- 0:10So Thursday, the Tuesday, September fifth, we'll be with it from six
- 0:16to seven. Back with jamore On Mike Crispino coach. Let's let's get to
- 0:20the wide receivers. I don't want to bring up I'm not a guy that
- 0:23likes to focus on negative things. I'm not if you know this about me.
- 0:28I went to to practice one day about a week or two. We're
- 0:31indoors this last year, no this year, this year, and I saw
- 0:35all these drop passes and I was getting upset, only because I played the
- 0:39position. I was a wide receiver in high school. High school in a
- 0:44very small school. Is at Catholic High. We had about twice they we
- 0:49all played two ways. But anyway, you don't want to know that history.
- 0:52But I saw all these drop passes and I was getting upset, and
- 0:54I'm thinking, coach must be upset about this. What's your number one thing
- 0:59when you look at a wide receiver and go, that's our guy, or
- 1:02that's our three guys. If they catch the ball. You know that's the
- 1:06number one thing. So I guess I gotta go back and look at that
- 1:07practice. I don't I don't remember that. Are you sure that wasn't the
- 1:11day we switched Jersey colors and you were watching the defensive backs because those are
- 1:15just no I think it's a backs just wide receivers you can't catch. I
- 1:19know that. You know you gotta be able to catch the ball. You
- 1:23gotta stretch the field. I wasn't dreaming. I didn't have sunglasses on.
- 1:26I was seeing him with my own. I'm not I'm worried, Okay,
- 1:30I was. I thought we were going to go real positive here with the
- 1:32wide receivers. Look at this whole thing. Everything we're getting to cam Ross.
- 1:38That's what I'm getting because that guy two years ago caught everything. It
- 1:42was a fabulous player. But he's been hurt for two years. So and
- 1:45I know you've talked about wanting to get him to the starting line for sure,
- 1:48get him back to playing again. Yeah, and you know what you
- 1:51gotta get. We gotta get through five practices and he's at the starting line,
- 1:55and we you know, he's done a really good job. Our players
- 1:57have really done a good job of making sure they kind of take carry him.
- 2:00He's ready to go and it's gonna be fun to watch him play.
- 2:04But we added We lost a couple of good players in Keelan and At,
- 2:07but we added some really fine players. You know, Brett Buckman who's a
- 2:12transfer, and Jordan Porter who's a transfer. Starters Careator is on a state
- 2:15is a really good player. The fastest guy on or put team. He's
- 2:17a six to almost two hundred pound guy that can run and catch. James
- 2:21Burns a little speedster, uh, you know. And then some of the
- 2:25guys, you know Cam you know it's gonna help us and Casey Keelan's Clarcius,
- 2:30he's you know, improved, and then Kylie's Hicks, who was a
- 2:34freshman last year and really didn't play because he was hurt early in camp has
- 2:38come on. So aside from the practice you were at, I think they've
- 2:42looked pretty good and I'm excited about him, you know. But the number
- 2:45one thing you have to do as a receivers. First of all, you
- 2:46have to know what to do and they you need to catch the ball.
- 2:50That's important, right, Yes, it is ball. I remember high school
- 2:53coach telling me, if you don't catch the ball, go on the sideline
- 2:55and don't come back, or just go over to defense. Yeah whatever.
- 3:00Yeah, they sent me to defense for a while until I figured out I
- 3:01could catch the football. All right, Jim Moore with us. We're going
- 3:04to talk the safeties and a few more things Yukon football, and we return.
- 3:07This is the Yukon Football Coaches Show on Liar Fields.
