00:00Bob, I said it Monday.
00:01I said it last.
00:02He's going to be the best center in the league.
00:04Eventually, he's going to be the best center in the league.
00:06I thought, Bob, for the first game that he played, it was unbelievable.
00:11Just, and here's the thing about it, Bob, is, is, did we love Lindenbaum?
00:15Yep.
00:16But Lindenbaum, what did we always say about Lindenbaum?
00:20Big guys on him.
00:21He has a hard time with big people.
00:23All right.
00:23He was 6'2", you know, 295, 300 pounds, Lindenbaum.
00:28You know, whereas Venga comes in there, he's 6'4", 3 1⁄4, and he's just as quick, fast, all that
00:37stuff.
00:38But this kid, he can reach a three technique.
00:41He can do all the things, plus he can anchor because he's 320.
00:45The thing that he's got to learn, Bob, is, and same with Emery, the stunts and twists when they're coming
00:50around and stuff,
00:51that's where they're a little bit raw because when they come around, as a center, you've got to have your
00:56head on a swivel.
00:56So you're over here, and then they twist, then you've got to come back.
01:00You know, and he was slow on that.
01:02But his run's tough, awesome.
01:05Awesome.
01:06Comboing up to the linebackers and stuff.
01:08Had a couple pancakes.
01:10And he was, I even texted Eric.
01:13I said, Eric, I said, if you keep him at center, he's going to be the best center in the
01:15league.
01:16I said, I'm going to be the best center in the league.
