  Speaker 1: Rangers for the foreseeable future. We have got a high
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: school report with Caleb. We are going to hear from

  Speaker 1: offensive lineman Wilkin Formby. We're going to hear from Ryan Silverfield,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the Arkansas football coach. We have the Clark Eisenhower outdoor

  Speaker 1: edition with some pretty nasty animals. And I'm excited to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: visit with my buddy Nick Streit from the Taos Fly
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Shop in Taos, New Mexico. That's coming up in the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: second hour of the program. College football weekend begins tonight,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: kind of. Western Kentucky visits New Mexico State. North Texas
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: at Tulsa. Two Jekyll and Hyde teams playing. I don't
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: know what to expect from that one. That will kick
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: off Thursday night. Tomorrow night, a couple of decent games.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You've got Pitt at Virginia Tech, two 4-0 teams in
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the ACC. And you've got Penn State and Northwestern, which
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is showing signs of life. The Nittany Lions coming off
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a loss. The Wednesday initial... Injury report shows Mario Craver
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: questionable for the game against Arkansas. Terry Buss, of course,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: out for the year. Ashton Bethel-Roman has been hobbled. Craver
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: is hobbled. That game set to kick off a little
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: after 6 o'clock on Saturday. Ross Dellinger is reporting. And
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the Sports Business Journal says, that conversations between ESPN and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: its conference partners have been tough sledding, trying to replace
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: revenue generated by events like the SEC Championship for a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: 24-team playoff. CFP leaders are close to expanding their talking
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: buyouts of conference title games and scheduling logistics of doubling
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the field from $ 12. We'll see what happens going forward.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Rice University has announced a 20-year naming rights agreement to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: rename historic Rice Stadium. You know they played a Super
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Bowl there, right? Pink Floyd has been there. The Eagles
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: have played there. Billy Joel and Elton John have played there.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: George Strait has played there. The Super Bowl was in 1974.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Capacity of 70,000. The new name goes into effect against
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: UTSA Saturday night. First community stadium. Crickets. San Diego State's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: football team is dealing with a mumps outbreak as it
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: prepares to play Texas State. A bulletin to San Diego
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: State students from the university said the public health services
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: had confirmed 14 cases and the outbreak right then when
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: it went out was confined to the football team. The
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Aztecs' availability report included nearly three dozen players, including 17
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: who were listed as doubtful or out. These are the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: kinds of things gamblers like to know. And this is
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a very interesting story. A few of Louisiana's Group of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Six football programs... need to drop down to the FCS level,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: according to one member of the Louisiana Board of Regents.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Shreveport attorney Wilbur Pryor called on Louisiana Tech, Louisiana, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Louisiana Monroe to take a slice of, quote, humble pie.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Those schools play at FBS levels where the cost to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: compete is high. Schools that are trying to play Division I,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: says Pryor, that's just a sinking hole trying to play
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Division I ball. I don't think much of the public
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: would know the difference if they all play at the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: same level, and it seems like they have to have
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a self-realization and put a humble cap on. Budget deficits
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: at each school are growing higher. ULM, $ 10 million. Louisiana Tech,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: $ 17 million. Louisiana, $ 20 million. That's nothing compared to LSU.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Where we have been told they owe between $ 50 and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: $ 60 million. So, we'll see what happens there. Major League
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Baseball deciding wild card game tonight in Atlanta. The Phillies
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and the Braves. Aaron Nola against Kerr. Yesterday afternoon, the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Braves forced a game three with a 4-3 win.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Meanwhile.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Three other teams advanced. The Yankees beat the Red Sox
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: last night 9-2. The Padres swept the Cubs 4-1 the final.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And the Disastros got beat by the White Sox 7-3.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Houston hasn't won a playoff game in like, I don't know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: 100 years. Chad Tracy, rookie manager. Pulled Sonny Gray, who
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't happy about being lifted after 70 pitches, said, Gray,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I think I'm the best pitcher in the American League
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: going through the order a third time. That's a fact.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I would have liked to have been trusted in that moment.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Tracy's decision came under fire after both games. Boston's 9-0
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: defeat a night earlier. He had pulled starter Peyton Tull
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: after 4-2 at 83 pitches in a 1-0 game. Again,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: when Gray left, it was a close game. And then
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: immediately afterward, it wasn't. And the Dodgers are going to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: play the winner of the Braves-Phillies. And the first two
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: games is in L.A. And they're particularly concerned because of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the heat. A day game is scheduled at 2 o'clock, nope,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: 1 o'clock L.A. time, Saturday afternoon, where temperatures are predicted
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to be 100 degrees. Weather officials say Saturday will be
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the hottest day over the course of the next week.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: In addition to heat, there will be humidity in L.A.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: The high calls for 98, clear skies. Hey, get used
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to it. 98 degrees. What babies. The Men's National Invitational
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Basketball Tournament will be shrunk from 32 to 24 teams
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: starting this next year. The new look format will see
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the championship game hosted in Detroit, site of the Final Four,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: on April 4th, my birthday. I think they did that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: on purpose. By the way, in lieu of gifts this year,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: just send cash. The NIT field has been set at
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: 32 since 26. Only four power conference programs competed last
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: year in the NIT, Auburn, Cal, Wake Forest, and Oklahoma State.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And the 2026-27 hockey season debut continues tonight with five
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: board games. We're getting ready for tomorrow night's Dallas Stars
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: opener in Dallas against the St. Louis Blues. In case
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you're keeping score, and most of you aren't, it will
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: be on TNT and True tomorrow night. I've already got
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: my popcorn ready to pop for that one, and I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: getting excited for the Stars opener. I don't care about
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I don't care about the Mavericks. The Rangers
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: suck and the Stars may keep me happy. I saw this.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: This is interesting. Starting tonight, There will be 61 straight
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: days of football between college football and the NFL. The
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: next day, date, without any football is December the 1st.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: We have two solid months. Well, you do. Some of
• 10:39

  Speaker 1: Just about to lose my mind.
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: If you're out.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Driving, please turn your headlights on. It's pretty dark. I
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: thought we were about to have about four feet of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: rain in ten minutes, as dark as it got. We've
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: had a little. I'm not going to look. I'm going
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to take everything we can get. I honestly... I've sat
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: here and watched it pour outside my window and not
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a drop at my house. And it evened out today.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: At lunchtime, I got a pour down for a few minutes.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going, where did that come from? So I was
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: all excited. And then I drove back to work and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: there was nothing at the time. I'm going, ha ha.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: But we've had a little rain. We can use a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: little bit more. Coming up in a little more than
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: an hour. I'm going to talk to my buddy Nick
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Streit up in New Mexico. When we were there this summer,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: it was brutal. The whole West was on fire, almost literally.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: New Mexico, Colorado. It looks like the remnants of this
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: hurricane in the Pacific have brought a little rain to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the Taos and the mountainous region and some of Colorado.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: We will talk to Nick about that coming up. Monday,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Writers' Roundtable. It's Overreaction Monday every week with Robert Cessna,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Rusty Burson. Tune in for that at 5 o'clock. We'll
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: have post-game react from the game on Saturday. Our coverage
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: will begin at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon with the pregame.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: And then we'll have the network broadcast. Then we'll have
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the game. Then we'll have the post-game call-in show with
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Louie and Dusty. So we got you covered on that deal.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the weather. You know, it looks
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: fairly decent. It looks like most of this stuff will
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: be gone by kickoff on Saturday.
• 15:15
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything that would suggest thunderstorms on Saturday,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: which is a nightmare. I talked to Dusty about that.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: What does it say now, Caleb? What are we seeing?
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Scattered thunderstorms. Oh, scattered thunderstorms. Late afternoon?
• 15:38
  Speaker 11: Mid-afternoon.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Mid, okay. But 6 o'clock?
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't know.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Hey, they don't know what's going to happen like at 4.30 today,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: so don't tell me what's going to happen at 6
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: o'clock on Saturday. The worst nightmare is like thunder and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: lightning and delay the game, right? You have people there
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: ready to go. Arkansas, like, they're going, hey, we hope
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it pours, right? I mean, they're the underdog. You want
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: play in in pouring rain and they will if there's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: no like lightning right thunder so they'll play in the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: rain um we'll we'll see how that works out you
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: know there's a front coming through but i'm not sure
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: it's clearing clearing until like sunday night monday look i'm
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: not a meteorologist but i could i could be you
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: understand what i'm saying It's apparently not that difficult. And
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the good news is I can make as many mistakes
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: as possible and still keep my job. Okay, let's do this.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: We want to hear, I'm going to hear first from
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the Astros manager, Joe Espada. You Astro fans know the stat.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I know it's been a while since they've won a
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: home playoff game. I do know that. And Chicago is poison, right?
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Chicago won the World Series against the Astros. I do
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: know that the Astros lost all four ACLS home games
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to the Rangers in 2023. I don't know if they've
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: won a game since.
• 17:33
  Speaker 12: ALDS home game against the Twins in 2023 was their last.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Home playoff win.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So that was... They did win a game against the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Twins in the Division Series. They lost all four to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: the Rangers. They haven't won a home playoff game since then.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I don't really. That's a weird baseball stat, and there's
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of weird baseball stats, right? That's really strange.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And then you had some player, like a third-string pitcher,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: criticizing the fans after game one, and it's like, come on. Okay,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: so let's hear from Joe Espada on the loss and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the series lost.
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: For me, listen, these guys, we're competitors, and we want
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: to win.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Every pitch, every inning.
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it was difficult. But again, I'm just proud of
• 18:38
  Speaker 10: how we fought. the whole entire time just to get
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: to this point. You know, this, they look completely different
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: in May and the way we got back and we
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: fought back and, you know, we set our goal to
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: win this division and we accomplished that. We wanted to
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: play deep in October. We, we came short on that,
• 18:57
  Speaker 10: but just to wait our guys stay together and we're
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: able to get this far. Extremely proud of our team.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: All right. That's the manager.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: And, Look, it was a slog in the AL West
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: from start to finish. I mean, for everybody. I have
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: said before, and well, I'm not going to talk about
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the Rangers right now. I'll talk about them in a minute.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: The Astros started out with injury situations. You know, it
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: was up and down. I frankly predicted they would win
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the West way back in, like, June because I thought
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: they were the best team the way the way seattle
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: was playing you know and um and i thought they
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: would win with 81 wins at 500 uh so i
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: was good there i should be betting um cam smith
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: who tried let's hear what he had to say post
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: game yesterday.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Uh baseball's over it sucks and.
• 20:10
  Speaker 13: I don't want to get emotional about it, but I
• 20:13
  Speaker 13: love these guys, man, and we'll be back.
• 20:18
  Speaker 14: How do you make sense of that first inning and
• 20:20
  Speaker 14: everything that's transpired.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Between you guys in a whole?
• 20:24
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it just seemed like they were putting together really
• 20:26
  Speaker 13: good at-bats. It didn't seem like they missed or chased
• 20:30
  Speaker 13: anything out of the zone. They were locked in, and
• 20:34
  Speaker 13: you can't really do anything about it. Try to play
• 20:36
  Speaker 13: good defense, but when they put together good at-bats like that.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: It's tough. But you guys chipped away, right?
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. And you felt that.
• 20:44
  Speaker 13: You felt that throughout the game. Kind of how we
• 20:48
  Speaker 13: approached all year. We kept battling no matter what. With
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: all the adversity, we keep battling. So, you know, if
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: you want to look at the positive, that's the positive.
• 20:57
  Speaker 13: The fighting back always.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Always. Never bowing down to nobody.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Look, they were down four out in the first inning. Uh,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Hunter Brown, their guy was terrible. Uh, sit here and
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: watch the yesterday afternoon and Ryan star who will be
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: on tomorrow. I commended him. We rode down the elevator
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: this afternoon. I commended him cause he called it. He
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: said yesterday, he told me I'm going home and watch
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Hunter Brown, give up four runs in the first inning.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And by gosh, it came just as he said it did. And, and,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: and God bless him for doing that. Uh, maybe he
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: had some inside information I didn't know about, but, um,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: It was fun day for all of us, I think. Now,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: speaking of no fun, we're going to hear from CY
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Chris Young. We're going to hear from Shoemaker. It just,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Chris Young can do given Ray
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Davis's stance on keeping the payroll where it is, which
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: is right in the middle. Most of the time, unless
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: you're the Mets, you get what you pay for. That's
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a whole nother issue. But, but most of the time
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: you get what you, but you, you pay for everybody
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: hates the Dodgers because they spend billions of dollars, but
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: guess what? They're winning.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And they may win again this year.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: They may, but they're winning. Um, The Rangers went all
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: in in 2023, and they won the World Series. Now,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: they gave out some bad contracts in the process. It's
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: killing them right now with Seager and DeGrom. I think
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: between those two, they owe $ 69 million, okay? They can
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: trade part of them, but they're going to eat a
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: lot of that contract, okay? It's not like they can
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: go out and get $ 69 million of new players because
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that's not how this is going to work. These two
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: guys have.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much value they have right now.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Probably the least amount of value in their entire career
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: between those two. DeGrom had a chance to be traded
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: during the trade deadline. He said, nope, I'm staying here.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I like it here. I would argue... that Arlington is
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: an easy place for players to play. I say that
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: because they don't have the scrutiny that LA has, that
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: New York has, that Chicago has. I mean, and that's
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: not an indictment on the media. There's just not many
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of them and they're not our Philadelphia. My gosh, Philadelphia, uh,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty easy place to play. I won't say
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: they're not held accountable, but there's not tons of booing
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: from these fans. I know that there are fans upset
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: because this team, since the World Series now, this is
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the third straight losing year.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: And I.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Don't see hope in sight. And I don't think the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: fans see hope in sight as long as Ray Davis
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: is going to keep the payroll where it is. Let's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: hear from C.Y. Shoemaker.
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: Obviously disappointed to be sitting here today and wrapping up
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: the season the day before the playoffs are starting. Going
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: into yesterday, we all felt good about The opportunity to
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: potentially be back in the playoffs and to have it
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: come to an end yesterday, it's been hard for all
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: of us. But nonetheless, it doesn't diminish some of the
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: positive things that happened this year. And certainly would like
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: to start by thanking Skip and the staff for their
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: work this year. The effort that they gave, I thought
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: was tremendous and was really, really pleased with the staff's
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: ability to squeezed just about everything they could from this
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: team this year. And so really, Skip, thank you and
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: your staff for all you did for our group this year.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: We have a lot to look forward to moving forward
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: with your leadership and the guys we have in that
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: coach's room with you. Secondly, our front office worked tirelessly
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: this year to try to give this team every chance
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: we could to compete. We knew coming into the season
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: that that we were going to be faced with some
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: challenges in terms of our roster construction that would maybe
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: make things a little more difficult. And, you know, the
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: margin of error would be a little bit thinner.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: That said, our.
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: Expectation was to compete and have a team that was
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: capable of being in the playoffs. And we fell short
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: of that goal. And it's, again, hard to sit here
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: today and rationalize why that was or what happened ultimately.
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: Those margins got thin, and when you combine that with
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: underperformance to some degree and the bad luck of health
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: and some significant injuries, especially even the last two weeks
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: of the season, it just made things difficult, and we
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: came up short of our goal.
• 26:23
  Speaker 15: I think that's what the most disappointing part of this is,
• 26:26
  Speaker 15: is sitting here at this table answering questions when I
• 26:29
  Speaker 15: think we should be playing next week or this week. And,
• 26:34
  Speaker 15: you know, I think the, you know, having guys like
• 26:37
  Speaker 15: Duran and Lats really take the next step was really encouraging.
• 26:41
  Speaker 15: And then a couple of guys not taking the next
• 26:44
  Speaker 15: step was discouraging in my seat. And so that's the
• 26:47
  Speaker 15: part we got to figure out of how to get
• 26:48
  Speaker 15: these guys better in the off season. And the couple
• 26:52
  Speaker 15: of guys that Evan mentioned, I thought there was, you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 15: some growing pains for a couple of the younger guys.
• 26:58
  Speaker 15: And there's a couple of guys that, you know, we,
• 27:00
  Speaker 15: They have to understand that playing time is earned, and
• 27:05
  Speaker 15: I think it's a big offseason for a lot of
• 27:07
  Speaker 15: these guys to come into spring training ready to earn
• 27:09
  Speaker 15: a spot.
• 27:10
  Speaker 11: I think it speaks volumes to a couple different things. One,
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: their resilience as players, and then Skip touched on earlier,
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: development continuing at the major league level, the ability to
• 27:19
  Speaker 11: bounce back maybe from early career struggles and find their
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: way with a great staff that's pouring into them, the belief.
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: I think it sets the example for us as, something
• 27:29
  Speaker 11: from the development perspective we need to continue to push
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: and we talked a little bit about you know the
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: lack of depth I think depth comes from a lot
• 27:36
  Speaker 11: of different areas obviously we speak internally to the depth
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: and with the last few cycles at the deadline when
• 27:42
  Speaker 11: we pursued players obviously it cost us maybe some of
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: that depth and created a little bit of a gap
• 27:46
  Speaker 11: year but our minor league player of the year our
• 27:49
  Speaker 11: minor league pitcher of the year are both upper level
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: prospects one of the top prospects in the game and
• 27:53
  Speaker 11: Sebastian Walcott is also at the upper level so I
• 27:56
  Speaker 11: think these guys and amongst others are going to get
• 27:58
  Speaker 11: opportunities at the major league level here soon. For some
• 28:02
  Speaker 11: of them, it may go well. For others, it may not.
• 28:05
  Speaker 11: The ability to bounce back and continue to develop at
• 28:07
  Speaker 11: the major league level is key to having success and
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: creating that extra layer of depth that we need to
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: produce as an organization.
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: Ultimately, I want to finish by saying a big thank
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: you to our fans. I know this is not the
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: result that we wanted, but that said, our fans were
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: tremendous this year. The support that we have received, The
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: people in the community who have reached out, the positivity,
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: even just walking through the airport and seeing people this
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: last week wearing Ranger gear with pride, it gives me
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: great pride to see that. And I just can't say
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: enough how disappointed I am that you all are not
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: watching playoff baseball this week with your Texas Rangers in it.
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: That said, we're getting a head start on the offseason,
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: and we're back to work already finding ways to make
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: this better.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: By the way, that other voice you heard was a
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: GM Ross Fenstermaker. along with Shoemaker and CY Chris Young.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I have said it repeatedly the last couple of weeks.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I will say it one more time before we go
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to the offseason and move along. When you fire a
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame manager and cut $ 33 million from your payroll,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: this is what you get. And The Astros are about
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: to clean house as well. They've already gotten rid of
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: their GM. I'm assuming they're going to hire a GM
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: and then get another manager. That's the assumption. I had
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: an Astros fan text me, we need to fire everyone,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and to which I replied can we have your Don
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: if you're going to do that we will take your
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Don beyond you beyond Ezekiel Duran honestly I don't know
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: who I'd keep on this team and Jacob Latz I
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: got two players I would keep on the team right now.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: And big game, Nate.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Foscue?
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: No, Navalny, not Foscue. Big game, Nate. Not named Foscue.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: That's good, though. Sevchuk Service Center. Hey, you know, when
• 30:18

  Speaker 3: Hey, Ryan Stolpen's studio. Yeah, what's up, guys?
• 32:52
  Speaker 20: I think he honestly, truly believes that Marcel can take
• 32:57
  Speaker 20: this team and win football games. And ultimately, I think
• 33:02
  Speaker 20: he's doing what he's supposed to do as a head
• 33:05
  Speaker 20: coach and defend him. And I think that they're just
• 33:08
  Speaker 20: trying to get some of those little things cleaned up.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Tex-Ax Live, brought to you by David Gardner's Jewelers.
• 33:13
  Speaker 21: Hang out weekdays from 8 to 11 on The Zone.
• 33:34
  Speaker 12: Welcome into the High School Report. I'm Caleb Rapley, and
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: today we are jumping out to the Polaris Fun Center
• 33:40
  Speaker 12: phone line to visit with the head coach of the
• 33:42
  Speaker 12: Waco University Trojans football team, Mr. Charles Foster. Coach, thanks
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: for joining me today.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: Thank you guys for having me on it. Yes, sir.
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: So your Trojans sitting at two and three on the
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: season just wrapped up non-district play. So getting ready to
• 34:02
  Speaker 12: start district scheduled next week against Brenham. But five games
• 34:07
  Speaker 12: of non-district play. So you're in a little bit of
• 34:09
  Speaker 12: a smaller district. Had some time to figure out this team.
• 34:13
  Speaker 12: Only three starters on offense and four on defense coming
• 34:17
  Speaker 12: back from a playoff team from a year ago so
• 34:21
  Speaker 12: what are what are some takeaways from the first half
• 34:23
  Speaker 12: of the season for you and uh what have you
• 34:25
  Speaker 12: seen from your trojans.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: You know i see um you know a lot of
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: players from the year before have stepped in and they've
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: done a tremendous job so far you know the the
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: opponents that we played um that we've lost to a
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: success only point team that sees teams like round rock
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: and um also west lake and lake travis um So,
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: you know, our kids are battle-tested, you know, when you
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: look at it, because the La Vega team that we
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: also play, they're 5-0, and Amarillo, King, and Reynolds are 5-0.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: And I feel like that's going to help us prepare
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: for district. So I know that, you know, being 2-3
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: before district is not a thing that you want, you know,
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: but we're very battle-tested, and we're ready for district play.
• 35:06
  Speaker 12: Back in February was UIL realignment, and your Trojans were
• 35:11
  Speaker 12: moved from District 10 in Region 3 over to District
• 35:15
  Speaker 12: 8 in Region 2, but it is the exact same
• 35:19
  Speaker 12: lineup of teams, Brenham, Rudder, Belton, Ellison, Waco, and of
• 35:24
  Speaker 12: course University. Same lineup of teams as it was in
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: District 10 from last year, so how big of an
• 35:30
  Speaker 12: advantage is it to have the exact same teams to
• 35:33
  Speaker 12: go up against and teams that you know from last year?
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: It's a huge advantage. It's always good to go against
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: familiar opponents because you've seen them the previous two years
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: and For URO to let us be in the same district,
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: it's good for us. It shows that consistency and also
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: shows that we've seen this opponent before. So we know
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: mostly they run the same offensive defense, but Belton, Coach
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: Mann and his staff are new, but everyone else stayed
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: the same.
• 36:05
  Speaker 12: So you're in your bye week this week with a
• 36:08
  Speaker 12: six-team district. Anytime there's even a number of teams, you
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: get the bye week in between non-district play and district play.
• 36:16
  Speaker 12: But it's a smaller district than a lot of these
• 36:19
  Speaker 12: that you see in 5A, only six teams. So you
• 36:22
  Speaker 12: get the entire first half of the season to really
• 36:25
  Speaker 12: prepare for the games that could send you to the playoffs.
• 36:28
  Speaker 12: So how big of an advantage is that for you
• 36:32
  Speaker 12: as a coach, especially in a year like this when
• 36:35
  Speaker 12: it's a pretty young team?
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're really young, and I will say
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: this– To have a bye week right in the middle
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: of the season is really good for us because we're
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: getting some guys that have been banged up from injuries.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: Those guys will be able to come back when district
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: play is. Rest, recover, just to have a good reset.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: That's very important for us. I feel like we are
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: taking advantage of it. It's been going well.
• 37:05
  Speaker 12: Here in the bye week, you do have the Brenham
• 37:09
  Speaker 12: Cubs on deck for your next game next Friday. Uh,
• 37:13
  Speaker 12: it's going to be a home game against Brenham. So
• 37:16
  Speaker 12: during this bi-week, how much time do you spend preparing
• 37:20
  Speaker 12: for your next opponent versus, you know, just working on
• 37:23
  Speaker 12: the things that you learned, um, over your non-district games?
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: We've first, uh, for the bi-week for a few days,
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: we tend to work on us. You know, we'll take
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: a look at Brenham, but we, you know, work on us,
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: work on our mental mistakes, work on things that, um,
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: That will make us better for district. It's always good
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: to get ahead of your opponent. That's what we're trying
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: to do. We all know Brennan's a really good football team.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: I think they're ranked number five in 5A Division II.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: It's going to be a handful, but our kids are excited,
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: especially playing those guys last year for this championship game.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: It's going to be a good game for us.
• 38:00
  Speaker 12: You are coming off of a playoff season, like I
• 38:04
  Speaker 12: mentioned earlier. and that was your first year as the
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: head coach for the Trojans, if I'm not mistaken. So
• 38:11
  Speaker 12: what's it going to take to continue that momentum from
• 38:14
  Speaker 12: 2025 and get your Trojans back into the playoffs and
• 38:18
  Speaker 12: keep your perfect streak of playoff seasons alive?
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: Definitely being consistent, make sure we take care of the ball.
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: The little mistakes, the little minimum mistakes, we've got to
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: clean up. The funny thing is, last year, You know,
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: a totally different team, but we were 2-3 in district,
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: and we ended up being dischamped. So hopefully that happens
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: this year, but we definitely need to fix on our
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: middle mistakes and don't get behind the yardsticks with penalties
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: and make sure we go up from there.
• 38:52
  Speaker 12: So last year, one of your big players on the
• 38:56
  Speaker 12: offensive side of the ball was your quarterback, threw for
• 38:58
  Speaker 12: over 3,000 yards, 31 touchdowns. A different quarterback this season,
• 39:02
  Speaker 12: so how difficult has that been, making those adjustments with
• 39:06
  Speaker 12: a new starter?
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, we already have someone come in. It
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: does get difficult, but, you know, he's taking in full goal.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: He's taking the coaching. He's stepped in, and, you know,
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: he's doing a good job for us. For anyone to
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: come in, not just him, for anyone to come in
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: and play the quarterback, the most vital position there is
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: can be Rocky Road. But other than that, he's been
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: doing a great job, and he's very confident in himself.
• 39:35
  Speaker 12: One player that is returning from last year's team is
• 39:37
  Speaker 12: your senior running back, Ray Brown Jr. Really leaned heavily
• 39:42
  Speaker 12: on him so far this season, over 600 rushing yards
• 39:45
  Speaker 12: and eight touchdowns. So how helpful has that been to
• 39:50
  Speaker 12: have that senior leadership on the team and have a
• 39:52
  Speaker 12: guy that you know you can trust with the ball
• 39:54
  Speaker 12: in his hands?
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Man, it's huge, man. Ray has been in this program
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: for four years. He's a three-year varsity at Letterman, and
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: the way he's carrying his workload, you know, he's the only,
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: you know, the main back that we have. Unfortunately, we
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: lost our other running back in the scrimmage. So he's
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: been taking the workload, about 25 to 30 carries a game, and,
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: you know, he's He's a workhorse, man, and I really
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: appreciate everything he's done for this program and continue to
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: do more. All right, Coach.
• 40:21
  Speaker 12: Well, I appreciate your time today. Good luck to your
• 40:24
  Speaker 12: Trojans for the rest of this season.
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir. Thank you all.

• 42:44
  Speaker 1: the more respected guides in that whole part of the country.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: And I always look forward. I fished with him this summer.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: He had, like, an event right after we got off
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: the river, so I didn't get to talk to him,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: which we usually do. We're going to talk to him now.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: which is even better because we will have some updates
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: on the end of summer and fall for you coming up.
• 43:10

  Speaker 21: The Houston Texans are back home Sunday in need of
• 43:56
  Speaker 21: a win after dropping their first three games of the season.
• 43:59
  Speaker 21: Week one, the defense struggled while the offense put up
• 44:01
  Speaker 21: 31 points, but the last two weeks, the offense scored
• 44:04
  Speaker 21: a combined 23. Texans quarterback CJ Stroud spoke on the
• 44:08
  Speaker 21: team's offense.
• 44:09
  Speaker 25: We've seen what we can be, I think, in week one,
• 44:11
  Speaker 25: you know, and then we, you know, not having some
• 44:14
  Speaker 25: guys out there for week two, definitely we felt their
• 44:15
  Speaker 25: presence being gone, but, you know, I think, you know,
• 44:18
  Speaker 25: we're still finding our identity. I think that's just the NFL.
• 44:21
  Speaker 25: Every team is finding our identity from week one and
• 44:24
  Speaker 25: to week six, you know, trying to see what they
• 44:26
  Speaker 25: can do, what they can't do. So, you know, I
• 44:28
  Speaker 25: think we're all trying to do that. And I think,
• 44:30
  Speaker 25: you know, Kels is warming up and he's doing everything
• 44:33
  Speaker 25: he can, you know, make sure that, you know, we're
• 44:35
  Speaker 25: getting our jobs done. And we also, we can help
• 44:37
  Speaker 25: him out too, you know, by running the ball better,
• 44:38
  Speaker 25: you know, being better on first, second down. So it's
• 44:41
  Speaker 25: not just all on him. It's on us as well.
• 44:42
  Speaker 25: So I think, you know, we'll all do our job
• 44:45
  Speaker 25: better and be better.

• 47:38
  Speaker 1: football season by Chad Jones-Law and Zwernemann Flooring. All right,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Saturday evening, 6 o'clock, ESPN2, and right here on The Zone,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: the Aggies and the Piggy people. A & M has
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: owned this series in this century, frankly. Aggies, 14 points
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: favorites or so going into the game, but they need
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: to clean a lot of stuff up, including the offensive line.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Here is transfer will conform be.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: Well, I didn't come here only in hopes to play tackle.
• 48:21
  Speaker 26: I came here for, one, to get developed, and that's
• 48:23
  Speaker 26: something that I've just been thinking about the past couple
• 48:25
  Speaker 26: of days. After playing some guard, my coaches kind of
• 48:29
  Speaker 26: just saw a need for me to play guard, and
• 48:31
  Speaker 26: that was the best for our team, and so I'm
• 48:32
  Speaker 26: obviously going to be very cooperative and supportive of their decision.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: I'd want to win.
• 48:37
  Speaker 26: That's what I came here for, and so to get
• 48:39
  Speaker 26: developed and to win games, and so I'm not a
• 48:41
  Speaker 26: selfish player. I'll do whatever it takes to win, and
• 48:43
  Speaker 26: so having the opportunity to play both tackle and guard
• 48:47
  Speaker 26: is good.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: Are you as comfortable playing guard as you are captain?
• 48:51
  Speaker 26: I will say I am. Just because I played so
• 48:54
  Speaker 26: much more tackle, I'm obviously a little more comfortable there
• 48:58
  Speaker 26: in guard. But just my past experience playing at Alabama,
• 49:02
  Speaker 26: I played a lot of guard.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: I played against a lot of.
• 49:04
  Speaker 26: Good players as well at guard, whether that was every
• 49:07
  Speaker 26: day in practice or against opponents. So I've been getting
• 49:11
  Speaker 26: really comfortable at guard almost to where I'm equally comfortable.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: What do you think of Lamont and how he played
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: the right tackle?
• 49:17
  Speaker 26: Lamont did really well. That was also a big part.
• 49:20
  Speaker 26: Shout out to him of me being able to play
• 49:22
  Speaker 26: guard is because he's doing a good job. And so
• 49:25
  Speaker 26: trying to find a way to get the best five
• 49:26
  Speaker 26: guys on the field. And so whatever that looks like.
• 49:30
  Speaker 10: Did you go back and play some tackle in the
• 49:32
  Speaker 10: second half, though, in that game?
• 49:34
  Speaker 26: Yeah, I played a little bit of tackle, but mainly guard.
• 49:37
  Speaker 26: And so really just take it week by week, you know,
• 49:40
  Speaker 26: whatever my team needs.
• 49:43
  Speaker 13: How good is that that Coach Christian can utilize you
• 49:46
  Speaker 13: wherever he sees fit?
• 49:48
  Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, I'm thankful for him and him as
• 49:50
  Speaker 26: a coach being able to prepare me to be comfortable
• 49:52
  Speaker 26: to play both because you only have so many practices,
• 49:55
  Speaker 26: so many reps, and so being able to be comfortable
• 49:57
  Speaker 26: to play both spots in a game versus really good players.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: Is a testament to my coach.
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: How do you feel like the offensive line is going
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: to do this better with you at guard?
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Man, I really don't know. That's a tough question.
• 50:08
  Speaker 26: I think that it really just depends on the opponent
• 50:11
  Speaker 26: and our game plan that week, but any way that
• 50:13
  Speaker 26: I can help our team be the best, that's what.
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: I'm all about.
• 50:17
  Speaker 23: What are the technical differences between right guard and right tackle?
• 50:22
  Speaker 22: Is it easier to play right guard even though you're
• 50:25
  Speaker 22: unfamiliar or it's not familiar?
• 50:27
  Speaker 26: There's things that are easier and harder that come with both.
• 50:30
  Speaker 26: I mean, playing guard, everything's a lot faster. Everything's on
• 50:32
  Speaker 26: you quick. So just being able to play, I'm a
• 50:35
  Speaker 26: really tall guy, so trying to stay lower and develop
• 50:39
  Speaker 26: myself in the.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Run game at guard as well. So that's something I've
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: been focusing on.
• 50:43
  Speaker 26: And luckily I've had a lot of good players that
• 50:46
  Speaker 26: I've played with in the past that I can kind
• 50:48
  Speaker 26: of call up or lean on for advice.
• 50:51
  Speaker 22: Have you seen kind of the offensive line grow over
• 50:53
  Speaker 22: these last few games?
• 50:55
  Speaker 26: Yeah, I think we're starting to form more of an
• 50:56
  Speaker 26: identity and just trying to establish more dominance in the
• 50:59
  Speaker 26: run and trying to be able to have the offense
• 51:02
  Speaker 26: lean on us a little bit more to be able
• 51:03
  Speaker 26: to run the ball. And then also just trying to
• 51:05
  Speaker 26: firm up our protection and give Marcel as.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: Much time as he needs to go through his thing.
• 51:09
  Speaker 10: Did you feel like there was some kind of issues
• 51:12
  Speaker 10: with the run blocking early in the season?
• 51:13
  Speaker 14: And do you feel like y'all have grown some of that?
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: What ways have you grown?
• 51:17
  Speaker 26: Yeah, I definitely think, like, our focus has just been physicality,
• 51:21
  Speaker 26: being more physical, straining more, staying on blocks longer. And,
• 51:24
  Speaker 26: I mean, that's a given from week one to week
• 51:26
  Speaker 26: four to week five to week six. It's just more games,
• 51:29
  Speaker 26: more reps, more time, and more experience together. And so
• 51:32
  Speaker 26: that's a given. That's an obvious that we're going to
• 51:34
  Speaker 26: continue to improve each week.
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: What's been maybe the most frustrating part of the offense's
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: output for you guys these last two games?
• 51:41
  Speaker 26: I mean, the biggest thing for us is handling what
• 51:43
  Speaker 26: we can handle in our room. And so whether that
• 51:45
  Speaker 26: is not protecting Marcel the way that we should and
• 51:47
  Speaker 26: giving them the opportunity to succeed that we should, or
• 51:49
  Speaker 26: whether it's not staying on blocks, like I said to
• 51:52
  Speaker 26: him earlier. We're just trying to find out what it
• 51:54
  Speaker 26: is that we can do, our one-of-one and then our five-of-five,
• 51:57
  Speaker 26: what we can do in our room to be the
• 51:58
  Speaker 26: best and hold ourselves to the highest standard.
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: What do you know about this Arkansas defense that you
• 52:04
  Speaker 8: guys are going to face on Saturday?
• 52:05
  Speaker 26: They have a really good defensive front. They have a
• 52:07
  Speaker 26: lot of guys that play and rotate and a lot
• 52:09
  Speaker 26: of talented players up front. They have a good, talented box,
• 52:12
  Speaker 26: so it's going to be a great matchup.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: I know it's still a few weeks away.
• 52:15
  Speaker 19: In case we don't get to talk to you again,
• 52:17
  Speaker 19: what's it going to be like to return to Alabama?
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: It'll be awesome.
• 52:20
  Speaker 26: I mean, it'll be a special time going back to Alabama,
• 52:23
  Speaker 26: playing against a really good defense once again. But, I mean,
• 52:25
  Speaker 26: my focus is on Arkansas this week. When you play
• 52:29
  Speaker 26: college football, every week comes so fast, it's too hard
• 52:32
  Speaker 26: to look ahead.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: Do you think the energy level in the past two
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: weeks has not been where it's needed to be? No,
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: I definitely don't think so.
• 52:38
  Speaker 26: I mean, I think in our room and stuff, we're
• 52:41
  Speaker 26: just trying to bring the intensity, but that is definitely
• 52:44
  Speaker 26: something that we're focusing on. It's just being high-spirited, uplifting,
• 52:48
  Speaker 26: and go play.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Hard, play physical, and strain. That's our goal up front.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: Is that a coach initiative or a player initiative? It's
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: a little bit of both. Who among the players is
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: leading that charge?
• 52:57
  Speaker 26: I mean, obviously our captains, but in our room, me, Mark, Tyrese,
• 53:00
  Speaker 26: some of the older guys who played a lot are
• 53:02
  Speaker 26: just trying to set the tone, bring the intensity, but
• 53:05
  Speaker 26: it's really everybody.
• 53:07
  Speaker 12: Why do you feel like that energy hasn't maybe been there?
• 53:10
  Speaker 12: Why have y'all been lacking in that area?
• 53:13
  Speaker 26: I think that as the season's going on, we're just
• 53:16
  Speaker 26: going to continue to get more confident up front, keep
• 53:18
  Speaker 26: developing our skill set, our chemistry up front, and we're
• 53:21
  Speaker 26: just going to continue to see more success up front.
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: How close do you think you guys are to finding
• 53:26
  Speaker 8: that next five that you're representing?
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: You know, I really don't know. I think.
• 53:32
  Speaker 26: It's just going to be a week-to-week thing. Some people
• 53:35
  Speaker 26: play really well in practice. Some people struggle a little
• 53:37
  Speaker 26: bit more in practice. So whatever happens, that we can
• 53:40
  Speaker 26: practice to give our staff and our players.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: The confidence to go out there and dominate our opponent.
• 53:44
  Speaker 11: Is there a number of guys you think that's on
• 53:46
  Speaker 11: the line that could be a part of that?
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: How large is that stable do you think that could
• 53:52
  Speaker 8: make up that best five?
• 53:54
  Speaker 16: Man, I don't know.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: I think eight. nine guys could be able to play.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: That's just the reality of our offensive line.
• 54:01
  Speaker 26: We have a lot of talented players, some young guys
• 54:03
  Speaker 26: who don't have a lot of experience, but just being,
• 54:05
  Speaker 26: I mean, another thing that happens is injuries.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: People get hurt, people get banged up.
• 54:09
  Speaker 26: It's a long SEC schedule and season, and so who
• 54:13
  Speaker 26: really knows what the future holds.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: Was there a common denominator with the four sacks?
• 54:17
  Speaker 22: You guys gave up, and was that a product of
• 54:21
  Speaker 22: the second half having to throw kind of a lot?
• 54:23
  Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, that's probably some of it, having to
• 54:25
  Speaker 26: throw more. And then just, like I said earlier, our
• 54:28
  Speaker 26: goal is to just strain as hard as we can
• 54:30
  Speaker 26: and know our assignment, communicate better, and just do the
• 54:33
  Speaker 26: best we can to give Marcel the time that he
• 54:35
  Speaker 26: needs to go perform at a high level.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: And to decide to transfer here, I'm sure you didn't
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: think you'd be able to in SEC play.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: So how do you handle that, and how do you
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: move forward?
• 54:43
  Speaker 26: Like I was telling him earlier, our weeks come so fast.
• 54:46
  Speaker 26: Saturday rolls around so quick. It's not much time to
• 54:49
  Speaker 26: sit back and pout and think, man, we're 0-2. It's
• 54:51
  Speaker 26: more like, here we go. We've got a really good
• 54:53
  Speaker 26: team coming here to try to kick our butt. We've
• 54:55
  Speaker 26: got to prepare for it the right way. Got any
• 54:57
  Speaker 26: ties to Arkansas players or anything special about playing Arkansas
• 55:00
  Speaker 26: for you personally? Yeah, I know a few players actually
• 55:03
  Speaker 26: on the defensive line, so that'll be cool after the
• 55:05
  Speaker 26: game because I'll talk to them briefly and spend some
• 55:07
  Speaker 26: time with them.
• 55:09
  Speaker 22: How have you seen Marcel kind of handle some of
• 55:10
  Speaker 22: the struggles, and what's your belief.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Of what will happen right now? I have a lot
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: of belief in Marcel.
• 55:15
  Speaker 26: He's one of the hardest workers on the team, and
• 55:17
  Speaker 26: I know he has a lot of pressure just as
• 55:19
  Speaker 26: every SEC or high-level quarterback has, but I got the
• 55:22
  Speaker 26: utmost respect and belief in Marcel, and I know that
• 55:24
  Speaker 26: he can do what he needs to do. We just
• 55:26
  Speaker 26: got to give him the time to go play at
• 55:27
  Speaker 26: a high level and just keep helping him breed his
• 55:30
  Speaker 26: confidence every day in practice and in the next.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: Games to come.
• 55:33
