00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.279
Welcome back to it Broncos Country tonight. Benjamin O. Albright, Nick Ferguson,

2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:06.759
Grant Smith here with you back from
the NFL Combine. Had a good

3
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.919
time out there. I talk about
about that. Cobby is still going allbro

4
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:15.080
on the events and all that kind
of stuff. Now, we had Nate

5
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:18.239
Wiggins running four to two seven or
four two nine, excuse me, four

6
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.920
two nine smoking, smoking, fastest
thing cooking. Of course, he popped

7
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.960
a groin or hip flex or something
during that run. But he did run

8
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:27.960
a four two nine at the at
the combine. But you know what,

9
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:32.000
I always used to tea he's a
champ about that because he used to pull

10
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.119
his hamstring or tweak his hamstring a
lot. And I was like, you

11
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.880
know what that only did he tweak
his hamstring or do he tweak his hamstring?

12
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:40.600
Well, why you give me air
quotes. I don't even know what

13
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.759
that means. That means week his
hamstring. I'm done with practice for today,

14
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.799
So my hamstring has been tweaked.
You know what, I'm experiencing lower

15
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.240
back pain. Now, I would
say you're wrong. It could have been

16
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.920
a combination of both. But I
would always tell him, man, that

17
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.880
only happens to those uber fast guys. I was like, you don't see

18
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.399
John and I pulling hamstrings? No, you know, so hey, it's

19
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.120
one of those byproducts of like being
being a cheatah and known as though the

20
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.159
cheat is one of the fastest animals
on the planet. But they're going to

21
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.439
hold their speed for a short period
of time. And the one thing I

22
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.680
hear when I hear guys run fast
forties, all that means is that you

23
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.959
just have the foot speed to catch
up. Hell you beat, That's all

24
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.439
that means. I mean, that
is one way to look at it.

25
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.439
I look at it, you know, especially when we have you know,

26
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.359
like defensive tackles running the forty and
I'm like, you know, what's the

27
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.680
last time a defensive tackle ran forty
yards? Shelby Harris's chased down Tyreek Hilt

28
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.519
Like, I mean, well,
first of all, it reminds me back

29
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.480
to bum philis to have the conditioning
girls or whatever. Eral Campbell or not

30
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.879
real Cambell. What's his name that
Eric Dickerson, I think it was whatever

31
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.239
it was, No Earl Campbell,
you Campbada And he said, you know,

32
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.280
they failed a one mile conditioning test
or whatever, and he'sai. Well,

33
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:49.120
I guess if it's third of a
mile, I won't have it too

34
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:57.719
exactly. Well, does this be
totally honest about this man? I mean,

35
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.000
if you are a D line in
the great once again, you look

36
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.920
at the split. You want that
guy, uh to be able to show

37
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.840
that he has quick explosion out of
his stance. That's great. But if

38
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.599
you have four guys across your D
line, and I know it sounds great,

39
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.120
if those guys are running like a
four six or four five, that

40
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.240
means that you expect to get gashed
on every single play because they always in

41
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:27.280
Chase Mote. Yeah. By the
way, Terry and Arnold widely considered one

42
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:32.319
of the best corners in this class, was over four to five. Well,

43
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.360
okay, let me tell the honest. Now, there's some guys who

44
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:40.400
are more quicker than fast, right, we do, we do? There's

45
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.840
usually there's usually a distinctive feature about
those guys. Nick, I don't know

46
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.280
what you're talking about. I don't
know what he's talking about. I understand

47
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.319
some guys are more quicker than fast. Uh huh right, right, So

48
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.120
wet a lot of receivers like that, real uh? Wes Welker, Yes,

49
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.759
as many corners, not as many
corners. You get slot receiver types,

50
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.520
but we can't have quarterbacks. But
that's the stuff, yeah, because

51
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.800
here's what you're trying to evaluate.
If a guy runs a forty, does

52
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.400
he play with that sable speed?
Because we know that players have an opportunity

53
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.479
to train is just do good track
fast football. There you And that's why

54
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.439
the right, that's why the GPS
sensors and that kind of data is so

55
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.080
valuable now and teams harvest that.
They're not really looking at forty times much

56
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.719
anymore because everybody harvests the GPS data
and looks at how fast somebody is on

57
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.400
the field and pads. Yes,
that's the only thing that matters. Because

58
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.120
I've been around a lot of guys
who were fast as far as the three

59
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:38.080
cones drew the forty yard gass because
they were track guys, especially in high

60
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.960
school and college. So they are
built and they know how to pass that

61
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.560
specific test. But when you turn
on the tape, that guy may have

62
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.080
run a four too at the combine, but he's running a four to six

63
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.680
on tape. Something's not matching up. So you're asking yourself, okay,

64
00:03:54.719 --> 00:04:00.680
well, which one is the true
guy, is it the guy that was

65
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.479
a weekend a workout warrior rather,
and he built himself into this point where

66
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:09.319
he could run the fast forty Because
we're not seeing replicated on the field.

67
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.719
That's what we have to be.
We have to take these forty times and

68
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.560
I know we ooh and ah,
well, we had to take them sometimes

69
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.079
with a grain of salt and kind
of see if we could match them up

70
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.560
with the film. Right. I
think one of the greatest examples of that

71
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.639
is Jerry Rice. Right, four
six four seven one forty was I thought

72
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.759
it was four six four seven to
one, which, by the way,

73
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:32.319
which to put that in perspective,
would have ranked dead last for every linebacker

74
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.759
at the Combine last year. If
they did the simulcast video, he would

75
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.319
be like, really really in the
back. He would be way way in

76
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.240
the back. Just don't throw the
slant. Well, I'm just throwing the

77
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.879
slang. But Jerry Rice obviously had
decent speed. He obviously had pull away

78
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.959
speed. And it's not like everybody
in the league was just slower back then.

79
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.680
I mean, the game is fast
now and there are a lot of

80
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.079
fast guys now, but it's not
like everybody was. You know that there

81
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.360
was there was plenty of I mean, Darryl Green was. I'm just saying

82
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.399
that guy was probably faster than anybody
playing the game to day. There were

83
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.160
plenty of guys back then that were
fast. Okay, he was fast and

84
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:10.920
not in his thirties. Yeah,
Henry Ellert was a guy who was fast

85
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.160
in his late thirties. That's as
God given speed man. That was.

86
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.519
I mean just saying like, there
are plenty of guys like you know we

87
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.680
have. Somebody was talking about this
on the radio. I listened to it

88
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.360
when we were in uber in India
and I heard it and the guy was

89
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.279
talking about, Yeah, we we
had this problem. We have this arrogance

90
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.639
in our current generation where we presume
that previous generations weren't as smart as us

91
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.720
just because we have technological capabilities that
they didn't, which oftentimes I would say

92
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.000
is the opposite of the case,
because they were finding more creative ways to

93
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.680
circumvent their problems because they didn't have
the convenience right. But we do the

94
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.480
same thing with football. We have
this inherent arrogance where we assume that we're

95
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.040
bigger, stronger, and faster now
and because of nutrition, there is some

96
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.560
truth to that, right, because
of the new nutrition and the optimization of

97
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.360
the body, all the stuff that
we do now, there's some truth to

98
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.040
that. The the reality is those
guys back then, we're pretty big and

99
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.360
fast too. Yeah, and they
were doing it without the updated advances and

100
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:05.560
technology. You think about the shoes, from the aerodynamic gear that you wear

101
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:10.759
that's supposed to grip closer to your
body and get to win. Those guys

102
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.680
didn't have that. So for me, I know when we look at guys

103
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.959
who are coming out now, remember
John Ross, I was gonna use him

104
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.839
as an example. I'll never forget
when he when he and I was like,

105
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.439
man, this dude can't play though, like I watched him. I

106
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.680
was like, I would absolutely have
him on my four by one team,

107
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.319
but that's not what you had.
But I'm not there's no you know,

108
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.759
I'm absolutely gonna draft this guy in
my Madden League because he's gonna rub I

109
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.079
can have him run straight lines down
the field. But I've watched the tape.

110
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.759
But see that's what the late Al
Davis, that's what he wanted.

111
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:44.199
He wanted those. The Raiders track
team was phenomenal. The Raiders football team

112
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.240
stunk. The Raiders track team you
know, was win an Olympic gold.

113
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.639
But this once again, this is
why when you are evaluating talent, make

114
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:57.199
sure that you fine tune exactly what
you're looking for. I know we typically

115
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:02.720
think about the forties and the bitch
press as benchmarks and player evaluation, but

116
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.480
you have to peel back layers to
go a little deeper than that, because

117
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.920
there are certain wide receivers who are
straight line guys. Like when you think

118
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:14.319
about DK maykhef he blew up the
combine, big massive guy. I mean,

119
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.000
yes, but he is definitely a
straight line guy in the hips.

120
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:23.720
Even now I think DK is in
it going into his sixty year maybe something

121
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.079
like that. He still doesn't know
how to run every route on the route

122
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.000
treet where he has to sink his
heels and get right to cut. He

123
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.839
ain't that con He's not put him
on the deep over because it's rounded out,

124
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.800
and you know, they put him
on the fly and they put him

125
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.160
on like a surrounded out post,
you know, kind of round. They'll

126
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.639
put him on those routes because you
know he's I mean, he's just not

127
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.279
as quick twitch. You know,
he used to differ in the hips when

128
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.000
he's a massive human being. He's
ridiculously built with nobody facus. I'm insanely

129
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.959
jealous, but I'm not mad at
him. I mean, right, but

130
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.519
if you look at it from a
defensive standpoint, you were telling your guys,

131
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.439
Okay, well we're gonna send on
some of his routes because he's not

132
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.360
going to you know, those in
breaking routes, and we know exactly what

133
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.720
he wants to do. All right. He's gonna run the go route,

134
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.360
He's probably gonna run maybe the post
route. And if he runs a dig,

135
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.279
rock jump it right now because you
know he's going to top chop,

136
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.240
top chop chop before he gets into
that break, right, Like, Yeah,

137
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.959
we got DK out there. We're
probably running either you know, bang

138
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.079
eight, bang nine screen or deep
over like probably you might have him on

139
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.680
the dig, like you said,
but you know what, you know what

140
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.160
you're getting if he's doing that,
right, you know. So, I

141
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:30.560
mean, it's it's it's it's more
than just your straight line speed time on

142
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.720
a forty yard And that's why this
GPS data they use is One thing it

143
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.000
was great about being out there is
I didn't hear anything about that. Stupid

144
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.679
s two test. You know,
the wondering if this is a replacement,

145
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.200
it's the predictor of all predictors.
And then c J. Stroud scores the

146
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.440
lowest on it and goes out there
and smokes competition. Now do you think

147
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:52.080
that was all because of the c
J. Stroud situation and more agents are

148
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.559
telling their players not to participate in
that aspect of the evaluation. I think

149
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.960
it was because the data got leaked
on c J. Stroud and you had

150
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.720
it a glaring example of why we
don't want the data leaked. And then

151
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.600
you know, like athletes first is
having all their classes not take him,

152
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.120
refuse to take him. So I
mean, you know I that test,

153
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.639
like what is that telling me?
You know, because it certainly wasn't a

154
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.840
predicted last I've got the scores,
I've got the data. But Kirk Cousins,

155
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.559
I think he's doing the promo right
now where he swears by it.

156
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:31.120
Yeah, well a championship again exactly
in the indication that the test actually works.

157
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.039
I mean, Primetime Games is he
won. Kirk Cousins puts up the

158
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.960
stand like Kirk Cousins is a fan
like that. I know the machine.

159
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.200
I know this because it was fantasy
quarter That was the name of your fantasy

160
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.159
team against cousins. Yes, yes, And how did that work out for

161
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.240
you? Well, he got hurt
in the middle of the year, thank

162
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.559
you. There it is. And
then then Ryan got a chance to do

163
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.600
take a victory lap over you a
kind of he may have kind of walking.

164
00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:00.360
There was a little celebrate. Okay, it was a struck. Yeah,

165
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.960
I was the regular season champ with
the most points. And then the

166
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:09.080
playoffs happened, and it said and
it hurts, yes, you know speak

167
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.399
of Jerry Rice. By the way, his son Brendan Rice. Yeah,

168
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.799
the combine. Yes, made a
joke about him beating his dad's forty times.

169
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.360
He appreciated that. You see Caleb
Williams crashing his presser. Camelin Win's

170
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.519
course was his quarterback at usc You
got that, you got sound right?

171
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:30.519
Yeah? I got a question.
How did the house photo Jr? Son?

172
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.480
I have another question after man,
it feels better to be a teammate

173
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.279
of Caleb Williams, right, all
right, right. My second question is

174
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.679
I'm coming back to this guy.
Why should they drive was a fantasy player?

175
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.240
Should you be a wide receiver,
barn you know, should you be

176
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.600
a flex player. You know me
you well, we have forty five catches

177
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:56.879
in tilta yeah, something like that. Man had a pretty damn good quarterback.

178
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:05.000
You never nice to have that.
I thought it was funny, Caleb

179
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.639
Williams kind of you know, kind
of going over there to help his help

180
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.960
his dude out. I thought it
was good energy. Caleb Williams's presser got

181
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.360
off to a weird start when some
guy we went to that audio grant the

182
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.639
first question if not I figured,
but some guy from a fantasy football website

183
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.519
that I never a never heard of
the site and be never heard of the

184
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.320
guy and as one of the five
thousand people credentialed for this comes in hot

185
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.320
well on Caleb Williams with this,
Are you afraid to compete? How do

186
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.720
you respond to people say that you're
worried to be compared side by side with

187
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:43.159
your peers in medicals, measurements and
workouts. Are you afraid to be measured

188
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.879
against this guy one on one?
Is that why you're not doing things?

189
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.720
No, not doing things? Others
A decision me and my team, my

190
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.240
family, and it comes down to
that. I mean. Caleb was graceful

191
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.480
in his answer. You could see
the expression on his face if you had

192
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:01.679
the video where he was incredulous.
But yeah, some guy from some fantasy

193
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.240
football website just just first question comes
in fire, you're afraid to compete in

194
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.240
the rambling whatever? All the rest
of that was, which is funny because

195
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.440
on Twitter he was like celebrating that
he'd ask this tough question of Caleb Williams

196
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.879
whatever, Like the guy was competing
at two different schools, Like what do

197
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.559
you what are you saying? Well, you know what? Sometimes that that

198
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:28.080
happens, and are the business that
we're now it's you know, the hot

199
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.720
take or the shot jot take because
you're trying to do something that you're hoping

200
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:39.639
that we'll row that player up to
make them say something that now you you

201
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:46.919
could say that you created an emotional
response from this particular player and now you

202
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.399
got the sound on the bike that
you wanted. But Caleb being as prepared

203
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.080
as any prospect to answer question,
it was quick and to the point.

204
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:03.639
And I know they're there as members
of the broadcast media. Sometimes you ask

205
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.279
questions and I've been around individuals who
would get upset with the player when the

206
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.080
player doesn't answer the way that they
want the player to answer. And I

207
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.360
would often. Hell, I even
had to do this at the Broncos practice

208
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.440
and because I was walking away from
one of the pressers and I can hear

209
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.720
some guys walking behind me talking about
a particular player what I call his name

210
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.639
out But I stopped and I say, listen, you guys do realize that

211
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.519
one you guys have a job to
ask questions, but players have a job

212
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:35.240
where they don't have to answer the
way that you want them to answer.

213
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:41.519
And sometimes when players choose to answer
the way they want to the media people

214
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.000
asking the question, they get so
offended they take it and make it personal.

215
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.360
Well, yeah, I mean to
a degree, I think, and

216
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.559
I've seen a lot of irresponsible media
out there. I think it's more about

217
00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:00.279
bad media trying to get a headline, trying to get people pushed people to

218
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.559
their collumns by getting you know,
and that's kind of what this is.

219
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.399
This guy was trying to make himself
the center of attention. Colemighty, isn't

220
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.480
there for fantasy football guy to become
a star? Asking a question? And

221
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.399
oh, by the way, if
he posted the video and like gladly took

222
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.720
credit for it, and he is
getting absolutely roasted by everyone alive, absolutely

223
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.519
right, like this is the dumbest, yankest guy's credentials. I mean,

224
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.679
I quote tweeted. I was like, I'm not sure. I was trying

225
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:28.559
to be nice about it at first
because I was like, maybe this guy's

226
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.440
just inexperienced, but then I read
some of the replies and he's in there

227
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.120
like very it was very obvious he
was doing this for attention, and I

228
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.159
was like, I can't think of
a more abrasive way to ask this question,

229
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.440
and does it even need to be
asked? No, it didn't need

230
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:50.480
to be asked. But he took
it an opportunity in that moment to make

231
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:56.080
that interview about him. But once
again, he didn't really pull off what

232
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:03.279
he was trying to pull off because
Caleb answered the question and the quickest way

233
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.519
to do it. It's almost like
a great Papo bitch or Bill Belichick type

234
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.600
of way. Right, I'm going
to give you the answer I want to

235
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:15.200
give you, and then I'm going
to move on and at at after that

236
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:20.960
point, it's almost like the guy
kind of cowered back and kind of melted

237
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.440
into the crowd because his question didn't
hit home the way that he anticipated to.

238
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.960
He thought he was I'm tough jerdo
guy, you know in a knee

239
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:37.000
Andrew just some dork asking, you
know, asking a ridiculous question. We

240
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.559
did it now? Yes, we
gotta hit a break. Broncus cuts any

241
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.039
night back after this, Welcome back
to it, Broncos Country tonight. Benjamin

242
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.120
ol Brighten, Nick Ferguson, Grant
Smith here with you. I just kept

243
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.200
pausing just to see if his eyes
would drop from the television screen. I

244
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.480
assume you're watching the is that the
Celtics are Celtics. It's a hard see

245
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:02.399
herd see Celtics take on the maps. Uh, which the Boston is running

246
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:03.600
away with that? I know Coach
Pegana'll be happy about that. By the

247
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:08.320
way, taught the coach earlier today. Yes, did you Mike from us

248
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.440
to be on the Yes, we
got six pack here in a second.

249
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.000
I taught to coach earlier today.
And Uh, he's he's gonna pop on

250
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.039
either either pop back at studio or
or do some phone stuff. He's gotta

251
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:23.000
get permission from commanders. But don't
say this. He was out, he

252
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.200
was doing something. I think he
was the car dealership. I had somebody,

253
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.240
a long time listener like came up
to him. We was talking about

254
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.639
he's a long time listener, koa, all this kind of stuff. Love

255
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:36.039
to have a coach on said the
uh. Uh said he loved having his

256
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:37.600
segments, the stories he told,
the interactions, we had, all the

257
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.120
kind stuff. And I turned to
I was telling, I was telling.

258
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:41.039
I was like, look, dude, you got a career in this when

259
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.279
you're you know, when you're done. You know, it's like there's some

260
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:47.600
people that can't can't do this.
He's he's got a career in this.

261
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.080
When he's done, he's he's,
Uh, he's pretty sidid. We always

262
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.720
enjoyed that. The tax line always
enjoys it. And uh, I know

263
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.759
everybody's witching it, wishing coach Pagano
a ton of success. Uh with uh

264
00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:59.639
with the Washington Commanders where you got
a job for those of you that know.

265
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:02.440
But he is gonna he's gonna try
and pop back on the show.

266
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:04.680
So just because he got a job, you know, back there with the

267
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:08.119
with the Commanders, doesnt mean doesn't
mean we can't. We're we'll try and

268
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.359
pump some intel out of him.
Who's going number two. I tried to

269
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.279
sweat him for this. He was
not like, do you think he's gonna

270
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.039
tell you that if he gonna tell
me that. But I was like,

271
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:19.839
you know, I was doing the
jokey, you know, like I was

272
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.759
doing the you were hoping, Oh
I was, well, I was.

273
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.880
I didn't expect I'll put it that
way. I was doing a little bit.

274
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:27.160
You know, we said text him
last night when we were we're getting

275
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:32.440
Battalian food last night and uh we
had a long time, long time agent,

276
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:33.599
uh sitting right next to you know, me and Ryan. We just

277
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.920
kind of chat it up whatever I'm
texting coaching. I was like trying to

278
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.279
sweat him a little bit for it. You know, you guys have the

279
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:47.440
interview process going, you guys sebenty
standing out of giving. I mean,

280
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:49.640
I'll read you the quote. It's
it's it's phenomenal. I'm trying to let

281
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.519
me find it here. It's it's
great because he was like, uh something

282
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.480
about uh like like everybody had good
the interviews were solid, really spoke well

283
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:03.079
and smart. That sounded like a
that's the best player. And I was

284
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:04.480
a coach, you've got a future. You've got a future in being KG.

285
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.920
You're absolutely lot. Let's get to
the six petre. It's time for

286
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:14.920
the NFL sixth pat I'm gonna trade
a lot of beer insight and insight information

287
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.400
you can't find anywhere else. No. Six, the top six NFL headline,

288
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:25.240
what well nick le Broncos might be
priced out of our guy, Jared

289
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:27.079
Verse. I don't know if you've
been paying attention to the combine workouts,

290
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.279
but the Florida State defensive lineman who
was an All American last two years,

291
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:36.240
showing that he has the athletic profile
of an elite NFL pass rusher. He

292
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:41.119
ran a four to five eight forty
at the combine that would be the fastest

293
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:42.880
forty of any player in the last
ten years, who also had arms that

294
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:47.519
were at least thirty three inches long
and put up at least forty reps on

295
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:51.640
the bench at two twenty five.
Basically a rare blend of size, speed,

296
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.160
and strength. Miles Garrett is the
only other person to have that kind

297
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:57.880
of triangle of numbers as far as
that kind of stuff goes talking to reporters

298
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:02.119
versus you think he has a talent
to be a first overall pick. So

299
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:03.960
not lacking in confidence. Same quote, I think I'm a great player.

300
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.720
I think that's ultimately for the team
to decide. I think I'm a great

301
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.359
player. I'm example of WI everything
showed everything I have on the field.

302
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.039
Like I said, best player should
be picked first, I definitely think I

303
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.960
should be considered. Obviously, he's
not gonna go first overall, but our

304
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.160
got Jared Verse. We could be
priced out. But are we still on

305
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.480
board with that as a potential pick
at twelve? Well? Yeah, if

306
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.759
he is there, I mean I
would be on board for it. And

307
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.000
I mean, did you expect for
him to say anything less than the fact

308
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.519
that he feels as though he is
first overall? Types of talent. I've

309
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.559
been talking about Jared Ver since what
December whatever was. I've been talking about

310
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.559
the guy like that was my dude
him and a lot too. I'm like,

311
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:41.480
the Broncos need a pass rush.
I'm good with you one of the

312
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.079
two both up tested well. Jared
Verse tested out of a planet, but

313
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:49.519
well, I would like to see
the Broncos had another impact as Russeller is

314
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.880
like Verse, but I know it's
not going to happen. But to have

315
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.559
a guy like that run that fast
and that can't be Miles Garrett. I

316
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:00.839
mean, he's triangle numbers or Miles
Garret numbers. That's that's insane. The

317
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:06.279
only thing that could be worse is
if Verse end up going to a team

318
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.400
in the ANFC, not the Denver
Bronco. I know that's what I'm saying.

319
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.319
I don't want him to go to
the Chargers of Raiders, yes,

320
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:14.279
or Kansas City, oh wow,
but he's not gonna make it there.

321
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.880
But we do have to worry about
the other two. And it hurts,

322
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:26.000
don't do it two. Speaking of
the Commanders, they are parting ways with

323
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.640
quite a few players or Charles Lennon
though he was going to parting ways with

324
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.319
Logan Thomas the tight end as well. Thomas spent the last four season with

325
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.400
the Commanders, posted to seventy two
catches in his first season with Washington,

326
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.000
limited to six games in twenty twenty
one by a knee injury, retired to

327
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.000
play thirty games over the last two
seasons, one hundred and eighty four catches,

328
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:47.359
sixteen hundred and eighty four yards,
fourteen touchdowns over his entire run with

329
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:49.480
the team. That opens six and
a half million in cap space for the

330
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:56.720
Washington Commanders. Should the Broncos be
interested in bringing former quarterback Logan Thomas in

331
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:00.680
as a pass catching weapon at the
tight end position at this particular point,

332
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:06.759
with the low level of production from
that particular position, I mean, you

333
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.359
got to keep the tires on every
single individual. I mean it's not just

334
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:15.599
focusing on the quarterback position as a
must need. You need someone that can

335
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.319
help you be an inline blocker,
but someone also who can be a threat

336
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.440
in the passing game. Now,
don't get me wrong, Logan Thomas,

337
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:27.079
former quarterback, switched the tight end. He's no Rob Dernikowski, but he

338
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:32.240
could be much better than what the
Broncos have had around here. So hey,

339
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.519
listen, you do your due diligence
on every single player. It's not

340
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:40.160
like the Broncos are coming off with
Super Bowl. I will say this talking

341
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.880
to George Peyton privately right before we
did our exclusive interview, and you can

342
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:47.160
find that up at Broncos Country Night
dot com slash podcast. I believe it's

343
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:48.519
up on the kiwis all that kind
of stuff. But Ryan Edwards and I

344
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.839
had an exclusive interview with George Payton. I'll tell you before all that there

345
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.039
were two positions he really mentioned the
Broncos being in on, and that was

346
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.799
tight end a corner and he wasn't
referring to just the draft either. He's

347
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.960
like, we're looking at you know, we're evaluating those areas. I would

348
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:08.759
not be opposed to maybe making a
financial you know me, Donal, I'll

349
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.839
be talking about non free agent type
stuff. Yes, I'd make a financial

350
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.039
outlayer Loki Thomas. I don't think
I would pay him. I bring him

351
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.160
in. Well, this is I
think it makes sense, especially if you

352
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.039
do it clears medicals. Well,
he clears the medical He kind of gives

353
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:25.880
you someone of a Jimmy Graham type
large body pass catching. We also saw

354
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.759
when the Commanders came here to Dimmer
last year. Locus Helm has had a

355
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:36.160
touchdown. Yeah, now, Kim
at be more vertical passing yards for whoever's

356
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.240
at the quarterback position. Possibly,
but you gotta try it. Let me

357
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.480
say this because everybody says I hate
Sean Payton, which is stupid, but

358
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.319
I will say this, I've been
critical love Sean Payton. Has had four

359
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.480
all pro seasons out of tight ends, Joffre Cook being one of them.

360
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:55.559
He had Jeremy Shockey yep, Cook
and two with Jimmy Graham yep. And

361
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:59.599
I will tell you that the tight
end gets work in that offense. So

362
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.480
if you you are a talented tight
end, you can produce in this offense.

363
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:04.519
That's so again why I'm saying,
let's go out, let's invest in

364
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:11.119
that position. This offseason three,
Cam Newton apologizes for his role in the

365
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:17.720
viral fight that he was on the
internet video and fight involving form NFL VP

366
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:21.599
Cam Newton recently with viral Newton holding
his own in the blender of fists and

367
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:26.119
elbows while wearing something that looks like
a Harry Potter sorting hat or something that

368
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.519
a dark wing with Duck the villain
might wear. In the latest edition of

369
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.839
the fourth and One podcast, Cam
apologized for his role, saying, there's

370
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.440
no excuse for what happened. It
should not have been called for simple and

371
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.319
with that, I apologize to anybody
affected. Cam said, the incident started

372
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.079
with words and it should have amed
with words. I can't sit up there

373
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:45.960
and say, bro, you got
to be bigger than that, and then

374
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.640
all of a sudden I do.
That just goes to show you how you

375
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.359
got to stay in control of your
emotions. Could have got worse this.

376
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.799
Cam acknowledge he do his best to
restrain himself from attacking in phonics is mainly

377
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:57.960
on defending himself. You watch a
fight again, it was basically three on

378
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:00.079
one, and the dude still got
on even though he was trying to defend

379
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.920
himself. I think that if Cam
had really fought back one of those kids,

380
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:08.079
we'd probably got their their butts beat. And certainly I saw a video

381
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.839
one guy who did get popped in
the mouth, and you know that kind

382
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.000
of stuff. Uh said, Is
that good Enoughice can't kids? That contrition?

383
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.559
Is that acknowledging what he did?
Yeah, it is. It doesn't

384
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.519
erase the optics and the image itself. But at some point, like you

385
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.519
said, I mean, after having
a couple of days to think about it,

386
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.000
he decided, hey, listen,
he can't really go after the guys

387
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:37.200
for how they responded. Only thing
that he can do is kind of ask

388
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.079
for forgiveness for what he did.
Listen, I've been in that situation before

389
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.160
where something kind of went sideways,
and instead of focusing on what the other

390
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.759
person might have said, I said, listen, I'm calling you to just

391
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.720
kind of hash this out because I
want to apologize for my part of it.

392
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:57.559
But Cam was right. That situation
could have ended up much worse than

393
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:02.480
what happened. As far as the
physic cuffs, he could have turned into

394
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:07.440
something much more dangerous than we've seen
happen in the line of these situations.

395
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.079
Go back to Leaf brother. Yeah, Dallas, that's the first thing that

396
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.759
comes to mind for Mkole. Hardman
is denying that he leaked game plans to

397
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:22.400
opposing teams during his brief tenure with
the Jets. Hardin played in five games

398
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.519
the Jets last season, but as
otherwise plays entire career with the Chiefs,

399
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:27.880
was believed by some of the Jets
organization, including Sauce Gardner, to have

400
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:33.200
leaked game plans to opposing teams during
his time with the Jets. Today,

401
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.000
Hartman wrote on social media that he
did no such things. Say quote,

402
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.599
there were false All Caps accusations made
about me and All Caps my character,

403
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:42.640
Harbin wrote, to set the record
straight, I have never would never leave

404
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.480
game plans to another team. I've
never been a person to give an opponent

405
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.319
and upper hand on always want to
win, no matter the circumstances. Harmon's

406
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:52.359
agent had previously denied that Harmon leaked
game plans, but some of the Jets

407
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.400
don't believe in denial and think he
told both the Chiefs and the Eagles.

408
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:00.319
What was coming before those teams played
the Jets. He's approaching free agents and

409
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.559
wants any team interested in signing him
to hear his denial loud and clear.

410
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.839
Hardman, also accidentally out of Kansas
City, is tampering when he admitted that

411
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.079
he told both Pat Mahomes and Andy
Reid, hey, come get me while

412
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.920
he was still with the Jets.
Do we believe McCole Hartman's denial that he

413
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.359
do we believe elite game plans or
do we believe the denial? No?

414
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.359
I don't believe elaked game plans.
I know he was a very very disgrunt

415
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.519
to employee. And for the record, a lot of players say that when

416
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.279
you played with a former team,
or you play against a team that you

417
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.839
wouldn't mind joining and your team stinks
it up, yeah, you may say,

418
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.799
hey, come get me. How
is that even tampering. It's not

419
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.119
like we talked about contracts or anything
of that magnitude. But no, I

420
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.279
for me, when I think about
the fact you're talking about the Chiefs and

421
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:49.079
the Eagles, these are both games
that the Jets wont So if they won

422
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:53.279
those games, how did micole Harmon
do something that was wrong, because if

423
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:57.519
I'm not mistaken, in some of
those games, Zach Wilson played some of

424
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:02.160
his best freaking football. Yeah,
so maybe he was leaking. Maybe they

425
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:06.920
were slipping the coole. The wrong
game play was the mole and really they

426
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:11.240
were using him as the double mole
exactly. Yeah, that was one of

427
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:12.119
those things. I was going to
get to it. They lost both those

428
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:14.880
games, So what does it even
matter at the end of the day,

429
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:17.680
you know, and he's gone now
anyway, So I mean, you know

430
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.480
what, Also, I'll say this
suit you still have some bitterness from Jets

431
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:23.920
players. Consider the fact that Michole
Harlem's on that team. He left and

432
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.000
he was traded back to Kansas City
and they won a Super Bowl. So

433
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:32.359
sometimes as hard as a teammate to
watch someone else have success, and apparently

434
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:36.519
that's the case was Sauth Gardner and
the other DV form the New York Jets,

435
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:38.599
especially when you don't like the guy. It was interesting by the way

436
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:44.079
that several players came out and said
made derogatory comments, one of them saying

437
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.039
that, yeah, I guess McCole
was just salty that he got beat up

438
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:51.440
by UDFA after getting paid to come
in here as a as a free agent

439
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:53.200
star. So I was like,
there's some bad blood there. At the

440
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:59.119
end of the day. Who has
the last card nor the Trump card?

441
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:02.839
And that is MCA Harmon Because guess
what we are saying, Yes, I

442
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:07.000
have a rig. Yes, was
that the sombek kissed the rain? You

443
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:14.559
need to kiss the ring remix.
Five gambling charges against Iowa State athletes will

444
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:22.240
be dismissed due to mobile tracking overreach
that Iowa prosecutors moved to dismiss criminally gambling

445
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.920
charges against various Iowa State players because
authorities went too far in tracking their use

447
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:36.720
wrote in a court filing that the
Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation exceeded the scope

448
00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:41.079
of permitted use of tracking software that
detected open mobile betting apps at Iowa State

449
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.079
athletic facilities. Due to this newly
discovered evidence, the state no longer believes

450
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:49.839
further prosecution in the matter is in
the interest of judgments. Basically, they

451
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:53.200
lost because the tracking software went too
far. Earlier in the week, attorneys

452
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:57.680
for Iowa sweight football players Isaiah Lee
jor El Bronc and Broncos Jujasa Rique had

453
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:02.240
made a motion to suppress that's the
digital evidence. They argued that a special

454
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:06.480
agent for the Division of Criminal Investigation
violated the agency's limited use agreement with geo

455
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:11.480
fencing tracking software and that no probable
cause existed for the searches. They argue

456
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:17.000
correctly. Because the prosecution folded,
the Wasrik is eligible to reapply for reinstatement

457
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.960
on July first. Now, these
guys were all still guilty of gambling on

458
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:25.759
the games. They got off on
a technicality here because the tracking software that

459
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:29.160
picked up that they had done it
was overreaching its scope. How do you

460
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.640
feel about how does the tracking overreach
the scope? It's designed for a unique

461
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:41.880
purpose to catch guys in certain circles
doing certain things based on the device itself.

462
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:48.000
So the fact of saying, hey, listen, these guys actually gambled

463
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.480
on games, but off through a
technicality. Will that change the perception of

464
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:59.759
other people in the public. Probably
not. The tracking software can pinpoint down

465
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:03.519
to where you're at in the moment, So if you open the app while

466
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.039
you're on team facilities, whether that's
college or the pros, it's gonna pick

467
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.680
it up. I design is supposed
to do that. Apparently there's some legal

468
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:17.440
legal jargon in the in the apparently
advice I'm talking about the minority report.

469
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:22.400
Now, is that saying that there
were psychics involved here? Not saying it.

470
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:25.559
Let have to look into that.
But I'm saying that the tracking offer

471
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:29.079
that they use exceeded the scope of
what it is permitted to do. Apparently,

472
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:33.319
and they got off on a technicality
that doesn't even make sense. It

473
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:40.039
doesn't beyond the scope or whatever it's
supposed to do. It's by design.

474
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:41.960
And I'm with you on that.
I need more specifics on the story.

475
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:45.039
I just I picked this one up, and I guess I should have gone

476
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.440
a little further in this. I'll
call and get a quote to figure out

477
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:48.640
exactly what it was. Tomorrow we
can. We can get to that tomorrow

478
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.920
or tomorrow Saturday, We'll do it
Monday. I'll figure it out. That's

479
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:59.079
very interesting. Six Cowboys owner Jerry
Joe said he plans to go quote all

480
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:03.480
in the offseason in an effort to
improve his team give the various cap challenges

481
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.359
the Cowboys face. The meaning of
all in is not exactly clear. During

482
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.319
his annual scouting Combine Tour bus media
session with reporters covering the team, he

483
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.920
offered a largely meaningless response, and
your definition of what all in and mine

484
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:18.880
might not be the same thing.
I'm trying to win games this year with

485
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:22.720
my decisions, so I'm all in
this year. He later added undrafted quarterbacks

486
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.519
to the future. I would be
reluctant to do that this year. That's

487
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:29.880
an example, use our first pick
for a quarterback this year for the future.

488
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:32.720
If you had an opportunity there,
you are at twenty four and the

489
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:34.519
greatest thing since ice cream be sitting
there, I'd be reluctant to do that

490
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:41.680
this year. It's called all in
this year, all in this year?

491
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:48.440
Does that mean that to now he's
going to improve is edge rush opposite Michael

492
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.559
Parson? Because they definitely need upgrade
there, No, Kyle Vanderesh, I

493
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:57.079
mean they need upgrade there. But
also does that mean he's going to go

494
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:01.920
all in with that Prasco, Well, they're gonna pay Dak that's the thing.

495
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:05.839
I mean, that's that's gonna get
a sixty plus million dollars per year

496
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:07.960
deal out of Dallas. They've got
some other things to do. They did

497
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:12.119
pick up the their option on Trey
Lance. It only cost four and a

498
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:14.279
half million. It's not a fifth
year option, it's just a team option.

499
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:16.880
It was four and a half million, didn't cost him anything. So

500
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:20.799
that's you know, they've got that. But I don't think they think Trey

501
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:24.240
Lance is the guy right now,
and obviously Dak Prescott certainly is. So

502
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:28.599
I don't know what all in means. I know for a fact that Jerry

503
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:30.519
wants to win now. I know
he wants one more before he passes.

504
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:36.400
I know he desperately wants one more
before he passes, and so I think

505
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.880
that he believes that continuity was maybe
the best way to get there rather than

506
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:44.559
reshuffle it and bring in Bill Belichick. But I think if they don't get

507
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.720
there this year, they've got everything. Maybe all in from Jerry's standpoint,

508
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:55.880
means going after either Josh Jacobs,
Dereck Henry or a guy within your own

509
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:02.039
division in Saquon Barkie. Maybe that's
it, because I mean the Dallas Cowboys

510
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:06.400
have been missing that they moved on
from Ezekiel Elier. You thinking Tony Poullack

511
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:08.640
was going to be that guy,
but Paulack quickly found out it was better

512
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:13.119
being number two than being number one. Yeah, and the Cowboys have done

513
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:15.000
that before. I mean, Felix
was a phenomenal number two. Felix Jones

514
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.359
when they had him, phenomenal number
two wasn't really cut out to be the

515
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:24.160
lead guy. Because you imagine the
Cowboys with Cdee Lamb Dak Prescott and they

516
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:28.119
have either of the three running backs
that I just named, Yeah, you

517
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:30.359
put you put Josh Jacobs or Saquon
back there. And I know, I

518
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:34.359
know Saquon was Houston, but I
don't know that they want him. Broncos

519
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:35.559
Country the Night rolls on after this
