Welcome in the gun Slinger, the quarterback signed tist of

Speaker 1 (01:18):
We got John Beck on the LiLine. John, How there
are you, buddy?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I'm doing good, Ben, How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Fantastic? Week zero is under our belts? What did you
make of Week zero college football? Did you get to
watch any games? Did you get to evaluate any games?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Only a little bit? Last week? It was a pretty
big busy weekend for the Beck House, so I mean
I got to catch a little bit. I was kind
of following on some of the games, especially the ones
of teams that BYU was going to play, and so
I was paying attention to, you know, the Portland State game.
I was paying attention to the Stanford game, and so
just looking ahead to those future opponents the BAU has
in week one and week two.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
What conclusions did you come away with from the Portland
State game and the Stanford.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Game should be two to zero. I mean, look, I
think that way. You think about BIU starting a freshman
quarterback and understanding it's somebody that you know, this is
going to be his first ever time running out onto
college football field, and he's going to be the starter,
first time throwing a path in a college football game.
(02:19):
He's doing it as a starter. There's going to be
a lot of first and you know, young players have
to go through learning experiences, and so to be able
to go through that against teams that, if we're just
being honest, probably aren't that great a football teams right now,
that should help a young quarterback have success. You want
a quarterback to go through successful periods while also receiving
(02:44):
enough learning experiences, but in ways that it still can
be like a successful overall experience. So what I'm trying
to say is let them go through learning situations. But
it would be so great if those learning situations don't
impact the team in a way that it ends up
losses because of the quarterback play I've seen it a
(03:07):
number of times. I've seen quarterbacks similarly go through learning
experiences and in one situation, that player's team player A
still finds a way to win because either the opponent
isn't that great, the team around him can make up
for his mistakes. It doesn't they're not as costly. And
then you go to player be another situation, maybe they're
(03:27):
playing against much tougher opponents, maybe their team isn't quite
as good around him, and then when he make mistakes,
those mistakes are compounded, those mistakes are more meaningful. So
it's going to be great for Bear, a young player
who's still going to have to learn some things. But
I believe it's going to be an environment where there's
going to be far more success and it's still going
to equate to wins rather than any mistake that falls
(03:50):
on his shoulders ends up really hurting the team.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, two and Zho is.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
In expectation right now, you have a prognostication. I know
you have been able to watch any of these other teams,
yet the UCUS right, Colorado all.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
On the dock, at u of A, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
What do you think BOE's record will be through six
games with a true freshman quarterback that has a robust
supporting cast. They have, Bear has continuity of scheme and
coaching and culture Kalani A Rod, J Hill, K Pop.
There's a good support structure around Bear. What do you
think b what you can be in their first six games?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Well, BYU is not rebuilding. BYU has a huge core
of players that are back as starters. It's a coaching
staff that's been together for a long long time. You know,
really this was a year where BYU was expected to roll,
especially if you know with like before Jake Redflaff left.
(04:51):
So I look at that team and I look at
the other teams that b YU has coming up. Outside
of the two weeks spoken about ECU, nobody's counting them
as a super tough opponent. West Virginia rebuild, right, They're
bringing in Rich Rod, a new like, new staff, new everything.
Then you go to Arizona, they lost some key pieces.
(05:11):
Colorado before that, they lost a lot of key pieces.
You know, they're having to start a new quarterback, They're
having to rebuild in a lot of areas. I can't
sit there and say that BOU is going to be
undefeated because it's college football. You got to go out
through every Saturday or Friday night and you got to play.
You got to find a way to win. And every opponent,
I would imagine, is viewing BYU as what great opportunity
(05:32):
for our football team to go out and have a
staple win, A big win for a program. You know,
a West Virginia team, that would be huge for them
to be BYU, East Carolina, Colorado, Arizona. I mean you
can go down the list of all these teams. It
would be a huge thing for their program to get
a win against BYU. So everybody's going to be gunning
for him, and they also know how talented YU. So look,
(05:54):
do I think BYU should have a winning record? Absolutely?
Do I think they have an opportunity to win every game? Absolutely?
I bet BYU is going to be favored in almost
every one of those games that we just talked about.
Now again, it just comes down to playing football on
Saturday and Friday and finding a way to play your
best when your best is needed.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
What words of advice would you give Bear if you
were consulting with him in preparation for his first start
as a true freshman and going into this slate of
games that are winnable, right, but there's gonna be some
formidable foes here. By week four you do go on
the road versus East Carolina. BIA has lost in the
past to East Carolina on the road. So there's some
(06:33):
some definitely some trials that are going to be on
the horizon for Bear, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I would say to trust his instincts. He has played
a lot of football over the years. He I think
he has great instincts, and so it can be sometimes
you feel like, oh, now I'm a college player. I
have to level up. Truthfully, you level up by the
more experience you get. Just trust your instincts, play what
(07:01):
you see, you know, and also because he's a guy
that can take off with his feet and make the
play happen. It's okay if you don't see everything perfectly.
At the end of the day, not every play is made.
Because a quarterbacks see things perfectly and execute every play
exactly how it's drawn up. Sometimes you don't see it perfectly,
sometimes your eyes in the wrong spot, but you can
go create a play. That's why coaches sometimes will pick
(07:23):
the starting quarterback or lean on a guy that just
has the ability to create and Bear has that ability.
So I think the big thing for him is just
playball the way you've always played and then let things
play out, let the chips fall where they may, and
if mistakes happen, just just move on. There's nobody in
that building that's going to be questioning give you pick
the right guy. There's no good like, there's not going
(07:45):
to be anybody that's super disappointed if he makes a mistake.
It's just all part of the process for a young
quarterback and to just go out and just keep playing
and keep cleaning.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
So John this, Yeah, I wrote a kind of a
a long piece of why I think Bear Blackmeer has
a good chance to be successful in twenty twenty five.
What does success looks like look like if you're a
true freshman quarterback this season, would you say, like, you know,
(08:15):
what are some of like objective data metrics that you
would say, Hey, ideally this is what success could look
like for Bear.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Well, I'm probably not going to jump into data metrics
because a lot of that deals with numbers and outcomes
and sometimes that stuff that's out of his control. The
thing I think is he's on a good football team,
So to me, it's going to be the balance between
making some special plays which he's capable of, and balancing
(08:44):
that with being smart and limiting the bad decisions at times.
Young quarterbacks when trying to create plays, they're used to
being able to make certain plays against the high school competition.
Right well, the competition is going to be a bit
better right around on like defensively, guys that he's going
to be going against, And so it's just it's managing
(09:06):
some of those situations within a game of do I
need to try to squeeze this ball in right here?
Or am I in the situation where I just need
to get down, get out of bound, throw the ball
away and allow my team to punt the ball to
them and flip the field. Like, it's those type of things.
It's not always about having to make special and great
(09:26):
plays all the time. Sometimes it's about managing the situation
of a game and limiting the really costly turnovers or
the bad decisions. And so, like I think for Bear
it's going to be him just understanding the type of
team that he's on and the situation that he's playing in.
This is not a team that is having to go
into games and say all right, We're going to have
(09:48):
to create a lot of plays for us to find
a way to beat our opponents. It's going to be
about executing the offense, understanding the game plan. When the
shot opportunity is there, take it, and when it's not,
be smart with the football.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Bears an interesting personality.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I actually chatted with Max Hall about the dynamics of
personality in the key leadership position quarterback, and I look
at Max and your personalities. Two different types of players,
two different types of personalities, two different types of skill
sets that led by U two double digit wins and
(10:26):
iconic seasons. When you look at the expansive personalities that
have led b YU over the years, the the Auschus
Ty deptmer right, the Taysom Hill personality. You go back
to Gifford and Robbie Bosco and all these Like, what
what do you learn?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You know, what perspective could you provide us?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You know, in regards to the personalities and the skill
sets that lead b YU at the quarterback position and
how that impacts maybe the surrounding play of the team.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Well, you gave a good point of all the different
personalities of all those guys, right, you don't have to
be a certain way. There isn't a formula where you
have to shift your personality to be something you're not,
or you have to be what somebody else did that
had a lot of success. I mean, just to look
(11:18):
at the NFL, there are tons of quarterbacks that have
different levels of success and like great quarterbacks, and they're
all different personality wise, you know. I think the big
thing that they probably all carry though, that is across
the board very similar, is competitiveness. I think every single
guy you named right there, the ones that I know
(11:41):
well and the ones that I kind of know, I
would say all of those guys carry a level of
competitiveness that is very very high. So even though the
personalities might be different, the competitiveness is always there. And
so for a guy like Bear, Look, Bear's a bit
on the quiet side, he just is, but I know
he's a very very competitive guy and he's gonna lead
(12:03):
in his own way a lot of the times. What
I've learned about quiet guys is when they do speak up,
everybody's listening. Sometimes the loud guys, the raw, raw guys,
always have something to say. Truthfully, not everybody's listening to
everything because they're so accustomed to it. So sometimes that
quiet guy that just goes about his business, when he
(12:24):
does open his mouth and say something, everybody is listening
and keenly aware. And I think that's probably Bear. Bear's
going to be a bit on the quiet side. But
I know he's super competitive. I know he's very driven,
and I know that when he opens his mouth, guys,
you're gonna listen.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, what's interesting.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
So I've kind of fractured or partition like the three.
I don't know if it's personalities, but three like main
kind of tenets to the personality that I've seen work
at the quarterback position.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I feel like there's.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
One personality that's a little bit louder, bodacious, like just
kind of rambunctious. They have like the superiority complex of
like I can do anything. Like they have this this
belief in themselves and they let everybody know about it
in almost an abrasive way. And then you have like
the repetitious individual that is so detail oriented and and
(13:17):
so like judicious about their own individual organizational design and
habits that they they rep things out so well and
have you know, failed along the way and had success
along the way, and then they just become desensitized to
like the the moments, right, these big moments, and they're
just so well prepared. And then you have like these
(13:40):
emotional like stoics that are just naturally like not deterred
by like these high moments.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
They're just like their biochemistry is a certain it's a
certain formulation where they're just like even keel all the time.
And I'm sure you've seen so many different personalities and
certain individuals that are that are like that. But like
when you kind of try to partition at what do
you see in these quarterbacks that lead high level teams?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Well, yeah, I think you so you brought up some
good points as you were talking about certain guys I
was thinking about to my experience or guys that I
know that are like that. You know, you see some
personalities like a Baker Mayfield, right, a guy that was
a walk on in college, went to Texas Tech. You
know you can say the bravado, Yeah, the way that
he carries himself, right, you know, Jim McMahon, right, like
(14:35):
they kind of fall they kind of fall into that line.
Some other guys like a guy that's going to be
starting for the Cleveland Browns here at age forty. Joe
Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco is not a loud guy. He
was a very quiet guy. When we were at the
Ravens together, the coaching staff was wanting him to stay more,
be more, be louder, and I remember times that he
would vent to me, like, why are they trying to
have me do this? Like I've never been that. That's
(14:58):
not going to be me. My teammates took a to
know that's fake. Just let me go about my business.
And one thing about Joe was, here's a guy that
would play in the AFC Championship game like four of
his five first years I think in the league, and
he was just had this way about him where nothing
was too big. He was just always calm handled it.
(15:19):
You know, there's a really great book called called Relax
and Win where they were training guys in the military,
and it was a track coach that the military had
brought in and the military was looking for certain traits
and they were getting it wrong. And they were putting
these guys up in these airplanes and wondering like, well,
we were grabbing the guys that test best on paper,
why are they failing in the air in critical moments,
(15:42):
and he goes, well, it's because you're grabbing the wrong guys.
You're grabbing the guys that get too elevated in those
high intensity moments. You want the guys that actually have
the ability to just have a natural calmness. And he
said it's the brook Trout look. Put them into those
really pressure packed, high intent situations and when you look
at that their faith, there is no arousal, there's no
(16:04):
heightened pressure or anything from them. They're just handling it
like any other place. And you mentioned that in your
quarterback description, and that's how I view Joe Flacco. Like
it didn't matter if it was practice or the AFC Championship.
Joe literally looked like the same guy you know. And
I think though that there is a natural attraction of
(16:25):
people on a team to certain guys in terms of
that is our leader, And it doesn't mean you have
to lead the same way, But I think there's an
honesty and integrity to your personality style. And then when
that is also teamed up with drive a willingness to
give a lot, people in the building can sense it
and see it when you are giving a lot for
(16:47):
a purpose, when you're driven to put in extra time.
When the attention to your craft, players can feel it
and see it. Those things matter probably more than what
comes out of your mouth. It's what you do. And
so I think those are some of the attributes that,
regardless of personality style, have to show up. When people
(17:08):
see an extremely talented guy that carries himself with all
this confidence, and he comes across as super confident, but
he's one of the first guys out of the building,
he's one of the last guys to show up in
the morning, barely before meetings. He's not really studious in
what he's doing, and at times he's making mistakes during
the week because he hasn't studied his game plan. It
doesn't matter how talented or how confident you carry yourself.
(17:30):
Guys just aren't going to follow that. They're going to
follow the guy whose characteristics, his patterns, his behaviors and
habits exude the type of person that they want to
follow on the football field.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Love that perspective that only you can give John Beck
Quarterback Scientists, three DQB Trained, three DQB dot Com. I
do want to let everybody know that's listening. If you
have quarterbacks within the walls of your Home three. QB
has a great in season program for you. If you
want to watch film, shoot it only quarterbacks Stewart do
you can you watch film with other kids and in
(18:04):
their parents when they're they're they're struggling with.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Something, Hu be Cube. Here's the thing I will say
that I have had done. I mean, I've done a
number of work with athletes in different sports. I've worked
with girls, soccer, girls softball, basketball, baseball, just because of
the mental performance side of things. I love the sports
(18:27):
psychology aspect and and just really the the experience that
athletes go through and how there's similar things that they
experience despite the difference in sports. So much of what
a person feels when competing, participating, auditioning, those type of things,
earning a spot, being benched, being cut, being told you
the basketup, Like, there's all this myria out of experiences
(18:50):
that happen that are so similar across sports. And so
because of that, I'll get reached out by, you know,
somebody that knows somebody that I worked with and they say, Hey,
my daughter is a soccer player, or hey, my nephew.
I was talking to my brother his son he's going
through this he's a basketball player, and you talk to
his son who was a quarterback. Is there any way
(19:10):
you can talk to him? And so really it's about
everybody can benefit from the acquisition rasor understanding of what
is happening in their mind and their body throughout this
experience of sports, and as they understand themselves better and
what they're experiencing. A lot of the times, it's just
being okay with what you're experiencing is normal. So many
(19:33):
kids chalk it up as I wish I didn't feel
like this, or this must mean I'm not going to
perform well, or I'm having anxiety because I feel this way. Well,
the reality is you're experiencing something normal that the physiological
makeup of your body, what it's going through, is preparing
you to actually go out and perform. It's not wrong.
(19:54):
You don't need to chalk that up as I'm feeling
feelings that don't feel comfortable. Start viewing though, as this
is a normal process. As my body goes into something
that I care about, something that I've trained a lot for,
so it feels like a lot is on the line.
That's normal. Now, let's talk about what you can do
when you feel those normal feelings. Once you've normalized them.
(20:16):
Now let's put a plan together so you have some
tools to now better prepare yourself for what happens next.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Love that perspective.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Guys, connect with trained John at train three DQB dot
com if you're a quarterback or just looking for that
mental edge. I got one last thing for John before
we let you go. I'm writing a piece I'm gonna
publish at ksel dot com. I also put out an
X tweet about this why I believe Bear Blackmeyer has
a good chance, a solid chance of being successful in
twenty twenty five. And then I want you to reflect,
(20:46):
as I'm going through all these components, if you could
go back in time and take one or two of these,
what would have been the most impactful for you to
be successful immediately as a true freshman when you had
to lead by once upon a time. So this is
what I said. Four star recruit, nationally recognized. He had
offers from elite Purmose. He's got good clay right Alabama, Georgia, Michigan,
(21:07):
Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas A and m Stanford Uta.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
E Yu, amongst others.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
He's got dual threadability six two to twenty five. He's got
a good build, comes from a football family, high football IQ.
That means something gained early college experience at Stanford during
spring ball, giving him some familiarity with the personnel and
base schemes of Stanford.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That's game two. That's that's a nice notch at his belt.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I guess described as brilliant for Aaron Roderck and his
high school coach said he's got a photographic memory. First
six games are all winnable, NBA should be favored, actually
needs matchup. Three of the first games for first six
games are at home in Lavelle Edward Stadium. Week three
by allows for maybe early adjustment, correction and recovery, avoids
immediate matchups against the toughest Big twelve defenses that that
(21:52):
that are on that seven, eight, nine, ten, You know
game weeks supporting cast l J. Martin, Scionimo, Chase Roberts,
Parker Kingston, Jojo Phillips, Cody Hagen. You got Carson Ryan
and keaneid tenured offensive line with multiple returning starters. You
have a projected top twenty five defense, projected top twenty
five special teams unit. You have Kilane's culture and consistency,
(22:13):
allowing for more stability and less volatility within the team
in regards to their roles identity. Offensive coordinator has a
solid recent track record of developing young quarterbacks within his
architecture continuity of offensive staff in scheme, so stability for
a young quarterback has beneficial quarterback friendly system with play action,
rhythm pros and design mobility. Lavelle Edwards always provides a
(22:36):
significant home field advantage. You get six of those new
strength and conditioning program that has helped the team healthier
late in the season the last two years. You do
have increased depth I think with the Big twelve brand,
and you've been able to reload, and then you have
vet friend leadership and culture on the roster creating a
supportive environment for fresh and QB.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
If you could take a couple of those.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
From two you can comment on any of them, But
if you could take a couple of those, which ones
would have been most beneficial to you when you were
a true freshman starter coming off of me?
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Well, look, I think those are all great. This is awesome.
I mean really, what we need to do is say
what a great situation that BYU has provided for a
freshman quarterback. Not all freshman quarterbacks get to come into
situations with all of those things going for them. You
really need to help young quarterbacks by what you have
established around them, consistency, opportunities for growth, help around them
(23:30):
when they might not be at their best or when
they might not see things. So like, how cool is
it that BYU was in a place to help support
and lift up a freshman player. And I believe Bears
a really talented kid, and I think it's going to
be a great opportunity for him. When I look back
on my experience as a freshman, there were things, you
know that I missed three football seasons because of my mission.
(23:52):
Ideally we were hoping to only miss two. But back
in those days, you know the whole when you put
your mission call in, when you got your call, Like
I was trying to leave the beginning of August, I
ended up getting called for November, so I missed an
additional football season. Would it have been great to not
have missed so much football before I started as a freshman. Absolutely.
(24:13):
I think one of the things that's been great for Bear.
I mean I followed Bear for years, his stat lines.
The kid's been throwing the ball thirty forty times a game,
sometimes fifty times a game for.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
A number of years.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
All of that equals experience in situational decision making. As
a quarterback, you have to know what it feels like
to manage tons of situations with the ball in your hand.
I love the high school I went to the Mountview, Toros.
We were a great football team. We had a ton
of success, but we probably only threw the ball over
twenty times in a game twice the whole time I
(24:47):
was there. Most of the time it was between ten
and fifteen, and we had a great running game. So situationally,
when I got to college football, one of the biggest
things I had to learn and I needed to gain
more experience in was those six situational decision making with
the ball in my hand, beginning as a passer and
managing more first and second downs and then leading to
third down decision making as a passer. Scheme wise is
(25:10):
another thing, Like all of those things were very new.
So as I look to the landscape of college football
and high school football and what it is right now,
I think high school football players received such better instruction
in terms of the scheme and the play that these
kids are running in high school or preparing them to
be able to step in earlier. It's not such a
(25:33):
big jump schematically. I just remember that feeling when I
first got to Gary Croton's offense. I was a I
was so excited because, man, this is amazing. I've always
dreamed in playing of a system like this, but I
hadn't experienced a system like that in terms of what
was being asked of me, and so it was the very,
very new. I think Bear in this situation is bringing
(25:54):
a lot of experience in a system he ran in
high school, and also what he has probably experienced at
Stanford that's going to help him be successful as a
young football player. So much of it at quarterback is
about vision. What have your eyes seen, your mind process,
and your body experience in terms of what's happening around you.
(26:15):
You can't just watch it on TV or look at
a playbook and then drop yourself in there and expect
to do everything right. You have to experience that. And
so when I look back at my growth as a
young player, it was the need to experience that type
of an offense, all of those things. Having really been
out of football for three football.

We got John Beck on the LiLine. John, How there
are you, buddy?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I'm doing good, Ben, How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Fantastic? Week zero is under our belts? What did you
make of Week zero college football? Did you get to
watch any games? Did you get to evaluate any games?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Only a little bit? Last week? It was a pretty
big busy weekend for the Beck House, so I mean
I got to catch a little bit. I was kind
of following on some of the games, especially the ones
of teams that BYU was going to play, and so
I was paying attention to, you know, the Portland State game.
I was paying attention to the Stanford game, and so
just looking ahead to those future opponents the BAU has
in week one and week two.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
What conclusions did you come away with from the Portland
State game and the Stanford.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Game should be two to zero. I mean, look, I
think that way. You think about BIU starting a freshman
quarterback and understanding it's somebody that you know, this is
going to be his first ever time running out onto
college football field, and he's going to be the starter,
first time throwing a path in a college football game.
(02:19):
He's doing it as a starter. There's going to be
a lot of first and you know, young players have
to go through learning experiences, and so to be able
to go through that against teams that, if we're just
being honest, probably aren't that great a football teams right now,
that should help a young quarterback have success. You want
a quarterback to go through successful periods while also receiving
(02:44):
enough learning experiences, but in ways that it still can
be like a successful overall experience. So what I'm trying
to say is let them go through learning situations. But
it would be so great if those learning situations don't
impact the team in a way that it ends up
losses because of the quarterback play I've seen it a
(03:07):
number of times. I've seen quarterbacks similarly go through learning
experiences and in one situation, that player's team player A
still finds a way to win because either the opponent
isn't that great, the team around him can make up
for his mistakes. It doesn't they're not as costly. And
then you go to player be another situation, maybe they're
(03:27):
playing against much tougher opponents, maybe their team isn't quite
as good around him, and then when he make mistakes,
those mistakes are compounded, those mistakes are more meaningful. So
it's going to be great for Bear, a young player
who's still going to have to learn some things. But
I believe it's going to be an environment where there's
going to be far more success and it's still going
to equate to wins rather than any mistake that falls
(03:50):
on his shoulders ends up really hurting the team.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, two and Zho is.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
In expectation right now, you have a prognostication. I know
you have been able to watch any of these other teams,
yet the UCUS right, Colorado all.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
On the dock, at u of A, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
What do you think BOE's record will be through six
games with a true freshman quarterback that has a robust
supporting cast. They have, Bear has continuity of scheme and
coaching and culture Kalani A Rod, J Hill, K Pop.
There's a good support structure around Bear. What do you
think b what you can be in their first six games?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Well, BYU is not rebuilding. BYU has a huge core
of players that are back as starters. It's a coaching
staff that's been together for a long long time. You know,
really this was a year where BYU was expected to roll,
especially if you know with like before Jake Redflaff left.
(04:51):
So I look at that team and I look at
the other teams that b YU has coming up. Outside
of the two weeks spoken about ECU, nobody's counting them
as a super tough opponent. West Virginia rebuild, right, They're
bringing in Rich Rod, a new like, new staff, new everything.
Then you go to Arizona, they lost some key pieces.
(05:11):
Colorado before that, they lost a lot of key pieces.
You know, they're having to start a new quarterback, They're
having to rebuild in a lot of areas. I can't
sit there and say that BOU is going to be
undefeated because it's college football. You got to go out
through every Saturday or Friday night and you got to play.
You got to find a way to win. And every opponent,
I would imagine, is viewing BYU as what great opportunity
(05:32):
for our football team to go out and have a
staple win, A big win for a program. You know,
a West Virginia team, that would be huge for them
to be BYU, East Carolina, Colorado, Arizona. I mean you
can go down the list of all these teams. It
would be a huge thing for their program to get
a win against BYU. So everybody's going to be gunning
for him, and they also know how talented YU. So look,
(05:54):
do I think BYU should have a winning record? Absolutely?
Do I think they have an opportunity to win every game? Absolutely?
I bet BYU is going to be favored in almost
every one of those games that we just talked about.
Now again, it just comes down to playing football on
Saturday and Friday and finding a way to play your
best when your best is needed.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
What words of advice would you give Bear if you
were consulting with him in preparation for his first start
as a true freshman and going into this slate of
games that are winnable, right, but there's gonna be some
formidable foes here. By week four you do go on
the road versus East Carolina. BIA has lost in the
past to East Carolina on the road. So there's some
(06:33):
some definitely some trials that are going to be on
the horizon for Bear, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I would say to trust his instincts. He has played
a lot of football over the years. He I think
he has great instincts, and so it can be sometimes
you feel like, oh, now I'm a college player. I
have to level up. Truthfully, you level up by the
more experience you get. Just trust your instincts, play what
(07:01):
you see, you know, and also because he's a guy
that can take off with his feet and make the
play happen. It's okay if you don't see everything perfectly.
At the end of the day, not every play is made.
Because a quarterbacks see things perfectly and execute every play
exactly how it's drawn up. Sometimes you don't see it perfectly,
sometimes your eyes in the wrong spot, but you can
go create a play. That's why coaches sometimes will pick
(07:23):
the starting quarterback or lean on a guy that just
has the ability to create and Bear has that ability.
So I think the big thing for him is just
playball the way you've always played and then let things
play out, let the chips fall where they may, and
if mistakes happen, just just move on. There's nobody in
that building that's going to be questioning give you pick
the right guy. There's no good like, there's not going
(07:45):
to be anybody that's super disappointed if he makes a mistake.
It's just all part of the process for a young
quarterback and to just go out and just keep playing
and keep cleaning.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
So John this, Yeah, I wrote a kind of a
a long piece of why I think Bear Blackmeer has
a good chance to be successful in twenty twenty five.
What does success looks like look like if you're a
true freshman quarterback this season, would you say, like, you know,
(08:15):
what are some of like objective data metrics that you
would say, Hey, ideally this is what success could look
like for Bear.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Well, I'm probably not going to jump into data metrics
because a lot of that deals with numbers and outcomes
and sometimes that stuff that's out of his control. The
thing I think is he's on a good football team,
So to me, it's going to be the balance between
making some special plays which he's capable of, and balancing
(08:44):
that with being smart and limiting the bad decisions at times.
Young quarterbacks when trying to create plays, they're used to
being able to make certain plays against the high school competition.
Right well, the competition is going to be a bit
better right around on like defensively, guys that he's going
to be going against, And so it's just it's managing
(09:06):
some of those situations within a game of do I
need to try to squeeze this ball in right here?
Or am I in the situation where I just need
to get down, get out of bound, throw the ball
away and allow my team to punt the ball to
them and flip the field. Like, it's those type of things.
It's not always about having to make special and great
(09:26):
plays all the time. Sometimes it's about managing the situation
of a game and limiting the really costly turnovers or
the bad decisions. And so, like I think for Bear
it's going to be him just understanding the type of
team that he's on and the situation that he's playing in.
This is not a team that is having to go
into games and say all right, We're going to have
(09:48):
to create a lot of plays for us to find
a way to beat our opponents. It's going to be
about executing the offense, understanding the game plan. When the
shot opportunity is there, take it, and when it's not,
be smart with the football.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Bears an interesting personality.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I actually chatted with Max Hall about the dynamics of
personality in the key leadership position quarterback, and I look
at Max and your personalities. Two different types of players,
two different types of personalities, two different types of skill
sets that led by U two double digit wins and
(10:26):
iconic seasons. When you look at the expansive personalities that
have led b YU over the years, the the Auschus
Ty deptmer right, the Taysom Hill personality. You go back
to Gifford and Robbie Bosco and all these Like, what
what do you learn?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You know, what perspective could you provide us?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You know, in regards to the personalities and the skill
sets that lead b YU at the quarterback position and
how that impacts maybe the surrounding play of the team.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Well, you gave a good point of all the different
personalities of all those guys, right, you don't have to
be a certain way. There isn't a formula where you
have to shift your personality to be something you're not,
or you have to be what somebody else did that
had a lot of success. I mean, just to look
(11:18):
at the NFL, there are tons of quarterbacks that have
different levels of success and like great quarterbacks, and they're
all different personality wise, you know. I think the big
thing that they probably all carry though, that is across
the board very similar, is competitiveness. I think every single
guy you named right there, the ones that I know
(11:41):
well and the ones that I kind of know, I
would say all of those guys carry a level of
competitiveness that is very very high. So even though the
personalities might be different, the competitiveness is always there. And
so for a guy like Bear, Look, Bear's a bit
on the quiet side, he just is, but I know
he's a very very competitive guy and he's gonna lead
(12:03):
in his own way a lot of the times. What
I've learned about quiet guys is when they do speak up,
everybody's listening. Sometimes the loud guys, the raw, raw guys,
always have something to say. Truthfully, not everybody's listening to
everything because they're so accustomed to it. So sometimes that
quiet guy that just goes about his business, when he
(12:24):
does open his mouth and say something, everybody is listening
and keenly aware. And I think that's probably Bear. Bear's
going to be a bit on the quiet side. But
I know he's super competitive. I know he's very driven,
and I know that when he opens his mouth, guys,
you're gonna listen.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, what's interesting.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
So I've kind of fractured or partition like the three.
I don't know if it's personalities, but three like main
kind of tenets to the personality that I've seen work
at the quarterback position.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I feel like there's.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
One personality that's a little bit louder, bodacious, like just
kind of rambunctious. They have like the superiority complex of
like I can do anything. Like they have this this
belief in themselves and they let everybody know about it
in almost an abrasive way. And then you have like
the repetitious individual that is so detail oriented and and
(13:17):
so like judicious about their own individual organizational design and
habits that they they rep things out so well and
have you know, failed along the way and had success
along the way, and then they just become desensitized to
like the the moments, right, these big moments, and they're
just so well prepared. And then you have like these
(13:40):
emotional like stoics that are just naturally like not deterred
by like these high moments.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
They're just like their biochemistry is a certain it's a
certain formulation where they're just like even keel all the time.
And I'm sure you've seen so many different personalities and
certain individuals that are that are like that. But like
when you kind of try to partition at what do
you see in these quarterbacks that lead high level teams?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Well, yeah, I think you so you brought up some
good points as you were talking about certain guys I
was thinking about to my experience or guys that I
know that are like that. You know, you see some
personalities like a Baker Mayfield, right, a guy that was
a walk on in college, went to Texas Tech. You
know you can say the bravado, Yeah, the way that
he carries himself, right, you know, Jim McMahon, right, like
(14:35):
they kind of fall they kind of fall into that line.
Some other guys like a guy that's going to be
starting for the Cleveland Browns here at age forty. Joe
Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco is not a loud guy. He
was a very quiet guy. When we were at the
Ravens together, the coaching staff was wanting him to stay more,
be more, be louder, and I remember times that he
would vent to me, like, why are they trying to
have me do this? Like I've never been that. That's
(14:58):
not going to be me. My teammates took a to
know that's fake. Just let me go about my business.
And one thing about Joe was, here's a guy that
would play in the AFC Championship game like four of
his five first years I think in the league, and
he was just had this way about him where nothing
was too big. He was just always calm handled it.
(15:19):
You know, there's a really great book called called Relax
and Win where they were training guys in the military,
and it was a track coach that the military had
brought in and the military was looking for certain traits
and they were getting it wrong. And they were putting
these guys up in these airplanes and wondering like, well,
we were grabbing the guys that test best on paper,
why are they failing in the air in critical moments,
(15:42):
and he goes, well, it's because you're grabbing the wrong guys.
You're grabbing the guys that get too elevated in those
high intensity moments. You want the guys that actually have
the ability to just have a natural calmness. And he
said it's the brook Trout look. Put them into those
really pressure packed, high intent situations and when you look
at that their faith, there is no arousal, there's no
(16:04):
heightened pressure or anything from them. They're just handling it
like any other place. And you mentioned that in your
quarterback description, and that's how I view Joe Flacco. Like
it didn't matter if it was practice or the AFC Championship.
Joe literally looked like the same guy you know. And
I think though that there is a natural attraction of
(16:25):
people on a team to certain guys in terms of
that is our leader, And it doesn't mean you have
to lead the same way, But I think there's an
honesty and integrity to your personality style. And then when
that is also teamed up with drive a willingness to
give a lot, people in the building can sense it
and see it when you are giving a lot for
(16:47):
a purpose, when you're driven to put in extra time.
When the attention to your craft, players can feel it
and see it. Those things matter probably more than what
comes out of your mouth. It's what you do. And
so I think those are some of the attributes that,
regardless of personality style, have to show up. When people
(17:08):
see an extremely talented guy that carries himself with all
this confidence, and he comes across as super confident, but
he's one of the first guys out of the building,
he's one of the last guys to show up in
the morning, barely before meetings. He's not really studious in
what he's doing, and at times he's making mistakes during
the week because he hasn't studied his game plan. It
doesn't matter how talented or how confident you carry yourself.
(17:30):
Guys just aren't going to follow that. They're going to
follow the guy whose characteristics, his patterns, his behaviors and
habits exude the type of person that they want to
follow on the football field.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Love that perspective that only you can give John Beck
Quarterback Scientists, three DQB Trained, three DQB dot Com. I
do want to let everybody know that's listening. If you
have quarterbacks within the walls of your Home three. QB
has a great in season program for you. If you
want to watch film, shoot it only quarterbacks Stewart do
you can you watch film with other kids and in
(18:04):
their parents when they're they're they're struggling with.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Something, Hu be Cube. Here's the thing I will say
that I have had done. I mean, I've done a
number of work with athletes in different sports. I've worked
with girls, soccer, girls softball, basketball, baseball, just because of
the mental performance side of things. I love the sports
(18:27):
psychology aspect and and just really the the experience that
athletes go through and how there's similar things that they
experience despite the difference in sports. So much of what
a person feels when competing, participating, auditioning, those type of things,
earning a spot, being benched, being cut, being told you
the basketup, Like, there's all this myria out of experiences
(18:50):
that happen that are so similar across sports. And so
because of that, I'll get reached out by, you know,
somebody that knows somebody that I worked with and they say, Hey,
my daughter is a soccer player, or hey, my nephew.
I was talking to my brother his son he's going
through this he's a basketball player, and you talk to
his son who was a quarterback. Is there any way
(19:10):
you can talk to him? And so really it's about
everybody can benefit from the acquisition rasor understanding of what
is happening in their mind and their body throughout this
experience of sports, and as they understand themselves better and
what they're experiencing. A lot of the times, it's just
being okay with what you're experiencing is normal. So many
(19:33):
kids chalk it up as I wish I didn't feel
like this, or this must mean I'm not going to
perform well, or I'm having anxiety because I feel this way. Well,
the reality is you're experiencing something normal that the physiological
makeup of your body, what it's going through, is preparing
you to actually go out and perform. It's not wrong.
(19:54):
You don't need to chalk that up as I'm feeling
feelings that don't feel comfortable. Start viewing though, as this
is a normal process. As my body goes into something
that I care about, something that I've trained a lot for,
so it feels like a lot is on the line.
That's normal. Now, let's talk about what you can do
when you feel those normal feelings. Once you've normalized them.
(20:16):
Now let's put a plan together so you have some
tools to now better prepare yourself for what happens next.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Love that perspective.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Guys, connect with trained John at train three DQB dot
com if you're a quarterback or just looking for that
mental edge. I got one last thing for John before
we let you go. I'm writing a piece I'm gonna
publish at ksel dot com. I also put out an
X tweet about this why I believe Bear Blackmeyer has
a good chance, a solid chance of being successful in
twenty twenty five. And then I want you to reflect,
(20:46):
as I'm going through all these components, if you could
go back in time and take one or two of these,
what would have been the most impactful for you to
be successful immediately as a true freshman when you had
to lead by once upon a time. So this is
what I said. Four star recruit, nationally recognized. He had
offers from elite Purmose. He's got good clay right Alabama, Georgia, Michigan,
(21:07):
Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas A and m Stanford Uta.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
E Yu, amongst others.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
He's got dual threadability six two to twenty five. He's got
a good build, comes from a football family, high football IQ.
That means something gained early college experience at Stanford during
spring ball, giving him some familiarity with the personnel and
base schemes of Stanford.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That's game two. That's that's a nice notch at his belt.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I guess described as brilliant for Aaron Roderck and his
high school coach said he's got a photographic memory. First
six games are all winnable, NBA should be favored, actually
needs matchup. Three of the first games for first six
games are at home in Lavelle Edward Stadium. Week three
by allows for maybe early adjustment, correction and recovery, avoids
immediate matchups against the toughest Big twelve defenses that that
(21:52):
that are on that seven, eight, nine, ten, You know
game weeks supporting cast l J. Martin, Scionimo, Chase Roberts,
Parker Kingston, Jojo Phillips, Cody Hagen. You got Carson Ryan
and keaneid tenured offensive line with multiple returning starters. You
have a projected top twenty five defense, projected top twenty
five special teams unit. You have Kilane's culture and consistency,
(22:13):
allowing for more stability and less volatility within the team
in regards to their roles identity. Offensive coordinator has a
solid recent track record of developing young quarterbacks within his
architecture continuity of offensive staff in scheme, so stability for
a young quarterback has beneficial quarterback friendly system with play action,
rhythm pros and design mobility. Lavelle Edwards always provides a
(22:36):
significant home field advantage. You get six of those new
strength and conditioning program that has helped the team healthier
late in the season the last two years. You do
have increased depth I think with the Big twelve brand,
and you've been able to reload, and then you have
vet friend leadership and culture on the roster creating a
supportive environment for fresh and QB.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
If you could take a couple of those.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
From two you can comment on any of them, But
if you could take a couple of those, which ones
would have been most beneficial to you when you were
a true freshman starter coming off of me?
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Well, look, I think those are all great. This is awesome.
I mean really, what we need to do is say
what a great situation that BYU has provided for a
freshman quarterback. Not all freshman quarterbacks get to come into
situations with all of those things going for them. You
really need to help young quarterbacks by what you have
established around them, consistency, opportunities for growth, help around them
(23:30):
when they might not be at their best or when
they might not see things. So like, how cool is
it that BYU was in a place to help support
and lift up a freshman player. And I believe Bears
a really talented kid, and I think it's going to
be a great opportunity for him. When I look back
on my experience as a freshman, there were things, you
know that I missed three football seasons because of my mission.
(23:52):
Ideally we were hoping to only miss two. But back
in those days, you know the whole when you put
your mission call in, when you got your call, Like
I was trying to leave the beginning of August, I
ended up getting called for November, so I missed an
additional football season. Would it have been great to not
have missed so much football before I started as a freshman. Absolutely.
(24:13):
I think one of the things that's been great for Bear.
I mean I followed Bear for years, his stat lines.
The kid's been throwing the ball thirty forty times a game,
sometimes fifty times a game for.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
A number of years.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
All of that equals experience in situational decision making. As
a quarterback, you have to know what it feels like
to manage tons of situations with the ball in your hand.
I love the high school I went to the Mountview, Toros.
We were a great football team. We had a ton
of success, but we probably only threw the ball over
twenty times in a game twice the whole time I
(24:47):
was there. Most of the time it was between ten
and fifteen, and we had a great running game. So situationally,
when I got to college football, one of the biggest
things I had to learn and I needed to gain
more experience in was those six situational decision making with
the ball in my hand, beginning as a passer and
managing more first and second downs and then leading to
third down decision making as a passer. Scheme wise is
(25:10):
another thing, Like all of those things were very new.
So as I look to the landscape of college football
and high school football and what it is right now,
I think high school football players received such better instruction
in terms of the scheme and the play that these
kids are running in high school or preparing them to
be able to step in earlier. It's not such a
(25:33):
big jump schematically. I just remember that feeling when I
first got to Gary Croton's offense. I was a I
was so excited because, man, this is amazing. I've always
dreamed in playing of a system like this, but I
hadn't experienced a system like that in terms of what
was being asked of me, and so it was the very,
very new. I think Bear in this situation is bringing
(25:54):
a lot of experience in a system he ran in
high school, and also what he has probably experienced at
Stanford that's going to help him be successful as a
young football player. So much of it at quarterback is
about vision. What have your eyes seen, your mind process,
and your body experience in terms of what's happening around you.
(26:15):
You can't just watch it on TV or look at
a playbook and then drop yourself in there and expect
to do everything right. You have to experience that. And
so when I look back at my growth as a
young player, it was the need to experience that type
of an offense, all of those things. Having really been
out of football for three football.
