  Speaker 3: me you and Rod about reading kind of this stuff
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: on Peteneck Hos. These guys trying to get back into college. Man,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: it's wild out there.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Oh it's a wild we West. It's really It's really
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: good for the Jucos in Mississippi. It is, you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: you know, it's really tough on these kids around here
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: to try to get into universities and all that, with
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: all the kids getting the extra years.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, me and you were talking earlier, and I was telling,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you know, last year just going on Thursday nights and
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: working ball games and the product of the Mississippi Juco
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: is it's always been really good, but it felt like, man,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: this thing's even better now. But it's a product of
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: what's going on in Division one.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's when you have older kids staying there long. Like,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: you know, the only options you have for a lot
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: of your high school kids is go to JUCO and
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: it's been a couple of years and grow up and
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: get hit a little bit, and then all of a
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: sudden they go d one and all of a sudden
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: they're a hot commodity as well.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you this from you know, you've been
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: doing this a long time. Tutelage of young men in
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: high school used to and when I say, used to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: five years ago, if you were pretty darn good, you
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: may have a shot to maybe you know, obviously the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: really good ones are gonna get theirs, but if you
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: were pretty good, you might have a shot to get
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: one of those last three, four or five spots or
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: maybe a gray shirt of Division one. What are you
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: guys telling young men now, because if it's if you're
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: not a bona fide you know, four five star, you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: high three, ever you want to classify it, it's really
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: really tough for the young guys.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, really, you know, if they get an offer for
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: D one, we're telling them take it, take it, take
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: it why you can, because at any moment they could.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: You know, if you don't do it, somebody else will.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: And then you know, the great thing is a miss Sippo.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: We have the Juco's.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: It's really good. And we've had many kids the last
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: few years go there. We had a linebacker graduate two
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: years ago, one year Gulf Coast and he's already a Baylor.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: So you know, they can go to DUCO for a
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: year and then all of a sudden they're gone. We
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: have a d lineman went to Gulf Coast two years ago,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: but now he's at Oregon State. So you know, just
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: because you're going to JUCO don't mean you stay. You go,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: put film together, and then all of a sudden you're
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: gone somewhere else.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's interesting to hear two different schools, Baylor
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: and then Oregon State. We are seeing more and I
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: think it's with the money. For instance, the Big Ten
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: is coming here. They're pulling guys left and right out
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: of Mississippi. The ACC is Juco's. Other schools are coming in.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I mean there's a lot of teams from all over
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: that's kind of cannibalizing on Misissippi talent.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's It was this summer we had the big
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: d tackle. He said, hey, Oregon State wants me to come.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: He said, I've never been that far. He said, hey, man,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: if you're ready to go, go yeah, And he said
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: all right. And I talked to him the other day.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: They don't start last September fourteen. They already played three
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: ball games before they ever go to class. So he's
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: trying to fill his day up with practice and lifting
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: weights and getting ready for the ball games.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Visiting with the coach Ray Derr. He is the defensive
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: coordinator here at Pearl Wednesday edition of your program. I
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: was talking to coach school earlier. You guys were in
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: just about every ball game last year except I think
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: one where it kind of got control and spiraled. Those
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: things happened. When you look at Pearl defensively, you guys
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: have always been really tough, really hard I mean offensively
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: line of scrimmage football team. I would expect more of
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: that this year. Kind of take us through, you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: some of the troubles last year, I mean, but again defensively.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I went down to Pedal, won a big game late
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: late in the year, had a chance against Stake Grove.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: A lot of people felt like you were fixing to
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: literally get jump right into the playoffs. How that maybe
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: has motivated this group for this year.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Well, last year we was looking really good towards the end,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: and big and running back Derick Alexander hurd his knees,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: so he did. He missed the last three ball games
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: and he was a big part of the offense. And
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: when you lose him. You know, they stay on the field,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: they keep the clock running. We don't have to be
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: on the field as much, and that's always good for
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: a defense. Come out there fresh, which this year he's
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: going to be playing some linebackers, so I'm excited about that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I love talking modern day defense with cut defensive coordinators
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: versus you know, ten years ago, because it's so hard,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: or at least I would perceive it to be to
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: teach in a game that's now. You can't lock guys
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: up at corner, right, you can't grab and touch, you
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: can't hit the quarterback. You know, if you do, it's
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: got to be the right kind of hit. And we
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: see that in the National Football League every Sunday. How
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: do you teach physicality in twenty twenty.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Six, Well, it's still the same old like in high school.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Now you don't have quite as many rules. You know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: as long as you do everything between the whistle is
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: still good. Sure, but you know, like every didn't practice.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: You know, you still got to hit in practice. You know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: we don't want to get him Moody injured, but you
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: still you still got to go out there and get
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: after most days, so leading up to the games, Monday
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: and Tuesdays Usually we get after it pretty good. Wednesdays
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Thursday will starts slowing down. But the only way to
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: be physical is to go out there and practice and
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: be physical as much as you can.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: What about tackling in space? Has it seems like for
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: at least for me? And I know you and I've
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: talked about this to point over here at rod Is
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: and you look, you said a lot in college, some
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: bad tackling in open space, you know, angles taken, bad approach, angles,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: just whiffing on tackles.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: How do you teach that to these young guys.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Well, we do tackling drills every week and we throw
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: the ball out there and we tell the offensive guy
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: like you got from the hash to the sideline, and like,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: defensive guy, let's get them down like we do openfield
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: tackling a good bit because football is not like it
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: used to be. We used to be in that little
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: box and it was all downhill. Now they're playing basketball
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: on the field where they throw it out there and
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: you get the best athlete they got on their team
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: one on one with your guy. So you know, we
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: do a lot of that out here. We do a
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: lot of perimeter tackling. We do perimeter drills where they
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: throw it out there and we have to go make plays.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: We just try to wrap it up practice as much
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: we can.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: You know, you mentioned going from a box to now
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: you're playing outside the hashes. We're seeing a movement in
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: college football. Just if you look at the last three years, oddly,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: coming out of the Big Ten, Michigan, Ohio State, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Indiana won national championships. They all were better line of
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: scrimmage teams than the teams they played. Indiana last year
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I can't remember. I think they were somewhere around six
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: yards per clip per carry, almost had a really good
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: per carry average last year. So it looks like we're
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: seeing a return to the run game a little bit
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: because you know, obviously defensive personnel is a little smaller,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: maybe at linebacker. How do you position personnel, you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: in a again, Friday night, you guys may come our
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: air and play a team that's for wide and then
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the next week you may play a team that's you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: playing two tight end, two running backs and you know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: twenty two personnel.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Well, that's our job every Sunday to come in, you know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: make a game plan. What the personnel we got. You know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: we're not college, so we have to play what we got.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: So if one week we got to put all the
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: big guys in there and we got to stop the run,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: and then the next week we got a blitz packages
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: and all the little guys and they're runn around trying
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to chase the quarterback. It's just something we have to
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: get ready for every week. And every Monday I sit
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: down and go over, you know, the game plan of
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: the week, and also you know, hey, what we're going
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: to expect, what we're going to see, and here's the
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: different things we're gonna have to do to stop that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: What's the hardest coach defense, hardest position to coach in
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: defense today?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Probably secondary. I still think a secondary that's the one
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: that's the big play, that's the one everybody sees. Yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: just because you know, whoever's back there, there's nowhere to hide.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: I thow that songing over the top. You don't get it.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna be looking and you're just looking like it
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: was me. Everybody knows it was you.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Is it harder to get safeties?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I've always wondered this because depending on what you're you know, matching,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: if you're running man, maybe you're running some zone, maybe
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: you're doing some you know kind of quasi cloud or
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: whatever you're doing. To get safeties to trust the corners
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: or the corners to trust the safeties.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Well, one thing is try to make it as simple
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: as possible where they don't get messed up.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: That is the worst thing in the world. When one
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: thing they got deep and other things they got deep,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: nobody gets deep, and all of sudden you gotta going
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: down the sideline and they both look at each other,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: and then everybody is looking at you because apparently you
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: did something that they don't understand. Right, So just reponant
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: practice and making sure that they understand what you're going
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: to do, because we can make it as high take
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: as we want to, but they got to be able
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: to understand it on Friday night.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: To be able to do it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Finally, before we get to get out of here, we
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: got a couple more minutes here with coach Raid Deir,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: defensive cordinator Pearl, tell me a little bit about your
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: defensive side.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: This year and what you're expecting to see.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Uh, well, we agred waited all four linebackers from last year,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: So we were robbing some from the offense to get
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Derek over there. Derek Alexander over there, gonna play the
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: inside linebacker position for us. And then we you know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: we have two or three tenth traders got to step
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: up and play out there. And then we got a
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: big d lineman coming back, Marcus Dere He's a big
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: six one, three hundred pound guy that can move, so
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: that helps. And then we got the leader of our
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: secondary is Jaydon Thomas. He's got offered from uh D
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: one and Juco and he's a good little ball player
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: back there and he's gonna hit the one to make
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: sure communication on the back end is doing good.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: But you know, and coach Schuller talked about it being
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: young in some places the non region schedule, Well you
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: can really see these guys kind of grow up in
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: five weeks, can't you.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: You.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we have no choice with the schedule we have.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: We have to. You know, we got Madison next Thursday,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: and they're good every year and we know that we
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: have to play the best we can. Then after that
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: we got Raren Central and Clinton. You know, like we
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: don't dodge anybody. We go ahead and get it one
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: of the getting's good and then well our district play.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: You know, we have to be ready for everything by
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: the time district play comes because our district uh, you know,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: in my opinion is one of the best in the
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: state of Mississippi. I think it's a lot of people's opinion.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt, there's no doubt it is.
