2:12
Speaker 1: to touch on this hire. I dropped a video this
2:15
Speaker 1: morning because I started to put together some tea leaves
2:17
Speaker 1: last night, and i'ma explain kind of my thinking when
2:21
Speaker 1: it came to that. But we've got to get coops
2:23
Speaker 1: thoughts on that, and we'll talk through some of these hires.
2:25
Speaker 2: Man.
2:25
Speaker 1: So shout out to our partners there at Sleeper. If
2:28
Speaker 1: you ain't used the a Daily Fantasy Ball, you are
2:29
Speaker 1: missing out. Use the promo code unfair. They're gonna match
2:33
Speaker 1: your first deposit one hundred percent up to one hundred bucks. Coop,
2:37
Speaker 1: we just hired a running back coach like this came
2:39
Speaker 1: out of nowhere in a way. So yeah, I want
2:45
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts first, and I'm gonna break down
2:47
Speaker 1: to everybody how I figured it out.
2:50
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm away. Shouldn't have seen this coming, right, He
2:54
Speaker 2: sent us kids here the moment that name got whispered,
2:57
Speaker 2: there you go, you know, and that that had to
2:59
Speaker 2: be it. No, But I I want to start out
3:01
Speaker 2: with this because we we were talking a little bit before.
3:05
Speaker 2: There were two times that he could have brought his
3:11
Speaker 2: kids where he was going, and he told Deshaun, like, hey,
3:17
Speaker 2: you want to be a linebacker when he is transferring
3:19
Speaker 2: out of Indiana. If you want to be a linebacker,
3:22
Speaker 2: I mean, Brett Vennible is probably who you want to
3:24
Speaker 2: go learn under, right, and so the saw Mcola transfers here.
3:31
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, we knew he was a tweeter right
3:33
Speaker 2: from the get go. He had the ankle situation situation.
3:37
Speaker 2: But then uh, you know, Da just goes and uh
3:40
Speaker 2: you know commits here also as he's moving over to
3:42
Speaker 2: Notre Dame and but uh here here's my thoughts. Is
3:48
Speaker 2: uh Ashton jen Z estimate love Edwards Hilaire. I mean
3:56
Speaker 2: he Damian Williams, Damian Williams who former sooner, right won
4:00
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl with Damian Williams. You know, Damian Williams
4:04
Speaker 2: had a phenomenal twenty nineteen season, and then he was
4:08
Speaker 2: one of the guys that set out for COVID. And
4:11
Speaker 2: then you know, even go back Howard and reading Coleman,
4:14
Speaker 2: like there are so many running backs who not only
4:19
Speaker 2: had great years. You know, you got a fifteen hundred there,
4:23
Speaker 2: you got Coleman with twenty thirty six GENTI obviously he
4:29
Speaker 2: is he was really really good working with the Raiders
4:32
Speaker 2: and just getting anything at a genty with a Cheeks
4:36
Speaker 2: offense all the way around you in a cheeks defense,
4:38
Speaker 2: and you know the worst, you know, worst team in
4:41
Speaker 2: the league. But you know, Kareem Hunt, like, this guy
4:44
Speaker 2: has worked with some absolute studs, you know when it
4:48
Speaker 2: came down to running backs, and he's gotten production and
4:50
Speaker 2: he's got an explosive production. Dami Williams has I think
4:53
Speaker 2: the longest touchdown against Texas in ou Texas history.
4:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he.
4:58
Speaker 2: Had a ninety one yard you know under uh under Dalen.
5:03
Speaker 2: So I'm excited because the guy has It's it's proof,
5:06
Speaker 2: right you, your proof concept is absolutely there. It went
5:10
Speaker 2: completely different than I think any of us would have
5:13
Speaker 2: imagined it happening. And so you know, when when when
5:18
Speaker 2: you say, hey, how did you do with losing guys,
5:22
Speaker 2: and did you do any was it an upgrade? Did
5:25
Speaker 2: you did you get somebody back who's comparable? I think
5:29
Speaker 2: I saw it in our in our in our internal
5:31
Speaker 2: internal discord that I think that night. Recruiting wise, probably
5:35
Speaker 2: ninety percent of what DeMarco's done. But as far as
5:39
Speaker 2: like development, I mean he kind of laps to Marco
5:43
Speaker 2: a little bit. So I mean, I think this is
5:45
Speaker 2: a this is a fantastic hire.
5:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love what he brings to the table for
5:52
Speaker 1: what we're trying to achieve as a team. Like he
5:57
Speaker 1: he he was a He's a great hire in my
5:59
Speaker 1: personal opinion, right, Like, what we needed was a running
6:04
Speaker 1: back coach with not only success, but history of that.
6:10
Speaker 1: And that's the most important thing when it comes to
6:12
Speaker 1: bringing in a hire like this. You want somebody that
6:15
Speaker 1: has has success that you can actually point out. And
6:22
Speaker 1: so for me, I talked about it like that in
6:25
Speaker 1: the video before, but for the uninitiated, let me go
6:27
Speaker 1: ahead and kind of break down what happened. So so,
6:32
Speaker 1: Dylan McCulla has been mentioned for like the last week
6:36
Speaker 1: or so. I've seen it a few places. I know
6:40
Speaker 1: that some of the insiders even had it on their
6:42
Speaker 1: boards or whatnot. And I thought it was an interesting idea.
6:45
Speaker 1: I thought that it was a pipe dream. He left
6:47
Speaker 1: college football. He's been in the NFL this whole time, right,
6:50
Speaker 1: And what makes me think he would leave the NFL
6:53
Speaker 1: to come back to college. That has always been my
6:56
Speaker 1: mindset of guys that go to the NFL. And so
7:00
Speaker 1: so I remember seeing last week that the Chiefs had
7:06
Speaker 1: reached out to try to get a interview, and it
7:14
Speaker 1: sounds like he declined, said interview, and I was like, okay,
7:19
Speaker 1: so he's gonna stick with the Raiders or whatnot. P
7:21
Speaker 1: Carroll gets fired, Clint Kubiak gets hired, and the question
7:25
Speaker 1: was would he be retained. Well, he was on the
7:27
Speaker 1: website coop, so I was like, there's no question about that.
7:30
Speaker 1: All of my percentages with him dropped to like half
7:32
Speaker 1: a percent that there was a chance that he was
7:35
Speaker 1: in hired. Then this week happened. I saw that someone
7:41
Speaker 1: posted that he was no longer on the Raiders website.
7:44
Speaker 1: I was like, okay. While Clint Kobiak then hired his
7:48
Speaker 1: running game coordinator and brought him with them. Okay, so
7:51
Speaker 1: that means that he is going to be with the
7:56
Speaker 1: you know, the Raiders probably you know, decided to bring
7:58
Speaker 1: their own guys, so well, she'd probably up in seattlecause
8:01
Speaker 1: Sattle doesn't have a running back coach at the time.
8:03
Speaker 1: So last night I saw the post by Kevin Wilson.
8:07
Speaker 1: He put the little eyeballs thinking and I was like, oh, oh,
8:10
Speaker 1: that's something. That's something because like you said before, he
8:14
Speaker 1: said in the green room, and you said the numerous
8:15
Speaker 1: times his one post every like six months, he don't
8:19
Speaker 1: post very often, very it's kind of the point and
8:22
Speaker 1: when I saw it, I'm like, uh, oh, Kevin knows
8:25
Speaker 1: something well. After that, I started digging. First off, for
8:35
Speaker 1: the those that don't know this to uninitiated, the first
8:40
Speaker 1: job that Dylan McCullough got as a running back coach
8:43
Speaker 1: was for Kevin Wilson at Indiana twenty eleven to twenty sixteen.
8:47
Speaker 1: His first ever RB coaching job was with Kevin Wilson,
8:51
Speaker 1: so he knows him very well. So when Kevin posted that,
8:54
Speaker 1: when Cada posted that, that's when I was like, Eh,
8:58
Speaker 1: there's something because they have a connection. Second thing on
9:02
Speaker 1: that this morning, when I woke up because I was
9:04
Speaker 1: gonna record something last night to talk about it, but
9:06
Speaker 1: it was late, I was like, I'm gonna go to bed.
9:09
Speaker 1: This morning, I looked and Northern Illinois coach got hired
9:17
Speaker 1: as the running back coach of the Seattle Seahawks. And
9:20
Speaker 1: when I looked at that at seven o'clock this morning,
9:22
Speaker 1: like seven, you know, fifteen this morning, I was like, yep,
9:26
Speaker 1: I think they may actually pull this up. So I dropped.
9:28
Speaker 1: I've jumped from half a percent up to like eighty
9:31
Speaker 1: five because now these the stars are aligning, and I
9:38
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, if this is gonna happen, these dudes
9:42
Speaker 1: are pulled off a coup because I remember I was
9:44
Speaker 1: watching his video of film here Indiana background, that's back
9:48
Speaker 1: when he was working with Kevin Wilson. It's like, that's
9:51
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. And so then he was he
9:53
Speaker 1: was announced that you know by you know, all the
9:56
Speaker 1: insider folks that he's about to take this job. But
9:59
Speaker 1: my point by was is this is a fantastic higher
10:04
Speaker 1: and this is why he has skin in the game
10:08
Speaker 1: NFL experience, got a Super Bowl ring coach running backs
10:11
Speaker 1: at the NFL level, so he understands how to get
10:13
Speaker 1: them prepared for a Super Bowl run. Even though you
10:16
Speaker 1: got one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, you
10:17
Speaker 1: still need the running backs to be able to be productive.
10:20
Speaker 1: They showed that Clyde Edwards Roulaire was pretty darn good.
10:22
Speaker 1: So it was Damian Williams x sooner. Jeremiah Love was
10:26
Speaker 1: one of his recruits. Gues. He recruited Jeremiah Love to
10:30
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and he got to get a thousand yard
10:33
Speaker 1: season out of him before he went to the Raiders.
10:35
Speaker 1: And in this past season, Jeremiah Love won the dope
10:37
Speaker 1: walker tells you something right there, right, he knows what
10:40
Speaker 1: the hell he's doing.
10:41
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you go back to you also had
10:45
Speaker 2: like one of the years I think that is, I
10:47
Speaker 2: mean Tevin Coleman at Indiana two thousand yard season in
10:51
Speaker 2: college football.
10:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's a note.
10:54
Speaker 2: No, Kenny Wilson and him did that two thousand yards, right,
10:57
Speaker 2: And so then you go to twenty seventeen with Ronald
11:00
Speaker 2: Jones at USC quarterback of that team Samuel Darnold, So
11:06
Speaker 2: they had a really really good offense. I don't think
11:12
Speaker 2: that they had much at receiver really, but again ran
11:16
Speaker 2: for twenty five hundred yards as a team. So I
11:20
Speaker 2: and from what I'm hearing, he's already had conversations with
11:23
Speaker 2: a couple of people, a couple of the recruits that
11:26
Speaker 2: we got going on, and some of the kids are
11:29
Speaker 2: getting educated. But when you throw those names out there
11:32
Speaker 2: once again of Jeremiah Love, Arodric Estimay, who is on
11:37
Speaker 2: the I believe I'm gonna go with the Saints now,
11:40
Speaker 2: he was on the Denver Broncos, Kareem Hunt, Damian Williams,
11:46
Speaker 2: Tevin Coleman, like Ashton Jenty every single one of these
11:51
Speaker 2: recruits know who that is because as they are developing
11:55
Speaker 2: the tackle, you know, the tackle football thing, like Johnsy's
11:58
Speaker 2: just out there running for hundred and eighty yards a game.
12:01
Speaker 2: So this guy's done it at a lot of the
12:04
Speaker 2: bigger places, right. He earned it at Notre Dame I'm sorry,
12:08
Speaker 2: at Indiana and was at a Miami, Ohio USC, Kansas
12:12
Speaker 2: City Chiefs, Notre Dame, Vegas ou. So if you're like, yeah,
12:18
Speaker 2: but can he do it in the SEC, Yeah, he
12:20
Speaker 2: can do in the SEC.
12:22
Speaker 1: Yeah.
12:22
Speaker 2: Can he do it in the big time programs, Yeah
12:24
Speaker 2: he can. And fun fact, Jay, we got a couple
12:27
Speaker 2: good running backs on this team that I think, with
12:30
Speaker 2: some health and some really good coaching, can make him
12:34
Speaker 2: look really really good too.
12:37
Speaker 1: It's all it's gonna take, right, And so you brought
12:41
Speaker 1: in a coach that's proven on the recruiting feel. You
12:44
Speaker 1: brought in a guy that has shown it he can
12:47
Speaker 1: develop those recruits that he brings in m that's what.
12:51
Speaker 1: And you've seen that you have a guy that is
12:54
Speaker 1: really good at working in the NFL as well. He's
12:58
Speaker 1: worked with a lot of good people. People like him,
13:00
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs tried to bring them back. That's something.
13:03
Speaker 1: And there's another thing. I'm gonna give a shout out
13:05
Speaker 1: to Game and Teddy on this. I heard them talk
13:06
Speaker 1: about this on their show because it was something I
13:08
Speaker 1: was thinking about and I was curious to the thought
13:10
Speaker 1: process behind this. Delan McCullough sent both of his boys
13:16
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma. Yeah, both of his boys spent a couple
13:20
Speaker 1: of years, ended up going hitting the portal and rolling out.
13:27
Speaker 1: He decided that he wanted to come to work for
13:29
Speaker 1: Brent Vinibles at Oklahoma afterwards. That tells you a lot
13:33
Speaker 1: about the relationship. That tells you a lot about very much.
13:39
Speaker 1: Just the respect for Brent Vinnibles he had right like
13:42
Speaker 1: that to me was big because because I was looking
13:48
Speaker 1: at it, there was a there's a picture of course
13:52
Speaker 1: of them visiting you know after you know, the boys
13:59
Speaker 1: come to Oklahom. Let me show you this, both of
14:04
Speaker 1: them here in Sooner Land. He's been on campus, he's
14:07
Speaker 1: built a relationship with the coaching staff, and because of
14:11
Speaker 1: all of that, he decided to pull up and come
14:14
Speaker 1: work here at Oklahoma. That's huge. So shout out to
14:16
Speaker 1: Brint Vinables, shout out to Jim Naggy, whoever's all involved.
14:20
Speaker 1: That's huge that we were able to pull a running
14:24
Speaker 1: back coach who has so much pedigree and so much
14:31
Speaker 1: so many accomplishments like that, So I'm stoked about it.
14:35
Speaker 1: It was a it. This adds, honestly a nice feather
14:39
Speaker 1: to the cap of Vnables with his hiring. We need
14:42
Speaker 1: to talk about the three latest hires that Oklahoma's made.
14:47
Speaker 1: Let me answer this question here, Hi, Bazinga, Hey, fellas
14:50
Speaker 1: with the coaching change, are we worried about any players decommitting?
14:52
Speaker 1: If they were gonna decommit, they'd have already done it
14:54
Speaker 1: by now.
14:56
Speaker 3: It's been a minute exactly.
14:58
Speaker 1: It's been a while since you know, we've I brought
15:00
Speaker 1: it in to people. So but we're gonna talk about
15:02
Speaker 1: that more on the other side of this, because this
15:05
Speaker 1: is definitely a conversation that we have to have before

16:53
Speaker 1: the five bucks again. With the coaching change, are we
16:56
Speaker 1: worried about player? Any players he's committing and I kind
16:59
Speaker 1: of we kind of dressed that in it. That's the
17:00
Speaker 1: one thing they're keep in mind with this hire. With
17:02
Speaker 1: these hires, like if we were gonna lose coaches, they
17:06
Speaker 1: would have been gone by now in my personal opinion,
17:09
Speaker 1: right like you lost Javeli a couple of weeks ago,
17:13
Speaker 1: and you bring in Lamar Morgan, which to me was
17:16
Speaker 1: a fantastic hire. Someone that does a really good job
17:18
Speaker 1: of recruiting in Michigan had a really good secondary the
17:22
Speaker 1: last few years under Jim Harbaugh as well as even
17:25
Speaker 1: under cherom Moore besides his ol fiasco, they had really
17:29
Speaker 1: good You know that, a pretty solid secondary. Who was
17:31
Speaker 1: that Will Johnson was the corner at one of the
17:34
Speaker 1: top corners in the country that was on that roster. Yeah,
17:37
Speaker 1: that's all I needed to know about that, right you
17:39
Speaker 1: have that? You know, you bring in Jason Whitten after
17:42
Speaker 1: Joe John Finley's gone at the beginning of the year,
17:45
Speaker 1: Jason Whitten, all the transfer players are like, I want
17:48
Speaker 1: to be coached by him. Hell, Hayden Henson was talking
17:51
Speaker 1: about how as a freshman when he first came in
17:54
Speaker 1: my guy over at Lockdown Gators, Brandon Olsen had interviewed
17:57
Speaker 1: him and he said that he wants to model his
17:59
Speaker 1: game to Jason Witden. Well, guess what he gets you that? Yes,
18:04
Speaker 1: so he's got that in front of him. And then lastly,
18:07
Speaker 1: you bring in Dylan McCullough as a running back coach.
18:09
Speaker 1: Now we know that DeMarco Murray was a fantastic recruiter
18:12
Speaker 1: and kids came to Oklahoma because of him. That was
18:15
Speaker 1: an essage just being you know, being true, right Michael Rhodes,
18:18
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty eight five star running back, you know
18:20
Speaker 1: that was the big thing with him. He's a DeMarco
18:22
Speaker 1: Murray guy. He ain't decommitted yet, and it sounds like
18:26
Speaker 1: the relationship and the selection there, this dude played it,
18:29
Speaker 1: I said NFL coach. He also had Jeremiah Love. He
18:33
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. It sounds like they're like, oh, well,
18:36
Speaker 1: I think I want to be here. So in conclusion,
18:38
Speaker 1: to me, we gucci on that I have zero concerns
18:42
Speaker 1: about any running back decommitting because I think some of
18:45
Speaker 1: the insiders have actually reported on that. I have zero
18:49
Speaker 1: concerns and tight ends. I have zero concerns in DBS
18:55
Speaker 1: right now. I think we're solid. What about you, Coop.
19:02
Speaker 2: Let me just say this and I'm gonna go with
19:05
Speaker 2: the let me play Devil's advocate here you go, there's
19:12
Speaker 2: not really a platform for Devil's Advocate with Jason Whitten
19:18
Speaker 2: coming in for Joe John Finley. The only thing that
19:22
Speaker 2: you can kind of point towards Joe John Finley for
19:24
Speaker 2: doing well since he's been here, was recruiting a five
19:29
Speaker 2: star reclassified tied end. They never saw the field and
19:35
Speaker 2: has yet to see the field anywhere else. And I've
19:38
Speaker 2: told you, and I've said I've been I firmly believe
19:41
Speaker 2: that there's not a one hundred percent just blind you know,
19:49
Speaker 2: blinders on some of these kids. I think that some
19:53
Speaker 2: of them. Excuse me, I think that some of them
19:57
Speaker 2: know who they are. And when you're a defensive back
20:02
Speaker 2: in the Saban era and you are about to get
20:06
Speaker 2: recruited by Nick Saban and everything, and you're watching everything
20:10
Speaker 2: out there and you're like, and I I think I
20:14
Speaker 2: could be that good, but I don't know if I'm
20:16
Speaker 2: that good. And then in Oklahoma comes calling, giving up
20:20
Speaker 2: thirty two points a game in the Big twelve, you
20:24
Speaker 2: could be a headline recruited. Oh you, But at Alabama,
20:28
Speaker 2: you're coming as a four star guy and you never
20:30
Speaker 2: see the field. You're I mean, Nick Saban's going to
20:33
Speaker 2: say that door right there, the exit sign, right, that's
20:36
Speaker 2: where you're gonna leave and just go somewhere else. Right,
20:39
Speaker 2: You're never gonna see the field, but I will go
20:42
Speaker 2: back to like Davon Mitchell, like, I don't think that
20:45
Speaker 2: he ever was going to be a great tight end.
20:48
Speaker 2: I think that he was on a team with some
20:50
Speaker 2: decent weapons, And I think you're severely immature. And that's
20:54
Speaker 2: really all you can say, Joe John Finley. Eh, he
20:58
Speaker 2: almost got credited with Jaron Cannick. But I think Jaron
21:04
Speaker 2: Cannick is going to give you really good effort one
21:09
Speaker 2: hundred percent of the time, and he may fail like
21:12
Speaker 2: blocking edges at times, he may fail, but he's going
21:16
Speaker 2: to fail giving effort. And so I think that like
21:18
Speaker 2: his performance this year, I don't credit that to jo
21:22
Speaker 2: John Finley. I credit that to Jaron Cannick. So you
21:27
Speaker 2: take an upgrade to Witten. Now, can Witten recruit? I
21:32
Speaker 2: don't know. Can Witton coach? I don't know. Is the
21:36
Speaker 2: bard just low enough that it really doesn't matter, because
21:40
Speaker 2: I think that Jason Witten's name alone is a better
21:43
Speaker 2: recruiting tool than anything Jojohn Finley puts together. Sure go
21:46
Speaker 2: with Vly. Vly bounced around a lot. He left Alabama
21:50
Speaker 2: for Oklahoma. So how can I say that about a receiver,
21:53
Speaker 2: I mean a defensive back choosing ou over over Alabama
21:56
Speaker 2: in the middle of Alabama putting together top five defenses
21:59
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma being the laughing stock on defense Ville I
22:03
Speaker 2: came here and since then we've had decent defensive backs.
22:08
Speaker 2: Defensive back play last year was the best it's been
22:10
Speaker 2: in quite a while. Two years ago it was pretty
22:13
Speaker 2: good too, even with guys like an I Walker and
22:17
Speaker 2: Woody Washington. But it's continued to get better. But then
22:22
Speaker 2: you go look at Morgan and you pull them from
22:24
Speaker 2: Michigan and you're watching these all Americans and all conference
22:27
Speaker 2: players that he coached, and then high round draft picks.
22:31
Speaker 2: I mean, that's an upgrade. And then you got McCullough
22:36
Speaker 2: with the laundry list of running backs. Jay who's the
22:40
Speaker 2: last thousand yard rusher?
22:41
Speaker 1: Oh you Gret Gray? Sweet sweet two.
22:49
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now this offense went from high flying to it
22:55
Speaker 2: looking like a tumbleweed. Like it has not been good
22:59
Speaker 2: overall in quite a long time, and DeMarco's been a
23:03
Speaker 2: part of that. And whether it's the all around offense
23:05
Speaker 2: or whatever, I'm not sure, but we can finally get
23:08
Speaker 2: back to the spots where we just love DeMarco as
23:11
Speaker 2: the football player, kind of like how we did when
23:14
Speaker 2: it was time for Josh Hipel to leave. You can
23:16
Speaker 2: love him as the football player, but what he.
23:18
Speaker 1: Did here was just.
23:21
Speaker 2: So I think, Jay, if you can say all three
23:23
Speaker 2: position coaches, I see an upgrade, even with Witten not
23:29
Speaker 2: really having any anything. The bar was so low with
23:34
Speaker 2: Joe John Finley that he can't help but feel like
23:38
Speaker 2: it's an upgrade just because of his name alone. It's
23:40
Speaker 2: almost like hiring Bo Jackson as your running backs coach,
23:44
Speaker 2: Like can he coach? Can he recruit? I don't know,
23:46
Speaker 2: but his name is freaking Bo Jackson and people are
23:48
Speaker 2: going to chime up to that. So I'm my rant
23:53
Speaker 2: ends with I think that Finley, Vlaie DeMarco Art, every
24:00
Speaker 2: single I mean, across the board are upgraded. The closest
24:03
Speaker 2: one to I'm not sure is probably the Val Morgan one.
24:06
Speaker 2: But Morgan's put more defensive backs in the NFL than
24:09
Speaker 2: Vli did, which is the goal.
24:17
Speaker 1: So I'm different in the mindset around Valya because I
24:24
Speaker 1: don't fault Vally for the sins of the father. Right
24:28
Speaker 1: Like val comes in and he's completely they have to.
24:32
Speaker 1: They basically revamped the dB room. Remember they brought in
24:35
Speaker 1: portal players every year except for last season. Last seam
24:41
Speaker 1: was the first season we've been bringing a single portal corner.
24:44
Speaker 1: And you had Eli who was a freshman you know,
24:47
Speaker 1: all conference freshman, uh, first teamer actually All American All
24:52
Speaker 1: Freshman team, right, you get him and in Courtland last year.
24:55
Speaker 1: So I give a lie a lot of credit for that.
24:57
Speaker 1: He fit perfectly in what Brent Vnable was trying to do.
25:01
Speaker 1: You're right, I'm I'm a big fan of Lamar Morgan.
25:05
Speaker 1: I like I like said, like you mentioned, his track
25:08
Speaker 1: record is fantastic. Valide didn't have didn't have the opportunity.
25:11
Speaker 1: But the thing is is he stuck it out here
25:14
Speaker 1: and he did improve that dB room. So I give
25:17
Speaker 1: him Matt props for that. I like Lamar Morgan because
25:21
Speaker 1: I since Lamar, we've seen Lamar's track record, and we
25:25
Speaker 1: were getting Vali's track record right, Like you said, he
25:27
Speaker 1: bounced around, but he was he was sitting roots and
25:30
Speaker 1: I love that.
25:32
Speaker 2: Now, before you continue, bars are low with Finley and
25:38
Speaker 2: I don't and DeMarco so I don't Lie, I hold
25:42
Speaker 2: higher standard. I think val was phenomenal and I think
25:47
Speaker 2: track record to continue to be that good. I just
25:49
Speaker 2: think that Morgan has just accomplished a little bit more
25:52
Speaker 2: so it's still an upgrade.
25:53
Speaker 1: Yeah. Another wrong with that, Yeah, And I don't disagree
25:56
Speaker 1: with you on that portion of it, right Like, but
25:58
Speaker 1: I loved what vly I was doing with those dvs
26:00
Speaker 1: and he was bringing some recruits. Man, the dogs he
26:02
Speaker 1: was getting. It was a combo of him and BV
26:05
Speaker 1: And it was just that Valiah let them be physical
26:08
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. They love that Vali talk some
26:11
Speaker 1: great technique. I've listened to val talk do some speeches
26:14
Speaker 1: and talking around defenses and sets and stuff and how
26:18
Speaker 1: they should play. I was impressed. I was impressed with
26:22
Speaker 1: listening to him talk ball. So but yeah, no, and
26:26
Speaker 1: so like with Finley, thank you for your service as
26:29
Speaker 1: a Sooner, I'm not even gonna even talk about his bar.
26:31
Speaker 1: In my personal opinion, I am very happy that Jason Witten.
26:38
Speaker 1: He can use name equity to start. Now. He's just
26:41
Speaker 1: got to prove to us in the role in which
26:43
Speaker 1: I think you will. I have zero doubts that he'll
26:46
Speaker 1: be able to show. These kids are gonna immediately flock
26:49
Speaker 1: to him, specifically because they know him as a future
26:53
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame tight end. And then McCullough between him
26:57
Speaker 1: and DeMarco, he said, DeMarco's fantastic recruiter, just like you
27:00
Speaker 1: know mccullull. The big question is gonna be the development side.
27:03
Speaker 1: And we've seen McCullough develop, We've seen DeMarco have moments.
27:07
Speaker 1: His room hasn't been very healthy either. When Gavin Saltchuk
27:11
Speaker 1: got healthy, he gave you five straight hundred yard games,
27:13
Speaker 1: over six hundred yards in a season, So you know
27:16
Speaker 1: he he was solid when he got healthy. Barnes was
27:19
Speaker 1: hurt that same year. The next year, ex Rob stays hurt. Right, Well,
27:23
Speaker 1: you get x Rob late in the season and he
27:25
Speaker 1: gets hurt, but he gets you one hundred yards against Bama.
27:27
Speaker 1: But the entire team was in that offense was and
27:29
Speaker 1: so you saw changes. But again, what I want to
27:33
Speaker 1: do is get us another thousand yard rusher, and I
27:35
Speaker 1: think mccull is the one that's gonna get us over
27:38
Speaker 1: the hump to do that. And so but DM does
27:40
Speaker 1: a good job of attracting kids, We know that much.
27:43
Speaker 1: But I love all three hords. If I have to
27:46
Speaker 1: grade them, if you graded them, what would you give
27:51
Speaker 1: the grade for each spot?
27:57
Speaker 2: Do you want like the grade as in me, let
28:01
Speaker 2: me just so Finly to Witten. As far as an upgrade,
28:05
Speaker 2: I give it a B. As far as like a
28:08
Speaker 2: grade for just that's how good.
28:11
Speaker 1: Of a person is what your kids' names, you know?
28:17
Speaker 1: So you know that.
28:20
Speaker 2: So my daughter's name is Finland and my son's name
28:23
Speaker 2: is Witten. Has nothing to do with either of these cats.
28:27
Speaker 2: But to go from jo John Finley to Jason Witten
28:30
Speaker 2: and my son being Witten Cooper and Jason Witten's son
28:36
Speaker 2: being Cooper Witten, like I said, like I got, I
28:42
Speaker 2: got equity. I got equity in it. So but as
28:45
Speaker 2: far as like if you take away the Jo John
28:48
Speaker 2: Finley part of the tight end higher, I give it
28:50
Speaker 2: a C because I think it can go either way.
28:55
Speaker 2: As far as the VALI from the upgrade, it's an
28:59
Speaker 2: up that's right. As far as just the hire itself,
29:02
Speaker 2: I think it's a B. B plus DeMarco being a Sooner,
29:08
Speaker 2: being an offensive Player of the Year in the NFL,
29:12
Speaker 2: and have a name equity. He was great at recruiting.
29:15
Speaker 2: But we just can't forget the running back rotation under
29:22
Speaker 2: Jeff Levy. We can't forget like the just running back
29:27
Speaker 2: has been a damn question. It's just been so odd
29:31
Speaker 2: and then you throw in the Jason or the Jade,
29:33
Speaker 2: not stuff you throw in, just the weird injuries you
29:37
Speaker 2: throw in, you know, maybe what Javonte Barnes this year.
29:42
Speaker 2: It's just like there's a lot there this year, like, well,
29:46
Speaker 2: what's going on here?
29:48
Speaker 1: And so I think how many questions about any of
29:50
Speaker 1: that stuff? To be absolutely honest, like it was pretty
29:53
Speaker 1: self explory.
29:54
Speaker 2: To me, But I think that the fan base has
29:56
Speaker 2: lots of questions because I think that the people who
29:58
Speaker 2: don't spend a third of their life really and indulged
30:02
Speaker 2: in all this stuff are wondering. Like, you know, you
30:05
Speaker 2: remember a couple of years ago, You're like, so guy
30:08
Speaker 2: comes in, runs for one hundred yards, looks really really good,
30:13
Speaker 2: gets two carries the next week, Like it was just
30:17
Speaker 2: always tallwe Walker, the Javante Barnes, the Gavin Sawchuk, Like
30:23
Speaker 2: there was just a lot of weirdness. So it's like
30:25
Speaker 2: since then, like I'm like, what's going on? So as
30:28
Speaker 2: far as like hiring mccolla, as you take DeMarco away
30:31
Speaker 2: from it, hiring McCulla, I think is a BB plus.
30:35
Speaker 2: Like I really do think that Jason Witten can end
30:39
Speaker 2: up being an A plus. I think that Morgan mccola
30:42
Speaker 2: as a BB plus Like that's a pretty I don't
30:45
Speaker 2: know who would have been better, but I just again,
30:47
Speaker 2: it's like the higher parts. Now, let's what's what happens.
30:51
Speaker 2: Does it turn into an A? Does it turn into
30:53
Speaker 2: an A plus? If somebody runs for fourteen hundred yards
30:59
Speaker 2: this year? Is it fortuitous that your offensive line is
31:04
Speaker 2: made up of blue chip guys and studs and went
31:09
Speaker 2: see the growth from freshman year to sophomore years? Like,
31:12
Speaker 2: will he benefit from that? Because I, you know, I said,
31:15
Speaker 2: like our offense, our running backs, production, all kind of
31:20
Speaker 2: you know, it starts at the offensive line this year.
31:23
Speaker 2: But Jay, I mean, I'm sorry, I'm taking too much time.
31:25
Speaker 2: I just say that the these hires like you upgrade
31:28
Speaker 2: and undoubtedly upgraded in every position. And you got guys
31:33
Speaker 2: that NFL teams were wanting and other larger programs were wanting.
31:38
Speaker 2: So that that's pretty self explanatory.
31:41
Speaker 1: So yeah, grade wise, for me, I'll give him a
31:43
Speaker 1: cola higher A. Personally, you bring in a guy with
31:47
Speaker 1: with UH, with actual uh like said skinning the game.
31:51
Speaker 1: I'll also give Morgan, I give him an I give
31:55
Speaker 1: him a minus. And and again it's another guy with
31:58
Speaker 1: skin in the game, no, the recruiter. Both of both
32:02
Speaker 1: played the position, so that makes it even better, right
32:04
Speaker 1: when you bring in coaches that actually played the position
32:06
Speaker 1: at the collegiate level. Morgan, Lamar Morgan played at Louisiana.
32:10
Speaker 1: He played corner. He was a former defensive coordinator. And
32:13
Speaker 1: that's that was the kind of the thing I noticed
32:15
Speaker 1: as well as about what vnnibles was doing. He was
32:17
Speaker 1: getting the defensive guys he's hired. Everybody on staff now
32:22
Speaker 1: besides Shaevis and Bates are former like besides his Clemson
32:27
Speaker 1: guys were former defensive coordinators. That's huge. That's huge for
32:31
Speaker 1: like just the brain power that you just put in
32:35
Speaker 1: that room, people that have had to call plays and
32:37
Speaker 1: understand scenarios and everything that should help with the evaluation
32:42
Speaker 1: going up against somebody these squads. I mean that's big.
32:45
Speaker 1: Ny Dryland was a DC, you know, Wes Goodwin was
32:48
Speaker 1: the d C. Brandon Hall was a DC. Now Lamar
32:50
Speaker 1: Morgan d C. Schaevis and Bates were his guys the
32:54
Speaker 1: entire time on defensive line of Clemson, so you know,
32:57
Speaker 1: didn't anything to be DC's going forward. But that's huge.
33:00
Speaker 2: And but I also say this is Hey, we're thinking
33:04
Speaker 2: we want to do this at So Morgan goes walking
33:07
Speaker 2: into Brandon Hall, BB, Driling Goodwin. You know, he goes
33:13
Speaker 2: in and he says, hey, we want to do this
33:15
Speaker 2: at defensive back. And if we do this, how does
33:17
Speaker 2: that affect you guys? Because in my in my mind memory,
33:22
Speaker 2: how we do these things? If I'm calling defense, That's
33:25
Speaker 2: the question I'm asking is the DC is you know,
33:27
Speaker 2: if I do run this corner blitz from the white
33:30
Speaker 2: side words boundary corner, Like, how how are you guys
33:34
Speaker 2: going to be affected in this scheme? And so you
33:37
Speaker 2: So I think that going along with what you say
33:40
Speaker 2: is the DC's experience, like there's more and more thoughtfulness
33:47
Speaker 2: so that you don't end up with so many of
33:49
Speaker 2: these situations to where you're asking a safety to make
33:53
Speaker 2: a tackle or give up a seventy five yard touchdown
33:56
Speaker 2: like we saw against Michigan. And I think that that
33:59
Speaker 2: just capable ability to think not only about your position,
34:02
Speaker 2: because hell, you can say, hey, listen, I wire on
34:04
Speaker 2: this corner blitz. He's going to lera Jenkins his ass
34:07
Speaker 2: right down the sideline, and if we get there, it's
34:10
Speaker 2: gonna be a big play. And you're like, well, what
34:13
Speaker 2: about the coverage schematics, because if that happens and the
34:17
Speaker 2: safety doesn't see him or the you know, week side
34:19
Speaker 2: linebacker doesn't see him, he's gone for seventy And you're like, oh, yeah,
34:26
Speaker 2: forgot about that part. So I mean, I think that's
34:28
Speaker 2: why where you get the multiple DC's experience in there,
34:33
Speaker 2: that's why it's important, is because they're able to think
34:36
Speaker 2: play chess not checkers.
34:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one thing I like about that. They
34:41
Speaker 1: you just get different opinions on what makes sense with
34:44
Speaker 1: certain plates that I love it. I love that. Then
34:48
Speaker 1: you add on top of that with Jason Witten. I
34:53
Speaker 1: give Jason Witten, I give him a bee. I give
34:55
Speaker 1: him a B right now, because again, the biggest thing
34:57
Speaker 1: with him is the great name, very much left field higher,
35:00
Speaker 1: home run higher. We just don't know what he can
35:03
Speaker 1: do as a tight end coach. Yet I don't think
35:05
Speaker 1: he doubts us. I think that he turns into a
35:07
Speaker 1: a easily. We just gotta we'll see what the recruiting
35:11
Speaker 1: looks like very soon. I mean, twenty seven class is
35:14
Speaker 1: gonna have to get a tight end at some point,
35:16
Speaker 1: so you'll have that. I mean heck, I say that,
35:18
Speaker 1: and it's like I said, no shade to win and
35:20
Speaker 1: at all either is Remember hell, Brin Vivnables has some
35:23
Speaker 1: challenges in getting linebackers. He's one of the best linebacker
35:25
Speaker 1: coaches in the country right Like, this past class is
35:28
Speaker 1: the biggest class of linebackers we've had in a while.
35:30
Speaker 1: We ain't really be getting linebackers. Besides, when you had
35:33
Speaker 1: kipn Kobe back in the day, it's been a little
35:36
Speaker 1: bit of little mixed bag. So we'll just see what
35:40
Speaker 1: he gets. But I'm definitely, like I said, I love
35:43
Speaker 1: all three hires. Print Venables knocked it out the park
35:47
Speaker 1: with what you got, coaches that that you needed for
35:51
Speaker 1: what you wanted to achieve, and to me, that's something
35:54
Speaker 1: that's commendable. So all right, you know I was gonna
35:58
Speaker 1: talk schedule, Let's talk recruiting because I think the one
36:02
Speaker 1: recruit that I know we all won't appears to be
36:06
Speaker 1: having some conversations making his return to Oklahoma. So we're
36:09
Speaker 1: gonna jump on that right now. Thank y'all for pulling up.

36:19

36:32
Speaker 1: pop your questions in the chat. We'll get to them
36:35
Speaker 1: in a little bit. But I want to talk recruiting
36:36
Speaker 1: real quick, coop, because this guy one recruit that we
36:40
Speaker 1: all want our hands on. Mister Zane wrote, he's expected
36:44
Speaker 1: to do his commitment on March third teenth. Right now,
36:48
Speaker 1: it is between us in c Oregon and Washington. It's
36:51
Speaker 1: just a very weird mixed bag of teams. I think
36:54
Speaker 1: the one team that had me a little nervous about
36:57
Speaker 1: him was gonna be Tech, and they're not in the mix.
37:00
Speaker 1: I think we had a good shot at this one
37:02
Speaker 1: to get him back. Remember he committed to Chaves in
37:05
Speaker 1: him years ago. A couple of years ago de committed
37:08
Speaker 1: because you know, the hot seat conversation started to come up.
37:11
Speaker 1: But now at the last season, Jake Crele decided to
37:15
Speaker 1: stay committed and run right with us. Seems like this
37:18
Speaker 1: kid likes what he sees what you.
37:20
Speaker 2: Think Listen like Zane when he first committed, looks like
37:27
Speaker 2: he could fight for top five player in that class.
37:35
Speaker 2: You've got proof of concept, You've got Taylor Wine, You've
37:39
Speaker 2: got the development of our Mason Thomas. You've watched pa
37:43
Speaker 2: PG atabaware like develop. Also, you saw Marvin Jones Junior
37:48
Speaker 2: come in as you know, a guy who's probably going
37:52
Speaker 2: to the you know, Canadian Football League or something like
37:55
Speaker 2: that or you know, hoping to get a camp invite
37:57
Speaker 2: it best. And now he's you know, in the draft.
37:59
Speaker 3: You know with this.
38:02
Speaker 2: So Zayan has never left. He's been to owe you
38:05
Speaker 2: more times than any other place. If you said, betch paycheck,
38:12
Speaker 2: I would say, I bet it's oh You. March thirteenth
38:17
Speaker 2: is quite a long time away. Still, it's almost like
38:21
Speaker 2: dog It's almost like dog ears, you know, in recruiting
38:24
Speaker 2: for every week is like six weeks because a lot
38:29
Speaker 2: of silliness can happen by Tech going away. You either
38:34
Speaker 2: have a feeling that like maybe it's not the money
38:36
Speaker 2: grab and but Oregon is I think the second place
38:40
Speaker 2: candidate there. He's got some recent Washington follows on Instagram,
38:45
Speaker 2: so I feel like it's still going to be owe you.
38:49
Speaker 2: It's always oh You has been there the most consistent
38:51
Speaker 2: and it's been there the longest and so I'm hoping,
38:55
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm hoping that's that's what stays.
38:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, based on his visit schedule, it appears he'll be
39:00
Speaker 1: in Norman, I think March seventh, the March seventh, he'll
39:03
Speaker 1: be there for the Junior Day. And somebody mentioned this
39:06
Speaker 1: in the comments section. Yeah, Jimmy mentioned it as an
39:09
Speaker 1: keeps getting bigger every time I see him. Six three
39:11
Speaker 1: and a half two fifty six right now. Yeah, he's
39:14
Speaker 1: a big boy. And he's still a high four star
39:18
Speaker 1: number about one hundred and tenth in the country. Two
39:20
Speaker 1: four to seven has him top one hundred. So yeah,
39:22
Speaker 1: he's he's gotten bigger and he looks it. He looks it,
39:27
Speaker 1: he plays it too. That's the good part. He may
39:30
Speaker 1: end up being right borderline five star if he keeps
39:32
Speaker 1: up the development at his side. Sixty three six four
39:35
Speaker 1: ish two hundred and fifty five, two hundred and sixty pounds, Yeah,
39:40
Speaker 1: he might be one that we'll be glad to win back.
39:45
Speaker 1: And he's a hooper. Yeah, but yeah, he's he's got
39:53
Speaker 1: a lot of teams after him. I mean, I know
39:54
Speaker 1: Ohio State at one point was all over the recruitment.
39:58
Speaker 1: His offer list is of course absurd. Like when I
40:00
Speaker 1: look at the offer sheet, you name it. He got
40:03
Speaker 1: a Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, Nebraska, ol Miss Tennessee, Texas,
40:08
Speaker 1: A and M Tech. So all the Texas is TCU, Texas,
40:14
Speaker 1: Texas is of course Oregon, U, C, L A, s C.
40:18
Speaker 1: He's got Notre Dame. Yeah, everybody wants this kid. Everybody
40:25
Speaker 1: has interest in Zane Row And I think, but I
40:28
Speaker 1: do think Oklahoma ends up winning this one. This was
40:30
Speaker 1: a big one. It's probably one of the one of
40:32
Speaker 1: the one of the recruitments that I feel like Oklahoma
40:35
Speaker 1: really needs to lock in.
40:39
Speaker 2: I think it's just from the I think it's just
40:44
Speaker 2: from the beginning. You know, again, he's already been committed here.
40:47
Speaker 2: It's been a long term relationship. Oh you's throwing out
40:51
Speaker 2: there a consistently improving defense. And if you committed to
40:58
Speaker 2: him two years ago, why would you not come today?
41:01
Speaker 2: You know, That's my only question on this. And so
41:04
Speaker 2: but again when I look at these teams, like, you know,
41:06
Speaker 2: it's no shade to Washington, but I mean, like Washington
41:10
Speaker 2: in North Carolina don't belong on there with ou and
41:12
Speaker 2: ou it's just it's just that, I mean, like, who
41:18
Speaker 2: the hell is Like, Hey, I really really have a
41:20
Speaker 2: future football planed ahead of me, and I want to
41:23
Speaker 2: go saddle up with Bill Belichick.
41:24
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like watching Belichick.
41:33
Speaker 2: It's like watching the fawns in the water boy. Like, no,
41:37
Speaker 2: he's not a cool like greaser from Happy Days anymore.
41:42
Speaker 2: Now he's pissing himself and hiding underneath the bench afraid
41:46
Speaker 2: of the other coach. Like I'm sorry, Bill Belichick, that
41:50
Speaker 2: star is a very, very dead star. So yeah, he
41:57
Speaker 2: continues to get bigger.
41:59
Speaker 1: He does. He's a big boy. I'm I'm a fan
42:02
Speaker 1: of the Zane Row you know, relationship, and I'm hoping
42:09
Speaker 1: that we can get something closed on that. Parker Thune
42:11
Speaker 1: actually posted something not too long ago on who is
42:17
Speaker 1: this Keldrick Benn one of the backs that the twenty
42:20
Speaker 1: seven commits that we got that, uh he's good. Oklahoma
42:25
Speaker 1: is his home and I'm just like, oh, okay, I
42:27
Speaker 1: like hearing that. So I don't know if we'll truth
42:31
Speaker 1: be told, Like as the question was asked before, I
42:34
Speaker 1: don't see us having any type of uh de commits
42:37
Speaker 1: from the coaching changes, right these players. I feel like,
42:40
Speaker 1: especially for twenty seven class, they're appear to be locked
42:43
Speaker 1: in and mccula's picking up the phone. He's making those calls.
42:46
Speaker 1: He's making those calls, he's following up, he's seeing what
42:48
Speaker 1: everybody's thinking. He's asking questions, talking to the players and everything,
42:52
Speaker 1: which is good. So uh, Steven asked his question, after
42:54
Speaker 1: what happened with Chamberliss, we'll, oh, we get another year.
42:57
Speaker 1: Absolutely not, he will not get another year, telling you, man,
43:04
Speaker 1: I don't trust the NCAA in regards to that. And
43:06
Speaker 1: and honestly, you can tell he's not really fighting that hard.
43:09
Speaker 1: I think he got a big, good enough grade that
43:12
Speaker 1: he's gucci with what the decision is. Like, there's no
43:15
Speaker 1: reason for him to really come back. He's gonna head
43:18
Speaker 1: to the NFL. Honestly, Trinidad Chamblions should have went an NFL.
43:21
Speaker 1: He would be a he'd be a top wrist versus Yeah,
43:25
Speaker 1: he'd be a top ten pick easily right now. Like
43:27
Speaker 1: why I don't get why he wants to come back
43:29
Speaker 1: to college the NFL. I mean, I wonder if he's
43:33
Speaker 1: just scared, like the bread's at the NFL level and
43:37
Speaker 1: like you're actually like my boy, they think that you're
43:41
Speaker 1: a you could have been a high pick. He's missing
43:42
Speaker 1: out on a lot. He missing out a lot of money.
43:44
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way.
43:46
Speaker 2: I will let me go back to the running backs
43:49
Speaker 2: guys like Michael Rose culture Ben if they decommit, it's
43:54
Speaker 2: because they were already going down that path one way
43:58
Speaker 2: or the other. I think that Rhodes is a little
44:01
Speaker 2: bit more of a pro DeMarco guy, and so I
44:05
Speaker 2: think that would be the bigger situation. But I think
44:09
Speaker 2: that even before DeMarco left, I think Keldric benn Is,
44:13
Speaker 2: he's going to get a lot of looks from other people.
44:16
Speaker 2: And you go from the ugly duckling to the to
44:20
Speaker 2: the you know, to the five star you know to
44:23
Speaker 2: the beautiful running back. Yeah, and you're hearing all this
44:26
Speaker 2: all the time, and it's hey man, and it's just
44:29
Speaker 2: a fear missing out. So I'll say that part. Man.
44:34
Speaker 2: I would love to say that Owen Heineke is coming back.
44:38
Speaker 2: If you if if there's any part of your life
44:41
Speaker 2: that you're pausing to get the good news from that,
44:44
Speaker 2: let that go.
44:45
Speaker 1: Yeah.
44:46
Speaker 2: I think that that ship's been sailed for about a
44:49
Speaker 2: month and a half now, so I think that if
44:52
Speaker 2: they came back tomorrow and they said, ohen, you got
44:54
Speaker 2: your year, I still think he would leave.
44:57
Speaker 1: Yeah too, I do too. I don't think he's going
44:59
Speaker 1: to come back regardless. I think he I think that,
45:02
Speaker 1: like I said, I think he's gotten a good enough grade.
45:04
Speaker 1: He bawled out so well last season that the attention
45:08
Speaker 1: jumped on him like crazy. So there's no reason for
45:10
Speaker 1: him to stick around when the opportunity is there for
45:13
Speaker 1: him to legitimately go pro. Why why do that to yourself?
45:16
Speaker 2: Now? I think the Chamberless. Shambless is tiny. Chambless is
45:22
Speaker 2: really small, and I think that there is a situation
45:27
Speaker 2: with him potentially that you come back this year, you
45:30
Speaker 2: get some sillion eyel deal, I mean just absolute silly
45:35
Speaker 2: three million in change or whatever. You continue to do
45:38
Speaker 2: what you did this year, You're going in the same
45:40
Speaker 2: spot potentially next year and you just made a little
45:45
Speaker 2: bit more money. But I also think that Trinidad Chamberlass
45:49
Speaker 2: is probably never going to be a top tier NFL quarterback.
45:52
Speaker 2: I don't think that he is strong enough, big enough.
45:55
Speaker 2: I think that, like he's looking at that the Bryce
45:58
Speaker 2: Young type of ceiling is far as like what kind
46:00
Speaker 2: of an athlete he is now. Bryce Young had a
46:03
Speaker 2: better year this year, but we're still not taking Bryce
46:07
Speaker 2: Young over half the other NFL quarterbacks.
46:10
Speaker 1: Like to me, that don't matter. If you get the job,
46:15
Speaker 1: you get the job.
46:16
Speaker 2: But I'm saying one more year in college and maybe
46:20
Speaker 2: six years in the NFL or just six years in
46:22
Speaker 2: the NFL. I think that that's probably the shelf life.
46:25
Speaker 2: And maybe you're holding the clipboard. Maybe you're a Chase
46:28
Speaker 2: Daniels and you're holding the clipboard for the rest of
46:30
Speaker 2: your your career and you're making I mean, listen, I'll
46:32
Speaker 2: do it.
46:33
Speaker 1: I'll go hold the best job. Yeah, you're you're prepping
46:38
Speaker 1: yourself to be a coach if you want to.
46:40
Speaker 2: Hey, you suck. You can't ever start in the NFL.
46:43
Speaker 2: I mean, my pay stub makes me pretty happy, so
46:45
Speaker 2: I think I'll stay doing what I'm doing.
46:47
Speaker 1: My pay stubb says that I'm an NFL player and
46:49
Speaker 1: I'm on the roster and I'm playing when needed. I
46:52
Speaker 1: would totally take that. Like the drive to be one
46:56
Speaker 1: of the smartest players would probably be that they would
47:00
Speaker 1: chase the most. But the Trinidad Chamblis piece is just
47:02
Speaker 1: so fascinating yeah, he's six one two hundred. That is
47:07
Speaker 1: that would be pseudo tiny if he's if he is
47:10
Speaker 1: six to one to two hundred pounds and he needs
47:13
Speaker 1: to get the two twenty eight minimum to really survive.
47:16
Speaker 1: But yeah, I truly don't. That's one thing I don't get.
47:22
Speaker 1: Why don't you? I would have gone pro. Yeah, And
47:26
Speaker 1: that's the problem with Owen is that he doesn't have
47:28
Speaker 1: a true medical red shirt. Yeah, that he could lean on,
47:31
Speaker 1: uh if he was too. The one year he did
47:34
Speaker 1: red shirt was also a medical red shirt. If he
47:37
Speaker 1: was to take that away, he would need to red
47:39
Speaker 1: shirt the next time he got on the field. That's
47:42
Speaker 1: where the problem lies, right, he would end up having
47:44
Speaker 1: to have it. He can get a red shirt year,
47:46
Speaker 1: he's had to actually play four games in red shirt
47:49
Speaker 1: in front of that.
47:51
Speaker 2: And this is the conspiracy theorist in me coming out,
47:54
Speaker 2: all right, a little ten fold hot time, Owen Heineke
47:59
Speaker 2: isn't going and help your TV ratings. But trind at
48:01
Speaker 2: Chambliss can bring a lot of eyeballs to these to
48:04
Speaker 2: these games. Oh yeah, And I'm not saying that that's why,
48:09
Speaker 2: but I will say that it doesn't not play a
48:12
Speaker 2: factor because Ole miss Games. They get a few more
48:18
Speaker 2: views next year because of it, because we've seen Trinidad
48:21
Speaker 2: with the AT and T commercial. You know, he was
48:24
Speaker 2: part of that whole situation with with Lane Kiffen. I mean,
48:30
Speaker 2: let's just be honest. I mean, they're going to get eyeballs.
48:33
Speaker 2: And I think that a lot of people with positioning
48:36
Speaker 2: and power probably made comments and pointed out the things.
48:41
Speaker 1: So all right, it's a good question from Stevie. Question
48:46
Speaker 1: from the cord. How does Dlan handle a running back rotation?
48:51
Speaker 1: One of the main issues DeMarco had was rotations. It
48:55
Speaker 1: was Yeah, DeMarco for the most part had issues rotation.
48:58
Speaker 1: The other thing DeMarco's running backs weren't healthy. You find
49:00
Speaker 1: that out later, right, It wasn't one of those you
49:02
Speaker 1: found out immediately. You found out when we having to
49:04
Speaker 1: start doing the availability reports. Then you started finding out,
49:08
Speaker 1: Oh he's actually hurt, Like when did he get hurt?
49:10
Speaker 1: We didn't know about it, right, So but I digress.
49:13
Speaker 1: Dealan he has his one to two backs and then
49:17
Speaker 1: he has a potential third down back in, but he
49:19
Speaker 1: runs his dude to the ground like you saw that
49:22
Speaker 1: with Jeremiah Love. And but Love also stayed very much
49:25
Speaker 1: healthy most of his career and if he keeps that up,
49:28
Speaker 1: he's good. He saw that also at ashing genty there
49:30
Speaker 1: at with the Raiders when he was there. But for
49:33
Speaker 1: the most part, I mean, heck he had it was it.
49:34
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman was the running back at Indiana. He ran
49:37
Speaker 1: for two thousand yards. That was with him and Kevin
49:40
Speaker 1: Wilson as the head coach, and I think Kevin Wilson
49:43
Speaker 1: was also the slash offensive coordinator that year. But twenty fourteen,
49:47
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman, who was the running back for the San
49:49
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers as well in the NFL two
49:52
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy carries for two thousand yards fifteen touchdowns.
49:57
Speaker 1: He was a beast. Now, granted they had no quarterback
50:00
Speaker 1: play like as much as of a wizard as Kevin
50:05
Speaker 1: Wilson is, that was some wizardry he could not do
50:09
Speaker 1: at that time. Now he improved Indiana, he just could
50:12
Speaker 1: not get them fully over the hump over the He
50:14
Speaker 1: got two bowl games in a row and just could
50:17
Speaker 1: not get them past the six games. He wasn't in
50:20
Speaker 1: the He wasn't like her Signetty in the in the
50:25
Speaker 1: in the portal era and be able to bring an
50:26
Speaker 1: entire team of players with them. He went there fresh
50:29
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma, starting from scratch. But yeah, yeah, he's gonna
50:34
Speaker 1: run your backs into the ground like you need to. So,
50:38
Speaker 1: like I I agree with with a lot of you
50:41
Speaker 1: on the Tywee Walker piece, that was one player that
50:43
Speaker 1: I wish he would have just ran into the ground.
50:46
Speaker 1: You should have done that. Then unfortunately you saw tywe
50:49
Speaker 1: bounce from place to place. It doesn't matter. At this point.
50:53
Speaker 1: We got McCullough and I think that he'll probably play.
50:56
Speaker 1: You'll probably see all four of our main backs play.
50:59
Speaker 1: I don't know about Andy Bass yet, haven't I know
51:02
Speaker 1: that he's been practicing since November. I don't know about
51:06
Speaker 1: his health status or what that looks like. But you
51:08
Speaker 1: may see him mix in a little bit. But I
51:10
Speaker 1: do expect a lot of x Rob, a lot of Tory,
51:12
Speaker 1: a lot of Hatt and a lot of Zephyrn Walker.
51:15
Speaker 1: We'll see who emerges as the number one back though.
51:18
Speaker 3: Here you go Nate Sudfield, that was the quarterback for
51:25
Speaker 3: Yeah Nate, you remember to Nate Sudfield, So.
51:29
Speaker 2: As I was just looking back in the statistics, I remember,
51:35
Speaker 2: I mean, he was a it doesn't have his size
51:39
Speaker 2: or anything like that. But threw for eleven six and
51:44
Speaker 2: forty yards. Okay, I knew he was big, but eleven
51:49
Speaker 2: hundred yards passing six touchdowns, three interceptions.
51:53
Speaker 1: That was the two thousand rusher team season yep.
51:57
Speaker 2: Twenty fourteen season.
51:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's add to that. This is when Kevin Wilson
52:03
Speaker 1: started cooking. His senior year, Studfield threw for thirty five
52:07
Speaker 1: hundred yards twenty seven touchdowns. He also had not one,
52:10
Speaker 1: but two running backs run four thousand yards, Devon Redding
52:16
Speaker 1: as well as Jordan Howard. Remember Jordan Howard he played
52:19
Speaker 1: at UH. He played for the Eagles, didn't he yep?
52:22
Speaker 1: And he was a feedback too.
52:24
Speaker 2: Sutfield was Nick foles backup, I believe.
52:27
Speaker 1: Yep, yep. And Jordan Howard also played The Bears picked
52:34
Speaker 1: him up and I think he spent time also with
52:38
Speaker 1: the UH with the Eagles, it feels like I felt
52:41
Speaker 1: like he was an Eagle at some point.
52:44
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean going back to the running backs. Yeah,
52:51
Speaker 2: Kevin Wilson is an old school guy. I think that
52:55
Speaker 2: Dylan Collen knows that if you got a horse, if
53:00
Speaker 2: you feed the horse. Yeah, offensive line and health nothing
53:08
Speaker 2: matters outside of those two first factors, offensive line and health,
53:13
Speaker 2: because if the offensive line is do doo again, I mean,
53:21
Speaker 2: let's just say this, Shay, Let's say what do I
53:23
Speaker 2: think that Dylan McColo would have done this year differently
53:28
Speaker 2: than DeMarco. Nothing, There was nothing different to do, like
53:32
Speaker 2: you had too much injuries. But I think that you
53:36
Speaker 2: have big opportunity this year. And I think that in
53:40
Speaker 2: our private quarter, like people were asking me, like, what
53:42
Speaker 2: is the good over under on rushing yards for Jonathan
53:45
Speaker 2: Hatten this year? I said nine to fifty over under.
53:50
Speaker 2: I think that's a good safe number because I do
53:53
Speaker 2: think that you're going to get SIXI ish games at
53:57
Speaker 2: least out of both x Rob and Toy Blaylock. But
54:01
Speaker 2: I think that you've got to Seth and Walker who's
54:03
Speaker 2: testing out of this world. Also, you still have a
54:07
Speaker 2: Vant that came in. So I think that you've got
54:10
Speaker 2: five guys that you feel pretty good about from the
54:13
Speaker 2: running back rotation as of today, because I'm pretty sure
54:17
Speaker 2: last year, as we were sitting here, we were all
54:19
Speaker 2: pretty excited about X Rob, Javonte, Barnes, Jade not Oh
54:26
Speaker 2: Sweet Jesus, and nobody was talking about Tory, Blaylock, and
54:30
Speaker 2: so like things change really really quickly, so hopefully get
54:34
Speaker 2: the two young pups, like pretty healthy. Hatton is a
54:37
Speaker 2: different physical anomaly than than any of those other guys.
54:40
Speaker 2: And then Evant's already had some time you know, out there,
54:42
Speaker 2: so it'll be it'll be, it'll be a good idea,
54:49
Speaker 2: like what's going to happen? How's that rotation gonna look?
54:52
Speaker 2: I think a lot of it has to do with it.
54:53
Speaker 2: Who's healthy fall for September fifth kickoff? I think so?
55:01
Speaker 2: For me?
55:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, the question came with asking, Yeah, you know in
55:05
Speaker 1: the cord about Jonathan Hatton and what would be the
55:09
Speaker 1: number for him? Five hundred is the number I'm setting
55:12
Speaker 1: it at. They're nine to fifty is way too high
55:14
Speaker 1: for over under because I'd picked the under ten times
55:17
Speaker 1: out of ten times. The question is how much will
55:20
Speaker 1: Hatton get a chance to play? It depends on the
55:22
Speaker 1: health of Tory and and ex Rob and just how
55:25
Speaker 1: the flow of the offense goes. So yeah, i'd say
55:28
Speaker 1: five hundred is the number I'm gonna set it at
55:31
Speaker 1: for me over under because I think he can go
55:33
Speaker 1: over five. It's just like I said, it depends on
55:35
Speaker 1: how much he plays, But I am very big on
55:38
Speaker 1: I think McCullough. Like, like you said, I think it's great.
55:41
Speaker 1: How you said that is that this season, I don't
55:43
Speaker 1: think it'd been any different. The health just was not there.
55:45
Speaker 1: There's not much you can do about it when you're
55:49
Speaker 1: not healthy. So all right, let's last thing, last topic.
55:55
Speaker 1: The hardest schedules in college football. Crane and Cone over
55:59
Speaker 1: on three Drive. They're listing I've been looking at these
56:02
Speaker 1: schedules for a bit. I want to talk about where
56:04
Speaker 1: Oklahoma sits and kind of how this is gonna actually
56:07
Speaker 1: be when I really dig into it, a lot more
56:10
Speaker 1: challenging than I even anticipated myself. Thank y'all for pulling
56:13
Speaker 1: up God ahead hit that like. But if you need
56:15
Speaker 1: to the channel subscribe rate review, give us five stars,
56:17
Speaker 1: shout out to our partners over there at Sleeper and
56:20
Speaker 1: use the promo code Unfair. They'll match that first deposit
56:23
Speaker 1: one hundred percent up to one hundred dollars. Terms ofiss
56:25
Speaker 1: apply Sea Sleeper terms of use for details coop. This
56:30
Speaker 1: is what the hardest schedule combo looks like from Crane
56:33
Speaker 1: and Cone. I thought this was interesting because when I
56:35
Speaker 1: looked at it myself I was kind of curious of
56:40
Speaker 1: what this could be. So they've got Ohio State, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Auburn, Michigan,
56:47
Speaker 1: Old Miss Florida, and LSU Tennessee. L SU. I'm sorry, Kentucky.
56:55
Speaker 1: I looked at our schedule. Gotta say, first five is
56:59
Speaker 1: gonna be art. I definitely think we have a top
57:04
Speaker 1: five tough schedule this coming season, with the way that
57:07
Speaker 1: Arkansas is definitely gonna be bad at Oh God, when
57:09
Speaker 1: lookedt Arkansas wolf now woof wolf not good. But ours
57:16
Speaker 1: ours is gonna be tough, man, because I think the
57:19
Speaker 1: thing that jumps out the most about our schedule is
57:21
Speaker 1: this me and John's talking about this overall locked on.
57:25
Speaker 1: It's the first three games, sorry, first five game of
57:32
Speaker 1: the seasons. You get two home, you get two home
57:34
Speaker 1: games and they're your cupcakes. And you play on the
57:37
Speaker 1: road and your three biggest games, two of them on
57:42
Speaker 1: the road, one of them in neutral sight. Buddy, that's tough.
57:48
Speaker 1: Then you come back home and the only thing that's
57:51
Speaker 1: really your saving grace is you have zero back to
57:53
Speaker 1: back road games. That helps. But man, going to Athens first,
57:59
Speaker 1: you go to First, you go to Anna, you come
58:00
Speaker 1: back to the Crib and you play New Mexico, who
58:03
Speaker 1: hain't no slouch? Jason Eck has been kicking tail over there.
58:07
Speaker 1: You go to Athens, you get a bye luckily, then
58:10
Speaker 1: you dry to Dallas. Then you come back to the
58:13
Speaker 1: crib play Kentucky, who's a whole new staff. That one's
58:16
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. That start will tell us everything about
58:19
Speaker 1: the season.
58:24
Speaker 2: Jay. I was watching a clip the other day about
58:27
Speaker 2: that steakhouse where you can go by by and try
58:30
Speaker 2: it to take a stab at eating the seventy two
58:32
Speaker 2: ounce steak.
58:33
Speaker 1: O you steak man it to myself and somebody said.
58:37
Speaker 2: You know, I always always think about it as like
58:39
Speaker 2: could I do that? And it depends on just the situation,
58:45
Speaker 2: like the day after Thanksgiving, Nah, you need to no
58:48
Speaker 2: seventy two ounces steak, but like you know, just give
58:51
Speaker 2: me like in the middle of July or something like that.
58:53
Speaker 2: I be like, he's a seventywo ounce steak.
58:55
Speaker 1: So fair.
58:57
Speaker 2: I think that when you look at by name and everything,
59:01
Speaker 2: with the schedule, the things it's it is going to
59:03
Speaker 2: be tough. But we just went through this conversation last year.
59:09
Speaker 2: Just did I mean, we ate the same situation last
59:11
Speaker 2: year and The reason why we were in the playoffs
59:13
Speaker 2: is because what we did against the schedule that we
59:16
Speaker 2: had in front of us. So I agree with you
59:19
Speaker 2: that you go up to Michigan again. You got a
59:21
Speaker 2: new coaching staff. You know what does the development of
59:26
Speaker 2: price under would look like? Like there's a lot there.
59:30
Speaker 2: You know, they they're they're going to have a lot
59:32
Speaker 2: of difference they had. They lost some players, they lost
59:35
Speaker 2: some draft picks, so there's it's going to be a
59:37
Speaker 2: little different. Georgia is tough, Jay, I mean, it's just tough.
59:44
Speaker 2: It's not going to be easy. It's going to be tough.
59:48
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a hard game in Anthons, man.
59:50
Speaker 2: I mean, I will say this. I think we run
59:53
Speaker 2: into Georgia. We're up three, We're three and oh by
59:56
Speaker 2: the time we reached Georgia. I would give Georgia the
1:00:00
Speaker 2: favor as of today. Yeah, but it's not going to
1:00:05
Speaker 2: be easy for them.
1:00:08
Speaker 1: It's crazy, just like us.
1:00:10
Speaker 2: It's crazy Georgia at home. They don't have the big
1:00:14
Speaker 2: winning streak anymore. This is a new team coming in.
1:00:17
Speaker 2: There is absolute Yes, I did. I did. It depends
1:00:21
Speaker 2: on when when do you have to eat the meat,
1:00:24
Speaker 2: because today that day it's different, Lemon. I'll talk to
1:00:30
Speaker 2: you about that later. But I think that you go
1:00:34
Speaker 2: to Georgia, there's there's there's no familiarity there, so there
1:00:38
Speaker 2: is going to be some jabs early on in that game.
1:00:42
Speaker 2: And it depends there's just Kirby Spartan that that team
1:00:46
Speaker 2: come out and try to give. Yeah, yeah, so how
1:00:51
Speaker 2: many reckless driving? I mean they get reckless driving every
1:00:53
Speaker 2: two to three days and it hasn't changed anything.
1:00:55
Speaker 1: But you wants to know how about any of you
1:00:57
Speaker 1: would have to give in order to five and a
1:01:00
Speaker 1: half change it?
1:01:02
Speaker 2: So they have more and Georgia said that, I mean
1:01:06
Speaker 2: they might hit that by June. So but but Texas
1:01:11
Speaker 2: same situation. Texas is going to have a the main
1:01:14
Speaker 2: line starters is going to be really good. But Texas's
1:01:19
Speaker 2: depth is not a pretty picture to look at their
1:01:23
Speaker 2: offensive line holds up. They've got a chance to be
1:01:26
Speaker 2: a good offense. I think I think I've said it, Jay,
1:01:32
Speaker 2: I will not pick o you to win that game
1:01:34
Speaker 2: until they prove me wrong anymore.
1:01:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm on that same boat, but you have to
1:01:40
Speaker 1: prove me wrong.
1:01:42
Speaker 2: But I think that just like last year, how we
1:01:44
Speaker 2: picked these different situations out like, you got a completely
1:01:47
Speaker 2: different defensive staff at Texas, you get a completely different
1:01:50
Speaker 2: coaching staff at Michigan. Kentucky there's a you know, massive
1:01:54
Speaker 2: flip cow Bell Lands. They still have yet to win
1:01:57
Speaker 2: a conference game. Uh, South Carolina a completely new staff
1:02:01
Speaker 2: going on, new staff at Florida, Old miss you know,
1:02:05
Speaker 2: a decent mostly new staff, A and m pretty secure Missouri,
1:02:09
Speaker 2: same situation. I think that just the way that the
1:02:12
Speaker 2: schedule balance is out. This team's done really really good
1:02:15
Speaker 2: at going on the road. They almost seem like to
1:02:17
Speaker 2: come together a little bit better when they go on
1:02:18
Speaker 2: the road outside of playing in Dallas. So is oh
1:02:23
Speaker 2: you schedule hard? Hell? Yeah, it was hard last year.
1:02:27
Speaker 2: I'm still picking ten and two as of right now.
1:02:30
Speaker 1: Yeah. I also hold that that gauntlet was impossible to
1:02:33
Speaker 1: get through. That we'd be lucky to win six five
1:02:39
Speaker 1: and a half eight games, yeah, like like Vegas had
1:02:43
Speaker 1: a seven and a half and of course we blew
1:02:44
Speaker 1: past that. So yeah, yeah, it's it's we'll be lucky. Yeah.
1:02:50
Speaker 1: And the good thing for us is and is this
1:02:52
Speaker 1: the point for Travis here, The key to beating him
1:02:53
Speaker 1: is the stop in the run game. And it's really
1:02:55
Speaker 1: what we were good at And I think our had
1:02:57
Speaker 1: run defense is gonna be probably a little bit better
1:02:59
Speaker 1: this year. The corners are now knowing what spots to
1:03:02
Speaker 1: be in the safeties are ready to come down. He'll
1:03:04
Speaker 1: linebacker room. It's gonna be a bit much.
1:03:08
Speaker 2: Can Peyton Bowen be the second half the season Peyton Bowen.
1:03:14
Speaker 1: Like that?
1:03:15
Speaker 2: That's a big difference because late season Peyton Bowen was dirty.
1:03:20
Speaker 1: He really was.
1:03:22
Speaker 2: Early season Peyton Bowen was just the rest of his
1:03:24
Speaker 2: career at Oh you Peyton Bowen. So yeah. Also, I mean,
1:03:31
Speaker 2: I just think the team you go up to Michigan,
1:03:32
Speaker 2: you got the whole new staff. You're still putting out
1:03:35
Speaker 2: a quarterback that really needs favorable situations to be successful.
1:03:41
Speaker 2: They played super scared in Norman. But I think you
1:03:45
Speaker 2: got a little ace in the hole with Cole Sullivan.
1:03:47
Speaker 2: He got to play against Bryce Underwood the entire season,
1:03:50
Speaker 2: got to see him the entire season. He knows some
1:03:53
Speaker 2: of his tendencies and he can share that with this team.
1:03:55
Speaker 2: And so yeah, I mean I agree with you Jay
1:03:59
Speaker 2: that the you get through the first five games and
1:04:02
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a pretty good idea about what the
1:04:04
Speaker 2: team is. I just I you know, I going into
1:04:08
Speaker 2: last year, I thought we were going to be ten
1:04:10
Speaker 2: and two, and I said, two of one of these
1:04:12
Speaker 2: five teams are gonna beat us, And I really don't
1:04:14
Speaker 2: know who. I think. I kind of feel the same
1:04:17
Speaker 2: thing as I would pick that, you know, we would
1:04:20
Speaker 2: lose one to Georgia or Texas, and then I think
1:04:23
Speaker 2: you lose one more at some point else, just because
1:04:26
Speaker 2: it's hard to have it all each week and then
1:04:32
Speaker 2: not catch a team that. I mean, you saw Mississippi State.
1:04:35
Speaker 2: I think if Jeff Levy didn't go full turtle like
1:04:37
Speaker 2: they beat Texas last year, Uh, South Carolina. They had
1:04:41
Speaker 2: massive leads against Alabama and Georgia and Oldness I believe,
1:04:45
Speaker 2: and then pissed in A and M and they pissed
1:04:47
Speaker 2: all away. So it's like every single one of these
1:04:49
Speaker 2: teams has the ability to beat you. It's just can
1:04:51
Speaker 2: they reach that that you know, placement and stay there
1:04:56
Speaker 2: the entire game.
1:04:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, and thank goodness, you know we would be prepared
1:05:05
Speaker 1: to guess another ten win season. I hope everybody's okay.
1:05:08
Speaker 2: With that eighty two boomer. Same situation. Morgan was there
1:05:13
Speaker 2: last year in Michigan. He can also tell you, hey,
1:05:20
Speaker 2: we got when we got him in practice. This is
1:05:24
Speaker 2: what we did.
1:05:24
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no to that because I remember you
1:05:27
Speaker 1: get Kyle Witningham, who's basically revamped that entire staff.
1:05:30
Speaker 2: But a person has tendencies.
1:05:33
Speaker 1: Well Winningham wasn't there.
1:05:35
Speaker 2: No Bryce Underwood, Bryce, we don't.
1:05:38
Speaker 1: We don't meet him. For Bryce Underwood. We cooked him
1:05:40
Speaker 1: an He's only a sophomore. Price Underwood was a.
1:05:45
Speaker 2: Brice Underwood and Cole Sullivan give you a little umph
1:05:49
Speaker 2: over it.
1:05:50
Speaker 1: So yeah, if if if Bryce Underwood was a junior,
1:05:53
Speaker 1: I would agree with you and say that I'd be nervous.
1:05:56
Speaker 1: Bryce Underwood's a sophomore and preventables abuses young quarter. We
1:06:01
Speaker 1: all know that that is just the beauty of what
1:06:05
Speaker 1: he likes to do. So all right, we're gonna get
1:06:07
Speaker 1: all upout it here. Another fun Wednesday night with you all.
1:06:10
Speaker 1: We got a new running back coach. We got the
1:06:14
Speaker 1: three hires that are pretty ridiculous and really good. So
1:06:17
Speaker 1: we're all talked about that. Thank you all for pulling up,
1:06:20
Speaker 1: got all the questions answered. Hit the light button. If
1:06:22
