Category 6 Sports Podcast. It's your host, big homie and uh, a shout out for everybody tuning in. I know y'all could have been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me. Um, um, I'm in just disbelief. Man, the talent, the talent, the talent. Well, first off, let me start by doing this. Let me give a round of applause to Chris Johnson. Listen, man, speed kills and that's what the kid is displaying.

Speaker 1: 1:38

Chris Johnson today, catch a swing pad. Listen, I've been swinging Excuse the neck, I've been swinging. I've been putting in work for y'all. Y'all going to have to start paying for me for this very soon. But anyway, chris Johnson, y'all ain't got to worry about nothing. Mark Fletcher, hey, if you want to come back soon, if you want to take your time out, we appreciate anything you want to do. But Chris Johnson, right now I'm telling you it's going to be a three-deep rotation. Even if they're going to have to put Chris Johnson in the slot reverse punt, return, kick, return he's going to have to be on the field. Hands down, chris Johnson. Christopher Johnson, dillard High School is stepping it up people. Yes, chris Johnson has to play. Y'all seen it on the video game. I'm seeing it in real life. Chris Johnson has to step on that field.

Speaker 1: 2:37

I just want to give him a round of applause, man. I really want to just give him a round of applause, because Mark Fletch was already ahead of him. He seen Martinez coming when the kid got his shot. The kid is stellar. We see the speed and then you got to think you got all kind of fast people we've seen through the years DeAnthony Thomas from Oregon, deshaun Jackson from Cal, reggie Bush from USC Uh, you see the dude out there. Uh, usc, now I can't think of now at the top of my head. Uh, zachary Brant, you didn't see all kinds of speedsters throughout the year? Sproles he, right there in that category, this kid, it ran a 10, two and his senior year one of the state championship for florida and he is the fastest person on our team and he is fast. Listen, I just want to shout out chris johnson.

Speaker 1: 3:33

But just to keep it going on, let's get straight into it. We're about to be back tight in you. Yes, uh, arroyo, back where we want him to be fully healthy. Look, bigger, moving, fluent, healthy. You got, he scored a touchdown today. You got Riley Williams scored twice. So, riley Williams, as soon as they heard about Arroyo, you hear about Elijah Lofton. But Riley Williams, these kids are competing. When people are getting their chance to show what they got, they are showing it. They are showing it. People are stepping up, we are competing. Everybody is making plays and stepping up when their number is called. That's where recruiting comes in. When you recruit like that, these are the type of talents you have. These kids are not shying down. These kids are buying in.

Speaker 1: 4:27

Then you also had Lofton score a touchdown. I could see all three of them Arroyo. This year, riley Williams, all three of them. I could see them in that field. I think we're going to get that tight end field back. We was missing that a lot. We didn't use the tight ends at all. Last year we used the tight end of McCormick to block. Then Riley Williams scored a Georgia Tech game. Outside of that, we did not utilize the tightness. We did a lot of massive tech. Everybody know that. Everybody knows that.

Speaker 1: 4:57

But then I also want to take it and give this young man a shout out Wesley Bessant yes, wesley, bess, wesley. I know y'all going to get on me about Wesley Bessaint. Wesley Bessaint joined Lyle's in the whole of the day he welcomed his ass to college and that's exactly what he's supposed to be doing and that's exactly what we need him to do, and we're going to go to the next level. Yes, a big hit today, a big hit today. And Wesley hit today, a big hit today. And um, wesley, you know the scouting limit for the kid.

Speaker 1: 5:30

I keep saying it over and over. I think it should be first team ACC, right beside Kiko. I think we should have two, all, at least all ACC linebackers now. With that being said, cam Ward come on man. Ken Ward, out there throwing Patrick Mahomes to Horton Horton, back out there doing his thing at receiver. He ain't going out.

Speaker 1: 5:51

I think it's going to be a heavy receiver rotation this year. Ray Rivers getting some first-team reps, so that means he's stepping it up. When you see people you know that not going to actually start, but they're getting a lot of first-team reps and getting in the flow of things. I think we're going to have a big, big receiver rotation. And Kurt, kurt is not going out. I like what Kurt did in the spring game when he got that catch and he exploded and that's carrying on to fall. Count Kurt also looking very, very dynamic.

Speaker 1: 6:24

Kurt, yes, a Juco Kurt that everybody forgot about. Listen. This is the thing. Like we got to keep listen. This is the thing we got to stop going. We got to stop forgetting about these people, cause as soon as we forget about them, here they come again. And here they come harder. Here they come stronger. Here they come faster. A year in this system. This is what I'm telling y'all. Is this man we looking hella good. This is not even trying to be biased, because if it didn't look good, you, I think y'all know I'll be the first person to say it looking very, very, very good, very good, like in that receiving court, I could see a heavy rotation cam ward being spoiled. You got all.

Speaker 1: 7:06

He threw three of the tight ends touchdowns today. Horton, he threw a pass side on like Patrick Mahomes Listen, man, you're already. Oh, not to mention because I said something about Chris Johnson. Martinez went for a long touchdown run too. What have I been expressing my feelings about us getting a home run hitter, come on man. Us getting a home run hitter, come on man we. All we need to do right now is keep, not get the big head. Take it a week at a time, and that offense is elite. That offense is elite. Now let's go right back to defense. I want to give another hand clap to this young man, because I counted him out and and that's all right, because guess, guess what, I'll never be perfect.

Speaker 1: 7:46

Campbell Campbell, he's still on the same page, paying at a high level, batting balls down, just being a total menace to society every day. For the offensive line, it's just listen the speed, then you got the interior. Then you got Clark coming in. Clark getting some first reps as well, staying out there more and more the D-line like man, it's a crazy competition. You got Mesador getting some first uh team reps, so you know he was already gonna be out. He supposed to been starting last year, got an injury coming back this year. Man, he's starting to get his feet up on. I know a lot of people were joking about his shoe and all this and that. Well, I guess the shoe is in because he looking very, very, very well. I mean, listen, man, you also got.

Speaker 1: 8:38

I want to give a shout-out to this guy too, because I know he's been going through injuries and it's been a tough up and down road, but every time he got on the field he looked good. Chase Smith, chase tough up and down road, but every time he got on the field he looked good, chase Smith. Chase Smith is also stepping it up, he getting in the second team. Every time he get out there you can see him great size, great speed, very fluent. He looked very good in spring as well. As long as this kid is healthy, he will find a way on the field. It's going to be like listen, it's going to be a lot of rotation. We've got so much depth this is some crazy depth we've never seen today.

Speaker 1: 9:12

And another young man I want to give another round of applause to, because this kid, he living up to the hype Popo. He got a little scuffle with Cooper today. And you know we're tough, people are not backing down If you want to get in. I I can't remember the last time I heard oh, we got, it's a scuffle at practice. People, people, feelings fly, I win. I just heard okay, it was a practice today and you know nobody got hurt and everybody good, and we're gonna do this and that no people are competing, people are not shying down from the first screens.

Speaker 1: 9:48

You got Moo Young looking very good in the secondary, got four pass breakups today. Competing man Looking real good, looking real, real good. Listen, man, every practice. I don't know what's going on. Somebody's stepping up and they showing out. Like I was very concerned about the secondary man, listen, every day he another young man. I cannot forget this. I don't know what Jason Taylor told his son. I guess he they went to the room, went to the house and he took his belt off. I'm just playing. I'm just playing, but Taylor's also looking good back there in the room went to the house and he took his belt off. I'm just playing. I'm just playing, but Taylor's also looking good back there in the secondary man. Taylor's looking good back there in the secondary and I think that comes along with Sevis Jackson. I don't want to talk too much about Adai but a lot of people say it was kind of hard to speak with Adai and communicate with him. I think Jackson's more of a people's person and people feeling him and they buying in and they buying in quick. They're buying in quick. They're buying in quick. These kids are buying in quick.

Speaker 1: 10:58

You heard what Gingy said about Zaycorn, that we already knew what the potential was for him. You got the first day. Robert Stafford looking good. You already know about Porter, Richard Brown and Hill he getting some second tour Like the secondary going to surprise us all. And definitely with that pass rush you can expect a lot of turnover, a lot of interceptions, a lot of turnovers, interceptions. All man chaos man. We're looking good. A lot of turnovers, interceptions. All man chaos, man, we're looking good.

Speaker 1: 11:32

Now I know a lot of people have been talking about who's going to be the kit returner, who's going to be the punt returner. We had Robert Stafford, ray Ray, chris Johnson, kurt, I'm telling y'all Kurt going to find his way on the field. All Kurt needs is a chance, because once Kurt gets on that field this year, I'm telling you he's going to show out these guys we can put so many like. When have you seen this? Last year? I love Rescrepo, but no offense. Last year we had Rescrepo back there and Bashar Smith.

Speaker 1: 12:06

Now you got a choice of just per speed and people that can really get up that hole and it's over. Ray Ray was looking good last year. You bring Chris Johnson back there. Robert Stafford, he got elite speed. Kurt, you got all these players Like it's your choice.

Speaker 1: 12:24

It's your choice. Like we have returners for days, like we have where this is the most depth we've probably seen since lord knows how long I can't keep dwelling off that. Lord knows how long we it's just like to the point, man, where I'm so happy man, I'm real, real, real satisfied and I just feel like we look tough, man, we look tough and we look tough. And there are people out there competing, everybody looking in shape, no injuries, the scrimmage condition looking good, people getting bigger oh my God, I don't know what, like man, that florida game. I think we gonna put the country on notice immediately. And then how I coach his coach. Shout out to kevin beard d nick, uh, jackson already mentioned him mirror ball. Uh, I can't. I'm sorry, I can't think of the running back coach off the top of my head for nothing right now. Uh, shannon dawson, gidry, these coaches is coaching even the people holding up the dummy when they're going through drills. They starting to get active, they starting to get like. This is like man. We're getting consistent. Like man. This is starting to turn into a football team. I don't see a lot of teams competing with us. If they come out there, a lot of gagging, they think, oh, this is miami of the old. Oh, no, they're gonna have a big surprise and they're gonna get surprised very, very, very soon.

Speaker 1: 13:54

I don't ask for much. I'm giving you all the info you need. And, um, yeah, colt, the bingo. There we go.

Speaker 1: 14:34

Yeah, I salute him because coming in, I think we got a lot of coaches with not only a high IQ of the game, they have a high EQ of how people are in person. They have very good communication skills with the kids. The kids can relate, man, listen, that running back room, oh my God. Then you, oh, when the backups got in, I know it's 13. Y'all probably don't care about that, but the future is hellified Brack because Jordan Lyles and Hellcat on that second and third team defense, man, listen, the future Brack, that's what you get when you get recruiting.

Speaker 1: 15:07

We already know about jordan lyles, but I already told y'all hellcat was my dark horse and and he keep proving his self, he look good. He can run between the tuckers. He got hellacious speed. He can get both of them can get out there and break you an 80 yard run. The 20 yard runs can put their feet in the dirt. Um, you already know that man put their feet in the dirt. You already know that man Put their feet in the dirt. Get them hard yards. Keep the chains moving. Good hands, you know, can both pass block Like, come on, man, we be looking real good right now. Man, we looking very, very good.

Speaker 1: 15:40

Any questions in the chat? Anything I missed? Oh yeah, mesador, number three will be backador, number three will be back. Number three will be back. They had a lot to say about mesador talking about his shoe. Did his shoe come in yet? Why he ain't playing spring? Uh, mesador always been a competitor and we always know he could get after that quarterback high motor always.

Speaker 1: 16:04

Oh, george looking great, george looking great George. Is George George looking great, george looking great. You can expect another big year for him. We're expecting over 1,000 yards Him to go ahead with better quarterback play with Cam Ward and he can get over 1,000, get them touchdowns right where they at or get a little more. I think he's going to be the X factor of the whole offense. I think he's going to be getting one-on-one opportunities. That's Meech Powell, definitely Meech Powell, powell, coming over from a national championship competing team and he looks very good out there. Very, very vocal, great leader, great pickup. Definitely Meech Powell, definitely Meech Powell, definitely Meech Powell, definitely, definitely got to be Powell in the secondary.

Speaker 1: 16:55

Oh, how's ray ray, ray ray looking good? Uh, ray ray look like. I say he got some first team reps so that, let me know he's gonna get in the rotation. Um, way bigger, way bigger. All he already know about is supposed to be way bigger than last year. He took the weight room very, very serious from year one to year two. That's how ray ray is. Ray ray. You're gonna see ray ray. It's gonna be a. It going to be a big rotation.

Speaker 1: 17:18

How's Joshua Horne looking out there? You know, working, working. You know I think he can work himself right into there this year. You know it's just the first. Well, going into the second week of fall practice, I think it's going to be a heavy rotation in the world. Once he out there, it's gonna be up to him to figure it all out and how much he want to play. That's how it is, because the best people gonna play from this point on, that's one thing I can see going on. Who do you see returning? Uh, kicks and punch. Well, I just told you robert stafford, you got ray ray, you got chris johnson, you got kurt. Um, rescrepo, they want to get back there for some sure hands. Robbie, you know, man, it's a plethora of people, man, a plethora of people.

Speaker 1: 18:01

We looking good. Where are we lacking at? Well, where we're lacking at, is this what we've been lacking at? We got to win some games, like we can do all this, putting it all together. That's what we're lacking in, that we just got to prove to one another go hard, keep staying consistent, have a fall count, finish fall count, come out that clean for Florida week one. But we got to take all this greatness that I see, because this isn't good, this is greatness. This is a. I can see us going to the winning the ACC, going to the playoffs. That's it. That's the only place we're lacking, just showing it. We just got to show it. We just got to prove it.

Speaker 1: 18:45

Oh, and another thing too Markeith Williams definitely going to be playing this year. I think that safety room is going to have a rotation because Meach, he can go to the nickel when he wants to get in the box in this time to tackle against a running team. They had Markeith and Harris back there in the secondary today Zayquan, don't sleep on Markeith Williams. Markeith Williams will be getting playing time this year, and Meach at that. Nickel we know he's very versatile Can play. Nickel, can play on the halves. I think he's definitely our leader. Someone just asked that he's definitely the leader.

Speaker 1: 19:27

Oh, we also had NFL scouts from the Buccaneers, ravens, bengals. The NFL scouts are out there too, guys. So that should let you know a lot. I don't remember the last time I heard somebody say oh, nfl scouts, I understand them coming in the first few practices, but hey, man, look where we at now. They see something. They like Homer, have you started preparing for UF yet? No, I don't have to prepare. I I I won't prepare because I'm still thinking about I may not see y'all out there. I may just kick my feet back and watch it on the uh on the big screen, because going out there, 3, 30, I think it's going to be a blowout. I see 42 to 17. Every day I get more and more confident, but no, I ain't preparing. When you say preparing, are you talking about my bags or something or what? Because I don't know if I'm going to the game.

Speaker 1: 20:28

How the quarterback room. Look behind Ward. You know we already got Emory Williams. Emory Williams proved a lot. What you got to realize is impossible. What you got to realize in Posterberg, what you got to realize is this these guys got more weapons and they have a great running back room. So I think, if I don't even want to say what I don't want to talk about Ken Ward, but the backup, if a backup would have to come in, I feel like all they have to do is just manage the game and just make the plays when it's necessary. But I think we're so creative. I think Shannon Dawson is going to get in this bag this year. I think Shannon Dawson is really going to get in this bag this year. I know I ain't been the biggest fan of him, but it's a lot, a lot of God-dawg-on talent out there, I think, if a backup come in, or how they're looking, because Emerory Williams and Potsdam Berger they looking good. They work a lot with the receivers too, on and off the field. So the chemistry there, chemistry is definitely there.

Speaker 1: 21:25

How's the linebacker room looking Like the best in the ACC? Kiko, we already know about him. Wesley, like I keep repeating, stepping it up. Popo, chase Smith we already know about Pruitt. Yeah, yeah, the linebacker room looking hella lacious. D-nick got them boys looking like some linebackers. Yeah, that linebacker room, to answer that question, yeah, yes, sir, yes, I love our linebacker room, love them. That's how. The linebacker room looking Nothing but yes, I love our linebacker room, love them. That's how the linebacker room look, nothing but love. I love that linebacker room.

Speaker 1: 22:02

I need Malik Bryant to step up. Absolutely. We both need Malik Bryant to step it up because as soon as he step it up, more rotation people get breathless. The lineup just get even fire. I need Malik Bryant. He was looking very good. Spring, though. Malik bryant, step it up. Um, yeah, the sky's the limit. People gonna get breathless. He can come in, can have fresh legs whenever he come in and he can get after that quarterback or disrupt uh the run game against uh titus for loss. Yeah, you right about malik bryant. You absolutely right, I think. I think he'll get over that hump sooner or later. He just need he one of them players. You know he a gamer. I got high praise for Malik Bryant. Let's just stay tuned for Malik Bryant.

Speaker 1: 22:49

Next question Hold on. Markeith over, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, markeith done grown a little bit. I say you know 195 range. He got long, lanky, like these kids been really in the weight room. Markeith over, yes, yes, and he gonna play this shit. So that tell you a lot. He been weighing patiently and enjoying the process. So, yes, mal lot, he been waiting patiently and join the process. So, yes, malik, yes, most definitely.

Speaker 1: 23:18

How's the competition between Horton and Brown at the wide receiver room? Well, uh, the last practice. Both of them school today, horton school, but I seen them, you know, communicate with each other. I don't think it's no hate, I just like I always keep telling you it's going to be a heavy receiver rotation and I think you know whoever get denied, he may start this week, he may start this week, and that's that for that situation, y'all, make sure y'all LSS. Like, share and subscribe, like, share and subscribe, like, share and subscribe.

Speaker 1: 23:55

And this will be the last question. Give me one more, give me one more. Oh well, damn good, how? Mario Cristobal feeling God damn good. This, the best feeling he done had in a long damn time. I see Mario, you know Mario, going out there, nodding his head, smiling. Mario Cristobal, mario Cristobal feeling hell. Yeah, he should have the best feeling in the goddamn world because since he's been there, you know, we had our ups and downs, had our holes, didn't have a lot of depth. I think all that's been filled. But I know it's not even a thinking process. I know how all that feel been filled. But I know it's not even a thinking process. I know how that feel Supposed to have been the last big home. Do you think Martinez go over 100-yard rushing this year? Yeah, yeah, he could. I'm going to tell you how he's going to go over 1,000 yards ACC Championship playoff game, because in the regular season I don't I see everybody getting their reps. We beam people down and you know Cam Ward going to throw the ball, he going to be sharing carries and we get to the ACC Championship games in the playoffs and that's how that's going to go.
