00:00Do you really believe that this man has reinvented something that football players have been doing for 60 years?

00:06Uh, not necessarily reinvented, but I I do think that he

00:11You know, we are talking about a guy that was playing a different style of football in australia

00:15And this is actually I know people aren't really going through the weeds of like hunting trends in the nfl

00:21But uh, he's not the only former australian rules

00:24Sponsor entering the league, uh in the last few years. I know the steelers have won now, too

00:29Um, I was actually watching that game on saturday night, you know

00:32Because we had the whole justin fields russell wilson thing going on and yeah

00:35Those guys on the steelers broadcast were like look at this guy and honestly, I can't tell you his name right now

00:39But they were like, this is australian rules football, dude. And so i'm like, all right, there's another one

00:44Uh, there is something different about the spin on the ball and he's and we see it in practice every day guys

00:50He actually will just stand there like at about the 45 yard line and just put these things right in the corner in the field

00:56Over and over again and the ball doesn't bounce into the end zone. It bounces back towards the field

01:02Which is what you wanted to do and he does it over and over and over again

01:05Adam, i'm just so curious right because I think initially when the bears selected him in the fourth round

01:09There was a large group of people that were weary about the selection, but clearly clearly there's value there

01:15Why do you feel like other teams didn't place that same value on a guy like tory taylor?

01:20Well, I do know from talking to richard hightower after the draft that they really did feel like he was going to be

01:25Coming off the board soon. Um and hightower told me this was like a week or so after the draft

01:31uh, when we had him on our show on chco that

01:34You know, he he after the pick he was immediately getting texts from other special teams coordinators that were

01:39Angry because they were they were about to take him so he was gonna go, you know somewhere in that area

01:45Maybe most around later, uh, but somewhere in that area and you know

01:51I think when you sort of now or in august and we see this thing coming together

01:55And you've seen it in the pre-season a little bit like this is going to be a good defense

01:58you do have a young offense, but between your defense and if you do have a

02:03punter that I am

02:05Officially dubbing the weapon because everyone's trying to call up a nickname for this guy. I'm calling him the weapon

02:10Uh, it actually should give kayla williams on the offense

02:14favorable field position for most of the season
