- 0:40Speaker 1: a lot of great offseason stuff to dive into, like
- 0:43Speaker 1: spreme practice, like the actual physical practices are coming up
- 0:47Speaker 1: this week. We're gonna talk about Vegas and their win
- 0:51Speaker 1: totals and just why I agree and disagree. Lastly, we're
- 0:55Speaker 1: gonna really look at some of the position stuff. Coop
- 0:58Speaker 1: has a lot of things on his brain about what
- 1:01Speaker 1: could go right, also what could go wrong. So Coop
- 1:06Speaker 1: Happy Sunday. Man, it's been a bit, but we're back
- 1:09Speaker 1: on track. Baby, Now to campus here sign fust or
- 1:11Speaker 1: really turn the heat up, man, how's it.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Going going good?
- 1:16Speaker 3: I have been enjoying the spring break with the staycation.
- 1:21Speaker 3: Some soccer mixed in and some football mixed in. You know,
- 1:24Speaker 3: always always another injury mixed in, which is which is good?
- 1:28Speaker 3: You know, But you had yourself a fun little trip,
- 1:32Speaker 3: So how was that?
- 1:34Speaker 1: It was good? You know? Kiddo turned eighteen. So my
- 1:38Speaker 1: youngest is now officially eighteen. He'll be going to OU
- 1:41Speaker 1: in the fall, so he'll be a sooner sooner born's
- 1:44Speaker 1: bread he'll be when he dies, he'll be sooner dead.
- 1:48Speaker 1: So pretty excited about that. He's pretty stoked about it.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Just trying to figure out how he wants to do things,
- 1:54Speaker 1: but he is. He's We're getting everything prepped and all
- 1:59Speaker 1: of that there. And then of course my oldest graduates
- 2:02Speaker 1: here in May. She gets her her undergrad from LSU
- 2:06Speaker 1: Go Tigas, So I'll be I'll be between Louisiana and
- 2:09Speaker 1: here in May like crazy, and then a moving her
- 2:14Speaker 1: out east. So yeah, it's gonna be a fun, fun year.
- 2:18Speaker 1: But Coop, the best part is is that college football
- 2:22Speaker 1: has continued to see a massive evolution. Some people like it,
- 2:28Speaker 1: some people hate it. I love it because it means
- 2:31Speaker 1: it's so much, so many more things to talk about.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Plus there are so many more teams that truly have
- 2:37Speaker 1: a chance we just saw with Indiana winning a Natty
- 2:40Speaker 1: because their coach brought all their players. They showed continuity
- 2:42Speaker 1: and they showed a way to weather the storm of
- 2:48Speaker 1: college football. So we get to do that again here.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Like you know, we got our ten win season in
- 2:55Speaker 1: the SEC, so it shut up a lot of people
- 2:57Speaker 1: about if Oklahoma could even handle being here. We ain't
- 3:00Speaker 1: gotta be concerned about that no more. We're gonna jump
- 3:03Speaker 1: right in, uh to that, because yeah, I think that
- 3:09Speaker 1: that's probably the best starting point right there. Did you
- 3:13Speaker 1: look at all of the the wind totals or whatnot.
- 3:17Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excited to look at the Yeah, I'm excited
- 3:22Speaker 3: to get into them because.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I mean, listen, this is Vegas.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Is in the business of making money, right Like that's
- 3:32Speaker 3: that's their whole goal, and so whenever they put these
- 3:36Speaker 3: things out like they're not in they're not really interested.
- 3:40Speaker 3: We were at seven and a half last year, right
- 3:41Speaker 3: We started at six and a half, ended up at
- 3:43Speaker 3: seven and a half.
- 3:44Speaker 2: So I'm gonna ease you to.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Take all the proceeds to the podcast and put it
- 3:47Speaker 3: on over because yeah, I mean, like I that's what
- 3:51Speaker 3: I feel is a very very uh you know, fun
- 3:55Speaker 3: part about this type of year, there's more content to
- 3:58Speaker 3: you know, to talk about. But you know, it's funny
- 4:02Speaker 3: because you see them buying into the hype of some
- 4:04Speaker 3: people yet again, and then you see them, you know,
- 4:08Speaker 3: disrespecting some folks yet again.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Oh no, you're one hundred percent right on that, and
- 4:14Speaker 1: I'm gonna I can make an argument on why Vegas,
- 4:24Speaker 1: why Vegas selection made sense, and why it also didn't
- 4:27Speaker 1: make sense when it comes to that. But yeah, we're
- 4:30Speaker 1: gonna look at that because we definitely gotta look at
- 4:32Speaker 1: the competition schedule and all that as well. So let's
- 4:35Speaker 1: go ahead and jump right into it first and foremost
- 4:38Speaker 1: whore you go, you have shout out to my I
- 4:40Speaker 1: got Chris Marla over there at Louisiana sports dot Net.
- 4:45Speaker 1: He builts some great graphics. I'm actually making my own
- 4:48Speaker 1: as well, so that we'll have a lot of this
- 4:51Speaker 1: going forward, especially once we really get into covering more
- 4:55Speaker 1: of just college football in general. But this is the
- 4:59Speaker 1: wind toow right now. And as you mentioned, Oklahoma is
- 5:02Speaker 1: sitting here at seven point five, and I'm gonna be honest,
- 5:13Speaker 1: I get it. The devil doesn't need advocates, But I
- 5:16Speaker 1: understand where Vegas was going with this for Oklahoma. This
- 5:19Speaker 1: is the reason why I'll start with this and then Coop,
- 5:21Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on it. Let's look
- 5:23Speaker 1: at the schedule. Vegas says seven and a half, which
- 5:28Speaker 1: means they're saying about seven wins, which means what five losses.
- 5:33Speaker 1: That to me means that they believe that there's a
- 5:35Speaker 1: minimum of four to five toss up games. And I
- 5:39Speaker 1: think I see where they're saying this. At Michigan on
- 5:42Speaker 1: the road, UG on the road. So that's your first
- 5:47Speaker 1: four games of the season, actually five, including Texas in
- 5:51Speaker 1: Red River. Your first your first P four games, Your
- 5:56Speaker 1: first three P four games are either on the road
- 6:00Speaker 1: or neutral site. And that's it. Within the first five games.
- 6:03Speaker 1: It's a pretty big deal. Granted, last season, Oklahoma showed
- 6:07Speaker 1: that they performed very well on the road. I get
- 6:11Speaker 1: where the skepticism comes in. So I say Michigan since
- 6:15Speaker 1: Oklahoma right is right now, what a one and a
- 6:19Speaker 1: half point dog at ann Arbor just because you're on
- 6:23Speaker 1: the road neutral site means Oklahoma's a favorite. If they're
- 6:27Speaker 1: at home, they will be like a five and a
- 6:28Speaker 1: half point favorite. UGA on the road, Texas at Red
- 6:36Speaker 1: River and until we actually score a touchdown in that game,
- 6:39Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that's gonna be a toss up Florida
- 6:43Speaker 1: on the road. And I honestly think if they believe
- 6:49Speaker 1: that it stays at five losses, it's between Old Miss
- 6:54Speaker 1: and Texas A and M as a challenge, mainly because
- 6:58Speaker 1: Old Miss could have turn that Chambler's coming back. Texas
- 7:03Speaker 1: A and M still has a lot of good players
- 7:06Speaker 1: on that ross that won eleven games, but there's a
- 7:10Speaker 1: lot of things holes in there that we would have
- 7:12Speaker 1: to break down. So I get Vegas's mindset. But as
- 7:16Speaker 1: mentioned in the in the chat by my boy Stevie
- 7:19Speaker 1: as well as you Coup, I'm hammering over in which
- 7:22Speaker 1: the moment, the moment I get into into Tennessee this week,
- 7:31Speaker 1: I'm hammering that over on the sports books period.
- 7:36Speaker 3: You said it right, is which games are is? Oh,
- 7:40Speaker 3: you're going to be in conflict Michigan. You got Whittingham
- 7:45Speaker 3: coming up there. Stability has not been uh, the the
- 7:51Speaker 3: underlying uh, I guess virtue in ann Arbor for quite
- 7:55Speaker 3: a long time. So now you bring in a guy
- 7:57Speaker 3: who's known for the stability. You go to Georgia, which
- 8:01Speaker 3: you know is tied for the most with nine and
- 8:03Speaker 3: a half. Not a lot of people win there, right,
- 8:08Speaker 3: what is it? They just had their big streak broken
- 8:10Speaker 3: last year Texas.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Same thing.
- 8:14Speaker 3: I'm with you now. My caveat with Texas is the
- 8:20Speaker 3: only time we've played in the past four years where
- 8:23Speaker 3: we had a healthy team and and the quarterback we won,
- 8:28Speaker 3: and that was the year with DG and the game
- 8:30Speaker 3: winner to Nick Anderson. So you want to see what
- 8:36Speaker 3: does Oklahoma look like? Because you go to Georgia, then
- 8:39Speaker 3: you got your bye, and you just hope you come
- 8:42Speaker 3: back out of that, you come out of that game healthy.
- 8:45Speaker 3: But nonetheless, it is your neutral site game. You've now
- 8:48Speaker 3: played at Michigan, at Georgia and in Dallas. You know,
- 8:53Speaker 3: I don't think that Mississippi State is going to be
- 8:55Speaker 3: the factor in there. South Carolina got some bad news
- 8:58Speaker 3: here with with their star outside rusher potentially going under
- 9:02Speaker 3: the knife. So yeah, I think it is at the
- 9:06Speaker 3: swamp ole miss at home, which they beat us at
- 9:10Speaker 3: home last year.
- 9:11Speaker 2: And then A and M.
- 9:13Speaker 3: So if you say that, all right, you've got these games,
- 9:17Speaker 3: these five games of conflict, and then let's not just
- 9:21Speaker 3: say that Missouri is just a layout. This schedule is
- 9:25Speaker 3: a little bit more easy to navigate than it was
- 9:27Speaker 3: last year, especially on the back half instead of ending
- 9:30Speaker 3: you know, obviously the LSU declined kind of prevented that
- 9:34Speaker 3: from being such a you know, insurmountable end of the season.
- 9:39Speaker 3: But this this is a little bit easier. So, oh,
- 9:41Speaker 3: you fans, you have watched this, You've you've seen the
- 9:46Speaker 3: progress of the team. You got to think that Materi
- 9:49Speaker 3: fully healthy, offensive line, older, there's a lot of there's
- 9:54Speaker 3: a lot to be excited about. And so you know,
- 9:57Speaker 3: they're going to get a lot of money from oh
- 9:59Speaker 3: you and you know what, they're gonna get a lot
- 10:01Speaker 3: of money from OU fans to hammering probably the under
- 10:04Speaker 3: on Texas. So there's there, there's a lot there that
- 10:08Speaker 3: you have to take in and chew on. But yeah,
- 10:12Speaker 3: it does feel a little disrespectful because you beat Michigan
- 10:15Speaker 3: last year, right you uh, you haven't played Georgia yet,
- 10:19Speaker 3: but it's uh, you know, people are probably not too
- 10:21Speaker 3: scared of Kentucky. They're going to be in there Will
- 10:24Speaker 3: Stein early year.
- 10:26Speaker 2: You know, kind of a.
- 10:28Speaker 3: I guess a process. Mississippi State still looking to win
- 10:33Speaker 3: a conference game, is it zero in the past two
- 10:35Speaker 3: years or one in the past two years, just not
- 10:37Speaker 3: very much. South Carolina. You went up to their house,
- 10:40Speaker 3: you probably put the most uh you know, dominant, you know,
- 10:44Speaker 3: game against South South Carolina last year Florida new regime,
- 10:49Speaker 3: Ole miss You kind of feel like, you know, if
- 10:52Speaker 3: the field wasn't different. So there's a lot of yeah butts,
- 10:56Speaker 3: but everybody feels pretty much the same around here.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Is that you hammer it over.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Yeah, you're taking it over. And like I said, that's
- 11:04Speaker 1: kind of why I kind of understand where Vegas is
- 11:07Speaker 1: thinking with this when I look at it, because we'll
- 11:10Speaker 1: look at the other schedules in a second, because I
- 11:12Speaker 1: think when you look at the competition as well, with
- 11:14Speaker 1: their schedules, look their what their their schedules look like
- 11:18Speaker 1: on top of what their winters look like kind of
- 11:20Speaker 1: lines up. So like Oklahoma went to fan duel, most
- 11:23Speaker 1: of the juice right now is on the under seven
- 11:25Speaker 1: and a half on FanDuel. But when I looked at
- 11:27Speaker 1: Caesar's n MGM, all of the favorite to cover is
- 11:33Speaker 1: the over. They expect a wins out of this team
- 11:36Speaker 1: in which the schedule to me lines up for a
- 11:39Speaker 1: minimum of eight if not ten, wins like the toss
- 11:45Speaker 1: up games. For me, one hundred percent is going to
- 11:46Speaker 1: be Georgia in Texas. I think Kyle Whittingham's gonna need
- 11:49Speaker 1: a year at Michigan to really get that going. Uga
- 11:55Speaker 1: still got Gunner stocked in Texas brings back you know,
- 11:58Speaker 1: arch Manning. So when you bring back veterans signal callers,
- 12:03Speaker 1: I usually lean your direction just a little bit. Well,
- 12:06Speaker 1: i'll lean in the I'll usually lean your direction, but
- 12:10Speaker 1: I'll also give you I'll say that you are gonna
- 12:14Speaker 1: be definitely a formidable opponent. Let's put it that way, probabe,
- 12:17Speaker 1: the simplest way to say it. I don't think it's
- 12:19Speaker 1: gonna be a runaway. We got to see if Chambliss
- 12:22Speaker 1: is gonna be back. Problem for a and M is
- 12:24Speaker 1: that line. That line got gutted by the by players
- 12:28Speaker 1: going pro Florida new coaching staff. Like he said, South
- 12:31Speaker 1: Carolina lost not only one, but two offensive tackles and
- 12:35Speaker 1: now there was like their edges on the fritz. I
- 12:38Speaker 1: don't even know if Kamario Taylor is gonna play for
- 12:40Speaker 1: Mississippi State to start the season. We'll see. After he
- 12:43Speaker 1: got injured at the end of that Bowl game, which
- 12:45Speaker 1: was just gruesome, felt so bad for the kids. He
- 12:48Speaker 1: wanted to play football. And that's and that's a situation
- 12:51Speaker 1: where some people will say it's just stupid that he
- 12:54Speaker 1: played in that game. So either you complain it he's playing,
- 12:56Speaker 1: or you can plain it he's not playing. I don't
- 12:58Speaker 1: know which one it's gonna be. That one's gonna be
- 13:00Speaker 1: challenge Kentucky new coach. Missouri. They got Austin Simmons now
- 13:08Speaker 1: as they're starting quarterback because they've announced it. Oklahoma's schedule
- 13:14Speaker 1: still is pretty to like you mean, it's still favorable.
- 13:17Speaker 1: It's still favorle to where this win total should be
- 13:21Speaker 1: the over. But it's interesting. Now let's look at some
- 13:23Speaker 1: of the opponents. First off, let's look at Georgia. Uh.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Georgia is interesting because let me see, I had their
- 13:31Speaker 1: schedule here. This is what their schedule looks like. Travel
- 13:39Speaker 1: to Arkansas a week before Oklahoma. That may play a
- 13:46Speaker 1: little bit of a factor since Oklahoma's playing a cupcake
- 13:48Speaker 1: the week before Vandy at the crib. They got Bama
- 14:00Speaker 1: non road.
- 14:02Speaker 3: That I'll pause you right there because it's not just
- 14:05Speaker 3: Vandy because obviously Pavia is gone, but it's the fact
- 14:11Speaker 3: that you come off, Oh you you're going to have
- 14:13Speaker 3: to put it down because Vandy is just a scrappy team.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Clark Le, he has everybody playing to the deal to
- 14:20Speaker 3: where he's the the enthusiasm and the confidence started with him.
- 14:25Speaker 3: Now Pavia, it was more loud with through his mouth.
- 14:29Speaker 3: But you can't just prepare for Bama the week after Oklahoma,
- 14:35Speaker 3: like you got to focus in with Vanderbilt and that
- 14:37Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's that's the sec right, but it
- 14:40Speaker 3: is going Arkansas, Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, Alabama, and then Auburn. Like
- 14:46Speaker 3: then they get an open But I mean that's five
- 14:48Speaker 3: straight teams to where you got to actually be on
- 14:52Speaker 3: your game.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And like you this isn't you know your
- 14:57Speaker 1: Grandma's Vanderbilt as every it makes a joke, but yeah,
- 15:00Speaker 1: vanderb this isn't what it used to be. Like everyone
- 15:04Speaker 1: was used to Vanderbilt being one of mark w and
- 15:07Speaker 1: you can use that as a as an opportunity to
- 15:08Speaker 1: play some of your other play. No, Vandy's been getting
- 15:10Speaker 1: solid recruits. They've been developing like crazy. Like I said,
- 15:13Speaker 1: clark Lee one of my favorite coaches in the conference.
- 15:16Speaker 1: He got he has those those dudes playing. Then they
- 15:22Speaker 1: got Bama on the road. Now Bama has a new quarterback.
- 15:26Speaker 1: We don't know who it's either gonna be what mac
- 15:29Speaker 1: or Keelan Russell. I'm not sure what that's gonna look
- 15:33Speaker 1: like yet. Then they host Auburn at the Crib. Then
- 15:38Speaker 1: they finally get a buye. So they got five straight
- 15:44Speaker 1: SEC games at the beginning of the season, whereas for Oklahoma,
- 15:52Speaker 1: it's like they only got they got like all of
- 15:58Speaker 1: theirs at the end, like it there on the back end.
- 16:00Speaker 1: But Georgia starts the season with all of theirs. That's
- 16:03Speaker 1: going to be That's where the challenge comes in in
- 16:06Speaker 1: a lot of ways.
- 16:09Speaker 2: You don't.
- 16:10Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just looking at this like, obviously Alabama Oklahoma,
- 16:13Speaker 3: those your two top echelon teams. But it's not like
- 16:17Speaker 3: they get the bottom of the SEC per se on
- 16:21Speaker 3: the back side of their schedule either. I mean, you've
- 16:24Speaker 3: got the cocktail. You know, you've got the neutral site
- 16:26Speaker 3: game with Florida, right at ole Miss, which I got
- 16:30Speaker 3: to think that there's going to be some ebbs and
- 16:32Speaker 3: flows in ole Miss this season this year, chamberless or not. Vanderbilt, right, Yeah,
- 16:38Speaker 3: And with Vanderbilt I mean, you lost the five star
- 16:41Speaker 3: quarterback in Jared Curtis to Vanderbilt. He's probably going to
- 16:47Speaker 3: be the starter. I'm just venturing to say that he's
- 16:49Speaker 3: probably going to be the starter. So he's probably going
- 16:53Speaker 3: to try to come out and show that, hey, you
- 16:56Speaker 3: should have up to the you should have up the
- 16:58Speaker 3: offer because.
- 17:00Speaker 2: I'm worth it.
- 17:01Speaker 3: But Missouri South Carolina and then Georgia Tech is just
- 17:05Speaker 3: always a fistfight of a game for them, and just
- 17:09Speaker 3: because the way that they play ball. So you don't
- 17:14Speaker 3: see the Mississippi State there. I mean you got the Arkansas,
- 17:16Speaker 3: which you know it had a struggle, but that was
- 17:18Speaker 3: a very, very potent offense and Patino has that offense
- 17:21Speaker 3: just dialed in. So this schedule, I mean, Georgia has
- 17:25Speaker 3: a better schedule I think this year than they had
- 17:27Speaker 3: last year as far as it's like how strong it.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Is they really do. It's a lot more favorable. So
- 17:31Speaker 1: I understand they're nine and a half. It makes sense
- 17:34Speaker 1: like I'm looking at this as toss up to from
- 17:43Speaker 1: them going to twelve, so them winning ten games, so
- 17:45Speaker 1: the two losses, Oklahoma's going to be a challenge. Alabama's
- 17:49Speaker 1: going to be a challenge. I think that's their two
- 17:51Speaker 1: biggest challenge on their schedule. And what makes this even
- 17:55Speaker 1: more favorable for Georgia is they have no back to
- 17:59Speaker 1: back road game. Yeah, Oklahoma doesn't as well, not now
- 18:03Speaker 1: the P four games there are. They don't play a
- 18:07Speaker 1: P four game at home until after red River, but
- 18:12Speaker 1: there's no back to back road games, which is very favorable.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Which makes you think at the other nine and a
- 18:17Speaker 1: half is Texas. This is where things get even more difficult.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Different with them is they rolled against Tennessee by week
- 18:26Speaker 1: red River. Then they got three straight home games, which
- 18:30Speaker 1: of course is very much favorable, but then they have
- 18:33Speaker 1: back to back roads. They played three of their last
- 18:37Speaker 1: four games on the road at Missouri. Should be a
- 18:41Speaker 1: you know, at old school big twelve. So it should
- 18:43Speaker 1: actually be a little bit more of a challenge for
- 18:45Speaker 1: texasn't expected at Lane Kiffin and LSU Tigers, the fighting
- 18:49Speaker 1: Lane Kiffins. Now they got left tackle and they got
- 18:53Speaker 1: a quarterback. That could be something interesting, cause Seton is
- 18:59Speaker 1: a beast. Care what anybody say. Dude is good. He's
- 19:03Speaker 1: very good. He may not be the most refined, but
- 19:07Speaker 1: his just natural ability is that good. That's the thing
- 19:10Speaker 1: that kind of helps him. And then they travel to
- 19:14Speaker 1: College Station on Black Friday, the Ohio State game in
- 19:22Speaker 1: their mixed too like they start the season off just
- 19:24Speaker 1: like Oklahoma, except for Ohio States at the Crib, but
- 19:27Speaker 1: two of their three P four games are neutral site
- 19:33Speaker 1: or on the road to start the year, with Ohio
- 19:37Speaker 1: State helping them start the season off with three straight
- 19:39Speaker 1: home games. Julian is saying, to be another year older,
- 19:42Speaker 1: just like Arch. They got some they got a ball
- 19:47Speaker 1: in front of them. But that Tennessee game before us
- 19:52Speaker 1: with the bye week, similar to Oklahoma having Georgia and
- 19:59Speaker 1: then the bye and then Texas, that's where things are
- 20:02Speaker 1: really going to be intriguing personally.
- 20:04Speaker 3: And with Texas, which Texas do you get? Do you
- 20:08Speaker 3: get the early season Texas last year where receivers dropping balls,
- 20:14Speaker 3: your you know one hopping receivers, the offensive line you
- 20:20Speaker 3: know was was, I mean, not terrific. And but I
- 20:25Speaker 3: think that Texas is going to face the same situation
- 20:29Speaker 3: Oklahoma is is your ceiling is going to be one
- 20:32Speaker 3: hundred percent measured by number one, the offensive line, and
- 20:38Speaker 3: number two you're it's going to be measured a lot
- 20:41Speaker 3: by the progress of the quarterback arch Manning into the
- 20:46Speaker 3: you know, at the end of the year, I didn't
- 20:48Speaker 3: buy into Texas A and m and I think that
- 20:50Speaker 3: we saw that, Uh their defense was pretty good, you
- 20:53Speaker 3: know against Miami, but you know we just there their
- 20:57Speaker 3: offense just wasn't it's erratic. We saw the situation against
- 21:01Speaker 3: South Carolina to where they're just getting trounced at halftime.
- 21:05Speaker 3: So when that game was slated, even though Texas had
- 21:10Speaker 3: been struggling, you know, on the road with Mississippi State
- 21:13Speaker 3: and Kentucky, like I thought they're going to be the name.
- 21:17Speaker 3: So it is, it's do you get the back half
- 21:19Speaker 3: of the season arch Manning and is that offense.
- 21:22Speaker 2: Gonna be humming?
- 21:23Speaker 3: And then ones the defense look like under Will must Champigain.
- 21:28Speaker 3: You know, you you replace the defensive coordinator. You saw
- 21:31Speaker 3: some of your you know, your your your defense backfield,
- 21:35Speaker 3: your u Malik Muhammad and uh the safety his name
- 21:41Speaker 3: just leaves my head at the moment. But Taff, Yeah,
- 21:45Speaker 3: so you see those two guys, those are gone. Taff
- 21:47Speaker 3: was you know, kind of a heart and soul. He
- 21:50Speaker 3: was kind of there. Owen Heineke just a guy that
- 21:52Speaker 3: out is out there flying around making plays, and so
- 21:55Speaker 3: we'll see. You know, if I look at ou in Texas,
- 21:59Speaker 3: I look at from a standpoint of can the offense
- 22:03Speaker 3: now become more of a complimentary unit to the special
- 22:07Speaker 3: teams in the defense. And with Texas it's you got
- 22:12Speaker 3: tons of weapons, tons of weapons. Now there's no excuses
- 22:16Speaker 3: on offense. The offensive line still has to prove it
- 22:19Speaker 3: that they're going to be consistent. But they lost a
- 22:23Speaker 3: ton of running backs and I know that they got
- 22:26Speaker 3: Hollywood smothers and he had himself some good games against
- 22:31Speaker 3: some middle teams. Yeah, and so we'll see what happens.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Because you don't have any excuse on the offense. So
- 22:38Speaker 3: what does that defense look like? Well, I mean, this
- 22:42Speaker 3: is why we talk about it now, because it doesn't
- 22:44Speaker 3: really matter until you get on the field. I think
- 22:47Speaker 3: Ohio State's got a lot to prove and say, hey, listen,
- 22:50Speaker 3: is fourteen to seven. We controlled the whole game. The
- 22:53Speaker 3: only reason why there was any drama was because the
- 22:56Speaker 3: last couple of minutes last year. And so you come
- 22:59Speaker 3: down to Austin and get yourself a win that puts
- 23:03Speaker 3: Ohio State right back in the thick of it with everything,
- 23:06Speaker 3: and they're still gonna have Jeremi Smith, they're still gonna
- 23:08Speaker 3: have saying, you know, but they're losing a an awful
- 23:11Speaker 3: lot to the draft this year too.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what makes it so interesting. It's there's a
- 23:17Speaker 1: lot of refreshes that like, I'm gonna have this exact
- 23:20Speaker 1: same feeling about Oklahoma probably going into next year with
- 23:26Speaker 1: some of the refreshes we're probably going to do, especially
- 23:28Speaker 1: on defense. It's depending on who we lose. If a
- 23:34Speaker 1: huge season happens this year, very good chance, you know,
- 23:40Speaker 1: defensive line is gonna get gutted.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Yeah, that is.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Where you get afraid, right, like you're gonna have that
- 23:46Speaker 1: conversation about your own team if if things go that
- 23:51Speaker 1: particular direction, depending on who gets picked up. So, but
- 23:56Speaker 1: when I looked at the totals, though, I get where
- 23:58Speaker 1: Vegas is coming from. While the same time, in my eyes,
- 24:02Speaker 1: Troop be told hammering it over, man, it's no reason
- 24:05Speaker 1: why Oklahoma shouldn't hit that. Definitely gonna drop the pole.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Want to know what y'all think on this? Do you
- 24:16Speaker 1: uh do you think Oklahoma can hit the over? We'll
- 24:23Speaker 1: put that out there right now, and we gotta talk
- 24:27Speaker 1: a little bit of spring ball. So Coop them past
- 24:31Speaker 1: to you in a second. Thank you all for, of
- 24:34Speaker 1: course pulling up hit that like button. If you're new
- 24:37Speaker 1: to the channel, subscribe rate review, give us five stars.
- 24:40Speaker 1: I'm gonna drop here in a poll. Can Oklahoma repeat
- 24:45Speaker 1: with ten wins? How much y'all hit? Yes, and no
- 24:52Speaker 1: pole begins. But we got spring ball to preview workouts
- 24:58Speaker 1: have been happening, and y'all know people are excited about
- 25:01Speaker 1: specific players. We're hearing about freshman's you know, breaking out,
- 25:04Speaker 1: We're hearing about the transfer guys. We've heard the transfer
- 25:07Speaker 1: guys talk. A lot of them have kind of given
- 25:10Speaker 1: their perspective and thoughts of Oklahoma, and of course it's
- 25:13Speaker 1: good they like what they're seeing right now. So can't
- 25:18Speaker 1: beat that coop going into the spring camp. Man, what
- 25:22Speaker 1: are you looking at?
- 25:27Speaker 3: Let's start on the defense. What made Oklahoma so good
- 25:30Speaker 3: last year was the relentless pursuit by the defensive line.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Is you rolled in so many different guys. You know,
- 25:38Speaker 3: you had the late season emergence of Taylor Wine, you
- 25:42Speaker 3: had our Mason just as the known entity PJ out
- 25:46Speaker 3: there also, but you have those four defensive tackles between Halton,
- 25:51Speaker 3: Dominic Williams Jadon Jackson and David Stone. So you lose
- 25:56Speaker 3: Jade and Jai or sorry, you lose Don Williams and
- 25:59Speaker 3: you lose Baby and obviously g Baby is I mean,
- 26:03Speaker 3: he's flying up the draft boards right now. So you
- 26:05Speaker 3: you've got to find that backside production. And so I
- 26:11Speaker 3: was looking for who steps up? Is it a transfer?
- 26:14Speaker 3: Is it is it a younger guy? And then you
- 26:18Speaker 3: know you lose our Mason. Now you feel good because
- 26:22Speaker 3: we still got a Taylor Wine. But now you try
- 26:24Speaker 3: to say, okay, well on the other side, is it
- 26:26Speaker 3: going to be PJ stepping up and really taking over?
- 26:29Speaker 3: Is it going to be Danny Okoye continuing to progress
- 26:32Speaker 3: and take over? But there's three names on that defensive line.
- 26:36Speaker 3: Jay that I've been hearing a lot of great stuff
- 26:38Speaker 3: about Number one why at Gilmore.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Bv Miss and the pressure that he feels like he's
- 26:47Speaker 1: the next He's the next to wine breakout. And I
- 26:53Speaker 1: mean he came here as a four star player. I
- 26:56Speaker 1: was hoping he'd get his weight up and be ready.
- 26:58Speaker 1: It sounds like we're at that point.
- 27:01Speaker 3: It sounds like he has taken a step, and it
- 27:05Speaker 3: sounds like it is is a big thing. I mean,
- 27:07Speaker 3: why they did not play in Texas, he didn't play
- 27:09Speaker 3: in Florida, he didn't play in SEC country. He played
- 27:12Speaker 3: in Minnesota, and he don't You don't get a lot
- 27:16Speaker 3: of you don't get a lot of like great stories
- 27:20Speaker 3: about kids out of Minnesota. But the the pedigree that
- 27:25Speaker 3: is being built by Miguel Chavs and these outside guys
- 27:29Speaker 3: are absolutely just it's phenomenal because for the longest time,
- 27:34Speaker 3: it didn't matter who the defensive ends coach was like
- 27:37Speaker 3: we would have a guy kind of pop up and
- 27:39Speaker 3: be something immediately. We always depended on, you know, guys
- 27:43Speaker 3: like Eric Striker and Nick Benito to really be a
- 27:46Speaker 3: stand up, outside, rush off the edge type of a guy,
- 27:49Speaker 3: but not like a true defensive end. We didn't have
- 27:52Speaker 3: a lot of big time sacks. Now you've got Taylor
- 27:56Speaker 3: Wine who is another year in the system. He's got
- 27:59Speaker 3: the confidence, but there's gonna be film on him. So
- 28:03Speaker 3: you got you got White, Gilmore stepping up, Daniel Koye
- 28:07Speaker 3: a lot of people. I mean, he's been showing up.
- 28:10Speaker 3: I think he was on a Nash, it was on
- 28:12Speaker 3: Paul Finebaum.
- 28:14Speaker 2: People do not.
- 28:17Speaker 3: Fear what's going to happen on this defensive line because
- 28:20Speaker 3: they kind of trust Todd Baits, they trust Miguel Chavis.
- 28:24Speaker 3: But right now, your edge, your edge side just looks
- 28:28Speaker 3: phenomenal from having like I said, PJ. And he's going
- 28:31Speaker 3: to be coming off of a little surgery cleanup. You're
- 28:34Speaker 3: gonna have Taylor, You're gonna have a Koya. Now Gilmore
- 28:38Speaker 3: starting to get some some some good reviews also inside
- 28:44Speaker 3: go ahead and do you want.
- 28:45Speaker 1: I was gonna say add to that. As mentioned here
- 28:47Speaker 1: in the chat, someone to keep your eyes out. Jimmy
- 28:51Speaker 1: mentioned this CJJ Nixon, the former Hooper and big Edge.
- 28:58Speaker 1: The buzz around him is start to turn up as well,
- 29:02Speaker 1: which is what you were hoping for you You you
- 29:05Speaker 1: got him in state talent that's always a big deal.
- 29:10Speaker 1: And it appears that he is. He's starting to make
- 29:14Speaker 1: another name for himself as.
- 29:14Speaker 3: Well, and you throw him in as the potential fifth
- 29:19Speaker 3: defensive end, which is crazy.
- 29:22Speaker 2: I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that.
- 29:24Speaker 3: I if you're saying, hey, how can we you want
- 29:28Speaker 3: to be in a spot to where the coaches are
- 29:30Speaker 3: looking at you.
- 29:31Speaker 2: You saw it with Davon Jordan last year.
- 29:33Speaker 3: You've seen it with Boganowski, with any equation, like how
- 29:36Speaker 3: do we get him more snaps? And so you had
- 29:40Speaker 3: a number five defensive end and it's just a freakish
- 29:43Speaker 3: out athlete. Now, I think CJ is probably going to
- 29:46Speaker 3: be where a Koya was last year. It's it's the
- 29:48Speaker 3: learning of the game. It's the progressing of you know,
- 29:54Speaker 3: seeing you know something on the field, uh, you know,
- 29:57Speaker 3: taking the win and putting in your back pocket and
- 29:59Speaker 3: move onto the next snap. But then also sometimes, I
- 30:02Speaker 3: mean you're playing some of the best you know, offensive
- 30:05Speaker 3: linemen in the country, and there's gonna need to be
- 30:07Speaker 3: coachable moments. Well, the opposite on the offensive line the
- 30:11Speaker 3: past couple of years, as you couldn't bring guys off
- 30:13Speaker 3: to coach them up because we just didn't have the bodies.
- 30:16Speaker 3: So having the bodies is a good thing. But yeah,
- 30:23Speaker 3: moving inside, we know what we know what we're getting
- 30:27Speaker 3: out of David Stone, and I think that David is
- 30:30Speaker 3: probably going to be even leveled up a little bit more,
- 30:33Speaker 3: a little super sayan mode for my uh for my
- 30:36Speaker 3: uh uh dbz uh you know friends out there, but
- 30:41Speaker 3: you got Jaden, you got David. Those guys those are
- 30:44Speaker 3: well known entities. But our boy friend of the program.
- 30:49Speaker 3: Nigel Smith's starting to get a lot of rave reviews,
- 30:52Speaker 3: and if you don't have any Nigel Smith's stock, maybe
- 30:56Speaker 3: start buying some Nigel Smith stock because it is an
- 31:00Speaker 3: absolute just.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Treat to hear.
- 31:04Speaker 3: You know, Nigel was a little bit of a tweener.
- 31:06Speaker 3: We talked to him, you know, I think Chaves actually
- 31:09Speaker 3: called him during our interview. But you know, two years
- 31:12Speaker 3: two years, yeah, two years plus ago. You know, we
- 31:16Speaker 3: were talking to him about do you want to blow
- 31:18Speaker 3: up the quarterback on a sack or just plow offensive lineman?
- 31:23Speaker 3: And we asked him where do you want to play?
- 31:25Speaker 3: And you know, he gave the proper answer with you know, hey,
- 31:28Speaker 3: you know I just want to just wanna, you know,
- 31:31Speaker 3: do what's best for the team. Well, he's put on
- 31:33Speaker 3: the weight, he's moved inside. He's approaching that g Baby
- 31:36Speaker 3: year to waight right now, you know, approach that two nineties.
- 31:41Speaker 3: So G Baby is gone, You're gonna need another wrecker
- 31:45Speaker 3: inside and you're gonna need some more bodies. Dom Dom
- 31:48Speaker 3: was a big anchor. So I'm you know, I love
- 31:53Speaker 3: hearing about Nigel and I love hearing that people are
- 31:56Speaker 3: saying by Stock because it's not just hey, he's flashing.
- 32:00Speaker 3: It's like this is this is another guy you needed?
- 32:04Speaker 1: Yeah, it's less of uh oh, he's uh, he's flashing
- 32:08Speaker 1: in more of a no, no, no, there there's something
- 32:10Speaker 1: there like they think that he's gonna be some something
- 32:14Speaker 1: like he's he's showing glimmers of you could be the
- 32:19Speaker 1: next dude. And that was the one big thing with
- 32:21Speaker 1: him was health. He wasn't healthy the the last couple
- 32:28Speaker 1: of seasons. I think he had something with his ankle,
- 32:30Speaker 1: may have had a surgery, I'm not sure, but I
- 32:32Speaker 1: know he was dealing with some stuff. And the question
- 32:34Speaker 1: was how healthy will he be going into a year
- 32:37Speaker 1: And it sounds like he is. I'm here for that.
- 32:40Speaker 3: We need that, Yeah, definitely. So and Jeremy Stevens. Shield
- 32:44Speaker 3: Knight's a guy that a lot of people are gonna forget.
- 32:48Speaker 3: So kind of going with Robert's question, you know, what
- 32:50Speaker 3: are some guys that you didn't see anything out of shield.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Knight right now? Might be that number six edge guy.
- 32:57Speaker 3: And where I think in some of the you know,
- 33:00Speaker 3: big BV like Clemson lines as you just had first
- 33:04Speaker 3: round guy, first got first round guy, first round guy,
- 33:06Speaker 3: and but then what made it dangerous? Was the fact
- 33:09Speaker 3: that you had a bunch of fourth and fifth round
- 33:11Speaker 3: guys like back behind them, So there wasn't the big
- 33:14Speaker 3: drop off when you pulled one of those guys off
- 33:15Speaker 3: the field. You couldn't run on them to get a
- 33:18Speaker 3: switch out and expect it to be better. You just
- 33:20Speaker 3: got fresh legs after fresh legs after fresh legs. So
- 33:25Speaker 3: child Knight's one that, like I said, the coaches had
- 33:28Speaker 3: every moment to go, you know what we're going to
- 33:33Speaker 3: We're going to back off on him because we're higher
- 33:36Speaker 3: on some other guys. No, they stayed with him. They
- 33:37Speaker 3: believed in that that evel and he's starting to show off.
- 33:41Speaker 3: But another name that's hearing some stuff on is Trent Wilson.
- 33:46Speaker 3: And Trent Wilson.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Out of DC.
- 33:49Speaker 3: You know he's going to be a sophomore this year.
- 33:52Speaker 3: You need you know, that was a big question. Is
- 33:54Speaker 3: is he going to progress? Is he going to go
- 33:56Speaker 3: and take up that next spot? But Trent Wilson starting
- 33:58Speaker 3: to get.
- 33:59Speaker 1: A lot actualdge Okay.
- 34:01Speaker 3: Richer, Yes, So you've got that as another thing you
- 34:08Speaker 3: fold in Kenny Ozawalu coming out, you know, a transfer portal.
- 34:12Speaker 3: Another big guy who Brent Vinables is going to be
- 34:15Speaker 3: looking at shops BV at Chavis Baits. They're all going
- 34:19Speaker 3: to be pretty excited about that because he's a guy
- 34:21Speaker 3: that you can play on edge. He's a guy that
- 34:23Speaker 3: you can play in the middle. He has a lot
- 34:26Speaker 3: of versatility and now being coached up by Javis and Baits,
- 34:31Speaker 3: being in the Oklahoma strength and conditioning program, like, there's
- 34:34Speaker 3: a lot there. And so you right now feel pretty
- 34:38Speaker 3: good about five guys on the inside. And then you
- 34:42Speaker 3: still got some more transfers and some more young guys
- 34:45Speaker 3: like Brian Harris, who was You know, you don't want
- 34:50Speaker 3: to you don't want to depend on freshmen, especially in
- 34:55Speaker 3: the SEC, but if a freshman earns a couple of
- 34:58Speaker 3: snaps here and there, it's a big time opportunity.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and okay, Trader, I love this. And what's
- 35:05Speaker 1: crazy about this as you mentioned it? Yeah, yeah, Jane
- 35:09Speaker 1: Jackson was banged up and he still put up numbers
- 35:11Speaker 1: like at one point he was leading the team in
- 35:13Speaker 1: sacks and that's how you knew that the team was
- 35:18Speaker 1: progressing in the direction you were hoping for because he
- 35:23Speaker 1: was leading the team in sacks. Because everybody was so
- 35:27Speaker 1: focused on stopping ar Mason Thomas. They were so focused
- 35:31Speaker 1: on slowing down Marvin Jones Junior, the former five star.
- 35:35Speaker 1: They're looking at all these pieces that were attacking him,
- 35:38Speaker 1: and the interior said, oh, we're gonna go ahead and
- 35:40Speaker 1: jump in this game too. And you got that from
- 35:43Speaker 1: That's how you got Jay and Jackson to go out there.
- 35:47Speaker 1: And he actually put up he said he put up
- 35:49Speaker 1: some put up some solid number. I think he finished
- 35:51Speaker 1: was that he had three sacks last year eleven tackles,
- 35:55Speaker 1: three sacks of pressure, seven hurries and that was after
- 35:58Speaker 1: he even missed I think a couple of games or whatnot.
- 36:03Speaker 1: So but yeah, it sounds like Jacob Henry's holding his
- 36:06Speaker 1: own needs to get up a three hundred. He probably
- 36:08Speaker 1: has passed it. We'll get probably weights and stuff this week.
- 36:13Speaker 1: I've been refreshing the Sooner Sports site to see the
- 36:17Speaker 1: weight changes and everything, and of course you know, we'll
- 36:20Speaker 1: we'll be talking about all of that once. It's probably
- 36:27Speaker 1: gonna be close to Wednesday. We'll get that, and I
- 36:30Speaker 1: know BV will also give us the latest update on
- 36:37Speaker 1: injuries and stuff like PJ had to have surgery, and
- 36:43Speaker 1: maybe get an update on Daniel Akinkumi, who posts the
- 36:47Speaker 1: picture of him going under the knife. But that to me,
- 36:52Speaker 1: I really want to know what's up with PJ. But
- 36:55Speaker 1: that still opens the door. Like we mentioned before, when
- 36:57Speaker 1: we're talking inter you guys, you had or extra your
- 37:04Speaker 1: guys with why Gilmour being one that should break out?
- 37:08Speaker 1: Maybe here's something from shild Night HEXCJ Nixon may be dead, dude.
- 37:11Speaker 1: We expect Daniel Koye to be the other starter. So
- 37:16Speaker 1: it appears that we are we're putting together the competitive
- 37:22Speaker 1: depth that we need.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Jay, should I tease?
- 37:31Speaker 3: I want to tease a little something about the unit
- 37:33Speaker 3: that would be playing right behind, right behind our defensive line,
- 37:38Speaker 3: and that's our linebackers. I think that you mentioned if
- 37:42Speaker 3: you have a really good this year, this year, you
- 37:44Speaker 3: potentially lose a lot of guys on the defensive line,
- 37:47Speaker 3: and so you needs So I mean, obviously this defense
- 37:50Speaker 3: begins and ends with the defensive line, because if you
- 37:53Speaker 3: can create pressure, you allow Courtland Gillery and Eli Bowen
- 37:57Speaker 3: to be extremely.
- 38:00Speaker 2: Aggressive.
- 38:01Speaker 3: You'll let the safeties come in and support where they're needing.
- 38:05Speaker 3: But Bevi's a linebacker guy, and as of right now,
- 38:09Speaker 3: your your linebacker is probably slated to be Kip Lewis
- 38:15Speaker 3: Cole Sullivan. But Jay, what if I said that the
- 38:19Speaker 3: owen Heinike battle is still ongoing.
- 38:24Speaker 1: I mean, Jim Maggie mentioned it, so I guess we
- 38:30Speaker 1: should chit chat about it. Thank y'all for pulling up
- 38:34Speaker 1: hit the like button. If you are new to the channel,
- 38:38Speaker 1: subscribe rate review give us five stars. As we all know,
- 38:42Speaker 1: Jim Naggy mentioned that the owen Heinek they're gonna sue
- 38:45Speaker 1: and they don't keep that battle going. I am stilling
- 38:47Speaker 1: to believe that kid ain't coming back. You're going pro.
- 38:50Speaker 1: But I have shifted my ninety percentile confidence of him
- 38:55Speaker 1: bouncing to more of a sixty five percent. And I
- 38:59Speaker 1: say that because his weight at the combine or at
- 39:06Speaker 1: the Pro Day made me think that if they can
- 39:10Speaker 1: win this case, it would be smarter for him to
- 39:16Speaker 1: come back one more year because he came in. Let
- 39:23Speaker 1: me see Pro day weight six one two twenty nine
- 39:28Speaker 1: thirty just about two thirty. It's not bad, but it's light.
- 39:36Speaker 1: He needs to close there to forty, and it needs
- 39:39Speaker 1: to be a sustainable to forty, as in, he's probably
- 39:42Speaker 1: gonna need to be two fifty going into the season
- 39:46Speaker 1: and play at around two thirty five to forty consistently.
- 39:52Speaker 1: He's probably honestly, if they win this, it will make
- 39:57Speaker 1: sense when to come back.
- 39:59Speaker 2: So here is.
- 40:04Speaker 3: Some factors in this. Roger Denny is an attorney, and
- 40:09Speaker 3: I know that we've mentioned this before.
- 40:13Speaker 1: He knows a.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Lot about a lot.
- 40:16Speaker 3: So I would say that let's watch for stuff around
- 40:20Speaker 3: this week because I think that by the end of
- 40:23Speaker 3: this week we'll probably have something a little bit more public.
- 40:26Speaker 3: And you're at sixty five, I think I'm at fifty five.
- 40:30Speaker 3: I think I'm fifty five percent of him going. But
- 40:33Speaker 3: I think that if it gets ruled for him to
- 40:35Speaker 3: if he wins, if we win the case, don't be
- 40:38Speaker 3: surprised that we get a big announcement. And why that matters.
- 40:44Speaker 3: I absolutely feel that Owen Heinike is probably not a
- 40:49Speaker 3: guy that is going to be first or second team
- 40:53Speaker 3: on actual NFL team. I think he's going to be
- 40:56Speaker 3: a scout guy. I think he's gonna get his opportunity
- 40:58Speaker 3: on special teams. That's where he made his bones here
- 41:02Speaker 3: before this year. I just don't think he's ready. So
- 41:07Speaker 3: then you have to go, all right, ohen this is
- 41:09Speaker 3: what you're probably gonna make as an undrafted free agent
- 41:12Speaker 3: or a seventh round draft pick or something like that.
- 41:14Speaker 3: We can beat that. The NIL is going to beat
- 41:16Speaker 3: that here. So just know that it's not done yet.
- 41:20Speaker 3: I expect something this week. And Jay, you and I
- 41:25Speaker 3: both said for months, guys, don't read into this. It's gone,
- 41:30Speaker 3: it's over. But it ain't over till it's over.
- 41:34Speaker 1: Everybody he's talking about it. That's where I've been at
- 41:37Speaker 1: the man, this kid ain't coming back. Keep going pro
- 41:39Speaker 1: and chuck, as you mentioned, the whole point of going playing,
- 41:42Speaker 1: you know, playing college is to hit the NFL. Right,
- 41:44Speaker 1: your opportunity is there. It sounds like there's a favorable
- 41:46Speaker 1: gray go. But then everyone keeps mentioning, Okay, we're gonna sue.
- 41:50Speaker 1: There's the possibility of thisthing, like why why are we
- 41:54Speaker 1: facing chasing that? That's when I started thinking about it.
- 41:56Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, when I look at the measurements that
- 41:59Speaker 1: he came in on, they must think that one, he'd
- 42:02Speaker 1: make more to come back here at OU at NIL.
- 42:07Speaker 1: Two he'll get way more playing time, So those reps
- 42:11Speaker 1: will probably be a good thing for him, and he'll
- 42:13Speaker 1: be able to put in more weight, which should help
- 42:16Speaker 1: him to be able to help his grade because if anything,
- 42:19Speaker 1: to me, I think his grade probably drop because he's
- 42:22Speaker 1: not too fifty at sixty to one. I think Teddy
- 42:24Speaker 1: Layman played it like too forty eight and he was
- 42:28Speaker 1: about six to one.
- 42:29Speaker 2: So he's not faster.
- 42:32Speaker 1: It's like faster he needs more weight. I mean running
- 42:36Speaker 1: four six two. I mean Shuttle was solid at four
- 42:38Speaker 1: two five, but he needs to run running four six two.
- 42:42Speaker 1: If he could shave that down to like a four
- 42:44Speaker 1: or five five while also adding weight, that could help him.
- 42:50Speaker 1: I'm not sold on the one in this case because
- 42:52Speaker 1: the path for me is I'm still asking the question,
- 42:55Speaker 1: the question I've asked this entire time. What is the
- 42:58Speaker 1: argument that the lacrosse thing, it could have red shirted him? There? Cool,
- 43:03Speaker 1: maybe you can do that. Your issue that you could
- 43:07Speaker 1: run into is like if the only availability is really
- 43:12Speaker 1: like a red shirt or a medical red shirt, you
- 43:17Speaker 1: can only play so many games. So I'm trying to
- 43:19Speaker 1: figure out. I don't see where the path is. Now.
- 43:23Speaker 1: They may have a good argument, better, much big argument
- 43:25Speaker 1: than me. I just haven't seen the path.
- 43:27Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it's precedent. I think that now
- 43:30Speaker 3: with so many people that have won these fifth eighth
- 43:35Speaker 3: like tenth. I think there was a tenth beer player.
- 43:37Speaker 1: Yeah, there is. So see, the thing with them is different.
- 43:40Speaker 1: All of them have been that have happened within the
- 43:42Speaker 1: first two games. That's where the challenge comes in.
- 43:48Speaker 3: But you got fifteen minutes of lacrosse. So I just say,
- 43:51Speaker 3: expect something, expect something this week. But why it matters is,
- 43:55Speaker 3: obviously we know what Owen Heineke would be here. He
- 43:59Speaker 3: would get a lot of preseason accolades, he would get
- 44:02Speaker 3: a lot of notoriety, a lot more eyeballs would be
- 44:05Speaker 3: on him. He's only got one year of film and
- 44:08Speaker 3: as great as special teams players. He was like, the
- 44:11Speaker 3: NFL's not doing that. They're going to go get a
- 44:13Speaker 3: guy who could potentially be a backup for a backup
- 44:15Speaker 3: for a backup. But you bring him back, you give
- 44:18Speaker 3: him another year of film. He's going to make more money. Listen,
- 44:22Speaker 3: dude's smart as hell. So if he has to go
- 44:24Speaker 3: professional and something else in football, or if he wants
- 44:27Speaker 3: to go a different route and you know, maybe work
- 44:30Speaker 3: it that way, that may still be on the case
- 44:32Speaker 3: if he ends up going this year.
- 44:34Speaker 2: But what it does is it gives you.
- 44:36Speaker 3: That that three person rotation linebacker that you feel really
- 44:40Speaker 3: really good about. It also even opens up some opportunity
- 44:43Speaker 3: for Cole Sullivan to play some cheetah and then you're
- 44:47Speaker 3: rotating some guys in kind of how you saw Samuel
- 44:49Speaker 3: Masigo do throughout you know, two years ago and then
- 44:52Speaker 3: this past year. So I think that that's big because
- 44:57Speaker 3: the backup to the backup to the linebackers, back up
- 45:00Speaker 3: to the defensive line, those were the big questions for
- 45:04Speaker 3: me on this defense. I feel good about defensive back,
- 45:06Speaker 3: I feel great about safety, but we were really thin
- 45:10Speaker 3: on those on those front two lines, and so that
- 45:13Speaker 3: gives it an opportunity. And rob You're you're right, Robert, like,
- 45:20Speaker 3: but I will say this is Naggy is the one
- 45:24Speaker 3: that's putting together the the nil package and the if
- 45:29Speaker 3: this wins, I'm pretty sure Naggi wants to see him
- 45:32Speaker 3: back here. He wants the best four to zero and
- 45:34Speaker 3: and I think that Naggy knows it could be potentially,
- 45:38Speaker 3: you know, getting him a lot of more notoriety and
- 45:41Speaker 3: get him, like you said, some more weights. So as
- 45:43Speaker 3: far as the defensive side of the ball, like, I'm
- 45:46Speaker 3: still super jacked, Like I think that this defense is
- 45:50Speaker 3: going to be great because you've got familiar names that
- 45:53Speaker 3: are going to still be making big plays. And then
- 45:56Speaker 3: now we're starting to hear some rumblings. Now I'm not basing.
- 46:00Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say this defensive line is gonna be
- 46:02Speaker 3: as good as last year. But I just I'm all
- 46:06Speaker 3: right now I'm at the I don't think there's gonna
- 46:07Speaker 3: be much of a drop off from last year me either.
- 46:10Speaker 1: I think that they've prepared for this. Will the mentorship
- 46:15Speaker 1: from the other guys, think they prepare for that. Now
- 46:17Speaker 1: as we can talk about the linebacker position a little
- 46:19Speaker 1: bit more, Oh, we need to also weave in, Robert.
- 46:22Speaker 1: You had a great question in here earlier that I started,
- 46:28Speaker 1: and I feel like it's definitely one to really go in.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Is who are gonna who are going to be the
- 46:35Speaker 1: three to four players that stand out and are pleasant
- 46:37Speaker 1: surprises that no one was expecting. I'll grab one from
- 46:42Speaker 1: each group D line. I'm gonna say it's probably CJ. Nixon.
- 46:50Speaker 1: I think why Gilmore is probably gonna be the next
- 46:52Speaker 1: Taylor Wan as BB said, but I think Nixon may
- 46:54Speaker 1: come out and show up and be like, oh, now
- 46:56Speaker 1: we have to play this guy. We know Kennyosawaaluo is
- 46:59Speaker 1: gonna be one of those. He's basically been ordained. But
- 47:02Speaker 1: I think he Nixon could be linebacker Marcus James because
- 47:08Speaker 1: I think Nessa is gonna be a strong rotational piece.
- 47:14Speaker 1: I think that Marcus James is right there with him,
- 47:17Speaker 1: and they're both freaking huge guys. Like my favorite part
- 47:21Speaker 1: about how twenty six is gonna go and how twenty
- 47:24Speaker 1: seven should start, We're gonna have two linebackers that are
- 47:28Speaker 1: over six four or six to four or above playing
- 47:33Speaker 1: and it should be starting or at least rotating. Because
- 47:37Speaker 1: Cole Sullivan sixty three, he's built like Danny Stutsman. Literally
- 47:41Speaker 1: literally same size. They're built out the exact same It's
- 47:45Speaker 1: very similar. It's kind of terrifying. You're gonna be honest.
- 47:49Speaker 1: Both Nessa and James are about two forty something at
- 47:54Speaker 1: six four, and I think James kind of teeters close
- 47:58Speaker 1: to sixty five. Look, having huge linebackers is fun because
- 48:08Speaker 1: it really makes it hard to get the ball across
- 48:10Speaker 1: the middle. We have two huge dudes that are also
- 48:13Speaker 1: sizey like wait wise to really like fill up gaps.
- 48:21Speaker 1: That's gonna be fun. I mean, Kobe was six to two,
- 48:23Speaker 1: kip six to one, but you had two six four
- 48:26Speaker 1: dudes right behind there. I think Marcus James could be
- 48:30Speaker 1: the surpriser on that one.
- 48:34Speaker 2: I would, and I'm gonna go.
- 48:40Speaker 3: Bishop Thomas on the defensive line. We didn't even mention
- 48:44Speaker 3: him earlier, but I think Bishop Thomas has, yeah, transfer,
- 48:48Speaker 3: he's got a lot of experience.
- 48:52Speaker 2: You know, he's been what was he in Georgia State?
- 48:54Speaker 2: Is that right?
- 48:55Speaker 1: His last stop was Georgia State. He's been a time
- 48:57Speaker 1: in Colorado, Florida State. He had like four different places
- 49:02Speaker 1: that he spent some time.
- 49:03Speaker 3: He's been around the block. So you get a guy
- 49:07Speaker 3: like that who can be a calming influence on things.
- 49:13Speaker 3: But then also, like we've already seen Brett Vinnables, will
- 49:16Speaker 3: rotate dudes in the second series of the game that
- 49:20Speaker 3: are like fourth string dudes, and so expect maybe him there.
- 49:26Speaker 3: I'm I'm with you with Marcus James. I I just
- 49:30Speaker 3: I love that guy, and I think that I think
- 49:34Speaker 3: that him learning to be more of a heady player
- 49:39Speaker 3: was that was it. It was all athletic instinct. It's
- 49:42Speaker 3: kind of like Danny Okoye. It's just hey, man, seaball
- 49:45Speaker 3: get ball well, at linebacker. You can't be that way,
- 49:48Speaker 3: like you got to have some decent restraint with you.
- 49:51Speaker 3: And so my hope, my hope is Marcus James becomes
- 49:57Speaker 3: what we saw the Crimson missile, you know, kind of trajected,
- 50:02Speaker 3: you know, you know, in the past. But obviously he
- 50:06Speaker 3: got homesick, he leaves, So I think that's that's.
- 50:10Speaker 1: Last season. Oh yeah, god, yeah, everywhere.
- 50:14Speaker 3: So I mean, those are the guys that I'm that
- 50:16Speaker 3: I'm thinking, you know, when he comes to safety, I mean,
- 50:20Speaker 3: I'm I'm really excited to see man Man, really really
- 50:23Speaker 3: excited to see a man man.
- 50:24Speaker 1: He's Robinson, Yeah, and he mentioned he was one at
- 50:28Speaker 1: there or they've been trying to find ways to get
- 50:30Speaker 1: on the field. Party leaving opens it up specifically for
- 50:34Speaker 1: man Man.
- 50:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 50:35Speaker 1: One that I'm actually intrigued by too, when we go
- 50:38Speaker 1: there on the defensive side is and I think this
- 50:40Speaker 1: one was gonna end up being a breakout player right behind,
- 50:46Speaker 1: right behind Powers. It's gonna be Nukem. I think Jeremiah
- 50:50Speaker 1: nukelemb may even outplay how Davon Jordan play last year,
- 50:53Speaker 1: because if I'm correct, Nukelem was probably gonna be the
- 50:56Speaker 1: next dude up until he got hurt after the first game,
- 51:00Speaker 1: and that's when Davon and Jordan came in and he
- 51:04Speaker 1: started to give you some good stuff. I can see
- 51:08Speaker 1: Nukeomb being that guy. He's a stout, stocky dude and
- 51:12Speaker 1: fight his whole life, ready to hit people. And like
- 51:17Speaker 1: I said, he only played the Illinois State game. I
- 51:20Speaker 1: think he got hurt. He ended up having surgery. He
- 51:22Speaker 1: didn't play. That's one that to me could be another
- 51:28Speaker 1: one for real.
- 51:31Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm with you on that one. You know,
- 51:33Speaker 3: Jacoby Johnson has had his chances. His biggest saying was
- 51:38Speaker 3: can I turn around and find the ball? And we
- 51:40Speaker 3: saw a lot of that out of him. Think that
- 51:42Speaker 3: he's the big girl, yea. He he definitely made better, uh,
- 51:48Speaker 3: you know, better opportunities. But when I when I think
- 51:52Speaker 3: about Nukem, I think of Josiah Wagner, And you know,
- 51:57Speaker 3: Jy Wagner was a guy who leading up to the
- 51:59Speaker 3: s and we were hearing a lot of buzz that
- 52:01Speaker 3: he might actually be the starter. Going into game one.
- 52:06Speaker 3: I think he got a little dinged up and then
- 52:10Speaker 3: kind of kind of took it away. But Nukem is
- 52:12Speaker 3: a guy who is super intelligent. He he's got a
- 52:15Speaker 3: little BALLHWK to him. I mean he's he's a short guy,
- 52:18Speaker 3: but so was Eli and he is going to be
- 52:21Speaker 3: a big player when it comes out of that defensive
- 52:25Speaker 3: defensive back room, and you're probably going to get him
- 52:28Speaker 3: on a lot of slot and so I think that's uh,
- 52:31Speaker 3: that's that's where it gets gets me kind of excited
- 52:33Speaker 3: because he can move. So but yeah, I mean, this
- 52:36Speaker 3: defense is going to be an exciting defense to watch.
- 52:40Speaker 3: I really can't wait because you get to Michigan and
- 52:44Speaker 3: this defense had them in hell last year.
- 52:46Speaker 2: Agree, I mean they did.
- 52:48Speaker 3: They did not want to press anything with that young
- 52:51Speaker 3: quarterback in Norman. So now he's still shown that he's
- 52:55Speaker 3: he's very very susceptible to the interception. He's still shown
- 52:58Speaker 3: that he's very very uh, you know, indecisive. And so
- 53:03Speaker 3: I mean it's new coach, new coaching staff. How does
- 53:07Speaker 3: this you know, what's my progress look versus that game
- 53:11Speaker 3: in Norman last year. And I think this, this defense
- 53:14Speaker 3: is probably gonna be very very very game to go
- 53:17Speaker 3: up to Michigan.
- 53:21Speaker 1: That's gonna be the fun one. We get up to
- 53:24Speaker 1: Michigan and we're really gonna learn about what the rotation
- 53:26Speaker 1: is gonna look like now we already know that Boglanowski
- 53:33Speaker 1: and Bowen are gonna be fun. I ain't tripping on
- 53:35Speaker 1: those two, he Boganowski. I mean, Bowen may actually get
- 53:38Speaker 1: more picks Cheetah one hundred percent of Reggie power spot.
- 53:42Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you may see. You may see a mixture
- 53:48Speaker 1: of like I said, Nukelem or Taylor him mixed in there,
- 53:52Speaker 1: just to give you a extra Hi, you may I
- 53:54Speaker 1: don't I don't know. I don't know if Nesta Nesta
- 53:56Speaker 1: could even run something like that. Jacob Curry heard. He's
- 53:59Speaker 1: fast enough, he could be very much. But that middle
- 54:04Speaker 1: part is gonna be good. And of course you're outside
- 54:06Speaker 1: is fine. Kobe Johnson with Courtland Gilliery, Eli Bowen, Tristan Haynes.
- 54:12Speaker 1: That's probably your four corners right there, hurrying great things
- 54:15Speaker 1: about Dakota Fields and his mentality and the how serious
- 54:21Speaker 1: he's taken things. That's another one that should be good.
- 54:24Speaker 1: So defense wise, again, no true concerns. Let's jump in.
- 54:29Speaker 1: Probably should go ahead and talk about, you know, of course,
- 54:32Speaker 1: the offense. Thank y'all for pulling up. Hit that like button.
- 54:35Speaker 1: If you're new to the channel, subscribe rate review, give
- 54:37Speaker 1: us five stars, gonna drop a pole. How many defensive
- 54:41Speaker 1: players do you think we'll have a break out season.
- 54:49Speaker 1: We're gonna put that in the poll, y'all. Let me
- 54:51Speaker 1: know what y'all think. They're in the Commons section. Coop offense.
- 54:56Speaker 1: Where you gonna start.
- 55:01Speaker 3: It's got to startle the offensive line. We heard some
- 55:06Speaker 3: stuff about Amar and Harris being the right tackle. I
- 55:12Speaker 3: think that your guard rotation is still not up for
- 55:17Speaker 3: grabs because nobody is good enough. But I think that
- 55:20Speaker 3: you have a solid set of players who can give
- 55:25Speaker 3: you great time. And I'm very happy, very very happy
- 55:30Speaker 3: Jay to see depth on the offensive line. You know,
- 55:35Speaker 3: we talked to one of the parents last year and
- 55:38Speaker 3: it was hard for guys to get healthy because there
- 55:42Speaker 3: weren't enough guys to take snaps. So as you're battling
- 55:45Speaker 3: something you couldn't I mean, you couldn't afford to because
- 55:50Speaker 3: you didn't want to lose your spot in the very
- 55:52Speaker 3: very short pecking order. But then you couldn't afford to
- 55:55Speaker 3: because you didn't you know, you didn't want to like
- 55:57Speaker 3: show the coaches that, like you were not mentally tough
- 56:00Speaker 3: enough to do this.
- 56:01Speaker 2: And so.
- 56:03Speaker 3: I think that the it all starts with how does
- 56:08Speaker 3: fo Jay and PHASUSI progress? Those guys are five stars
- 56:12Speaker 3: for a reason.
- 56:14Speaker 2: And the question and I can't remember.
- 56:18Speaker 3: I was listening to somebody while I was doing some
- 56:20Speaker 3: work outside the other day and and they brought up
- 56:23Speaker 3: the fact that likes there's a lot of people Bill
- 56:26Speaker 3: Beaateenbow has been the most polarizing coach on this coaching staff,
- 56:30Speaker 3: you know, for quite a long time now. And that's
- 56:34Speaker 3: a tough thing, you know, just kind of like the offense.
- 56:36Speaker 3: When you saw that twenty seventeen offensive line, that Joe
- 56:39Speaker 3: Moore Award winning offensive line, you saw those guys, those
- 56:42Speaker 3: first rounders come through here, you got to the point
- 56:46Speaker 3: where you're like, it's always going to be this way.
- 56:48Speaker 2: Well, we've seen some.
- 56:49Speaker 3: Pretty offensive offensive lines for the past couple of years,
- 56:54Speaker 3: and a lot of people want to say, all right, listen, Bill,
- 56:57Speaker 3: this is your year, like you need this. This offense
- 57:00Speaker 3: of line was not good last year. It was serviceable.
- 57:09Speaker 3: And I think that we saw that in the Alabama game.
- 57:12Speaker 3: We saw that in the Old Miss game. We've seen
- 57:14Speaker 3: it in a couple different you know, the Auburn game
- 57:16Speaker 3: was a big one. So it starts with ASUSI and FOJ. Sorry, guys,
- 57:21Speaker 3: you get the five stars, you get the nil, you
- 57:24Speaker 3: get the expectations. It's taking a step up to where
- 57:28Speaker 3: this offensive line's basement is being good, because if you're
- 57:33Speaker 3: just good, we can do a lot. If you're a
- 57:39Speaker 3: pretty good offensive line or a very good offensive line,
- 57:43Speaker 3: this team has everything out in front of them everything.
- 57:48Speaker 3: If you're a great offensive line, we know what we're
- 57:51Speaker 3: talking about at that point.
- 57:53Speaker 1: And it was the actually mentioned hearing the comments about
- 57:57Speaker 1: McCullough really getting something out of the running back room,
- 58:01Speaker 1: and that's one hundred percent going to be based upon
- 58:06Speaker 1: what this old line looks like a few of you
- 58:08Speaker 1: have asked a question in the comments I mentioned it before.
- 58:10Speaker 1: Uk Dan aka dan kN Kumi posted a picture of
- 58:14Speaker 1: him in the hospital, so obviously that means he's had
- 58:16Speaker 1: some sort of surgery or something where he's going off
- 58:18Speaker 1: under a knife or something. That's something we've got to
- 58:21Speaker 1: we'll be monitoring. We'll wait and see what BV says
- 58:25Speaker 1: this week. It's probably gonna be Tuesday or Wednesday night
- 58:29Speaker 1: BV will talk or whatnot, and so we'll find out
- 58:33Speaker 1: what the heck's going on there and really be able
- 58:35Speaker 1: to dive into it. But besides that, he said, Marion Harris,
- 58:42Speaker 1: at your right, it means Foge can get himself going,
- 58:45Speaker 1: get himself at the right wait and speed. He can
- 58:48Speaker 1: play in tier in exterior. Fasusi needs to get himself right.
- 58:52Speaker 1: Same thing with Ozaida as well as EPL. And then
- 58:57Speaker 1: the questions at center, doesna take the job away from Michael?
- 59:01Speaker 1: And Michael how you hang on to it? Which Michael
- 59:03Speaker 1: was solid when he was healthy. It's gotta keep that going.
- 59:08Speaker 1: So now I'm curiously how that goes.
- 59:11Speaker 3: You're You're you're right the offensive line, having a set
- 59:18Speaker 3: of guys who've been healthy, but then again having the
- 59:22Speaker 3: depth to take a breather.
- 59:24Speaker 2: It's gonna be big.
- 59:25Speaker 3: So I mean, if you had to ask me, as
- 59:26Speaker 3: of right now you're starting FSUSI, I'm still gonna go
- 59:34Speaker 3: with Osaida. I think at that point you have Michael,
- 59:40Speaker 3: fo j and the Harris. I think that there's a
- 59:43Speaker 3: good rotation of Ozaida and EPL. A lot of the
- 59:47Speaker 3: a lot of the younger guys have been talking about
- 59:49Speaker 3: how EPL has been the one that's been helping them
- 59:51Speaker 3: progress with their mentality and everything like that. I think
- 59:54Speaker 3: Ozaida just being healthy again. It is a big deal.
- 59:58Speaker 3: That's going to be a battle. I would love to say,
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: see it just be Epl because I feel like that
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: we did better in running the ball when Epl was
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: in there. He was like the only one that was
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: actually like creating push.
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: And so.
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: Then you talk about the backups, and that's where you
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: have Caleb Nitta. That's uh, you know, that's where you
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: you know, you hope that uk Dan can get back
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: in there and to get himself into you know.
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: The snaps.
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: But we got to see this offensive line actually play
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: well because running because of you know.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: You've got to be able to rely.
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: It's it's hard enough to play football when you've got
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: to read a defense. Everything is disguised and you don't
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: know what's coming at you. You can go off of film,
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: where you can go off of feel, you can go
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: off of indicators, but nobody ever is predicting the right
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: guard just to let somebody come running through, or the
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: right tackle just to get blown onto his ass, and
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: you're running back to being the wrong spot for pass
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: pro Like, you can't predict those things, and it's hard
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: to trust a play design and keep your eyes down
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: feel to see open wide receivers if you know that
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: somebody's about to be up in your grill pretty quickly. Now,
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: this team was better at pass pro than they were
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: at run. We talked about the usage, We talked about
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: the production of Jeometsier. You need the You need the
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: offensive line to come out with an attitude. And that's
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: the number one thing I want to see in spring.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: Does not matter.
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: I don't give a crap who's out there, Jay, I
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: don't care if it's me and you out there playing
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: right and left tackle. I want to see an attitude
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: of putting dudes on their butt, and I don't care
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: if it's this defensive line, like because if you could
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: have some success against this defensive line running, you can
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: do it against anybody, yep. But having the attitude that
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. We're giving you one hundred and twenty
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: five percent and you're gonna have to match us. I
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: want to see that mentality out of this offensive line.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: That is the one thing I'm hoping that we get
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: out of them as well. I'll go out there, push
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: your current defensive line around some and make sure this
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: defensive line is helping them refine themselves to go up
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: against some of the best. I mean, we had arguably
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: the best one in the country at least an sec
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: at minimum, and it was proven we were stopping the
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: run like crazy. Your top runners weren't getting those running
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: yards on us like they was everybody else. I mean,
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: Justine Hayzen. I think it was the only running back
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: that actually had one hundred yards total in a game,
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: and that was because he had a seventy five yard
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: touchdown to start the game because our true freshman missed
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: his spot. That happens. That was the second game of
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: his career. He was sit in the wrong spot. He
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: made up four for the rest of the season, though,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: didn't he Nobody else was out there doing that. That
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: to me tells you how tough that line was. My hardy,
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: the nation's top rusher, not even with Prebula out there
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: still being able to scramble around. We don't allow it.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: So that's gonna be on on McCulla and beaten Bow together.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: Which the good thing is is that Kevin Wilson and
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: McCulla are very close because that was the first job
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: that McCulla got was with Kevin Wilson. They know how
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: to work together and they'll be able to figure out
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: how to get these backs going. And again we got
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: four backs. So if I'm looking at this first off,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: I think Mitam may actually get a lot more snaps
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: than y'all expect, and I think he actually may be
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: pretty effective on the offensive line in that interior, which
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: is always a plus. Standout fors though, Man des Walker
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: is gonna shock everybody. He's already the talk of the town.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: He's very good in past pro and that's usually what
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: gets you on the football field. That's what's important. But
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: whide receiver is where everybody cares the most. It's cool
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: we care more about wide receiver than anything and I'm
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: gonna give you a Bowl win on this one. I
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: think Jamichael Carter is gonna end up being one of
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: your top wide receivers this season. John Mattier may actually
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: put up a lot more numbers than y'all expect, like
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: a lot. I think he's gonna put up more numbers
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: than he did at Washington State in his best year.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: Because I think from Trail to Satania to Jamichael to
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: Parker living Stone and then everybody else that could come
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: up in et. You know, Elijah Thomas could show out
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: a many choice could show out, Jane Petite could show out.
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: I really think that Materier's number are gonna fly because
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: these wide receivers are gonna do a great job of
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: getting open in space this year. And I ain't talk
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: about tight ends yet. That's why I think about receiver
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: Jamichael Carter is the breakout player for me this season
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: at wide receiver, especially on offense period. Jamichael car is
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: going to be the one. After what he did against
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: Alabama the two times he got in the field against them,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: I think he's ready. He understands the in ay blocks.
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: And here's where I'm Here's where I kind of go
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: with this is we know who Satania is. People are
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: going to early in the season. Satanna is going to
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: be the focal point of everything. And we saw it
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: against Alabama. We saw it against LSU when he became
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: the focus, it was all right, how do we get
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: somebody else included into the game. And I think that
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: you need that possession type wide receiver, a big body
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: person that you can see running around out in space.
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: And that's why I like Jamarko Carter. I think the
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: Treill Harris, we're already hearing those things about him.
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: Is he is who he is. Uh.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: He came here because of Materr. But I think that
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: him and Satania are going to get a lot of
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: the the cover shifts, you know, towards them in their areas.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: But I think that I'm with you.
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: I would also say that like another big body person,
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: if if you have because this just is what it is.
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: But if Carter and let's go with a James Pettit
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: or let's go with a main a choice. If those
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: guys are playing the same position and about the same production,
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: they're all blocking, if they're all.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: Route running, well.
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: Watch for the young guys too. But I'll go with
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: Jamichael Carter and then let's let's go inside because I
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: think that you kind of have to go hand in
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: hand with this is the tight ends are gonna have
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: a lots to say with the blocking, but they're also
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: going to have a lot to say with the route running.
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: And having two tight ends on the field who can
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: do both is something this offense has not had here recently.
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: I mean maybe since twenty eighteen is when it was CALC.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: When it was CALC, you know, before the concussions. That's
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: where I'm you know that you got that opportunity to
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: be a thread on the blocking side. And if you're
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: in Jay, this is everybody says a tight end is
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: quarterback's best friend, and then they say a running game
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: is a tight end or is a quarterback's best friend.
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: Both of them involve functional tight ends.
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: And so if you can have that opportunity to be
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: to have some enforcement on the running game and then
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: also have the weapons spread out is I don't think
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: that you can really dial down on anywhere specific. And
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: if our buckle is worth the job that he's being
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: paid to do, then he's going to find a way
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: to get guys open. And if you can rely on
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: that offensive line, rely on that run game, material gets
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: to sit back there with an improved offensive line who
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: was decent at pass protecting last year and choose where
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: he wants to go.
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna have options. Now. The best part about
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: options is that is in the tight end room, Jason Witten. Yeah,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: and the fact that Rocky Beer should be your catcher.
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: Hate Hinson walked in and said that I'm gonna make
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: this run game better just because you know, good blocking
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: tight ends make everything you know, make that better? Yeah?
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: That is that is that right? There is what we've
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: all hoped and dreamed for is to have freaking blocking.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: Uh now, I'm sorry, Boomer, sooner once two nine, he
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: will throw double digit interceptions for a second season or
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: almost likely. I'll take that. If we say ten, I'll
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: take the I'll take the over and say about eleven.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: But I don't think he's gonna be reckless. It'll probably
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: be in the heat of a blowout and we're just
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: kind of, you know, toying around with things. But I
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be as reckless as he was
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: last year. Well, the l issue game is probably the
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: game he's the most reckless n But.
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: I would just say this with the you have to
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: think you got to think about this way. He had
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: how many this past year?
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: Uh had ten? Eleven? Me?
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: Look, and how how many just dead dropped interceptions do
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: you think he got away with? So I think that
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: he will probably end up with the same numbers. Okay,
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: so he'll probably end up with the same numbers, but
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: I think that they're not gonna come. I mean like
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: he had a bolt. I mean, how was it five
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: in the past the last two games?
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: Yeah, three three against he'll.
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: Double his touchdowns too, which is good.
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's okay because if it says thirty five
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: and eleven at the end of the season, I think
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: we're all going to be pretty excited about it because
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: gonna also throw some running ones in there too. So
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: that's just I do think that we're going to have
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: more offense. I think that the offense is going to
- 1:10:07Speaker 3: be again, you know, incomplete pass and two you know,
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: zero yard runs gets him off the field pretty quickly.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: So I think the offense will be on the field
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: a lot more so. I think that with the increased
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: snaps on offense, and then you probably.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: The smarter choices.
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: Yeah, the the smarter choices will cut down some of
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: that were ended did in as interceptions, but then somebody's
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: going to catch a couple of those. And you can't say,
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: I mean, outside of that LSU game, you can't really
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: say that like there were a bunch of tipped balls
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: or anything like that. There were a couple of balls
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: that bounced up off of dude's hands and got picked
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: off this past year. It just is what it is.
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: But the offense will have more snaps, they will be
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: more effective.
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: I don't think he'll have three interception games like he
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: did last he had two of them, one of his
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: Texas one against LSU. He had five interceptions over the
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: lasts just three seven games. Five over the last seven,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: which isn't bad. Which is under one a game. Like
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: I said, I expect him to throw one on average
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: a game, So I expect probably twelve for a regular season.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: That is. But as long as when he was healthy,
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: he only had he had three hit he threw one.
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: Illinois State won to Temple one, Michigan won. It was
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: the tip pass is Michigan that almost got picked that
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: we end up tackling a guy. Those are gonna happen.
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: But I think it's also going to be because, like
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: you said, not only will we run the ball, well,
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: we'll also have a lot of we'll have a lot
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: of a lot more offensive possessions, but I think we'll
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: also have more receivers that's going to fight for balls. Yeah,
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: I mean, like the back sholder passes that that that
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: one against LSU that got picked, it was kind of
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: like okay, yeah, where he threw it was, but the
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: wires you should have offered that well.
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: And then Jaron Kannick had the I mean he threw
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: it behind him and it and it kind of bounced.
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: And that was the Illinois State game, you know, the
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: first first of the year.
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: And I'm also talking about that past. I think it
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: was Jovannie Gibson is the side he threw it to.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: But he didn't fight for the past, and it was
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: like rent right to the DB's hands. It was like,
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: you're supposed to fight for that. That was kind of
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: the here, I'm gonna throw this up there, you go
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: get it.
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't get that.
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: So there's just a there's a lot and there's a
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: lot of options for this team to get better. And again,
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: we start practice in just a few days and you
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: will start hearing, you know, people's names mentioned to motivate them,
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: but then also to motivate people around them. And so
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: I would venture to say, you know, be have smiles
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: on your face when you hear a guy. Don't worry
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: about if you don't hear a guy's name. I don't
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: think we're gonna hear a lot about David Stone outside
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: of probably early in the season or leadership.
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: I don't know if you hear very much about any
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: of your starters. For the most part, I don't see
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: a reason too, But again we're at that point all right,
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: game is about to start, so this is actually the
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: perfect spot to end things that actually game has already started,
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: So make sure you go check out the women. Thank
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: you all for all pulling up. Hit that like button
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: if you need to the chance subscribe rate review, give
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: us five stars. We'll be back. We'll probably go once
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: a week for now, as we prepare through spring camp,
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: me and Coop may just drop some random videos together
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: talking about the latest updates or whatnot. So I'll probably
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: pull him away from the work and we'll do like
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: a ten minute conversation around something. So yeah, like subscribe,
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: get us back to twenty one. We lost about seven subs.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: I think YouTube has been doing a purge of people,
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: especially those have been getting their accounts blocked and delete it. So, yeah,
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: need to get back to twenty one. So help your
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: people out. We need to get about seven more subs.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: And yeah, we will see you all in the next
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: few days. Be good, peace
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: M
