Speaker 2: Thank you.

30
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 3: So let's start off with this real quick.

31
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:21,439
Speaker 5: We were discussing earlier in the show who the best

32
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,200
offense coordinator is in BYU football history. I've been putting

33
00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:31,599
it out to like coaches, former coaches, former players, media members, uh,

34
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:35,159
individuals that are just huge BYU fans as well, try

35
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,159
to get and there hasn't been a general consensus yet.

36
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,239
I get a lot of people that say, like Doug Skolville,

37
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:44,879
Norm Chow, you know, those kind of are probably the

38
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,040
two lead dogs right now in the fight. But I

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,319
don't know if there's a general consensus.

40
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:54,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I I we were kind of chatting a little

41
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:59,359
bit before. I think Norm Chow is who I look

42
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,359
at until I grew up with as well. I think

43
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,000
I think that a lot of us kind of are

44
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:06,359
are going to be a little more prone to to

45
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,280
who we grew up watching and and you know Kolani

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,680
and a Rod both played for Norm. You know, I

47
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,840
one of the things that I was mentioning that I

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,560
felt like that that Norm Chow brought to the table

49
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,680
that was really intriguing is that he was able to

50
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,639
build an offense based on personnel.

51
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: And when I say that.

52
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 4: I mean we you could have three five ft ten

53
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,439
and seventy five pound wide receivers that round the four six,

54
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:36,000
four seven forty but good routes, and he could build

55
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:39,280
an offense that could be successful around the strengths of

56
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:40,199
the guys that he had.

57
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,439
Speaker 2: And I saw him do it with Ronnie Jenkins.

58
00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 4: You know, he was able to use Ronnie and his

59
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,240
strengths where he may not have done that before. You know,

60
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,639
I don't think we ever had the best athletes. I

61
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,719
think we had really good coaching and I think that's

62
00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:56,120
what Norm chowd did a really good job at and

63
00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:00,599
in fact, talking more than RM chow went when after

64
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,759
he left BYU at deen See State and then to

65
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,400
USC so I had, you know, having played for coach

66
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:12,759
Chow and and uh in the summer was when I

67
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,199
was back in California, I would throw with Carson Palmer.

68
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,319
Speaker 2: So Carson was going to be a senior at Santa Margarita.

69
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: High School, and uh so we'd get to go and

70
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,800
throw and and that dude was throwing fifty sixty yard

71
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:29,159
bombs on a line. And when I said that means

72
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,879
that means I had to jump, stretch my hands out

73
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,520
and pull the ball out of the air and pull

74
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:33,960
it down.

75
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,479
Speaker 2: I couldn't even believe it. Dude, I was. I would

76
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:38,000
go up to my coaches and said, how do I

77
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,680
play for this guy? You know? Yeah, I want to

78
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:41,759
catch his balls.

79
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 4: So when he went, when Chow was heading to SC

80
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,639
and Carson Palmer was there and the whole group that

81
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,759
they had there, it was like I knew right away,

82
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:54,240
And in fact I was I remember telling people down

83
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,039
in Orange County, like Norm Chow is going to change

84
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,199
USC offense simply because they had. Now he's got the

85
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,719
athletes he never had at BYU. Now he's got the

86
00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:09,560
four to three, four to two forty guys, the side

87
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,439
to side speed that is just unreal, and a quarterback

88
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:15,719
that has an arm unlike anything I'd ever thrown with.

89
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,120
I threw a Steve Young before, Carson Palmer had an

90
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,920
armed like so just knowing what child could bring the

91
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:25,519
table in the amount of athletic ability he now had

92
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,319
within his grasp.

93
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: I knew they were going to be successful.

94
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: He came in with Pete Carroll. So Pete Carroll's the

95
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,240
guy that hired him. The first season and O one,

96
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,560
they went six and six. The next year they went

97
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,680
eleven and two with a win in the Orange Bowl.

98
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,600
Then they went twelve and one with a Rose Bowl

99
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:46,879
win in two thousand and three, and they're listed is

100
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:51,000
you know national champions that that season? And then two

101
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,319
thousand and four thirteen and oh were they were thirteen

102
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,399
and oh that was the national championship season as well, so.

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 4: You know another and then yeah, another interesting point about

104
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,120
coach Charlis is uh I didn't feel like when he

105
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:12,439
became a head coach. I thought that was a mistake.

106
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:16,600
I didn't feel like he he brought to the table,

107
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,040
at least for me. I mean, maybe Kevin Frederick or

108
00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:20,360
a couple of the other guys that used to hang

109
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,519
out in coach Chile's office, Yeah, feel a little bit different,

110
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:25,839
but the majority of us didn't feel like. Well, I'll

111
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,040
speak for myself. I didn't feel like when he became

112
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,399
a head coach. That was going to be a good

113
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,199
role for him because being on the back end and

114
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,439
the coordinator side of it, he was not a label

115
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,079
Edwards or a Kolonie Sataki. He had a whole different

116
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:43,360
kind of vibe. So and personabout uh, I'll give it

117
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,959
to him. And I ran into a player at SC

118
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,639
when when he was there, and I was like, oh man,

119
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,639
how's coachwi? You know, I was real curious about how

120
00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:51,879
he goes. Oh man, we hang out in his office

121
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:54,120
every day. It's like he's the best. I was like,

122
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,560
what the hell is this.

123
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: You ask?

124
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,439
Speaker 4: I mean almost any player that well other than Ken

125
00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:05,000
Frederick and Ronnie Jacobs babies. I love you guys, but man,

126
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,639
you didn't really want to go hang out in coach

127
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,560
Chow's office. You didn't want to get called in. You

128
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,319
didn't so to hear that the whole. So I think

129
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,319
as he he developed after BYU was a good.

130
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: Change for him to you let your hair down on

131
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:19,839
two well.

132
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 4: And so so for me to compare, like Aron, right,

133
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,839
if we're gonna continue in down that, I think they're

134
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,279
they're two of the best for different reasons. A Rod's

135
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:31,240
definitely had a more difficult schedule to face. Uh, he's

136
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:33,639
done some things that are incredible.

137
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: As he's a quarterbacks coach too. Right, So Norm Chow

138
00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:37,879
had Robbie Bosco.

139
00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:40,399
Speaker 4: He was our quarterback coach when I was a b YU,

140
00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:44,040
So more roles maybe for Aaron. I mean, coach Chaw

141
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,639
worked with us as receivers quite a bit more. But yeah,

142
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,120
a Rod's developing guys. So it would be interesting to

143
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,360
see what what if a Rod ever was to go

144
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:58,759
to another job and see if he elevates, you know,

145
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,560
because I felt like Coach Chow elevated each time he

146
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,839
moved up until he became a head coach, and then

147
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,079
it was maybe I should stay.

148
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:08,879
Speaker 5: You almost wonder you know what would have happened in

149
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,160
b YU football history had Norm become the head coach

150
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:16,279
of b YU in his play calling prime, right, like

151
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:19,399
if Lavelle, you know, if you would have said, hey,

152
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,199
you know what I mean, like, yeah, and you're going

153
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:23,839
to be a head coach.

154
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: No, I.

155
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: Know he was never gonna be, but like what would

156
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,639
it have been like? Yeah, what it would have been like?

157
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,920
Because he left? Right? He left because he wasn't going

158
00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:34,680
to be the head coach.

159
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,079
Speaker 2: I don't know, I couldn't.

160
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 4: I couldn't see him standing up in front of the

161
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:43,680
team and given us a heartfelt like congratulatory speech or

162
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,120
or or just ended up encouraging us from the bottom

163
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,360
of his heart. It's that's I just couldn't.

164
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't. No, no, it's different. Just that.

165
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 4: That's why I didn't feel like he was going to

166
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:54,480
be a great head coach when he became that, you know,

167
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,240
and should have put a couchy bed on that one.

168
00:07:57,279 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: But uh, it's hard to.

169
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: Win it, sure, sure, sure, But in the end, I

170
00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:08,079
felt like his skill as a coordinator was one hundred

171
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:10,600
percent on point and and that's why I would put

172
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,120
him as my at this point, all time greatest.

173
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,199
Speaker 4: With Aaron Roddick, I would put as a close second,

174
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:18,800
but still with more to prove.

175
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:19,399
Speaker 2: You know.

176
00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 5: Okay, let's transition biggest concern and what's your most optimistic

177
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,560
about heading out to Orlando to face the Georgia Tech

178
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,439
Yellow Jackets right now?

179
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,919
Speaker 2: So I've been watching some film Georgia Tech. That really good.

180
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:33,639
Speaker 3: It's really good.

181
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,879
Speaker 4: So you watch the highlights in some of the parts

182
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:38,759
of the game against Georgia right and what I like

183
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,120
to do is can get Georgia was fourth in the nation.

184
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,240
We played the fifth in the nation, Texas Tech team.

185
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,639
Who's more competitive? We weren't. Georgia Tech was definitely more competitive.

186
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:49,960
It came down to a helm Mary at the very

187
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:53,039
end of the game. They had opportunities to win that game.

188
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:55,840
We did not have opportunities to win it. Once we

189
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,240
got past that three minutes in the third quarter, it

190
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:02,759
was gone. So much more competitive game, and so it's

191
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:05,159
going to be a real test for our defense for

192
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,919
a coach, for Jay and for the defensive staff to

193
00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:11,919
put together a game plan to stop these guys.

194
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: They're very good. But then you go back and you

195
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:16,440
watch their game against Pitt.

196
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 4: And you're like, who tail the two teams and two

197
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,399
games back to back, right? I mean they were down

198
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,840
twenty eight zero in the first half, you know. Now

199
00:09:23,879 --> 00:09:26,679
they came back twenty twenty fourteen I believe at halftime

200
00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:29,360
and ended up losing that game. But they did not

201
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:32,559
look so they played up to the hype for the

202
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,519
Georgia game. Now it was a granted we got a

203
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,679
rivalry game, you know, so I would expect the same

204
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,559
thing out of us if we were against Utah in

205
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,600
a similar circumstance.

206
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: But you know, I think that they're very good, and.

207
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:48,399
Speaker 4: Their ranking is because of the end of the season,

208
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,440
not because of how they started. The only other comparable game,

209
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:54,080
right is Colorado, and both of us played them in

210
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:56,159
the very beginning of the yearn I think that it

211
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,080
was still a feeling out process for both teams to

212
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,000
get to know their uh what what their strengths.

213
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: Were and whatnot.

214
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 4: And and so they beat they beat Colorado by seven, right,

215
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,639
and uh but yeah, I think that we're both completely

216
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:11,600
different teams than when we both played Colorado.

217
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be a fun game, but it's it's

218
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,679
a statement game again. You know.

219
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: Last year it was against Colorado, we had that same

220
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,639
feeling like we we need to come out and and

221
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,440
not just win, but really put these guys away. And

222
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,919
and they did that, and that that springboarded what I

223
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,600
feel like this the season. It started right after the

224
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,879
end of that game. And so my expectations we do

225
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:34,879
the same thing and.

226
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,639
Speaker 2: And maybe we pull in that linebacker out of Texas jumping.

227
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: Jack Kelly's spot. Yeah, I mean, there's so there's a

228
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,240
lot a lot of opportunity and and but let's let's

229
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,799
see what we can do, and we we got to

230
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:49,679
play hard and and it's not going to be it's.

231
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be an easy game by any means.

232
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: It sounds like Georgia Tech is all in and everybody's

233
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,480
playing and so far we as far as I've heard

234
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:00,200
by us as well, this.

235
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: Is a good Georgia Tech team, Like there's no doubt

236
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:02,399
about it.

237
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:04,919
Speaker 5: And so last it's it's akin to what you experienced

238
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,600
last year in the alim with with Colorado and getting

239
00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:10,279
a win versus a top twenty five team.

240
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: And maybe it's a little bit even last year. Maybe

241
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,559
is a little bit more.

242
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 5: Powerful because of Shador and Travis and yeah, yeah, but

243
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,080
but it's still a quick I think there's some equivalent

244
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:25,519
set there.

245
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 3: So how does that play?

246
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 5: I think that win, I think that win really mattered

247
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:34,639
to Cougarnation because, b what, you had lost two games

248
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,320
at the end of the season, and so if you

249
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,519
lost to call out on the Alimble Bowl, then that

250
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:42,960
b way you fans would have been a little bit disheartened,

251
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,279
disillusion with the season even though you won. Even though

252
00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:51,360
you won games have a quadrupling of people calling yea, yeah, yeah,

253
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,559
I mean the whole no doubt.

254
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, But but I think that we're in a great spot.

255
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,159
Speaker 5: With how how impactful is that then at the end

256
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:02,519
of how for all these Bowl games right too, like

257
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,159
the fan donor well being of the future, right like

258
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,440
going into the offseason, even that even the team as

259
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,279
a whole, their well being, their mindset, you know, their motivation.

260
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 4: I think the top twenty five Bowl games mean something.

261
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,360
I think that the fan bases see it as a

262
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:26,159
big game and opportunity. Ye watch the Boise State Okay,

263
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,919
what were they like eight thousand fans there?

264
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: I mean it was almost embarrassed.

265
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 4: I felt bad for the players that they're put in

266
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,200
that situation, the big, beautiful stadium and no fans, you know.

267
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: So I guess that's the end of that Bowl anyways

268
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:36,840
this year.

269
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 4: But uh, I think for the teams that are the

270
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,879
top twenty five games, they're competitive games. You have two

271
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:46,039
teams that feel like they probably should have had a

272
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:49,440
better year, even though they both had really good seasons.

273
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,759
They feel like they should have, you know, surpassed one

274
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:54,240
more step and and so I think it'll be fun.

275
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,639
Speaker 2: It'll be a good game for BYU to to come out.

276
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:59,919
Speaker 4: And and show, hey, we can still dominate, and I

277
00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:02,039
expect him to go out and dominate. This needs to

278
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,240
be another statement going into the off season where these

279
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:09,240
these guys can come out and work hard, uh and

280
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:11,320
get ready for next year. But I think it's gonna

281
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,159
be a great showcase for the seniors and I'm as

282
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,120
happy they all get an opportunity to play one more game.

283
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: Opt outs? Do you think there's gonna be opt outs?

284
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 5: Where do you think? Where do you you predict opt outs?

285
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,519
L J was a little bit coy with us. Wasn't

286
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:25,360
over to the declarative about playing in the game.

287
00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 4: Well, you know, if you're not declaring for the draft,

288
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,519
it's a mistake not to play, in my opinion, right

289
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,919
if you're declaring for the draft, and you know that

290
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,080
now without without putting everything out there, I don't think

291
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:43,720
decisions are made right now. I think they typically are

292
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,320
made in January and going into February, and you go

293
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,600
into your your pro days and you really see.

294
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 2: How you show out and and see.

295
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 4: Who's had interest to you, where you think you might

296
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,200
go in the mock draft, and and so sitting out

297
00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:59,399
right now doesn't feel right to me. For players that

298
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,960
are juniors that are questionable and guess what, what better

299
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,240
opportunity if you are going to go out.

300
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: To go have a statement game right now?

301
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,639
Speaker 4: Because because if you're a junior, you're not playing the

302
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,440
Senior Bowl and you're not playing in any of.

303
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,879
Speaker 2: Those extracurricular deals. So this is it.

304
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 4: You know, you have an opportunity to go in and

305
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,840
put a statement on a good team, go rush for

306
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,120
one hundred and forty yards, you know, really really put

307
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:23,200
your stock up in the NFL.

308
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,519
Speaker 2: That's you're planning. But if you're planning on coming back,

309
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:26,759
you should be playing on hundred percent.

was thinking music and I was starting to rack my

335
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,360
favorite vehicle.

336
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:36,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's crazy.

337
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,879
Speaker 4: Is I'm not really a car guy, you just you know,

338
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:42,399
I it's it's been a good opportunity for for a

339
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,360
long time. And the nicest car we ever had was

340
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,080
in my shopping California. We had the brand new Ford GT.

341
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:52,279
But I was more impressed with the truck that got

342
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,559
delivered on. It had a full bed that came up

343
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:57,919
and went down and mirrors all inside it. I thought

344
00:15:57,919 --> 00:16:00,440
that was cooler than the the one point a million

345
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:06,200
dollars for gt. Yeah, but it's yeah, not as much

346
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:08,639
up here. We're getting those supercars.

347
00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:10,960

00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,759
