Welcome to the athletic football show.

Today's Thursday, April 7th.

0:19.6

I'm Robert Mays.

0:20.5

Joining me today is my good friend Nate Tyson. How you doing, buddy? Doing well. The draft ticks closer and closer. And I'm really excited to talk about another position. We were talking pre-show. It really is fun hearing your perspective on these because you are, as you admit, you say you're fresher to it. But I'm telling you, sometimes it's so nice to hear that perspective because I get so lost in the sauce as these months go on. Well, the thing with me is that I don't watch a lot of college football either. So I don't have a ton of background information or a ton of preconceived notions about these guys. I mostly know them from the way they're talked about on the internet

0:54.5

until I start to get into the process. So you come into the film and when I click it open,

0:59.4

I have an idea of what I'm supposed to see based on the way that people have talked about these

1:03.9

guys. And sometimes I'm just shocked at the difference between the way they're portrayed and

1:09.1

what I'm watching. And it's not necessarily

1:11.5

that people are misleading me about what I'm about to watch is that you put players in buckets

That was slow.

1:29.3

And you go and you're like, what were you talking about? Look at the cinematography. Like, look at that. Or it's like, it's like this movie. You know, it's the elevator pitch in Hollywood. You know, like this is the new friends. and every single thing is try to be cookie cutter in order to communicate the ideas in a quicker,

1:29.2

easier way, and then by. new friends. And every single thing is try to be cookie cutter in order to communicate the ideas

1:45.2

in a quicker, easier way.

1:47.8

And then by doing that and bucketing it, you're limiting what you're actually talking about.

1:52.3

So you can only really experience it by watching it, the same way it is with any TV show

1:56.8

or player or whatever.

1:58.0

So we're going to talk about the receivers today.
