jamal rule um and he's been they've been clamoring clamoring about him all offseason um he was a guy who was ej did ej barthel brian did he give him his first power five offer
BrianHOST
uh no his final group was nebraska virginia tech and pitt
JustinHOST
So EJ Barthel, our running back coach has this crazy, but he was
BrianHOST
number one on their board.
JustinHOST
Crazy.
Connor HapperHOST
And there was running backs in there and there was running backs with connections to Nebraska.
Connor HapperHOST
There was running backs with connections to EJ Barthel.
Connor HapperHOST
And I just thought that it would behoove them to, to, take a crack at one of those guys and get them on the roster.
Connor HapperHOST
And maybe, maybe one of those guys comes and they end up in the same spot anyway.
JustinHOST
But I feel like this is a...
JustinHOST
Shout out to EJ Barthel.
JustinHOST
Man,
BrianHOST
I've been speaking highly of him for years.
JustinHOST
Thanks.
JustinHOST
Shout out EJ Barthel, Johnson Rule, with no powerful offers.
BrianHOST
crazy to think about dude he's the best coach on that staff position
JustinHOST
100% agreed uh mckay and jamal both look great jamal's a freshman looking like grown-ass man a little surprising mckay had a bad handoff early uh but meh first game it got better uh yeah mckay outside of that that one little slip up was great the whole game um is shavers okay We'll find out.
Mike'l SevereHOST
I got a text.
Mike'l SevereHOST
yesterday saying, and then there's another one just now from Devin Stevens, a buddy of mine who said that EJ Barthel might be the best running backs coach in America.
Mike'l SevereHOST
If you remember what he did at UConn, he had this really unique four-headed monster at UConn where they all had like 400 yards or more.
Mike'l SevereHOST
And then you see that first year he gets here and he's got a bunch of different guys and he's trying to figure things out with Dowdell and Ramir Johnson and Emmitt and all those guys.
Mike'l SevereHOST
I think as we go along, he'll get some opportunities as well.
Mike'l SevereHOST
But if nothing else, the two-headed monster of Rule and Nelson looks pretty good going forward.
Mike'l SevereHOST
And you've got to give credit to EJ Barthel for coaching those guys up and doing the job he has done with them.
Mike'l SevereHOST
Great job.
Gary SharpPANELIST
And they show you that they have elements of being really good.
Gary SharpPANELIST
And then it leads into maybe we need to send a mea culpa to EJ Barthel.
Gary SharpPANELIST
You guys ready to do that? Or if you were down on him, or you're like, when Rule is telling you that our feet to the fire, I believe in this running back, and you were like, bullshit! You know, you ever play that game of bullshit? It's a card game, yes.
Gary SharpPANELIST
Because they might have three guys
Nick BaheHOST
Maybe Chambliss has to be that guy.
Nick BaheHOST
I wrote down EJ Barthel.
Nick BaheHOST
He's been saying this is the best running back room I've had since I've been in Nebraska.
Nick BaheHOST
You're replacing an All-American.
Austin JacobsenHOST
... and I could be, maybe I'm, like, foolish confidence when it comes to the running back room.
Austin JacobsenHOST
I feel like it is a little bit more by committee, but I think by the time we get to the end of the season, we will feel comfortable, and it's the EJ Barthel of it.
Austin JacobsenHOST
Like, that, that's how I feel more confident-
Robbie LulaHOST
Yeah
Robbie LulaHOST
impressive.
Robbie LulaHOST
Is that an EJ thing for EJ Barthel thing for you? Because I felt like from Emmitt's previous years to last year he became more it seemed like he became a lot more elusive I don't know if it was a vision thing but it seemed like we saw a version of
Tim VergheseGUEST
a very much like especially around them in practice it very much feels like they work on the the stop start and the making the guys miss in the phone booth um because that's that's that's the that's the next step for the running backs a lot of times is is yeah making those guys miss in space and Emmitt's is contact avoidance.
Tim VergheseGUEST
Emmitt does a really good job of keeping his body healthy.
Ravi LullaHOST
What am I not supposed to? You think Emma Johnson, E.J.
Ravi LullaHOST
Barthel had the same game? I'm not supposed to give E.J.
Ravi LullaHOST
Barthel credit.
Ravi LullaHOST
Why are you coming at me for? What are you yelling at me for? I'm just saying.
Austin JacobsenHOST
You're getting all spicy, and I don't like it.
