Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of The Intel with Greg
- 0:10Speaker 1: Cosell on Inside the Birds. I'm Jeff Mosher, I'm with
- 0:13Speaker 1: Adam Kaplan, and of course we've got Greg Cosell to
- 0:16Speaker 1: continue breaking down NFL prospects by position. This position for
- 0:20Speaker 1: this episode will be running back. And Greg, I got
- 0:23Speaker 1: to give you credit because last year at this time
- 0:25Speaker 1: we were talking running backs and there was the clear
- 0:28Speaker 1: number one in Ashton Genty, and then you were the
- 0:31Speaker 1: one that said, you know this, Amari and Hampton, guy
- 0:33Speaker 1: from North Carolina has every trait to be as good
- 0:37Speaker 1: as Ashton Genty. And if you go look at their
- 0:39Speaker 1: rookie seasons, obviously Genty was in a rough situation, but
- 0:42Speaker 1: I think Hampton showed that you were right. He looked
- 0:45Speaker 1: when he was healthy. Yeah, he was a really good back.
- 0:48Speaker 2: When he was playing. It looked like a good franchise back.
- 0:51Speaker 1: And so this year you go in and it seems
- 0:53Speaker 1: like there's a clear number one that we'll get into.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Uh, there is a clear number one.
- 0:57Speaker 1: There is a clear number one, and I wonder if
- 0:59Speaker 1: if anybody gotten into your Yeah, but this guy, he
- 1:02Speaker 1: can be that guy too.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Kind of prospect.
- 1:04Speaker 1: So let's just start with the clear number one Jeremiah
- 1:07Speaker 1: Love out of Notre Dame. Where is he among the
- 1:09Speaker 1: prospect the running back prospects you've watched tape on over
- 1:12Speaker 1: the last few years.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Oh, to me, he's fits. I think he's a better
- 1:17Speaker 2: prospect than Jen Dy, you know. To me, when I
- 1:20Speaker 2: watched Love, and I watched him last summer too, because
- 1:22Speaker 2: obviously he was a name that people were talking about,
- 1:24Speaker 2: and Notre dame'son a really good football team. I mean,
- 1:27Speaker 2: you're dealing with a guy that I think he's six
- 1:29Speaker 2: feet to twelve, so he's not small. I kind of
- 1:33Speaker 2: saw him in the sort of Bijon Robinson Jamier Gibbs mold.
- 1:39Speaker 2: You know, I think he's incredibly explosive, but he can
- 1:42Speaker 2: run inside. He's not just a fast guy. But the
- 1:47Speaker 2: other thing is he can detach from the formation. He's
- 1:49Speaker 2: a very very good receiver. I mean Bijon Robinson this
- 1:52Speaker 2: past season, twenty percent of his snaps he was detached, So,
- 1:57Speaker 2: you know, I think you can do that with Love.
- 1:59Speaker 2: But he is really explosive, but there's a physicality and
- 2:02Speaker 2: toughness to his running as well. So to me, he
- 2:05Speaker 2: you know, he falls into that category of a really
- 2:08Speaker 2: special prospect, you know. So, I mean I remember last
- 2:14Speaker 2: year when people said Genty, you know, he was the
- 2:15Speaker 2: best back to come out in ten years. I didn't
- 2:17Speaker 2: quite see that. I didn't. I didn't think he was
- 2:19Speaker 2: at the level coming out of Barkley or or or Bijon,
- 2:24Speaker 2: and Genty, you know, did gain a thousand. He was
- 2:26Speaker 2: in a really rough situation. Maybe now with Kubiak there
- 2:30Speaker 2: he'll gain fifteen hundred yards. I mean, gent, he's a
- 2:32Speaker 2: good back. This is no knock on Genty at all.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I just think Love is bigger. I think he's just
- 2:39Speaker 2: he's more explosive for sure, and I think he can
- 2:41Speaker 2: give you more in the past game as well.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Staying at that school, Greg, let's talk about to Darien Price.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's interesting because he you know, he stayed
- 2:53Speaker 2: there obviously, and and you know he made that choice,
- 2:56Speaker 2: and so he was he was more than just a backup.
- 2:59Speaker 2: I mean, you know, because because don't forget, Love only
- 3:02Speaker 2: carried one hundred and ninety nine times this year and
- 3:03Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty three times last year. So it's
- 3:06Speaker 2: not as if Love has you know, was a three
- 3:07Speaker 2: hundred carry guy. You know, Price is five to ten
- 3:11Speaker 2: more than five ten two oh three. He actually ran
- 3:14Speaker 2: well at the combine. You know, he's your classic case
- 3:19Speaker 2: of how do you see him? You know, we've had
- 3:22Speaker 2: this conversation many times over the years now these last
- 3:25Speaker 2: number of years, about quote unquote feature back and how
- 3:29Speaker 2: teams see that. And it's different for every team, you know.
- 3:33Speaker 2: I think we have this sense that there's certain guys
- 3:36Speaker 2: like like you look at Price at two o three
- 3:38Speaker 2: and people might say, oh, he's not a feature back.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Two o three is not big enough, But you know,
- 3:44Speaker 2: then it depends on team and and you know, obviously
- 3:46Speaker 2: the player we've always used is kind of the poster
- 3:48Speaker 2: child for this was Kyraen Williams, another Notre Damer, you know,
- 3:52Speaker 2: who had over three hundred carries in twenty twenty four
- 3:54Speaker 2: and well over two hundred this year. You know, no
- 3:58Speaker 2: one thought of him as a feature back coming out
- 4:00Speaker 2: a Notre Dame, but in Sean mcvay's system, he's a
- 4:03Speaker 2: feature back. Now this year they went a little more
- 4:06Speaker 2: with a two back with Blake Koram, who had a
- 4:08Speaker 2: meaningful number of carries. I think Price probably fits more
- 4:13Speaker 2: to me, and I like Price, but I think he
- 4:16Speaker 2: probably fits more in like that David Montgomery mold where
- 4:20Speaker 2: you know you can still get one hundred and fifty
- 4:22Speaker 2: hundred and seventy. I mean, I think Montgomery two years
- 4:25Speaker 2: ago Gibbs rookie year at two hundred plus carries, and
- 4:28Speaker 2: this year would have been right there if he didn't
- 4:30Speaker 2: miss three games. So you know, I think Price probably
- 4:33Speaker 2: falls more into that category than you build your offense
- 4:37Speaker 2: around him. So you know, he's not loose hip. There's
- 4:42Speaker 2: a little stiffness to him, but he has very quick feed.
- 4:45Speaker 2: He's a sharp, controlled cut guy as opposed to like,
- 4:48Speaker 2: as you know, a zuzu guy, you know, with really
- 4:51Speaker 2: loose hips. I would say he's not a true home
- 4:54Speaker 2: run threat, but he did show at times the accelerating
- 4:58Speaker 2: speed to run away from p people. He's very, very tough.
- 5:02Speaker 2: That's what you love about him. There's a competitive toughness
- 5:05Speaker 2: to his running and that's you know, that's coaches are
- 5:09Speaker 2: going to love that. I think he'd be seen as
- 5:12Speaker 2: a higher volume complement as opposed to a foundation back
- 5:16Speaker 2: that's the starting point of an offense. But I like
- 5:18Speaker 2: Jadarian Price all.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Right, Notre Dame always pumping out the running backs. Let's
- 5:23Speaker 1: talk about Arkansas's Mike Washington.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Now, he is a guy that I knew nothing about
- 5:29Speaker 2: because of his whole background. I mean, he's he had
- 5:32Speaker 2: one of those where started at Buffalo, went to New
- 5:35Speaker 2: Mexico for New Mexico State, I believe, for a season,
- 5:38Speaker 2: then came to Arkansas for one year and was really good.
- 5:43Speaker 2: I liked his tape a lot. Now, to me, I
- 5:45Speaker 2: think this guy can be a feature back. He's six',
- 5:47Speaker 2: one he's two twenty. Three he's got two things that
- 5:50Speaker 2: normally make you think feature. Back he's got speed and,
- 5:53Speaker 2: power and he's two twenty. Three so you, know he's
- 5:56Speaker 2: both a physical runner who can get hard yards inside
- 5:59Speaker 2: and he's home run. Hitter SO i came away from
- 6:03Speaker 2: From washington believing that this guy can truly be a
- 6:06Speaker 2: feature back in the. LEAGUE i, mean he's kind of
- 6:08Speaker 2: has a rare size speed. Profile you, know he's that
- 6:14Speaker 2: guy to. Me, now, AGAIN i don't know how people see,
- 6:17Speaker 2: him you, know and there's also a physical presence to his,
- 6:20Speaker 2: running WHICH i thought was really. Good so you, know you're,
- 6:25Speaker 2: dealing LIKE i, said with a guy that has just
- 6:29Speaker 2: when you talk about that kind of, SPEED i, mean
- 6:32Speaker 2: what is everybody looking? For on, offense explosive, backs guys
- 6:36Speaker 2: who can take it to the. House he can take
- 6:38Speaker 2: it to the. House.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Greg when you look At Jonah, coleman he played at two,
- 6:43Speaker 3: schools he finished up At. Washington he's kind of an intriguing.
- 6:45Speaker 3: Guy what are your thoughts on?
- 6:46Speaker 2: Him, yeah he's an intriguing guy because of the way he's.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Built he's built like a bowling, ball you, know and
- 6:54Speaker 2: you know from what you, hear and AGAIN i don't know.
- 6:56Speaker 2: This you, know people talk about he might have a weight,
- 6:58Speaker 2: issue you. KNOW i don't. KNOW i don't get into,
- 7:00Speaker 2: that but you, know he's he's a highly, competitive tough downhill.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Runner and because he's five eight and an, eighth he's
- 7:06Speaker 2: got a very low center of. Gravity but there's a
- 7:09Speaker 2: physical presence to him that shows up on almost every.
- 7:12Speaker 2: RUN i think he's got. PATIENCE i think he has
- 7:16Speaker 2: an innate feel to set up and manipulate both first
- 7:19Speaker 2: and second level defenders with how he uses his downhill
- 7:22Speaker 2: path and his stick. Steps he's he's explosive in the short.
- 7:26Speaker 2: AREA i mean he has that short area burst and
- 7:29Speaker 2: acceleration to hit the hole with velocity and natural. Power
- 7:33Speaker 2: he's not a home run. Hitter you, know he's kind
- 7:36Speaker 2: of more of a daughter and a, slasher but he's
- 7:39Speaker 2: got very good contact balance because of you, know his.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Size he, absorbs because he's so low to the, ground
- 7:44Speaker 2: he absorbs hits and he can, maintain resulting in a
- 7:48Speaker 2: good number of explosive runs that don't come from. Speed all, Right,
- 7:54Speaker 2: greg it might be.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Good just like with The Notre dame, prospects to ask
- 7:57Speaker 1: you About Nick singleton And lee and K Tron allen
- 8:01Speaker 1: together and they were basically interchangeable within the, offense and
- 8:04Speaker 1: they both had very one was a touchdown record holder
- 8:07Speaker 1: or the other was like an all purpose yards record.
- 8:09Speaker 4: Holder so how do you see these two. Prospects Nick
- 8:13Speaker 4: singleton is a fascinating. Study, obviously he did not put
- 8:16Speaker 4: up big numbers this. Year as you, Know jeffy came
- 8:19Speaker 4: out of a.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Was it The pittsburgh? Area he came out Of. Pennsylvania, No, no
- 8:24Speaker 2: he's More Lee High valley, area in The High, Valley.
- 8:26Speaker 2: OKAY i think he was the number. ONE i mean he.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Was he was like a five star recruit and the
- 8:31Speaker 2: top one hundred prospect. NATIONALLY i mean this this guy
- 8:34Speaker 2: was viewed as you, know if you Get singleton, man
- 8:35Speaker 2: you got. Something, yes he's an interesting. Guy he's he's
- 8:41Speaker 2: pretty much to me a one, cut downhill explosive. Back he's,
- 8:45Speaker 2: big he's six feet and a quarter and two. Nineteen
- 8:49Speaker 2: he's he's kind of straight line, linear he's not loose,
- 8:52Speaker 2: hipped but he's he's, fast and he's. Explosive the guy
- 8:57Speaker 2: he kind of reminded me, of AND i THOUGHT i
- 9:00Speaker 2: watched him last, summer you, know when he had the
- 9:03Speaker 2: better year in terms of, numbers and then watching him this,
- 9:05Speaker 2: year and then it just hit. Me the guy he
- 9:07Speaker 2: reminded me, of who was very to, me very similar
- 9:11Speaker 2: in just, downhill explosive but kind of a little tight,
- 9:14Speaker 2: hipped Was darren. McFadden oh, boy, Wow, okay great line,
- 9:19Speaker 2: speed a straight. LINE i, Mean jeff knows. THIS i,
- 9:22Speaker 2: Mean simonson is truly an explosive. Player and by the,
- 9:25Speaker 2: way he's, tough he'll hit it up. INSIDE i, mean
- 9:28Speaker 2: he's not a scat back by any. Means but you,
- 9:32Speaker 2: know obviously he didn't have the big. Year he's a
- 9:33Speaker 2: guy that in the right. System despite only rushing for
- 9:36Speaker 2: what five hundred yards this, year it wasn't a big
- 9:38Speaker 2: year numbers. Wise all of a, sudden you could see
- 9:41Speaker 2: him in the right, system WHICH i think is more zone.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Based that to me is what he. Is you could
- 9:47Speaker 2: see him be a guy that all of a sudden
- 9:49Speaker 2: steps in and becomes really good as a rookie because
- 9:52Speaker 2: he just has those kinds of. TRAITS i mean you're
- 9:55Speaker 2: talking about downhill, burst, explosiveness. POWER i, mean he has
- 10:00Speaker 2: what you want for a one cut zone run, scheme.
- 10:03Speaker 1: RIGHT i think with, Him greg is if you give
- 10:06Speaker 1: him a yard or two of space and let him get,
- 10:08Speaker 1: downhill he goes from being like a really nice suv
- 10:11Speaker 1: to a truck because he seems to develop that power
- 10:13Speaker 1: with Out, yeah, yeah.
- 10:15Speaker 2: YEAH i mean you know you think back and again
- 10:17Speaker 2: now you're talking about team and, scheme but you you
- 10:20Speaker 2: think back for people who can remember this to Like Terrell,
- 10:22Speaker 2: davis you know with The broncos where everything was you
- 10:25Speaker 2: know that mid to outside zone and you'd get him
- 10:28Speaker 2: clean to the first level and he could develop velocity and.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Speed and if you can do that's WHY i thought
- 10:34Speaker 2: Of darren, McFadden same kind of guy waited about two,
- 10:37Speaker 2: fifteen two, twenty really kind of tight, hipped but you,
- 10:40Speaker 2: know had that. Speed if you could get him, downhill you,
- 10:43Speaker 2: know with a little bit of. Room you, know, boy
- 10:45Speaker 2: you know these, GUYS i, Mean singleton is a Very
- 10:48Speaker 2: he may be the, interesting most interesting back in his
- 10:50Speaker 2: class because the production people aren't going to talk about
- 10:54Speaker 2: him because he really other than scoring some touchdowns this, Year,
- 10:56Speaker 2: jeff as you, know the production was not there this, year.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Right And greg the NEXT i want to talk about
- 11:03Speaker 3: out of this, Guy Emma johnson had a phenomenal year
- 11:06Speaker 3: at running and catching the football all of a sudden
- 11:09Speaker 3: out Of. Nebraska he was a backup till his final
- 11:11Speaker 3: year and he just went. Off he had in, fact
- 11:13Speaker 3: he had forty six, receptions also a two hundred and
- 11:16Speaker 3: fifty one. Carriage what are your thoughts On Emma?
- 11:17Speaker 2: Johnson? Y Emma johnson was a very fun watch because
- 11:20Speaker 2: he's got a really electric and twitchy lower. HALF i
- 11:23Speaker 2: mean he's not, big he's five ten and a quarter
- 11:26Speaker 2: two h. Two he's not explosively straight line, fast but
- 11:31Speaker 2: he can make really, sharp decisive cuts at the first
- 11:34Speaker 2: and second levels of the. Defense great, balance great body.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Control he can reaccelerate when he's in confined. Space you,
- 11:42Speaker 2: know his build and frame gives him a low center of.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Gravity so he has very good. Balance he's a, slashing,
- 11:49Speaker 2: darting scatback looking. Runner you, know he looks like a you,
- 11:53Speaker 2: know a. Compliment but again then you think of, okay
- 11:56Speaker 2: what's the team in the. Scheme but but he really
- 11:59Speaker 2: has is you, know kind of a twitchy lower. HALF
- 12:02Speaker 2: i mean he can he can. Cut you, know he's
- 12:05Speaker 2: got that sort of, urgent, electric decisive downhill. Ability you,
- 12:09Speaker 2: know that sudden explosive. Burst you, know he's he was
- 12:14Speaker 2: a fun guy to. Watch it's just a matter of
- 12:16Speaker 2: how he's seen by teams when he gets to the
- 12:18Speaker 2: league because he's not he's not a home run hitter right.
- 12:21Speaker 3: Now now what's interesting is you As greg broke a Down.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Jeff he clearly HAS nfl. Trades but the one knock
- 12:29Speaker 3: on him this is combine time is. Official thomas four
- 12:31Speaker 3: five six? Correct not good for running. Back of, FACT
- 12:35Speaker 3: i know there's certain numbers that if you, run you,
- 12:37Speaker 3: know if you're a running, back you're, Worse you run
- 12:39Speaker 3: worse at a four or, five you're probably not gonna
- 12:41Speaker 3: get drafted from that.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Team but he's this is where tape. Is greg just
- 12:44Speaker 2: broke down to me his athletic testing measurables were not
- 12:48Speaker 2: what you would ideally, want, yep, Overall but you, know
- 12:53Speaker 2: this guy gains. YARDS i mean ninety of his carries
- 12:56Speaker 2: this year and he had two hundred and fifty one
- 12:58Speaker 2: of them gained yards. Positives SO i mean he's he's
- 13:04Speaker 2: very rarely gets tackled in the backfield because of that
- 13:06Speaker 2: twitchy lower. Half so, again now you have to decide
- 13:10Speaker 2: what he is for your. Team he's gonna get. DRAFTED
- 13:14Speaker 2: i don't think he's gonna get drafted in the you,
- 13:16Speaker 2: know top fifty or sixty at, him but he's going
- 13:18Speaker 2: to get. Drafted but it's it's you, know he's one
- 13:21Speaker 2: of those. Guys if he gets DRAFTED i don't want
- 13:23Speaker 2: to say as an, afterthought BECAUSE i don't think teams
- 13:25Speaker 2: draft as an. Afterthought but if he gets drafted in
- 13:28Speaker 2: the fifth or sixth round on a team that you
- 13:30Speaker 2: know doesn't really need, him let's, say but they just
- 13:32Speaker 2: happen to like his, tape he could be cut from that,
- 13:35Speaker 2: team no. Problem but if he gets drafted by a
- 13:37Speaker 2: team that has an understanding, of, hey this is what
- 13:39Speaker 2: this guy, is we we have a way we think
- 13:42Speaker 2: we can use him, effectively then you could see, him you,
- 13:45Speaker 2: know be a, factor and he's not going to be you,
- 13:48Speaker 2: know as a rookie's not carrying two hundred fifty. Times you,
- 13:50Speaker 2: know we're not saying he's going to step in and
- 13:52Speaker 2: be a feature, back but he's got traits as a. Runner.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Greg let's go back To Penn state now and talk
- 13:57Speaker 1: about Kateron. Allen, yeah parent contrast With Nick singleton because
- 14:00Speaker 1: they were used different ways and they were both very
- 14:03Speaker 1: effective at how they were.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Used see, Now kate Tron. Allen you, know we talked
- 14:08Speaker 2: About Taylor. Green somebody's gonna really Like kate Tron allen
- 14:11Speaker 2: because just the way he. Runs now you know what he. Is,
- 14:14Speaker 2: okay you know that you're not drafting him or playing
- 14:17Speaker 2: him because, man this guy can take it to the.
- 14:19Speaker 2: House that's not why you'd be Drafting kate Tron. Allen
- 14:22Speaker 2: but he's. Big he's five or eleven plus he's two.
- 14:25Speaker 2: SIXTEEN i, mean he's got, again depending on how you
- 14:30Speaker 2: want to run your.
- 14:31Speaker 3: Think of, this think Of.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Seattle, okay think Of. Seattle you, KNOW i know it's
- 14:36Speaker 2: a different coach now with McDonald, there and you, know
- 14:38Speaker 2: then the whole. Thing But John schneider is the guy
- 14:40Speaker 2: that's been. There you, know you think Of Chris carson And,
- 14:44Speaker 2: seattle you, Know Kate Tron. Allen depending on what you
- 14:47Speaker 2: want in your, offense he could be that. GUY i,
- 14:50Speaker 2: mean he's a, tough, competitive determined. Runner he's got really good.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Vision he's got that sort of which seems like an,
- 14:57Speaker 2: enigma but that desire company their, patients but then decisiveness
- 15:02Speaker 2: when he sees the. Whole he can work effectively in
- 15:04Speaker 2: both zone and gap. Schemes he's a little deceptive with
- 15:08Speaker 2: the short area burst it's pretty. Good he's, physical he's,
- 15:11Speaker 2: tough he's got good contact. BALANCE i watched him last
- 15:15Speaker 2: year as well too and this, year AND i came
- 15:18Speaker 2: away with the idea that this guy's got the look
- 15:20Speaker 2: and feel of AN nfl, back and depending on the
- 15:22Speaker 2: offensive philosophy and, scheme he could be the. Foundation he
- 15:26Speaker 2: could be the guy, That, hey K Tron allen is
- 15:29Speaker 2: the guy we're going to start, with because you know,
- 15:30Speaker 2: what when it's blocked for, three this guy gets. Six
- 15:33Speaker 2: and he's the kind of guy that we can stay
- 15:37Speaker 2: on schedule with Kateron. Allen we know he's not going
- 15:39Speaker 2: to take it to the, house and we're okay with,
- 15:41Speaker 2: that but we can stay on schedule and expand our.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Playbook think of it that, way, Guys when your back
- 15:48Speaker 2: gets you, know four or five six yards in normal
- 15:50Speaker 2: down in distant situations and keeps you on, schedule the
- 15:55Speaker 2: playbook for the offensive play caller becomes more. Expansive everybody
- 16:00Speaker 2: loves the home run, hitter but if he's not able
- 16:03Speaker 2: to get not Alan i'm talking about generally, now but
- 16:05Speaker 2: if it's either two yards or a home, run you,
- 16:08Speaker 2: know second and eight doesn't expand the. Playbook second and
- 16:11Speaker 2: five expands the, playbook, right interesting stuff and stuff.
- 16:17Speaker 1: You want to go. To Uh seth, McGowan oh, no
- 16:20Speaker 1: you said you. Didn't, okay how About Levian moss From.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Leon MASS i did. Do he's been hurt a lot
- 16:27Speaker 2: and that's the big issue with. Him but he's he's
- 16:30Speaker 2: WHEN i watched him last year when he played more
- 16:32Speaker 2: of the season than he did this. Year you're dealing
- 16:36Speaker 2: with a guy. AGAIN a lot of these guys are not,
- 16:39Speaker 2: big you, know like he's two oh. THREE i mean
- 16:41Speaker 2: that's not, small you, know but you, know you'd love
- 16:45Speaker 2: a lot of these guys to be more in the
- 16:47Speaker 2: two ten to two fifteen range for THE. Nfl but
- 16:51Speaker 2: this guy was was a track guy in high, school
- 16:53Speaker 2: you know In louisiana where there's really good high school
- 16:57Speaker 2: football and fast. Guys so you know he's. There WHEN
- 17:02Speaker 2: i watched, him there was a physical presence to his
- 17:04Speaker 2: running even though he was two oh. Three he had
- 17:06Speaker 2: really good contact, Balance he had natural. Power now this
- 17:10Speaker 2: guy could also grind out, hard tough. Yards he was
- 17:13Speaker 2: a decisive one cut runner in the in the outside
- 17:16Speaker 2: zone scheme that they ran WHEN i watched him in
- 17:18Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Four another guy THAT i don't want to
- 17:22Speaker 2: see is Like singleton because he's not like him as a.
- 17:24Speaker 2: Runner but that sort of had a lost season this.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Year BUT i think if he's, HEALTHY i think there's
- 17:31Speaker 2: something there with this. Kid you, know there's there's. Traits you,
- 17:34Speaker 2: know he could. Be look how many times do we
- 17:36Speaker 2: see running backs in the league and we go that
- 17:39Speaker 2: guy's a fifth round. Pick but you know he's he's
- 17:41Speaker 2: getting meaningful, snaps and he's he's a contributor to the
- 17:44Speaker 2: to the team that he's, on you, know every, Year,
- 17:47Speaker 2: yeah every? Year, marks, Sure, Yeah SO i go ahead at.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Him two years, ago he had an AC l injury
- 17:54Speaker 3: and that To greg's, point he's miss. Time, Yep but
- 17:57Speaker 3: they're guy's late in the. Draft at some point you
- 18:00Speaker 3: just go by the, traits you, go you know, what he's. Healthy,
- 18:02Speaker 3: now he could work in the back of his or,
- 18:04Speaker 3: roster then his work his way.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Up, YEAH i, mean you, know because, look it gets
- 18:09Speaker 2: into a larger, discussion AND i think it's worth just
- 18:12Speaker 2: maybe we're finishing up with this to talk about. Backs you, know,
- 18:15Speaker 2: Obviously Jeremiah love is a great, prospect and some in
- 18:19Speaker 2: this year's draft think he's the number one prospect in the.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Draft you, know he's not a, quarterback but even better
- 18:24Speaker 2: Than mendoza as a pure. Prospect you, know a lot
- 18:27Speaker 2: of People i've Heard Daniel, jeremiah who we all respect,
- 18:30Speaker 2: tremendously Loves Jeremiah, love as DO. I but then you
- 18:34Speaker 2: get into you, know well he's a running, back and
- 18:36Speaker 2: then you get smart people that we respect saying, WELL
- 18:39Speaker 2: i would never draft a running back number, one you,
- 18:42Speaker 2: know in the first, round you, Know and that's that's
- 18:44Speaker 2: a fun, debate BUT i you, know think of it this,
- 18:48Speaker 2: way And adam has spoken about this a thousand, times
- 18:51Speaker 2: and you, know you guys talk to coaches AS i.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Do what are they looking. For they're looking for explosive
- 18:56Speaker 2: plays on. Offense guys that can now in this so
- 19:00Speaker 2: called NEW, nfl guys that can line up anywhere on
- 19:02Speaker 2: your offense and take it to the. House, Okay Jeremiah
- 19:06Speaker 2: love can do, That And i'm not. Blaming i'm not
- 19:08Speaker 2: advocating he should be the. First just talking about. Backs you,
- 19:11Speaker 2: know if you're talking About kate Ron, allen sure you're
- 19:14Speaker 2: not Drafting Kate Roun allen in the first. Round we know.
- 19:16Speaker 2: That But Jeremiah, love you, know just to make a blanket,
- 19:20Speaker 2: STATEMENT i would never take it back in the first.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Round you, know when this guy could be a guy
- 19:25Speaker 2: that you could detach from the, Formation you could throw
- 19:27Speaker 2: it to, him you could create. Mismatches you. Know the
- 19:30Speaker 2: way offensive coordinators think is how CAN i expand my?
- 19:33Speaker 2: Playbook how CAN i do all the stuff THAT i
- 19:35Speaker 2: want to? Do because as soon AS i feel Like
- 19:37Speaker 2: i'm limited my, playbook then all of a, SUDDEN i
- 19:40Speaker 2: can't do things against these defenses that have become so
- 19:43Speaker 2: much more detailed than what they're. Doing so you, know to,
- 19:48Speaker 2: me you can't just make a blanket. STATEMENT i would
- 19:51Speaker 2: never take a running back in the first. Round it
- 19:53Speaker 2: depends on the, individual you, know and there's very few
- 19:57Speaker 2: of them THAT i agree. With there's very, few but you,
- 20:01Speaker 2: know if there is, one you don't want to miss
- 20:03Speaker 2: on them because you have, this you, know this belief
- 20:07Speaker 2: that you can't.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Change, hey if you're like, me you're desensitized to the
- 20:11Speaker 1: dozens of notifications on your phone every. Day but if
- 20:15Speaker 1: that latest ping is from your security, camera ignoring it

- 22:27Speaker 1: UP i love watching the guys who have good. Traits
- 22:30Speaker 1: not necessarily they all have to go all, fast but
- 22:32Speaker 1: they could catch the ball really, well just have good
- 22:35Speaker 1: football trades that go day to early day three and
- 22:39Speaker 1: land on teams that have good functional offenses because they
- 22:41Speaker 1: can step in right away and their trades get put to.
- 22:44Speaker 1: YEARS i mean we see it like Kyleman angai this.
- 22:47Speaker 2: YEAR i mean he just stepped into That bears. Offense
- 22:49Speaker 2: there's a perfect. EXAMPLE i, mean he has a certain
- 22:51Speaker 2: kind of he's a certain kind of runner that he's
- 22:53Speaker 2: very good. At he's a downhill power runner that can
- 22:56Speaker 2: grind out tough. Yards and you know, what there's a
- 22:59Speaker 2: place for that in an. Offense that guy's not necessarily
- 23:02Speaker 2: a first round, pick, obviously but there's a place for.
- 23:04Speaker 2: That BUT i just think, of you, know we've talked
- 23:07Speaker 2: for a number of years with The, eagles just to
- 23:09Speaker 2: come full, circle because you, know we spend a lot
- 23:11Speaker 2: of time with The eagles and we've always talked, about,
- 23:13Speaker 2: gee why don't they use their backs more in the past?
- 23:15Speaker 2: Game and this is no knock on coordinat you, know
- 23:17Speaker 2: we're just talking. Generally and THEN i think back TO
- 23:20Speaker 2: i think it was was At denver this year where
- 23:23Speaker 2: early in the third quarter they Got barkley On singleton
- 23:25Speaker 2: and he caught the forty nine yard. Touchdown if memory serves,
- 23:28Speaker 2: me it just popped into my. Head you, know, YEAH
- 23:30Speaker 2: i think it Was denver because it Was Alex singleton
- 23:32Speaker 2: who was trying to match up to. Him so it Was,
- 23:34Speaker 2: denver you, Know and again that becomes an explosive. Play
- 23:37Speaker 2: Now i'm not saying you're doing that five times a,
- 23:39Speaker 2: game that's not my. Point but if you have a
- 23:41Speaker 2: back that can do Like Kate Tron allen can't do that,
- 23:44Speaker 2: obviously but you, know if you have a back that
- 23:46Speaker 2: can do, that you know that back becomes more than
- 23:49Speaker 2: just oh hand them the. Ball, Right so now it
- 23:51Speaker 2: depends on your offense and your offensive coordinator of how
- 23:53Speaker 2: they want to deploy that back in the context of your.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Offense but if you can do, that you want to
- 24:00Speaker 2: be able to do, that you, know and you, know
- 24:04Speaker 2: so you, know we see what The lions do With,
- 24:05Speaker 2: gibbs we see what The falcons do with With. Robinson
- 24:08Speaker 2: AND i know people probably always, say, oh, yeah but
- 24:10Speaker 2: The falcons. Stink that's not the, point you. Know the
- 24:13Speaker 2: point is what you can do with these players and
- 24:16Speaker 2: how you can deploy.
- 24:17Speaker 3: Them greg And jeff as we close this, Out AND
- 24:21Speaker 3: i Think Bucky irving is the perfect example of how
- 24:26Speaker 3: he's five nine around two hundred oh boy with the. Combine,
- 24:31Speaker 3: okay you're, right even, smaller but yet he's a pretty
- 24:34Speaker 3: darn good. Back so and you Mentioned Kyen williams was
- 24:37Speaker 3: sort of a medical. Rejact people were worried about his.
- 24:39Speaker 3: Body maybe it's because he went to the right coach
- 24:43Speaker 3: and know how to use. Him but there's a place
- 24:45Speaker 3: in the league for guys who were sort of maybe
- 24:47Speaker 3: don't have what you want in, measurables but you have
- 24:50Speaker 3: to go by the tape and see what he could
- 24:51Speaker 3: do at the next.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Level, YEAH i, mean, LOOK i had a great conversation
- 24:55Speaker 2: with THE gm walking back from the combine one. Night
- 24:59Speaker 2: you know a GUY i, know and we just happened
- 25:00Speaker 2: to be right next to one. Another SO i said to,
- 25:03Speaker 2: him you, know, look you've been doing this a long
- 25:05Speaker 2: time and he's highly respected, guy believe. Me AND i,
- 25:08Speaker 2: said what are the things you look for when you're,
- 25:10Speaker 2: evaluating you, know Because i'm trying to. LEARN i try
- 25:13Speaker 2: to learn from EVERYBODY i talk to, them you. Know
- 25:16Speaker 2: and he said two, things he, said the tape and the.
- 25:19Speaker 2: Person he, said all the other, stuff, yeah it's part of,
- 25:23Speaker 2: it but when push comes to, shove it's the tape
- 25:27Speaker 2: and the, person you. Know and he, said he talk
- 25:30Speaker 2: to me about two guys on his. Team he. Said
- 25:32Speaker 2: one guy is twenty four, seven three sixty five, football you.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Know and this, guy by the, way is An All
- 25:38Speaker 2: pro and a great. Player and he. Said the other,
- 25:40Speaker 2: guy he, said is the best athlete on our, team
- 25:43Speaker 2: and that's why we drafted him because of and he
- 25:46Speaker 2: plays a premium. Position the, guy he, said but this
- 25:49Speaker 2: guy would rather smoke weed in the off, season so you,
- 25:51Speaker 2: know but because he's such a great athlete at a premium,
- 25:54Speaker 2: position you, know you, try you hope that the culture
- 25:58Speaker 2: of your locker. Room can you, know can take care of.
- 26:01Speaker 2: It but you, know for the most, part he, said
- 26:03Speaker 2: you're drafting the tape and the.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Person great, Stuff, greg thank you so. Much look forward
- 26:08Speaker 1: to finishing or going through this. Series and as we
