Transcript
- 0:15Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome into the Bothel Football Coaches Show. I'm
- 0:18Speaker 1: your host, Ryland Spencer, along with me as always the
- 0:20Speaker 1: head coach of the Bathla Cougar's Tom Baker coach.
- 0:22Speaker 2: How we doing doing great? Ryland, good morning, Good morning
- 0:25Speaker 2: to you.
- 0:25Speaker 1: This is a week seven podcasts. We will be talking
- 0:27Speaker 1: about last week's freshman game versus Woodinville, JV game against
- 0:31Speaker 1: Mount Sig and the varsity win over Mount Side. As
- 0:35Speaker 1: a matter of fact, clean sweet for the Cougs. This
- 0:37Speaker 1: last week, three games, three wins. So we will start
- 0:40Speaker 1: with the freshman team. The freshman Coog's got a fifty
- 0:43Speaker 1: one twenty win over Woodinville last Wednesday, another tremendous night
- 0:47Speaker 1: from running back Tyler Wells four touchdowns. Coach Lago specifically
- 0:51Speaker 1: shouted out the offensive line, so let's give a little
- 0:53Speaker 1: credit to those guys with Liam Sherbert, Gavin Nicholson, Jay Parrish,
- 0:57Speaker 1: Archer Purvis, Brendan Bara and Quinn Brian, who I believe
- 1:01Speaker 1: is a tight end. But those guys out there making blocks.
- 1:04Speaker 1: When you look at the offense and look at the future, coach,
- 1:06Speaker 1: it's got to be fun to be able to watch
- 1:08Speaker 1: those guys kind of have some success at the freshman level.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we watch these guys. A lot of
- 1:13Speaker 2: them came out of the youth program. You know, we
- 1:15Speaker 2: don't always get that anymore, and so a lot of
- 1:17Speaker 2: football experience, and that's what you hope for when they
- 1:20Speaker 2: enter into your freshman year. Coach the Go and his
- 1:22Speaker 2: staff does a great job, as I've always stated, and
- 1:25Speaker 2: you know, they make football fun for those kids, and
- 1:27Speaker 2: they teach them the game, and they do a great
- 1:29Speaker 2: job of you know, togetherness. And yeah, they're they're they're
- 1:32Speaker 2: playing good football and they've got good, good games. They
- 1:36Speaker 2: play some tough opponents this year, and they're they're doing
- 1:39Speaker 2: a wonderful job of competing and and most of the
- 1:42Speaker 2: time winning. So it's been fun to watch.
- 1:44Speaker 1: It's nice about to see a bounce back like that
- 1:46Speaker 1: as well after kind of taking one on the chin
- 1:48Speaker 1: the week before. But you know, the resiliency and and
- 1:51Speaker 1: just the ability to continue to go Wednesday night lights
- 1:55Speaker 1: don't always have the biggest crowds, but these guys are
- 1:58Speaker 1: out there battling. It's a lot of fun to watch.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Let's talk. I was going to say last night, it
- 2:04Speaker 1: would be two nights ago when we post this, but
- 2:06Speaker 1: Monday night, JV Koog's incredible twenty two to twenty comeback
- 2:11Speaker 1: win over Mount SiGe at home. Coach, you were there.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I think we should just basically jump right to the
- 2:17Speaker 1: final drive. It was twenty. Mount Side was leading twenty
- 2:21Speaker 1: twenty twenty to fourteen. Kog's get the ball, and what
- 2:28Speaker 1: I've been told is Griffin Taylor in, Griffin Taylor out.
- 2:33Speaker 1: You told me he had four catches on the drive.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Take me through that last drive and kind of what
- 2:37Speaker 1: went on to to spark a comeback win.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it was an improbable win. It was
- 2:42Speaker 2: tied up. We threw a screen that was just a
- 2:44Speaker 2: little overthrown for a pick six, and then we didn't
- 2:47Speaker 2: score on our next drive. They get the ball and
- 2:49Speaker 2: come down and you know, there's minutes left in the
- 2:52Speaker 2: game or less, and we have to, you know, use
- 2:55Speaker 2: our three timeouts and get a stop. And we do
- 2:57Speaker 2: that defense holds him. They they're kind of in our
- 3:01Speaker 2: side of the fifty, so they throw on fourth down
- 3:05Speaker 2: instead of punt. We get pretty good field position. And
- 3:07Speaker 2: then it was the you know, the Griffin Taylor Show
- 3:10Speaker 2: and the Colin dun Show. They they connected on three
- 3:13Speaker 2: consecutive balls to the right side. They were there were
- 3:18Speaker 2: two pi's against Griffin Taylor that further moved the ball down.
- 3:22Speaker 2: And then of course we we throw the touchdown pass
- 3:26Speaker 2: with I want to say, seven or eight seconds to go,
- 3:29Speaker 2: and you know, neither team were kicking extra point, so
- 3:32Speaker 2: you're you're it's twenty nineteen or twenty all and we
- 3:37Speaker 2: go for two, and they cover Griffin Taylor and and
- 3:41Speaker 2: you know, we get we get an out route by
- 3:44Speaker 2: Grady Harriman and and really he's kind of covered, but
- 3:46Speaker 2: Colin Dunn throws the ball in the back corner of
- 3:48Speaker 2: the end zone and Grady makes a great adjustment, catches
- 3:52Speaker 2: the ball with both feet in and and you know,
- 3:54Speaker 2: spectacular win and excitement, and you know, you know, at
- 3:58Speaker 2: the same time, the Mariners are playing and the Seahawks
- 4:01Speaker 2: are playing, and the Kraken had already played. And I'm
- 4:03Speaker 2: telling you, maybe the best game of all of them
- 4:05Speaker 2: was right there at Babel High School.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I did post on social media that it was the
- 4:10Speaker 1: biggest Monday night game in the area, and it sounds
- 4:14Speaker 1: like it was, I mean, a tremendous just you know,
- 4:18Speaker 1: comeback win twenty two to twenty over Mount Size, so
- 4:21Speaker 1: good for the JV Koogs. Let's talk varsity game. Thirty
- 4:24Speaker 1: to fifteen win on the road at Mount Sai. You
- 4:27Speaker 1: and I had talked about it last week about you know,
- 4:30Speaker 1: going out to Mount Sai and you know, it's cold,
- 4:32Speaker 1: it's loud, the band is crazy. By the way, their
- 4:34Speaker 1: band was phenomenal on Friday night. But the student section,
- 4:38Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed it. As we were
- 4:40Speaker 1: pulling up over an hour before the game, one entire
- 4:43Speaker 1: section of their student section was already there.
- 4:45Speaker 2: I saw that.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that was really cool. I you know,
- 4:48Speaker 1: as a look at the end of the day, I
- 4:51Speaker 1: think we're all fans of high school football, so to
- 4:53Speaker 1: see something like that as you're pulling up is really
- 4:55Speaker 1: cool to see. And I will say tremendous hospitality from
- 4:59Speaker 1: the Mount Sai administrators, their coaches. Just it's so much
- 5:02Speaker 1: fun playing those guys and out there. But let's get
- 5:05Speaker 1: into the game. Like I said, thirty to fifteen win.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Another great effort from the offensive line of the running backs.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I notice it when we watch film as a team,
- 5:15Speaker 1: you kind of have a little more joy in your
- 5:17Speaker 1: voice as you're kind of pointing some things out. Sometimes
- 5:19Speaker 1: you start to play with Oh, guys, this here is great.
- 5:23Speaker 1: You guys have got is. It become a lot of
- 5:25Speaker 1: fun just watching film when you're alone by yourself doing
- 5:28Speaker 1: it at home.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, I've stated this many times. It's way
- 5:34Speaker 2: easier to grade film after a win than after a loss.
- 5:36Speaker 2: And yeah, there'll be times and I'll start giggling or
- 5:40Speaker 2: laughing and Christina will come into the office and go,
- 5:42Speaker 2: what's so funny? I go watch this hit right here,
- 5:44Speaker 2: watch this knockout or kick out right And it was
- 5:47Speaker 2: such a physical game, you know. I want to tell
- 5:49Speaker 2: you it was probably our most complete football game all
- 5:52Speaker 2: the way around. And I would also tell you that
- 5:56Speaker 2: Mount Side probably played their best game. It was really
- 5:59Speaker 2: physical up front. You know, people don't understand that you
- 6:03Speaker 2: can be physical on offense, and we certainly are. And
- 6:06Speaker 2: you know, just from the get go there were kickout
- 6:09Speaker 2: blocks and lead up blocks and double downs and people
- 6:13Speaker 2: were just getting moved and so it was really fun
- 6:15Speaker 2: to see, you know, like you know, like you said,
- 6:19Speaker 2: I love going to Mount Side. I it was my
- 6:21Speaker 2: first permanent job. I taught there and gosh, ninety four,
- 6:25Speaker 2: ninety five, ninety six football seasons and I've always felt
- 6:29Speaker 2: welcome there, and you're right. They do a wonderful job
- 6:31Speaker 2: and their staff is full of great coaches who have
- 6:34Speaker 2: been been around the state in different places and done
- 6:37Speaker 2: great things and won and so great football game. Really
- 6:40Speaker 2: proud of our kids. Loved how we got a lead,
- 6:45Speaker 2: Love how we extended it, Love how we blocked the
- 6:48Speaker 2: field goal right before the half. And like I said,
- 6:51Speaker 2: special teams, offense, defense, you know, a total team win
- 6:55Speaker 2: and we're seeing great improvement. It's fun.
- 6:58Speaker 1: I think we got to give maybe little credit to
- 7:00Speaker 1: the defense as well. This is a defense, uh, you know,
- 7:03Speaker 1: kind of a whole new defense this year in terms of,
- 7:07Speaker 1: you know, what we are trying to accomplish. I guess
- 7:09Speaker 1: maybe not acomlished because you're away trying to shut them out,
- 7:11Speaker 1: but what we're doing. The kids have absolutely bought into it,
- 7:16Speaker 1: and they have from day one. But you start looking
- 7:19Speaker 1: at some of the things that Mount Sai is really
- 7:21Speaker 1: good at, and the defense was kind of able to
- 7:23Speaker 1: shut something, you know, quite a few of those things down,
- 7:25Speaker 1: and you know, at the end of the game, you know,
- 7:28Speaker 1: we've talked about it before, at the end of the
- 7:29Speaker 1: game when you need somebody to make a play Carlon
- 7:32Speaker 1: Gaughner interception, Carson Anderson interception on on two drives where
- 7:37Speaker 1: Mountside could have really come down and make things tough
- 7:39Speaker 1: on us.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we got a we had a young
- 7:43Speaker 2: defense to begin with, or inexperienced is probably a better word.
- 7:47Speaker 2: And uh, and then we have two you know, co
- 7:50Speaker 2: coordinators who are doing their first time you know, coordinated
- 7:54Speaker 2: a defense. And man, I'll tell you the improvements we've
- 7:56Speaker 2: made weekly. Uh, they're they're their coaching and up really well.
- 8:00Speaker 2: We're fixing weaknesses and making them stronger. We're adding you
- 8:04Speaker 2: know a little scheme, techniques of a stunt, a coverage change, uh,
- 8:09Speaker 2: to fit our opponent. They're doing a wonderful job of
- 8:13Speaker 2: creating an atmosphere where we've split to the football and
- 8:17Speaker 2: care and you certainly saw that on on Friday night.
- 8:20Speaker 2: And yeah, our players are playing really good football and
- 8:23Speaker 2: really proud of them. Had two big stops there at
- 8:26Speaker 2: the end, and both both of them prevented a score
- 8:29Speaker 2: that made it a one score game that you know,
- 8:32Speaker 2: an Onside gets them the ball and and you know
- 8:34Speaker 2: we you know, who knows what happens after that. So
- 8:37Speaker 2: really proud of our defense and our and our defensive coaches.
- 8:39Speaker 2: They're doing a wonderful job. Yeah.
- 8:41Speaker 1: And I guess just to wrap up the varsity game
- 8:43Speaker 1: report here, I think another tremendous crowd that we had.
- 8:48Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's small, it's a small seating
- 8:53Speaker 1: venue if you will, for the visitors out there at
- 8:55Speaker 1: Mount SAI. And it's quite a drive, especially on a
- 8:57Speaker 1: Friday night. There's there's traffic, there's other things going on.
- 9:00Speaker 1: And I mean, I believe where the Mariners playing on
- 9:04Speaker 1: Friday they were playing. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, I mean,
- 9:08Speaker 1: you know, again a shout out to you know, the
- 9:10Speaker 1: koog fans and the Blue Train student section out there
- 9:14Speaker 1: doing their thing and showing up in red, white and blue.
- 9:17Speaker 1: It was very America out there, if you will. But again,
- 9:20Speaker 1: thirty to fifteen win on the road at Mount SI.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Let's talk players of the week. The offensive and defensive
- 9:25Speaker 1: Players of the Week are brought to you by Team
- 9:26Speaker 1: Breda and Mellan being Chief's real Estate. Your local real
- 9:29Speaker 1: estate experts contact Steve en Mellon at two oh six
- 9:32Speaker 1: ninety nine nine for all your real estate needs. Steven
- 9:35Speaker 1: Millan have two just awesome partners here for the offensive
- 9:39Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Week. The winning athletes will receive
- 9:43Speaker 1: a forty dollars gift card to either Passion Tequila Family
- 9:45Speaker 1: Mexican restaurant or Alexis Cafe and catering to local Baffel favorites.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Let's start with the defense. This week's selection. This is
- 9:52Speaker 1: coming from Steven Mellon here. This week's selections seemed to
- 9:56Speaker 1: be in the right spot at the right time, with
- 9:58Speaker 1: great effort throughout the game, all so against a very
- 10:01Speaker 1: physical team. Defensive Player of the Game is number forty
- 10:04Speaker 1: two senior Carson Hopkins.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, Carson's one of those kids that we
- 10:08Speaker 2: just talked about how they're developing from week to week
- 10:11Speaker 2: to week. He's not the largest inside linebacker in our league,
- 10:14Speaker 2: but man, he's athletic and he gets to his spot
- 10:17Speaker 2: and he's tough. He made a great tackle, you know
- 10:21Speaker 2: in the Bellevue game to keep a kid in bounds
- 10:23Speaker 2: or to move him inside so that you know, the
- 10:25Speaker 2: clock would keep running. He's a smart kid. He understands,
- 10:31Speaker 2: you know, his role and what we're doing. He fixes
- 10:33Speaker 2: things back there, and so really happy for him and
- 10:36Speaker 2: watching his growth as an inside backer. And you know,
- 10:39Speaker 2: coach China does a great job with him on a
- 10:41Speaker 2: weekly basis, and he's just he keeps getting better.
- 10:43Speaker 1: It's fun on offense. They want to say another tip
- 10:46Speaker 1: of the hat to the running backs on the offensive
- 10:48Speaker 1: line this week with a solid game. I would maybe
- 10:50Speaker 1: say solid is a little bit of an understatement, but
- 10:53Speaker 1: this week's player made some catches on the night in
- 10:56Speaker 1: pivotal spots and also ran in a touchdown. He even
- 10:59Speaker 1: made a great catch on defense with an interception. The
- 11:02Speaker 1: offensive player of the game number two junior wide receiver
- 11:04Speaker 1: Carlyn Gackner.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Yeah, he's explosive out there. And you know that third
- 11:08Speaker 2: down and six, we gained fifteen to keep the drive going.
- 11:12Speaker 2: That extends the lead to two touchdowns. Again, was important
- 11:16Speaker 2: to reverse you know at the you know, at the
- 11:19Speaker 2: right moment to get into the end zone. And you know,
- 11:21Speaker 2: he's an athletic kid, and he's you know, he's struggling
- 11:24Speaker 2: a little bit with with some you know, ten and
- 11:26Speaker 2: stuff that kids get when they grow and he's been tough,
- 11:30Speaker 2: tough as nails, and he does a good job of
- 11:32Speaker 2: just you know, fighting through it. And you know, I
- 11:35Speaker 2: would tell you that that you know, Matt did a
- 11:38Speaker 2: great job as well. Matt Small had a ninety five
- 11:40Speaker 2: percent score, completed over fifty percent of his passes. We
- 11:44Speaker 2: had a couple of drops, but he did a really
- 11:46Speaker 2: good job of controlling the offense too, And so happy
- 11:49Speaker 2: for those guys. You know, we're known for a run
- 11:51Speaker 2: and you know, rightfully so, but we're starting to throw
- 11:54Speaker 2: the ball a little better and that will help us
- 11:56Speaker 2: down the road.
- 11:58Speaker 1: You know, another thing with Carlin I I think, you know,
- 12:02Speaker 1: defense has not always been something I would say. You know,
- 12:05Speaker 1: he loves getting the ball, he loves being a receiver,
- 12:07Speaker 1: and I don't blame him, he's really really good, but
- 12:10Speaker 1: I think he's really stepped up at times and played
- 12:13Speaker 1: well defensively. It's maybe not in his mentality to get
- 12:17Speaker 1: up and be truly physical on the defensive side, but
- 12:19Speaker 1: he's also kind of done some of that.
- 12:21Speaker 2: You know he has, and you know the physicality part
- 12:24Speaker 2: is important. We're blocking better on the perimeter, you know,
- 12:27Speaker 2: with those guys don't always get the credit for the
- 12:29Speaker 2: long runs, and you know, we always look where the
- 12:32Speaker 2: point of attack is. But you know, our coaches, Coach
- 12:36Speaker 2: Bergs from coach Wilson have done a wonderful job of
- 12:39Speaker 2: making sure that our kids get down the field and
- 12:41Speaker 2: block that third level and we have seen it just
- 12:44Speaker 2: increase in their ability to stay on blocks laid into
- 12:48Speaker 2: the play. And you know, Carlon does that, and all
- 12:51Speaker 2: of our receivers are doing that right now. But it's
- 12:53Speaker 2: noticeable we're becoming more physical and it's really happening at
- 12:56Speaker 2: the right time.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's something that can turn a you know,
- 13:00Speaker 1: it might seem insignificant to some people, but that can
- 13:02Speaker 1: turn a ten yard run into a thirteen or a
- 13:05Speaker 1: fourteen yard run or you know, there's a couple of
- 13:07Speaker 1: them that we saw on film this week where you
- 13:10Speaker 1: kind of pointed it out, like guys get hit eleven
- 13:12Speaker 1: yards downfield and then manages to go for another you know, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
- 13:18Speaker 1: ten yards at times. And some of that I think
- 13:20Speaker 1: also comes from the receivers doing their job on the
- 13:23Speaker 1: outside and those those corners or those safeties aren't getting
- 13:26Speaker 1: into the tackle until a little bit later. Yeah, you know,
- 13:29Speaker 1: And so it's it's an all around team effort at
- 13:31Speaker 1: all times. I mean, it's not just the running backs
- 13:33Speaker 1: on the offensive line and those receivers. When you look
- 13:35Speaker 1: at their improvement from week one to week seven has
- 13:38Speaker 1: truly been tremendous. So yeah, congratulations to Carlon and Carson
- 13:43Speaker 1: for their forty dollars gift cards. I'm not sure which
- 13:46Speaker 1: ones they're getting, but they're getting some forty dollars gift cards.
- 13:48Speaker 1: I know I'd be pretty happy about those, because if
- 13:51Speaker 1: anybody's seen me, they know I love food. Let's talk
- 13:53Speaker 1: opponent preview this week, Coach. It's brought to you by
- 13:56Speaker 1: Passion Tequila. Family Mexican restaurant just a few blocks north
- 13:59Speaker 1: pop Keena Stadium and open seven days a week. Passion
- 14:01Speaker 1: Tequila is serving great food. You can enjoy it with
- 14:04Speaker 1: your family and friends. Road trip this week up to
- 14:07Speaker 1: the Plateau seven pm kickoff at Eastlake Boffel and Eastlake.
- 14:12Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like we talk about great battles
- 14:14Speaker 1: almost every single week. Since twenty nineteen, Boffel and Eastlake
- 14:18Speaker 1: have had technically speaking, two true Kinko Championship games crossing
- 14:22Speaker 1: over against each other. The last two years, though, I've
- 14:25Speaker 1: had Kinko Championships on the line. When you've met and
- 14:29Speaker 1: you know, twenty nineteen a tremendous win. Twenty twenty one,
- 14:32Speaker 1: I remember was quite possibly the most rain I've ever
- 14:35Speaker 1: seen at a football game. I was completely soaked through before
- 14:38Speaker 1: the game even started on the sideline. Twenty twenty three
- 14:44Speaker 1: would have been an overtime game up on the plateau.
- 14:47Speaker 1: And then last year, Diego Palamerica comes through with a
- 14:49Speaker 1: Kinko Championship winning you know, field goal and as time expires.
- 14:55Speaker 1: So you know, these two teams, great respect kind of
- 14:58Speaker 1: between the two, but also I don't know, a lot
- 15:02Speaker 1: of a lot of fighting out on the field and
- 15:05Speaker 1: a lot of crack scratching and klawn and some real
- 15:08Speaker 1: good battles though between these two.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And you know, if you've been around
- 15:12Speaker 2: long enough like me, you go back to the middle
- 15:14Speaker 2: two thousands, two, two thousand and six, two thousand and seven,
- 15:16Speaker 2: we're both ranked in the top five, and we had
- 15:18Speaker 2: epic battles. And it's always a tough thing to do
- 15:21Speaker 2: to go up on the plateau and play Eastlake. Shoot,
- 15:23Speaker 2: it's tough to play them at your own place. And
- 15:25Speaker 2: so really good athleticism physical again. Got a new coaching staff,
- 15:32Speaker 2: and you know sometimes new coaches, you know, takes an
- 15:35Speaker 2: adjustment time, change a scheme here and there, and you know,
- 15:39Speaker 2: so they're they're there. They've got some athleticism, some strength,
- 15:43Speaker 2: some speed, and there'll be a handful for sure, and
- 15:45Speaker 2: we're looking forward to it.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Yeah, the record probably doesn't tell you how good Eastlake
- 15:50Speaker 1: actually is. I believe they're three and four on the season,
- 15:55Speaker 1: but you know, kind of like what you said, it
- 15:56Speaker 1: takes that little bit of adjustment. But if you watch them,
- 15:58Speaker 1: I mean, they're playing really good foot ball. They're just
- 16:01Speaker 1: maybe not able to finish some games here or you know,
- 16:03Speaker 1: last week against Bellevue, that was I thought that was
- 16:05Speaker 1: a really really good football game. I thought it was
- 16:08Speaker 1: it was fun to by the way, I standing up
- 16:11Speaker 1: in the end zone at Bellevue. What a view you
- 16:13Speaker 1: have up there. I mean, maybe one of the best
- 16:15Speaker 1: views in Kinko to watch a football game. But yeah,
- 16:18Speaker 1: I mean, this is a team. There's a couple of
- 16:21Speaker 1: kids with the last name Johnson. I don't know if
- 16:22Speaker 1: they're related. I don't know exactly what it is, but
- 16:25Speaker 1: one of them, Colby Johnson, headed to the University of Colorado,
- 16:28Speaker 1: and you know, he missed a few games, but it's
- 16:30Speaker 1: starting to look like he's coming back kind of getting
- 16:33Speaker 1: into maybe game shape and stuff. And when you watch
- 16:35Speaker 1: that guy really fly around, man, he is a big,
- 16:37Speaker 1: physical presence, just like we saw last week with Knavel's root.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Yeah, you know he's he and number twenty. Those two
- 16:44Speaker 2: Johnson boys are unbelievable athletes, both returning first team All
- 16:49Speaker 2: Conference kids. You know, let's start with forty four. He's
- 16:53Speaker 2: a physical presence. He started off I think with a
- 16:55Speaker 2: back injury or so kept him limited a little bit.
- 16:58Speaker 2: He's been playing one side of the ball. Last he
- 17:00Speaker 2: played both, So hopefully that that continues through uh this weekend.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Because he is special, he's physical, he's fast, he understands
- 17:07Speaker 2: the game really well. He's everywhere, and uh, you know,
- 17:10Speaker 2: then you flip it onto your defense and then number
- 17:13Speaker 2: twenties in the backfield there, and it's hard to it's
- 17:17Speaker 2: hard to teach the angles you have to take with
- 17:20Speaker 2: this kid because he is so quick. He's fast and quick,
- 17:22Speaker 2: and that's a that's a scary combination when you're trying
- 17:26Speaker 2: to stop somebody. He can start stop on a dime,
- 17:29Speaker 2: he can go laterally, he hits a little seam and
- 17:32Speaker 2: he'll pop right through it. So, uh, we'll have our
- 17:35Speaker 2: handsful for sure. And you know, like I said earlier,
- 17:37Speaker 2: we are looking forward to this challenge. It's gonna be fun.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is, uh, this is what you get
- 17:42Speaker 1: in the top tier a Kinko. It's a weekend week out.
- 17:44Speaker 1: We've talked about it before. It's uh, it's tough. It's
- 17:48Speaker 1: it's a really tough game. There's there's no weeks where
- 17:50Speaker 1: you can just maybe step back and get a lot
- 17:53Speaker 1: of guys in, you know, in the in the second
- 17:55Speaker 1: half of a game, you have to really be focused
- 17:57Speaker 1: and really be going, you know, hundred and ten percent
- 18:01Speaker 1: every single week right through Kinko. I mean, it's just
- 18:04Speaker 1: it is what it is. But yeah, coach, that's all
- 18:06Speaker 1: I got for this week's show. Thank you for your time,
- 18:08Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you next week.
