  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Yukon Football Coaches Show. Husky's travel
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to Florida take on Florida Atlantic. We'll talk about them
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in a few moments. They're four and six on the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: year after starting two and one. They score a bundle
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: of points, so it's going to be a challenge. Jim.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about your offense because you've got a few
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: guys here who are vying for some national awards which
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: are very prestigious. I'm going to go to Skyler belfor
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a semifinalists right now in the Bleetnikoff Award category. He's
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: got ninety three catches. And I'm a little old school
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: on this, but I was a Fred Berletnikoff fan. If
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you can believe that, going wait, I right with the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: cutoff sleeves and you know, ten degree weather and the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: guy that looked like he what is he doing on
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a football field making every catch under the sun? Anyway,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: if you're considered a semi finalist in a category that's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: named after Fred Blittnikoff, that's pretty big.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a tremendous honor I believe for Skyler,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I think it's a reflection of him as a player.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: As a person, as a worker, as a guy that's committed.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I think it's a reflection of Kashif Moore, whos his coach,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and the other guys in that room that you know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: push him every day, and I'm talking about his teammates.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I think it's a great reflection on our offensive line
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and tight ends and backs given Joe the time that
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: he that he needs to find Skyler. And then it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a reflection on Joe, you know, and the trust camaraderie
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that he's built up with Skyler over these last couple
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: of years. So that's a great one to see. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: think I can tell you as long as we don't
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: get it out and tweet it out. But Chris Freeman,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I believe, is now a semifinalist for the lou Grose Award,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: which goes to the top kicker in the country as well.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: So and there's some others.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know lou Grows, by the way, the straight
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: ahead kicker for the Cleveland Browns. For those of us
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: listening who don't know who lou Gros is, he was
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the guy that had the flat toe right for the shoe.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: On his kay all used to kind of have that right.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: The old flat, the squared off till they were straight
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: on kickers. You don't see that anymore.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: He was listening when I was growing up watching that stuff.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: He was the scariest kicker because we always felt like,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: as a giant fan, he's gonna kick a fifty yarder
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and beat us. I can tell kind of guy. He was.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Skyler Bell at eight catches against the Air Force, got
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty three and two years over two
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: thousand yards Figna Jo Fernano. You mentioned three thousand yards
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of this season, and we talk about him almost every
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: week because statistically he has not had a real down day.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Credit the offensive line obviously and the backs that have
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to block for him. But a quarterback, and you've seen
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of great ones, they have to have a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: certain skill in that pocket, and he seems to have
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it to be able to step up still, keep his
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: eyes down the field since where the receivers are going
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to come open, and then deliver the ball. That's that's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the other thing to me which has been impressive about
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Joe Finiano. He's able to deliver the ball quickly. I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: mean when he sees the man breaking open, you got
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to hit him and you got to be accurate, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: he's been doing that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe. You know, I was lucky to be around
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: some really good quarterback coaches in my career growing up,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and you know, Bill Walsh obviously was the most well
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: known of all those guys, and Mike Holmgren and Don
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Corriel and I mean some pretty darn good ones. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Coach Walsh used to always say the number one attribute
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you're looking for in a quarterback is a decision maker
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and how he processes. And Joe is shown to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a really good decision maker, and that's both on and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: off the field. You know, he's just a quality person.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: He lives his life the right way. He does the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: work necessary to be prepared to go out on Saturdays
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and play his best game. He's consistent as can be,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and it shows up in the way he plays. You know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: his decision making is has been impeccable and he's got
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to continue to do those things. But he's played himself
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: into a position where people are starting to take notice
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of just how good he can be and how good
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: he's been.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great it's been a great run for
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: him at ukont Cam Edwards hundred sixty five yards on
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the weekend is fourth one hundred yard game. He went
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: over a thousand yards. He's fourteenth all time in Yukon history.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: And there's been some good running backs at Yukon over
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the years. Donald Brown comes to mind, who had a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: great NFL career as well. Edwards with the one hundred and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: sixty five. It was good to see him back, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: as a mainstay on the offense. He had great games
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: all year, but this one was particularly important.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I thought, I completely agree Mike. He just he's been
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: having a really good year, but it's been overshadowed a
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: little bit by you know, what Skyland and Joe have
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: done in the past game. And you know, he reached
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a thousand yards rushing and I don't know how many
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: times that's been done at Yukon, And it doesn't really matter.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It only matters that Cam was able to get that
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: done this year once again, with the help of a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: tremendous group of offensive linemen and tight ends and receivers
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that are willing to go block down field. But to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: see how far he's come since he first got here
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: out of Norwalk, Connecticut, playing dB to you a thousand
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: yard rusher and really kind of the toughness of this team.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: A lot of it comes from him. Is really cool man.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: It's really neat to be a part of that. I
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: love what he's doing.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty two carries in the second half when the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: game was certainly hanging in the balance, he ran for
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty as Yukon I was able to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: beat Air Force. We're going to talk Fau when we
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: come back. Jimore with us. The Yukon Football Coaches Show
