Steve, how you living, brother, Oh great man? 36 00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:48,959 Speaker 3: How are you ben doing? 37 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: Awesome man? Springball? You know, this is a great time 38 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,079 of the year for me. I like looking at the future. 39 00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:57,280 I like looking at development. I want to see who 40 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,640 put in the work in the off season and the 41 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,640 way from January through through February and getting into March. 42 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,680 I got March mad news year. That's around the corner. 43 00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:09,840 So all is well, Camp Killiney twenty twenty six, about 44 00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:12,199 to kick off. What do you remember about springball? What 45 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,599 do you recall about what the the the the storylines 46 00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:17,879 were when you were in springball. 47 00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 3: Well, for me, my first year, you know, I had 48 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,759 to sit out a here and so fall I couldn't participate. 49 00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:30,080 So my first spring was you know, six six or 50 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,840 seven months after I had transferred to the y and 51 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,759 so I mean it was a below the belt check time, 52 00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:43,840 we'll call it for me. So I had to impress 53 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,560 and try it, not just to make the team. But 54 00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:51,280 I came in Walsh was a freshman. I came in 55 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,360 as my first year after my red shirt year and 56 00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:59,439 at UT having me sit out in that year, so 57 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,199 essentially sitting out two years. This was my first opportunity 58 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,199 to play basically in between the lines since I had 59 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,120 started high school a couple of years before that, so 60 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:14,360 it had been a while since, you know, I got 61 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,599 to throw against real competition. Even though the spring practice 62 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,840 like it was, it was, it was check time for me. 63 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,919 So my first year obviously was quite nervous and then 64 00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:32,599 after that, Wallston established himself as a starter. So spring 65 00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:36,199 was just fine tuning things obviously for the coaching staff. 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,879 And where you're going with this is there to answer 67 00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:45,759 some questions. And we got some questions to answer on 68 00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:50,439 both sides of all and not just the starters, but 69 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,360 your depth chart. You get that handled, you get that 70 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,000 squared away. But then on the defensive side, k Pop 71 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,439 and his first experience in the defense, coordinated defense. Now, 72 00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:05,439 I don't think there's gonna be a problem because he's 73 00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:12,360 got Colonnie and coach Anderson to lean on. But that's 74 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,360 what spring is. I mean, there's two seasons and sports. 75 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,360 For me, it's spring football and fall football. And this 76 00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:21,399 is the first season, uh where we get a look 77 00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:26,319 at filling in the gaps, securing the holes that we 78 00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:29,000 might have transfers. How are they going to come in? 79 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,439 You know, as a kid from Oregon, you get to 80 00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:34,079 pan it out with injuries and you know, he looks 81 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,519 the part well, he is he to part, you know, 82 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,160 and those type of kids that you have the questions 83 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,720 with the freshman and coming in getting to know the 84 00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:44,560 system and how quick are they going to be able 85 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,480 to uh, you know, get the system and feel comfortable 86 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,800 playing in a system for the first time since high 87 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,199 school is completely different. College is a different animal. So 88 00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:58,120 I'm excited. 89 00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:01,519 Speaker 1: It is a great time to be to Cougar b 90 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,839 YU coming off at twelve eleven and two and then 91 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,839 a twelve and two season, a lot of positive momentum 92 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,240 heading into spring. One of the things I asked k 93 00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:11,439 Pop in my interview with him recently, I'm like, hey, 94 00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:14,160 how do you how do you keep this team humble? 95 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,160 We have seen in the past when b YU has 96 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,680 two consecutive great seasons, Uh that they there's a little 97 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,879 bit of a drop off, right they there's a little 98 00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:26,240 bit of a pride cycle. How can you you stay 99 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,600 the course, stay humble, stay hungry. What are your thoughts 100 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,639 on that? How do you keep a team focused on 101 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,519 the task at hand and working daily to be great 102 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,519 rather than relying on the pass to determine their their 103 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,639 their their mindset. 104 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 3: Well, I think you always, I think is the coaching staff. 105 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,639 You got to rely on your your older players, your 106 00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:50,680 more experienced players to you know, get that across to 107 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,600 your team. So Clanne is going to rely on your 108 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,480 Bruce Mitchell's and your Isaiah Laskers and even Bear even 109 00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:03,319 though he's now just only a sophomore. You're l J. Martin's, 110 00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:10,959 you know, Evan Johnson's, those guys that have been in 111 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,920 the system and have gone through, yeah, two successful seasons, 112 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000 but they understand there's you know, we got to replace 113 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:22,639 a Tanner Wall, We've got to replace a p K 114 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:29,839 and Roberts. So I think there's enough gaps and holds 115 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:38,199 the field to keep the guys really focused on. Okay, 116 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,600 the past of the past, it's what have you done 117 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,160 for me lately. We've got some questions we need to 118 00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:45,560 answer in the spring and a little bit of fall 119 00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:49,000 camp to get to where we want to be the 120 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:55,879 last two years. So with that being said, you know 121 00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:59,879 it's going to be based on the leadership, and I 122 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,720 think we're fine in that category. I don't have any 123 00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:09,600 issues with us thinking we're content or we're just like 124 00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:14,439 last year or the year before. Now. The trains just 125 00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:17,759 to continue to roll, so instead of I think we've 126 00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:21,560 gotten to a point and b AU Football where enough 127 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,000 of the rebuilding. We just reload now. And because the 128 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,759 expectations last two years will continue to be the same expectations, 129 00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:35,439 and good on us so and good on Klawonne for 130 00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:38,959 being I mean, he's got the third most wins, dude 131 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:46,319 since twenty twenty in college football. Yep, and so like that. 132 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,800 That's that's that's a lot. It's a lot of pressure. 133 00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:54,639 But so what like good, bring the pressure on. That's 134 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,000 that's what we're going to be used to now. And 135 00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:02,000 so I feel good about this year and continuing to 136 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,279 feel good about BYU football as a whole. Bull short 137 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,360 term and long term. 138 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,079 Speaker 1: Let's start quarterback two battle here for a moment. That's 139 00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:12,680 one of the intriguing storylines I'm gonna be taking a long, 140 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,480 hard look at throughout spring. We know Bear Bachmeier is 141 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,399 he's the better throwing freaking Tim Tebow. That's what you 142 00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:22,279 told us once upon a time, and it has come 143 00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:25,680 to fruish my friend. So hey, we could have a 144 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,279 little bit of a Heisman Trophy candidacy if all things 145 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,279 go well this year, right if we don't, if we 146 00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:34,360 want to really get Utah fans angry at us, we'll 147 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,240 talk about that and get some quotes from you. But 148 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,919 who's your favorite to win it right now? QB two 149 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:48,360 Trayson Borge or Goldie Enick Watson out of American Leadership academy. 150 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:55,399 Speaker 3: Only because I haven't seen Enick play or practice, and 151 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,080 I've seen Trason. Not only have I seen Trason, but 152 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:04,080 or as an affectionate call Bobby Bouche, I've seen him, 153 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,679 and he's been in the system. He knows the system, 154 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,799 he knows the offense. He's gonna be a senior. I 155 00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:13,679 know he has the back of the locker room. So 156 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,240 just by default, I would say Trac right now today, yep, 157 00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:24,080 But again that spring things happen, right the depth chart 158 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,679 is being tried to be formed, maybe there's a splash, 159 00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:32,440 maybe Enoch comes out and just like starts killing it right, 160 00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:37,879 and so yeah, he's gonna be in the mix. But 161 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,879 we yes, obviously we have QB one, but QB two 162 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,759 is a very famous on a famous name on campus. 163 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,039 When you have somebody like Bear, everybody goes, okay, what 164 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,360 if dot dot dot and right now today, just based 165 00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:01,200 on experience and knowing the system and knowing the program 166 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,279 and having the locker room behind him, I'd have to 167 00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:06,879 go with Trason. 168 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, you know, I think Enix got plenty 169 00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:17,759 of talent, plenty of dual threat capability as well. He 170 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,879 did get home from the mission I want to say 171 00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:23,440 back in October, so he's uh, you know, he may 172 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,360 be more competitive than I think some are believing, but 173 00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:30,960 Trason definitely has the tenure, uh, and definitely the experience. 174 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,679 RB two. Who's your favorite to be? RB two? Shioni, 175 00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:37,600 Mala Joe Vesa de MOONI Is it Devon Eka or 176 00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:40,519 Logan Pain or Preston Rex? Who you gotten? Why? 177 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:49,879 Speaker 3: I think? I think right now today it's probably sionis 178 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:57,440 number two, but right on his heels is Eka as Devon. Uh, 179 00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:01,399 he's a true freshman, but he's the early enroll lye. 180 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,720 I know he's been on campus. I know he's bulked 181 00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:08,360 up to about almost two hundred pounds now. When he 182 00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:11,320 got to school he was at one point eighty two. 183 00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:17,519 And I know there's been discussions about how to get 184 00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:21,360 him inserted, not just in the lineup, but getting in touches. 185 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,080 So he's already making an impact in the weight room 186 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,080 before springball even starts today with the coaching staff. And 187 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,600 you know, I have it'smate knowledge about him because I 188 00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:37,679 coached him the last couple of years at LEI. And 189 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,799 not only he's a great kid, but he's he's gonna 190 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:48,200 be the RB room is set like we're good, Like 191 00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:53,200 we're more than good with LJA, which you're top returning 192 00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,480 running back in the entire nation, not just in the 193 00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:59,519 Big twelve Conference. But I'd throw his name in the 194 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:06,200 hat Heisen Trophy candidate, And yeah, eventually number forty seven 195 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,879 is gonna come up to really. 196 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,159 Speaker 1: So you know, look, what type of hyper are we 197 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,879 going to be given Bear Blachmeyer heading into twenty twenty six? 198 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,720 What expectations should we have for Bear in twenty twenty six? 199 00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: Well, I think he's gonna throw for another one thousand 200 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,879 yards more than he did last year, which he's up 201 00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:29,720 and around four thousand, meaning this year he rushed for 202 00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:32,799 what five hundred or so? I think he rushed for 203 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:38,000 about seven hundred and what I mean, his QBR rating 204 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,639 is the same as ars Mannings, his passer rating is 205 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,559 the same as ars Mannings. Well, he's the odds on 206 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,679 favorite right now, and yes, Manning and he's got the hype, 207 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,159 and yes, he's a very good player. But I mean, 208 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,320 if you take, if you're stat guy, you look at 209 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,000 those stats and you're like, hmm, there's not much difference 210 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,440 between the odds on favorite and our guy in provo 211 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,720 So why the heck not? Why just because it's b yu, 212 00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:14,360 I mean that would be are Yeah, of course I'm 213 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,840 a homeom, Yes i am. But I've also seen and 214 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,279 know that position also as well. And uh yeah, heck yeah, 215 00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:26,080 why why not? Right? 216 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: The hype is real from Steve Clebs regunning up there 217 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,080 Bachmeier and uh, look to me, I think the biggest 218 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,879 storyline though in fault camp, excuse me, in spring ball 219 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:39,759 is taking a long hard look at this defense. You 220 00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:42,360 seem pretty confident that k Pok can step in field 221 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,039 the shoes of Jay Hill is a is a play caller, 222 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,360 and uh, what do you but what do you make 223 00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:50,639 about the secondary? You know, Gennaro's gone. Jay Hill was 224 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,720 coaching the safety safeties to Mario Warren coaching up the 225 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,799 safeties and then Lewis Clark coaching up the corners. Do 226 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,879 you think there's any drop off there? You're optimistic about 227 00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:01,039 the secondary as well. 228 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 3: No, there's not gonna be a drop off when you 229 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,720 when your head coaches was considered one of the best, 230 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,720 if not the best, defensive coordinators in the nation when 231 00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:14,360 he was calling it at at the U and then 232 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,519 Oregon State, Like, I don't understand why they would be 233 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,440 a drop off because if that's your foundation, if coach 234 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,320 Kline Sataki is your foundation, and then you have a 235 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,879 guy with coach Anderson with the experience that he had, 236 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:36,320 and those two dudes with Kate Bob Young enthusiastic learning 237 00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:41,279 under Jay the last couple of years. I'm not worried 238 00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:46,360 about that, and so they The thing about it is 239 00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:49,320 because they have so much experience, it's now to the 240 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,759 point to where whatever you have in the pantry is 241 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,960 they can form a defense around what's the talent that 242 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,840 you have. And I think we're going to be actually 243 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,240 you for talented, maybe even a little bit more so 244 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,080 this year than last year with the returners that we 245 00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:08,399 have coming back. Yeah, we've got a couple holes a field, 246 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,600 but schematics will allow us even if we have a 247 00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:17,840 weakness to cover up that weakness defensively. It's hard to 248 00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:23,600 cover up a weakness offensively. But again, that's what you 249 00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:28,200 have spring football for too. In Paul Camp to see 250 00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:32,519 place here versus this defense and this coverage. Can we 251 00:15:32,559 --> 00:15:36,120 go more man? Do we have to go more zone? 252 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,759 I'm not worried about whether it's coaching or schematics or 253 00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:44,000 the talent level that we'll have on Devens side. 254 00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: Of the level, Steve, there's going to be a number 255 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,360 of newcomers on the roster, transfer portal players, true freshmen 256 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,480 coming in return missionaries. Is there a newcomer that you're 257 00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:58,480 most intrigued by that you're excited to get eyes on, 258 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:01,159 size up and see how they move on the football 259 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,320 field for spring ball? 260 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 3: Well, I think the kid from Oregon. Yeah, yeah, yes, 261 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:20,679 thank you, because of the it's not a dire need, 262 00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:24,600 but kind of his receiver. I mean, if I say, well, 263 00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:27,440 Bear's gonna throw for four thousand yards, well freaking he 264 00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:29,960 better be throwing it to some some cats out there 265 00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:34,960 right that can do it. And so there's that, at 266 00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:37,360 least on the offensive side of the ball. I think 267 00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:41,679 Kyler has a lot of frusture, poor kid coming in 268 00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:45,320 from Oregon and and that kind of being having some 269 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,919 injuries in the last couple of years and so but 270 00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:52,559 in that spot, dude, like we need some dudes. But 271 00:16:53,039 --> 00:16:57,879 outside of him, Legend Glaster I think has the potential 272 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,399 there I go off again, and to be a top receiver, 273 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:08,440 a top five receiver in BYU history. I really do. 274 00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:14,799 I love that he's going to be one to where 275 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,839 I'm gonna be watching quite close is how he transitions 276 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:25,759 from high school to the college ranks. In that position, 277 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,839 I think he makes an impact early on kickoff return 278 00:17:31,599 --> 00:17:35,480 in special teams, and once he gets the knowledge of 279 00:17:35,519 --> 00:17:40,079 the offense and the playbook down, he finds himself rotating 280 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,000 in at receiver and I think by the end of 281 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,440 the year, you know, allowing if he's healthy, he's going 282 00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:53,440 to be in the starting rotation and you'll see a 283 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,960 lot of Legend for the next three or four years. 284 00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:02,559 Speaker 1: Legend Glasgow. He did test out, I've been told in 285 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,200 the offseason on the offense side of the ball. You know, 286 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,160 it's one of the fastest guys on the football field, 287 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,160 which I thought that was pretty crazy, coming as a 288 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,960 true freshman being one of the fastest guys on the team. 289 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 3: Well, but pound for pound he might be the strongest 290 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,039 on the team too. Was seventy but he is. He 291 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,319 is stronger than you think. And he tested out almost 292 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,359 I can't remember what he squatted, but it was it's like, 293 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,680 wait a minute, you're doing almost three times your body 294 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,400 weight and squads like it's insane. Because you look at him, 295 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,599 You're like, oh, that dude's not great. Oh no, no, no, 296 00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:43,960 he's uh well, we call it country strong. There's another 297 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,200 word in front of the strong that we use that 298 00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:49,480 I can't stay on the air, but we'll say he's 299 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,119 a country strong dude. 300 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: I love it. Man Steve Klevit's former v ER quarterback 301 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,799 talking some camp Koalani twenty twenty six. Spring ball kicks 302 00:18:58,839 --> 00:19:00,880 off today, ladies and gener we're gonna be down there 303 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,559 covering it, getting eyes on this team, interviewing players and coaches. 304 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,799 Steve Klements discussing what he's excited to see, who he's 305 00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:11,359 watching for. And you know there's other wide receivers, a 306 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,920 lot of these guys. I was talking with Hammer time yesterday. 307 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,519 We were talking with Ronnie and they're all looking at 308 00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:21,319 the wide receiver room. You mentioned Kyler Casper, you mentioned 309 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:27,160 legend Glasger, and there's Cody Hagen and obviously Jojo Phillips 310 00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:31,519 is a guy that could be a wide receiver one type, 311 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:38,400 Reggie Friscannect. There's some big bodies on this roster and 312 00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:41,160 it kind of reminds me of the era of like 313 00:19:41,279 --> 00:19:46,799 Cody Hoffman, Rossoppo, Mitch Matthews, Tarren Howk. There was a 314 00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:51,400 lot of big, strong, not necessarily the fastest wide receivers, 315 00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:56,720 but could always body up wide receivers and linebackers. Excuse me, 316 00:19:56,759 --> 00:20:00,200 they can always body up cornerback safeties and linebackers with 317 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,200 that great catching radius. I wonder if we're gonna see 318 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,119 a bit of that, especially with how well Bear Bachmeier 319 00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:08,039 throws the intermediate pass game. 320 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna We're gonna have to. That's I mean, 321 00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:16,440 that's what we have. I think, you know, because Higgins 322 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,599 can run, obviously, Lesing can run. Jaron Pool is another 323 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,680 one that's a big body kid. I'm not sure if 324 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,839 his speed. Because you're gonna have to be able to 325 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,599 stretch down the field. Now do you have to be 326 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,039 four four four or five to do that? No, but 327 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,759 you have to have a threat in which to do 328 00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:40,960 that to have a successful passing game, where I think 329 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,880 in Texas Tech we did not do. We threw the 330 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,839 ball over twenty five yards. I believe one time got 331 00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:53,480 a p I against Chase. So no, you don't have 332 00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:57,359 to be super speedy to stretch vertically the defense and 333 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,200 allow those you know, dbs to at least force to 334 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,119 backpedal a little bit quicker than they want. To but 335 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,640 you've got to have a dude down there to stretch 336 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,599 the field, and that opens up the intermediate in the 337 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,480 short game and getting into lj out of the backfield, 338 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,880 and you know the Lions kid or Sally Apoga I 339 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:25,039 think that I pronounce his name, Yeah, yeah, Sali Page. 340 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,839 You know, they're in the middle, and so I think 341 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,880 eventually we're gonna have plenty of weapons. Spring allows Jojo 342 00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:38,759 and Cody Hagen to master and really refine their crafts, 343 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,559 and then you know the cast for kid and get 344 00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:47,519 the timing down with forty seven. But yeah, you're gonna 345 00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:51,920 see that same type of body type and big body 346 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,640 or they can go up against the safeties and maybe 347 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,920 the outside backers and do some damage. Where Parker really 348 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,480 kills this is you know, that short slot quick Wes 349 00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:12,519 Welker type kid that I'm not sure. I don't know 350 00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:16,119 if Haigen's that way or not. I don't know if 351 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,559 we have somebody like that on the riser. Maybe that's Tiger, 352 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,359 that could be Tiger. You really need somebody like that 353 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,440 as a change up to if you're gonna have these 354 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,119 big body receivers on the outside and a tight end 355 00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:34,160 as well, you got to have some dude that can 356 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:40,240 create some separation, whether it's horizontally and or vertically, and 357 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,000 so that'll be a big question mark certainly. 358 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: Do you think Bear's gonna show an increase in arm 359 00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:49,880 strength and velocity of the football this season? Do you 360 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,039 think he? You know, how much progress can you make 361 00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,480 in arm strength? You know these are grown men now, 362 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,960 I mean he's a young quarterback, but like, how much 363 00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:02,920 increase in velocity and arm can a quarterback game in 364 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,960 an off season? 365 00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 3: In your opinion, I think you can make some. I 366 00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:10,799 think you can make strides to you know, putting a 367 00:23:10,839 --> 00:23:15,079 couple of yards on your arm strength or having it 368 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,200 come out with a little bit more velocity and a 369 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,079 little bit more pop. But for him, I think the 370 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,839 most important thing is going to be just pinpoint accuracy. 371 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:32,680 Instead of you know, aiming medium and missing medium, it's 372 00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:35,880 aiming small and missing small. And so I think I 373 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:41,000 think his accuracy becomes way more important in year two 374 00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:45,599 and and you're timing with new guys. I mean, he 375 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:51,480 didn't get much timing with Hagen, probably more so with 376 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,960 Jojo than the others because he played a little bit 377 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,119 more than Cody did. But he has hardly any established 378 00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:04,039 timing with these other guys. I mean we were so 379 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,559 good back in the day. I mean we had guys 380 00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:10,400 Eric Dredge. They couldn't run out of their own shadow, 381 00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:14,319 but they knew how to run routes, and they were 382 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,680 precision routes and there were attention to detail because we were 383 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,519 coached that and all our routes with their are running 384 00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:27,000 back or excuse me, our receivers, the quarterbacks was all timing. 385 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,000 So ty Damer had he didn't have very good armstring, 386 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:37,039 but he understood defenses, he understood his own personnel and 387 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,480 the timing. Yeah, he might have to let go of 388 00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:42,400 the ball a little bit earlier than somebody like John 389 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,480 Walsh or you know those guys that could just you know, 390 00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:50,519 Aaron Rodgers or somebody like that. They can just throw 391 00:24:50,559 --> 00:24:55,119 it through a brick wall with no problem. Understanding that 392 00:24:55,599 --> 00:24:59,119 your own talent and then your timing with your receivers. 393 00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:03,200 That's where you get the most out of spring football 394 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,359 with these guys. So there's a lot of work to 395 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,240 be done, but it's gonna be more I think on 396 00:25:09,279 --> 00:25:12,519 the accuracy side and the timing side with these young 397 00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:17,759 dudes or inexperience having bear not thrown to these guys. 398 00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:20,680 That's gonna be the biggest thing, and it's not gonna 399 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,960 be so much the two hours in spring football. It's 400 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,599 the two hours before and the two hours after and 401 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,160 the work on the weekends that's gonna get them to 402 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,119 another level. 403 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: My guys.
