• 1:09
  Speaker 2: everybody's trying to get the routine down, and I want
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to say I was probably leaving at six fifteen to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: go get both of my boys dropped off at their school.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And I want to say we were probably done with
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: drop off around seven thirty. And you know, I was like, Okay,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: is this gonna be every day an hour right now?
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: But you know weeks go on.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: He Oh, it's quicker and better, more efficient. Man, Now
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it's like a twenty minute. I text my wife today,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I was like, man, that's twenty minutes. Fifteen minutes both
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: kids dropped off. I'm even really for work.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So perfect, perfect yep, speaking of time, and things get
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: better with efficiency. Obviously, you've done offensive football for a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: long time back at Pearl, previous stint here when coach
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Perry was here. What made Pearl rite for you to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: come back for a second time?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Man, there's a lot of there's a lot of answers
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I could give you for that question, man, really, you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and the one that stands out to me the most,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: that just comes from the heart, is like a family
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: environment for me. I tell people all the time when
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I when I took this job again, when I came back,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I tell people all the time, I never had a
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: bad day at Pearl, no matter what in the classroom,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: on the football field, I never remember coming home and
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: just felt like, man, that was a bad day. There
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: might have been bad moments, but I don't I don't
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: think I've ever had a bad day. And you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: just my first stint here, I felt like, you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I felt like just the platform that I had to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: make an impact, man, that was just special. And you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and and the people here, from the administration to the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: coaching staff, to the kids, to the community, they make
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: it a special place. So you know, you can't ask
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: for a better place to be in my opinion.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Take us through what this may look like for you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: guys this year kind of a kind of a coach
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Caleb Kelly offense and what people will see with that, right.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So you know, the biggest thing for me is
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: identity and having that identity, and for me, it's just
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it's a downhill physical offense, you know, not being scared,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: not being scared to run between the tackles and however
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: way so we can do that, we do that or
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: whatever formation. So you know, I would like to I
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: would like to say we're multiple as far as personnel goes,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: But you know at the end of the day, we're
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: going to be a heavy gap scheme team.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Visit with Caleb Kelly, he is the offensive coordinator here
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: at Pearl. Pirates open up next Thursday night against Madison
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Central right here at Pirates Stadium. Of course, uh, coach,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: when you look at it at this group of Pirates
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: kind of take us through you talk about gap scheme
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and run of the football. Pearl has always been, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: prior to when you were here, when you were here
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the first a very physical football team. We've talked about
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that today is to me, that's the Pearl identity is
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: physical line of scrimmage football. This group of Pirates tell
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: us a little bit about them.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You know, you hit the nail on the head is
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you know, when you think Pearl, you think physical and
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: tough downhill run game. And you know that's been the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: biggest goal of the spring coming into the fall is
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: trying to you know, relive that identity in our current
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Pearl Pirates. But you know, so far with our personnel
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and what we got, man, we got some weapons on offense.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I've actually been super proud of our skill guys. We
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: have a number of guys I can name you know
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: who are gonna be contributing this fall. But you know
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you can't fail to mention the uh you know, Derrick
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Alexander Peyton Parks and you know we've had quarterback Cruise
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Atwood first year behind the center, who's just stepped up,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: made some amazing throws in the spring and has had
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: an awesome summer on seven on seven. So you know
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: he's gonna contribute greatly in that room of things. As
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: far as football, man, you know, to me, just the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the downhill run game and the personnel that we have,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I think we're gonna be really physical. But you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: we're still in the work in progress right there. We're
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: still we're still developing in that area, and I think
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: we're gonna be there. I believe we will be by
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: uh by next week. So you know, I'm I like
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: where we're at right now. Offensively, where where are you?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And of course the game has changed so much on
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: on tempo in offense. I mean, you say, you know
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago and I say two five, six,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: seventy two years ago when Tipo came on, everybody said, Okay,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go the old Buffalo Bills two minute offense.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: You've remember back in the day with Jim Kelly. Now
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: everybody's running, you know, rip and running sideline to sideline.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Then that kind of slowed down a little bit, got
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: some teams in trouble. Yeah. I remember when Kevin Someone
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: was at Texas A and M. They were such a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: high tempo offense, but it was getting their defense in
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: some precarious situation. So kind of wear you with tempo.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: You know, back in prior to my stint Innoxipator, I
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: was a you know, I loved it. I was a
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: big tempo guy and I thought and I and honestly,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: looking at tempo, I think is appropriate at certain times
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of the game. You know, just like you said, you
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: don't want to exhaustr defense. And you know where I've been,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: You've played eleven guys on both sides of the ball.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: So really tempo got thrown out the window for me
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: four years ago.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: For four years.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So you know, we've been a really a quick muddle, huddle,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: break and get to the line of scrimmage down here
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: run team the last four years just because we'dn't been
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: at smart schools. But you know, we've had the ability
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: to get into tempo to go attack and you know
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I love it, man, You know I love to see
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: it on Saturdays. But you know, to me, it's all
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: about your personnel, what you have, Can you do it?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Can you can you efficiently do it? And if you can,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: you know, hats off to you do it. But you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to me, I love it, but I think is appropriate
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: at certain times of the game.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: He is Caleb Kelly, the offensive coordinator Hit Pearl, Coach.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I know you got obligations to fulfill. I told you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: five to seven. That's where we're at.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: So look, man, look it's been great. I've enjoyed it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I can do this all day honestly. Well we'll do
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it again for sure. Best of luck this year, coach.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Coach. Caleb Kelly, offensive coordinator, Here
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: at Pearl on your radio as we get closer to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the end of our number two. We got a few
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: minutes here and we'll catch you up on some notes.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Wild story out of the state of Tennessee. A sixteen
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: year old Tennessee girl has been charged with assault after
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: running onto a football field in the middle of a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: game in tackling a middle school player. The videos here,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I just shared it on ex to Clinton body Shop
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: X feed at Jake wim and literally it's kind of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a subscriber or excuse me, describe this again. You can
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: go watch it. The play is over, there's a flag
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: thrown and this girl runs out onto the field and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: she literally tackles a player. And this girl ain't big
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: as nothing now, she's probably five to three five four,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: maybe one hundred and ten pounds. She's wearing some shorts
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and you know, just a normal shirt and she literally
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: runs out on the field, off the sideline, tackles a guy.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: When the guy gets up, she pushes him down again.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: They may need to suit this girl up. This is
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a crazy, crazy video. I don't think
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I've seen that. I mean, it's you know, especially out
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of a female. But nonetheless something she didn't like. She
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: did it also real quickly. Here's some other news that's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: out here that we haven't gotten to. We'll get into
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: this in our number three from Matt Zenitz. Former LSU
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in current Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jack Pyburn has
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: filed a lawsuit today against the NCAA seeking a preliminary
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: injunction that would give him the option to return to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: college football, per reports obtained from several Chris Hummer being one,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: as he is looking to get back on the field.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: That's edge Jack Pyburn and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: end and again talking to some of the coaches here
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Pearl about this and just talking shop. You know, this
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: puts teams in such a precarious situation because let's say
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: he wants to come back to LSU. He can come
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: back to LSU. Well, LSU plays Clemson in like ten days.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So what would Lane Kiffin even do with that? I mean,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to cut somebody. Do you have a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: spot that what the court system has done this year
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: has really I mean the mud the Water's already murky
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and mucky in college sports, but this, this whole new
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: rule has really just muddy the waters. Also looking at
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: some more, Ben Garrett reports Zavian Harris and the Kwon
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Wright are listed as well and wanting to come back
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to LSU. I mean right here at the end. And
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I think what you're seeing though, is guys that see
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the writing on the wall in the NFL, they're in camps,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: They're probably gonna get cut. They're not gonna make the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: fifty three man roster, and they know they're not gonna
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: get paid unless they get on a practice squad. And
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that's pennies on the dollar compared to what you could
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: make in college. So they're wanting to wanting to back. Also,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Adam Schefter reporting Giants claim defensive tackle Ben Barton off
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: waivers from the Jets. The Dolphins released veteran kicker Zane Gonzalez,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and the Falcons placed a runningback Tray Sermon on injured reserve.
