• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Now, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, yes, for sure.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: It was hitting us right in the face. There was
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: a player. There's two players I saw in short yesterday
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: and they were both from Iowa. They were Hawk guys.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: Jenning's dunker. Yeah, and he looks like a Jennings dunker.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: If you get a chance watch him and practice, well,
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: I'll be your eyes on him. He's probably the most
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: impressive physically physically impressive.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Guy saw yesterday. Imagine like a refrigerator with a red mullet.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, beautiful red mullet. Too, beautiful red bull. It's like
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: an auburn mullet. Oh, it's great. Had shorts on, yeah,
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: not even good shorts either.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't even know how good of a player
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: he really is. It's great, he's great. Put draft you,
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: he's great. He looks the part.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: So yeah, but we're here and look this morning, I
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: know listeners y'all probably were worried about it since yesterday.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: We got coffee, coffee before the show started. I even
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: got two coffee, So yeah, we're going to go. Yesterday
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: it was a little bit of a a little bit
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: of train wreck when it came to coffee.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: But we're here. Yeah, we we both got distracted multiple
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: times from thinking coffee was being set out. They didn't
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: have it. They have it this morning, but you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: I brought coffee just in case. Thank you. You have
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: hotel coffee yep. It looks like just in case. Yep.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: So we're okay, we're going to be fully caffeinated and
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: ready to.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Go for the next door chev Well, right here we
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: are on radio row at the Mobile Convention Center, right
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: next to the entrance. We just saw all the players
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: filing in. They're headed behind the black curtain here head
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: of the meetings. And yeah, we talked to some of
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: the coaches yesterday. They have I think a combined of
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: nine hours of meeting time this week, which you're like, oh,
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: there's a lot of meeting time. That is not a
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: lot of meeting time at all, you think about it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: I'm trying, I'm trying to think like an a normal week,
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: I mean twenty minimum.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Well, you talk, you think about let's just say it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: the meeting start today. They probably started yesterday. Let's just
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: say Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. That's a little over two
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: hours a day. That is not a lot of meating,
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: especially when you're trying to learn a new offense. So
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: it truly is about the physical skill set of all
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: these players, the one on one battles. What happens in
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: practice when you get nine hours of practice or nine
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: hours of meetings and I think eight hours on the field,
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: seven or eight hours on the field throughout a week.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: It truly is about the practices.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: The game is fun. It doesn't really matter.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: As far as an evaluation standpoint, they are going to get.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: Their evaluation will start today when practices start, because yeah, okay,
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: if you can't learn the offense or you might mess up,
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: you go in. So you should have gone out. You
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: zig when you should have had quarterback misses, a read
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: or didn't couldn't remember what the the protection adjustment call was. Whatever.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: But like these quarterbacks, these receivers, these linemen, these dbs,
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: their evaluation starts today and we are fired up. There
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: will be two practices this afternoon. Of course, hopefully it'll
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: warm up a little bit. Yesterday would have been a
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: quarterbacks nightmare with cold weathers. But the wind, the wind
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: is cutting through.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you were talking about that yesterday, so for our listeners,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: because I think it was a mistake. But y'all never
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: let me throw a half back pass in a game. Sure,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: so I'm going to throw it to you. You were
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: you said yesterday as we were walking back from lunch,
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: you said, this is a quarterback's worst nightmare.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Like what, Yeah, well, let me just win win in general, right,
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: you have to throw the ball a little bit different.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: You have to grip the ball a little bit different.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Your pre pass position has to be a little different,
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: because you don't you want that nose to be pointed
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: down a little bit when you're throwing in the wind
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: so you can cut through Normally, if you're a right
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: handed passer, if you throw a perfect spiral, that it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: going to be nose up and pointed to the right
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: a little bit. Remember as a kid, when I was
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: training like the right mechanics, I used to throw at
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: a throw.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: A basketball goal.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: So you have to you have the orange square, so
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: the goal was as a right handed quarterback, if you
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: hit the top right corner of the orange square, it'll
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: go in every time with a good spiral because it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: like and that creates a nose up pass, creates a
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: really soft pass to catch.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Nose down passes.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: If you see like these nose down quarterbacks, it's harder
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: passes to catch and like most of the times of
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: the nose down quarterback, your completion percentage will be lower.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the balls always kind of going away from you.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: It feels like as a receiver.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there, you got to think like if you have
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: to like drop your hands to catch the nose down,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: if you catching it up, it's just a softer pass
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: to catch well.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: In the wind, you have to cut a little.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Bit more through the wind, so you have to try
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: to get that nose down a little bit, which makes
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: it a harder pass to throw. Uh, And it's hard
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: to cut through the wind. It's hard to do that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: It's harder pass to catch as well, but then like
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: with the cold, the cold air as well, it dries
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: out your hands, so you're constantly like licking, licking your fingers.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: You used to see Drew Brees like in the dome
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: doing it. But if you have to do it, handwarmers
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: are essential because they create this little oven if you
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: if you do it right with the handwarmers. You got
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: to keep your hand warmers.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: It creates a little sweat right in your hands, little tack.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: You have to do that, and it's it's really, of.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: Course to keep your hands warm, but really to keep
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: them wet.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: A little bit, like you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: I didn't want to say you don't want to Yeah, okay,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: it's okay, that's what you wanted to say. Yeah, that
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: keeps it oist. That didn't feel like a lot. I mean,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: I feel, just just seven things to try to keep
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: your and in uh the right state of mind.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: I know that, but it's but yeah, it's the Yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: so the cold and the wind makes makes all the.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Difference in the world. Yeah, the wind is yeah. I
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: wouldn't say. I mean I'm looking I don't know if
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: you can look at the treado there sir, on that
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: building right there that that flag is it's whippen pretty good.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Well, you know it's we're on the Bay Stadium is
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: not near the baby. I'm looking at the I'm looking
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: at the tips of these trees.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: We're good. Yeah, and uh, you know the whole reason
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: we're obviously rooting for our guy, garretts Smyer. So it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: you know, we're paying attention to that.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: I don't know if we're gonna get him on the
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: show today or what day of the week we'll get
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: him on. We'll we'll certainly have a gear now spire
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: on on the show this week. We ran into him
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: yesterday leaving the convention Center. He seemed like he was
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: in good spirits, right.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Or role he's probably and Drew Fabian and the executive
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: director of the Panini Senior Ball is going to join
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: us at seven point thirty. That's at least a plan
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: right now. And I'll ask him his question because like
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: the buzz around this game even before we got here,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: but certainly since we've been here, is no player has
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: more to gain than Garrett Nesmeyer with a good week
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: here at Mobile. The quarterback class is not very deep.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: He is somebody that certainly has the talent to be
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: you know, I don't know where the range is, maybe
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: top ninety pick. He certainly before the year we were
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: talking about him as a potential top Yeah. Before the year.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: It's like, all right, Fia has a bad year, second
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: third round, good year, We're we're looking at.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: The number one guy, right, Yes, So like that's there,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: And so teams still remember that. They talk about it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: They're like, yeah, okay, the tape, But like we have
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: to take in the totality of everything. Offensive coordinator got fired,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: head coach got fired, Like the offense was not clicking
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: when the backup came in. Yep, all right, playing out
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: with an injury, yeah, playing through an injury that everybody
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: knew about and knows how hard it is to throw
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: the ball. So and those aren't excuses. Those are just
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: that's I'm telling you. That's how scouts have told me
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: they are evaluating Garrett Neusmeyer. And then we go back
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: to the junior tape. There's a lot of good in there, right,
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: And in the scout that I was talking to, you said,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: every team's gonna think they can get that good out. Yeah,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: just like look, I mean, every head coach like when
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: there's a first round pick that doesn't work out somewhere,
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: that coach is like, oh, if I had him, like
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: he'd be a pro bowler, Like I can get that. Well,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: not that that means anything anymore, but I can get
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: that guy to the best of his ability. There's gonna
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: be coaches that think, oh, I can get junior yearns
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Meyer because he was in a bad system. Right, he's
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: gonna be healthy. I can get that out of him,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: and they're gonna take him if he has a good
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: week here mobile Well, most coachesn't.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Then if I had former players and if there's anything
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: you know about former players there pretty cocky, So they
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: I would.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Say, we all have an ego, but you have to
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: have one. Yeah, you have to have a professional football player.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and if you and if there's any question, because
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: it was everything was pretty mum about that Garrett Nessmyer
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: injury is like, what exactly was it?
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: What?
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: Like I remember in training camp, Oh, the knee got
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: rolled like got hit or rolled up on.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: He's got a he's got a knee brace on. My god,
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: he's over maybe uh yeah, a little foreshadow in there.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: I don't know any reporting on that one. Uh.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: And then the oblique situation or and that's the one.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Like what it like? What is that like?
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: There was never really details or specifics at least that
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: I heard that were like, what is it? How do
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: you fix it? What is it really affecting? Well, we
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: saw it, if we saw it effected. It affected his mechanics.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: It affected the amount of torque that he could put
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: on the pass and step forward. Because the you take
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: the same passes he threw this year compared to the
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: same pass as they.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Threw last year, it just looked different. He didn't get
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: the torque on it.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: He tried, He just could not create that force and
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: get his weight going forward too many back, too many wait,
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: going backwards throws uh. And then it's just when something
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: goes right. As a quarterback or anything, you start pressing,
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: you try, you start you stop trying to make plays,
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: and you start trying to not make mistakes.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: And that's what he did. And then that's when you
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: make more mistakes.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: You start seeing those Sam Darnold ghosts that he saw
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: a couple of years. You start not being able to
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: move in the pocket, you start looking down at the
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: rush and it snowballs and it's snowballed on Garrett, That'smier
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: this year, and it's snowball on everybody for the LSU offense.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: So absolutely does he have the most approved in our eyes?
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Certainly?
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's got the most to gain from this week.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: So I can't wait. Tell I don't it's not just us,
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: Like I do want our listeners to know that, Like
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: this isn't just LSU homer shows. Yeah, we just had
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: a Florida Gayo Homers say that Andy Stables, Yeah, shout
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: out to Andy Woks on three does a great job.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: He said the same thing. In scouts that I've talked
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: to have said the same thing, like, and it doesn't
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: matter which team, like Drew Fabianij, I'm sure we'll say
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: pretty much the same thing. They who runs this game?
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: Because of where his draft stock was before last year
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: to kind of where it fell to, like where there
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: was times where you were wondering is he going to
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: be draftable because the bad habits that you create and
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: you're trying to do all the things that you had
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: to go through, like you just kind of laid out there.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: So were they a slight quarterback class when nobody really
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: knows who the number two behind Fernando Mendoza. Is is
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: it ty Simpson? Chambliss could maybe be, but he wants
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: to go play in college.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Well, he looked like ty Simpson's not here at this game. Yeah,
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: so that does tell you that somebody has given him
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: some advice about where they think he's going. So that
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: that should be all you need to know about where
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: ty Simpson's going to fall. Maybe not in the draft
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: order because I don't know how many first rounders.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Are in this class.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but where he's going to go in the quarterback list,
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: at least he's got to be. I would think the
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: second guy or the third guy, dependent on what happens
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: with with Trinidad.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Who knows. He did probably start with stuff finding that
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: got good fight Well, yeah, because Drew fa and you
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: did save a spot for tryda Jamus. But now the
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: game started, so like, let's go play in the NFL. Yeah,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: you could go play in the NFL, but he was
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: playing college.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: Kind of the dream, It's kind of what.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: You were before the ultimate goal?
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: What about I got like a guy like Carson back, Like,
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: did you think.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: He would maybe be here? I think he's an interesting option.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: I'm not a pro I'm not a scout. Well, I
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: think of the name Carson back.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: You do have a notebook, though, mouth breathing.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking this is just a guess and I'm basing
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: this off of absolutely nothing.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Round five okay, just because of the blows, ups and downs,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: peaks and valleys, whatever you want to say.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: Well, look, I think this is again, this is a
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: draft class where there's a couple of guys at the top.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: But then I think there's probably there might be this gap. Yeah,
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: like a quarterback drought in this draft, fourth, fifth, sixth round.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: I don't know where it's going to, where he's going
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: to fall, But I don't think he's a He's not
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: a guy that you're going to take right now to
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: be a starter, right, He's guy that I think you
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: taken good back up, maybe turns into a starter when
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: he gets his opportunity.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Can he you know, can he make it worth it?
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: Type of guy?
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: I don't know, And I base that off of absolutely nothing.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: I don't know what the draft stock is. I don't
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: know what scouts are saying. We can certainly ask around,
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: though we're in.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: The right place. We got our ear to the ground. Yeah,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: we do absolutely we're gonna be able to know all
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: the things by the time we get done here. All right,
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: there is multiple LSU players here, and hopefully today the
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: goal is to talk to at least one LSU player.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: Yesterday we had a couple of quarterbacks. We had Joel
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: Thomas actually going to be the head coach for the
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: American team here of the New Orleans Saints' coaching staff there.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: You didn't see him, well, you saw his back, you
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: didn't see his face, but he.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: Gave some great We flipped the desk today, so all
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: of the other people that are tuning in watching on YouTube,
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: did you were doing nothing the talent. We're not going
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: to give anybody the option just to put their butt
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: in the camera.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: Oh that's true. If he stopped by today, like you
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: would have to, he'd have to work for it. Make
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: him stop again. He gave good stuff, just like just okay,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: let's see your face. Yeah. Uh, maybe we can get

• 15:16
  Speaker 5: him yesterday. We'll make him get on camera again today.
• 15:18

• 15:23
  Speaker 5: and throughout the show, like we did yesterday, We're gonna
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: kind of go through. Okay, who do we think like

• 19:04
  Speaker 5: We'll we'll tease it for next segment. You definitely won't
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: google that. Do you think the owner of the bills those?
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah, well Michigan State and then Florida State. Well,
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: I didn't know that. I wouldn't got there.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: No, Okay, maybe I don't read the back of the
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: sports cards.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Well I'll just tave you the pictures. And that's how
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: you know where somebody went to college. I can appreciate it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: What are you talking about. I can appreciate it. Nothing. No,
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: instead of like knowing where they played, Oh I got you.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: I thought you're saying, that's where you know where I
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: went to college. Oh no, I know. We were to
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: college Louisiana State University. It's the only place that you win.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: You didn't go four places. Anyways, any who's the rosters
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: are a little a little bit different than maybe we thought.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: And we still gotta we gotta get comm formation. And
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: so when drew sits down was like in five minutes,
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: because there was initially five LSU players. Now the list
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: is down two three. He did say that they had
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: to change a couple of flights. Yeah, I think one
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: hundred and fifty.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, which is a real pain in the rear.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: And I'm sure it costs a little bit of money
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: to do that. Yeah, And he meant he mentioned that.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: But it's not just players. There's a lot of people
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: trying to cover this game. That have always been this game.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: I know, like our guy Chris Dory, like he right now,
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: he was on flights all day yesterday that just kept
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: getting canceled and canceled and canceled. He was trying to
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: go through Charlotte from Gainsville to Charlotte, Charlotte's to Mobile.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: We did have Andy Staples stopped by before the show.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: We were chatting it up, who also lives in Gainesville,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: and he's like, yeah, I never fly. I always drive
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: to this game because by the time you go from
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: here to there to back.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: You probably have to have from Gainsville to Atlanta, then
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: Atlanta the Pensacola, rent a car and then drive.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: You can get into Mobile too if you wanted to.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: Of course, about the same as I think everybody I've
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: talked to those had they fly, A lot of people have,
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: but also new Eiel flew in Mobile last night. All
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: I got basically Andy was saying Ding's bougie and he
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: just got in a car and made the five and
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: a half hour drive. Yeah, yeah, no doubt.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: Uh, that's that's an obvious move though. Anything five and
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: a half hours.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: It's like it's like Charlos to go down to thirty eight.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, so maybe maybe if it's a you're going somewhere,
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: if the airport's close to you and it's a direct flight,
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: but if you got to connect, yeah, you ain't get anywhere.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Under five hours. No. That's why it like, we would
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: never fly to this had been because it's a three
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: hour drive, but we would have to go from Baton
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Rouge to Atlanta to Mohill or Veton Rouge to Dallas
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: to You got to calculate everything.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: You gotta talk, You got to calculate the drive time
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: to the airport, You got to calculate the time you
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: got to be there before.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: You can't just say, well, it took off.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: At five o'clock and only got there three and a
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: half hours later. Nope, sorry, when did you leave your house?
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: And that's why the New Orleans Saints are so well
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: represented here at the Senior Bowl because they are drivable.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: They're the closest team. And I know this game has
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: talked about moving for a couple of different years, but
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: for the Saints, it is very convenient. And that's why
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: they have seven coaches going to be coaching for the
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: American team. We talked about receiver yesterday for the Saints.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: What other positions do we think maybe, I mean, this
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: is a deep edge.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: We know it's an EDG rusher class, so I think
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: that I mean that is when we go off to
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: practice today, the thing that I'm most excited to watch
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: is one on one routes.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: So so receivers verse dbs.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: And then the quarterback throwing of course, and then one
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: on one pass protection. Yeah, I cannot wait to see
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: these offensive line go against the defensive line. So that's
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: where that's where people. I think those one on one
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: reps is at a position like rusher or offensive tackle.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: I think that's where you can move up some rounds
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: just because, all right, this guy looks the part. I've
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: seen him play, I've seen him do it on film.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: But you don't really know the competition. Well, you get
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: the best on the best here at the Senior Bowl.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: So if you dominate and you come out looking like
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: an alpha like, you're gonna turn some heads. And when
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: they're sitting when you have gms and scouts sitting there
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: on draft day looking at that best available, looking at
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: all the big boards and everything, those one on one
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: reps stick out to you. Certainly, it's not like how
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: you played in the game. It's not like, well he
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: grated out of eighty three at the Senior Bowl game. No,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: it's like, was that guy a dog? Did he whip
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: somebody's tail one on one? So I can't wait to
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: watch that. So yeah, certainly edge rusher for the Saints
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: would be I mean, we've.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Talked about a nauseum like there's.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: Besides quarterback, there's really not a position that you couldn't
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: use a little bit more depth. But certainly edge rusher
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: would make huge difference. Another lockdown corner would be fantastic. Yeah, but.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: You know not what's gonna happen as far as free
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: agency with some guys and Jennings Dunker Lante Taylor falls.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: As far as edge rushers, a couple of names that
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of people will know.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: T J.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: Parker from Clemson somebody's talked about a lot. Logan for
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: new from Utah denied. Dennis Sutton from Penn State is
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: somebody that had a lot of fanfare coming into the season.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: Romelo Height from Texas Tech is also another player that
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: had a really good year and kind of, you know,
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: put his name in front of a lot of college
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: football fans. So those are some edge rushers to pay
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: attention to. I'm going to give you a say, a
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: small school, but he's just a group of six. Guy
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: at dB, you mentioned corner Chris Johnson from San Diego State. Okay,
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: that's somebody to kind of pay attention to. I think
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: he is a really good player, and I'm looking forward
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: to seeing happy a little bit, thank you, looking forward
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: to seeing how he competes here at the Panini Senior Ball.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: So if you're watching practice, look out for Chris Johnson

  Speaker 7: You know, I've got a great staff and that that's
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: part of the thing that people don't really realize that
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: we've got eight full time people, you know, I'm nine,
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: including me, which handled most of the operations piece of it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: And then we've got myself, you know, my director ops,
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: and plus two scouting assistants to handle the you know,
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: the football side. Plus we've got ten area scouts. You
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: can sparkle all over the country and you know, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: I mean and again you don't know that. So again,
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: like I came in and checked on the interviews last
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: night and everything was running smooth, and I was like,
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: I'm out, you know, because I was here from like
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: five already. You know, I was like, hey, it's nine thirty,
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: I'm done, you know.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: And you switched the schedule up a little bit this year. Yeah,
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: so practice is going to be a little bit later
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: than it normally.
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: Was well that end, and you'll find out in about
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: the twenty five minutes the players are going to start interviewing. Yeah,
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: the interviews used to be at night. They were at
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: night last night because there was no practice yesterday. So
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: we had some community service things that we did and
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: which went off really really well, you know, but what
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: I did is doing that, I had to push back practice,
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: which asking the network and asking ESPN in the network,
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: the NFL network, it pushed.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Into primetime, so they were like, let's go.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, because they're going to make more money
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: on the advertising dollars for the you know, the commercials.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: You guys know, you're in media now. So that was
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: that was an issue. You know.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: The issue was that I didn't want these guys to
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: be tied up like they were because they were interview
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: seven o'clock ten thirty every night.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and now they have.
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: The downtime as soon as we get done with the
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: programming after their meal, which is minimal, like it'll be
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: Merrill Lynch, you know, it'll be the you know, the
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: Panini night you know and all that, but they'll be
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: done like about eight thirty eight forty five. I have
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: some downtime be able to recover, they'll be able to
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: go to the training room, they'll be able to take
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: care of the bodies a little bit more, you know.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: And that's what I wanted this to be about. I
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: wanted to be about the player, right, And yeah, we
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: pushed it back, and it also made it to where
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: the community can actually get there. You know, if somebody
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: worked till five, they can at least get an hour
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: of practice right and bring the child and meaning that's
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: something they couldn't do before because practice used to end
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: like at four point thirty. That's it, you know. But
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: then you know the problem, well not the problem. The
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: issue I heard from the agent was that, you know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: the player was like NonStop from like six o'clock all
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: the way to ten thirty, and it.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Was hard on them.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: So I wanted to make it better for them, but
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: it made it better for everybody else too. So I
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: was like, all these guys just walking past.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Going, hey, I got an evening. I can actually go.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: To dinner now.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, you know, normally it's rundown to
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: Joe Cane are Chick fil A and you know, run
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: back over here. But now there's a lot of changes.
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: But I think it benefits everybody.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: I really do.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: You had some logistical challenges, that's probably that's probably the
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: source of having extra cocktail.
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: We monitored I mean, we monitored it so closely. And
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: we were sitting in the office last week, me and
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: Jack and he goes, yeah, he says, supposedly they're getting ice.
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: I said, no, they're getting ice in Dallas. And I said,
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: and I lived there, and I said, we need to
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: get them out now. And so we started on can
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: we get the hotel rooms. That was the biggest piece,
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: you know, because we didn't want to bring them in
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: and have nowhere.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: To put them.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: So we scrambled around, got rooms, you know, did all that,
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: and when it was all said and done, we had
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: about eighty six percent of them in here on Friday,
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: and now we're only missing one player and we're at
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: a full roster. One hundred or one hundred and twenty
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: five flight changes were made, and you know, felt sorry
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: for Jack because he was kind of helping the travel agent.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I was like, dude, you can't do that job too.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: I was like, but he was.
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: He was doing a great job, and you know, and
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: again the logistics were just awful. But got the coaches here,
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: got the players here, and the weather's getting better and better.
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: You know, hang around long enough, Matt, it'll maybe be
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: sixty on Saturday. You never know, doubt here coming off
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: the water, it changes.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: That's right. How many L Shoe guys ended up because
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: I know five initially I think three.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: I think three. Yeah, I think it's I.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: Think the final roster with two receivers, right, and Anderson
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Brown then had nuts.
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and nus because we lost the other ones because
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: of injury.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean and j Hasty and Jack Pieburn, yes.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: Yes, And trust me, if you knew Jack Piburn, you know,
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: and the way he is that he wanted to be
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: here and he was just like, I can't. And again,
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to push anybody, especially if they have
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: some kind of medical issue, because if they come down here,
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: I mean, you can get embarrassed down there.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you know if you're not getting fully healthy.
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's You've seen the guys that you know, hey,
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: maybe in small college guys or maybe been that fringe
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: guy that did get embarrassed down here.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: But there's also.
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: Those guys that elevate themselves through the roof, you know,
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: and I think there's gonna be some of those guys
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: that elevate themselves through the roof down here.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Give me a small college guy. Maybe somebody that's under
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: the radar, because we were actually just talking about it
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: right before you came on. Somebody that you're looking forward
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: to seeing against, you know, power for guys each and
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: every day in practice.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: Probably Ted Hurst, the receiver from Georgia State. I think
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: he'll surprise, you know, the Deming's kid from Steven F.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Austin.
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: You know, him and Malik Muhammad are a lot alike,
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: you know, just different resources, different schools. I mean, you
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: know he's gonna show that he belongs. You know, the
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: Montgomery kid we picked up, you know, from the American Bowl.
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: What was strange story, but a great story. I mean
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: Division one basketball commit, you know, showed out down there
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: and everybody told me, hey, you need to take a
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: peek of this kid. And I mean, because we didn't
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: look at him, ain't gonna like it. I didn't look
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: at him until he was down there. Then I had
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: access to the tape and I was like, yeah, this
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: guy belongs, you know. And I was like, you know again,
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: he didn't play because his Mom.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: You know he was ill.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: You know, he didn't take the basketball scholarship ends going
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: to John Carroll mean Division III school blows it up.
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: I mean, and we'll see. I mean, I think he'll
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: show he belongs and I think people will be really surprised.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: I really do. Trying to think of the other any
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: other ones.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: I was note with Johnson from San Diego State.
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't consider him kind of a sleeper because
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: he's he's actually got some really good tape and and
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: all the personnel people know him, you know, the Steven
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: f kid. I mean, it's like I don't know how
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: he stated Stephen Fan because I would have been a
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: general MANU. Yeah, you're not staying there.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Let's go. Let's go.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: Drew kind up a loaded question here, but all you
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: it's already seven to forty.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: Drew's your coffee, al right.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: So I know that like all the stages that these kids,
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: these kids have to be on, like we talked about
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: it yesterday, like everything that they do from here till
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: next September is about making a football team, and it's
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: all maker. Everything they do is a make or break situation.
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: From how they talk to in these interviews, how do
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: they act in the meeting rooms, how they perform in
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: individuals and one on one team drills. Everything that they
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: do is about not getting cut or not getting so
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: Joel Thomas yesterday, one of the coaches here, coach coach
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: for the New Orleans Saints, kind of said, in these
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: interview processes, of course, we're looking for that one thing
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: that they say that makes them stick out in a
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: good way. We're also looking for the one thing that
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: might make us take somebody else. So of all the
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: things that they do, is there anything that sticks out
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: to you that is might make somebody slide or elevate
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: themselves more?
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: You know, I think that again this is this is
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: the NFL wants this to be part of the process,
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: and it is the draft does start and will be
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: the last time they put in the pads right against
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: the best of the best. That's what they want. They
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: want to see you compete against the best of the best.
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: Bottom line, And like you said, is there if you
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: don't fulfill the pieces of the process, whether it's the interviews,
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: like you said, being with the coaches, being on time,
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: being accountable, being mature, showing you're a professional. You know,
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: if you don't do that, then the check marks go away. Right, Well,
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: they want the check marks, they want the Senior Bowl.
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: They want you to go through the interviews, practice play
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: bam bam bam. Right, they want you to go to
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: the combine bam bam, bam right. Pro dame bam bam bam.
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: When you don't do the process the way the league
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: expects you to, it's gonna throw red flags up. And
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: it's also going to say, and here's the biggest thing
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: to me, how do you prove that you love the game?
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: Because you guys know, you've been in the locker room,
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: you've been in an NFL organization and in that building.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: If you don't love the.
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: Game, the game will I mean the building and the
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: players will eat your ass a live.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: So again, if you can show that you love to play,
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: at least you got a chance, you know. And that's
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: because people and I always the quote, it wasn't a
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: magic you know, answer or answer question or whatever, but
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: I'd ask coaches, does he love to play?
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: And I'd say, can you give me an example? Well,
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: guess what if it took two minutes to figure out example?
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: You know, that was that was no real, you know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: but a coach is never going to say, you know,
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: well he kind of likes it, you know, but they're
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: not going to say that.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: A guy did tell me that a long time ago
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: in scout and he told me, this guy's in for
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: the money and everything else. And guess what he busted,
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: which was nice because I had a contact.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, we went way back. But normally they don't
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: tell you. They don't.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: So to answer your question, the biggest piece is how
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: can I show that I love to play and be
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: a professional, right bottom line? That's that's how simple this is.
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: If you don't go through the process, it hurts you.
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: There are some guys last year that didn't go through
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: the process and did not take it serious, did not
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: do it the right way. And guess what, they kept
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: sliding in the draft because buildings aren't comfortable with guys
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: that they get there every time you go. Or here's
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: the other thing the NFL wants to tell you, No, yeah,
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: they do, they do, and guess what you you let
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: them say no, that's what happens. Then you get cut
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: or you don't even make it there.
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say that's probably like the majority of
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: scout's job is to find reasons not to draft somebody.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, and then if.
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: You find there's somebody that makes it through and he's
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: got no x's near his name, that's when you start
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: getting serious about that.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: We used to we used to say the cleaner the
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: higher you take somebody, the cleaner they have to be, right,
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: And and that's bottom line.
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, and again, I can punch holes in anybody, Okay,
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: But can I punch holes in somebody's character if they
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: got really good character? No, I can punch holes in
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: their game, right, sure, you know. But here's the other thing.
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: I think a lot of players character shows up on tape. Yeah,
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: and people don't grasp that until you watch enough of
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: a player, not highlights, I'm talking about game tape. Yeah,
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: because you know you'll see a guy take a playoff
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: here and there, or you'll see your hair on fire guy.
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: You know, you'll see lot, you'll see that's the first
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: guy in last Guy out.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: You know, you just see it on tape. I mean
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: you can so just like eighteen.
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: Yet if you get an eighteen, guess what, Yeah, you've
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: already proved it.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's perfect for our last question. That's all right,
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: all right, we got about ninety seconds left. Drew the
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: last guy to word, bradn l Shue, Garrett Nesmeyer. It
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: was like a giant week for him. The junior tape
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: is incredible, over four thousand yards in the sec uh,
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: the senior tape played through injury system, didn't work out,
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: did not have the year by any means that he
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: was hoping to have. Does he have the most to gain?
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: Maybe here at this year's game.
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: I would say yes, and just because again here and
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna and I'm gonna throw the media under the
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: bus on this one too.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Wasn't he like the.
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: Second rated quarterback in the draft, whenn't he like mocking
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: like a pick six, seven, eight, whatever, my first round? Okay, Now,
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: all of a sudden, you know he's roadkill. And like
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: you said, I can't unsee what I saw, Like you said,
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: four yards, twenty four touchdowns. I mean, there was no
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: way I was not gonna invite Garrett to this game,
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: right because they didn't protect well, he was hurt. The receivers,
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: you know, the half of them didn't produce like they
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: were supposed to. Couldn't run the ball. I mean, there's
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: so many things that went against him. Well, when you're
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: evaluating a guy, you go, why, you know, why are
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: the why is this happened? Well, he's gonna come down here,
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: and I'm gonna say this flat out.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: The media will be talking about.
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: Him at the end of the week and like, you know,
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: he could possibly get back into the first round, no kidding,
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: no kidding, because the traits are already there. The production
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: was already there, you know. And now it's like, oh, well,
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: you know he got beat up. You know, well they
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: didn't play. Well, yeah, it was it his fault, right,
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: you know, if you watch enough tape you know it's not.
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: But again, a lot of people don't watch tape. They
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: just talk yeah you know. So and again I pride
• 41:18
