35
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:52,519
five through and eight Orthroprosiutah dot com. Kelly Pepinga, just

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,640
assess the defense overall what you've seen through spring practices.

37
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:04,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just consistency, Like today ended really well, we

38
00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:07,599
just got to get the start a little bit better.

39
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 4: But I was I was really pleased the way that

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,120
we finished practice.

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: You know, there's a drive here or there where you're

42
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:14,599
just like, you know, those are the ones that keep

43
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,599
you up that night. But I just think we got

44
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:19,159
great players. We got some players that are out right

45
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:20,800
now so we have those pieces back in the fall.

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,319
You know, I'm super encouraged. Just really just the consistency

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,520
part that you know that we got to get get

48
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:27,879
better at.

49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 4: But I think that's something you're always fighting, but we'll

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:30,479
get there.

51
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: Consistency, starting fast and ending strong. It sounds like they've

52
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,280
had some issues just starting fast, and that's okay.

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: Talented crew, attendured crew.

54
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:42,039
Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to get them up and you got

55
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,800
to get them at him uh and roll in uh

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,800
and keep them motivated to start the practices. As far

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,599
as position groups, let's start with a linebacker. How have

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,199
Cad and Jake placed Kate and Jake Clifton, your two

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,960
transferred linebackers, one from the a suc Cal and Jake

60
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,479
from Kansas State in the Big twelve.

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,319
Speaker 2: How has their impact been?

62
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Kate and Jacob been great man, They've I

63
00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:12,479
thought both of them performed really well. They've picked up

64
00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:14,719
the defense really fast. Both of them are super smart guys,

65
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,680
very talented, very versatile. I think they can do a

66
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,240
lot of different stuff for us. But yeah, we just need,

67
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,400
you know, some leadership qualities to start to come out.

68
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:25,159
I think, you know, when you're a transfer, you're you're

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,319
kind of in that middle ground to trying to figure out, like,

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,800
you know, what's my role? What kind of leadership can

71
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,400
I have? I haven't been here, there's other leaders so

72
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,840
I think they're still trying to figure that out. But

73
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,039
they're perfect fits for this place as far as just

74
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:39,439
the personalities and the characteristics that we're looking for, and

75
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:42,240
as far as players go, it's exactly what we're looking for.

76
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:48,159
Speaker 1: Great players, great men, really well rounded on and off

77
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:50,479
the field, the listic humans. They're a great fit for

78
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:52,319
b Why you I expect them to play a pivot

79
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:56,000
role in this defense this season in twenty twenty six.

80
00:03:56,639 --> 00:04:00,000
How beneficial can that be for a guy like Cialius

81
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,400
who's seen a lot of reps and now gets that

82
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,199
added competition in the linebacker room.

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,599
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, the competition in the room is gonna be fierce.

84
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:10,879
It's gonna be fun. I'm really excited to see how

85
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,639
how it all unfolds in the fall. We got great depth.

86
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,120
Now we just got to get everybody, you know, on

87
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,680
the same page and making sure we're executing at eye

88
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,079
level and the consistency part, like I talked about earlier.

89
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:24,319
But yeah, I'm just I'm excited to have a room

90
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,399
like we have where there's great depth. You know, Coach

91
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,240
Ennit did a pretty good job of recruiting those guys

92
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,199
in and I'm kind of taking taking all the uh

93
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,120
you know, the benefits from it, but it's a I

94
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,920
just feel like it's like that at every position really

95
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,920
too as well. Yeah, I feel the depth on the

96
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,480
team for the most part is excellent.

97
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: Depth on the team is excellent.

98
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,319
Speaker 1: Shout out to Justina recruiting that linebacker room extremely well.

99
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,040
And Kate Pop gets the benefit from you. I'm kind

100
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:52,959
of chuckling. He's like, this is a really good group here.

101
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,120
And so shout out to Justin Eda who is taking

102
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,720
his talents to the special teams coordinating role and not

103
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,560
even coaching a position. I mean's his full bandwidth and

104
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,160
strategic uh, you know, mental acuity will be will be

105
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,720
allocated fully and fourth Ridley to the Special Teams unit.

106
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,120
Shout out to Justin Enam now Justin Kirklin. Speaking of

107
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:19,519
other Justins, Justin Curkltz, big man transfer from Oklahoma State,

108
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:22,120
saw minimal time red shirted last year. Played I think

109
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:24,040
what four or five games with the Coups last year,

110
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,720
big man two gapper Justin Kirkland was a guy who

111
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,279
wasn't able to perform like people wanted last year.

112
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:31,079
Speaker 2: He's back. Is he healthy?

113
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: Yes, Justin's had a great spring way different than the fall. Uh,

114
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,680
he's healthy. He was a little banged up in the

115
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,680
springtime or in the fall, but now he's healthy and

116
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:44,199
he's going, and I just I feel like he he's

117
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:46,000
just playing with better pad level. He's lost a little

118
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,720
bit away, he's leaner, more mobile, he's playing super physical.

119
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,439
He's hard to move to try to single.

120
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:51,759
Speaker 4: Block that guy.

121
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: Good luck, but uh yeah, a really strong, big, athletic

122
00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:57,199
guy that we need in the inside to help us

123
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:57,959
play great defense.

124
00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: So I love it.

125
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,959
Speaker 1: Better pad level, more flexible, lighter, and you can't single

126
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,600
block him. You're gonna have to double You're gonna have

127
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:09,040
to duo him. You're gonna have to combo block this

128
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,759
man six foot three, three hundred and thirty five pounds

129
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,720
Rechirt senior on the West Haven Utah Oklahoma State is

130
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:18,120
where he transferred from. Played two season Otklahoma State after

131
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,959
one year a Utah Tech up here in twenty six

132
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,319
games for the Cowboys with seven starts. Named to the

133
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,720
Academic All Big Twelve team in twenty twenty four. Played

134
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:27,079
in all twelve games in twenty twenty four, finishing with

135
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,160
eighteen total tackles, three and a half tackles for a

136
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,160
lost one sec and a quarterback hurry. In twenty twenty three,

137
00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:34,000
played in all fourteen games. Have started each of the

138
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:37,279
last six at nose tackle, credited with twenty two tackles

139
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,920
on the year and eleven of which we're soolo stops.

140
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:42,519
So when he's healthy, he's strong, he's tough to move,

141
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,439
and he makes plays. He can penetrate as well, especially

142
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,639
if he keeps that pad level low. That'll be a

143
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:52,439
boon for BYU. If Justin Kirkland is healthy. And you

144
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,879
know what I think, Ronnie, I think this strength and

145
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:58,720
editioning program, the nutrition program, the medical staff, the athletic

146
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,279
training staff has really uh booyed up Kirkland because I

147
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,160
think he was I think he was always injured at

148
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:04,959
Oklahoma State.

149
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:06,639
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on that, Yeah, I.

150
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,199
Speaker 5: Mean, look, we had Zach Lancaster front of the program

151
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,199
over and what did he say? He said that was

152
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,920
one of the things. You know, He's like, my only

153
00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:14,959
word is something being he told you that, I remember

154
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,240
it like it was yesterday. Is that the health of Kirkland.

155
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,279
When he's on the field, he's a monster. But that's

156
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:21,720
the issue is getting on the field now. I think

157
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:24,639
losing weight can help you, but Ben, let's just be honest.

158
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,319
If he is able to be healthy with Keanu who

159
00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:28,720
learned a new position, who is going to be in

160
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,480
year two of playing that same position, and justin in

161
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,720
the middle, now BAU becomes a true run staff in defense.

162
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,319
Speaker 4: They already were last year, but this elevates it now.

163
00:07:37,439 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 5: But now you don't maybe have to commit the linebackers

164
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:41,839
as much or if you want to get after the

165
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,120
quarterback when you blitz, they can get there a lot

166
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:46,639
quicker and quarterbacks can't escape. And Bo, you had what

167
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,560
thirty sacks last year? I can't I don't know how many.

168
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,720
I ts you might know that the number off the

169
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:53,120
top of your head. But justin Kirkland is a key

170
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,879
piece that they're missing. Especially with JT not getting that

171
00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:58,360
year back, You're gonna need someone else, So they need

172
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,639
Justin to be there with Keanu that's gonna help. But yeah,

173
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,199
the biggest thing has been, you know, the availability, because

174
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,160
that's your best ability.

175
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: Availability is your best ability, no doubt about it. Getting

176
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:12,600
back to the K pop commentary brought to you by

177
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:15,279
it worth the pros of Utah Orthprosovutah dot com. If

178
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:17,839
you're an offensive or defensive lineman, make sure you prevent

179
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,439
those knee injuries with Don joint ebraces, the best in

180
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:22,600
the business. Twenty five out at the top twenty five

181
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:25,319
teams in college football wore Don joint ebraces with their

182
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,600
offensive lineman. You should too if you've got a high

183
00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:30,399
school offensive lineman here in the state of Utah. Now,

184
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,919
k Pop, how important is springball for the development of

185
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,480
this BAU football team.

186
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think for the most part, for the youth,

187
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:40,799
I think it's I think it's the most important the

188
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,320
guys that are in experience, right, So for even kid

189
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,320
that's an experienced football player, just getting him you start defense.

190
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,559
Jake as well, kind of the same thing, but these

191
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,639
new I think it's the most valuable for these freshmen

192
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:53,120
that you're coming in and guys that maybe haven't played

193
00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:54,600
a lot to have a lot of game experience, that

194
00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:56,320
don't have a lot of game experience. Those are the

195
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,879
guys that benefited from the most. But you get in

196
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:02,960
the camaraderie part of it more in fall camp because

197
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,120
there's a lot of guys that are out right now.

198
00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:05,559
I looked over there today and I'm seeing, you know,

199
00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:09,000
Celia Sarah's out, Isaiah Glasker's out, Evan Johnson's out, and

200
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:10,639
we got a bunch of key pieces that are out

201
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,600
that are you know, nothing serious but this. We'll have

202
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:16,639
them all back. But uh, it's just you know, once

203
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,559
we get all the pieces together, I think we have

204
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,440
a chance to be good. But that's you know what

205
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,240
I told him after practice today. We can talk about

206
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,840
it all we want. People can tell us how great

207
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,279
we're gonna be. It doesn't matter. None of that matters.

208
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,600
We got to go put all the work in on

209
00:09:27,639 --> 00:09:30,399
the field and you know, take all the steps and

210
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:32,080
go through the process what it's gonna take for us

211
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:32,519
to be great.

212
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,279
Speaker 1: Any any new jerk reaction there, Ronald as he's listing

213
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,120
off all the guys that are sitting out during spring ball.

214
00:09:40,519 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: We knew about Isaac Glasker. We had a feeling from

215
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:45,519
not seeing Celia. Now we can say it because Kelly

216
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:48,200
said it. We didn't see him participating. The Evan Johnson

217
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,120
one is a little bit question.

218
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:50,519
Speaker 4: Marcus.

219
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,639
Speaker 5: You know you're you could argue your cornerback yet because

220
00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:54,759
you know what you have with Evan and Trey. And

221
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,279
then Javin Williams comes in and ben I interviewed him

222
00:09:57,279 --> 00:09:59,320
a couple of weeks ago, So you don't like that.

223
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,799
At the end of sp I guess the silver linings

224
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,759
is almost over. And then he Kelly said, is not

225
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:06,120
too serious, But you don't like that. For Evan, your

226
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:08,200
redshirt senior who comes back and if he has another

227
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:11,120
year like he did this year, has aspirations for the NFL,

228
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,080
so you want him healthy.

229
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 4: He's CB one man, C.

230
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: B one, Evan Johnson, Evan Evan, what's the strength of

231
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:23,440
your defense heading into the final week of springball?

232
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:27,159
Speaker 3: K pop Man, That's a great question. I think we

233
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:29,279
I think we have strengths every where. I think leadership.

234
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,879
If I'd have to say anything right now, I feel

235
00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:33,879
really good about our leadership. I think Keanutanovas has done

236
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:35,440
a great job there. I think Evan Johnson does a

237
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,759
great job with the back end Raider and Foley and

238
00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:41,159
Tommy Prassis. I think a great job in the safety room.

239
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,399
I just I feel like leadership in every room is

240
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,799
really good. Hunter Clegig with the outside backers, I think

241
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,679
it's as good as I've seen since I've been here.

242
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,000
And so it's kind of like we gotta make sure

243
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,320
we just stay out of the way and let them

244
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,679
do their thing. A player lead team, saying I learned

245
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,799
from Bronco a long time ago, like a player led team.

246
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: Is way better, way better than coach led team.

247
00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:02,159
Speaker 3: Right So, if we have to sit there and helnd

248
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,799
them and beyond them all the time, we just don't

249
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,120
have the right guys and we don't have the right team.

250
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,879
But this team is a team that's holding themselves accountable,

251
00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:10,440
holding a high standard or really as coaches, we really

252
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,960
don't have to say or do much. The players are

253
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:12,440
doing that for.

254
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 2: Us right now. I love that look.

255
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:19,399
Speaker 1: I think it's really important that you herald the the

256
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,559
mentors of your career. And I love the fact that

257
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:30,440
we're we're heralding the the mentorship of Bronco Menenhall. I

258
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,440
think it's good to bring together the best of the

259
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,399
Lavel era, the best of the Bronco era, the best

260
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:41,679
of the Kilate era. And I think it maximizes the output,

261
00:11:42,039 --> 00:11:45,639
the productivity the culture. I think it actually riches the culture.

262
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,000
So he's my coach. I love Bronco now. I was

263
00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:51,039
also coached up by Kilate. I think, you know, the

264
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,679
best of both worlds is a Kialate Bronco hybrid in

265
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:55,159
my opinion.

266
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: And guess what.

267
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,639
Speaker 1: You guess what you got with k pop You're getting

268
00:11:57,639 --> 00:12:01,080
you get a Kilate uh Bronco high rid And I

269
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,799
think I believe Yeah, Colada menden Hall like that combo

270
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,440
to me is very powerful. And you want the love

271
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,759
and learning with the accountability, discipline and effort and the

272
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,960
staying humble, stay hungry of of Kilani with UH, you know,

273
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,799
the the kind of the more stringent, militaristic style of Bronco.

274
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,559
I think those two things combined are very very powerful.

275
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:31,679
So I get jacked up about it. I get juiced

276
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,159
about it.

277
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:32,759
Speaker 3: UH.

278
00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:35,919
Speaker 1: And I love that Kate Pop's given shoutouts to UH.

279
00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:39,360
Now the Utah State head coach Bronco Menet Hall love

280
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:41,600
and appreciate Bronco and everything that he did for me.

281
00:12:42,159 --> 00:12:45,519
Now a guy you just brought up, uh, Tommy Prassus.

282
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:47,679
He's dealt with some injuries last year. Is he back

283
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,279
to his normal normal self?

284
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: Tommy looks great. Yeah, he looks as good as I've

285
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,759
seen him in. That competition between Raider and following him

286
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,320
is awesome, and there'll be times that we're maybe all

287
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,759
three of them on the field at one time. But yeah,

288
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:02,840
I feel great with the safety room. I'm Ken and

289
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:05,639
Pools and other guy's come along that we've been really

290
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:06,919
pleased with. Jaron Kalama.

291
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 4: I think that safety room is competitive.

292
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 3: It's competitive everywhere, which is just a great sign of,

293
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,960
you know, the depth that we have on our team.

294
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,320
That's what it's going to be. And so for you

295
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,679
to play early man, you got to come in and

296
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,279
learn the defense quick and get bought into the culture

297
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,639
and the system fast. And I think that's happening. And

298
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,120
it's fun to see the older guys really teach these

299
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:26,200
younger guys too as well. And Tommy's been one of

300
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,159
the best examples of helping these younger guys grow in

301
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,200
that system that safety.

302
00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

303
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,799
Speaker 1: Look, Tommy was injured last year. He had converted over

304
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,559
to nickel early on in the season, actually in fall camp.

305
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,279
He never played corner in his life and made the

306
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,759
transition because there was some attrition there with other injuries

307
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,799
and depth issues, and so he made the transition. He

308
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,360
got dinged up at that nickel spot and then ended

309
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,799
up red shirting, got to play, I think a little

310
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,720
bit in the bowl game and maybe in the Big

311
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,279
Twelve Championship game. But now he's helping strong. He was

312
00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:02,639
one of the fastest guys on the football team. Uh,

313
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:05,080
and he's got great footwork. I think Rob Daniel has

314
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,879
been a pivotal piece in his development at that nickel spot.

315
00:14:08,919 --> 00:14:12,759
But yeah, Tommy can play all all three safety positions. Uh,

316
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:13,919
you know all three?

317
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:14,519
Speaker 2: You know.

318
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,399
Speaker 1: I mean when when Kate pop says, you know that

319
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:19,120
you could see him all three on the football field

320
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,200
at the same time. You could see Uh, you can

321
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:25,639
see you know, maybe Falle roll up into that that

322
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:30,000
strong outside linebacker nickel spot. You can all see guys

323
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,399
like Tommy roll up in there as a true nickel

324
00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:35,799
because he can he can play press man. He's he

325
00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:39,759
can be that good and he's continually getting better, bigger, faster, stronger,

326
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,840
more mobile, more mobile and uh explosive as well and

327
00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:48,080
becoming more physical in the run game. So those three guys,

328
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,159
uh provide a ton of experience, a ton of talent.

329
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: And uh great leadership.

330
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,519
Speaker 1: So shout out to Tommy Pass's follows, TuS to a

331
00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:59,320
wild Rader demoney, uh, but Kate Pop giving him some love.

332
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,960
To TP, specifically the nefew. Shout out to the nephew TP.

333
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,639
You were on the field as special teams coordinator. I

334
00:15:06,679 --> 00:15:09,639
noticed or we noticed when you walked in that you

335
00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:12,320
were on the balcony. Does that mean you're gonna be

336
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,440
in the box?

337
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: K Pop?

338
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: Just practicing mitch Man, you know, just seeing what I

339
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:18,960
want to do. You know, could be on the Yeah,

340
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,320
I don't know, honestly. I think you know, in my

341
00:15:21,399 --> 00:15:24,159
first thirteen years of my career, I was up in

342
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,320
the box. So every season I was with Bronco except

343
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,360
for maybe one at Virginia, I was I was up

344
00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:32,919
in the box. I think it was my last year

345
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:34,240
of Virginia I came down on the field and so

346
00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:36,200
ever since then I've been on the field. So I

347
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:37,559
here at Boise I was on the field. Of my

348
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:39,759
last three years, I've been on the field, and so

349
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:44,320
really just seeing what I like, honestly, and so it's

350
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,759
been I've had a couple of times up in the

351
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:47,360
box and a couple of times down on the field

352
00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:51,159
in these scrimmage situations and just seeing what vibe is best.

353
00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 4: I don't know, I just you know, what.

354
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,039
Speaker 3: Worked for coach Hill or what works for other coaches

355
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:56,639
might not work for me. Right So I'm trying to

356
00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:58,879
see what's best for us, you know, as a as

357
00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:02,240
a team, and we'll get to it. But yeah, right now,

358
00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:03,960
it might be both. Who knows. Maybe you know, there's

359
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,440
some coaches that go up and then they come down

360
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,960
at halftime. I don't know what it'll be, but we'll

361
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,000
we'll find out what we'll help our team be the

362
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,639
best that we can be.

363
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,639
Speaker 2: Where do you lean here, Ronnie?

364
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: Do you think k Pop is in the booth or

365
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,320
on the field as defensive coordinator for b YU next year.

366
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 5: I think exactly what what what he stated is what

367
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,799
it's gonna be for a little bit till he gets

368
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:27,360
his field.

369
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna.

370
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 5: Start a little bit, you know, maybe in the box

371
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,039
test that like, Okay, this worked, Jay Hill had some success,

372
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,559
and then I think he's gonna go down to the

373
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:37,840
field at half see I likes.

374
00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna see a hybrid of it Ben.

375
00:16:39,919 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 5: But I do think by the time he gets around

376
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,120
to that Notre Dame game, I do think K pop

377
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,240
is is gonna transition back to the box. I do

378
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,159
think Kelly's gonna be back in the box called in

379
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,200
plays because I think he's gonna want to see you know,

380
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,600
it from up there. Not that you don't want to

381
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:56,279
see it on the field, but I think that that

382
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,399
you know, that broadcast at bird's eye skyview been where

383
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:01,360
you can see it develop. When you like what it is,

384
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:03,879
you can really get after the quarterback the way you want.

385
00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:05,359
So I think you'll do a little bit of both

386
00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:07,440
to get his foot, you know, his feet wet, test

387
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,640
it out. But I do think K Pop ultimately for

388
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,759
the twenty twenty six twenty seven season will be in

389
00:17:12,759 --> 00:17:13,160
the box.

390
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

391
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: He also said, you know, start the first half up

392
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,720
in the box, come down in the second half, vice versa.

393
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,039
I'll put it out. I'm gonna put that out as

394
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:25,519
a pole. Is he in the box? Is he on

395
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:28,680
the field. Is he going back and forth?

396
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: What say you Cougar nation? And why?

397
00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:36,799
Speaker 1: I do feel like like he's the type that wants

398
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:38,680
to be able to look into the eyeballs of his

399
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:43,319
team and see where they're at. Bronco as the head

400
00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:46,960
coach at BYU and even as the head coach of UVA.

401
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,519
I mean he's always on the field, right, that's where

402
00:17:48,519 --> 00:17:50,880
your head coach is, even when he was you know,

403
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,559
obviously calling plays, et cetera.

404
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: And there's something to being able to look into.

405
00:17:55,279 --> 00:17:58,839
Speaker 1: The eyes the hearts of your team to see where

406
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:04,079
they're at emotionally, uh, physically, psychologically, But there's also a

407
00:18:04,079 --> 00:18:07,240
lot of virtue and being above it all and not

408
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,319
being emotionally tied to anything.

409
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,319
Speaker 2: And it's more objective and what you're.

410
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: Seeing and receiving information too from your your coaching staff

411
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,119
that's on the field. If someone's fatigued, uh, you know,

412
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,240
someone who's is injured, someone's struggling, get them out and

413
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,440
uh and and and you know what they're You know,

414
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,480
you rely maybe a little bit more on your eyes

415
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,559
as you see schematically and the information that's coming to

416
00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:36,359
you from your coaching staff. So I wanna I think

417
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,599
he wants to be on the field. That's where he

418
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,240
wants to because he's a football player. Football players like

419
00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:44,400
to be on the field. But I think eventually, with

420
00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:46,559
everything that happened with Jay, I wonder if he's gonna

421
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:47,000
move up.

422
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,519
Speaker 2: Into the box.

423
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,759
Speaker 1: Football player, football player Gruden style.

424
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:54,559
Speaker 2: Baby. So this is a tough that's a tough thing, man. Yeah,

425
00:18:54,599 --> 00:18:55,359
that's a tough thing.

426
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: I don't uh, I don't know where Where would you be, Ronnie.

427
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,079
If you're the are you gonna be a booth guy

428
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:01,839
or a field guy?

429
00:19:02,759 --> 00:19:05,519
Speaker 4: I think if I'm a position coach, field guy, if I'm.

430
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: As a coordinator, oh coordinator?

431
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, I was going through it. No coordinator.

432
00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 5: I'm I'm in the box, definitely, no doubt. I can

433
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,559
see everything. I like how it is, the vibe. It's quiet,

434
00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:16,279
and I'll be honest, Ben, can I really keep it

435
00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:18,039
a buck with you? My nerves are already on end

436
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:19,880
when I'm playing in a game because I'm locked in

437
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,960
trying to think, you know, and calculating my brain. As

438
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,759
a coach, it's one thing as a player. As a

439
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:27,079
coach is like, the box is quiet. I got my

440
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,119
people next to me, you know. I can communicate, I

441
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,640
can see it, and then you know, I can get

442
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,759
you know, feedback. Remember Iowa State who came over Jay

443
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:38,119
Hill and says, scrap that it go go, No, it's over,

444
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:41,279
don't do it, restart the basics. We're gonna do it

445
00:19:41,279 --> 00:19:43,359
all over again. Gary, you know, one of the one

446
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,200
and only Gary Anderson. Like, I think it's good to

447
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,279
have a team around you, Ben, and not that team

448
00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:50,440
can't help you on the headset, but Ben, you and

449
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,359
I like, look at it, we do great work when

450
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,359
we're next to each other in the box.

451
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,079
Speaker 4: That'd be very.

452
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,799
Speaker 5: Difficult to try to do work if if I'm on

453
00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:59,000
the sideline trying to cover the game and you're up top,

454
00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:01,519
Like it can be done. But like, no, I think

455
00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:03,160
next to each other in the boxes that that's for

456
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,079
me at least. And I think Kate Pop, like you said,

457
00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:06,880
you know me as your teammate. I think you can

458
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,839
hear in his voice he wants to be on the field,

459
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,319
but I think he knows ah to make this work,

460
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:11,920
I might have to.

461
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,519
Speaker 4: You know, we can't go down, We have to go up.

462
00:20:14,559 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 5: You know that thing. Hey, look I'm joking, but I'm serious.

463
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,039
I think Kelly wants to be on the field. But

464
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,759
I think that's what I said that I think he's

465
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:22,200
gonna do half and half. I think he's going to

466
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:24,400
start in the box, be on the field, but ultimately

467
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,640
I think half to the season he'll stay put and

468
00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:28,359
be in the box.

469
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 4: That's just my opinion.

470
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: Something to gauge, something to monitor, no doubt about. A

471
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,640
final question for Kate Plot from the media. Availability brought

472
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,079
to you by Arthrop Pros of Utah. We distribute Orthpedicain

473
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,599
sports medicine supplies. We like to brace up the knees,

474
00:20:40,599 --> 00:20:43,240
the ankles, the risks, the elbows. For all you offensive lineman,

475
00:20:43,319 --> 00:20:48,119
stay healthy, stay strong, don't be injured in the offseason.

476
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 2: Or during the season.

477
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,559
Speaker 1: Your best abilities, your availability, and offensive linemen that are

478
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:53,920
healthy ultimately win championships at the end of the year.

479
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 2: So stay healthy, stay strong. Spend a few hundred on

480
00:20:56,039 --> 00:20:56,880
prevention rather.

481
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: Than thousands on post injury and post sergical interventions. Uh K, Pop,

482
00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:05,480
have you made a decision yet and to build off that,

483
00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:07,640
how much have you learned as a defensive coordinator up

484
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,119
to this point?

485
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 2: Uh?

486
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've learned a lot.

487
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot to.

488
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: A lot to manage is what I'm learning as far

489
00:21:16,759 --> 00:21:19,119
as just you know, I think back to my time

490
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,640
with you know, other coordinators, and whenever a position coach

491
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,680
has a question, you go in and ask the coordinator.

492
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,039
And now I'm realizing there's like five other guys coming

493
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:28,240
to me asking those questions of how you want something done.

494
00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:31,079
And so yeah, just being able to get everybody on

495
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,440
the same page, getting everybody coordinated and doing it the

496
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,079
way that we want to do it is the most important.

497
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:38,920
It's not I'm I'm not about like what I want,

498
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,680
it's what we want, what we're best at. And there's

499
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,440
a lot of really good coaches in that room that

500
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,519
have a lot of really good ideas and experience, and

501
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:48,519
so we got to use all the resources that we

502
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:49,759
have to help us be successful.

503
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: So a collaborative, cohesive approach. It's not just the tyrannical

504
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,400
tyrant saying this is how we're gonna do it, and

505
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,920
and you get it, step in line and stay in line.

506
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,960
This is how I want to talk to this. I

507
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,319
want to ask you to, Hey, what do you think,

508
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,519
give me your thoughts? This is how I've done it before.

509
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,519
What do you think? It's collaborative? So and I think

510
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,000
Kelly's always been a team guy. He's always been a

511
00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:16,680
team guy. He's always taking a team approach in everything

512
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,759
that he's done. That's why he was a fantastic teammate.

513
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,359
Even though he led by example, he led vocally. He

514
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,400
always was a collaborative teammate and strength and editioning on

515
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:29,079
the field off the field, and that's why he's a

516
00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:29,680
great coach.

517
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:29,960

Speaker 2: It is time for a little college football on Cougar Sports.

602
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:07,319
Speaker 1: Aaron Roderk, your offensive coordinator as well as quarterbacks coach,

603
00:26:07,319 --> 00:26:09,839
address the media. We want to read between the lines

604
00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:12,480
a little bit. The offense returns much of its production.

605
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,599
This is a really good college football team led by

606
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,640
Bear Bachmeyer on the office side of the ball. And

607
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,039
I was just chatting with someone earlier today and we

608
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,400
were talking about Bear, and this is a football mind

609
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,440
I'm talking to. He's like, I was blown away at

610
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:29,000
just how much progress Bear's made from even last year

611
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,839
to this year. The ability to read, react and make

612
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,559
great decisions. He's throwing the ball better, with more velocity

613
00:26:39,039 --> 00:26:43,839
and increase accuracy. Bear Bachmeyer is looking like the real deal.

614
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,640
He's gonna have a tremendous season if he stays healthy,

615
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,440

Speaker 7: Who I think we just have a you know, I

644
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,680
gonna be a balanced team. We can run it, we

645
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,680

646
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:07,319

Speaker 4: Yeah.

654
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 5: When I hear that, I just think, Look, it's a

00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:28,440
a rod does is not a man of many words,

656
00:28:28,519 --> 00:28:31,319
unless you know you he really wants to pontificate on it,

657
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,400
but he's simple and he says, Look, we're gonna do

658
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,200
what we always do. We're gonna run the football, tell Jim,

659
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,799
and we're gonna set the play action throw to the

660
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,279
tight ends, and then we're gonna win football games.

662
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 5: It's a guy that's focused on winning and not how

663
00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:44,519
sexy it looks. He doesn't care about that.

664
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: Let's play one more time because this is his identity.

665
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,880
This is key identity of the offense.

666
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: Right.

667
00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:51,599
Speaker 1: What do you feel is the strength of your offense

668
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,920
with one week remaining in spring ball?

669
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 7: Oh, I think we just have a you know, I

670
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,319
think we have balance. I think I think we we're

671
00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:02,519
gonna be a balanced team. We can run it, we

672
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:04,519
can throw it, and we have good size, and we're

673
00:29:04,519 --> 00:29:05,200
gonna be physical.

674
00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: Balance.

675
00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: That's there's balance. Run pass fifty to fifty. You know,

676
00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:13,960
at most you're sixty to forty past a run, but

677
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,519
you want to keep the defense on its toes, keep

678
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:22,279
them on their heels, and you have a fifty to

679
00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:24,720
fifty ordeal there that opens up, as you mentioned, the

680
00:29:24,759 --> 00:29:29,119
play action pass, and I think that's what they're gonna do. Big, fast, strong,

681
00:29:29,319 --> 00:29:33,720
physical football and balanced football at Brigham Young University. Do

682
00:29:33,799 --> 00:29:36,960
you feel confident a rot about what you've seen from

683
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:38,759
the running backs not named LJ.

684
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: Martin?

685
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, is a really good football player. He's one of

686
00:29:43,359 --> 00:29:45,200
our best players last year till he got hurt, and

687
00:29:46,039 --> 00:29:49,559
and the year before, and Devon Aka is doing a

688
00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:54,640
good good job. Preston Rex has improved a lot. So yeah,

689
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,680
we're gonna be really very solid running back.

690
00:29:57,799 --> 00:30:01,039
Speaker 1: So given love to Sioni first and foremost at that

691
00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:05,079
RB two spot, and then give some love to Devon

692
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:07,079
Ecka and Presston Rex.

693
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:07,839
Speaker 2: No mention of.

694
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,519
Speaker 1: Logan pain the Logan Pain train there, but those could

695
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:14,720
be your top four running backs. Your reaction if that

696
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,640
is your your top four, how you feel in confidence wise?

697
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: Ronald the three man we were in the rush game

698
00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:21,240
behind LJ. Martin.

699
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a that's a good look. When is healthy,

700
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,119
he is the real deal.

701
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 5: We saw him have that breakout, you know, the game

702
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,039
against Kansas City and it's unfortunate guys get.

703
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 4: Hurt because of d rails.

704
00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 5: You know how high how hog excuse me, how high

705
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,160
of a ceiling they can have and with back there,

706
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:39,039
you know what they are when they're both running that way.

707
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,880
You saw when LJ and Hinckley were getting at it

708
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:44,960
then a couple of seasons ago, you know, well last

709
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:47,160
year with Jakins, just see them that last year jected

710
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,359
the year before bear with Jake, So you hope that

711
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:51,319
that's what they get back to, where you can have

712
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,920
an ultimate one to two punch and really it just

713
00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:56,519
wears and tires of defense down because Ben, what does

714
00:30:56,559 --> 00:30:58,480
be what you'd like to do? Remember Daron Hall all

715
00:30:58,519 --> 00:31:00,480
the time was where you know, kill Tom.

716
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:01,279
Speaker 4: We want to kill clock.

717
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,279
Speaker 5: They want to run the ball be when they get

718
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:05,559
to that six minute mark and they get the ball

719
00:31:05,599 --> 00:31:07,440
back in the fourth and they're up. You know, whether

720
00:31:07,519 --> 00:31:10,640
that's a definitely when they got the victory one or

721
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,079
if they need to keep the ball away. They just

722
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,720
they want to do the ty last year a Rol

723
00:31:13,759 --> 00:31:16,119
wants to do that. He enjoyed being able to just feed,

724
00:31:16,599 --> 00:31:18,200
you know, and have that. So that's what they want

725
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,720
to be at a grind it down six minutes getting

726
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:23,720
victory formation and Neil Kalani does not want to score

727
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:25,799
points if he doesn't have to if they have the

728
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,400
victory already intact after that six minu in mark.

729
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,519
Speaker 4: So that's what they want to get back to.

730
00:31:29,599 --> 00:31:31,839
Speaker 5: I think that they will. Symo gives that Sea, but

731
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,799
Devon Ecka gives him a chance. Ben, I think that's

732
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:37,559
the biggest kiss only gets hurt. How fast can Devon

733
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:40,359
flash and get get pick up the college game because

734
00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:43,400
you know, you get even LJ. Martins had his injuries

735
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,039
and you know, Heaven forbid knock on this. You know

736
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:47,000
a question is going to come up about Bears health

737
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,000
and backup quarterbacks. But can Devon make an impact as

738
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,720
RB three and be ready if anything were to happen,

739
00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:55,119
Can Press and Rex elevate his game in the past game.

740
00:31:55,519 --> 00:31:58,039
Those guys have to be ready, Ben, because you never

741
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,119
know what's going to happen, and you could be you know, look,

742
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:03,480
no one thought that Riggie Sonder was gonna get hurt,

743
00:32:03,519 --> 00:32:06,799
and look what happened with bou basketball. So they have

744
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,599
better depth in a running back room. But Devon and

745
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,359
Press and just need to keep their number in their

746
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,880
jersey ready because you never know what could happen in

747
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,680
a game of football.

748
00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Roderick, in your eyes, what are the biggest benefits

749
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,200
of spring football?

750
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 7: Just development, just seeing guys grow a little bit each day.

751
00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:29,000
You know, we're just trying to just take each practice,

752
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,319
one rep at the time and try to get a

753
00:32:30,359 --> 00:32:33,880
little bit better every day. And you know, each individual player.

754
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,920
It's fun, it's fun to see guys grow and improve

755
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:40,960
and you know, make a mistake and then learn from

756
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,960
it and then not repeat that mistake and get it

757
00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:45,279
right the next time. That's that's what spring ball is

758
00:32:45,279 --> 00:32:45,640
all about.

759
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,359
Speaker 2: That's what spring ball is all about.

760
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: Development, especially from those young bucks, the less experience, the

761
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,160
the individuals that haven't seen as many reps, the transfers,

762
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,519
as well as far as guys like Kyler Casper, Walker Lions,

763
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:05,359
Roger Sally of PAGA gonna be happily involved in this offense.

764
00:33:06,039 --> 00:33:08,000
We'll get to the Walker Lions interview later on, but

765
00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:10,519
Walker actually gives love. I don't know, did you did

766
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:13,480
you listen to that Walker Lions interview that I did yet, Ronald,

767
00:33:13,839 --> 00:33:14,559
have you listened to it?

768
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:16,279
Speaker 2: And I have it?

769
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

770
00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:20,119
Speaker 2: Remember my empty set conversation?

771
00:33:20,279 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: I remember that that I do remember.

772
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,079
Speaker 2: This was unprovoked. I just asked me who stood out

773
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:26,279
to you?

774
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,079
Speaker 1: And he went through his like Reggie Frishnet, Jojo Phillips,

775
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:33,559
and Kyler Casper.

776
00:33:33,599 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, I was blown away. I was that way. Well,

777
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,119
we're gonna see some empty set here with the the towers.

778
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,599
Speaker 5: Did you bookmark that that tab of all of them

779
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,160
in the towers and and you need to bookmark it

780
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,440
because I here's the thing, Ben, we're discussing this in March.

781
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,480
Sometime in October, that's gonna come up and we're gonna

782
00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:56,480
have to quotes he didn't have the discussion and rehash

783
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,559
and I'm gonna have to pull tape.

784
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, got a pull tape, no doubt about it. Anyway,

785
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,880
I thought that was interesting. We'll get to that later

786
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,920
on the show. But let's get back to commentary from

787
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,760
Aaron Roderick. As far as the quarterbacks behind Bear, what

788
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,119
have you seen from them.

789
00:34:14,599 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 7: Doing good things? Trayson's a veteran player. He knows our

790
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,440
offense very well, has a lot of respect from his teammates.

791
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,719
He's playing good football, lots of confidence in him. And

792
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,480
then Enick Watson is learning what to do, but super talented.

793
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,719
He's a very high ceiling guy, super athlete, live arm.

794
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:37,559
He's just in the process of learning, learning the offense

795
00:34:37,599 --> 00:34:41,199
each day. He's right on schedule to be a really

796
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:42,000
good football player.

797
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:44,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

798
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: Look, Tracy Boorgae, you know season tenured guy with experience

799
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:52,679
not only within the BU system, but you know prior

800
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,880
at Western Michigan, and Edick Watson really like him. A

801
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,519
lot a talent, without a doubt, He's going to be

802
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:06,719
good if his football like you continues to develop. I mean,

803
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:12,360
the core tangibles, the clay is fantastic, and I just

804
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,840
need great coaches to extract the most out of them,

805
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,679
I think. And he's got to put in the lonely

806
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960
work as well to elevate that football like you, to

807
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,519
make great decisions and nowhere to go with the football, uh,

808
00:35:22,639 --> 00:35:25,639
in order to maximize that athleticism. So, like what I'm here,

809
00:35:25,679 --> 00:35:27,840
do you think there's gonna be a QB two competition

810
00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:30,840
during fall camp? Ronald of three Man, We've already think

811
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,880
Tradyson's going to be able to lock that up without

812
00:35:33,199 --> 00:35:35,000
much of a competition, you tease to.

813
00:35:35,079 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 4: Let's listen to this next question. I can give you

814
00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:37,519
my answer.

815
00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:39,039
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.

816
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,079
Speaker 1: Does that mean Trayson Borgai is QB two since he

817
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:44,480
knows the locker room and is a key piece in

818
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:45,280
that locker room.

819
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 7: He's been taking most of the reps with the twos.

820
00:35:49,079 --> 00:35:52,920
Enix had had some as well, and we're just we're

821
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,320
letting that play out until until we get to the season.

822
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,599
But right now, Trayson's just got the advantage of having

823
00:35:58,679 --> 00:35:59,800
been here, and Trayson's doing.

824
00:35:59,679 --> 00:36:03,519
Speaker 1: A good Trayson's got the competitive advantage. But if he's

825
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:05,719
open for competition in fall camp.

826
00:36:05,639 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: Gonna let it play out. But QB two as of now.

827
00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: Is trade a Trayson Boorgae out of Tucson, Arizona via

828
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,039
Western Michigan, the guy that also recruited Kyler Casper c

829
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,519
b Yu. So there's some there's some equity built up there.

830
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:28,559
There's a lot of sweat equity, uh, institutional knowledge, schematical knowledge,

831
00:36:29,039 --> 00:36:31,320
and and he's a glue guy in that locker room.

832
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 2: Ronald the three man Weaver.

833
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,159
Speaker 4: He definitely is these all the things that he mentioned.

834
00:36:34,199 --> 00:36:35,880
But Ben, can I can I do this?

835
00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:38,639
Speaker 5: You know, if if it does a bit is if

836
00:36:38,679 --> 00:36:39,760
it hits you with a book on my left hand

837
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,000
doesn't mean right handed. I'm keep saying that, saying here's

838
00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:46,199
why Ben, I've heard this before. Ah the red shirt senior,

839
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:48,440
the freshman. She's like, Oh, we're gonna let that play out.

840
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:49,960
Tracy's ahead, he knows the playbook.

841
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 4: I'm reading.

842
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,639
Speaker 5: What a Rod is saying is like, so what you're

843
00:36:52,679 --> 00:36:55,119
telling me A Rod is you like Inani Gwatson And

844
00:36:55,159 --> 00:36:57,679
he's there, but he just don't know the playbook yet

845
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:58,079
and he's not.

846
00:36:58,559 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 4: He is a few things.

847
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 5: He's got a clear up, so we're gonna let him

848
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,280
have an off season fully and then come and Fall

849
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,239
Camp and beat tracing.

850
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 4: That's what I hear.

851
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,559
Speaker 5: Ben, That's what I hear is we like Goldie and

852
00:37:08,639 --> 00:37:11,000
then rightfully so, but that's exactly what I hear is.

853
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,440
You know, we could put a cap on it now,

854
00:37:13,639 --> 00:37:16,119
but when this thing gets to Fall Camp, it's like

855
00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:19,039
Emerson guy and we like, we know what ENO's gonna do.

856
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,639
It's just he's like, look, look, I know how it

857
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,760
was played rugby younger. Yeah, you know, he's got to

858
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,440
learn to playbook. Come along and then you know by

859
00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:29,679
that sawhomore Junie's thrive and then I got to be

860
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,920
a senior register.

861
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 4: He was like, wait a second, they like this.

862
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,079
Speaker 5: It is like I seen this episode before I was there.

863
00:37:35,519 --> 00:37:38,559
So that's just honestly how I feel. I think they're

864
00:37:38,599 --> 00:37:40,760
letting it play over because they always do rightfully. So

865
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,000
it's competition and brings out the best. But I do

866
00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:45,119
believe in A Watson at some point been in the season.

867
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,360
It could even be Fall Camp. It's gonna be QB two.

868
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,920
A Rod likes Nick and everything that he brings. But

869
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
there's some things that tracing, like he mentioned, has on

870
00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:56,119
him and that's because of time in the program, veteran

871
00:37:56,199 --> 00:37:57,000
in college football.

872
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 4: But don't don't sleep on Goldie. He's he's lurking in

873
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,199
this shadows and he's coming.

874
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 2: No doubt about it.

875
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: Watch out for Goldie, Ianig Watson and the competition that

876
00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:11,440
could brew during fall camp. What's your confidence love on

877
00:38:11,559 --> 00:38:15,559
those two guys. Heaven forbid if bear Bachmeyer ever went

878
00:38:15,679 --> 00:38:16,719
down due to injury.

879
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have a lot of confidence in both of them. Again,

880
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,079
Enoch has a lot to learn, but his upside is

881
00:38:23,199 --> 00:38:26,559
very high. And in Trayson's case, I think Trayson's an

882
00:38:26,639 --> 00:38:29,519
underrated athlete and he knows our offense very well and

883
00:38:30,079 --> 00:38:31,880
he when he goes in, we don't skip a beat.

884
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,880
We can operate at a high level with Trayson right now.

885
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: Operate at a high level with Trason right now. Doesn't

886
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,079
miss a beat, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. So

887
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:50,519
Trason uh looking to continue to solidify himself as QB two,

888
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,119
But there's going to be a competition. You need competition

889
00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:56,440
to push yourself. You don't want Trayson Boorgae getting too

890
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,199
comfortable as QB two behind Bear Bachman.

891
00:38:59,199 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 2: I got to continue to put competition.

892
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: It's the refining fire, right, iron sharpens iron. We need

893
00:39:06,079 --> 00:39:10,239
that uh sharpening there in the off season. Obviously you're

894
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,480
on the offensive side of the ball, but who on

895
00:39:12,599 --> 00:39:13,679
the defensive side of the ball.

896
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: He Rod has stood out to you.

897
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 7: Oh, Man, there's there's a lot of good players over there.

898
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,639
Kado Lave shows up every day. I mean, I'm are

899
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,840
are there's a lot of good players in our defense

900
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,079
where they're they're flying around and and I don't you know,

901
00:39:29,159 --> 00:39:30,639
I think they're gonna be just as good or better

902
00:39:30,679 --> 00:39:31,519
than they were last year.

903
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,639
Speaker 1: Gives the love to Kado Lave showing up all day

904
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,920
every day. Uh, Cad is a busy bee. That dude

905
00:39:42,119 --> 00:39:44,920
just does not stop. He is relentless. Like I said,

906
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,159
he is a combo of Rob Morris, the freight train

907
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:52,719
and branded Ogletree. Okay, I'm telling you right now, it's

908
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,719
that that's who I see. This guy has the high motor, violent,

909
00:39:56,119 --> 00:40:00,639
explosive athleticism. I've chatted with uh with Visu like, hey,

910
00:40:01,039 --> 00:40:03,360
how good is kat Wabbi? And he said He's like,

911
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,880
look if he's healthy, He's gonna be the best player

912
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,480
on the football field. So I thought that was interesting,

913
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,079
you know. And uh, and then that's a guy that

914
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,760
coached him up there at cal So. At any rate, Uh,

915
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,760
Kadoulabby get little love from the offensive coordinator. Takes a

916
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,079
lot for the OC to give some love to the defense.

917
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,000
He chose to highlight Katu Lawab. What does that do

918
00:40:27,159 --> 00:40:28,199
for your expectations?

919
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:28,639
Speaker 2: Ronnie?

920
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: Heading into twenty twenty six with Kaid in that metal

921
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,119
linebacker room, you have.

922
00:40:33,159 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 5: To wonder if he can be just as good or

923
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,239
better than Jack Kelly in one year. And that's not

924
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:38,840
how I perberctly look at what he's done. And he

925
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,360
stops previously, you know, and what I mean the stop previous,

926
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,400
I mean cal like he was what all freshman team,

927
00:40:45,039 --> 00:40:47,400
all acc team, Like, this is a guy that you know,

928
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,559
and we're gonna hear from him in about forty five

929
00:40:49,599 --> 00:40:52,599
minutes in my interview, why he chose to come to BYU,

930
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,440
Why he believe he can elevate, Why you know he

931
00:40:55,559 --> 00:40:57,280
wanted to be under Kelly Papingo.

932
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 4: Who recruited him when he was back at Boise States.

933
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,679
Speaker 5: Give you a tease, So so yeah, I definitely think

934
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,480
he botes well that this linebacker group again, Ben is

935
00:41:04,559 --> 00:41:07,159
gonna be one of the best last year. Look, it's

936
00:41:07,199 --> 00:41:09,079
not about where you started, it's where you finished. None

937
00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:10,639
of them are on the preseason list to any of

938
00:41:10,639 --> 00:41:13,159
the Big twelve. And then you had Jack and Isaiah

939
00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:16,400
get mentioned, you know, and you know the first second

940
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,880
team last year or third whichever one it was. But yeah,

941
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,360
you should look out for Bo's linebackers. They got they

942
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,519
got some dudes. And I know they talk about Kate

943
00:41:23,559 --> 00:41:26,239
a lot, but Jay Clifton's also a dude. Isaiah Glasher

944
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,440
came back. You still got si Ali a Serra. This

945
00:41:28,639 --> 00:41:30,920
linebacker group, Man, it's gonna be tough to push your time.

946
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,599
It's tough to get time in general we deserved from

947
00:41:32,639 --> 00:41:35,360
K pop. But yeah, kat Luave sounds like he's ahead

948
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,760
of Snake And look, Ben, I expect him, if he's

949
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,000
not rotating, to be the guy. You don't bring a

950
00:41:40,039 --> 00:41:41,679
guy like that in the number one linebacker out of

951
00:41:41,679 --> 00:41:43,760
the transfer portal and just to have him be on

952
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:44,400
the sidelines.

953
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 4: You expect them to come in.

954
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 2: And make plays.

955
00:41:47,039 --> 00:41:50,119
Speaker 1: Players make plays, play to play on. We talked with

956
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,000
Kelly thinking earlier about leadership. Who has emergered as a

957
00:41:54,079 --> 00:41:55,880
leader on the offense specifically.

958
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's one thing we definitely have. You know, we've

959
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:01,800
we have a lot of guys that have played a

960
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,599
lot of football here. So you know, you've got great

961
00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:08,440
leadership from Bruce Mitchell and and l J and Jojo

962
00:42:08,679 --> 00:42:10,920
Phillips has played a lot of ball, and you know,

963
00:42:11,039 --> 00:42:14,159
Bear is a really good leader. And I'll probably forget somebody,

964
00:42:14,159 --> 00:42:16,679
I should say, But then I'm impressed with these transfer

965
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,599
guys too. You know they're coming from When you get

966
00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:20,719
guys that come from Oregon and USC, they've been in

967
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,639
good programs, they've played a lot of football.

968
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,599
Speaker 4: They know what they know what practice is.

969
00:42:24,599 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 7: Supposed to be like, they know what meetings are supposed

970
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,400
to be like. And so you have Roger and and

971
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,719
and Walker and Kyler. You know those guys are they're

972
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:33,679
already leaders.

973
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 4: In our program.

974
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 7: They're the lead by example every day, they're learning what

975
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,599
to do, they're learning our offense each day. But lots

976
00:42:40,639 --> 00:42:43,679
of good leaders in this on this team, you know, Gentry,

977
00:42:44,039 --> 00:42:45,039
there's there's a bunch.

978
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: Of them, a lot of good leaders on these offense

979
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,639
that have stood out. And I was surprised that even

980
00:42:51,679 --> 00:42:55,280
the transfers that have been their Walker lions, alluding to

981
00:42:55,719 --> 00:43:00,079
Roger Pockey Feen now at Washington high level program with

982
00:43:00,159 --> 00:43:02,719
high level of players coming in and leading.

983
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,599
Speaker 2: The way as well. So shout out to all those leaders.

984
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: This could be one of those years, Ronnie, where we

985
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,960
have primary captains and secondary captains.

986
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: Do you see it on the running on the Wall.

987
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, And once you put that thought on my head

988
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,280
and you presented that, you know, a couple of weeks ago,

989
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,599
I said, yeah, it feels like that twenty twenty two

990
00:43:19,639 --> 00:43:22,760
season with Jaron Puka Gunner. You know, just two many

991
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,079
Chris Brooks, Climpini Guito is like, yeah, there's not gonna

992
00:43:26,079 --> 00:43:28,639
be Desney captains. You might have like one guy maybe

993
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,199
like a bear or a bruise, but like, for the

994
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,440
most part, you're gonna have a lot of co captains,

995
00:43:32,519 --> 00:43:34,639
no doubt about it. Guys are gonna be because look,

996
00:43:34,679 --> 00:43:37,719
I mean you got guys even like you know, Raider

997
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,679
de Mooney stepping up into a role. You know, Trey

998
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,239
I or Alexander's been a vote Like it's tough, man,

999
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,840
how do you pick one? You can't, so you'll have

1000
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:44,679
multiple yes.

1001
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:46,159
Speaker 2: No doubt about it.

1002
00:43:46,679 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: A Rod, Do you feel like the offenses going into

1003
00:43:49,679 --> 00:43:53,440
player run practices ahead of schedule with Bear heading into

1004
00:43:53,599 --> 00:43:55,079
this offseason.

1005
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess you could say that.

1006
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 7: I don't want to act like we've arrived or anything,

1007
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,320
but I do feel confident about where we are right

1008
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,639
now and where we're going. And having you know, Bear

1009
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,599
got here so late last year, having him from January

1010
00:44:10,679 --> 00:44:17,440
one through the spring, you know, just's he's another He's

1011
00:44:17,519 --> 00:44:20,079
such a good leader, and he knows our offense so well.

1012
00:44:20,079 --> 00:44:22,840
He's really smart, and so I'd say just in that

1013
00:44:23,679 --> 00:44:25,440
having his experience is huge.

1014
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,039
Speaker 1: Hey, Yanita a great leader in the offseason at its

1015
00:44:31,079 --> 00:44:33,920
best when it's player led from the quarterback position, no

1016
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,760
doubt about it. The left tackle position, of of course,

1017
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,960
We've been discussing that on the show. I've said it's

1018
00:44:39,079 --> 00:44:42,519
probably pockey Fee now looks to be Pockey Feen Now.

1019
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:47,039
Is there competition Bruin, who's replacing Isaiah Jada? What's developing there?

1020
00:44:47,079 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 2: Ah Rod.

1021
00:44:49,119 --> 00:44:52,199
Speaker 7: Packey Fee now is playing with the first team right now,

1022
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,079
and he's you know, we tried to recruit him in

1023
00:44:55,159 --> 00:44:57,039
high school. We loved him in high school. We feel

1024
00:44:57,079 --> 00:44:59,079
really great about having him now, he's doing a nice

1025
00:44:59,199 --> 00:45:02,719
job and seas out there doing a good job too.

1026
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,199
But Packey's been taking most re ups of the ones

1027
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:06,079
and has played very.

1028
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: Well well Few or lat too Few is the backup

1029
00:45:12,039 --> 00:45:13,880
right now with that left tackle spot. Remember c C

1030
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,639
what was the Stanford commit decommitted from Stanford. Came over

1031
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,239
with his brother Callippi, who was a defensive lineman commit,

1032
00:45:20,679 --> 00:45:25,119
and they arrived last season and a red shirted in essence,

1033
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,159
and now they're competing Callope competing on the defensive line

1034
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,360
and then CS one at left tackle behind Pocky Few.

1035
00:45:32,599 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: So really good.

1036
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: Talent there, some inexperienced from CSA, but very much a

1037
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,199
talented crew, no doubt.

1038
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: Can you give us some context? But Pockey for now

1039
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,280
he's the dude, He's the guy.

1040
00:45:44,639 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: Him and those muscular triceps up here in great footboard.

1041
00:45:48,639 --> 00:45:50,960
Shout out to Pocky f now making me look good

1042
00:45:51,519 --> 00:45:56,480
with my prognostications and projections when I initially evaluated him

1043
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,400
as he transferred to BYU. Can you give us some

1044
00:45:59,639 --> 00:46:02,800
content on how the playbook has been expanded to for

1045
00:46:03,079 --> 00:46:05,599
Bear going into year two A Rod.

1046
00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean Bears, he's brilliant. I mean he's he's

1047
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,960
as smart of a kid as I've ever ever known

1048
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:13,079
period in life.

1049
00:46:13,159 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's very sharp.

1050
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,679
Speaker 7: So yeah, are just our ability to give him two

1051
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,440
or three options every play and get us in the

1052
00:46:20,519 --> 00:46:22,480
right play based on what the defense is doing is

1053
00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:26,000
pretty fun. And it's you know, you're I guess. Sometimes

1054
00:46:26,039 --> 00:46:28,119
it might be we hand the ball off and make

1055
00:46:28,159 --> 00:46:30,039
three yards and nobody in the stands thinks it was

1056
00:46:30,039 --> 00:46:31,880
anything special, But he just got us out of a

1057
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,000
really bad play and we made three yards.

1058
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's just something like that.

1059
00:46:36,119 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 7: Sometimes it's getting us into a play that's a huge play,

1060
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,920
you know, where he sees what the defense is doing,

1061
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,199
gets us to a different play.

1062
00:46:42,039 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 4: And we we you know, have an explosive play. So

1063
00:46:45,679 --> 00:46:46,320
it's it's fun.

1064
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:47,119
Speaker 7: He's a fun guy to.

1065
00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: Coach, fun guy to coach, making the coach look a

1066
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,039
lot better than you know he is.

1067
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 2: Right Like, there's a lot of trust. Now. Granted, the

1068
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:57,400
coach has.

1069
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: To implement certain schemes, certain terminology, certain languages and get

1070
00:47:03,519 --> 00:47:07,920
him up to speed. It's the coach's job to implement

1071
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:14,519
and to teach and to exhort right, but ultimately, the

1072
00:47:14,599 --> 00:47:16,000
player has to get out there and be able to

1073
00:47:16,039 --> 00:47:19,000
recognize get a visual stimulus and then react to it

1074
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,719
and make good decisions at the line of scrimmage. And

1075
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,079
so it takes two to tango, and you can tell

1076
00:47:26,599 --> 00:47:33,199
the relationship between these two is phenomenal. A Rod has

1077
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,679
gotten a heat every now and again over the years, okay,

1078
00:47:37,159 --> 00:47:39,400
ever since he took over as the primary.

1079
00:47:39,079 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 2: Oc for BYU football.

1080
00:47:41,519 --> 00:47:45,599
Speaker 1: And I hope there is a certain amount of gratitude

1081
00:47:45,639 --> 00:47:49,440
of appreciation given to a Rod now because guess what,

1082
00:47:49,599 --> 00:47:52,159
Without a Rod, you don't get Bear. A Rod has

1083
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,599
been madly, deeply invested and in love with the skill

1084
00:47:56,679 --> 00:48:00,440
set of Bear Bachmeyer. Ever since Bear came to Provo,

1085
00:48:01,599 --> 00:48:04,000
A rodd tried to recruit him, A Rodd tried to

1086
00:48:04,039 --> 00:48:07,280
get him to b YU. Bear wasn't interested at the time,

1087
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,599
or not as interested as he was in Stanford. Remember

1088
00:48:09,599 --> 00:48:13,039
his brother with Stanford, et cetera. But now you have him,

1089
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,440
Now you got him. Remember you lost Jake Htzlaff last year?

1090
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,239
Do you do an honor code violation and a seven

1091
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,559
game suspension? He ends up at Tulane, He's still a

1092
00:48:21,599 --> 00:48:22,960
part of the b with your brother, and he comes

1093
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,760
back for the pro dates throws well shout out to

1094
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:29,519
Jake Retzlaft b ygu once Cougar, always cougar. But without

1095
00:48:29,559 --> 00:48:32,719
a Rod, you don't get Bear. Without Bear, you don't

1096
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,280
win twelve games last year. Like I think, it'd be very,

1097
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,079
very very difficult to win twelve games. And I love

1098
00:48:39,199 --> 00:48:41,320
mcgay Hillston, and I love Trayson Moore Gay. I just

1099
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,559
don't know if you get there without Bear. Bachmeer ladies

1100
00:48:43,559 --> 00:48:47,119
and gentlemen, boys and girls. My opinion, let's go into

1101
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,840
the final two questions here. Does Bear exude, you know,

1102
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,039
some qualities like Jaron and Zach of being able to

1103
00:48:55,119 --> 00:48:58,320
take in so much information and process it so quickly.

1104
00:49:00,519 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I'm reluctant to compare the quarterbacks we've

1105
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,079
had here to each other, but I always say, though.

1106
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,199
Speaker 4: That all of them have more in common than they

1107
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:08,880
do differences.

1108
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 7: I mean, all the whether Zach, whether it's Jaren, Jake, Bear,

1109
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,239
all these guys are quick release guys that get the

1110
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,159
ball their hands fast. They're good decision makers, and they're

1111
00:49:19,159 --> 00:49:23,440
good athletes. And that's consistent with all those guys. Now,

1112
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,039
each one of them who is different, has a few

1113
00:49:25,079 --> 00:49:28,840
other things that differentiate them. But that's what we look

1114
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,159
for is athletic guys that have a fast release and

1115
00:49:31,199 --> 00:49:32,199
are good decision makers.

1116
00:49:36,639 --> 00:49:41,639
Speaker 1: Does I mean I think that comedy is a powerful one.

1117
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,679
They have more in common than they do have differences.

1118
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:51,840
He talks about quick releases, quick decision making processing, Jake Bear,

1119
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:53,960
Zach Jaren.

1120
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,199
Speaker 2: If you had a choice, though, who would you want

1121
00:49:58,559 --> 00:50:03,239
leading you in twenty twenty? T controversial. I won't put

1122
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:04,559
this to a poll with it because I may get

1123
00:50:04,599 --> 00:50:04,840
a call.

1124
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,079
Speaker 4: Don't Yeah, don't I may get all get upset about it.

1125
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: Don't you dare create enmity on social media? Man, I

1126
00:50:14,119 --> 00:50:16,199
just try to have a fun time, you know, come conversing,

1127
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,559
debating what do you got, who.

1128
00:50:18,679 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 2: Do you go with? Who do you roll with?

1129
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 5: I'm going with Jaron Hall, and some people are gonna

1130
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:27,159
saund biased with that. Jaren's just been his decision making

1131
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,599
of not putting the ball in the harm's way, and

1132
00:50:29,679 --> 00:50:31,679
I know Bear was the same way. But people have

1133
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,800
to remember Jaren Hall when he was younger. He he

1134
00:50:36,679 --> 00:50:40,360
he got plagued a little bit due to concussions, you know,

1135
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,239
and you saw the talent there and that's really why

1136
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,000
it wasn't I feel like, you know, maybe standing the

1137
00:50:45,079 --> 00:50:47,920
NFL was health. But look, Jared, to me, just I

1138
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,159
want you when you see him in that Baylor game,

1139
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,559
and just like when he takes off on that touchdown,

1140
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:54,519
because a lot of people are like, oh, Bear's running ability.

1141
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 4: No one wants to hit him.

1142
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 5: But yet it's not just running ability business to be

1143
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:59,880
able to get off and then take off. When Jared

1144
00:51:00,159 --> 00:51:01,559
fourth to one, they put the ball in his hands

1145
00:51:01,599 --> 00:51:04,559
and he's running. He's got four star guys track him down,

1146
00:51:04,599 --> 00:51:06,639
they can't catch him, and he gets up to like

1147
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:07,320
top and speed.

1148
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,559
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, is Jared Hall running like a four

1149
00:51:09,639 --> 00:51:13,039
or five? What is that breakaway speed? How many miles?

1150
00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:13,559
Problem is that?

1151
00:51:13,639 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 5: And Kline goes down the sideline tapping, But I just

1152
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,960
I don't know, man. Everything that Jaron did and the

1153
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,199
accomplishing I get. He had a great team when he

1154
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:22,920
was an injured beIN, he was great.

1155
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 4: He was right there.

1156
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 5: I know people are gonna say Zach too, but you

1157
00:51:26,079 --> 00:51:28,000
have to remember, I think Jared's playing against a little

1158
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,719
bit of a different talent Zach at that COVID year

1159
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:31,920
and again you play what you played.

1160
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 4: But still though.

1161
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 5: To me it's Jaron Hall Ben I think he's everything

1162
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,320
that you wanted a Rod loved him, and that's why

1163
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,760
I want him to come back for that first year

1164
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,239
in the Big twelve, to see him light it up.

1165
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,960
But the way he layered the ball, Ah Man, it's

1166
00:51:45,039 --> 00:51:47,639
Jaron Hall for me, Ben, I would take Jaron leading

1167
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,159
BYU into incident. And I think now that he's moved on,

1168
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,239
I think fans see then when you look back at

1169
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,239
the tape, maybe in the moment that he was underappreciated

1170
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:54,840
just a little bit.

1171
00:51:55,159 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 4: But it's to me, it's Jaron Hall.

1172
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: Been Jaren Hall.

1173
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,679
Speaker 1: Look, I think it's hard to go from you know,

1174
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,920
Zach Wilson in his prime. I tend to lead Zach

1175
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,519
with his running ability and throwing ability as far as

1176
00:52:07,639 --> 00:52:11,239
arm talent and athleticism. To me, it's it's Zach Wilson,

1177
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,280
Zachary Capono Wilson, just because of those two elements. But

1178
00:52:16,159 --> 00:52:17,920
you know, what he did in twenty twenty was pretty

1179
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,119
remarkable from efficiency standpoint, from a productivity standpoint, I know

1180
00:52:21,199 --> 00:52:24,760
that the strength of schedule wasn't all that impressive, and

1181
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,400
when when you know, when it came down to Coast Carolina,

1182
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,960
that was a difficult that was a difficult game, and

1183
00:52:30,159 --> 00:52:33,599
didn't you know, you know, maybe win the game for you.

1184
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,519
Speaker 2: But I still lean Zach Wilson. But it's hard. Actually,

1185
00:52:37,559 --> 00:52:41,360
I really like I love bear Bachmeyer. I love him.

1186
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 1: I love you know what he does in the run game.

1187
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,800
I love what he does from a decision making standpoint.

1188
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,679
I love his football IQ and his intermediate passion game

1189
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:51,880
is off the charts, really really good. But you're only

1190
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,880
good as your supporting cast. You're only as good as

1191
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,320
your offensive line. You're only as good as your your

1192
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:57,679
your wide receivers and tight ends.

1193
00:52:57,599 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 2: And running backs.

1194
00:52:58,559 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: And you can make an argument that the party cast

1195
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,079
surrounding bear Bachmeyer's better than maybe some of those other

1196
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,519
crews it in its entirety, But I do think that

1197
00:53:07,559 --> 00:53:10,280
twenty twenty squad was pretty stacked last week.

1210

Speaker 2: Yeah?

1211
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:42,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's.

1212
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 7: Bear's a really good passer. I mean we we brought

1213
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,840
him along slowly last year because he just got here

1214
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,920
so late, and he was a freshman, and also we

1215
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,840
have LJ. Martin in the backfield, So why wouldn't you

1216
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,440
just give him the ball twenty five times a game?

1217
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:55,639
Speaker 2: You know?

1218
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 4: But Bear can throw the ball.

1219
00:53:58,440 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 7: If you guys saw in the bowl game, he saw

1220
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:03,639
the Iowa State game last year. We won some games

1221
00:54:03,679 --> 00:54:06,599
last year with him throwing the football, and that'll happen

1222
00:54:06,639 --> 00:54:07,360
again this year too.

1223
00:54:09,519 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: He thinks he can go to the next level with

1224
00:54:11,079 --> 00:54:14,039
his arm talent a great passer, and he is. I

1225
00:54:14,119 --> 00:54:16,559
think he's a phenomenal intermediate passer. I haven't been able

1226
00:54:16,599 --> 00:54:19,400
to I haven't been able to see yet the velocity

1227
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:24,400
that would merit the true deep ball trajectory and threat.

1228
00:54:25,119 --> 00:54:28,880
But we'll see how it plays out throughout springball and

1229
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:30,400
into the offseason in fall camp.

1230
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,079
Speaker 2: I think he does have an X level.

1231
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,039
Speaker 1: I think he can get more rotational toward and more

1232
00:54:35,159 --> 00:54:38,480
range of motion in that in that core and generate

1233
00:54:38,599 --> 00:54:40,519
more force out of that lower half, because that's where

1234
00:54:40,519 --> 00:54:40,760
it all.

1235
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,159
Speaker 2: Stamps from, not the arm strength.

1236
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: It actually is from the bottom up that he has

1237
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,679
to really address and maximize that fast to witch muscle

1238
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:50,639
fiber that he actually has.
