This week, the word that you 220 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: have selected is focus, Buck, So. 221 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: What do you have for us. 222 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 3: Okay, this goes back to my time in the National 223 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 3: Football League planing and one of the greatest coaches in 224 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 3: the NFL, Marty Schottenheimer. Marty won two hundred regular season games, 225 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 3: I think, one of only seven or eight coaches to 226 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 3: have done that. And he always would have a theme 227 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: of the week, and sometimes the theme would be about focus, 228 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: but focus the way that he phrased it, he did 229 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 3: it in a different way, and it's really become the 230 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 3: way that you hear a lot of great coaches talk 231 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 3: about it. Nick Saban talks about his process. He'll talk 232 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 3: about a single moment in time. Marty used to use 233 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 3: one play at a time. It was about one play 234 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: at a time, focused, one player at a time. Whatever 235 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: that play looks like, good or bad, doesn't matter, because 236 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 3: you have to go to the next one. And when 237 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 3: you really think about having that level of focus where 238 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 3: you put everything into that single moment of time, you 239 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 3: put all your energy into I'm gonna play this play 240 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: the best that I can play it, and no matter 241 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 3: what happens, good, battery, indifferent, I gotta leave it behind 242 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 3: and go to the next one. Well, DJ, when you 243 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 3: think about the way that everyone goes the successful people, 244 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: and what they do is they're able to break big 245 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: things and make them really small along the way. Hey, 246 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 3: so rather than think about, hey, how we're gonna win 247 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 3: this week, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna make 248 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: sure if the game is on Friday night, let's make 249 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 3: sure Monday we win Monday. So let's focus on break 250 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 3: Monday practice, and the next day you go to Tuesday 251 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 3: and Wednesday and Thursday. Then ultimately, the result on Friday 252 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 3: is the accumulation of the things that you do Monday 253 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 3: through Thursday. And if you can get your team, you 254 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 3: can get your team members and people to focus on 255 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 3: let's be great in the single moment and the results 256 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 3: to take care of themselves. A lot of times, DJ 257 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: the success will surprise you just because you've been able 258 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 3: to lock in and really focus on the things that 259 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 3: you can control. And the only thing that you really 260 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 3: can control is your attitude and your effort. In this 261 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: single moment, you give everything that you have in this 262 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: single moment, you leave it out there, you move to 263 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 3: the next one, and if you stack up enough of 264 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: those positives, those wins in those little moments at the. 265 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: End of the day, on the scoreboard, your team is 266 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: gonna be successful. I love it. 267 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: I think back to what we just talked about last 268 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: week when we went into the best of on the 269 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: thousandth episode, the Joe Montana line talked about, you know, 270 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: when he was talking about focus, talking about preparation and 271 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: then concentration. So the preparation to gets you to the moment, 272 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: and then the concentration when you're in the moment. That's 273 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: basically what you're describing there as focus. And I was 274 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: thinking about too, if you think about like before the play, 275 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: during the play, after the play, if you think about 276 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: eliminating distractions, before the play, you think about executing the 277 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: play and then afterwards evaluating the play and then moving 278 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: on to the next one. So in other words, I 279 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: got to know where I'm supposed to be. Okay, now 280 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: the play starts, I got to do what I'm supposed 281 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: to do. The play ends, what went right, what went wrong, 282 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: wash it, and do the same thing over and over 283 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: again throughout the game. But it's being locked literally use 284 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: that phrase all the time, like, hey, lock in, lock 285 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: in like that. That is very difficult to do. 286 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: It's the hardiest thing to accomplish. 287 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: Not only as a player, but as a coach to 288 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 3: get everyone to have that kind of mindset, A one 289 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 3: play at a time, I'm gonna focus on this DJ, 290 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: I'll be honest, which is hard as a coach to 291 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: lock in and be sodality in on each and every 292 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 3: play that your mind doesn't wander or drip and you 293 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 3: have to constantly tell youself a one paty at a time, 294 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 3: got to focus on this one. 295 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 2: I have to do those things. Your little code words 296 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: that you may use. 297 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 3: You talked about before every play at defensive back that 298 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 3: you always talk about alignment, assignment, adjustment. Where do I align? 299 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: What is my assignment? Okay, if there's a motion, what 300 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 3: is the adjustment? Let me go ahead and think through 301 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 3: all these things and now we're playing, Okay, move, got 302 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 3: to go to it. But it requires that kind of 303 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 3: discipline and really it requires that kind of I would 304 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 3: say competitive stamina, concentration stamina. 305 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: And you do that over and over and over again. 306 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: We've seen it from a scouting standpoint. When you bring 307 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 3: in a young player play it is you feel great 308 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 3: about They've got a lot of talent, but the consistency 309 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 3: is not there because they can't lock and concentrate and focus. 310 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 3: One of the hardest things to do at aitning level, 311 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,599 Speaker 3: but particularly in the pros is can you consistently do 312 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 3: what is expected of you down in, down out, And 313 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: the other way that you're gonna be able to do 314 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: it is being able to focus one play at a time. 315 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think there's also something of that even 316 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: if we go on the on the outskirts of football 317 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: into the scouting world, which which we lived in obviously 318 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: for those who know Buck obviously played played the game 319 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, and then as a 320 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: coach now, but obviously a long time as a scout 321 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: when we were doing that together. And I think about 322 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: focus in that profession. Man, when you've when you've been 323 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: out on the road and all of a sudden you've 324 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: racked up a couple of big schools, and then all 325 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden, let's just use this the school that 326 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier. You're at cal Poly and you look 327 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: at the list and they they just got a guy 328 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: who who the national or blessed those scouting services have 329 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: as a undrafted free agent. I can go into that school, 330 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 1: I can go through the motions I've written that report 331 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: five hundred times. But then you've got to go in 332 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: there and focus and leave yourself open to it. Man, 333 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: this guy's played great the last three weeks. Oh Man, 334 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: I just talked to somebody else's associated with the program 335 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: that said earlier this year he was playing with an injury. 336 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody knows that he was playing with 337 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: this injury. Like, if you're not there and dialed in 338 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: and focus, you're going to miss something. And somebody that 339 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: is focused might have that organization can have a leg 340 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: up on you because that day when you were tired 341 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: and you were worn down and you weren't dialed in, 342 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: they were. They got a good player, a good opportunity 343 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: you missed out. 344 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 3: So it goes all the way back to those meetings 345 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 3: when we have kind of shed some light on how 346 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 3: those draft meetings can go. When you're sitting around and 347 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 3: either everyone is looking at the highlight tape or you're 348 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 3: looking at an individual game and everyone's around you and 349 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 3: you may have a big rate on the player, and 350 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: then you're looking at the player like, man, this dude 351 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 3: looks nothing like. 352 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: My report reads, Yeah, what happened? 353 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 3: And it's a lack of funk focus that can get you, 354 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: and that is why we try and build in these 355 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 3: protections against ourselves. A got to go see everybody two 356 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 3: or three times. So if one of those days you 357 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 3: go into you're like, ah, man, I didn't like him. 358 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 3: The next time you go back in, oh, maybe I 359 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: was tired. I don't know what I didn't like about 360 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: this guy is being able to do that. But every 361 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: day you show up, every day you show up as 362 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 3: a scout, your job is to give the best effort 363 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: to make sure that you do have solid evaluation. No 364 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: one wants to have to answer for, uh, why do 365 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 3: we have Brock Purdy as a reject? I come, so 366 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: we're saying Rock Purtty wasn't draftable, that Rock pretty couldn't 367 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: be a player, or any of those stories where we're 368 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 3: seeing lay rounders or undrafted picks. A lot of times, 369 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 3: just an inability to focus that prevents you from being 370 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 3: able to give guys their just due as prospects. 371 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: So let me ask you this question as somebody who's 372 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: been on both sides of this thing, from the player 373 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: coach side of things. This is what I that I 374 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: always I always push back against because we've all been 375 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: around the co which is that sleep at the office. 376 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: We've all been around the guys that it's so all 377 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: consuming they don't have any ability to shut it out. 378 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: And if I was going to make this statement, I 379 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: think it's accurate that fatigue is is an an enemy 380 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: of focus. So if you think about players being tired 381 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: late in the game, they lose their focus. When you 382 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: get you get dumb penalties, you get mental errors, you 383 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: get busts. Well, why would that not apply to coaches? 384 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: You guys don't. A coach doesn't get any sleep, he 385 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: gets no rest. And then you're like, man, he just man, 386 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: he lost does a brain cramp on that that timeout 387 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: or that that call. 388 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 2: Or this, that and the other. 389 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, well, there's still freaking fatigued. They're so tired. 390 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: How do we how do we think the coach is 391 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: going to focus? It's the same exact thing with the play. 392 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: It is absolutely one the same thing. 393 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 3: Uh, as a coach or as a leader business person, 394 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 3: you have to be ready to to to lock in 395 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 3: and concentrate one of the things. And I remember man 396 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 3: Ray Patino wrote a book success is a Choice. This 397 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 3: is right after you had success at Kentucky and these 398 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 3: it might have been the number one thing that he 399 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 3: put in there. 400 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 2: If you don't. 401 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: Orchestrate a turn around, you've got to be in great 402 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 3: shape because it requires a lot of stamina to put 403 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 3: the energy in to turn around a program, or to 404 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 3: turn around the business or those things. Well, another part 405 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: of that is you got to rest and recover because 406 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 3: you got to have the energy every day to attack 407 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 3: it with the same vigor to be able to get 408 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 3: it done. 409 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: And so the lack of focus. 410 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 3: Hand stem from hey man, I'm working long hours, I'm 411 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 3: doing all this. We want to make sure we outwork everybody. 412 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 3: But there is something too, Hey let's work smarter, not harder. 413 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: Let's be efficient in what we're doing. We've heard the 414 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 3: stories about Tony Duney talking about, hey man, everyone needs 415 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 3: to be out here at dinner time because I'm going 416 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 3: to eat with my family. 417 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: And man, do you remember going to cal Remember going 418 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 2: to kel on the visit? Want to kill on the visit? 419 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 3: It might have been doing the tefort error, but they 420 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: would have like you would see the blow up mattresses 421 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 3: in the corner tall the Cots coaches office and you're 422 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 3: like you're sleeping on it on God like, like there's 423 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 3: a lot of them like that. They weren't Yeah, and 424 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 3: you're just looking like, man, is an extra hour of tape? 425 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 3: How's that work midnight? Is that going to help you? 426 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: Or should you just shut it down? 427 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 3: Come back fresher and doing DJ now in today's time 428 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 3: with the attention span of this generation. And I'm not 429 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: being the old man on it, it's just different. Think 430 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 3: about you being around the charges and what the coaches 431 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: may say, Hey, man, we can't go, we can't go 432 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 3: long in about fifteen sixteen minutes before we have to 433 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 3: kind of give them a break to let them. So, 434 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 3: the biggest challenge now is trying to teach young people, 435 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 3: young players in the league, how to lock in and concentrate, 436 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 3: how to focus a one play at the time. 437 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: We got to be able to focus. Just give me 438 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: fifteen minutes of your time. 439 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 3: Then I'm gonna give you a technology break, or fifteen 440 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 3: minutes you can go have a two minute water break 441 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 3: or whatever it is. It's really it's really difficult. But 442 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 3: I think it's difficult for everybody to be able to 443 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 3: lock in and focus. I think that is one of 444 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 3: the things that also was revealing about the pandemic, how 445 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 3: hard it is for us to be able to just 446 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 3: focus with great concentration, great attention to detail over the 447 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 3: course of a significant amount of time. 448 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 2: Yep. 449 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: And I think also a big part of that you 450 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: got to eliminate the distractions. So you can't juggle nine 451 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: million things and be focused. It doesn't work that way. 452 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: You've got to cut some things out. And I think 453 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: that's something that it's a great lessons why I love 454 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: Bucky's Coaches Corner each and every week. All Right, we've 455 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: talked all week long about a lot of these NFL games. 456 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: I want to get to a couple questions about some 457 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: college games. We're going to get to that right after this, 458 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: all right, Buck Looking at the college slate, it's one 459 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: I find really intriguing because you look at some of 460 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: these matchups Texas Oklahoma obviously the historical rivalry there, that's 461 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: going to be a fun one. You look down at 462 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: the SEC matchup between Missouri and LSU. Intrigued by that one. 463 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: That's going to be really interesting. A great game in 464 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: the in the Pac twelve with Washington State, UCLA, even 465 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 1: Alabama at A and M should be fun with anytime 466 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: you get Jimbo Fisher going up against the Nick Sabing team. 467 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: There's going to be some fireworks there, but I want 468 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: to start with this one because I wanted to get 469 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: your thoughts on Ohio State Maryland. Maryland's undefeated kind of 470 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: under the radar right now, undefeated with Locksley at the 471 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: helm there as the head coach, but got to his 472 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: little brother at quarterback. Did you know Himmer get to 473 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: be around him at all through any of the elital levels. 474 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 2: Yes, side coach both of them. 475 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 3: So Too was on my team one year at the 476 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: opening we won championship, had his brother a few years later, 477 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 3: and you know, the toughest thing his brother had to 478 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 3: do was expectations, you know, trying to trying to get 479 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 3: out of to a shadow. And we saw that when 480 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 3: he went to Alabama he eventually had to lead, went 481 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 3: to Maryland, joined up with Locksley. He's talented DJ and 482 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 3: some will say that he's more talented than to. The 483 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 3: difference is Too was always locked in the privy. He 484 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 3: was the first one. He had all the stuff about him. 485 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 3: But he's finding his way. And I will say this 486 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 3: about Locksley, and we had this conversation earlier in the year, 487 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 3: Locksley and I had he says, look, man, I understand 488 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 3: how to do this thing at a high level because 489 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 3: he took basically everything that he learned from working with 490 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 3: Nick Saban the process and going about it, the practice structures, structuring, 491 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 3: the office structuring, like the responsibilities that every staff member, 492 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 3: every coaching member has, how he challenges players. 493 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 2: A lot of that came from his time at Alabama. 494 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 2: He is basically taking that model. 495 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,719 Speaker 3: And everyone is talking about what Kirby Smart has been 496 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 3: able to do with Georgia and what Sark is doing 497 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 3: at Texas. At Maryland, Locksley's done a really good job 498 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 3: of basically taking the Alabama blueprint and transforming that program. 499 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 3: He also has used what he learned from his time 500 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: with Ralph Fridgin up there. 501 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 2: But this is the French. 502 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like. 503 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 3: This team is good, man, and if Ohio State is sleepwalking, 504 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 3: they can get caught. This would be a great game 505 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 3: to watch because I'm waiting for on the Ohio State standpoint, 506 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 3: I'm waiting for Marvin Harrison Junior to remind us of 507 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 3: why we're so excited about his talents and what he 508 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 3: could do it anymore. 509 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: He got hurt too. That didn't help Buck. I'm looking 510 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: it up right now. So the from the official number 511 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: of scouting numbers on Talk, do I pronounce it Tali? Yeah, 512 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: Tako by law Okay, Tali It was five ten five, 513 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: so five ten and a half hundred and ninety seven pounds. 514 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: So I mean he's he's smaller, he's smaller than Tua, 515 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 1: but he's somebody that you know, you talk about production. 516 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: He's gotten better and he's been there for five years. 517 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: So one of those one of those nuggets we talked 518 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: about with guys, you know, having success at the next 519 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: level early on, it's guys that played a lot of ball. 520 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: Brock Perdy being the latest kind of example that this 521 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: guy's been around for a long. 522 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 2: He has been around for a long time. 523 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 3: Had to talk chance to talk to him, Michael Pennix, 524 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels all all this summer at Elite eleven, and 525 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 3: he just talked about handling the pressure, the dictations and 526 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 3: all the things that have been heaped on him being 527 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 3: the guy. But DJ, we've talked about with experience comes 528 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 3: a level of expertise and the fact he's a five 529 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 3: year player that he's been around the block a few times. 530 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 3: He has coaches around him that have also developed really 531 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 3: good quarterbacks. He's played well. He's been a game changer 532 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 3: for the Maryland program. This to me from a draft standpoint, man, 533 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 3: this might be the biggest game because he'll play. In 534 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 3: terms of us being able to see good on good 535 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 3: seeing against top competition. He plays well this weekend, Man, 536 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 3: they could do wonders for his NFL draft stock. 537 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: Back to Marvin Harrison Junior. He had an ankle, which 538 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,479 Speaker 1: he says is worse than the one he had last year, 539 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: but said it's good enough to play, so he'll play 540 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: in the games. 541 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 3: And I remember watching when he kind of rolled it 542 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 3: again versus Notre Dame, kind of just blocking. Somebody just 543 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 3: kind of rolled up on him. But man, he is 544 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 3: so good and they are so good on the perimeter. 545 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 3: It is such a great job with their wide receivers. 546 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 3: They make the game easy for the quarterback. Yeah, Maryland 547 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 3: would be interesting because the one thing we always talk 548 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 3: about when it comes to Maryland. We may not know 549 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 3: about the draft prospects this time of year, but man, 550 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 3: when it comes to the spring, they always going to 551 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 3: have some intriguing athletes. 552 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: This is a team that they can all run. 553 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 3: This is a team that has great athleticism and skill 554 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 3: throughout the program. It'd be good to see these two teams, squarel. 555 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 3: Let me get a high school update on a couple 556 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 3: other kids. Let's go Texas, Oklahoma. Just what you remember 557 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 3: of Quinn youwrs And what's your member of Dylan Gabriel 558 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 3: going through the process at all? Okay, I do remember 559 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 3: Quen Yours. Quen Yours was one of the quarterbacks that 560 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 3: we have and he had a lot of hype around him. 561 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 3: Remember he skipped I think his final season, Yeah, high school. 562 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 3: He went to Ohio State early early. 563 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, to be able to go. 564 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 3: And when you talk to the people at Texas in 565 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: high school, man, he's a legend. When I was around him, 566 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 3: I always worried about and look it's only seven or seven, 567 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 3: so it doesn't mean anything. Like I worried about his 568 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 3: ability to process things really quickly because in high school 569 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,239 Speaker 3: everything was so wide open for him. He had uh 570 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 3: look man, he has he had this cocky thing about him. 571 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 3: We had this long mullet back and the mullet long 572 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: hair that was part of his stick. And you wonder 573 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 3: what's really real now? I see a guy that is 574 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 3: really all business now and he is locked in Sarka 575 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 3: has done a really good job with him. He's playing 576 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 3: well and he hasn't flinched. I mean the fact that 577 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 3: they brought in other people at the position. 578 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 2: He still kind of. 579 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 3: Goes about his work, does this thing, not bothered by it. 580 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 3: And this Texas team, these I read some of the stuff. 581 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 3: It wasn't felting Bruce. 582 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: You see Bruce about how them being back. 583 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 2: Them being back. 584 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 3: People talk about how they move people around and toughness 585 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 3: and the physicality and and all of that. That went 586 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 3: against Alabama was really eye over him because they they 587 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 3: went right to the bully and hit the bully, writing 588 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 3: them out. This is the team that just really good. 589 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 3: I want to see though in there. I would say 590 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 3: in the first hype game that they'll have them against 591 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 3: their arrival. I want to see how they take care 592 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 3: of business against Oklahoma YEP. 593 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: And anything on Dylan Gabriel, he go through a lead 594 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: eleven or. 595 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 2: All he might have, but I didn't I can't remember 596 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:05,719 Speaker 2: because I didn't call. 597 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: He's fun to watch. He's I mean, I know how 598 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: that's going to all translate, but he's he's a fun 599 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: quarterback to watch. 600 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 2: I mean, look, he's a good player. He's been kind 601 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: of running around. 602 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: He's played forever too. 603 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 2: That I think that's the secret sauce. 604 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 3: I think right now, DJ, as much as everyone wants 605 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 3: to kind of fast forward and go through it, there's 606 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 3: some benefit to playing three four years in college, getting 607 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 3: a bunch of snaps, a bunch of starts. 608 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 2: Winning games. All that matters. 609 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 3: NFL scouts so kind of hip to the game because 610 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 3: the longer brock pretty continues to live in Cinderella's Last Slipper, 611 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 3: the more teams are gonna start look for a who's 612 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: the next one, Who's the next guy that has a 613 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 3: lot of experience, who has the knowledge and know how 614 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 3: to be able to guide a team to the win 615 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 3: a circle, where's the next one at who's going to 616 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 3: be the next experienced college player to be able to 617 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 3: kind of maybe surprise and develop into a franchise quarterback. 618 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: He's the this is his fifth year starting games, so 619 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean he's played a ton of football. Again, not 620 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: the biggest guy in the world, but he's very efficient. 621 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: He's very accurate. Start out at UCF and then is 622 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: at Oklahoma's done a nice job. I'm looking forward to 623 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: that game. It should be fun and I think it's 624 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: interesting if you look at you know, if you look 625 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: at things from like a USC's perspective, who have you know, 626 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: has the elitey lead elite quarterback in Caleb Williams. Texas 627 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: is an interesting example of they're not as good at 628 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: quarterback with Quinn you ors, he's good, but man, they 629 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: are dominant up front along the offensive line. The defensively 630 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: they've They've really made some strides up front as well. 631 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be the challenge for sc and 632 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: looking into the future when Kayleb Williams is gone. They're 633 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: not gonna have Kayleb Williams. Have a good player there. 634 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: They're always gonna have good quarterbacks with Lincoln Riley, but 635 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: they need to get better everywhere else around him. In 636 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: Texas has kind of built a fortress where they're not 637 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: gonna be as quarterback dependent maybe as some of these 638 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: other schools, because they're gonna be so good upfront. 639 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 3: It it has to benefit this sarcad and being able 640 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 3: to go to Alabama and see how it's done a 641 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 3: few different ways with saving you know, because you remember 642 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 3: like they did it. They were flashy and glitzy, and 643 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 3: they had all this stuff with Lane Kiffen. It changed 644 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 3: a little bit under Stark. It changed some of that 645 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 3: under Sark because Saving wanted a different style. I wanted 646 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 3: to kind of grind it a little bit and do 647 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 3: those things.
