It's the most valuable thing.

Michael Lewis wrote the blind side and wrote the science of this is how the left tackle became the most valuable thing because it protects the most valuable thing.

But if it's a weak quarterback draft and what I have is something that can blow up your left tackle.

Like that's the there is nothing more valuable that you can give me in football than a guy who can do that.

And I don't care that his arms are shorter than the next guy's.

I saw what that guy looked like in college.

And the University of Miami has had very few of those throughout their history.

Somebody who can get back there no matter what.

But what Zaz is saying here, and I think this part is fair, if your job depends on it and you've got to hit on a top 10 pick because you can't miss on those, it'll set you back in your employment.

to miss on those.

You're asking Ruben Bain to physically be an unprecedented player.

But the part of the conversation that's interesting to me, and I do this all the time with coaches,

The reason Mick Cronin is the way that he is is because he's a control freak who doesn't actually have that much control once it is everyone starts playing.

And it's gotta be exasperating.

It's gotta affect your mental health and your happiness to be a coach who's a control freak and you have control over 10% of the stuff when it happens.

You can call timeouts to just stop things from happening to you that are out of your control.

Your job depends on getting this right.

It's not a science.

It's subjective.

There are a thousand things that can make a player a failure, a quitter, and one of them before now has not been arm length.
