  Speaker 2: Kind enough to break up some segment this week with
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: our crazy schedule, and we'll do one segment today and
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: later on this week with Chris. Chris, I appreciate your
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: movement and flexibility. How are you, sir?
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: I am doing good, just getting I mean closer and closer.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: It's this football season. If you count preseason count book,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: pro and college football is already here in some respect.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Oh it is, for sure. There's no doubt.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Chris over the weekend, a judge in Colorado kind of
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: threw a wrench into the system and said, hey, if
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: you're twenty twenty two entry, we're going to give you
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: another opportunity to come back and play. After everything that's
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: going on in DC with this bill, they're trying to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: get across the floor. We'll see if that happens. I'm
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: still very hesitant about that. But what can you tell
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: us about this? We were talking with David Murray Jean's
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: page Mississippi State affiliate, and I were number one about this.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know that you can transfer place to place.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: It looks like correct me if I'm wrong. If you're
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: caught up on this, you'd have to have been on
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a roster. You can come back to the same team.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: What do we know now?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: As everybody looks around and goes, what are we doing
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: here with you know, twenty eight days to play?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Now, we're going to add a new rule back.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's confusion on top of confusion. You're right on that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, look, I'm all for kids giving
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: in and get an opportunity, but it's becoming a point
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: now our guys are getting the seventh or an eight
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: year it's just hard to hard to really kind of
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: hard to really kind of understand and make any sense
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: of it. But you know the problem is is every
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: time they take something to court, the NCAA is going
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: to lose. So it could just I mean, it's just
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: really they lose every judgment, So anytime someone is going
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: to take it to court, we're going to have basically
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: a ruling that's in favor of the person filing the loss.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: And it leads to these rules and exceptions and circumstances
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: that quite frankly, none of us can figure out and
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: make sense of.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You know, Chris, and somebody said this to me, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: maybe in David earlier. It was somebody in another segment
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: last week, or maybe even off the ear said he
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I never thought about this, said, Hey.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Nobody's talking about the high schools. What is this doing
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: for high school kids?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, we keep talking about we got to give
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: people more eligibility, we got to give an opportunity to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: earn money, every way you want to frame it up.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: What does this do on the.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Back end of this thing for the guys and the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: girls that are trying to get into college.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Nobody's even talking about this.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm thinking it's less opportunities for them because you've
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: got more college opportunities. There's certainly going to be there's
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: a bubble there because you've got a number of them
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: that because they can continue to play for X amount
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: of years, a certain amount of those it's not going
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: to affect anything amongst the top level players, but the
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: next player, it's gonna have a difference. It's gonna have
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: an impact because there's just not enough spots for I'm
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: certainly not at the big time level, you know. There Again,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: it is frustrating because every time we have one of
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: these situations, it further emphasizes the fact that we don't
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: have leadership in college sports. We don't have any way
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: to look at all of the scenarios that could take place,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: all the repercussions, all the unintended consequences, and figure that out.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: We just don't have that. Everybody talks about it. We
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: have a few of us that have been in football
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: that talk about things like that, but nobody with any
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: teeth that can figure these things out. And then it's like, oh, wow,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: look at this, and how do we handle this. I mean,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: it's just it's fly by the seat of your pants,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: and it's just getting more and more frustrating to be
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: a college football fan and observer day in and day out.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: We're visiting with Chris Landry a little earlier on a
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: lin we'll break him up and have him back on
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: later on this week Monday edition of the program. Make
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: sure to subscribe to his show on YouTube, get him
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: on TikTok x, and all the outlets out there, go
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: to Landry football dot com. Chris a league that and
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: we'll come back to some college later on this week
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: when we have a full segment there. Let's go to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the league that does know how to do it, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that's the National Football League that's in practice now.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Camps are open.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: We've got the Hall of Fame game this week. But Chris,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: this thing happens quick for NFL teams to get to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: a fifty three man kind of take us through the
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: next few weeks in the process for everybody in the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: NFL as they have to evaluate cut guys. You may think,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: especially that came in this year, we'll have rosters spots,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: some of them will not kind of take us through
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the next few weeks in the NFL.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, preseason is I know kind of blase
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: that fans are excited about it initially and then on
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: up where that we hate watching it. The games don't count,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: but they matter, and the practices matter. The scrimmages matter
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: because you've got to make good decisions on who you
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: keep on your roster. It's not the front end of
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: your roster, it's the back end of your roster. Well,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: the only way to really know that is to put
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: them through a competitive fire game situation scrimmages as best
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: you can. And so you've got to really expedite this
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: now is we've got best game less time and pads.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: So this to me really as a huge factor and
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: how good you are come November, because the depth of
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: your roster is key. It's the guy that's gonna you think,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: this guy that last defensive back on your roster that
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: might end up being your nickelback or your dinmeback come
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: playoff time well beyond. So these things are really important
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: that you go through the process evaluating every day you
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: have personnel meetings, how guys are doing, how they're developing,
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: how do you see them playing, what can they handle,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: what can't they handle. You've got to combine that with
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: the evaluation of other teams players, players that might get cut.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: That's why preseason again is important, because you got to
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: evaluate other people's roster and try to determine, Hey, players A,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: B and C on our roster, A and B are
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: good enough, but player C is not as good as
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: player X, Y and Z at such and such a team.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: We've got to make this move perhaps if one of
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: those guys get released yet, you know, when do they
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: get released? Is that the final release date? You don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: as much time to get them redder ready. So you've
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: got to really combine how are you going to coach them,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: how are you going to develop them, and as well
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: as just what their playing ability is. And that requires
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: just very intensive study in every rep in practice.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Chris, I don't think and I'm gonna put
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: myself in this, we forget. I mean, if it's a
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: fifty three man roster and we say that all the time,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: well we got to get to our fifty three man
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: that's too deep on offense, too deep on defense. That's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: forty that's you know, that's forty four players plus some
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: special teams guys, an extra quarterback. There's not a lot
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: of room for error. When you start talking about two
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: deep in you know two deep, you don't even really
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: get into a three deep. You do have a what
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: fifteen man practice squad. We're so used to college going well,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you know, Alabama's two three deep and off offensive line,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: two three deep on defensive line.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: NFL is not that way. It is. It is really
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: razor thin when you start talking about roster depth.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: It is. And when the injuries start to happen, you've
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: got to be prepared, not just on your roster, but
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: you have what we call a ready list. Somebody goes down,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: you got to add somebody. Now it's usually bringing somebody
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: up from the practice squad, but it may mean in
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: particularly if you're a contender, that you make a move,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: you make a trade so that you get somebody to
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: replace somebody that got injured. If you feel good about
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: your overall roster. But you always constantly are looking at
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: who's available. We call it a ready list, so that
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: you're ready to go and jump on them and bring
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: them in if they're available. So look you you can
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: always it's important that you study everybody's practice squad too,
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: because you can sign a player off somebody's practice squad
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: and put them on your not on your practice squad,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: but you can put them on your active roster. So
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of moving parts when it comes to
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the evaluation business in the NFL, evaluating NFL teams, the
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: college you know draft process, that's an entire college scouting
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: department that handles that and you work through that through
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: next draft. But the pro personnel department, Boy, this this
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: is a really important time to try to again make
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: sure you fortify the back end of your.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Roster, make sure the game at Landry football dot com,
• 9:47

• 9:49
