- 0:57Speaker 1: we've got all the good stuff lined up for us
- 1:00Speaker 1: here on this Sunday, because we're only four weeks away. Coop,
- 1:03Speaker 1: how's it going, my man?
- 1:07Speaker 2: I like Propaganda Week. I like I like this time
- 1:12Speaker 2: of the year. And I said beforehand, we got the sun.
- 1:15Speaker 2: If you see on the camera when the sun hit
- 1:18Speaker 2: Coop's face on Sunday during our lives, that means we're
- 1:20Speaker 2: in football season. So it is. It is inches away,
- 1:24Speaker 2: and that is hilarious. We have an eleventy billion days
- 1:28Speaker 2: until game day, it feels like but it's not that long.
- 1:33Speaker 1: It feels like it. But the good thing is is
- 1:35Speaker 1: that it's so close. Even though it is yet so
- 1:38Speaker 1: far away, it's very close. Those propaganda machines are going,
- 1:42Speaker 1: Like I said, a lot of winters, a lot of losers.
- 1:44Speaker 1: You're seeing all the highlights populated on all of the
- 1:48Speaker 1: social media's. So no, I'm feeling good man. Thank y'all
- 1:53Speaker 1: for joining us. Per the norm hit. Of course the
- 1:57Speaker 1: like button. If you are new to the channel, subscribe,
- 2:01Speaker 1: rate review, give us five First and foremost, Coop, let's
- 2:06Speaker 1: just jump right into it right. The propaganda machine that
- 2:10Speaker 1: is going is the highlights we're seeing from the from
- 2:13Speaker 1: the staff, from the social media team for Oklahoma, all
- 2:18Speaker 1: over to social media. It's Coop. How are you feeling
- 2:20Speaker 1: about the initial round of stuff that's flying in our face?
- 2:25Speaker 2: Well, just from a macro. All across college football, I
- 2:29Speaker 2: haven't seen any whack edits by the Colorado propaganda team
- 2:32Speaker 2: with the dudes throwing balls that are floating through the
- 2:35Speaker 2: entire you know, earth landing in a touchdown pass. But
- 2:41Speaker 2: you know it's it's good stuff. It's you know, it
- 2:45Speaker 2: hit pads. What was it today? Yesterday? And you know,
- 2:49Speaker 2: so they got through a lot of stuff without pads
- 2:52Speaker 2: going on at the beginning. So really, what you want
- 2:55Speaker 2: to see up to this point is what is what
- 2:58Speaker 2: is the character? What does the energy feel like from
- 3:01Speaker 2: the team and from everything that I'm seeing, Jay, it
- 3:05Speaker 2: looks like the energy is on point, looks like it's
- 3:09Speaker 2: top notch. So it's hard not to get excited.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that is kind of the interesting thing is that
- 3:20Speaker 1: we've only seen a couple of weird social media edits
- 3:23Speaker 1: go out there, like for example, Tennessee decided to put
- 3:26Speaker 1: out there and blur out the quarterback throwing the ball.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I'm gonna just, you know, not say much about that,
- 3:33Speaker 1: but I did think that was kind of fascinating that,
- 3:35Speaker 1: you know, you blur out an interception caught by Colton
- 3:38Speaker 1: Hood former Colorado corner as you mentioned Colorado, former Colorado
- 3:42Speaker 1: corner and that. But in me, to me, your winners
- 3:47Speaker 1: right now in fall camp has to go to us
- 3:53Speaker 1: the fans because we got football in like three weeks,
- 3:57Speaker 1: three weeks and six days. We actually get to see
- 4:00Speaker 1: Oklahoma hit the field at Galable Memorial. We get to
- 4:04Speaker 1: see the first look at how this team will most
- 4:12Speaker 1: likely function against Illinois State. The first half, at least
- 4:17Speaker 1: the first half should be very quick. This should really
- 4:20Speaker 1: be like was it Arkansas State in twenty three? This
- 4:22Speaker 1: is actually how this game should feel. It shouldn't be
- 4:25Speaker 1: like last year against you know what was that you
- 4:28Speaker 1: know Temple where it was like thirty four to nothing
- 4:31Speaker 1: or whatnot. It should be just a blasting within the
- 4:36Speaker 1: first quarter. And that's how you feel good. But let's
- 4:39Speaker 1: talk positions. Though, a lot of the propaganda machine that's
- 4:44Speaker 1: churning has shown some really good passes and some really
- 4:49Speaker 1: good defense. You saw an interception by Kip Lewis, You
- 4:52Speaker 1: saw a reception by Carson Kent and others. Who got
- 4:58Speaker 1: your boy excited? Who got you excited?
- 5:01Speaker 2: The first and foremost? Yeah, first and foremost. I'll start ambiguous.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Competitive depth is is my number one winner. So everybody
- 5:12Speaker 2: do your tip here. But I would start with and
- 5:19Speaker 2: not just because his dad's in here, but Reggie Powers.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Reggie Powers. I'm starting with him, this team is going
- 5:29Speaker 2: to have a lot of a lot of different looks
- 5:32Speaker 2: that they can that they can roll out here. This year.
- 5:35Speaker 2: You're going to have a very very very good mixture
- 5:40Speaker 2: of guys you've got. You know, in in the past
- 5:43Speaker 2: we've said, you've you've had one or two guys where
- 5:45Speaker 2: when he's on the field, what position is he playing?
- 5:47Speaker 2: And so this year, starting with Reggie Powers, you know,
- 5:51Speaker 2: running out there with R. S. J. At strong safety,
- 5:55Speaker 2: I'm also playing some cheetah. You've got guys like Kendall
- 5:59Speaker 2: Daniels who can go from linebacker to cheetah, and then
- 6:03Speaker 2: you got guys like Samuel Masigo also linebacker to cheetahs.
- 6:06Speaker 2: So but Reggie Powers is getting all the roses so far.
- 6:12Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of people that forget from
- 6:14Speaker 2: you know, when he was kind of a late addition
- 6:17Speaker 2: part of the Boganowski Hardy you know, Powers that they
- 6:22Speaker 2: were the kind of the group behind R. S. J.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Bowen and Billy Billy Bowman, you know, last year. And
- 6:29Speaker 2: but every single time that you hear somebody mentioned in
- 6:34Speaker 2: Good Spirits, it's Reggie Powers. And so I'm here for it.
- 6:38Speaker 2: I mean, obviously kind of like an extended family member
- 6:41Speaker 2: for us, and you know, his dad's been nothing but
- 6:45Speaker 2: gracious with you know, with us up to this point.
- 6:48Speaker 2: But you know, big big winner right there with Reggie
- 6:51Speaker 2: Powers and uh the safety slash linebacker slash cheetah area.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I like that. That's a good one. I think he
- 6:59Speaker 1: is definitely a big one. Or we're seeing that he's
- 7:01Speaker 1: playing a lot more first team reps. We know Dobe
- 7:05Speaker 1: is quote unquote uh. They they're they're playing cautious with him.
- 7:09Speaker 1: They're they're not playing him as much. I know he's
- 7:12Speaker 1: dealing with the combination of the ankle, a little hammy,
- 7:15Speaker 1: little hand, little kneecat, well whatever. It seemed like a
- 7:18Speaker 1: lot of things. But they're playing very, very cautious with him,
- 7:21Speaker 1: which is a good thing. You need to. I mean,
- 7:23Speaker 1: he's coming off there, grew some injury. You want to
- 7:25Speaker 1: make sure that he is at the highest level before
- 7:28Speaker 1: you truly bring him back. One of my big winners
- 7:30Speaker 1: is gonna be Isaiah Satana from the propaganda machine. I
- 7:33Speaker 1: don't know if y'all noticed that, but the that that
- 7:36Speaker 1: catch he made, it said blink, oh you miss it. Yeah,
- 7:43Speaker 1: the routes he's running the the catches in the area
- 7:48Speaker 1: that the balls being thrown. It feels like no matter
- 7:50Speaker 1: where you throw it to, you're gonna get Satanna to
- 7:51Speaker 1: catch that thing. That to me is massive. You need
- 7:57Speaker 1: some playmaking receivers like that. And so to me, him
- 8:00Speaker 1: and him and and Dion Bert's together. Once you get
- 8:05Speaker 1: him truly at one hundred, it's gonna be some It's
- 8:08Speaker 1: gonna be musty TV. And to me, that's that's to me,
- 8:11Speaker 1: that's one of the bigger winners that we've seen so far.
- 8:15Speaker 2: From that, let's uh, let's go to my next one,
- 8:19Speaker 2: number forty four. A man on a mission, a guy
- 8:23Speaker 2: somewhat forgotten when it came time to the uh to
- 8:26Speaker 2: the defensive line. That's it's Taylor Wine. This dude, if
- 8:32Speaker 2: you do not know about Taylor Wine Stock, you should
- 8:36Speaker 2: probably go check it's availability. This is a guy who
- 8:40Speaker 2: I think that one of the clips today had Taylor
- 8:43Speaker 2: Wine out there, and and you know, we'll get to
- 8:45Speaker 2: that here shortly. But one of the big things that
- 8:48Speaker 2: I think for this defensive line to to really really
- 8:52Speaker 2: maximize what it can be, a lot of people are
- 8:55Speaker 2: saying that the defensive line is going to be the
- 8:58Speaker 2: best in the sec best in the country because of
- 9:01Speaker 2: the depth, the just the depth all the way through.
- 9:04Speaker 2: You hear a lot of fan bases chirping back, oh yeah,
- 9:07Speaker 2: well we got this guy. Well, the thing is is
- 9:10Speaker 2: this defensive line, I mean it runs close to double
- 9:13Speaker 2: digits deep, you know, you know, to where guys towards
- 9:17Speaker 2: not just what I started off with, competitive depth, Sorry everybody,
- 9:23Speaker 2: but championship caliber competitive depth. And that's a that's a continuation,
- 9:29Speaker 2: So you dont have to take another one unless you
- 9:30Speaker 2: just want to. But Taylor Wine lining up on the
- 9:33Speaker 2: other side of our Mason. There is a good crop
- 9:37Speaker 2: of guys Marva Jones Junior, Dannyakoyer, Taylor Wine. There's a
- 9:42Speaker 2: lot of these guys who are going there's that. There's
- 9:44Speaker 2: the clip right there. We know Logan Hallan has had
- 9:48Speaker 2: the capability to play some strong tackle, but I think
- 9:52Speaker 2: that he he he absolutely got just men handled right
- 9:56Speaker 2: there by by Wine. He is so just so. But
- 10:01Speaker 2: he's a guy who continues to put in the day
- 10:04Speaker 2: stack the days and so it to again, where I
- 10:08Speaker 2: was going with it is, if you want this defensive
- 10:11Speaker 2: line to maximize what it can be, I said, the
- 10:14Speaker 2: pass rush has to be something that approaches the elite style.
- 10:18Speaker 2: You got to have those guys not only be able
- 10:20Speaker 2: to set the edge, but also to get in and
- 10:23Speaker 2: put pressure on the quarterback. And Taylor Wyane is having himself,
- 10:27Speaker 2: you know, a great opening week of camp.
- 10:30Speaker 1: And that's what you want. You want to see some
- 10:33Speaker 1: of the young players you are hoping to see blossom
- 10:35Speaker 1: into something show up and give you a few plays
- 10:38Speaker 1: like here, you got some Kip Lewis interception, you got
- 10:40Speaker 1: some Richie Powers defense. You want to hear that both
- 10:46Speaker 1: sides of the ball have good days. I think that
- 10:48Speaker 1: that's the one thing a lot of fans don't get
- 10:51Speaker 1: when it comes to how this machine turns. You gotta
- 10:56Speaker 1: have both sides of the balls have good days. You
- 11:00Speaker 1: can't just have one side do everything or you're gonna
- 11:03Speaker 1: be upset because that means that the other side's not
- 11:06Speaker 1: even offering you an opportunity to even be competitive for
- 11:11Speaker 1: the most part. I mean, last year we heard a
- 11:13Speaker 1: lot defense was dominant. I've heard the defense has been
- 11:16Speaker 1: really good on days, and I heard that the offensive
- 11:18Speaker 1: come back the next day and cause problems. And so
- 11:22Speaker 1: I'm here for the good energy that we're getting out
- 11:25Speaker 1: of fall. All right, at a fall camp so far.
- 11:28Speaker 1: But Kubari, who you got? Give me who you feel
- 11:31Speaker 1: like is your losers from or do you have a
- 11:34Speaker 1: loser for fall camp so far? For the first week.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Oh you it's for the folks saying, oh you can't
- 11:41Speaker 2: compete on the Alliance of scrimmage. They that is my
- 11:45Speaker 2: losing squad. Because let's see here, I for Beataway. We
- 11:49Speaker 2: were unable due to personal reason non injury, but was
- 11:54Speaker 2: unable to be a participant one of the early days
- 11:57Speaker 2: of camp. And so who in uh nothing, none other
- 12:02Speaker 2: than Ryan Foj takes a bunch of the first team
- 12:05Speaker 2: snaps and you know with guys like Ryan fo J
- 12:09Speaker 2: and with Fasousi, those guys are they've got they've got
- 12:15Speaker 2: a good good good uh you know, link to people
- 12:17Speaker 2: out in front of them, and I can't, I mean,
- 12:20Speaker 2: I want to say it was Parker said it on
- 12:23Speaker 2: one of their shows here a couple of days ago.
- 12:26Speaker 2: I was Powerwashington the driveway earlier today and so plowing
- 12:29Speaker 2: through some good listening content and it's it is more
- 12:34Speaker 2: likely that you get a chance to see fo J
- 12:36Speaker 2: early J because of what is out in front of Fasousi.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Fasusi is going to have to go through guys like
- 12:43Speaker 2: Isaiah Autry Dent, He's gonna have to go through Logan Hellen,
- 12:46Speaker 2: He's going to go through Jacob Sexton in order to
- 12:49Speaker 2: you know, see time in there. Whereas the guard position,
- 12:53Speaker 2: you know you still don't have that you know, necessity
- 12:56Speaker 2: of you know, just just stockpile talent out in front
- 12:59Speaker 2: of him. Uh. I was still coming back from the
- 13:01Speaker 2: shoulder injury. Uh Fambici you know being out that helped
- 13:05Speaker 2: him significantly. But yeah, you've got you've got that that
- 13:10Speaker 2: is happening. Uh, he has stepped up and he has
- 13:13Speaker 2: came in e p L. You see him going at
- 13:16Speaker 2: it with I believe. Let's see here there there it is.
- 13:20Speaker 2: There's already s telling everybody to get in the pool.
- 13:23Speaker 2: But Fabci was going up against freshman and and just sorry,
- 13:29Speaker 2: that is EPL going against freshman guys. The the depth
- 13:33Speaker 2: is there, the offensive line. You have a massive betty
- 13:37Speaker 2: of snaps experience, uh, super high end early you know,
- 13:42Speaker 2: young talent. And so that's one thing that we went
- 13:44Speaker 2: into last year was almost no experience. It was all
- 13:48Speaker 2: based off of projection and you know it just you
- 13:53Speaker 2: just you just go to see when things come off
- 13:56Speaker 2: get off schedule, you're going to run into a spots
- 13:58Speaker 2: where you need to fall back on experience. And I
- 14:02Speaker 2: consider experience experience and so. But you got plenty of
- 14:06Speaker 2: different guys rolling in. There we go, there we go.
- 14:09Speaker 2: You get plenty of the young guys rolling in, You
- 14:11Speaker 2: got plenty of the the older guys, you know, rounding
- 14:15Speaker 2: back into form. Uh, it sounds like you're opening offensive line.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Had been sext in epl Everett if a beaty wai
- 14:24Speaker 2: wu and then Simmons on the outside siemens. Uh, he's
- 14:28Speaker 2: had himself a little little dean little concussion, so that
- 14:31Speaker 2: that should be. That's per the rumor per per a
- 14:35Speaker 2: couple of different sources. So hopefully you get the you
- 14:39Speaker 2: know him back out there here in a couple of days.
- 14:42Speaker 2: But he is a guy who has tons of experience,
- 14:44Speaker 2: so you know, he gets just more snaps and more experience,
- 14:47Speaker 2: more live bullets for some of the younger kids.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what you want. And the good thing is
- 14:53Speaker 1: if Simmons is dealing with any type of injuries and
- 14:56Speaker 1: coming down for a bit, you know, it'll be okay
- 14:58Speaker 1: to me. I say, the biggest loser right now is honestly,
- 15:06Speaker 1: also the fans, because there's not much to really know
- 15:12Speaker 1: the first week. It's so early, so far knock on
- 15:18Speaker 1: would the people that have been down are still down
- 15:21Speaker 1: for the most part. Nothing like serious, nothing big, nothing small.
- 15:25Speaker 1: It's people are gonna, you know, this is a physical game.
- 15:28Speaker 1: It's football, so people are gonna, unfortunately get caught up
- 15:31Speaker 1: in something, get tripped, get hurt a little bit, get
- 15:33Speaker 1: dinged up because physicality is required, and so that's the
- 15:40Speaker 1: most critical piece. But I digress some questions. Of course,
- 15:44Speaker 1: in here GARMANI asked the question of what's going on
- 15:48Speaker 1: with hat and Bowen, And be honest, I ain't heard
- 15:51Speaker 1: much about him. I've seen him in videos, I've seen
- 15:55Speaker 1: him be be out there playing defense. But one of
- 16:00Speaker 1: your bigger problem is is that if you don't hear
- 16:05Speaker 1: anything about someone, we think it's a bad thing, when
- 16:07Speaker 1: in auctuality, no news is typically good news. It means
- 16:11Speaker 1: that they're doing what they're supposed to do, Like we
- 16:12Speaker 1: don't hear anything about Robert Spiers Jennings. But should you now? Granted,
- 16:17Speaker 1: I get that a lot of us feel that we
- 16:19Speaker 1: need to hear something about Peyton Bowen because it's been
- 16:22Speaker 1: we haven't. We haven't got the Peyton Bowen experience that
- 16:24Speaker 1: we expected so far. So for some you're gonna hear
- 16:29Speaker 1: a lot more players that are lighting it up in
- 16:32Speaker 1: a positive way. But for a lot of other ones,
- 16:35Speaker 1: truth be told, it's just gonna be. They're doing what
- 16:38Speaker 1: they're supposed to do and that's it. It's more of
- 16:41Speaker 1: a players we've never seen before, our Lie Jaden I Materer,
- 16:47Speaker 1: the whole wide receiver room. They're doing some stuff. You're like,
- 16:49Speaker 1: oh man, they're pretty solid. But then when it gets
- 16:52Speaker 1: to your traditional players, like you're not hearing much about
- 16:54Speaker 1: Fabiti Way well outside he missed one day, but he
- 16:57Speaker 1: was back like normal the next day. You haven't heard
- 17:01Speaker 1: much about Troy Everett at all. He's just you know,
- 17:04Speaker 1: being the starting center right now. That's really about it.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Left tackle is Jacob Sexton and the only thing I've
- 17:10Speaker 1: heard is that he's a starting left tackle right now.
- 17:12Speaker 1: And if Asusi is fighting for a chance to play,
- 17:14Speaker 1: so that's kind of to me. The losers is that
- 17:17Speaker 1: the people that you know, not only the fans, but
- 17:19Speaker 1: those players that just go out there and do their
- 17:21Speaker 1: job every day kind of sucks for him because they're
- 17:24Speaker 1: not gonna get as hyped as everybody else.
- 17:26Speaker 2: No, and a lot of the times when you hear
- 17:29Speaker 2: callouts sometimes it is for motivation of somebody else. I
- 17:35Speaker 2: will say this, you know, uk Dan Danny aka Kumi
- 17:39Speaker 2: got a call out down in SEC media days, had
- 17:43Speaker 2: another mentioned by Brent Vinables early. I think maybe it
- 17:47Speaker 2: was right after day one. And he has been uh
- 17:51Speaker 2: been rotating in with the at the left guard spot too.
- 17:56Speaker 2: He's been out there, you know, representing and you know
- 17:59Speaker 2: he has been a lot too now with the from
- 18:03Speaker 2: the offensive line standpoint. You got a lot of health,
- 18:06Speaker 2: You got a lot of guys that are out there,
- 18:08Speaker 2: and you only got so many snaps that you can
- 18:11Speaker 2: run in these times. And when it comes time to
- 18:13Speaker 2: the media days, they get about an hour, you know,
- 18:16Speaker 2: in a three hour practice, So there's a lot more
- 18:18Speaker 2: that goes out there. You know. When you guys are,
- 18:22Speaker 2: you know, hearing things, they're they're they're not gonna tell
- 18:25Speaker 2: us everything, right because number one, there's a portion of
- 18:28Speaker 2: the you know, I don't want people contacting our players saying, hey,
- 18:32Speaker 2: we hear that's chairing it up. But you got plenty
- 18:34Speaker 2: in front of you. We sure could use a left
- 18:36Speaker 2: guard like you or there is a lot of opportunity
- 18:40Speaker 2: for you know, you to come play over here if
- 18:42Speaker 2: you don't get what you think because a lot of
- 18:44Speaker 2: those a lot of these teams will try to plant seeds.
- 18:46Speaker 2: But then also, you know, you don't have to give
- 18:50Speaker 2: Robert Spiars Jennings a lot of shout out. You don't
- 18:52Speaker 2: have to go to Don Williams and say, man, I'm sorry,
- 18:55Speaker 2: I didn't really shout you out today. Let me get
- 18:57Speaker 2: you know, last year as he came in, you want
- 18:59Speaker 2: to make him feel we welcome. This year, dude just
- 19:01Speaker 2: needs to do his job. And you know, I tell
- 19:03Speaker 2: my kids all the time, you know what, when you
- 19:06Speaker 2: do what you're supposed to do, most people aren't going
- 19:08Speaker 2: to you know, throw you a parade. If you do
- 19:10Speaker 2: what you're supposed to do, people are just going to say,
- 19:12Speaker 2: all right, and now give you more. And so you're
- 19:14Speaker 2: gonna hear some of the shout outs for some of
- 19:16Speaker 2: these some of these other folks coming in. But when
- 19:20Speaker 2: you especially when you have depth to day, because when
- 19:22Speaker 2: you've got like I said, I saw a ten guys
- 19:25Speaker 2: on the defensive line that you know, you get excited
- 19:28Speaker 2: about day in and day out. It's it's hard to
- 19:31Speaker 2: you know, focus on that, and in Brent vinibles is
- 19:33Speaker 2: kind of I think he's learned a little bit, you know,
- 19:35Speaker 2: not going for the twenty seven minute answer on who
- 19:38Speaker 2: stood out today. You know, he wants to just say, hey,
- 19:41Speaker 2: we're doing good, let's keep growing, let's keep let's keep cushing.
- 19:44Speaker 2: We want to get better each day. But you know,
- 19:47Speaker 2: then you every once in a while you'll hear something
- 19:49Speaker 2: like a Zion Kearney, Zion Kearney stock. Also if you
- 19:52Speaker 2: have not started purchasing the Zion on Kearney stock, I
- 19:55Speaker 2: think the Zion's guy that is starting what what what
- 19:58Speaker 2: was the one of the ride ups said, Uh, the
- 20:02Speaker 2: the consistently most you know, consistent producer out there at
- 20:07Speaker 2: you know, at the wide receiver position. Through these first
- 20:10Speaker 2: couple of days of camp.
- 20:11Speaker 1: He's a dude that's just doing his job and he's
- 20:15Speaker 1: showing up beautifully, which is what we all expected out
- 20:18Speaker 1: of Zion Kearney. We kind of knew that he had
- 20:21Speaker 1: star potential in him. He was a top one hundred
- 20:23Speaker 1: player in the country for a reason. All he needed
- 20:25Speaker 1: was some seasoning, and you don't it's never a good
- 20:28Speaker 1: thing to throw a whole bunch of freshmens out there
- 20:29Speaker 1: on the field at the same time to just put
- 20:31Speaker 1: it that way, and you know, he had to learn
- 20:34Speaker 1: quick and he's he's he's he's refining his game. Let's
- 20:41Speaker 1: just put it that way. And now everybody's noticing that,
- 20:45Speaker 1: especially with the loaded wide receiver room. I mean, that's
- 20:48Speaker 1: that's the thing that a lot of people aren't taking
- 20:50Speaker 1: in consideration, is that we went out and got what
- 20:52Speaker 1: seven different receivers to add to this roster, coop, and
- 20:56Speaker 1: with the seven, you still got players on the roster
- 21:01Speaker 1: you're hoping, can you know, you know, etch their own
- 21:04Speaker 1: space in there, and yeah, sure enough. You gotta wait
- 21:08Speaker 1: to see if you get Jayden Gibson back around Michigan
- 21:11Speaker 1: or around that time. I think that's what Brenvinable said.
- 21:13Speaker 1: He said around the first week of the season. So
- 21:15Speaker 1: Illinois State or Michigan, Uh Giovanni has to come back
- 21:19Speaker 1: in which his timetable is on schedules still for the
- 21:22Speaker 1: first game of the season. But then you've got all
- 21:26Speaker 1: the other receivers in that lineup, and so with how
- 21:31Speaker 1: much youth you have on top of how many veterans
- 21:37Speaker 1: you brought in, Keyantes Lewis and you know Setain, you,
- 21:43Speaker 1: Sion Martin, Etctera. You gotta see if your current players,
- 21:49Speaker 1: your recruits, the ones that you know you like, have
- 21:52Speaker 1: they etched out their space and Zion currenty is gonna
- 21:54Speaker 1: be one basically to me, and this is a good
- 21:56Speaker 1: question for you. Coop, Me and John talked about this
- 21:59Speaker 1: over Unlocked on so uh last week. The coaches that
- 22:05Speaker 1: need to have a win, and it really is EJ.
- 22:08Speaker 1: You know, EJ needs to prove himself here, not that
- 22:13Speaker 1: he can't because we know he can recruit. We've seen
- 22:14Speaker 1: his ability to recruit. Now the question is his development.
- 22:17Speaker 1: When you recruit and bring a player in, can you
- 22:19Speaker 1: develop your guys? Zion is one of his dudes, and
- 22:23Speaker 1: it sounds like he's starting to live up to expectations.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Zion's another one, you know, you you bring up a
- 22:31Speaker 2: lot of names. Uh, you know, Josiah Martin is a
- 22:34Speaker 2: kid who is going to be learning, you know, back
- 22:37Speaker 2: behind Satanian Burks. He's a guy that's gonna be out there,
- 22:40Speaker 2: you know, you know it's really really trying to you know,
- 22:43Speaker 2: find his his footing. It's not a kid who who
- 22:48Speaker 2: has no experience. He's got lots of experience, and uh again,
- 22:53Speaker 2: you want to be able to have experience out on
- 22:55Speaker 2: the field, because if you don't have any experience on
- 22:57Speaker 2: the field, then it's all projection. And then what happens
- 23:00Speaker 2: is you get all this projection preseason, which is that's
- 23:03Speaker 2: what you know, we're still in We're still in projection season.
- 23:06Speaker 2: This is still a lot of people with early in
- 23:08Speaker 2: the early early part of the season, who are guys
- 23:12Speaker 2: that you're hoping become somebody. But you know what, I
- 23:15Speaker 2: would rather take a college football experience over projection every
- 23:19Speaker 2: day of the week.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Yep. So we'll see, we will see how that goes.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Oh what's up?
- 23:30Speaker 2: I got another winner. We got a kicker. And I
- 23:34Speaker 2: think that that is something that we really need to
- 23:39Speaker 2: point out because fun fact, Tay Sandel is a lefty
- 23:47Speaker 2: and and the last time OU won a national championship,
- 23:50Speaker 2: they had a fellow named Duncan and he was a lefty.
- 23:55Speaker 2: So if you're in for you know, good omens and
- 23:59Speaker 2: good juju. That's another one. But I think it was
- 24:03Speaker 2: Radosevich talking on on their podcast, which was pretty funny
- 24:08Speaker 2: because I guess during the I did not go to
- 24:11Speaker 2: the UH the spring festivities, but everybody was lining up
- 24:15Speaker 2: out there not hitting field goals. And when you don't,
- 24:21Speaker 2: you can't hit it even in just exhibition time. That
- 24:23Speaker 2: that's that's not good. So the other day, I guess
- 24:27Speaker 2: he went three for three, hit a fifty yarder. You
- 24:30Speaker 2: know that is going to be a big piece because
- 24:34Speaker 2: I know that though the you know the I guess
- 24:37Speaker 2: you would say the Mike leech tree that that spread
- 24:41Speaker 2: that spread tree that our buckle is from. They have
- 24:45Speaker 2: an infinity for go for it on fourth down. But
- 24:48Speaker 2: when you're going to be in a lot of close games,
- 24:50Speaker 2: you're gonna want a guy who's going to be able
- 24:51Speaker 2: to trot out there and just get his job done.
- 24:53Speaker 2: And so you know one that I do not want
- 24:57Speaker 2: everybody to glaze over on. But it sounds like that. Indeed,
- 25:01Speaker 2: we do have a kicker.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Kicker is critical, Tay Sendal is that is going to
- 25:05Speaker 1: be that dude, because yeah, that's probably the most important
- 25:09Speaker 1: thing out there is your kicker is critical. When you're playing,
- 25:16Speaker 1: especially in a conference where a lot of games are
- 25:18Speaker 1: decided within a touchdown, that field goal that you probably
- 25:24Speaker 1: should have taken instead of trying to go for it
- 25:28Speaker 1: can usually leads to you know, w's or l's. I mean,
- 25:31Speaker 1: think about it. In the Auburn game, we stop film
- 25:37Speaker 1: on fourth down at goal line, they kick a field goal.
- 25:40Speaker 1: They probably don't feel as much pressure. When it's fourth
- 25:44Speaker 1: down in three and your running back is averaging five
- 25:48Speaker 1: yards of carry, you decide to throw a pass and
- 25:53Speaker 1: it turns into a pick six for a touchdown. Those
- 25:57Speaker 1: little things right there, what's most important that allows you
- 26:03Speaker 1: to relax in some of those scenarios. So having a
- 26:11Speaker 1: kicker a pretty big deal. Thank all of y'all for
- 26:16Speaker 1: pulling up. Please hit the like button. If you new
- 26:19Speaker 1: to the channel, subscribe, rate review, give us five coop.
- 26:24Speaker 1: I want to talk awards that we're seeing. Got watch list.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Of course, we'll do the watch list first and then
- 26:31Speaker 1: we will talk about games where we're excited about this season.
- 26:36Speaker 1: But Kip is on the Bronco Nagirski Trophy as well
- 26:43Speaker 1: as the Buckets Geometer is on the Maxwell war watch list.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Samuel Macigo also on a Buckets awards list. That surprised me.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Not gonna lie, we'll talk about that in a minute.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Ye Jayden i Maxwell watch lists and Dally talked about him.
- 27:04Speaker 1: He's on the Lou Groza Award, Robert Spiers Jenning's on
- 27:08Speaker 1: the Warful Trophy, and our punter Old Rich is on
- 27:12Speaker 1: the Ray Guy watch list. I'm not gonna lie say me,
- 27:16Speaker 1: Olmsgo won't surprise me. That surprised me only because of
- 27:24Speaker 1: just how many snaps he's gotten in comparison, But him
- 27:31Speaker 1: playing a lot is not a surprise. It's just that
- 27:33Speaker 1: he's already being recognized this early. I love it because
- 27:36Speaker 1: I think almost Ego's gonna be special personally.
- 27:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say this is. This is why sometimes
- 27:46Speaker 2: these award lists are are a little silly preseason, but
- 27:52Speaker 2: you gotta have some recognition in the preseason if you
- 27:55Speaker 2: want to show it. I think that uh, I think
- 27:57Speaker 2: that Danny probably did not did not win some stuff
- 28:02Speaker 2: last year because he wasn't there early and in some
- 28:08Speaker 2: of these awards. But I would say this is I'm
- 28:11Speaker 2: gonna make a bold predition prediction and say that there's
- 28:14Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of guys that play out of
- 28:16Speaker 2: their minds on this defense and don't get mentioned for
- 28:20Speaker 2: the awards because of the lack of the bulk stats.
- 28:25Speaker 2: And that goes back to what I said early with
- 28:27Speaker 2: guys like Kendall Dolby, Oma Sego, Reggie Powers. You know,
- 28:33Speaker 2: these guys not having the opportunity to you know, is
- 28:39Speaker 2: he going to be in cheatah at times? Is he
- 28:41Speaker 2: going to be you know, over at the mic at times?
- 28:44Speaker 2: You know where's he going to line up? So sometimes
- 28:46Speaker 2: those stats actually won't be won't be stacking up for
- 28:50Speaker 2: some of these guys like you know other people will
- 28:52Speaker 2: because I mean, what was it there was a kid
- 28:55Speaker 2: at Mississippi State who had like one hundred and eighty
- 28:57Speaker 2: tackles or something like that last year. I mean, you're
- 29:00Speaker 2: going to have that many tackles when your team's you know,
- 29:02Speaker 2: as bad as it is and so but you know,
- 29:06Speaker 2: at the same time, because of our offense, Danny had
- 29:08Speaker 2: a lot of you know a lot of tackles. But yeah,
- 29:11Speaker 2: Sammy was a surprise. Kip, that's not a surprise. Everybody
- 29:15Speaker 2: has seen him. He's got the unofficial Iron Bowl victory trophy.
- 29:20Speaker 2: You know, he is a guy who you know, I
- 29:23Speaker 2: would put out the question who who is hated more
- 29:26Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield by Ohio Ohio State fans or Kip Lewis
- 29:30Speaker 2: by the residents of the state of Alabama, because uh,
- 29:33Speaker 2: he he crushed a lot of folks hearts in Alabama
- 29:36Speaker 2: last year, and but both these guys, along with Kobe
- 29:41Speaker 2: are going to be all over the place, and you know,
- 29:45Speaker 2: they may steal some of this, some of this thunder
- 29:48Speaker 2: from each other. But I think that with this defense
- 29:50Speaker 2: has the capability to be so multiple that the the
- 29:55Speaker 2: one of the biggest things I hear about the defense.
- 29:57Speaker 2: And a lot of people have said, well, can you
- 30:01Speaker 2: replace Danny Stutsman being gone? How many times did we
- 30:05Speaker 2: hear last year that in big clutch time situations Danny
- 30:08Speaker 2: was over on the sideline and Gave and Teddy were going,
- 30:10Speaker 2: what the hell is going on here? Because they felt
- 30:14Speaker 2: comfortable with this linebacker crew, and Oma Sego was forced
- 30:18Speaker 2: into a lot of duty with Dolby going down, and
- 30:21Speaker 2: so he saw a ton of time. And I don't
- 30:25Speaker 2: put it past to Kip Lewis to get a lot
- 30:28Speaker 2: of hype, especially with his capability and propensity to make
- 30:32Speaker 2: some of these big game changing plays.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's probably one of the things that
- 30:39Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't recognize is that they were
- 30:42Speaker 1: very like said, they were very comfortable with Sammy playing
- 30:47Speaker 1: Kobe playing in some critical games, which is a good
- 30:51Speaker 1: thing because why at least this year. Now, this year,
- 30:55Speaker 1: they've been in those scenarios and they're ready to play
- 30:58Speaker 1: and continue to play it out. I'm pretty excited about
- 31:00Speaker 1: seeing seeing what Kip and Sammy does together. We always
- 31:06Speaker 1: we all expected Jeo Materr to be on a minimum
- 31:08Speaker 1: of one watch list. He's been talked about heavily by
- 31:11Speaker 1: the media. His numbers showed last year that he's someone
- 31:16Speaker 1: keeps her eyes out for. Uh. Getting some Maxwell love
- 31:20Speaker 1: is good. I'm expecting him to be on the was
- 31:23Speaker 1: it the Dope Walker Award watch lists as well. He
- 31:28Speaker 1: That's definitely an expectation from him, and I love seeing
- 31:33Speaker 1: that Robert Spears Jennings is getting some recognition. He was
- 31:36Speaker 1: one of the highest graded safeties in the corner and
- 31:39Speaker 1: run defense via pff DO. Was nails in the run game,
- 31:45Speaker 1: and he was really good in the blitz three sacks
- 31:48Speaker 1: last season. Coop. I'm it's still crazy to me those
- 31:53Speaker 1: blitzes that were dialed up with him coming up basically
- 31:56Speaker 1: in the mug and as soon as the hyke comes
- 31:59Speaker 1: the court, it's like the quarterback didn't even look his direction.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Now they're gonna have to this season which opens it
- 32:04Speaker 1: up for an opportunity for Peyton Bowen, for a Reggie Powers,
- 32:10Speaker 1: a jayde Hardy to you know, to to steal something off.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Because they already know about Mike Boganowski. He's already been
- 32:19Speaker 1: talked about enough to where teams are gonna look to
- 32:22Speaker 1: the side and see him come into line, but like, hey, somebody,
- 32:24Speaker 1: two people block him. Don't don't don't let him come
- 32:28Speaker 1: in here. Two people, not one, two people right there.
- 32:32Speaker 1: If not, we've got a problem. So that opposite side's
- 32:36Speaker 1: gonna get opportunity because I think that when Robert Spiars
- 32:38Speaker 1: Jennings walk up to the front, as soon as he
- 32:41Speaker 1: gets to that line, team's gonna look at him and
- 32:43Speaker 1: be like, hey man, last year when he was up
- 32:45Speaker 1: here like that, he blitzed in and leveled quarterbacks. You
- 32:50Speaker 1: solve the sack against Tennessee, and he forced the fumble.
- 32:52Speaker 1: You saw the heath against Auburn on the first down.
- 32:55Speaker 1: That to me, that was a balls I still go
- 32:59Speaker 1: back and rewatch that play often. That was a ballsy
- 33:02Speaker 1: call by by BV and Zach Allot at that point
- 33:06Speaker 1: of you give up the first down. Unfortunately, then they
- 33:11Speaker 1: come out there hurry up. He comes up to the
- 33:14Speaker 1: line quickly pretends to back pedal blitz in and Thorn
- 33:19Speaker 1: did not even look. And how you hurt was five crack.
- 33:24Speaker 1: He hit the ground and it was money time what
- 33:28Speaker 1: you needed. I like that with him getting that recognition,
- 33:33Speaker 1: Like I said, it's gonna open it up for the
- 33:35Speaker 1: other dudes on the defense. So let me ask you this, though, Coop,
- 33:38Speaker 1: we had this discussion in the court I toil ago
- 33:45Speaker 1: can do you is there an argument made for Oklahoma
- 33:49Speaker 1: having a top ten linebacker room in the country.
- 33:57Speaker 2: There. I'm gonna talk out of both size of my mouth,
- 34:00Speaker 2: because yes you are. I know that for a fact
- 34:05Speaker 2: they have the capability of being that. And it's it's
- 34:07Speaker 2: not it's not closed. It's not even in a It's
- 34:09Speaker 2: not a question. I think that your linebacker room has
- 34:13Speaker 2: the capability to flow and do good things when the
- 34:15Speaker 2: defensive line out in front of them is legit. Now,
- 34:19Speaker 2: does does Oklahoma have maybe outside of Kip Lewis in
- 34:24Speaker 2: Spells last year, does Oklahoma have a top end guy
- 34:28Speaker 2: like a Texas does, or you know, like a Penn
- 34:31Speaker 2: State does or a Michigan No, But do they have
- 34:35Speaker 2: the capability and is it based off a projection for
- 34:38Speaker 2: guys like Kobe and Kip and Sammy uh To. You know,
- 34:42Speaker 2: Kendall Dolby's going to be technically listed as you know,
- 34:45Speaker 2: as a linebacker hybrid. Probably Reggie Power is the same
- 34:50Speaker 2: this team. I mean, I think Phil still had them
- 34:53Speaker 2: like eleven or twelve, like somewhere around there. He is
- 34:56Speaker 2: pretty good at those those types of deals. But like
- 34:59Speaker 2: I said, when you have the opportunity to for the
- 35:02Speaker 2: defensive line to be as good as the defensive line
- 35:05Speaker 2: is going to be, it allows your linebackers to flow freely,
- 35:08Speaker 2: and when you have the back end comfort, you can
- 35:13Speaker 2: also do a lot of that. So yeah, I mean,
- 35:18Speaker 2: I fully do think that this is a team that
- 35:20Speaker 2: can have a top ten linebacker unit. And it's not
- 35:24Speaker 2: it's not going to be based off of anything outside
- 35:27Speaker 2: of make your tackles. You know that you're gonna miss
- 35:31Speaker 2: a tackle here there. It's always gonna happen. Somebody's gonna
- 35:33Speaker 2: do it, somebody's you know, it's you could be a
- 35:36Speaker 2: you know, a Rudy Gobert and end up on a
- 35:39Speaker 2: couple of posters because when people see you in the pain,
- 35:42Speaker 2: they're really going to go and try to make a
- 35:44Speaker 2: point for themselves. And I think the same thing with
- 35:46Speaker 2: this linebacker crew. Danny is gone, but Brent had them
- 35:51Speaker 2: in a lot of high pressure situations with Danny standing
- 35:55Speaker 2: on the sideline last year prepping them for this year,
- 35:59Speaker 2: and I think that they got the athletes to absolutely
- 36:02Speaker 2: do it.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's a good question here, Jimmy, do I
- 36:08Speaker 1: think they we have a top ten defense? I think
- 36:09Speaker 1: we repeat that easily. And I asked that question to
- 36:13Speaker 1: Coop here as people are, you know, wondering if we
- 36:16Speaker 1: have a top if we have a top ten linebacker
- 36:22Speaker 1: room in the country. Phil still does believe. He thinks
- 36:25Speaker 1: that we're the number four linebacker room in college football
- 36:29Speaker 1: behind Texas, Michigan, Notre Dame. He has Pitt right behind
- 36:34Speaker 1: as pit Penn State. Me. I think, depth wise, I
- 36:38Speaker 1: could totally see that argument. I just don't. I'm waiting
- 36:41Speaker 1: to see the production to follow behind it. But because
- 36:45Speaker 1: Phil has us, he still has us as the best
- 36:48Speaker 1: defensive line fourth freighted linebacker room. He thinks our DBS
- 36:53Speaker 1: is where our biggest question is at twenty and that's
- 36:55Speaker 1: mainly because of health. You got Robert Spiris, Jennings, Peyton
- 37:00Speaker 1: Bowen's miss some time with the turf toe deal, but
- 37:01Speaker 1: he's back healthy. Your corners, Eli Bowen's now dealing with
- 37:08Speaker 1: an injury, but Gentry Williams was hurt. Even though right
- 37:11Speaker 1: now he's practicing in the best way. It sounds like
- 37:15Speaker 1: it sounds like he is cooking right now, and so
- 37:20Speaker 1: as long as his shoulder holds up, Gentry is going
- 37:23Speaker 1: to be another fun one. The only problem with Gentry though,
- 37:27Speaker 1: is this he likes to hit people, but he likes
- 37:35Speaker 1: to ye and that becomes a problem with someone that
- 37:38Speaker 1: with the you know, the situation.
- 37:41Speaker 2: And I'll say this is, prior to last year, there's
- 37:44Speaker 2: a lot of you know, a lot of I guess recency,
- 37:49Speaker 2: clouding of truth with when it comes time to Gentry.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Gentry had not missed a bunch of games prior to
- 37:56Speaker 2: last year. He hurt that shoulder. At the end of
- 37:58Speaker 2: the year, he got a clear which was unsuccessful, and
- 38:02Speaker 2: then they finally got the real thing. So Gentry is
- 38:05Speaker 2: back in. But I also say this is you go
- 38:08Speaker 2: to projection on guys behind Gentry, You've got other guys,
- 38:14Speaker 2: Devon Jordan, potentially the fastest, most explosive athlete on the team.
- 38:19Speaker 2: You know, I've heard a lot of talk about you've
- 38:21Speaker 2: seen Kendall Dolby out there playing some outside corner. When
- 38:24Speaker 2: that guy was not blitzing, he was covering slot receivers
- 38:27Speaker 2: as the cheetah. So he has some coverage capability. ELI
- 38:32Speaker 2: will be fine and he will be back. What we're
- 38:34Speaker 2: probably going to say is when you get we're talking
- 38:39Speaker 2: top ten defense this year, it is going to be
- 38:43Speaker 2: something different than last year. Last year, these teams never
- 38:47Speaker 2: got behind. We didn't have a potent enough offense to
- 38:51Speaker 2: get a lead in a lot of situations, but we
- 38:56Speaker 2: didn't have the corners tested. We didn't have you know,
- 38:59Speaker 2: pass after after pass, so a lot of the a
- 39:02Speaker 2: lot of the you know, the passing against the defense
- 39:06Speaker 2: came in you know, fifty to fifty scenarios. I really
- 39:10Speaker 2: do think that this defensive back room and safeties, these
- 39:13Speaker 2: guys are gonna have a lot more coverage opportunity this year.
- 39:18Speaker 2: And but on the other side, I got to say
- 39:20Speaker 2: this Jay when it was in a very very evident
- 39:24Speaker 2: pass rush situation, which was very very very rarely against
- 39:28Speaker 2: this defense last year, that bad man RMT showed up
- 39:32Speaker 2: a lot and showed up often, and so I really
- 39:37Speaker 2: do think that, you know, the defensive line allows a
- 39:40Speaker 2: little bit more you know freedom. There's a lot of
- 39:44Speaker 2: good receivers. These guys are gonna have to hold up.
- 39:46Speaker 2: They're gonna have to hold up for three or four seconds,
- 39:48Speaker 2: They're gonna have to hold up for five seconds at times.
- 39:50Speaker 2: But I think this defensive line more often than not,
- 39:52Speaker 2: it's not going to allow that massive influx of time
- 39:55Speaker 2: to where guys are just gonna be running around.
- 39:57Speaker 1: You know.
- 39:57Speaker 2: Also, I got to say that the escapability of some
- 40:00Speaker 2: of these of some of these runners, You're gonna have
- 40:02Speaker 2: a guy like Archie Manning who's gonna have some capability
- 40:04Speaker 2: to move around in the pocket. You're gonna have a
- 40:06Speaker 2: Leonora Sellers, who is guy who's gonna be able to
- 40:08Speaker 2: move around in the pocket. So you do have some
- 40:11Speaker 2: you know, guys like Jacoby Johnson. He's one hundred percent
- 40:15Speaker 2: defensive back now. I mean, there's no talk of him
- 40:17Speaker 2: coming over to the wide receiver room. He doesn't have
- 40:19Speaker 2: to do that. He's taking it more serious. You've got
- 40:22Speaker 2: younger guys who are starting to to do some more stuff.
- 40:25Speaker 2: So I I feel good about this cornerback room. I
- 40:28Speaker 2: really do. I want to see if you have Eli
- 40:32Speaker 2: and Gentry out there as you're you know, full on
- 40:35Speaker 2: super healthy starters, you're going to do some damage. But
- 40:39Speaker 2: I think earlier in the season you're going to need
- 40:41Speaker 2: to get some You're gonna need to get some, you know,
- 40:44Speaker 2: some help from a Devon Jordan. You're gonna need to
- 40:46Speaker 2: get some help from Mauly Hawkins. You're gonna need you know,
- 40:49Speaker 2: Jeremiah Nukem and a lot of these younger kids, Jacoby Johnson,
- 40:52Speaker 2: because those guys, I mean, they're gonna try to do
- 40:55Speaker 2: some power run and they're gonna put it, you know,
- 40:56Speaker 2: put you in a precarious situation to make a tackle early.
- 41:02Speaker 1: No, that's a good point. Okay, thank y'all, pulling up,
- 41:07Speaker 1: hit the light button. New to the Chance, subscribe rate review,
- 41:10Speaker 1: give us five coup Let's look at I Love Truth
- 41:16Speaker 1: coming there and telling us that their room is their
- 41:17Speaker 1: running room is stack because they had all those injuries
- 41:20Speaker 1: last year. I mean, I think that we could probably
- 41:22Speaker 1: say the same thing about some of the stuff we've
- 41:24Speaker 1: got going on too. So but it's a very good point.
- 41:26Speaker 1: All I want to see is the texts running back
- 41:29Speaker 1: just won't seem healthy. So I totally agree with you
- 41:31Speaker 1: on there that that's that's basically where we are with
- 41:34Speaker 1: some of our especially at wide receiver. But I think
- 41:37Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of the better running backs in
- 41:39Speaker 1: the SEC. Same thing with materears. It's gonna be fun
- 41:41Speaker 1: because you've got more than five or six to uh
- 41:46Speaker 1: fight with. That's gonna be uh, it's gonna be a fun,
- 41:50Speaker 1: fun one. But I do think defensive line wise, linebacker wise,
- 41:54Speaker 1: going back, the d fish should be better, actually should
- 42:01Speaker 1: be better than it was last year, which is hilarious.
- 42:04Speaker 1: I've actually who's the Dusty devorcheck I think set that
- 42:06Speaker 1: today on Oklahoma Breakdown. He thinks that the defense should
- 42:09Speaker 1: be actually better than last year. But Coop, I want
- 42:12Speaker 1: to talk about this schedule. We'll get to y'alls fan questions.
- 42:18Speaker 1: I've been been starring them, So keep those questions coming
- 42:21Speaker 1: in and we'll talk talk about them. If you won
- 42:23Speaker 1: an instant, of course, the super chats always available. But
- 42:27Speaker 1: looking at the schedule, though, Coop, what game are you
- 42:32Speaker 1: looking forward to the most this season?
- 42:36Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just going to go ahead and start
- 42:37Speaker 2: it out with the Michigan I myself believe that this
- 42:42Speaker 2: is going to be a game where it is going
- 42:45Speaker 2: to be like a prize fight. Early You're going to
- 42:47Speaker 2: have uh, you know, guys checking each other. Both teams
- 42:52Speaker 2: have putrid office in offenses. Last year, pretty stout defenses.
- 42:58Speaker 2: You had defenses who really carried them for the most part,
- 43:03Speaker 2: and but they got I think it was like seven
- 43:07Speaker 2: I mean, just the same as Oklahoma. They had a
- 43:09Speaker 2: bunch of guys coming back out of the transfer portal
- 43:12Speaker 2: wide receiver. They got the kid and his name's escaping
- 43:16Speaker 2: me six or five dude out of Indiana mccullys.
- 43:20Speaker 1: I think I think the McCauley is the McCully McCully.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Yeah, so he missed I mean most of the season
- 43:28Speaker 2: last year. So kind of the same thing as a
- 43:30Speaker 2: Javanni Gibson, Jade and Gibson situation, like, hey, you know,
- 43:33Speaker 2: is he going to come back? I don't see this
- 43:37Speaker 2: game being close. I think Oklahoma is going to run
- 43:41Speaker 2: away with this one. But I do say that it
- 43:44Speaker 2: has a lot to do with the psyche of this
- 43:47Speaker 2: football team because you put that game at home and
- 43:52Speaker 2: Jay don't know if you knew this, but Oklahoma is
- 43:56Speaker 2: a little bit of a warmer environment than Ann Arbor Michigan,
- 44:00Speaker 2: and so those kids, those kids are going to be
- 44:02Speaker 2: leaving low eighties and coming down into upper nineties in
- 44:06Speaker 2: the low hundreds for the for the heat and decks.
- 44:08Speaker 2: We know it's going to be a night game, but
- 44:10Speaker 2: you know they're going to have to get out there
- 44:11Speaker 2: and it's going to be hot, and that's going to
- 44:13Speaker 2: be a mental hurdle for them. But you're asking a
- 44:15Speaker 2: freshman quarterback in Underwood to come down to Norman and
- 44:19Speaker 2: I just think that what this would do from a
- 44:22Speaker 2: you go out and you win that game especially, I mean,
- 44:26Speaker 2: I still think Texas beats Ohio State week one. I
- 44:30Speaker 2: don't know if Ohio State's going to have the reload
- 44:33Speaker 2: that they hope that they can. But you have potentially
- 44:38Speaker 2: Texas knocking off Ohio State, then oh you knocking off
- 44:41Speaker 2: Michigan in week two, and that that conversation of SEC
- 44:45Speaker 2: versus Big Ten is going to be a big deal.
- 44:47Speaker 2: That's going to be a big deal for just across
- 44:49Speaker 2: the country and for the Big Ten coaches saying that
- 44:55Speaker 2: we're taking the SEC model. That doesn't really help them
- 44:57Speaker 2: with their narrative with a schedule on cupcakes. When the
- 45:00Speaker 2: top two teams in that league are gonna come down
- 45:02Speaker 2: and take losses. But I think what that does for
- 45:05Speaker 2: this fan base is going to be absolutely insane because
- 45:10Speaker 2: next week you go to Philadelphia play Temple. Then you
- 45:13Speaker 2: come back and it's the fighting, Uh, take it easy
- 45:16Speaker 2: on the offense, Jackson Arnolds, and then you then you
- 45:20Speaker 2: get then you get a break. So I think that
- 45:23Speaker 2: you just you go out and you win that game,
- 45:25Speaker 2: you set yourself up for a nice you know, five
- 45:27Speaker 2: zero start heading into the Red River.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Darryl, thank you for the five bucks we appreciated. Who
- 45:34Speaker 1: do you predict to be our leading receiver this year
- 45:37Speaker 1: between Berks Jovonnie Gibson or young phenom Elijah Thomas. Leading
- 45:45Speaker 1: receiver Zion Kearney, what about you, Coop.
- 45:52Speaker 2: I like what you did there. I really like what
- 45:55Speaker 2: you did there. I think that when it's uh, I
- 46:02Speaker 2: think that Zion Kerney and Kantes Lewis are two guys
- 46:05Speaker 2: that nobody wants to talk about. And there's gonna be
- 46:08Speaker 2: a lot of eyes on Dion Burk's and a lot
- 46:09Speaker 2: of people are gonna want to take that away from him.
- 46:13Speaker 2: The ability for Jometier to scramble around and catch some
- 46:17Speaker 2: of these outside guys who have more feel to work
- 46:19Speaker 2: with is going to allow more severe yards down downfield.
- 46:23Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna argue with you, but right now,
- 46:29Speaker 2: I think Kentes Lewis is a dark horse for the
- 46:32Speaker 2: most catches.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Oh, I like that. I don't think Kiante is. I
- 46:40Speaker 1: don't think Kanta is a bad choice. He's one that's
- 46:42Speaker 1: been quiet. Uh, He's got a lot of experience, He's
- 46:44Speaker 1: moved around a lot, and I think he dealt with well.
- 46:49Speaker 1: He he dealt with coaching changes which led him to
- 46:53Speaker 1: go down to Southern Illinois when he j U C
- 46:57Speaker 1: l A as well as consin Wisconsin. The two coaching
- 47:00Speaker 1: changes kind of had him fall out a favor, so
- 47:03Speaker 1: get that, and then he finally got his footing back
- 47:07Speaker 1: and I think he's I think he is primed to
- 47:10Speaker 1: be that. So that's a good one. That's a good question. Daryl,
- 47:12Speaker 1: appreciate that. Let us know wh y'all think is gonna
- 47:13Speaker 1: leading receiver in the comments and I.
- 47:17Speaker 2: Think that you if you saw one of the where
- 47:20Speaker 2: the guys are coming out with the smoothies in hand
- 47:22Speaker 2: and they're saying, who is the MVP of the day,
- 47:24Speaker 2: I mean, Mattier said, I don't. I mean, I'm not
- 47:27Speaker 2: taking it as his gospel, but he he had at
- 47:29Speaker 2: least six catches. He said, thanks, six catches, six touchdowns.
- 47:32Speaker 2: I don't think he had six touchdowns. But you know,
- 47:35Speaker 2: in the early morning practice, Kontes Lewis had multiple catches.
- 47:39Speaker 2: So I think there's gonna be a lot of eyes
- 47:41Speaker 2: on Dion Burks. And that's not mean that doesn't mean
- 47:43Speaker 2: that I think that Deon Burks is gonna have a
- 47:44Speaker 2: bad year. I just want to say that I think
- 47:47Speaker 2: that you're gonna have five or six guys in that
- 47:49Speaker 2: five hundred and nine hundred yard range and where you
- 47:52Speaker 2: don't have a CD LAMB type of a situation, you
- 47:57Speaker 2: need somebody to who's going to be your step up guy.
- 48:00Speaker 2: And I mean because the last time that we really
- 48:03Speaker 2: had a slot receiver be the leader was Drek Stoops
- 48:07Speaker 2: the in twenty three and he I think was like
- 48:10Speaker 2: nine hundred and eighty two yards or something like that.
- 48:12Speaker 2: I think that he needed like one more catch to
- 48:14Speaker 2: get that one thousand, But we haven't had a thousand since.
- 48:17Speaker 2: I think Memes, Yeah it was Memes.
- 48:19Speaker 1: Memes was the last one. I don't know if we
- 48:21Speaker 1: get one this year. Though, that actually is one that
- 48:24Speaker 1: that's an interesting conversation, just got to dig into. I
- 48:29Speaker 1: don't know what, Yeah, I don't know. If I don't
- 48:33Speaker 1: know if we'll have a thousand yard it feels like
- 48:35Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of spread out. I don't
- 48:36Speaker 1: know if one person takes over. But that's not a
- 48:38Speaker 1: bad thing. Having multiple weapons is never a bad thing.
- 48:42Speaker 1: As long as if your quarterback puts up a whole
- 48:44Speaker 1: bunch of numbers and you have a whole bunch of weapons,
- 48:47Speaker 1: that's not a bad thing. It's also not a bad
- 48:49Speaker 1: thing if you have one person that gets majority of
- 48:51Speaker 1: the statute your quarterback puts up, so it's also not
- 48:52Speaker 1: a bad thing. You know, if you got one dude
- 48:54Speaker 1: that's just that dominant, that's a plus. But we'll see,
- 48:58Speaker 1: we'll see Burke should be should be Dion it really
- 49:01Speaker 1: should be him or Sitania to be truth be told,
- 49:03Speaker 1: he should be one of those two. But that's an
- 49:05Speaker 1: interesting discussion. We're going to dive into that as we
- 49:07Speaker 1: go through the position breakdowns in preparation for the season.
- 49:10Speaker 1: We'll do that over the next couple of weeks. But
- 49:12Speaker 1: when I look at the schedule, here the game that
- 49:15Speaker 1: I'm honestly the most excited about. It's not even Michigan
- 49:18Speaker 1: for me, it really is the Auburn one, the first
- 49:21Speaker 1: SEC game at the Crib. I've been looking at it
- 49:28Speaker 1: man like, looking at the schedule, like what I'm what
- 49:32Speaker 1: I'm gonna do soon is I'm gonna go through and
- 49:34Speaker 1: look at what the possible record scenarios are for realistic
- 49:40Speaker 1: record scenarios for when we face some of these teams.
- 49:42Speaker 1: So like going against Baylor, I mean going against Auburn,
- 49:45Speaker 1: Auburn should come in with no more than one loss,
- 49:48Speaker 1: Like there's no excuse for them to have no more
- 49:50Speaker 1: than one loss. They'll uh, it'll be they play Baylor
- 49:54Speaker 1: to start the season off, in which a lot of
- 49:56Speaker 1: people are high on Baylor right now, especially with that
- 49:59Speaker 1: day Randa defense. They feel like Baylor's defense is probably
- 50:02Speaker 1: gonna end up being one of the, if not the
- 50:04Speaker 1: top defense in the Big twelve, which is pretty fascinating
- 50:09Speaker 1: to hear. I would have never guessed that about them.
- 50:11Speaker 1: But that's an that's it. That's the interesting one. But
- 50:19Speaker 1: and they finished eight and five las year, which I'm
- 50:20Speaker 1: still pretty surprised they finished eight and five. That was
- 50:23Speaker 1: I would have never guessed that they would have finished
- 50:25Speaker 1: eight and five. But Phil still has Baylor as his
- 50:29Speaker 1: number one team in the Big twelve.
- 50:31Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's all. That's all they have, Jake, because
- 50:35Speaker 2: they got ball State in South Alabama after.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Right after real right. So that's why I say you're
- 50:41Speaker 1: either three and oh or two and one, and being
- 50:43Speaker 1: two and one is not a bad thing for Auburn
- 50:45Speaker 1: coming into Norman. But the way you end up to
- 50:50Speaker 1: and one is the question losing losing to Baylor to
- 50:53Speaker 1: start the season. Depending on how that tells it will
- 50:58Speaker 1: tell us a lot about how Auburn is going to
- 51:00Speaker 1: continue because the way their schedule is set six and
- 51:05Speaker 1: six or seven and five, it should be. It's whether
- 51:09Speaker 1: it's minimal.
- 51:10Speaker 2: They at in Norman, in college station, at home, Georgia,
- 51:17Speaker 2: Missouri at home at Arkansas, Kentucky at home, Vandy at
- 51:22Speaker 2: the Vandy Crib mercer in the end the season, Alabama
- 51:26Speaker 2: at home. So they got I mean, we'll find out,
- 51:31Speaker 2: you know, by week seven, we'll kind of know who
- 51:33Speaker 2: who Auburn is.
- 51:36Speaker 1: We will.
- 51:40Speaker 2: Another one, another one, another one, just to kind of
- 51:42Speaker 2: tap in there is guys, as much as you don't
- 51:48Speaker 2: want to say it, the Red River, you know Texas.
- 51:52Speaker 2: Like I said, I still think that there's a chance
- 51:55Speaker 2: that Texas goes up and and you know, puts to
- 52:00Speaker 2: you know, takes a w from Ohio State. That's gonna
- 52:03Speaker 2: be a tough ask for Arch on his first first
- 52:07Speaker 2: I guess game as the guy. But going into Red
- 52:12Speaker 2: River rivalry, I do believe that game day will probably
- 52:16Speaker 2: be at OU Michigan. We might see game We might
- 52:20Speaker 2: see game day at OU Texas too, because if both
- 52:24Speaker 2: of those teams go in, I think that both those
- 52:26Speaker 2: teams have a chance at the end of OU and
- 52:29Speaker 2: Texas will both be in the conversation for the SEC championship.
- 52:33Speaker 2: Another You and I after show one night kind of
- 52:36Speaker 2: went through the scenarios what that would look like. There's
- 52:39Speaker 2: a lot of questions, a lot of questions about in
- 52:44Speaker 2: the SEC this year, and a lot of a lot
- 52:48Speaker 2: of I guess old heads in the SEC. They don't
- 52:52Speaker 2: want to see that. They don't want to see OU
- 52:54Speaker 2: in Texas in year two be in two teams that
- 52:57Speaker 2: are right there, because that's not good for the Missouri's,
- 53:01Speaker 2: the Kentucky's, the A and M's, you know, the South
- 53:05Speaker 2: Carolina is to have those two guys come over and
- 53:08Speaker 2: already have that much success in the SEC. And so imagine,
- 53:13Speaker 2: imagine those conversations going out throughout the year that you know,
- 53:17Speaker 2: you're looking at a couple of teams with one or
- 53:20Speaker 2: two losses each, and the legacy SEC teams are you
- 53:24Speaker 2: know that it's not like you can trash them because
- 53:26Speaker 2: they're in your conference now. And so I'm kind of
- 53:30Speaker 2: excited about tho you Texas game this year.
- 53:33Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun one. That's gonna be a
- 53:36Speaker 1: fun one seeing the new quarterbacks and and all of that. Yeah,
- 53:41Speaker 1: I am, I'm pretty uh pumped about that game as well.
- 53:45Speaker 1: Auburn's gonna be interesting again because of it being so
- 53:49Speaker 1: early in the season, but yeah, yeah.
- 53:55Speaker 2: And you can't stay in a bye afterwards, so Auburn's
- 53:59Speaker 2: gonna get the full attention.
- 54:02Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. You get two weeks to kind of prep
- 54:06Speaker 1: yourself for that game. So yeah, you the the Temple
- 54:12Speaker 1: travel game is gonna be interesting. But no, like you said,
- 54:15Speaker 1: the the fact that we've got those breaks you get yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 54:24Speaker 1: you get Kent State, Yeah, bye week Kent State, and
- 54:27Speaker 1: then you got Texas. Fun. Texas did not get any
- 54:30Speaker 1: favors when it came to the schedule though, going into
- 54:33Speaker 1: that game bye week before, Oh, it's that. Uh, Sam
- 54:38Speaker 1: Houston probably should have moved swapped those out. See Sam
- 54:43Speaker 1: Houston should have been right at the utip.
- 54:45Speaker 2: Well, we'll see Florida. There's a lot of people wanting
- 54:48Speaker 2: to jump on the Florida train right now. But Lagway
- 54:52Speaker 2: still walked around in a boot jay and it didn't
- 54:55Speaker 2: throw for six weeks?
- 54:57Speaker 1: Was it?
- 54:57Speaker 2: Six weeks after the season, just did not throw a football,
- 55:02Speaker 2: chose not to have surgery on the shoulder, and their
- 55:05Speaker 2: offensive line is going to be good. I mean I saw, yes,
- 55:12Speaker 2: and he they they I mean there were some you
- 55:14Speaker 2: know clips on him, you know what. He had a
- 55:17Speaker 2: throwing boot on and he was throwing. I mean, this
- 55:19Speaker 2: was in the past five days on the sideline, so hilarious.
- 55:24Speaker 2: And I'm just saying, it's it's hard. It's not like
- 55:29Speaker 2: daughter coming into me last night after I took a nap,
- 55:31Speaker 2: or yesterday afternoon, took a nap, and then she comes
- 55:33Speaker 2: running in and says, hey, go play catch with me,
- 55:35Speaker 2: and I was scared I was gonna pull something. It's
- 55:38Speaker 2: it's it's hard that you're you know, to not throw
- 55:41Speaker 2: for a while and then not to be able to
- 55:42Speaker 2: run around for a while and then to all of
- 55:44Speaker 2: a sudden go play elite college football and not hurt
- 55:49Speaker 2: something else. And so but you still got to go
- 55:52Speaker 2: down to the swamp. Yeah, week before.
- 55:56Speaker 1: And they get The crazy thing for them, though, is
- 55:59Speaker 1: they got flag Way playing back to back road games.
- 56:03Speaker 1: They traveled to the Boot, and then they traveled to
- 56:06Speaker 1: the U back to back weeks, and then you get
- 56:10Speaker 1: a bye week, which is a good thing, yep, but goodness,
- 56:15Speaker 1: then you're at the crib against Texas. That's gonna be
- 56:18Speaker 1: an interesting one. And of course Texas having the five
- 56:21Speaker 1: week Sam Houston, so technically quote unquote two weeks to
- 56:23Speaker 1: prep for the Florida game. Then they traveled to the Swamp.
- 56:27Speaker 1: But I think for them, the thing that intrigued me
- 56:30Speaker 1: was four straight road games, basically four games not at
- 56:36Speaker 1: home Florida Red River in Dallas, which is that technically
- 56:41Speaker 1: the home team this year, and then you travel to
- 56:49Speaker 1: Kentucky and then Mississippi State, which but spending the entire
- 56:54Speaker 1: month of October on the road. That's that's a lie.
- 57:01Speaker 1: That is a lot.
- 57:02Speaker 2: And I don't I don't think in Texas handed Vanderbilt
- 57:08Speaker 2: handled them pretty easily last year. But I don't. I mean,
- 57:12Speaker 2: it's it's just a fact that this is the this
- 57:14Speaker 2: is the proof of the SEC schedule doesn't matter, even
- 57:19Speaker 2: though that it's at Kentucky, at State at Florida and
- 57:23Speaker 2: then red River brings its own you know, mental You know,
- 57:27Speaker 2: it's like in pitching, is if you you can throw
- 57:31Speaker 2: eighty pitches in one game and it'd be completely different
- 57:36Speaker 2: from eighty in another game. If you throw eighty with
- 57:38Speaker 2: nobody on base and there's no high intensity, high tension pitches,
- 57:43Speaker 2: that's an easy outy if you got guys a second
- 57:46Speaker 2: third and you're in. I mean, every single decision is
- 57:50Speaker 2: is broken down. That's tough. And that's the difference between
- 57:53Speaker 2: the SEC and the Big twelve is because I mean,
- 57:56Speaker 2: even though that's it's it's Kentucky, even though it's Michigan State,
- 57:59Speaker 2: even know that, or sorry, in Mississippi State, and then
- 58:02Speaker 2: even though it's Vandy, Like I mean, you gotta have
- 58:04Speaker 2: your game. You know, Vandy already showed that they can
- 58:06Speaker 2: play around and do some do some scary things. Now
- 58:10Speaker 2: do I think Vandy beats Texas?
- 58:12Speaker 1: Know?
- 58:12Speaker 2: But do I think that you can overlook that game
- 58:14Speaker 2: with the hope that you know you're taking a breath
- 58:16Speaker 2: before the bye and getting Georgia. No, I think you
- 58:19Speaker 2: still have to give Vandy one hundred percent of your attention.
- 58:23Speaker 1: Vandy's gonna be a fun team to watch this Huar
- 58:25Speaker 1: Diego Pavio was a king at SEC media days. He
- 58:30Speaker 1: is one that I am. I'm ready to see what
- 58:33Speaker 1: they can actually pull off. Because for them, this schedule
- 58:39Speaker 1: of traveling to Votec and then South Carolina and back
- 58:45Speaker 1: to back weeks, geez luise a couple of cupcakes to
- 58:48Speaker 1: in September. Do you start October in Alabama Tuscaloosa, you
- 58:53Speaker 1: get your bye week, and then you've got back to
- 58:56Speaker 1: back home games with LSU Missouri. They could be three
- 59:01Speaker 1: and three to start the year. They could be four
- 59:03Speaker 1: and two, they could be five and one. Truth be told,
- 59:10Speaker 1: Pavia could have them doing some stuff that we don't expect,
- 59:15Speaker 1: because that to me is a lot.
- 59:23Speaker 2: Uh hey, listen, we say it, we say it about
- 59:26Speaker 2: we say it about Materia being in the building. You
- 59:30Speaker 2: he's the de facto leader and the pulse of this team.
- 59:34Speaker 2: One hundred it is, It is undeniable right now that
- 59:38Speaker 2: he is the ring leader. And that's and you know
- 59:41Speaker 2: that takes a lot of team cohesion for the offense
- 59:45Speaker 2: to be in an embarrassment last year and just in
- 59:49Speaker 2: the defense to be the only reason why that you know,
- 59:51Speaker 2: you got any respectability about yourself for you to start
- 59:55Speaker 2: off camp with a new face coming in and being that.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: And that's the same thing that happens with Pavia. Pavey's
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: got his head coach believing, he's got his teammates believing
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: that they just got of approach it from the proper
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: mindset and they're going to be playing for an SEC
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: championship and in playoffs or an opportunity. Do I believe it? No,
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: I don't believe it. Do I believe that Diego Pavia
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: gives them a fighting chance in every game that they play.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: I do.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: I think he can carry them very far, a lot
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: farther than people want to admit to it, to be honest,
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: So I agree.
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: I just really think that when you got a quarterback
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: who and again that that does based off of what
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: he has done, not what he's projected to do. What
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: he has done. And Diego Pavia went out and beat Alabama.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: You know, he did some really really good things last year.
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: And it's not like it was freak you know, there
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: weren't freak plays going left and right. Like he went
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: out and took it to Alabama and and it was
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: a it was a good game. Now, I mean did
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: he follow it up with other spectacular pieces. No, but
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: not so this year. This year they are gonna have
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: that belief and it's gonna get tested right from the get.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: You know, you're right, okay, Uh, let's see. Let's get
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: some of these questions that we've got from the people
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: in the cap for pulling up hit the like button.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: If you need to the chance to describe rate review,
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: give us five lane. Ask about Eli Bowen BV said
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: beginning of the season. So if I'm a betting man,
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: a betting man, I'm gonna say Temple because to me,
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: I would love for him to be in the Michigan game.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: But Michigan's probably gonna run the ball a lot for
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: the most part. Now, granted, Chip Lindsay being the OC
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: and everything that's swirling around Michigan right now, there's a
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: good chance to run more. Does need coaching that game?
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: Like I know he's he's set himself up to coach
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: games one and two, be suspended games three and four,
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: and then be back to normal game five forward. If
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: all the crazy ish comes back, I can see him
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: suspended at least games one, two, three, four, and probably five,
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: maybe six. They're gonna go to try to hit that
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: man with the hammer. So to me, I expect them
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: to do a lot of running.
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: What about you, coop, Uh, yeah, it's the same thing.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: And let's take it back to I think year two,
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: Kansas was looking good and they had defensive backs who
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: were really really great in coverage but maybe a little
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: suspect with health and tackling. And I said, you run
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: it right at Kobe Bryant and you make him tackle.
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: They did, and he ended up breaking his leg. And
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: so I here's my thing is is if you have
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: to if you have to play guys, you know, play
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: a Jakobe Johnson, you know, maybe have somebody over there
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: to where gentry is not making those types of tackles,
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: You're going to have to play like I gotta take
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: it from a brand Venable standpoint. If you're gonna spive
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: the sec, you're gonna have to make tackles. And that's
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: that's gonna have absolutely have to be it. They're gonna
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: run more of a spread offense at Michigan, and so
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: I would just say this is if you want to
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: run Eli Bowen out there for ten fifteen snaps against Michigan,
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: I wouldn't be against it. But do I think that
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: it's going to be Temple. I think it's probably He's
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: probably gonna have two weeks where he misses.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I to me, it's legit. I'm thinking I'm thinking
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: if you you, you probably bring him back Temple to
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: get him warmed up, not really to have to play,
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: but it say get a warmed up. In preparation for
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: the Auburn game. Jay asked the question about when do
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: we expect the depth chart. I must say the week
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: of Illinois State, probably that Monday.
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: When I was gonna say Tuesday, the twenty seventh.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: Uh fair.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: Yeah, like that's probably what you're gonna see. You're going
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: to see a lot more. You're gonna hear scrimmages. Who
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: the first you know, the first offensive line group was.
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: But I will say this guys, just in in general,
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: don't don't get too caught up on who the depth
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: chart and the starters are. We saw that last year
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: with the oars. You're gonna see a lot of oars
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: this year. And that's that's not anything to shot up
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: to the fans. That's game has been shipped towards the
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: coaching staffs, you know, just as much as anything. I
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: think that as as long as it, you know, there's
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: not a major ni l implomic implication going on with it.
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: I think that's what you're gonna see. You're gonna see
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: a lot of oars. You're gonna see a situation where
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: at strong safety you're going to see uh, you know
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: Peyton Bowen or Reggie Powers or you know Hardy and
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: then you know you're that's what you're gonna see. You're
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: gonna see a lot of ores. And so I I yeah, Tuesday,
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: Tuesday before Game one, which the game one in college football,
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: jay is is only what is that it's on the
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: twenty thirds, twenty days away, twenty days away.
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: So that's what week zero? Yeah, why do they call
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: it week zero? I think that's the one thing that
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: annoys me, like why are we even here with the
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: week zero?
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: Like from what's a what's the ocean's Ocean's thirteenth? The
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: soft opening?
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: So I hate it. If there's one thing that annoys
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: me is that ish. But I don't know that's it.
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: Oh Jimmy asked the question do you have do you
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: do you think oklhomoall have a top ten defense? I do?
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: I think wrong numbers wise, we're going up against a
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: bunch of teams that have a lot of changes, not
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: a lot of uh incumbents, And to me, that's beneficial
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: to a defense that's returning a majority of the players.
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: Like Auburn doesn't have Jaquez Hunter. Is there running backs bad? No,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: but they don't have Hunter. And I think Hunter was
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: one of the best running backs that did this. He
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: was good, he was.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: Good, he was good. I mean, it's it's top to bottom.
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: You have so many questions. And I think that that's
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: where a lot of the confidence in folks around Oklahoma,
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: you know, not just in you know around the people
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: who are covering like us is. There's not incumbent teams
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: out there. You know, we see the guys fighting about
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: Ohio State. Ohio State loses both the court coordinators, Uh,
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: they lost Will Howard, they lose they lost a lot. Now,
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: if you think that they're going to be weaker at wide, receiver.
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: You haven't been paying attention for the past decade.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: But there's one position I don't think they're gonna be
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: bad at is that dude. I was playing college football,
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: uh twenty six a couple of minutes ago, one of
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: my son's friends, and he was killing me with TAPA.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: I just couldn't do anything about it. He didn't even
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: have Smith doing anything. He was just takee eating me alive.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: And and I have OU at ten and two, I'm
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: still there. And my my my prediction is getting more
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: positive for OU rather than going back the other way.
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: But when you look up and down across the board, LSU,
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: you lose a ton on defense, and you lost two
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: of the best offensive linemen in the country. And that
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: was the thing that they could really really overcome a
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: lot with was was that, you know, Texas loses a
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: lot of the you know, the best maybe the best
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: offensive line that they've had in ten plus years. You know,
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: major I think is the big loss. Banks is a
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: big loss, but they had a guys step in for them.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: The'll be archery solid. Yeah.
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: Arch Manning still has never thrown for more than two
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: thousand and nine yards, and the last time that he
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: started a meaningful game. Dude through for sixty yards, no
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: touchdowns and two interceptions. So that's a lot of projection
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: right now. And if you want to get excited about
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: what he did against Mississippi State and Louisiana Monroe, have
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: at it. Be excited, but there's a lot to ask
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: that young man in year one to go out and
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: do all the stuff that they're putting on his shoulders.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: There's just no team right now across the entire I
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: mean maybe Clemson has the most what you're brought back
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: and progression that over every.
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: Lot Clemson does. I mean, we've seen the height of
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: club Nick, We've seen the lows. But yeah, yeah, he's he.
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: They they brought back a lot of good pieces for him,
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: and that defensive line is going to be fun to watch.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: I bought money were on the streets. Gillory is going
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: to be hard to keep off the field at corner. YEP.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: Very lots of Courtland Guillery talk lots. I've actually heard
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: some nukeam as Jeremiah Nucom as well as Devon Jordan
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: as well, But Corland Guillery is the true freshman and
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, bank on him finding away on the field.
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: He's one that my my, I'm Mike, Okay, give me
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: because he's a bigger corner. He likes to hit and
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: that's what I like. And then Gimmy, of course I
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: had about Jivanni. I think he's out the boot. That's
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: what we know. He's out the boot. I saw the
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: pictures in walking around. It sounds like he's going through
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: individual drills, probably by himself, him and Jayden. We're just
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: waiting for them to be able to get clear for contact.
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: In July one, he was out of the boot. It's
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: four to six weeks out of the boot, you get
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: to go into get ready rehab, and so that's that'd
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: be the twenty eighth through the of August, So maybe
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: a week from today he's out there running around with
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: weight on, with some pads on. I don't think that
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: he is going to be taking any type of I
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna be taken any type of contacts
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: untill probably the last week of the season, and then
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: you're gonna want to run him out there and see,
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: because I mean, if you look at what he looks
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: like physically, I mean, he looks a lot like Terrell Owens,
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: you know, when he when he was in college.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: That's a good point. All right, We're go out of here.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: Another fun Sunday hanging out with you all. We will
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: get back to probably twice a week sometime this month
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: as more practice propaganda's popping up. I know the team
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: at the day off today, you're tomorrow, we'll get back
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: to it, pads on and we'll wait to see and
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: knock on wood that nothing bad happens. Think out of
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: pulling up hit the like button if you need to chance.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: Subscribe also with that benification so you don't miss any
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: of the other videos coming down. I'm gonna be breaking
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: down the weight of the players going into this season,
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: so there's a lot of weight change that happened from
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: spring into the fall. Which the weight recent ones we
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: had is July thirty July eighth, just from the July
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: thirty first roster. July eighth is when the weight came in.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: But we'll get the final weights at the end of
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: August when the final depth tart comes. So Coop Jay,
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: we'll chop it up with each and every single one
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: of you in a couple of days. Fixed
