West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Lee explains why he's not confident Jalen Redmond will play again for OU. Then Grant joins to talk about one of Baker Mayfield's best TD passes and also the ineptitude of Hue Jackson (6:40). The guys get back into Jalen Redmond's blood clots. Grant tends to be more optimistic about Redmond's outlook (12:45). We take a little time to address a comment from Facebook in regards to recruiting (18:20). Lincoln Riley says he's not going to name a starting QB before fall camp (27:55). We turn are attention to Week 1 vs. Houston and both of us still have that 2016 OU-Houston game in our heads (34:25). Houston's got a talented QB that may be the best QB the Sooners face all season (37:30). Houston's pass catchers are really good (39:50). We try to figure out the best QBs OU's defense will face in 2019 (41:30). More details on D'Eriq King's quarterback ability (45:30). Grant's got some notes on Houston's offensive line (50:50). Houston's defense was awful in 2018 and it's likely to be terrible yet again this fall (52:35). If you could take one player off Houston's roster and put him on OU's roster, who would it be (1:00:40)? The Sooners are nearly a 2 TD favorite over Houston right now. More confident in OU or Houston covering right now (1:05:30)? Next week we'll talk about South Dakota and UCLA. Remember when South Dakota almost beat K-State last season (1:08:45)? Lee ends the show by telling the story of an interesting interaction he had with Lincoln Riley last week (1:12:05).

In the opening take, Grant waxes poetic about the old school NCAA Football video game and the potential of the franchise making a return. Then Lee joins to predict the the 2019 Oklahoma 2-deep beginning with the easy positions on the offense (9:30). Moving to the offensive line where we predict the starters and reserves from right to left (15:30). Where does Michael Thompson fit in on the offensive line? And could he switch back to defense (26:00)? There's a ton of talent at wide receiver, but who's going to start alongside CeeDee Lamb and Grant Calcaterra (30:45)? Moving over to the defense, beginning with a lock on the defensive line and a bit of a disagreement on the interior part of the line (43:00). Lee's hottest defensive depth chart take comes at the DT position. And should we start to be concerned about the depth on the D-Line (52:00)? We offend everybody who's ever played or followed high school football in Wichita (57:00). Let's go over to the Rush LB spot where we both hope one particular person is available to play this position (59:50). The other linebackers are pretty easy to predict at this point (1:05:10). Lee thinks the cornerback starters are slam dunks at this point -- Grant does not agree (1:10:00). Grant's favorite dude is his starter at SS (1:15:10). Lee thinks Tre Norwood will have permanently moved to free safety by Week 1 (1:18:30). How does Robert Barnes fit into this defense? And Grant is all about jumping back on the Bookie train for 2019 (1:20:40). **The OU talk ends as we transition into a discussion about "Game of Thrones". Both guys weren't fans of the final season, especially Grant (1:28:15). Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Lee chastises anybody who thought the Cardinals were actually going to pass on Kyler Murray with the No. 1 pick. Then Grant joins to talk about the erroneous report which stated the Arizona was not going to select Murray with the No. 1 pick (4:40). Grant thinks Murray's situation in Arizona is much better than Baker Mayfield's situation in Cleveland at this time last year (9:15). Lee thinks more than half of the Sooners who were drafted over the weekend could be starting by Week 1 (27:55). Lee's not thrilled that Marquise Brown is going to Baltimore because Lamar Jackson is at best a slightly below average NFL passer (37:30). Rodney Anderson is the definition of a low riks/high reward draft pick in the 6th Round and it would be cool to see a 1-2 punch of OU running backs in Cincinnati (42:30). We briefly go over the Sooners who were signed as undrafted free agents (46:15). A bunch of 2020 NFL Mock Drafts have been released and we see CeeDee Lamb's name quite a bit (48:25). Are we sure Grant Calcaterra is a First Round pick (51:40)? Is Kenneth Murray a First Round pick because he looks awesome in his uniform (54:30)? Neville Gallimore could definitely be a First Rounder if he puts up numbers in 2019 (57:10). We end the show by bringing back the "Hot Take of the Week" segment. Clay Travis recently put out a very bad take about new Giants QB Daniel Jones (58:45).
