2:02one soccer. I did not end up posting that last thing. So pretty much kicked that to the curb to this morning. So there's that but this is the Y receiver show. Ysever episode. So the ball of blood a little more participate in the episode because look again we said this over and over myself Alex Aiden which you will be hearing from this season on the pop in the football season right. I gotta get that that I need to get I finally get touched with on that but yeah but yeah but Y receiver position has been so disappointing in whether that's built build side of 2.10 or Chris Simon this in now given the off its aligned news and everything like that. They Y receivers these Y receivers and we've heard it every single all season that man these guys catch the football

3:06excuse me these guys are catching football these guys are talented one of the guys are diverse whatever and then again in the season it'll do they don't do anything one of those receivers last year who I think kind of came on towards the end of the season that person is Ron tips and I think who was it Sean Gleason talked about it in the press conference this week that it's not he's a everybody's a leader in that why we see room in you better you hey well I should get the baby but but yeah I have to put it matchup practice with the game everybody it's just like it's just like there a lot of people gonna run fast when it's not game when the not when it's not rip off three miles at such a such pace when it comes in when it likes come on you better know how to perform baby that's what I was talking about and that's why we see a room as a whole really and it's just a purporture podcast started it has

4:13not been good I'll be straight up am good if you've been a long time following the show we have been definitely hammering the whole was why receivers this year ain't gonna be any more different because we see we continue to see the same thing it's gonna it's gonna be on that's the day today that is Ron tips the only yeah starting like it's back on there he's a part of the wire receivers but he he didn't really do anything so I'm just telling what it is so Ron tips last year back again of our case state Jess a tag shy of 50 catches 47 receptions or for nearly 600 yards last year any had three touchdowns a year ago now that and that is one of your right receiver and obviously that should be at least a corner on paper that's your number one guy right so there's that so a rejohns will have him at this disposal along with a couple others that come and came in the mix right and these get and we already talked about hey so we

5:18already talked about already already brought stirring lock it up junior for depth purposes so we'll see if just a lock and I mean we all we all claim my at one point I think it was last year there there's a lot of rumbling on case a Twitter put stirring lock it out in the football field so hey we know we know the history of lockets my now and even me that continuing to learn K-State it's like a pd but it's continuing to build it's in cyclopedia K-State football as well so yeah man what was that what's happening there but another we talked about some of these in the individual commit podcasts like Josh Manning that's the big one right there senior and he is known for the big place and originally Josh Meals was to come K-State originally for the first time right and any

6:18ditched K-State K-State from a zoo for them from ugly ass colors from a zoo the person I guess all things K-States works oh baby it's Saturday baby it feels like it feels like it's game day but we're gonna get that we're gonna get that here two weeks for sure and I am not going to be working on this is probably gonna be the last time I came up a Saturday to work so there's that I'm pretty irritated but any grier for watching my cast all this case is for us yes but it is what it is but yeah once K-State football season starts yeah that's that dang gonna happen so I I work since I have my own my own round of everything it's like that I've always the I have to gain a game work through the week if the if that pattern continues with his hat since we had a little bit of new regime going on with our group at work and here we go again

7:19spilling on work counter across the work with K-State but but but yes a little so once K-State football starts day and happen so there's that so so and then of course if I decide to go in a way to be confirmed that's definitely not going to happen so yeah yeah yeah so I'm gonna have to sacrifice my one of my days off to work every other days each day so they won't be begging me every week in you probably time pretty frustrated frustrated and then you have it's just it's just it's just a mess honestly right right now still even with the new regime that that have have to be dealt with since they've come on I want to I want to always lean back that the yeah I know I'm a mess I'm still a mess but K-State while receivers cannot be a mess

8:19this group needs to step up and answer the call right every Johnson we know obviously we know by now a lot of talent he's been he's been K-State he's been with K-State for over a minute we got we got to take a break here on the podcast here we'll be back here in just a moment here on the per-watcher podcast oh thanks he's a little x man I need I need to get that with get get that down oh that was horrible back here in the podcast edigree or sargona a little tangent here per usual on these podcasts here let's start back to the Y receivers because again they can't afford to be a mess under for a year ago to call it kind yeah manning has big playability so it's just down it's for me once it starts and obviously no and I made it established in the first half

9:21I am not going to work in okay state Saturdays uh-uh hell no so so so so yeah it's made no made sense so but anyways yes Josh Wayne ain't we y'all this is where I see your group when I show me they're gonna show me you make plays and I put the tie I write the tie ends which that I put out a separate oh separate episode um that will be a separate episode so I'm not mingling with the Y receivers because those are two rejections right there Josh Manning can you make plays right drawing tips can you improve can you build off what you did like late last year the next guy on this list I heard a lot in the last what three weeks from multiple podcast other case-late podcasts and uh tweets as well that and a person and even the coaches listening to these press conferences Brandon White Brandon White coming over from Hawaii in the portal uh shy of

10:2440 catches for your receptions under 400 yards just one yard shy of 400 yards see your go uh but he's turned a lot his I'm reading straight from the nose right so that's another one that I want to see and he's been uh from what whether it's hitting weather or uh Sean Gleason or kick coach Colin Klein he's been making a lot of head away I want to see it I want to see he's been also catching kicks kickoffs and putt returns as well being that mix as well so I mean I want to see it I want to see none of this gibber jabber and then once we see it get on the field everybody claims up and you got to translate that and that's probably the I think I was going and maybe I will still do an episode the energy translate that energy on the practice field to the football game I'm very interested to see it because obviously what comes to my mind about the energy Jordan Peterson the defense coordinator the new defense coordinator alongside Marcus Woodson the pair of

11:31those guys up uh but yeah Peterson runner around with head cut off energy and all that uh hearing lot hearing Lala Gallaghan with the previous staff under Chris Climent Chris Climent now doing some consulting under Colin that's what that's funny how that all just shook out um so there's that and I'm I'm just he listen to the Chris Climent episode when I get to it on power cat podcast but yeah yeah yeah you can you cannot that's game is usually fired up usually far this game day baby well not right now two weeks when Nichols comes to build style family stay and take on uh ari Johnson brand white zlm's drawn tubs and a case at wild cats in a couple weeks but it's it hey you got energy and you don't have energy what the hell are you doing so this this this of coach staff emphasizing energy in practice so so so so that's more made that's huge thing

12:34now I'm taking out of the out of fall can I fall camp just ended this week uh officially this week and they're beginning already uh slowly or quickly forward Nichols uh the season opener for K say football as I've we've been mentioning every day on the show for the last month or so now y'all should know that no no that by now but it just yeah that's that's wild uh so not that haven't been I don't I haven't been no practice been the case for our practices in in a minute I'm just a fan like everybody in case they feel like everybody else so I gotta know what's going on in that's the case stand I don't know what what is uh by no the client regime climate not oh boy the client man regime uh there's a lot of lack of day school lack of focus for what now what it is this coach staff like a like to has been lying a fire on to these guys asses in practice get it together that's good to hear that's good to hear uh couple individuals uh coming into becoming

13:39leaders showing guys this is how Garrett Oakland we'll get I'll get the Garrett Oakland a tight episode Garrett Oakland one of the names that uh that caught my there as well so I just it's just a man this why we see it got it get together I mean yeah there's again talent but can that talent translate to the feeling can you make plays when lights are turned on that that's the question Isaiah Williams another one will transfer over from Jordan Peterson uh uh uh uh former now a former uh stop text a and m along with Colin Klein so they see a lot of attention Isaiah Williams will see what happens there uh we already mentioned we talked about drawing tips a lot we start out with him because he's the guy that that we were raven last year and then he started out slow so so at some point other the light has to come on and say love we got to

14:40make plays where or times of quarterback and and not just we're not and not let the title to have all the fun right you guys in Amato Derek Sally in here as well uh we talked about I talked about Sal we had we talked about that so we talked about Sally we talked about most recently severs individually uh early on you got to go back to the beginning of the year when these guys were uh assimilated in the why we see we spot there as well and in the course you have a couple of notarities here Larry Porter the fourth on on this team and of course a donnis mois a sophomore as well so so so so man I mean again these are the names of the day we gotta get that you gotta start knowing we do know Josh Manning so there's there's that uh Vernon white I'm gonna see him what you got Vernon white so so yeah man I mean it's coming down to again bringing

15:43back that word consistency you can't we can't be dropping path critical third down passes in a game hey hey we we have seen that way too much in the past couple years under the climbing regime uh why are you seeing us dropping these passes and whatnot or not moving the change keeping the possession going so it is uh it's time it's time and I mean it's just to find out who is this is this group right here the why we see the room is this group gonna turn turn around and turn a new leaf or it's gonna be the same thing all hype and then more disappointment on the football field hey hey hey like I said what what do I say on on this podcast I tell what it is all right I'm I don't I'm making this up we we we we we we y'all see the KC they see y'all see the pro much of podcasts all these KC sports about to wrap up this why receiver preview edition here's we closing in on the K state 2026 football season 80 Greer yeah y'all seeing it come on now
