All kinds of things that we're going 24 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.560 to cover in a minute. But you know, there were some other events 25 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.240 on campus today that is old legacy five k thousands of participants. Yeah, 26 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.800 one of our very own Pete and his friends and family did the did the 27 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:54.240 run. We should have did the run, but it was, you know, 28 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.240 too much time ahead of it. Yeah, we wanted to do it, 29 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.520 you know, which had to get chu chu. But he was a 30 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:07.919 little was dressing all black and he said, it's Johnny Cash, that's what 31 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.719 you got to dress up like that. I knew he was sweating til he 32 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.400 got out of there. Yeah. Man, a lot of people out there 33 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.080 there, beautiful weather. As we said, I mean the thousands of participants. 34 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.759 So did a phenomenal job in the older bit. Yeah, and also 35 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.719 it's it's been a good thing where people turned out, showed up, a 36 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.080 lot of people on campus. Uh, we have our baseball, our softball 37 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.360 team that was competing. Hopefully softball did getting rained out and they finished the 38 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.800 game. But it's a lot of traffic, a lot of support. Yeah, 39 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.759 growing was here. Had a strong showing against Miami Temple and Tulsa this 40 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.240 morning on Lake Ovid and Sleepy Hollow State Park. Yeah, if you ever 41 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.479 been there, that facility is obviously phenomenal. It's a brand new facility. 42 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:57.800 But it's right on the water. They're rolling. Man, it's on the 43 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.879 sand. It's on the sand. But if you had any chance to go 44 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.800 out there to the to the boat houses chet oh man. You know, 45 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.800 talking about the other events, baseball wins twelve to two or for Western Illinois 46 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.439 in game one with doubleheader, Oh yeah last night, man, it was 47 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.800 under the lights. It was pretty nice when they won. You know, 48 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.079 you have the flickering the lights. You know, we do the little fan 49 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:23.680 engagement goes in and out, but we all we all all about spartans wins 50 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.920 and this is good for baseball. It was good. Yeah, Baseball did 51 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.839 the win. Softball had a loss, they lost five to nothing in the 52 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.720 Minnesota, but still some positive things. Absolutely absolutely. You know, we 53 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.000 have a first new head coach for year one, so you know you're gonna 54 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.720 have those pans and games, but she's coaching them up, getting that standard, 55 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.680 switching the tie from the culture standpoint. So uh, keep the support 56 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.439 because they has some big wins. But I think next year is gonna be 57 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.560 obviously the next next one we're gonna look forward to. Before we get any 58 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.160 further, we got to make sure that Harriet Dean gets a shot out. 59 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:04.199 What's up? Mary Smith? Tatum to hear Steve out, oh man, 60 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.600 people, the players are here signing it. You know, it's a it's 61 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.480 a it's a family affair here in East Landsley, you know, talking about 62 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.319 the hardest schedule for Michigan State, they're saying that Mischigan State now is the 63 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:23.759 number two hardest schedule in the country when you look at the entire nation here 64 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.279 only South Carolina being harder than Michigan State coming up at sixty two point seven. 65 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:34.519 Listen, we talked about this that one. If we just compete and 66 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.240 we win the games that we need to win, and we need to beat 67 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.720 that team down the road. I think that's just the strength of schedule gets 68 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.759 us to obviously the Bowl game eligible. But I think that once we put 69 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.519 the the chemistry going on and then we start clicking, we still got a 70 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.079 fall, we still got off season the summertime, we still got the training. 71 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.319 So capitalize on what happened in spring, which we're gonna update on the 72 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.959 second half of this. But I think it's gonna be great that I'm I 73 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:01.720 want it. I want the competition. You know, you want to be 74 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.439 on the national spotlight, and so when you have those wins, there's solid 75 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:10.800 wins. So I'm looking forward to that. You're right about that. Speaking 76 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.360 of Harriet Beings the gymnastics update, you know, we talked about the n 77 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.959 c A Championships, the lady and in both Gavin Stevens Uh, We're gonna 78 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:28.839 take a little video here and see how they performed. Otis Listen, I 79 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.759 wish I could give you a breakdown of like what he but Harriet could give 80 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.240 us a break she really could, you know. I think I think the 81 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:47.279 standpoint of bring them beer right right right here, right here, there's a 82 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.560 little breakdown here. We put Harry on the spot here, so I got 83 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:57.879 right here Harriet. So, Harry has been a long time supporter of gymnastics. 84 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.800 I've known Harriet. I was playing days. Yep, Harriet has a 85 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.759 bus that all of our former players. I mean, we talked about calculating 86 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.199 how many people have signed that bus. Right, It's like three thousand former 87 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.680 Spartan dogs all across our sports signed that bus. But she's a long time 88 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.920 supporter. And you're in charge of what we don't say booster club. Well 89 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:25.079 no, but I'm president of the gymnastics former booster club now just called the 90 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.600 Perfect ten point oh Club. And this year I'm actually president of the Downtown 91 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.279 Coaches Club, which the official booster club football. So I got my hands 92 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:38.519 full, got hands full. Well, we talked about our gymnastics program and 93 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.959 from what we've endured to coach micro coming back and turning it to what it 94 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:48.319 is now. Just to have two representatives at the national Championship to be competing 95 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:53.800 is a huge testament to what he's done. But talk about Delaney, talk 96 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.560 about Gabby and what they did. I know you were watching. We talk 97 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.319 about both of these young student athletes are simply amazing. And what the leini 98 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.319 is doing now is gymnastics is partially artistic when you're on the floor, and 99 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.639 it's partially elements that are required that they do. So right here, some 100 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.399 of what the lady's doing is simply artistic. So she's getting the audience to 101 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.040 believe in her and to follow her and to love her. And so she's 102 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.879 just now here comes the first element and the elements that are passed, as 103 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.199 they call them, and here she goes. Now, that is so much 104 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.679 harder than it looks, and what she did was darn near perfect. She 105 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.000 had a little tiny bobble with her foot at the bottom, which may have 106 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.039 cost her a little bit of a deduction. They start with a ten point 107 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.639 zero and then they deduct from there. So this is again artistics that she's 108 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.360 doing right now, but it's also part of the copulation of her score. 109 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.519 So she's putting out a heck of a show right here, and she's also 110 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.519 fiercely competitive. And then in a minute she's going to work her way over 111 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.519 to do this is an element. Also, these are the jumps. They 112 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:05.159 have more technical names than that. So forgive me for not knowing the way 113 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.799 trying to do her second pass, which is a required element in order to 114 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:18.759 reach the ten point zero standard. So here she goes, and she goes 115 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:24.279 right here, she takes a deep breath, extremely extremely difficult, and she 116 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.240 nails it right there. So she absolutely did a perfect landing, and she 117 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.200 knows that you can see her right right now. Did the rest of the 118 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.840 team go there to give her the support, because I think that's also the 119 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.840 club being there with her. Rest of our teammates are there to cheer her 120 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.440 own, especially when he does this. But talk so abby on the beam 121 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.759 is the work of art. She is absolutely amazing. What you don't realize, 122 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.240 if people don't realize, is that is four inches wide. It is 123 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.919 four inches wide. Most people can't even walk the beam, let alone look 124 00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:01.639 at this book that's now right there. She lifted her but that's what cost 125 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.799 her, you know, for her her highest score. But it's amazing. 126 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.240 Right here. That's an element move. That's a required move is to have 127 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:15.320 some kind of a spin or a turn, and here she is. All 128 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:20.639 of this is somewhat artistic, but it's also elements. And then she's prepping 129 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:28.559 to do right here, right here again, I mean amazing, work absolutely 130 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.080 amazing being work well. Here we appreciate this man, because this is this 131 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:41.799 is how we should before we are expert. That jump that she just did 132 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.919 is absolutely flawless. I mean, and here she comes, this is this 133 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:52.440 is going into her dismount. Watch this and a tiny tiny hop in there 134 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.519 that kept her from kneeling it. Whoa. We're going to have that segment. 135 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:07.120 Most of this is a future segment. Always thank you. How awesome 136 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.039 is that? Man? I mean to she's always yeah, it's delivered. 137 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:18.720 Here you go, all right, outstanding man. I mean, we got 138 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:26.759 a full breakdown of all elements, all things.

It's a little rainy, but it's drying up. 154 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.559 Ain't nothing but a little rain ain't don't hurt nobody. So look, 155 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.000 we got players passing us right now, but we have a player sitting with 156 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.879 us right now in Jakobe Winman number four for missus state number one of your 157 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:07.200 what's something to Kobe?

Well it was it was good. 160 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.919 I don't yeah. Yeah, So as you wrap up spring and the spring 161 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.480 itself. Tell us about the feelings is like how you feel right now from 162 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.159 the spring now and now it's done and we're going to turn our page to 163 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.840 summer workouts. Tell us what you're going through right now from listen at the 164 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.679 standpoint I made for the most part, I feel pretty confident about this and 165 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.840 our team overall. It's really just a matter of, you know, putting 166 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:45.159 everything together. So the Spike mab was a good time to compete with each 167 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.159 other and just show what you can do on the field and off the field. 168 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.840 So I think it's a pretty good spring long something to build off, 169 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.799 something to look back on, you know, contique each other, get better 170 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:03.559 from it. And it's man, Jacobany, I'm gonna tell you I was 171 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.519 launch here in one on ones. I saw your team period. He's pretty 172 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.799 much unblockable, brother, you know, especially in that two minute. You 173 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:13.840 know, they let Peyton. I think I don't know if it was Peyton 174 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.799 that you got to that. If he wasn't wearing the red jersey, probably 175 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:18.360 would have been a sack, but you know, they let him to make 176 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.080 the play anyway. You know, Like, how do you feel about the 177 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.919 pass or skills and your linebackers to be able to convert from two point stance 178 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.840 free point stands. I feel like my pass rush is being a lot better. 179 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.960 You know, I'm trying to learn how to steal work new moves. 180 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.360 You know, go DT is a big part of you know, my past 181 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.039 rushing. He was very helpful and still so I just really trying to focus 182 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.000 on small details on So that's what I'm gonna try and through and then not 183 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:50.039 going to transition from n tow back and sit. That's been like, you 184 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:56.559 know, my main goal really working talking about the obviously the new coaching transition 185 00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:03.159 from change of bringing that coach coming in from the NFL experience obviously Stanford as 186 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.960 well, but talk about that transition of having like that first time being with 187 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.360 him in the spring and what are the elements that he's brought in that can 188 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.320 help you elevate your game. I think for the most part, I love 189 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.000 he is. You know, he's one of them coaches who has a lot 190 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.440 of experience. So he's not gonna yeah or nothing. He's not gonna be 191 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.639 roud about things like because he's big numberfore. He just more like, let's 192 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.879 go look at the fel Let's get a better off. Let's communicate as a 193 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.240 elon. Let's Russians one, you know, because that's that's what he's all 194 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.600 about. Russia's one one. That's awesome. Russians one. Coach Reno has 195 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:41.480 been real good man for me so far because I can't help working with him 196 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.639 in the fall. Yeah, based off of a spring last season. JAA. 197 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.799 Now this season, what are we gonna see from Chakoba women?

Uh 240 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:25.759 snel Hopper Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, what happened there? Is it? 241 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.440 Playing downhill? Hold on? Is it? Is it?

There we don't go, Yeah, there we go. 244 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:48.559 We're playing man and stuff. So I just turned zone. It's kind I 245 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.599 saw. Yeah, I'm just ending up in my favorite right now. Yeah. 246 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.359 So you told us you're like, you're not flashy? You don't you 247 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.480 don't do you talk trash? If somebody talked trash, I just let your 248 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.640 play talk. Yeah, I talked to myself when I talk to anybody else 249 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:03.920 in the field. All right, So what do you What do you tell 250 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.880 yoursel It's usually not very good. It's not very good. I'm usually very 251 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.519 hard on myself. Yeah, it's like, come on, cow, Yeah, 252 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:12.559 what do you what do you do? You call yourself in third person? 253 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.400 Or you tell yourself much name? I just dropped that I shouldn't say. 254 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.119 I got to dropped a couple of words that you shouldn't say. Oh 255 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:30.039 lot, why not? You know? Family here but a count. So 256 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.079 you're looking at the open body, the overall body of work for Misigan State 257 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.440 this spring. How do you think you guys stand in these fifteen practices? 258 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.039 You get better as a unit? Yeah, I think we got a lot 259 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.319 better as a unit. I think that we just communicated better and became more 260 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.880 confident, and we've been able to like work on little things and make sure 261 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.240 that we got better and focus on things and just get better every day. 262 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.920 Definitely, definitely, so mint. I'd ask the same question that Jacobe is, 263 00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:03.680 after you just finished Saturday spring game, what's your mental state of like 264 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:07.119 one you're gonna focus on school or like decompressed get ready for the fall, 265 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.160 summer and summer program. It's just nice singing out on the schedule because we've 266 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:15.400 been off every day's five six o'clock. Yeah, just getting to the subbies 267 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:19.599 by seven. Get to just step back from football once in a while, 268 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.240 and folks on school now because I need with the grades up, make sure 269 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:29.279 passing everything to call. I'm coming ready for the summer to just work on. 270 00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.759 Definitely, definitely. We love it. Man, Before we let you 271 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:34.279 go, I mean, just I see here your father's in the chat. 272 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.680 Gregory Holiday said, just remember your sister was the last to kick your ass. 273 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:49.640 Is this true? This is? Oh? No, gotcha, she 274 00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:56.519 said, gotch That's awesome man. I love it. Man. Oh, 275 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.519 look, we appreciate you spending time with us. I know you do some 276 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.000 stuff for it, but the luck to you next season. We'll be talking 277 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.359 to you, man. Yeah, get them guys going in the summer, 278 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:15.359 all right, Brother, thanks Dal Hallen. Yes, sir, all right, 279 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.359 So look, I mean otis is I look around. I mean those 280 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.240 are two great linebackers. I mean you look at the defense today. It 281 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.759 was extremely fast. It seemed like they were together. Uh you know, 282 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:33.960 missing ten players on defense that didn't perform in the spring game. That's a 283 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.200 lot for the level of talent that I was able to see out there. 284 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.279 I'm I'm looking forward to what Scotty Hamston the company are gonna be able to 285 00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:44.400 do come to fall. Yeah, and I think the main keys that everybody 286 00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:48.200 wants to know is that it is our secondary improved or is it revam more 287 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:53.519 so, because you got guys that got two young safeties yeah, freshmen by 288 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.640 the way, Yeah, Mango's about to be a sophomore. Ma leaksa two 289 00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.880 freshman. Yeah. You got guys like they say, Malice Spiser is that 290 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.799 guy who leads the team. And you've got Dialtatum who you know. We 291 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.839 talked to Dark Wesden on the sideline. He was saying that dark, uh 292 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:14.240 Dal Tatum was a guy who is physical smart and you need a solid corner 293 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.119 to be able to be able to detect things and things are coming their way 294 00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.400 and we still had one of our reserves guys and our our senior guys, 295 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.559 and and Chuck Bradley, who is nursing an injury, is gonna be in 296 00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:29.039 therapy and getting ready for the fall season. But I did like what we 297 00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:32.880 saw who was dressed, You saw things. You saw our guys getting to 298 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.880 the backfield quicker, which is is good because like we didn't get we didn't 299 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.000 get any hits on the QB last fall and that many sacks. So let's 300 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:44.559 turn that time to where we talked about that rose ball team, right, 301 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.359 Yeah, fly on, no fly zone. You knew when they slept on 302 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.079 the field what it was about business and gets smacking them out. And I 303 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.880 think that's where they're seeing that they gotta take that mantra and that mentality and 304 00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:00.960 and and attack that every day question. Man, we talk about the coverage. 305 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:04.319 If you can cover on the back end, it gives those defensive linemen 306 00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:10.279 a little bit longer linebackers to get home, which is getting that quarterback down. 307 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:14.200 We want to be able to put pressure on quarterbacks and if they're worried 308 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:18.160 about throwing the ball and turning it over, they're gonna hold on to it 309 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.839 a little longer, which costs the sacks, which then creates more opportunity to 310 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.200 the offense's which we can talk about next, and we talk about Chrisister State 311 00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:32.000 offensively. Everybody wants to talk about the quarterbacks, and we'll get to them. 312 00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:34.640 But the running backs look promising today when you look at Nate Carter, 313 00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:41.359 Jalen Berger and also Jaron Mango. Yeah, we Jared Mingo ram pass me 314 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:48.359 and this guy is a big running back. Yeah mind Jinchu to you, 315 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.799 I'm gonna tell him that is probably excited. You see somebody's gonna be back. 316 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.240 I can tell I think we're gonna have a one two three touch. 317 00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.880 You got a fast guy, you got a guy who's a combo guy. 318 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.799 That a guy is the power guy that has his speed. So I'm looking 319 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:06.640 to see who's gonna take the next step of like how do they share the 320 00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:11.000 rotation? But he also had the issues with the jaylen Berger and Hussar last 321 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:14.319 year. It's like they never could get in that grial rhythm and the rhythm. 322 00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.240 So how much are you gonna let them allow them to get in that 323 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:21.960 rhythm before you rotate it and get the game script or a players on the 324 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:25.240 game strip. Yeah, that's true. I mean, in Nate Connor, 325 00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:29.039 everybody's been wanting to see how he was gonna be as a player today, 326 00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:32.559 and smart fans got a tend to see how fast he was. You know. 327 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.480 Seem like Dolphins line played really well for him when he was in there. 328 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.440 I mean, the guy you know, has a nice burst and able 329 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.880 to pick up big chunk yardage when you need it. Absolutely. You know, 330 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.720 you always want to see guys get to the mid level when they break 331 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.839 that front line, and then get to the midline when the linebackers are able 332 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.119 to make a move and get to the secondary because once you get to the 333 00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.079 secondary, you're gonna have solid guys to be able to tackle you and get 334 00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:56.200 you down. And so I think it was good. It was a good 335 00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.200 motivating factor of what we got going into the summer. And uh, it's 336 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.000 all gonna get better because now you're gonna put weight on, You're gonna get 337 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.359 faster, you eat, you get you get tied to rest in between your 338 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.799 workouts. Yea, and what school is done, the finals are done, 339 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:12.880 Uh we'll be we'll be able to see what we got going on the summer 340 00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:15.480 leading into the fall camp. Oh. Hold up question. I mean you 341 00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.200 get some rest, You're right, I mean you heard from Cal Holliday here. 342 00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.440 You get a chance to focus on grades, which is not something they 343 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.400 don't do all the time. But they have less time in the football building 344 00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:33.319 in that practice now, which is always a welcome thing for football players when 345 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.119 the spring closes, you know, talking about the quarterbacks. Now, we 346 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.480 saw Peyton Thorn, we saw Nord Kim, and we saw Kyton Housing. 347 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:47.839 How do you think those three quarterbacks there today? Otis's It was tough to 348 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:53.319 to do an assessment there because you're not in a game like situation. And 349 00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:56.200 I think that's what we need to see, is like our quarterbacks are making 350 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.880 decisions in a game life situation. This see some team, but it wasn't 351 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:07.200 as like I say, elevated like one hundred percent. I did see each 352 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.480 quarterback make two solid throws. I think everyone wants to know is how quickly 353 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.680 are the decision making when things are coming every which way? And how do 354 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.599 we get the ball out quick enough? And I think that's where everybody's looking. 355 00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:23.519 Can we move the offense in the tempo consistently? Just you didn't see 356 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:30.519 anybody take us leap in the competition row because it was a scripted spring game 357 00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:34.839 practice. So I think summers it's gonna be our detectic factor. Detecting factor 358 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.920 there. I think you're right. I mean, all three quarterbacks show positive 359 00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:41.400 signs of things. You know. You look at Peyton Thorn. I mean, 360 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.920 he's the guy that's been there in the position for two years now. 361 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:51.319 He has the mental, the jump mentally on preparation for the teams that are 362 00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:55.000 coming up. He understands how it is. You look at a kim elusive 363 00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.039 in the pocket a guy it seems to be very accurate. Actually through the 364 00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:03.599 game winning touchdown pass, said saying Tony Ogates Junior in the back corner of 365 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:06.920 the end zone there on the nice state, which was beautiful that you saw 366 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.920 Kayden Houser. The on talent is undeniable from him and seeing what he's able 367 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.519 to do throwing through tight windows. He can get the ball downfield like you 368 00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:19.920 want to stretch of defense. So I mean it's going up. This competition 369 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.599 is definitely going into camp. It may go into the first couple of games 370 00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.160 of the season. I mean the question is do you really want that? 371 00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:30.759 If you really want where we're gonna we don't know who it is, but 372 00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.400 someone's gonna get the start. I feel like it's like a Hard Knocks fall 373 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:40.279 camp where you had a rookie quarterback man you had a vet and that basically 374 00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:42.279 say hey, we're gonna go with the rookie. And it's not just it's 375 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:47.359 intense, but like for you as a Spartan, we're fans and a loves 376 00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.720 now and we're immedia, but like Stan point of what are you feeling that 377 00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:55.240 decision making should be when you do name a starter? Can we give another 378 00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:59.759 opportunity faul Camp not to go in with a starting quarterback? Or we're gonna, 379 00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:02.720 like last week, right in the week of, we're gonna say, 380 00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:07.440 hey, he's our guys. I think they're gonna go into the season honestly, 381 00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.759 because you have Central Michigan, then you have Richmond. I think you're 382 00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:15.119 gonna see multiple quarterbacks play in those two games. Now when Washington comes to 383 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:19.359 town, and it's gonna be Michael Pennick Junior, a guy who has one 384 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:26.839 in Spartan stadium as an Indiana who's your quarterback beat Michigan State last year at 385 00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.559 home in Washington is now coming here to East Landson again you need to have 386 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.200 a quarterback because it's gonna be a duel of quarterbacks. They come in with 387 00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.960 a high powered offense, so I think it's gonna be then when you can 388 00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:44.799 really see. But everybody can play well in seven off seven. Some guys 389 00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.880 even play good in practice with the red jersey. It's totally different when the 390 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:53.880 live bullets are flying around in front of thousands of tens of thousands of fans 391 00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:59.680 and you're on national television, which every game mischister state is so in my 392 00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:03.119 OPI, and you know, yes, what you like to have us start? 393 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:04.599 I'd like to have a start the name now. But seeing where things 394 00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:10.799 are, I just don't see there being a clear cut person that's gonna say, 395 00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:14.599 Okay, he's the guy before summer and into the fuck because they need 396 00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:18.359 to be sure. These coaches want to be sure and out of this mark 397 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:26.160 nation once a winner they do. We talk about like he's from last season 398 00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.200 to spring so to summer training. It's like we need to figure out which 399 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:34.400 one of our transfers and which one of our incoming freshman additional guys that are 400 00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:40.440 gonna make some impact. We saw Jordan Hall. Jordan Hall is the guy 401 00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:42.240 that you have. He's a dude. Listen. Is as simple as that, 402 00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:48.640 he's a dude. Who Jordan Hall. I think he's in He's in 403 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:51.440 the building. He's in the building. He's in the building. Now we 404 00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:55.759 talk about some other guys and we got people, got the kids there also, 405 00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:02.279 I see my roommate behind you with this. Uh now one of the 406 00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.200 fastest corners I've been playing with. I played again, so I played with 407 00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.279 But it's just Jordan. Hey, man, come over here. Man, 408 00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:12.119 you've been on the show before. I come on, have a seat over 409 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.759 there, manor we're gonna talking about the spring. Okay, So look, 410 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:19.079 we got Jordan Hall joining the show.

Mama, mama, you come over here to come over here to 412 00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:33.279 they don't have to be in the background. Look, Jordan, Jordan stepped 413 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:36.400 on campus. When did you. Let's talk about it when you stepped on 414 00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:41.960 campus earlier in ro league and get the good video, get aditioning, now 415 00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.440 you got spring. Talk about that whole transition and how you feel it right 416 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:49.359 now? Put the way there you go. Who's a Who's a very long 417 00:31:49.440 --> 00:32:06.160 process in my hot hand January and he's going from meeting conditions too black. 418 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:15.440 I've seen this progression and talk louder too talk because you got people be hiding. 419 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:21.799 I've just been progressing these practice and just continuing to get better these practice. 420 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:24.640 Okay, man, look you look good out there today. I saw 421 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:29.839 you making plays. You're running sideline, the sideline, like, what was 422 00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:32.400 it like playing for your first time really in front of some fans. It 423 00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:36.759 wasn't a full cell yet, but in Spartan Stadium for the first time. 424 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.839 It was a great experience for me. I honestly, it wasn't expecting that 425 00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:45.279 the crowd to be that big, so walking in there and just seeing the 426 00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.519 love and support from from all the fans are really humbling experience. But it 427 00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.039 didn't last long, you know, I got to focus up. But I 428 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.680 definitely something off on this exercise. And it's always nice having Mama Hall, 429 00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:07.079 Mama Hall there home. Did you get a Mama Holl home cooked meal once 430 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:12.640 you got here?

Obviously finishing school because that farting is coming up, but like 436 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:43.319 summertime, summer workout program, what you're gonna focus on, uh, working 437 00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:45.240 on my fework. Well, I want to focus mostly on that during the 438 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:49.079 summer that we got a mother. So I just want to you know, 439 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.039 stronger, force, faster, become more physical. That's hey, you chos 440 00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:58.720 on a plane. You had the Memphis to to broadcast the game from the 441 00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:00.799 US side book and he says, Jordan Jordon Hall implussed me today. He 442 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:05.000 was on the field watching you. You know, like, what does it 443 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.760 feel like they have so many people who played before that are giving you compliments? 444 00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:12.519 Is they go to your head? Doesn't seem to you seem to be 445 00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:16.000 like I figured in tried man, Like what is that like? I mean, 446 00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:19.639 it's great for me. I tried not to let it get to my 447 00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:25.880 head. I try to just receive the positive feedback and it's a hundred thing 448 00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:30.559 from me pers especially when it's somebody taking the time out to you know, 449 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:34.760 kee under the We have a bunch of great players, not even just on 450 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.320 our team, but just in my position. In general, so being you 451 00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:42.639 know, kind of wanting to feel like somebody's watching integrate experience for me, 452 00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:46.440 and humbling EXPANSI for sure, we love you and we gotta hear from you. 453 00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:50.800 We gotta here for Mama Hall for a minute, and Mama Yeah, 454 00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:55.000 I'm like just say, hey, just see how you do it. Thanks, 455 00:34:55.079 --> 00:35:01.800 Jordan, appreciate you. Don't go far, just stay with it. 456 00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.119 Yeah, while Mama is getting set up here. Yeah, you know all 457 00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:12.159 the sudden the maturity, ah man, I mean I wanted to ask him 458 00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:15.760 because like, as a freshman, this ain't a technical pressman, No, 459 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:19.480 like this, this is what freshman looks like. Like if you put my 460 00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:24.280 picture with Jordan Hall coming as a freshman, it's like a pencil versus like 461 00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:29.840 this is a crafting man from the Lord himself. Right, God's bless this 462 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:31.800 man, and I think he's gonna have a great cold man and just keep 463 00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:37.039 up. Keep the baby cry comes into the fall to keep it up. 464 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:42.559 Good job man, And look you talk about the sculptor from God. This 465 00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:47.239 is one of the probably main reasons like in Mama Hall, how was it 466 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.880 being here today after traveling and seeing your baby performed in Spartan stadium for the 467 00:35:52.960 --> 00:36:02.360 first time. It was really really it was yeah, just seeing everybody. 468 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:08.159 Do you do you journey back to Like when he started, we asked this 469 00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:14.360 question. He was on the show The Journey of Young Jordan's to now College 470 00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:17.559 Jordan's like running out there with the uniform? Was it like a week we 471 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:22.079 made it feeling or like talking about that feeling just to step for Seeing him 472 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:30.880 finally hit that green field, it was like the we made it feeling house 473 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:37.679 and he was like, okay. Seeing him out there today was just like, 474 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:44.400 oh, here we go. How many calls do you get from here? 475 00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:47.480 Down there? Is the homesakey? Good? All right? Good? 476 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.559 Are you breathing? Yeah? I gotta do better. My mom does the 477 00:36:54.599 --> 00:37:02.000 same thing. I gotta do better. Yeah, okay, that's awesome. 478 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:08.079 I mean, because you transitioned from IMG to school like this, it's not 479 00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:10.760 easy because he's been gone. He's been away for at least like three and 480 00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:15.760 a half years already before this, and I know you like having your baby 481 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.079 around, but it's got to be comforting to know that he's been through this 482 00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:24.639 before and is able to just keep picking instride because there's other players. I'm 483 00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:31.440 sure other freshmen that may be struggling that he can help. He's done really 484 00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:39.000 well. It was just you know, like I am I mean here, 485 00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:47.480 it's like I got you know, if I'm understanding the question, if it's 486 00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:52.559 just you know, coming to year, if it was, it was just 487 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:55.519 like regularly for him. Yeah, he was ready to go. Do you 488 00:37:55.760 --> 00:38:00.920 what to do? Like the prep school format as you for this like this 489 00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:06.480 is yeah, well our question. And so you know, I know that 490 00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:10.360 you got in the stadium probably like I think there was early that was the 491 00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:14.239 rumor out there. They said that you know, no one wasn't not in, 492 00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:15.840 but Mama Halls, you were the first one that got a fifty yard 493 00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:19.360 mind set. You don't know how it happened.

Definitely talk about the 547 00:42:54.400 --> 00:43:00.000 tidy end, like culture of like what is a missed the state's tight end? 548 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.519 Body make now, like what's your what's the mission for that that that 549 00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:08.119 room?

They call it the twenty 594 00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:00.360 one club. Clearly I was twenty one. It's been a while for someone 595 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:06.239 wearing twenty one as like fully embracing him, like making some players out there, 596 00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:10.639 right, But like your son stepped up in that Penn State game when 597 00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:15.559 we had some injuries and talk about did you get a call from where he 598 00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.079 knew he was gonna get that starting job? Like talk about that. I 599 00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:22.199 can't recall the exact game, but yes, he didn't know when the dance 600 00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:29.280 was really good. Exc he's been sitting back and watching and waiting for his 601 00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:32.320 turn and working hard. We maxt year it is ready, ready to go. 602 00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.199 He stills a long hard of course. I mean you can sing the 603 00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:42.239 game, you kind of settle down to it, you're up there. But 604 00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:45.719 at the end of the day, I mean he's an athlete. Go out 605 00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:50.280 there, Jr. Child and support your team. That's really you do your 606 00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:53.920 job, worry about yourself. And then everything happened. Yeah, yeah, 607 00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:59.599 yeah, because you know, you talk about the spring and then I feel 608 00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:02.320 like he is, he's a patient guy and he wants to, you know, 609 00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:07.480 to happen now. For like, how was his frame leading into uh 610 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:10.880 today, what you saw on the field, Well today he didn't play because 611 00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:15.239 of the injury in right now, but I mean he's locked in. He's 612 00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:22.079 locked in one hundred and that on the field, in the classroom, and 613 00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.960 just doing whatever else it takes to take this entire team to the next level. 614 00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:31.559 To all the guys out here. You have to be all around. 615 00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:37.079 You can't just say I'm gonna play football. You have to embrace everything. 616 00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:45.440 This is your moment in time. You have four years and that's it. 617 00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:53.599 So you stepped four You're representing everybody from your hometown lead by it, and 618 00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:59.800 every time you meet him it's very what it's very oh man eyes, he's 619 00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:05.159 very aware. Man, what's going on? That's w He's await that's what's 620 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:07.960 which is great. You know, So this is is this your second spring 621 00:49:08.039 --> 00:49:14.599 game? Yes? Because last year yeah so k so, so this is 622 00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:17.000 your second time going around with this thing now? Right, So he didn't 623 00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:20.639 play in this game. I know that it was. He's got a little 624 00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:22.559 something he's dealing with, but he'll be fine, nothing to worry about. 625 00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:29.079 But looking at his progression as a dad, right, you knowing that what 626 00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:31.760 you've been telling him is like coming through. I don't know if it like 627 00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:36.840 sometimes I know parents probably don't see it, but do you see that he's 628 00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:39.559 growing yourself? Well, how do you feel about where Dylan is right now 629 00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:44.280 as a player. Well, one thing that kind of surprised it was he 630 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:47.559 was like, Dad, it's just taking in two months and him being and 631 00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:53.039 he's like Dad, everything is right here at my finger tips. I have 632 00:49:53.440 --> 00:50:00.639 no excuse to succeed. So this is just a matter of time. It's 633 00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:10.079 not it's kind of different smart exclaims. But now he's like coming out a 634 00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:15.480 little bit, like introverted a little bit, but it's a little bit. 635 00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:22.199 But now he's getting time, he's getting played. Man, he understands he's 636 00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:30.360 locked in the book exactly be done. You can't make it up. And 637 00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:37.519 once you we all know, once you invisit things. Speaking to Ali, 638 00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:42.719 absolutely that's true visualization. Your brain doesn't really know the difference whether or not 639 00:50:42.760 --> 00:50:45.920 it's really done it or not. So if you think it positive things things 640 00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:51.440 will happen positively for you. So if he's a guy who seems to get 641 00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:54.400 that more than your average freshman that's out there. I mean, to your 642 00:50:54.440 --> 00:51:00.719 point, we talk about every sporting evam, I'm at here, every one, 643 00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:05.800 bring one like it don't matter, like the basketball. He's there, 644 00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:08.960 and that's what you think about, Like he's enjoying the whole experience and the 645 00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:13.199 holistic approach to be have a student athlete's I caught it because it's like to 646 00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:16.559 your point, you get here, you break it is done. And that's 647 00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:19.760 what we always looking at that man back in my day, back in my 648 00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:27.320 day here like, oh my god, he was But then and I heard 649 00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.800 you could throw down on the brill and everything else. So my dad saying 650 00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:34.400 like, we don't have a put it off. You haven't set up that 651 00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:37.679 situ Michigan game.

It was just tough. Well, I actually 681 00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:57.400 got here little late and everything was good. Oh god, just you know 682 00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:00.400 here in the update you talk with the radio and just normal people's comments work. 683 00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:05.639 You know, you can only uh you can only help them be excited. 684 00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:08.280 Yeah, yeah, so you get the fields when you drive back to 685 00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:12.480 cancer, like man's gonna go back to where I grew up as a young 686 00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:15.480 man, or you became a man when you got here. But if you 687 00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:17.960 get excited or like you see all the new developments because we've knowne that we 688 00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:27.599 had had this. We were here very jealous, very jealous restaurants and they 689 00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:29.880 don't have to doings like us. When you slept on beings, I felt 690 00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:37.760 like concrete, totally different apartments. They got the sleep number mattresses. We 691 00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:43.079 didn't have alcabolic chambers all like yeah, yeah, look, you watched you 692 00:54:43.159 --> 00:54:46.800 watched football last season, but our season being in the secondary, knowing what 693 00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:52.440 it looks like, what did they need to do to get back onto the 694 00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:55.280 other side of the page here? Or we know we're coming out with all 695 00:54:55.360 --> 00:55:00.239 and that we're competing and this is the secondary alone because this is where I 696 00:55:00.440 --> 00:55:02.119 like to fuck big offensive lot. So I don't get a chance when I 697 00:55:02.119 --> 00:55:05.039 got to be yeah, yeah, I can die. I want to know 698 00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:08.840 what's idea about this and being like played in the league, understanding what it's 699 00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:13.480 still look like. How can we get better in this offseason? Right now? 700 00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:16.159 I honestly think we have the guys. You just need to effect the 701 00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:21.360 communication you can shall when watching the game. If the guys don't look like 702 00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:24.000 this communication to each other from the outside looking in, it's like, oh, 703 00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:27.679 another dude got beat. But like I believe that was the suication. 704 00:55:28.599 --> 00:55:31.280 You know, I think, you know, look like a certain thing. 705 00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:37.159 Yeah, the corner of the finding to THEA from the corner, and that's 706 00:55:37.239 --> 00:55:42.880 what I think that we can really stop our game. Like there's a couple 707 00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:45.199 of times me and him, he looking back for me and looking back to 708 00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:50.480 him. He's like, that's going on. Man, he's on the top. 709 00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:52.440 They'll be like, lock it up, you know what I mean. 710 00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:57.760 But that's what Doc Crust said on the sideline of the day when they to 711 00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:00.800 interviewed him and he asked him what does he think about the defensive back He 712 00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:05.159 said, I think because he's with them daily, and he said, I 713 00:56:05.159 --> 00:56:07.880 think they need to just get out of their head and play with them themselves 714 00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:10.400 and just play, you know. And that's one thing. That's the thing. 715 00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:14.960 You're right, because when Layman, even anybody who play other positions, 716 00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:16.639 we don't know what the hell's going on with the coverage just because we don't 717 00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:20.800 know the call so it may look like somebody got beat, but it's really 718 00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:25.079 not his fault necessarily, right, So when you see good defensive play, 719 00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:30.159 defensive play, there's a lot of talking. You can tell the talking communicating 720 00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:32.679 guys are movement and adjustice because there's a lot to see out there. Now. 721 00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:39.119 As a former player, what do you think about how there's the NIL 722 00:56:39.800 --> 00:56:44.480 transferred portal, all these things that really you guys didn't have to deal with 723 00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:47.280 that these players now have to deal with. I mean, they're signing autographs 724 00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:51.800 here today for money, but I think if you do it the right way, 725 00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:55.039 it could be fun. But what do you think about it to the 726 00:56:55.119 --> 00:57:01.400 game? And I half off the coaches because you have a different side of 727 00:57:01.519 --> 00:57:05.440 the people that have to deal with if you ever manage. You know, 728 00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:08.519 even for high school coaches from college station, they're looking at players more. 729 00:57:08.599 --> 00:57:13.079 Now we're walking into money. You know, it's a different dynamic. And 730 00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:15.119 then when they come into college, you have more to think about than just 731 00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:20.159 your grave about winning. That's what you also you want the players to think 732 00:57:20.199 --> 00:57:23.800 about. I'm happy for the players, and I just hope that every university 733 00:57:23.880 --> 00:57:28.039 who gets an opportunity to have the n I L deal but they'll surround the 734 00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:30.679 players with the right people in the right programs to the handle it and manage 735 00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:36.199 them. Yeah, that's answer. We always ask if we had n I 736 00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:40.000 L what would have been your first deal? What were your ideals the ideal 737 00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:43.159 deal? If you was like, I would love to be an ambassador for 738 00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:53.519 what that's a good question about it, Rick, you would have me look 739 00:57:54.559 --> 00:58:02.960 about, saying, Wendy for me, probably the engineering building in there all 740 00:58:04.079 --> 00:58:07.719 day every day, man, That's yeah, I would. I would come 741 00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:10.320 home and be like roll roll, oh, man, I'm in the engineering 742 00:58:10.360 --> 00:58:14.400 buildings like I don't see them. So we wake up in the water from 743 00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:16.960 the workout. Wow, that could even be a hard question. Plus former 744 00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:21.280 player, because we've never been Yeah, never had to think about it. 745 00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:23.880 We never had to think about that. So honestly, I probably even took 746 00:58:23.920 --> 00:58:30.280 any deal came. Yeah. We also worked together at the uh what's what's 747 00:58:30.320 --> 00:58:37.000 the place down? And remember the front front ground they had Remember that, 748 00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:40.280 man were painted the whole pool, painting the whole You guys are doing like 749 00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:44.880 we are. Manual label were working. This is like we had to work. 750 00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:49.119 Yeah, and we were in a factory making still wing gears. Guys 751 00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:52.400 losing fingers. It's terrible. I said, you know, I knew what 752 00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:55.920 I didn't want to listen, that's what I wanted as the clean curves. 753 00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:00.400 I was like, no, man, that's when I drawed. I was 754 00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:04.760 like, I was like, I'm done with this. Yeah heard Shampoor curves 755 00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:07.599 and what Yeah, he took off on. He took off on.

He 758 00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:17.199 wasn't about that manual label and then going into the running we had to work 759 00:59:17.239 --> 00:59:24.199 because that Yeah, yeah, but that stuff like that hells players with and 760 00:59:24.280 --> 00:59:30.079 I players not to fish the job because you don't know what come with their 761 00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:37.440 background is at home with more homes and give the opportunity. I like that 762 00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:39.199 part about it. I'm happy for the guys now man, if they're able 763 00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:43.199 to do it. So man, it's great.
