  Speaker 2: I appreciate you jumping in. One of the things Rod
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: told me, he said with Missisippi Sports Medicine, he said,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: is it just me or does Tyson look different this
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: year in a better way? I mean, he's always looked good.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I said, he looks like a big ten running back.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what you guys have been doing,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: but men, your kids look real good right now.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, he does.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Or he works hard in the weight room obviously you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: really good trainer who takes care of of him, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and Tyson is one of those, no matter how long
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it is at practice or whatever, he's gonna go get
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: treatment afterwards and just make sure he's taking care of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: his body. I mean, he understands, you know that that's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a big part of it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they've told him about all that when he
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was up at Michigan and looked into all that. But
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: he's one of those that definitely takes care of his body,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: not just when he's with us, but twenty four to seven.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: And as a result, you see how he looks right now.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Absolutely how important has that become. I mean, you know
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: that's obviously has been in the NFL for a long time.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Colleges are doing it, but now high school athletes. For
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the guys to obviously you want him to practice well,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to work out well, but then to take time after practice.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's huge. And Steve,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the trainer here, does a really really phenomenal job.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You know, he makes sure they are not doing what
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they're not supposed to be doing as far as coming
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to seeing him when we're you know, film or wage
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: or something, but just as soon as after he stays
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: as long as they need, you know, they can get
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: there early and see him, and he has a great
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: room in there. To set up with anything they could
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: possibly need. And man, I think he does a phenomenal job.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I think he's top notch.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: How obviously spring we talked to you with the Mississippi
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Coaches Association Clinic. How has the summer been for you guys?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Man, it's been great. That's great. I think everybody's ready

• 3:10
  Speaker 1: You know, you're finishing week two of fall camp, you know,
• 3:13

  Speaker 1: to go and a walk through deal because you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it's a little too hot to get out today and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: we tried it, but it hit us pretty hard. So
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: when they're kind of introduce some more in Central stuff
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and obviously know they're a handful had some really good
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: battles with with coach Morgan when it was on a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: fun earlier talking about that. Just have there's been some
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: good games and all that. Just hey, this is what
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we're going to do in a jambure This is what
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: y'all gonna do in a jamburee, and just try to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: get out there and compete a little bit and stay
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: healthy for a week.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: One his goal, Yeah, what do you look for in
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a jamboree. I mean, obviously you don't show your whole
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: package on offense or defense, but what's you know, kind
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of what do you want to see happening in the goals.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Of those Yeah?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I told till the office the day. You know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I think I didn't tell them this, but I told
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: them we need to what we wanted to see as
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: could we be the more physical football team? You know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: how could we get going as sustain drives and finished
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: foot point pints every time, you.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Know, and start really fast on first down.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: The thing I didn't tell them that, you know, us
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: as coaches want to see is these kids that you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: maybe this is their first year playing varsity football. You know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: like a like a Tommy Brumfield, who's a tenth grade
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: receiver with all the talent in the world, Like, how's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: he going to do in the bright lights?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: The two offensive linemen that weren't starters last year, how
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: are they gonna perform?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: You know? We got a h back Wilkes Wallace, who
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: we love. How's he going? You know what I'm saying.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Just the guys that we hadn't seen the tape.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: We've seen tape on Tyson We've seen tape on sleeve,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: We've seen tape on Tallon Harvey, Carter Smith, you know
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: those guys.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: But just what about those other guys? Are they ready?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Can they do it? Do we need to get a
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: backup playing all that kind of stuff?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: You know? I think that's I think that's our big thing,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: just playing somebody other than ourselves. Visiting with Justin Hunter,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator at Brandon associate head coach Thursday edition of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: your program, people have asked, what is this Brandon offense
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: gonna look like under Justin Hunter?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I know you from just football obviously, and we've got
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I think a great relationship. I know what you've done
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: in the past. You've put points on the board. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: was over there visit with a Clinton. We were Clinton
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, and Hammer Morgan told me
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: off the air, he said, uh, man, y'all got a
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: good coach over there.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: He said, he.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Knows offensive football. What does printed his offense look like
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: on a Justin Hunter?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I just want us to be I want us to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: be efficient. You know, I think it's it's probably the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: first word, you know, Uh, talk to him all the time.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: We got to be great on first down. You know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: we want to play with with with pretty good tempo,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: but you can't play with tempo if you're going three
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and out. So we're gonna spend a lot of focus
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: on first down. Uh, We're gonna try to do what
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: our players do best.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: You know. Obviously you got Tyson and Kingston that we
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: feel pretty good about. We got shocked that. You know.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I just love him from maturity and a leadership standpoint. Man,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: just a great, great, great kid.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just wowed by him every day just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: being around him. And not to mention JB get our
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: next guy line man. Just two kids that you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is when you have
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a play caller and a quarterback. They got to have
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a special relationship. Man and I and I I feel
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: like we are we have that, you know, great great kids.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: But again, just be efficient. You know, we can't have
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: bad penalties and we can't turn the football over, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: we got to finish drives with a kick, preferably an
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: extra point. You know, but if we have to pump,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: we have to pump. We just can't turn the football over.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: We can't put our defense in a mind. But we
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: want to go as fast as we can possibly go,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: but again, we can't do that if we're not efficient,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: especially on first down.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Slayton was referencing. He said, the biggest difference is
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the playbook has gotten thicker this year. So obviously, but
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: how do you know, you could be the best offensive
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: coordinator or offensive mind in the world, right, regardless of football,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: but getting it to what your kids can actually digest
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and perform, you know, consistently on the field, correct, right, right.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I think a big benefit we've had is just doing
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the morning practices. You know, we go five to forty
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: five in the morning, we practice, and then they go
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: shy or we shower, go to school, and then the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: last block we get them and we've already watched that film.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: We have notes on that film, so we're either walked
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: through and film or both or whatever. So it's happening
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: pretty quick as far as hey, this is what it
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: looked like, this is what we've got, this is what
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: we did good. This we got to work on, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: then off of that, then you got the next morning script.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So it's just I don't want to say it's like
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a college camp, but that's kind of how it's being
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in a nutshell, you know. And I think that's I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: think that's very beneficial because they're not having to practice
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: at three, get done at five, and then wait till
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the next afternoon. They're getting it pretty quick as far
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: as feedback and stuff goes. And I think I think
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: we're picking up on it really really quick. I don't
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: feel like it's a lot, you know. I feel like it's, uh,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: we're throwing a lot of stuff at them. But obviously,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: week to week we're not gonna do all that type thing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: But just with the way things are now, with when
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you get the summers and then you get these two weeks,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've got a lot of time to practice football,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you know. So let's just see what they can do
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and what they can't do, and then what we like
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: we'll keep, and what we don't we.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Want, you know.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And it sounds like what you guys are doing. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: haven't heard a lot of schools talk doing about doing
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: it that way. But it sounds like a modified to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: two days of sorts, uh kind of maybe maybe you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I say modify it, right, yeah, but to make sure
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: we say modified, yeah, absolutely absolutely. Look I'm old enough
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: to remember teams used to do three days, right. I
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: mean you know you you would go a Saturday sometimes
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and you would go morning, you would go after lunch,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and then you'd come back under the light.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Man and they might put us under the jail. And
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: we're trying to do that now.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Can't do that, right, can't do that. Visit with Justin Hunter.
