  Speaker 1: You might think, how would a kid put on a
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: football helmet and not know there's a cotton mouth in there?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Well, in those football helmets there's a lot of you know,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: pads and areas for the snake to kind of work
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: its way in there and get up and hide and
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: not be directly against your head. How did the snake
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: get into the helmet? Well, you know you'd take it off,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: you throw it on the ground. You're over there having
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: a meeting on the ground. Well, our coach never let
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: our helmets touch the ground. But I don't know how
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: they do things. That wasn't a baby one, That was
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a big one. It might have been in the kid's
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: locker and the snake is like, hey, this is just
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: a good place to crash for the night. Maybe the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: snake had too much to drink wandered its way in there.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe it'd be a good motivator for the Black Shirts.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Let's put snakes in their helmets.

  Speaker 2: Edition with Sean Callahan Live and Lincoln and Jim Rose
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: right here.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: All right, Seana, how you doing do?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Good? Good morning? Gentlemen.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Do you ever have a snake in your helmet when
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you were playing for the gross Hide Cougars.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: No, I do remember that scene from Arachnophobia, the movie
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: whereas Spider got inside the kid's helmet and he takes
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: a big shot in the football field and they think
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: he goes down because of the hit. Will Spider bit
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: him and kill them?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, well nothing like football.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Football called John Goodman.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's visit about some players. There's a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: couple of guys out there. A lot of people are
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: wondering whether they're ever going to turn out or how
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: good are they? What's their status? And I want to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: ask you about a couple of those guys, because you're
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: on top of everybody. What is the deal with Justin
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Rhett This was the Georgia transfer. Is this guy going
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to be a key factor at safety this year?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I still when I look at that group, I still
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: think he might be on the outside looking in. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: mean he's still right there. But remember Rex got three
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: is now back. Jowayne McDougall was brought in as a
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: starter that was at San Diego State. You have Jamir Kahn.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I mean those are kind of the three main safeties.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: When I like look at then Caleb Benning and Justin Redd.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, so you've got four or five guys that
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: can play there and they've all been repping. It's early
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: in camp, but yeah, the talent's there. Last day's Bishop
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Gorman kid that went to Georgia. But yeah, you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: as far as winning the job, it remains to be
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: seen because you have now last year starter healthy and
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: then a new coach and the coordinator. Then obviously he
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: brought one of his starters with him and Joyn McDougal.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Now what about Jason Shiggs? Is he a factor?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he'd be in that conversation too. You know, he
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: was kind of under the radar Portal edition, so it's
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: really hard to say where he kind of fits in
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: at this point. But you know, they brought him in.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: You know, it was not by any means like a
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: big money ad, more of a depth piece ad that
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: they brought in. But you know, special teams probably could
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: be an option too for some of these guys.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Now, the running back room I think is still a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: big question. I don't think they're going to be running
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the ball a lot anyway, but you do have to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: have a feature back and I don't know how you
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: replace Emma Johnson's versatility. Who do you think is going
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to emerge out of that room?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Well, you got to look at it like this way.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: There's probably gonna be about thirty five touches in a
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: game for the Backs, whether it's on the ground or
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: through the air, air maybe forty. Mean, last year they
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: were blessed enough with Emma Johnson that he could take
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: ninety percent of those touches. And they don't have obviously
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: somebody of that caliber at least right now. I mean,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I still think Makai Nelson and Isaiah Mosey and Jamal Rule,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: that combination, it will just split that up. And you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Mkai Nelson looks really good physically when you see him
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: from say a year ago. Mosey has had a great offseason.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: They love Jamal Rule. Tyke Hayes is kind of a
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: wild card coming in late from Penn State from Iowa
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Western where he kind of fits. He's the one guy
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: that could really shake that conversation up. The nice thing
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: is they have those first three games where they're gonna
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: be heavy favorites at home or ideally you can kind
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: of let that room figure itself out.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Do you think Quinton Ives We've seen the best of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Quinton Ives yet.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't put him up. I mean, I
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: think those first four guys are ahead of him, so
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: he's probably your fifth option down. He does not have
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: like that that second gear of speed. If you remember
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: last year, we got to see him play more in
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the Houston Christian game because mkay Nelson was suspended, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: you know, he had some kind of what we're you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: breakaway runs at any back on the team would have
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: gotten because of the discreptancy of talent and he just
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: didn't look fluid and good running in the open or
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: McKay nelson. They would have been easy touchdowns. So I
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: think he does some good things, but he doesn't have
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: that speed to kind of break away and and and
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: do some of the things Mane the other guys can do.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: When you throw a mere Brown into the mix, that's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: six scholarship running backs? Is that too many?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Who a mere Uh?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Next year here when you throw a mere Brown in there?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: And you know.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Down Connor well, Connor Booth's in that conversation as well,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: But no, you want to have options. I think when
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: you when you look at that group, you want a
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: number of options in there. And you know that top
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: four is pretty good. I mean, I think that's a
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: really solid group of four backs. I mean Mosey in
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: the guy they just brought in, Tyke Hayes from Penn State.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I you know, those two guys are our former four
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: star guys. And then you know you get down the
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: line of Mikai Nelson being you know, it's a it's
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: a solid group of backs. They've they's got to let
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: kind of figure out how they want to rotate them
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: and play them here in the games.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's ahead this week.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Well, they will practice today and then Tomorrow is an
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: off day, and then they'll come back Friday and Saturday
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and they'll scrimmage probably Saturday. So today I believe is
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: their last day in the dorms before the players move
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: out of the dorms. But yeah, camp's moving along. The
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: heat is here like they've they've kind of been practicing
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: at different times.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, Eric, Well there you have the gist of it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: We're going to have a scrimmage on Saturday. Sad that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we lost a shuttle there
