West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Lee believes Baker Mayfield is one of the most authentic athletes in the world right now and Mayfield was just staying on brand in the recent GQ article. Those that are new to the show will enjoy this announcement (7:10). Then Grant joins to talk about one year of being married and that time he recorded a podcast from Greece (7:45). Jalen Hurts is your starting QB for Week 1 and we make quick predictions on how many touchdowns he'll account for in 2019 (9:00). Tanner Mordecai is the backup, although Lee thinks Spencer Rattler will eventually be the true backup for the Sooners (11:45). Lee's seen the first episode of that "Netflix" QB1 show that features Spencer Rattler. Grant hasn't seen it at all (18:45). We can't wait for the books that come out 20 years from now about Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray being in the same QB room together (20:05). "TFB" has reported some negative news about Erik Swenson (22:00). It looks like Jalen Redmond is going to play defensive line, at least according to what Dusty Dvoracek has seen (25:15). Perhaps the biggest news to come out of Tuesday's media availability is that Redmond is a full go and is taking contact in practice (29:25). Alex Grinch said a lot of positive things about LaRon Stokes Tuesday. Is this guy gonna be good or what (39:00)? Grant wants to know about Marcus Stripling and Nik Bonitto, which leads to what Grinch said recently about the rush linebackers (42:45). Lee is getting the sense that there's not much confidence in the linebackers group (45:50). Reading between the lines, it looks like Chanse Sylvie has emerged as the favorite to play Nickel (48:30). The newest member of the Sooners' secondary is on scout team right now (51:20). Let's talk about Kyler Murray's poor preseason Game No. 2 and all those ridiculous false start penalties (53:15). Baker Mayfield clarified his GQ magazine quotes on Instagram (1:02:20). Lee's happy that Mayfield went public about being forced to apologize for the Ohio State flag plant (1:04:00). Grant's getting worried about the Browns (1:08:10). Lee goes in on Hue Jackson for the millionith time (1:10:25). Grant once again reminds us that he doesn't care about what happens in NFL preseason football (1:12:30). Florida plays Miami this Saturday and Grant gives us some reasons to watch (1:14:40). We finish up by plugging another podcast that college football fans will probably enjoy (1:18:15).

In the opening take, Grant is begging for some interesting news to come out of fall practice. Then Lee joins to talk about seeing Jalen Redmond on the practice field in shells Monday night. What position is he going to play, and is even on track to be a contributor early in the season (3:30)? Switching over to the secondary where it looks like Brendan Radley-Hiles is now the next man up at Nickel and the starting 5 back there is looking more clear (13:30). Alex Grinch wants more competition at the safety positions (17:50). Tackling is still being emphasized -- in case you were worried about that (21:45) plus the defense is counting the number of times players strip at the ball in practice (23:00). Grant is being pessimistic about the defense, so Lee tries to layout what a reasonable person can hope to see from OU's defense in 2019 (25:10). Lee asked Alex Grinch how to get more interceptions (27:40). We try to formulate an "iron sharpens iron" theory that doesn't really go anywhere (32:50). Grinch gave us some nuggets recently that continue to make us excited to watch this new defensive line (40:40). Lee finishes up the defensive talk with a take on who'll eventually be playing the Nickel position (43:15). We're pretty confident in who's going to start on the offensive line (46:25). Jay Boulware said some nice things about Rhamondre Stevenson (51:30). Dusty Dvoracek had some nice news about true freshman wide receiver Jadon Haselwood (53:35). We're officially bored about any OU quarterback discussion so we talk a little about Tate Martell not winning the Miami job (57:00). We're getting pretty close to our massive college football preview show and Grant is super intrigued by the Big Ten (1:00:15). We finish up with some preseason NFL talk including Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones' debuts, how it's annoying to hear anything about the Dallas Cowboys, and a little "Hard Knocks" (1:04:55).

In the opening take, recent comments from Grant Calcaterra and CeeDee Lamb has Lee excited about the OU defense. Then Grant joins to talk briefly about the Sooners practicing at night (5:50) before bringing up all the things we know about Tre Norwood (7:25). Grant gets a chance to comment on the earlier soundbites from Calcaterra and Lamb, plus is it a good thing that this new scheme is so simple (17:00)? Guess what? DaShaun White claims the OU defense will never go back to how it was a season ago (23:25). The latest on Jalen Redmond and what he's up to at practice (25:20). Alex Grinch explained at Media Day why he's confident in his scheme (27:50). DaShaun White said something about the defensive line that hopefully translates to actual games (32:05). Lee has a new policy when it comes to "Bookie", plus Radley-Hiles explains the most positive part about having many returners in the secondary (34:20). Remember when Robert Barnes got run over in the Orange Bowl? Well, he addressed that this week (37:40). Apparently Chanse Sylvie interned at Walmart for a few weeks this summer and he's got an interesting career goal in mind (40:40). Jalen Hurts has been putting in a lot of extra work so far early in camp. Lee asked CeeDee Lamb how much Hurts leans on veteran players for advice (42:20)? Hey Spencer Rattler is out in camp. Will he end up being the backup QB by the end of August (44:35)? Moving to the offensive line. We got a chance to talk with Adrian Ealy the other night and he's pretty pumped that Creed Humphrey is back practicing (48:05). Trey Sermon said one of his teammates reminds him of a pretty darn good former NFL running back (54:40). The guys haven't talked about the "White Out" for Week 1. Grant is pumped (1:00:05).
