  Speaker 5: lower half, he's got more zip on the ball, he's
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: more explosive on a first step. Look, I think this

  Speaker 5: is going to be a big year for him. And
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: that's you know, most people would tell you that too.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: That's why most outlets have him as the first team
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: quarterback on the All American teams that are out there.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: The Athletic just released their All American team. He was
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: the first team quarterback. There. Big, big things happening there

  Speaker 5: former Cowboys two time Pro Bowl cornerback Trevion Diggs is
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: signing a one year deal with the Seattle Seahawks. And
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: this is interesting. This was something that was put out,
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: you know, because so many guys are getting an extra year,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: extra two years. A lot of guys are finishing college quicker.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: And last year we talked about or Nashley, it was
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: talked about Carson Beck and the fact that Carson Beck,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: you know, wasn't taking classes, but now it was revealed

• 3:12
  Speaker 5: but anyway, I know it's extremely popular. They said Lenora
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Sellers this semester, no classes. He graduates in December. His
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: only school responsibility is an internship at a local driving range.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: So that's a heck of a deal, right. I mean,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: you got a little internship and go hit some golf balls.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Maybe he'll clean up a little bit, you know, maybe
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: go shack some golf balls and then you come back
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: and you work on football. So it's not gonna get
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: any better for him? Is that is a heck of
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: a deal. There Also, former James Madison linebacker Trent Hendrick,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: reported by Pete Nakos on three dot com, is set
• 3:48

• 4:21
  Speaker 5: and Keewan Lacy Missouri o miss first team running backs.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: And you know it's something to say mean, you don't
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: see at least in history outside of Alabama and Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Texas teams like that where you see multiple guys from
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: the same team on an All American team, And it
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: sure doesn't happen in the state of Mississippi much so.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Trinidad chamberlis Keiwan Lacey again first Team All American honors
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: courtesy of the Athletic cam Coleman. Jeremiah Smith, you're two
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: wide receivers again. Every time I see this, I'm gonna
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: say it because it drives me crazy. Why do we
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: still do All American teams with two running backs, two
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: wide receivers and a tight end when nobody plays two
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: running backs, two wide receivers and a tight end. Why
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: will we not reformat our All American teams? Maybe take
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: a running back out, maybe had a wide receiver, Maybe
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: take the tight end out. I don't know, but jeremih Smith,
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: cam Coleman, your two wide receiver receivers. LSU with two
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: guys on this list, Trey Tredees Green a tight end,

  Speaker 5: and then Jordan's Seaton, an offensive tackle. Also got an
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: offensive lineman from Indiana Iowa Cincinnati and Oregon, and a

• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Texas Tech, Georgia and Alabama. Bray Hubbard, formerly of Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

  Speaker 5: that Week zero matchup across the pond. We'll get into
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: some more old Miss standouts from Ole Miss camp also

  Speaker 5: Tennessee and Alabama. The Crimson Tide and the Tennessee Balls
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: will both wear their home jerseys this year at neland Stadium,

• 6:43
  Speaker 5: wear the crimson and Tennessee will wear the orange, the
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: burn orange. I don't know if that's burn orange. I
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: think Texas is burned and I don't know what that
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: is Jowhouse orange. I don't know what Tennessee wears. But anyway,
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: both of these teams will wear their home jerseys in
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: a ball game. And several people obviously old enough to remember,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: posting old photos of these two teams getting after it
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: third Sunday in October with both wearing their home jerseys. Also,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: we told you about a couple of injuries in the NFL,

  Speaker 5: Eastern New Mexico Division two school. The Greyhounds have lost
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: twenty two of their last thirty ball games and were
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: picked seventh in the conference. Quote that inspires me as
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Art Brile's back in coaching. He was coaching in Italy.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: I believe it was Italy. Was it Italy? Maybe? Yeah,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: he was coaching Italian football. I didn't even know they

  Speaker 8: It's really it's really good for the Jucos in Mississippi,
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: it is, you know, you know, it's really tough on
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: these kids around here to try to get into universities
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: and all that with all the kids getting extra year.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, me and you were talking earlier, and I was telling,
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: you know, last year, just going on Thursday nights and
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: working ball games and the product of Mississippi Juco is
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: it's always been really good, but if it felt like
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: and this thing's even better now. But it's a product
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: of what's going on in Division one. I think.
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's when you have older kids staying there long, Like,
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: you know, the only options you have for a lot
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: of your high school kids is go to Juko and
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: it's been a couple of years and grow up and
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: get hit a little bit, and then all of a
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: sudden they go d one and all of a sudden
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: they're a hot commodity as well.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Let me ask you this from uh, you know, you've
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: been doing this a long time. Tutelage of young men
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: in high school used to and when I say used
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: to five years ago, if you were pretty darn good,
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: you may have a shot to maybe you know, obviously
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: the really good ones are gonna get theirs, but if
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: you were pretty good, you might have a shot to
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: get one of those last three, four or five spots,
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: or maybe a gray shirt of Division one. What are
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: you guys telling young men now, Because if it's if
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: you're not a bona fide you know, four five star,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: you know, high three, ever you want to classify it,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: it's really really tough for the young guys.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: Really, you know, if they get an offer for D one,
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: we're telling them, take it, take it, take it when
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: you can, because at any moment they could. You know,
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: if you don't do it, somebody else will.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: And then you know.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: The great thing is in Misissippi we have the Juco's.
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: It's really good and we've had many kids the last
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: few years go there. We had a linebacker graduate two
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: years ago, one year Golf Coast and he's already a Baylor.
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: So you know, they can go to JUCO for a
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: year and then all of a sudden they're gone. We
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: have a d lineman went to Golf Coast two years
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: ago and now he's at Oregon State. So you know,
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: just because you're going to JUCO don't mean you stay.
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: You go, put film together, and then all of a
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: sudden you're gone somewhere else.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's interesting to hear two different schools, Baylor
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: and then Oregon State. We are seeing more. And I
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: think it's with the money. For instance, the Big Ten
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: is coming here. They're pulling guys left and right out
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: of Mississippi. The ACC is Juco's, other schools are coming in.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's a lot of teams from all over
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: that's kind of cannibalizing on Misissippi talent.
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's It was this summer we had the Big
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: d tackle. He said, hey, Oregon State wants me to come.
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: He said, I've never been that far. He said, hey, man,
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: if you're ready to go, go yeah. And he said
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: all right. And I talked to him the other day.
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: They don't start last September fourteen. They already play three
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: ball games before they ever go to class. So he's
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: trying to fill his day up with practice and lifting
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: weights and getting ready for the ball games.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Visiting with the coach Raider. He is the defensive coordinator
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: here at Pearl. Wednesday edition of Your Program was talking
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: to Coach school earlier. You guys were in just about
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: every ball game last year except I think one where
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: it kind of got control and spiraled. Those things happened.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: When you look at Pearl defensively, you guys have always
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: been really tough, really hard. I mean offensively, line of
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: scrimmage football team. I would expect more of that this year.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: Kind of take us through, you know, some of the
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: troubles last year. I mean, but again defensively, you went
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: down to Pedal, won a big game late late in
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: the year, had a chance against Oak Grove. A lot
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: of people felt like Yell were fixing to literally get
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: jumped right into the playoffs. How that maybe has motivated
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: this group for this year.
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: Well, last year we was looking really good towards the
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: end and big running back Derrick Alexander heard his knees,
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: so he did. He missed the last three ball games
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: and he was a big part of the offense. And
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: when you lose him, you know, they stay on the field.
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: They keep the clock running, don't. We don't have to
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: be on the field as much. And that's always good
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: for a defense. Come out there fresh, which this year
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: he's going to be playing some linebackers, so I'm excited
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: about that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: I love talking modern day defense with cut defensive coordinators
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: versus you know, ten years ago, because it's so hard,
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: or at least I would perceive it to be, to
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: teach in a game that's Now you can't lock guys
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: up at corner, right, you can't grab and touch, you
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: can't hit the quarterback. You know, if you do, it's
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: it's got to be the right kind of hit. When
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: we see that in the National Football League every Sunday.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: How do you teach physicality in twenty twenty six.
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: Well, it's still the same old like in high school.
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: Now you don't have quite as many rules. You know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: as long as you do everything between the whistle is
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: still good. Sure, but you know, like did in practice.
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: You know you still got a hit in practice. You know,
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: we don't want to get him money injured, but you
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: still you still got to go out there and get
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: after it most days. So leading up to the games
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: Monday and tuesas usually we get after it pretty good.
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: Wednesdays Thursday, will starts slowing down. But the only way
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: to be physical is to go out there and practice
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: and be physical as much as you can.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: What about tackling and space, It seems like at least
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: for me, and I know you and I've talked about
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: this to point over here at rod Is and you look,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: you said a lot in college, some bad tackling in
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: open space, you know, angles, taking bad approach angles, just
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: whiffing on tackles. How do you teach that to these
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: young guys.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: Well, we do tackling drills every week and we throw
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: the ball out there and we tell the offensive guy,
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: like you got from the hash to the sideline, and like,
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: defensive guy, let's get them down. Like we do openfield
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: tackling a good bit because football is not like it
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: used to be. We used to be in that little
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: box and it was all downhill. Now they're playing basketball
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: on the field where they throw it out there and
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: you get the best athlete they got on their team
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: one on one with your guy. So, you know, we
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: do a lot of that out here. We do a
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: lot of perimeter tackling. We do perimeter drills where they
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: throw it out there and we have to go make plays.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: We just try to wrap it up and practice as
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: much we can.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: You know, you mentioned going from a box to now
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: you're playing outside the hashes. We're seeing a movement in
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: college football. Just if you look at the last three years, oddly,
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: coming out of the Big Ten, Michigan, Ohio State, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: Indiana won national championships. They all were better line of
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: scrimmage teams. Than the teams they played Indiana last year.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: I can't remember. I think they were somewhere around six
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: yards per clip per carry, almost had a really good
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: per carry average last year. So it looks like we're
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: seeing a return to the run game a little bit
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: because you know, obviously defensive personnel is a little smaller,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: maybe at linebacker. How do you position personnel, you know,
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: in a Again, Friday night, you guys may come our
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: hair and play a team that's for wide and then
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: the next week you may play a team that's you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: playing two tight end, two running backs and you know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: twenty two personnel.
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: Well that's our job every Sunday to come in, you know,
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: make a game plan with the personnel we got. You know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: we're not college, so we have to play what we got.
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: So if one week we got to put all the
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: big guys in there and we got to stop the run,
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: and then the next week we got a blitz packages
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: and all the little guys and they're runn around trying
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: to chase the quarterback. It's just something we have to
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: get ready for every week. And every Monday I sit
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: down and go over you know, the game plan of
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: the week and also you know, Hey, what we're going
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: to expect, what we're going to see, and here's the
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: different things we're gonna have to do to stop that.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: What's the hardest coach defense, hardest position to coach in
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: defense today?
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: Uh? Probably secondary.
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: I still think a secondary that's the one that's the
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: big play, that's the one everybody sees. Yeah, just because
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: you know, whoever's back there, there's nowhere to hide.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: I thow that songing over the top and you don't
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: get it. Everybody's gonna be looking and you're just looking.
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: Like it was me. Everybody knows it was you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Is it harder to get safeties? I've always wondered
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: this because depending on what you're you know, matching, if
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: you're running man, maybe you're running some zone, maybe you're
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: doing some you know kind of quasi cloud or whatever
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: you're doing to get safeties to trust the corners? Are
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: the corners to trust the safeties?
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: Well, one thing is try to make it as simple
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: as possible where they don't get messed up.
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: That is the worst thing in the world. When one
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: thing they got deep, in other things they got deep.
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: Nobody gets deep and all of sudden you gotta going
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: down sideline and they both look at each other, and
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: then everybody is looking at you because apparently you did
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: something that they don't understand. Right, So just reponant practice
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: and making sure that they understand what you're going to do,
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: because we can make it as high take as we
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: want to, but they got to be able to understand
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: it on Friday night to be able to do it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: Finally, before we get to get out of here, we've
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: got a couple more minutes here with Coach Raider defensive
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: coordinator Pearl. Tell me a little bit about your defensive
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: side this year. What you're expecting to see.
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: Uh, well, we graduated all four linebackers from last year,
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: so we were robbing some from the offense to get
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: Derek over there. Derek Alexander over there gonna play the
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: inside linebacker position for us. And then you know, we
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: have two or three tenth graders got to step up
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: and play out there. And then we got a big
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: d lineman coming back, Marcus Steer. He's a big six
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: to one, three hundred pound guy that can move, so
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: that helps. And then we got the leader of our
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: secondary is Jaydon Thomas. He's got offered from d One
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: and Juco and he's a good little ball player back
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: there and he's gonna hit the one to make sure
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: communication on the back end is doing good.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: But you know, and coach Schuller talked about it being
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: young in some places. The non region schedule. Boy, you
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: can really see these guys kind of grow up in
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: five weeks. Catch you.
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we have no choice with the schedule. Yeah, we
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: have to.
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: You know, we got Madison next Thursday, and they're good
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: every year, and we know that we have to play
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: the best we can. Then after that we got Warren
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: Central and Clinton. You know, like we don't dodge anybody.
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: We go ahead and get it one of the getting's
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: good and then well, our district play. You know, we
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: have to be ready for everything by the time district
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: play comes because our district, you know, in my opinion,
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: is one of the best in the state of Misissippi.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: I think it's a lot of people's opinion.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: There's no doubt. There's no doubt it is. He has
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: raided our defensive coordinator for the Pearl Pirates. Coach, thank

  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, fantastic place. Ums Right's a really unique place.

• 22:00
  Speaker 6: one of the most prestigious schools in the Southeast. And
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: I got great leadership, a great vision, great facilities. You know,
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: I've been fortunate to have a couple of guys you
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: know that I've worked with come down through here. It's
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: an easy stop on the way of the beach, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: I've been able to show it off to them, and
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: you know, all of them are just wold by you
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: know what, what what we have and and the things
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: that the kids get to do every day. But man,
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: it's great football. Outside of that, you know, mobile area.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: There are tons of athletes down here. You know, if
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: you look at recruiting rankings, if you look at uh,
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: you know, top flight programs. I mean, there's a lot
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: of a lot of state championships that come out of
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: here every year and a lot of UH, nationally recognized
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: programs and for sure regionally recognized programs in here. You know,
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: you and SHRI itself has got eight state championships, and
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: UH we're gonna have thirty combined on the field Friday
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: night with Jackson Preps. They'll be a pretty cool, pretty
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: cool deal in that regard.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Sam Williams on your radio head football coach ums, right,
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: they will be at Jackson Prep Friday night. If you
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: look for something that should be a great football game,
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: Alabama versus Mississippi style on Lakeland Drive, coach, talk a
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: little bit about the style of play you've seen in
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: the state of Alabama. We know what you like to do. Obviously,
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: hot tempo, get the ball up and down the field.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: But you know, and I bring it back to the
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: state of Mississippi, and you know this well because you
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: coached here for so many years. You could line up
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: against the team in four wide here in the state.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: You could line up against the team like picka Une
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: or Poplarville that's gonna you know, run two backs, you know,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: kind of twenty two personnel. Is it similar in the
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: state of Alabama. It's kind of the smorgasbord or the
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: kind of style of play you guys are seeing down there.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: I mean, I would just say it's pretty pretty traditional stuff.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's a lot of spread down here. I'm
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: not saying you never see anything else, but you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: you've got everything from you know, Philip Rivers over at
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: Saint Michael's, they run a little more of a pro
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: style offense. I mean literally, he'll tell you when he
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: went and play for the Indianapolis Colts this year, it
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: was the stuff that they were running with the sun
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: in high school football to your traditional high school spreads.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: You know, same thing. Defensively, I mean, i'd say a
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: majority of teams down here we're still seeing you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: probably more odd front that way they can build a
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: little more looks. But you know, football's football, man. It's
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: like you're always getting that whole comparison thing about his
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: Alabama better missive be better. I've had that question a lot.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, there's good football coaches everywhere, there's good football everywhere,
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: and we all know that the players are the ones
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: that make you look good anyway. So at the end
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: of the day, if you got those whatever you're doing
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: looks a lot better.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: You guys travel to Lakeland Drive, Floywood Place obviously that
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: you're very familiar with. Kind of take us through how
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: that's this ball game with Jackson Prep came about for
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: you guys.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's been a lot of changes in the association
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: in Alabama with you know, public and private splitting when
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: we get to the playoffs, So it just kind of
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: opened up the doors to you know, start looking at
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: future games you know possible, you never know what happens
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: down the road with alliances across states and things like that.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: And actually had conversations with m R. A. J. A
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: and Prep at different points in time and you know,
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: trying to find a way to fit into the schedule.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: So it was kind of cool to kind of connect
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: with those guys, you know, have some conversations and you know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: glad we landed on Prep. Glad that was kind of
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: the ones that works out because I think it's probably
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: the school in the metro that club is the most
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: close and mirrors ums right.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: And of course you guys will be traveling up. We'll
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: talk about that trip here in just a bit. We're
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: visioning with Sam Williams, head football coach ums right as
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: they travel to Jackson Prep on Friday night to open
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: the twenty twenty sixth season. Take us through what your
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: team looks like this year for those that'll get out
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: to the ball game and see you guys versus Jackson
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: Prepp this weekend.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean very much a team that grew up
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: last year. You know, we had a very young offense.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: We'll have a three year startup quarterback, five senior receivers,
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: two return running backs. They will only be juniors and sophomores,
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: and we're breaking in five new offensive linemen. So a
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: group that kind of tell is either the front of
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: the or the out wide, whatever you want to look
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: at it. But I'm very good at the skill. I'm
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: gonna have a lot of athletes, a lot of talent there,
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: a lot of guys that can make plays. And then
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: we got to figure out how fast we can grow
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: to those guys up, THROWNT up to get to the
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: level we know they can and then defensively return a
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: few less guys. But we feel like we have a
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: better unit overall on that side of the ball, got
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: a little more athletic, got some guys that we think
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: can make some play. So it'll be a fun game.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's I told somebody today, it's kind of funny.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: I could I watched Jackson Prepp last year and watched US.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: You could have stopped our jerseys and you wo no
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: difference in the two teams. It's just so similar, and
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: the style will play the kids, So it'll be it'll
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: be pretty fun, uh for any neutral observer that comes
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: and checks that one out. I think it'll be, uh,
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: a two way battle and one that you know you
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: kind of can't call into the fourth quarter. I fully anticipate, UH,
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: and to anticipate to be a full quarter battle.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: And you talk about having a three year starter at quarterback.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: You know this.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: You've coached some really good quarterbacks and been able to
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: tutelage a lot of good young quarterbacks. To have a
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: three year starter a guy now two years in the offense, boy,
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: that makes a difference. Done it.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: It makes a huge difference. And for him, you know,
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: it was a very much a run first offense before,
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: you know, real old school smash mouth and so you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: really last year was his first year to play quarterback
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: in a in a spread offense, and you know kind
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: of have some you know how we how we did it?
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: Brandon and did before that, just you know, the quarterbacks
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: got a lot of autonomy. You know, he's able to
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: kind of control the game if you may. And so
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: for him, you know, now where he last year, he
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: was trying to figure out what he needed to do,
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: and uh, you know, just just getting base level knowledge.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Now I feel like he's got the answers to the
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: offense and he knows how to get us in the
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: right place, which is gonna be really fun to watch
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: him go out and perform.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: And what would be your travel accommodations for Friday? How
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: are you guys chindling that.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: Uh, stay out of the sun and on the travel
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: down and on the charter bus as long as possible.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: I mean it's nine hundred degrees, you know, Norman, on
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: a pool like this, you tries to stop halfway into
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: a walk through. But I mean we'd have to we'd
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: have to bring three chains of clothes if we did that.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: So we're just gonna get to Jackson prep a little earlier.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: I leave about one, get there about four thirty, and uh,
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: just to our preparations there. But man, that it's gonna
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: be a hot one and you know that, Jake, and
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: but we'll be we'll be ready to roll.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. It has been brutal across
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: the South. It feels like a little bit hotter this
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: year than recent years. How how do you prepare a
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: team on you know, for Friday nights, for you know,
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: for the elements suck what you guys are going to see.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think I think we've done a
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: really good job of that. And you know, obviously in
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: Mississippi it's hot, just like it is in Alabama. It's
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: just a humidity down here, so much different. It always
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: feels like it's just it doesn't matter if we practice
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: in the morning or afternoon, it always feels like the
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: air so thick. But I think our kids are in
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: a really good spot. You know, we've practiced the way
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: we play. We've gotten up to a you know, sixty
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: play scrimmage with our varsity kids, So I feel like
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: they're ready. You know, they're conditioned. We've got a great
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: training staff here that does a good job not just
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: in the weight room but also in the training room
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: of keeping these guys available and prepared. So I've got
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: very very little concern with that part of it, you
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: know what I mean.

• 31:08
  Speaker 5: a few minutes with us for he's got to go
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: pick up some children. Coach. That's the most important thing
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: is that is that pick up line, trying to get
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: those kids out of school and all that stuff. How
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: are you?
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, man, something we experienced every single day.
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: And the funny thing is is, you know the first
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: two weeks when school starts, you know, everybody's trying to
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: get the routine down. And I want to say I
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: was probably leaving at six fifteen to go get both of.
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: My boys dropped off at their school.
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: And I want to say we were probably done with
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: drop off around seven thirty, and you know, I was like, Okay,
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: is this gonna be every day hour right now? But
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: you know, weeks go on, Oh it's quicker and better,
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: more efficient.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 31:43
  Speaker 9: Now it's like a twenty minute. I text my wife today,
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: I was like, man.
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: That's twenty minutes. Fifteen minutes, both kids dropped off. I'm
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: even really for work.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: So perfect perfect yep. Speaking of time and if things
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: get better with efficiency, Obviously you've done offensive football for
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: a long time back at Pearl, previous stint here when
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: coach Perry was here. What made Pearl right for you
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: to come back for a second time?
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: Man, there's a lot of there's a lot of answers
• 32:05
  Speaker 9: I could give you for that question, man, really, you know,
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: and the one that stands out to me the most,
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: that just comes from the heart, is it's like a
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: family environment for me. I tell people all the time
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: when I when I took this job again, when I
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: came back, I tell people all the time, I never
• 32:21
  Speaker 9: had a bad day at Pearl, no matter what in
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: the classroom, on the football field. I never remember coming
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: home and just felt like, man, that was a bad day.
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: There might have been bad moments, but I don't. I
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: don't think I've ever had a bad day. And you know,
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: just my first stint here, I felt like, you know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: I felt like just the platform that I had to
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: make an impact man, that was just special. And you know,
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: and the people here from the administration to the coaching staff,
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: to the kids, to the community, they make it a
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: special place.
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: So you know, you can't ask for a better place
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: to be in my opinion.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: Take us through what this may look like for you
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: guys this year kind of a kind of a coach
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: Caleb Kelly offense and what people will see with that, right.
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, So you know, the biggest thing for me is
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: identity and having that identity, and for me, it's just
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: it's a downhill physical offense, you know, not being scared,
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: not being scared, to run between the tackles and however
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: way possible we can do that, we do that or
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: whatever formation. So you know, uh, I would like to
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: I would like to say we're multiple as far as
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: personnel goes, but you know, at the end of the day,
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: we're going to be a heavy gap scheme team.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Visit with Caleb Kelly. He is the offensive coordinator here
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: at Pearl Pirates open up next Thursday night against Madison
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Central right here at Pirates Stadium. Of course, Uh, Coach,
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: when you look at it at this group of Pirates,
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: kind of take us through you talk about gap scheme
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: and running the football. Pearl has always been, you know,
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: prior to when you were here, When you were here
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: the first a very physical football team. We've talked about
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: that today is to me, that's the Pearl identity is
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: physical line of scrimmage football. This group of Pirates tell
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: us a little bit about them.
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: You know, you hit the nail on the head is
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: you know, when you think Pearl, you think physical and
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: tough downhill run game. And you know that's been the
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: biggest goal of the spring coming into the fall is
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: trying to you know, relive that identity and in our
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: current Pearl Pirates. But you know, so far with our
• 34:08
  Speaker 9: personnel and what we got now we've got some weapons
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: on offense.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: I've actually been super proud of our skill guys.
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: We have a number of guys I can name, you
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: know who are gonna be contributing this fall. But you
• 34:18
  Speaker 9: know you can't fail to mention the uh you know,
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: Derrick Alexander Peyton Parks.
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: And you know we've had quarterback Cruise Atwood.
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: First year behind the center, who's just stepped up, made
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: some amazing throws in the spring and has had an
• 34:30
  Speaker 9: awesome summer and seven on seven, So you know he's
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: gonna contribute greatly in that room of things as far
• 34:36
  Speaker 9: as football man, you know, to me, just the the
• 34:39
  Speaker 9: downhill run game and the personnel that we have, I
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: think we're gonna be really physical. But you know, we're
• 34:44
  Speaker 9: still in the work in progress right there. We're still
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: we're still developing in that area, and I think we're
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: gonna be there.
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: I believe we will be by by next week.
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: So you know, I'm I'm I like where we're at
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: right now.
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: Offensively, where where are you?
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: And of course the game has changed so much on
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: on tempo in offense. I mean you say, you know
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago and I say two five, six,
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: seventy two years ago, when tempo came on, everybody said, okay,
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: we're gonna go the old Buffalo Bills two minute offense.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: You've remember back in the day with Jim Kelly. Now
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: everybody's running, you know, rip and running sideline to sideline.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: Then that kind of slowed down a little bit, got
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: some teams in trouble. Yeah. I remember when Kevin Someone
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: was at Texas A and M. They were such a
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: high tempo offense, but it was getting their defense in
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: some precarious situation, so kind of wear you with tempo.
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: You know, back in prior to my Stinton oxipator, I
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: was a you know, I loved it. I was a
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: big tempo guy and I thought and I and honestly,
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: looking at tempo, I think is appropriate at certain times
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: of the game.
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: You know, just like you said, you don't want to
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: exhaust defense.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: And you know where I've been, You've played eleven guys
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: on both sides of the ball. So really tempo got
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: thrown out the window from me four years ago.
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: For four years.
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: So you know, we've been a really a quick muddle, huddle,
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: break and get to the line of scrimmage down here
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: run team the last four years.
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: Just because we would have been at smaller schools.
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: But you know, we've had the ability to get into
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: tempo to go attack. And you know, I love it, man,
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: You know I love this it on Saturdays. But you know,
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: to me, it's all about your personnel, what you have.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: Can you do it?
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: Can you can you efficiently do it? If you can,
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: you know, hats off to you do it. But you know,
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: to me, I love it, but I think it's appropriate
• 36:14
  Speaker 9: at certain times of the game.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: He is Caleb Kelly, the offensive coordinator, Hitt Pearl, Coach.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: I know you got obligations to fulfill. I told you
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: five to seven. That's where we're at.
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: So look, man, look it's been great. I've enjoyed it.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: I can do this all day, honestly.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Well we'll do it again for sure. Best of luck
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: this year, coach. Thank you so much. Coach. Caleb Kelly,
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: offensive coordinator. Here at Pearl on your radio. As we
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: get closer to the end of our number two. We
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: got a few minutes here and I'll catch you up
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: on some notes. Wild story out of the state of Tennessee.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: A sixteen year old Tennessee girl has been charged with
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: assault after running onto a football field in the middle
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: of a game in tackling a middle school player. The
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: videos here, I just shared it on ex to Clinton
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: body Shop x feed at Jake wim and literally it's
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: kind of a subscribe or excuse me described the again.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: You can go watch it. The play is over, there's
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: a flag thrown and this girl runs out onto the
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: field and she literally tackles a player. And this girl
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: ain't big as nothing. Now, she's probably five three, five four,
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: maybe one hundred and ten pounds. She's wearing some shorts
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: and a you know, just a normal shirt, and she
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: literally runs out on the field, off the sideline, tackles
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: a guy. When the guy gets up, she pushes him
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: down again. They may need to suit this girl up.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: This is I mean, he's a crazy, crazy video. I
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: don't think I've seen that. I mean, it's you know,
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: especially out of a female. But nonetheless something she didn't like.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: She did it also real quickly, here's some other news
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: that's out here that we haven't gotten to. We'll get
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: into this in hour number three from Matt Zenitz. Former
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: LSU in current Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jack Pyburn
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: has filed a lawsuit today against the NCAA seeking a
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: preliminary injunction that would give him the option to return
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: to college football, per reports obtained from several Chris Hummer
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: being one, as he is looking to get back on
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: the field. That's edge Jack Pyburn and current Tampa Bay
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: Buccaneers defensive end and again talking to some of the
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: coaches here a pearl about this and just talking shop.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: You know, this puts teams in such a precarious situation
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: because Let's say he wants to come back to LSU.
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: He can come back to LSU. Well, LSU plays Clemson
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: in like ten days, So what would Lane Kiffin even
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: do with that? I mean, you're gonna have to cut somebody.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: Do you have a spot that what the court system
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: has done this year has really I mean the mu
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: the waters already murky and mucky in college sports, but this,
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: this whole new rule has really just muddy the waters.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: Also looking at some more Ben Garrett reports Zavian Harris
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: and they Kwon Wright are listed as well and wanting
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: to come back to LSU. I mean, right here at
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: the end. And I think what you're seeing though, is
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: guys that see the writing on the wall in the NFL.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: They're in camps, they're probably gonna get cut, they're not
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: gonna make the fifty three man roster, and they know
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: they're not gonna get paid unless they get on a
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: practice squad. And that's pennies on the dollar compared to
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: what you could make in college. So they're wanting to
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: wanting to come back. Also, Adam Schefter reporting Giants claim
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: defensive tackle Ben Barton off waivers from the Jets. The
