  • Ep. 39 - Baker Mayfield's Best Fit in the NFL
    In the opening take, Lee talks about Baker Mayfield's worst performance of the year. Then Grant joins to talk about the importance of Shane Beamer, Mayfield's performance during Senior Bowl week, and a quick recruiting update. Plus the guys discuss whether or not Trae Young should just go ahead and take over every game -- and Lee makes a ridiculous confession about his Super Bowl past.

    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
    22:40 Bennie Wylie was officially introduced and Lee found out an interesting fact about Wylie’s past.
    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?
    1:04:20 OU’s defense continues to struggle
    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.
