00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.119

When Yeah, we had we had a

13
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:58.159
good show and slated anyway. You
know. We had Lamont still Lay Yeah,

14
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:06.359
yeah, and then we had uh
Rob waldropame Hall of Fame guy,

15
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.200
kind of the you know, the
quiet guy of the four Hall of Famers,

16
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:14.640
right, Cecil and Ricky Hunley are
on the staff, Teddy Bruce Key's

17
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.760
on ESPN, He's all over the
place. Rob Waldrop, who really think

18
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.799
you know he was the first of
them? Well, no, Ricky Honley

19
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:26.599
was the first. But and but
anyways, Waldrop, you know, the

20
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:33.239
really the anchor to that desert swarm
defense and he's just kind of behind the

21
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:37.519
scenes kind of guy, low key
kind I know he was. I don't

22
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.120
know if he's still anyways, he
was supposed to be here on the on

23
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.719
the show today. Uh noticed that
late notice that he won't be able to

24
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.280
make it. We're still gonna try
and line him up for tomorrow, he

25
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.799
said to the most better day.
Yeah, but I think we got to

26
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.560
an able replacement. It was kind
of funny press conference today with jet Fish

27
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.040
right the two deep Jet two deep
depth chart was released and so there were

28
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.560
a lot of questions about it,
and so Brian had some funny some questions.

29
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.599
It's there's a lot of some discussion, but there a couple of funny

30
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.240
things that happened as a part of
that. But uh, but uh well

31
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.960
we'll get to that in a second. But uh, Brian will be here

32
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.919
at for seventeen for twenty to kind
of go over the depth chart a couple

33
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:22.039
of surprises. Yeah, well from
from from the media's end, Yeah,

34
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.120
from our end, maybe not from
that coach and the coache and and and

35
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.960
Jdfish speaks to that that it's shouldn't
be a surprised to players, but we

36
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.840
were a little bit. So It's
funny because the guy who asked the question

37
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.319
originally it was Michael eb Right,
and he kind of phrased it perfectly where

38
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.680
he wanted to go with it,
you know, to depth chart, blah

39
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.159
blah blah. It's more of a
story for us than it is for you.

40
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.680
Yeah, you know, And that's
pretty much how we ask call our

41
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.400
I shouldn't ask all our questions,
but all our questions are media driven because

42
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.719
we have a story to do,
right, and sometimes it pisses off coaches

43
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.560
or players, but we have to
create our own stories. Well we do,

44
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.599
and and and part of it is
because we've got such so much less

45
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.680
material because you don't get to very
very much. It's very true, and

46
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:06.319
depth charts, for some reason in
this preseason have become a big talking point

47
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.120
for coaching to that point. H
It's kind of interesting because previous bad years

48
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:15.240
there was no depth. Yeah,
right, and so yeah, and I

49
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.520
mean yeah, and Arizona is really
intriguing because they've got there's guys all over

50
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.000
the place, but who are worthy
of being starters. Maybe would be started

51
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.800
somewhere, but they're not starters here
in Arizona, which is unusual, very

52
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.400
unusual. Right, But this is
not the basketball team. This is a

53
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.000
football team. But let's get let's
get into some of the jet clips,

54
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.159
you know, his introduction talking about
crowd and just excited to play and all

55
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.879
that kind of stuff. We'll play
that, then we'll get into the depth

56
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.280
charts stuff and excited about the game, excited to get started. I think

57
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:47.360
our team is they're ready to play
another opponent. It's been a long thirty

58
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.000
one days and a good thirty one
days, but you get to a point

59
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.840
where you're tired of practicing and you
want to play, and that's where they're

60
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:02.960
at right now. We're very fortunate
going into this game that our team is

61
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.840
ready, is healthy, is ready
to go. I don't expect anybody not

62
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:13.759
to be able to play in the
game and in our too deep which way

63
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:18.240
I think we released today and I
think that we'll get after it and do

64
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:24.560
the best we possibly can to play
with great effort on every single snap and

65
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.480
see how physical we can play on
Saturday night. That is the challenge to

66
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:36.319
our team. Can we be extremely
physical? So we'll see looking forward to

67
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.680
a great crowd, looking forward to
the day we don't have to talk about

68
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.879
the crowd, looking forward to the
day that the crowd is just here.

69
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.439
But we're getting closer to that.
We're getting closer. That we sold a

70
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.959
thousand tickets this morning from what I
was told, So we're a thousand up

71
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:54.800
from what we were yesterday when Dave
spoke. So that's a good sign.

72
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.639
And as we get closer to the
game, hopefully that will continue and we'll

73
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.560
be out of point point in time
that we are a sellout at Arizona Stadium

74
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.879
every time we play. So that
is the goal, and the goal is

75
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.480
to not have to talk about that
any further. So, Jay, you

76
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.240
didn't ask a question. I didn't
either. I just didn't feel compelled to,

77
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.920
but I wanted to. It would
have been if we had access to

78
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.680
him off the off the podium,
I would have asked him one question,

79
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.120
what about you? Would you would
you think? Were you thinking about asking?

80
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.279
Had I had my mind was.
It was a silly one, but

81
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.439
I would have started my story with
this because that's kind of simple for me.

82
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.040
I can ask him. So he's
in his third year now. Three

83
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.000
years ago he had his first game. Was he nervous that night? Did

84
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:42.240
he feel uneasy? Did he whatever? And three years later does he still

85
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.879
get nervous? And is this a
big game? I ran a great question

86
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.079
up. No, but it's kind
of like not those guys asked the team

87
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.839
question. I'm more about cycle a
lot, you know, because what if

88
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:58.399
you lose it, what if you
don't play well today or Saturday? Compared

89
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.199
to you know what I'm saying,
I'm trying to guilt some emotional kind of

90
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.519
thing from him. Well, you
know, do you think he still gets

91
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.319
nervous? I think he does.
I think he does. I mean I

92
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:09.879
think he's I think he's confident.
But who doesn't. I mean, who

93
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.600
doesn't get nervous? Steve? I
mean, you know you do, and

94
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.279
and it's nervous, but it's not
nerves about worrying about winning or losing.

95
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.240
That's nerves about that. It's just
nerves about we have a game, and

96
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.800
we've been building up to this and
now it's here. No, that's what

97
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.560
I would have asked him. And
that's kind of how what I started the

98
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.360
starting story. He he was nervous, then he's still nervous now after twenty

99
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.600
seven games or whatever. No,
my time as a coach is so far

100
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.560
away from this. I mean,
did you get nervous? Yes, every

101
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:43.319
game? Why you wanted, You
wanted your team to play well. You

102
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.279
you wanted to win. In my
case, you know, both my kids

103
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:51.879
were pitchers, so you know I
got even more nervous when they were pitching,

104
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:59.000
but not not worrying. I wouldn't
say the nervous was nervousness was about

105
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.959
oh what if lose or you know, about the winds, and the nervousness

106
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:08.439
was just about making sure that you
did all the right things to give your

107
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.199
to do your job as well as
you can, to give your team a

108
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.399
chance away. And did that go
it went away? I assume I don't.

109
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.720
I don't know if I got I
wouldn't say I got like total butterflies

110
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.560
every game. But every game I'm
like, I'm a little worked up.

111
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:24.680
I was okay, So if you're
you know, under the lights in Arizona

112
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.240
State and forty fifty thousand people there. Of course, you're going to be

113
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.680
somewhat nervous. I don't think.
I think if you're not nervous, you're

114
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.319
you're a little you little I know, I don't. I think I think

115
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.240
you can be too relaxed. I
know you gotta haven't. And that's why

116
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.240
I wanted to ask the question,
because it's it's a different question, and

117
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.959
it would have been his response to
me would have been, that's what I

118
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.079
wanted, That's what I was looking
for. He says, no, I'm

119
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.319
okay, or you know what I'm
saying. Either way, it was going

120
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.160
to be, you know a story. I think coaches do get nervous,

121
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.279
Steven. I think Bill Belichick gets
nervous. I didn't see. To me,

122
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.079
it's it's like gold in fact,
you and I, but it's I

123
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:01.800
don't have that. You and I
had this argument or whatever. It was

124
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.079
about two years ago when I've talked
about the guys and we had John Pena,

125
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.040
and we didn't asking this. How
they play and their athletes, right,

126
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.319
they've been doing this all the year. This is what they do.

127
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.040
And they're in the super Bowl or
a big playoff game. Do you still

128
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.160
get nervous? And I'm thinking This
is what they do. And I'm sure

129
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.519
there's a the jit or some kind
of but but a nervous this is what

130
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.560
they do. I know you were. You were very nervous when you took

131
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.680
this job. Right anymore? I
still get a little twitched before a show,

132
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.079
really because I don't, you know, I just want us to have

133
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:31.559
a good show, Steve. Yeah, well we just kind of I know,

134
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.039
we're just trying to shoot the crap. I know, but I think

135
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.159
about the show all day long.
Really, I do, what are you?

136
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.120
What are you doing? I do
because I just want, you know,

137
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.320
I want to put out a good
product. But Steve, I've done

138
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.000
that about I did that route every
news release I ever wrote, oh and

139
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.519
every story I ever wrote. I
get that you don't want to screw it

140
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.639
up. That's what it is.
That's a different type of nervous. You

141
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.960
didn't you didn't qualify, you didn't. Yeah, exactly, But you know

142
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.840
what I'm saying. Okay, Okay, what else we gotta Let's talk about

143
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.759
names. Let's talk about names.
Okay, Well they're they're okay. Here's

144
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.000
here's so. An email went out
before today's press conference saying that they're going

145
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.559
to do a new procedure at the
press conference is and they wanted everybody to

146
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.279
raise your hand and then when you
get called on, say who you are

147
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.759
and then in the name of the
organization, which is well, you do

148
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.639
at the NC Double A tournament,
the PAC twelve tournaments, big events like

149
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.639
that. We're sitting in a room. Everybody knows everybody, so we started.

150
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.000
So guys are asking questions, they're
doing This was Jed's response when after

151
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.360
that happened a couple of times.
Are you guys messing when they giving me

152
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.120
your names? I mean, we're
in your three by now, guys,

153
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.720
I do know all of I do
know all of you by now, and

154
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.919
this is something we could have done
in twenty twenty one would have been helpful.

155
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.480
But now at this point, I
think we're good. Brian from az

156
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.559
Desert Swarm. Uh, the question
that you just asked me was about the

157
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.519
tape. Uh. You know,
honestly, the real focus for us is

158
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.399
going to be how good can we
play? How good can we execute.

159
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.600
I've certainly watched their last six games
that they played last season, did not

160
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.919
spend a lot of time focusing in
on our game from two years ago.

161
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.039
Obviously, I watched it. I
watched you know, most of the plays

162
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:28.279
that have been run against their defense
and game won the week one or week

163
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.159
one of a season. If it's
not about you, I don't know what

164
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.960
it's about. I don't know who
who can really figure out what a new

165
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.919
what a team's gonna do. We
put a certainly lot of new stuff in.

166
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.240
I'm sure that they did as well. So the key really is gonna

167
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:46.559
be how we execute our offense and
our defense and our kicking game. The

168
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.919
joke, if there was a joke
on this, he was the only one

169
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:56.080
that didn't know this in the room
exactly. I was surprised at that that.

170
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.000
In fact, I kind of thought
that it probably would have been somebody

171
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.679
from the football office who did that. Maybe it was, but nobody told

172
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.440
Jed right, and it may have
been maybe like Brendon or somebody. It

173
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.000
wouldn't been, wouldn't It was pretty
funny too, because then David Kelly asked

174
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.720
the question without giving his name,
and he goes, who are you?

175
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.320
You know? It added some really
light uh and it just got it was

176
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.320
still when you look at him and
he's talking on the podium, and then

177
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.480
I respect Jed a lot obviously he's
been every everywhere. He's a normal coach,

178
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.879
not a normal coach, but a
coach coach, a coach's coach.

179
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.759
What never joked with you like that? Yeah? Yeah, you know what

180
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.480
I'm saying. He's just a dude
who kind of likes the coach. Yeah,

181
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.360
and he's having fun. Yeah,
he's Tommy Lloyd's the same way.

182
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.919
Yeah, those two guys as far
as that goes are. It was funny.

183
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:54.240
Somebody asked me because you know how
Tommy pokes passed. Yeah, and

184
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.080
I actually got asked, does Tommy
not like Bruce Pascoe And they said no.

185
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.720
I said, he loves him,
and that's why he pokes at him

186
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.039
because he knows that he can.
And they fun with it. Sure,

187
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.519
sure, sure, pretty funny anyway. So Michael lev did ask about we

188
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.919
ask Lute about Bruce different. Yeah, that's a whole different things or by

189
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:18.480
you or me? All right.
Michael Left did ask specifically about the depth

190
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.000
chart that came out today. There
were a couple of surprises, I think,

191
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.360
stuff that we kind of thought,
but then you know, we saw

192
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.559
it in print and it sounds a
little different. Here's what he Jed had

193
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.879
to say about his depth chart.
Yeah, I would think that you would

194
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.240
have to be unaware as a player
to know where you are on the depth

195
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.279
chart by this point in time,
based on you know, we run groups

196
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.960
of the ones are up, the
twos are up, the threes are up,

197
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.840
the basics are up, which is
our really period at the end of

198
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:54.559
practice where we really want to see
our younger players get better and improve and

199
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.200
guys that haven't had a lot of
reps in practice have what ends up being

200
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:03.679
about eight against one another offense versus
defense. Uh. Something that I took

201
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.159
from my time in New England that
not many other programs do, actually none

202
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.399
that I was a part of before
that at the end of practice you get

203
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.960
eight guys that didn't take a lot
of reps to go against another or excuse

204
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.600
me, eight plays of eleven on
eleven. So I think that our I

205
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.200
don't think our team would be surprised
at all on the depth chart what it

206
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.799
looks like. I would be shocked
if anyone came and knocked on my door

207
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.679
about that. But the key is
this, The depth chart is for this

208
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.639
game and this game only, and
depending on how people play, will determine

209
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.039
if the depth chart moves at certain
positions. And that's really just a starting

210
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.360
point. No, no, exactly. It's more of a story from the

211
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.879
media end than it was from the
team. And because Jay, you know

212
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.720
who you're at, you yes,
and players know. You know. A

213
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.440
friend of mine used to always say
players on the team know who should be

214
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.279
playing right, and they do and
they do. But you know, there

215
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:01.679
are a couple of prizes and I
think you know, justin flow right,

216
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.279
who we thought, you know,
five star guy out of Oregon, I

217
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.279
was going to commence set the world
on fire. And you know he he's

218
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.919
not. He's not number one on
the depth chart. He's behind Daniel.

219
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.559
I'm only the guy from Washington.
So both guys from great programs are transferred

220
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.600
in Arizona and they're there and they
play the same position. One of them

221
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.240
has to start, one of us
not going to start. But we'll see

222
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.440
what they both look like. I'm
sure we'll see both of them. And

223
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.519
he says, he says that a
lot they're gonna you know, you're gonna

224
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.919
see some guys. So I think
I think that's the thing about what we're

225
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.200
gonna see is that you know,
they've got they got plenty of guys.

226
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:37.360
We got plenty of guys who can
We're gonna be able to play. We're

227
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.720
gonna see different guys, and the
depth chart may change, you know,

228
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.080
from week to week. Uh,
you know, throughout the season. So

229
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.639
it's uh, I think that's a
good problem to have. And I don't

230
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.240
even call it a problem. It's
a good thing to have. So all

231
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.200
right, let's take our break.
When come back, Lamont and Huntley and

317
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:22.240
Ball with Steve Ribera and Jacob Salas
on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. Hey,

318
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.240
welcome back to I'm About here on
Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera.

319
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:33.440
He's Jaken Zose. Now I'm the
spone is my wife. You have

320
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.599
to separate two guys, your wifey
to put you in check. You don't

321
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.839
read your nose. I'm on your
I'm on your side. On the way,

322
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:47.880
I have I have proof for you. Hey, are you excited about

323
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.759
about the Saturday? I'm excited about
football all around? Man. I'm you

324
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.440
know, I'm naturally excited because Arizona
get to shoot it up again and play

325
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.640
some good football. But now the
game of football is is in front of

326
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:07.039
us again, and that's that what
makes my excitement. What what's been your

327
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.480
general impression so far? What you've
seen, you know, on the field,

328
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:14.519
practice wise, the guys, the
players they have. What's your general

329
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:19.920
impression maybe compared to you this time
last year or whatever. Well, the

330
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:26.920
main the major thing that I think
I see is guys are really coming together

331
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.839
as a complete unit on both sides
of the ball, particularly the offense.

332
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:36.519
I think, I think the offense
itself, they they they create trust with

333
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.640
one another up and down the line, as well as the quarterbacks and the

334
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.240
running backs. I mean, you
can see that trust being developed with these

335
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:48.680
young kids, and you know,
the confidence is there. I mean,

336
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.599
they got so much confidence in themselves
as far as being together an additional year

337
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:57.119
that I believe that's that's part of
their growth that I see just as well.

338
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.759
Most noticeful thing on defense is probably
just the size, you know,

339
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.240
just the size of the defense.
They have gotten bigger up front, which

340
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.640
is a plus for us, it's
a positive for us. But I still

341
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:17.200
think, I still think the defense
still have a couple of steps behind the

342
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:21.519
offense to develop themselves, and it's
gonna take I think it's gonna take a

343
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.680
couple of games before we can really
trust on that defense at this point.

344
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:27.319
So well, you may gole mention
that, Jake, when you were walking

345
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:32.240
to the to the press conference,
today that you run into or behind us

346
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:36.000
some guys that were massive, and
you could just tell it's different. They

347
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:41.319
just look different, yeah, you
know, just they you know, getting

348
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.759
a little more skinnier, not skinnier, but taking some of that that baby

349
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.160
feed off their body. Their their
bodies are changing in that fashion, you

350
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:53.200
know. And honestly they standing upright
because they have confidence. Now, you

351
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:57.319
know, they're not walking around with
their heads down or sagging because the fact

352
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:02.000
that they don't believe that they,
you know, can be compete, can

353
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:06.640
be competitive in each game that they're
about to play, you know. And

354
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.319
I think it's you know, it's
it's it is to get a little easier

355
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.319
to be more confident playing in a
you it should be you know, regardless

356
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:15.640
we lost a game two years or
not, but you still should have that

357
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:21.079
confidence going into this week and preparing
for this game. So you walk around

358
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:23.119
at campus, you should be walking
around the campus, you looking much taller

359
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:26.680
and stouter and stronger. But they
are, they do. They brought more

360
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.680
bigger bodies on the campus for sure. Let me ask you a question that

361
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.079
we talked about, JA and I
talked about. So your player, you're

362
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:36.559
a player, and you were a
player for a long time. Obviously,

363
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:41.559
did you get nervous before every game
no matter the opponent. No, I

364
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.920
didn't. I mean I think I
had a little bit different DNA in my

365
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.839
body in regards to how I prepare
for the game. I prepare for the

366
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:56.200
game doing practice. I prepare myself, you know, as far as being

367
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.720
ready for any situation that might might
come in front of me, as far

368
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:06.000
as offensively the things that I see, as far as you know, the

369
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:11.960
different fronts that I see offensively and
whatnot. And I prepare myself by you

370
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.640
know, practicing heart on the days
that we practice, as well as within

371
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:19.480
the classroom too with the film study. So I made it a little more

372
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:23.960
relaxing for myself personally. So when
the game came, I wanted to be

373
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:26.799
more looser and just go out there
and free and just play the game and

374
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.440
not after be all tensed up about
it. And you know, and I

375
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.519
think, you know, there's some
guys that have that personality that some guys

376
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.519
that don't. There are some guys
that you know, ready to run their

377
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.880
heads or through a brick wall because
that's what get them excited. I mean,

378
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.680
I, like I said, I
was just a different personality wise,

379
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:48.920
because I knew I was prepare throughout
the week and ready to play the game.

380
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.599
Yeah, I agree with you.
What about in the NFL, what

381
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.599
was the biggest game you were in
and were you were you queasy about that

382
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:02.799
one or nervous the first first game
I played in as far as suiting up

383
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:07.839
as the NFL player were playing Seattle
up in the up in the I think

384
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.519
it was called the Kingdom back in
those days. So it was playing them,

385
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.920
and in the backfield they had that
Kurt Warner in the backfield, and

386
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:21.640
you know that Reggie McKenzie was the
offensive god that I lined up. Again,

387
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:23.880
it was old school rich I mean, older Regie McKenzie, but it

388
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.200
was still Reggie McKinsey. You know. So as far as that end of

389
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.000
things, me lining up and I'm
seeing people like that that you know that

390
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:33.960
I saw on TV for years and
years and years, and all of a

391
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.680
sudden, I'm I'm lining up against
these you know, all pros and whatnot.

392
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.039
You know, that did put some
fear of me in regards to,

393
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.240
you know, step up and be
a part of this or not. And

394
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.079
you know, I still remember that
particular play. It was a trap and

395
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:53.240
I saw Reggie McKenzie he he he
blocked down and I can't right off his

396
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:56.960
butt and went in the backfield and
I, you know, I barely got

397
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:02.079
uh Kurt Warner's ankle. I'm talking
about running back. Kurt wanna guy that

398
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.720
ankle in the backfield and I made
attack in the backfield. And at that

399
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:07.160
point in the time, I said, well maybe I can play this game.

400
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:10.880
That's great. Well, well,
what about when you were in college

401
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:12.519
when you came here to Arizona.
You're gonna play in your first game in

402
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:18.319
Arizona. How did that? How
did that feel? Well, if I

403
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.160
can relate back, I think the
first game as a freshman, you know,

404
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.200
at that time, I wasn't you
know, starting on the feet on.

405
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.079
As far as a defensively, I
was. I was a special team

406
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.559
player as far as playing the game
on special teams and things like that.

407
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:37.920
And if I can you know,
kind of remember back that far. In

408
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.599
regards to being prepared again, I
you know, you know, I again,

409
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:48.440
I think personally I wasn't up you
know, particularly emotional or anything like

410
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.599
that. I think it's just my
personality Jay, in regards to you know,

411
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.119
if if if I do what I
was supposed to do. Even on

412
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.319
special teams, you got to prepare. If I did what I was supposed

413
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.519
to do throughout the week, then
the games to me became, you know,

414
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.599
just one to get the ball,
get tackled, just running around and

415
00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:10.160
make tackles. At that point,
yeah, I agree with you players.

416
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:12.640
Well, it's all we always say. The first couple of players you get

417
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:15.200
into the game. They talk about
guys who are in the super Bowl,

418
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.400
they say, you know, the
first play. Yeah, but then all

419
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.319
of a sudden, now it's now
it's just a game like every other game

420
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:23.960
that you ever played. Yeah,
yeah, it gets that point and and

421
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.160
but you know, but but I
still believe that there's some guys that that

422
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:34.160
that kind of you know, get
sick. I mean they physically get sick

423
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:40.119
in regards to approach of of getting
prepared for a game, you know,

424
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:42.079
even high school all the way up
to the professional level. I mean,

425
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:45.839
that's just some guys just physically gets
sick. And I just think that's just

426
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:51.480
a personality who they are. That's
a personality, a treat that they own

427
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:53.759
and they have and it just you
know, part of again, part of

428
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:56.880
their DNA. I mean, I
played with guys that you want. You

429
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.720
can't even talk to them, you
know, because they're they're about to turn

430
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.720
your head off before you know,
be go to get out on the field.

431
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:06.079
And I'm like, dude, I
mean, it's just a game.

432
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:08.599
Let's just play and leave that,
you know, for for the opponent and

433
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:12.160
stuff like that. But you know, but everybody's different. Yeah, no,

434
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:17.160
I hear, you know, I
hear you know. So so look,

435
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:19.400
we know, we know what happened
two years ago with an AU,

436
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:23.200
but this is it's still an AU. Arizona is supposed to beat these guys.

437
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.000
How's the approach to that? You
know, Jed talked about we're just

438
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.079
worrying about ourselves. But you know, when you know you've got an opponent

439
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:34.400
outmanned, how do you you know, understand that but not take any chances?

440
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:40.279
Right? Well, number one,
you know, if you got an

441
00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:44.359
inferior opponent, you should be in
the mindset that I'm gonna go out in

442
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:47.920
and dominate period. You know,
I mean, I'm I'm I'm gonna dominate

443
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:51.039
these guys. And you know,
now if I'm a starter, I mean

444
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.480
me personally, I'm going out there
to you know, dominate them, and

445
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.359
and and and try to get off
the field really and let some of the

446
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.200
reserves play at that point in time. But you know, you you you

447
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.079
can't take each a team by team
lackily or regardless who they are. But

448
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:07.440
if it's any you, I mean
in my head, I mean, you

449
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.440
should have the mindset that we're gonna
crush these guys who was scoring fifty points

450
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.519
and ain't gonna scoring nothing. I
mean, as far as the mindset that

451
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.920
that should be. You know,
in these catch they're they're thinking in regards

452
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:22.960
to the outcome of this game,
you know, I mean, you it's

453
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.279
there may be some kids it's taking
that lackly, but you know, I

454
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.039
think the coaching staff got to prepare
them in that fashion too that you can't

455
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:34.839
take anyone like uh likely in regards
to thinking that, you know, all

456
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:37.680
you got to do is get on
the field with your block aon and any

457
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.880
you gonna just drop fall down on
the ground, right, you know,

458
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.640
I think I think you know,
the approach hopefully this week in regards to

459
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:49.319
what we did two years ago,
it's gonna be quite different, you know,

460
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.559
And I hope that you know,
those are the things that they echoing

461
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.359
to this kid. Remember what we
did two years ago. I listened to

462
00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:00.720
some of these kids talk, the
ones that was not here, and you

463
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.720
know, I think that the thing
that I like the most is the pride

464
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.759
that they have right now, even
the guys that was not here, the

465
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.000
pride that they have in regards to
approach of this game. I know we

466
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:15.039
lost this game. I wasn't a
part of it, but we're Arizona,

467
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.000
so we we We're gonna be prepared
for this game. So let me ask

468
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.279
you. I know you're not the
spokesman for your brother, so I want

469
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.160
to see that initially. What's his
role? Is he back yet or what's

470
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.200
his situation? No, no,
he Ricker's role has has changed. He's

471
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.960
not on the field as far as
coaching the kids on the field at this

472
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:38.799
point. But but Ricky has a
very valuable role in regards to what he's

473
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:41.839
doing on a daily basis with the
kids. He's working with him off the

474
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:48.000
field, he's working with in the
classroom, he's working with recruits, he's

475
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:51.799
working with alumni, he's working with
boosters. I mean, he's taking on

476
00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:55.640
a lot of that role and a
lot of the heavy that that you know,

477
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:57.480
some of the other coaches you know, may not be able to handle

478
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:01.640
at this point in time. And
he's not just dealing with you know,

479
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:07.079
his defensive lineman, he's dealing with
every kid on the team now, you

480
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:10.279
know. So, so he's he's
you know, he's he's a guy that

481
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:15.559
they all can come to and he's
making sure the grades are what they're supposed

482
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.480
to be and things are in place
so they can be prepared to play on

483
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.519
Saturday. And he's embraced that role
because you know, number one, his

484
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:27.079
health is more important at this point
of his life. And you know,

485
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:31.000
he has a couple of blood classes
and lingering in his legs, so he

486
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:35.720
can't stay out there much in his
body weight can't be on him. So

487
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.480
so he got he gotta you know, take care of that and his health

488
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:40.680
is more important than they think at
this pointant right, you know. So

489
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:44.480
Okay, So now we have a
doing a keena and a guy like you

490
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:49.599
would appreciate doing. I think Jay
and I really think highly of doing his

491
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.839
style. He gets on you,
but he doesn't get on you like you

492
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:55.440
know, tough. He's he's he's
teaching all the time. He's an older

493
00:32:55.519 --> 00:33:00.279
dude, old school but not old
schools just your thoughts on him. Well,

494
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:04.079
I mean, he's he's he's a
brush of fresh air. I mean

495
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:09.519
defensively coming out there and and and
being able to bring the level of of

496
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:15.079
of energy and a love of motion
and passionate that he has so many years

497
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:20.079
bottled up and that he can give
to these kids. And it's and and

498
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:23.799
it's affectionists. I mean it it
goes from not only the players that he's

499
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:27.680
he's he's dealing with, you know, his position, but I think it

500
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:30.960
also goes to the other players also
as well as the coaching staff. You

501
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:36.119
know, So as far as his
level of what he's bringing, as far

502
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:38.759
as the passion and the energy,
you know, it's it's you know,

503
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:44.799
it's it's actually it's it's icing on
the cake compared to his coaching, you

504
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:49.200
know, because his coaching by itself
is resonated by itself, is is amazing

505
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.039
and the type of players he coached. But now you can bring that passion

506
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.559
along with it and and show that
you know, you love this game just

507
00:33:55.599 --> 00:34:00.440
as much as the kids playing the
game. I think those young kids out

508
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:02.359
there are gonna be running around just
is you know, try to outdo the

509
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:05.960
old man, so to speak,
but but I love it. I mean

510
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:07.679
I love it. And he's a
guy that me personally if I was a

511
00:34:07.679 --> 00:34:12.119
player, you know, I could
play for him any day. All right,

512
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.440
So we got a game Saturday.
What do you what do you hope

513
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:19.159
to see and do you sort of
have a score that you'd like to see

514
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:22.559
in your mind? Well, I
mean I score wise, I want to

515
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:27.079
see the offense, you know,
you know, put a couple of zeros

516
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:30.519
under one in front of it,
because you know, I think I think

517
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:35.719
offensively, but offensively, I shouldn't
say one hundred points offensively. What I

518
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:39.199
want to see offensively, I want
to see offensively where they actually do more

519
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:43.039
running than they do going to pass
the ball. I think this is the

520
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:46.679
opportunity for our offensive line, who
are young, to be able to do

521
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:51.360
some grinding and pushing on some bodies
and get some bodies down the field,

522
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.960
you know. And I think our
running backs is to me that that group

523
00:34:55.039 --> 00:35:00.960
of running backs and some of the
best running backs in the country, particularly

524
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.119
in the Pac twelve, you know, so let those kids get loose and

525
00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:06.440
run the ball. I mean,
I would like to see, you know,

526
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:09.320
where you got a series where he's
running eight nine times and picking up

527
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:13.599
you know, a few yards down
the field, get down there and punch

528
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:15.519
it in the in the in the
end zone. You know, I don't

529
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.760
think I wouldn't. I don't want
to see it a big pass it point

530
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:22.440
in time. I mean, we
got we know what we got out there

531
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:25.800
with those guys sitting on the edges
and stuff. So let's let's let's get

532
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:30.039
our offensive line and tack and get
them some more confidence in regards to pushing

533
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:35.000
bodies down the field and let the
running backs run. You know, one

534
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:37.880
or two of'em may hit a
big one and it could be one or

535
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.800
two play series. But do do
I think you've best to do it on

536
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:45.039
the ground versus in the air.
And then you know, let the defense

537
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:47.159
run around and create some havoc.
Hit some big get some big hits,

538
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:51.800
get a turn over here and there, and sit your butt on the sideline.

539
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.119

o'clock start start, Okay, so
when we leave, yeah, because it's

623
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:51.239
six o'clock their time, so Utah. Yeah, YEA believe that. I

624
00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:52.480
believe that's correct. Yeah, they
are. They are not our time there,

625
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.280
Yeah, they're they're an hour they're
an hour later than us. And

626
00:41:57.159 --> 00:42:00.440
game is uh yeah, oh that
game. Yeah, that came as at

627
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:02.920
five o'clock some time. So that'll
be going right, okay, right as

628
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:07.159
you finished. But Steve and we've
been talking all football. It's a big,

629
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:10.800
big baseball series starting this week.
I'm starting to do Dodgers in the

630
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:15.719
Braves. Uh really, the two
best the two best teams and uh and

631
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:19.119
in at least in the National League. Right now, it doesn't really matter

632
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:22.559
now, I mean I'm asking a
serious question. I think I think it

633
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:25.519
does in the sense of, you
know where you're at, yeah, you

634
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:30.000
know, you know. I mean
if the Brave it's a four game series,

635
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:31.760
that's the first thing. It's at
Dodger Stadium. It's a four game

636
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:37.920
series if one team when if it
goes three one, one or the other,

637
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:40.719
you carry that into the playoffs,
and you would expect that you're gonna

638
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:44.840
see these guys in the playoffs.
What are you telling me? No,

639
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:49.960
I'm just talk No, I'm just
telling you that that you know confidence maybe

640
00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:52.920
and two and two. If two
and two you go, okay, two

641
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:55.199
and two, we'll see you in
the playoffs, right, But if you

642
00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:58.239
go through one, you say,
ah, got it, they might be

643
00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:00.719
better than us or whatever. But
it's also a chance because this is late

644
00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:04.119
in the year, so it's a
chance to get to look at I mean,

645
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:07.920
the teams that they see this weekend
are pretty much the teams that they

646
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:10.599
think that they're probably gonna see in
another month down the road in the playoffs.

647
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:15.800
So I think it's an important series
from the standpoint of getting to know

648
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:19.199
what you're up against because you know, I mean, I still don't know

649
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:21.880
that the Dodgers can beat the Braves
in a in a in a series,

650
00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:24.199
you know, and if the Braves
come in and whip up on them four

651
00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:29.920
you know, all four games,
you know, you get you're you'll be

652
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:32.960
thinking about that when the time comes, especially if you split the games,

653
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:37.920
okay, or say one goes three, one one wins three, the other

654
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:39.840
wins one, but they're all really
close games, then you're okay with it.

655
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:43.960
That's what it's about. It's it's
not you know, I mean,

656
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:46.320
the Dodgers are so far ahead in
their division they're not gonna lose their division

657
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:51.079
orthing like that. By the way, what is it? What do you

658
00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:55.239
mean? Oh? I do already
forgotten what you talking about this five minutes

659
00:43:55.280 --> 00:44:04.360
ago, Steve, I don't know, man. You know what we both

660
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:07.639
need like a like a caddy or
something. Yeah, right, yeah,

675
00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:07.400
it was really interesting what Lamont said
that he just he just wants to see

676
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:12.039
Arizona just pound an Au, but
the running game. Just run the ball,

677
00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:17.400
run him over, push him around, you know, basically exert your

678
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:21.320
your will on him. I thought
that was a really straight, that's strange,

679
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:24.840
really interesting approach to what he would
like to see. Well, they

680
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:29.800
have the tools to do everything to
him. Why the receiver wise, running

681
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:34.639
wise, So we'll see if it
happens. You'll see what happens. It's

682
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:37.360
it's just odd, you know.
Two years ago, I just remember that

683
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.519
night and how bad Jed looked.
I'm thinking, oh man, this is

684
00:45:40.519 --> 00:45:45.320
not good. He looked like his
dog. Well he looked yeah, I

685
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:49.079
mean he looked sick. I look, we all looked sick though that night.

686
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:53.519
Yeah, you don't. I don't
know that that beating the hell out

687
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:59.159
of him will erase that or rub
it away. It'll certainly kind of put

688
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:02.360
it for they're back right, that
that loss will always stay. So let

689
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:06.239
me ask you. I think you
may have said this and I either forgot

690
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:09.880
or whatever. Worst loss that one
or the seventies to seventy seventy seven.

691
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:15.920
It's it's close, Steve, It's
really close. I mean, you can't

692
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:19.280
lose fan Au. No, you
can't at all. You can can't lose

693
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:23.920
Fanau. Seventy seven was awful.
And maybe it's maybe the seventy to seven

694
00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:30.559
because Sun Devil fans are such.
Both sides are such, Both sides are

695
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:32.800
such, you know, but they
are you know. I mean that that

696
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:37.440
will that that'll always be brought up
in a bad way. Any you fans.

697
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:39.760
I haven't heard from a single any
you fans said, oh, you

698
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:44.159
kick your ass. You don't know. They didn't put up a billboard that

699
00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:46.320
I think about it. I think
that the n A U one to me

700
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:52.639
was just just and I have no
dog in the fight right right, only

701
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:55.000
because only because it was any U
in smaller school. And and you kind

702
00:46:55.039 --> 00:47:00.280
of not that you wanted to see
the seventy seven because that just helps you

703
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:02.800
get rid of him, Yes,
and you needed to get rid of him.

704
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:06.920
That was just like the icing on
the key. Yeah. But on

705
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:10.000
the other hand, you know,
the lost hand au really what what came

706
00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:15.559
of that is an understanding of how
bad it got of how bad, uh

707
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:20.079
Kevin Sumlin left it. I almost
don't even blame Jeded Fish for what happened

708
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:22.960
then. Of course, of course
you know what happened there. We took

709
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:30.280
took three years under Kevin Sumlin to
do And so in that regard it it,

710
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:35.159
uh, it has a different feel
to it than the helplessness and just

711
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.519
how pissed off your at seventy to
seven and I get it a week later,

712
00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:43.400
what was it, a week you
know they fired him and it was

713
00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:46.000
all okay, let's let's go to
the flip the page and go to the

714
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:50.760
next chapter. But I still think
that, uh, you know, just

715
00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:53.119
the rivalry. Because of the rivalry, it makes that it makes that a

716
00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:57.880
little a little tough. Dave didn't
take a week. I think it was

717
00:47:57.880 --> 00:48:00.000
the next day, because the next
there was a game. There was a

718
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:04.559
basketball game the next day. I
think he just sent down a memo he's

719
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:07.679
done. We found a way.
I think it was a game. It

720
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:08.920
was a basketball game next day,
and he says, we're paying him,

721
00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:12.679
and don't worry about it. We're
paying him. He's gone, he's out

722
00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:15.280
of here. Yeah. In short
words, I mean that was kind of

723
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:17.079
the snobs. Yeah, okay,
and I moved on. I think he's

724
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:21.920
done. Great, he's got a
great situation. Good for Hunley that he's

725
00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:24.039
taking care of himself. Rickie.
Now, yeah, yeah, I didn't

726
00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:25.760
realize, you know, I know
I knew he had you know, he

727
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:29.960
had the knee replacement and that was
the issue. But he's you know,

728
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:34.000
you can have it. You can
have other underlying issues when you have something.

729
00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:37.840
Sure. Okay, so yeah,
but you know, all the best,

730
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:39.119
Ricky. And look, you know, if he can, if he

731
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:43.400
if he can still contribute, which
is what he wants, yea, then

732
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:45.920
then then great, you know he
gets a chance to do that. Yeah,

733
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:46.400
because he has a great voice.
You know, he was at the

734
00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:50.760
scrimmage the other night and he was
getting on them on the sidelines or whatever.

735
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:52.400
He was just kind of he's a
presence. Yeah, he's still he's

736
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.280
a present. He still is and
then there's those big posters of him and

737
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:59.800
stuff like that. So he's he's
around and you know, still still a

738
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:01.920
guy who's you know, can make
a difference in the program and is.

739
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.480
So you know, again, all
the best to Ricky with his with his

740
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:10.199
health and uh and uh, lamont
appreciate the time. That was fun,

741
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:15.079
right, yeah, yeah for you, not for me. No, I

742
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:17.920

745
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:30.559
tomorrow. We still might get wardrobe

746
00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:32.599
time that we'd get us in a
slot. Uh. And you're gonna have

747
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:37.360
your tailgate on Saturday, right beginning
about three. Yes, if you're wrong,

748
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:39.599
you know, if you're walking around
the tailgate and uh, you see

749
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:45.760
a bunch of old, gray haired, gray haired dudes sitting on nine on

750
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:49.360
Lucky wish bone. Uh, we'll
be there. We usually try and get

751
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:52.119
it and get into that last robe
by the Jefferson Gym so we can have

752
00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:57.000
some shade and stuff. But you
know, look look around and stop by

753
00:49:57.000 --> 00:49:59.079
and say, hi, you need
to take that thing, the thing we

754
00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:00.239
have on the wall, take the
poster with me. We did it.

755
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.360
We did it well. We had
a couple of times. Okay. The

756
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:05.679
problem is that then I rolled it
up and put in my garage and I

757
00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:09.760
nearly lost it. Who's gonna's gonna
steal that? Don't want two old dudes

758
00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:14.840
and the we're a couple of good
looking old guys. What was the last

759
00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:22.800
time you check your cataracts? I
think we looked good at that picture year

760
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:25.199
anniversary, at three anniversary of being
here. Yeah, yeah, we've been

761
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:28.920
about four years together. Oh yeah, No, it's been fun. Don't

762
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:32.840
get don't get fooled by the repost
of our of our social media from that

763
00:50:32.920 --> 00:50:37.360
day, because when we started here, we only had an hour, and

764
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:40.480
then we got that we got the
second hour. Thanks to Steve evern Harden

765
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:45.719
and Nick Brunson, famously known as
meat Ball, who have taken care of

766
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:49.639
us over here. We've had a
great time. You see that. You

767
00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:52.800
see that David has gone to three
hours. Now, David Kelly's gone to

768
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:55.840
three hours. Yeah, I don't, man, I don't know that we

769
00:50:55.840 --> 00:51:00.599
were having that's that becomes that becomes
worse. Yeah, that becomes work.

770
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:05.760
I wouldn't want three hours. And
now you know what, I don't think.

771
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:09.360
I don't think there listeners want three
hours from us. No. Well,

772
00:51:09.559 --> 00:51:13.840
it's good though, because the podcast
is being listened to a lot.

773
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:15.239
Because if you can't listen to it
as your way on your way home,

774
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:19.960
we're not around listen to We put
it up. I know I was late

775
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:23.800
with it. I think two nights
ago. I got home, I got

776
00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:28.039
busy to him, just completely forgot
about eleven o'clock at that hole. Really

777
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:30.239
crap. I forgot to put it
up. But I told yeah, because

778
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:35.079
you know who it was asking you
from. I try to get the way

779
00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:38.079
this works if it gets recorded.
I got to download it. I get

780
00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:42.559
I leave here, I'm about half
an hour from home, so I get

781
00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:45.639
by the time I get home.
Uh, it takes me. It takes

782
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:47.000
me like five minutes to get it
up. But it just takes some time

783
00:51:47.039 --> 00:51:52.440
to pull it all together. So
it's usually up by six o'clock, maybe

784
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:54.000
six o'clock. I've got to stop
of the grocery store, which I have

785
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:58.920
to you tonight. It'll be a
little later, but definitely by six thirty

786
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:01.679
every night it's up, and then
sometime during the evening, once it's rendered

787
00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:06.360
and stuff like that, I'll get
it up on our Facebook page and our

788
00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:08.320
Twitter Twitter. So I got I
ran into somebody at the after the press

789
00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:12.320
commerce. I went down to get
her credentials and they ran into someone.

790
00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:14.639
You're going to the game tonight or
to our Friday, And I'm thinking,

791
00:52:14.679 --> 00:52:16.800
what game is? Just kind of
a guy who just met Uh, he's

792
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:22.320
an assistant coach at Tucson High.
Oh, they faced Marana on Friday.

793
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:24.360
Could be a good game and they
are. He saw what Tucson didn't do

794
00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:29.519
some of this. I think we
created a muster. Boddy say that we're

795
00:52:29.519 --> 00:52:31.960
gonna that, we're gonna go.
Yeah we will. Yeah, we'll get

796
00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:35.199
to some game because we talked to
who's the coach, the new coach,

797
00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:38.599
Zach Zach, Zach Zach something.
Yeah. But he did he was great,

798
00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:42.920
he was They won, they put
sixty points on somebody left. Yeah,

799
00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:45.440
right, And I thought he says
they're pretty good. That's pretty damn

800
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:46.800
good for you know, to come
out of the box or something like that.

801
00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:50.760
So we might have to do an
appearance or two or at the high

802
00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:52.840
school levels. Well that that should
be another big game that Tucson and Maranna.

803
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:55.360
I'm guessing that game to the Tucson. Hi, yeah it is.

804
00:52:55.440 --> 00:53:00.239
I think Brandon's field is is fixed
up yet. But but no, I

805
00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:02.280
mean, look, there's the there
there's some fun. You know. Look,

806
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:06.239
I support high school footfroll. We
try to. I know, maybe

807
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:07.079
we don't get to as many games
as we should, but you know what,

808
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:09.639
you get them on the show.
We learn to talk about what's going

809
00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:13.119
on. You know what we do
though, this would be our taste test.

810
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:15.639
We can eat, we can eat
the we can eat the food and

811
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:19.519
the tailgates and kind of talk about
it. We were to stop, stop,

00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:21.920
