Speaker 1: not full of themselves, you know what I'm saying. They
Speaker 1: were just dudes.
Speaker 4: I got a chance to meet her, and you probably
Speaker 4: met her, right.
Speaker 1: But I did. She was fantastic. When he played here,
Speaker 1: we talked a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember. I think it was in San Jose.
Speaker 4: I want to say maybe when its in the regionals. Yes,
Speaker 4: and they lost, I believe, but I remember she She
Speaker 4: was at some pre pregame events and I never really
Speaker 4: knew her, but she was hilarious. A great person.

Speaker 1: then the rest is rest in peace, mister Bodley. Yeah.
Speaker 1: In fact, I was trying to I was trying to
Speaker 1: get some guests for today. It's not easy. I was
Speaker 1: going through the rolodexsident think, oh, there's bills a number,
Speaker 1: what's like, can't you call that one? Cause of uh?
Speaker 1: And we had him on if we had you never
Speaker 1: was on when he was alrighty, so he'd come on.
Speaker 1: We have fifteen minutes, right, Three questions, yep, three questions,
Speaker 1: that's all I remember.
Speaker 4: In the old days he would be on like the
Speaker 4: Dan Patrick Show, same thing, Hello Bill, Hello Dan, and
Speaker 4: he would just go go and he just would not stop.
Speaker 1: And you couldn't there was no segue. You couldn't jump
Speaker 1: in because he didn't stop.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: A personality, yeah, sure, Well.
Speaker 3: I remember one show that I was here, we played
Speaker 3: a clip or something and it was it was just
Speaker 3: like one question, right, Like fifteen minutes of.
Speaker 1: Right just goes out and we're looking at each other.
Speaker 6: What do we do?
Speaker 1: Just let him talk.
Speaker 3: The Tigers beat the Guardians last night three nothing, and
Speaker 3: then Royals beat the Yankees forty two.
Speaker 1: Everyone's that one ye on one.
Speaker 3: That's the first time since uh well since it was
Speaker 3: implemented in eighty one as a one off and then
Speaker 3: came back in ninety five.
Speaker 1: What would be the the uh the ratings, if I
Speaker 1: try to find a better word, Kansas City played San
Speaker 1: Diego or Detroit played San Diego the World Series because
Speaker 1: you're hoping for Dodger Yankies, right of course, which would
Speaker 1: be mega.
Speaker 4: And the ratings have been good because the Yankees and
Speaker 4: the and the Dodgers and the Mets or still in
Speaker 4: the I mean, these teams are still kind of the
Speaker 4: marquet the Phillies. So as long as you know, as
Speaker 4: long as uh one or two of those teams are in,
Speaker 4: it'll be good, I think as far as numbers go.
Speaker 4: But they still get killed by football no matter what happens,
Speaker 4: and they bury the games, and so it's kind of
Speaker 4: sad like on a weekend, you know, they're when is
Speaker 4: those games. Oh, they're on like a ten in the morning,
Speaker 4: and you know, they're just not They're not on prime time.
Speaker 3: And Mets the Phillies are currently going on right now.
Speaker 3: It's four nothing Mets in the bottom of the seventh.
Speaker 1: Weren't they horrible to begin you follow it? They were
Speaker 1: not horrible.
Speaker 3: They had a pretty I wouldn't say bad first half,
Speaker 3: but they were under five hundred. Yeah, and they had
Speaker 3: a better second half and then just kind of.
Speaker 1: How did they get better because the coach they was
Speaker 1: ready to fire the coach. I think they had some
Speaker 1: they had some injuries, and then they got them Betting
Speaker 1: came back. I think, yeah, I just remember that being horrible.
Speaker 3: Had had he started to do it better and okay,
Speaker 3: of course that was like a big contract, you know,
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 1: It's funny.
Speaker 4: I made my first visit to City Field this this
Speaker 4: last May with my buddies and we saw the Phillies.
Speaker 4: Phillies beat them, and everyone hated the Mets at that point.
Speaker 4: They were not good. This is in May and there
Speaker 4: was just no momentum and it was kind of like
Speaker 4: they're mostly Phillies fans there and it was a it
Speaker 4: was a day game like on a Tuesday or something
Speaker 4: like that. But great stadium, great just atmosphere, a lot
Speaker 4: of history. I mean even even the Mets. The Mets
Speaker 4: have kind of adopted the Dodgers a little bit, so
Speaker 4: when you go in there, there's a lot of Brooklyn
Speaker 4: Dodger and when you look at the stadium, it kind
Speaker 4: of looks like Abbot's Field it was designed from the outside,
Speaker 4: but really fun.
Speaker 1: I remember going to Manhattan a few times covering the
Speaker 1: basketball team. They wore a Mets at. They looked at
Speaker 1: me like, what the hell you doing? We're in that,
Speaker 1: like the did you know where you're at? Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be wearing Yankees at. I didn't know any better.
Speaker 4: I'd like to orange and blue, yeah, I mean they've
Speaker 4: got yeah, the orange and blue is the Dodgers and
Speaker 4: the Giants colors. That's how they got their their colors.
Speaker 3: Patriots planning to start their rookie quarterback this weekening it's
Speaker 3: Texans as they continue tos it me.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the North Carolina c I
Speaker 1: think they're doing horrible issue. They have like twelve points
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, they won the first game, the first game.
Speaker 3: They lost the last four. Yeah, I think they should
Speaker 3: have They should have won this last game they played.
Speaker 3: They play, they play at least close. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: the go ahead or what would have been the go
Speaker 3: ahead touchdown in the back of the end zone.
Speaker 1: He caught it.
Speaker 3: He had one foot and then he had a toe
Speaker 3: in the in the end zone and then his foot
Speaker 3: came down out of the end zone. They said he
Speaker 3: was incomplete.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, yeah, the AFC East, I mean, the
Speaker 4: Jets fired their coach today, Patriots are looking for a quarterback.
Speaker 4: The Dolphins lose their quarterback, Buffalo loses the other day
Speaker 4: to anybody win, and that's usually been a pretty good conference.
Speaker 1: Well, go ahead, and I'm sure you're going to talk
Speaker 1: about the Jets, right, Yeah, that was the next one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they fired Robert after a two and three start, right,
Speaker 3: and Jeff Oldbridge will be the interim coach.
Speaker 1: He's a defensive coordinator, I think. Yeah, yeah, a defense coordinator. Well,
Speaker 1: you know Brett Fire, now, Brett Fire, Aaron Rodgers, whoever
Speaker 1: it comes comes in and says, I don't want to
Speaker 1: do this anymore. And you know everyone has in New
Speaker 1: York and you you've been there. You you just recently
Speaker 1: was there? I still one of my favorite places. Sorry
Speaker 1: for anybody who's in New York, but it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's the everybody. I'm from New York. I know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: And and they had the Jets again high hopes. Right.
Speaker 1: Last year was one play. This year it's a few
Speaker 1: plays and it's still bad. They're still bad.
Speaker 4: He did not look good. Where was that game in London?
Speaker 4: Over the week Minnesota? He was kind of struggling.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously he's coming off into a pretty rough injury.
Speaker 4: And it's he's thirty nine, so you know, it doesn't
Speaker 4: heel like he did when he was a kid.
Speaker 1: No do we all? I mean, do you you get
Speaker 1: out of bed and saying what the how do I feel?
Speaker 5: How that happened?
Speaker 1: Where's the restroom? But how do you say? His last name? Sala? Sala? Yeah?
Speaker 1: He has he has the worst record in Jets as
Speaker 1: a coach at three nineteen. Okay, they've had some bad
Speaker 1: on come on, they haven't done anything since sixty nine.
Speaker 1: Pretty much, Joe am thing coming through those walls for
Speaker 1: those the rocker room, what's that praise? I don't know. Somebody,
Speaker 1: somebody's committed. It's like the Patina says, you know, this
Speaker 1: isn't coming.
Speaker 4: Not through the locker.
Speaker 1: Oh he's not.
Speaker 4: He's not coming in that door.
Speaker 5: That door.
Speaker 1: You don't want to pass that door anyway. I got
Speaker 1: another story about the the Nike deal.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Juju Wadkins here it is uh
Speaker 3: usc Juju Watkins reach a deal with Nike. I think
Speaker 3: it's saying, like one of the richest contracts. She originally
Speaker 3: signed with Nike back in high school as a senior
Speaker 3: back in October of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: Have you seen her play? Yep, she's fantastic.
Speaker 4: That Stanford was the Stanford game last year where she
Speaker 4: scored like fifty, So.
Speaker 1: She's fantastic and it's just a smooth, fantastic Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's gonna be one of the sad things about not
Speaker 4: having the Pac twelve right with them coming in and
Speaker 4: you know, the Stanford matchups were always good and then
Speaker 4: she kind of like elevates the USC the last last year.
Speaker 4: I guess, right, so we're gonna lose that. I don't
Speaker 4: know what Big twelve Women's Hoops is leg Honestly, I
Speaker 4: think it's competitive.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be competitive, just like the men's it's just
Speaker 1: in a close group of I think they picked in
Speaker 1: the seventh in the league.
Speaker 3: Saints quarterback Derek Carr suffered an oblique injury on Monday night.
Speaker 1: Against the Chiefs. Does it say when he'll be buying
Speaker 1: out indefinitely? Out in definitely, which means a while. That's bad? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was. It was the fourth right last night. He says,
Speaker 1: it's just hurting how to come out, and and here
Speaker 1: I am. Yeah. I looked at the score one time.
Speaker 1: It was like sixteen to seven. It was close. It
Speaker 1: was close for a while. Yeah, and Kansas City still
Speaker 1: doesn't look like Kansas City. But they're winning. It's all
Speaker 1: that matters.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You see a thing about Caitlyn Clark playing golf. No,
Speaker 4: he's gonna be playing an Aka Sorenstams tournament in Florida.
Speaker 1: Can't you play?
Speaker 4: Evidently? Speaking of women's basketball, you know, she hasn't been
Speaker 4: in the news very much last week or so, so
Speaker 4: she's going to be out there doing something right. But
Speaker 4: she's playing in something called the.
Speaker 1: What's it called? Do you play?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Were you called?
Speaker 4: Just the anika?
Speaker 1: Okay, a little wildcat so you know, I played stootball
Speaker 1: long million years ago, thirty years ago, probably just yeah,
Speaker 1: having fun. So were you pretty athlete? I'm asking you
Speaker 1: for who cares? Now, I'm just kidding. I was way
Speaker 1: I used to describe myself was. I was pretty mediocre
Speaker 1: at a lot of things. I tried everything.
Speaker 4: I played baseball, basketball, never played football except like in
Speaker 4: junior high golf, tennis. I have not played pickleball other
Speaker 4: than just, you know, a really quick game here and there.
Speaker 1: So mediocre would be you're a four out of ten?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I was.
Speaker 5: You know, I was good.
Speaker 4: I could, I could hold my own with my friends
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. But I never really played, never
Speaker 4: ever put on a football uniform in my life. I
Speaker 4: wouldn't know how to even do it. But I played
Speaker 4: hoops and I still, up until just a few years ago,
Speaker 4: played here in town with my friends, a bunch old guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The reason I ask is I was a halfway
Speaker 1: decent player. But I picked my poisons, you know, baseball
Speaker 1: and ran track and stuff like that. I hate golf.
Speaker 1: I go with my friends and I dragged the cart,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe, but I hit the ball so horribly
Speaker 1: that I just don't even want to embarrass myself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I don't even play and you think, Okay, you
Speaker 1: know you're a former athlete, blah blah blah. No not exactly.
Speaker 1: That's so I don't even do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there, and that's you know, at least
Speaker 4: people kind of in our jobs at that time, there
Speaker 4: were a few that were you could tell. I mean,
Speaker 4: even my buddy Dan Ryan Channel four was a really
Speaker 4: good baseball player.
Speaker 1: I think he played collegiate and he played and he
Speaker 1: was pretty good atasketball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I got to give it to him. But
Speaker 4: the rest of us, I'm trying to think Brad Stinkey,
Speaker 4: who I worked with, a great golfer, basketball player. Yeah,
Speaker 4: still I know golfs. But yeah, most of us, you know,
Speaker 4: we we didn't have time. I honestly did not have
Speaker 4: a lot of time as I got to be an
Speaker 4: adult and had a profession.
Speaker 1: And that's what it is, especially with golf. You need time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you need time either you're kind of retired where you
Speaker 1: can find a way to write your story and get
Speaker 1: the hell out of dodge and write and have some
Speaker 1: money to do it as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I admire the people that are good.
Speaker 4: That's kind of the fun thing of what we did
Speaker 4: or what you're doing still is just to watch these
Speaker 4: guys perform and realized I was never going to be
Speaker 4: there at that home much a.

Speaker 1: he's never sound that great with me. What's up with that?

Speaker 1: I pay you. That's a difference.
Speaker 5: No one's paying me.
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us. An talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 5: I'm so so.
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you. You watch the game.
Speaker 1: You probably go to the game on Saturday. You're an alum,
Speaker 1: and I want you to talk to me as an alum,
Speaker 1: nothing else. And you watch what you watch? How do
Speaker 1: you come away with that?
Speaker 15: Well, I'm frustrated, you know, as if I'm a I'm
Speaker 15: a player at that point in time, you know, I
Speaker 15: feel the frustration in regards to what has just taken place,
Speaker 15: and it and it and it hurts, you know, and
Speaker 15: it hurts just as if I'm playing a game with
Speaker 15: the kids at that point in that moment, you know,
Speaker 15: I see things that happens out on the field that
Speaker 15: I think shouldn't be happening.
Speaker 5: And a lot has to do with the actual execution
Speaker 5: of the playoffs. Playing the game again me as being
Speaker 5: the player that I was.
Speaker 15: Instantly, I'm going right to those guys and say, we
Speaker 15: got to correct this, we got to fix this. And
Speaker 15: you know what you're supposed to do. You know what
Speaker 15: your assignments are. Let's get your assignments put together, and
Speaker 15: and and you know, let's let's let's do better the
Speaker 15: next week.
Speaker 4: Can you tell even now, as you know all these
Speaker 4: years removed, can can you watch a play and say, oh, man,
Speaker 4: that that someone messed up?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 4: Is it easy enough for you to.
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, I see it as far you know. The
Speaker 15: thing is I see it more offensively? Did I see
Speaker 15: it defensively?
Speaker 5: Really? You know, I can see you know, offensively, particular
Speaker 5: the wide receivers.
Speaker 15: You know, the wide receiver because I mean, they're in
Speaker 15: more space, so it's easy to tell when a wide
Speaker 15: receiver is messing up, and even their their body matterisms.
Speaker 5: You can see that, you know, a certain player.
Speaker 15: Okay, I'm gonna just move down the field because I
Speaker 15: ain't gonna get the ball.
Speaker 5: Why should I put out this energy?
Speaker 15: I mean, you see those things happen, and and I
Speaker 15: and I and I notice it more with that particular
Speaker 15: position than any other position.
Speaker 5: Now on the deepense end of the of things.
Speaker 15: I can tell of a player on the front, I mean,
Speaker 15: if if he's supposed to be in a certain gap
Speaker 15: and he's out of position gap wise, naturally, if they're
Speaker 15: rushing up the field, particularly the edge guys, you can
Speaker 15: you can instantly tell when the edge guys lose the edge,
Speaker 15: they always say, you know, basically because the fact sometimes
Speaker 15: they can lose the edge just on the linement alone.
Speaker 15: You know, in some cases they'll get up the field
Speaker 15: and and and and take too much ground up the
Speaker 15: field and lose the edge that way, you know.
Speaker 5: So I mean those little you know, things does come place.
Speaker 16: And and you know, I sit with my one of
Speaker 16: my younger brothers, him and I we always sit together,
Speaker 16: and and we we we we had this same badgery
Speaker 16: and going back and forth as far as things that
Speaker 16: we see take place, and he should have done that,
Speaker 16: and he should have done.
Speaker 5: This, and back and forth. So that that also makes
Speaker 5: it more interesting throughout the game too.
Speaker 1: So you guys got kind of elbow each other and say,
Speaker 1: what's this happened there? Because I'm sure he yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's not what has happened there?
Speaker 1: Why did that happen?
Speaker 15: Because the fact, the fact is that every kid that's
Speaker 15: out on that field, they know what their assignments are
Speaker 15: going into the game.
Speaker 5: Okay, they know what they're supposed to be doing. I mean,
Speaker 5: you start, you know, with your game plan.
Speaker 15: I'm assuming it's still the same way they started their
Speaker 15: game plan on Monday, or in some cases they probably
Speaker 15: started on on on Sunday. They started their game plan
Speaker 15: and knowing exactly what takes place as far as learning
Speaker 15: your opponent, learning the tendency that your opponents are about
Speaker 15: to do against you, so all those things, and then
Speaker 15: you implement your game, playing offensive, defensively, the things that
Speaker 15: you're supposed to be doing. So if you just do
Speaker 15: a little silly nuance here and there, I mean, that
Speaker 15: can mess the whole playoff. They can mess the whole
Speaker 15: thing out, you know.
Speaker 5: And you know, just a wide.
Speaker 15: Receiver again, decide, you know, to cut his route short
Speaker 15: or he goes into a pattern with a wide receiver
Speaker 15: and tight end comes to the pattern together.
Speaker 5: I mean that right there. It just bugs me when
Speaker 5: I see and I mean, I'm gonna call the names
Speaker 5: out because of these two guys. I always see them.
Speaker 15: And I don't know if you guys notice it, but
Speaker 15: t Mac and the tight ends they always two yards
Speaker 15: a lot of times not always, they always like find
Speaker 15: themselves in the same zone together.
Speaker 5: And so when you do that, you basically bringing all of.
Speaker 15: The defender defending one defender defend you guys, And I
Speaker 15: don't know if it's t.
Speaker 5: Mac or if it's a tight end.
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, there was.
Speaker 4: There were periods in the game where there was some
Speaker 4: sounds like there was some confusion, at least according to
Speaker 4: what coach was saying afterwards. Had you everard a coach
Speaker 4: say that, No, No, that was kind of surprised, Lamont.
Speaker 1: What about you? Have you ever seen a coach say that.
Speaker 5: What I'm sorry say what say.
Speaker 1: Exactly what you said? We have guys running in weird directions.
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, I mean that's again because you don't know
Speaker 15: what route is called at that point in time, you know,
Speaker 15: and and so you you might hear.
Speaker 5: A particular play offensively. That's called in and.
Speaker 15: You think I'm running this route where you should be
Speaker 15: running something completely different. We all of a sudden you
Speaker 15: got two guys basically in the same area, and that
Speaker 15: takes place in because the fact that someone didn't do
Speaker 15: the assignment correctly, and like I say, it's I mean,
Speaker 15: it's part of the player, you know, not executing properly
Speaker 15: and doing what he's supposed to do. And it's part
Speaker 15: of coaching too, and you know, making sure that they
Speaker 15: they they they in the right position when the call
Speaker 15: is played, their players called.
Speaker 4: You've got Dwayne Kena. Did you play for coach a Keina?
Speaker 1: This was he here?
Speaker 5: No, man, I'm old, I'm old bro. Yes, hey Dave.
Speaker 5: But I can tell you this the thing that I
Speaker 5: enjoy about Dwayne a Keina okay.
Speaker 15: And and I played for a coach in the semblance
Speaker 15: of Dwayne a Quina Okay, my coach.
Speaker 5: He wasn't as out as much as.
Speaker 15: Dwayne doing the actual game. I mean meaning you know,
Speaker 15: out on the field and being enjoyed it and then
Speaker 15: and the kids you know facing like that like look
Speaker 15: like on the field that we see with Dwayne and Kena.
Speaker 15: But the coach I played with was was coach Tom Roganman.
Speaker 15: And when I say the likeness of those two, their
Speaker 15: likeness be this. Both of those guys played the game
Speaker 15: with us as players. They they they actually had their
Speaker 15: emotion on their sleeves when we're when they calling in
Speaker 15: the play and they're sitting there and they watching this
Speaker 15: play take place. He's going through the actual motion that
Speaker 15: his players are going through out on that football field.
Speaker 15: And you can see that in that in Coach Aquina.
Speaker 15: And like I said, I had that same type of
Speaker 15: coach in Tom Rogman, you know so, and you can
Speaker 15: see the personality in Duaynea Quina and you can see
Speaker 15: that personality in his actual players.
Speaker 5: They basically plays that same type of way of what
Speaker 5: coach Quina is.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 15: So what you get in the room is the classroom
Speaker 15: is what you might get out on the field sometimes,
Speaker 15: you know.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you know I think the world of you.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not trying to butter you off. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you the truth because I know you're going to
Speaker 1: spend some more money here in a few months.
Speaker 5: But but butther him up.
Speaker 1: But let me let me just butter it up. But
Speaker 1: let me let me ask you, and you can be
Speaker 1: as honest as you want to be with me. You
Speaker 1: just talked about Aquina and how fiery he is. H
Speaker 1: it's very obviously the kids love playing for him because
Speaker 1: they play their ass off. Okay, now we have Brennan.
Speaker 1: I don't know Brendan from anybody. I didn't cover football
Speaker 1: back then or very much now. He's not that fiery guy.
Speaker 1: He's the encourager. He's that Dick Tomy, Uh, things are
Speaker 1: going to be okay type of coach. It's hard to
Speaker 1: see a correlation between guys playing hard and and and
Speaker 1: and wanting to play hard for him.
Speaker 15: Well, but the players are not really playing directly for
Speaker 15: coach Brennan. The players out there playing directly for their
Speaker 15: position coach. Okay, they're playing directly for their position coach.
Speaker 15: The position coach is the ones who spend more time
Speaker 15: with those kids weekend and week out. And coach Brennan
Speaker 15: is doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing. He's
Speaker 15: managing the game and managing the coaches and the players
Speaker 15: through the game. Okay, he's doing exactly what he's supposed
Speaker 15: to do. Now, inside that locker room may be a
Speaker 15: different Brendan that none of us and none of us
Speaker 15: need to know because to me, that's that right there
Speaker 15: is a good sign of leadership and a and a
Speaker 15: and a and a good head coach. Now, honestly, I
Speaker 15: see a lot of characteristics in Brennan. You guys say,
Speaker 15: coach told me, I see Larry Smith. I mean, I
Speaker 15: see so much in in Brennan. Look like coach Smith was.
Speaker 15: Coach Smith was a true head.
Speaker 5: Coach CEO way before the time people would would put
Speaker 5: CEO on the coach. He was that type of coach.
Speaker 15: Okay, and Coach Smith he'll manage the game when he
Speaker 15: needed to manage the game, the things that goes out
Speaker 15: officiating or calls and things like that, special teams, he'll
Speaker 15: manage that portra of the game. But his position coach
Speaker 15: did he and they interact with the players. And I
Speaker 15: see the same thing with this coaching staff. And as
Speaker 15: I say, depending on the type of coach you see,
Speaker 15: that personality have a way of coming into the body
Speaker 15: of the players that that person is coaching.
Speaker 5: And Dwayne O. Kenna is showing that.
Speaker 15: You know, I can't remer, what's what's the running back coach?
Speaker 15: Not the running back coach. The offensive line coach, I
Speaker 15: don't know so well, but I tell you, if you
Speaker 15: watch this coach coach, you can see the personality of
Speaker 15: that offensive line floating the same way that he coaches,
Speaker 15: which is uh, which which is I know what my
Speaker 15: assignments are.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do my assignments.
Speaker 15: I'm gonna hit somebody, I'm gonna turn around, get back
Speaker 15: into the huddle.
Speaker 5: Okay. I think the offensive line at this point in
Speaker 5: time is probably the most effective group right now on
Speaker 5: our offense. Yeah.
Speaker 15: I mean, if you if you they're not giving up sacks.
Speaker 15: The sacks that was giving up is because of Monu himself.
Speaker 15: It was not because of the offensive line. I think
Speaker 15: the offensive line is they're very technical, they're very sound.
Speaker 5: They don't do it. I mean, then might have a
Speaker 5: stupid pennity here and there, which.
Speaker 15: They need to clean up, but it is the same
Speaker 15: personality of their offensive line goes well.
Speaker 1: They are giving him a lot of time to throw,
Speaker 1: I mean more time than last year.
Speaker 5: And that's mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Josh, Yes, yes, yes, it absolutely rights.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 1: That's what it is.
Speaker 5: And and if you sit out there.
Speaker 15: And you watch Josh coach these kids, and he coaches them,
Speaker 15: and he's I'm talking with practice wise.
Speaker 5: He coaches him and.
Speaker 15: He I never heard this man yell at these kids.
Speaker 15: But he gets his port across. He don't say come here,
Speaker 15: and he give his words to those kids in their ear.
Speaker 15: Nobody else needs to know. And he's such a technician
Speaker 15: when it comes to feet work offensively, you know where
Speaker 15: you're supposed to be, you know, just little sold little
Speaker 15: subtle movements like this that he teaches that again, all
Speaker 15: his tastes a little second. If you all here or there,
Speaker 15: something bad can happen with that offensive line.
Speaker 1: So when we have one about a minute, let me
Speaker 1: ask you this other question. So you know, today's kids,
Speaker 1: they're not the kids that you were when you were
Speaker 1: a kid thirty forty years ago? Are they? Are they coachable?
Speaker 1: Now you have the ni L they're making money?
Speaker 16: Uh?
Speaker 1: I don't know if kids today listen to people anyway.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: But but can they be the rogalman? Can they be
Speaker 1: the the those guys where they'll get on you and
Speaker 1: be okay with it? You know what?
Speaker 5: I think?
Speaker 15: I think a lot of that has to do with
Speaker 15: the personality of the coach, and that coach he got
Speaker 15: to read his his room, and he got to walk
Speaker 15: in and read his room. Okay, And if and and again,
Speaker 15: you know, if, if, if that's your stand at the
Speaker 15: beginning of the un first minute, and you can put
Speaker 15: that out there, I mean, this is who I am,
Speaker 15: and you make that choice to be in my room.
Speaker 15: This is the way you're gonna be coached. This is
Speaker 15: why we're gonna do it my way.
Speaker 5: Okay. And if you stay that.
Speaker 15: Way, it's gonna continue. It's gonna go that way through
Speaker 15: the whole year. But if you if you just give
Speaker 15: one bit, then you're gonna be in trouble. You're gonna
Speaker 15: be in trouble because there's gonna be like you said,
Speaker 15: there's gonna be some kids out there who will try
Speaker 15: to test it and see, you know, I don't need
Speaker 15: to do this because I'm getting paid this nil.
Speaker 5: Okay, if you getting paid this, NL, I don't need
Speaker 5: you in the field dead. Don't even give them the
Speaker 5: feel for me.
Speaker 15: The right coach got to take the right stands when
Speaker 15: it comes to those type of attitudes, you know, and
Speaker 15: you know there is some field coaches out there who
Speaker 15: can do that, because you know, good coaches the first
Speaker 15: thing they gonna say, is that I got an eighteen
Speaker 15: to a twenty one year old basically dictating if I
Speaker 15: get a paycheck, you know, you know, so they got
Speaker 15: to get a paycheck or not. I got the I
Speaker 15: got the right to treat you this way and coach
Speaker 15: you this way.
Speaker 4: How difficult do you think it is for the kids
Speaker 4: to have all these new coaches too as well? I
Speaker 4: mean it's it's a big turn over there on the
Speaker 4: coaching sideline too. And what's that like as a player
Speaker 4: like kind of wondering, what does this coach expect?
Speaker 5: Well, that's again, it's the reverse side.
Speaker 16: Now.
Speaker 15: Now the new coach come in. The kids gotta basically
Speaker 15: learn that coach, learn that what that coach.
Speaker 5: Is all about.
Speaker 15: And well, at this point in time and this day
Speaker 15: and time, any kid and any parent of a kid
Speaker 15: in any university, you gotta have to understanding that the.
Speaker 5: Door is going to be flipping back and forth all
Speaker 5: the time. It's going to be that way.
Speaker 15: I mean, it's it's what we are in society now
Speaker 15: is what's taking place. But the fact is, if you
Speaker 15: love the game of football, the game of football is
Speaker 15: still there.
Speaker 5: It's here.
Speaker 15: I came here of this university, play football and get
Speaker 15: an education or education first. Still, but if a coach go,
Speaker 15: come and go bring me the other one. The game
Speaker 15: of football is still here. It's still here for me.
Speaker 15: And you know, if we make the game of football
Speaker 15: so difficult, it's still just the man to get the ball,
Speaker 15: get tackled, Go tackle the guy.
Speaker 5: That get the ball.

Speaker 2: This is I on the Ball on Fox Sports fourteen fifty.
Speaker 2: I want to take part in the show call up
Speaker 2: Steve now went five to two oh four one seventy
Speaker 2: four forty.
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back to I Am the Ball here on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, You're Jed, You're Jay, Jay,
Speaker 1: You're Jay? You did Jay? You know it looks like
Speaker 1: him and we got Ryan. Hey, if anybody wants to call,
Speaker 1: please do. If you were the coach, what would be
Speaker 1: your solution for this craziness? Anybody want to call please do?
Speaker 1: I want to hear your thoughts. If you're the coach,
Speaker 1: what would you do? Dave? What would you do me?
Speaker 5: I'm the coach.
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you that anyway.
Speaker 4: Well, you mean like it's in terms of like fix
Speaker 4: this going back to study hall thing.
Speaker 1: Man, Look, I want you.
Speaker 4: You've heard those kind of excuses like you know, oh,
Speaker 4: he's not really getting the playbook too. Well, I mean,
Speaker 4: is that kind of what's happening?
Speaker 1: You think, I'm just not parently that's the problem. I
Speaker 1: talked to the guys yesterday here in this house with
Speaker 1: with my guests, and to me, this team is missing something,
Speaker 1: missing something, and and my my observation, which is totally
Speaker 1: probably off base, is they're just not getting the coaching,
Speaker 1: the feedback from the coach. They're should not playing hard enough.
Speaker 1: And if it's true that what Lamon says about the
Speaker 1: assistant coaches are the people that are in charge, and
Speaker 1: which I'm sure it is, and he's the CEO, they're
Speaker 1: not getting it from the assistant coaches, then yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: to play their ass off, right.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean that's again, they're new coaches. Maybe some
Speaker 4: of these new players just aren't ready and haven't you know,
Speaker 4: bought into the whole system just yet. There's been so
Speaker 4: much turnover and they've got maybe some other teammates who
Speaker 4: are next to them who are new. So I mean
Speaker 4: it's it's you have to kind of give them a
Speaker 4: little bit of a chance here.
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, no, I don't disagree with that, but
Speaker 1: let's kind of reviews the dissect. So they they came in,
Speaker 1: the new coaches and all that you saw the you
Speaker 1: sall the New Mexico game, right right, would be they
Speaker 1: paid blow enough to win. They ran away with it eventually,
Speaker 1: but not what you thought, right well, no, but I
Speaker 1: mean they were supposed to win that game. Okay, it wasn't.
Speaker 4: It wasn't a thing of beauty.
Speaker 1: Okay, not a thing of beauty. Okay, that's the title.
Speaker 1: We two not a thing of beauty. No, okay two
Speaker 1: not Yeah, that was definitely rough. Third game, definitely not
Speaker 1: a thing of beauty. So now you got three things
Speaker 1: not a thing of beauty. And then and then you
Speaker 1: play out of your mind and and and beat Utah.
Speaker 1: But guess what you have? Three not out of you?
Speaker 1: Three out of four? Right, three out of four? So
Speaker 1: what are you supposed to believe? And there's something missing?
Speaker 1: They're just you don't. You don't do that three in
Speaker 1: a row, or you just don't.
Speaker 4: I mean, I could probably look back at my text
Speaker 4: messages that were going on with your second half with
Speaker 4: my children, even like I think I may have said
Speaker 4: something to the effect of this is really not that
Speaker 4: much fun to watch. Defense was maybe in the third
Speaker 4: quarter and they were you know, kicking field goals and playing.
Speaker 1: From Saturday Saturday this past week. Yeah, well there's that,
Speaker 1: and imagine playing it and we know what's the number
Speaker 1: one fixed for all this win? Win? Right? Play well win.
Speaker 1: Everyone's happy last year they were able to do that
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, and then they want and everything. It
Speaker 1: covers up blemishes, it covers up pimples, it covers up everything,
Speaker 1: and that's what you do.
Speaker 5: You win.
Speaker 1: But when you don't win, or you struggle to win,
Speaker 1: you start kind of saying, maybe we're not the team
Speaker 1: that we thought we are, or there's questions, and then
Speaker 1: you get questions from the media, and then you get
Speaker 1: questions from your friends, and then you see it on
Speaker 1: social and then you start to fester. And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying anything that I hadn't seen before.
Speaker 4: I you know, again, I agree with that, and maybe
Speaker 4: I'm just being more trying to be more patient. I know,
Speaker 4: it's only what four games in, so there's still time.
Speaker 4: There's still big games, and you know who, we don't
Speaker 4: really know what to expect. That's the beauty of especially
Speaker 4: of college football, where you have a week to think
Speaker 4: about it. It's only Tuesday right now. We're worried about
Speaker 4: it and talking about it.
Speaker 5: But you're right.
Speaker 4: I think we just need to kind of, you know,
Speaker 4: just let it, let it play out and see what
Speaker 4: happens next.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, you know what, it's a mistake for the
Speaker 1: second time. The habit third times was what the hell's
Speaker 1: going on? You gotta call?
Speaker 15: Hey?
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. You're on the air and eye on
Speaker 1: the wall.
Speaker 20: I see you this don How you doing Ton?
Speaker 1: Fine? You haven't heard from you in a while. I
Speaker 1: was wondering what the all happened?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean.
Speaker 1: The hangover finally wore off the good the good one
Speaker 1: or the bad one? O the bad one.
Speaker 20: I mean you look, you you outgain, you outgain a
Speaker 20: team by almost one hundred yards. You run what twenty
Speaker 20: four more plays and you lose. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 20: But I think if if we're talking about Brandon as
Speaker 20: a CEO style coach, then what's what's today? Tuesday? His
Speaker 20: interview is with the employees should already been done. I
Speaker 20: don't know if you. I don't know if he's doing that,
Speaker 20: because we know he meets with middle management every day.
Speaker 20: He meets with the coaching staff every day. But now,
Speaker 20: I think one thing that I would do is talk
Speaker 20: to the players and all of them, all the whole
Speaker 20: starting twenty two to thirty whatever it did, all the
Speaker 20: important ones, all of them, and try to find out
Speaker 20: what what are they thinking? What what are they not getting?
Speaker 20: And maybe is that they're not getting the feedback from
Speaker 20: the assistant coaches that maybe Brendan thinks that they need
Speaker 20: to be getting, or you know, are they not getting
Speaker 20: the teaching of the plays, that they're in the wrong places,
Speaker 20: whatever the case may be. You know, because the answers
Speaker 20: are going to be all over the place. You know,
Speaker 20: maybe some maybe some of these guys are stressed out
Speaker 20: with the coaching change and they're confused, and you know,
Speaker 20: you know, they get out there and they're reacting like
Speaker 20: they were reacting a year.
Speaker 1: Ago, but now this year.
Speaker 20: That would be the wrong thing to do.
Speaker 1: Who knows. Right here, we gotta go, and I think
Speaker 1: we've got another call done, Go ahead, good, Okay, what
Speaker 1: do you think? What do you think?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 20: I just think that'd be the thing to do is
Speaker 20: try to get get everybody's headspace in the same place.
Speaker 1: Right, No, I agree, team meeting, team meeting and all that.
Speaker 1: Get this stuff out of the way.
Speaker 20: Yeah, I agree totally, and individual meetings as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree, good good, good point done. Appreciate
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. I was always yeah, yeah, you got
Speaker 1: another call, get another call. Hello, you're on the air
Speaker 1: and I on the ball.
Speaker 5: Oh did he leave?
Speaker 1: You're on the air and I on the ball.
Speaker 5: Steve you there?
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm here. How are you?
Speaker 5: Who's this? You there?
Speaker 1: Are you there?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You're there, I'm here. Who's this? Dave?
Speaker 7: Dave ja Jabbins. Hey, I was listening to your piece
Speaker 7: with Lamont and I had a comment on Lamont. He
Speaker 7: was clearly an amazing football player, but our senior year,
Speaker 7: Lamont was our team captain, and he was the captain.
Speaker 7: Beyond being a great player, he was a great teammate.
Speaker 7: He cared about everybody. It didn't matter where you were
Speaker 7: at and the roster, where you were at on the
Speaker 7: depth chart, Lamont loved you if you played football for
Speaker 7: the Arizona Wildcats.
Speaker 4: He was a good guy. What a compeination with with
Speaker 4: him and Ricky together those couple of years.
Speaker 1: What we were talking about this before you called? What
Speaker 1: year you're talking at eighty five ish?
Speaker 7: You know our senior year was eighty four. If Lamont's
Speaker 7: still listening. I feel bad to tell him that was
Speaker 7: forty years ago this fall.
Speaker 4: Are you guys going to do anything any kind of
Speaker 4: do you guys get together as a reunion?
Speaker 7: You know what that there's guys that that, that Steakhose,
Speaker 7: you know from those teams, and you look at Lamont.
Speaker 7: Lamont was Sandwich too. Lamont was an amazing player. But
Speaker 7: he played with Ricky and he played with Byron Evans.
Speaker 7: He played, I mean with with with some great linebackers.
Speaker 7: Their shoulder to shoulder with him, right, there.
Speaker 5: Was some good ones.
Speaker 4: Was it Danny Lockett? Was he in that group in
Speaker 4: that in that period?
Speaker 7: Or was he little l he was? He was younger
Speaker 7: than us, he was. But you know, so before that though,
Speaker 7: before you know, as Ricky was making his way, Dave,
Speaker 7: you might remember, uh, John Pace like John Pace was
Speaker 7: a really really good linebacker, like a devastating hitter.
Speaker 4: Wow, No I got I got here Ricky's senior year.
Speaker 1: So that was that.
Speaker 7: That would have been eighty three, yep. And and Lamont
Speaker 7: touched on it. You know, they were playing for coach
Speaker 7: Rogi and the players take on the personality is I
Speaker 7: believe what reinforcing? What Lamont said the players take on
Speaker 7: the personality of their coach, and so that that era
Speaker 7: of linebackers at Arizona played with the personality.
Speaker 1: Of coach Roganman. Well, this offense needs some personality, it does,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 7: So like like for myself as a receiver, I played
Speaker 7: for Mark Lunsford, and LUNs was he was. He demanded
Speaker 7: you to be technically sound, and he was highly highly
Speaker 7: competitive at practice, in meetings away from football, and and
Speaker 7: and I love playing for coach LUNs We banged heads,
Speaker 7: but it was I always knew that he loved me,
Speaker 7: and I always played as hard as I could for
Speaker 7: him because I loved him back.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I think when you when you have that respect
Speaker 1: and you know it goes both ways, that's when you
Speaker 1: play hard. And that's what I think it's missing. I
Speaker 1: could be totally wrong, but I think that's what's missing.
Speaker 7: Well, Steve and Dave, you know teams sports, Teams take
Speaker 7: on the personality of their leader, and the same goes
Speaker 7: for businesses. The same goes for family. You look at families,
Speaker 7: you look at kids you grew up with, if they
Speaker 7: had a tough dad, if they had a hard nosed dad,
Speaker 7: those kids will probably tough, hard nosed kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4: It's the same way in football for sure.
Speaker 7: Teams, businesses, families all follow.
Speaker 1: That same model. Right, you're right, you're right. Hey, Jay,
Speaker 1: don't be a stranger. Give us a call when you can.
Speaker 1: Love hearing from you.
Speaker 7: Thank you, guys, all right, yes, thank you guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he called to say hi. You gotta say hi, Jay.
Speaker 1: Come on, we've got another call. We got another call. Hello,
Speaker 1: you're on the air and eye on the ball.
Speaker 6: Hey, Dave, it's John, id Ony John.
Speaker 1: What's the word?
Speaker 5: So to me?
Speaker 6: You know, it's it's a lack of discipline on some level.
Speaker 6: But you know, Noah's missed a lot of bad decisions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 6: You know, I saw Patterson open a lot. I've seen
Speaker 6: title tight end streaking in the middle open some and
Speaker 6: I feel like he's missing the second and third reads potentially.
Speaker 6: You know, I understand, Belan, it's hard not to always
Speaker 6: have that as a safety dolf. But the difference between
Speaker 6: the two offenses to me was we were gashing teams
Speaker 6: by staying ahead of the change last year, and so
Speaker 6: McLoughlin got got touches and got touches. He was and
Speaker 6: Coleman's just Coleman's really really good. Watch a little Washington.
Speaker 6: He's just good.
Speaker 5: But our running backs.
Speaker 6: Haven't been terrible. But we haven't we haven't thrown the
Speaker 6: running backs. But I just feel like, you know, we
Speaker 6: haven't thrown enough to other other valves other than seen
Speaker 6: and and m and uh and tea Matt. So to me,
Speaker 6: that's what's been missing from the offenses is you know,
Speaker 6: it's just spreading the ball around a little bit and
Speaker 6: finding the checkdowns at times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got to go just thirty seconds.
Speaker 5: Give me.
Speaker 1: You must be frustrated.
Speaker 6: No, man, I didn't have any expectations. I didn't know
Speaker 6: I was gonna happen on the coaching staff.
Speaker 1: Okay, frustrating about.
Speaker 6: It's say, we're just a mediocre program right now, and
Speaker 6: we had a chance to be excellent. And to me,
Speaker 6: we've taken a step back as far as the discipline,
Speaker 6: the structure, and the level of where I see the
Speaker 6: program going in the next five years.
Speaker 1: Thanks John, We got to go. Appreciate your call. Thank you, Hey,
Speaker 1: great calls today. Thank you Dave forgetting Thank you Ryan
Speaker 1: for pulling this off. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
