- 1:08Speaker 3: It's you know, we're starting to get some summer weather.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Got the Oklahoma. You know, caret's weather going on right
- 1:15Speaker 3: now where you go rain and fifty degrees and then
- 1:19Speaker 3: ninety and sunny and then it rains again, so you know,
- 1:21Speaker 3: you know, just the fun that we have. I think
- 1:23Speaker 3: we had a tornado siren accidentally go off and freak
- 1:25Speaker 3: people well here in Tulsa.
- 1:27Speaker 1: So right, that's pretty terrible, And I definitely would not
- 1:31Speaker 1: want to be an circumstance because anytime I hear them
- 1:34Speaker 1: outside of twelve o'clock Central Time on a Saturday, when
- 1:39Speaker 1: I'm concerned.
- 1:42Speaker 2: You're you're you don't embrace the full Oklahoma.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Where like out here in our neighborhood when they start
- 1:47Speaker 3: going off and everybody goes outside and sits on the
- 1:49Speaker 3: front porch and starts looking around, and.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Oh, I embrace that part. I'm trying to figure out
- 1:54Speaker 1: if I need to freak out or not. Is really
- 1:56Speaker 1: why I do it? Because there's nothing good about uh yeah,
- 2:02Speaker 1: a tornado trying to pull up. So but uh no,
- 2:06Speaker 1: thank y'all for joining us per the norm. We've got
- 2:10Speaker 1: a lot of fun stuff of course to talk about.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Sooners saw some NFL draft picks, you know, well, let's
- 2:16Speaker 1: go ahead and open with that. Coop. We had a
- 2:20Speaker 1: couple of nice picks come out, come down the line.
- 2:22Speaker 1: You got to see Danny Stutsman drafted here. He got
- 2:28Speaker 1: picked up in the fourth round, the number one hundred
- 2:31Speaker 1: and twelfth pick to the New Orleans Saints. So I
- 2:35Speaker 1: love these backyard football graphics. I think they're like the
- 2:39Speaker 1: the funniest thing in the world because the game is back.
- 2:41Speaker 1: I don't know if most of y'all know that I
- 2:43Speaker 1: played backyard ball like crazy as a kid, and I'm
- 2:48Speaker 1: one hundred percent downloaded the baseball, went to my phone
- 2:52Speaker 1: and waiting for football to get here, so that can
- 2:54Speaker 1: jump all over it. But Danny to the Saints start.
- 3:01Speaker 1: I love it and I hate it.
- 3:04Speaker 2: You hate it because they're in your division.
- 3:06Speaker 1: The tank exactly, I get to play. I gotta play
- 3:08Speaker 1: against him. Baker gets tackled by Danny Stutsman. That doesn't
- 3:13Speaker 1: have a good ring to it.
- 3:16Speaker 2: I like this.
- 3:17Speaker 3: I thought Danny needed to go to a team where
- 3:19Speaker 3: it is gonna allow the linebacker to, you know, be
- 3:22Speaker 3: more of a run stopper, blitzer, you know, not put
- 3:26Speaker 3: them in massive coverage you know often, And you know
- 3:30Speaker 3: that's a New Orleans Saints they want. They want to
- 3:33Speaker 3: rush the pass, or they want to get up field,
- 3:35Speaker 3: they want to bring the linebacker on blitzes.
- 3:38Speaker 2: So I like it. I mean, I like this for Danny.
- 3:41Speaker 3: We uh, at the end of this, we'll kind of
- 3:44Speaker 3: have to talk about how there's a lot of Sooners
- 3:46Speaker 3: over there in the is that the NFC South, Is
- 3:49Speaker 3: that the the the division, So the nfbruth is now
- 3:53Speaker 3: a ton of them, and so yeah, pretty pretty excited.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Congratulations to Danny in the whole family, to Steve and everybody.
- 4:03Speaker 3: If you saw the clip on Twitter, you know, Papatov
- 4:07Speaker 3: had himself a little Twitter fame here because it looks
- 4:11Speaker 3: like the GM try to call his dad first and
- 4:14Speaker 3: he was.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Unable to answer the phone.
- 4:16Speaker 3: Don't know what was going on, but knowing Steve, he
- 4:19Speaker 3: was right there right next to Danny. So man, just
- 4:21Speaker 3: congratulations to the family. Pretty pretty cool, pretty cool to
- 4:26Speaker 3: see this.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really cool to see that he that this,
- 4:31Speaker 1: this this happened for Danny. He got drafted, which is
- 4:34Speaker 1: always the closet plus and the most important part is
- 4:37Speaker 1: that they got drafted. That's what you wanted. You wanted
- 4:40Speaker 1: to see your players get drafted and picked up from
- 4:45Speaker 1: you know, other programs. So I'm excited to see that
- 4:50Speaker 1: for our boy Danny. And like I said, the Saints,
- 4:52Speaker 1: really really good pick up. Next up, you had our
- 4:55Speaker 1: boy Billy Bowman four picks later, around one hundred and
- 5:00Speaker 1: eighteen by the Falcons. And I was listening to Gabe
- 5:05Speaker 1: and Teddy talk about this, okay breakdown earlier today while
- 5:08Speaker 1: I was at the gym, and I gotta agree with
- 5:13Speaker 1: Teddy here, Billy in that Atlanta Falcons Jersey gonna look clean.
- 5:19Speaker 2: He's gonna look dirty.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Dirty bird and just the way that he runs around, Yeah,
- 5:26Speaker 1: that gonna be clean. I agree with him on that.
- 5:31Speaker 1: But I love seeing that Danny got picked up. I
- 5:33Speaker 1: mean Billy I picked up as well. Good spot. He
- 5:37Speaker 1: gets to be Raheem Morris, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers uh
- 5:42Speaker 1: D dB coach and DC at one point head coach.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Unfortunately he was too young to really capitalize on it.
- 5:50Speaker 1: But just no shade there. Moving to the Falcons, I
- 5:53Speaker 1: think it's a really really good pick up.
- 5:54Speaker 3: How you feel about it, I mean, I agree with
- 5:58Speaker 3: you one hundred percent. He's gonna look uh really really clean.
- 6:01Speaker 3: And those uh, those those those black uniforms. You know
- 6:04Speaker 3: that Billy Bowman is going to be a guy who
- 6:08Speaker 3: is going to have himself a long career, you know. Uh,
- 6:10Speaker 3: you know, knock On Wood got to keep the keep
- 6:13Speaker 3: away from the injury bug.
- 6:14Speaker 2: But uh, outside of that.
- 6:15Speaker 3: You know, he's gonna get out there and give him
- 6:17Speaker 3: a chance to to make some plays on defense. And
- 6:21Speaker 3: you know, I like it too, because the Falcons right now,
- 6:23Speaker 3: they've got a young team. They're going to just really
- 6:28Speaker 3: you know, give him an opportunity to uh to to
- 6:31Speaker 3: pick a role. You know, in in our defense, Uh,
- 6:34Speaker 3: Billy was very very aggressive, used him in a lot
- 6:37Speaker 3: of different ways. So I'm really excited to see how
- 6:39Speaker 3: Raheem Morris is going to uh, you know, put him
- 6:42Speaker 3: out there on the field and we'll see what he
- 6:44Speaker 3: can what he can do. And you know, as far
- 6:46Speaker 3: as his speed, I think that in at Oklahoma, Billy
- 6:51Speaker 3: and Danny are these two guys are the you know,
- 6:55Speaker 3: deserve a lot of credit for what they did with
- 6:57Speaker 3: this defense. You know, they you know, when these guys started,
- 7:00Speaker 3: this defense was not respectable. This defense was not good.
- 7:03Speaker 3: It could not be confused with being good. And so
- 7:06Speaker 3: I got to see, you know, I get to see
- 7:09Speaker 3: little Billy, you know, he's he's moved around quite a bit,
- 7:14Speaker 3: you know, as a sooner, and I think it's gonna
- 7:17Speaker 3: be different in the NFL. He's going to have a
- 7:18Speaker 3: particular role that he's going to run and that's gonna
- 7:21Speaker 3: be really really good for him.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Yeah, and the sad part is for you know, the
- 7:27Speaker 1: exciting part, I'm sorry I said, but exciting part for
- 7:29Speaker 1: Billy listening to Teddy and them talk about it. The
- 7:32Speaker 1: big thing. They believe that he'll probably play more nickel,
- 7:35Speaker 1: which makes sense at its hype. He's measured at five
- 7:39Speaker 1: ten like one, he'll probably get up to two hundred.
- 7:43Speaker 1: But to answer your question, Ronnie ran a four four
- 7:45Speaker 1: to two forty. You tell me if that's capable to
- 7:48Speaker 1: play at the NFL level. I'll let you answer that question.
- 7:51Speaker 1: But Billy's gonna be pretty good at the He could
- 7:55Speaker 1: be good at the nickel, especially with his ability to
- 7:58Speaker 1: shed blocks and get into the backfield to get tackles
- 8:03Speaker 1: or even shadow like. His film from the Senior Bowl
- 8:06Speaker 1: was fun. I mean, it wasn't perfect, but he lined
- 8:09Speaker 1: up well against tight ends and was knocking down passes
- 8:12Speaker 1: and did a good job keeping up with wide receivers.
- 8:14Speaker 1: So as long as he maintains the same you know,
- 8:17Speaker 1: aggression that he had at the collegiate level. I think
- 8:20Speaker 1: Billy Bowman will see a lot of success. Same thing
- 8:23Speaker 1: I see with with with with Danny at in that conference,
- 8:31Speaker 1: in that division and conference. Honestly, they're very heavy runners.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Philly's a big runner. I mean, Atlanta they ain't got much.
- 8:44Speaker 1: They ain't in a quarterback. I put it this way.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Their entire division is quarterback lists. Besides Baker Mayfield. Let's
- 8:51Speaker 1: try to figure that out. Saint thing got no quarterback yet.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Atlanta's I mean they got Panics, but they're still trying
- 8:56Speaker 1: to figure that out. Carolina, Bryce Young, the jury is
- 9:02Speaker 1: still out. So luckily for for Danny, he ain't got
- 9:06Speaker 1: to deal with no quarterbacks and no problems besides Baker.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Same thing with Billy. So yeah, if you stop the run,
- 9:14Speaker 1: you're good. And the good thing is Billy, both Billy
- 9:16Speaker 1: and Daniel really good at top in the run.
- 9:18Speaker 3: So yeah, maybe it is, and you know, we'll see, uh,
- 9:23Speaker 3: we'll see what it looks like. You know, I think
- 9:24Speaker 3: the jury is still out in Carolina. You know, yeah,
- 9:30Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta think that that that franchise is
- 9:33Speaker 3: always going to have its own tribulations and turmoil, and
- 9:38Speaker 3: so you know that this is it is good. You know,
- 9:41Speaker 3: I liked uh his A. J Tarrell is the defensive back.
- 9:44Speaker 3: He's a he's you know, really good corner for the Falcons.
- 9:47Speaker 3: So they've got some good coverage options out there, and
- 9:49Speaker 3: so Billy, you know, hopefully give a chance to uh
- 9:52Speaker 3: to play some truth center field.
- 9:55Speaker 2: And I was.
- 9:56Speaker 3: Looking at They've got Jordan Fuller at safety and Jesse
- 10:00Speaker 3: Bates the third. You know, it doesn't look like either
- 10:03Speaker 3: of these guys, you know, Jordan Fuller, that that might
- 10:07Speaker 3: be a he was a twenty twenty draft pick and
- 10:11Speaker 3: you know by the Rams, so he's seen a few
- 10:14Speaker 3: different teams already, and so I think that's a it's
- 10:17Speaker 3: a spot for Billy to go in and compete for.
- 10:20Speaker 3: So that's you know, that's good. So I ought to
- 10:22Speaker 3: brush up and look at look at that stuff as
- 10:25Speaker 3: we get along. But you know, the NFL draft this
- 10:28Speaker 3: year it seemed to be all about, uh, you know,
- 10:31Speaker 3: all about the shad Or Sanders and I really don't
- 10:33Speaker 3: want to get into that, but you know, there was
- 10:35Speaker 3: we didn't have a lot out there, and I think
- 10:39Speaker 3: that you know, I.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Want to see more. We got to start seeing more
- 10:42Speaker 2: sooners hit.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get to that a little bit later.
- 10:45Speaker 3: And uh and but I do think that you know, again,
- 10:48Speaker 3: this was it's been you know, it's been a few
- 10:51Speaker 3: years since we've had you know, really really high draft
- 10:53Speaker 3: picks with the defensive side. And so you know, see
- 10:56Speaker 3: Billy and Danny get out there. Want to see them
- 10:58Speaker 3: go make a name for themselves and get recognition as
- 11:01Speaker 3: you know, as sooner defenders that are making the NFL rosters.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Right now the Falcons. And what's interesting, the Falcons also
- 11:09Speaker 1: picked up Xavier Watts from Notre Dame. So it makes
- 11:13Speaker 1: me think that they see Billy as either playing a
- 11:16Speaker 1: strong or, like I said, a nickel, which we all
- 11:19Speaker 1: know that Billy is really good at tackling and stuffing
- 11:23Speaker 1: the run. So totally totally here for that. So I'm
- 11:30Speaker 1: glad that we may we got those runs. All right,
- 11:32Speaker 1: let' look at some of the other NFL potentials we
- 11:35Speaker 1: had in here. So outside of Billy and Danny, you
- 11:40Speaker 1: had a lot of invites. And I think that that's
- 11:47Speaker 1: a big foundational piece for your team is when you
- 11:50Speaker 1: can get guys signed as undracted free agents of course,
- 11:55Speaker 1: first and foremost, you want to always get drafted. That
- 12:00Speaker 1: regardless when people say, oh, it's probably better to go
- 12:05Speaker 1: and you know, go undrafted. You can kind of pick
- 12:08Speaker 1: where you want to go. No, guys that are drafted
- 12:11Speaker 1: are usually always placed first in the pecking order when
- 12:13Speaker 1: it comes to rotations. Then undrafted guys you gotta kind
- 12:16Speaker 1: of justify the selection you make. So it's better to
- 12:18Speaker 1: get drafted. But it's not bad being undrafted, because we've
- 12:21Speaker 1: seen undrafted players flourish. First off, you had Michael Tarkin,
- 12:25Speaker 1: he got picked up Carolina Panthers. He signed himself a
- 12:29Speaker 1: free agent contract. Pretty good. Carolina has already got Andrew
- 12:34Speaker 1: Ram as well, and Ray moved up. I think he
- 12:36Speaker 1: moved up in the depth chart by the you know,
- 12:39Speaker 1: as the as the season progressed and he got healthy.
- 12:44Speaker 1: So don't think that that's a bad thing for another
- 12:48Speaker 1: sooner to you know, be out there in Carolina right
- 12:54Speaker 1: behind him. On signatures, you got de Jon Terry's headed
- 12:58Speaker 1: to the Rams. Big into your body. Even Downs unfortunately
- 13:05Speaker 1: did not work his way into getting drafted, but he
- 13:07Speaker 1: did sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars. To me, that's pretty big,
- 13:12Speaker 1: and I bet that gives him a really good chance
- 13:14Speaker 1: to actually stick. So I'm not sure if Josh Allen
- 13:18Speaker 1: is still there, not the quarterback, but the actual edge.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Then you had Trace four with the Giants. I think
- 13:26Speaker 1: that's some nice little pickup. So cool which you think
- 13:30Speaker 1: about those four actually getting signatures as undragted free agents.
- 13:35Speaker 2: You know, I like Tarquin.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Tarquin was was a really good corner piece for the
- 13:40Speaker 3: offensive line this year. I think he was probably the
- 13:42Speaker 3: most consistent guy just throughout the whole year. You know,
- 13:46Speaker 3: he battle some injuries, and so get in there, make
- 13:50Speaker 3: football everything your life, your focus. Uh, you know, get
- 13:53Speaker 3: in there and do that. To John Terry, I really
- 13:56Speaker 3: like this because when you're a defendive defensive line guy
- 13:59Speaker 3: and you going to the Rams, you know he can go.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Aaron Donald is an obvious, uh you know, freak of nature.
- 14:07Speaker 3: And so if you're to John Terry, I would buddy
- 14:10Speaker 3: up as quick as possible to some of those veterans
- 14:14Speaker 3: and start learning learn that work ethic.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Uh.
- 14:17Speaker 3: You know I've seen, you know, even just past couple
- 14:19Speaker 3: of days and Aaron Donald there in the weight room,
- 14:24Speaker 3: you know, becoming a bigger superhero than he already is.
- 14:27Speaker 3: So you know, not too bad Ethan going to Jacksonville.
- 14:33Speaker 3: I mean, I hate the franchise just all all together.
- 14:37Speaker 3: But there's got there, there's some excitement, There's gonna be
- 14:40Speaker 3: some there's gonna be some eyeballs on there. With Travis
- 14:43Speaker 3: Hunter being you know, it's picked up with the number
- 14:46Speaker 3: two pick. They traded up to get him, and so
- 14:48Speaker 3: I think that that's going.
- 14:49Speaker 2: To be good. You know, hopefully we can see Trevor
- 14:51Speaker 2: Lawrence bounce back.
- 14:52Speaker 3: He's got some extra weapons and he's got some more
- 14:55Speaker 3: uh you know, he's he's got a lot to prove.
- 14:58Speaker 3: And so the Jacksonville Jaguar there gonna be a team
- 15:00Speaker 3: who there's not a lot of expectations. Hopefully they put
- 15:03Speaker 3: their head down and just kind of get to work.
- 15:05Speaker 3: You know, we'll probably see Ethan playing in some preseason games.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Jacksonville is always good for a game in Beijing or
- 15:13Speaker 3: Canada or you know, Zimbabwe or wherever they end up,
- 15:17Speaker 3: you know, playing the NFL games overseas. Jacksonville is usually
- 15:20Speaker 3: one of the candidates to to go do that, and
- 15:22Speaker 3: so he'll get to uh get to get some full
- 15:25Speaker 3: you know, ural NFL experience. Wondering if Ethan's going to
- 15:29Speaker 3: be able to you know, maybe slide in and take
- 15:33Speaker 3: a special team spot, you know, maybe an up back
- 15:35Speaker 3: or something like that.
- 15:36Speaker 2: You know, a blocker.
- 15:37Speaker 3: You know, that guy's a lunch pail guy, and he's
- 15:39Speaker 3: gonna go in he's gonna.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Work his butt off.
- 15:41Speaker 3: So you know, I'm excited to see him get in
- 15:44Speaker 3: there and just really put his nose down and get
- 15:46Speaker 3: to work.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Yep, and then trace four it there at the Giants.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Man and then trace four in the Giants.
- 15:52Speaker 3: I mean, the Giants always come out with guys who
- 15:55Speaker 3: you know, they're they're known for, you know, turning defensive
- 15:58Speaker 3: ends into something special, and you know, best of luck
- 16:04Speaker 3: to trace forward hopefully, you know, the health concerns are
- 16:07Speaker 3: all put together. I know some of the numbers you know,
- 16:10Speaker 3: weren't spectacular, but you know, again, this is the time
- 16:13Speaker 3: where they're bringing people in and find your role. Go
- 16:16Speaker 3: find what you're really really good at. Be really really
- 16:18Speaker 3: good at that one thing. And you know, when you're
- 16:22Speaker 3: the late super late, you know, seventh round draft picks
- 16:25Speaker 3: and these free agent signings, you just need to go
- 16:28Speaker 3: in there and find out where you can stick. You know,
- 16:31Speaker 3: if it is him needing to do, you know, be
- 16:35Speaker 3: a practice squad guy or being a special teams guy.
- 16:38Speaker 2: You know, go do it.
- 16:38Speaker 3: But you know, again, you give him an opportunity. That's
- 16:41Speaker 3: all you need is you know, you're part of a
- 16:43Speaker 3: very very very small percentage of football players that actually
- 16:47Speaker 3: make it to the league. And so you go in
- 16:50Speaker 3: and you get some really some special moments in the
- 16:53Speaker 3: preseason and hopefully, you know, you either find yourself signed
- 16:56Speaker 3: to the team or you put on a show and
- 16:59Speaker 3: somebody else can can pick you up.
- 17:01Speaker 1: That's very much true. And then you got your guys
- 17:04Speaker 1: that accepted many camp offers, which this to me warms
- 17:09Speaker 1: my heart. You got Cayden Woollard, he accepted one to
- 17:12Speaker 1: the No, I'm sorry, this is el Zinger. Luke Elzinga
- 17:15Speaker 1: gets one for the Tennessee Titans. You got Caden Woollard
- 17:19Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, you know, which is close to the crib,
- 17:22Speaker 1: which is awesome. That means Pops can pull up yep.
- 17:25Speaker 1: You've got Jake Roberts to the Raiders and they could
- 17:30Speaker 1: use it tight end Casey and the Raiders both offered
- 17:33Speaker 1: him any camp invites, which is pretty cool, and I
- 17:37Speaker 1: know can the Chiefs definitely offered specifically because you know
- 17:42Speaker 1: proximity and the luck they've had with Oklahoma tight ends.
- 17:46Speaker 1: I think Blake Bell is still on the roster, been
- 17:50Speaker 1: there forever. And then you had Spencer Brown. The Buccaneers
- 17:56Speaker 1: extended him and offer and he accepted to go to
- 17:59Speaker 1: that any camp as well. So I'd love to see
- 18:04Speaker 1: that for Willard, especially Indianapolis being close to the crib
- 18:09Speaker 1: and he's got the big size and ability. He just
- 18:12Speaker 1: got to show up, that's it. If he shows up,
- 18:14Speaker 1: there's a good chance he could find himself on at
- 18:18Speaker 1: minimum practice squad or push his way into the final five.
- 18:22Speaker 1: I think he definitely would make practice squad by just
- 18:24Speaker 1: showing up with his physical tools and all he's got
- 18:27Speaker 1: to do is grind it, man, gotta grind it.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Jay.
- 18:31Speaker 3: I really really like, I really like, you know the
- 18:35Speaker 3: Raiders pick up just because I mean I really think
- 18:41Speaker 3: you know you've got is that Pete Carroll now back
- 18:43Speaker 3: in Pete back in Oakland, and you know they they
- 18:48Speaker 3: bring in Jami. Yeah, yes, Las Vegas Raiders that is,
- 18:52Speaker 3: and so you know he who they got the Georgia
- 18:57Speaker 3: tight end, brought Bowers in Las Vegas and so uh,
- 19:02Speaker 3: that guy had himself a rookie season, and so Jake
- 19:05Speaker 3: is going to come in and this is depth. You know,
- 19:07Speaker 3: whether that's going to be a blocking tight end. You know,
- 19:11Speaker 3: when when Blake Bell was still with Kansas City he
- 19:14Speaker 3: is actually retired now, but when he was still with
- 19:16Speaker 3: Kansas City, you know, he went from quarterback to you know,
- 19:21Speaker 3: pass catching tight end to that guy who is just
- 19:24Speaker 3: you know, kind of the other guy there with Kelsey
- 19:27Speaker 3: running routes. And you know, now they've got different tight ends,
- 19:29Speaker 3: and you know, the tight end has become a spot
- 19:32Speaker 3: in the league to where you can go and find
- 19:33Speaker 3: yourself a sticking spot, be a good blocker, and then
- 19:36Speaker 3: every once in a while when you're called to leak
- 19:38Speaker 3: out and go do something, run your out, pristine, run
- 19:40Speaker 3: it crisp, and uh, those quarterbacks will find the ball.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Yeah, NFL, when it comes to tight ends, you're starting
- 19:50Speaker 1: to see it's pretty easy to get. You get yourself
- 19:55Speaker 1: an opportunity because it's hard to find him. Like quarterbacks. Man,
- 19:58Speaker 1: it's it's a tough one. So that's all of our
- 20:02Speaker 1: players that got some love hoping the comments. If y'all
- 20:05Speaker 1: I got questions, feel free to pop them in there. Also,
- 20:09Speaker 1: if you want to jump to the top of the
- 20:10Speaker 1: line on a question. Definitely do a super chat. We
- 20:14Speaker 1: appreciate the love and support it the light button. If
- 20:16Speaker 1: you did to the child subscribe rate review, give us
- 20:19Speaker 1: five to those listening to the audio side of it.
- 20:24Speaker 1: That's the good news on the bad news on the
- 20:26Speaker 1: coop is we only had two players drafted this year. Now, granted,
- 20:32Speaker 1: we were hopeful for Ethan Downs. We were that didn't
- 20:37Speaker 1: come to fruition because I thought that if anybody outside
- 20:43Speaker 1: of Billy and Danny had a chance, it was probably
- 20:45Speaker 1: gonna be them. Now, granted, if Billy and Danny had
- 20:47Speaker 1: left last year, they're probably drafted same spot, a little
- 20:50Speaker 1: bit higher, and you have way more people drafted than
- 20:53Speaker 1: last year's draft. That's the thing that concerns me is
- 20:56Speaker 1: you only had two players. Well, John, I'll have another
- 21:00Speaker 1: you know, coming out this week. Just talking more in
- 21:02Speaker 1: details than that. But this was a very interesting, very
- 21:11Speaker 1: interesting drop by let me see by Chris Lowe in
- 21:21Speaker 1: regards to this. He dropped this on the ex bird
- 21:26Speaker 1: of course, and this is what he has. Last six
- 21:34Speaker 1: last four NFL drafts SEC rounds one through three. Oklahoma's
- 21:41Speaker 1: right there, six players draft in the first three rounds
- 21:44Speaker 1: and the last four NFL drafts, Texas had thirteen. We're
- 21:50Speaker 1: right there, tied with Florida, with Arkansas, Missouri, Auburn, Missippi State,
- 21:55Speaker 1: and Vanderbilt underneath us. This right here is what Oklahoma
- 21:59Speaker 1: needs to fit. You cannot expect to be a competitor
- 22:06Speaker 1: long term with just that.
- 22:10Speaker 2: True. You need more, You need more.
- 22:14Speaker 3: I mean, if there's any saving grace, you look up
- 22:17Speaker 3: at Texas, A and M who has just absolutely just
- 22:21Speaker 3: ran shop in recruiting for the past several years. And
- 22:24Speaker 3: it's only eight but uh, you know, I think you
- 22:28Speaker 3: got your you got your reason slash excuses, right, it's
- 22:33Speaker 3: guys coming back. People are willing to come back for
- 22:37Speaker 3: nil dollars and to make some coin. And then you know,
- 22:41Speaker 3: instead of going and you know, braving the fourth, fifth, sixth,
- 22:44Speaker 3: seventh round or undrafted, and you know, I would say
- 22:49Speaker 3: this is you look at the last three years and
- 22:55Speaker 3: what we thought was great talent just across the board
- 22:58Speaker 3: has you know, has been shuffled almost every single year
- 23:02Speaker 3: for three straight years. You just got to be better.
- 23:04Speaker 3: I mean that they're playing a simple ja it's got
- 23:06Speaker 3: to be better. And you start seeing some of these things.
- 23:10Speaker 3: You look at Georgia, you look at Alabama and like,
- 23:12Speaker 3: that's a you know, that's a U L.
- 23:15Speaker 2: S U up there. Also.
- 23:17Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if all thirteen of those
- 23:19Speaker 3: are wide receivers or not, but but you know, they
- 23:22Speaker 3: continue to have it up there at Texas has now
- 23:26Speaker 3: you know, kind of lapped us in the past couple
- 23:28Speaker 3: of years. And that's so all that trash talking about
- 23:31Speaker 3: Texas having no first rounders, no draft picks, et cetera,
- 23:34Speaker 3: and all that stuff is old news now and now
- 23:36Speaker 3: it's it's it's time for some of these guys to
- 23:39Speaker 3: you know, to put in the work and get get
- 23:41Speaker 3: it out, get after it.
- 23:43Speaker 1: You know, it's not no, it's not old news. Twenty
- 23:48Speaker 1: two years straight of having at least two people drafted.
- 23:51Speaker 1: That ain't. Yes, very few people can.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Say that, yeah, that's that's true. And but you're going
- 23:58Speaker 3: to see you know, more kind of middle of the
- 24:02Speaker 3: pack years if we don't you know, do better on
- 24:07Speaker 3: the evaluations and do better on coaching them up to
- 24:10Speaker 3: doing more into being better, you know, because again we
- 24:13Speaker 3: want to see these numbers be bigger. That's just playing
- 24:15Speaker 3: that simple. You got to have these numbers be bigger,
- 24:17Speaker 3: and so you can't keep on pointing to well, you
- 24:20Speaker 3: know next year, well, well next year, well, next year,
- 24:23Speaker 3: you know the numbers, it's just brass tacks and facts.
- 24:27Speaker 2: You gotta gotta look at what you have here.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Yeah, at some point you got to get to having
- 24:33Speaker 1: more of these. We'd hit double digits now. Granted, I
- 24:36Speaker 1: do think this year we have a great opportunity for it.
- 24:39Speaker 1: I just need the players to show up. I mean,
- 24:42Speaker 1: you've got some really good players that we all are
- 24:46Speaker 1: very high on that could get you a few more
- 24:50Speaker 1: within the first couple of rounds. You if you have well,
- 24:56Speaker 1: I mean technically, you have a few offensive linemen that
- 24:58Speaker 1: are younger that you think could probably the first round
- 25:00Speaker 1: in Foge and Fasusi epl could be a second, a
- 25:05Speaker 1: day two guard with ease Wawo's probably late late round.
- 25:13Speaker 1: But on the line, I think Sexton could be Day
- 25:16Speaker 1: two if he gets it together. Derek Simmons is definitely
- 25:19Speaker 1: a Day two guy if he shows up this year
- 25:21Speaker 1: like you expect. And that's just the offensive line. Bert's
- 25:25Speaker 1: is pushing himself if he gets the numbers this year,
- 25:28Speaker 1: because he has the tools, He's probably gonna end up
- 25:32Speaker 1: easily day two late first, just because he's fast and
- 25:37Speaker 1: he's strong. Naturally he has the size. So yeah, we're
- 25:43Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty two years straight. Somebody being drafted. Can't
- 25:49Speaker 1: beat that. That's what you's at Least you can hang
- 25:51Speaker 1: that up. You can say that's a that's a good
- 25:54Speaker 1: thing to have that conversation with recruits on you send
- 25:58Speaker 1: the people to the draft, right basis you just gotta
- 26:01Speaker 1: you just gotta up the number. I mean, we haven't
- 26:04Speaker 1: recruited like Georgia since I mean honestly since the early
- 26:08Speaker 1: since you know, this century period or Alabama. Now now
- 26:14Speaker 1: you're in a new era. I see people having a
- 26:17Speaker 1: conversation around the roster spots. Eighty five scholarship twenty you
- 26:24Speaker 1: gotta have twenty walk ons. As of right now, we're
- 26:27Speaker 1: at the we're at the numbers we're supposed to be.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Plus once the settlement actually finishes, will probably add a
- 26:33Speaker 1: few more walk ons because that roster numbers should go up.
- 26:38Speaker 1: So I wouldn't be surprised that some of the players
- 26:40Speaker 1: in the portal come back. We'll talk about that on
- 26:41Speaker 1: the other side and a bit. But the big conversation
- 26:45Speaker 1: piece I want to have around this on the bad
- 26:47Speaker 1: news side is Oklahoma's gonna have to step this up.
- 26:50Speaker 1: But that's why you hired Jim Naggy. And this is
- 26:53Speaker 1: where Jim Naggy comes in and does the thing that
- 26:56Speaker 1: y'alln't like. He's gonna evaluate players and say, based upon
- 27:01Speaker 1: what I see and conversations I've had with NFL general managers,
- 27:06Speaker 1: NFL coaches on what they're looking for, these players are
- 27:11Speaker 1: NFL capable. These players are not. And you're gonna start
- 27:15Speaker 1: seeing some shuffling specifically because of that. It's gonna suck one.
- 27:24Speaker 1: You're gonna see people get out of you and be like, oh,
- 27:25Speaker 1: I thought that was a great player. Remember you got
- 27:29Speaker 1: none to do with us. It's gonna do everything with
- 27:32Speaker 1: the evaluation that that general manager. Like I said, Naggie's
- 27:35Speaker 1: not gonna bat a thousand, but he is looking for
- 27:39Speaker 1: players that makes sense, that will that will be NFL
- 27:48Speaker 1: caliber play people that will play on that can play
- 27:50Speaker 1: on Sundays, have a chance to play on Sundays. It
- 27:52Speaker 1: will get the opportunity to play on Sundays. The eight
- 27:55Speaker 1: players with four signed and four excepty mini camps, it's
- 27:59Speaker 1: not a bad thing. You just need more to be drafted,
- 28:03Speaker 1: but having eight more dudes that you know, people are
- 28:05Speaker 1: inviting into camp that could end up on a roster,
- 28:10Speaker 1: that's a plus. You just gotta get more guys drafted.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a there's a really a tough conversation
- 28:18Speaker 3: that comes with a lot of tough truths that I
- 28:20Speaker 3: think that at some point we're going to have to
- 28:22Speaker 3: have about if you want naggy to be naggy, then
- 28:26Speaker 3: you gotta let them be naggy. And I think that
- 28:29Speaker 3: you know, there's some gray areas of course in just
- 28:33Speaker 3: looking at stats and numbers and whatnot, and you know,
- 28:36Speaker 3: but it's it's a deal now to where I think
- 28:40Speaker 3: that programs across the country and you're starting to see
- 28:43Speaker 3: it a little bit more to where people aren't willing
- 28:46Speaker 3: to shell out a bunch of money for a dude
- 28:48Speaker 3: who's going to not earn that money, and that money
- 28:52Speaker 3: that you're offered is based off of performance, and you know,
- 28:56Speaker 3: so there's a lot of conversations happening right now. You
- 28:59Speaker 3: know with the players, you know, you've been here for
- 29:01Speaker 3: this many years, this is what you've produced on the field,
- 29:04Speaker 3: this is what you're getting paid in the equation you
- 29:08Speaker 3: may need. You may need a pay bump, you may
- 29:10Speaker 3: need a pay cut, and there's there's gonna be some
- 29:15Speaker 3: feelings that are gonna get ruffled in here, and especially
- 29:18Speaker 3: when it's you know, you're you're giving people money and
- 29:22Speaker 3: it's theirs and that's what they feel like.
- 29:24Speaker 2: It is theirs and if.
- 29:26Speaker 3: The production doesn't keep that money for them, then it
- 29:30Speaker 3: gets to a tough conversation. And I think that that's
- 29:34Speaker 3: where Naggie is looking at. He's not looking at you
- 29:37Speaker 3: know anything. I think that there's a there's a delicate
- 29:40Speaker 3: balance in what have you done on the field and
- 29:43Speaker 3: then what can you project to for the NFL, because
- 29:46Speaker 3: that's the whole point of this thing is you got
- 29:48Speaker 3: more NFL players on your team, you're going to have
- 29:51Speaker 3: more opportunity to win games. And I think I saw
- 29:54Speaker 3: it up there as uh six and seven leads to
- 29:57Speaker 3: to people drafted, and it just it just is what
- 30:00Speaker 3: it is. And you got to think about this, what
- 30:02Speaker 3: happened if Billy and Danny left last year? How many
- 30:04Speaker 3: people got drafted this year then zero? Or does somebody
- 30:08Speaker 3: else step up to somebody else go show you know,
- 30:11Speaker 3: you don't know, but it does have to be it
- 30:15Speaker 3: does have to be better. It does have to be better.
- 30:17Speaker 3: And that's that's on everybody. It's on the players, is
- 30:19Speaker 3: on the coaching staff. Because yeah, was a first time
- 30:22Speaker 3: since two thousand and four we didn't have an offensive
- 30:24Speaker 3: player drafted. You know, that's that's not something that you
- 30:28Speaker 3: want to see, especially with the offenses that we've been
- 30:33Speaker 3: associated with up until the past, you know year. So
- 30:38Speaker 3: we'll see, you know, nobody knows what's about to happen
- 30:40Speaker 3: this year. We have good expectations and that's why Naggie's
- 30:44Speaker 3: here is to put more players who are going to
- 30:47Speaker 3: be NFL talent. And if you are an NFL talent
- 30:50Speaker 3: and you have your head on straight and you come
- 30:52Speaker 3: in here and you you know, you acclimate to the
- 30:54Speaker 3: culture and you put in the hard work you're going
- 30:57Speaker 3: to you're going to have a great opportunity to be drafted.
- 31:00Speaker 3: And you know, let's say it, just sometimes NFL doesn't
- 31:04Speaker 3: get it right. I'm not at the mil kiper junior
- 31:07Speaker 3: to where you know, he went off on his rants,
- 31:10Speaker 3: you know this weekend. I'm not at that spot because
- 31:14Speaker 3: there's a lot of great players, like look at Tony Jefferson.
- 31:16Speaker 3: Tony Jefferson you know, he put it out on the
- 31:18Speaker 3: bird app that you know he he got a second
- 31:20Speaker 3: round grade and went undrafted. There are some times that
- 31:25Speaker 3: that just happens. Somebody slides, They have you slotted as
- 31:28Speaker 3: a second or third round pick, nobody else does. I mean,
- 31:32Speaker 3: all it does is take one person and and you
- 31:34Speaker 3: know what, winning will help some of that too, Jay,
- 31:36Speaker 3: because you know, you go out and you win the games,
- 31:38Speaker 3: you're going to get drafted and you know you're going
- 31:40Speaker 3: to be tied to that success. And there's probably a
- 31:42Speaker 3: lot of players for teams that's had you know, good
- 31:45Speaker 3: records this past year that got drafted because they were
- 31:48Speaker 3: associated with the winning. And it's it's hard, but the
- 31:51Speaker 3: NFL is going to look at those numbers and look
- 31:53Speaker 3: at the production and look at everything, and they're going
- 31:56Speaker 3: to take the people that they think have the best
- 31:58Speaker 3: chance of you know, make and their franchise is better.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Yeah. I need to go do a search on this.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I plan on doing that. Actually, just run the numbers
- 32:08Speaker 1: myself to see how many of those seventy nine, which
- 32:11Speaker 1: is a record that the SEC had in which they
- 32:14Speaker 1: broke their own record which was last year at sixty
- 32:16Speaker 1: five players being drafted how many of those players started
- 32:21Speaker 1: at an SEC school and how many of them actually
- 32:24Speaker 1: got transferred in so how many transferred from other programs
- 32:28Speaker 1: in which we know transfer por error. A lot of
- 32:30Speaker 1: people say, of course you're gonna have the most players
- 32:32Speaker 1: drafted if you've got players transferring, the top players transferring
- 32:35Speaker 1: to your schools. Well, the question I asked you as
- 32:37Speaker 1: a rebuttal is is why they transfer into the best
- 32:39Speaker 1: schools while they transfer to the SEC. Is it do
- 32:42Speaker 1: they feel like it's they got a better chance of
- 32:44Speaker 1: getting drafted by going to the SEC. Or is it
- 32:46Speaker 1: because you know they got a better chance of getting
- 32:49Speaker 1: drafted by playing in the SEC. That's usually what it is.
- 32:52Speaker 1: Teams are looking at SEC schools, they're looking at SEC players.
- 32:55Speaker 1: They want SEC guys, they want SEC bodies. They want
- 32:58Speaker 1: guys that are that compete at the highest level because
- 33:02Speaker 1: that seems to translate more at the highest level. Now,
- 33:06Speaker 1: granted you have anomalies, there is a long list of
- 33:14Speaker 1: what's this eight to ten guys in the time, say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
- 33:25Speaker 1: There's nine guys in the top one hundred from f
- 33:28Speaker 1: from G five SCS, FCS. They got drafted in the
- 33:32Speaker 1: in the first one hundred picks. They had nine players
- 33:35Speaker 1: in the first one hundred, with number one hundred being
- 33:37Speaker 1: up in Stop up in Stout from Western Kentucky. A
- 33:41Speaker 1: lot of those players end up at SEC schools when
- 33:46Speaker 1: they get drafted. That's the one thing I had to
- 33:48Speaker 1: remind y'all, Foklahoma's going after certain players, Naggy and especially
- 33:56Speaker 1: with Naggie there now he's looking for those dudes. It's
- 33:58Speaker 1: gonna get themselves drafted. They had a record number over
- 34:01Speaker 1: one hundred kids that participate in the Senior Boaty got drafted. Remember,
- 34:05Speaker 1: they go after players from all walks to pull in
- 34:13Speaker 1: players that have a chance to show out for the
- 34:17Speaker 1: NFL scouts and get drafted. That's gonna be a common
- 34:20Speaker 1: thing for us. We're gonna find diamonds in the rough
- 34:23Speaker 1: and we're gonna pay some of the top players at
- 34:24Speaker 1: particular positions that we need. But do not get it
- 34:28Speaker 1: twisted says. This is why open with this. They're gonna
- 34:32Speaker 1: break some eggs to make some of these omelets say
- 34:37Speaker 1: is what it is. It's gotta happen, and it's gonna
- 34:39Speaker 1: be uncomfortable conversations and there's gonna be some griminess to it.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Not it's gonna be ruthless, and I don't like that,
- 34:48Speaker 1: especially players that I appreciate.
- 34:51Speaker 3: I mean, yes, and it's tough because I mean, you
- 34:57Speaker 3: if you're a player and you are on able to
- 35:00Speaker 3: make it on the field because something's kind of out
- 35:03Speaker 3: of your control, maybe it's an injury. Uh you know,
- 35:06Speaker 3: maybe you somebody's goofing off and you know, does something
- 35:09Speaker 3: incorrect rolls up into you and you have to pay
- 35:12Speaker 3: the pay the price with the injury. You know, that's
- 35:15Speaker 3: that's that's that's a tough that's a tough deal. And
- 35:19Speaker 3: I think that you know, when you look at the NFL,
- 35:22Speaker 3: we we see it all the time. You know, people
- 35:25Speaker 3: get drafted, get picked up in free agency and it
- 35:28Speaker 3: just doesn't you know, it doesn't turn out the way
- 35:31Speaker 3: it's supposed to. We've all seen the guy, you know,
- 35:34Speaker 3: go have a really really phenomenal one year and then
- 35:38Speaker 3: you know, parlay that into you know, a big contract
- 35:41Speaker 3: and never live up to those numbers. I mean, those
- 35:43Speaker 3: were These are the things that NFL executives are trying
- 35:46Speaker 3: to navigate through. And now the college football world, these uh,
- 35:50Speaker 3: you know, college football executives, they're trying to navigate through
- 35:53Speaker 3: because you know, do you think that, I mean, does
- 35:56Speaker 3: a wide receiver have eight hundred, nine hundred yards receiving
- 36:00Speaker 3: because his team was down fifty points all the time
- 36:02Speaker 3: and they had to throw the ball sixty seventy times
- 36:05Speaker 3: a game. You know, does you know, do do the
- 36:07Speaker 3: numbers always add up to production? Because you know, listen
- 36:11Speaker 3: as a baseball fan, you know, one of my least
- 36:15Speaker 3: favorite players of all time was a guy who was
- 36:18Speaker 3: just a garbage time producer.
- 36:20Speaker 2: The guy could never get a hit.
- 36:22Speaker 3: If it was, you know, tie game in the ninth inning,
- 36:25Speaker 3: he comes up, you know, just needing you know, a
- 36:28Speaker 3: base hit or something like that. You know, he would
- 36:30Speaker 3: always get the hits when we're up five to nothing,
- 36:34Speaker 3: or get the hits when you know you're down thirteen nothing.
- 36:36Speaker 3: You know, it'd be something like that. So I just
- 36:38Speaker 3: think that that's the that's the aspect of it is
- 36:41Speaker 3: not all stats and not all situations are created equal.
- 36:44Speaker 3: There's a lot of there's a lot of gray area,
- 36:47Speaker 3: and it's just a tough It's just a tough, tough.
- 36:49Speaker 2: Tough thing.
- 36:50Speaker 3: And it's it's why I'm not in that profession because
- 36:53Speaker 3: you know, I don't want to. I don't want to
- 36:55Speaker 3: be the person who has to go talk to, you know,
- 36:58Speaker 3: a kid that everybody loves and just got kind of
- 37:00Speaker 3: delta tough hand and say, hey, we may need to
- 37:03Speaker 3: cut your cut your earnings here, a few bucks here
- 37:06Speaker 3: to make room for more people on the team. That's
- 37:09Speaker 3: that's a tough conversation to have. And it's so crazy
- 37:12Speaker 3: to me because six years ago you didn't have a paycheck.
- 37:16Speaker 3: You know, that wasn't something that we could have a
- 37:18Speaker 3: common an open conversation about.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Yep.
- 37:20Speaker 3: And so you had to kind of keep those things
- 37:22Speaker 3: in perspective too, because I mean, I'll just say, if
- 37:25Speaker 3: you know, if you're getting twenty five grand at school
- 37:28Speaker 3: to come and play football and you've never seen the field,
- 37:31Speaker 3: I mean, that's still that's still a mighty blessing. But
- 37:35Speaker 3: at the same time, I mean, you have some you know,
- 37:37Speaker 3: pride instilled you as an individual. And when someone comes
- 37:41Speaker 3: and says, hey, we need that conversation we had where
- 37:43Speaker 3: we're giving you X amount of dollars, we need to
- 37:45Speaker 3: cut that a little bit, that's a tough conversation to
- 37:48Speaker 3: it to deliver or to receive.
- 37:50Speaker 1: It's very much a tough conversation. Glad. I don't have
- 37:52Speaker 1: to do it, you know, but if the opportunity was
- 37:54Speaker 1: handed to me, how glad we give those conversations out.
- 37:56Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'm a nice guy. I'll tell you
- 37:57Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we're gonna have kidding. I don't like. I
- 38:00Speaker 1: wouldn't like doing that either as well. But my boy
- 38:03Speaker 1: Lemon shout out to you. This is a good point.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Got to talk about cam Ward who played for ben
- 38:08Speaker 1: Arbuckle at Washington State when they both you know, when
- 38:12Speaker 1: he then cam Ward transferred to Miami to take the
- 38:14Speaker 1: big bag for one more year and he went drafted
- 38:17Speaker 1: number one unranked at Carnate Word, and Washington State liked him,
- 38:24Speaker 1: brought him in. He played a year, then ben Arbuckle
- 38:26Speaker 1: got his hands on him, numbers improved, looked good, bounced out.
- 38:30Speaker 1: But ben Arbuckle had John Materier there instead. Three star
- 38:33Speaker 1: prospect lit up college football well enough to where you
- 38:37Speaker 1: know both of them here are now in Oklahoma. So
- 38:40Speaker 1: keep that in mind. The one thing you got to
- 38:42Speaker 1: pay attention to and be and and really be critical
- 38:46Speaker 1: around is no matter how good the surrounding product is
- 38:51Speaker 1: around you, I to see some of you guys talking
- 38:53Speaker 1: about Georgia and talking about Clemson in Texas and not
- 38:56Speaker 1: having all these draft picks. Ohio State won national championship
- 38:59Speaker 1: in most their team got drafted. That's what you need
- 39:02Speaker 1: to get to if you need to either get to
- 39:05Speaker 1: that or similar to Notre Dame, where you have a
- 39:07Speaker 1: good amount of players drafted, but you have the talent
- 39:11Speaker 1: around you that gets you past all these other teams.
- 39:16Speaker 1: That's what's most important now. I mean there are moments
- 39:19Speaker 1: where teams can go in and do a lot and
- 39:21Speaker 1: get to a national championship without having the entire team drafted.
- 39:26Speaker 1: To rarity, because Michigan did the same. But that's what
- 39:30Speaker 1: you want to get to. You want to get to
- 39:31Speaker 1: that point. Cam Ward being an arbuckle prodigy is huge,
- 39:38Speaker 1: all right. They got pull it up, hit the light button.
- 39:40Speaker 1: New to the channel, subscribe rate review, give us five.
- 39:42Speaker 1: We need to go ahead and give a shout out
- 39:44Speaker 1: to the women's softball swept Texas. Tough one in this one,
- 39:50Speaker 1: but they ended up winning it out nine to eight.
- 39:52Speaker 1: It was eight zero when I last looked at it.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Went to the store to get some stuff to prepare,
- 39:59Speaker 1: get some stuff for dinner and then get get myself
- 40:01Speaker 1: prepped for the show, and I look back up and
- 40:02Speaker 1: it's like, wait, eight eight, what are we doing here?
- 40:05Speaker 1: So it sound like Patty made some some decisions that
- 40:09Speaker 1: kind of bitter. You know what happens. You know, coaches
- 40:12Speaker 1: probably test you's testing out a young arm. You're up eight.
- 40:14Speaker 1: Oh you could do that at that point, that just
- 40:17Speaker 1: did not work well. But at the same time, look
- 40:19Speaker 1: at that w it is and Nina's auto matters.
- 40:24Speaker 3: Hey, guys, I will say this is it is. As
- 40:28Speaker 3: a former pitcher, you're cruising. All you want to do
- 40:33Speaker 3: is just finish out the game and just keep it,
- 40:36Speaker 3: keep it going. You get you get a person off
- 40:38Speaker 3: of there, you know, you get slated into a rhythm
- 40:43Speaker 3: and I see you see I see it all the
- 40:46Speaker 3: time and watching you know, major League Baseball.
- 40:48Speaker 2: It's where you got a guy and.
- 40:49Speaker 3: You pull him, you put somebody else in, and everybody
- 40:52Speaker 3: feels like the game is pretty much wrapped up. And
- 40:56Speaker 3: it takes, I mean, it takes some guts to do
- 40:58Speaker 3: what those girls did. Go up eight and I thing
- 41:00Speaker 3: feel like it's cruising and then be faced with all
- 41:03Speaker 3: of that pressure and just turned back around and close
- 41:06Speaker 3: it out.
- 41:06Speaker 2: So man, I tell you what the gosh, I forget
- 41:11Speaker 2: the girls.
- 41:11Speaker 3: Maybe it was Atwood or Stewart, maybe a Stuart, but
- 41:15Speaker 3: she hit two hundred and seventy five foot foul ball
- 41:21Speaker 3: with a runner on, you know, which would have been
- 41:23Speaker 3: the go ahead run. And at that point I thought, man,
- 41:26Speaker 3: this we might we might have to bat this inning.
- 41:30Speaker 3: But it's hey, listen, you go in, you get to sweep.
- 41:34Speaker 3: That is what I mean. There's nothing. You can't do
- 41:37Speaker 3: anything better because nobody cares if you were up eight
- 41:40Speaker 3: to nothing. It's a W and a W is a
- 41:44Speaker 3: W whatever adage you want to use. But this team
- 41:48Speaker 3: is growing, and I really like this because I feel
- 41:52Speaker 3: like a couple of these games they brought the fight,
- 41:55Speaker 3: they brought the effort, they brought everything.
- 41:58Speaker 2: And man, you just see this new.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Crop of players come in and uh, you know, just
- 42:03Speaker 3: make clutch hit, you know, clutch at bats, the way
- 42:07Speaker 3: that they're working to count. Man, I don't want to
- 42:09Speaker 3: get too baseball nerdy in this, but anytime that you
- 42:13Speaker 3: can bring in Mike White, you know I I I don't.
- 42:17Speaker 2: I don't hate Steve Sarksian, I don't hate Nick Saban.
- 42:21Speaker 2: Mike White. I don't like I just do not like
- 42:23Speaker 2: that guy.
- 42:24Speaker 3: And so if you can play Texas and put it
- 42:27Speaker 3: an L to his name, that's a good day. So, uh,
- 42:30Speaker 3: you know, congratulates to these girls. They're going to get
- 42:32Speaker 3: some votes for you know, number one coming into this week,
- 42:34Speaker 3: and they got to keep their heads down and keep
- 42:36Speaker 3: going because, uh, you know, they got to relearn how
- 42:39Speaker 3: to win because this group is a is a completely
- 42:41Speaker 3: new group. And it was also good to see that
- 42:44Speaker 3: you had a number, you had another pitcher outside of
- 42:46Speaker 3: Sam come in and actually do some good work early
- 42:49Speaker 3: in the game.
- 42:52Speaker 1: Yeah, the girls would uh, like I said, I turn
- 42:54Speaker 1: around and look, I'm like what wait, wait, wait a minute,
- 42:56Speaker 1: what is what is going on here? I was not
- 43:01Speaker 1: prepared for this, but you know, it is what it is.
- 43:06Speaker 1: I saw.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Huh. I got a question for you, do you.
- 43:13Speaker 3: Just for you personally, would you rather win my nice
- 43:16Speaker 3: eight to nothing or would you rather let them come
- 43:19Speaker 3: back and have it all for not? You know, because
- 43:22Speaker 3: I think the mental warfare on this game is is
- 43:24Speaker 3: even tougher for Texas because they started believing and then
- 43:28Speaker 3: it kind of turned out to nothing.
- 43:30Speaker 2: So we'll see what Texas does.
- 43:31Speaker 3: You know, they've they've got another tough series. Every single
- 43:33Speaker 3: weekend is a tough series in this conference. And you
- 43:37Speaker 3: know what is it?
- 43:38Speaker 1: Man?
- 43:38Speaker 3: Is it like eight or nine girls girls teams that
- 43:41Speaker 3: are ranked in the top twenty five. I mean, they're
- 43:44Speaker 3: this is this is a tough conference this year.
- 43:46Speaker 1: It is it actually really is. I would rather have
- 43:52Speaker 1: that hmmm, a picture atos you want the stats at
- 44:02Speaker 1: oh will be a lot better. But at the same time,
- 44:06Speaker 1: the adversity is gonna help them heading into the playoffs,
- 44:09Speaker 1: So I'll give them that. So yeah, yeah, well yeah,
- 44:16Speaker 1: it's that's what that's what that's what I'll go with.
- 44:19Speaker 3: I mean, I would prefer a fourteen nothing if I'm
- 44:22Speaker 3: just I mean, just being honest with you. But if
- 44:24Speaker 3: there's gonna be some adversity, I'm glad that these girls
- 44:26Speaker 3: were able to pull it out and you know, kind
- 44:28Speaker 3: of get back to it and get some clutch hits.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're you're right. I'm just glad that they
- 44:37Speaker 1: close it out. But I want to kind of address
- 44:39Speaker 1: one statement that was made in here by our favorite
- 44:41Speaker 1: Sooner cowboy, the one that thinks the team is going
- 44:43Speaker 1: to fall apart uh all the time. But I don't,
- 44:48Speaker 1: I don't, I I sooner, cowboy. I don't think you
- 44:50Speaker 1: actually went and looked at the recruiting sites. I think
- 44:53Speaker 1: you should go look at them, because a lot of
- 44:57Speaker 1: Texas talent, especially top town is still even the state, a.
- 45:01Speaker 2: Lot of it every year. Every year.
- 45:05Speaker 1: The thing is, there's a ton of Texas kids and
- 45:07Speaker 1: a lot of them get miss ranked, but a lot
- 45:11Speaker 1: of the top players leave a lot of them. I mean, heck,
- 45:15Speaker 1: we got the top offensive lineman last year. Just saying
- 45:19Speaker 1: it happens very often. It's just there's a ton of
- 45:23Speaker 1: kids there. Same thing with California, say a thing with Florida.
- 45:26Speaker 1: There's a ton of them.
- 45:28Speaker 3: I mean, listen, the rankings are it's not gospel. The
- 45:32Speaker 3: rankings are a measuring tool, right, and you've got so
- 45:37Speaker 3: many teams across the country. I mean, I'll even just
- 45:40Speaker 3: go let's just go, oh you, let's go to the year.
- 45:42Speaker 3: It's where we had Spencer Rattler, Jaden Hazelwood, the Oees,
- 45:46Speaker 3: Trajan Bridges, and I don't even have to say much
- 45:49Speaker 3: more than that, Like, just because you're ranked a five
- 45:52Speaker 3: star doesn't mean that you were going to end up
- 45:54Speaker 3: ranked a five star when it comes time to NFL
- 45:56Speaker 3: Draft time, there's you know, there's a lot of a
- 45:59Speaker 3: lot of guys out there there. I've seen so many
- 46:01Speaker 3: different people taking shots at their former five star now
- 46:04Speaker 3: fifth rounder type of conversations, you know, across Twitter, and
- 46:09Speaker 3: I just don't. I mean, you look at you look
- 46:12Speaker 3: at Texas. You know, Kelvin Banks, that's you know, that's
- 46:15Speaker 3: somebody that they grew and they developed. But you look
- 46:19Speaker 3: at Golden and you look at you know, Quinn Ewers,
- 46:22Speaker 3: even though that he was drafted all the way in
- 46:24Speaker 3: the seventh round, which I you know, I do want
- 46:25Speaker 3: to kind of talk about that a little bit too,
- 46:27Speaker 3: But you know, those guys were coming from you know,
- 46:30Speaker 3: Quinn Quinn was the new era of n I L.
- 46:34Speaker 3: You got to remember that dude reclassified, got big bank
- 46:37Speaker 3: from Ohio State and was the next big thing, Like
- 46:41Speaker 3: before Arch Manning was here.
- 46:43Speaker 2: He was the next big guy.
- 46:44Speaker 3: And every year we saw, you know, potential first round
- 46:48Speaker 3: mock draft before the college football season start, and quin
- 46:51Speaker 3: Ewers is there in the first round. I saved it
- 46:54Speaker 3: for a couple of years in my email box just
- 46:56Speaker 3: to call someone out. And I think that Texas fans
- 46:58Speaker 3: have pretty much you know, kind of it is what
- 47:01Speaker 3: it is at this point. Yeah, but I will say
- 47:05Speaker 3: the rankings are they are not the way. They are
- 47:09Speaker 3: a way, and it's still the you know, it's still
- 47:13Speaker 3: the responsibility of the coaches to make sure that they're
- 47:16Speaker 3: a culture fit, make sure that that hard work is there,
- 47:19Speaker 3: make sure that the desire to get better.
- 47:21Speaker 2: You look at cam Ward. I mean, how many videos.
- 47:24Speaker 3: I'm not the only one who watched videos of cam
- 47:26Speaker 3: Ward walking around, you know, talking to Shador Sanders and
- 47:30Speaker 3: he says, you know, says something to him, and cam
- 47:32Speaker 3: Ward just as adamant. I'm a football player. I'm a
- 47:34Speaker 3: football player. Say hey, let's do a rap video together. No,
- 47:37Speaker 3: I'm a football player. I want to be known as
- 47:38Speaker 3: a football player. Like that attitude is why cam Ward
- 47:41Speaker 3: went as number one. And I promise you, if the
- 47:45Speaker 3: guy doesn't end up in the Hall of Fame, people
- 47:47Speaker 3: are still going to be really, really excited about cam
- 47:49Speaker 3: Ward because he's going to be a guy who just
- 47:51Speaker 3: wants He reminds me of Jalen hurts Is.
- 47:53Speaker 2: I just want to I'm here for football. That's what
- 47:55Speaker 2: I'm here for.
- 47:56Speaker 3: Like I don't want any of this other nonsense, Like
- 47:58Speaker 3: I'm here to play football and that's a quarterback that I,
- 48:01Speaker 3: you know, would want on my team. But dude was
- 48:03Speaker 3: a zero star, and though not all zero stars end
- 48:06Speaker 3: up number one picks, it's it's it's much more reliable
- 48:10Speaker 3: than some of the five stars because you can go
- 48:13Speaker 3: back and look and every single year there's three or
- 48:15Speaker 3: four of those guys who are can't miss prospects. What
- 48:18Speaker 3: does catch call it a super duper five star, super
- 48:20Speaker 3: plus blue chip and doesn't turn out to be.
- 48:23Speaker 1: I don't quote that guy, so I have no clue
- 48:24Speaker 1: what he says, so unfortunately I would not know what
- 48:27Speaker 1: you're talking about. But yeah, it is the thing to
- 48:29Speaker 1: point out is that since twenty twenty, Texas hasn't gotten
- 48:35Speaker 1: the top player in their state. But this is what
- 48:38Speaker 1: Texas has done right, and I have to unfortunately give
- 48:40Speaker 1: them props. They do a really good job of evaluating
- 48:46Speaker 1: and that's that's the bottom players as they're working their
- 48:49Speaker 1: way up, So they're finding a lot of diamonds in
- 48:51Speaker 1: the rough while also getting studs that stick out. They're
- 48:55Speaker 1: doing a lot of everything, and that to me, we
- 49:00Speaker 1: to do better at is we found some diamonds in
- 49:03Speaker 1: the rough We've done I mean Danny's Tutchman honestly is
- 49:05Speaker 1: kind of one and that shout out to the old
- 49:07Speaker 1: regime for finding him. Billy was one of your top players.
- 49:10Speaker 1: He was a you know, top player in Texas and
- 49:13Speaker 1: he ended up getting himself drafted, and that's kind of
- 49:18Speaker 1: is Ah, You're right, Benji four two four seven. Colin
- 49:21Speaker 1: Simmons was the top player in the state. Wait wait,
- 49:23Speaker 1: was he the top player in the state that year?
- 49:25Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if he was a
- 49:26Speaker 1: top player that year. I think that was Keilan Russell.
- 49:29Speaker 1: I think Keilan Russell was the top player that year. Actually,
- 49:34Speaker 1: now Keilan Russell was the next year. Let me let
- 49:38Speaker 1: me verify real quick. But Texas picked up a lot
- 49:43Speaker 1: of this is twenty twenty four class. I think it
- 49:47Speaker 1: was more.
- 49:47Speaker 2: It may have been more.
- 49:51Speaker 1: No, it wasn't. It was DJ Lagway. He was number
- 49:53Speaker 1: one in the state. My bad. I was right. Lagway
- 49:57Speaker 1: was number one out of Willis Texas. He went to Florida.
- 50:00Speaker 1: Colin was the fifth in state, behind Micah Hudson, Terry Bussey,
- 50:05Speaker 1: God Terry Bussey, which would have had Terry Bussey justin Williams
- 50:09Speaker 1: who ended up at Georgia, and then DJ Lagway was
- 50:12Speaker 1: number one. So yeah, twenty four in the twenty four class,
- 50:18Speaker 1: Colin Simmons was the fifth best, and then right behind
- 50:21Speaker 1: him was Taylor Tatum, which was number six ended up
- 50:23Speaker 1: in Oklahoma. That that is what it is. So I
- 50:27Speaker 1: was right, I was saying saying, I know Colin Simms
- 50:29Speaker 1: was best in his position. Yes, number he was definitely
- 50:32Speaker 1: the number one edge. I think he's not one edge
- 50:35Speaker 1: in the country just in general. Actually he was rated
- 50:38Speaker 1: fourth in his position by two four seven. But whatever,
- 50:41Speaker 1: Colin Simms is good the core more. Yeah, point being,
- 50:46Speaker 1: there's so many players that come out of state that Texas,
- 50:49Speaker 1: that Texas is able to find a lot of diamonds
- 50:51Speaker 1: in the rough, and Oklahoma searching for that too. Like
- 50:54Speaker 1: Geometerier is one of those right now, right putting up
- 50:58Speaker 1: thirty you know, thirty nine hund yards with eight hundred
- 51:02Speaker 1: on the ground and over three thousand passing as three started,
- 51:07Speaker 1: nobody really recruited. It's diminand and the rough. You gotta
- 51:10Speaker 1: find stuff like that, and fans ain't gonna be excited
- 51:12Speaker 1: about that. Fans are excited that John Materier was one
- 51:14Speaker 1: of the top quarterback in the portal. Speaking of portal.

- 51:54Speaker 1: I'm talking about pick ups with a cook here. Yeah,
- 51:57Speaker 1: we lost a couple of them, especially after we picked
- 52:00Speaker 1: up Jade and Ott, which was a huge pickup for us.
- 52:04Speaker 1: But then of course we talked about Jim Naggy's gonna
- 52:06Speaker 1: be doing evaluations and unfortunate cuts and a player just
- 52:10Speaker 1: entered the portal that of course hurt all of our feelings.
- 52:15Speaker 1: It definitely hurt my feelings completely personally. And that's our boy.

- 52:27Speaker 1: the little note Sooner Nation, thanks for everything you've done

- 52:31Speaker 1: my life. Blah blah blah blah blah. He's out. How
- 52:35Speaker 1: do you feel about Gamasalchuk hitting the deuces?
- 52:41Speaker 3: Listen, if you look at what I saw the graphic
- 52:45Speaker 3: that had Cleveland, who's who's got a better quarterback room?
- 52:48Speaker 3: And they had a couple of NFL deals and it
- 52:50Speaker 3: was like six different guys.
- 52:53Speaker 2: Does that matter you can play one quarterback?
- 52:56Speaker 3: Well, same thing with running back is when jayde and
- 52:58Speaker 3: not comes in, we say all x rob really kind
- 53:01Speaker 3: of take off at the.
- 53:02Speaker 2: End of the year.
- 53:03Speaker 3: Last year you have Taylor Tatum. There was some stuff
- 53:05Speaker 3: you know around him too. But you've got a lot
- 53:08Speaker 3: of running backs in that room right now. Not to
- 53:10Speaker 3: mention you know, the incoming blaylock you've got you don't,
- 53:17Speaker 3: I mean, you got roster limitations and as no you fan,
- 53:22Speaker 3: this may be a tough thing to swallow and saying, man,
- 53:26Speaker 3: we've we've seen ourselves down to the last quarterback, We've
- 53:29Speaker 3: seen ourselves down to the last running back. We've seen
- 53:32Speaker 3: ourselves beyond the last receiver. All in the past five
- 53:35Speaker 3: years and that gets frustrating. And so Sawchuck is a
- 53:41Speaker 3: guy that we saw the glimpses and we saw lackluster games, and.
- 53:47Speaker 2: It's just tough. It's just tough just because Sawchuck just
- 53:50Speaker 2: seemed like.
- 53:50Speaker 3: A guy who was really, really quiet. You know, when
- 53:53Speaker 3: he when he was healthy, he showed it. You know,
- 53:56Speaker 3: we'll all remember the Florida State game. We'll all remember
- 53:59Speaker 3: the last couple of games of the season where he
- 54:01Speaker 3: was just racking up hundred yards after hundred yards after
- 54:04Speaker 3: hundred yards. And so, no, I don't like watching anybody
- 54:07Speaker 3: leave the team. This is this is not this is
- 54:10Speaker 3: not fun. This is a guy who came out and
- 54:13Speaker 3: you know, was hanging out with the Crimson combine. But
- 54:15Speaker 3: it just becomes a numbers game. And unfortunately, you know,
- 54:19Speaker 3: he's a casualty of the numbers game. Yeah, I think
- 54:22Speaker 3: that's again when you look at the guys on on
- 54:25Speaker 3: the roster, at the running back spot, you want to
- 54:28Speaker 3: be able to have some.
- 54:29Speaker 2: Really good, tough runners.
- 54:31Speaker 3: And I you know, I wish Sawchuck the best of luck.
- 54:35Speaker 2: I hope the best of health.
- 54:37Speaker 3: You know, I got to think that he probably heads
- 54:39Speaker 3: back home in the Colorado area, maybe to Colorado.
- 54:43Speaker 1: Bust will be a colport place for him to go.
- 54:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and so wherever he does end up, you know,
- 54:49Speaker 3: I wish him the best. And this is you know,
- 54:52Speaker 3: this is kind of like it's becoming more and more
- 54:54Speaker 3: to the NFL.
- 54:55Speaker 2: You know, it's where you fall in love with players
- 54:57Speaker 2: and you.
- 54:58Speaker 3: Know that there's a chance they only will be there
- 55:00Speaker 3: three or four years and they're going to get traded
- 55:02Speaker 3: or pick up a new contract, bounce off. This is
- 55:04Speaker 3: just one where you know, when he leaves, I think
- 55:06Speaker 3: that every single sooner is going to wish him the best.
- 55:10Speaker 1: Yeah. He was one that you know, we thoroughly enjoyed
- 55:13Speaker 1: around here as a back and just as a person.
- 55:19Speaker 1: You know, he did some big stuff charity wise around
- 55:24Speaker 1: and so we you know, you want to thank him
- 55:26Speaker 1: for being here.
- 55:28Speaker 2: He was good.
- 55:28Speaker 1: He's just healthy. Health was was always the issue. Unfortunately
- 55:33Speaker 1: he freshman year, he didn't play much, but he showed
- 55:36Speaker 1: out for the State. He dealt with injury problems in
- 55:38Speaker 1: twenty three, but then came back healthy enough to give
- 55:40Speaker 1: us five straight games with one hundred yard Russi, which
- 55:43Speaker 1: is what you were looking for. Then from there, this
- 55:46Speaker 1: past season. He was not healthy. That's where you were
- 55:49Speaker 1: dealing with a lot. He just couldn't get healthy at all,
- 55:51Speaker 1: and so it is unfortunate. I liked what we got
- 55:57Speaker 1: out of South Chuck, and I was hoping we'd get
- 55:59Speaker 1: a lot more. But now you've got Jay Not, You've
- 56:01Speaker 1: got Xavier Robinson. You got a lot going for you
- 56:07Speaker 1: on that next Co Gonzalez bounces out, He's headed to
- 56:15Speaker 1: pitt He's gonna go follow his He went to his
- 56:19Speaker 1: was all things ODC, Kate Bell, They reunite some of
- 56:22Speaker 1: his teammates. He to me, maybe a little bit bigger
- 56:28Speaker 1: of a loss than we than we think, just because
- 56:30Speaker 1: now it drops you to only three quarterbacks. Kind of
- 56:33Speaker 1: hope you got one more in the chamber to potentially
- 56:36Speaker 1: bring in, wasn't I kind of I kind of expected,
- 56:42Speaker 1: as I kind of had a feeling Michael Hawks was
- 56:43Speaker 1: gonna win job number two. I don't want to lose
- 56:46Speaker 1: Michael Hawkins red shirt. So knock on wood, everybody stays healthy.
- 56:50Speaker 1: But yeah, we lost our boy, Co Gonzales.
- 56:55Speaker 3: After a semester, I would like to see Cole go
- 57:00Speaker 3: and you know, just do great things. I really do
- 57:05Speaker 3: a lot of Suoner fans don't even know the guy's name,
- 57:07Speaker 3: don't know who he was. But you know, I feel
- 57:10Speaker 3: that Cole was bigger loss than uh than Sawchuk and
- 57:15Speaker 3: that should tell you something. So but again you said
- 57:19Speaker 3: it at the beginning, the portal giveth and the portal taketh.
- 57:23Speaker 3: So it is a numbers game. And unfortunately, you know,
- 57:27Speaker 3: that was a decision that staff thought that it's it's
- 57:30Speaker 3: it was something that they needed to do. And you know,
- 57:34Speaker 3: Cole is good enough to to go compete somewhere and
- 57:38Speaker 3: you're seeing more and more to where guys don't want
- 57:40Speaker 3: to sit around because there is a market for quarterbacks
- 57:44Speaker 3: and after you know, after watching the Nico saga here
- 57:48Speaker 3: this past couple of weeks, there's a lot of quarterbacks
- 57:52Speaker 3: that were are still, you know, trying to find a
- 57:54Speaker 3: spot to go and lead a team. And wherever you
- 57:57Speaker 3: need to go to do that, go do it, because
- 58:00Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think col Gon Solas was going
- 58:02Speaker 3: to see any extended playing time this year. But it's
- 58:07Speaker 3: a it's it's just a it's just a tough deal
- 58:10Speaker 3: because again, you don't want to find yourself in the
- 58:12Speaker 3: spot to where you have Jaron Kannick taking snaps at
- 58:16Speaker 3: quarterback in the Wildcat That's the last thing that any
- 58:20Speaker 3: of us want to see.
- 58:21Speaker 1: Oh god, I don't even want to think about the
- 58:23Speaker 1: idea of that dude potentially taking snaps.
- 58:28Speaker 2: At least compared to Braden Willis.
- 58:29Speaker 3: At least Kanick did play some quarterbacks, So so that
- 58:32Speaker 3: would be fair. You know, you don't want to see
- 58:35Speaker 3: that against you know, a a conference opponent in your rival.
- 58:39Speaker 3: So but uh, gotta gotta hope that he goes out
- 58:44Speaker 3: and does some great They still have a hit. They
- 58:47Speaker 3: stuff Holsting, right, Eli Holstein or did he get hit
- 58:50Speaker 3: the draft? I can't remember.
- 58:53Speaker 1: I think Hosting is still there or anything about Eli? No, yeah, no,
- 58:58Speaker 1: Eli still because Eli's a starter.
- 59:00Speaker 3: Yeah, so Cole's gonna go and compete with you need
- 59:05Speaker 3: to be a backup.
- 59:07Speaker 1: Yeah, and Cole. I mean remember Eli was one of
- 59:09Speaker 1: the two top one hundred quarterbacks of Alabama recruited that
- 59:11Speaker 1: year and both of them are gone. Him and Dylan Langering.
- 59:17Speaker 1: Yeah he's gone to Longering. Yeah he's gone as well.
- 59:24Speaker 1: So yeah, Dylan Longer.
- 59:27Speaker 2: Ye, it's not just us, Yeah.
- 59:29Speaker 1: It is is a very common Hell, Alabama lost three
- 59:32Speaker 1: quarterbacks as soon as Nick Saban bounced on him, but
- 59:35Speaker 1: we did land us a win. Tate Sandelle kicker Lefty
- 59:42Speaker 1: And I point this out because I love what Teddy
- 59:46Speaker 1: said on their show about this, which is also really good.
- 59:52Speaker 1: He missed only one kick under fifty yards and he's.
- 59:56Speaker 2: Like, what sixteen, sixteen seventeen something like that.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Yeah, he did very well under fifty yards. And what
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: Teddy pointed out was that if you say his nineteen
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: for twenty three from field goal attempts missed one field
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: goal under I'm trusting if I can find the exact
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: number that he that he missed.
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: Ah.
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: Yeah, he made a four for four from twenty to
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: twenty nine, six for six thirty thirty nine, seven for
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: eight from forty to forty nine, and two for five
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: from fifty plus. This is what Teddy said. Taylaeman basically
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: said that when you look at the back half of
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: that schedule from Texas on a lot of dog fights,
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: good chance, you're gonna need to make some field goals.
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: You're gonna need to make some closer ones probably, and
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: that is where he comes into play. You're gonna need
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: to do That's gonna be able to hit some forty
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: yarders hit some thirty yarders consistently, and he was nineteen
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: for twenty three from field goals and he made a
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: fifty four yard That, my friends, is why you go
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: after a due like this. That's why you go after
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: a kicker that is proven. It's nothing against our young
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: pups at kicker, but you need somebody proven until you
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: you know, until the young pups are ready. But he
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: made that fifty four yarder for UTSA. It doesn't matter
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: what school you play for if you're kicking fifty four
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: yarders and making them on a you know, on the field,
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: because all the fields, you know, fcs up to the
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: P four and the P two basically are the same size.
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: You making those, that's a good thing.
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: Well, Jay, it's did Brent Vinnables learn from year one
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: with all the close losses?
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: Yep?
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: Did you you know even year two.
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: We usually have, yet we have done a massive disservice
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: to the fan base, just in the complete, I guess
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: dismissal of special teams. And if you know, you hear
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: Doug Deacon coming in, you thought special teams were going
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: to be something more, but I mean where they basically
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: and that zero, you know, that's an aspect of the
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: game that you can win in. You know, you look
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: across the NFL, you look at I mean what what
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: Frank Frank Beamer was known as the Special Teams Guru.
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: How many games in Virginia Tech win, you know during
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: the you know, the late nineties and early two thousands
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: with Frank Biemer, you know, running that special teams They
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: whether it was a punt return, whether it was a
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: kick return, whether it was a blocked field goal, whether
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: it was a field goal. You know, we just want
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: to be able to see. I think it'd be really
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: really you know, exciting to have excitement around a punt,
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: to have excitement when we return a kick, to have
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: excitement when you know the kicker runs out there and
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: have some confident uh confidence because you know, at this point,
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: I mean since unfortunately since the Burrito, when the kicker
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: trotted out there, every single one of us clinched up
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: pretty and.
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: Just was like, I don't know what's about to happen.
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: And you know, again there's gonna be some pressure when
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: you have a kicker going out there for a game
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: winning field goal or whatnot. But how confident in the
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: past couple of years, if we were lining up a
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: game winning field goal or field goal at the end
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: of the half that you you know, you felt like,
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: all right, there's three, let's just market market three.
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: It's it's been a while.
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: So I'm pretty excited about Tate and it seems like
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: he was somebody that the staff was really really excited about.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: Yeah, you need you need a good leg for those,
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: like we said, those moments where the game is on
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: the line and you gotta make it. Okaoma Dallason got
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: another pickup. Coop picked up a big man, Ricky loloheia
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: didn't get your thoughts on Olahea, but six three, three
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: hundred and three pounds was the last thing he showed
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: a Utah State no. Nate Drelling the was the former
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: DC there, so of course he knows. You pick yourself
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: up another boy for the middle.
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: That adds another three hundred plus pounder in the middle,
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: and that's what you're gonna that. Now, is Ricky going
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: to see meaningful snaps this year?
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: I don't.
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: I don't think so. Now that is up to him.
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: That is up to Ricky. Ricky go out there, get yourself.
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: But I don't think that the staff went after him,
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: you know, because it just was, Hey, Nate, we want
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: to go ahead and pick up one of you guys
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: from your old team, and you know, just do you
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: a solid it That obviously wasn't the reason it was.
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: It was a this is an asset that I think
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: that we could turn into something good. And you bring
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: in a three hundred plus pounder who has the eye
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: of one of your defensive coaches and you put him
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: under Todd Baits. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: At least he.
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: Has got the body weight in the size right now
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: you don't have to work on that. So now it's
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: strength because the strength program is going to be a
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: little bit different, you know here versus Utah State or
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: even Oklahoma State. And this is a guy that is
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: going to, uh, You're gonna be a little bit of
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: a project. But even in its raw form, I mean
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: it's a three hundred plus pounder in the middle and
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: you get that that that poly pipeline. Another another big
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: individual who is going to uh, you know, be in
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: here and bring the pageantry. And so I'm I'm I'm
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: excited about Ricky. That's one of this one of my
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: favorite ones, and I think he could turn out to
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: do some really really neat things.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: Yeah, we needed some additional bodies in the in the middle. Yeah,
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: I agree, he's the development guy. Probably if he gets
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: himself up to three twenty by season three point thirty
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: and he's still able to move well with the development
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: of a tie Bates, there's a chance you put him
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: out there on goal line, You put him out there
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: on places where you need a big body in the
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: way and use his strength and his sigh to be
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: in the WAYT six three, which is a nice size
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: for that. There's a lot of moments you need big
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: body guys just size. Yeah, sometimes you just need size.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: I mean, look at what Tampa Bay just recently did.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: So you have Videvea, who's probably one of the most
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: athletic three hundred and forty five pound dudes I've ever
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: seen in my life. You add him to the Florida
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: defensive tackle Watson that they just added four hundred and
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: sixty pounds. I don't know if the Eagles are gonna
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: run that a toush push on them now, Tampa stopped
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: them last year. I don't think you're gonna try to
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: push that that against those dudes again. You're gonna be
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: able to do that against fault folk. But eight hundred
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: pounds of man right in the middle, No, not so much.
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: That's where the value comes in. When're gonna get teams
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: like that. And remember in the SEC they do a
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: lot of running. Yeah, most teams do. Because the passing
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: game is a struggle. It's tough. Hopefully we're one of
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: the dynamic passing games that can cook these defenses. But
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: a lot of them don't have to play as much
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: passing defense because they have to. They throw the ball,
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: they run the ball a lot more down your throw.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: They just beat you with physicality. We did that against Bama.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: We just beat them with physicality. And I'm hoping Oklahoma
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: can transition into that. All right, thank got pulling up
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: hit the like button due to the channel subscribe rate review.
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: Give us five. Mad dek Man. This is funny, but
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: I think people putting too much stock into can Remember
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: he was destined to be Stustman's replacement. Remember this is
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: his first time ever playing linebacker. Yeah, I mean he
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: played his entire career in high school and he wanted
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: to transition to linebacker because he has the physical tools, speed,
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: the power, the willingness to hit. He's just not. He
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: just couldn't figure it out. Oh you revenge to I'm
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: assuming you're very behind. We did a whole segment about
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: that just Wyer.
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: And I think, you know, Cannick. My expectations for Canick
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: right now is around ten catches and one hundreds of
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: odd yards. If he does something more than that, then
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: you've squeezed and got more juice out of that than
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: than than I think a lot of us are expecting.
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: I don't think that Canick's uh expectations are really high
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: by too many people. I think that, you know, when
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: it comes to the blocking thing, I don't know if
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: that's really what they're going to put a lot on him.
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: I think that if he does see time, it's going
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: to be a situation where he's coming out to pass,
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: to pass catch, uh, you know, to go out for
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: a route. And I think that he has some juice there.
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: He was an offensive player. But no, I don't I
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: think that the Canick, you know, the Canic ascension, I
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: think that bandwagon has pretty much parked it. So I
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: don't think that there's very many, very many people who
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: have massive expectations for Canic.
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: This year.
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: Anything he can give you is is you know, just icing.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: M Yeah, that's gonna cake. So all right, any questions
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: which I got in here, thank you out for pulling up.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonnahead wrap this up with a bowl
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: on it. We are still targeting some players in the
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: transfer portal. Oklahoma is putting in work. We're going after
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: wide receiver. I know that it was a Jamichael Carter
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: has made a visit in what is it things in Nashville,
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: visit Tennessee. I think of it's Vanderbilt something like that,
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: and let me see if it shows us where. Yeah,
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: he's visiting Vanderbilt and Tennessee. So he's in Nashville visiting Vandy,
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: and then I think he's gonna make the drive to
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: Tennessee right afterwards, and we'll see where he decides to
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: make a choice. Six to four wire receivers another big
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: body that we would like to you know, of course,
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: get your hands on. But I want to preface this
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: conversation with this, and yes, we are looking at the
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: wide receiver from Hawaii as well. The biggest struggle you
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: run into with the wide receiver visiting is you can't
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: guarantee snaps can't guarantee catches, mainly because if Giovanni Gibson
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: and Jaden Gibson comes back with a nice bill of
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: health mid August and are ready to play two weeks afterwards,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: they're probably getting the snaps first talent wise. But we
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: are looking at the Hawaii wire receiver. He's smaller, he's
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: like five ten five eleven one point seventy, but he's
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: a really good return guy. Sorry ted Hurst is not available,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: us Zius Bilu, Sorry ted Hurst is not available. He
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: went back to Georgia State, the southern or Georgia State,
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: one of the two he went back. That was announced
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: I think yesterday, and he decided to stick where he
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: was gonna where he came from. Yeah, Georgia State. He is.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: He actually withdrew his name from the portal, And honestly,
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: if you wanna be honest behind that, it makes sense.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: Because he's so late in the game, it's a good
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: chance that he may not find a place where you
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: gonna get to start a job. Anybody hurt. That's truly
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: what it is. But yeah, the Washington state wide receiver
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: numbers ain't there. It's too small, too pray bigger.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: And the receiver.
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: The receiver market is extremely inflated, and it's there. You know,
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: a lot of these guys are not going to back down.
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: A lot of these guys are going in there to
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: see what they can get. You start seeing and hearing
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: some of these numbers fake, some of them real. Why
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: not dip your toe in there, and you know, see
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: see about getting picked up because it's going to happen.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: But you know, again, when you when.
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: You have a budget to stick to and and you
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: look at the numbers that Naggie is putting out there,
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: it's not I need somebody and I'm going to spend
- 1:12:51Speaker 3: whatever I can to get them. At this point, it
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: is if they find somebody worthwhile and it falls within
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: the budget that they have set, they're going to go
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: after it. But they're not gonna They're not gonna expand
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: the budget. They're gonna gonna go up and over the
- 1:13:03Speaker 3: top of the budget for somebody that you know, you're
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: you're not one hundred percent sure you know what's gonna
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: happen with the uh the translation from a lower division
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: you know, up to the SEC and that's just it
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: just is what it is. And you know, there's a
- 1:13:18Speaker 3: lot of these guys that are going out there and
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: they're getting overpaid, and they're gonna there's gonna be a
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: lot of those guys getting overpaid. They're gonna be right
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: back into the transfer portal next year too.
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: Yep.
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: So, uh, you know, if you want.
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: Naggie to if you want to praise Naggie out of
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: one side of the mouth and then yell at him
- 1:13:33Speaker 3: for not getting you know, one of these wide receivers.
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: A lot of these cats are asking for a lot
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: more money than I think. You know, many people are
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: wanting to put in it. And I don't think that
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: OU is in a spot to where it's desperate. I
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: think that uh, the the I guess, the hope and
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: the feeling of what you're gonna get with the Gibson's
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: Uh there, there's too much hope there to throw more
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: money and then just have a situation where you have
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: a guy that you just dropped four hundred thousand dollars
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: US on and is you know, maybe playing ten snaps
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: a game you know you can't have that.
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind getting an additional receiver that gives you
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: a good return guy return game.
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: I also wouldn't mind another receiver that's just a big body.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: But but keep in mind the biggest problem that we
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: run into and recruiting some of these players, and put
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: this way, the big fish that Oklahoma won it out
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: of the transfer portal, they got You got jah Mateer,
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: you got Jay Not two of the best that were
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: in the portal. Why did you get them? This is
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: a very good chance they're your starters. Yeah, you got
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: Geovanni Gibson, who we're finding out is that dude, you
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: Keantes Lewis, who's a solid addition. Dion Burks who you
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: got last year. You added in Isaiah Setana, who I'm
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: hearing very good things about.
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: Very good.
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: Those players were added Why because they got an opportunity
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: to play now. Yeah, this is where you run into
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: problems later down the line unless you find like a
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: massive stud that you're like, hey, we're probably going to
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: start you. The struggle is the further you get into this,
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: the less players you're going to run into that are
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: truly starting caliber. Now, somebody's gonna get a pretty good
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: one with Gavin Soltchuk. I think if he goes to Colorado,
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: he may end up being their top back.
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: That's what you're gonna get Colorado, Utah, Arizona State. I
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: heard Arizona States somewhat of a you know they Scataboo
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: just got drafted and he was the heart and soul
- 1:15:43Speaker 3: of Now listen, Gavin Startschuk is not Scott. They are
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: not anywhere near the same player camp. Scattaboo is a
- 1:15:51Speaker 3: guy that whether it's running back or whether it's you know,
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: laying bricks, that guy is going to go out and
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: he is going to get mucked up, and he's going
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: to get dirty, and he is going to I mean
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: he that that that that is a guy that I
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: wish Denver would have drafted. I would have loved to
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: see Cam's at Kataboo and I'm gonna watch him very
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: very intently. But yeah, I agree with you, Jay Is
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: at this point, you know, you gotta if you're if
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: you're still kind of you know, circulating out there and
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: you're looking for starter money, but you're not slated as
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: a starter guy, then yeah, you're not gonna get what
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: people are have gotten, you know, in the past couple
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: of weeks. And so I would say this, I bet
- 1:16:32Speaker 3: maybe one or two other situations where we have you know,
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: players enter out but outside of that, you know, the
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: portal clothes on Friday, and I think ou has forty
- 1:16:41Speaker 3: eight hours to put the paperwork in. So I'd venture
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: to say that the exits are pretty much set at
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: this point unless some of the past papers and hasn't
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: set anything. Uh, but I haven't heard any of that.
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: So I think that as far as like people leaving,
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: you got that one oh five number, you got to
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: get there, and you know you can't be willing and
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: dealing and sending people out late. I think it's pretty
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: much done. So I think we're transfer portals probably, I'll go,
- 1:17:09Speaker 3: I'll go with by this time next week, I think
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: that we pretty much have everything wrapped up.
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd say bye, yeah, even the ones incoming right.
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: Yeah, And you even saw Phil Steele. Phil Steel now
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: has thirty four days to get all of his coaches
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: interviews for the magazine and you know, so he wrapped
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: that up. But you know he's moving forward because he thinks,
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: you know, all the pieces that are going to legitimately
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: make a difference, you know, a change the number of
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: wins and losses. I think those are pretty much done
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: at this point.
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: Yeah, the ones that are going to change the game
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: for you are kind of done. So yeah, we got
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: thirty five days left until Phil Stee drops the Bible
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: and I'll be reading the heck out of it, building
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: my own rosters and understanding who is who's going to
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: be where. Cannot wait to get my hands on that
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: preview from Phil Steel. All right, thank y'all once again
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: for pulling up for the live Hit the like button,
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: subscribe if you have it, rate review, give us five.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: Share with a friend. Why because sharing is carrying. Check
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: out our friends over there at Bagman Water. They're making
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: an NIL thing big for us. They're trying. They've got it,
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: only so long before nil is done. We will be
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: back next Sunday per the norm, and we'll talk about
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: something in the week because we're done. No more practices. Hey,
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: check out a good question. How does it work during
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: the summer? How can they build the relationship with the
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: QB and wiver cs that really need to be developed.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: The quarterback pulls them out and they go work out together.
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: That is literally what typically happens is material is gonna
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: be in town, the wide receiver's gonna be in town together.
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: Now I was just gonna go work out. That was
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: what Dylan Gable used to do. He used to go
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: pick up people. They go to like a remote spot
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: work on right and yeah, you saw that, you saw
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: the chemistry built. Supposedly, Materi has done something similar to
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: some players. I know he did that with Giovanni and
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: Dion Burks. I expect him to do that with Kearnie
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: and the others and make it happen. So keep Yes,
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: it is very legal for quarterback to hang out with
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: his friends that are the wide receivers on the team.
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: There's no rule against that. Organized practices are illegal. But
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: if the wire receiver and all his people come together
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: and kick it and hang out by the lake, but
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: then go run routes, yea, who's gonna stop them? You
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: gonna tell me I can't hang with my friends. You're
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: gonna tell me that I'm not allowed to talk to
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: my friends. Yeah, they can't stop them. That's a good thing.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: It's Materier will get them. They'll probably go golf and
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: they'll probably do some frisbee golf or disc golf or
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: whatever it's called the legal name of it. I need
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: to go do that. I actually come to Tolst and
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: do they have a friend that does that that work with? Go? Yeah,
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: you do it too, need gonna do it.
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: Let's get some disc coffee.
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: Let's gonna make that happen. We make that happen on
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: a Friday. But all right, we're out. We will chop
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: it up with each and every one of y'all next week.
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: Have a great Sunday evening. Drink some water.
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: Pass
