Speaker 3: which to me is a win. I uh, I'm a

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 3: little bit sore from working out yesterday, but I got

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: to watch highlights of spring games and go back and

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: see what people think of where rosters are at, and

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: got to come up with an especially silly and nonsensical

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: theme for an off season show, Tye.

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: The juices are flowing, The juice is are full. And

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: we had our board meeting we did last night, so

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: we're recording the show a little bit early. This show

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: is going to play back for most of the general

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: public on Tuesday. We're recording this on Thursday. We had

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: the opportunity to meet with our board of trustees. It

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 1: was a productive meeting. I can't give too much away.

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: We will make some minutes from that call public because

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: folks on the Patreon obviously are very interested. But let's

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: just say a productive call, a spirited group of rebawlers

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: who had wisdom to impart on the show on college football,

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: on life in general. I was thrilled. It was a

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: great experience.

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: They have approved me as co host for our They've

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: rolled over my contract for another year, which was it

34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: was a close vote, it was, but I'm grateful that

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: I will be a board for the next year until

36
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: the next board meets exactly. And we also released funds

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: so that I can buy a new stool or a

38
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: new chair, because look, you go starting to be a

39
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: hunchback here, which isn't good.

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: It's insane given this current set up. A long way

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: to go as we build towards the college football season.

Speaker 1: Mini helmet. You've gotten till April to twenty third to

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: do just that mentioned earlier, the theme of this show. Yeah,

61
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned that you're excited about it. Correct, Yes, I

62
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: too am excited about this concept. It may not be

63
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: for everybody, yeah, but correct, But we're building to the

64
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: season and a big step on that journey is what

65
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: we call spring football. What we're doing right now, what

66
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: we're reading about on a weekly basis right now, as

67
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: we go through April, we are taking spring snapshots today,

68
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: we are talking about after these games, what seems to

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: be in focus, what seems to be still fairly blurry.

70
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: And on that note, Dan, let me turn the baton

71
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: over to you for a little bit more detail around

72
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: what is this show.

73
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially given the time of year and given the

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: movement across the sport with coaches and players, I think

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: it's almost a rarity that too much is in focus.

76
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: You're going to have your incumbent star quarterbacks, your Bryce Young's,

77
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: your CJ. Strouds, You'll have your Clemson defensive line where

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: it's just like, of course, it's completely in focus. What

79
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: the strength, where the experience, where the talent of this

80
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: team lies as a no brainer. But by and large,

81
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: this is a time when a lot is blurry. And

82
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: as soon as you use that word blurry, I said,

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: I know exactly where we're going this episode thematically that

84
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: will resonate with the youth of today, and that is

85
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: leaning into Puddle of MUD's blurry, which doesn't really have

86
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: to do with the focus as far as I can

87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: tell of college football team.

88
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: No, but no. Nonetheless, we will.

89
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: Talk about Puddle of Mud a little bit later because

90
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: we each research puddle of mud. Why I don't know.

91
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: I honestly have no clue why would we would research

92
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: puddle of mud. But especially of the teams that have

93
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: just had that already completed at the time of recording

94
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: their spring games or whatever they call that sort of

95
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: you know, the Garnet and Gold game whatever, there's still

96
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 3: a lot that is quite and we are going to

97
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: look at the open questions and haziness of a lot

98
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: of these teams they head into summer workouts and eventually

99
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: fall camp. The way that you wove that all together

100
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: was really thank you work of art, Dan, Thank you,

101
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: thank you. And again it's puddle of mud, not puddle. No,

102
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 3: not not that, not mud puddle, No, not ud puddle. Well,

103
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: thank you for laying that out there. We hope everyone

104
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: is excited for this show. I know we are and

105
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: on top of it. As we go through and discuss

106
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: a bunch of teams that had spring action, we are

107
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: also going to bring on Sam Khan of the Athletic Yes,

108
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: a self proclaimed texpert, he is a senior writer. He

109
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: covers all things Texas football and recruiting. Sam's going to

110
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: stop by and give us a little bit more wisdom

111
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 3: as it relates to Texas A and M.

112
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: Texas A and M one of those teams, really one

113
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: of those storylines we go into the twenty twenty two season,

114
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: maybe just on the weight of their recruiting. G ass alone,

115
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: the class that they reeled in was historic in nature,

116
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: and we're hopeful, I think, just as college football fans,

117
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: as people who cover the sport from afar that Jimbo

118
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Fisher can get things going. Maybe he can get a

119
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: little bit more offense going downfield. We'll find out what

120
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: Sam saw in that spring game. And if A and

121
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: M is legit or if it's a bunch of bluster

122
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: about nothing, I would argue, and I think you would

123
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: agree that Texas A and M situation and place in

124
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: the sport is wholly unique, wholly unique.

125
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: Why do you say that Texas A and M and

126
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: will get into it with Sam? I promise that they

127
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: behave spend, recruit carry themselves higher, fill a stadium like

128
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: expand like a traditional national power without the results. And

129
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: I don't say that. I know people think, oh Dan,

130
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: here's Dan hating on A and M.

131
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: Again.

132
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 3: We get a lot of comments like that, and I sure,

133
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: but it's not true, it's unique, right. It's a lot

134
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: of these schools that have whether it's Alabama, Ohio State, LSU,

135
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: that they have somewhat recently set a standard to set

136
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 3: expectations at a certain level, fair or not. Whereas Texas

137
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: A and M is setting a standard that they have

138
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: yet to meet, which is fascinating. And I think it's

139
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: only great if Texas A and M is a dominant

140
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: college football team moving forward. Because it's new, and that's it.

141
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: I hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold

142
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: on a new power. Continue when we get to the

143
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: Sam interview, Does this mean that we're switching the motif

144
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: of the show from puddle of MUD's blurry to want

145
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: to be by the Spice Girls. No, I want to

146
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: escape and move past the idea that I don't like

147
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: Texas A and M. I've been to College Station, I've

148
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: been to a game of Kyle Field. I had a

149
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: great time there. And again, a new power in the

150
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: sports is novelty, and I'm pro novelty. So I'm just

151
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: curious to talk to Sam and I think he has

152
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: been around the program recently and curious to hear him

153
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: way in on what he sees and hears Dan, what

154
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: team do you want to start out with first? Well,

155
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: you took some and I took some. Let's talk about

156
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: one of those powers. Let's talk about a team that

157
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 3: played in the playoff last year, which, considering the storyline

158
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 3: around their coach, considering the story of their line around

159
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: some of the emerging talent on the team, with the

160
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 3: upcoming draft, seems to hold at the top.

161
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: I think we should talk about Michigan to start things off.

162
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: How about that, Abe? Oh?

163
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: Interesting, No, we can go to Cincinnati next. We'll start

164
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: with the playoff teams that are on our list. Michigan

165
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 3: is a fascinating case study. Josh Gattis leaves from Miami,

166
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 3: I would saying Mike McEntyre Mike McDonald goes back back

167
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: to the NFL to the Ravens from from WinCE from

168
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 3: which from where he came originally. So they're replacing two

169
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: full time coordinators, one of which will be Matt Weiss.

170
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: Is Matt Weiss, who is a promotion from quarterbacks coach

171
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 3: as a new offensive coordinator. Co offensive coordinator was shown

172
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 3: more and then the new defensive coordinator comes in from Vanderbilt,

173
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: also via the Ravens in Jesse minter. It's been a

174
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: fascinating offseason. Jim Harbaugh, a legit finalist for the Vikings

175
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: job who did not get the Vikings job seemed to

176
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: badly and dearly want the Vikings job, is now back

177
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: to being dedicated and loyal as the Michigan head coach

178
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: after deeply wanting the Vikings head.

179
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: Go here, and here's what's interesting about that. Here's what's

180
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: interesting about that. Yeah, because we had said for a

181
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: while it seemed as if Horball was building towards this

182
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: move to the NFL to the extent where it came

183
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: out that he was telling recruits the entertaining it. Yeah,

184
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: and then the Vikings thing comes up. It appears he's

185
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: a finalist. Almost the second that the interview's over, he

186
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: starts talking about how he's going back to college. It

187
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: was a one time thing, right, Are we too believe

188
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: that it's a one time thing, because and look, I'm

189
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: not trying to throw cold water on Jim Harbaugh going

190
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: back to Michigan, building this thing up, getting back to

191
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship of the playoff, nothing like that.

192
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm excited at that mere notion that he is staying

193
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: and he's not another coach leaving for another job. I

194
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: love that, right, But there's a track record with this

195
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: guy that he gets nancy after he's been in a

196
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: place for too long. Prior to this Michigan gig, what

197
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: was it year four years that that was his longest

198
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: stint at any one institution, any one team. So I

199
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm fully buying in that Jim Harbaugh

200
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: is now suddenly a Michigan lifer. I am buying in

201
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: on this being a good thing for college football in Michigan. Yep,

202
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: in terms of what's in focus, what's not in focus,

203
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: Having a good InFocus head coaching situation, it's a net

204
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: positive for the sport. Yes, yes, no, it absolutely is.

205
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: And so Michigan is fascinating because for so long it

206
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: was a sort of ground and pounds strength to the

207
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: offense with okay but not amazing quarterbacks at the best,

208
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: at Michigan's best. Before last year, offensively, it was a

209
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: lot of success on the ground and playing that sort

210
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: of like mashing game, controlling the clock, everything like that,

211
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: and then dominating on defense with that Don Brown attacking defense.

212
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: And now things have shifted schematically on defense and too

213
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: much success last year, of course, punctuated by the Big

214
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: Ten championship game and the Ohio State win. I think

215
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: Michigan's fascinating. I think right now, when you look at

216
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: the strengths of the team, it's hard not to say,

217
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: given the change on defense, especially upfront with Aiden Hutchinson

218
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: and David o'jabo on their ways to the NFL, the

219
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: strength of the mission team right now, if we're to

220
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: believe that there should be somewhat seamless transitions at coordinator spots,

221
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: it's probably the emerging talent at skill positions on offense

222
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: right the guys who came on in different spots, Donovan

223
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: Edwards andrel Anthony on offense. I don't know if they

224
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: have an obvious powerback replacement for Hassan Haskins, but Caate

225
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: McNamara certainly good enough to get this team over the

226
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Iowa humps to the playoff. May not

227
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: have showed out against Georgia, but there's not too many

228
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: guys who really showed out against the twenty twenty one

229
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: Georgia defense, so I can excuse some of that. But

230
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: if there is anything that Michigan was lacking last year,

231
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: it was the depth of talent level to compete with

232
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: the best of the sport. Now with offensive bodies emerging,

233
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: there's a new freshman who performed well in the spring game,

234
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: Darius Clemens, a bigger receiver. The tight end group looks

235
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: very very good. Offensive line will see but I feel

236
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: decent about them, and there is talent on defense. There's

237
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: for sure talent on defense, especially young talent in that secondary.

238
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: We'll see how the guys are who are replacing that

239
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: unbelievable tandem at defensive end. But if you're a Michigan fan,

240
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: knowing that Ohio State will improve this year from some

241
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: of the depths to which they fell on certain areas

242
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: on certain saturdays last year, I still think if you

243
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: are a believer in Harbaugh's renewed focus, which I'm not

244
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: fully there yet, but I can understand why Michigan people

245
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: would be because you know, moved on whatever. This has

246
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: to be seen as a ten plus win program right now,

247
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: and so that the snapshot of them in spring, especially

248
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: with more options on offense in terms of speed, in

249
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: terms of talent than they've probably had since Harbaugh arrived,

250
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: you probably have getting Ronnie Bell back at receiver. I

251
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: just I think you gotta be pretty damn excited if

252
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: you're a Michigan fan right now. I think that's fair. Yeah,

253
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean gosh, to have the kind of season that

254
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: they had, to know that you got your coach back.

255
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: Of course, there's turnover in some key spots. That's pretty

256
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: much the case for all the big programs. But you know,

257
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: to finally get over that hump, I think is a

258
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: pretty big deal. So if you're a Michigan fan, if

259
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: you're somebody just a college football fan and maybe doesn't

260
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: have a dog in the fight, I think what you're

261
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: hoping for is that getting over the hump now propels

262
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: them forward and leads to greater heights. I know that

263
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: was always at least the theory for Notre Dame. I

264
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: don't know if that truly happened, but we'll see. For Michigan.

265
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see what twenty two it's holds in store.

266
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: The big thing is star power for me. For Michigan,

267
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: it's the star power of the ad rushers and even

268
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: just in the back end with Dax Hill and how

269
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: all over the place he was. I'm extremely confident that

270
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: they will have very good players. But that's not good

271
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: enough right now, given that Michigan is in the present

272
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: tense a playoff program, So it's the star power thing.

273
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: Are they developing those guys to take over games at

274
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 3: various position groups? Why don't we do Cincinnati?

275
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: Since that's why I love you were talking about playoff program,

276
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: Another playoff program. Yeah, the Cincinnati Bearcats. Cincinnati Bearcats in

277
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: an interesting spot now, especially given the turnover on that roster,

278
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: especially on defense. One of the things that jumped out

279
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: to me just in doing some of the research on

280
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: these guys. They opened the year at Arkansas. Yeah, great,

281
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: which is a great opening week matchup. Maybe not for

282
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: a team that's replacing quarterback what to all Americans their

283
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: defensive backfield, my Jay Sanders along the line, They're going

284
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: to have their work cut out for them for sure

285
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: this coming season. And I think that was sort of

286
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: by takeaway. If we are trying to frame this conversation

287
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: in terms of what's in focus and what's blurry, really,

288
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: for me, what's most in focus, thank you, thank you,

289
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: thank of course, always what's most in focus is actually

290
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: the blurry stuff. Interesting. I don't know if we've got

291
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: any real hard answers to any of these questions, let

292
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: me start there. Okay, first and foremost, des Ritter is

293
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: going to be a draft pick. We talked to Nate

294
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: Tice about it. Nate Tice seems to like des Ritter

295
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: an awful lot. Des Ridder was there for a while.

296
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: He was a successful quarterback, but now he's gone, which

297
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: means that they've got to replace that position. It seems

298
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: as if the job is Evan Prater's to look Okay,

299
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: Evan Prater only through eleven passes last season, two touchdowns,

300
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: but eleven passes five to eleven in total. So des

301
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: Ritter walks out, you're gonna turn it over one way

302
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: or another to somebody who doesn't have a whole lot

303
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: of experience. Seems like it's going to be Praterer. Could

304
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: also be Ben Bryant. But if I'm putting money on anybody,

305
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: I think I'm putting that money on Evan Prater right now.

306
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: Look fine, in the spring game, you know, not really

307
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: anything to report back one way or the other. But

308
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: it seems as if it's probably his job to lose offensively.

309
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: Though offensively outside of you know, a couple moments at

310
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: running back where there were long runs outside of I

311
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: think a nice showing at tight end. The offense to me,

312
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: remains a huge point of contention going into the season

313
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: because they lose des Ritter, because it lose Jerome fort right,

314
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: there's just a loot to replace there. And especially when

315
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: you've got a week one game against team Mike Arkansas,

316
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: which we know is going to be loaded. That's a problem.

317
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: That's a problem that looks like a big fat l

318
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: to me. On top of that, what goes on on

319
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: defense is actually a little bit more troubling. So not

320
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: only are you losing what could be a first round

321
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: talent and des Ridder, you're also losing Sauce Gardner.

322
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: Did you see, by the way, Bruce Feldman what he

323
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 3: talked about, uh with Sauce Gardner and his opposing coaches

324
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: evaluate draft prospects. He said, and I quote this is

325
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 3: an opposing coach about Sauce Gardner. We just decided to

326
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 3: put some slaptick receiver on that side of the field

327
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: because we knew we weren't even gonna go near him,

328
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 3: so we just threw that side of the field away offensively.

329
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 3: It's a pretty great compliment. It's a great compliment. It

330
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: really is a great compliment. And one of the things

331
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: that made Sauce Gardeners so unique is his size. Sis

332
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: a bigger cornerback, He's like six'. Three you just don't.

333
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: Have that kind of flexibility generally if you're bigger, bodied

334
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: and his ability to move like that at the cornerback

335
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: spot is gonna make him a commodity on draft. Day

336
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: it just. Is and certainly in the college game he

337
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: was as the coach, eluded you could throw to him really.

338
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: Good so not only do you Lose Sauce, gardener but

339
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: you also Lose Kobe bryant in the. Secondary, now for their,

340
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: part there were guys that stepped. Up Ur Kwan BUSH i,

341
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: believe a senior stepped up IN i think impressive enough

342
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,239
Speaker 1: capacity in the spring game On Sauce gardener's side of the,

343
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: Field Kobe bryant's side of the. Field Justin, harris a younger,

344
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: Guy Todd, bumfiss also stepped. Up so it seems as

345
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: if they have, guys and we know That Luke fickle

346
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: has done a lot to build depth In, cincinnati so

347
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: it's not like the cupboard is curably. Bare but to

348
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: have those two guys walk out the door, too again

349
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: a pair of All americans in the defensive backfield to

350
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: walk out the, door there's going to be a bit

351
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: of a learning. Curve and then on top of, it

352
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: you've Got sanders walking out the door along your defensive.

353
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: Line the pass rush is going to suffer a little.

354
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: Bit mm. Hmm it's just going to suffer a little.

355
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: Bit SO i think with all that being, said the

356
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: takeaway on The cincinnati side was that the defense actually

357
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: played pretty well in the spring, game for whatever that's. Worth,

358
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: right looked, okay seemed. PROMISING i think there's room to,

359
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: grow certainly with some of these new offensive, players be

360
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: it at tight, end skill positions or. Otherwise quarterback's going

361
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: to remain blurry until we actually see the live bullets.

362
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: Flying thank, you thank. You and the only real takeaway

363
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: outside of all of those really blurry things is that

364
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: they've got a transfer kicker Named Ryan coe From delaware

365
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: who is six three to two twenty and hit a

366
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: forty eight yardfield. Goal hey that's. Good six, three two,

367
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: Twenty so he's Like Sauce gardener sized at.

368
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 3: Kicker, yeah and he looked.

369
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: Ok keckle And Luke fickel had some nice things to

370
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: say about him about the tough positions he could find himself.

371
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: In it's good to have a guy like that at

372
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: the kicker. Spot but you, know as with all Things spring,

373
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: games it's tough to really gauge because it's inner squad.

374
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: Scrimmage but the, questions at least in The cincinnati, SIDE

375
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: i don't know if we're any closer to answering, them

376
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: but at least we started to get the first part

377
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: of that answer, through you, know early part of.

378
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: Spring here the good news For cincinnati and this is

379
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 3: not a part of. Spring what sort of a part of?

380
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 3: Spring is the full list of teams in The american

381
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: who appear to be kind of scary in twenty twenty.

382
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: Two there it. Is there's the. List there's the full,

383
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: list the full of teams that are threatening at this,

384
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 3: point obviously threatening to Supplant cincinnati atop The. American so,

385
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 3: yes you can obviously lose To houston and lose the,

386
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 3: conference But cincinnati is recruited and has coached in such

387
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: a way where they're in a good. Spot lost their offensive, coordinator,

388
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 3: Right Mike denbrock TO. Lsu but, Yeah Evan prater well,

389
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 3: REGARDED i think four star kid coming out of high,

390
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: school big tall, guy so hopefully the falloff is minimal on.

391
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: Offense give, me give me like three and a half

392
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: four minutes on The arizona. Schools that's it and a.

393
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: HALF i want to go deep on TO tyroa, McMillan

394
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 3: probably like the best receiver on a likely terrible.

395
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: Team, well you said you watched the HIGHLIGHTS i did

396
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: from THE asu game and it weren't. Great, Yeah, like

397
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: just give me the rundown on the stage BECAUSE i

398
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: care about The Territorial, cup.

399
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: Dude arizona is so much more interesting Than Arizona. State

400
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 3: SO asu is in a tough. Place they started a

401
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: walk on at quarterback in This they had a transfer From,

402
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 3: Alabama Paul, tyson Who's Bear BRYAN'S i think. Grandson but

403
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: they started a walk on who was, fine he's local To.

404
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 3: Arizona the strength of This Arizona state team is likely

405
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 3: to be upfront on. Defense they man handled the offensive,

406
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 3: line And i'm not really you, know quick to say, like,

407
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 3: oh this is like the clear strength of the. Team

408
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: when teams are split, up, right like you can look at, like,

409
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: oh the offensive line is going to. Struggle they're all

410
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 3: beat up and you, know the starting unit was not,

411
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 3: together so it's hard to really gauge on, that but

412
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 3: both sides of the offensive lines really really looked bad

413
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: and just allowed dudes into the backfield. Constantly SO i

414
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: think the strength will probably be The Sun devil's upfront on.

415
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 3: Defense some of the skill talent on offense is still pretty.

416
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 3: INTERESTING i think can still play to a reasonably HIGH

417
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 3: pac twelve. Level the problem to me is if you

418
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: have enormous question marks at well depth everywhere quarterback and offensive,

419
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 3: line it almost doesn't. Matter they were a sensational rushing

420
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: team last year with those two dudes led By Rashad

421
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 3: white now onto THE, nfl and they don't have the

422
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: line to be. That they don't have the quarterback to

423
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 3: take advantage of. That With Jayden daniels. Leaving there's interesting

424
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 3: younger guys on the, defense BUT i just think they're

425
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: too thin and to one note to really make any

426
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 3: sort of quantifiable noise in the conference at this. Point and,

427
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: look they've since twenty, fifteen they've been a five hundred

428
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: ish team with more, talent with a deeper, roster and

429
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 3: now things are falling, apart and SO i don't feel great.

430
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: Here here's one of the things that jumps off the

431
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: page at. You all, right, YEAH i didn't do the

432
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: deep dive OF, asu but we've been following what's going

433
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: on with that. Program how it feels like to some,

434
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: extent it's coming apart at the. Scenes, right. Yep are

435
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: you familiar with the website our lads dot? Com of,

436

Speaker 1: anybody who covers college, football anybody who care about college,

438
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: football because they do all the depth charts, months, weeks

439
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: sometimes years in. Advance, okay it's just what they. Do

440
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: it's not always, accurate but it's close. Enough it gives

441
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: you a. Gauge they've got on THE asu page a color,

442
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: code as they do all roster. Pages it says purple

443
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,920

Speaker 1: know agreed, ME i can't even read this, thing.

445
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 3: But, okay they've got one here for.

446
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: Gold. Yeah if you see the text is in gold

447
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: means it's a new, addition a graduate transfer or a.

448
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: Freshman THE asu, Offense dan just the offense has, one, two, three, four,

449
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: five six players in. Gold all, right to your point

450
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: of not having great depth to your point of there

451
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: being roster, turnover to the point in general OF asu

452
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 1: feeling like it's bottoming. Out there is a lot of

453
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: new new talent on this offense. Alone and so as

454
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: we talked With Nate tice on our show a week

455
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: ago About Rashad white and perhaps what he could bring

456
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: to AN nfl roster and how we know he helped

457
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: carry THAT asu offense to an extent last. Year With

458
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: Jade daniels walking out the, door there are just so

459
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: many new, faces not even guys who are with the,

460
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: program guys who are brand new to the. Program i'm

461
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: not gonna say that it's never happened before where new

462
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: faces don't step in and have an immediate. Impact but

463
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: this many on one team making the first team does

464
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: not seem like a great formula for.

465
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: Success, no it's a bit of a misery cocktail coming

466
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: together In. TEMPE i, mean you have a late quarterback

467
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: transfer In jade And daniels ending up AT. Lsu you

468
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: have two new coordinators assistants dropping like. Flies you, know

469
00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: implicated in THE ncaa accusations about recruiting improprieties during twenty

470
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 3: and you know a good amount of roster turnover twelve

471
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 3: transfers out ten, in so they were aggressive at least

472
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 3: in the. Portal but, MAN i just it's hard to

473
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 3: it's hard to see things coming together to the point

474
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 3: of going seven and, five eight and, four which is

475
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: WHERE asu should.

476
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: Be at minimum most.

477
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: Years, NO i agree Other arizona school speaking of, transfers

478
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: nineteen transfers, out which doesn't feel like an alarm as

479
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: much as A this might not be the program for,

480
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: You Kevin sumlin recruit situation In, tucson but there appears

481
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 3: to be a lot of energy and a lot of

482
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 3: juice In. Tucson not a ton of, talent but improving

483
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: as As jedfish recruited especially well this, year both via

484
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 3: the portal and you know by a high school recruiting

485
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: and signing day THAT i. Mentioned the headline, RECRUIT i

486
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: think he's the Biggest arizona recruit in the history of the,

487
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 3: PROGRAM a top flight receiver from Southern california who's committed

488
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 3: To oregon for a long time, time but When Mario christabaal,

489
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: left he opened up his recruitment To. Toroa ted tyroa

490
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: TE tyroa, McMillan i'll get that right known AS, tmac

491
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 3: but they also bring In Jacob, cowing a top flight

492
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: receiver FROM. Utep smaller receiver but really really. Productive it's

493
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 3: looking like it's going to Be Jaden, dolaura who's the

494
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 3: other big name transfer who comes in From Washington state

495
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 3: at that starting quarterback. JOB i still have a number

496
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: of QUESTIONS i guess it appears to be blurry for

497
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: the parlance of this, episode about what the offensive line looks,

498
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 3: like WHAT i guess the back half of that defense

499
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: looks like at linebacker and, secondary and just what this

500
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 3: system looks like on offense with a pretty disasters showing

501
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty. One defensively is where they were. Strong

502
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: Don brown moves on, back goes goes back to UMass

503
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 3: and So Johnny nansen takes over the. DEFENSE i think

504
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: the talent level will be raised In. Tucson it seems

505
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 3: like there's a vacuum in the state Of arizona right

506
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 3: now with WHERE asu. Is but there just needs to

507
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: be more bold type players on this. Roster we'll see

508
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 3: they they you, know they hit USC u c L,

509
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 3: A michigan with some four star high school. Uh their

510
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 3: transfers from those schools that Were Blue chippers coming out

511
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 3: of high. School Hunter echols is a big name coming

512
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 3: off the edge For. Arizona so slowly but. Surely and

513
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 3: by the, way they gave away water guns to the

514
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 3: crowd to just make it a big water party of

515
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 3: a spring, game and there were like former players on the,

516
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 3: sidelines spring fans like it. Was the intention was that

517
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,560

Speaker 1: POSSIBLE i like.

521
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,040

522
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: better than one and. Eleven, yeah you'll take four in, eight, Right,

523
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,000

Speaker 1: On so let's. Go let's Go huskers. Here, well, look

547
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: this is going to be a very short. Snapshot oh,

548
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: okay here is WHAT i hate about these spring. Games

549
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: everybody tries to outdo one another by coming up with

550
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: a goofy Kakamemi byzantine scoring. System, yeah in this, case

551
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: it's one that favored the defense to the extent where

552
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: you couldn't really tell how good the offense. Was, now

553
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: there are scoring systems that are, bad and then there's

554
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: this one which was in. Effect and everyone's played in

555
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: a fantasy football league like this where the person running

556
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: the league gets a little overzealous about defensive stats and

557
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: what they're worth in your fantasy. League this is one

558
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: of those circumstances WHERE i don't know if It's Scott,

559
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: FROST i don't players d like Maybe Trev albert's got

560
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: involved with. THIS i don't know who is responsible for,

561
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: this but they got a little nuts with defensive. Stats

562
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: it's truly like the scoring system in the fantasy league

563
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: where THE i don't, know The bills get sixty points a.

564
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: Week that's what happened. Here that's what happened. Here so

565
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: our takeaways are. This our takeaways ARE. A nobody really got. Hurt,

566
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: mark he's step hobbled off at one. POINT i think he's.

567
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: Okay Maybe i'm. RIGHT i hope that's. GOOD i Hope

568
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: i'm not wrong about. That but, yeah they emerged, unscathed let's, say,

569
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: physically and, also the defensive line looked really.

570
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 3: GOOD i would say they should be good on the.

571
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: Edge once, again.

572
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: The defensive line LOOKED i, think really solid and really,

573
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: good and that was sort of a carryover from what

574
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: we saw last. Season right we, NOTED i think rightfully

575
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: that the offense had issues and they're still trying to

576
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: piece this thing together And Adrian martinez maybe not the,

577
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: answer and blah blah blah blah. Blah but defensively they looked. Okay,

578
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: defensively they they were able to keep themselves in games

579
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: because that side the ball actually was. Better so takeaway

580
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: in this game is that the defensive line actually looked pretty.

581
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: Good what is, blurry, though is pretty much so you

582
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: keep catching me off, guard AND i love. IT i,

583
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: KNOW i know that's the. Point What's blurry's pretty much everything? Else,

584
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: okay everything else is. Blurry they played like ten quarterbacks

585
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: in this. Game Case, thompson your presume, Starter Casey, thompson

586
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: The texas. Transfer he was in for three, drives he went,

587
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: through went for two punts and a field.

588
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 3: Goal, okay all, right but, Well scott chances did chub

589
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 3: A party get in?

590
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: There they got in, there. Everybody i'm Surprised scott for

591
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: us didn't get in. There, Yeah logan's smothers got seven.

592
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: Drives Chub A party got three. Drives that was just

593
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: in the first. HALF a whole bunch of other guys

594
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: got time in the second half as. Well, Yeah so

595
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: that position, GROUP i think in particular is we didn't

596
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: get a whole lot out of. It by the, way

597
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: we just. Didn't we. Didn't you, know we don't really

598
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: know much about. It logan's smothers had some, issues like

599
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: we just didn't see, enough and because of the weird scoring,

600
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: system we don't know enough to really gauge how anybody.

601
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: Did but What i'll say is, this we are going

602
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: to train our spotlight first and foremost on that quarterback,

603
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 1: spot if only BECAUSE i think that has held them

604
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: back the last couple of. Years everyone Likes Adrian. Martinez everyone, says,

605
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: oh it's a, great great, kid, Right we're gonna root

606
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: for him At Case. State, yeah BUT i think all

607
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks at this stage now are more talented

608
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: passers Than Adrian. Martinez and so this will be the

609
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: ultimate tell for Where Scott frost is. At if he

610
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: truly is this offensive mastermind that we thought he could

611
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: be in his time at other, stops NOTABLY, Ucf he's

612
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna need to find a way to turn presume Starter

613
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: Casey thompson into that quarterback who could throw the ball

614
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: downfield and actually get a little bit more out of this. Offense,

615

Speaker 1: attempted Coup, okay pretty, good. RIGHT i don't know what

639
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: the right classification is for whatever the hell went on

640
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: At auburn With Brian. Harson but he's still. There, yeah

641
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: he's still. There. Now the issue is this a lot

642
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: of players. Aren't, yes they had a lot they like twenty.

643
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: TRANSFERS i don't know what the final number ended up.

644
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: Being it's a lot of. GUYS a lot of guys

645
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: left The auburn. Program they brought some guys, into but

646
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: that maybe was the first tell that things were kind

647
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: of going sideways for a. While it Was Tank bigsby

648
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: who was also going to leave the. Program the best

649
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: recruiting job it's been said That Brian harson did all

650
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: off season was Keeping Tank bigsby At. Auburn, yeah And

651
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: Tank bigsby looked sharp in this. Game he. Did he

652
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: played more of a role in the passing. Game they

653
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: Asked Brian harson after the, fact like some of the

654
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: reporters on the, beat, like is this going to be a?

655
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: Thing are we going to see more Of Tank bigsby

656
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: in the passing? Game he sort of he threw cold

657
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: water on. It but conventional wisdom would hold that if

658
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: you've got your best, player In Tank, bigsby and if

659
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: he is open in the passing, game you'll find a

660
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: way to get in the. Ball they should find a

661
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: way to get him the ball as much as. Possible

662
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: SO i don't know if that's going to be part

663
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: of the. Plan they've got a new offensive, coordinator but

664
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: it should be part of the plan if it's not,

665
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: already because It's tank Bigs he's really freaking, good of,

666
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: course so he looked. Good THAT i think is as

667
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: big time positive the passing game as a. Whole So

668
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: Zach calzada still recovering from his shoulder. Injury he was

669
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: the big transfer IN i think he is the presumed.

670
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: Starter but we didn't get to see any Of calzada

671
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: in this. Game we did get to see more OF.

672
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 3: Tj, finley, right who did start and nearly Beat alabama

673
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 3: to whatever whatever that, means given the weirdness of that

674
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 3: game is something could have Beat bama on one leg

675
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 3: if they went for two and didn't likely, True.

676
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: But, YEAH. Tj findley looked more. Comfortable good look more.

677
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: Comfortable they had him more out of the, pocket they

678
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,959
Speaker 1: did more in the rollout passing. Game, good which as

679
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: anyone who has Followed auburn with a much, better much,

680
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: more much higher degree of granularity than, you AND i

681
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: will note that that's just not something they did last.

682
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: Year last year it was Bow nixt dropped. Back if

683
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: a guy's, open, Great if, not, siya he's pulling a

684
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: picket and he's gonna run one and. Done, yeah the

685
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: rollout pass the game isn't all that, Inventive, dan but

686
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: he'll take it. Right. Yeah, now what remains to be

687
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: seen is How Zach calzada will eventually function in this.

688
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: Offense that that's what remains. Blurry obviously he didn't get any.

689
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 1: Snaps so to what end is he going to fit

690
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: in and look the part and be worth all the?

691
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: HUBBUB i don't you. Know we don't. Know we just.

692
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 3: Don't is he considered like In auburn, circles like the

693
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 3: assumed starter that he that's a role that is being

694
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 3: warmed for?

695
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: Him, okay SO i think. So and again you know

696
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: WHERE i stand On. Calzata, Yeah i'm not totally convinced

697
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: that he's gonna better than what they had, before or

698
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: even an.

699
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: UPGRADE i THINK i think the best of Bow nicks

700
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 3: was more consistently uh, uh confidence inspiring than any LIKE i. Know,

701
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: Look Zack calzada made huge throws to help to Beat.

702
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: ALABAMA i get, that but the you, know the best

703
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 3: three or four games Of Bo nicks was definitely better

704
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 3: than the best three or four games Of zach Cals

705
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 3: odda to Make.

706
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: Zach calzada's win Over alabama is doing a lot of heavy. Lifting,

707
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: yes of course a lot as. Well it should mm,

708
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: hmm but tread lightly on that. One don't don't put

709
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 1: too many eggs in That zach kelzatda basket. Anyway that's

710
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 1: either here nor. There we didn't see. Him the OFFENSE

711
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: i think showed some flashes and folks were excited about,

712
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: that certainly with tank bigsby your Boy Robbie. Ashford, Dan,

713
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: yeah he showed out The oregon Transfer Robbie. Ashford he you,

714
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: KNOW i don't think he's gonna really be in the

715
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: mix Between calzada AND. Tj, Finley BUT i think he's From, alabama,

716
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: right he. Is he's.

717
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 3: Local it was a two sports. Star is is especially,

718
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 3: athletic perhaps in ways that the two of those guys are.

719
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: Not here's the, thing, Though, TY i didn't watch The

720
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 3: auburn spring. GAME i didn't read up on The auburn spring,

721
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 3: game so forgive my authority that has nothing behind. It

722
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: but if you're a promising, quarterback WHICH i Think Robbie

723
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: ashford is, promising not, proven what's ahead of him At

724
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 3: auburn is not all that. Secure like if you are

725
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 3: simply enticing athletically in a playmaker and you HAVE. Tj

726
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 3: finley And Zach calzada in front of, YOU i don't

727
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: think it's insane to think Maybe Robbie ashford is the

728
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 3: guy twelve.

729
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: Sixteen passing one hundred and thirty two. Yards he showed

730
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: some of that athleticism that you allude, to and he's

731
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: got a kin for an, arm got good. ARM i don't.

732
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: Know stranger things have, happened, man.

733
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 3: BUT i guess the same could be said of wasn't

734
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 3: good enough to beat Out Anthony brown last herefore, again

735
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: AND i don't think he was good enough to beat

736
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 3: out number two or number three behind, It Anthony. Brown

737
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 3: so there's that as.

738
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: Well the other thing that's very blurry on The auburn

739
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: side is, defense especially up. Front, yeah especially. Upfront so

740
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: there's not only a new offensive, coordinator there is a

741
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: new defensive. Coordinator Jef schmedding was the linebackers coach For

742
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: auburn last, season was the defensive coordinator For Brian harson

743
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: in his time At Boise. State he's got his work

744
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: cut out for. HIM i don't know how else to put.

745
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: It there is an issue with depth, upfront and as

746
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: we know from doing this for a good long, time

747
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: if you've got depth issues up front in THE sec on,

748
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: defense that's a. Problem, yeah that's a. Problem SO i

749
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: could go about a thousand different ways With auburn this coming. Season,

750
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: again it's a spring. Game there's only so much that

751
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 1: we could really glean from. This but the fact that

752
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: some of those depth issues and some of those production

753
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: concerns on that defensive, line we're already showing a little.

754
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: BIT i don't envy that defensive job That auburn's got

755
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: in front of it this coming. Season may they'll proved me,

756
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: wrong but, YEAH i, mean there was there was a.

757
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: Reason Nate tice last week on our show talked about

758
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: how What Derek mason was able to do with not

759
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: necessarily frontline talent was especially creative and interesting in the

760
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: way he attacked certain. Offenses Derek mason of, course now

761
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: on To Oklahoma. STATE i believe for a pay.

762
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 3: Cut, no there was just not maybe necessarily a behind

763
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 3: the scenes, fit is what it sounds. Like so, yeah you,

764
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 3: know three defensive coordinators in three years not ideal for

765
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 3: continuity and growth in a.

766
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: Scheme all, right let's go To let's go To Florida

767
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: state And. CLEMSON i believe we Have Florida state And,

768
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: clemson so two teams THAT i THINK i might be

769
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: more interested in this season than at any point in,

770
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: gosh maybe the last five, Years, dan maybe the last five.

771
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: Years because here's. Why here's, why before you jump, in

772
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: show your. Work clemson went ten and two last or

773
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: ten and three whatever it was last, year ten to,

774
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 1: two whatever their final record, was it won double digits

775
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: and they ten, THREE i believe ten to. Three they

776
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: pulled it, TOGETHER i think, admirably so mm. Hmm but

777
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: there were real questions about that, team Especially djus. Quarterback

778
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: they had a litany of injuries that they had to

779
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: deal with all year, long which didn't. Help there was

780
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: a lot of turnover from the year, before so they

781
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: were dealing with a bunch of, stuff and now on

782
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: top of, it the coaching staff, thing the athletic department.

783
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: Thing this is very much a reboot on a number

784
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: of different levels For Dabos. Swiney how will he handle

785
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: that he hasn't had to deal with that. Previously that's

786
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: the first, thing and that's the one thing For clemson

787
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: That i'm very interested. In on The Florida state, SIDE

788
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: i can't figure out what to make of The Mike

789
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: norvellira so. FAR i, like just when it feels like

790
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: the thing is, dead as it felt early in the,

791
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: season they kind of turn it around and they get

792
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: to the precipice of qualifying for A. BOWL i never

793
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: thought That Jordan travis would be the answer at, quarterback

794
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: but of the guys that they, had he seemed to

795
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: be the one with the most Promised so there's like,

796
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: REASON i think to feel like this team fights hard for.

797
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: Him but at the same, time there are plenty of

798
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: reasons to have him on the hot. Seat and this

799
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: is a pivotal year if you're A Florida state, fan

800
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: if you're watching Close Mike, Norvelleira.

801
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 3: Yeah there's a lot that's quite interesting About Florida state

802
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 3: on both sides of the. Ball, Obviously Jordan travis returns

803
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 3: and assumingly we'll take the next step and succeeding a

804
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 3: little bit more. Downfield obviously he is a playmaker and

805
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 3: a dual. Threat they're in good. Shape the running back

806
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 3: room looks to be in decent. Shape offensive line is

807
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 3: it keeps taking steps. Forward it's not the deepest offensive.

808
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 3: Line it's not the offensive line filled with the most

809
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 3: star power of the teams that we're going to talk

810
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 3: about in these spring snap. Shots but from where it

811
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 3: was a year, ago two years, ago three years, ago

812
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 3: which was just a downright and abject, mess it's not that.

813
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 3: Anymore it's. Okay so if there's continued improvement. There there's

814
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 3: experience in the receiver. ROOM i don't know if there

815
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 3: is top level star power in the receiving. Room but on,

816
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 3: DEFENSE i, mean defense is going to probably lead this.

817
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 3: Team they've recruited especially well on. Defense there's a lot

818
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 3: of talent on that defensive. Backfield it's gonna be a

819
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 3: question of doing the little things of you, know seeing

820
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 3: which recruits are the ones that are able to step

821
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 3: up and the acc is not a murderer's row at this.

822
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 3: Point but they had a couple of interesting transfers actually From, oregon.

823
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 3: Right Micah pittman comes in was a contributing part of

824
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 3: the a good receiving cour At. Oregon he comes in

825
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 3: with a lot of experience both at receiver and in

826
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 3: the return. Game Trey benson looks like he's gonna have

827
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 3: a pretty big impact in that running back. Room big

828
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 3: running back that should be able to take some of

829
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 3: the pressure off Of Jordan. Travis but there's there's good

830
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 3: options at running back as. Well and so For Florida

831
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: state at this, point they hit the portal extremely. Hard

832
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 3: that was a big deal to plug gaps through the.

833
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 3: Portal they brought in a pretty sizable edge rusher From. Albany,

834
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 3: Tye what do you know About albany? Football Jared? Verse Jared. Verse,

835
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 3: yes so they bring In Jared verse From, albany so

836
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 3: trying to get after the quarterback a little bit more

837
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 3: Via Jared. Verse, YEAH i think it's once, AGAIN i,

838
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 3: mean broken. Record but if the offensive line is simply

839
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 3: not talked, about that's a huge.

840
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: WIN i feel like we've been talking about The Florida

841
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: state offensive line like it's the one Hundred Years. War

842
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: it just never, ends and that's kind to be so

843
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: frustrating if you're A Florida state, fan if you're on the, team.

844
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 3: They're definitely a ball team If Jordan travis is upright and,

845
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 3: Look Alex atkins steps in For Kenny. Dillingham SO i

846
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 3: guess talking About oregon even more moves Onto oregon to

847
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 3: call plays and run that offense for The. Ducks Randy

848
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 3: shannon is now co defensive coordinator With Adam, fuller so

849
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 3: a lot of familiarity there with The state and the recruiting,

850
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 3: trail AND i Expect Florida state to continue to be

851
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 3: a player in the portal post spring as, well because

852
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 3: they are looking to infuse this roster with as much

853
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 3: experienced talent as as humanly possible in a pretty open

854
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 3: acc all things considered right, now because pitt is not

855
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 3: going to be where they were last year Without Mark

856
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 3: whipple And Kenny. Pickett SO i don't know we can

857
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 3: get Into clemson. Now But Florida, STATE i think is

858
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 3: in a decent place trajectory. WISE i Like Florida.

859
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: STATE i liked them last. YEAR i don't recall IF

860
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: i liked them to get to a bowl. GAME i

861
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: feel like it was still a little bit too. SOON

862
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: i feel like at the TIME i did the preview year,

863
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: AGO i was saying twenty twenty, two twenty twenty two

864
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: would be the. Year it would be the. Year SO

865
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: i don't, know we'll, See but given the way that

866
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: they overcame the early part of their season and actually

867
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: ended up playing a feisty brand of football down the,

868
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: STRETCH i think that that bodes well for the coaching,

869
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: staff Right, Yeah AND i know for whoever's.

870
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 3: In, Charge Alex atkins is especially well liked within that.

871
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 3: Program as he assends, TOO i mean STILL i think

872
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 3: running the offensive, line but offensive, coordinator AND i always

873
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 3: just have a soft spot for when offensive coordinators have

874
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 3: a line background about lines being especially improving and taught.

875
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 3: Well and so hopefully that's the case With atkins In Florida,

876
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 3: state BECAUSE i would love to not talk about The

877
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 3: Florida state.

878
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: Ohensive line this. Year, yeah it'd be. Wonderful tell me About.

879
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: Clemson what's going on?

880
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 3: With speaking of hoping to not talk about an offensive,

881
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 3: Line so unfair to talk about the offensive line as

882
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 3: a major issue from this spring, game even though the

883
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 3: defensive lines in this game completely dominated because both starting

884
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 3: tackles were out in this. One but you, know if

885
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 3: you polled one Hundred clemson fans about where they have fallen,

886
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 3: behind offensive line is still in that. Conversation the offensive

887
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 3: line For, clemson once a, strength once a point of,

888
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 3: pride was dominated far more often last year than they

889
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 3: had been in years past and was an issue opening

890
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 3: things up for the, offense opening up lanes in the

891
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 3: run game and Protecting. Dju it's a work in. Progress

892
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 3: this offense is a work in. Progress, obviously losing both

893
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 3: Coordinators Todd bates was a huge loss on. Defense as an,

894
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 3: assistant he goes over To oklahoma With Brent venables and

895
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 3: so a lot of change At. Clemson they lose ten

896
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 3: guys to, transfer bringing in but one transfer in In Hunter,

897
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 3: johnson who was already there and didn't make a huge

898
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 3: market quarterback At, northwestern of, course and So dju loses

899
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 3: a bunch of, weight which is one of my favorite.

900
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 3: Things you, know as far as offseason stories. GO i

901
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 3: don't know how losing weight helps in the passing, game

902
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: but if it's something that was part of him becoming

903
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 3: more fundamentally sound and really locking in to do a better,

904
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 3: Job i'm all for.

905
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: It i'm all for.

906
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 3: It still had some accuracy issues still with sailing balls

907
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 3: at times did connect a little. Bit, YEAH i don't

908
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 3: think the receiving room is as TANTALIZING i would say

909
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 3: as The clemson receiving room has been these past ten.

910
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 3: Years but only Guys Joe, nagata guys like, that you,

911
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 3: know have have had promise for quite some, time but

912
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 3: are yet to fully fully come through dealing with a

913
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 3: lot of injuries on both sides of the. Ball you,

914
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 3: KNOW i think the, secondary especially the youth of the,

915
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 3: secondary will be very interesting come. Fall you, know they

916
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 3: were dealing with injuries there as. Well Will shipley was.

917
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 3: Out so there's not a lot of. Absolutes there is

918
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 3: a lot that's very blurry so about This clemson.

1028
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,960

1029
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 2: DAY i don't think it's JUST i think every day

1030
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 2: From april twenty fifth all the way THROUGH i believe

1031
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 2: it is early Mid july up until media days. Basically

1032
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 2: so it is a lot of work and there's a

1033
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 2: lot of effort to put those together because we're going

1034
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 2: we go really, deep we go position by, position, recruiting coaching,

1035
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 2: changes the whole. Bit but the fans seem to like,

1036
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 2: them and, honestly for us and for me, personally it's

1037
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 2: tremendous preseason prep because every one of these THAT i

1038
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 2: do on a TEAM i feel LIKE i know that

1039
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,240
Speaker 2: team up and down the roster.

1040
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 3: Definitely, Okay so let let's start. There after spring. Practice

1041
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 3: we just had THE a AND m spring. Game what

1042
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 3: is the general feeling inside the football offices about where

1043
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 3: this team. STANDS i, mean we can go position by,

1044
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 3: position but generally, speaking what are the big questions that

1045
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 3: the coaches have and where are THE i guess the

1046
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 3: comforts that the coaches.

1047
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 1: Have, yeah a few.

1048
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 2: SPOTS i guess where your most, comfortable believe it or.

1049
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 2: NOT i think you're probably most comfortable in defensive. Line,

1050
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: okay because, yes they graduated all these great guys To Marvin,

1051
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 2: Leal jaden Peve Tyree. Johnson all these guys were super

1052
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 2: super productive last. Year but you guys know where they just,

1053
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 2: signed which they signed eight elite defensive linemen in this

1054
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 2: in this. Class but they also have been signing high

1055
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 2: level defensive lineman the last two three. Years and so

1056
00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 2: you've got a guy Like Fidel diggs who lashed really

1057
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 2: well in the spring. Game and then you've got A

1058
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 2: Shamar turner who was a five star in the previous,

1059
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 2: class who can play both of its tackle defensive. End

1060
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 2: so you have numbers there that's that's the. Spot you

1061
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,760
Speaker 2: feel really good, Cornerback you feel really really good running.

1062
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 2: Back you have one of the fastest guys in the,

1063
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 2: Country devon A, chain who is a national qualifier in

1064
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 2: the hundred meter. Dash you feel good about. That you

1065
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 2: feel good about the, option you have a. Receiver but,

1066
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 2: overall in the big picture of this, program the bottom line,

1067
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 2: is AND i asked us to jimbo, is do you

1068
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 2: feel like you have enough talent at this point in

1069
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 2: the building and the culture is where you want that

1070
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 2: buzzword culture that coaches always. Use are you at a

1071
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 2: place now where you can't annually contend for AN sec,

1072
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,439
Speaker 2: TITLE Sec west title And College football? Playoff and he, said,

1073
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 2: yeah that is that is the. Goal and we do

1074
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 2: feel like from a talent, standpoint the roster is. There

1075
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 2: he's got the infrastructure in the building the way he wants,

1076
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 2: It things are running the way he wants, it and

1077
00:56:58,480 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 2: so they are now a.

1078
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: Team.

1079
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 2: NOW i look at the schedule AND i think it's

1080
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 2: a tough. Schedule SO i don't know if this is

1081
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 2: the year to peg them AS Sec west champions or playoff.

1082
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 2: CONTENDER i think me, PERSONALLY i think it's a twenty

1083
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 2: three for them IS i think more of the. Year

1084
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 2: but you look at the talent that they have on

1085
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 2: hand the last four classes they've. Signed he's this now

1086
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 2: his fifth season that he's. Entering this is a program

1087
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,439
Speaker 2: that is moving in that direction to probably soon join

1088
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 2: the college football, elite just because just by your, talent to,

1089
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 2: me they're compiling enough talent to where they're gonna have

1090
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 2: to be in that conversation.

1091
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 3: Soon they're an interesting team and an interesting program because

1092
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 3: it's almost impossible to describe any position group or any

1093
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 3: important situation within the team without. Yeah But, yeah they're,

1094
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 3: talented but they haven't done.

1095
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: It.

1096
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,439
Speaker 3: Yeah Max johnson has won big, games but he's also

1097
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 3: looked shaky at. Times, Yeah Haines king won the, job

1098
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 3: but he hasn't. Played, yeah you, Know Connor wegman is all,

1099
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 3: everything but he's a. Freshman where are the biggest yeah

1100
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 3: butts at this, point as you now are, saying twenty

1101
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 3: twenty three is the, year but we're talking about the

1102
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. Season what are the question marks and

1103
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 3: how likely are they to be answered with any sort

1104
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 3: of speed early on in the. Season i'll love the

1105
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 3: way you put that BECAUSE i THINK i think twenty

1106
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 3: twenty two is a, yeah but year, yeah, essentially that

1107
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 3: is what this is BECAUSE i think they'll be a

1108
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 3: little bit better than they were a year, ago BUT

1109
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 3: i don't see them as a playoff. Team quarterback is a,

1110
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 3: spot that's a. Yeah but they're better than they were

1111
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 3: at quarterback a year ago because the. DEPTH i, mean

1112
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 3: they had two scholarship guys and one of them broke

1113
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 3: his leg in the second game of the.

1114
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 2: Year so right now you have three With Max johnson

1115
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 2: who has bona fide sec, starts which they had nobody

1116
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 2: in the room that had. That last. Year you Got

1117
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 2: king who won the starting, job and you Got Connor

1118
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 2: wagman who's a true freshman five star. Recruit but it's

1119
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 2: going to take, time and we know how jimbo, is

1120
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 2: we know how it takes time for quarterbacks that did

1121
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 2: just that, offense and it takes time for them to master.

1122
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 2: It so that's a. Yeah BUT i think they feel

1123
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: good at running. Back BUT i still WOULD i still

1124
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 2: am yeah butt on the depth there because the, guys you,

1125
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 2: Know Isaiah, SPILLER i feel like was an underappreciated guy.

1126
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 2: Nationally he was a reliable thousand yard guy every year for.

1127
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 2: Them he's not there. Anymore DEVON i THINK i have

1128
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 2: no problem thinking that he can carry the, Load but

1129
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 2: it's who's the next guy after? That Is Anayah smith

1130
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 2: going to be that guy that goes back and get

1131
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 2: some more carries because he's been a receiver really the last.

1132
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 2: Year is he going to be a factor in the

1133
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 2: backfield these? Receivers you Got smith the, yeah but is,

1134
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 2: okay who do you have on the outside to be

1135
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 2: a vertical threat to beat you down the? Field they

1136
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 2: haven't really had. That Demon demas was supposed to be that.

1137
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 2: Guy he's not on the team. Anymore Is Evan stewart

1138
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 2: the five star? Recruit that guy is some of these

1139
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 2: other freshmen that they're bringing. In are those possibilities the

1140
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 2: left side of the offensive, line that's a, Yeah but

1141
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 2: because you graduated your left, tackle you graduated your left.

1142
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 2: Guard you, Know Kenyon, Green Jamior johnson no longer, there

1143
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 2: so you've got to fill those two. SPOTS i think

1144
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 2: the rest of that line you, feel, okay you're, graduating

1145
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 2: sorry not, graduating but your tight ends going to the.

1146
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 2: Draft Jalen, widermeyer that's another. One you've got to answer that.

1147
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 2: Question is it going to Be Jake johnson the, Freshman

1148
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 2: is it going to be one of these other veterans

1149
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 2: that's been. Around are those guys dynamic enough to be

1150
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 2: What widermeyer? Was and then the other spot on, DEFENSE

1151
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 2: i think you feel good about numbers on defense. Linebackers

1152
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 2: the one WHERE i feel like is a little bit

1153
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 2: of question in terms of Thin you've got really good

1154
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 2: numbers at defensive. Line you've got really good numbers in

1155
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 2: the defensive backfield, linebacker even though they really only play

1156
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 2: two for the most. Part that's the one where they

1157
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 2: DON'T i think have a stalwart right. Now they don't

1158
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 2: have A Buddy, johnson they don't Have Aaron hansford who

1159
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 2: was last. Year these are all mostly unproven. Guys guys

1160
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 2: who have, played but they're, unproven AND i don't know

1161
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 2: that the depth there is quite what they want it to.

1162
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: Be, sam let me go, back IF i could for a,

1163
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,479
Speaker 1: second to the quarterback, spot because anything you read about

1164
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: The TEXAS a AND m spring, game it starts with

1165
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Thing Max johnson comes, Over dan said. Earlier

1166
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: you know he's been up and. Down he certainly had

1167
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: his moments thirteen of thirty. One in this, game he

1168
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 1: had two, touchdowns one of which went To Evan, stewart

1169
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: five star talent that you mentioned. Earlier it seemed as

1170
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: if Generally Max johnson had pretty good control of the,

1171
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: offense had a long, run WHICH i think people were

1172
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: pretty excited. About but Beyond Max, johnson WHO i think

1173
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: is going to get a lot of the press going

1174
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: into the new, season you've got The Haines king. Thing

1175
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: you've got The Connor wegman. Thing Haines, king as he,

1176
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: said won the job at the start of last, year got,

1177
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 1: hurt played in this, game didn't look all that. Great

1178
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: still showed that propensity for turnovers in the spring, game

1179
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: which is something that plagued him in that the one

1180
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 1: game we saw against Ken state where he threw through

1181
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: three picks right and then on The Connor wegman side a,

1182
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: FRESHMAN i think everybody's very excited About Connor. WEGMAN a

1183
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: lot has yet to be known About Connor, wegman but

1184
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: one of the things THAT i KNOW i liked from

1185
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: WHAT i saw was the fact that he threw down,

1186
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: fields like six of his seven completions went for more

1187
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: than ten. Yards something like. That in, general this was

1188
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: an offense that in this spring game threw downfield a

1189
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: little bit, more which is something THAT i Know jimbo

1190
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: has tried to address. Here SO i guess with regard

1191
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: to the guys Behind Max, johnson presumably Behind Max, johnson

1192
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: what is the early feel about how that sort of

1193
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: depth shakes out on the quarterback.

1194
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 2: SIDE i, mean, certainly LIKE i, said a lot better

1195
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 2: than was a year, ago which is huge for them

1196
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 2: because they really weren't a tenuous spot where they were

1197
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 2: had to play a walk on at times last, year

1198
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 2: especially when When calzada had like he had the injury

1199
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 2: in The alabama game and then he had to come

1200
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 2: out for a play or what have, you and you,

1201
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 2: had like boast to walk on who's still there by the,

1202
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 2: way having to play snaps and had that bowl, GAME

1203
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 2: i would have been interested to see how the bowl

1204
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 2: game would have turned, out because you Know knes wasn't

1205
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 2: all the way back And klzada had. Transferred But, max

1206
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 2: like you, said we've seen what he can. Do it'll

1207
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 2: be interesting to see what he can do in this.

1208
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 2: Offense Haines, KING i think is the interesting one to

1209
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 2: me in the wild card in this because he won

1210
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 2: the job last. Year jimbo clearly loves. HIM i think

1211
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 2: he loves. Him he calls him a. Throwback and When

1212
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 2: jimbo gives you the throwback, LABEL i meaning like you're

1213
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 2: a nineteen seventies, player that means he loves you to.

1214
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 2: Death so he Loves, haines And, haines by all accounts

1215
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: says even from last, year dating back to last, offseason

1216
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 2: did a really good job in ingratiating himself with the.

1217
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 2: Team you, know winning stuff in winter workouts on a regular,

1218
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 2: basis developing a relationship not just with his his teammates

1219
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 2: offensively but defensively as. Well he's got all those. Characteristics

1220
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 2: and his physical gifts are. Great, obviously can throw it

1221
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 2: sub four five forty guy really really super. Fast the biggest,

1222
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 2: question which is one you, pose is. Turnovers can he

1223
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 2: take care of the, Ball and he did turn it

1224
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 2: over in the spring, game AND i think that is

1225
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 2: the big question with him is can he take care

1226
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 2: of the ball. Better obviously that one start that we

1227
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 2: saw against Ken, state there was a few. Turnovers some

1228
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 2: of them were drop, passes balls at batt and stuff like.

1229
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 2: That AND i will give all the quarterbacks a little

1230
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 2: bit of a caveat for the spring game because the

1231
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 2: wins were like thirty thirty five miles an, hour so

1232
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 2: it was a little bit tough to. Throw but the

1233
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 2: reason and you talk About wegman throwing, Downfield jimbo tried

1234
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 2: to force that issue even with the. Wins was, Like,

1235
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 2: hey we're gonna throw downfield because this is we want

1236
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 2: to do this this. Year, yeah and SO i think

1237
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 2: that's fun to talk about in. SPRING i would like

1238
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 2: to see it if it actually happens in the. Fall

1239
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 2: so you've Got, haynes WHO i think is a, true

1240
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 2: true duel, threat AND i think if he ends up

1241
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 2: being a, Guy i'm curious to see what they do.

1242
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 2: OFFENSIVELY i think you can open up the offense a

1243
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 2: little bit because of what he can do with his.

1244
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 2: Legs and Then. WEGMAN i Love wegman as a. Prospect

1245
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 2: one of the Best texas high Schoolquarterbacks i've. Seen the

1246
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 2: way he can make things happen when he, freelances when

1247
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 2: he gets out of the pocket is really really. Special

1248
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 2: you said mentioned him throwing down the ball down the.

1249
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 2: Field really. Impressive he's a baseball, player you, know he

1250
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 2: can he can really throw it to dual sports. STAR

1251
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 2: i love, him BUT i Just i'm not in a

1252
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 2: place WHERE i think he's a factor in this. Race

1253
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 2: BUT i and still it's going to take me seeing

1254
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 2: it to believe it that a true freshman can start

1255
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 2: In Jimbo fisher's. OFFENSE i just think it's asking a

1256
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 2: lot and some of the things THAT i saw From

1257
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 2: wegman in the spring game is off a little bit,

1258
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 2: here an inch, there a half a split second, there

1259
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 2: and those are things that after four or five more,

1260
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 2: months a full off, season another full off season the,

1261
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 2: program by this time next, YEAR i think you're going

1262
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 2: to see the jump that he makes in next. Spring

1263
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 2: BUT i don't think IT'S i don't think he's there,

1264
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 2: yet AND i would be really really surprised if he

1265
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 2: did win the.

1266
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: Job we Mentioned Evan stewart's dame a couple times now.

1267
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 1: Again the five star receiver caught a thirty two YARD

1268
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: i want to, say touchdown pass in the spring game

1269
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: From Max. Johnson all the Commentary i've seen is that

1270
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,479
Speaker 1: he looked like a natural out, there which he would.

1271
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: Hope he's a five, star that sort of comes with the.

1272
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Territory But TEXAS a and m of course made a

1273
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: lot of hay in this recruiting, cycle given the nature

1274
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: of the recruiting class that it's signed the best all

1275
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: time outside Of Evan, stewart of some of the guys

1276
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: that maybe stepped on the field had an opportunity to

1277
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: showcase their. Talents what are some takeaways that you, Had

1278
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: like of the names that we saw out, there who

1279
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: are some guys that might have a chance to make

1280
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: an impact?

1281
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 2: Early, YEAH i mean of the of the young offensive

1282
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 2: players you mean the young offensive recreer either Or sam

1283
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: either Or, YEAH i mean so of young guys THAT

1284
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 2: i think that stand out to me as instant impact.

1285
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 2: GUYS i Think Jake, johnson who intioned, earlier tied. End

1286
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 2: he was banged, up so you didn't see him in

1287
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 2: the spring, game but he seems to be like a

1288
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 2: guy that will probably play fairly, quickly SO i look

1289
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 2: at him as One Evan, Stewart like you, said he

1290
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 2: was OFFENSIVE mvp during spring ball for, them which for

1291
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 2: a true, freshman you got to give him. Credit i'm

1292
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 2: really curious he's not on campus, yet BUT i would

1293
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 2: like to See when we talked about that running back

1294
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 2: Dev Le'Veon moss the running back From. Louisiana that was

1295
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 2: a big get for. Them you, Know Maury daniels did

1296
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 2: well arrange. Cronovers the other guys did. Well But i'm

1297
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 2: curious to see What moss looks like when he gets on.

1298
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 2: Campus and then on, Defense Anthony, lucas who was the

1299
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 2: freshman defensive lineman defensive. END i just standing next to that,

1300
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 2: KID i was just, Like, wow he's an impressive athletic

1301
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 2: specimen six, five three, hundred really really moved well in

1302
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 2: the spring. Game and to, me SO i look at,

1303
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 2: him he was and he wasn't even one of the

1304
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:20,919
Speaker 2: five star. LINEMAN i think he was a high four,

1305
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 2: star top fifty, guy which by the, way is still pretty.

1306
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 2: Good but THEN i think to, MYSELF i look At

1307
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 2: Anthony lucas And i'm, Like, okay all these other guys

1308
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 2: are coming in in the. Fall Walter nolan's coming in the.

1309
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 2: Fall Ei white's coming in the. Fall you've got a

1310
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 2: ton of big time other defensive linemen who are still

1311
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 2: not on campus. Yet the only two freshmen Are gabriel

1312
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 2: Brownlow dindi's the other who's been out because he was

1313
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 2: injured during An All star. Game so he's been out the,

1314
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 2: Spring BUT i look at those defensive, Linemen i'm thinking to,

1315
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 2: myself combined with the young ones that they bring, back

1316
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 2: the competition in that room is going to be really

1317
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 2: really something to. Watch the practices with, THOSE i think

1318
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 2: are going to be some of the fly on the

1319
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 2: wall for when you see some of these defensive linemen

1320
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 2: get in the. Building But lucas looks to me like

1321
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 2: an early contributor out of that. Class you, KNOW i

1322
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 2: was talking To jimbo. Today he really really Likes Cam,

1323
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 2: duberry the offensive lineman from A, taskasita as a guy

1324
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 2: who could potentially step in. EARLY i think it's LIKE i,

1325
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 2: said he's not on campus shed you got to see

1326
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 2: how he looks when he gets. There but definitely likes

1327
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 2: the measurables and the ability he has to play both

1328
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 2: guard and. Tackle So Smoke booey From, georgia that's another

1329
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 2: one that he really. Liked Bryce anderson From westbrook to

1330
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 2: the safety that he made some plays in the spring.

1331
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 2: Game safety type he. SHADOWS i Think Demani richardon said

1332
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 2: that he's shadow on him around a. Lot and So

1333
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 2: bryce is a GUY i think he probably contributes fairly.

1334
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 2: Early so there's a lot to. Say, LIGHTLY i think

1335
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 2: you're at least looking at a half a, dozen eight

1336
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 2: of eight guys in this, class, WELL i think at

1337
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 2: minimum that are going to contribute right.

1338
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 1: Away Incredible and whether on the too deep or.

1339
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 3: In some form or fashion on the, field did you

1340
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 3: get any, sense because, god it must have been rough

1341
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:04,759
Speaker 3: to be AN a AND m fan last?

1342
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: Fall did you.

1343
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 3: Get a sense the way in WHICH a AND m

1344
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 3: lost last? Year right that the offense just is not

1345
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 3: at all in The arkansas game at. All they they

1346
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 3: give up a safety to lose The Mississippi state game

1347
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 3: as they're trying to drive the, Field devin H chain

1348
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 3: rushes for nine yards of carry and they stop giving

1349
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 3: him the. Ball in the old miss, game they're. UP

1350
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 3: i still need to be explained, that, yes same, Same

1351
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 3: YEAH lsu two.

1352
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 2: That happened IN. Lsu by the, way he had that

1353
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 2: drive in the third. Quarter, yeah where had he touched

1354
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 2: the ball like six? Times and then they scored a

1355
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 2: touchdown and then he did not touch the ball again.

1356
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: The rest of the.

1357
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:42,640
Speaker 2: NIGHT i still need to be explained why that happened.

1358
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 3: Up up FOR i think with the opportunity to ice

1359
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 3: THAT lsu game with a couple of minutes left with

1360
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 3: a third and two and then give up the long

1361
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 3: drive to lose that. Game so is there introspection about

1362
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 3: situational play, calling the way the offense is. Organized it's

1363
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 3: easy to Say Zach calzatta was the quarterback and that

1364
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 3: ham strung our ability to do certain, things AND i

1365
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 3: think that's a totally fair. Viewpoint but is there any

1366
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,680
Speaker 3: sort of introspection about how the offense is?

1367
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 2: HANDLED i sure hope, so, yeah for their sake because

1368
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 2: and this is the, question And jimbo got this question

1369
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 2: a lot after games last, year was why did you

1370
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 2: not run the ball more down the? Stretch and a

1371
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,719
Speaker 2: lot of it was he defaulted took that he's calling

1372
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 2: a lot of RPOs and so that is leaving the

1373
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 2: decision on your quarterback to call. It and my thing

1374
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 2: is is and hopefully this is SOMETHING i can get

1375
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 2: into him a little bit as we get further closer

1376
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 2: to the, season is my thing, is why don't you

1377
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 2: just like line up in the pistol and just hand it,

1378
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:45,639
Speaker 2: off turn around and hand it off to a chain forget?

1379
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 2: RPOs like there's sometimes where you just have To AND

1380
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 2: i Think jimbo's track record is a guy who really

1381
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 2: does believe in running the running the. Ball BUT i

1382
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 2: have noticed in some of these. Games you, know there

1383
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 2: was times Where Zach calesido was throwing the ball forty,

1384
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 2: times and that's it's not your best offensive, weapon, Right

1385
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 2: it just. Wasn't and so that is Something i'm curious

1386
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 2: to know how much of that evolves or. Changes AND

1387
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 2: i THINK i wonder also how much that goes back

1388
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 2: a little bit to the what we're talking about earlier

1389
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 2: With Ania. Smith how much is a Nice smith involved

1390
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 2: in this? Backfield do you go back to using him

1391
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 2: the Way San francisco forty nine ers used A Deebo

1392
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 2: samuel because they did that a couple of years ago

1393
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 2: With annias when he HAD i think forty carries and

1394
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 2: forty catches something or something or. Another so THAT i

1395
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 2: think if you get back to doing, that you can

1396
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 2: provide a little bit more balance in this in this.

1397
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 2: Offense but, yeah it's hard to say because the offensive

1398
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 2: staff is virtually the same. Everybody they have a new

1399
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 2: offensive line coach With Steve, dasio but everybody else is in.

1400
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 2: Place off the cornerator, Still Dearrel Dickey jimbo still the play.

1401
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,679
Speaker 2: CALLER i went and listened To jimbo at a, clinic

1402
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 2: The Lone Star clinic down, here in conversation a couple months,

1403
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 2: ago AND i, mean he's intelligent, guy and you know

1404
01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 2: he makes way more. Money he's a, Coach he's paid

1405
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 2: to do. This So I'm i'm not a play. Caller

1406
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 2: i'm not a, coach BUT i certainly would try to

1407
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 2: adjust IF i, could how Much i'm running the, ball

1408
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 2: especially when it's. WORKING i think that's the thing that's most.

1409
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 2: Frustrated it's not running the, ball it's getting away from

1410
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 2: it when it's. Working happened in The arkansas game, too

1411
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 2: And Isaiah spiller was, really really, good AND i don't

1412
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 2: think the last, quarter last eight minutes of the, GAME

1413
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 2: i don't think they ran the ball or at least

1414
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 2: not handed it to. Him and to, me that's something

1415
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 2: that's got to be. Fixed AND i think that's going

1416
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 2: to take some humility and some introspection On jimbo's part

1417
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 2: to fix this. Year my final, QUESTION i don't know

1418
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 2: what else you, Have, tie but we've touched on defensive.

1419
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 2: Players but there is a new defensive coordinator AND Dj.

1420
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 2: Durkin jimbo has been outspoken about we run a four

1421
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,000
Speaker 2: to two five, here this is the defense we run.

1422
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 2: Here Mike elco did a very good job running the

1423
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 2: four two five that we wanted to. Run and NOW

1424
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 2: Dj diurkin comes in and he's going to run what

1425
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 2: we want to. Run what is what is expected ABOUT

1426
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 2: dj durkins unique tweaks or influence on What TEXAS a

1427
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 2: AND m is already toing on an extremely successful. Level

1428
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 2: what is expected this fall and beyond about THE Dj

1429
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 2: dirkins seasoning to this. Defense, yeah AND i Think jimbo

1430
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 2: was aggressive with the way he framed that because also

1431
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 2: this is the personnel they, have correct and so they've

1432
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 2: really deep on the defensive. Line they're really deep in

1433
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 2: the defensive backfield and not so deep at. Linebackers SO

1434
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 2: i think that fits what you have and that's what

1435
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 2: you've recruited. To But DJ's got AND i think he's

1436
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,799
Speaker 2: softening a little bit on. It DJ's got a background

1437
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 2: in multiple fronts and has worked in multiple fronts over the,

1438
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 2: years has a pretty good. Reputation there has been In

1439
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 2: jimbo has mentioned that he has done a little bit

1440
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,640
Speaker 2: tweaking throughout the spring ball and adding a little bit

1441
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 2: of his own ideas and, twist which it's his. JOB i,

1442
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 2: Mean jimbo's got to run the. Offense it's not going

1443
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 2: to Be jimbo out there calling.

1444
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 1: Defenses so at.

1445
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 2: The end of the, day this Is DJ's, baby and

1446
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 2: ultimately it is going to have his stamp in his

1447
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 2: blueprint on. It but, yeah the alignment is going to

1448
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 2: be based on their strengths and personnel and that makes

1449
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 2: a whole ton of, sense and especially when you look

1450
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 2: in the, secondary they have a lot of is A

1451
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 2: nickel you, Know Antonio johnson was was a star At

1452
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 2: nickel last year and can be that. Again but if

1453
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 2: they want to move him, around and they have other

1454
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 2: options that they can do that with as. Well but, YEAH,

1455
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 2: DJ i think when you see some of the things

1456
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 2: that they did at Ole miss last, YEAR i think

1457
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,600
Speaker 2: you could see some of that trickling down from AN

1458
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 2: a AND m standpoint this year, too just because that's

1459
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 2: part of his background and he's been in this conference

1460
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 2: now for a couple of, years and he was in

1461
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,760
Speaker 2: it before back in his forth to, days so he's

1462
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 2: he knows what, works he knows what. Doesn't AND i

1463
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 2: think with a talent on, hand some of it's going

1464
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 2: to have to grow, up and a lot of it

1465
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 2: is going to be interesting because so many of these

1466
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 2: guys you're, young especially the guys up, front so there's

1467
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 2: gonna be some growing, PAINS i. Think but, OVERALL i

1468
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 2: don't have the feeling that it's going to be anything

1469
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 2: but what DJ's vision is just with obviously within What

1470
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 2: jimbo wants it to.

1483
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: senior Writer texpert covers college football recruiting in The Great

1484
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 1: state Of texas co host of The One True pod

1485
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: on The athletics family of podcasts as. WELL a AND

1486
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,760
Speaker 1: m very, INTERESTING i think to you AND i very

1487
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: interesting to all of college, football not just because of the,

1488
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 1: recruiting BUT i think the mere notion that they could

1489
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: serve as some sort of counterbalance or another, counterbalance let's,

1490
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:55,640
Speaker 1: say in the LOADED Sec, west notably To, alabama that,

1491
01:15:55,720 --> 01:16:00,679
Speaker 1: yeah that's just. Interesting that's just. Interesting and the recruiting

1492
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: class has been. Ridiculous Jimbo fisher has been there before

1493
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 1: on some level one a national, championship, right this is

1494
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 1: a guy who who knows how to. Coach so they

1495
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: made a serious, investment as you said at the top

1496
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: of the, show not just in, facilities but certainly With

1497
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 1: Jimbo fisher as. Well so if that ends up paying,

1498
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: dividends that could be a really interesting storyline here in twenty.

1499
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 3: TWO i, MEAN i THINK i speak for both of

1500
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 3: us and that one of the great joys of the

1501
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 3: sport is a. Breakthrough is when a team is hitting

1502
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 3: up against a, wall hitting up against a ceiling for whatever,

1503
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 3: reason making you, know annual mistakes that limits their, potential

1504
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 3: and then has a, year a magical year due to

1505
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 3: a number of factors we saw last year from a

1506
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 3: number of teams you, Know michigan probably most, notably and

1507
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 3: getting past The Ohio State. Wall the reasons Why TEXAS

1508
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 3: a AND m can't are growing fewer and, fewer and

1509
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 3: hopefully as a college football fan that pays off and

1510
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 3: we get a breakthrough from The aggies or a fall

1511
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 3: soon to be.

1512
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:06,759
