00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:50,640
on performing here at the Senior Ball And Man, I'm

30
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,239
playing this game eighteen years ago, so a long time ago,

31
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:56,159
but I still remember the pressure of being here playing

32
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,560
in this game, man, and you have certainly risen to

33
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:01,920
the top the first two days. Has it been has

34
00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:04,599
it been exciting? Nerve wracking? Like, how has this experience

35
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:06,079
been for you? Coming from John Carroll?

36
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 6: Uh, I wouldn't say nervous a story word. I think

37
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:12,680
more anxious. Yeah, you know, coming from a D three school,

38
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:14,960
I think I just want to so discuss and sow

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,719
all the guys. As you know, just because I'm a

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,599
D three guy doesn't mean I'm a D three player,

41
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:20,080
And I just want to show down, hang with the

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:20,719
best of them, you know.

43
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So, Tyer, we so yesterday after practice, So

44
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:26,240
you made some great plays the first day, and I

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,759
was like, all right, cool, it makes some great plays.

46
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,599
Then come out the second day do the same thing.

47
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:31,960
And I'm sitting there and I'm watching. Of course you're

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,080
making like the big plays that everybody kind of sees

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,520
that are kind of making the rounds right now. But

50
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,439
I watched you yesterday rout running, crisp rout run and everything,

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,120
like all the little things, even when you didn't get

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,759
the ball, it looked looked really good. So I'm like afterwards,

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,319
I'm like, all right, let's look up this guy's story,

54
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,479
like where's he Frond, Like what's where is John Carroll?

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,800
Like you know this is And so we started looking

56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,360
up the story and so so we're we're ESPN and

57
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,319
Baton Rouge. So I was like, man, this guy's got

58
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:55,719
some he's from the Woodlands, he's from the Houston area.

59
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,199
He uh. Started look up the story and it's an

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,879
incredible story. And so we we kind of told our

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,479
listeners in Louisiana kind of about this the story of

62
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,439
how you've you made it to John Carroll and how

63
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:08,879
you made it to the senior ball and it all

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,199
started with basketball, right, Yeah, So you grew up to

65
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:13,840
you're a basketball player, no football, no football, that's right.

66
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,159
And so you grew up in around the Woodlands area

67
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:22,759
and you actually were at LSU for a semester, isn't

68
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:24,879
that right? Yeah, yes, sir, And so you were walking

69
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,400
on on basketball. Okay, so who what what year was that?

70
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:35,000
Nineteen twenty nineteen fantastic and so frea good year for LSU. Yeah, football, right,

71
00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:39,719
all yeah, that's awesome. And so how did the whole All? Right,

72
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,879
basketball has been my life. I'm good at basketball, I'm

73
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:46,479
trying to do this and that. You leave LSU and

74
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:49,360
you go back home, and then all of a sudden

75
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,360
you decide, hey, let's just try a new sport.

76
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 6: How did that? How'd that come about? So the reason

77
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,680
why I had to go back home was my mother

78
00:03:55,719 --> 00:03:58,759
got sick. Okay, so I had to come home, and

79
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,199
you know, it was around the COVID era, so a

80
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,520
lot of stuff was shut down and the vision for

81
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:06,080
basketball was no longer it. So I was just going

82
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,960
to try to get a job and just try to

83
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,879
find my way in life.

84
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:10,639
Speaker 1: And you know, with COVID you couldn't even do that.

85
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 6: So then one day me and my brother was in

86
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,879
the backyard throwing the football round. He was like, look, bro,

87
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,360
you might as well do this. You ain't, so I'm like,

88
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:19,839
I mean, I guess why not?

89
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:20,639
Speaker 1: So then.

90
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,439
Speaker 6: I started like working out running rouse with my brother.

91
00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:26,600
He taught me how to run my first ever route,

92
00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:28,680
which was a slant route. I didn't know how to

93
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,480
do anything hurt. So the end up been rolling to

94
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,920
the University of Houston. I tried to walk on there,

95
00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:36,319
but you know, around COVID time, a lot of guys

96
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:38,360
got that COVID year, so they came back right so

97
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,399
they told me there was no more roster spots available

98
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:42,000
for me. So then I was like, well, I got

99
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,920
to figure out a way of how, you know, I

100
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,879
get some tape because I don't have any high school

101
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:47,800
take to get on the college roster. So then I

102
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:50,199
ended up uploading some routes on air onto Facebook, and

103
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,160
there was a guy named Adie Franca who has a

104
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:54,959
flag football team out of Miami, Florida. He was like, look, bro,

105
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,680
we got a tournament in Vegas. You might as well

106
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,800
come out. Let's see what you got. So I went

107
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,759
out there, I did my thing, and I ended up

108
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:03,000
getting the opportunity to be on the Olympics for flag football.

109
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,399
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah wow.

110
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,639
Speaker 6: They told me for I to do that, I would

111
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,839
lose all my college jus ability. Yeah, And I was like,

112
00:05:07,879 --> 00:05:10,279
you know, my goal wasn't to play flag football like

113
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,240
right college football. So then Eddie Franca actually knew a

114
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,720
guy named Shorts do Shorts is the office of quality

115
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,720
control coach for the forty nine ers Right and at

116
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:21,720
the time he was at Maszoo. So I formed like

117
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:24,079
a highlight tape together my flag football clips.

118
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: Eddie helped me get.

119
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,879
Speaker 6: Into Deuce andduce it to like Mazoo, and a couple

120
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:30,399
other schools and a lot of schools were all interested

121
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:30,600
in me.

122
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: But the only thing was that.

123
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,399
Speaker 6: I never put on short pass my life, right, Yeah

124
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:37,439
that was a fly yeah yeah, So it made sense

125
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:40,199
it was valid. So then my my film ended up

126
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:42,439
getting into Nickel State, and that was my first goal.

127
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,560
I was at in twenty twenty two, so they took

128
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,560
the chance from me. I walked on there the first

129
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:48,560
year I was there. I was ineligible because I switched

130
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,720
my major like four or five times in school and

131
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:53,319
I didn't have enough credit towards the designated major. So

132
00:05:53,399 --> 00:05:55,920
twenty twenty three year came around still a walk on.

133
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,720
I was a starter at the beginning of the season.

134
00:05:57,759 --> 00:05:59,360
I ended up missing the game because I had an

135
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,240
ankle injury. I had sprained my right ankle. So once

136
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:04,000
I came back, I kind of just lost my spot.

137
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,959
Speaker 1: You know, you know that goes. So then I had

138
00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:08,879
to figure out what to do.

139
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 6: So I entered the transfer portal and the n CUBA

140
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,040
told me that I had no more D.

141
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: Want elgibility left.

142
00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 6: So I was like, well, you know, I kind of

143
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,680
gotta go down. I only had D two D three

144
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:20,879
years left, right, So then I.

145
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: Didn't know that's the thing that.

146
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 4: Was like something you only had so many in this

147
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,839
but you could go down.

148
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, And they said that because since I enrolled into college,

149
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,000
my clock has started always been a four time student.

150
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:34,439
Speaker 1: Gotcha.

151
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 6: So then Eddie, the same guy who ran the flag

152
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,720
football team, knew my head coach Jeff Barman, who's not

153
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:45,199
a head coach for Bucknell at John Carroll and coach

154
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,000
B hit me up and it was like, look, tal like,

155
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:49,279
we love your film. Like within the first thirty seconds,

156
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:49,920
he knew, like.

157
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:51,199
Speaker 1: You know, he wanted me as a player.

158
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,399
Speaker 6: And I don't know if people noticed, but John Carroll

159
00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:55,360
has over forty plus lums in the NFL.

160
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: We were going down the list, don't you little incredible?

161
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,319
But you have to do like when you started talking

162
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:04,800
to him like, all right, we got a google best,

163
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,079
we got to see what.

164
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 6: I started googling it, and you know a lot of

165
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,879
people don't know about that school, and I saw like

166
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,959
Nick Casserio, Frank Wrosses, like people down the street. That's

167
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:14,959
John Carroll Lombs. And then they play with my head

168
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,240
coach as well. You know, Brian Poland is my a

169
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,839
d who is now the head coach?

170
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,319
Speaker 1: Yeah he was.

171
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, So then he sold me on that. And then

172
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,199
after that, I'm like, shoot, I'm going to John Kelly.

173
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,560
You know you can get that's right. Then the rest

174
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:29,399
was history after that.

175
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,279
Speaker 1: How was that going up to Ohio? It's in the

176
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:34,720
Cleveland area. Yeah, yeah, you know it's beautiful.

177
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:38,279
Speaker 6: It's just too cold, you know, coming from Houston going

178
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:41,399
to Cleveland, that's just a big weather weather shop me.

179
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,720
But I mean other than that, you know, I had

180
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:44,720
a great time up there, and you know, it just

181
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:47,000
was a blessing to my coaches to you know, take

182
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,160
the chance on me and let me like mess up

183
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:51,079
to learn the game. You know, I really had to

184
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:52,879
get my feet wet, and I think they let me

185
00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:53,199
do that.

186
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you were there for two years. Yeah, I

187
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,480
was there for two years. Yeah. Yeah, So like we've

188
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,439
seen we've seen the I felt basketball players that were

189
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:03,879
college basketball players that never really played that go and

190
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,759
have success in the NFL. Well, you've kind of been

191
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,720
playing now you've been playing football. How was it like

192
00:08:08,759 --> 00:08:11,360
the first time you put that helmet on, that shoulder pads?

193
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,920
You know, you say your brother taught you how to

194
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:15,040
run a slant route in the yard, you know what

195
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:17,120
I mean? Like that was had to been like a

196
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,439
steep learning curve because it's you know, even the basketball

197
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,439
players in college that have gone to play in the

198
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:25,279
NFL at least say I think they played high school ball,

199
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,879
you know what I mean? But come like first time out, Like,

200
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,800
how was it like? Were you able? Like how was

201
00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:31,839
your coach? Did you have any coaches that were just

202
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:33,919
like this guy was like a catalyst for me to

203
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,000
like learn the position.

204
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,759
Speaker 6: Well, first off, when I first put on shoulder pads,

205
00:08:38,759 --> 00:08:40,159
I remember I was in the locker room. I had

206
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,440
asked the guys like how do I how do I get?

207
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,159
You know, I got a few trainers that help me

208
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:53,039
along the way. A footwork King, he's actually a football

209
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,919
trainer out in Houston, Texas. And then there's another trainer

210
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,279
named Timboute with three six nine sports and fittingess he

211
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,320
held me along the way. But as far as like

212
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,200
releases and stuff like that, I kind of just when

213
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,799
I got to Nicholas, they used to come to YouTube

214
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,600
because a lot of the stuff I picked up off

215
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:08,120
for y yeah.

216
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:08,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

217
00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 6: Now, as far as like learning the smartest of the games,

218
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,480
my receiver coaches along the way and my head coaches,

219
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,240
I used to send them like text messages one and

220
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,960
two o'clock in the morning, just asking them, like, you know,

221
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,240
how do I learn this rope call? Except but I'll

222
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:23,200
watch old spring clips of people that it wasn't even me,

223
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:25,000
it was just other players in the past, and just

224
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,279
will learn from their mistakes and just you know, take

225
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,879
what they did right, and take what they did wrong

226
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:30,759
and apply it to my game. So you know, I

227
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,320
knew what to do once I got in the game.

228
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:35,360
So I think just over time, I think applying myself

229
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,840
and using the resources around me, because that's the one

230
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,720
thing I didn't do in basketball. I always kind of

231
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:42,600
just let my athleticism get by, and I think once

232
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:45,879
I failed in basketball, I knew exactly what to do correctly.

233
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:47,879
Once I got the football like I had to use

234
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:50,559
you know, the people around me that were willing to

235
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,080
help me. So I think that's just what helped me overall.

236
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 5: So you went to another All Star game, correct America,

237
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,039
and that's how they heard about you. I think Drew

238
00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:02,919
Fabian was telling his story that he started getting calls, Hey, Drew, like,

239
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,240
you've got to have this guy down and look, I

240
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,240
know he played Division III, but just trust me, you

241
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,480
got to have down here. So for you, you go

242
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,720
to that game, you probably think that that's it and

243
00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:13,480
you're just going to continue to get ready for the

244
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,639
draft and probably didn't think you'd end up here in Mobil.

245
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

246
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 6: So I mean shout out to coach Scott Phillips first,

247
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:21,919
because you know, he's the director that the American Ball

248
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,039
so you know, I just want to thank him for

249
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,559
letting me come out there and do my thing.

250
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:27,159
Speaker 1: You know.

251
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 6: Once that happened, I kind of I'm a big like

252
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,600
journalist guy. I need to manifest and put all my

253
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,840
goals and stuff into my journal and I write it

254
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:36,799
as if it already happened. So I think the main

255
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,600
thing for me was like I just believed in myself.

256
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,639
I went out there and did my thing.

257
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: And I remember the.

258
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,519
Speaker 6: Morning of the American Game, the American Bowl game, Coach

259
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:45,600
Scott called me. I was like, are you ready to

260
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,240
catch some pass for me today? And I was like, yeah,

261
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:49,000
he's all right, good because you just got to invite

262
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,320
to the Senior Bowl.

263
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,399
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, like you know, my heart shot.

264
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,519
Speaker 6: I was like, okay, Like everything I've been asked for

265
00:10:55,639 --> 00:10:59,240
is really happening. So you know, you know, it's a

266
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:01,159
blessing I'm here. I mean, I want to think Coach

267
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,919
Drew for you know, let me come here and just

268
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,519
showing my abilities and showing, you know, everybody that you know,

269
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,639
I can hang with the best of them, even though

270
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:09,399
I've just been playing for two and a half years.

271
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know they don't saying iron sharpens iron, right,

272
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,039
So you're getting a chance to sharpen your skills and

273
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:19,240
learn different release techniques, getting out of in and out

274
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,919
of break techniques against the best of the best, right, Like,

275
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,159
you can't get any better than this competition right here.

276
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,919
How do you think you've improved, you know, through the

277
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,559
American Bowl and then this week it's going against the best.

278
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:32,480
You got one thing to do, Like, there's only one

279
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:34,600
option you get better or you get beat right, So

280
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,600
it's like, have you what you've seen this week? Do

281
00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:41,080
you see yourself improving already? Yeah? I see myself improving

282
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:41,480
big time.

283
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 6: You know, coming from Division three, you don't really see

284
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,000
press man coverage, like especially with me.

285
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: I got a lot of cloud coveras gonna beverage me. Yeah, yeah,

286
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,200
they backed off me.

287
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 6: So coming out here it was like I won some reps,

288
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,759
I lost some reps, but the reps that I've really

289
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,440
learned the most from the reps that I lost, because

290
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,679
it's like, Okay, I know exactly what to do next

291
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,399
time or when I go back home, I know what

292
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,320
part of my games I need to clean up. It's

293
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,600
just I haven't really been able to test like my

294
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:09,519
releases against man coverage and stuff like that, because like,

295
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,679
you know, I didn't see that at all the two

296
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,159
years I've been playing in John Carroll. So you know,

297
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,080
I've just been you know, not being myself about beat

298
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,120
myself up about it. You know, these guys are talented

299
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:21,639
as well, and I just you know, I got to

300
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,279
take it for what it is and just keep improving

301
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,320
my game, keep elevating.

302
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,039
Speaker 5: What have the meeting has been like for you all

303
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:28,840
thirty two teams are here and you know, obviously they

304
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:29,879
want to get to know you.

305
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you've had to tell your story.

306
00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:33,159
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, a couple of times here before.

307
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,879
Speaker 5: But like, what's some of the feedback that you've got,

308
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,720
maybe from some of the coaches after being here a

309
00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:38,320
couple of days and doing really well.

310
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,039
Speaker 6: That we all bleed red, like, you know, just because

311
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,279
I'm just because I'm Division three. Don't look at it

312
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:49,000
like you know, you know this guy's from SEC or

313
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,840
he's from ACC and like just look at it like

314
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:52,559
you know, that's just another player across from you that

315
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,799
just want a different color helmets. So, you know, the

316
00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:57,279
main thing at first, before we even started practices with that,

317
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,000
the coaches just wanted to see, like I guess how

318
00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:01,600
I was going to compete, like, you know, if I

319
00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:03,440
was gonna hold my own. And I feel like so far,

320
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,039
you know, I've been doing that, you know, so you know,

321
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:07,840
I just trying to be a man of my work.

322
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:11,799
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Well, certainly keep losing from or keep learning

323
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,120
from the bad reps, because that's how you get better

324
00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:18,240
and keep making the players that are there. And I

325
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:21,000
love what you said about like writing things down you

326
00:13:21,159 --> 00:13:22,840
like the power of the mind to say, like the

327
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:25,759
power of believing and and and so what's your journal

328
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:26,399
says next for you?

329
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 6: So I had three steps once I got the American

330
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,320
Bowl invite. It was the American Boat, the Senior Bowl,

331
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,200
and then the combo.

332
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:36,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you know, if it happens, it happens.

333
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 6: If it doesn't, you know, just get ready for Pro

perseverance and the power of the mind and the power

405
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,640
of your mindset and belief and painting a picture in

406
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,640
your head of a goal and not just taking like

407
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,640
the easy road and like what's right in front of

408
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,880
you had goal in mind when he first decided to

409
00:18:04,079 --> 00:18:07,880
go the football route. How incredible was it? We were

410
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,400
just talking about this at break. The kid was offered

411
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,000
to go be on the Olympic team for flag football. Yeah,

412
00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:16,440
the Olympic team. He had never played tackle football in

413
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,960
his life and he just started by playing catch with

414
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,319
his brother. All of a sudden, all of a sudden,

415
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,240
he's getting told no because of COVID, you can't there's

416
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,319
no roster spots, blah blah blah, you've never played tackle football, Like,

417
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,759
why would we make a roster spot for you? And

418
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:33,400
he gets offered to play on the Olympic flag football team?

419
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,519
Speaker 4: Like the Olympics is every kid's dream.

420
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,559
Speaker 1: And guess what he turned him down.

421
00:18:37,759 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, because that would mess up my eligibility.

422
00:18:39,559 --> 00:18:41,799
Speaker 1: Because you don't get you're not eligible anymore.

423
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 4: Probably would be now right you came back then in

424
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,559
twenty twenty one.

425
00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was he said, No, that's not where I

426
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,599
want to go with this. I want to go to

427
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,319
a place that everybody's telling me no right now. But anyway,

428
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:57,400
you can check out that interview on our socials on YouTube.

429
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,400
It was great and we're cheering for hard to cheer

430
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:00,799
for that guy.

431
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 5: I am rooting for him no matter where he goes,

432
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:04,720
even the Raiders.

433
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 4: How about that, even the Raiders. I'd root for that guy.

434
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 5: I would too. Man, what a great story, A great

435
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,680
young man. I love the journal stuff. And great question

436
00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:16,359
by you. He's like, I write down my goals even

437
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,359
before they happen, and like things that I am saying

438
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,160
are going to happen, like who American Bowls, Senior Bowl

439
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,599
combine that many people get the invite from the American

440
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,000
Bull to the Senior Bowl East West Shrine Game.

441
00:19:29,079 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure that happens all the time, the American Bull.

442
00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:33,759
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't know what

443
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:36,279
the hell the American Bull is I know the Hula

444
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:39,079
Bowl and shrine. I don't even know if the Hula

445
00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:41,519
bull is a thing. You're right, I ain't never heard

446
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:42,200
the American Bull.

447
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,599
Speaker 1: I wonder what once we got look at what the

448
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,400
American bole was.

449
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,279
Speaker 5: He goes out there and then gets an invite because

450
00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:48,240
Drew Fabianies. I don't know if you remember Matt, but

451
00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:51,640
on Monday he told us like about the guy that's like, hey, yeah,

452
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,720
they kept telling me you've got to have this guy mobile.

453
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,480
But obviously we didn't know who it was at the time.

454
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,160
Fast forward here on Thursday, we definitely know who it is.

455
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,160
So it's a great story. It's a great example of

456
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,640
betting on yourself, not giving up, not taking no for

457
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,720
an answer, and believing that you are the person you

458
00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:12,920
think you can be. And remarkable story because he is

459
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,359
out here cooking dbs that are power for dbs, guys

460
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,039
that are going to hear their name in Aprils draft

461
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,640
in Pittsburgh and hopefully he gets that Combine invite. Hopefully

462
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,960
they don't overthink it and they give him an opportunity

463
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,559
to go shine on that stage.

464
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he'll be there. I hope.

465
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 5: So you know sometimes the NFL and the combine invites are.

466
00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again like, look, everybody can make a play. Everybody,

467
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:37,640
you know, everybody can make a highlight film and look good,

468
00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:40,359
Like any quarterback can make a highlight film no matter

469
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,119
what your age is and look like Joe Montagna for

470
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,880
a few plays. So like the can go, you can

471
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,160
go make a play, yeah at the Senior Bowl, but

472
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,160
to consistently do it, to consistently be the one that

473
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,759
the play you make is the one that everybody on

474
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:57,160
your team loses their mind and starts in a row.

475
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,440
Yesterday two of them to end practice after having it

476
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:02,160
the first day as well. Yeah, but it's just not

477
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,559
that it's not a fluke, it's the route right, and

478
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:06,960
it's a consistency. And how many twenty two year olds,

479
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,920
I don't know how old he is, twenty three, twenty four,

480
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,400
whatever he is, how many have that mindset of just

481
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,759
what he's doing, so good for him, wish him what.

482
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you said it and it's a good point.

483
00:21:17,559 --> 00:21:20,680
Like Antonio Gates played high school football. Antonio Gates was

484
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,000
recruited by coach Saban to play in Michigan State. He

485
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:26,519
actually like signed with him Jimmy Graham played high school football.

486
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: Like all these.

487
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 5: Guys played high school football.

488
00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: They knew how to put the packs.

489
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 5: Straps and I got a buck with it.

490
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: At Nichols, I had to ask people on the team

491
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,240
how to put the the shoulder pads over there.

492
00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 5: YouTube, so like a completely different story than even those right.

493
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,799
Speaker 1: And that's the other thing he said. His nickname Nichols

494
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:53,880
I believe was YouTube because he was YouTube and releases

495
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,240
and YouTube and like tops of routes and how to

496
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:58,920
put pads on. That's the nickname man.

497
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 5: Very cool, very cool rooting for Tyra Montgomery to get

498
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,960
that Combine invite, And like Matt said, I I hope

499
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,720
he truly gets that opportunity to go to Indy and uh,

500
00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:11,240
you know, showcase what he can do there, like I do.

501
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:11,839
Speaker 1: I don't even know.

502
00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:13,519
Speaker 5: I don't know how he would test, but he deserves

503
00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:15,440
to at least have the opportunity to go out there

504
00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:16,119
and do that.

505
00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 4: And I hope he finds his way. I think he

506
00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:19,640
for sure gets into a camp.

507
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,839
Speaker 5: Hope he finds his way to hearing his name in

508
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,799
the April draft coming up in Pittsburgh.

509
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: So very cool story.

510
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 5: Certainly somebody that's been a standout here at the Senior Bowl,

511
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,960
I mean walk on l s U basketball player, to

512
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,759
walk on player at Houston, to flag football, to you know,

513
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,039
putting together flag football highlights to send to tackle football coaches.

514
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: He didn't even like get the years?

515
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,799
Speaker 4: Was it Nichols as well there for a little bit.

516
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,079
Speaker 5: Got Wally pipped. He said, got lost his spot because

517
00:22:54,079 --> 00:22:54,559
of injury.

518
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: Yep, I know, you know how it goes.

519
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 4: He could have quit about five different times.

520
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:00,279
Speaker 1: Though.

521
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,519
Speaker 5: He's definitely been a star, not only in the national

522
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:08,000
team but here in Mobile. What about some other players

523
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,160
that stand out to you because another smaller school guy

524
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,079
that we had on the show on Monday, Cole Peyton,

525
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,799
has made some really good plays.

526
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:16,599
Speaker 1: Now he's a lefty.

527
00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 5: It's hard to find a lefty where're like, oh man,

528
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,440
that looks smooth. It just it doesn't happen very often.

529
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:25,640
Even the really good lefties does not really look smooth.

530
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,400
It looks different coming out of their hand. But I

531
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,319
feel like he has elevated himself. He's made some really

532
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,160
good throws, some tight window throws, some back shoulders, some

533
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,240
throws to the tight end where he's going to the

534
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,519
back of the helmet of the defender, allowing his guy

535
00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:40,200
to go make a play.

536
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: He made two or three of those over the last

537
00:23:42,319 --> 00:23:43,599
couple of days. I looked it up.

538
00:23:43,599 --> 00:23:45,559
Speaker 4: He's actually projected to be a fourth round pick.

539
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:50,039
Speaker 1: Does he really? Yeah? Yeah, I he certainly looks apart.

540
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,920
He's kind of got some jacked arm muscles. My only

541
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,119
fear six my one knock on him. He kind of

542
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,240
looks like he might have a six pack, And we

543
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:02,480
all know that there's no good quarterbacks that have a

544
00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:08,599
six pack, So maybe not do so many setups. I

545
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:10,839
don't know, it's not confirmed. It just kind of got

546
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:11,400
that feeling.

547
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 5: His is North Dakota strong nough so maybe he got

548
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,720
a six pack from like carrying logs through the snow,

549
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,319
Like maybe he's.

550
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: Got that's fine Russian, But seriously named me a quarterback,

551
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,799
right that Super Bowl winning quarterback Jalen Hurts would be

552
00:24:25,839 --> 00:24:28,920
the only one. Yeah.

553
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,839
Speaker 5: Patrick mahomes famous dad Bod, but usually manning famous dad Bod.

554
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,319
Speaker 1: We could say Jayleen Hurts not very consistent, you know,

555
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,119
so if you're a quarterback, make sure you do not

556
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,000
get a six pack.

557
00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say he's different just because of where he

558
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:48,279
grew up again six to two, two hundred and thirty pounds,

559
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,240
four seven forty ten and one fourth size hands.

560
00:24:53,960 --> 00:25:01,839
Speaker 1: Ye got some mids on him watching practic. Diego Pavia

561
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,960
has been the best quarterback in the on the national

562
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,759
team national team, on the American team. It's kind of

563
00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:12,119
a heavyweight battle right now between nuss Meyer and Luke Altmeyer.

564
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,559
Luke Aalmeyers impressed me a whole lot, really great arm talent,

565
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,960
really handsy, like flips it off the light, real handsy

566
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,839
at the end. Now it kind of gets balls gotten

567
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,799
away from him a couple of times on some high throws,

568
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,000
just kind of getting a little too whippy with it.

569
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,400
But ness Meyer has done a really nice job so far.

570
00:25:31,599 --> 00:25:33,519
He's playing with a really you could you could tell

571
00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:36,160
in his training he's playing with a real wide platform,

572
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,920
real wide base and not having to not stride in

573
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,079
which is what we saw his issues this past season,

574
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,279
trying to change his mechanics, falling backwards a lot, trying

575
00:25:45,319 --> 00:25:47,519
to throw, trying to create some sort of torque, use

576
00:25:47,559 --> 00:25:49,720
his shoulder use his arm, uses legs a little bit, markus.

577
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,319
He couldn't use his abs because of the injury. Well,

578
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,759
right now, what you see now the good quarterbacks when

579
00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:57,480
he used to be you know, you wanted a kind

580
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,440
of a narrow shoulder with bass and you wanted to

581
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,720
stride out to create power. No, it's a wide base

582
00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:04,000
right now. We could look at how Drew Brees played,

583
00:26:04,039 --> 00:26:06,759
Tom Brady played all the go wide base, wide base,

584
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:10,160
and you're all creating your power from one rotational we'll

585
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,599
circle all around you. You're not striding out anymore. And

586
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,039
we see that he's playing with that wide base, and

587
00:26:15,079 --> 00:26:17,799
it also prevents you from going backwards. So it's just

588
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,720
another indicator to me that there was certainly some issues

589
00:26:21,759 --> 00:26:25,039
that he was working through this season. Oh the ball

590
00:26:25,079 --> 00:26:28,880
looks completely different. Oh my gosh. I mean Elandra posted

591
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,680
that picture yesterday of the scoreboard and it kind of

592
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,359
probably pisses lsu fans off a little bit of Day one.

593
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,440
The furthest ball thrown in the air, Nusmier, the fastest

594
00:26:39,519 --> 00:26:45,759
ball throwns Meyer. So Kidney Steel spin it. But certainly

595
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,839
I've been ob pested with all the quarterbacks, all six

596
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,759
quarterbacks certainly look the part deserved to be or Taylor

597
00:26:52,839 --> 00:26:57,480
Green has made some really nice throws. Mechanically, he is

598
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,480
a little bit shouldery but from a mechanical standpoint, it

599
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,160
didn't have like that that way up. He's more of

600
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,440
a guider, but there's a lot of successful quarterbacks that

601
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,079
are like that. He looked a little bit more comfortable

602
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,079
under center yesterday. Yeah, just another day. That first day.

603
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,920
Looked like a baby deer on ice, a little bit

604
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,599
underneath the center. Just so tall. He's six six, My god,

605
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,079
he's he's gigantic, but he's very impressive. I can tell

606
00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:21,680
you those quarterbacks that first time they get in a

607
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,559
situation where they're throwing the NFL the duke, that ball

608
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:31,200
is touched by Heaven for sure, it's beautiful. So they're

609
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,559
spinning it. They're all doing well. But Diego Pavio. I

610
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:36,559
have been impressed with him. He does play with the

611
00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:38,920
chip on his shoulder, and you got to interview him, yeah,

612
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,839
yesterday as well. Yeah, and we're trying to get that.

613
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we're trying to see if we can get

614
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,559
it to play on here. Dennis, wake up so you

615
00:27:47,559 --> 00:27:49,640
can send that to me. Truly, just because you're not

616
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,599
a morning show guy, Dennis, doesn't mean you can't wake

617
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,119
up early. Burg is a worm. He was, look he

618
00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:58,839
was he's been coached. He's been coached, you know, to

619
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:03,200
talk to the media. H He obviously knew CD and

620
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,799
I and played in the SEC and so I think

621
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:06,680
that made me a little bit more comfortable. So we

622
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,519
had a conversation with him, but he still looked. I

623
00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:11,000
asked him. I was like, I know how you play,

624
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:12,720
I know how you are. You got chip on your shoulder.

625
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,519
It's kind of what you know. You use his motivation.

626
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,400
I was like, what do you want to show everybody

627
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,279
this week? He said that I'm the best player in

628
00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:22,079
the class. He didn't say best quarterback. He didn't say

629
00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:24,240
the best player here. He said the best player in

630
00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:26,519
the class. That was the first thing that he said.

631
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,920
So he still believes that he is a starting NFL

632
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,680
quarterback that is better than anybody else in this draft class.

633
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: And you said it. His delivery is tightened up, a

634
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,200
little bit softened.

635
00:28:39,319 --> 00:28:45,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, yeah, you know, no curse words, no curse words.

636
00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:47,000
The first time I spar at diego on where he

637
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,240
didn't trans I had forgotten that we had him at

638
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,799
media Day, I guess it would have been and like

639
00:28:52,839 --> 00:28:55,079
in the first thirty seconds, I'm like, thank god, this

640
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:55,720
is serious.

641
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: XOM not OTV because of but.

642
00:28:59,039 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 5: He's you know, he's been coached obviously you can tell. Look,

643
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,039
I don't hate confidence, and he's got the ultimate confidence.

644
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:08,039
And I also and I told him this, I was like,

645
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,599
he elevates the play of those around him.

646
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,519
Speaker 1: And is that something you've always had?

647
00:29:13,559 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 5: Is that something that just happened at Vanderbilt, because it

648
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,119
seems like everybody around you kind of tries to match

649
00:29:18,119 --> 00:29:21,279
your energy. He has that ability. Now he is five

650
00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:26,359
to nine and he is let's see what's that have

651
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,400
on here? Because you kept saying seven eights. This was

652
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,920
the even lower. It says five to nine and a half,

653
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,759
so down on it. So I don't know, but he's

654
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:38,359
definitely fine.

655
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't like if you can make it old.

656
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,119
Speaker 5: Katie last night I said, She's like, well, how tall

657
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,880
is I'm like, well, he's looking up to me, so so.

658
00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 4: I don't know what that tells you. I think she said, oh.

659
00:29:50,079 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: No, he looked like he's looking at you like I

660
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,319
was looking at some of those tight ends yesterday when

661
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:57,160
I was asking him our four questions immediately exactly tall boys.

662
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, So like yeah, he's he's not a tall fella.

663
00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: But you know what, he's completed more passes over the

664
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,119
middle than everybody else, especially down the field, which has

665
00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:10,720
been impressive. And that the national team, which is the

666
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,680
team he is on, their centers have been so late

667
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,000
snapping the ball, even more so than the American And

668
00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:19,680
so even in these team situations where man, there's nothing

669
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,079
worse than getting the ball late and everybody else is

670
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:24,359
moving except for you. As a quarterback, you're getting stepped

671
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,160
on come from under center. You haven't really done it

672
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,480
much in your career. But he's still in all that

673
00:30:28,599 --> 00:30:31,079
chaotic environment, he's doing the best about still getting his

674
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:33,720
head around reading the middle of the field, and I've

675
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,119
been pressed. He's made more throws over the middle of

676
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,160
the field than anybody else.

677
00:30:38,279 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 4: Will he get drafted in the first I don't know.

678
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 5: He's got six back either, so pretty good, I don't

679
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,839
think so. Will he get drafted in the first five rounds?

680
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: Hmm, I just don't know. I feel like there's going

681
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,440
to be a run on quarterbacks in the fifth, sixth,

682
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,279
seventh round for whatever reason. Maybe maybe he bumps into

683
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:01,599
the fourth. I think he's going to fall in that

684
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:07,880
four to six range, probably, especially if he can if

685
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,319
he continues to perform well here, which he's doing. I

686
00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:14,599
think he looks like the best competitor, elevating the people

687
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,000
around him, making the plays that are there of his

688
00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:20,119
team right now at the quarterback position. That's not a

689
00:31:20,119 --> 00:31:22,839
slight to anybody else. Everybody's playing well. Just he's made

690
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,640
more plays and look more comfortable doing it. So yeah,

691
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,200
I think there's a chance. But I think that fifth

692
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,440
plus or minus one round is probably a good good spot.

693
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 5: Do you like my comp for his career Gardner Minshew?

694
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,920
Not ever like, hey, we're moving forward with Gardner Minshew,

695
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,720
but starter ability. If our guy goes down, we still

696
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:47,920
feel good about where we.

697
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:50,359
Speaker 1: Can get to. Gonna play a long time in the NFL.

698
00:31:50,759 --> 00:31:53,319
Speaker 5: When he comes in, he's got this confidence about him

699
00:31:53,319 --> 00:31:55,720
where it's not having to be a vanilla game plan.

700
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,240
I feel like he can have again. Gardner Minshew's had

701
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:02,400
a nice career. He started plenty of games in the NFL.

702
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,680
He's had some success. Yeah, Goman, he's going to play

703
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,599
for more years.

704
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of quarterbacks that kind of fit

705
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,640
that mold that career path. The one thing that all

706
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,319
those guys do have is being like the epitome of

707
00:32:16,359 --> 00:32:19,200
a team player and the pit I don't know if

708
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,240
he settles for I don't know if his mindset, how

709
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:26,799
he's going to handle not being the guy right right

710
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,480
like publicly and somebody like that. Those are the questions that, yeah,

711
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,359
that people are trying to get answered. Now. Now it

712
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,359
might be great, well, like he didn't handle coming in

713
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,039
second to the Heisman very well. I would say poor

714
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:41,920
to quite poor. Yeah, So that's just those are the questions.

715
00:32:42,079 --> 00:32:44,240
You can tell that he's got a team around him.

716
00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:48,079
He softened his messaging a lot, but he's you can

717
00:32:48,119 --> 00:32:50,480
see I like that you were saying, like he sawved

718
00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:52,240
his messaging, but he still had to get that little

719
00:32:52,359 --> 00:32:53,200
diegoism in.

720
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,839
Speaker 5: The Yeah, for sure, because somebody that I know he's

721
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,160
he said multiple times that he's a big of Johnny Manziel,

722
00:33:01,599 --> 00:33:03,599
and he just went on a podcast with him and

723
00:33:03,599 --> 00:33:06,680
their friends, their buds. Johnny Manziel was never a backup,

724
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,640
and Johnny Manziel had a chance in Cleveland. It was over,

725
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,480
that was it, and Johnny Manziel had kind of that

726
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:15,559
same streak of confidence and you know, believing he was

727
00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:18,160
the best. And to your point, and you've been in

728
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,920
this role when you're not the guy, You've got to

729
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,559
be the ultimate teammate. There had to be Aaron Rodgers

730
00:33:23,599 --> 00:33:26,160
eyes and ears on the sideline right when he came up.

731
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: Still have a job to do, yeah, and it's not

732
00:33:28,319 --> 00:33:30,240
the job you want to be doing, right, but you

733
00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:31,839
still have a role on the team.

734
00:33:32,039 --> 00:33:34,079
Speaker 5: It's when we asked you to play, you got to go,

735
00:33:34,119 --> 00:33:36,920
and you certainly did that and played well anytime you

736
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,160
had to come in. But also when Aaron Rodgers came

737
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,880
off to the sideline, Hey, Matt, what did you see?

738
00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:43,200
You got to give him the best information and not

739
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,599
trying to like take his job at every moment. If

740
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,359
it happened and it presented himself, you go play. But

741
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,039
you got still signals you do like you do have

742
00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:55,599
to do things to help the team win. And to

743
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,599
your point, I don't know if that is something that

744
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,759
would intrigue a dig But.

745
00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:03,079
Speaker 1: We don't know. We don't, we don't, we'll find out.

746
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,519
Those are the questions though, that I'm sure scouts are

747
00:34:05,559 --> 00:34:07,440
coming in this week and trying to get answered. So

748
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,199
but he certainly has done everything on the field this

749
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:17,400
week so far to garner the respect, certainly the confidence

750
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,280
and you know, confidence of someone to at least taking

751
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,679
the drought like he can do it if he throwing

752
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,119
passes over the middle with this offensive line center snapp

753
00:34:24,119 --> 00:34:25,760
of the ball lake. Those all show me that he

754
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,559
is okay making those things that the height should not

755
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,079
be a concern. Yeah, all right.

756
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 5: We will step away. We've got more OTB coming your way.

757

802
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,519

00:37:27,679 --> 00:37:29,400
cannonball head, I love that. Uh.

806
00:37:29,639 --> 00:37:33,559
Speaker 5: For t Bob T number two, Bryce Underwood a bear,

807
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,320
you got an empty diet coke bottle here because you

808
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,199
gave love to Michigan and Bryce Underwood tea.

809
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: So that's what you get. No sauce for you, t Bob. Yep,

810
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,480
there's a little bit of die coke left in that

811
00:37:44,519 --> 00:37:47,119
thing too. Yeah, and that's just to throw at him.

812
00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:50,920
That's the backwasher. Uh yeah.

813
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,639
Speaker 5: So hey, I did make a comment about never cheering

814
00:37:53,639 --> 00:37:56,440
for the defense. If my guy Blake Baker is listening, Blake,

815
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,480
always cheer for your defense, obviously.

816
00:37:59,559 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 4: Just not anybody else's defense.

817
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, go go Tigers. Yeah, but I mean outside of

818
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:11,239
LSU defense. Yeah, defense is all the worst. Yeah, I

819
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,679
tell my got Bobby Carpenter all the time, like people

820
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,280
that weren't smart enough to play on offense. Which guy

821
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,239
go go coach? No, go ahead? This gap or that gap? Yeah,

822
00:38:20,679 --> 00:38:23,239
Seaball hit ball, which kind of brings out the question,

823
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,960
how did Scott a big get on offense? That's a

824
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:29,440
great question. That's a great question.

825
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 5: He feels like a mic linebacker, yep, an old school

826
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,119
like Sam linebacker who would just like playing in an

827
00:38:36,199 --> 00:38:39,599
under defense and just tilt and just wait for somebody

828
00:38:39,639 --> 00:38:40,519
to come hit him.

829
00:38:41,039 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: Yep. He's a guy on the swat teams. That's that's

830
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,800
the doorbuster. He's a juggernaut from X men Cam. Wait

831
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,039
till we get the I don't know what it's called

832
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,840
the battering ram. Now I got it. Put my bike

833
00:38:55,880 --> 00:39:03,320
coming on. Oh man, anyway, can't wait to try the sauce?

834
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 4: Are you talking to from the packers?

835
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:06,679
Speaker 1: Got from you were there? Scout?

836
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I had a chance to see the scout that

837
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,440
actually was like fought for me, probably the hardest for

838
00:39:13,519 --> 00:39:15,559
the charges and draft me still doing it.

839
00:39:15,679 --> 00:39:16,079
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

840
00:39:16,119 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 5: It's like, man, y'all, like I know, like it's a profession.

841
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,199
So yeah, but it's like you're a lifer.

842
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: All the all the scouts that were in Green Bay

843
00:39:24,159 --> 00:39:27,480
that were I told you there was, there's everybody that

844
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,320
gets drafted, they got guys that fight for them. All

845
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,480
the guys that drafted me ended up being gms different places. Snyder,

846
00:39:34,599 --> 00:39:37,079
John Snyder in a longtime GM with the Seahawks, is

847
00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:40,000
one of the regiment Neils with the Raiders, John Eric

848
00:39:40,199 --> 00:39:43,639
who is now the GM with the Packers. I saw

849
00:39:43,679 --> 00:39:47,840
Elliott Wolf who's with the Patriots the other day, a

850
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,880
guy that that was fought for me in the seventh round.

851
00:39:51,199 --> 00:39:53,400
I'm for whatever reason, I'm blanket is name or not.

852
00:39:53,519 --> 00:39:55,480
He was a gym for the Chiefs for a long time. Man.

853
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,840
You can't even think of the guy that fall for me.

854
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,719
It was the Browns. I remember, didn't tell me fought

855
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,719
for me. The Foxhole guy must have meant a lot

856
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,480
to you. He does absolutely speaking.

857
00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:10,559
Speaker 5: You mentioned you said the Browns. There the new head

858
00:40:10,599 --> 00:40:13,159
coach for the Cleveland Browns. Yes, somebody that we know

859
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,760
very well, former LSU receiver coach Todd Munkin.

860
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,639
Speaker 4: That was a long time ago. But Neil Monk left

861
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:20,000
US to.

862
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: Go to the NFL.

863
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 3: Thin.

864
00:40:22,559 --> 00:40:25,679
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, So when he was at Georgia, I

865
00:40:25,679 --> 00:40:27,760
had a chance to talk to him a bunch and yeah,

866
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,079
for sure, he recruited me at Oklahoma State. He came

867
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:33,719
with less to LSU, was there for two years. He

868
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,719
went to the NFL from US. He was always an

869
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,239
NFL guy. He's tried to come back to college. He

870
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,079
was a head coach at Southern Miss and tried a

871
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:43,440
couple of different times. He came back to Georgia and

872
00:40:43,519 --> 00:40:46,159
had success. He was a coordinator during all his championship runs,

873
00:40:46,159 --> 00:40:48,760
but he always finds his way back to the National

874
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,639
Football League. He was the Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator. But

875
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,440
now he is the head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

876
00:40:55,599 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 1: So, man, I got a lot of love for my guy, Monk.

877
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,079
Speaker 5: That is the hardest job, maybe in all of sports,

878
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,559
is the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. I'm wishing

879
00:41:04,639 --> 00:41:08,159
him nothing but the best. But it is an uphill battle,

880
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,559
to say, an uphill battle in like five inches of

881
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,039
snow that has a five inch layer of ice underneath that.

882
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they call it hard rock mining. There. Being the

883
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,960
head coach for the Browns and a lot of the

884
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,559
positions that are to be filled. I think there's only

885
00:41:24,599 --> 00:41:27,199
two availabilities left in the NFL, the head coaching job

886
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,199
that is the Cardinals and the Raiders, and two positions

887
00:41:31,639 --> 00:41:36,239
that you no, you're probably taking that job if it's

888
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,360
always been your dream to be an NFL head coach,

889
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,000
and you'll take anything, but my god, the divisions that

890
00:41:42,159 --> 00:41:44,519
each one of those teams is going to jump into.

891
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,119
Can you imagine if you're the Cardinals and jumping in

892
00:41:47,119 --> 00:41:50,960
a division with the Seahawks and the Rams, and the Niners,

893
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,199
and the Raiders jumping in with the Broncos and the

894
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,639
Chiefs aren't going to be down for long. Chargers. Those

895
00:41:56,679 --> 00:41:59,880
basically three playoff teams basically three playoff teams on each

896
00:42:00,159 --> 00:42:03,880
of in those divisions. So probably the last two most desirable.

897
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,920
Of course, the Raiders probably a little bit more because

898
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,960
they do have the first overall pick. I know they're

899
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,039
completing some second interviews with guys right now, but those

900
00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:14,840
are the two jobs left side munkin to the Browns,

901
00:42:15,519 --> 00:42:17,840
which is actually, if you're looking at it, the divisionally,

902
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,039
probably yeah, not too terrible. You don't have any Juggernauts

903
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:22,679
as of right.

904
00:42:22,559 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 4: Now Ravens starting over at head coach.

905
00:42:24,559 --> 00:42:28,159
Speaker 5: The Bengals should have started over at head coach, the

906
00:42:28,199 --> 00:42:30,000
Steelers starting over at head coach.

907
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:32,679
Speaker 1: So yeah, to your point, and speaking of I know

908
00:42:32,679 --> 00:42:35,360
we're about to go to break, but that press conference

909
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,760
with Mike McCarthy with the Steelers was awesome.

910
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's uh, we can hit on that.

911
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 5: We can hit on that because obviously you'll be able

912
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,559
to give great insight on him and what Pittsburgh means

913
00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:49,320
to him and why he got emotional as he did

914
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,199
in that press conference and when he was announced the

915
00:42:51,199 --> 00:42:54,159
head coach for the Steelers. We'll take a break. More

916
00:42:54,199 --> 00:42:56,559
OTV here live from the Panini Senior Bowl.

917
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,639
Speaker 3: Off the bench, All.

918
00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:01,079
Speaker 1: Right, listen.

919
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:04,559
Speaker 5: Whether it's a big Saturday slate, a Saints Sunday, or

920
00:43:04,639 --> 00:43:08,239
you're just posted up watching ball all night long, there's

921
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,840
one beer that plays every snap, and of course that

922
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,679
is Dough Sekis. Chris smooth, easy to drink. Do Seqis

923
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:17,639
doesn't wear you down by halftime. It stays light, refreshing

924
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,320
and ready for the fourth quarter from kickoff to the

925
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,400
final whistle. Grilling outside or watching with the crew, Do

926
00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:26,320
Sekis is always the right call. So next time you're

927
00:43:26,559 --> 00:43:29,360
loading the cooler, don't overthink it, grab a do sequis

928
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,159
because the most interesting sports day deserves the most interesting beer.

929
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: Oh well you also, how about the most interesting man

930
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,199
in the world. I think he's back, right, Did I

931
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,000
see that reason? I don't know.

932
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,559
Speaker 4: I've always said that was Charlie Whitehurst.

933
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,119
Speaker 1: Well no, it's the dough Sekis guy. Say so, firsty,

Speaker 1: A little bit later on.

967
00:45:42,159 --> 00:45:45,559
Speaker 5: I know Matthew's got a big flag football championship game.

968
00:45:45,639 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 1: Let's go huck.

969
00:45:46,519 --> 00:45:49,079
Speaker 5: Let's go to get to a super Bowl on we

970
00:45:49,159 --> 00:45:51,280
the Bengals this year, the Bingles.

971
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Plead Training Facility, Training Academy.

972
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 7: We got the big super Bowl and not a big deal.

973
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,000
It is a big deal. Actually, that's about saying it's

974
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,880
a huge deal. I hope hook wasn't listening to that.

975
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,360
My gosh, it feels a little bit lighter. It's my

976
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:06,960
high box.

977
00:46:07,559 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it goes quick when it's perfect hydration.

978
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 4: Because Christopher Paul Dorring took about five of them.

979
00:46:13,679 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: That's son of a gun.

980
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 4: If anybody needs to be hydrated, it's Krystal.

981
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 5: Uh No, okay, but I did get onto him.

982
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,639
Speaker 1: He said PDA light in an interview. Yes, say that.

983
00:46:26,639 --> 00:46:30,039
We don't say the P word. Well, stuff tastes terrible.

984
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:35,039
Speaker 5: Exactly, dot Com our three coming your way off the bench.

985
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,639
All right, listen. I know the weather's a little bit cold,

986
00:46:39,679 --> 00:46:41,440
and I know maybe it doesn't feel like it, but

987
00:46:41,519 --> 00:46:43,360
it is baseball softball season.

988
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,519
Speaker 1: We are in the swing of things.

989
00:46:45,639 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 5: Okay, So you if you need a new bat, if

990
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,760
