You can ask all these questions to Eric yourself. Let us begin rapid fire. How satisfied or unsatisfied do you think must-champ is with his defense so far?
Well I like the hand gestures on the intro. It reminded me a bit of Chris Farley. Capture the audience dude. You might need to lean into that. It brings you back up. Well obviously they're pretty happy, fairly happy. They just understand that it's a process of playing fast. They feel like the install went good in August and even in the spring that everything installed even before August or most of it. Obviously they put in packages, dime and other things. But it's another thing to play fast and react to what the office is doing. You know they don't see everything that they don't see everything that Ohio State is going to run in August. Can't right? So you have to react to it on the fly the different formations, the motions, the shifts. Everybody has to communicate. They feel like it is a good it's a work in progress but also in a good place as well. So I know fans want this much-champ shutdown elite defense that they saw as first time. Well I mean it's probably coming. It's just needs a little bit more time. Does Germain Bishop need to get some looks at kick return or punt return soon? Nibblet has had some issues catching the ball to pass three games. And next game Nibblet will now
score. Right. This same conversation is last year but that's the end. Well I mean if the whole thing about not playing a true freshman back there is you care about ball security but you know if he's bouncing them off his face mask like I said on the board then you kind of lose that advantage. And I do think that Germain Bishop is a more dynamic athlete. In the straight line Nibblet's going to get him an erase but football's not played in straight lines. Initial quickness is just as important as straight line speed maybe more so. So you know I don't I asked this question actually to see if there was any offering. I don't think so yet but this would be the game you do it. If not now it went you know if they don't do it now it would require Nibblet's it really going a bad run. I think they should give them some looks in the second half on punt return but kick return probably not on that. Yeah. What do we take away from that game as far as what the team really is? That felt like a bizarro game. We thought the team would lean in to turn over margin explosives, deal dominance and instead we won with great o-line play and long methodical drives.
That was a trip. Yeah plan A. Plan A got hung up with you know mistakes the fumble the turnover the unfortunate Cam Coleman interception I can't bring myself to call the archmaning interception just a bad run of plan it kind of a kind of avalanche on them so they had to regroup and win the game differently but fortunately because I mean you know I say this you know within the context of the game fortunately Ohio State changed its plan too. They hung back and forced Texas to drive the ball run the ball Texas they able to run the ball. You know last week we talked about this on the board where there's the big debate about whether or not you take out that big run against Texas State if you take that run out then it shows poor effectiveness down and down effectiveness and that's that's the importance of taking out that big run a lot of fans will I will the big run counts sure it counts but they would not have beaten Ohio State with that same run game with that big run and then a lot of less effective runs they were able to drip drip drip the run game and part of that was because Ohio State reacted to having its own lead. Yeah did we learn something that says
this team's strengths maybe quite a bit different than expected. One thing I'm kicking around on my head is you know after the first well first of all all August camp we heard that the run game was going well and the defense the run defense was going well there was a little give and take there and then that first game we're kind of looking around going man these guys might be maybe they looked okay at times because they're equally average. Now I think they are fairly equal but they're above average I think that's what we're learning at least as far as the run game and the run defense but obviously the offensive line and the tight ends blocking is better than what we expected now we heard good things about pass pro we expected that just based on the the makeup of the players and we heard good things about the the tight ends but we didn't know it was it would be this good that they were this effective they have set a very high floor for the the offense and you know as they get as they lean into it more and the you know archmaning gets on a better connection with his water severs and they cut down on the mistakes we're going to start seeing that explosiveness become a hallmark of this team we haven't quite seen the playmaking was the
longest play against Ohio State 22 yards I thought I think yeah how on earth right I mean we tried I mean we tried the SEC logo got came yeah yeah it was there and then you know they took the deep shot to bishop as well but yeah I think they're in a better place for how this team is starting off counter intuitive as it is I think that you know you want to set the floor with the run game and offensive line is you know I'm I'm borderline about to issue an apology I'm not quite there yet yeah they look good man what was up with justice Terry not playing against Ohio State with all we had heard about him in fall camp I thought he'd get he'd lock significant reps in that game yeah turf toe warm up injury just super unfortunate I think it really played out in the game I watched the read I did the rewatch yesterday as far as just a full blow in all 22 and you could see there were times where there was Lance Jackson and Zina's Oomia Zulu lined up together on the line lancin before I and you know there just wasn't enough heft over there I really think that justice Terry would would play and nicely and then you put Lance Jackson out there as well
out further outside of him get a little bit more size and strength it was I think it was unfortunate also the defensive line did a really good job holding its gaps and playing laterally but not a whole lot of playmaking in the backfield so that's where he missed justice as well that's coming don't worry there's another player general Williams it's coming with him too unfortunately a unfortunate timing with the injury with justice I wanted to see him go against that offensive line but we got plenty of justice Terry left ahead of us I am extremely skeptical circle ever expand the wide receiver rotation but he has to for them to get through the season I'm not a skeptic I think it'll definitely happen do you yeah I think they love germane bishops some more because he because he's so much because he plays all three of them and now hey I only have to expand the the the roster the one more player and I can get away with this yeah um he just thinks that the deep shots when they're called have to be hit and executed and they've got to be on the same page he just he feels that the the opportunity is too big to miss and that's why that wing go drop
was a little unfortunate because that opportunity was there I don't think he's gonna expand it much but obviously you can't use our house state to go by they had a very short bench shortest bench they're gonna have all season except maybe going into lsu the bench is gonna be expanded especially once they feel a little bit better about the defense we didn't see the defense of playmaking the havoc plays to get the offense back on the field quickly once he feels better about the defense getting them to ball back feels comfortable with leads he'll he'll expand it a little bit but not much that's good just slightly are you ready to love your kitchen and bathroom again looks kitchen and bath will bring that to life looks has been offering high-end kitchen and bathroom remodels for three generations throughout the greater Austin area with five star review after five star review on google and facebook and an a plus rating from the better business bureau you can put your faith in lux kitchen and baths award-winning designers and skilled craft people to bring your dream vision to life but that's not all lux is all star team also provides full home remodels

when it's early in the season to see what themes carry over into the season the defense did knock out a whole lot of balls and they you know they they created some some interceptions not a 10 interceptions but definitely some but they were punching the ball out and we're seeing the ball get loose on the on the ground getting punched out and that that's something they have to clean up asap because they really should have lost that game just over fumbles yeah without a doubt and given our lack of success on outside zone for only two games do you think that makes o u a and m games more challenging because that's the scheme that has actually been there a keelies heel against us that's a good question that question happened about probably 12 hours after i was laying in bed thinking about it myself uh i was wondering hey where's the outside zone because i love that scheme so much i feel like it opens up so much in the in the play action game uh and we haven't quite seen it yet i think they're just i you know i don't know if it's just that they're finding more success running downhill so they don't want to change it up certainly you don't want to start tinkering against Ohio state i think part of it is that we are in a smaller sample size um maybe some of it is goosby hasn't
been a hundred percent uh which obviously he's going to be a staple there i want to see it a little bit more because in august they were running it quite a bit to great effect um not great effect but good effect type of effect you would think would be great effect against you to expect uh it's so it's you know small sample size but also hey man we know that his preference is to run downhill vertical run game vertical pass game uh and they were able to run the vertical run game against Ohio much too much to our surprise so they're in a good spot there uh but i do want to see Ohio state build up because i know they have i know they have a full lot in the playbook uh based off of outside zone working yeah i think Ian and his run breakdown we talked about this more than we only ran it like twice for Ohio state oh yeah it's a lot again a small sample size some of these guys aren't playing because small rotations some of that they didn't feel the need to they didn't want to mess with rotations and bring in extra players um i think the same thing went with with what schemes were working regarding arch is he just what he is at this point aka a damn good college quarterback or is there hope that he can learn to see the field more clearly and work through his
progressions more effectively during this season no there's absolutely another gear for him to hit uh just playing with more confidence letting it rip uh faster a little bit better processor you know we we talk about he's got the Eli ice water in his veins he's got his grandfather's athleticism in toughness i feel confident that deep down buried in there somewhere it is not patents exact processor but some sort of but an upgraded processor than what he currently has that will come with more time but you know it's it's so funny that some of his best throws the most incredible players are when he's under pressure uh and then you give him all day and it's like man i've got too many options it's like you know when you're at the buffet you go to the one of those high-end buffets and it's like do i want the lobster do i want the steak um i think it's paralysis paralysis by over analysis and yeah and when he asks somebody in his face he doesn't have that time that luxury that's to overthink it um but i don't know exactly we we need more time to figure this one out because it it was evident to me i said in the second quarter this guy needs to come back uh at least based on how the mannings view readiness for the NFL obviously any other guys leaving uh but i
you know i do think there's a good chance he comes back if he doesn't if we don't see steep improvement uh but also it could come on quick uh especially as he realizes man i do have time i know this guy's about to come over if i just wait one more split second uh and things could start clicking pretty quick i stopped listening after he said you went to buffets with lobster and steak man i'm i'm a going karel guy man where are these where are these lobster and steak balls? so while you end up at a high-end buffet and you're like damn do you want to go to our store? yeah mine mine's folgarate show dude every birthday we're going to folgarate. yeah folgarate is great too don't give me wrong that place is wonderful everyone head over to inside texas one dollar for one week join us ask questions and you don't even have to legally do it in a q&a there's a pro tip you can just tag Eric and ask him and then i'll have to come in and answer whether he wants to or not everyone have a wonderful day and we will see you later etl a law group California's injury law firm has taken on many types of cases from slips and falls accidents dog bites and other negligence injury cases we don't back down we take the fight to court
