Speaker 1 (00:00):
As we continue on a Tuesday here on sports Radio
AM thirteen hundred zers, we mentioned Texas assistant coaches, three
of them made available today for the medium, and one
of those is Jeff Banks, who is the tight ends
coach and the special teams coaches we know, and he
(00:20):
was asked a variety of questions about both of those
areas today And I think it started off with being
asked right out of the gate, trouble with my managing
(00:42):
my laptop here for a moment, And the first question
was about Michael kern Yeah, on him and the new
puntering situation and all of them. Yeah, because Michael Kerney
is a freshman coming in from Saint Thomas Aquiteas down
in the Miami area, and it's one of the real
heavy duty question mark about this Texas team is punter
having a new punter, and so this falling under coach
(01:06):
banks perview, he was asked about it.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, you know, we've got it's any anytime here a
true freshman in major college football, there's a transition person.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So we've got a limited opportunity to work with him
the summer.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I love I love his build.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I think he's got really good tools physically athletically to punt,
not only athletically to catch.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
The ball and get the ball off quick enough.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
But I think he's got a really very very good
strong leg flexible. I like that he's coming from St.
Thomas Aquinas, which is a herald that high school program
where they've played for championships, so he has the competitive
major we're looking for. We've got two really good walk
ons that have been here for a year or two,
and Ian rat left for.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Charlie Ferris, and so we've got three guys.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And how the next days Ago will tell me all
about those three guys and who's the best guy for
the job. And I think as a staff, we understand
that that's the one position that we're going to have to,
you know, have some patience. And unfortunately I don't have
a lot of patients. And I've already told my assistance
to make sure I have more patience.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
But I'd be a bad doctor. But I do think
he's going to be really good at some point.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
And you know, how that plays out will be what
happens on the field.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
But everything will be charged. Everything just like just like
any position.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Everything will be looked at and scrutinized, and then we'll
have to, you know, be smart the first four games
before we get into confidence to evaluate that position and
be critical.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
For who gives us the best chance.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now, with regard to special teams, you talked about variety
of things, and over the next few days we'll hear
him speak on these things. But one of the things
is that C word culture. Because as much as Sark
talks about it, Coach Banks he's been with came over
with him from Alabama, says it permeates throughout not only
the players, but the culture that the coaches have amongst
(03:11):
one another helps carry it forward.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Michael Taff and Mo Blackwell, So, I mean, there's no
two better guys in our program for the special team
aspect of the game. How they work, how they drill,
their attentiveness and meetings, their ability to tell people how
we're going to do it, to lead not only by
(03:35):
example but verbally, Hey, that and how we do it,
get back in line this way, redo the drill that way,
taking guys aside during the practice why I'm coaching and
coaching them on how we do it.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Those two guys are phenomenal. They've been with us the
whole time. They're as good of guys as we've had.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And you know, I mentioned Brendan Schooler and Keilan robinsons
core guys that have made their mark already in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
These two guys are right in that mold. So those
two are going to be our leaders, there's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And we've got a good nucleus of second year players
with Trey Wisner and Leona Lafou, Jelani McDonald and Derrick
Williams that all played very well for us on teams.
So those would be the next group of guys that
I think younger players could look to. And then these
young guys, I mean, it's awesome, and it's like Christmas
in is a lofe, you know, like getting ready to
(04:30):
open up the presence.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
And see what we got.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But I do think there's a there's a very strong
nucleus of athletic players that are freshmen or newcomers.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
We just got to kind of figure out how that goes.
And we hope.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Obviously that spring and having the ability to do these
drills and practice the techniques will give them an opportunity
to be successful this fault camp.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
And then I think I look at it. You know,
I look at it a certain way. I think we
all look at it a certain way. Different This could
be a longer.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Season with the two bye weeks, with the ability to
play Hospel sixteen seventeen games. I think we're going to
have to We're going to need more players. You know,
it's a SEC's logo just means more. As their their motto.
It just means more to us. We have to use
more players. We have to make more plays if we're
going to win a championship. We got to the playoff,
we didn't win the championship. So that'll be my message
(05:18):
tonight to the players on how we get that done.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Good stuff there from him.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
He mentioned something about the amount of games that could
be played, and I'll go back to that at a moment,
but I want to go back to Kyle Flood, the
long range co offensive coordinator of the offensive line coach.
We heard some things from coach Flood last hour, and
you know, he was asked, if you know, with with
(05:44):
several new receivers coming in and obviously big weapons like
Xavier Worthy and Ady Mitchell and JT.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Centers all having moved on.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Although there are talented guys who are stepping into those roles.
It would be a natural thing for a lot of
folks to think that they might lean on the running game,
since they have such a strong offensive line, that they
might really lean on that running game at least early on.
But what doesn't necessarily see it that way.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I don't think we look.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
At it like that, And I'm stark, and I now
we're going into our eighth year together.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I don't think we've ever really looked.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
At it like that, and I don't think he calls
the game like that. I think for us, you know,
we always strive to be balanced, and we've got even
though we don't have the returning starts necessarily here at
Texas for that position group that we do with some
other positions, we had a lot of confidence in that
in that receiver room. I think I was looking at
it this morning before he came in here. You know,
(06:40):
we've got I think nine receivers who are ultimately going
to take reps with the ones and twos this training camp,
and we haven't been anything near that in the three
previous years that we've been here.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
So it's a talented room.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Coach Jackson's had a good offseason with those guys, and
I think as we get closer to the first game,
you know, a month from now, we're gonna have plenty
of confidence to go in the game to try to
be as balanced like we always do.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Okay, So as balanced as they are and as talented
as they are, it doesn't mean they're not without their
need areas of improvement. So gob Flood was asked about
what areas does he really want to see his guys
improve upon and and work with regard with the offensive
line this year, there.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Are always specific things for the players, you know, we
try to have an individual, individualized program for each of
those guys to get better, and that's why we do
the evaluations at the end of the year. But ultimately,
you know, whatever position you're playing, it's it's the mastery
of the skill set to play the position is the
(07:47):
mastery of the fundamentals at your position. So are there
are there little nuanced differences between somebody maybe who plays
left tackle and somebody plays center. Sure there are, But
and does each player have something that we want to
get a little bit better at shore And sometimes that
is changing your body, you know, sometimes it's it's it's
something like that or sometimes it might be something specific
from a from a from a blocking standpoint, run or
(08:11):
pass or screens. But when we go into the office,
it's never like, hey, we gotta we got to make
sure we do this. I don't think you can. You
can be that narrow minded when you're doing it. We
want I want these guys to be better.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
At all of them.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, that's that's certainly a way to look at it.
And and then you know, in talking about uh, this
particular offensive line and the fact they have so many
veterans and the fact that they have depth, uh you know,
going he wants to go six seven eight, that sort
(08:46):
of thing. It brings to mind how an offensive line
can make the entire offense look better. And uh, that
also goes to pocket protection as well, not only for
viewers and not only the offensive line, says Coach Flood.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
The old thing.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
About it's taking a village, well it does that when
it comes to pocket protection as well.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Pass protection at a high level really becomes what I
call eleven man pass protection.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
It really is. It's all of it.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
It's the offensive lineman keeping the integrity of the pocket,
making sure that we're working inside out when the launch
point is behind the center. Obviously we have different launch
points also for the different protections.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
But then it's you know, where does the running.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Back fit into the protection, How did the tight ends
fit into the protection? The route runners making sure that
they're running their routes at the proper depths so that
the quarterback can get the ball out on time.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I think like all of.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Those things go into being to pass protection.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
At a really high level.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
And then with regard to the defense, and we heard
a little bit from Pete Kokowski last hour, the Long
Warns defensive coordinator, one of those one of those questions
also came down to the new addition to the guy
working in the secondary as Johnny Nansen. And you might
imagine p K would get along with Nanson really well
(10:07):
because they know each other from.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
A long, long time ago.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It's been great. We worked together at Montana State. I
know Johnny a long time.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Now. He's been awesome to bring in see stuff that
he did at Arizona. It's gonna help us. And he
does a good job with his linebackers and he's a
good comcruiter, and yeah, it's been awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And with regard to one of the linebackers being called
upon this year, that's of course Anthony Hill. And incidentally,
p K did not say he was asked who's going
to have the helmet communication, he said, I don't know yet.
It's either going to be a linebacker or a safety.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
So could be.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Jade Baron, could be a Jylen Gilbo, could be an
Anthony Hill. Anthony Hill played on the outside last year.
Of course, jayleen Ford was in the middle. What about
on the inside this year and the move inside from
the outside linebacker for Hill, well.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
That's his natural position though, yeah, that's his natural position.
We put him off the edge last year just you know,
as a freshman it's a little bit less thinking.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
You know, just go and play.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Play ball, you know, and you know you saw him
do that, making making some big plays in games and
just just rushing the pass and playing defensive end. But
his natural position is inside linebacker, and so you know,
moving him into that jaylen Ford role and then you know,
(11:42):
we do a pretty good job of moving moving those
guys around.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
So you're still going to see him off the.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Edge doing doing some different things that way. But he
just has to note for the ball. And I joked
with him last last year during naf season.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
You know you're here. You're a hell of a lineback.
You're a hell of a you're a hell of a
football player, but you're you're not a very good linebacker.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And it was a compliment because he has a note football.
He makes place, but like the details and the play
at linebacker, he had get better at it.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
He has how does he encourage because Jay don't get
back and the ball. Yeah, he's fine.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And last year he was a little bit, you know,
just would revert to his what he did in high
school service seatball, getball. And so he's gotten way better
and his drops breaking on the ball, and then.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Just the understanding of what he needs to do in
the defense. Which defensive player will have a helmet communication
in it, I don't know yet anybody, And uh, it's
got to be a linebacker or safety.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Yeah, so it could be that.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I did find it interesting what he said about Anthony Hill
when he said he told him, you're a hell of
a football player, but you're not a very good linebacker,
Which tells you how quickly Hill had to ramp up
his football IQ coming from that playing on that outside
(13:11):
of his linebacker. Like you said, Seaball, get ball to
learning the nuances and the intellect of the position, especially
moving inside now. So that's going to be important for
Hill in his continued development and progression. But he's very,
very excited about him thinks that he could have he
could be one of those guys. He was asked, you
(13:33):
know who might be Butkus Award candidates, and he mentioned
Hill as a possible award when again he talked about
several different members of his defense and could wind up
being award candidates as well. We'll hear more from the
long Ward coaches coming up next hour. Up next the
latest chapter in a bizarre story involving an outstanding former
(13:58):
running back of the National Football League.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
We'll get to that when we
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Continue here on this Tuesday afternoon here in warm Austin, Texas,
USA on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone and
the iHeartRadio app.
As we continue on a Tuesday here on sports Radio

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Now. He's been awesome to bring in see stuff that

does a good job with his linebackers and he's a

p K did not say he was asked who's going
to have the helmet communication, he said, I don't know yet.
It's either going to be a linebacker or a safety.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
So could be.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Jade Baron, could be a Jylen Gilbo, could be an
Anthony Hill. Anthony Hill played on the outside last year.
Of course, jayleen Ford was in the middle. What about
on the inside this year and the move inside from
the outside linebacker for Hill, well.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
That's his natural position though, yeah, that's his natural position.
We put him off the edge last year just you know,
as a freshman it's a little bit less thinking.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
You know, just go and play.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Play ball, you know, and you know you saw him
do that, making making some big plays in games and
just just rushing the pass and playing defensive end. But
his natural position is inside linebacker, and so you know,
moving him into that jaylen Ford role and then you know,
(11:42):
we do a pretty good job of moving moving those
guys around.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
So you're still going to see him off the.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Edge doing doing some different things that way. But he
just has to note for the ball. And I joked
with him last last year during naf season.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
You know you're here. You're a hell of a lineback.
You're a hell of a you're a hell of a
football player, but you're you're not a very good linebacker.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And it was a compliment because he has a note football.
He makes place, but like the details and the play
at linebacker, he had get better at it.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
He has how does he encourage because Jay don't get
back and the ball. Yeah, he's fine.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And last year he was a little bit, you know,
just would revert to his what he did in high
school service seatball, getball. And so he's gotten way better
and his drops breaking on the ball, and then.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Just the understanding of what he needs to do in
the defense. Which defensive player will have a helmet communication
in it, I don't know yet anybody, And uh, it's
got to be a linebacker or safety.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Yeah, so it could be that.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I did find it interesting what he said about Anthony Hill
when he said he told him, you're a hell of
a football player, but you're not a very good linebacker,
Which tells you how quickly Hill had to ramp up
his football IQ coming from that playing on that outside
(13:11):
of his linebacker. Like you said, Seaball, get ball to
learning the nuances and the intellect of the position, especially
moving inside now. So that's going to be important for
Hill in his continued development and progression. But he's very,
very excited about him thinks that he could have he
could be one of those guys. He was asked, you
(13:33):
know who might be Butkus Award candidates, and he mentioned
Hill as a possible award when again he talked about
several different members of his defense and could wind up
being award candidates as well. We'll hear more from the
long Ward coaches coming up next hour. Up next the
latest chapter in a bizarre story involving an outstanding former
(13:58):
running back of the National Football League.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
We'll get to that when we
Speaker 1 (14:00):
