What did that look like on tape?
35:53
Yeah, you go back to great coaching on that because you're setting something up.
36:00
You have your play and then you have a complimentary play.
36:04
And so I call that complimentary play calling.
36:06
And it was an excellent job by Liam and the coaching staff and that they completed that little quick screen to Travis's.
36:13
They were heading toward the north end zone on the left side.
36:16
of the formation and then later in the game, you go back to something similar and you're putting Travis in motion and it's almost like a, it's like eye candy, you know what I mean? And so the first time you put him in motion, everybody's eyes are on him and then you throw him the ball and he makes a, you know, I think it was like a five-yard gain and it was actually considered a rush because it was a lateral.

And I'll just take your comments off the air, Jeff.
27:32
A lot of people have gone back to the interception that Travis Hunter had in the end zone in London there against C.J. Stroud, and they pointed out the, was it a fake stumble for Travis Hunter trying to get C.J. to throw it into a window that Travis wanted him to throw it into? Is Travis Hunter at a point already as a young player, is he baiting quarterbacks week to week on the tape?
27:54
I don't see that.
27:55
I mean, I've heard people say that, that he had the fake little misstep.
28:01
I just don't see that.
28:03
I thought it was just great coverage.
28:05
And then I don't even really look at it as like a fake slip or anything of that nature.
28:10
It was just he was just lowering his center of gravity on the turn to get into the front of the offensive receiver.

Has his effort dropped off at all in other parts of his game when you watch it back on tape, whether that be the route running or blocking?

Little Abbey Road.

I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me.
26:57
Welcome back to The Nemec Chevrolet Outdoor Show.
27:00
Speaking words of wisdom, brought to me.
27:00
Got a, uh, full house this morning.
27:02
Captain Chip Wingo, Captain Kirk Walsh, Leigaman via Opal overseas- She stands beside me ... listening this morning.
27:10
What's your, what's your weather like there, Jeff, right now? It, uh, it's actually been kind of unseasonably warm here for- Oh ...
Kirk Waltz
Kirk WaltzPANELIST
29:16
Uh-huh.
23:44
What did you see? Why should people who are listening to this be excited about what he has to bring?
23:49
First of all, the level of play has to be at the top of the food chain to be considered all pro.
23:57
I mean, that's elite.
23:59
like one of the best three, four corners in the league.
24:03
That's all pro, right? And the level of play that he had, Travis displayed sticky coverage, awareness, ball skills, a physicality.
24:15
He covered all the bases that you want to have in a defensive back.
24:20
And he had probably one mistake.

17 MINS LATER

40:58
But so far, not a lot of luck.
25:30
... is that it, it's the thing that burns itself in your mind a little bit there.
25:34
Yeah, the, the, the interesting thing I thought that was pretty cool to watch is in this game that Travis Hunter was essentially the open field cornerback, and then, uh, Jarian Jones was the boundary cornerback.
25:50
So when the ball's on the hash, Jarian was playing to the short side of the field, and then Travis was to the wide side of the field.
25:59
So a lot of times if you're a nickel, then, uh, Jordan Lewis would be lined up next to Travis.
26:04
And they did some really cool, unique things with Travis to the wide side of the field.
26:10
He played flat.
26:12
He played flat in a zone.

They almost had that happen on the Parker Washington play, right? Tanner Cozill came in motion to the, to the end of the line of scrimmage, and Trevor had to scream at him to get him to stop so that they could get set long enough to get the play off in that moment, and Parker almost came up with the tremendous [laughs] catch on the other end of it.
29:54
Are you kidding me for an NFL debut for that young man?
29:58
It was awesome.
30:00
And, I mean, you can talk about it from so many different points, but the thing that I really jumped on in our broadcast was, how about the strong hands? Because, you know, I expect Trevor to make tight window bullet throws.
30:14
I mean, that's the level that he's playing at.
30:16
You know, you've come to expect that with him.
30:18
But even still, the window was so small.
30:22
And I don't even think that Trevor could see Josh Cameron when he threw the ball.

55:13
How did it look in the run game from your eyes checking back on the tape for the team this week against the Browns?

140:02
You
140:03
absolutely have to get.
140:04
You got Denver on deck.
140:07
You got all kinds of good teams coming up on deck.
140:09
New England.
140:10
Sorry, Cleveland.
140:11
We got to get
140:37
I love it.
17:05
Curious about your thoughts on that and what area you think is most improved.
17:09
I think the depth has definitely improved.
17:11
And here's how you kind of know.
17:14
Like Yasir Abdullah got picked up off waivers.
17:16
Atlanta Falcons claimed him.
17:19
You traded Hunter Long away and got a draft pick in return.
17:24
So when you have other teams that are taking your cast-offs or you're trading people away, that means that you've got a roster that many people are looking at to find some of the cast-offs.

10 MINS LATER

27:20
Is it due to size and skill? They just don't want to lose that talent base? What is it in terms of the numbers game to that? Surprise you at all? Is it pretty standard fare?
19:39
Are we getting safer and safer in talking about Anton for the first time finally making that flip from the right to the left side for the football team?
19:46
Yeah, I think so.
19:47
And you guys remember I was talking about it years ago that they should have taken – let him play left and move Cam to right.
19:53
You know, and I think finally – but, you know, here's the thing.
19:56
In order to do something like that, you have to trust the guy that you're moving the left tackle.
20:01
And the reality is is that Anton Harrison never gave you a reason to trust him prior to last year.
20:07
You know, because he never finished.

6 MINS LATER

26:04
Do you agree with that? How do you handicap the linebacking room outside of Foyer and Lewick?
10:03
What storyline are you most looking forward to watching develop when camp is opening up next week?
10:13
Well, I mean, a couple things.
10:14
One is that there's a lot of storylines, I think, that I would be more focused on as far as once the season begins.
10:20
When training camp comes about, sometimes it's very difficult to kind of get a gauge on where this football team is at or any football team is at or where individuals are at.
10:31
Sometimes the preseason gives you a little clue.
10:33
Sometimes it doesn't.
10:35
Sometimes you come out of the preseason feeling really good about a football team and then all of a sudden it gets to the regular season and it's a very disappointing kind of start.

10 MINS LATER

21:10
What do you expect in year two from Travis Hunter?
