- 3:08Speaker 4: So the right Connor Stallions, he's on his he's on
- 3:12Speaker 4: a flight here right now.
- 3:14Speaker 3: As we are as we're speaking. And the guy you
- 3:16Speaker 3: know where he was yesterday, Seattle, Washington. Yeah, because he
- 3:20Speaker 3: went to the Michigan game. Of course, the flying to
- 3:22Speaker 3: Chicago was going to drive back up to Michigan, but
- 3:24Speaker 3: instead is making a quick pit stop in Nashville, Tennessee,
- 3:27Speaker 3: and he's going to fly back to Chicago to day
- 3:29Speaker 3: to drive back to and.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Uh, I don't know if it's an opera, but Michigan.
- 3:32Speaker 1: The guy's a stud.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Dude, he's he's he's a one of a kind. And
- 3:37Speaker 4: I am so excited. I think this is his first
- 3:39Speaker 4: like long form interview since everything.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, and here are the boys? Do we want
- 3:44Speaker 3: to tell him? A couple of ball players, A couple
- 3:46Speaker 3: of ball players, guys some sign Steelers on the field.
- 3:50Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, did you watch documentary? I did. I just
- 3:52Speaker 4: saw clips. So in the document he did whatever he
- 3:57Speaker 4: could for his for his university, which you got to respect.
- 4:01Speaker 3: I'll let him speak on that. I'll absolutely let him
- 4:03Speaker 3: speak on that however he wants to word it. There
- 4:05Speaker 3: is a part in the documentary with the student named
- 4:06Speaker 3: Brohio is like another super fan of Ohio State, and
- 4:11Speaker 3: he's like being interviewed with a mask on and glasses
- 4:14Speaker 3: and a hat and he's basically was one of the
- 4:16Speaker 3: guys that was like infiltrating Michigan and finding all the
- 4:18Speaker 3: articles and all the things to help take down Michigan
- 4:20Speaker 3: during the stuff, and you can just tell bro as
- 4:23Speaker 3: salty as fuck about how much Connor got exposure. Is
- 4:28Speaker 3: like this guy all he cares about his attention, all
- 4:29Speaker 3: he cares about this. There's another guy, Tony something from
- 4:32Speaker 3: Detroit Free Press. Tony I don't know, but I looked
- 4:35Speaker 3: him up after I watched the show, and the guy's
- 4:38Speaker 3: like a very negative anti anti Michigan during the documentary.
- 4:42Speaker 3: Guy graduated from Michigan State. So there's like you can
- 4:45Speaker 3: just it's just different. It's just different than Big ten Man.
- 4:48Speaker 1: That's not him. That's not him.
- 4:49Speaker 4: He's not somebody like to me, the cat who said
- 4:51Speaker 4: it was his name, Brohio, Brohio. He's just doing it
- 4:54Speaker 4: for attention, like it's It's not like Connor Stallion started
- 4:57Speaker 4: this whole thing, the manifesto, and thought the end game
- 5:00Speaker 4: was getting Netflix documentary, right, the endgame was a national championship. Yeah,
- 5:05Speaker 4: he wont he wanted to win.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Right, And it's incredible to I mean, we'll obviously dive
- 5:10Speaker 3: more into it with him, but at some point in
- 5:12Speaker 3: that documentary, he's talking about how Michigan is about to
- 5:15Speaker 3: get all these sanctions put on him, and he basically
- 5:18Speaker 3: was like, I don't want anything to happen to Michigan.
- 5:20Speaker 3: So he essentially told his lawyer like, tell him it
- 5:24Speaker 3: was all me.
- 5:24Speaker 4: Tell him I did.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Everything in a true marine fashion.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I can't wait. I want to learn about
- 5:31Speaker 4: the details of the manifesto, how it grew over time. Like,
- 5:35Speaker 4: I mean, the dude is a he's a wizard. He's
- 5:38Speaker 4: a wizard on the scouting reports, and they've got to
- 5:40Speaker 4: memorize a lot of shit. I want to know all
- 5:42Speaker 4: of it.
- 5:42Speaker 3: And there is apparently some underground sign stealer group where
- 5:48Speaker 3: more teams than not actually have this going on.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:52Speaker 4: Ultimately, Connor Stallions is like the Lance Armstrong of science stealing. Yeah,
- 5:55Speaker 4: it's like you.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Get popped, you get caught all this stuff.
- 5:57Speaker 4: And then you learn later on that everybody tries to
- 6:00Speaker 4: do it. I mean, every team tries. Everybody is trying
- 6:02Speaker 4: to get a manage possible to win.
- 6:03Speaker 3: And so it's really it's it's such an interesting interviewer
- 6:06Speaker 3: we're about to have because there's literally a pending investigation
- 6:09Speaker 3: going on right now. So for him to be able
- 6:11Speaker 3: to sit down with us and give us the information,
- 6:13Speaker 3: he is like it's.
- 6:14Speaker 4: Wild and so we'll just boys.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Yeah, he is the boy the boys, and I got
- 6:18Speaker 3: I got on the phone with him because we for
- 6:20Speaker 3: those of you that don't know, we're doing Busting with
- 6:23Speaker 3: the Boys a little bit differently this year. We're starting
- 6:24Speaker 3: we're keeping guests throughout the year as opposed to doing zooms.
- 6:28Speaker 3: So October eighth was one of those kind of glad
- 6:30Speaker 3: we don't have a guest here.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Literally, was it.
- 6:32Speaker 4: Friday when I text you? On Saturday?
- 6:34Speaker 1: Yeah, Friday, I text you.
- 6:35Speaker 3: I was like, hey, I'm gonna try to get Connor.
- 6:37Speaker 3: I got on the phone with him and I was like, hey,
- 6:38Speaker 3: I know this whole stuff's going on, but like.
- 6:41Speaker 4: How can we get you to Nationville moment right?
- 6:43Speaker 3: And He's like, yeah, I'll come for sure. I was like, well,
- 6:45Speaker 3: you gotta make sure my lawyers get with it. I
- 6:46Speaker 3: was like, just tell your lawyer, tell us what what
- 6:48Speaker 3: not to talk about. That conversation with his lawyer still
- 6:51Speaker 3: has not happened. He's still coming no matter what because
- 6:53Speaker 3: he's for the boys, dude, he really is. And it's
- 6:56Speaker 3: interesting he said he d m me a photo. I
- 6:59Speaker 3: don't know, like few months ago of when I was
- 7:01Speaker 3: at Michigan and he and it's a photo of me
- 7:04Speaker 3: and him, and he's wearing like a Michigan flag, like
- 7:06Speaker 3: one of those crazy Michigan fan things. This is when
- 7:08Speaker 3: he was like fifteen, sixteen years old. He came out
- 7:11Speaker 3: of the womb, ready to be a mission ready ready.
- 7:13Speaker 3: And if you see, like literally for Halloween one year,
- 7:16Speaker 3: he was a Michigan coach. That's that's like he is
- 7:19Speaker 3: one hundred.
- 7:21Speaker 4: Was this one hardball? Assuming he was doing Halloween still
- 7:24Speaker 4: like dressing up as a Michigan coach like in his twenties.
- 7:27Speaker 4: However old he.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Is maybe maybe no kids just dressed up he is.
- 7:32Speaker 3: I think he was born in ninety five, so he's
- 7:34Speaker 3: four years younger than me.
- 7:35Speaker 1: He's twenty nine, okay, twenty nine to bad.
- 7:38Speaker 4: He couldn't help the boys out on Saturday. I know,
- 7:41Speaker 4: I tell you, I tell you what I just I
- 7:48Speaker 4: look around the bus. Everybody's team kind of lost, Like, yeah, Mitch,
- 7:51Speaker 4: I guess he's an Ohio State fan. Sure, he's where'd
- 7:55Speaker 4: you go on the weekend? One in five and five,
- 7:58Speaker 4: two and five? Apparently he's claiming the Texas Longhorns. Now
- 8:02Speaker 4: he's like my wife went there, so it's crazy. He's
- 8:06Speaker 4: hooked him. He's hook them all day.
- 8:08Speaker 1: I don't know what.
- 8:09Speaker 4: How are you a fan of I love their jerseys.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't give you West Virginia bro.
- 8:15Speaker 4: I was watching them when Pat White was there. Everybody watch.
- 8:24Speaker 1: You played the video game? Oh yeah all the time.
- 8:28Speaker 4: So I consider myself Pat McAfee, Oh yeah, Pat mc
- 8:31Speaker 4: all West Virginia fans apparently Smith but go ahead, will
- 8:37Speaker 4: talk about how we're all losers and you're not. I know,
- 8:39Speaker 4: I know Nebraska did win, and I'm excited about that.
- 8:42Speaker 4: I did hate seeing everybody's team lose. It's kind of
- 8:45Speaker 4: like a weird. I'm used to feeling like the loser
- 8:48Speaker 4: of the entire group, and it's like I'm the yeah, yeah,
- 8:50Speaker 4: JP is well. I didn't want to just throw a
- 8:52Speaker 4: random straight at you like South Carolina has been. They've
- 8:55Speaker 4: been in the dumps for a while as well.
- 8:56Speaker 1: But yeah, it does.
- 8:58Speaker 4: It feels good to unset and undefeated Rutgers team. We
- 9:01Speaker 4: played our worst football not defense. Defense played incredible, but
- 9:05Speaker 4: we had two blocked punts, which two block punts can't
- 9:11Speaker 4: have that number one, but we had two block punts.
- 9:13Speaker 4: It was it was Raila's probably worst game of his
- 9:16Speaker 4: season so far, and the boys the Black Shirt showed
- 9:19Speaker 4: up in incredible fashion. We did we we eked out
- 9:22Speaker 4: or win. I hated that rule didn't try to at
- 9:25Speaker 4: least drive they were an enemy territory and at least
- 9:27Speaker 4: get a field goal to cover. It was ultimately a
- 9:29Speaker 4: push because I got him at minus seven. I know
- 9:31Speaker 4: some people got him a minus six and a half.
- 9:33Speaker 4: Should have paid for that little what do they called
- 9:35Speaker 4: a hook? Should have paid, should have pay for the hook.
- 9:38Speaker 4: But yeah, it does. It feels good. It feels good
- 9:40Speaker 4: to be a winner, the sole winner on the bus.
- 9:42Speaker 4: I you know, I hate, I hated for everybody else
- 9:47Speaker 4: and to lose in the fashion like I mean, Vanderbilt,
- 9:49Speaker 4: we're talking what Music City miracle two point zero? That
- 9:53Speaker 4: was insane that Vandy. Should we start there, Vandy upsetting
- 9:57Speaker 4: Alabama because getting we're on a bye week. We're back
- 10:01Speaker 4: where we're four to one, five and one, we're on
- 10:03Speaker 4: a bye week. We go to Indiana. That's gonna be
- 10:05Speaker 4: a very tough game for us because Indiana is a
- 10:07Speaker 4: good team. But we have a bye this week. But
- 10:10Speaker 4: if I can start deflecting and get it off of myself,
- 10:13Speaker 4: the spotlight off of myself and we can talk about
- 10:16Speaker 4: this young man right here with Pavia. Yeah, they kid
- 10:20Speaker 4: of him.
- 10:20Speaker 3: I believe New Mexico State last year and just this
- 10:24Speaker 3: guy is every bit of a psycho. And I mean
- 10:27Speaker 3: that in the best way possible.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Literally, there was a news article that came out where
- 10:30Speaker 3: they were playing one of their rivals at New Mexico State,
- 10:33Speaker 3: might be New Mexico. Who knows that's I don't follow them,
- 10:36Speaker 3: but apparently in the middle of the night on an
- 10:38Speaker 3: away game, went to their fifty yard line and pissed
- 10:41Speaker 3: on their field Like this, that's the that's the kind
- 10:43Speaker 3: of operation this kid's dealing with. Like he this kid,
- 10:47Speaker 3: and I'm not taking a shot, Like he's not an
- 10:49Speaker 3: NFL guy right, Like he's We're not looking at him
- 10:51Speaker 3: as like a first round pick type of guy. Just
- 10:53Speaker 3: a true official, true college legend.
- 10:56Speaker 4: Yeah, just a football player who saw Alabama and there's
- 11:00Speaker 4: no fear in his mind. He no fear like he
- 11:03Speaker 4: was gonna go out there.
- 11:03Speaker 3: There's a couple of plays in that game where he
- 11:05Speaker 3: goes runs the sideline three or four yard game, gets
- 11:08Speaker 3: hit out out of bounds, slips and falls, gets up
- 11:10Speaker 3: he's running the DB's face losing his fucking mind about it. Now,
- 11:15Speaker 3: he's not like a throw it down the field type
- 11:17Speaker 3: of guy. Who is the head coach FORANDI. Well, it
- 11:21Speaker 3: doesn't matter whoever the OC is. The creativity they have
- 11:25Speaker 3: on offense is incredible. There's one play in particularly they
- 11:29Speaker 3: clerk Lee. Shout out clerk Lee because they had early
- 11:32Speaker 3: in the game they did a your classic option pitch
- 11:35Speaker 3: play and they caught the edge and they end up
- 11:37Speaker 3: getting a bigger gain on that, which is like twelve
- 11:39Speaker 3: fifteen yards later in the game when it counted the most.
- 11:42Speaker 3: I believe it was the end of the third quarter.
- 11:44Speaker 4: They're in like.
- 11:45Speaker 3: They're trying to obviously take all the clock they possibly can.
- 11:48Speaker 3: They go when they showed the same option, but they
- 11:50Speaker 3: turn into a shovel pass, so you have the whole
- 11:53Speaker 3: defense going east and west, and as he's about to
- 11:55Speaker 3: pitch it, throws it the other way. Kid takes it
- 11:58Speaker 3: and has an explosive play there.
- 11:59Speaker 1: So they're used.
- 12:00Speaker 3: They're utilizing this kid's creativity because you saw it against
- 12:04Speaker 3: Virginia Tech. When they're the game is really on the line,
- 12:06Speaker 3: he's like running.
- 12:07Speaker 1: And he just yeah, just do it. He's running there
- 12:11Speaker 1: or just throwing dishing it.
- 12:12Speaker 4: Off the track.
- 12:12Speaker 3: And these Vanderbilt boys, man, these band of fucking misfits,
- 12:19Speaker 3: these outliers in the SEC where Nick Saban has gone
- 12:22Speaker 3: on a record. Everywhere in the SEC is hard to
- 12:24Speaker 3: play it except for Vanderbilt. Just drug through the mud
- 12:27Speaker 3: twenty four to seven, treated like shit, and they're in
- 12:30Speaker 3: an amazing city where they don't have a whole lot
- 12:32Speaker 3: of recruits. They have guys that just decide, Hey, I'm
- 12:34Speaker 3: not good enough here, so I'm gonna go to Vanderbilt.
- 12:36Speaker 3: And I'm smart enough to go to Vanderbilt.
- 12:39Speaker 1: These fucking kids just unseated.
- 12:42Speaker 3: The one seed and I'm I'm I'm. I keep catching
- 12:45Speaker 3: eyes with g and geez Are geez are Alabama, and
- 12:48Speaker 3: I in no way am I trying to take away
- 12:51Speaker 3: from you or any of this, because we've done that
- 12:53Speaker 3: last year and I'm not trying to do that. I'm
- 12:55Speaker 3: just like, I feel I'm excited for Vanderbilt. Man, Like
- 12:58Speaker 3: they just did a historical that they've never done at
- 13:01Speaker 3: that school. It will be etched, they told us in June.
- 13:04Speaker 3: We did a dude cannon promotion with them, and they're like,
- 13:07Speaker 3: bro they're sleeping on us.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking they were, like that's what they all say.
- 13:10Speaker 1: A kid.
- 13:11Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, boy, the world year.
- 13:14Speaker 3: Yes, you had these white offensive linemen and they are
- 13:17Speaker 3: talking way different. I'm like, you don't need to talk
- 13:20Speaker 3: like that. I'm thinking to myself, these dudes are out
- 13:22Speaker 3: of their fucking minds. But they pulled it off, man,
- 13:25Speaker 3: and they pulled it off and started with Virginia Tech yea.
- 13:27Speaker 3: And now they've they got three wins. They've already beat
- 13:29Speaker 3: their win total that Vegas said for the year.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:32Speaker 4: First time in school history, program history, defeating the one seed.
- 13:37Speaker 4: First time they've beat Alabama since September of nineteen eighty four,
- 13:40Speaker 4: and that was in Tuscaloosa. When's the last time they
- 13:43Speaker 4: beat Alabama at home? Like the twenties nineteen just before
- 13:48Speaker 4: the depression.
- 13:49Speaker 1: That game was filmed in black and white, the last time.
- 13:52Speaker 4: That is one of the biggest upsets in college football history.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Yeah, so I guess maybe the big is that the
- 14:00Speaker 4: Vegast It's probably mich was Michigan one, though I don't
- 14:04Speaker 4: know if Michigan were like ten though we were ten.
- 14:06Speaker 3: They were a one double a school, right, But kind
- 14:09Speaker 3: of has a little resume of doing that to people. Yeah, yeah,
- 14:13Speaker 3: they're solid and I think they are d one now,
- 14:15Speaker 3: but still like and to go even more like shitting
- 14:19Speaker 3: on Michigan, Like, Vanderbilt is still in the SEC, it's
- 14:22Speaker 3: still a conference game. They still play these teams every
- 14:24Speaker 3: single year.
- 14:25Speaker 4: It's just it's just wild man.
- 14:27Speaker 3: The question I have for the chat is who is
- 14:30Speaker 3: a more famous Vanderbilt quarterback, Pavia or.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Jay Cutler At this point, I Pavi, you.
- 14:36Speaker 4: Might have to go Pavia.
- 14:37Speaker 1: This kid might have a fucking statue.
- 14:39Speaker 3: It might be made out of you know, foam, but
- 14:42Speaker 3: for good, I don't know what what Vanderbilt's budget.
- 14:44Speaker 4: Looks like some money.
- 14:45Speaker 1: They got some money, They got some money.
- 14:47Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, bro, this kid might be the
- 14:50Speaker 3: most famous player ever in Vanderbilt history.
- 14:53Speaker 4: At this point, Jay Cutler will have like the more
- 14:55Speaker 4: decorated career because obviously he's the first round pick NFL
- 14:57Speaker 4: and everything else. But as far as like etched in
- 14:59Speaker 4: stone forever, Pavia is going to be the guy. The
- 15:03Speaker 4: guy because they're gonna be you know, they're gonna build
- 15:05Speaker 4: their recruiting around that. It's like something that's like yo,
- 15:08Speaker 4: what was it like the night where two goal posts
- 15:12Speaker 4: marched down through Broadway multiple miles into the river, right
- 15:16Speaker 4: like Jack, Tennessee, when you all beat Alabama and you
- 15:20Speaker 4: guys did you guys started the goalpost thing?
- 15:22Speaker 3: How far is the goalpost from Neeland Stadium to the river?
- 15:26Speaker 5: It's right next door, right next door. But we took
- 15:28Speaker 5: it to the strip, which is about a mile and
- 15:30Speaker 5: a half.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Okay, so there's a lot of effort both ways.
- 15:32Speaker 5: The fact that they took it from Vanderbilt Station to
- 15:35Speaker 5: the Cumberland I think it's like three point one miles
- 15:38Speaker 5: and then they broke through the police barricade on Broadway.
- 15:41Speaker 5: That that shows grit you think of anythink nerds. Unfortunately,
- 15:48Speaker 5: that's just the case. Those kids changed the narrative this weekend.
- 15:51Speaker 5: They might be nerds, but they got fucking heart.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Yeah, they got grit. They're gritty nerds. They have maybe
- 15:56Speaker 3: the most dangerous kind of human. They have a core
- 15:58Speaker 3: memory forever. Look at this kid on the goalpost. That's
- 16:02Speaker 3: your profile picture of the rest of your life.
- 16:04Speaker 1: You see that in the far right. Yeah, Tennessee.
- 16:09Speaker 5: He's like, fuck yeah, Bama laws, We're still undefeated. And
- 16:13Speaker 5: then he went to Broadway and got his heartbroken.
- 16:15Speaker 4: God and also shout out the city too for even
- 16:18Speaker 4: though they went through the cop bear and everything else,
- 16:20Speaker 4: like you know, the police just like, hey, there's the
- 16:23Speaker 4: greatest moment this university has ever seen. Let him take
- 16:28Speaker 4: it there. And then I want to say I was
- 16:29Speaker 4: listening to Josh Paige shout out the boy, but he
- 16:33Speaker 4: was saying how he when he was coming back, he
- 16:35Speaker 4: saw like a rescue mission to get the goalposts out
- 16:38Speaker 4: of the water, like you know, in the middle of
- 16:40Speaker 4: the night.
- 16:40Speaker 5: Obviously there's a lot of boat goes through there, so
- 16:45Speaker 5: that goal post, it was floating for a good sec
- 16:48Speaker 5: If that catches someone's prop, like it's gonna break your Yeah,
- 16:51Speaker 5: that boat.
- 16:51Speaker 3: They're literally sinking ships, a little many Titanics everywhere throughout
- 16:54Speaker 3: the Cumblden River.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Just uh.
- 16:56Speaker 4: That's one piece of the insane weekend that college football had.
- 17:00Speaker 4: Alabama lost, Tennessee loss to Arkansas, Michigan lost, USC lost,
- 17:06Speaker 4: Miszoo got called by the way by a and m
- 17:11Speaker 4: Rutgers undefeated lost. I will I'll say this, dude.
- 17:16Speaker 3: When I was when we were doing the locker room
- 17:17Speaker 3: and I was looking through all the slate of college football. Yeah,
- 17:20Speaker 3: I kind of thought to myself, this is like maybe
- 17:21Speaker 3: the most boring week of college football.
- 17:23Speaker 4: Yeah, I think everybody felt that way.
- 17:25Speaker 3: And it was the best. Fire wasn't the best. Michigan lost,
- 17:29Speaker 3: but like.
- 17:30Speaker 4: That was like Michigan lost, but that was an incredible
- 17:33Speaker 4: game to watch as well.
- 17:34Speaker 3: Not really, Yeah, I know your heart was getting turnover.
- 17:39Speaker 3: We spotted him fourteen early. Listen, it is tough when
- 17:44Speaker 3: you're the tenth ranked team in the country and you
- 17:47Speaker 3: go uh to the Pacific Northwest to play a team
- 17:51Speaker 3: that's unranked and you're underdogs by.
- 17:53Speaker 4: Two and a half points. Now, it seemed like who,
- 17:55Speaker 4: what's a kid? What's the quarterback name?
- 17:57Speaker 1: Tuttle?
- 17:57Speaker 4: Tuttle seemed like he had seemed like he had a
- 18:00Speaker 4: little bit of like he did.
- 18:01Speaker 1: He got well yep.
- 18:03Speaker 3: And the thing is, here's what gives me optimism about
- 18:07Speaker 3: the rest of the season.
- 18:10Speaker 1: With Orgy.
- 18:11Speaker 3: A fantastic athlete, looks like a guy you would create
- 18:14Speaker 3: on NCAA fourteen. Like he's he's got the look, he's
- 18:17Speaker 3: got everything, but like, oh.
- 18:18Speaker 4: We kind of got a mill road.
- 18:19Speaker 3: But he's completely not Yeah, but he's not he's not
- 18:21Speaker 3: pushing the ball down the field. They look at this
- 18:23Speaker 3: tuttal kid right looks like he got into Vanderbilt on
- 18:26Speaker 3: a full ride academic scholarship, no doubt about it. But
- 18:29Speaker 3: he comes in and his numbers weren't like incredible. However,
- 18:33Speaker 3: at one point he was like seven for nine for
- 18:35Speaker 3: like eighty five yards, and it's like, okay, we're able
- 18:38Speaker 3: to throw the ball a little bit where the defense
- 18:40Speaker 3: has to play us.
- 18:41Speaker 4: A little more honest.
- 18:42Speaker 3: You see Donovan Edwards kind of get a spark going you,
- 18:45Speaker 3: So Mullings get a little spark going, lovely what Lovelyn
- 18:49Speaker 3: gets to get. And then listen, he tries to go
- 18:52Speaker 3: up in the pocket in the fourth quarter with six
- 18:54Speaker 3: minutes left in the game, they hit the ball out,
- 18:56Speaker 3: there's a turnover.
- 18:57Speaker 4: He throws a pick later.
- 18:58Speaker 3: Like all those things are very frustrating, and it is
- 19:01Speaker 3: a big reason why we lost the game. But we
- 19:05Speaker 3: have good receivers. We have possibly the greatest tight end
- 19:08Speaker 3: in all of college football right now, and we have
- 19:10Speaker 3: a guy that can for even though he's not the best,
- 19:14Speaker 3: he can get the ball to them, which allows us to.
- 19:18Speaker 4: Strengthen our run game. It just even though our offense
- 19:20Speaker 4: is not that much better, it is better.
- 19:23Speaker 3: You can execute the forward pass a little. We can
- 19:25Speaker 3: execute we can officially turn on forward.
- 19:27Speaker 4: Pass in our offense.
- 19:28Speaker 3: And that's gives me hope. Because the defense not their
- 19:33Speaker 3: best day.
- 19:35Speaker 4: I mean, you've got two first rounders on defense.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Three maybe yeah, I mean that Grant kid, fifty five
- 19:41Speaker 3: Graham and then Will Johnson.
- 19:44Speaker 4: In that linebacker number fifteen, he's a good player.
- 19:46Speaker 3: And then, bro, what I tell you about zero third
- 19:48Speaker 3: and eight, which I know you love. Zero on third
- 19:51Speaker 3: and eight with the game on the line, Will Johnson
- 19:54Speaker 3: gets a DPI and it's just like, there goes. That's
- 19:57Speaker 3: the game, that it's over, it's done. I just I
- 20:02Speaker 3: don't love how much we blitz.
- 20:04Speaker 1: I don't.
- 20:05Speaker 3: I know that's winks thing. That's not Will Johnson. He
- 20:09Speaker 3: plays for the he plays for the Washington Commanders. Now
- 20:13Speaker 3: I don't love how much they blitz. I wish they
- 20:15Speaker 3: would just play their man, play the zone, throwing a
- 20:17Speaker 3: couple blitzer here and there to keep a monastery rush
- 20:19Speaker 3: for you have the talent, You have the talent to
- 20:22Speaker 3: get to the quarterback with four, and you have guys
- 20:24Speaker 3: that can cover all around. Yeah, it's like, I know,
- 20:28Speaker 3: it's tough, it's it's frustrating, but I do. Weirdly, after
- 20:32Speaker 3: that game, I went, okay, like our offense has added
- 20:36Speaker 3: the throwing portion. We're halfway through the year, and now
- 20:39Speaker 3: we can we can throw the ball a little bit.
- 20:41Speaker 3: I don't give a shit if it's checkdowns. Brother, we
- 20:43Speaker 3: can fucking do it now.
- 20:44Speaker 4: You I did watch your video and you're talking about
- 20:47Speaker 4: what was the record going into Ohio State nine to two.
- 20:50Speaker 4: I feel like you're sleeping on some clubs now, I know,
- 20:53Speaker 4: but listen, and I saw your tweet. Let's focus on
- 20:55Speaker 4: one game at a time. I get it. I'm just
- 20:57Speaker 4: trying to help you out. I know, I know Will
- 20:59Speaker 4: and t us me. I'll get there eventually.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Like I know this is to me, this is picture perfect.
- 21:05Speaker 3: I'm up here and you're like, hey, maybe you should
- 21:07Speaker 3: be down here for a little bit.
- 21:07Speaker 1: I might know.
- 21:08Speaker 3: Fuck that, I gotta stay up here. Eventually, I'm going
- 21:10Speaker 3: to end up where you are telling me to be.
- 21:12Speaker 3: But not right now. Yeah, not yet. I'm just saying
- 21:15Speaker 3: I have because Illinois stuff stuff ball club in Michigan State.
- 21:20Speaker 4: Dude, it's not a gimme. I mean, Illinois.
- 21:23Speaker 3: We had Oregon November second, which I might be taking
- 21:25Speaker 3: win too. Yeah, that'll be fun.
- 21:28Speaker 1: What's that? Yeah?
- 21:31Speaker 4: But Michigan State is garbage.
- 21:32Speaker 3: Bro G, you didn't have the mic. He said, Michigan
- 21:34Speaker 3: State look trash against organ. Yeah, Michigan State is fucking garbage.
- 21:38Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, dude, we've got a chance. We've
- 21:43Speaker 3: got a puncher's chance. Well you got a chance.
- 21:46Speaker 4: Who uh? With the way college football kind of ended
- 21:49Speaker 4: up over the weekend, who do we think is the
- 21:51Speaker 4: favorite now in the SEC?
- 21:52Speaker 1: Outside of Texas?
- 21:55Speaker 3: It's hard to say it's not Vandy, right, Vandy's going
- 22:00Speaker 3: big game hunting.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Yeah, dude.
- 22:02Speaker 3: They are African Safari dude, Yeah, cool hats, fifty caliber
- 22:07Speaker 3: rifles and they just took down a big bully.
- 22:11Speaker 6: I think you would think it would be it's still
- 22:15Speaker 6: the same three teams, probably Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee because
- 22:22Speaker 6: it was a brutal loss. But I personally even high
- 22:26Speaker 6: on Arkansas all year. Sam Pittman, he's got it together.
- 22:30Speaker 6: Bobby Petrino is so elite, and I feel like it
- 22:33Speaker 6: was never that big of news that he went back
- 22:35Speaker 6: to Arkansas and he's doing this. I think this is
- 22:38Speaker 6: his first year back with them, and he's already got
- 22:41Speaker 6: them rolling, and it's like, that's a Arkansas next year.
- 22:45Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be a problem.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Are they a young team? I guess yeah, young.
- 22:49Speaker 6: As far as young in their culture because they got it.
- 22:55Speaker 6: They got an athletic quarterback right now. But he makes
- 22:57Speaker 6: so many mistakes. But yeah, Taylor Green, Taylor Green because
- 23:03Speaker 6: he transferred to Yeah. But so I don't think that's
- 23:06Speaker 6: like a horrible loss for Tennessee, And ultimately it's probably
- 23:09Speaker 6: gonna come down to Alabama Tennessee in a couple of weeks,
- 23:14Speaker 6: barring South Carolina somehow takes down a pissed off Alabama
- 23:19Speaker 6: team next weekend.
- 23:20Speaker 4: What happened with South Carolina?
- 23:21Speaker 6: Man similar to Michigan. You we spot him fourteen points
- 23:25Speaker 6: in like three minutes. The crowd was out of it immediately.
- 23:31Speaker 6: The the defense played fine after those fourteen points. We
- 23:35Speaker 6: just gave them a short field so many times.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Dylan Stewart just unloading.
- 23:40Speaker 6: The flip And did you see Jackson darts chirp back? No,
- 23:45Speaker 6: how you fire one hundred rounds and not hit once?
- 23:48Speaker 1: Oh whole lot of shots.
- 23:55Speaker 4: What's up with these kids doing the gun celebrations? D
- 23:58Speaker 4: m V dog But legit though, there there was a
- 24:02Speaker 4: there was another one where I want to say, I
- 24:05Speaker 4: want to say somebody like lifted lifted their shirt up
- 24:07Speaker 4: like they had one, like they had one strapped to him.
- 24:10Speaker 4: Like I don't feel like that was happening. Show your age,
- 24:15Speaker 4: will But.
- 24:15Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm with you.
- 24:17Speaker 6: But I like this year thing because I'm crazy one
- 24:20Speaker 6: of the receivers.
- 24:22Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it did. There was in the NFL.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Yeah, one player did in.
- 24:28Speaker 4: The NFL and he got it was for the Packers.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Yeah, someone got fight. Yeah, no one. Dude was like
- 24:35Speaker 1: on the sideline.
- 24:36Speaker 6: Personally, I loved it. I was because I was watching
- 24:40Speaker 6: it happen and I was standing. I saw him pull
- 24:44Speaker 6: the trigger and I turned around, I saw the flag
- 24:46Speaker 6: and he's o mistandswer behind me.
- 24:47Speaker 1: I said, that was sick though.
- 24:50Speaker 6: I mean he did. Stir did go crazy. Four tackles
- 24:52Speaker 6: for a loss in a sack. So he did his thing.
- 24:55Speaker 6: But the offense, we have no identity which falls on
- 24:59Speaker 6: one person and it's not a player, and it's not
- 25:02Speaker 6: our head coach and it's not our DC. You can
- 25:05Speaker 6: connect the dots.
- 25:06Speaker 1: On who's last coach?
- 25:08Speaker 6: Yeah, over of Weno.
- 25:11Speaker 4: Yeah, another bad OC because it seems like the oct
- 25:17Speaker 4: you guys used to have is doing.
- 25:18Speaker 1: It all right.
- 25:18Speaker 6: And Lincoln they had demoted him.
- 25:20Speaker 4: Oh did they really?
- 25:21Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 25:21Speaker 4: What do you mean? He's not like y'all's O c
- 25:24Speaker 4: Rule calls it right.
- 25:26Speaker 6: I think you'll have another Gadfield is a quarterbacks coach. Yeah,
- 25:30Speaker 6: but he's also like a he's not calling plays.
- 25:34Speaker 1: I think he is.
- 25:36Speaker 6: I'd be willing to put some money on this one.
- 25:38Speaker 4: Look it up.
- 25:39Speaker 6: Actually, the way y'all played the last two weeks on offense, maybe.
- 25:44Speaker 4: No, we just Dylant. He missed a couple of throws,
- 25:47Speaker 4: but he's a rookie. You look, you can't have two
- 25:50Speaker 4: block punks. He do you see Dylan's brother. You can't
- 25:52Speaker 4: have two block punchs. Hey you see Dylan's brother. Yeah,
- 25:54Speaker 4: he's committed to committed in Nebraska. Looks like Jackson Mahomes.
- 25:58Speaker 4: I see all the headlines. But we got we got
- 26:02Speaker 4: a little brother. We got a little brother that's a ballplayer.
- 26:06Speaker 4: No broken wrist stuff over here. We got a family
- 26:10Speaker 4: of athletes coming into the NFL.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Bro, Nebraska might be nice for the next six years, could.
- 26:18Speaker 4: Be you know, I don't know. I did see.
- 26:24Speaker 1: That's Rola.
- 26:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw he threw a bomb in his high
- 26:28Speaker 4: school game. Yes, dude, that was a beautiful lefty too.
- 26:32Speaker 6: Well, you are right, by the way, he's a tight
- 26:34Speaker 6: ends coach and O and then it looks like Glenn
- 26:37Speaker 6: Thomas's co offensive coordinator.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Right right.
- 26:40Speaker 4: I do. I think it's a OC by committee type
- 26:43Speaker 4: of deal. I feel like that's always a tough gig.
- 26:47Speaker 4: What the committee thing? Yeah, whether it's coaches or players,
- 26:51Speaker 4: I don't like it. I don't like it. The only
- 26:53Speaker 4: place that works is.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Running back running committee.
- 26:56Speaker 4: Yeah, this kid. What's what's Dylan's brother's name?
- 27:00Speaker 1: Yeah? What day?
- 27:02Speaker 3: Dating Dylan and Dayton?
- 27:03Speaker 4: Okay, date, that's exciting.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Jack.
- 27:06Speaker 4: How are you feeling after Tennessee dropped one against Arkansas?
- 27:09Speaker 5: It's tough, man, you know. You just have these high
- 27:12Speaker 5: expectations and you don't think you're gonna drop one to
- 27:14Speaker 5: an unranked SEC opponent. Luckily it's a West team, but
- 27:18Speaker 5: still they controlled the ball the whole game, even though
- 27:22Speaker 5: it was only three to zero at half, and then
- 27:24Speaker 5: we were up fourteen to three, and then I think
- 27:26Speaker 5: our last five series we got shut out, and then
- 27:30Speaker 5: I think it was the first time we saw Nico
- 27:32Speaker 5: make a young quarterback air the very last play of
- 27:37Speaker 5: the game. It's fourth and eight or something, time expires
- 27:40Speaker 5: and he runs it. It's like, who cares if you
- 27:43Speaker 5: even throw it? And they pick it off, it's game
- 27:45Speaker 5: over regardless. So that seemed like the first kind of
- 27:49Speaker 5: all Right, he's young and still trying to learn what
- 27:52Speaker 5: these big play moments can be, so that I think
- 27:55Speaker 5: that is probably where a lot of our fan base saw, like, ah,
- 27:58Speaker 5: he's maybe not quite the elite quarterback that we wanted
- 28:03Speaker 5: to be at this moment. I still think he's an
- 28:05Speaker 5: unbelievable talent and we'll continue to learn. And I'm sure
- 28:08Speaker 5: he was just as upset as anybody else would have been.
- 28:11Speaker 5: But yeah, it's tough. I thought, for once, because the
- 28:16Speaker 5: Titans had the bye week, I was like, I'm gonna
- 28:18Speaker 5: have stress free football weekend. And I have this theory whenever,
- 28:24Speaker 5: whenever the Titans win, the Balls will lose, and vice versa.
- 28:28Speaker 5: When the Balls win, the Titans lose. And I forgot
- 28:31Speaker 5: Titans played on that Monday night game and what they do.
- 28:34Speaker 5: They won, so I should have known that the Balls
- 28:36Speaker 5: were gonna come back and fuck my shit up.
- 28:38Speaker 1: All weekend.
- 28:40Speaker 5: I didn't watch one snap of NFL football. Yesterday, I
- 28:44Speaker 5: watched three movies in my room by myself, kind of
- 28:48Speaker 5: got back to the basics, try to back and it
- 28:51Speaker 5: was great spooky, uh yeah, but not like a traditional
- 28:56Speaker 5: I forget this was the thriller that.
- 28:58Speaker 4: I watched the Arkansas tennis.
- 29:00Speaker 5: Yeah, that would have been the spook. Would just be
- 29:02Speaker 5: watching the replay of that. But we've got a big
- 29:05Speaker 5: game come up this weekend. Uh, Florida comes to Knoxville.
- 29:09Speaker 5: And even though Florida is in a row for you guys,
- 29:13Speaker 5: yeah Arkansas. Oh yeah, yeah, you're saying starting this week, absolutely,
- 29:17Speaker 5: and Florida's been you know, abysmal this year. But when
- 29:21Speaker 5: it comes to rivalry, you threw everything out the windows, right,
- 29:25Speaker 5: and it's yeah, and Florida they have the opportunity to
- 29:29Speaker 5: end our season before we even get to Alabama. And
- 29:32Speaker 5: I know that that would be like them getting a
- 29:35Speaker 5: like their season. That would be a full win for them.
- 29:37Speaker 5: It doesn't matter if they don't win another regular by
- 29:40Speaker 5: ruining our season. We opened up as a twenty and
- 29:42Speaker 5: a half point favor last week, which scares me. I
- 29:45Speaker 5: do think we can handle it because historically the balls
- 29:48Speaker 5: are so bad in the Swamp, but it's a different
- 29:52Speaker 5: story typically when they come Knoxville, so it's a seven
- 29:55Speaker 5: pm game. Again, we have yet to have a game
- 29:58Speaker 5: that's We had night games every single game this year,
- 30:01Speaker 5: so I don't know. And we and we are a
- 30:05Speaker 5: franchise that's been noon games, noon games. Like my first
- 30:10Speaker 5: two years at Tennessee, I think we had one night
- 30:12Speaker 5: game for the first two years I was there, so
- 30:15Speaker 5: it was always noon kickoff. So I'm a little nervous,
- 30:19Speaker 5: but it's always fun. Florida and Tennessee is such a
- 30:22Speaker 5: fun matchup and it's it's really gritty, hard nos football.
- 30:26Speaker 5: But if we drop that game, yeah, next week I
- 30:29Speaker 5: will be I'll be.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Really you want to hear my theory, Yeah.
- 30:34Speaker 4: The curse of you not buying back into the trees
- 30:42Speaker 4: are whispering that the curse is leaked over into college football.
- 30:45Speaker 4: Jack McPherson controls a little bit of what's happening.
- 30:48Speaker 5: I think I want you to admit that you want
- 30:50Speaker 5: me dead, you want me to kill myself. I just
- 30:53Speaker 5: want you to say it.
- 30:54Speaker 1: I don't. I don't don't.
- 30:56Speaker 4: Maybe this we obviously don't want you to kill yourself.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Yeah I don't, But you sold.
- 31:00Speaker 4: You said you would kill yourself a maliki and that
- 31:03Speaker 4: was hilarious in the moment, and then when it came
- 31:06Speaker 4: real the chickens came home to roost, it was kind
- 31:08Speaker 4: of like, hey, would like for you to kill yourself?
- 31:12Speaker 1: What do you want me to do myself?
- 31:14Speaker 5: Like get close to death, like get like.
- 31:16Speaker 3: Take it back, take it back to middle school horizontal cuts.
- 31:21Speaker 3: If we posty brainstorm, quick brainstorm of what you could
- 31:24Speaker 3: do to get.
- 31:25Speaker 5: The jujuar gonna say, if we keep posting clips about suicide,
- 31:28Speaker 5: eventually people will not think it's funny.
- 31:30Speaker 3: I understand that, But until then, we'll keep doing it.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Jack, what's gonna happen if you guys lose the Florida
- 31:36Speaker 1: this week?
- 31:37Speaker 4: I mean, you gotta at least think about it, like, Okay,
- 31:39Speaker 4: I gotta I gotta pay the gods something. Maybe if
- 31:43Speaker 4: you Yeah, if you lose the If you lose the
- 31:45Speaker 4: Florida this week, you should shave your stash in the head.
- 31:48Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do both. I would do the mustache.
- 31:53Speaker 1: WHOA really, what if you lose the Floorida this week?
- 31:58Speaker 1: Shave your head? No, I'm not shaving my head.
- 32:01Speaker 3: No, we're not talking about if they lose to somebody.
- 32:05Speaker 3: He's gotta right or wrong now, Sock.
- 32:07Speaker 4: I agree. I don't want the curse this. I don't
- 32:09Speaker 4: want the curse to live. I hate living in this world.
- 32:11Speaker 4: I truly do. Yeah, we don't want you guys to lose.
- 32:14Speaker 4: I want you guys to win this week. I want
- 32:16Speaker 4: who's Alabama play suck. I would like for it to
- 32:22Speaker 4: be one lost teams when we go to Tennessee. But Jack,
- 32:31Speaker 4: I'm saying, I don't want. I. I just don't want
- 32:35Speaker 4: the curse to leak in.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Yeah, neither do I.
- 32:38Speaker 5: I don't know how we we've swapped from NFL to college.
- 32:41Speaker 5: I feel like there's got to be a line in
- 32:43Speaker 5: the sand. Like I was prepared for the Titans to
- 32:46Speaker 5: just be horrible because of me because I had the vault.
- 32:50Speaker 4: And then they won and you're like, Okay, maybe that
- 32:52Speaker 4: stuff isn't real.
- 32:53Speaker 5: And then it leaked over in my theory where that
- 32:58Speaker 5: Tennessee valls and the Titans can't win them the same weekend.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Ever, I feel all right, So what I'm just raising
- 33:04Speaker 1: just so we can put this to bed? What is
- 33:06Speaker 1: it going to be?
- 33:06Speaker 5: Because I'm willing to do something. I don't know if
- 33:08Speaker 5: I want to shave my head if we lose, I
- 33:10Speaker 5: would shave my mustache.
- 33:13Speaker 1: How about this? How about this?
- 33:15Speaker 4: We'll let people We'll let people leave comments on what
- 33:17Speaker 4: Jack should do this week? Yes, and maybe we take
- 33:25Speaker 4: We'll choose out of the two most.
- 33:27Speaker 5: Like the ones, Okay, throup the comments, all right, and
- 33:31Speaker 5: none can involve me killing myself.
- 33:33Speaker 4: Yeah, we're doing. That's off the deal, like you're the
- 33:37Speaker 4: one who said that. But we do want that.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Guys. If we lose to Florida, I will I'm not yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 33:47Speaker 5: Give me a call if we lose the Florida.

- 34:49Speaker 1: NFL.
- 34:50Speaker 3: NFL first game of the year played in London.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Yes, Vikings, bro, I've been on the Vikings for a
- 34:58Speaker 1: few weeks now you have.
- 34:59Speaker 4: Maybe it was like the Niners game. What was that
- 35:01Speaker 4: Week two? Week three? Yeah, but the Vikings are for real.
- 35:05Speaker 1: Man, I know.
- 35:06Speaker 3: And the cool thing is, obviously everyone's been talking about
- 35:08Speaker 3: Sam Donald and how he's been able to throw it
- 35:10Speaker 3: all over the yard, but this is the week like
- 35:12Speaker 3: they came out and they scored fairly quickly and went
- 35:15Speaker 3: up on the Jets big time. But after that the
- 35:17Speaker 3: offense was kind of non existent. The Jets really started
- 35:19Speaker 3: to figure themselves out. That defense is unreal. And Baldy
- 35:24Speaker 3: you ever watched his clips, He's always breaking down the
- 35:26Speaker 3: offitsive line clips. He showed the New York Jets doing
- 35:31Speaker 3: a basic open side inside zone play and there's a
- 35:35Speaker 3: Baker blitz which for those of you listening Bakers when
- 35:38Speaker 3: the linebacker will go through the B gap. You hear Baker,
- 35:40Speaker 3: I believe it's acts for a gap.
- 35:43Speaker 4: Change of wardings, but yeah, you're going through.
- 35:46Speaker 3: So basically what happens in that situation is the two
- 35:49Speaker 3: d tackles will slant away from the blitz and just
- 35:52Speaker 3: watching the Jets offensive line, dude do a horrible job
- 35:56Speaker 3: of picking that up. The left guard buries his face
- 35:58Speaker 3: into the defensive tackle and doesn't get out of it,
- 36:01Speaker 3: and then they just get a TfL. The Minnesota Vikings
- 36:04Speaker 3: are playing on all cylinders right now.
- 36:06Speaker 4: They are crushing in that pick six. Impressive right, just
- 36:11Speaker 4: dropping out last second now going into that too, like
- 36:14Speaker 4: uh Flores, I think him and he's only played against
- 36:16Speaker 4: Aaron once and he's on one against Aaron, but he's
- 36:18Speaker 4: always got something dialed.
- 36:20Speaker 3: Up, right And Aaron obviously when you're watching the uh
- 36:23Speaker 3: the TV copy you you hear the commentators, we're talking, Hey, Aaron,
- 36:27Speaker 3: he's gonna be forty one in a couple of months,
- 36:29Speaker 3: Like this is kind of what he is now. He
- 36:31Speaker 3: can't get away as much as possible. He rolls his
- 36:33Speaker 3: ankle during the game, and so it's like and man
- 36:37Speaker 3: battle line play is terrible.
- 36:41Speaker 4: Online coach, that's Keith still still Keith Card Now I'm
- 36:47Speaker 4: my my Twitter's kind of I got some people commenting,
- 36:49Speaker 4: we don't have to go any further than what Taylor
- 36:51Speaker 4: I wanna set already. Yeah, like it's been out there
- 36:53Speaker 4: for quite a minute. A minute and the players, Yeah,
- 36:56Speaker 4: and you're you're missing like your best I mean, I
- 36:59Speaker 4: don't know the aster room talked about him, but arguably
- 37:01Speaker 4: your best whole lineman and Morgan Moses he's been out.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:03Speaker 3: Timon Smith is their left tackle aged a Yeah, hat
- 37:08Speaker 3: has has a history of injuries, but still like a
- 37:11Speaker 3: Hall of Fame tackle.
- 37:13Speaker 4: They've got do.
- 37:14Speaker 3: They've just got to figure out a way to just
- 37:17Speaker 3: just block as a unit. It's always just one guy
- 37:20Speaker 3: and no one clip I talked about with Baldy.
- 37:22Speaker 4: It's like this.
- 37:24Speaker 3: The the left guard needs to know when you're when
- 37:26Speaker 3: you're singling to that backer that runs to the B gap.
- 37:29Speaker 3: Once you see the defense tackle, you need to plan
- 37:31Speaker 3: off that right leg and know that something's coming, something
- 37:34Speaker 3: is coming that you need to You're gonna have to block.
- 37:36Speaker 3: So it's a reaction thing you just have. You can't
- 37:38Speaker 3: be burying your face and blocks like that.
- 37:41Speaker 4: You like that, Yeah, And I love the Baldi breakdowns,
- 37:43Speaker 4: like the Baldie breakdowns, or it's where you want to
- 37:46Speaker 4: close the curtains, get out the lotion and just have
- 37:49Speaker 4: excited abouteuse.
- 37:51Speaker 1: He just loves football, I know.
- 37:53Speaker 3: And the thing too, is like the play he was showing,
- 37:55Speaker 3: it's like the most basic. It's you run that play
- 37:58Speaker 3: in high school. There's not most there's not a bunch
- 38:01Speaker 3: of gadgets going on around it. It's truly like it
- 38:03Speaker 3: literally would be called fourteen Wanda or fifteen wanda. It's
- 38:07Speaker 3: a left side play. It's open side. You have your
- 38:10Speaker 3: basic blocking scheams. You can only run it versus certain numbers.
- 38:13Speaker 3: You have the box, you have the look, the safeties
- 38:15Speaker 3: are far away. You don't have too many guys.
- 38:17Speaker 4: It's a count game.
- 38:18Speaker 3: And so center and guard are gonna go to the
- 38:19Speaker 3: front side backer. And then they had a two I
- 38:24Speaker 3: and then a head up six technique on the tight
- 38:27Speaker 3: end or I'm sorry, a five technique.
- 38:29Speaker 4: And when Taylor's talking to you're talking inside shade of
- 38:32Speaker 4: the guard, inside shade the tackle.
- 38:34Speaker 3: So in that situation, the hard the hard block is
- 38:36Speaker 3: for the tackle on the opposite side. The right tackle
- 38:38Speaker 3: because he has to he's in a C block to
- 38:41Speaker 3: the other backer who's not blitzing. Once he sees that
- 38:45Speaker 3: defensive end go away, he now needs to find himself
- 38:48Speaker 3: into the B gap to help the guard to get
- 38:50Speaker 3: up to that linebacker. So it's all it's a reaction game.
- 38:53Speaker 3: And sometimes people love speed off the ball, people love
- 38:55Speaker 3: like a low pad level and all those things with
- 38:57Speaker 3: offensive line, but and those type of situations, it's like
- 39:00Speaker 3: you need to have a reaction step and then figure
- 39:02Speaker 3: out where were going and then put put some power
- 39:04Speaker 3: behind it. But it's just they're burying their face, they're
- 39:07Speaker 3: bearing their face. It feels like just grabbing the soap
- 39:09Speaker 3: a little too hard.
- 39:10Speaker 1: You know, grabbing the bird a little too hard to
- 39:12Speaker 1: kill the bird. So it's it's interesting, that is not
- 39:15Speaker 1: the blitz.
- 39:17Speaker 4: That is not the blae exchange.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Yeah, scrape exchange, which is also a very Hey that's
- 39:22Speaker 3: a nice basic blitz to stop the run. Yeah, I
- 39:27Speaker 3: mean that is essentially the play. No, it's not the
- 39:30Speaker 3: play because that's a that's a that's a that's a
- 39:33Speaker 3: three four. So it's different, but it's not that big
- 39:36Speaker 3: of a deal anyway. Long story short vikings look great,
- 39:39Speaker 3: Vikings look good and and Jets. Jets aren't having a
- 39:42Speaker 3: hard time with their blocking concepts on on on simple things,
- 39:45Speaker 3: which is which is tough.
- 39:46Speaker 4: And I don't blame it. I don't blame the players.
- 39:48Speaker 4: It doesn't look good for the Jets.
- 39:49Speaker 6: Dude, quick Stefan Gilmour, he had that pick at the
- 39:53Speaker 6: end of the game. He's had an interception on Aaron Rodgers,
- 39:56Speaker 6: Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
- 39:58Speaker 4: I mean, thirty four years old Gilmour is that's awesome.
- 40:02Speaker 4: One of the best corners to do it. I feel
- 40:04Speaker 4: like he's kind of like gone away a little bit too.
- 40:07Speaker 6: Like he had yeah, because he was like Panthers Cowboys.
- 40:12Speaker 4: Because he had the defensive the year for the Colts,
- 40:15Speaker 4: right for the Patriots, for the.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Patriots right then he went to the Colts. From there,
- 40:18Speaker 3: then he was the Panthers and it was all over
- 40:20Speaker 3: the place. So he had a couple of years in
- 40:22Speaker 3: hiding and now he's he's still showing up, showing that
- 40:25Speaker 3: he's him.
- 40:25Speaker 4: I love that. Yeah, that's crazy. Could you imagine another
- 40:33Speaker 4: contender in the NFC the Commanders, Bro, Bro, you were
- 40:36Speaker 4: you called it? When are they going to figure? When
- 40:38Speaker 4: are they going to figure out Jaden Daniels. I mean, yeah,
- 40:44Speaker 4: defense played a good game. Now, if you bring up
- 40:46Speaker 4: their schedule, they haven't like played anybody that tough yet,
- 40:50Speaker 4: so it'll be I know it. But all I was
- 40:54Speaker 4: going to say to that is even when you're like,
- 40:56Speaker 4: you're playing these these teams now Bengals arguably in the dumps, uh,
- 41:00Speaker 4: the brown with Burrow throwing five touchdowns. I know, I know,
- 41:05Speaker 4: I'm saying at that time where they kind of they
- 41:07Speaker 4: kind of squeaked out a win at Sincy and then
- 41:09Speaker 4: they go and demolish the Cardinals. They demolished the Browns.
- 41:12Speaker 4: Like they're handling teams that are perceived to be not
- 41:14Speaker 4: that good this year. They're handling their business. So even
- 41:17Speaker 4: if you want to chalk it up to hey, they
- 41:19Speaker 4: kind of have a week schedule right now, which again,
- 41:20Speaker 4: it is the National Football League. Anything can happen. But man,
- 41:23Speaker 4: you've got a rookie quarterback that's dialed in like that
- 41:26Speaker 4: and firing on all cylinders. You're kind of the question,
- 41:29Speaker 4: I guess is like when's he going to hit the
- 41:30Speaker 4: rookie wall because he's having just I mean, he's having
- 41:32Speaker 4: it like a a career year, in his first year
- 41:35Speaker 4: in the league. It's crazy, it really is. Yea and
- 41:38Speaker 4: everybody in the district right now, I know has fired
- 41:40Speaker 4: the fuck up massive game this weekend against the Ravens.
- 41:44Speaker 4: The Ravens had a dicey one against the Bengals over
- 41:47Speaker 4: the weekend. Joe Burrow, he did. He threw for five
- 41:50Speaker 4: five tuddies. We got to get or Lamar, I mean Lamar.
- 41:54Speaker 4: You saw that play at the end of the game
- 41:55Speaker 4: of Lamar where he's escaping in through that tuddy. I
- 42:00Speaker 4: know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that fumble that he had.
- 42:03Speaker 4: Well play is this? Can I see that play?
- 42:05Speaker 1: Which one the fumble?
- 42:06Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, they were going, they were they were going,
- 42:10Speaker 4: they were in ot and they were I always say
- 42:13Speaker 4: drive and they had the ball. They're driving and Lamar
- 42:16Speaker 4: has a you know, has a mistake, fumbles the ball.
- 42:19Speaker 4: Bengals get it in Raven's territory. They can't really move it.
- 42:22Speaker 4: They're trying to run the ball a little bit. Miss
- 42:24Speaker 4: a field goal, yeah, bad snap, miss the field goal.
- 42:28Speaker 4: This one right here, bad snap to Lamar. Laurn's a
- 42:32Speaker 4: fumbling it just brewed. Yeah, yeah, my fault.
- 42:36Speaker 1: Bad bad exchange.
- 42:37Speaker 4: He kind of takes his eyes to the defense right before,
- 42:39Speaker 4: for whatever reason, lose his focus drops the ball. Bengals
- 42:42Speaker 4: get it in enemy territory. It's like it almost seems
- 42:45Speaker 4: like McPherson like he's gonna be able to knock this
- 42:47Speaker 4: one in no problem. They have a bad uh uh
- 42:50Speaker 4: center holder exchange for the for the field goal. They
- 42:54Speaker 4: missed the field goal and freaking uh Darry buss Off.
- 42:58Speaker 4: How long was that run? Fifty seven yard? Or bro
- 43:02Speaker 4: still got him? Man? Yeah, still fucking got it. The
- 43:04Speaker 4: King got a hundred, ten thousand yards and pass with
- 43:08Speaker 4: Derrick Henry ten thousand yards and one hundred touchdowns. Like
- 43:11Speaker 4: I want to say, he's seventh on the old time
- 43:13Speaker 4: list right now in one hundred and twenty five games.
- 43:16Speaker 4: Like he's he I mean, he's a legend, He's a
- 43:18Speaker 4: Leegend's gonna be All of Famer.
- 43:19Speaker 1: He's up.
- 43:20Speaker 4: He was before this season started. Yeah, now you kind
- 43:23Speaker 4: of cement it like when you're hitting the when you're
- 43:25Speaker 4: hitting the things like the milestones like ten thousand yards,
- 43:27Speaker 4: one hundred touchdowns, and he's looking the way he does
- 43:29Speaker 4: with these big runs and kind of pulling away from guys. Yeah,
- 43:32Speaker 4: it's cool to see it's also gonna see Derek Havan' success.
- 43:35Speaker 1: With the Red.
- 43:35Speaker 3: It is man and you just want him to just
- 43:37Speaker 3: keep it going for as long as possible. Can't you
- 43:39Speaker 3: get eleven thousand how many how many guys have eleven
- 43:42Speaker 3: thousand yards?
- 43:44Speaker 1: Like four or five? Uh two? People are okay? Four
- 43:51Speaker 1: or five?
- 43:52Speaker 3: Sherman is now switched up to four or five. It's
- 43:55Speaker 3: it's just awesome to see man, to see his success.
- 43:57Speaker 3: It's I did not think it would come this quick
- 44:00Speaker 3: with the Ravens. I thought they're gonna have a more
- 44:01Speaker 3: difficult time figuring out a way for him to.
- 44:05Speaker 1: Okay, And there's.
- 44:06Speaker 3: Twenty one guys eleven thousand yards five four or five?
- 44:09Speaker 4: Four or five.
- 44:11Speaker 3: Did you see Stefan Diggs give the side eye to
- 44:16Speaker 3: Josh Allen after the game?
- 44:17Speaker 4: Yeah? I did. To me, there's a part of me
- 44:20Speaker 4: too that thinks people are really looking into it. I
- 44:22Speaker 4: think they they don't have like the greatest relationship. And
- 44:24Speaker 4: they just kind of congratulated each other after the game,
- 44:26Speaker 4: and somebody just got that still shot of him kind
- 44:28Speaker 4: of coming out of it. Yeah, it's still fun to
- 44:31Speaker 4: look at it.
- 44:31Speaker 1: It's still fun to.
- 44:32Speaker 4: Down a little bit. Yeah, Yeah, it's still fun to
- 44:34Speaker 4: live in that world that he's like pissed off that
- 44:36Speaker 4: he just had to tap him up, Like yeah, bitch,
- 44:38Speaker 4: all right, bitch. I feel like, hey, good game.
- 44:40Speaker 3: I think Josh has handled it well. You see the
- 44:42Speaker 3: press conferences and there's a couple of things they took
- 44:45Speaker 3: quotes and they kind of ran with it a little
- 44:46Speaker 3: too much, lost possession.
- 44:50Speaker 4: I was, I was bouncing back between that game was
- 44:53Speaker 4: going on. You had the Colts game going on. That
- 44:56Speaker 4: one was close.
- 44:57Speaker 6: Josh's stat line was insanely bad. It's like nine for thirty.
- 45:02Speaker 1: The Yikes got knocked out.
- 45:05Speaker 4: He had knocked out in the game.
- 45:07Speaker 3: Someone was telling me that earlier that he was like
- 45:09Speaker 3: literally stiff on the ground for a second and they
- 45:12Speaker 3: put him back in.
- 45:14Speaker 4: He hit some of the smelling salts and was like,
- 45:16Speaker 4: oh yeah, you get them salts. You know, Josh Like,
- 45:18Speaker 4: if they put him back in, it's not because they're
- 45:19Speaker 4: like you seem good to go ahead and go back in,
- 45:21Speaker 4: you know Josh's and they're like, hey, I'm fucking fine,
- 45:23Speaker 4: like going back in.
- 45:24Speaker 3: This just a wyoming boy, dude, a kid that just
- 45:27Speaker 3: all grit.
- 45:28Speaker 4: Yeah, all grit, trying to bring farmers back to life,
- 45:32Speaker 4: fighting for the agriculture, no doubt. Yeah, fighting for it.
- 45:34Speaker 4: And yeah that's like that's one of those gray areas
- 45:37Speaker 4: that people argue like the team's gotta save him from himself,
- 45:39Speaker 4: and you'll you'll hear all that, but ultimately, you know,
- 45:42Speaker 4: Josh was like, hey, I'm fine, I'm good to go.
- 45:44Speaker 4: I'm passing all the tests, like get me back out
- 45:46Speaker 4: in the game.
- 45:47Speaker 3: Nico that that ball on CJ. Stroud had to Nico
- 45:49Speaker 3: collins Man. CJ really has touch on the ball like that.
- 45:53Speaker 4: Yeah, CJ. Yeah, I hated that Nico went out too
- 45:56Speaker 4: with the hamstring injury. I got him on my fantasy team.
- 45:58Speaker 3: Really, Yeah, how's your face? Your fantasy team sounds like
- 46:01Speaker 3: it's in a blender.
- 46:02Speaker 4: It was I now I've popped out a couple wins. Now,
- 46:04Speaker 4: I just I just beat the ship out of Coop
- 46:06Speaker 4: in our fantasy Nice.

- 49:58Speaker 3: I quit before this and started. We did we did
- 50:02Speaker 3: a tackling drill. We have to run straight and then
- 50:04Speaker 3: they have like ticket, it's an angle drill. And then
- 50:07Speaker 3: kids were getting tackled and I was like, fuck this
- 50:09Speaker 3: that looks terrible. I got too scared. I was so
- 50:12Speaker 3: scared of contact. Yeah, the ale tackle drill terrified.
- 50:17Speaker 1: Dude.
- 50:17Speaker 3: Even baseball, same thing, Like anytime I pitch can be
- 50:19Speaker 3: like remotely close step outside the box.
- 50:23Speaker 6: This is random, But I love those videos when of
- 50:25Speaker 6: youth football practice, when the moms tackle there.
- 50:27Speaker 1: Dude, yea, I saw that the Oklahoma drill with that kid.
- 50:30Speaker 3: There's a couple of kids are laying their moms out
- 50:32Speaker 3: and vice versa versa.
- 50:33Speaker 6: You can tell the moms that have a bad kid.
- 50:35Speaker 6: They're like they lined up.
- 50:40Speaker 4: I wish my mom would have tried that shit. Due
- 50:42Speaker 4: I would have buried her, probably not for five minutes
- 50:47Speaker 4: and be like, yeah, so I saw the clip where
- 50:49Speaker 4: the kid beat his mom and he just started gridding
- 50:52Speaker 4: no ship, yeah, no, oh.
- 51:00Speaker 1: His ass. I mean we knew what was gonna happen
- 51:02Speaker 1: before that one even started.
- 51:05Speaker 4: That's just the area you just don't get anymore. Man,
- 51:07Speaker 4: that's the bowl in the ring aer right there.
- 51:08Speaker 3: Oh yeah, d emasculating. I mean, these moms are even
- 51:12Speaker 3: moving in time.
- 51:13Speaker 4: So this drill right here, they line this drill up,
- 51:16Speaker 4: and just I would get to go against the kids
- 51:18Speaker 4: who they wanted to quit. Yeah, I can't.
- 51:23Speaker 3: Imagine you separate a defensive here offense over here, and
- 51:27Speaker 3: kids are doing the one, two, three wheels right there,
- 51:30Speaker 3: and may you go ahead, Yeah, you go ahead. Just
- 51:32Speaker 3: let everybody try not to match up.
- 51:34Speaker 4: My coach would be like, all right, wheel's up, and
- 51:35Speaker 4: then he pointed to somebody like Coop and be like Coop,
- 51:37Speaker 4: you're up. Maybe try to get him to quit.
- 51:39Speaker 1: They would say that to you.
- 51:40Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, but I was so brainwashed, like we
- 51:44Speaker 4: I had the little sea on my chest as a
- 51:45Speaker 4: young buck, and if you had to see on your chest,
- 51:47Speaker 4: you were allowed to just take off at any moment. Oh,
- 51:51Speaker 4: hang on on a kid, if they're just walking back
- 51:53Speaker 4: to line, like I would just get to go and
- 51:55Speaker 4: sprint and just level the kid without him looking.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 52:00Speaker 6: Ball team did that in high school. Yes, our best
- 52:03Speaker 6: player would just lay people out that were walking. It
- 52:06Speaker 6: was like they did not deserve that.
- 52:08Speaker 3: Yeah, itzynuts, I've never even heard of that walking back.
- 52:14Speaker 4: I could take off at any moment, just go lay
- 52:15Speaker 4: somebody out. How often did you do it? I would
- 52:18Speaker 4: do it as much as possible.
- 52:19Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody, Now, if you started running and they saw
- 52:22Speaker 3: you coming, they started running, would you stop?
- 52:24Speaker 4: No?
- 52:24Speaker 1: I mean I would keep going till the job's done.
- 52:27Speaker 3: The job Yeah, Will is a fucking menace of authority,
- 52:33Speaker 3: got drunk with power.
- 52:34Speaker 4: I would have hated you. I would have hated you.
- 52:39Speaker 4: I mean, imagine bulling the ring. Just you'd have somebody
- 52:42Speaker 4: standing in the middle and people get pointed out.
- 52:44Speaker 6: Did you ever go and like in the Oklahoma drew
- 52:47Speaker 6: where they're like hey will and then somebody got.
- 52:50Speaker 4: Really no, I mean I was, I was than everybody.
- 52:53Speaker 3: What about Nebraska? Like those here was probably like a
- 52:56Speaker 3: Nebraska drill, which was the same thing.
- 52:57Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think I lost to a full
- 53:00Speaker 4: back and like an Oklahoma drill like that to where
- 53:01Speaker 4: you're on the board, but nothing like that.
- 53:04Speaker 3: Is to me, the dumbest drill to have a board
- 53:06Speaker 3: in between both of your feet.
- 53:07Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 53:08Speaker 3: We used to do that in like three point stances
- 53:10Speaker 3: with the defensive linemen and it would be like I'd
- 53:12Speaker 3: be in a defensive line stance just like this is
- 53:15Speaker 3: doing nothing, but you gotta win.
- 53:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it.
- 53:19Speaker 4: The adrenaline nerves and everything that you have when you're
- 53:22Speaker 4: just in front of the entire team going one on
- 53:24Speaker 4: one bro something like that.
- 53:25Speaker 3: My freshman year of college, there was a walk on guy,
- 53:29Speaker 3: Eric Gunderson. He was three hundred and forty pounds and
- 53:32Speaker 3: I was two fifty. He were both freshmen. They did
- 53:35Speaker 3: the board drill and he and I went and he
- 53:38Speaker 3: just walked me back and they're like again because it
- 53:42Speaker 3: was like one of those things where they're probably trying
- 53:43Speaker 3: to get me to do well. So this kid would
- 53:45Speaker 3: quit type of thing, and then maybe dude three times.
- 53:49Speaker 3: On the third time, his helmet came off and.
- 53:51Speaker 4: I swung on him.
- 53:53Speaker 3: I swaw, dude, I hit him like right here, like
- 53:56Speaker 3: kind of hit his nose and his cheek and he
- 53:58Speaker 3: gets hit and slowly just looks back at me. I'm like,
- 54:02Speaker 3: oh my god, this is gonna fucking kill me. Later,
- 54:06Speaker 3: I like go up to apologize to him, and I'm like, hey,
- 54:09Speaker 3: you get one free bee on me before like this
- 54:11Speaker 3: is all done between us. So my senior year, we
- 54:14Speaker 3: were literally roommates in our house and it's like, I
- 54:17Speaker 3: think right before the season started and there's like we're
- 54:19Speaker 3: having a party at the house and you know, well,
- 54:22Speaker 3: your boy was kind of on back.
- 54:23Speaker 4: Then, right, so I like, see Dunnison, he's.

- 54:29Speaker 3: like as we like became seniors, it was like, hey, brother,
- 54:31Speaker 3: you only have a couple more months. And I was like,
- 54:34Speaker 3: you know, I could have left my junior year. He
- 54:37Speaker 3: was like I was thought it was a man around here,
- 54:39Speaker 3: and I'm like, guandhy you can you can anytime you wanted.
- 54:42Speaker 4: You get a free when you get a free one.
- 54:43Speaker 3: So that night at the house, you know, I'm doing

- 58:00Speaker 3: with how hot it was.
- 58:01Speaker 6: I know.
- 58:02Speaker 4: The thought process was, ultimately, we're gonna be gone the
- 58:05Speaker 4: next couple of weeks because we got Oregon and then
- 58:07Speaker 4: we're going to the Tennessee game. So we would have
- 58:10Speaker 4: been waiting till the end of the month to do it.

- 58:14Speaker 4: Charlie had the call. She's pregnant. I'm kind of like
- 58:16Speaker 4: lean on her, Hey, if you want to go do
- 58:18Speaker 4: this because I told her, I'm like, it is still
- 58:19Speaker 4: fucking hot. Yeah, thank god it is not anymore. The
- 58:22Speaker 4: weather has finally been to our will and it feels
- 58:24Speaker 4: like it's October. But yeah, you're right, like it was
- 58:26Speaker 4: mid eighties, miserable, sweaty, but it was fun. We had
- 58:29Speaker 4: a great time. There's a lot of shade rude played
- 58:31Speaker 4: on all the playground stuff. We went on a little
- 58:33Speaker 4: hay ride. We bought pumpkins. Our stairs now outside our
- 58:37Speaker 4: porch is just decorated with pumpkins like the Compton family.
- 58:40Speaker 4: You'd be proud of your boy. I love that the
- 58:43Speaker 4: whole family is embracing the spook. That fires me up.

- 58:48Speaker 1: outside his door. One stole a pumpkin. That's all you
- 58:51Speaker 1: need is add just something that reminds you that.
- 58:53Speaker 3: Oh, these people are appreciating the holiday season. Yeah, it
- 58:56Speaker 3: doesn't have to be created. Like my house is ridiculous.
- 58:59Speaker 3: It makes no sense.

- 59:03Speaker 1: me off on Thursday. You said the same.

- 59:11Speaker 1: I know I relate this.
- 59:12Speaker 3: My one goal is to when my kids describe me

- 1:03:40Speaker 4: Michigan man.
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: We were talking before about a little little football, a
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: little everything. But let me give you my thought of
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: who you are. Okay, and we can we can go
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: from there because I want to get in your Michigan
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: fandom to start. Every major program has a top five
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: percent of fans that are true psychos when it comes
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: to their program, or how state has it, Michigan has,
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: at Alabama, Georgia, all these Nebraska, all of them have
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: these these crazy fans that live and die with their program.
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: You are one of the five percent that actually made
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: a difference in their program besides cheering on Saturdays. Is
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: that Is that a fair way to put you?
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you.
- 1:04:24Speaker 4: Take a lot of pride in that.
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: I guess would Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: And that wasn't me saying crazy as like a shah
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: or anything like that. It's just like all these big
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: programs have these guys that like love, love Michigan, love Nebraska,
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: like love all those things, and every one of those
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: fans think to themselves, how can I help the school
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: become better. And you literally had the traits and the
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: abilities with your military background and your ability to break
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: down all of these things that you watch in your
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: documentary that you truly were able to help a team. Yeah,
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: we gotta feel amazing.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: I mean, I don't remember exactly what game it was,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: but I remember the first time walking into the Big
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: House through section fourteen at season tickets row row eighty three,
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: see twenty six and twenty seven, walking in probably three
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: four years old, just kind of told myself like, yeah,
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be down there one day.
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: No way, and just kind of figured out your thing.
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: I did with that end, stay mind.
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: I'm so excited that you're on because again, like I,
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: we got to play, We got to play at our schools,
- 1:05:34Speaker 4: and there comes a time for everybody where that you
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: have to retire, whether it's in middle school, high school, college, NFL, whoever.
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: If you get to play a long time, that's awesome.
- 1:05:43Speaker 4: But you understanding and figuring out like, Okay, I wasn't
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: able to make it at this D one level. How
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: can I carve out my own path a different route?
- 1:05:51Speaker 4: And I feel like you're somebody who's been able to
- 1:05:53Speaker 4: accomplish that. Yep, is that fair to say?
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean that's why, you know, everyone goes to
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: the nail, Okay, I mean to serve their country. But everyone,
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: you know, everyone has a different reason. And I just
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: kind of well, every major successful head coach, legendary head
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: coach you're talking like Bud Wilkinson at Oklahoma, Osborne, John Wooden,
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: Greg Popovich, Coach k Woody, Hayes, bo schen Beckler, all
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: had one thing in county, served in the military four
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: to five years at least. So okay, they got to
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: be onto something right, right. So and this is going
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: through your brain, Well, yeah, this is early high school.
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: I mean I always knew I wanted to coach at Michigan,
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: and then when it came time to you know, okay,
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: what exactly is the route? You know? I applied to me.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: I applied to two schools, Michigan and the Naval Academy,
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: got accepted the Michigan, got waitlisted at the Naval Academy.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: So in my mind like okay, whatever, going to mission.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: And then got the call And it was actually about
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: two weeks before last day of school senior year. I
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: get a call Annapolis Maryland. I mean, I'm I'm in
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: the middle of class. Well I better answer this one.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: So I answer it and said, whoever it is the
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: Missions and the Naval Academy, do you have a minute.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of class. So I'm like, uh,
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: let me call you back. So I call him back
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: and said, oh, you've been accepted. So they actually they said,
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: but we need a response right now because we've got
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: to let the people behind you know. So in my mind,
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: I just went back to all those coaches and I'm like, well,
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: I guess I gotta do it. And so I said,
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: all right, yep, I'm in. And then I call my
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: parents and they work at the They teach at the
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: middle school right down the road, so they, oh, come over,
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: let's talk about it. So I get there and they're like,
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: so what are you thinking. I'm like, oh, I already
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: told them, yeah no, and then just went from there.
- 1:08:02Speaker 4: And you when did you decide you wanted to be
- 1:08:04Speaker 4: like a head coach? Was like your your three years old.
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: You didn't even care to play. You're like, I want
- 1:08:11Speaker 4: to be.
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: Uh you know, yeah I played. I played, but like
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: I always so senior year. My dad's the eighth grade.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: It was the eighth grade football coach. His record against
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: our rivals was like twenty one to zero to one
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: in his career and uh yeah yeah. So I mean
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for them to build a statue at
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: scripts middle school. But so my senior year, I didn't play.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: I just played. I always played basketball. And then I
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: helped coach eighth grade football with him kind of like
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: as de facto defensive coordinator. Yeah, and you know, just
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: kind of went from there, and that was my first
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: actual experience like truly coaching. And then student coach at
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: the Naval Academy. Yeah, what was the action?
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: Sorry, so go ahead. I was just to say.
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: And then the documentary you kind of you say, you
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: go into the coach's office and you're like, hey, I
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: want to do this, and you're like all right, cool,
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: go down, You're you're in. Was it that simple as
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: far as being having a student coach?
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: So I got my foot in the door doing just video,
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: you know, like the you know film and practice and
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: all that games. And so that was freshman year and
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: then spring going into sophomore year. I mean I was
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: always at the football facilities and the director of football
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: apps just asked, you know, hey, you're here all the time,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: you want to you want to come upstairs and help out.
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: So for about a week or two I was helping
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: out with operations, and then I mean, I was like
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: eighteenth time, didn't know any better. I just walked right
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: into the head coach's office. So, hey, Coachnam, Hey Hunnor,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: I didn't even know he knew my name. Yeah, and
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: he's awesome, one of the best people I've ever met.
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: And I go, hey, coach, could I a student coach?
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: And he think he stands up, he thinks about it,
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: and he goes up follow me, brings me right into
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: uh coach Shasper, the offensive coordinator's office, and says, hey, coach,
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: here's your new student coach. Oh.
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: Thanks, that's it.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: And then from the random any responsibility I had just
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: treated it in my mind like I'm the head coach
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: at Michigan right. Like it's like a psychology, you know,
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: psychological thing where you know, you know, it's vision, like you,
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: when you visualize you are what you're trying to be,
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: then you convince your brain that you are right, and
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: then all your habits are like that. So everything I did,
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: I mean, the first thing I did at Michigan, you know,
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: kind of skipping ahead here, but the first thing, the
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: first assignment I had at Michigan was doing a wind
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: report special teams. Every stadium, you know, every stadium we
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: play in, we need a wind report. Yeah, I said, okay,
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: do you have like a templative one that Yeah, I
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know where where we would I've
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: seen one before, but you know, just kind of, you know,
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: start it and then I'll kind of redirect you if
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: it's you know, not what we're thinking. And so all right,
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: so I just became like a weatherman for a month.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: You're thinking of five days, probably about five days. And
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: I give him this like eighteen page packet and it
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: had like every kickoff, where it landed, and what the
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: wind was that day in every stadium they played in
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: that year, and I think they were like, what the
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: heck is this?
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: Like what have we got here? He's like, I'm gonna
- 1:11:33Speaker 4: be the best goddamn weather man they've ever seen it,
- 1:11:35Speaker 4: ever see.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: And then it was the next task, whatever it was,
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: you know, just I'm gonna be the best at whatever
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: it is.
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: There's the epitome of giving one hundred and at all times. Yeah. Absolutely,
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: When when did it start to like, you're at the
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: Naval Academy, When did you start to like, how did
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: you create your first opportunity outside of the Naval Academy.
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: So sophomore year, spring break, I go to I go
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: back home to Michigan and Coach Arba just got the
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: job and they're doing this coaches clinic and Coach Partris
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: at the time was the recruiting coordinator, so he ran
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: the clinic and I went with some of my high
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: school coaches and my dad, and I think like Mike
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: Martz or someone big was speaking, so all eyes around him,
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: and Mike Mike Martin, Mike.
- 1:12:25Speaker 4: Martz, he's like the he was like a head coach
- 1:12:28Speaker 4: for the Rams.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: Yeah, so he was speaking, all eyes are on him.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: But I'm just trying to get my foot in the door.
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: So I go down and talk to Coach Partridge and
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: basically it was like, you know, hey, I'm here for
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: a week. This was like Friday night or Saturday morning,
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: like spring break just started, right, so you get the
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: next nine days or whatever. And so I go and
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: introduce myself and tell him, Hey, I'm here on spring break.
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: I'm here for the week. I'd love to help out.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: You know, told him my name dropped a couple of
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: people that I knew. He knew at Navies as a
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: student coach with them, and you know, he probably thought, one,
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: why the heck are you and Ann Arbor on spring break? Yeah?
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: And then too, you know, military Naval Academy student coaching. Okay,
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: we'll find something for you to do. And yeah, I
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: just ran with it from there. And I think the
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: wind report was that off season that was like the
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: first in my mind, big project I had or whatever.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: And is there was there? Something?
- 1:13:21Speaker 4: Was there? Something too? Leaving after your sophomore year, you
- 1:13:23Speaker 4: know what I mean, because you're obviously taking a you're
- 1:13:26Speaker 4: taking a chance going and diving into this next opportunity
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: with Michigan.
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: Well, I was doing both. So I was. I was
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: a student at Navy. I did my four years at
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: the Naval cabin and then my fifth year I was
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: a temporary assigned duty. It's like a grad assistant with
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: the football team because I don't have a post grad school, right,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: So I student coach. So I wasn't at every single
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: Michigan game. Yeah, during my four years at Navy, because
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: I was at every Navy game. Okay, we had a
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: bye week or spring break or in the summer and
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: I had time to go home or whatever. That's when
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: I would help out. And then when I got so,
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: I graduated in seventeen, go to uh you know, so
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: now I'm a Marine Corps officer. Do maybe five or
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: six months as like a GA with the Navy football team,
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: and then I go do my Marine Corps training and
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: I think the station in California at that point when
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: I'm no longer with Navy football, that's when I was
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: then flying back and forth helping out Michigan. And then
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: I was at like pretty much every game. So that
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: started in like twenty eighteen, and.
- 1:14:28Speaker 4: You were helping the coaching staff. Yeah, during that time
- 1:14:31Speaker 4: as well.
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: So it started when I was at Camp La June
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: in North Carolina for a few months training and then
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: station in California. So you know, they kind of touched
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: down in the documentary. I would when I was in California,
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: I would live, well, I started, I started sleeping on
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: my couch and I rented out all the rooms in
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: my house to make money and you know, say money
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: to back and forth and all that.
- 1:15:01Speaker 8: And and then I realized, well, I live like fifty five
- 1:15:04Speaker 8: minutes north of Camp Pendleton, So why am I driving
- 1:15:10Speaker 8: back and forth just to sleep on my couch.
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: I'm just gonna sleep in my car. So I slept
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: at the I five South rest stop right outside Camp
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: Pendleton every day for like two years, no shit, yep,
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: every day saved two hours, like an hour driving north,
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: an hour driving south. That's gas, that's everything. You're saving money,
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: you're saving time. So that's two more hours of watching film.
- 1:15:36Speaker 4: Dude, I love it. It's like, yeah, it makes sense.
- 1:15:38Speaker 4: But at the same time, very very few people are
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: willing to sacrifice.
- 1:15:43Speaker 3: Right, And it's also like people like oh, he was
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: such a big fan of Michigan, like anybody who wants
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: to be successful, Like, these are the kind of sacrifices.
- 1:15:50Speaker 4: You should make in the beginning of the game. Yeah,
- 1:15:52Speaker 4: to get these things going.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're flying, you're flying back and forth. I'm
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: flying back and forth. So yeah, say I get back
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: from arbor wherever we're playing. And so yeah, Sunday night,
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: get back, lax, drive down, pick up my laundry which
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: I put in over the weekend, and then drive down,
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: stay at the rest up, wake up, you know, five am, whatever,
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: workout on base, work work ends, I'm watching film, go
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: to the rest, stop sleep, do the same thing for
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: you know, four days. And then Friday after work, drive
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: up to my house in Orange County, do my laundry,
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: drive up to lax Fly to take the Red Eyes.
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: There's always a So twenty twenty, twenty nineteen, and twenty
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: twenty one because COVID, you know, I couldn't go to games.
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: So twenty nineteen and twenty twenty one, every single game
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: was off, no sleep.
- 1:16:47Speaker 4: No shit.
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: Yeah, took the Red Eye land wherever we are. It's
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: like sometimes, you know, we'd be playing like Illinois, so
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: I'd have to fly into Indianapolis, rent a car, drive
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: over to Illinois, drive back, and then I would hit
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: the can the City Chiefs game on my way back
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: to my boy. Frank was his first Chiefs and so
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: Frank Clark. Yeah. So my it's at twenty nineteen. We
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: lost Alabama and the Citrus Bowl, and the season ends,
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: and I'm already kind of going to Chiefs games whenever
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: it's convenient. I I'm my flight back and so Michigan
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: football is done now for the season. And so I'm thinking, like, well,
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: what do I do with myself right outside of the
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: Marine Corps? What do I do? So I just started
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: breaking down film for Frank and interesting, Yeah.
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: Twenty nineteen, you got the right before two teams that
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: played in the AC Championship that there.
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: Were two teams that played in the FC Championship that year.
- 1:17:51Speaker 4: And Frank, first off, that's we're doing good so far.
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: He texted me, He's like, have this clip ready because
- 1:17:59Speaker 4: I got a fun store with Taylor for this.
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: That's the fun story that you're like, Yeah, You're like,
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: Frank Clark, hold on.
- 1:18:05Speaker 4: Go back, Let's break this. We're gonna if we're gonna
- 1:18:08Speaker 4: do this, let's break down now one up time? Can
- 1:18:11Speaker 4: he say what his.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: Okay?
- 1:18:14Speaker 3: I want to point out that Frank told me at
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: the ben of game I'm gonna get a sack on you.
- 1:18:19Speaker 3: Right now, it's the fourth quarter of a minute twenty eight,
- 1:18:21Speaker 3: we're down by eleven. He has not had a sack.
- 1:18:23Speaker 3: I don't think he's even had a pressure. So maybe
- 1:18:25Speaker 3: your scouting port wasn't that great.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: But we'll get into this anyway. Can't be with the
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: half spin.
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: We see it. We handle it now. I want you
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: to pause it.
- 1:18:35Speaker 4: No, no, keep going.
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: Now, okay, that is nine yards from the line of scrimmage.
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: We gotta step up, we gotta step up, we gotta
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: step up, right right, boys, you gotta step up in
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: the pocket now Chris Jones can't.
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: Step up, So go ahead. What was your scattering report?
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: So so I'm breaking down film.
- 1:18:56Speaker 4: I want to hear the break.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: And it was not as detailed for on you as
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: it was the next game in the Super Bowl. But
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: like for example here here is it was very you know,
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: I only I took one day, right, I'm still a
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: Marine Corps.
- 1:19:15Speaker 4: Is that it's kind of important on the Titans?
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: Or is that that one's on the Titans? The next
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: one slide right? That is the Super Bowl? That was
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: way more detailed, And that was like that was really
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: dialed for that one. I just watched filing. You know,
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: I got the what's the NFL game pass? Right? Yeah?
- 1:19:34Speaker 4: Yeah, the premium two?
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is your this is your work I
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: do for Frank. Yeah. So so, and that's how I
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: met Frank's agent.
- 1:19:45Speaker 4: When Tanehill kills her audibles, if he's under center, thirteen
- 1:19:48Speaker 4: runs to one pass, he's if he's in gun kills
- 1:19:52Speaker 4: or audibles seven pass to one run Yeah.
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: Connor.
- 1:19:57Speaker 4: The screen Yeah, text that to Connor.
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: That is wild.
- 1:20:05Speaker 4: So you you're doing this.
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: The super Bowl one. So so like I I didn't
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: get into details on your hand placement or foot placement
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: or anything like that, but for the Super Bowl I did.
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: And so I'm up in the nosebleeds at the Super
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: Bowl and I every single play and calling run past
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: to myself out they're about the wrong, They're about the past.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: And you're from section you know, five fifty two or whatever. Yeah,
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: and you were Frank Oh in the Super Bowl every play, Yeah,
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: you could you could tell off the off their hand place.
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: I mean, did you did you see? Yeah? Let me
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: let me uh look at this one. Who they played
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: in that Super Bowl San France, Sam So it was
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: uh Joe Staley and Michael Glinchy And like you can
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: zoom in on that one, it was one hundred percent
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: get tells. It was one hundred percent tells.
- 1:20:59Speaker 3: Foot out, ninety pass, foot in under run, Michael Glinchy
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: three point stance, fourteen and sixteen run foot in five
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: out of five on foot out one all right, pass
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: fifty percent past.
- 1:21:14Speaker 4: Three point stance.
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: It's dude, this is.
- 1:21:18Speaker 4: Terrifying. It's amazing.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: This is hand together.
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: Two out of three pass No way, what.
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: Was he pull up? Frank flank Clark's stat line. So
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: let me let me say this before. I mean, I
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: already know this. The only person in the history of
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: football to have the game winning or game ceiling sack
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: in every single playoff game from Divisional round to Super
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: Bowl is Frank Clark.
- 1:21:45Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the coverage second.
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: I mean he's got the clutch gene. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: he got paid. He's a he's a he's a dude,
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: Joe Staley.
- 1:21:59Speaker 4: When he's in a three point stance, five out of
- 1:22:01Speaker 4: six were run. If his hands are apart, fifteen out
- 1:22:04Speaker 4: of sixteen were a run hands together, it was passed.
- 1:22:08Speaker 4: I mean that's yeah, because are details where everybody kind
- 1:22:11Speaker 4: of finds our edge within the game. Obviously, if you're
- 1:22:13Speaker 4: a genetic specimen to go with it, it makes.
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: It that much more difficult, no doubt.
- 1:22:16Speaker 4: Okay, So twenty nineteen, where is the Michigan Manifesto at
- 1:22:19Speaker 4: this point?
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: Okay? Is it alive? Yeah? Here the manfest?
- 1:22:25Speaker 4: So take me even last year when when everything was happening.
- 1:22:27Speaker 4: I was like, hey, there's a manifesto, Like even if
- 1:22:30Speaker 4: he's done the matter, I'm sure he knows exactly who
- 1:22:32Speaker 4: talks it about him the entire he's got a manifesto
- 1:22:37Speaker 4: on people that Yes, uh.
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: No, I know exactly how that how that leaked. I
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: know exactly who leaked it. I'm not I'm not gonna say,
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: but but when I when I saw and here's here's
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: how I know. Because the article said something about six
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: hundred page Michigan Manifesto. Six hundred pages that was in
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: like twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen.
- 1:22:57Speaker 4: How big is it not to be thousands by? Do
- 1:23:00Speaker 4: you have it in like a hard hard copy?
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: Now? So that's that's the thing, like an old Testament book.
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: So I have the I have the original like how
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: it started, So this is what happened. So okay, go
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: to the Naval Academy and you know I always go
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: back to those legendary head coaches, right, they all have
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: that that one thing in common military. Right. So my
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: freshman year, I'm like, well, wow, you know this is
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: I'm going to learn a lot, a lot, and I
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: need to have a place to organize everything I learned.
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: I can't let one little thing slip by. And you
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: know a lot of people when they take notes, they
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: take notes whatever, and then it just they just stack notes,
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: and how do you know where to reference? You know, Oh,
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: I remember that one thing I read in that book?
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: What what was that book? It was about? Uh? You know,
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: it was about hiring and firing personnel? What book was it?
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: And then you go through all your notes and it
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: takes you, you know, two weeks before you find the
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: quote or whatever it was that that you're to think of. Yeah, right,
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: So I used the military the way that the military
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: organizes everything as like my foundation for how I'm going
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: to organize my notes. And it started off as a
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: binder and then that got too big, and then I
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: needed something electronically, so it went to a Microsoft word document.
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: And then I realized, well, I need to be able
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: to capture any thought or any idea at any time.
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: I can only do a word document if I have
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: my specific laptop. So then it translated to a Google doc.
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: So now I can do it for my phone from anywhere.
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: I can do it from right now. You give me
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: a great quote, pull up my phone, type it in.
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: It's in the manifesto. I know exactly where it is,
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: So any you have, you could right now mention any thought,
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: any concept of anything, all the way from leadership to
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: the x's and o's of the game to you know,
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: equipment at anything, and I'll be able to a quote
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: or pull something if you had like, hey, what are
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: your thoughts on uh, you know, firing personnel. Well, I
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: have probably fifteen to twenty pages of notes on that,
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: and I know exactly where it is, and it's super organized.
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: It's just notes.
- 1:25:30Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's notes, but it goes into a Google doc.
- 1:25:32Speaker 3: And then later in the documentary you talk about signs
- 1:25:35Speaker 3: and all that. When did the manifesto evolve into seeing
- 1:25:39Speaker 3: these signs and being to.
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: Break down You're talking about just deciphering signals in a game?
- 1:25:44Speaker 4: Right, it is a manifesto part of that or these
- 1:25:45Speaker 4: two That was just my That was my first Navy
- 1:25:49Speaker 4: So your first major task was was with j.
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: Naval Kate maybe football. So you know, I'm student coaching
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: now and we're a week from game day and I'm like, wait,
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: wait what do I do on game day? Right? And
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: this applies to me at Michigan too, And I started
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: helping out, so like, really in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty one,
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: there's no job description for me because I'm not an employee, right,
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: I'm just volunteering. I'm a volunteer student coach at Navy.
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: And then I was a volunteer assistant at Michigan, So
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: there's no job description. Why would you have a job
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: description for a role that you don't even have? And
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: then you know, I just kind of get my foot
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: in the door and work my way in. So at
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: both places. It started a Navy, I just say, so
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: what do I do on game day? And I forget
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: who it was, but one of the coaches said, well,
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: I don't know, let me look into it. But I
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: remember last year we had a guy he just graduated,
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: who tried deciphering signals, you know, opponent signals in game
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: and I knew nothing about it. You know, I never
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: did that in high school. I don't know, Okay, Okay,
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: So I went in with the steet of paper, a
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: clipboard and a pen and our first game at Ohio
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: State and UH just started. You know that that was
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: the birth. And they talked about the documentary. One of
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: my favorite quotes the yeah, so well, I gotta be.
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: I am one of the dumber people at the Naval Academy.
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: I mean I was like the last person get accepted
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: pretty much, right, Uh, And I strugg I mean it's
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: very very difficult, very difficult. But I'm like, well, these
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: are eighteen nineteen twenty year old kids in Columbus, like
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: I gotta be able to if they if they know
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: there's signals, I can figure out their signals.
- 1:27:37Speaker 4: So it's a personal challenge.
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: Oh, it was like a yeah, and it's Ohio States,
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: So right, you know.
- 1:27:44Speaker 3: How long how how long in that game did you
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: start to thige drives?
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: Three drives?
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: Yep?
- 1:27:49Speaker 4: Okay, can you break that down for me a little bit.
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: I mean I don't remember, you know, I don't remember
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: exactly right. You know the play. I think they ran
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: it d memory. It's been a lot of games since then.
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: But I just remember, you know, both sides of the ball,
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: whatever I could get, And I just remember getting their
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: offensive signals pretty early and just not knowing what to
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: do with the information, so I would just yell it out.
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: And because you know, there wasn't like a structure, no
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: one knew who I was. Like, I'm two weeks into
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: being a student coach, like they're not. They don't know
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: who I am. Like the OC knew who I was,
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: but he's up in the booth, and like the director
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: of football ops knew who I was. That was pretty
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: much it in the players. But so I'm just yelling
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: like power left, power left, you know who's this? It'd
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: be power left and the next play with you know
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: whatever it was, and it's you know, you just gotta
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: have a knack for it. But it's it's not rocket science,
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: it's signals.
- 1:28:57Speaker 4: Still, you're you're in such a spot to where again
- 1:29:00Speaker 4: you don't have like a job title, you don't have
- 1:29:02Speaker 4: a description, like you're in such a militant law of
- 1:29:06Speaker 4: attraction success like I'm going to provide as much value
- 1:29:10Speaker 4: as I possibly fucking can so that way they can't
- 1:29:12Speaker 4: ignore me. Yes, and then you when when's the when's this?
- 1:29:16Speaker 4: When is the point to where it starts to turn
- 1:29:18Speaker 4: to where you're now becoming a valuable asset that they're
- 1:29:21Speaker 4: leaning on just in you, just in your own role,
- 1:29:25Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It's like, Okay, you're doing
- 1:29:26Speaker 4: the weather, then you're getting whatever. The next thing is
- 1:29:32Speaker 4: either one either one.
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: They maybe maybe ever recognize you for like, hey, this
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: guy's really picking up signals, he's understanding he this really
- 1:29:38Speaker 3: gives us an edge.
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: Well well yeah, because they had a breakdown, right Yeah,
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: it's it's it's you know what I say this too,
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: Like even at Michigan this last year before I was suspended, UH,
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: signals was like ten to fifteen percent of my job,
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, it's that's just one
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: responsibility that I did. H You're still you know, breaking
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: down film, getting formation tendencies, you know, stuff like stuff
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: like that. Right yeah, And I mean there's a I'm
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: gonna skip ahead right now. It's on my mind. The
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: best team to ever protect their signals was East Carolina
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: last year, first game, and they I'm not going to
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: get into details on exactly what they did to protect
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: because I don't want to out them. Right now, they're
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: probably still using it because it's it's pretty legit. But
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: it took me two and a half quarters to figure
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: out which signaler was live. That's the longest it's ever
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: taken me. Yep. And it was week one, so it's
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: brand new signals, right, So I pretty much go into
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: the blank Street paper and I had a good idea
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: of how to tell who's live, but they like flipped
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: it from the year before. And I also did one
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: of the formation breakdowns for our defense, so I knew,
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: for example, every time it's two by two four removed,
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: so no tight end in the core, and their only
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: run out of that formation was quarterback draw. And I'm
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: fast forward, like the fourth quarter right now, we're up
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: thirty to nothing, and I'm watching there. I now know
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: who's live, and I see him signal the two by
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: two formation, and then I see one signal. It was
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: like alpha with his hand. And usually I mean, you
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: guys understand play calls, right, like so Bard association. So
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: if there's a formation and then one word, chances are
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: it's not a pass, right because you have a pass protection.
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: And then the concept.
- 1:31:51Speaker 4: Yeah, right, like if a huddle breaks really quickly, you're like, okay,
- 1:31:54Speaker 4: it's probably run here. But if the quarterbacks in there
- 1:31:56Speaker 4: looking around anywhere else, You're.
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: Like, all right, he's tagging receivers and all that. And
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: then also a lot of runs still have some tags
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: to it, right, So only one word, I'm thinking drawer screen,
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: So and then this all goes on. This goes on
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: in my head in like a second right, So I
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: see the two x two like doubles formation, whatever you
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: want to call it, and then I see one signal.
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, that's got to be drawer screen. I
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: would think it was second in. I think it was
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: like second and five and it was two minutes, so
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: but in my mind, I'm like, this isn't really a
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: draw situation. But then I also remembered twenty nineteen Penn State,
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: same signal was their quarterback draw, and that's the only
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: time I've ever seen that signal. And I remember the breakdown.
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: I did quarterback draw out of that formation, So I
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: think you can see it because coach Mentor was the
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: interim head coach of that game, and they happen to
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: be showing him and I'm like behind him, I'm like,
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: I think this is draw, and so we're yelling draw, draw, draw,
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: which is one of the words feelings when you say
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: I think it's something and then everyone yeah. I'm like,
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: oh god, this better be yeah, better hit yeah uh,
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: And it was a draw, but they I mean, they
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: still converted first down. But it's just like that's how
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: many things have to go into it, right, Like it's
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: not just like, look at the signal. It's not this
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: like black and white thing. A lot of times I'm
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: kinda yeah, I think this is what it is. And
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: and you know, so kind of how how it works
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: on game day is in my mind, I have a
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: threshold where if I am not ninety five percent certain,
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: I'm not saying a word. And I got to take
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: a step back for this. All that makes sense. So
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: in college football, right, we're gonna get into some some
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: really good details here.
- 1:33:46Speaker 4: Let's go.
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: I'm so excited, so so college football the culture has
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: always been to go up tempo ever since the mid
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: two thousands. Right, you don't see many teams at huddle. NFL.
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: The culture is obviously to huddle. And I'm gonna kind
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: of mix last year to present day now because of
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: the whole new quarterback coms rule and everyone assumes that, oh,
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: signaling is over. Signaling is picked up now. And to
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: understand that, you have to understand the history of signals.
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: You know, just how it works. And the reason signals
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: exist is because of up tempo. It's not because there's
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: no quarterback comes. It's because offenses like to go up tempo. Right,
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: I have not watched a disclaimer. I have not watched
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: Ole Miss in Tennessee all that much this year, but
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: I would assume they're still going up tempo. I don't
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: see a world in which all these teams that are
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: like snapping the ball with thirty seconds up in the
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: play clock are huddling all because they have coach to
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: quarterback comes now right, So they're going up tempo, which
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: forces the defense to signal right. You can't huddle as
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: a defense if the offense is spread out right, they'll
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: just snap and throw it over your head if you're
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: in a huddle. So signaling will always exist as much
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: as offensive coordinators wanted to want it to exist, and
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: signal stealing has been more prevalent with offenses stealing defensive signals.
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: So going back to twenty eighteen twenty nineteen with Michigan,
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: our defense was getting our signal stall and left and
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: right teams like Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana, so on,
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: pretty much the whole, the whole big tent. Probably Nebraska, Yeah.
- 1:35:43Speaker 4: Probably, I mean, yeah, you're you're not wrong, because it's
- 1:35:46Speaker 4: everyone simplicity.
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: That's like Iowa and Michigan State is everyone else state?
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: I don't think so because they were the worst of protecting.
- 1:35:55Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just going to say, for simplicity, for
- 1:35:58Speaker 3: you to say that about Michigan State, you're saying that
- 1:36:00Speaker 3: the worst of protecting.
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: If you are protecting, you're probably not stealing, right, Like
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: if you if you're good and stealing, you know what
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: it takes to protect. So the teams that were really
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: good at protecting you, well you can also look they
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: got a guy just like me. Right, They just they
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: didn't the media didn't go crazy about their guys, right,
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: But everyone has a guy.
- 1:36:24Speaker 3: Everyone has a connor. Yeah, some things have multiple conners,
- 1:36:27Speaker 3: oh a lot. Well, we'll definitely get into that. Let's
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: keep let's keep breaking. That is obviously a huge thing.
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: So so we're getting our signal stolen left and right.
- 1:36:35Speaker 4: And that's because of the tempo you guys are facing.
- 1:36:37Speaker 4: And it's just simply.
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: Because you know, and and just football in general, right, like,
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: whether it's covering up issues as a play caller or
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: personnel issues, whatever it is, you can always utilize and
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: manipulate tempo to give you an advantage to regain that advantage, right,
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: And a lot of times, and especially in a world
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: where everyone's signaling you can even force the defense to
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: signal before you signal. Maybe not force, right, because at
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: the end of the day, if you know what's going on,
- 1:37:11Speaker 1: it's it's just a cat and mouse game. You just
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: wait until they signal and just calling out on their bluff.
- 1:37:16Speaker 4: And just to your defense too, like if a being
- 1:37:19Speaker 4: a defender, if an offense is tempoing you, the coordinator
- 1:37:21Speaker 4: will kind of tell you before the game. Hey, if
- 1:37:23Speaker 4: they start tempoing us, there'll only be like two or
- 1:37:25Speaker 4: three calls that.
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: They go to correct.
- 1:37:26Speaker 4: So you're almost understanding the tendency before it happens.
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: But also, uh, you know they can tempo and then
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: hard count mm hmm. Right, So just to get whatever
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: you're in. Maybe you showed blitz or maybe you showed
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: your safety shell, or you showed too high, whatever it is, right,
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: they you know, they get the line quick and they
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: get you to kind of tell real quick, and then
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: they call their play and they expose it. Right they
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: Oh they cover four, let's call cover four, beater. Oh,
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: hey they're bringing the nickel, they're dropping the buck. Let's
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: let's throw a slant, you know, to the slot right away. Yeah,
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: whatever it is. And so yeah, that was happening to us.
- 1:38:04Speaker 1: And so in twenty twenty one, the big change was
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: So when coach McDonald got the job, he asked, he said, hey,
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: you know, he's new, he's been in the NFL coming
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: back to college and he goes, hey, you know, what's
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: how do we protect our signals? And I told him,
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: I said, well, it's a cat and mouse game. You
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: got to think of it like it's like red light
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: green light. If I'm watching them signal and I am
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: not talking, that means they have not signaled, So don't signal,
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: because then we're the mouse. You just have to wait
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: for them to begin signaling. So, you know, and it's
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: not the sexy thing everyone wants to hear, but ninety
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: nine times out of one hundred, they already know what
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: they're calling no matter what. They just want to have
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: the green light to call it so their signal doesn't
- 1:38:53Speaker 1: get stolen. Right, So usually in game, I'm looking look
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: and I'm looking and if I say, like, hey, trips,
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: why flex? You know the formation? Maybe I say like
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: why across to trips? Why flex? Which here's usual signals
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: for like why across? Like why across trips? Why? Yeah?
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: You know, like it's anyone could could see that and
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: just say, hey, this is this is what the formation is.
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: Usually he's calling the play just like that, right, So
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: it's not like it's not like the coordinator was waiting
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: for like, hey, is it going to be a run?
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: Is it going to be a pass? It's it's more
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: like he's Mike McDonald is a very successful college football
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: coach and now NFL head coach. Right, Jesse Mentor is
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: what are the Chargers are giving up the fewest points
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: in the NFL?
- 1:39:43Speaker 6: Right?
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, So these guys get paid to do what
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: they do. They're not listening. They're not like calling their
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: defense waiting for me. I'm just a green light to
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: basically tell then, hey, you have permission to signal without
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: getting stolen, and and that is kind of where it
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: picked up in twenty one, where we were now no
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: longer the mouse. It was all even playing field essentially,
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: and what teams will do though, like Ohio State and
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: I got a hole, we might I got a whole
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: breakdown on every single play from twenty eighteen to present day, Michigan,
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: Ohio State.
- 1:40:22Speaker 3: Yeah, now, from twenty eighteen to present day, a whole
- 1:40:27Speaker 3: breakdown of Ohio States.
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: When when Ohio State's on offense and we're on defense,
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: and I categorized, I watched every play on film and
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: I categorized it, who's the mouse, who's the cat? And
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: then sometimes it's just neutral the wash you out, yep,
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: and here we go. So in twenty eighteen, Ohio State
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: was the cat every play because they're picking us apart
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: signal wise, right, and yeah, they're running mess every time
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: we're in cover one. They're running meshrail every time we're
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: blitz in. They happened being max protection. Take a shot
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: every time we're in zone they run the ball, right,
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a coincidence. I'm watching them. They
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: have their me in you know, Ryan Daysier, and we signal,
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: they talk. I see it. We talked, but we signaled first.
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: So were the mouse, right, and and then so that
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: happened in twenty eighteen twenty nineteen, So they were the
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: cat every play those two games. They averaged eight eight
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: point one five yards per play in twenty eighteen and
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: eight yards were playing twenty nineteen, and they had fifteen
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: touchdowns in those two games. Okay, twenty twenty one, they
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: were It was a stalemate seventy two times. Okay, so
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: that's like they're signaling, and then we start to signal
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: right after they start to signal. Okay, they were the
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: cat three times. And here's how I categorize them being
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: the cat when they had a play called. So it
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: starts off as a stalemate, and then Ryan Day gets CJ.
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: Stroud's attention last second because he sees what we're in.
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: Maybe they got our signal, maybe they see our show,
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: whatever it is, and they change the play right before
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: the snap. Okay, that's them being the cat, so our
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: signals last ye and then they were the mouse every
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: time they hard counted that game. Here's why in twenty
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty nineteen, every time they hard counted and
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: then looked at the sideline, we already had our signal
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: called and we never changed it. So I mean they
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: exposure right right right, so they know that the zone
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: man twenty twenty one, I know their heart counts signal,
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: so I know when they're going to hard count, so
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: we don't have to show a blitzer or whatnot. They
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: stole they stole the wrong signal because we would change
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: our call.
- 1:43:00Speaker 4: And do you know who Ryan Days Conor Stallions is yeah.
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna out here. Yeah you should as
- 1:43:06Speaker 1: you should have.
- 1:43:06Speaker 4: But we know he's there.
- 1:43:08Speaker 1: Yeah. Is he good at his job? Yes, very Yeah.
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: So when they were the mouse, actually i'll start with
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: when they're the cat. When they were the cat, so
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: they they changed the play late three times, they averaged
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: nine point three yards per play. When it was a stalemate,
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: they averaged five point three yards per play. They did
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: score three touchdowns. It's seventy two plays, so that's the
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: majority of the game. Right When they were the mouse,
- 1:43:30Speaker 1: they only averaged four yards per play six times.
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: And you said there were seventy two total plays or
- 1:43:36Speaker 3: they were.
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: Seventy they were the stalemate, so it was eighty one
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: total plays, gotcha. And yeah, you see, when they're the cat,
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: they averaged the most yards per play all the way down.
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: When they're the mouse, it's they're not they're not doing much.
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: So their first the twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen they
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: hard counted forty times. You can go back and watch
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: the film. They hard counted forty times twenty twenty one
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: six because it wasn't working right, because they couldn't steal
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: our signal, in their hard count it because we just
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: basically played this cat and mouse game with them and
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: didn't allow them to to be the mouse or to
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: be the cat every time.
- 1:44:15Speaker 3: When you're explaining this cat and mouse game to the coaches,
- 1:44:17Speaker 3: how receptive were they to, Hey, you.
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: Gotta very Mike McDonald is amazing. Yeah, I mean he
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: he's one of the smartest people I've been around. An
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: elite coach, right. He also empowered everyone. He's a great
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: leader and he would listen. So, I mean, it couldn't
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: have been any better having him there. He was. It
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: was huge.
- 1:44:44Speaker 4: Yeah, it's huge.
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: Is so basically he just you know, hey, I'm the DC.
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: I want to call the plays and focus on that.
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: I don't want to get my signal stolen. Can you
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: help me? Yeah, just you know, wait till it's a
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: green light. Okay, thanks.
- 1:45:00Speaker 4: Outside of the signal stuff, what situations were you in
- 1:45:03Speaker 4: charge of breaking down?
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: Well, in twenty one, I was still in the Marine Corps, okay,
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: so I was That's when I was flying back and forth.
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: So I mean I just showed up on game day okay,
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: and helped out twenty two when I get hired, you know,
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: recruiting and then recruiting signals and and then it involved
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: into helping out with the linebackers. Okay, nice formation breakdowns.
- 1:45:27Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I'm so fascinated, Like this is incredible.
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: Yeah, And if you want me to keep going, this
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: Ohio State thing. They weren't the cat one play in
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: twenty twenty two in Columbus, and they averaged six yards
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: per play, and then when they stole the wrong signal
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: because they hard counted, uh, they averaged five yards per play.
- 1:45:48Speaker 1: They scored one touchdown each in those situations. But it's funny.
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: There's a there's a video someone sent me of It's
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: like me by coach into twenty twenty two and Columbus
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: and some guy like is doing this breakdown. Sam, I'm saying,
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: run right, run right?
- 1:46:07Speaker 4: Oh you talk about where all eleven players just ran?
- 1:46:09Speaker 4: Do we have that clip that.
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: It wasn't even like, First of all, I'm saying Nike,
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: because that's what we called an opponent's heard count Nike.
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: And you can see the Nike board go up behind me.
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: We have a board in Nike basically tolling our you know,
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: safeties like don't show a shell. They're trying to steal
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: our signal right now, right right, and be ready for
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: us to change the call. So if they look, we're
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: going to change our call to make make sure they
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: stole the wrong sign.
- 1:46:36Speaker 4: This is the clip what we're talking about right here.
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: No, that was after one of their heart counts. You
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: see heart counts right there.
- 1:46:46Speaker 4: Yeah, and then Nike signed behind it.
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: And we had the Nike sign right. But there's a
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: different one where like some guy does this breakdown and
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: like he's trying to like read my lips and he says,
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: he's saying, run right, run right, that's what he's saying.
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: I'm saying right, but I'm saying Nike, Nike. And by
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: the way, the run was to the left, because it's
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: from the defense's perspective, right, Like, I'm not gonna say
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: it's a run of the right when they run it
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: to our left, but yes, I say Nike, And then
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: you can see them hard count. Look, they just stole
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: whatever we just signaled.
- 1:47:20Speaker 3: And the video in the group chat, Yeah, we'll pull
- 1:47:25Speaker 3: that up for sure, because there's you see so many
- 1:47:28Speaker 3: of these clips and videos of you and you're saying
- 1:47:30Speaker 3: something to somebody and everyone wants to freak out over it.
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: Out but I'm actually protecting our signals. That's the whole
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: point of what I was saying. I'm telling our coordinator
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: they are hard counting. Call a play. You don't want
- 1:47:45Speaker 1: to call because they're gonna they're trying to steal our signal.
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: So this is the clip right here.
- 1:47:50Speaker 4: Yes, they're saying Nike, Nike.
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: Yeah. You can see me say twin, why Twin, why Nike?
- 1:47:55Speaker 1: And there goes the Nike board. You saw it go up. Yeah,
- 1:47:59Speaker 1: and and you see Ohio State hard count. So now
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: they're all looking at the sideline. Now they're signaling, and
- 1:48:08Speaker 1: then we call our other place. So they just stole
- 1:48:11Speaker 1: the wrong signal and it goes for no yards.
- 1:48:14Speaker 4: Everybody, they're feasting break down the it's just tight end screen.
- 1:48:19Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I want to say the Houston, Texas heat stover.
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:48:24Speaker 4: And he said essentially like it's a formation we've never
- 1:48:29Speaker 4: done it out of, We've never ran this play out of.
- 1:48:32Speaker 4: And he was beside himself on figuring out how you
- 1:48:36Speaker 4: guys need that clip too.
- 1:48:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:48:40Speaker 4: Insane, incredible awareness by the defense and understanding that it
- 1:48:44Speaker 4: was a screen. Guys just in the film room.
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: Uh So, I don't remember what formation it was out
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: of But can we.
- 1:48:56Speaker 4: Pull that clip up before you explain it?
- 1:48:57Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:48:59Speaker 4: Yeah, just scroll up that one right there. Did they
- 1:49:07Speaker 4: show the play?
- 1:49:08Speaker 1: No, they don't, but we could. We could pull it up.
- 1:49:11Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, see yeah, trying to type. Yeah, I'm thinking
- 1:49:16Speaker 4: about it.
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: I had to be first half, first quarter because they're
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: going the same direction around the twenty five thirty yard line. Yeah,
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: somewhere in there. Who was right in front of us?
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: It was into the boundary in front of you.
- 1:49:35Speaker 3: Yes, correct, we're getting to you called this play that
- 1:49:38Speaker 3: they had not run before, but you were able to
- 1:49:41Speaker 3: decipher it. Is this one of your top five calls?
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: It is like, is this like a top fired? Though
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: it backfired? They get c J. Stroud turned around and
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: everyone was right there, and he scrambled and got it
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: first down or at least got significant yards. Frank's facetiming
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: me right now twenty two He answer it, dude. Frank
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: was a war daddy at Michigan. Frank, we're on the
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: bus right now. What are you doing?
- 1:50:18Speaker 4: What are you going to take house for?
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: What you doing?
- 1:50:25Speaker 4: That's awesome and well I hope you're doing well, brother.
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: Yeah, jump after yeah, say you all love that's funny.
- 1:50:36Speaker 1: I already gave him a shout out. Yeah, no doubt
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: that tight end screen. Yes whatever the formation said. You know,
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: here's the thing they Ohio State had like eight signalers,
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: eight signalers all year something like that, and everyone signals
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: the formation. Mistake number one, Like, I don't need to
- 1:50:59Speaker 1: know who's life to see what the formation. Anyone can
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: see that. Uh. Mistake number two, They never changed who
- 1:51:06Speaker 1: their live signaler was the entire season. So I guess
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: their condor stallions. Isn't that good? Then? Apparently not as good.
- 1:51:15Speaker 4: They didn't do it.
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: They didn't do no self scouting correct. So so and
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: here's here's the bottom line of you know, how how
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: can you be so good in game? I just realized
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: this is the clip right here? Yep, that's it? Slot Why?
- 1:51:36Speaker 4: Why?
- 1:51:38Speaker 1: So? I think they motioned into slot? Why? Why?
- 1:51:40Speaker 9: And then also that's a cup block you see a
- 1:51:43Speaker 9: cup by the pressure its penalty?
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just the signal, the signal for the slot
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: YY formation. And and then the guy who was live
- 1:52:03Speaker 1: the entire season signaled why delay? Am I supposed to
- 1:52:11Speaker 1: see that? And be like, oh, I don't know what
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: this is? Right? Right? Right? So you call it out,
- 1:52:16Speaker 1: I said, I think it's got to be a wide
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: delay screen.
- 1:52:19Speaker 4: God.
- 1:52:21Speaker 3: So we talked about Ohio State having their own Connor stallions.
- 1:52:26Speaker 3: How many of the Power now Power four conferences have.
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's got to be eighty to ninety.
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: But like the Big Ten before, well, I'm sure USC does,
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: I'm sure Washington probably does. Any team worth has. The
- 1:52:43Speaker 1: only two teams that to my understanding did not were
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: Iowa and Michigan State in the Big Ten. Nebraska when
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: we played them last year, this is like what two
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: games before I got suspended. They first of all, they
- 1:52:57Speaker 1: huddled almost every play. We want to go game by game.
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: Last year, ECU new you know, new signals because it's
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: game one, and they're the best at protecting. So we're
- 1:53:09Speaker 1: we're up thirty to nothing. Before I even started figuring
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: out what was going on. Next game was what un
- 1:53:14Speaker 1: l V They had one signaler, so that was easy.
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: Game three, Bowling Green, Uh, they were okay protecting. I
- 1:53:26Speaker 1: figured them out pretty early. Game four, Rutgers, they huddled
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: every single play. They're they're really good at getting signals,
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: so again you're really good, Like you know, we huddled.
- 1:53:41Speaker 3: Yeahs Nebraska handled business.
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: Yeah, we handled business.
- 1:53:46Speaker 4: So they're very good at protecting their players.
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: Very good because they're they're good at getting signals.
- 1:53:51Speaker 4: So they did you figure them out at all?
- 1:53:53Speaker 1: Well, like I know their guy, Yeah, so we both
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: First of all, Michigan offense, we don't. We don't. We
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: never really steal signals. We we huddle more than anyone
- 1:54:03Speaker 1: in the country, I think besides Air Force maybe or
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: whoever one of the service academies. But you don't see
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: Michigan go up temple all too much. But yeah, we
- 1:54:14Speaker 1: huddled every play, and they huddled every play. And then
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: after the game, I talked to their guy and we
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: just that was the ultimate stalemate.
- 1:54:20Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, And did you know him personally before the game?
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh yeah yeah. And then right after the game,
- 1:54:27Speaker 1: all right, right back to you know, whatever you need
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: help with, you know, let me know. I'll give you
- 1:54:31Speaker 1: what I got, and he gives me what he's got,
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: you know. And that happens every Sunday, right.
- 1:54:36Speaker 3: So every Sunday you essentially talk to the team you
- 1:54:39Speaker 3: just played their guy.
- 1:54:41Speaker 1: Anyone, and a lot of a lot of coaches do
- 1:54:43Speaker 1: that too. It's like, right, I'm sure the head coaches
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: exchange information with and not even just the team you
- 1:54:49Speaker 1: just played, like, you know, okay, uh, what Michigan's got
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: Illinois coming up? And Illinois already played Nebraska, So I
- 1:54:56Speaker 1: could call Nebraska's guy and be like, hey, what you
- 1:54:57Speaker 1: got in Illinois? Who do you play next? I'll give
- 1:54:59Speaker 1: you what I got on so and so. Right, that
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: happens all the time. And that's not just signals, that's decoordinators.
- 1:55:05Speaker 1: You know, hey, what plays did you like? What what
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: did you see? You know all that. So yeah, after
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: that Rutgers game, it was right back to all right,
- 1:55:16Speaker 1: we're friends now. We knew that was gonna happen. No
- 1:55:18Speaker 1: signals at all the entire game. And then the next
- 1:55:22Speaker 1: game was Nebraska and they did not signal until like
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: their third drive of the game. We were we were
- 1:55:31Speaker 1: already up fourteen nothing before their first signal.
- 1:55:34Speaker 4: Right, they had the third and one pick.
- 1:55:35Speaker 1: But the funniest thing was, you know, most teams have
- 1:55:39Speaker 1: boards that either sometimes it means formation, sometimes it tells
- 1:55:43Speaker 1: you which signaler is live. It could mean many different things. Uh,
- 1:55:48Speaker 1: Nebraska's boards told you which signaler was live. And they
- 1:55:52Speaker 1: had these quadrants and pictures in each quadrant and most
- 1:55:56Speaker 1: of the pictures. I'm sure it didn't mean anything, but
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: one of the boards they had had my Heights school
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: logo on it.
- 1:56:01Speaker 4: No ship nice, so they knew.
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: It was pretty funny. We all know, we all know
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: who each other are, so that was probably just a funny.
- 1:56:08Speaker 4: Like yeah, hm, look at any other intel with Nebraska, No.
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: Who they play next week?
- 1:56:20Speaker 4: We it's a bye week.
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: But then Indiana, Indiana, that's a good game. Yeah, where
- 1:56:25Speaker 1: is it at Indiana?
- 1:56:26Speaker 4: What kind of what kind of information can you give
- 1:56:28Speaker 4: us in Indiana?
- 1:56:29Speaker 1: Uh, give me a week.
- 1:56:32Speaker 4: I was gonna say for your text you go back
- 1:56:34Speaker 4: to the j m U stuff.
- 1:56:35Speaker 1: Yeah, with who is it?
- 1:56:37Speaker 4: Signetti?
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: He's really good. And then the next game after Rutgers
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: last year as Minnesota, they huddled every play.
- 1:56:47Speaker 4: And then you guys body bag.
- 1:56:48Speaker 1: And then and then Indiana, Uh, they were decent at
- 1:56:52Speaker 1: protecting their signals. And then and then I wasn't there.
- 1:56:57Speaker 4: What did Michigan have a signal steeler before you?
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: No? So that again there when I went from Navy
- 1:57:03Speaker 1: to there, like once I was in the Marine Corps.
- 1:57:08Speaker 1: It was twenty eighteen was the start of it. I
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: it was maybe week four five. I think actually the
- 1:57:13Speaker 1: last game I was not the last game I was
- 1:57:18Speaker 1: in the stands for. May have been Michigan Nebraska in
- 1:57:21Speaker 1: like twenty eighteen. Maybe it was Northwestern, I don't remember
- 1:57:24Speaker 1: who it was. It was one of those two teams. Yeah,
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: and then after that I'm on the field, you know,
- 1:57:28Speaker 1: because I asked, well, I was there for a two
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: week kind of limbo period between training and being stationed
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: in California, and so I asked, like, Hey, what can
- 1:57:37Speaker 1: I do on game day? And they're like, I don't know,
- 1:57:40Speaker 1: what do you think? I said, well, I mean I
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: did this in Navy. I'm going to try that. And
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, sure, I don't think we have anyone
- 1:57:46Speaker 1: doing that, and just ran with it. I don't. I
- 1:57:54Speaker 1: don't know about that.
- 1:57:55Speaker 3: Well, let me ask the question, because did anyone from
- 1:57:58Speaker 3: South Carolina get signs from you to steal from Tennessee
- 1:58:02Speaker 3: and Georgia.
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: I don't know anyone at South Carolina. Now here's what
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: I'll say. There's this whole like a giant circle of
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: the intel guys right that know each other, right, and
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: you're usually one or two phone calls away from anyone
- 1:58:21Speaker 1: you want, right, Like if we played. We played Georgia
- 1:58:26Speaker 1: in twenty one in the Orange Bowl, and I got
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: a hold of a couple SEC teams that were playing
- 1:58:36Speaker 1: Big ten teams in their bowl game, and so I'd
- 1:58:39Speaker 1: give them what I had on them, and they give
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: me what they had on Georgia. Also, this is my favorite,
- 1:58:47Speaker 1: So trading happens all the time. Right, twenty twenty one,
- 1:58:50Speaker 1: we lose the Michigan State Kenneth Walker a great game,
- 1:58:53Speaker 1: played fantastic yep, and we needed some help. Right, they
- 1:58:57Speaker 1: had to lose twice and we had to Michigan State
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: had to lose twice, and then that would have resulted
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: in having a three way tie or no, we would
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: have beaten Ohio State and then it would just been
- 1:59:11Speaker 1: US Ohio State because then Michigan State would not have
- 1:59:13Speaker 1: been in that three way tie. And they lost to Purdue,
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: and then I think it was the next week they
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: played Ohio State. The week before we played Ohio State,
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: and so we needed Ohio State to win. So I
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: gave Michigan State signals to a buddy of mine and said, hey,
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: I changed all the logos. It looked I made it
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: look like it came from a different school that I don't.
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: I don't want to give Ohio State something from Michigan. Right,
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: they might not use it, who knows, but we need
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: Ohio State to win. And I know they steal a
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: crap out of defensive signals. So here you go. So
- 1:59:46Speaker 1: I made it. I gave it to a buddy who
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: may have given it to a buddy who then gave
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: it to Ohio State and said telephone, yep, I got
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: this from so and so, you know, name your school, university,
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: and yeah, so they got I'm sure they probably already
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: had him, but it just confirmed everything. But yeah, and
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: then they won like sixty to nothing, and that's all
- 2:00:10Speaker 1: you needed. Yep.
- 2:00:11Speaker 3: Does in this in this world of trading, does anybody
- 2:00:15Speaker 3: ever trade their own schools information?
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: I have no idea. That'd be crazy, but.
- 2:00:24Speaker 4: You never know, right because I'm assuming like trade their
- 2:00:27Speaker 4: own schools information.
- 2:00:28Speaker 3: Right, Like I'm assuming not everybody was as massive a
- 2:00:32Speaker 3: fan of the school they worked for like you were.
- 2:00:35Speaker 3: So I know that, you know, just like corrupt politicians.
- 2:00:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure.
- 2:00:39Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it past certain people.
- 2:00:42Speaker 4: I'm gonna throw one out there, go ahead, Lineberry coach
- 2:00:44Speaker 4: got fired last year. Yeah, or he resigned and then
- 2:00:46Speaker 4: when Gama fired No.
- 2:00:49Speaker 1: That was that was two years ago coach. No, No, that
- 2:00:51Speaker 1: was that that was last year time last year. No,
- 2:00:54Speaker 1: but he so it was at the end of twenty
- 2:00:55Speaker 1: twenty two. He wasn't at Michigan during the twenty three season.
- 2:01:01Speaker 4: Wasn't somebody at Michigan during last year? Not during the season,
- 2:01:05Speaker 4: and their computer kind of got found grenade the computer
- 2:01:08Speaker 4: and then they they went to Alabama.
- 2:01:10Speaker 1: M h that you're you're mixing stories right now, Okay,
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: can you help differentiate the stories? Would that George Hilo
- 2:01:17Speaker 1: as a linebacker coach in twenty twenty two? He was
- 2:01:20Speaker 1: not at Michigan in twenty three and then was hired
- 2:01:23Speaker 1: by Obama before our game, But he was like eleven
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: months removed or whatever. Got you? I don't quote man exactly.
- 2:01:30Speaker 4: Right, And you you assumed the reason why he was
- 2:01:33Speaker 4: hired by Alabama right before?
- 2:01:36Speaker 1: Well, yeah, why wouldn't you have heard him earlier in
- 2:01:38Speaker 1: the year, right because Alabama was trying to cheat?
- 2:01:42Speaker 4: I'll say it. I mean it's just like in the
- 2:01:44Speaker 4: NFL if somebody like, yeah, if I were to be
- 2:01:47Speaker 4: playing for Washington, I get cut and then the Eagles bring
- 2:01:49Speaker 4: me in right away, and they want to just know
- 2:01:51Speaker 4: like what they operate.
- 2:01:53Speaker 3: Yeah, you're you're squealing like a pig.
- 2:01:56Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 2:01:56Speaker 4: When I when I when I came to the Titans,
- 2:01:58Speaker 4: I was in the offensive room with Lafleur and then
- 2:02:00Speaker 4: breaking down the Washington breaking down Washington defense, how we
- 2:02:04Speaker 4: played cover one and how we did things in the
- 2:02:05Speaker 4: red zone, how we played triangle when it was three
- 2:02:09Speaker 4: by one, like all that stuff. You want to win.
- 2:02:13Speaker 4: I mean, at the end of the day, you want
- 2:02:14Speaker 4: to win.
- 2:02:15Speaker 3: I want to keep breaking down this this crazy underground
- 2:02:19Speaker 3: world of trading different teams information. When did you become
- 2:02:22Speaker 3: aware of this?
- 2:02:23Speaker 1: Uh? Eighteen twenty eighteen is when you found out there's
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: a navy. Yeah. I never no one ever really talked
- 2:02:32Speaker 1: to me from other saa.
- 2:02:34Speaker 4: Yeah you want to help, We're good.
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate you. I just got killed.
- 2:02:42Speaker 4: Yah.
- 2:02:43Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys still shit. Twenty eighteen it was after
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: after the regular season. I think it was after that.
- 2:02:54Speaker 1: I got a call someone asking for some stuff on
- 2:02:56Speaker 1: some certain teams. Yeah, and that's when I was like, wait,
- 2:03:00Speaker 1: what what teams?
- 2:03:04Speaker 4: What teams were calling about?
- 2:03:05Speaker 1: What teams? Again, I shouldn't read anyone Okay.
- 2:03:09Speaker 4: We're gonna take a quick moment and interrupt this episode.
- 2:03:12Speaker 4: This football season, don't walk around with helmet hair like
- 2:03:14Speaker 4: a total rookie. You've been in the game long enough
- 2:03:17Speaker 4: to know that how you wear your hair matters, and
- 2:03:19Speaker 4: just because your team's mascot is a wolverine doesn't mean
- 2:03:22Speaker 4: you should look like one. Up top, keep your head
- 2:03:24Speaker 4: in the game and go to sport Clips. They are
- 2:03:26Speaker 4: pro stylists that have mastered the x's and o's of
- 2:03:30Speaker 4: men's hair, so you can get a tight fade. Well
- 2:03:31Speaker 4: kicking back and watch us some fade routes on TV.
- 2:03:34Speaker 4: They'll have a perfectly crafted game plan to make you
- 2:03:36Speaker 4: look your best, no halftime adjustments needed. Remember the difference
- 2:03:40Speaker 4: between an okay cut and a great cut is called
- 2:03:43Speaker 4: sport clips. It is a game changer. Back to this episode,
- 2:03:46Speaker 4: tea breaks.
- 2:03:47Speaker 3: Have been taken by Connor and by Will. I had
- 2:03:48Speaker 3: this protein bar and let me give a shameless shoutout,
- 2:03:51Speaker 3: real quick, dude, to Alpha Alpha ten.
- 2:03:53Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
- 2:03:54Speaker 4: Alpha ten?
- 2:03:55Speaker 3: No free shadouts, However, this is like a mom and
- 2:03:57Speaker 3: pop shop type thing to get off a nation. Chelsea
- 2:03:59Speaker 3: very delicious, sticks to your teeth coats, the throat, coats
- 2:04:04Speaker 3: the throat this. So there's been so much Obviously, the
- 2:04:12Speaker 3: landscape of college football and how you do play calling
- 2:04:14Speaker 3: has changed so much, and a lot of it has
- 2:04:16Speaker 3: to do with what happened last year with Michigan and
- 2:04:17Speaker 3: everything like that.
- 2:04:18Speaker 1: That you are pointy fingers at you. I don't think
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: anything is people people didn't People in football didn't change much. Yeah,
- 2:04:28Speaker 1: it's just the media perception.
- 2:04:30Speaker 3: So but because now they're going to the comps times,
- 2:04:33Speaker 3: so is it much more difficult to steal?
- 2:04:35Speaker 1: So it's actually signal seiling is happening more now. So
- 2:04:41Speaker 1: remember I explained the whole you know, how how it evolved,
- 2:04:45Speaker 1: how it works in the difference between the NFL and
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: college it's just because of the tempo. I mean, shoot,
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: NFL teams still signal some not all the time, but
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: like if they ever want to go tempo, they signal, yeah,
- 2:04:57Speaker 1: go Temple, you gotta signal. Sometimes it's the coach to
- 2:05:01Speaker 1: the quarterback and then the quarterback signals to the receivers
- 2:05:04Speaker 1: and tells everyone in the core. Or some teams have
- 2:05:07Speaker 1: signalers on the sideline that are ready to signal anytime
- 2:05:10Speaker 1: they want to go tempo. That's the league though. College
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: now that new helmet communications. It's not a rule, right,
- 2:05:22Speaker 1: it's not a mandate, it's just a feature. It's a tool.
- 2:05:26Speaker 1: So now coaches can talk to the quarterbacks. That doesn't
- 2:05:30Speaker 1: mean they have to signal or or that doesn't mean
- 2:05:33Speaker 1: they have to huddle or that they want to huddle.
- 2:05:35Speaker 1: So what's happening now, and this isn't for everyone, but
- 2:05:39Speaker 1: a lot of teams are doing this. Is now they
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: are continuing to go up tempo, and they are stealing
- 2:05:47Speaker 1: the defensive signal and now they can just talk to
- 2:05:49Speaker 1: the quarterback up until fifteen seconds and tell them exactly
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: what's coming. So, hey, they're blitzing the nickel, they're dropping
- 2:05:56Speaker 1: the boundary in, throw the slant to the slot. Whatever
- 2:05:58Speaker 1: it is. Now you can do that. Uh, there's already
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna say who. It's not a
- 2:06:04Speaker 1: Big ten school, but there's already been a team that
- 2:06:07Speaker 1: has had bluetooth to the quarterback for years. No shit, really,
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: I guess I'm not even I'm not gonna tell you
- 2:06:15Speaker 1: if you're cold. It's just not in the Big ten.
- 2:06:19Speaker 4: It's a Big ten team.
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: It's a powerful, powerful, Power five what do you want
- 2:06:22Speaker 1: to call it? Time? Yeah?
- 2:06:24Speaker 3: Is it irrelevant?
- 2:06:25Speaker 1: So like why you know the officials aren't going to
- 2:06:27Speaker 1: check to see if there's bluetooth because in ninety nine
- 2:06:32Speaker 1: percent of people's minds, you would only have bluetooth to
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: huddle up, when in reality you have bluetooth to tell
- 2:06:40Speaker 1: the QB what the defensive signal is. Now that's happening
- 2:06:43Speaker 1: a lot. So it's I mean, it's funny. I've I've
- 2:06:46Speaker 1: gotten phone calls from teams asking if I still have
- 2:06:48Speaker 1: so and so's signals and whatnot? Really uh, and I'm
- 2:06:51Speaker 1: not even you know, technically in it right now, technically
- 2:06:56Speaker 1: technically Uh. And then I mean, shoot, I have gone
- 2:07:02Speaker 1: to every Michigan game and everyone we played has signaled
- 2:07:07Speaker 1: really on offense.
- 2:07:09Speaker 4: And you are you're still sitting Minnesota did not, they
- 2:07:12Speaker 4: didn't last year, but everyone else sitting in the stands
- 2:07:15Speaker 4: and you can see the signal color and so you
- 2:07:17Speaker 4: essentially know what's happening.
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: Uh. You know, when I'm at the Michigan games now,
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: I'm just there to enjoy it when I know I'm
- 2:07:25Speaker 1: obviously aware enough to see, oh they're signaling. And for example,
- 2:07:28Speaker 1: like USC when we played USC, you know, it's the
- 2:07:31Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley offense. It's the same as his brother Garrett
- 2:07:34Speaker 1: Riley when he was at TCU and now Clemson. I
- 2:07:38Speaker 1: was even remembering some of the stuff like, oh, wait,
- 2:07:40Speaker 1: isn't this this is just all go special and it
- 2:07:42Speaker 1: was right. You know, they're not they're not changing their signals.
- 2:07:48Speaker 1: Maybe a few, but like Texas, they they signaled every
- 2:07:53Speaker 1: single play the whole game. And you know, again it's
- 2:07:59Speaker 1: or or definitely at a disadvantage now because we don't
- 2:08:02Speaker 1: have our signal guy and everyone else has theirs. So
- 2:08:06Speaker 1: you know, it goes back to that cat cat mouse game.
- 2:08:08Speaker 1: So you've not become the mouse in every situation. Yeah,
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: unless you make sure you signal second. So and there's
- 2:08:17Speaker 1: we didn't make sure we're doing that if or not.
- 2:08:18Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you see out of Michigan this year?
- 2:08:23Speaker 4: Is I mean outside of not having a quarterback, well, you.
- 2:08:27Speaker 1: Have fifteen guys or whatever that we lost the league, right,
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: Like that's not easy? Yeah, okay, and then you lose
- 2:08:36Speaker 1: your strength coach, your entire defensive staff. You know, you're
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: obviously your head coach. It's it's gonna be a step back,
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: you know, it's not it's not that easy to maintain
- 2:08:50Speaker 1: success when you when when that happens. Yeah, I think. Uh,
- 2:08:57Speaker 1: I watched your video yesterday. You know, I'm still optimistic too,
- 2:09:01Speaker 1: and I.
- 2:09:02Speaker 3: Told you not to watch. I told nobody to watch
- 2:09:05Speaker 3: correct for people just.
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: To have correct I heard someone else watching it stole that. Ye,
- 2:09:13Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I think well won the bye
- 2:09:16Speaker 1: week couldn't come in any better time, well timed bye week.
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: There's a lot of parody in college football this year,
- 2:09:28Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, that must be a product of nil
- 2:09:31Speaker 1: and the portal in full effect now. But you know,
- 2:09:36Speaker 1: other than Texas and I mean, I guess Ohio State
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: that they beat they did beat Iowa, But has anyone
- 2:09:43Speaker 1: else looked really good every single week? Right?
- 2:09:49Speaker 4: In your opinion, you feel like because you were on
- 2:09:51Speaker 4: that side of it, you were also in recruiting. Do
- 2:09:52Speaker 4: you feel like Michigan is doing what they need to
- 2:09:54Speaker 4: do in the whole portal game with the nil and
- 2:09:56Speaker 4: everything else.
- 2:09:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the issue at the portal that a
- 2:09:59Speaker 1: lot of people are voicing their opinions now and they're
- 2:10:03Speaker 1: upset about you know, why did we not get someone
- 2:10:06Speaker 1: at this position in that position? Well, the portal was
- 2:10:11Speaker 1: closed by the time, Like, something's got to happen in
- 2:10:15Speaker 1: college football because if you make the playoffs, you are
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: screwed for the portal for the following season because the
- 2:10:23Speaker 1: portal time frame is while you're prepping for the playoffs.
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: So your players aren't announcing if they're leaving or not.
- 2:10:30Speaker 1: So how do you recruit a guy and convince him
- 2:10:33Speaker 1: to come to Michigan when that guy, for all he knows, like, well,
- 2:10:37Speaker 1: so and so isn't leaving, And how do you tell him, Oh,
- 2:10:40Speaker 1: he is going to leave? But then what if he
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: doesn't leave, you know, And that's not that's not on
- 2:10:46Speaker 1: a kid either, Like like JJ for example, you can't
- 2:10:51Speaker 1: expect him to make an announcement during the playoffs about
- 2:10:54Speaker 1: if he's going to go to the league.
- 2:10:55Speaker 4: Right.
- 2:10:55Speaker 1: He's not thinking about that, right, He's just in the moment,
- 2:10:59Speaker 1: and that's that's who he is, right And that's also
- 2:11:01Speaker 1: who he should be for the team in that moment.
- 2:11:03Speaker 1: But he's not. Yeah, I mean, maybe there's backdoor conversations
- 2:11:07Speaker 1: with his family, but he's not going to make some
- 2:11:08Speaker 1: announcement saying, you know, hey, I'm gonna leave after this game.
- 2:11:12Speaker 1: So that's an issue. The timing of everything, because then
- 2:11:16Speaker 1: it's like, you know, are they students or are they athletes?
- 2:11:19Speaker 1: Because the semester starting in January is really what why
- 2:11:24Speaker 1: the portal from my understanding, why the portal closes at
- 2:11:28Speaker 1: that time and then it just opens up for a
- 2:11:30Speaker 1: couple of days. But everyone that you would want.
- 2:11:33Speaker 3: Is all the all the best players are gone. Now
- 2:11:38Speaker 3: you're getting the tier two, two or three guys.
- 2:11:41Speaker 1: So you know, Sharon is definitely the man for the job.
- 2:11:46Speaker 1: He is an elite leader. Everyone loves him. Great dude
- 2:11:50Speaker 1: loves football. Like I remember, you know, if it's one
- 2:11:56Speaker 1: a m. And you're on your grind watching film, whatever
- 2:12:00Speaker 1: you're doing, and you go to the bathroom or you
- 2:12:02Speaker 1: go get water whatever and come back. And he was
- 2:12:06Speaker 1: always one of the like three people that were there
- 2:12:08Speaker 1: that late. Still yes, still about it, all about it.
- 2:12:13Speaker 3: So, I mean, it seems like we're gonna they're gonna
- 2:12:16Speaker 3: have a chance to do the portal this year, not
- 2:12:18Speaker 3: making the playoffs.
- 2:12:20Speaker 4: If they don't make the playoffs, correct, we'll have time, Correct,
- 2:12:24Speaker 4: we'll be able to reload for next year, is what
- 2:12:25Speaker 4: you're saying. Correct, Now, is anybody sitting in the seat
- 2:12:29Speaker 4: you were sitting in last year at Michigan.
- 2:12:31Speaker 1: Now they don't have that anymore with the signals, Yeah,
- 2:12:34Speaker 1: not to my knowledge.
- 2:12:35Speaker 4: What else outside of signals? Obviously you're known for being
- 2:12:38Speaker 4: the signal master, but I think everyone understands that, Like
- 2:12:41Speaker 4: signal stealing is like you're trying to gain whatever advantage
- 2:12:44Speaker 4: you can. Like every every locker room, every meeting I've
- 2:12:48Speaker 4: been in, you're trying to break down whether it's coaches
- 2:12:50Speaker 4: copy or TV copies. You got somebody up there giving
- 2:12:53Speaker 4: a presentation on signals. Whether whatever you do with it
- 2:12:55Speaker 4: is ultimately up to you, depends on how much information
- 2:12:57Speaker 4: you can retain. But what else outside of the spectrum
- 2:13:00Speaker 4: of signals was kind of like your bread and butter?
- 2:13:03Speaker 4: Was it like two minute drills or situations in there?
- 2:13:05Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, you know, one of the beauties at Michigan,
- 2:13:10Speaker 1: coach Harbaugh hired a great staff to recruit great players,
- 2:13:15Speaker 1: and he just empowered his staff, So there was a
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: lot of overlap between. Like you know, it wasn't like
- 2:13:24Speaker 1: if on paper, I'm a recruiting guy, I wasn't only
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: doing recruiting right, or or if you're a defensive analyst,
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: you're not only breaking down third down or people helping
- 2:13:36Speaker 1: each other out a lot, filling in gaps when needed.
- 2:13:40Speaker 1: But during the season it was you know, a little
- 2:13:43Speaker 1: bit of recruiting mostly. You know, I was in every
- 2:13:48Speaker 1: defensive staff meeting. You know, you're game planning. I'm breaking
- 2:13:52Speaker 1: down film prepping linebacker meetings for coach Partridge, so you know,
- 2:13:58Speaker 1: because it's it's a race, right like every The thing
- 2:14:01Speaker 1: that people don't realize is every I know, you guys
- 2:14:03Speaker 1: realize it, but from Sunday morning to kick off on Saturday,
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: it's literally who can prepare faster than their opponent. And
- 2:14:15Speaker 1: you know, the linebacker coach, for example, should not be
- 2:14:18Speaker 1: the guy that is going in and finding the specific
- 2:14:22Speaker 1: clips for the meeting. He's the one coaching the clips
- 2:14:26Speaker 1: you are going through. Like so I would go through
- 2:14:28Speaker 1: the film and pick out, you know, what he wanted
- 2:14:32Speaker 1: for the linebacker meeting for example, stuff like that, and
- 2:14:36Speaker 1: also breaking down opponents, so like I was mentioning that
- 2:14:39Speaker 1: formation tendency stuff like that, you know, because every so
- 2:14:42Speaker 1: like you know, Monday for the linebackers might be you know,
- 2:14:46Speaker 1: first and second down, what do they do on first
- 2:14:48Speaker 1: and second down? Tuesdays may be you know, a short
- 2:14:52Speaker 1: yardage goal line Wednesdays might be third and long whatever
- 2:14:56Speaker 1: it is, however, you break that down, and so I
- 2:14:58Speaker 1: would prepare the meetings for the backers, you know, every day,
- 2:15:05Speaker 1: and then you know the signal stuff because that was
- 2:15:09Speaker 1: again you know, it was just a portion of the job.
- 2:15:12Speaker 1: Is something I just did anytime I didn't have, like
- 2:15:16Speaker 1: I had some free time to Okay, we're done prepping
- 2:15:19Speaker 1: for linebacker meetings practices in an hour, I'm gonna I'm
- 2:15:22Speaker 1: gonna crank out an hour of this and then I
- 2:15:25Speaker 1: try to finish that by Tuesdays usually Wednesday, and then
- 2:15:30Speaker 1: give myself two days to memorize everything, memorize my sheet,
- 2:15:34Speaker 1: you know, feel comfortable with it, and you know the
- 2:15:38Speaker 1: tough part. It's this goes for everyone though, right because again,
- 2:15:42Speaker 1: you play your opponent and then you're done. So for me,
- 2:15:46Speaker 1: it was play your opponent. I'm not I'm not kidding.
- 2:15:50Speaker 1: Maybe with the exception of like Ohio State and Michigan State,
- 2:15:52Speaker 1: I might remember a few, but an hour after the game,
- 2:15:56Speaker 1: I could not tell you a single signal that I
- 2:15:58Speaker 1: just member for that game because it's onto whoever, right,
- 2:16:04Speaker 1: Like I don't care about as president as possible, Yes,
- 2:16:07Speaker 1: so and usually I would try to get a couple
- 2:16:09Speaker 1: of days ahead, So like if I fit, let's just say, uh,
- 2:16:15Speaker 1: you know, let's say I were there now and we're
- 2:16:16Speaker 1: playing Illinois in a couple of weeks after the bye
- 2:16:19Speaker 1: and then who's after them, Michigan State. Yeah, so I
- 2:16:22Speaker 1: would try to finish Illinois. Well, pretend there's no bye week,
- 2:16:25Speaker 1: Pretend we're in Illinois week right now. I would try
- 2:16:27Speaker 1: to finish them by Tuesday, maybe Wednesday at the latest,
- 2:16:31Speaker 1: and then by Thursday morning. It's like two separate mind
- 2:16:37Speaker 1: frames where one I am calmly memorizing my sheet for
- 2:16:42Speaker 1: the Illinois game and also getting ahead with Michigan State
- 2:16:46Speaker 1: so I can finish them by the following Tuesday, because
- 2:16:48Speaker 1: I always want to give myself a couple of days
- 2:16:50Speaker 1: to because I'm sure everyone does, you know, for everything
- 2:16:53Speaker 1: they do, whether it be coordinating a play calling or
- 2:16:56Speaker 1: coaching your position or being an actual player, like you
- 2:16:59Speaker 1: want at least have. You don't want to be like
- 2:17:00Speaker 1: racing all the way up until kickoff and your mind's
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: going a thousand different directions. So that is kind of
- 2:17:07Speaker 1: how I scheduled everything for myself.
- 2:17:09Speaker 3: When you so like during the week, you say, like Yeah,
- 2:17:12Speaker 3: Like in the league, it would be like Wednesday would
- 2:17:14Speaker 3: be like first and second down, Thursday would be ye
- 2:17:17Speaker 3: all third downs, yeah then yeah, then the red zone
- 2:17:20Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But we'd have assistant coaches like
- 2:17:23Speaker 3: Mike Sullivan would always break down front the entire offense.
- 2:17:26Speaker 3: These are the blitzes these teams do. Did you ever
- 2:17:29Speaker 3: get to sit in front of the entire defense?
- 2:17:30Speaker 1: And no, because I was an analyst and up until
- 2:17:35Speaker 1: this year, uh, analysts could not do like on field
- 2:17:41Speaker 1: and you know, could not instruct players or anything like that.
- 2:17:43Speaker 1: You could only assist the coaches. So I would prepare
- 2:17:49Speaker 1: like I would help coach Partridge for example, you know
- 2:17:51Speaker 1: if he had short yardage goal line, I would help
- 2:17:53Speaker 1: him prepare the clips for that and the organization of
- 2:17:57Speaker 1: that meeting.
- 2:17:58Speaker 4: Yeah, are there there are a couple of defensive players
- 2:18:02Speaker 4: that gravitated towards all the information and knowledge you had
- 2:18:05Speaker 4: of the.
- 2:18:05Speaker 1: X's and o's. I mean, the.
- 2:18:09Speaker 4: Guys that understand it in the.
- 2:18:11Speaker 1: D H A lot of the players, I mean, even
- 2:18:14Speaker 1: like Mikey Sanders still is uh. I mean, I've I've
- 2:18:19Speaker 1: learned some of the defense from him. You know, like
- 2:18:22Speaker 1: some of these you know, these guys are really smart,
- 2:18:24Speaker 1: great leaders. He's Mikey's probably the best non military leader
- 2:18:29Speaker 1: I've ever been around. Really, Yes, he is. Uh, he's
- 2:18:34Speaker 1: that guy. I mean, you know, he started as a
- 2:18:36Speaker 1: receiver and then yeah, flashbacks, he had that nice catch,
- 2:18:41Speaker 1: that diving catch in Lincoln, Nebraska that night game as
- 2:18:45Speaker 1: a receiver, and then the very next year changes to
- 2:18:49Speaker 1: nickel and he's our starting nickel and one of the
- 2:18:51Speaker 1: best Nickels in the country. Just like that. But I mean,
- 2:18:55Speaker 1: he's a guy that he led by example and he
- 2:18:58Speaker 1: was not afraid to check anyone. But I mean I
- 2:19:01Speaker 1: was close with a lot of the players because it
- 2:19:03Speaker 1: is like a brotherhood. You know. I was what like
- 2:19:04Speaker 1: twenty seven years old, twenty one years old at the time,
- 2:19:07Speaker 1: and they're anywhere from eighteen to twenty three, So I'm
- 2:19:09Speaker 1: closer in age to them than they are to the coach,
- 2:19:13Speaker 1: like the full time coaches. So yeah, I was pretty
- 2:19:17Speaker 1: close with the majority of the team. It truly was
- 2:19:20Speaker 1: like a family atmosphere where I mean everyone got along
- 2:19:27Speaker 1: with everyone, And that goes back to coach Harbaugh hiring
- 2:19:31Speaker 1: a great staff and that great staff recruiting just the
- 2:19:35Speaker 1: right people.
- 2:19:37Speaker 3: I know, we're getting kind of close to that hour
- 2:19:39Speaker 3: thirty mark right now. I had a question about EXOS,
- 2:19:43Speaker 3: and I heard a rumor that there was pirrating videos
- 2:19:47Speaker 3: going on from Exos, the film company that was actually pirrating,
- 2:19:52Speaker 3: taking Michigan's practice film and giving it to other Big
- 2:19:55Speaker 3: Ten teams. Do you have any knowledge of that at all?
- 2:19:59Speaker 1: I don't know, oh what Exo's role would be or
- 2:20:04Speaker 1: allegedly and that is allegedly. Yeah, well, most most teams, yeah,
- 2:20:08Speaker 1: have have Exos. There's DV sport too. All I'll say
- 2:20:15Speaker 1: is I have seen other Big Ten schools signals. I'm
- 2:20:22Speaker 1: talking the original signal film that was fit like a
- 2:20:24Speaker 1: ga doing the signals in the quarterback room right like
- 2:20:27Speaker 1: the players would have on catapult to study. I've seen
- 2:20:33Speaker 1: other teams signals of that that. The people who showed
- 2:20:39Speaker 1: me that claim they got it from Ohio State. Oh interesting,
- 2:20:46Speaker 1: I've seen that with my own eyes. So people that
- 2:20:49Speaker 1: have the play calls, like Ohio State for example, may
- 2:20:53Speaker 1: have traded that to someone for a different team's signals
- 2:20:59Speaker 1: or whatnot, and that someone may have may have shown me. Dude,
- 2:21:04Speaker 1: you better be careful because look at what they got.
- 2:21:07Speaker 3: And I'm like, they made you aware of correct, yes,
- 2:21:12Speaker 3: and that's probably illegal, right.
- 2:21:14Speaker 1: I'm not a lawyer.
- 2:21:20Speaker 4: I have a question your manifesto, what what was the
- 2:21:24Speaker 4: foundation of it? Like for you philosophy wise, like, how
- 2:21:27Speaker 4: did you start building out the manifesto? Obviously from military
- 2:21:29Speaker 4: background you talked about the coaches in the past, but
- 2:21:32Speaker 4: you yourself putting this thing together?
- 2:21:33Speaker 1: What foundation was it built off of the best way
- 2:21:38Speaker 1: to explain that is it's organized how I would organize
- 2:21:43Speaker 1: a football program, which is very military like in like
- 2:21:48Speaker 1: a chain of command, like a staff org chart, you know,
- 2:21:52Speaker 1: or usually in groups of three, where like you have
- 2:21:56Speaker 1: the head coach and headquarters, and then under them you
- 2:22:00Speaker 1: have the football staff, the operations staff, and so on.
- 2:22:06Speaker 1: Within the football staff, that would be like anything related
- 2:22:11Speaker 1: to football itself. So I grew break that into three
- 2:22:13Speaker 1: different categories. Personnel, so scouting, recruiting, the actual x's and
- 2:22:20Speaker 1: O so often stephen special teams, and then player performance,
- 2:22:23Speaker 1: which is strain the conditioning, you know, trainers and stuff
- 2:22:27Speaker 1: like that, nutrition, and then each of those has a
- 2:22:31Speaker 1: broken down subcategory. So if you gave me a thought
- 2:22:33Speaker 1: on like, hey, I saw this really good thing that
- 2:22:38Speaker 1: such and such a school was doing with their nutrition program.
- 2:22:43Speaker 1: I would just go boom bom, boom boom, there's a
- 2:22:46Speaker 1: nutrition section, and I got all my organized notes and
- 2:22:49Speaker 1: I'd put it in there. And if you were asked,
- 2:22:51Speaker 1: if you were to ask me, how would you run
- 2:22:54Speaker 1: your how would the logistics work for your operations department?
- 2:22:59Speaker 1: Give me five seconds, I'll show you boom boom boom,
- 2:23:03Speaker 1: and then there's all my notes on that. And that's
- 2:23:07Speaker 1: kind of you know, it's just it's a really good book,
- 2:23:11Speaker 1: Getting Things Done, by David Allen. It's about how in
- 2:23:18Speaker 1: order to actually apply something that you learn or see,
- 2:23:23Speaker 1: or whether it be a quote or you know, something
- 2:23:27Speaker 1: from a book, something from a movie, something from a conversation,
- 2:23:31Speaker 1: you have to first be able to capture it, so
- 2:23:35Speaker 1: write it down. Then you have to take that captured
- 2:23:38Speaker 1: thought and be able to organize it. That's like my
- 2:23:42Speaker 1: organized notes, the Michigan Manifesto, and then you have to
- 2:23:46Speaker 1: be able to reference it though. So that's why that's
- 2:23:50Speaker 1: the beauty of if you're super organized, then I can
- 2:23:53Speaker 1: always go back to that, like, for example, if I
- 2:23:56Speaker 1: read a book on leadership, for example, there might be
- 2:24:00Speaker 1: a quote about something that's not necessarily specifically you know, leadership.
- 2:24:05Speaker 1: It might be about there could be a football some
- 2:24:11Speaker 1: football quote or something, and you got to be able
- 2:24:15Speaker 1: to every time I read a book, I read the book,
- 2:24:19Speaker 1: take all my notes, and then I go through the
- 2:24:22Speaker 1: book again and everything I highlighted or underlined or wrote,
- 2:24:26Speaker 1: I put that where it belongs in the manifesto, so
- 2:24:31Speaker 1: then I can reference it without having to remember what
- 2:24:33Speaker 1: book was that from. It was a quote about football,
- 2:24:36Speaker 1: but it was in a leadership book. Like no, I
- 2:24:38Speaker 1: just go to the football section and there's the quote.
- 2:24:41Speaker 1: I couldn't dream to be this organized. I could not.
- 2:24:45Speaker 1: And the beauty of it, too is I can talk
- 2:24:47Speaker 1: about that. You know, probably never give away the Michigan Manifesto,
- 2:24:50Speaker 1: but I can talk about it and no one will
- 2:24:53Speaker 1: be able to duplicate it because I'm already fifteen years ahead,
- 2:24:57Speaker 1: right right, How luck?
- 2:25:02Speaker 4: How did it develop over the years from the organization?
- 2:25:08Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? And and it's a Google doc now, and
- 2:25:11Speaker 1: you say, like, how many pages is it? I can't
- 2:25:13Speaker 1: give you an exact exact number because I found this
- 2:25:16Speaker 1: out the hard way. A Google doc can't go over
- 2:25:19Speaker 1: a thousand pages, so it's multiple Google.
- 2:25:22Speaker 10: Docs, no ship, dude, Yeah, God, how often do you
- 2:25:27Speaker 10: go back and read and be like, Okay, this is
- 2:25:29Speaker 10: different now, this is different now nutrition for instance, if
- 2:25:32Speaker 10: you take something five years ago someone said about.
- 2:25:34Speaker 1: Nutrition, it's just it's ongoing. It's ongoing, and I usually
- 2:25:38Speaker 1: I try to visit it at least weekly, try to daily.
- 2:25:44Speaker 1: But you know, like if you know I've been traveling
- 2:25:45Speaker 1: last few days, I haven't. You know, I haven't been
- 2:25:47Speaker 1: on it. But what I do, Like so at the
- 2:25:49Speaker 1: Michigan Washington game, during the game, I have my notes up,
- 2:25:53Speaker 1: not the actual Google docs, but just my notes app
- 2:25:57Speaker 1: and I'm just taking notes on everything I see, Like, oh,
- 2:26:00Speaker 1: I was at the Seahawks game Sunday too, you know,
- 2:26:02Speaker 1: So anytime I'm at a game or watching a game
- 2:26:05Speaker 1: and I see a play I like or you know,
- 2:26:07Speaker 1: situation like you know, this is bad flashbacks. But twenty
- 2:26:14Speaker 1: eleven fourth and inches in East Lansing and we were
- 2:26:19Speaker 1: in to playfake and you know, I just remembered that
- 2:26:22Speaker 1: yesterday watching I think the Seahawks Giants game, thinking like,
- 2:26:25Speaker 1: you know, fourth and inches. If I'm ever a coordinator,
- 2:26:29Speaker 1: I don't want to call player the quarterbacks back is
- 2:26:31Speaker 1: to the defense and fourth and inches unless he's given
- 2:26:34Speaker 1: the ball, but it's just so risky. But like, so anyway,
- 2:26:37Speaker 1: you know, that just triggered that thought from twenty eleven.
- 2:26:40Speaker 1: So I write that down in my notes, and then
- 2:26:42Speaker 1: tonight when I get back, I will put that exactly
- 2:26:46Speaker 1: where it belongs to the manifesto. So then whenever I'm
- 2:26:49Speaker 1: a coordinator, I already have that in the fourth and
- 2:26:51Speaker 1: short section to always reference and remind myself your.
- 2:26:56Speaker 3: Memory is shaky. The manifesto? Did you give the name manifesto?
- 2:27:02Speaker 1: So that was it was just like my notes, And
- 2:27:07Speaker 1: I think it was during COVID when people didn't know
- 2:27:10Speaker 1: if football was going to be happening or not. And
- 2:27:13Speaker 1: a couple buddies of mine and I had these zooms
- 2:27:16Speaker 1: just talking ball stand fresh in football, and uh, I
- 2:27:20Speaker 1: remember kind of introducing it to one of them and
- 2:27:23Speaker 1: he's like, this is like a manifesto, and so we
- 2:27:26Speaker 1: just kind of jokingly called it the Michigan Manifesto and then, uh,
- 2:27:31Speaker 1: you know, obviously the media ran with it. Dave ran
- 2:27:33Speaker 1: with it, and I guess I now have to call
- 2:27:36Speaker 1: it the Michigan manifestoos.
- 2:27:40Speaker 4: If you've got to.
- 2:27:41Speaker 3: Whenever you've decided, like I'm done doing the manifesto you
- 2:27:43Speaker 3: need to print that out hard copy and then just
- 2:27:46Speaker 3: frame it somewhere, just a book.
- 2:27:47Speaker 1: But there's never an end to the Michigan Manifesto. How
- 2:27:51Speaker 1: could that was a dumb statement and you win a
- 2:27:54Speaker 1: national champions there's already a section in there. You know,
- 2:27:56Speaker 1: this is like a sabanism, right, like where you.
- 2:27:58Speaker 4: Can start doing it like encyclop You gonna have like
- 2:28:00Speaker 4: a volume one.
- 2:28:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I already have nine volumes, do you? He said,
- 2:28:06Speaker 1: I already have nine volume Are you just doing AI
- 2:28:09Speaker 1: up here?
- 2:28:09Speaker 3: From she's just been popping up different AI AI pictures
- 2:28:13Speaker 3: that he's decided to make.
- 2:28:14Speaker 1: I mean you saw you saw the recruiting the scouting
- 2:28:19Speaker 1: map in the documentary? Yeah, did you see that?
- 2:28:22Speaker 3: So it's a it's a map of the United States.
- 2:28:24Speaker 3: It's where every single draft pick.
- 2:28:26Speaker 1: Right, every draft pick. So basically what I did was
- 2:28:30Speaker 1: again I can say this because well, you know, you
- 2:28:32Speaker 1: could probably hires some AI or you could do whatever
- 2:28:35Speaker 1: now and probably catch you up on this. But it's
- 2:28:37Speaker 1: just the concept. This is just one of you know,
- 2:28:39Speaker 1: hundreds of concepts in the manifesto where you know, people
- 2:28:42Speaker 1: always talk about states, like what's the best state for recruiting?
- 2:28:46Speaker 1: Is it Georgia, is it Florida, is it Texas? Is
- 2:28:48Speaker 1: it California? And I just kind of realized, why are
- 2:28:51Speaker 1: we talking about states? It's literally something that Lewis and
- 2:28:53Speaker 1: Clark drew back in the eighteen hundreds. Why would you
- 2:28:57Speaker 1: recruit based on some state boundary that were drawn a
- 2:29:01Speaker 1: couple hundred years ago. So what I did was I
- 2:29:03Speaker 1: plotted every single draft pick. I took the Google map
- 2:29:07Speaker 1: layer like off where you couldn't even tell where you were,
- 2:29:09Speaker 1: and I just plotted everyone, and then I just drew
- 2:29:12Speaker 1: my own little regions around where the mass people were
- 2:29:18Speaker 1: and just kind of went from there, because like you know,
- 2:29:22Speaker 1: when people say Florida is great, well it's mostly Fort Lauderdale, Miami.
- 2:29:30Speaker 1: Right when people say California, it's mostly LA and the
- 2:29:35Speaker 1: Bay Area, Texas mainly Dallas, Houston. Yes, there are certain
- 2:29:41Speaker 1: states like Georgia and Texas where it is more spread out,
- 2:29:43Speaker 1: but I just kind of figured, you know why, and
- 2:29:46Speaker 1: it's my position too. Now, I'm not going to give
- 2:29:48Speaker 1: away which positions in which sub regions are worth recruiting
- 2:29:55Speaker 1: more than others, but yeah, there's definitely like certain regions
- 2:29:59Speaker 1: are hotbeds for certain positions So what's the best state
- 2:30:02Speaker 1: for recruiting?
- 2:30:04Speaker 4: What's the best region?
- 2:30:05Speaker 1: Region? Miami? Miami is the best region.
- 2:30:09Speaker 4: How's Arizona? How does Arizona hold up?
- 2:30:13Speaker 1: I mean, if you weren't there, then it wouldn't be
- 2:30:16Speaker 1: as great.
- 2:30:18Speaker 3: That is exactly how I wanted you to answer that.
- 2:30:21Speaker 3: I didn't know that's how I wanted you to answer,
- 2:30:22Speaker 3: but that's what I needed.
- 2:30:23Speaker 1: But you know, I think Georgia is probably the best
- 2:30:26Speaker 1: state where if you just close your eyes and put
- 2:30:28Speaker 1: your finger anywhere on the on the state of Georgia,
- 2:30:31Speaker 1: you're closed to a player that's been drafted.
- 2:30:35Speaker 4: I like that. Yeah, it's it's extremely informative. I've loved
- 2:30:41Speaker 4: every minute of this.
- 2:30:43Speaker 3: We got a couple of sections. We got Twisted Question
- 2:30:46Speaker 3: and then Tier talk.
- 2:30:47Speaker 1: I think we have multiple tier talks.
- 2:30:49Speaker 4: One that we're just gonna give to you, but the
- 2:30:51Speaker 4: twisted question to.
- 2:30:53Speaker 3: Pop up that that ad Mmm.

- 2:31:39Speaker 11: question comes from Greg Hohenstein at Greg Hoe forty eight
- 2:31:43Speaker 11: on Instagram.
- 2:31:44Speaker 1: Shout out Greg hoe forty eight.
- 2:31:46Speaker 11: Your best Big ten super team versus your best SEC superteam?
- 2:31:51Speaker 11: Who's on it? And who is winning?
- 2:31:54Speaker 1: Man?
- 2:31:55Speaker 4: I could be the wrong person ask here because I can't.
- 2:31:57Speaker 4: It's like I can sit here and think of all
- 2:31:59Speaker 4: the players, Like justin you know one of the nineties
- 2:32:02Speaker 4: Nebraska teams. I think you're gonna be pretty good.
- 2:32:05Speaker 1: But is that a Big ten team though they are now? Yeah,
- 2:32:08Speaker 1: but they weren't Big ten, right?
- 2:32:09Speaker 4: They weren't ten then?
- 2:32:11Speaker 1: All right, So let's start at quarterback. Who's representing the
- 2:32:13Speaker 1: Big ten we're completely creating our team from scratch. We're
- 2:32:16Speaker 1: not saying, like Georgia twenty one.
- 2:32:18Speaker 11: Your creat you like picking players.
- 2:32:20Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be tough.
- 2:32:21Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's a that's a very long winded, twisted question.
- 2:32:25Speaker 1: Can we we just gotta go like the best O line,
- 2:32:27Speaker 1: the best receiver corps?
- 2:32:29Speaker 3: Maybe Okay, let's just start with you ten, all right,
- 2:32:33Speaker 3: big ten quarterback.
- 2:32:34Speaker 4: I mean you're using one of the Michigan ones recently, Yeah.
- 2:32:39Speaker 1: Line, Yeah, twenty two, Michigan twenty twenty two, Michigan O
- 2:32:45Speaker 1: line twenty three. Man, they didn't technically didn't win. We
- 2:32:48Speaker 1: we didn't win the Joe Morroward last year, but that
- 2:32:51Speaker 1: was probably because they just felt back because we won
- 2:32:53Speaker 1: it twice in a row, first time we ever won
- 2:32:55Speaker 1: it twice in a row.
- 2:32:56Speaker 4: But that I would say that, I could say that
- 2:32:58Speaker 4: a line I get my.
- 2:32:59Speaker 1: Good last year? What are we working on this together?
- 2:33:02Speaker 4: Yeah, we have to.
- 2:33:03Speaker 1: There's no way the three of us are gonna do.
- 2:33:04Speaker 11: Uh.
- 2:33:05Speaker 1: So we'll say that old line. I hate Santas, but
- 2:33:07Speaker 1: it's gotta be one of the Ohio State receiving corps recently.
- 2:33:10Speaker 4: Now, yeah, with old Mormon Harrison Jr. I mean, well,
- 2:33:15Speaker 4: if you're gonna pick them, then you gotta pick Michigan's
- 2:33:16Speaker 4: DBS though.
- 2:33:18Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, so we're just a hot state in Michigan
- 2:33:21Speaker 1: so far.
- 2:33:22Speaker 4: So what's that CJ. Stroud might be.
- 2:33:29Speaker 1: But this is all time, I do you know? I
- 2:33:34Speaker 1: respect c J. Good guy. He didn't beat Michigan though,
- 2:33:39Speaker 1: he didn't beat Michigan. Couldn't beat Michigan.
- 2:33:44Speaker 6: See J. T.
- 2:33:46Speaker 1: Barrett. Yeah, they had three, they had Dwayne, all three
- 2:33:52Speaker 1: of those guys right back to back to back.
- 2:33:54Speaker 4: Yeah, this is way harder than I expected it to be.
- 2:33:57Speaker 1: Troy Smith to you wanna put that tight.
- 2:34:00Speaker 4: End, Pappy, you grab the you can do the SEC team?
- 2:34:07Speaker 1: Are they keeping track of this? You got you gotta
- 2:34:09Speaker 1: have Joe Burrow. No, I don't know Cam Newton though
- 2:34:11Speaker 1: his twenty ten season. Yeah, superman, Johnny.
- 2:34:18Speaker 4: You guys do the SEC. We'll do the Big ten
- 2:34:24Speaker 4: all time. Yeah, the number one greatest running back of
- 2:34:31Speaker 4: all time and the Big ten. I'm looking at Archie
- 2:34:33Speaker 4: Griffin Ohio State. Yeah, that's big. That's big for the
- 2:34:40Speaker 4: Big ten. Okay, so we'll take him, We'll take him.
- 2:34:44Speaker 4: Let me look at uh, I'll do line. I'm gonna
- 2:34:51Speaker 4: do linebackers. Oh, I'm almost assuming, like again.
- 2:34:57Speaker 1: And is this is this while they were in college? Yeah?
- 2:35:00Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe we just do a defense because for linebackers,
- 2:35:04Speaker 4: you you can always pick like a like a pension squad.
- 2:35:06Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, when they had uh, but you probably want
- 2:35:10Speaker 3: to Harrington Michigan defense.
- 2:35:14Speaker 1: If you're going full defense. Yeah, if you're going full defense,
- 2:35:17Speaker 1: I mean, hello, man, mhm.
- 2:35:26Speaker 4: This is a way harder question than I wanted to be.
- 2:35:29Speaker 1: Yeah, should we pass? Is there a backup question?
- 2:35:37Speaker 4: It's just too much, just too much brain power.
- 2:35:41Speaker 1: All look at of all time best players, Oulton Mescoulton
- 2:35:46Speaker 1: Mescos were the first players I met at Michigan, and
- 2:35:53Speaker 1: they made like the Ray Guy, you got way too
- 2:35:55Speaker 1: much playing time.
- 2:35:55Speaker 3: Ray guy dude, he that uh that Ray door was
- 2:36:00Speaker 3: first made in twenty two and nine. He walked out
- 2:36:04Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, it's big enough to wear a
- 2:36:05Speaker 3: punter can hit it. And then firstout warming up hit
- 2:36:07Speaker 3: the top. It was like the most deflating the Alcalack Fieldhouse.
- 2:36:13Speaker 1: Why are we talking to Mumford real quick?
- 2:36:15Speaker 4: Yeah, we talk Mumford.
- 2:36:16Speaker 1: Well, we'll wait till these boys they.
- 2:36:18Speaker 4: Find out that we're punning on this So Mumford, I
- 2:36:21Speaker 4: mean you got Charles Woodson.
- 2:36:22Speaker 1: Yeah, what they can I guess I'm kind of just
- 2:36:25Speaker 1: over the question.
- 2:36:27Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this is little an entire episode. It is like,
- 2:36:32Speaker 3: let's just forgure out the best all time conference teams.
- 2:36:35Speaker 1: I actually have a question for him about Mumford.
- 2:36:38Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, Muford. Go ahead, stick on Mumford because
- 2:36:41Speaker 4: a question.
- 2:36:42Speaker 1: I won't forget about Mumford. You keep that picture up.
- 2:36:44Speaker 1: I'm not gonna forget.
- 2:36:46Speaker 4: Give me three coaches you feel like you've learned the
- 2:36:49Speaker 4: most from in real time now, like with the people
- 2:36:52Speaker 4: you were inspired by and everything. Yes, yeah, guys, we
- 2:37:01Speaker 4: punted on this question, twisted question. Three coaches, three coaches
- 2:37:09Speaker 4: he's learned the most from. Yeah, three coaches he's learned
- 2:37:14Speaker 4: the most from. That's added that's added value to the manifesto,
- 2:37:19Speaker 4: big value.
- 2:37:20Speaker 1: That's actually, yeah, that's that's probably the best way to Yeah,
- 2:37:22Speaker 1: to ask that too.
- 2:37:27Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
- 2:37:31Speaker 1: Kenny amount to Lolo Navy head coach now at San
- 2:37:35Speaker 1: Josis say winning as head coach NA football history. Chris
- 2:37:41Speaker 1: Partridge and I got two in mine For this third spot,
- 2:37:49Speaker 1: it's either Jay Harbor or Mike McDonald, which and ironically
- 2:37:54Speaker 1: all of those guys are in Seattle. I'd say, Jay,
- 2:38:01Speaker 1: I've spent more time around Jay.
- 2:38:03Speaker 4: Those are the three that the manifesto the most.
- 2:38:06Speaker 1: Yeah, just from observing them and and asking them questions
- 2:38:09Speaker 1: and picking their brains.
- 2:38:11Speaker 4: How many coaches knew you had this manifesto going, uh
- 2:38:14Speaker 4: not like manifesto like fun creative?
- 2:38:16Speaker 1: Yeah? I think I actually a lot of people just
- 2:38:18Speaker 1: kind of knew I was very organized and had a
- 2:38:21Speaker 1: bunch of notes and pulled out ideas.
- 2:38:25Speaker 4: Was any coach like curious, like, hey, have you been
- 2:38:28Speaker 4: logging everything?
- 2:38:29Speaker 1: Like, let's see this organization. I think every coach has
- 2:38:32Speaker 1: their own system of notes, right, Yeah, maybe not as organized,
- 2:38:36Speaker 1: but I don't think people really think about it as
- 2:38:38Speaker 1: much because they just kind of write down their note now,
- 2:38:42Speaker 1: you know, once they realize, wait, maybe they're interviewing for
- 2:38:45Speaker 1: a next job up or whatever and they need to
- 2:38:48Speaker 1: organize everything. It's that's why I go back to like vision,
- 2:38:52Speaker 1: the concept of vision itself, like when you picture yourself
- 2:38:54Speaker 1: as that, you just start from the beginning like that,
- 2:38:57Speaker 1: So you just organize everything as if you're the head
- 2:38:59Speaker 1: coach coach, and then you're ready for anything.
- 2:39:04Speaker 4: I love it too, man. Should we do to your talk?
- 2:39:07Speaker 3: And then I have one final question we gotta get Yeah, yeah,
- 2:39:12Speaker 3: let's talk about So the boys just they got.
- 2:39:14Speaker 1: Themselves their first game in a long long time. Let's
- 2:39:17Speaker 1: give a.
- 2:39:17Speaker 3: Shout out to Monthford and we say.
- 2:39:19Speaker 4: A long long like, let's check in on conversiding that
- 2:39:24Speaker 4: you just took an ass whoop in like sixty.
- 2:39:25Speaker 1: Yeah, we also played like cast Tech and cash is like.
- 2:39:29Speaker 4: These school in Detroit.
- 2:39:30Speaker 3: Okay, Mumford, he says, has been a long long time
- 2:39:33Speaker 3: since you guys got a w.
- 2:39:35Speaker 1: I think they won one game last year, none of
- 2:39:38Speaker 1: the year before, and two the year before that, something
- 2:39:42Speaker 1: like that. So you it's been rough.
- 2:39:44Speaker 3: So you resigned from Michigan and Momford calls up and says, please,
- 2:39:47Speaker 3: for the love of God, do something for us.
- 2:39:49Speaker 4: That is that how it happened.
- 2:39:50Speaker 1: Uh, I know the head coach, and he asked if
- 2:39:54Speaker 1: I wanted to be to DC. And then it's kind
- 2:39:56Speaker 1: of evolved. We only have like four coaches.
- 2:39:58Speaker 4: So and you're thinking yourself, what a Allen? No doubt?
- 2:40:01Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. How has the defense gotten better
- 2:40:07Speaker 1: since you've gotten there? Uh? Yeah, we all kind of
- 2:40:11Speaker 1: coach everything. So I'm coaching all sides of the ball. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:40:17Speaker 1: and uh, for example, we have two offensive linemen in
- 2:40:21Speaker 1: the entire program. No ship to yep, So.
- 2:40:31Speaker 4: Well you have two players it's play offensive line in
- 2:40:33Speaker 4: the entire program.
- 2:40:34Speaker 1: We have two true offensive linemen. So like our tight
- 2:40:37Speaker 1: end Norman Adams shout out, shoutouts, Norman could be a
- 2:40:44Speaker 1: very recruitable tight end. Had had to take one for
- 2:40:46Speaker 1: the team, and he's our left tackle. It gets better, guys,
- 2:40:51Speaker 1: it gets Johnson lane Johnson happened him are so last week?
- 2:40:58Speaker 1: Every day it's like playing tetris with the debt chart,
- 2:41:00Speaker 1: and our starting slot had to be our right guard.
- 2:41:05Speaker 1: In the game, we won the right guard. Ye stepped up, Nate.
- 2:41:10Speaker 1: Shout out to Nate played right guard, got the dub.
- 2:41:14Speaker 1: We ran the ball every play except one.
- 2:41:17Speaker 4: All right, So you know it comes with its own challenge.
- 2:41:19Speaker 1: There's a lot of challenges, a lot of challenges, and
- 2:41:23Speaker 1: you know it's really turned into uh, guys taking sacrifices, right, like, hey,
- 2:41:30Speaker 1: what you know, some guys wake up one day thinking
- 2:41:33Speaker 1: they're going to be the slot receiver getting some carries,
- 2:41:35Speaker 1: and then they find themselves starting as the right guard.
- 2:41:40Speaker 3: In the trenches. In the trenches crazy, you enjoyed most
- 2:41:44Speaker 3: about the high school level, how easy the signs are
- 2:41:46Speaker 3: to steal.
- 2:41:47Speaker 1: No, there hasn't been a single sign we because so
- 2:41:51Speaker 1: we we right, obviously, we have some challenges. We have
- 2:41:54Speaker 1: two offensive linemen. I mean I could stop right there,
- 2:41:58Speaker 1: So you got to be able to manipulate tempo right
- 2:42:02Speaker 1: to your advantage. So and I can talk about this
- 2:42:04Speaker 1: and no one's gonna have an answer for it. So,
- 2:42:09Speaker 1: you know, we with two offensive linemen, what do you do? Well,
- 2:42:14Speaker 1: we do a lot of I don't even know what
- 2:42:18Speaker 1: you want to call. It's not even tackle over, it's
- 2:42:20Speaker 1: like everyone over.
- 2:42:22Speaker 4: So you just take the two offensive line, like, hey,
- 2:42:24Speaker 4: you're gonna play in the left side.
- 2:42:25Speaker 1: No, No, Like the center is the last guy on
- 2:42:27Speaker 1: the line and everyone else is over there. But you
- 2:42:29Speaker 1: can't just line up like that that. You can't just
- 2:42:32Speaker 1: give them fifteen seconds to adjust. So we we use
- 2:42:35Speaker 1: like five or six different tempos where you know, one
- 2:42:38Speaker 1: of them is a speed break huddle. So we'll speed
- 2:42:41Speaker 1: break to overloading one side and snapping the ball in
- 2:42:43Speaker 1: three seconds. Like you're not gonna be able to adjust
- 2:42:46Speaker 1: to that in three seconds? No, we'll speed break into
- 2:42:48Speaker 1: like pods where we have just the center and quarterback,
- 2:42:51Speaker 1: five guys over there, four guys over there. If you
- 2:42:54Speaker 1: don't match your numbers, we're snapping it and getting it out.
- 2:42:56Speaker 1: And we scored. We got a seventy five yard touchdown
- 2:42:58Speaker 1: last week on that and the refs through a flag
- 2:43:02Speaker 1: for twelve minute on the field, and I told her
- 2:43:06Speaker 1: I got stay on the field. Stand the found yelling
- 2:43:07Speaker 1: at the ref count them, what do you mean? Twelve
- 2:43:09Speaker 1: on the field, and they count them and then they
- 2:43:12Speaker 1: go and have this meeting for like ten minutes, Like
- 2:43:15Speaker 1: what are they talking about. There's eleven on the field.
- 2:43:16Speaker 1: There's been eleven on the field, and then all of
- 2:43:18Speaker 1: a sudden they change it from twelve on the field
- 2:43:20Speaker 1: to five in the backfield.
- 2:43:22Speaker 4: They're like, look, we're worried right now. How do we
- 2:43:24Speaker 4: get out of this state?
- 2:43:25Speaker 1: Fans they saw you, and they're like, probably probably got it.
- 2:43:29Speaker 4: We got to make sure this guy doesn't have success
- 2:43:30Speaker 4: anywhere now.
- 2:43:31Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, so we you know, we we utilize
- 2:43:33Speaker 1: tempo to our advantage, and then we'll go fast. You know,
- 2:43:36Speaker 1: we'll go fast tempo and run a play real quick,
- 2:43:39Speaker 1: and then we'll just go regular old tempo, take our time.
- 2:43:42Speaker 1: Everything's on a wristband and they look at it and
- 2:43:45Speaker 1: they get lined up, they run it and then we'll
- 2:43:46Speaker 1: go fast again, but we'll hard count get them to
- 2:43:48Speaker 1: jump first down. So you know, it's like we had
- 2:43:51Speaker 1: like a ten minute drive. We didn't even score half ended,
- 2:43:54Speaker 1: but like, hey, last defense is not even being on
- 2:43:57Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, uh wait, so the drive.
- 2:44:00Speaker 4: Didn't even score with the half end. It's so funny
- 2:44:05Speaker 4: to the boys, what's your record right now?
- 2:44:07Speaker 1: Uh, we're wan to know starting this last week, let's
- 2:44:10Speaker 1: go one and calls are one, and oh, we've got
- 2:44:14Speaker 1: three games left and we actually could squeak into the
- 2:44:17Speaker 1: playoffs if we win these last league. Well we're Division three,
- 2:44:22Speaker 1: so we actually just beat a Division one team big time. Okay, Right,
- 2:44:27Speaker 1: gotta get the kids.
- 2:44:28Speaker 3: We gotta get kids eligible, we gotta get kids ready,
- 2:44:30Speaker 3: We gotta get kids to buy into the program.
- 2:44:32Speaker 1: Yes, and it is, you know, and I don't blame them.
- 2:44:35Speaker 1: It's been tough, right, it's a it's a big culture shock.
- 2:44:38Speaker 1: And uh when you are first three games were against
- 2:44:41Speaker 1: like three juggernauts, and when they haven't won in a
- 2:44:46Speaker 1: long time, you know, you know, you don't say this,
- 2:44:49Speaker 1: but you kind of go in. You know, it's like
- 2:44:51Speaker 1: it's like being a Max school playing uh, you know,
- 2:44:53Speaker 1: Alabama or whatever, and you know you're you're you're prepping
- 2:44:58Speaker 1: like crazy, but you know you're not shocked if you
- 2:45:00Speaker 1: don't win. Right, Yeah, And then Week four, Week five,
- 2:45:06Speaker 1: it was way more winnable games. We were in them
- 2:45:10Speaker 1: and it's just like we just got to get that
- 2:45:13Speaker 1: win to help with the buy in. And now that
- 2:45:15Speaker 1: we got it, these guys are bought in.
- 2:45:18Speaker 4: Right, he's got to get another one again.
- 2:45:19Speaker 1: So Southeastern, big game on the road. Everybody show up? Yeah, right?
- 2:45:26Speaker 4: How is the student section from Mumford? Damn dude? Is
- 2:45:35Speaker 4: Chandler Park Academy?
- 2:45:36Speaker 1: They they that's homecoming? Yeah wait, I don't think that's
- 2:45:39Speaker 1: a road game. No, it's supposed to be a home game. Okay,
- 2:45:43Speaker 1: right now. The website is wrong, I think so. A
- 2:45:45Speaker 1: lot of a lot of these scores are wrong too.
- 2:45:47Speaker 1: By the way, there's one thirty to nothing. Renaissance scored
- 2:45:50Speaker 1: three times. How do you get thirty points in three scores?
- 2:45:53Speaker 1: Or maybe it was four scores? Safety they had four touchdowns, but.
- 2:45:56Speaker 4: We were hilarious.
- 2:45:57Speaker 1: We were four for four on two point conversion.
- 2:45:59Speaker 3: I mean cast Tech is like my freshman year there
- 2:46:03Speaker 3: was like Lewis ye that yeah, that was like, whoever
- 2:46:08Speaker 3: are you.
- 2:46:08Speaker 4: Guys scoreless up until the last week.
- 2:46:10Speaker 1: We scored in the first game.
- 2:46:11Speaker 4: Okay, but a shout up Momford, shout up Monford.
- 2:46:16Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 2:46:16Speaker 4: That's all time.
- 2:46:19Speaker 3: I'll get this last question and then we can go
- 2:46:20Speaker 3: to your talk and then we'll close shop here. So,
- 2:46:22Speaker 3: there's obviously a lot of things that you are alleged
- 2:46:24Speaker 3: doing legally.
- 2:46:26Speaker 4: Illegally with that, well, nothing illegal you're allegedly, people are.
- 2:46:32Speaker 1: Saying, and see bylaws, nothing against the constitution.
- 2:46:36Speaker 3: Right, nothing is the contition. So there's a lot of
- 2:46:38Speaker 3: things that people are saying that you did. Who else
- 2:46:40Speaker 3: in the Big Ten are you aware of are doing
- 2:46:42Speaker 3: the same things you're being accused of doing.
- 2:46:50Speaker 1: I'm not there, so I don't want to I don't
- 2:46:53Speaker 1: want to say exactly, this is what this team's doing,
- 2:46:55Speaker 1: this is what that team's doing. But there's a lot
- 2:46:59Speaker 1: of Big Ten teams. Who are you know at that level?
- 2:47:03Speaker 1: It's Ohio State, Rutgers, I believe, Penn State, UH, Indiana's
- 2:47:11Speaker 1: really good. Those those are probably the top four in
- 2:47:16Speaker 1: the big ten. Who are we're all on the same level? Yeah,
- 2:47:21Speaker 1: what is uh, just for Will Compton's sake, where is
- 2:47:24Speaker 1: Nebraska their rank in the city category, I'd say they're
- 2:47:29Speaker 1: they're how many tiers are we talking here? Like if
- 2:47:34Speaker 1: if you if you just say five tiers, they're probably
- 2:47:36Speaker 1: tier two, tier three. They're not bad, they're they're good
- 2:47:39Speaker 1: at protecting. So they got to know at least something. Yeah, right, Yeah,
- 2:47:44Speaker 1: that's good.
- 2:47:45Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're around that tier tier two, tier three.
- 2:47:48Speaker 3: Yeah, in your time obviously we I we've already figured
- 2:47:51Speaker 3: out that. You know who States Connor Stallions is. Did
- 2:47:54Speaker 3: you ever trade information with them?
- 2:47:56Speaker 1: Again, the only time was not directly. I gave something
- 2:48:01Speaker 1: to give to someone to give to someone to give
- 2:48:03Speaker 1: to him to help him.
- 2:48:04Speaker 4: Did they ever get that wins you.
- 2:48:07Speaker 1: To help them? Did they?
- 2:48:11Speaker 3: Did they ever approach anybody from a hoose state of
- 2:48:13Speaker 3: approach you about future teams or anything like that or
- 2:48:16Speaker 3: was it kind of like we just don't talk to
- 2:48:17Speaker 3: each other?
- 2:48:18Speaker 1: No? Zero percent?
- 2:48:20Speaker 4: Yeah, and Ohio State had the OG signals from somebody.
- 2:48:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they they definitely were utilizing Stolen's signals
- 2:48:33Speaker 1: well before we were definitely so you're a whare Dave?
- 2:48:37Speaker 1: That goes back to the twenty eighteen twenty nineteen.
- 2:48:39Speaker 4: You're aware of Dave Portnoy and champagne bottles?
- 2:48:43Speaker 1: What about him? Are you aware of them? No?
- 2:48:45Speaker 3: So Dave has all of his biggest enemies in the world.
- 2:48:48Speaker 3: He has champagne bottles, and when then they fall, he
- 2:48:51Speaker 3: opens that champagne bottle and he drinks it.
- 2:48:54Speaker 4: Who would be your number one champagne bottle?
- 2:48:56Speaker 1: Team, life, person, him, anybody? It's gotta be Ryan Day,
- 2:49:02Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, it's your.
- 2:49:04Speaker 4: Champagne, but that's your champagne bottle. I will tell you this.
- 2:49:07Speaker 4: You're so bagrated to pop one open. You're just waiting
- 2:49:09Speaker 4: for the dominoes to fall. We were in Columbus for
- 2:49:11Speaker 4: a spring tour last year, right, it would be Ryan Day?
- 2:49:15Speaker 1: Yeah? Who would be your next champagne bottle?
- 2:49:20Speaker 4: Yeah, because I've Ohio States, like that's your goes moral
- 2:49:22Speaker 4: and only number one?
- 2:49:23Speaker 1: Yeah? Who would be your second champagne bottle?
- 2:49:27Speaker 4: Person or team or let's person, let's do person.
- 2:49:35Speaker 1: That's gotta be up there, that would make things easier.
- 2:49:43Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a fan of Michigan State, and
- 2:49:46Speaker 1: that's not a person, but I got nothing against uh
- 2:49:51Speaker 1: Jonathan Smith. He's their new head coach. Yeah, I mean
- 2:49:58Speaker 1: it was Mel Tucker before the that was Mark D'Antonio.
- 2:50:02Speaker 1: Antonio was a dog.
- 2:50:03Speaker 4: He did a great job.
- 2:50:04Speaker 1: I respect him. Yeah, I'm not a fan.
- 2:50:06Speaker 3: No, I will tell you this, I hate Michigan.
- 2:50:10Speaker 1: State more than a house state. I'm right there with you,
- 2:50:12Speaker 1: are you really when you grow up in the state
- 2:50:14Speaker 1: of Michigan, you're surrounded by spartans, not buck guys. So
- 2:50:18Speaker 1: like nationally the game, right, obviously that's the game. Yeah,
- 2:50:24Speaker 1: and you prepare for that game all year, no doubt,
- 2:50:27Speaker 1: but like when it comes down to like this is
- 2:50:29Speaker 1: personal Michigan State for.
- 2:50:32Speaker 4: The state title.
- 2:50:32Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.
- 2:50:34Speaker 3: Tier talk, so tear talk is I'll explain it to you.
- 2:50:38Speaker 4: So we go through our top three talk. Okay, you've
- 2:50:41Speaker 4: seen it.
- 2:50:42Speaker 3: So you're gonna start with your tier three, then you
- 2:50:43Speaker 3: go your tier two, then your tier one. Our tier
- 2:50:45Speaker 3: talk today is best spies, not best spies or best spice,
- 2:50:52Speaker 3: best spies.
- 2:50:55Speaker 4: So I'm ready to go. Do we have a god teer?
- 2:50:59Speaker 4: Do you want to say on three?
- 2:51:00Speaker 1: One two three?
- 2:51:03Speaker 3: Okay, Connor Stallions will be our god teer. So Connor

- 2:51:12Speaker 1: I'm ready.
- 2:51:14Speaker 3: Mm hmm character yeah, yeah, So I'll go first. My
- 2:51:19Speaker 3: tier three is going to be Sterling Archer from the
- 2:51:22Speaker 3: show Archer. I think he's an alcoholic, but he always
- 2:51:26Speaker 3: finds a way to get the job done. I think
- 2:51:28Speaker 3: that show is incredibly well done. I I I just
- 2:51:31Speaker 3: I love the show. He is a fantastic spot. My
- 2:51:35Speaker 3: tier two is going to be.
- 2:51:39Speaker 1: Jason Bourne.
- 2:51:41Speaker 4: Jason.
- 2:51:44Speaker 3: There's been a argument on this bus for a long time.
- 2:51:47Speaker 3: Who is it who would win to fight Jason Bourne
- 2:51:50Speaker 3: or John Wick? My after what rewatching the Jason Bournes,
- 2:51:54Speaker 3: It's clear as day this guy just stays one step
- 2:51:56Speaker 3: ahead of everybody. Now would be very interesting to see
- 2:51:59Speaker 3: based on how technology advanced as his movies came out.
- 2:52:01Speaker 3: They're no longer doing flip phones, if you would be
- 2:52:03Speaker 3: able to keep the pace. But he's my tier two
- 2:52:07Speaker 3: and my tier one. Who would have been my god
- 2:52:09Speaker 3: teer given that everybody else felt and felt the same
- 2:52:11Speaker 3: way as gonna be James Bond. I think James Bond
- 2:52:14Speaker 3: is the OG. I love the fact that every ten
- 2:52:16Speaker 3: years or so they just recycle the storylines, new new
- 2:52:20Speaker 3: James Bond.
- 2:52:21Speaker 1: Everything.
- 2:52:22Speaker 4: It is just it's all fucking time. It's all time.

- 2:53:51Speaker 4: special agent mentor to Gary Eggsy Unwin. And my tier
- 2:53:56Speaker 4: one Sneaky. It's going to be the scout piece in
- 2:54:01Speaker 4: the board game Stratigo. You're able to manipulate this piece
- 2:54:04Speaker 4: around and when it gets exposed, it's ultimately like you're
- 2:54:08Speaker 4: you're trying to smoke out other pieces on the board.
- 2:54:10Speaker 4: And I love Stratigo growing up. One on one just
- 2:54:13Speaker 4: a chess match where you're trying to protect your flag,
- 2:54:16Speaker 4: kind of capture the flag. You can place bombs around
- 2:54:18Speaker 4: it and there. Then there are ranks from like one
- 2:54:21Speaker 4: all the way to maybe ten, maybe eight. But then
- 2:54:25Speaker 4: there's a scout piece. I can kind of move around,
- 2:54:27Speaker 4: maneuver around that. You want to smoke out, and uh,
- 2:54:30Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the scout piece.
- 2:54:33Speaker 1: Hyphenated front runner, front runner almost.
