Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! joins TexAgs LIVE! | TA Rewind w/ Jordan Pugh, OB & More!

I'm excited for this weekend I think I think it's going to be big time uh I think we're going to surprise a lot of people man hello everyone and welcome into texags rewind presented by specs in the r Insurance Studio David Nuno Cali garders at the angry elephant news and social Center Nick Savage behind the glass Cy your favorite part of the show I want to say SEC Mike but you're allowed to you can say whatever you want it's four and two kind of like hit me oh yeah I don't like that either but I mean other than that was great I think we're going to be better than that but we're not going to judge people on opinions no no the interview is great yeah still my favorite part but that kind of we're better even though you set up the Rudy rudiger interview you're going to go there okay he was great too he was awesome Nick your favorite part uh I want I'm gonna double up there I'm gonna say SEC Mike because I enjoy like every time he y'all get on the show together you're like oh I'm not going to bring up how we got mad at each other a couple years ago but you just did so it's like kind of like a reverse Nuno ISM you know so I I appreciate that we need a ding for every texags radio reference we need a ding for every Nuno ISM all right so here's the deal I made a texag radio mistake at the very top of the show I think that was the only one I made yeah I think you you're right okay you also always catch yourself like immediately after yeah it's it's never a delay it's like you stop yourself I said it I did say it what else do we have on the show anything else we had Jordan Pew we had uh olymp Canon oh legends that and more it's the rewind if you had to put a number on the sacks for Nick scorton in that game based on what you know about their offensive line and again like I said I that's not to say that A&M's going to get seven sacks but based on what we know based on the production we've seen from scorton we've seen from shmar Turner we've seen from Shamar Stewart who's been able to get to the quarterback maybe not the number of sacks he wants what would you say the number of sacks for scorton is going to be well you know I think I think two is fair uh and ambitious I think anything over two you're really asking a lot because if he gets one and it looks like that guy is overmatched then you're going to start chipping him and have a running back back there and so somebody else might come open because they're getting one-on-one but if if they're smart coaches and if uh scorton is having his way you know think about Unfortunately they lost the way Michael Clemens was dominating LSU I can't remember the kids Austin so I can't remember the kids's name uh I I mean he got like what three or four that day and I think he had two on the final drive yeah yeah and but but they were moving him around and stuff like that and I'm sure they'll do the same thing with Nick courton but they're moving him around to get a good matchup I can't imagine he's ever going to have a more favorable matchup than going against a true freshman in his first game let's say they move him around and they do everything they can to stop scorting that opens the door for everybody else yeah that's what I mean if if you're chipping him and saving a back to get on him and double teaming him well then more more than likely you got one-on-one uh blocking on um on Shamar Turner and Shamar Stewart and then Cash's how may be coming on a blitz so yeah a guy like scorton can create a lot of Havoc even if he's not the guy that's getting the S opinionated when it's good when it's bad and during the prior regime team you complained a lot which by the way you were right but I feel heading into this Notre Dame game you're on the optimistic train am I right yes yes one is quiet off season so what that tells me is there's a lot of work being done a lot of work in silence to uh you just like the direction um of where the program is going with what ELO is doing I think he Demands a lot he has a he has a standard which every coach does but I think he has a standard that that holds people accountable and you can hear that with what the players are saying man you hear the interviews you know you hear you listen to the SEC media days you hear them in the post practice interviews uh it's a different tone to the team uh it's a different approach to the team I think there's a certain toughness to the team and I like that uh like I said last time we were on man I never it's never been an issue of talent it's just been an issue of putting it together taking all the ingredients man and making the right meal and I think that we have that um I think it can show early or it can show late but I think you're going to see the makings of what elco's been brewing man this whole off season I'm excited for this weekend I think I think it's going to be big time uh I think we're going to surprise a lot of people man how do you think it affects A&M though the additions because I feel like for a story like A&M yeah they lost some dudes with some five star Talent no doubt about it but it feels like at least today before the season starts that you know you took two steps forward by losing a couple of guys that maybe just didn't fit in in the culture here right well I I would certainly agree with that but that's why we highlighted that comment from coach Elco yesterday because he kind of said similar thing where you know you're going into week one maybe you're he didn't name any specific uh position groups but I'll name them for him uh somewhere like defens of back where Texas A&M should be a lot better right uh but then you get into a football game and then maybe you find well maybe this one guy is not ready maybe this other guy gets banged up maybe this maybe that you have to adjust on the fly so all the all the areas where we feel like we have shored up a deficiency or we got better depth I mean that could go away in a quarter and I think that is the challenge of predicting these games and that's why it's such a challenge predicting Texas A&M I mean I could see a scenario I don't think it's far-fetched where they go to the college football playoff now I I'm not sitting here saying they go undefeated or anything like that but nine and three 10 and two I don't think that's completely out of the realm of possibility but I also could see a scenario where you know maybe they go seven and five and it's just it's it's so difficult for me to Peg A&M this season it's difficult for us too but this is how I dumb it down to make it you know just better decisions in game okay um better culture okay the top strength and conditioning coach all right with all the dysfunction that we saw last year seven and five with chances absolute chances to beat some top teams Tennessee Alabama LSU all those games were right there for A&M and I know that's life in the SEC but with all the chaos to go seven and5 with last year right and have a chance against Old Miss to tie in the last few seconds of the game all that to me like you made a change at coach and you made several changes at positional coaches like I it has to be better maybe that doesn't equate to 10- two n and three but it feels like you're going to be better when when it matters at the end of games right you kind of alluded to it but I'll say it for you massive upgrade at head coach in my opinion we no need to rehash but uh I don't know what in the world Jimbo was doing the last couple years I think he had phoned it in where meanwhile you got uh coach Elco here that you know it I wouldn't say the jury's out on him because he did such a good job at Duke but it was only for two years so I I'm not calling into question whether he can do it but I'm calling into question whether we can sit here today and say you know he's a top half SEC coach I mean we could say it but I wouldn't feel confident he he's got to go out here and show me something I think he by the end of the season I I think he'll be in everybody's top half of thec in terms of head coaches but yeah I I mean you make a lot of good points but again this overreactions are you thought Florida State overreactions were wild wait till Saturday night when when we find out if Texas A&M beats Notre Dame there's going to be discussion that A&M should probably be a top 10 team if they lose an Notre Dame there's going to be a lot of discussion of the same old Aggies Rudy do you find yourself still like watching college football being plugged in obviously you probably follow Notre Dame you you follow all the big story lines you keep it to Notre Dame did you follow Johnny when he was playing I did because he was exciting you never know what he was going to do next uh that's what that's why he was exciting uh today's a little different you know it's the kids are different today and not not that it's bad it's just Hey listen they're getting paid and it's almost I call a train wreck waiting to happen and I'm not sure what train wreck is going to happen first uh but you know it's almost being a free agent in the National Football League now they're a free agent in college I said wait a minute um I don't understand someone's got to take control of this because these kids are good kids and and and they they just feel if things get hard uh they we have to go somewhere else I'm going to give you a little quick story about Joe Montana who was at Notre Dame he was a junior till he got his opportunity to play at Notre Dame was the middle of the season and Joe had a new coach coaching change uh from Paran recruited him and Dan Devine comes in from the Green Bay Packers and the new coaches like to have their own new recruits and make a long story short Joe came in as a seven string quarterback at Notre but his junior he was third string quarterback or maybe fourth he was he was a prep team quarterback who was not given the real plays of the starting team but one thing he understood was from his father uh who would not let him leave Notre Dame because he had every right to leave Notre Dame but never left Notre Dame he go to Pittsburgh and stayed at Notre Dame good thing he did because he got his chance to play Notre Dame his junior year and because of a couple guys getting hurt not only did he play but he come from behind and beat North Carolina then the next week he does the same thing with with Air Force Academy and that kind of start maybe this guy is somebody so they ended up playing him he ends up winning in National Championship Bill W sees the skill and talent this kid has drafts him low puts him on the bench for two years and the rust is history four times Super Bowl two times more valuable player so Joe never quit he stuck it out even though things didn't look Bri for him and the point is when things get tough in life you don't leave you don't quit because things aren't going your way you stick it out and grind it out and you will always have your opportunity if you prepare maybe it's not in a football game maybe it's in life and that's the lesson I think that needs to be taught to these kids you don't leave because things aren't going your way yeah you may get a better opportunity yeah but the grass is never Greener either so that's the train wreck I'm talking about it's later on not maybe not today all right you want to let Cooper tell the people what to do oh boy you're going to make me work here yeah come on over Cooper oh he's going to get real close yeah a Here Comes he's putting his armor on you oh I'm ready you can talk now awesome well first you got to like you got to subscribe you got to comment and lastly you got to share it with your friends appreciate everybody listening and watching we'll see you
