Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another episode of The Bus
Speaker 1: with the Boys Spring Tour. We are in ASU, but
Speaker 1: before we get started, we must talk to you about
Speaker 1: the most durable, reliable vehicle on the road, and that
Speaker 1: is Chevrolet. Chevrolet is a trusted company that has been
Speaker 1: innovating for the past one hundred years. Up to now,
Speaker 1: most electric vehicles have been either too expensive, too small,
Speaker 1: and too limited in.
Speaker 2: Capabilities for most people.
Speaker 1: Chevalle has committed to making EV's available for all Americans.
Speaker 1: There is a growing network of public charting stations. There
Speaker 1: are over nineteen hundred certified Chevy EV dealerships. Chevy has
Speaker 1: convenient ways to research and shop EV online. EV's for
Speaker 1: everyone everywhere. You guys need to looking to get one
Speaker 1: of those, They're bill like, Yeah, there's no question.
Speaker 2: You guys are some big gentlemen.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I want to apologize to you in advent.
Speaker 1: I know that you're on team Maroon. Actually that's the
Speaker 1: good way to start this. How do you feel knowing
Speaker 1: that you're walking to a game today, probably going to lose,
Speaker 1: But that's got to be a tough fee.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't ever go into a game thing
Speaker 4: I'm gonna lose. I'm gonna just I'm gonna just say
Speaker 4: that first and foremost. But going against my teammates, I'm
Speaker 4: just gonna make sure that I keep them healthy. So
Speaker 4: that's that's probably the main thing. I'll disagreed.
Speaker 1: I thought your other teammates on Team Gold and they
Speaker 1: are not focused on keeping people healthy.
Speaker 4: Well, they're also on the outside. They're not really in
Speaker 4: the box, like you know what I mean, if I come,
Speaker 4: if somebody come.
Speaker 2: Across the middle, Jalen, hey, they're gonna get kissed, you.
Speaker 4: Know, doing anything outrageous.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't go into no game thing we're
Speaker 2: gonna lose.
Speaker 1: So you never once in your life went to a
Speaker 1: football game and thought we're probably not gonna win.
Speaker 2: No play at Washington State, are you sure? Well, I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure.
Speaker 4: Even when I was there, I still didn't think we
Speaker 4: were gonna still gonna lose.
Speaker 2: So still optimistic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just competitive, right, I mean, yeah, seven and something.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Waitning Nebraska, I think so I transferred.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, there is a level in college
Speaker 1: when you play in college, Like when I went to
Speaker 1: Michigan and I was with Rich Rodriguez, and Bratty Hope.
Speaker 2: It was the darkest days in Michigan school history.
Speaker 1: Rich Ron oh Man wild Man, Well, I mean crazy,
Speaker 1: it wasn't really back then.
Speaker 2: I've never recruited by him out of high school to
Speaker 2: go to u of A.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and you didn't want to go there. No,
Speaker 1: that's fair, that is fair to is like that. But
Speaker 1: when you're in college, like you legit. Never I never
Speaker 1: once went into a game thinking we were gonna lose.
Speaker 1: Even looking back on it and seeing like the lack
Speaker 1: of talent. We had talent that other teams had, like
Speaker 1: Ohio State, even Michigan State back then, they had crazy talent.
Speaker 1: So it is one of those deals you never feel
Speaker 1: like you're going to lose. When he gets to the
Speaker 1: NFL and you get a little older, you can just
Speaker 1: kind of start to realize, hey, this seems a lot
Speaker 1: better than us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can see where, you can see where we
Speaker 5: could be exposed if you're not executing at the highest
Speaker 5: level you know what I mean, to like eliminate somebody
Speaker 5: from the game, or you know you can't this team's
Speaker 5: great in the red zone type of situation, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. Yeah, I was all for me it
Speaker 5: was just it was the one on one matchups out
Speaker 5: of the backfield. Anytime I felt like I would be
Speaker 5: isolated on the outside, you know, on the perimeter, it's
Speaker 5: when my asshole got tight yea. And for me, as
Speaker 5: long as I could say outside of that, I felt alright,
Speaker 5: felt good about it.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about. Yes, I understand that feeling.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like especially if you got somebody like say Sakuon
Speaker 4: bark out.
Speaker 5: Bro, he loves coach Lovesquon, and then they just yell
Speaker 5: at you like stay inside and you're just like, man, Bro,
Speaker 5: you don't understand that out here, But this motherfucker it's.
Speaker 4: Like okay, when you're on that field, you got the
Speaker 4: inside leverage and you see him breaking everything's telling you
Speaker 4: he's breaking out. But then he does some move that
Speaker 4: you're like, damn yeah in the middle of the playing
Speaker 4: like gotta recovery.
Speaker 1: When you guys get into a football game, they're like,
Speaker 1: what are the biggest levels of stress that you deal with?
Speaker 1: Is it is it the man the man coverage for you?
Speaker 1: Is it blocking? Like what do we what is the
Speaker 1: biggest thing that that affects us? Like we were like, fuck,
Speaker 1: I hope I don't mess up these couple of things,
Speaker 1: and then it'll be a good day, probably.
Speaker 6: For me blocking just because you know, I grew up
Speaker 6: being a receiver, so I never really had to do it.
Speaker 6: And then coming here said change on mind, so like
Speaker 6: I had to change my whole mindsets. Like you know,
Speaker 6: I remember last year I d big Dn was giving
Speaker 6: me the work at first yeast Lie.
Speaker 3: We almost came back. We had a very slow start,
Speaker 3: we got a very solo start, but we always came
Speaker 3: back at.
Speaker 2: Then very slow start.
Speaker 1: Man, So what made you what made you transfer from
Speaker 1: Washington State to here?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I graduated and I had the choice to either
Speaker 4: stay or leave. And uh, there were some trust issues
Speaker 4: that I had with some of the coaches at the
Speaker 4: other place. But this coaching staff that Delingham brought in
Speaker 4: a lot of the coaches that I knew at Washington,
Speaker 4: Like a couple of the defensive coordinators came over here.
Speaker 4: So Coach Coop and Coach Ward, those were my guys
Speaker 4: that honestly would tell me the truth in my game.
Speaker 4: And truth was a big thing for me, especially with
Speaker 4: coaches because I've seen coaches Moore's family, So when your
Speaker 4: family member lies to you kind of see them a
Speaker 4: little bit differently, you know. So the biggest reason why
Speaker 4: I came was because of that truth aspect, and I
Speaker 4: know I was going to get something real, Like they
Speaker 4: were going to tell me something that wasn't just some
Speaker 4: stuff to tell me so I can end up staying,
Speaker 4: but they were going to tell me the truth, and
Speaker 4: that's why I chose here.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jail, and you have a you're a podcaster. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 5: I see you got a show going on. Talk to
Speaker 5: us about that a little bit.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I'm a like a journalism majors. So it
Speaker 6: was kind of time I always wanted to get into.
Speaker 6: I never really had the resources to do so until
Speaker 6: I reached out wait on the podcast for like Phoenix,
Speaker 6: pH and X and they're like, hey, you're really good
Speaker 6: at this and I was like thank you, and they're like,
Speaker 6: would you ever like want to host your owners like
Speaker 6: I've always wanted to. I mean I've always watched y'all
Speaker 6: and the Kelsey Brothers and Pat McAfee, So that was
Speaker 6: kind of like my mind that going into I want
Speaker 6: to do something similar to that, but obviously from a
Speaker 6: college perspective, that is playing every week and that you know,
Speaker 6: like even if like you lose a game on Saturday
Speaker 6: and you gotta come on Wednesday and talk about it,
Speaker 6: like you just gotta be it's real life. It's like
Speaker 6: that was the something I thought'd be cool to get
Speaker 6: a little different perspective, and it's been successful so far.
Speaker 2: Have you liked it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been super fun.
Speaker 6: It's like it's funny because it's like it's not like
Speaker 6: an interview anymore. It's just talking like you're having a
Speaker 6: conversation with cameras in front of you. So I think
Speaker 6: that was the biggest difference for me at first, Like
Speaker 6: the first one was very like robotic, and you know,
Speaker 6: I was almost like reading off a script. And then
Speaker 6: finally it got more normal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get guys like.
Speaker 4: Trey Brown on we get to talk about this And
Speaker 4: he also said on one of his podcasts that he
Speaker 4: was being able to guard.
Speaker 6: And because I will I played dB in high school.
Speaker 6: You're not faster than me. Actually it's close. I'll cover
Speaker 6: you if you're.
Speaker 1: Waiver a little bit like you sound it when he said,
Speaker 1: oh shit, he's faster him and then.
Speaker 3: Turns it fast.
Speaker 6: But if I get my hands on if I get
Speaker 6: my hands on.
Speaker 2: Right way, we could get a one on one line
Speaker 2: up today.
Speaker 3: We've been telling coach Dilly, we need it.
Speaker 2: We were waiting they going to today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, we can make that happen.
Speaker 2: Let me know, the head coaches, let me know.
Speaker 3: I'm ready.
Speaker 2: We'll call it, you know after the chorus, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, you're ready.
Speaker 2: The middle, Yeah, I'm talking to the middle on the
Speaker 2: house high.
Speaker 6: You're not getting inside and then you're definitely not catching
Speaker 6: a fade and you're not getting by me.
Speaker 3: It's like, what are you gonna do? What are you
Speaker 3: gonna do?
Speaker 2: We'll find out right out.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying right this coach said, Okay, let it
Speaker 6: happen real see.
Speaker 1: Going back to your podcast real Quick, you said it
Speaker 1: was robotic at first and then started to get feel
Speaker 1: more and more normal. When did you feel that like
Speaker 1: transitioning happened. How many episodes are you done?
Speaker 3: Also done? Three? So I just had.
Speaker 6: I did one by myself and then the other one
Speaker 6: was with my co host and then that dally on
Speaker 6: the third one. I think I think the second one
Speaker 6: was where I started to feel it, but the third
Speaker 6: one where like it was really just a conversation with
Speaker 6: me and Coach Dellingham and stuff, and it was very normal.
Speaker 6: We talked about a bunch of fun stuff, you know,
Speaker 6: we got into like some hot takes. He talked about,
Speaker 6: you know, start bitch cutting people. Like we just did
Speaker 6: fun stuff like that, and I think that was where
Speaker 6: it got more normal for me, as in, like, hey man,
Speaker 6: this is just fun, like to have a little conversation,
Speaker 6: you know, stir up a little stirrup a little bit,
Speaker 6: nothing like professional or anything.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it is there is like having those bits
Speaker 1: like start bench cut, like those things are always fun
Speaker 1: things to go into.
Speaker 2: We do like tiar talk and not a never really
Speaker 2: shout it.
Speaker 1: It's like a fun way to kind of move from
Speaker 1: conversation to like your own weekly thing that everybody can
Speaker 1: kind of join into.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think at first it's funny because it's like transitioning,
Speaker 6: like you start a topic and then like I always
Speaker 6: wanted to be like, oh yeah, next topic, Like you
Speaker 6: don't got to say that. It's just like you know,
Speaker 6: getting into just having a normal conversation talking just like
Speaker 6: yeah fluid.
Speaker 3: So that's the biggest thing for me. But I got it.
Speaker 2: Now, how long do you want to keep it going.
Speaker 6: I want to go as long as I can. It's
Speaker 6: every week so far has been more and more views.
Speaker 6: So like that's why I think the coolest part is
Speaker 6: I'm starting to I'm going to start having a lot
Speaker 6: of my teammates song, especially with spring ball being over,
Speaker 6: is talking about fun stuff, talking about hooping, golfing like
Speaker 6: stuff like that, because we all, you know, we all
Speaker 6: find stuff to go do outside uh football, like once
Speaker 6: it's over during springball. So I want to keep it going.
Speaker 6: Obviously going to the NFL, like, I'd love to keep
Speaker 6: it going there, you know, hopefully maybe compete you all
Speaker 6: a little bit for views, maybe a little bit, just
Speaker 6: a little bit, a little bit behind, a little bit,
Speaker 6: a little bit a little bit. But I know y'all
Speaker 6: got a lot of yours.
Speaker 1: In this podcast where you start off so confident and
Speaker 1: then you kind of but you know, we don't got
Speaker 1: to it's not it's not.
Speaker 2: The you know, there's so many eyes and the ears
Speaker 2: out there. The gold what did you say, that's a
Speaker 2: gold thing? Yeah, playing the egg games early, don't even
Speaker 2: buy into that.
Speaker 3: We'll just play ball is exactly. Well, we already talked
Speaker 3: about it all week. You're ready talk some ship.
Speaker 2: Well, let you guys handle it on the field.
Speaker 5: Deal would be you keep it going, you get to
Speaker 5: the next level, and everything else it's still going and
Speaker 5: we just all collab on each other.
Speaker 3: Would be super fun, exactly.
Speaker 2: That is a thing too.
Speaker 1: I feel like the podcast world is not I mean,
Speaker 1: it can be competitive for other people. For us, it's
Speaker 1: like there's so many years people listening to multiple ones.
Speaker 1: It's how you're just die in the hell for one.
Speaker 1: I can keep moving forward.
Speaker 6: I think that's the coolest thing too. Is like a
Speaker 6: lot of them, Like even like between you, the Kelsey Russ,
Speaker 6: Pat McFee y'all, was like them three.
Speaker 3: I watched the most.
Speaker 6: It's just like yard the same, but it's so different,
Speaker 6: Like you'll have the all the same groceations, but say
Speaker 6: it's different perspectives everything. So with mine, that's just why
Speaker 6: I try to keep like minds of players perspective. I'm
Speaker 6: twenty one years old and still in college. You know,
Speaker 6: a lot of people ask me questions like sometimes I'm like,
Speaker 6: I can't answer that right now, but when I get
Speaker 6: when I'm two years older in the league, I'll answer
Speaker 6: that question. But I think that's just the coolest thing
Speaker 6: is like you get a different tier level of perspective.
Speaker 1: It'll be fun to see like your mindset and how
Speaker 1: you think about things. Bial do you get in only
Speaker 1: little being able to come back and watch those first
Speaker 1: three episodes and how you view things then and maybe
Speaker 1: do this five ten years down the road you can
Speaker 1: look back and be like, man, I think way differently
Speaker 1: now than I did back then exactly. But y'all were
Speaker 1: bringing up you were talking about having the boys on
Speaker 1: and stuff doing outside of football, golf, hope all that,
Speaker 1: Like what is like the main selling point for you
Speaker 1: guys when it comes to ten pe Arizona getting other
Speaker 1: guys out here.
Speaker 6: For me, I think, like, first of all, you can't
Speaker 6: beat this weather like Colorado's was practicing like two weeks
Speaker 6: ago and thirty degree weather or whatever, Like we're it's
Speaker 6: literally like this all the time. Summer gets hot. But
Speaker 6: like obviously I think that's like an advantage we get,
Speaker 6: especially when the season comes around, just getting to work
Speaker 6: out in that and honestly, like y'all know, like who
Speaker 6: doesn't love tempy if you've been out that's those ten
Speaker 6: minutes way, That's all I gotta.
Speaker 4: Say, understand, Samby is a is a one of a
Speaker 4: kind place. I'd say that for sure, especially from from
Speaker 4: pum Yeah, where it's under ice and snow and sleep
Speaker 4: and all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were not in the same place. Man. It's
Speaker 2: a it's a culture shock.
Speaker 6: I think a lot of opportunities too, like the opportunities
Speaker 6: you can get outside of football around here, just with
Speaker 6: businesses and like getting like for me, like I got
Speaker 6: to start a podcast ten minutes away from here in Phoenix,
Speaker 6: So I think just in terms of that and you know,
Speaker 6: getting to be around like certain people and just hearing
Speaker 6: like everyone what they have to say and stuff is
Speaker 6: like you get hold you can get our podcast, you
Speaker 6: can you know, you can start working for a company,
Speaker 6: like I know a lot of guys that have jobs
Speaker 6: set up already after here that they're going to start
Speaker 6: living here for the next ten years. So I think
Speaker 6: that's one of the coolest things about It's just like
Speaker 6: the metro kind of area about it.
Speaker 5: Trey, what are you looking to accomplish this year that
Speaker 5: you transferred? You got to kind of go hit the portal,
Speaker 5: go wherever you wanted to go. What do you individually
Speaker 5: looking to accomplish?
Speaker 4: Uh, mainly just being the best version of me. Like
Speaker 4: the individual accolades, all that stuff is good, but I
Speaker 4: just want to be the best man. I want to
Speaker 4: be the most dominant me. I want to be a
Speaker 4: leader that everybody looks up to. I want to be
Speaker 4: a captain that people know if I'm speaking on something,
Speaker 4: it means something, and vice versa. I'm just looking to
Speaker 4: be that teammate that everybody has, that loves and have
Speaker 4: like that passion for the game, you know, So really
Speaker 4: just being the best version of me. You know, all
Speaker 4: the statistics and all that stuff will come with the game,
Speaker 4: but really just looking to be in the best version
Speaker 4: of me.
Speaker 5: When what kind of weaknesses do you see that you
Speaker 5: have that you want to work.
Speaker 4: On, I'd say out in the space obviously, like like
Speaker 4: we talked about earlier, if we had to guard somebody
Speaker 4: like Manna, we had to guard somebody like yeah, if
Speaker 4: we had to guard somebody man on man out in
Speaker 4: the apex or you know, just something like that in
Speaker 4: different coverages, that'll be something that I'm like, I'm always
Speaker 4: working on, especially like right now in the spring, and
Speaker 4: really that I mean, I'd say that's pretty much it.
Speaker 2: If I can be more roc C.
Speaker 4: If I can be a better coach to you know,
Speaker 4: other guys that have been on other defense as well,
Speaker 4: I can improve there too.
Speaker 5: So it always just check Rat. Yeah on the inside.
Speaker 5: I mean they leave the box, check Rat bring it
Speaker 5: back in. What do you think, coach Dilly? Yeah, that's
Speaker 5: a great idea.
Speaker 2: That's a good idea. That's a good idea. What do
Speaker 2: you guys see the expectation for this season?
Speaker 6: Shoot Rose Bowl? For sure, at the least, I'd be
Speaker 6: serious when I say it's like last year. You know,
Speaker 6: obviously we're in a weird situation with coaching, you know,
Speaker 6: stuff like that, But like we were a really good team.
Speaker 6: I think obviously there were some pieces missing, and you know,
Speaker 6: we you know, we just had to deal with a
Speaker 6: little bit of adversity. But I'm not kid when I
Speaker 6: say this, like coach Dellingham brought in, like already brought
Speaker 6: in a culture that's way different and that you know,
Speaker 6: I've been a ou and I've been here for two
Speaker 6: years or two different coaches, and it's just way different.
Speaker 6: This team is more together than I've ever seen any
Speaker 6: team together. I think we genuinely have a chance to
Speaker 6: go do that. I mean We were in games last
Speaker 6: year where you know, we'd be Washington and they were
Speaker 6: one win away from the playoff. You know, we were
Speaker 6: in the game with you as see, you know till
Speaker 6: about the third quarter. I think we can hang with
Speaker 6: those guys, and you know, with the new pieces we
Speaker 6: have in the offense and the defense, you know that
Speaker 6: we're gonna be able to bring out I seriously think
Speaker 6: we have a chance to do something specially here.
Speaker 2: What do you think is done differently culture wise?
Speaker 5: Being Oklahoma, being two eight coaches here states a lot
Speaker 5: of different teams, more together than any team you've been on.
Speaker 2: What's what what makes it difference?
Speaker 6: I think the biggest thing is just like getting the
Speaker 6: players like to do what you know, like it's player
Speaker 6: led at the end of the day, Like coaches are
Speaker 6: gorivy here and they're gona tell you what to do
Speaker 6: at the end of the day.
Speaker 3: Like if the players are not together, then like it's
Speaker 3: not gonna mean anything.
Speaker 6: I think, you know, us just even being outside going
Speaker 6: to do stuff together is being around each other or
Speaker 6: like you know, just having like little events in here,
Speaker 6: doing team camp, you know where we're going like for
Speaker 6: the same thing. Like I think a lot of it was,
Speaker 6: you know, I think something there was individual based stuff before,
Speaker 6: like when you know previous teams I've been on, which
Speaker 6: you know, obviously some people are gonna be like that
Speaker 6: in general everywhere you go. But I think here, you know,
Speaker 6: it's very it's way less, and I think a lot
Speaker 6: of it is like, hey, like, if we're gonna win,
Speaker 6: we got to be successful and we got to work hard.
Speaker 6: Like his motto is, we got to be the hardest
Speaker 6: working team in the country, but we gotta have fun,
Speaker 6: like we're gonna have fun doing it.
Speaker 3: So I think we take that motto and we just
Speaker 3: run with it.
Speaker 6: You know, if you've seen our practices and everything, you
Speaker 6: know it's it's super fun, but it's super high paced,
Speaker 6: it's super physical. So you know, if we got told
Speaker 6: you know, the team down south isn't working as hard
Speaker 6: as we are, and you know isn't physical as us.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna keep that mantra going. So love that.
Speaker 2: Boys.
Speaker 1: We I think we're right on in fifteen minutes right now,
Speaker 1: Do you have any more questions before we want to
Speaker 1: hang this thing up? Hey, I appreciate it, and y hey, Dylla,
Speaker 1: you're doing a great job. Out here, buddy, Like, this
Speaker 1: is different is that guy?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: He really is that guy down he'd just be saying
Speaker 2: that because we're in his office.
Speaker 3: Yeah you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, he just walked in, so you know, or
Speaker 6: he's he's a genuine college seriously, there you go.
Speaker 3: It's just really his dream job.
Speaker 6: Like I remember the first time we talked to him,
Speaker 6: like he literally came in there, kicked the shoes off
Speaker 6: and yelling, screaming, crying, like telling us like, this is
Speaker 6: my dream job. I want to get done here. He
Speaker 6: told us yesterday like he doesn't want to go. He
Speaker 6: doesn't want to win here and then go somewhere else.
Speaker 6: He wants to build something here. So yeah, we believe
Speaker 6: in that.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: That is ours.
Speaker 1: Has always subscribed rate five stars, Big hugs, Pinny kisses,
Speaker 1: h m hm
