1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal. I'll that for me.

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 2: I'm a man, I'm forty.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 3: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 3: be happy. You want to be happy for Dake Ato Steak?

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 3: Is that whoo whoom?

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: And Dan and Tie.

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 3: Hey everybody, it's yet another show. This one is called

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 3: only Homer Is Allowed. It's a reference to this from

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 3: The Simpsons. You're probably old enough to remember, but.

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: You let in Homer Clublet look, it has no homeers,

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: we're allowed to have one. I felt so left owed.

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: And so because we're doing deep dives on random teams

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 3: that we either love or we're just interested in, this week,

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: we're starting with Oregon. They just beat Washington. I throughout

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: the idea of doing a mid season check in with

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: how I'm feeling about Oregon, with how our guest Jeff

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: Schwartz is feeling about Oregon. Former Oregon offense of lineman,

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: longtime NFL offensive line and he now does work on

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 3: the radio, does work for the Action Network. So decided

20
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: that we are just going to box Tie out because

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 3: he is normally too professional to let me talk about

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: Oregon for too long. So with that, let's just or

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: just I am going to bring on, Jeff, Jeff, how's

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 3: life in Charlotte?

25
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: Life is good. Life is better when Oregon Football win

26
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: some games.

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 3: So it's fantastic, all right, So let's let's this is

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: what we're focusing on. So I guess let's start here

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: and rewind a little bit. How has Oregon looked in

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 3: comparison to your expectations going into the season. How they

31
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: looked and how have they performed as it relates to

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: what you were expecting?

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: Oh, they performed much better. I mean think we all

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: assume that Herbert was going to be good. Just what

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: extent was he going to be good? But the physicality,

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: in my opinion, is something that no one expected out

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: of this Orgon team. I think we thought eventually Mayo

38
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: Crystobaal would would bring that toughness to our team, but

39
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: not as quickly as it happened, and not as kind

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: of as much of a bully as I think people

41
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: have seen this play so far.

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: And this is probably the most you know, physical is

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: kind of a weird term because all have all offensive line.

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: All trench play is inherently physical, but the degree to

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: which Oregon is relying on plays between the tackles, I

46
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: would say is surprising that when something even moderately works,

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: they just repeat it. They're they're depending on an offensive

48
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: line that really, coming into the season was thought of

49
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: as a strength. But the depth and degree to which

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 3: they're they're relying on this is that it's such a surprise.

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: Well, I agree, I mean they are definitely relying on

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 2: it a lot. I mean they ran on the ball

53
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: forty six times. I think against Washington, I went through thirty.

54
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: You know, we saw against Stanford really a big heavy

55
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: reliance to the run game. And they're very simple. Man,

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: They're just bludging you to death. They don't care. Four

57
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: yard carries, three yard, seven yard carries, eight yard carries.

58
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: They're going to hit you over and over over again.

59
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: Eventually they'll break out that long run. It keeps a

60
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: defense off the field. But what's funny is that I

61
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: think if actually hinder Justin Herbert because when we watch

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: him play, Yeah, if he throws the ball two times

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: in a row, it doesn't feel very it doesn't happen

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: very often. That second throw often is like a bullet

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: like it's a very good throw, and it feels like

66
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: they need to let him throw more.

67
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: But you can't really, how do you.

68
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: How do you tell Mark crystal Ball to do anything

69
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: different because it's working right now.

70
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like it's in a good place, and

71
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: the perception is probably a little bit inflated because they

72
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: win that Washington game. You know, part of it is

73
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: luck and part of it is taking advantage of situations,

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: and that's you know, all football is taking advantage of

75
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: situations and capitalizing on stuff. Your point, I think is

76
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: well received on Justin Herbert. I don't think he has

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: the receivers nearly on the level that the offensive line

78
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: is performing, and I don't think he has the skill

79
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: talent general. I think the running backs are fine, but

80
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: I don't think in terms of looking back to you know,

81
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: Jonathan Stewart, Legarrett Blunt, Michael James, Kenyon Barner, you know

82
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: Royce Freeman. There there isn't that guy in the backfield.

83
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: And to me, it's almost like Mario Cristibal. I know

84
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: you're you're a healthy eater. And I've made this comparison before.

85
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: There's something about a chopped coach versus a top chef coach,

86
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: and Mario Cristobal with limited talent right now at places

87
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: I think is getting the most out of his ingredients.

88
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: Oh, I had one hundred percent agree with you here,

89
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: which I think is why it's very impressive what he's doing.

90
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: And you know, they have supposedly a top five class

91
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: right now, which Organ has never had.

92
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Who knows they end up there, but yeah, just.

93
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: Having the number one recruit in town against the Washington Huskies,

94
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: and he comes away.

95
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: From the game really excited about Oregon.

96
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: He even said something about how he might he might move,

97
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: He might move, you know, has a commitment date up.

98
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's all positive for Organ.

99
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it seems. I'm excited, Like honestly, I

100
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: I don't have huge, huge expectations. I think it's funny

101
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: to me that people use the word contender with the

102
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: playoff in Oregon because I think they have a ceiling.

103
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: I think the defense has a good chunk of a

104
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: way to go. I'm still not fully in on the secondary,

105
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: I'm not fully in on the pass rush, and maybe

106
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: it'll improve over the course of the season. The linebacking

107
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: corps is uneven, I would say, but again, this is

108
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: a PAC twelve. Like, who I guess scares you the most?

109
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: Is it at Washington State? Is it at Utah. Who's

110
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: the scariest team to you?

111
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 2: I kind of think it's Washington State this weekend, coming

112
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: off that big win, going to game day. I mean,

113
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: the video is already and the bus showed up yesterday.

114
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: It's ahem in Pullman right now, and they have the offense.

115
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: I think they can really bother Oregon. Utah to me,

116
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: while their offense is getting better and they're starting to

117
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: really do some things with Tyler Honey they should have

118
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: done from the beginning, they don't scare me as much

119
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 2: because offensively they can go, in my opinion, in the

120
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: big roles and you don't really you'ren't going to see

121
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: that as much with Washington States. I think Washington State

122
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: can score with Oregon where Utah can't.

123
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a style thing too. To me, like to

124
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: get Washington State and a wide open throw the ball

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: fifty times compared to what this sort of patience of

126
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: Washington it seems like a dramatic change it is.

127
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: And that's why I think the Washing State to me

128
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: is the toughest opponent because they don't face this air

129
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 2: ra anymore. It's not it's not as often in the

130
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: Pact twelve you know, Sunny Dice is not there anymore,

131
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: cal and you face more of the spread offenses, the

132
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: stuff you see every day in practice than you would

133
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: this air rate and guarded Minshew's playing such a high

134
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: level that you know, it's got to worry you a

135
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: little bit.

136
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: All right, I'm going to stay with the Oregon offense

137
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: just because that's that's received so much of the attention.

138
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: But something that is sort of concerning to me, and

139
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: you touched on this a little bit, is is this

140
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: the best situation for justin Herbert as it stands now?

141
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 3: Because he plays really well. He throws the ball really

142
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 3: well considering you know, the receiving the general receiving core

143
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: is not you know where Oregon was a few years ago.

144
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: What what are the sort of drawbacks of running the

145
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: style of offense at Oregon runs, which relies so heavily

146
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: on power.

147
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: Well, the drawbacks obviously are if you can't do it

148
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: that week, you might struggle, but then you have Herbert

149
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,679
Speaker 2: to fall back on. I think it's more just getting

150
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: Herbert in a rhythm, and it's tough to do when

151
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: you run the ball so much. And Herbert is such

152
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: a good quarterback that he can he can make plays

153
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: when he has to, and so I just I think

154
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: that that when you're playing a tough game, sometimes he

155
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: needs to score points. Sometimes running the ball is not

156
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: the best way to do it. I just worry at

157
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: times that Herbert is not going to have, you know,

158
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: the kind of rhythm he needs with his wide receivers.

159
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: You mentioned probably the least depth on the team is

160
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: a wide receiver. We saw again Stanford too, they got

161
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: really considered the second half, and then they started allowing

162
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: Herbert to throw the ball in the fourth quarter and

163
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: they started moving it again. So just being you know,

164
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: just being mindful of making sure Herbert's still it's enough

165
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: touches I can still stay active at quarterback.

166
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: What is it like? It's hard to ask this question.

167
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: You're not there but watching Oregon in the second half,

168
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: and there have been a number of schools with second

169
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: half issues. What what does it come down to when

170
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: you you look so good in the first half, as

171
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: you know Oregon does against Stanford, as Oregon does certainly

172
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: better than they looked in the second half against Washington.

173
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: Even last year against a pretty bad Nebraska team, they

174
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: get out to that huge I think they score forty

175
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: points in the first half and just barely hold on

176
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: what what generally is the diagnosis for why a team

177
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 3: suddenly just grounds to a halt.

178
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think what happens is when you have a

179
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: big lead like that, your natural inclination is to slow

180
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: the game down and just make sure that you know

181
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: that you take, you know, take time off the clock,

182
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: because you know the clock is basically your your biggest

183
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: your biggest.

184
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: Ally at that moment, right.

185
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: And so it happens is when you try to do that,

186
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: you limit your creativity and you're aggressive, that's on offense.

187
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: And then when you do that, it's hard to get

188
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: that back. It's hard to restart the engine once you've

189
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: cooled it off. And that's why I think that in

190
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: all these offenses, and we've seen it with you know,

191
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: West Virginia at times that really in the second half

192
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 2: just kind of sputter is because they you can see them,

193
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: they slowed down with big leads. It's hard to get

194
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: that thing back going. And I understand that the coaches

195
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: want to give their defense rest, they want to eat

196
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 2: time up right, you know, because if you score too quickly,

197
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: of course, it put your defense back on the field

198
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: and allows the other team to end up scoring.

199
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: So understand the inclination to want to do that.

200
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: I think it is a fine line between trying to

201
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: eat some of that clock and also making sure that

202
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: you stay at grass and scoring enough points.

203
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: How is it We've talked about, you know, as they

204
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 3: start and stop a sentence, but LSU for example against Georgia,

205
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: and I mentioned this a couple of times, it's almost

206
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: like an alley when the offense and defense are working together,

207
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: where the defense forces a turnover, offense quickly takes advantage.

208
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: Everybody's energized, everybody's on the same page. What is it

209
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: like being on the opposite side of the field when

210
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: your defense is just making huge plays? Or what is

211
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 3: it like when you know you're at Oregon and you

212
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: know you were there for Chip Kelly's first year as

213
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 3: an offensive coordinator and you just go down on go

214
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: down the field and efficiently score. What is that that

215
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 3: push pull like with guys on the other side of

216
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: the ball.

217
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: Well, are you talking about what it's like?

218
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: You're saying, like, you know, for your own defense, Yeah, Like,

219
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: what is what was the Oregon defense like when you

220
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 3: and the Oregon offense was rolling. What is it like

221
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: on the sideline watching your own defense dominate.

222
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: You just get fired up because you understand that you

223
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: don't have to be perfect, and so I think what

224
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: happens is and I've played in some really poor offense

225
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: and see to be poor defense, especially in twenty fifteen

226
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 2: with the Giants, is Yeah, there's just a lot of

227
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: pressure to score every drive. I'm the Chiefs professional to

228
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: deal with this right now. You have to score every

229
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: drive because your defense can't stop anyone. So it just

230
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: puts the pressure on you to score. If you know

231
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: that your defense is playing well in a game, you

232
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 2: know it's fun. Obviously they have your defense get stops

233
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 2: and get great field position, which leads to easier opportunities

234
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: to score. But just knowing that if you have a

235
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: three and out or you have a bad play, the

236
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 2: defense will pick you up.

237
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: Do you think this is like, how does this sustain likes?

238
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 3: I think the obvious answer is that there's pressure to

239
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: recruit high level offensive lineman at a huge clip. Is

240
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 3: that the only real way is that the only real

241
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: concern if they can't do that.

242
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're doing a good job with

243
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: developing these guys too. It's a lot of it is coaching, right,

244
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: and we see that offense. So I do you think

245
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: is organ continues to get better, they're gonna start plucking

246
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: their coaches away, and you have to be able to

247
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: brand qualified coaches that they can do the job. Obviously,

248
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: your head coaches is a former offensive lineman offensive line coach,

249
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: so that position is probably handled well.

250
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: But you know, we know.

251
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: It's you know, someone gonna start calling for the assistance,

252
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 2: whether it's a Royo or or I mean, Marabell's the

253
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: name of the offensive line coach. Right, Teams are gonna

254
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: start calling for these guys trying to get them to

255
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: be the OC and head coach. So as a matter

256
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: of just making sure that they can bring in other

257
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 2: assistants they can be as good of the program as

258
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 2: these guys are.

259
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 3: Now, is it a transition? Is it a like a

260
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 3: severe transition? I guess to go from what Oregon had

261
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 3: been doing with a lot of sort of outside zone

262
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 3: getting guys who are two ninety instead of three thirty five.

263
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 3: What is the transition like between going from a more

264
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: wide open offense to you know, two and a half

265
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: downs out of every four downs you are going straight

266
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 3: at an opponent. What is that transition?

267
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure the guys up front enjoy it

268
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: because there's not as much right, not as much getting

269
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: back to line of scrimmage and trying to try to

270
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: stop the ball as quick as possible. It's a lot

271
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: of finishing guys downfield, and eventually that wears on teams.

272
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: Eventually.

273
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: You've seen the second half of games teams at times

274
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: against Oregon because you've been running at them all games.

275
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's much of an adjustment. I

276
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: think the guys front, especially really enjoy it to be

277
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: able to really get after guys. So I think it's

278
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: probably a positive development, and guys have really enjoyed.

279
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: It, so I am probably correct. And assuming you are

280
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: extremely high on Mario Cristobal and the potential of this program,

281
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: are they do you see them?

282
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 2: And I really and I really, I really haven't been

283
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: I guess up until the season started, and I obviously

284
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: saw the way he didn't look. He obviously did not

285
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: handle the Stanford game probably the way that that people

286
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 2: had wanted. But he's a good top Against Washington, I

287
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: wish he'd be more aggressive. I think it's gonna cost

288
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: organ at some point and his coaching career obviously maybe

289
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 2: this year maybe not so. But his recruiting I think,

290
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 2: to me and his energy have been something that I

291
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: think is most important right now. You know, they'll they'll

292
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: get the scheme down, they'll get the players in, but

293
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: just his energy is recruiting and the kids.

294
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: Really love him. A lot of positives for working program.

295
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 3: Did you imagine Orgon would be bringing in at least

296
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: as they are right now, a top five class to Eugene, Oregon.

297
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't think.

298
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: I don't think people realize how where and how or

299
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: people get to Orgon, Like that's not a recruiting hotbed.

300
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: I think people see our facilities and realize that they

301
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: think that, like we get five star recruits and we

302
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: do not so right, you know, Mariota winning the Heisman

303
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: was such a big deal obviously, and then bring in,

304
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 2: you know, a bunch of five star recruits would be

305
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: a new thing for us.

306
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it takes. If you are flying to Oregon from

307
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: anywhere basically outside of the West Coast and even parts

308
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: of the West Coast, you're probably flying to Portland, and

309
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,119
Speaker 3: that's a good what hour forty five.

310
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: To use me from the problem is from the airport's

311
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: far east of Portland, so by the time you get

312
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: out of the airport and down to Eugene's probably almost

313
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: two thirty.

314
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: It's incredible, it really is. So who what is your

315
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: final record for Oregon at this point? And I say

316
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: that saying Oregon's final record is probably going to be

317
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: better than they actually are because of that non conference schedule.

318
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: I could see them losing one more conference game. I

319
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: don't think they'd lose much more than that. I think

320
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: who win the rest of them? But if you look

321
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: at Utah and Washington State, it'd be pretty I mean,

322
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: if they get through both those games, they're a really

323
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: good team. And so I mean, if you look at

324
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: their schedule, those are probably the last two games that

325
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: could really be hiccups for them, and they can get

326
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: through those two road games, I mean, they could be

327
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: twelve and one. I think they would beat USC in

328
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: the South if they play in the Pacto Chenion, especially

329
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: they're undefeated, know, the last cost nine games a year

330
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: or whatever. So I really, I really like their chances

331
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: to be really good. And the question is do Serbert

332
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: come back next year?

333
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: What do you think they're going to be really good.

334
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: If he comes back. I mean, they're going to be

335
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: a favorite to make the playoff. I think if he

336
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: comes back, so his brother's coming to you Gene next year,

337
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: I would advise him to leave, but I kind of

338
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: think he's going to stay.

339
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: What do you think.

340
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: I think he'll probably stay, although it's it's getting kind

341
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: of dicey when more and more people I don't think

342
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: it's a good quarterback class coming into the league this year.

343
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: You know, I just saw something where it was like

344
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones from Duke being the second best behind Herbert.

345
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Yahoo are right.

346
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: And so that to me says he's a smart dude

347
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: and he knows that if he plays really well next year,

348
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: and that's he'll have his line in front of him,

349
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: you know, so will be a sophomore, his left tackle,

350
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: the receiving core will only be better with some incoming freshman.

351
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: The defense will only be deeper. I know the schedule

352
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: is a little bit trickier, but the guy he's from

353
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: ten minutes, he's like he's he grew up off of

354
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: MLK in Eugene, and so I think he comes back.

355
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: But you know, if I were advising I'd probably stay.

356
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: I'd probably say to leave, but it's it's hard to

357
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: Does he look ready to you?

358
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

359
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: I think he does, Okay from I mean from both

360
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: a physical and emotional standpoint. I think those are two

361
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: kind of separate issues.

362
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: I think I think he totally does.

363
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: What what is the what have you seen from him

364
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: specifically that you've said, okay, he has the ceiling to

365
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 3: be an immediately competent NFL quarterback.

366
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: Some of the throws he's made into coverages, you know,

367
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: from a pro style system. Right, he's dropping back in

368
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: the pocket.

369
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: You know that.

370
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 2: Even go back to Game one, that fourth and fifteen

371
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: throw he made for the touchdown. Go back to last game,

372
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: the touchdown.

373
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: On the run. He can do that as well.

374
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: He's got a canon of an army puts the ball

375
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 2: right where the wide receivers need to catch it. It

376
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 2: just feels very much like he can do everything that

377
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: a pro Scott would ask him to do.

378
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: All right, Jeff Schwart, thank you very much for your time.

379
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,479

385
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,720

386
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: we're going to be doing this more often, deep diving teams,

387
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: just checking in and seeing how we feel about teams,

388
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 3: maybe learning a little bit more than what we usually

389
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 3: just have time for on our normal schedule. So thanks

390
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,359
