West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Grant explains why the woefully disappointing 2014 OU Football season was actually a good thing. Then Lee joins to discuss Baker Mayfield's recent comments about Texas (9:05) and the fact that the Heisman winner will not be attending the NFL Draft (14:00). Then the guys give their "Way Too Early Predictions" for OU's starting defense in 2018, beginning with fireworks as the DL is discussed (16:20). Who's going to replace Obo at the JACK spot? Plus what do the rest of the starting LBs look like (28:00). The guys move on to the secondary where both safety spots are open, and Lee thinks a true freshman will start at one of the DB positions (38:30). Finally, is it better for a team to have an elite offense coupled with a bad defense OR an elite defense coupled with a bad offense?

8:30 did Lincoln Riley just tell us the coaching staff is set for 2018?

11:00 Shane Beamer is going to have a “serious role” in special teams. Is he one of the most important assistant coaches all of a sudden?

18:20 Georgia borrowed an offensive play from OU this past season and seemingly used it a bunch in 2017

25:30 Grant provides a recruiting update which includes some decommits

31:50 Baker Mayfield’s week at the Senior Bowl. (Also Dimitri Flowers and Obo)

40:10 Josh Allen has a big arm, but he struggles to complete passes. Number 1 Pick obviously.

44:40 where’s the best “fit” for Baker Mayfield in the NFL?

51:15 can we discontinue this myth that the NFL is ahead of college when it comes to offensive concepts?

58:10 we shift to OU basketball beginning with praise of Lon Kruger’s strategy at the end of the KU game

59:50 does Trae Young need to do more, or does his teammates need to just make more shots?

1:08:30 shall we just enjoy the positives of this team and not worry all that much moving forward?

1:10:10 since Grant is in Minnesota, he gives us an update on how Vikings fans are doing after being destroyed in the NFC Championship

1:17:00 Lee has incorrectly picked the Super Bowl winner 11 years in a row. It’s an incredible streak. The guys make their picks for this year’s big game.
