- 4:08Speaker 2: Baseball up till when, probably about my freshman year of
- 4:13Speaker 2: high school, I was doing the optional type of you know,
- 4:18Speaker 2: go in there kind of off season. I don't even
- 4:20Speaker 2: know if the off seasons for baseball anymore, but it's
- 4:21Speaker 2: like the off season type of sports now, but it
- 4:26Speaker 2: was the off season type of optional thing. I was
- 4:28Speaker 2: there and I just came off of Okay, So this
- 4:30Speaker 2: was after my freshman season of high school football, so
- 4:35Speaker 2: this was probably like areas of like December to March
- 4:38Speaker 2: that type of thing. So I was in there and
- 4:40Speaker 2: it was just like I was like, I had this
- 4:42Speaker 2: feeling and I've until my dad on the way back,
- 4:44Speaker 2: I was just like, I don't know if I want
- 4:46Speaker 2: to do something, Like I was like, I feel like
- 4:47Speaker 2: I want to kind of just stick with football, and
- 4:50Speaker 2: he was like, you know, it's totally up to you,
- 4:51Speaker 2: like your decision, Like We're gonna whatever you want to do.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Like if you think you can go farther in football,
- 4:57Speaker 2: I think so. And this was after I played a
- 4:59Speaker 2: little in my freshman year in high school, right because
- 5:02Speaker 2: our quarterback got hurt. So I got in and played
- 5:06Speaker 2: a little bit and then and then kind of did well,
- 5:10Speaker 2: and then I kind of realized like the off season
- 5:12Speaker 2: I was like training for football, and then it was baseball.
- 5:14Speaker 2: I'm throwing and throwing and it's like, oh yeah, your arm,
- 5:17Speaker 2: So it's it was a lot back and forth, and
- 5:19Speaker 2: that was one of the main reasons.
- 5:20Speaker 1: It was like the arm kind of you might need that.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's two different it's two different throws,
- 5:26Speaker 2: but yeah, it's we decided to stick with that.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Did you ever did you ever get a jug? Is
- 5:31Speaker 1: gonna on your fastball? What we were thrown? Do you
- 5:33Speaker 1: have any deal? Man?
- 5:34Speaker 2: I remember I did have a lot of arm pain.
- 5:37Speaker 2: But I remember freshman like tryouts or something. It was
- 5:42Speaker 2: like eighty five, eighty six or something.
- 5:44Speaker 5: Freshman freshman that was headed to ninety plus.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Yeah, that you're gonna be a plus ninety guy. Yeah,
- 5:50Speaker 1: that would work. That would work.
- 5:51Speaker 2: That's the thing I remember.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Tell me about Scottie Fox senior senior.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Oh, man, that's my that's my that's my guy.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Okay right there. Yeah. So obviously athletically, what was his background?
- 6:03Speaker 2: So he he was a baseball guy. So he was
- 6:06Speaker 2: That's why I felt.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Like, yeah, a little bit too.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Yeah. So he went to Matter High school, same where
- 6:13Speaker 2: I was from, grew up there, went to college. So
- 6:17Speaker 2: he went He's gonna go to Safana State in Georgia
- 6:19Speaker 2: for baseball, and I believe something happened with his arm
- 6:23Speaker 2: there blew it out, So it was so hard. It
- 6:26Speaker 2: was pretty hard there and then went to after that.
- 6:31Speaker 2: I forgot how long he was there for, but he
- 6:32Speaker 2: played there for a little bit and then after that
- 6:35Speaker 2: came back home, did finish up his community college, and
- 6:38Speaker 2: then now he's working progressive.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Yeah, so so interesting. So there had to be some
- 6:45Speaker 1: pressure on you going to the same high school as
- 6:48Speaker 1: your dad with the same name. It's not like you
- 6:51Speaker 1: were right. It wasn't like he was Bobby Fox. I
- 6:53Speaker 1: mean he was it's the it's the second coming of
- 6:55Speaker 1: Scottie Fox senior junior. Did you sense that at all?
- 6:58Speaker 2: Well, you know what's funny is that of that he
- 7:00Speaker 2: had Some of the teachers that I had, Yeah, they're like,
- 7:03Speaker 2: you know, we knew your dad. And it was like
- 7:05Speaker 2: the older teachers is like, yeah, like we had you.
- 7:07Speaker 5: Is that a good we knew your dad? Because the
- 7:08Speaker 5: can go two ways sometimes it helps you long, Yeah
- 7:10Speaker 5: we knew your dad. Is that in good connotation?
- 7:12Speaker 1: Or yeah?
- 7:13Speaker 2: I mean, well were both ways you know sometimes, but yeah,
- 7:17Speaker 2: it was it was pretty funny.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Did he football there or just baseball there?
- 7:21Speaker 2: He was more of a baseball guy there. Baseball, Yeah, well.
- 7:24Speaker 1: At least you didn't have that stress, like if he
- 7:25Speaker 1: was a quarterback and they're like not as good as
- 7:28Speaker 1: his dad, or he's better than his dad than.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Yeah, that little But he understands though, like the whole
- 7:32Speaker 2: you know, the mental aspect of the game, especially pictures,
- 7:35Speaker 2: very mentally demanding too. Oh there, he's telling me stories
- 7:38Speaker 2: about when he'd pitch and he's helped me a lot
- 7:41Speaker 2: through everything, Like I would be where I am without him,
- 7:43Speaker 2: Like he's seriously, he really got me to where I am,
- 7:47Speaker 2: you know, because he understands it too. With his arm
- 7:48Speaker 2: and then the arm care and all that, and without him,
- 7:51Speaker 2: like my arm probably would have been shot.
- 7:52Speaker 1: So see there's a new term right there that you
- 7:55Speaker 1: wouldn't care. Yeah, like oh yeah, like twenty years twenty
- 7:59Speaker 1: years ago, people people never quarterbacks wouldn't even bring it up.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Coaches wouldn't even bring it up. Like now you just
- 8:06Speaker 1: can't throw a thousand balls. Guess what, something's going to happen, right,
- 8:10Speaker 1: And so now at Lisia have some kind of a
- 8:12Speaker 1: concept as to how you keep that thing healthy.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Yeah, so I mean even Mike Joe in the weight room,
- 8:18Speaker 2: like we're constantly internal external bands everything a.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Band they love this one. They love this with the band.
- 8:25Speaker 1: You know that one with the band, They love that
- 8:26Speaker 1: one with.
- 8:27Speaker 5: The What was it about football that you knew, like
- 8:29Speaker 5: this is my path? What specifically drew you to that?
- 8:34Speaker 2: I would say again after probably after my freshman year,
- 8:36Speaker 2: I kind of played and had some success, and I
- 8:40Speaker 2: remember my coach, Coach Gray from Menor High School, saying
- 8:44Speaker 2: that some colleges were interested. And I was like, oh,
- 8:47Speaker 2: no way, Like I didn't even as a as a freshman. Yeah,
- 8:50Speaker 2: as I was fourteen years old, I was. I was
- 8:52Speaker 2: so nervous, like coaches coming in, Like I'm sitting in
- 8:55Speaker 2: class like, oh man, I'm freaking out because I'm hearing
- 8:58Speaker 2: college coaches coming.
- 8:59Speaker 1: I'm like, crap, yeah, I know, I'm with you.
- 9:01Speaker 2: I wasn't even expected, Like I didn't even know what
- 9:03Speaker 2: I wanted to I don't even know I want to
- 9:05Speaker 2: go to college. Now I'm getting at fourteen years old,
- 9:08Speaker 2: coaches want to come talk to him. Might be a
- 9:09Speaker 2: bit much, yeah, but yeah, it was.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Your wigh What when you were freshman? What'd you weigh?
- 9:14Speaker 2: Man? I was probably one fifty.
- 9:15Speaker 1: What do you weigh right now?
- 9:16Speaker 2: About like two function? He's two ten to fifteen yeah,
- 9:19Speaker 2: that's nice.
- 9:20Speaker 4: So how did you end up here?
- 9:22Speaker 1: How to end up here? A great story? Yeah, right,
- 9:24Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 9:24Speaker 2: So I was originally I was getting recruited pretty heavily
- 9:29Speaker 2: by Minnesota. This was like, uh, let's see sophomore year. Well,
- 9:35Speaker 2: actually sophomore year. This was my first powerful visit, Power
- 9:39Speaker 2: five visit at the time, right, and coach Reagan was there.
- 9:42Speaker 2: I think he's at Troy now or Texas. Yeah, so
- 9:46Speaker 2: I originally committed to him coach Neil Brown. That was
- 9:49Speaker 2: back in or that was.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Junior year.
- 9:52Speaker 2: But before then, this is my first visit, and Coach
- 9:55Speaker 2: Reagan was saying, like, you know, we would offer you
- 9:57Speaker 2: right now.
- 9:58Speaker 1: But I made a.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Promise to my self that the last time I offered
- 10:02Speaker 2: a quarterback, I didn't see him throw in person, and
- 10:05Speaker 2: he said he gripped the ball within his palm and
- 10:07Speaker 2: it wasn't coming out right. So he's like, if I
- 10:09Speaker 2: come watch you throw and you know, spin it, like,
- 10:13Speaker 2: we'll give you an offer. But so since then that
- 10:16Speaker 2: kind of gave me like kind of fire. So back
- 10:19Speaker 2: in in May of going into my junior year, I
- 10:22Speaker 2: believe it was coaches can come in and watch you throw,
- 10:25Speaker 2: and I just go after thing or after lifts, and
- 10:28Speaker 2: he came in, saw me throw. He's like, you got
- 10:32Speaker 2: an offer?
- 10:32Speaker 4: And I was.
- 10:33Speaker 2: And I don't know if that was my first. I
- 10:34Speaker 2: think Minnesota was because I visited there, but I knew
- 10:38Speaker 2: from coming here that, like I remember driving back, I'm like, dang,
- 10:41Speaker 2: like I wish I could offer here, like I love
- 10:42Speaker 2: it here, that type of thing, and yeah, I just knew,
- 10:46Speaker 2: just knew. Yeah, even my mom, Like my mom's another
- 10:48Speaker 2: big reason why I came here too, Like she was.
- 10:50Speaker 2: She was saying like, just you know, Mom's no best.
- 10:53Speaker 2: I'm kind of figuring that out now, but yeah.
- 10:56Speaker 1: It was. She was.
- 10:57Speaker 2: She kept telling me, like, you know, I think you
- 10:59Speaker 2: know this is gonna be the place for you. You
- 11:00Speaker 2: know this is you know, how you fit. So trusted her,
- 11:04Speaker 2: trusted my instincts and kind of came here and that's
- 11:06Speaker 2: where we are now.
- 11:07Speaker 1: It's difficult to play for a head coach that wears
- 11:09Speaker 1: a vest and a tie. You know what I'm saying.
- 11:12Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I mean, I.
- 11:13Speaker 4: May have to disrespect him.
- 11:15Speaker 1: I didn't. I mean, I'm just saying, and I mean respect,
- 11:19Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I was just thinking a great
- 11:21Speaker 1: tie in though, Lou Wendell, you can row your boat.
- 11:23Speaker 1: You can row row row. I mean, that was that
- 11:25Speaker 1: was the whole Did he did coach Fleck? Did he
- 11:28Speaker 1: come in at all and make touch contact or he's
- 11:30Speaker 1: just using assistance?
- 11:31Speaker 2: He was he was using assistance. But I went to
- 11:33Speaker 2: go visit him a couple of times, and it was
- 11:38Speaker 2: it was just I don't know.
- 11:39Speaker 1: It was what do you mean, just didn't feel right,
- 11:41Speaker 1: didn't feel it didn't feel right kind of a number.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Yeah, almost.
- 11:45Speaker 3: What what's it like when you look your high school
- 11:48Speaker 3: you're the man, you're the guy, and it what's it
- 11:50Speaker 3: like when you get here and you go into quarterback
- 11:52Speaker 3: roomors like twelve people? Yeah, I mean, what's that like?
- 11:55Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 11:55Speaker 2: I mean it's for sure kind of a different change.
- 11:58Speaker 2: But my mindset it all was just be the best
- 12:02Speaker 2: person and player I can be and kind of just
- 12:06Speaker 2: control what I can and just let things kind of
- 12:08Speaker 2: happen and just let let my work ethic kind of
- 12:13Speaker 2: take over kind of just you know, do what I've
- 12:17Speaker 2: always done and just kind of do everything to the best.
- 12:19Speaker 3: But but don't you don't you have a that's a
- 12:21Speaker 3: good headspace for you, but you don't look around and
- 12:23Speaker 3: say I think that guy's better than me or I'm
- 12:25Speaker 3: better than that guy?
- 12:26Speaker 1: Are you keeping score like you're.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Not really, I mean, because I feel like if I
- 12:31Speaker 2: do that, then it's like I'm kind of not worried
- 12:33Speaker 2: about myself getting better. I would say, I'm kind of.
- 12:39Speaker 4: You just taking care of your business.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Yes, yes, like I'm worried about I'm not worried about
- 12:43Speaker 2: the other guys in the room that are like they're
- 12:48Speaker 2: type what's the word, like, they're process, their pros, their process,
- 12:53Speaker 2: and I'm worried about my process and getting better as
- 12:57Speaker 2: a player in person and you know, being teammate and
- 13:01Speaker 2: that type of thing. So it's not like I feel
- 13:03Speaker 2: like if I look too much into that stuff, then
- 13:04Speaker 2: it's like worried about, you know, being the best player
- 13:07Speaker 2: in person.
- 13:08Speaker 4: So you take care of your business and that takes
- 13:10Speaker 4: care of him exactly.
- 13:11Speaker 2: I mean sty Like what I say is that me
- 13:13Speaker 2: and my high school coach always kind of he's the
- 13:14Speaker 2: one that originally, you know, got me to think like this,
- 13:19Speaker 2: it's stay where your feet are at, you know, because
- 13:21Speaker 2: you're not you know, if you're thinking too much in
- 13:23Speaker 2: the future in the past, and you're going to be
- 13:25Speaker 2: not in the present and just worried about other things.
- 13:28Speaker 1: So I like to stay where my feet are at
- 13:31Speaker 1: great approach. But there was so much going on within
- 13:36Speaker 1: this program after you said yes, right, Neil leaves Rich
- 13:43Speaker 1: comes in. You're an early enroll, Lee. I mean, there
- 13:47Speaker 1: were a bunch of reasons why you could have went like, uh,
- 13:51Speaker 1: time out, I'm going to reconsider this. But you did
- 13:54Speaker 1: not think back to those days. What was your thinking
- 13:59Speaker 1: to say no?
- 14:00Speaker 2: So, yeah, I'll never forget. So me and my dad,
- 14:03Speaker 2: grandpa and cousin. This is December, I believe it was.
- 14:06Speaker 2: We're hunting on a hunting.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Trip and you're hunting for what? Deer?
- 14:09Speaker 2: Yeah, deer, you're hunting. We go in southern Ohio. It's
- 14:11Speaker 2: pretty fun.
- 14:12Speaker 4: Tony is a big hunter.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Oh yeah, boor yeah, oh really I kill things that
- 14:17Speaker 1: want to attack.
- 14:19Speaker 2: It's pretty awesome. Not thank you, but yeah. So we're
- 14:24Speaker 2: sitting in the hotel room like hunting or you know.
- 14:27Speaker 2: It was that night time. So we're going to go
- 14:29Speaker 2: in the morning and I'm sitting in my bed and
- 14:31Speaker 2: my phone's across the room and it's just blowing up
- 14:34Speaker 2: out of nowhere like.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Ring ding ding.
- 14:37Speaker 2: I'm like what's going on? I'm like, is that my
- 14:40Speaker 2: phone saw you?
- 14:40Speaker 1: Look?
- 14:41Speaker 2: Neil Brown fired? Neil Brown gone like what do you?
- 14:43Speaker 2: Blah blah blah, and I was freaking out. I ran
- 14:46Speaker 2: to my dad's room. I'm like, Dad, what am I
- 14:48Speaker 2: going to do? Blah blah blah. And I was talking
- 14:51Speaker 2: with the coaches. They're like, yeah, I know we're gonna
- 14:53Speaker 2: end up. So I was kind of like, it's kind
- 14:54Speaker 2: of stuck. I was just like, okay, well, you know,
- 14:56Speaker 2: I guess I love the place here, love everything. But
- 14:59Speaker 2: it's like my coaches had.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Already signed at that point before you would sign, okay.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Yes, well signing day early and sign he was like
- 15:07Speaker 2: two or three days later. I remember, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 15:09Speaker 2: So it was like it was it was an it
- 15:12Speaker 2: was a nutcase. But after so then I got on
- 15:17Speaker 2: the phone with frend Baker. It was at a time
- 15:19Speaker 2: and he's like, you know, Skyt, you just you know
- 15:21Speaker 2: we're gonna get a guy. Trust us, you know, you know,
- 15:24Speaker 2: just stick with us all that stuff. So I'm like, okay,
- 15:27Speaker 2: you know I am. So then I didn't know who
- 15:29Speaker 2: the coach is going to be signing. No idea signed,
- 15:33Speaker 2: and then so I was coach rod and then yeah,
- 15:35Speaker 2: from there it was just h I thought I fit
- 15:38Speaker 2: pretty well.
- 15:40Speaker 1: You're young. Still, what did you know about rich Rodriguez
- 15:46Speaker 1: when he's named the coach?
- 15:48Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't know nothing. See hearing some stories
- 15:52Speaker 2: I heard, I.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Heard, But did you hear just that they.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Heard very very intense, very hard, you know, that type
- 16:01Speaker 2: of that type of thing. So it was, yeah, it was,
- 16:05Speaker 2: it was.
- 16:05Speaker 1: It was good.
- 16:06Speaker 2: And I thought, you know, coming in, you know, I
- 16:09Speaker 2: kind of saw that off the bat and I was like, oh,
- 16:11Speaker 2: this is this is college ball right here.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it's real yea. And to add and to add
- 16:17Speaker 1: on to that, you were in early Enroll league, so
- 16:21Speaker 1: you were a January arrival. And I always it still
- 16:24Speaker 1: blows my mind because that's become the norm nowadays. And
- 16:27Speaker 1: you guys are like ding donging around in the cafeteria
- 16:30Speaker 1: like in Height in December, and then like two weeks later,
- 16:34Speaker 1: a week later, we have Christmas, and then the next thing,
- 16:37Speaker 1: you know, like you're on a college campus in a
- 16:39Speaker 1: big boy weight room with like dudes that are like
- 16:41Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty three years old.
- 16:43Speaker 2: You got to be going like yeah, shock right, Yeah, definitely,
- 16:47Speaker 2: I mean It was a change for sure, but try
- 16:50Speaker 2: to adapt quick and just keep that mindset of just
- 16:52Speaker 2: like control what I can and just work my artists
- 16:54Speaker 2: and everything.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Yeah, you ever had a Tutor's Biscuit before?
- 16:57Speaker 2: I have not?
- 16:58Speaker 1: Oh my god, I've not.
- 17:00Speaker 2: I'll share.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Let me show you something. Tutor's Biscuit is a sponsor
- 17:03Speaker 1: three guys before the game, and right now they're encouraging
- 17:06Speaker 1: you to check out their super breakfast. So Scotty, let
- 17:09Speaker 1: me just ask you if you'd be good for this.
- 17:10Speaker 1: This is what this has. It's the classic morning spread,
- 17:13Speaker 1: eggs made your way. How would you have your eggs
- 17:16Speaker 1: well over easy, plus your choice of meat, crispy potatoes,
- 17:21Speaker 1: homemade buttermilk biscuit plus their signature sausage grave And if
- 17:24Speaker 1: you're a hunter, every hunter they basically have like a
- 17:28Speaker 1: thirteen ounce glass and they just drink gravy. I think
- 17:32Speaker 1: that's what hunters do. They just kind of drink sausage,
- 17:35Speaker 1: don't you You would agree with that? So the next time,
- 17:37Speaker 1: the next time you get a hanker, and or maybe
- 17:39Speaker 1: we could even take care of this for you, visit
- 17:41Speaker 1: Tutor's Biscuit World. Start your day the homemade way with
- 17:44Speaker 1: a tutor's biscuit. Three guys also brought to us by
- 17:46Speaker 1: lou Wendel Marine Sales. We mentioned them earlier, the premier
- 17:50Speaker 1: pontoon boat dealer in the state of West Virginia. They're
- 17:52Speaker 1: the only Honda Marine premium dealership in the state. You
- 17:56Speaker 1: can go to the website or you can take a
- 17:58Speaker 1: look and they're saying Albans location at that new Honda
- 18:01Speaker 1: mclearing racing motor. Scott, I don't know if you're a
- 18:03Speaker 1: big boat guy, but this new Honda motor they have
- 18:06Speaker 1: goes two hundred and twenty one miles per hour. No,
- 18:09Speaker 1: I think you don't know that. You don't know that confirmed?
- 18:12Speaker 1: I think I think it does. We're gonna check by

- 18:25Speaker 5: All right, let's go back to that first spring practice
- 18:28Speaker 5: almost a year ago. So you step out on that
- 18:31Speaker 5: field and you were slinging it. By the way, you
- 18:32Speaker 5: could see right away it's like Scotty Fox's arm over.
- 18:36Speaker 5: So the difference between that very first practice when you
- 18:39Speaker 5: stepped on the field the first time to now you're
- 18:41Speaker 5: through your second spring practice, is what what's changed the
- 18:45Speaker 5: most for you?
- 18:46Speaker 2: I would say my thought process of understanding the offense.
- 18:52Speaker 2: That's the main thing. That's the main thing I was
- 18:53Speaker 2: trying to get after the spring was just the why
- 18:56Speaker 2: behind the place and the positive place. But I'd say
- 19:00Speaker 2: the biggest difference was probably just just kind of understanding
- 19:04Speaker 2: the just the why the entire offense, and and just
- 19:09Speaker 2: understanding that you don't always have to make a big play.
- 19:12Speaker 2: You don't always have to you know, and and it's
- 19:14Speaker 2: kind of you know, throughout the season there was times
- 19:17Speaker 2: where I'm just doing too much, making too many plays
- 19:21Speaker 2: where it's sounded just like the best plays, the routine play,
- 19:24Speaker 2: just positive plays and that type of So that's that's
- 19:28Speaker 2: one thing.
- 19:28Speaker 5: That Okay, so go further on that. So the understand
- 19:31Speaker 5: when you say the understanding of the offense, where does
- 19:33Speaker 5: that show itself? What do you are you seeing something
- 19:36Speaker 5: better pre snapped? Are you understanding it post snap? I'm
- 19:39Speaker 5: sure it's all of that, but where does it show itself?
- 19:41Speaker 2: Definitely understand, but one down in distance, you know score
- 19:45Speaker 2: the game situations, you know that you know personnel you
- 19:50Speaker 2: have in the type of like and what I mean
- 19:53Speaker 2: the why to I also mean like kind of the
- 19:54Speaker 2: thought process of Coach Rod's thinking of, like what he's
- 19:57Speaker 2: thinking on his play. So we could be on the
- 19:59Speaker 2: same page with that.
- 20:00Speaker 5: So so you're now you're able to think along in those
- 20:03Speaker 5: situations like here's what's probably coming, Here's why that's coming,
- 20:06Speaker 5: Here's why we're calling a pass here, here's why a
- 20:08Speaker 5: run is coming here.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 20:09Speaker 2: So sometimes, like a lot of do in practice, it's
- 20:11Speaker 2: like when you're not in getting the mental reps, I
- 20:13Speaker 2: like to think kind of when the other guys are in. Okay,
- 20:17Speaker 2: we'll have little chains like chain markers, so we'll have
- 20:19Speaker 2: like the down distance. I'm like trying to think, Okay,
- 20:21Speaker 2: what would first what would I call here? And what
- 20:23Speaker 2: would Coach Rod call here?
- 20:25Speaker 1: W w r D what would Rich do? W Yeah,
- 20:29Speaker 1: you gotta get that bracelet WWRD what would Rich do?
- 20:32Speaker 1: What would WWRC? What would Rich call? So Scotty take us.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Let's got a little deeper on that. It's a great
- 20:38Speaker 1: line of questions. So take us in a game situation
- 20:42Speaker 1: and post play the play just ended. Now it's going
- 20:45Speaker 1: to depend on down to some spotcter. So what do
- 20:48Speaker 1: you have to do? And sometimes you guys are going
- 20:50Speaker 1: really fast to get the next playoff, Like who.
- 20:53Speaker 3: Are you hearing from? What are you thinking about? What
- 20:57Speaker 3: is your what is your thought process in those sometimes
- 21:00Speaker 3: twelve to fifteen seconds?
- 21:02Speaker 2: Yeah, well, one, I know coach Ryle likes to go fast,
- 21:04Speaker 2: so we're gonna not a lot of time for thinking, right.
- 21:08Speaker 2: But I'll have coach Rhett, coach Rod's son, he's he's
- 21:13Speaker 2: the quarterback coach. He'll be in my head set. He's
- 21:15Speaker 2: up in the booth mm hm. So he'll tell me,
- 21:19Speaker 2: you know, what the play call is, and then I'll
- 21:21Speaker 2: yelt to the O line and they'll still do signals
- 21:23Speaker 2: and everything. But most of the time I'm just hearing
- 21:25Speaker 2: it and telling the line because we're going so fast.
- 21:28Speaker 5: So that's first, you're getting play call immediately.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Okay, so play call immediately.
- 21:32Speaker 2: I even hear it in the headset before they even
- 21:34Speaker 2: signal it because they're on the same radio or whatever
- 21:36Speaker 2: it is. But I'll hear it. Tell the O line,
- 21:40Speaker 2: get set, okay, pre snap id safeties, you know, box
- 21:43Speaker 2: count leverage, you know numbers, that type of thing, and
- 21:47Speaker 2: then go from there. Just gotta play fast.
- 21:49Speaker 4: I mean, so you got it. You just named like
- 21:51Speaker 4: four things.
- 21:51Speaker 3: You just you just so even after you've lined up,
- 21:54Speaker 3: you just mentioned four things you have to recognize in
- 21:57Speaker 3: what inten seconds, in what order?
- 22:00Speaker 4: What order?
- 22:01Speaker 2: Always I always leave the safeties first.
- 22:03Speaker 5: That's what they call play call first. Now you're identifying
- 22:06Speaker 5: the safety.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Safety sage, just tell you everything, and then I'll go numbers,
- 22:11Speaker 2: like where where are we trying to get the ball to?
- 22:13Speaker 2: Where are we trying to get space? So numbers grass
- 22:16Speaker 2: like open air and leverage like you guys, leverage, leverage
- 22:20Speaker 2: like if we got you know, we've got a guy
- 22:22Speaker 2: blitzing or somebody want to replace him maybe or if yeah,
- 22:26Speaker 2: that type of thing, like if we got let's say
- 22:28Speaker 2: we're in formation. We got Really it's not it's not
- 22:31Speaker 2: that complicated. It's more just like numbers, so like we're
- 22:34Speaker 2: in its formation, we got more more defensive guys to
- 22:37Speaker 2: the field the boundary.
- 22:39Speaker 4: That's okay, and then are you can you check.
- 22:46Speaker 2: To another not sometimes Now it's not necessarily plays, it's
- 22:50Speaker 2: more more routes because we're going so fast.
- 22:52Speaker 4: Okay, how you go ahead and change.
- 22:54Speaker 1: Rich, don't care right when you got I mean, Rich,
- 22:57Speaker 1: you better hope it works better, hope, just go ahead.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Whatever you're feeling, just go ahead. Say a word.
- 23:05Speaker 4: Are you to the point where when you get the play?
- 23:08Speaker 3: And I assume you're getting that like very quickly hopefully
- 23:11Speaker 3: unless you're going like yeah, okay, yeah, so you got
- 23:14Speaker 3: the play and then are you to the point where
- 23:16Speaker 3: you're lining up and now it's all just very natural
- 23:20Speaker 3: for you, like it's a natural process or.
- 23:22Speaker 2: It's Yeah, I mean, I would say I'd like to
- 23:26Speaker 2: think it's more natural.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Now.
- 23:27Speaker 2: That's another thing off saying like the biggest difference. I'd
- 23:30Speaker 2: say more like just the natural type of the way
- 23:33Speaker 2: you see the field and the defense. But yeah, i'd say,
- 23:36Speaker 2: going up there, it's more like, okay, instantly safety safe,
- 23:38Speaker 2: you tell everything, the numbers, lever all that stuff. Well,
- 23:41Speaker 2: you got to do it quick though, because he must
- 23:42Speaker 2: go so fast.
- 23:43Speaker 5: The difference between when you were thrown into action the
- 23:46Speaker 5: first time versus now has to feel like it's a
- 23:48Speaker 5: totally different universe, right.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Pitt, Yeah, Pitt was going on yeah, oh man, So
- 23:57Speaker 2: what was that like, Pitt? Yeah, oh man, it was well,
- 24:01Speaker 2: go out there, so this will happened. So going a
- 24:03Speaker 2: halftime I think where it's like seven to three and
- 24:06Speaker 2: coach Rhett comes in. He's like, you know you're going in.
- 24:09Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, like I knew. I kind of knew beforehand,
- 24:12Speaker 2: like there's a chance I could play. Just kind of
- 24:14Speaker 2: the reps I was taking that week and kind of
- 24:16Speaker 2: you know what he was saying. Coach Aurette was saying like,
- 24:19Speaker 2: you know, if your numbers call, like be ready. So
- 24:20Speaker 2: I was kind of expecting. I wasn't like necessarily nervous
- 24:22Speaker 2: or anything. It was just like I'm really ready to go.
- 24:25Speaker 2: But he's like, okay, halftime, like you're going in, Like
- 24:29Speaker 2: let's do it, Okay, so go out there. I forgot
- 24:32Speaker 2: what the first drive was. I think it was like
- 24:35Speaker 2: maybe three and out, and the next drive it was
- 24:38Speaker 2: I think just Smith Brown had the long breakaway and
- 24:41Speaker 2: then we scored. Then I'm like okay, I'm up here. Yeah,
- 24:44Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, like let's freaking go like pit rival
- 24:47Speaker 2: West Virginia. Let's go getting the guys hype. And then
- 24:52Speaker 2: next series threw a pick two. I don't know, I
- 24:56Speaker 2: just I thought it was a deg round. I didn't
- 24:59Speaker 2: even this I'm talking about like the pre snap. I
- 25:01Speaker 2: didn't get a good pre snap, just threw it dumb
- 25:04Speaker 2: straight to the guy and then next series went out
- 25:08Speaker 2: did it again? I was like, oh, man, like yeah,
- 25:10Speaker 2: just it's wraps.
- 25:12Speaker 1: Welcome to college football.
- 25:14Speaker 3: So that when that happened, then then you got you
- 25:17Speaker 3: got yanked, right, yeah, of course, then what how do.
- 25:22Speaker 4: You get it back? How do you get it back?
- 25:25Speaker 4: That voulu you up?
- 25:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:26Speaker 2: I'd say that's probably one of the hardest weeks of
- 25:28Speaker 2: my life just from being because the week before or
- 25:31Speaker 2: two weeks before, it's like, okay, go from scoring touchdowns
- 25:33Speaker 2: and now you're all the way in the bottom. That
- 25:35Speaker 2: was really hard mentally, but again like just can do
- 25:39Speaker 2: nothing besides just you know, your attitude and effort to
- 25:42Speaker 2: control those Just stay your feet art. I just keep
- 25:45Speaker 2: working and working, and then eventually, like throughout the season
- 25:47Speaker 2: and I think my next action was like b YU
- 25:49Speaker 2: for a little bit and then from there just coming build.
- 25:52Speaker 2: But it did throw you for a loop, Yes, for sure,
- 25:55Speaker 2: it was probably. Yeah, I was probably one of the
- 25:56Speaker 2: hardest weeks of my life for sure, just because it
- 25:58Speaker 2: was you know, because I know how much it means
- 26:00Speaker 2: to the state and how much you know, how passionate
- 26:04Speaker 2: all these fans are.
- 26:05Speaker 3: So I mean in West Virginia wins the game, yeah,
- 26:08Speaker 3: but you have this bad day.
- 26:09Speaker 2: So it's like it was like, yeah, I mean, I
- 26:14Speaker 2: was thrilled we won. Like it was like it was
- 26:17Speaker 2: probably the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life,
- 26:19Speaker 2: just because I'm a part of it now, Like last
- 26:22Speaker 2: couple of years I've seen it in recruiting, like just
- 26:24Speaker 2: kind of you know, being around it, but now you're
- 26:28Speaker 2: like a part of it. And it was it was
- 26:29Speaker 2: so cool. But but then it after it was more
- 26:32Speaker 2: like not necessarily lost self confidence because that I knew
- 26:36Speaker 2: that's not the way I play. But it was more
- 26:38Speaker 2: like I'm all the way back at the bottom. I
- 26:40Speaker 2: gotta work my way up that type of thing, and
- 26:42Speaker 2: that was that was kind of the hard part. But yeah,
- 26:45Speaker 2: just had it come in every day and just keep working.
- 26:48Speaker 2: It's all you can do.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Yeah. What kind of offense did you guys run at mentor.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Kind of similar to Coach Rocks, it was it was
- 26:55Speaker 2: more we didn't run a tight end though, so it
- 26:57Speaker 2: was more straight spread. We didn't go under center. There
- 27:01Speaker 2: is more pure progression like type of routes, that type
- 27:03Speaker 2: of thing. We do a lot of similar quick game here.
- 27:08Speaker 2: That's why I really like the quick game. Yeah, I
- 27:11Speaker 2: feel like I'm I'm really good at quick game here.
- 27:13Speaker 2: But that's why I think it's so similar. But we
- 27:17Speaker 2: didn't have a tight end more. It was really similar.
- 27:20Speaker 2: It was and then being here and getting reps. It
- 27:23Speaker 2: was like with coach Rod, I was able to understand
- 27:26Speaker 2: the the true meaning of like the defenders and the
- 27:30Speaker 2: numbers and that type of things.
- 27:31Speaker 1: A numbers game, isn't it.
- 27:32Speaker 2: Yeah, literally, that's all the football is.
- 27:34Speaker 1: It's all just like you. Oh, he's just constantly sniffing.
- 27:37Speaker 1: He's like a dog, like, okay, wet where we're at,
- 27:39Speaker 1: Where we're at, where we're at. Okay, I got a
- 27:40Speaker 1: numbers advantage here, go pop it. Yeah yeah, I mean
- 27:43Speaker 1: did you did you come to learn that he is
- 27:47Speaker 1: credited as one of the offensive innovators in the game.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I just found out a couple of weeks ago
- 27:53Speaker 2: that he invented the readoption. You look it up, look
- 27:55Speaker 2: up who invented the readops?
- 27:58Speaker 1: And Jed Drenny the Sideline Report, you know Jed right,
- 28:01Speaker 1: our sideline reporter so it was jed in practice where
- 28:05Speaker 1: the end comes up and he goes, he pulled, and
- 28:08Speaker 1: he went to Rich and said, you know, I can't run,
- 28:11Speaker 1: but if if you had someone that could, you can
- 28:16Speaker 1: read that end and off it goes.
- 28:19Speaker 2: That's cool. I think he said it was Glenville State,
- 28:23Speaker 2: absolutely true. Yeah, right down the road.
- 28:25Speaker 1: And then he's had I mean, he's had just a
- 28:27Speaker 1: bunch of really good quarterbacks, and he's had a lot
- 28:30Speaker 1: of really good quarterbacks. But you did something.
- 28:33Speaker 5: Least some of them are still over there. Some of
- 28:34Speaker 5: them are still in the building.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Yea of them.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 28:38Speaker 1: So starting as a true freshman, you become the first
- 28:43Speaker 1: in over seventy years to do that at West Virginia.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Fred Wyant, you don't. I mean you may have heard
- 28:49Speaker 1: the name. He was the gentleman that did and became
- 28:52Speaker 1: an NFL referee, an in state guy, but it had
- 28:55Speaker 1: been since the nineteen fifties the last time a true
- 28:58Speaker 1: freshman had started. Then you throw for three bills, right twice,
- 29:04Speaker 1: two occasions. Yeah, on two occasions TCU and the Arizona Staters,
- 29:08Speaker 1: and like that. It's a heck of a good start
- 29:12Speaker 1: to a campaign, to a career. It really is. I mean,
- 29:15Speaker 1: I just again, I always find it amazing how freshmen
- 29:21Speaker 1: come in nowadays, because in the old days, right, it
- 29:24Speaker 1: was a two to three year maturation process before they
- 29:27Speaker 1: would even let them sniff the field. And now it's
- 29:30Speaker 1: like go time, let's do it.
- 29:32Speaker 5: Say that again, though, that's pretty wild. First first got
- 29:34Speaker 5: to start as a true freshman in that many years
- 29:36Speaker 5: LA seventy and then to throw for three bills twice.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Against as they say, against Arizona State and against TCU.
- 29:46Speaker 1: I mean, that's not right, that's not like lower level
- 29:50Speaker 1: Division nine.
- 29:51Speaker 5: So what were those games like for you in comparison
- 29:54Speaker 5: to how fast that pit game was moving? How about
- 29:57Speaker 5: those two? What were you seeing? What was happening? How
- 29:59Speaker 5: much slow?
- 30:00Speaker 1: Where was it? Remember back to walk us through TCU?
- 30:03Speaker 2: Yeah so TCU? Okay, At this point I forgot what
- 30:08Speaker 2: week it was, but it was we had I think
- 30:11Speaker 2: it was UCF before it wasn't it?
- 30:13Speaker 4: Or was it?
- 30:13Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 30:14Speaker 1: So it.
- 30:16Speaker 2: Was or UCF. Okay, So I kind of figured, okay,
- 30:20Speaker 2: I have you know this start under my belt already.
- 30:23Speaker 2: I've kind of seen the field, I know how fast
- 30:25Speaker 2: the game works. And UCF they they were kind of
- 30:29Speaker 2: messing with they did some good disguises and all that
- 30:32Speaker 2: type of stuff, and it was just I kind of
- 30:34Speaker 2: overanalyzed for it being my last start UCF. I was
- 30:37Speaker 2: watching I almost felt like I watched too much film
- 30:39Speaker 2: at UCF, so I was over analyzing. So TCU, I
- 30:42Speaker 2: kind of took a step back and I was like, Okay,
- 30:44Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna let the game come to me.
- 30:46Speaker 2: I'm gonna let the game come to me. I'm gonna
- 30:47Speaker 2: just know where my routes are, know what the defense
- 30:50Speaker 2: is doing, know the weaknesses, and just take advantage of it.
- 30:52Speaker 2: And I just went from there. And you know, first
- 30:58Speaker 2: think two drives tc was kind of slow, and then
- 31:01Speaker 2: after that one passed to ward, I was like okay,
- 31:05Speaker 2: and we got a little rhythm and then just start
- 31:07Speaker 2: slinging it from there.
- 31:08Speaker 1: So and you were slinging it.
- 31:11Speaker 5: You went from seventeen attempts against UCF all the way
- 31:13Speaker 5: up to forty one.
- 31:14Speaker 2: You were you were dealing, man. Yeah, it was it
- 31:16Speaker 2: was fun. Yeah, that was fun slinging the rock around
- 31:18Speaker 2: a little bit with the guys. But I know it
- 31:19Speaker 2: didn't it sucked that we lost it. We were so
- 31:21Speaker 2: close because there's a couple of times where I know
- 31:24Speaker 2: we were I overthrew a couple of balls to Cam Vaughan.
- 31:28Speaker 2: It was just that's that's another part of understanding it,
- 31:32Speaker 2: like the the offense is like the leverage and if
- 31:35Speaker 2: I waited a little bit longer to throw it, that
- 31:37Speaker 2: type of thing. But yeah, it sucked that we lost,
- 31:40Speaker 2: but that gave me confidence going in the next game.
- 31:43Speaker 2: And then think the next game was Houston, but yeah,
- 31:47Speaker 2: it was, Uh, it was fun slinging around a little
- 31:49Speaker 2: bit and then that kind of gave me back my
- 31:51Speaker 2: confidence back from that first Pit game like it was.
- 31:55Speaker 2: And I think, honestly, I'm glad that Pit happened to
- 31:58Speaker 2: me because it kind of help me have that adversity sure,
- 32:02Speaker 2: you know, because you're going to have hard things go
- 32:04Speaker 2: out through your career and I've kind of learned that.
- 32:06Speaker 2: So I'm kind of glad that pick kind of happened
- 32:09Speaker 2: to me because I kind of that's as low as
- 32:11Speaker 2: you can go, really, I mean not really because if
- 32:14Speaker 2: we'd lost then probably, but that's as a player, that's
- 32:19Speaker 2: probably the lowest you can go. And kind of just
- 32:23Speaker 2: realizing that kind of helped me be the kind of
- 32:27Speaker 2: player I am now kind of just realizing that you're
- 32:29Speaker 2: going to let the game come to you. And then
- 32:31Speaker 2: obviously it takes raps like the speed of the game.
- 32:33Speaker 1: But so you said, you see f trick you a
- 32:35Speaker 1: little bit.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.
- 32:37Speaker 1: I got a sense that you would love to go like,
- 32:39Speaker 1: give me, give me the ball again. I want to
- 32:41Speaker 1: play you.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Yes, yes, oh my gosh, yes, yeah, I know.
- 32:44Speaker 1: I know of what you do. Three guys before the
- 32:45Speaker 1: game is brought to us by Jan Dill's attorneys at law,
- 32:49Speaker 1: whether it is personal injury, whether it is military benefits
- 32:52Speaker 1: or social security claims. Jay a client of Jan Dill's
- 32:56Speaker 1: attorneys at law, and he had this to say, the
- 32:59Speaker 1: team that worked me to achieve success and getting my
- 33:01Speaker 1: disability approve is nothing less than spectacular. They're tremendous dedication
- 33:06Speaker 1: to my case and credible care help me overcome the
- 33:08Speaker 1: challenges I unintentionally created. Despite all of that, they remained patient, dedicated.
- 33:14Speaker 1: If there were a way to give everyone on the
- 33:16Speaker 1: team a ten out of a five, I do it.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Truly a wonderful experience. If you're reading this and need
- 33:22Speaker 1: help with most legal matters and want kind, caring, thorough focus,
- 33:25Speaker 1: dedicated and exceptional legal representation, in my opinion, that's a
- 33:29Speaker 1: good review. Jan Dill's Attorney's lar are the best.
- 33:32Speaker 5: Ten out of five.
- 33:33Speaker 1: I like that. That's pretty good. I like that. You go,
- 33:35Speaker 1: what are we doing scholastically? What are you major?
- 33:38Speaker 2: I'm doing sports management now and then a minor in
- 33:40Speaker 2: personal training fitness.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Oh really, so you're going to stay in this sweaty world? Yeah?
- 33:44Speaker 1: Love it? What do you want to do?
- 33:45Speaker 2: Love it?
- 33:46Speaker 1: I want to do.
- 33:48Speaker 2: I don't necessarily know if I would do coaching yet.
- 33:50Speaker 2: I'm still trying to figure that out. I feel like
- 33:52Speaker 2: I would coach, but I just love playing too much
- 33:56Speaker 2: to the point of that. But I definitely want to
- 33:58Speaker 2: be to be active like personal trainer, love to you know,
- 34:03Speaker 2: be active lifts, you know, like you liked the weight room. Yeah,
- 34:06Speaker 2: big weight room guy.
- 34:07Speaker 1: So who's that graduate assistant that's in there now that
- 34:11Speaker 1: looks exactly like Walter young Bear.
- 34:14Speaker 2: It is Walter young Bear.
- 34:18Speaker 5: It's an unbelievable transformation.
- 34:19Speaker 1: He lose.
- 34:21Speaker 2: He looks great.
- 34:21Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 34:22Speaker 2: I was talking to him about a couple of weeks ago,
- 34:23Speaker 2: but I forgot what he said. But he looks great.
- 34:26Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the perfect way to describe it.
- 34:29Speaker 2: The g a in there that looks like Walter Younger.
- 34:30Speaker 5: That's exactly, that's exact.
- 34:32Speaker 1: I saw him during Spring Bomb looking at him, going,
- 34:34Speaker 1: holy hell, that's Walter young Bear. He's like he's lost
- 34:36Speaker 1: about eighty oh man. Yeah, that didn't take long if
- 34:40Speaker 1: you were to say to him, Yeah, that guy was
- 34:41Speaker 1: an offensive line and the.
- 34:44Speaker 5: Last year, last year, not like ten years ago, like
- 34:46Speaker 5: last year.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Yeah, so you like that. Why do you like the
- 34:49Speaker 1: weight room? I don't know.
- 34:50Speaker 2: I'm just I've always been the type of type of
- 34:53Speaker 2: kids just to like get his energy out, just love
- 34:56Speaker 2: to I love pushing my I don't feel fulfilled unless
- 34:59Speaker 2: I pushed myself of the max.
- 35:00Speaker 1: That makes sense. Great, that's a great situation in the
- 35:04Speaker 1: world that you're living in. How many two twenties? How
- 35:05Speaker 1: many two twenties, two twenties?
- 35:07Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, bench like two twenty five. Well, good thing
- 35:12Speaker 2: is quarterbacks don't really bench because of our shoulders functional.
- 35:15Speaker 2: Oh okay, but we'll do. We'll do like Dumbell and
- 35:18Speaker 2: all that. We'll probably go up to about nineties. Tomes.
- 35:20Speaker 3: So, one of your the assistant quarterback coaches is Pat White.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Has he regaled you with his stories of when he
- 35:28Speaker 3: was playing here.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he'll do you know, in our meetings, he'll
- 35:30Speaker 2: he'll tell us all, you know when he's playing with
- 35:34Speaker 2: Rich Rod and his stories, and it was I think
- 35:36Speaker 2: it was the same offense really.
- 35:38Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, pretty much. I mean for the most part, Yeah,
- 35:40Speaker 1: same concept.
- 35:41Speaker 2: He's saying that they had a couple like concepts, but
- 35:44Speaker 2: now it's a little bit more advanced.
- 35:45Speaker 1: He Rich ran, I know what you're gonna say. Do
- 35:50Speaker 1: you go ahead say?
- 35:50Speaker 4: I was gonna say.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Rich's favorite play was see what happened when Pat had
- 35:56Speaker 3: the ball?
- 35:57Speaker 1: And Pat took off sixteen times in a row? He
- 36:01Speaker 1: won a bowl game for us and we we do.
- 36:04Speaker 1: I need to go back and see how many times
- 36:05Speaker 1: he carried it straight.
- 36:06Speaker 5: It felt like eighteen.
- 36:07Speaker 1: It felt like eighteen, but it was pretty probably like
- 36:09Speaker 1: ran six eight times in a row.
- 36:10Speaker 4: Do you like to run? Do you like the run plays?
- 36:13Speaker 4: You like the run plays?
- 36:14Speaker 2: Run plays?
- 36:14Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 36:15Speaker 1: Were you run? Were you run?
- 36:16Speaker 2: Oh? Of course?
- 36:17Speaker 4: Oh really?
- 36:17Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 36:18Speaker 2: I knew that's I knew that was part of the
- 36:20Speaker 2: being a quarterback. Here you to you don't want to
- 36:22Speaker 2: run through someone's face.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Okay, well you started early.
- 36:25Speaker 5: You did a good Pat White impression. Your first your
- 36:27Speaker 5: first Big play Games. It's Bobby Morris. Yeah, we gassed
- 36:31Speaker 5: at the end of it.
- 36:31Speaker 2: Or jem My hamstrings were cooked.
- 36:35Speaker 1: I mean you were cooking.
- 36:36Speaker 2: You were go because I came off the bench. I
- 36:38Speaker 2: wasn't even warm or nothing, and I had I was like, okay,
- 36:42Speaker 2: well you know, because honestly, I was like, okay, I'm
- 36:45Speaker 2: pulling the ball regardless. I'm like, I'm running the ball
- 36:51Speaker 2: like this. There's only so much I can my opportunity
- 36:53Speaker 2: to get out of this. So I'm like, I'm pulling
- 36:55Speaker 2: the ball every time. And then the one time I
- 36:57Speaker 2: pulled it, I was running and I broke free. I
- 36:59Speaker 2: was like huffing. You can kind of tell what I'm like, Yeah,
- 37:05Speaker 2: it was my handswing cell like they're gonna pop. But
- 37:08Speaker 2: then I got the end zone and I was just
- 37:09Speaker 2: like I just I blacked out. It was just it
- 37:12Speaker 2: was surreal, but it was awesome.
- 37:15Speaker 1: That story. You just made me remember something. I forget
- 37:19Speaker 1: which game it was, you'll remember, but like Rich was
- 37:22Speaker 1: going was going crazy on the sideline on basically we
- 37:27Speaker 1: were just running the clock down and ending the game,
- 37:30Speaker 1: and he is just like he's got his elbows are out,
- 37:33Speaker 1: He's just flying all over the place, and he told
- 37:36Speaker 1: me afterwards, like you just wanted to like, coach, chill out, man,
- 37:40Speaker 1: it's not that hard. I got it. And I went like, well,
- 37:42Speaker 1: if that's a true freshman telling you that, then he's
- 37:44Speaker 1: got some stuff to him, which is a good thing.
- 37:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember, I remember that. That was Yeah. So
- 37:50Speaker 2: it was end of the game of Houston. There was
- 37:52Speaker 2: like I don't know, a couple of seconds left whatever
- 37:54Speaker 2: we had run to play and we never practiced, or
- 37:56Speaker 2: we practice I think once once a week, you know,
- 38:00Speaker 2: towards our walk through, like taking a knee at towards
- 38:03Speaker 2: the end, and you know, I'm sure having a true
- 38:06Speaker 2: freshman out there last play the game, like he's like,
- 38:08Speaker 2: don't fumble the ball.
- 38:10Speaker 1: Right now, right, get a snap?
- 38:13Speaker 2: Get a snap. I'm like, and then it's like kind
- 38:15Speaker 2: of freaking out the center I think it was living
- 38:17Speaker 2: living center is freaking him out, like like get a snap,
- 38:21Speaker 2: and it's like we're right there in the huddle and
- 38:26Speaker 2: I'm like, coach, like, coach, we got it, Like we're good.
- 38:28Speaker 2: We do this like it's just a taking a knee.
- 38:30Speaker 1: We're good. We're good.
- 38:33Speaker 3: So that that so that makes us that's a good
- 38:36Speaker 3: rich rod story. And as you said earlier about Richard's
- 38:39Speaker 3: rich Rod's edge, you love it. So how do you
- 38:42Speaker 3: we know that rich is enthusiastic in his communication with
- 38:45Speaker 3: his player.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a good way of putting it.
- 38:48Speaker 4: So how does that and not everybody deals well with that?
- 38:51Speaker 4: And how do you?
- 38:52Speaker 3: And you wouldn't be here if you didn't, But how
- 38:54Speaker 3: do you deal with that? Because he's very as I said,
- 38:56Speaker 3: he's very demonstrative.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Definitely. Well, one thing I've kind of as of being here,
- 39:00Speaker 2: that's that like it's never personal, like he he does
- 39:04Speaker 2: that to get the best out of you. Like and
- 39:08Speaker 2: I was even talking one of my best friends, Jeff Wimer. Yeah,
- 39:12Speaker 2: he actually just moved out. I was living with him
- 39:13Speaker 2: for a little bit, but he told me he was
- 39:16Speaker 2: like out of the you know, he's oldest. But sorry, Jeff,
- 39:24Speaker 2: if you're honest, But yeah, so he was telling me
- 39:28Speaker 2: he's like I played for a lot of coaches. He
- 39:30Speaker 2: played for a lot of coaches. I've never had a
- 39:32Speaker 2: genuine a coach that's genuinely cares that much about getting
- 39:35Speaker 2: the best out of you.
- 39:37Speaker 1: In the way he does it.
- 39:38Speaker 2: You know, he might be a little harsh whatever, but
- 39:39Speaker 2: it's never like personal, you know what I mean.
- 39:41Speaker 4: So, so your boy Wimer just got invited to the Chiefs.
- 39:45Speaker 2: That's a big time yeah. Yeah, So I know he's
- 39:48Speaker 2: gonna do good things there. He's just the way he works,
- 39:51Speaker 2: so I definitely think he'll he'll show out.
- 39:53Speaker 1: Going back to rich. I think another thing that is
- 39:57Speaker 1: makes him unique is that he takes every single rep
- 40:01Speaker 1: in a practice personal, like to your point, even if
- 40:05Speaker 1: it's just we're gonna run a little toss or we're
- 40:08Speaker 1: gonna hand off run an ice, so whatever it is, like,
- 40:10Speaker 1: to him, that's the single most important play of the day.
- 40:15Speaker 1: And while you might go, it's just one of two
- 40:18Speaker 1: hundred and fifty snaps we're getting out here today, like,
- 40:20Speaker 1: to him, if it gets screwed up, we got a situation, definitely.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Well it kind of he chases perfection, and that's what
- 40:27Speaker 2: you want in a coach. I mean, obviously you're not
- 40:29Speaker 2: gonna be perfect, but when you have a coach that
- 40:32Speaker 2: chases perfection kind of like him, it's it really pushes
- 40:35Speaker 2: you to be the best that you can be. And
- 40:37Speaker 2: that's that's what I'm very thankful for with him and
- 40:39Speaker 2: a coach like him, it's that he wants the best
- 40:41Speaker 2: out of you, no matter what, no matter who you are.
- 40:44Speaker 2: Excuse me, but yeah, like no matter who you are,
- 40:47Speaker 2: no matter like what, what your depth is, no matter what,
- 40:50Speaker 2: Like he wants the best out of you.
- 40:51Speaker 1: Yeah, so he in practice, he comes up with some
- 40:55Speaker 1: great lines. Do you ever have to turn your head
- 40:57Speaker 1: and not laugh? Oh man, yeah, yeah, me too, Like
- 41:00Speaker 1: I'm a side sometimes I just have turned toward the
- 41:02Speaker 1: fence sometimes because he'll say, he'll say some stuff for
- 41:05Speaker 1: you go like that's that is just beautiful. Yeah.
- 41:07Speaker 2: Sometimes yeah, somebody be in practice and it's like, oh man, yeah,
- 41:14Speaker 2: it's it's hilarious. It's hilarious.
- 41:16Speaker 4: Do you going back to the play calling and.
- 41:20Speaker 3: Last year or maybe in the spring now, So, are
- 41:22Speaker 3: you at a point where when you when the play
- 41:26Speaker 3: is over and the next play is coming up and
- 41:28Speaker 3: you hear what the play is coming in, you've already
- 41:30Speaker 3: like you're not surprised, Like that's what you would have
- 41:32Speaker 3: called you were you mentioned that earlier. So are you
- 41:34Speaker 3: feel the rhythm there now, like oh yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 41:38Speaker 2: So well now it's like I feel like I played
- 41:40Speaker 2: best and I'm fast and decisive, so when I get
- 41:42Speaker 2: that play call, I instantly think of the route concepts
- 41:45Speaker 2: and what you're trying to do, and then from there
- 41:47Speaker 2: you go off of the safety's box all that.
- 41:50Speaker 3: But you're not surprised by the play no, okay, You're like, oh, yeah,
- 41:53Speaker 3: that's that makes sense based on what we practice.
- 41:56Speaker 2: It's very simple. You know, do it, do it, Sam.
- 42:00Speaker 2: But we're gonna put your face through somebody and you're
- 42:02Speaker 2: gonna make them okay, so we're gonna wear them down.
- 42:05Speaker 2: But yeah, So it's like I have my in my head.
- 42:08Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, I'm gonna go here to hear if
- 42:10Speaker 2: that's not there, check down and run like quick okay,
- 42:13Speaker 2: because I feel like I play best, decisive and quick,
- 42:15Speaker 2: like no where I'm gonna go with the ball even
- 42:16Speaker 2: pre Honestly, it's mostly a little bit pre snap and
- 42:19Speaker 2: then post snap. Obviously it's gonna change, but when you
- 42:22Speaker 2: have that idea, it helps you post snap of where
- 42:25Speaker 2: you want to go with the ball.
- 42:26Speaker 1: A bunch of new faces in the program after the spring,
- 42:30Speaker 1: well after winter recruiting and then spring ball, so just
- 42:34Speaker 1: give me, like from a thirty thousand foot elevation, just
- 42:38Speaker 1: talent wise, can you sense that you guys are better.
- 42:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really excited for this year for sure. I
- 42:44Speaker 2: think we got some guys that know, especially coming in
- 42:50Speaker 2: excuse me that are I'm really excited for.
- 42:53Speaker 1: Got some pretty receivers. Yeah, big long, big time giraffe
- 42:57Speaker 1: like dudes out there. Strength.
- 43:00Speaker 5: Get Jayden Bray back in the line.
- 43:01Speaker 1: Oh yeah right yeah yeah. Uh. Individually when you went
- 43:06Speaker 1: out for spring, what was the biggest thing you wanted
- 43:09Speaker 1: to feel better when spring was over? I want to
- 43:11Speaker 1: do this better, I.
- 43:13Speaker 2: Would say, let me think kind of eliminate the And
- 43:19Speaker 2: I've kind of realized this later into spring because I
- 43:22Speaker 2: kind of went into spring thinking like understand the offense
- 43:24Speaker 2: and why, and then middle of spring, I was like,
- 43:27Speaker 2: eliminate the you know, the negative yards plays, you know,
- 43:31Speaker 2: because coach Rod always tells us when we have negative
- 43:35Speaker 2: yards plays and turnovers, you.
- 43:36Speaker 1: Lose undefeated all the time.
- 43:38Speaker 2: Yeah, or no negative yards plays, no turnovers win one
- 43:41Speaker 2: hundred percent of the time. Right, So that's one big
- 43:43Speaker 2: thing that that's why we're just positive plays. Routine plays
- 43:46Speaker 2: is the best play that type of thing.
- 43:49Speaker 1: Can you have you scrimmage enough, can you sense enough
- 43:51Speaker 1: offensive line wise? Can you see can you feel the difference?
- 43:54Speaker 2: Oh, for sure in what way I feel like just
- 43:58Speaker 2: the attitude and the effort that coming in now to
- 44:02Speaker 2: this old line that it's like, now we got that
- 44:04Speaker 2: like kind of fire under us, that kind of you know,
- 44:07Speaker 2: the want to and especially even just like talent wise
- 44:09Speaker 2: of all the guy you guys coming into all even
- 44:12Speaker 2: a lot of freshmen. Just I'm really excited.
- 44:14Speaker 5: With some depth too. There's a bunch of guys up
- 44:16Speaker 5: there right an interchangeable parts.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of coach Rout is saying that he
- 44:19Speaker 2: wants like ten or eleven playable offensive line.
- 44:23Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, handing the ball off to dudes, different
- 44:27Speaker 1: new faces at running back. What are you seeing?
- 44:30Speaker 2: I'm seeing a bunch of judics again that want to
- 44:32Speaker 2: run through someone's face.
- 44:33Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, just played like their hairs on fire.
- 44:36Speaker 1: That's an old have you ever heard that one before?
- 44:38Speaker 1: That's an old Rich line too, played like your hair
- 44:40Speaker 1: is on fire.
- 44:40Speaker 5: Mari's pretty big freshman. Yeah, physically he doesn't look like
- 44:43Speaker 5: a freshman man.
- 44:44Speaker 2: It looks like a fifth year senior.
- 44:45Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, he's gonna be good.
- 44:46Speaker 5: Cam Cook obviously the country and rushing, he'll be good.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Yeah. A lot of the freshmen, Yeah, it's pretty exciting.
- 44:53Speaker 3: Are you are you a are you a natural leader?
- 45:00Speaker 3: Or have you had to accept a leadership role or
- 45:03Speaker 3: be coached on a leadership role.
- 45:04Speaker 2: I just kind of say what I like to do
- 45:06Speaker 2: is just like I want to be authentically like myself.
- 45:09Speaker 2: I don't feel like I'm trying to, you know, be
- 45:13Speaker 2: obviously be a leader, like I'm gonna be a leader
- 45:15Speaker 2: in everything that I do. But I feel like sometimes
- 45:18Speaker 2: I almost catch myself like not being me and that's
- 45:21Speaker 2: like I feel like that's not being a leader because
- 45:25Speaker 2: you being a leader, you want guys to come gravitate
- 45:27Speaker 2: towards you. And if they're gravitating towards you when you're
- 45:30Speaker 2: not yourself, then it's like, so.
- 45:31Speaker 4: You need to be authentic, Yes.
- 45:33Speaker 2: Yes, authentic can connect with the guys and kind of
- 45:36Speaker 2: know that. Yeah, just just being authentic, have that. Yeah,
- 45:40Speaker 2: I feel like I do. I feel like I just
- 45:43Speaker 2: really every day I just try to be myself kind
- 45:45Speaker 2: of because I feel like I'm not yourself, then you're
- 45:48Speaker 2: not gonna I don't know.
- 45:51Speaker 4: Do you do you bond with like the alignment and stuff?
- 45:54Speaker 1: Definitely?
- 45:55Speaker 2: Definitely. I feel like a lot of lot of good guys.
- 45:57Speaker 1: That you like it when you see him in the
- 45:58Speaker 1: weight room and you're there.
- 45:59Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the winter workouts, you're getting after it.
- 46:02Speaker 1: Oh man, we're getting after go guys. It be cause
- 46:06Speaker 1: yeah it was.
- 46:06Speaker 2: It was awesome.
- 46:07Speaker 4: Protect the quarterback, yeah yeah, run the football yeah you uh.
- 46:12Speaker 1: This thing never really ends anymore. You This is your
- 46:14Speaker 1: longest period off right now that you're into. It's gonna
- 46:18Speaker 1: last about three plus weeks. Then you're back here eighteen
- 46:22Speaker 1: OTAs and before we know what, it's going to be August.
- 46:26Speaker 1: What's the biggest thing, like, how will you throw? And
- 46:31Speaker 1: when will you throw? During the summer months? Will you
- 46:33Speaker 1: try to get guys together next three weeks? You say no, No,
- 46:36Speaker 1: When after the three week break is over, when you
- 46:38Speaker 1: guys come back, what will you do?
- 46:40Speaker 2: We'll have I don't know what the schedule will be,
- 46:42Speaker 2: but we're more like afternoonish type of all right practicing,
- 46:46Speaker 2: So Friday guests. So let's say we have a lift
- 46:48Speaker 2: group at like eleven or twelve, So lifts. So let's say, okay, Monday, Wednday, Friday,
- 46:53Speaker 2: let's say just we'll just have lifts and then throwing
- 46:56Speaker 2: and then Tuesdays and Thursdays we will you know, we'll
- 46:59Speaker 2: let's in the morning or let's say eleven, and then
- 47:03Speaker 2: like three point thirty will have like skill development days,
- 47:05Speaker 2: like we'll do like all the skill position stuff and that.
- 47:09Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean we'll be probably throwing every single day.
- 47:11Speaker 2: Like in the winter, we were throwing five days a week.
- 47:15Speaker 2: Yeah already, so yeah, it was we'll probably be throwing
- 47:18Speaker 2: probably run the same, if not more.
- 47:19Speaker 5: I mentioned earlier, you've got to You've got a strong
- 47:21Speaker 5: arm that was evident early. Stronger this year feel the same.
- 47:25Speaker 2: I'll definitely say it's not necessarily I wouldn't say stronger,
- 47:29Speaker 2: but I would say getting all the ball to places
- 47:33Speaker 2: more accurately because of my lower half. Like I these
- 47:38Speaker 2: next three weeks coming up, I'm gonna get with my
- 47:40Speaker 2: high school coach, like we're he's one that really taught
- 47:43Speaker 2: me everything. We're gonna get together and we're gonna go
- 47:47Speaker 2: over footwork and that stuff like that, clean it up
- 47:50Speaker 2: and watch my film all that type of stuff. So
- 47:52Speaker 2: I think off of that will increase your arm.
- 47:55Speaker 5: Yeah, strength, because I'm not too where I know you
- 47:57Speaker 5: already can make every throw right, so now it's like
- 48:00Speaker 5: dialing up accuracy. That'd be the next next.
- 48:03Speaker 2: That type of thing. So yeah, not so much physically
- 48:07Speaker 2: I'm worried about. It's more like on a mental type
- 48:09Speaker 2: of piece. Now I feel like that's that's more I
- 48:12Speaker 2: need to work on.
- 48:14Speaker 1: Anybody over on the defensive side. Good question that caught
- 48:18Speaker 1: your eye, like when you were dropping back or rolling on. Oh.
- 48:22Speaker 2: I think our nickels are really good. I think her
- 48:25Speaker 2: safety is gonna be good. I think are linebackers and
- 48:28Speaker 2: be good. I think are uh D lines. I think
- 48:31Speaker 2: I think as a whole, our defense is going to
- 48:33Speaker 2: be pretty solid this year. A couple of players I
- 48:35Speaker 2: think that I saw my plays is Ladimir. He's pretty good.
- 48:41Speaker 2: He's making some plays. And then one of our corners charms,
- 48:46Speaker 2: Yeah he's lanky.

- 56:29Speaker 1: You got, you got chefs, you got just people just
- 56:32Speaker 1: sitting there waiting yet what can I make you? What
- 56:37Speaker 1: can I make you? Yeah?

- 56:45Speaker 1: You know?
- 56:46Speaker 2: It's like it's great.
- 56:47Speaker 5: What's the bread situation?
- 56:48Speaker 2: Bread?

- 56:55Speaker 2: Pizza.
- 56:56Speaker 1: I made you on sour and pizza. If I made
- 56:59Speaker 1: you a loaf of my wheat bread with organic wheat flour,
- 57:01Speaker 1: you'd eat it. It's really good. What didn't you bring
- 57:04Speaker 1: them one? I show you. I made it two days ago.
- 57:09Speaker 1: I'll get it. I'll get you up by the way.
- 57:11Speaker 3: The one you gave me, we put half in the freezer. Yeah,
- 57:14Speaker 3: got one out the other day. That works well, doesn't
- 57:16Speaker 3: It was still delicious.
- 57:18Speaker 1: Yeah. There's studies out there that show if you freeze bread,
- 57:22Speaker 1: homemade bread, if you freeze it, people that have stomach
- 57:27Speaker 1: issues with bread and that kind of stuff it ten x's.
- 57:31Speaker 1: It makes it ten times better for people that have
- 57:33Speaker 1: stomach issues. Yeah. I'm not saying that it gets away
- 57:37Speaker 1: silly act, but I'm saying people that struggle with when
- 57:39Speaker 1: they have that that ten times the freezing does something
- 57:42Speaker 1: to the enzymes which makes it better. So there's your
- 57:44Speaker 1: tip for the day. Hey, let me get back. Can
- 57:46Speaker 1: I give it football for a second? No, we don't.
- 57:48Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, Okay, So Scotty, when you guys are
- 57:51Speaker 3: in a quarterback room, you and Hawkins and Max Bound
- 57:54Speaker 3: everybody else. Again, there's like ten guys in there and
- 57:57Speaker 3: you're watching you're watching film.
- 58:00Speaker 1: Okay.
- 58:00Speaker 3: Is it just quiet and you're watching or you guys
- 58:02Speaker 3: like bouncing off each other.
- 58:04Speaker 4: I mean, how does that? How does that work?
- 58:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it's mostly you know, we'll all watch it together
- 58:09Speaker 2: and then Coach Rhett will mostly go over it and
- 58:13Speaker 2: then if we have any questions or anything, you know,
- 58:14Speaker 2: we'll talk, you know, but like chime in. But it's
- 58:18Speaker 2: more like he'll kind of just uh, you know, he'll
- 58:21Speaker 2: go over it with us, and then you know, obviously
- 58:23Speaker 2: if we have anything you want to ask you questions.
- 58:26Speaker 4: Are you a film guy?
- 58:27Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.
- 58:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you.
- 58:28Speaker 2: Like it definitely. However, I'm not like of a too
- 58:31Speaker 2: much film guy because I feel like when I watched
- 58:33Speaker 2: too much film to a point, like I just had
- 58:37Speaker 2: like UCF, I was over analyzing the film so much
- 58:40Speaker 2: that I feel like I wasn't playing fast to the
- 58:42Speaker 2: point of like I was like looking to the point
- 58:44Speaker 2: of like the demeanors of the guys of like, okay,
- 58:50Speaker 2: I was looking too long at the safety at this
- 58:52Speaker 2: safety Because I feel like instead of just like, okay, here,
- 58:55Speaker 2: this is what they could do. So I'm more like
- 58:58Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna get their base things down.
- 59:01Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch you know, their tendencies they're down, that
- 59:03Speaker 2: type of thing. But when I overanalyze it, it's like
- 59:06Speaker 2: I'm thinking way too much.
- 59:07Speaker 4: Yeah, that type of thing.
- 59:08Speaker 3: But you can see in the film, I just like
- 59:11Speaker 3: talking about the process, so like, Okay, this corner maybe
- 59:14Speaker 3: is a little bit slow on the break.
- 59:15Speaker 4: I mean you pick up things like okay.
- 59:17Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that those type of things. But yeah, like
- 59:20Speaker 2: over analyzing it, it just makes me think way too much
- 59:23Speaker 2: because it was I like to play fast and get
- 59:28Speaker 2: the ball?
- 59:28Speaker 3: How far in your progression? Like normally, what what are
- 59:32Speaker 3: your options in a progression?
- 59:34Speaker 4: Two? Three?
- 59:35Speaker 2: It's more like go off a coverage okay, so yeah,
- 59:41Speaker 2: like you know, safety is like everything, So coverage, Okay,
- 59:43Speaker 2: if you get this coverage, post that boom, go here
- 59:46Speaker 2: to hear.
- 59:46Speaker 4: Okay.
- 59:46Speaker 2: How I like to think of it as like how
- 59:48Speaker 2: it works in my head, it's okay, get the coverage here,
- 59:51Speaker 2: they stay in this, I'm going here to hear to run,
- 59:54Speaker 2: or if they go here like spind you know safeties,
- 59:58Speaker 2: I'm larning there and then check down on the run.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: So that type of thing is.
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: It even more and so you gotta be obviously you
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: got to have your head up. You know, you're looking downfield.
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: Does that does that get affected when you know that
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: the defense has a really good edge.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: Guy at that point, it's more like, I mean, I'm
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: gonna trust in the guys to get the job done
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: in the upfront. Okay, I can't really necessarily worry about
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, if you can you have a good edge,
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: you're gonna have to you know, probably this week you're
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: gonna probably have to step up a couple of times
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: like pressure. But yeah, it's almost you know, just worry
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: about you know what. You know, you're one eleventh on
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: the on the field.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, three guys before the games brought was

- 1:03:02Speaker 1: Just keep yourself? You were running and he hurt himself.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: What are you doing? Scotty?
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: Respect the grind man.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: Thank you. Some guys want to be hard, other guys don't.
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: That's fine, Scottie. What about the what about the salt thing,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: the depth perception salt chamber that you got down there
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: in the cry all the what is float float tank that.
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: I've been using that lately, And yeah, it's it's game
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: change the tricks, so apparently from what I heard.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: So actually I have one.
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: Of the rings. So what of these like rings like yeah,
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: and tell you like your stresslves and stuff, and I'm
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: in there. I'll go from like stressed and it'll drop
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: down to restored, which means like it like takes away
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: all the stuff. But you go down there and when
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: you fall asleep, it's equal to like I think maybe
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: forty five minutes an hours equal to like five hours
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: of sleep.
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: Is Yeah, when we.
- 1:04:01Speaker 5: Get over there after one of those games, I have
- 1:04:03Speaker 5: a lot of red on my ring after a game.
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: When he does a basketball game, you should see his
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: crazy rings.
- 1:04:07Speaker 5: Straightress, straight thread maybe head over there after the.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: Game, Mike, Joe, let you in there.
- 1:04:12Speaker 5: Yeah, that'd begod.
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: We got to look at on business hours, he'd like to,
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: of course. Yeah.
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: Numbers, yeah, first, well, the first the two biggest, I
- 1:04:19Speaker 5: think you already said there the two games with three
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: hundred plus passing yards. Pretty incredible. Three oh one against TCU,
- 1:04:25Speaker 5: three fifty three against Arizona State. Two touchdown passes in
- 1:04:28Speaker 5: each of those games. Scott, this really ramped up fast.
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: You had eight pass attempts in your first three games.
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: Then you start to take over. Here, here come the rains,
- 1:04:35Speaker 5: hand it over to you. You go, one hundred and
- 1:04:37Speaker 5: sixty two pass attempts over the next six went to
- 1:04:40Speaker 5: twenty seven pass attempts per game. Heck of a jump there.
- 1:04:43Speaker 5: Once you took over and said, all right, this is
- 1:04:45Speaker 5: this is my team.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 1:04:46Speaker 5: Here's some here's a couple that jumped out. Hope you
- 1:04:48Speaker 5: ready for this? You like this, said, Let's talk adjusted
- 1:04:52Speaker 5: completion percentage. This is defined by PFF as the percentage
- 1:04:57Speaker 5: of aimed passes thrown on target, so completions plus drops.
- 1:05:02Speaker 5: So the quarterback gets credit for drops, right, even though
- 1:05:05Speaker 5: it wasn't a completed pass, divided by your number of
- 1:05:08Speaker 5: aimed passes. Scotty last year was a sixty eight point
- 1:05:11Speaker 5: five adjusted completion percentage, just like that, near seventy percent.
- 1:05:15Speaker 5: To put that in context, Garrett Green's really good twenty
- 1:05:19Speaker 5: twenty three season. How often have we talked about Garrett's
- 1:05:21Speaker 5: great stats? Out of twenty twenty three, that's when he
- 1:05:24Speaker 5: had sixteen touchdown passes, four interceptions, had a sixty three
- 1:05:28Speaker 5: percent adjusted completion percentage. So Garrett had an unbelievable year
- 1:05:32Speaker 5: that year with still five percentage points where you were
- 1:05:34Speaker 5: last year adjusted completion percentage. How about another one? Will
- 1:05:38Speaker 5: Greer remember Will Greer heard of them? We can throw
- 1:05:40Speaker 5: it a little bit. This would have been his junior
- 1:05:43Speaker 5: season twenty seventeen. Thirty four touchdown passes, twelve interceptions, had
- 1:05:47Speaker 5: a seventy four percent adjusted completion percentage, not much higher
- 1:05:50Speaker 5: than what Scotty was last year. If you're trying to
- 1:05:52Speaker 5: look at a number that kind of points down the
- 1:05:55Speaker 5: road of Scotty's capability a really good adjusted completion percentage,
- 1:06:00Speaker 5: here's a number one. Another one. Your deep ball was
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: really good last year, throws of twenty yards or more.
- 1:06:06Speaker 5: You had eight big time throws and zero turnover worthy plays.
- 1:06:11Speaker 5: So pro football focus. We haven't talked about this in
- 1:06:13Speaker 5: a while. Big time throws are just what it sounds like.
- 1:06:17Speaker 5: Big time throws may have turned into a touchdown, may
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: not have turnover worthy throws, may have been in a pick.
- 1:06:22Speaker 5: Maybe it wasn't, but maybe should have been eight zero
- 1:06:25Speaker 5: on the long ball. Pretty comfortable deep last year. Huh
- 1:06:28Speaker 5: for your freshman season, little bit. Yeah, you didn't know that.
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: You're not a stack guy. You don't look at any
- 1:06:32Speaker 5: of that stack.
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: I didn't even know any of this. I was going
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: to ask you what he said before.
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: You just go play like you ever look at even
- 1:06:38Speaker 5: completion percentage or anything.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: No, you just go pleasure.
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, really, what does it do besides to
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: make you think too much? You know?
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: I mean his job is to win, win the game.
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, don't yell at me.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: I just was asking. I think it's uh.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: I think it's interesting because a lot of people like
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: a basketball guy.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: We should get honor back in here. Honor knows always done.
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: It's but you should most guys, most athletes know their status.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: No, I don't. I disagreat. I disagree. I'd say about
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: half really i'd say about Brad when you agree about half.
- 1:07:10Speaker 5: Care has I think it depends sport and what we're
- 1:07:13Speaker 5: talking about. I think most basketball players know their scoring average.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm but I.
- 1:07:18Speaker 5: Guess adjust a completion percentage. I'm not sure a lot
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: of guys doesn't know that, Like like we are, he
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: had never heard, right, Yeah, those are some really good numbers.
- 1:07:26Speaker 5: That points again, is what what do we always say
- 1:07:28Speaker 5: when you're a true freshman and put up some numbers?
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: Got a chance? Yes, got a chance.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Our philosophy here is if you do it when you're young,
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: you're going to be a good player. As simple as
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: that and as stupid as that sounds. Like if if
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: you just kind of like middle around and you're not
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: special when you're young, you're just a guy. But if
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: you come in and you make plays and you do
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: things like you did your first year, like the dude's
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: going to be a dude, it doesn't. You don't regress,
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: you you just continue to climb. Appreciate that. Yeah, did
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: you go to the prom last year? I did? After
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: you enrolled here, you went back to the prom? How'd
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: that work?
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: That was fun? Seeing all the seeing all the boys again,
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: it's so weird. It was like coming back and I'm like, jeez,
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: these guys are like you're really in high school still.
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah that's what I figured. Yeah, definitely, because
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: I was over at Phil's and one of your new
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: teammates went in to get a to get a suit
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: or a tux because he was going back for his prom.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: And I was thinking like, yeah, those kids go back,
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: because like that would be really super weird because even
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: though you're gone for like four months, like you come back.
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: It's just like Scott, he's all grown up. He plays
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: with men now, and we were just sitting there. We're dumb.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: We're in high school, you know what I mean. It's
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: got a whole different world. Yeah, it was.
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: It was crazy. It was it was fun. It was
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: uh seeing all the guys coming back. But it was
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: like came back and it was like I went on
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: a because we to go our graduation. We all were
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: like the you know, the yellow, big yellow school bus.
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm back on this. I'm like I'm
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: in college.
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: I'm like with all my scottis too down to be quiet.
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: We're gonna So you were a semester and then when
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: you went back to graduate.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: They they moved you guys to a different location to graduate. Yeah,
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: like we can put you on a yellow bus.
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: Yeah, the yellows.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: And you had the memory when you thought while you
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: were on the bus, like, I hope none of my
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: teammates see me. I'm like, I'm in college. That's a
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: good way.
- 1:09:33Speaker 4: Get in trouble. Have to go to study hall.
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: Yeah. So do you go anywhere this summer? Will you
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: get any vacation?
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to here in the next week. I'm
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: gonna go my family's, well, my mom's cousins. They have
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: a house down in Arizona. They know they're not using
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: right now, So just go there for about a week's
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: the That's cool. Yeah, So that's that's about it. I'll
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: probably just go home then after that for the next
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: three weeks.
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: Spring summer comes a little late in Mentor, Ohio.
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a lot more greener here.
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: It's almost heaven. Yeah, there you go, right, I mean
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: it's it's almost heaven. Singing country roads after games, after
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: the pit game, I would imagine that's an all time
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: one you'll never forget. Oh right, I mean that's that
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: that Oh my gosh, yeah, that was a special when
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: that when there's that, when you have those kind of
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: winds and the way that it happened and then the rival.
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: I mean that those are just like tattoos. They don't
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: go away. They're just like those are great feelings.
- 1:10:31Speaker 4: Speaking of which, you have any ink? You got any ink?
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: Ink?
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: Tattooso oh no, I mean and my dad were thinking
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: about it when I go back.
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: Oh really Yeah, wait a second. You won't eat die,
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: but you'll put die on your skin.
- 1:10:42Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: I know that's the thing. I know there's like stuff
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: behind it, like literal in life. It can mess up
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: your blood. But I mean if it's with my dad,
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: then we're going together.
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: Oh really, what are you thinking about?
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: Got?
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: We're thinking more like just like our last name probably
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: something we're still trying to figure out where, but like
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: just like fox and then have like some my dad
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: wanted to have like my birthday, my mom's birthday, and
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: my little brother's birthday. I'm trying to think to do
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: the same thing, but I just don't know where to
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: put it. I feel like I'm not a tattoo guy.
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: What will your grandfather say about your dad and you
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: get in the tattoos.
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I think he'd like it.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: He would be.
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: Actually, what's funny is I'm technically like the third Scott
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: Scottie he is too, he is, but he has a
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: different middle name than my dad. So yeah, so could
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: have been the third technically.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: But you ever get stung by any of the bees
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: when you went over to visit? Oh yeah you did?
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: Yeah, not good? How many? Like how much bee? How
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: much honey? Does he produce it?
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: He got a lot of them? He well, this is
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: my this is my mom's god. So but yeah, he'll
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: I don't know the seasons of it, but yeah, so
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: sometimes he'll have us go out there like we're got
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: the whole.
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: Thing with mask.
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes you fly in. Yeah that's happened before it.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Does anybody want to do that?
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: I'll get it.
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: Does he make it to sell it or make it
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: to give it away?
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: No, he always he did as a hobby from what
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: he says. Right, but he'll like he'll like sell it
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: but very like cheap just to yeah just yeah, yeah,
