Fuld transskription af David Murray Interview

you know, how much pain can your 37 00:02:25.210 --> 00:02:27.909 body stand on that? And, you know, B and I 38 00:02:27.930 --> 00:02:30.210 were talking about, you know, Brock Purdy in the NFL, 39 00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:32.710 he had a couple of years ago or two, a 40 00:02:32.750 --> 00:02:34.250 year ago or two years ago, he had this and 41 00:02:35.009 --> 00:02:36.569 was out a couple of weeks, tried it, had to 42 00:02:36.610 --> 00:02:38.169 come back off the field. He was out four weeks. 43 00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:40.909 I mean, this is a situation that I don't, you know, 44 00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:43.949 envy Jeff Levy being in because Kamara Taylor may be 45 00:02:43.969 --> 00:02:45.129 done the rest of the year. I mean, he may 46 00:02:45.169 --> 00:02:47.030 come back, you know, in two weeks. We don't know. 47 00:02:47.610 --> 00:02:50.610 He's got to find an answer at quarterback. And, you know, 48 00:02:50.669 --> 00:02:52.729 I don't know that it's Billy Puckett. And we'll see 49 00:02:52.770 --> 00:02:55.509 if it's A.J. Swan. But he's got to do something 50 00:02:55.530 --> 00:02:58.550 here because this offense has gone, I mean, really just 51 00:02:58.569 --> 00:02:59.750 kaput the last two weeks. 52 00:03:01.090 --> 00:03:04.530 Well, trying to wrap it up on Taylor as of today, 53 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.580 in retrospect, of course, he shouldn't have played Saturday. But 54 00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:11.639 you couldn't know it until he tried to play. I'm 55 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.229 not getting on Levy. for playing him because I guarantee 56 00:03:15.310 --> 00:03:19.210 that Taylor was practically demanding he be allowed to play. 57 00:03:19.729 --> 00:03:21.550 And if he did, that means that the medical staff 58 00:03:21.569 --> 00:03:23.240 signed off and said he's not going to make it 59 00:03:23.289 --> 00:03:28.060 any worse. Well, but he did. And you could tell 60 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.919 on the third series, it was eerily similar to the 61 00:03:30.979 --> 00:03:33.280 play which told you, you know, that he wasn't himself 62 00:03:33.300 --> 00:03:37.060 against Alabama when he had a scramble to the right, cut, 63 00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:39.819 and all of a sudden stumbled. it was almost the 64 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.569 same identical thing this past weekend. He was scrambling on 65 00:03:42.610 --> 00:03:45.770 his last play, opening to his right, cut, and stumbled. 66 00:03:46.389 --> 00:03:49.069 And that just means that no matter how much pain 67 00:03:49.090 --> 00:03:53.449 you can tolerate, when you slam that foot down, you're 68 00:03:53.469 --> 00:03:56.490 going to react. Yes, he has the arm strength to 69 00:03:56.530 --> 00:03:58.530 make things happen in a pocket if he's allowed to 70 00:03:58.569 --> 00:04:01.400 set up, but he's just not going to be allowed 71 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.580 to set up. That's just all it comes down to. 72 00:04:05.340 --> 00:04:09.020 And defenses know it. Now,

I'll say this for Oklahoma. 73 00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:11.780 They didn't do a lot of blitzing. Once Camario was 74 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:13.580 out of the game, he took three sacks there in 75 00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:16.779 his three series. They just kind of played it straight 76 00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:19.839 and only sacked Puckett once, but there was plenty of pressure. 77 00:04:20.339 --> 00:04:24.430 So I think that stat is kind of misleading from Saturday. Texas, 78 00:04:25.910 --> 00:04:27.569 I didn't get to watch all the game with Ole Miss, 79 00:04:27.610 --> 00:04:29.509 but I've seen enough games they've played this year. When 80 00:04:29.529 --> 00:04:31.689 they want to dial up the pressure on defense, they 81 00:04:31.709 --> 00:04:34.810 can absolutely do it with their personnel. So now you 82 00:04:34.870 --> 00:04:38.230 just cannot have an immobile quarterback back there unless he's 83 00:04:38.250 --> 00:04:41.029 somebody who can get the ball out really quick, and 84 00:04:41.069 --> 00:04:42.529 that is not Billy Puck's strength. 85 00:04:43.990 --> 00:04:45.689 David Murray, make sure to get him on X, and, 86 00:04:45.689 --> 00:04:49.459 of course, you can check him out at jeanspage247sports. com, Monday 87 00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:54.259 edition of the program. So, David, where should Mississippi State 88 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.279 fans be with this? Because there's so much frustration. You know, 89 00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:00.670 I'm not one that ever cheers for a coach to 90 00:05:00.709 --> 00:05:03.029 be fired. I know there's the fringe fans that say 91 00:05:03.069 --> 00:05:05.269 he needs to go. talking about Jeff Levy, I look 92 00:05:05.290 --> 00:05:07.550 at the situation and say, hey, look, this is going 93 00:05:07.589 --> 00:05:09.610 on around the country. This is not a pass. I mean, 94 00:05:09.629 --> 00:05:11.670 you look at Ohio State, they lost a quarterback. Oregon 95 00:05:11.709 --> 00:05:14.379 lost a quarterback. They're definitely not as good on the 96 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.100 second or third team, you know, down the bench as 97 00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:19.980 they were at one. State is not as good, you know, 98 00:05:20.339 --> 00:05:22.439 down the bench as well. You look at Fluff Bothwell. 99 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.420 I mean, he had 111 yards on 17 carries, but 100 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.560 he is not healthy. I mean, Ole Miss lost their 101 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.879 running back, Kewon Lacy. This is going on around college football, 102 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.310 and I think what we're seeing is Even though these 103 00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:36.120 rosters are so expensive and they're going to continue to climb, 104 00:05:36.660 --> 00:05:38.600 there's just not enough money for depth. And you better 105 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.720 hang on because, I mean, odds of you losing somebody 106 00:05:41.779 --> 00:05:44.339 are pretty high. And if you lose a bunch of somebodies, 107 00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:46.300 then you're not anywhere where you thought you were. 108 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:51.939 Just a minute. I'm chasing a dog who's trying to 109 00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:53.759 run away. But Nellie, get back here. 110 00:05:54.709 --> 00:05:55.209 That's all right. 111 00:05:55.350 --> 00:05:57.370 She scooted out the door when I shouldn't have opened there. 112 00:05:58.089 --> 00:06:03.279 And now we're holding up traffic as a result. The situation, 113 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.259 of course, being that I think you've got to go 114 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.920 with an SEC veteran like Swan this weekend. And there's 115 00:06:11.939 --> 00:06:14.300 been the frustration, of course, he hasn't played yet. A 116 00:06:14.339 --> 00:06:17.500 lot of that's simply the fact that he's had repeated 117 00:06:17.660 --> 00:06:22.189 ankle issues since he got here in spring. He's a 118 00:06:25.009 --> 00:06:30.500 dadgum dog. He does own the place, doesn't he? Traffic stopping. 119 00:06:30.819 --> 00:06:31.779 This is awesome radio. 120 00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:33.300 No, it really is. No, it really is. 121 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:35.579 No. 122 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.959 He's had an ankle issue that was aggravated in some ways. 123 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.360 One of those guys, he either puts his foot in 124 00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:43.399 the wrong place for somebody to step on it or whatever. 125 00:06:43.829 --> 00:06:46.610 But he's cleared to go now, and I think State's 126 00:06:46.649 --> 00:06:50.550 got to ride him. I think he's got the mental toughness. 127 00:06:50.569 --> 00:06:54.769 He's been at Vanderbilt, LSU, Appalachian State. He's seen everything. 128 00:06:55.339 --> 00:06:56.699 I think you run him out there and he's just 129 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.509 not going to be too rattled by the situation in Texas. Puckett, 130 00:07:01.410 --> 00:07:03.810 bless him, he's been asked to do something that no 131 00:07:03.870 --> 00:07:06.889 freshman should be asked to do. But the fumble he had, 132 00:07:06.949 --> 00:07:12.199 the interception he threw, I just don't think it's wise 133 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.600 to run him back out there in that situation. But 134 00:07:15.259 --> 00:07:17.079 it's going to be a situation all year, I mean 135 00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:19.800 all season. Well, I guess I could go ahead and 136 00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:23.120 say all season. What do you do? Because this offense 137 00:07:23.139 --> 00:07:27.829 was built around Camario Taylor. The coaches always say, whatever 138 00:07:27.870 --> 00:07:30.430 they are, you've got to execute and run the system. 139 00:07:31.009 --> 00:07:33.990 I get it. But you have to adapt to what 140 00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:37.519 you have at the quarterback position more than anything. So 141 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.819 this is where we see Jeff Levy and staff have 142 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.139 to make some adjustments. What you can do.

You still 143 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.600 got the runners. You still got the receivers. The same 144 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.139 offensive line. It's all the man receiving the snap. But 145 00:07:48.189 --> 00:07:50.209 you've got to play to his strengths, whatever they are. 146 00:07:51.990 --> 00:07:52.550 David, Doug. 147 00:07:53.149 --> 00:07:53.430 A.J. 148 00:07:53.490 --> 00:07:56.060 Swan, what do we know as far as his availability? 149 00:07:56.449 --> 00:07:59.389 This guy was a backup to Diego Pavia at Vanderbilt, obviously. 150 00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:05.459 He's got SEC experience. He has played SEC football. Where 151 00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:07.839 he is in his recovery with Mississippi State? 152 00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:10.800 I think he's fine to go. He was dressed out. 153 00:08:11.540 --> 00:08:13.519 I saw him in the third quarter doing some passing 154 00:08:13.540 --> 00:08:16.439 on the sideline, just in case. And by the way, 155 00:08:16.459 --> 00:08:19.839 another thing, too, State had to leave the starting offensive 156 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:21.860 line in there even after it was just about a 157 00:08:21.899 --> 00:08:24.910 lost cause. because you couldn't afford to have Billy Bucket 158 00:08:24.949 --> 00:08:28.069 go down. So you're doubly risking a lot of your 159 00:08:28.089 --> 00:08:31.230 starters in a situation like that. You see the bind 160 00:08:31.250 --> 00:08:33.909 that it's in. I think Swan will be able to 161 00:08:33.929 --> 00:08:37.389 go out there, be competent. The main thing, and this 162 00:08:37.450 --> 00:08:39.850 is why I think he's going to get it this week, 163 00:08:40.909 --> 00:08:45.429 and Steve agrees with me, is because Lebby repeatedly said 164 00:08:45.470 --> 00:08:48.909 today it's all about taking care of the football. And 165 00:08:48.950 --> 00:08:54.230 when you emphasize ball security over playmaking, You've just tipped 166 00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:56.409 your hand. You've got to go with somebody you trust 167 00:08:56.610 --> 00:08:59.389 not to throw the interception, not to lose the handle 168 00:08:59.470 --> 00:09:03.409 in a goal line situation. Now, entirely different subject. Should 169 00:09:04.070 --> 00:09:07.269 Puckett have even been allowed to be in an RPO situation? 170 00:09:08.649 --> 00:09:11.250 We're sitting there going, snap it four times directly to 171 00:09:11.289 --> 00:09:15.039 Fluff Bothwell or somebody else. Snap it to Sam West, 172 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.419 for goodness sakes. But don't make a freshman quarterback have 173 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.059 to make a decision. We saw what happened when you did. So... 174 00:09:22.669 --> 00:09:25.340 That tells me you've got to change your offense for 175 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:29.419 your quarterback. It's not ideal, but it's the situation. And 176 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.480 here's the thing to remember, too, Jake. I know I'm 177 00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:35.279 getting kind of all over the

place. State can still 178 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.679 beat Vanderbilt with A.J. Swan. I really believe it. Wouldn't 179 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:39.899 that be a nice little story there? 180 00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:40.240 Oh, yeah. 181 00:09:40.539 --> 00:09:43.360 I think State could beat Vanderbilt with Billy Puckett. I'm 182 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.840 pretty confident about Tennessee Tech. So you're still on the 183 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:51.200 line for bowl eligibility even without Camario Taylor. Auburn tougher 184 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:53.840 challenge Ole Miss probably out of reach with those guys 185 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.019 but you have a chance to achieve weirdly enough what 186 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.720 was your goal going into the season Six and six 187 00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:04.019 in a bowl game. It just hurts more because you 188 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.789 see what the team could be with a full-strength Camario 189 00:10:07.830 --> 00:10:10.490 Taylor for a whole season. He is that much of 190 00:10:10.529 --> 00:10:12.950 a difference maker. That's special. Of course, that's a whole 191 00:10:12.990 --> 00:10:16.690 commentary on what they've recruited to surround him with, but 192 00:10:16.809 --> 00:10:19.789 it doesn't take anything away from the fact Taylor's that special. 193 00:10:20.090 --> 00:10:22.190 That said, you still got a chance to win some 194 00:10:22.230 --> 00:10:25.509 games here with what you have left if you adapt 195 00:10:25.769 --> 00:10:29.360 to what they can do and don't force. Put another way, 196 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.580 in that goal situation down there, first down, don't call 197 00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:36.299 a play for Camario Taylor unless Camario Taylor's on the field. 198 00:10:38.110 --> 00:10:39.870 David, we got a few minutes left here. Any other 199 00:10:39.889 --> 00:10:41.389 news we need to share on Mississippi State sports? 200 00:10:42.870 --> 00:10:44.720 Well, we had the exhibition with Memphis the other night, 201 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.559 and Josh Hubbard came off the bench. You could tell 202 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:49.799 he's not 100% speed yet. I think he had one 203 00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:53.759 decent practice before he got in there. They were rattled early. 204 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:55.620 I think Memphis is going to be pretty darn good, 205 00:10:55.659 --> 00:10:59.049 by the way. Not championship good, but they'll be entering 206 00:10:59.070 --> 00:11:02.090 their conference. Much better team than I saw last year. 207 00:11:02.409 --> 00:11:04.929 State's got a lot, a lot, a lot of chemistry 208 00:11:05.470 --> 00:11:07.950 on the court to take place. The guys like each other. 209 00:11:08.210 --> 00:11:10.129 I think they all play off each other pretty well. 210 00:11:10.850 --> 00:11:13.929 but they don't know where to be when the ball's moving. 211 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.659 They don't know yet how to get in there. What 212 00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:17.879 type of shots are going to go up and get 213 00:11:17.899 --> 00:11:21.179 rebounds and things only game experience can show. I think 214 00:11:21.299 --> 00:11:25.899 athletically they're ahead of last year, but I still have 215 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:31.179 some concerned about second chance points. I, the ball handling 216 00:11:31.230 --> 00:11:33.649 without Hubbard on the point, which we'd love to get 217 00:11:33.669 --> 00:11:37.759 them off. They're still suspect at this point. Um, Reed, 218 00:11:38.059 --> 00:11:40.500 he's going to be good. He's going to be really good. 219 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.580 He's just a little raw right now, obviously. I like 220 00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:47.649 Thomas Bassong there as a defender there. Chris Jan's a 221 00:11:47.690 --> 00:11:50.110 symbolsome talent. It's going to take a while for this 222 00:11:50.129 --> 00:11:51.509 bunch to come together to my eye. 223 00:11:52.549 --> 00:11:53.909 Make sure to get him on X. Check him out 224 00:11:53.929 --> 00:11:57.509 at jeanspage247sports. com. He's David Murray. David, appreciate you as always. 225 00:11:57.950 --> 00:11:59.289 Have a great week, sir. We'll do it again soon. 226 00:12:00.289 --> 00:12:02.529 Jake, as I go chase down one of our deadly 227 00:12:02.580 --> 00:12:05.500 attack Morkies here, it's always good to talk to you all. 228 00:12:05.769 --> 00:12:06.129 Likewise. 229 00:12:06.250 --> 00:12:09.649 David, stay out of that traffic. Appreciate you. David Murray, 230 00:12:09.669 --> 00:12:12.029 Chasing Dogs, and doing radio interviews. Brought to you by 231 00:12:12.070 --> 00:12:16.320 Gunline Shooting in Carthage.

I'm ready to make a splash with 240 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:42.399 clearer skin thanks to Sky Rizzy, Rizankizumab Rizza.

At four months, most people saw 90% 243 00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:52.000 clearer skin when measured from head to toe, and many 244 00:12:52.019 --> 00:12:56.460 were even 100% plaque-free. People also saw significant improvement in 245 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.379 psoriasis symptoms of pain, redness, itching, and burning. 246 00:12:59.830 --> 00:13:02.850 Don't use if allergic to Sky Rizzy.
