1:34
Speaker 1: This sport's program brought to you by Central Texas Sports Medicine.
1:38
Speaker 1: We've got a big show lined up. We're gonna hear
1:41
Speaker 1: from Mike Elko, we are going to hear from Marcel Reid.
1:45
Speaker 1: We are going to hear from Kaylin to Boor. We
1:48
Speaker 1: are going to hear from Tory Edwards as she gets
1:53
Speaker 1: ready to play in the AUSL playoffs that are at
1:59
Speaker 1: Davis Dye in tomorrow night and then Saturday, Sunday and
2:04
Speaker 1: if needed, Monday. As far as what is going on
2:12
Speaker 1: with the tournament there, She's been doing lots of games
2:18
Speaker 1: as a broadcaster, but she gets to play on her
2:20
Speaker 1: home field again. So we will talk with Tory Vedallas
2:24
Speaker 1: coming up here in the first half hour of the show.
2:27
Speaker 1: But first let's get to the sports headlines. As lots
2:33
Speaker 1: going on, some of it having to do with SEC football.
2:40
Speaker 1: We will hear from Kaylin to Board as Alabama does
2:45
Speaker 1: not have a quarterback and that is the question of
2:49
Speaker 1: the day for all the Alabama fans and the head
2:52
Speaker 1: coach that Keelan Russell and Austin Mack are in a
2:56
Speaker 1: competition going into fall camp. It's going to lead to
3:00
Speaker 1: a tough decision, yes, because one will play and one
3:06
Speaker 1: will leave. Now, they won't leave immediately, and they may
3:10
Speaker 1: play in a couple three games, but at some point
3:13
Speaker 1: in time whoever loses the quarterback competition there is going
3:17
Speaker 1: to decide to leave Alabama because you're not going to
3:26
Speaker 1: have the runner up there stay with the program. It's
3:33
Speaker 1: just not how it happens anymore. Also, today Pete Golden
3:41
Speaker 1: was on the stands and meeting the press and said
3:47
Speaker 1: that not really anything, no problems with him and Lane
3:54
Speaker 1: Kiffen after leaving LSU and then Golden getting the and
4:00
Speaker 1: not following him to LSU. So the interesting note from
4:08
Speaker 1: that today was that he purchased one of Lane Kiffin's
4:13
Speaker 1: houses in Oxford, Mississippi.
4:16
Speaker 2: So how about that.
4:19
Speaker 1: That's not the first time that's happened, it won't be
4:22
Speaker 1: the last.
4:24
Speaker 2: But you see that.
4:27
Speaker 1: Those guys still have a pretty decent relationship. John Summer,
4:33
Speaker 1: al new Florida head coach, talking about his quarterback battle
4:40
Speaker 1: between Aaron Filo and Trammel Jones Junior.
4:45
Speaker 2: Well, let's not cast.
4:47
Speaker 1: Any shade on these guys before they've ever done anything
4:51
Speaker 1: for Florida really, but the comment is they don't have
4:57
Speaker 1: to be Tim Tebow. Florida hasn't had a Tim Tebow
5:04
Speaker 1: since Tim Tebow, so of course they don't have to
5:08
Speaker 1: be Tim Tebow. I mean they ran they basically, Florida
5:14
Speaker 1: had a guy that they thought was going to be,
5:19
Speaker 1: you know, the next coming, and now he's playing for
5:23
Speaker 1: the Baylor Bears.
5:25
Speaker 2: So you don't know.
5:30
Speaker 1: What the future holds other than you know, probably one
5:35
Speaker 1: of those guys we'll check out.
5:39
Speaker 2: It's just kind of the way it goes.
5:42
Speaker 1: But to say that you don't have to be Tim Tebow,
5:46
Speaker 1: it's certainly good because I would think that you would
5:51
Speaker 1: just want to find somebody that could be DJ Lagway,
5:56
Speaker 1: who wasn't terrible for Baylor. I mean for Florida. It
6:01
Speaker 1: just that you know, had some health issues. But a
6:08
Speaker 1: two year starter nineteen starts, forty one yards, twenty eight touchdowns,
6:16
Speaker 1: twenty three interceptions, Well, let's see if the Big twelve
6:22
Speaker 1: can put out the cornerbacks that can intercept the ball
6:26
Speaker 1: like that. So I think he'll probably be better at Baylor.
6:32
Speaker 1: But Florida still trying to find a guy to replace him.
6:40
Speaker 1: Let's see who else is What's going on is the uh.
6:44
Speaker 2: Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros one last night? How
6:49
Speaker 2: about that?
6:51
Speaker 9: Now?
6:52
Speaker 1: The Rangers did it with a tend to nothing victory
6:55
Speaker 1: and the Astros held on and won five to four.
7:02
Speaker 1: But no, excuse me, it was not five to four.
7:05
Speaker 1: Let me go back. I'm thinking of the previous day
7:08
Speaker 1: where the Astros just held on, but it was ten
7:13
Speaker 1: to nothing for the Rangers, and the Astros came out
7:16
Speaker 1: on top with a five to three victory. Josh Hater
7:24
Speaker 1: got his eleventh save of the year EMI with his
7:29
Speaker 1: best pitching performance and lowered his ERA to five point
7:33
Speaker 1: sixty nine for the Astro six and four now, but
7:37
Speaker 1: he only gave up one run and the time that
7:41
Speaker 1: he was out there and looked much better for the Rangers.
7:45
Speaker 1: The Rangers Rocker got the victory three and eight now
7:51
Speaker 1: with a four point one to three ERA and first
7:56
Speaker 1: save of the year for Gonzales as the Rangers take
8:00
Speaker 1: him back over first place from Seattle and the Astros
8:06
Speaker 1: are three games back. So the Rangers are fifty one
8:09
Speaker 1: and fifty. The Mariners, who have lost one game now
8:14
Speaker 1: and lost first place are fifty one and fifty one
8:18
Speaker 1: and the Houston Astros are now forty nine and fifty four.
8:23
Speaker 2: Today they will see the Rangers.
8:31
Speaker 1: Run out Tyler Alexander to match up with Anthony Kaye
8:38
Speaker 1: against the White Sox. White Sox tied in first place
8:42
Speaker 1: with Cleveland, so two first place teams going at it,
8:46
Speaker 1: and then one more game for Houston and Miami Sandy Alcatra,
8:52
Speaker 1: who's pitching much better this year against Pete Lambert, who's
8:55
Speaker 1: been the astros most consistent starter. So the Astros are
9:00
Speaker 1: the favorite tonight and the White Sox are the favorite tonight.
9:03
Speaker 2: Kind of surprising there, but.
9:08
Speaker 1: Still a couple weeks from now, the Rangers are going
9:12
Speaker 1: to host Seattle, I believe, coming up shortly. As let
9:19
Speaker 1: me take a look at their full schedule coming up here.
9:24
Speaker 1: They are going to host Seattle after Chicago, so this
9:34
Speaker 1: last game against the White Sox tonight, then they'll play
9:37
Speaker 1: four games against Seattle, they'll play three games at leading
9:42
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, and then they'll play Houston. So a pretty
9:47
Speaker 1: tough stretch for the Texas Rangers. For the Houston Astros,
9:54
Speaker 1: not quite as the same kind of schedule coming up.
9:59
Speaker 2: As Houston. Who I think we have the game on
10:01
Speaker 2: it night, don't we.
10:02
Speaker 1: Let's see here twenty second, Yes, the Astros at six
10:06
Speaker 1: forty for pregame.
10:08
Speaker 2: The Astros.
10:10
Speaker 1: Will finish Miami, then they'll go to the White Sox,
10:16
Speaker 1: three games with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and
10:22
Speaker 1: then the Texas Rangers in Houston Friday, July thirty first,
10:28
Speaker 1: so all these teams starting to play each other a
10:30
Speaker 1: little bit. The Astros will host Seattle in mid August.
10:36
Speaker 1: They will they still have to play the Yankees. Three
10:41
Speaker 1: games at the Yankees followed by three games at New York.
10:44
Speaker 1: That's a long time in the Big Apple. And then
10:48
Speaker 1: the Astros have a two game series in September with
10:53
Speaker 1: Seattle and let's see if they play.
10:56
Speaker 2: The Rangers again.
11:00
Speaker 1: They do not, so in the next month the Astros
11:04
Speaker 1: are going to play all but the two games they
11:05
Speaker 1: have left between Texas and Seattle. That'll be pretty interesting
11:11
Speaker 1: to see what happens with that. So but we will
11:15
Speaker 1: have the Astros report coming up at four forty. It'll
11:20
Speaker 1: probably break up the time on the podium for Mike
11:24
Speaker 1: Elcho before we get to the Q and A session,
11:28
Speaker 1: and then the Rangers reports coming up in five forty,
11:32
Speaker 1: so that'll be everything we need to see on a
11:39
Speaker 1: busy day for the Rangers and the Astros. Grab a
11:44
Speaker 1: couple more headlines before we run to break here. The
11:52
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox fifteenth straight win.
11:56
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. They're going along great. They
11:59
Speaker 2: were terrible, just like I had them.
12:02
Speaker 1: But now they've matched the record for most consecutive wins
12:06
Speaker 1: in their history, which was nineteen forty six when Ted
12:13
Speaker 1: Williams came back from World War Two. Now that is
12:16
Speaker 1: crazy if you haven't done anything since Ted Williams came
12:21
Speaker 1: back from World War Two. Bobby Wittes is going to
12:27
Speaker 1: the IL and then one North thing. I think it
12:33
Speaker 1: was a week and.
12:34
Speaker 2: A day ago.
12:35
Speaker 1: Maybe it was two days ago, Maybe it was two
12:39
Speaker 1: weeks when we had heyesus ortis on and I called
12:44
Speaker 1: my shot and I thought, I said that. I thought
12:46
Speaker 1: Spain would beat France in the semifinals and then win
12:51
Speaker 1: the World Cup. Tremendous football and probably got a lot
12:58
Speaker 1: of new fans without all the poor play that Portugal
13:07
Speaker 1: had postmatch, very poor sportsmanship. And then we turn it
13:13
Speaker 1: around and unfortunately Argentina the exact same way. So it's
13:21
Speaker 1: very difficult to have something that good get spoiled. But
13:28
Speaker 1: the opportunity were there for to be even a little
13:30
Speaker 1: bit better. I didn't think Argentina, other than the magic
13:35
Speaker 1: of MESSI could do much to to get at Spain
13:39
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do it. At the time I made
13:43
Speaker 1: that call, I don't Spain had not allowed a goal.
13:46
Speaker 1: They allowed one in any match that they played in
13:52
Speaker 1: the World Cup. And that kind of domination leads to
13:56
Speaker 1: you being world champs. Kind of reminded me of the
14:01
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears and their defense in nineteen eighty five. If
14:06
Speaker 1: you're just so good at it, defense can still go
14:11
Speaker 1: out there and.
14:11
Speaker 2: Win you championships.
14:14
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna run the break. We're gonna hear
14:17
Speaker 1: from Chip about it all. Is it a is it
14:20
Speaker 1: a live spot with Chip on Anco?
14:22
Speaker 3: No?
14:22
Speaker 2: Just okay, all right, and.
14:24
Speaker 1: Then we come back. We'll be waiting to hear from
14:27
Speaker 1: Tory Vedallas. She is out meeting the press there at
14:31
Speaker 1: Davis Diamond, getting ready for practice tonight at six o'clock

15:40
Speaker 13: Mischar Thank you, thank you so much for joining us
15:42
Speaker 13: with one of the frustrations for me as this effort
15:45
Speaker 13: to create this villainous perspective like we're the ones that
15:49
Speaker 13: shouldn't be listened to and we just need a common
15:52
Speaker 13: sense explanation and so we had ten really ten common
15:55
Speaker 13: sense issues. That's how it was labeled common sens improvement.
15:58
Speaker 14: I'm a big fan for that in a bigger The
16:00
Speaker 14: way I described it was like I said, we need
16:03
Speaker 14: to write the cores drinking, blue collar h explanation.
16:09
Speaker 5: That's my history.
16:11
Speaker 13: I mean, yeah, I grew up with the fathers a welder.
16:14
Speaker 13: So let's just not the lawyers and legislators write this.
16:18
Speaker 13: Let's just be really clear on like we want everybody
16:21
Speaker 13: to have the same set of rules, not state by state.
16:26
Speaker 13: That seems a simple principle. It doesn't have to be everything.
16:28
Speaker 13: It just has to be in key.
16:30
Speaker 12: Areas XX live weekdays from eight to eleven on the zone.
16:51
Speaker 1: You can't know home if you're going on the hill.
16:53
Speaker 15: All the bridge you washed out at the bottom of
16:56
Speaker 15: the hill, a big greeks up and the little greeks
16:58
Speaker 15: level blown. Car on with aday longer.
17:04
Speaker 10: That's all.
17:06
Speaker 15: That's a little longer, zid the line to singing and
17:17
Speaker 15: doing the loves.
17:18
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Chip Howard's sports talk Here on a Wednesday.
17:22
Speaker 1: It's an all Willie Wednesday, uh, Chip and I listen
17:29
Speaker 1: to Willie and Talk sports every Wednesday. So even when
17:32
Speaker 1: he's not here. If it's Wednesday, I'm gonna bring up
17:35
Speaker 1: to Willie Nelson. Now, some other people may not play
17:39
Speaker 1: Willie Nelson on Wednesdays, and but that's okay, that's okay.
17:45
Speaker 1: We are waiting for Tory Vidallas to get done with
17:48
Speaker 1: some interviews over on campus as obviously it's a popular
17:53
Speaker 1: time for her with her team and uh them having
17:58
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get to play at home.
18:03
Speaker 16: The h.
18:09
Speaker 1: We are also going to have John Clindon in coming
18:14
Speaker 1: up in the second hour. He was at Conference USA
18:18
Speaker 1: Media Days yesterday and I'm gonna have him come on
18:23
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk a little bit about sam Houston
18:26
Speaker 1: State as they get ready to start.
18:30
Speaker 2: Another season in Conference USA.
18:32
Speaker 1: I think they're they're like the third most senior team
18:36
Speaker 1: in Conference USA now, which is kind of hard to believe,
18:40
Speaker 1: but you know, that's that's where it is that you know,
18:45
Speaker 1: you can have a situation where that quickly, you know,
18:52
Speaker 1: with all the movement that's going on, I mean, the
18:55
Speaker 1: wack has like a completely different name now that this
19:00
Speaker 1: moving and going in and out of conferences leads to
19:04
Speaker 1: the fact that, hey, you don't know what the opportunity
19:08
Speaker 1: is going to be for your team going forward, but
19:11
Speaker 1: you're still in one of those leagues where it gives
19:15
Speaker 1: you an opportunity if you can win the Power Five,
19:20
Speaker 1: that you can go out there and maybe have a
19:23
Speaker 1: shot at the playoffs if you can be good enough
19:27
Speaker 1: and you can earn that one spot. So that'll be
19:32
Speaker 1: something that we'll talk about coming up in our number two.
19:35
Speaker 1: We're a week away from the NFL training camps for
19:39
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys to open. You know, if they had
19:42
Speaker 1: opened today instead of a week from today, I would
19:47
Speaker 1: have been it would been great to hear Jerry Jones
19:50
Speaker 1: lie about stuff because you know he would be opening
19:54
Speaker 1: his mouth, so lives would have come out a lot
20:00
Speaker 1: of talk about is it now or never for.
20:07
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, And the interesting.
20:11
Speaker 1: Thing is it's never, and I don't mean never that
20:17
Speaker 1: they're going to win. It's never that as long as
20:21
Speaker 1: the contract.
20:22
Speaker 2: He has.
20:25
Speaker 1: And how quarterback play is so important in the league,
20:30
Speaker 1: he ain't going anywhere.
20:33
Speaker 2: How many years left he got on this deal there five.
20:37
Speaker 17: I think he'll be a free agent after twenty twenty nine, yeah,
20:45
Speaker 17: twenty eight, twenty eight, okay, so not going anywhere anytime soon,
20:50
Speaker 17: and he'll get resigned by the Cowboys.
20:52
Speaker 1: At that point in time, you don't let quarterbacks get away.
20:58
Speaker 1: More proof, not only did the Seattle let their quarterback
21:05
Speaker 1: get away, they go from being a Super Bowl contender
21:13
Speaker 1: with I'm speaking of the Minnesota Vikings to hey, we're
21:16
Speaker 1: going to give it to basically a rookie, a guy
21:19
Speaker 1: hadn't played any and Seattle goes and wins the whole trophy.
21:22
Speaker 2: They win the Super Bowl and then they get sold
21:25
Speaker 2: for nine.
21:26
Speaker 1: And a half billion dollars billion. But blah blah b
21:29
Speaker 1: a billion dollars. They went out and got a good quarterback.
21:35
Speaker 1: And that's just how this league is now. Question marks abound.
21:42
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Houston Texans are going to
21:46
Speaker 1: make a change at quarterback because he was bad in
21:52
Speaker 1: playoff games. That's only reserved for the Dallas Cowboys. It
22:03
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter about you know, if CJ. Stroud can
22:09
Speaker 1: or can't do it or whatever, because there's the Texans
22:14
Speaker 1: and you're not going to carry the cachet of being
22:18
Speaker 1: the Texans quarterback outside of Greater Houston that you are
22:23
Speaker 1: when you're the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. Now, Davis Mills played
22:28
Speaker 1: pretty good football last year, so here's a guy who
22:39
Speaker 1: beat Buffalo, beat Tennessee, beat Jacksonville, and then lost to Denver.
22:50
Speaker 1: So he put that team, gave them enough offense on
22:55
Speaker 1: a defensive minded football team to advance, but they couldn't
23:01
Speaker 1: win if you didn't have good offense. The flip side
23:05
Speaker 1: of the coin was the Dallas Cowboys, who I should
23:09
Speaker 1: call him the Alice Cowboys because there was no d
23:12
Speaker 1: in Dallas last year. So the Texans need to be
23:16
Speaker 1: better offensively and the Cowboys need to be better defensively.
23:20
Speaker 1: Is it easier to do one or the other. It
23:24
Speaker 1: might be easier to improve your defense than it is
23:30
Speaker 1: to improve the offense. Because I don't think that CJ.
23:33
Speaker 1: Stroud is bad, and I think that's why, you know,
23:39
Speaker 1: he gives you an opportunity that you can forget the
23:46
Speaker 1: playoff game, because that playoff game was as about a
23:53
Speaker 1: poor performance as you would could see in the playoffs.
24:00
Speaker 1: But he's also like in year three, the instantaneous gratitude
24:06

Speaker 1: two years later, you're not getting it done. Well, there
24:27
Speaker 1: still need to be some growth, You need to have
24:32
Speaker 1: some patience, but he needs to be better next year
24:36
Speaker 1: because quarterback in the NFL is as close to, you know,
24:42
Speaker 1: the most important position in any sport, besides maybe the
24:47
Speaker 1: starting pitcher, the number one pitcher for the Dodgers in
24:53
Speaker 1: the playoffs, quarterback is it. You get the ball every
24:59

29:16
Speaker 1: So Willie Wednesday here on Ship Howard Sports Talk. We're
29:19
Speaker 1: waiting for uh, have Tory Vedallas come on? And obviously
29:23
Speaker 1: TV and the press assembled out at David Diamond of Uh.
29:28
Speaker 1: You know they've they've got probably the same kind of
29:30
Speaker 1: questions that I want to ask her about getting to
29:32
Speaker 1: come home. So, uh, we're gonna do a little bit
29:35
Speaker 1: of a pivot. We're gonna hear from Marcell Reid today
29:37
Speaker 1: at SEC Media Days, and then when we can get
29:40
Speaker 1: Tory on, we will jump right to that. So here
29:44
Speaker 1: is uh Aggie quarterback Marcel Reid.
29:48
Speaker 22: Legal Hagingy mpt up Sports Draft Nation here in Tampa. Obviously,
29:53
Speaker 22: team goals are at the top of your list. What
29:55
Speaker 22: individual goals do you want to meet so those team
29:58
Speaker 22: goals happen.
30:01
Speaker 23: I want to go up and uh you know, passing
30:04
Speaker 23: touchdowns and rushing touchdowns definitely ours, and completion percentage as well.
30:08
Speaker 23: I think all that being said, I need I need
30:11
Speaker 23: to eliminate the turnovers for sure.
30:14
Speaker 3: It's been talked about and I know it. It's obvious.
30:17
Speaker 23: So just that eliminated turnovers for myself and not making
30:20
Speaker 23: bad plays worse front rule.
30:23
Speaker 5: Chest Bouche with NBC thirty three in Baton Rouge.
30:26
Speaker 24: Marcel, you've just absolutely dominated l s U pass almost
30:30
Speaker 24: two games.
30:31
Speaker 5: What works so well for you against L.
30:33
Speaker 23: S U My legs, Uh no, but Elis is a
30:40
Speaker 23: good team. But you know I have I have confidence
30:44
Speaker 23: going in every game and it's fun getting being able
30:47
Speaker 23: to play in a in a scene like that death Valley.
30:51
Speaker 23: Get to go back this year. But you know there's
30:54
Speaker 23: a new coach there now, I got some new players,
30:56
Speaker 23: so we'll see.
30:56
Speaker 3: How this one goes.
30:58
Speaker 5: Right side and then passed it.
30:59
Speaker 25: Up Rsel Alex Miller with the Brian College Station Eagle.
31:02
Speaker 25: You talk about improving statistics. I'm curious if there's one
31:05
Speaker 25: stat in particular that you guys really harp on as
31:07
Speaker 25: quarterbacks at A and M.
31:10
Speaker 23: I think completion percentage just kind of a universal one
31:13
Speaker 23: for quarterbacks, and I think that's an important one to me,
31:17
Speaker 23: you know, taking those for sure, for sure passes and
31:20
Speaker 23: not passing them up for maybe it's just something that's
31:23
Speaker 23: really important for me this year rowing the pass at
31:26
Speaker 23: one back Andy Marcel Noah grossrom KEKs and how do
31:29
Speaker 23: you describe the frustration of the final two games and
31:33
Speaker 23: last season and maybe how they kind of fueled you
31:35
Speaker 23: guys here heading into this fall. Yeah, definitely a frustrating
31:42
Speaker 23: last two games, losing to Arrival and then losing the
31:44
Speaker 23: first round of the playoffs.
31:45
Speaker 3: It's not fun.
31:46
Speaker 23: But I wouldn't say it's too much fuel because you
31:52
Speaker 23: can't really take anything from last season and in this season.
31:54
Speaker 23: But you know, there were two good teams and we
31:59
Speaker 23: were a good team. But you know, the people we
32:00
Speaker 23: had last year aren't the same people we have this year.
32:02
Speaker 23: And I think we've had some improvements over the offseason.
32:05
Speaker 23: We've got a new OC, I got a new quarterback coach,
32:08
Speaker 23: So just continue to develop having that experience now and
32:13
Speaker 23: just growing in my own character in my own way
32:15
Speaker 23: of playing football. I think is going to be a
32:18
Speaker 23: change this year for sure.
32:19
Speaker 26: Snack Bruin pass at one back Justin Patrick Fox Sports
32:23
Speaker 26: Radio Offens Colt, Florida, and going off those last two
32:25
Speaker 26: games with the year, it just seemed you hit a wall,
32:27
Speaker 26: like you just couldn't move the ball the same way
32:29
Speaker 26: you had all year. So for you personally, what'd you
32:32
Speaker 26: take from those games and what did you what were
32:34
Speaker 26: you missing during those last year performances.
32:37
Speaker 23: Yeah, just like how you said it, we weren't able
32:40
Speaker 23: to move the ball, couldn't get the ball on the
32:42
Speaker 23: end zone. I think we had maybe one or two
32:44
Speaker 23: possessions in the Texas game where we could really move it.
32:48
Speaker 23: Other than that, we were punting almost every possession. And
32:51
Speaker 23: then Miami game, we moved it slightly well, got it
32:56
Speaker 23: down the red zone a couple of times, but everybody
32:58
Speaker 23: knew how the win was in that game. And uh
33:00
Speaker 23: there's some misfield goals from both both ends, so you know,
33:04
Speaker 23: couldn't really capitalize on that. But it was an unfortunate event,
33:07
Speaker 23: and yeah we lost and got to move on from it.
33:11
Speaker 26: Left side on the Ailford row Tyler Shall with KP
33:14
Speaker 26: ticks and brand culture station.
33:15
Speaker 27: You said earlier with confidence, you know, you feel like
33:17
Speaker 27: you are one of the best quarterbacks in the nation.
33:19
Speaker 5: How important is it to you to have that kind
33:21
Speaker 5: of mindset? And then do you believe that you know
33:24
Speaker 5: this team can go as you go?
33:27
Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean, I think it's really important to have
33:28
Speaker 23: that mindset. If you don't, you shouldn't be playing in
33:31
Speaker 23: uh in in the country, you could shouldn't be playing
33:34
Speaker 23: in college football, you shouldn't be playing the SEC. So
33:36
Speaker 23: I've always had that confidence growing up. I've always played
33:40
Speaker 23: with guys older than me, so I've never been afraid
33:42
Speaker 23: of anybody. I've never been afraid of a name. I
33:44
Speaker 23: always go out there and know what I'm capable of
33:45
Speaker 23: and play the game that I love. So yeah, I
33:48
Speaker 23: think I'm always gonna have this this confidence. I'm never
33:51
Speaker 23: gonna let anybody tell me I can't do anything. And
33:54
Speaker 23: I think this team's gonna be, this team's gonna go.
33:58
Speaker 23: Yet obviously where I'm gonna like where I'm gonna be.
34:01
Speaker 23: I think, you know, being a captain, now I have
34:04
Speaker 23: a voice that these people are going to follow. And
34:06
Speaker 23: then we have four other ones as well who have
34:09
Speaker 23: done a great job this offseason of speaking up and uh,
34:12
Speaker 23: just being able to lead this team and we have
34:15
Speaker 23: the players to go do it.
34:17
Speaker 3: We just have to buckle down and be consistent this.
34:19
Speaker 5: Year third rule and then pass it one back.
34:23
Speaker 28: Corey mos ABC Sports in Austin Marshall, I just want
34:26
Speaker 28: to ask about something you mentioned earlier and having a
34:28
Speaker 28: new OC, new quarterbacks coach. What's been the biggest transition
34:31
Speaker 28: since losing coach Kline and is there something that he
34:33
Speaker 28: may have taught you.
34:34
Speaker 3: That you're still utilizing to this day.
34:36
Speaker 23: Yeah, it hasn't been a crazy transition. You know, going
34:40
Speaker 23: into every single offseason there's an install and everything, so
34:43
Speaker 23: you got to learn new things every single year. But
34:45
Speaker 23: I think the change this year was just, uh, you know,
34:47
Speaker 23: we changed up our verbiage a little bit, and you
34:51
Speaker 23: know that's always how it goes. People get your numbers,
34:53
Speaker 23: so you gotta you gotta change it up every single year.
34:55
Speaker 23: But yeah, nothing really jurassically different. I'm in the room
35:01
Speaker 23: with coach Wiggins and my quarterback coach, coach Lynch a
35:04
Speaker 23: lot this offseason, just trying to pick their brains a
35:07
Speaker 23: little bit, let them pick mine, and so we're on
35:09
Speaker 23: the same page. When it comes to each and every
35:12
Speaker 23: weekend this year. So really excited for It's still gonna
35:15
Speaker 23: be explosive, It's still gonna have a really great offense.
35:18
Speaker 29: So yeah, looking forward to it. Stuck and rolling the
35:21
Speaker 29: left then pass it up Donovan Bridge for t XA
35:24
Speaker 29: and twenty four News. You guys are heavy favorites in
35:27
Speaker 29: week one. What will you guys learn about yourselves in
35:29
Speaker 29: that game? I think, you know, we'll learn a lot.
35:33
Speaker 29: That's that's definitely like the We'll get the jitters out
35:36
Speaker 29: in that game. No matter who the opponent is, we
35:39
Speaker 29: still have to go out there and execute. So you know,
35:43
Speaker 29: we're gonna see all the preparation that came through winter,
35:46
Speaker 29: spring and summer and fall camp come out in that game,
35:50
Speaker 29: and that'll tell you a lot about you know, I
35:53
Speaker 29: think how the season's gonna go and definitely what we're
35:57
Speaker 29: gonna have to clean up going into the weeks after.
36:00
Speaker 5: Fourth row in the Aisle Travistonvill ESPN.
36:04
Speaker 27: Austin Marcel, what are you most excited about with the
36:07
Speaker 27: new offense this year and what do you see as
36:11
Speaker 27: the biggest hurdle.
36:14
Speaker 23: I'm really excited to get the bottom our receivers again.
36:18
Speaker 23: We have some really good guys outside returning guys Ashton
36:22
Speaker 23: about the Roman, Mario Craver and Terry Bussey, and then
36:26
Speaker 23: Isaiah Horton coming in being that big X receiver is
36:30
Speaker 23: a good pickup from the portal. I don't think there
36:34
Speaker 23: is a you know, bro block or speed bump anything
36:37
Speaker 23: in our offense. I think we have a lot of guys,
36:40
Speaker 23: uh you know, O line might be what people talk about,
36:42
Speaker 23: but we have our returning center who's been a center
36:45
Speaker 23: for us for five years now and he understands the game.
36:50
Speaker 23: He's been in Coach Cush's offense before, so he's able
36:55
Speaker 23: to help out the people around him. And then we
36:56
Speaker 23: also have some experience SEC guys that came in through
37:00
Speaker 23: out the portal. So I think we're gonna be just fine.
37:03
Speaker 23: There's nothing that really, you know, concerns me going into
37:06
Speaker 23: the season. I'm just really excited to get play.
37:08
Speaker 5: Front row here.
37:09
Speaker 16: Marself traps from kpt X, your first quarterback to represent
37:13
Speaker 16: A and M here since twenty nineteen. And Kellen, what
37:15
Speaker 16: does does that mean something to you? And does it
37:17
Speaker 16: mean something to you to be kind of stability in
37:20
Speaker 16: a position that has been a little bit unstable for
37:22
Speaker 16: the agg he's for almost a decade.
37:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, it means a lot.
37:25
Speaker 23: Whenever you're a coach, uh, you know, it takes you
37:28
Speaker 23: to do something to represent the team and yourself. I
37:30
Speaker 23: think it's really important. And I'm also you know, representing
37:33
Speaker 23: my family.
37:34
Speaker 3: My faith.
37:36
Speaker 23: You know, without God, I wouldn't be here at all.
37:37
Speaker 23: So yeah, just happy to be in this position for sure.
37:41
Speaker 23: As well as getting the captain's badge. I mean that's
37:43
Speaker 23: something that you're coaching. Your teammates, you know, give you credits.
37:46
Speaker 23: So yeah, I think I've worked to be in the
37:49
Speaker 23: position that I'm in, and you know, this is just
37:53
Speaker 23: the proof of what I put in.
37:54
Speaker 16: For it for sure.
37:56
Speaker 24: On the right third row, Hey, Abby Miller, the reflector
37:59
Speaker 24: from Mississippi State.
38:00
Speaker 5: The transferp has grown its popularity over the years. But
38:03
Speaker 5: you chose to stay at Texas A and M Why
38:05
Speaker 5: was that?
38:06
Speaker 23: I don't think there was a reason for me to leave.
38:09
Speaker 23: You know a lot of people, you know, may have
38:12
Speaker 23: things outside of football that they got to worry about.
38:16
Speaker 23: And you know, with nil nowadays, you know people will
38:20
Speaker 23: leave for money and stuff, or the coaching situation might
38:23
Speaker 23: not be good. But I think that you know, when
38:26
Speaker 23: Elko came in. I saw his vision and I saw
38:29
Speaker 23: that what he wanted to do with the program. So
38:31
Speaker 23: I chose to stay then, and then Klin coach Klin
38:35
Speaker 23: left took his job, which I respect because it's his
38:38
Speaker 23: alma mater and he's want to be a head coach.
38:39
Speaker 23: So Coach Wiggins is somebody that I've known about. He
38:43
Speaker 23: coached a lot of good players at Alabama, so trusted him.
38:47
Speaker 23: And then coach Lynch, who's my quarterback coach now, always
38:50
Speaker 23: had a relationship with him while he was at Vanderbilt
38:52
Speaker 23: being the offensive coordinator there. I went to school about
38:56
Speaker 23: six minutes away from Vanderbilt, so known him for a
39:01
Speaker 23: long time, got to understand him, come become close with
39:04
Speaker 23: him and his family. So there's no reason for me
39:06
Speaker 23: to leave. I had everybody that I needed in my corner.
39:10
Speaker 23: And you know, like I said, I love my team,
39:13
Speaker 23: I love College Station. There's there's no reason for it
39:15
Speaker 23: to happen. So yeah, final question on the end, Mark,
39:19
Speaker 23: So back here.
39:20
Speaker 30: John Sokoloff the w G and O TV in New Orleans,
39:23
Speaker 30: I want to ask you about your new left tackle,
39:25
Speaker 30: Tyree Adams.
39:26
Speaker 5: What have been your early impressions of him?
39:28
Speaker 30: So far and what kind of you know, contribution or
39:31
Speaker 30: a difference do you think he can make for the
39:33
Speaker 30: Aggies and this offensive line.
39:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tyree is I mean very light on his feet,
39:38
Speaker 3: which I think is really good for a tackle.
39:39
Speaker 23: He moves really well. He has the link, he has
39:42
Speaker 23: the hands, and we joke around all the time. That's
39:45
Speaker 23: one of my favorite guys. Tyree is awesome. Really excited
39:49
Speaker 23: that he came to join Aggie Land and you know
39:52
Speaker 23: he's gonna he's gonna protect me this year.
39:54
Speaker 3: I know that for sure. He protects me in the
39:57
Speaker 3: locker room. So really excited to have him on my side.
40:02
Speaker 1: All right, that's the Aggie quarterback Marcel Reid as he
40:06
Speaker 1: met the media today. We're going to hear from mikel.
40:11

40:23
Speaker 1: Boor and we will break into that once we are

44:42
Speaker 6: All right.
44:43
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Chip Howards Sports Talk here on a Monday.
44:48
Speaker 1: I'm sorry and all Willy Wednesday. As we get ready for.
44:54
Speaker 33: As we tax it a.
44:57
Speaker 1: Listen in on Kaitlin de Boor the Alabama head coach
45:03
Speaker 1: who lost their starting quarterback, their leading rusher, three of
45:09
Speaker 1: their top four wide receiver targets, including one of them
45:13
Speaker 1: who's here at Texas A and M. Six of their
45:15
Speaker 1: top seven linemen, including one of them who's here at
45:20
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. And he's got problems because he's
45:26
Speaker 1: not Nick Saban. But the biggest problem is when you
45:31
Speaker 1: didn't have a running back, you could average two point
45:33
Speaker 1: eight yards of carry after contact and you average four
45:38
Speaker 1: point one yards a carry on any rushing play not
45:42
Speaker 1: counting sacks, you can't run the football. Alabama fans notice,
45:48
Speaker 1: has Kaitlin de Borr noticed?
45:50
Speaker 34: Hey, Caitlyn Jonathan Hoppey with WBrC in Birmingham, you mentioned
45:54
Speaker 34: tried to up the physicality for the upcoming season. What
45:58
Speaker 34: has that process looked like the off season and how
46:01
Speaker 34: do you hope to see that play out in the fall.
46:02
Speaker 27: Yeah, I think there's special I want to say. I
46:04
Speaker 27: think there's a lot of physicality within our team. I
46:07
Speaker 27: think there's just areas where it can be seen and
46:11
Speaker 27: felt more. And I think again a lot of it
46:14
Speaker 27: has to do with execution, but we have a lot
46:15
Speaker 27: of physical players, you know. Right now, the things you're
46:18
Speaker 27: controlling are the bodies, right, the explosiveness, the strength that
46:26
Speaker 27: guys have, and that's where our guys are really. I
46:29
Speaker 27: think there's a part earlier this season where we were,
46:32
Speaker 27: or earlier in the winter where we were, you know,
46:35
Speaker 27: kind of coming together with a lot of new faces
46:37
Speaker 27: and understanding you know, where we were truly at. And
46:41
Speaker 27: I think we not only have we closed the gap,
46:43
Speaker 27: I think we've started to separate ourselves from what, at
46:47
Speaker 27: least a number standpoint, what that's supposed to look like
46:49
Speaker 27: and has looked like with past teams, whether it be
46:53
Speaker 27: here or just our experiences of understanding what teams look
46:56
Speaker 27: like across the country.
46:58
Speaker 5: Coach w ff s B came tmos Dad. The quarterback
47:01
Speaker 5: room obviously a big question this offseason. How is it
47:04
Speaker 5: looking for you right now? And just having that competition
47:06
Speaker 5: between those two guys.
47:07
Speaker 27: Yeah, between Austin Mack and Keilan Russell, two guys that
47:10
Speaker 27: we have a lot of confidence in.
47:13
Speaker 5: They both have a lot of similarities.
47:16
Speaker 27: I think probably when you look at their effectiveness as
47:18
Speaker 27: a passer, I think things that they don't have, or
47:23
Speaker 27: just the number of reps in game experiences, and so
47:26
Speaker 27: there's a lot of things that are similar about them.
47:28
Speaker 27: Their styles are going to be a little different, right,
47:31
Speaker 27: You got six at least six to six, and you
47:34
Speaker 27: know Keelan's not sure, he's six', three so they're both taller.
47:38
Speaker 27: Quarterbacks austin probably a guy who knows the offense inside and.
47:45
Speaker 5: Out we're trying to make sure he doesn't make it
47:47
Speaker 5: and overthink.
47:48
Speaker 27: Things not that he, is but just making sure that
47:52
Speaker 27: he eats it simple like like he can and execute
47:55
Speaker 27: play fast with his teammates And KEELAND i think has
47:58
Speaker 27: come a long. Ways you, know him knowing and he's
48:01
Speaker 27: made the comment him knowing what he knows now compared to.
48:03
Speaker 5: What you know a year, ago and that's. Expected you,
48:07
Speaker 5: know that's expected from both ends of it and what
48:09
Speaker 5: you see in each. Guy stay on the front, row,
48:13
Speaker 5: hey Coach Lindsay bonnard W aka out Of. Montgomery kind
48:16
Speaker 5: of picking off backing off that first.
48:18
Speaker 24: Question about the, physicality what do you say to the
48:21
Speaker 24: naysayers and maybe also to people that Say alabama's.
48:24
Speaker 5: Not the standard in THE sec?
48:25
Speaker 16: Anymore what do you say to those people to silence
48:28
Speaker 16: them and, say you, know we are still the standard.
48:30
Speaker 5: Here, WELL i mean for us and this team this,
48:33
Speaker 5: year we have to go out and we have to
48:35
Speaker 5: get the job. Done we got to go out and prove.
48:37
Speaker 27: IT i think you can look back to last year
48:40
Speaker 27: and you don't just accidentally win seven out of eight
48:42
Speaker 27: games in the, league go to a conference, championship win
48:45
Speaker 27: a playoff game on the road without having a resiliency of,
48:50
Speaker 27: toughness both mental and physical toughness about. You but we
48:55
Speaker 27: understand also that there's an expectation that is different At
48:59
Speaker 27: alabama and we signed up for.
49:01
Speaker 5: That we're all about, that and we want to continue to.
49:05
Speaker 27: Push to make sure that we reach the expectations that
49:08
Speaker 27: we have first of all, internally AND i think that
49:10
Speaker 27: will help everyone, else that, is the diehards and our
49:15
Speaker 27: fan base appreciate what these guys are, doing the work
49:17
Speaker 27: they're putting, in because they are definitely doing. That these
49:21
Speaker 27: are guys that have high, character that want it, bad
49:24
Speaker 27: that want to.
49:25
Speaker 5: Continue to carry on the tradition of the program here
49:28
Speaker 5: At alabama on the front row triggered in With way
49:31
Speaker 5: thirty one In.
49:31
Speaker 30: Huntsville just where have you Seen brian mature over the
49:35
Speaker 30: last three years since coming in as a seventeen year old.
49:37
Speaker 27: Freshman the maturity that he had in that he had
49:41
Speaker 27: when he came in far exceeded WHAT i could have.
49:45
Speaker 27: Imagined BUT i think the experiences that you just naturally
49:50
Speaker 27: go through are what have led him to being able
49:53
Speaker 27: to take the next. Steps you, know it's easy when
49:56
Speaker 27: it's going, well but you know when you have, adversity
50:00
Speaker 27: and especially when you're highlighted like he, is you, know
50:05
Speaker 27: there's there's JUST i, mean we're all, human, right and,
50:08
Speaker 27: uh you, know him being able to stay strong continue
50:13
Speaker 27: to focus on what he needs to improve, on but
50:16
Speaker 27: what he can control is just so. Impressive and, uh
50:20
Speaker 27: you know one thing that he's just been able to
50:22
Speaker 27: do this year that it wasn't because he wasn't trying
50:25
Speaker 27: to do a year. Ago but between being healthier this
50:28
Speaker 27: year in the off season and also understanding his body
50:32
Speaker 27: better and actually a year older, too you, know he's
50:36
Speaker 27: put on some weight AND i think that's, helped.
50:40
Speaker 5: You, know in a lot of different. WAYS i think
50:41
Speaker 5: helps with your, confidence helps with.
50:43
Speaker 27: Your you, know your your your ability to, move your
50:46
Speaker 27: ability TO i think it's going to help with his
50:48
Speaker 27: ability out there in the field from a physicality standpoint.
50:51
Speaker 27: Too and so he's just worked extremely. Hard he's been
50:55
Speaker 27: as he's been as locked in as you could ever.
50:57
Speaker 27: IMAGINE i help our people appreciate that about, him because
51:02
Speaker 27: there are a lot of eyeballs on.
51:03
Speaker 5: Him he signed up for, It he's great with, it
51:06
Speaker 5: he embraces.
51:07
Speaker 27: It he gives him his everything he has to his,
51:09
Speaker 27: teammates he gives everything he has to the people that
51:12
Speaker 27: he comes in contact.
51:13
Speaker 5: With you, KNOW i just love the. Guy i'm so
51:17
Speaker 5: glad he's on our.
51:18
Speaker 35: Side row Coach Whipman Clark todd one hundred point. Nine
51:22
Speaker 35: it's safe to say with the run, game it is
51:24
Speaker 35: one part offensive, line one part running. Back which half
51:28
Speaker 35: of the run game have you seen the most improvement
51:30
Speaker 35: out of throughout?
51:31
Speaker 27: SPRINGBALL i would say the most. Improvement it's there's a
51:37
Speaker 27: there's there's pieces to. IT i THINK i would add
51:39
Speaker 27: in there the tight ends as, WELL i think can
51:42
Speaker 27: really change what your run game or can help add
51:45
Speaker 27: change to the change of your run. Game and Guys Caleb, Edwards, Marshall,
51:50
Speaker 27: Pritchett Josh, ford guys like that who are a year.
51:54
Speaker 27: Older caleb was just coming to us a year, ago
51:57
Speaker 27: And alson gets thrown on the football. Field took some
52:00
Speaker 27: reps all season, long But marshall understands things and his
52:04
Speaker 27: physicality is.
52:05
Speaker 5: Greater josh brings that.
52:07
Speaker 27: Demeanor getting back to your, QUESTION i would, say you,
52:11
Speaker 27: know all of our running backs haven't had a chance
52:13
Speaker 27: to take those, reps mainly due to just injury status
52:18
Speaker 27: that you, know AN ej in, Particular but there are
52:22
Speaker 27: certainly things Like Daniel hill just body transformation because he's
52:28
Speaker 27: been healthier this, Offseason Kevin riley continuing to grow and get.
52:32
Speaker 27: BIGGER i think those areas have, happened BUT i would
52:36
Speaker 27: say that the offensive line is the area Where i've,
52:39
Speaker 27: seen you, know just us improving. Again we got to
52:43
Speaker 27: go out there and improve.
52:44
Speaker 5: It our guys know.
52:45
Speaker 27: That but right, now all we can do is focus
52:47
Speaker 27: on where we're, at and that's the summer. Months these
52:50
Speaker 27: guys putting in the work. Individually we put the pads
52:52
Speaker 27: on here in just a couple of, weeks rowing that
52:55
Speaker 27: pass it.
52:55
Speaker 5: Over, Okay Ryan fowler tied one point nine In.
52:58
Speaker 26: Tuscaloosa, coach we talk a lot about different, positions BUT
53:01
Speaker 26: i want to ask you to break down your special.
53:03
Speaker 5: Teams, kicker, punter and return. Specials, yeah kicker.
53:07
Speaker 27: Between talty And Lorcan, QUINN i think we GOT i,
53:11
Speaker 27: know we have talented, players AND i think uh and
53:15
Speaker 27: And connor is an extremely talented.
53:17
Speaker 5: Player he's just uh you, know consistency at times.
53:21
Speaker 27: And again he MADE i think the harder kicks at
53:23
Speaker 27: times throughout the, year which shows his ability level and
53:26
Speaker 27: also his, uh his his his ability from a mental
53:31
Speaker 27: standpoint to. Recover and now he's just really honed in
53:35
Speaker 27: on on making sure that, uh you, know he's more
53:38
Speaker 27: consistent and. Steady lorcan uh has all the tools as,
53:41
Speaker 27: well distance. Accuracy he's, Older, UH i can't say he's
53:48
Speaker 27: got more experience uh being in stadiums like he's gonna
53:51
Speaker 27: face in THE.
53:52
Speaker 5: Sec SO i think that's gonna be something that he'll
53:55
Speaker 5: have to work.
53:55
Speaker 27: Through but both of THEM i feel have that ability
53:59
Speaker 27: and AND, uh, well you know we'll have, one you,
54:02
Speaker 27: know a guy that can get the job.
54:03
Speaker 5: Done the punter situation will be. New you, know we
54:06
Speaker 5: got some some guys Between Adam, WATFORD, Uh.
54:11
Speaker 27: Alex And anderson that are all guys THAT uh have
54:16
Speaker 27: have legs that can get the job. Done and then you,
54:19
Speaker 27: know from a long snapper, standpoint we have a good
54:21
Speaker 27: competition there and guys that are more than capable to get.
54:24
Speaker 36: The job done Prob as, coach you mentioned the quarterbacks
54:31
Speaker 36: are both capable and your coaching conversations through the, years
54:35
Speaker 36: have you ever discussed playing two quarterbacks and has that
54:40
Speaker 36: been something you may?
54:41
Speaker 5: Consider and if, not why? NOT I i can't say
54:46
Speaker 5: that we've intentionally gone. In you've had.
54:49
Speaker 27: Injuries you've had uh times where guys maybe during a
54:54
Speaker 27: season have at some point maybe five weeks IN u
55:00
Speaker 27: just there comes a point where you know another guy
55:04
Speaker 27: or change needs to. Happen that happened one. TIME i
55:09
Speaker 27: REALLY i think it's best done when you have one
55:12
Speaker 27: guy taking the snaps. Consistently But i'm not Gonna i'm
55:17
Speaker 27: not gonna say that if we don't have a different, way,
55:21
Speaker 27: uh that it was a failure and that it wasn't
55:23
Speaker 27: done and handled. PROPERLY i think we've done a great,
55:26
Speaker 27: job you, know doing what we can to, track to,
55:30
Speaker 27: push to, evaluate to.
55:32
Speaker 3: Teach.
55:33
Speaker 27: Uh at the same, Time, uh these guys and so, ideally,
55:37
Speaker 27: yeah we want to have the same quarterback start to.
55:39
Speaker 27: FINISH i think you just from a leadership, standpoint it's
55:43
Speaker 27: more comfortable that. Way guys know what to, expect both
55:46
Speaker 27: the quarterback and the guys around, him you.
55:50
Speaker 5: Know but we'll, see we'll see what happens as we
55:51
