- 1:05Speaker 1: it going.
- 1:08Speaker 2: It's good.
- 1:09Speaker 3: It's been uh if I feel like it's been a
- 1:11Speaker 3: long time since we've been doing this, uh since we've
- 1:15Speaker 3: been able to do this, but uh, now we're here.
- 1:17Speaker 2: And so lots to catch up on. But uh yeah,
- 1:21Speaker 2: Happy New Year.
- 1:21Speaker 3: It's a I don't think we can yell Happy New
- 1:23Speaker 3: Year anymore after today, like midway point January.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Technically you really can't anymore because we kind of like
- 1:31Speaker 1: passed the first like even week. Yeah, so yeah, I've
- 1:36Speaker 1: actually funny. I have a coworker he is one anti
- 1:41Speaker 1: saying Happy New Year past like one week after New
- 1:46Speaker 1: Year's Day, and I think that kind of I think
- 1:49Speaker 1: I'm leaning that direction too, like it's New Year's baby,
- 1:52Speaker 1: what we're already here.
- 1:54Speaker 3: I think I think it's like the awkward like I
- 1:57Speaker 3: haven't talked to you because you could got the dad
- 1:59Speaker 3: joke of hey, I haven't talked to you since last
- 2:01Speaker 3: year and produced then yeah, so.
- 2:05Speaker 1: True, true, But we we had a show since New Year,
- 2:09Speaker 1: so we've kind of already said that to everybody at
- 2:11Speaker 1: least once. So now it's getting really really awkward. Thank
- 2:13Speaker 1: you all for joining. We appreciate it. It's been a bit.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I know it's been a we missed about three shows.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I had a combination of I went to Dallas and
- 2:25Speaker 1: recorded a show for Locked On on their on the
- 2:29Speaker 1: College of Wall kickoff show on Amazon Fire TV. It
- 2:34Speaker 1: it was I appreciate it. I hung out with coach,
- 2:37Speaker 1: the twenty two time Coach of the Year, Gary Patterson,
- 2:40Speaker 1: as well as the former Cowboy and tar heeled Jesse Holly.
- 2:45Speaker 1: It was a great time, great time. So I got
- 2:47Speaker 1: to do that. Then I forgot what happened Sunday. Oh,
- 2:50Speaker 1: I traveled for work. I've been traveling from work since
- 2:53Speaker 1: Sunday and got home late last night, recovered and we're home,
- 2:59Speaker 1: but cooped. The big thing is is that you did
- 3:03Speaker 1: not get to talk about probably the biggest news that
- 3:06Speaker 1: hit before I left. We got a new tight end coach.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Oklahoma officially announced Jason Witness tight end coach, and as
- 3:16Speaker 1: Mark pointed out in the comments section, that's the same
- 3:18Speaker 1: thing on a video that I did when on this.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Because there was more news that happened, but I don't
- 3:24Speaker 1: recall them ever saying a thing about the old guy.
- 3:29Speaker 1: It was like at all, no acknowledgment whatsoever.
- 3:32Speaker 3: There was the expectations that Oklahoma will be parting ways
- 3:36Speaker 3: with Joe John Finley, and then it kind of just disappeared,
- 3:39Speaker 3: and then it was, hey, we got Jason Whitten.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Yeah, so it spreading to have this. It was the
- 3:44Speaker 1: weirdest thing in the world.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Now, Like I would say, maybe the fact that he
- 3:50Speaker 3: was an alum. You kind of wanted to, you know,
- 3:53Speaker 3: make it as peaceful as possible. Everyone kind of saw
- 3:56Speaker 3: writing on the wall and so, you know, kind of
- 4:00Speaker 3: the announcement of Jason Whitten, the expectation announcement for JJF.
- 4:05Speaker 3: I think it's it's I mean, it's pretty, it's it's
- 4:09Speaker 3: it's great to not you know, have your name in
- 4:13Speaker 3: there for hey, you've just been fired from a job,
- 4:15Speaker 3: even though sometimes when you get fired from a job
- 4:17Speaker 3: like nowadays, if you're one of these coaches, just like,
- 4:19Speaker 3: here's thirty million dollars too. By the way, So if
- 4:22Speaker 3: you want to fire me from the podcast and pay
- 4:24Speaker 3: me thirty million, I'll you know what, I'll take three
- 4:28Speaker 3: and you can.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Probably what you want. The problem is position coaches don't
- 4:33Speaker 1: get that thirty three. Oh no, So since we kind
- 4:37Speaker 1: of like both position coaches, we walk away with three dollars.
- 4:42Speaker 2: It's get that way. Yeah, there we go, there we go.
- 4:45Speaker 3: But Jason Witten, so obviously the connection is to Marco Murray, right,
- 4:50Speaker 3: this is one of the best tight ends that have
- 4:52Speaker 3: ever played the game.
- 4:54Speaker 2: You know, at the pro football level.
- 4:57Speaker 3: You know, every single one of these guys that are
- 4:59Speaker 3: coming up as a tied end is probably talking to
- 5:04Speaker 3: their you know, dad, their uncle, their friends, and they're
- 5:08Speaker 3: talking about how Jason Whitten, you know, was.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Just a monster.
- 5:11Speaker 3: You got the clip of him, you know, trucking guys
- 5:14Speaker 3: with his helmet off, which now I think that brought
- 5:16Speaker 3: in the rule that if your helmet comes off, the
- 5:18Speaker 3: place dead. I think that was because Jason Whitten. So
- 5:23Speaker 3: you know, obviously pros and cons. I mean, it's better
- 5:27Speaker 3: than the it's better than the horse caller, the horse
- 5:30Speaker 3: caller rule, which I.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Think was on about Roy Williams.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Right, I think Roy Williams was the the sooner Sooner
- 5:36Speaker 3: Roy Williams, not the underperforming wide receiver from Texas. Uh,
- 5:42Speaker 3: but you know there's that one. I think that the
- 5:45Speaker 3: fontes perfect has a rule.
- 5:47Speaker 2: So I mean.
- 5:48Speaker 3: With with Jason, his name is gonna bring a lot.
- 5:52Speaker 3: So I think I expect you know, him to be
- 5:54Speaker 3: able to talk the game. Hey listen, I did at
- 5:56Speaker 3: this highest level. I think he's you know, more of
- 5:59Speaker 3: the blue collars hop guy. So you know, most people
- 6:02Speaker 3: say just because you're a great at the position. Allah,
- 6:04Speaker 3: Michael Jordan, doesn't mean you're gonna be a great coach,
- 6:08Speaker 3: uh All Michael Jordan. So but I think that Jordan
- 6:12Speaker 3: was just so far above everybody. Jason was a really
- 6:17Speaker 3: really big, hard working tid end, right, So this guy
- 6:20Speaker 3: got to work at the grind, continue to get better
- 6:22Speaker 3: and better and better. And you know, he did it
- 6:25Speaker 3: from the blocking perspective. He did it from the receiving perspective.
- 6:27Speaker 3: So that's gonna be great.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Now.
- 6:30Speaker 3: I would fully expect Kevin Wilson to probably work with
- 6:33Speaker 3: him on some of the technique stuff, you know, being there,
- 6:37Speaker 3: you know, offering his opinion when necessary. But Jason knows
- 6:41Speaker 3: what he's doing. I mean, he's been through D one
- 6:44Speaker 3: practices at Tennessee, you know, being coached up. I'm pretty
- 6:47Speaker 3: sure he still has some memories of that, you know,
- 6:50Speaker 3: cte Aside and then potentially you know, at the Dallas
- 6:54Speaker 3: Cowboys and then you know, ending it with Oakland Raiders
- 6:56Speaker 3: like he's he is, he's a name when it comes
- 6:59Speaker 3: to ends like that's he's one of the greatest to
- 7:02Speaker 3: do it. So I'm excited about this and sounds like
- 7:06Speaker 3: he's already you know, getting to work.
- 7:08Speaker 2: So that's that's good.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Also, yep, that's the best part about having a guy
- 7:12Speaker 1: like Jason Whitten who's been excited about getting into coaching
- 7:15Speaker 1: in the collegiate level and he was wanting to get
- 7:20Speaker 1: get it doing going. And the good thing here is
- 7:25Speaker 1: this is a great opportunity at a prestigious organization, one
- 7:28Speaker 1: of the rare moments former player with no collegiate experience
- 7:33Speaker 1: gets to walk in and really jump in as a
- 7:37Speaker 1: as a as a position coach. And you you said
- 7:39Speaker 1: it perfectly, Coop. That's the biggest thing I personally struggled
- 7:48Speaker 1: with was he just doesn't have the collegiate experience. Now,
- 7:51Speaker 1: granted he's he was a coach at the high school level.
- 7:54Speaker 1: He's done all of that, and he's dealt with kids.
- 7:57Speaker 1: He understands recruiting because he's had recruits coaches come into
- 8:01Speaker 1: recruited kids, so he knows that stuff.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:04Speaker 1: So I was just really just kind of wondering about
- 8:12Speaker 1: how he would get acclimated to the collegiate level on that.
- 8:16Speaker 1: But I think he'll be fine. You know, I'm pretty
- 8:18Speaker 1: excited and at this point I'm in the water. I
- 8:21Speaker 1: have zero reason to believe anything different in this aspect
- 8:26Speaker 1: when it comes to Wit and so it's a big risk,
- 8:30Speaker 1: big reward type situation that all we can do is
- 8:35Speaker 1: sit here and hope for the best. Really, that's really
- 8:39Speaker 1: all where we're at.
- 8:41Speaker 3: And it's not like he is replacing a legend. So
- 8:45Speaker 3: it's not like you're going from a phenomenal coach to
- 8:49Speaker 3: let's see what happens here. I mean, the court of
- 8:53Speaker 3: public opinion says it couldn't be any worse. And I mean,
- 8:59Speaker 3: just with that being said now, I mean it's kind
- 9:03Speaker 3: of the same thing with our buckle coming in over Latrell.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Can he do it at the SEC level? It couldn't
- 9:09Speaker 3: be any worse. So and and listen, we all love
- 9:14Speaker 3: jo John Finley like he is an alumni, like he's
- 9:16Speaker 3: gonna be welcomed back. Hopefully he gets a chance to
- 9:19Speaker 3: go do what he wants to do. But Nagi now
- 9:23Speaker 3: has a guy. It's where he can say he can
- 9:25Speaker 3: go out and him and Dawson and everybody can go
- 9:28Speaker 3: out and do you know, do the scouting find guys
- 9:32Speaker 3: and then say, hey, listen, how would you like to
- 9:35Speaker 3: come to University of Oklahoma and have Jason Witten as
- 9:39Speaker 3: your tight end coach and work with a guy who
- 9:41Speaker 3: did at the highest level, the Pro Bowl level.
- 9:44Speaker 1: That's a fair point ten catches by a recruited athlete,
- 9:47Speaker 1: and he's doubled what we've gotten from Yeah, what we've
- 9:51Speaker 1: gotten from the last coach. I am he's an alum.
- 9:57Speaker 1: He played here. He is loved by the front office,
- 10:01Speaker 1: by donors, a lot of people like the former coach
- 10:05Speaker 1: and so. Like I said, I'm not gonna bag on
- 10:07Speaker 1: him very hard because he's an alum. If he didn't,
- 10:09Speaker 1: if he was in an OEU alum, I'd go all in.
- 10:12Speaker 1: I don't see any value in bashing someone that's we got.
- 10:17Speaker 2: We got to change.
- 10:19Speaker 1: We changed, we got to change. We got to change
- 10:21Speaker 1: Jason Whitten. Now the question is who can Jason Whitten land.
- 10:26Speaker 1: The good thing is Jason Witten has been working already
- 10:29Speaker 1: because we've already seen a crystal ball drop for a
- 10:34Speaker 1: transfer tight end from the state of Texas. We'll talk
- 10:36Speaker 1: about that a little later. That, my friends, is called
- 10:39Speaker 1: a teaser. We're gonna transition though into the returns because
- 10:46Speaker 1: we got a few returns. First time. Isaiah Sataina gave
- 10:50Speaker 1: us this. He said he'll be back and He's been
- 10:53Speaker 1: photoshopped into a new jersey number that is number one.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I'm not sure if y'all knew this. He wore number
- 10:58Speaker 1: five in all the videos you will see of him,
- 11:02Speaker 1: but he is now wearing number one. And guess what,
- 11:04Speaker 1: Coop he back. He's return He is going to be
- 11:10Speaker 1: here at Oklahoma and I am very excited. How are
- 11:16Speaker 1: you feeling about the tank You're letting us know he's back.
- 11:20Speaker 3: I mean, he's got a lot of unfinished business, right
- 11:23Speaker 3: he was really close to that thousand yard season. In
- 11:27Speaker 3: the bowl game, he he was pretty much shut down.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Whether that was Allagometeer or Alabama. We saw a couple
- 11:35Speaker 3: other guys down. Burkes have big days, you know, Giovanni
- 11:39Speaker 3: had a couple of big catches. But you know you've
- 11:42Speaker 3: got you've got.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Your leading receiver returning. He's a big play threat.
- 11:48Speaker 3: I think with some of the guys that we've brought
- 11:50Speaker 3: in otherwise, maybe he gets a chance to just focus
- 11:53Speaker 3: on receiver and not you know, deal with the punt
- 11:55Speaker 3: return stuff.
- 11:56Speaker 2: We'll see what turns out with that.
- 11:58Speaker 3: But anytime that you can bring back your leading receiver
- 12:02Speaker 3: who was top five in the SEC and receiving yards,
- 12:04Speaker 3: and it has the big play potential. I mean, there's
- 12:07Speaker 3: there's nothing bad about this, and this is positive side
- 12:10Speaker 3: of Nils, where instead of him going and maybe drafting
- 12:14Speaker 3: the third or fourth round, you know, you can bring
- 12:17Speaker 3: him back for a pretty lucrative nil deal. He's probably
- 12:20Speaker 3: going to go, you know where he was slated this
- 12:24Speaker 3: year next year and there you are. I mean, you
- 12:28Speaker 3: get a big play receiver back.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what we was hoping for. That's the thing,
- 12:34Speaker 1: of course, it we were we were talking about this
- 12:37Speaker 1: for a bit of we really hope that Satanna comes back.
- 12:42Speaker 1: That that is basically the buy inset of all the
- 12:46Speaker 1: conversations we had going into this year. Because he comes back,
- 12:52Speaker 1: you bring in these additional receivers and now things should
- 12:58Speaker 1: be pretty good, right, Like set was your dude, Like
- 13:01Speaker 1: he went out there and he gave you big play affter,
- 13:04Speaker 1: big playing. You're right. The unfinished business really with him
- 13:07Speaker 1: is he did not get his thousand yards nine hundred
- 13:13Speaker 1: sixty five. And I think the best part too, is
- 13:14Speaker 1: though he showed year over year improvement from coming from Arkansas,
- 13:20Speaker 1: he he moved up and see he had what's that
- 13:23Speaker 1: thirty seven catches for four hundred ninety one and one
- 13:26Speaker 1: touchdown in Arkansas. Had a few people get upset there.
- 13:28Speaker 1: It's like, why are we taking him? Why are we
- 13:31Speaker 1: bringing him? I mean, he ain't got no numbers, He
- 13:34Speaker 1: ain't somebody we should be going after. And then he
- 13:37Speaker 1: turns those numbers from thirty seven, gets thirty more catches
- 13:40Speaker 1: at sixty seven, gets about you know, four hundred plus
- 13:44Speaker 1: more yards at like nine sixty five and in eight
- 13:47Speaker 1: touchdowns fourteen point four yards catch. That's huge. So you
- 13:50Speaker 1: add him, you got Trail, you got Parker, and then,
- 13:55Speaker 1: to me, the underrated part of this is that it's
- 13:59Speaker 1: that perfect balance you get like theos and and Gomorro
- 14:03Speaker 1: with the little deal the knife. Now you can play
- 14:08Speaker 1: your young players. Yeah, Elijah Thomas, everybody wants to see him.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Everybody wants to see many choice Jade Pettitt. You still
- 14:19Speaker 1: got your Michael Carter as well. So hopefully now you
- 14:21Speaker 1: go deeper in your rotations and you see more players
- 14:25Speaker 1: going forward.
- 14:28Speaker 2: And he's got the chemistry with John and Tear.
- 14:31Speaker 3: Yeah, John breaking, you know, if you were breaking in
- 14:35Speaker 3: a let's say that Setna leaves and let's pause on
- 14:38Speaker 3: that one. If Satania would have portled Satania would have commanded,
- 14:43Speaker 3: not what cam Coleman was commanding, but he would have
- 14:45Speaker 3: probably been in the one and a half million dollar range.
- 14:48Speaker 3: You know, if he said, I'm at, I'm out, I'm
- 14:51Speaker 3: gonna go somewhere else. But he enjoys the staff, he enjoys,
- 14:57Speaker 3: our buckle, he enjoys and John, you know, Jeometeer like this.
- 15:02Speaker 3: He wants to come back because now you got some help,
- 15:07Speaker 3: and if you get some wide receiver help and some
- 15:09Speaker 3: other big play threats out there, that's that's a big opportunity.
- 15:13Speaker 3: Plus you know he knows the offense now, So I mean,
- 15:16Speaker 3: like I said, it's just a it's just a win win.
- 15:19Speaker 2: So pretty excited about that.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty stoked. The fact that we got him back.
- 15:24Speaker 1: That that that's what mattered the most to me, is
- 15:26Speaker 1: that he's gonna make his return. So you got that one.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Then you add next on the list. A few hours later,
- 15:36Speaker 1: I was waiting to see if this was gonna go
- 15:38Speaker 1: go down and happen. Kip and Geometear drops one. This
- 15:43Speaker 1: is a badass graphic.
- 15:47Speaker 2: The return of the Turn of the Tens.
- 15:49Speaker 1: That's pretty good. We'll play, my friends, we'll play. They
- 15:53Speaker 1: are back. We have Kip, we have John Mattier, your
- 15:58Speaker 1: your offensive in your defensive leader. And yeah, I'm pretty
- 16:02Speaker 1: excited that that they're back. Uh.
- 16:06Speaker 3: You know, it reminds me of two years ago when
- 16:08Speaker 3: Danny and Billy Bowman were looking to return for their
- 16:13Speaker 3: you know, unfinished unfinished business there too. I mean, the
- 16:15Speaker 3: same situation. I mean, I don't think that Kip can
- 16:18Speaker 3: hurt his draft stock. I think he can improve it
- 16:19Speaker 3: a little bit. I think he probably got a decent grade.
- 16:23Speaker 3: And then you know, because he he he is available
- 16:25Speaker 3: to play the type of linebacker that you need now
- 16:27Speaker 3: in the NFL. You got to have the linebackers who
- 16:30Speaker 3: can get out there and do some stuff in pass coverage.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Which is why you see.
- 16:35Speaker 3: Certain guys returning to the team and certain guys who
- 16:38Speaker 3: left the team. It's the ability to you know, get
- 16:40Speaker 3: out and pass coverage, to do the right thing, the
- 16:43Speaker 3: right drops, the right reads.
- 16:46Speaker 2: John.
- 16:47Speaker 3: I mean, this is a weaker quarterback class this year.
- 16:50Speaker 3: Uh John, Uh, you know he could have gone. And
- 16:54Speaker 3: you know, all it takes is one team to love
- 16:56Speaker 3: you a little bit earlier than everybody else. Really, look
- 17:00Speaker 3: at you, look at you know him with the opportunity
- 17:04Speaker 3: to come back, get the eyes right, play healthy. You know,
- 17:09Speaker 3: hopefully with the improvement on the offensive line, improvement at
- 17:12Speaker 3: the running back position. If proven at the skill positions,
- 17:15Speaker 3: he doesn't have to put his body on line as much.
- 17:17Speaker 3: He you know, he can be the type of guy
- 17:19Speaker 3: who runs when necessary. I look at like a Trevor
- 17:22Speaker 3: Lawrence for the Jacksonville Jaguars this year. Trevor can run
- 17:25Speaker 3: all over the place, but I mean his job is
- 17:27Speaker 3: to sit in the pocket and make passes. And so
- 17:30Speaker 3: I would like to see, you know that that Michigan game.
- 17:33Speaker 3: I don't want that type of jeometerer being needed game
- 17:37Speaker 3: in game out. You know, everybody talked about Yeah, but
- 17:39Speaker 3: is it sustainable. After the Michigan game, After the Auburn game, we.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Saw what happened.
- 17:44Speaker 3: So now he gets to come back with a full
- 17:46Speaker 3: complement of weapons and hopefully just to prove to the NFL. Hey, listen,
- 17:51Speaker 3: you know I'm a gamer. You know I'm going to
- 17:53Speaker 3: play through it all. You know, he always got the
- 17:56Speaker 3: Baker comps. I think the toughness thing still remains there,
- 17:59Speaker 3: and his his is com He wants to get out
- 18:01Speaker 3: there and he wants to do whatever's necessary.
- 18:04Speaker 2: But he needs to be a better passer.
- 18:06Speaker 3: And if you can take a jump in that offense,
- 18:08Speaker 3: you know you expect the defense to be good again.
- 18:11Speaker 3: So if that offense takes another jump, now you are
- 18:14Speaker 3: a little bit more of a threat. Probably gonna be
- 18:15Speaker 3: a preseason top ten team.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Also, yeah, that's a very good chance on that, especially
- 18:20Speaker 1: because you're bringing back so many players, a lot of
- 18:22Speaker 1: your defenses back. I mean, you don't have our Mason
- 18:24Speaker 1: Thomas coming back, but you s took at Taylor Wine.
- 18:27Speaker 1: You don't have like MJJ coming back, but you got
- 18:31Speaker 1: Daniel Koye pg R Boare entered the transfer portal for
- 18:35Speaker 1: two minutes and came right back right, I mean another
- 18:39Speaker 1: David Stone situation. Stone's back, Jane Jackson's back, so your
- 18:43Speaker 1: interiors back would kip back in the middle of the linebacker.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Now it's going to be on some of the new guys,
- 18:48Speaker 1: Cole Sullivan who just came in as a transfer. It's
- 18:50Speaker 1: time to get the James Nesta era going, as well
- 18:53Speaker 1: as Marcus James. Remember Nessu's like six', Four Marcus james
- 18:58Speaker 1: like six to. Three so you had two giant linebackers
- 19:00Speaker 1: who both are two forty at. Minimum. Both so you
- 19:04Speaker 1: got both your big dot guys coming back that are
- 19:07Speaker 1: younger and there they've been in the system now two.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Years it's time for them to show. Up LIKE i,
- 19:12Speaker 1: Know i've seen a few people be upset that they you,
- 19:13Speaker 1: know they really Wanted sammy to come, back AND i
- 19:15Speaker 1: totally get. It but you gotta Remember samuel at one,
- 19:18Speaker 1: Year sammy wasn't probably gonna, start, Right you're bringing a
- 19:21Speaker 1: player Like Cole sullivan who's six three two. Thirty they're
- 19:24Speaker 1: gonna add another five to ten pounds to. Him he's
- 19:26Speaker 1: gonna be run around at six three six two forty,
- 19:29Speaker 1: fast and he's gonna Be he's better Than sammy in. Coverage,
- 19:34Speaker 1: Yeah samy's really good at directing and he's really good
- 19:36Speaker 1: at run. Stuffing just didn't work out long. Term but guess,
- 19:39Speaker 1: What sammy's gonna go play somewhere as a uh. Senior
- 19:43Speaker 1: he's only this one. Year he's probably gonna start and
- 19:46Speaker 1: out THERE, ucla and that's what he wants to. Do
- 19:49Speaker 1: he wants to start and get that starter tape to
- 19:50Speaker 1: look good in preparation for the, Draft whereas here he
- 19:55Speaker 1: was not gonna probably get that. Opportunity he was gonna,
- 19:57Speaker 1: rotate it's like everybody. Else but he wasn't gonna be
- 19:59Speaker 1: able to. Start LIKE i, said his numbers were slowly
- 20:04Speaker 1: when it comes to, snaps they were. Declining so that being,
- 20:10Speaker 1: said it's kind of how that. Works now it's ne's the.
- 20:13Speaker 1: Time LIKE i, said y'all want to see some of
- 20:15Speaker 1: the young. Players, remember keep this in mind two things
- 20:18Speaker 1: that we've said this numerous times here on the. Show
- 20:24Speaker 1: retention is just as important as. Acquisition so bringing in
- 20:29Speaker 1: portal players it's, important but retaining the talent you have
- 20:34Speaker 1: on your roster is also just as. Important so go
- 20:36Speaker 1: look at all the starters you. Have you still got,
- 20:38Speaker 1: tour you still got x Rob you've got your entire
- 20:42Speaker 1: four of your offensive line, starters plus backups that you
- 20:45Speaker 1: want to keep because you want them to be able to.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Play but you added some additional senior depth to. That
- 20:51Speaker 1: you brought back your best wide, receiver and you just
- 20:54Speaker 1: added two, more one that was one of the top
- 20:57Speaker 1: players in his. Conference in THE ACC acc produce some
- 21:00Speaker 1: good wide, receivers and then you Get Parker, livingstone who's
- 21:02Speaker 1: a young wide receiver that can grow with the other.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Dudes he can grow With Elijah. Thomas he can grow
- 21:09Speaker 1: With Manny choice and he can become your number one
- 21:13Speaker 1: next season while the other guys are up and. Raised
- 21:18Speaker 1: you know to chip. In did you go to the
- 21:20Speaker 1: defensive side of the. Ball basically your defensive line is
- 21:23Speaker 1: intagged Without, arts Up arms And thomas NOT i think being.
- 21:25Speaker 1: There But Taylor wan showed you you'll be fine without.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Them Taylor wan proved that to you in The. Tennessee
- 21:31Speaker 1: and we told you it's gonna. Happen Our mason told
- 21:33Speaker 1: YOU i was gonna gonna. Happen he shut us up on.
- 21:36Speaker 1: It oh my bad, dog no disrespect to Our god.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Here Taylor wane h the gn can definitely handle it.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Now he's gotta just see IF pj And Daniel koye
- 21:46Speaker 1: ready to take over the other. Side linebacker, said but,
- 21:50Speaker 1: corners we're coming back with our entire secondary for the most,
- 21:54Speaker 1: part Like Robert, Spiars jennings is. Gone, yeah but you
- 21:56Speaker 1: Got Michael Bob withowsi someone everybody's ready to. See So,
- 21:59Speaker 1: coop when you look at all of this in the full,
- 22:02Speaker 1: picture all you're doing is adding pieces that you want
- 22:07Speaker 1: to rotate in, occasionally especially because on. Defense we rotate a,
- 22:11Speaker 1: lot but this is the other one to keep your mind.
- 22:13Speaker 1: On when it comes to the, players we're gonna start adding.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Now we're adding debt. Pieces pieces that are you, know,
- 22:22Speaker 1: experiments people that. Players some may be able to, contribute
- 22:26Speaker 1: some are there to see if the potential is truly
- 22:28Speaker 1: there based upon the. Measurables so don't be surprised when
- 22:32Speaker 1: you see some randos populate The game's the, game that's
- 22:35Speaker 1: what it looks. Like so so, Yeah i'm happy we've
- 22:39Speaker 1: got basically our three generals out, there the three most important.
- 22:43Speaker 1: PLAYERS i felt like that we needed to come back
- 22:46Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to come back Because Peyton bowen
- 22:48Speaker 1: was already coming. Back he never even they ain't put
- 22:50Speaker 1: no graphic for, him and he's he's. Eligible he coming.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Back you did a good job of. Retention guys take
- 22:58Speaker 1: about would be. Excited it's.
- 23:01Speaker 3: Good and in this in this world of, portal you're
- 23:05Speaker 3: going to have guys who want that starting. Position and
- 23:09Speaker 3: in a guy that's you, know go with like A Marcus,
- 23:12Speaker 3: strong he would be a phenomenal depth. Piece he'd probably
- 23:15Speaker 3: be the three or the four d tackle this this next.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Year, yep he went somewhere.
- 23:19Speaker 3: Else now he went To, clemson and we set it
- 23:23Speaker 3: at the end of the year middle at the beginning
- 23:25Speaker 3: of the year last, year at the beginning year this,
- 23:28Speaker 3: year you're going to start seeing guys you don't necessarily
- 23:31Speaker 3: want to. Lose but these guys aren't going To Texas STATE.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Unlv these guys are going To, Clemson northwestern u c L.
- 23:39Speaker 3: A they're going TO p four. Programs and every single
- 23:42Speaker 3: one of our guys that's gone is doing. That the
- 23:45Speaker 3: reason why they're going to get starting pay. There they're
- 23:47Speaker 3: not going to get starting pay. Here and so you,
- 23:51Speaker 3: know it is what it. Is what you want to
- 23:53Speaker 3: do is continue to take the the, starters work on
- 23:57Speaker 3: the retention that route you, know really have playing in.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Place you Know Devon, jordan another guy you, know just
- 24:04Speaker 3: looked at, uh looked at going somewhere. Else he's going
- 24:07Speaker 3: to probably be a starter where he. Goes, now you
- 24:10Speaker 3: work in these newer, guys these younger, pops and bring
- 24:12Speaker 3: them up and so that When Eli bowen has a
- 24:15Speaker 3: decision to make next, year does he go to THE, Nfl,
- 24:18Speaker 3: well now you have somebody else who can step in
- 24:20Speaker 3: and start in his.
- 24:21Speaker 2: Place so you want to.
- 24:23Speaker 3: Keep the starters and you want to continue to grow
- 24:26Speaker 3: your recruited, players and recruited players are going to be, cheaper.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Yeah and recruited players. Cost retaining your players. Cost you
- 24:37Speaker 1: just got to decide who's more, important because remember this
- 24:41Speaker 1: Year Taylor wine was you're a big breakout. Player he's
- 24:44Speaker 1: hands down breakout player of the year because he just blew.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Up you, know if you had to battle it between,
- 24:51Speaker 1: somebody it's between him And Courtland guillery because he came
- 24:55Speaker 1: out of, nowhere, boom blew. Up is It taylor winand
- 24:57Speaker 1: blown up this? Year so now we have to ask
- 25:00Speaker 1: question Of, okay what's the next young player that we
- 25:04Speaker 1: want to see blow? Up to? ME i think it's
- 25:06Speaker 1: gonna Be James nesta And Marcus james and at linebacker,
- 25:09Speaker 1: ROOM i think they're gonna be the ones the biggest.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Contributes but we'll talk about that later in another. Day
- 25:14Speaker 1: but right, now we're happy that we got our three
- 25:18Speaker 1: main guys to come. Back so we're gonna talk about
- 25:21Speaker 1: The we're gonna talk about Who Jason witten was definitely
- 25:25Speaker 1: going after in a. Moment good question that's popped up.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Here i've had this asked a few times do we
- 25:31Speaker 1: Want Nick anderson. Back i'm gonna go ahead and say.
- 25:34Speaker 1: No you know that ship has. Sailed he is a
- 25:39Speaker 1: solid player and he lived his life AT lsu and
- 25:42Speaker 1: that didn't work out very, well nor did to work
- 25:44Speaker 1: out his last year, Here so no need to rehash.
- 25:47Speaker 1: THAT i think he's gonna end up At kentucky and
- 25:50Speaker 1: that may be a good spot for. HIM J. J
- 25:52Speaker 1: hester went. Her you can go look UP. J. J hester's.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Number so, No i'm gonna say no on, That.
- 25:56Speaker 3: COOP i already gave you mine thumbs down. Again you,
- 26:02Speaker 3: know say ship sail bridge. Burned whatever it. Is, uh
- 26:06Speaker 3: you know It's You're you're not going to bring in
- 26:08Speaker 3: a guy, who yet again AT, lsu had some injury,
- 26:11Speaker 3: concerns missed some. GAMES i MEAN i think that he
- 26:14Speaker 3: had three. TOUCHDOWNS i think two of them actually hit
- 26:16Speaker 3: another l S u player and then bounced it in his.
- 26:18Speaker 3: Hands SO i, mean, uh you know that that's what
- 26:21Speaker 3: his production kind of turned out to be. There he's
- 26:24Speaker 3: gonna go somewhere else he you, know hopefully he gets
- 26:27Speaker 3: healthy and gets on The. Yeah nick was the Last
- 26:30Speaker 3: sooner to score Against, texas though was So.
- 26:34Speaker 1: DYLAN i guess you could both count but.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Yes, yeah So, Dylan.
- 26:40Speaker 3: But, yeah, no it's IT'S i think that you have
- 26:45Speaker 3: a lot of other options on the, field AND i
- 26:48Speaker 3: think that's what he is going To i've done in his,
- 26:51Speaker 3: past you, Know i'd rather take a chance on getting
- 26:54Speaker 3: many choice or et out there and getting.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Reps that's The that's the WAY i look at. It
- 27:00Speaker 1: i've seen a few people ask the question of are
- 27:02Speaker 1: we gonna get More are we gonna get more wide you,
- 27:06Speaker 1: know wide receivers in the Portal i'm just kind of,
- 27:08Speaker 1: LIKE i, mean we probably, will but If i'm being
- 27:12Speaker 1: one hundred percent honest to, me the thing, IS i
- 27:15Speaker 1: just want these guys really TO i want to. PLAY
- 27:21Speaker 1: i want to play our young. Players those are the
- 27:22Speaker 1: ones THAT i really care the most. About and so,
- 27:26Speaker 1: yeah that's something to really think about. There, okay we're gonna,
- 27:30Speaker 1: talk of, course more portal. Stuff we got another one
- 27:32Speaker 1: Since i've been, gone so we kind of have to
- 27:36Speaker 1: talk about the additional portal player that we got. In and,

- 29:06Speaker 1: players that we Know oklahoma's going. After and As coop mentioned,
- 29:10Speaker 1: earlier as soon As Jason witten got, here what was
- 29:14Speaker 1: the first thing he, Did? Coop he went out there
- 29:16Speaker 1: and he went to. Work he went to work to
- 29:19Speaker 1: the point of we got ourselves already a crystal ball
- 29:23Speaker 1: for a tight end twenty five tight End Jack Van,
- 29:27Speaker 1: Doors Doris, Selier Doris, Silaire, dorsilaire South Lake Carroll High
- 29:34Speaker 1: school JV. D South Lake Carroll High school down there In,
- 29:39Speaker 1: texas he. Played he admitted To tennessee this, Year i'm
- 29:43Speaker 1: gonna say this south, Loud, sooner. Cowboy please don't you
- 29:47Speaker 1: say a single word WHEN i say, This Sooner, Cowboy
- 29:51Speaker 1: i'm calling you out specifically BECAUSE i know that you're
- 29:53Speaker 1: gonna say something about, This so don't say. Nothing Sooner.
- 29:57Speaker 1: Cowboy you all should REMEMBER jvd when we played Against
- 30:02Speaker 1: tennessee In. Knoxville he's the one that dropped the pass
- 30:06Speaker 1: on fourth downs when they threw that random freshman out
- 30:11Speaker 1: there on the play and the freshman was wide open
- 30:13Speaker 1: and the pass through. Behind, YEAH jvd was when they dropped.
- 30:16Speaker 1: It but we're not gonna count that against, him, guys
- 30:19Speaker 1: because he's a twenty twenty, five which means he would
- 30:22Speaker 1: basically be added to the class With Trenee. Washington he can.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Block i've actually watched, him watch some of the tape on.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Him it's a pretty solid. Blocker that's what we. Need
- 30:34Speaker 1: plus he actually can. Catch but it's funny That Jason
- 30:41Speaker 1: witten has already gone to his Alma mada to snatch
- 30:44Speaker 1: up a player and bring him To, oklahoma.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Of all the.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Places and As jimmy points out, here you're one hundred percent.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Right he knew he was gonna be a. Singer but,
- 30:57Speaker 1: NO i, MEAN i think the thing that excites me
- 30:59Speaker 1: coop throwing them as to, YOU i want to know
- 31:00Speaker 1: what your thoughts on this. Is this is a tight
- 31:03Speaker 1: end out Of. TEXAS i don't know when's the last
- 31:05Speaker 1: time we got one of.
- 31:05Speaker 3: HIM i just, RIGHT i just don't remember tight ends
- 31:14Speaker 3: coming to this university Since Austin, Stagner like that's the
- 31:18Speaker 3: last recruited tight end that did.
- 31:20Speaker 1: Anything, Yep but we Got Trenee, washington WHO i really. Like,
- 31:24Speaker 1: SO i you, KNOW i hype him. Up he's, young
- 31:27Speaker 1: but once he gets his blocking, DOWN i think could
- 31:29Speaker 1: be really good. Here but this warms me. Up what
- 31:32Speaker 1: do you think about this potential, Pickup, coop BECAUSE i
- 31:34Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen probably in the next.
- 31:36Speaker 2: Hour, YEAH i mean played At South.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Lake THAT'S i, mean that's one of the traditional powerhouses
- 31:43Speaker 3: down there In, Dallas South Lake, dragons If i'm not. Mistaken,
- 31:50Speaker 3: YEAH i mean he's a four star. Guy he's got the.
- 31:52Speaker 3: SIZE i mentioned it earlier in saying like the bar
- 31:56Speaker 3: is pretty, low, Right, so, Uh jack does have him
- 32:00Speaker 3: himself one, touchdown which would be more Than cannon got last.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Year SO i did you know That Cayden helm's got a?
- 32:07Speaker 3: Touchdown but, yeah it's a young guy That Jason witten
- 32:11Speaker 3: can start working. With and AS i said, BEFORE i
- 32:13Speaker 3: think That Jason witten is going to have a lot of,
- 32:15Speaker 3: help you, know if he wants it From Kevin.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Wilson Kevin.
- 32:20Speaker 3: WILSON i, Mean, jason If I'm Jason, WITTEN i don't
- 32:22Speaker 3: Think pride's going to be a factor in. THERE i
- 32:24Speaker 3: think he's going to, say, hey, listen give me the.
- 32:26Speaker 3: Pointers like to sit, here see you, know you, know work.
- 32:29Speaker 3: Together that's How Kevin wilson likes that. Role that's why
- 32:33Speaker 3: he's sticking. Around he doesn't it's it's he doesn't have
- 32:36Speaker 3: THE i mentioned this in our in one of our other,
- 32:39Speaker 3: bids like he doesn't have the half. Tows he gets
- 32:42Speaker 3: to float around and help where he sees. Necessary AND
- 32:45Speaker 3: i think that that's the that's the leverage THAT bv
- 32:48Speaker 3: and our buckle have allowed, him whether it is with
- 32:51Speaker 3: the offensive, line whether it is with the tight.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Ends but this is a big.
- 32:54Speaker 3: BODY i mean we got three tight ends you know
- 32:56Speaker 3: now coming through the. Portal you, know this is better
- 33:00Speaker 3: than getting a dude from you, know no Offense Carson,
- 33:02Speaker 3: kent but, uh you know wherever he came. From so,
- 33:05Speaker 3: YEAH i mean this is, uh he gets to grow.
- 33:08Speaker 3: Too it's not a one year, rental so hopefully he
- 33:10Speaker 3: can develop himself and just get better and better each.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Year that's what you, want and that's kind of what
- 33:17Speaker 1: we're looking For we're now like and this is kind
- 33:20Speaker 1: of WHAT i mentioned this on purpose Because i'm really
- 33:23Speaker 1: hoping a lot of you understand this in this, point
- 33:27Speaker 1: and Like i'm gonna shove this in your mouths and
- 33:32Speaker 1: down your throat so you understand. Me you hear me say.
- 33:35Speaker 1: This no pauls here at, all or did? He we're
- 33:40Speaker 1: now at the point where we need to just start
- 33:42Speaker 1: adding depth projects and players that could potentially rotate but
- 33:46Speaker 1: most likely. Won't why this staff likes their, recruits they always.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Have we play our more of our recruits than we
- 33:53Speaker 1: do any other. Player we've always piecemealed in, transfers it
- 33:58Speaker 1: only on. Offense AND i got a video coming out.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Tomorrow i'm not gonna spoil it, now BUT i got
- 34:04Speaker 1: a video out tomorrow kind of talking about why that
- 34:09Speaker 1: is in my, Opinion but the cliffs notes on it
- 34:13Speaker 1: is is that the staff has recognized that the most
- 34:17Speaker 1: important thing for them is recruiting at a high, level
- 34:21Speaker 1: finding those particular players that have the particular traits that
- 34:24Speaker 1: fit specifically what we want to. Do and that's why
- 34:27Speaker 1: you don't see us going after just anybody in the.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Portal naggi. SAME i, mean we've spent a lot of
- 34:32Speaker 1: money in that wide receiver room because we need to revamp.
- 34:35Speaker 1: It we unfortunately lost some potential in there and it's,
- 34:38Speaker 1: okay but we need to we and some of the
- 34:41Speaker 1: players we've lost were dudes with one year left that
- 34:44Speaker 1: did not finish. Up LIKE i said it. Starters so
- 34:49Speaker 1: our goal here is to find a way to play
- 34:51Speaker 1: the young players that we've been recruiting the last few.
- 34:53Speaker 1: Years they don't have a reason to try to leave
- 34:54Speaker 1: to some, unfortunately will the ones that typically live Your
- 34:58Speaker 1: Divine jordan's Your, hawkins Which hawkins him and his brother
- 35:02Speaker 1: were kind of a practice. Deal but you would have
- 35:05Speaker 1: wanted to try to release retain the corner because that's
- 35:08Speaker 1: the room you want you want to make you maintain.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Depth but the one problem you run into with that,
- 35:14Speaker 1: room similar To Marcus strong, leaving is the twofold, piece
- 35:17Speaker 1: so that you had freshmen starting at that position because
- 35:21Speaker 1: they were that. Good so when you run into, that
- 35:23Speaker 1: that's when you do have attrition of players in behind
- 35:26Speaker 1: them and you have to go get younger players or
- 35:27Speaker 1: players that are willing to come in and rotate and
- 35:29Speaker 1: try to take the. Job so it's just kind of
- 35:32Speaker 1: the unfortunate casualties of how the portal and the way
- 35:36Speaker 1: roster rosters are built, nowadays just is what it, is you, Know.
- 35:43Speaker 2: Yeah it'd be.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Okay.
- 35:46Speaker 3: LISTEN bb tried to keep people, engaged, right he was
- 35:51Speaker 3: rotating in multiple different Guys Jacoba, Johnson Davin jordan coming
- 35:55Speaker 3: in like you, know With eli And Courtland.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Gillery so.
- 36:02Speaker 3: You're going, this this is We we've seen good pieces
- 36:06Speaker 3: now every piece that comes in through. Here, now you,
- 36:08Speaker 3: know don't expect like a big splash offensive tackle FROM
- 36:13Speaker 3: i Mean indiana or something like that to hit the
- 36:15Speaker 3: hit the portal IN us go spend million dollars on
- 36:17Speaker 3: ANOTHER o Tackle like that's probably not gonna. HAPPEN i
- 36:19Speaker 3: think we're pretty good. SET i think we're gonna add you,
- 36:22Speaker 3: know depth pieces at this point because you've got some
- 36:25Speaker 3: guys coming in and if you can add a depth,
- 36:28Speaker 3: PIECE i, mean let's, uh let's go With, oh who's
- 36:32Speaker 3: the wide, Receiver, uh smaller guy that transferred in this last,
- 36:35Speaker 3: year we didn't see him and he transferred.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Out Josiam.
- 36:38Speaker 3: Martin, yeah So Josiah, Martin like that's probably what you're gonna.
- 36:42Speaker 3: See or a guy LIKE backlinko come, in you're there
- 36:45Speaker 3: for some depth and if breaking case of, emergency and
- 36:49Speaker 3: then if you want to go somewhere the next year
- 36:50Speaker 3: and go try to find another. SPOT i, mean you're
- 36:52Speaker 3: you're still getting, money you're still coming. In so if
- 36:55Speaker 3: you see a guy that you, know maybe an offensive
- 36:57Speaker 3: lineman commit over here in the next couple of days
- 36:59Speaker 3: and you're, like that's not very, exciting it's he's NOT i,
- 37:03Speaker 3: mean he's not slay to be a. Starter he's a
- 37:04Speaker 3: guy that you you, like he's got, snaps he's going
- 37:07Speaker 3: to come in and be. Depth because, again you don't
- 37:09Speaker 3: want to run into the situation where was a couple
- 37:12Speaker 3: of years ago where you're trying to or i mean
- 37:13Speaker 3: even this year where you're sliding OVER fabitchu way over
- 37:16Speaker 3: to center because you don't have any depth. There so looks,
- 37:21Speaker 3: uh looks pretty good in the portal right. NOW i
- 37:24Speaker 3: mean you got to look at our friends down. SOUTH i,
- 37:27Speaker 3: mean they're trying to fill out their. Roster you, know
- 37:30Speaker 3: they're they're really struggling on the offensive line interior right,
- 37:32Speaker 3: now and you're looking.
- 37:34Speaker 1: AT i don't know, Her.
- 37:39Speaker 3: You're looking at the guy potentially, starting which the riders
- 37:42Speaker 3: said at this point you just can't play. Him uh
- 37:45Speaker 3: kind of reminds me of can't Play cancer From The
- 37:48Speaker 3: thunder a few years. AGO i, mean that's that's not
- 37:50Speaker 3: a spot you want to be. In So i'm pretty
- 37:52Speaker 3: happy with the. Portal i'm pretty happy with what's going
- 37:54Speaker 3: on right. Now and, again you want to continue to
- 37:58Speaker 3: see the guys that you recruited that you may of
- 38:00Speaker 3: those promises too that you then come in and progress
- 38:03Speaker 3: and get, better and then some of these guys who
- 38:05Speaker 3: are portaling in this, year maybe they leave next year
- 38:07Speaker 3: because of the development for the young.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Guys, no, no, yeah one hundred percent agree that is? That
- 38:11Speaker 1: is that what you're hoping? For Right you're hoping that
- 38:14Speaker 1: it works out in that. Way we just we just
- 38:20Speaker 1: need them to go out there and like. Produce oh,
- 38:22Speaker 1: wow there's been like a lot of really good players
- 38:24Speaker 1: most recently jumping in the. Portal so of, course you,
- 38:26Speaker 1: know our hearts are being warmed and we're hoping that
- 38:29Speaker 1: there's an opportunity to get somebody else out. There but besides, That,
- 38:34Speaker 1: oklahoma right, now the strategy and the portal is gonna
- 38:38Speaker 1: be in Which i'll do it this. Weekend Now i'll
- 38:42Speaker 1: have the roster. Built i've already built it and THEN
- 38:45Speaker 1: i went out of town for. Work BUT i have
- 38:47Speaker 1: the roster. Built we're going to look at who's, returning
- 38:52Speaker 1: who's coming, in and really assess what more do we.
- 38:55Speaker 1: NEED i know we're gonna try to get us one MORE,
- 38:57Speaker 1: dB because it's always good to have a nice little YOUNG.
- 38:59Speaker 1: dB somebody's visiting right, now If i'm, correct think uh
- 39:05Speaker 1: think Uh, Parker, yeah besides j V. D i think
- 39:12Speaker 1: there's a there's a corner that's visiting right. Now, ACTUALLY
- 39:17Speaker 1: i think a couple of corners are. Visiting and then
- 39:20Speaker 1: you'll see some old. Line you're gonna see some MORE d.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Tackles we still would like to get a. Few we
- 39:27Speaker 1: need more debt. Pieces LIKE i, think, PERSONALLY i was
- 39:34Speaker 1: fond of this, one but there was a lot of
- 39:38Speaker 1: people were uh were Not and it was That Bishop Thomas,
- 39:44Speaker 1: kidd the defensive tackle From Georgia, state had a few
- 39:48Speaker 1: people in the comments section complaining about, it, like, uh
- 39:52Speaker 1: we need guys FROM i don't know where they think
- 39:58Speaker 1: that we're gonna get other guys, from but they're complaining
- 40:01Speaker 1: about this. ONE i like this pick up Because bishop
- 40:07Speaker 1: is a BIG d tackle and he has PLAYED d one,
- 40:12Speaker 1: ball d A p four ball actually Because Georgia state
- 40:17Speaker 1: IS d one but he's played. SOME i think he
- 40:21Speaker 1: was At colorado And Florida. State he's a good just,
- 40:27Speaker 1: filler like, Filler like he's a player that you bring
- 40:31Speaker 1: in THAT i think he has what a year left of,
- 40:34Speaker 1: eligibility but he was one of the highest graded defensive
- 40:39Speaker 1: tackles in The Sun belt VIA. Pff, like what's the complaint?
- 40:42Speaker 1: Here you got a highly graded dude who's also played
- 40:45Speaker 1: at bigger. SCHOOLS i mean he's.
- 40:48Speaker 3: Got, snaps and you know a lot of people are
- 40:52Speaker 3: going to point towards the you, know needing other guys
- 40:56Speaker 3: to step, up some of the younger some of the younger. Guys,
- 41:00Speaker 3: again you don't want to play a freshman if he's not.
- 41:03Speaker 3: Ready if this guy comes in and let's go With
- 41:08Speaker 3: Brian harris really really presses him And Brian harris beats him,
- 41:12Speaker 3: OUT i mean that's a win. WIN i, mean you've
- 41:15Speaker 3: got a depth. Body you can't expect you can't, expect you,
- 41:18Speaker 3: know David son And jade And jackson to take all those.
- 41:20Speaker 3: Snaps so, YEAH i mean anytime that you can rotate
- 41:24Speaker 3: in the, fats you get some more, fats you plug
- 41:27Speaker 3: him in the, middle and you go plus with the.
- 41:30Speaker 3: Grades you, know obviously the techniques, there what does the
- 41:32Speaker 3: coaching look like when you come in and you get
- 41:34Speaker 3: to learn Under Todd bates at this, point like do
- 41:37Speaker 3: we see What Todd bates? Did you, know since he's been,
- 41:40Speaker 3: here he's made this defensive line. BETTER i mean you
- 41:43Speaker 3: look at you, Know. Jonahlalau you know With oakland right,
- 41:46Speaker 3: now jonah is you, know is one of the better
- 41:50Speaker 3: defensive linement on that team With Max, crosby and you,
- 41:52Speaker 3: know they absolutely love. Him and so, yeah you get
- 41:56Speaker 3: some good coaching on him and maybe he goes from you,
- 41:58Speaker 3: know maybe he goes from a oh my, god It's
- 42:00Speaker 3: Georgia state TO i just say this, everybody everybody cross the.
- 42:04Speaker 3: Country you're watching a game and you see a guy
- 42:06Speaker 3: flashing and making big plays and they're, like, oh this
- 42:09Speaker 3: guy came over From South Carolina. State you, know, like
- 42:12Speaker 3: how the hell did this? Is you, know all THESE
- 42:13Speaker 3: p four programs miss them and how you know did?
- 42:15Speaker 3: They you, Know kentucky get this. Guy this is one
- 42:18Speaker 3: of those guys THAT i think is going to be
- 42:20Speaker 3: a good.
- 42:20Speaker 1: ONE i, agree uh boom're doing a good question. Here
- 42:24Speaker 1: where are we on the the roster? LIMIT i believe
- 42:30Speaker 1: we're at like a hundred AND i think we had
- 42:34Speaker 1: like one hundred and between one hundred and three and
- 42:37Speaker 1: one hundred and. SEVEN i have to do the actual
- 42:39Speaker 1: math again because you gotta do the the pseudo quote
- 42:42Speaker 1: unquote walk on and see where we're at with. Them
- 42:45Speaker 1: but with everything in the way it's, going they probably
- 42:48Speaker 1: don't count no. More so we're we're probably under the
- 42:50Speaker 1: one oh five because we are hosting a ton more.
- 42:53Speaker 1: People so keep that in. Mind where we're's hosting a
- 42:58Speaker 1: ton of. Them so we're gonna. Do but what we
- 43:00Speaker 1: need is players that have the option, to LIKE i,
- 43:07Speaker 1: said rotate and. Develop like to Me bishop WHEN i
- 43:11Speaker 1: looked at him on some of his tape in his,
- 43:13Speaker 1: grades he reminds me of G baby six two eighty,
- 43:17Speaker 1: five two ninety but good, hands good, movement gets low
- 43:22Speaker 1: AND i Think Gavid teddy did a in the weeds of.
- 43:25Speaker 1: IT i like. It he's worth, it he's worth looking,
- 43:30Speaker 1: at it's worth talking to and talking. About so, yeah
- 43:36Speaker 1: we're gonna just start. Filing the roster is gonna be
- 43:37Speaker 1: filled out with. Players you may get some young players
- 43:39Speaker 1: from other. Schools i'll LIE jvd From. Tennessee you'll get
- 43:43Speaker 1: players like. That you're gonna get some from lower range
- 43:46Speaker 1: and get Some. JUCO i think we're looking at Another
- 43:47Speaker 1: neeo kid that went well with us For adobe until
- 43:50Speaker 1: he got. Hurt So i'm totally here for anyo give
- 43:52Speaker 1: me Some. Jucos so we're gonna be definitely looking At
- 43:55Speaker 1: juco players as. Well but to, answer there's a couple
- 43:58Speaker 1: questions coming. Here haven't heard the thing about THE A.
- 44:00Speaker 1: D i am just waiting For Bob stoops to go
- 44:03Speaker 1: ahead and get named A. D just call it a,
- 44:04Speaker 1: day get it over, with, guys pull rip the band.
- 44:07Speaker 1: Aid that will be a good. One besides, that, though,
- 44:11Speaker 1: no we we don't have a lot Of we don't
- 44:19Speaker 1: have a lot of spots available for people to come
- 44:21Speaker 1: in and start to put it that, way you're basically pulling,
- 44:24Speaker 1: in LIKE i, said a lot of development guys like
- 44:26Speaker 1: the what was the lineman from UTS a that we
- 44:30Speaker 1: all fell in love? With, yeah yeah he. Is kenny
- 44:36Speaker 1: is gonna be O Kenny O's wall From Donna San
- 44:40Speaker 1: antonio six four to two. Seven he's gonna be a
- 44:43Speaker 1: fun edge.
- 44:45Speaker 2: It, WELL i think that.
- 44:48Speaker 3: He is A i think that he is going to
- 44:50Speaker 3: be a little bit of a multi tool.
- 44:54Speaker 2: That turnip seeds for Ad.
- 44:55Speaker 3: Well THE i think the multi tool is good because
- 44:59Speaker 3: this is a guy who PLAYED d tackle AND d.
- 45:02Speaker 3: EDGE i mean he is going to have that. Capability
- 45:05Speaker 3: and When Brent fvnibles runs all those zone blitziest where
- 45:09Speaker 3: you have one of the edge one of the edge
- 45:11Speaker 3: players drop back into. ZONE i mean think of running
- 45:14Speaker 3: a Stone stone And ozawalu like. Stunt you've got a
- 45:21Speaker 3: TWO d. Tackles one's a little bit, bigger one's a
- 45:23Speaker 3: little bit. Smaller BUT i mean both of them can
- 45:25Speaker 3: play that THAT d tackle And ozwalu can play on the.
- 45:29Speaker 3: Outside PLUS i mean he's you, know six,' FOUR so
- 45:33Speaker 3: i mean that's that's never a bad thing to have
- 45:35Speaker 3: a guy. Like that, you KNOW when i think of,
- 45:38Speaker 3: you know some of these these bigger uh, you know,
- 45:40Speaker 3: OUTSIDE edges i mean most of the time is is what?
- 45:43Speaker 2: You know does he have the blend of power?
- 45:45Speaker 3: AND quickness, i mean this guy was a freshman, last
- 45:50Speaker 3: year so he'll be coming in as a.
- 45:51Speaker 2: True sophomore can't, beat, That right you get?
- 45:55Speaker 3: Him Again, Miguel Schaevis, todd bates both those guys are working.
- 45:59Speaker 2: With him so the. Coaching, JUMP now i, will say this,
- 46:02Speaker 2: is uh you've.
- 46:04Speaker 3: Got there if if the day happens where one Of
- 46:08Speaker 3: Either todd bates Retires Or miguel chavis gets his big
- 46:11Speaker 3: look and go. Somewhere else they're defensive linding coach down
- 46:15Speaker 3: there at utsa Guy. Named sadik he's he he's, a
- 46:18Speaker 3: baller and he's a GUY that i THINK that i
- 46:20Speaker 3: would love to uh to look at because he's had
- 46:23Speaker 3: some of his EDGE and D And, d lineman, you
- 46:25Speaker 3: know transferred to bigger Schools And texas scott the the kid.
- 46:28Speaker 2: Last year, you know now we get him. This year
- 46:32Speaker 2: there's there's. A lot, i mean he's putting some putting.
- 46:35Speaker 3: Some players up with. Some PRODUCTION so i think that's
- 46:38Speaker 3: a Guy that i'd watch out.
- 46:39Speaker 4: For.
- 46:39Speaker 1: Too yep, But Yeah titanium leg will. Be back he.
- 46:44Speaker 1: Has already he did his little video Saying that i'm making.
- 46:48Speaker 1: My return so you Do Get titanium leg back. Next
- 46:52Speaker 1: season so short shorts and, long kicks we'll. BE back,
- 46:57Speaker 1: i mean, we really we're we're borderline. All in we're
- 47:02Speaker 1: like a borderline all in. Situation, HERE yeah i think.
- 47:05Speaker 2: About, It, yeah tate obviously.
- 47:10Speaker 3: Not the end that you're, looking, For right, you missed
- 47:14Speaker 3: you missed a, you know a thirty some on yard.
- 47:15Speaker 3: Field goal you come up short on a fifty and
- 47:19Speaker 3: that's just a sour taste in, your mouth.
- 47:22Speaker 2: YOU know i mean it's just.
- 47:24Speaker 3: WITH kickers, i mean there's not too many teams that
- 47:26Speaker 3: are going to go draft. A kicker so he's probably
- 47:28Speaker 3: going to receive some good money to. Come back he'll go.
- 47:31Speaker 3: NEXT year i think he needs some a little bit
- 47:33Speaker 3: more maturity on his body before he goes and tries.
- 47:35Speaker 3: To kick and, god KNOWS the nfl is always looking,
- 47:37Speaker 3: for kickers so that but that's another weapon that you have.
- 47:40Speaker 3: Coming back he gets back to what he was doing all,
- 47:42Speaker 3: year long and you add, another weapon.
- 47:44Speaker 2: More retention that's all you?
- 47:46Speaker 1: Need it did you need? To add retention is just
- 47:49Speaker 1: as important. As acquisition Y'ALL know i say this over,
- 47:52Speaker 1: and Over but i'm hoping people. Understand that i'm just,
- 47:55Speaker 1: reminding y'all we you got to keep if you want
- 47:58Speaker 1: good players to. Come back he's still gotta pay him
- 48:00Speaker 1: just like. Everybody else you don't need to go get
- 48:02Speaker 1: players to basically quote unquote reorcodinal top of them or
- 48:06Speaker 1: portal players on top, of them and that happens with
- 48:09Speaker 1: some sometimes, you like, all right we realized that after
- 48:11Speaker 1: three years of working it just didn't, work out so
- 48:13Speaker 1: we probably need to go look at, another player and
- 48:17Speaker 1: here we are, doing that so, All right yeah we've.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Got some it's gonna be, a, fun fun fun next
- 48:32Speaker 1: few Days as oklahoma's got all. These visitors, TOLD y'all
- 48:36Speaker 1: jvd is here that. WAS report I Know parker thune

- 48:42Speaker 1: few people to talk. About it keep your eyes open,
- 48:44Speaker 1: for that, because yeah you're gonna. Have that you're also
- 48:49Speaker 1: gonna have probably about four or five more positions that
- 48:54Speaker 1: we're gonna. Look at and it's all gonna happen this
- 48:56Speaker 1: weekend because this is the last real weekend to really
- 49:02Speaker 1: get going because the Holidays, on monday school Starts. On

- 49:21Speaker 1: for you but, you know that majority of the listeners are,
