got invited to the Senior Bowl, so I finally made it.

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,000
I excited to get the week started. We are here

42
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,039
at the Convention Center here in Mobile, Alabama, and yeah,

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,280
it's an early morning, and let me tell you, it's

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,599
a cold morning, and I know we're all feeling and

45
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,919
everybody in the country is feeling it. I think it's

46
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,879
a little bit warmer here than it is back home

47
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:39,159
and baton rouge. So I think schools are canceled. I

48
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:42,000
hope everybody has a safe little uh stay safe today,

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,400
stays warm and yeah we're feeling it, but we're walking

50
00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:48,120
over this catwalk right here from the parking garage. Who

51
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:51,400
that wind was whipping through got me feeling like, you know,

52
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:54,039
football weather a little bit. So I bet these I'm

53
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,080
excited ask these ask these players if they've especially a

54
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,560
lot of these guys from the South. We just saw

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,680
saw Robinson walking around quarterback at Baylor from Lubbock, Texas.

56
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,000
So excited to kind of see like, hey, have you

57
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:09,080
played in like you know, maybe not half the teams

58
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,280
but a decent portion of the teams that could pick

59
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:13,719
you or you could play for in the NFL are

60
00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:17,439
gonna have games just like this. So how's that gonna it?

61
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:20,039
Would be excited to see how those guys translate. Excited

62
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,280
to see the practices this week. I'm fired up for it.

63
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:22,879
Speaker 4: I really am.

64
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,879
Speaker 6: Just see the best of the best compete. Like the

65
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:27,680
guys that we've that we've seen walking around right now.

66
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,599
We saw a kid from from Iowa. I think he's

67
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:34,599
about seven foot eight, about five point fifty three percent

68
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,159
body fat.

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,199
Speaker 4: So it looked pretty good.

70
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,319
Speaker 2: I'm saying easy, Paul Bunyon.

71
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 4: Relaxed, save some of the rest of us.

72
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 6: Man. Jeez, it's a flowing red locks, flowing red mullet too.

73
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,879
Speaker 4: Like this guy is who you want?

74
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,879
Speaker 6: Like I don't even know his name, don't know anything

75
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:51,080
about him first round.

76
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,319
Speaker 5: He didn't even have to have like his Iowa shorts

77
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:55,919
on either. It's like, yep, you play for Iowa.

78
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:58,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had shorts on. I think crocs too.

79
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is not coold for him. He's one of

80
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:03,000
the fellas you're talking about his football weather for them?

81
00:04:03,199 --> 00:04:04,159
Speaker 4: Is this football weather for them?

82
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't really know that.

83
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:08,599
Speaker 5: Yesterday's AFC Championship game was football weather.

84
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: We'll leave that up to lasses.

85
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:12,479
Speaker 4: I love it.

86
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:14,719
Speaker 6: It's kind of they can't score any points in the snow,

87
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:16,600
like kind of wimpy.

88
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: That's two cold weather teams.

89
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 4: Get your stuff together, dude.

90
00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: They did not.

91
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: They did not.

92
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:26,639
Speaker 2: It was the final thirteen seven. Yeah, the Broncos scored

93
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,360
first drive out.

94
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 6: I think it's ten seven at half right, Yeah, feels right.

95
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 2: I know the Broncos scored like they went down and drove. Yeah,

96
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,199
he hit the big play drive.

97
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 4: They got it.

98
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 6: They scored because both teams went out you know, maybe

99
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:41,600
not three now, but both teams punted first drive.

100
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 4: Broncos scored on.

101
00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,439
Speaker 5: Their second possession for like a fifty something yarder and then.

102
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 6: Yeah and Bronco's case stdam gave them, gave them a

103
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,600
possession inside the twenty with a kind of a he

104
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:55,759
boothed it a little bit, a little lateral. Oh my god,

105
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,839
what was he doing. I don't know, he's trying to

106
00:04:58,079 --> 00:04:58,920
trying to make a play.

107
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess, just out that guy.

108
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: I get it, but just take the sack.

109
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 6: He looked good early on, but I was did not

110
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,120
give him the opportunity to watch the second half. I

111
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,160
was enjoying a little father daughter dance yesterday and I

112
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:14,519
wasn't gonna obviously miss that for anything in the entire world,

113
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,120
and so I didn't didn't care to watch the NFL

114
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:17,800
game yesterday.

115
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: Didn't geared to it.

116
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: All. I was dancing. I was to the left, to

117
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:21,920
the left.

118
00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: Oh we did the with a cupa shop.

119
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 6: We did a little oh yeah, we're getting down.

120
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 5: Look, I heard you did great, Lacey even said O

121
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,040
wife said you did great. You know if you didn't

122
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,079

123
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,319
Speaker 4: But got together.

124
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:41,959
Speaker 6: They had a little get ready party all the all

125
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,879
the little girls in lower school got together, painted their faces,

126
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,079
had some drinks, had some They had drinks.

127
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: Oh it was Shirley Timples.

128
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,759
Speaker 6: Okay, said that, Yeah I did.

129
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: I kind of said it. I was like, obviously, what

130
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,759
not me water all days? We had a late night

131
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,519
drive last night.

132
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah you did.

133
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 5: You said somebody offered you a cold pop at two

134
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:05,240
thirty and you said not.

135
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 6: Today today got to get to the senior ball for

136
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,879
the first time.

137
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,639
Speaker 2: And you have to drive because you have a baby tummy.

138
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:12,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do.

139
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 6: I'll suffer. I suffer from two things in life. One

140
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,079
is diagnosed squirrels here. The other is camp ride in

141
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,079
a car for five minutes without getting car sick.

142
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,399
Speaker 5: Airplanes were good though, We're good on it. Okay, Yeah, yeah,

143
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:30,759
fair enough, fair enough, all right. So we are going

144
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,040
to be here all week long, and sometimes players will

145
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,319
come in come out like there's no schedule time. As

146
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:39,040
far as I really even if it is a schedule time,

147
00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:39,800
I've been here.

148
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: Enough times to know that that might not be how

149
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,439
it plays out.

150
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 5: But obviously we're gonna get all the LSU players that

151
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:50,959
are here. I believe the final list has three LSU

152
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:51,759
players on it.

153
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:52,399
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

154
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 4: We looked at that. That's what I was checking.

155
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 6: So the kind of the list was fluctuating the last

156
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,160
couple of weeks. By the like into last week, I

157
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:04,360
think we had five, but currently only three players are

158
00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:07,240
set on the roster. I guess this has to be confirmed, right,

159
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:10,600
So Garrett Nu'smyer, Barry and Brown, Aaron Anderson are the

160
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:13,480
three LSU Tigers that are at least on the roster

161
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:17,560
as of right now, you know, late drops, late additions

162
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,120
probably happening up until today.

163
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 5: Right, I'm gonna try to see if we can ask

164
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,120
because Molly Middleton, who's in charge like of all the

165
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,600
PR media stuff, Like, I'll ask her because Jack Pibrin

166
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,759
and aj Halsey with the other names and man, and

167
00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:34,600
it's no respect to Jack Pipern, but I will see

168
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,079
a J Hawsey like, right, that was one of the

169
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:39,600
players I think I was most excited about, Yeah, was

170
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:40,720
to have him and to see him.

171
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I don't even know what kind of his

172
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:45,839
stock is right now, what the what the communication is

173
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:47,920
about him.

174
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 4: He's played a lot of football, and he's played a

175
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,480
lot of really good football.

176
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 6: Doesn't really have anything to come out here and prove.

177
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:57,120
I guess everybody really does. You got something to prove.

178
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,319
But I think he's put a lot of game tape

179
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:03,199
on film that is going to overshadow probably anything that

180
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,000
he could do here currently.

181
00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: So but of course I would love to see him.

182
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: On the phone. Yeah, typically like a guy like aj Halsey,

183
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,319
if you if you get some good news, like some

184
00:08:14,439 --> 00:08:18,000
good grade back, yeah, it's like okay, well you know,

185
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,040
maybe I don't have to go there.

186
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 5: So again, we'll we'll get confirmation on how many LSU

187
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:25,120
players are actually going to be here, what that final

188
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:28,720
number is going to be. But very excited to catch

189
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:31,959
up with Gary ness Meyer. And you mentioned Barryon Brown

190
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:35,480
and Aaron Anderson. Obviously you're a big fan of his

191
00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:36,919
and kind of what he brings to the table.

192
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 6: I found it interesting this morning just kind of got

193
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,360
the draft stuff. You know, a lot more and more

194
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,840
and more drafts that's going to come every week. I

195
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,399
saw the Nel Kuiper on his list of quarterbacks, said Gartnsmyer,

196
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,039
sitting at four. So a little bit of a surprise

197
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,200
there based on the season and everything, but excited for.

198
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 4: Him and the opportunity.

199
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:55,279
Speaker 6: What an opportunity, golden opportunity for Garrett that's matter this

200
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,720
week here Mobile Alabama.

201
00:08:56,759 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean he might be one of the

202
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:02,000
players that I you know, has the biggest opportunity and

203
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,919
can kind of you know, improve his draft stock as

204
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:05,919
much as anybody.

205
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:08,279
Speaker 2: And I saw just us as LSU people.

206
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 5: Saying that that is talking with Drew Fabiani as the

207
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,039
executive director of the Panini Senior Bowl. So look, we

208
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,200
do have a ton to get to. We're gonna break

209
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,720
early here. Luke Altmeyer, Illinois quarterback, is going to join

210
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:22,919
us when we come back. So like I said, we'll

211
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:24,559
have some guests kind of popping in and out. So

212
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:27,320

213
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,399

got an upgrade.

223
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: So if you're looking for a night.

00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I appreciate you'll having me. Man, it's cool.

248
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:22,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, you said you're training here mobile though, so I'm

249
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:25,480
just pretty easy commute for you, because we were wondering

250
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,120
like this. It's bad weather all over, certainly like the

251
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:30,279
southeast portion of the country that doesn't know how to

252
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,440
handle kind of cold, snowy weather.

253
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: But for you, I just drove across the bay.

254
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,519
Speaker 8: Literally, it was a fifteen minutes. I woke up in

255
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,000
my been, you know, I guess Sunday and drove over

256
00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:42,799
fifteen minutes before telling me all their connecting flights and

257
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,799
canceled flights, and it was I was laid up, chilling

258
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,080
and it.

259
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 7: Just drove over and got a valley park.

260
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:48,919
Speaker 4: So there you go.

261
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,279
Speaker 6: So how was the So since the season's over, Like,

262
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,639
what's that schedule been like for you?

263
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 4: Did you go straight into training?

264
00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 6: You take a couple of days, but you've been in mobile, right,

265
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,759
but it's it. You do a lot of bet agility

266
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:02,360
training or is it mostly man, I'm trained to be

267
00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:03,360
the best quarterback.

268
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, a little bit of both.

269
00:12:04,279 --> 00:12:04,399
Speaker 4: You know.

270
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 8: I finished the bowl game, you know, kind of New

271
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,799
Year's around, then took about five days off and hopped

272
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,679
right into it. So and you kind of hit the

273
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,279
ground run and you go right right into to kind

274
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:17,840
of all encomassing training speed, you know, strength, obviously quarterback training.

275
00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:20,000
So it's a mixture of everything and even kind of

276
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,480
meeting an interview you know prep too, which is probably

277
00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:25,200
the most challenging part because you know, pretty big questions

278
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,159
that you got to answer, which is which is awesome,

279
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,960
But yeah, it's it's it's everything is really challenging and

280
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,759
uncomfortable at times, but you know.

281
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 7: Really really cool and uh so it's it's been good.

282
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 6: Look. I remember when I was training for the combine.

283
00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:39,799
The most random thing we did are the guy that

284
00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:42,480
trainers made us take an improv class, like hacked in

285
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:45,200
improv class. So we were like ready for any type

286
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,000
of question because because the coaches and scouts are they're

287
00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:50,240
they're a little famous for throwing you oddball questions.

288
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: We've been in this process.

289
00:12:51,879 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 5: Though, a team did get in trouble because they did

290
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,279
cross the line I don't know if you remember that

291
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,200
about questions they were asking. So they've kind of they

292
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,279
fixed it a little, but they can't ask you anything

293
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,600
too wild now, it'll try to get you uncomfortable.

294
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll be ready for whatever, hopefully, probably need some

295
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:08,799
improv for sure.

296
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 6: That was a little weird.

297
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,039
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's interesting, all right.

298
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 5: So you transfer from ole Miss to Illinois. You get

299
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,799
to Illinois and y'all had some of the most successful

300
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,879
seasons in really the school history. What was it like

301
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,600
for you though, I mean, being from Starville, Mississippi, you

302
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,720
go to Ole Miss and then you go about like

303
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:29,200
as far away it feels like as you possibly could.

304
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, it was the first time in my life

305
00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:32,480
that I was getting out of my comfort zone, you know,

306
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,799
kind of you know, holistically, you know, kind of the

307
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:37,399
big picture. So it was very uncomfortable at the time,

308
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:39,440
but thank god it was you know, so much growth

309
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,360
and development you know, happened in that time through obstacles

310
00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:44,200
I had to climb over and and uh, you know,

311
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,679
hard times and adversities, but it brought out a lot

312
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,559
of great moments at Illinois. You know, it was so

313
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,639
cool for the community to experience some winning seasons and

314
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:53,879
you know, sold out the stadium a lot, which hadn't happened,

315
00:13:53,919 --> 00:13:56,000
you know, in a whole long time. So it was

316
00:13:56,159 --> 00:13:57,919
just great to see the fans that were you know,

317
00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:00,000
forty of your season ticket holders coming up to you

318
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,639
and just thanking you just for for bringing good wins

319
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,080
to to Illinois. So it was just such an awesome time.

320
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,879
You know, we're the logo of pride and love. Loved

321
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:09,759
where I played, loved the system that I was in,

322
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:12,080
loved the head coach that I've played for. But yeah, uncomfortable,

323
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,240
but man like, uh, you know, thank god that it

324
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,879
was so much character was developed and yeah, and a

325
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:18,799
lot of just fun football, you know, it was you know,

326
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,000
you know, I loved my teammates, loved the way you're prepared,

327
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,639
and a lot of good things happened.

328
00:14:23,159 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

329
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:26,159
Speaker 6: So you talk about loving your system in college, and

330
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,159
so I'm so interested to watch the quarterbacks of course

331
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:33,200
this week in practice, because I think there's a there's

332
00:14:33,559 --> 00:14:37,320
a lot of offensive styles that colleges run right now

333
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:40,720
don't necessarily immediately translate to what the NFL style kind

334
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:43,399
of is a lot of shotgun clap counts and a

335
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,840
lot if you're not taking a lot of under center snaps.

336
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,799
But we were talking before we jumped on here. You

337
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:51,279
kind of have the familiarity with that, you have you

338
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:53,720
do some stuff under center, So like if you if

339
00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:56,120
you have that already in your in your arsenal, that's

340
00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:57,679
a big step up for sure.

341
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,919
Speaker 8: I think that's kind of one thing that separates me

342
00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:01,559
going into the week. You know, a little bit I've

343
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:03,679
played in the Big Ten and then kind of the

344
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,279
kind of the mentality the Big Ten's kind of run

345
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,559
the football, get under center and more of an old

346
00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:10,399
school type of football certainly has transitioned a little bit

347
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,440
to more of a modern spread in the gun and

348
00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:14,720
with your your clap count stuff, which we experienced and

349
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,000
we played with you know a lot, but a lot

350
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,039
of times I was under center, you know, making checks,

351
00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:22,240
making kills and kind of making you know, mic points

352
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,200
and things like that. So like I'm very comfortable with

353
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,080
it under center football. Like and uh, and I'm using

354
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,519
that to my advantage shortly this week, and and I

355
00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:32,159
think it'll show, so I'm excited about it. But yeah, certainly,

356
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,840
you know Big Ten playing that weather more of an old.

357
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 7: School type type of football.

358
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,759
Speaker 8: But like, uh, like we were successful with it obviously,

359
00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:41,080
and and it'll translate and I'm very excited for that.

360
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like the probably the MVP of the NFL.

361
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,600
They were leading personnel this year was thirteen personnel for

362
00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:48,320
the Rams.

363
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,679
Speaker 4: So it's a little bit.

364
00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:52,279
Speaker 6: Different game than across the country in college. So I'm

365
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,480
excited that that, you know, you have that experience under center,

366
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:58,279
so we that that's a like I said, that's a

367
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:00,720
big Like if you're taking us from under the center

368
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:02,799
for the first time since like eighth grade. Yeah, it's

369
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,399
a it's tough, man, I'll tell you what.

370
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:06,799
Speaker 5: So last year, the group of quarterbacks that was here,

371
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,039
like they had not none of those guys had done

372
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,960
it and they could barely get through practice because they

373
00:16:12,039 --> 00:16:14,720
kept fumbling. They had to stay after every day. So like,

374
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:17,360
you having that experience, obviously, Luke is gonna be big

375
00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:19,159
for you. Like what do you want though, to get

376
00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:21,120
Like what's the main thing this week that you want

377
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:23,039
to make sure that you get done? And I'll give

378
00:16:23,039 --> 00:16:24,759
you an example, Like for me when I was here,

379
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,080
i played running back at LSU. But I know it's

380
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,120
gonna pay full back in the NFL. So it's like, hey, Bud,

381
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,559
you got to show that you can do it this week.

382
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,200
So I had like a main goal. What is it

383
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,080
for you that you want to show every scout here

384
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:34,559
this week?

385
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know. Just man, I'm a clean football player.

386
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:37,679
I'm experienced.

387
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 8: I've seen a lot of I've seen a lot of ball,

388
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,600
and like, uh, I seen all the looks, seen playing

389
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,320
a lot of playing a lot of different systems with

390
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:46,120
Kevin and you know Brett viel muntn So uh man,

391
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,759
I'm a fishing player, you know. I do the right

392
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:49,440
things on the field and take care of the football

393
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,919
and and certainly you want to show how strong you

394
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,120
are and and and kind of you can make those

395
00:16:54,559 --> 00:16:56,399
those shows that they make in the NFL.

396
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,679
Speaker 7: But like you know, I believe I can.

397
00:16:57,759 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 8: So I'm not gonna overthink it, man, I'm gonna go

398
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,039
go hack it and play play clean, and play efficient,

399
00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:03,759
you know, and and and say the right things and

400
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,680
do the right things. That's what I've always done how

401
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,519
I've been raised, and so yeah, I'm just gonna enjoy it.

402
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 7: If I enjoy it, I'll be in a good spot.

403
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 8: So but yeah, I'm confident just where I came from

404
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:14,599
and how it prepared me and just kind of bring

405
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,759
that to it and let them kind of have their assessments.

406
00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:17,839
Speaker 7: And I'm gonna compete and.

407
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 8: Keep compete my tail off, and and that's what I

408
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,079
love to do. I love the game, love to prepare,

409
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,039
and so I think it'll put me in a good

410
00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:24,720
spot overall.

411
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, So speaking of competing, and of course there's gonna

412
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,839
be other quarterbacks here, and it's you're gonna get on

413
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:32,359
the field. There's gonna be one on one, there's gonna

414
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,640
be individuals, there's gonna be team driills, two minute drills,

415
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:35,440
they're gonna you know.

416
00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 4: The works.

417
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 6: When it comes to practice, Was there is there something

418
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,119
in practice this week? And I'm sure you've watched Singapore

419
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,759
practices like throughout the years, like on NFL Network or

420
00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:47,119
wherever it is. Is there something that you're looking forward

421
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,759
to the most in practice this week?

422
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 7: Yeah?

423
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

424
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 8: I think just the team settings for sure. Like that's

425
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,119
that's football, you know, like eleven and eleven. The rest

426
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,279
of it's great and all fun, but like running a

427
00:17:57,319 --> 00:18:00,440
clean operation and communicating and making the right plays like

428
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,480
that's that's kind of like the goal of the game.

429
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:04,680
So like if I can operate well in those settings

430
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,640
like that's that's that's a win for sure. But yeah,

431
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,079
like when kind of those individual settings, for sure, you

432
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,640
want to kind of showcase yourself.

433
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 6: Now, did they did they prep? Did they send a

434
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,359
playbook or anything to you all a weekend advance or

435
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,680
a couple weeks in advance to start at least familiarizing

436
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,319
a little bit with the terminalised since you got a

437
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,240
call to call the.

438
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 8: Play Yeah, for sure a couple of days before h

439
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,920
coach Scott Tolzan, our coordinator and so he, uh yeah,

440
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,599
we hopped on his zoom Friday and he you know,

441
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,240
he sent over the playbook fairly you know, fairly simple,

442
00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:31,680
you know, with all the rules and stuff like that,

443
00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:34,880
and so yeah, pretty familiar with it, just kind of

444
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,160
with over running and playing under center a little bit.

445
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,240
So I'm excited, all right.

446
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 6: Well, yes, God, so Scott's crazy. So I was teammates

447
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,720
with Scott and Green Bay for a little while and

448
00:18:43,759 --> 00:18:46,960
he's been on the show multiple times, and so it's, uh, Scott's.

449
00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 4: A great dude. Man, You're gonna love him.

450
00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, You're gonna enjoy it.

451
00:18:49,319 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 5: Uh, Luke, you did mention Lane Kiffing there, you did play.

452
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,880
Start your career at ole Miss where a Louisiana kind

453
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,119
of l s U show. So your thoughts on on

454
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,599
Lane Kiffing and maybe how you think he'll do at LSU.

455
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:02,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think overall he'll tear it up. And he's

456
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:03,480
such a good ball coach.

457
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 4: Man.

458
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,759
Speaker 8: He's taken Ole Miss to a place they've never been before. Man,

459
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:08,759
and that's uh, you know, that's all great to him.

460
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:10,240
You know, I played for him for two years and

461
00:19:10,319 --> 00:19:12,359
just the way he h you know, thinks out of

462
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,960
the box. It's so hard to you know, kind of

463
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,279
pick up a tendency on is like he's he's a

464
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,119
he's as good as he gets from an nexus no

465
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,000
standpoint offensively, you know, the way he plays fast and

466
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,440
kind of like so explosive. So I think he'll tear

467
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,839
it up. Great recruiter obviously, and he'll get good players.

468
00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:29,000
And and thankful for my time there. He taught me

469
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:31,200
a lot of football, you know, certainly he's a quarterback guy,

470
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,359
and and I was grateful to be able to learn

471
00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:35,359
kind of how to push the ball down the field

472
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,720
a little bit and kind of you know, understand that

473
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:40,720
side of the game, which was a great, great helpful

474
00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:41,279
tool for me.

475
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 7: You know, it really was. I learned a lot there

476
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,720
at Old.

477
00:19:43,519 --> 00:19:49,279
Speaker 6: Miss So speaking of talking about Lane and we just

478
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,240
got through like this crazy like portal window, portal season. Right,

479
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,480
you seem like a pretty down deret guy, guy that

480
00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:57,160
could have played like in our day when you got

481
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,680
a four hundred dollars like a scholarship check every mind.

482
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,359
So how was the whole Niol world because it's it

483
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,000
changes so much as a player trying to navigate that

484
00:20:06,319 --> 00:20:09,160
you had you transferred once, but you were at a

485
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,640
decent amount of time, like, so, how was that when

486
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,960
you go into that as a player trying to figure

487
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,519
out if you're going to do this, You're gonna do that?

488
00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:17,759
Are you going to go into poort you cannihilate? What

489
00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:18,640
was that world?

490
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 2: Like?

491
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 6: How was those conversations with your family?

492
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 4: Did you have an agent? Like?

493
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 6: How did you navigate those waters and just stay focused

494
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,440
on the job at hand.

495
00:20:26,839 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 8: It's tricky because it's the first time you're experiencing, right,

496
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,039
making a big ad old decisions like that. You know,

497
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:33,880
with all the money that's being thrown around these days,

498
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,480
and certainly there is you know, there's a lot of

499
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,559
money being thrown around to these kids that are experiencing

500
00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:40,680
that for the first time and their families experiencing that

501
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,160
for the first time, and really these coaches experience for

502
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,279
the first time. So it's all new and and we're

503
00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:47,359
all figuring out at once, and it happens really fast.

504
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,160
So you got to got to make good long term decisions.

505
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:50,319
Speaker 4: You know.

506
00:20:50,319 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 8: It's easy to make these quick materialistic decisions that you

507
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,039
can grab at, you know, these money that may not

508
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,200
set you set you up long term in the right way.

509
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,359
So I try to do that, you know, in my situation,

510
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,440
setting myself up long term doing the right thing, not

511
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:04,200
being selfish.

512
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,319
Speaker 7: So it's tricky, yeah, it is.

513
00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 8: It's it's a lot to be desired for out there, man,

514
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,200
and like, but it's been a blessing, I'll say that

515
00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:14,880
for sure, you know, Like, you know, it's I've tried

516
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,359
to use it in the right way and I think

517
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,880
I have with the people helping me.

518
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,039
Speaker 6: So yeah, there's a lot.

519
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,319
Speaker 8: Of people helped me with family and agents and help

520
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,039
me make good character decisions and like, and uh, yeah,

521
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:27,359
it's it's tricky out there, especially with all the tampering

522
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,599
and that's that's a real thing.

523
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 7: So it's a.

524
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 8: It's a crazy world of football and need some probably

525
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:37,559
some revision, you know. But it's good for US players,

526
00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:39,440
I'll tell you that. Yeah, a lot of blessings, you know,

527
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:40,920
for sure using them in the right way.

528
00:21:41,079 --> 00:21:45,960

531
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,920
US football weather. Is it hot human summer days or

532
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,920
is it what we saw in the AFT championship game.

533
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,599
Speaker 8: I mean, anybody can play in those high weather games, man, Like,

00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:20,839

Speaker 7: Thanks, man, appreciate it all.

547
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 5: Right, Illinois quarterback Luke Altemyer is good enough to join us.

548
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,519
We know he's got a role. He's probably got four

549
00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:46,480
or five more interviews. He had the early schedule of

550
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:49,480
interviews here today. We appreciate men. Look forward to watching

551
00:22:49,519 --> 00:22:52,759
you out at practice. And we talked about it. Man,

552
00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:54,440
it's gonna be a good group of quarterbacks out here,

553
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,640
a lot of experienced guys, a lot of guys that

554
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,160
have done it for a long time. And look, he

555
00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:03,240
is somebody that was a part of the Illinois program changing.

556
00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 4: Right.

557
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 5: They had their most successful we talk about Indiana and

558
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:06,799
what they did.

559
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,839
Speaker 2: Illinois also was winning games at a.

560
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 5: Higher clip than they ever really have before, and Luke

561
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,640
Altmeyer certainly a big part of that.

562
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, they've finished the season beating Tennessee, Yeah in the

563
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,680
Liberty Mutual Music City Bowl. So obviously a lot of success.

564
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,799
And uh, man, I don't know, did we just get

565
00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:25,559
spoiled on our first interview? Yeah?

566
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 4: I think so.

567
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,759
Speaker 5: I think we did all right. So I think we're

568
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:30,680
gonna have one more coming up. So we're gonna head

569
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:33,559

570
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:36,839

577
00:23:58,319 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 5: That you were going to be protected by that whole

578
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,680
home generator. It's more power, it's more protection, and like

579
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,119
we said, it is the ultimate piece of mind. So

580
00:24:07,799 --> 00:24:10,480

588
00:24:25,599 --> 00:24:28,759
a little cocky right now. You're probably people probably treating

589
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:31,680
you a little differently around the neighborhood because well you

590
00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:33,559
might be the only one with the lights on with

591
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,119
the heater running in my god, do we need it

592
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,160

593
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,079

604
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,799

at North Dakota State quarterback joins us.

606
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,039
Speaker 6: Now there's no reason to talk to any other position.

607
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 4: It's all about moderation.

608
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,279
Speaker 6: Always does the fullback.

609
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 4: I want a fullback on the Rosterbud.

610
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 5: There's not one here, but it's okay. We got quarterbacks here.

Speaker 2: We appreciate your time.

613
00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 5: Thanks for hopping on with us and we were talking

614
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,200
a little bit before the show. You're training in Irvine, California. Uh,

615
00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:52,759
so you had to get here probably a little bit

616
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:55,640
early to beat this crazy weather, right.

617
00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 4: That's right.

618
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, we got in Friday night, so been here a

619
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,559
while now, and it's nice to settle in.

620
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,039
Speaker 4: To ease into this week.

621
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can make fun of us down south for

622
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:06,359
this being crazy weather if you want to.

623
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:06,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

624
00:26:06,839 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, you're kind of walking into this week with

625
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,200
a big advantage because this is, like you're tell us

626
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,880
before this in cold deal and this is just kind

627
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,680
of normal weather, so you got an advantage.

628
00:26:15,759 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, and Fargo, there's two feet of snow on the

629
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,480
ground right now, so.

630
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 4: That's raight.

631
00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:22,839
Speaker 2: All right.

632
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,519
Speaker 5: So you're coming from North Dakota State and a lot

633
00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:28,599
of times, like if someone was coming from the FCS,

634
00:26:28,599 --> 00:26:30,799
like we would go through the whole small school blah

635
00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:33,480
blah blah. Like for you in North Dakota State, Like,

636
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,880
y'all don't feel that way because I mean, y'all have

637
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,079
gone against multiple FBS schools, y'all have won those games,

638
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,279
y'all won championships, and that's kind of the standard of

639
00:26:42,279 --> 00:26:43,559
what else football program is.

640
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's there's nothing intimidating about you know, coming in

641
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,000
with and competing versus SEC guys, ACC guys, whatever. It

642
00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:55,599
is like we've always had a chip on our shoulder

643
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,359
and and and we're looking to prove that we're the best.

644
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,079
So that's always kind of been the mindset it.

645
00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:00,519
Speaker 4: Yeah.

646
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, So how is that? So he's your season ends?

647
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,279
And then what's your schedule been like leading up to

648
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,880
this meal? And I know you're you're probably combined training,

649
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,000
speed and all that stuff from a quarterback standpoint, like,

650
00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:16,160
how are you preparing? Uh preparing? Where are you training at?

651
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

652
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 9: So down in IRV, I'm working with a guy by

653
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:23,279
the named Jake Keaps and so he worked with Will

654
00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:26,799
Howard last year. He helps, you know, he's a high

655
00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:29,839
school football coaching Denver. And so the biggest thing for

656
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:35,440
us is so obviously throwing a little bit, but interview prep,

657
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,640
you know, getting on the board, hammer me with the

658
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,200
tough questions when we're gonna meet with NFL teams and

659
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,559
then uh, and then and watching a bunch of films

660
00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:48,200
and learning the game and so those are kind of

661
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:48,839
the biggest things.

662
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,799
Speaker 6: Do you have like your plays like kind of prep

663
00:27:50,839 --> 00:27:52,519
because you're gonna get asked like, hey, if you get

664
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:54,599
cover two, what's your what's your you gotta check, you

665
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,720
gotta cover three.

666
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 4: You have all those plays in your head. These are

667
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,160
what I'm gonna draw exactly exactly what we're doing. That's perfect. Yep,

668
00:28:01,519 --> 00:28:01,880
all right.

669
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 5: So you're a guy who obviously is a dual threat quarterback.

670
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,839
I think you had over one hundred and thirty rushes

671
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:09,079
on the year. So like where you're in a setting

672
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,119
like this where I guess you have to kind of

673
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,119
wait to the game maybe to kind of show exactly

674
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,039
what you can do in the run game. Like how

675
00:28:16,079 --> 00:28:18,559
do you want to make sure teams see you as like, okay,

676
00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:20,880
I can't maybe run practice, so let me make sure

677
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,480
that I show them the armor. Like how do you

678
00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:24,400
go into it knowing that there's a piece of your

679
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,240
game that you can't fully show until the game.

680
00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:29,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a good question. I think it the quarterback position.

681
00:28:30,039 --> 00:28:32,759
There's there's so much to it, and so like, you know,

682
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,799
being a commanding presence in the huddle, understanding my assignment,

683
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,039
understanding everyone else's assignments, and then and then just having

684
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:42,400
fun and ripping it around the yard. I think this

685
00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:45,480
week will be huge Yeah.

686
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 6: This is something that I'm really curious to talk to

687
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,640
all the quarterbacks this week about. Is there's a there's

688
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,559
a big difference between the style of football in the

689
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,279
NFL from a quarterback position. Then most are a lot

690
00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:01,000
of colleges, there's a lot more under center. There's a

691
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,519
lot we see some of the best NFL offenses are

692
00:29:03,599 --> 00:29:06,880
running thirteen personnel twenty one twelve p like, and most

693
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,559
colleges are, you know, eleven eleven personnel usually and it's not.

694
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:13,160
So I'm really curious to say, like, how was your

695
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,240
offense in college? Did you do under center? And if not,

696
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,119
if you is that something you're kind of trying to

697
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,559
train right now and doing.

698
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. So at NSU it was very much a pro style.

699
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:24,559
That's fantastic.

700
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,599
Speaker 2: I have a swear shirt that says fullbacks.

701
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:30,119
Speaker 9: We say, yeah, okay, fantastic. Well, okay, we don't have

702
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,359
fullbacks here. I can call up a few fullbacks from NDSU,

703
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,599
like let's go.

704
00:29:35,799 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

705
00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 9: So yeah, you know, I've been fortunate enough to be

706
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,720
immersed in that kind of system and get under center

707
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:45,599
and run play action and you know, keeper fakes and

708
00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:48,079
do it all, do it all, really make checks as a

709
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,480
line of scrimmage where where we're huddling, and I know

710
00:29:50,519 --> 00:29:53,200
most teams in college don't even huddle, and so right.

711
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 4: I definitely have an advantage. Was this your nap count

712
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,519
and it was not?

713
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, so ironically, that was

714
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,160
our silent cadence if it was super loud, but yeah, yeah,

715
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,200
right right, we used the.

716
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,759
Speaker 5: Verbal ca that's I mean, it's gonna be a big

717
00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:09,759
advantage for you. We're not We're not joking. We joke

718
00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:12,119
about it a little bit, but it's like form, it

719
00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:14,160
should be commanding to be able to point out the mic,

720
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,960
to be able to, you know, get to the second

721
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,880
play if you've got to kill a play, and to

722
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,720
actually feel confident under the center. I mean, we just

723
00:30:20,759 --> 00:30:23,160
had Luke altmeirown and I was telling him the story

724
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,160
last year the quarterbacks that were here, and some of

725
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,480
those were first rounders, they couldn't practice because they kept

726
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,880
fumbling under the under the center and they had to

727
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,160
stay after every single day of practice and try to

728
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,480
get it. So like you coming in with that being

729
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,759
a part of your offense is a big advantage.

730
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 9: No doubt, no doubt. Yeah, I mean it's a big

731
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,960
reason why. You know, I stayed at NBCU for five

732
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:47,079
years and and uh and wanted to go there in

733
00:30:47,119 --> 00:30:49,880
the first place because of the not only the success,

734
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,759
but yeah, that pro style effect.

735
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

736
00:30:54,799 --> 00:30:57,799
Speaker 6: Did you grow up a fan of anybody any NFL team?

737
00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:00,319
Speaker 9: So, being from Omaha, Nebraska, I grew up on scar

738
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:04,359
fan okay for for college and there, and then when

739
00:31:04,359 --> 00:31:08,119
it comes to the NFL, I'm embarrassed, man, all right,

740
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,160
Just my dad was.

741
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: Going up in the eighties.

742
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,839
Speaker 2: Yeah there, yeah, so there you go.

743
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,759
Speaker 9: You know, big Walter Payton fans and and uh uh

744
00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:17,160
so yeah, there you go.

745
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:19,759
Speaker 6: You you lose that fandom real quick though. Whenever you

746
00:31:19,799 --> 00:31:22,200
get selected, you hear your name all by somebody else.

747
00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 4: I grew up a cow I grew up and tell

748
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,400
you group of cowboys. Cowboys.

749
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,319
Speaker 6: After I got was with the Green Bed and I

750
00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:30,240
was like, no, it's not a yeah cowboys, aren't it anymore?

751
00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:32,720
But what what are you looking forward to? Most? So

752
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:35,039
you're doing all this training, you're at the end of

753
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:37,079
the day, you're competing against these other quarterbacks. Of course

754
00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:39,440
you're gonna be friends on they're great dudes and everything,

755
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,440
but it's it's called everything you do from here on

756
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:43,599
outs of competition, right, what are you looking forward to

757
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,839
the most. I'm sure you've watched combine practices before, like

758
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,000
on NFL Network or whatever it is. What are you

759
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,359
looking forward to most in these practices that really show

760
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,119
your skill set?

761
00:31:54,319 --> 00:31:56,559
Speaker 9: I think exactly what you said. It's just compete and

762
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,920
eat and show them the best at the end of

763
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,359
the day. Obviously you know, connect with some guys, learn,

764
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,400
learn and grow and improve.

765
00:32:06,119 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 4: But but compete for sure. Yeah.

766
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:10,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, Did you have any conversations with any of your

767
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,720
former North Dakota State teammates, because there's been a ton

768
00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:16,480
here every year, there's at least one or two that

769
00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:18,960
have come to the game and actually you know, been drafted.

770
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,839
Did you have any conversation with them? Maybe what to

771
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,039
expect this week.

772
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 4: A little bit?

773
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, So, uh, working or being a teammate of Gray's abels.

774
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,559
Speaker 4: You know, Gray was here last year. He's only a

775
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:32,759
year older than me, and.

776
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 9: So got pretty close with him and the s U

777
00:32:34,839 --> 00:32:37,359
and then so we actually are each also trained in

778
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,880
Irvine at the same with the same agency, and so

779
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,759
we've got a connection there. And so I've been in

780
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,079
contact with Gray about a lot of different things. Yeah,

781
00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:47,799
and so he's been a great help and and been

782
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:48,880
rooting for him this season.

783
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,799
Speaker 4: They've been doing well. Yeah, the Seahawks.

784
00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: He had a really nice individual seasons.

785
00:32:53,319 --> 00:32:57,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, Gray has been a great resource. So the.

786
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I got distracted by some almost saying coffee

787
00:33:07,359 --> 00:33:07,680
over there.

788
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 4: We had coffee aet this morning.

789
00:33:09,319 --> 00:33:12,079
Speaker 5: So you mentioned you grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. We

790
00:33:12,079 --> 00:33:14,720
were talking a little bit beforehand. You've gone to the

791
00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:17,200
College World Series a time or two. Do you have

792
00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:19,720
like maybe like a favorite memory, because I was telling you,

793
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,279
like obviously being LSU related here Omaha is something our

794
00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:25,839
fan base certainly appreciates. Ls She was able to win

795
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,559
it last year in Omahall you got any memories that

796
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,400
stick out of your time growing up going to the

797
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:31,440
College World Series?

798
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 9: I do, yeah, And this is this is going to

799
00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:36,359
throw it back a little bit. I remember going to

800
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,160
the College World Series before it was at you know,

801
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:44,759
TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwad Rosenblatz right by the zoo, and

802
00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:48,640
I remember we were sitting in the outfield I think

803
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,160
South Carolina was playing somebody, and we were sitting in

804
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,240
right field and on the first row, and I was

805
00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:58,640
probably ten years old, yeah, and my buddy and I

806
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,200
were messing around. I had a baseball cap on and

807
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,880
it fell onto the field and I remember the right fielder,

808
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,599
I can't remember who it was, came over and like

809
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,639
grabbed my hat and like gave it back to me.

810
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,239
That was the coolest thing ever because I went from

811
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,960
this moment of like total embarrassing. Yeah right, and then

812
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,559
this star right fielder, yeah, you know, grabbing my hat

813
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:19,519
and so I'll never forget that.

814
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:20,519
Speaker 4: And that was that Rosenblat.

815
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was, you're kind of a big deal.

816
00:34:22,559 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: I wonder if that was when South Carolina won back

817
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,719
to back. I bet it was.

818
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,079
Speaker 5: I bet it was doing that run they made, and

819
00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:29,599
I bet it was Jackie Bradley it was.

820
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:30,119
Speaker 2: Is that who?

821
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 4: I think it was Jackie Bradley?

822
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, yep.

823
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:34,639
Speaker 5: So yeah, it turned out South Carolina big league for

824
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:35,360
a long time.

825
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: So that's cool. That's cool out.

826
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:38,559
Speaker 4: Yeah.

827
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:41,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like I feel like I know. I'm

Speaker 4: Uh huh.

887
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it happened. It's not gonna won't be the last

888
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,440
time I blacked out a little bit.

889
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 4: I did.

890
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 6: I thought, so somebody, we have had coffee all morning,

891
00:37:55,639 --> 00:37:59,039
so they don't have coffee. Someone yelled over here. I

892
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:00,760
don't know what they yelled. I thought they held a

893
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,719
coffee and you know me, it's a medical condition. Okay,

894
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,039
I get distracted. I looked over there and I was like, well,

895
00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:10,880
we're still in an interview. And he got done answering

896
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,440
your question, and I was like, I got nothing for

897
00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:15,639
you over there, Bud.

898
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 2: The best part was you like you tried come on.

899
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,679
Speaker 4: I was like, come on, improv classes kick in.

900
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 2: It was smoking and you and you were trying to.

901
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 4: Go up said nope. I pointed at me.

902
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,079
Speaker 5: I bet that's the first time that Cole has ever

903
00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:34,960
done an interview that the coach said nope and no fingerplis.

904
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 4: I ain't got nothing for you, kid.

905
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 6: I'd already asked him, like some of my you know, questions,

906
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,480
I got written down here, so I didn't want to

907
00:38:44,519 --> 00:38:46,960
like reask like, hey, you know, what are you looking

908
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,679
forward to the most? So I had nothing. We saved

909
00:38:50,679 --> 00:38:54,960
it though. He seen varsity blues. That's true. That's true.

910
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: So and then let's see kind of a big did

911
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:58,719
the research and he.

912
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,679
Speaker 5: Said that they be South Dakota fifty one to thirteen

913
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:03,159
that day.

914
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 4: So they beat him.

915
00:39:06,119 --> 00:39:08,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, North Dakota State beat him fifty one thirteen.

916
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 6: We played it a well, South Dakota State, sorry about it.

917
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,599
I love that dude, the coach putting it on. Do

918
00:39:14,679 --> 00:39:17,960
you think he put like the team made for TV version? No,

919
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,320
so they looked they on those like little tiny yeah,

920
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,880
bus on a bus, greyhound TVs. Hey, it's not the

921
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,840
most ideal way to watch varsity blues, but better than nothing.

922
00:39:29,039 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's seen it, so good for them.

923
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 4: He got excited too, he smiled when I asked that question.

924
00:39:34,679 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 2: He did, he did.

925
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 5: So We've asked a lot of quarterbacks through media days.

926
00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:42,880
I bet Luke Altmyer's seen it, though he had a

927
00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:44,920
very I've seen varsity blues filter.

928
00:39:45,079 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well we'll try to catch him. Yeah, when he's walking.

929
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,679
Speaker 2: Back through here, have you seen varsity blues?

930
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 4: Yep?

931
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:53,079
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, we're good.

932
00:39:53,679 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 6: Next we'll report though when we see him, we'll see

933
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,440
him probably running the halls again. We'll get that question answered,

934
00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:02,079
and so I promise you I will not make that

935
00:40:02,159 --> 00:40:03,559
mistake again and forget to ask.

936
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:05,559
Speaker 2: Uh.

937
00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:08,119
Speaker 5: So we are going to sow our plan here this

938
00:40:08,199 --> 00:40:10,679
week is too obviously, as we mentioned in the first segment,

939
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,480
catch up with every LSU player, but also we wanted

940
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,880
to catch up with every quarterback as well. So we've

941
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,400
got two of those guys that we had a conversation with,

942
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,239
Luke Altmeyer from Illinois and Cole Payton there from NDSU.

943
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,280
But if we go back to Luke Altmeyer, he did

944
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,480
mention Lane Kiffin and gave a pretty good endorsement there

945
00:40:32,519 --> 00:40:35,280
of his time with Lane Kiffin. And just so you're wondering,

946
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,639
we also talked you know, off air, and it was

947
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:38,360
the same thing.

948
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 2: So that was a genuine.

949
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 6: You know, quick did not give him a script, We did.

950
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:47,039
Speaker 5: Not, but yeah, he said like off airs, like, yeah,

951
00:40:47,079 --> 00:40:49,280
he's going to crush it there. Yeah, it's like that

952
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,559
guy with quarterbacks in his offense. And how he teaches quarterbacks.

953
00:40:52,559 --> 00:40:55,840
And so you know, I don't know that every old

954
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,239
miss player here that we interview, if we end up

955
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,480
talking with him, will you know, just because they probably

956
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,960
you're still heard whatever feel to.

957
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 2: Burn, that's somebody that's been removed from it.

958
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,159
Speaker 5: And talked about his appreciation for what Lane Kip has

959
00:41:06,159 --> 00:41:07,079
done in his career.

960
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think it's pretty common. Like the what

961
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,840
he thought he talked about Lane was pretty common. It's

962
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,360
like when I asked, anybody we talked to says the

963
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,239
same thing. He's a really great coach. He's a really

964
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,599
great coach. He's you know, you know, off the field,

965
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,880
not like your normal person coach whatever it is, but

966
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,719
like a great coach. And we've seen it everywhere he's been,

967
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,079
the development of quarterbacks that he's seen.

968
00:41:33,519 --> 00:41:35,119
Speaker 4: And you know, we were.

969
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,679
Speaker 6: Talking to a former quarterback of his who obviously went

970
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,639
on to another school and had a lot of success.

971
00:41:39,639 --> 00:41:42,320
And Luc Almer is here at the Senior Bowl. And

972
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:45,519
I like Luke a lot. I like Cole lot too.

973
00:41:45,519 --> 00:41:49,000
These two guys just from a personality standpoint, different certainly

974
00:41:49,039 --> 00:41:50,920
different personalities. I felt like me and Luc a little

975
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,840
kindred spirits a little bit. Yeah, Cole seemed like a tough,

976
00:41:54,039 --> 00:41:58,159
nasty like he looked like, I'm not here to make friends,

977
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:58,719
I'm here to.

978
00:41:58,679 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 4: Whip your ass. Yeah that's what that's what he looked.

979
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,880
That's how. That's the ore that I got from.

980
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 6: So excited to see both those guys. And you know,

981
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,079
I've heard the name Luke Altmeyer a little bit more

982
00:42:08,119 --> 00:42:11,239
than Cole Payton like, but I'm excited to see both

983
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,239
of these guys compete.

984
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 4: I like it.

985
00:42:13,559 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 6: And shockingly, the first two quarterbacks that we've talked to

986
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,639
said they have a lot of experience under center. Yeah

987
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,840
that is that's that's not normal for college football this day.

988
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 2: It is no Cole Payton being from nd s U.

989
00:42:27,119 --> 00:42:28,039
Speaker 6: Yep, I wish I.

990
00:42:28,039 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 5: Would have done that a little bit more. Oh dude,

991
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,679
they will run multiple fullbacks. In last year or two

992
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,079
years ago, they had to play where they had four

993
00:42:35,119 --> 00:42:36,880
fullbacks in on the goal line.

994
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 6: Was that person?

995
00:42:40,519 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 2: So they're not afraid to run a full back.

996
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean, honestly, he's going to have an

997
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,719
advantage Like guys that you really think about, like you

998
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,159
master your craft, you know, you think so being a

999
00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:54,519
college football player, even though you have no idea what's

1000
00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:56,559
to come, but you think you're a master of it,

1001
00:42:56,599 --> 00:42:58,199
and all of a suddenly like, oh no, see, we don't.

1002
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,920
We don't do that here, right, We'll do some of

1003
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,039
it a little bit like on you know, sub downs.

1004
00:43:03,079 --> 00:43:05,239
We'll do some of that, but for the most part,

1005
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,400
you're actually going to completely change.

1006
00:43:07,639 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 2: Like that draft that you used to take. No, that's out.

1007
00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:11,000
That's a little clap that.

1008
00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:17,079
Speaker 4: Let me tell you that. He so when I asked

1009
00:43:17,119 --> 00:43:18,159
Cole just now.

1010
00:43:18,079 --> 00:43:20,119
Speaker 6: If this was clap if this was a snapcount, and

1011
00:43:20,159 --> 00:43:23,199
I clapped, and he laughed and like a negative, like

1012
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,039
disparaging way towards the clap count. I hope, I hope

1013
00:43:28,039 --> 00:43:30,239
he has a fifty year NFL career because of that.

1014
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,920
Like I became a fan of his because he laughed

1015
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,800
at the clap count. Because Elis, he's gonna do it

1016
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,760
next year. I got it. But and this saiden just

1017
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,039
about Elis. It's about everybody. The clap count is dumb,

1018
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,199
and it's the worst. Then I don't understand the point

1019
00:43:45,199 --> 00:43:50,039
of it. Anyway, That's okay. We are on a mission

1020
00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:51,320
to make sure everybody knows it.

1021
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 4: We're gonna tell him. Let the people know and.

1022
00:43:53,679 --> 00:43:55,679
Speaker 2: Got like Colpayton's gonna do well, I think this week

1023
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,800
because of it. While we have some time, want to.

1024
00:44:00,559 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 5: Remind you that it's gonna be three LSU players here.

1025
00:44:03,519 --> 00:44:06,280
I'm trying to look for anybody, see if we can

1026
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,639
get any third well that too, aj Halsey and Jack

1027
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,760
Pyburn and why they're not here. But we are gonna

1028
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,239
catch up with all three LSU players during this week.

1029
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,840
And again it's gonna be kind of interview here, interview there,

1030
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,840
and you don't really know when you're gonna have one, so.

1031
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,199
Speaker 2: From segment to segment, Flynn, Yeah.

1032
00:44:25,039 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 4: We're just gonna be bouncing around. Ready, dude.

1033
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,639
Speaker 6: It's kind of weird when you're when they come up

1034
00:44:31,679 --> 00:44:35,119
to the table and clearly they don't know us, we

1035
00:44:35,159 --> 00:44:37,679
don't know them, and I'm sitting here googling them right there.

1036
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,960
I got like their Wikipedia page up and they're just

1037
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,360
staring at it, and I'm like, yeah, that's me trying

1038
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:44,000
to learn who you.

1039
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 4: Are real quick.

1040
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 2: In the next thirty you just pull up.

1041
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,079
Speaker 4: Well I started doing it that, I just put it down.

1042
00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 6: I just did it on my phone, but then it

1043
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:51,920
looked like I was texting in front of him.

1044
00:44:52,679 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 4: I didn't want to be rude.

1045
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: Uh, it's okay.

1046
00:44:56,079 --> 00:44:58,679
Speaker 5: I'd looked, if you're doing a deep dive in the

1047
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,679
NDSU football, you're Sico like me.

1048
00:45:01,039 --> 00:45:01,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.

1049
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:08,559
Speaker 6: So for forty one personnel, So what you said running backs.

1050
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,159
Speaker 5: Well yeah, because it was no running backs. It was

1051
00:45:10,199 --> 00:45:12,559
all fullbacks on one tight end. So yeah, forty one

1052
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,519
the way the Good Lord intended. H Cole Payton last

1053
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:19,119
year did throw for twenty seven hundred yards, completed seventy

1054
00:45:19,159 --> 00:45:21,519
two percent of his passes. Now, he only had sixteen

1055
00:45:21,559 --> 00:45:24,519
touchdowns four interceptions, but he also ran for seven hundred

1056
00:45:24,559 --> 00:45:27,719
and seventy seven yards thirteen touchdowns on.

1057
00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:29,079
Speaker 6: The ground seven hundred yards.

1058
00:45:29,159 --> 00:45:33,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's taken sackyard age away as well in college football.

1059
00:45:33,199 --> 00:45:35,400
So he took twenty two sacks minus one hundred and

1060
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:36,360
twenty four yards.

1061
00:45:36,679 --> 00:45:37,639
Speaker 2: So we're talking.

1062
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 5: About basically a nine hundred yard rusher in college. So

1063
00:45:42,679 --> 00:45:45,000
I did like his answer for you know, cause you

1064
00:45:45,039 --> 00:45:47,880
can't show the entire skill set here when you're a

1065
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,960
dual threat quarterback, Like you're not gonna go out there

1066
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,159
and run Q power practice and if you do, it's

1067
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,239
tag off and you're not gonna be able to So

1068
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:55,920
he like you realized that, and he's like, hey, I

1069
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,360
want to go spin it around. I want to go

1070
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,519
show like I think they know I can run the football.

1071
00:45:59,559 --> 00:46:00,719
I need to go show that I can do it

1072
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:01,199
with my RM.

1073
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 6: So, yeah, there's always something that these these quarterbacks. That's

1074
00:46:06,519 --> 00:46:08,320
why I'm asking, I'm like, what are you looking forward

1075
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,360
to most? Because there's if you if you want to

1076
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,840
show that you can spend it, then there's times to

1077
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,599
do that. There's one on one, there's individual drills, seven

1078
00:46:16,639 --> 00:46:19,760
on seven, so there's always different drills that As a quarterback,

1079
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,760
I always used to love seven on sevens. All quarterbacks

1080
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,360
do one on one. It's fantastic. It's awesome to watch

1081
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,440
from a quarterback and corner standpoint. Uh, corner and receiver standpoint.

1082
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,199
But it's a huge deal for the quarterback as well.

1083
00:46:34,039 --> 00:46:35,960
Throwing guys open, it's a great time to show that

1084
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,400
you got like the back shoulder throw in your repertoire,

1085
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,440
the low and a way shoulder, the high ball, the throat.

1086
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,239
It's only where your guy can get it type guy

1087
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,920
