"The targets are going to be there on high point phase down the sideline where he's trying to out jump a guy. How many times does Matt Jones really throw that ball to Devante Parker? I don't think it's going to be a hundred plus, right? So I'm not sure the yards will be there. The red zone production, I think, will be there. The threat of him being on the field, I think, is important just as a guy that has some reputation and as some gravity towards him in terms of how they structure your defense or your game plan against the Patriots. I think that will be key. And you mentioned his health, the one thing that he mentioned in many camp that I thought was interesting was about how much he's running like sprinting long distance type running hill running with the Patriots versus what he did with the Miami Dolphins. So my guess is, yes, this is partially just the Patriots program. And that's what they do. But I would also think that they probably got with Parker after the trade and got with his camp his trainers and stuff like that and said, hey, it's mostly been soft tissue stuff. It's mostly been hamstrings, things like that. Here's what we think that we could do to maybe help them stay on the field. Do you guys agree with this method? And I think they have a plan in place, at least hopefully, to be proactive about the fact that he is prone to hamstring poles and things of that nature. But rather than being reactive to it, which is obviously the way that you want to go. And any sport. Well, the other thing too to remember, we did this last year with hunter Henry and then he played a full season. And you've got to remember, not every team handles their medical staff differently and hunter Henry when he was asked at the end of the year about playing a full season. Attributed a lot of that to how the Patriots trading staff kind of shook up his regiment. Yeah. So just because the guy's injury prone in one place, especially like you said, when it's polls and things like that, might not be an issue elsewhere..

"Going to, you know, they trade no snaggle or then devonte Parker who we know is injury. History gets hurt week one. We're all going to be talking about the Aguilar Aguilar Aguilar. So I think they're going to stick with that group. Again, I think it's also a thing where it's early, right? And I agree with you, Parker does need the reps. I still think those for you need four good receivers to get through a season. And they have those for. Like, do you kill Harry's out of this right? I think Christian wilkerson as high as I was on him last year, like maybe he makes a team as a special teams guy. I don't think he's really a major factor at wide receiver, trade Nixon would have been cool, but we'll see what he does in camp, but it feels like he's got a long way to go. Yeah, so I think they stick with those four guys. Unless, again, like you said, Thornton starts really coming on strong here. And then it kind of becomes what happened last year with Sony Michelle and mongering Stevenson where we're madre had such a good camp. They had to get him on the field. It made Sony Michelle expendable. They moved him on the last year of his deal. Like to me, that's what has to happen for them to move on from Aguilar's Thornton has to have that kind of summer. It's really tough to see them move on from Aguilar in less Thornton is really coming on because you can not count on Devante Parker for it to play the entire season. Can't count on him and I think the worst part of the Devante Parker experience speaking to some people down in Miami reporters, especially down in Miami is he always comes out of the gate hot. He's always starts the season really strong and the only year, of course, as we all remember in 2019 is the only where he actually ended on a high note as well. With that game against Stephon Gilmore and the season finale, but for the most part what Devante Parker, he's great in September. He's a great September player and then a hamstring or an ankle or something usually the hamstring pops up on the injury report and then he's inconsistent throughout the rest of the year. They need to have a reliable backup plan for Devante Parker and if taekwon Thornton's already, then Nelson Aguilar is going to be that guy..

"The Boston pro sports and look it's a great time, right? The bruins marching towards the playoffs sell its external playoffs, Red Sox, season starting. There's a lot happening right now. The off season with football, we got the draft coming out. We still have a lot of free agents out there, akeem hicks, Trey flowers, honey badger, people are still out there, things can happen aside from all of that good information that you can get. You also get with a membership. A ton of video analysis that bedard does in the coach's film and bedard wrote about devonta Parker this week and broke down some film. Davis next. Oh, there you go. How about that? And you got direct access to him in weekly chats as well. Jackie treehorn has a question. Greg, is there a reason to think? Joe judge will be coaching wide receivers, as opposed to Troy Brown. So this was a question that came from my Devante Parker breakdown and I talked about the number one job for the wide receiver coach and I mentioned Joe judge and I wasn't, I wanted to answer this question just because I wasn't really thinking. I mean, I was more thinking about Parker. In my mind, I'm like, Joe judge was a wide receiver's coach. Last time he was here. But from what we know, the pieces that we know, Joe judge is probably going to coach quarterbacks or be involved with the quarterbacks. He might be from what I hear, Nick from the owners meetings, and we didn't talk about this last week. From what I heard. The scuttlebutt is Joe judge is going to be the pass game coordinator and Matt Patricia is going to be the run game coordinator. Offensive line, run game coordinator, Joe judge is going to be either quarterbacks or wide receivers slash pass game coordinator. So I just wanted to make that point to everybody and get that out there. Very interesting. Joe judge pass game coordinator. Patricia run game coordinator. I don't know how I feel about this. If somebody told you that ten years ago, or they say 6 or 7 years ago, they're going to be like, in 2023, you're going to have a second year first round quarterback. And guess what, Matt Patricia is going to be the run game coordinator Joe judge is going to be a pass game coordinator. You'd be like, what? Depending on what happens over the next week. I think next week, let's just kind of keep this in mind. I think drilling down on the offensive staff and Mac Jones. And I know Dan orlowski, we don't have enough time to get to it today, but in Alaska, he talked about how it's his biggest worry and the NFL's biggest concern this year is who is surrounding Mac Jones and I'll just say this. There have been quarterbacks in the past that have had to go through a lot of different change and have still been able to remain successful and take a step forward. Now, as Matt going to be one of those guys, I don't know. You know, that's more the anomaly. You would like to have a coaching staff and consistency and play calling and all of that stuff for a young quarterback..

"I don't know if they're all going to be number ones, but they're banged up. So what this does is it allows the Patriots. Let's say they like matchy. But they said to themselves, we don't want to rush him back. We don't want to lack any kind of development. We can draft somebody like matchy. We deal Nikhil Harry for a 5th round pick or a 6 round, whatever they do. We bring mechi in. And now we can cultivate him. We can grow him within the system. And by next year, now he's popping. And then you also have next year's draft that you can also address the wide receiver position if you feel the need to. So I think it keeps their options open. And Greg, you've done a really good job of addressing this in the past about Belichick and how, you know, the first 15, 16 years of his tenure in New England, he was always ahead. He was always ahead. He always had contingencies. He always knew what was happening in the future and to try to be ahead of the curve. And I think he's doing that with receivers, especially, especially if they draft a receiver or two over the next year or two. He's getting ahead of this and he's giving himself an staff some time to truly develop the young receiver that they bring in and they don't just throw them into the fire. So I think they're absolutely open to looking at drafting a receiver. Let's look at 2019, Greg. Devonta Parker, his best season as an NFL receiver. He had Ryan Fitzpatrick that year. He hasn't been necessarily great with what do you make of all of that? How much is on Parker? How much is on the quarterback situation? And one more thing I'll throw in there. That people might not be keenly aware of is not only look at the quarterback, but you look at the offensive coordinator position. And I've made this joke before I'll make it again. You know, when Brian Flores was head coach in Miami, he changed OCs like he changed his underwear. He went through Chad O'Shea. Then he went to Chan gailey. Then he went to the two offensive coordinator system. It was always all over the place. So when you look at Parker and you assess him, how much of that other stuff do you think affected him and maybe impacted his production? Well, I'll say this. I think that when I evaluate receivers, I'm not looking at production and things like that. I'm looking at, can he get open? Can he catch contested passes? How does he do after the catch? What's his route running like? And that doesn't really, it's not really affected by who the quarterback is. So I think his assessment, if he was coming off 2019, I wouldn't say anything different about devonta Parker. I mean, I do think he's a little slower. I mean, he's 29 with a lot of soft tissue injuries and that was one of the concerns I have a pretty good source with the dolphins and I asked him about Parker and he was he had a lot of praise for Parker, but the soft tissue injury stuff is real with him and I don't think he's quite as explosive as it used to be. The biggest thing I'll say about 2019.

"They're like this guy's good, then agal or becomes expendable. Because of the cost. But as of right now, as of today, I think Aguilar has a place on this team. And I think, you know, you and I have talked about it before that. I think that, and I don't blame the Patriots for taking this approach. I like it in we talked about it when they signed all those free agents last year. I'm a little bit worried how much it's going to mess in year one. It's normally better in year two. And I think that a guy like Aguilar stands a chance to be much better. I do think the arrival of devonte Parker. Helps Aguilar get some better matchups and things like that. But to me, Aguilar still, the outside speed element on this team. As of right now, that might change with the draft. And I think like you said, Kendrick Bourne is the more gadget, quick sort of sort of guy. But to me, I think as of right now, I think Parker and Aguilar are almost, if you go with two wide receivers, they're almost your quote unquote starting receivers because they're two different receivers. Aguilar is more of a deep guy. Devonte Parker is more of a power forward type of guy. Then all of a sudden you get born and Myers into the mix and, you know, so I agree with you. I like their mix. I still, I still think Aguilar has a place here. I think that they'll be able to move him around a little bit more to sort of take advantage of matchups and that sort of thing. But yeah, I think that I like the group that they have. They're all different. And it'll be interesting to see if they do anything in the draft to sort of accentuate that. Yeah, and of course, I didn't forget about Jacoby Myers. He's out there as well. He has proven himself as kind of a big bodied slot receiver somewhat. And I think when you have those four guys, if they can stay healthy, it is an interesting mix. You just brought up the draft, Greg, if you're Bill Belichick and you're looking at this roster right now and you're thinking, what are we going to do?.

"For other three hours that I'm sitting there. But just as a sports fan because you're not just a football fan, you are a sports fan. This is the greatest of all time on the biggest stage, we're turning after two years off. He's a year removed from a car accident which he nearly lost his leg. I'm not talking about Tiger. I'm just talking about incredible theater. Again, like I said to you earlier, if it's the back 9 on Sunday at Augusta and Tiger Woods is a shot off the lead. I'll have it on my TV. Until then, I don't need Thursday. Saturday. It's getting there. It's the process of getting there. That's the journey. It's the journey. I know that sounds cheesy, but that's what it is. No. It's not. You hate fun. You're not going to get it. I shouldn't have expected to get it. I just can't. I can't do it unless it's the end of the tournament. And there's real stakes. I just can't, I can't get up for it. I just can't. I understand people that like it. I just, I don't know. I can't figure it out. All right, Thursday, I'm actually going to run along with Alex, the Patriots draft board. So if you want me in the room, or you don't want me in the room, you can still figure out what you do in the draft on Thursday for our third mock draft of the year. Of the off season here, first one, we got, I think the first two did not go particularly well. It's going to go better. I'm going to take a different strategy on this. I'm going to let Alex for sure make the pick in the first round. I think Alex, you tend to stick more at 21 than I do. I'm like, we're getting out of here, right? There's nobody good left trade out of here. We got to take a pick at 21. And we have to be able to find somebody at 21 that's worth it. That's my goal in this draft in this mock draft. If it doesn't work out again, I'm going to be a little bit upset because we haven't been able to just stick at 21 and take a good player. So on Thursday, mock draft three live here on patriots pizza come see us then and you can tell us how awful or how good or whatever you want to do about running a draft board we are. And by the way, you're not allowed to get mad at me for making trades that are too convoluted, not after that eagle saints trade. That vindicated me. When I saw that trade and I saw all the draft picks exchanging hands, I was like, somebody smarter than me, that's better with Matt, is telling me if it's fair or not, and that's all I care about, right? Like I just don't care. They keep turning Carson Wentz in the first round picks. It's really impressive. Shout out to them for that. All right. All right, so we'll see you guys on Thursday mock draft three. We're looking forward to it so you guys then. And thanks so much for watching until then signing off for Alex barth I'm Evan Lazar. We'll see you next time, everybody..

"Even to Eric king, who ultimately transferred coming out of Miami and he met with the Patriots, Houston just had a massive culture shift. They were, you know, a fringe mid major team, not mid major, a group of 5 team. They're now moving to the big 12. They just had a great run. The other one, Evan, you're going to laugh at me. And this is maybe more next year than this year, but there's a couple of guys from this team in this draft coastal coastal Carolina. I love watching coastal now. This is sort of something that I like to do a little bit in the off season is watch teams whose schemes are just way ahead of the curve in college because more so when they add McDaniels, but even now, they'll probably dip into some of those college offenses to try to pull some things. It's not like they're going to reinvent their whole offense around a team like coastal. But coastal scheme wide open zone run based, obviously, but a lot of the things that they do at coastal is all the trends, right? That's like what all the nerds want everybody to do is what coastal's already doing. They're really ahead of the curve type of team and type of program. It's a really fun team, especially on offense to watch them play. So again, what I'm saying, like, and I know we're kind of off the rails here, but this is what we like. This is the best content on the show. And we get into the theory of how teams are built or how schemes are built. I think that's when we're really in our bag on this show. So there's, I think, three coasts, I'm trying to pull up. There's three coastal players in the draft here, Isaiah likely, who's a local kid, by the way. Jeffrey gunter, who's a day three edge rusher, I can't pronounce his name. They have a wide receiver who's supposed to go in the 7th round. Next year,.

"I mean, those are the two options that you have. My guess is though, is that Bill Belichick probably thinks that wide receivers don't matter to a degree. And things that all of it's overrated. But I do think that in today's game you need to keep up a little bit. Sure. Yeah, and again, it's some of it's the way the board falls too, right? You know, just because you take a wide receiver in the first round, doesn't mean he's going to be that guy. Right. And I don't know what the momentum they built last year. I don't know that this team can afford another Nikhil Harry situation, where they can afford to miss. So let's say they like a lobby, they like Williams, those guys are gone. Should they force John Dodson if they don't believe in them? Just to get that guy. That's again, right? That's the benefit of the Devante Parker trade to me. Is that if you're not a 100% convinced that the guy that you have are thinking about taking is going to pan out for you and I know you're never a 100% convinced, but you know what I mean? If you're not really confident about it, now they don't have to reach on a wide receiver because they have enough NFL talent on the Ross or to not have to reach. But if Jameson Williams is there and Chris alava is there, if you get into the second round and you're on the clock at 54 and sky more is there or you feel great about John metchie and his health and his evaluation. Now you can find the right marriage between the board and what you're looking for and line those things up, but you got to take some stabs. You can't just sit back and not do not do it at all. It doesn't have to be in the first round, but you've got to start to take some bites at the apple here. So again, and I agree with you. But there's a fine line between that and it's just forced like picking players for the sake of picking them without going off the evaluation. That's why you get and I think day two early on day three is the spot to go. And for all of their issues with receivers, big picture, they've been okay with slot guys. Granted a lot of them were undrafted, but they Edelman's, I guess his own thing. If you want.

"The idea of because I've talked about this before like they would run matchy just vertically out of the slot at Alabama and Mac was great with that. Mac was great, 'cause it's covered differently. It's a little more maneuverable as a quarterback. Take Nelson Aguilar, put him in the slot inside devonta Parker, have Parker use his size to come over the mid like this is, you know, kind of a basic example, but Parker slants over the middle, that clears out you shoot Nelson agler up the scene like that, like that's the kind of stuff they're doing at Alabama, goes big receivers come over the middle and use their size and traffic, you take the quick receiver, you run them up the hashes where he's dealing with a slot corner of safety, not a boundary corner, like that's where max success at Alabama cut came from. It's where two are like, that's the Alabama offense. That's when they're at their best. That's what they're doing. They didn't really have that option in the slot. Myers a good slot receiver, but he doesn't have the speed. He doesn't have the speed to play that way. If Nelson Aguilar can start taking some snaps out of the spot out of the slot, that could be big. That could really change the way things move. Yeah, because I think a lot of us make sense. No, yeah, I think a lot of us have been this is where I was going with the next honestly. I wanted to talk about Nikhil Harry too, which we'll get here in a second, but this speed slot role that Nelson Aguilar could potentially play now that they have a true outside guy on the boundary and he doesn't have to do that. It's a big part of this trade in my mind as well because like you said, if you watch Alabama, whether it was waddle, a smithy, whoever it was, Matt Jones had to have had, I don't know the exact number. I mean, 50 plus completions off of over routes, right? Crossing routes going over the middle of the field. And like you said, it's a different route because what you're doing really is you're attacking the safety in the middle of the field. And you're trying to stretch. A lot of teams will play it single high, especially against teams that run the ball well, and you get that over route going against a single high safety, and you can run into a big pocket of space on the other side of the safety. And that's a big part of that offense. When you look at it and you say, okay, well, why does throw that ball well? That route, as much as it's not the timing Julian Edelman Wes Welker option route over the middle, you have to pace it out, right? Because the receiver is moving from left to right. And you have to be able to hit the spot with the ball. You have to be able to throw it to the landmark that coal receiver and quarterback are on. So that timing and accuracy is really important in order to make that route work..

"If you don't have a box safety or a linebacker that can run with tight ends, if you don't have an inside defender that can hang with two good slot receivers and born and Myers, they might not have the best receiving core on paper. They might not have tyreek hill, they might not have devonte Adams, but they have a bunch of different guys that can do different things and are good in different ways. And I think that that's kind of what they're going for here with this Devante Parker trade. On the one hand, I do have reservations because he's not that route runner that we've seen work here in the past. This is not Julian Edelman. This is not less Welker's is not Deion branch even, right? This is a true big outside receiver that wins at the catch point. That's not typically what they do well. And you mentioned that 2019 season with Ryan Fitzpatrick, the one difference I would say, I would agree that Mac is obviously a better quarterback than Ryan Fitzpatrick. But Ryan Fitzpatrick is a Yolo quarterback. He's somebody that is a gunslinger, that's gonna be willing to throw those jump balls down the field. And willing to push the football outside the numbers. Is that going to ever be a high volume role in this offense? Does Mac Jones gonna give a guy like devonta Parker 40 contestant targets a year? Because that's how you produce in that role is if you have volume and then you turn that volume into a 50, 55% catch rate and now all of a sudden you have good numbers. Is that ever going to be a big enough role in their offense or are they really looking at Parker as more of a niche guy that when they wanted to use that role when they get that one on one backside when they are in the red zone potentially down by the goal line they want to throw them a fade or have them box out in tight quarters is he more of a niche guy or is he a volume guy for the Patriots moving forward? I think is something that remains to be seen with this trade..

We talked about the Browns this summer, and I said, Look, I think their expectations need to be to win a Super Bowl like I don't I don't see.

That's the relationship that will determine it. There can be good, but if they if Baker and Odell don't get some chemistry, I don't know if they can be great. Like they need that dynamic receiving threat? No, I don't think I don't think Look. Oh, BJ is certainly an important part of the team's success that they could potentially have. But for whatever reason, if he just becomes the second or the third best receiver on their team, I think they'll be fine because the defensive side of the ball has gotten better. They went out and they got Troy Hill and John Johnson from the Rams. We know that they signed Davian Clown need to pair him with miles geared. I think when you look at them overall, they get greedy Williams back at the whole second decision, they so they get the whole secondary back. Max. On top of that. Offensively, We know what they have a second time around right? They are now in the offense for his second time. This is not new to them like it was last year took him the second half to kinda get going and we saw what they can be. With all that being said. I don't know if they can steal up seed Kansas City. They're still going to be a very good football team. There's no question about it. But I don't know if they're quite Kansas City. Yes, Well, look, I think the outlying factor here is can Baker Mayfield improve upon the second half of last season in the second half of last season? He was drastically a different dude. He commanded the defense Now the Dolphins. Now if you want to say hey, with O B. J not being on the field and natural about him to go through his progressions quicker because he had the force of although BJ, So we've seen that maturation of Baker Man field as a quarterback if you can sustain or take it to a new level, that elite performance Considering all the aspects that they brought to the team. This team is loaded. Let's not act like they're unloaded there. But But the narrative that was set out there about Baker Mayfield, forcing the football to O. B. J. That's just a bunch of and it's not You, J. It's just what people tried to put out there. That was a bunch of nonsense. He was not. He did not get better because they lost O B. J. He got better because he started to understand exactly what Kevin Stefanski wanted him to do within the offense. Uh, it just saw the coincide. With O B. J getting hurt. I never said that he got better with O B. J being off the field at all I was saying was that look, you are demonstrative personality when you're on the field. The quarterback is not secure with who he is. And you're saying Give me the ball. You cannot tell me and I've had this as a point guard. I play with dudes like this. Give me the ball at this spot. Now there might be other reason might be open. But in the back of your mind if you're not sure of where you are and who you are as a player, you're going to be looking to that the marshal personality because they demanded. They're used to doing that. Now that person goes out, then all of a sudden you start finding the rhythm of the game just slightly different. I think there are two things going on one Baker. Mayfield had four head coaches and about two seasons like two seasons and the game four head coaches 33 very bad ones, too. Yeah, that's the point. By the way, you think about Alex Smith. Well, he had all these different OSI's early on three bad head coaches. Fought like by the way, they're unemployable in the NFL right now. Bad, right? Okay, followed by the right guy for you, and then he took off but key, So I think it's largely to do with that. And and and by the way, the Browns have a great offensive line, protecting the pastor blocking for the run. But key Odelein and Odell and Baker did not have chemistry. I'm not. I'm not pointing to that as the reason they weren't good. They did not have chemistry. They need it. But they didn't have chemistry. But at the same time, Max, it was new to them. Baker got better as time went on. O B. J just happened to be hurt. So it coincided with the injury. It wasn't if if O. B J was there and we 12 We would have seen something different..

Alabama SEC Football Predictions for 2021
"Feel like discussions of national championship should be perfect segue when we looked to break down the defending champion from season ago and paint. I don't think it'll surprise anybody. When you look at alabama fan duel sportsbook there less than two to one to win the national title there an overwhelming favorite to come out of the sec west at minus four fifty. And when you look at their win total. It's eleven and a half shaded to the younger. Of course we know that the most electric offense that we've seen in tuscaloosa will not bring back a lot of their key. Playmakers nausea harris and of course devante smith taking their talents to the nfl combining for fifty five touchdowns last year. Mack jones get gone of course as well. But it's rare if you're a team in college football you bring in two former. Nfl head coaches and bill. O'brien and doug marrone to help pass the baton to the next heir-apparent embrace young under center. I don't know how much they're actually going to do. Or how much you actually want him to do. Listen nick listen. Nick and hope that they can keep players on the straight narrow that are collecting seven figure paydays at least on the books under an i l. arrangements compared to Bitcoin trust and everything else. They used to collect in the past the one thing with alabama that they've adhered to under this offensive. Change the last few years is that our offense is not changing. If you're coming into the sabin rehab program you're going to adapt to our offense or guys aren't constantly learning new systems and it seemed work but when i look at alabama's dominant they've been with nick. Sabin the only one back to back championships wants it. Feels like with his system. Continuity plays a large role. And that's something alabama's offense that you alluded to just doesn't have this season now. No one's feeling bad for alabama the way they were crew. But you're replacing. Six players drafted in the first twenty four picks five on offense and totally replacing three starters along the line to starting receivers a tight end and a quarterback and it's not just the players four offensive assistance. Four offense of analysts. They've all moved on. So alabama's offense is gonna regress. That is not a question. It's happening the real question for me. Is how large dip.

"You your neck of the woods, Philadelphia. They have the new coach, they're bringing in a new offense. And the word on the street is that Jalen hurts is learning the offense to this point. Very, very well. He's grasping and he he has the understanding of what they're trying to do. What do you think? Realistic expectations. They're gonna be entering this season for for Jalen Hearts and his first season as the true starter. Think with Jalen hurts. What? We're going to see That man is He did not turn the football. I think that's the key not from from the football. I think he's gonna put up numbers no matter what, because in today's NFL Let's face it. It's a league for running. Quarterbacks like the Eagles want to go. That route. They saw the Mark Jackson had to fly home can do it. Aaron Rodgers can do it. You know these guys to run the football and they great places they're like, But Jalen hurts. Well, I want to see is the accuracy and what he could do with a healthy offensive line. In the bedroom cast of skill position players. That's why they dresses. What exist someone he has chemistry with and who, by the way is going to be good right off the bat is rookie year. I really think generally hurt just good enough to get this team. You know, in the 70 10 wind rain. I don't think the Eagles are necessarily a good game, but I think Jalen hurts. It's good enough that you could build around him. And I think the biggest thing for the Eagles is this guy, a franchise quarterback if he is They have three first round picks and 20.2 and they were going to be more set to fill holes on the rocks and rebuild can go a lot quicker than expected. But it's not the needles go back to the drawing board. That's what I did find one good year for them to rebuild so they could see what they got your stuff. They drafted as you mentioned it, Devante Smith,.

"With Aaron Rodgers wanting out of Green Bay, according to reports a night that ended with pick number 32, the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers going with AH, linebacker from Washington, Joe try on and there's a lot more to come. And there was a lot that was jammed in between those two big events. I thought it was really cool to thieve. The number of Alabama products six of them in the first round, which ties the record set by Miami. Back in 2004. I was thrilled to see Devante Smith go at number 10. Overall, The Eagles actually moved up to get in which I think is neat and they traded with E. Dallas Cowboys, their NFC East rival to grab Devante, and he's impressed me not only on the field, but off the field as well. Patrick's or Tan Hey, was sporting an incredible pink suit, though, is a lot to like about what we saw with the Alabama contingent. But also did you know it's the first time in any NFL draft that seven Players from one side of the ball were taken with the first seven picks in a row.

"Mock draft three point. Oh is available on. Espn plus right. Now and here. We go no surprise at the top. Trevor lawrence has been there and we'll be there for the moment and started to the moment. That pig is made. He's going jacksonville. And that's not going to change at number. Two mel projects the jets to stay put and select quarterback zach wilson who would be the team's highest drafted quarterback since they took joe nemeth thousand nine hundred sixty five at number three. We have a trade that panthers would move up from number eight to select justin fields from ohio state carolina getting its quarterback of the future miami. Picking up more prime picks. And the falcons make it four for four to begin the draft selecting their quarterback of the future trae lanes. Should it go this way. It would be the first time ever that quarterbacks go with each of the first four picks in the draft. We take a look at the rest of mel's top ten. After the four consecutive quarterbacks we see some other names you will get to know. Kyle pitch superstar tight end. More pass catchers jamarcus devante smith jail waddell notably absent on this screen. Max jones the fifth quarterback in this first round the star from alabama who mel projects. Going number fifteen to the new england patriots and let's start there because mel we spoke about this the last time you broke this down for us. You had max jones going considerably higher namely number eight overall. Why do you see this drop. Greenwich carolina eight with matt rule had max jones at the senior bowl practices where he was exceptional right. So you figure carolina's stuck at eight. They would look at mack. Jones new england and fifteen is built. Bellichik nick sabin connection and obviously looking at a quarterback to get back to. Maybe the tom brady days. Okay get your that type of quarterback which is what mack jones is his style and the way he goes about his business as a pocket passer so once carolina in my mach three point. Zero was moving up to get justin field. Mack jones next opportunity to come off. The board for me would be new england at fifteen.

"The Heisman Trophy winner? Devante Smith? What kind of pro? Do you think he's gonna make? Similar to Mack Jones in the sense that I think he's more dynamic. He's probably more NFL ready. He's a complete receiver. But with that lack of size and the stunt that he pulled the Senior Bowl. I don't think he's a good receiver for every single offense. I think if you're cold weather offense, you may shy away if you you know, you like to run the ball a lot. And you want your receivers to block downfield. A lot of the Baltimore Ravens, you may shy away from him. I think in Atlanta Falcons offense, the thousands who obviously don't need another issue, but that's sort of offense. Maybe even what the Miami Dolphins are trying to do. I think he'd be a very good fit. And the stunt that you're talking about. You're talking about him, refusing to be measured at the Senior Bowl. Not only just measured, but why did he even show up Because he didn't practice? You know, he took a roster spot and he went there and basically did nothing so not being measured was You know major blemish, but then he doesn't show up the practices, which I just thought was just really a bad public relations move. Yeah, we and we're for an Alabama player. I mean, like you think you know, coming on the next savings program. You'd be pretty buttoned down from that respect. Absolutely. Especially since you know his quarterback was there. You know, perform well. He had his left tackle there in Alex Leatherwood, who performed the offensive tackle. Brown was there and, you know, Granted, this was a different year in the sense that you didn't have. Hands. They're watching Senior bowl practices. But usually the Alabama players are the highlight of senior Well practices obviously is and reasons the event takes place in Alabama. But when he had all those other times even is running back a guy even the running back now Jay Harris, who measured in and then took a few reps here in there at practice. When he really didn't have to. It was just a bad move all around by the van to Smith. Hey, uh, Tony that we had several opt outs this year of guys that are viewed as his high draft picks. How did the How did the opt out? How did their decision to opt out or has it? Affected their draft stock either positively negatively or no effect at all. Well, I don't think it's going to affect anybody positively and only in the sense that these guys didn't get heart because they weren't on the field, but I think it depends on the player in the position. You can't broad brush it a guy like Penny Sewell of Oregon. I don't think it really affected him anyway. One shape or another. He's a terrific left tackle prospect. He's athletic. He was highly graded coming into the season, so I don't think a guy like that. Um, it's going to affect other guys will have to wait and see. My own personal point of view is guys like Michael Parsons of Penn State's celebs? Farley of the cornerback from Virginia Tech, I think is gonna have a negative effect on them. Parsons is a guy who's a great athlete. He's an explosive player, but his instincts or suspects Harley is a cornerback that showed flashed ability since his freshman season getting never put together one consistent year where we just basically dominated the opposition, and I think I've seen people talk about him as a top 15 pick. I don't agree with that on Lee because of the fact that he was very streaky at Virginia Tech, and I thought he really needed to play this season. Where the strength of this particular draft in the 1st and 2nd round Tony what? What positions of the positions of strength. Quarterback as we you spoke about earlier. I like the receiver class. I don't think it's his death at the lower end. But when you're talking about the first, you know 100 picks. I think it's very strong. I think it is a very strong offensive tackle class really strong, offensive tackle class. I think you know if you get caught. If you get past Kyle pitch is gonna be a very early selection. I think there is some good death at the at the tight end position and day two. Who are a few names that really helped themselves out at the senior Bowl of guys. Maybe you have any of you mentioned back Jones earlier. Who are some other guys that maybe were a little off the radar, but they've all of a sudden put themselves in the conversation to be in the mix, you know, moved up a day in the draft. Let's say Yeah, I think guys that were kind of off the radar outside the scouting community, Dwayne Eskridge. The smaller but explosive receiver out of western Michigan on Lee practice two days because he suffered a pectoral injury on day three but could not be stopped. I mean, he was separating from defenders every which way possible through his route, running with his speed down the field that was consistently 3 to 4 yards behind opponents. Any quote, everything thrown His direction. Obviously, the talk of the town has been Quinn miners, the small school guard from Wisconsin Whitewater who was absolutely dominant, I mean, basically had a alley market type of performance. Ali Market, the offensive lineman from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who's that was Super Bowl champion. Went to the senior ball about six years ago and destroyed everybody. That's what Quinn miners did pass rushing drills run blocking. I mean top level talent, which is burying them day after day. Think Richie Grant, the safety from Central Florida also elevated his play. You know, the senior ball is you sort of like the combine you go to the Senior Bowl with expectations. And if you beat those expectations, you come out of it with the higher draft grade than when you went in, and that's what Richard granted because people thought his ball skills were suspect, and he was intercepting past day after day in the middle of the field out on the flanks. Really showed himself to be a complete safety. Does the lack of a combine. Did that AMP up the importance of the Senior bowl for a lot of these guys? Absolutely no doubt about it. I mean, really, the senior Bowl except for the whole of all, which had some decent talent there, but overall was nothing compared to the Senior Bowl. When you really get down to it. The Senior Bowl was the on Lee major free draft event that's going to take place this year. The shrine game No combine We hope we get a bunch of pro days, although we don't know what that's going to look like, so absolutely. And I mean in some cases I mentioned Quinn miners. There were some guys who opted out of season You'd mention the opt out before it. Nico Collins and the receiver from Michigan and every Thomas, the cornerback from Michigan. It was the only chance that a lot of these guys are the first time that the guys have played football competitive football in more than a year, so absolutely was incredible importance on the Senior Bowl this year.

"I think got a little overshadowed by You know Jerry, Judy and Henry rugs and then both going in the first round. When it came down to it, too, had the ball in 2019 before getting hurt. Avanti Smith. More often than not was the guy getting in those crucial situations. Obviously, we a lot of people remember the game winning touchdown when they were both freshmen in the national title game, and they just seem to have a special connection. I'm sure that will factor into the Miami Dolphins evaluation of Devante. He went down to the Senior Bowl this week couldn't play because of the hand that he suffered the injury suffered in the national title game. He just wanted to hang around and be there and convince the Dolphins that he loves football and convinced them that he should be the pick of three and I mean, you're right. There are always exceptions. You just have to ask yourself. Is he gonna have trouble in the physical aspect, like getting off of press coverage? I don't know, man, his his route precision, his quickness off the line. His burst You know, he works back to the ball. He does so many little things well. I'm willing to suggest that the way it should really be that big an issue Eric and home joining us here on CBS Sports Radio Carl Dukes in the day. NFL draft for Yahoo Sports. Check him out. Follow him. Um, for me. The draft starts in two. And here's why Trevor Laurence gone. We know that Jacksonville Urban Meyer's It's a done deal. The draft started to because if the Jets believe in Donald, then they don't have to go quarterback. They got a new coach, though, and he comes from the defensive side of the football. So who's the best defensive player? If the Jets go defense and not quarterback, right or or even if they trade that pick to a quarterback needy team moved down a handful of slots because I don't know that there's a defender. Would take it too. I just don't think Let's start a corner, right? I mean, you have Caleb Farley of Virginia Tech. He opted out. You have Patrick's lieutenant Alabama. Really good players. Second pick in the draft, boy. I don't know. You know, we saw Jeffrey Oh kuda struggle is the third selection last year. Orders don't typically go quite that high. So you know safety. Is there one? I would take their no linebacker? Probably not in this era. No, you know, pass rusher. There's a lot of players I like. I don't know that there's that one who's clearly head and shoulders above the rest. It's probably one of the week or defensive tackle classes as well. So you know, I just don't know that there's that one. Guy. At that spot who would be worth taking It number two And then the question becomes, boy. Okay, if it's if it's an offensive player and non quarterback there You know, seeing questions exists. I think it's a bit of a strange year, so I think the trade down option is best. And then let's see where they land. Are they still picking? You know 4th 5th 6th, or they're going a little farther down and accumulating feature picks. But, yeah, I'm the defense's side of the ball there a lot of players I really like. I don't know that there's that one guy, though, that I truly love and would feel great about taking in the top five real quick. We've heard a lot about Gregory Russo Miami, he opted out had a great year, but We didn't see him this year is he considered to be the best pass rusher? Turkey study. He's got amazing upside right? 15.5 Sacks is a redshirt freshman. Give me a break. But again, a lot of that was on athleticism. Just pure rock talent. It wasn't his pass rush technique. He's a little refinement. He is not universally beloved. But there's a lot of fascination with what his upside could be. Eric, May. I appreciate you today. Great stuff. Listen, this is gonna be a lot of fun. And it is gonna be so intriguing. It just It's gonna be so much for the dark time of the year, man. These guys gonna play Hey, man, have a great day.

"We're going to a breakdown in practices today. The first one was the national team practice. This is the one that has Devante Smith. We mentioned there were no top 10 picks out here. There are no Monty Smith is a top 10 pick. But he's not practicing this week because he's got the hand injury right, still recovering on that, but smart move by him getting in front coming out here, get in front of a team that potentially could draft him. I really do feel like the Dolphins probably will draft him. Um eh, So, like smart move by him to get out there and be in front of those coaches get some exposure to that, you know, kind of gets on top of top of mind Awareness that get ready for the draft. That was funny. Milk. Hyper had the Jets. Taking him. In his latest mock so number two overall pick Devante Smith going in front of the Dolphins, so the Dolphins not able to get in a cell for Jamaar Chase, which is not such a bad settle. There, but they obviously like to pair Tuas long as they keep him, you know, because the rumors out there that Shawn Watson might get traded. There was long as they keep to a tongue of my low It makes all the sense in the world to bring in the Heisman Trophy winner. Monty Smith. So hey, was not practicing. Not you. Here is I saw a video from Jim Nagy of him taking a hand off or something, but I didn't see him practicing otherwise, Not much. There was really what much from him today, and I don't expect her to be much from him. Most. These Alabama guys kind of show up a little bit back might have to do something because you know, he might be the one that he got out there and started throwing the ball got eclipsed by the guys that were with him. Might have to go out there and sling the ball a little bit kind of prove himself all over again. But the other guys, I mean, they're they're already at the top marks for their positions, so I don't think there's much for them to do. You can't improve yourself. If you're already the top guy at your position. The only thing you could do is have a disaster. Stay go down. So you know that's why you gotta be careful when you come to these kinds of things. If you're that guy you don't wanna You know, you don't wanna go the wrong direction. No, of course not. And you know, we'll get into the American team here in just a little bit coached by Carolina, but Let's just for a moment. I wanted to ask you something because you've been doing this now. You said about 11 years coming to mobile and somebody was asking me on Twitter is a little bit ago about you know, is this guy a day? Three guy and I said, Well, he has a chance to move the day too. But even just having a good day, one of practice does not necessarily make for any necessary changes to where your projection is going to be mean. I know I get. We talked last night about the difference with scouts saying what media might say. But you got to see this as the entirety of the week like the whole arc of the week Because what happens on day one. We may change everything by day two or even day three. We we've come in here many times with the understanding or the prospect is Watch them practice on day one had some wild moments and then by Tae three, they're a little bit of a ghost or shell of what they showed on day one. It's kind of funny because you know those things that you have with. It's just a whole bunch of grid squares and you pull one and there's there's like a painting underneath it right. You pull one of the squares. You could start to see part of the painting underneath it, and that's what each of these are Each of these days. Each of these each games a player plays it. Everything they do is like one of these squares coming way to paint a picture and you don't know what's underneath. There could be a masterpiece. It could be a stick figure drawing and so when you You pull one. You get a little line there, though. There's something there and then you know, you keep pulling. You see a whole lot of white space after that, you know, so that that's what it really is about. Body of work the entire body of work, and I know we get all hyped for one day And a lot of these guys, you'll see guys on Twitter this suddenly take one. Partial practice and turn a guy for about undrafted guy in the first round and all that kind of stuff. You gotta be careful with those kinds of things. It's about the body of work and, you know, so so for these guys, it's important not to overestimate that. But it is hard not to be excited if you see somebody out there making plays, especially if it's somebody maybe didn't didn't show up or didn't cross your radar for whatever reason till now. And so, you know, I get the excited that the main thing is to make sure that you're Getting the whole picture and the entire body of work and not just evaluating an awful one practice. Nothing that's really well said All right, Let's talk about some of the guys that showed up today. And very quickly. Let's talk just quarterbacks because everybody wants to know what the quarterbacks looked between Sam Elegir Felipe a. Franks and Let's see your Yeah, It's right in book from Notre Dame of those three quarterbacks who do you think had the better day and kind of a Polish book probably had the best day out of the three of you, but saying best, his relative I didn't think any of the three quarterbacks there were very impressive for the pay..

He's an accident waiting to happen and he's playing with a fractured thumb and the cold weather. And so i believe the packers defense although the not great i believe they can a few turtles out of him. Be a fumble or interceptions. Now aaron donald aaron says he feels great. Aaron donald play with a torn cartilage. Not me i had. That injury are in my ribs door to rip cartilage. Yup i tore my my real ended up when came loose my real extra protrudes a little bit now because there's not intact because the cartilage was torn. It was painful now. I don't know if anybody's ever had that skip. But sudden movements and aaron don lizzy sudden guy giving out a tooth gap and guy and even if he was. I mean just that third to feel that you don't realize how much you use your core until injure and then you realize the simple things brush not putting on your clothes brushing your hair. Imagine trying to play. Nfl football tried to move with three hundred pound man against wheel. Now you've got two hundred. Three hundred pounds man tried to move you against your will so it's going to be interesting to see not no. He's going to get the medication in there and and to calm it down in. So he's going to be very interesting. He might hip. Injury might not be as severe as my he might be able to tolerate more pain the not cooler. But that's not a very pleasant injury to play with in given that and everybody looking for the matchup everybody everybody would talk about. You know what they already talked about. Seventeen versus twenty. They will see jalen ramsey devante. Now i'm not sure how much jalen is going to travel now. I'm sure what jalen lineup was. I don't know if you've got to follow him in the slot. I don't know if he's probably left or right. But i've loved to see that. Because i know at some point in time. He's gonna have to come out on the side of with jason's zone and everybody wants to see that matchup.

The previous low was Clemson's went over Bama 2017 that drew 25.2 million last night. Drew 18 6. This year's number down 27% from last year's match up. 27% from last year's matchup. Not only an all time low for the playoff air, it's the lowest it's lower than every BCS title game that took place in the nearly two decades before the playoffs came to be, according to reports. Tonight. I am looking at from our friends at BET online, the odds to win next year's national championship No shocker Here. Bam of the odds on Favorite at 72, Clemson, 4 to 1 Odds. Georgia 4 to 1 Odds. Ohio State 13 to 2 odds. I see Notre Dame a 28 tow one. I see You see it 66 to 1. Indiana's that 101 in Kentucky at 100 to 1 that from our friends at BET online, Here's what impresses me about Obama and what Nick Saban is done. And I'm gonna expand on this with our topic is mentioned. Come again at 8 20 Nick Saban has has changed has adapted has changed with the Times adapted to what is going on recruiting wise. Um, offensive wise. He has tweaked his recruiting and his philosophical approach to bed. He's tweaked his offenses. God uptempo, embraced the AARP. Oh, no more. Big nose tackle. £350 nose tackles. No more £260 linebackers. It's it's defensive backs who could run in a thumbprint, the safety position and here's what is amazing to me. How much turnover he has on that coaching staff. And yet They don't miss a beat. I saw this note today in the athletic. I think it's incredible. At Alabama Saving has won national titles. With five different offensive coordinators. Jim McElwain. Nine in 2011, Doug Nussmeier 2012. Lane, Kiffin 2015, Brian Dabul 2017 Steve Sarkisian 2025 different offensive coordinators. He's won a national championship with He's won national titles with three different defensive coordinators. Kirby Smart, 09, 11, 12 and 15. Jeremy Pruitt 2017 Pete Golding. This year, there were zero assistance on this staff. That worked on the 2017 staff. Let that sink in in terms of the turnover and the staff being flipped. And Alabama gets better. He will turn Nick Saban will 70 In October. And he just reeled in the number one recruiting class in the country for 2021. Masterful in what he's done. I've looked at to mock drafts today. As they relate to Devante Smith, the Alabama wide receiver who I had visions dancing in my head last night of Devante Smith, lining up in a spread offense with Tyler Boyd. And tea, Higgins. Todd McShay has Devante Smith tag teaming with to, uh and the Miami Dolphins. Jacksonville takes Trevor Laurence one. The Jets take Panay Sul to Miami takes Devante Smith at number three. Atlanta takes the quarterback and a BYU Zach Wilson at four and Todd McShay has to the Bengals at number five ratio on Slater, offensive lineman Northwestern I have no idea. If that's valuer that does not seem like value that seems more need on. I think that's an elevation of need, because I haven't seen anybody else who has ratio on Slater as high as the number five worthy in the draft. The second best offensive. I mean, in theory, going number five overall to the Bangles ratio on Slater is a guy like pennies. Panay Sul opted out this You did not play this year. Todd McShay, says Slater projects best is an interior linemen, possibly a center, but he also has the experience of both left and right tackle..

No. 1 Alabama wins national title over No. 3 Ohio State
"BK. You guys. The Alabama Crimson Tide didn't just roll. They steamrolled Ohio State 50 to 24 last night in Miami to win the college football National championship with the victory. Bama head coach next seven, picks up his six title in Tuscaloosa, seventh all time and surpasses legendary Tide coach Paul Bear Bryant. I think coach Brian has, you know, sort of in a class of his own in terms of what he was able to accomplish what his record is, and I mean, he's the one that made Alabama and the tradition of Alabama a place where lots of players wanted to come say they've got some all time performances from his offense, including Heisman winning wide receiver Devante Smith, who said a championship game record with 12 catches Go along with 215 yards and three touchdowns, and he did it all in the first half, because you'd injure his hand early in the second half and be done for the night. His to be Mack Jones through five TDs completed 36 45 passes for 464 yards and running back now you Harris found the ends on three times as well. The rockers search for a new GM is taking a step

"devante" Discussed on KNBR The Sports Leader
"I mean, this team is loaded now. Watto is projected to come back in this game. Likely to play a little bit. If I'm Ohio State. I'd be more concerned about Devante Smith than Jalen waddled to but because I just don't think with the layoff of eight weeks, nine weeks And a broken ankle that he's going to be in football shaped tow. Give them 40 plays 50 plays. He may be able to give them or, you know, with kick returns in that area on special teams, But if if it were me, my poison would be listed. Let's double Devante Smith, and if we lose to jail and Waddle in its first game back after two months, so be it. You know, that's what the way I would look at it. And then there's Justin Fields. I mean, how healthy is he with the ribs? Clearly, he's going to have to take a pain. You killing shot to be out there. You don't get over red in a week or 10 days like that. I would imagine that Ohio State will run him less in this game. And that's a little bit of a problem for them. How much can he handle? How much can he take? And you know if they're close, and it's ah, third quarter for quarter. That's the time when I would expect that he'd say, Look, Run me now. You know it's worth it now at this point in the game Roger the best man. I was appreciate your time when you could check in with us talking college football. One of my favorites here. Of course. You have them in the East Bay like where I'm from. So I love talking college football with you, man. Catch up with you down the road, Right? Well, I love being on. So anytime. Please have me and hey, let's keep this. He's taping rolling. All right. Good stuff arrived over of ESPN. The National championship tonight. Six o'clock kick 5 15.

Chicago Bears Lose To Green Bay Packers, But Are Headed To Playoffs
"Patriots aren't even that. Close the steelers at thirty two. The forty niners next. I'll then the cowboys and only then do we get to new england and a few spots down from that we get to the green bay packers and the frozen tundra of lambeau field which is where they could clinch the number one seed through these playoffs if they were to take care of business in chicago. Yesterday dan aaron rodgers putting on a show green that throws out sleep ridiculous finding all the way on the backside and just that flick of the wrist on love. This play realizes pressure doesn't want to get the motion offbeat that blitzing nickelback. I've gotten nbs on a linebacker down the middle feel. That's an easy touchdown. For the greatest quarterbacks ever look at them just a flick of the wrist right up where that trailing the linebacker beautiful play by rodgers and ensuing drive because they were hanging around for much of this this mitch trubisky. This is cole. Command this ball is coming out. And that's the last thing in the world you need to do as the packer defense will celebrate is give more chances because dan you know he knows what to do. Exactly greenwich see the empty. I'm going to scan. I'm going to scan them skin. I got protection that i'm gonna get trailing linebacker. That lime tight end. Linebacker doesn't do his job carrying vertical touchdown green bay rogers in the first half ten of ten. The one fifty five and three touchdowns is that good jones taking it in for score. Twenty eight sixteen bears trying to hang in there and then they're not you got. That seem route your tight end and the safe the amos cla- classes on it. You got across his face. Mitchell trubisky doesn't see the same way as the tight end turnover chicago the packers after the pick. There's devante that's the fourth touchdown of the day for aaron rodgers who puts the finishing touches on. Here's mvp resume and the road to the nfc or through the nfc. We'll go through lambeau field. You don't see the packers on the screen. Because they get the by the wildcard next saturday. You got the rams at seattle.

Notre Dame Ranks in Top 5 College Football Programs
"I watched the clips of brian. Kelly press conference and he looked like he was exact exasperated. And i don't know if you're a notre dame fan. How do you feel about this. Because he's i mean he's a really really good coach. We do these top. Twenty five lists every year and brian. Kelly definitely should be in the top five and they have really good players. But i don't know and he's right alabama's done this to almost everybody. They actually didn't do it. The florida but you know was there were still you know it's like we'll see if ohio state gets closer. So let's let's fill people in on the quotes if they didn't see them after the game not surprisingly. Maybe he was surprised. I don't know he was asked a lot about. How does the here how frustrating the question was how frustrated is. How frustrating is it to get to a playoff again lose by this margin the margin not the issue. Losing his losing. I don't know really. What the inferences. This football team battled and they made more plays they being alabama made a few more. Plays on the perimeter. I'm not sure really what the question is when you lose football games you know. There's a few more plays jeff to make. We had the opportunity. You watch the game. I watched the game So everybody needs to continue to carry this narrative that not not good enough. Look at the scores of the games. The albums played all year. And i think when you start changing the narrative little bit then somebody asks as you look at it. You feel like the program has gotten a lot closer. What's the next step. You feel like you guys could take need to take i. I don't really wanna continue to go down this path. We're going to keep getting here okay. And we're gonna keep banging at it and you guys watched the game in you. They had the college football player of the year. Who made some dynamic place. We battled. We were right there. So we're going to keep getting back here. And i'm sorry i don't like it or the national media doesn't like it but we're going to go back to work we're gonna keep recruiting. We're going to put ourselves back in this position again I mean i know. He's got to defend the program. And you know what's he going to say like. Oh yeah we're we're we've got a ways to go But you're right like if you're ordering fan who who still believes deep down the program. That should win the national championship. How do you feel about your coach. Basically coming on saying he's basically trying to say yeah. We don't have a devante smith. We don't have nausea harris. But we were good enough that like if we caught them on the day we could one maybe is that is that we took from it. Yeah and i'm thinking about it. It's like this notre dame team. And i would say it from the last from the jalen smith Ronnie stanley era up. So whatever it is i guess. Maybe it's the last five or six years they've had like some special athletes right. I mean ronnie stanley elite talent offensive lineman jalen field. Jalen fields. Jalen was is home. Ultra talented linebacker. They've had Kyle hamilton is as athletic as any any safety. The country i mean they have some of these guys will fuller was as fast and dynamic as any receiver just about. I mean it's not like they haven't kyran williams of big time running back they just don't have quite enough of them right. I mean like they don't have any of them. It's not like you know. The the line from joey galloway said like northwestern's a bunch of reese davis's you know the inference there is like notre dame has has some guys who would play anywhere and they've always had a bunch of good offensive linemen. They have good tight ends. I don't think they're light years away from having like a team that could win a national title. I mean they're they're a top five team. It's just you know. I don't know like like maybe this is a better way to frame it. Like if they were playing ohio state they have somehow gotten by alabama. I mean Let's take alabama out of the equation if they were playing ohio state and somehow it was a two three game. Let's say let's say that it was just a playoff game but it wasn't. You know as the i. I could see Notre dame beating ohio state. Even after what. I just saw from ohio state alpha. If justin feels plays away did tonight. I couldn't but like i don't think it's out of the realm of possibility like i think there are. You know i watched their. I think notre dame's better team than georgia. I think not notre dame honesty's a better team than florida now. It's easy to say that after you've seen some of these teams get exposed some but lake and those teams. Those teams have played with alabama on a given night right. So i just don't think they have as much margin for error right
