So, you know, we we had 13 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:02.520 a chance to get Jed Fish for an interview. We did it a little 14 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.760 earlier in the day, so we recorded it, so you'll you'll hear that 15 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.959 coming up. Uh. You know, we we had to fit into his 16 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.400 schedule, so we did so we'll have him for about fifteen minutes, and 17 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.200 uh, we asked some questions, you know, and I think we got 18 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.439 some uh some good stuff for everybody. So we hope you'll stick around. 19 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.840 We're gonna be playing that here after the first break, but just some you 20 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.560 know time for us, right, we don't you know, we go to 21 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.000 these press conferences, we get maybe a question in, right, so we 22 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.760 we got it for And these questions aren't how can I say game game week 23 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.359 right? Questions? They're overall big pictures. Right. We're not asking him 24 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.840 how you know what's Oregon State look like? Right? Right? You know, 25 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:45.159 we're just talking about some issues that you know, yeahs they're pertinent to 26 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.799 we're sort of a a at a midpoint of the season, and just get 27 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.640 some of his thoughts on some things that we see his fans, right, 28 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:53.920 you see his fans and I see us kind of we talk about it on 29 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.760 the show about him, right. I asked him about asked you guys about 30 00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.920 how good of a coach he is? Right? I asked him that, 31 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.159 yeah, how hold, how good of the coach are you? He didn't 32 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.280 yell at me, so it was good. It was good, and we 33 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.199 did that. We did ask him. We we didn't ask him who's starting 34 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:14.599 on on state. But we did ask him a question about how he's going 35 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.680 about it, And I want to say, I thought you asked it perfectly 36 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.879 in connection to what's going on. You kind of didn't dance around it, 37 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.599 but you asked him in in in a way and you told him in a 38 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.879 way that he could give us a name. Yeah, right, you know, 39 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.439 because he'll say no, I don't know, Yeah, but no, 40 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:31.560 you asked it, you know, in a way that he could answer the 41 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.000 question. So you we'll get we'll get a little more insight into what's going 42 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.919 through his mind as he deals with these two quarterbacks who frankly, they they 43 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.159 they've won with both. And now, yeah, he's got to pick one 44 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.199 because I don't I don't think there's any chance he's going to any kind of 45 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.800 a two quarterback system. No, they're too similar. No, exactly exactly 46 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.759 right, exactly, you know that they're similar guys. So, uh, 47 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.479 you know, he's gonna he's gonna pick one over the other. And he 48 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.280 talks a little bit about how he's going about that. So we hope stick 49 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.919 around and listen to that. Yeah, that's just in ten minutes or so, 50 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.520 about about fifteen minutes for surettes then at the second hour we have we 51 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:15.520 have Adam Lazarus from Arizona assists one of the collectives helping this one is this 52 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.360 one is specific basketball. They've got alf A golf tournament coming up where you 53 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.439 can get out there and mingle with the players and the coaches and whatnot and 54 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:29.560 help them raise some money for the collective to provide some opportunities for players. 55 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:35.080 You notice I didn't say to pay the players, said to provide opportunities for 56 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.120 the players. But you know there's some we'll ask him, you know, 57 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.719 I will see if he's paying attention to what's going on over in Congress. 58 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:46.080 There was another ascended hearing on NIL this week. From the sounds of it, 59 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.319 it was kind of ridiculous. They were asking really dumb things. It 60 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:55.000 sounds like, you know what one one person wanted to ask, Well, 61 00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.840 there's some kids at Harvard who are supportive of the Palace Indians, and so 62 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.280 you know, what do you what do you guys think about that? I'm 63 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.039 like, what the hell does that have to do with N I L right, 64 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:12.000 they're trying to figure out a way to not I don't know, do 65 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.479 what right to find their angle and work they want to ask about, yeah, 66 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.120 question and then and then there was there was a h you know, 67 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:23.120 there were some issues about transgender athletes. Again, what the hell does that 68 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.360 have to is like, if you're going to support transgender athletes, we're not 69 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.120 gonna pass any law that lets you do this or whatever. And then there's 70 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.040 just a lot of thought that what the hell are they doing even looking at 71 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:40.439 this? Right? So anyways, so we'll see if Adam Lazarus has any 72 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:46.199 thoughts on that. Okay, okay, there's that. Well, you know 73 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.120 what, it's one of those things, Steve, that it's out there and 74 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:54.639 somehow, sometimes somewhere it's going to have an effect on everything, and the 75 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.000 wrong people are looking at. Of course, of course a bunch of people 76 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.959 have no idea. Well in college that athletic Welcome to America. We got 77 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.680 to touch that. We gotta touch that. It's not good going too well. 78 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.480 It reminds me of the I think it was the mayor of Baltimore who 79 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:15.319 called Rafael Paul Merrow, you know, like Ronnie Palmieri or oh yeah you 80 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.279 know now he misremembered. Yeah, it's like if you have not if you 81 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:23.319 have no idea, about sports. Yeah, you could go try and be 82 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.199 knowledgeable, but don't try and speak to it when you don't know squatt. 83 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.439 Nothing's wrong with being honest about your perspective and like being willing to learn something. 84 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.240 That's also pretty well. You see you see a lot on TV news 85 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.319 and no disrespect, but the anchors when they're talking about sports, or or 86 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:44.480 some of them who don't you know pronounce or or Canada. Oh you're on 87 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.160 the load. Yeah, you know because you have so many you know, 88 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.399 news anchors who are having to do sports. No question, that a good 89 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:56.480 point. Just just read read what somebody wrote for you, leave it right 90 00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.680 right, But you sound just pretty annoying. Yeah, I look forward to 91 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.160 hearing what he has to say about that. So I guess I'm a little 92 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.040 deep at the start. This is the Diamondbacks game starting now? Oh yeah 93 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.639 it's on or is it started? Two or three? Know it's on, 94 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:15.240 it was started, Okay, Okay, I don't know what Okay, you 95 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:16.920 ate it so no, okay, we'll keep you updated with that. But 96 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.360 you know what we're missing something I wanted to attend today, which is sad 97 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.240 there was a basketball media day because on basketball media Day it's being held on 98 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.160 the campus. I'm here for you. I'm here for my people on the 99 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.560 radio. It's funny like j you cried today for was not gonna show up. 100 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.680 Well, yeah, Steve, I didn't want to be here all by 101 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:38.519 my fellow. Well you no, So to explain, explain. It starts 102 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.319 on three thirty. I believe I'm looking up. I'm looking up the time 103 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.519 right now. I believe it. I believe it's at three thirty. They're 104 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.959 gonna they're gonna let the players. I'm gonna let the players, let the 105 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:53.720 media watch some of the practice. They're gonna talk to you. They're gonna 106 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.800 get Tommy Lloyd going doing a stand up. So not not at uh you 107 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.560 know, not in the press room. You can record and stuff like that. 108 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:04.959 Here it is, It says members of the media are asked to arrive 109 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:10.160 at three thirty. You can shoot some practice and stuff like that, and 110 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.839 then as soon as practice is over, there'll be a stand up media availability 111 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.600 with Tommy Lloyd on the court. And then when that's going, that'll go 112 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:21.959 for about ten minutes or so, and then after that you can re interview 113 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:27.439 players. Well that's all during our show. So what we're gonna do is 114 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.279 It says approximately four to ten is when coach Lloyd will be available. If 115 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:36.199 they get that up on YouTube fast enough for us to be able to pull 116 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.279 it off of there. We'll try and place some of it or all of 117 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:46.600 it in the last segment of the day, but don't hold us to that. 118 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.839 We're doing the best we can on that. It was either go to 119 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.759 this what I think is a very brief media day. It's or not have 120 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:59.959 a show, because you used to have a long time, even in Shawn's 121 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.639 time, it was longer. Outside of maybe the you'll get half an hour 122 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.959 with sure, with the coach, everybody get to ask their questions. Then 123 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.759 you get out and get you know, get players players and that's the perfect 124 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:11.120 time to get your own story with the players. Yeah, because you get 125 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.519 some one on one gets it. It's several hours affair for football, right, 126 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.759 you know, we get Jeed Fish, he comes in and we get 127 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.040 about a half hour with him. Then we get time with the coordinators, 128 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.519 time with all the assistant coaches, time with some players. It takes a 129 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.800 long time to go through that. You get a lot of stuff, maybe 130 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.120 too much stuff, but anyways, so we'll uh, you know, we'll 131 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.600 see if we can get that, get that put together in time to play 132 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.159 some of that at the end of the show. But hey, it's it 133 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.559 means basketball starting man starts tomorrow, Steve. We've got uh, we've got 134 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.960 the exhibition game with Lewis and clarka tomorrow at seven o'clock. Yeah, okay, 135 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.759 you're gonna be there. Oh yeah, yeah, because this is yeah, 136 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.879 this is what i'd like to do. Yeah, I'm not too keen 137 00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.240 on the exhibition games, but looking forward to this year, it's gonna be 138 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.240 fun. I mean, we'll see some play play a lot of players, 139 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.919 right, We'll see how he goes with the with the transition or no transition, 140 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.080 but the roster and how much he goes or how far he goes. 141 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.799 Will you make anything of who are the first players on the court? No, 142 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.600 because I never do. I never do, and and and sometimes he 143 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.360 uh, you know, he uses guys in different ways. And this is 144 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.480 a team where they are kind of interchangeable parts. They really are to me, 145 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.919 you know, in the back court, in the front court, he's 146 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.399 got seven foot three three or four seven footers already all capable, right, 147 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.000 right, I was what you surprised by the way A Ballo was named like 148 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.639 the top player in the conference. Do you think that he is going to 149 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.600 be that player of the year kind of guy. I think there's a sense 150 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.519 that he is going to be that it's is by default or because he's going 151 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:52.559 to be that good. I so you understand why. Well, here's the 152 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.600 thing. You know, they weren't ready to put Kylon Boswell there because he 153 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.000 was never eve gonna start with started something. He wasn't you know, he 154 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:07.399 wasn't a starter much last year. Pally Larson isn't that guy. So you 155 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.080 gotta have somebody from Arizona, you know, first team and one of the 156 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:16.120 top players in the league. He's gonna average a double bubble this year, 157 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.039 right, So I mean, or at least like the ball, there's only 158 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.320 one ball, and there's a lot of players that can score. That's fair, 159 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.440 But you couldn't go ninety eighteen. That's what I'm not saying. Yeah, 160 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.960 fifty, but to your point, yes, but I think there's you 161 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.960 know, too many, too many players for one ball. I just I 162 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.200 just think last year in college basketball, we saw like by the end a 163 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.000 lot of their promotion was geared around the big men. Oh yeah, I 164 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.799 feel like so I guess to answer your question, I think it's a little 165 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.080 bit of both.

He's like, Okay, you're a geek. It's an 187 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.639 endearing term. Good for you? Yeah, for us? Needs you care 188 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:31.159 about do you take? You take the recruiting stuff seriously in terms of okay, 189 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.480 God, we got this guy. The future is gonna be great. 190 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.840 You can't because you're talking about the sixteen. I like you even more. 191 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.799 It's a great it's a great way to tell the tone of a program and 192 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.960 the direction of a program. Well, I like it. We're output recruiting 193 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.799 and what I kind of don't like, although I like he's gotta he sounds 194 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.879 well, you wouldn't have a radio show if you both agreed. No, 195 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.799 no, no sounds smarter. But this is about you. No, no, 196 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.200 I agree with you. I agree that because we I hated recruiting and 197 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.120 chasing down the kidslah blah blah. I think you did. You did too, 198 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.879 But no, for that reason what you said, it does gauge where 199 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.600 the program is and horror's going. Right Other than that, because you don't 200 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.480 know what you're getting. It's really about looking at who you're getting beat by 201 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.080 and who you're beating out for these players and Carter Bryant, five star guy 202 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.759 we got, We beat out Duke and that's that's I mean, just off 203 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.559 names, that's a big deal. I mean, kids are looking at Arizona 204 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.799 like, oh I can win there, sure, But when you're when like 205 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.519 some Lendon and sometimes you know, you get the three star guys, Oh 206 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.679 they beat football ways you got to be or San Diego State, stuff like 207 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.720 that. You can tell a lot of a lot from that, right. 208 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.320 No, No, Like you're answer very sensible, pragmatic. What the hell 209 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.440 you're doing in this business? Yeah? And how did you get into this 210 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.000 room? Is what I want to know. Dang it, Steve, don't 211 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.080 go on and get guys smarter than us. Yeah, we need our jobs. 212 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.960 Yeah, you know, normally you like to surround yourself around guys around, 213 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.840 people who are smarter than you make you look better. He's making us 214 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.799 look bad. Yeah, no, no, he'll remember the names you forget. 215 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.879 Yeah, you got amut button over there in I do.

We've seen it where, 333 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:36.119 you know, flipped over where you give the guys a bunch of days off 334 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:38.240 and then come back and just go for the next game. What was your 335 00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:42.279 what's your thinking on how you guys are going about the off week? Yeah, 336 00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.359 what we did was we treated it like a normal week. The first 337 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:51.400 uh, let's call it four days up through today, but we just worked 338 00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:56.880 backwards. We made Monday Thursday, we made Tuesday Wednesday, we made Wednesday 339 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.839 Tuesday, and then today would be a left day for us. So we'll 340 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:04.119 lift and then we'll give the guys Friday Saturday off, let the coaches go 341 00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:08.519 recruit and then spend a family day on Saturday, and then Sunday we'll start 342 00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:12.319 up again with what we would call it normal Tuesday, which is our more 343 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:17.839 physical practices. There's no right or wrong reason, but we talked about this 344 00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:21.240 this week Jay and I. So you're on a roll here, and as 345 00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:26.480 Jay says, momentum, would you have rather played because you were playing so 346 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.759 well, or does the time off come at a good time. Yeah, 347 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.599 I don't really think much either way. We don't get to define that. 348 00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:41.000 So for us, our guys are there's always a great opportunity during a bye 349 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.359 week to get better. So and we're certainly not in a place where we 350 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:45.920 can't. We don't need to get better. We need to get better in 351 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:52.079 so many phases. So we're we had a good three days of practices, 352 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.119 and I think it's also a great time of year, right after the seventh 353 00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.119 game to be able to get your legs back, and we'll wind up having 354 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.359 Friday, Saturday, next Monday off, so our guys will have a good 355 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.839 three out of four days off for their legs before we go back ahead it 356 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.920 Yeah, Okay, During the game, the TV camera pan to you, 357 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.720 and they do it often obviously, and I'm thinking, and you guys were 358 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.359 up you know, two or three touchdowns I can't remember, And I'm thinking, 359 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:25.000 ched must be thinking we've got something here. What you must think that 360 00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:29.200 at some point in the last three weeks that you have something. Yeah, 361 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.440 I mean, I think while you watch the game going and you see the 362 00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:37.039 evolution of our team, and you see the progress that our team has made 363 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.319 over the course of the two and a half years that we as a staff 364 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.680 have been here. We're beginning to see our guys believe more. And the 365 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.240 more you believe, the more confident you are, The more confident you are, 366 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:53.119 the faster you play. And I think we're beginning to see our defense 367 00:24:53.200 --> 00:25:00.400 fly around and play super fast. And our offense has been moving ball on 368 00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:04.680 a pretty good clip the last nineteen games or so, and we're beginning to 369 00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:10.319 see that more consistently every week. So, you know, we've been saying 370 00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:12.759 the last few days that it seems like there's really two storylines that have kind 371 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:18.000 of developed, you know, over your team. One obviously the quarterback situation, 372 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.680 and then the leap that your defense has made. You made you made 373 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:23.480 a point at your last press conference to talk about how, you know, 374 00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:27.400 the plan was, let's get the offense going, get get that, you 375 00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:33.279 know, get that works out and and make some progress there, and then 376 00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:36.240 let's take care of the defense, hoping that you make the same kind of 377 00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:40.519 leap that you did offensively last year. Do you at this point of the 378 00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:45.559 season do you feel that leap has been made? Are you where you hoped 379 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.559 you would be. Well, I mean, we still got five more games 380 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:53.279 to play. I would say our defense has taken the type of leap we 381 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:56.799 were hoping they would make, and our offense. You know, the biggest 382 00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:02.559 challenge was can you sustain being in top twenty five offense two years in a 383 00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:07.119 row, And so far we've been able to do that, and our defense 384 00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:11.640 has been continuing to improve and has made a huge leap. Statistically, the 385 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:17.000 leap has been probably one of the bigger leaps you could ever make. So 386 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:18.400 now we've got to play that way over the next five games. We got 387 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:21.240 to see how good we can be. We got to see if we can 388 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:25.519 earn a spot for another game after that. And but I'm very proud of 389 00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:30.119 the way our defensive staff has put together the defense and the plan to be 390 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.880 able to get to the highest level. Okay, so the other storyline, 391 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.880 obviously the quarterback situation. We're not gonna ask you who you know, where 392 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.200 you are with, you know, deciding who's going to start next game, 393 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.880 but you're going through some sort of a process, you know, to to 394 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.079 determine, you know, what's the best thing to do. Can you tell 395 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.319 us any little anything about you know, what are the decision points for you? 396 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:57.400 Where what's the process for you to figure out your quarterback situation going into 397 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:03.599 Oregon State. Yeah, well, there's really there's really two questions that need 398 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.680 to be answered. Number the first question is is it even a competition or 399 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.559 is one guy still hurting the other guy? Not? So? If I 400 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.880 feel as if Jaden is not one hundred percent, then there's really not going 401 00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:22.039 to be a hard decision. If I felt as if both guys could be 402 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.039 at the play at their highest level, then the decision would have to be 403 00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.759 made on who gives us the best chance to win each week, and then 404 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:37.079 that will be the second part of the discussion. But right now it's really 405 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.599 I don't even have to get the part two and until I feel that I 406 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.480 can get the best Jaden to Laura possible, which would be one that has 407 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.039 great speed, one that has an ability to be elusive in the pocket, 408 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:53.680 one that has an ability to throw on the run and be able to push 409 00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:57.079 off of his ankle. Yeah, no question. One of the things in 410 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:02.799 sports is that people say that the team takes on the personality of the coach. 411 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.559 I'm not sure if that happens in football would you say that it does 412 00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:10.440 one and two? If so, what does this team have in terms of 413 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:14.960 its personality? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't know 414 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.359 if that's what that I've heard that saying. I think what our team does 415 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:23.039 is they take on the principles of our program, which is number one, 416 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.680 we're gonna be professional and everything we do. So we're gonna come to work 417 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:33.240 every day with a mindset of getting better, treating people right, improving and 418 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.799 doing things right on and off the field. And you know, if they 419 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.559 take on the professional mentality, then yeah, they're taking on our personality. 420 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:47.920 The second one is resilience. We feel like we need to be resilient. 421 00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:51.839 We need we feel that we have to have incredible practices. We don't have 422 00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.440 to worry about the score. The score will take care of itself. But 423 00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:57.519 regardless of what's happening, regardless of what people are saying, we're just gonna 424 00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:02.640 go to work every day and work extremely hard at it. And you know, 425 00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:04.880 I think that if we could take on those two personality traits and we're 426 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:07.200 in a good spot. Yeah. No, and you've done well to this 427 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.920 point. We had liv on a couple of days ago and Ted Robinson. 428 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.680 I asked lev this question. We weren't too sure about Jeff Fish in his 429 00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:21.480 first year as a coach, but we've we've seen a lot of a lot 430 00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:25.160 of success here in the last two two and a half years. How do 431 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:29.119 you think you've done and how much how much of a better coach are you 432 00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:32.319 now that you have been a head coach for two and a half years. 433 00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.519 Yeah, I mean, I think we always get get better with experience. 434 00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.359 I think we always get better as the years ago. We also get better 435 00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:44.920 with better players. We said that to that, you know, I mean, 436 00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:49.000 I don't I would say that everybody's gotten better. Our coaches have gotten 437 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.599 better, our staff has gotten better. Who we have surrounded us are better, 438 00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:59.519 the resources that we've parted to the program is better, and it's a 439 00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:02.640 complete different team than we had in twenty twenty one. Yeah. In twenty 440 00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:07.359 twenty one, we were inheriting a program and a team that wasn't nearly what 441 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.839 we have today. So we need to make sure, you know, we 442 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.400 I feel like I'm better, I feel like they're better, and in turn, 443 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.319 if we could continue to improve or even be better next year, Yeah, 444 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.799 something that's been and I don't know if you said this or we've just 445 00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:27.519 assumed this, But you know, there's this feeling that as you were headed 446 00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:33.640 towards becoming a head coach, you know, you've been around so many places 447 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.920 that you had a grand plan for what you were going to do and how 448 00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.440 you were going to execute being a head coach and the way you were going 449 00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.799 to go about it. How close are you to how you envisioned you would 450 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:51.279 be or how you envisioned you would run your program when you got one. 451 00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.319 Yeah, I mean the beautiful part of being a college head coach is that 452 00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:02.920 it is your program. So you don't have a president and a general manager 453 00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:06.880 of your football team, and you have the ability to make the decisions that 454 00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:10.480 are best for your program. And so I would stay very close to how 455 00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:15.519 I imagined it in terms of building it the way we wanted to build it. 456 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.240 Now, that takes a lot of patience because you have to be we 457 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:23.680 had to be able to say we understand that the first year is really year 458 00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:29.720 zero. We didn't have a recruiting class. We really had no opportunities to 459 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:33.119 bring people in in the portal, and the guys we did bring in, 460 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.359 you know, they weren't going to change the game. And then the second 461 00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:40.559 year was going to be our first year, and you've got to explain that 462 00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:42.519 to people that are decision makers, and you got to explain that to people 463 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:49.480 that are outside watching you, and that's always challenging. But I think in 464 00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:53.440 that second year, guys saw how the team improved. You had to get 465 00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:57.279 guys like Jade DeLaura and Jacob Cowing to take a risk and say they're going 466 00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:00.279 to join a one to eleven team as a trance. And you got to 467 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:06.960 get all those sophomores or current sophomores that we're seniors in high school to say 468 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:08.400 we're going to go commit to a one and eleven team, a one in 469 00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:15.359 twenty three team really and want to turn it around. So that was our 470 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:20.480 plan, and so far we're much improved, but we got five games left 471 00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.960 and we got to figure out how to win some of these. Yeah, 472 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:27.200 But how much a part of that plan, though, was all the other 473 00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:30.000 things you do. You're on the community, you're promoting the program. You 474 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:35.480 start every press conference by saying we need to sell this many tickets. You 475 00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:38.759 know, the things that you've done to get you know, former players into 476 00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:43.839 the program. All those other pieces of it that are also part of what 477 00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:49.400 you're doing. Was that also part of your so called plan? Well, 478 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.160 I think it depends where you take the job at. You know, if 479 00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:58.440 you take a job at Florida, which is my alma mater, you know, 480 00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:01.640 you wouldn't be sitting there and you know, needing to try to sell 481 00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:07.400 the place out. It's been sold out for whatever twenty years. You don't 482 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:13.079 need to be You're not necessarily making the same plea to be able to get 483 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:17.480 to that type of standard. On the same token, I feel like that's 484 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:21.960 what college football is all about. So when I envisioned, what was it 485 00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:24.279 going to look like and what did I want? I wanted to sold out 486 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:29.200 crowd. I wanted an incredible student section. I wanted to DJ right there 487 00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:31.240 in the middle of it. I wanted to party atmosphere for the kids so 488 00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:37.319 the kids stayed for the game. And I wanted our all of our fans 489 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.319 to pour into the stadium and make it electric. So I start to you 490 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:45.480 know, that's kind of how I envisioned the program. We you know, 491 00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:49.240 we needed to get it there. I envisioned the college football program where the 492 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:53.319 alumni were a major part of supporting the guys. So we had to get 493 00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:57.759 there for that as well, and we're building that up. We have our 494 00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:00.519 most amount of alumni ever coming to the homecoming game in a couple of weeks, 495 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:02.839 and we got to find a way, you know, we got to 496 00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.079 find a way to sell this place out the final three weeks because we got 497 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:12.000 three really really important games. So with that, how has the public, 498 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:15.360 the locals embraced you, because they're talking really highly of you, now, 499 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:20.000 yeah, I mean they've been amazing.

I'm Steve, you're Jay got Kevin with us today? 590 00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:45.639 That uh what twelvens sim Simmons, Ye, Jay went long? How dare 591 00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:50.320 him all this good stuff? I already got a couple of texts? Yeah, 592 00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:52.199 Well, you know, well let's you know, let's talk about that 593 00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.480 a little bit because I think, uh, you know, what he didn't 594 00:40:55.599 --> 00:41:01.000 say is kind of a big deal. What didn't you say? He didn't 595 00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:05.840 say was that Jade DeLaura gets his job back as soon as he's healthy. 596 00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:09.880 He said that you're one of those well again again to me. He said 597 00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:15.360 that the court the starting quarterback will be the quarterback gives them the best chance 598 00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:19.440 to win, if you recall, you know, right after and this is 599 00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:22.480 what people were losing their minds about, was there saying that Jaden gets his 600 00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:27.280 job back as soon as he's healthy. And and he and he's kind of, 601 00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.639 you know, maybe realize that he's gotta you know, he's got to 602 00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:34.599 look at you know, he's got to look at the situation he's got in 603 00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:37.039 front of him, you know, because he said that at a time where 604 00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:40.559 he didn't know what he had with Jade with U. Now he knows. 605 00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:45.559 So now you gotta go And and what everybody that's only I think anybody fans 606 00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:50.119 are asking play the guy that gives you the best chance to win. Well, 607 00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:53.360 it don't just give the lord the job back just because he's healthy. 608 00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:55.920 Right, No, no, No, you're exactly right. And that's what 609 00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:59.480 I'm saying that, that's what I mean. Over the last three weeks, 610 00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:02.400 and this team has look pretty darn good, even in defeat. Uh and 611 00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:07.719 who's been behind the consenter? No, And and you know, and and 612 00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:08.400 he's right, I mean, he's right. He didn't even have to make 613 00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:15.159 a decision until the Laura is healthy. Well, you know, he's still 614 00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:19.159 limpy. You know people you know, people who are at the game. 615 00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:24.159 And I didn't see on TV. Sure he said he's still limpy, you 616 00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:29.920 know, he's not he's not even walking you know without you know, he 617 00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:34.239 still looks he's a junior Richard Jr. He's got another year of Algibilla. 618 00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:37.239 Okay, let's just well it's I don't want to look too far, too 619 00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:40.119 far ahead. If he doesn't play the rest of the year or very sparingly, 620 00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:44.920 uh, he decides to come back. Here's what Here's what I'm here's 621 00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:49.280 what I'm thinking of. Oh, well, I'm thinking here we go. 622 00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:53.599 I'm thinking transfer. Yeah, well he's been he's this is I think his 623 00:42:54.239 --> 00:43:00.320 fourth year of school. Okay, get the degree, can't get the degree, 624 00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:04.480 so that you've got an option to be a grad transfer. If it 625 00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:08.440 looks like you're you're you've lost the job for good, you know, and 626 00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:13.559 and give yourself an opportunity to go to one more place where you can play. 627 00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:17.119 If if it looks like no off of feet is the guy, but 628 00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:22.320 you're also one injury away from being the guy again. Yeah, the players 629 00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:24.039 don't think of it. No, No, I'm well aware of that. 630 00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:28.000 I'm well aware of that. But like I want to what I want to 631 00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.639 do for another year that you didn't want to be here in the first because 632 00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:34.679 we all figured this was his last year, right, If he had a 633 00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:36.960 good year, this is gonna be his last year. But even if he 634 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:39.320 didn't, well, it was hurt and doesn't start, he's not gonna get 635 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:43.599 He's not gonna get the attention of NFL people. No, no, no, 636 00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:45.400 no. But if he does well in the combines and all that stuff, 637 00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:47.960 that's because that's what it's about. Come on, you know, that's 638 00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:51.679 what it's about. If he's good enough. And we don't know if he's 639 00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:53.039 good enough, right, we just don't know that. And that's the point. 640 00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:57.239 He's if he doesn't get to play much the rest of the year, 641 00:43:57.360 --> 00:44:00.800 then he's got to go somewhere where he's gonna play and shut and show. 642 00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:05.400 No. I hear you, I hear you. Uh, sorry to cut 643 00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:07.119 you off. But speaking of getting like the reps to end the year, 644 00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:10.119 don't you think that Fafida is a what is your retro freshman? Yeah? 645 00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:14.719 Don't you think him getting the snaps on a team that is Bowl eligible looking 646 00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:16.639 to fight to stay in the race. Like, isn't that a valuable piece 647 00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:20.440 to this too? If you have the Laura ready to leave and then you 648 00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:22.519 have a Fida, it's the peace who needs the reps. It's steep piece. 649 00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:27.199 Yeah, no, it's steep piece because if he if they win against 650 00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:30.280 Oregon State with with ffida, it's not even a question. It's not a 651 00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:32.719 question anymore. The thing about it, too, is if he plays this 652 00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:37.480 year, he's playing until he's a senior, because realistically he's not gonna play 653 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:40.599 in the NFL. That's that's my point. He's got three more years after 654 00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:45.000 this, that's the case. And what he needs to do his hustle is 655 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:50.360 butt in school, get his degree so that he that if if there's not 656 00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:53.840 an opportunity for him here, he can go play somewhere one year where he 657 00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:58.000 does have an opportunity. So lots of guys do that. So ja, 658 00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:00.400 I think Jay's got your future. Play. Yeah. When was the last 659 00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:05.239 time you told another man how to spend his money? Yeah, well you 660 00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:07.760 just did. He just did. I don't do that that, you know. 661 00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:13.719 That's that's my advice as the adult in the room. That's debatable. 662 00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:17.039 That's debatable. We already said though you under said Kevin smarter than both of 663 00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:21.320 us, didn't say wise, or though I did not say wise exactly. 664 00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:28.079 That's what really matters. Older. Yes, yes, if you guys want 665 00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:29.719 to call it. You have six minutes, you can give us a quick 666 00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:32.559 call five two oh four one six seventy four forty. I'd love to hear 667 00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:36.440 from you. You know, I've I've been wanting to ask him those questions 668 00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:42.280 about him his plan. Yeah, you know, because we can't. We 669 00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:46.159 We've always those of us who kind of see the program a lot like you 670 00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:50.519 and I do. You know, I just felt like he almost had a 671 00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:53.920 notebook somewhere, you know, no but you said, or or or a 672 00:45:54.119 --> 00:46:00.079 journal or something that you know where he's been taking notes for twenty years what 673 00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:04.119 to do as a head coach. You and I have been around a long 674 00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:06.519 time for a lot of the good coaches, a lot of good coaches here 675 00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:12.400 and abroad. Uh, these guys didn't get to where they're at by accident. 676 00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:17.159 They're not getting paid millions to screw up. And if there's polished people, 677 00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:20.320 Loot was pretty good at what he did right, and pretty good at 678 00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:25.400 what he did got paid handsomely. Uh. Sean, Sean was fantastic with 679 00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:30.039 and he had Andrews before you would ask the question. Of course didn't always 680 00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:32.400 answer the question, but he always had that on top of it. Jed 681 00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:37.280 is well versed in what's going on, and he's been around. We have 682 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:39.199 a caller. Hi, you're on the AAR and I on the ball. 683 00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:45.880 Hey, what's going on? Guys? Wow? I am truly impressed. 684 00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:52.159 Are you so surprised? Do you sound surprise? I am truly impressed. 685 00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:59.400 I didn't know if I was watching DNN and doing a show for Israel or 686 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:06.320 what the heck that was? That was good stuff. Seriously, I appreciate 687 00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:08.719 it. Thank you well. Mikey liked it, so we're good. Exactly 688 00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:12.679 what did you think? What did you think of his answer on on the 689 00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:17.280 quarterbacks? I kind of like what you you said, jay I, I 690 00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:22.320 I think now and uh and Steve actually said it also. The the decision 691 00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:28.800 has been made for him, It really has. I've been on team Noah 692 00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:30.639 for the last year, but nobody would listen to me. I mean I 693 00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:38.400 saw him in California obviously at Survey and he was just which one of you 694 00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:42.559 guys always says he has that hit factor. Yeah, let me ask you. 695 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:45.840 You you know the family, don't don't you correct? Yeah? Where 696 00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:49.599 I worked with his dad. Yeah, So is there a bias there too? 697 00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:52.760 No, not at all, not at all. In fact, his 698 00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:57.039 dad used to tell me, oh, my kids this and my kids that 699 00:47:57.159 --> 00:48:00.559 at twelve years old, and I'm like, dude, stuff that. You 700 00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:05.320 know. I thought he was just one of those bragging dads. But but 701 00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:09.440 now, man, he's Uh. When I saw him at surveyed his junior 702 00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:14.320 year, I believe it was against Bishop a Mont and they could have put 703 00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:17.159 one hundred up on them. What do you what did What did you see 704 00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:22.039 back then that you like? Now? Oh, I'll tell you what one 705 00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:28.280 one was that in factor his band of just what he's called, They did 706 00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:31.880 that what's that hawka dance and all that stuff. But he was you could 707 00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:37.320 tell he was the leader everybody. After every single drill to to start the 708 00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:42.000 game came up to Noah, high five, hug, whatever it may be, 709 00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:45.079 and then he was every player. I noticed it right off the bat. 710 00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:47.960 This was a game at Bishop a Mot and I said, man, 711 00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:52.480 that guy's a leader, big time. Yeah. And I didn't notice the 712 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:55.480 height. And I'll tell you that even back then, a couple of my 713 00:48:55.559 --> 00:49:00.280 buddies says, I don't know about the height, and I'm like, ah, 714 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:04.000 he's sucking d one, guys. It don't matter. Yeah, well 715 00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:07.199 you know, he's not flashy, he's good. He is at times. 716 00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:09.239 She could get the job done that way, but he just gets the job 717 00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:13.280 done. You made Did you make the pretty analogy? I did? I 718 00:49:13.400 --> 00:49:15.519 was I was talking. We were talking in between the break Tuesday about how 719 00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:20.760 like his processing is the main difference. He's able to make a decision or 720 00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:23.599 not make a decision, uh, at least put second similar to pretty versus 721 00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:27.960 like a Garoppolo where you look at Garoppolo, you look at the physical attributes 722 00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:30.400 and you're like, well, I want that guy that's the quarterback, and 723 00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:32.239 he watched him playing. Okay, he's good, and he watched Pretty playing. 724 00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:35.679 You're like, no, that guy knows what he's doing right before he 725 00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:38.320 does it. Everything right, I think you agree there? Right? Yes, 726 00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:45.320 I love that analogy. Yeah too. And yet so he can do 727 00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:47.679 things that that we haven't seen yet. He can wing that ball and you 728 00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:52.800 mentioned it a whole year ago, Steve On on the on the scrimmage, 729 00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:57.239 you said, he can wing that ball seventy yards if he wants. Yeah, 730 00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:00.880 yeah, I know he's got he's he's got it. But it's not 731 00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:06.039 like a special it's just like a complete it Like well, it's something that 732 00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:08.880 you know that it's it's it's natural to him. It's you know, he's 733 00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:13.920 not learning this, he's got this right, right right, just an instincts 734 00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:16.599 and and those kinds of things and how to play the position. Sure, 735 00:50:16.719 --> 00:50:21.239 No, I think the pretty energy last drafted just a dude who kind of 736 00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:25.559 was there, but a winner, but a winner roster. That's why. 737 00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:30.039 That's how he'round the game. Yeah, been around the game, and he 738 00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:34.679 grew up with a football in his hand and those kind of guys. Uh 739 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:39.440 uh, exself, Victor, thanks for calling. I knew it was painful. 740 00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:43.880 I tell you one more time, you guys that that was fantastic. 741 00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:46.519 It was that. That was good stuff, all right. I know that 742 00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:51.280 was painful for you to say, given your history. I love you, 743 00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:57.840 vic Hey, thanks about appreciate your calling. I have to be painful. 744 00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:04.039 He's usually ripping up. Well, actually, you you you're dodger. He's 745 00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:05.960 a dodger. He's a dodger. Yeah, you know, we do, 746 00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:10.760 you know, But you know, it's I think that I think the fans 747 00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:14.119 are starting to hear what they want to hear, and that's really all you 748 00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:15.599 know. I mean that that that's been the deal. But you know, 749 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:20.280 no, it's the guy. He's a guy, and I really you know, 750 00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:23.559 do it once, yes, do it twice, Okay, you're three 751 00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:28.000 times. He's a good he's a good shorter Backs. Take our break. 752 00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:30.800 We're gonna come back. It's gonna be breaking news. Kevin's gonna break it 753 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:34.000 out for us. So stick around. Don't believe, they just laugh. 754 00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:36.079 Don't believe, just laugh.
