00:00 I'd love to know your take on Justin Scott, the player and how he could fit
00:03 down here in Lance Guidry's defense.
00:06 >> This is where the fun begins for me.
00:07 I like to be techie with it.
00:09 If you're not a technical person, you won't like this as much, but
00:12 he's as versatile a defensive lineman as there is.
00:15 It's over 280, because he can play three tech in a four three.
00:19 He could play strong side end in a three man line.
00:22 He can play some nose guard, but that's not his best spot.
00:25 I think three tech in a four three, which is kind of Miami's base.
00:28 The old school, my favorite player to watch historically for
00:31 the Canes is Cortez Kennedy.
00:33 I thought he's as good a player as there's ever been at Miami.
00:35 And I'm not trying to pick a whole lot of sides, but
00:37 he's the one guy that nobody could block.
00:40 And he just dominated against everybody.
00:42 This kid has those kind of physical traits.
00:44 Now, I don't know if he's gonna work like Tez.
00:46 But at the same time, in a one gap, get up the field system, he's your dude.
00:51 But goal line, if you wanna put him on the nose, if you got a team that's got
00:54 a big quarterback that does the push or whatever, he's 310.
00:58 I mean, you put him next to Artavis Jones.
01:00 That's a lot of people in two.
01:03 I mean, it's like three people, but two.
01:05 So I mean, that's hard.
01:07 That's what Miami was doing in the 80s and 90s when I was growing up.
01:11 You couldn't run the ball between the tackles against them.
01:13 It was second and eight all day.
01:14 But second and eight is never good.
01:16 Miami is getting back to that and guys like that you could move around.
01:20 Man, that's really exciting because I don't even know what Lance is gonna do
01:24 because he has such a multiple front.
01:27 I'm sure he's sitting there looking on his pad right now trying to figure it out.
01:30 That's what these guys do.
01:31 They love to get in the lab and talk about that.
01:33 It's a blast, man.
