  Footballandry Football dot Com. Chris, the Senior Bowl was this weekend. You
• 0:06
  just kind of look at and I know we've talked with you about this,
• 0:09
  so just humor be on the projections from NFL dot com or ESPN and we've
• 0:14
  talked through and we'll do this again about evaluating quarterbacks and players as you move
• 0:18
  into the draft. But how much movement can you make as a quarterback at
• 0:23
  the Senior Bowl? How important is the Senior Bowl? When you look at
• 0:26
  Boonix, Michael Pennick, Spencer Rattler gets the MVP, there's a lot of
• 0:29
  buzz around him, Michael Pratt, Joe Milton, Sam Hartman from Notre Dame,
• 0:33
  Carter Bradley from South Alabama. That week? How important is that week?
• 0:38
  It's important timely. By the way, I also did a post on
• 0:43
  that at Landry Football talking about what we look for because I spent three days
• 0:49
  there last week. It's different than what people think. So at the Senior
• 0:53
  Bowl, here's what really matters. The practices the game. You get the
• 0:58
  tape and we get all the practice state too, But you can go out
• 1:00
  there as a staff, as a scouting staff, and it's a way to
• 1:07
  kind of get there and look at players in an individual sense that you may
• 1:14
  have seen during the season. You may not, but they're put in environments
• 1:18
  that basically expose their individuality. It's completely different than any other game or practice.
• 1:23
  We're trying to make it to where you can evaluate the players individually and
• 1:29
  not collectively as a team. I think it's important in that, particularly for
• 1:36
  smaller college guys, because there's a chance to do things against a better level
• 1:42
  of competition than you've had all year long or your career, even depending on
• 1:47
  where you went to school for three or four years. And I think it
• 1:51
  really kind of showcases their skills. If you play well, I think you
• 1:53
  can help yourself. If you don't, it's understood because it's a hodgepodge of
• 2:01
  you don't have any kind of synchronicity with your opponents, with your with your
• 2:07
  teammates rather because you haven't practiced but two or three practices. So I think
• 2:13
  it can help yourself, not hurt yourself. And I think all it does
• 2:17
  is another piece of the puzzle, another step along the evaluation process. Because
• 2:22
  people look at it now as they think, okay, now it's it's scouting
• 2:25
  season now. No scouting season is twelve months a year, So the biggest,
• 2:30
  most important part is what happened in the fall evaluating guys. This is
• 2:35
  just the time where the coaches on NFL teams who don't get to look at
• 2:39
  players during the NFIT college players during the during the season get their first look
• 2:46
  at them and obviously sometimes can get a little too excited one way or the
• 2:51
  other because maybe they haven't done enough film work. So I think it's important
• 2:55
  you got to temper it and put it in contacts with how the guy played
• 3:00
  throughout his career. But I think smaller college guys that showed that they can
• 3:05
  match up against, you know, higher level guys, I think it's huge
• 3:08
  for those guys.
