  Speaker 2: On the offensive front, would you rather if you could

• 2:38
  Speaker 3: a team, and just become better. Man.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: If you were looking down your schedule now, Coach Cooper,
• 2:44

  Speaker 2: and even some guys at Pearl Oak Grove has kind
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: of become you know, a well it hasn't always been,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: but it's become more of a of an emphasis, a
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: bigger matchup, you know, the Warriors. And of course for

  Speaker 2: And I've asked this question for several years now to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: guys everywhere. Do you know what was right here? And
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I cannot remember the young man's name. It was either
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: last year, two years ago, y'all had a teammate and
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: he said he responded with, I don't eat pregame mealszy
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and yeah, And the coaches were listening. They didn't even
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: know he didn't even eat pregame meals. So yeah, he
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: literally didn't. I've never heard of a young man that
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: wouldn't eat eat a pregame meal. He is Jade Ranson.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: He's an offensive line. But we're gonna switch gears real quick.

  Speaker 2: in Floywood. This is this is it, man. It has
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it set in yet.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Oh it's starting to hit a little bit. Man, it
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: hits a little bit. I've been growing up here I
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: really enjoyed the environment. You know, everybody tries to stay
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: positive around here, and it's overall community to be in.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: No, it is, it is. It's crazy how and you've
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: probably seen it just you know, you're you know, seventeen
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: eighteen years of living here. I mean, Floywood has grown
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: so much. You guys have done some big things on
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the football field. You've had some moments, some big moments,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: had some missed moments. What's the final ride? What do
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: you want to look like for you?
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Honestly, I want to take this as far as we
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: can because I know we got the guys that do it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Everybody may doubt us, but in my heart, I believe
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: we can do it. We just got to keep working
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: towards it and just keep our head in the straight
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: line and make it happen.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So outside linebacker, I heard Rod talking to you about that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: You know, when you say outside linebacker today, that's not
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: old school. You know, old school you had your Mike
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: middle guy, and you had your two outside Sam and Will,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and a lot of times those guys were run pluggers. Obviously,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you can stop the run. You like a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: very physical young man, but that is kind of a hybrid, right.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to be able to do a
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: lot of things. I'm sure Russ the passer when they
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: call upon it, you know, covered tidy end, covered backs.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Talk a little bit about, you know, kind of the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: flexibility of playing that spot.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Well, so I played will so we're more of the
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: run stop rather than the sam. It's more of like
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: a nickel guy. You just got to be ready to
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: get down on that line or be able to drop
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: in the coverage at any time. But it's a very
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: physical position and you just got to be ready for
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: anything that comes towards you.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: How has you know, and again always say, I can't
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: call it fall camp. It's not fall There's nothing fault
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: about weather. Right, since all hot, how has your summer
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: slash fall camp been so far?
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: It's been very high, very hoigh. You know me and
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I hear these long days, but I know it's gonna
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: be worth it. So just keep putting the work in,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: working hard as I can.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And if you were looking down that schedule, who's the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: one team that you're gonna circle? Coach is gonna say
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the next game, but you're looking at going that team? Uh,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: for me has to be Germantown, really Germantown now that
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: they come, is that the first or second game?
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: That's the first game, first game going to their house.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Going over there that this year. And the last question,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: if you're fixing the pregamemeil, what are you fixing?
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Honestly, I really like mac and cheese and some barbecue.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: That sound good.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: That might sound crazy, but we've had it and it's
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: the most of like really, yes, their favorite favorite college,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Missippi State.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Very good. And then what about NFL team? I'm a
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Cowboys fan. I got two Cowboys in here with me.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: That's also, Hey, I have nothing against the Cowboys. We
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: really like to pick because they haven't been to the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: playoffs in a lot of time. They may make it
