00:00 Um
00:01 So we already hit the what's up with downs segment during you want to talk about your my guy
00:06 Pull Glee see yeah. Yeah, let's do this um you realize polycarbonate to plastic, right?
00:12 Hey, look man. We ain't got to get into the weeds
00:15 nerd
00:17 I think the definition of it is really hard plastic if it was plastic right yeah, if it's everyday plastic
00:24 You just call it plastic you get the sound
00:26 Oh
00:28 We were practicing coach played in a film replica Glee see through like I guess it's hard to do the quarter
00:34 He's running to like away from his throwing off
00:35 Licked it to him back corner to end zone when they caught the ball like we looked at that throw
00:39 We probably watched like five I'm not gonna lie when he came when I had his first practice
00:43 We were like watching we're doing like seven on seven. We're watching just guys
00:46 We're all looking like we like dudes behind him are forgetting to go in because we're all just like wow
00:55 Like yo, he's cold
00:57 Alright so a couple things here. Hey, yo, hey yo
01:25 As as captain hey yo around here that walk into some suss every once in a while watch out now
01:30 Um, the other thing is they're not always right. They're not always 100% right? Okay, they're not
01:36 But nobody knows more than players with regards to whether or not a guy's a dude, right?
01:41 You know very early on at the quarterback position in particular
01:45 It only takes one of those right which is what they're talking about is a couple of throws that he made that they're all watching on
01:51 Film Warren said they sat there in the meeting room and watched it for a couple of minutes now if it if it was like that
01:57 If they're stopping and watching for a couple minutes, it must have been some some stupid shit
02:02 right some stuff that where
02:04 You watch a play like that happen and the coach sits there and rewinds it over and over again
02:08 And then he looks at everybody in the room and he says ladies and gentlemen
02:12 We got us one because that's exactly what it feels like you saw their faces
02:16 You saw the the smiles on their faces because every single one of them know that having a dude at that spot is unlike having
02:23 A dude anywhere else right when Jalen Carter walked on campus everybody knew that when George Pickens walked on campus
02:29 Everybody knew that but that does not provide
02:32 Unwavering confidence into a building like knowing you have a dude at the quarterback position does that changes everything?
02:39 It changes absolutely every bit of the vibe around the building and they knew
02:45 Immediately boys they knew immediately. This is a guy. Yeah, I mean, it's not even like we're halfway through spring practice or anything like that
02:52 I mean, it's freaking January the dudes been on campus for three weeks four weeks
02:56 Maybe like he's been around the team for not even a month at this point and people are already talking about him like this
03:01 It provides so many advantages
03:03 Advantages for you for it to be politically see in this situation too because you'd have to imagine that he's probably gonna be doing some
03:09 Scout team work and stuff like that
03:10 So I mean just having a having him be able to come in there and having it meet a success helps everybody around
03:15 It's not just helping the offense. It helps both the defense as well. I
03:18 Mean, it's not even the fact that you know, they're saying oh, he's doing a great job
03:22 You hear that a lot just just almost political at the point of like, yeah, you know, he's doing really good
03:27 He's really wildness the fact that they came out we're telling stories specific moments were like he made this throw that man
03:33 It's all go. Holy shit. That's good news
03:35 If you're a Georgia fan, and I think one thing I know about you know
03:38 Ryan is that I don't think he's ever gonna try to be more than what he is, right?
03:43 I don't think he's ever gonna project false confidence. I think he's ever reject false leadership or anything like that
03:48 And I think the number one thing nowadays to get people to buy into you as a football player particularly as a quarterback
03:55 It's to just be extremely genuine
03:57 Joe Burrow has this effect. It might cause him Joe cool
04:00 Yeah, I think that coolness that people don't I think people are mistaken just general genuineness like he's just himself, right?
04:07 He doesn't he doesn't portray coolness. He doesn't portray confidence
04:12 He just is right and that is very much. So to me or Ryan Puglisi is I don't think he I
04:18 Don't think he cares about what others necessarily think or expect him to be
04:24 I think he has his own set of expectations for himself
04:27 And he just goes out and does those things and I think that is a quick way to get older kids to buy into you
04:33 right, it's not
04:35 Going into your meeting week one and being some demonstrative outgoing leader. It's it's earning it, right?
04:42 it's like going out on the field and doing those types of things and and and earning the
04:46 Acceptance and respect of your teammates
04:51 I think it's kind of I don't want to compare to this exactly because it's very different
04:55 career paths that you have to get to to get to this point but it's gonna kind of made me think of like
04:59 When you have scout team players and they're kind of starting to impress the people that are actually getting starting reps and whatnot
05:05 Like you have to earn that respect first
05:07 Like if of course I think it all always kind of starts out like who the heck is this kid?
05:11 Why is he trying so hard like bro? You're on scout team
05:13 I there's no need for this and then it turns into like well
05:16 Let me tell you a story then like you start getting mentioned like I remember Stetson like people just with kind of sliding comments
05:21 I'm like, well, we got the Stetson Bennett dude. Like let me let me talk to you about this and then it built into like
05:26 Oh now he's our starting quarterback and we knew it two years ago
05:29 I've always said this about the University of Georgia as an insider
05:33 I do we rarely ever hear so-and-so is bad. Oh, we missed on that one, right?
05:38 Unless they just drastically missed and I'll have to name names but like a couple of them play for Nebraska
05:44 Um when they miss they miss bad and they'll let you know
05:47 But nine times out of ten, we don't hear anything bad out of out of Georgia in terms of an Intel guy, right?
05:54 You only hear the good stuff
05:55 All right, and one of the quarterbacks that we heard immediately when he walked onto campus
06:00 Hey, this guy this guy throws the ball way different than the rest of them. Holy shit
06:05 Wait till you see this Carson Beck
06:07 The moment Carson Beck got on campus during the Sugar Bowl practices before the year against Baylor
06:13 It was like it took four it took like three days and everybody's like, oh, oh wait till y'all see this kid throw the ball
06:20 That's about how long it sounded like it took with Boogaloo. Yeah, okay, and that checks out right?
06:25 We told you the whole process this it was a walking offer
06:28 All right, and when I tried to convey that to y'all, I don't know if everyone took me for face value
06:33 I know Murray didn't Murray didn't believe me Murray Murray was upset about the RIOA stuff because he really really likes rail
06:40 He thinks rail is gonna be really really special and I think real rail is gonna be really really good, too
06:43 But there's something about this one that this kid right here man. This kid is all horsepower
06:49 All right, he is all stallion and the moment he is broken and road like a Mustang
06:54 You're gonna get a lot of results out of this one
06:56 I got a good feeling about the the career arc of Ryan Puglisi at Jordan now with that said
07:01 Do you think this could possibly have negative effects?
07:05 Moving forward because you hear all these great things about Ryan Puglisi you hear how good he's doing in practice and it might be another
07:13 Two maybe three years if he gets on the field similar what Carson Beck is to where the fan base starts going
07:20 All right, where is he? Why is he not starting it? We're hearing all these stories
07:22 We're hearing all this Intel about how good he's doing. Why is he still on the bench?
07:25 Yes, you're worried about potentially losing him to the portal or something not even losing to the portal
07:30 But just the fan base what you saw with Stetson Bennett
07:33 And even a little bit of Carson Beck this year to where it's like, where's Brock Vandergriff? Where's Carson Beck?
07:38 Why is the backup that we're hearing so much about on tea leaves? Why is he not getting a playing time?
07:43 So I think that honestly at this point in his career if Kirby doesn't have that going on
07:49 He's probably felt like he's failed the room. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? And I think he learned that during from his career. I
07:56 Think he did have it from in 2019 and 2020 not be pushed at all
08:03 Terrified him I think yeah
08:05 Not only from a perspective of if this guy gets hurt
08:08 We're screwed but also from a perspective of this guy's not maximizing his talents and his outputs. Yeah, I mean
08:13 So yeah, I think to answer that question. That's why I would go. He's like you constantly
08:18 I think the state of this room has to be chaotic. It has to be pressurized
08:22 You have to feel like you're in a bubble, you know what I mean?
08:25 And I also don't think Puglisi is ever gonna shy from that
08:28 Yeah from my understanding and I can't remember the exact way he phrased it
08:32 But he basically told me I want to play on Sunday and if I can't play there then I'm not playing on Sunday
08:38 So I've just better get better
08:41 You know what?
08:41 I mean if I don't earn it I better figure out how if that's my if my end goal is to play in the league
08:47 Then I have to do it here because if I can't do it here, I can't do it there. That was his mindset
08:51 Which is a tremendous mind. Yeah
08:54 You know, that's very not very 18 year old like that's like 24 25 and you know, like I
09:01 It's another conversation. I was having the other day is and we don't have to do the we've already done the rail over spook
09:07 Lisi thing but there is
09:09 there is something for the fact that
09:11 Puglisi have one transfer in high school and the transfer was from
09:15 for lack of a better term
09:18 slappy
09:20 You matter Massachusetts high school football, which was borderline seven man for my understanding
09:25 Going from that to oh, hey, we got some we're gonna be something. I'm a football player dad
09:31 Let's go find out how good of a football player I am. Okay. Well, how do we do that?
09:34 Well, there's this place called Avon old farms, right? Let's transfer you up there. It's basically a football academy
09:40 It's IMG of the Northeast. Let's send you up there. Well, what do I do when I'm up there dad?
09:45 Well, it's basically boarding school and you'll wake up in the morning at 6 a.m
09:48 You'll go to a lift and then you'll go to a position meeting and then you'll go to class and then you'll come back for
09:54 weights and then you'll come back for
09:56 You know practice and you'll do post-practice rehab and you'll go to study hall and you'll go back to sleep in your dorm room
10:02 It'll basically feel like college. That's what we'll do. We'll send you to college
10:06 We'll send you to college before college and we'll see if you're ready. And what did he do?
10:10 Yeah, walk in chooch offers everywhere and now he's at the University of Georgia. I think he's ready. I think he's a mature
10:17 and physically
10:19 Physically as gifted as anybody that they have in the room
