the Fan in Store. One of the questions right that

41
00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:58,480
I've been asked time and time again to say, Hey,

42
00:01:58,519 --> 00:01:59,959
what is this step fens going to look like under

43
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:03,480
Kelly Papina as the defensive coordinator. What is it that

44
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:05,680
he's gonna do? How was he gonna execute it? Are

45
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:07,359
we gonna have a drop off? Is he gonna be

46
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:10,719
as good as Jay Hill? All of them are valid questions.

47
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:14,240
I love the conversation, I love the debate, I love

48
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:18,639
the the questions that come from kugarnation and Uh, I

49
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,080
think you're gonna see you heard you hadn't heard Kelly

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,080
on BA Sports Nation. We're gonna try to get him

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,599
on the show as well this week, try to get

52
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,599
some inside and commentary maybe piggyback off of the questions

53
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:31,759
that b A Sports Nation UH was asking about the

54
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:35,479
future of this Bayu defense. Uh, but I'm very optimistic,

55
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,240
extremely optimistic about the defense going forward with K Pop

56
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,879
at the helm. Uh, He's definitely earned it. Uh. Let's

57
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:42,560
talk a little bit about the future of this defense

58
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,000
under K Pop with a former by U Great Super

59
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,520
Bowl champion. We got Brady Papinca on the line. Brady,

60
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,919
how the heck are you, buddy? Always a pleasure talking

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,840
ball with you, Brady, like I like ever since the change, right, everyone,

62
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:00,199
you know, everyone's concerned about losing Jay, which you know

63
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,960
we do reason We all love Jay. He's a fantastic

64
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,039
coach and we wish him well. Gennaro was a loss. Uh,

65
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,520
but uh, everyone asked me, Hey, Ben, what what type

66
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,879
of defense is k Pop going to be running? What

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,919
is it gonna look like? What is it gonna feel like?

68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,520
What type of play caller will he be? Give me

69
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:19,360
your your eval and I know, look, I'm asking the

70
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,080
big brother here. You're you're as familiar with Kelly's strengths

71
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:26,360
as you are with these weaknesses. Uh, you've watched it

72
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:28,680
up close, you've watched it from afar. What type of

73
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,680
defense do you think Kate Pop's going to be running

74
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:32,120
next year in the years to come?

75
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the biggest thing is you're you know,

76
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:38,120
Kelly is not a guy that's gonna be delusional here

77
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:39,879
and right, I mean he's looking at this like this

78
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,240
defense for the last two years has been really good.

79
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,120
I would say, you know, very almost to the point

80
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,039
of being a dominant defense. And there's no reason to

81
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,879
change that, you know, especially when you got guys they're

82
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:56,639
all coming back that you can build on what they've

83
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:58,599
done previously. Like that's to be one of the most

84
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,000
valuable things gonna in my career, I was always asked

85
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,840
to do something different almost every year from when I

86
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:06,560
was the freshman in college all the way to my

87
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,199
last year in the NFL, which was a twelve year span,

88
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,560
and it was hard. It would have been really nice

89
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:14,680
just to be able to stack years one on top

90
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:16,560
of another, you know. You here Don Beck talk about

91
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,040
that a lot even in his career, where you know,

92
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,199
you just like to be able to just grow on

93
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:24,079
what had been done previously. And so when you take

94
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,879
all about it into consideration, how good they play and

95
00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:28,480
have a lot of guys coming back to the show

96
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,920
success in the same kind of scheme, there's no there's

97
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,360
no reason to try to change it.

98
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:32,639
Speaker 3: You know.

99
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: And then then at the same time, the final decision

100
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,720
of this defense comes down this money, you know. And

101
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,759
then that's also why Gary's there to be the kind

102
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,879
of the guysman through this whole thing, to keep them

103
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,720
true to what they do, because it's really good. The

104
00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:49,959
principals ended up really good. Their sound. They got some

105
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,680
really good change up in nuances that on a week

106
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,040
to week basis game planning wise, are really good. And

107
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,759
they're really good because they're complicated to the defa excuse me.

108
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,120
They're complicated how they are perceived by the offense, but

109
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:06,360
from the defensive perspective, they're quite simple. So they have

110
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:08,240
the illusion of complexity, you know, and if you look

111
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,720
at any strategists, like that's like the perfect sweet spot

112
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:14,519
where something to you can look, you know, really complicated,

113
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,319
but it's really a simple adjustment here, and that's what

114
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,720
you go for. So the base is there, the infrastructures,

115
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,920
they're sure. Kelly's probably gonna have some more of his

116
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,519
signature involved in that, which you know, i'd imagine to

117
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,439
be some of the Broncos stuff, you know, the Cover six,

118
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:30,920
Cover four, you know, some of the traps Cover two

119
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,040
kind of stuff maybe, but that's pretty much it. And

120
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,680
and by the way, all that stuff compliments already what

121
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,959
BYU does you know with the single Stafey stuff. I

122
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:42,680
mean Cover six, as you know, Ben, you ran that

123
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,279
for how long?

124
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:43,519
Speaker 3: Yeah?

125
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: You know, you were pro.

126
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:48,079
Speaker 3: And we ran it. We ran a ton of Cover six.

127
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:50,600
I was like, I got I was like, I tried

128
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:53,199
to mix up my alignment every single time we called

129
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,519
cover six. So I was like, so they don't I'm

130
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,759
like pressing one time, I'm playing at eight, acting like

131
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,759
a four cross an other times and coming down with

132
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,720
the snap. I was I was trying to give different

133
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:07,720
looks at different times for certain Yeah, but I.

134
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: Bring up that because and again I don't know if

135
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,720
he's gonna actually do it, but it looks a lot

136
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:15,319
from a quarterback standpoint, you can make Cover six look

137
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,720
a lot like Cover three and post course corner stuff,

138
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,439
and then you think, oh, I got we got the seams.

139
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,839
If we get them, you know, in a specific formation,

140
00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:24,160
we got some weaknesses, but all of a sudden they

141
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,920
shift to six and those weaknesses aren't there anymore because

142
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:29,040
it's a compliment to Cover three. So you have that,

143
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,240
and it's a really strong run defense, you know, with

144
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,000
the with the split safety look and a split with

145
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,759
split safety concept too. So it's it's a nice comment.

146
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,639
Maybe it's something they do and that would be that

147
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:40,480
would be the extensive that I imagine it would go.

148
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,000
But like I said, if if you're smart, like Kelly's

149
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,720
really smart, you know, look, this has been working. You're

150
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:49,199
gonna keep doing what's working until it doesn't work anymore,

151
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,439
no doubt.

152
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 3: One of the things I've also brought up is is this,

153
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,879
I don't know if we've had as much talent on

154
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,879
the defensive side as we've had over the last couple

155
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:02,079
of years, and it continues to look like it's going

156
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,199
to improve. The clay is good an artist into each

157
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:07,759
good clay, and so a good artisan with good clay.

158
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:11,680
It sounds like it's going to be. Uh, I'm pretty optimistic.

159
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,920
Uh with with all that, you know, the talent that

160
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,439
Byu has in the in that locker room.

161
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,959
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think the and Kelly said it, I

162
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
believed is one of his interviews where he hits a

163
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:27,160
theme of competition, and I think that'll be really fun

164
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,639
because as you get more and more good players, more

165
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,879
and more of them are deserving to play, but there's

166
00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:35,399
only a love of spots, right, and so that just

167
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:38,199
creates an internal competition to where guys are going to

168
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,920
be more caught up and competing in terms of making plays,

169
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:44,839
which I think is the ideal scenario where you want

170
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:47,079
your kids to be is you want them to compete

171
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,360
against each other and the scoreboard is making plays versus

172
00:07:52,439 --> 00:07:55,720
worrying about the opponent, because the opponent you should just

173
00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:58,839
be nameless, faceless, it's just it's just there. But to

174
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:00,319
go out and be like, man, I got to go

175
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:02,800
out and makes big plays today to get more plays

176
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,600
or to keep you know, the hot hand going. That's

177
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:07,839
a healthy place to be because when everybody's doing that,

178
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,279
it's an internal synergy that takes everybody's level play to

179
00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:14,120
a whole new level. And if you have enough guys

180
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,720
to pull that off and that the coaches can be

181
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:17,959
disciplined and you don't have to be a jerk about

182
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
it from a coaching standpoint, where you're you know, you're

183
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,360
pulling guys out every time they make a mistake or

184
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,879
every time the other guy makes the plays. You're you know,

185
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,920
you're not all of a sudden benching the other person,

186
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,720
but you're you're letting them know, like, look, you know,

187
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:31,720
if you do get in a rut, we have somebody

188
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:33,200
here that can come in and make plays. And then

189
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,240
at the same time, and this is what it's going

190
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,960
to be challenging for Kelly and this the staff is

191
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,039
you have to be able to fit these guys in.

192
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,559
You have to have scheme flexibility, scheme creativity to get

193
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,240
your talent on the field and the eleven best guys.

194
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:47,440
People don't realize your eleven best guys need to be

195
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,399
on the field, but your eleven best guys change per situation,

196
00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:55,039
and so that takes scheme creativity, takes a situation for recognition,

197
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:58,159
takes you know, recodition of understanding how you're gonna defend

198
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:01,000
an offense. And those are the challenge that this bass

199
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,559
is going to be confronting, and I'm sure it's one

200
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,840
they're looking forward to and because it's fun from a

201
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,639
schematic standpoint, and so this is this is really good,

202
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,840
you know, to have enough horses in the barn to

203
00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:13,120
so to speak to where you can do that. You

204
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:14,960
can run a lot of different schemes. You could have

205
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,879
that interurial competition going and then at the same time

206
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:20,519
have that challenge of how do I find a role

207
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,759
for everybody, because you can't just abandon guys. You know,

208
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,600
there's guys that are probably you know eleven a you know,

209
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:29,080
when you're talking to your eleven mes guys when it's

210
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,840
a you know, tough running team you're playing against versus

211
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:34,240
other teams that maybe spread you out throat. Okay, maybe

212
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:37,159
they're you know, twelve thirteen. Well you got to still

213
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:39,000
be able to help them to be incorporated in the

214
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:41,320
team and help them incorporated into the scheme, but not

215
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,399
ask them to do something that's outside of the willhouse.

216
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:46,240
So those are all fun challenges that these these coaches

217
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,600
are going to be dealing with. And you're right, it's

218
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,120
a good buy product because it shows that you have

219
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:54,360
a sleut talent. Relatively speaking, I would say you're correct.

220
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,080
There's more talent than we've been been seeing. It be

221
00:09:57,159 --> 00:09:59,399
like you know, a long time, and the recruited class

222
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:02,480
shows as much. And uh, the status shows, you know,

223
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:05,480
the being able to pay player shows and so that's uh,

224
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:08,000
for surely's new reality that these guys are dealing with.

225
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:11,039
And like I said, it's it's the challenge is the scheme, flexibility,

226
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,200
creativity and understanding situations.

227
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:18,039
Speaker 3: Brad vinga here on your Utah ESPN Radio Network talking

228
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,919
to BYU Football and the future of b YU football

229
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,080
here on Cougar Sports. Brady, when you look at the

230
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,639
h the acquisitions via the portal, we see a couple

231
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,559
of linebackers, Katie lave j Clifton, one from CAL one

232
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,799
from UH Kansas Kansas State. UH. You look at three

233
00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:41,399
offensive lineman Pockey Finow, Junior Sia and Zakiyamauchi al from

234
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,799
p or one two from P four programs and then

235
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,480
Junior coming from Utah State, Kyler Casper, a wide receiver

236
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,759
from Oregon. Two tight ends Roger Sally Apaga from Oregon

237
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:57,759
and then Walker Lyons from UH from from USC and

238
00:10:57,799 --> 00:11:00,759
then Javin Williams Mississippi State. What stands out to you

239
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:03,320
about the transferport class and the guys that are going

240
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,919
to make an impact this next season, Well, what.

241
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: I liked about it is we fortify our offensive line

242
00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:11,399
because if you're just for example, looking at offensive line

243
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,080
from a death standpoint, performer standpoint of last year, you

244
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,440
know you're not losing a ton of guys and you're like, man,

245
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,960
we're good. And so there could have been a tendency

246
00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:22,679
by Klannie and the staff to be like, oh, we

247
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,679
don't need to really be aggressive, and they were the

248
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,879
complete austite, which is like, man, that's exactly how you

249
00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:31,039
have to do. You have to basically fortify your your

250
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,279
your your up your front. You know, I like to

251
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,519
have seen them maybe be more active in our defensive

252
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,919
tackle spot. But that maybe shows what they think about

253
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,480
some young guys, because we do have a bunch of

254
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:43,279
young guys there too that are that are growing and developing.

255
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:46,480
But uh, but yeah, I think every year you're always

256
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,960
looking to fortify your fronts, no matter what you have

257
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,840
coming back, no matter how well they've perform it, because that,

258
00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:56,279
to me is the foundation of what by football flavor

259
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,120
is and that's the foundation of just football overall. You

260
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,840
got to have a really good front that can control

261
00:11:59,879 --> 00:12:02,720
the on the scrimmage and then uh and then offensively,

262
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:07,200
it was a priority to get man demand beating offensive weapons.

263
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,840
So you know that the big wide receiver cast for

264
00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:11,840
is last Ning's Casper correct.

265
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 3: Yeahs wide receiver from from Oregon.

266
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a that's a guy right there

267
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,480
that basically you're I mean, he's he's very similarly built

268
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:25,399
to uh Man, just the names. What what was our

269
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:31,879
other really tall light receiver very very recent there is Mitch.

270
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,480
It reminds me a lot of Mitch, but he has

271
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:36,559
a little bit more i would say flexibility, body control

272
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,679
at the top of the route. And so he's the

273
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,159
guy that if you're going to try to you know,

274
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,399
play us Manda Man like Texas Tech was doing against

275
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,360
us in that championship game and we didn't really have

276
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,159
a man beater, you know, somebody that makes you think

277
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,600
twice about playing Mando Man. That's hard. You know, he's

278
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:52,639
the guy that's gonna help that. Also, the two tight

279
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,200
end editions you mentioned are right in that Willhouse. Also,

280
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:57,799
is there meant to be missed, mismatched, you know, matchup

281
00:12:57,879 --> 00:13:00,519
nightmares for these defenses again, make it to where has

282
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:03,000
a defense you've got to double think or think twice

283
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,639
about whether or not you're gonna run mana man and

284
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,559
when we can do that. In addition to having our

285
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,600
quarterback or any game like we had with Bear, and

286
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:12,879
then just our overall running game in general, that really

287
00:13:12,919 --> 00:13:16,399
puts the defenses in mine. So I really liked all

288
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,799
of the additions they made, and I'm looking forward to

289
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:24,360
the younger guys too, developing and becoming you know, household names,

290
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,799
which I think is gonna happen. I think you're gonna

291
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:30,840
see guys emerge, you know, especially guys that you know

292
00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:32,480
light bulb turns on all of a sudden, they get

293
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,000
more opportunities and boom, like last year. You know, we

294
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:39,519
had body I got really immersed and was really starting

295
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:41,159
to be impactful, especially at the end of the year.

296
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:42,679
And then we had Nucy. You know, Newcy. I think

297
00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:44,799
as long as he can stay healthy. You know, he

298
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,200
had some some stuff he was dealing with, but man,

299
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,600
he was as dominant of a defensive player we had

300
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,720
all year by the end of the season, especially in

301
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,039
that game against George Tech. I mean, he was a

302
00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:57,600
difference maker. So you always see these guys growing, and

303
00:13:57,639 --> 00:14:01,080
that's I love that about how we're managing our roster

304
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:04,159
byu is, we're not just selling out to hey, let's

305
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,679
go buy a bunch of talent, although we do. You know,

306
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:09,399
we talk about these transfer portal guys, but at the

307
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,639
same time we're heavily investing in draft or not drafting

308
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:15,600
and development. But it's it's recruiting and developing there it is.

309
00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:18,080
It's kind of like drafting developing, same concept, but it's

310
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,960
recruiting and developing, which goes to show you, like, if

311
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,480
you're able to do that, that's really your your your

312
00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:26,720
mark as a good coaching staff because you're able to

313
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:31,200
take guys that have the the foundational skill sets that

314
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,480
you want you're able to develop them into contributors, you know, dominators.

315
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,639
That's that's huge, you know. So yeah, and then then

316
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:39,399
the onside, then the off the ball backers. You I

317
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,120
thought we added toughness, and the big thing I think

318
00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:44,039
we need is we need guys that can step into

319
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:46,200
if you looked at Texas Tech, because the Texas Tech

320
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,919
I thought had two really good inside linebackers that they're

321
00:14:49,919 --> 00:14:55,080
not gonna jump off any you know, physical trait metrics.

322
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,080
You know these guys, Yeah, they may rend pretty good,

323
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,960
but they're not big and fast. They're not these hard

324
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,840
hitting guys. But what they did, and I was impressed

325
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,200
because I watched very closely, was they've lined up their

326
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,879
defense and they executed precisely. I mean, I don't know

327
00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:09,360
if you guys remember that. I think it was like

328
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,399
a reverse pass with Parker. I mean, those guys didn't slinch.

329
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,039
I mean, they were everybody's in position across the board

330
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,679
and specifically these backers. So we get more of that

331
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:21,679
out of our inside guys, because that's why I think,

332
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,639
you know, last year, and by the way, it's just

333
00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:26,120
how our defense is. It's a heavy dose defense. You know,

334
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,480
they're gonna have a lot of layers to it. If

335
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:31,120
we can get that where our linebackers can line us up,

336
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:34,000
help us execute at a higher rate. It just want,

337
00:15:34,039 --> 00:15:35,919
you know, make plays where they're supposed to make plays,

338
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,799
fit the gaps where they're supposed to fit the gaps.

339
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:39,799
That right there is going to take our defense to

340
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,039
home a level. So so I like those I like

341
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,039
those editions, And like I said, I think I think

342
00:15:45,039 --> 00:15:47,639
our off season so far looks really good. Now you

343
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:50,000
never know, so you actually go play, you know, guys

344
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,879
have to go show them. But on paper, we're looking good.

345
00:15:53,799 --> 00:15:56,799
Speaker 3: Let's transition over to super Bowl talk. It was the

346
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,919
grand finale of the season. Any people thought that the

347
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,720
actual Super Bowl was the Seahawks versus the Rams. But

348
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,080
this is a defensive showcase, right, a little bit of

349
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,799
a pitchers duel, if you will. Seattle was in control

350
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,000
for most of it. They ended up winning the game. Obviously,

351
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,559
they are the they are the champions, and congratulations to them.

352
00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:20,000
But what did you make of the game? What stood

353
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:20,679
out to you about it?

354
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,879
Speaker 2: Well, let'stood out a bet. It is John Schneider, the

355
00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:26,840
general manager of the shah seahawse. He and I go

356
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,600
way back man. He he was a big reason why

357
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,279
I ended up in Green Bay. He's a big reason

358
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:35,440
why they signed me to a contract extension and to

359
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,639
see him have success because I know how he wants

360
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:39,600
to build teams, and by the way he builds, he

361
00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:42,639
build the teams very similar to how Uyu does. He

362
00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:46,159
builds the teams based off a competition. Can I remember

363
00:16:46,159 --> 00:16:49,279
one time he got all drunk. Man, it was funny.

364
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,360
We're at the nakes Giving party. I've told this many times,

365
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,159
like I just love telling you about him because it's

366
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:57,159
so Josh Snider. We're at this nakes Giving party and

367
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,240
he's he's a little younger, you know. I think I

368
00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:01,879
think we maybe three or four years apart in age.

369
00:17:02,639 --> 00:17:04,359
So we had some mutual friends and that's why we

370
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,920
have this party together. After we had played the Dallas

371
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,359
Cowboys on Thanksgiving back in oh seven, and that was

372
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,160
the game where Brett Farber got hurt. Aaron Rodgers comes

373
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,000
in and just lights it up and everybody's like, Ooh,

374
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:17,720
Aaron's gonna be really good. So we're at this party

375
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,799
and he's just drunk out of his mind and we're

376
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:23,039
talking and he's yelling right because there's some music in

377
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:25,160
the background, but he's drunk. And when people drink, some

378
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,000
people they just start yelling. And he just starts yelling

379
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,039
at me. He goes, you know, far from I'm like, yeah, bro,

380
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,039
He's like, we're done with him. He's like, we are done,

381
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,839
but that guy. He's like, we got our guy. And

382
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,480
I'm like, bro, you were really talking loud and he's

383
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:42,880
like am I. I'm like, yeah, Like that's pretty sensitive

384
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,880
information about here, man, you know, because Brett Farber is legendary.

385
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you know.

386
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: And so fast forward into the conversation and my wife's

387
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,920
standing next to me. He's like, oh, by the way,

388
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,960
Brady's like, we're gonna give you a contract extench. I'm like, oh,

389
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,640
that's great, thank you very much for that. I'm looking

390
00:17:57,599 --> 00:17:59,359
at my wife. I'm like, how about that. And then

391
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,480
he's like, but don't don't get He's like, but don't

392
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,720
get sit on your laurels. We're probably gonna draft, you know,

393
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:05,759
so if we get a background your safe position in

394
00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:07,720
the first round, we're gonna pull the trigger. It's like,

395
00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:09,799
we just we just draft football players. We let you

396
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,400
guys decide it on the field, you know. And I

397
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,480
was like, hey, that's cool. And then Lobo last forward

398
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,160
to when we came back to work on that Monday.

399
00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:19,480
I'm getting my pass getting ready to go out to practice,

400
00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:22,759
and I hear this this yelling of my name, Brady, Brady, Brady.

401
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:24,519
I'm like, what the you know, what's going on? I

402
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:26,759
turn around his John and he comes up to me.

403
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,119
He pulls me aside. He goes, Brady, whatever I said

404
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:34,279
last week, do not repeat it between us. I'm like, okay,

405
00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:37,480
we're good, and uh so, yeah, he's he's a stunt man.

406
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,960
I'm really happy for him. He's the first general manager

407
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,240
to win the Super Bowl with two different teams where

408
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,640
there's zero players on each one of those teams, different coaches.

409
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,359
I mean, he is the epitome of how you build

410
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,920
football teams, and he learned it from one of the greats,

411
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,440
Ted Thompson Ron Wolfs. Again, those are Green Bay Packer guys.

412
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,880
And so that's my background, by the way, and how

413
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,160
I perceived teams build. You build it off competition, and

414
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,000
then you go after football players. I think so many times,

415
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,160
you know, recruiting wise is the same thing. You get

416
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,279
so caught up with these intangibles. Are are they? Are they? Tall,

417
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,799
are they long? Are they fast? I mean, there's certain

418
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,519
measurables that ye are minimals. But man, just get football players.

419
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:20,160
Just get guys who are tough, have face diversity, and

420
00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:22,720
just love to play the game. And guess what, there's

421
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,960
no scheme flexibility out there, especially if you're creative to

422
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:28,119
sit those guys in. And I mean that's how the

423
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,079
Seattle Seahawks team is built. And like I said, I

424
00:19:31,079 --> 00:19:32,640
see a lot of similarities with how we do it

425
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,160
at Uyu and it's very validating. And like I said,

426
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,400
I'm really happy for John and for what he's been

427
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,319
able to accomplish.

428
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: Brady, who's your way too early favorite to win the

429
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,720
Super Bowl in twenty twenty seven. It's gonna be.

430
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: The Seahawks until somebody knocks him up to the Toto balls.

431
00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:51,359
The same with the Eagles last year. And the Eagles

432
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,200
looked amazing, and you know they have some issues and

433
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,599
allow the Seahawks to be merged. But I mean, the

434
00:19:56,599 --> 00:19:59,079
Seahawks are built to be good for a long time.

435
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:02,279
I mean that Russell Wilson trade, Man, they got some

436
00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:05,559
good draft picks out of that. I mean, because I'll

437
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:08,119
tell you it just Jarns Stander does not miss very often.

438
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,920
Relatives you're always gonna miss, but relative to to the

439
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,599
other teams and how they hit or miss on draft picks.

440
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:18,079
So they're gonna get some really good rookies in there.

441
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,200
These guys that had the experience this, ye're gonna grow,

442
00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:24,240
you know. I mean, they're only gonna get better. And

443
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,200
and I'll tell you the biggest thing for Seattle though,

444
00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:30,759
was getting that home field advantage because they are just

445
00:20:30,839 --> 00:20:34,319
a completely different team up in Seattle. Man, when you

446
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,440
got the twelve, just rocket. It's the loudest stadium I've

447
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,440
ever been in, and they play at a different pace there.

448
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:43,759
It's like a completely different team when you're playing up there.

449
00:20:43,759 --> 00:20:46,039
And that's you know what they they had when they

450
00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:47,880
were playing the Rams and then the forty nine ers.

451
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,599
The forty nine ers, Man, it was like over first

452
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:52,599
quarter and a half, it's like a blitz, you know.

453
00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:55,000
But but yeah, you know, obviously I always go with

454
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:56,720
the champion until somebody knocks them off.

455
00:20:58,519 --> 00:21:02,759
Speaker 3: They go Brady for Pengal gentlemen. Brady. Last thing key

456
00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:08,240
storylines for spring ball, it's it's right around the corner.

457
00:21:08,839 --> 00:21:11,880
Is there one key storyline you're gonna be evaluating, is

458
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,599
it QB two, RV two, is it the defense? What

459
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,119
do you got?

460
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: I want to see how it's managed, because you know,

461
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:21,319
there's a lot of money right now being paid to

462
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,240
these kids. I don't know if it's a good idea

463
00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:26,799
to do the traditional spring practice where you pat them

464
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,480
up and you have them go out and you hit.

465
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,119
I'm thinking and it's just I'm curious to see how

466
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,000
it's Kwane has it as you turned this into the

467
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,680
NFL kind of mini camp where you have them go

468
00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:41,160
run around a little bit, work on their schemes, walk throughs,

469
00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:45,160
jog roots, and then just save everybody, you know, save

470
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,200
them for the season. To me, there's no reason to

471
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,599
go put pat these guys up unless they're young. You know,

472
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,200
maybe some of these young guys that because look, there's

473
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,759
bubble guys. Remember now we now that there's roster limits,

474
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:58,319
there's money above, there's bubble guys. So yeah, maybe with

475
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,720
the bubble guys, you know you're gonna want to go see, hey,

476
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,880
hour like guys should come back on missions. I don't know, uh,

477
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,400
and just see what they're liking. Pads to get idea, Hey,

478
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:08,440
we need to move in different directions because they will

479
00:22:08,599 --> 00:22:09,640
you know, I think last year.

480
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:09,839
Speaker 3: We had.

481
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,519
Speaker 2: Leave a spring Bear after Spring. So there is some

482
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,759
value in some guys playing. But like I said, I

483
00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:20,240
said more majority of the guys, do not pat him up.

484
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,240
Just let them, you know, get out there, run around

485
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,920
a little bit, let him run through the scheme. You know,

486
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:28,599
whatever nuance is Kelly's gonna bring. You know, that's the

487
00:22:28,599 --> 00:22:30,720
opportunity for him to do it. It's great for Bear

488
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:34,400
and Roderick to finally just tail down their exact offense,

489
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,960
which which I'm sure it's a lot like what we

490
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,079
saw in the last part of the season, uh, but

491
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,440
with more running that now Bear is healthy but still

492
00:22:43,519 --> 00:22:46,359
front ball m of uh. I mean I could see

493
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,599
us doing a lot or at times high temple empty

494
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,759
stuff with Bear because he's still a running back. You know.

495
00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:54,960
That's still very similar to if you go empty, if

496
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,960
you have a tight ms like running eleven Verson ol

497
00:22:57,519 --> 00:22:59,319
because he'sier, he's your other.

498
00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:00,319
Speaker 3: Back, you know.

499
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 2: But then he has the option to used the quick

500
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,160
game like he did so well against George Techna. George

501
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,799
Tech threw everything out him and you have it well.

502
00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:07,880
So I mean, that's gonna be fun. To me, like

503
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,119
to see that offense and evolved this year with these

504
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,400
guys having a full off season and how smart Fair

505
00:23:14,519 --> 00:23:18,559
is and how you know, forward thinking and creative Roder

506
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,079
kids and his offense stop. That's gonna be exciting.

507
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,720
