00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,359
even though we're not there, I know it is freezing

17
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:04,719
cold in Baton Rouge. I believe it's twenty one degrees

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,040
on your commute to school and work today. Don't worry,

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,959

are in the pain in the elements with you. And

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,719
we're really going to be in the elements later on

22
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:20,120
today when we go to practice, but at least we're

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:26,359
cozy inside here today. There you go off. I'm fine

24
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:28,079
with it if you want. We're still waking up a

25
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:32,319
little bit. Yeah, we are here. Mobile is very cold.

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 6: It's not as wendy as it was yesterday yesterday coming

27
00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:38,200
off that off the bay here because that's this hotel

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,000
or the conventional side of their ass right on the bay.

29
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:42,359
Speaker 5: A lot of a lot of yeah, a lot of

30
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,519
ships being built around here, and Martible Cruiser is going.

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:47,359
It was real windy.

32
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 6: I don't care how tough you are, what part of

33
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:51,680
the country you're from, that wind will get you.

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 5: Now, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, yes, for sure.

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,159
It was hitting us right in the face. There was

36
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:00,239
a player. There's two players I saw in short yesterday

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,000
and they were both from Iowa. They were Hawk guys.

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,640
Jenning's dunker. Yeah, and he looks like a Jennings dunker.

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 6: If you get a chance watch him and practice, well,

40
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,719
I'll be your eyes on him. He's probably the most

41
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:15,000
impressive physically physically impressive.

42
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 5: Guy saw yesterday. Imagine like a refrigerator with a red mullet.

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, beautiful red mullet. Too, beautiful red bull. It's like

44
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,599
an auburn mullet. Oh, it's great. Had shorts on, yeah,

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,719
not even good shorts either.

46
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:28,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't even know how good of a player

47
00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:31,360
he really is. It's great, he's great. Put draft you,

48
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,800
he's great. He looks the part.

49
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,439
Speaker 6: So yeah, but we're here and look this morning, I

50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,800
know listeners y'all probably were worried about it since yesterday.

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,080
We got coffee, coffee before the show started. I even

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,879
got two coffee, So yeah, we're going to go. Yesterday

53
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:51,199
it was a little bit of a a little bit

54
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,599
of train wreck when it came to coffee.

55
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 5: But we're here. Yeah, we we both got distracted multiple

56
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,159
times from thinking coffee was being set out. They didn't

57
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:02,840
have it. They have it this morning, but you know,

58
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,199
I brought coffee just in case. Thank you. You have

59
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:08,599
hotel coffee yep. It looks like just in case. Yep.

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,439
So we're okay, we're going to be fully caffeinated and

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:11,960
ready to.

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,199
Speaker 6: Go for the next door chev Well, right here we

63
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,840
are on radio row at the Mobile Convention Center, right

64
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:20,039
next to the entrance. We just saw all the players

65
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,159
filing in. They're headed behind the black curtain here head

66
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:27,280
of the meetings. And yeah, we talked to some of

67
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:30,319
the coaches yesterday. They have I think a combined of

68
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,240
nine hours of meeting time this week, which you're like, oh,

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,800
there's a lot of meeting time. That is not a

70
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,879
lot of meeting time at all, you think about it.

71
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,199
Speaker 5: I'm trying, I'm trying to think like an a normal week,

72
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:41,919
I mean twenty minimum.

73
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:44,479
Speaker 6: Well, you talk, you think about let's just say it's

74
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,520
the meeting start today. They probably started yesterday. Let's just

75
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,280
say Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. That's a little over two

76
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,879
hours a day. That is not a lot of meating,

77
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,800
especially when you're trying to learn a new offense. So

78
00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:58,000
it truly is about the physical skill set of all

79
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,400
these players, the one on one battles. What happens in

80
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:03,840
practice when you get nine hours of practice or nine

81
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,039
hours of meetings and I think eight hours on the field,

82
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,039
seven or eight hours on the field throughout a week.

83
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:11,479
It truly is about the practices.

84
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,759
Speaker 5: The game is fun. It doesn't really matter.

85
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 6: As far as an evaluation standpoint, they are going to get.

86
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:22,959
Their evaluation will start today when practices start, because yeah, okay,

87
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,560
if you can't learn the offense or you might mess up,

88
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,439
you go in. So you should have gone out. You

89
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,079
zig when you should have had quarterback misses, a read

90
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:36,120
or didn't couldn't remember what the the protection adjustment call was. Whatever.

91
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,480
But like these quarterbacks, these receivers, these linemen, these dbs,

92
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,199
their evaluation starts today and we are fired up. There

93
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,240
will be two practices this afternoon. Of course, hopefully it'll

94
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,319
warm up a little bit. Yesterday would have been a

95
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:53,839
quarterbacks nightmare with cold weathers. But the wind, the wind

96
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:54,560
is cutting through.

97
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, you were talking about that yesterday, so for our listeners,

98
00:04:57,439 --> 00:05:00,399
because I think it was a mistake. But y'all never

99
00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:02,639
let me throw a half back pass in a game. Sure,

100
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,399
so I'm going to throw it to you. You were

101
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:07,399
you said yesterday as we were walking back from lunch,

102
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:09,680
you said, this is a quarterback's worst nightmare.

103
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 6: Like what, Yeah, well, let me just win win in general, right,

104
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,759
you have to throw the ball a little bit different.

105
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:16,879
You have to grip the ball a little bit different.

106
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,600
Your pre pass position has to be a little different,

107
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,480
because you don't you want that nose to be pointed

108
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:24,839
down a little bit when you're throwing in the wind

109
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:27,000
so you can cut through Normally, if you're a right

110
00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:29,199
handed passer, if you throw a perfect spiral, that it's

111
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,560
going to be nose up and pointed to the right

112
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,480
a little bit. Remember as a kid, when I was

113
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:35,759
training like the right mechanics, I used to throw at

114
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,600
a throw.

115
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:37,399
Speaker 5: A basketball goal.

116
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,959
Speaker 6: So you have to you have the orange square, so

117
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,160
the goal was as a right handed quarterback, if you

118
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:44,199
hit the top right corner of the orange square, it'll

119
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,519
go in every time with a good spiral because it's

120
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,759
like and that creates a nose up pass, creates a

121
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:51,680
really soft pass to catch.

122
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,079
Speaker 5: Nose down passes.

123
00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 6: If you see like these nose down quarterbacks, it's harder

124
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
passes to catch and like most of the times of

125
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,879
the nose down quarterback, your completion percentage will be lower.

126
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, the balls always kind of going away from you.

127
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,759
It feels like as a receiver.

128
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, there, you got to think like if you have

129
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,319
to like drop your hands to catch the nose down,

130
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,680
if you catching it up, it's just a softer pass

131
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,560
to catch well.

132
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 5: In the wind, you have to cut a little.

133
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,399
Speaker 6: Bit more through the wind, so you have to try

134
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:18,399
to get that nose down a little bit, which makes

135
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:20,839
it a harder pass to throw. Uh, And it's hard

136
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:22,480
to cut through the wind. It's hard to do that.

137
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,439
It's harder pass to catch as well, but then like

138
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:27,839
with the cold, the cold air as well, it dries

139
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:31,439
out your hands, so you're constantly like licking, licking your fingers.

140
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,439
You used to see Drew Brees like in the dome

141
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,199
doing it. But if you have to do it, handwarmers

142
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:41,560
are essential because they create this little oven if you

143
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,800
if you do it right with the handwarmers. You got

144
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,720
to keep your hand warmers.

145
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:49,199
Speaker 5: It creates a little sweat right in your hands, little tack.

146
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,879
You have to do that, and it's it's really, of.

147
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 6: Course to keep your hands warm, but really to keep

148
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,120
them wet.

149
00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 5: A little bit, like you know what I mean. Yeah,

150
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,560
I didn't want to say you don't want to Yeah, okay,

151
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,079
it's okay, that's what you wanted to say. Yeah, that

152
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,160
keeps it oist. That didn't feel like a lot. I mean,

153
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:13,040
I feel, just just seven things to try to keep

154
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,839
your and in uh the right state of mind.

155
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 6: I know that, but it's but yeah, it's the Yeah,

156
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:25,319
so the cold and the wind makes makes all the.

157
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:29,839
Speaker 5: Difference in the world. Yeah, the wind is yeah. I

158
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:31,720
wouldn't say. I mean I'm looking I don't know if

159
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:33,800
you can look at the treado there sir, on that

160
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:38,199
building right there that that flag is it's whippen pretty good.

161
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 6: Well, you know it's we're on the Bay Stadium is

162
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:43,920
not near the baby. I'm looking at the I'm looking

163
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,879
at the tips of these trees.

164
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 5: We're good. Yeah, and uh, you know the whole reason

165
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:50,519
we're obviously rooting for our guy, garretts Smyer. So it's

166
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:52,360
you know, we're paying attention to that.

167
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 6: I don't know if we're gonna get him on the

168
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,759
show today or what day of the week we'll get

169
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:58,000
him on. We'll we'll certainly have a gear now spire

170
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,680
on on the show this week. We ran into him

171
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,439
yesterday leaving the convention Center. He seemed like he was

172
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:03,439
in good spirits, right.

173
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:07,879
Speaker 5: Or role he's probably and Drew Fabian and the executive

174
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:09,800
director of the Panini Senior Ball is going to join

175
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:11,480
us at seven point thirty. That's at least a plan

176
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:15,120
right now. And I'll ask him his question because like

177
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:18,120
the buzz around this game even before we got here,

178
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,800
but certainly since we've been here, is no player has

179
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:23,000
more to gain than Garrett Nesmeyer with a good week

180
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,199
here at Mobile. The quarterback class is not very deep.

181
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,399
He is somebody that certainly has the talent to be

182
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,720
you know, I don't know where the range is, maybe

183
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:36,679
top ninety pick. He certainly before the year we were

184
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,039
talking about him as a potential top Yeah. Before the year.

185
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,399
Speaker 6: It's like, all right, Fia has a bad year, second

186
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,919
third round, good year, We're we're looking at.

187
00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:48,799
Speaker 5: The number one guy, right, Yes, So like that's there,

188
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:51,720
And so teams still remember that. They talk about it.

189
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,000
They're like, yeah, okay, the tape, But like we have

190
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,559
to take in the totality of everything. Offensive coordinator got fired,

191
00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:02,080
head coach got fired, Like the offense was not clicking

192
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,759
when the backup came in. Yep, all right, playing out

193
00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:08,120
with an injury, yeah, playing through an injury that everybody

194
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,120
knew about and knows how hard it is to throw

195
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,360
the ball. So and those aren't excuses. Those are just

196
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,320
that's I'm telling you. That's how scouts have told me

197
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,919
they are evaluating Garrett Neusmeyer. And then we go back

198
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,879
to the junior tape. There's a lot of good in there, right,

199
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,279
And in the scout that I was talking to, you said,

200
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,080
every team's gonna think they can get that good out. Yeah,

201
00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:26,919
just like look, I mean, every head coach like when

202
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:29,240
there's a first round pick that doesn't work out somewhere,

203
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,360
that coach is like, oh, if I had him, like

204
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,320
he'd be a pro bowler, Like I can get that. Well,

205
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,919
not that that means anything anymore, but I can get

206
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,879
that guy to the best of his ability. There's gonna

207
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:41,759
be coaches that think, oh, I can get junior yearns

208
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:45,000
Meyer because he was in a bad system. Right, he's

209
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,240
gonna be healthy. I can get that out of him,

210
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,320
and they're gonna take him if he has a good

211
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,120
week here mobile Well, most coachesn't.

212
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,279
Speaker 6: Then if I had former players and if there's anything

213
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:56,759
you know about former players there pretty cocky, So they

214
00:09:56,919 --> 00:09:57,480
I would.

215
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 5: Say, we all have an ego, but you have to

216
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,279
have one. Yeah, you have to have a professional football player.

217
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, and if you and if there's any question, because

218
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,159
it was everything was pretty mum about that Garrett Nessmyer

219
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:10,840
injury is like, what exactly was it?

220
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 5: What?

221
00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 6: Like I remember in training camp, Oh, the knee got

222
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:14,720
rolled like got hit or rolled up on.

223
00:10:14,799 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 5: He's got a he's got a knee brace on. My god,

224
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,080
he's over maybe uh yeah, a little foreshadow in there.

225
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,879
I don't know any reporting on that one. Uh.

226
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 6: And then the oblique situation or and that's the one.

227
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 5: Like what it like? What is that like?

228
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 6: There was never really details or specifics at least that

229
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,679
I heard that were like, what is it? How do

230
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,360
you fix it? What is it really affecting? Well, we

231
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,840
saw it, if we saw it effected. It affected his mechanics.

232
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,759
It affected the amount of torque that he could put

233
00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:47,120
on the pass and step forward. Because the you take

234
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:49,480
the same passes he threw this year compared to the

235
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,240
same pass as they.

236
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 5: Threw last year, it just looked different. He didn't get

237
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:53,200
the torque on it.

238
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 6: He tried, He just could not create that force and

239
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,399
get his weight going forward too many back, too many wait,

240
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:05,279
going backwards throws uh. And then it's just when something

241
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,200
goes right. As a quarterback or anything, you start pressing,

242
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:11,039
you try, you start you stop trying to make plays,

243
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,279
and you start trying to not make mistakes.

244
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 5: And that's what he did. And then that's when you

245
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:16,759
make more mistakes.

246
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:19,879
Speaker 6: You start seeing those Sam Darnold ghosts that he saw

247
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:22,200
a couple of years. You start not being able to

248
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,080
move in the pocket, you start looking down at the

249
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:28,000
rush and it snowballs and it's snowballed on Garrett, That'smier

250
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:30,679
this year, and it's snowball on everybody for the LSU offense.

251
00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:34,279
So absolutely does he have the most approved in our eyes?

252
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:34,759
Speaker 5: Certainly?

253
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's got the most to gain from this week.

254
00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:39,879
Speaker 5: So I can't wait. Tell I don't it's not just us,

255
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:41,519
Like I do want our listeners to know that, Like

256
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,799
this isn't just LSU homer shows. Yeah, we just had

257
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,679
a Florida Gayo Homers say that Andy Stables, Yeah, shout

258
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,759
out to Andy Woks on three does a great job.

259
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,879
He said the same thing. In scouts that I've talked

260
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:54,200
to have said the same thing, like, and it doesn't

261
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,879
matter which team, like Drew Fabianij, I'm sure we'll say

262
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,200
pretty much the same thing. They who runs this game?

263
00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:04,440
Because of where his draft stock was before last year

264
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,279
to kind of where it fell to, like where there

265
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,799
was times where you were wondering is he going to

266
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,360
be draftable because the bad habits that you create and

267
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,919
you're trying to do all the things that you had

268
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,639
to go through, like you just kind of laid out there.

269
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,360
So were they a slight quarterback class when nobody really

270
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,080
knows who the number two behind Fernando Mendoza. Is is

271
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,559
it ty Simpson? Chambliss could maybe be, but he wants

272
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:27,480
to go play in college.

273
00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 6: Well, he looked like ty Simpson's not here at this game. Yeah,

274
00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:34,039
so that does tell you that somebody has given him

275
00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:37,480
some advice about where they think he's going. So that

276
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,120
that should be all you need to know about where

277
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:41,759
ty Simpson's going to fall. Maybe not in the draft

278
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:44,639
order because I don't know how many first rounders.

279
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,159
Speaker 5: Are in this class.

280
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, but where he's going to go in the quarterback list,

281
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:50,360
at least he's got to be. I would think the

282
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:52,919
second guy or the third guy, dependent on what happens

283
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,200
with with Trinidad.

284
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,919
Speaker 5: Who knows. He did probably start with stuff finding that

285
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,320
got good fight Well, yeah, because Drew fa and you

286
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,320
did save a spot for tryda Jamus. But now the

287
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,600
game started, so like, let's go play in the NFL. Yeah,

288
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,799
you could go play in the NFL, but he was

289
00:13:06,799 --> 00:13:07,440
playing college.

290
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 6: Kind of the dream, It's kind of what.

291
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 4: You were before the ultimate goal?

292
00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 5: What about I got like a guy like Carson back, Like,

293
00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:15,759
did you think.

294
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 6: He would maybe be here? I think he's an interesting option.

295
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:24,559
I'm not a pro I'm not a scout. Well, I

296
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:25,799
think of the name Carson back.

297
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 5: You do have a notebook, though, mouth breathing.

298
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,399
Speaker 6: I'm thinking this is just a guess and I'm basing

299
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:34,559
this off of absolutely nothing.

300
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:40,759
Speaker 5: Round five okay, just because of the blows, ups and downs,

301
00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:42,279
peaks and valleys, whatever you want to say.

302
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,879
Speaker 6: Well, look, I think this is again, this is a

303
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:50,360
draft class where there's a couple of guys at the top.

304
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:53,679
But then I think there's probably there might be this gap. Yeah,

305
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:58,840
like a quarterback drought in this draft, fourth, fifth, sixth round.

306
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,480
I don't know where it's going to, where he's going

307
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,360
to fall, But I don't think he's a He's not

308
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:03,879
a guy that you're going to take right now to

309
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,639
be a starter, right, He's guy that I think you

310
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,279
taken good back up, maybe turns into a starter when

311
00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:11,200
he gets his opportunity.

312
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,919
Speaker 5: Can he you know, can he make it worth it?

313
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:13,799
Type of guy?

314
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,759
Speaker 6: I don't know, And I base that off of absolutely nothing.

315
00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:17,440
I don't know what the draft stock is. I don't

316
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,039
know what scouts are saying. We can certainly ask around,

317
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:21,159
though we're in.

318
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,559
Speaker 5: The right place. We got our ear to the ground. Yeah,

319
00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:27,360
we do absolutely we're gonna be able to know all

320
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,399
the things by the time we get done here. All right,

321
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,120
there is multiple LSU players here, and hopefully today the

322
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,759
goal is to talk to at least one LSU player.

323
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,000
Yesterday we had a couple of quarterbacks. We had Joel

324
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Thomas actually going to be the head coach for the

325
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:45,639
American team here of the New Orleans Saints' coaching staff there.

326
00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:47,919
You didn't see him, well, you saw his back, you

327
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,519
didn't see his face, but he.

328
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 6: Gave some great We flipped the desk today, so all

329
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,120
of the other people that are tuning in watching on YouTube,

330
00:14:55,639 --> 00:15:00,759
did you were doing nothing the talent. We're not going

331
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,080
to give anybody the option just to put their butt

332
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:03,679
in the camera.

333
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 5: Oh that's true. If he stopped by today, like you

334
00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:08,519

335
00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:11,919
him stop again. He gave good stuff, just like just okay,

336
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,200
let's see your face. Yeah. Uh, maybe we can get

337
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,399

338
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,559
him yesterday. We'll make him get on camera again today.

339
00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:23,240
There's seven Saints coaches here, so they are well represented

340
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:27,120
and throughout the show, like we did yesterday, We're gonna

341
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:28,919
kind of go through. Okay, who do we think like

00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:08,000
We'll we'll tease it for next segment. You definitely won't

405
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:11,000
google that. Do you think the owner of the bills those?

406
00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:17,680
Uh yeah, well Michigan State and then Florida State. Well,

407
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,519
I didn't know that. I wouldn't got there.

408
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 6: No, Okay, maybe I don't read the back of the

409
00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:24,000
sports cards.

410
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:31,319
Speaker 5: Well I'll just tave you the pictures. And that's how

411
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,599
you know where somebody went to college. I can appreciate it.

412
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,200
What are you talking about. I can appreciate it. Nothing. No,

413
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:41,319
instead of like knowing where they played, Oh I got you.

414
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:42,960
I thought you're saying, that's where you know where I

415
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
went to college. Oh no, I know. We were to

416
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,359
college Louisiana State University. It's the only place that you win.

417
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:54,839
You didn't go four places. Anyways, any who's the rosters

418
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,960
are a little a little bit different than maybe we thought.

419
00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:00,599
And we still gotta we gotta get comm formation. And

420
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,799
so when drew sits down was like in five minutes,

421
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,200
because there was initially five LSU players. Now the list

422
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:10,519
is down two three. He did say that they had

423
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:13,200
to change a couple of flights. Yeah, I think one

424
00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:14,000
hundred and fifty.

425
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, which is a real pain in the rear.

426
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,559
Speaker 5: And I'm sure it costs a little bit of money

427
00:20:20,599 --> 00:20:23,759
to do that. Yeah, And he meant he mentioned that.

428
00:20:24,319 --> 00:20:26,599
But it's not just players. There's a lot of people

429
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,400
trying to cover this game. That have always been this game.

430
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,640
I know, like our guy Chris Dory, like he right now,

431
00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:33,839
he was on flights all day yesterday that just kept

432
00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:36,359
getting canceled and canceled and canceled. He was trying to

433
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,039
go through Charlotte from Gainsville to Charlotte, Charlotte's to Mobile.

434
00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:42,079
We did have Andy Staples stopped by before the show.

435
00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:44,160
We were chatting it up, who also lives in Gainesville,

436
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,559
and he's like, yeah, I never fly. I always drive

437
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,119
to this game because by the time you go from

438
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,680
here to there to back.

439
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,599
Speaker 6: You probably have to have from Gainsville to Atlanta, then

440
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,519
Atlanta the Pensacola, rent a car and then drive.

441
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 5: You can get into Mobile too if you wanted to.

442
00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:01,000
Of course, about the same as I think everybody I've

443
00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:03,640
talked to those had they fly, A lot of people have,

444
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,279
but also new Eiel flew in Mobile last night. All

445
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:12,400
I got basically Andy was saying Ding's bougie and he

446
00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:14,240
just got in a car and made the five and

447
00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:16,319
a half hour drive. Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

448
00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 6: Uh, that's that's an obvious move though. Anything five and

449
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,799
a half hours.

450
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 5: It's like it's like Charlos to go down to thirty eight.

451
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, so maybe maybe if it's a you're going somewhere,

452
00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:31,720
if the airport's close to you and it's a direct flight,

453
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,079
but if you got to connect, yeah, you ain't get anywhere.

454
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 5: Under five hours. No. That's why it like, we would

455
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,119
never fly to this had been because it's a three

456
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,160
hour drive, but we would have to go from Baton

457
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,240
Rouge to Atlanta to Mohill or Veton Rouge to Dallas

458
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,839
to You got to calculate everything.

459
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 6: You gotta talk, You got to calculate the drive time

460
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,519
to the airport, You got to calculate the time you

461
00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:51,559
got to be there before.

462
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 5: You can't just say, well, it took off.

463
00:21:53,759 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 6: At five o'clock and only got there three and a

464
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,960
half hours later. Nope, sorry, when did you leave your house?

465
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 5: And that's why the New Orleans Saints are so well

466
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,880
represented here at the Senior Bowl because they are drivable.

467
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,440
They're the closest team. And I know this game has

468
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,079
talked about moving for a couple of different years, but

469
00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:16,319
for the Saints, it is very convenient. And that's why

470
00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:18,640
they have seven coaches going to be coaching for the

471
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,519
American team. We talked about receiver yesterday for the Saints.

472
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,039
What other positions do we think maybe, I mean, this

473
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:28,759
is a deep edge.

474
00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:31,519
Speaker 6: We know it's an EDG rusher class, so I think

475
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:33,680
that I mean that is when we go off to

476
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,440
practice today, the thing that I'm most excited to watch

477
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,680
is one on one routes.

478
00:22:40,759 --> 00:22:43,039
Speaker 5: So so receivers verse dbs.

479
00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 6: And then the quarterback throwing of course, and then one

480
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,680
on one pass protection. Yeah, I cannot wait to see

481
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:51,079
these offensive line go against the defensive line. So that's

482
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,839
where that's where people. I think those one on one

483
00:22:54,880 --> 00:23:01,960
reps is at a position like rusher or offensive tackle.

484
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,039
I think that's where you can move up some rounds

485
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,519
just because, all right, this guy looks the part. I've

486
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:10,599
seen him play, I've seen him do it on film.

487
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,599
But you don't really know the competition. Well, you get

488
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,480
the best on the best here at the Senior Bowl.

489
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:18,119
So if you dominate and you come out looking like

490
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,519
an alpha like, you're gonna turn some heads. And when

491
00:23:20,519 --> 00:23:23,079
they're sitting when you have gms and scouts sitting there

492
00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:26,480
on draft day looking at that best available, looking at

493
00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:30,079
all the big boards and everything, those one on one

494
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,839
reps stick out to you. Certainly, it's not like how

495
00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:35,559
you played in the game. It's not like, well he

496
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,920
grated out of eighty three at the Senior Bowl game. No,

497
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,960
it's like, was that guy a dog? Did he whip

498
00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:44,640
somebody's tail one on one? So I can't wait to

499
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,319
watch that. So yeah, certainly edge rusher for the Saints

500
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,400
would be I mean, we've.

501
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 5: Talked about a nauseum like there's.

502
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 6: Besides quarterback, there's really not a position that you couldn't

503
00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:59,680
use a little bit more depth. But certainly edge rusher

504
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:06,200
would make huge difference. Another lockdown corner would be fantastic. Yeah, but.

505
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:11,079
Speaker 5: You know not what's gonna happen as far as free

506
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:15,480
agency with some guys and Jennings Dunker Lante Taylor falls.

507
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,559
As far as edge rushers, a couple of names that

508
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:19,920
I think a lot of people will know.

509
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 4: T J.

510
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,559
Speaker 5: Parker from Clemson somebody's talked about a lot. Logan for

511
00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:27,960
new from Utah denied. Dennis Sutton from Penn State is

512
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,519
somebody that had a lot of fanfare coming into the season.

513
00:24:31,319 --> 00:24:34,680
Romelo Height from Texas Tech is also another player that

514
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,200
had a really good year and kind of, you know,

515
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,119
put his name in front of a lot of college

516
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,079
football fans. So those are some edge rushers to pay

517
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,119
attention to. I'm going to give you a say, a

518
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,359
small school, but he's just a group of six. Guy

519
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:53,079
at dB, you mentioned corner Chris Johnson from San Diego State. Okay,

520
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,200
that's somebody to kind of pay attention to. I think

521
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,759
he is a really good player, and I'm looking forward

522
00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:00,720
to seeing happy a little bit, thank you, looking forward

523
00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:03,559
to seeing how he competes here at the Panini Senior Ball.

524
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,720
So if you're watching practice, look out for Chris Johnson

525
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,279

Speaker 4: Yeah.

572
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:41,079
Speaker 7: I heard it swimming be like around forty eight to

00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:42,920
fifty right in there in the wind.

574
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,599

00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:48,319
Speaker 7: But as long as it's not raining, as long as

576
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,440
it's not raining and the wind won't be blowing like

577
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,359
it was yesterday.

578
00:27:51,759 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 5: You know, I was kind of hoping it was so

579
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,200
I could just go heckle the quarterbacks, though in practice

580
00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:57,759
you would.

581
00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 7: Be heckling, yeah, because like mettle to you, you better

582
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,640
make sure the tip down on that one.

583
00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 5: By the first segment, like how do you throw the

584
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,160
football in the wind?

585
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 4: Down.

586
00:28:08,519 --> 00:28:12,559
Speaker 6: That's exactly right kind of speak of that. So the

587
00:28:13,599 --> 00:28:14,480
what a week this is?

588
00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 4: This is a.

589
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 6: Year's worth of preparation all wrapped into one week, and

590
00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:21,960
so you're kind of like the man of the like,

591
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,559
how much sleep you getting in right now?

592
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 4: You know? Actually not, it's not that bad, okay.

593
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,839
Speaker 7: You know, I've got a great staff and that that's

594
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,200
part of the thing that people don't really realize that

595
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,599
we've got eight full time people, you know, I'm nine,

596
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,759
including me, which handled most of the operations piece of it.

597
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,240
And then we've got myself, you know, my director ops,

598
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,359
and plus two scouting assistants to handle the you know,

599
00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:46,559
the football side. Plus we've got ten area scouts. You

600
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:49,079
can sparkle all over the country and you know, and

601
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:53,200
I mean and again you don't know that. So again,

602
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,799
like I came in and checked on the interviews last

603
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,039
night and everything was running smooth, and I was like,

604
00:28:57,359 --> 00:28:59,519
I'm out, you know, because I was here from like

605
00:28:59,599 --> 00:29:02,400
five already. You know, I was like, hey, it's nine thirty,

606
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,319
I'm done, you know.

607
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 5: And you switched the schedule up a little bit this year. Yeah,

608
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,680
so practice is going to be a little bit later

609
00:29:07,759 --> 00:29:08,799
than it normally.

610
00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:11,279
Speaker 7: Was well that end, and you'll find out in about

611
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:16,160
the twenty five minutes the players are going to start interviewing. Yeah,

612
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,720
the interviews used to be at night. They were at

613
00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:20,920
night last night because there was no practice yesterday. So

614
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,759
we had some community service things that we did and

615
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,279
which went off really really well, you know, but what

616
00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:31,319
I did is doing that, I had to push back practice,

617
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,079
which asking the network and asking ESPN in the network,

618
00:29:36,119 --> 00:29:38,759
the NFL network, it pushed.

619
00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:41,079
Speaker 4: Into primetime, so they were like, let's go.

620
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:42,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, because they're going to make more money

621
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:45,039
on the advertising dollars for the you know, the commercials.

622
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 4: You guys know, you're in media now. So that was

623
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:49,559
that was an issue. You know.

624
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 7: The issue was that I didn't want these guys to

625
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:55,799
be tied up like they were because they were interview

626
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,200
seven o'clock ten thirty every night.

627
00:29:57,279 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and now they have.

628
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,519
Speaker 7: The downtime as soon as we get done with the

629
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:03,759
programming after their meal, which is minimal, like it'll be

630
00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:06,039
Merrill Lynch, you know, it'll be the you know, the

631
00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:08,119
Panini night you know and all that, but they'll be

632
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,079
done like about eight thirty eight forty five. I have

633
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,359
some downtime be able to recover, they'll be able to

634
00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:13,640
go to the training room, they'll be able to take

635
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,440
care of the bodies a little bit more, you know.

636
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,960
And that's what I wanted this to be about. I

637
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,119
wanted to be about the player, right, And yeah, we

638
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,160
pushed it back, and it also made it to where

639
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,680
the community can actually get there. You know, if somebody

640
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,559
worked till five, they can at least get an hour

641
00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:30,279
of practice right and bring the child and meaning that's

642
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:33,200
something they couldn't do before because practice used to end

643
00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:35,839
like at four point thirty. That's it, you know. But

644
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,599
then you know the problem, well not the problem. The

645
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,960
issue I heard from the agent was that, you know,

646
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:44,359
the player was like NonStop from like six o'clock all

647
00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:46,480
the way to ten thirty, and it.

648
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,039
Speaker 4: Was hard on them.

649
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:48,559
Speaker 7: So I wanted to make it better for them, but

650
00:30:48,839 --> 00:30:50,920
it made it better for everybody else too. So I

651
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,039
was like, all these guys just walking past.

652
00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 4: Going, hey, I got an evening. I can actually go.

653
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 5: To dinner now.

654
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, you know, normally it's rundown to

655
00:30:59,519 --> 00:31:02,000
Joe Cane are Chick fil A and you know, run

656
00:31:02,039 --> 00:31:04,799
back over here. But now there's a lot of changes.

657
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,240
But I think it benefits everybody.

658
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 4: I really do.

659
00:31:08,599 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 5: Well.

660
00:31:08,759 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 6: You had some logistical challenges, that's probably that's probably the

661
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,079
source of having extra cocktail.

662
00:31:16,759 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 7: We monitored I mean, we monitored it so closely. And

663
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:22,519
we were sitting in the office last week, me and

664
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:26,559
Jack and he goes, yeah, he says, supposedly they're getting ice.

665
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:29,279
I said, no, they're getting ice in Dallas. And I said,

666
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,960
and I lived there, and I said, we need to

667
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,519
get them out now. And so we started on can

668
00:31:35,559 --> 00:31:37,599
we get the hotel rooms. That was the biggest piece,

669
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:39,119
you know, because we didn't want to bring them in

670
00:31:39,119 --> 00:31:40,519
and have nowhere.

671
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 4: To put them.

672
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,559
Speaker 7: So we scrambled around, got rooms, you know, did all that,

673
00:31:43,839 --> 00:31:46,599
and when it was all said and done, we had

674
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,599
about eighty six percent of them in here on Friday,

675
00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:54,759
and now we're only missing one player and we're at

676
00:31:54,759 --> 00:31:57,960
a full roster. One hundred or one hundred and twenty

677
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,920
five flight changes were made, and you know, felt sorry

678
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,240
for Jack because he was kind of helping the travel agent.

679
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,079
Speaker 4: I was like, dude, you can't do that job too.

680
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,440
I was like, but he was.

681
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:11,119
Speaker 7: He was doing a great job, and you know, and

682
00:32:11,119 --> 00:32:14,880
again the logistics were just awful. But got the coaches here,

683
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,799
got the players here, and the weather's getting better and better.

684
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,440
You know, hang around long enough, Matt, it'll maybe be

685
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,880
sixty on Saturday. You never know, doubt here coming off

686
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,839
the water, it changes.

687
00:32:26,119 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 5: That's right. How many L Shoe guys ended up because

688
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,519
I know five initially I think three.

689
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,519
Speaker 4: I think three. Yeah, I think it's I.

690
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 5: Think the final roster with two receivers, right, and Anderson

691
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,400
Brown then had nuts.

692
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, and nus because we lost the other ones because

693
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:43,720
of injury.

694
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean and j Hasty and Jack Pieburn, yes.

695
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 7: Yes, And trust me, if you knew Jack Piburn, you know,

696
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,440
and the way he is that he wanted to be

697
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,680
here and he was just like, I can't. And again,

698
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,319
I'm not going to push anybody, especially if they have

699
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,480
some kind of medical issue, because if they come down here,

700
00:33:03,079 --> 00:33:04,880
I mean, you can get embarrassed down there.

701
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,559
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you know if you're not getting fully healthy.

702
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's You've seen the guys that you know, hey,

703
00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:15,839
maybe in small college guys or maybe been that fringe

704
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,039
guy that did get embarrassed down here.

705
00:33:18,119 --> 00:33:19,559
Speaker 4: But there's also.

706
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 7: Those guys that elevate themselves through the roof, you know,

707
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,400
and I think there's gonna be some of those guys

708
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,319
that elevate themselves through the roof down here.

709
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 5: Give me a small college guy. Maybe somebody that's under

710
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,519
the radar, because we were actually just talking about it

711
00:33:30,599 --> 00:33:33,079
right before you came on. Somebody that you're looking forward

712
00:33:33,119 --> 00:33:36,680
to seeing against, you know, power for guys each and

713
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:37,599
every day in practice.

714
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,559
Speaker 7: Probably Ted Hurst, the receiver from Georgia State. I think

715
00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:44,480
he'll surprise, you know, the Deming's kid from Steven F.

716
00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 4: Austin.

717
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 7: You know, him and Malik Muhammad are a lot alike,

718
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,880
you know, just different resources, different schools. I mean, you

719
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,160
know he's gonna show that he belongs. You know, the

720
00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:58,000
Montgomery kid we picked up, you know, from the American Bowl.

721
00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:01,720
What was strange story, but a great story. I mean

722
00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:05,720
Division one basketball commit, you know, showed out down there

723
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,360
and everybody told me, hey, you need to take a

724
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,239
peek of this kid. And I mean, because we didn't

725
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,840
look at him, ain't gonna like it. I didn't look

726
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,800
at him until he was down there. Then I had

727
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,559
access to the tape and I was like, yeah, this

728
00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:19,880
guy belongs, you know. And I was like, you know again,

729
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:21,920
he didn't play because his Mom.

730
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 4: You know he was ill.

731
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 7: You know, he didn't take the basketball scholarship ends going

732
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,719
to John Carroll mean Division III school blows it up.

733
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,679
I mean, and we'll see. I mean, I think he'll

734
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,000
show he belongs and I think people will be really surprised.

735
00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 4: I really do. Trying to think of the other any

736
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:38,400
other ones.

737
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 5: I was note with Johnson from San Diego State.

738
00:34:42,559 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't consider him kind of a sleeper because

739
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,360
he's he's actually got some really good tape and and

740
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,519
all the personnel people know him, you know, the Steven

741
00:34:51,599 --> 00:34:53,039
f kid. I mean, it's like I don't know how

742
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:55,559
he stated Stephen Fan because I would have been a

743
00:34:55,559 --> 00:34:58,480
general MANU. Yeah, you're not staying there.

744
00:34:58,559 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 4: Let's go. Let's go.

745
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 6: Drew kind up a loaded question here, but all you

746
00:35:06,199 --> 00:35:07,480
it's already seven to forty.

747
00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 5: Drew's your coffee, al right.

748
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 6: So I know that like all the stages that these kids,

749
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,599
these kids have to be on, like we talked about

750
00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:17,880
it yesterday, like everything that they do from here till

751
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,000
next September is about making a football team, and it's

752
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,400
all maker. Everything they do is a make or break situation.

753
00:35:23,559 --> 00:35:25,400
From how they talk to in these interviews, how do

754
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,639
they act in the meeting rooms, how they perform in

755
00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:31,480
individuals and one on one team drills. Everything that they

756
00:35:31,519 --> 00:35:34,559
do is about not getting cut or not getting so

757
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,360
Joel Thomas yesterday, one of the coaches here, coach coach

758
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,639
for the New Orleans Saints, kind of said, in these

759
00:35:39,639 --> 00:35:42,480
interview processes, of course, we're looking for that one thing

760
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:44,480
that they say that makes them stick out in a

761
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,840
good way. We're also looking for the one thing that

762
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,800
might make us take somebody else. So of all the

763
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,000
things that they do, is there anything that sticks out

764
00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:57,639
to you that is might make somebody slide or elevate

765
00:35:57,639 --> 00:35:58,440
themselves more?

766
00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:02,039
Speaker 7: You know, I think that again this is this is

767
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,679
the NFL wants this to be part of the process,

768
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:07,280
and it is the draft does start and will be

769
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,360
the last time they put in the pads right against

770
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,920
the best of the best. That's what they want. They

771
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,920
want to see you compete against the best of the best.

772
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,039
Bottom line, And like you said, is there if you

773
00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:21,000
don't fulfill the pieces of the process, whether it's the interviews,

774
00:36:21,039 --> 00:36:23,159
like you said, being with the coaches, being on time,

775
00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:26,079
being accountable, being mature, showing you're a professional. You know,

776
00:36:26,159 --> 00:36:30,119
if you don't do that, then the check marks go away. Right, Well,

777
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,360
they want the check marks, they want the Senior Bowl.

778
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,239
They want you to go through the interviews, practice play

779
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,519
bam bam bam. Right, they want you to go to

780
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:40,199
the combine bam bam, bam right. Pro dame bam bam bam.

781
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,440
When you don't do the process the way the league

782
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,239
expects you to, it's gonna throw red flags up. And

783
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,880
it's also going to say, and here's the biggest thing

784
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,440
to me, how do you prove that you love the game?

785
00:36:53,199 --> 00:36:53,559
Speaker 5: Right?

786
00:36:53,639 --> 00:36:56,039
Speaker 7: Because you guys know, you've been in the locker room,

787
00:36:56,079 --> 00:37:00,559
you've been in an NFL organization and in that building.

788
00:37:01,199 --> 00:37:02,119
Speaker 4: If you don't love the.

789
00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:04,559
Speaker 7: Game, the game will I mean the building and the

790
00:37:04,599 --> 00:37:06,440
players will eat your ass a live.

791
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 4: Right.

792
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 7: So again, if you can show that you love to play,

793
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,039
at least you got a chance, you know. And that's

794
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,239
because people and I always the quote, it wasn't a

795
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,960
magic you know, answer or answer question or whatever, but

796
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,639
I'd ask coaches, does he love to play?

797
00:37:26,679 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 5: Oh?

798
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:27,519
Speaker 4: Yeah?

799
00:37:27,639 --> 00:37:30,559
Speaker 7: And I'd say, can you give me an example? Well,

800
00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:32,840
guess what if it took two minutes to figure out example?

801
00:37:33,519 --> 00:37:35,920
You know, that was that was no real, you know,

802
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,199
but a coach is never going to say, you know,

803
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,639
well he kind of likes it, you know, but they're

804
00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:41,639
not going to say that.

805
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 5: Now.

806
00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:43,599
Speaker 7: A guy did tell me that a long time ago

807
00:37:43,599 --> 00:37:45,079
in scout and he told me, this guy's in for

808
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:47,639
the money and everything else. And guess what he busted,

809
00:37:48,519 --> 00:37:50,400
which was nice because I had a contact.

810
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 4: I mean, we went way back. But normally they don't

811
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:53,920
tell you. They don't.

812
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 7: So to answer your question, the biggest piece is how

813
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,159
can I show that I love to play and be

814
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:03,440
a professional, right bottom line? That's that's how simple this is.

815
00:38:04,079 --> 00:38:06,320
If you don't go through the process, it hurts you.

816
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,039
There are some guys last year that didn't go through

817
00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:11,320
the process and did not take it serious, did not

818
00:38:11,599 --> 00:38:13,960
do it the right way. And guess what, they kept

819
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,639
sliding in the draft because buildings aren't comfortable with guys

820
00:38:17,679 --> 00:38:22,039
that they get there every time you go. Or here's

821
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:25,800
the other thing the NFL wants to tell you, No, yeah,

822
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,719
they do, they do, and guess what you you let

823
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,599
them say no, that's what happens. Then you get cut

824
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:34,159
or you don't even make it there.

825
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say that's probably like the majority of

826
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,400
scout's job is to find reasons not to draft somebody.

827
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,639
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and then if.

828
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:44,079
Speaker 6: You find there's somebody that makes it through and he's

829
00:38:44,119 --> 00:38:47,119
got no x's near his name, that's when you start

830
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:48,119
getting serious about that.

831
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:48,599
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

832
00:38:48,599 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 7: We used to we used to say the cleaner the

833
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,239
higher you take somebody, the cleaner they have to be, right,

834
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:53,599
you know.

835
00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 4: And and that's bottom line.

836
00:38:55,039 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 7: I mean, and again, I can punch holes in anybody, Okay,

837
00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:02,480
But can I punch holes in somebody's character if they

838
00:39:02,519 --> 00:39:05,480
got really good character? No, I can punch holes in

839
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,360
their game, right, sure, you know. But here's the other thing.

840
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,000
I think a lot of players character shows up on tape. Yeah,

841
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,400
and people don't grasp that until you watch enough of

842
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:21,159
a player, not highlights, I'm talking about game tape. Yeah,

843
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,840
because you know you'll see a guy take a playoff

844
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,199
here and there, or you'll see your hair on fire guy.

845
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,360
You know, you'll see lot, you'll see that's the first

846
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:30,400
guy in last Guy out.

847
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 4: You know, you just see it on tape. I mean

848
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,400
you can so just like eighteen.

849
00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:39,079
Speaker 7: Yet if you get an eighteen, guess what, Yeah, you've

850
00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:39,800
already proved it.

851
00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:44,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's perfect for our last question. That's all right,

852
00:39:45,079 --> 00:39:47,880
all right, we got about ninety seconds left. Drew the

853
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,800
last guy to word, bradn l Shue, Garrett Nesmeyer. It

854
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,360
was like a giant week for him. The junior tape

855
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,400
is incredible, over four thousand yards in the sec uh,

856
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,599
the senior tape played through injury system, didn't work out,

857
00:39:59,639 --> 00:40:01,400
did not have the year by any means that he

858
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,320
was hoping to have. Does he have the most to gain?

859
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,000
Maybe here at this year's game.

860
00:40:06,159 --> 00:40:09,519
Speaker 7: I would say yes, and just because again here and

861
00:40:09,519 --> 00:40:11,039
I'm gonna and I'm gonna throw the media under the

862
00:40:11,039 --> 00:40:12,440
bus on this one too.

863
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 4: Wasn't he like the.

864
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,679
Speaker 7: Second rated quarterback in the draft, whenn't he like mocking

865
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,079
like a pick six, seven, eight, whatever, my first round? Okay, Now,

866
00:40:20,119 --> 00:40:23,559
all of a sudden, you know he's roadkill. And like

867
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:26,199
you said, I can't unsee what I saw, Like you said,

868
00:40:26,199 --> 00:40:29,119
four yards, twenty four touchdowns. I mean, there was no

869
00:40:29,159 --> 00:40:31,000
way I was not gonna invite Garrett to this game,

870
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:34,840
right because they didn't protect well, he was hurt. The receivers,

871
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,920
you know, the half of them didn't produce like they

872
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,519
were supposed to. Couldn't run the ball. I mean, there's

873
00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:42,719
so many things that went against him. Well, when you're

874
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,360
evaluating a guy, you go, why, you know, why are

875
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,559
the why is this happened? Well, he's gonna come down here,

876
00:40:48,679 --> 00:40:50,199
and I'm gonna say this flat out.

877
00:40:50,559 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 4: The media will be talking about.

878
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,119
Speaker 7: Him at the end of the week and like, you know,

879
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:55,800
he could possibly get back into the first round, no kidding,

880
00:40:57,079 --> 00:41:01,519
no kidding, because the traits are already there. The production

881
00:41:01,679 --> 00:41:04,280
was already there, you know. And now it's like, oh, well,

882
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:05,719
you know he got beat up. You know, well they

883
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,519
didn't play. Well, yeah, it was it his fault, right,

884
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,800
you know, if you watch enough tape you know it's not.

885
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,599
But again, a lot of people don't watch tape. They

886
00:41:14,679 --> 00:41:18,159
just talk yeah you know. So and again I pride

887
00:41:18,159 --> 00:41:21,000
myself on doing that and put this way. I invited

888
00:41:21,039 --> 00:41:23,400
him in August. Now I didn't put the official invite

889
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,679
out there. Yeah, oh you know, because I can't. But

890
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,920
I told him, I said, look, you're coming the mobile.

891
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:28,199
Speaker 5: Yeah.

892
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 7: And then you know, midway through the year, people are

893
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,760

My back's turn so I can't say hi. I'm giving

935
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,000
in the backwards way kind of awkera of the backwards well,

936
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,280
laundry just fixed the cord. The cord was tangled up

937
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,119
a little bit, daring drew, and I felt like I

938
00:43:40,159 --> 00:43:47,559
was like in a just a screwdriver type position, like awkward. Yeah,

939
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:52,480
nobody holds full back one down like a cord. Well, yeah,

940
00:43:52,519 --> 00:43:54,599
because I was about to full back one rip it

941
00:43:54,639 --> 00:44:04,440
out of this thing, me like, no work. I don't

942
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,280
see any fullbacks in here though, week no grit in

943
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:11,800
this room, right, they must be uh getting interviewed. They're

944
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,960
still getting first up. The're still getting their measurements. Actually

945
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:18,599
they couldn't believe them.

946
00:44:18,639 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 6: So speaking of maggies, five nine, seven eighths, H yeah,

947
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,679
diego Pavia yesterday the.

948
00:44:25,679 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 5: Most famous heights in America. The only one I saw

949
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,920
yesterday from obviously, like it's the only one I saw

950
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,400
from any media outlet. And he did just walk by

951
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,760
us and H five nine and seven eights. You said

952
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,000
seven eights. Y. Anytime that you throw the seven eights

953
00:44:42,039 --> 00:44:44,000
out there, it's not good. But just like when I

954
00:44:44,039 --> 00:44:45,800
ask you how tall you are and you always say

955
00:44:47,039 --> 00:44:50,079
sixteen a quarter exactly, so you want to be six.

956
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 6: In our day, they used to measure by the quarter inch.

957
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,639
Now they're going by the eighth, which is a little rude.

958
00:44:55,679 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 5: I feel like, okay, well, people tell me, like I

959
00:44:59,079 --> 00:45:01,519
measured five eleven the combine. I don't think I'm five eleven.

960
00:45:01,519 --> 00:45:03,280
I think I'm five to ten, So I tell people

961
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,599
five to ten. I don't give him any you can

962
00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:08,719
and a half. I don't you don't believe the measuring tape.

963
00:45:10,559 --> 00:45:13,079
I feel like I shrunk after so many ISOs.

964
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 6: Okay in the air now, yeah, yeah, go see a.

965
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:22,679
Speaker 5: Chiropractor for that. Uh Badge of Honor.

966
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 6: Quarterbacks measurements. Taylor Grain six six yea's ray, how's the

967
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:30,320
air up there?

968
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:30,679
Speaker 5: Taylor?

969
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:35,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, seriously slower. Robinson six three and a half. Luke

970
00:45:35,519 --> 00:45:38,760
Altmeyer six foot one and two eights. Some would say

971
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:44,239
one quarter carrottnus Meyer six foot one then zero eights.

972
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,920
That's good for him, though. Cole Peyton six foot two,

973
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:51,599
three eighths. Diego Pavia five nine seven eighths. It's a

974
00:45:51,639 --> 00:45:54,159
weird eight eight eight thing is weird, Like if they

975
00:45:54,159 --> 00:45:55,760
went by a quarter he'd get rounded up there.

976
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,079
Speaker 5: All right, Well, hopefully we'll catch up with one of

977
00:45:58,079 --> 00:46:00,840
those quarterbacks here in our number two of OTV.

978
00:46:02,559 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: Off the bench, Off the bench.

979
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 5: Well, there's a lot of a youthful spirit here in

980
00:46:09,519 --> 00:46:13,880
this room right now. Reminds me of myself eighteen years

981
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:18,440
ago being in this very hallway going into these very meetings.

982
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,440
But when I try to do what they do now,

983
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,159
it's not the same. Until I went to a medic

984
00:46:26,079 --> 00:46:30,559
You go location that's going to be near you in Louisiana.

985
00:46:30,639 --> 00:46:32,639
Nobody where you're listening to this, It doesn't matter from

986
00:46:32,679 --> 00:46:34,800
