"That they are always there doing these weird things with player evaluation. They're spending big money on a backup, running back and Kenyan Drake Maybe it's more so for me about The the front office and the coach that Vegas currently has, and less so about, especially the quarterback Derek Carr, sometimes even underrated. Um, that would be the one the only one that I would really disagree with you on and it's more about the Raiders for me than it is for the Ravens. Not don't do it on the Raiders. I think they're going to be one of the worst team. I don't disagree. It's a one game thing, though. I think do there at home in that crowd in that environment, welcoming the black hole really, for the first time, and I think they're just front runners. The Raiders are front runners when they're good under Gruden. They're good. They they do some nice things when they're bad. They're bad. They remind me a lot of Rex Ryan coached teams, actually, which is they plan so much emotion. There's so much various good, good comparison, right? There's so much variance. It's totally the opposite of Sean McDermott. Consistency, consistency, consistency. You just never know what you're getting from. The Raiders beat the Chiefs last year. Right, And did they take them down the stretch and their second game against Kansas City? I know for a long time Last year, they were the only team that beat Kansas City, so that point is valid that when they're at their best, they are definitely better than a lot of the teams that they usually end up, finishing and around the standings. And then so Houston. Houston. I don't know about. I think the roster on paper is one of the worst maybe we've ever seen. I am a big Tyrod guy in the Tyra defender during his time here in Buffalo, But I don't know what that's going to look like when he plays in an offense and on a team like he's about to play on. Because one thing Tyrod always played in In Buffalo, and even in the limited action he got in Cleveland in in L. A. He's had run heavy teams that are good on defense. He really has not had to take chances with the football because he can trust what's around him, and I think he's smart enough to know there are a million throws in the field. He just cannot make. But not just not turning the football over has been enough for him, and he's been able to win games only attempting 25 30 passes a game. What is Tyrod look like when The team is so bad around him that he's got to start throwing the football 40 times a game. What does Tyrod look like in a pass heavy offense? I'm not sure the Texans want that. But I think inevitably, what's going to happen this year is they're going to have to throw the football. To get themselves into games. And I have no idea what Tyra is going to look like in an offense like that. I can't imagine it's gonna go great. We? We have to have more of a conversation on Tyrod as it gets closer here coming to buffalo, But you're right. I mean, look, he did some nice things. We know we can win some games. He's got to have everything right around him. That's the way I for Tyrod. He's gotta have. He can't carry a team right? Exactly. He's going to get the Jaguars. I mean, I don't think the defense is going to be good, but this is a point mainly about the Jags for me. Trevor Lawrence might be great going on the road to start his NFL career. And it's in a team that's had a lot of strife for the first few months, actually on an urban Meyer. I don't know what to think. Or expect from them, which isn't much by the way. Yeah, the The only thing that's holding me up on the Jaguars is I like their passing game. Well, I like I like the personnel they have in their passing him. I shouldn't say I like their passing game because I think Urban Meyer's doing some weird things with it. Yes, like he had Travis Ctn playing wide receiver. The same role of discussion. Ult was playing that had a pretty good rookie season for them. Um some of his schemes that have been coming out seemed to be a little strange. He had to bow playing tight end in the preseason. Um yeah, I have major questions about the coach there. So I I don't I don't mind betting against urban mired at least week, one week. One is always difficult, but I took three home underdogs. My first three dog Thursday segment of the season. Texans Giants. Las Vegas Raiders will take a time out and we come back. We'll touch real quickly on my NFL predictions and see if Joe agrees or disagrees with the division winners. I have the wild card and the eventual Super Bowl champion, including maybe award winners that I put out as well.

Have a fence installed this year. Well, it's absolutely not. But you have to act now and call my friends at JD Brick fencing they install year round. They even put my fence in December last year, and we absolutely love it. Imagine you let your dog out the backyard and a cold, the rain, the sleet, the snow and really you have no worries whatsoever.

"Last year went man I just I just think Sunday is going to is is just a stick of dynamite. In a good way. I hope only in a good way. It's unique to write like when's the last time I mean, there are games we've been hyped for they just playing the F C championship game. But like because of this, not because like words, we can't wait to see what happens. But like you just can't get way to get in there. Like right. I too. I talked about that a little bit last week on the nightcap, and I was having trouble coming up with anything Even Even remotely close. The closest I got to was Game one in the 06 playoffs against Philly, and that maybe was for me more so than than others because I was 12 at the time, and I really didn't remember either team in a playoff game. So for me that was like The first playoff game, like Let's just see what that looks like in there, and I can't wait for just the atmosphere itself. This is more of that, like I can't wait for the atmosphere, and I don't know when. The last time that's happened for either team. It certainly hasn't happened for the hockey demon. Well. No, no. And and, you know, But of course, you know you mentioned earlier. Like anticipating the 07 season like was the only other time in your life. You've had this sort of anticipation like those of us who are like closer to my age. Like, you know, 50 ish. I'm going to go 50 issue like that. Uh, 50 inch your stolen 50 ish range, right? Go in 60 years on 56. I'm okay about 50 years. Um, you know, we had those years in a row there from like 88 through really 99, where it was Just mostly every year you had some expectation. If they were going to be really, really good. And then you know, of course, the drought started and we went all that time. You know the hockey teams had their moments, of course, but It just It just pales in comparison. You know, I mean, I love hockey. Hockey is my favorite sport. Um, but I recognize where it just sits on the landscape, even in Buffalo like we love hockey. We love youth hockey. We love the You know, we love we love the NHL. We still love the Sabres. We hate them right now because we love them. Um, so we're a passionate hockey market. But like, you know, football is the NFL. It's just where it ranks. Nationally on the stage. It is the show. It's a much bigger show in a much bigger deal to be a big deal in that league than it is in hockey. Like as far as your profile goes and so to have this, um, coming at a time when you're Coming off of a season where you couldn't even go to the games. If you want to do is just it's such a great It's just such a great opportunity. I think for fans to like, make make memories. It's a great opportunity for the team. To make, you know it just create a memory for everybody, Uh, there's going to be out there and I just think it's going to be an all time special day. I really, really do. And that's you know, not knowing how the game is going to go. You know, I mean, it's obviously if it doesn't go the way you wanted to go. A lot of the steam gets taken out of what a memorable day it was. Instance, it becomes. It's like Quint, essentially the guy at the grocery store that I just talked about half an hour ago that can't wait to tell you how what's going to go wrong and what the demise is going to be and all that. Like. All right, dude, um You know, so you got to get the performance and you got to get the win and start the season off on the right foot. But I don't think going into a sporting event. There has been this part there's never been. It's unprecedented to have not been able to go to the games. So you have this anticipation he had the season. That was that was so great that you couldn't go to you can only you couldn't touch it. You could watch it. You couldn't really get there, and now you've got another season. That's about to start. On the heels of that memorable, incredible season that has deservedly high expectations. And like your you get to go to it, And I mean you just You hope you never have this situation again, obviously, because it would mean you didn't get to go to games for a whole year. But it is a really unique opportunity, and I just hope everybody makes the absolute most of it, Man because it is just the weather is going to be perfect. The opponent's perfect The bills. I mean, what? What? What are you supposed to be worried about? What? The bills Right now There's not to say like this is going to be a joy ride. Okay? I'm not saying that, but like You know, I might. You know how we we do this? Sal asked me that question on the show earlier 10 to 12 and I didn't have a good answer, right? Like what would you be worried about, like we we? We had our moments in the spring with I wanted Travis Ctn and Mike was worried that that would mean what that they're that they're going to give him the ball. If you're going to draft a guy 30th first round running back Well, then you're going to run it more than you have. Last year, and that's a problem. Well, not only did they not draft that running back, they didn't get a chance to draft that running back, I argued. Every time this. This subject came up like why, I don't think that they're going to change who they are. Just because they draft the running back. They're drafting or running back because he can help them. Do everything they want to do. That would be why you would do it. Um, but anyway, that didn't happen. There's no reason to me to think that the bills are going to change philosophically who they are. I think maybe the one thing that that might give you some pause is how McDermott handled the fourth down situations in the FC title game like Is that a troubling sign? That he is reverting to some more conservative traditional approach because they the bills were very aggressive on fourth downs appropriately so last season, and you know it played some part in their success. Gave themselves a better chance to keep drives alive and score more points. So they were. They were good at that, and they sort of backed away from it. In the big spot. McDermott really backed away from it in the big spot. I would bet He spent a lot of time thinking.

"And it makes you wonder if the depth of their talent Is not nearly as much as it was when they won those two championships. And that perhaps over the last couple of years, the depth of elite talent has dissipated or small, you know, got a little smaller. And that It was made up for with the generational talent like Trevor Lawrence and Travis Ctn and others. But that you remove a Trevor Lawrence from the equation. And now suddenly you get exposed a little bit. There's plenty of time for DJ to prove that he is a worthy successor. There's plenty of time for him to have 11 or 12. Great game from here on out. What I'll tell you this. Trevor Lawrence would have never looked like that. I don't care if that was against Georgia Defense or not, I don't care if it's against Alabama Defense. George Defense Ohio State defense You pick Trevor Lawrence never looked like that. So let's just scrap the he's a better version of Trevor Lawrence. He's got a better armed Trevor Lawrence. You can do this and that he looked slow. He looked on confident. He looked rattled. He looked and and the the pick six is a disastrous pass. He telegraphed the past. He throws it into double coverage, You know, DB steps up doesn't have to make a great play on the ball makes a good break on it sees in the hallway takes it to the house. It's a terrible throw in that spot. It's a bad reading a bad throw. That's an ugly night for Clemson. That's his ugly at night as Clemson has had in a long, long time. Over the weekend. Brian Kelly got in trouble with that Notre Dame Florida State game because Brian Kelly made the execution joke. When he made the execution joke about how do you feel about your team's execution? And he said, You know, maybe my entire team should be executed. Because the way that we played tonight I immediately knew what he was talking about, because it's a famous quote if you're a hardcore NFL fan from John McKay, head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in the seventies. The Bucks for an expansion team in 76. They lost every game of the 76 season, They lost their 1st 12 games of the 77 season. And he was He was an old guy who was a wise ass. Who was very sarcastic and was a great quote and John McCain come from dominant USC teams Dynasty USC throughout the sixties four national championships, So imagine Nick Saban taking over an expansion football team. But also be in a wiseacre, and that's the type of thing John McKay walked into. Like. I'm not used to losing 14 games. I'm not used to losing one game. John McKay was famously once asked at a press conference. How do you feel about your team's execution? And he said, quote. I'm in favor of it. Now that's way funnier than what Brian Kelly said. And John McKay was notably a funny guy. Really like a character and funny and Brian Kelly is not So what you had I thought was Tone and messenger problem. John McCain's jokes better. How do you feel about your team's execution? Quote? I'm in favor of it. It's just a really funny quip that does need a set up. Brian Kelly kind of fumble his way around. How do I feel that execution? I feel like maybe my entire team should be executed. The way we play tonight, You know, it's just not as funny. It's not as fast as not as quick. It's not as funny and it also doesn't happen in the middle of a dreadful expansion season, where it's kind of like Kind of a clown show anyway. The 76 bucks for a clown show, and John McKay was kind of commenting on that. Brian Kelly is road faced all the time. He's got a little better in recent years, but he's you know, he's churlish and short and angry, and you know he's not funny. And so he says, the same type of joke. But his delivery is way worse. His personality is not jokey. And he lives in the Twitter universe. And so he gets beaten up for this. Do. I think he needed to apologize? No. Because What's offensive about that joke? I mean, it's not an offensive joke. We live in a day and age where people just can't wait to trash anybody on social media. It is the culture of the sewer pit that is social media. It is. Predictable that that would happen. Should people have been offended? Should people have wanted his jobs. People have wanted a suspension. Should he have had to apologize? No. It's just interesting that you know you have to situations where one guy is funny. One guy delivers the joke well in a comical season. One guy's not funny, delivers the stroke poorly in a season where you just won a game. And Lives in a Stratosphere where everything is taken offense to and that is what truly sucks about everything. Now is everybody's offended about everything. When we come back on the show, Laban Kirkland's going to join us all NFL decade team of the 19 nineties stand out of Clemson. We'll talk to him about this brutal performance by the Clemson offense in How to pick up the pieces with an axe schedule where there's not a lot of good teams on it may.

"And by the time when I'm getting out, I'm thinking Well, I should have got insurance on this rent a car because it's probably going to be upside down by the time back out here. I mean, and you know how the radar fans dress? Yeah. You know, and and and they are just nuts and their fires all over there swinging swords, and it's just like and I It was the old. Not second knows there's two times I've feared for my safety. Um, but, yeah, I was just like I was nervous. I was scared in that place. The other time was when I was a very, very, very young broadcaster. I was working part time at the all news station here where I had interned also in Buffalo called W E. B R at the time, and I was also working at the airlines part time so I could fly for free. So what I would do is go to the Monday night games for the radio station because I can fly for free, right? And you know, it was cool. And I would get a discount hotel because I worked for the airlines and they go. Yeah, we can do that for you. Well, I went to New York for a jet scheme. And it was it was in the Kelly era in that group, and the bills got they were absolutely annihilating the Jets by halftime, and they started burning the place down. Basically, they started bonfires with hats. I saw some guy you know, a mini TV I saw some guy gets smashed over the head by a mini TV. There were fires everywhere. It fights everywhere, and I'm sitting in the press spot, and this is a night game. So by the time I'm done with my work, it's 111 30 in the morning and I'm thinking I got to walk out to my rent a car. Are you kidding me? I don't want to walk out of here. What am I going to walk into? And it was pretty rowdy in that parking lot, too, as I'm basically racing out there to get out of there. And I'm thinking what is going to happen to me here? It was craziness. There's only one city that I would say is on this list. For me. It's Philadelphia and having been to the vet. For Mets games when I was younger, That's the only time I ever thought like, I don't know if there's like a crazy fan or crazy fans. It was not, You know, Philadelphia, New York have a little bit of a rivalry. I don't know what it is now, and this was a long time ago. But I always I always worried about going to the vet because I thought their fans were just mean to fans of other teams. I never I was never brave enough to go to the spectrum. I would not go see like I never would have gone even if someone gave me tickets to see the Rangers play the Flyers at the spectrum now again. We're talking the 19 seventies. So the flyers then where the broad street bullies and they were getting in fights and everything. It was probably maybe there maybe the hockey version of Raider fans and I would never, ever set foot in the spectrum. It would have scared the living daylights out of my first road trip covering the Sabres gr. Wouldn't It worked? I would have gone to every other arena in the world, except that one because that just Philly fans have always worried me like I just think they're not the New York fans. New York City fans have their moments, too, as you just mentioned, but Philly fans always scared me. Hey, remember an iconic, um Writer from Montreal drove. He didn't want to fly. He drove to Philadelphia for a playoff series against the Flyers. And of course, he had that Quebec license plates. When he came out, all four of his tires were slashed My large, I'm not laughing because it's funny. It's just, um and his license plates were gone, and he's got to go back over the border. Yeah, they took his license plate, slash his tires, and now he's got to Get four new tires and try to get over the border with no plates. Welcome to Philly. Uh, some potentially bad news to pass along about Travis Ctn. This from Ian Rapoport from NFL Network ET en. Um Was listed as out indefinitely with a mid foot sprain. But Rapoport is now has tweeted. After the game last night, he was spotted on crutches. He's saying it's a Lisfranc injury and there will be further tests today. A source said. X rays were negative. The belief is it's just a sprain Exams today will termine how long he's out. I am not a doctor. I try not to play one on the radio. But from what I recall, Liz Frank Injuries can be really troublesome, uh, for players for athletes, because it's something that can linger for a while. It doesn't necessarily go right away. So I'm just Potentially some bad bad news for hopefully, not for Travis Ctn, really exciting player and loved watching him play at Clemson. 80305 50, who are one has impressed you through the first two bills.

He was 31. Those are your paddock. Chevrolet Headlines. Paddock Chevrolet with you for the extra mile. Next update at eight o'clock. Oh, anyway, part of the schedule. I think it's enough. In fact, I know it's enough. This is going to be a strange season for me, no matter what happens on the ice, it's gonna feel strange, but it's been coming for 51 years, and it's time it's time. Rick and Red Power the instigators yesterday, recently announcing this will be his final season. Broadcasting Sabres hockey We're trying to get to in a moment with Paul get his thoughts on that. Just a quick note did not have this in the headlines. But you might have been hearing a story Excuse me lately about college football and an alliance between three of the power five leagues. Um Yahoo Sports reported that yesterday. It's kind of the news will come out this week, perhaps today. Now Adam Rittenberg from ESPN is tweeting out a bit more info on the alliance. It's the Pac 12, the Big 10 and the A. C. C. There's an announcement scheduled for two o'clock this afternoon. Rittenberg tweeted no widespread scheduling principles outlined yet Many contracts in place uncertainty about the potential expanded college football playoffs, but some kind of alliance will officially be announced by the EC. The Pac 12 in the Big 10. This afternoon, apparently Paul Rick Jenrette. You grew up listening and watching hearing Rick Jenrette. Do Saber games. You've been able to work alongside him for quite some time in your role covering the Buffalo Sabres. What are your thoughts about one more season for the legendary broadcaster? Well, it's great for the Buffalo fans. They get to hear him again as he signed off last year. I think there was some doubt. As to whether you know he would be doing that or not, and, uh, it, you know, I know Buffalo Sabre fans are very happy that he's going to be around. I know it's only 20 games and they would want more. It sounds like Rick wanted more. But You know, and the Sabres wanted less so, but they had to, You know, come to an agreement, and Rick said they came to an agreement rather quickly on the 20 games, So it's great that He'll get that opportunity to do that. It's interesting, Paul. I mean you growing up here you grew up with Guys like Rick Ted Darling Van Miller, the legendary Phan Van Miller. And I've always said this and you. I think you understand this because you've done a lot of play by play in your life that special connection. That a play by play broadcaster especially one who does the same team for like. I mean, we're talking with Rick. We're talking 51 years. When you have that you have, you can form a really incredible special bond. With the fan base. When you're in that job, you're good at it, and you do it that long. And you cover generations of fans of that team. Yeah. He spoke yesterday that he had some offers to leave. And never even consider them. There wasn't even an option. This was his city. This was his team. This is what where he wanted to be. And brick generated. You want to get Rick generate cranky. Call him the voice to the sabers. I know, right he correctly is. I did that once very, very staunch on that. That Ted darling, Yes, the voice of the Sabres. He is not. I did that once with him and he corrected me And actually, I I did it with Murph one time, too, and he also corrected and said That's Van Miller. Mhm. So, yeah, it's funny. You mentioned that. Yeah, they both have a very keen sense of history and and what it means and what other people have meant to the city. Even though Rick has done it a lot longer than Ted. Darling did. Ted Darling was the guy from day one. Rick came on in season two. And Rick feels very strongly about that. Yeah, and it's so it's interesting. It's It's sad on the one hand that he's going to go out with the team where we expect they're going to be And and you know, the the playoff drought and all that stuff because you know, we we played a clip yesterday, Jody B. S. He put together a mix tape basically of summer. Rick's best calls and one of the clips that rating played on the show yesterday was the JP Doom on goal. To beat Ottawa and what was it would have been game three. I think of that series, right? And, you know, you think of the you know, jury and offend again up against the Rangers in the playoffs. You can think of may day. I mean, all that even, you know, Rob Ray rag dolling. What? Lamu? I think Claude Lemieux you fog game way back when you're a bear scoring in the fog. Yeah, And I've heard that call, too. And it's just You know, that's part of a guy who reaches the status Rick has reached is that you know you listen to such he's known for some la la la la la la La Fontaine. He's got catchphrases. He's got gold calls. He's got some memorable moments that you can actually you could play the call back in your brain in your head because you've heard it and you identify with it so much. Absolutely. I mean, that's why he's such an icon because Uh, you know, fans just relate to his calls, and there And that's the things they aren't rehearsed. Um, I won't say who the person is because I don't want to embarrass them. But there's there's a play by play person in the NHL right now who I have seen sit in his booth with a page of cliches. Trying to memorize them. And it's just like, Are you kidding me? Yeah. I mean, you know what that's going to sound like when you get to it. And that's not Rick generate at all. He doesn't rehearse anything that comes natural. You know, As he says, may day he doesn't know where that came from It just it just comes out. You know, First of all, he's a witty, smart person and you know, he he understands he he can take in the gravity of the situation immediately and be able to translate it to the fans and comes up with these iconic calls and trust me. They are not rehearsed. They they come out. Just the way they are, and he has no idea that he's going to say as he said, How does he know Brad May's going to score a goal like that? They hadn't scored in 18 games. He's gonna Why would you? Why would he be rehearsing that he's going to score and he's going to undress Ray Bork on the way to doing that? No, I always find that amazing again. And I think it's a really cool discussion because of play by play background that both of us up. I can't do that. I'm not that good. I've always been amazed by that ability. I think Jim Nance is one of those guys that C and again I I don't know if he does think of it beforehand in his head. But his golf calls or you know the a basketball championship or anything. I think to have the ability to Al Michaels, I think is good at that.

"And as much as there's this microscope, and he's living in a fish bowl right now is the number one overall pick as the future savior of any franchise that would have selected him. It happens to be the Jaguars. I Think if you look at his track record, even going back to high school before he was at Clemson, but definitely at Clemson at the highest levels of college football on the national championship state championship stage. Say that really fast a bunch of times more than once he is equipped to handle it. And yet he's humble about it. He knows that there are still a major learning curve and to hear him talk about it and to hear him recognize. Hey, I've got this to work on that to work on. You understand that he's in the right headspace. Just got to get a little bit better getting the ball out taking completions, Um, staying out of second and long and third and long makes it really hard for coach Bev and as an offense, it's just hard to convert all those third and long, so That's that's part of me to stay ahead of the chains and then just the whole offense. We got to click a little bit more, still got some work to do. We're not balanced right now. And when you get you know you have stuffed on were too many seconds off of, uh, off schedule plays in the first half, you know, three threes and out other than that one first down, So, um, that And then then the red Zone today, as you know, Trevor, the nice job and a two minute drill and then little pounded in there so Got to get her offensive line back and play better, you know, and, uh, run the ball. One reporter asked Urban Meyer why Trevor Lawrence isn't getting all the reps with the number ones after this game. If he wins it, you know which that hasn't happened yet. So as soon as that happens, then you give them the wonder ups all one reps if he wins it. That hasn't happened yet. Stop it. Would you really cut off your nose to spite your face, and maybe he's being sincere? Or maybe he thinks that he's being sincere. Certainly do your due diligence and do what's best for the team. That part I get. But come on. In a season in which you are starting fresh. You're starting from scratch. You got the number one overall pick that that pretty much every team, the majority of them in the NFL coveted. Your brand new head coach. Your Playing with zero expectations this season. Why would you ever not start? Trevor Lawrence? Why would you put off Getting him comfortable and acclimated. To life as an NFL starter. There's no reason to go with anyone else. Unless and and here's the The glaring weakness from last night's game is the offensive line was patchwork and piecemeal. And to that end, we did talk to Jaguar's radio host, JP Shad Rick, who joined us following his postgame show on the Jaguars. Radio networks want to bring back a portion of that conversation. About Trevor Lawrence and about his development and where he is and whether or not this is an actual competition with Gardner, Minshew and CJ Beth third, But if you want to hear what he had to say about the offensive line The unspoken heroes on any football team. Well, if they do their jobs well, you'll need to check that out on our podcast after hours, Amy Lawrence dot com. In addition, we do not have any information yet about the serious about while about how serious the foot sprain is for Travis Ctn, the rookie running back out of Clemson. This is a guy who's supposed to be really important to what they want to do. And and they didn't want to run the ball. But Travis didn't last very long out there on the field. So we're waiting some word on Tuesday. They showed me great. Talent We were planning on to use them in any always look up there. He's limping off the field, so yeah, and then, uh, you know, he was out in open space, and you know it was in a great throw to him, but we're just I see what everyone else. He's a talented guy that we've got to get in space. So we'll await some word on the rookie running back. They do obviously have other options. James Robinson being one of those, but to lose him after what one snap one series, especially if it's something that could keep him out for a while. That's frustrating in a setback that they don't want to have All right, you'll hear what JP has to say about the quarterbacks and whether or not this is an actual competition in Jacksonville, she says with a snicker. Also, there is some Caray Z. Conspiracy theory that I've been alerted to in New England. Are you kidding me? It's Bill Belichick. He doesn't do conspiracies or tricks. But I will explain, And I knew it was going to happen. Producer J We now have another tweet about you. That starts with no offense. This one though. I feel like you can shoot down with one very steady arrow coming out of your your quiver. Your bow. This is going to be super. I'm gonna set you up. Put the ball on the tee. I'm changing sports. I was first with the archery and now I'm going With Tebow. I'm going to put the ball on a tee and you can just knock it out of the park. Right? So that's coming up next.

"Last games his pace he averaged six point. Four yards per carry by the way. I'm pays for two hundred five carries and only eight catches but nineteen touchdowns and that made him the number six running back per game in non pr but where did make dobbins and number eleven per game. So that the best case scenario nineteen touchdown pace and six point four yards per carry. He wasn't he was a number eleven per game. Pr suggest keep that in mind and that is basically where mark ingram finished npr. Two thousand nineteen. Now listen the. The third round is a horrible round. For running backs it just is the in half in the last four seasons twenty minutes historic twenty-three running backs in the last four years have been selected around three in half. Pr ten of them finished outside the top thirty only four of them finished in the top ten so four of twenty three so this is like and if you look at adp it's real. I think really interesting. Most of the high end wide receivers come off the board before swift and montgomery and dobbins So you're talking metcalf. Ridley waller jefferson. Aj brown kittle keenan allen and then swift montgomery dobbins and then maclaurin allen robinson should maclaurin and alan robinson. Be going ahead of these three running backs. Yes i've got maclaurin ahead of dobbins i've got robinson head of all three. Yeah i think. I have all both of ahead of dobbins for sure i think i probably have swift and montgomery ahead of them all right. Let's go to our next group and this is going to be late round three and into around for miles sanders chris. Carson josh jacobs miles gaskin. Mike davis and i think we should throw daryl henderson here as well so that will be six. Running backs boots can put anybody one here but this is this is where i think people start to draw that red line that we talked about where okay. I'm not going to feel good about these guys starting spot on my team all right. Well tippy fair. I mean. I guess if we're really going by adp it's i'm doing it wrong because sanders carson jacobs are thirty five thirty six and thirty seven. There's three or four turn. Miles gaskin is forty six. Mike davis is fifty third with kareem hunt. So i don't know what is in your mind the next year and by the way travis. Ctn's adp is really weird. He's not listed on espn. So is adp is dragged all the way down but he should probably be in this range too so i guess i should just ask you running backs to you. Look for in this range. Is we get to where the hell is. Chris carson areas. I said him. Sorry the name of this tier guy. Yeah of course okay. All right so yeah so. He's which running backs to you. Look for three fourths for your carson. Jacobson zander's it's It's carson because i don't think he has as much competition despite the fact that reshad penny got a little bit of good run before he Pulled up lame again And i don't know he might be back practice today. But i i saw he was out over the weekend and carson's been pretty unreal when you talk about how much everybody hates. Joe mixon chris. Carson's been joe mixon two rounds later for the last three years and maybe just a little bit more reliable. So i if i'm taking your running back in this range and i'm not often but it's carson's guy that i'm.

"Whatever these things would be, they would be tough to pull off. I mean, I agree. You had a team that was like an all time great team for the franchise. And Sanders is good like I They've done a great job at identifying the right receivers, I would say since Brandon Beane, you know all of them. Beasley gets open like he does. Brown was valuable digs as elite and Sanders is a good idea to so There are a lot of good receivers in the league, and I also think like if it were me, I might have gone wide receiver with my first round pick because you can't have an can't have too many. Um, but Almost nothing they were going to do this offseason to me would have seemed like No. Because Because they're coming from such a good place, right? That's that's what happy to ET en right. Like what? Receiver? You could replace Kolb easily with a faster player. But is that making you better like he is excellent at what he is asked to do. Right. So you know, maybe ideally, you'd have a guy who's you know faster than cold easily. But he was the best slot receiver in the league last year, Right, So his chemistry with Alan is undeniable. So like I don't want to take him off the field, and I'd say the same about most of their receiving corps. So that's where Travis Ctn like I can get a guy that can be used out of the backfield and in the slot. But he's also a running back and he's a home run hitter and that I thought there was an opening for on the bills and maybe met Brita. Even being signed proves that to some extent, But as far as the receiver goes, I don't know that I was drafting someone who was going to step in necessarily and and unseat any of the guys that played last year. Yep, I agree. I think it's a good 0.2 guys. That what you're you're talking about here, which is It's hard to get better when you're already really good, especially in a salary cap system. And, you know, I know everybody wants all pros at every position and too deep. It's just unrealistic. You can't do that. The bills have a really good roster. It's hard for them to really get a lot better. Um, you know you can make arguments here, there of what they may should have done or not, And John Brown is in that conversation. I do want to make the point if we're sticking at wide receiver that You know, obviously was calculated what they did with John Brown and then bringing in Emmanuel Sanders. And you think Why is that? I mean, they intentionally as you as you put a bulldog. It's not not even that they didn't add speed. They took away some speed. That was a calculation to me. It wasn't just about the salary cap number, but that had something to do with it. There's always ways to kind of do that thing. I do think that part of this was And you can go to the chief's game for this, too. If you watch back at the A F C championship game. I think they feel that their and we've talked about this that their receivers needed to be a little more physical, too. And if they can be a little more physical that would open up Maybe having the ability to get downfield a little bit more for these guys because I think what happened over the last couple of years. It started really in that Baltimore game a couple of years ago where they're DBS just came and they they made sure the bills had no breathing room. The bills, receivers and the Bills didn't have much of an answer for that. And I think maybe getting Gabriel Davis more on the field and seeing how physically can be and he's pretty fast by the way for his size. Getting a guy like that Emmanuel Sanders for John Brown does that that is the upgrade their which is He's more physical, and he can play a little bit more, You know, versatile around the offense in different spots, and maybe that just allows teams to say, Hey, hold on a second. We can't be physical with them at the line of scrimmage, and now you give them a little more room to operate. More with Sal..

Yes, adjusting BT I said When we're talking about this in the slack channel, who did I compare him to Sean Payton right. A matchup is he's searching for matchups. Right, John. He would do this with Jeremy Shockey. When Jeremy was, you know, one of those early I got a mismatch. Tight end. You're gonna how you cover him. Put a line back out there. CIA put the safety back there. You have no shot because he's so big. And so urban Meyer is searching for matchup advantages, and that's how great offensive minds are able to take advantage of a changing NFL because it is changing used to never see this.

"Put this kid split out. No. When they drafted him, That was obviously the intention that's right. And maybe they had their eyes on one of two other players of E T and was The board. Maybe they would have tried that with somebody else. Maybe I don't know that for sure. A couple things first off. I'm Travis et and I'm pumped because you're gonna make a lot more money. Catch the ball. Then you are running the ball guarantee. But in the NFL, no doubt about it. Number one number two my question. I would have probably this back to you. We have had You know, it's funny. It seems like a little thing. You know, it's not, but it's not the sexy conversation. But my partner and you were just being honest. Of course, some of the New York papers took it the wrong way. But when you said And you were not wrong when you said it. That's a quant. Barclay's not every down back because of his inability to pass, protect properly. And then of course, he got hurt. It was It was terrible timing, but you were absolutely right. If if Travis et ends, not spending enough time in the running back room. Is he learning how to properly pick up blitzes to protect this quarterback? Yeah, He's been pretty good at that, and it's really a want want to thing and at Penn State say Quan wasn't asked to do it a ton and in college is it's such a different proposition, then. You know these? These brutes at linebacker who are I don't know, screwed up in the head a little bit. Just wanna knock your block off and I'm only half joking, right? So it's a different exactly. It's a different proposition in the NFL than it is in college. Um I don't remember Travis Ctn being Liability in college, but also just like sake wanted us to us. To an extent. It's a good question. You asked me T because they scattered him a lot like they have free releases for him. So if you're gonna dog him Dog, the running back. You want the running back to stay in, They're gonna free release. And if you don't have someone pick him up, Guess who's getting the football? Travis? He did, And that's what's gonna happen. He's gonna go 60 yards because you're now you know, out, man, because you have everybody in man coverage behind that, and so It's a good question on what seat we'll only know we'll only be able to know when we see it right. Just like we knew when we saw it with sake, want a little bit, But I love this idea. For the Jacks. Will jaguars with Travis Ctn. The reason you know this makes sense, and you knew it was on his mind more so than just drafting travesty. Tien is that he even said this. Urban Meyer originally wanted to draft Darius Tony. Right from from Florida. But the Giants took him at 20. And we know this about Tony. He is a He is a kick returner. He is a wide receiver. He is. You can put him in the back field. You could do the Jets. Would you do everything with him? And so I think, Urban Meyer Had this in his mind. I'm going to take forever Lawrence number with the first pick. And then with our 2nd 1st round pick. I'm getting this multi purpose diverse playmaker. I want to Darius Tony member. He said this after the draft, he five C T and wasn't our first choice. Say that right? Anything. We wondered if he should actually say exactly. He said He was heartbroken, like like I'm heartbreaking because there is Tony. A lot of people thought he was gonna fall into the second round. Sir. Urban Meyer was like I'm gonna get him like he's my guy quietly. He's truly who I want. When he was gone. Travis Ctn became the the I don't know the bridesmaid, so to speak, but it's a hell of a bride's maid. Because Travis see Tien is very versatile, and I love the kid as you mentioned at the top of the segment. Listen, just ask Vince. I mean, some of those bridesmaids were pretty good. You know what I mean? They were pretty good. Um, you know, I love when somebody No matter what league or sport was talking about.

Travis Ctn drafted by the Jaguars in the first round, running back, obviously great running back somebody my partner's raved about from the moment I saw him place like, Yeah, that's I mean many things so smooth man. There's certain guys that you just look at your like, man. Is he even moving? You know, Alvin Camaro is the same way and I didn't know I haven't come here until we had Sean Payton. Remember, we had Sean Payton on before his rookie season. Is that from the tunnel when he called us from the tunnel? Maybe. Yes. It was a preseason preseason game. I get you guys seem come on Camaro, and we're like dude you talking about? I didn't know him, Tennessee. I mean, no name. And then look at him, and he's the same kind of runner. He's just smooth and comfortable and easy with his body doesn't take a lot of hits catches a ton of passes, which is the genesis of the story. Yes, it is, and the Jaguars need Infusion of everything on offense, 30th and points per game. They averaged less than 20 points. Now, a lot of that will be rectified with better quarterback play. But by extension, you wanna have the proper weaponry around young stud Trevor Laurence and Travis ET en while Red that is a running back, and that move was scrutinized Debate. Some people thought that was too high, apparently might be playing some wide out as the master chemist is already mixing and matching in the laboratory. Here's Urban Meyer on what he's trying to see what he's trying to accomplish with getting ET and some reps outside. He's the leading rusher in a C C history, so for him to run inside zone and power and zone right now, we thought, Let's just At the worst case scenario, you have a running back with skill set of a wide receiver. Best case scenario. You have Ah, hybrid player that can do both. And that's what we're hoping. Develop. Take two cute, or is this something that could really work? No, not at all. I'm trying to look real quick, because obviously you know my my NFL statistics as a runner over 10,000 yards as receiver over 5000 yards Which is it's being Marshall Faulk and, um and Methuselah. Marcus Allen are the only players in NFL history with 10,000 yards rushing and 5000 yards. Receiving s O. I mean, I came out of college and people looked at me as a Man. He's a good receiving running back. I had 22 receptions on average per year. So how did you get that reputation that have no because I caught 22 passes that so That's my point, Mel Kiper said he could catch well, not what I could, but I caught 22 passes. But think about that. That's not a lot is what I'm saying. But it is for college running backs and you got a lot of that's a lot of catching. It is so go look at any college running back. You look at You'll see like the numbers are. Yeah, OK, he had like 30 passes something like that. Travis is. Tien had 48 receptions last year, which was the most cities had on his four years. The year before that he had 37 receptions, six touchdowns out of those two years, eight in total over his four years. But he actually is a pass receiving running back. And so when you think about the advantage that that gives you when you think of the lady on bells of the world who caught 80 something passes one year, or Christian McCaffrey, who was the first one And I'm really long time since Marshall actually Since Marshall Faulk did it, I forget what year that was 2000 and two maybe to go for 1000 yards receiving and 1000 yards rushing. If you have a running back with that skill set, it gives you so many more options because you basically can be in a one back set or you could be in a five wide set. And I think that's what urban Meyer is looking for. He has a precedent with this beauty is we all remember From his days in Florida when he had Percy Harvin, who was one of the most dynamic two way player to two position players, not really two way that would that would imply offense and defense, but to position players really in the history of college football, Percy Harvin was and so when you but not in the NFL, which not the NFL it all not in the NFL and all the disappointment of the Yeah, But was it really his skill set or was? I don't know. Or was it the other? Maybe some off the field. It was definitely like to feel stuff. But Travis Ctn seems like a good Levelheaded kid on and so looking at this. I thought it was genius, and I first saw it. He's taken all of his reps of wide receiver. He knows how to be a running back right. He knows how to run between the tackles and know what power looks like and all those other things but Be a wide receiver that that that's a skill that he'll have to learn. And then, ultimately, if this works out drafting him in the first round as a hybrid is actually a genius move because he's more he's more valuable than just a running back who you could have gotten whatever in the second or third round and it's not like urban Meyer just said, Wow. You know, like as he sees them in shorts on the field, maybe I'm gonna mess around..

I'm not saying just because Mr Basically, I think he has a chance to really, really good. I just hope that he's not rushing to the field. As a means of two guys trying to save their jobs.

I feel like living with us for weeks. Was que separates you back to my original point. They're gonna try to get him out there sooner rather than later. What is not necessarily in the best interest of the order vision. Lot of people said that the Raiders as you alluded to it, Alex Leatherwood at number 17 where the big losers last night a confusing decision. Did you also think that confusing is the issue? That's wait. Oh, put it And on some level this feels like the Cleveland burial pick a few years ago, when Mike may have just got there's a GM and, of course, John Cruden coach because he felt over drafted and to this point clearly failed first round talent who was over drafted inside the top five. Alex Leatherwood. I had a day to grade on him, and I talked to folks around the league that agreed with that. But look, we say this all the time about quarterbacks. It only takes one teeth. They need help with the offensive line because much crazy things that Jon Gruden did. Over the course of the off season that said, they've literally could've picked anyone on defense and made that defense better. And here's how I come out of the first round. You look at the piggy say OK, this team better now than they were. Before Thursday and the Raiders or not, they they're not. They drafted Alex Lowe. What you could help. But there it's not a substantial upgrade, which is what you need in these first round picks. So puzzling is is where I would put this. Would say puzzling would describe both the Steelers and the Jaguars decisions to take running backs in the first round as well. Both nausea Harris and Travis Ctn might end up being very good backs. The Steelers had a lot of needs, especially the offensive line and the Jaguars. The worst team in football out of those two did either nausea or ET en makes sense in your mind. Yeah. So not the nausea, hair smooth by God, and they stay didn't signal but it had been pretty clear for a while that they were They like nausea, And that could be a possibility there. 24. There were some conversation Maybe the Jets had they been in 18 would have thought about that as well. Your idea that the opposite line is terrible. They need help with cornerbacks in helping edge rusher s O. They had playing these quarterback. We just talked about what if Mack Jones was there? I think that I think about that. But We're not your hair is drawing comparisons lovey, Um Belle and the Louisville. We always met these ConStor draft time. But if it's anything close to that, that will help and you can come back and a two and a three and you can find offensive line help, But you're not gonna find it, Not you, Harris. And that's probably thinking there. Jack Wars moves a little more. That concerning, But look, this is Urban Meyer's first year, you know, they kind of picks. You have to use every single one wisely after, By the way, having a ton of free agency kind of money created. See that you didn't go out there and crush it on. This team has to win, and I feel like six or seven wins is doable. Next year if you hit on everything, and and and by the way in the 17 game season, and then after that, you gotta start going to playoffs. So try. You know, we got trade Trevor Laurence done and done, But I think 18 feels like he was over, attracted by a seven or eight picks when they would've been back on the clock. And again operative lines, even tow line safety cornerback those their own just well, linebacker. So I thought slightly ever drafted love the player. Just question the pick. Would you think about the Panthers going with JC Horn? There was a lot of thought that they should go offensive line as well. Help out. Sam Donaldson help out Christian McCaffrey. Instead, they went with horn your thoughts on that decision. Yeah, No, I love love just you horn. In fact, I had him as the first defensive player of the board. And you know it happened right around the time that passes through town without the board the other corner back, which we thought was gonna happen with the team nearby, but the pandas don't have any depth. None at cornerback. So that made some sense. Um, and it feels sometimes attack now, so that's good for seeing dollar pick up a script year option. But you're right. Sam Donald came from an organization where he spent much of his time running for his life. So you have to sort that out in Carolina, which I think is a better situation for for Donald. But it's not substantially better, And that means Surround him with players that can protect him on offense. That would imagine we'll see that happened soon, starting in a few hours starting tonight. Which player are you most excited about optimistic about going into tonight? Oh, so tonight. So what's gonna happen tonight? So let's see what my list here mixed up missing one. So bookie bashing his head. Russia's I liked a lot of the weak force, and I mentioned the name and in terms of a new office. Chiron tell Maura could do only 57. But he's going to 14 9 at his pro day. 40 minutes Political and it was absolutely electric when he was on the field..

"Ahead of Pittsburgh as well, trying to get in position to get each TN that they think he's the best back and they wanted a pair him up, Obviously, with jocks, Alan and create that back built, gentlemen. You had my curiosity. Now you have my attention. No w gr sports radio 5 50. It's got a craving for steaks up. All right, we're gonna get Derek Alco here in just a moment. Thanks for hanging out with us. All of a sudden, I just I'm smelling a steak and she sub in my nose right now. I don't know why, but I just Uh, right. 803 old 5 50 to join us. We'll start with travesty Chance so that Woz. Let's see. Let's see. It would have been done months and talking about Travis Ctn, Clemson play by play, Man, Marcel Louise Jack recovered. Luisa Excuse me, covers the bills for ESPN dot com, is down with Bulldog last week and then the podcast comment. From Todd McShay about Travis. He tended the bills. That's where we'll start. Eric Delko is from Optimum Scouting is joining us on the Western Hotline. Eric, It's Howard and Jeremy. Good morning, Sir. How are you today? I'm doing great. Are you guys doing this draft week? I'm ready for Thursday. Man. Thursday at around 11. 30 PM I'm ready. Okay, so it's gonna be. It's gonna be interesting, too, because I think you mentioned the bills in particular the running back market's going to really have to figure out this first round this year. You guys were gonna go. It's gonna be a lot of turmoil for the bills on Thursday night. Okay, so let's start there and and maybe they are. Who knows if that's true or not that they're trying trying to trade up, But let's start with Travis Et en and get your thoughts on him first and foremost. Yeah, He's the most explosive running back. I think in this draft class and really the only running back in this class that has both really impressive why ranging downfield speed and can be a three down, running back, and that's really important. Why I think teams value him so highly You can get speed back and a third down back like Michael Carter from North Carolina in round, maybe as early as two but likely round three and four. There's a couple those guys in this draft, but there's not many guys work. Explosives are outstanding Pass catchers Travis CPN Probably about the cup was past catcher in the 2020 F L draft class and he could be a three down, running back and I think that's how tells that he is. I would not be surprised at all if he is The fifth off a playmaking offensive weapon taken off the board after Kyle pits to mark Chase Jim and waddling Devante Smith, and that's how you gotta think of travesty together that he's going to be the fifth Explosive player out the board and his feeling ranges from maybe it ties the 16th overall pick and I don't think it gets out of the first round, for sure. Okay, So the difference is I was going to ask, I guess Harris and maybe Joe Vontae Williams. I know you mentioned the other kid it in and North Carolina. What? One of the main differences. Then let's say between Harrison et en specifically Harris. Do you not see the same receiving ability there that you might see from ET en Certainly not the same nausea. Harris could do it. He's shown it in limited and we've seen Ah lot of the album of running backs last decade thinking, Hey, they can't do on third down and they figured out the NFL are able to do it. D J L That's not a good job. On that rolls well draw his NFL career, but the difference is the Tien Is NFL ready and really impressive as a route runner. Clinton was moving him in motion moving him in the slot. He can run around in that area. I think he's the only running back. In this draft class with over 100 targets Minutes college career, which is really, really impressive, so they're not the same. And that says I think GM as a pass catcher and really out in the perimeter is just more explosive than technology. Harris. No, not be. Harris is for more traditional. He can work between the tackles and a really high level. I think you'd better inside don't run of Nietzschean, so there are differences. I mean nausea. Harris is more Better player on 1st and 2nd down, But as we've seen in the NFL now, including the Bills offense It's not as much of the first most only a first down, running back because really on second now you're thinking about passing as well and that's why you get so valuable. So all right, Let's say let's say the bills. Do you want to add our running back? You know, the GM talked about Brandon being had mentioned last week. You know, he likes the guys. They have You like Singletary likes Moss. But they don't have quote a home run hitter. So is eating and the only guy who fits that description. If not, what about Harris or Williams? And I mean, he turns off the board now, Eric, What about the other two guys? Whether a 30 or Trade back trade up a few slots could either one of them fit that home run hitter and would either guys still be a good pickup for the bills? I think yes, I think it depends on how much they want to feel that meat because based off what I believe I think oflove on office has kind of said that publicly that et and really fits that mold as that big play running back, and I think he's going to add a lot as a third down guy the way he's acting Austin about Devon Singletary can't do so. I think overall running back is indeed we want someone to be a bell cow and the exact Boston tomb or both. Red Zone in short yardage guy in 17. Terror is a change of pace that I think Magic Harris or around to running back legs about Ted Williams and pray, serve and by the way, Trey sermon is on the same level of Devante Williams for a lot of teams. I talked to their kind of three and four bunched together, but I think if they want to feel the need One of those three guys work to the 1st and 2nd down workhorse, and they've got to figure out the rest later. But if you want to dynamic offense of weapons add one more piece of its bills often each year. That guy that they want him almost for sure they're gonna happen. Move up, maybe a tie as the top 2023 picks together. So where do you think he could go? Then? Because again in this discussion of The speculation about the bills moving up. It was well there. If they did move up, they'd want to get ahead of 23 24. 25. Jets Pittsburgh Jaguars Where if he's gone before, then where does he tea and go? Yeah, he very well could. I think I think kind of the 25 area Much of the Jaguars. That's where they want him. But I think by the early twenties, it's going to be a jets like team that taken for knee or someone moves up to get and I don't like to get out of the top 2023 picks again. The feeling I believe is the Arizona Cardinals. They want to add one more offensive weapon. They don't you, James Counter or Chase Edmunds as the guy next year, so if they don't get a top receiver like maybe devices, Smith falls to them. I think they're his feeling ET and the Dolphins that 18 need a running back. They like beauty and a lot. The Washington football team. They like Antonio Gibson, but they're not a post, adding one more offensive playmaker and again I stress each yen is the fifth best offensive playmaker in this draft, so if you don't get Hit with the top three receivers, and you want to add a dynamic weapons, your offense, each against that next guy, And that's why when it's Arizona, Miami, Washington and then no proven the Jets. The Jaguars et m gonna go someplace pretty early. And this is also it seems like just the hype..

Sometimes, they say, I need a pet calendar from the Humane Society. Absolutely. And I'm like that, like I have my phone calendar.

Invert trees are both here, fellows. We're gonna get the Heisman talk in a moment or two. But Jodi gonna update us on you about women basketball. You had a Nevins is one point away from her career high. Terri. She missed the shot and he took her out. I think because you took her out. She's nine of 10 from the field, six of six from three point range. She has forces three steals, three rebounds. 27 points, Louisville as a team 10 of 18 from three point range. And they lead U T. Martin 70 to 38 late in the third quarter, so she still got a whole other quarter. She should get that career. Our crew. I was 28 in a game last year against Oklahoma State. Terry also men's basketball to note tonight. U K does play against Vanderbilt this evening. The Wildcats are now in 11.5 Point favorite. Cleveland Browns head coach Steff Kevin's defense key additional two members of the coaching staff positive for covert 19. They will not be available for the The wild card game against Pittsburgh on Sunday. They've actually shut down their facility for a day there. And how about this news in college? Football? Alabama coach Nick Save in Told ESPN today that junior receiver Jalen Waddle has been cleared to practice and there's a chance he could play Monday night against Ohio State in the national championship game. And that takes us to our next talk because before Jalen Waddle got injured, Terry I thought he was a guy that could have had it answers, as did many to win the Heisman Trophy as a non quarterback, non running back kind of God. Now it's his teammates of business. Okay, let's let's let's keep an eye on Trevor Laurence to start this conversation. Is there multiple Alabama guys on the first time? We're all we're all in agreement. Kyle Trask has zero chance of winning the Heisman. So tonight, the Florida quarterback, probably less than that, Yeah. I would say yes. Right at zero. Maybe just a tick below zero. Yes. So Trevor Laurence is this guy that's mesmerize college football for a couple of seasons. And then you know all everybody was like it's his to lose the Heisman Trophy thing tonight. So my question to both of you guys is what happened to Trevor Laurence just because he missed a couple of games. He's still been pretty brilliant. I think he's been pretty brilliant. But I quite honestly have always thought that because Travis Et en was so good that he took a little bit away from Trevor Laurence. That was That's been my opinion for two years because I know in having the vote, so I have to vote for the A. C. C. Terry. And when I vote for the A C C and I go for a cc player of the year I go. Oh, which one of these guys are not gonna vote for? And I ended up Bob. Obviously, I've ended up voting for Trevor Laurence. Uh, this this year, But Travis Ctn had a great career and is one of the best players in college football. It takes away from him. Now I know what you're gonna say. There's two Alabama guys. Why didn't do for them? I just think Et en, uh is is really, really good. And I think Trevor Laurence put up the numbers, but but I would have a hard time voting for him, Miss Iseman. What do you say? Agree with Jodi. I think ET and took away from Lawrence. But I would say Travis Ctn probably had his worst college year this season. Especially running the ball. He did a lot catching passes from Trevor Laurence, but people stack the box they made Trevor do his thing. But Trevor doesn't have the.

"It forward and splits the defenders into the end zone. Touchdown plants it Travis Ctn on a three yard touchdown. Rush makes it 13 to 7 such a hard play to stop exactly the same place they scored on the first time. The only difference is that time instead of Trevor Laurence keeping it he handed it off TTN and he rode that hand off. Probably a full second All eyes were on Trevor Laurence. Everyone the building thought he was keeping it again. The last second, let a TN habit who walked into the end zone almost touch. That's such great disappointment takes hours and hundreds of times of practicing that, to get that mess point. Correct that leads to not fumbling the football and exchanging it correctly. Peachy. Potter's desperate point is good. It's brought to you by Allstate. You better protected with Allstate. You've never been In better hands. So now for Travis Eat again, It is 468 career points. He's now first all time and a cc history, passing Dustin Hopkins, the former field goal kicker for Florida State.

He was able to get 20 tickets into his hands for family and friends who have made the trip down from Jennings. 14 to 7, now. Clemson on top of five minutes and one second remaining seven plays 75 yards, two minutes and 58 seconds. Time of possession on the drive, and Lawrence was four for four through the air.

The Lead
How "Lil' Ol' Clemson" Overcame the Odds
"Here today to talk about Little Clemson. First of all where where did that name come from. Davos swinney has been using it basically since he took over as the head coach back in two thousand eight and I know we're not supposed to be here. We're does willow beer but we about the Tigers man. I'm so proud and just quickly remind us. How much has little clemson accomplished in the last five years? And how do those accomplishments stack up against some of the all-time great teams. This will be their fourth national championship game in the past five years and obviously they have won. Two of the past three national championships backpedaling Lawrence flips absorb open wide open just native. Where's the pen strengthens? Its the championship game really witnessing one of the all-time great runs right. After or maybe you know in conjunction with the dynasty that Alabama has had attack territory with very likely a victory formation and a fifty fifth win but this clemson senior class. The Tigers Tigers reclaimed their crowd by four Alabama. We are really truly talking about one of the great runs. We've seen in this sport and yet they seemingly get no respect at least if you listen into what Dabo Sweeney has to say we win to the team that beat South Carolina. And it's we we get clemson out. It's the dad gummed state so it's big because you know they can't vote us out. I mean we gotta we gotTA WE GOTTA go thirty. You know I mean we got no choice forced but Stewart I wanted to talk to you about some of the things Clemson has had to overcome to get where they are today because in some ways it makes her accomplishments even more remarkable. So let's start with the schools location. This is a school that is in the tiniest towns announced in college football. The main drag is a half mile if that they have one of everything and only one of everything one starbucks Fox Walmart. You've got this eighty thousand seat stadium hundred fifty thousand people rolling into the town on the weekends. it's incredible bull and but then they all leave. You know Monday through Friday. We kind of have our own world and it's named Clemson. It's not named university. University of their state and Frankly University of South Carolina has a much bigger fan base in that state. CLEMSON's not even the biggest Followed team in their own state. And I imagine it's harder to build that fan support when you don't have the state name in your school's name 'cause fans can identify so strongly with the state there from. Yeah I mean obviously the one big exception in College Football History Notre Dame that has a true national following but that goes all the way back to the nineteen twenties and and new rockne is taking them on the train and playing games all around the country. It's truly unique when you think about the kinds of programs that we're used to seeing at the top of the polls the Alabama is the Ohio states. It's the US's these are schools with big huge national fan. Bases Clemson truly is still even with all the success mostly a regional school well and a lot of people might not realize this but clemson has had to recruit locally for the most part I mean. It's remarkable if you look at their roster. How many of the guys as our from North and South Carolina Georgia in Tennessee every program? You know the the core of their recruiting class is going to be in their backyard. But clemson's up until recently. He was almost entirely from their backyard. And really that mirrors Funston as a school their alumni base something like seventy percent of the alums live in three states South Carolina North Carolina and Georgia. This is not the kind of place where anywhere in the country you go. You're going to find clumps in Bar And one other big thing. That's working against Clemson. Is They play in the ACC weaker conference where where they don't really have a rival and it's almost like people forget about clemson during the regular season because you know they don't have very many marquee games. Yeah everybody watched. Trevor Lawrence and Travis E. T. N. and and T- Higgins in last year's national championship game and saw how great they they were and then the season starts in people. Stop watching the game. They played against Texas. Ain't ammon week to was the most watched game they played this season A little over six million viewers. That was not even one of the top twenty most watch games in college football this season. And if you look at that list of the top Twenty Games Ohio Hi oh state was in five of them. LSU was in four of them Michigan. who wasn't even all that good was in three of them? When talks about lack of respect the thing that bothered him most is this year? was that none of those star players Trevor Lawrence WHO everybody assumes will be the number one pick when he's coming off his junior season travis? CTN has been one of the best running backs in the country the last three years. None of those guys made the heisman ceremony. And none of those guys were even finalists for the award for the best is player at their position in. That's not because they're not great players. It's because nobody watched them this season. How has clemson been able to overcome some of these kind of systemic? Systemic challenges. The fact that they aren't this historical powerhouse. The fact that they're in this tiny town in the middle of nowhere South Carolina would have been the keys to to them building this program into what it's become. Yeah well it really all starts Dabo swinney. He is a extremely unique personality in college. Football one moment along the way that I think have stuck with everybody was Dave beat Notre Dame in practically a monsoon in twenty fifteen regular season and they interview him after the game on. ABC what nine listen. We're giving scholarships give you stipends in tails in a place to live. We're giving nice uniforms. I give you good service tonight. It was big. Well Gee Bring Your own God put some dads and to me that personifies daboh like. That's not something. Most coaches coaches would say in a post game interview and kind of set the tone I think from their Dabo. Swinney is the fun coach. He's the coach who when they built their new football facility. They put in a PUTT. PUTT course welcome to the outdoor pavilion miniature. Golf Renfro just happened to catch the game winner in the National Championship Against Alabama. We'll see what he's got here. Your place on Punsalan rest for the weary. We'll at hunter and so that became their brand there. The Fun School there the place you want to go if you WANNA play college. Football get an education education and have a lot of fun doing it and to amplify that message. Clemson was really ahead of the curve. I think With how they used social media to appeal to recruits they are constantly putting out videos And other images that show exactly that that show that take you inside side. The Locker Room and inside the facility in show you how much fun they're having Show you Dabo swinney dancing in the locker room after a win Stewart. How would you describe Devil's dance? Moves dance moves are about a clunky and awkward as you'd expect from a middle aged dude but but certainly in keeping with his his personality. There's also a video that they posted of Disney filming a football ball movie at Clemson last night. Any five thousand people here. We have to shoot three plays and the entrance from valley in a half of a half time. Half time the real players went off the field and a whole bunch of actors and Clemson. Uniforms came running onto the field and the and the the crowd cheered them on. And and you know made it seem like a real football game and the footage is going to be spectacular. It's one of the three loudest crowds in Clemson visit history. And what role has the rest of the Clinton coaching staff played in the rise of the Tigers when Dab oh I started getting a going at Clemson they weren't a national powerhouse yet. They were starting to get better. He did something that was a little unusual at the time and basically took a lower salary for himself in order for them to spend more on. assistant coaches. Because at that time. They weren't necessarily rolling in money like some of the programs that they were trying to compete against. They they were paying their coordinators top dollar money and those coordinators played a huge role. I mean they were the ones that certainly Chad. Morris was the one that recruited and coach Sammy Watkins Skins and certainly does Shawn Watson. The guys that got this run started now. They are rolling in money. An data was making nine million dollars a year. And that's you know that there's no longer a disadvantage for Clemson. But they were very smart about how they went about managing that in the early years of this run.
