- 1:27Speaker 1: Let's get to last night's selection of Texas A and
- 1:30Speaker 1: M defensive end Shamar Stewart third and twenty. This one's
- 1:34Speaker 1: third and nine for the Aggie forty one Beazlac pressure.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Up the middle. They got him, They got him. Samar
- 1:41Speaker 2: Stewart got him head midfield.
- 1:43Speaker 1: With a seventeenth pick in the draft, the Bengals addressed
- 1:46Speaker 1: one of their biggest needs by selecting perhaps the biggest
- 1:49Speaker 1: athletic freak in this year's draft. Shamar Stewart is six'
- 1:54Speaker 1: five and will likely play somewhere between two hundred and
- 1:57Speaker 1: seventy and two hundred and eighty, pounds so he's basically
- 2:01Speaker 1: the same size As Miles. Garrett remember how jaws dropped
- 2:06Speaker 1: When garrett went to THE nfl combine back in twenty.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Seventeen While miles ran a four to six', four Forty
- 2:15Speaker 1: shamar stewart was faster at four Five nine miles garrett
- 2:20Speaker 1: vertical jump was forty. One inches chamar was an inch
- 2:24Speaker 1: behind at Forty and garrett broad jumped ten feet. Eight inches,
- 2:30Speaker 1: Get this stuart was three. Inches better so why was
- 2:34Speaker 1: he still available at? Number seventeen well because his production
- 2:38Speaker 1: in three years With the aggies didn't. Measure up chamar
- 2:42Speaker 1: had a total of four and a, half sacks one
- 2:45Speaker 1: and a half. Each season he did have thirty nine
- 2:48Speaker 1: quarterback pressures last year and grated well against, the run
- 2:51Speaker 1: but it's hard to ignore four and a half sacks
- 2:55Speaker 1: in thirty seven. College Games al Golden And zach taylor
- 3:00Speaker 1: think he's capable of much more IN.
- 3:02Speaker 2: The nfl, you.
- 3:04Speaker 3: Know he's got the reach in the length to. Do
- 3:06Speaker 3: it he's got the bend at, the top and he's got,
- 3:09Speaker 3: you know speed to power. Long arm so he's got
- 3:12Speaker 3: a lot of the things that. We want he's a,
- 3:13Speaker 3: strong edgesetter but we feel like he's got the traits
- 3:17Speaker 3: that that we covet and the play demeanor that we
- 3:21Speaker 3: don't have to do anything but get him out there
- 3:23Speaker 3: and watch him. Do it so from, that standpoint we're
- 3:26Speaker 3: excited to work.
- 3:27Speaker 4: With him we anticipate getting a lot of production out.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Of him, You know i've got great faith in our
- 3:31Speaker 4: coaches that you know there's there's a lot of near
- 3:35Speaker 4: production obviously there as you watch all the clips. With him,
- 3:38Speaker 4: but again we see a tremendous football player who's going
- 3:40Speaker 4: to come in and help us and be really productive.
- 3:43Speaker 3: For us we're going to utilize him to, his STRENGTHS
- 3:45Speaker 3: and i think that's what's, really important and we're not
- 3:47Speaker 3: going to ask him to do anything that he hasn't.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Already done we want to take his traits and develop
- 3:53Speaker 3: him so that he becomes better and he continues. To
- 3:56Speaker 3: ascend this is an ascending player. Right now, you know
- 4:00Speaker 3: we're in an error Now where covid is hitting and
- 4:03Speaker 3: you're getting a lot, of fourth fifth year guys and
- 4:05Speaker 3: some even six. Year guys this guy is an ascending
- 4:08Speaker 3: player right now and a young man that we're really
- 4:12Speaker 3: looking forward to.
- 4:13Speaker 4: Working with he's a tremendous athlete and so again that
- 4:15Speaker 4: you've got to be aware. Of them the quarterback's got
- 4:17Speaker 4: to be aware. Of them play car has got to
- 4:18Speaker 4: be aware. Of them tackles got to do a great
- 4:20Speaker 4: job defending. Against him and so again we're just excited
- 4:23Speaker 4: about what he can bring to.
- 4:24Speaker 3: The table i'm just really impressed with the, young man
- 4:26Speaker 3: just the way he approaches it the day in and, day,
- 4:29Speaker 3: out practice, the drills the way he chases. The, football again,
- 4:35Speaker 3: for us that's, play demeanor, that's attitude. That's effort those
- 4:39Speaker 3: are all the things that we're looking for and can
- 4:42Speaker 3: set the edge in, this division which is. Really important
- 4:45Speaker 3: going to be hard to get knocked off the ball
- 4:47Speaker 3: by tackles or. Tight ends and obviously he's a guy
- 4:51Speaker 3: who makes place on the second level and on.
- 4:55Speaker 4: The perimeter, you know he's earned everything he's got. In life,
- 4:58Speaker 4: you know just just hearing his story grown up and
- 5:01Speaker 4: where he's gotten, to now and, so again really excited
- 5:04Speaker 4: to get to know him even better once he gets
- 5:05Speaker 4: in the building and did around him a little.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Bit more but we're fired up.
- 5:08Speaker 1: About him stewart attended the draft last Night In green
- 5:12Speaker 1: bay dressed in a resplendent, green suit and when he
- 5:16Speaker 1: took the stage after the pick, was announced He Engulfed Commissioner.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Roger goodell much Like, the bengals hope he will wrap
- 5:24Speaker 1: up quarterbacks in the years. To come schamar did a
- 5:27Speaker 1: conference call with local reporters after he was selected and
- 5:30Speaker 1: here were a few of. His comments.
- 5:34Speaker 2: What about your game translates the best TO? The nfl do, You?
- 5:37Speaker 5: Think shamar my power rush is setting everything up. WITH
- 5:40Speaker 5: power I mean i had the leading stack rush last
- 5:43Speaker 5: year and all he did, Was power so, you know
- 5:47Speaker 5: it translates, Pretty.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Seamlessly shamar when you look at the lack of production
- 5:51Speaker 2: that you had in college and kind of how teams
- 5:53Speaker 2: maybe asked you, about that what was your best response
- 5:55Speaker 2: about why that sack total was what it was through
- 5:56Speaker 2: three years?
- 5:57Speaker 5: AT eight, i mean most be. MULTIPLE reasons i mean
- 6:01Speaker 5: my first TWO years i didn't play it as much
- 6:05Speaker 5: in this. PAST year I mean i was, getting there
- 6:07Speaker 5: but at the, same time, YOU know i just it's
- 6:11Speaker 5: just technical things along the ways to the COURTBACK that
- 6:14Speaker 5: i just need, to refine and of course just wrapping
- 6:17Speaker 5: up on the. QUARTERBACK quests i, get there, You know
- 6:19Speaker 5: it's just it's NOT like i can't. GET there i led,
- 6:22Speaker 5: the team my team, and pressures and we also had
- 6:24Speaker 5: THE best d line and. A see i, feel like in,
- 6:26Speaker 5: my opinion it was just minus minus technical difficulties on.
- 6:30Speaker 1: My end what's the best way to kind of get
- 6:32Speaker 1: in that between now and the start of, the season
- 6:34Speaker 1: you think to kind of making sure you're as technical
- 6:36Speaker 1: as possible to get on the field as much.

- 8:35Speaker 1: on the Selection Of. SAMAR stewart i guess You know.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I'm Thinking al golden was excited as heck that the
- 8:44Speaker 2: shot that they Had Of, al golden he was thrilled
- 8:46Speaker 2: to death to give. A guy and why wouldn't you
- 8:49Speaker 2: be thrilled to have a genetic freak, like that, you
- 8:54Speaker 2: know a marvel that you can. Maybe DEVELOP but i
- 8:58Speaker 2: haven't seen enough to determine if WAS it A and
- 9:03Speaker 2: m's structure and what they asked him to, DO defensively,
- 9:08Speaker 2: i mean did they ask him to, line up, you
- 9:10Speaker 2: know nose up on guys and to. GAP them, i
- 9:13Speaker 2: mean with that, athletic ability that's that's the. CRIMINAL offense,
- 9:17Speaker 2: I mean i would think you put him in gaps
- 9:19Speaker 2: and have him penetrate, and disrupt and that's what he's capable.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Of doing and, you Know maybe i'll looks at it,
- 9:24Speaker 2: and says And again i'm SPECULATING because i have not
- 9:30Speaker 2: seen enough, to make, you know a JUDGMENT that I
- 9:33Speaker 2: that i'm confident with based on. Film study, you know
- 9:38Speaker 2: maybe it's like in my System what i'm going to
- 9:41Speaker 2: be asking him. To do, you KNOW maybe i will
- 9:44Speaker 2: be able to Develop A miles garrett or something close.
- 9:46Speaker 2: To that, you know they obviously felt good, about it
- 9:51Speaker 2: felt good about, the selection and, but man thirty seven
- 9:56Speaker 2: games to have, you know basically sixteen negative plays and one,
- 10:04Speaker 2: force fumble two passes deflected at the line. OF scrimmage,
- 10:08Speaker 2: i mean it just it does not, you know one
- 10:11Speaker 2: plus one doesn't. Equal two it's a.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Crazy formula you'd like the sack total to. Be higher
- 10:17Speaker 1: but he did have pressures thirty nine pressures. Last year
- 10:21Speaker 1: that was tied for thirty seventh in. The country his
- 10:24Speaker 1: run stopping great According To Pro, football focus number five among.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Edge players so that. Was excellent and as, you noted
- 10:33Speaker 1: you're Hoping With al golden you can develop him to
- 10:36Speaker 1: be the kind of dominant force you're hoping the seventeenth
- 10:39Speaker 1: pick in the draft.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Can. BE yeah i mean you look at the pressures
- 10:44Speaker 2: and you look at the number of sacks off of.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Those pressures maybe, you know did, he finish was he
- 10:50Speaker 2: able to did he miss a lot? Of tackles, you
- 10:52Speaker 2: know did he miss a lot? Of sacks did you
- 10:54Speaker 2: not get guys to. The ground he got the quarterback
- 10:58Speaker 2: off his, spot obviously, and uh, you know pressure him
- 11:01Speaker 2: and made him, harriers, read, harriers throw whatever the case.
- 11:05Speaker 2: May be but you, know what maybe it's something that
- 11:08Speaker 2: can be coached in Terms, of okay let's just teach
- 11:12Speaker 2: this guy to finish a. LITTLE better, i mean he's he's.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Right there let's just make sure that he has a good,
- 11:19Speaker 2: feeling about, you know getting people on. The ground so,
- 11:23Speaker 2: the numbers the, numbers are, you know hard to figure it,
- 11:27Speaker 2: out THOUGH like, i said they they just they just
- 11:31Speaker 2: don't add up, a guy a guy of. HIS caliber,
- 11:34Speaker 2: i mean if you've got that number, of Pressures usually
- 11:37Speaker 2: i'm not saying you go one for one in terms of,
- 11:40Speaker 2: you know every time you pressure the quarterback you're getting.
- 11:42Speaker 2: A SACK but i mean the good, pass rushers, you
- 11:46Speaker 2: know thirty forty percent of the time they're there when
- 11:52Speaker 2: they're pressuring people like the quarterbacks, like that they're, getting
- 11:55Speaker 2: them getting them on. The ground and his numbers just
- 11:57Speaker 2: don't don't add up. THAT way i do like.
- 12:01Speaker 1: The size if you look at some of the other
- 12:04Speaker 1: edge rushers in, this draft they were under two hundred and.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Fifty Pounds mike green is approximately a two hundred and fifty.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Pound guy Ezerraku From boston college less than two hundred and.
- 12:15Speaker 1: FIFTY pounds i was Looking At sjamar stewart's Bio FROM
- 12:19Speaker 1: texas A. And m they listed him at two ninety.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Last year now at, THE combine i think he weighed two,
- 12:26Speaker 1: sixty seven so his ideal weight is probably in the
- 12:29Speaker 1: two seventy to two. Eighty range but IN The, AFC
- 12:33Speaker 1: north i do think you need size to stand up
- 12:38Speaker 1: against some of the offenses you're gonna face in. This,
- 12:40Speaker 1: DIVISION yeah.
- 12:42Speaker 2: I agree I mean i saw one BIO that I
- 12:44Speaker 2: saw Mike, YOU dan i saw him at sixty six
- 12:46Speaker 2: over two Ninety and I'm like, JAZ so, i mean
- 12:50Speaker 2: he's probably a solid, sixty five? Is he they probably
- 12:53Speaker 2: cheated a little bit and boosted him up to, sixty
- 12:55Speaker 2: six but he's probably a good solid. Sixty five, and
- 12:59Speaker 2: uh you know he's been able to carry over two
- 13:03Speaker 2: hundred and ninety pounds and then showed the athleticism that
- 13:06Speaker 2: he showed and that's that's that's. PRETTY impressive, i mean
- 13:10Speaker 2: he he definitely was. The show stole. THE combine i
- 13:14Speaker 2: mean he had, a combine, you know LIKE like, i
- 13:17Speaker 2: Said Like, miles garrett and. THAT'S legendary i mean some
- 13:20Speaker 2: of this forty inch vertical when you're, you know weighing
- 13:24Speaker 2: what say maybe in the mid, two. Seventies unbelievable and
- 13:29Speaker 2: he broad jumped, you know and in short at eleven
- 13:31Speaker 2: feet standing broad JUMP what, i mean, you know and
- 13:35Speaker 2: then ran a four or. FIVE nine i mean that is.
- 13:38Speaker 2: A freak that is an, Athletic phenomenon there's. No doubt
- 13:44Speaker 2: and again thirty four and eighth. INCH arms i mean,
- 13:47Speaker 2: the guy the guy, is, long, strong fast, Can run
- 13:53Speaker 2: he's got first. Step quickness his ten yard and twenty
- 13:56Speaker 2: yard splits were. REALLY good, i mean he he's he's
- 14:00Speaker 2: good every single. Thing athletically that's that you want in the.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Defensive LINEMAN and, i think, You Know al golden feels
- 14:10Speaker 2: like He And jerry montgomery can can coach him up
- 14:13Speaker 2: and develop him and maybe utilize him a little bit
- 14:17Speaker 2: differently than he was Utilized AT texas A. And m,
- 14:20Speaker 2: and again, YOU know i don't want to Speak like
- 14:24Speaker 2: i'm an authority on THAT because i have not studied.
- 14:26Speaker 2: That enough but man if if the if the light
- 14:31Speaker 2: goes on for him and he develops and learns how
- 14:36Speaker 2: to how to, finish plays, you know that's that's the
- 14:39Speaker 2: Challenge With. Miles Murphy miles murphy coming off, THE edge,
- 14:42Speaker 2: i mean high, draft pick unbelievably explosive first, step quickness,
- 14:48Speaker 2: you know, but boy his. Football geometry he needs, a tutor,
- 14:53Speaker 2: you know he. Needs to he, needs to, you know
- 14:54Speaker 2: get get schooled on. Proper angles, you know take an
- 14:58Speaker 2: angle at. The quarterback it's not satisfactory to finish. The
- 15:03Speaker 2: play he's either underneath him short or over the top.
- 15:06Speaker 2: Too HIGH and i, don't know Maybe maybe stewart's looking
- 15:10Speaker 2: at some of that a, little bit, you know just
- 15:14Speaker 2: something that. Aiming points so whatever the case. May BE but,
- 15:18Speaker 2: I mean i'll tell you what a guy six 'y
- 15:23Speaker 2: five around two hundred and seventy pounds that has the
- 15:28Speaker 2: athletic ability and the strength and, the explosiveness the ability
- 15:32Speaker 2: to run and jump like a man, much smaller that's that's.
- 15:38Speaker 2: A bear you don't want to. Wrestle. With man that's.
- 15:40Speaker 2: A beast I can i can see where he'd be
- 15:43Speaker 2: an unbelievable. Run DEFENDER and i think that what he's
- 15:47Speaker 2: going To Provide al golden Is what al likes out
- 15:50Speaker 2: of a lot of, his players and like a LOT
- 15:52Speaker 2: of nfl, players now is. POSITION versatility, i mean, this
- 15:56Speaker 2: guy can, you know he's big enough and stound enough
- 15:59Speaker 2: to go inside and play defensive tackle lineup in a,
- 16:02Speaker 2: three technique even line up on, the nose, you know
- 16:04Speaker 2: and h and hunker down and two gap there and
- 16:08Speaker 2: hit a gap and, and uh, you. KNOW disrupt, i
- 16:12Speaker 2: mean that's that's what a guy of his physical stature
- 16:15Speaker 2: and his, athletic ability, to me that equals. UNBELIEVABLE disruption,
- 16:21Speaker 2: i mean He's gonna he's a guy that, Could, say
- 16:25Speaker 2: okay the line of scrimmage maybe at the snap of
- 16:28Speaker 2: the football was the thirty eight, yard line your thirty eight,
- 16:31Speaker 2: yard line but when the, play unfolds you're gonna think
- 16:35Speaker 2: it was the thirty six. Yard, Line man i'm going
- 16:37Speaker 2: to re establish that line of scrimmage in my favor and.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Against you he's he's one of those kind. Of guys
- 16:43Speaker 2: and those, Guys are those guys. Are rare those guys
- 16:46Speaker 2: are the guys are hard to. Deal. With man, YOU
- 16:50Speaker 2: know i could see where this guy one, on one,
- 16:53Speaker 2: you know AND again i haven't seen enough tape. TO
- 16:55Speaker 2: see i tend to doubt that a guy of that
- 17:00Speaker 2: size of an athletic ability was putting manned situations one
- 17:05Speaker 2: on one blocking by. The opponent i'll guarantee you that he,
- 17:09Speaker 2: always had, you know four eyes and four hands. On
- 17:14Speaker 2: him in terms of two guys, blocking him so, you
- 17:18Speaker 2: know it's it'll be interesting to sell how all this
- 17:21Speaker 2: translates To The National. Football league BUT again i will
- 17:25Speaker 2: Say That al golden is very excited about working with
- 17:31Speaker 2: and developing And Taking shamar stewart's game to. Another level,
- 17:36Speaker 2: and honestly there is room for growth.
- 17:39Speaker 4: And development let's look ahead.
- 17:41Speaker 2: To.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Tomorrow lap, right Now the bengals have the forty ninth
- 17:44Speaker 1: pick in the. SECOND round i have been suggesting this
- 17:48Speaker 1: would be an ideal time to possibly. Trade back maybe
- 17:51Speaker 1: you can get an extra, fourth rounder a couple of,
- 17:53Speaker 1: fourth rounders something, like that if you move back five to,
- 17:56Speaker 1: ten spots and in, my opinion if you can move
- 18:00Speaker 1: back and still get one of the top guards on,
- 18:02Speaker 1: your board this would be a great time to. Do
- 18:04Speaker 1: it what do you think About the bengals possible plans
- 18:07Speaker 1: in rounds two?
- 18:08Speaker 2: AND three i agree with your with your, Thought. PROCESS
- 18:12Speaker 2: dan i think in one of, those rounds second or,
- 18:15Speaker 2: third round they will, trade BACK and i do think
- 18:19Speaker 2: they're going to target now that they've taken care of
- 18:21Speaker 2: the interior of the, defensive LINE and i don't have
- 18:24Speaker 2: a problem. With them i'm going into. The draft you
- 18:26Speaker 2: know you, would, say Okay resources i've spent have been on,
- 18:30Speaker 2: the offense and no question, about it, you know resigning
- 18:34Speaker 2: the two of the best wide receivers In The National
- 18:37Speaker 2: football league and a tight end that is a. Good
- 18:40Speaker 2: receiver as there is a deposition in the In The
- 18:44Speaker 2: National FOOTBALL League bj hill defensive side. Of things but because,
- 18:48Speaker 2: you know resources were, Spent there, I'm, thinking okay they
- 18:52Speaker 2: get their. Defensive lineman, you know now let's go offensive
- 18:57Speaker 2: lineman and, if possible trade back and if you can
- 19:03Speaker 2: in the next three picks instead of the next, two
- 19:05Speaker 2: picks maybe it double down on the. Offensive LINE and
- 19:09Speaker 2: i Think the bengals in the past historically when they have,
- 19:13Speaker 2: doubled down and sometimes they double down almost in a,
- 19:16Speaker 2: you know around right after the. Other basis, you know
- 19:22Speaker 2: my situation was was a lot. LIKE that i was
- 19:26Speaker 2: the sixty first pick of, the draft and it was
- 19:28Speaker 2: a it was. A Trade the bengals made a trade
- 19:33Speaker 2: to get that sixty first pick of, the draft and
- 19:36Speaker 2: they took me as a, you know as a guard
- 19:39Speaker 2: in the, third round in the, fourth round and they drafted,
- 19:43Speaker 2: a big big burley Guard, From Nebraska, daryl white and,
- 19:48Speaker 2: you know so it was back, to back and, it's like,
- 19:50Speaker 2: all right as, man wins, let's go let's go. To
- 19:53Speaker 2: camps who's going to get that that opening that spot
- 19:56Speaker 2: in the. OFFENSIVE line i could see that, happening, potentially particularly,
- 20:02Speaker 2: you know maybe not back, to back but, maybe uh,
- 20:05Speaker 2: you know you pick a you pick, a guard address,
- 20:07Speaker 2: another position come back and hit. It again if there
- 20:10Speaker 2: are guys on the board that you still have rated,
- 20:13Speaker 2: pretty HIGHLY and i think they're going to be, YOU know,
- 20:16Speaker 2: I mean I think i think that there are enough
- 20:19Speaker 2: enough out THERE where i think they can still, you
- 20:23Speaker 2: know uh make hay and AND again i think sometimes
- 20:27Speaker 2: these offensive tackles that are going to be are still on.
- 20:30Speaker 2: The board, you know you look, at it, you, say
- 20:32Speaker 2: okay tackle position a little different when you're when you're on,
- 20:37Speaker 2: the edge you're you're you're worried about you know that
- 20:40Speaker 2: that interstate lane, right there and you don't physically you
- 20:44Speaker 2: have to. Be skilled you have to have tools to
- 20:46Speaker 2: be able to. Handle that you don't have to worry
- 20:48Speaker 2: about much, MENTALLY though i mean you you basically block
- 20:51Speaker 2: that in when. You're inside, you know you have to,
- 20:54Speaker 2: recognize fronts, structure, configurations schematics and you have to be
- 20:59Speaker 2: able to recon as are quickly. And communicated so sometimes
- 21:02Speaker 2: tackles don't kick inside is easily, to guard and then
- 21:07Speaker 2: guards kicking out. To tackle, you know mentally they can handle,
- 21:10Speaker 2: it obviously but physically can they handle. IT well i
- 21:14Speaker 2: think there are a bunch of a linemen in, this
- 21:17Speaker 2: draft particularly tackles going inside. THE guard I think i
- 21:22Speaker 2: think that the numbers that they show in terms of
- 21:26Speaker 2: testing and all that sort, of thing and, and uh,
- 21:30Speaker 2: you know their football IQ's and all that sort, OF
- 21:32Speaker 2: thing i think that that there's there are, candidates there
- 21:37Speaker 2: so it will be interesting. To see, you KNOW it's
- 21:43Speaker 2: I Think donovan jackson Out Of, OHIO state, i mean
- 21:46Speaker 2: what what what's going to happen? With that with that?
- 21:48Speaker 2: Bad Boy josh simmons another another guy Out Of. OHIO
- 21:51Speaker 2: state i mean there The buck eys have not have
- 21:55Speaker 2: not been selected uh as often as probably the Fans in.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Columbus wish but there there are a couple of offensive
- 22:04Speaker 2: linemens still out there that that, you know right there
- 22:07Speaker 2: in the State of ohio That the bengals might be
- 22:10Speaker 2: able to think about. Working with SO there's i think
- 22:14Speaker 2: there's going to be plenty. OF opportunity, i mean my,
- 22:16Speaker 2: Dream Guy will campbell did go with the fourth pick
- 22:19Speaker 2: To The New. England Patriots, But dan i'm, telling, YOU
- 22:21Speaker 2: man i was excited about this guy because, watching him
- 22:28Speaker 2: he's like a. Highlight reel you throw a game tape
- 22:30Speaker 2: on and the dude's so. Consistently effective, you know, it's,
- 22:34Speaker 2: like man is this consecutive stats, for like, you know

- 22:53Speaker 2: To it he's, a grinder a leader HIGH. FOOTBALL iq,
- 22:58Speaker 2: i mean there's He's a he was a dream and
- 23:02Speaker 2: you know the dream turned into a nightmare As the
- 23:05Speaker 2: patriots took him with that.
- 23:06Speaker 4: Fourth, day yeah he's.
- 23:09Speaker 1: Long gone there's still plenty of good, guards LEFT and
- 23:11Speaker 1: i think they should take one in round two with.
- 23:13Speaker 1: This Caveat If notre Dame Safety xavier watts, Is there
- 23:19Speaker 1: i'm willing to push the guard down, the road kick
- 23:23Speaker 1: the can down the road a little bit And Consider.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Xavier watts but aside, FROM that i think they've got to,
- 23:28Speaker 1: go guard and there will be good ones to choose
- 23:31Speaker 1: from at forty nine or even a little bit later
- 23:33Speaker 1: if they were to.
- 23:34Speaker 2: TRADE back i agree with you one hundred, Thousand, Percent
- 23:37Speaker 2: DAN and i agree with You About xavier. Wats too
- 23:40Speaker 2: the dude. Can play the. Dude's Smart And al golden
- 23:45Speaker 2: knows everything there is to Know about xavier Watchs And
- 23:48Speaker 2: xavier wats knows everything you need to Know About al
- 23:51Speaker 2: golden and what his scheme is and how to. Execute
- 23:54Speaker 2: It And al golden is very very effusive in his
- 23:58Speaker 2: Praise Of. Xavier watch and the safety has to, you
- 24:02Speaker 2: know make calls on that. Back End And al golden
- 24:06Speaker 2: had all the faith and confidence in The World xavier
- 24:09Speaker 2: watch being able to handle things mentally as well. AS physically.

- 24:19Speaker 2: gusto and then, you know maybe address, that uh, you
- 24:22Speaker 2: know that offensive lineman in the, third round and if
- 24:24Speaker 2: you do have maybe you do go back to back
