- 1:12Speaker 1: at the same time, we understand that, you know, life happened,
- 1:16Speaker 1: so we appreciate the fact that, uh yeah, you guys
- 1:22Speaker 1: have rolled with all of us today. So yeah, it's
- 1:26Speaker 1: It's been a great, of course season for us. It's
- 1:30Speaker 1: been a great year. We've been seeing and getting some
- 1:33Speaker 1: good content with you all, some good reactions. We miss
- 1:37Speaker 1: every single one of you. That's weird that our froze,
- 1:40Speaker 1: but looks like I am back. Coop has jumped in here. Coop,
- 1:45Speaker 1: how's it going, man, Happy Sunday?
- 1:47Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, sorry, this is a tardy slip my it
- 1:52Speaker 2: was my mom's fault.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I love it. We'll blamee moms, but hey, we still
- 1:58Speaker 1: love bombs and hope moms is doing well. But yeah,
- 2:03Speaker 1: we're here to start off with the one thing that
- 2:07Speaker 1: I want to provide for everybody is this is your
- 2:10Speaker 1: final day of morning. The season ended Friday night. Sooners
- 2:14Speaker 1: lost to Alabama at a terrifyingly terrible score of thirty
- 2:20Speaker 1: four to twenty four. Oklahoma looked like they had a
- 2:26Speaker 1: chance of doing something special and they just did not
- 2:28Speaker 1: close out on it. With that being said, I'm giving
- 2:32Speaker 1: everybody permission to have their final morning moment as we
- 2:36Speaker 1: prepared to start lookover to twenty six. You kind of
- 2:38Speaker 1: gotta look forward. It was a great season, it was
- 2:41Speaker 1: great fun. It's been great covering it with you all,
- 2:44Speaker 1: Me and Coop. Coop. I know you haven't got a
- 2:47Speaker 1: chance to really dive into your feelings and everything from
- 2:49Speaker 1: the game because you know, I always do a morning
- 2:51Speaker 1: after and so yeah, talk to us, man, how do
- 2:56Speaker 1: you feel about everything?
- 2:59Speaker 2: I mean, you zoom out, right, like that's the first
- 3:02Speaker 2: thing I said to you is if you zoom out
- 3:05Speaker 2: and you take a look at what what you felt
- 3:10Speaker 2: like after the Navy game last year. You know, let's
- 3:15Speaker 2: I Hanks saying here, you got a a seven and
- 3:20Speaker 2: a half win at most. You know, uh, you know
- 3:24Speaker 2: over under it, I guess win total in Vegas. You
- 3:27Speaker 2: get towards the you get to the beginning of the season,
- 3:32Speaker 2: Michigan comes in. So I'll just say you zoom out.
- 3:35Speaker 2: If somebody says, hey, listen, you guys, we're going to
- 3:38Speaker 2: the playoffs next year. As a step forward, We're going
- 3:41Speaker 2: to go to the playoffs. Not going to be eight
- 3:43Speaker 2: and four, not gonna be nine and three, We're gonna
- 3:45Speaker 2: be ten and two, We're gonna go to the playoffs.
- 3:47Speaker 2: We're gonna have to beat Alabama for the second time
- 3:50Speaker 2: in the year. We're going to come out, we're gonna
- 3:53Speaker 2: show that this can be a dominant team, but we're
- 3:56Speaker 2: gonna fall short in the end. I think every single
- 3:59Speaker 2: suit fan is like, yeah, So now the reality is
- 4:09Speaker 2: you can't always just zoom out right. So, like games
- 4:13Speaker 2: starts off, I am. I mean, I I was with
- 4:18Speaker 2: the you know, two of my friends, Keith and Steven,
- 4:22Speaker 2: and they came over to my house and we all
- 4:24Speaker 2: watched made way too much more, too much food for
- 4:27Speaker 2: three people. But we get up seventeen to nothing and
- 4:33Speaker 2: I'm all happy and everything, and Keith looks at me
- 4:36Speaker 2: and he goes, this is amazing, And I said, I
- 4:39Speaker 2: saw the Georgia game, so I'm not going to just
- 4:41Speaker 2: lose my mind at.
- 4:42Speaker 1: This point, Ohio, And he was you it was it
- 4:47Speaker 1: was me.
- 4:49Speaker 2: I saw several tweets that that said the same thing.
- 4:53Speaker 2: So then obviously at the end of all it, you're
- 4:59Speaker 2: playing in the play playoff against a team that is
- 5:04Speaker 2: who they are, right, it's still Alabama. Now Alabama could
- 5:08Speaker 2: go out and win a close game, win a you
- 5:12Speaker 2: know seemingly close game or get blown out or something
- 5:15Speaker 2: like that next week, and that has nothing to do
- 5:19Speaker 2: with us, but you know, you, you the frustrating thing
- 5:23Speaker 2: is you were working Alabama, dominating in every aspect of
- 5:28Speaker 2: the game. Two straight three and outs. It wasn't looking good.
- 5:33Speaker 2: And then you had the material pass, you had the
- 5:36Speaker 2: drought punt, you had the pick six, and everything snowballs
- 5:41Speaker 2: like like crazy and you just can't and even I mean,
- 5:45Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna lie, like even just two
- 5:48Speaker 2: or three minutes left in the game, you're like, we
- 5:51Speaker 2: can still do this. Like that's what this team did
- 5:54Speaker 2: to us this year was you could still make a
- 5:57Speaker 2: run at this, and it gave you the hope and
- 6:00Speaker 2: gave you the belief. And I think that my belief
- 6:02Speaker 2: finally went down the tubes with the with the first
- 6:07Speaker 2: field goal miss. When that happened, I was like, well, Ship,
- 6:13Speaker 2: there it is, so we should all blame me for this. Yes,
- 6:18Speaker 2: this is uh, this is it.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Thank everybody. We're gonna put this on the screen for everybody. Yes,
- 6:23Speaker 1: we're gonna blame Coop for this. No kidding, kidding, kidding,
- 6:26Speaker 1: oh kidding aside, No.
- 6:31Speaker 2: I am no you I deserve it. I will go
- 6:34Speaker 2: cover Oklahoma State Now, no wins this next year, stinky,
- 6:41Speaker 2: But I just I mean, I echo what you were
- 6:46Speaker 2: just saying. Jay. You know, we all have been doing this,
- 6:51Speaker 2: doing this, do this battle together here for a couple
- 6:54Speaker 2: of years now, and uh we have, you know, fun
- 6:58Speaker 2: stuff to look forward to. You know, I saw somebody
- 7:01Speaker 2: make a comment about, you know, how it took Kirby
- 7:03Speaker 2: seven years to win the national championship. You know, there's
- 7:06Speaker 2: a lot to there's a lot of hope to look
- 7:10Speaker 2: forward to. You know, we every single bit of what
- 7:14Speaker 2: we've been doing in coaching, recruiting. The thing is is
- 7:18Speaker 2: this is difficult, right, this is difficult. I was dead
- 7:22Speaker 2: set wrong on you know, beating Alabama the second time.
- 7:26Speaker 2: What's going to be easier because I thought we were
- 7:28Speaker 2: going to be healthier and they were a hurt team.
- 7:31Speaker 2: But Jay, the moment that you I think that, you know,
- 7:35Speaker 2: if you can make God believe, people will no longer
- 7:39Speaker 2: you know, believe that he is God. The moment that
- 7:41Speaker 2: you let a hurt team have some hope and you
- 7:44Speaker 2: give them an opening. It's still a playoff team, It's
- 7:47Speaker 2: still Alabama. Those are still four or five star athletes
- 7:51Speaker 2: and the moment that you give them that opening and
- 7:54Speaker 2: they're gonna take it, and at that point then they
- 7:57Speaker 2: become the people the momentum. So yeah, I mean I
- 8:03Speaker 2: was upset. I mean, you know, at the end of
- 8:06Speaker 2: the game said bye to everybody. I saw that you
- 8:08Speaker 2: were un lockdown. I kind of watched for a few
- 8:10Speaker 2: minutes and then I thought, uh, I'll go watch the
- 8:13Speaker 2: thunder and that didn't go too well either, So I
- 8:15Speaker 2: was like, I'm not gonna watch any more sports this weekend.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a brutal weekend for it. I mean,
- 8:20Speaker 1: my Buccaneers lost this weekend to Baker through an interception
- 8:22Speaker 1: to close the game out. You know, just you know,
- 8:25Speaker 1: just great timing on all that, right, So no, I
- 8:29Speaker 1: want you to get that out spat uninterrupted. Want to
- 8:31Speaker 1: give you the first, you know, six seven minutes of
- 8:33Speaker 1: just kind of getting your feelings out. So we're gonna
- 8:35Speaker 1: talk and break down the game and really talk about it.
- 8:39Speaker 1: But I want to give you that A couple of
- 8:40Speaker 1: things I want to talk about real quick. In the
- 8:43Speaker 1: comments section of people asking I think there's been like
- 8:46Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen people asked the same question about Kobe
- 8:48Speaker 1: McKenzie and the portal. We will talk about the portal,
- 8:51Speaker 1: I promise you and I have an explanation as to why.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Plus I got a couple other players I'm expecting to
- 8:55Speaker 1: hit there as well. We'll talk about that, though it'll
- 8:59Speaker 1: be after the after the commercial. But right now, I
- 9:03Speaker 1: kind of want to close out. Like I said, I'm
- 9:05Speaker 1: wanna close out this game, and I'm gonna close out
- 9:07Speaker 1: this season because now we really are in the mode
- 9:10Speaker 1: of looking at twenty twenty six. I've gone back and
- 9:14Speaker 1: watched the game an unhealthy amount of times. I think
- 9:19Speaker 1: I've watched it five times, and I've watched it all
- 9:21Speaker 1: twenty two probably four times as well. I've just gone
- 9:26Speaker 1: back and watched plays. I've gone back and looked at scenarios.
- 9:29Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say this for those in the comments
- 9:35Speaker 1: that have already lost their minds, please don't say stupid stuff.
- 9:39Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a good job of not calling anybody
- 9:41Speaker 1: stupid today. Please don't say stupid stuff. It makes no sense.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Let's be realistic here. This team bawled out up until
- 9:51Speaker 1: everything fell apart. The preparation for this game and everything
- 9:57Speaker 1: I talked about how Oklahoma could win this game. Was
- 10:00Speaker 1: that the two phases that have closed the cover that
- 10:03Speaker 1: have carried us this entire season, where the two phases
- 10:06Speaker 1: were going to win this game for us, and that
- 10:09Speaker 1: was the two phases that actually lost us this game,
- 10:11Speaker 1: which is the most depressing part. The Special Team struggled.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Sindel did fine, he kept a streak alive, but when
- 10:19Speaker 1: the game got to where it was in the clutchiest
- 10:22Speaker 1: of clutch, the bad juju was already there and so
- 10:25Speaker 1: Titanium leg missed those two kicks. Honestly, I don't even
- 10:27Speaker 1: blame him on those and I say that because the
- 10:30Speaker 1: game is already basically got to reach it at that point,
- 10:32Speaker 1: we were already in the bad juju juju era area.
- 10:38Speaker 1: But Grayson, my boy Miller, it was just like it
- 10:44Speaker 1: was funny seeing the post coupe of people like that
- 10:47Speaker 1: man's going to Vegas. He's got some money coming to Vegas,
- 10:50Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I don't think that he wanted to
- 10:53Speaker 1: purposely end his season that way, but at the same time,
- 10:57Speaker 1: that's all jokes aside. Man, he had a badge going
- 11:02Speaker 1: that was so bad. And I say that because the
- 11:07Speaker 1: two times Bama got in the end zone outside of
- 11:10Speaker 1: that loan drive they did where we were missing tackles
- 11:15Speaker 1: with short fields were very short fields. That is to
- 11:20Speaker 1: me what really cost us. Once we gave them short
- 11:24Speaker 1: fields were we were cooked and we did. We gave
- 11:29Speaker 1: them a really good field positioning in a lot of
- 11:31Speaker 1: the game. Now with that being said, Coop, talk about
- 11:36Speaker 1: some of the elephants in the room. We all gained
- 11:40Speaker 1: them by one hundred and two yards. Bro, how do
- 11:45Speaker 1: you gout gave them by one hundred and two yards
- 11:48Speaker 1: and lose like that? Terrible, man, terrible. It's just bad
- 11:52Speaker 1: field positioning. It's just it was bad.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Crazy flip. It was the flip of the game earlier
- 11:58Speaker 2: in the season, full flip offense. And I think it
- 12:02Speaker 2: would have been an exact match if X Rob catches
- 12:08Speaker 2: that pass, X Rob catches that pass. I mean that's
- 12:11Speaker 2: sixty yards on top of materials total. Yeah, I mean,
- 12:16Speaker 2: that's that's just I mean, it just it just is
- 12:18Speaker 2: what it is. And but I would like to get
- 12:22Speaker 2: an explanation on the Grayson Miller situation. I really would
- 12:26Speaker 2: because I just don't like, I've never punted in a
- 12:33Speaker 2: game at all. I've kicked the football before, I've never
- 12:37Speaker 2: punted in a game, never been instructed hunt how to punt.
- 12:42Speaker 2: But I also don't think that I don't know, since
- 12:46Speaker 2: since I became a post pubescent child, I don't think
- 12:49Speaker 2: I've ever just dropped the ball, not flinched, not even
- 12:53Speaker 2: swung my foot. It looked curious. It looked really really odd.
- 12:58Speaker 2: No I'm not saying, I'm not saying that Miller was
- 13:01Speaker 2: paid off or anything. And if something like that came out,
- 13:03Speaker 2: that would be, you know, really really bad. But it
- 13:07Speaker 2: literally looked like dude just froze in the moment and
- 13:12Speaker 2: he I mean, that's deer in the headlights. If you've
- 13:15Speaker 2: ever I mean, by definition it was. It was awful.
- 13:19Speaker 2: But you give you give Alabama the you know, the
- 13:26Speaker 2: big pass where you miss it and they didn't have
- 13:30Speaker 2: to earn it. That's the thing is is that's I mean.
- 13:34Speaker 2: And if you're one of the people says John should
- 13:37Speaker 2: have run, that's one hundred percent revision we'll get. But
- 13:43Speaker 2: you go from this big, long drop, then they turn
- 13:48Speaker 2: around and then another drop by the punter, and I mean,
- 13:53Speaker 2: it just was what it was at that point. And
- 13:55Speaker 2: this defense so many times this year has and even
- 13:58Speaker 2: last year has had to you know, go back on
- 14:01Speaker 2: the field, you know, in an instant after like a
- 14:04Speaker 2: WTF moment and do it. And to think that like
- 14:08Speaker 2: they're gonna do it for two straight seasons and never
- 14:11Speaker 2: have like a you know, have a series where it's
- 14:15Speaker 2: just not gonna look good. Yeah, I mean they fought
- 14:17Speaker 2: their ass off. So I mean, like you were saying, Jay,
- 14:22Speaker 2: you you gave them the short yards and with the
- 14:27Speaker 2: mistakes and they took advantage of them.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Yep, that's exactly it. And Johnny Boy, happy holidays. I
- 14:33Speaker 1: appreciate you pulling up definitely like that is there was.
- 14:39Speaker 1: It's just I mean, looking at the numbers here overall
- 14:41Speaker 1: went bad. We were seven for eighteen on third, which
- 14:44Speaker 1: was pretty solid. They were two for twelve like all
- 14:46Speaker 1: the stuff that typically works for Oklahoma in their favorite
- 14:49Speaker 1: thirty three in the time of possession to twenty six.
- 14:53Speaker 1: The only thing that got us was the interception, which
- 14:55Speaker 1: is what I expected. I expect us to throw interception
- 14:57Speaker 1: every game. That's just the expectation of mind. And we'll
- 15:02Speaker 1: talk about that in a second when we talk about offense.
- 15:04Speaker 1: But really, the the those two phases just vanished, like
- 15:09Speaker 1: we just they just did not exist. We the the
- 15:13Speaker 1: the punt, and you could tell I was Somebody had
- 15:17Speaker 1: posted on X and they had asked a question about
- 15:21Speaker 1: I'm not a kicker, but what what what do you
- 15:24Speaker 1: see in this sequence? And uh and someone that has
- 15:28Speaker 1: he said, Hey, I was a punter in D one
- 15:29Speaker 1: foot blah blah blah blah. The ball slipped out of
- 15:32Speaker 1: his hands and you can tell that, and he completely
- 15:34Speaker 1: lost his rhythm. And I looked at it and I'm like, ah, snap,
- 15:38Speaker 1: it did. Didn't really notice that, but it it slipped
- 15:42Speaker 1: to where he didn't throw it where he wanted to
- 15:44Speaker 1: go to punt to me, whenever it fell, he should
- 15:49Speaker 1: have picked it up and tried to run it because
- 15:51Speaker 1: if he the reds to the left, buddy, he probably
- 15:56Speaker 1: would have gotten at least of a lot of scrimmage.
- 16:00Speaker 1: But yeah, that that just didn't work out. And then
- 16:03Speaker 1: he shaked the other one and he's just like, oh gosh.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Now that's the thing about Grayson, like you gotta love
- 16:10Speaker 1: him and hate him in that capacity, because all season long,
- 16:14Speaker 1: he's either kicked it beautifully and it's been like inside
- 16:17Speaker 1: the twenty with the perfect roll, or it's been shaked.
- 16:21Speaker 1: It's been one or the other. But he's done more
- 16:24Speaker 1: good kicks than bad. It's just this game we did
- 16:28Speaker 1: not get that, and that, to me is really your
- 16:31Speaker 1: turning point because that's where all that fuel positioning changed
- 16:35Speaker 1: was right there. It was like everything went straight lemon booty.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Everybody just started puckering up and it just the moment
- 16:41Speaker 1: was too big. I definitely want to talk about Materir
- 16:46Speaker 1: in a second. I still want to, but I do
- 16:49Speaker 1: want to wrap up this on defense because Coop, this
- 16:53Speaker 1: was the thing that got me on the defensive side
- 16:54Speaker 1: of the ball. Quavis was out there moving around getting open.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Nobody would watching that dude. That upset me a lot.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Like I said, we're morning the end of the season
- 17:06Speaker 1: and we're gonna look up the twenty six because I
- 17:08Speaker 1: feel like this season was a great build to go
- 17:11Speaker 1: into next year. But Doc Clavis was open, like he
- 17:15Speaker 1: had a couple catches. I'm just like, no, don't let
- 17:18Speaker 1: him be open there.
- 17:19Speaker 2: What are we doing?
- 17:20Speaker 1: He should be watching now Brooks, the Tue freshman. I
- 17:23Speaker 1: can't be mad at that situation. Why we ain't seen
- 17:26Speaker 1: him this year? This was a new development situation. Ryan
- 17:30Speaker 1: Williams had one catch for five yards, who you thought
- 17:32Speaker 1: was gonna beat your tail. Jerry Minard three catches for
- 17:35Speaker 1: forty yards. Not terrible, not great, but not terrible. Yeah,
- 17:41Speaker 1: but Brooks five to seventy nine. Of those two touchdowns,
- 17:44Speaker 1: it's one touchdown where it seemed like nobody wanted to
- 17:46Speaker 1: tackle him and he did like a super spin move.
- 17:48Speaker 1: He did like a Kameo Maya flip in the air
- 17:51Speaker 1: in there, like dal scene from from Street Fighter, and
- 17:56Speaker 1: he laying it ends on him, just like, what did
- 17:58Speaker 1: nobody want to tackle this man? What are we doing?
- 18:01Speaker 2: It's it's almost like everybody was rushing to hit him
- 18:06Speaker 2: hard and then the angles just were they were bad.
- 18:11Speaker 2: But you know that's not I mean, that's not the
- 18:16Speaker 2: play that I could get to frustrate about, you know,
- 18:18Speaker 2: the Horton catch over the back of Jacoby Johnson. Like, guys,
- 18:24Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be I'm not gonna be upset about that.
- 18:26Speaker 2: That's a guy that's supposed to be a first round
- 18:28Speaker 2: draft pick. Yeah, and he made a great play, you know,
- 18:32Speaker 2: defensive backs right there. He just made a great play.
- 18:37Speaker 2: I mean that's what you know, those things happened, But
- 18:40Speaker 2: you know what was the outside of that. I Mean,
- 18:43Speaker 2: the guy it's not like he was out there just
- 18:45Speaker 2: running all over the place. I mean that long. It
- 18:47Speaker 2: was thirty seven, So we had four catches for what
- 18:51Speaker 2: twenty seventh on yards? Yeah yeah. Outside of that, so
- 18:55Speaker 2: Ryan Williams again still has I mean that's three games
- 19:00Speaker 2: and he has not reached one hundred yards cumulively yet.
- 19:06Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, Jay, I just I you know,
- 19:12Speaker 2: there's the adage of like the defense played well enough
- 19:14Speaker 2: to win the game when snowballs start snowballing. Yeah, it's
- 19:21Speaker 2: hard and yeah, and.
- 19:24Speaker 1: This wasn't one of those scenarios where typically your defense
- 19:28Speaker 1: could have won you this game. Because it was on
- 19:31Speaker 1: that thirty four to seven run you saw the the
- 19:34Speaker 1: defense just was not closing out the way that you
- 19:38Speaker 1: really needed them to close out. Like I was looking
- 19:40Speaker 1: at the possessions and I'm just like, these aren't that bad.
- 19:44Speaker 1: But man, we were giving up back to back scores.
- 19:50Speaker 1: You know, something that we weren't doing before. We were
- 19:53Speaker 1: giving it up. I mean, the offense was doing some
- 19:55Speaker 1: long drives. Because it was funny to me, was the
- 19:58Speaker 1: whole talk this entire our time was and we're gonna
- 20:01Speaker 1: jump into the offense. Here was that can Oklahoma score points.
- 20:06Speaker 1: We won one hundred percent. Went out there and did it.
- 20:08Speaker 1: That's the crazy part. The offense went out there and
- 20:11Speaker 1: did it.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Coop.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Let's talk about that first before we keep going. Let's

- 21:27Speaker 1: us five stars. Offensive side of the ball was the
- 21:30Speaker 1: one where I was just like, how does this happen?
- 21:33Speaker 1: Three hundred and sixty two yards of offense coop material
- 21:39Speaker 1: throws for three hundred in this game. Didn't expect him
- 21:42Speaker 1: to be able to throw that because, like I said,
- 21:44Speaker 1: the whole conversation was can Oklahoma's offense even do thing?
- 21:48Speaker 1: This dude looked like the Michigan version he was cutting.
- 21:51Speaker 1: The runs were actually pretty good, and we got to
- 21:55Speaker 1: talk about that play. The play where I went back
- 22:01Speaker 1: and watched it on the twenty two. I've watched it
- 22:04Speaker 1: probably I think a legit fifteen times, and there was
- 22:10Speaker 1: a couple of things in there that I noticed. First off,
- 22:13Speaker 1: Keon Sighed with a really good delayed blitz. And if
- 22:20Speaker 1: Matear wasn't Mateir, that's a sack because he's gonna hit
- 22:24Speaker 1: him right in his back, similar to way Marmon Jones Jr.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Got Ty Simpson. That's a sack period. But of course
- 22:29Speaker 1: he breaks the tackle when the chaos started. That's when
- 22:34Speaker 1: I started to notice things, because when he was there,
- 22:37Speaker 1: his head was looking at kateen Helms and he was
- 22:39Speaker 1: about to cock and throw it to him. But he
- 22:41Speaker 1: felt that pressure. Thank goodness he did, because if he didn't,
- 22:44Speaker 1: I think he may have fumbled the ball. He breaks
- 22:46Speaker 1: the tackle, but when he turns around, everybody on the
- 22:49Speaker 1: right side of the defense starts following him. But you
- 22:52Speaker 1: had x Rob who had continued his route as if
- 22:55Speaker 1: he was trying to clear out. And so when Matear's
- 22:58Speaker 1: running forward, he had two options. I'm sorry, he had
- 23:02Speaker 1: three options. One he could have ran it and got
- 23:05Speaker 1: the first down. Probably should have done that if you
- 23:09Speaker 1: really think about hindsight being fifty to fifty. Option two,
- 23:13Speaker 1: which I understood why he did it. X Rob had stried.
- 23:16Speaker 1: He hit him right in his hands. If x Rob
- 23:19Speaker 1: catches that good chance, he breaks thet tack when he's
- 23:21Speaker 1: going in for the touchdown. Didn't work out. Unfortunately, he
- 23:25Speaker 1: dropped it, which I feel so terrible for x Rob
- 23:28Speaker 1: Option three though, Coop, this is the third thing that
- 23:30Speaker 1: I noticed that he probably could have done. If you
- 23:32Speaker 1: would have check, stopped, set his feet, probably could get
- 23:34Speaker 1: hit Cayden Helms across the middle. I've had people talk
- 23:38Speaker 1: about the Isaiah Satana backside whill that only got open
- 23:44Speaker 1: because the defense saw Materi running. That linebacker was following
- 23:48Speaker 1: Satainia the whole time, wouldn't have gotten there he unless
- 23:51Speaker 1: he set his feet stop and then through it. He
- 23:53Speaker 1: probably could have led him and got him wide open.
- 23:55Speaker 1: But man, it was a lose lose sitchuation for him.
- 24:02Speaker 1: And this is why I said it was lose lose.
- 24:05Speaker 1: He runs against the first down. Everybody's gonna say he
- 24:08Speaker 1: was wide open on the field. Why did he throw
- 24:10Speaker 1: it to the wide open guy? He threw it to
- 24:14Speaker 1: the guy because it made sense to chunk it down there,
- 24:16Speaker 1: and he threw a really good ball even all contorted.
- 24:19Speaker 1: He threw a good ball. Unfortunately he dropped it. Now
- 24:21Speaker 1: everybody's saying he should have run the ball, no matter
- 24:23Speaker 1: what material screwin net, but overall played as good as
- 24:30Speaker 1: he did in the Michigan game, the game that everybody
- 24:32Speaker 1: was all excited about him, even with his flaws. Everybody
- 24:35Speaker 1: was excited about him at the machine game. That's what
- 24:37Speaker 1: he looked liked, no tape on his thumb doll. He
- 24:40Speaker 1: looked good. He looked like the materr. From the beginning
- 24:43Speaker 1: of the season.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Every throw was I mean, every throw had zip on it.
- 24:49Speaker 2: You heard, I mean you heard commentators talking about it.
- 24:51Speaker 2: If you were there, you missed that portion. But I mean, guys,
- 24:57Speaker 2: I'm just going to disagree with you every day week
- 25:00Speaker 2: like you're a d one and not like just any
- 25:04Speaker 2: d one. You play at the University of Oklahoma. We've
- 25:08Speaker 2: been calling for the running back passing game all year long.
- 25:12Speaker 2: You throw it to an open guy and he drops
- 25:15Speaker 2: it like that. It's now if you if he would
- 25:21Speaker 2: have ran the ball, and that would have never you know,
- 25:23Speaker 2: we would have never been talking about this because I
- 25:27Speaker 2: still think that like on you know, somebody would still
- 25:29Speaker 2: came back like, oh man, did you see this? Or
- 25:31Speaker 2: oh man, did you see that? But yeah, you get
- 25:34Speaker 2: you get out there and Jomtier has been criticized for
- 25:37Speaker 2: not being patient enough all season long. When he gets scrambling,
- 25:42Speaker 2: he keeps his eyes uh you know, everything in front
- 25:45Speaker 2: of him and doesn't keep his eyes down piled That's
- 25:48Speaker 2: a that's a play. I mean I I would I
- 25:50Speaker 2: would venture to say, if you go and you ask
- 25:53Speaker 2: every single offensive coordinator in the game, would you rather
- 25:56Speaker 2: have him take off running or throw it to that
- 25:59Speaker 2: wide open receiver. They're they're they're going to say throw
- 26:04Speaker 2: the ball. You see it every single and the fact
- 26:08Speaker 2: of the drop makes materis decision like somehow like controversial
- 26:14Speaker 2: by people because of how the game ended up.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Yeah, uh he was. He was.
- 26:21Speaker 2: I mean he was spinning it. Now, moving on from
- 26:26Speaker 2: that play, I think he deserves a lot of criticism
- 26:33Speaker 2: on the interception.
- 26:36Speaker 1: No, I agree with that. I know what he did.
- 26:38Speaker 1: I know what he saw. I went back and looked
- 26:40Speaker 1: at it. When I went back and looked at it
- 26:42Speaker 1: like four or five times, I know what he saw.
- 26:44Speaker 1: He saw a red helmet. He thought his guy was
- 26:47Speaker 1: coming back, so he looked at that red helmet and
- 26:50Speaker 1: threw it to the red helmet. It was like, oh crap,
- 26:52Speaker 1: that was not the red helmet I was looking for.
- 26:55Speaker 1: That's why. And everybody talked about it was the miscommunication. Yeah,
- 26:58Speaker 1: he thought Lewis coming back, like he thought Louis was stopping.
- 27:02Speaker 1: But he saw the red hill and I thought that
- 27:04Speaker 1: was the stop and it didn't happen.
- 27:07Speaker 2: And and I've heard Louis was supposed to run a hitch.
- 27:11Speaker 2: I don't know it would have been different. I don't
- 27:13Speaker 2: know if the play would have been different if you
- 27:15Speaker 2: would have ran that hitch, because dude was sitting out
- 27:19Speaker 2: there and that's that's that's kind of his m O. Yep.
- 27:24Speaker 2: But I mean this, this material looked this, This look
- 27:28Speaker 2: material looked good. We were able to bet out there
- 27:31Speaker 2: and throw the ball really, really well. There's still a
- 27:34Speaker 2: lot of things that he's going to have to work on.
- 27:36Speaker 2: I I fully agree you need to go. You need
- 27:39Speaker 2: to get yourself into some footwork drills starting yesterday. Footwork,
- 27:49Speaker 2: I mean footwork and mechanics. You have to because there's
- 27:55Speaker 2: a lot of meat left on the bone coop.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Out of the fourteen drives we had in this game,
- 28:01Speaker 1: how many three an ounces did we have.
- 28:06Speaker 2: I don't think I marked that down, but I would
- 28:08Speaker 2: guess two.
- 28:10Speaker 1: We have four. We have four three and outs in
- 28:13Speaker 1: the fourteen drives we had, which is crazy. That is
- 28:19Speaker 1: not what I would have thought would have come out
- 28:21Speaker 1: of this game in that and it all happened after
- 28:28Speaker 1: everything fell apart like before, No before we had no
- 28:32Speaker 1: three and outs. Nine plays thirty one yards, punt the ball,
- 28:36Speaker 1: eight plays fifty one yards. Let me show you what
- 28:39Speaker 1: I'm looking at. Eight plays fifty one yards touchdown. Six
- 28:43Speaker 1: plays thirteen yards field go, mainly because you know you
- 28:46Speaker 1: had to get some good, good, good field positioning, which
- 28:50Speaker 1: I thought Owen had almost blocked that point would have
- 28:54Speaker 1: been great. Eight plays thirty six yards touchdown. Again, Remember
- 28:59Speaker 1: the one thing that we and this field goal only
- 29:01Speaker 1: happened because we got a penalty. We don't have to
- 29:05Speaker 1: kick that field go if we don't get we don't
- 29:06Speaker 1: go third and like eight million, because we get a
- 29:08Speaker 1: penalty on third and two. Right, little things you had
- 29:14Speaker 1: that Now I've seen people ask the question of why
- 29:16Speaker 1: X Tribe only ran the ball three times in this game.
- 29:19Speaker 1: I'm not sure if y'all noticed. The dude was limping
- 29:22Speaker 1: a lot. That's why he didn't run the ball more
- 29:25Speaker 1: than three. That's why Torrey was running it the most
- 29:26Speaker 1: of the time. Because X Tribe the knee just wasn't ready.
- 29:29Speaker 1: The knee wasn't back to where he wanted. He had
- 29:31Speaker 1: the brace on at moments he was flying. And what's
- 29:36Speaker 1: funny was Materi throwing him that pass wasn't a surprise
- 29:40Speaker 1: to me because remember on the drive where we got
- 29:44Speaker 1: the first touchdown where Materi ran it in for a touchdown.
- 29:48Speaker 1: He threw that pass to x rob across the middle
- 29:50Speaker 1: and x Roby ran it all the way to like
- 29:51Speaker 1: the three yard line. Major field life, there's some confidence there, right,
- 29:56Speaker 1: major understand why, Oh I see why you threw him
- 29:59Speaker 1: the ball because he was looking pretty darn good. But
- 30:03Speaker 1: then you figured out, oh way, he really isn't as
- 30:05Speaker 1: healthy as you wanted him to be. Just didn't end
- 30:08Speaker 1: up being the way you wanted it. Dion Burks gives
- 30:11Speaker 1: you seven catches for eighty for one hundred and seven
- 30:14Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Dog he was getting wide open
- 30:17Speaker 1: like and ma Teir was also layering the hell out
- 30:20Speaker 1: of those passes, like layers in the wind. That was
- 30:26Speaker 1: the thing we were concerned about. It's gonna be a
- 30:28Speaker 1: little windy, gonna little gross. That dude was layering passes.
- 30:32Speaker 1: So my entire take on all this is, it's something
- 30:37Speaker 1: to grow off of. I had mentioned it before. I
- 30:39Speaker 1: did a video on this. Shout out to my guy
- 30:43Speaker 1: Very and who is it? Ryan Chapman over there at
- 30:49Speaker 1: Sooner's on SI and Barry Trantham. He he pointed out
- 30:54Speaker 1: how OC's and quarterbacks first years in the SEC is
- 30:59Speaker 1: used a kind of a struggle and then the next
- 31:02Speaker 1: year they see a pop. I've talked about it with Pavia.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Pavia's first year the SEC, twenty two hundred yards passing,
- 31:08Speaker 1: he ran like seven hundred yards, eight hundred yards, but
- 31:12Speaker 1: he wasn't really throwing a whole bunch of passes. Uh,
- 31:15Speaker 1: he didn't throw a lot of passing yards. This year
- 31:17Speaker 1: he got the thirty one hundred. You saw the jump.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Him and Tim Beck figured out how to go approach
- 31:22Speaker 1: these SEC defensive coordinators did better. So yeah, that's what
- 31:31Speaker 1: you got. It was. I think that next year they'll
- 31:35Speaker 1: look a lot better. Plus you'll probably have more wide receivers.
- 31:37Speaker 1: I actually expect them to spin pretty heavy and try
- 31:43Speaker 1: to get some additional wide receivers in the portal.
- 31:48Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, Burke's best games since the Michigan game.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Yeah, felt over again.
- 31:56Speaker 2: He definitely I mean some of those plays on the
- 31:58Speaker 2: on the sideline, uh, the one where he literally snatches
- 32:02Speaker 2: the ball two and a half yards out of bounds,
- 32:06Speaker 2: And I mean I did not I thought they were
- 32:08Speaker 2: going to overturn that. I didn't. I didn't think that
- 32:11Speaker 2: was gonna be a you know. I was like, I'll
- 32:13Speaker 2: either my crimson colored glasses were hoping that it would
- 32:18Speaker 2: be inconclusive. But I just did not feel that that
- 32:21Speaker 2: was going to go down. Yeah, I I mean, let's
- 32:26Speaker 2: let let's talk offensive line because I think that that's
- 32:29Speaker 2: a big piece too.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Buddy. I have to give Kane Womack props. Yeah, I
- 32:38Speaker 1: have to give him props. We started the game whipping
- 32:43Speaker 1: their tail. After EPL got that penalty, Kane got smart.
- 32:53Speaker 1: Know what he did. It's like, God, there's two freshmen
- 32:55Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. Let me start doing
- 32:57Speaker 1: some twists and stunts. So he go right at them.
- 33:00Speaker 1: The first time wouldn't be successful. The next time, he'd
- 33:04Speaker 1: do a twist and stunt, and I saw EPL turned
- 33:07Speaker 1: around like two or three times, and I was like, dang,
- 33:10Speaker 1: freshman technique. Isn't that what they were saying about him?
- 33:13Speaker 1: He get that technique down he'd be good it.
- 33:19Speaker 2: And I also say this, I mean you go back
- 33:21Speaker 2: to say Beyond Bird, you go to EPL multiple times
- 33:25Speaker 2: this year. You can go when you see a guy
- 33:29Speaker 2: who kind of loses his cool, he's all of a
- 33:33Speaker 2: sudden got a pretzel in his head, you know, to
- 33:36Speaker 2: quote the great Ricky Bobby. But I think that the
- 33:45Speaker 2: moment right after that, it was all right, let's send
- 33:48Speaker 2: some twists at him, because he's going to be thinking,
- 33:51Speaker 2: all right, man, I can't be out of control. I
- 33:53Speaker 2: can't be out of control. I can't be out of control.
- 33:55Speaker 2: And it just went on from there.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Yep.
- 33:58Speaker 2: I mean, you got three freshmen out there. You've got
- 34:01Speaker 2: a guy playing his second career game at center and
- 34:06Speaker 2: Jake Sexton, who are not Jake Sexton but Simmons, who
- 34:10Speaker 2: is uh, you know, one thump away from back in protocol.
- 34:16Speaker 2: They came out and they dictated everything. Yep, they absolutely
- 34:20Speaker 2: dic dictated everything. But I will say this is is
- 34:25Speaker 2: well Mac. I mean, he decided, right, this is what
- 34:28Speaker 2: we're gonna do. We're going to turn this situation back.
- 34:31Speaker 2: We are going to uh, We're going to put them
- 34:35Speaker 2: in conflict every damn snap of the game. Yep. They
- 34:38Speaker 2: started throwing the house at materr and freshmen were blocking
- 34:46Speaker 2: and then they would look like freshmen, but it was
- 34:48Speaker 2: they were never winning.
- 34:50Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, those last those four drives, it was like
- 34:53Speaker 1: basically it was in a five drive span. We had
- 34:58Speaker 1: four to three and out and then we had the
- 35:00Speaker 1: touchdown in the middle. It was two three and outs
- 35:02Speaker 1: in a row. Then we scored our touchdown after fifty
- 35:05Speaker 1: came out. We'll talk about that in a bit too,
- 35:07Speaker 1: and then he we went three and out again, and
- 35:11Speaker 1: that's what it was. There was a drop pass by
- 35:13Speaker 1: Setania that should have been the first down, right, you
- 35:17Speaker 1: get penalties that come out of nowhere and you're like
- 35:20Speaker 1: craph it was at the uh our freshman struggled in
- 35:25Speaker 1: this game for the most part, Like Fasusi was fine overall,
- 35:28Speaker 1: Foget was not getting to the second level fast enough.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Some of those runs could have been a lot faster
- 35:33Speaker 1: if he was. If he was up there, he's a
- 35:35Speaker 1: much better tackle. I think he's gonna be just fine
- 35:37Speaker 1: at tackle, but at guard he was not hitting that
- 35:40Speaker 1: next level at all, and you could see it. And
- 35:43Speaker 1: when he was pulling, it was like he's just not
- 35:45Speaker 1: getting there fast. Enough dudes because they're I mean, you
- 35:47Speaker 1: gotta remember Alabama's got talent. That's the thing you got
- 35:49Speaker 1: to remember about playing in the SEC. Like they've got
- 35:52Speaker 1: edges and tackles and stuff that run four fives, four fours,
- 35:56Speaker 1: four sixes, four sevens. Right, they've got fast dudes, so
- 35:59Speaker 1: you've got to be able to get there. He wasn't
- 36:02Speaker 1: when he played tackle. He didn't have to worry about
- 36:04Speaker 1: that part, right, He was just cleaning up people, and
- 36:07Speaker 1: he was good. He was missing on some, Foget was
- 36:09Speaker 1: missing on some. That's where you're like, all right, you'll
- 36:13Speaker 1: see the growth out of them next season. You'll you
- 36:16Speaker 1: won't have wey Woo in the middle anymore, but you'll
- 36:17Speaker 1: have my club. She should be healthy at that point,
- 36:21Speaker 1: getting past all his elements. Now he'll block in the middle.
- 36:24Speaker 1: Right guard is the question. Who's gonna play right guard.
- 36:27Speaker 1: I'm Sentsens gonna be Heath. I think Heith will be
- 36:30Speaker 1: good there. You may portal in someone just in case two,
- 36:35Speaker 1: but right tackle Fojet is gonna be good for Susi's
- 36:37Speaker 1: gonna be good at left tackle, and epl will get
- 36:40Speaker 1: his technique down. He needed more film to see ay
- 36:43Speaker 1: Man when they do that, don't turn this way, try
- 36:47Speaker 1: to put bump and come back, because that's when you're
- 36:51Speaker 1: gonna be able to catch a stunt or a quick
- 36:54Speaker 1: or a switch or a flip. There were so many dings,
- 36:56Speaker 1: spin moves done. Dog. I was so impressed at how
- 37:00Speaker 1: they change the way they were attacking and that that's
- 37:06Speaker 1: that's just the game is the game, right. The good
- 37:08Speaker 1: thing is they'll have this defensive line to polish them
- 37:12Speaker 1: here in the off season, because I'm very confident that
- 37:15Speaker 1: this DAL line is gonna look just as good, if
- 37:17Speaker 1: not better, next season.
- 37:19Speaker 2: And I mean I will I will also say that
- 37:24Speaker 2: you're gonna you're probably looking to bring in some competition
- 37:30Speaker 2: this year. I mean, it's we've seen the injury reports
- 37:34Speaker 2: all year long. When you got four guys on there
- 37:38Speaker 2: day there every week, and then when Simmons was out
- 37:40Speaker 2: with the concussion stuff. You know, having five guys, it's
- 37:43Speaker 2: the same situation. When you're reliant on guys who are
- 37:47Speaker 2: never reliable, that's that's tough. And so you get an
- 37:52Speaker 2: opportunity to uh portal in somebody else who can get
- 37:56Speaker 2: in here and really really make a make a competition. Yeah,
- 38:04Speaker 2: I mean, I still say this Jay is as bad
- 38:07Speaker 2: as the game feels. I think there's I got two
- 38:11Speaker 2: points and then we can move on to the next.
- 38:13Speaker 2: But number one, if you're a if you're an OU fan,
- 38:19Speaker 2: you let fandom make some things happen to your brain.
- 38:24Speaker 2: You can start this year hoping for eight wins, you know,
- 38:28Speaker 2: delusional nine, But what if ten? And then you get
- 38:33Speaker 2: to the playoffs. You've already beat this team. You know
- 38:36Speaker 2: that you're getting healthier, and it happened to the best
- 38:40Speaker 2: of us. Unless you are a doom, you're going to
- 38:45Speaker 2: sit there and say we already beat Alabama, let's let's
- 38:49Speaker 2: let's move on. And then you're like, well, we can
- 38:52Speaker 2: beat that next team too, And then you know, I
- 38:54Speaker 2: think we can beat anybody. The fact is I still
- 38:56Speaker 2: think this team could bet anybody in the playoffs. Yeah,
- 39:01Speaker 2: I still do. Now you get one shot, you get.
- 39:04Speaker 1: One shot, one one.
- 39:06Speaker 2: But the reason why that a lot of us are
- 39:09Speaker 2: frustrated right now is because we saw more will Yeah, yes,
- 39:15Speaker 2: I'll fast forward this. Say we come to turn around
- 39:18Speaker 2: the punt the fate, the punt situation never happens. Ex
- 39:22Speaker 2: Rob catches the ball and runs it in. All of
- 39:25Speaker 2: us are gleaning to us making it to the next round,
- 39:31Speaker 2: not Indiana, but the next round. And if we would
- 39:34Speaker 2: have had this type of game against Indiana, we would
- 39:37Speaker 2: have felt it again. We would we'd be having the
- 39:39Speaker 2: same situation conversations. It did not matter where we lost,
- 39:44Speaker 2: if you had a breakdown on your special teams, if
- 39:48Speaker 2: you had to break down in areas that you thought,
- 39:50Speaker 2: we don't even need to pay attention to those because
- 39:52Speaker 2: those things are solid. Yep, we had have had this,
- 39:54Speaker 2: we'd have had this, you know response, I'm not saying
- 39:58Speaker 2: that you shouldn't be from straight and I'm not saying
- 40:00Speaker 2: you shouldn't be pissed. I'm not saying I'm not saying
- 40:04Speaker 2: that you should take a double take at your oh
- 40:07Speaker 2: you year because you're not sure if you really want
- 40:09Speaker 2: to wear it out into the streets, you know, quite yet.
- 40:12Speaker 2: But I still am really really happy with what happened
- 40:17Speaker 2: this entire year. It was it was, this was tough.
- 40:21Speaker 2: This was a tough game, especially coming out. You know.
- 40:24Speaker 2: One of my buddies said, well, I mean, at least
- 40:26Speaker 2: we wasn't like the Bama Kyler Murray game to where
- 40:28Speaker 2: you just get your butt handed to you up front
- 40:31Speaker 2: and then make it kind of look like you were
- 40:34Speaker 2: going to have a chance at the end, or or
- 40:38Speaker 2: the TCU TCU Michigan game, you know, or is it Georgia,
- 40:44Speaker 2: George Georgia, You'll just absolutely get Railroads game like you
- 40:51Speaker 2: should be sick, and that the reason why I say
- 40:55Speaker 2: you should be sick is because you had expectations. You
- 40:58Speaker 2: now have a feeling of what this team can be
- 41:01Speaker 2: and it didn't happen. And I'm not gonna put I'm
- 41:05Speaker 2: not gonna say Brent Vinnables should be the you know,
- 41:10Speaker 2: she should be fired.
- 41:10Speaker 1: Oh, we've already got people already said he should be fired,
- 41:13Speaker 1: and we got our favorite person has been saying it
- 41:15Speaker 1: all day, which I did. I said, I'm not gonna
- 41:17Speaker 1: call anybody stupid today, but our favorite person has been
- 41:19Speaker 1: saying it all day and it makes no sense. But yeah,
- 41:21Speaker 1: that people have already been starting to say, like, you
- 41:24Speaker 1: got the defense you want it. Unfortunately it just this
- 41:27Speaker 1: this game, it didn't hit the way you wanted to.
- 41:29Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's there's something to grow on. Your
- 41:32Speaker 1: d line should be all back. You'll you're one of
- 41:35Speaker 1: your better young edges. Is actually both of your better
- 41:40Speaker 1: young edges will be back. We're gonna talk about the
- 41:43Speaker 1: transfer portal because that's gonna make some changes here, especially
- 41:47Speaker 1: since Kobe hits the portal, But your secondary is gonna
- 41:50Speaker 1: be intact. You've got a lot of things looking forward
- 41:53Speaker 1: to going forward. So because of that, we're gonna go
- 41:56Speaker 1: ahead and do that. First, I'm gonna go ahead and
- 41:58Speaker 1: make a couple of picks with our partner's over there
- 42:01Speaker 1: at Sleeper. If you have not checked them out for
- 42:03Speaker 1: Daily Fantasy Ball, y'all are missing out. Y'all know I
- 42:06Speaker 1: love what they be doing for us. And right now,
- 42:08Speaker 1: if you use our promo code unfair, they're gonna match
- 42:11Speaker 1: you at one hundred percent up one hundred dollars plus
- 42:13Speaker 1: give you twenty bucks just for checking them out, no
- 42:15Speaker 1: deposit needed. And so when we look at these picks themselves,
- 42:19Speaker 1: let's see, right now, the Ravens are playing the Patriots
- 42:24Speaker 1: tonight up that decided to go ahead and lose connection.
- 42:27Speaker 1: We'll wait for it to connect back to my air
- 42:28Speaker 1: real quick. Oh, I'm gonna take Derrick Henry of course
- 42:32Speaker 1: on the moors. I think he's gonna score in this
- 42:34Speaker 1: game just because he's Derrick Henry. He's a beast. I
- 42:36Speaker 1: don't think Lamar Jackson's gonna have a good game because
- 42:39Speaker 1: he's been struggling all season. But you know what, take
- 42:41Speaker 1: Drake May, because Drake May's gonna go out there and
- 42:43Speaker 1: cook Stefon Diggs. He's probably gonna throw it to him
- 42:46Speaker 1: a lot. Pick two or more players more or less
- 42:48Speaker 1: on the stats. Then you're in the game. Use a
- 42:50Speaker 1: promo code unfair. They're gonna match at one hundred percent
- 42:53Speaker 1: up to hundred dollars plus give you twenty bucks just
- 42:55Speaker 1: for checking them out. Terms of conditions apply. See Sleepers
- 42:57Speaker 1: Terms of use for details. Thank y'all for pulling up
- 43:01Speaker 1: at the light button. If you do to the chance, subscribe,
- 43:03Speaker 1: rate review, give us five stars. I want to start
- 43:04Speaker 1: with this though. You know one thing that made me excited,
- 43:07Speaker 1: made happy after the game is front office, eighty office whatever.
- 43:16Speaker 1: They actually listened to the fans, they listened to the players.
- 43:20Speaker 1: They freaking got fifty cent to pull up for this game. Now,
- 43:23Speaker 1: I saw and heard somewhere that fifty didn't make it
- 43:27Speaker 1: until like after halftime because of delays and stuff. Whether
- 43:31Speaker 1: something that dude showed up and actually performed. Alabama players
- 43:36Speaker 1: losing their mind because they like, we listened to it
- 43:37Speaker 1: on Fridays too, Like everybody's at the mindset of hard
- 43:40Speaker 1: to kill, many men wishing death on me, blah blah blah.
- 43:44Speaker 1: The good thing is right after that we go out
- 43:46Speaker 1: there and we score. So you're like, all right, we fighting,
- 43:49Speaker 1: We got our mindset. But I like the fact that
- 43:51Speaker 1: they did listen to them. I like the fact that
- 43:53Speaker 1: they leaned in on that they leaned in on the
- 43:55Speaker 1: grimy mindset, they leaned in on the Wedns ain't gonna
- 43:59Speaker 1: prett but we're gonna go by her and work our
- 44:01Speaker 1: butt win. We didn't get it this time, but most
- 44:03Speaker 1: of the season. The fact that they were able to
- 44:05Speaker 1: do that all year so proud. I'm proud that they
- 44:08Speaker 1: were able to fight and get ten wins after when
- 44:11Speaker 1: your quarterback's hurt for most of the season and you
- 44:14Speaker 1: look very pedestrian because of it, Like that made me proud.
- 44:18Speaker 1: I that to me, I'm satisfied with I.
- 44:23Speaker 2: You know, I heard the rumor obviously a little while ago,
- 44:30Speaker 2: and then I thought that it would be a great idea,
- 44:35Speaker 2: and then I was like, I will believe it for real,
- 44:39Speaker 2: for real? Would I see it when he actually steps out?
- 44:42Speaker 2: I actually since you know, send a lot of text
- 44:45Speaker 2: messages like hey, apparently this thing's gonna happen, and people
- 44:48Speaker 2: were calling me out and saying I was like, here's
- 44:50Speaker 2: the thing, like we've been wanting. We've been wanting something
- 44:56Speaker 2: like like just something that you could really feel and
- 44:59Speaker 2: rally behind all year long. I mean you think about
- 45:04Speaker 2: like the beginning of the season with the Toby Keith stuff,
- 45:06Speaker 2: and God blessed Toby Keith and he's great for this program.
- 45:10Speaker 2: But you just can't get hyped on Red Solo Cup.
- 45:14Speaker 2: I'm sorry, unless you were drinking with your buddies, like.
- 45:17Speaker 1: Yeah, we're drinking'll get some going.
- 45:21Speaker 2: That's you know, if we're playing beer pong and this
- 45:24Speaker 2: is a Marty Girl type of party, the hell, yeah,
- 45:27Speaker 2: let's do it. But getting fifty in there, I mean
- 45:31Speaker 2: that's just kind of a cool thing because I mean,
- 45:35Speaker 2: you're you're out there on a Friday night fifty cents
- 45:37Speaker 2: showing up and then I mean, let's just can we
- 45:42Speaker 2: can we be honest? This was the best.
- 45:44Speaker 1: Game of the four Oh yeah, hundred percent.
- 45:48Speaker 2: It's not even in competition. Like Daughter, and I'll say
- 45:52Speaker 2: this I had I was kind of forced to be
- 45:55Speaker 2: disconnected on Saturday from football just in general, had like
- 46:00Speaker 2: a four game soccer tournament, and so I'm outside hanging
- 46:05Speaker 2: out with my kids, you know, you know, choosing to
- 46:07Speaker 2: be a be a father and uh a kid had
- 46:11Speaker 2: you know, my son had had my phone at one point,
- 46:15Speaker 2: and and so I grabbed it. I grabbed it, and
- 46:19Speaker 2: I was looking at my phone and I see like
- 46:21Speaker 2: second quarter zero zero, and I was like, what is this.
- 46:26Speaker 2: I was like, where's my phone? Not updating? And so
- 46:28Speaker 2: like I went to like I literally went to three
- 46:30Speaker 2: different browsers just to make sure that it was like
- 46:32Speaker 2: maybe it's ESPN. So I'm asking Syrian and I'm doing
- 46:35Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff, you know, uh, sacrifice the life chicken,
- 46:39Speaker 2: just to see if I could get my stuff to
- 46:41Speaker 2: start working. I mean that game was well, like I'm
- 46:44Speaker 2: a as a pitcher, I love watching a no hitter,
- 46:48Speaker 2: but when you're watching a football game and you're just like, hey,
- 46:51Speaker 2: this is supposed to be two offenses that could you know,
- 46:53Speaker 2: really ball out, And then watching the other two games
- 46:56Speaker 2: like this game to sew Ubama game was still the
- 46:58Speaker 2: best game of the weekend.
- 47:00Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a good stuff.
- 47:03Speaker 2: I mean, you got that going for you.
- 47:07Speaker 1: Yeah, you had that on top of that. Like I was,
- 47:14Speaker 1: I was happy that we played well enough to possibly win.
- 47:19Speaker 1: We just did we just you know, the foot as usual.
- 47:23Speaker 1: I do want to say, for those of you that
- 47:26Speaker 1: did win the contest of the shirts, I ain't seen
- 47:29Speaker 1: none of y'all post that on socials. What were doing here?
- 47:33Speaker 1: Huh huh? Where the love? Why ain't y'all post pictures
- 47:39Speaker 1: own the Socials? But anyway, besides that part transfer Portal
- 47:47Speaker 1: wish list, I'm gonna post something on our comments. I
- 47:50Speaker 1: want y'all to tell me who y'all want out of
- 47:52Speaker 1: the portal, who you see, who you like, who you wont.
- 47:54Speaker 1: You can post a link, you can do all of
- 47:55Speaker 1: that stuff. You can do that. I want you to
- 47:58Speaker 1: do it to me. But we're gonna start off with
- 48:00Speaker 1: this main one. Kobe McKenzie has entered the transfer portal
- 48:03Speaker 1: and I've had so many people pink me and ask me, Jay,
- 48:07Speaker 1: what the heck why is he hitting the portal? And
- 48:14Speaker 1: I'm gonna be one hundred percent honest. He played twelve
- 48:22Speaker 1: snaps on Friday. Samuel A Sigo played twelve snaps on
- 48:31Speaker 1: Friday night. It was the Kip and Owen he Nike Show,
- 48:36Speaker 1: and right now we need to pray that Owen gets
- 48:39Speaker 1: his gets his his waiver, which I don't think he will.
- 48:45Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be one hundred percent transparent and honest,
- 48:47Speaker 1: I hate it. I don't think that they're gonna give
- 48:49Speaker 1: him that. Think they're gonna say, well, you played, You're
- 48:52Speaker 1: played over there at the at the Ohio States and
- 48:55Speaker 1: you did thee the lacrosse thing, so we can't give
- 49:00Speaker 1: you that. They're gonna they're gonna disrespect us. I hate it.
- 49:05Speaker 1: It sucks. It's probably what's gonna happen. But yeah, I
- 49:10Speaker 1: understand why Kobe decided to hit the portal for his
- 49:12Speaker 1: final year. He was either going to the NFL or
- 49:17Speaker 1: after one full season for Jim Naggy in his entire
- 49:20Speaker 1: front office. I promise you, I think they've gone through
- 49:24Speaker 1: with a fine two comb through a full evaluation of
- 49:27Speaker 1: who's on there, and said, these are the players we
- 49:29Speaker 1: need to target in the portal to fit exactly what
- 49:31Speaker 1: you want to do on defense next year. If you
- 49:34Speaker 1: want to make a run, your quarterbacks a senior, you'll
- 49:38Speaker 1: have young quarterbacks right behind him that'll be ready to
- 49:41Speaker 1: come in if an injury does happen, you'll have a
- 49:44Speaker 1: running back that's a junior, a running back that's a sophomore.
- 49:46Speaker 1: You're bringing in one of the best running backs in
- 49:49Speaker 1: the country as a two freshman, so you'll have another
- 49:51Speaker 1: true freshman opportunity. They're probably gonna portal another running back
- 49:55Speaker 1: as well the wide receiver room. If they do, you
- 50:00Speaker 1: would right, they may talk Saitania into coming back at
- 50:04Speaker 1: him with your Michael Carter, who looked really good at
- 50:06Speaker 1: the end of season, especially in the Bama games. Yeah,
- 50:09Speaker 1: I'm telling you all of this to say, with the
- 50:12Speaker 1: secondary that we got and you get all that defensive
- 50:15Speaker 1: line back, they're gonna make a run for next year.
- 50:18Speaker 1: So him hitting the portal only makes me feel like
- 50:23Speaker 1: they didn't see him in next season's lineup getting much game.
- 50:28Speaker 1: That's it.
- 50:29Speaker 2: I mean, the conversation with the exit interviews are going
- 50:32Speaker 2: to be all right, So here's your role going into
- 50:36Speaker 2: the next season. I mean, and I'm just gonna go
- 50:38Speaker 2: with a looks the OKC thunder at the end of
- 50:42Speaker 2: the year. Last year, you started seeing this guy who
- 50:46Speaker 2: had been hurt all year start to really kind of
- 50:49Speaker 2: show some pop and going into that, you know, offseason.
- 50:55Speaker 2: You had to have those conversations with a lot of
- 50:57Speaker 2: different guys, like your roles going to diminish here. If
- 51:02Speaker 2: you want to stick around, we'd love to have you,
- 51:04Speaker 2: but this is your place. You're going to be the
- 51:06Speaker 2: rotation in linebacker. You're not going to be the starter
- 51:09Speaker 2: as a senior. And Kobe is a great leader on
- 51:13Speaker 2: this team, and I wish every ounce of great for him.
- 51:16Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, I have no animosity with this,
- 51:21Speaker 2: but it is it is a conversation and it's not
- 51:25Speaker 2: you know, I would rather them talk to him appropriately
- 51:30Speaker 2: and give him the layout of what it really is
- 51:32Speaker 2: probably going to look like. Say, these are the things
- 51:35Speaker 2: that I think that you can improve on. This is
- 51:37Speaker 2: what we need you to do. We don't think that
- 51:40Speaker 2: the improvement scale is going to put you there. So
- 51:43Speaker 2: at this point and Jay, I just want to throw
- 51:46Speaker 2: out another portal guy because hopefully he's listening with Kendall Dolby.
- 51:52Speaker 2: You know you and I broke down Kendall Dolby kind
- 51:54Speaker 2: of what happened, had that conversation about him, and then
- 51:57Speaker 2: Kendall sent me a message and he said, you know
- 52:02Speaker 2: a lot of people have crucified me on what I
- 52:06Speaker 2: did want the situation is, but you and Jay really
- 52:08Speaker 2: nailed it.
- 52:11Speaker 1: We knew the situation, man, it was. It really was
- 52:14Speaker 1: the depth chart. Kat five showed out. He got better.
- 52:19Speaker 1: I remember hearing at the beginning of the season KD
- 52:22Speaker 1: five was dealing with something with his achilles and that
- 52:25Speaker 1: was kind of slowing him up initially. He got healthy fast.
- 52:30Speaker 1: RP three started to look good. He's starting to look
- 52:33Speaker 1: like the player that we hoped he'd looked like. And
- 52:36Speaker 1: because of those two things, Adobe end up falling out
- 52:40Speaker 1: of the rotation. Your corner emerged with Courtland Guillery. Kobe
- 52:44Speaker 1: Johnson actually had to give you some great minutes. Eli
- 52:47Speaker 1: was solid. When Gentry was healthy, he was good. But
- 52:49Speaker 1: now he's not healthy, You're not getting much. Those shoulders
- 52:52Speaker 1: are done. I think they're done now, but every spot
- 52:56Speaker 1: that you would normally put them, Like our biggest thing
- 52:59Speaker 1: with Kendall Adobe, I expected him to play a lot
- 53:01Speaker 1: because Eli Bowen's ankle. That's when I was like, we're
- 53:05Speaker 1: probably gonna see a lot of kend Adobe at corner.
- 53:07Speaker 1: He played a little bit at corner to start the year.
- 53:10Speaker 1: But when Eli got back, Eli started looking like Eli again,
- 53:12Speaker 1: and You're like, dang, what do we do?
- 53:14Speaker 2: And what that does is that pushes Eli is a
- 53:17Speaker 2: true corner. I mean he's an All conference corner and
- 53:20Speaker 2: Kendall Dolby is having to shift back over to corner
- 53:23Speaker 2: while dealing with a lot of issues. And Gilroy like
- 53:28Speaker 2: Courtley Gillery, like hats off to you, son, like you
- 53:33Speaker 2: you bawled out and you got to be excited. So
- 53:37Speaker 2: these guys still want to play, especially for Dolby, especially
- 53:40Speaker 2: for for Kobe, because what has to happen. This is
- 53:47Speaker 2: your last year. You can't fulfill your dreams to go
- 53:51Speaker 2: to the NFL if you're playing twelve snaps a game.
- 53:54Speaker 2: You just can't. And so it is like, hey, listen,
- 53:57Speaker 2: if you want to do this, we we love you,
- 54:00Speaker 2: we support you, and I promise you this coaching staff
- 54:03Speaker 2: will give nothing but rave reviews to Kobe McKenzie. Oh yeah,
- 54:07Speaker 2: for any coaching staff that calls him up. Now, as
- 54:11Speaker 2: I said about Kiddell last week, I don't want your
- 54:14Speaker 2: ass on our schedule. I want you going somewhere else,
- 54:17Speaker 2: like know, somewhere else, and that I kind of said
- 54:19Speaker 2: that back to him, like hey man, I'll support you
- 54:21Speaker 2: wherever you go. Just don't want to see it in
- 54:22Speaker 2: the schedule, Like go somewhere else, because I don't want
- 54:26Speaker 2: every want to have to root against your brother. But
- 54:29Speaker 2: I you know, I think that Kobe goes in somewhere.
- 54:32Speaker 2: There's a couple of things in his game. You know,
- 54:34Speaker 2: he's going to be a guy that fits in an
- 54:35Speaker 2: appropriate system. But with what Brett Venmolls wants to do
- 54:39Speaker 2: in this defense, uh, you know, good Win, everybody that
- 54:43Speaker 2: you know, it's it's just the truth bomb that you
- 54:46Speaker 2: don't want to have to see. And I mean he
- 54:49Speaker 2: is a semi royalty of Oklahoma. Like I said, great
- 54:53Speaker 2: dude engaged to Kensey Hansen, right, Uh yeah, so like
- 54:59Speaker 2: the she's on the ad search committee like this, this
- 55:03Speaker 2: is this isn't a situation to where we're telling him,
- 55:06Speaker 2: you know, piss off, we don't we don't like you this. Yeah,
- 55:09Speaker 2: I'm like, we want to help you achieve your goals
- 55:12Speaker 2: and we think you can better do it. Go somewhere else.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Yeah. I can see him doing that, going home, going
- 55:15Speaker 1: closer to home or whatever where he's from. Down in Texas.
- 55:17Speaker 1: I mean, I see people are talking about Texas Tech.
- 55:20Speaker 1: I could see him hitting up TCU. There's a lot
- 55:23Speaker 1: of different options for them or whatnot. And Johnathan, this
- 55:25Speaker 1: is a great question. We don't know if Kip is gone.
- 55:29Speaker 1: We don't know. We don't know if Oh Now, I
- 55:32Speaker 1: don't think Owen's gonna get lucky because I hate the
- 55:34Speaker 1: NCAA and they always do that crap to players. So
- 55:37Speaker 1: there's a level of disrespect that I expect out of
- 55:39Speaker 1: the NCAA A. But Owen. We don't know if Owen's
- 55:43Speaker 1: gone yet. We have no clue. We'll find out in
- 55:46Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. But exactly and and and with
- 55:51Speaker 1: him being from with with Kip being from the Lubbock area,
- 55:55Speaker 1: you may go home and play for a year. He
- 55:57Speaker 1: may go somewhere else in SEC. Knowing him, there's a
- 56:00Speaker 1: very big possibility he may end up an SEC school
- 56:03Speaker 1: that we don't play because he's You're right, SMU, go
- 56:09Speaker 1: get some money, good money school. He fits a lot
- 56:13Speaker 1: of defensive modes. The problem here was just his coverage
- 56:19Speaker 1: wasn't the best. He didn't grade high in the coverage.
- 56:21Speaker 1: But the dude stopped runs and he did a great
- 56:24Speaker 1: job of being a general of directing everybody on the defense.
- 56:27Speaker 1: That's the reason why I want to keep him. But
- 56:29Speaker 1: I get it. He gonna he gonna, he gonna get
- 56:31Speaker 1: him some bread. He gonna get him some bread and
- 56:33Speaker 1: get him an opportunity to play the NFL. But I
- 56:36Speaker 1: do expect now that this entire front, because this is
- 56:40Speaker 1: the thing that and I remember, and Naggy told me
- 56:42Speaker 1: this himself, tell y'all something Naggy told me from when
- 56:45Speaker 1: I talked to him at SEC media days. They came in,
- 56:49Speaker 1: did a full eval of the roster, initially just an
- 56:51Speaker 1: initial through spring practice and everything, and they marked down
- 56:58Speaker 1: who they felt like was NFL ready, who's not. They
- 57:01Speaker 1: mark down who you're probably gonna need some help going
- 57:03Speaker 1: into the portal next year, who you want they would
- 57:06Speaker 1: get all of that. My anticipation is they took that
- 57:10Speaker 1: same material and used it to evowt throughout the season
- 57:14Speaker 1: to see how they play in real scenarios, in game scenarios,
- 57:19Speaker 1: and what does that look like. Now Because of that,
- 57:25Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot more people hitting the portal.
- 57:28Speaker 1: Goobe's not the only one that's He's not gonna be
- 57:30Speaker 1: the only surprise. Promise you that there's gonna probably be
- 57:33Speaker 1: at least three to five surprises that's gonna hit gonna
- 57:38Speaker 1: be like, whoa, that's a fan favorite. Fan favorite don't
- 57:42Speaker 1: mean anything. When your goals to go for natties, when
- 57:44Speaker 1: your goal is to go for deep playoff runs, they're
- 57:47Speaker 1: gonna push the limits. Now, we just gotta hope that
- 57:51Speaker 1: their collaboration between BV and Naggy in the front office
- 57:56Speaker 1: that they hit on all cylinders. So that's what you
- 58:02Speaker 1: can hope for. But my estimation, Coop, you can you
- 58:06Speaker 1: can you can speak on this as well. We gonna
- 58:08Speaker 1: see a good five plus players that're be like, dang,
- 58:11Speaker 1: we losing him, But I do I will say it safely.
- 58:15Speaker 1: I think the defensive line will be just fine.
- 58:19Speaker 2: And we have said this now for three years. Three
- 58:24Speaker 2: years ago, there's a lot of people you're like, hey,
- 58:26Speaker 2: so how many people are leaving? Because I mean, can
- 58:29Speaker 2: I help him pack? And then like last year it
- 58:31Speaker 2: was like, well, you know, Crimson missile hits the portal
- 58:34Speaker 2: and you're like, oh man, that's situation. Yeah, But then
- 58:39Speaker 2: there are other guys like can I Walker hits the
- 58:41Speaker 2: portal and you're like, I mean he played well for
- 58:45Speaker 2: us at times. And then now and it's going to
- 58:48Speaker 2: be even worse next year. There's going to be people
- 58:50Speaker 2: who hit the portal that you're like, damn, it's either
- 58:54Speaker 2: guys that have been playing and we've just been waiting
- 58:57Speaker 2: for them to get some of that hype potential, and
- 59:01Speaker 2: then another situation where like you know, with Kobe, it's
- 59:05Speaker 2: like him leaving doesn't match up with what you're saying.
- 59:09Speaker 2: And uh and also Jonathan, I I think but between
- 59:12Speaker 2: Kobe and Kinsey's money, I think they got the money
- 59:15Speaker 2: down already, so I don't think they're gonna need a
- 59:16Speaker 2: big bag to pay for anything. But I do think
- 59:21Speaker 2: that you're you're trying to upgrade, right, you want to
- 59:25Speaker 2: get the what's best for your for your roster. It's
- 59:30Speaker 2: a situation Kobe's a better athletic and a slimmer window
- 59:36Speaker 2: kind of decision. As with oh, what's the defensive end?
- 59:42Speaker 2: Guy who played linebacker should have probably been played defensive end.
- 59:45Speaker 2: Transfer to Houston two years ago they used to oh
- 59:49Speaker 2: David Gebo, Yeah, same situation, just a lot less.
- 59:54Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people added the wrong spots. Yeah yeah, yeah,
- 59:57Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah.
- 59:58Speaker 2: So I mean you're trying to get to what you
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: want to, you want to optimize, you want to continue
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: to get better. Now this is a defense situation, Like
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: you said, defensive line completely, I feel like it's gonna
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: be fine. I think we're probably going to see a
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: couple of defensive backs potentially hit out that you would say,
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: hey man, they play made really good plays throughout the season.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: But with the way that we are running four or
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: five guys out at defensive back. You had Guillery, you
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: had Eli Bowen, you had Jacoba Johnson out there, didn't
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: you know Davon Jordan out there. A lot of these
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: guys are playing in big time you know moments and
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: they say, well I can I can do this. This
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: staff might not look at them and go, you know,
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: with what we want to pay them for the production,
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: they're going to ask for more. They're going to go
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: seek it out somewhere else. You're also going to see
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: the backside of that, where you're gonna see a guy
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: who balls out as a linebacker in another conference and
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: then says, hey, I'm hitting the transfer portal and I'd
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: love to go play for that defense. Because the amount
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: of shine that so many guys got on this defense,
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: that's attractive to a lot of people.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: It is because that's what everybody's the spotlight is everybody's
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: watching it, and that's what NFL scouts are looking at.
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: Naggy is making sure to point out that stuff, and
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: you know, NFL team is looking like, I want to
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: holler at their defense. I want to holler at those
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: defenders they are because it's funny, like I did the
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: video on it and like it was spot on. Like
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: Colin Cowhert was talking about it with Josh Paid and
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: he was like, and he talked about how surprised he
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: was at Oklahoma, and it's surprised was that they looked
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: like an SEC school. They look like a team that's
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: in the SEC. Like the difference is is that you
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: really only had two schools that had high octane offenses
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: in the SEC. It was LSU and Alabama. Georgia's offense
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: was okay, was mainly led by their defense. Don't get
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: it twist. It was really a big defensive team that
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: had some offensive moments. But Bama, when Nick decided to
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: add his fifteenth offensive coordinator, he started to see changes
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: and evolutions in their offense. That's when he had Alanine Kffing,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: and then he saw the offense look different, but his
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: defense was always stout. That's where we're at now. We
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: just need to get the other side of the ball going,
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: and I feel like we'll have a jump. When Vanderbilt
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: got Tim Beck as well as Diego Paviam they went
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: from the two wins to seven, huge jump for them.
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: Right then year two they went to ten wins. We
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: went from our six to our ten. And this was
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: the first year of this offense being in the SEC.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: Now Buckle understands the simplicities of how he did it.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: Now he can make these adjustments. He knows people are open,
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: and now he needs to get John's eyes to that.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: John started finding open people. Those layered passes in that
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: game was growth. All quarterbacks won't hit everybody. And the
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: reason why all quarters won't hit everybody is because the
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: defenses set it up to where we're gonna leave that
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: dude open. But our jobs to get pressure on the
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: quarterbacks so he can't look over there. That's the goal,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: and we saw that in the way they get their
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: flips and stunts. They were putting enough pressure to where
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: Mattier couldn't get to He couldn't go through the full
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: progressions like he wanted to. But Baby, those layered passes
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: the Jamichael Carter one, the Dion Burks touchdown, actually both
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: Jamichael Carter's, the Dion Burks touchdown, the Jovanni Gibson catch,
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: he missed them on one, but he got them on
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: another one right with a layered pass. Cannick's layer pass.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: He caught the Xavier Robinson catch that he cost that
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: was right across the middle, and he ran it all
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: the way to the three. There was so many of those,
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: and people are wondering why was Matier running so much?
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: Because our running backs just was not there. That is
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: why you ran inventory Blaylock when you could. But having
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: that extra blocker in Blaylock as the runner helps matiir
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: find those little holes he did to get yards. The
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: struggle was real, you could tell. But the good thing
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: is Blaylock will be back next year. Ex probably back
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: next year. You'll have Jonathan Hatten coming in. Does zepphyn
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: Walker right, You're probably gonna portal in another running back.
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: It's gonna be some big stuff. Now, the question is
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: what are we gonna do with tighty end. I want
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: to see Treney Washington play, but it appears he wasn't ready,
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: So maybe we get him next year he's an athlete,
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: he's big, he's an athlete, but he gotta learn. He
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: got a block though, because dog Kanick was getting abused
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: in the blocking game, and I felt so bad.
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: For him and he and he was you know, Kannick
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: is going to be a guy who I mean, let's
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: let's just keep it real. Canick's not. I don't know
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: if Kanick's ever going to see it down in the NFL.
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: His his his big opportunity is probably special teams. But
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: and being I just don't see it though, because he's
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: Most people keep multiple tight ends are for run blocking packages.
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: And I think that the skill set you know, from
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: the running backs was hampered by injury but also by
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: just complete ineptitude on run blocking from the offensive line.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: Yep.
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: But now you've got at least four positions that are
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: are set for next year, you're going to be able
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: to those guys are going to have to absolutely work
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: on run blocking weekend week out from this point until
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: September next year. I think step September third is our
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: first game. But you got to find a tied end.
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: That's the that's kind of the missing piece, because when
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: you keep guys you know who linebackers' safeties. Nickels, whoever
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: is you know, got the you know the in as
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: the as the spy like, you're going to have to
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: do that. You're going to have to pay attention to
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: a tight end, who can run, block and who can
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: go out. We've seen a lot less talent, you know,
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: on other teams be successful tied in and Canic congratulations
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: again on the you know the the all sec Yeah listen,
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: if I get lit up. But Cannick if he can't,
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: if he can't block week in and week out right now,
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: he ain't doing it in the NFL, So thanks them talking.
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: I mean, if he if, if you put him on
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: a roster spot for a potential h back type of
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: a situation, sure, but I hope.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: I hope he does.
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: I would love to. I would absolutely love.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: In every way, shape or form. I know it's funny
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: people like I. I hope he does. I have been
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: rooting for Kannick from day one, just like you, Coop,
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: you have been a big supportive of his because of
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: just how well just we love what Canick has turned
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: into hate that we didn't get him a touchdown. But
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: you know it'll be all right. So from there. So
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: you got Dobe in the portal, you got Kobe in
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: the portal, you got Jaydon Gibson in the portal. That's
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: really your three starts. The question have been asked in there.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: Do we expect any coaching changes? Yes, yes, I do.
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: I expect some coaching chases on the offensive side of
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: the ball. The question's gonna be is who's going to
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: try to woo away Oklahoma's defensive guys. The anticipations there,
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: I have a bad feeling that somebody's gonna try. Remember
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: they tried with Bates and Chavis two seasons ago at
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: the end the last season, one of them that they
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: tried on him them as well. So keep your eyes
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: open on that. It's going to be some rumors and
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: stuff lying around on that. But I do anticipate offensive changes.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: I don't know what, but do I expect offensive changes.
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: Our vocal will be your OC for three years. He's
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: gonna get his full three years material be your quarterback
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: next season. The running back room is gonna probably get
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: a facelift. Wide receiver room may see a facelift. You're
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: gonna see some changes. Just know that, which is a
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: good thing. We kind of need it.
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: Let's see. I see, like Brandon Hall has had a
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: lot of courtship everywhere, so oh my god. But I
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: think that he is where he is, like I you know,
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: he really enjoys where he's at. I think that Javili
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: is probably one that I would expect a couple of
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: people give him an elevated opportunity not only to coach
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: at the defensive backs, but probably be a DC. I
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: got to think that Chavas is going to start getting
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: his getting his offers. Yep. Chavs has such a great
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: relationship and is so tight with BV that I really
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: don't think that it's quite yet because this was the
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: first year that like there's a lot of focus in
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: on what he's been doing. But I promise you if
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: Chavis is still in here's still here for the twenty
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: eight season, I would be very I mean I would
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: I'd put the odds very, very low. I think that
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: twenty seven is probably the year that he gets his big,
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: big offer. And I'm not saying, you know, it's a
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: Syracuse defensive coordinator. I'm talking about like a like an
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: Auburn or you know, a bigger program like that on
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: the offensive side of the ball. I know who we
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: all want on and I know who. And so there's
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: some of you out there that will say, everybody, everybody gone,
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: I tell you, when our buckle ain't going anywhere? Is
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: this year one? Dude? He finally hasn't. Yeah, he's year one.
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: He's got the opportunity to start, you know, to making it,
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: you know, putting some things together. To Marco, I, I
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: you know, I believe that a lot of people want
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: better out of the running backs. I think where a
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: lot of that has been his fault at times. I
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: don't think this year was really his fault. I would
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: also say, like we all, we all when we all
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: we want a new tight ends coach, like everybody does,
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: everybody absolutely does.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: Yeah it I'm a lift coaching staff. Figure that out.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: But yeah, we need to figure out the tight ends
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: we do. We really need to figure that out. Like
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: I want to see Trenade Washington. I need to see
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: him get developed. I need to see him on the field,
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: want to see him play. He's the one of the
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: young players watching him Carl Auburn. How much of an
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: athlete he is. He played corner as well. He can
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: do it. We need to get him the ball. Let
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: him go out there and be your your Gresham. Let
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: him go do that. We'll see how that goes.
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: But I like that last, you know, Emma Jones, that's
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: the last one. I don't need to you know, we
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: don't get they don't ask my vote. But a lot
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: of people will wonder, you know, where has been the
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: development of some of the wide receivers, because if it's
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: a you, we didn't have the right people. Uh, but Seitania,
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: you know, just made a lot of second first team
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: all SEC's. Yeah, Hatton, Hatton would be in there ever
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: single x.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: Robin Hadden would be running the ball every other play.
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: And then I had Toy blay Lied doing Wildcats to
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: mix it up.
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: I would, I would whatever needs to happen to get
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: you know, Tory uh and uh Tory's shoulder and ex
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: robs a little.
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: Bit all together wing tea baby, I'm gonna I'm gonna
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: go straight navy on him and just run it. Dan,
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: You're like, non stop, baby, let's go.
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: Yeah, but we've got I mean, there's gonna be some
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: stuff and yeah, Jerry Schmidt rumor out there as he
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: is retiring. If that ends up being the case, you know,
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: we'll see what happens from there. There's a lot of
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: guys out there. But mentioned to this a couple of
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: times recently, the SEC really struggled at tight ends this year.
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: There was not a lot of tight end tight end production,
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: So anybody who is worth their dime is going to
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: get offers, and you're not going to want to overpay
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: for a guy coming in from the tight end position
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: who is going to end up with twelve fifteen catches
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: at the end of the year because he's a really
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: good blocking tight end, Like that's gonna be it. But yeah,
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: get get get Jason Witten in here, and you know,
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: I think that works renting really well for Cooper Witten,
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: which I want to see him because I think he's
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: a badass linebacker, but also because my because my son's
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: name is Witten.
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. Wow, selfish, selfish.
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: I'll be selfish on that one. Hell yeah, I've told
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: you Coop.
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: Y'all shame Coop right now for that. No, actually, that's
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: probably all of y'all agree with him. So it's not
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: like I can I can actually shame this guy for
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: being this selfish. But no, I totally agree because Coop,
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: because yeah, yeah, he would be really really good.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: Having Alexander and Alexander and Witting together coming in in
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: the same class. Sign me.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: So, yeah, we're definitely dive into more recruiting and everything
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: because it's a lot going on with that now. No, no, no, no, Evan,
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: you shame Coop. We shame Coop here, we shame this man.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: But no, lastly, though, just keep your eyes open. I'm gonna,
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: like I said, I'm a creative post over on the
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: community here on YouTube asking for your wish list. Go
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: in there, feel free to add names, feel free to
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: add links to players that pop up in the transfer
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: portal that you want to we want us to talk about.
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: We'll scrub that every week to see what makes sense
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: and what possibilities are out there. Right now, everything happens
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: January second. That's when let me, oh, let me clarify
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: some things too. For the uninitiated, until Sanuary second is
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: when the portal opens. But for those that had coaching changes,
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: the moment your coach changes, the portal opens for you.
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: That's why you're seeing some people hit the portal now.
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: It's why you're seeing some players commit to other schools.
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: It's because their coaches have taken jobs and they and
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: then they've got a new coach in town. So there's
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: a long list of schools that have players that are portal.
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: That's why you're seeing all the Auburn kids now, because
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: they're actually eligible to hit the portal. So you know
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: that's the game. Be prepared for that. But January seconds,
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: when the floodgates open for everybody else, and then when
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: teams finish the collegewall playoffs, you'll see more. So, truth
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: be told, I don't know how many of those players
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: you're gonna actually want anyway, the ones that's gonna hit
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: the portal for the big schools that are deeper in
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: the playoffs, they're usually second and third stringers that you're
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: probably not gonna want touch anyway, unless you want them cheap.
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: Keep your eyes open on that. Keep your eyes open
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: own who y'all want everybody to go after? So Coop,
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: final words, you're gonna get out of here. Let everybody
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: enjoy their seven day evening.
