Welcome into a live inside Carolina podcast. I'm Tommy Ashley. That's Jason Staples, as always, sponsored by Johnny T-shirt. Today we talk football. Today we talk the North Carolina defensive backroom. If you remember the tarpette premium message Board, and of course everybody here should be,

0:40.9

but if you're not, certainly subscribe and get all the perks that come with that.

0:47.2

But one of the big perks is Jason Staples doing his yearly scouting reports,

0:49.5

position by position, player by player.

0:51.5

And we are starting that.

1:03.9

The content on the message board started on May 19th with the introduction and has proceeded each day thereafter until today when the Thaddeus Dixon scouting report hit the tar pit premium message board.

1:12.2

So what we're going to do is we're going to talk about it. In years past, we've sort of reviewed what you've already read on the message boards and on the stories. We're going to do this a little bit different. We're going to sort of have some superlatives

1:16.5

and have five categories. And then we'll take a couple questions from the chat. If folks have them,

and we can go through those. But just sort of in a nutshell, let people know how you go about

1:51.9

doing this scouting reports on each of these players. So one of the first things I do is I want to

take a look at as much film of these guys as I can.

2:03.3

And to what a extent I have, All-22, in the secondary especially, that's where I'm going to go.

2:09.7

And I've got some.

2:10.7

I don't have every game of every player, especially this year where a lot of these guys are from all over the country, different places in my

2:19.5

all 22 library is not unlimited. But I want to take a look at what they put on film, first and

2:28.0

foremost. And then there are times where I need a pallet cleanser, so I'll go and I'll take a look

2:33.4

at somebody else that I know, like, okay, Jalen Ramsey's really good. I want to see what Jalen Ramsey,
