If you didn't check it out, Me and 33 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.239 John did a lot of stuff over all lockdown sooner 34 00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:01.000 as I got to do some absurdly lucky interview from 35 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.879 Richard Johnson from CBS Sports, Jordan Rogers, ESPN, Jim Naggy 36 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.599 popped up and I mentioned it in the video of 37 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:12.560 one of the videos. I did other recaps, but I 38 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.080 kind of give some of y'all the story. They haven't 39 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.599 got to check it out yet. I don't know how 40 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:24.360 it happened, but like I somehow got lucky for him 41 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.520 to pull up. So we're me and John's at the table, 42 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.039 So our table's all locked on just podcasts in general. 43 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.599 And it's Oklahoma Day and we're me and John's hanging 44 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.639 out prepping and waiting for BV to go up there. 45 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.520 We had finished our interview with Robert Spears Jennings and 46 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.400 so we're like, all right, you know, get stuff together, 47 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.400 go downstairs, listen to BV do his intro. Because we 48 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.599 did the RSJ interview like an hour before they were 49 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.159 actually going out there.

I'm 55 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.240 just like, I didn't realize he was in town, but 56 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.560 it makes sense, you know, yeah, SEC media day, so 57 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.319 you know, I was like, okay, he came with the 58 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.240 team or whatnot.

So we were sitting right 61 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:34.199 next to them, and he's headed over to them to 62 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:39.280 do an interview. As he knows them. And then so 63 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.280 John gets up, shakes his hands and just introduce himself. 64 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.719 L whatnot introduce us both. He's like, hey, you know, 65 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.360 we just want to introduce ourselves. You know, we'll price 66 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.639 you around, you know, if you have time, we'd love 67 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.360 to talk with you. If not, no worries. And he's like, 68 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:59.719 I'll come back around. And I'm like, sure you are. Yeah, yeah, 69 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.439 appreciate it though. Appreciate that, you know, the niceness, right, 70 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.199 the nice gesture and everything. So he says this, and 71 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.759 I I'm like, yeah, So you know, I sit around there. 72 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:21.000 He he chit chats with a Thingstoia and uh and 73 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.480 I think it was I think it was I think 74 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:26.120 it was Eddie. I can't remember Eddie of Colton Sully somebody. 75 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.560 A few people will talk to him. And so he, 76 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.720 you know, he chit chats with him. He's like, yeah, 77 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.480 I gotta go do a couple of hits and I'll 78 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.439 come back over here.

I think he was a little longer, 86 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.360 uh exactly, and you know, I appreciate it. So I 87 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:56.839 was like, all right, I'm gonna go upstairs.

So 90 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.279 I'm sitting there listening and everything, and then he finishes. 91 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.600 They disperse and he's like, we got about ten minutes 92 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.600 before the players come into the pods and sit and 93 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.319 I'm like, all right, cool, I'm gonna go. I'll go upstairs, 94 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.560 get some stuff and come back. Dog. I go up there, 95 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.879 I sit, and one of the other guys out of 96 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.439 the whole group of people, he says he's gonna come 97 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.240 back to He's sitting right by me doing his interview. 98 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.959 I'm like, oh, shoot, he came back. I set up 99 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.279 real quick, just in case. As soon as he's done, 100 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.680 he walks up to me and he goes to my 101 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.639 seat and says, uh, that's where I sit. And I'm like, oh, yes. 102 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.959 Yeah, is this where I sat. 103 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is yeah, this is where 104 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.279 I mean, yes, that's where you sit. And I was 105 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.040 just awkward as hell and I was like, I was 106 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.360 not prepared for that. But it was cool to see that, 107 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.199 you know, he actually came back and chopped it up 108 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.040 with me and so interview was great. We'll talk about 109 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.560 that in a minute, because that's all, of course a 110 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:05.959 major topic there. But Coop, as you went through some 111 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.839 of the stuff that you saw coming down, talk to 112 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:10.199 me what did you what did you see? 113 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:10.680 What? 114 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.439 What jumped out to you? What quotes got your attention? 115 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.480 You know, there's a lot of quotes, you know, around 116 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:22.199 asking R Mason, Robert Spears, Jennings, you know, kind of 117 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.199 about their tour in season one, around different stadiums, a 118 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.399 lot of LSU questions, you know, how was that?

And so, you know, I think that 121 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.839 it was a really you know, really good set of 122 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.759 questions around you know, just your experience and uh, you 123 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.800 know how how you found that thing? 124 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:46.560 Uh? 125 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.680 In season one? You know what you're going to get 126 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.160 when you go to Norman? Was was another great one 127 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.519 because you know, it's a it's funny when you when 128 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.000 you listen to our Mason you kept on talking about, 129 00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.759 oh yeah, a lot of a C d C and 130 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.639 uh yeah, yeah, a lot of a lot, a lot 131 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.399 of a lot of rock and roll music.

I liked how he opened, 185 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:38.960 you know, I liked how he opened with talking about 186 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:44.919 the snaps that we had from young players. Yeah that 187 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.720 that's that's two years in a row. Cool, right, Yeah, 188 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.200 we're playing a lot of the younger players, a lot 189 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:55.080 more snaps than we probably even anticipated. And I remember 190 00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:59.480 when it was Miguel Chaves had dropped the it was 191 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:05.399 a he had dropped the stat that we had played 192 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:12.200 the most like freshman, red shirt, freshman's and sophomores to 193 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.320 in a season in twenty twenty three. So we played 194 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.440 a lot of young players and in this year was 195 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:22.720 very much similar to that, which you could tell you 196 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.279 could tell a lot of the youth was there. You 197 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:25.679 could tell a lot of youth in the way people 198 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.919 were playing well at the same time. Yeah, pretty exciting 199 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.519 to see that we're able to play young players and 200 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.919 be comfortable with it. I mean, you know, we know 201 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:37.639 how bad last year was, but the fact that you 202 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.799 were able to do that with you know that, with 203 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.559 a lot of young players and that defense be able 204 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.159 to do that, it's a pretty darn good thing. And 205 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.000 I did like that BV was you know, pretty complimentary 206 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.840 of you know, Jackson and others. Like you said, the 207 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.879 other players, it's something similar. I like the fact that 208 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.279 they they handled it with a lot of grace. They 209 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.159 didn't have to go out there and take shots. They 210 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.840 felt no need to because you know why, Like, what 211 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.879 what value do you bring? 212 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:09.879 Yeah? An good about that? 213 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.600 There's nothing good about being you know, being petty in 214 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.639 that capacity. Just go out there, you know, do what 215 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.879 you need to do, thank you know, thank him for 216 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.279 his service, and continue to you know, move forward. But 217 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.519 the young players cool. I think that was a That 218 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:25.879 was probably the one thing to jumped out to me 219 00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.879 the most. Yeah, a lot, It's like that's a lot more. 220 00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.320 I didn't expect them any steps real talk. 221 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:36.600 Yeah, and you know, I've gone back here the past 222 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.759 couple of weeks and rewatched a lot of the games 223 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:42.879 and it was crazy just you know, it was watching 224 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:47.279 the Alabama game yesterday and uh watched the watch the 225 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:50.120 Texas and Alabama game yesterday and some of the pre 226 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.360 you know, the stats towards the end of the year, 227 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.360 OHU was in the top ten in yards per rush 228 00:11:55.399 --> 00:12:00.000 giving up you know, and obviously they had they had 229 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:04.679 a boy and the hurt locker, Jalen Milroe and and 230 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.080 then you know, but that defense just you know, continued 231 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:10.360 to show, continue to show, continue to show, and and 232 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.320 you know, it's it's it's it's crazy just to look 233 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.159 at There was a one point where I think he 234 00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.279 was talking about the Alabama game and he looked out 235 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.559 and there were nine freshmen on the field, and so 236 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.279 you know, you look at that and you're just like 237 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.399 woll I mean, that's that's only great experience. And if 238 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:29.720 you can't, I mean, obviously nobody wants to go through 239 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.080 a season like we just went through last year, with 240 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:36.600 the injuries and with the the rotations, you know, nine 241 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.840 different starting offensive linemen. I don't even know how many 242 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.440 different combinations played at one point. 243 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.639 And the thing was up to the thirteen games, you 244 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:47.519 had some sort of a different configuration. 245 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.639 Yeah, but yeah, and you know it's it's it's you know, 246 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.399 it was sad. At one point, Brendan Thompson goes down 247 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.039 and you know, even even the commentators were like, oh 248 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:02.120 my god, not another not another wide receiver injury, Like 249 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.679 how many of these things? I watched the old Miss 250 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.879 game middle of the week, you know, pretty late, and 251 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.039 it was crazy how they were talking about with h 252 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.240 with their their I think it was wells was doubt 253 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.440 and it was just nuts how they were like, you know, 254 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:19.080 how much does it affect your team when you're you know, 255 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.639 number one wide receiver goes down and you know, I 256 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.000 know you fans were like, I mean, give us a break, 257 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.600 you know, what about what about your top six? And 258 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:30.000 you know there were no wide receivers in that game 259 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.159 that you know, I mean, I guess are slected to 260 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:33.960 start at this. 261 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:34.679 Point this year? 262 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.279 And so you know, it's it's that the young players 263 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.600 playing last year. If you can't get the blowouts, you know, 264 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.639 at least there's a silver lining in the fact that 265 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.840 you had a lot of those guys, you know, going 266 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.320 up against the best of the best in the SEC. 267 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:54.000 And now there is a new year coming and you know, 268 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.000 anything that's been done before this first snap of snap 269 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.679 one is it's only going to count towards experience and 270 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.519 because your record last year didn't mean anything, and that's 271 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:06.840 why you play the game. 272 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:12.360 Five new coaches Coop our Buckle, Kuziski, of course, the 273 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.600 county coach Kevin Wilson, and then of course the two 274 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.600 linebacker coaches and dry Ling as well as Goodwin. I 275 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:23.039 have a question here as we stay here with Brent Vnables, 276 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:26.399 because this question was asked a lot, and I actually 277 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.440 I want to record something on this and talk about 278 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.440 the shouts are guy Red Dirt sports in here. Red 279 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:34.840 is in here. He has telled all of you to 280 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.360 get in the water. Get in the water, because the 281 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:40.799 dude is sold on this team. So go ahead and 282 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.720 under and believe him when he says this. He's probably 283 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:50.559 the most not only connected but also cautiously optimistic people 284 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.559 that I know. He does not gas anything up, but 285 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.639 he's been saying get in the water. I'm getting in 286 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.600 the water, buddy, I'm in there. But question for you, Coop, 287 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.159 this has been asked of be like crazy, and I'm 288 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.799 trying to figure this out. It's everyone's asking him and 289 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.759 players about him now calling the defense. He's gonna go 290 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.080 do something that he didn't do before, which is be 291 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.799 the quote unquote defensive coordinator while so they head coach. 292 00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.679 While at the same time this isn't the first time 293 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:23.159 this has ever happened. I ask you this, Coop. First off, 294 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.600 what side of the ball do you feel like is 295 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.600 the most important side of the ball is the offense 296 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.240 of the defense. 297 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.799 I mean it's got to be the defense. Defense sets 298 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:36.639 the tone your defense. If your defense is good, then 299 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:39.039 you take away the game plan and the offense. And 300 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:42.320 I mean with the complimentary football is always the right answer. 301 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.679 But when your defense can go out and set the tone, 302 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.320 you know, it gives the ball back the you know 303 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.840 where your offense can go and execute its game plan. 304 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:54.519 You know on your own side. So if you if 305 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:57.679 you knock the opposing team's offense off their game plan 306 00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:59.639 and you get a chance to set up your offense 307 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:04.480 for they're full, you know on sught of plans, then 308 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.200 that's where you're going to run. 309 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.320 And I could totally agree with you there. I feel 310 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:16.039 like for myself, I think defense, as well as important, 311 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:21.080 is a little bit more important. But I'm also but 312 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:26.519 what we're seeing, based upon everyone's actions is offense is 313 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:28.559 the most important side of the ball. And I say 314 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:31.399 that because what you typically see is is that whenever 315 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:37.080 someone gets hired, they're typically most schools, teams NFL on 316 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.840 college are typically hiring more of the quote unquote offensive geniuses, 317 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:43.799 the ones that are figuring out how to get past 318 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:47.440 these defenses, which, granted, we're seeing that more and more. 319 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.240 And I think it's funny that a lot of people 320 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:53.639 are saying, oh, you know, you know, even though a 321 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.000 lot of people are questioning BB calling the plays on 322 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:01.480 defense when we have do that call the offensive plays 323 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:06.240 all the time, Like I don't understand, Like it's say, oh, 324 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.920 he must be failing because he now he needs to 325 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.680 call his defense. No, he's really good at it. That's 326 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.839 something that he's been very good at in his entire career. 327 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:15.960 That's similar to why you have your offensive guys. You have, 328 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:19.240 like most recently, Lane Kiffin has given up the play 329 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.920 calling duties. I think it's like a year ago he did. 330 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.119 But Clark Lee over at Vanderbilt ran his defense last year, 331 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:26.640 but he just gave it up to one of his 332 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.400 internal guys. I actually expect BV to do something similar. 333 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:33.640 That's for another conversation. But billion Apier still runs the 334 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.799 offenses at Florida. Josh Hipel calls the offense at Tennessee. 335 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:43.519 Sark calls the offense at Texas, right, Jimbo Fisher when 336 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.720 he was there at A and M. It's not a 337 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:46.200 good example, but at the same time, he was calling 338 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:53.359 the plays there, right. But it's fascinating how very common 339 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:54.799 it is on the offensive side of the ball, and 340 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:57.640 no one truly blinks an eye much, but when you 341 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.839 hear about a defensive guy doing it, people get like nervous. 342 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.240 So it makes me feel like even though teams hire 343 00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.119 more offensive dudes because they're looking for people to outdo 344 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.880 a defense, they think defense is more important. It's something 345 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:12.640 that requires someone to be fully dedicated to in order 346 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.519 to be successful. I thought that's a fascinating concept. As 347 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:19.559 everyone was asking BV about calling the defense this season, and. 348 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.480 And I liked I liked his response too, because he said, 349 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:24.119 you know, he went out there and it's I mean, 350 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.559 it's no, it's no hidden secret that you know. Jim 351 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:31.160 Knowles was his first choice, and then when that first 352 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.680 choice went away, he was his second choice. And in 353 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:37.160 watching some of the and god bless the folks who 354 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.680 put all the games out on YouTube, because I kind 355 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.039 of just happened into the eight Texas Tech game and 356 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:47.039 guess who was calling the defense against that high flying, 357 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.920 just disruptive team that just came off of a you know, 358 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:54.200 a win versus Texas. It was bren Vinables. Bren Vinables 359 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:58.559 was the defensive coordinator. They absolutely stifled that entire you know, 360 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.839 sexist Tech offense that day, and that sets you up. 361 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:04.960 And so I think that it is you know, we've 362 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.720 seen the backside of it where your offense is really 363 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.480 good and the defense is just an absolute sieve. And 364 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.079 we've now seen what happens when your defense is good 365 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:17.519 and your offense is just, you know, absolutely just stagnant 366 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.920 as all can get out. You got to have the 367 00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:21.039 complimentary football. 368 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:21.920 And with Brent. 369 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.400 Vinables able to go out there and say, hey, listen, 370 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:26.920 I was my second choice for the defense. And I 371 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:28.359 don't think that this is going to be a long 372 00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.640 term solution. I bet that you know, Brent Vivenables will 373 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.799 slowly start handing things over. But I think that with 374 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:37.599 how many head coaches on the staff, or how many 375 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.920 coaches on the staff have play calling and head coaching duties, 376 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.119 now you've got so many guys across the board. I mean, 377 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:46.359 that's what made Nick Saban, you know, great, as he 378 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.200 would go out and he'd get these guys on these 379 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.279 reclamation projects and bring him in. They knew how to 380 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.000 run stuff, they knew what would happen, and you know, 381 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.519 they would let you know, let Saban know, you know, 382 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:00.039 what their thoughts were. And I mean that's the the 383 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.920 reclamation project for Steve Sarkisian was getting to Alabama, going 384 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.240 in there, getting trusted with that offense, calling a good 385 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:09.759 offense to go with a good defense. So you have 386 00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.960 to have to if you have any type of if 387 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.920 you have any type of you know, hope that you're 388 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:17.720 going to go out and do the things that you 389 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.880 know this team has, you know, plans for You got 390 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.240 to have, you know, a respectable offense and a respectable defense. 391 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.039 And it's crazy you say that. Going back to that 392 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.039 eight game, they knocked off the number one team in 393 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.480 the country, Texas at the time, knocked them off thirty five, 394 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.720 thirty nine to thirty three, beat Oklahoma State, who was 395 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:37.799 number nine in the country at the time, fifty six 396 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.039 to twenty, and then lost to Oklahoma right afterwards. And 397 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.880 the funny thing about that is is when you look 398 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:47.359 at their entire breakdown on the season, they scored at 399 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:54.480 minimum thirty five points in every single game except for 400 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.559 against Oklahoma. 401 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:59.599 Sept And And let's be honest, that was I want 402 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:03.519 to say that it was. I'm check my math. You're 403 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:05.119 thirty five to three at half time. 404 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:07.240 Yes, yes, it was, it was. 405 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:07.839 It was. 406 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:13.119 It was no, I'm sorry, you're you're closed, but not 407 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:15.240 not correct. It was forty two to seven at the half. 408 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:17.799 Okay for Texas Tech. 409 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:20.160 Yes, they had seven points. They just quart a touchdown 410 00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:20.720 the second quarter. 411 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.279 So the the goal, I mean, the point remains. I mean, 412 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.240 you look at it. 413 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:28.319 Was thirty seven the third in the second quarter though, 414 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.920 it was almost blasting the tail and it came I'm 415 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.039 looking at the box scoring now because I'm cracking up 416 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:33.359 at it. 417 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:37.319 But uh, but regardless, you know, you've got you've got 418 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:39.480 all these guys calling these plays, you know, for their 419 00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:41.720 team on the offensive side, and you've got the uh 420 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.160 you know, I get to the scarecrow offensive coordinator. 421 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:45.759 Who is it by name? 422 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:50.519 But I promise you it's you want to you want 423 00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:54.000 to have, you know, faith in one side of the ball. 424 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.640 Then I you know, I want to say that like 425 00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.039 the defense, if you need a if you need to stop, 426 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:01.400 and if you need out, and actually make that happen. 427 00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:04.400 And you know, I know that somebody's in here chirping. 428 00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.000 But you know, ben Arbuckle was a guy who was 429 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.079 going somewhere big this season, and that was you know, 430 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:13.880 there was talks in that, you know early that was 431 00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.319 one of the I you know, I don't know for 432 00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.799 sure if our Buckle was number one or number two, 433 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.480 but he sure as hell wasn't number fifth option. And 434 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.440 a lot of the reason why is you wanted to 435 00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:27.680 bring somebody who was going to be able to bring 436 00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.599 some continuation. And then you know, that's one of the 437 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.119 things that John Matier talked about this weekend was you know, 438 00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:35.680 he didn't have to come in to learn a new 439 00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:37.759 offense like he was going to have to come in 440 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:40.519 and learn a new offense if he went to a 441 00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:43.039 North Carolina or if he went somewhere else. But having 442 00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:46.160 that continuation with our buckle having that continuation, and I 443 00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:47.920 only even I hate trying to even say his name, 444 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:49.079 the quarterback coach. 445 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:54.279 You know, that's that's so. 446 00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:56.480 That is a you know, that is a big That 447 00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:58.440 is a big, big thing. Is you're going to want 448 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.920 to go in and you know, install this offense, and 449 00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:03.960 if you've got multiple people who are out there able 450 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:06.759 to do it. You know, I heard in the spring, 451 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:09.519 you know a lot of the defense it was pretty 452 00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:13.359 frustrated because the offense was actually clicking. And so when 453 00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:15.759 your offense comes in, you know, that's only going to 454 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.200 make the defense even better, because I mean the defense, 455 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:19.440 I mean, you got to give it up to them 456 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:21.759 last year for doing as well as they did going 457 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:24.839 up against i mean, almost nothing all season long in practice, 458 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:28.640 and so they they're their best. Their best I guess 459 00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:33.119 practice came on Saturdays. And so you've got you've got Drumetier, 460 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.079 who is still. 461 00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:38.160 Before you get to that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, exactly. 462 00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.640 It is yet to be seen. But again, and we'll 463 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.119 talk about him and his comments in a second, but 464 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:50.519 I think it's fascinating just the way everybody's talking about 465 00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:53.559 BV running the defense I think that that's It's just 466 00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:58.039 it makes me laugh because so many people do it. 467 00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:00.400 Do it on the other side of the ball, it's okay, 468 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.720 And I guess because on offense you're controlling the pace 469 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:06.240 of the game more. I'm guessing that's what everybody thinks. 470 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.200 The timeouts need to be a little bit smarter and 471 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.359 all of that. But as it was mentioned in the 472 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:17.920 comments section, Kevin Wilson's most likely your offensive head coach 473 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:20.000 since you can have analysts on the field now and 474 00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:22.119 actually let them participate. That was one of the rules 475 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.759 that changed when all of the nil stuff went down. 476 00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:27.599 And so if Kevin Wilson's working with our buckle on 477 00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:32.359 making sure that the offense is flowing not only properly, 478 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:38.480 but also make sure that timeouts are called properly and 479 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.440 that focus is there so BV can do all the 480 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.240 defense stuff while still being the CEO. Some coaches are 481 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:47.119 heading back into that. Like I said, Clark Lee, he 482 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:51.160 just recently promoted one of his defensive assistants up to 483 00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:54.079 DC now after he ran it last year, and you 484 00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.920 saw how good Vanderbilt was. That was a massive turnaround 485 00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.319 because not only was the offense solid, the defense was 486 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.640 really solid a Israel as well, getting Diego Pavia and 487 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.119 his coach and Tim Beck. He didn't have to he 488 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:09.680 let Beck do his thing and now he can CEO 489 00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:11.759 it and really help with making sure everything's organized. So 490 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:13.039 that was a smart move on his part, which I 491 00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.680 think Vanderbilt's gonna probably be a sleeper. We'll do a 492 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.599 sec preview of who we think is gonna be where later, 493 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.319 but let's talk some of the player comments or whatnot. 494 00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:25.079 Thank you out for pulling up hit the like butt 495 00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:27.720 new to the channel, subscribe rate review, give us five 496 00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:32.400 insert ad here in the future when the season starts. 497 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:37.440 But cool so of course, materials the talk of the town. 498 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:42.279 But I really liked the Robert Spears Jennings quote that 499 00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:47.119 we saw from him when they asked him about the schedule, 500 00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:52.240 and he said when he said this, I was a 501 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:54.519 little shocked hearing it because it was at the pods 502 00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:58.359 or whatnot, and they asked him basically, first off, what 503 00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:00.359 they're doing, and he said this to me and John, Well, 504 00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:04.160 their focus on defense is being better communicating. Didn't feel 505 00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:07.559 like it was up to snuff last year, but that's 506 00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.559 their focus because a quiet defense is a dead defense. 507 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:13.599 That was quote number one. I love that of them. 508 00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:16.000 So he said those, So this year we're emphasizing communication. 509 00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:18.720 But the second one though, they asked him about the 510 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.640 toughness of the schedule, and he was like, I don't 511 00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.839 see it as tough. I see him as money games. 512 00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:27.119 Scouts are gonna be their agents are gonna be there, 513 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:29.680 everybody's be watching those are the games is gonna be 514 00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:32.160 on TV. People will be paying attention to So this 515 00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:35.119 is an opportunity instead, So you look at this as 516 00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:37.200 more of an opportunity than anything. And when he said that, 517 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:39.799 I was like, oh my gosh it dude gets it. 518 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:42.400 And he's becoming one of the vocal leaders there. What 519 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.160 you think about RSJ and his rounds? 520 00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:48.759 You know that's that that also, I'm glad you brought 521 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:51.400 that up because you know, Robert Spears, you know, obviously 522 00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:54.920 a Tassa kid. That's you know, we gotta love the 523 00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:58.559 Tulsa Boys. But not only you know, has that not 524 00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:01.440 been really requested of him up to this point, Like 525 00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:04.559 you know, he's got to learn from Billy Bowman. Uh, 526 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:06.640 he's got to learn from Danny, he got to learn 527 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:09.839 from Ethan And there's different leadership styles you know, when 528 00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:11.680 we go back to the quarterbacks, you know, when you 529 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:14.279 go from Baker to Kyler, that's two different leaderships. And 530 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.079 then going right over to Hurtz, that's a different, you know, 531 00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:20.039 set of leadership. You know, you and a Ratler and 532 00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:22.559 that's completely different. Caleb Williams completely different. 533 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:22.880 D G. 534 00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:23.839 It's like every. 535 00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:27.119 Single so he in his time, he's been able to 536 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.759 see a lot of really really you know, a variety 537 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.079 of leadership styles. And you got to think number one, 538 00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.279 I mean, his hard work, that's that's there, that's going 539 00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:40.799 to be there, and he has been an afterthought in 540 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.880 a lot of people's in a lot of people's perception, 541 00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:46.400 you know, to this point, because the dude just goes 542 00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:48.599 out and make plays like that's just one of the 543 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:51.960 things that he continues to do. You know, in watching 544 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:54.240 some of these games over again, you know, there there's 545 00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:57.599 times to where you know, you see you see somebody 546 00:27:57.640 --> 00:27:59.519 slide out and then all of a sudden RSJ comes 547 00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:01.559 down and makes it play and you're like, I forget 548 00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:05.720 about him all the time. And so he's he's got 549 00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:09.880 the production there, he's got obviously the skill set is phenomenal, 550 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:13.799 and when you have the defense that this team is 551 00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:16.920 going to have. It allows you just to play within yourself, 552 00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:19.400 do what you're going to do, and he's going to 553 00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.200 be able to you know, focus in on what he's doing, 554 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.519 focusing on his play. But then also you know, get 555 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:29.000 in and it's not just being loud and being vocal 556 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:32.119 and you know, ra on everybody up. Sometimes it's picking 557 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:34.920 somebody up. Sometimes it's grabbing somebody and saying, hey, don't 558 00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:36.720 you know let that let that one go, like we 559 00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:38.960 need you now here. And those are the things that 560 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:42.079 people are going to be paying attention to. On your 561 00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:45.079 comments about him saying this schedule is just money games, 562 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.519 I mean, yeah, you look at it as an opportunity 563 00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:50.319 and if the goal is gets the league, then you 564 00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.319 want to put up good film against good teams, and 565 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:54.920 it's going to be you know, much better than you 566 00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:58.480 know throwing out you know, I saw a stat you 567 00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:01.880 know about a specific you know, X conference of ours 568 00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:06.440 and there were two national championships, both in like the nineties. 569 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:09.640 I think that was the last. There's only two national 570 00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:12.240 championships in the history of that conference. 571 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.440 Right now, good lower when when you know. 572 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.200 As you know, when we left, I said it was 573 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:20.559 the now the Bless Your Heart Conference, because I think 574 00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:23.240 that when you go into these games, you know, week 575 00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:26.079 in week out, you know, typically they'll pick out impact 576 00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:27.920 players two on this side of the ball, two on 577 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:30.359 this side of the ball. It's more than that every 578 00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:32.400 single week, you know, when you have the schedule that 579 00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:35.359 we have, because you know you're looking at some of 580 00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:37.759 the top draft picks a week in, a week out, 581 00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:39.880 who are going to be in the NFL Draft of 582 00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.440 this coming April, are going to be coming from those games. 583 00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:44.960 You know, when you're lining up against a Texas, when 584 00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:47.359 you're lining up against an old Miss and LSU, those 585 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:48.400 things are going to happen. 586 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:51.880 Yeah, And that's the best part is the him pointing 587 00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:54.920 out how they're an opportunity just made me say, you 588 00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:57.920 get it, now, you get it, get everything. So that's 589 00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:03.559 the plus. Moving on from there, then you into our 590 00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:08.400 Mason Thomas and really his the thing he said he 591 00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:10.920 needs to focus on is gonna be setting the edge, 592 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.759 run stopping right. And I loved how he he pointed 593 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.799 that out, getting his weight up, getting stronger, maintaining his 594 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.440 speed and making sure that he's stopping the run. I 595 00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:24.839 was like, Okay, you get it. You understand the things 596 00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:26.839 that you need to do to help with that. You 597 00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:30.759 finished with nine sacks last season, and that's pretty darn 598 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.160 that's a lot. You know, six of those coming in 599 00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.319 SEC play, so you didn't you know stat pad and uh, 600 00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:38.640 you know in non con which a lot of teams 601 00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.640 you know and players do you got yours in actual 602 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:43.799 SEC plays when you get the bulk of your stuff. 603 00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:48.680 So for him, that's pretty big. I actually liked that, 604 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:50.519 and he talked of course, they both talked about Jeob Materion. 605 00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:53.079 We'll talk about him next. What you think about our Mason? 606 00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:54.799 Anything jump out to you for him? 607 00:30:54.839 --> 00:31:00.559 With him, you know, yeah, had the issues a free 608 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:04.480 though he didn't remember the creator. Uh so hopefully hopefully 609 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.680 he hooked that guy with some love at some point. 610 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:10.440 But I'll say that when R. Mason's out there, it 611 00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:15.079 is it was just immediately just just relevant that the 612 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:17.279 guy's just ready to get on the field like that. 613 00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:19.640 It just seems like that's all that he wants to 614 00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:21.240 do is to get out there and be on the field. 615 00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:23.759 And this guy takes it serious. 616 00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:25.960 And when you have people who take things serious and 617 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:27.920 they're not just all about talk, they want to get 618 00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:29.839 out there and do stuff. Those are guys that you 619 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:32.759 want to watch, because he could have said, yeah, you know, 620 00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:35.039 I I was, you know, in the top of the 621 00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:37.000 top of the sec and sacks, top of the nation 622 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.680 in sacks. You know, he saw weakness in his game 623 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:42.680 and he brought up the weakness. He did a little 624 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.960 eight mile M and M style right there. Right it's 625 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:47.720 you know, adding a few lbs. Want to be better 626 00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:51.240 at setting the run, you know, because he caused all 627 00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.039 kinds of havoc. And you know, I would say that 628 00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:56.440 last year didn't get in you know, an exceptional an 629 00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:59.240 exceptional amount of help from the other side. You know, 630 00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.640 the middle of the defense was really really good, but 631 00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.200 the edge part, you know, it was our mason and 632 00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:06.839 then a bunch of you know, happy helpers. And so 633 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:08.920 I think that this year he's going to get a 634 00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.440 lot more one on ones. But you know, the thing 635 00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:13.599 that's going to get him higher in the league is 636 00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:16.839 how well do you stop the run? Because even though 637 00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:19.799 the running backs are you know, not super value like 638 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.599 they used to be. And you know that's why nobody's 639 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:26.279 getting too stoked about, you know, running back recruiting. You know, 640 00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:28.200 new running backs in the you know, to your to 641 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:32.119 your NFL franchise anything like that. You you see that 642 00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:36.400 opportunity of you know, this defense is going to you know, 643 00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:39.119 with the complimentary offense, the defense is going to be 644 00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:41.079 putting teams in more of a spot. You know, that 645 00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:43.480 was the clear thing for the Alabama game. You know, 646 00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:45.720 a lot of our Mason's production is when it was 647 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:48.400 a dead set, we know that they're passing the ball. 648 00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:50.759 Our Mason showed up all the time, and it wasn't 649 00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.799 always getting there. It was forcing pressure, forcing up into 650 00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:57.319 somebody else, you know, forcing somebody into a bad raid, 651 00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:00.160 a bad coverage. And you know, so I think think 652 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.359 that that's good, you know, him wanting to point out 653 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:03.359 the things that he needs to. 654 00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:03.920 Get better at. 655 00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:07.279 You know, I'm all for that because this year, you know, 656 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:08.559 I think that there is going to be a lot 657 00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:10.039 more explosion on the other side too. 658 00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:14.119 And then they both talked about of course our guy 659 00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:20.319 John Mattier uh said he's funny, said that he does 660 00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:24.279 a really good job of leading, very vocal, but they 661 00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:27.079 all said that he's uh, he's funny. Both smiled whenever 662 00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:29.960 he was mentioned, which I thought was pretty funny. How'd 663 00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:32.000 you feel about my tears comments? You know, of course 664 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.200 everyone's comparing the Baker, you know, and he says, you know, 665 00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:38.799 you know, he appreciated other high praise. He's focused on 666 00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:41.519 being him and and and competing. What do you think 667 00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:43.519 about that? Because I know Baker Mayfield has recently made 668 00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:44.640 some comments about him as well. 669 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:48.440 Yeah, in Baker's football camp, was this bad? Was this weekend? 670 00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:52.319 But yeah, you know he got a little good fellas there. 671 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:54.240 Remind me and Joe Peshi when he says, what do 672 00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:56.599 you mean funny? Uh, you know, it's like, hey, I'm 673 00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:59.440 just busting your balls, you know whatever. But when they 674 00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:02.519 kept on saying him, hey, kept you know, they kept 675 00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:04.039 on bringing up and you know, it seems like he 676 00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:05.880 wanted to go take that out. But if you guys 677 00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:09.440 haven't seen he was talking about on the plane, uh, 678 00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:13.039 you know, to the to the SEC media days. They 679 00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:14.880 did some and I shared it with you. They were 680 00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:18.280 doing some quick hitters with Jim nagging, you know, asking 681 00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:20.199 him a bunch of questions, you like the Mountain, what's 682 00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:20.960 your screen time? 683 00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:22.159 What's your favorite movie? 684 00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:25.760 And you know he is he he is a guy 685 00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:29.599 that it seems like off on the side, he's all 686 00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:32.360 about the team. He wants to be entertaining. He wants 687 00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:36.039 to put on a show, and that that does sound 688 00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:38.239 like a lot of you know, really great quarterbacks want 689 00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:39.800 to put on the show, want to you know, want 690 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:42.079 to be uh you know, want the attention. And so 691 00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:46.480 you know, if if the production follows with that, this 692 00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:48.320 is going to be somebody that people are going to 693 00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:51.280 love as a fan and then everybody else is going 694 00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.760 to hate because you know, people are going to be 695 00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.159 drawn to him. You know, he has you know, he 696 00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:59.400 has production. He just you know, came off of a 697 00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:03.360 forty four touchdown campaign and so people that question of 698 00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:06.480 can it happen in the SEC? That's the question around 699 00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:08.840 him is can you do these things in the SEC? 700 00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:13.199 Can you bring that production here? And you know, everybody 701 00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:15.239 points towards cam Moore and him going down the a 702 00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:17.880 SEC and just lighting it up and really you know, 703 00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:20.800 being the driving factor behind that team. And so if 704 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.559 that production follows, then he's going to be one of 705 00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:27.000 those polarizing figures in the SEC and across the country. 706 00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:32.159 Exactly. He's got the opportunity to do that. So all right, 707 00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:36.400 let's talk about the preseason all SEC voting before we 708 00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:39.320 do that. Thank you out for pulling up hit that 709 00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:41.559 like buddon. If you new to the channel, subscribe, rate, review, 710 00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:43.960 give us five. Feel free to drop your questions in 711 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.519 the comments. We will address those at the end of 712 00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:50.800 the show. I've been starring some as they come in 713 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:57.239 and we'll talk about that in a bit. But preseason 714 00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:01.880 All All SEC as well as where the media at 715 00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:07.880 Oklahoma set So first off Preseason All SEC listing, you 716 00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:10.719 got our Mason as well as jayde and I at 717 00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:14.320 the second team and then Ben Anderson third team. He's 718 00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:17.400 been like always raved about as the long snap or whatnot. 719 00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:19.280 But I thought it was interesting and this is what 720 00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:24.760 we actually expected that I was gonna get start to 721 00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:27.679 get more and more attention. And it appears at the 722 00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:32.880 media that was there at SEC media days, they're they're 723 00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:35.639 all very high. I know the ESPN guys when I 724 00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:39.000 was chatting with them about it, they're like, dog, they 725 00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:41.559 think y'all got the most explosive back. Y'all may have 726 00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:43.679 the best back in the SEC. We seed to see 727 00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.159 him see him healthy. You gotta see him healthy. If 728 00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:48.639 he's healthy, he's probably the best one. I was like, 729 00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:53.199 fair point, Yeah, what you think who do you think 730 00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:53.880 got snubbed. 731 00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:59.440 I mean altogether, you just go through here and when 732 00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:01.119 you're looking through the team and I've got up here 733 00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:03.800 on the other screen, you look through, you know, you 734 00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:07.159 look through the team and you got you got some 735 00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.480 you know, some crazy names in here. I think that 736 00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:13.679 it's going to be it's going to be down to record. 737 00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:16.599 You know, right now the Leonora sellers as the number one. 738 00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:19.000 I think that John Mattier a lot of people are 739 00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:21.719 in that thought of you know, hey, listen, we're going 740 00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:25.639 to say prove it before we do anything. And let's 741 00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:30.039 be honest. This preseason, all preseason, you know, this talk season. 742 00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:33.719 This is just the opportunity for them to talk. And 743 00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.400 you're gonna want to be in the postseason. And that's 744 00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:39.400 the that's the that's the teams that you're gonna want 745 00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:42.719 to be on. Plus you you also want to uh 746 00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:44.360 get the get the you know, get. 747 00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:44.920 The records right. 748 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:47.440 So uh you know, off o, you you know, I'd 749 00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:51.679 like to see I think Kip Lewis, you know, Jaden Jackson, 750 00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:54.559 you know obviously coming in as you know, a freshman 751 00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:58.280 All American last year, you know, he's only going to 752 00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:01.840 be better. I is a is a guy who I 753 00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:05.280 thought you might see in there. And also you know, 754 00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.360 I know that the way that they do the defensive backs, 755 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.039 it's kind of four guys. You know, there's there's a 756 00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:13.079 rotation safety uh safety, and then you know. 757 00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:16.079 Just you for the voting is you pick eight dudes 758 00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:19.199 on eight DB's period and it's all like a combination 759 00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:22.000 of same d line. It's you pick just defensive linemen. 760 00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:26.320 It's edges and d linemen together, and then the secondary 761 00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:29.360 is basically just all dbs so include safeties or whatnot. 762 00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:32.119 So yeah, it's it's it's quirky the way it's done, 763 00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:34.280 but it's just all encompassing. You pick eight people and 764 00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:34.639 it's it. 765 00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:41.480 Yeah, so you know, happy for our Mason, you know 766 00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:45.280 as far as like what he can do, you know, 767 00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:46.920 but I but I do you know, I think that 768 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:50.199 this is you know, we were talking about superhero movies 769 00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:53.880 earlier today, and a lot of superhero movies they need 770 00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:56.039 they need the cast members who are going to be 771 00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:58.840 the complimentary cast members to go along with some of 772 00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:00.880 these stars. And you know, there's a lot of talk 773 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:03.440 around you know it's crazy because you know, at the 774 00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:04.880 one side of my mouth, I say, it's like the 775 00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:08.280 you know, preseason, you need some of the preseason recognition 776 00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:11.119 in order to you know, loft yourself up in some 777 00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:15.920 of the national awards, you know, conversations because a lot 778 00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:17.800 of time guys are going to go back and you 779 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:19.800 know a lot of these people don't watch the games. 780 00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:23.760 They they watched the box scores and they see those portions. 781 00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:26.199 So if you're a stat stuffer, you're gonna get a 782 00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:28.960 lot more recognition than someone who makes effective. 783 00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:30.239 Plays, you know, play in and play out. 784 00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.159 But yeah, I mean, Jade not let's let's let's let's 785 00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:37.599 dive into aught because you know, this is a guy 786 00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:41.480 who Jim Nagy uh you know, had eyeballs on before 787 00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:44.199 he even came to Oklahoma and that was a big 788 00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:46.360 get for him. Is because they needed, you know, we 789 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:50.119 have needed a difference maker because I mean outside, I 790 00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:53.800 mean since Kennedy Brooks. You know, Eric Gray had himself 791 00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:56.079 one good year when he was the offense and that 792 00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:58.920 was it. But then you know, Kennedy Brooks was the 793 00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:01.519 last guy that you know, you just you know, really 794 00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:05.360 feel like he was going to you know, you knew 795 00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.440 what you were getting out of Kennedy Brooks. And so 796 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:09.960 I think that you know, a lot of people were 797 00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:12.800 excited about Xavier Robinson and coming in the season, but 798 00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.719 if at can you know, be healthy, that's a guy 799 00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:18.280 who is you know, a first round you know, a 800 00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:20.840 first round, second round type of a running back. 801 00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:21.400 Uh. 802 00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:23.599 He's a guy who can do it all. He can block, 803 00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:25.760 he can you know, catch out of the backfield, and 804 00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:27.519 he can run the he can run the rocks. So 805 00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:29.440 you know, he is a guy that a lot of 806 00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:31.719 people are gonna have eyeballs on this season. 807 00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:36.719 He's one that's gonna be watched hardcore this year. He's 808 00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.280 won that a lot of people care about wanting to 809 00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:44.239 see what he turns into. Uh, just because of the 810 00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:47.079 promise you saw as a freshman and as a sophomore, 811 00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:50.320 I mean twenty you know, twenty one hundred yards or 812 00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.280 whatnot in those first two seasons, You're like, oh, he's 813 00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:55.320 gonna be another one of the power running backs. Remember, 814 00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:57.840 Calby produces some backs I mean from J. J. Arrington 815 00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:03.119 to Marshaan that like, we we're not gonna pretend like 816 00:41:03.559 --> 00:41:07.480 Kyl doesn't put backs out. That's that's that's what Kyle's 817 00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:09.639 known for doing. Find him California running backs and throw 818 00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:12.639 him on the field. They all seem to be really, 819 00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:18.559 really good. But yeah, I'm interested to see the health 820 00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:24.519 of or whatnot. Our Mason being second team that was expected. 821 00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:29.840 There's a lot of really good defensive linemen in the 822 00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:37.679 SEC this this season. I did. I was surprised about 823 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:40.719 Robert Spears Jennings not getting looked at. He was one 824 00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:46.079 of the higher graded guys in the UH in the 825 00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:52.000 SEC last year as a safety, so I was actually 826 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:54.800 thinking that if anybody was probably gonna get looked at, 827 00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:57.480 it was gonna be him. So that was really that 828 00:41:57.519 --> 00:41:58.880 was I'm gonna be honest, that was a pretty much 829 00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:02.320 shocker to me. I was like, oh, okay, that's what 830 00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:03.159 we're doing, all right. 831 00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:04.920 Yeah, he's. 832 00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:09.119 I mean, he's going to be in a good rotation 833 00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:17.159 of safeties. You know, between him and Hardy, You've got Peyton, Bowen, Boganowski. 834 00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:18.960 There's gonna be a lot of different guys out there 835 00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:20.119 who are going to be able to do it. And 836 00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:23.159 so you know you don't have a guy, you know. 837 00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:25.800 I think that Billy Bowman was another one. You know, 838 00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.840 he he never came off the field last year and 839 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:31.440 you could see it sometimes, you know, he would get 840 00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:34.320 tired and he would, you know, have one of those moments. 841 00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:36.800 But you know, I think that that's gonna be one 842 00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:38.599 thing that when you have a you know, you know 843 00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:40.480 you're four deep and you've even got you know, a 844 00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:42.559 lot of faith in some of the young pups. There's 845 00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:45.440 a lot of safeties, you know in this conference who 846 00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:48.280 who are going to be put to the test. I 847 00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:51.440 bet that there's going to be a good amount of 848 00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:56.039 running the run, the rushing yards by you know, I 849 00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:58.039 guess running backs in general over the past couple of 850 00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:01.000 years in the SEC has been relatively low because there's 851 00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:02.800 been a little bit more high flying attacks and so 852 00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:05.400 I think with so many new quarterbacks coming in, that's 853 00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:07.719 something that you're gonna see and so some of the 854 00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:10.920 safety numbers may be elevated a little bit more. And 855 00:43:11.199 --> 00:43:14.280 also when that comes is what happens is you've got 856 00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:17.039 to be able to to pivot pretty quick when it's 857 00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:19.559 play action. So, you know, the best safeties in this 858 00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:20.880 league are going to be the ones that are going 859 00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:22.679 to be able to, you know, be a supporter in 860 00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.800 the running game, but then also get into coverage and 861 00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:27.719 you know, not give up any of these big bombs 862 00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:28.280 down the field. 863 00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:30.800 It's a fair point. Don't know what y'all think. Hop 864 00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:33.440 in the comments, Definitely give us your thoughts, who you 865 00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:36.320 think got snubbed, who you think probably should have gotten 866 00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:41.440 a much bigger look. Definitely want to hear from y'all 867 00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:46.599 on that. Yeah, I know y'all arguing with that individual. 868 00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:49.480 I thank him for pulling up because all he does 869 00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:52.840 is make everybody engage with us. So just you know, 870 00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:55.920 if you're smart, you know exactly what the point is. 871 00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:59.039 And just you know, we don't. We don't. We don't 872 00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:03.039 acknowledge losers. So we move forward on from that next one. 873 00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:07.000 Preseason Poe was interesting to me though, Coop, So after 874 00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:11.840 you did the whole preseason oh you have yeah, I 875 00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:14.760 actually you agree with you sooner Cowboy Kip probably should 876 00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:20.320 have gotten a lot more recognition on there, but you know, yeah, 877 00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:22.679 so yeah, that's a crazy one, right, And Chuck, you're 878 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:24.920 right Naggie with me when I chatted Wold Naggi about 879 00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:29.000 it till you mentioned that odd is healthy and that's 880 00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:31.599 the exciting part. And this offensive lines will be real good, 881 00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:41.119 really good us like old school. But yeah, preseason Poe, 882 00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:43.519 and it's funny because you're here in the national a 883 00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:44.880 lot of the lot of the media at the SEC. 884 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:47.320 They were really everybody's intrigued by Oklahoma. They want to 885 00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:49.320 see the bounce back. They want to see if the 886 00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.480 bounce back actually happens. And you know, granted, I totally 887 00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:54.519 get it, because the bounce back is the most important thing. 888 00:44:54.559 --> 00:45:00.440 We want to see if the team, you know, fixes 889 00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:04.400 everything he needs to fix, Well, here we are. And 890 00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:08.639 when they did the polling, Oklahoma said it number ten, 891 00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:13.599 and but they got three votes to win the conference. 892 00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:14.960 What do you think about that? 893 00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:20.119 Hey, you're right, You're right where you want to be. 894 00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:23.199 I guess you know, there's it is a show me 895 00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:25.079 It is a show me year. You got to get 896 00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:28.320 out there and get out there and do it this 897 00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:31.320 you know, this will be Oklahoma's going to be a 898 00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:34.559 team that you know, after five or six games, people 899 00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:36.599 are going to know, all right, So what are we 900 00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:38.480 looking at? Because you go out and you throw the 901 00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:41.840 offense and that's what it is. It's does the offensive line? 902 00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:46.360 Can they be better? And can the weapons around Matier 903 00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:51.039 allow them to have an identity on offense? And it's 904 00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:54.039 it's that And you know, I'm just going to go 905 00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:57.800 off of looking at production because there's no you know, 906 00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:00.639 John Matier has done it in a lower conference. He 907 00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:02.599 went out and he put the numbers up, he played 908 00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:04.960 the teams out in front of him. That was our buckle, 909 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:08.239 and that was every single bit about it. You got 910 00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:10.960 to show up and you got to do what it's 911 00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:14.079 going to you know what what you can. I think 912 00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:16.400 that the offensive line, it's going to be the basic 913 00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:19.639 basic situation as it was last year, is if the 914 00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.679 offensive line can go out there and uh, you know, 915 00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:26.800 be a formidable crew, then this team is going to 916 00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:29.440 be hell to deal with because I think that the 917 00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:33.320 way the schedule breaks out is it is very very 918 00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:37.199 very favorable. Where the where the buys are, you know, 919 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:39.199 getting getting l s U a home at the end 920 00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:42.119 of the season, you know that game could mean a lot, 921 00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:46.920 you know, for for for the conference. And so you 922 00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:50.360 also got to be healthy and listen, if you are 923 00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:53.119 one of the people who says, you know, we just 924 00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:54.800 got to stay healthy this year, we can't have a 925 00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:58.639 repeat of last year. That's never been That's never been 926 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:01.199 a situation, you know in this team. I mean, I 927 00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:05.000 guess you could say maybe the nine season when you 928 00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:07.960 know Bradford goes down against byu Gresham gets hurt. 929 00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:10.320 You know, you you have the the. 930 00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:14.320 Landry Jones era begin you know that's maybe the last time. 931 00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:16.400 So I mean, what are we saying in twenty five years, 932 00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:17.760 You've had two seasons like that. 933 00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:20.199 This is going to be a year. 934 00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:22.599 This is gonna be years where if you know you 935 00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:24.760 have the health around it, it's going to be does 936 00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:28.519 the offensive line progress? And you know that none of 937 00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:33.159 the offensive line, you know Hopium, you know, coming from 938 00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:36.360 you know, coming from US is unfounded. You know, we 939 00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:38.280 talk to a lot of people and a lot of 940 00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:40.920 people are very excited about what this offensive line is 941 00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:43.440 going to be. And that's uh, that's you know, that's 942 00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:45.760 a situation where you know, you guys got like Ryan 943 00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:49.679 foj and you know Fasusi, those guys are pushing folks. 944 00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:53.400 You got Jacob Sexton up over three thirty. You know 945 00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:56.199 you saw, uh, you saw Troy Everett looks like he 946 00:47:56.320 --> 00:48:00.000 is absolutely stacked. So I think that this offensive line, 947 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.039 I knows that this is a year for them to 948 00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:04.320 prove it, and they're going to go out and do it. 949 00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:06.800 And when your coaching staff is all on the same page, 950 00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:09.320 it's going to be it's going to be really nice, 951 00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:13.000 because that's another thing we're hearing is you know, with Latrell, 952 00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:16.800 God bless him and everything he does going forward, he 953 00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:20.480 just wasn't good at this and and so there is 954 00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:23.440 there's everybody's on the same page when it comes from 955 00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:27.119 the OC staff, the quarterbacks, wide receivers, the offensive line, 956 00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.039 all these coaches are all getting to get along and 957 00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:30.960 you're going to see that. 958 00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:40.119 Yep, You've got a lot of good stuff building this year. 959 00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:43.280 And that's the probably of the thing that puts a 960 00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:45.039 big time smile on my face. It's all you need, 961 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:51.199 it is for everything to just start working out together. 962 00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:53.679 You don't, you don't And of course injuries. Injuries is 963 00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:56.320 the probably the biggest one. But if everything just falls into 964 00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:59.559 place barring alla Tho's I always talk about, I think 965 00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:01.920 we are solid LEAs. Thank you so much for the 966 00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:05.159 tim bucks. We appreciate super Chat. If you want to 967 00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:09.000 get an immediate response, drop a super Chat support the channel. 968 00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:11.599 We will be healthy, we will have a great year. 969 00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:16.039 Enjoy you guys who appreciate you. Let's Wilson, we appreciate you. 970 00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:19.280 We enjoy you being here and fighting with everybody in 971 00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:21.320 the common section. Y'all be out there getting it. I 972 00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:23.679 love it. I love the battle in there, and we're 973 00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:28.199 gonna make sure that we do what we can to 974 00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:34.519 make sure that, uh, you all have a place to 975 00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:36.239 go and get into those fights. 976 00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:39.480 So did you did you hear Brent vinibles did drop 977 00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:41.840 a competitive depth So if you got your drinks, do it. 978 00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:47.320 Uh he dropped a competitive depth in in the press conference, 979 00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:51.039 and the buzzword has uh has gone away now because 980 00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:53.639 I think that that's h that is in place. But 981 00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:56.400 I was pretty excited to him hear him at least 982 00:49:56.480 --> 00:49:57.400 drop one of them. 983 00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:00.639 Yeah that that that was pretty good to hear him 984 00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:02.880 give us one of those. And I was like, oh, okay, 985 00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:05.360 there's a week ago. He understands that. And I mean 986 00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:08.360 that even goes in consideration of the as he talked 987 00:50:08.360 --> 00:50:10.679 about with how many young players we played last year, 988 00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:19.280 which is very much helpful. Yeah, you can't beat that. 989 00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:26.360 You can't beat that. We that we have a lot 990 00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:28.880 of young players and we're playing a lot of young players. 991 00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:32.639 And I've said this before, who this to me is? 992 00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:35.840 This is kind of how to me? BV kind of 993 00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:39.599 built this a little backwards instead of forward. Was the 994 00:50:41.280 --> 00:50:45.159 we're the players, we're playing at youth now should have 995 00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:48.719 probably been playing in the second season. That's where we 996 00:50:48.760 --> 00:50:53.199 should have been having the players that he wants, that 997 00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:55.800 this team wanted. You probably ticularly want to play a 998 00:50:55.840 --> 00:51:00.679 lot of those young and not a couple of years 999 00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:03.320 back when he first got here instead of basically refreshing 1000 00:51:03.320 --> 00:51:08.760 after the twenty three season like he did. But hey, 1001 00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:13.159 what he's building though, gets you in a direction that 1002 00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:17.119 can help you to be competitive. And that's what leads 1003 00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:23.599 us to this next conversation. Coop, who hm, how do 1004 00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:30.360 I say this? Good lord? That is crazy anyway? Blue 1005 00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:35.639 chip ratio. So Bud Elliott over by the fire, I start. 1006 00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:37.280 I think you're pulling up. Hit the like button new 1007 00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:45.239 two channce subscribe rate review give us five m Bud 1008 00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:51.400 Elliott for CBS Sports two four seven rating site. Every 1009 00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:54.000 year he puts together a list of the eighteen teams 1010 00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:58.920 they can win a national championship, and the eighteen teams. 1011 00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:03.360 He's picked that eighteen specifically because no one outside of 1012 00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:06.000 the eighteen has ever made it into the playoffs in 1013 00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:12.599 their playoff era. Well correction, he said four of them have, 1014 00:52:12.760 --> 00:52:15.599 and the four that have made it anywhere, they've all 1015 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:22.559 gotten blown out but he's pointed out that when it 1016 00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:25.039 comes to his blue chip ratio, the blue ship ratio 1017 00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:28.000 base on two four to seven's ratings, these teams are 1018 00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:30.639 the ones that are capable of winning. Last season, Oklahoma 1019 00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:32.280 was on that list, they were like seventy four or 1020 00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:35.880 something like that, seventy five. So injuries, of course, is 1021 00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:37.480 the only reason why you don't get to move forward 1022 00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:42.840 because you get hurt, can't do anything about it right off, right, Yeah, yeah, 1023 00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:44.599 it's kind of hard to play when you're playing nothing 1024 00:52:44.639 --> 00:52:47.000 but freshman. You don't win as championships with all freshmen. 1025 00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:50.400 Basically in sophomores, it's no team does it usually as veterans. 1026 00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:53.280 The older teams. Ohio State's an example of that, very 1027 00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:54.920 much older. They lost a lot of players that they 1028 00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:56.599 still got their top deventsive players. So they should have 1029 00:52:56.599 --> 00:52:59.440 a really this year this season, and quarterback is critical. 1030 00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:03.840 But this though blue chip ratio, it's kind of crazy, man. 1031 00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:06.719 So these the top the top eighteen is here's the 1032 00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:08.719 first nine. Guess who's number nine there? 1033 00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:13.599 Coop, Oh, yes, you know it's. 1034 00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:18.840 This is It was one of the teams that that 1035 00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:24.920 lost Washington. That was I think Washington wasn't on the 1036 00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:27.880 top of the blue chip Was it two years ago 1037 00:53:28.880 --> 00:53:31.280 when they lost to Michigan that might have been one 1038 00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:35.599 of the teams and then But yeah, I mean this 1039 00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:37.760 this this is who you who you think it is. 1040 00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:40.840 I mean this, this list is going to be the 1041 00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:44.800 same probably next year. There's not there, you know it. 1042 00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:48.360 It is still about the Jimmies and Joe's. You gotta have, uh, 1043 00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:50.960 you gotta have the you know, the players, especially in 1044 00:53:51.039 --> 00:53:54.880 key positions, and you know you also have to have 1045 00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:56.840 the coaching and you have to I mean, let's be 1046 00:53:57.280 --> 00:53:58.920 let's be honest. There has to be a little bit 1047 00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:02.599 of luck in here too, has getting through the entire season. 1048 00:54:03.079 --> 00:54:05.280 You know, somebody gets rolled up on in the second 1049 00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:09.679 to last week, and if you don't have quality depth 1050 00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:12.760 behind them, you know that that's tough. But also, you know, 1051 00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:15.559 you take a starter who is a guy who's headed 1052 00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:18.400 for the league, and if he tweaks his ankle and 1053 00:54:18.440 --> 00:54:20.679 he's been able to come back two weeks later, you know, 1054 00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:23.760 that's lucky. If it's six weeks later, that's that's unlucky. 1055 00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:27.400 So you know, you being on this one obviously doesn't 1056 00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:31.119 surprise me. You know, oh, he's been you know recruiting 1057 00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:35.719 at a high clip for a long time. And you 1058 00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:38.079 know this this you're gonna pick your You know, most 1059 00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:39.960 of the playoffs teams are going to be right out 1060 00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:40.519 of this group. 1061 00:54:42.159 --> 00:54:45.440 These are the ones. And as we know, feel Still 1062 00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:48.199 who makes one of the football Bibles that I read 1063 00:54:48.239 --> 00:54:51.679 every year and make share order. He has Oklahoma as 1064 00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:59.719 his ninth best team and actually must see something because 1065 00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:00.920 of course I had it right in front of me. 1066 00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:03.960 I keep it with me at all times. This is, 1067 00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:07.079 you know, one of my favorite things to read through, 1068 00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:09.239 and this is how I keep up with the teams, 1069 00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:11.559 look at who's who and try to get an understanding 1070 00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:14.800 of what. Let me see he has. As I look 1071 00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:22.760 at this here in his top nine, only one team 1072 00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:26.519 is swapped in and out from what Phil still has 1073 00:55:26.559 --> 00:55:31.159 in his top four preseason top forty teams. And that's 1074 00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:34.440 no Penn States on here. But everybody has Penn State 1075 00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:36.400 as the number one team in the country, which I 1076 00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:39.280 always think was funny. But Penn State's number ten on 1077 00:55:39.320 --> 00:55:42.000 the list. They make top nine, but they're number ten. 1078 00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:48.159 And in his top ten, Phil still has doesn't have LSU, 1079 00:55:48.199 --> 00:55:51.880 but LSU is one that should be listed on there. 1080 00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:56.760 But LSU is a top nine team in the blue 1081 00:55:56.800 --> 00:55:58.679 chip ratio. But I thought that was fascinating because it 1082 00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:01.239 goes all the way down fifty four percent down to 1083 00:56:01.239 --> 00:56:05.320 Florida State. Typically, your team that wins it is usually 1084 00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:08.159 in the seventies. I think it's like seventy and up. 1085 00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:10.800 The only one in all of them that has won 1086 00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:14.239 it that has not been in the seventies was Michigan. 1087 00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:17.320 Two years ago. Michigan was fifty four in their blue 1088 00:56:17.360 --> 00:56:19.719 chip ratio. And the one thing we know about Michigan 1089 00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:24.239 is they get a ton of recruits. At least they 1090 00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:29.039 have over the years. That has kind of changed as 1091 00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:31.360 of late. They've been winning a lot, spending a lot 1092 00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:34.280 of that money, but their blue Ship ratio is not 1093 00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:36.639 as high as you think. They're just over the physical dude. 1094 00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:39.320 They get the right dudes to push people around. I 1095 00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:40.920 think Oklahoma's going that direction as well. 1096 00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:43.480 It's yeah. 1097 00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:47.679 I mean when you see you see teams like Wisconsin, 1098 00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:52.039 Penn State, Michigan, those guys. The difference between them and 1099 00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:54.960 Ohio State just in general is the fact that Ohio 1100 00:56:55.000 --> 00:56:58.079 State throws some skill out there too. Because those teams 1101 00:56:58.159 --> 00:57:00.000 up there are always going to get great athletes. 1102 00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:00.840 It's on the. 1103 00:57:00.840 --> 00:57:04.159 Defense of an offensive line. Michigan's always going to have 1104 00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:05.920 great running backs. They're always going to able to run 1105 00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:06.239 the ball. 1106 00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:08.199 And you know with J. J. 1107 00:57:08.360 --> 00:57:10.599 McCarthy, uh, you know, he had a good amount of 1108 00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:12.480 wide receivers. And what's crazy is there's a lot of 1109 00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:15.880 my you know, Michigan wide receivers in the league, you know, 1110 00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:17.880 a lot more than some teams who like to run 1111 00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:18.679 their mouth quite a bit. 1112 00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:19.480 Uh. 1113 00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:22.719 But you know there's there's uh there, there's the skill 1114 00:57:23.039 --> 00:57:25.400 in you know, all the key spots. Michigan also does 1115 00:57:25.400 --> 00:57:28.800 really good at tight ends and so you know, it's it. 1116 00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:31.559 It does kind of shocked me that there's not more 1117 00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:36.400 I guess what you would say, there's not more success 1118 00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:39.760 up there in Michigan. You know, Ohio State has had 1119 00:57:39.800 --> 00:57:42.559 you know, has a recent national championship too, but you know, 1120 00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:44.239 for the longest time, you know that they were kind 1121 00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.360 of the same thing as you know, Oklahoma's getting to 1122 00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:49.480 uh you know, going going all the way and then 1123 00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:53.159 getting getting dealt by an SEC team was always always 1124 00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:56.039 a thing that Ohio State was having trouble too. And 1125 00:57:56.119 --> 00:57:58.400 so now with the you know, you got some money 1126 00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:01.480 to throw around it's it's more you know, I guess, 1127 00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:05.239 I guess all all all uh, all is fair. Now 1128 00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:07.840 you throw the money out, you get you know, you 1129 00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:10.760 get a player here there. Underwood is going to be 1130 00:58:10.800 --> 00:58:13.639 a big time player if he can keep the weight 1131 00:58:13.719 --> 00:58:16.360 down and you know you can put some you know, 1132 00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:18.039 put some folks around him too. 1133 00:58:18.639 --> 00:58:18.840 Uh. 1134 00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:21.119 You know, they they've got that opportunity out there. You 1135 00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:21.280 know that. 1136 00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:23.960 You know there's always gonna be the asterisks on Michigan's 1137 00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:27.679 national championship with the old uh the old spygate situation 1138 00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:30.400 and and so you know they they're gonna want to 1139 00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:31.039 get back up there. 1140 00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:32.880 But I mean, you got to have you got to 1141 00:58:32.920 --> 00:58:35.199 have the guys, because let's just go. 1142 00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:37.840 I mean, if you've got five offensive linemen who are 1143 00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:40.960 just really really good and you get into a you know, 1144 00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:43.880 winner take all type of a game, you know you 1145 00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:47.360 can play well as a unit and you're still going 1146 00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:50.480 to give up your fair share. And when you're playing 1147 00:58:50.559 --> 00:58:53.119 guys with you know, when you're playing guys who are 1148 00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:55.800 going to be first round draft picks, second round draft picks. 1149 00:58:56.119 --> 00:58:59.400 You know, Perennial, all Americans are not all Americans, but 1150 00:58:59.440 --> 00:59:02.599 Pro bowlers in the NFL I mean, you're going to 1151 00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:07.400 have to stack up, and so it's you know, the 1152 00:59:07.400 --> 00:59:09.960 only team that you see you throw a Texas A 1153 00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:12.119 and m up there and they continue to have that 1154 00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:15.079 blue chip piece. You got to also have those guys 1155 00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:18.840 who are super super high rated across all the boards 1156 00:59:18.880 --> 00:59:21.239 and they want to continue to get better day in 1157 00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:23.679 and day out, because it makes it. I mean, it 1158 00:59:23.719 --> 00:59:25.599 makes no difference if you're a five star coming out 1159 00:59:25.599 --> 00:59:28.199 of high school and you the moment you step onto 1160 00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:33.480 a field in college, everybody that gap closed significantly. And 1161 00:59:33.800 --> 00:59:36.599 if you don't continue to work, you know, you get 1162 00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:39.440 the whole adage of the hard work beats talent when 1163 00:59:39.440 --> 00:59:40.559 talent doesn't work hard. 1164 00:59:40.840 --> 00:59:41.760 So you've got to have the. 1165 00:59:41.679 --> 00:59:43.440 Coaching in there, and you've got to have the desire 1166 00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:46.760 from from these blue chippers, because if they're not all 1167 00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:49.440 in and it's all not all one mindset, then you know, 1168 00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:50.840 your rating really doesn't mean anything. 1169 00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:55.280 One band, one sound, Yeah no, that's a no. You're right, 1170 00:59:55.880 --> 00:59:56.760 it means nothing. 1171 01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:09.280 I don't know if if I am out or if 1172 01:00:09.519 --> 01:00:13.159 JA bounced, I still see a recording here, so uh 1173 01:00:13.360 --> 01:00:16.039 drop into the comments. If it's just me here working, 1174 01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:18.559 Uh to forgive me something in the chat. Let me 1175 01:00:18.639 --> 01:00:22.119 know if if that was Jay who disappeared, and it 1176 01:00:22.199 --> 01:00:24.880 is Jay that disappeared. But but yeah, one of the 1177 01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:27.440 big things about you know that it was weird. Hey 1178 01:00:27.599 --> 01:00:29.119 there you go, all right, I was. 1179 01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:32.960 I didn't know it was me some reason. It hit 1180 01:00:33.039 --> 01:00:35.480 me with the hit me with the for some reason, 1181 01:00:35.519 --> 01:00:37.519 it hit me with the do you want to leave? 1182 01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:39.039 I'm like, why would I want to leave? All I'm 1183 01:00:39.039 --> 01:00:40.840 doing is showing off something and then all of a sudden, 1184 01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:43.039 I guess it. I guess it decided what to close itself. 1185 01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:46.920 So that was weird. My bad, y'all. I must have 1186 01:00:46.920 --> 01:00:50.719 clicked the button while I was over here prepping stuff. 1187 01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:52.360 Let me get back to this what I was actually 1188 01:00:52.360 --> 01:00:56.280 talking about. Gotta love tech, right, That's my favorite thing 1189 01:00:56.280 --> 01:00:59.800 about technology is that I always got some weird stuff populating. Anyway, 1190 01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:03.039 back to my whole point on this is a lot 1191 01:01:03.079 --> 01:01:05.079 of these teams. It's funny when you look at it, 1192 01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:09.519 how many teams end up with seventy plus on the 1193 01:01:09.519 --> 01:01:12.840 blue chip ratio piece and it just still doesn't lead 1194 01:01:12.880 --> 01:01:15.519 to a championship. Perfect example. I mean, like, look at Oregon, right, 1195 01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:20.639 Oregon's won. I think they're like consistently always up there, 1196 01:01:21.199 --> 01:01:25.280 especially over the last what ten years? Fifteen years? Right, 1197 01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:27.440 they've been to a national championship. I think they actually 1198 01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:30.000 been to a couple. I know they played Auburn when 1199 01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:31.679 Cam was there. Didn't they play a second one? 1200 01:01:33.440 --> 01:01:37.360 Do they remember the Florida Mariota? Was that the marioda year? 1201 01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:37.639 Did they? 1202 01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:39.760 Yeah? Mariota lost to Florida State too, So I lost 1203 01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:41.719 the Auburn and he lows the Florida State. So they 1204 01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:46.519 actually they they've played Was it Auburn that year? Wasn't 1205 01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:47.280 it Auburn a year? 1206 01:01:48.320 --> 01:01:50.119 Who? Who did? 1207 01:01:51.400 --> 01:01:51.599 Who? 1208 01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:53.440 Did Cardele Jones come in? 1209 01:01:53.639 --> 01:01:57.280 And is the year that Ohio State I'll say won 1210 01:01:57.320 --> 01:01:59.880 that one when when Cardale played. 1211 01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:04.400 Because they lost quarterback right in the last game. Then 1212 01:02:04.440 --> 01:02:06.639 they lost one in the Big Ten Championship or no, 1213 01:02:06.719 --> 01:02:09.519 they lost two right at the end Big Ten Championship. 1214 01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:11.960 I think Cardill Jones came in and went went hard 1215 01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:14.760 as you know what against Wisconsin that was like a 1216 01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:18.719 seventy or something game, and then they came out that 1217 01:02:18.760 --> 01:02:19.199 was Bama. 1218 01:02:19.400 --> 01:02:21.239 I beat Bama, the babat Bama. 1219 01:02:21.280 --> 01:02:26.440 That was a Bama. The Oregon Auburn, they played Auburn, 1220 01:02:26.480 --> 01:02:29.119 They played Auburn and they lost twenty two to nineteen 1221 01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:31.760 to Cam Newton. That was the Cam Newton year. That's 1222 01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:34.280 what that was, BCS. That was the BCS one actually 1223 01:02:35.639 --> 01:02:39.440 when Cam carried that team by himself to win the Natty. 1224 01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:42.039 But yeah, I thought that was it. That that's anyway 1225 01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:45.480 Oregon is consistently on that number. Is my point. That 1226 01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:48.360 you look at that, that that number there, and it's 1227 01:02:48.440 --> 01:02:53.440 like Organ's always up there magically. But they had they 1228 01:02:53.480 --> 01:02:58.280 don't have no titles. They have zero national championships. And 1229 01:02:58.519 --> 01:03:01.280 Florida State beat Auburn in the title game that year, 1230 01:03:03.599 --> 01:03:07.039 and that was the BCS Natty. Could have sworn Oregon 1231 01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:09.400 went another time. I don't know how they did. They 1232 01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:12.639 lost Ohio State, So you're right, yeah, that was one. 1233 01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:15.519 That's what I was crazy about. Remember was it Auburn? Yeah, 1234 01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:18.639 so you're right it was Cardile that Cardile Jones game. 1235 01:03:19.480 --> 01:03:21.760 That was Oregon. So I was all over the place. 1236 01:03:21.800 --> 01:03:24.639 My bad, y'all. They beat Florida State in the first 1237 01:03:24.840 --> 01:03:29.440 round of the CFP. So that's where I completely missed 1238 01:03:29.480 --> 01:03:31.480 what you were saying. That's my bad. 1239 01:03:31.639 --> 01:03:34.599 Yeah, the the I mean, but you look at it, 1240 01:03:35.159 --> 01:03:37.199 I mean, you got to get through your conference first 1241 01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:40.400 and foremost. I mean that's been Texas's issue. Texas out 1242 01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:45.119 recruited Oklahoma, I would say since the Stoops era, since 1243 01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:48.400 two thousand, since we're just going through a time. I mean, 1244 01:03:48.519 --> 01:03:51.880 Texas out recruited Oklahoma. I would say, all but maybe 1245 01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:57.599 one or two years, and they had four conference championships 1246 01:03:57.599 --> 01:04:00.960 to show for it. You know, they couldn't it past Oklahoma. 1247 01:04:01.079 --> 01:04:04.239 And so this is an indicator, this Samet, This isn't 1248 01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:07.199 the gospel, though, This is an indicator that you've got 1249 01:04:07.199 --> 01:04:09.519 to have that, you know, because you can't run it there. 1250 01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:11.639 You know, it's just hard for you to make it 1251 01:04:11.679 --> 01:04:14.880 through a major conference schedule and then now making it 1252 01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:15.880 through the playoffs. 1253 01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:18.039 You're going to try and try to make the playoffs. 1254 01:04:18.119 --> 01:04:21.639 I mean, eventually the talent's going to overwhelm and you 1255 01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:24.320 know it's it's not it's not Hollywood. You're gonna have 1256 01:04:24.360 --> 01:04:25.880 to have some of the dudes in there too. 1257 01:04:27.559 --> 01:04:31.559 No, That's that's true and a very much fair point. 1258 01:04:31.559 --> 01:04:33.000 You gotta have the right players to be able to 1259 01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:37.480 do it. Uh. Now, they did do a blue chip 1260 01:04:37.599 --> 01:04:43.360 ratio that included uh I did put your comment up 1261 01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:45.920 last bricked up was pretty funny. I thought, I was hilarious. 1262 01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:47.239 I had to put it on there, but I did 1263 01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:51.280 look and look at the what's this the transfer one 1264 01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:53.119 because they did it with transfer So that number that 1265 01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:56.000 I showed y'all was only high school recruits had no 1266 01:04:56.280 --> 01:05:00.920 did not include a single transfer. But this is the 1267 01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:04.400 transfer rate and Oklahoma's rated at light number twelve if 1268 01:05:04.400 --> 01:05:09.719 you include transfers fifty six percent, so they're at that 1269 01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:14.400 michigan ish number. They're them in Clemson with Florida right 1270 01:05:14.440 --> 01:05:18.840 there above them because of the number of the transfers 1271 01:05:18.840 --> 01:05:20.679 that they brought in. So I thought that was also 1272 01:05:20.800 --> 01:05:24.119 interesting because you know, when you really look at a 1273 01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:27.440 lot of your transfers are players that were not rated 1274 01:05:27.639 --> 01:05:30.599 very high, but they were really good, and then they 1275 01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:33.840 move up from whatever program they were to you know, 1276 01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:37.280 a more elite programm in comparison, an opportunity to play. 1277 01:05:37.760 --> 01:05:39.840 So I thought that was really interesting too. It was 1278 01:05:42.119 --> 01:05:43.760 I thought that was interesting. But it's a good question 1279 01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:45.800 will they leading in the run game. I do believe 1280 01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:49.800 we will have a heavy, heavy, heavy run game this year, 1281 01:05:50.039 --> 01:05:52.920 especially because Mati is a runner. I mean, he throws 1282 01:05:53.039 --> 01:05:54.360 very well, but he's a runner too. 1283 01:05:55.159 --> 01:05:57.280 Yeah, and you know you're running games going to open 1284 01:05:57.360 --> 01:05:59.719 up a lot with MATERI what did he weigh in 1285 01:05:59.760 --> 01:06:03.519 at twenty was it two twenty one or two twenty five? Like, 1286 01:06:03.800 --> 01:06:07.199 you know, he you know he is You could tell, 1287 01:06:07.280 --> 01:06:08.639 you know, when he was standing up next to a 1288 01:06:08.679 --> 01:06:09.440 couple different guys. 1289 01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:11.000 I mean, the guy is thicker. 1290 01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:12.679 He had to put on a little bit extra muscle 1291 01:06:12.760 --> 01:06:16.159 because you know, I don't think that you can really 1292 01:06:18.039 --> 01:06:20.280 you may be able to stuff the stats, but you know, 1293 01:06:20.360 --> 01:06:22.119 I don't think Materier is gonna be running for like 1294 01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:24.119 a thousand yards or anything like that. Like I think 1295 01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:26.519 that you know, a good spot for him to be 1296 01:06:26.920 --> 01:06:30.119 is around the four hundred yards. You know he's gonna 1297 01:06:30.119 --> 01:06:32.400 want to take it off and that's you know, there's 1298 01:06:32.400 --> 01:06:35.519 there's difference in you know, uh, you know, designed runs 1299 01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:38.360 and just scramble drill to where he's getting out and 1300 01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:39.920 getting getting out there and going. 1301 01:06:40.239 --> 01:06:41.599 But I mean, you got to. 1302 01:06:43.079 --> 01:06:45.679 You got to go back to last year. You know, 1303 01:06:45.719 --> 01:06:47.800 made the comment earlier than the spring. I think the 1304 01:06:47.840 --> 01:06:50.000 offense was having a lot of success, a lot more 1305 01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:53.199 than the defense expected for them to have, right, you know, 1306 01:06:53.280 --> 01:06:56.199 with a with a brand new offensive system, new quarterback 1307 01:06:56.239 --> 01:07:01.119 and everything, and so you know that's uh, there was 1308 01:07:01.159 --> 01:07:05.280 there was success last spring, but it was not a 1309 01:07:05.599 --> 01:07:10.960 situation to where you know, the defense was getting beat. 1310 01:07:11.079 --> 01:07:13.079 I think there were a lot of favorable situations that 1311 01:07:13.119 --> 01:07:16.280 the coaching staff kind of allowed some success to happen. 1312 01:07:16.679 --> 01:07:19.320 And that's a that's a tough place to go. But 1313 01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:21.519 you know, I think that with the running game this year, 1314 01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:24.440 I think that when you have a Jade not Jeometier, 1315 01:07:25.360 --> 01:07:28.079 you have an Xavier Robinson, and then you still have 1316 01:07:28.199 --> 01:07:30.480 Taylor Tatum and you still have Javante Barnes. 1317 01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:31.719 Those are guys who. 1318 01:07:31.639 --> 01:07:33.719 Are you You're going to be able to run and 1319 01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:39.440 you also you get a chance to have uh, you know, 1320 01:07:39.840 --> 01:07:41.679 leads and you're gonna be running a lot more. 1321 01:07:42.639 --> 01:07:44.559 That's what's most important. If you have a lot more leads, 1322 01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:47.840 you'll be able to just eat clock, eat eat clock, 1323 01:07:48.519 --> 01:07:53.480 eat clock, eat eat clock, which is critical.

Iron 1327 01:08:02.079 --> 01:08:05.840 Smith asked a question, Yes, Michigan has done it, but 1328 01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:09.360 what other team did it too? When I look back 1329 01:08:09.360 --> 01:08:11.599 on the blue chit ratio, I don't remember I remember 1330 01:08:11.639 --> 01:08:15.039 seeing anybody that was under seventy percent keeping it a buck. 1331 01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:18.960 Probably the closest one was probably because I think they've 1332 01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:22.479 started really they started this back and when CFP started, 1333 01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:25.880 so you had none of the teams that won the 1334 01:08:26.000 --> 01:08:30.479 Natty since the Copsaboule Playoffs has started has won it 1335 01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:33.319 outside of Michigan with you know, fifty something percent Before that, 1336 01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:35.600 I think that Auburn team with Cam was probably the 1337 01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:42.600 only one, uh because that team had I think one 1338 01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:45.880 offensive lineman that took some snaps in the NFL, but 1339 01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:48.359 they didn't really have anybody go to the pros that 1340 01:08:48.359 --> 01:08:51.520 that offense was literally Cam Newton and the Pips. I 1341 01:08:51.560 --> 01:08:54.479 can't think of. There's like nobody else that I can 1342 01:08:54.520 --> 01:08:58.079 think of there. Michigan is the only one that has 1343 01:08:58.159 --> 01:09:00.880 done it. And again that was because they are a 1344 01:09:01.079 --> 01:09:05.359 overly physical squad. They were a squad that would just 1345 01:09:05.399 --> 01:09:08.000 beat the crap at everybody. 1346 01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:11.680 So I look at her here. I would maybe wonder 1347 01:09:11.800 --> 01:09:16.319 about the first Clemson National championship. Maybe that might have 1348 01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:21.000 been one because at that point they weren't really you know, 1349 01:09:21.159 --> 01:09:24.520 recruiting like crazy at that point, I have to probably 1350 01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:25.119 go back. 1351 01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:26.279 And see what that was. 1352 01:09:26.399 --> 01:09:29.239 What year was that sixteen sixteen? 1353 01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:36.359 Let me lookt the twenty fifteen class. Twenty fifteen Clemson 1354 01:09:36.399 --> 01:09:42.800 class was top nine twenty fourteen Clemson class, and they 1355 01:09:42.800 --> 01:09:47.039 were number nine in the country in fifteen. In fourteen 1356 01:09:47.119 --> 01:09:51.720 they were sixteenth with ten four stars in that class, 1357 01:09:52.119 --> 01:09:54.239 and then we'll go to thirteen. So we'll do the 1358 01:09:54.279 --> 01:09:59.800 first three classes just to be fair. Here they were 1359 01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:01.640 fifteenth with ten more. 1360 01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:05.920 So that's still pretty good. I mean, that's still pretty good. 1361 01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:09.159 It's still pretty high, right, it's still pretty darn high. 1362 01:10:09.199 --> 01:10:11.199 But Michigan was up there as well, but they didn't 1363 01:10:11.239 --> 01:10:12.680 They had a lot of they had a lot of 1364 01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:15.760 three stars on their rosters. Clemson was twenty when you 1365 01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:21.920 go back to twenty twelve, twenty ten four ten three stars. 1366 01:10:22.640 --> 01:10:29.600 So yeah, that's a good question. They may have been one. 1367 01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:32.359 Maybe they may have. 1368 01:10:32.800 --> 01:10:34.399 I have to go back and count and look through 1369 01:10:34.399 --> 01:10:38.920 the entire roster and see. But sixteen was a big 1370 01:10:38.960 --> 01:10:43.520 class for them. One five, eleven, four stars, eight three stars, 1371 01:10:43.560 --> 01:10:47.279 and that team was really good. 1372 01:10:48.560 --> 01:10:51.680 I see the TVO year of Florida. I mean, back then, 1373 01:10:51.800 --> 01:10:55.560 Florida was absolutely dealing. So I would say that that 1374 01:10:55.680 --> 01:10:58.640 was probably a really good because I remember that national championship. 1375 01:10:58.680 --> 01:11:02.680 I mean there were I know that OU alone had 1376 01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:07.000 what was it for first rounders that year? Tebow went 1377 01:11:07.039 --> 01:11:11.880 at the end to the Broncos. Still, I still remember 1378 01:11:11.880 --> 01:11:14.760 where I was. I was sitting next to al ashback 1379 01:11:15.199 --> 01:11:18.880 when that when that happened at the bar in Norman, 1380 01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:22.840 and I just remember being pissed. But yeah, I would, 1381 01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:25.079 I would probably. Man, just looking through here, I just 1382 01:11:25.119 --> 01:11:27.439 don't see because you got a lot of Alabama's, Florida, 1383 01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:31.119 LSU Florida, you know, Southern Cali. You get back into 1384 01:11:31.119 --> 01:11:34.680 the two thousands, and I mean, yeah, ever single one 1385 01:11:34.720 --> 01:11:37.119 of those teams were good and they're right and we're 1386 01:11:37.159 --> 01:11:37.920 good for a while. 1387 01:11:39.640 --> 01:11:40.880 I don't know if they would. I don't know if 1388 01:11:40.880 --> 01:11:42.439 there is another team in there that did it. 1389 01:11:42.920 --> 01:11:46.680 Nope. So Jonathan, Yes, TCU made it to the title game. 1390 01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:48.960 I think there were four teams that were outside of 1391 01:11:48.960 --> 01:11:52.159 the top eighteen in blue chip ratio that has made it. 1392 01:11:52.279 --> 01:11:55.199 All four of them are zero to four in winning 1393 01:11:55.520 --> 01:11:59.159 making it. Yeah, winning it not so much. The only 1394 01:11:59.199 --> 01:12:01.279 one that's won it it's been outside of the seventies 1395 01:12:01.479 --> 01:12:05.359 was Michigan that I've calculated. Uh, this Clemson team was 1396 01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:08.119 they I think they were pretty stacked actually with Watson 1397 01:12:09.039 --> 01:12:11.199 and then Trevor Lawrence the number one player the next year, 1398 01:12:11.920 --> 01:12:14.520 uh so went they went to the title game back 1399 01:12:14.560 --> 01:12:18.800 to back years with Watson at quarterback, and then Kelly 1400 01:12:18.800 --> 01:12:22.720 Bryant year was not you know, the best, and then 1401 01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:24.920 Trevor Lawrence walks in there and they go undefeated as 1402 01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:25.680 a true freshman. 1403 01:12:27.960 --> 01:12:30.119 And I think that Trevor Lawrence is still looking for 1404 01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:31.479 that magic from that year. 1405 01:12:32.319 --> 01:12:36.199 I mean shooting and he's in Jacksonville. There's nothing you 1406 01:12:36.239 --> 01:12:41.800 can do about. Oh, he's definitely A. He's definitely a 1407 01:12:44.760 --> 01:12:47.960 you definitely, he definitely uh is A is a product 1408 01:12:47.960 --> 01:12:50.039 of his environment. And I love the A lot of 1409 01:12:50.039 --> 01:12:52.600 people point out the Materia playing out West. I mean, 1410 01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:55.119 as as pointed out, Jackson Dark was playing out there 1411 01:12:55.119 --> 01:12:58.199 in the pack. Matier played in the pack when they 1412 01:12:58.279 --> 01:12:59.800 had all their teams and then when they didn't have 1413 01:12:59.840 --> 01:13:02.520 their teams too. He had some snaps behind cam Ward 1414 01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:06.079 a few times. Yeah. So yeah, it's you know, we'll 1415 01:13:06.079 --> 01:13:08.159 see what Materier decides to turn into. He has the 1416 01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:10.520 opportunity to prove and shut a lot of people up, 1417 01:13:12.079 --> 01:13:14.439 and I hope he does. We know he's working. That's 1418 01:13:14.439 --> 01:13:16.279 the only thing I know I'm concerned about is that 1419 01:13:16.399 --> 01:13:17.479 we know that he is. 1420 01:13:19.520 --> 01:13:22.119 Working and the team. 1421 01:13:22.239 --> 01:13:24.279 And here's the thing is the team believes in him, 1422 01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:26.840 and not just not just the offensive side of the ball, 1423 01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:29.960 not just the coaches. I mean you can tell the difference. 1424 01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:33.760 They talk about it differently, so that you know, if 1425 01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:36.319 anybody is wondering if John Matier is going to come 1426 01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:39.840 in here and be similar to what we had last year, 1427 01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:43.319 I mean, that's just that's nonsense. Now if you say 1428 01:13:43.359 --> 01:13:46.359 I'm you know, I'm a waiting see mode. You don't 1429 01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:49.920 have to have Jo Matier be a Heisman winning quarterback 1430 01:13:49.960 --> 01:13:54.760 this year. You just don't you need him to make decisions. 1431 01:13:54.880 --> 01:13:57.159 How many games did we you know, you look back 1432 01:13:57.199 --> 01:13:59.840 at the Tennessee game last year, you know, are we 1433 01:13:59.880 --> 01:14:02.319 in that game at the end if it's not for 1434 01:14:02.399 --> 01:14:05.479 handing the ball back over play after play? You know, 1435 01:14:05.680 --> 01:14:08.079 defense does a good job. And so it kind of 1436 01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:10.199 leads to the question of I don't know if you 1437 01:14:10.239 --> 01:14:13.720 saw it, Jay, somebody said, do we think the defense 1438 01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:14.159 will be. 1439 01:14:16.399 --> 01:14:19.000 Be better or as good as it was last year? 1440 01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:28.279 Hmm. Yeah. We've talked about this defense should be better, 1441 01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:40.479 better in in overall numbers, mainly because the offense is 1442 01:14:40.520 --> 01:14:41.520 gonna allow for them to do that. 1443 01:14:44.279 --> 01:14:46.279 I can, I mean, I can kind of go both 1444 01:14:46.319 --> 01:14:50.640 ways on this one. I think that And I was 1445 01:14:50.680 --> 01:14:55.239 sharing this with with somebody the other day. Things I 1446 01:14:55.279 --> 01:14:58.600 want to see is the edge rush. The edge rush 1447 01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:01.560 has been something that from both sides to the field. 1448 01:15:02.079 --> 01:15:04.479 You know, have we had a you know, when's the 1449 01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:07.920 last time we had really good, you know, edge rushers 1450 01:15:07.920 --> 01:15:11.920 on both sides. You know, you go back quite a ways, 1451 01:15:12.119 --> 01:15:14.079 you know, to where your defensive ends were guys that 1452 01:15:14.119 --> 01:15:16.279 were just you know, just bawling out. Because I think 1453 01:15:16.319 --> 01:15:17.920 that up the middle, you're going to be better than 1454 01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:21.119 you were last year. I think David Stone is going 1455 01:15:21.159 --> 01:15:23.439 to be better than what we were able to throw 1456 01:15:23.439 --> 01:15:25.960 out there. With some of the losses the past couple 1457 01:15:25.960 --> 01:15:28.560 of years. You still have Don Williams, you still have 1458 01:15:28.640 --> 01:15:32.159 Jaden Jackson, you still have g Baby. Those guys are 1459 01:15:32.199 --> 01:15:35.279 going to continue to do what they do. If you 1460 01:15:35.399 --> 01:15:38.319 can pair our Mason with a Marvin Jones Junior, a 1461 01:15:38.439 --> 01:15:42.560 Danny Akoye, Taylor Wine, guys like that, it is going 1462 01:15:42.600 --> 01:15:46.359 to it is going to be good. The things that 1463 01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:50.479 I think that separate us from a top five capable 1464 01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:53.760 defense is what does our zone coverage look like? 1465 01:15:55.079 --> 01:15:56.640 What does our edge rushers look like? 1466 01:15:58.479 --> 01:16:02.000 And then the healthy defensive backs, because if you get 1467 01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:04.600 a healthy Gentry for ten games. 1468 01:16:08.880 --> 01:16:12.920 Gentry healthy and and as we're hearing he's under he is, 1469 01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:17.800 a healthy Gentry is going to be a nasty Gentry, 1470 01:16:18.760 --> 01:16:19.560 period very much. 1471 01:16:19.920 --> 01:16:22.520 This is his livelihood on the line right now, so 1472 01:16:22.680 --> 01:16:27.399 he is going to do everything. And Gentry's injury last 1473 01:16:27.439 --> 01:16:29.720 year was basically. 1474 01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:32.640 They they fixed. 1475 01:16:32.399 --> 01:16:35.439 The wrong thing going into the year last year, and 1476 01:16:35.479 --> 01:16:36.479 now they got it fixed. 1477 01:16:37.720 --> 01:16:40.600 So he he's tired of the talk. He said it. 1478 01:16:40.840 --> 01:16:42.520 You know, he's tired of hearing it from inside the 1479 01:16:42.520 --> 01:16:46.640 ever Center. He's tired of hearing it from everywhere. And 1480 01:16:46.720 --> 01:16:49.359 he knows that this is his this is his final year. 1481 01:16:50.359 --> 01:16:53.560 But Jay, I think that with the offense, if you 1482 01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:58.279 can do a great complimentary football, you know, your defense 1483 01:16:59.520 --> 01:17:02.039 coming in and after a quick strike touchdown is a 1484 01:17:02.079 --> 01:17:04.239 little bit more pumped up than after a three and out. 1485 01:17:05.119 --> 01:17:08.800 And if you compare, you compare, you know, a good 1486 01:17:08.840 --> 01:17:12.760 pass rush, you can mix in the zone coverage and 1487 01:17:12.960 --> 01:17:15.960 you can you know have a healthy gentry in eli. 1488 01:17:16.079 --> 01:17:18.680 I mean, this is it's a top five defense. I 1489 01:17:18.680 --> 01:17:20.960 have zero doubt in my mind that this is that's 1490 01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:21.760 what can happen. 1491 01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:25.199 What I love is that this is really showing you 1492 01:17:25.279 --> 01:17:28.520 a continuation of what BV has done just as a 1493 01:17:28.560 --> 01:17:31.239 coach and his defensive coordinator in his career. Like when 1494 01:17:31.279 --> 01:17:34.920 you go look at the numbers, every year his defenses 1495 01:17:34.960 --> 01:17:36.920 get better and better, and lemon, thank you for pointing 1496 01:17:36.960 --> 01:17:39.119 this out. The real question is who's the leader with 1497 01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:40.640 the loss of stuts, Who's going to be the dude 1498 01:17:40.680 --> 01:17:42.840 that steps up? And I'm gonna be honest, man, it 1499 01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:48.640 feels like it's probably Kip for the linebacker room with 1500 01:17:48.720 --> 01:17:51.520 a lot of Kobe McKenzie barking orders, because he barked 1501 01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:53.960 orders this past season. You know, I've mentioned that before. 1502 01:17:54.039 --> 01:17:55.520 That's the one thing that impressed me to most about 1503 01:17:55.560 --> 01:17:58.039 him and got me excited is that he was barking 1504 01:17:58.159 --> 01:18:03.199 orders the entire time. But then you go, besides that 1505 01:18:03.399 --> 01:18:07.079 secondary wise, nobilly, but you got Robert Spears Jennings and 1506 01:18:07.119 --> 01:18:09.039 Peyton Bowen. I think Robert Spears Jings is your de 1507 01:18:09.119 --> 01:18:11.720 facto leader there. He's the one who's going to bark 1508 01:18:11.760 --> 01:18:14.319 all the orders out at everybody and say, hey, get 1509 01:18:14.359 --> 01:18:19.279 your ish together and call everything out, which is to me, 1510 01:18:19.479 --> 01:18:24.520 what Yeah, that's the thing that gets me going. 1511 01:18:25.680 --> 01:18:27.039 And you know Barbara Jones Jr. 1512 01:18:27.560 --> 01:18:30.439 Is I mean, that's that's he's one of the oldest 1513 01:18:30.479 --> 01:18:32.199 dudes on the team. I mean, this is a guy 1514 01:18:32.239 --> 01:18:35.600 who was a five star, you know, was almost in 1515 01:18:35.600 --> 01:18:40.720 Oklahoma commit before Lincoln bailed that guy. He knows what 1516 01:18:40.800 --> 01:18:43.600 he's playing for too, and he knows that his draft 1517 01:18:43.600 --> 01:18:46.479 stock will continue to soar if this defense. 1518 01:18:46.159 --> 01:18:47.079 Plays really, really well. 1519 01:18:47.119 --> 01:18:51.199 So you've got our Mason MJJ, he got the two linebackers. 1520 01:18:52.840 --> 01:18:55.520 I bet you this Gentry is more of a show me. 1521 01:18:55.600 --> 01:18:57.159 He's going to get out there, but he gets a 1522 01:18:57.159 --> 01:18:58.880 game or two under his belt, and he's going to 1523 01:18:58.920 --> 01:19:00.000 be one of the vocal leaders too. 1524 01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:06.159 Yep, gentry should be. Gentry should be. But you've got 1525 01:19:06.159 --> 01:19:16.760 a lot of You've got a lot of You've got 1526 01:19:16.880 --> 01:19:18.640 you've got a lot of options when it comes to 1527 01:19:18.640 --> 01:19:20.479 those that want to be vocal. But they've already all 1528 01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:23.039 said that communication is critical for them. So our Mason 1529 01:19:23.079 --> 01:19:27.239 Thomas said it. You had Robert Spiers Jenning say it, right, 1530 01:19:27.479 --> 01:19:30.000 So we know the linebacker room is going to be 1531 01:19:30.039 --> 01:19:32.319 very vocal because that's the most important room in a 1532 01:19:32.319 --> 01:19:34.880 Brent Ventible's defense is how the linebackers play. And I 1533 01:19:34.880 --> 01:19:37.760 think that's what's gonna be interesting in having three linebacker coaches, 1534 01:19:37.800 --> 01:19:40.439 which I'm so glad that BV did that. He talked 1535 01:19:40.439 --> 01:19:48.399 about having new coaches at slipping huge to have three, 1536 01:19:48.680 --> 01:19:53.600 not one, but three linebacker coaches this season, Cooper, that's 1537 01:19:53.640 --> 01:19:55.640 gonna be probably your game change is difference. So so 1538 01:19:55.680 --> 01:19:57.800 I'm looking at this. I pulled up the numbers on it. 1539 01:19:57.840 --> 01:20:02.119 So when BV got to Clemson left Oklahoma, we had 1540 01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:06.800 an SP plus defense and defense efficiency of four ten, 1541 01:20:07.239 --> 01:20:12.399 defect was at six, discrs was at four. He goes 1542 01:20:12.439 --> 01:20:15.359 to Clinton in twenty twelve, their defense is fifty fourth ranked, 1543 01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:18.479 inefficiency fifty fourth to forty fourth, and NSP plus defense 1544 01:20:18.600 --> 01:20:23.039 fifty eighth, average of about fifty season two moves up 1545 01:20:23.079 --> 01:20:28.039 to nine twenty eighth range or whatnot. Third year they 1546 01:20:28.039 --> 01:20:33.039 were the number one defense in the country inefficiency. The 1547 01:20:33.159 --> 01:20:38.560 year after that, in fifteen, they were number two twenty 1548 01:20:38.640 --> 01:20:40.960 one FP plus, but they were number two in efficiency, 1549 01:20:41.600 --> 01:20:44.680 which for this team. Now we passed the third year, 1550 01:20:44.760 --> 01:20:48.239 the defense was ranked in the top fifteen inefficiency overall ten. 1551 01:20:48.319 --> 01:20:51.000 I think the number ten at ESPN's efficiency, fifteenth in 1552 01:20:51.039 --> 01:20:54.319 around the sp plus and a lot of the other metrics. 1553 01:20:55.000 --> 01:20:58.520 I think d score had them at ten. But you 1554 01:20:58.600 --> 01:21:01.119 had no offense. So of course defense is doing all 1555 01:21:01.119 --> 01:21:04.640 the work. Year after he goes to number two and 1556 01:21:04.680 --> 01:21:07.239 it's consistent, and that's when they had a quarterback replacement. 1557 01:21:07.359 --> 01:21:10.920 That's when you did had Kelly going out there. Actually 1558 01:21:10.960 --> 01:21:13.800 you get Deshaun Watson's first year going. Then the next 1559 01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:17.880 year Watson gets going, and it's just maintaining defense. Defense, defense, 1560 01:21:18.920 --> 01:21:21.279 that's where we're going. We should be able to have 1561 01:21:21.359 --> 01:21:24.600 a top five defense at the end of the season. 1562 01:21:24.680 --> 01:21:28.279 It's no excuse we won't. We're only playing two turning quarterbacks. 1563 01:21:30.600 --> 01:21:33.800 Next year, next season in twenty six, it's gonna be 1564 01:21:33.800 --> 01:21:35.600 different because you're gonna have a lot of people come back. 1565 01:21:36.439 --> 01:21:40.880 But yeah, this year, yeah, it should be much better 1566 01:21:40.880 --> 01:21:44.600 than that. Capacity should be should be potentially that. So 1567 01:21:47.159 --> 01:21:50.520 I'm here for it. Man. The blue shit ratio says 1568 01:21:50.560 --> 01:21:53.039 we have a chance, So I say we have a chance. 1569 01:21:55.439 --> 01:21:58.079 Yeah, And you know there's questions about the safety is 1570 01:21:58.119 --> 01:21:59.439 going in there, I don't know this is the last 1571 01:21:59.439 --> 01:22:01.640 thing before we h letter back you back to their lives. 1572 01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:06.039 But I'll tell you one thing is you're you're already 1573 01:22:06.079 --> 01:22:10.800 starting to see the safety room with I mean, I 1574 01:22:10.840 --> 01:22:13.600 think that Robert spe Jennings is only the defact He's 1575 01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:15.600 the only de facto starter at this point in the 1576 01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:18.600 safety room. I think that there will be a lot 1577 01:22:18.600 --> 01:22:23.960 of guys that play between Hardy and Powers and Peyton Bowen. 1578 01:22:24.640 --> 01:22:27.359 But you know, Peyton Bowen has I mean, he's got 1579 01:22:27.399 --> 01:22:30.680 a ton to prove this year because he has had 1580 01:22:30.800 --> 01:22:34.000 you know, the Nixon bruises here and there, He's had 1581 01:22:34.039 --> 01:22:37.720 a lot of you know, it's safe to say that 1582 01:22:37.920 --> 01:22:39.920 we've all expected a lot more out of Peyton Bowen 1583 01:22:39.920 --> 01:22:42.840 than we've seen at this point. And because a lot 1584 01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:45.920 of the same, a lot of the the oh wows 1585 01:22:46.039 --> 01:22:48.800 have been in spring training and fall camps and stuff 1586 01:22:48.840 --> 01:22:52.520 like that. So you know, he's, uh, he is getting 1587 01:22:53.039 --> 01:22:56.960 He's getting pushed right now, bye by both Hardy and Powers. 1588 01:22:57.039 --> 01:23:00.960 Powers is playing a lot. Powers is proving himself to 1589 01:23:00.960 --> 01:23:04.159 be a person that they're going to make it hard 1590 01:23:04.199 --> 01:23:05.399 to keep him off the field. 1591 01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:06.079 Uh. 1592 01:23:06.199 --> 01:23:10.640 Boganowski is still Boganowski can he can he put the 1593 01:23:10.479 --> 01:23:14.319 the brains behind uh, you know, the athletic ability and 1594 01:23:14.399 --> 01:23:16.319 get out there and do that. It's going to be 1595 01:23:16.520 --> 01:23:20.039 a lot of fun watching that safety room because you 1596 01:23:20.079 --> 01:23:22.880 know that's where Bv's wanted it is. You've got different 1597 01:23:23.279 --> 01:23:27.199 different guys with you know, different peak skill sets. You know, 1598 01:23:27.279 --> 01:23:31.119 you look at you know, the cheetah position between Oma Sego, 1599 01:23:31.319 --> 01:23:36.199 you get uh guys like you know, uh I just 1600 01:23:36.239 --> 01:23:39.880 said powers and then you have Kendall Dolby, who you 1601 01:23:39.920 --> 01:23:42.800 know just was one of the uh just was the 1602 01:23:42.800 --> 01:23:45.960 most uh you know, uh I guess team coveted defenders 1603 01:23:45.960 --> 01:23:48.000 two years ago and we saw what he was before 1604 01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:49.640 he went down versus Tennessee last year. 1605 01:23:49.920 --> 01:23:50.279 Exact. 1606 01:23:50.399 --> 01:23:52.760 This team's finally got to a spot to where you've 1607 01:23:52.760 --> 01:23:55.399 got so many different guys that you know, when you 1608 01:23:55.520 --> 01:23:59.560 rotate healthy, fresh bodies out there, you don't miss a 1609 01:23:59.560 --> 01:24:03.760 beat and there's going to be a lot of creativity happening, 1610 01:24:04.359 --> 01:24:07.399 and not only on the defense, but you know that 1611 01:24:07.880 --> 01:24:11.800 circling back. Jay Jeometiers said that they put a bunch 1612 01:24:11.840 --> 01:24:14.439 of new offense in that they didn't expect to put 1613 01:24:14.439 --> 01:24:18.000 in the playbook also, so we went from dumbing down 1614 01:24:18.039 --> 01:24:21.199 in offense for the Pups to get through last year 1615 01:24:21.680 --> 01:24:24.680 to installing more and more offense earlier than they expected 1616 01:24:24.720 --> 01:24:26.399 to at this point in the off season. 1617 01:24:27.319 --> 01:24:30.479 Yep, Mar's good question. Here is a transfer portal closed 1618 01:24:30.520 --> 01:24:34.720 to next year, so it's a little weird. Let me explain. 1619 01:24:36.159 --> 01:24:43.760 So the general transfer portal, yes, is closed until next season, 1620 01:24:43.960 --> 01:24:50.319 the general one. But and I'm saying this, but specifically 1621 01:24:53.239 --> 01:25:00.079 the when the settlement went down July first, in every 1622 01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:04.680 thing was signed mid July, there was a I think 1623 01:25:04.720 --> 01:25:15.039 it was a thirty day window. Let me see, let 1624 01:25:15.079 --> 01:25:16.760 me look real quick. I want to make sure I'm. 1625 01:25:16.720 --> 01:25:21.520 Right, because you always have the situation where if a 1626 01:25:21.600 --> 01:25:27.319 coach bails, then you got where they get fired. 1627 01:25:27.680 --> 01:25:31.239 Yeah. So yeah, I was right. So there is. So 1628 01:25:31.279 --> 01:25:35.960 there's a designated UH student athlete rule that comes from 1629 01:25:36.039 --> 01:25:39.319 the settlement that went an affect July seventh, and it 1630 01:25:39.359 --> 01:25:43.079 closed August. Closes August fifth, so that window is open 1631 01:25:43.159 --> 01:25:47.000 right now. What that window was created for was for 1632 01:25:47.079 --> 01:25:53.680 those situations where teams were cutting players because they had 1633 01:25:53.680 --> 01:25:58.000 to get underneath that one oh five number before July first. 1634 01:25:59.199 --> 01:26:02.960 But those key are considered grandfathered in because the judge 1635 01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:06.880 said the students did not deserve to lose their spots 1636 01:26:07.039 --> 01:26:10.359 just because of the settlement there they used. This should 1637 01:26:10.399 --> 01:26:13.800 be phased out instead of an instant cutoff, so any 1638 01:26:13.840 --> 01:26:18.800 of those kids that want to return can And so 1639 01:26:19.000 --> 01:26:21.720 there's a one time transfer window that opened July seven 1640 01:26:21.760 --> 01:26:23.399 through opportite. If that's why you're starting to see some 1641 01:26:23.479 --> 01:26:25.720 kids enter the portal. If the kid is marked as 1642 01:26:25.720 --> 01:26:28.520 a designated student, the team has that mark them as that, 1643 01:26:29.119 --> 01:26:30.680 then they can go ahead and get back in the 1644 01:26:30.680 --> 01:26:34.319 portal and go somewhere else. For example, we had some 1645 01:26:34.359 --> 01:26:37.760 players that entered the portal, but they came back. We 1646 01:26:37.840 --> 01:26:43.399 actually have some kids come back over the last weeks. 1647 01:26:43.239 --> 01:26:45.960 Last week or so, when we looked at the roster, 1648 01:26:46.079 --> 01:26:49.680 me and Coop went through it. You got some like 1649 01:26:49.720 --> 01:26:53.600 some guys in the secondary like Jocelyn Malaska, the big 1650 01:26:53.960 --> 01:26:57.159 corner that came here from Utah. He's back on the 1651 01:26:57.199 --> 01:27:01.640 most recent roster, so he did not leave. Let me 1652 01:27:01.680 --> 01:27:05.079 go see when I looked at this portal stuff, let 1653 01:27:05.119 --> 01:27:07.239 me see who else entered the portal. I'm still I'm 1654 01:27:07.239 --> 01:27:10.760 actually surprised that Gabees, Gabe Salchuck is still here. Not 1655 01:27:10.840 --> 01:27:13.840 gonna lie, did not I kind of expected did not 1656 01:27:13.920 --> 01:27:17.079 expect him to be sticking around. But you know, Gavin 1657 01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:18.439 goes to Florida State, he sticks around. 1658 01:27:18.479 --> 01:27:21.800 Which is it Donald? Was he another one that was? 1659 01:27:22.640 --> 01:27:24.680 I think? So, I don't know if he came back. 1660 01:27:24.720 --> 01:27:28.600 I did not see him on Uh uh, I didn't 1661 01:27:28.600 --> 01:27:30.239 see him on the roster. But let me go look 1662 01:27:30.279 --> 01:27:32.880 real quick. I will pull that up right now because 1663 01:27:32.880 --> 01:27:36.840 I'm actually curious if he is there. But you did 1664 01:27:36.880 --> 01:27:38.960 have some kids that showed up, so it was weird. 1665 01:27:39.680 --> 01:27:42.000 It's like I said, it's been weird looking at it 1666 01:27:42.039 --> 01:27:47.720 that way. But yeah, you got a lot of players 1667 01:27:47.720 --> 01:27:49.119 that came I looked on and I was like, wait, 1668 01:27:49.159 --> 01:27:51.560 why is he still on the rock? Eh? It was 1669 01:27:51.600 --> 01:27:54.640 the designated deal so uh yeah, im Alaska's back. Read 1670 01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:58.760 du Quasi the dB that was here from Carl Albert. 1671 01:27:59.079 --> 01:28:02.199 He played quarterback at Carlid before you hurt. He's back 1672 01:28:02.239 --> 01:28:04.520 on the roster. It was very interesting to see a 1673 01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:06.399 lot of these players that actually made a return. 1674 01:28:06.479 --> 01:28:11.439 So yeah, nothing, I would say, you know, bless all 1675 01:28:11.479 --> 01:28:13.760 of them for being here. And but uh, you know, 1676 01:28:13.800 --> 01:28:16.319 I don't think that we're gonna see any any names 1677 01:28:16.439 --> 01:28:19.079 that names of note to be heading out or heading back. 1678 01:28:19.119 --> 01:28:19.600 In at this. 1679 01:28:19.600 --> 01:28:22.640 Point, it is, uh, you know we can we can 1680 01:28:22.680 --> 01:28:24.199 put that one to bed for right now. 1681 01:28:25.119 --> 01:28:27.680 Yeah, that's really it. But you also got your freshmans 1682 01:28:27.720 --> 01:28:34.760 that have pulled up. You've got CJ. Nixon as well 1683 01:28:34.880 --> 01:28:36.800 as Marcus James on the defensive side of the ball. 1684 01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:38.439 So you're getting a little bit deeper on that one. 1685 01:28:38.479 --> 01:28:43.319 So all right, Uh, no more questions. We're gonna be out. 1686 01:28:43.359 --> 01:28:44.840 We're gonna go to wrap this bad boy up. Put 1687 01:28:44.840 --> 01:28:46.880 the bone, get up out of this place. Thank y'all. 1688 01:28:47.039 --> 01:28:49.920 As usual, pulling up it they like button.
