Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Georgia would beat Texas. Deuce, Ricky, you agree with that?
- 0:05Speaker 1: Georgia would beat Texas?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Yeah. How about that? I would say that. Right now,
- 0:11Speaker 2: I would say Georgia would beat Texas because, look, both
- 0:15Speaker 2: teams have a great defense. No lie, but for me,
- 0:18Speaker 2: I got to be able to go with the team
- 0:20Speaker 2: who is better on the offensive side.
- 0:22Speaker 1: How about Konosuba? He said the real number one is Georgia,
- 0:26Speaker 1: which Takiyo's okay with. which pains me to say as
- 0:29Speaker 1: a UF fan. You know what? Kona Suba, you know
- 0:32Speaker 1: what's great?
- 0:32Speaker 2: You got a squad you can brag about.
- 0:34Speaker 1: And guess what? You're going to find out in Atlanta
- 0:37Speaker 1: if you can compete with Georgia, so you probably feel
- 0:39Speaker 1: dang good about it. I can get behind Georgia as
- 0:41Speaker 1: number one. I think Texas obviously being the– wow, okay.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Now you totally lost me.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Kona, now we push.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Now you lost me, bro. Like Texas is not a
- 0:49Speaker 1: top ten team. Is Ohio State a top ten team?
- 0:51Speaker 2: What? Can I get up and show you what I see?
- 0:53Speaker 1: Yeah, get your butt. If your back's okay, I want
- 0:55Speaker 1: to make sure your back's okay.
- 0:57Speaker 2: What back is good? I'm back.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Okay.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Spikes is back. And look, let me let me just
- 1:01Speaker 2: tell you this just to put this into contact DP
- 1:05Speaker 2: going back to 2022 the Georgia Bulldogs. They were outstanding
- 1:10Speaker 2: on the rush game only allowing 77 yards per game.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Now you fast forward four years later. They're only giving
- 1:18Speaker 2: up 51 yards rushing per game. At the end of
- 1:22Speaker 2: the day, it's all about you earn the right to
- 1:24Speaker 2: rush the passer. Let me show you. Let's take a
- 1:27Speaker 2: look so you can see exactly what I'm talking about.
- 1:31Speaker 2: This is why they're so good on the run. First
- 1:34Speaker 2: play right here. Just take a look up front. We're
- 1:40Speaker 2: going to take a look at. This young man right here,
- 1:43Speaker 2: Jordan Hall, number 44. He is so good at what
- 1:47Speaker 2: he does. Very slippery, understands how to be able to
- 1:51Speaker 2: not only take on a block, but skate a block
- 1:54Speaker 2: and get around and make a play. All of these
- 1:56Speaker 2: plays I'm about to show you are from negative yardage plays.
- 2:01Speaker 2: You see him here. He comes down the line of scrimmage,
- 2:05Speaker 2: makes the tackle. Let's go to a second. Second play.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Is this the best defense in the country?
- 2:17Speaker 2: Best defense in the country.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Not even close.
- 2:19Speaker 2: I think it's the best defense in the country. And
- 2:21Speaker 2: the reason why I say this is because.
- 2:24Speaker 2: What they've been able to do. Let's go back over
- 2:26Speaker 2: the past two weeks past two weeks. They play Arkansas
- 2:30Speaker 2: SEC competition apples to apples when we talk about comparison
- 2:34Speaker 2: and then you turn around and slap Oklahoma upside the
- 2:37Speaker 2: head against Arkansas. They only gave up one yards per rush.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Hold up. Did I is that right? One yards per
- 2:47Speaker 2: rush and then against Oklahoma. You only gave up a
- 2:50Speaker 2: yard and a half. This is how they're doing it.
- 2:54Speaker 2: It's collectively understanding guys. Let's go back because I want
- 2:58Speaker 2: to show you the beauty of what's going on right here.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Look at the inside linebacker. He's making this talk. Once
- 3:07Speaker 2: he see this float action goes this way. He's going
- 3:10Speaker 2: to come down and fill the lane. Let me show
- 3:12Speaker 2: you right here. Number five, Raylan Wilson pause it. Boom.
- 3:25Speaker 1: And we got six guys in the box too.
- 3:27Speaker 2: That's not like they're playing the run with six guys
- 3:29Speaker 2: in the box.
- 3:30Speaker 1: It's at a deficit reset in the line of scrimmage.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Beautiful. That's the thing I love about them right here.
- 3:36Speaker 2: And then this last one. This is my favorite play
- 3:39Speaker 2: right here. Stopping the run. This is collectively. This is
- 3:42Speaker 2: not just one guy. Here material calls for motion coming across.
- 3:51Speaker 2: They come back and pull. Let me slow this down
- 3:53Speaker 2: for you. A lot of good teaching tape right here.
- 3:58Speaker 2: They're going to take both of these guards. Guard, tackle,
- 4:03Speaker 2: they come around and pull. The beauty of this, watch
- 4:07Speaker 2: this defensive end comes through here and he's going to
- 4:11Speaker 2: wreck the entire play and it's going to cause a roadblock.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Look at this right here. Boom, blows him up. Jordan
- 4:24Speaker 2: Hall again, coming back over the top. And then number nine,
- 4:30Speaker 2: coming back. And so this is the reason why Georgia
- 4:34Speaker 2: is so good. It's not just one guy who's just
- 4:37Speaker 2: wrecking shop. They understand their responsibility. They play off of
- 4:41Speaker 2: each other and they play total team defense. And that's
- 4:45Speaker 2: what it takes. When you play a 3-4 defense game,
- 4:49Speaker 2: It takes that nose guard being able to hold an
- 4:52Speaker 2: offensive guard up so you can run down here as
- 4:54Speaker 2: a linebacker. It's dirty work. And they do it so unselfish, Pollard.
- 4:59Speaker 2: They do it. And you know that because you used
- 5:01Speaker 2: to be part of that right down in the dirt.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Your hand in the dirt.
- 5:04Speaker 1: If you don't do it, you're going to be on
- 5:05Speaker 1: the sidelines.
- 5:06Speaker 2: I know it.
- 5:06Speaker 1: You won't be able to play. I mean, Kirby will
- 5:08Speaker 1: be like, yeah, get your butt right over here.
