• 5:06
  Speaker 2: them on.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: I was out there.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I so I live now close enough I can see
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the press box in the stadium. I went like, I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: did the double take. I went like, wait a second,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: noticeably brighter. Noticeably. It's kind of like when you're driving
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: on the interstate at nighttime and they're doing that nighttime construction.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: You know that lights, you know what I mean? Like that,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that's a different lights, different light. That's a different light.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I went like, whoa, it looked like another planet like
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: had coming on top of the stand and like finally
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: we got rid of the yellow mustard. Yeah, and it pops.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So the new Muscow lighting lights.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Worked out of Iowa. But they now the next piece
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of that is going to be when they start tinkering
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: around with the different colors of the lights. Last night
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: we were just going standard, you know that hop so they
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: can make some gold, blue, red, green, yellow.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Orange flash flash.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: That's cool.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: So when GG, when GG goes in from forty three
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: yards out, tight roping down the right sideline right and
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: goes into the end zone, instantly, that stadium is going
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: to go dark and it's going to go.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Pulse this year.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I was like that for the Bowl game
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: down in Charlotte. Oh cool, lights were flicking on and off.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So I guess that's gonna be something among
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you guys. Like in the locker room, you guys start
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: talking smack and go like, yo, who's going to make
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the lights flash this week? That would probably be right.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You're like, I don't know how many times have you
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: made the lights flash? Jahan, Hey CJ. Four times? I've
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: made the lights flash. What's up with you? I think
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: everything is about making you know, pac Man Fox, he
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: needs to make the lights flash.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there he does.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: You've been making news since the last time you were here.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: You went down to Thibodeaux, Louisiana, Nichols State manning camp
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: where the biggest of the big boys are throwing that football.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: So let's walk through that a little bit. Firstly, it
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: is truly a camp for younger guys, and you and
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: other established quarterbacks across the country service kind of in
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: addition to the many mannings. And then kind of like
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: it happens oftentimes in these camps, at a certain point,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the counselors have a little competition. So oftentimes in basketball
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: counselors games are huge. The guys go back and forth
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: their play. So you had the opportunity to compete with
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: those other dudes, and things seem to go well, yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Through the ball, well that are in the yard. So
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: look good about it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: A little humble on that little humble on that may
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I read please hopy Yeah, I was going to say
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: details please thank you from on three dot com, very
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: reputable website. Right, It's not just like some mouth breather site.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: It's the real deal, and if you don't mind, I'm
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: just going to read a little bit. Twenty twenty four,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Manning Passing Academy brought many of college football's top quarterbacks
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to Nickel State University and Thibodeaux for a multi day
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: event that included the camp's annual Friday Night Lights competition.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: While the primary focus for the quarterbacks was serving as instructors,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the group also got to compete in a handful of
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: challenges under the lights of John L. Guidry Stadium, Cooper
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Manning on the microphone, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, kicking off
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: each event with their own throws. A group of more
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: than forty five college quarterbacks warmed up with a deep
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: ball challenge before jumping into the main event, three throws
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: ranging in yardage that require the participants to hit three
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: moving golf carts making a forty yard pass on the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: run in the kaboom net. Only three quarterbacks hit all
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: three moving targets. One took home the FNL Quarterback Challenge
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: title in a one ball sudden death competition that required
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the quarterbacks to hit one of the two remaining moving targets.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: The night then capped off with the cane challenge. Each
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: quarterback got one attempt to thrown a ball into a
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: basketball hoop from thirty yards out. And then that goes on.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: It lists a couple of quarterbacks and gets a little
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: bio on them and oh oh, and behold, what do
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: we have here? Garrett Green, West Virginia. When the quarterbacks
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: you know, chatted about who flashed during the event, one
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: name that continued to come up, I'm sorry, excuse me
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: was Green, And for good reason. The West Virginia starter
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: had a nice throwing session, working the intermediate and deep
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: game well. Relative to the forty plus quarterbacks who competed
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: in the event, Green made his case for one of
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the best in the Big twelve. And with some nice
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: throws also coming from Baylor's to Kwan Finn Iowa States
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Rocko backed in Houston's Donovan Smith, the new look Big
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: twelve is well represented at the Passing Academy. And they
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: don't list a ton of these quarterbacks in this story,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: like they list like seven or eight guys. And you
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: were one that made mention fistbump, good job, thank you.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: That had to make you feel like because you did
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of the work this summer. You know, we're
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: fundamentals trying to get better. So when you went out there,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: was there a noticeable difference in feel for you as
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: to how you were throwing the ball compared to the past.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: I think like, really, this whole summer, I really felt
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: a lot better. And a lot of the credit goes to,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: you know, my quarterback coach, David Morris down a QB
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Country and Mobile. I mean, I've been working with him
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: since ninth grade year in high school, so me and him,
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: we've kind of been been through been through it all together,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: and really felt like this last you know, five six
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: months have really really gone taken that next step together.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: And he was actually he's actually one that helps run
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: the manning camp down.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I was wondering I was gonna ask if he was there.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So he his the whole QB Country family, you know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: everyone from Charlotte to Birmingham to Denver. They just opened
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: up all them. They all come in and they all
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: kind of helped facilitate all the drills and stuff. So
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: it was great, great to see him again. It was
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: good to kind of be out there with all the guys.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: When you went out there and you started to do
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: these things and into these challenges. What was your mind set?
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: And then when you were done, what did you prove
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to yourself?
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think like it's kind of like a main camps,
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: like such such a great thing. You know, you have
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: a morning morning practice session with the kids, and you
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: break for lunch, and you have an afternoon practic session
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: with the kids, and you break for dinner. And then
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: after the second practice you go and you have like
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: they call it the passing magu which is like seven
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: on seven, so quarterbacks are playing wide receiver. You know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: it's it's a it's a great like learning tool for
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: for them to kind of know know what spots they
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: need to be in when they're not playing quarterback. But
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: then after that, that's when all the counselors went through.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: So like coming off the field and you're like, damn,
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: it's a long day, like I'm tired. But then as
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: soon as the lights get turned on, like all that
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: you kind of just like kind of tentry like a
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: game where like all right, let's I go play right now.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: But I feel like I did well. Balking out of
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: my hand had really good. The community helped. I love
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: when it's super humid, the ball gets tacky. That's the
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: best being is unbelievable, unbelievable camp and a great experience.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Can you notice the difference in those throws compared to
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: a year ago when you're making them? Can you can
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: you feel it? It's different?
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I definitely think like anticipation wise, and you know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: kind of accuracy is a lot better this year. And
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: again a lot of credit goes to goes to David Morris.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: What uh, what's it like as a fan when when
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: West Virginia's played in Iowa States, like all West Virginia
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: versus Iowa State and there's you know, but and when
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: you're there at the camp, I mean you're just guys, right,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: I mean you have a lot in common. You're all
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks trying to do well. So did you bond with
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: some of these guys?
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: I think it's very like it's a very unique thing
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: because like they house all forty of us in like
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: the student dorms there, and there's Florida a room.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Really Florida a room, Florida room. Manny is trying to
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: save a little cash.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: A couple of guys.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all the Manning brothers slept together too.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Actually great, you say that Arch Manning was one of
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: my roommates Brady Cook from Missouri and then Drew Pine
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: who transferred to Missouri and Drew Pine go way back.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: But it's, uh, it's really like a unique thing because
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: there's not too many people in you know, the whole
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: country that really know like what what it's like, you know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: being being the started quarterback and stuff. So it's kind
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: of cool to cool to being like the environment with
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: all the guys and kind of swap stories and you know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: share insights and stuff like that. I mean, you know,
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: obviously if we play each other, like obviously we're gonna
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: try and win, but you know, it's a really great
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: camaraderie to to kind of grow grow everybody.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you spent some time with Arch, was there
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Eli and Peyton time as well?
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so they they kind of had Elion Payton. They
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: kind of had a uh I guess forum on a
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: couple of days where you know, it was it was
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: all all this quarterbacks quarterbacks in the film room and
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: they were just you know, breaking out film, which was
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: super cool to to kind of hear how they how
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: they talk about the game because it's completely completely different
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: and you know that they see the game in a
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: different light. So just like all all the little small
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: things that you know, the average American or anybody just
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: it's just like part of the game. But like they
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: can tell, you know, which hands up on the d
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: lineman means the blitz is coming. Like it, There's there's
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: so many small things that that they can pick up
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: on pretty fast that you know, hopefully, hopefully one day
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: I'll get to did.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: They go through process like their week and how they prepared.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I've heard Peyton do that before. It's pretty remarkable. They
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: do some of that stuff too.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So that that's really what what I got out
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: of it last year was kind of their their set
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: process of how they watch tape, how they prepare for
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: a team. So really I started implementing that last year.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Was kind of had a set schedule that I printed out,
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: you know what I was watching Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: and Friday, and then Saturday morning, had you know, the
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: specific clips that you know I wanted to watch and stuff.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: So I really implemented that last year, which I think
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: did a wonderful job for me.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Big twelve Media Day you brought up rock O Beck's name.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: He also was at this camp, and you got this.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: There's this interesting little thing there, right, because he was
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: born and bred a Mountaineer fan because of his dad,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: and obviously he gets the call to go to Iowa State.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: He had a tremendous uh Freshmans scenes and so obviously
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: he impressed you as well. Yeah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: No, he can really throw it. And I feel like
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: our games are are pretty similar, you know when you
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: when you watch us both on tape. Yeah, he's a
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: great dude, you know, I know, I know. He comes
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: from a good family, So I'm looking forward to to
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: seeing him, you know, in late October.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, mom's from Clarksburg, so he's got these grew up here,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: you know, during summers and things like that. Physically, as
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: you guys get ready to go into camp, we oftentimes
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: kind of kid and joke. We say every time this year,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: no matter who you talk to, it doesn't matter what
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: year it is, this was our hardest off season we've
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: ever had. One two. Our chemistry is as good as
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: its every It doesn't matter. It could be the worst
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: team in the world. They say the same thing. Best
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: shape we've been in, best shape we've ever been. Coach
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: strength coaches worked is harder than they ever have all right,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: knowing that how the summer go, yeah, I.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Think hardest you ever had. You took all my answers. No,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: I think I think the summer went really well, you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: specifically from you know offensive SCOO group, you know quarterbacks
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: and wide receivers, uh, you know, really working hard with
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Jade and Bray and Justin Robinson. Those are two transferres
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: in here who who have played a lot of ball
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: in their lifetime, but really just making sure that us
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: two are me and them too, are all on the
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: same page with with all the route combinations, red zone,
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: open field, deep shots, all that stuff to where when
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: you know, when tomorrow hits, you know we're we're hit,
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: hitting the hitting the ground running and there's no no missteps.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: So one step further on, both of those two dudes
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: now now having thrown to them, how do you see
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: them in this offense? Are they deep threats? Are they
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: zone guys? How do you see them?
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: I think I think the beauty about you know, really
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: both of them is I think I think the day
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: of the ability to do it all.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: You know, Justin j.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Rob he's a big dude, and you know, I know
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I can put put put him up on the top
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: shelf for him specifically in the red zone. But but Jane, Jane,
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Brady's got unbelievable you know, ball tracking ability, and he's
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: a bigger body than than people think, so you know,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: I don't have to squint as hard when when if
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: I lead him across the middle too much because he's
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: a thicker guy and he can take some hits. But
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: both both of them are really specially with the ball
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: in their hand, and they kind of they kind of
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: know the spots to be, you know when when when
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: you're talking about defense and you know, stuff like that,
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: they kind of know know the spots where where they
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: have to be to get the ball.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Key to success is always having a super competitive room,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: no matter what the position is. So you bring those
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: two guys in and I would imagine that Hudson, Clement, Preston, Fox,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Traylon Ray pac Man Finds among others. So it's like, okay, guys,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: you guys want to compete, here's two other dudes that
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: So I would imagine each of those guys have had
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: to ramp it up as well. Those super young guys
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: from a year ago that were forced to play early.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: How have you do you see them taking next steps?
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, you know, I think I've said this before,
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: you know, even dating back to winter, I think Hudson
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: Clements had one of the best offseasons I've seen. He's
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: really taken you know what coach Mike says. He's really
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: taking that to heart and really implementing everything that that
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: coach Mike has has in store for us. So I'm
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: super excited to to, you know, see what he does.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: But really with with Treylon Ray and Rodney and stuff,
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: you know, being being a year in the system and
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: kind of knowing knowing what to do, I think that
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: pays off more than you know bringing guys in because
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: now they don't have to go through the growing pains
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: of you know, you know, day one install, you know,
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: making mistakes on that install. You know, we can wait
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: till day ten, you know to make those mistakes. I
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: think that practices will be a lot cleaner with them,
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: you know, especially right off the bat.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Given all those receivers in the experience when you just
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: mentioned they're all taking stuff forward. Cole Taylor, but in
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: your ear yet making sure you don't drop his number
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: of targets down, like he's still needs balls. You got
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to find him.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's my roommate now, so he's.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Cole Taylor thinking there.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: So he's been hitting you.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so we we we've been throwing a lot, you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: in the evenings and stuff before, you know, because you
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: can't play golf in the dark. So the next best
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: thing to do is, you know, go go throw some routes.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: So we've been working a lot. You know, I missed him.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: I missed him way too many times last year, Like
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know how how I overthrow a six to
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: seven tight end. But you know, hopefully that doesn't happen.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: Happened this year.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Well, it takes time. I mean, you got to get
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: a feel for where he is. I mean, you're in
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: all seriousness. I mean, he could have a heck of
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: a year now that he's got a feel for you.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: You've got a feel for him. And I tell you what.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Knowing it from the West Virginia perspective, Mountaineer fans will
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: always type man tight end. It's like they leave a scar,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Like when tight ends catch a ball, they just leave
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: a scar. Because the game's going on, running backs are
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: running it receivers are catching it and then just every
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: once in a while, that tight end hitching. All of
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: a sudden, he's tracking down the field and you go
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: like uh, and they're they hurt more.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Last year, I know you said you overthrew him, but
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: he had he had a great year last year. That
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: was a that was a bona fide weapon. So that's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: gotta just kicking even more this year.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he had a good year, but you know, I think,
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: especially you know, there were a lot of games in
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: the year where I didn't do a good enough job,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: you know, getting him the ball, because he really is
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: a special player. Even though I hold my breath every
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: time he goes airborne.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot up there when he goes, when
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: he jumps up, there's a lot of things as.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: A long way down too, and he's.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah there's a picture from from one of the games
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: and he's eleven feet off. But all seriously, you know,
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: he's a phenomenal player. You know, he's a lot more
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: athletic than you know, I think people think. And you know,
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: I think he's gonna gonna have a hell ofy year
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: this year.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: There's that play that you all run. It seems like
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: it's it's a go to when you need six or
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: seven yards where you're rolling out and he's blocking, then
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: he's going out in a flat I mean that's what
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: is a play that's like a rock solid play.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's one of our go to RPOs. It's kind
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: of it's kind of it's kind of the new age
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: triple option if you would, you know, there's a run
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: read and then you're kind of in and outing the
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: flat defender, whoever it may be. If it's a safety
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: of it's a will you know whoever? That is kind
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: of play off both of them. So there's no I mean,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: there's ways to stop it, but it's hard. You have
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: to you have to sell out for to stop that.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: So I think that's just the new age, new Age
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: triple option.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is your last go around, so your last
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: off season conditioning here. Have you had moments where you
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: think back to what it is that you're doing right
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: now and think back of the super young Garrett Green
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: that came here as a you know, earlier than a
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: high school graduate. Did you think about that?
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: I think just like even like looking at like you
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: know body or you know, strength numbers and stuff, you know.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: I mean I came in at probably one hundred and
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: seventy three pounds. If if I'm being you know, helpful
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: to myself, you know, now I'm over two hundred. So
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: I think that's just a testament to what to what
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Mike Joseph's done, you know, his whole entire staff. And
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: then also our interest is Haley and Bailey. Really the
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: last two years they've done a great job and you know,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: kind of forcing me to to not just eat like
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: calorie dense foods, but also be smart with with with
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: the calendar dense foods and you know, getting the right
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: stuff in my body.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oliver Straw was here with us recently. We talked
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: about running law school hill and I said, like, who's
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: the lead dog? And he said, most of the time
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: it's Garrett. So was that always the case, like when
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: you were a freshman, were you winning those things or
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: is that something that as time has going on, you're
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: going like, I'm winning this thing.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: No, I mean as a freshman. I mean Bryce Ford
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Wheaton was in his third year here, and there's a
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: little the our strides are different. No, so Bryce, Bryce
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: always flew up the hill, you know, Bryce Sam James,
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: all those guys, they all used to just fly up
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: the hill.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: I think part of that is just that they were
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: a lot stronger than me, because you know, the hill
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: it's it's a tough cardio workout, but it's really about
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: you know, lower leg strength because that that's the first
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: to go. Like you, your breath will come back, but
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: then your legs are still going to be shot. So
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: I think like as as I got my legs stronger,
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: and as I got to a point where you know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: I could move some weight in the weight room, you know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: I think that's when that's when I started to get
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: up the hill faster.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: You have a unique way of coming down the hill.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: What's what's your what is your thread? Yeah?
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: No, I don't know who did it when I was
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: a young guy, but they went down the hill backwards.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: What Yeah, So like you basically just like walk backwards
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: down the hill. Why because it save your quads, because
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: your quads are the first thing to go, Like, that's
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: the first thing to go, and then it's your your
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: glutes and your hamstrings. Okay, so I want to put
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: his butch straight on the on the Hampshire glutes early.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: So a message to the young guys out there. If
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: you guys listen, go down the hill backwards.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: It'll help you out.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Interesting to have a message to the young guy. The
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: important part of that comment was message to the young
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: guys like don't don't go over there and try to
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: do that. No, nor should I reason.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: I mean you can probably put in reverse, like put some.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Stress on you.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I tell you that. I tell you. That's what we've
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: been up for in about twenty five minutes so far,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: almost twenty five minutes. I'm happy that Garreton Hoppy haven't
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: gotten it on a little bit here.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Well, well, they Dave grew and sent me a text
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: earlier today, miss did he said, he said, you know,
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: be on edge for for Hoppy over kind. I knew it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: I was breaking myself into you know what.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not defending you. You got on me, So go ahead,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you're on your own.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: I do have something for you, but I want to
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I want to hold back on it. What do you mean,
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: I just I want to hold back.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's what's different?
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: You said?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: The condition is different, your better shape. What was different
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: about your off season this season after the year you
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: had last year? Not just being the starter and knowing
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: you're the starter going in just as great as season
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: as you had. What was different about your off season
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: this year?
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: You know, I think like not not too much changed,
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: you know, from from a workout perspective and a conditioning perspective,
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: but I think like really just focusing more on, you know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: the technical side of of playing this position, because I
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: think I think last year I was more so worried about,
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: you know, getting completions and being on the same page,
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: which that's still that's still a major point of emphasis.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: But you know, I think really just looking at the
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: technicality of playing this position. I think that was a
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: big one where you know, maybe I wasn't throwing full
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: speed comebacks to guys, but focusing more more on my footwork.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: So I think that that was a huge, like drastic
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: change from from this offseason the last.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: How about off the field stuff, not football preparation stuff,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: but just your your regular life. More people wanted a
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: piece of you, more people talking to you, more people
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: dealing with you when you're out to do that change.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: I mean a little bit, but you know that that's
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: the beauty about this about this state. You know, I
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: love interacting with the fans, you know, because we're we're
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: the professional team here. Uh. And that's that's the part,
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: part of the reason why I fell in love with
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: the state. So I really really like life outside hasn't changed,
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm just trying to eat more. That's That's
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: a big one.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: But hang around with us. That for is is coach Brown?
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Is he calling plays again this year?
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: Sir?
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, So now, now are you at the stage where
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: when he's calling? I mean, do you kind of know
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: what he's gonna call?
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, are you are you talk about that.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: He throws his curveball sometimes, but you know, just kind
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: of knowing how he how he calls plays. You know.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Now now we're in the you know, the headset stuff.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: You know, I can kind of I kind of know
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: what he's trying to get to.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: If you have the headset this year, yeah, well you will.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we we had it all spring.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: So now if he's at work, yeah, so let's talk
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: about that for a second. This is a fascinating new
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: part of this because you have that on up until
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: what thirty seconds fifteen fifty so that takes it a
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: long way up and I know you don't know exactly
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: how you're going to do that, But where do you
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: think that helps you the most? A returning starter, you
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: understand the offense, you're talking to your head coaches, the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: play caller. Where does that help you the most?
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it will definitely help us play faster
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: because you know, if we call like tempo play and
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: I'm you know, chasing the ball and I don't have
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: to chase the ball looking at the sidelines trying to
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: get the signal, I can just kind of listen and
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: go to line scrimmage. But then it'll be good to
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: kind of have you know, a streamline of communication between
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: between Coach Brown and I, like either if it's like
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: a two minute drill and he's like all right, like
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: if this isn't there, throw it away, We'll take another place.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: So I think there's there's some nuances where you know,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: it would be really helpful, but I think for the
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: for the majority of the game, it'll just be regular. Yeah,
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: it'll just be regular.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Is there enough time to talk? Maybe not coverages, but
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: people that you're trying to identify. Is there help with
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that or you've already got that you won't need that. Well,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: it's just one way you can talk to him because
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: he's not talk right, but he can be pointing stuff
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: out to you, like keep an eye on.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: After he cause the play. He can you know either
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: you know, give me, give me a reminder, you know
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: something quick, which which we've talked about.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Can you do that at the line though, because you're
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be all You're gonna be at the line
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: looking Yeah, he can you expect him to be talking
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: to you about Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: I mean hopefully he's not like, you know, just non
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: stop in your out vomiting. But but no.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: By the way, Garrett watch safety because he's.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he's not a mouth. He's gonna
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: be like, yeah, Garrett watch his safety high well more.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Like that sometimes sometimes in in springball, like there's a
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: button on his on his head said that that he
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: has to hit to cut that cut the mic on
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: out there. But you have to I think you have
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: to hit it again to cut it off. So we'd
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: be he'd be screaming the next personnel, like right into
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: my ears.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: But we got that worked out.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: We got that ironed out. But no, I think it'd
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: be great for the game.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I give him credit. I mean, right, I coach little kids.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I definitely it.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I don't shut up. I'm constantly now again, it's not
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: a guy that's established like that, that knows what he's doing.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: But can you mouth? You can't shake him off, can you?
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: I mean sometimes I can just all right, I got
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: I gotta got it because I mean, like, I'm pretty
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: comfortable in the offense where if I hear the play once,
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: I got it.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: But would you? But I guess what he's asking is
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: if you if Neil calls a play but you see
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: something else, you're checking it out and going like, yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I gotta go do this.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: Well if if I check it at better score.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Exactly, that's the price, seriously.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because I mean if it works great, If it's.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Not, you're to get in a horrific situation.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I probably won't. That's that's his forte. You know,
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: that's how he's buttered his bread. So I'm just kind
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: of gonna run what he calls.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Describe him, Characterize him. What do you think his philosophy
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: of calling plays is? How do you how do you
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: characterize him?
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: I think aggressively intelligent. I think that's that's a word
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: I would use to describe, you know, his play style
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: because we do take shots, but we're also not you know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: we're not running, you know, like all verts on you know,
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: a fourth and one, you know. So I think he
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: wants to be aggressive and he wants to you know,
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: push the ball on field. But I think it all
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: starts starts without a run game and you know, just
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: finding different ways to get to our run games.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: You know, people try to buttonhole him as an air
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: raid guy, but I think he's shown No, he's not
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: an air raid guy. I think by the way.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Aggressive power five and rushing last year, I think that's
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: off now.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Right, So aggressively intelligent. Maybe a super good T shirt
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: for episode eight hundred dot com right, I think that hoppy.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I could see you wearing one that says aggressively intelligent.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: It probably doesn't apply to me, but I mean it
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: would work for others. What is it? This is a
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: technical question. What's the what's the quality? Okay? Is it?
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: What's the quality? Is it? Like? Like, is it very clear?
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Do you have to it's pretty clearly you're asking that
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: because the demonstration at the Bowl game last year sounded
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: like Charlie Brown's teacher. Yeah, yeah, it was not good.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Before the game, they did a demonstration trying to put
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: the microphone in the helmet. It didn't sound right. So
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: it's clear you got it.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty clear.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Other than sixty thousand people yet the.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: Cover of you know my ears to be able to
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: hear it. But it's for the most part, it's pretty clear.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Got it.
• 31:42

  Speaker 3: That is his it's like a time machine.
• 32:57

• 33:23
  Speaker 2: our game day grind, we're part of that, right. Yeah,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: we were so were happy. So I guess we were
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: the official hangars On. We're the official jet Propulsion Center
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: of Charles Wesley Godwin's summer fast. Well, I appreciate Charlie.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, hey, Charles could drink a lot of different
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: types of coffee, He's all over the country, and instead
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: he uses mountaineer roasting, game day grind, so we think him.
• 33:46

• 33:49
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be back in five minutes.
• 33:52

  Speaker 1: By the way, that shirt Hoppy has on available at
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: episode eight hunter dot com. That's another nice new Peter Malar. Yeah,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: that's another often right there.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: As as you get ready to start practice and these
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: pieces are coming together, chemistry is huge, huge, huge on
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: a team. What will you do to try to be
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: a leader. What will you tell the other guys your
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: age group? What do you guys need to do to
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: bring the rest of the guys together. Like last year's
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: group was pretty dog gone, good and tight.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think like pretty much the big thing is
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: just you know, spending time with each other, you know,
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: whether it's you know, eating at the training table, you know,
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: not not being on your phone, not really putting an
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: emphasis on you know, having and having and building those
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: connections you know, with with with everyone top to bottom,
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: whether it's you know, a freshman that just got here
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: or it's you know, a six year guy like Yates
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: from alone. Really getting those connections, you know that you know,
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: watching film together, you know, learning together, going through installs together,
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: really just doing a lot of things together that I
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: don't naturally create, right, you know, the chemistry on the field.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: If you see a table full of freshmen defensive players,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: do you make a noticeable decision to go over and
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: just like sit down with them? Because I would imagine
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: if you're a freshman, right and you're on the other
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: side of the ball, so they're not gonna have a
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: ton of contact with you, and they see you walking around, Okay,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: that's that's the dude. Like, you could do a heck
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: of a lot of good by going over there and
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: goes so fellas sit down there like that could be huge.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: If those guys don't do that, then it starts to
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: create walls.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: I think, yeah, no, And you know, I mean, you know,
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: as a program, we all have this goal of you know,
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: trying to win the Big twelve, trying to get into
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: the playoff, and you know, I think everybody needs to
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: be bought into that goal, whether it's you know, academics
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: or you know the scout team players or nutrititness or
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: strength and conditioning. Right, everyone's goal has to be to
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: I know, I don't know who's president when when we
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: put the first man on the moon, but.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Nixon Hoppy administration. When the first man went on the mood'd.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Be nineteen sixty nine, would that'd be Nixon sixty Yeah, yeah,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: in nineteen sixty nine.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: So like they got kicked. I got kicked out of
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: the room that night. Seriously excuse me. Yeah, so guy
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: walks on the moon happy you can check this, uh
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: something massive. Was a Sunday night, and I'm jacking around
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: like those defensive backs right, chatting all the time, and
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: like I was making too much noise, and I got like, oh,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: they red.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Carded, didn't recognized the event.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Gave home. Yeah, I was in my house. They red
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: carded me, so they didn't even give it. They didn't
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: even go to yellow.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: See as you were disrupting the process.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, jacking around, talking too much. They just gave me
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: yere out.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: This is history.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Shut up, yeah, exactly, get out of the way, going
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: back to history. Sorry, go ahead.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: They asked, that's the custodian, you know who's cleaning up
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: after everyone's done working. You know, like, what's like, what's
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: your job here? And he's like, I'm here to put
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: a man on the moon. So I think having that,
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: you know, continuity and you know everyone bought in the
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: same goal is is really really really good for us.
• 37:08

  Speaker 2: Yeah, think about this guy's and Garrett'll kind of go
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: like was the game in black and whiter color? But

  Speaker 2: fifty years ago?
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Oh I was there, jeez.

  Speaker 2: Nineteen seventy five. So that's that. That's amazing. And these things,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: you know, they stand out and these marks are made right.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: So the things that you're doing, like have done so far,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: plays that you've made, plays that you will make as
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: this season goes on. These are things that people literally
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: in West Virginia will talk about twenty and thirty and
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: forty years ago. It's just it's just kind of amazing
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: how that all works. Have you given much thought at
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: all to the new opponents that are going to be

  Speaker 2: in the league this year? And you know, we had
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: a long trip out to long It's whatever, Arizona and

  Speaker 2: Yeah, how'd your dad enjoying this new role with the Brewers.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: He's loving it. He was actually just down here, uh
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: you know these last these last couple of days, and
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: you know, he's really really loving it. You know, in
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: in May I got to, you know, especially earlier year,
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: I got to shoot up and you know, watch him
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: playing in Baltimore, right in Pittsburgh, and then you know,
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: I ended up at the tail end of our our
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: summer break going to uh Finway to watch him, which anyways,
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: the you know that that's one of the coolest stadiums
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: I've ever been in, the best baseball stadium by far.
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: I tried to find his signature in the Green Monster,
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: but it was it was decades go.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: So yeah, for those that don't know, Garrett's dad is
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: the bullpen coach of the Milwaukee Brewers organization.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, I hope that that the boys
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: are playing well. Yeah, really four and a half or
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: five games up in the NL Central right now, so
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: hopefully keep playing good ball. But no, he's loving it.
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: What's your dad say about schemes? Did y'all talk about schemes?
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's just he's he's a he's a donkey. He's huge,
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: it goes hard, and his fastball does some do some
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: weird stuff that that's hard for guys to hit. So
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's really any like secret to why
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: he's had you know, this much success early. You know,
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: I think he was ready for it, you know, coming
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: to LSU and you know, hopefully he doesn't pitch well
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: against the Brewers even though he was he no hit
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: the Brewers through seven last time that he pitched against him.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: No, he's funny, gotta watch, Yeah, three guys before the
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: game with Garrett Green. So at Big twelve media days,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: it's a day long thing. So like you're roaming around
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: and you've got your posse of West Virginia guys. And
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: is the intent to remain cordial at all times with
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: opposing players or is there any like back in the
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: high school days where a guy kind of gives the
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: old side eye any of that at all? Or was
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: it all very collegial and gentlemanlike?
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not really, you know, I mean, I think I
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: think there's a time and the place for all that.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: I think guys, guys understand that that you know, when
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: we're talking to camera, we're talking to people, you know,
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: there's no it's all chilled. Yeah, there's no real need
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: to be like that because you know, karma's karma is real.
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: But yeah, no, there there's no no, it's just where
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: you know, there was any any sort of animosity or
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: you know, anything like that. It was it was a great,
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: great event and that they did well. The TMOA basketball
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: is staying at the Bilascio too.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did you see anybody any of those guys?
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we Joel Embiid was walking out of the elevator
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: when we were.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Speaking of big dudes.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a big dude.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: That's a donkey in the half heed what oh absolutely
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: why it's six seven six six.
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: It was one of the crazier things. Anthony Edwards was
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: walking through the lobby, which was cool. And then uh
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: the guy from the Thunder uh Shake Gilge was Alexander.
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah he was there. They're they're big, those guys are huge. Yeah,
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: but no, it was cool. And I think they played
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: Team Canada the night they did.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah they did. Yeah, absolutely, that's that's super neat. And
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: just think about these think about the experiences that you've had.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Chambers Elite, you went Overseas with that,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: you get to go to media Day, You're seeing these things,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: You're be in these places. I mean, like, what a
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: perfect setup. Educationally, You're all set up. Things are all
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: good and you're gonna play ball.
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's there's no place I'd rather be. And I'm,
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: you know, super happy that I made this decision. I'm
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: aging myself here happy.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: What the heck isn't I mean age Finally you get
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: to open your dog gone season against the Power five,
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Power four, whatever they're gonna call today at home. That's
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: got to be such a relief. Right, it's been pitt
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: It's been Penn State, it was right, it was Maryland
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: before that. I mean, finally, how does what does plane
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: a name brand school to start a season which hardly
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: anyone does. What does that do in this camp you're
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: about to begin? What's that mean?
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I think you know, it's first of all, it's
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: a great opportunity for you know, our program, you know,
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: because there's some other games on. But it's not like
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: it's a you know, a Week eight game where there's
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: right Power five on Power five, you know, up and
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: down the board. You know, there's a few Power five
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: games going on that Saturday. So I think there would
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: be a ton of eyes on a ton of eyes
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: on the Mountaineers the way, you know, I think would
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: be great for for all already involved.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: How do you control yourself? How do you control your
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: team so that emotionally they don't get too too high
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: and splurge it all before they ever get onto the field.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: What's the there's a there's a fine line and having
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: great energy and emotion and not going off the course. Yeah.
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: I think for me, you know, I love to listen
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: to country music before the game. That that's all. I
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: don't listen to anything like up tempo or anything. I
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: kind of just keep it, you know, get some George Straight,
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: some Keith Whitley, people like that to kind of mellow
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: me out a little bit, because you know, I don't
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: think it's a secret, but you know I can run
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: hot at times, it's been saying, and and you know,
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: just expend too much energy, you know, too early. So
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: really just listening to to country music before games and
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: then just trying to try to calm down, deep breath,
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: and you know, just go out there and play.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Let's talk personnel here for a second. You're at the point,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: your team's at the point. There were so many guys
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: that we know coming back on offense, not just SKO guys,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: offensive line guys. Give us a name or two. At
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: the risk of offending everybody, you don't mention, so I
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: get it. Give us a couple of guys that maybe
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: we're not talking about now that you think we will
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: be by the end of the season. Offensive side of
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: the ball, can be skilled, can be lying.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: Can be anybody.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Mmmm who's impressed you.
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: I think Greg gen Ross, the new tight end, big guy. Yeah,
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: he's he's kind of built similarly to Cole. I think
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: he's I think he's gonna I think he's got a
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: chance to to really help us out this year.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: And then.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: You got a couple of young linemen in there that
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: have impressed, right you. Co can probably name two or
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: three of those guys.
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know Kyle altooner Is. You know,
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: he's a strong guy, and you know, I'm looking forward
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: to to seeing how he plays this year. And then,
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: you know, I don't want to talk about one of
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: my really really really close friends, but Nico, you know
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: what I mean. I hope, I hope he doesn't have to,
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: you know, come in like a pick game last year.
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: But really, his growth from you know January to then
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: the last season to now really really has been, you know,
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: kind of night and day. Just his maturity level, you know,
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: how he's handling himself, taking care of his body, you know,
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: working on things he needs to work on. I've been
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: super proud of him this this offseason.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: That's neat, neat to watch it. You see a little
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: bit of you and him as far as learning the
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: ropes of what you need to do.
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: I think I think what year's he going into too
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: this year?
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Three?
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Three three?
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think year he was further along in year
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: two than I was. I think, and you know, I
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: think he's gonna be gonna be a great player for
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: the Mountaineers.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: In your mind. What's his offense look like when it's cooking?
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: What's this offense look like?
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: I think explosive? You know, I think if you look,
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: you know, across the board, Uh, we have guys that
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: can that can be special with the ball, and you
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: know that's that's kind of know what what we're priding
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: ourselves on is being special with the ball, you know.
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: I mean you can go up and down like Jeem
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: James got a chance to score every time to touch
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: the ball. Hut, he has a chance to score every
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: time he touched the ball. You know, I can keep
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: going on and on.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: You have the chance to score every time you touch
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: the ball. Most times you touchable.
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but you know, we just go up and
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: down about how how exposed our offense is. But I
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: think that all starts with with the guys up front,
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: you know, and all that's anchored by by what.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: What looks different for it Because last year that back
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: half of the season in particular. I mean you were
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: really cooking, throwing it deep, you were running the ball,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: multiple guys running the ball, You were running the ball.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: It was really clicking. What's the next gear for that?
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: I think just not years ago, not have any down games,
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: you know, because I think we had a good thing rolling.
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: But you know, we have to improve our red zone efficiency.
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: I think we were sixty percent in the red zone
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: scoring touchdowns last year and Kansas State was umber one
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: in our conference. Uh and they scored seventy eight percent
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: of the time in the red zone score touchdowns. So
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: I think we just have to, you know, either find
• 54:08
  Speaker 5: new schemes or you know, find different guys to put
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: the put the ball in their hands, you know, to
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: punch it in in the red zone. So I think
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: we can take that next step. I think our offense
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: can can also take that stuff.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: But it's fine tuning. I mean, you're fine tuning stuff
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: because you got the thing pretty well pretty well.
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: We have multiple we know, we know who can who
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: can do what with what you know, we we know
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: we know who's really really special with the ball in
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: their hands. So now it's just fine tuning, you know,
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: finding finding different in new ways to to get those
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: guys the ball happy.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Normally. Normally I shield my screen for me as you
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: try and steal my statistics each week, I will let
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: you you want to see this, I'm gonna let you
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: in on this I'm trying to care about. All right,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: here's so this is passing depth. This pro football focus
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: is passing depth.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, so this is big time throw. We talked about
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: this with you a lot last year. Big time throws
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: to find as what says the ability to to successfully
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: throw the all deep is not one that all quarterbacks possessed.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: So it rates big time throws here. They may not
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: turn into touchdowns or big plays, but the throw was there. Okay, Okay,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: look at look at where Garrett Green stacks up. Wow,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: you heard of Michael Pennox, Yeah, Drake May Yeah, Preston
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Stone returns for s m U and boom. Then there's
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Garrett sitting forth on a number of big time throws.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: But now also look at this. Look at the number
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: of drop backs of passes that went that far. How
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: few he had compared everybody else. Okay, So I say
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: all that to say this deep ball worked tremendously well.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: At times. For you had a great touch on the
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: deep ball. Do teams take that away from you first
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: this year and make you guys play underneath them? Do
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: you think you'll see more of that defensively?
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: I mean maybe, but you know a lot of our
• 55:46
  Speaker 5: deep shots and stuff came off play action, So you
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, depending on how how they want to want
• 55:52
  Speaker 5: to fit the run, you know. I mean if I
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: knew all the answers, that would be really so I
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: really don't know how they're gonna play us, but.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: It puts a ton of stress on those safeties, right,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: those safeties have to make a decision, Yeah you want
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: to come down and worry about this running game or
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: are you gonna stay back and let me go over
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: the top?
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: Yep. So it messes up with with the run fits
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: and you know other things like that. So I think
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: that's why play action is is so important. And you know,
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: again it goes back to being able to run the football.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: Do you have any new set of rules that you
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: personally have engaged in to keep yourself healthy as far
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: as running the ball, Because you've talked about how you've
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: matured from the called it the wild Mustang stage. Obviously
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: you need to stay on the field. Do you do
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: you do you now say, okay, go play another player,
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: get down. Yeah.
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: I think really from from UCF on, you know, I
• 56:39
  Speaker 5: felt like I took care of myself really well, and
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: you know it took you know, avoided hits that that
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: I didn't need to take, you know, I mean I
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: took a big shot against UCF and so I think
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: like really from that point on, realized like, okay, that
• 56:56
  Speaker 5: one hurts, so let's not do that again. But you
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: know that's a cool like you know, you have to
• 57:00
  Speaker 5: stand in there sometime, you know, in the pocket and
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: you know, take take some shots and looking down the barrel.
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: But you know, I mean the other the other eleven guys,
• 57:10
  Speaker 5: ten guys, they put their bodies online every play. So
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: at least I can do, you know, take a few shots.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: A year ago when you got ready to play Penn State.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: Penn State was a school at West Virginia had not
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: played literally in in a couple of decades, right like
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: in that twenty year ish mark something like that, more
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: than that, and so they had that brand, but you
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: hadn't sniffed them, tasted them, hit them, felt them. Now
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: you have how much will it be an advantage to
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: you having played them a year ago to go get
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: them play them again. There's a little bit of that
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: mystique go away this year knowing that they're just a team.
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: I mean a little bit. But you know, they got
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: they got a new defensive coordinator, so you know, the
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: defense isn't the same, right, but it is helpful that
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: that we don't have to deal with that that environment
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: up there because it happy value was crazy and you
• 58:00
  Speaker 5: know it was at as advertised. So you know, we
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: get to get them at home and you know from
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: our home crowd, which I'm looking forward to. But you know,
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: they're super talented teams, so I'm looking forward to the challenge.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: What's your message to Mounts your nation for what you
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: would like them to be like on that Saturday.
• 58:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just just be disruptive, you know, quiet down when
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: when the offense is on the field, but you know,
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: get as loud as you can, because you guys really
• 58:25
  Speaker 5: do really do make an impact on on the game.
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, the game that sticks out to me the
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: most is Virginia Tech in twenty one. That was that
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: was one of the loudest you know, I mean because
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: I was I was in the I was inside for
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: most of the pick game, so I couldn't really experience
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: that how I wanted to. But Virginia Tech especially that
• 58:45
  Speaker 5: you know, fourth fourth down, you know when when they
• 58:48
  Speaker 5: were when they were going to win the game. You know,
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: the crowd is deafening. So you know, just be disruptive
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: and you know, come help make a difference.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: You guys, you guys realize. I mean, now the practice
• 58:59
