- 1:12Speaker 1: So we're gonna jump in here. Coop. I got to
- 1:16Speaker 1: say my man, I got to say it was awesome.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Here's the first opening statement. Then I gotta pass to you, Coop.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Open the statement. I want everybody to do me a favor.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Thank y'all for be hearing the chat. Thank you for
- 1:29Speaker 1: being here in the chat. At what point, and I
- 1:32Speaker 1: want you to be honest with me and yourselves right,
- 1:36Speaker 1: at what point during this game did you feel like
- 1:41Speaker 1: Oklahoma was not gonna win by more than four scores?
- 1:45Speaker 1: Tell me when put that in a comment, be honest
- 1:49Speaker 1: with me and yourself. At what point did you think that?
- 1:52Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna tell you I never thought that at
- 1:54Speaker 1: one moment at any instance of this game. Coop Friday Night,
- 2:01Speaker 1: the environment with the fans, the people there, it felt good.
- 2:07Speaker 1: How'd you feel about the environment itself there for one
- 2:14Speaker 1: of our first Friday night games in a long time?
- 2:18Speaker 2: You know, I felt like the environment was that everybody
- 2:20Speaker 2: wanted just football to be here. You know, the talk
- 2:23Speaker 2: season being over. And I think that maybe it's because,
- 2:29Speaker 2: you know, was it two and a half years ago?
- 2:31Speaker 2: We get the A and M cat who says, breaking news,
- 2:37Speaker 2: OU in Texas about to head out to the SEC.
- 2:40Speaker 2: This is going down, And I think that that, you know,
- 2:43Speaker 2: tonight or I guess Friday Night was a was just
- 2:47Speaker 2: the fruition of all that waiting. Everybody was ready for
- 2:51Speaker 2: the season to be here. Did it feel different and
- 2:56Speaker 2: so yeah, I mean just walking around, it seems like
- 2:58Speaker 2: everybody just wanted to see some football. Also, it felt
- 3:01Speaker 2: like everybody was prepared for it to be hot as
- 3:03Speaker 2: hell out there, and when the weather let up a
- 3:06Speaker 2: little bit, you know, I think that that was it
- 3:08Speaker 2: that was exciting. But also like waiting on the defense
- 3:13Speaker 2: and watching the defense, I felt like everybody was excited,
- 3:16Speaker 2: like to see that.
- 3:20Speaker 1: It's true, Like I liked how the streets were full
- 3:24Speaker 1: of Sooner fans. There were people everywhere, a lot of
- 3:28Speaker 1: your your tailgating looked like it. The game did step
- 3:31Speaker 1: up some. We still got levels to get to as
- 3:34Speaker 1: we prepare for infiltration from SEC people, but we did.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I did feel like we stepped things up. There were
- 3:41Speaker 1: a lot of people. I mean, the crowds were a
- 3:42Speaker 1: lot bigger and better. The Walk of Champions had a
- 3:45Speaker 1: nice crowd around it. It felt like we we cared.
- 3:50Speaker 1: And I'm saying that not as any type of shady
- 3:53Speaker 1: way or anything or throwing shaded fans. It's more of
- 3:56Speaker 1: a you see this when you go to SEC campus,
- 3:59Speaker 1: as I've been down there at Death Valley for a game.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Bro It's Miles Miles, Miles miles of tailgating. I went
- 4:08Speaker 1: to Tuscaloosa and I watched them play Tennessee. I think
- 4:11Speaker 1: they had like four acres of land. That's just literally tense,
- 4:15Speaker 1: and it's it doesn't stop moving, right. I've been out
- 4:17Speaker 1: to Naalan and check that out. There is miles of it, right.
- 4:22Speaker 1: So my point is that's where we're gonna have to
- 4:25Speaker 1: up our game and show up for that portion of it.
- 4:29Speaker 1: And I think I think we did a really good job.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I think it was a great first start, especially for
- 4:33Speaker 1: a Friday night. That's the one thing I wanted to
- 4:35Speaker 1: come in sooner fans for.
- 4:39Speaker 3: You know.
- 4:40Speaker 2: I got down there on campus right around noon, and
- 4:44Speaker 2: so to the guys who welcomed me. While I was
- 4:47Speaker 2: parking my car, I literally hop out the hop out
- 4:50Speaker 2: the car. Guys look over at me and they're like,
- 4:54Speaker 2: you want a shotgun of beer? And you know I couldn't.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I couldn't say no, could not say no. And so
- 5:00Speaker 2: now they did hand me, hand me a fruity beer.
- 5:03Speaker 2: And your boy has a shotgun a beer in quite
- 5:06Speaker 2: a long time, and so uh, but I held my
- 5:09Speaker 2: own so pretty good. So that's when I knew, like,
- 5:12Speaker 2: all right, it's it's it's go time. Because it was
- 5:14Speaker 2: not only not just kids. I mean it was one
- 5:15Speaker 2: of the one of them was a dad too. And
- 5:18Speaker 2: so I got out there, got down, got to hang
- 5:21Speaker 2: out with Parker Thune a little bit, see the bos,
- 5:23Speaker 2: talk to Teddy, you know, we talked to Gabe.
- 5:26Speaker 3: It just everybody seemed like ready to go.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Yeah, the energy was good, and that's kind of what
- 5:32Speaker 1: I wanted to point out to start the show. I
- 5:34Speaker 1: felt like the energy was fantastic. So thank y'all, Sooner fans,
- 5:39Speaker 1: Sooner Nation, everybody that you know pulled up. It felt
- 5:43Speaker 1: like we cared all right, just leading to the first
- 5:47Speaker 1: thing we'll talk about. You know, I think I think
- 5:50Speaker 1: I feel like we probably should open things up on
- 5:55Speaker 1: a good side, on a good note, on an exciting note,
- 5:58Speaker 1: on a happy note. Coop, did you recognize something crazy
- 6:03Speaker 1: about our special teams?
- 6:07Speaker 3: Yeah? I did.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Did you notice that we not only made one, not two,
- 6:16Speaker 1: but we made three field goals in a row? Coop?
- 6:21Speaker 1: Did you see that we made a field goal of
- 6:23Speaker 1: fifty yards?
- 6:24Speaker 2: And of course where we were sitting, you couldn't see
- 6:28Speaker 2: like how good it was. You know, it was like
- 6:30Speaker 2: even the all three of them I was watching the
- 6:33Speaker 2: refs more than where the ball was, because I mean
- 6:35Speaker 2: we didn't really have a good angle, you know, from
- 6:37Speaker 2: where were at, and so we had to go back
- 6:42Speaker 2: and look at the film and they all looked pretty
- 6:44Speaker 2: dad them true, and so I mean, that's uh, it
- 6:48Speaker 2: is what it is like. It's it's Keltner went out there.
- 6:51Speaker 2: And yeah, that's why I said, as long as dude
- 6:52Speaker 2: doesn't want to kick no fast food. I don't care
- 6:55Speaker 2: if it's a dumpling, I don't care if it's impanadas.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Nothing.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Do not kick anything, dude, And I mean at at all,
- 7:03Speaker 2: at all, stay away from kicking food. Kick Football's call
- 7:06Speaker 2: to day.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Bruh. We made three. I'm gonna put it this way, right.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I said this in a video I dropped out too
- 7:13Speaker 1: long ago for Sooner fans and pointed out something, how
- 7:15Speaker 1: y'all are alright or whatnot. I'll make sure to do
- 7:17Speaker 1: that series going forward for the rest of the season
- 7:20Speaker 1: based upon your reactions where I feel like you're right,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about some of the stuff you missed.
- 7:24Speaker 1: You'll probably get some of it here, but I'll repeat
- 7:26Speaker 1: it in a video that's of course more condensed. Cool
- 7:30Speaker 1: people don't need to know who the kicker is this year.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Ain't that crazy? Right? Last year it was funny because
- 7:36Speaker 1: people were saying, I should not know the name of
- 7:38Speaker 1: the kicker. They should just go out there, kick the
- 7:40Speaker 1: ball and go. We shouldn't be talking about them. We
- 7:43Speaker 1: shouldn't be talking about like having Dicker the kicker on
- 7:45Speaker 1: our team. We shouldn't be saying anything about kickers. Kelner's
- 7:49Speaker 1: name should not be known. This is probably the only time,
- 7:51Speaker 1: hopefully for the rest of the season, we hear this
- 7:52Speaker 1: man's name, even if it's a game winner. Nobody wants
- 7:56Speaker 1: to know who the kicker's name is. We got a kicker, y'all.
- 7:59Speaker 1: He looked good.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Get it in position, get it in position, and uh no,
- 8:03Speaker 2: I'm with you, but special teams just looked I mean,
- 8:06Speaker 2: it looked coordinated. I think the only yip I think
- 8:08Speaker 2: I had was Tatum got pushed into got got pushed
- 8:13Speaker 2: into Peyton Bowen at one point. And you know, we
- 8:15Speaker 2: said that could have been scary, just because he kind
- 8:17Speaker 2: of went sideways right in the Bowen's kind of an
- 8:19Speaker 2: upper body. So uh but yeah, man, it was.
- 8:22Speaker 3: It was good. And I don't know, I mean.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Like you guys, let me know in the comments, like
- 8:27Speaker 2: what you think, like are you going to be happy
- 8:30Speaker 2: now or is it still going to be you know,
- 8:33Speaker 2: three or four games several, you know, because for me,
- 8:36Speaker 2: I still want to see it in a pressure situation.
- 8:39Speaker 2: I still want to see you know it at the
- 8:40Speaker 2: end of a half. I want to see uh, you
- 8:42Speaker 2: know it being in a close game. But I mean,
- 8:45Speaker 2: he he did what he was supposed to do. You
- 8:47Speaker 2: do And this whole, this whole show tonight is going
- 8:49Speaker 2: to be about doing what is I mean, taking care
- 8:52Speaker 2: of the you know, the task in front of you.
- 8:53Speaker 3: So so far he is he's aces exactly.
- 8:58Speaker 1: We've got a kicker ladies and gentlemen in fifty yard
- 9:00Speaker 1: that was beautiful and it had extra yards behind it. Right,
- 9:02Speaker 1: I'll rewatch the game like three times. I got my
- 9:05Speaker 1: four to rewatch probably after this because I want to
- 9:08Speaker 1: go through and kind of fine too cone some of
- 9:11Speaker 1: the possessions that I looked at, like and so we'll
- 9:14Speaker 1: we'll get into that in a bit. Thank you out
- 9:15Speaker 1: for pulling up. Please hit that like button. If you're
- 9:18Speaker 1: new to the channel, subscribe, go ahead and wipe your feet.
- 9:21Speaker 1: We appreciate y'all.
- 9:22Speaker 3: Join it.
- 9:22Speaker 1: We're gonna talk defense first. I think we should go
- 9:24Speaker 1: ahead and start this bad way on a good note
- 9:26Speaker 1: because this segment will probably go a lot faster than others.
- 9:30Speaker 1: So we're gonna dive into our thoughts behind the defense.
- 9:35Speaker 1: If you have questions for us around the defense, feel
- 9:37Speaker 1: free to throw that in the comments section. Now, we'll
- 9:40Speaker 1: at the end of our breakdown, we will go through
- 9:42Speaker 1: some of those questions. I'm starring them as we speak,
- 9:45Speaker 1: so we'll do that. Coop, I am taking a gander
- 9:48Speaker 1: at this. I want to start here at the defensive line,
- 9:50Speaker 1: and this is my main feeling behind this defensive line.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Dog we got competitive.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Depth, my friends, nobody toasts to competitive depth. Take two drinks.
- 10:06Speaker 1: I'm watching the film on this one, and it's funny
- 10:08Speaker 1: because we had very big time questions about what that
- 10:12Speaker 1: defensive line was gonna look like, especially with the younger
- 10:16Speaker 1: players that we've been curious about. They're going to show out.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Marcus Strong gets in the game, takes advantage of it,
- 10:22Speaker 1: gets his two secs. Grayson Hall gets in there, gets
- 10:24Speaker 1: his sack and a half that was shared with Champ Sanders. Right,
- 10:27Speaker 1: Ethan Downs punches the ball in, gets a force fumble, Coop.
- 10:32Speaker 1: I am impressed that every single player on the defensive
- 10:36Speaker 1: line that got in their day, John Terry, Dominic Williams,
- 10:39Speaker 1: they found a way to be disruptive. Jayden Jackson, Ethan Downs,
- 10:43Speaker 1: PG addabuare Our, Mason Thomas, period, all of them were disruptive.
- 10:48Speaker 1: How'd you feel about that defensive line?
- 10:52Speaker 2: I mean from the interior, right from the get go.
- 10:54Speaker 2: That's one of the things I was just trying to
- 10:56Speaker 2: do is watch watch the defensive line, like were they
- 10:59Speaker 2: changing the line a scrimmage?
- 11:00Speaker 3: Where were they playing in the backfield?
- 11:03Speaker 2: And I think from the defensive tackle standpoint, I said
- 11:06Speaker 2: this on my breakdown it. I mean, the defensive tackles
- 11:10Speaker 2: were so disruptive that they were changing the defensive line
- 11:15Speaker 2: and they're making it hard for the for the edge
- 11:18Speaker 2: guys to actually get get through because they were there first,
- 11:21Speaker 2: and which they should be and so and it wasn't
- 11:24Speaker 2: just one guy, it was multiple guys. And for anybody
- 11:30Speaker 2: who was wondering why Jaden Jackson was out there, I mean,
- 11:34Speaker 2: we knew this cat was different. A lot of guys
- 11:37Speaker 2: were starting to call that, you know, starting to call that,
- 11:40Speaker 2: you know, when he committed like this guy is just different.
- 11:43Speaker 2: And so I mean, it's I'm kind of speechless at
- 11:47Speaker 2: this point because again it was yes, it's Temple.
- 11:51Speaker 3: They're they're terrible.
- 11:52Speaker 2: They may have one of the worst offensive lines in
- 11:54Speaker 2: the country, but you have the task in front of
- 11:57Speaker 2: you and you have to tackle that task, no excuses,
- 12:01Speaker 2: and we will touch on that a lot tonight, but
- 12:04Speaker 2: no excuses. The defensive lind went out and did exactly
- 12:06Speaker 2: what they were supposed to.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Great point, and that was one thing I saw with
- 12:11Speaker 1: the way that the rotations were going right, you summed
- 12:15Speaker 1: it up perfectly. Those edges, those tackles were pushing in
- 12:19Speaker 1: so much and as the edges came in, you could
- 12:22Speaker 1: see that the Temple offensive lineman tried to stop those
- 12:25Speaker 1: edges for coming because they were initially very disruptive to
- 12:29Speaker 1: Brock Like he started the game over five, and you
- 12:31Speaker 1: could tell that it was a lot of the pressure.
- 12:32Speaker 1: He felt pressure coming at him. And that's the one
- 12:34Speaker 1: thing I'll give that young dude props for. But it
- 12:37Speaker 1: was the problem with him feeling that pressure was you
- 12:39Speaker 1: could tell that he was scared. He was fearful every
- 12:44Speaker 1: time he dropped back. Initially, I was cracking up because
- 12:46Speaker 1: he'd see somebody coming, he throw that thing out immediately,
- 12:50Speaker 1: and so we did a really good job of getting
- 12:53Speaker 1: that pressure defensive tackle wise. Right when you started to
- 12:57Speaker 1: see this shift from JJ to Dominic to Harry, which
- 13:00Speaker 1: Terry was really good in this game too. He had
- 13:02Speaker 1: a very funny moment by the way. I'm not sure
- 13:04Speaker 1: if anybody recognized this. I saw it on the replay
- 13:06Speaker 1: and it made me laugh. I'm gonna have to clip
- 13:09Speaker 1: it and post it on social media pretty soon. But
- 13:13Speaker 1: when he got that fumble, I don't think people recognize
- 13:16Speaker 1: what he did. Some may have, but I laughed because
- 13:19Speaker 1: he first he gathered the fumbles if he was gonna
- 13:21Speaker 1: lay on it, right he realized nobody was close enough,
- 13:24Speaker 1: he stood up over the ball, picked it up, and
- 13:27Speaker 1: tried to run with it. I'm just like, wait a minute, now,
- 13:31Speaker 1: just get the funner. You ain't gonta do all the
- 13:32Speaker 1: but he you don't have to do all the theatrics.
- 13:35Speaker 1: But I was cracking up, like, what like, did he
- 13:37Speaker 1: really just stand up over the ball like this, pick
- 13:40Speaker 1: it up and then try to run. It's like the
- 13:42Speaker 1: ball was so far away from the pile of people
- 13:45Speaker 1: trying to pretend they were fighting for it. He tried
- 13:47Speaker 1: to find a way to get himself a score out
- 13:50Speaker 1: of it. I wasn't even mad about that.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Dude wanted to eat.
- 13:54Speaker 2: I mean, it's been a while, it's been a while,
- 13:57Speaker 2: and you know again, I saw somebody in the comment
- 14:01Speaker 2: like a lot of people were. I mean there were
- 14:03Speaker 2: multiple times that Don Williams was, you know, getting triple teams,
- 14:08Speaker 2: and that was disrespectful from the get go, and then
- 14:12Speaker 2: later in the game it looked, it looked really really
- 14:16Speaker 2: funny because then all of a sudden, Jane Jackson started
- 14:19Speaker 2: and then the next guy. So I think what we're
- 14:21Speaker 2: seeing is, yes, it is temple, but you cannot I mean,
- 14:26Speaker 2: if you're gonna do Max Protect, somebody is going to
- 14:29Speaker 2: have Even with Max Protect, somebody is going to have
- 14:32Speaker 2: a one on one.
- 14:33Speaker 3: And I think these defensive.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Tackles are every single I mean, all four of those
- 14:36Speaker 2: top four guys are are very, very able to win
- 14:41Speaker 2: one on ones consistently.
- 14:42Speaker 3: And that's what we're looking for.
- 14:45Speaker 1: It's all we asked for from the squad. Right, we
- 14:48Speaker 1: asked for them to show up, show out in that capacity,
- 14:51Speaker 1: to move on to the linebacker room. Right linebacker room
- 14:57Speaker 1: was one that hit. I'm gonna be ond and it's cool.
- 15:02Speaker 1: This is what I got to say about the linebacker room.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Shout out to zach Alli right. First off, he called
- 15:10Speaker 1: the whole game, so y'all should feel good about this
- 15:12Speaker 1: defense now, right. Our biggest concerns last year was that
- 15:16Speaker 1: when you had ted rufranning it too much, it didn't
- 15:19Speaker 1: feel right. Zach Alli called the whole game, and it
- 15:22Speaker 1: looked like it the way he had things set up,
- 15:25Speaker 1: My goodness, it was wah. The linebacker is the most
- 15:30Speaker 1: important position in the Brent Venables defense, and it appears
- 15:33Speaker 1: that we have it exactly how we need it, going
- 15:37Speaker 1: from Stutz to Kobe to Kip to Mechanick right to
- 15:43Speaker 1: Carter to olmost Sego, Chetah, Kendall, Doby, that entire setup
- 15:51Speaker 1: and we still ain't seen the sign McCully yet. Cool.
- 15:55Speaker 1: When I'm watching this, this is the one thing I
- 15:59Speaker 1: want to point out first. The leadership in that linebacker
- 16:04Speaker 1: room is unreal. And I say that in the best
- 16:09Speaker 1: way because when I watched Kobe McKinsey getting that game
- 16:14Speaker 1: and he started smacking de John Terry on the ass
- 16:17Speaker 1: or Grayson Holld on the ass to move to this gap,
- 16:20Speaker 1: to move to that gap, they understood the scheme. That
- 16:25Speaker 1: changes a lot of things for us going forward, because
- 16:30Speaker 1: now you have not one, not two, not three, but
- 16:34Speaker 1: at least four dudes that can command how everybody is
- 16:39Speaker 1: supposed to act on defense. How'd you feel about that
- 16:41Speaker 1: linebacker room?
- 16:44Speaker 3: So you're you got it right?
- 16:45Speaker 2: How many how many months ago were we having conversations
- 16:49Speaker 2: about Danny being out there and you know, kind of
- 16:53Speaker 2: making jokes about BV wanted him to be two inches
- 16:56Speaker 2: to the side and that wasn't you know, he didn't
- 17:00Speaker 2: understand that. To now you got those four guys that
- 17:04Speaker 2: have been not only a problem from a from the
- 17:08Speaker 2: running game perspective, but they know they know the system
- 17:13Speaker 2: and that starts with Danny.
- 17:14Speaker 3: I mean, it absolutely starts with Danny. Guys.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Danny is quickly with everything he does on the field,
- 17:20Speaker 2: the stuff that now he's doing off the field, he's
- 17:23Speaker 2: quickly you know, putting himself up there with a you know,
- 17:26Speaker 2: an all time Sooner favorite. I think Baker still right
- 17:29Speaker 2: now is the is the reigning champ for you know,
- 17:31Speaker 2: this current iteration of Sooner football. But Danny, I don't
- 17:35Speaker 2: think you can overtake Baker. I think that you get
- 17:37Speaker 2: in there and he is going to be a guy
- 17:39Speaker 2: that anytime that you see Danny up on the board
- 17:41Speaker 2: this season and seasons after, everybody is going to lose it.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Everybody is going to be one hundred percent full volume
- 17:48Speaker 2: in sharing for Danny Stutsman. But then you know he's
- 17:51Speaker 2: got his buddies next to him. Kip Lewis Kip, Kip was.
- 17:56Speaker 3: Everywhere, I mean absolutely everywhere.
- 17:58Speaker 2: You saw him in pass coverage, you saw him backing
- 18:00Speaker 2: out to the flats. And then Kobe Kobe. I didn't
- 18:04Speaker 2: know if I was expecting Kobe to be that level yet,
- 18:07Speaker 2: and I heard that Lewis Carter was going to be
- 18:09Speaker 2: a problem. So I mean, Jay this, I mean, that's
- 18:14Speaker 2: with those guys being able to do some of the
- 18:16Speaker 2: things that they're doing, that front unit didn't give a
- 18:22Speaker 2: lot of work to be had by the defense backs.
- 18:26Speaker 2: And that is I mean again, they played in a box.
- 18:29Speaker 2: You know, this whole game was pretty much played in
- 18:31Speaker 2: a box after the first drive of the of the game.
- 18:34Speaker 2: But the linebackers cooked. They did exactly what they were
- 18:37Speaker 2: supposed to do. You know, I did see a couple
- 18:39Speaker 2: of places to where there were coachable moments, which is
- 18:41Speaker 2: you're going to have you're going to have coachable moments,
- 18:44Speaker 2: and but he was in past coverage and you know,
- 18:46Speaker 2: proper sinking and I kind of brought that up to you.
- 18:48Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean you guys, Crimson, Missile, Lewis Carter
- 18:53Speaker 2: and then you know, everybody, let's just take a second
- 18:56Speaker 2: and you know, be excited about even Jeron Kannick on
- 19:00Speaker 2: that block punt or I guess the the fumble on
- 19:02Speaker 2: the punt return. That made me very happy, not because
- 19:06Speaker 2: it put us over the spread, but because he got
- 19:09Speaker 2: his chance to, you know, to be rewarded with some
- 19:13Speaker 2: of that hard work on the special teams and so
- 19:15Speaker 2: man just an absolute great day for all the linebackers.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Yeah, the room looked really good. I liked how Stutsman
- 19:21Speaker 1: was was you could tell he was he could easily
- 19:24Speaker 1: tell people where to go, and he was he didn't
- 19:26Speaker 1: have as many concerns around. You didn't see very many
- 19:29Speaker 1: fire drills. I was listening to the Olkhoma breakdown earlier
- 19:32Speaker 1: this morning when I went to the gym, and that
- 19:34Speaker 1: was something that Teddy and Teddy really pointed out, was
- 19:36Speaker 1: you didn't see a bunch of fire drills on the
- 19:38Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, and that was the one
- 19:39Speaker 1: thing I noticed the most was it wasn't a bunch
- 19:42Speaker 1: of frantic running around. There were shifts, there were movements.
- 19:45Speaker 1: The only time you saw somebody run is when a
- 19:47Speaker 1: dude win in motion right, and you can see that
- 19:50Speaker 1: at that point we were running man, so of course
- 19:52Speaker 1: he needs to run with the wide receiver to make
- 19:54Speaker 1: sure he stops him. But when you started getting to
- 19:56Speaker 1: some zone stuff, which I liked. There was the one
- 19:59Speaker 1: play when G Baby got his sack. You had a
- 20:04Speaker 1: couple of linebackers go in the middle and you had
- 20:06Speaker 1: trace Ford go out to the flat, and as soon
- 20:08Speaker 1: as four when the flat, G Baby went around that
- 20:11Speaker 1: tackle and the quarterbacks saw the linebackers to his left,
- 20:16Speaker 1: tried to move to his right, and G Baby was
- 20:19Speaker 1: right there in his throat, right there playing complimentary ball
- 20:22Speaker 1: like that. Fantastic master work by Zach Ally. And the
- 20:26Speaker 1: best part is I didn't see a single exotic type blitz.
- 20:33Speaker 1: It was just right in your face. The only person
- 20:37Speaker 1: there was two struggles I noticed in the game that
- 20:39Speaker 1: kind of jumped out to me was was with Lewis
- 20:41Speaker 1: Carter and Samuel Mosigo. So with Lewis Carter, that deep catch.
- 20:46Speaker 1: We talked about this not too long ago in the
- 20:47Speaker 1: green room in PG. You could tell that Lewis was
- 20:52Speaker 1: thinking about trying to cover the inside and he almost
- 20:57Speaker 1: basically bumped into stuts but I don't know if they touched,
- 20:59Speaker 1: but he he basically ran in kind of across him.
- 21:02Speaker 1: He should have backed up because the guy they went
- 21:05Speaker 1: to the flat was his man. He could have got there.
- 21:07Speaker 1: He kind of either knocked it down, he could have
- 21:09Speaker 1: picked it, or he would have tackled the dude in
- 21:10Speaker 1: the air and he would have dropped the pass right.
- 21:12Speaker 1: So there was that, and there was another play with
- 21:14Speaker 1: Lewis where it looked like he over pursued, he at
- 21:17Speaker 1: the wrong angle. Same thing with Sammy. I noticed that
- 21:20Speaker 1: when he was out there, there was a couple of
- 21:22Speaker 1: plays where he would under pursue or well he took
- 21:24Speaker 1: the wrong angle, and that ended up exposing him to
- 21:29Speaker 1: giving up, you know, four more yards that we shouldn't
- 21:31Speaker 1: have given up. So totally totally fixable things, things that
- 21:35Speaker 1: are really good to have on film, especially playing a
- 21:39Speaker 1: team like Temple Right, it's not a game where and
- 21:44Speaker 1: I asked this question at the beginning of the show.
- 21:47Speaker 1: On purpose, I wanted to know at what moment did
- 21:49Speaker 1: y'all really think that we weren't going to win this
- 21:51Speaker 1: game by three touchdowns? Right? Or four touchdowns or five touchdowns?
- 21:55Speaker 1: I knew that we were gonna win this game by
- 21:56Speaker 1: five touchdowns minimum, and we covered the spread, which was
- 21:59Speaker 1: forty two and a half. It wasn't a situation to
- 22:02Speaker 1: be concerned. So let's talk about the DBS. Thank y'all
- 22:06Speaker 1: for pulling up. Hit the like button. If you're new
- 22:10Speaker 1: to the channel, subscribe, wipe your feet when you enter
- 22:13Speaker 1: our crib, Coop. I see why Phil still says we
- 22:20Speaker 1: have the best secondary room in the country. I get
- 22:27Speaker 1: it now. Shout out to Midland sooner. We met Midland sooner.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Thanks for the ten bucks. Yep, got an emoji that
- 22:34Speaker 1: you put on here every yet waving at us. Thank
- 22:36Speaker 1: you for that we got. We met Midland and took
- 22:39Speaker 1: a picture while we were there at the field. Great time.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Y'all warmed our heart with all that love that you
- 22:44Speaker 1: gave us. Put that dB room, Coop. My goodness, I
- 22:49Speaker 1: think we think we have something special. What how did
- 22:53Speaker 1: you feel about that? We'll we'll lump Kendall Dobe into
- 22:56Speaker 1: this group now with the Cheetah row he did. How'd
- 22:58Speaker 1: you feel about it?
- 23:00Speaker 2: I mean, I think that you were excited about a
- 23:03Speaker 2: lot of the guys on the you know, in the
- 23:04Speaker 2: front seven. But I still think Kendall Dolby was probably
- 23:07Speaker 2: the most dynamic player on the field, probably my defensive
- 23:10Speaker 2: MVP for the game. Dude just looked different when he
- 23:14Speaker 2: was blitzing, and he was the only one really allowed
- 23:17Speaker 2: to blitz throughout the game, and most of the time
- 23:19Speaker 2: that's because he had nobody to cover, so might as
- 23:22Speaker 2: well get up there and.
- 23:23Speaker 3: Get you some.
- 23:25Speaker 2: He uh, he looked, He looked terrific. Here's what I
- 23:28Speaker 2: could say, Jay, is the two corners. You know, we
- 23:33Speaker 2: we sat Woodye and Gentry came in and kind of
- 23:35Speaker 2: played a little sparingly, but I think he had sixteen.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Total snaps from PFF.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and they were they were just running clock
- 23:44Speaker 2: at that point, so he didn't have to do much
- 23:46Speaker 2: of anything, which is which is great, but lets him
- 23:48Speaker 2: get out and move around a little bit. But between
- 23:52Speaker 2: Keni Walker and des Malone, those are two big guys.
- 23:55Speaker 2: That's six one and six two. Those guys are massive.
- 23:57Speaker 2: They looked massive. You know, I just you know, des
- 24:02Speaker 2: got himself was a Desert CANi that got the pick
- 24:05Speaker 2: off of that. Yeah, because he was they were let's
- 24:10Speaker 2: see here, Dez was on our side of the field.
- 24:12Speaker 2: But yep, it just it cracked me up. I say
- 24:16Speaker 2: that the play the game is definitely the pick were
- 24:18Speaker 2: cold a Dolby messed it and he you know, he
- 24:21Speaker 2: basically ripped the ball out of the receiver's hands and
- 24:24Speaker 2: can I grabs it and heads back. You know, we've
- 24:27Speaker 2: kind of taken shot, you know, friendly banter shots back
- 24:30Speaker 2: and forth with Canai already, and man just really just
- 24:34Speaker 2: didn't have to see much from them out there on
- 24:38Speaker 2: the boundary. They kept everything out in front of him, uh,
- 24:41Speaker 2: out in front of themselves. They never had an opportunity
- 24:44Speaker 2: to go uh to go deep. And so man, I'm
- 24:49Speaker 2: I'm pretty excited. I'm pretty excited about that room. Uh.
- 24:52Speaker 2: When they were called upon, they did their job. There
- 24:55Speaker 2: were no oops, you know with the you know, guys
- 24:58Speaker 2: running wide opened there were a couple sets that guys
- 25:02Speaker 2: were in between zones and getting passed off and the
- 25:04Speaker 2: quarterback didn't have any time. But yeah, you gotta give
- 25:08Speaker 2: you gotta give kudos and more and more props out
- 25:10Speaker 2: to the dB side.
- 25:12Speaker 1: I liked how Kendall a Dobe walked out there, And
- 25:15Speaker 1: my favorite part about his game was the way that
- 25:18Speaker 1: he blitzes, because when he gets out there in his set,
- 25:22Speaker 1: this is what was fascinating. He'd go to the set,
- 25:24Speaker 1: he'd basically come up to the line, he'd back up,
- 25:28Speaker 1: he'd move forward, he'd back up, And I'm pointing that
- 25:31Speaker 1: out because he made it to where that quarterback was
- 25:34Speaker 1: afraid he was gonna blitz him like he got his sack,
- 25:37Speaker 1: which we all know. Kendall Katie came on the show
- 25:40Speaker 1: earlier this year and told us that he preferred sacks
- 25:42Speaker 1: over interceptions. You know, he pitched that fit when he
- 25:46Speaker 1: knocked the ball down, so I think he thought that
- 25:48Speaker 1: they caught it right. I think he was freaking out
- 25:50Speaker 1: about that, but he just completely went ballistic. So glad
- 25:54Speaker 1: that played didn't end up that way. I'm glad we
- 25:56Speaker 1: got the pick, But he had that quarterback. He hit
- 26:01Speaker 1: him spook. He had him shook, and we all know
- 26:03Speaker 1: ain't no such thing as halfway crooks. He had that
- 26:06Speaker 1: dude terrified every time he came close to the line
- 26:09Speaker 1: because he's like, oh shit, he's about to blitter on
- 26:11Speaker 1: my left Side's gonna blitter my left side? And then
- 26:13Speaker 1: he back up into coverage or did he come in,
- 26:15Speaker 1: And it was a masterclass of how you can disguise
- 26:19Speaker 1: the way you're gonna blitz that. I want an Oma Sego,
- 26:22Speaker 1: who's gonna also play Cheetah, to also recognize. I need
- 26:25Speaker 1: you to. I want him to learn that skill set.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Dobe had that dude in a blender, and then, of course,
- 26:32Speaker 1: like you mentioned, Gentry got the little play a little bit.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Desi Malone looked good. He looked big, He looked like
- 26:37Speaker 1: a ginormous human being. He had the size and everything.
- 26:40Speaker 1: If I was to be critical anywhere in this secondary,
- 26:45Speaker 1: it's gonna be probably Jacobe Johnson.
- 26:51Speaker 3: Right.
- 26:52Speaker 1: He looked young. He made a couple of decisions where
- 26:56Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, you probably shouldn't You shouldn't have over
- 27:03Speaker 1: pursued there or something. In the coverage. You noticed a
- 27:08Speaker 1: few situations where he looked a little bit out of place,
- 27:13Speaker 1: But that was the youth part, right, And that kind
- 27:15Speaker 1: of even goes to what everybody has said in here.
- 27:20Speaker 3: Right.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Venables mentioned in his presser, you want to play more young.
- 27:24Speaker 1: He wanted to play more young players last year he
- 27:26Speaker 1: recognized he should have. Yeah, you play those young players.
- 27:30Speaker 4: What happens, Coop, They make mistakes because they're young, right,
- 27:34Speaker 4: They're getting experience, but they're gonna make mistakes because they're young, right, Exactly,
- 27:39Speaker 4: It's bound to happen, and so giving them that grace.
- 27:43Speaker 1: And I'm gonna talk about that grace a lot more
- 27:46Speaker 1: when we talk about the offensive line and the offense
- 27:48Speaker 1: in general in a minute. But the good thing about
- 27:51Speaker 1: that secondary is you mean Hardy getting his pick. Shout
- 27:54Speaker 1: out to him. He got an interception his first time
- 27:56Speaker 1: in high school playing football. He's also got an interception
- 27:59Speaker 1: his first time in college football, so he's kind of
- 28:01Speaker 1: kept his streak alive. Now he needs to do that
- 28:03Speaker 1: the NFL first start. Gotta get an interception in order
- 28:06Speaker 1: to keep that going, and then we can give him
- 28:09Speaker 1: mad props. But no, he he did. They did do
- 28:15Speaker 1: a job overall in the secondary being where they were
- 28:18Speaker 1: supposed to be, except for the young guys kind of
- 28:20Speaker 1: getting missed up secondary. With the size Kanai plays at
- 28:27Speaker 1: his size, Dad's plays at his side, We're gonna be
- 28:30Speaker 1: really hard to throw on this season and I say
- 28:35Speaker 1: that because I know that Sooner Cowboy has been pointing
- 28:38Speaker 1: in here about all the other teams and how they
- 28:40Speaker 1: performed in their games, as if all of us didn't
- 28:42Speaker 1: just cover our spread. Right, we all covered our spread.
- 28:45Speaker 1: But Auburns got Cam Coleman, the young freshman, Alabama's got
- 28:48Speaker 1: Ryan Williams, the freshman who's seventeen years old. Right, A
- 28:52Speaker 1: lot of these teams got these young players at wide receiver.
- 28:54Speaker 1: We're gonna have to be able to account for. And
- 28:57Speaker 1: the good thing is from d line edges to linebackers
- 29:01Speaker 1: to secondary. I think we have the defense forward. How
- 29:04Speaker 1: do you feel about the defense as a whole going
- 29:07Speaker 1: into this season?
- 29:08Speaker 2: Now you see guys taking steps forward. And I didn't
- 29:12Speaker 2: say anything about the safeties. Peyton Bowen really didn't have
- 29:14Speaker 2: much of a job to do. We saw Billy ball
- 29:17Speaker 2: out and r s J.
- 29:19Speaker 3: Man.
- 29:19Speaker 2: I wish I had more time just to talk about
- 29:21Speaker 2: him because dude, dude looks different this year. So man,
- 29:25Speaker 2: I fully believe that again, defense has the task in
- 29:30Speaker 2: front of them. What did you do with that task? Well,
- 29:34Speaker 2: you did everything you were supposed to and playing straight up,
- 29:38Speaker 2: playing vanilla, you did not have you didn't see much.
- 29:42Speaker 2: You know, there's no shenanigains at all. So man, the
- 29:46Speaker 2: final thought on the defense is just that this guy,
- 29:50Speaker 2: this this this unit, it is what we've been talking about.
- 29:53Speaker 2: You you heard about it in the in the in
- 29:55Speaker 2: the fall camp. You've seen, you know, all these accolades
- 29:59Speaker 2: starting to come through. If ou gets good, you know props.
- 30:02Speaker 2: It has been because of the rumors around the defense,
- 30:05Speaker 2: and so, you know, to quote a movie, you know,
- 30:08Speaker 2: it's relieving to hear that the rumors and the gossips
- 30:12Speaker 2: are true. This defense is legit, and we are going
- 30:15Speaker 2: to get a chance to see them probably do pretty
- 30:18Speaker 2: much more the same thing here this next week too.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Because our boys Houston, they looked a little rough, and
- 30:25Speaker 2: but you know you're going to get out and with
- 30:26Speaker 2: eighty four total players played across everything, you got to
- 30:29Speaker 2: see some pups and you also got to see you know,
- 30:32Speaker 2: there's a couple guys that were held out that could
- 30:34Speaker 2: have gone and played. Eli Bowen was held out, Woody
- 30:37Speaker 2: Washington held out. Expect to see those guys coming back
- 30:41Speaker 2: in here and getting some snaps next week.
- 30:43Speaker 1: That's the good thing is that we know that those
- 30:45Speaker 1: players will be back next week and Houston. The spread
- 30:49Speaker 1: is already out the initial spread for this game, yall
- 30:52Speaker 1: ready for this twenty seven and a half. We are
- 30:57Speaker 1: twenty seven and a half point favorites in this game.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Kind of expected. That's pretty good. I think it's gonna
- 31:05Speaker 1: go up as the week goes on, as we prepare
- 31:07Speaker 1: for this game. So thank you for pulling up. Let's
- 31:09Speaker 1: get to y'all's questions here. On the defensive side of
- 31:11Speaker 1: the ball, we've had some. Of course, there's a lot
- 31:13Speaker 1: of O line questions in here. I totally get. We'll
- 31:15Speaker 1: get to those because we're gonna talk about that. On
- 31:17Speaker 1: the other side, Duck, what to do? We ask what
- 31:22Speaker 1: do you think of Jade Jackson's play? Cool?
- 31:29Speaker 2: It was beautiful, I like, you know, we got to
- 31:31Speaker 2: see some highlights. I got to see you know, you
- 31:35Speaker 2: saw Jayden a couple of times, uh work on the
- 31:37Speaker 2: swim move that we saw during the spring game scrimmage. Yep,
- 31:41Speaker 2: it was, I mean it was. It was pretty fun
- 31:43Speaker 2: to watch. So yeah, I mean to see the new
- 31:47Speaker 2: guys like Boganowski, you know, Hardy Powers, jj uh Stone
- 31:53Speaker 2: getting in there. You know, Stone was very very emotional.
- 31:56Speaker 2: But Jayden Jackson, I mean we heard a lot of
- 31:59Speaker 2: a lot of praise, and he he showed out and
- 32:02Speaker 2: he did exactly what he was supposed to yep.
- 32:04Speaker 1: And even mentioning the young guys in the secondary with
- 32:07Speaker 1: Boganowski getting his first crack shot of the season, that
- 32:10Speaker 1: everybody's shaking their head like wooh. The audible oos and
- 32:15Speaker 1: and shookness was amazing, right, and everyone was crazy everybody
- 32:20Speaker 1: on top of that. Hey man, RP three, y'all know,
- 32:24Speaker 1: I praise RP three not only because his pops be
- 32:26Speaker 1: pulling up on a regular basis, but because I told
- 32:28Speaker 1: you I think he's gonna be a dude. He was
- 32:30Speaker 1: looking really good at Cheetah and his blitzing. If he
- 32:34Speaker 1: can get it down like Dobe does, he's gonna get
- 32:37Speaker 1: sacks out the wazoo and force strip sacks all the time.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Because he was right in there and he was causing issues.
- 32:46Speaker 1: He was helping create sacks because he would get wide
- 32:49Speaker 1: enough on that outside to where the quarterback would tuck
- 32:52Speaker 1: in and go in and the next thing, you know,
- 32:54Speaker 1: by somebody levels but shout out to that great question there, duck,
- 32:58Speaker 1: we appreciate it. Only Kuno, our boy Sean pulled up appreciated.
- 33:02Speaker 1: We should force six turnovers every game? Why doesn't every
- 33:06Speaker 1: team do that? Hey, man, I've been oneing the same thing, doll.
- 33:10Speaker 1: I've been telling teams we do that. I guess they
- 33:13Speaker 1: decided to follow suit man, Coop, did you call somebody
- 33:16Speaker 1: on this one?
- 33:19Speaker 2: This reminds me the Happy Gilmore quote when he makes
- 33:22Speaker 2: the hole in one. He's like, man, why do not
- 33:24Speaker 2: I just try to do that every single play? And
- 33:25Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, but the turnovers are are going to
- 33:32Speaker 2: this does a lot number one. You now start looking
- 33:36Speaker 2: at more conservative play. If you become a team with
- 33:40Speaker 2: a reputation that you gotta be careful because these guys
- 33:45Speaker 2: are going for the ball, then instead of running freely,
- 33:47Speaker 2: you're more concerned about holding onto the ball, uh, not
- 33:50Speaker 2: wanting to throw the ball in certain areas. That makes
- 33:53Speaker 2: you question and double take, and you know, make slower
- 33:57Speaker 2: decisions on how you throw the ball. But no, I
- 34:03Speaker 2: I'd say this is there's a lot of guys who
- 34:05Speaker 2: are gonna start getting reputations.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Boganowski is one of those guys.
- 34:08Speaker 2: And you know, you make business decisions when Boganowski's in
- 34:12Speaker 2: the game, and people are gonna know that number and
- 34:15Speaker 2: they're going to be terrified of him, and so it's uh,
- 34:20Speaker 2: I think I think six is I mean, that's we're
- 34:22Speaker 2: number one in the country in turnover margin right now,
- 34:26Speaker 2: not that CC the country.
- 34:28Speaker 1: The country number one. We're number one on that one
- 34:31Speaker 1: right night, right, And that's the one thing I like.
- 34:34Speaker 1: So we had a couple of questions in here that
- 34:35Speaker 1: I thought was interesting. Duck with a great point, Zach
- 34:39Speaker 1: Golly got that game ball baby that tells you everything
- 34:41Speaker 1: you need to know. Right, Let's look, I got a
- 34:44Speaker 1: couple more before we jump into the next topic. On
- 34:46Speaker 1: the defensive side, we had we had a Jenna and
- 34:50Speaker 1: uh Zius b Lou asking a couple of questions. We'll
- 34:53Speaker 1: get to that in just a minute. So the legends
- 34:55Speaker 1: it was good. Mike, he asked the question when will
- 34:57Speaker 1: we see the son mccula so well, last I remember
- 35:01Speaker 1: hearing BV talk about is that he's just kind of
- 35:04Speaker 1: a day to day situation. So I'm gonna be honest,
- 35:08Speaker 1: I since will probably see him Tulane, I don't think
- 35:14Speaker 1: we see him next week. I think I don't think
- 35:17Speaker 1: you really have a reason for him to play. Then
- 35:19Speaker 1: I think Tulane will be a better game to try
- 35:21Speaker 1: to figure out if you really when you're gonna really
- 35:26Speaker 1: need to see him.
- 35:27Speaker 3: There and it's a it's a toe, and so he is.
- 35:33Speaker 3: He was still in the boot.
- 35:34Speaker 2: He there were no plans on him, and I've been
- 35:36Speaker 2: answering in the chat mikel Patterson McDonald. We were hanging
- 35:39Speaker 2: out with his dad before the game. He was held out.
- 35:43Speaker 2: Isaiah Autry was held out because of injury. You know,
- 35:48Speaker 2: you saw Nick six was down on the sideline. He
- 35:50Speaker 2: was never never dressed out. So, yeah, there's a lot
- 35:55Speaker 2: of guys who are going to be guys who are
- 35:57Speaker 2: going to see some time. I didn't see Jayden Row
- 36:00Speaker 2: and I don't know if that's injury or just not
- 36:02Speaker 2: rotation because Devon Jordan got some time in. I saw
- 36:07Speaker 2: some of the walk Ons get some time in at
- 36:08Speaker 2: the end. But yeah, I think that if mccola is ready,
- 36:12Speaker 2: you want to have him go for Tulane. If he's not,
- 36:15Speaker 2: you I mean it shows right now that there you've
- 36:19Speaker 2: got your your bases covered. And I don't think that
- 36:21Speaker 2: you're going to see him until he is actually ready exactly.
- 36:25Speaker 1: And So to answer all the questions around did these
- 36:27Speaker 1: players play, yes, Michael Patterson McDonald did not play. I
- 36:30Speaker 1: think he's out anyway. We saw Jeremiah Nukom Devon Jordan.
- 36:35Speaker 1: They both got six snaps. I'm looking at a PFF's number.
- 36:38Speaker 3: Now.
- 36:39Speaker 1: You did see Reggie Powers as well as Boglanowski. Both
- 36:42Speaker 1: of them got fourteen. Actually Reggie Powers got six. Hardy
- 36:47Speaker 1: and Boglanowski got fourteen snaps. You did see some James Nesta,
- 36:51Speaker 1: so he got some burn out there. You did see
- 36:54Speaker 1: a little bit of a Koye. I think he got
- 36:56Speaker 1: like two snaps at the end of the game. They
- 36:59Speaker 1: kind of want to save him as a secret weapon
- 37:00Speaker 1: going in. But you did see somebody young corners go
- 37:02Speaker 1: out there. Uh. Gunny of the Stuts Army asked a
- 37:06Speaker 1: good one. What was the biggest surprise on defense under
- 37:08Speaker 1: the Friday night lights?
- 37:09Speaker 2: Coop, I'm I'm going to go with the command of
- 37:15Speaker 2: the linebackers, and that's as the unit, not just as Danny.
- 37:21Speaker 2: You saw total commands. I mean we already brought that
- 37:23Speaker 2: up that you know, Kobe was doing great stuff.
- 37:26Speaker 3: You saw you saw it.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Just every single one of those linebackers was out there
- 37:31Speaker 2: and they were they were doing some that they were
- 37:32Speaker 2: doing great things. And so you've got four linebackers that
- 37:35Speaker 2: you can absolutely trust. And I think that's the biggest
- 37:39Speaker 2: difference because having the you know what type of depth
- 37:43Speaker 2: is going to be what you're gonna need because it's
- 37:45Speaker 2: going to keep you fresh. You're gonna be rotating guys
- 37:47Speaker 2: in and out. You saw a little bit with the uh, the.
- 37:50Speaker 3: Notre Dame A and M game.
- 37:51Speaker 2: They were, you know, rotating guys in and out a
- 37:53Speaker 2: significant amount. And so you you know, this is a
- 37:56Speaker 2: long season and so we're going to see guys moving
- 37:59Speaker 2: in and out.
- 38:00Speaker 1: We will. And why Gilmour did play as well. He
- 38:06Speaker 1: got like a couple of snaps too, So you got
- 38:08Speaker 1: you got a lot of I mean, Ace Hodges got
- 38:10Speaker 1: some snaps, right, he got three good teaches. You saw
- 38:13Speaker 1: a lot of young players really get out there. Taylor
- 38:15Speaker 1: Wine got out there. He's a lot bigger than I
- 38:16Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be.
- 38:17Speaker 2: So he had the double punch penalties, thirty thirty yards
- 38:22Speaker 2: worth of penalties.
- 38:23Speaker 1: So yeah, he's the one at all of the tenderties, right.
- 38:26Speaker 1: I was cracking out about that pretty good. My biggest surprise,
- 38:29Speaker 1: honestly was how effective the defensive tackles were, Like I
- 38:33Speaker 1: didn't know. I knew that they were gonna be good,
- 38:35Speaker 1: I didn't realize that they were gonna be that disruptive.
- 38:38Speaker 1: That to me was the biggest surprise. I had high
- 38:40Speaker 1: expectations for lining back in secondary. They exceeded them. Even
- 38:43Speaker 1: though I had very high expectations. They were very much
- 38:45Speaker 1: on things. I thought the defensive tackles were gonna be good,
- 38:51Speaker 1: and I thought the edges were gonna be able to
- 38:52Speaker 1: take over more. But it looked like the edges were
- 38:55Speaker 1: causing disruption and the defensive tackles to where they were
- 38:58Speaker 1: just kind of switching out. Who was going to go
- 38:59Speaker 1: in there and beat up on the quarterback. You got
- 39:01Speaker 1: a lot of hits in that game, let's just put
- 39:02Speaker 1: it that way. I think we finished with they gave
- 39:06Speaker 1: us four hits. We got like thirteen hurries, so we
- 39:09Speaker 1: were in his face and finished the game with six
- 39:13Speaker 1: total sacks. So you can't beat that, all right, They
- 39:16Speaker 1: are pulling up, hit the like button, new to the channel, subscribe,
- 39:20Speaker 1: rate review, all of that. Jazz Coop's time to go
- 39:22Speaker 1: ahead and go into the side of the ball where
- 39:24Speaker 1: we had the most concerns, most questions, most things that
- 39:27Speaker 1: and I've put it this way. We had these same
- 39:29Speaker 1: questions before the season started, and I think that half
- 39:32Speaker 1: of them got answered. We still have some without answers. Coop,
- 39:36Speaker 1: let's talk about the offensive line. All of y'all have
- 39:40Speaker 1: already jumped in here with your statements. I know everybody's
- 39:44Speaker 1: mad concern questions, whatever you want to say. I'm still
- 39:48Speaker 1: on this train, baby, I still trust in beating Bow
- 39:51Speaker 1: and I say that for this reason. The biggest question
- 39:58Speaker 1: that we had with the offensive line was can they
- 40:04Speaker 1: gel together quickly? And in this game, we did not
- 40:12Speaker 1: get the jailing as quickly as we would have liked.
- 40:17Speaker 1: So we needed Bill beat and Bow to start shifting
- 40:21Speaker 1: things around. And this is where I had frustrations from
- 40:26Speaker 1: this game. I talked about it in my morning after
- 40:29Speaker 1: me and Coop was talking about it during the game.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Had a couple of things we were chit chatting about
- 40:32Speaker 1: it with. We played an entirely scripted offense. You could
- 40:41Speaker 1: tell it was an entirely scripted offense for two things. One,
- 40:45Speaker 1: we threw the ball deep four times total, three of
- 40:48Speaker 1: them counted. One of them was the pass and was
- 40:51Speaker 1: the offsides, and so we threw it to carry on deep.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Just you know for hits and giggles. We purposely put
- 40:59Speaker 1: ourselves in situations, and I feel like we did that
- 41:02Speaker 1: to test things out. Now, converting on third down was
- 41:07Speaker 1: boom boom. We was bad. Two pack of a full.
- 41:13Speaker 1: You only convert one third down conversion three for three
- 41:15Speaker 1: on four we only convert one time on third down. Now,
- 41:19Speaker 1: we didn't have very many, I mean, we had twelve
- 41:21Speaker 1: third downs, but we mainly just got it all on
- 41:24Speaker 1: first and second down. We kept getting first and that's
- 41:26Speaker 1: how we kept scoring just about every possession. But you
- 41:30Speaker 1: could tell that the goal here wasn't to just burn
- 41:35Speaker 1: people deep with plays. It was getting the offensive line
- 41:38Speaker 1: running certain stuff. And you noticed Gabe mentioned this on
- 41:42Speaker 1: their show that most of the runs were to the
- 41:44Speaker 1: weak side. We didn't really run the ball towards like
- 41:48Speaker 1: the tight end side, which we will talk about tight
- 41:51Speaker 1: ends in a bit. Coop. I get everybody's angst with
- 41:55Speaker 1: our guy on the right side, Missus Spencer Brown, but
- 41:58Speaker 1: I also need you to remember Jake Taylor didn't play
- 42:01Speaker 1: Troy Everett, didn't play Les Hickman, and Hatchet is still
- 42:06Speaker 1: a little banged up on the left side and left arm.
- 42:12Speaker 1: As much as I would like to panic. We're gonna
- 42:15Speaker 1: get some of those folks back next game. We get
- 42:18Speaker 1: Taylor back next game, so Brown won't be starting, right,
- 42:21Speaker 1: But your young players played and they looked very encouraging.
- 42:25Speaker 1: How did you feel about the offensive line overall?
- 42:31Speaker 2: So my theory on this, and this is my theory.
- 42:36Speaker 2: So we know that players folks watch us, and we
- 42:42Speaker 2: know that the coaching staff watches and it goes through
- 42:45Speaker 2: some of our stuff.
- 42:47Speaker 3: So I say that to say this is I felt like.
- 42:54Speaker 2: We were playing the game in a twenty five thirty
- 42:57Speaker 2: yard box and everything was right in there, and it
- 43:01Speaker 2: was what can Jackson do in those tight quarters? Can
- 43:05Speaker 2: he make the right decision? Can he do good things
- 43:08Speaker 2: in that? When you saw the offensive line play, yeah,
- 43:13Speaker 2: it's you know, first first series of the game. And
- 43:16Speaker 2: I tweeted it out, caution all fan bases on overreacting
- 43:20Speaker 2: after the first play a series of your team's season.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Do not lose it, because we did pretty much what
- 43:27Speaker 2: we wanted. Went down the field, we scored a touchdown,
- 43:31Speaker 2: had the bomb of Faruk. You know, it looked great.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Burk's you know, Burk's looked good running around doing some
- 43:39Speaker 2: of the jets sweet stuff. But we were talking throughout
- 43:42Speaker 2: the game that it just looked like that the offensive
- 43:45Speaker 2: line was just standing guys up. It didn't look like
- 43:49Speaker 2: they were driving. Now, if that's by design, I don't know.
- 43:55Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about that, because I
- 43:58Speaker 2: think that with this new team, you need to have
- 44:00Speaker 2: that as a let's go out and get some guys
- 44:03Speaker 2: some success. If that was not by design, and if
- 44:07Speaker 2: it was just those guys just having issues, you know,
- 44:10Speaker 2: blowing folks off the ball, it seemed like the offensive
- 44:13Speaker 2: line when they really wanted to do something and when
- 44:15Speaker 2: they really wanted to grind it out, like I said
- 44:16Speaker 2: with us fourth downs, they wanted to you know, they
- 44:19Speaker 2: get it.
- 44:19Speaker 3: They got it. It was good.
- 44:22Speaker 2: But I also think that the offensive line is going
- 44:25Speaker 2: to have issues. And what I hate about this is
- 44:27Speaker 2: guys like Spencer Brown are going to need to play
- 44:30Speaker 2: at some point this season.
- 44:32Speaker 3: He has to get better.
- 44:34Speaker 2: He is a guy who has played twenty four games
- 44:37Speaker 2: in the Big Ten. Now, there's mixed reviews about that
- 44:40Speaker 2: time in the Big Ten, and it was on a
- 44:41Speaker 2: crappy team, but I don't think Bill Beenbow went out
- 44:45Speaker 2: and was like I'm gonna take this guy or Michael Tarquin,
- 44:48Speaker 2: but he is crap like, that's not what he was doing.
- 44:52Speaker 3: He sees something in them. There is something to him.
- 44:55Speaker 2: So I just say this with the offensive line, let's
- 44:58Speaker 2: let's hang out. Let's hang out, and let's wait and
- 45:03Speaker 2: let's see. Let's see what happens when Let's see what
- 45:06Speaker 2: happens when the you know, you get Jake Taylor back.
- 45:11Speaker 2: I think that, you know, I've heard a little something
- 45:13Speaker 2: on o Zeida. I think we're going to see a
- 45:17Speaker 2: little bit more than of him this next week. But
- 45:21Speaker 2: you know, second second drive of the season, you know,
- 45:25Speaker 2: Hickman goes down. It's it's an ankle sprain, depending on
- 45:29Speaker 2: how severe and you know how hot that hankle sprain is.
- 45:31Speaker 2: You know, that could be a couple of weeks, or
- 45:33Speaker 2: it could be he could be ready to.
- 45:34Speaker 3: Go next week. I would like to see them.
- 45:37Speaker 2: I don't think it's going I don't think we're gonna
- 45:38Speaker 2: run for three hundred and fifty yards next week. You know,
- 45:41Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to go like just completely
- 45:43Speaker 2: black and white. But we do have other options to
- 45:46Speaker 2: help out the offensive line. But these three games are
- 45:51Speaker 2: the perfect games for us to be able to get
- 45:54Speaker 2: things right. And to come together, because I promise you
- 45:57Speaker 2: there's some dogs waiting to come and see us September
- 46:00Speaker 2: twenty first, and we got to have some stuff, you know,
- 46:02Speaker 2: ready to go by that time.
- 46:04Speaker 1: So my theory behind some of the decisions that Bill
- 46:07Speaker 1: beating Bow made and this, and I'm gonna tell you
- 46:12Speaker 1: this straight up. This isn't like hopium. This wasn't me
- 46:19Speaker 1: me trying to sunshine pump. This is me trying to
- 46:23Speaker 1: look at it at the coaches perspective and hoping that
- 46:28Speaker 1: this is the thought process, right, This is my theory.
- 46:33Speaker 1: One listening to Nolk on a breakdown, Gabe kind of
- 46:36Speaker 1: was thought that Baits should feel a certain way. Now,
- 46:41Speaker 1: Gabe was a former center, played line for Oklahoma, so
- 46:44Speaker 1: I could totally understand where he would come from with
- 46:46Speaker 1: this thought that Bates probably should have gone in as
- 46:49Speaker 1: soon as Hickman went down. But I disagreed with that
- 46:53Speaker 1: statement because I felt like it made sense to put
- 46:56Speaker 1: Hatchet in there for one reason and one reason only.
- 46:59Speaker 1: You gotta figure figure out who else is gonna be
- 47:01Speaker 1: able to play center if you lose another one. Right,
- 47:04Speaker 1: we've already Troy Everett injury. Why somebody asked there and
- 47:08Speaker 1: the asked the question of why what's up with Troy Everett.
- 47:12Speaker 1: I know BV said that they expect him back in
- 47:16Speaker 1: the next couple of games, within the first couple of
- 47:18Speaker 1: games of the season, So he may play against Houston,
- 47:21Speaker 1: he may play against Tulane. But he's but he's been
- 47:24Speaker 1: hurt all of all camp. You just lost Hickman. Now
- 47:29Speaker 1: the only center you actually know you have is Baits. Well,
- 47:35Speaker 1: if that's the case, it's better to see in game speed,
- 47:40Speaker 1: in a game where you're beating the dog out of
- 47:42Speaker 1: this team, and see who can step up and play
- 47:45Speaker 1: that position. You gotta know who's ready for it, who
- 47:48Speaker 1: can you trust. So I think that's why you saw
- 47:50Speaker 1: Hatchet go in there at center first, and instead of
- 47:54Speaker 1: you actually getting like a Baits to come in and
- 47:57Speaker 1: play the rest of the game, they played Baits later
- 47:59Speaker 1: with the mixture of the other offensive lineman we've talked
- 48:01Speaker 1: about that we would like to see, like Joseeta as
- 48:03Speaker 1: well as Logan Howland epl We saw them play together,
- 48:08Speaker 1: which to me, the whole theory behind this is Bill
- 48:12Speaker 1: beaatenbow knew that he had a team that he could
- 48:14Speaker 1: use this against, and he needs to see who can
- 48:17Speaker 1: play what now? You can only see so much in
- 48:20Speaker 1: fall camp. Again, I'm not sunshine pumping. I'm not throwing
- 48:23Speaker 1: y'all bs. This is truly how I feel because I'm
- 48:26Speaker 1: wondering if he's seeing that okay in fall camp. This
- 48:29Speaker 1: is as much as I'm gonna get because as competitive
- 48:33Speaker 1: as a dominic A, Dejahon terry A, Jayden Jackson, and
- 48:37Speaker 1: David Stone, et cetera, as competitive as those defensive linemen are,
- 48:41Speaker 1: they don't want to injure their teammates because they know
- 48:43Speaker 1: that that side of the ball, if they're down, there's
- 48:46Speaker 1: a problem. Right Like they they're battling, but they know
- 48:50Speaker 1: that an injury could happen that could derail everybody's season
- 48:54Speaker 1: because the defense can only carry you so far. I'm
- 48:57Speaker 1: sensing that he's like, all right, let me see who
- 48:59Speaker 1: I can trust. That's just my theory I said. I
- 49:01Speaker 1: could be one hundred percent wrong. It could have been
- 49:03Speaker 1: like he was pannicking, But I don't feel like he's
- 49:06Speaker 1: that type of coach. And so that's the only reason
- 49:08Speaker 1: why I'm gonna tell you when it comes to the
- 49:10Speaker 1: offensive line, Spencer Brown, He's probably not gonna play a lot,
- 49:14Speaker 1: but I did see a couple of plays where he
- 49:16Speaker 1: had some pool and some pancakes where he actually did good,
- 49:19Speaker 1: but the bad plays were too visibly bad, like too
- 49:24Speaker 1: visibly bad. I actually saw one come across my timeline
- 49:28Speaker 1: that brown. I mean it was a great pool and
- 49:31Speaker 1: boom right there to the edge. He did good, but
- 49:35Speaker 1: at the same time keeping it a buck. His bad
- 49:38Speaker 1: ones were just so visibly bad.
- 49:40Speaker 3: We had to do better.
- 49:41Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's O line for me cooping anything else
- 49:44Speaker 1: before we move on to the other positions.
- 49:47Speaker 2: It's gotta be better. It's I mean, it absolutely has
- 49:49Speaker 2: to be better. I mean, these guys are Division one players.
- 49:53Speaker 2: This is freaking Oklahoma. That was Temple.
- 49:55Speaker 3: You gotta be better. That's all there is to it.
- 49:58Speaker 2: So do you think that these guys have the opportunity
- 50:01Speaker 2: to go in and go to practice this week and
- 50:05Speaker 2: look at the film and go No, I think we
- 50:07Speaker 2: did a good job. No, that you demand better at Oklahoma.
- 50:12Speaker 1: So exactly so, I think they we'll get there, all right,
- 50:17Speaker 1: quarterback cool, Hey man, I'm just gonna be honest. I
- 50:21Speaker 1: think that Jackson Arnold's fine. And this is why I
- 50:25Speaker 1: say that we've seen him throw deep, we seen him
- 50:29Speaker 1: do some good passes right like the first drive and
- 50:33Speaker 1: this is where I caught that we were going scripted.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Drive one. You saw Jackson Arnold step up on the RPO,
- 50:40Speaker 1: launch that bad Boy or Jilil for Rooke in a
- 50:42Speaker 1: perfect throw. I mean that was perfect, right over the shoulder.
- 50:47Speaker 1: The defender was a little bit was draping initially for
- 50:50Speaker 1: Rooke's got separation, pulled it in. I was like, okay,
- 50:53Speaker 1: we got that. And then when he scrambled and Bower
- 50:58Speaker 1: sharp big bring. I gonna say you, Bower has a
- 51:01Speaker 1: big brand. Instead of running his normal drag across the field,
- 51:05Speaker 1: he started drifting towards the end zone and Jackson just
- 51:08Speaker 1: dumped it right to him perfectly for the touchdown. You
- 51:12Speaker 1: saw the chemistry. You saw the mind worked via him.
- 51:15Speaker 1: That fade route that Dion Burks caught. Dion had told
- 51:19Speaker 1: Gabe that Jackson dorn'tal change the play. He switched it
- 51:24Speaker 1: up and said this is what you're gonna do, and
- 51:26Speaker 1: when he did that, it was the perfect spot. So
- 51:30Speaker 1: to me, it looks like we have the chemistry we
- 51:32Speaker 1: need at quarterback with the players. If there's any critique,
- 51:36Speaker 1: I gotta give Jackson on this one. Two of those
- 51:40Speaker 1: three sacks he got was on him. One of those
- 51:43Speaker 1: RPOs that he pulled down. He waited too long to
- 51:46Speaker 1: throw it. He should have threw it or threw it
- 51:47Speaker 1: at his receiver's feet because it was one of those like, oh,
- 51:50Speaker 1: you gotta get rid of that ball. He can't help
- 51:51Speaker 1: spot that long, you could tell. I think he was
- 51:55Speaker 1: trying to let a play develop, even with the offensive
- 51:57Speaker 1: line and struggling. He especially because the sat came in
- 52:01Speaker 1: front of him, he should have been able to get
- 52:03Speaker 1: get going or moved to where that those didn't happen.
- 52:07Speaker 1: But besides that, Yeah, I think we're gonna be just
- 52:11Speaker 1: fine at quarterback this year.
- 52:12Speaker 2: What you think, Yeah, we had the drop balls and
- 52:17Speaker 2: we can get to the recipients of such. But you know,
- 52:20Speaker 2: I was looking and right after I think it was
- 52:23Speaker 2: Burke's second touchdown, he already had two drops. He was
- 52:27Speaker 2: eleven of sixteen for one hundred and fourteen yards and
- 52:30Speaker 2: three touchdowns. Now I'll say this is why did his
- 52:35Speaker 2: passing yards not. I mean, if you'd give the drops,
- 52:38Speaker 2: you know he's up a little bit, you know, a
- 52:40Speaker 2: little bit further in the in the yardage piece. But
- 52:44Speaker 2: he didn't have a ton of passing yards because of
- 52:46Speaker 2: the turnovers. We kept on being in short fields. You
- 52:48Speaker 2: were talking about that a lot throughout the a lot
- 52:51Speaker 2: throughout the game. You know, we we had trouble with
- 52:54Speaker 2: gaining up yards because of that. But Jackson Arnold, if
- 53:00Speaker 2: the numbers, I think he was what was it, seventeen
- 53:03Speaker 2: of yeah, seventeen to twenty five and he had four drops.
- 53:08Speaker 2: So if those drops don't happen, he is twenty one
- 53:12Speaker 2: of twenty five.
- 53:14Speaker 3: And that's that's good. I mean, that's good. Four touchdowns.
- 53:18Speaker 2: So Jackson Arnold, you hear it. That's in the Tulsa game.
- 53:23Speaker 2: He made a last second switch. The BYU game. He
- 53:25Speaker 2: made a last second switch Arizona. He showed a lot
- 53:28Speaker 2: of you know, gumption out there. I think that he had.
- 53:32Speaker 2: The only bad pass I think he had was the
- 53:34Speaker 2: one where he underthrew Brennan and it looked like he
- 53:39Speaker 2: was too worried about throwing it out of the back
- 53:40Speaker 2: of the end zone, so he just kind of floated
- 53:43Speaker 2: the ball. And so I mean, here you go is
- 53:49Speaker 2: for it goes out again. You have a young quarterback.
- 53:53Speaker 2: He showed that he's got coachable things. There's nothing that
- 53:55Speaker 2: you can't fix he is. I would say the only
- 53:58Speaker 2: thing that I think that I wanted to tell Jackson is, Dude,
- 54:01Speaker 2: I love that you're a dog, but the old lay
- 54:03Speaker 2: shit on the sideline like you can't be doing that
- 54:05Speaker 2: stuff because one of those guys from you know, from
- 54:09Speaker 2: South Carolina, or one of those guys from Tennessee. You know,
- 54:12Speaker 2: they'll come after you a little bit harder that next
- 54:13Speaker 2: time and you might get a little bit more of
- 54:15Speaker 2: a thump. Also, let's learn how to slide. Buddy, call
- 54:18Speaker 2: up Kyler, let him. Let him have a conversation with
- 54:21Speaker 2: you about how to slide, run out. Do not take
- 54:23Speaker 2: the you know, the larger hits. But that guy is
- 54:26Speaker 2: that he is going to be a stud at quarterback.
- 54:29Speaker 2: And that was his first true on start and he
- 54:32Speaker 2: still has yet to have a full compliment of players
- 54:35Speaker 2: around him. And that's what he did. He threw four touchdowns.
- 54:38Speaker 2: If I told you all, Jackson's going to have four
- 54:41Speaker 2: touchdowns no turnovers in game one of his season this year.
- 54:48Speaker 3: How you feeling We all are going to be feeling
- 54:50Speaker 3: pretty good about that.
- 54:52Speaker 1: No, I agree agree with you with everything that you
- 54:56Speaker 1: just said. I would not have been stressed out about
- 54:59Speaker 1: Jackson normal, what's a ever? If? Yeah, zero stress whatsoever?
- 55:05Speaker 1: If I've heard that he had four touchdowns and no turnovers,
- 55:07Speaker 1: I've been like, oh, okay, it means we had a
- 55:09Speaker 1: really good, good game. We did very well. The your
- 55:12Speaker 1: reason to even have concerns. So in that Michael Hawkins,
- 55:16Speaker 1: we're gonna have fun with him this season. Just know that.
- 55:18Speaker 1: That's all I got to say about that. It's not
- 55:20Speaker 1: much to go. I'm we only have four throws, he
- 55:22Speaker 1: had a couple of runs. He had the twenty yarder
- 55:24Speaker 1: that got pulled back. We're gonna have fun. We're gonna
- 55:26Speaker 1: be fine at quarterback for a couple of years, So
- 55:31Speaker 1: enjoy all of that, ladies and gentlemen. Coop, let's jump
- 55:34Speaker 1: into the running back room. We're gonna speed this through.
- 55:36Speaker 1: We've got we're gonna go running back. We're gonna wide
- 55:39Speaker 1: receiver tighty end, and then we're gonna go into our
- 55:41Speaker 1: game awards and wrap the show up. Thank you out
- 55:44Speaker 1: for pulling up. Hit that like button, newt to the channel, subscribe,
- 55:47Speaker 1: wipe you have feet rate review, give us five? All right, Coop,
- 55:52Speaker 1: all right, running back room, start off slow and then
- 55:58Speaker 1: we got going what you got.
- 56:01Speaker 3: Sawchuck.
- 56:02Speaker 2: I don't think he got much opportunity. You know, it
- 56:05Speaker 2: looked like he wanted to run between the tackles a
- 56:07Speaker 2: little bit better.
- 56:08Speaker 3: You know.
- 56:09Speaker 2: He again, you're you're not messing around. This is game one.
- 56:13Speaker 2: So I didn't really get to see much out of Sawchuck.
- 56:15Speaker 2: Barnes looks like he's it. He looks like he is
- 56:17Speaker 2: excited to be back. He looks like a more nimble
- 56:20Speaker 2: trace sermon to me. Now, there was there was one
- 56:23Speaker 2: to where one of his runs and I think it
- 56:26Speaker 2: was about a twelve twelve thirteen yard run, guy came
- 56:30Speaker 2: right up in him. He had an issue his first
- 56:33Speaker 2: year of play making that one guy miss but he
- 56:37Speaker 2: ducked him. He ran through a small space, he ran violently.
- 56:42Speaker 2: So glad to see Barnes back out there and hitting it.
- 56:46Speaker 2: Sam Frinklin, he surprised me when I saw him where
- 56:50Speaker 2: he was on the depth chart. I thought, well, well,
- 56:51Speaker 2: you know, but you know, at one point he had
- 56:53Speaker 2: the longest run of the night in the second half,
- 56:56Speaker 2: and so man, he he's going to have a role
- 56:59Speaker 2: on this team as of right now. So really really
- 57:02Speaker 2: excited to see Sam Franklin. But guys, Taylor Tatum. He's
- 57:05Speaker 2: going to be special, and I you know, it's a
- 57:08Speaker 2: I was always say I'm a big show me state
- 57:10Speaker 2: type of person. You know, you got to show me
- 57:13Speaker 2: Taylor Tatum looks different. He looks absolutely different. Was he
- 57:17Speaker 2: running against backups and late in the game, sure, but
- 57:22Speaker 2: he got I mean he was he the second running
- 57:24Speaker 2: back on the field. I think at one point he
- 57:26Speaker 2: was the second running back on the field. So yeah,
- 57:29Speaker 2: I'm I'm pretty pretty pretty excited about this room.
- 57:33Speaker 1: Yeah me too. The running back room is what I'm
- 57:36Speaker 1: not concerned about. Saltchuk is a volume runner. It feels
- 57:39Speaker 1: like he gets the ball, he gets going in Boonich,
- 57:41Speaker 1: you know, he breaks out for sixty seventy yard run.
- 57:44Speaker 1: That's just feels like his game. I'm okay with that.
- 57:48Speaker 1: He didn't get a chance to do that in this game.
- 57:50Speaker 1: He only had six carries. His snap count in this game,
- 57:56Speaker 1: where are you? Gavin? Saltchuk looks like like he had
- 58:01Speaker 1: twenty six snaps total for the game. And he had
- 58:07Speaker 1: thirty eight total snaps including the special teams. So yeah,
- 58:14Speaker 1: he had twenty five in the backfield and one on
- 58:16Speaker 1: the white house. So twenty six total snaps is what
- 58:18Speaker 1: he had in this game. In that case, he wasn't
- 58:21Speaker 1: gonna get the ball, munch, So I'm fine with him.
- 58:25Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that. Taylor Tatum, is it? Taylor Tatum?
- 58:32Speaker 1: Is that dude? He is? I'm just gonna say that now,
- 58:38Speaker 1: and we're gonna get a lot of them. We didn't
- 58:40Speaker 1: get any Hicks, which was kind of wild or ex Rob.
- 58:43Speaker 1: I didn't expect x Rob. That was a little wild
- 58:45Speaker 1: that we didn't get Megua or or Caleb Hicks. That
- 58:51Speaker 1: may change next week. But I think the one thing
- 58:53Speaker 1: I did love though we talked about this, we got
- 58:56Speaker 1: a two back set. We had like twenty one personnel
- 59:00Speaker 1: at twenty two personnel. At one point we had twelve personnel.
- 59:03Speaker 1: We had all kinds of personnel setups. I'm just like,
- 59:05Speaker 1: oh wow, I was not used to this. How does
- 59:11Speaker 1: that happen? Oh my goodness.
- 59:18Speaker 2: Running backs were great though, at a lot of good plays. Again,
- 59:22Speaker 2: you with a little bit more opportunity, uh, you know,
- 59:25Speaker 2: in the next two weeks, hopefully we get a chance
- 59:27Speaker 2: to see these guys actually break it out into the
- 59:31Speaker 2: break it out into the to the boundary and get running.
- 59:34Speaker 2: So but yeah, you saw some great things out of Barnes,
- 59:37Speaker 2: Hicks and definitely Tatum.
- 59:40Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And so seeing Javante Barnes shout out to him,
- 59:43Speaker 1: I want to wrap up with him because he looks
- 59:46Speaker 1: healthy now, he looks like he's ready to ball, and
- 59:50Speaker 1: he reminds he looked like cheese at Bowl Javante Barnes.
- 59:56Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna be finding that room. We've
- 59:58Speaker 1: got three dudes, And so did Sam Franklin. He actually
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: looked pretty good in his few snaps because Sam Franklin
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: as well as Taylor Tatum averaged over ten yards to carry.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: If Sam Franklin four carries forty five yards, he had
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: a thirty yard run. Tatum had his thirty five yard run.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: Five carry sixty nine yards thirteen point eight yards per carry.
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: We're gonna be fine. Fine. Wide receiver room and tight ends. Hey,
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: coou guess what We've.
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: Got wide receiver and wide receiver and what.
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: I don't know if you knew this, but we got
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: tight ends and they can catch the dang ball and
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: they can get open and they can block. It's bananas,
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: because I know last year was a little question, but
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: we dealt with none but injury. That was the room
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: that was probably the most injured last year. And I
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: added wide receiver and tight ends together, not because they
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: both catch and block at the same time, more so
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: because we know that we're dealing with injuries. Juli Farouk
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: has done for six to eight weeks. Nick six is
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: no nicked up, no pun intended, but he's expected to
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: be back next Andrew Anthony's coming off the knee surgery.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: He did play, so he's got snaps, so we're seeing
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: him get back into game shape. Brendon Thompson got out there,
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: Dion Birch, you know you saw, so you saw more.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: Jj Hester, who his two drops is gonna cost him
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: my pledge of allegiance to him, but he's got an
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: opportunity to redeem himself because he's gonna have to play
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: now that farukas out, he's gonna have to play against Houston.
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: But we got tight ends to help take away some
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: of the pressure there. Jake Roberts looked pretty sided out
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: on the block. He didn't get very many throws thrown
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: at him, but he looked good out there blocking. And
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: Bower Sharp's a dude period. I mentioned that drag on
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: purpose with Jackson Arnald scrambling because seeing that Bower Sharp
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: took the ball. He took the route and instead of
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: staying you know, parallel, he started drifting towards the end zone.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: And you could tell he was drifting because he kept
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: looking back to Machhnold Defender was right there. He kept
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: doing this, doing this, and then Jacksonardald threw it to
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: him Boom caught it. Fell Es. Yeah, so with that
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: and this is not true, Steve, I'm gonna kick you
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: out of the room. You're about to get booted. J J.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: Hester is still gonna he got open. He just needs
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: to bring the ball in.
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be saying like PG. PG was giving
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: him a little bit of of you know, he know
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: he's rusty, even though he hasn't played in an actual
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: game in two years. I could totally see that for
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: the most part. I'm not. I need him to get
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: them hands together, and I think he will. Supposedly in
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: practice he did. Gibson was similar. He was he was
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: doing all kinds of stuff, was dropping in a little
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: bit his freshman year, but then he figured out how
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: to get it tight. I think we get that same
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: thing out of Hester going forward. So Coop, how'd you
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: feel about these wide receivers and what they did outside
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: of the fact that Dion Burks is a dude.
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: Like, yeah, Dean Burks, Dean Burks is him. Guys, expect this.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: Dean Burks is gonna have one hundred and twenty ish
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: touches this year. He is going to be your main weapon.
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: And if you're a decided about that, be excited about this.
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: Dean Burks is a smaller guy and hythe and that
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: is it.
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: He is strong.
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: He might be one of the strongest guys on the team.
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: You know, he's squatting in the five hundreds, benched in
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: the four hundreds. I mean, dude is a baller, so
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: he can take it. Guys, don't be first. First player
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: of the game was a reverse to Dion Burks, not
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: the jet sweep. We were all hoping for the for
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: the trolling. But guys, you saw, I mean, in every
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: single big game, you saw jet sweeps.
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: You saw wide receiver run game.
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: And if this running back room needs some help in
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: the offensive line needs some help, that is that's gonna
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: help because that's going to allow that mixing in some
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: you know, running back passing game and some of the
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: wide receiver runs on the edge.
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: That's it.
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: I mean, that's I mean, that is going to help
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: this offensive line tremendously because you can't the edges can't
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: crash down. So that being said Brendan Thompson, it looks
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: like with this, you know the game plan of playing
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: in a box. You know, he needs to learn how
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: to operate in the middle of the field and how
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: to turn up field. You know, there were one third yes,
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: there was one third down conversion that we didn't get
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: because he ran into the umpire and and so I mean,
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: if he just turns that upfield, he doesn't get that.
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: But you know, he he's used to making fifty yard plays.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: He's used to making these bomb plays. So hester I mean,
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: for me, you got one more shot, brother, like you
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: got to do it. He's a nine to one eight guy,
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: like I want to see him do well. But whereas
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: Jaden Gibson was a freshman, he's a red shirt senior,
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: like you ain't got much more time for development and
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: everything like that, Like this is your time to shine.
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: So he's going to get another opportunity and if he
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: does not take advantage of it, then somebody else is
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: going to come in and take his place. You saw
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: carry on with some early snaps. So I'll just say this,
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: you get Nick six back, that's going to be helped.
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: We cannot sustain you. You know I would any more
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: injuries like that's not you know, two big contributors. You
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: saw some younger kids out there, but the tight ends
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: bower sharp is he's going to be a weapon. Jake
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: Roberts only had I think one or two balls thrown
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: his way. It was one of the kind of I
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: think he broke in instead of out and Jackson Arnold
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: misread it. They didn't have that together. But yeah, this
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: is Jackson Arnold is going to have a lot of
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: opportunity to put up numbers this year.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: Yeah, as I see Jake Roberts, I think he had
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: nineteen snaps in the game and eleven of them was blocked.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: And he's got some routes up there. He did some moving.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: You did see Caden Hillmes as well as Cave McIntyre,
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: so both of them got a little bit of burn.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: But yeah, with j j hester Man, I think he'll
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: be fine. He's just gonna have to get used to
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: throws coming to him across the middle. And that's where
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: I was talking about that scripting piece in this game,
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: it felt like they purposely was throwing the ball across
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: the middle so that they can see if Jackson Arnold
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: can get it to his guys when the line backers
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: don't know what the play is, right, we did we
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: remember and practice Danny Stutsman. Supposedly, the rumor has it
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: and some of the reports from all the insiders the
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: Stutsman was having a field day with Jackson Arnold across
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: the middle, like he was whipping up all of his passes. Well,
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: it makes sense. Stutsman has a very good idea of
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, and he has a good idea of tendencies.
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: So when you go up against a team that doesn't
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: know what you're doing and get test out the ability
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: to throw across the middle, throw some deep you know,
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: pose some fades, you get an opportunity to see if
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: the wide receiver is not only a good at third
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: rout running, but they have the capabilities of making things happen.
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: So I feel like that is what you were getting
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: out of a That's what you were getting out of
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: a Jackson Arnold in this wide receiver room in this
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: game and you're right. That was the only issue I
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: had with Brendon Thompson in this game is that the
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: two times he caught it across the middle, one of
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: them wasn't really going him. But for the most part
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: he should have caught and turned up field like catch,
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: tuck the shoulder, brace for a hit if it's come in,
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: and then go and get that first down. He kept
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: trying to run around people, and I don't mind that
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: because you're fast, but you can't keep trying to run
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: around people. You gotta go ahead and catch that bad
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: boy and be done with it in that play, get
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: get that first down. We had a few of those.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: We had a few opportunities to get that if we
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: would have made it happen. So shots of them, though. Man,
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: I'm happy that we've got wide receivers. We've got tight
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: end room right As as thin as the wide receiver
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: room is getting Coop, I don't think that it's gonna
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: be a world ender for us. All we got questions.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Blake asked the question earlier, what does Houston's defensive line
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: look like? It did?
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: Get good?
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: Got very good? Not very good?
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: Bud Gunns asked this good question. Here do we believe that.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: I think the old line is gonna get better. Before
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: we played Tennessee. Yes, health is gonna be the question,
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: but I expect to see more of the young players. Now.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: I need you all to keep this in mind. If
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: they play the young players, they're going to make mistakes.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: If you're willing to give them the grace on them
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: making mistakes, I am down for them being played, but
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: if y'all plan on ripping them, if they make mistakes,
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: then what's the point of asking for them to play.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: Just keep that in mind. I do think the lot
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: would be better about Tennessee, Coop.
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: It sure is shit better. Sorry for my life. Fair
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: point Again, I.
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: Do say this, you have a lot of capability to
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: help out the offensive line if they are having troubles.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: You do.
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: But I'm not going to sugarcoat at all.
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: It was freaking Temple and their defensive I mean, their
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: defensive line was not good.
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: It was very bad.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: And so now if that was scripted and it was
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: you know, we're not doing drive, We're not going to
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: show much on our you know, you know, on our combos,
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: then sure, but you get guys back, you quit switching around.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: But I do feel like this team played in a box,
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: and I do think that they kept everything at the
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: line of scrimmage and almost looked by design. So I
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: think that as you can open stuff up that you
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: know doesn't have the ability to stack the box against
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: the offensive line, and so I mean, you've got to
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: have to get I mean, I do think they're gonna
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: get better, and I only base that off of every
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: single year that Bill Bingbo's been here exactly.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: I just go off the history of him making changes
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: and making things happen. So I since we'll be fine there.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: Blake asked this on how many different combos were played
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: on the offensive line. Is it wishful thinking that maybe
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: they just couldn't get a steady chemistry since it was
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: changing so much. I think you may have a point there.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: I don't think that you're off base in that. Yeah,
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: there's some truth in that, and I wonder that same thing.
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: I also think that, again, as Coop mentioned, being Bo
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: is testing out as much as possible in live snaps
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: so that we can hopefully see and find guys that
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: are ready to jump out. Jen great question here. Do
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: you think we should see more of epl A?
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: Yes, yep, A lot a lot now EPL.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: EPL plays right guard right now, and which is behind Fabiji.
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: I do think that there were a couple of times
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: I think I saw somebody say in the chat there
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: were a couple of times that Fabiji he he didn't
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: show it on film that he did something wrong, but
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: he didn't do something that he was supposed to and
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: it made Spencer Brown look a lot worse than he
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: really was. But let's I mean, Spencer Brown was bad.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: So I think EPL is going to be a guy
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: who gets in there and see some more time. Like
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: I said, I do expect that we see Heathos Eida
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: more this coming week.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so as well. It's one of those.
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: That, yeah, you gotta you gotta show it in the
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: off week, you gotta, you gotta bear down, you gotta
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: be great in practice. We saw it with the offensive
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: line or the running back room last year. But again,
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: at this point, the only reason why you use so
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: many different combinations is because guys are needing to be
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: coached up, and this is the time you do it
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: is to coach him up and hope that the next
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: week you do better. So you know, talk to Eugene
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: Brooks's pops shout out, mister Brooks. I saw him at
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: the end of the game, and so yeah, hopefully we
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: can see bj out there a little bit more. Ayasosa.
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: You know, he's been working at center also. So I
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: think that I think this offensive line, we'll see some
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: we'll see some jumps, and it will not look the
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: same next week, because you know, if it is more
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: of the same, that's that's just it's it's not that's
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: not good.
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, And I don't I think we'll be fine.
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: Like I said, I trust in Bill beat and Bow
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: that he's been doing this long enough. And he points
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: out a substance financial amount of sometimes you got you
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: need sometimes you need true film to see how people
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: are gonna actually react in those scenarios. Right. So yeah,
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: and I think that we're gonna be just fine when
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: it comes to I think it's gonna be just fine
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: when we get closer to the Tennessee game. I think
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Tulange will be fine. I think once Tulane happens, you're
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: gonna be like, eh, okay, okay, I think we're fine.
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: I think we're fine. That's where I'm seeing it. It's
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: the he's just trying to see what game film. Now,
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: let's put it this way. Let's let's let's go ahead
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: and look at the bright side of it. Now they
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: can go put this on tape on the wall and
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: to point to the players and say, see what you did?
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: Why did you do that? Now, let's talk through this.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: I expect a heck of a lot of that going forward.
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: This one was a pretty solid one. Say, Jena asked
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: the question around Caleb Hicks thought he would get some snaps.
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: Why is he not? I had the same question too.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: I legit thought that we were gonna see a lot
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: more Caleb Hicks. I was actually pretty surprised that he
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: did not play in this game. Coop did did? Did
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: that throw you off to yeah?
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: Or is this just to game point at the same point,
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: like if there's five guys, I mean, if there's four
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: guys better than him, I mean, we're in a good spot.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: I don't want to I've been cautioning you guys this
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: for almost a year now. We're going to see players
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: transfer out from the program that we thought we're going
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: to be major contributors, and the guys that we never
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: really get a chance to see or see to do something.
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: I'm not saying that that's what's happening right now with
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: Caleb Hicks. Uh, But you've got Gavin and Barnes up front.
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: Sam Franklin came in. Tatum was the second running back
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: overall coming in. So I mean, if if Caleb Hicks
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: is our fifth best running back, then there's a good
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: chance that we don't see him as a sooner next year.
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: Hopefully he gets a chance to do something and gets
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: the chance to be out there. And I think a
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: lot of that's going to have to do with, you know, how,
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: what do we look like on the offensive line and
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: the run setups, because we I've mentioned this before is
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: running backs can't get off script and run to where
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: the play is not designed to go. And if the
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: running back room is continually needed, you know, going off script,
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: then that's that's not good because then you can't fix
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: issues you don't know exactly where the point of contention
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: is for the offensive line and just for the offense
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: as in general.
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: So I hope cal Hicks gets his time.
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. I hope we get we get to
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: see a little Hicks next week. That'll be nice, you know,
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: save Tt till later in the season. You don't need
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: him yet, save him till later. Give me some Hicks action,
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: give me some Sam Franklin. I can only to see
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: those two play more. But yeah, kind of saddens me.
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: We didn't see him in the first game, and Zis
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: I had mentioned that with my theory about why you
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: played Baits later and you don't play them and keep
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: Hatchet in because you gotta. You gotta find out who
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: the next center is gonna be, just in case all
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: three of them are banged up in some capacity, because
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: Bates was banged up in fall camp two, right, I think, oh,
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: you Insider reported as so, so Hatchet, all of them
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: are banged up. You gotta see who's gonna be who
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: once they get healthy, can step in just in case
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: we have three guys go down. Last one here it is, Laila.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: How much of a difference did you guys see from
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: just switching from the Big twelve last year to the
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: SEC this year? And what did you see? I'm not
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: sure what this in reference to, but as an overall piece,
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: I feel like the fan base really showed up and
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: showed out for this Friday night game. I felt like
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: we're getting close to some SEC stuff here. Man, I
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: think we are. I really do pretty excited about that.
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: I mean, if you're if you're saying, like, what are
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: we looking at the team wise, it's it's the team
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: is bigger, That defensive line is bigger. I made a
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: comment last week about you know, let's see here Nick
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: Saban's comments about us not being ready in the trenches
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball. That's not true
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: yet to be proven. On the offensive side.
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: That's the other thing we got.
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: It's not it's not for lack of size. We've got
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: the size on both sides of the ball. And that's
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: kind of what I saw is the physicality, the defensive
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: first mindset that this team brought out in Game one. Now,
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: looking at the other teams, I know and Jay I
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: shared this one out with you, but I think you
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: had four teams give up three points in the first game.
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: In the SEC five teams give up nothing, and then
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: one give up nine, and then four guys you know
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: with gave up a little bit more. But the top
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: eleven was it top eleven or twelve, I mean gave
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: up a combined what was it one points? So uh
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: it's uh, you know you got after it in the trenches,
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: and I saw a lot Here's what I will say.
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: I saw a lot of offensive line issues across the
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: country from a lot of different teams this week. This week,
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: and so, uh, you know, a lot of that rust
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: you've been playing against. You know, you've been playing against
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: the defense tendencies, the guy across from you that you're learning.
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: And so now, don't overreact on game one. There's a
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: lot of good and there's a lot of stuff to
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: work on.
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: Yep it and it was on both sides. I watched
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: some of these other SC games and some of the
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: other teams have some struggles. So again, thanks for pulling
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: up with the light button to the channel, subscribe, rate review,
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: give us five cool. Let's give out some awards. I
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: want to know who you thought was your offensive MVP.
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: I'm gonna go off script because I want to let
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: you take take our man. I'm giving it to I'm
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: giving it to Jackson Arnold. He came in, he threw
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: four touchdowns. He uh, you know, he ran the ball some.
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: He shows some grit, he showed some toughness. He shows
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: some some Baker Mayfield type swag, you know on running
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: the ball. You know, he he found, uh, he found
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: a go to guy. So I'm gonna give it to
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: Jackson Arnold.
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: Not too shabby, not too shabby offensive MVP for me.
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: I mean, the easiest answer, of course, is gonna be
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: Dion Burks. He looked like that guy. I'm giving it
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: to Bower Sharp though. I'm gonna get the Bower Sharp
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: because it's the first time we've had the filling up
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: a tight end, really out there showing up, got to
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: get it. Felt like we had a tight end. It's
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: going to really be a problem for other teams. That
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: felt good. But I mean we could both give a
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: consensus to a Dion Burks here, because you know, he
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: gets three touchdowns in his first time playing at Oklahoma,
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: and that's not something that is something that's not something
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: to overlook. Burks is going to be a dude. Six catches,
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: thirty six yards, three touchdowns, He's going to be a dude.
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: And we didn't even try to go deep to him, Like,
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: we didn't even try to create time for him to
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: go deep. We just went ahead. And you know, we
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: also played on a lot of short yardage, right, we didn't.
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: It's not like we were going down the field fully,
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: we were getting turned. We had six turnovers right, six
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: possessions became five of them became short yardage, where the
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: sixth one was a touchdown that we returned. Right. So
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: we did everything we were supposed to do defensively and
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: made it very easy for the offense defensive MVP.
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: Who you got, G Baby? Gotta go, g Baby.
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: We've been waiting, We've been waiting on him to show
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: up in the backfield to pursue the ball. There were
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: comments in one of the videos right before that, you know,
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: really scared people a little bit. But I mean, I
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: think my overall player of the week it was Kendall Dolbey.
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: It just it just for absolutely everybody. But I want
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: to shout out to G Baby too, because I mean
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: he was he looked really really good.
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a that's a very good one
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: because everything that G Baby did in that game made
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: me say, Okay, that's what we've been looking for. Uh
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: for me, I'm gonna go a little bit on the
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: off script side of this, right, I'm going a little
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: different here. Let me verify one thing real quick that
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure I verified that's true. Robert
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: Spears Jennings right, he didn't even start the game at
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: safety at free safety, right, it was Peyton. It was
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: Peyton and Billy. But we had heard that there was
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: gonna be a rotation between those three at the safety spot.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: And we're gonna also run some three safety spots, three
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: safety formations, which is gonna be nasty. But of course,
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: you know, your leader in tackles was Danny Stutsman. As expected,
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: Kip did well, but Robert Spears Chenning's not only forced
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: a fumble, but he recovered one. Yeah, baby, who can
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: get can get excited about that?
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: How great is it that we're sitting here like it
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: wasn't Danny. Danny's been the player of the week on
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: defense for almost two years. Danny just does what Danny
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: does like it's now expected. And I fear for Danny
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: because I want everybody who's watching this and everybody who
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: watches games this year don't like, don't don't take him
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: for granted. This is our last year with him, and
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: he is great. I mean he is he is again
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: like I said, he is working himself into a you know,
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: a mount rushmore of the Sooners. But there's so many
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: different guys on defense that do so many different things. Well,
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: and so again this is it wasn't that the quarterback
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: was just you know, throwing crappy balls everywhere. He was
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: doing a great everybody was doing a great job. So yeah,
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: I mean just absolutely and and we're gonna see there's
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: how I mean it works about third string dudes on
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: this defense at this point, that's.
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: Crazy, right. Marcus Strong walks in, plays three snaps, gets
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: two sacks. He played three snaps, y'all, in which I
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: told y'all, I like Marcus Strong. When we went after him.
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: The one thing I saw about him is that, you know,
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: no pun intendity had strong hands because when he was
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: grabbing dudes in the trenches in his videos, he wouldn't
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: let people go and they were pulling him and he
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: was boom, bring them back. That to me is excitement
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: that you can't say everywhere else. That is something that
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: you don't get very often, and I'm excited about that.
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: Nary I was mentioning about everybody forcing fumbles. Robert Spis,
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: Jenning's Ethan downs, Grayson Holden all forced fumbles. They all
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: got credited with forced fumbles in the game. And I
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: think somebody somebody else that forced one. I can't think
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: of who it was for. I can't think of who
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: the fourth one was. But we got we got it.
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: It's all that matters, right, And Kendall Adobe is another
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: one that you like, you said, I.
- 1:22:51Speaker 3: Think it was Lewis Carter. I think Lewis Carter forced one.
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: Yeah, Lewis Carr did. It was Lewis Carr. They caused
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: it fumble. It was him and somebody else is in
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: the play, But Lewis is the one that hit the
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: show to make the ball fly out. So you can't
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: beat that. Special teams gotta give to kill. Jaron Cannick
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: love it.
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: That's the that's the fumble that Lewis Carter caused.
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: Was he.
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: The specialty?
- 1:23:20Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: And so he does it and then Cannick, I'm just
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: happy for him because again maybe that's something. I mean,
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: dude still has a role to play on this team.
