  [SPEAKER_00]: Mike is following his son playing basketball all over the state, so they will be back mixed week to start talking about some IU football, but you get first crack at talking about
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: the defending champions, Michelle.
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to believe that they're the defending national champions on the feed of national champions, especially if you're an IU fan, who's lost through decades of disappointment.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've always enjoyed college football.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm really excited for it.
• 1:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know people sit there and ask about basketball, but I'll tell you what, it is different.
• 1:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: When your college has a good football team, football is it.
• 1:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've been in love with Purdue basketball in my life, but when they were good at football in the late 90s, it was definitely something different.
• 1:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Are you, I think?
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: they can become and build off this.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Coach Sig is there if he stays long and says health holds out, he stays there, can keep his assistance for the most part, coordinators.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know that Brian Haynes and Shannon Hannah are probably gonna move on and be head coach or something.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not Haynes may be there until Cincinnati steps down.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a daughter, a young daughter, and I think he loves the way Coach Sig is.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Haynes can go home of an evening.
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's not buried in the film room.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: what you're saying is national championships as far as the I can see the same national championship contender for a long.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's hard.
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will be the first to admit winning a national championship is not a thing.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: We should mention Michelle that we are outdoors that beautiful, tipped in a municipal golf course.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Two nights of a night to not sit outside, so if there's some background noise, that's why.
• 2:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: You and I are gonna go through this year's depth chart and look at what to expect from each unit and what we expect from this team, Michelle, as you fill in here for Grant and Mike.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Greg, I think the one difference you've seen with a magnetic coming in, of course, in IL has something to do with that and being able to find the investors is, how you has depth, they were able, do you look at the injuries, they suffered last year, they overcame those injuries, they had some star players and misgames.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, I'm as part of the season, and I still went 16-0 in the National Championship.
• 3:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So Coach Signetti and his staff have done a good job of finding, not only finding the talent bringing in, continue to develop players and young players and creating depth on the roster, and you're going to win and compete for championships, you've got to be, you've got to have depth.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can't, but guy goes down, you have to have, not just one, you have to have two, because you have to have the second guy,
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: date first guy spot the third guy take the second guy spot again Michelle we are going to talk about more IU football starting next week with our regular IU guys Grant and Mike but I want to just take a quick look at the schedule with you and tell me what jumps out at you as far as where some pitfalls may be what the big games are going to be it starts with North Texas on the
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Howard Western Kentucky first big tin game north western and then you go to Rutgers and Nebraska at home against Ohio State at Michigan and back to back weeks Minnesota home USC at home at Washington and then the old Oakwood bucket at the Lincoln this year.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's start off with the North Texas game.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure everybody, if everybody's aware, but North Texas has a new quarterback as David on Jackson's.
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: So who started his career at IU and he is the younger brother of Trace, Jackson Davis.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: He won't be a stranger to Memorial Stadium.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: y'all just have to understand that you'll be a stranger to that kind of environment though it's in a season opener.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: For those who don't know how you have sold out, then season tickets for the for the season, other parking lots are sold out.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the atmosphere is going to be electric at those football games all year.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: How many games you put on going to?
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like to watch on my TV, you know what I'll have what I'll be doing is I'll have my phone out when I'm watching my great nieces soccer games or my great nephews baseball games on the fall baseball league and then her travel soccer where I'm at.
• 5:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll have that on and be watching how you football.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's what I've done for the last couple of years.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the schedule is definitely their most should be their most challenging schedule.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: especially at the big 10 level.
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: However, what people will understand when you looked six first year and you looked at that schedule and you were playing Michigan and you were playing Washington, the two teams, the play in the national championship the year before, you had Ohio State on it.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was not
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: it wasn't it didn't look like I you would just go through and only lose one game what I like about what six in and I don't know if you've seen it Greg and article where he said that he coaches with a chip on his shoulder and there's something about every team on a schedule he hates is he can use to find a motorway not only him, motorway himself but he's the motorway his coaches and that the team so I just think the man is he's a one of a kind and I'm just
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: two years at IU and again, not an IU fan here, just the host.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: One of the all-time great coaches, you can say that in two years, just what he's done at IU in two years.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it's on, they talk about the lack of five stars, five stars don't always win you.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tyrone, with IU football players, now imagine when he gets his players and what he's going to do, it's in the same.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know, and I know he got some GMU transfers, but what I like about Signetti,
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: key finds the players that fit his system.
• 6:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's not going to go out and overpay.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: He knows what he's got in IL budget.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: He knows his in IL budget isn't as good as Notre Dame's isn't as good as Alabama's or USC's Texas, but he's going to go get the guys at fit that system for him.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then his coaches are going to develop the heck out of these kids.
• 7:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Coach him up.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And of course we have to
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: a new quarterback Josh Hoover will be replacing the Heisman trophy winner and Michelle.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: My years watching college football, I don't know if he's going to be as good a quarterback is Fernando Mendoza, but he's every bit his talent to the quarterback is Fernando Mendoza.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just hope people understand and they don't expect Fernando Fernando is a very compelling unique individual.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah, man, he's just an amazing person.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: He came in and he showed, because he was telling it at Caltube, but he shows what being in the Sanctuary system does, you know, Kurdish work the year before,
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: that system is made to make you even better than good.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Josh Hoover will be fine as long as he makes sure he doesn't feel pressure to compare himself to stats or whatever and I don't think he will.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he is going to be thrilled to finally have a, I know, sorry to see you in New TCU fans, but he's going to be thrilled to finally have a great offensive line in front of him, and he's going to be thrilled to have a good running game to support and then my gosh, they haven't been, she's going to have to throw up to, I still don't think.
• 8:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they're getting more respect, but I don't think people realize just how good that wide receiver room is, again, at IU.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Here you lose, you lose Sarat, you lose Cooper, and you lose Williams.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: But guess what?
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Becker's back, you bring in Nick Marsh from Michigan State who is dynamic.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then you have Tyler Morris is back, you know, he started out transfer from Michigan and got injured in the mids last year.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: David and Chandler, a Lawrence North product, who's a sophomore, who coach SIG is said he's been really, he was real impressed with this spring.
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: You've got another transfer they brought in, Jazz Preston, who from what I've heard is pretty dynamic.
• 9:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: He may be he may end up being like a return guy.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then you have Bond, another guy who caught passes last year, came in.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really talented wide receivers and attention is going to be a tie-dend where it's three freshmen Replacing a really good one.
• 9:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is now Brock's shot is transferred in.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be all right.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Their number two guy folks is Andrew Bucker from Cookmo in the end and he played for the the Wildcats and then You know you have like Terry.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will it will be interesting
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: because you don't, what we've had it tied in the last two years when Horton came in, year one, and then you had Riley, Noah Cowsky.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was huge in their big games, both as a blocker and as it tied in, and you know, he moved up in the draft boards and he, yes, and he's gonna, I think Pittsburgh Steelers, and I think Aaron Rogers coming back to his, he's gonna really enjoy having a Riley, Noah Cowsky.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's the unproven.
• 10:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think you will do as best to make for that.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: But we may see a few more total four.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: We may see more four, possibly five wides on the field at times instead of the tie-in.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: You may all we may see one of the running backs slot in, go in and slot into there and kind of run the same kind of routes.
• 10:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's the other thing.
• 10:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: The running back room again is loaded.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Boston College transfer turbo Richard you have Martin who I thought as the first reading running back was tremendous last year and then you have baby who got or injured early in the year last year.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was, you know, he may have been slated really good during string running but it is a very good third string running back behind what you talked about they're someone proven.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it's on the offensive line, but not really it might be the best of what they returned for of their five starters and they're all there and they had five actually five guys was starting to experience I mean, they're returning for solid starters from last year's offensive, they lost Kugin, they're moving braille and chover to center.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: They brought in the alignment from Wisconsin, I believe, and he is going to slide in at guard, and then you get, he's got the best left tackle in the big tent.
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was the offensive alignment of the unit, the big tent in Carter Smith, and Drew Evans, if, you know, who has really made it back for the playoff from last year at guard, he's really good.
• 11:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then they have the Johnny who started last year and he split time with Khalil Benson there
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: at the end of the season at, uh, right tackle and coming in and that he's also played some guard, then they have a Wilkins, it's a red shirt that got some time last year and another guy that's got some time.
• 12:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, clearly potential to be the best off of his wife.
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, Bob Boast, it might be just because Bob Boast had maybe the best, the best even off the best is one of the top three offensive line coaches in the country.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'll tell you what, I know
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a show we talked about the IU offense, which should be one of the best in the country, but probably not even as goes as defense, which was maybe the main reason they were national championed by us.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, IU's defense is really good at frying at hands.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: one of the best and I know people don't like him and I don't know that if I wasn't an I-U-Fan then I would really like him but I do like his stagger.
• 13:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: His players seem to eat it up and he's just really good and I use gunna defensively that defensive line.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've got depth and they're what Tucker and Lundino just returning right there in the middle.
• 13:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Those boys are really good.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then they brought in the two transfers from Kezen, Kansas State.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to call him Chitty, which is Chitty O'Beyzer.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Toby, oh, Sonnell, Sonnell, and I'm sorry, guys.
• 13:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can hear me see by here's me, and I'm booktering these names.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Your father, Chitty, and Toby.
• 13:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's right.
• 13:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Chitty and Toby.
• 13:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Chitty is real of what he had a lot of high marks, and he was one of the better,
• 13:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: guys in the portal's past wrestlers.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we know how I use defense likes to create chaos and gets to quarterback and pressures them.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's on the line.
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And right behind them is another transfer another name transfer.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: He had to is Josh Burnham smart in there.
• 14:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then you have a Daniel to do wiki.
• 14:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: He started when they went down and when they had that last big injury,
• 14:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: They just replace bodies.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're just so good at that.
• 14:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then of course behind them on the defense is who are the best linebackers in the country.
• 14:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, a lot of already and Isaiah bones, Jones and Jones created a lot of having clashed here.
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to move over and fill eight and Fisher's role and I don't think they'll miss a beat because Jones got they both had a lot of snaps both got in a lot of sacks where they might miss his eight and Fisher just had a tremendous notice for the ball.
• 14:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do think bones Jones kind of has that same nose for the ball.
• 14:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: But John Jones.
• 14:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, well, he's going in Jones gets the green sticker this year, and so and he, the game when he Fisher set out injured in the early and the UCLA game Jones to the green dot, then so he, at least he's had some experience at that.
• 15:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then they have Jeff the singer and Kate and Turner, Kate and Turner had snaps last year on defense.
• 15:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have the Rylan Gandhi behind him.
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the biggest question more people have is that secondary.
• 15:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: got a couple of really good pieces for sure.
• 15:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and Pharaoh.
• 15:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: And to be honest, Pharaoh really put up better numbers than more did last year.
• 15:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, more don't give it wrong.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: More was important.
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: And of course, we all know,
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: about the Angela Ponds, that he's good.
• 15:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: He would be tough to replace.
• 15:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: But you know, you have what they did was they went out and they brought in transfers to do it.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Harris from Penn State, AJ Harris, and then you have Preston Zachman also came in as a transfer and then you have,
• 15:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Fire in Baldwin who also got snaps last year in experience and they were really high on him and he was a true freshman last year I look for him to make a step up the way some of these kids do under six programs.
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just think then you have a Jalen Bell in there you have some guys three four star recruits that
• 16:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: aren't going to be behind him.
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, say, we'll tell you, he doesn't like to play a lot of freshmen because the system they run, he just, but if you earn your spot, if you're on the time, you're going to get out there.
• 16:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I, I just really like it.
• 16:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I use finally athletic.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, that was probably the biggest difference in, I use defense from your one to your two-grade was the speed they got faster and more athletic on defense.
• 16:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they have, and they're continuing to do that.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Michelle, we talked about the offense.
• 16:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: We talked about the defense clearly.
• 16:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is one of the top teams in the country.
• 16:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get your expectations for this team here in just a second before we do that.
• 16:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Going to have one of the best kickers in the country, but a lot of it turn over in specialty.
• 17:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Nico Rattichich is just teased.
• 17:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: What has been mystery liable.
• 17:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: PUNTER, I'm all right with.
• 17:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: They brought in really garrers from Hawaii who I think he had phenomenal punny average.
• 17:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was over 40 yards, some around 50.
• 17:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's good.
• 17:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Patrick McTier, we should point out a red shirt, uh, senior who will be the kickoff specialist, the backup, ponder, and the backup kicker.
• 17:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he's going to be available.
• 17:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: He'll probably be the long guy.
• 17:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Last year, I used, uh, the kicker, the kickoff guy was the lounge.
• 17:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: He'll go, got, who kicked 58 yarder and, well, again, the first time they played him out nuts and it was a huge, he'll go the long guy and I think that that is what,
• 17:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maca to you.
• 17:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll do.
• 17:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maca to you.
• 17:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
• 17:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maca to you.
• 17:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Put returners.
• 17:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kick returners.
• 17:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Palomores.
• 17:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Turby Richard.
• 17:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ron Bond, Shaz Preston, the one thing about IU and Signetti, he wants his best players even playing special teams.
• 18:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: People don't realize Charlie Becker was on the kickoff team last year and not, but that's a kickoff return.
• 18:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was going down there and he was making tackles, because he was one of the best athletes on the team and that's what Signal do.
• 18:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's all about mastering.
• 18:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not getting beat, not having weaknesses.
• 18:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Everybody stay tuned for a little bonus.
• 18:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about last year's IU players in the NFL here in just a minute.
• 18:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Last question for the IU report though, Michelle, who's a repeat in 2627.
• 18:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, things have to go right.
• 18:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: And one of the things that has to go right is I don't get me wrong.
• 18:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Grant Wilson, he's got the lot of experience and I think he can run the system.
• 18:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: He can run the system, but I don't know, he won't be able to do all of the things that Joshua ever can do because Hoover is just a, he's an outstanding athlete.
• 19:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if they stay healthy, they'll be in the hunt.
• 19:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's so hard to repeat.
• 19:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would love to see him be back to back.
• 19:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember the last back-to-back national champion in football and when you are the defending national champion and you did go 16 and the big 10 teams like Ohio State and Michigan and their fan bases, they think you're a pastor that hit you and you have a big target on your back.
• 19:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say this, there might be some times I would be worried about that, but I think Coach Shig is going to make them embrace and relish that role of having the target on
• 19:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: improving themselves.
• 19:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: It should be fun.
• 19:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be, it's a great season.
• 19:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, he again, signetti again hinted at the fact that we were, I should say that I, you Memorial Stadium is this going to probably be expanded.
• 19:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that is going to happen bonus time everybody, everything from here is a bonus.
• 19:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it won't be edited, so.
• 20:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I look forward to that.
• 20:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I do.
• 20:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's just exciting.
• 20:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm anxious for the crowds.
• 20:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's great to begin the kickoff.
• 20:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be there for the opening week with more Texas.
• 20:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's a lot.
• 20:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: There is a lot to be excited about this year.
• 20:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's also stuff to be excited about on Sundays, as far as I you could follow those as well.
• 20:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to get your opinion on this.
• 20:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: which of the IU rookies as the biggest impact as a rookies?
• 20:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, here's what I'm here is truthfully.
• 20:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is what I believe.
• 20:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I believe that it's going to be interesting.
• 20:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the Angela Paul is going to have a big impact and we look at, you know, the one thing you can say about the judge and especially with Aaron Guinness, head coach, as secondary is going to be well, coach is going to be good and the Angela Paul's fits, I think, you know, Aaron Glenn, he won and the Angela Paul's, he won the work with him and, oh well, Aaron Glenn, I hope he's.
• 21:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think he's going to, you know, everybody lacks his size, but his hearts are big, and he's good, and I think he can make himself into being one of the top slot corners in the NFL.
• 21:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, and I had this debate on our weekly talk show, our debate prognostication show, which I you played would have the biggest impact in my answer was Elijah Serrat.
• 21:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think Serac can have a big impact, I think he will make it impact.
• 21:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: We talked about him already, though.
• 21:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure it won't be Riley and Noah Kowski.
• 21:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to throw out, I think the Heisman winner.
• 21:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, those are going to, I don't think he's going to start the season starting, but he will be in there.
• 21:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Greg, I know you don't, he is going to be a very successful NFL quarterback.
• 21:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe, but not right away, the Raiders are going to be
• 21:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now he's going to have a tie-in to think they have built.
• 21:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: They had brought in pieces to there are better offensive lines than they were a year ago He was he has a receiver.
• 22:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a tie-in to throw to they'll put in I like their coach.
• 22:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's got the coach is going to coach to Mendoza's strengths and he's an offensive minded coach and I just think that You know, you say in fact, I think Fernando is going to be a positive in fact impacts offensive lines
• 22:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's got better.
• 22:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: The center, they brought in a new center and they brought in two other new pieces in front of him, Greg.
• 22:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Two.
• 22:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: They went five games, I'll be shot.
• 22:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, like, didn't win five games, and he can still have a successful season.
• 22:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think, you know, he's got a running back there again too.
• 22:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a running game.
• 22:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I know Tom Brady has been more invested in bringing the Raider personnel in this year.
• 22:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tom Brady hastal moves.
• 22:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: He has to lose your right, but I mean, he's better.
• 22:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they're better.
• 22:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they're going to be better, but you know what, I'm ready to shoot.
• 22:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sitting now.
• 22:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: The rainers could end up with a better record than the Indianapolis Colts.
• 23:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I doubt that, but it's fine.
• 23:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I feel shy for Cooper, because I really think being in the jet system, he doesn't have much of a chance to have great number.
• 23:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he can, eventually, eventually.
• 23:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say this.
• 23:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't want to see any eye you play over the jets.
• 23:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just don't like the chance, but I really didn't want to see an offensive player go to the jets.
• 23:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ponds was okay because we know defensively they're pretty good, you know, in the secondary, the jets have been.
• 23:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: But offense, oh my gosh, it's just like going into a black hole.
• 23:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's one of the places, one of the teams that you don't, if you're an offense player, you really don't want to get drafted by because they're offensive success sucks.
• 23:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Leave them rounds or another one.
• 23:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: It'll be interesting to see how that changes this year.
• 23:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: But those are two places that if you're a quarterback
• 24:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: If the Brown didn't had skill position players the last five years, they probably would've won.
• 24:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Super Bulls could've lost their teams pretty darn good.
• 24:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, when they had games, they ran in there.
• 24:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're awesome.
• 24:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've lined a bunch of bad dudes.
• 24:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Have no skill players.
• 24:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking forward to keeping track of those IU players on how they do on Sunday's.
• 24:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll be interested to see how many of the guys that they picked up as free agents.
• 24:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you another guy that I think he's going to end up having a successful NFL character who's a new fisher.
• 24:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I see Mark and Ryan's was a linebacker and really good linebacker and he seemed very happy to get fisher.
• 24:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then, Pat Cougan, I think, also, I think he's going to be a guy who's in the NFL 10 years from now.
• 24:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he's ever going to be a great player, but I think 10 years from now, he's going to be in the NFL.
• 24:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, what make him, what's going to be your show?
• 25:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: is because they're football smart.
• 25:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Being there so smart, in-fisher's got a nose for the football and nose for sensing out and mooting out plays and stuff like that, and cooking just reads lines so well.
• 25:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, the guys, I mean, the offensive line of talk.
• 25:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mendoza talked about cooking.
• 25:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: You have a guy like that, just so cerebral.
• 25:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they are both hard workers.
• 25:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I think I use gonna continue to send players to the NFL for a while.
• 25:31
