Brent HubbsGUEST
He went to work.
Brent HubbsGUEST
And he got more opportunities in November as things shook out with Peyton Lewis and things and Star Thomas.
Brent HubbsGUEST
And he got chances.
Brent HubbsGUEST
And in getting those chances, he found a little bit of success.
Brent HubbsGUEST
I mean, he wasn't sure, but he put his head down.
Brent HubbsGUEST
He went to work, and he got more opportunities in November as things shook out with Peyton Lewis and things and Star Thomas, and he got chances.
Brent HubbsGUEST
And in getting those chances, he found a little bit of success, but more importantly, I think he found out what he needed to do to get better and what he needed to do was he had to get stronger physically he's done that in the weight room he's put on 20 pounds he had to maintain his speed he's done that but he also had to learn to play running back in not only in this offense but at this level he was a guy in high school was a really good player but he was just he was a straight speed guy in high school I mean, he was a one cut, go speed guy.
Brent HubbsGUEST
He was sprint to the edge speed guy.
Ramon FosterHOST
huge
Mike KeithGUEST
because he's the fastest yeah i mean he he can really really go he's one of the fastest guys on this football team he got here at 182 he now weighs 205 wow we know he'd been well coached at oakland and so he he comes into a program with a level of expectation and then all of a sudden you've got other guys You know, you've got Star Thomas and you're playing with a guy like Deshaun Bishop.
Mike KeithGUEST
And, you know, you're in those situations where you're having to fight to get that time.
Mike KeithGUEST
Peyton Lewis was there.
Mike KeithGUEST
Yeah.
Mike KeithGUEST
Javen Gordon is still figuring out, kind of like Star Thomas did, still kind of figuring out how you run in this system, how you wait for, you know, Desaun Brame to come through and hit that block, and then you bounce it.
Mike KeithGUEST
DeJuan Morris has figured that out, and he can really, really scoot.
Mike KeithGUEST
He's one of the five fastest guys on the team.
6 MINS LATER
Mike KeithGUEST
And he had Kitzelman, who was more of that nasty in-line tight end.
Brent DoughertyHOST
Loved him.
Mike KeithGUEST
So they've got to, you know, can Thomas become the in-line guy? Can can Brame do more of the three down now that he's gained all the weight? Can Luca Wolf, the freshman from Austria, have a chance to help them now? But I mean, it's a big loss.
Mike KeithGUEST
There's a very, very big loss because of what they were utilizing with the 12 personnel loss.
Mike KeithGUEST
Yeah.
Mike KeithGUEST
Javen Gordon is still figuring out, kind of like Star Thomas did, still kind of figuring out how you run in this system.
Mike KeithGUEST
How you wait for, you know, Desaun Brame to come through and hit that block and then you bounce it.

Brent HubbsGUEST
They're coming into a room of talented guys right now too because Deshaun Bishop's playing at a terrific level.
Brent HubbsGUEST
And again, the growth of DeJuan Morris has been really, really fun to watch really sense about the second week of November last year when he started getting some, you know, he was a part of the regular rotation when Peyton Lewis was out of it and it became more about DeJuan Morris and less about Star Thomas as well.
Brent HubbsGUEST
He really started to get a feel for things and man, you can see how much he's grown from that in the way that he played Saturday night.
Brent HubbsGUEST
And then I just think Bishop's such a productive player.
Peter BoerschGUEST
Like, it's been, it's been incredible.
Peter BoerschGUEST
Everyone in that room, like Star Thomas and Morgan Runge as well, and Tomas Bertrand-Hudon have all been nothing but extremely kind to me, and I think that they all, um, they all wanna see me succeed and they give me a lot of advice and opportunity to do so.
Peter BoerschGUEST
And, um, you know, it's, it's pretty ex- special as well for a position group because Runge and, uh, Harris both played junior football as well, so they, they actually really know what I'm talking about.
Peter BoerschGUEST
Like, Runge played in the PFC and, um, yeah, like, everyone there has, is extremely wise and talented and knows a lot about football, much more than I do, and I, I just love to soak it all in.
Brent HubbsGUEST
They're coming into a room of talented guys right now too because Deshaun Bishop's playing at a terrific level and again the growth of DeJuan Morris has been really, really fun to watch.

Josh WardHOST
Thoughts on getting Deshaun more involved or the running backs more involved in the passing game? Deshaun caught one pass for 15 yards, so he had 162 from scrimmage, but any thoughts there, opinions on the running backs potentially being more involved or their role, what it is in the passing game?
Ollie LaneGUEST
You know, I felt like it was something that they should have done a lot more last year, too, when they had a guy like Star Thomas.
Ollie LaneGUEST
I felt like he was a perfect build for an out-of-the-backfield pass catcher.
Ollie LaneGUEST
uh but you know it's been it was a big piece in our offense when we had a guy like Dylan Sampson I you know I think it's not one of Deshaun's strongest suits of his game uh but I think like Morris would be a great one for it he's a little bit of a smaller quick twitch type of guy that can make people miss I mean especially on that one run that he had that cut that he made on the inside to cut back inside uh was fantastic um But I think it would be creative if they went into two-back formations and started doing some of that, maybe like some swing passes out to the back.
