in the year. This year it
is September the twenty ninth, which is

11
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:51.200
a Friday at seven thirty pm.
And McHale obviously you know, to be

the usual or the you know,
the dunk contest, uh scrimmage and all

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.840
twenty nine, seven thirty I'll be
sure to uh to mark your calendar for

15
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.799
that. Let me see if it
says when when tickets are gonna go go

16
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.359
out. It doesn't say, but
there you go. The Arizona Red and

17
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:19.680
Blue Game. September twenty ninth.
The preseason AP Football Poll is out.

18
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.159
Arizona is not in it. Arizona
didn't even get a vote in it.

19
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:30.000
But it looks a lot like what
you would expect it to look like Georgia

20
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.000
in this order. Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, and LSU

21
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.120
make up the top five. You
know, usual suspects. USC is in

22
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:44.079
at six, Penn State, Florida
State, Clemson, and Washington make up

23
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.439
the rest of the top ten.
Also in the rankings, you've got Utah

24
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.879
at fourteen, Oregon at fifteen,
Oregon State at eighteen. So you've got

25
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.200
five teams and one of those teams, one of those teams, you say

26
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.760
Arizona is gonna beat Yeah, I
think, uh, you know, to

27
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.640
get to sex Yeah, I think, uh, you know what I mean,

28
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.799
it's gonna you think. I think
they're gonna they're gonna be Utah,

29
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.719
Organ State upset Huge upset Utah or
Oregon State. Both of those games are

30
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.520
in twos. Okay, there'll be
a game where you know, everybody gets

31
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.680
fired up for a game and they'll
beat they'll take one of those teams out.

32
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.560
You know, they're they're upset of
the year. They always win one

33
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.199
like that, they do, but
they haven't last you know, from you

34
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.280
know up they started. You know
they did it again last year. The

35
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.479
previous five years, no, but
you know they were doing that on a

36
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:37.800
once a year in a regular basis. If if you're asking me to pick

37
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.319
which one to be Oregon State,
yea more so than Utah. But they

38
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.439
need one of those. Well,
but they've beaten some good Utah teams in

39
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.599
the past when they get them here. Yeah, look at you played in

40
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:53.000
the trend. An play a trend
all right. While we're talking about rankings.

41
00:02:53.599 --> 00:03:00.599
Uh, the Arizona soccer team UH
got voted uh to be sixth in

42
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:06.680
the Pac twelve UH in UH the
preseason coaches Paul, which is good because

43
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.800
you know, packed off soccer is
really good, like a lot of the

44
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.159
this is her third year, third
year, and she's he's she's grown it

45
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.879
slowly, right, and this is
the this is the highest they've been ranked

46
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.520
since uh, you know, going
into seasons to twenty twenty. According to

47
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.080
the release from the UFA, they've
got twenty three players back from last year's

48
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:29.599
team and eight newcomers. But they
already they had a friendly with Pepperdine got

49
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.479
beat. Their season starts UH on
Thursday. They are They're at Iowa State

50
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.919
on Thursday. We'll see if we'n
get h coach Morris on the show this

51
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.039
week. If not, we'll get
as soon as we can. There's a

52
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.360
media availability with her tomorrow, but
it's during our practice or during a show,

53
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.240
so we can't do that. Okay, strange story coming out of I

54
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.759
don't know if you call it out
of the NFL. Let's just say coming

55
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:57.960
sort of coming out of Hollywood.
But Michael oher So, the guy who

56
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.000
was the subject of that book and
movie, The Blind Sign, has has

57
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:08.879
filed a lawsuit against the two people
that kind of took him in. Took

58
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.759
him in, but apparently, according
to the lawsuit, may have been taken

59
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.279
advantage of it. According to this
lawsuit, where he's he's alleging in a

60
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:23.240
in a in the fourteen page a
petition filed in probate court in Tennessee,

61
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.879
he's alleging that they told when he
signed some documents, they told him he

62
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.199
they were adopting him as a part
of their family when what the what the

63
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.079
document? And he had just turned
eighteen years old, so he's still pretty

64
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.480
much a kid. When it turns
out he signed was a conservatorship, which

65
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:45.439
basically gave them the legal authority to
make business deals in his name. Knowing

66
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:51.399
he was going to be like,
would be okay, I didn't watch a

67
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.959
movie. I know everybody else has. I didn't watch a movie for I

68
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.360
don't know what. It's this.
It's this sappy, touchy movie. Look

69
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.759
in this homeless kid took me into
their family. YadA, YadA, yadda.

70
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.319
One of the things that he is
alleging is that a family made all

71
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.720
the money off the book in the
movie and he got none of it.

72
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.800
Yeah, there's an issue that,
right, So there's some stuff and he

73
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.720
he he wants some of that.
Feels like he's been uh, let's say,

74
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.519
defrauded of a bunch of that.
Yes, did you go to the

75
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:27.079
NFL and did he make some money? He probably did, whether he's you

76
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:32.439
know, okay financially, but he's
suing the parents, the pursuing the two

77
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:38.639
parents, but the sad the petition
alleged that the two eyes. I guess

78
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.160
that's finishing use their power as conservatives
to strike a deal that paid them and

79
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.199
their two bird children millions of dollars
in royalties from an Oscar winning film that

80
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.839
earned more than three hundred hundred million
dollars, or got nothing for that story.

81
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.920
You know what this tells me?
This tells me more problems, more,

82
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.000
more money, more problems. Had
not made this money, you wouldn't

83
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.279
here. And this is the fourteen
years after the bat right, fourteen years

84
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.399
after the fact that this thing has
come out. Although I think and even

85
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.079
though it hadn't seen the movie,
you always heard some rumblings up that it

86
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.079
wasn't why whenever the movie wasn't what
it was? Right here, here's here's

87
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.879
a quote from the from the complaint. Because the lie of Michael's adoption is

88
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:25.800
one upon which co conservators Leanne Towey
and Sean Towey have enriched themselves at the

89
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.399
expense of their ward, they undersigned
Michael lower. Michael Or discovered this lie

90
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.920
to his chagrin and embarrassment in February
of twenty twenty three, when he learned

91
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:39.600
that the conservatorship to which he consented
on the basis of that doing so it

92
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.000
would make him a member of the
Two Family. In fact, provided him

93
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.720
no familial relationship with the Two Eyes, so he's not a part of their

94
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.720
family there. It's kind of like
the Britney Spears. Sure, sure what

95
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.639
he's alleged, sure that they that
they want They earned a bunch of money

96
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.800
off this movie and stuff, and
he got no. Yeah, that's a

97
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.439
little difficult, a little difficult.
So we'll see what happens. Not a

98
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.639
little but it's you know again,
it's just kind of a feel good story

99
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.600
that's gone yea and writing the crapper. Anyways, so we're talking about compensation

100
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:11.560
and money. Probably the best running
back who did not have a team to

101
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.360
play for until now, Zeke Elliott, assigned a one year deal with the

102
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.759
Patriots. It's a according to Adam
Schefter, it includes a three million dollars

103
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:24.079
base salary, a one million dollars
signing bonus, and the deal can be

104
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:29.279
worth up to six million dollars with
How would you label his career to this

105
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.120
point, Uh, typically typical of
a running back, a guy who gets

106
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.000
out there, gets a bunch of
yards, gets to be used up,

107
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.480
gets a bunch of things, and
then gets kind of kicked to the side

108
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.959
because they feel he's kind of used
up. Yeah, and he but he

109
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.040
hasn't had has been He has been
great for a couple of years. He

110
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:49.000
hasn't been that guy they thought he
would be, almost like hardly the guy

111
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.879
that they thought he would be.
Yeah, so what do you how would

112
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:56.600
you How would you do if you
walked into walked into a college class and

113
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.240
standing at the front of the room
to be as your instructor? It was

114
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.360
Peyton Mann. It depends on what
the class was. Class is. Well,

115
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:09.600
he's been he's been given the title
of professor where is the professor in

116
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.959
Professor of Practice at the University of
Tennessee in the College of Communication, and

117
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:20.040
he'll be teaching some communication classes at
Tennessee. I think it'd be pretty cool

118
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.360
knowing a reputation that he's kind of
funny, kind of clever. Uh,

119
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.240
probably gonna be funny and clever in
your class. Yeah, it's funny,

120
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.879
it's funny. Did we have We
didn't have him on the show though.

121
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:35.799
When we talked to Sean Elliott when
he got his degree, Remember we had

122
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.720
him on Zoom and Bruce and I
were talking to him and he said,

123
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.200
how was it when you were in
class? With ub dudes, you know,

124
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.000
and did they know who you were? Well, eventually they knew who

125
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.000
he was, Right, it is, Sean's in our room, charging our

126
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.320
class, and no one bothered.
No one bothered him out of respect.

127
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.080
But you know, I'm sure they
were kind of like, you know,

128
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.919
Sean's in my class. Yeah,
yeah, it'd be kind of like that.

129
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.960
Yeah. I don't have you ever
had any well back in the day,

130
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.360
any fame people. No, you
know, I didn't. I know

131
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:07.960
my my my wife had Steve Current
a class, uh, because I think

132
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.679
he took some journalism classes. I
think my wife had had curR in a

133
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.919
class. But I never had anybody
that I thought was like a football players

134
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:16.600
in any of my classes. Well, let me put this, I might

135
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.879
not have known if I did a
bunch. Why did you go to class?

136
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.759
Did you go to class? There
were no online classes. I had

137
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:30.360
to go sometimes I had to go. Who's this kid? He comes in?

138
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.120
Sometimes? Buddy of mine who was
going to UNLV at the time,

139
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.879
during you know, the late seventies
and whatnot. He used to be the

140
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.879
He had a cat class with a
guy named Sydney Green. He was a

141
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.720
player and he was the designated guy
who would have to go look for Sydney

142
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:46.840
and he didn't show up for class. Hey, Dale, go find Sydney

143
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.679
him, get him in, get
him and bring him the class Sydney Green.

144
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.000
Yeah, so that was kind of
funny. So Payton manny Man professor

145
00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:01.919
practice in uh the University of says. His brother Eli immediately tweeted, easy

146
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:09.639
a kind of funny stuff. Uh, before I get to a kind of

147
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.840
a serious one. Drear Jackson,
guy who at the forward at the Pima,

148
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.480
who had been on who came on
our show. Yeah, he's uh,

149
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.240
he's uh signed a letter of intent
a Tarleton State University. Is that

150
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.080
the kid from Alaska? Yes?
Okay he was guy. Yeah, why

151
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.600
did you come to Why did you
come to Tucson to play? He kind

152
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.720
of reminded me of Alaska. So
he's he's gonna he's gonna be in a

153
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.879
Division one school. He's at the
Carlton State. Is that is in the

154
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.519
wax? Yeah? Yeah, he
was one of the better players, well

155
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.240
the first said, according to the
release from PEMA, the first two time

156
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.120
All American and program history. Yeah. Nice, good for him. All

157
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.080
right, Well, looks like showing
up as a very serious story a wander

158
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.759
Franco, twenty two year old,
really good player for for the the Tampa

159
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.639
Raise. Sounds like he might be
in some rubble. He's been put on

160
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.639
the on the restricted list for the
for the Raise, UH pending an investigation

161
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:15.120
into, according to reports, an
alleged relationship with a minor. Yeah,

162
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.200
I saw. I didn't see that
part of it, but it was kind

163
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.360
of like you do it with something
bad, because he played and then he

164
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.639
took him out. They took him
out. Yeah, or he didn't play

165
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.159
and then took him out. So
he's on the restricted list and won't be

166
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.559
playing for who knows how long.
But it sounds like serious stuff and they're

167
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:35.360
going to figure it out, so
we'll see what happens there. Did you

168
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.639
see did you see the picture of
Kyler Kyler Murray no sporting what looks like

169
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.320
a sports bra? Oh? I
did? That was him? Yeah,

170
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.360
I just saw, Is this a
sports brad? I'm thinking I just flipped

171
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.639
the chat. That was Kyler Murray. And to me, it wasn't so

172
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.320
much the sports bra, it was
how heavy he looked around them. Didn't

173
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.200
I didn't know. I just didn't
even pay attention. I didn't know.

174
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.759
Now I know, he's, you
know, recovering from a knee injury,

175
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.360
and he's been limited in what he
can do. But if he's getting close

176
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.759
to playing, he looks pretty out
of shape to me. He does.

177
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.120
He certainly doesn't have the let me
just say this, he's got some stuff

178
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.879
hanging out the sides of his shorts. Well don't know, we all.

179
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.600
I mean, I'm one to talk, right, but nonetheless, you know,

180
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.799
this guy's supposed to be an elite
athlete. Certainly doesn't look like an

181
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.240
elite athlete to me. Right,
what's today twenty twenty three, I'll tell

182
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.000
you a year. Do you think
he'd be in the league In twenty twenty

183
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.120
five, he'll be somewhere. Well, I think he'd be playing baseball.

184
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.519
Maybe maybe he'd do that. He's
will do that. You know, I've

185
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.639
talked about the small quarterbacks and you
see him everywhere now. But that's dangerous.

186
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.879
I mean, that's dangerous. And
then finally, ESPN officially announced that

187
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.720
Mike Breen, Doris Burke, and
Doc Rivers will be their number one NBA

188
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:54.759
broadcast team, and then the number
two team will be Ryan Rucco, Richard

189
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.159
Jefferson, your friend and JJ Reddick. Will be the number two team.

190
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.919
Oh yeah, they're both Reddick and
I think they've done some games together.

191
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.480
Very smart dudes, very clever dudes. I like Reddic a lot. I

192
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.799
like Richards Richard a lot because he's
he's he's a sarcastic, little snarky guy.

193
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.039
Not a little, but he's just
he's always been that guy. He's

194
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.399
always been that guy. From the
practical time I wrote my call him a

195
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.679
senior year, junior year, whatever
it was, I've said, this dude

196
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.720
has a communication not a gift,
because all he does is talk a lot

197
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.000
of crap. I can't say the
real right word. And he's good at

198
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:31.799
it, and he's and he's a
good looking dude and people love him and

199
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.240
you know, very well spoken.
Yeah, you know when you when you

200
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.080
see him analyzing you, he does
his homework, and that's all you're looking

201
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:45.039
for in a guy in that pure
do the work. Yeah, him the

202
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.000
work. Let us know that,
you know more than I can him and

203
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.639
j you can do well. I'm
sure they're gonna give and if they haven't

204
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:54.440
already given each other grief from Duke
and Arizona Arizona. Yeah, so so,

205
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.120
Richard Jefferson making a nice name for
himself out there. Is he a

206
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.200
guy spe his career? Do you
think he's the guy that would end ever

207
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.519
trying to enter into coaching or anything. No, he will, No,

208
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:09.720
it's too much work for that for
him. No, he's gonna loves Yeah,

209
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.720
No, because he had a chance. He had a chance when he

210
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.000
retired, because Luke was still coaching
and he said that he wouldn't do that.

211
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.559
Yeah. Again, they're best friends, or they were at least,

212
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.279
right. All right, Well,
let's let's take our second break, our

213
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.879

some of his thoughts on I guess I'm

play or Arizona, especially on the starting

299
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:56.400
group when you look at uh Jonah
Salvenia Jordan Morgan on the outside, that

300
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.559
could be the best tackle combination in
the Pac twelve. And then going into

301
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:07.000
the guard position, Wendell mos dropped
from three sixty to three forty. And

302
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:12.039
the big Raymond Polito freshman who's six
six, three thirty seven ish very good,

303
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:17.319
very quick. He was, you
know, a tackle coming into Arizona.

304
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:19.880
But they've moved him to the right
guard position and he's looked really good

305
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:23.720
there. And even Josh Baker kind
of showed improvements in terms of getting the

306
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:29.039
ball to Jayden Well. Jed did
talk about the offensive line and made the

307
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.039
comment that you know, uh,
you know, it's our I think he

308
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:34.240
said it's our strongest position and when
will you when was the last time that

309
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:38.880
was ever said at Tucson, Which
he's correct about that, but you know,

310
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.079
I mean that's obviously if they want
to do anything else, that's got

311
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.240
to be a key. And it's
been a really long time since Arizona has

312
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.119
had that kind of an offensive line, at least what we're seeing on paper.

313
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.039
Yeah, you know, when they
first got here, that offensive line

314
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.799
during that first season, I know
I wrote about it is probably one of

315
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.359
the worst stairs on his hat in
its football history. And just to see

316
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.400
how it progress from that point at
one and eleven and how they've been able

317
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:08.400
to add talent in depth to that
line is really impressive. And now you're

318
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.279
looking at a unit that I think
personally could finish in the top half of

319
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:17.200
the pack twall, maybe in that
four to five range. And when you

320
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.039
look at the offenses in the Pac
twall, that's saying a lot. And

321
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:23.440
it all really starts with the guys
on the outside and just how quickly Jona

322
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.200
Salvini has been able to pick up
the right tackle position, going over from

323
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:30.440
right guard to right tackle. I
mean, it looks really smooth for him.

324
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.559
Yeah, So I didn't notice them
because I don't know what I'm looking

325
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.640
for, but it was very obvious
that the running back situation looked good,

326
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.400
just offensively. Offensively, they look
good. Yeah, you know, it

327
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:45.960
looks good. It looks like everybody
finally kind of has a full grip of

328
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:51.160
the playbook, especially Jit and do
Laura. He's making quick decisions, which

329
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:55.160
I think is making openings for the
running backs, because you're so concerned about

330
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.960
the passing game that it's led to
holes for the running backs like Jonah Coleman,

331
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:02.839
like Michael Wiley and guys like ray
Sewn Luke who have the sixty seven

332
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:07.039
yard run. They're finding holes and
a lot of that is credit to the

333
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.480
offensive line, but also Jed and
Delora making reads apple line of scrimmage,

334
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.880
which Jed talked about how he feels
more comfortable with Jayden making those calls and

335
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:21.519
how he's making quicker decisions against whatever
coverage the defense is thrown at him.

336
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.079
You know, we know that they've
got, you know, a bunch of

337
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:29.200
running backs and let me say a
bunch of bike mainly four probably you know

338
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:33.400
running backs that you can talk about, Michael Wiley, Jonah Coleman, dj

339
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.519
I can't remember his last name,
and then a speedy Luke. But you

340
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.000
know, when you have a guy
like Michael Wiley, who I think it's

341
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:42.599
going to be a key to everything, don't you kind of hang your hat

342
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:47.799
on him and use those other guys
only as needed, you know. I

343
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:51.079
think that's an interesting thing to look
at because last year he had seven hundred

344
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:55.759
yards rushing and over eleven hundred yards
total offense. I think he is the

345
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:57.160
main back and he will get most
of the carries. But when you look

346
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:02.759
at a guy like DJ Williams than
Jonah Coleman in the red zone for Arizonans

347
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:04.960
has a successful season this year,
they're gonna have to feed them the ball.

348
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.720
I think Coleman only got around three
hundred and forty yards last year.

349
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.799
DJ Williams around that same mark.
But maybe the yardage doesn't go up,

350
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:17.880
but the touchdowns increased. Because one
of the keys from the scrimmage was Arizona

351
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:19.920
was four for four went in the
red zone and there are two for two

352
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:26.119
with the starting offense and both times
DJ Williams and Jonah Coleman were in the

353
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.839
game. I think Coleman even got
a rushing touchdown. But they're very big,

354
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:32.960
physical backs, and you know,
Scotty Graham talked about it. If

355
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:36.079
you want to score in the red
zone, you got to establish the run

356
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:38.000
and make teams think about that first
before the pass. Well, when you

357
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:42.559
say that, it throws me back
to the ninety eight team where Calvinifon scored.

358
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:47.839
I don't know, you had like
fifteen twenty touchdowns, but you know

359
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:49.559
he was a fullback and he wasn't
running the ball up and down the field,

360
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.119
but they would get to the red
zone and you knew he was getting

361
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.640
the ball and he put it in
the end zone a whole bunch of times.

362
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:57.920
Is that Is that what we're talking
about? Yeah? I think so.

363
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:02.119
And I think you could see maybe
one or two of those two guys

364
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:04.319
out there on the field for Arizona. And look, I mean you could

365
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:08.119
do many different things with Jayden behind
you know, center there. He's the

366
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.359
guy that can run, and they've
said that they want to get him to

367
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.880
run a little bit more of this
season. So maybe going back to RPOs,

368
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:18.359
you know, rich Rod days and
trying to get into the red zone,

369
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.400
but always having the threat of a
big physical back being able to pound

370
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.599
it in is a good thing for
Arizona and just the improvement on the line.

371
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.599
I don't think last season they were
able to get that push at the

372
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:32.359
line of scrimmage that they needed.
Yeah, yeah, no, no.

373
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.079
And now defensively, what do you
see? You know, defensively, I

374
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:41.279
think they're taking steps forward. There's
a lot of good that came from the

375
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.720
transfers with you know, justin flow
of Orange, Pottu and so many more

376
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.920
Tyler and Manoah. I think it's
a matter of depth and you see more

377
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:53.160
death and seeing guys that they're able
to rotate in and out. Last year

378
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.559
they kind of did that parts then
when they had freshmen that had games under

379
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:00.079
their belt, but it looked ugly
at times, and buy a season's end,

380
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.440
it was an improved defense. This
year, you have those same guys

381
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:08.839
that have experienced starting that you're going
to see in an outation and veteran guys

382
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.640
from other conferences that have been at
power of programs that can kind of,

383
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:17.319
you know, steady the defense a
little bit. But the major question mark

384
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:21.519
for me right now is at the
secondary position, at the safeties, specifically

385
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:26.200
outside of Isaiah Taylor. Nobody's really
separated, and I think it's kind of

386
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.839
like a log jam there with Gunner
Maldonado, Genesis Smith, and DJ Warnell.

387
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:34.279
Nobody's really stepped up to the plate. Nobody's kind of hurt themselves yet.

388
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:37.880
But you've got to figure out that
second safety spot. Well, Yeah,

389
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.640
and I think I think Jed talked
about that after practice last week.

390
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.680
I mean, is that a good
thing or a bad thing that you have

391
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.599
that level of competition where those guys
are all kind of kind of equal.

392
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.039
I think it's a little bit of
both, because I do feel that Warnell

393
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.880
and Maldonado have the same issue is
where they're good at tackling, they're good

394
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:02.240
at stopping the run, but they
do struggle and ask coverage. Isaiah Taylor's

395
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:06.359
their best coverage safety and he's shown
it during spring and training camp. And

396
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:10.000
then a guy like Genesis Smith is
kind of you know all over in terms

397
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:14.079
of has done everything really well.
But until you get games under your belt,

398
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:15.839
until you put them out there in
live action, even if it's against

399
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:19.519
the NAU, you just don't know
what to expect from a true freshman that

400
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:25.240
hasn't experienced a college game. Yeah. Yeah, so you must really like

401
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:30.000
what you've seen so far. Yeah, I do I think this again,

402
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:34.039
I said it last year, but
in terms of just NFL talent, I

403
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:38.079
think this is the most NFL talent
Arizona's hat going back to the Mike Stoops

404
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:41.799
days. No disrespect to coach Rodriguez, but they had a lot of good

405
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:47.599
college guys. These guys that Jed
has, there's a lot of good NFL

406
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:52.960
potential on the roster right now.
And that's that's kind of what the coaching

407
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.519
staff is sort of about. They
recognize NFL talent because a bunch of them

408
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.359
have been around the NFL. That's
kind of what they're selling. And then

409
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.400
and it looks like they're getting those
guys for sure, and they're you know,

410
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.839
doing it in many different ways.
You know, you have the big

411
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:11.880
guys up front like Jordan Morgan,
Jonas Abnea, and Raymond Polido, but

412
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:18.319
then you have guys like two star
linebacker Kamu Kayu. I probably mispronounced that,

413
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:19.160
so my bad on that. I'm
going to get better on that.

414
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.680
But the kid was a two star
linebacker at a Hawaii. He's a true

415
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:26.960
freshman this year and kind of got
overlooked. But when you look at him,

416
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.440
he's six one six two about two
fifteen. I mean, he seems

417
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:34.359
the size of a college level linebacker, and at this point last season,

418
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.720
he's ahead of where Jacob Manu was
and we still have that ended for Jacob.

419
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.880
Yeah, okay, no, no
good. Can we transition to to

420
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.599
basketball? I know you saw it
this morning? Yeah? No, yeah,

421
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.440
definitely. What'd you like? What'd
you see? You know, it's

422
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.519
hard to tell when you're playing a
team that you don't know much about and

423
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:56.799
it's an overseas game. But Arizona, I mean, they got off on

424
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.559
a fast start often started to flow
pretty quickly for them, and one of

425
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:06.240
the main takeaways for me was the
play of Kashad Johnson. Everybody talked about

426
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:10.079
his defense, but just how he
flowed in with the offense. I'm not

427
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:12.839
sure he's gonna average twenty four points
of the game out of Arizona when you

428
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:18.759
know, coming into conference play,
but just how his offensive game flowed through

429
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.240
the Tommy Lloyd's system was really surprising
to see and really good for Arizona.

430
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:27.799
I think he's a good fit for
them. And then also Polius Morowski is

431
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:32.240
the true freshman from Lithuania. He
had a good game, ten points in

432
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:34.519
the first quarter, I think he
finished with seventeen. Just a really good

433
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.680
shot and you know, did some
good things defensively. You know, I

434
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.400
was saying that I was looking for
what it looked like, not so much

435
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.759
you know, the score of the
game and whatnot. It just looked like

436
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.480
what Arizona has looked like since it's
been you know, under Tommy Lloyd.

437
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.000
A lot of the same different you
know, with different parts, but pretty

438
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:56.640
much looking pretty similar. I mean
that's what I thought I saw at least.

439
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:59.920
Yeah, a lot of ball movement, but one of one of them

440
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.400
takaways. Also is the defense looks
improved. I think you have a lot

441
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.559
of really good defenders on this team. Obviously Palla Larson, Umar Ballo coming

442
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:12.599
out, but Kashad Johnson, you
have Jaden Bradley in Caleb Love. Those

443
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:17.640
guys are really good defenders, as
well as kyl and Bobswell. This team

444
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:21.000
has the potential to be his best
defensive team. I know it's only been

445
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.920
three years, but that first season
they're pretty good defensively, and if they

446
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.599
have the solid defense and you know
they're going to pick things up offensively,

447
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:32.559
this could be a very dangerous roster. So I think you were there when

448
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:36.839
Tommy talked about the trip right a
week or so ago. Correct, What

449
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:41.160
did you think of Bala when he
walked in. You know, when I

450
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.440
saw him sit down, one of
the things that jumped out were his arms,

451
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:47.559
and I thought he got more muscle
in his arms. I'm like,

452
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:52.200
wow, that's very impressive. But
when he watched today, he also it

453
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.519
looks like he gained in the stomach
area and he just seems slower out there.

454
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.079
It's not the same Umar from last
season. Now we are, you

455
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:04.000
know, months away from the season
tipping off, so I don't think it's

456
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:07.599
anything to panic about. But he
did have a hard time keeping up and

457
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.880
down the floor with the team,
and at times he didn't even see him

458
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:14.720
on the screen. Well, yeah, you know that that was the thing.

459
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.559
I didn't notice any of that,
but you know, you know,

460
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:22.680
if he does have time, if
that's an issue, he does have time

461
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.279
to to work that out. But
he looked good. He looked I remember

462
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:27.720
we saw him in the summer last
year and he looked pretty good. He

463
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.799
looked pretty good. You know,
if we're noticing, I'm sure that they're

464
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:36.400
not sure of course. Yeah,
you know, I thought the guard play

465
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:41.759
was steady. We Uh. Steve
and I talked about Philippe and he just

466
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:47.839
looked he's looking like a guy who's
going to contribute because he just looks more

467
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:51.279
in control of himself, more confident
of himself out there, at least he

468
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:56.240
did today. Yeah. You know, he also had summer events going over

469
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.920
with his national team and he played
pretty good in that, and today he

470
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:02.400
looked good out there. It looked
like he knew where to be where.

471
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:07.000
Last year kind of had the deer
in headlights feeling when he was out there,

472
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.880
kind of a panicked feeling. I
don't think there was any of that

473
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:13.680
in this game for phil episode.
That's a good sign moving forward. And

474
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.799
also Kylan Boswell and Caleb love how
they played off of each other. None

475
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:21.240
of them had a big game,
but they were able to have ball movement

476
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:23.759
and play off of each other.
Four shots, the shots and fall.

477
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:29.200
But it's really promising to see how
the two guards have kind of collaborated so

478
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.799
far. Yeah, No, I
think it's going to be a fun season.

479
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:36.759
Another fun season, and then come
March and anybody can guess what we'll

480
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:40.319
have. You like the starting lineup, it was funny. Hey, remember

481
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:45.440
Tommy said Doug read into the starting
lineup at all, and I think he's

482
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:50.440
correct on that. Do you remember
what it was? I could see it

483
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:55.759
was Dylan Anderson was at center.
Then they had Philip at guard at one

484
00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:00.160
of the guards Jaden Bradley, Kasha
Johnson, and Pella Larson, and I

485
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.200
believe Okay, that's kind of a
big yeah. I mean, yeah,

486
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:07.960
you know, it's just do you
feel Philippe in there? Was I thought

487
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:12.559
was fun and interesting? Yeah,
But you know, I was telling I

488
00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.759
was telling Steve that I thought Philippe
looks like a like a more maybe a

489
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:23.079
more athletic or more confident version of
Pelly Larson out on the perimeter. Yeah,

490
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:28.480
I think a little bit more offensively
skilled and more polished than Pella was.

491
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:32.559
But you just have to have that
confidence. And even though Tommy Lloyd

492
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:37.720
is an offensive coach, if you're
getting hurt on the defensive ends, he's

493
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.039
not going to tolerate that. He
does want two way players. So there's

494
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:43.599
a lot of growth there, but
a lot of promise. Okay, we

495
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.960
got a minute left. What do
you expect to see this week at football?

496
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:51.279
You know, what I'm looking to
see is if one of the safeties

497
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.599
will start to step up in that
role. I know Dwayne and Keene is

498
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:58.720
looking for the same thing. Who's
going to be the guy to separate themselves?

499
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:02.200
And also, even though I would
imagine Justin Flow will be the starting

500
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:07.119
linebacker for Arizona if he can progress
and take a positive step forward, because

501
00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:12.400
right now, Daniel Hamuli has been
working with the ones alongside Jacob Manu,

502
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.920
and Hamuli looks pretty good. He
was a four star recruit coming out of

503
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:20.280
Washington when he transferred over to Arizona. Just a very talented kid. And

504
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:23.800
right now their best pass cover linebacker. Can Justin Flow step up and make

505
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:28.039
a push for that starting file?
Ask you what that said, because we

506
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:31.760
talked about it's a couple of times
Jay and I hear about Justin Flow looks

507
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:36.880
great, fun to talk to,
fun to listen to. But is he

508
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:43.079
the guy that we all heard about? You know, I think he is.

509
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:47.280
But it's a matter of how much
are they keeping them contained during training

510
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:51.840
camp? How much of it is
Justin Flow issues in coverage, and how

511
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:54.480
much is it keeping them contained?
Because he's the guy that goes one hundred

512
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:58.679
and twenty per one hundred percent of
the time and we've seen them, you

513
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:02.000
know, accidentally light up a few
players in practice because he's going so hard,

514
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:05.320
so they don't, you know,
they have to reel him back in

515
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:08.280
a little bit. And Coach Nansen
talked about that, So how much of

516
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:12.960
it is that? And I just
want to see that moving forward because I

517
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:16.079
would imagine again he will be a
starter, but can can he kind of

518
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:20.519
play within the system? Okay,
okay, good to know. All right,

519
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:22.280
Choy, thanks so much, have
a good one, guys, All

531
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:01.880
back at the Ludolson era. In
my new book, Lessons from Loot,

532
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:05.599
it was a labor of love through
the eyes of twenty five former players,

533
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:08.519
coaches and friends to give insight to
the coach and the man who led them,

534
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:13.079
competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his twenty

535
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:16.400
five years as Arizona's beloved coach.
Lessons from Loot is an insight to how

536

it, that's fine. There's a
long list there might be. The people

595
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:45.639
are afraid to call it, call
us. We'd like to hear from you.

596
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:49.960
The more people who call us,
the better the show COEs exactly.

597
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:54.519
You don't have to listen to it. Would actually be amused if you told

598
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:58.679
us how full of crap you think
we are. It'd be kind of fun

599
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.800
to know, so we can being
full of crap that we are. That's

600
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:06.480
okay, you know what, Steve. It's good that we know we are.

601
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:08.199
Yeah, we're good at that.
Right. It's one thing. It's

602
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:10.639
one thing you fell crap and you
don't know it. If you think you're

603
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:14.760
not, when you do know it
and you know you are, and you're

604
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:16.400
okay with it and you just go
with it. That's that's so much better.

605
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:19.760
People still is cool. It's like, you know, cool, he's

606
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.000
a jerk, but he's my jerk. That's right, that's right. It's

607
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:24.480
might baby. It's baby with it. That's my baby. You want to

608
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:28.519
do some more jet for stuff if
you want, Well, let's let's go

609
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:31.599
back to uh. Coming out of
the scrimmage, he had some just in

610
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:37.719
general comment the folks, is this
his first his introductory remarks in the in

611
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:42.119
the post scrimmage pressure right there on
the field, here's uh, here's what

612
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:45.159
Jed had to say. I thought
it was a good scrimmage. Most important

613
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:49.440
thing we did was stay healthy,
which, as you guys know by now,

614
00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:52.840
in scrimmage situations, that's always what
we look for first and foremost.

615
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:55.800
A lot of things we can correct
on the film. Just wanted to get

616
00:41:57.159 --> 00:42:00.920
a lot of people on tape.
We played everybody that was our planned today.

617
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:01.880
We wanted to see as many reps
as we could. We had one

618
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:06.199
hundred and thirty five reps today if
you count special teams, And to me,

619
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:08.239
it was a matter of how can
we see as much football as we

620
00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:13.920
can't see to help our guys be
where would they want to be and see

621
00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:17.239
where we feel like they fit in
best. A lot of young so veteran

622
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:21.639
transferred guys that we haven't seen get
tackled very much. So all of that

623
00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:24.760
was good and that was really the
goal of today. So I think that

624
00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:30.440
offensively, we had a lot of
good ball plays today and especially our one

625
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:34.599
group. And then I feel like
overall, in the second half of this

626
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.719
scrimmage, the defense came back and
battled pretty good. So we'll see what

627
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:42.119
the take looks like. But a
lot to learn from for sure. Yeah,

628
00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:45.199
that's pretty much jed right, he's
mister optimistic, No, and he

629
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:47.480
looked fine. It was long.
One hundred and thirty five play was a

630
00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:51.960
pay they start, you know,
they warmed up me being the cage veteran

631
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:53.880
that I am, should a half
hour lead. They hadn't even started yet.

632
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:57.480
Yeah, you don't want to stay
out there longer than I had to.

633
00:42:57.800 --> 00:42:59.960
And then they went to one hundred
and thirty five plays a lot.

634
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:02.360
It's a long day, and you
know what, I to me, that's

635
00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:07.920
a sign that they've really got a
sense of what they want to be accomplishing,

636
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:09.400
and they're trying to accomplish that it, you know, and they don't

637
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:14.679
get you know that many opportunity really, you know, people forget that there's

638
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:19.559
there's camp and then there's preparation for
the first game. So their camp,

639
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:22.719
their fall camp is one more week
and with the scrimmage on Saturday, then

640
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:25.840
they get in the game prep.
Yeah, no question. You know.

641
00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:29.480
In fact, why we're trying to
line up some guests for this week and

642
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.679
maybe next uh, maybe we try
to get ahold of Don Brown because they're

643
00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:37.519
week zero next week, two weeks
next week from Saturdays Saturday, so maybe

644
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.239
we get him on the show.
Was still a popular dude down here.

645
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:46.119
Let me ask you something. This
is a weird question. So we went

646
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:50.719
to practice and Don Brown was on
on the field. Was he yelling?

647
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:53.280
How much of a yeller was he? And to what degree was he a

648
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:58.159
young he was learned? There's the
difference. He was loud. He was

649
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:02.679
loud, but I don't think a
yeller or he was like loud in somebody's

650
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:07.320
face and yelling at somebody. He
was loud from the standpoint of you know,

651
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.679
coaching. Yeah, you know you
could hear him, and you can

652
00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:14.800
you knew that the kids responded right, right, right, so no,

653
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:17.159
I know you went there, but
you've been here. You covered him a

654
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:22.960
Keena does the same thing, but
kind of different. He's he's always motivating.

655
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:29.480
It seemed like he's always he's always
teaching, teaching, coaching, explaining.

656
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:32.360
What's the difference between him and Don
Brown? Not a lot of different

657
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:36.079
where I wanted to go with,
not a lot of difference because because there's

658
00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:39.280
a like a lot of the guys
on Stoop Mike Stoop staff yelled at guys,

659
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:43.800
They yelled at guys and yelled at
him, tried to yelled at him

660
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:47.679
for what they were doing, yelling
at specific guys. Whereas Akeena when he's

661
00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:52.519
yelling, he's loud, but he's
coaching. Yeah he's not. He's not

662
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:54.880
criticizing, he's coaching, he's explaining. And I think Don Brown was a

663
00:44:54.880 --> 00:45:00.519
lot of that. I thought more
from a from kind of a wider angle.

664
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:02.119
By that, I mean, you
know more about you know, a

665
00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:07.679
group of guys doing certain things.
That's the impression I got. We always

666
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:09.960
heard Don Brown. Yeah, uh, And he was totally different off the

667
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:15.360
field too, because very good storyteller, very compelling, very like your grandfather

668
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:20.480
telling him deliberate about what he so, uh yeah. The reason I asked

669
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.440
that because I'm doing something on a
keena later and we were there when he

670
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:25.760
for the media day and he was
fantastic, and I asked, jed about

671
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:31.679
him because he's been here forever,
coming gone and you just know the impact

672
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:35.599
he's having. Right. I like
what he said. I listened to the

673
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:38.079
clip. I like what he said
when when uh he asked David Shaw about

674
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:42.199
him and he said and he was
kind of very low key about what he

675
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:45.239
is and he said he's he's what
David Shaw said times fifty. Yeah.

676
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:46.599
Yeah, I was surprised and I
didn't get a follow up because I was

677
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:51.239
the last question. Had he not
known him before, I would assume that

678
00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:54.559
he did. Yeah, maybe that's
another question askally. I don't know,

679
00:45:55.440 --> 00:46:00.199
okay, so uh jed was.
I would also asked, you know,

680
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:04.400
are they where they thought they should
be or where they would hope hoped it

681
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.480
would be in camp in terms of
the progress that they've made, were the

682
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:10.719
things that they're working on here was
the answer to that? Oh yeah,

683
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:14.360
in terms of what we've put in, where where we want to be,

684
00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:16.960
in terms of our installations, in
terms of our execution, we could always

685
00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:22.639
be better. I think that our
guys have a much better feel of the

686
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:25.280
offense of the defense this year than
they did a year ago. I think

687
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:29.960
that's showing up. I would say
it is showing up what we've asked of.

688
00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:34.719
Our quarterback is beginning to show up. His control at the line of

689
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:40.119
scrimmage, his ability to his decision
making, scramble when needed. But continue

690
00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:43.719
to work. I'm playing in the
pocket and get better, I would say.

691
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:45.599
Defensively, they're in your two of
the system. They're still working out

692
00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:50.440
some of the changes, but you
could see him playing faster, and that's

693
00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:52.199
really what I'm looking for. At
camp. We're three weeks away from opening

694
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:57.440
day. We have seven great camp
days ahead of us, four of which

695
00:46:57.480 --> 00:47:01.280
will be in pads and with mentality, we need to really use this week

696
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:06.599
as our week to get technique,
fundamentals and toughness down, and then the

697
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:08.519
following two weeks we'll figure out how
we start game planning. And now we're

698
00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:14.079
in that twenty hour rule after that. You know, it's funny listening to

699
00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:16.440
I don't know why, just listening
to this clip, it dawned on me

700
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:24.880
why you feel coaches need to have
at least three years two kind to get

701
00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:29.519
settled. Get settled because, as
you mentioned in one of the other clips,

702
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:32.559
the first year they're just they're just
they get here. They really don't

703
00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:37.239
get to recruit a lot. Sure, they go with what they got and

704
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:40.519
they're starting and why he calls a
year zero, right, there's like you're

705
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:45.880
just trying to get through the season
and start to implement your way of doing

706
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:50.880
this, your system, your offense
or defense. A second year, you've

707
00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:55.119
got you've got really your first recruiting
class. But they're all brand new,

708
00:47:55.480 --> 00:48:00.679
right, they're all new to the
system, whether they're transfer portal guy or

709
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:05.159
you know, freshman recruits. So
that first year, so that second year

710
00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:08.400
is really there as he as he
has said Auch, the first year that

711
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:13.440
you're working with guys that you've picked. Sure, sure, right, and

712
00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:15.920
you're still they're all still new to
this. Yeah, it's the second year

713
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:20.199
of your system, and the guys
are the guys who were left over have

714
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:22.239
it. But the guys that you
went out and picked for this system,

715
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:27.199
it's their first year. And now
you're into this third year where all those

716
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:30.760
guys now have had a full year
in the system. In this case,

717
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:34.559
he's you know, they're only in
the second year with this defensive coordinator.

718
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:37.800
You know, they're in their third
year of the offense, but really the

719
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:42.480
second year with their players who are
gonna be key players for him. It's

720
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:45.239
really it's really a long process,
and you know, you almost even say

721
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:51.119
you need even one more year after
that where you feel like the learning is

722
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:54.519
over and the guys are used to
the system and they're doing well, especially

723
00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:59.559
especially I'm not trying to give Jeddah
and allaby, but it was very c

724
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:05.039
by, especially when you're the team
before you got here sucked. It was

725
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:12.199
right right and Deon. There's a
few coaches go into a situation where it's

726
00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:15.079
all rosy, right, if there's
a reason why you're getting the chance of

727
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:17.880
being a coach, and you sort
of understand, and that why I still

728
00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:22.000
think it's kind of crappy the way
it went down up there in Colorado,

729
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:23.920
but you understand why. He just
says, let's clear house. Yeah,

730
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:28.079
it's clean house, and start as
fresh as we possibly can. Ja,

731
00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:30.960
I don't know if you'll agree with
me here and and and it's okay if

732
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.679
you don't. But I asked,
like like some guys, and I asked

733
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.519
Jake on the show. Can we
know what Deon did publicly? Right?

734
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:40.920
He went in and we saw the
clips. He's fine going in and says,

735
00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:43.719
if you don't want to be with
here, we don't want you here.

736
00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:45.519
Get the hell out. Here's your
chance of baggage in ABU. But

737
00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:52.079
it happens except the coaches that they
don't go in there, don't public They

738
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:57.920
don't do a publicly because roster's turnover. Yeah, it's very it's very parent

739
00:49:57.960 --> 00:50:00.880
turned. They turn over. They
just don't turn over the way the deal

740
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:01.760
the way. We don't see it. We don't see it. We don't

741
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:05.119
know we see it. We just
don't well, we see it at the

742
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:07.079
end, but we don't see the
details of it as it's happened. So

743
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:12.440
I think there was more more deal
making the public than anything else, because

744
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:15.280
we've come on, we've seen cars
come and go, We've seen in basketball

745
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:17.639
come and go. Right right,
this last clip we want to play because

746
00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:22.400
we we alluded to it during the
conversation with Troy Hutch and Sid talking about

747
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:25.239
the offensive line and why he feels
he's got a good one. Here's what

748
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:29.480
I had to say about his offensive
line. Yeah, I think the offensive

749
00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:34.159
line is a strength for our our
team. I don't know how many times

750
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:38.039
that's been set in Tucson over the
years. But you look at Jordan Morgan,

751
00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:43.440
you look at Jonah seven eh,
you look at Josh Baker, then

752
00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:45.960
you look at putting guys in.
Really whoa Whoa came in here as a

753
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:50.519
true freshman and started the last six
games last year. Now you've got Polido

754
00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:52.920
coming in, who's done a great
job. Now you've got veteran guys that

755
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:57.239
are six, seven and eight,
So now you have depth. Right,

756
00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:01.440
all eight guys or three hundred pound
plus. All guys are giving you power

757
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:05.880
and if we're able to move guys
around and be able to give you multiple

758
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:09.440
position value. So coach Carroll has
done an incredible job of not only recruiting

759
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:15.159
the right players but then developing him. Yeah, you know, and he's

760
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:22.440
right. I mean, I can't
ever remember going into a season thinking this

761
00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:25.239
offensive line is really really good and
that's really really good. I mean,

762
00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:29.880
it turned out that ninety eight offensive
line was really really good, but we

763
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:32.800
didn't know that going in. And
it's very rare when you say that at

764
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:36.599
Arizona, like he said, you
know, it's very rare. You hear

765
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:37.639
that. I mean, they got
a bunch of big guys. And that's

766
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:40.039
the thing that we've always talked about
with Arizona. You know, they don't

767
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:45.239
they never have the size on the
lines that you know, you know with

768
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:51.719
the US season, the Washington's,
Utah recently, you know, Oregon,

769
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:53.679
because those guys go, you know, that's where they start, right they

770
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:59.159
go get elite recruits on the lines, and Arizona just has never been able

771
00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:01.199
to get those guys. They brought
some guys in and they you know,

772
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:06.239
they've they're developing them into you know, in the big guys, which you

773
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:08.039
know, again you have to give
credit to to the strength coach, the

774
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:13.239
guy that came in from from Alabama, because he's he's you know, he's

775
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:15.599
giving. He's got this team some
side. Right. No, it's a

776
00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:22.320
lot to look forward to. We'll
see what happens early early and that first

777
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:28.039
those first three games, maybe they
beat Mississippi State. Maybe you better go

778
00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:30.840
get the over five? Yeah,
what's it? What is it? Plus

779
00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:34.239
over six? Plus? No?
No, no, no, what's the

780
00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:39.039
odds that the over five over five
is like a plus one or something?

781
00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:45.159
What about over six? I'm sure
it's gonna be one fifty maybe two,

782
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:49.360
Yeah, I would think it.
Yeah. Still, we can talk about

783
00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:52.840
this tomorrow. But but you know, I'm leaning more that way than the

784
00:52:52.880 --> 00:53:00.679
other way. I sacrificed the dinner. I just more time with you,

785
00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:04.719
that's all. Yeah, I love
you, Steve. All Right, that's

786
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:08.199
that's our show. We'll be back
tomorrow. We'll get as much cool stuff

787
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:13.440
as we possibly can. We're working
on, you know, some Arizon coaches.

788
00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:16.559
We've got some TV guys coming up
this week, so we'll we'll just

789
00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:20.079
