- 1:13Speaker 1: right after the game. So happy Sunday to all of you. Coop,
- 1:18Speaker 1: talk to me, man, how are you feeling so far?
- 1:22Speaker 2: Feeling good? Like I said, you know, it's we're getting
- 1:24Speaker 2: into that fault recipe. And so wife, he made big
- 1:29Speaker 2: old thing beans, cornbread, cabbage, collar greens. We had ourselves
- 1:35Speaker 2: a nice little homemade strawberry shortcake. So I'm in a
- 1:38Speaker 2: little bit of a food coma right now, which is
- 1:41Speaker 2: never never bad. There we go, there we go.
- 1:44Speaker 1: So, man, the thought of that food had your boy
- 1:50Speaker 1: in a food home of feeling. Man, that's a it
- 1:52Speaker 1: was good. Yeah, that sounds amazing, man. And shout out
- 1:57Speaker 1: to y'all for pulling up in here. Man as Coop
- 2:00Speaker 1: about comforting food, that's what I had to have. Had
- 2:02Speaker 1: to have me a big old bowl from Qdoba, just
- 2:05Speaker 1: rice and beans. And you know, I had me a
- 2:07Speaker 1: big old cookie from Chili's, one of those skillet cookies
- 2:11Speaker 1: with the ice cream. I had to have that as
- 2:13Speaker 1: my comfort. So I had a couple of things of
- 2:14Speaker 1: comfort food which completely went against the diet. Now I
- 2:18Speaker 1: need to go hit that tread mill again. But hey,
- 2:22Speaker 1: thank out for pulling up. I know that a lot
- 2:26Speaker 1: of you have felt the pain. I know a lot
- 2:30Speaker 1: of you were down bad. Sheldon shout out to you.
- 2:32Speaker 1: I understand the down bad feeling. Yesterday. We were all
- 2:34Speaker 1: down back, we were we were all down back. Hence
- 2:38Speaker 1: why I went live right after the game. I know
- 2:44Speaker 1: Coop was quite perturbed, so I just went ahead and
- 2:51Speaker 1: went on and I just let y'all have it right.
- 2:53Speaker 1: And if you go look at that video in the
- 2:55Speaker 1: common section, it's getting nasty. I'm just gonna tell you
- 2:58Speaker 1: that now, it's getting very very very very very very nasty.
- 3:02Speaker 1: And I'm glad I got it off your chest. I'm
- 3:05Speaker 1: glad that we got that feeling off because I want
- 3:09Speaker 1: to open up with this statement as we lead into
- 3:11Speaker 1: the beauties of talking about this season. Coop, do you
- 3:16Speaker 1: remember the twenty fifteen football season.
- 3:21Speaker 2: I do. I do remember that.
- 3:24Speaker 1: So for some of you, we went eleven and two
- 3:26Speaker 1: that year, finished fifth in the rankings, eight and one
- 3:31Speaker 1: in conference. Bob Sus was still head coach at that point.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley was running the offense. And in that season
- 3:41Speaker 1: we had Baker Mayfield, samaj p Roan, Joe Mixon right,
- 3:47Speaker 1: Dus Brooks, Darlie Sheppard, Rodney Anderson. Trevor Knight was still
- 3:52Speaker 1: out there playing quarterback kind of he lost the basically
- 3:54Speaker 1: starting job. Mark Andrews was out there, young pupp Dimitri Flowers,
- 3:58Speaker 1: et cetera. This is how we started that season. Cool
- 4:04Speaker 1: first game of the season against Akron. We won the
- 4:08Speaker 1: game forty one to three. Now you may be thinking, Jay,
- 4:12Speaker 1: we blew them out. What do you expect? It was
- 4:15Speaker 1: seventeen to three at the half. I remember as were booing.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Suer fans were booing.
- 4:20Speaker 2: In that game, Men scored a touchdown with like no
- 4:23Speaker 2: time left to make it ten to three at halftime.
- 4:25Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, he scored.
- 4:28Speaker 1: No. P Ryan scored put US ten to ten to zero.
- 4:33Speaker 2: D D.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Westbrow scored with two minutes left to get US seventeen
- 4:37Speaker 1: to zero, and then Akron kicked a field goal with
- 4:40Speaker 1: six seconds left to make it three. But then, of
- 4:43Speaker 1: course the second half, Joe Mixing caught a pass, went deep,
- 4:46Speaker 1: you know, Mead went eleven yards from Baker. Baker ran
- 4:49Speaker 1: in a touchdown, and then Austin Severed kicked a field
- 4:52Speaker 1: goal and we won forty one to three. Some of
- 4:56Speaker 1: y'all probably asking, Jay, why the hell are you talking
- 4:57Speaker 1: about this? Next game was Tennessee. We traveled to Tennessee.
- 5:03Speaker 1: You remember that what happened in that game? Coop?
- 5:06Speaker 2: I do remember that game very well.
- 5:08Speaker 1: We were down seventeen to three at the half. Yeah,
- 5:12Speaker 1: against the Tennessee team was kind of questionable. They between
- 5:14Speaker 1: third and the country. We were still feeling that they
- 5:16Speaker 1: were the whole team. And we tied the game with
- 5:21Speaker 1: forty seconds left seventeen all, and won the ball game
- 5:24Speaker 1: in overtime. Next game playing is Tulsa at the Crib.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Tulsa right won that game fifty to to thirty eight.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Coop No. One I'm bringing up that game is it's
- 5:40Speaker 1: the third game the season. Y'all understand why I'm bringing
- 5:42Speaker 1: it up, right, We started the game off seventeen to three.
- 5:47Speaker 1: You know we doing it right, We're doing it. We
- 5:49Speaker 1: let Tulsa score twenty one points in the second quarter
- 5:51Speaker 1: and we only scored fourteen. The score was thirty one
- 5:54Speaker 1: to twenty four at a half. How many Sooner fans
- 5:58Speaker 1: was losing their minds after that game? Yeah, offense was
- 6:03Speaker 1: very slow and sputtery. Things just did not go. I mean,
- 6:08Speaker 1: Baker had to run a thirty nine yard touchdown to
- 6:10Speaker 1: get us the first score when we retired. So somebody
- 6:16Speaker 1: mute PG. We don't do trolling in this one. This
- 6:21Speaker 1: is not the one that we're gonna troll in. Controlled
- 6:23Speaker 1: last night today we're not trolling tonight. Tonight, we're thinking.
- 6:29Speaker 1: But as you see here, Coop, looking at this here,
- 6:36Speaker 1: it was thirty one to twenty four at the half.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Because Tulsa's scored on a forty three yard touchdown with
- 6:44Speaker 1: one second left, but they also scored a twenty eight
- 6:46Speaker 1: yard touchdown with thirteen seconds left. It was all bad.
- 6:51Speaker 1: That season at eleven and two was still considered awful
- 6:56Speaker 1: for Sooner fans. So my point in bringing all that
- 6:58Speaker 1: up is not to say that anybody's overreacting or was
- 7:02Speaker 1: losing their minds. I'm telling y'all this because your frustrations
- 7:11Speaker 1: are warranted. Coop, your frustrations are warranted. My frustrations are warranted.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Being upset about this it's warranted. So I'm not mad
- 7:21Speaker 1: at anybody for it. But I do want to remind
- 7:23Speaker 1: y'all we're only two games into the season. With the
- 7:27Speaker 1: first year OC, first year quarterback, first year offensive line together.
- 7:34Speaker 1: It's gonna take a few minutes, especially since the thing
- 7:38Speaker 1: that I and Kop pointed out before the season started
- 7:42Speaker 1: that would help us to be better. Those skills guys
- 7:48Speaker 1: are not really performing. Our running backs are kind of
- 7:51Speaker 1: our wide receivers have been hurt. So we're playing new guys.
- 7:53Speaker 1: So we're playing first year wide receivers too, if you
- 7:56Speaker 1: really think about it that way. So we got a
- 7:59Speaker 1: lot hear that we're trying to mix through. So I'm
- 8:03Speaker 1: off my rant went basically six minutes straight. Didn't want
- 8:06Speaker 1: to do that, but I had to open up with
- 8:08Speaker 1: that to remind y'all, we're gonna flush. We're gonna move
- 8:11Speaker 1: on to Tulane since we are a fourteen point favorite
- 8:13Speaker 1: in that game. Start at fourteen and a half. Now's
- 8:15Speaker 1: fourteen anyway, cope, talk to me about this game. Give
- 8:18Speaker 1: me your feelings. We're gonna go ahead to start back.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Just go ahead and rid the BANDA. How do you
- 8:21Speaker 1: feel about the offense?
- 8:21Speaker 2: Man?
- 8:22Speaker 1: What came to mind for you with this game?
- 8:26Speaker 2: It's a here's here's the thing is what you fall
- 8:29Speaker 2: back on? It was I think the one thing that
- 8:33Speaker 2: this team needs to find out this week, and you
- 8:35Speaker 2: gotta do it fast, is what is our identity? What
- 8:38Speaker 2: are we all about? How do we when you fall back?
- 8:41Speaker 2: When you when you have an identity of your team
- 8:43Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball, what is the
- 8:46Speaker 2: thing that we want to This is goal number one
- 8:49Speaker 2: and from what I saw last night. You know, I
- 8:52Speaker 2: don't think that you throw everything on play calling. I
- 8:55Speaker 2: don't think that you throw everything on the quarterback. I
- 8:59Speaker 2: don't think you've throw everything on you know, the wide receivers,
- 9:03Speaker 2: the offensive line. It's if I was in the locker
- 9:07Speaker 2: room for the next practice, it would be this. Guys,
- 9:13Speaker 2: this starts with doing your job. You see it on
- 9:16Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball and the defense. Each
- 9:18Speaker 2: guy on the defense, they do their job, They take
- 9:22Speaker 2: care of their job. You know, we talked about it
- 9:24Speaker 2: after game one when you see you know, Kobe McKenzie,
- 9:28Speaker 2: you know, slap a guy on the back side, scoot
- 9:30Speaker 2: him over so that they can be in the right
- 9:31Speaker 2: in their position. And that's what you have to go
- 9:34Speaker 2: through with this game going into this next week is
- 9:37Speaker 2: all right, do your job well, Do your job well,
- 9:41Speaker 2: because that is going to have to be the thing
- 9:44Speaker 2: that actually makes sense is if you are the center,
- 9:50Speaker 2: what is your job and you got to be about
- 9:52Speaker 2: your job and doing your job with excellence. And then quarterback,
- 9:57Speaker 2: same thing is when it is time for a play,
- 10:01Speaker 2: do your job and let's do that because that is
- 10:05Speaker 2: going to be the number one piece is you cannot
- 10:07Speaker 2: worry about somebody else. You cannot worry about what this
- 10:10Speaker 2: guy's doing on the other side of the field or whatever.
- 10:13Speaker 2: But that's it. You got to do that. Now. That
- 10:16Speaker 2: also goes up to seth is what is my job?
- 10:19Speaker 2: Because now there's no more we don't have any more
- 10:25Speaker 2: what's buffer. There's no more buffer for this team. Now
- 10:28Speaker 2: it is all right, guys, Now it's the season. Now
- 10:30Speaker 2: let's go because this going around tinkering excuses with vanilla
- 10:34Speaker 2: and stuff like that, it is now let's go and
- 10:38Speaker 2: let's find out what we need to do to make
- 10:43Speaker 2: easier lanes for the running backs. You know, Javonte Barnes
- 10:47Speaker 2: is out there running like a madman, and when he
- 10:50Speaker 2: doesn't have somebody grabbing him in the backfield, he seems
- 10:55Speaker 2: to be cooking sawshuck. It seems like he takes the
- 10:58Speaker 2: ball and he's drilled immediately. So it's weird, think right it.
- 11:03Speaker 2: It just looks odd because I saw Barnes. There was
- 11:06Speaker 2: one point, I think it was the end of the
- 11:07Speaker 2: first quarter. Barnes had a thirteen yard run right up
- 11:11Speaker 2: the middle. A little bit later he has the edge
- 11:14Speaker 2: run to where they run it to the boundary. But
- 11:17Speaker 2: then there was. You know, there's also times where I
- 11:20Speaker 2: think that the play calling wasn't terrible the entire game.
- 11:23Speaker 2: There were there were there were bad times. But there
- 11:27Speaker 2: was one play where Bower Sharp, which which I love
- 11:30Speaker 2: Bauer and I think that I'm excited about what he
- 11:33Speaker 2: can be. And I don't know if it is you know,
- 11:36Speaker 2: practicing against this faster defense all season. You know, he
- 11:40Speaker 2: he plays faster than he needs to with the competition
- 11:44Speaker 2: that's in front of him. But I've seen on multiple
- 11:47Speaker 2: times Bower Sharp has situations where he has a capability
- 11:50Speaker 2: to go out and to to block somebody and he
- 11:54Speaker 2: over pursues and he leaves himself open. There was a
- 11:57Speaker 2: swing pass out to Javonte. Javante ends up, you know,
- 12:01Speaker 2: dodging somebody, but the guy that ends up making the
- 12:03Speaker 2: tackle for a one yard game was guy that Bower
- 12:06Speaker 2: Sharp had responsibility on on blocking. The question did a
- 12:09Speaker 2: breakdown from game one where Sawchak probably runs for a
- 12:12Speaker 2: fifty yard touchdown if Bower Sharp doesn't over pursue. Yep,
- 12:17Speaker 2: And so I will say this here here, here's my
- 12:19Speaker 2: here's my consolation for everybody watching right now is we
- 12:26Speaker 2: have not been beat. We have been at a spot
- 12:33Speaker 2: to where we are not we are not executing the
- 12:37Speaker 2: plays appropriately, and so that is something if we're just
- 12:41Speaker 2: out there just getting drummed, that that's something that like,
- 12:44Speaker 2: that's that's that's a that's that's sad, and that's that's concerning.
- 12:49Speaker 2: But I think that at this point, this is something
- 12:51Speaker 2: for every single guy to look in the mirror and say,
- 12:54Speaker 2: can I do more? And can I do a better
- 12:56Speaker 2: job at this? And if those guys are out there
- 12:59Speaker 2: and they're busting their ass, pardon my language, but if
- 13:02Speaker 2: they're busting it and they're doing a great job, and
- 13:06Speaker 2: then it's the play calling. Now you can go that
- 13:08Speaker 2: because right now there's so many different things going on
- 13:11Speaker 2: that it's hard to go, well, let's let's blame Sethel Trail,
- 13:15Speaker 2: or let's let's let's blame Jackson Arnold, or let's blame
- 13:18Speaker 2: the fact that we've got three ride receivers five eight
- 13:21Speaker 2: and under out on the field at the same exact time.
- 13:24Speaker 2: So it is it's it's one play at a time.
- 13:27Speaker 2: That is it's coach speak when we hear it. But
- 13:30Speaker 2: you know, you can't do this, I mean, you know,
- 13:34Speaker 2: and there's a there's a scripture that says, a man
- 13:37Speaker 2: cannot serve two masters. So if you are wanting to
- 13:41Speaker 2: blame other people, but then you're not doing a good job.
- 13:43Speaker 2: But you can't do that kind of stuff. You've got
- 13:45Speaker 2: to focus down in and you got to do that.
- 13:47Speaker 2: And I'm sitting here, I'm serious, I'm sitting in church
- 13:49Speaker 2: this morning, and I'm and that was the thing I
- 13:51Speaker 2: was thinking about. It's like, Okay, we have to know
- 13:55Speaker 2: who we are is what's our identity? So going into
- 13:57Speaker 2: two lane, you're not playing somebody who just got trounced
- 14:02Speaker 2: the week before. You're not playing somebody who you know
- 14:05Speaker 2: that you're gonna show up and then you're just gonna run.
- 14:08Speaker 2: You have to go out and you have to go
- 14:10Speaker 2: all right, I'm winning this play. This is my assignment,
- 14:12Speaker 2: and I'm winning this play. And I think that if
- 14:14Speaker 2: our offense can do that, we don't have to go
- 14:17Speaker 2: out and score sixty points. We don't have to go
- 14:20Speaker 2: out and score fifty points. Hell, we don't have to
- 14:22Speaker 2: go out and score forty points. I think that if
- 14:24Speaker 2: this team gets out there and says, listen, let's give
- 14:28Speaker 2: some complimentary football opportunities to our defense. Because guys, we
- 14:32Speaker 2: were at this point last year, the year before the
- 14:34Speaker 2: year before that, year before that year before that, to
- 14:36Speaker 2: where it's like our offense has to do everything because
- 14:39Speaker 2: I know our defense is not going to hold up
- 14:41Speaker 2: that side of the ball. I think that this offense
- 14:43Speaker 2: has the capability and the tools around it with some health,
- 14:47Speaker 2: that you can get out and you can actually do
- 14:49Speaker 2: a great job with things. And so I think that
- 14:52Speaker 2: Tulane comes into town, this is maybe a situation to
- 14:56Speaker 2: where if I am the head coach of Tulane, I
- 15:00Speaker 2: am looking at my team and I go, guys, let's
- 15:04Speaker 2: not do the blood in the water thing, because this
- 15:06Speaker 2: team's gonna come out like an insane group and they're
- 15:09Speaker 2: going to bring it, so we better do the same.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Because if you walk out there like that, I think
- 15:14Speaker 2: that's that's not a very very wise saying. I expect
- 15:17Speaker 2: for a big bounce back from this team in week three.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Very well said offensively for me. I mean, after the rewatch,
- 15:29Speaker 1: I did another rewatch, right, I watched some stuff. I
- 15:31Speaker 1: listened to Gabe and Teddy talk about it, and here's
- 15:36Speaker 1: my take, and I see I see your comments. No worry,
- 15:39Speaker 1: I see them. I'm not gonna put them on the
- 15:40Speaker 1: screen while we try to talk through this or whatnot,
- 15:43Speaker 1: try to keep the show going. I see what you're saying.
- 15:46Speaker 1: I get where everybody's thinking about, you know, Latrell's struggles.
- 15:52Speaker 1: But until I see this team with at least half
- 15:56Speaker 1: of the players that are supposed to be starting playing,
- 16:00Speaker 1: I can't, especially at the skills spot, I can't really
- 16:04Speaker 1: throw La Trail under the bus. Fully, I don't think
- 16:07Speaker 1: it was play calling. I think it was execution. That's
- 16:09Speaker 1: my personal take on it. Right now, this still rolls
- 16:12Speaker 1: up to Latrell and understanding that. Let's put it this way.
- 16:16Speaker 1: I said this in the court earlier. I need Seth
- 16:20Speaker 1: Latrell to be the quarterback, not Jackson are at this point,
- 16:23Speaker 1: I need Seth Latrell to tell Jackson on to where
- 16:25Speaker 1: to go with the ball. Jackson is only in his
- 16:27Speaker 1: third start at the collegiate level. He's still trying to
- 16:30Speaker 1: figure things out. And there's one thing that I know
- 16:34Speaker 1: that with Hypel's system, with that Verian shoot at Tennessee,
- 16:39Speaker 1: is Nko has an idea where the ball's going before
- 16:41Speaker 1: he hikes it. It's just how the system is built.
- 16:44Speaker 1: It's built to make it very easy and friendly for quarterbacks.
- 16:48Speaker 1: It's ratios. It's ratios. This way go here, ratio this way,
- 16:51Speaker 1: go that way. Similar to the way Dylan Gabriel played.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Gabriel had years of experience. That's why you saw something
- 16:56Speaker 1: different from him his first two years here because he
- 16:58Speaker 1: was already playing for three years years. Remember, he's not
- 17:01Speaker 1: very good his last year at you know UCF before
- 17:04Speaker 1: he got hurt. You can tell it. So for Jackson,
- 17:09Speaker 1: it's he's given too many options and that's where Seth
- 17:14Speaker 1: Latrone needs to step in. He needs to take away
- 17:16Speaker 1: those options for right now, this is where you're gonna go.
- 17:19Speaker 1: This is what we're seeing at most two reads, right
- 17:24Speaker 1: And that's not any shade on Jackson Arnold. It's he's
- 17:27Speaker 1: trying to be as perfect as possible. And Gabe said
- 17:30Speaker 1: this perfectly on on the Oklahma breakdown.
- 17:32Speaker 2: Was.
- 17:34Speaker 1: It looks like he's trying to wait to throw the
- 17:36Speaker 1: ball when they're open. He's not trying to throw the
- 17:40Speaker 1: ball before. He's not trying to do anticipatory throws. And
- 17:43Speaker 1: I think he's afraid of making anticipatory throws because everybody
- 17:47Speaker 1: slandered the hell out of him after the Arizona game,
- 17:49Speaker 1: in which honestly most of that wasn't his fault. We're
- 17:52Speaker 1: up thirty one thirteen. I'm keep reminding of that, we're
- 17:54Speaker 1: up thirty one thirteen if we don't have that Fumber
- 17:56Speaker 1: return for a touchdown. So for him, it's he's he's
- 18:00Speaker 1: got some yips. He's trying to and at the same time,
- 18:04Speaker 1: he's also trying to rebuild chemistry with the whole bunch
- 18:07Speaker 1: of dudes that weren't practicing with the first team all fall, right,
- 18:12Speaker 1: you had Nick out there, then he got you know,
- 18:14Speaker 1: the little hand me deal and he came out. Andre
- 18:16Speaker 1: was starting to get some run. He is trying to build.
- 18:20Speaker 1: JJ Hester was his best wide receiver and he only
- 18:22Speaker 1: got six snaps in his last game. Yes, he dropped
- 18:25Speaker 1: his passes on the first game because again I felt
- 18:27Speaker 1: like he was you know, I give it to PG
- 18:29Speaker 1: think he was yippie. But I'm gonna be honest, when
- 18:33Speaker 1: I rewatched it, the past game was not bad. This
- 18:38Speaker 1: is where the bad game struggled. Not giving the ball
- 18:42Speaker 1: to Dion Burks at three yards right when I went
- 18:45Speaker 1: and rewatched it, cool, I'm looking at the defense. The
- 18:51Speaker 1: defense was literally giving Dion Burks eight yards. Y'all know
- 18:54Speaker 1: why right, He's a deep threat. They knew it. That
- 19:00Speaker 1: passed to Brendan Thompson on the first drive was the
- 19:03Speaker 1: second drive, actually, no, no, no, sorry the third drive. It
- 19:06Speaker 1: was after the touchdown that led to the next touchdown
- 19:10Speaker 1: to or whatnot to Jake Roberts. When he threw that pass,
- 19:16Speaker 1: the pocket was perfect and the defense bracketed Dion Burks.
- 19:21Speaker 1: As soon as Burke's made his break deep, you saw
- 19:25Speaker 1: the safety follow him and the corner underneath. They had
- 19:27Speaker 1: that do bracketed. They were like, you're not gonna burn us.
- 19:31Speaker 1: And so Brennan came around the middle. He did the
- 19:34Speaker 1: nice deep drag. Jackson stepped up, launched a beautiful spiral
- 19:40Speaker 1: right into his lap. What was the problem from there on?
- 19:46Speaker 1: They kept trying to go deep. They kept trying to
- 19:49Speaker 1: play that that passed to Zion raging. He was trying
- 19:55Speaker 1: too much. The deep passes, the underthrows to Brennan and
- 19:58Speaker 1: then the pass to the backside of Brendan bad. What
- 20:02Speaker 1: should they have done the exact same thing that Donovan
- 20:06Speaker 1: Smith did. Just keep dumping it, make them come up.
- 20:11Speaker 1: We didn't force the defense to come up. We let
- 20:14Speaker 1: the defense chill eight yards back that's what we did.
- 20:20Speaker 1: And then we kept trying to running at him. Yeah,
- 20:24Speaker 1: we kept trying to run it at that wall that
- 20:26Speaker 1: just was not opening. So to me, Coop, I was
- 20:30Speaker 1: thinking about this earlier. Why don't we just throw screens right,
- 20:34Speaker 1: help the line, help the quarterback, help the running backs,
- 20:37Speaker 1: quick screens, tonal screens, similar to what Houston was doing. Now, granted,
- 20:41Speaker 1: we were stopping a lot of Houston's progression. I think
- 20:44Speaker 1: they got passed a fifty yard twice this entire game.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Besides the penalties. Yeah, we did well in defending, but
- 20:58Speaker 1: we'll talk about defense in a minut. We talking about
- 21:00Speaker 1: with laying last. But to me, Ku, when I looked
- 21:02Speaker 1: at that, let me ask you this, what do we
- 21:05Speaker 1: need to do going forward with the running back? Room man,
- 21:08Speaker 1: what do you feel like it's probably a better solution
- 21:10Speaker 1: because when I pulled up the score, the statistics in
- 21:12Speaker 1: this game seventy eight yards Russian man, brutal? So what
- 21:21Speaker 1: do we do to fix it?
- 21:23Speaker 2: I mean, like I think I said, what we should
- 21:26Speaker 2: see more of? And I was wondering again, the excuses
- 21:31Speaker 2: are out now, it's you need to open up and
- 21:33Speaker 2: you need to run the damn offense at this point. And
- 21:35Speaker 2: if you're playing vanilla and you're trying to keep things cute,
- 21:40Speaker 2: it's it. It all starts with the downfield passing game.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Is when you don't have multiple threats, you can't. So
- 21:48Speaker 2: if you're bracketing Dion and he's going deep, uh, and
- 21:52Speaker 2: there's an underneath safety and where there's an underneath corner,
- 21:55Speaker 2: underneath coverage, and he's relying on the you know, the safety,
- 22:00Speaker 2: I think that you you can't throw jump balls to
- 22:04Speaker 2: five eight receivers like you Brennan Thompson's not built for.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Because why you throw a jump ball to a guy
- 22:12Speaker 2: like you know, Nick six or Jaden Gibson is because
- 22:17Speaker 2: they've got some size they can change. That's an expandage
- 22:19Speaker 2: right there, hester is and another one Hester and now
- 22:22Speaker 2: I hear that he did get hurt this, you know,
- 22:24Speaker 2: the other night, so last night. So but if you
- 22:29Speaker 2: don't run multiple routes deep and you don't make the corner,
- 22:33Speaker 2: you know, see something different, then I think that, I mean,
- 22:36Speaker 2: that's an issue, and that's why you don't have that
- 22:39Speaker 2: downtown passing game. And so everybody right now for two
- 22:43Speaker 2: games has said, hey, we see what's going on. We're
- 22:46Speaker 2: just going to play at the line of scrimmage and
- 22:49Speaker 2: now you've got all of that situation going on. Yep,
- 22:53Speaker 2: you know, I don't I don't understand. But also i'd
- 22:56Speaker 2: say this is you don't have a lot of opportunity
- 22:58Speaker 2: to get guys like carry On or Zion Kearney, you
- 23:02Speaker 2: know the ball because you're going three and outs and
- 23:05Speaker 2: that's three plays. I mean you're going to have a
- 23:07Speaker 2: running play in. There's some but I think to fix
- 23:09Speaker 2: the running back room, number one is you need this.
- 23:13Speaker 2: I mean, Seth Latreill. This offense needs to I think
- 23:16Speaker 2: Stoya said it. So I'm gonna jump on the board
- 23:19Speaker 2: with Stoya. Let's pitch the damn RPO stuff because it
- 23:24Speaker 2: needs to be like you said, Jay, you need to say,
- 23:26Speaker 2: all right, this is what you're doing. And it's going
- 23:29Speaker 2: to help the offensive line too, because now they're trying
- 23:31Speaker 2: to run with a little bit more of a like
- 23:33Speaker 2: it could be a run block, it could be a
- 23:35Speaker 2: pass block. I've got my three yards. I got to
- 23:37Speaker 2: stay within the three yards. You need a singular assignment
- 23:40Speaker 2: and work from there because that needs to become the
- 23:42Speaker 2: base of who this offense is. And so again, if
- 23:46Speaker 2: you want to give options. Let's do some more Let's
- 23:51Speaker 2: do some more capable, you know, running out on the edge,
- 23:55Speaker 2: because when you run out on the edge, you get
- 23:57Speaker 2: the linebackers flowing. Now you can boot leg off of that,
- 24:01Speaker 2: and now Jackson Arnold can bootleg back out the opposite
- 24:04Speaker 2: way and he doesn't have the same amount of pressure
- 24:08Speaker 2: for a pool. So let's do that. Let's run more
- 24:10Speaker 2: play action. But you're going to have to have some
- 24:12Speaker 2: success running the ball. You're going to have to drive.
- 24:15Speaker 2: And that's the thing where I think that with all
- 24:17Speaker 2: these injuries that we are missing is the capability for
- 24:20Speaker 2: these guys to drive. And I'm also to the point
- 24:22Speaker 2: where I'm like, hey, listen, I would much rather go
- 24:25Speaker 2: and throw heithos Aida out there. I would rather throw
- 24:28Speaker 2: epl out there. I would rather, you know, do that
- 24:32Speaker 2: and say, listen, guys blow their ass off the ball.
- 24:34Speaker 2: I don't care what happens if it's a passed down,
- 24:36Speaker 2: if it's a running down, let's you you focus on
- 24:39Speaker 2: putting them on their butt. And we also need to
- 24:43Speaker 2: see if we're going to run a list two back
- 24:45Speaker 2: sets and one guy's just out there doing nothing, it's
- 24:47Speaker 2: pointless because now you have another guy with an assignment.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Who's who's standing in the box. And if the other
- 24:53Speaker 2: running back isn't doing anything or he's running, you know,
- 24:56Speaker 2: running into the back of the offensive lineman, you you
- 24:59Speaker 2: basically give this him the equalizer by having guys in
- 25:02Speaker 2: the box. So what do I mean by the two
- 25:04Speaker 2: back sets is let's do something to where you have
- 25:07Speaker 2: guys going different ways, you have multiple options. If you're
- 25:10Speaker 2: going to give Jackson ard on a multiple option play,
- 25:13Speaker 2: let's do it with Hey, listen, You're going to have
- 25:16Speaker 2: the chance to pull the ball and to have a
- 25:18Speaker 2: running back go out into the pass. So we need
- 25:20Speaker 2: to see that. We need to see more of these things,
- 25:23Speaker 2: because it doesn't matter if Brendan Thompson, it doesn't matter,
- 25:26Speaker 2: if Zion ragents, it doesn't have matter. Deon Burk's as
- 25:28Speaker 2: fast as hell is. If everybody is right at the
- 25:32Speaker 2: right at the sticks, that makes it extremely tough. And
- 25:36Speaker 2: I think that, like you said, I think Jackson has
- 25:38Speaker 2: way too many issues, way too many things going through
- 25:41Speaker 2: his mind, went too many thoughts, and so let's give
- 25:43Speaker 2: him one or two let him get those things down
- 25:46Speaker 2: so he can always go all right, this is what
- 25:48Speaker 2: I'm falling back on, because right now we don't have
- 25:51Speaker 2: a play that you can just fall back on, and
- 25:54Speaker 2: if there is still this predetermined, this is how we're
- 25:58Speaker 2: going to play this game, and we're just not going
- 26:00Speaker 2: to show anything. You got to throw that shit out
- 26:01Speaker 2: right now. It's gotta go away because now you're in
- 26:05Speaker 2: a situation to where this defense is stellar. They will
- 26:08Speaker 2: not stay stellar if they are on the field for
- 26:11Speaker 2: freaking forty minutes a game. It's just not going to happen.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Yeah, and Blake, I gotta disagree with you on just
- 26:18Speaker 1: about all your wide receiver takes. First off, we're not
- 26:21Speaker 1: playing with our best wide receivers right for Rooks out.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Nick's still out and I think Nick should be back
- 26:28Speaker 1: this week. So the wide receivers that we were worried
- 26:31Speaker 1: about were Dion Berg's who had nine catches. You know,
- 26:33Speaker 1: he's doing his thing, Nick six, which Nick should be
- 26:39Speaker 1: back this coming week now, he should be healthier. They
- 26:41Speaker 1: didn't have a reason to play them. Andro Anthony is
- 26:47Speaker 1: getting back healthy. The expectation was him to come back Tennessee,
- 26:49Speaker 1: but he played the first game and they're not trying
- 26:52Speaker 1: to rush them, so I expect him to actually play
- 26:54Speaker 1: against ulaane now because we kind of need our you know,
- 26:56Speaker 1: our best wide receivers out there. So now that we're
- 27:00Speaker 1: playing a whole bunch of new dudes, the one the
- 27:04Speaker 1: ones that were best, honestly was JJ Hester. We need
- 27:07Speaker 1: to play on more, like, go ahead and get him
- 27:08Speaker 1: out there. He had a deep pass. He may have
- 27:10Speaker 1: dropped it, may went through his hands, but shoot, let
- 27:12Speaker 1: him practice, let him do it. And yeah, these wide
- 27:17Speaker 1: receivers were able to get behind our secondary because we
- 27:22Speaker 1: weren't playing to where we were stopping everything deep. Like literally,
- 27:26Speaker 1: if you watch Temple and you watch the way that
- 27:29Speaker 1: Houston played, they gave us eight yard cushions. Why because
- 27:32Speaker 1: they knew. They're not dumb. They're like, we're not gonna
- 27:36Speaker 1: get dusted, We're not gonna get burnt. We're not gonna
- 27:42Speaker 1: do that to ourselves. So honestly, we should have probably
- 27:47Speaker 1: played some of the other players. We probably should have
- 27:50Speaker 1: played Andrell a little bit more. But I get why
- 27:52Speaker 1: you want to make sure that he's healthy for the
- 27:54Speaker 1: most important games. We should have dog walked Houston a
- 27:58Speaker 1: little bit better than this. But at the same time,
- 27:59Speaker 1: will he is a really good coach. Don't forget he
- 28:02Speaker 1: made us struggle when we played Tulane twice. You know,
- 28:07Speaker 1: last regime we struggled with Tulane. Willie Fritz Duke can
- 28:11Speaker 1: coach his butt off. So with that wide receiver room
- 28:17Speaker 1: coop to me. Yeah, it's time to just bring out everybody.
- 28:21Speaker 1: And I think again, the game plan should be, just
- 28:24Speaker 1: tell this dude where to go. You know the wide
- 28:26Speaker 1: receivers that know how to get open, you know the
- 28:28Speaker 1: ones that are running the route certain ways. Right, BT
- 28:30Speaker 1: is your deep threat. You put him in the slot,
- 28:33Speaker 1: you have him run a post, a skinny post or
- 28:35Speaker 1: a fly, and you throw it past him. Make him
- 28:38Speaker 1: catch it, catch up to it. It felt like Jaya
- 28:41Speaker 1: was trying to be too perfect and I hate that
- 28:47Speaker 1: because dog take the risk, watch that thing. Let somebody
- 28:50Speaker 1: go get it. But we don't need to be doing
- 28:52Speaker 1: that with five eight wide receivers, right. I need Zion
- 28:54Speaker 1: to be catching quick slants and let him outrun people.
- 28:57Speaker 1: I don't need him setting in pockets and catching passes
- 29:00Speaker 1: across the middle. That's for Bower sharp, that's also for
- 29:03Speaker 1: Jake Roberts. Why weren't we throwing it to Bower and
- 29:06Speaker 1: Jake Roberts across the middle. A little bit more. My
- 29:09Speaker 1: quick lot passes, right, you go boom rpo pound. You
- 29:12Speaker 1: just live it. You know, the touchdowns and the deep
- 29:14Speaker 1: plays that we got out of Jake Roberts should have
- 29:16Speaker 1: kept doing that sometimes, Coop to me, tell me if
- 29:21Speaker 1: I'm crazy, it's okay to just keep doing the same
- 29:27Speaker 1: thing over and over. Am I wrong? If it's working?
- 29:30Speaker 1: Am I wrong?
- 29:32Speaker 2: I mean, make him stop you. But it also is
- 29:35Speaker 2: the the the alternate and the other side of that
- 29:38Speaker 2: is also crap too. When you're trying something over and
- 29:41Speaker 2: over and over again and it's not working, like you
- 29:45Speaker 2: there's nothing positive that comes out of that. So if
- 29:47Speaker 2: you are you know and and listen, I will say
- 29:52Speaker 2: this is like I've heard, there's two theories. Let's blow
- 29:55Speaker 2: the whole damn thing up. Bring it in, you know,
- 29:59Speaker 2: put Jackson on the bring in Hawkins, bring in Tatum. Guys,
- 30:04Speaker 2: everybody's saying that based off of one drive at the
- 30:07Speaker 2: end of the game game one, like, that's not the answer,
- 30:10Speaker 2: And there's there there there is a wave of consequence
- 30:14Speaker 2: that happens with that. But what I would say this is,
- 30:18Speaker 2: you got to you got it. You gotta just put
- 30:21Speaker 2: your yourself in a better situation. It's early downs. We
- 30:24Speaker 2: averaged nine yards to go on third down. Now we
- 30:27Speaker 2: we converted more third down conversions than we did in
- 30:30Speaker 2: game one, which I mean that's a positive, right, but yeah,
- 30:34Speaker 2: it sucks there. There is nothing good about what we saw.
- 30:37Speaker 2: So you get to two forms of thought. If this
- 30:41Speaker 2: team just completely says, all right, listen, we know we
- 30:43Speaker 2: got we had. We had a very very very very
- 30:46Speaker 2: bad situation happened this past week. Let's start right now.
- 30:51Speaker 2: We won, it's two and zero, let's move forward. It
- 30:54Speaker 2: doesn't seem that anybody has, you know, gone to a
- 30:58Speaker 2: national narrative of this team is going to be doll crap.
- 31:02Speaker 2: And maybe it's because maybe it's because everybody kind of
- 31:05Speaker 2: expects once we get through the conference there's gonna be
- 31:08Speaker 2: a lot of failure anyway. But you got week you
- 31:12Speaker 2: got Week three, you walk in two and zero, and
- 31:15Speaker 2: now if you get into this week and it's more
- 31:18Speaker 2: of the same and we don't see improvements, and then
- 31:22Speaker 2: you go out to Tennessee, you have Tennessee come in
- 31:25Speaker 2: and there's no improvements there either, that's not I mean,
- 31:29Speaker 2: that's where you start feeling the concern is if we
- 31:32Speaker 2: don't see in the next two weeks things happen. That's concerning.
- 31:36Speaker 2: But I do say this is we are still at
- 31:39Speaker 2: the spot to where things can get better. Things can
- 31:42Speaker 2: get better, and they have to get better because what
- 31:45Speaker 2: is going on right now on offense is terrible. It
- 31:48Speaker 2: is not good. And you know, at this point, you know,
- 31:52Speaker 2: you go your You're Oklahoma like you cannot We cannot
- 31:57Speaker 2: run these excuses all year long. And you know, you're
- 32:00Speaker 2: starting to see some of the recruiting situations where you know,
- 32:03Speaker 2: Bill was not a big n I L person you
- 32:08Speaker 2: know here in the past couple of years until this
- 32:09Speaker 2: past year, and now you're starting to see some of
- 32:13Speaker 2: these guys that we have on campus. You know, I'd
- 32:16Speaker 2: say right now, this this this transfer line, the offensive
- 32:19Speaker 2: line transfers that they're they're there. It's not good. And uh,
- 32:24Speaker 2: but we can't keep on waiting for guys to get healthy.
- 32:28Speaker 2: We can't. It's just not possible.
- 32:30Speaker 1: Yeah, we gotta need to start getting more bodies. We
- 32:32Speaker 1: need more bodies at this point. And it's you know,
- 32:34Speaker 1: stacking talent on talent. And if I put it this way,
- 32:38Speaker 1: this is one thing that you all liked last season, Henk,
- 32:42Speaker 1: this is probably the best statement that I've been trying
- 32:44Speaker 1: to say, I've literally said since you know, the beginning
- 32:46Speaker 1: of the year, we need to ride the defense. We're
- 32:48Speaker 1: gonna ride the defense. We'll talk about them in a minute.
- 32:49Speaker 1: We're gonna ride the defense and let the offense get
- 32:51Speaker 1: itself healthy and get itself up to speed because we're
- 32:53Speaker 1: all dealing with a bunch of first year everything. The
- 32:56Speaker 1: thing that was supposed to help Jackson Arnold is that
- 32:58Speaker 1: he had veteran wide receivers and unforre fortunately two of
- 33:00Speaker 1: them are down. Four of them are down. So now
- 33:03Speaker 1: we need to get those back into the field. Right
- 33:06Speaker 1: we got two coming back. Luckily knock on wood that
- 33:08Speaker 1: they come back and they're healthy, but we need we
- 33:11Speaker 1: need those two back now. Were desperately need that. But
- 33:15Speaker 1: we need to ride the defense. But on that, we
- 33:29Speaker 1: need to stack talent on top of talent. And there's
- 33:33Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. We're seeing it now. We're seeing
- 33:35Speaker 1: that in the recruiting. They're getting more players, we're building
- 33:38Speaker 1: that we're probably going to be way more active in
- 33:41Speaker 1: the portal. But Coop, the one thing that I'm seeing
- 33:47Speaker 1: that really needs to change is that we've got to
- 33:53Speaker 1: get more physical The one thing you all loved, as
- 33:56Speaker 1: I was talking about a minute ago, is how physical
- 33:58Speaker 1: we were against Texas last ye here, right, we were
- 34:00Speaker 1: the more physical team. We were pushing them around, we
- 34:03Speaker 1: were doing all that stuff that y'all love. Right, But
- 34:05Speaker 1: you know the consequences of being the more physical team
- 34:07Speaker 1: on the field. You're gonna have practice casualties. You're gonna
- 34:13Speaker 1: have people that's gonna be banged up on a regular basis,
- 34:15Speaker 1: why because they're being physical. Like, we love physicality. We
- 34:20Speaker 1: love a team that's super physical. We love a team
- 34:22Speaker 1: that's pushing people around. But then you gotta deal with
- 34:26Speaker 1: ding dinged up players, injuries here her players. But with
- 34:30Speaker 1: that it's top defense. Thank you all for pulling up.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Hit the light button, Newton the chance subscribe if you're listening,
- 34:38Speaker 1: rate review, give us five stars. Cool. We're gonna talk
- 34:43Speaker 1: a little positive here, like I know that some of
- 34:44Speaker 1: y'all don't want to hear positive. I'm sorry. I am
- 34:47Speaker 1: definitely a silver lining guy. I always look at the
- 34:51Speaker 1: brighter side of things. That's just that's the only way
- 34:54Speaker 1: reason why I've survived as long as I have being alive, Right,
- 34:57Speaker 1: you gotta look at the bright side in order to
- 34:59Speaker 1: get over everything that happens to you in life. This
- 35:02Speaker 1: is how I survive.
- 35:03Speaker 2: So.
- 35:05Speaker 1: That defense looks good. Now, somebody may mention about the
- 35:08Speaker 1: bust that touchdown. Contrary to popular belief, that was not
- 35:11Speaker 1: on Billy Bowman, that was on Robert Spiers Jennings. Billy
- 35:14Speaker 1: was passing the play on and this is kind of
- 35:17Speaker 1: where this is where things can suck for us. Shout
- 35:22Speaker 1: out to Danny's Stutsman. He mentioned this before. I don't
- 35:25Speaker 1: know if a few of y'all caught this, but he
- 35:27Speaker 1: puts tape over his ears right. For those that don't understand,
- 35:33Speaker 1: it's not because the mics aren't loud enough. It's because
- 35:36Speaker 1: y'all as fans are loud. So because of that, the
- 35:40Speaker 1: other team is struggling to hear. But that also means
- 35:43Speaker 1: we're struggling to hear too, So Danny likes to cover
- 35:46Speaker 1: it up so he could try to hear the actual
- 35:48Speaker 1: play in his head. We're also looking at the sideline
- 35:50Speaker 1: to be able to get the signs that busted play
- 35:54Speaker 1: happened after Willie Washington got that interception and the Red
- 36:00Speaker 1: took it from us. I don't care what anybody says.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Y'all tell me whatever. I watched that play on all
- 36:06Speaker 1: the angles they showed the replays. The guy that the
- 36:09Speaker 1: ref that was watching, he did not take account to
- 36:12Speaker 1: the defender having his hand like this on Woody and
- 36:16Speaker 1: they're battling it out physically, and Woody's watching the ball,
- 36:19Speaker 1: and then wood he turns that was a pick because
- 36:23Speaker 1: they were both being physical. It wasn't one. The only
- 36:25Speaker 1: difference was is that you could tell Woody was stronger
- 36:27Speaker 1: than man Jack. You could easily tell that Woody it
- 36:34Speaker 1: was stronger than Man Jack didn't get the he got
- 36:37Speaker 1: the pick. Call it the PI boom. But y'all, y'ah,
- 36:40Speaker 1: I know for those that watched it or even there
- 36:42Speaker 1: at the field, y'all were rating booze after that. Y'all
- 36:47Speaker 1: are hot, So y'all werely loud after that. And I
- 36:53Speaker 1: watched rewatch that place. I was trying to figure out,
- 36:55Speaker 1: like who was supposed to cover that side of the zone. Well,
- 36:58Speaker 1: Billy was yelling at kend Adobe. He went over to
- 37:00Speaker 1: Robert Spears Jennings and everything, and it looked like there
- 37:02Speaker 1: was a cross in the communication. Spears Jennings ran up
- 37:06Speaker 1: to catch the tight end the same as I think
- 37:08Speaker 1: that was des Malona on the other side, or Jacobe Johnson,
- 37:10Speaker 1: one of the two. They both came in and that
- 37:12Speaker 1: left man Jack going deep wide open. Yep, they couldn't
- 37:17Speaker 1: hear they couldn't hear it. It was it was more
- 37:20Speaker 1: of a that was a complete cross communication. And I
- 37:22Speaker 1: love how Teddy and Gave said that that was one
- 37:24Speaker 1: of those mistakes that have never happened to gain with
- 37:26Speaker 1: Robert Spiars Jennings because the beauty of it was later
- 37:28Speaker 1: on in the game, guess what he got that pick
- 37:31Speaker 1: in which that was the probably the one critique I
- 37:33Speaker 1: have Coop, we knew that they were going to keep
- 37:37Speaker 1: going underneath. Why weren't we jumping routes?
- 37:44Speaker 2: You know, I would I would say this those of
- 37:46Speaker 2: the refs. I think Woody got screwed on two different calls.
- 37:49Speaker 2: I think the first passinger far on him. Uh the
- 37:53Speaker 2: receiver falls down in front of him and then tries
- 37:57Speaker 2: to get up, and wood he is making a play
- 37:59Speaker 2: on the ball like that one's crap. You know then
- 38:02Speaker 2: that the interception, I mean that what's bad? You got
- 38:04Speaker 2: to see Robert Spears Jennings. I mean he redeemed himself
- 38:06Speaker 2: later the game. He jumped throughout, he came in and
- 38:09Speaker 2: he got the pick. It's a there was not. I
- 38:13Speaker 2: mean it was three step drop heaven and it was
- 38:16Speaker 2: stand up and throw the ball. And that's more of
- 38:18Speaker 2: what I think this offense needs to do for our side.
- 38:21Speaker 2: This is uh, you know, it's this defense. They continued
- 38:25Speaker 2: to do what they were supposed to do and this
- 38:27Speaker 2: is still line up and play vanilla. This is what
- 38:30Speaker 2: they've done playing vanilla the entire time. They're you know,
- 38:34Speaker 2: knock on wood. They're not dealing with they're not dealing
- 38:38Speaker 2: with you know, injuries like that. On the defensive side
- 38:41Speaker 2: of the ball. What he came in, he was doing
- 38:43Speaker 2: a great job. You see Samuel Mesigo. You know he's
- 38:46Speaker 2: now rotating in with Delby earlier. So their people are
- 38:49Speaker 2: really really excited about what he's doing. He had a
- 38:51Speaker 2: massive tackle for loss. This defense still is not you know,
- 38:56Speaker 2: they're not faced with anything yet. And I told her,
- 39:00Speaker 2: but like you don't overreact to week one. You know,
- 39:03Speaker 2: this is Willie Fritz. He's a great head coach. You know,
- 39:06Speaker 2: what's his name. The quarterback is Donovan Smith. You know
- 39:10Speaker 2: this is not a Smith chump. I mean he this
- 39:12Speaker 2: is not a chump. He is a capable quarterback. He's
- 39:15Speaker 2: an four year, four year starter. So the defense continues
- 39:21Speaker 2: to do this with an absolute just all night job
- 39:27Speaker 2: on their hands. And you know, we still played a
- 39:30Speaker 2: decent amount of guys, but you know, there's still guys
- 39:33Speaker 2: that are hungry. And I know that there's there's somebody
- 39:35Speaker 2: in here right now who really really wants to see
- 39:38Speaker 2: their son get more opportunity. And this that's going to happen.
- 39:43Speaker 2: It's going to happen. And I think that here when
- 39:47Speaker 2: you know, I would like to see this team say,
- 39:49Speaker 2: you know what, screw putting stuff on film, Let's go
- 39:52Speaker 2: out this week. Let's let let's put some some absolute
- 39:56Speaker 2: fear into Tennessee because right now, you know, I don't
- 40:00Speaker 2: know what Tennessee's thinking. I'm guessing that Josh Hipel's probably
- 40:04Speaker 2: not looking at this and going, all right, we're really excited.
- 40:07Speaker 2: I think what he sees is all right, I see
- 40:09Speaker 2: a super super capable defense and we're gonna have to
- 40:12Speaker 2: play really really well on offense. And that's that's it,
- 40:16Speaker 2: just is what it is. I don't think that he
- 40:18Speaker 2: expects to show up and get, you know, get the
- 40:22Speaker 2: things going on. For I don't think they're just gonna
- 40:26Speaker 2: think they're gonna roll in and throw up six hundred yards.
- 40:29Speaker 2: I don't think that that's what's going on with him
- 40:30Speaker 2: right now. But this defense continues to play well. You
- 40:34Speaker 2: know again, I don't I don't know, you know, with
- 40:36Speaker 2: with some of the you know, some of the negativity
- 40:38Speaker 2: around the offense, you know, the defense needs to just
- 40:41Speaker 2: stay who they are. Just be who you are, play
- 40:45Speaker 2: how you're going to play. You continue to see. I mean,
- 40:48Speaker 2: let's just go to this. It's it's Drayson Halton. We've
- 40:52Speaker 2: heard about Drayson Halton for three years now, and that
- 40:55Speaker 2: dude is he is doing something that I did not
- 40:59Speaker 2: expect from him. I expected for him to be, you know,
- 41:02Speaker 2: the fifth or sixth best defensive tackle. The guy is
- 41:06Speaker 2: balling out. I mean he's balling out in a way
- 41:09Speaker 2: that I haven't seen defensive tackle do in sometime. I'd
- 41:12Speaker 2: like to see that. You know, Dom got himself a
- 41:14Speaker 2: you know, a sack ely in the game. You know
- 41:17Speaker 2: he was making the push. You know, you didn't really
- 41:19Speaker 2: see any like massive blow plays you know, from from
- 41:22Speaker 2: Jaydon Jackson this week, but you know, DJ Terry, you
- 41:25Speaker 2: saw some big emotion out of him. So this defense
- 41:28Speaker 2: is going to know. I mean, this is great because
- 41:31Speaker 2: I mean one of the things you know, I really
- 41:33Speaker 2: want to ask Steve, you know, from Danny is like, hey, listen,
- 41:36Speaker 2: the three sixty from you being the weak link on
- 41:40Speaker 2: the football team to now you lead this candidate. You know,
- 41:44Speaker 2: you lead this team as the candidates, you know, the
- 41:48Speaker 2: side of the ball that is dominant. Like, what do
- 41:51Speaker 2: you think about that? Because I mean, this defense is
- 41:53Speaker 2: good and again still playing pure vanilla. There's not any
- 41:57Speaker 2: exotic blitzes. There's not any exotic for there's no craziness
- 42:01Speaker 2: like that. This defense is going to have some time
- 42:04Speaker 2: to uh to to do some damage and so I'm
- 42:07Speaker 2: just I'm happy with it. Again. Uh, Danny got himself
- 42:10Speaker 2: fifteen tackles tackle for the loss we had se VP.
- 42:13Speaker 2: Yeah he still is. I mean he's the the I
- 42:16Speaker 2: mean last week we had three or four different guys
- 42:18Speaker 2: that you thought were going to do it. RSJ. You know,
- 42:21Speaker 2: he made up for for that mistake and that was
- 42:23Speaker 2: a communication mistake. Dude jumps a wrap and jumps a
- 42:27Speaker 2: route and you know, really send a secures. Well until
- 42:31Speaker 2: Josh Bates did the dumbest thing I've ever seen. You know,
- 42:34Speaker 2: It's basically secured the game at that point. So I
- 42:38Speaker 2: mean the defense is going to continue, but they cannot.
- 42:41Speaker 2: They cannot do this for for twelve more games. That's
- 42:46Speaker 2: not possible. It's not possible.
- 42:49Speaker 1: It's it's Stutsman out there playing both Mike and Will,
- 42:55Speaker 1: moving around, communicate with everybody. You could see he was
- 42:58Speaker 1: upset that they've even pulled him out for a minute.
- 43:00Speaker 1: He did really good, right Stutsman is showing you he's
- 43:03Speaker 1: gonna he's he's he's working on getting himself drafted first round.
- 43:06Speaker 1: He's gonna be a late first round pick based up
- 43:08Speaker 1: on the way he's playing right now. Billy, we gotta
- 43:12Speaker 1: go ahead. Take Billy off of punt return, kick return,
- 43:16Speaker 1: gouh kick returns, find punt, take him off gang them.
- 43:21Speaker 1: We need to find somebody else because I know that
- 43:24Speaker 1: he was good at it back in the day. He
- 43:27Speaker 1: got hurt when he was first here. He was good
- 43:30Speaker 1: at in high school. You get two muffs, bye bye,
- 43:33Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta get a pull it, gotta pull it.
- 43:35Speaker 1: It was just more so he wasn't concentrating on that.
- 43:38Speaker 1: But overall, the defense is doing everything. You all have
- 43:42Speaker 1: been wanting, and this is the funny thing, Coop, which
- 43:45Speaker 1: would do you prefer having a really good defense and
- 43:48Speaker 1: the offense be questionable or have a really good offense
- 43:52Speaker 1: and the defense be questionable. We complain we would like
- 43:55Speaker 1: to have both. That is the goal. You won't get
- 43:58Speaker 1: that until you have a quarterback that's in his third
- 44:01Speaker 1: year of running the offense. That's just kind of just
- 44:03Speaker 1: how we've seen it statistically, even in Baker's era right,
- 44:07Speaker 1: probably one of our potentially better defenses was gonna be
- 44:10Speaker 1: around sixteen and seventeen, and yeah, we saw how that
- 44:15Speaker 1: actually ended there. And having both as hard. It's very hard,
- 44:21Speaker 1: especially having high power. Having a team that runs in
- 44:24Speaker 1: the right tempo and pays and controls the clock. That's
- 44:29Speaker 1: hard too. Now in this game, we didn't do it
- 44:30Speaker 1: very well. Thirty five minutes on defense in this game,
- 44:34Speaker 1: the defense held up. They were bending, but they refused
- 44:37Speaker 1: to break. That's huge for what we're trying to do
- 44:41Speaker 1: here at Oklahoma. Y'all been asking for defense. We've seen
- 44:44Speaker 1: that national championships are won by defensive coaches more than
- 44:48Speaker 1: offensive guys. So what do we need to do now?
- 44:53Speaker 1: We've just got to add the offensive experience with the defense,
- 44:57Speaker 1: and I think we'll get there. I am not. I
- 45:00Speaker 1: have concerns, but I don't. I'm not stretched out like
- 45:03Speaker 1: everybody else's. But defensively cool, that evens a line man
- 45:07Speaker 1: looked good. Right we were we weren't getting a bunch
- 45:12Speaker 1: of pressure, but we had Donovan Smith getting rid of
- 45:15Speaker 1: the ball very fast. I mean, if you noticed, it
- 45:18Speaker 1: was quick dunk passes. He didn't throw the ball over
- 45:20Speaker 1: ten yards, but like two or three times in the
- 45:23Speaker 1: entire game. Like, is that a bad thing, Coop?
- 45:27Speaker 2: No?
- 45:28Speaker 1: I mean, but that's something that you want.
- 45:30Speaker 2: No, I mean, do you want him worried about about
- 45:33Speaker 2: doing that? I mean they've got the man jack on
- 45:35Speaker 2: the blown coverage with Stefan Johnson. He had himself. It
- 45:40Speaker 2: was a little quick run. But you know that's the
- 45:44Speaker 2: guy that I was really worried about from them on
- 45:46Speaker 2: an offensive side. Was the Makai mused kid getting a
- 45:50Speaker 2: plot receiver? What did he have? Five catches for twenty
- 45:53Speaker 2: three yards? Like four to six, four point six that
- 45:55Speaker 2: carry catch longest one being eight. I mean it's the
- 46:00Speaker 2: defense did what they were supposed to do. They when
- 46:04Speaker 2: when we punted the ball back Elzinga, you get the
- 46:07Speaker 2: you get the player of the game overall. But we
- 46:10Speaker 2: get it back there. And I think there was two
- 46:12Speaker 2: opportunities in a row where we could have you know,
- 46:15Speaker 2: got to put put ourselves in an opportunity to get safety.
- 46:17Speaker 2: Grayson hunt and balled out. I mean he he got
- 46:20Speaker 2: that safety and it was that you know that. It
- 46:24Speaker 2: was like the goal line stand against Texas. So, you know,
- 46:27Speaker 2: what do we have for the rest of the season.
- 46:29Speaker 2: This the offense, Like I said earlier, they don't need
- 46:34Speaker 2: we don't need forty points a game. We don't need
- 46:36Speaker 2: fifty points a game. But what we do need is
- 46:39Speaker 2: to find the identity on what we're going to try
- 46:41Speaker 2: to do. Who are we going to be? And I
- 46:44Speaker 2: think that with the rotation and the the you know,
- 46:48Speaker 2: the the you know, the overhauling of the offensive line
- 46:50Speaker 2: almost you know, every every drive, that's that's that's tough.
- 46:55Speaker 2: And so but if we get I mean, if we
- 47:00Speaker 2: if we continue with this with the injuries, you got
- 47:03Speaker 2: to find something. Sethil Treill needs to meet up and
- 47:06Speaker 2: get in front of get in front of Jackson and
- 47:09Speaker 2: say all right, here's what we're doing. Well, here's what
- 47:13Speaker 2: we're going to do and like you said, one read
- 47:15Speaker 2: to read, go, I think you ride with Davonte. Javonte
- 47:19Speaker 2: is our best back and it's not even close right now.
- 47:22Speaker 2: I don't know if Sautschuk has the hamstring thing or
- 47:24Speaker 2: if if he's you know, spinning around, but I mean
- 47:28Speaker 2: it's right now. No, this team. You don't look at Tennessee, Texas,
- 47:34Speaker 2: Ole Miss and you know Alabama. You don't look at
- 47:37Speaker 2: those games and go, wow, we can win those right now.
- 47:39Speaker 2: The thing is you don't. We don't. We don't play
- 47:42Speaker 2: Tennessee this week. We don't play Texas this week, we
- 47:44Speaker 2: don't play Bama this week. Those will come in its own.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Don't borrow worry from tomorrow. Like, let's let's keep it
- 47:50Speaker 2: down because as the one thing, listen, I know that
- 47:54Speaker 2: we're frustrated as fans. I know the press is frustrated.
- 47:57Speaker 2: I know the content creators are frustrated. I know that
- 47:59Speaker 2: the parents parents are frustrated. I know some of the
- 48:02Speaker 2: players are frustrated. Yep, But I say the one thing
- 48:06Speaker 2: is is listen. You can be frustrated, you can be
- 48:09Speaker 2: you can be agitated, you can show your frustration, but
- 48:13Speaker 2: don't forget like these are still kids. They are getting paid. Yes,
- 48:18Speaker 2: I understand that, but they're still kids. I still just
- 48:21Speaker 2: encourage everybody, you know, don't don't be crazy. Don't be
- 48:25Speaker 2: crazy on the socials, don't you know the boo birds
- 48:28Speaker 2: came out. The boo boo birds came out like let's
- 48:31Speaker 2: let's let's let's not mess with that. So yeah, Ulane,
- 48:35Speaker 2: Tulane can can beat this team. If we go out
- 48:38Speaker 2: there and play like we did this week, they can
- 48:41Speaker 2: beat us. I don't see that happening. As far as
- 48:45Speaker 2: us playing like this again this week.
- 48:49Speaker 1: I don't think to lane defensively is good enough to
- 48:56Speaker 1: cause us problems. If you want me to be honest,
- 49:00Speaker 1: I don't. And I think that our defense can handle them,
- 49:04Speaker 1: handle their offense. I do. I'm going to continue to
- 49:09Speaker 1: reiterate that the defense is what's going to carry us
- 49:12Speaker 1: because I think that this defense is built to be
- 49:15Speaker 1: able to. I mean our run. We have one of
- 49:18Speaker 1: the nation's best run defenses. We're not giving up very
- 49:23Speaker 1: many yards on the ground like that, no, I.
- 49:27Speaker 2: Mean it's fifty eight yards this week.
- 49:30Speaker 1: We're number sixteen right now. We've been up one hundred
- 49:32Speaker 1: and twenty seven rush yards this season.
- 49:35Speaker 2: So I'm guessing right around sixty something last week, so yep, yeah,
- 49:40Speaker 2: I mean it's but again, it's every single, every single
- 49:44Speaker 2: aspect of this team has to be like, how do
- 49:46Speaker 2: we correct what I'm doing?
- 49:48Speaker 1: Right? Yep? Passing Donovan Smith was the one that had
- 49:53Speaker 1: the most success against us. Right. We gave up only
- 49:55Speaker 1: two hundred yards in the first game of the season,
- 49:56Speaker 1: which under two hundred yards, which is pretty darn good
- 50:00Speaker 1: that we haven't done very often. We need to now,
- 50:07Speaker 1: if anything, we need to keep making these teams punt
- 50:13Speaker 1: like crazy, because when you looked at it, we kept
- 50:18Speaker 1: Houston punting on a regular basis. Our problem was we
- 50:21Speaker 1: weren't replying back. So we keep talking about the defense
- 50:25Speaker 1: and how the defense isn't good. They're literally were stopping
- 50:28Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff like that's what they were doing,
- 50:32Speaker 1: punt punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt. It was just
- 50:34Speaker 1: back and forth. That was a problem. And at a
- 50:36Speaker 1: certain point, you gotta give your defensive break. You gotta
- 50:45Speaker 1: give your defensive break. And so for me, the big
- 50:50Speaker 1: thing is going up against the team as we get
- 50:53Speaker 1: to Tulane and then you get to the next one,
- 50:55Speaker 1: which would be Tennessee. You've got to get out there
- 50:59Speaker 1: and and you got the offense has to keep the
- 51:04Speaker 1: ball longer. We need a higher time of possession. Yeah,
- 51:10Speaker 1: you got to have a higher time of possession. That's key, right.
- 51:14Speaker 1: We went from thirty with thirty five to twenty three
- 51:16Speaker 1: in that game. We didn't have the ball long enough.
- 51:19Speaker 1: On offense, we need we need just constant conversions, we
- 51:22Speaker 1: need long drives. We need to do everything we need
- 51:26Speaker 1: to do to dump the ball to your running back,
- 51:30Speaker 1: tight end, whatever, and go. We just need to gain
- 51:35Speaker 1: yards and go again. That's hence why I said the
- 51:38Speaker 1: best thing we could do for ourselves and this is
- 51:44Speaker 1: past the ball quick. Dion Burs have fifteen catches, three touchdowns,
- 51:48Speaker 1: but only eighty nine yards. And it's all because every
- 51:52Speaker 1: defense we've played against has gotten smart. Smart. They're like, no,
- 51:58Speaker 1: we're not gonna let this dude beat us deep. Why
- 52:00Speaker 1: will we do that to ourselves. We're not gonna let
- 52:02Speaker 1: this guy beat us deep. We're gonna make sure that
- 52:05Speaker 1: he catches the ball short. So we need to find
- 52:08Speaker 1: ways to get him the ball on the regular basis.
- 52:11Speaker 1: And I think once we do that, Coop, I think
- 52:13Speaker 1: we'll be fine. But to Lane's a really good team.
- 52:15Speaker 1: Men Sill was solid. He got hurt last game against
- 52:18Speaker 1: Kansas State. Kind of struggled a little bit at the end,
- 52:23Speaker 1: but because he got hurt, but he's solid. Their run
- 52:28Speaker 1: game is qu'es is okay? Mario Williams out there, teen
- 52:31Speaker 1: catches to two fifty two. You know they're gonna try
- 52:34Speaker 1: to go deep on us, right, Mario's gonna want to.
- 52:38Speaker 1: We got La Trail mcclutching on defense. We know we
- 52:40Speaker 1: went after him, got a few plays, got him hurting
- 52:43Speaker 1: him coming out. We need the offense to show up
- 52:48Speaker 1: in this game. So I guess the biggest secret is
- 52:51Speaker 1: is just dump the ball quickly to our players just
- 52:58Speaker 1: to get going. Get the line to where they don't
- 53:00Speaker 1: have to do so much right they don't. We need
- 53:05Speaker 1: to line to not feel as stressed. RPO pull it
- 53:14Speaker 1: or run it occasionally, because hey, when the RPO worked,
- 53:16Speaker 1: everyone was happy, got touchdowns. We got happy with those
- 53:20Speaker 1: when it wasn't working, when everybody can plain. Problem is
- 53:22Speaker 1: that we weren't handing the ball off when we probably
- 53:24Speaker 1: should have in some RPO. So stop making that decision.
- 53:27Speaker 2: Yeah, take it away.
- 53:28Speaker 1: Just go ahead and bubble screen, tunnel, screen, middle screen, wide, receiver,
- 53:37Speaker 1: swing passes, whatever. Get the ball out of Ja's hands
- 53:43Speaker 1: quickly so that he can get more comfortable. Let me
- 53:47Speaker 1: be comfortable with the motion of throwing the ball right,
- 53:50Speaker 1: not saying that he can't throw. Get him in a
- 53:53Speaker 1: comfort of motion. Okay, I felt that touch. That was
- 53:55Speaker 1: a good touch, That was a good throw, that was
- 53:57Speaker 1: a good pass, that was a good this. Get him
- 54:00Speaker 1: in those motions and we'll be fine. But once Nick
- 54:03Speaker 1: and Andrew gets back, I bet you timing is better.
- 54:06Speaker 1: Please play more, pet Away, pay more Hester. I need
- 54:10Speaker 1: those two both to play more. That's what we need.
- 54:14Speaker 1: So I think we'll be fine. I think we'll be
- 54:18Speaker 1: fine long term. But who what what? What do you think
- 54:20Speaker 1: is the who do you think is gonna be the
- 54:23Speaker 1: one that needs to jump out in this game against
- 54:25Speaker 1: tu Laighton.
- 54:28Speaker 2: I mean it starts with Jackson. It it is an absolute.
- 54:35Speaker 2: I mean, he needs to get up there. He needs
- 54:37Speaker 2: to go do what he's supposed to do. You gotta
- 54:39Speaker 2: be you gotta be quick with the ball. You have
- 54:41Speaker 2: to be decisive with the ball. If you make a
- 54:43Speaker 2: mistake you know downfield throwing the ball that that's fine,
- 54:48Speaker 2: But you know it's the interception. The commentator said something
- 54:53Speaker 2: along the lines of, you know, there, there's there's two
- 54:57Speaker 2: times that Jackson's throwing the ball deep, and I think
- 54:59Speaker 2: that he is He's trying to be perfect with it.
- 55:03Speaker 2: He's when you throw a deep ball, I mean, with
- 55:06Speaker 2: the guys that you have, I'd rather him overthrow these
- 55:09Speaker 2: guys than underthrown. It seems like he's underthrown guys more
- 55:12Speaker 2: often because I think he's trying to make a perfect pass.
- 55:16Speaker 2: And so he needs to go out there and say, hey, listen,
- 55:18Speaker 2: I just need to show up and I need to play.
- 55:20Speaker 2: I need to play my game. Be who I am.
- 55:23Speaker 2: You know. Again, I could say like, hey, it's the offense.
- 55:25Speaker 2: Let's let's get the offensive line get out there and
- 55:27Speaker 2: go and play better. But the offensive line, you know,
- 55:33Speaker 2: that's that's a health situation. That's why I say each
- 55:36Speaker 2: guy needs to look at themselves in the mirror and say,
- 55:39Speaker 2: I need to do better. What do I need to do?
- 55:41Speaker 2: I want to know, you know, that's mental reps. You
- 55:44Speaker 2: don't have to be out there because again I don't
- 55:45Speaker 2: want guys out there doing extra extra drills, you know,
- 55:48Speaker 2: and getting hurt again or anything like that, but you've
- 55:51Speaker 2: got to have these extra reps, these mental reps, you
- 55:53Speaker 2: got to get in the film. If I was those,
- 55:55Speaker 2: if I was these offensive linemen, I'd be in the
- 55:57Speaker 2: film room as often as possible. Get out there, because
- 56:01Speaker 2: that that's going to be it is. I think that
- 56:03Speaker 2: you know, with a pass protection Jackson didn't you know,
- 56:06Speaker 2: he didn't seem like he was getting really it didn't
- 56:10Speaker 2: seem like he was getting drilled on pass protection. It
- 56:13Speaker 2: was it was get out and you know, have some
- 56:18Speaker 2: faith in the offense. I think that you need the
- 56:20Speaker 2: bigger receivers again, like I said, with Brandon Thompson, Burks
- 56:23Speaker 2: and Ragings out there, I mean your tallest receivers fight
- 56:26Speaker 2: at that point, I want to see some mix up
- 56:28Speaker 2: in there. And right now, I mean Sethl Trill knows.
- 56:33Speaker 2: He knows exactly what's going on. He knows what's being said,
- 56:37Speaker 2: everything about it. He knows this. He's from here, he.
- 56:42Speaker 1: Knows the expectation. He know that they we are lighting
- 56:45Speaker 1: him up. He knows it.
- 56:47Speaker 2: And at this point it is all right time to
- 56:50Speaker 2: earn my spot because I promise you this is if
- 56:53Speaker 2: it does not continue, if it doesn't if there's no
- 56:56Speaker 2: progression with guys coming back from injury, that's when you go,
- 57:01Speaker 2: all right, that's when you can kind of jump on Latrell.
- 57:05Speaker 2: But again, I'm not to the point to where I'm
- 57:07Speaker 2: ready to just, you know, just blow the whole thing
- 57:10Speaker 2: up in after week two. It wasn't pretty. It was ugly.
- 57:14Speaker 2: It was absolutely ugly. But I'd say this is I'd
- 57:17Speaker 2: rather have the win this week than what Notre Dame
- 57:20Speaker 2: through out there against you know, Southern Illinois or Auburn
- 57:24Speaker 2: getting beat by cal. You know, there's other teams out
- 57:27Speaker 2: there that they got the l and now they have
- 57:29Speaker 2: to decide what's going on there. We at least are
- 57:32Speaker 2: two and zero at this point. We expect better and
- 57:36Speaker 2: we want to see better. We got a defense, now
- 57:39Speaker 2: it'signed for the offense to hop in. We've got the
- 57:41Speaker 2: pieces for it, and you can hide the you can
- 57:46Speaker 2: hide the offensive line pieces a lot more than you can,
- 57:51Speaker 2: you know, just having no receivers. So if you get
- 57:54Speaker 2: Andrell Anthony back and you now get you know, if
- 57:58Speaker 2: Nick six does make his turn, then now it's time
- 58:01Speaker 2: it's time to go. But I also expect this. I
- 58:04Speaker 2: think staff is going to I think they're gonna prepare
- 58:07Speaker 2: differently this week and definitely the week of Tennessee, they're
- 58:11Speaker 2: gonna they're going to they're gonna prepare differently and we'll see,
- 58:15Speaker 2: we'll see something different.
- 58:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I still got faith in the coaching staff. I
- 58:18Speaker 1: still got faith in what BV is putting together. He's
- 58:20Speaker 1: giving us a defense something that we've add for now.
- 58:23Speaker 1: We're not very happy, but it's okay because we're now,
- 58:26Speaker 1: you know, showing up with a new offense. We're figuring
- 58:29Speaker 1: that out. I'm I still have my belief in them,
- 58:33Speaker 1: still in trust in all of them, right, I think
- 58:35Speaker 1: that they're all putting the players in the best situation possible.
- 58:38Speaker 1: We just ain't helping. We want to have the most
- 58:41Speaker 1: physical team it is, we're always gonna be. If we're
- 58:45Speaker 1: gonna be physical, we're gonna have to deal with the
- 58:47Speaker 1: casualties of it, right, collateral damage of it is. You're
- 58:50Speaker 1: gonna have guys gonna be hurt and uh sooner legend,
- 58:53Speaker 1: Mike Man appreciate you pulling up. So I'm gonna say
- 58:56Speaker 1: this on the Bay the Baits deal. Sure, I get
- 59:00Speaker 1: that you will feel like he was used defending his quarterback. Cool.
- 59:05Speaker 1: He almost costs us a portion of this game, last
- 59:08Speaker 1: last possession, that you don't do stupid stuff like that.
- 59:13Speaker 1: He can jaw and everybody's pushing them back jawing. The
- 59:16Speaker 1: minute he took his helmet off, that's when he screwed.
- 59:19Speaker 2: Up the rest the restaurant. Yeah, because that's black or white.
- 59:24Speaker 2: The refs are gonna allow you to get up and
- 59:26Speaker 2: get up in someone's face. They're gonna allow that. That's
- 59:29Speaker 2: going to happen. But yeah, the moment you take the
- 59:32Speaker 2: helmet off, I mean they gotta they gotta throw the flag.
- 59:36Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're gonna throw the flag. You don't take
- 59:38Speaker 1: a helmet off, and y'all like that. He could have
- 59:41Speaker 1: kept jawing and walking. I get it. But the minute
- 59:44Speaker 1: he took his helmet off, he screwed up. Was good
- 59:49Speaker 1: truth appreciate that. Yes, we have a solid front seven.
- 59:52Speaker 1: Our defense is legitimate, right, and I get you sooner, cowboy,
- 59:56Speaker 1: you ain't sold on the defense. I don't know why
- 59:58Speaker 1: you ain't sold on the defense. I'm sold on the defense.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: You don't have to be I am. I'm gonna hundred
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: percent be there with that because I think that we're
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: doing everything that we're supposed to do. Defensively, right, we're
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: getting pressure, we might get a lot of sacks, but
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: I've recognized that when teams are getting rid of the
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: ball quickly, we're not going against quarterbacks who aren't trying
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball. Like you saw that
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: against Temple. A quarterback that doesn't know how to get
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: rid of ball quickly. Guess what was in his throat.
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: Diamond Smith has been around, he played at Texas Tech. Guys,
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: he knows what it's like to be under pressure. He
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: was getting rid of that ball as quickly as possible.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: And so we're gonna have to adjust the defense, get
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: back to the exotic blitzes, and do what we normally
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: do as we get ready going into SEC play. So
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: we're gonna have three tough games, right. You know. Toulane's
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: gonna be a tough one because they are a nice,
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: high powered offense and some are all is doing very
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: well down there. They should have won the game against
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: Kansas State, but their defense just gave it up. Hopefully
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: we do that. We got that, then you've got, of
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: course Tennessee, who's one of the higher powered offenses in
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: the country. I'm not saying that we have a Georgia
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: level deep efense. But I watched Georgia make them struggle
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: on offense. I've seen it right. The whole point is
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: if your defense is strong enough and it's good enough
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: to get enough pressure and make make the looks confusing,
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: guess what, you're gonna have teams struggle. But I'll tell
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: you this, they need your support, So be there for them,
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: show them some love. Coop final thoughts.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's now. Now, it's it's it's time to
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: let up, shut up. If this is if this team
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: wants to, if this team wants to get in here
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: and they want to, I mean if they want they want,
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: they still have every single goal out in front of them,
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: and if they want to obtain any of these goals,
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: it's time. So yeah, it is an absolute need to.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: That's that you're gonna have to. You're gonna have to
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: see each one of these players kind of come together.
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: This team is going to continue to to to trust
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: each other, They're going to continue to push each other,
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: and but uh, yeah, you got to do better because
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: that a're gonna cut it between here and there. I mean,
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: you gotta get better.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: And that's it. That's what we gotta do, so let's
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: make it happen, all right. Thank you all for pulling
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: up hit that like budd if you need to chance, subscribe, rate, review,
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: and all of that jazz. Thank you all for tuning
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: in and hanging out with us. Don't worry, we'll break
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: down a lot more of this. I've got go watch
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: the game. Actually soon they get off from and go
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: watch the game one more time, and we're going to yeah,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: see where all we need to make adjustments, So I'll
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: dive into that. We'll chop it up with all of
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: you in the next day or two. Keep your heads up,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: we've got a defense. Peace
