West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Grant explains why he was intrigued by a recent tweet thread by former Sooner Orlando Brown. Then Lee joins to reminisce about OU being double-digit underdogs to FSU in the 2001 Orange Bowl which leads to a brief talk about past spreads in national championship games (6:30). The guys countdown their top 5 defensive players they're most looking forward to seeing play in the new Alex Grinch scheme, beginning with a linebacker (15:20). Grant has a pair of DBs listed at No. 4 and No. 3 on his list (25:15). Lee's No. 4 player was an incredibly polarizing member of the 2018 Sooners' defense (31:35). Lee's got a veteran linebacker at No. 3 on his list, although Grant does not have this player in the top 5 (36:15). Grant's No. 1 player is somebody who has the potential to be a player that'll be really fun to watch in 2019 (41:10). Lee's No. 1 player is not on Grant's list and the guys completely disagree about this player (46:40). Apparently Grant initially correctly predicted Marquise Brown's foot injury (56:20). Can we expect Rodney Anderson to work out at the NFL Combine (58:45)? OU's got four offensive linemen going to the Combine and all of them are really darn good players (1:02:10). Austin Seibert will get a chance to display his kicking and punting abilities this week (1:06:35). All eyes will be on Kyler Murray this weekend at the Combine and the guys really hope that he throws (1:08:00). We go over the gambling props for Murray's height and 40 time (1:11:25). Finally, Joel Klatt defended Kyler Murray on Colin Cowherd's show Tuesday (1:19:15). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Lee's thrilled that we're not done watching Kyler Murray play quarterback. Then Grant joins to discuss the best OU recruiting class since 2005 (7:20). The guys touch on some of the 2019 recruits who they're most interested in, while Lee disrespects Wichita football (12:20). Ron Tatum is planning to transfer from OU (22:25). It's pretty clear Bookie is the main secondary player we hope benefits the most from Alex Grinch and the coaching changes (27:40). Is there a world where Tre Brown and Bookie are the starting cornerbacks in Week 1(32:30)? Grant will be keeping a close eye Motley and Norwood (36:20). Lee is optimistic about Robert Barnes in this new defense (38:55). Going over the rest of DBs we haven't talked about yet including Justin Broiles, Chanse Sylvie, and Jordan Parker (43:15). Grant points out the amount of experience and depth in the secondary right now (45:00). Grant's been saying Kyler Murray was going to pick football for a while now. But hey, let's take a look back at his baseball stats for some reason (51:30). The guys go over their biggest concerns regarding Murray's transition to the NFL, plus Greg Cosell has released a great scouting report on Murray (56:45). Would the Jags be a good spot for Kyler Murray (1:07:30)? Bob Stoops is back and he's going to coach in the XFL. Grant couldn't care less about these minor league football leagues (1:10:15) | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Grant is all over the place because he's so distraught that there's no football for a very long time. Then Lee joins to remind the listeners that this podcast will not touch on traditional National Signing Day, although Grant provides predictions on who he thinks will sign with the Sooners (8:40). Is Kenneth Murray the linebacker who will benefit most from the defensive coaching changes? Or is it Caleb Kelly (11:00)? Judging by Alex Grinch's history at Wazzu, there may be an obvious 2019 position for Kelly (17:20). The middle linebacker under Grinch at Wazzu constantly made a lot of tackles and a lot of plays. Perhaps this system will finally allow things to "click" for Murray (24:30). Grant names four other linebackers that he's super interested to see play in Grinch's system (32:30). Is Kyler Murray going to play the same role Baker Mayfield played for us last offseason (39:00)? Kyler made a bizarre appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show" last week and Grant has been avoiding this like the plague (42:25). Tom Fornelli's first NFL 1st Round Mock Draft doesn't include Kyler Murray and this triggered Lee (51:55). Baker Mayfield didn't win the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award even though he was more deserving than Saquon Barkley (1:01:25). Lee's already afraid of Baker Mayfield's "sophomore slump" and Grant says if Mayfield played QB for the Rams they would have won the Super Bowl (1:05:10). Grant once again correctly picked the winner of the Super Bowl and Lee can't decide if the Rams' offensive performance is more of an indictment on Sean McVay or Jared Goff(1:09:50). The Rams seemingly did not take advantage of some obvious matchups against the Patriots(1:13:30). The Pats have perfected the art of navigating the NFL regular season and then turning the playoffs into a 3 game season (1:20:40). Listen everybody, stop complaining about the Super Bowl being boring (1:25:25). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
