  Speaker 2: It just it was on. Well do they not want
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: us to do that?

• 1:12
  Speaker 1: all the time, but if the University of South Carolina
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want us to do that, they would change it
• 1:15

• 1:17
  Speaker 2: But they're not called game chickens. Regardless. It's up and

  Speaker 2: hurting from that. By the way, are you still we
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: did what else we threw? We threw quarterback competition, So
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: all that's up. Just go over to Too Much Access
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Bobby Bones on YouTube and check it out. All right,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: let's get it, let's get it. Let's get the tittle
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: tattle his name.
• 1:48
  Speaker 8: Ever, the tittle Tattle.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Bobby.
• 1:56
  Speaker 9: Which AFC division do you think is better overall? The
• 1:58
  Speaker 9: AFC East with the Bills, Patriots, Jets, and Dolphins, or
• 2:02
  Speaker 9: the AFC North with the Steelers, Ravens, Browns, and Bengals.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I guess I would look at the stealing first, which
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: team I think could actually go the farthest, And I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: think I would put the Bills slightly over the Bengals slightly,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: but I would put the Bills over the Bengals really yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I would go if I were, yeah, Bills as the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: one yeah yeah in the AFC East, and then the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Bengals as the one in the AFC North.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Are they are?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: They still saying Joe's coming back start a season should be.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: They're not saying he's not right. Have you guys heard
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: he's not?
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: No?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I haven't either, So then so Bill's over. Bengals might
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the second team in each division. I think all four
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: of those teams in the FC North are going to
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: be pretty good. Like I do think that the Bengals
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: are going to be good. The Steelers have a chance.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: They played really well second half of the season. Kenny
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Pickett's small hands in all small Kenny, yeah, smokingy hants
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: George Pickens last year rookie was very inconsistent, but man,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: real flashes of brilliance, and I think he's that dude
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: for sure. I think the Ravens are going to be
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: good with Lamar Jackson healthy getting paid. Obij I think
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the Browns are going to be deceived good. I mean,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: their quarterback apparently hasn't been getting lot of messages, so
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you know he's staying out of trouble and Deshaun Watson
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: what two thousand and one, maybe his last year he played.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: He was a really good quarterback, and so they have
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a good So that North is solid. Now if we
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: just look at the East, the Dolphins, I feel like
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the Dolphins are a really good team. Obviously. I just
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: wonder if Tua gets hit in the head one time,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: what is he out six weeks? He had three concussions
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: last year.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: If he gets another one, he's got to stop, right, Like,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: those are a lot of concussions to keep going in
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the NFL.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I just think you if you're gonna stop after one
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: more concussion, you should stop before you get that one
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: more concussion, right, So I don't think if he gets
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: one more concussion, he stops. He may be out for
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a while. But I don't think you're retired unless it's
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: a bad one, because if you're like, Okay, one more
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: concussion and I'm retiring, you don't go through all this
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: because eventually you're gonna get another concussion. It's just that's
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the nature of this game. So I agree with you,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: But I also probably wouldn't have walked away either, your dream,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: your whole life. Millions of dollars had to be there.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: You're in Miami. So I think the Dolphins are going
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: to be good. But Waddle and Tyreek Hill they're good.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So the Dolphins are good, The Patriots have a chance
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to be pretty good. And the Jets, I think their
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: ceiling is winning the division. I think their floor is
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: being fourth overall because we just don't know one what
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is gonna do for and to that team
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: and to a that offensive line can have some sort
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: of consistency. I mean, they've had such consistent people even
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: starting much less the ones that start consistently performing well.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: So as the Bills are the number one team, I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: think the AFC North overall is the better division. So
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it would have been hard to overtake the Bills in
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: that division, but they did because the other three teams
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: are better than the other three teams, So I would
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: go AFC North anyway, think about that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that you still have questions about
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the Jets. I mean, I think that they're going to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: be Oh, I think.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: They're gonna be good, but I have so questions their
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: offensive line sucks. Yeah, I know, Aaron Rodgers has never
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: had an offensive line ever in the history of him.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Playing that has been this this I want bad but
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: has been based on data, this incompetent as an offensive line.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: It's just like with Dalvin Cook back there and the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: changes they're making, and it seems like, and again I'm
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: not going to fall for you know, dumb well you
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: know you follow you are falling for it hard knocks.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But when you get an inside look of how a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: team is, you know, psychologically, it seems like they're really
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: got it. They got it together, really like that head
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: coach and the I think it's the defensive coordinator and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: all of them just kind of seem like they've got
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it together. And then the fact that they have Aaron
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Rodgers there, they're like, guys, this is our dude. And
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: just to see how impressed they are by Aaron Rodgers impressed,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: don't block defensive lineman.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I'm rooted for the Jets. I think they're going to
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: be good. But the floor is just utter failure because
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Rogers doesn't have time to throw. I think I think
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the is it the East?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So he says the I think they're so strong, you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: think the Patriots, Well, well they got Zeke now yeah, man, okay,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: oh absolutely, We're not biased at all, we're not bias
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: at all. If Zeke comes from America's team to another
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: America's team, the Patriots, this is going to be a.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Real America's team, the two hated teams. So again the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: AFC North. Any of those four teams could win that division.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Any of those four teams can make the super Bowl.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: The Browns would be the one that I would say
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: is the biggest long shot. But the Browns have the personnel.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And when you go over to the AFC East with
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the Dolphins and Jets and Patriots and Bills, the only
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: team I can really see making the super Bowl there
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: would be the Bills with an outside shot of the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Dolphins or very outside shot of the Jets. If Rogers
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: is good, I can't see the Patriots making it this year.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: New offensive coordinator, even though he isn't are a dog
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: mm hmm, So it's I'm still going with the AFC North.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: He's a what a dog?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: What does that mean?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: He's good?
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Oh? That's what you say?
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: It was hard good?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: He goes hard.
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: All right, go ahead, we all remember the hype of
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: the Broncos last year and their disappointment. Which team do
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: you think will be the Broncos of twenty twenty three.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: So hype and disappointment, that's all we're looking for. So
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: what teams are hyped?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: The Chiefs.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Chiefs are always hyped, but they're hyped or they just
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: talked about appropriately since they would win the Super Bowl.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got the best player on the planet.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Chiefs are highed, Bills are hyped, Eagles are hyped.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You could go through the teams that win. Bengals are high,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the Jets have some hype because of Aaron Rodgers. The
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Giants have some hype because of uh Dabele and Jones
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and getting the one year deal and they performed better
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: last year, and you know, Daniel Jones his second year
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: apparently making huge strides. Oh it's tough, Like who is
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: expected to be good?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I mean you don't want to put the Cowboys on
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: there because I mean they actually but hold on for
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: one So that's just the fans for once, though, the people,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: like the critics. TV is actually saying that the Cowboys
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: may actually be good this year, which is weird.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: But that division is really good too, because I think
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Commanders are going to be pretty good. Yeah, yeah, at
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: least not as terrible as they were. Ye, I'm gonna
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: go with the Jets only because and I believe the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Jets will win some games. They go win ten games.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: But I think the Jets had the biggest chance of
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: one of the teams that people are expecting to win,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: not to win.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Man, I just agree with you.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to be so good. I think
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be good too. I hope they're good. I
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: want them to win. I like Aaron.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Rodgers, but like the Broncos last year, they're in a
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: tough division. That doesn't help it.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: It's like the Chargers, right, everybody's like they look at
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the Chargers. I heard were getting hurt and then who
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: do they have to play all the time? Yeah, the
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: freaking Chiefs. I mean, look at their DIVI that it's
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: a lot to do with it. Mm hmm.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: What about the Broncos though, Like, what about them? Are
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: they going to be better this ya?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: No? I expect nothing from them, kay, really, I mean
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: you can't be worse.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Just watch you know?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: They still look completely incompetent in preseason.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's true.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I did think, Okay, RUSS could come back win nine
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: to ten games. Sean Payton, you know they just don't.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: But I've seen nothing to make me feel differently better
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: than five hundred.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Probably around five hundred. Okay, they'll probably figured out little
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: later in this season, all right.
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: Next up opposite of the Broncos. Last year, the Seahawks
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: stunned everyone. So who do you think will be the
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: Seahawks of twenty twenty three.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: The Steelers didn't make it last year, but they were
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: awfully close, and Tom's never had a losing record as
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: a Steelers coach. The Steelers would be my pick, if
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: that even counts. But I think people will kind of
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: expect the Steelers to be at least as good as
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: they were second after the U last year. Again, they
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: played a tough division, but the Steelers are that. I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: think the Browns have a really good shot of that
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: because again, they have the personnel. If you have a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: really good quarterback, if Deshaun Watson plays as good as
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: he's getting paid to play, then they're gonna be good.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: They got Amari Cooper, they got they got a really
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: good running game. So but then I look also at
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the freaking Saints. Nobody expects the Saints to be good.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: They play in a terrible division, and I think car
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: is a better quarterback than people give him credit for
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: because he played in an organization that sucked, which was
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the Raiders. So Steelers and Saints would be the teams
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that I think could do that. I think Steelers is
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: kind of a compaut answer because I think people expect
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the Steelers woul be good. They almost made it last year.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So then I'm gonna go with the Saints because they
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: did not almost make it and the Saints are terrible.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: That whole division is terrible and a mixture of the two,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: and Michael Thomas he's healthy, yeah, and David Carr. I
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: feel like that the Saints could actually make the playoffs
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: and just win that division. It got Tampa, Yeah, Baker Mayfield,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: a big Baker Mayfall got I think of going defeated.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: But let's say let's say they don't Tampa Carolina. Carolina's
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: not gonna be any good, not this year. No, no, no,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: but a rookie quarterback. So New Orleans? Who am I
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: forgetting the division? Atlanta? The Falcons? The Falcons. The Falcons
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: could be okay, I mean, do you believe it? Desn't Ridder,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I believe in Bijon I mean, yes,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: but I don't think they can carry the whole team. I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: don't think he can, so I'm gonna go I'm gonna
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: go with Saints my answer. Okay, next up, last one here.
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: If you're playing in the NFL right now, which head
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: coach would you like to play for most and which
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: head coach would you like to play for least most?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Probably Andy Reid because I know if I'm a quarter
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: or Shanahan. I know if I'm a quarterback or a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: running back, wide receiver, skill posion player, I'm about to
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: be a All Pro if I start Andy Reid just schemes.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Andy Reid's awesome and he seems pretty chill. So I'll
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: probably go Andy Reid the one I want to play
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: for the least. I'm not gonna say Belichick because I
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: understand why Belichick is way Belichick is any championships, I'm
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: gonna go with. But he's also not the head coach anymore.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Maybe like Arthur Smith.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I like Arthur Smith. Orm's football guy. But so okay,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: so let's go to New England Offensive cord end of
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: this year again?
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Is Bill O'Brien right?
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: So Bill o brian was with Sabin Bill O'Brien was
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: with the Houston Texans. He was even like the GM
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: for a while of the tech right, wasn't he like
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: that GM slash coach.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Very Belichick of him?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: So I think I would I would like being in
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: that offense. I'm trying to talk to myself out of
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: picking Belichick. What about the Raiders? Okay, Josh, just me, Dane.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I don't want to play for him.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: He seems like a total douche. And when I hear
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: players talk about playing for him back in the day,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: they hate him.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, except for Brady.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But Brady was to no, but Brady was told him
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: what to do. That's the difference. Yeah, No one told
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Brad any of what to do, right.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I like to play with I like to work people too,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: let me walk all over which I had people on
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: the show like that, but I don't.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: So that's funny. I would have gone with Belichick. I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: would have wanted to play with for Belichick, because what
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: one is so good?
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: You want?
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: No?
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I said, I no, no, no, I say you don't.
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: No, no, no.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I was gonna pick Belichick as they don't. But then
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I think I would be okay, with it,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and then I tried to convince myself because obviously I
• 13:22

  Speaker 2: they got some offensive line questions like the Jets, but

  Speaker 2: I feel like they can actually fix their offensive line.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And we saw their weight room. That's right. There was
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: nobody lifting there.
• 16:21

• 17:20
  Speaker 8: Was like, that's hilarious. I remember that, But I still
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: didn't have.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: The guts to wear it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because people at church would get mad, I thought.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: But I still thought it was so cool, So I'd
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: go to the mall. We had one store of that hats.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: All the athletic cats. I had all the nickname team hats,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: so it was always like the funny word you could
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: find within the team.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so if it.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Was like Albuquerque, it'd be like Kirk the Kirk or
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the Cocks or et cetera. So anyway, we're going here
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: and I don't.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Know, we got a rental cart.
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: You know how much ront caoll.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Costs for one day?
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Probably two hundred bucks.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Well, so I thought according to the Internet it was
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: like fifty bucks something like that.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's like the smallest, smallest part you can.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Get, Okay, So I go and we just needed suv

• 18:08
  Speaker 2: here for three four hours and we're gonna leaven go
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: back home. So I thought a rental car, that's even
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a whole day. It's I call it a nine hundred
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: number back in the day, like talk to your favorite
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: baseball player, And it was a dollar ninety nine the
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: first minute and ninety nine cent east additional. So I
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: would just hang out before the first minute was over,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: but I would only get charged the one ninety nine
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: every time.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: So smart when was that?
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: Well, I thought I would get note.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: What do you mean he doesn't know about nine hundred numbers.
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: No, that's a whole different podcast.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Kevin.

• 18:33
  Speaker 2: even get a full day charge for an SUV for
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: us five. But because it's me, Eddie, Kevin, Mike de
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: and Red, three hundred and forty bucks.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: What that is crazy?
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because we're in Columbia and
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: they have to bring us one from somewhere else, but
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: it was three hundred and forty dollars for this suv.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Oh my, do you know how mad I would be
• 18:56

  Speaker 1: But you would know, like I knew that I had
• 19:00

• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to pay for it. The company's not paying for it.

• 19:52
  Speaker 1: they go like, I just literally said the word.
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: I didn't say anything about I like it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: So we're going to shoot the show, and part of
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the show is us doing something athletic football, running, jumping.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: It's to highlight their abilities and our lack of. So
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I text Eddie last night at ten o'clock PM. Here
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: we go, and I say, hey, man.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Don't forget to bring shorts and some shoes because we're
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: going to be running on the field.
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: I text them at ten pm. Now between ten pm.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I went to bed at nine thirty.
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: Okay, but you woke up and you had to go
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: to work.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: And that's weird because I never looked at your phone.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I look at my phone, and there's usually a notification
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: that says like, miss you look at your text now,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I don't open my phone up if I don't need
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: to know, like it'll say he mixed text. This is
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: like somebody says I didn't get that text. That just
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I didn't get it till I got to work, which
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: is already too late.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable that I text Eddie at night and say, hey,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: even if you're asleep, you'll see this in the morning.
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: Bring your clothes, Mike your thoughts. Yeah, you could have
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: looked at his phone. Well, no correction, we're all flying
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: out of town. Yeah, everything was kind of like in
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: motion happening.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: You should have checked the phone, and it was like
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: all quick too write where Like we decided quickly, let's go.
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: We're going to South Carolina. We gotta get back at night.
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: Guy coach Beamber lined up.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: Boom boom boom.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: Eddie shows up on a tuxedo.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Well, I have a solution. If there's a gift shop,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I can just buy shorts there.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: You could buy shorts there. Also, do we feel like
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: they're gonna put us in their own clothes.
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: Maybe we do have a bit running that we're gonna
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: steal somethings.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: So maybe the thing that Eddie steals is a pair
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: of shorts.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: That's not a bad idea.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I did think about they have they won a national championship. No,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: but you have to find shorts to steal that have
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: won your size. And then two, you don't want to
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: steal it from the store, you'll go to jail. Yeah,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and you're saying that probably players are just not my size.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying you don't need to steal a player
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: at college kid shorts.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: It's kind of weird.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: They'll never know, but you're right. They get showered with stuff. Man,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: what sort of But when we went to UCF, they
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: gave us clothes.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but you can't say like, oh, the thanks for
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: the hat, that's really cool.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Can I have some shorts.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: We did put the request in for some clothes, so
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you may be in luck there would go yeah, yeah,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: And it was a gentle request because we don't want
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to be like we're coming give us all your clothes.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: But we said, hey, other schools have wanted us to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: wear their gear, so if you have, someone'll wear it.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: That's genius, meaning we'd love to have free stuff. Akay,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: we've never gotten too good for free stuff. Do you
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: think we'll ever be able to go full pads in
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: one of these Like, yeah, if we want to, I mean,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: we have to really push for it, and we got
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to have a coach that we have a relationship with.
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: What drill would you run though, Oklahoma? Mean against Baba? No,
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: we would die. I don't want to hit anything you
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: against me? I think I'm running back your linebacker. Well,
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: first of all, I kill you, That's.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: What I'm saying. See, that's why we need to do this.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: First of all, even if I killed you, I'd be hurt. Well,
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: we like the best case scenario is I wipe you
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: out the floor, but I'm still hurt.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Right, we're both going to hurt ourselves.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I think like hitting a sled, we can put pads
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: on a hit a sled like just pushing it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: That's boring.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: No, okay, sorry, you didn't play football a high level
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: like myself.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: You mean the one that you like hit like the
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: dummy hit.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: Sled on a sled.
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: Okay, the same sled that we would push would also hit.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they have different things now, yes, but you can
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: do back mountain.
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: They probably there was the sled for different We had
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: single sleds.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: We had sleds, and sometimes you would just come off
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the ball, fire off the ball, hit, hit back down
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: right wen, yeah.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: And then you can do the hit and roll and
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: then hit.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: All five hit Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: What's the one where you like the tunnel you run
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: through with a bunch of like foamy spikes. What that's
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: called a phone party? And they used to have that
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: phone party at college. They put phone on the gun
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: on the dance floor right now. No, that's not what
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about. It
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: it's like a it's like a ton of it's like
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: they have a it looks like a wash.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: It looks like a car wash.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: And it's supposed to like poke you where the ball
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: is so you fumble it. Oh, that is a sex machine.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: That is a fantasy of yours.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: You know what. I was confused? You're right, it is.
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: That is dirty?
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, wrong place poking.

• 24:28
  Speaker 2: And I said, damn, you asked dumb questions. I mean
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: people would consider those dumb questions. Well, I guess my
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: thought was for you. I didn't think they were dumb.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I thought they were just normal questions for you.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Well they are because I always come from a parent
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: perspective because I have kids in sports, so I always
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: want to bring it. I have legit questions about stuff
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, but it's not always like that. But

  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say cock. I don't even want
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: to say cock. I feel a by the time the birds.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: You said it quite a bit in the least ten
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: seconds though, for a guy being uncomfortable saying it.
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I had to call it a chicken. I don't
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: know if they have a chicken?
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: Help me they do?
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: And is there a difference between a chicken and a cock?
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: I think a rooster.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I can't do that a rooster. A rooster is a cock.
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: A chicken is not a cock. A rooster is a
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: game cock, I believe.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, so do they have a rooster is a question.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Well, we're about to find out, and we're not even
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: putting the interview after this. This was just us kind
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: of describing what we're doing here. I don't know if
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: we're gonna put the interview after this or not.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: But bones do you do research?
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Like how much research do you do going into these things?
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: It's an interesting question. Thank you, Thanks for asking, no problem.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: It seems like a come from a parent. See I
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: thought I'm saying, man.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean I do like macro notes, read
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: all the stuff about the Pete Like you know, he
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: goes to Choklahoma for a while. He was on the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: offensive staff there, so I know all about Beamer. I
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: know about this kid that we're talking to. This is
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: running back. Who is I think.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: He's six to one, like one n five now, but
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: he's played quarterback, receiver and running back.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: So this his first year as a running back. Huh,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: I believe.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: So, Kevin, Yeah, full time running back. Yeah, that's crazy.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: So when you ask, I just I guess I wasn't
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: for research. It's just so I could know about them, yeah,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: and know who I'm talking to.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: And then Kevin will do some other notes and he'll
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: send those and I'll read over those and then we'll
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: kind of be ready to go.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, i'd like to look at those notes. There you go,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: because I'm out. I don't do research.
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but no, no, no, you don't show our research.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: If they had a cock, chicken, that your role should
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: be not doing research and just showing up and having fun.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, I could do that.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, easy, Okay, I think that's it. Everybody good. Yeah, man,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: we're going hold on red do that thing where you yell.
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: All right from South Carolina.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you guys, goodbye, coach. First, thanks for having us today.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: We really appreciate it absolutely.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: My first question, I'm gonna let Eddie ask, because he's
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: been bothering us about this for like two hours, ask it, do.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: You guys, and don't get offended, coach, because I don't
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: know the real terminology, But do you guys have a
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: chicken mascot? Like he means a little hand a real cock.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: I have trouble saying the word cock. That's why I
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: keep calling a chicken.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: But if we're gonna cock it, we'll play.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: We'll say cock.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: We do, sir, big spur. I'll have to show you
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: before you leave.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: The same one. It's the literal. Yeah, because we have
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: a bore L s U as a tiger. There's a
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: there's one.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Does a family raise it like BiVO? I know the
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: people that have Bibo.
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's one family that has it. They bring him
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: to all the games. He'll be on the sidelines. I've
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: got a video on my phone. He's like, he'll he'll
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: come in this facility every once in a while. Uh
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: so I've got a video on my phone. I've got
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: a picture on my phone and me's sitting right there
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: on that couch holding it. And then my first year here,
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: we had he was just hanging out in the building
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: one day. You could just you know, hear him do
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: his cocka doodle do or whatever it is.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: As well, how do they pick the mascot?
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: That is a good question.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: That is like and is it like every five, six seven?
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Do it?
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Do we know? Because the Georgia bulldog, that's whole ceremony, Bevo, Yeah,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: there's a whole ceremony.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: I don't know the timeframe. I should uh, probably a
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: better question for someone else, But we've had the same one,
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: I guess since I've been here, So it's.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Not like Mary Kate Nashley Olson. One day there's one
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: of them playing on full house and then we don't
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: even know when the other ones that it's one. It
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: literally is one.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: They even told me it's a different one. It's one.
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: It's at every game.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Uh, Syle, how big is the coach?
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: I mean that's literally that picture right up.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: There on the ball, that's a good sized chicken.
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: Is me me holding it. That's after the Bowl game
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: a couple of years ago.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: So it's uh, but that's a drawing, coach, you can't
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: point it a drawing and go that's to scale and literal.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: And was like, this is what set up? He points it,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: He points it like a fingerpaint. That's a nice it's
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a nice art. But he's like, look that's proof.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: Real picture.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, Oh that's a that's a big bird. That's a
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: big bird of that.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: That drawing is very much to scale.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: But you pointed to the drawing of all things where
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: you were like, look at this piece of art that
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: someone interpreted.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: That's the size. Okay, let's talk about the program. I
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: was watching you at SEC Media Days. I think I
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: watched almost every.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Coach at SEC Media Days. I think you guys arenna
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: win the East.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I've said that I feel like the voters were not
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: as respectful of South Carolina as they should have been
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: your thoughts.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: I would not disagree. You know, I know it's coach
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: speak and it's but it's true.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: Though.
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: We don't pay a whole lot of attention to what
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: people are saying, whether it's good bad. Just worry about
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: ourselves and what we can control and try and get better.
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: But I'll be the first admit it's a little, you know, surprising.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: We had two top ten wins to finish the season.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: We're returning our starting quarterback and Spencer Rattler. Where was
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: turning an All Conference receiver in Juice Wells or returning
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: a freshman All American two freshman All Americans? And the
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: secondary I got some really good players coming back, our punter,
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: our kicker, and you know, to not be ranked was
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: surely a little surprising. I won't lie, But that's okay.
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: You know, we're worried about what the what the rankings
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: are at the end of the season, that's all we're
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: worried about, and let's trying to be the very best
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: team we can be. But I really like this group.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I'll say that, have you ever not liked a group?
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Though you don't have to say which group, but you
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: know we hear that most I really love this group player,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: But has there ever been one of your like, I
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: don't like this group.
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: No.
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: It's kind of like on signing day when you always
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: hear coaches be like, you know, it's a heck of
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: a signing class. We just no coaches ever come in
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: and said and it's a bad signing class. Nobody's ever
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: done that. I think there's different. I think I've always
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: liked the groups. I think certain groups are maybe other
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: teams I've been a part of selfishness. Maybe isn't the word,
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: but you realize that you're maybe not as close and
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: as together as you would like to be in a
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: lot of ways for different reasons. But this is a
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: group that when I say I like them, I'm going
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: all the way back to January when we started off
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: season workouts, when our players came back and for winter
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: conditioning in January. Since January, all up until now, it's
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: they've been the same group to steady, hard working, just
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: kind of flying to the radar, and you know, worry
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: about ourselves and keep trying to get better.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Is there a personality with each year each class? Does
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: it always change year to year and what's the personality
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: of the team this year.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: I think it always changes year to year, There's no
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: question about it. You know, the twenty twenty one group
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: was our first season here. That group was different than
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: twenty twenty two, and twenty twenty three is different than
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: twenty twenty two. You know, this year's team, it's kind
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: of a unique mix of returning core guys like Spencer
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: Rattler and the carry on Joiner that have played a
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: lot of football for us. But then it's a huge
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: mix of just true freshmen that just got here that
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: are going to have to play big roles for us.
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: So it's kind of that mix of older guy that
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: there's a new found enthusiasm in a lot of ways,
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: I think because of the new freshman and the youth
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: that we do have here on the team.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Talk about DK for a second, where he's a COVID
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: senior and he's played every position. Yeah, I mean, he's
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: gonna play running back this year predominantless I'm wrong, but
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: he's played wide receiver, he's played quarterback. Like with a
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: guy that knows that much. Is he also like the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: fourth string quarterback as well as the running back.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: He could do it all. There's no question about it.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: I mean, what a great person first and foremost great
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: football player receiver, like you said, running back, quarterback. He
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: could do it all. Was the MVP of the Bowl
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: Game two years ago as a quarterback, played receiver all
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: last year. He's been a really good special teams player
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: for us. He's one hundred percent of running back right now.
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: But absolutely if we got in a situation where we
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: needed him to play quarterback, he knows what to do
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: and could go in there and do it.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Dang, I wish I could do any of that.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: I know me too.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not an athlete anymore.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: Coach.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: We're both store by the way today because we worked out.
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: Well. If you're sore after one work there too, you're
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: not doing it a week.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: It was two, coach, and we came back. Okay, all right, Coach,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: you were talking about country music a little bit before
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the interview, and you know, with artists, people are just like, oh,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: they just you know, they record music and they sing
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: on stage, but there's way more that they do. They
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: do beating greats they do have to do radio interviews
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. What's something a head coach has
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: to do that most people.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Don't even think about.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Great question like have you cleaned the bathrooms or something like.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: Part of the deal, you know, great question. There's so
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: much because, like I always tell the story, I got
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: hired here in December twenty twenty and I literally felt
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: like it was the end of Fbruary twenty twenty one,
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: like two months later before I did anything football related,
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: just because there's so much, particularly when you when you're
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: in the SEC and when you're a college coach, of fundraising,
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: raising money, whether it be for your game, cup club,
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: or whether it be NIL or obviously recruiting the speaking
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: engagements that you know, people ask you to do across
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: the States. So I love that part of it, But
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: there is just so much. I don't know one thing.
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's to me, there's a bunch that stand
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: out that even growing up the son of a coach,
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: until I sat in behind that desk and in that chair,
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: I don't even know if I realize it's the magnitude
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: of all the things you do outside of outside of coaching.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: When I was briefly considering this two years ago running
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: for the governor of Arkansas is I some people approaching
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: me and I was like, what do you do when
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: you run instead of just go shake hands meet people?
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: They were like, no, you have to be on the
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: phone nest for money all the time.
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: Like that's what you do.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: People see you on TV or you do, but it's
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: mostly six hours a day on the phone going I
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: need money, and I feel like with coaches these days,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: it's not direct asking, but I would assume that because
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: of an IL, because of booster, because of money you
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: need to build facilities, that it's a constant we'll call
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: it political game where you need money to keep this
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: thing going and to keep it thriving. Would it be accurate?
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: Absolutely? Absolutely. You know, used to you did your local
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: like your booster club events in the springtime, and I
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: would do anywhere from or still do anywhere from six
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: to eleven of those a year where you're going out
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: and you're speaking to the Gamecock club about the program,
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: trying to raise money for your booster club on campus,
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: but now you're also doing fundraising events for in IL
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: to raise money for name, image and likeness. So during
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: the springtime, you know, I think I spoke to four
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: different events in the springtime at night, just going out
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: and visiting with people as well. So certainly it's about
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: development relationships. And we got some amazing supporters of Gamecock
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: Athletics for sure that you know, are eager to support
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: this program. But yeah, that's a that's a big part
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: of it, and and you know, like the direction that
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: we're going. But yes, there's a lot of parts, probably
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: to go back to your question, fundraising, you know, having
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: to do a lot of that as well, and the
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: different events, but you know, it is what it is,
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: and I enjoy that part of it too.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Do you have just call any your really rich friends
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and go, I need money?
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: I mean, I think you're developing relationships all the time,
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: and and uh.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: That's yeah. I get those calls, by the way, and
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not really rich. I'm pretty rich, but I'm not
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: really rich now. But they'll call me like, hey, X
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: y Z, can you help out? Yeah, I don't know
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: who they are, just a mystery, but that happens.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: It does. Yeah, there's no question about it. And fortunately
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: a lot of those people that I'm making those phone
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: calls too are guys or you know, men and women
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: that understand the lay of the land and college athletics nowadays,
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: and they want to see South Carolina Athletics be successful,
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: and they realize that that's a part of it as well,
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: whether it be maintaining we're in a beautiful facility right now,
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: whether it be main the money to continue to move
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: forward and have amazing facilities like this, or whether it
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: be in IL or whatever it might be. Certainly, you
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: know there's some great supporters of Gamecock Athletics, and I've
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: got a lot of people that are willing to help,
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: and certainly you know I've made those phone calls and
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: will continue to as well.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: It's got to help that you're not old, that you
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: kind of are closer to the players, closer to their age,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: closer to understanding what And it's probably I would assume
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: why you and even me, I like in IL. I
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: think it definitely adds a difficult wrinkle because it adds
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: more competition in a lot of places. But I like in.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: IOL because I believe that if I'm in class and
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: there's an influencer who's really good at doing yoga and
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: she can make ten thousand bucks a post, the football
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: player gets penalized the basketball player and they can't do
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: it at all. So I'm a big advocate of in IL.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: But I think that's because I understand how to and
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: why there's a need to make money with social media
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: with ways that maybe weren't able to be done twenty
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: five thirty years ago.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Do you feel the age gap not as wide with
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: you and the players as I don't know even some
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: of your older coaches. Well you have to kind of
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: talk to them about what's happening.
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so. I agree with you. There's so
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: much good that has come from ANIL. You hear about
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: all the horror stories and things like that, but you know,
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: we got some guys on our team that are doing
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: amazing things with it, being able to capitalize on their name,
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: image and likeness. You mentioned to carry on Joinner, to
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: carry on Joiners one of them. And you know, the
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: biggest thing for us as we talk about the team,
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: the team, the team here always and that's the most
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: important thing. But certainly I'm happy for these guys when
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: talking about raising money, like I want to do that,
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: and I told our team this and it's the truth,
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: Like I want to go be able to raise money
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: and bring in money to help you. From an nil standpoint,
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: if you deserve it and you've earned it, I'll jump
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: on the table and raise money with the best of
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: them to be able to take care of our guys.
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: But certainly we're all learning. Whether it's me a younger coach,
• 38:54
  Speaker 7: or an older coach or somebody younger than me, we're
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: all learning and going through this thing first time, but
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: for the first time, but absolutely excited for our players
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: and love being able to help them in any way
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: that I can.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: If I was a coach, I'd be funding my money
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: to do my own money do accounts.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: I would I would for sure build a shell account.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Once I built a shell account, what well I bid
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: this whole campaign against myself. Yes, I just started in Nashville.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: We just started the national show and I had to
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: create and I.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Had to look it up on the internet. I built
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: a shell company to fake where the money was coming from,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: so I could buy these billboards to trash myself so
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: people wouldn't know it was me. So I had to
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: figure out how to take people away from because they
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: looked it up. My company chased it, they hired a
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: private investigatory. Couldn't figure out who was spending the money
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: to trash me. Little do they know it was me
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: until it came out, you know, four years later in
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the Washington Post. But I think I would do that
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: as a coach. I would. So my question, are you
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: doing that.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Between us?
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Coach?
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: Wait?
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Wait, this is going on?
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: They thing is I hardly? I have no If I do,
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: I don't know about it. Like I have no idea
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: where my money goes. It all goes to my wife,
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: and she's in charge of everything financially, So ask her.
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: But I don't believe.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: So I didn't think you did. I just wanted to
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: lay it out to be done.
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: I've got to ask her, like can I borrow twenty dollars?
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: You know, because she's in charge of the money in
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: the house and has all the cash.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Having kids, is that a different pressure because if you
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: don't perform well, or you perform wonderfully like your kids
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: feel both Yeah, both ways. That would be tough as
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: a dad.
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: It is. You know, there's a lot of highs and lows.
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: We lose a game, we as coaches come right back
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: in this facility the next week and it's right back
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: to work, and we're kind of in this bunker mentality
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: and oblivious to the outside world because it's right back
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: to work. Whereas we lose a game that Monday morning,
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: they're back in school. And as they get older. My
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: oldest is a freshman in high school now my youngest
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: is in fifth grade. Fourth grade. You know, they're hearing
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: stuff when they go back to school and things like that.
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: So there's a lot of highs and lows. Like I
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: tell them, one, it was a good experience for me
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: because I grew up the son of a coach, so
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: I saw it firsthand. Like I tell my kids, you know,
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: it's one this is what I do, but it's not
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: who I am. So there's a lot of great things
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: that they get to experience because of my job. But
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: also the flip side of that for them is there
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: some negatives that you go through, and frankly they get it,
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: like we don't win football games, I get fired here
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: and we have to move and they know that's part
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: of the reality. But I'm also fortunate that I'm a
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: part of that. I'm in a job where I can
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: include my family and the coaches families and a lot
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: of the things that we do, whether it be coming
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: to practice, being in the locker room after games, things
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: like that. But it's certainly a challenge for my wife
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: and I now that we have now that we have
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: three children, but especially as these three children get older.
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: And it's different when you're the you know, tight ends
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: coach at Oklahoma where I was before. It's a difference
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: between that and now you're the head football coach in
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: the SEC and all responsibility is on my shoulders.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Does Darius give you money?
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: Darius is very supporting FOOTBA program. Darius is very so much.
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: I don't know specifics. You have to all right, you'd
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: have to ask Darius. We have a we have a
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: recording studio.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Coach's wife.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: How much money you get?
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: It's a good question.
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: Darius is very supportive once to do whatever he can
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: to help the game. Cocks we uh. I played golf
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: of Darius three weeks ago and we had a lot
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: of great conversations about the athletic department and how he
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: can help and fundraising and n I L and whatever
• 42:25
  Speaker 7: it might be. He cheat, I know he didn't.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: He didn't do a foot wedge coach.
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: I didn't see it.
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: No, we were looking.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: And you probably wouldn't have said anthing anyway, because I
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: was Darius, I would.
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: Have looked him out. We had a great time, Me, Darius, Darius'
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: son Jack, We had an awesome time. It's really good. Yeah,
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: there was some pretty good golfers, not talking about me,
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: there's some pretty good golfers in that group, and we
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: had a we had a really fun time out there.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite NFL team?
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: Not really growing up when I was in Virginia. Uh, well,
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: first of all, backing up, I grew up in Murray, Kentucky.
• 42:56
  Speaker 7: My dad was the head coach at Murray State out
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: there until nineteen eighty six. So that back then, that's
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: when the old Saint Louis Cardinals football team was alive
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: and well, so we used to go to old Bush
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: Stadium Bush Stadium in Saint Louis and go to Cardinals
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: football and baseball games. Then we moved to Virginia. This
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: was before the Carolina Panthers and the Redskins were you know,
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: that's Redskins country up there. Commanders now, so kind of
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: followed them just because I was close. But no, I'm
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: at the point now where I really just kind of
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: follow players that i've coached or been around and coaches
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: that I know and things like that.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Are you too inside to actually romanticize it anymore? Because
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: that's how I feel about music, Like I can't really
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: it's hard for me to be like, I love this
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: artist because I just kind of see what I can
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: like their art.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't really look at them as this
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: big prominent figure of culture. Yeah, they're just like an
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: idiot who's good at music, just like I'm an idiot
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: who just kind of funny.
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Do you think you're so inside and that's hard for
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you to separate?
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: Yes and no. I think certain when it comes to
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: like teams and things like that, because you do. Will
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: be my twenty fourth year in coaching coming up. So
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: you've met enough people and you've developed enough relationships with
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: people where you've got, you know, connections that all these
• 44:08
  Speaker 7: different teams, players, coaches, whatever it might be. So it
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: makes it a little bit different. But you know, certainly
• 44:15
  Speaker 7: there's those players and coaches that are still you know,
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: oh my gosh, that's so and so and things like
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: that that even now as a head coach, I still
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: feel that way about, you know, certain people, the old.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: School guys are awesome.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Like to me, that's who I got out the Southwest
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Fly once and sat between Barry Switzer. And it doesn't
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: matter Barry Sweitzer, I said, next to Barry Switzer.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: The other guy doesn't matter.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's something on mine right now. But like to
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I was geeking out. That's Barry Switzer. He's from Arkansas.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: He coached they Oklahoma thing whatever. But I have a
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: whole family's from Oklahoma, so yeah, screw them, but the Cowboys.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: But it was Barry Switzer.
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: And it's even those artists that I listened to as
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: a kid, they're still super cool to me. It's all
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the contemporaries.
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Then I'm just like, you're just a dude.
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're just a dude like me. No, there's old school.
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: You see those guys come around. The old school guys
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: like Mike Singletary was in my office like a year
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: and a half ago, and it's I'm sitting there, he's
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: still big. Just oh my god, I'm scared to death.
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: He's sitting there staring at me like he's just staring
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: right through my soul.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Like the old videos coming through the Bear's helmet.
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: Felt like he's literally we're having a conversation. He's got
• 45:15
  Speaker 7: those same eyes a little bit. I'm like, oh my god,
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: is a Mike Singletary. Absolutely, And I know what you
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: mean about Barry Switzer. Like I went to Oklahoma as
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: an assistant coach in twenty seventeen or so, it's gonna
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: be twenty eighteen was my first year at Oklahoma, and
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: like I grew up like Barry Switzer and then you
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: go to Oklahoma and I'll never forget like seeing him
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: a restaurant and going up into him and introducing myself
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: and I was like, coach Switzer, and I'm like, God,
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: this is Barry switzerm coach switzerm new tight ends coach
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: here at Oklahoma, Shane Biemer, it's an order to meet.
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: She's like, nice to beat you, Steve, And you know what,
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: I didn't correct him. I'm like, what Barry Switzer wants
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: to call me?
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: You call whatever, Steve Bieber coach.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: I mean no doubt that during.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: A game, the stress levels are so high.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: How do you do you compress when you're when you
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: get home?
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: Good question? Family. You know, my family keeps me honest,
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: for sure, and they keep me humble without a doubt
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: so for me, you know, whether after a game usually
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: you know, the games we play so many night games,
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: game INDs, and go in there and do the postgame
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: press conference with the media, do postgame radio with our
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: local radio network. Then I tape our you know, weekly
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: coaches television show. So it's a few hours after a
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: game before I get home. So if it's if it's
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: a night game, usually I get home and everybody's already.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: Gone to bed, watch TV shows or anything.
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: When I get home, I'll watch like highlights of games.
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: When I get home, it's kind of catching up on
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: the day. Off season, like during the season, I really
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: won't do much other than just football and recruit out
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: of season, you know, I'll read a lot, try and
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: get in the shows if I can, you know, here
• 46:53
  Speaker 7: and there in the off season, enjoy just you know,
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: being with the family, playing golf whatnot. So I try.
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: I feel like I do a pretty good job of
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: trying to decompress when I have time to.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: All, Right, final five questions. Talk about your offensive line.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: When really reading in depth about the team this year,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: one of the questions that's most asked is house the
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: defensive line can to perform this year.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts.
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: I'm really excited about our offensive line. Now. We lost
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: some serious contributors, guys that are that were starters last season,
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: so we got to replace three starters on the offensive line.
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: But the returning guys have been really good. We brought
• 47:33
  Speaker 7: in a transfer from Yale, Nick guard Julo, It's gonna
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: really help us. We brought in Jackson Hughes, a transfer
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: from Charlotte, who I think is going to help us.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Tax guy it I'm not crazy, j x so.
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: But the thing that I'm really excited about is the
• 47:51
  Speaker 7: freshman that we brought in. It's hard to play on
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage as a true freshman, but because
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: of our depth, our guys are going to have to.
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: But I'm really really excited about the freshman class and
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: they continue to continue to come along. So they're practicing
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: with a great edge about themselves right now, great mentality
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: that they're practicing with. So I'm really excited about the
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: offensive line.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Coach, I have a nine year old playing football right now,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: it's his first year, and I told them how important
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: it was about the first impression that a coach has
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: on you. So first day, second day, play hard, that
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: first impression is important.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: Did you ever have.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: A first impression that it's like, it's not so good,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: but they developed into such a good player that you're like,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: you know what, that didn't even matter.
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I think you have that all the time, honestly,
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: and I think a lot of times you have to
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: just I don't want to say chalk it up, but
• 48:38
  Speaker 7: you realize you're getting eighteen year old young men out
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: of high school and a lot of them, all of
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: them are away from home for the very first time.
• 48:49
  Speaker 7: Maybe it's the first time they've ever been in a
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: different environment than where they grew up for seventeen years
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: eighteen years, and it takes time, you know, So that's
• 48:58
  Speaker 7: probably the biggest thing. There's certainly some freshmen and anywhere
• 49:01
  Speaker 7: that I've been, whether it be Oklahoma, the origins of
• 49:03
  Speaker 7: Virginia Tech here, or maybe a freshman comes in and
• 49:06
  Speaker 7: initially first impression, whether it be that moment or the
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: first month on campus where you say to yourself, man,
• 49:11
  Speaker 7: it's gonna be really really hard for this guy to
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: ever become a player. And then he matures, he grows,
• 49:16
  Speaker 7: he becomes more and more accountable on and off the field,
• 49:18
  Speaker 7: and he ends up becoming a really good player. So yeah,
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: I think that happens probably more oft than you think the.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: Nature of the beast and coaching as you move around,
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: and you've mentioned a few of the spots you've been
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: were Mississippi State for a while. So if I give
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: you one of the programs you've been to, just in
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: a word, because all the cultures are different, even the
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: towns are different. Just give me a word to describe Norman,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma flat.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Just generally the land. We go right to the land.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: We're doing like topography, got it? Got it? I like it.
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: It is like a three twelve longitude.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: No, I think you're okay, let me do this. The
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: University of Oklahoma.
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: Great people, this tradition, that's what I love about it.
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: I mean, you you go there. When I got there,
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: there were I want to say, six Heisman Trophy statues
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: at the time, and I think forty seven conference championships.
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: So you drive into work every day, you drive past
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: these Heisman Trophy statues. You go in the indoor facility
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: and there's orange Bowl banners and conference championship banners, and
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: it's like, oh my god, just the tradition at this place.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Miss cow Bell.
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: Cal Bell. When I think of Startville, Missippi State, one
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: is my first full time job where I was actually
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: getting paid. And two it's where I met my wife,
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: you know, so for me starting there, she's from Startville,
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: born and raised, so I go to Startville and that's
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: where we met. She was working in media relations at
• 50:41
  Speaker 7: the time. And first time I ever saw was a
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: home game. I was a coach for Mimisoppy State. I
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: was in the press box and she was working in
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: the press box for media relations, and like the you
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: don't want to be like one of those sound cheesy,
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: like love it first sight moments, but I still remember
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: it vividly. The elevator doors opened and I got walked
• 50:56
  Speaker 7: off the elevator and there she was, and it was
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: just one of those what'd you do? Kind of looked
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: at her and went to work because we had a game,
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: but in between series, I was making sure I was
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: going out to meet a relationship, get something that trans
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: used the bathroom, grab a popcorn whatever, like, also right back,
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: just so I could see her throughout the game.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: All right, last two questions, coach, what's your favorite football movie?
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: Favorite football movie? Well, the program's a classes oh, that's
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: so good. The program was filmed right there in Williams
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: Price Stadium. Uh, so that's that One's a great one.
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: And I would probably say I'd probably say remember the Titans. Yeah,
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: you know, I love sports movies. I was just talking
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: with one of the players this morning. They're like, what's
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: your favorite sports movie ever? And I said Hoosiers And
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: they had never seen Hoosiers and it's like, come on, man.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: But also you picked a basketball movie, but like picking
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: a Korean film, Like, what's your favorite movie? Well, I'm
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: glad you asked. That's a North Korean special you wouldn't
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: expect from still a sports movie though, Yeah, and that's
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: a human movie that North Korean coach in the program though,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Omar apps, they do that full fumble thing where he
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: takes the ball to class.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Did have you ever done that with your students?
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: No, but I've heard of people doing it as well.
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: But we certainly we talk about it all the time. Uh,
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: in practice. Outside of practice, we have pictures of in
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: our meeting rooms of you know what, what it's supposed
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: to look like. I coached at another school previously where
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: they didn't do that. But if a guy ever fumbled
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: or had like carried the ball poorly. The next day
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: there would be the most like terrible pictures that you
• 52:31
  Speaker 7: could find on the person. Like somebody would go and
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: find like something from Facebook or Instagram from like seven
• 52:37
  Speaker 7: years ago, and they would just like plaster the pictures
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: of that player all over the football building.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: You know, was cyberb We like that. That's what school.
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: It wasn't here, And I'm glad we're.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Our last question coach, because I don't know if I
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: feel as good about this program as I did before
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: I got here. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Okay, final question.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: We walked into the film room as I going to go,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: and you had a bunch of coaches and you were
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: watching practice, and I saw how excited everybody got from
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: one play at practice. Yeah, I mean it was literally
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: when you kept rewinding it and you're like, look at this,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: this is paying off. It's one play of practice. But
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: I think, to me, that's how important a detail is.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: No question from like, can you explain to me what's
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: happening in that room that we walked from right now
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: and then what will happen the rest of the day
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: in there?
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 53:21
  Speaker 7: No, quesse our great question. So we practice this morning
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: and then the coaches, players get a little bit of
• 53:27
  Speaker 7: a break, and then the coaches, they immediately go into
• 53:30
  Speaker 7: the meeting room and we as coaches, we'll watch offense, defense,
• 53:34
  Speaker 7: and special teams every play from practice.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you watch it again, so you watch it out there,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: then you go and you watch it again.
• 53:39
  Speaker 7: Watch it live in person. Then we watch it together
• 53:42
  Speaker 7: as a coaching staff, and then we'll watch it tonight
• 53:45
  Speaker 7: with the players when they come back over here for
• 53:47
  Speaker 7: meetings later on. So if you're a coach, you're going
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: to see it three times at least. But yes, it's details.
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: But the one thing that was getting a lot of
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: guys excited about that one particular play. It's to me,
• 54:00
  Speaker 7: you know, preseason practice where we are right now getting
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: ready for the first game. It's it's an awesome time
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: of year because you're not getting ready for an opponent yet,
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: it's all about yourself and just trying to get better.
• 54:09
  Speaker 7: So that particular play had a lot of guys excited
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: because it was a player on our team that you know,
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: we challenged kind of last night in a team meeting
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: that when you want to be you can wreck practice
• 54:19
  Speaker 7: when you want to in a good way because you
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: can be dominant and take things over. And that particular
• 54:23
  Speaker 7: play was a guy taking a play over from a
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: from a defensive standpoint, and it was the offensive coaches,
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: but it was one of those like wow, like this
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: guy can be really, really good. And it was pretty
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: cool to see that young man respond to being you know,
• 54:38
  Speaker 7: challenged last night to be the kind of player that
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: we think he can be. And that's what this is
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: all about, just building guys up.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: It's cool to see. We all had our shirts off
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: in there. It's funny, there's kegs, it's crazy. Then we
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: came out with.
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, people would people wouldn't believe what happened. Players
• 54:52
  Speaker 7: on around Greece.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: They don't.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: It's great coach, big fan of you, a big fan
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: of the program. And this is my second favorite school.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, Oklahom.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: I just family, man.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: My my our family is like the coach of the
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma softball team too. She's one like six national championship
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: so I have to root.
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: And that's the other thing too, when you talk about
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: things that stand out to Oklahoma, that's one of them,
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: Coach Gaso and like being able to go to Oklahoma
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: when you got you know, coach Gaso who had won
• 55:17
  Speaker 7: has won so many national championships, and saw seven women's gymnastics,
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: and you had Bob Stoops you know, living right, you
• 55:24
  Speaker 7: know down the street. There was always around. So just
• 55:26
  Speaker 7: the jokesti the athletic director of me. It's just like
• 55:30
  Speaker 7: men's gymnastics is one A done a national championship. So
• 55:32
  Speaker 7: just the tradition and all sports and the level of
• 55:34
  Speaker 7: expectation there was pretty cool as well. So I get it.
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: If we're your second favorite school, yes, if we're two
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: and two A, it's it's good. You're too enforced.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Whatever that force number is. Joe C is awesome.
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: I love Joe.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, Joe's like my dude.
• 55:48
  Speaker 7: Joe's awesome.

  Speaker 5: Man.

  Speaker 2: I meant to ask him if he has a boat. Yeah,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: and you didn't even ask if there was a gator anywhere.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Well, I knew there was no gator. Yeah, we talked
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: too much about chickens. I didn't want it to be
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: too much animal talk, you know what I mean? My

• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Although I do watch your I even watch your instagrams
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: in the off season when you're talking about college players
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, like you've you've managed to turn this into
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: a year round Like I don't know about job, but
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: a passion that's turned into a job.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Congratulations on that, thanks man.
• 58:02
  Speaker 11: You know, honestly, the offseason is where it's even more fun,
• 58:06
  Speaker 11: to be honest with you, because you're kind of like
• 58:08
  Speaker 11: trying to project these players going to the next level, right,
• 58:11
  Speaker 11: So the senior Bowl stuff, the college scouting stuff, it's
• 58:14
  Speaker 11: a lot of fun.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: For sure, and I do want to start there as
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: we get ready for fantasy football, both drafting and even playing.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: When you talk about rookies, obviously Vijeon Robinson, you know,
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: we can go to Detroit and look in their backfield,
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: both those running back for drafted in the first round.
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: But who are the rookies because I'm always scared to
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: draft rookies, But who are the rookies that actually can
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: make a difference this year?
• 58:34
  Speaker 11: I mean, if you take a look at the wide
• 58:35
  Speaker 11: receiver position, you know, unfortunately, if we have an injury
• 58:38
  Speaker 11: already Jackson spent the JIGBA hurt his wrists, He's going
• 58:41
  Speaker 11: to have a procedure. He's going to be out potentially
• 58:43
  Speaker 11: for a couple of weeks to start the year. But
• 58:45
  Speaker 11: you go further down the line, Zay Flowers for the
• 58:48
  Speaker 11: Ravens could potentially be Lamar's wide receiver one. Obviously Mark
• 58:51
  Speaker 11: Andrews is the guy to target there, but Zay Flowers
• 58:55
  Speaker 11: could make a pretty a pretty good impact even on
• 59:00
  Speaker 11: in the season. Quentin Johnson somebody to pay attention to, however,
• 59:03
  Speaker 11: he does have a couple of wide receivers most likely
• 59:06
  Speaker 11: ahead of him right now, but one of the you know,
• 59:11
  Speaker 11: one of the really really interesting rookies that I'm looking at.
• 59:15
  Speaker 11: You know, there's a few rookies later down the line,
• 59:17
  Speaker 11: like Michael Wilson for Arizona. He's starting right so there
• 59:21
  Speaker 11: are there are a few wide receivers to pay attention
• 59:23
  Speaker 11: to outside just the big names Arizona.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: They're going to try to tank the whole season.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: I just wouldn't want anybody on the Arizona offense if
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: I did. I'm not saying that he's not gonna score points,
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: but I mean me personally. Don't you feel like Arizona's
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: gonna try to lose every freaking game?
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 59:39
  Speaker 11: Probably, and their defense isn't gonna be good, but they're
• 59:41
  Speaker 11: gonna have to throw the ball a lot regardless. Now,
• 59:44
  Speaker 11: you know, I do play a lot of Dynasty Fantasy football,
• 59:47
  Speaker 11: and you know, I know, I know, the year long
• 59:49
  Speaker 11: thing is mostly what people do, but for Dynasty, he's
• 59:51
  Speaker 11: somebody that I'm paying attention to. You know, there are
• 59:54
  Speaker 11: some talented guys you could potentially get super late in
• 59:56
  Speaker 11: drafts just to pay attention to because the team, like
• 59:59
  Speaker 11: the Cardinals, they're gonna be bad. Their defense isn't good,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 11: so they're gonna have to throw the ball. Whether it's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 11: Klum Murray throwing the ball or not, they're gonna have
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 11: to throw it. So somebody's gonna have to get those targets.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: A couple of just very broad fantasy questions, what position
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: do you prefer to draft from generally one through twelve
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: in a twelve person league.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 11: I like to pick relatively early, maybe top three or four,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 11: and then I don't love the middle picks. I like
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 11: to go somewhere around the eighth spot or so, because
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 11: when you're around the eighth spot, you can be pretty sure,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 11: whether you're in a ten or twelve team league, that
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 11: in the second round you're gonna get a pretty good
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 11: stud like I've seen DeVonta Adams fall Around there, you
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 11: can get guys like Garrett Wilson, potentially around there as well.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 11: So if you can kind of have those two top
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 11: two players, really you know, start off your team with
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 11: two really really good studs, that's really nice. Now in
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 11: the top three, you're obviously going to get someone like
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 11: Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Christian McCaffrey, somebody who's really really
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 11: going to hold your team down.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 5: I prefer that or somewhere closer to the turn.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: We had our uh that kind of our our draft
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: pick selection. So we haven't done a draft yet. But
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: you get your name drawn and you get to pick
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: what pick that you want. So it's not like we
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: draw name and okay, Eddie, you got the second pick.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: It's like, Eddie, you get to pick second that type thing.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: And so I got the third selection of spots, and Mike,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: would you, Mike, what'd you get?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: I got one? You got the first selection and you
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: picked what one? You picked one?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: So I think I went third and I picked nine
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: because of what you said that I would read for me, I.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: Can get a good running back in the first round,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: and then I can flip around quickly and get another
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: good running back or a wide receiver at that two spot.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: So I also don't want the pressure of Jonathan Taylor
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: and that number one pick like last year, and it's
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: hurt and then all year long you're just screwed because
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: your number one pick went out pretty quick.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 11: Bobby, Bobby, I told you, I told you not to
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 11: take Jonathan Taylor early.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: Listen, listen.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: And John Taylor now this year, what the heck is?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Where's he gonna end up? Playing Miami Kansas City?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 11: Who knows? Miami's already made some calls. Apparently apparently they've
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 11: already contacted the Colts. I don't know what kind of
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 11: compensation they're going to have to give up here. They
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 11: want a first round pick back. I mean, that's just
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 11: kind of crazy, to be honest with you. I don't
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 11: think they're going to get anything like that, but they
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 11: are in contact. They wanted to get Dalvin Cook, but
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 11: now they can get a much younger running back. They're
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 11: going to have to pay up though, that's the only issue.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: Are you worried this year that Jalen Hurts last year
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: could have been a a I won't say fluke, but
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: that he could have extremely outperformed what he's ever going
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: to do again, because one they kind of know what
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: he does. Now they kind of have an understanding of
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: that ego offense more than they ever have.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think so it is in the Rummel possibility.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 11: I do think that is, you know, in his range
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 11: of outcomes for him too. He was very, very efficient
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 11: last year. This was not a pass first team. Last year,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 11: this was mostly focused on the run game. But Aj Brown,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 11: DeVante Smith, and Dallas Goddard they helped him out a ton,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 11: and now they bringing DeAndre is Swift. I think that
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 11: is a little bit of a new wrinkle that's a
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 11: little underrated here in the receiving game. I know that
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 11: rushing quarterbacks tend to not throw it to the running
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 11: back position. However, DeAndre Swift is somebody who could who
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 11: is a receiver, right. He is not a running back
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 11: that you're just checking it down to. He's going to
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 11: be running routes and running routes downfield underneath coverage and
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 11: that sort of thing. So I think that adds a
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 11: nice wrinkle as long as he can stay healthy. I
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 11: think because of him, he's a little bit of an
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 11: X factor here in this offense, kind of continuing and
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 11: building on what they did last year.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: So where does he rank in your quarterbacks, then.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: He's number one.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 11: He's number one, and the reason why he is number
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 11: one is because of the fact that he does everything.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 11: He is kind of the perfect quarterback for fantasy. Number one.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 11: He is a rusher, right, that is the number one.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 11: You know, it's basically a guarantee that you're going to
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 11: be a top five quarterback, right the way that he runs.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 11: Number two, he's used at the goal line.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 11: He was used so much at the goal line with
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 11: you know, the little tush push that they almost changed
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 11: a rule because of it. They did not change the rule,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 11: so they're going to continue to do that and allow
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 11: the offensive line to push Jalen Hurts into the you know,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 11: into the goal line on the one yard line. Number three,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 11: he's passing the ball a really, really good amount. He
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 11: could put up the passing yardage on top of the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 11: rushing yardage, and he has the weapons, right, so he
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 11: has everything. When you look at someone like Lamar, you know,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 11: potentially this year, I think he's going to pass the
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 11: ball a lot more. But from what we've seen in
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 11: the past where he did finish as the overall QB
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 11: one before, it was really about the rushing. Now, he
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 11: did lead the lead the league in passing touchdowns, but
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 11: the passing yardage was not there, so he was missing
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 11: that little piece there. But Jalen Hurts, there is not
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 11: one piece of his game for fantasy, at least that
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 11: he doesn't have.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: Justin Fields at a really good back end of the
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: season for fantasy, if you know, in the upper mid twenties.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: Part of the year sucked, but he's got a true
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: number one receiver. Now, how do you kind of feel
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: like Justin Fields is going to play fantasy wise?
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 11: He finished the season as the QB five, so the
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 11: overall number five quarterback in PPR, and there's no PPR
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 11: and quarterbacks play, but in points per game Fantasy points
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 11: per game for Justin Fields, this is across the entire season, okay.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 11: And this is without DJ Moore in an extremely run
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 11: heavy offense. And I think this offense is going to
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 11: continue to be relatively run heavy.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 5: But bringing DJ Moore.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 11: In, dart Out Mooney actually healthy for a season, Chase
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 11: Claypool potentially healthy too. He has Cole Kmet, he has
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 11: a couple of weapons in the backfield, Khalil Herbert. I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 11: think this is going to be a different offense this year,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 11: and the fact that he has more weapons that he
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 11: can utilize. Also, he'll be dropping back a little bit
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 11: more with the addition of a true number one in
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 11: Dj Moore. I think he is potentially in line to
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 11: be the overall QB one when it's all said and
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 11: done this year.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 5: He has that upside. I do have him ranked in
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 5: my top five this year.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Tony Pollard injured last year at the end of the year.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: But also, you know, not the biggest back, but it's
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: not always about being the biggest back. Now we see
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: that Tony Pollard, do you think he can be that
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: RB one, two or three overall?
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 5: I do? I do.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 11: I think, you know, one of my bold predictions on
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 11: the show the other day was him finishing as the
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 11: overall RB one for a fantasy I have n't ranked
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 11: as my RB three going into the year, and I
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 11: think it's just a matter of listen, he was the
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 11: RB seven, he was at RB one last year, right,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 11: he was a top twelve running back in fantasy and
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 11: that was with Zeke Elliott stealing all the goal line carries,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 11: stealing you know, a ton of rushing attempts.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 5: This is going to be Tony Poller's show.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 11: We just had you know, longtime Cowboys scout and you
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 11: know beat reporter Brian Rhodis on the show yesterday and
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 11: he basically said that he you know, he's on a
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 11: one year deal, right, he's on the franchise tag. They
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 11: have no reason to worry about him about running him
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 11: into the ground. I think that's what they're going to
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 11: end up doing this year to get all the touches.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 11: They didn't bring anybody back Zeke signed. You know, with
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 11: New England, there's gonna be another running back taking touches
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 11: away from Tony Pollard. And because of that, we saw
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 11: how efficient he was last year even with Zeke there.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 11: Now you add the goal line role to what he
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 11: already had, more routes, run, more rushing attempts. As long
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 11: as he stays healthy, and obviously that is the question,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 11: because he hasn't handled this type of work club before.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 11: He can easily finish as the overall RB one this year.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: Speaking of staying healthy, Cooper cup In, you know with
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: the Rams, just an absolute killer two years ago. Last
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: year struggled a bit with his health. Will he ever
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: be that guy again?
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: I hope so? I mean before he got hurt.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 11: Last year, he was the number one wide receiver and
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 11: you know the story wise on a points per game basis,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 11: so I do think he can be that guy. Now
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 11: we have to be a little bit concerned here because
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 11: of the injury that he had last year, high ankle injury,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 11: and then on top of that he had a little
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 11: bit of a procedure to fix that, and now we're
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 11: seeing a soft tissue injury.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 5: He is over thirty. That's not great.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 11: So you know, if you want to be a little
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 11: safe here, you know, you don't take him over guys
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 11: like Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase, right, you potentially take
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 11: someone like Tyreek Hill over him. You potentially take Travis
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 11: Kelcey over him, Stefan Digs. That's if and the last
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 11: couple of guys that I mentioned, that's if you really
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 11: really want to be safe. Right, But the upside is
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 11: still the overall wide receiver one, the way that Sean
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 11: McVay schemes Cooper Cup up right, and then on top
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 11: of that his ability. He still has the ability, right,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 11: and it's really a matter of him staying healthy. The
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 11: other risk here is that does Matthew Stafford stay healthy
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 11: the entire season. Right, So there's a couple of you know,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 11: potential issues here with Cooper Cup. Right, you have to
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 11: you know, weigh your risk when it comes to picking him.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 11: But the fact that there are so many good first
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 11: round picks this year without as many questions, however, maybe
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 11: not as much upside as Cooper Cup. There's a decision
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 11: to be made there.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: If Cooper Cup is available at what pick you must
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: draft him?
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: What where should he bought him out at?
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 11: I would say, I would say pick seven. Pick seven
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 11: is really where I'm at. So basically, what does that mean?
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 11: That means you picked Justin Jefferson, Christian McCaffrey, Jamar Chase,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 11: you picked Tyreek Hill, potentially B John Robinson, and Travis Kelcey.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 11: I think those are the guys am I missing, Oh,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 11: Austin ekwertso, Austin Eckler probably before B John Robinson.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 5: B John Robinson can.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 11: Probably be picked at around pick eight or so. So
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 11: I think those are the guys that I think once
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 11: they're off the board, I'm probably taking Cooper Cup.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: Two tight ends I want to talk about quickly. Is
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: Darren Waller with the Giants for the first time. And
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: then also Kyle Pitts, who I mean, he's been alive
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: but not barely for fantasy and a guy that I've
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: had a lot of hopes hopes on. So talk about
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: both of those guys and your expectations for both Waller
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: and Pitts.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 11: I think Darren Waller, you know, he showed it in
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 11: the preseason right, all offseason in training camp, all the
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 11: Beat reporters have been saying that he is Daniel Jones guy.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 11: He is the number one target and no one's even close.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 11: We heard that, we heard that, and then we saw
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 11: preseason action, and in the preseason action it basically confirmed
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 11: all the priors.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 5: Right. He ran a route when every drop back he got.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 11: Targeted on forty percent or fifty percent of the routes
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 11: that he ran by Daniel Jones with the first team.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 11: So he's going to be his guy. His only question
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 11: can he stay healthy? But he does have top two
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 11: upside at the position. He can finish over Mark Andrews
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 11: and probably under Travis Kelsey, assuming that Kelsey doesn't lose
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 11: a step at age thirty four. Right, But darn Waller
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 11: has that upside. We saw it a couple of years ago.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 11: You know, on the Raiders now he is the clear
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 11: number one target, so he's going to potentially most likely
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 11: lead the Giants in targets. And we're also seeing and
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 11: hearing about Daniel Jones taking a step forward here right
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 11: in the second year with Brian Dable. We've seen this
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 11: before right in Buffalo. So I'm not saying that these two.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 11: You know, he's the same quarterbacks as they have in Buffalo,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 11: but at the end of the day, like you got
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 11: to understand that if he's going to take the next level,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 11: and on top of that, you're going to have somebody
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 11: who could potentially lead the team in targets, you got
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 11: to target him. So he's a big target of mine. Okay,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 11: who's all the time we're talking about cal Fits cal Pits.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 11: Calpits is somebody that you should continue to buy into.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 11: Right My issue is their head coach Arthur Smith. He
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 11: does weird things. He drafts talent high, doesn't use them
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 11: as as well. The route participation needs to be there.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 11: What does that mean? He needs to be running a
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 11: high percentage of routes on every single drop back that
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 11: desmon Ritter has. Are we going to see that the
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 11: preseason usage was a little bit iffy, to be honest
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 11: with you. However, he was an alpha target earner last
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 11: season despite him not coming through for fantasy and usually
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 11: this is a bilow situation. He's one of the biggest
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 11: by lows in like the history of the tight end position.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 11: He is somebody that you should buy low on. Don't
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 11: give up on him. He can easily finish top three
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 11: this year, maybe higher.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: Let's do a quick round of what's their ceiling? So
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: give me where you think they compete here. For example,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: let's go to Jacksonville. Jacksonville as a team's been playing
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: pretty good. That offense was pretty good in getting better
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: last year. It seems like that once they got rid
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: of their coach, you know, things went a lot better
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: once they changed out their entire staff there. So, how
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: do you feel about Trevor Lawrence. What's the ceiling on
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: how he finishes this year in the quarterback rankings?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: I think his ceiling is a QB four overall.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: Running backs, Austin Eckler RB one overall, Saquon RB four overall. Wow,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: that's all huh yeah?
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 11: I think so, you know, I think if you look
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 11: at Saquan's efficiency last year, it fell off a little bit.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 11: You know, I do think he's going to be targeted
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 11: a ton this year, but the efficiency just might not
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 11: be there. I think there's a lot of other younger
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 11: running backs with a good amount of involvement in the
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 11: passing game, goal line roles, and overall volume that I
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 11: think that you know, he could potentially not get there
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 11: where he used to be.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 5: Top two, top three.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, final question here when it comes to the Kansasity offense,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: Let's take Kelsey out of it, Let's take Lamar or
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes out of it. Who else on that offense
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: should be draftable for fantasy?
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 11: It's tough, man, It's a little bit of a crapshoot. However,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 11: I think if I'm going to take a bet on anybody,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 11: it's skymore. Sky Moore is the one who has been
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 11: consistently working with the first team this offseason. Twelve personnel,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 11: eleven personnel he has been on the field. You can't
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 11: bet on Kadarius Tony staying healthy. And regardless of whether
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 11: he's healthier or not, I think Sky was gonna be
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 11: very involved. He was a pretty good receiver coming out
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 11: last year. Obviously, he didn't play in the Power five.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 11: You know, there was a little bit of a ramp
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 11: up period needed, but I think he's a pretty good receiver.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 11: I liked him coming out last season, you know, when
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 11: he came into the NFL, and I like him this year.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 11: It looks like he's pretty involved with Patrick Mahomes and
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 11: the first team and the team has been raving about
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 11: him a little bit. So I think sky Moore is
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 11: somebody that you can get in the eleventh or twelfth
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 11: round of your twelve team drafts this year and potentially
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 11: be surprised.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: We were talking about upperhand fantasy before you came on.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: So it's a big time for you. Is it busier
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: now before the draft or during the season.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 5: It's extremely busy right now.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 11: The month of August is absolutely nuts because everyone's trying
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 11: to get a little bit of your time. However, during
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 11: the season, it's it's more of the same thing every week,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 11: which gets a little you know, tiresome by November.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 11: So the good thing about the offseason is that we
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 11: can get creative, right, Like, there's a lot of creativity
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 11: involved in this, right and you're you know, you have
