  Speaker 1: Let's be real, this is what people like to watch
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: with the combine.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like four to nine.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I think four two nine. That was close. That was close.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: That would have been a probably a record probably first
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: round and we're going four six three six three.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So the NFL Scouting Combine is right around the corner.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite experiences last year throughout
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: the whole draft process.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I am super excited about the combine. I think it's
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: such a great experience for us. I love data, I
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: love numbers, and so make it right.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: At my alley.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know what position do we need? Receiver, tied
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: end o line. You're just saying all off some players
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: right now, so we can just play draft off and
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: some guys.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna see what Tyler wants out. Yeah yeah,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: then obviously that I think the field part's fun. It's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a chance for guys to go compete for a quarterback,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: go throw it around with a bunch of the other guys.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: One of the things that you did such a good
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: job of, and something that we've emphasized is your willingness
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and your ability to just go for it and a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: bunch of different opportunities throughout the whole process, you're throwing
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to a bunch of guys that you haven't thrown to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: necessarily before, and that's okay. We always want to see
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you throw it and go compete, and.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I adn't care about one one bad online throw.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: There's a fun one that everyone likes to showcase for you.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So it's okay, I'll.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Good you guys, piece of all the all the puzzle
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: pieces together.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Some some guys, or maybe a lot of people are like,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I don't want to go out there and and it
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: maybe be maybe look bad or maybe be afraid to
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: not have a good time. But I'm like, this is
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: like the NFL Combinele. This is like what you work
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: for your entire career. Why not go out there and
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: just give it your all.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It was literally a week of just NonStop and you
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: went through as well.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: When I was coming out as Andrew Luck and Robert
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Griffin the third, yeah, they were a little bit more
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of a better athlete than I was talented. So unfortunately
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Andrew Luck ran his forty right before my forty and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: so it looked a lot different. Uh so that might
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: not help my you know, draft stock, I was an
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: eighth rounder. There's only seven rounds, but yeah, there's no
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: but I was an eighth rounder, like after what you
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: did in college. That it is shocking. But for some
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: guys it's like life changing money. So you run a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: four to three.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Or whatever.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: But you know, who knows, maybe if you were gonna
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: four or five, you would just snuck into.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe you got a late rounds Saturday.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Piach.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: It was a really good experience, and I think it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: allowed me to kind of see it from the player's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: perspective and again from a coaches perspective. We're just getting
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: data points. We're trying to find comparison. We're trying to find, Okay,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: where's this player fit historically in the league. Now we
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: have what your profile looks like, and now we can
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: kind of compare it to previous guys and see where
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: maybe this may fit. So here we go. We get
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to use co pilot in the Combine app. I'm all
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: have this app, show me combine results for Tyler Shuck.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You ready for this? Give me your height combine.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Six four seven eighths.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Nailed it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Wait, I was like a thoroughbred back then.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I was nineteen. Man, you were ready for the combine
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: running drills, everyone's favorite. This is a let's be real,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: this is what people like to watch with the combine.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Let's let's go through the forty.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like four to nine.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I think four two nine. That was close. That was close.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I would have been a probably a record probably first round. Yeah,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you got some gold shoes out of that. We're going
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: four six three six. Yeah. Here's what's really cool about
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the step. Okay, I can be out there, I'm watching
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you run your forty, and in real time, I get
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: your data compared to all the other guys that are
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a part of this combine, and so that's really cool. Here,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: so we can see, Hey, where does Tyler Stuck finish
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and where does he compare to the rest of the group.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: That one compares a lot of what you did with
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: last year's class. Right now. What this allows us to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: do is we can compare you all the way back
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to twenty fifteen, ten years ago. I guess the fastest
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: quarterback forty. That's twenty fifteen.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Since twenty fifteen, fastest quarterback forty, there's a four to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: three nine in here.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: There's a four nine fastest quarterback.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Did you run that back?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I was close. I think you had to flip the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: three in the nine, so maybe you gotta look closer
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: for me there?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Who is it?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense if.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: You think you're above or below average.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm above average, Shosh or an average? Okay?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Good? Average is four to seven nine?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're you're a on the faster side of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the bard.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Looking at Josh Allen's time throughout the whole draft process,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: and I was like, if I can beat Josh, if
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I get four seven something, four seven four, I like it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I'll be happy.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Speed is above average, right, and you got to show
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that this year, to show that against Tampa a couple
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of other teams with some big time runs, and then
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: obviously it became a big part of what your rookie
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: season looked like. So it was awesome. For your height
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is six four and seven eights above average? Really good? Okay,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: so now we're seeing, hey, you're above average and forty
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you're above average in height hand size, something everyone likes
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to talk about with these quarterbacks this time of year.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Probably slightly above you're.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Really right there? Yeah, it was nine to six is
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the average. So right there.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so just checking boxes.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: We're checking boxes, were accomplishing things. There's stuff we saw
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: on film and now we get stuff to back it off,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: confirm it. Yeah. Yeah, So it's awesome.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: So with a combine coming up, what positions were looking at?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Who are we gonna.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Get trying to get the answers to the test right
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: now to what we can divulge.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: We want guys who have been really productive in college,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: right but then we need to project them to the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: NFL and make sure you know, this is the best
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of the best. We'll be looking you know, for you
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to skill position guys. We'll get some get some offensive
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: line depth, add it. And so certainly, uh, you know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I can't leave fail you out, Sally would if we
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: don't talk about the defense.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: So also the fun part is like I feel like
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: our our roster.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Right now and all I got, I mean, I love everybody,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: and I feel like we got all the pieces that
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: we need. But you can get some guys that possibly
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: can you know, possibly contribute right away.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: We have an awesome group. I feel like I'm fortunate
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to my first year as ahead football coach to be
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: around a bunch of really good guys. And obviously our
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: season is a challenge. Earlier in the year we didn't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: win enough games, so our guys kept going and so
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: for us to finish the way we did, I feel
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: like it gave us a lot of juice, a lot
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of energy moving forward. And this about adding pieces to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the to the puzzling. Yeah. I think for me, with
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the combine and the evolution of just technology in general.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: You know, you probably had a little bit more pen
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and paper days just writing down.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Well that guy run.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Even the way we install and you know, coach the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: game now it's it's a little bit different everything was.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: You know, you get a book of printed paper and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you take your notes on that, and you'd have these
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: notebooks you just carry everywhere. Now, I mean I pretty
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: much live off the tablet, you know, as a coach.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Now as we're at the combine, we get the results
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: in real time and they are available to us, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: so we can begin that process soon.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just answer the question right there. I'm gonna wait,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: wait till meetings afterwards. Yeah, so it'll be interesting, Yeah, fun.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Thanks for helping me kind of understand the whole process
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: is pretty cool.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm fired up to go out there. And get
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a few more Saints. Just do it.
