buies is that deal man okay he went easy on that to kind of warm him up I can app apprciate that all right uh Justin let's go okay okay I'm going to talk about your skill brother I love how you were able to read the field you could break down a quarterback before the ball was even snap but for every DB there was always that quarterback or that wide receiver who challenged him the most who was that for you and how would you grade yourself against that guy we just talking about college or you talking about in general College yeah let's go College go College I go honestly there was no harder game than practice so I got to go Calvin Ridley and then Tua I can understand that respect respect unguardable there'll be tons coing will remind you like hey this guy's on scholarship too and I can't and I can't coach you everything to do it's just gonna be time she's gonna get one up on you and then Tu I just remember in times that practice like wondering how he just threw this ball so Pino and I remember one time I thought I had an interception and he just threw it like to Judy's knees on the sideline but he was outstretched I remember like who is throwing this in the game like there's nobody doing there's nobody doing this so I just kind of got up and said BR now you got one this one of your this a special dude out here is what it is so Jared garana was not like that in other words it's getting a little war whose turn is it is it my turn yes it's your turn there Mar oh okay uh Jared you being a University of Alabama football player uh how many times did you get confronted by one of the uh male students at the University for taking their girlfriend n a never having me n to ask you again I told you don't don't be politically correct here J I ain't gonna lie that ain't never happened to me school too big it's too many people that go there so me really that never really happened to me oh and so in other words you got away with it yeah nobody came and said nothing to me hey it sound like she got away with it I ain't ladies and gentlemen Jared just incriminated himself he said she got away with it and she ain't do it by herself all right it's hot it's getting hot all right bar let's go he rubbing his forehead y'all let's go Marvin ask your dumbass question right I'm GNA get to you in a second all right so here we go worst mistake you've ever made in a game on live TV and did it end up with you result did it result in you ended up on Not Top 10 or you got Moss so I say my worst mistake I ever made in the game on live TV because you know they gonna crucify you on live TV on live TV it was my junior year I think we played Louisiana raan cinjun or something like that the raan cin and I remember that week I I was like I was kind of done with it I was Junior barely playing whatever so boom I'm kind of peed off the whole week and now we get to the game so the game I'm really not supposed to be playing and then Co sain for some reason comes up to me and says oh you going in so go in it's probably fourth quarter fourth four it got to be the fourth I go in I barely know the game plan whatever man the first play I want to say the running back crazy I end up playing with the running back and San FR uh Elijah Elijah Mitchell I want to say man first play from scrim I think he busted through stiff arms me and then takes the takes it for like 50 yards for a touchdown so boom I'm embarrassed already I come over to the sideline and I'm like man what like what just happened so boom I'm like man I time for me to get in the game like it is what it is next SE next next series they come out I think they run a slot fade boom dude catches it mooss me for a touchdown in the end zone damn two tou downs and like two drops that was the most embarrassing moment I've ever had on National Television even probably ever playing I think I've never given up a touchdown in the game again after that did you make ESPN though I want to say I did I think I did I think I definitely did wow I think I think the stiff arm did because I remember seeing it later that night at the little bar industry that's in tus I remember them see I remember seeing it on the highlights I bet I bet they showed it when you was with a girl too huh look at you with your side it's embarrassing yeah hey hey I it happens it happens yeah if you ain't on ESPN that means you ain't playing it happen all of we all get baptized at some point the only guy on this P say he never got baptized Marvin's gonna say it but he's got baptized I don't know about that never gotten baptized I never got in the damn game but that's another story all right smoke you up let's go to hot seat or saving chair so I'm gonna put you in the saving chair for a little bit longer because your guy just retired because of the transport portal transporting wasn't always in when you were there and it took you a while to start until your senior year now if you were in today's model would you have transferred out of Alabama if you didn't play in your second year yeah so remember uh really the backstory of that was um with the two touchdowns that was the year that I want to say his name was Kelly ke something Kelly from Clemson uh had the four games and then red shired yeah so I tried to do that my junior year like that week um of that game against the cinjun I was like ready to go um I think I was going to go to Oregon because they were on semesters so it was a whole fit of trying to just leave because at this point I'm a junior we got Pat Shain we got Trayvon digs we got this dude this dude this dude I'm only barely playing so I was ready to go so I definitely tried it and then Co called me up to his office and told me you know you can do it but you ain't gonna have study hall you can't come work out in here you can't told me a lot of stuff you're not going to be able to have you know what I'm saying if you decide to go down this route so then you know told me down on Wednesday I was on Scout team the whole week that game happened gave up to two touchdowns and then that's when I was just like I can leave right now and this will be the last thing people remember from me here or I can turn up and and start listening to the man and just and just ball out so yeah I tried definitely tried but you you was having a rough week you burned your red shirt and you gave up two tou yeah it was a rough that was a rough week I'm telling you that was my that's my grown man come to Jesus like hey right but you stayed you stayed that's working that that's what that's what makes you you and it makes real players players because that's what hardens you and toughens you up yeah instead of leaving like how these kids came out Steve can we go one more round before we get to the audience questions we got a few who want to ask you think we can go one more round uh you know what uh let's go one more round let's go one more round all right Stephen what you got golly if you if you in Tuscaloosa right now and you got you gotta either one of the one of these two places you EA Archer balls or woodr you eat Archer balls or Dreamland my bad I'm gonna go to I'm gonna go to Archer balls they had the wings so long I had the wings in so long and the banana pudding man I remember they used to serve that all the times for the recruits and I probably talk to whatever recruits was necessary but that I'm taking two plates home two man I got enough for two three days you know was no nil then I'm trying to gonna feed this all who's up next Justin that's you right that's me that's me Jerry what I loved about your game was your physicality of course I know you had a lot of hits but every great hitter has that one that sticks out in their mind their favorite which one was that for you so the first game of the season we played and I think the very first play was they run crack TOs and it was a d one of the offensive lineman that got up to the safety level and I laid him out near leg near shoulder boom smacked him like I rolled over the top of him and I think that's I don't really talk trash that much especially not at that time and that's probably the one of the only times I ever talk trash to Old lineman too I was like boy y'all that said say you had Duke and you this sof no wonder you not going to NFL crazy crazy that was my best hit of the year I took him off his feet man he's three 300 something pounds on a crack toss and nobody stopped like he had nobody stopping him from me into third level so he ran dead sprinting so D my he great answer steeve am I up am I up all right so Jared uh while in college have you ever had a stalker you know I I have them all the time so yeah your probation officer uh yeah shut up Marvin Miss Unice I don't think I had no stalker okay you ever had a stalker and where was the weirdest place she showed up I don't think I don't think I ever had no stalker I I ain't gonna like as far as stalking goes like bro what is you doing here I don't think I ever I think I ever had I don't be trying to do Marvin had a stalker Marvin Marvin you remember that time that dude showed up [Music] and ain't nobody laughing but you well I mean he was at a diddy party Marvin Marvin your secrets are good with me Marvin you're up you're ready you're up Marvin all right so have you ever been what do you what what can what can you say is the one thing that prevented you from playing early in your career at Alabama uh I I don't know about it's one concept but it's more than one thing I could say mink Fitzpatrick Eddie Jackson Levi Wallace um El go Marlon humph Anthony aett then you had Ronnie Harrison then you had Deontay thomps them is the reasons like I like like dep it is what it is kind of one of them things cuz when they told me I when I got recruited to Alabama by coach puit he made it seem like OS Cirrus Jones is leaving you know we looking for a corner du that they don't tell you is is Marlon humph it's a Anthony ever there Tony Brown you know what I'm saying all of these guys you know what I'm saying so that was definitely one of the reasons but my sophomore year I definitely thought I was playing at the ability to start at corner um the summer um scrimmages we were having I still have the papers to this day I graded out first in production points and then the second scrimmage I think I was top five so I was balling but when you sit down in the DB meeting room with Coach Sabin you know what I'm saying he he GNA coach up M Fitzpatrick Marlon humph Anthony ever then when he gets to you he going to coach you but they just not your time your time hey man you know what with your name and all the DBS that you mentioned I I I I don't understand why people don't call Alabama DBU that those are names including yours those is a lot of names you know and of course don't forget about my boy smoke so yeah we got we got some names man now we we got a couple of things in common we're both members of bills Mafia played with some you played with some quarterbacks jayen Herz two a tongue of VI L and Josh all if you had to rank all three of those guys and a wild play that you saw from each of those guys what would be your answer oh now that's on the spot one for you yeah that's on for you I'm taking T definitely taking T Tua just can spin it and it's not I feel like it's no ball he can't throw then then after that Josh Allen and Jaylen Herz man Josh Allen got an arm just by see in real life like I seen it in real life real time like unreal it it looks like he threw a deep Ballo shot cover two and and he threw it from like the logo area was the craziest thing I ever seen it looked like somebody like I'm looking at the ball spin it looked like tours for the national championship and I'm looking at it spin but it's no lob on it it looked like he threw a 15 feet beline to the pylon I remember just being like bro did somebody just pushed the ball in midair pushed it but then you got the turnovers that come with that right I might go Jaylen Herz second because that's a playmaker that's a game changer so I'mma go J her second then I'mma go Josh because that arm Talent is crazy and Josh Allen a game record too I didn't realize how big he was till in practice we called it down and he was legit 67 dang 260 legit legit not playing like legit and some Crocs out there at walk what yeah I said because when I was at Philly before I went to the uh to the bills I remember watching the highlights I'm like bro who how is this quarterback running through DBS and and dudes look like they scared to hit him but when you run on it's like okay I understand you gotta be careful when you run up on him you got you got to make a career decision a life decision grown man wow I want to say the biggest QB I probably like I remember Joe burrow I went on a blitz I missed the tackle but I remember running up on him like okay he might be my size but then I get up on him I he like a jit 6364 and I go to wrap my arms around him and I couldn't rap and I was like BR this a big dude so thinking about having to do that with Josh Allen you got to come in there with your mind like right wow mind right right right okay there it is all right so you almost off the hot hot seat oh is it your turn just no I was gonna say Steve since you're the Master of Ceremonies of this particular segment how many audience questions are we gonna take let's take two take two take two gotta go first for Don Parker because we always love to asked this question tell us your coach sa been going off moment that you can now talk about but will never forget so my when it start with so year uh we had a practice going against Calvin Ridley he the solo X trips whatever fade R Cooks me uh I want to say he probably took the ball like 60 on a on a fade so we coming back jogging back from The End Zone cuz he scored I want to say the ball was on the 20 no he yeah he took me deep coin was started behind the offense you know what I'm saying he has walked cussing me out from the what that be the 10 all the way to the opposite opposite 40 when he caught up to me coming back and then now he his hats off you know what I'm saying he just mad now he going walk back cussing me out from that opposite 40 all the way back to the scrimmage line like he what is that aund and something like that's like 120 yards he just walked just to cuss me out that's to cut me out this a cut me out I never forget that you know the that's one I remember the next play bro I just remember having tears in my eyes and and then I come over to the sideline Anthony a was like bro it's all right bro like you do it all we all got tears like you know the Mad tears that you had kid of them like bro can't believe here doing this he was about to say all my life I had to fight yeah and it was Camp too and that's when we still had two of days before they took two of days away wow and it was no day off every day ran in it every day so it was I remember being like bro is this for me May question yourself now now Jared now how in was the heat out there as he was cussing you out hey to this day I still haven't been no place hotter than tuscalo out them I know compes I compare places to tuscalo i' be like oh it's not that bad it's just hum man now that I'm back in Dallas I be like oh this just the Sun at least we still can feel the wind hey man right now the temperature in tuso is on civil rights right now as a matter of fact as a matter of fact I went home to visit my mom last week and I promise you I saw the C Clan marching with short sleeve sheets on listen I'm tell y'all something a lot of people don't understand this smoke you'll know it Jared you'll know it when you comeing out to go practice a lot of those days you know how you see the heat coming off the pavement you will see it coming off the grass and it's like this ain't even cement this is grass why is the grass got Steam and and and coming off of this like and the W remember the wav you see like man freshman year we had a coach a coach full body cramp IV had to go had to take them see you you yelling at us you the coach you cramping up so hold on imagine being a tus doing three days see when we played we did three days I couldn't imagine I still can all right so Justin you got one more right got one more got one more when I bring you into the new era Amber Nicole 3113 Jared how are you feeling about the new era of Alabama football things have changed since you left and it wasn't that long ago different landscape I mean it is GNA be different um you know one thing I did like that they kept some of the guys that know how it was back when um I want to I want to say they got Freddy roach up there uh roach was definitely somebody who can bring that bam Stander out of anybody even when I was there um I know they kept some of the academic staff around um I wna I think chap is still up there I want to is so so is Denzel so is Den so yeah man they gonna be in good hands they gonna be be all right and then the new the new coach is a winner so yeah I don't see no I feel like we gonna be I don't see us really falling off I don't see it the mentality whatever but I don't see us falling off we still got defense we got malacha Moore out there um offense just been that offense just look different since since I left with the rugs is and Waddles those guys were just different type of game makers so I guess I got used to that and then since they left uh the explosion receiver like you one like if I got this dude the ball he's going to score right now it's kind of little different but I'm interested to seeing what it looks like this year yeah no doubt no doubt okay brother we appreciate you being in the hot seat for 30 minutes that's a long time and we greatly appreciate you being on our show before we let you hat out if you would tell the folks how they can find you on social media and then what you got coming up next uh

hell baby let them know where you from yes sir yes sir always I appreciate it my man take care all right brother take care you too there it is man that was fun that was that was a lot of fun Steve I think we found the favorite segment now you know something though you know something I I I think that uh you know for the person who in the chat whoever asked the the best question we gotta we gotta award him with a title tile or something absolutely absolutely do that Whit will Sports is here uh hook him up uh tell you what let's see let's let's pick real quick Tom Parker if you would email me Justin rileythe Bast standard.com give me your information so we can get you a title towel sent to your home courtesy of the B standard Network and Steve don't you wipe your face with and have your forehead sweat all over it either he want a new towel well listen you're the only one that would think about something like that dude speaking of forehead sweat it's hot out there our guys are still getting it done fans need to know what happened well the good thing is is we got somebody who's on the scene and not only that matched up with him we got one of the best evaluators ever folks that means it's time for the death [Music] chart Stephen M you ready to get to it my guy let's crack open the money baby man I heard you've been on that block you've been on that field you've been watching the position battles let's start on the de defense and the Wolf position if you can give a quick explanation of the wolf position and what that first string and second string and whoever is battling for that last spot at that wolf position okay so fans the wolf position is basically the second defensive end so remember under Nick Sabin you had the Jack and the Sam linebacker those just two outside linebackers your jack was more so your pass rushia your Sam was more so of your run stuffer slash your coverage guy that that was under Nick sa in that 34 with the nickel under Kan wck in this 425 in the 425 the four down lineman one of those down lineman is the wolf so instead of him being up rushing the quarterback he's down with a hand in the dirt coming after the quarterback so he's the other defensive end so right now the number one guy in this wolf is quandarius Robinson Q Rob is number one he's transformed his body he's now at 240 pounds 65 he's gotten better pass rush moves on him he's playing with a whole lot more confidence when I've ever seen him play and people forget Q Rob had to wait behind will Anderson Dallas Turner Drew Sanders Chris Braswell a ton of dudes so now Q Rob's like okay my time is now I'm gonna take mine now after waiting and learning I'm taking minees now so he's the number one wolf guy behind him is a battle going on between cot and quay rousa quay is right on keanu's right on keanu's Heels right now they're both Twitchy they're both really good but right now Quay is making it tough on keano to kind of separate from him wow to know is it any possibility we'll see all three of them in some type of speed package at some point though that that has been talked about to K wck he is he is putting that in there so the there will be a package where you will see Q Keanu and Quay all out there W has put that together because if you remember when the New York Giants did that they maximized that speed package man if you can replicate something similar to that you're talking about being a quarterbacks worse nightmare third and eight third and seven third and 10 because you know again you got to hold the ball a little bit longer because it's a longer down in distance I mean might just be our new thing can I can can I say something quick probably gonna kill me for this but uh I'm I'm still not sold on the defense yet well it's time it's time let my man Steve keep cooking real quick this whole tight real quick Stephen Brown Stephen M so let's let's touch on the Bandit position go ahead Justin oh well that actually is leading to my question for you Stephen we talked about this recently I had a chance to listen to Kane wmac today as well as uh Deontay Lawson one of the names that's being tossed about right now LT Overton yeah and they are just fired up about him the Manning has been straight up nasty in practice did some crazy things as past scrimmage but another name that's being thrown in there Jian leam K Wack he loves my guy says he has great athleticism great speed to power says he's a 280 pound ass kicker and the man has paid his dues I like the man's chances so is he the Undisputed number one Bandit if so sell us on it jaryan leam is the number one Undisputed Bandit and here's why he knows the entire culture in the system and it did not take jaryan leam long to pick it up people failed to realize this guy played onea ball at pickings High School it was a wrecking shop but when he came to Alabama he had to learn the complexity of a Nick Sabin defense now you remove Nick Sabin and it's Kane wack now that defense isn't as complex as it once was and now you got a Freddy roach who's also instilling a lot of confidence in you to be able to go out there and run that Bandit spot jaryan aam's the guy and he's another one that came in that 2020 covid class with Will Anderson with Drew Sanders with brazwell na them came in that class he's really good it's taking him some time but he's now ready to take his moment as well LT Overton's good also I think he's number two after leam if leam has to come out you put LT in there but Lam's number one at Bandit right now he was actually leading a whole line of defensive linemen through drills today working with Freddy roach and Jamie Mosley so Le them would be number one okay now every Bama fan even coach s which I think he was slightly hating on his secondary talking about how average his secondary is going to be or the lack of of experience from your knowledge from sitting out there I heard this Cali Connection has been putting it together what's your thoughts on that so in the secondary right now smoke you got two guys from Modern Day High School the PowerHouse modern day high school it running it that's demani Jackson the transfer from USC and you got zaven brown The Freshman fivar from modern day and they both been running it now Zan's got a cast on his left hand but it's not it hasn't been bothering him at all have that cast taken off soon covering out there he's still moving out there it's not hindering his ability whatsoever and when you talk to coaches about Z and it say everything's in the right place his eye discipline is there his footwork is there his technique is there everything is there when you talk about this kid it's he gets it he understands how to take away the best receiver he gets it and if there's a if there's a number three and number four quarterback right now behind those two who would those two guys be that the fans need to hear about so so right now there's a number three and a number four that's a good question uh Deshawn Jones will be in there of a transfer from Wake Forest but also jayen and Bak is in there too Bach is in there according to wack Bach there's gonna be a role for him in this defense they talked about he's gonna have a role now imbak played several positions in high school including quarterback at Klay chalk but Bach has called on so quickly as a defensive back he's going to have a role in the secondary but you know one of the things I'm not really concerned about the secondary being young as much as I would if it were the linebackers and the D line being young if we have strength in our dline and our linebackers that's going to speed up that timing on that offense anyway and let's be honest whether it's cover one two three or four it's all the same as it was in high school and seven on seven so I ain't worried about him being young because again if it was young up front I would be worried for the streng for the sake of their physicality and them having the strength to compete up front but that's not the issue I'm not so much as worried about their strength and how strong they are on the back end I think we'll be just fine on that back end okay so let me let me ask this and this this is the smoke uh so pretty much wack has come in and he is pretty much doing what San is doing but he's more so simplifying it for the players so they can I guess play faster right so when you know you play faster yeah so Steve if you look at it like this there's always been that issue with young with with all the players that come through Savin defense it's the same thing with Bill parcel's defense Bill bellek defense it's a complex defense that basically there they have answers for every offensive formation and every offensive play that you're going to run as offensive coordinator now the issue with that is when you're young you're always going to struggle with it you get older and you understand the reasons why you have to do it then that's when you saw B play Lights Out defense but if coming in young and inexperienced and you have to go through three to four to five different checks and you have to communicate that's when we saw the saving defense getting exposed because defense offense was being sped up you weren't having time to communicate every single check in motion to the front end the the linebackers to the second level and also the back end that's why you see a lot of bust with it but what coach is doing WX doing is he's simplifying it when you simplify the defense you're going to get your athletes now to run faster and you can get younger players that are talented to play earlier right process okay cool that Mak sense because again you think about it like I said I just want to give you this analogy would you rather play a freshman defensive back or a freshman defensive lineman because again that freshman defensive lineman he going to get his ass kicked by some Junior and senior offensive lineman because he's not physically strong enough that doesn't matter on the secondary we just you know what you're doing right I kind of equate this guys to to meal prepping food for example and Marvin you could attested this when you're meal prepping you know you get a little bit PR okay when you meal him make his point you get a little bit at a time right don't you don't fill up the entire plate right you get a little bit at a time and the more you want to add that you can take you add more it's just like what Kan Wick's doing he's not piling up all of this stuff on these young athletes he said okay I'mma give you what you can handle you show me you can handle that and play fast now we can add a little bit more now we can add a little bit more now we can add a little bit more that's what he's doing well to add a little bit more context to It Gerald will probably agree with this this is the same thing that Ellis Johnson did in 99 when we won the SEC Championship because again the majority of our starters were freshman and sophomores on that defense so there was no way he could give us a full Playbook and send us out there week by week it was a little bit more added a little bit more added and it just allowed us to play football and do the thing we've done since we were kids without having to think about it correct now now I I've been hearing that the inside linebacker has been a a position of somewhat battle what have you been seeing from all three of those guys all three of those guys Lawson Campbell and Jefferson K wack all looks at all three of those guys as starters but but here's the thing Campbell has really stepped up in that communication piece she can call out the defense too and that is and that is why when you look at Lawson can call it and Campbell can call it so if Lawson has to go out for a play you can slide Campbell in the middle and drop off Campbell's also added 14 pounds he's gone from 230 to 244 and he he he and he's laying the hammer against the run and Marvin here's something you can appreciate here you got Justin Jefferson who of the three I think he's the most SE get it athletically I I think he's the most SE ball get ball athletically of the three well well here's my question out of that group of three which one can look at that offensive set and determine where that play is going based upon that Personnel Group and who's on ball who's off ball you know is he one by one on the quarterback because again that's great middle linebacker that's the guy who I want not only call the defenses but who knows what the expect and can direct everybody well well Marvin what I would say to that is yes that's who you want out there but the game has changed a lot since we once played where you want the guy to go out there in process ke diagnos the play offenses are running the play so fast that really if you aren't as fast and if you get put in place in in space and you can't make plays in space you're now a liability you go back to that Michigan I know you about to say something Marvin because you like those big 10 mics those Big Stiff guys that's not what I was going to say this whole tight you you can see what Michigan did to Lawson the last two touch the first touchdown the last touchdown they made him pick up that number three receiver coming back across the field and he was not fast enough athletic enough to playing specch so yes you have the veteran out there that does know where the play is going can get their physical leadership but it's sometimes you got to have an eraser when everything goes bad I can oh internet police got him wow actually I think it's because for he sashed Marvin and Marvin did that's Marvin's fault n so so basically what he's saying is you want a middle linebacker who can account for thees of everyone else around that's what you want that middle linebacker if that play gets busted that guy better be able to count for everything that's basically what Gerald is saying that okay hold hold on hold on guys hold hold on hold on let's stop right here all right smoke had us right here everybody was like all right and then then Marvin cut your internet off so we got let finish that brother cuz there because everybody was like damn it Marvin I can see it in the comments so well the inter Marvin already know the internet Platinum it's Marvin that want to hit the button because he want to hate on because I disagree with him because he's a big 10 Mike but at the end of that I was just saying the way that the college game and overall the game of football is being played at the second level meaning linebackers and even Nicholls it's being played in space so if you can't operate in space horizontally or vertically you're going to be exposed and if you saw the first Michigan touchdown your number number three guy that had to pick him up was your inside linebacker got exposed with speed the last touchdown was also your Mike linebacker not being able to carry that speed player across the formation and pick him up and gave him a touchdown so yes I understand that the position has to have knowledge leadership be able to key notes and have instincts but at the end of the day at some point you're going to have to have an eraser when everything goes bad on your defense and I think that's what Stephen is saying Jefferson has become and Coach Warmack is liking that a little bit more than what lawon has yeah because je Jefferson is an athletic eraser he he he can do that now Campbell could do it also but I think Jefferson just with the with the burst that he's got he can erase some stuff out there on the field so but also with the three inside linebackers there could there could be a package used with all three of those guys and then and then you got the backups which WC likes as well and that's Alexander that's ok roko and that's also you know Sterling Dixon so you got even the young guys are starting to gravitate toward this is how I gotta Play It's simplified I can go out here and do this um you know what I'm loving what I'm hearing about the Simplicity of the defense because honestly I'm I'm what you say smok is really resonating with me that means uh more young guys can play and some of the younger guys are just as athletically inclined or more athletic than the older guys so it helps out overall helps the overall defense out right Steve just just remember Reggie Ragin didn't play until his what junior year and I've sat down with Reggie over and over again and he just couldn't pick the defense up and it just takes time if you remember when CJ Mosley first started playing he only played in packages sub packages of nickel and Dy and then when they went to base he was out of the game so that's how they introduced players in his package that that couldn't be left on the sideline he just gave him packages all he had to do was just master that package and that's the only way he can play but if we just touched on the defense Stephen let's go on the side that scores touchdown and let's touch on off line we know we got our F we have our four who's the fifth offensive um lineman plays the right t That'll be wilin forby who is young man from North Ridge High School in tusca Loa he's the fifth guy he I think he's locked up left I think he's locked up right tackle I know it's been a conversation between him and Elijah pritet I think pritch is a backup good backup solid backup but I look at forb as the starter yes Steve you're in there too man no no no no no I was going to ask I was going to ask so has Kayton Proctor won his spot back already absolutely K best he's he's backing left tackle man that's that's that's I'm proud of him man that's great news Steve Steve he's changed his body his mindset has always been the same but you gotta remember these young kids aren't like they ain't built like us where if something happens dramatic in our life we can overcome right I think when coach Sabin retired that's a that's a hard pill to swallow it rattled him oh yeah for sure and you coming from Iowa down to Tuscaloosa you needed to stabilize and Coach Sabin for the most is he's been there he's not going anywhere so when he leave you're in the upro so his ability to play is never was never in question it's just you make him earn it back so I sat down I was talking to Courtney Morgan while he was up here at the cons um the Symposium for personnel recruiting and he always said he always has to have six to seven off um offensive players in terms of offensive lineman in the system who was going to be sixth and seventh offensive lineman in your opinion Stephen M The Tackle and the interior swing guy and swing I mean guard T I mean guard Center combination okay so I I think I think the sixth guy in the formation is going to be Gino banmark of the transfer from Michigan State he's looking good out there as a guard so I think he's the sixth I think he's the he's the sixth guy and Chris covich knows him very well because he coached him at Michigan State for a year so Chris kapovich knows I go goino bandar I think the last guy I would look at Rock Montgomery Rock Montgomery is very versatile he can play guard but he can also play center very good snap in the football Rock Montgomery of the guys that came in that 2023 offensive line class and that 2023 class that was Proctor that was Rock Montgomery that was forb that was oasin that was Miles McVey of all of those guys rock is the most underrated but rock may be the best of the whole group now I know every Bama fan wants to hear about who's going to be catching the ball who are the starting three receivers and who's the fourth and we have to touch on Ryan Williams and how he's getting introduced to college football and do you see any packages or anything that they have in place for him to pick up that learning um curve well the starting three guys that I've seen in Fall camp at this point you would have klaw at The X at the top of the formation so he's more so of the intricate route run if you will you got Kobe prantis in the slot this guy's got big speed and then you got Jeremy Bernard at the bottom of the formation at Z he's got deceptive speed also really good blocker but just all around wide receiver so those are your main three k La apprentice and Jeremy Bernard Ryan Williams is the fourth guy in this and I think they're going to use Ryan a lot I feel like they can use Ryan on the inside or the outside so they could interchange ger they could interchange Kobe Prince and klaw to put Ryan in there because He commands so much attention at 17 years old this kid should still be in high school at 17 years old the route the routes are there the speeds there the hands there the vertic ality to get up and snatch the footballers there so uh that kid draws a lot of attention when I look at Ryan I go back to the reason why in 2012 that deandrew white Christian Jones Kevin Norwood Kenny Bale they all had success everybody was scared the death of Amari Cooper it was where is nine we gotta keep a eye on nine because nine is gonna kill us and nine created so much for everybody else it's the same thing 2015 with Calvin Ridley that's the reason why Richard melany OJ Howard finally you know other guys had success because Calvin was was was killing people so it's the same thing here with Ryan Ryan is gonna create so much for everybody else he's gonna get his but he's gonna create for everybody else so I think he's four which would be five is Caleb odm at 65217 you got to get that freakish athlete out there he he's Red Zone Target see K up OD to me would be would be five six would be Emanuel Henderson I really like eeman he's gonna find his way out there seven would be the next guy would be Cole Adams I think Cole Adams will round this out Cole has made a huge jump uh throughout Camp so so um two things um kendri L from what I understand he reminds you of is it Debo is it Deo Debo Samuel yeah yeah and I heard he's like like he looks like a running back but he's really a receiver now how big is Ryan Williams is he a I saw I saw 160 something that up to 170 now a he Steven he's 175 now how tall 61 he's 61 okay so so Steve if you had to put if I had to put a picture in your mind of a person that is comparison to his physical traits and how he looks physically the SL just think about Smitty okay yeah oh I mean that's it right there perfect count perfect count but I would say that Smitty but faster Ryan Williams is sub 105 100 meter dash track speed SM was a smooth this kid is explosive quick twitch I gotta Ste why you looking so confused though Steve my God it's blowing his mind sir he's excited excited man I'm you you gotta understand I'm looking at all these weapons we got and and it's going to still uh it's GNA fall into my prediction that Alabama's gonna surprise a lot of people and don't be surprised if they G undefeated that's all I'm G say that and for for that said Stephen M Smith you're off the hot seat with the dep CH Fant man this was even no hot seat I felt good I know CU you you in that Beacon chair exactly I thought he was gonna start the segment out with giving honor to God hey he's he's sitting on the stack of Bibles what we got what we got next man this this a great show man listen hey people if y'all don't tell more people about the BMA standard something is wrong with y'all we here and we are giving to tell y'all man we are hot uh we are fun and we just easy to look at you know except for the guy on the bottom yeah me too it's yeah yeah but other than that man y'all subscribe subscribe share like comment he man we coming you coming down standard absolutely before we get to the last segment I want to remind everybody the season is vastly approaching and the only way to be a wild BMA fan supporting your team is to have in your hand your possession a title towel I want you guys to go to whitwill sports.com after the show enter that promo code standard get you one of the hottest pie pieces of merchandise there is a title towel you going get a nice discount courtesy of the Bama standard Network so go visit Whitwell sports.com today all right so as we get to the final I finally got mine I finally got mine man so proud of you so proud of you so so staying with the experts we is the armchair quarterbacks if you will we don't really fully understand the going Zone with fall camp and scrimmages so I have Marvin here and I have Gerald here smoke who have been through it they understand the the process of each week and what each week means so I want to get beyond the service level guys can you give a game plan of fall camp and then what to expect from here out and answer the question have the rosters been set so let's go ahead and I'll turn over to both of y'all educate us tell us something well m i I'll jump in first Marvin and and trying to explain it more from the Personnel side and what happens now during fall Camp when you look at fall camp we all have to remove the old model of two a days because when you had two a days you were doubling the practice that you're having now meaning that you can truly assess your young Talent that's coming in but right now you only have single practices so you aren't truly assessing your talent you're only getting your team ready and prepared for game one so the first week of spring of fall practice was basically trying to set your depth chge after that second scrimmage your depth chart is being set and you're now having Personnel meetings you're trying to find out who your third running back is who your third tight end is who that sixth seventh and eighth offensive lineman is who's G to be like Marvin just said on the defensive side who are you going to put in that sub package as your speed rushers who's going to be your nickel who's going to be your third fourth corners and who are going to be your backups now on the special team side you're trying to figure out as special team coach who are the best 11 can I put out there and with that said you have to know who's in the first and the second string because now this is where guys are going to be the red shirt is going to be involved or the guy that's only going to play in those four games so it's right now that we look at it going into week two that Bama team is getting ready for the first game the first string and second string is getting ready and the look team the team the developmental team is now getting put aside so they can now service the ones and twos and then the threes are the ones that's going to serice so you're G to see the Crimson Jersey come out the white jerseys come out and most likely the black jerseys are for the team the guys that are on the third team that's getting themselves prepared for next year that does not mean that they're not good players but they are not mentally and physically ready at this moment to contribute to the Bama team moving forward okay so with that said Marvin you been through it I've been through it that first week of that fall Camp as a player what was your mindset I mean more than anything you know it's just asserting myself into to to that starting lineup letting the coaches know that I'm here to play football to get a job done and that you can count on me but one of the things that a lot of people don't take into account when you start to wind Camp down you get to that Midway Point classes are starting so again you're taking kids who were in high school now they have to account for their time so this is a pivotal point for for the older players to reach back and then still into these kids how to somewhat be professionals because you have to be professional at this point not only have you having to practice you got to go to class you got to take care of your body which is even more important because like you said you're starting to prepare for that game one if you're not taking care of your body you're doing a disservice to yourself and your team and and you know on a long season this is gonna be one of the longest season in college football history so you're really gonna have to take care of yourself so again just a matter of accounting for that time and understanding hey I got practice I have workouts I have film study I have class I have to take care of my body so again more than anything it's going to be more time management and those older guys teaching the younger guys the way to get things done Marvin if you can just touch on you just touched on it rest and recovery and just understanding when you have to go to sleep and how long you have to stay up you know when we came in young we thought we had all the freak out there we want when we got back to the dag on dorm yeah we're retired but we want to stay on the phone without girlfriends or have that conversation to play cards with with the guy that takes care of his body as as well as you do and understand how important is that rest and recovery so you can get ready for the next day in order to really capitalize on your reps during fall Camp well it starts for getting a proper night sleep seven to eight hours you know that's what I get now as an adult and looking back I wish I had a you know had known this you know when I was in school so again that's what it starts with getting adequate rest and feeding your body the appropriate fuels that will actually allow you to perform at a higher level not putting the alcohol in your body not putting things that you know the processed foods in your body all these things that make you sluggish and slow you down they all play a role in how you're going to perform throughout the week and we all know you practice how you're going to play so again you know it's it's a process you know and these younger guys you know they have nutritionist now so they have a lot more resources than we had so logically there's no reason for them not to get the rest that they need and the proper diet for their body type and then some of them it even goes as far as knowing their blood type and what they need to put in their bodies I mean scientists come a long way in predicting how athletes will perform so they have every resource at their disposal so but again it starts with a proper night rest and a Diet specific to your body type and for some they're blood type makes complete sense now we knew those camp blads we knew when guys came out they refresh and have those Camp leg and when you went on to week two I always said this week two separates the men from the boys because everyone came out during the first week and fresh off of workouts we had TJ TJ done got us in shape but we all know that once you step on the football field that next day you aren't 100% so now it becomes who has the most mental toughness that can go through that grind that had that hammy that had that little groin that had a little bumps and bruises how did you prepare yourself when you had those bumps and bruises to say hey mind body doesn't hurt right now and I can get through all this pain and make sure that I am the starter when game one started well one of the biggest things was I hated doing it but getting getting into that cold tub man I used to hate getting into that tub and again for the small little aches and bruises you know ice you know because again most guys want to be tough guys I ain't iceing this listen take care of your body that is your greatest asset that you have as an athlete if you allow it to break down then what else do you have so and again go to the train room getting that treatment that you need you know and I hope they've progressed Beyond giving people salt tablets and ice and stem for everything because that's that's not the answer for everything here get some salt tablets man I got a headache what salt tablets gonna do but hey you know so again it Go training man taking care of your body and when you're off the field go home sit down rest don't feel like you got to go to every party you don't have to go stand out on the Block you don't have to go do this rest your body man listen fresh legs go a long way I tell you that right now you know what you know what I'm sorry to cut you off um Steve ahead the thing that I always took like personal to myself is being a leader is if you're an older guy and you see that a young guy that does not know how to prepare properly take one underneath your arms underneath your wings and Lead that young person no matter if they're in the same position as you are and that's competing at the same spot in a position battle a true team and the true leader that does not intimidate you that only helps you and elevates your game when you can make the next one as good as you are teach them everything that they need to do and still be them out of that position that's only making your team better because one always hated Marvin and I'm not gonna say the teammates name they used to always tell the young guys the wrong checks to get into and get their out oh Steve guys that aren't to competitors will give you every single disadvantage for them not to win wow and that is that's ultimately hurting the team too yeah you're right because I had I had one ahead of me but he never told me anything and then he ends up leaving so you know it was I was out there by Tri and errow my my red freshman year I just had to figure it all out on my own okay so Marvin did he leave because you were better or because you aggravated the hell out of him like you do on this show let me answer can I can I answer that for him yeah Marvin was Marvin was flat out better than the person in front of I don't even want to me his name and I'm gonna give I'm gonna give you one bump Marvin if I take you off the hot seat Marvin is the third best linebacker that I've ever played with at any single level smoke let me say this to you brother smoke smoke I got so much love and respect for you uh smoke I do and I and I I value your opinion and your football IQ is off the chart but that was one of the most uh that was one of the most uh What uh that was one of the the biggest F you could ever tell Marvin is G Marvin all we all play with that one guy on the sideline his football pants look like cargo shorts that was Steve Brown did you did you not see him on this on this college football uh uh this college football I went back to Throwbacks Marvin had on Slack Ste St Steve I'm G let you do a lot of things but but I'm not gonna let you crush his football acent his ability to play football Marvin before injury I'm glad Marvin you know what NFL hey I would say this I I ain't gonna lie I ain't gonna lie to you I I gotta I gotta uh confess something when when when Marvin went down I I damn the cried I'm like man I can't believe this and that is the god honest truth but he's better now so forget Marvin I don't care about none of that none of that Marvin was garbage and Marvin you've been off the hot seat for about five minutes so cool off my good guy well thank you brother man I love y guys man he always on the seat with me he never come man what a

they they give you free they gonna give you free Burger ramama jamas now you said it but to add to add to to add to Marvin's point I was talking to Deontay Lawson at the practice today and Deontay

brought dominance it's brought fun we can fly around and just hit people the way we want to hit people so Kan I I've said this he's something that tell you what I tell you what he I know why he went
