  Speaker 1: Back on the Yukon Football Coaches Show with Jim Moore.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: We're just talking about Joe Ferano on Saturday against Duke,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: and he's had a fabulous year. Uh, Jimmy started to
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: run the ball a little bit. He's taken off and
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: going downfield.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Some of that is decision making by him.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Obviously, you got to you got to make a call
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: when you have the ball in your hands and you
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: have to see the field. And Joe ran for sixty
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: or so yards and they were big ones. And you
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: talked about the two point conversion, which was a very
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: big part of the game. Uh, that's a difficult thing,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: is it for a guy that's pretty much a pocket passer,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: but he's able to pull the ball down and get
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: some key yardage running the ball.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I mean he puts a puts an added burden on
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: the defense. When your quarterback can get out and run,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: you have to pay a little bit more attention to
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: him than if it's just a pure pocket passer that's
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: going to get stuck inside. And Joe has the ability
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: to extend plays and still throw it.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: And now he's showing more and more win win it.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: He's not he's not reckless which I really appreciate.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: But when when the situation calls for it, you know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: he's done a good job with his legs and getting
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: us yards. And you know, the second that he breaks
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage and starts to run, I just
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: start yelling.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Get down, get down, get down, you know, because I don't.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Like quarterbacks, any quarterbacks taking hits, but especially the quarterback
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: that I get to coach.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: So yeah, really, but he's.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Done a really good job with that. Really, And you
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: mentioned decision making. He's an outstanding decision maker, and that's
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: part of making good decisions is knowing when.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: To pull it and how far to run before you
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: get down.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: We saw Skyler Bell last night at the Yukon basketball game,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and he got a great round of applause from the crowd.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: There eleven catches seventy one yards after the catch. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: don't know, Well, I'm running out of stuff to say
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: about this guy, but I just I'll take I'll talk
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: every day about him, the catches he made in the game.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I mentioned it to Lou Hanson. Actually we're gonna hear
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: from him in a little bit. I said, fifty to
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: fifty balls, Bell comes up with them all the time
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: he goes, they're not fifty to fifty balls.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: When they throw them towards him. And I've heard that.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a great comment.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I'd never heard. I've never heard of put that way.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: You know, Skyler. Listen, Skyler's got talent.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: We all know that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I think what separates him and why he's having a
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: good year is his attitude and his work ethic and
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the way he comes out every single day, whether it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: a practice of walkthrough with great intention to get better.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: And he worked very very hard this offseason on his
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: body and getting bigger and more physical, and it's paying off.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: He you know, I looked out Thursday last Thursday at
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: about six thirty and you know, I look over the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: indoor and Skyler was out there with his helmet on
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: catching the jugs, the jugs machine, you know that the
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: machine that throws the ball to him. And he was
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: out there for about a half hour catching on the jugs.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: So it doesn't just happen on Saturday without the work
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: that he puts in, you know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Friday and Sunday. And I just applaud him for maintaining
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: his focus and the commitment to the work ethic that
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: he has.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: No coaches talk about leadership quite a bit. We're talking
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to Jim Moore, Yukon football coach. That word's thrown around
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: quite a bit. But I always feel like when you
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: have a guy like Skyler Belt doing the things he
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: does at practice, and his teammates have told me this,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: they feed off that they feed off his work ethic
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and and that kind of stuff. We've seen that in
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: basketball with Andre Jackson and other players over the years,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: with Yukon recently. You can't discount how important that is,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: can you.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: No people talk about leadership.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Leadership comes in all forms, like Skyler is not a
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: big talker, Joe's not a big talker. Cam Edwards isn't
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: a big talker. Wes Hose not a big talker.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of going through some guys that I think
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: that our players see as leaders. But they demonstrate every
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: single day what our standard is, and they live it
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: and they enforce the caulture and people want to want
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: to emulate them, and they hold people to a high standard,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: and that's that's what being a good leader is. But Skyler,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: you know, when your teammates recognize your work ethic and
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: your commitment. That's what makes your leader, that's what that's
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: what makes you stand out. That's what people want to follow.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: That's who what people want to be like.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And it's contagious, isn't it. I Mean that's the part
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: of team sports when you get guys like that and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: they rub off on.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Everybody big time, big time. Yeah, I totally agretting. It's
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: really contagious. I mean everyone too. I'm going to if
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Skyler's doing it, I'm going to do it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm going to do it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Romelo Murphy had a nice game, five catches, one hundred
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and ten yards seventy after catch. Boy, what a what
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a second fiddle that guy is. I mean, you got
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Part A with Belle, you got Part.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: B with him.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: And I'm not categorizing so much, but it's just nice
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to have depth. And I mentioned that on the broadcast
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. You've been able to develop quality depth
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: on this roster and that's so key to success.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I mean having options is important offensively in your pass
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: game and your run game because it gives you a
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: wider variety of plays that you can call the people
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: that you can feature. If they're trying to take somebody away.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: And then you know, depth at the receiver position, depth
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: at the running back position, depth at the defensive line position.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: You know that's critical if you wanted guys to be
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: fresh and full go.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Late in the game.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: You know, you need to be able to substitute guys
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: in and not have any type of drop off. And
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: you know, we've been able to do that largely because
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: there's people in this community that have made a commitment
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: to Yukon football in this new age where you know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: finance has become a factor and we've been able to
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: add some really good players that either start or give
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: us depth. And so it's been a group effort. In
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: that group is everybody that supports Yukon football.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Got to ask you this coach, this is semantics. Now
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you mentioned it in your press conference. You said we
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: got to sweep the corners.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: What does it mean exactly?
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: So I heard that term long ago.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Just you know, you think about when you're in the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: kitchen as a kid and you know you want to
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: sweep the dirt in the corner because you don't really
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: want to reach down and you know, get every grain
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: out and you hope your mom doesn't see it, but eventually,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: you know, eventually they noticed it. So to me, sweeping
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: the corners just taking care of every little detail. It's
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: getting every little grain of sand off the floor, it's
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: getting down on your knees, and it's you know, putting
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: your finger in the corner and making sure that you
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: pull everything out of that corner so that the floor
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: is absolutely perfectly clean. And I actually stole it from
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Herm Edwards. I heard HERM say it. I'll probably say fifteen,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: maybe twenty years ago. I heard HERM say you got
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: to sweep the corners and I asked him about it,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure he doesn't remember it, and I've just
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: used it since. You know, it's just a metaphor for
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: taking care of the details.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: That's great. And my dad was in the grocery business.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I worked for him for a while before I got
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: into broadcasting. He used to say stuff like that and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what he was talking about. Now I'm
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: getting it years later. I mean, it really builds confidence
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: in a team because they know we got the details covered.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: There's nothing you know that we're not going to know
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: about when we get in this game.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: When you go on the field, knowing that you've done
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: everything humanly possible to prepare yourself to win, you can
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: cut it loose and you can play with confidence and
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: you can play fearless and so every week that's our goal.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And more with us, a couple more minutes with him.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Got to take a time out.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back with more of the Yukon Football
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Coaches Show on lear Field.
