Dru McAnellySincerely made my day.
Stoy HallThere you go. Good. Good. Why don't you tell us about yourself?
Dru McAnellyDrew McInally the life and times grew up in Indian, Iowa. Both my parents were teachers and dad was a coach. So I've grown up around sports my whole life. Football practice when I was two years old, they ran in reverse and I got ran over. So it's been, it explains a lot. A knockdown, drag out fight with me and the love of sports and the passion I have for it for since age two. Graduated from Indianola High School, played three years of college basketball, one year of college football, and been teaching and coaching now for 20 years. Married to my beautiful wife, Meredith and my two amazing children. Zane and Zoe's age 13, Zoe's 11, and been in the Ankeny school district now for 11 years and was a head girls basketball coach for seven. And I just resigned from that and. Mr. Engle over there was fortunate enough to be my assistant. Multiple times. Yeah, multiple times. And we have some stories behind that, that some of you might get a kick out of. But for three years there at Ankeny and so yeah, I just resigned getting out to enjoy watching my children play. You only get that small window of life once and it's gonna be gone before we know it. And I can always get back in. But yeah, that's a little bit about me and just really happy to be here tonight with these two amazing gentlemen. So let's rock and
Cole Ingleroll. Did you did you play college sports?
Dru McAnellyYeah, I played three years of basketball in one year of football. What positions? Quarterback and point guard. Yeah.
Stoy HallTwo quarterbacks. Yeah. Two, two Iowa boys.
Cole IngleThis is just I won't give any ground on the quarterbacking position but I will give props to Drew's basketball abilities. All right. Fair. Even at his old age. Fair. Yeah. What about his, fill it up a little bit.
Stoy HallWhat about his golfing abilities?
Cole IngleSolid. Okay. Consistent. Okay. Boring.
Stoy HallIt's an old man. Exactly. Old man,
Cole Inglebald guy. The opposite of his personality. Yeah. Yeah. Surprisingly. Which is why I'm hoping he's a yes on the golf trip, because people I think will be I've golfed with him just enough to be pleasantly surprised. Hey, he, hey. He's just steady Eddie man. Yeah, just get it out there.
Stoy HallGolf trip. Hearing some of what happened last year, we will be bringing camera though. For the pod. We have to, yeah. I mean we just have to for the brand. Not to mention we have three extra cameras, so we If they breaks, it's fine. Yeah. Whoops. But we're bringing that sports teams, you gotta let everyone know.
Dru McAnellyOh gosh. Ah. Growing up in Iowa
Cole Inglecause it's gonna make me physically ill.
Dru McAnellyI I bleed black and gold. I'm a diehard Hawkeye fan. And then nba, I grew up a a Michael Guy, so bulls and I'm for a basketball guy. I'm not the hugest of N B A fans, but I'm a Bulls fan still. And N F L New England Patriots I would say I'm a very mild baseball guy. But I do root for the St. Louis Cardinals, so I'm all over the place a little bit there. But I am a, I, outside of golf and my family and sports, my true hobby and passion in life are my Iowa haw guys, and Cole can probably
Cole Inglecan. Unfortunate, and you've already done better in this episode than we have in the last year on hitting these right on cue. Yeah. It's like our production skills got better after got better. Break. Just a little break. Either that or Drew just brings the best out in our, I think. I think it's
Stoy Hallmore yeah, I feel like we just have been in it against each other so long that someone else we can just attack. I love. That's great man. I am so happy to have another Hawkeye on the show. That's just makes my day. Especially when perspective it is, and every time that the Huskers end up beating them at the end of the season, doesn't matter what sport it makes it fun to talk about. And I'm not even a huge hustlers fan. It's just very easy to talk about.
Dru McAnellyYou don't mean I don't have a lot to talk about. Cause
Stoy Hallit doesn't happen. I, it just happened last season. Football and basketball. Yeah. Okay. All I'm just saying,
Cole IngleRecency biased, but he's not wrong. No, absolutely. Unfortunately, it's two games The Hawks had no business losing.
Stoy HallAnd
Dru McAnellyI will attest to that. Yeah. But
Stoy Hallyeah, so we'll get, we'll dive into that. We'll,
Cole IngleDon't let him fool you into thinking that he's a Huskers man. That's the first time he's ever said anything positive about the Huskers. And it's not, it's
Stoy Hallnot there. It's just not all the time I've known him. It's not there. All right. Let's get into the little nba, Jesus, nba. We can get, I've never said NBA on the show, and now you say it. And that's all I can freaking say. We're gonna start in, we're not starting with the no, we're gonna start with NFL draft. You going straight in the draft? Yeah. Might as well. Might as well finish with golf. We don't have any golf recap.
Cole IngleTony Fi
Stoy Hallnow won. Yeah, but we didn't have any beds. No, I, oh, shut him out then. Shut him out. Go ahead. I,
Cole IngleI'm gonna shout him out real quick, obviously, because he's our guy, right? He's my guy's. Absolutely. And in golf pool. I chose him as the outright winner this week. Oh, you did? So I, that was my first outright winner in two years. And I hit him, he plays great outside of the United States, so as soon as I saw, like he's been playing well, we've got Mexico tournament, little less field. Ran the table outright. Winner boom. Unfortunately, like nine other guys picked him as well. But hey, you still won. Gotta start somewhere. So I gotta start climbing. Back up the leaderboard a little bit on that. So great win for him. The whole family was there. Awesome to see. So I got the picture with him. Wife, five kids.
Stoy HallBest part was afterwards.
Cole IngleSo every day after he played, he went and played the par three course with his oldest son Trace, who's on the junior pga. But then the last day after winning, so after four days of playing and then playing the part three and then winning, he went out with all five kids and his wife, and they played another round on the part three. Pretty cool. The dude is just, he's a machine when it comes to, golf, but then just flips it immediately to, to the family time. But five
Stoy Hallkit. Yeah. 5,
Cole Ingle5, 5. And the oldest one I think is 12, maybe 13. I got two'em. Good. It's gotta be between two and 13 right now. He's got five. Between
Dru McAnellythe three of us, we have six, correct? Yeah.
Stoy HallYeah. Yep. That's enough. Yeah, that's, if
Cole Inglewe, if we need as much money as him though, it'd be a lot. We could hire out some. Yeah, you're We, but still, if it would be nice if we could. Afford and enjoy traveling with five children. Yes. Yeah. I heard on the broadcast that when they traveled to Mexico, it was 22 pieces of luggage. And my guess is that was on a private jet or maybe the luggage had a jet and then he had a jet would be like,
Stoy Hallhe had his bag in his clubs like that was it. Oh.
Cole IngleBut yeah, that's good outta you, Tony. Something that they've started to do more is travel as a whole family. The documentary Full Swing highlighted that. Yeah. For anyone that saw that on Netflix, he talked about that being an important thing. Once his wife's dad passed away they started doing that more. Usually when he wins he's got the family there, so that's always a cool experience. And obviously he's just known as one of the great guys on tour. So just continues to show that. Yeah. But yeah, NFL draft. Do you wanna start with an overall, feel sy synopsis or do you want to dive right into what the hell the Falcons were doing at eight? Let's,
Stoy Hallno, we don't need to dive. That's what we will have time to talk about that. Could we,
Cole IngleI don't know if Drew knew you were a Falcons fan or not, but I just wanted him to be aware so he could prepare some material to spat back at you.
Dru McAnellyThe bitterness in his voice between Falcons and Huskers, I can understand where. He's feeling makes sense, right? Feeling. Yeah.
Cole IngleAnd I mean it's it's like it was 28 to three all over again. Yeah.
Dru McAnellySo I'm sure Doy just about threw up in his mouth when he heard me say New England just brought back, actually he haunted, did haunted and dreaded replay it cuz I did dreaded memories.
Cole IngleHey, do you not know the security gun?
Stoy HallI don't usually just pops up and lets me push a button. So overall feeling
Cole Ingleon the draft I thought it was a fun draft. I thought there were a couple of surprises, a couple good surprises, couple of head shakers. Definitely some really good talent that dropped into the second round. And some teams just with some head scratching decisions from a personnel standpoint. Whether it be first and second or throughout the draft and a couple of teams that I think just absolutely. Killed it in the draft and weren't necessarily in position to do so and just made the right decisions when players dropped to'em. I guess I'll start. I think that the Eagles, ooh, are the best team in the nfc. Probably had a top three draft. They had. Two guys dropped to them. I believe they were both, were they both Georgia? Yep. Guys. And the draft picks that they had received from, who did they have draft picks from? Was it from the Rams?
Dru McAnellyIs that right? I think you're
Cole Inglecorrect in that trade. Yeah. The, but they took full advantage. A couple of guys just dropped and they solidified their D-line. They didn't have a lot of holes to fill anyway. And at the time that they drafted, they absolutely, in my opinion, stole guys off the board that are, were both potential top 10 picks. And they ended up with two of'em in one round being the team that was the second best team in the nfl. Yeah. So that was crazy to me. I. I don't think that there was necessarily a ton of flash in a lot, but the Texans did flash at the beginning of the draft trading up to get the third pick after taking CJ Stroud's second, which I've got my own feelings on Stroud, but I think they got their guy and then they went and got the next best player in the draft as well. So I was really impressed with how aggressive they were and thought they got some really good value early. And then also just had a solid draft overall. So those were the kind of the top two that popped for me. There were some other really solid drafts in there. The two worst for me, I thought the Packers had a questionable draft. I don't know. I'm interested to hear how you felt about the Patriots draft. Belichick's always a head scratcher to me. When it comes to the draft. It's hard to question them. I just thought they needed some more offensive help and didn't go after it. Packers did the same thing. So that's
Stoy Hallkind of where do the Packers ever really. I was at overall on that draft.
Cole IngleThough, but I didn't love what the Falcons did either. I didn't think that you got help early. Yeah. What was interesting with quarterback,
Dru McAnellywhat I found interesting with the Patriots draft is we know that Bill can take any defensive guy. Free agent, undrafted, whatever it may be. And he's gonna mold that guy into a really good player within the system. But with the coaching changes they've had, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Hell they tried to have a defensive coordinator call in plays. Yeah. And we saw, that worked. And exactly how well you'd expect it to. Exactly. And sometimes I, and I love the guy to death, but sometimes his stubborn, arrogant, arrogance can maybe get in the way, especially on the offensive side of the ball. So what was interesting to me within the draft was he can develop talent, obviously on the defensive side. So let's go attack. The offense side of the ball and they just seemed to, to not go that route. And that's where we really struggled because last year we had a defense that could have made a two or three game run within the playoffs. Not good enough to get the Super Bowl or win it by any stretch, but the defense was very good. Maybe not true blue old school patriots, but good. But the offense just struggled. Yeah. Just mightily struggled for, from all aspects. And that was what was really surprising to me with the Patriots draft.
Cole IngleYeah, they just, I don't know. I just didn't feel like they addressed helping out. Yeah. Mack Jones. Yeah. Or Bailey Zap, Zappy, whoever, whichever one they decide to go with. I think Mack Jones is the guy there, but I just don't they didn't give him any protection and they didn't give him any weapons. Nope. So that, that was disappointing. To me, if you're a Patriots fan, and then I just felt the same way with the Packers. Everybody thought that they were gonna spit in Aaron Rodgers face and actually draft a skill guy. And then they come out and draft two defensive guys right away. I think they drafted two tight ends and I don't know, I just don't
Stoy Hallunderstand. They just baffled the right thing. Yeah. Yeah. They always seem to do the ass backwards thing, like it doesn't make any sense to me. But then they're never
Cole Ingleterrible, which is also surprising. But I'm interested to see. They did sign in Jordan Love to a one year extension worth 13 million, which good on him. That's not terrible money for our green beta spend. And I also think Jordan Love needed to get a little bit of something. So we'll see how that experiment works out.
Stoy HallIt'll be an interesting one. That division is gonna be I've got the lines early. Ooh, early in, early where we're at. I like the lines second. I second
Dru McAnellythat notion. Because if you look at Minnesota last year, A fabulous year and typical in Minnesota fashion, they choke in the playoffs. But if you go back and look, it's like cowboys. Yeah. If you go back and look at their games, they could have for four or five, six of those close wins, they could have easily lost. Yeah. So their record was a little skewed. Yep. Vastly skewed. That can quickly flip in a matter of a season. Absolutely. Yeah.
Cole IngleYour thoughts on
Stoy Hallthe draft? I thought it was a fun start to the draft overall. There really, there were some splashes early on, but I thought most teams, again, except for the teams that I'm harping on didn't really make the picks. I thought they would or should actually, no, in my opinion, but also I'm not a huge draft guy. When it. When it comes to it, because one, we've had good players and then we don't utilize'em. So there's one but two, you don't know what you don't know until they get on the field, right? Yeah. So let's caveat that. But that being said, I thought it was overall just a, it was like a meth draft, and specifically for my falcons
Cole Ingleyou took a running back number eight. Let's just jump into
Stoy Hallthat. Oh, first of all, we're not talking about him as an athlete. Okay. No. The best running back, coming out of comp. Absolutely. No. Nobody but
Cole Ingledisagrees that Bajan Eaton
Stoy Hallwasn't the best. I don't understand eight for this. For multitude of reasons, one, running back's at high don't make any sense. Now we are a running team. However, we had a rookie go for over a thousand. We have Cordell Patterson, which again, yeah. I like, so to have those two, then you throw him in. What are we doing where we could have spent that somewhere else? Yeah. In my opinion o line is a big deal. We have tight, we obviously have tight ends. We don't, our receivers are, we have one I just felt like we should have put more into that core. Now, am I upset that we got a potential back that. Can be here and be here for the next six, eight years and is our dude. No, but you don't put an eight on a line on back. You just don't. Now did you
Dru McAnellymention O line? Yeah. Okay, so let's connect Patriots and Falcons and not to bring back horrible memories for you story, but, or delicious memories.
Stoy HallThat's fine.
Dru McAnellyTalk to Tommy. Didn't have tons of weapons around him at times either. People forget how unbelievably good the Patriot's offensive line was during that run. And that gets so overshadowed in so many organizations. And so you take a look at the Falcons at eight and you go with what I call a dime a dozen position in the nfl, and you aren't gonna go address offensive line needs. When you look at teams that have won the Super Bowl the last five to seven years, how good their offensive lines have been and how many draft picks they've taken in the first round with offensive line play. Are, where's your research
Cole Ingleat right there? You look why the Chiefs lost a Super Bowl. And why they won, why the Eagles were able to get to a Super Bowl. Yeah. And then why the chiefs won the Super Bowl. Yep. It's all, you obviously you have to have other pieces, but the chiefs lost because Tampa Bay just was living in the backfield. The year before they addressed. What buddy?
Stoy HallCan you get'em out? Yeah. Okay. All right.
Cole IngleThey they addressed the issue. Yep. And therefore, it's just sometimes I think everything I like, there's too many guys in the room. Oh. We see it on draft night, draft room and there's 24 dudes in there. And it's at the end of the day, one, those not everyone's agreeing. And that's not a bad thing, but if you. Why not four guys? Yeah. Why not six? Yeah. There's just I think at some point where you just lose a voice of, Hey, what the hell do we need? Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, let's go fix that.
Stoy HallI also don't understand, like you, they've game planed this whole thing out. They've had to have right. Every almost live scenario. It's their lively, they've been through this. There, there should be no surpri, there's rare that a trade surprises everybody that all of a sudden the whole draft is. Oh, Lord, what do we do? That is not, that doesn't happen and it didn't happen. Let's go around. So either they couldn't trade back Yeah. At all. No one wanted to, which I was hoping someone would. Maybe that didn't occur. And you go best player available. Okay. That would be my only thought process there. But we did go tackle from Syracuse in the second round Bergeron, which I actually really do that pick. Yeah. I love our two through seven s like. From a value perspective. I love the shit out of it. It's just one I would've liked more
Cole Inglepicks. I think the same thing with Alliance. One's taking money and one's
Stoy Halltaking
Cole Inglebig money. Yeah. Yeah's, because Alliance did the same thing, maybe even to a worse level. They had the 12 pick and they took, in their opinion, it was the best line or the best running back. But in a lot of people's opinion, third or fourth best. Yeah. Correct. Running back at pick 12. 12. And then they also had, was it 18? Yeah. Jack Kimball and one, he went high, but at least he is a day one starter, right? And a 10 to 12 year Yeah. Just a dude and can change
Stoy Hallyour defense like that. Yeah.
Cole IngleThat's a leader, that's a day one starter. Like I can if that's your guy, that's your guy, that's fine. He's a Dan Campbell guy. Like I could imagine.
Dru McAnellyHe's a more, he's more than a linebacker, he is a organizational, foundational, blueprint.
Stoy HallWhere's a great number too. Yeah, fantastic number. Yeah.
Cole IngleIt's the best number in the game. It's the best number in the game. You think
Dru McAnellyyou'll, is that now? Did I hear speculation on the Drake campus? That's pending Maybe retirement. Yeah.
Stoy HallOkay. But don't tell nobody.
Dru McAnellyThat's what I heard. Tell nobody. Brian Harden. I'd heard that and it wasn't because
Stoy HallI stole all the jerseys. It was not Brian, I've
Dru McAnellyheard Brian Hart, jinx Jersey. Brian Harden is under negotiations with retiring number 30
Cole Ingleoneil. Little late,
Stoy Hallbut hey, yeah, we'll take it
Cole Inglelate than never. No, but
Stoy Hallyeah, that's, but you're right. Now that being said, the game is changing to running backs. We're running the ball more. Yeah. So are we see, are they early in this new wave? I just, we don't, we won't know that for a while,
Cole Inglebut I don't think it even matters if you're early in the new wave. Like you just can't reach for a running back, even if he's really good. Look, look at Saquon. Like how many games?
Dru McAnellyWhat's, how many games he missed? What is the percentage of his games played? Verse missed in the years. Look at
Cole IngleZeke now. Zeke hasn't, Zeke's not even on a team right now, right? Yeah. And he had his, yes, Pollard took over, but he had his best year last year. He's had in three
Dru McAnellyyears? Yeah. Why? Because he didn't have as many Carries. He's not as beat up. Correct.
Stoy HallWhich is why you don't need to, use an A and your running game.
Cole IngleNot the problem. The Falcon's running game was like the last thing that needed addressed. Yeah, exactly. Of everything we could have addressed. Six different things. Yep. And running the running back was not it. Like your running back was a thousand yard. You had a thousand yard rush. Yeah. Has
Stoy Halla rookie. Yeah. I'm
Dru McAnellynot saying this sarcastically cause I don't know, but when was your last winning season?
Stoy Hall27, 18. We went to the playoffs, launch to the Eagles. Okay.
Cole IngleYeah. Yeah.
Dru McAnellySo I'm gonna guess you have had offensive line issues.
Stoy HallIt's ever last year actually surprising actually. You've been bad on defense. It's been defense been atrocious. Shit on. But now we got Clays. Campbell Hall boys do. Dean Lion Lopez. Your defense was better last year though, and the defense was better last year. Yeah,
Cole Ingleno, defense was not the issue last year. No. We had a quarterback issue, but now
Stoy Hallyou got a running back. But hey, we have three round backs that
Cole Inglethree headed running back. You're this Patriots
Stoy Halllight. Yeah. We'll see. We'll see what happens. Oh, except the Patriots don't spend money on running.
Dru McAnellyThey don't spend money. No. General, but they get players.
Cole IngleDo we have the Twitter video of Deuce Vaughn getting drafted? If
Stoy Hallyou put it in our shitty chat.
Cole IngleI just didn't know if we had
Stoy Hallaccess. Oh, we have access.
Cole IngleI did. I might have put it in there twice actually. Even, oh. You gotta save the, all the alligator video. That's phenomenal. All right, so this is Hey, it's going good. This is Stoy alluded to this. Go ahead, talk to her. So this is Dee Vaughn's dad calling to tell his son that the Cowboys have drafted him and just the emotions surrounding it. Deuce Vaughn, which I love the pickup. That guy's just a workhorse at Kansas State. A scat back. Yeah. Type. Who'd you compare him to? Sprolls. Sprolls. Sprolls. Okay. Yeah, same. He's a little bit bigger, not quite as shifty. Shifty, yeah. But same type and just a grinder guy that's gonna make the squad gonna be either the number two or three. And the cowboys use running backs in different ways. So yeah, I just think a great pick, especially late in the draft. And dad's on staff. So you can see here.
Stoy HallLet's let first run for next minute and half. Hey buddy,
Cole Inglehow's it going? Hey, it's going good. This is Dad. My phone wasn't working. Look at here, man. You wanna come to work with me next week? I wouldn't mind that I got somebody wanna speak to you. I got somebody wanna speak to you. I don't know when I've been speaking for everybody that's really in the heart of the Dallas Cowboys is tan
Dru McAnellyhere. With a tear in our eye. We're so
Cole Inglehappy to have you on the Dallas Cowboys. I can't thank you enough. What I
Dru McAnellyreally want to say, you
Cole Ingleearned every ounce of me being able to make this call. I'm so excited. There's just something magical about this moment that may be bigger than we even realize
Dru McAnellyhere talking to you on the phone. You is
Cole Inglenow a Dallas cowboy. Your daddy just hand the card in right here. Yes sir. It's got him on it. Congratulations.
Dru McAnellyHey dude. Mike McCarthy. Congrat
Cole Inglehearing
Stoy HallAll right. No one wants to listen to Mike McCarthy. No. At all ever.
Cole IngleSo I'll start cuz. Jerry Jones the background. I got the.
Dru McAnellyI got chills. Is that what's
Cole Inglehis name? It's, no, that's his son. It's it's Steven Jones's son. Yeah. So it's that would be Jerry Jones's grandkid. Okay. Yeah. All right. But Jerry Jones is obviously very polar polarizing figure. A guy that I have wished multiple times throughout my cowboy fandom was no longer the owner of the Cowboys, or at least relinquished some of the Yeah. Player responsibility, GM responsibility. That's one of the most respectable moments that I've experienced of Jerry Jones. Yeah. In my, oh shoot. Now 29 years of cowboy fandom, 30 years of cowboy fandom, probably. Awesome moment. Awesome moment for his dad, obviously. And then, the guy's just gonna put in work and do everything he can. For the organization. So it was just a really cool to see one of the awesome draft moments this year. Yeah.
Stoy HallHands down. Hands down. The other one would've been we didn't have it in there, but with the Steelers going with Porter Junior. Oh, yep. Very similar. Yep. Yep. Obviously he's not on the staff, but a very similar feel. And that those two things just got you. Chills also made me feel old. Okay. And I'm younger and both of you, but that made me, both of those made me feel old. Yeah. Just gonna say that. When we watched their dads
Cole IngleYes. In their prime. And their prime. And that's happening more and more these days. It sure is in sports. It sure is. Where dads. Gone and here comes sun. Baseball's been that way for a couple years now with more than a handful of guys. Yep. It's great. It's great to see. Great to see. This shows you a little bit about pedigree as well. Yeah. Pedigree matters. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. But yeah, there were cool moments of the draft. Had you seen that video before then? I
Dru McAnellyhad not. I gotcha. And that was really touching. Don't the porters have a special needs child? Did I see a video of that? Or they could have donated some money. Could be to us. I it was, yeah, it was I caught the tail end of it on. Okay. It was really cool, but I don't know. Yeah. The details. Gotcha. That might be something we look into. Google.
Cole IngleYeah. Google machine. No, very good. That how is supper Nick? Good. Crab cakes. You got
Stoy Hallyour brother fed. Yeah. Oh,
Cole IngleAnd he brought one hiccup. Yep. One hiccup. Who hiccups once? That's impressive. I don't know. I don't know. All right. No. So that's NFL draft. Any final thoughts? Did we cover everything we wanted to cover with it?
Stoy HallYeah. I didn't mean it drafts draft man. Yeah. Obviously you talk about your teams and things that happened, but this one, there wasn't. Yeah,
Cole Inglelet's talk I want to talk quarterbacks a little bit more with within overall. Okay. So let's quickly talk where quarterbacks went, yeah. In the draft. Just because obviously that's what dominates the league. So you had quarterbacks going one and two. Do you think Bryce Young was the best quarterback in the draft? No. If you had the number one pick, who would you have drafted? Oh, quarterback. You had to draft a quarterback. Let's put it, let's make it a little bit
Dru McAnellyeasier. Give me the top five that went, or top three that went, that would be
Cole Ingleyoung Stroud and then Richardson. And then you had Leviis and Hooker both dropped. Those were the top five taken.
Stoy HallIf you have to. If you have to, you gotta go young. Only for the simple fact of their offense translates better. Way better. In the history of Alabama, quarterbacks is a lot better than the history of Ohio State quarterbacks. Okay. I don't like it per se. But if you're gonna have, if you have to. If
Cole Ingleyou had the number one overall pick as the Panthers, would you have taken a
Stoy Hallquarterback period? Seeming how they traded before to get the number one pick to do it. They already played their cards. If they were already the number one, I would've traded down. Because you could've went down to three, four. Yeah, no, I don't. You would've lost. Lost out on either Strout or Young. But you could, one of them at three or four, you're not. And then you pick up an extra pick like that would've been my play. But they already traded to get him so they knew what they were wanting.
Cole IngleWhat are your thoughts on, and
Stoy HallI'm okay with that
Cole Inglebefore I get Drew's thoughts, what are your thoughts on success of top four, top five quarterbacks drafted? Is there any one of them do you, that you think has a five plus years starting future? Ooh, five
Stoy Hallplus years starting
future.
Cole IngleSo they're gonna make it to whatever their second, their big deal. Any of those guys.
Stoy HallOh, that's
Cole Ingletough. I have my opinion on the quarterbacks of this draft, and it's not good.
Stoy HallOh, that's a really tough fi. I don't know if I have that. I don't, I can't say they, they will. I think the person who will be like, of the five that'll be around. They're all gonna be around. But that will, has the, I believe, the best upside to be around just playing. It's probably Richardson. Okay. Because he can do the, they can use him different ways. All right. Otherwise I didn't will we had a whole Yeah. Whole segment about will leave it Levi's. Yeah. And him seeing him fall was not a shock by any means to me. Hooker's injury, that would be where you're at with that one. I'm not a Stroud guy. And I think Young's too small. Okay. I just
Cole Ingledon't think with it, I don't injuries for him. You think that'll be the downfall
Stoy Hallfor him? Yeah. And injuries in the short quarterback syndrome that we see with Mayfield we've seen with Murray. Murray, like he's just small.
Dru McAnellyTwo is getting banged up. Yep.
Stoy HallYeah. Like he's just small. Yep. And like short, he is short.
Cole IngleSo how he weighs
Stoy Hall180 pounds too. So I don't see that drew
Cole Inglethoughts overall.
Dru McAnellyI like Will
Stoy HallLevi, how he's a man.
Cole IngleHe, he had put his mayonnaise in his
Stoy Hallcoffee.
Dru McAnellyI like him. I like his game. I like his demeanor. I love his arrogance. He
Cole Inglealso likes that he got drafted by a former Patriots
Stoy Hallcoach. Yeah. Oh. I like I, there it is. I. Do you
Cole Inglethink he starts this year?
Dru McAnellyYeah, I do. Okay. I think the guy, like right away or the mid-season? Mid-season, I think the best thing that happened to that dude was fallen and now the dude's got a chip on his
Stoy Hallshoulder. He does remind me of our backup quarterback. Tyler Henneke though. He's got that or I like lay for him. Okay. I just side note,
Cole Ingledo you like him better than any of the other quarterbacks on the draft?
Dru McAnellyI don't like any of the quarterbacks in the
Cole Ingledraft. So we're all kind of
Stoy Hallthink
Dru McAnellya horrible quarterback draft.
Stoy HallYeah.
Cole IngleI think it was. I don't know if I feel that it's a horrible draft or if, I just think that solid quarterbacks were extremely overhyped.
Stoy HallOverhyped. Wait on we went. We went, okay, so let's back up to last season. We were saying that draft class from a quarterback PO position, everyone was playing like, ah, do you pick one? Because you've got this strong class now. We, and we went with Ritter, which I'm actually happy with now. I look at these quarterbacks. You then get to this now, and now you're like, yeah, it's not as strong story. I'm gonna, I'm
Dru McAnellygonna, I'm gonna piggyback to something story said though, early in the podcast was dealing with the draft is we could sit here for hours, upon hours and talk, right? Yeah. You don't know until we get these guys on the field, right? You don't know how they're gonna react to different situations. We don't know how they're gonna handle the media, the pressure, the hype. Oh, does the system truly fit their skillset? Especially do they have injuries around'em? What's the O Line play? There are so many variables that go into best,
Cole Inglebut who do you think got put into the best situation then I think will ever you like, I mean you like where him dropping and quarterbacks dropping like that? Definitely. Can, there's been some
Dru McAnellysuccess stories of that him
Stoy Halland Absolutely. How about, yeah. I would say him and Hooker have the better situations. Yeah. Him and Hooker was
Cole Inglemy favorite quarterback going into this draft. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I didn't care about the injury, anything like that. I think that dude has moxie. Yep. And now dropping to the second round, I think he went to a good place where he's not forced to play right away. Yep.
Dru McAnellyAnd how'd that work for Aaron Rodgers?
Cole IngleI just think that I just, all the great, basically, yeah, I love that guy. Tommy didn't play right away because I wasn't gonna be surprised if somebody jumped in top 15 to grab him and they didn't because of the injury. And that's, that is what it is. But I don't think Anthony Richardson is an NFL quarterback. I you and I are gonna disagree. I understand what you're saying. As far as him being multiple, I don't think that he can ever. Unless he can overcome accuracy issues, aah. Josh Allen and somewhat Lamar Jackson. But Lamar Jackson's accuracy issues are overblown. He just has accuracy issues in big games. Not necessarily overall. Josh Allen has battled them from college, got way better. Has regressed this last season. Here's
Dru McAnellya guy I'm thinking of right now. Yeah. Of those first two or three quarterbacks drafted, do you think their skillset and their physicality is better than James Winston?
Cole IngleI just didn't like Winston from a maturity standpoint. Okay. Same thing, same reason way back when. I didn't like JaMarcus Russell. Oh yeah. Like you go back in like the, Johnny Menzel, baker Mayfield and Baker Mayfield. Like actually, yeah, like a, he wasn't terrible, but still like the mindset baker. Yeah. The mindset has not set them up for long-term success. Yeah. And that's what I'm trying to look at is like Bryce Young is in the right mindset with a Panthers team who will kick scratch, claw for every victory. They remind me of the lions. Yeah. Yeah. So like he's gonna go into a situation where we don't care if our backs are against the wall. We traded everyone that was good on our team away last year And still won. And still won. Yeah. Still find a way to compete. Yeah. And so that's why I don't mind that situation. The Texans at two I think are a mess, and I don't like a mess like shroud being put into that situation. I think Mills has done a. Like I don't think, I think he's a, he's a lifetime backup, unfortunately for him because of the situation. I
Dru McAnellyhonestly think CJ Stroud's the worst quarterback in the draft. Personally. That's my personal
Stoy Hallopinion. I felt the same way with Mil. Like why you have mills. I mills, this is a solid, average quarterback, right? So you can build everything else up and they don't have anything, many
Dru McAnellypeople disagree with that comment. That's just my personal opinion.
Stoy HallPeople love how you play Anything to do with the big tent. No. Okay. No, because,
Dru McAnellybut if you watch being a diehard haw guy, I don't feel hate towards Ohio State because they're an elite. But if you watch,
Stoy Hallbut he had a good, he had a good game in the big lights against Georgia. That's why that's the problem because he was not good all season, but you watched him against Indiana. Indiana. Or Iowa.
Dru McAnellyIowa was,
Cole Inglehe had a horrible game at time. He was so pedestrian.
Stoy HallYeah, he was like that most of the season. And just becau, Gring, his
Dru McAnellyred, his red zone production this year
Cole Inglewas not good. Not good. And you have to know who these guys are playing with. Bryce Young is playing with a set of the best linemen and the best receivers at the level of football he played and now is going into the nfl. CJ Stroud, same thing. Yep. He might be playing with the three best Receivers. Receivers in the entire draft, maybe. And Mar Marvin Harrison didn't even get drafted because he wasn't eligible. The, his best receiver is still maybe the
Dru McAnellytop three receivers on one team in the last 15, 20 years have called it football.
Cole IngleThat's comparable to the LSU trio that was there with bur, but I was stacked, so absolutely you have to perform, but there were too many times in games that are off the radar or whatever, that he just didn't, he just didn't really show up. And the talent overcame. The talent of his team overcame him playing bad.
Dru McAnellyAnd guess what, in the league there's no game off the radar, correct? No, there's no game. Correct. You have 16 games, they're all on the radar. So
Cole Ingle17 will 17. My bad. Yes. I think we're all in agreement on that then. So that's good conversation. We'll see where guys end up and yeah. And what happens. But let's talk quarterback signings because we've got a lot of guys who signed big contracts. We got Aaron Rodgers, who finally got signed in. New York and actually showed up to mini camp for the first time in my, a whole bunch of Packers fans throwing up and throwing stuff at their TVs as they watch him take a snap in May for the first time in what? 10 years
Stoy Hallat least a decade has to be.
Cole IngleAnd then you have Lamar Jackson finally got paid. Jalen Hertz got paid. And, you've got, so guys settling in. You got Jordan Love, who got a little bit of an extension with Green Bay Baker, went to Tampa Bay. Yep. So just
Dru McAnellythat one's gonna be interesting.
Stoy HallThat one. See so you don't know this, but, so Baker Mayfield married Emily Wilkinson was her name then, but I grew her family partially raised me. Okay. So I'm very I'm very close. So I have a thing, a little bit of thing I want Baker to do. No, except for now. And I will not apologize about that because he's on the box. Yeah. But I do like the situation he's put into for the box. I'm actually a Baker guy. I like Baker.
Dru McAnellyI
Stoy Halldon't mind
Cole IngleBaker at all. He likes Baker and Will Loveis. Sweet. That's an, that's all. If
Dru McAnellyyou can tell. I like guys that have a little chip on their shoulder and white
Cole Ingleguys with a little
Stoy Hallmoxie. Little moxie. Got it. Yeah. Got it. But yeah, no, there, there's some good signings. I, the
Cole IngleRogers in New York. Thoughts two sentences. The
Dru McAnellymedia.
Stoy HallNo clue.
Cole IngleNo clue. Two words. That's two words
Stoy Halloff. Take it. It's the Jets. Yeah. I know they're getting better. I know they played well, but there is something about guaranteed
Cole Ingleplayoffs. No. Yes. I say yes.
Stoy HallYes. I will put a shitty shot on it. Yes. Yes. How do you guys guarantee it's gonna be one to
Cole Inglelike, how do it, like I'm guaranteeing that the Jets make the playoffs. I,
Stoy HallI can't, I
Cole Inglecan't do that. If they were in, if Rogers is their quarterback, the Jets make the playoffs.
Dru McAnellyRemind me, was there defense any good last year? Yes. Yes.
Stoy HallThey were young. They were a playoff team last year. If they had a quarterback if Mike White, actually Mike White didn't get
Cole Inglehurt there. Playoff team. It didn't even
Dru McAnellySmith Crabcakes in here. Yeah. You know what New York's, they're due. Yeah.
Stoy HallThey're due. They are due. I just,
Cole Ingleit's a tough division though. You can speak to that. Yeah. With Miami being better are the dolphins gonna get significantly worse? No. Buffalo's, there's buffalo. And the Patriots are gonna be competitive. Yeah. Whether we like it or not. Like they might suck. Some of they love it. But it's tough division. It is
Dru McAnellyarguably maybe the most top to bottom, most balanced outside of n
Cole IngleFfc East, obviously
Stoy Hallfrom last year. Yeah. I, it's just a, it's a thing for me with Roger Rogers hasn't played well. Since what, two years ago? Yeah. I'm years ago. He's going to the afc so it's not just the division. Yeah. You've got the rest of the afc. You gotta deal with some issues. Yeah. That, and then he's got the media that's gonna be even more so than Green Bay. And I just, I think Rogers is on the decline that he's just not that dude. Just like Tommy the last couple years, just there was something that you can see in them that is not that sparkle.
Dru McAnellyI don't think Aaron takes care of his body the way Tom does. Oh, why he
Stoy Halldoes. Jimmy, do you think?
Cole IngleI don't know. I think he has a, I think this is a, gonna be a surprising year. I'm not ready to count. Let's go
Dru McAnellyback to Brett. Yeah. Brett goes to Minnesota. Played unbelievable. Brett goes to jets. Went to the Jets. Jets and played really well. Took him to the afc. Talk about a guy. Yeah he obviously went to rehab and, but another guy that didn't take gr his body was extreme. Way more beat up at that age than Aaron's was. Yeah.
Cole IngleAnd they got running backs, they got receivers, they got a defense like. I think
Stoy Hallit sets up,
Dru McAnellyI think Brett Far and Aaron Rodgers are, it's a coincidence, a little bit. No, no doubt. It,
Stoy Hallit's
Cole IngleLamar, he's coming back off injury, just gets paid.
Stoy HallMan, boy he swindled them too. Got receivers he wanted,
Cole Ingleso you got Deshaun Watson playing a full year in Cleveland. You've got the Steelers who got significantly better in the draft and get a year older. And they were a very young team. They got Rudolph older for picket, sorry, they've got their quarterback. And then who's the last team in that division? Bengals, bees who are, who have just proven who are the last couple years that are, they're gonna be right there. They're gonna be there. Lamar worth, first of all, worth the money. And second of all, can they finish top two in that division? I don't
Stoy Hallknow. That division is wide open. Yep. And stacked. I personally cannot pay a running quarterback that much money. I cannot do it because they can get hurt. No. Huh. Doing anything. And he hasn't proven to be able to throw the ball like he can. But they don't dedicate it to just doing that. They still use him to run and that's that's when their
Cole Ingleoffense is the most effective. It
Stoy Hallreally is. But the problem is, that's the history. That's not, longevity's not there for that. No, I agree. There's not one quarterback, the running quarterback that has survived. No.
Cole IngleNo. And then Jaylen
Stoy Halldo you are, you have to pay him. No, you can't. You pay him now in what, three or four years? He's gonna be middle tiered from a pay perspective and you got him locked up.
Dru McAnellyHis body's a little more apt to handle it, but yet every time you run, you're putting yourself at risk for injury. But Right. He doesn't, when a dude squats 600 pounds, he doesn't run that often. No. He
Cole Inglesmarter about taking and choosing, but yeah. Not to
Stoy Hallmention they could just quarterback sneak for half the game and win. Honestly
Dru McAnellyand not get touched. Yeah. And the amount of times they can go word on fourth down, the percentage of, have they
Stoy Halldecided that Scrum is illegal yet? No, they, I'm waiting on that.
Cole IngleThat went through the nfl. Rules this year, they didn't, did not even get brought up as a rule chain. Wow. Because that was, do you know the, we do
Dru McAnellyyou know what the weapon that is for their weapon offense. It's
Cole Ingleunstoppable. Okay. Tell me
Stoy Hallwhy. And now more teams will do it this year. Can have to, you have to copycat that, right? Yeah. If you can't
Cole Inglecopycat league. You think the chiefs are gonna put Mahomes in there after what's happening? No, because he got hurt.
Stoy HallHe got hurt in sneak anyway. But
Cole Inglethat's what I'm saying. Every team is looking at their but you can't tell me like you have the safest way to do it.
Stoy HallAlso what, like the way that when Mahomes got hurt on their sneak, they didn't wedge like that? No. If you wedge it like that, the quarterback's not gonna touch. You have
Cole Ingleto teach it. And I think there's just teams like, it's just professional sports and sports in general. Teams are hardheaded. They don't want to make the change. That's super obvious sometimes. And it's yes, you can teach that for three yards every time, but if you're not willing to change that, then no teams won't do it.
Stoy HallAnd I'm trying, I should, I'm still defensively trying to figure out how you really stop that. You have to submarine your other guys. You have to slant everyone else. You have to make yourself so vulnerable and backers have to fly over the top. It's
Dru McAnellyvulnerable, but you'd have to change personnel groups. And now when you change personnel groups, then you run play action or jump past or anything like that outside. That's what Like you're just it's it's. We talk about rich reward with offense, now you're flipping the script and it's risk reward defense. And when did we ever think we would say
Stoy Hallthat? I think the only thing you can really do is go bear tight. Have your backers buddy ride. There's no one behind your D-line. Like you have to attack it from there and then pinch on the sides, right? And hope. Hope he doesn't break it and hope your safety back there by himself. Doesn't anyone left like that? What else could you do? That's not
Cole Inglesomething if you do on defense though, is hope. What, how
Stoy Halldo you stop that? No one has to, but
Cole Inglewe're sitting in the, if we're sitting in the film room though, yeah. We're not hoping, we're just gonna, we're coming up with strategic. No, you're gonna, you're going,
Stoy Hallyou're gonna say, okay, we're gonna pinch, we're gonna get low, we're gonna try our ass off. But no one's proven that. Yeah. So stop it, dad. What was the
Dru McAnellyyardage when they ran out? Play? Was it two or
Stoy Hallthree? It's, yeah, they can run it from two or three. Yeah.
Cole IngleThey can, I don't think they don't. Yeah. There was actually, a couple times, like late in the regular season against the Cowboys when they lost that game. That, I don't know why they weren't sneaking. They didn't, that game ultimately didn't matter. They also didn't, they
Stoy Halldidn't, most
Dru McAnellyquarterbacks don't squat 600 either. Correct. His leg drives the way
Cole Inglethat, yeah. The way that he runs that is, is second to none. We
Stoy Halltalked about it last year, like surprisingly, they didn't run it as often as they could have. Should have. Yeah. Yeah. You could call that on almost every third and two. Third, you're getting close. Hell
Dru McAnellyyou call it on first down, you'd probably get five C there. You cross back, you might get
Stoy Hall20 drunk. Not wrong. All right, so quarterback talk. Who else?
Cole IngleThat's, those are the three that I had written down. Anybody else that you guys wanted to talk about? Do you think Deshaun Watson takes a step in the right direction this year, or is he just a lost cause?
Dru McAnellyWhere's the, is everything behind him? As far as legality stuff, that's gonna win. It, you can say it's still out there. You can say how mentally strong you are, but that's gonna sit there. Yeah. I
Cole Inglemean, he's actually gonna play football though, with the team for a full a year. A full off season. Yeah. A full, almost a full year from the time that you Correct. Deshawn
Dru McAnellyWatson. I like, I love his game. Yeah. I really do. See, I'd never liked his game.
Cole IngleYou didn't see I loved him at Clemson and I know you loved him at Clemson cuz Zane's
Dru McAnellyZane is a big, my son's a big Clemson family. He's a diehard Hawkeye. Let's get it straight. No, I get it. Clemson's number two. So I've watched a lot of Clemson football lately. I've always
Cole Inglebeen a fan, on the field. Tough,
Dru McAnellytough, gritty leader. Yeah.
Cole IngleYeah, I just don't know. Yeah, if you can recover from that or not. You I'm not getting into, I'm not getting into the Dak conversation tonight, so we can save that for closer to the season because I just, we just don't need that. Prove that. I don't need that in my life.
Stoy HallI thought, I'm pretty sure we can out vote you on that.
Dru McAnellyYou guys story, I thought that was in your original email of the script tonight. So I, I don't know where that got vetoed. Let's talk about Dak. Obviously Cole had similar
Cole Ingleon the show. I would loved if we would've drafted Hinton Hooker, let's put it that way.
Stoy HallLet's talk about Dak. What's there to talk about? No,
Cole Ingledaks Dak is Dak Kirk. Kirk is Kirk. And Dak is Dak. Oh Lord.
Dru McAnellyThey define love hate relationships, don't
Cole Inglethey? Should we should we take a quick Break and maybe cool down about 10 degrees and then come back and talk golf. We absolutely can. All right.
