  Speaker 1: Family owned and operated since 1972. Sevchak Service Center, 2200 Longmire,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: just down from the post office in College Station. Thanks
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: for joining us here on the Thursday edition of the show.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Glad to have you with us. We're going to hear
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: from Coach Elko. We've got a high school report. We've
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: got the Clark Eisenhower outdoor edition. In the second hour,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: we're going to be joined by by wildlife biologist Billy Lambert,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: who comes on about this time every year on the state.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: We will visit with him in the second hour of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the program. Mike Elko did meet with the media today
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and announced that a couple of players are lost for
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the season because of injury, running back Tiger Ryden. Big
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: back and defensive lineman Chase Sims says Elko will miss
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the season due to injuries. Elko also announced wide receiver
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Jerome Miles and offensive lineman Nelson McGuire were no longer
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: with the program, according to him, because of personal reasons.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Ryden saw limited action in five games a year ago,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: but he was just mentioned. by Holman Wiggins last year,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: somebody who had made strides and they had planned on using.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I think that leaves them with four scholarship running backs.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's right. So the team practiced today. Next
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: week is game week. We will have Coach Elko's weekly
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: press conference next Monday afternoon at 1.30. So that's how
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that will go and will generally be on Mondays throughout
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the football season. And speaking of that, we do have
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: college football this weekend. Starting up, not everybody, but a few.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: North Carolina and TCU from Ireland. San Jose State and USC.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: North Carolina State and Virginia, which should be competitive. Hawaii
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and Stanford. New Mexico State, Florida State, and UNLV with Memphis.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So those are the games, the majority of the games.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: There are a few others. There are some FCS games
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: starting this weekend. And by the way, this is interesting,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and I'm not going to spend time on all of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the lawyers' and threats and saber-rattling going on in the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: wake of the LSU pros' back-to-college situation. We will talk
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to Kirk Bowles about that tomorrow on the program. Kirk
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: will join us for his first of his weekly visits
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: each Friday on College Football. Tony Catalina will be with
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: me and talk Aggie football on Fridays starting tomorrow. This
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is interesting. Tennessee's NIL collective people have come up with
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: an idea with a retail store, a brick and mortar
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: merchandise store dedicated to NILs. The volunteer club thinks it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the first of its kind. Spry Sports Group co-founder Hunter
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Badur says, if you're not willing to listen, learn, read, adapt,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and change in the NIL world, in three to six
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: months you can be a dinosaur. We're constantly looking at
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: new revenue streams, and one of them was starting a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: retail store. We had some great advice from some of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: our donors that in the middle of uncertainty in a market,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you've got a lot of opportunity. Very interesting. So I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: don't know how the logistics and the finances of that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: will be worked out. But if it does work, if
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it does work, we'll see it at every big school. Baseball.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: The Rangers are off. Most of us will tell you
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: they've been off the last two nights. Way off. Way terrible.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: They've made the.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: White Sox look like the 27 Yankees the last two games.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: It has been ugly. There were lots of walks last night.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It was bad. The Astros, thankfully, lost last night to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the Yankees. They will play tonight. We have that game
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: for you when we're finished here. Hayden Wisniewski is pitching
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: against Garrett Cole tonight at Yankee Stadium. So we'll... We'll
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: see what happens. The Astros are sitting at 66 and 67.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So I think that's still a half game ahead of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the Rangers in the woeful AL West. Did we mention
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: how bad the AL West is? I think we've mentioned that.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I just think they should cancel the AL West for
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: this year. And I'm, I'm really beginning to believe for
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the first time ever a team with a record under
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: 500 is going to win this division. These teams just
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: are not very good. They're golfing at Eastlake in Atlanta.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It is the final big tournament of the year in
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the PGA tournament. It is the FedEx Cup finals. The
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: winner will get $ 10 million. Min Woo Lee shot a
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: eight under par 62. Damp conditions after overnight rain and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: no wind has made the course, let's say, gettable. Almost
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: everybody's under par. Victor Haviland shot 64. He is minus six.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Ryan Gerard, Akshay Bhatia are in at minus five. Ryan Fox,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Adam Scott, Gary Woodland in at minus four. Gary Woodland
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: continues to be an incredible story on the tour. And
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler is on. Oh, by the way, Chris Goddard
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is on the course at minus five. Colin Marikawa is
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: on the course. at minus 5. Scotty Scheffler is minus 3.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And Rory, I don't know if he's finished at minus 2.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I think he was playing 18. And he is in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: at 68. So Rory is in at minus 2. Like
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I said, the course has been easier than normal because
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of the weather conditions. The players are shooting darts at
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the pins. And again, no wind to speak of. Wow,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: they had rain in Atlanta. I wish I'd send some
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of that here. That's a whole other story, I guess.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: All right. We've got a high school report coming up.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from defensive lineman Anto Saka. One
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of the names I think you're going to be hearing
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: throughout the season, looking for big things from him. And
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: we've got our Clark Eisenhower outdoor edition. We've got some
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: wild animal stories to tell you about this afternoon. We'll
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: take a break. We're going to hear from Mike Elko
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: when we come back after this for ANCO Insurance.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Anco Insurance is now a part of Hub International, bringing
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you more choices, better value, and even greater expertise. While
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: our name has changed, we're still the same local team
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: you know and trust. Now with even more to offer,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: from business insurance to personal protection and employee benefits, we're

  Speaker 3: service you expect. Now with the strength of Hub International
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: behind us, more resources, more solutions, still your team. Anco Insurance,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: a Hub International company, so you're ready for tomorrow.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Listen to the Houston Astros on the zone.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Thanks to Kelly Bird Dozer.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: I went down to the river to watch the fish
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: swim by.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: But when I got to.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: The river, so once a man wanted to die, I
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: hold on. So then I jumped in the river, but
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: the doggone river was dry. She's alone, gone now Ludwig
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: Oberg from Texas Tech University is.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: In at minus five.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: He's shot at 65 today on the opening round of
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: the PGA.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Tour finale. I mean, there'll be other tournaments right through December,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: but this is kind of it for the year in
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: terms of the big tournaments. Where was I? Yes, Mike Elko.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Mike Elko visited with the media today. You heard that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: here on The Zone. I will tell you again, Most
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Mondays of game week, including this coming Monday, I say
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that he could change the time, but right now scheduled
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: for 1.30, and we will carry those weekly as part
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of our coverage, which, by the way, this year will
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: start four hours before kickoff. So keep that in mind. Well,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you just want to leave it on and not turn
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: it off. I think that's what most of you do anyway,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: which is that's good for me. OK, let's hear a
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: little bit of what Mike Elko had to say in
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: answering questions today.
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: We finalized fall camp. Just a couple roster updates I
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: want to get you guys. Unfortunately, Chase Sims and Tiger
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: Ryden will be out for the season this year due
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: to injuries. Both of those guys will be unavailable for
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: the rest of the year. And then no longer on
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: the roster will be Nelson McGuire and Jerome Miles for
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: personal reasons. And so that's where we are. As we
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: head into game week, I think... Really excited about where
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: we are. I think we've had a really, really strong
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: 18 practices now. As we just walked off of practice
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: number 18, I think the thing is coming together like
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: we hoped it would. And now it's an opportunity to
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: kind of turn our attention to somebody else, which I
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: think it's that part of camp where I think everybody's
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: itching to just get ready to go play somebody else.
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: So we had our last camp practice yesterday. We'll kind
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: of transition into game prep starting tomorrow. It's an exciting time.
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: It's an exciting time to get out there and see
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: what we are, see what we have, and see what
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: we're capable of doing this year. From there, we'll open
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: it up to questions.
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: Coach, we'll go to the left, second row. Alex.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mike.
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: I feel like the last time we talked with you,
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: you said that the week after the first scrimmage was
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: kind of the most challenging, in your opinion. Just what
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: do you think were maybe the biggest strides that y'all
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: made through the back half of camp and what's pleased
• 12:54
  Speaker 10: you the most about your team going into the actual season?
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot of it is mental toughness, honestly. Like,
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: you guys have been here. The heat certainly has been
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: on high the last week. And, you know, that stretch
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: of having to get up every day with nothing really
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: exciting going on. And I'm just really proud of how
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: we pushed through it. And I think, to me, that
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: shows– a team mentally coming together to kind of start
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: battling together to overcome adversity. There are certainly moments and
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: times where the football isn't going to be pretty, but
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: I think we just continue to push through and continue
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: to do things.
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: Coach, we'll go to the left, fourth row.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Howdy, Coach.
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: Howdy.
• 13:37
  Speaker 11: We're about to speak to Isaiah Horton in just a
• 13:39
  Speaker 11: few moments, but he's obviously brought a lot of experience
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: to the.
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: Wide receiver room.
• 13:42
  Speaker 11: What have you seen from him on the field during
• 13:43
  Speaker 11: fall camp and beyond what he's already showed you on
• 13:45
  Speaker 11: the field?
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think he's been what we were hoping we
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: were getting in that he's a big, tall, physical receiver.
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: I think he adds a different dimension to the room,
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: maybe a dimension that we were missing last year in
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: terms of just pure size and height, the ability to
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: go and make contested catches and so forth. and excited
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: to see what he's able to do and what he's
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: able to put together as we move forward into the fall.
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: Coach, we'll go over to the right third row. David.
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: Coach Elko, Reuben Owens has been here for a while,
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: and you've seen his growth. How different is he this
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: year as the veteran in that room and also the
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: strides he's made on the field?
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's good to start that way, right? Been here
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: for a while because a lot of times, I always
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: come back to this, we talk like these kids don't
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: actually stay anywhere, and they do. And he's been here
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: for a while, maybe without it going exactly the way
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: he had mapped it out, going by injury and some
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: of those things.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: I think what you have now is finally that healthy,
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: mature version of him that is physically ready to take
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: on the rigors of an SEC season, has had a really,
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: really strong offseason, has logged a lot of reps, so
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: is really, really comfortable in the run schemes and how
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: we're trying to attack the line of scrimmage and the
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: angles and the lines that we're trying to hit. And
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: so we're excited for him to be able to go
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: out and maybe finally put his absolute best, healthiest foot
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: forward heading into a new season.
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: Coach, we'll go to the left front row. Tony.
• 15:09
  Speaker 11: Coach, coming into the offseason, there was a lot of
• 15:11
  Speaker 11: conversation about Marco Jones and the steps he's taken.
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: What have you seen from him this fall? Obviously, what
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: have you seen how his progression's been? Yeah, I think
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: those steps. I think the difference between being a really
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: talented high school football player and a really good SEC
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: college football player obviously is massive. And I think last year,
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: what he was was a kid who had an unbelievable potential,
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: tremendous traits, but was learning and growing every day about
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: how to actually play fundamental football at the level you
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: need to to be as successful as you can be.
• 15:43
  Speaker 12: And I think.
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: To his credit, because this is always the big challenge,
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: when you are that big, really athletic kid for so long,
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: are you willing to really go to work on all
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: of those fundamentals, those little details that are going to
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: allow you to take your game where you want it
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: to go? I think he's done that. I think you've
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: got a kid now who not only is big and
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: athletic and fits the profile that you would want, but
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: has really detailed his craft, become a lot better fundamentally. Again,
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: I think he's really, really excited to go out there
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: and show that this year.
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: We'll stay on the left, second row.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Alex.
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: Sticking with the DNs, I wanted to ask you about
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: Anto Saka and just what's really impressed you the most
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: about him and just the biggest ways you've seen him
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: grow leading.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: Into this season. Yeah, maturity probably. I think you're bringing
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: in a kid who's played a lot of football, has
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: been around the block a little bit, knows what college
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: football is all about, and obviously has kind of integrated
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: into that room. And, again, another physical kid. I think
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: we've got a really, really strong, deep group of defensive ends,
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: and he's obviously a big piece of it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: Coach will go all the way in the back, Landon.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: Howdy, Coach.
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: Howdy.
• 16:51
  Speaker 13: Spoke with Coach Hemphill on Tuesday. We talked to him
• 16:53
  Speaker 13: a little bit about the linebacker crew, and he talked
• 16:55
  Speaker 13: about how Damian's injury kind of helped that group progress
• 16:58
  Speaker 13: a little bit quicker than they might have before. What
• 17:00
  Speaker 13: have you seen from that group, and do you agree
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: with that sentiment?
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so. And obviously you don't ever want
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: anybody to get injured for sure, and I wish Damian didn't,
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: and I wish he was out there playing. But those
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: reps had to go somewhere, and the urgency to be
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: the guy had to go somewhere. And I think all
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: of those kids, because of that, have taken a big
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: step forward. And so when you look at what Noah
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: McHale has been able to do, what Ray Coney has
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: been able to do, what Jordan Lockhart has been able
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: to do, and then just young guys, Tamarian Watkins and
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: Tank King, as they've kind of emerged because they've been
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: given more opportunities.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah, I think what.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: We have now is a stronger, deeper group than maybe
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: we had in the spring when we had a lot
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: more guys still trying to figure things out.
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: Coach, we'll go to the front right.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Carter.
• 17:48
  Speaker 14: Mike, what have you made of this recent craze with
• 17:51
  Speaker 14: the NFL players thinking about coming back to college, and
• 17:54
  Speaker 14: what's prevented you guys from maybe wanting to explore that,
• 17:57
  Speaker 14: and what have you thought of the SEC ruling around that?
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: It reminded me of a really smart guy who stood
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: on a podium and cried for centralized leadership in college
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: sports because it felt like a lot of people were
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: just acting in their best interests. I can't remember who
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: it was that said that recently, but I feel like
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: somebody came out and said something like that. Yeah, it's
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: a statement about where we are from a governance standpoint
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: that we are having conversations about what the rules are
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: going to be regarding roster management on August 27th, and
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: we kick off. There's games tonight, there's games Saturday, and
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: we're not even really sure what the rules are around
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: who can play on our teams this fall. I think that,
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: if you want a statement about where we are as
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: a overall governance structure, that's where we are. We entertain everything,
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: so I don't think it's fair to say, why haven't
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: we entertained? I think you entertain everything until you figure
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: out what the landscape is going to look like. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: think from our perspective... we are very comfortable and confident
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: with the culture that we've built, and I don't know
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: that it makes a ton of sense for us in
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: August to go out and recruit a whole bunch of
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: kids who haven't been through it all with us, haven't
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: been through the hard days in the summer with Coach Moffitt,
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: haven't been through spring ball, haven't been through team bonding.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: It doesn't make a ton of sense for us to
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: go infuse 10, 12, 8 new players into our roster,
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: and so That's probably why we never really were at
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: the forefront of that. But I do think it's unwise
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: in this day and age to not be aware of
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: what is out there. And so we certainly were aware,
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: but I think ultimately made the decision that we're very
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: confident in comfortable with what we have in this building
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: and we're confident in rolling with them this fall.
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: Fourth row. Yep, fourth.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Row.
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: Kind of on that point, with the SEC continuing to
• 20:03
  Speaker 11: get deeper and more competitive, what do you think separates
• 20:05
  Speaker 11: the teams that are able to consistently compete at the
• 20:07
  Speaker 11: top of the league?
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's those winning plays. We talked a lot about that.
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: The difference between, and we say this to the team
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: a lot, if you just go back last year to
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: Notre Dame, the difference between the feelings in this building,
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: around this program, and about this program, because we converted
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: a fourth and 11, as opposed to had we not
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: converted a fourth and 11. And that's football. And every year,
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: that's football. And we've got to continue to be the
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: team that steps up and makes those winning plays in
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: those moments. I think that's what we did last year.
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: That's what we did in that game. That's what we
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: did on defense against Auburn. That's what we did against
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: South Carolina. Unfortunately, that's what we didn't do in the
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: playoff game. That's ultimately where football is going to be.
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: I think the more... parity sets in, which it clearly is,
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: and the more the top, I think, continues to come
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: down a little bit and the bottom continues to rise
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: a little bit and you're starting to see a lot
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: more similar-like teams with a ninth conference game, it's going
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: to be that. It's going to come down to those
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: winning plays. And so you try to work on them.
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: You try to put your kids in those positions as
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: often as you can. You try to do it at
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: times when they're really, really uncomfortable because that's when they're
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: going to happen in the game, and you just try
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: to build that mental resilience they're going to need to
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: be successful.
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: Coach, we'll go back over to Alex on the left.
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: Lyle told us the other day he's going to be
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: in the press box for games this year. Was he
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: in the box last year, or was he on the sideline?
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: He was in the box. Yeah, he was in the box. Yeah,
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: Jay was on the sideline. He was in the box.
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: What do you like about that setup? with him being
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: in the box as DC?
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: I think he likes it. I think, to me, that's
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: always a decision on them, not me. It's not me
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: mandating him go up there. I think it's where do
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: you think you can be the most useful, the most helpful.
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: He'll be the walkie-talkie guy this year, and so he'll
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: be talking to the green dot, and so where do
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: you feel like you can best comfortably do that? So
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: I think it's way less about me saying, oh, I
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: feel a certain way about him now I think it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: more him, probably secondary background, no different than when I
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: was a coordinator. You just feel and see the game
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: a little bit better when you're a little bit further
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: up and a little further removed.
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: And just conversely, is Holman planning to be in the
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: box or down on the field? Have you all decided that?
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Holman will be in the box as well. And
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: I think similar, very similar conversation. It's a conversation with
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: him about where are you comfortable? Where do you feel
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: the most comfortable doing this from? And I think, again,
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: his perspective is he feels the most comfortable being up there.
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: And so that's how we'll do it. He'll talk with
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: the green dot, too. Yeah, you kind of build it
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: around the coordinator is just always kind of how I've
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: seen it. So you talk to the coordinator about where
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: he's most comfortable, and then I think you have opinions
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: with the rest of the staff about where you're going
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: to balance things based on who needs to talk to
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: who and how you're going to put it all together.
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: We'll go to Carter front right.
• 23:03
  Speaker 14: Without Tiger, how are you guys feeling about your running
• 23:06
  Speaker 14: back depth, and do you feel like Reuben can be
• 23:09
  Speaker 14: a guy in those short yardage situations that y'all can
• 23:11
  Speaker 14: lean on?
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I hope so. I think him and Jamarian have
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: really had strong camps. We're really happy with what Carson
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: Baker and K.J. Edwards have done in fall camp, and
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: so we feel really good about the group that we have. Again,
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: until they do it, nothing is anything, but we certainly
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: feel and believe in what we have and believe in
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: Reuben to go out there and be that guy for
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: us every down.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: That's Mike Elko today answering questions. I'm not sure how
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: different the questions will be on Monday. Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Three days in between. Hopefully he doesn't have to step
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: up and announce like any injuries in the next few days.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I know I'm guessing they're off on Sunday, I think.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: But anyway, game week next week. That'll be good.
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: So.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I watched the Vince Young documentary last night on Netflix,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and I kept thinking to myself, it's not wildly different
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: from the Johnny Manziel documentary. And I was kind of
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit surprised, but not really.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: You know, what has made headlines is the relationship with
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher, the Titans coach, right? We already knew kind
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: of the wide story. Vince was coddled at home with
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: his sisters. He didn't have a father. He wasn't used
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: to people telling him no. He was coddled at Texas. Um,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, I knew that Steve McNair was his mentor.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: He called him Pops. He was basically his father. And
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I think most of the issues with Vince Young started
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: when Steve McNair was killed, basically. Then Vince had no mentor.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: He had nobody to guide him. And I'm not making
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: excuses for that, by the way. But we already knew
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that he wasn't a huge student of the game. But again,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: when McNair left his life is really when things really
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: went downhill for Vince. Jeff Fisher was a no-nonsense guy, right?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you're in the pros now. You know,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: one of the incidences was Vince was late to the plane.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: And he was told, he was on the phone with
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: his teammates saying, hey, I'm right here. And he drove
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: up onto the tarmac, I think, as the plane was leaving.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: And Jeff Fisher's like, no. No, we're leaving. You be
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: here on time. And that kind of, you know, that started...
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: A war. I mean, Jeff Fisher wasn't. Again, this was
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the NFL. But I will say in the last part.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher came off a little petty. Vince went to treatment,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: which I didn't know about. For alcohol and substance abuse.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: He came back. He went to AA meetings, and part
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: of the steps is you ask for forgiveness. He wrote
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a letter to Jeff Fisher apologizing for what he did,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you know, with that team. Jeff Fisher never responded. Jeff
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Fisher's answer was, well, he misspelled my name. I'm not
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: even sure Vince wrote that letter. That came off as
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: really petty, right? To me, anyway. And never acknowledged, apparently,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Vince's apology. All you look at is the same thing
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I looked at with Johnny in Cleveland. What a waste.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Now, Johnny didn't have the physical tools, the size that
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Vince had, right? But he had lots of intangibles. And
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: he was obviously really good. But I came away after
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: watching this documentary last night, it's like, same thing. Because
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: he was the rookie of the year in the NFL, right?
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: And he took a team that had been, I don't know, whatever,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: 4-10 or how many games they played, and won an
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: extra six games the next year, went to the playoffs
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: a couple of times. And was really pretty good. And
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: would have been much better had he been a man.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: And not spent all his extra time partying. And done
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the things you're supposed to do to be a professional.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: But I came away thinking the same thing I came
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: away from the Manziel documentary. It's like, man, just wasted it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: And And now that they're both too old, it's like
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: they were looking back going, yeah, I did. I screwed up.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I wasted it. From that standpoint, it was sad, you know.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: But Vince was pretty honest about it. I will say that.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: You know, he was pretty honest about it. But now
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: he's 42, and it's like, wow, I got it. have
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: my life left. I'm not a football player. You know,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: it's the same story we've seen over and over and
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: over again. Like, what am I going to do? I
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: don't have football. Yeah, it's sad to see all of
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: that go to waste. We've got a high school report
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: coming up next. I want to send you over to
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Galleria Day Spa and Galleria Spa Salon and Boutique in

• 32:03
  Speaker 18: Welcome into the High School Report. I'm Caleb Rapley and
• 32:05
  Speaker 18: today we are jumping out to the Polaris Fun Center
• 32:08
  Speaker 18: phone line to visit with the head coach of the
• 32:10
  Speaker 18: Navasota Rattlers football team, Mr.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Trey Allen.
• 32:14
  Speaker 18: Coach, thanks for joining me today.
• 32:16
  Speaker 19: Appreciate you having me on.
• 32:17
  Speaker 18: Coach Allen has been very vocal as we mentioned before
• 32:21
  Speaker 18: we went on air that last night at the scrimmage,
• 32:24
  Speaker 18: Still feeling the effects of that, I'm sure. But it's
• 32:26
  Speaker 18: been a long time since we've got to see high
• 32:29
  Speaker 18: school football on the field. We've been talking about it
• 32:32
  Speaker 18: for the last month. We are finally ready to see
• 32:36
  Speaker 18: action on the field. So how has this offseason been
• 32:39
  Speaker 18: for you and your team?
• 32:41
  Speaker 19: Offseason has been great. You know, the kids have worked hard.
• 32:43
  Speaker 19: They've shown up all summer long. And even going back
• 32:46
  Speaker 19: in the spring.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: You know, we kill them in the weight room and
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: out on the track and on the field and stuff,
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: just running and gunning. And they've responded really well.
• 32:55
  Speaker 19: We have a good group this year that is budding completely.
• 32:59
  Speaker 19: Of course, this group here, this group of seniors were–
• 33:04
  Speaker 19: when I first came into Navasota, and so they've been
• 33:06
  Speaker 19: in our system now for three years, and they're good leaders,
• 33:09
  Speaker 19: and they know how we operate and what our standard
• 33:12
  Speaker 19: is and what our expectations are, and so couldn't be
• 33:15
  Speaker 19: happier with who they are as young men, and hopefully
• 33:19
  Speaker 19: we get some Ws this year.
• 33:21
  Speaker 18: So on the offensive side of the ball, bringing back
• 33:23
  Speaker 18: a lot of experience, seven starters from 2025, and one
• 33:28
  Speaker 18: of the biggest names from those starters is your quarterback,
• 33:32
  Speaker 18: Jason Jablonski, who threw for, I think it was over 3,000
• 33:36
  Speaker 18: yards and 40 touchdowns last season, but a lot of
• 33:39
  Speaker 18: experience around him as well. So how big of a
• 33:43
  Speaker 18: benefit is that going to be for your offense?
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: It's huge, you know, because we're further along right now than.
• 33:49
  Speaker 19: We were last year offensively. And, you know, going back to.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: The standard expectations, our kids know what to expect.
• 33:55
  Speaker 19: Our entire offensive line comes back.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: Quarterback, our two running backs come back.
• 34:00
  Speaker 19: And then one of our wideouts come back. And so
• 34:03
  Speaker 19: it's very beneficial for us to be able to move
• 34:08
  Speaker 19: our offense.
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: Along and get to where we want to be earlier
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: than what we normally are. But we're also stronger. We're
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: more experienced.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: We're stronger.
• 34:16
  Speaker 19: And so the little mistakes that maybe we were making
• 34:19
  Speaker 19: this time last year, we're not making them now. And
• 34:23
  Speaker 19: we have some great leaders on our offense, not just
• 34:25
  Speaker 19: offensive line, but Jace taking that role upon himself. And
• 34:30
  Speaker 19: he's been our starting quarterback. This is his third year.
• 34:32
  Speaker 19: And so there's not a whole lot that we can't
• 34:34
  Speaker 19: throw at him that.
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: He can't do.
• 34:35
  Speaker 19: And so we're excited to see what our offense can
• 34:38
  Speaker 19: do this year.
• 34:39
  Speaker 18: And then on the other side of the ball, the
• 34:42
  Speaker 18: defense– is going to be a lot younger than the offense,
• 34:45
  Speaker 18: only four starters returning, one of those being linebacker Davin Torres,
• 34:51
  Speaker 18: who was a big part of the Rattler defense last year.
• 34:55
  Speaker 18: So who are some young players that you are looking
• 34:59
  Speaker 18: to see step up and fill those holes?
• 35:02
  Speaker 19: There's a lot of kids. You're exactly right. We're inexperienced
• 35:05
  Speaker 19: on the defensive side with the exception of about two
• 35:07
  Speaker 19: or three of them because even the returning people from
• 35:11
  Speaker 19: last year, they may have been in a backup role
• 35:13
  Speaker 19: last year. And so we have a lot of kids
• 35:15
  Speaker 19: from JV from last year, a lot of kids in backup.
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: Roles last year. I'm excited to see people like Amari
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: Williams step up in.
• 35:25
  Speaker 19: Our defensive back group. He was a backup for us
• 35:28
  Speaker 19: last year, had a great.
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: Spring, worked his butt off, got stronger, got faster, and
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: really showed us some things during spring football and over
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: the summertime when we're doing sports-specific stuff. And so we're
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: excited to have him. Another one that a lot of
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: people don't know is Tristan Cross. Tristan Cross is a
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: sophomore that was a big-time player for us on the
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: freshman team last year as a running back and linebacker.
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: We have moved him to outside linebacker. He has good speed,
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: good strength.
• 36:02
  Speaker 19: I'm excited to see him come along throughout the year.
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: We're just going to be inexperienced.
• 36:07
  Speaker 19: And it's going to take some time for them to
• 36:10
  Speaker 19: start getting the confidence that they need on a.
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: Friday night because, you.
• 36:14
  Speaker 19: Know, bullets are going to be flying a lot faster
• 36:16
  Speaker 19: than they do on Thursday night. And so once they
• 36:18
  Speaker 19: get that, I think we'll be okay.
• 36:20
  Speaker 18: So this February was realignment in UIL. So your Rattlers
• 36:26
  Speaker 18: move from District 12, 4A Division 1 over to District 11.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Only one team on.
• 36:34
  Speaker 18: Your district schedule that was In your district last year
• 36:37
  Speaker 18: in the Needville Blue Jays, but other than that, four
• 36:40
  Speaker 18: new teams, or I think five new teams that you
• 36:43
  Speaker 18: have not played in district play. So the landscape is
• 36:46
  Speaker 18: very different. How big of an impact is that going
• 36:49
  Speaker 18: to make on your mindset going into district later in
• 36:53
  Speaker 18: the season?
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: Well, our mindset's still going to be the same. You know,
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: control what we can control. Do what we can do
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: just day by day. Don't worry about the future. You know,
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: all I'm worried about today is fifth period and getting
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: our kids to come down and to get a lift
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: in and to get some stretching in and a little
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: bit of running because we scrimmaged last night. But we're
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: not worried about that.
• 37:15
  Speaker 19: You know, like Royal, we played.
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: Them last year. They just wasn't in district. Needville, we
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: played them for several years now. But, look, I mean,
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: make no mistake about it. Our district is very, very tough.
• 37:26
  Speaker 19: I think we have five teams ranked.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: In the top 30 out of our district, including us.
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: And depending on what poll you look at, some of
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: them are as high as number three in the state.
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: So it's a week in, week out, very, very tough district.
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: that we're going to have to have our A game
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: every day. And I think that it's going to be
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: a slobber knocker every dadgum week.
• 37:45
  Speaker 19: There is no easy week.
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: There is no, hey, let's see what this kid can
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: do this week and be able to get that kid
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: in some more playing time and all that kind of stuff.
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: It's going to be rough every week, but I think
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: we're up for the challenge.
• 37:59
  Speaker 19: The biggest thing, our kids, they know what.
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: Our expectations are. Our slogan is win the day. We're
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: not worried about tomorrow. We're not worried about anything. We're
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: just worried about today, and that's it. And so if
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: we can stack days on top of days, you know,
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: that's recipe for success.
• 38:13
  Speaker 18: Piggybacking off of that, looking at the schedule for 2026,
• 38:19
  Speaker 18: what are your goals for this team and what are
• 38:22
  Speaker 18: the keys to achieve those goals?
• 38:25
  Speaker 19: Well, our goal is to win football games. I think
• 38:29
  Speaker 19: that's everybody's.
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: Goal is to win football games, make it as far
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: as you can in the playoffs and all that kind
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: of stuff. But once again, I go back to I'm
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: not worried about the season as a whole. I'm worried
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: about today and today only.
• 38:41
  Speaker 19: And what I am looking for us to be able.
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: To do is– is to get our defensive side more experienced,
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: to get them understanding our schemes, playing fast without having
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: to think. Offensively, I'd love to be able to add
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: stuff that we didn't have.
• 38:59
  Speaker 19: Last year just because we are experienced on the offensive side.
• 39:04
  Speaker 19: But I can't help but just go back to say.
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: Look, I'm not worried about tomorrow. I'm worried about today,
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: and that's it. And so as long as we take
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: care of what we need to take care of day
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: by day, we're going to be okay.
• 39:15
  Speaker 18: And finally, we are getting ready for week one. The
• 39:20
  Speaker 18: Rattlers will go on the road to take on LaGrange
• 39:24
  Speaker 18: Friday night. So this is a team that you've played
• 39:27
  Speaker 18: in non-district play the last couple seasons. I think Navasota
• 39:30
  Speaker 18: and LaGrange were paired together in district a few years ago,
• 39:33
  Speaker 18: so very familiar with them. What do you look to
• 39:36
  Speaker 18: see from LaGrange?
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: Look, LaGrange is a good football program, right? I mean,
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: that's a historic football program. Coach Cooper and his staff
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: do a good job over there. They have a lot
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: of kids returning on both sides of the ball. Their
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: quarterback is explosive. They do a lot of quarterback reads
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: with him. He can throw the ball well. So it's
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: going to be very challenging for us defensively to be
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: able to cover receivers and at the same time be
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: able to stop the quarterback and the running back. Defensively,
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: they have some big guys up front. They come off
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: the football and look to make plays. They get off
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: blocks really well. They got a couple linebackers that fly around.
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: And so, like I said, there's not an easy game
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: on our schedule, which is a good thing. We don't
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: want easy games. We want to be challenged every week,
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: and the Grinch is certainly going to do that week one.
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: So we've got to have a good week of practice
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: this next week and as best we can with the
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: whole wet bulb crap and all that kind of junk. But,
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: you know, we're going to have to bring our A
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: game every week.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: All right, Coach.
• 40:37
  Speaker 18: Well, I appreciate your time today, and good luck to
• 40:40
  Speaker 18: your Rattlers this season.
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: Thank you very much. Win the Ducks.

  Speaker 5: you're ready to streamline and automate your company, who do
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: you call? Texas Barcode Systems. They've been the industry-leading supplier
• 43:49

  Speaker 23: The Houston Astros struggled offensively last night as they managed
• 44:06
  Speaker 23: just four hits in a 9-3 loss to the Yankees.
• 44:09
  Speaker 23: The Astros did score first with an RBI double by
• 44:11
  Speaker 23: Jose Altuve in the first inning.
• 44:13
  Speaker 17: First pitch and Altuve hits it in the center.
• 44:15
  Speaker 7: Grisham.
• 44:16
  Speaker 17: Going back on it, still going back, can't get it.
• 44:19
  Speaker 17: It's over his head and goes all the way to
• 44:20
  Speaker 17: the wall. Around third, Paredes coming home, and he will score.
• 44:24
  Speaker 17: Altuve in the second base, and it's 1-0 Astros. A
• 44:29
  Speaker 17: misplay by Trent Grisham in center field.
• 44:32
  Speaker 23: The Yankees would respond, though, playing two in the bottom
• 44:34
  Speaker 23: half of the inning, and the game would remain close
• 44:36
  Speaker 23: until the seventh when New York scored four, followed by
• 44:39
  Speaker 23: two in the eighth. The Astros dropped to 66-67 on
• 44:42
  Speaker 23: the season, and the rubber match is today as Hayden
• 44:45
  Speaker 23: Wesneski takes the hill against Garrett Cole. First pitch is
• 44:48
  Speaker 23: scheduled for 6.05. With your Houston Astros report, I'm Dylan Moore.

  Speaker 24: local people, local decisions since 1925.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Member FDIC. on a warm summer's Eve.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: You know, since we're playing Kenny, uh, Stan, let's do, uh,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: next time. Let's do a little islands in the stream
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: with Kenny and Dolly. How about that? Uh, Scotty Scheffler
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: is four under par and playing the par five 18. Uh,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: he had a 344 yard drive, so he will be
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: going for the green in, in two. Um, Looking at
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the FedEx Cup right now. As we mentioned, as I mentioned,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Anto Saka is a guy. Somebody has their top 30
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: freak list. I forget which. Who is that? ESPN guy, maybe. Anyway,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: they always put out their top 30 freak list. And
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: that means, you know, the freakiest athletes in college football are.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: This guy made that list. And let's hear from Anto Saka.
• 46:37
  Speaker 12: One thing I know as well, one thing I really
• 46:39
  Speaker 12: like about this game, how he used me, is just
• 46:41
  Speaker 12: allowing me to play a little bit wider, use my
• 46:44
  Speaker 12: athletic ability more, more upfield, attack style defense.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: So it's been fun. I think Hemphill also said you've
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: been playing both end positions.
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: What's that kind of dynamic been like and just kind
• 46:57
  Speaker 10: of how.
• 46:57
  Speaker 21: You feel like each spot kind of fits your skill set?
• 47:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so throughout spring ball, I was working more primarily
• 47:03
  Speaker 12: at the end position. And then during our summer training session,
• 47:07
  Speaker 12: that's when I really took the time to sit there
• 47:10
  Speaker 12: and play looking like a jack position just to give
• 47:12
  Speaker 12: myself some more flexibility to be asked whether they need
• 47:14
  Speaker 12: me on the field.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: How hard was it to battle the assistant pass rush.
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: When you were at Northwestern?
• 47:21
  Speaker 25: I'm wondering, were you facing double teams, triple teams frequently,
• 47:27
  Speaker 25: or how often would you say you were double teamed?
• 47:31
  Speaker 12: I'll say more times than not, but you know, I mean,
• 47:34
  Speaker 12: that's not really the mindset that I have. The mindset
• 47:36
  Speaker 12: I have is that I'm going to get the quarterback
• 47:37
  Speaker 12: by any means necessary, so.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: And what was your reaction to being on the freaks list?
• 47:43
  Speaker 21: I don't know if you saw that.
• 47:45
  Speaker 26: When did you first start taking weightlifting and all that
• 47:48
  Speaker 26: kind of stuff seriously?
• 47:49
  Speaker 12: Well, one, it's a blessing, but just nice to see
• 47:53
  Speaker 12: the people acknowledging the hard work that I put out
• 47:54
  Speaker 12: here on the field, out of the weight room. I've
• 47:57
  Speaker 12: always kind of... Been athletic, I love sports since I
• 48:01
  Speaker 12: was a young kid. Really didn't start lifting in a
• 48:04
  Speaker 12: serious way until about sophomore year of high school. So,
• 48:08
  Speaker 12: but yeah, I mean, it was a blessing to be
• 48:11
  Speaker 12: on that list. Hopefully I can really bring that out
• 48:13
  Speaker 12: to the field this year for y'all.
• 48:14
  Speaker 26: With Tommy, just what difference have you seen in yourself.
• 48:18
  Speaker 14: Being able to work on him often?
• 48:20
  Speaker 26: And what has maybe benefited you the most working with
• 48:23
  Speaker 26: him this offseason?
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Cosmophily has been the greatest.
• 48:26
  Speaker 12: One thing that I know is that we're a real
• 48:28
  Speaker 12: big Olympic lifting type program, real big on power output
• 48:32
  Speaker 12: and explosiveness. And that's done wonders for me. All my
• 48:36
  Speaker 12: numbers have skyrocketed. All my major lifts at least 40 pounds.
• 48:40
  Speaker 12: So they have a science here and it works and
• 48:43
  Speaker 12: pays off.
• 48:44
  Speaker 26: When you, uh, now that you've been here through the
• 48:46
  Speaker 26: spring and then through the summer and everything, who are
• 48:49
  Speaker 26: some of the guys that you look at as a
• 48:52
  Speaker 26: patch rusher and say, you.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Know, this guy's really good? Like on the sand? Yeah.
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Who impresses you?
• 48:59
  Speaker 12: The way that everybody is really taking the jump, I'm
• 49:02
  Speaker 12: so excited about T.J.
• 49:03
  Speaker 7: Searcy.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited about Marco Jones, Landon Rain, D.J. Hicks.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: It's just everybody, the way.
• 49:09
  Speaker 12: We've improved from the winter until this point in our
• 49:12
  Speaker 12: pass rush and our ability to stop the run, it's going.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: To be a show to watch.
• 49:17
  Speaker 27: Conversely, on the other side of that, who are the
• 49:19
  Speaker 27: offensive liners? kind of impressed you and kind of give
• 49:21
  Speaker 27: you the best battle so far?
• 49:23
  Speaker 12: Obviously our guys, Wilk and Tyree, they're the real deal.
• 49:27
  Speaker 12: There's always good work going against the iron sharpest iron,
• 49:30
  Speaker 12: so I'm excited for y'all to see them as well.
• 49:32
  Speaker 27: What's it like working under Lyle Hamill and how have
• 49:35
  Speaker 27: you experienced him as a defensive.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Coordinator so far?
• 49:37
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Coach Hamill, he's a great guy, real energetic, real passionate,
• 49:41
  Speaker 12: easy to talk to, knows balls. So any questions that
• 49:44
  Speaker 12: I have about the scheme, me being a new guy,
• 49:47
  Speaker 12: trying to learn multiple decisions, he's been really helpful in that,
• 49:50
  Speaker 12: helping me transition as easy as possible.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: How intricate is.
• 49:55
  Speaker 26: Kind of a Mike Elko defense, especially for a defensive end?
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: You know, it makes you think a little bit, but
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: it's okay. It works.
• 50:02
  Speaker 12: Proof is in the pudding. You see the evidence, you
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: see the film. So being able to kind of just
• 50:07
  Speaker 12: really come in and learn a defense that's a little
• 50:09
  Speaker 12: bit more intricate, I feel like a little bit more pro-style,
• 50:11
  Speaker 12: it's been great for me.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: It's always going to help my development.
• 50:14
  Speaker 12: And so coming off of that, you being a new guy,
• 50:16
  Speaker 12: kind of anything you learned in Northwestern, we.
• 50:18
  Speaker 9: Kind of have to unlearn and learn here with this team.
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, it's just a little bit of, we
• 50:27
  Speaker 12: play different techniques, so maybe I hit new guys sometimes
• 50:31
  Speaker 12: when things are going fast. I might revert back to
• 50:34
  Speaker 12: old habits for four years, but, you know, that's what
• 50:36
  Speaker 12: practice is for, to fix those old habits.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Do you have any personal goals now? We're going to
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: second you to fall camp.
• 50:40
  Speaker 27: Any personal goals you want to accomplish before.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: The season kicks off?
• 50:45
  Speaker 12: At this point, no, really, I feel like I've done
• 50:47
  Speaker 12: a great job in the weight room, improving all my
• 50:49
  Speaker 12: numbers as possible. Personal goals out on the field, just
• 50:53
  Speaker 12: be the best version.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Of myself every day.
• 50:54
  Speaker 12: Keep on improving, keep on pushing my teammates on the
• 50:57
  Speaker 12: D-line and everybody else around me.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: That's really it. What are your expectations for this defense
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: this season? To be the best defense in the country,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: simple as that.
• 51:05
  Speaker 10: What have been some of the signs that give you
• 51:08
  Speaker 10: confidence that you guys can.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe achieve that? We got a lot of guys who
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: can rush the pass, and we got a lot of
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: guys who are gritty.
• 51:14
  Speaker 12: A lot of guys that want to go out there
• 51:15
  Speaker 12: and show the best of their position.
• 51:17
  Speaker 27: First day of pads, obviously, did that crank up? What
• 51:20
  Speaker 27: does that mean to you, and how is the energy
• 51:21
  Speaker 27: level today with that?
• 51:24
  Speaker 12: It's more so first day pass, more like a formality.
• 51:27
  Speaker 12: At the end of the day, we were at 100%
• 51:31
  Speaker 12: all day, every day. Whether we're in spiders or whether
• 51:34
  Speaker 12: we're in uppers, just short pass or full pass, mindset
• 51:37
  Speaker 12: stays the same.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: It's time to go.
• 51:38
  Speaker 26: How would you describe the defense going into the season
• 51:41
  Speaker 26: from what you've.
• 51:43
  Speaker 23: Seen so far?
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: Downhill, explosive, gritty, nasty.
• 51:48
  Speaker 25: It's been a lot of years, obviously, since you started
• 51:50
  Speaker 25: your college football career.
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: Do you remember that first day of fullback when you
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: were at Northwestern?
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Did you sort of have like a welcome to college
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: football moment back then?
• 51:59
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I would say, yeah, just regular run play. It
• 52:03
  Speaker 12: was more of a stretch type, mid-zone type play. But
• 52:07
  Speaker 12: with a backside guard pulling, you know, you squeeze down.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: My eyes are all wrong. I'm just trying to figure
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: out what to do at that point.
• 52:15
  Speaker 12: Got a fifth-year senior guard. coming down, all 340 of them,
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: blindsided me, sent me flying.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: That's it, yeah. That's college.
• 52:26
  Speaker 27: Not many names did you give any of those moments to.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Any of the freshmen today? You're not going to talk
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: to me about that.
• 52:34
  Speaker 25: How has that line-to-line competition really looked so far?
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: And did it really ramp up after.
• 52:40
  Speaker 25: You guys were going live?
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: What do you mean by that?
• 52:44
  Speaker 25: Just like big picture, like how has that offensive line,
• 52:47
  Speaker 25: defensive line competition really looked so far?
• 52:49
  Speaker 14: Oh, okay.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: You guys versed each other.
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 52:51
  Speaker 25: And did you feel like a legitimate step up in
• 52:54
  Speaker 25: the atmosphere, I guess, at that point after you guys.
• 52:56
  Speaker 7: Were going live now?
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 52:58
  Speaker 12: I mean, like I was saying– The competition's been the same.
• 53:01
  Speaker 12: Both sides of the ball understand that it's time to go.
• 53:05
  Speaker 12: Us being in full pads is just now we can tackle,
• 53:08
  Speaker 12: but it's been all gas, no brakes the entire time.
• 53:11
  Speaker 26: You mentioned your numbers skyrocketing.
• 53:14
  Speaker 13: In the weight room.
• 53:15
  Speaker 26: What would maybe be the biggest difference? Is it just
• 53:18
  Speaker 26: a strength thing for you, or is it a whole
• 53:20
  Speaker 26: bunch of different areas? What would be kind of that
• 53:22
  Speaker 26: biggest difference if you're on the field as well?
• 53:26
  Speaker 8: Um.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Ask that question again for me, I'm sorry.
• 53:29
  Speaker 26: Just the weight room number, skyrocketing, how will that impact
• 53:33
  Speaker 26: your games?
• 53:33
  Speaker 12: Oh, man, by far, me being stronger against the run,
• 53:37
  Speaker 12: that's always been one thing that I wanted to improve
• 53:39
  Speaker 12: on in my game. Not necessarily just being labeled as
• 53:41
  Speaker 12: a DPR type of guy, but a guy who can
• 53:43
  Speaker 12: be firm in the run game.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: And just being getting stronger, obviously, to hold the point,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: you got to be a strong dude.
• 53:49
  Speaker 12: So I feel like hopefully with these new weight gains,
• 53:51
  Speaker 12: I'll be able to keep on improving on that.
• 53:54
  Speaker 10: Is there any highlight or two that's really stood out
• 53:56
  Speaker 10: to you that the D-line's made so far in preseason practice?
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Any highlights? Yeah. There's too many to count.
• 54:02
  Speaker 12: One guy that I really like that's been really put on,
• 54:05
  Speaker 12: I feel like, the highlight tape is Marco. The other day,
• 54:08
  Speaker 12: Marco brought up a big spin, and I've never really
• 54:11
  Speaker 12: seen that in person.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: And the way he executed, like, I'm excited for Marco Jones.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited for Marco Jones.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: And Tosaka, that was from about 10 days ago or so,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: talking about the depth that they have up front. And
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: that was one of the question marks because they lost
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: guys to the NFL. Can you replace NFL caliber guys
