• 0:20
  Speaker 1: on man. How you doing?
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well. Let me tell you this, as a
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: football meathead, if there isn't a fight that breaks out
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: practice one, the first time we're in pads, then we
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: ain't got the right squad.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Now we talk.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Forgetting it cracking all day one. That's what it's all about.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Right now, we're talking baby, I don't overdo it though.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: All right, one's good. But let's let's make.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Literally the first day we're in pads, that was the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: only day we want to practice disrupted for a fight.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: But as a former player, like I'll never forget the
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: first day I showed up in college and we put
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the pads on. It was like a known thing, like
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I didn't get the memo, like all of a sudden,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: like it is going haywire left or right, and little
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: did I know, Like it was a known thing, like hey,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: We've been itching to get out of it for the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: last one hundred days, and I'm gonna hate that guy
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: across from me for the next forty five seconds. We
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: got to get this out. I love gotta get this out.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I love it, man, I love it all right. So
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you are I know you by the way. You got
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: videos on everything nationally. You've got a bunch on Big
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: ten media Day one yesterday when Brett Beelama fired up
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: everybody in SEC country. SEC Media Days was last week.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Where do you fall on Georgia and Texas or do
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you like someone else? Who's your favorite to win the SEC?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So I think, first and foremost there's like six or
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: seven SEC football teams that are are put together well
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: enough to maybe win this conference and ultimately be playoff teams. Right,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: it's the usuals. It's Georgia, Texas. I think Alabama's defense
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: is that good, LUs Who's offense is that good? Ole
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Miss has individual talents that are that good. A and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: M's culture. I think this point in Mike elkos tenure
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: is really really solid. Oklahoma has a great defense and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: at least a pulse offensively, so they should be in
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that hunt. It's a really really deep league, but I
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: think most people settled in on Georgia and Texas, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I thought it was very interesting, Like everybody respects Texas's roster,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and how could you not. I think it's the most
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: talented one to twenty two that we have in college
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: football this year. Maybe close second Oregon. Oregon's front six
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the football is bonkers. They've
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: got a great returning offense as well. But like Georgia
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and Texas is where everybody kind of settled. And then
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: when you get down to it, you're like, hey, well,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: if Georgia and Texas don't play each other this year,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and we think they're the best teams in the conference
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and we think it's shaping up for them to meet
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: up in Atlanta for the SEC championship game, then nobody
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: in their right mind can pick Texas preseason to win
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: that football game against Georgia because they just haven't. They're
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: oer for three and a bad over three. They get
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: their butt lipps time they played Georgia. Physically, I mean,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: can't run the football, can't stop Georgia from running it
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: down their throat, Like there's something going on there right,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Like the hire of Will mush Champion this offseason as
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: defense coordinator was I think two prong right. Stevens Steves
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Sarkisian didn't think he could fully hand over the defense
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: last year to their defensive coordinator. And he can't be
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: over there micro managing defense because he's the head coach,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: he's the CEO, and he's the offensive play caller. He's
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: too many hats to be over there and doing quality
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: control for defense too. So when he said, hey, I
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: hired Will Musch Champion to be the head coach of
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the defense, that should alleviate a lot of pressure. But
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I also think he hired him because, like, who else
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: would have the secret codes for Georgia that's hireable other
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: than Will Musch Champion, Like you ain't stealing Glenn Schuman,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: but you might be able to pay three million dollars
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to get much champ up off the couch, and that's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: exactly what they did.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: What are you thinking about Arch this year? Last year,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it took him a while to get going. By the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: end he started to pick it up a little bit.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Are you thinking that this could be the Heisman big
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: year for Arch or will be kind of like last year?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: You know, I felt vindicated this offseason when I found
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: out he had foot surgery. I think it's something that
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: nobody really talked about. Everybody assumed he was hurt last
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: year because just because it looks so bad, like the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the freshman tape was really good mechanics. I'm a big
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: mechanics guy. I don't care how you get it done.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to be done consistently, over and over
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and over again, because that's where accuracy comes from. If
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: we're constantly manipulating our motions and manipulating our mechanics, we're
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: going to spray the football. I always tell people it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: like having seven different golf swings is not ideal. You're
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: not going to be a good golfer if you're different,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: if you're cutting it loose different every single time. Same thing.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: We play a quarterback and when we have a foot
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: injury going on that requires offseason surgery that Steve Sarkisian
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: tells us they dealt, he dealt with all of twenty
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: twenty five. I felt vindicated because I didn't see the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: same football player week to week from a mechanical structure.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: What I did see is a dude that's tough as nails.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: That guy was a pincushion last year if you watch
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: him the way that if you watch the games the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: way that I watched the games, which is throw an
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: All twenty two lens, they didn't protect him at all.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: They didn't give him any quick and now answers in
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the passing game. There was no hots built into that system.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Everything was so NFL laden, Like the average depth of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: targets guys last year, we're fifteen to seventeen yards downfield
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: on a down to down basis, but they couldn't protect
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: for sixteen to seventeen yards worth the depths of routes.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Does that make sense? Like there was no there was
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: no ability to protect that guy and they didn't give
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: him any help last year. So I think I do
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: feel bullets on what it's gonna be year three, because
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: A I think we're finally going to be healthy for
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the first time in fourteen months. And B, I mean,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: if they can't fix the offensive line, fire everybody, they
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: gave him everything. They gave that offense line coach Kyle Flood,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: everything that he possibly could need to protect this investment
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and asset that is the quarterback. Right, They took an
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: All acc guy out of Wake Forest. They kicked the
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: former five star Brandon Baker into guard. They took an
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: All American from Western Kentucky. They paid formsby to come
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: back like our goosey whoever it is, the left tackle
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: that should have been a first round draft pick last year.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: They gave him whatever it takes to get him to
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: come back to college and bypass fifty five million dollars
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to go to the league. Like they gave them everything
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to protect that quarterback. And if they don't, it's all
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: on the coaching and that's all that's left out there
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: at Texas. Can we stay healthy and do we actually
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: have good enough football coaches?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Hey, give me some quick thoughts. By the way, Brooks Austin,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: if you're enjoying listening to him talk ball, and you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: can just tell he is a dude that loves him
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a machine and studies the film. He is at the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Film Guy Network on YouTube. His live shows are Monday
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: through Thursday eight o'clock to ten o'clock and he's got
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a bunch of other videos. And I know you're going
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to be doing a lot of quarterback breakdowns, one a
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: day in the month of August and ninety nine thousand subscribers.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: We got to push that to one hundred thousand. He's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: headed back back going right now.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Let me that I need that plaque.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, help him to help him get his plaque there. Man,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: what we want to be a little part of the awards.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Let me give you a couple of quarterbacks here and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: give me quick thoughts on them this year. Like Leonora Sellers,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I think he let's just start with sell We can
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: move from there. Let's just start with Sellers. Does he
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: bounce back this year? In your opinion?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Boys, I was on radio stations and networks up in
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: your area last year talking about this dude winning a Heisman.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Here was the problem I probably should have known, like, hey,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: football guy, it's probably something to pay attention to the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: fact that they promoted an offensive coordinator of the eight
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: called places twenty and sixteen and never once in his
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: life as he called plays in college football. That should
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: have been a red alert. It should have been a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: red alert for me. But I was like, you know what,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: he's good, he's great. Maybe they'll just you know, keep
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the language the same and kind of make him comfortable
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: with what dal Longins was. Nope, Nope, it was awful.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: It was so bad last year. Now, they did attempt
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: to make things better up front, right, they got Jacarious
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Peaks out of the portal from Incas State, and then
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: unfortunately Josiah Thompson looks like he's gonna be out for
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the year. Maybe maybe Mason or is a Mason or
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: caseon Henry. Either way, Henry over there at right tackle
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: has been playing a lot of ball for them lately,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: so and not bad football, so he ought to be
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: all right whether or not they can protect him. As
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: one thing, now, I do love the pairing of Kendall
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Briles and what you know, Leonoris can ultimately do you know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Endol has been a really really good offensive coordinator. He
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: was great when he had a mobile threat in kJ
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Jefferson over there at Arkansas, Like that's the last time
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Kendall's had a quarterback that can actually move a little
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: bit and be a design quarterback run guy, and they
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: stress defenses like nobody's business. When that is the case,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you could go all the way back to the Baylor
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: years with the Brill system in RG three, like that's
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: when they're at their best, that's when they're most comfortable
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: as an offensive system and there's also a lot of
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you know, like carryover from the dow Logins regime and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the dow Logins language and how they attack and how
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: they teach concepts, and they share a lot of like underlings,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: under coaches, right position coaches. There's a lot of that
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: tree that's kind of tied together. So that makes me
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: think that there's gonna be a lot of comfortability in
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: your first year with a coordinator, and Lord knows there
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: needs to be. I think this is coordinator four for
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Leonoris in four years of football. That's not ideal. No,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: not at all.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: On the Film Guy Network, as mentioned on YouTube, in
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the month of August, you're doing a quarterback breakdown a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: different quarterback every day of the month leading up to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the start of the season. Who are a couple of
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks that maybe not a lot of people are talking
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: about that you can't wait to break down?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Oh so, I'm a huge Tnidett Chambliscott. I think everybody's
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: kind of coming to grips with the fact that they
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: think he's one of the best returning quarterbacks in college football.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Here's a random pull for you, Okay. I like the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: pairing of Anthony Klandria at Nebraska for this sole purpose,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: like del Riola is gonna be a relatively decent pro
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: He's a good pro style quarterback, but that stuff doesn't
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: work in college when we're just not good enough everywhere
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: else and Nebraska is not good enough up front to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: have a statue esque. I can't move, but I'm a
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: great thrower type of quarterback. This Calandria cat, I'll run
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: all over the place like his hair's on fire, all right,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna move him a lot. They're gonna alleviate
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of those problems with him. I think it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: gonna look a little bit better, Uh, this year out
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: there at Nebraska offensively. Now, their schedule absolutely brutal, absolutely brutal,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So it doesn't really matter. They're probably gonna get their
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: doors kicked in quite often. But I enjoyed watching Calandria's
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: tape out there at NLV last year. The SEC country
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: better get used to and aware of Byron Brown's legs
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and body. That is the biggest six foot three, two
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty pounds I have ever seen in my life.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: That dude feels six foot six, two fifties. I mean,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: when you walk up on him, you're like yeah, no, no, no, no, no,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: All six three two thirties are not created the same
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: another one. And by the way, he's verified twenty three
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: miles per hour in pads. It's not like, oh he's
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: It's not like, oh he's fast in a straight line
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: when he's running his shorts and a T shirt with
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: speed cleats on. That dude care roll all right, So
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be a problem. That's gonna translate. I think
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: that's gonna translate to the NFL, honestly, with how big
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: and fast he is not at the quarterback position, but
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: he gonna make a hell of five tight end if
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: he wants to buy into that. And I do think,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I do think Camaro Taylor is immensely talented, so much
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: so that if it doesn't work out this year in
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State, it's okay, Camrio. If you're listening, Miami's gonna
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: give you seventeen million dollars.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: You know, that's how they roll. Every year. They got
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a pluck one stole my guy from Duke. I know
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: how it feels. The Byron Brown cam comparisons at Auburn,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: by the way, are going It's gonna happen all the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: time man, No doubt about it. All right. He is
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Brooks Austin. He is the Film Guy Network at the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Film Guy Network on YouTube live shows eight to ten
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Monday through Thursday. Check out all his video content. He
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: loves this stuff, man, he puts a lot into it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Brooks Austin, Brooks, thanks for coming on man, always appreciate it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: No doubt, boys, you'll be good.
