60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,159
catching up with Raider de Mooney b what you safety?

61
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,759
Speaker 4: All right here with BYU Safety Raider de Mooney Raider

62
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000
just uh, let's go back to the pop Tarks ball

63
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,280
that moment. Everything, twelfth one of the season, just everything

64
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,560
leading up. How did that feel to end the season

65
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:29,879
on the victor. I know, you guys left out of

66
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:31,520
college football playoffs, not the way you guys wanted to

67
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:32,080
end the season.

68
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: It felt good, obviously, you know, knowing that we were

69
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,159
so close to making the playoffs again second year in

70
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:39,319
a row. It was a good feeling to go over

71
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,680
there and get the win and kind of make a

72
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:42,879
statement for the next years to come, you know.

73
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 6: And so it was good.

74
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:47,479
Speaker 5: But ultimately, our goals are higher and the standard is

75
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,280
higher for ourselves and our team, and we want to

76
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,680
be in that playoff next year, and so I think

77
00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:54,240
it it was a good feeling and it was joyful,

78
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,000
but at the same time, it was motivating for us

79
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:58,599
to continue to strive to make that playoff.

80
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,599
Speaker 4: Talk us through the Papingka Center. Obviously, at J Hill

81
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,039
the switch happened. What's Kelly papinkas standard been.

82
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 5: Like, Oh yeah, it's been great. I mean, I think

83
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:08,840
the standard the standard is the same. You know, we

84
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,680
want to win football games and we want to do

85
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:15,120
it within the culture of BUYU and Coach Pop has

86
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:18,040
came in and and helped us, helped us to understand

87
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:20,120
the importance of the culture here at b YU, and

88
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,160
you know, it's always good to have familiarity. Coach Pop

89
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:24,800
is such a great coach for us, and we've been

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,000
with him, or at least I've been with him throughout

91
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,800
my whole college career, and so just it's been awesome

92
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,639
to learn from Coach Pop, but then also learn from

93
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:32,480
other coaches as well.

94
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: Take us through that from your experience obviously, J Hill,

95
00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:38,160
you know, leaves Kelly gets promoted, Trey Alexander was like

96
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:40,079
calling people. Kelly said he was on the phone with people.

97
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:40,839
What was that like for you?

98
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,959
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, same same.

99
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: I wanted to make sure that, you know, we had

100
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,160
the boys that we needed here and that was going

101
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:48,759
to be to to retain the team that we had

102
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,800
from the year before, and so, you know, going into

103
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,560
my senior year, that was super important for me personally

104
00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:54,279
to make sure we have.

105
00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:55,199
Speaker 6: Those guys come back.

106
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:58,759
Speaker 5: And I feel like, you know, Coach Pop being being

107
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,839
announced as our DC.

108
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,319
Speaker 6: Play a huge role in that you don't knowing you

109
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,399
have someone coming in.

110
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:04,399
Speaker 5: Or not coming in that's already been here and who

111
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:06,319
loves b YU and and wants to win, and so

112
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,720
that that was really good for us. And yeah, that

113
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,240
was that was our goal. We wanted to retain the team,

114
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,240
and I think we did a pretty good.

115
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 4: Job at that. Definitely don't get a lot of guys back.

116
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:16,439
What is it like having you know, not just a

117
00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:18,959
bunch of you know, veteran guys back, but you know,

118
00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:21,079
the newer incoming guys as well in the defense?

119
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you look at the talent that came

120
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,439
in as well. There's there's a lot of good up

121
00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:28,279
and coming talent that's going to be making a lot

122
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,959
of plays for b YU here. And so I think,

123
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:31,920
you know, as a leader now and as a as

124
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,519
an older guys a vet on the team, it's it's

125
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:35,480
our responsibility to lead them and guide them and kind

126
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,720
of show them the way that we do things here

127
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:39,879
at b YU. And it's been great to see them

128
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:42,600
to go out and make plays even their such young careers.

129
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: So, yeah, what's that leadership role been like for you?

130
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,879
Just mentioned as that, you know, the veteran, the senior

131
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,279
guy in the room. Are you much of a vocal

132
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,439
guy personally?

133
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:51,399
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, I'm not that much of a vocal guy,

134
00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:52,800
and I feel like I've made it a little bit

135
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,839
of a goal this offseason to be more vocal. But yeah,

136
00:05:56,879 --> 00:05:58,759
I mean I've been been really trying to be more

137
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,399
vocal with my teammates, obviously, trying to lead by example.

138
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:05,639
And so I feel like the guys are the guys

139
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:07,120
are good, and there's gonna be a lot of good

140
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,399
plays and up and coming players that do well here.

141
00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 4: He said, a lot of a young talent. Who's someone

142
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,600
you'd like to highlight? Uh, newcomer whether it be transo

143
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,240
or freshman that's made impact already.

144
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:20,879
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, man, Obviously like me being a safety, you

145
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,000
have Kenny Pula come in.

146
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 6: He's been making a lot.

147
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 5: Of plays and he he's gonna be really good, and

148
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,800
so excited for him. And then also a Scofushi has

149
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,319
been looking really good and so he's just getting off

150
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:32,879
an injury. But there's there's a lot of up and

151
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,360
coming talent that I think is gonna be really good

152
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:34,920
for this team.

153
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 4: What does it say about your safety room? You have

154
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,000
a guy like Tommy Prass that plays safety and coaches like, hey,

155
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,600
we need Jet Nickel and then goes and locks it

156
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:42,399
down at that position.

157
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,439
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean he's so versatile as a player.

158
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 5: You know, you can put him in the post, you

159
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,000
can put him in the box, you can put him

160
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,879
to guard slots, and so having that versatility in our

161
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,680
room is awesome and it helps us to be able

162
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,639
to disguise more with three safeties on the field. So

163
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,720
we have a we have a package with with the

164
00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:01,480
three safeties, and I think it's it's gonna be good

165
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,879
having guys like that who are versatile.

166
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 6: Not only Tommy, but there's there's a lot of guys

167
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,839
in that room that can play any of those positions,

168
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:07,560
and so it's been great.

169
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,639
Speaker 4: What has it been like to learn from Tomorrow Warren

170
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:10,399
new Safety's coach.

171
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's it's good.

172
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 5: Coach Coach Demo works super hard and you know he

173
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,360
wants us to learn, you know, the defense as well

174
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:21,399
as him, and so it's been awesome to learn under

175
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:23,600
coach Demo. You know, obviously I've been under coach Hill

176
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,639
the past, my whole college career, and so seeing different perspectives,

177
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,720
different different ways of people see the game.

178
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:31,759
Speaker 6: It's been good and I think it helps me to

179
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:33,480
learn more as well.

180
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: What is it like having Kate you know, cal Trance

181
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:38,040
or Kulav joined the program too?

182
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean obviously when you get a guy

183
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,279
like that to come in to b YU, obviously we

184
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,279
have to replace Jack coming in, I mean Jack leaving,

185
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:47,360
and so having k come in and fill that role,

186
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:48,800
I think it's gonna be really good.

187
00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 6: You know, he's a proven player, he's a veteran, he's

188
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,639
played a lot of football and he's he's done really well.

189
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,519
Speaker 5: And so having that leadership, having that type of caliber

190
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,519
of a player to come here to b YU, it's

191
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,759
always for us and we're excited to play with him.

192
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:03,519
Speaker 4: Let's highlight you a little bit more. We talked to

193
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,399
Kelly Popinga on our radio show and Kalani mentioned it

194
00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:08,879
to your guy that's been standing out in the workouts

195
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:10,680
and making place. How spring ball been for you thus

196
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,399
far through two weeks.

197
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 6: It's been good.

198
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,959
Speaker 5: I think really just just focusing on there's little tweaks

199
00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:17,120
that we've we've done, but it's basically the same defense

200
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:17,879
that we've been running.

201
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:20,079
Speaker 6: But you know, getting that team chemistry with.

202
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 5: The new guys, with the younger guys, and so really

203
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,079
focusing on those things have been important for us.

204
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,279
Speaker 6: And then the off season, we knew we had to attack.

205
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,079
Speaker 5: The off season if we want to reach our goals

206
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:31,519
and you know, make that college football payoff. Apperiods got

207
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,720
to buy it to the system. And I think we

208
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:34,879
have the best coaches to help us do that, and

209
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:35,639
we just got to trust them.

210
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 6: And so it's been great.

211
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:37,759
Speaker 4: If you were able to make plays, don't tell me

212
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:39,759
who you picked off if you them, but have been

213
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:40,720
able to make some play so far.

214
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been able to make some plays. It's been fun.

215
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,240
So yeah, it's been great.

216
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,159
Speaker 4: Talk about the strang conditioning staff. You've gotten bigger, stronger, faster.

217
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,639
This group came in a few years ago, and you know,

218
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,519
you the best ability is availability. You've seen more playing

219
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:54,600
time amongst all of the starting eleven on the defense.

220
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think, like I always say this,

221
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,679
I think we have the best strength stuff in the country.

222
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,759
You know, just the way that they calculate. Everything is calculated,

223
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:05,759
and everything is a science based and so having people

224
00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:07,720
who know their stuff like that and being able to

225
00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:10,279
trust guys like that, our bodies feel good.

226
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 6: Like going into spring, I feel really good. Winter was

227
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,519
really good. I got a lot strong, everyone got a

228
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:15,759
lot stronger and faster.

229
00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 5: And so yeah, I'm grateful for those guys. I'm blessed

230
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,080
I got to play under them.

231
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:21,799
Speaker 4: Are you running with the ones and the two's? Are

232
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,320
just the ones?

233
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 6: Right? Not just the ones?

234
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: Ye?

235
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 4: And let's get into the lighthearted stuff. Are you superstitious

236
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,480
as a player? Do you have any you know, game

237
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,679
traditions that you like to do, you know, going back

238
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,159
to day's a.

239
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 5: Tempt game traditions At tim V I used to play,

240
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:37,399
we used to have a superstis. We used to play

241
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:40,879
spike ball before with Logan Fano Spencer Final them. We

242
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,360
used to have a tradition and then we kind of

243
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,759
stopped that. But I would say game tradition or superstition,

244
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:54,240
Oh not really, honestly, I kind of just just kind

245
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:54,679
of just chill.

246
00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:58,519
Speaker 6: I'm a big like just relax on game day, don't

247
00:09:58,519 --> 00:09:59,480
really do a lot and.

248
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 4: Then an app it all.

249
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 6: I don't take it.

250
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 4: I don't know, you don't taken Okay.

251
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 6: That'll give me.

252
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't like taking naps. No, I know there

253
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,879
is a superstison that I probably had. I got to

254
00:10:10,919 --> 00:10:11,480
think of it though.

255
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 4: That's who I could come back to you. The last

256
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,559
couple of things here with you safety rated the money.

257
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,000
When you travel, do you have a favorite travel snack

258
00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:19,679
that you like to eat?

259
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 5: Travel snack? Oh yeah, oh yeah, the gummy jolly ranchers.

260
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 6: Okay, you can't go wrong with those are my favorite ones.

261
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,799
Speaker 5: And then they fill our bags with snacks in the

262
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:32,240
airplane and so definitely go with that. And then probably

263
00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:35,919
like a Blue Power Aid blue zero zero.

264
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, you can't let the sugargart and

265
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,960
blue not the red. Last thing for me on social media,

266
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,759
you guys last year you were traveling and they said

267
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:43,720
who could fly the plane?

268
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: It was you?

269
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 4: You know, I know your brother dayson. I want to

270
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,960
give you a chance for rebutt. I don't know if

271
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,519
it's I'm revealing, probably the private messages Dason said I

272
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:51,440
would not trust.

273
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,039
Speaker 6: Him to fly the plane.

274
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 4: What's your rebuttle to that?

275
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 5: Because I thought you was start a little bit of

276
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,360
shade that you know how that guy is.

277
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,919
Speaker 6: He likes to instigate a lot, but he knows when

278
00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:04,799
it comes down to it, that I'm more trustworthy than him.

279
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 4: So yeah, ready to.

280
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: Do there you go.

281
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,639
Speaker 2: That's Raider to Mooney, some great content. There are a

282
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,120
number of gems. Uh, some of the gems. We can

283
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,200
talk about Ronald any injuries.

284
00:11:21,399 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: I mean in a in achematics, Yeah, in a in

285
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,080
a in an interview setting. He said it not me, right,

286
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,480
I wasn't. I didn't ask for a specific thing, right,

287
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:32,919
So I mean Raiders said it but said Ace was injured, right,

288
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,919
So I mean.

289
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 6: That's why he wasn't able to a whole lot, right, Yeah,

290
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:38,759
I mean, and.

291
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 4: That's uh, you know that's a that's uh. Look, you

292
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,519
want him to play obviously, been to get reps because

293
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:47,799
you know this is IG's last year, k Laes last year.

294
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,159
I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong. So you

295
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,480
want everybody to be healthy, right, best ability is availability,

296
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,360
That's what you want. So uh, maybe that's why he

297
00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:57,080
hasn't you know, participated, is because of that. But you

298
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,240
want to get him back strong, right. You saw him

299
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,679
make plays last year, and the depth in this linebacker

300
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,039
room is great I don't think we're saying anything that

301
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:05,919
people don't know. Jay Hill said it when he was here,

302
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,320
a package with three safeties, right. They've mentioned that before,

303
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,720
and it sounds like that's carrying over. Raiders said it.

304
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:14,440
I didn't say it. So look, I mean, then we

305
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:16,720
know what it is. Tommy prasss Folatile, saw to Alin

306
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,320
Raided DEMONI or some of the three best safeties. And

307
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:23,320
in this room they make plays. They're very talented. You

308
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,200
can put them in the box, they can get down,

309
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,200
he'll and stop the run. I mean, look, I'm not

310
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,399
surprised if that were to stay. We'll see what tomorrow

311
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,720
Warren does. He's probably gonna tweak a few things in Kelly,

312
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:36,039
but ultimately you know he'll have the last say. But

313
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,960
if they do have that band, I mean, you know,

314
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,919
I'm a big fan of TP. I thought he made

315
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,279
a lot of great plays coming out. You know, to

316
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:43,639
be at a play as a young guy raider, the

317
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,200
veteran in that room take on that leadership role. He's

318
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,759
great in the run stopping him and then you know

319
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:50,919
what Volatile brings up potential as people starting to think

320
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:52,519
if he has another year like he did last year,

321
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,120
first round pick right. People are starting to bring it up.

322
00:12:55,159 --> 00:12:57,120
It's a guy that's gonna play at the next level.

323
00:12:57,519 --> 00:12:59,720
So I mean, look, this is why I wanted to

324
00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:03,240
interview Raider, the senior who's calm, cool and collected, very poised,

325
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,159
very great, you know, in front of the mic, even

326
00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:07,919
some tongue in cheek stuff. I know his brother. I

327
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,039
went to a camp with his brother, so know the

328
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:13,679
family pretty well. But yeah, Ben, And then one one

329
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,159
other thing I want to point out, how about Ryan

330
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,799
fell a shout out to the strength and conditioning staff. Look, Raider,

331
00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:21,600
besides friendly fire last year that we saw and it

332
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,600
was friendly fire, He's been healthy, He's been very He's

333
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,559
been healthy his whole college career. And that that that

334
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,360
plays the fact to Ben to stay on the field,

335
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,840
to be able to make plays. And look, not my words,

336
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:34,200
I brought up them. Kelly was on the program, talked

337
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,039
about Raider, Klane talked about Raider. So this is a

338
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,279
guy I think, look like you said, this's gonna be

339
00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:40,679
one of the co captains. There's gonna be a lot

340
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,120
of co captains, and number three is definitely gonna be it.

341
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,720
So love, love what I heard from from Raider. Excited

342
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:48,759
to see him on the field running with the ones.

343
00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:52,480
And then another another gym, ben Keenan Pula. That's gonna

344
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:54,720
be a guy that's gonna make plays. You saw on

345
00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:56,960
the video that boy you released on they you know,

346
00:13:57,039 --> 00:13:58,399
one of the things that they put out to b

347
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,519
Ro he had an interception on Tracey. So that's a

348
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,399
future guy that you got to look out for. Four

349
00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:06,120
stars coming in from you know over there at Alone Peak.

350
00:14:06,159 --> 00:14:08,279
We're at tim View at one point like Raiders. So

351
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,840
those are my gyms from the interview, and I'll let

352
00:14:10,879 --> 00:14:11,480
you give your thoughts.

353
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, indeed, no plenty of gems there and Raiders

354
00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:18,840
expected to do big things this year. I think they're

355
00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:24,200
fully invested in having their seniors and their tenure guys

356
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:28,440
ball out and those that have you know, been in

357
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,279
the lineup and have proven themselves, and that's what they're

358
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:31,759
doing right now.

359
00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: They're showcasing those guys.

360
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,519
Speaker 2: It sounds like fall of Telsatawala and Raider have been

361
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:38,679
running with the majority of the ones you have, you know,

362
00:14:38,799 --> 00:14:42,840
Tommy Parassis, Ken and Pula and others with the two's.

363
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,720
Tommy's also i think been rotating in that three safety

364
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:51,159
that three safety combination at the Nickels spot. So I

365
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,440
think they're trying every way to find the best eleven

366
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,679
and we'll see who that best eleven are.

367
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 3: You know, come come fallball.

368
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: But I imagine we'll see a lot of of Raider,

369
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:05,679
Volatile and Tommy uh like we did last year. So

370
00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:09,120
great player profile there with Ronald the ringman Weaver.

371
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,039
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what question you got for one question?

372
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,159
Speaker 4: And he said, Keenan pulla and again he has to

373
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,399
earn it, right, you know, just like legend Glasger and

374
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,919
you know football better not doing schematics, but I haven't

375
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:22,600
seen anything. Can you have four safeties on the field

376
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,200
and once? I mean, I don't think it would ever happen.

377
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,600
I'm in a dream world, not trying to be you know,

378
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,519
hyperbolic here, but could Raider, Tommy Folatel and Keenan I'll

379
00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:33,039
be on the field. Someone have to be in the

380
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,720
Nickel spot. I feel like for that to happen.

381
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's more of a dime package than

382
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,120
for you, right, So I mean you definitely in like

383
00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:44,320
obvious passing situations, prevent situations, you could see that possibly,

384
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:47,480
but you know, more often than not, I mean, you know, Kins,

385
00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:51,440
He's a safety, rights, he's a safety. So what you

386
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,159
would have to do in that situation if you if

387
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,919
you really wanted all those guys on the field, and

388
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,600
you wanted their playmaking ability and ball skills, you have

389
00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:02,360
to row follow Toowe into the box as a as

390
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:05,039
a linebacker, got yourself. That's how you'd have to do it.

391
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,399
You have to put follow Toole as a linebacker, Tommy

392
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:09,480
is as a as a nickel, and then you have

393
00:16:09,559 --> 00:16:10,840
Kennon and Raider on the back end.

394
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: Does that make sense?

395
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: That's why I'm.

396
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: Not saying it won't happen.

397
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how feasible it is, but I will

398
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,480
say that, you know, follow Towel is the type that

399
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,279
that could play that Isaiah Glasker.

400
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, with that lengthen size and aggress. No, I asked

401
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,039
you because I knew you would know what the schematic sor.

402
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,159
But I looked at that as like, could this be possible.

403
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it look maybe possibly, you know what

404
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:31,519
I mean.

405
00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if it will, but I like the

406
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,159
skill set of those four guys.

407
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, followtow would have to be a linebacker. You'd

408
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,960
have to be a linebacker. Tommy at the nickel spot

409
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,720
and then Raider and Kennon at safety.

410
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 4: If you're listening, I know you're not, but go ahead,

411
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,120
put on that extra fifteen baby, Go ahead?

412
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:48,639
Speaker 6: Yeah?

413
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:49,639
Speaker 3: What is it? What is falle?

414
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:50,519
Speaker 6: What is fire?

415
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,279
Speaker 4: Lemon in ad? Right, let's look at it. Give me

416
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:53,120
one second. I'm gonna pull it.

417
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: What he's weighing right now?

418
00:16:56,279 --> 00:16:58,399
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you wonder how accurate it is sometimes,

419
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,840
you know, sometimes they put on they decrease wade, Like

420
00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:04,640
if he's at like two twenty by now he's like two.

421
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,599
Speaker 3: He's at two fifteen.

422
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 4: He's close. He's close another baby.

423
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is he puts on another five man.

424
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,519
Speaker 3: We're like ooh LB, yes, sir linebacker too.

425
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been sticking h He's been hitting that hit

426
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,200
stick a whole lot this last season. And more hit

427
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,400
sticks to come. And BYU Football History.
