- 1:46Speaker 1: It was with seventy something degrees last week. It was beautiful.
- 1:49Speaker 1: I got to finally wash my car and get all
- 1:51Speaker 1: of it, like the sand and dirt from the snow
- 1:55Speaker 1: off of I got to really give it like a
- 1:57Speaker 1: good washing and gave it a rinse. But I got
- 1:59Speaker 1: a good washing, So I got to do that. Even
- 2:01Speaker 1: though didn't rain today. That kind of ruined that entire point.
- 2:04Speaker 1: So I have to go rewash my car probably some
- 2:07Speaker 1: time tomorrow. But the good thing is we've got better weather.

- 2:25Speaker 1: thoughts on the Naggy hire. I wanted to throw one
- 2:29Speaker 1: thing out there really quick.
- 2:31Speaker 3: That getting a general manager like him, where you get
- 2:38Speaker 3: everybody and their mother from.
- 2:43Speaker 1: The media, that I mean, you know, the who's who's
- 2:48Speaker 1: out there talking about it probably means you did a
- 2:52Speaker 1: dang good job with you hire. Am I crazy to
- 2:55Speaker 1: think that?
- 2:56Speaker 2: No, I mean, it's I mean, I I just I
- 3:02Speaker 2: just say this is this is a guy who I mean,
- 3:05Speaker 2: any he could have gone into an NFL job and
- 3:08Speaker 2: it had been a great gift for them. He could
- 3:10Speaker 2: have gone to another university, a great gift for them,
- 3:13Speaker 2: you know. I like the the chance you know, he's
- 3:16Speaker 2: been around the Senior Bowl here for a while and
- 3:20Speaker 2: so getting a chance to see the talent really you know,
- 3:23Speaker 2: wanting to see more from uh, you know certain players.
- 3:27Speaker 2: You know there's some there's some judgment piece there. I
- 3:30Speaker 2: think the the relationships with the NFL agents, the relationships
- 3:35Speaker 2: with agents. You know, he's not going to he's not
- 3:39Speaker 2: going that. That's that that's a meeting that if you
- 3:42Speaker 2: are one of these representatives for a player and you
- 3:44Speaker 2: walk in, you're behind the eight ball immediately with Naggy
- 3:47Speaker 2: in there, because he's he's talked with the best of
- 3:50Speaker 2: the best. You know, he's put together talent. What was
- 3:53Speaker 2: it He part of six Super Bowls and winning Uh,
- 3:57Speaker 2: he was on the winning staff for four of them
- 3:59Speaker 2: between Seattle and New England. So I just think that
- 4:04Speaker 2: you get so much from a talent evaluation standpoint. It's huge.
- 4:07Speaker 2: From the capability to have conversations with the agents, you know,
- 4:10Speaker 2: it's pretty huge, you know, because the agents may come
- 4:15Speaker 2: and say, hey, in the NFL, they're really really putting
- 4:17Speaker 2: a big pedigree on you know, small quick defensive backs
- 4:20Speaker 2: now to kind of combat some of these quicker receivers. Well,
- 4:24Speaker 2: he kind of hears some of that stuff out front,
- 4:26Speaker 2: and who do you go look for in the transfer portals,
- 4:29Speaker 2: some small, quick defensive backs. Who can you know, keep
- 4:32Speaker 2: up with quick receivers. And so he's got some of
- 4:34Speaker 2: those relationships too. So I mean, I love it. I
- 4:37Speaker 2: don't see anything that's a negative on this piece.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it got me excited seeing just the way
- 4:43Speaker 1: that everybody was has been responding to it and the
- 4:47Speaker 1: responses has been good. It's been the you know what
- 4:51Speaker 1: you would hope for with someone getting the job here.
- 4:55Speaker 1: You want to you want the responses to be like overwhelming,
- 5:00Speaker 1: the excited, and that's what it felt like in seeing
- 5:06Speaker 1: all the responses we saw on social media. So like,
- 5:09Speaker 1: I'm gonna get one of these pulled up because I
- 5:12Speaker 1: kind of want to point out to one. I think
- 5:14Speaker 1: that this feels like a big name person that if
- 5:21Speaker 1: they're raving about it, you should be excited. Field Gates, right,
- 5:25Speaker 1: you know, fantasy football NFL analysts over their ESPN love
- 5:28Speaker 1: Field Gates one of my favorite people to watch. But
- 5:32Speaker 1: he you know, he chimed in about the higher you also,
- 5:37Speaker 1: you know, you got stuff from just a whole bunch
- 5:40Speaker 1: of people in the NFL space, analysts and everything, and
- 5:44Speaker 1: you made a good point there. The one thing that
- 5:47Speaker 1: I loved about the hire two full of Naggy is
- 5:51Speaker 1: not only relationship he has with agents, but also with
- 5:55Speaker 1: coaches and schools. Because the thing that I look at
- 6:00Speaker 1: gat here is he with him being his general manager
- 6:05Speaker 1: and being very versed in scouting, one of the key
- 6:09Speaker 1: things he's gonna have to really manage and he'll manage
- 6:12Speaker 1: this closely with preventables is the salary cap. Because you're
- 6:15Speaker 1: gonna have a cap. The cap tells you that there's
- 6:23Speaker 1: gonna have to be a tier of prices when it
- 6:26Speaker 1: comes to players to have on the roster. And I
- 6:29Speaker 1: think this is the one thing a lot of fans
- 6:31Speaker 1: probably don't don't get in the grand scheme of you're
- 6:36Speaker 1: not gonna be able to have a team with twenty
- 6:39Speaker 1: two five stars anymore. That's gonna change, you know. The
- 6:44Speaker 1: price of the brick has gone up. People are gonna
- 6:46Speaker 1: charge more players. Schools are going to blow their budgets
- 6:51Speaker 1: on one dude if it's like an inn state guy,
- 6:53Speaker 1: to try to keep them there because that helps bring
- 6:55Speaker 1: in their revenue. Ye.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Naggie has experienced scouting in G five and FCS, so
- 7:06Speaker 4: because of that, he can leverage those relationships to find
- 7:12Speaker 4: dudes that we ain't never heard of that could be
- 7:15Speaker 4: potentially somebody that could come in to be a game breaker,
- 7:17Speaker 4: another Jared Verse type, a Khalil Mack type.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Right, I'm naming players that were at a lower level
- 7:25Speaker 1: that blew up when someone said, hey watch that dude,
- 7:30Speaker 1: that's a dude you need to go get your hands on.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I think that, nagg you'll be able to find some
- 7:34Speaker 1: of those hitting gems to go on top of the
- 7:37Speaker 1: standard chasing of the five Stars. Like the five Stars chasing,
- 7:40Speaker 1: you don't have to do much besides offer them money
- 7:43Speaker 1: and provide them with the opportunity to play. That's the
- 7:46Speaker 1: most important thing. The key thing is going to be
- 7:52Speaker 1: him and Berevitables working together on finding all the proper
- 7:56Speaker 1: pieces to be able to be competitive in SEC. And
- 7:59Speaker 1: I know Naggy knows because he's watched SEC players, he's
- 8:02Speaker 1: evaluated them. He has a good understanding of that component
- 8:05Speaker 1: too well.
- 8:06Speaker 2: In kind of what you're saying is in the NFL,
- 8:09Speaker 2: you can't just go out and you know it's it's
- 8:12Speaker 2: not a video game. You can't just go out and say, well,
- 8:14Speaker 2: I want Patrick Mahomes and let's take Saquon bar Barkley. Uh,
- 8:18Speaker 2: you know, go ahead and give me Jamar Chase and
- 8:21Speaker 2: Justin Shefferd. You can't do that. You got to find
- 8:24Speaker 2: some some some solid star power and then you've got
- 8:27Speaker 2: to fill in, you know, the smaller grains of sand
- 8:30Speaker 2: around those bigger rocks right in that analogy. So that's
- 8:34Speaker 2: where this is going to be big because you know,
- 8:36Speaker 2: I see somebody in the chat who made a comment
- 8:39Speaker 2: that you know what, all right, yeah, money, money still
- 8:41Speaker 2: talks like you're not going to be able to buy
- 8:43Speaker 2: every single available player, and in a lot more cases
- 8:47Speaker 2: than not, it seems that these big ticket players don't
- 8:51Speaker 2: actually bring that much of a significant increase. I mean,
- 8:57Speaker 2: you know, we spent a lot of money on Don Williams,
- 8:59Speaker 2: and you know, rightfully so he solidified this defensive line,
- 9:05Speaker 2: but you know he was you know, sharing that co
- 9:08Speaker 2: top producer with you know, a freshman, and which is
- 9:11Speaker 2: a guy who you paid for a little bit you
- 9:13Speaker 2: know a little bit of good money too, and you
- 9:15Speaker 2: know more this year. So you need to be able
- 9:17Speaker 2: to go out and find a defensive end or another
- 9:20Speaker 2: d tackle somewhere that not is not looking around for
- 9:25Speaker 2: a one million dollar in IL deal, but a guy
- 9:27Speaker 2: who's a little bit smaller and you know you need
- 9:30Speaker 2: to be able to get in there early. So he's
- 9:32Speaker 2: going to have a lot of you know, responsibility and
- 9:35Speaker 2: onus on that one. Because again you see it in
- 9:38Speaker 2: the NFL with the quarterbacks making forty fifty million dollars
- 9:42Speaker 2: on a you know, two hundred and sixty million dollars
- 9:44Speaker 2: salary cap. I mean right there, You're twenty percent is
- 9:47Speaker 2: gone with one player. Now you have sixty some odd
- 9:49Speaker 2: other players to fill out the rest of that, and
- 9:52Speaker 2: you don't do it right and you end up in
- 9:54Speaker 2: a situation right now like the Dallas Cowboys, who cannot
- 9:58Speaker 2: who cannot spend any thing. They gotta sign Michael Parsons,
- 10:01Speaker 2: who's going to demand a really really healthy codchackt. They
- 10:05Speaker 2: just signed you know, Dak. They gave the extension that
- 10:08Speaker 2: is Zeke you know a while back now, brought him
- 10:11Speaker 2: on a you know it. See, you're the horse is dead,
- 10:14Speaker 2: by the way, horse is dead. You gotta fill yourself
- 10:17Speaker 2: in with some players who doesn't have the spotlight of
- 10:21Speaker 2: the entire nation and be able to bring bring a
- 10:23Speaker 2: guy in, you know, like Texas did with Matthew Golden.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Uh that was that was a solid bring in. And
- 10:28Speaker 2: he's he's doing a good job at the at the
- 10:31Speaker 2: combine right now.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Golden is a cooking man. And I can't
- 10:35Speaker 1: be mad. I like, hating is not something I can
- 10:38Speaker 1: do even outside the club. But you know, we'll talk
- 10:40Speaker 1: about our guys in a second. Because the numbers are
- 10:42Speaker 1: out and they look amazing. But on the naggy piece,
- 10:47Speaker 1: thought that you make a solid point on filling up
- 10:52Speaker 1: the hole that the rock is in with the sand
- 10:55Speaker 1: around it. And I really hope that fans catch that part.
- 10:58Speaker 1: It ain't shunshine pumping. It's just the fact that this
- 11:01Speaker 1: dude has done it like this. He's one of the
- 11:06Speaker 1: guys that. I mean. The Reesa's Senior Bowl has grown
- 11:09Speaker 1: dramatically in the eight years that he's been there. I
- 11:12Speaker 1: only watched it, but when he got the job, when
- 11:14Speaker 1: I heard about, okay, you gotta check it out, and
- 11:16Speaker 1: then I started watching the videos he would post on
- 11:19Speaker 1: social media. Granted, he's actually really good social media. Thing,
- 11:22Speaker 1: Just f why one thing I suck at. One of
- 11:25Speaker 1: these days, I'm gonna get better at social media one day.
- 11:27Speaker 1: I'm gonna try correction one day. I'm gonna try to
- 11:29Speaker 1: be better. I think I can. It's got to try it.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I don't really have that much interest, but I digress.
- 11:35Speaker 1: He's really good at it because you'll see him. He'll
- 11:41Speaker 1: post videos of players, He'll talk about them and their ability,
- 11:46Speaker 1: and it's impressive. When I see him, I'm like, Okay,
- 11:49Speaker 1: now he's not perfect. He's not gonna bat a thousand.
- 11:52Speaker 1: It's impossible about a thousand and in picking a player
- 11:56Speaker 1: that you think would be good. But he's gonna do
- 11:59Speaker 1: a good job. And as a thunder oh you sooner
- 12:02Speaker 1: has pointed out, he'll be really good at evaluating the talent.
- 12:06Speaker 1: That's what's most important. He'll able to evaluate recruits better.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Now the question is gonna be here is Coop. I'm
- 12:15Speaker 1: curious to see how he builds his staff of people
- 12:20Speaker 1: around him that's gonna help with those evaluations when it
- 12:24Speaker 1: comes to the high school level. That's where my questions
- 12:27Speaker 1: come in on Naggie because he's done the college side,
- 12:31Speaker 1: so he's got the college tape, he's watched them at
- 12:33Speaker 1: the second basically the second level, you know, up until
- 12:36Speaker 1: they get to the highest level. He's got them in
- 12:37Speaker 1: that middle level and he's watched them there. How does
- 12:40Speaker 1: his evaluations go at the high school level when talent
- 12:43Speaker 1: is a lot more raw. That's where we're gonna have
- 12:46Speaker 1: our questions.
- 12:48Speaker 2: And and I really really think that, you know, coach
- 12:54Speaker 2: Dent here just just chimed in and.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a very good point.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Coach some yeah, some some great you know, uh, Coach
- 13:00Speaker 2: Dant works with one of the Bowl games too, and
- 13:03Speaker 2: you know, so, uh, the Singer Bowl has kind of
- 13:05Speaker 2: become the Bill Coal or you know, the template. So
- 13:10Speaker 2: but yeah, you're you're gonna have the high school talent
- 13:14Speaker 2: there too. The one thing that I'd be remiss at
- 13:17Speaker 2: saying is also the level of agent that you come
- 13:23Speaker 2: across in the NFL is not nothing that you're gonna
- 13:26Speaker 2: come across with. With some of these high school kids
- 13:28Speaker 2: and some of these transfer portal guys, you're gonna have
- 13:32Speaker 2: less experienced I mean, even if they're in these agencies
- 13:36Speaker 2: and been doing them for a year, year and a
- 13:37Speaker 2: half or whatever, there's gonna be a there's gonna be
- 13:39Speaker 2: a little bit of a I guess a transition and
- 13:43Speaker 2: an adjustment there because some of these people they're not trained,
- 13:47Speaker 2: you know, they're they're literally just you know, they said, Hey,
- 13:51Speaker 2: I think that I can kind of navigate this with
- 13:53Speaker 2: you and help you out a lot. So he's going
- 13:55Speaker 2: to have to be able to, you know, kind of
- 13:57Speaker 2: feel that out. Is do I have an actual legitimate
- 14:00Speaker 2: agent that I'm having a conversation with or do I
- 14:02Speaker 2: have some dude's uncle who decided that you know, he
- 14:05Speaker 2: was going to be the best contact. But yeah, it's
- 14:07Speaker 2: another thing is is I think that you know, the
- 14:10Speaker 2: relationship that he has with with the coaches in college
- 14:13Speaker 2: football from the Senior Bowl. But then also, you know
- 14:16Speaker 2: a lot of these you know, when you're when you're
- 14:18Speaker 2: a high school coach, Like a lot of these high
- 14:20Speaker 2: school coaches will stick in there too and follow the
- 14:23Speaker 2: you know, the careers of some of their kids in college.
- 14:25Speaker 2: And so when they show up to the Senior Bowl
- 14:27Speaker 2: to support you know, a guy that they coached a
- 14:29Speaker 2: couple of years back, guess who was probably there having
- 14:32Speaker 2: conversations with a lot of those coaches. You know, So
- 14:34Speaker 2: he's going to develop that. Plus I think that yeah,
- 14:38Speaker 2: in a business to where I mean, I guess the
- 14:41Speaker 2: entire world is this way, but in a business where
- 14:44Speaker 2: it's it's a lot about who you know to a
- 14:47Speaker 2: lot of these high school coaches are going to want
- 14:49Speaker 2: to know him, yeah, because of his connections and what
- 14:53Speaker 2: he might be able to do. And even if it's
- 14:56Speaker 2: not that, it's they sure, so hell don't want to
- 14:58Speaker 2: get on his bad side and you know, developed against
- 15:01Speaker 2: with them, because the last thing you want is for
- 15:03Speaker 2: him to think ill of you.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Oh, there's so many levels to how this could play
- 15:08Speaker 1: out for the Sooners, and so I don't I'm not.
- 15:11Speaker 1: I have no complaints about it. I said, I thought
- 15:13Speaker 1: it was a Grand Slam higher as well. I mean
- 15:16Speaker 1: I lost my mind when I saw it, dropped a
- 15:17Speaker 1: little video on its the initial reaction, but as I
- 15:20Speaker 1: thought about it more talked about it with John knocked
- 15:23Speaker 1: on Sooners and really diving into with you all. Naggie
- 15:27Speaker 1: has those nationwide connections that's really gonna help. The good
- 15:30Speaker 1: thing is with the coaching staff we have, We've already
- 15:32Speaker 1: got the local connections. I mean we've got connections in California.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I mean we've got recruits in California. We've got the
- 15:36Speaker 1: Texas connection, you know, Arizona, Nevada, you know, Georgia, We've
- 15:41Speaker 1: got them all across Florida. We've got the connections in
- 15:44Speaker 1: that capacity. But he extends that especially with guys that
- 15:50Speaker 1: like the trainers, you know, the people that trained the
- 15:53Speaker 1: players in preparation for drafts, people that prep and helped
- 15:56Speaker 1: with like pro Day's. Yeah, those relationship were probably gonna
- 16:00Speaker 1: be leveraged heavily in order to be able to build
- 16:04Speaker 1: out the roster properly or if anything, find out little
- 16:10Speaker 1: nuggets about players and stuff to determine if it makes
- 16:13Speaker 1: sense to go after him. It's funny. Back in my
- 16:16Speaker 1: former life, when I worked in the minors in minor
- 16:19Speaker 1: league basketball, there was a team that had a staff
- 16:25Speaker 1: member made the owner of the minor league team, which
- 16:29Speaker 1: was an NBA franchise, that a dude whose job was
- 16:33Speaker 1: specifically only to find out drama about guys like that's
- 16:36Speaker 1: literally all he did, and he was that good at
- 16:40Speaker 1: it that of course, one they paid him handsomely, and
- 16:43Speaker 1: two his job was as a quote unquote advanced scout
- 16:47Speaker 1: was finding out if this dude was a knucklehead or not,
- 16:50Speaker 1: and if it made since to draft and put him
- 16:53Speaker 1: in a roster, sign them all of that, which was
- 16:55Speaker 1: always a fascinating concept. But that's what people are like.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Some people have staff members like that that's here to
- 17:08Speaker 1: find all of those nations wide people. And the good
- 17:10Speaker 1: thing about Naggy is he's gonna have all the plugs
- 17:15Speaker 1: and connections about the ins and outs about players and heck,
- 17:20Speaker 1: maybe even coaches. Now I know that for him, it's
- 17:22Speaker 1: mainly rostered roster construction, salary caps, scouting and all of
- 17:31Speaker 1: that stuff. Is really not hiring staff members. As you know,
- 17:37Speaker 1: contrary to the popular belief, he's more the GM of
- 17:39Speaker 1: the roster, less the GM of the coaching staff. That's
- 17:41Speaker 1: still on BV all the way up to joke distickly own.
- 17:45Speaker 1: But I think he'll have some solid input. As you know,
- 17:48Speaker 1: coaches begin to look at opportunities, like I know Javelai
- 17:51Speaker 1: wants to be a defensive coordinator somewhere. I know he
- 17:54Speaker 1: wants to be a d C. I've been hearing those
- 17:56Speaker 1: rumbles for since he got here, right, that was this
- 17:59Speaker 1: the coming here was to help groom him into being
- 18:01Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator. And I know that you know, some
- 18:05Speaker 1: coaches are looking for that, and so at some point
- 18:08Speaker 1: you got to replace jobs, is what it is. That's
- 18:11Speaker 1: the that's the beauty. If you're good enough, then you're
- 18:14Speaker 1: gonna be replacing people to bring in, uh because they
- 18:18Speaker 1: got promotions and stuff. So I like the hire. I'm
- 18:21Speaker 1: happy about it.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Uh. Final thoughts, I mean, no, there's a lot now
- 18:28Speaker 2: from from all I can understand, and so I'll just
- 18:31Speaker 2: for the for the for those of you who are
- 18:33Speaker 2: still not ready for positive thinking yet. Yeah, he he
- 18:38Speaker 2: will not complete one single pass. He will not take
- 18:41Speaker 2: one hand off. H he won't make one tackle. But
- 18:45Speaker 2: what it is is, I mean this like we kind
- 18:47Speaker 2: of covered from the get go, is you know then
- 18:48Speaker 2: when this ends up as the you know, one of
- 18:50Speaker 2: the top letal links on ESPN dot com and you
- 18:54Speaker 2: get this notification from a lot of different different media agencies,
- 18:58Speaker 2: I mean it, this was a big higher. It was
- 19:01Speaker 2: a big higher, and it continues to you know, have
- 19:05Speaker 2: evolving and uh ever changing you know atmosphere around ni
- 19:10Speaker 2: L and paying the players and so it's it's it's
- 19:14Speaker 2: it's one to where I mean, I think that we
- 19:16Speaker 2: are kind of leader in the clubhouse with UH with
- 19:18Speaker 2: the GM higher YEP.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Obviously done something right if you're the headline on every
- 19:24Speaker 1: single side, like I said on y'ahoo, I said on
- 19:26Speaker 1: Fox Sports, on ESPN, Ryos, Otle, CBS, every single major
- 19:32Speaker 1: sports news outlet, the main story was Naggy leaving the
- 19:37Speaker 1: Resists Senior Bowl to go to come to Oklahoma. And
- 19:41Speaker 1: it's funny I was listening to the Oklahoma Breakdown, go
- 19:43Speaker 1: check him out. Gabe and Teddy talked about it extensively,
- 19:46Speaker 1: and Gabe talked about how he was you know, he
- 19:50Speaker 1: talked to Naggy before Naggy Nev didn't confirm nor deny,
- 19:53Speaker 1: but he was just like, hey, you should, We would
- 19:56Speaker 1: love to have you.
- 19:58Speaker 2: He was my first pick and and uh and then
- 20:01Speaker 2: when he read it, he I guess he went back after.
- 20:04Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's a good listen to the listing
- 20:07Speaker 2: in the weeds. Uh, in the Weeds one is the
- 20:09Speaker 2: one where they really break down a lot of that stuff.
- 20:11Speaker 2: So but it's good. You know, like I said, we've
- 20:14Speaker 2: we've had the big transition, you know from Curtis Lofton
- 20:18Speaker 2: coming in and you know, being the first person to
- 20:21Speaker 2: uh to this and so it's it's you know again
- 20:23Speaker 2: next year there will be a lot of difference. You know,
- 20:26Speaker 2: he's had the experience in the NFL. He's been there.
- 20:29Speaker 2: If you know, somebody wants to come get him, that
- 20:32Speaker 2: means he's been doing a good job here and they're
- 20:35Speaker 2: gonna have to pay a good amount of money because
- 20:37Speaker 2: I think that, uh, you know, this is his way
- 20:39Speaker 2: to kind of leave a new mark and to really
- 20:42Speaker 2: take it, you know, to a to a different.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Level exactly exactly. All right, let's talk combine. First, got
- 20:49Speaker 1: to pay some bills dropped his dad. Real quick shout

- 21:45Speaker 1: promo code, you two one fifty bet us. Where the
- 21:47Speaker 1: game begins, Time to start talking a little bit about combine.
- 21:56Speaker 1: You saw the combine numbers? Cool. Let me ask you
- 22:00Speaker 1: this first. We know SCHMIDI did some work and we
- 22:06Speaker 1: saw I think, uh, there was a uh there's a
- 22:10Speaker 1: leader from Oklahoma that in the bench that we we
- 22:13Speaker 1: We're like, wow, for realness, we'll be doing. But who
- 22:16Speaker 1: jumped out to you the most out of our guys
- 22:20Speaker 1: there at the combine?
- 22:24Speaker 2: You know, I would say with three guys and you
- 22:27Speaker 2: know we can get into that, you know if you
- 22:29Speaker 2: want to. But with your three kind of headline leaders,
- 22:34Speaker 2: you know from this past year. They made big, big
- 22:36Speaker 2: news last year coming in uh and saying, hey, we're
- 22:39Speaker 2: sticking around for one more year. Let's run this thing back.
- 22:43Speaker 2: You know, you expect, you expected, uh, you know some
- 22:47Speaker 2: some some good some good numbers. The thing that was
- 22:50Speaker 2: most surprising to me with Stutsman's running, you know that
- 22:54Speaker 2: that was pretty good. I mean, was he he the
- 22:56Speaker 2: third fastest? Oh, there you go. You know he's the
- 23:00Speaker 2: third fastest. And uh, you know again there's a lot
- 23:03Speaker 2: of the straight line speed questions around Stutsman. Uh he
- 23:07Speaker 2: ran faster than Ollie Gordon. Uh So if you saw that,
- 23:10Speaker 2: I think Alid ran like a four to six there's that,
- 23:17Speaker 2: but uh, you know this is a this was a
- 23:19Speaker 2: pretty good deal. You know, I think all three of
- 23:21Speaker 2: the guys made themselves some money. Uh. The narrative around
- 23:25Speaker 2: Billy Bowman, the athleticism is there, and he's he's a
- 23:29Speaker 2: he's a ballhawk and a great center fielder. The knock
- 23:32Speaker 2: was going to be, you know, the speed. Uh, does
- 23:34Speaker 2: he have an actual you know, decent speed and he
- 23:37Speaker 2: had he had good speed too, but he showed you know,
- 23:40Speaker 2: amazing uh, you know, change direction in his hips in
- 23:43Speaker 2: some of the combine drills. So you know, he did
- 23:47Speaker 2: himself a good time too.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Yeah, let's start here with Stutsman though, as you pointed out,
- 23:51Speaker 1: him out doing Ali Cordon. Uh, but that probably wasn't
- 23:56Speaker 1: a good run for Ali. I bet you he does
- 23:57Speaker 1: a really good one at the Proa, which is why
- 24:00Speaker 1: some people didn't really participate in a lot of other stuff.
- 24:02Speaker 1: But stuff's been running a four five to two. That
- 24:06Speaker 1: put a big smile on my face. I was hoping
- 24:11Speaker 1: that he would give us something that good. That's that's
- 24:19Speaker 1: amazing work by him, period. Like I can't even I
- 24:24Speaker 1: don't know what to say, Like I was like, dang,
- 24:26Speaker 1: four five two that's pretty darn good man. That's it's
- 24:32Speaker 1: pretty good. And then of course his his his ten
- 24:34Speaker 1: yard split at one five five, This to me made
- 24:39Speaker 1: that man some money like that may actually move him
- 24:42Speaker 1: up in a draft because, like, the big thing with
- 24:48Speaker 1: him was a lot of people were wondering just how
- 24:51Speaker 1: fast he really was, if he'd be able to do it,
- 24:54Speaker 1: and he gave you that. We knew he was strong,
- 24:59Speaker 1: we know he's a good day down heel run stopper.
- 25:02Speaker 1: The question was his capabilities of keeping up with people
- 25:05Speaker 1: in the flats and all of that. Those numbers to me,
- 25:12Speaker 1: big next one.
- 25:13Speaker 2: No, you're right, And before you move on, I do
- 25:17Speaker 2: want to say this is that linebacker class is not
- 25:20Speaker 2: a great class. So I think that what this really
- 25:23Speaker 2: did for Stutsman was you've got a guy who I
- 25:27Speaker 2: think a lot of teams probably had him slated in
- 25:29Speaker 2: a certain area that's probably into the third, fourth round
- 25:32Speaker 2: type of thing. And then you see some of these
- 25:34Speaker 2: numbers and you go, you know, if this is this
- 25:39Speaker 2: is one that gets him slid into somewhere a little
- 25:41Speaker 2: bit higher than he's probably was going to go. So
- 25:46Speaker 2: you know, Danny Stutsman is man, He is just what
- 25:52Speaker 2: he meant to this university is crazy. And so to
- 25:54Speaker 2: see this, which was was good because I was a
- 25:57Speaker 2: little nervous that, you know, maybe some of the numbers
- 25:59Speaker 2: weren't going to be there, and you know, it's it's
- 26:02Speaker 2: that's kind of the end of the billity of the
- 26:04Speaker 2: Danny Sussman legacy. But you know, faith in my faith
- 26:07Speaker 2: in my guy. He is. He made himself some money.
- 26:11Speaker 1: He did, he did, and then from there talked about Billy.
- 26:14Speaker 1: We'll talk about Ethan first, though. I think Downs has
- 26:17Speaker 1: definitely jumped, very much jumped in the draft, like he
- 26:23Speaker 1: definitely made himself some money. Thirty two on the bench reps,
- 26:27Speaker 1: if I'm correct, that was tops, that's tops on the
- 26:30Speaker 1: defensive line. And I remember seeing his score was like
- 26:38Speaker 1: his like overall score. I think it's like I can't
- 26:41Speaker 1: think of the name of it off the top of
- 26:42Speaker 1: my head right now, but he's ranked his score wise
- 26:46Speaker 1: as far as like I was, measurables and everything. He's
- 26:49Speaker 1: top one hundred of all defensive edges drafted in the
- 26:57Speaker 1: last twenty five years, actually thirty years. Things like eighty
- 27:04Speaker 1: seven is when they started really the calculations on it.
- 27:07Speaker 1: And when I saw it I'm like, that's there's no way,
- 27:11Speaker 1: There's absolutely no way.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I am so impressed.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Sure it is. Let me pull this up there you go, yeah, yeah,
- 27:20Speaker 1: his numbers are yeah, it was. Let me see if
- 27:26Speaker 1: I can pull the actual number piece up. It says
- 27:28Speaker 1: that he was ranked ninety third out of a one
- 27:31Speaker 1: thy eight hundred and two defensive ends from ninety seven
- 27:35Speaker 1: to twenty twenty five. That's not bad, not bad at all,
- 27:41Speaker 1: not bad at all. The relative athletics score, that's a
- 27:45Speaker 1: pretty darn good score. Now, I gottadudes go out there
- 27:47Speaker 1: and uh just compete.
- 27:50Speaker 2: And that's what he does. You know. It's it seemed
- 27:54Speaker 2: like Ethan only made flashy plays when you need momentum shift,
- 27:59Speaker 2: you know from somebody, and when it was a high
- 28:01Speaker 2: stakes game. And that's kind of when he you know,
- 28:04Speaker 2: had had one of those moments where he popped. You know,
- 28:07Speaker 2: you're always going to have him standing over Quinn, you
- 28:11Speaker 2: know as as one of the uh you know, iconic
- 28:13Speaker 2: moments that that that he showed. And so I got
- 28:17Speaker 2: you know, you had to feel that this guy gets
- 28:19Speaker 2: on a roster and he's just one of those guys
- 28:22Speaker 2: that you ask him to do pretty much anything. I'm
- 28:24Speaker 2: pretty sure that at some point if somebody walked over
- 28:26Speaker 2: him and said, Ethan, how would you like to play
- 28:28Speaker 2: a little goal line full back? And he would be like, yep,
- 28:31Speaker 2: let's do it.
- 28:32Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 28:32Speaker 2: And also, you know, I think he's probably also going
- 28:35Speaker 2: to be a guy that's going to play on some
- 28:37Speaker 2: special teams, you know, early in the career. And how
- 28:41Speaker 2: would you like to see big o' Ethan downs coming
- 28:44Speaker 2: down to tackle you after you, you know, weren't sure
- 28:46Speaker 2: if you wanted to take the kickoff. So yeah, it's
- 28:50Speaker 2: he did himself some good right there, and that just
- 28:53Speaker 2: shows that he does belong in the NFL.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Let's talk about this though. This dude's forty times was
- 28:59Speaker 1: a four to seven. He's two hundred and sixty nine pounds.
- 29:05Speaker 1: That's kind of scary for someone that big to be
- 29:10Speaker 1: running at you full speed him that that that's terrifying.
- 29:15Speaker 1: And he can do that and he comes he it's
- 29:18Speaker 1: i mean his ten yards split at one that six
- 29:22Speaker 1: y two means that in a ten yard run he
- 29:24Speaker 1: has the first split. He he accelerates pretty well, which
- 29:28Speaker 1: is at the high range. Yeah, that's terrifying to have
- 29:34Speaker 1: a dude that big run that fast. That was what
- 29:40Speaker 1: jumped out to me about that number. And then he
- 29:43Speaker 1: comes in and he leads all defensive linemen Similariziah Codd
- 29:47Speaker 1: in the bench press. That just tells you what Schmidty's building.
- 29:51Speaker 1: That's Schmitty built right there.
- 29:54Speaker 2: And like I said, this is you mentioned the speed.
- 29:58Speaker 2: You know, early in his career, he's probably like gonna
- 30:00Speaker 2: he's probably gonna be playing some special teams and that's
- 30:03Speaker 2: gonna be the only time that he'll get to use
- 30:04Speaker 2: that speed. But that quickness, the strength, you know, he's
- 30:08Speaker 2: just that's somebody you're gonna want to get in. And
- 30:11Speaker 2: once he just thinks football and that's it. You know,
- 30:14Speaker 2: he's gonna be one of those guys who just kind
- 30:16Speaker 2: of sticks around and you just hear his name every
- 30:19Speaker 2: year as you know a player that's a that's a
- 30:22Speaker 2: sooner that is on another active roster spot.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Yep. And then of course you gotta talk about Billy Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy,
- 30:31Speaker 1: Billy Billy four four to two one five two split
- 30:36Speaker 1: thirty five inch vertical in a ten foot three broad joke.
- 30:44Speaker 1: I think the big thing with Billy is not only
- 30:47Speaker 1: is that number. You know, the forty was kind of
- 30:50Speaker 1: what I expected out of him, being as the normal
- 30:53Speaker 1: insaneness about him as a ball hawk. But that Luther
- 30:59Speaker 1: Bird and play against Missouri, it's probably the one play
- 31:04Speaker 1: that I hear a ton of scouts and draft analysts
- 31:13Speaker 1: talk about the most. All of them still rave about
- 31:17Speaker 1: that play, like that's just ridiculous that he did that,
- 31:24Speaker 1: Like he cut that right angle and then he then
- 31:28Speaker 1: he clocked the dude. That is like the one everybody's like, yeah,
- 31:34Speaker 1: Billy somebody. And he looked good.
- 31:38Speaker 2: You know, and you know, you go to the film
- 31:40Speaker 2: and it shows that he can play around the line
- 31:43Speaker 2: of scrimmage. Also, you know, if he plays, he's going
- 31:46Speaker 2: to probably be uh, he's probably going to have some
- 31:50Speaker 2: you know early in the career to where he comes
- 31:52Speaker 2: on and maybe is a you know, a third safety
- 31:55Speaker 2: or a nickelback type of a situation. I think that's
- 31:57Speaker 2: gonna be wic is really going to see and he
- 32:02Speaker 2: could turn into one of those guys who just in
- 32:05Speaker 2: the NFL is somebody that is uh. You know, it
- 32:07Speaker 2: is a pain in the butt for you to throw out.
- 32:09Speaker 2: You know, you're a slot receiver and you know he's
- 32:12Speaker 2: gonna fight through blocks and you know again you turn
- 32:14Speaker 2: it to where he's doing football only, and you know
- 32:19Speaker 2: who knows what he can turn into.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Yep, there's a one name that I kept hearing that
- 32:30Speaker 1: he probably he's got he could end up being that
- 32:33Speaker 1: the comparisons have come out for and if he does it,
- 32:40Speaker 1: hell yeah, I'm here for it. Antoine Whitfield Jr. M
- 32:44Speaker 1: HM Safety Tampa Bay. That is who they believe Billy
- 32:52Speaker 1: Bowman could be, and I I think he has the
- 32:59Speaker 1: gay abilities of being him. Winfield was ran the secondary
- 33:08Speaker 1: for Tampa Bay and he was one player I missed
- 33:13Speaker 1: when he got hurt for my bucks. And if we
- 33:18Speaker 1: if Billy turns out to be that, yeah, that's huge.
- 33:21Speaker 1: A's gonna gets some nice contract, So give me some.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Give me some of that because Winfield's what five he's listened,
- 33:29Speaker 1: it's five nine two oh three. Yeah, that's a fair number.
- 33:36Speaker 1: And if Billy can end up top sixty in the draft,
- 33:38Speaker 1: which I think he can actually end up as a
- 33:40Speaker 1: Day two guy after that performance, yeah, we you know,
- 33:45Speaker 1: were cooking and that's what you need. Oklahoma needs more
- 33:48Speaker 1: of these guys drafted like this. Keep the consistency going.
- 33:52Speaker 1: We keep the consistency going. It'll continue to attract the
- 34:00Speaker 1: to attract the talent, which we've done well on. Now
- 34:04Speaker 1: we just need to get figure out how to get
- 34:05Speaker 1: stestiment to slide to the first round to make it
- 34:07Speaker 1: three years in a row.
- 34:07Speaker 2: That w'd be awesome, Well it's you know, all it
- 34:12Speaker 2: does is take one team. But uh, you know, I
- 34:15Speaker 2: I feel like this draft is, this draft is going
- 34:20Speaker 2: to be it's gonna be odd, and I think that's
- 34:22Speaker 2: gonna be tough to kind of pick. You know, there's
- 34:24Speaker 2: thirty some odd running backs in this draft that that
- 34:27Speaker 2: you know are are seen as you know, draftable. You've
- 34:30Speaker 2: got a pretty weak quarterback class. Just there's there's not
- 34:35Speaker 2: really the you know, the uh I guess the the
- 34:40Speaker 2: generational type of a guy. You know, there's no Caleb
- 34:43Speaker 2: Williams in here this draft. You know, they're trying to
- 34:47Speaker 2: figure out who's the number three guy. And you know,
- 34:50Speaker 2: I don't know what the stats are around quarterbacks getting
- 34:52Speaker 2: drafted in the first round, but you know, it's there's
- 34:54Speaker 2: always one that you know slides in that you're like, oh,
- 34:57Speaker 2: that's not gonna not gonna go like they expect. But
- 35:01Speaker 2: you know, I feel this way is Danny if somebody
- 35:05Speaker 2: fell in love with him. There's a chance, I think
- 35:08Speaker 2: with some of those numbers. But again, I would be
- 35:10Speaker 2: pretty happy if he, you know, landed the top sixty.
- 35:15Speaker 1: Question is what do you think he ends up.
- 35:20Speaker 2: I don't know. The draft needs well enough to to
- 35:23Speaker 2: do that. You know, I feel that maybe you know,
- 35:27Speaker 2: he's probably going to go somewhere to where you're you're needing,
- 35:32Speaker 2: you know, to move on from an older, older linebacker,
- 35:35Speaker 2: or maybe you're you're replacing and you can bring in
- 35:38Speaker 2: somebody from free agency who's, you know, maybe gonna give
- 35:41Speaker 2: you eight games and then you know, kind of get
- 35:43Speaker 2: Danny ready that type of situation. You know, hopefully he
- 35:47Speaker 2: gets to go to a team that has, you know,
- 35:50Speaker 2: a need for a linebacker and is going to be
- 35:52Speaker 2: making a playoff push. So I have no clue where
- 35:55Speaker 2: he ends up, but he reminds me of you know,
- 35:59Speaker 2: your your your old school. And we talked about these
- 36:02Speaker 2: two teams earlier. But a Seahawks or a Patriots or
- 36:06Speaker 2: a Panthers type of.
- 36:07Speaker 1: A line Andy Katz and Moarrier type. Yeah, that's that's
- 36:11Speaker 1: a name.
- 36:12Speaker 2: He's not he's not as fast as Keighley, but you
- 36:16Speaker 2: know he's still kind of that instinctive, that instinctive. I
- 36:20Speaker 2: think the Keikley had Thomas Dafis, you know, on the
- 36:22Speaker 2: other side of him, who was the more athletic guy.
- 36:25Speaker 2: So that was always a you know, a great pairing
- 36:27Speaker 2: of linebackers. So hopefully he just goes somewhere where they've
- 36:30Speaker 2: got it. You know, they've got a little bit of
- 36:31Speaker 2: a freak on, you know, standing next to him.
- 36:38Speaker 1: I'm hoping he ends up. Look, I just want to
- 36:40Speaker 1: get more people in my Buccaneers and we can use
- 36:42Speaker 1: another linebacker. Came Can we just go find a way
- 36:44Speaker 1: to get touched me? Just just I need my Buccaneers
- 36:46Speaker 1: to load up on some more sooners. Keep keep that
- 36:48Speaker 1: going because Baker seems to perform well with that, and
- 36:54Speaker 1: our defense was so bad last year. We just need
- 36:55Speaker 1: some We need some young young bloods.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Pretty terrible, pretty terrible.
- 36:59Speaker 1: It was. It was pretty awful. It was pretty awful.
- 37:02Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes. Drafts gonna be fun.
- 37:06Speaker 1: But let's talk spring game. Shout out to our partners
- 37:11Speaker 1: over there. I bet us they will hook you up
- 37:13Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty percent bonus from the first deposit

- 37:22Speaker 1: Wednesday that the press conference is gonna go down coach players,
- 37:30Speaker 1: and you'll have like all of the beats, writers and
- 37:32Speaker 1: everything there getting their interviews in. I have no way
- 37:36Speaker 1: of going down there for it. Unfortunately, my day job,
- 37:39Speaker 1: I'm gonna be busy on Wednesday, so I won't be
- 37:41Speaker 1: able to skip away. But it's gonna be some good stuff.
- 37:46Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you Coop first before we do that. Ben,
- 37:49Speaker 1: appreciate you always being in the comments talking noise, but
- 37:54Speaker 1: also you know, being fair and having fun. Ten dollars,
- 37:58Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Speaking of the draft, before we
- 38:00Speaker 1: jump to the next one, who goes number one and
- 38:02Speaker 1: will Quinn succeed for that team? Look funny? No, I
- 38:07Speaker 1: don't think, of course I don't. I don't see Quinn
- 38:11Speaker 1: going number one, which I appreciate that the funness of
- 38:15Speaker 1: the joke. I know Ben doesn't believe it either, but
- 38:18Speaker 1: I don't think I think Quinn will be if Quinn
- 38:21Speaker 1: goes to the right team. Here's the thing I've always
- 38:23Speaker 1: thought about quarterbacks in the NFL. It's a combination of
- 38:28Speaker 1: their talent and the coaches around them. The coach is
- 38:31Speaker 1: gonna make them successful. The greats in the NFL will
- 38:35Speaker 1: still be successful regardless of how garbage the coaching staff is,
- 38:42Speaker 1: and they'll still be able to ascend. But at the
- 38:44Speaker 1: same time, they don't mean to gona win games. It
- 38:46Speaker 1: just means that they'll still be able to overcome terribleness
- 38:50Speaker 1: at coaching. Then you've also got those that are really
- 38:54Speaker 1: good coaches, like a Kyle Shanahan a Sean McVay, who
- 38:58Speaker 1: take any quarterback and make anything happens as long as
- 39:00Speaker 1: the quarterback follows their rules. And I do think that
- 39:05Speaker 1: Quinn can add lib enough to be better than some
- 39:11Speaker 1: quarterbacks who are built to follow scripts specifically, like a
- 39:15Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo or something, but it's gonna be determined by
- 39:21Speaker 1: who's coaching him and how much he works, like I
- 39:24Speaker 1: think Josh Allen's probably well. Josh Allen is the first
- 39:27Speaker 1: player in NFL history to humble himself enough enough to
- 39:32Speaker 1: realize that he sucked, that he needed to change his
- 39:35Speaker 1: passing motion in his thought process, and he completely changed
- 39:38Speaker 1: from the first two years of his career. The first
- 39:40Speaker 1: two years of his career, he's given the ball away.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Second the after that, you saw a dramatic change in
- 39:46Speaker 1: his just what he does now. He that has a tendency.
- 39:49Speaker 1: He's trying to get the ball away, but he looks
- 39:53Speaker 1: like he's under control. Most players can't do that. Most
- 39:55Speaker 1: players can't humble themself to realize, you know what I am,
- 39:59Speaker 1: boo boo, I probably need to change the way of
- 40:02Speaker 1: not doing stuff. It's so rare to find players like that.
- 40:05Speaker 1: That's why always coming to Josh Allen because he did that. Coop.
- 40:07Speaker 1: What do you think about Quinn? Do you think Quinn
- 40:09Speaker 1: can succeed in the NFL?
- 40:11Speaker 2: No, I think the d tackle for Penn State is
- 40:15Speaker 2: it Carter? A duel Carter. I think he's Carter.
- 40:18Speaker 1: Yeah, even with the knee injury or ankle injury or
- 40:20Speaker 1: whatever egg injury he got.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think he still goes number one. But
- 40:25Speaker 2: here's what Quinn Quinn has the chance of being. I
- 40:30Speaker 2: think Quinn's ceiling is a oh goodness, gracious, and now
- 40:35Speaker 2: I'm forgetting the kid's name. He played wide receiver at
- 40:38Speaker 2: A and M and then switched.
- 40:40Speaker 1: To Bryan Tannehill.
- 40:41Speaker 2: Tannehill, I think that's actually not a.
- 40:44Speaker 1: Bad uh that's that's a decent comp Tanny Hill is huge,
- 40:47Speaker 1: but I I that's actually that wouldn't be a bad career.
- 40:51Speaker 2: He's a you know, that's that's I think his ceiling,
- 40:54Speaker 2: where I think he's most likely slated is probably something
- 40:58Speaker 2: like a Mason Rudolph. You know, he's going to be
- 41:00Speaker 2: a guy who chased Daniel Mason Rudolph. You know, a
- 41:05Speaker 2: guy who gets on a you know, is always going
- 41:07Speaker 2: to be on a roster, you know, because he does
- 41:09Speaker 2: have the arm talent. I think that Quinn needs to
- 41:13Speaker 2: have weapons around him. So wherever he goes, Quinn might
- 41:17Speaker 2: be a guy who if if you maybe should be
- 41:22Speaker 2: starting to think about a quarterback, you've got a guy
- 41:24Speaker 2: who is you know, maybe three four years away from
- 41:28Speaker 2: being being being done. You know, maybe Quinn's a guy
- 41:31Speaker 2: that you can bring on and you just slowly, you know,
- 41:33Speaker 2: kind of bring up to speed. Maybe he's a guy
- 41:37Speaker 2: who if you don't have a backup and you've got
- 41:38Speaker 2: a younger quarterback, maybe he's somebody that you can you know,
- 41:41Speaker 2: kind of test the waters with the draft and you know,
- 41:44Speaker 2: the third fourth round and see what's uh, you know,
- 41:47Speaker 2: see what's going to happen. There. But you know, I
- 41:51Speaker 2: think that Quinn would need to need to go to
- 41:52Speaker 2: a place that he's got a good amount of, you know,
- 41:55Speaker 2: a decent offensive line, maybe running game and some or
- 41:59Speaker 2: some good.
- 42:01Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I agree with you there. I don't think
- 42:04Speaker 1: he'll get the Vince Young drafted in the top five.
- 42:10Speaker 1: But honestly, I mean, if he has up being Chased Daniels,
- 42:12Speaker 1: that's a pretty darn good career. Like I don't think
- 42:15Speaker 1: people understand a lot of money, make a lot of
- 42:17Speaker 1: money being a backup quarterback and just being consistently available
- 42:21Speaker 1: and still studying football, get yourself better, prepare for coaching. Yeah,
- 42:26Speaker 1: give me that job. If I could just study football
- 42:28Speaker 1: for a living and never really get hit, probably would
- 42:32Speaker 1: do that in a heartbeat. So Chase Daniels was probably
- 42:36Speaker 1: a good comp form. He probably could be a career
- 42:38Speaker 1: back up at that comes in and does some stuff.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Maybe Nick Foles maybe, oh, something like that. I could
- 42:46Speaker 1: totally see that, But I don't think he'd be I
- 42:48Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be horrible in the NFL. I
- 42:49Speaker 1: think I think he's smart enough or humbled enough to
- 42:52Speaker 1: where he'll go in there and he'll actually try to
- 42:57Speaker 1: improve on the things that held him back. I but
- 43:00Speaker 1: I will say, like Tannehill, I don't think he can
- 43:05Speaker 1: win you enough games to go far enough. The team
- 43:09Speaker 1: around him is going to be what matters the most.
- 43:12Speaker 2: So yeah, and and I think another thing for Quinn
- 43:15Speaker 2: is I think that most guys like him who you know,
- 43:20Speaker 2: he was one of the first big nil guys. You know,
- 43:23Speaker 2: he had the hoopla around himself by you know, skipping
- 43:27Speaker 2: the year, enrolling early reclassifying, going to Aha State, having
- 43:30Speaker 2: you know, a million SAMD dollar deal before he ever
- 43:33Speaker 2: even arrived on campus, and then you know, he went
- 43:35Speaker 2: to Texas, he staved off you know, the arch banning stuff,
- 43:38Speaker 2: you know, this entire year. I would say that, I
- 43:43Speaker 2: would say, usually a guy like that would not have
- 43:46Speaker 2: the mentality to go to a place and learn to
- 43:49Speaker 2: kind of do what you were saying is, you know,
- 43:51Speaker 2: reinvent and really establish who you are. And I think
- 43:55Speaker 2: he does have the mentality to do it. So he's
- 43:58Speaker 2: a good kid. So you know, I wish him the best.
- 44:01Speaker 1: Same, same same, I'm pretty pretty excited to see honestly,
- 44:05Speaker 1: and before we jump in the spring ball, I'm excited
- 44:08Speaker 1: about our pro day. I think we've got some players
- 44:11Speaker 1: that's gonna have an opportunity to really get some of
- 44:15Speaker 1: the scouts attention. Like you know Co you know, with
- 44:18Speaker 1: the bench press was ridiculous. You had let me see
- 44:26Speaker 1: who else showed out in that, like he had a
- 44:28Speaker 1: few people. But I think that this year with Dave,
- 44:32Speaker 1: Jon Terry and Caden Woolerd trace Ford, I think a
- 44:38Speaker 1: lot of those guys are really gonna be able to
- 44:40Speaker 1: get a chance to show out at pro Day and
- 44:46Speaker 1: really get some attention. Michael Tarkin should have an opportunity
- 44:49Speaker 1: to do the same since we really didn't have any
- 44:53Speaker 1: we didn't have very many older offensive linemen that's been
- 44:56Speaker 1: under you know, Bill Beaten both for more than a year.
- 44:59Speaker 1: So there's gonna be some guys that's gonna get a
- 45:01Speaker 1: chance to really show what Smitty and Schmitty and so
- 45:03Speaker 1: how much work they've done with Schmitty Pro Day. I'm
- 45:06Speaker 1: pretty excited talking about So all right, spring Baul the homie.
- 45:10Speaker 1: Ben asked the question, and I think I like, I
- 45:13Speaker 1: like this question a lot. I'm gonna pull this up
- 45:16Speaker 1: real quick. It was right before he tossed us the
- 45:20Speaker 1: ten bucks, so Ben, we appreciate that. But he asked
- 45:25Speaker 1: this question. What's the word on matear Believe me when
- 45:32Speaker 1: I say the words coming out is that a dude's good.
- 45:41Speaker 1: The rumors coming out is he's a leader and players
- 45:52Speaker 1: are gravitating to him. Also hearing that Michael Hawkins is
- 45:55Speaker 1: looking better after his cleanup surgery and he's out there
- 45:58Speaker 1: doing some stuff too. Put it this way, the difference
- 46:05Speaker 1: in reports I heard between the last quarterback and Tier
- 46:12Speaker 1: complete night and day. Yeah, like I heard that the
- 46:17Speaker 1: defense was giving like jacksonrtle Hill, but at the same
- 46:22Speaker 1: time true you know, you know, he was a true sophomore,
- 46:26Speaker 1: still figuring it out, expected tears a little different.
- 46:31Speaker 2: Now.
- 46:31Speaker 1: I'm ready to see what spring practice looks like when
- 46:33Speaker 1: he's going up against his talent. If he's gonna be
- 46:36Speaker 1: out there really you know, if he if he can,
- 46:39Speaker 1: if he can slice and dice, That's gonna be the question.
- 46:43Speaker 1: If anything, but in workouts and passes and training with
- 46:46Speaker 1: the wide receivers coupe, everything that I'm hearing about Geometerier
- 46:49Speaker 1: is nothing but positive. Everyone loves that. Everyone likes that dude.
- 46:53Speaker 1: They're like, he has a different energy when he walks
- 46:55Speaker 1: in and you can tell that he that people gravitate
- 46:58Speaker 1: to him, and that's what you want.
- 47:02Speaker 2: He's a guy that just he knows that his play
- 47:05Speaker 2: defines him. You know, he wasn't extremely heralded, and so
- 47:10Speaker 2: it's a I got to show up. He listen. He
- 47:13Speaker 2: he's got social media too, and I promise you he's read. Yeah,
- 47:17Speaker 2: but he can't he do it in the sec He
- 47:18Speaker 2: did it, you know, out in the Mountain West or whatever,
- 47:20Speaker 2: and it was crap and you know all that stuff.
- 47:25Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be it's going to be.
- 47:28Speaker 2: It's going to be a ship on the shoulder situation
- 47:30Speaker 2: from a tier too. And you know he's going to
- 47:33Speaker 2: have this spring. I will say this, if we end
- 47:38Speaker 2: up having a spring game, which you know we can
- 47:40Speaker 2: chat about that too, having if we end up having
- 47:44Speaker 2: a spring game, you're not going to see a lot
- 47:47Speaker 2: from anything. That's just that's just it. We've gone from
- 47:52Speaker 2: I don't want people to know what kind of schemes
- 47:53Speaker 2: we're running to I don't want people poaching our you know, backups,
- 47:58Speaker 2: our depth. And and so you see a kid who
- 48:03Speaker 2: looks really good, you know what he was, you know,
- 48:05Speaker 2: coming out of high school, and you know you see
- 48:08Speaker 2: him running in second or third, well, guess what, somebody's
- 48:12Speaker 2: going to have, you know, a reach out moment with him.
- 48:14Speaker 2: And not to say that folks would Tampa or anything,
- 48:16Speaker 2: but that's going to happen. We have played Michigan week two,
- 48:20Speaker 2: so just always watch out for that too.
- 48:22Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe out there working, but.
- 48:28Speaker 2: He is going to come out and he is going
- 48:30Speaker 2: to you know, he knows this offense. He's educating and
- 48:33Speaker 2: coaching just as much as our buckles, you know, can
- 48:37Speaker 2: whenever he can. But that's going to be it this Uh,
- 48:43Speaker 2: the bullets start flying, you know. In the spring practices though,
- 48:46Speaker 2: that's going to be a little bit different because this
- 48:48Speaker 2: defense also wants to you know, establish that they are
- 48:51Speaker 2: who they are and so they're not going to welcome
- 48:54Speaker 2: in John Mattier and say, hey, go ahead and carve
- 48:57Speaker 2: us up. We we want you to feel good about yourself.
- 48:59Speaker 2: There gonna try to They're gonna try to, you know,
- 49:02Speaker 2: shut him down.
- 49:03Speaker 1: To Oh yeah, they're gonna throw. They're gonna throw the
- 49:05Speaker 1: kitchen sing kunt, which I want especially if with with
- 49:11Speaker 1: with what we've seen him be able to do. I mean,
- 49:14Speaker 1: he won the Apple Cup against Washington, who you know
- 49:17Speaker 1: plays in the Big ten and who had some pretty
- 49:19Speaker 1: big wins last season. I mean, did they beat Michigan?
- 49:20Speaker 1: I just want to beat Michigan and USC they had
- 49:23Speaker 1: they had some pretty big wins last year. Uh let
- 49:29Speaker 1: me see, let me see what their schedule looked like
- 49:33Speaker 1: last year. I could have sworn they won some games
- 49:35Speaker 1: that you're just like, oh no, see that's the women's basketball.
- 49:39Speaker 1: I want football.
- 49:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Washington wasn't you know, National Championship game,
- 49:45Speaker 2: you know, good last year. But they were, I mean
- 49:49Speaker 2: they were still solid Big ten team.
- 49:51Speaker 1: Yeah they were. They were holly. Yeah, they beat Michigan,
- 49:54Speaker 1: they beat uh USC at the crib. They lose Washington.
- 50:00Speaker 1: The state of material in them. The b U c
- 50:02Speaker 1: l A was. It was first year for Jedfish, but
- 50:05Speaker 1: he figured some stuff out, so I think it's gonna
- 50:07Speaker 1: be I think that he'll be fine over here. We've
- 50:15Speaker 1: seen people transfer in from like the Big Twelve and
- 50:17Speaker 1: other conferences and show up and show out like it's
- 50:20Speaker 1: not pretend like this has never been done in the SEC.
- 50:23Speaker 1: I mean, snap, Jackson dark three years really good and
- 50:27Speaker 1: he was not very good at USC. He just happens.
- 50:29Speaker 1: But Materier put up numbers. We should be able to
- 50:31Speaker 1: see that, So I'm wait, I can't wait to see
- 50:34Speaker 1: him too, Like, I'm pretty excited to see that, Mike.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Good to see that you're healthy again. I know you
- 50:39Speaker 1: even fighting the cooties. Like a lot of us. H
- 50:42Speaker 1: question is around the old line. How's the old line
- 50:45Speaker 1: gonna look this year? So I've been working on a
- 50:50Speaker 1: depth chart, and of course, you know, we'll probably talk
- 50:55Speaker 1: deeper into that once spring practice has hit. But when
- 50:58Speaker 1: I'm looking at like returning productive and the depth chart,
- 51:04Speaker 1: I think that the offensive line will be fine this year,
- 51:10Speaker 1: mainly because we're bringing back actual production, something that we
- 51:16Speaker 1: have not done. We did do last year. Last year,
- 51:20Speaker 1: most of your offensive line was young. Besides Troy Everett,
- 51:23Speaker 1: you brought in a transfer for Beachi Weebu, who was
- 51:25Speaker 1: also young. And you're playing Jake Sexon who came off
- 51:29Speaker 1: a couple of injuries. Taylor hadn't started, Logan Holland hadn't
- 51:33Speaker 1: really played. He Thos that I hadn't really played. So
- 51:36Speaker 1: you're playing a whole bunch of dudes and it ain't
- 51:37Speaker 1: really played. The only thing you really have was Gary
- 51:39Speaker 1: Hatchett and Troy Everett and Branson Hickman. Hickman comes in
- 51:43Speaker 1: he gets hurt, you go through and then Gary Hatchet
- 51:46Speaker 1: has to play center. So as I'm going through the
- 51:48Speaker 1: line of everything, you dealt with a ton of injuries. Yeah.
- 51:53Speaker 1: Now now in that case, a lot of those dudes
- 51:59Speaker 1: are back. I think Wabo was gonna be a hell
- 52:02Speaker 1: of a lot better than he was last year. And
- 52:03Speaker 1: he played the entire season, but he had a lot
- 52:06Speaker 1: of ups and downs, but you could tell that it was, Hey,
- 52:09Speaker 1: I'm a red shirt sophomore and I'm trying to learn,
- 52:12Speaker 1: you know, a new way of playing at the next level.
- 52:14Speaker 1: He's gonna be stronger, He'll be good to go. I
- 52:16Speaker 1: think epl is gonna be pushing for a lot of time.
- 52:19Speaker 1: He may end up starting. I heard Derek Simmons the
- 52:23Speaker 1: transfer that came in from What's that was?
- 52:25Speaker 2: It was it West Carolina, Western Carolina, Carolina.
- 52:28Speaker 1: Heard it he's good. Heard that he's surprising a lot
- 52:31Speaker 1: of people with his ability to push stuff around. Uh
- 52:35Speaker 1: isaiatry Dan of course, heard great reviews about him. Your
- 52:41Speaker 1: tackles are gonna be the tackles are gonna be fun
- 52:45Speaker 1: this year, Coop, because I've I've got I've got six
- 52:53Speaker 1: combinations of two deeps to three three deep that you
- 52:59Speaker 1: can really go to technically go four deep, but I
- 53:03Speaker 1: mean Jake the Jake and Jake Jacob and Jake Tackles.
- 53:07Speaker 1: You've got Derek Simmons and isaiatry Dent. You've got Logan
- 53:12Speaker 1: Howland that could run out there. You still got Michael
- 53:16Speaker 1: Fassusi as well as Ryan Foge as true freshmen, and
- 53:20Speaker 1: they're both here. BO line's gonna be a hell of
- 53:24Speaker 1: a lot better than it was last year. Like that's
- 53:26Speaker 1: the expectation. Like last year, I had said this, the
- 53:31Speaker 1: line is young, and your quarterback is young. The thing
- 53:38Speaker 1: that should save us in a lot of situations is
- 53:41Speaker 1: having veteran wide receivers to help the quarterback get rid
- 53:44Speaker 1: of the ball faster. We didn't have that either, So
- 53:47Speaker 1: it exactly fell apart where I thought it was. Yeah,
- 53:52Speaker 1: I don't think that scenarios here today, veteran quarterback. I
- 53:55Speaker 1: think the line's gonna be a hell of a lot
- 53:56Speaker 1: more improved. They're prepared. They pushed around with LSU, they
- 54:00Speaker 1: pushed around with Alabama, they pushed around with Auburn. Right,
- 54:03Speaker 1: they know they know what it's like playing SEC. And
- 54:06Speaker 1: I think the wide receiver room you can mix and match.
- 54:09Speaker 1: We've seen schools bring in four or five wide receivers
- 54:11Speaker 1: and still dominate. So I think the line is gonna
- 54:14Speaker 1: be good.
- 54:14Speaker 2: What you think, Yeah, I mean you've got You've got
- 54:19Speaker 2: an influx of talent. You've got a couple of portal guys.
- 54:23Speaker 2: It's going to be fine in the best five. And
- 54:27Speaker 2: you know, you you brought up Fabachu way with like
- 54:29Speaker 2: you know, last year, he also had you know, someone
- 54:32Speaker 2: next to him was different almost every single game. Uh
- 54:35Speaker 2: you know, he just every single time he ran out there,
- 54:38Speaker 2: it was all right. So this guy does what you know,
- 54:41Speaker 2: and you had you know, some new new players with
- 54:44Speaker 2: thoseida and you know, guys like Logan Howland out there,
- 54:48Speaker 2: so you know, hearing great things. Uh yeah, yeah, you
- 54:53Speaker 2: know we we thought the same thing. I'm gonna think
- 54:56Speaker 2: the same thing going this year as I thought last year,
- 55:00Speaker 2: is the offensive line is going to be a super
- 55:05Speaker 2: talented young offensive line. Now they're a little bit more
- 55:09Speaker 2: battle tested this year, and that is kind of the
- 55:12Speaker 2: big difference for me, is they did they you know,
- 55:15Speaker 2: Logan Hallen got himself abused. He know what it's like
- 55:19Speaker 2: to have a bad play and then follow up with
- 55:21Speaker 2: a bad play and then follow up with a bad play.
- 55:23Speaker 2: And so now you've got you've got a good amount
- 55:27Speaker 2: of guys out there. Hopefully you can, you know, going
- 55:30Speaker 2: into this second year of the SEC, hopefully we can
- 55:33Speaker 2: get that offensive line that you know pretty much hammered
- 55:36Speaker 2: out pretty quickly. I do think Michigan being Michigan, you know,
- 55:41Speaker 2: their offense was just as bad as ours last year,
- 55:44Speaker 2: So you know you're you're going to have a defensive
- 55:46Speaker 2: battle there. They lose a ton on defense. They lose
- 55:50Speaker 2: I think three first round guys on defense, So you
- 55:55Speaker 2: got to think that, you know this, the offensive line
- 55:59Speaker 2: is going to get a good a good test you
- 56:02Speaker 2: know in week two, doesn't matter who Michigan lost that
- 56:05Speaker 2: it's it's much better than throwing out a temple you
- 56:09Speaker 2: know who we're also going to play and can't state,
- 56:13Speaker 2: and so the offensive line needs to really be have
- 56:17Speaker 2: the crap together, you know by taxes.
- 56:20Speaker 1: Yeah, and I like the fact that we have six dudes.
- 56:22Speaker 1: We had actually eight dudes. If you really do the
- 56:25Speaker 1: math behind it, that can play. I mean with Boo
- 56:28Speaker 1: Klinko as well as Deck Simmons, your two transfers in
- 56:31Speaker 1: buff ASUSI fog is your freshman. So you got four
- 56:33Speaker 1: people that are new and then you got Jake Jacob,
- 56:37Speaker 1: Isaiah Autry Dent and Logan Howland. So I Howland had
- 56:42Speaker 1: some good moments, some bads he has. He we all
- 56:46Speaker 1: knew he was a project, right, he's a he's a
- 56:48Speaker 1: he's a convert from tight end. But he's got the weight,
- 56:51Speaker 1: he's got the he's getting the strength. He's got to
- 56:53Speaker 1: get better. Autry Dent, you needs to learn to playbook
- 56:55Speaker 1: and get you know, get better. He was hurt a
- 56:57Speaker 1: little bit and he had a toe thing too. I
- 56:58Speaker 1: remember Pops shoot me a picture and that that hurt
- 57:01Speaker 1: my feelings on the Kiddoh, but he improves, Like said
- 57:07Speaker 1: Barr injury, this offensive line should be completely different. And
- 57:12Speaker 1: I'm ready to hear about the wide receivers like that's
- 57:15Speaker 1: I think that's the one thing from get me from
- 57:18Speaker 1: Supreme practice. What's the thing you want to hear about
- 57:21Speaker 1: from me? It's one hundred percent the wide receiver room.
- 57:25Speaker 1: I want to hear about who the ones is gonna
- 57:27Speaker 1: jump out in the passes out there? Uh, the wide
- 57:30Speaker 1: receiver room, and then of course our dB room. Who's
- 57:33Speaker 1: going to be the dbs that we're raving about in
- 57:36Speaker 1: that secondary. That's really what I'm not concerned about the
- 57:39Speaker 1: linebacker room, defensive line up. I want to know what
- 57:42Speaker 1: the secondary is talking about. I want to know what
- 57:43Speaker 1: the wid receiver room taking about. Because the good thing
- 57:45Speaker 1: is too coop. We're bringing back off o running backs
- 57:47Speaker 1: again as well. Yeah, and we just add Torri Blay. Like,
- 57:50Speaker 1: who's gonna be good? He should be really good. Like
- 57:52Speaker 1: I think he should be a upgraded version of Cal Hicks.
- 57:58Speaker 2: I mean, upgrade from zero is still zero, but I
- 58:01Speaker 2: think he's an upgrade.
- 58:02Speaker 1: Go about high school potential like Caleb was pretty so
- 58:05Speaker 1: high school.
- 58:06Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think that he is a
- 58:09Speaker 2: more explosive x ro you know, bigger, bigger, more of
- 58:14Speaker 2: a you know, more of a straight line speed type
- 58:16Speaker 2: of guy. But now I'm with you on the wide receivers.
- 58:18Speaker 2: I mean, that's gonna be it is the you know,
- 58:21Speaker 2: one of the big separations last year was when the
- 58:24Speaker 2: offensive line did hold up, which was quite often our
- 58:29Speaker 2: wide receivers couldn't get open. Well, you've got Jayden Gibson
- 58:32Speaker 2: comes back from injury. You know, I still think that
- 58:37Speaker 2: he is going to be a guy who you see
- 58:39Speaker 2: get bigger and better as the season goes on, as
- 58:42Speaker 2: he kind of gets his legs back underneath him. So early,
- 58:45Speaker 2: you're gonna need a Deon Burks to go out there
- 58:48Speaker 2: and do a good job. You need a younger guy
- 58:50Speaker 2: to step up, you know, whether it's a you know,
- 58:53Speaker 2: carry On or Zion Kearney. But the transfer those you know,
- 59:01Speaker 2: that's who we're gonna want to see. Is we're gonna
- 59:03Speaker 2: want to see the transfers. What are they going to
- 59:05Speaker 2: look at Javanni Gibson. You know hearing that, you know,
- 59:08Speaker 2: he is a big, big target, like he is a
- 59:11Speaker 2: he is a weapon, and so that's that's that's good.
- 59:15Speaker 2: You're hearing a lot of stuff about Elijah Thomas. Elijah
- 59:18Speaker 2: Thomas already turning a lot of heads, you know, the
- 59:21Speaker 2: freshman wide receiver, and you know, I've heard all the
- 59:27Speaker 2: comps on et and a lot of people compare him
- 59:31Speaker 2: with those famous uh you know, those big famous guys
- 59:34Speaker 2: like Ryan Broyles and uh, you know jaquin Iglesias. You
- 59:40Speaker 2: know that's the low end of stuff. Uh, you know,
- 59:42Speaker 2: throwing out a Sterling Shepherd type of comps. So he
- 59:46Speaker 2: is going to be a guy that is going to
- 59:48Speaker 2: uh I think that he's going to see some time
- 59:50Speaker 2: this year, and so it's what, you know, how do
- 59:53Speaker 2: the wide receivers take advantage of the opportunities given them,
- 59:56Speaker 2: Because that's another thing that we were absolutely horrid, absolutely
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: horrid last year is when the freshmen had a chance,
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: there were drops, there were bad routes. There were and
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: it's not just like the wrong route. It is if
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: you're supposed to run eight yards and then break out,
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: and you run six yards and break out, that's not good.
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: That bad because if the quarterbacks thrown to a point,
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: it's gonna be over the top of that guy's head.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: You're gonna be short of a first down. So it's
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: gonna be That's a big thing for me is the
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: running is the running out of the wide receivers. Who
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: who realizes that this is the number one slot is open?
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: Yep, And you can't do that. You can't expect a
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: bunch of true freshmen to figure it out for you.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: And then unfortunately they didn't have a bunch of they
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: didn't have the veterans to really help out. You lose
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: most of them to injury. So yeah, tough man, But hey,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: all that matters now is we're moving forward. Shout out
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: to our partners, or they bet us one hund honest
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: with your first deposit of two thousand dollars by using
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: promo code YouTube one fifty coup last thing spring game.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: You may mention of this, And I know that this
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: has been a conversation that everybody's wondering. Texas just canceled,
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: there's Nebraska canceled theirs, there's a few others that have
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: canceled their spring games. And the question before asked is
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: Oklahoma going to be following suit, which a lot of
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: schools probably will. I don't see Oklahoma following suit and
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: canceling their spring game, but you kind of alluded to
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: it earlier. I do think that there is an adjustment
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: type when it comes to the way the spring practice
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: is ran and it being a big may An event
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: for everybody. The problem is is that as long as
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: it's not televised, I think you should go ahead and
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: go with it. If you don't televise, you're fine. And
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: that's kind of where that poaching and the the tampering
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: piece comes in, because that was actually what Matt Ruhle
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: was saying, which I get now. At the same time,
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: I get the pushback of you must have a really
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: terrible culture if you're as your biggest concern. But we're
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: in a new era. College football man agent's hitting up
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: parents all the time. There's nothing and they're they're offering
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: stuff that you can't sneeze at. Like none of us
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: would do that if with our day job, we got
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: a call from somebody else said hey, I got.
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: Twice as much, you can come over here. What other
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: demands which you have? Uh, well, sure, I would like
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: to work twenty five hours a week instead of forty
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: five u exactly hours a week.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: I'll take it.
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: Fine, that's fine, that's fine. Yeah, you're gonna get that.
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: We'd all do the same thing. And I love my job,
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: and but like, you know, let's just be honest. I mean,
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: I know that if my boss walked in and said, uh,
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: you know, we really like to stay and you know
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: I can, I could give you a little bit of
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: a bump, but we can't double your pay.
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: You know that those in those we can't give you
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: more responsibility because we've got this person right in front
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: of you that we you know, we're we're we're still
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: feel like it's a little bit better than the way
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: that you present it.
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Well, also you also have you know this,
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: maybe you're you're getting back into springball for the first
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: time since you know, the December, and I haven't been
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: yelled at in a while. You know, all you've heard
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: is you know in I L and you're collecting your
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: checks and you know it's it, and you're you know,
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: it's sunk in a little bit more and you're excited
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: to do big things and you show up to practice
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: and then after working your tail off, Uh, you're a
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: number two on the depth chart. Yep, You're you're you're
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: a little sensitive, you're a little in the fields, and
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, you get that feeling of
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: you know, I don't really feel like I'm getting the
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: shake that I was promised where I thought that I
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: was going to have. And inter petation is uh is
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: you know, in each one of our hands. And so
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: you get that call right in a kind of sensitive
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: moment where you're a little frustrated with your current program.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: That's why people are frustrated right.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: Now, right and being I disagree with you, it is
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: tampering thing. That's exactly what Matt Rule said. Like that
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: that's like verbatim, he said that. It's people are tampering
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: and seeing and you say scripted plays. Cool, Those defensive
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: players aren't doing scripted plays. That second or third string
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: edge that's flying around there, and you're like, ooh, he's
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: got potential. He ain't gonna play this year because he's
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: still super raw. School's looking at that saying, uh, hey,
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: I got a job, I can I'll start you. Are
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: you interested in getting to that spring portal now? Once
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: they abolish the spring portal, which I expect to happen
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: once the settlement comes down. Sounds like the settlement's not
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: gonna happen until June. Uh June first, I think is
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: the guideline that was just recently sent out. But once
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: there's no spring portal, I think everybody goes back to
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: their standard spring games because and he I mean being
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: you could say that, but I don't. I don't agree.
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: They they still produce some players. I mean, they've had
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: in Dona can Sue type players over the years. People
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: will try to poach a player if they see that
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: he's good enough. The question is, I mean, the question
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: is is what schools desperate enough? And the thing is
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: it could be smaller schools. Smaller schools are starting to
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: do the poaching stuff. They're also doing a lot of
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: the tampering a lot of small schools because, like I
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: said before, they are throwing out their entire budget for
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: one dude, especially if they can get a big name
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: player that's from their state. It's happening. It's happening a
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: lot more than you think. Man, that's where the conversation is.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: But anyway, I don't think Oklahoma see to for tell them,
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: I've poached quartets Bills. He's good, and they've been paying
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: a lot for wide receivers to get around dealing real though.
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: But no, I I don't think that. I don't think
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: anybody eliminates the spring game indefinitely. I think they come back.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: But I do think that a lot of schools alike.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: I don't want my third string dude, who I plan
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: on playing the most or in spring game, to be
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: gapped over by people at small those schools that have
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: that have the budget now to go throw that throw
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: money at them.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: No, and again, it's not that Georgia it's going to
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: come after, you know, a Nebraska player. It's Indiana might
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: come after Purdue might come after, and you know, it
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: might be a guy that was number two, like you know,
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: they chose Nebraska over maybe Minnesota, and he was promised, hey, listen,
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: we're trying to do something big. We see you as
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: a starter here. In their head they heard you're going
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: to be a starter here and uh and so now
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Minnesota says we are three defensive tackles.
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: We could really use you, and so, yeah, I mean
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: it's it's just that's where these a lot of these
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: coaches are. I think that I think that the spring
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: games it's a little bit of a slap in the
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: face if you try to cancel Oklahoma's after what Oklahoma
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: fans did the Brent's first year, you know, and yeah,
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: selling out the entire stadium for spring game and then
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: to hear like some you know, third rate country artists
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: or something like that. Who was it back? I can't remember.
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: I don't want to bring up bad memories, but you know,
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: the spring game is we know what this is. You know,
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: this is a chance for fans to kind of get
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: out a preview. This is their you know, kind of
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: the the the doping up in the middle of you know,
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: spring summer you can get distracted with holidays and you know,
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: summer break and vacation and everything, and then you get
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: football and so spring games kind of that that middle
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: ground between into the season and the beginning of the
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: new season and fans needed, and so you're gonna have
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: to put something together to where you know, you can
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: have fans out and uh, you know, I'm not gonna lie.
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: I've actually sent Josie a couple of ideas on on
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: on just some stuff. And so I think that, I mean,
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: I think that ou is going to continue to do something,
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: but uh, you know, it's if it gets canceled, it's
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: it's it's understandable.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and and Ben Jeap told you now
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: I was mentioned to you. It's it's, uh, they're looking
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: at the potential more than anything when it comes to
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: like the tampering component of it. They turned up in
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: the spring, and okay, there's probably some potential there. I wonder,
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: you know, if his size the measurables because at the
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: same time, it's no different than what you look at
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: when it comes to high school, right, A lot of
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: these kids in high school so darn dominant it. But
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: it's high school that's they're planning against kids that they're
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: going to dominate against. And you give them to the
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: you know, against the top one percent at the collegiate level,
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: then it's a different story. And then you know the
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: next one percent of the NFL. But a lot of
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: these schools are looking at the you know, they're like, no,
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: they're looking at our third string dudes. They're seeing that,
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: you know, they're in the weight room, they look good,
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: and they're like, I could start you. I could start
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: you instead of you sitting on the bench. It's not
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: like it used to be, where like Alabama would stack
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: dudes behind dudes behind dudes because they wanted to play
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: for Nick Saban type deal. It's nowadays dudes are like,
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: I would like to go find a way to play
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: day one that is or opportunity to and you see
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: more freshman hell why receivers Probably the one that terrifies
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: me the most when it comes to that and it
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: comes to tampering. I mean, you saw Jeremiah Smith, you
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: saw Cam Coleman, you saw Ryan Williams. Not saying anybody
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: else is really liked them, but schools will say that
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: a kid is like them to convince them to come
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: up play for them. People will bump their guns about
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: some random ish, but my point is I don't think
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: that Oklahoma cancels theres. I do think the Sooners will
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: have an event for the fans that way. It's not
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: that we It doesn't look like they bailed on everything.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: So any who, let's get up out of here.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: Final thoughts, Yeah, I mean, my final thought on that
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: will go with final thought overall is why just add
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: something else that you gotta worry about? And that's kind
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: of what it all comes down to, because even if
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: somebody does ring ring up a call, I'm not saying
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: that I know of this for a fact, but you
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: know what, if you're an Auburn and you can ring
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: up you know, the backup defensive tackle at OU just
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: to cause some havoc for them, wouldn't you you know again,
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: you if you're willing to poison trees, aren't you willing
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: to you know, to to make a phone call to
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: try to start tampering with some guys. And and it's
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: it's the weirdness is going to continue to We're gonna
