Emory Hunt On Late Round Picks, UDFAs, his Dolphins 2021 Expectations, and Reading the Press Clippings

expert and really, who am I kidding? NFL expert, to Emery Hunt of CBS Sports Headquarters. All of that and more on this edition of the Drivetime Podcasts. The cardinal sin of sports, positive or negative, is reading your own press clippings. Right. I remember back in high school and hoops, to be specific, our head coach would post newspaper articles in the locker room among every other very very very corny motivational tactic you can think of. And we went

four and six team my senior season. So and that was at the advice that we neglect all positive press, which was hard to come by in a four and sixteen season, and even the preseason full spread in the newspaper predicted us to finish bottom of a ten team conference and it called me a scrappy hustle defender and their blurb on me Jim Ratt coach's kid first and last out, you know the drill. So you can find both and probably with any team in the National Football League.

And there are some stories out there that questions some things, some ideas, and some approaches of this Dolphins brass and that's how it just just just how it goes. Plenty of local outlets that have pointed out some concerns they have, but the stuff that really shows up on my timeline at least is some of the stuff that I'm gonna

play for you guys here. Let's go ahead and start with this clip the from a podcast that straight up tells you they really don't know the first thing about college ball or the draft, but they do study the NFL and the rosters and ahead of his Starters series on NFL dot Com Greg Rosenthal of the Around the NFL podcast, And I'll go ahead and play the question first and then the answer from Rosenthal. What's a team that you really like right now? What's a team that

you can't wait to see? Them um assembled on the field because you feel like they're they're better and they're going to be stronger than they were last year. My heart says the Dolphins that that's the one that pops to my mind. You know, I think, you know, they

got all these picks the last two years. I think if you're judging their last draft class off their rookie year, there's some concerns that maybe they didn't use those picks that well, well, we'll see and so we'll see about the five picks that they had in the first three rounds this year. But I liked them, like I want to see Jalen Waddle and a Fuller and DeVante Parker. I thought the other picks they made Jalen Phillips uh. And I think to a Tongue is going to be

better in a second year. I don't know what it is, but I just feel like they're they have come together. Their team has totally turned over. I know there's been all this crazy transition and different coaches like and that all looks bad, but I think they're going to be exciting. And I'm kind of excited for to a Tongue boyl to prove people wrong and that he's better than people think.

So he likes the Dolphins and their off season, staying at the NFL Network and friend of the podcast Peter Schreeger, as well as his esteemed co host on the Good Morning Football program on NFL Network, Nate Burlison. They double dipped on the Dolphins after Night one and we were doing headlines, and I said that my headline for the draft after Day one will be Miami making monster moves. And that's exactly what they did. They went out there

and they got some playmakers right out the gag. Oh baby, Jalen Waddle is a receiver that can make plays and he's gonna come in right away and making a met an impact. This dude got speed, he got hands. They checked this out. He average almost twenty yards of pop, twenty yards of catch, eighteen point not that's wild. That is a big time playmaker. And you know what that does. It also forces too to unleash it because sometimes two

can be a micromanager of games. Now you bringing in a guy that can not only be a wide receiver that can throw deep stretch to field, but you can also use in that part return. And then at eight team they wouldn't got Jalen Phillips and Steger. I know that you were sitting there, just like me, looking at these two playmakers, thinking to yourself, Miami, all of a sudden, they're going to become legit continuers one level further with this and with some insight from what they were doing

in their draft room. And it's very rare on our show that we come out of the draft and it's like, who's the winners of the Draft, And we've got four hosts and there's thirty two teams and we each pick a different one. Nate, I'm doubling down. The Miami Dolphins won the draft last night. Here's why. That trade they made with the San Francisco forty Niners, they picked up a first rounder for next year, a first rounder for three season. And do you know who the top rated

wide receiver on their board was. Wasn't Jamaar Chase, it was Jalen Waddle. They got their guy. This is why they made the trade. This is what they did. Jalen Waddle was the top rated wide receiver on Miami's board, and when they made that trade with the Niners and then traded back up with the Eagles, it was because they didn't want to miss out the chance to get Jalen Waddle. Here's the rum, here's the here's the story on Waddle. It's a serious ankle injury in Week five,

everyone assumes this season's done. Works out like a demon to get back on the field for that National title game and plays. And what everyone said coming into this draft where a lot of players opted out and there was no problem with that last year, COVID whatever else, What are the reason you might have Jalen Waddle? He opted in, said I want in, and that is what the Dots are trying to build there. He played in that National title game. He wanted that action. He wanted

to get on the field. The Dolphins dark static right now. And then to add on jan and Phillips, who I had going overall in my mock draft, and then he comes out and he falls all the way to eighteen. That's a steal. Janalen Phillips, top pass rusher on just about everybody's board, comes from the University of Miami, But before that was that u c l A where he

was a dominant DNOM before we had to transfer. Of course, he's had some injury issues there are some questions about, Okay, how does that translate because he's such an This guy had the best Pro Day out of any defensive player in the entire NFL and interviewed off the charts. The Dolphins got their stalwart at wide receiver who's gonna go with Parker and with Fuller and with Koseki, and then

got maybe the best pass rusher in the draft at eighteen. Overall, I know we don't often double dip on teams, and we'd like to spread the love. Miami Dolphins fans, have yourself a morning, because you had yourself a night last night. What a job A plus. That was the first night of the draft. And then we come back with the same network, the NFL Network. They asked Brian Baldinger about

who was some of his ferret picks on Day two. Well, if people didn't understand who Javon Holland was, and I know he opted out this year, they weren't doing their homework. This is a dynamic playmaker going to Miami, a team that led the league and takeaways a year ago, and that's kind of what Javon Holly could do. He can do it all as safety and he's one of those guys deep middle, down to the line of scrimmage in the slot. He really has versatility to his game, and

I didn't surprise me how early he went. He's a great tackler. I mean, he's got sized. You watch him right here, and you watch him run support, Get enough b gap, take care of that be gap right here. Don't let that run go any further. Short tackler in space. But then, like a lot of safeties, you get a guy in the slot right here, you better be able to come, and then it just sort of ends fighting crime penetration, crime penetration, crime penetration, and then it just

kind of ends there. But you heard him talking about the tackling, the slot coverage, all the fun stuff that he can do. How about this tweet from Bucky Brooks the Miami Dolphins were close a year ago, Ellipses dot dot dot. This new class should push them over the top. How about Peter King in his Football Morning in America piece up on NBC Sports or Pro Football Talk, talking about how Miami picked four scouts Darling's in the first

three rounds with Waddle, Phillips, Eichenberg, and Hunter Long. He says, if two can play and you guys know how I feel about that. This team is going to be dangerous. Dane Brugler had Miami is his number nine draft class up on the Athletic out of the thirty two eighteen experts associated with NBC Sports. Their consensus grades across those eighteen expert picks were the fifth best draft class in

the NFL over the weekend. And those are all the stuff you hear about the top of the class, the top five picks and three rounds we're gonna hear about over and over again. But as you all know, the sixth and seventh round and the undrafted class makes up a massive chunk, the most significant chunk of NFL rosters. And that's where we turned to an expert of all ranks of college football Power five G five fcs, historically Black colleges. Whatever it is, he's covered it. He's the

creator and owner of Football Game Plan. You can see him on CBS Sports HQ Emery Hunt. Emory, the draft is over. Are you kind of breathing that sigh of relief like you got vacation coming up? Or what's going on? Man? Yes, it's always football, all the time. I am ready to step back and just kind of, you know, relax just a little bit. But you know, normally, if this was a non pandemic year, I'd be preparing to go up to Canada for their All Star Game circle which kicks

off two. But that's not happening this year, so I get a little bit of a break before we dive right back into the mix. Do you think you'll ever be a guy that does that, because, like I always love, Daniel Jeremond is like, all right, I'm going to the beach. I'm going to Bermuda somewhere. Don't bother me for a week. I'm taking some time off. That's how to deal with you. Man. You're always working, and that's why the analysis is what it is. You know, if I can't, I can't take

time off. If I only study fifty prospects like what I did all season, like no, I had to do six hundred, and we kind of roll a little into the next year. Because one, I love what I do and football is all year round, so for me, it's not like work. I mean, this weekend for me, it was a dream come true. Hosting our draft party and and bringing out all those podcasts and talking to coaches and players. It's like you said, Man, it's not work what we do. We're the luckiest people in the world.

And man, I know I've told you this every time you've ben the podcast, Emery, but you really inspired me from a young age with all the just posting your work two different message boards and the relentless pursuit of the career you've made it. Man, it's awesome to see.

I love your work, and that's why we have you here today talking about kind of I want to get your collective thoughts on the entire draft class, but I'm not sure anybody else has a deeper catalog of player evaluations out there like you mentioned, so I want to kind of start in the weeds here, if that's okay with you, and we go to the seventh round. The two thirty first pick in this draft is offensive tackle

Larnel Coleman out of U mass Now. Laurnel is the owner of one of the class largest wingspans and athletic profiles from his days playing hoops back in high school, and he's also the selection of the cutest draft pick ever made by Miles and Maxwell Flores on the broadcast. But I want to hear your thoughts on this kid, Larnel Coleman. What do you got Emory? You know, he already matches up athletically, and that's something that you noticed

on film. You see him on reach blocks. You see him be able to, you know, catch these shorter, quicker defensive ends and and really escort these guys out the club. So athletically, he's already you know, what you want in a pro offensive lineman and and still has upside left

in the game. I thought his tape was underrated, So I'm glad to see him and get his name called in the draft in a situation where we've seen good development so far with the draft picks they had last year and guys stepping in, stepping in ready to play. So he's landing in an ideal situation for his skills and he can continue to grow because again, he already is what you look for in a pro offensive line.

But his tape at you Mass was outstanding. Again East West type athleticism, able to you know, reach blocks, so your outside run game and all that stuff is gonna be key with him. So I just like to pick. I thought it was a very good, you know, one value pick, but a good prospect to go to a good situation in Miami. Two questions for you to follow up on that point. Number one, do you think he's the kind of prospect that maybe needs a red shirt type of year to go to the practice squad and

get his game down? And number two, you know I talked about eighty four and a half inch wingspan just blows my mind. You mentioned the athletic profile that seems to really be kind of the Dolphins bread and butter. I always refer back to this um signing from the A a f of Jared Jones Smith and I saw him on the practice field running sprints and I couldn't believe the differential between myself and him as human beings,

Like we're not the same species. And so I'm wondering, what does what are those two things wingspan, length and athletic ability? What does that do for an offensive lineman in their in their potential development? And what do you think of Coleman year one practice squad guy or does he have a chance to make the roster. I think

he has a chance to make the roster. I think he's gonna be a good depth piece because, like I said, he's ready to play now athletically, and when you talk about long arms and wing span and length, all of that means nothing if you don't have the quickness to get it up and get it onto a defender, which he has. I like his hand usage. I like the fact that he's able to really do well on both ends of offense as a past blocker and also in

the run blocking department. So with that baseline of athleticism basedline of skill set, he could be a nice reserve piece coming in until he slowly gets acclimated to the system and then he can compete for jobs next year. But I think he's too talented to leave vulnerable on the practice squad, to be quite honest, Austin Jackson, Robert Hunt, Jesse Davis, d J Fluker, Liam Eichenberg, and Larnel Coleman. Dolphins have some options there at the offensive tackle position.

Thirteen picks later, we come back and it's the second running back drafted by Brian Flores and Chris Career if you exclude fullbacks and Chandler Cox a couple of years back, both those guys in the seventh round with Miles Gaskin and now this kid that has some folks pretty excited, Emory. His name is Jared Doakes out of Cincinnati, an absolute wrecking ball who showed the explosiveness he has in those treats trunk legs of his a thirty nine and a

half inch vertical at two and twenty eight pounds. Wow, Emry, what can you tell us about this kid's game? Well, he's an angry runner, and he runs with a purpose, and he does a good job of you know, like you said, one cut downhill explosiveness. You want to see him develop a little bit more wiggle. One thing I tell you know, anyone that asked about the tell back position, you know there's not any There are no eighteen or nineteen year olds in the NFL, so you can't just

run over everybody. You know, no one is scared to tapping you in the NFL. He's a grown man, so you're gonna have to develop some wiggle or you won't last long. So for him, that's just the biggest task right there. But you love the explosiveness, you love the burst um and he goes into a situation where you can kind of make his way. But you know, for me, I think he's more relegated to special teams duty, Uh out the onset you think he's he's wired to do that.

I think so. I think when you have the mentality that run into everybody, you know kind of telling me for special teams, you know, that's essentially what special teams is. So I do think he has that that in him. Uh if he wants to you know, be on the team and make the roster, special is gonna be key for him. What do you think about his three down prospects as far as being a guy that can catch

the football and help out and pass protection. And then also as far as what he did, uh schematically wise at Cincinnati, what what type of run calls best suited him? You know, I think he's just a one hill down down, one cut downhill runner. Um. You know, I think when you watch him play, he's a good complimentary guy. And you know, Miami seems to be good on complimentary backs. You know, they have a depth chart full of complimentary guys. No one real bell cow. Uh. So he goes into

situation where he's gonna be familiar to him. But I think for him is basically just you know, uh, special teams is gonna be his ticket to be completely honest coach Danny Cross will love to hear that. He's got all kinds of guys in that unit charged up to play special teams for him, and one of the top five special teams units in the NFL last season. So that's the final draft pick for the Dolphins. Then there's the frenzy post draft with players who didn't hear their

name called. Four players are reportedly right now as of this recording signing with Miami. Two of them from the same position group on the offensive line, two on defense. And we'll start here back on that old line with Robert Jones. And for the folks out there that haven't seen a lot of Middle Tennessee state football, what does this kid offer excellence? I had a high grade on Robert Jones, and you know, you like how aggressive he is. He's the type of guy that brings the fight to

your doorsteps. So he doesn't weighed on defensive lineman to you know, figure out what they want to do. He's gonna attack you with an aggressive pass that His hands are are violent and they're consistent, they're concise. He could play guard or tackle. I haven't greeted as a guard, although you play right Taco middle Tennessee State. But that's someone to me that's primed to make the roster because how talented he was, and you could go down to the Senior Bowl, had a good we could work. You

saw him do great things. I think the viral clip was with him in Shakatoni, Um, you know, Bidy Salamon Shokatoni to through the ground. But Robert Jones phenomenal. To me, that was I was surprised he didn't get drafted, So I think Miami got themselves of steal with Jones. Jones is excellent, versatile, he's athletic, um, he plays fast, he plays aggressively, plays quick. That's the type of guy you want play on your offensive line. So I was excited

to see him go down to Miami. Were again they've shown the ability to develop offensive lineman and when you have the based on skill set that he has, it wouldn't surprise me to see him factor into the mix early despite being undrafted. That's awesome to hear. I just told you about all the depth guys I think we have. We add this guy to the mix. Reports also out there that he had a nice little signing bonus attached to that undrafted free agent offer, so clearly, like you say, Emory,

probably some teams in pursuit of him there. And on the offensive line, we also go with Jordan Tucker out of North Carolina reportedly and that was a star Studdard program that saw Diae Brown, Dad's Newsom, Chaz to Rat all drafted. But so were Javonte Williams, Michael Carter from that dominant, dominant North Carolina running game. How did Tucker contribute to that? And what's his long term projection here

in the NFL. I have no grade or scouting report on Tucker, so I can't even explain what he brings up, what he is, or what he does. So when I looked at that undrafted free agent list, it was just Robert Jones. To me, that's the one that clearly stands out as that has a great chance to make it. So I can't even fake my way through a fake analysis or a scouting report on somebody hadn't seen him, hadn't watched him um and didn't know he was even

eligible for the class. So and that's saying something because I have six Scott reports in his draft class, so him or there's one other guy I saw on that list that I just don't have grades on um, but you know, good luck to them. But at the end of the day, Robert Jones first, second, and third, that's the one that's the guy that that caught my attention initially, I think we can just skip over at this So no Jerome Johnson or Jaitlyn ask you either. Jerome Johnson

is a is a depth guy. I have something on him. It was him and his teammate. They kind of greeted the same. Um. You know, they play a lot of snaps bianna. But you know, initially, I think you look at that defensive interior for Miami, it's gonna be tough to to really break the fifty three. So practice squad like Libel or likely for him. But again him, it was him and to see I can't remember his teammate's name, but I know it was both guys alone. That defensive

line that spearheaded a very good defense. Uh top fifteen defense in the country. Uh. So he has some work with the skills, but I think he's more of a depth guy. So definitely headed for the practice squad if he's able to make it. I'm with you as far as not having a whole bunch of immediate knowledge ready for you. But I did read that he was another one of these long guys. Primary three technique had thirteen

and a half sacks in his career. And then Jaitlyn asked you from Georgia Tech, he's got some special teams. Pelts on the wall, a guy that went down on covered kicks and played a million miles an hour there, So again kind of checking those protofiles. Are those prototypes here in Miami? Let's go back to the uh Well, my next question was gonna be if you had to pick one to make the team, who would it be?

But I think we already have that answer. Let's go back to the top of the draft and you know Jalen Waddle, Jail and Phillips, Javon Holland we come back with Hunter Long in the third round in Liam Eichenberg Sandwich there in between skipped over his name on accident. What do you think of the Dolphins first five picks in those first three rounds? And as any one of those guys stand out to you, was like, that's a

Pro Bowl type player from day one. I think Chris Grig got my draft guy because I loved all those picks. Number one flanker was Jailing Waddle. Number two offensive tackle was Lion Eichenberg. Number two in in line tight end was Hunter Long. So number one, uh defensive and four three defensive mean Jail and Phillips. So obviously I love the Miami Dolphins draft. They nailed it in my opinion. So, um, I'm glad we were seeing it all the same weight, uh,

you know, as a general manager. So I thought that was awesome. The fact that Waddle is an explosive guy. And going back, I was on a Rush Tucker podcast back in the summer and and this is before the season, so I was like, Jail and Waddle is the best Alabama receiver. Um, And this was before Smith did what he had to do to win the hisman. Because Smith, to me at that point I thought he was more ted getting than anything. Going through the season, he became

more Marvin Harrison to me than anything. So Devons Smith did a great job and improving his stock. But Wattle, his speed just doesn't make sense. Is rocket ishmail Like it's it's you know, Joey Gallowy, Like it's the re acceleration explosiveness that just leaves you just blinded by his skill set jail and Phillips has good value because he's able to play both ends of defense very well, playing the run, playing the past, shows good hand us shows

good instincts, good technique. So he's a plug and play guy. Eikenberg, it was funny. I was shocked that there wasn't much talk amongst draft media about Eikenberg um considering how much space he vacated up up front for Notre Dame. You know, it was Ian Book had all they to throw because Eikenberg and uh, you know, Aaron Um Brown or being you know, the guard end up going to San Francisco. All those guys did. We just dominate And so I can Berg was my number two tackle. I thought he

was tremendous. And then you talk about a hunter long, you know, it may not be flashy, it may not be dynamic, but it's consistent and the blocking part is where he has value. So you pair him up with the sicky and now you have a strong tight end group because you have somebody that can do it on you know, against the run, um or in the run game. And the second is the type of guy that gets

you downfield in the passing game. So you keep both guys on field, and I just thought that overall, Miami just nailed it, and I was I was actually excited Miami nailed it, and a couple of teams I thought every pick was just like, Wow, that's a great pick. That's a great pick. But Miami, to me, it just backs up. You know what they did last year. I had high grades on a lot of their rookies, and so I thought back to back classes. You know, it's

it's just good. And that's why you saw this team on the precipice of the playoffs last year, and I think this year have a great chance to keep the door down and get in. You mentioned two tight end sets twenty percent of the time and twelve personnel that was fifth in the National Football League last year with Mike Gasiki and then a combination of Durham Smith and

Adam Shaheen at that position. So you talk a little bit there about the entirety of the class, and I've got so many questions to kind of I guess follow up with you there, and I want to go ahead and start here. Um. You know, you mentioned last year's draft class and obviously Austin Jackson to a tongue of Byloo. Both got plenty of playing time. Noahg Bnogamy started the season playing but then wound up getting some more special teams work as Byron Jones and Xavian Howard. We're healthy

and playing every single week. Robert Hunt played a lot on the right side of the offensive line as well, Solomon Kinley on the interior. So that's a lot of talent, and obviously a lot of that birth from the Laramie Tounsel trade a couple of years back. I'm curious, Emery, how does a roster that has so many early draft picks in consecutive years like that? Because we're gonna rely on these guys, these guys are gonna play significant snaps.

How challenging is that for a coaching staff to get all those guys jelling quickly on the same page and getting them to play winning Football's earlier September, it's a good problem to have, you know. You asked any coach and they'll tell you I'd rather have a team full of talented guys and struggle to to put the most talented guys on the field than a team full of not talented guys. So you know, it's good because this year is different. You get a little bit back to normalcy,

I believe. So you get to have, you know, the full off season, you get to have preseason where those you know, live game reps are so valuable because you can't fake live in practice, no manute, no matter how much you want to simulate it, it's hard to fake live action. And preseason games have tremendous value and that's where guys can develop that chemistry. So I think that's what you're gonna see for the most part from Miami.

And again, all those guys you mentioned last year, especially those offensive line picks, combined with what they have this year, not only will they have a strong starting five, but their next three, you know or four, it's gonna be really good, so you don't have any drop off, and that just keeps the offense rolling, and that just gonna

gonna make the transition easier for two. A tong about lower in the second season and not going in knowing he's a starter, knowing he's the guy, not looking over his shoulder, a little bit more comfortable in the system. All of that is what you want if you're a quarterback. So I love the fact that he's going in with that level of security around him, both mentally and also physically,

with the offensive line and with those receiving weapons. We talked about Wildle but you got Parker, you get you know, Preston Williams back, you got you know, uh, will Fuller like good luck man like that. That's too much speed out there, um on a perimeter. If will Fuller is healthy for the for the full season, you know, that's him and Waddle on the same field at the same time.

Good luck safeties, you know what I'm saying. So I just I just think Miami is gonna be so fun to watch, and I still feel as though they're running back away from being truly special. I think I'm gonna come back here and a second ask you for a prediction because I love, I love what I'm hearing from you. But I want to ask you a couple more questions first before we get to that. So you had mentioned the offensive line being you know, seven, eight nine, Paul

sably deep up front. I mean, you go, look at the twenty are going into last year before free agency, when they signed Eric Flowers and Ted Carriss and wind up drafting the three rookies. I mean, Jesse Davis was like the one incomement that you knew was probably gonna get a crack at a starting job up front. And now you look at the rotation. He might be a swing tackle, swing interior guy, maybe the seventh or eighth

guy off the bench, or he could start. You never know, but it just speaks to the level of roster building and team building. This, this this Dolphins brass has done under Chris Career and Brian Flores. One more question for you about an individual, emery, because I have been watching his tape the last few days and I haven't seen a bad one yet. It's Javon Holland out of Oregon, the safety who eight hundred snaps in the bo or in the slot, three hundred at free safety, three hundred

in the box. I'm wondering where do you think he's most dangerous at secondary? I love his ball awareness. You know, that's one dude that is always around the action. And you know he opted out this past season and what have you. But that dude is excellent in terms of what he brings to the table and what he does from you know, an instinctual standpoint. So I love his game.

I love what he's able to do. Uh. Ball skills and ball awareness are two separate entities, and he has them vote so he doesn't miss the opportunity to turn the ball over. And he's always gonna find the football. And to me, I know, you know they're gonna love him down there because you have smart football players. The ball awareness part is a smart a smart football player. The ball skills part is the technique part, and the skills to turn the ball over, and he has those.

You won't see any dropped interceptions or miss opportunities to to make a play on the ball. Holland is x And I forgot to mention him, uh you know, earlier, but that's one pick that I really like as well, because again, anytime you have someone in the secondary that can find the football like that in a passing league, in the passing era, that's worth your weight in gold. You know, that's someone that just keeps you honest defensively

on all offense. I'm sorry where you know you don't you know you can't make errand plays because someone back there is you know, a step ahead with his instincts and beautiful plays on the ball. And Coach talked about this and his his post draft pressor that he loved Javon Hall and even said it was one of his favorite tapes to watch. And that's pretty uncommon for coach. He's usually gonna tell us where because you have a long way to go, which eventually he did tell us that.

But to complement a player to that nature was was was pretty telling. I think of how coach Flores feels about Javon Holland, so I cannot wait to see what he does in this defense. Emory, I asked you earlier, I was gonna come back to it. You're just talking my language right now. Man. I've I've been kind of hyping this thing up my own as well. But what do you think, man? Where We're a few months away

from training camp. But is this team of division contender, division title contender, a deep playoff run or where you got this team at? Well? They could be a title contender for sure, conference title, division title. I'm sorry, AFC East, you know division you know contender. They were there last year.

You know they had an opportunity to last year. So I think tin wins is definitely um doable once again, you know, to get the extra game this year, so we'll see, um, if a running back emerges as a true threat and if toultates the next step, Um, then you can see this team, you know, not only just getting into the play winning a game or two, but I think talent wise, they are a tin win football team. So that's gonna be the biggest key Canny close out

some of these closed games. Can hey, you know, not drop games that there's a quote unquote supposed to win. That will be the biggest question mark. But you know, all eyes will be on tour. You know, it's the second year, first full season, uh in the system, not coming off of you know, an injury. So we'll get to see the talent that we saw at Alabama pre injury, and I'm excited to see how he's gonna do this season.
