is also a writer for We Are

3:46

S si.com Mark appreciated joining us today.

3:48

talk some some field whims and some

3:50

Trojan football. I want to start sorta

3:52

like Big Picture what is the Killer

3:54

Blooms experience? Like been less couple years,

3:56

some from the moment he transferred in

3:59

Lincoln Riley to. Now departing for the

4:01

Nfl in the Chicago Bears like are you

4:03

sort of reflect on as this era of

4:05

us see football it was a phone two

4:07

years. ah you know where the Lincoln Riley

4:09

and Caleb Williams eventual you know followed him

4:11

along and conduct king or would you are

4:13

see. You are free! Wasn't

4:15

in the greatest spots I'm they were coming

4:17

off of. That season. Obviously they

4:20

had replaced Clay Helton, but you

4:22

bring in a player a killer

4:24

Williams caliber. You. A Fee

4:26

is known for the highs and tropics.

4:29

To. So happens or get one back again.

4:31

So they're now up to eight and capable.

4:33

He was was you with ease, Seven, five,

4:36

and trophy winner depending on how you want

4:38

to categorize. So it was actually there. Eight.

4:41

So. A new one us he goes

4:43

from you a below five hundred a

4:45

for when team. All. The

4:47

Sudden: Now they're winning eleven games or game away

4:49

from the making the playoffs. They're going other Heisman

4:52

Trophy in there. Are in

4:54

inside her to talk. And

4:56

everything's looking great. Twenty.

4:59

Twenty three comes along. You're thinking night you're going

5:01

to build off than eleven when season. Everyone.

5:04

Knows us These challenges have been

5:07

nab. them be never defects. And

5:10

so things didn't really go according

5:12

to plan. Twenty twenty three, Whether

5:14

or not to put too much

5:16

that pressure on his shoulders. Ah,

5:20

Things. Again, office he carried on big

5:22

that pitted well but I think everybody

5:25

will remember. There was a point last

5:27

year where it. But. He

5:29

just had to accommodate a breakdown

5:31

that they lost again to Washington.

5:34

And. It was that moment where he

5:36

was in his mom's armed I think was at

5:38

that moment where kids like you know what I

5:40

put everything into this I keep your not just

5:43

a when highs and but to win a championship.

5:45

I. Think was about moment that he knew he was going to

5:47

be able to. Get. That team goal

5:49

that he was striving for. So.

5:52

That was a difference between Twenty Twenty

5:54

Two, Twenty Twenty Three. It was a

5:56

great rollercoaster ride. But it

5:58

it didn't Not finished away. Everybody really

6:00

one of the right and I guess is the

6:02

best way to play. I wanted to ask about

6:04

that that breakdown right that moment with his mom

6:07

on the sideline. I think that's something that throttle

6:09

draft process people from the outside bring up as

6:11

like our you know what what are You know

6:13

what kind of a negative reflection is that on

6:15

Caleb but but like how was that received at

6:18

the time and like how they can you think

6:20

that looks at from a U S C perspective

6:22

like. Having to have been having been

6:24

there and establish himself up to that point like

6:26

was that was that controversial for for Trojans fans

6:28

of timer was a kind of someone as decide

6:31

this is who he isn't he wears hardness, leave

6:33

and everyone sort of loves him for it. To

6:35

it is a pupil. Most competitive people

6:38

you're ever going To me. And

6:40

winning the Heisman Trophy obviously out of

6:43

orbit. More pressure will bit more to

6:45

was plate and so how do you

6:47

do better than what he did as

6:49

a sophomore. And even

6:51

said no, I want to have better statistics

6:53

the My Heisman campaign. Trying

6:56

to do a lot. And so now

6:58

I'm some the expectation level is up

7:01

there. And I don't

7:03

know whether or not the fans have

7:05

reasonable expectations. But. They're not. You're

7:07

watching the game. You're watching the team play

7:09

the following season. A big system look, right?

7:12

Was. He trying to do more than each to at

7:14

was he does not just. But.

7:16

Him again com to him. So.

7:18

I don't know. I'm. How

7:21

it played out as maybe the right way to say

7:23

it was a little bit of a disappointment. People.

7:25

Were expecting us to take I've. Begun. When

7:27

eleven games and near one with the turn around.

7:30

What? Should they be able junior to

7:32

and it's again, it just never materialized.

7:35

In. Fact you want from eleven wins. Where.

7:38

You're losing five at a your last six

7:40

teams of the season. And. Your

7:42

final season in college at it Just. Like.

7:45

I said arm. Didn't. Go according

7:47

to plan. He. Of with are significant changes to

7:49

the Us the roster in terms of like and that

7:51

was he ever your towel leave and tell consider like

7:53

how how big of how big of a change was

7:55

there on the team or what's what was different from

7:58

your wonder you're too old Caleb Williams there. So

8:00

yeah, you did have some roster turnover. Europe

8:02

as a blind changed. For. It

8:04

wasn't as much though the personnel different

8:06

as much as it was. I.

8:08

Speak again. Caleb Want Me to do more than

8:11

what he should have been trying to do on

8:13

the field? And. There were

8:15

there was whispers that. Pay. The.

8:17

Players and called. Why? Is

8:19

okay. Call that I talked down to three

8:22

seconds again is killer. Chasing the plate is

8:24

Lincoln Riley trying to apply? Are they trying

8:26

to be too perfect? So.

8:28

Yeah, be office of line wasn't as

8:30

good as a could have been. As.

8:33

The year before I'm do they use the

8:35

running game as much as they could have.

8:37

That's another discussion we could have. Ah,

8:41

It you know it's again kind of. It is what

8:43

it is. You. Did not have

8:45

a defense. You're. Constantly chasing

8:47

points because. You're. Came

8:50

from behind at times, and even when

8:52

you're scoring forty points, That's. Not

8:54

enough. I mean there were

8:56

times last year Were you? it's Am? Score Fifty

8:58

points. To went on the road. A

9:01

cow. I mean that it's those types of things.

11:03

Duel America's number one sports book.

11:09

I wanted to ask about the offensive line in

11:11

particular to they think with and we just experiences

11:13

with Just Field in Chicago. Now with with tale

11:16

of this this chicken in the egg conversation of

11:18

like okay how much is it's offensive line talent

11:20

deficiencies I know they had injuries had to move

11:22

some guys around versus how much of it is

11:25

while the quarterback is holding onto the ball too

11:27

long and then making the offensive line job too

11:29

difficult and making them look worse than the are.

11:31

I know it's never black and white or is

11:34

never all one or all the other but police

11:36

were to see that's with with what we thought

11:38

you se last year. I visited the nilmar

11:40

had or if the if it's of point. Victory

11:43

gets to point where. If. You're

11:45

clear of I said he's a very competitive

11:47

person. He wants to keep the play alive

11:49

for as long as possible and sometimes that

11:51

means on gone home run as opposed to

11:53

just tricky with their. Sometimes.

11:56

If you just means taking off and running for three

11:58

and five yards. Take.

12:00

That if it means dumping off the path

12:02

for five to six yards instead of waiting

12:04

for a bread and rice to come open

12:07

forty yards down the field. Take

12:09

that. Other times it's the

12:11

opposite line. Not. Doing

12:13

a job you know, yet? Year. You

12:15

lost a laptop? Are you moving someone to a

12:17

laptop? Who? Who was having to learn that position

12:20

in one year? You're losing. You're

12:22

going from a starting center to a guy who's. Wasn't.

12:24

Played center since high school, now taking over

12:27

that position. And. So again you

12:29

bring up. That. Had to stop injury

12:31

for lack of depth. And it

12:33

it just it came down to the chemistry

12:35

wasn't there. When you when you

12:37

don't have the same office of line two years

12:40

in a row. Or. Even when you're

12:42

using some of the same players, but you're moving

12:44

them around. I.

12:46

Think that played a big role of the played a

12:48

large role in it. But. You said

12:50

it you how? That's how much of that was killed.

12:52

holding onto the ball too long. Because.

12:54

Again, he's trying to get back home run

12:56

play. Rather, Than a as just keeps

12:59

chains moving. how would you evaluated the receivers around?

13:01

Killer bread is another chicken egg thing here where

13:03

it's like killed was a great quarterback so it's

13:05

he could make perhaps lesser receiver seem better than

13:07

they are but the same time they were super

13:10

productive and I still have to get open and

13:12

catch the ball and you also at in league

13:14

about his office is kind of known for producing

13:16

some is often so it's like how do you

13:19

have a way I guess they the quality of

13:21

the players vs you know the scheme and the

13:23

at a quarterback play being what helped elevate them.

13:26

Will. Lock I don't think I'm I'm

13:28

breaking any news here. Lincoln, Riley. Has

13:31

an often said is barry quarterback and

13:33

very wide receiver friendly. So

13:35

and us he does not last for

13:37

talent at the White for Sigur position

13:39

on you. You see them putting guys

13:41

into the draft every year. going to

13:43

happen again this year. So.

13:46

It's it's he said. it's a chicken in the a type

13:48

of thing. Killer.

13:51

Williams can make any wide receiver look

13:53

good, but if you're putting outstanding talent

13:55

around him on the outside as well.

13:58

I don't think anybody's can't complain. About that. So.

14:01

Yeah yeah. If Chicago happens

14:03

to be the team the draft Caleb I

14:06

know they went out and now they got

14:08

a pretty good wide receiver from the alley

14:10

Chargers Kind of gives you an idea that.

14:13

What they want to do take. Before. Going

14:15

to get Caleb. With. Lists around

14:17

with some good players. In. Oak

14:19

he is the other teams of rak quarterbacks

14:21

but. You. Gotta have the tools to

14:24

play with as well. He saw that

14:26

you see that happening with New York Jets all the time. How.

14:29

Much do you think that's friendly? Lincoln Riley

14:31

off ants took things off of Caleb Liam

14:33

shoulders vs putting things on tailored to see

14:35

what Caleb wanna take a lot things on

14:37

and zags the tried do so much but

14:40

his Lincoln Riley office also is known for

14:42

creating some of those laugh like how do

14:44

you see that push and pull between quarterback

14:46

in office of play caller they are trying

14:48

to get the most out of each other

14:50

but also wanting to do the most for

14:53

each other. Yeah, they were

14:55

better dynamic between coach and quarterback

14:57

in the paper. They won't actually

14:59

shy about it and I'll be

15:01

talked about it irritates and contentious

15:03

times. But. There. Was

15:05

that unspoken communication? so?

15:08

Lucky. When you have a generational type

15:11

of talent, And

15:13

even with your a Lincoln Riley cut the Coach sometimes

15:15

you just gonna roll with it. It's

15:19

kind of like Phil Jackson saying

15:21

I A Colby. Don't. Do

15:23

that You don't. Get

15:26

what did they say? The only person stop

15:28

Michael Jordan was his head coach. And

15:31

so you just don't do that yet.

15:33

You call the play. you know what

15:35

Caleb capable of doing, and you just.

15:38

You kind of see what happens. And

15:40

apps. Again, when you have a

15:42

kind of town and when you're as competitive as

15:44

Caleb is. You

15:46

saw what he did during a fight and season. It's

15:50

hard to, you know, kind of corralled.

15:52

It's at Wild Mustangs. You

15:55

gotta let him play. You. Would

15:57

never tell path from homes. Don't do what you're doing

15:59

on the field. How would you

16:01

describe tale of Williams's father's involvement in

16:03

his time at U S C? I

16:05

mean, it's it's it's something I think

16:07

kind of. Scares us

16:09

who somewhere But the Has Bears fan finally looked

16:12

around like okay like is he gonna be someone

16:14

who's heavily involved in everything or like and it's

16:16

kind of an amorphous role in our my as

16:18

though he will. How How involved was he really

16:20

your as the some mechanic is blown up to

16:22

be more than it actually was. Yeah, I've never

16:24

been blown up a lot more. The act swiftly

16:26

suppose I'll be honest with you. You

16:29

know, up. Outside or other than

16:31

when Caleb Orleans was making the decision on

16:33

where he was going to transfer to. There

16:36

really wasn't me. A killer Williams dad's father's

16:39

get in the way type thing. I.

16:42

Think that is something. Matt. From.

16:45

Buddy from Hate know it but sort of narrative

16:47

here and it just kind of. People.

16:49

Ran with it. Came. A boy

16:52

was wanting to be part owner. The

16:54

i don't I don't know where that comes on

16:56

sweat. It. Out there are

16:58

some of the definitely an annoying part of the

17:00

process for Sheriff. Yeah, really have a but we'll

17:03

have guts. I wanted to go through a couple

17:05

other A U S C players in this upcoming

17:07

draft class. We we talked briefly on the receivers

17:09

earlier, but Brennan writes entire Washington A particular both

17:11

expected to be drafted by the Grace a little

17:14

earlier than Washington, but you know, more like day

17:16

to day three, the draft or that there's been

17:18

a first round wide receiver in this group. Like

17:20

how do you project them specifically to the Nfl?

17:22

it to like you mentioned that the U S

17:25

C trackers your be Jordan Addison and Drake London

17:27

and. My ah, Michael Pittman and out

17:29

on us A brown just got his huge contract

17:31

has of as a fourth on thick which is

17:33

more where someone like Brendan rice my goal. but

17:35

we can expect both of these guys to be

17:37

that good. but how how do we sort of

17:40

set realistic expectations for them. Are

17:42

I think you should fit that expectation of

17:44

them being backwards? Brennan.

17:46

Writes obviously you can. you know his. Where.

17:49

He comes from reconfirm good stock as a

17:51

side. And use is

17:53

probably a better athlete than his

17:55

father was. So. Depending

17:57

on you know he need. Your

18:00

whomever draft Brendan is

18:02

getting. A. Long time.

18:05

Big. Time contributor in the Nfl I he's

18:07

gonna be and it's already the second he

18:09

arrived to get the body is get the

18:11

speeds he worked on his hands when he

18:13

was at Usa. Keys. And to be

18:15

ready to contribute. If you take him in

18:18

a fourth round, a later. I mean, I

18:20

can't think of a better value picked. As.

18:22

Far as part Washington, maybe one

18:24

of the most underrated guys. I'm.

18:28

All. He does. He has a

18:30

consummate team player. Forget.

18:32

His thoughts. He will

18:34

go across the middle. He has no

18:37

problem running between the saved is running

18:39

between the linebackers. He's got enough wiggle

18:41

in his hips that he can take

18:43

a deep. He

18:45

was my favorite fight. He was my favorite by receiver.

18:47

when he was at you. It's.

18:50

The it's his personality he he'll give you

18:52

the shirt off his back a very self

18:54

was person it's. He. Is

18:56

a willing blocker. As

18:59

he is everything you want. From.

19:01

A wide receiver. So. Again,

19:03

I'm. If Chicago

19:05

has the opportunity, And Caleb

19:08

is looking for somebody he can rely on.

19:10

You can go wrong with either one of

19:12

them. I would say Brendan of probably more

19:14

of a big play wide receiver. But.

19:17

If you want somebody who's just going to

19:19

be consistent, Move. The chains

19:21

can run any type or route. Chef.

19:25

sausage McMuffin. Of.

21:16

Living in this of the ball team and

21:18

Bullock at safety a guy that would fit

21:20

I think what the Chicago Bears are missing

21:22

in terms of the a Young Rainsy free

21:24

safety when other some concerns about another the

21:26

sort of physical strength there and maybe some

21:28

missed tackles on the way? how to adjust

21:30

or to see that playing out during his

21:32

time. As you see and than projecting to

21:34

the Nfl you're not a very valid concern.

21:36

He is a very range either ball hawk

21:38

without a doubt. I'd. Be.

21:41

And we were in high school. He played

21:43

wide receiver and difference as well so be

21:45

kind of have those natural instinct from have

21:47

a track the ball. There's been a lot

21:49

a conversation that no one seems to me

21:52

and I felt like the Fema cornerback. Because

21:54

he's got those types of skills. That.

21:57

You brought up used to the calorie. That.

22:00

One of it's limitations. his nickname. what

22:02

sticks. He tries I mean he

22:04

does is hard as it to add weight. But.

22:06

He just got one was bodies at

22:08

it with doesn't hold so. It's.

22:12

If. You're looking at him as a

22:15

ball hawking type of of safety.

22:17

Yeah, you draft him. I personally

22:19

think. He would have a much

22:21

longer career as a boundary type of corn. One

22:23

other guy who had I don't think has gotten

22:25

a lot of attention in this process and maybe

22:28

more of a laid around project to this point,

22:30

but Solomon Bird from the defensive end position I,

22:32

but I don't mean to completely ignore Marshawn Lloyd

22:34

does have a very good running backwards from Chicago

22:36

respective at I don't think they're in the market

22:38

for a run amok of that quality least in

22:41

this draft side and I mean to disrespect your

22:43

Peloton builds was if again. Don't

22:45

forget about awesome Jones on wipe your look for late

22:47

round guy yes exact it's up is what it took.

22:49

trouble jones and off and also saw member like couple

22:51

guys that maybe are getting the kind of attention but

22:53

what do you see from them a bit of time

22:56

acknowledge didn't stadiums this or that hopes that they can

22:58

be more than perhaps with addressed apple reflect. Shirt.

23:01

So Songbird you know transferred him to Us

23:03

he from university of Wyoming. Mature

23:06

young man, family already. he

23:08

is just a hard worker.

23:10

The thing with Solomon? What?

23:12

Us. These different prior to the season

23:15

they they were running a a scheme

23:17

that some players will say. Didn't.

23:19

Necessarily utilize accounts the best way.

23:23

I'm Solomon Bird was used as a rush

23:25

and a different of and. And.

23:28

Against. Certain. Often.

23:31

says. He. Even using the Packers I

23:33

think is more of a run type a

23:35

defender than eight get after the passer type

23:37

a guide. Will he be drafted?

23:39

I don't know. He's probably gonna be a free

23:41

agent signee. About somebody again you

23:43

want to bring into your locker room. He

23:46

just got a strong work ethic. You're not going

23:48

to have to ask that guy do it again.

23:51

You're not gonna have to tell him don't do that. That's not the

23:53

right way of doing things. Either. Type of

23:55

person who. Who's. Gonna do things the right

23:57

way. Or. Ever get off.

24:00

Jones. Started. Off his career,

24:02

Sanford came to us the in the time

24:04

when traversed I arrived. He was one of

24:06

those transfers. And. The staff season

24:09

the he was spit steady type a guy.

24:11

know he can run, he can run the

24:13

ball between the tackles to have write speeds

24:15

were not gonna break in a big place

24:17

for you. He can catch the ball out

24:19

of the backfield. But. It can also passed

24:21

protect. So. I

24:23

know the running backs aren't highly

24:25

valued in the Nfl anymore, but

24:27

if you have somebody. Who. Can

24:29

catch the ball out of the backfield as well

24:31

as pass protect. That's that's an

24:33

added element that I think I'm be enough

24:36

to looks at now with him with are

24:38

running backs. One. More thing for let you

24:40

go that I forgot to ask about earlier. A

24:42

note this game a more early in the process

24:44

of people look at U S C and say

24:46

oh man you know tale of Liam skip the

24:48

ball game and Miller Mosque comes in and throws

24:50

six touchdowns and has issued for me to this

24:52

a C take it wasn't actually Caleb being very

24:55

good cause any or quarterback is stepping in a

24:57

bowl game and be great I'm I guess what

24:59

do you what do you say to that argument

25:01

idea how to how do you sort of value

25:03

which is why Miller Moss it was so good

25:05

in that spot. And what does that say about

25:07

Caleb lives. So. Let's just

25:09

put kill the Cypress Second, What's talk about

25:11

why Miller Moss was able to do that?

25:14

He. Would Williams was one of the most highly

25:16

recruited quarterbacks coming outta high school. People.

25:19

Well, maybe people are unaware of

25:21

this. Miller Moss. Was. A really

25:23

of highly recruited of quarterback foaming at the

25:25

high school. He. Was actually gonna

25:28

play at modern day his senior

25:30

year. That. Was the colbert year.

25:32

So. Eating at the Play at modern day. Instead,

25:35

he enrolled early that Usa.

25:38

And then they are. William transfers

25:40

him so he was learning. From.

25:42

A great quarterback grew in Lincoln, Riley.

25:45

He's. Watching Feel Williams do what he's doing on

25:47

the field. And all of a

25:49

sudden he's given an opportunity. Would.

25:52

You do when opportunity knocks. You walk through

25:54

the door and you take advantage of it

25:56

and again. You've got some pretty

25:58

good skill players around him. Your.

26:00

Car washing, finding their games, He.

26:03

Had for freshmen wide receivers. It turned

26:05

out to be pretty good enough Holiday

26:07

Bowl against what we're supposed to be

26:09

a really good lieu of Allegiance. Miller.

26:12

Moscow sports over three hundred yards, six

26:14

touchdowns, That's why

26:16

I'm lucky. Cable. Boys would

26:19

have done that, might have done even more. Usa.

26:22

Has an eye for quarterback our it's

26:24

They've never been shy with a quarterback.

26:26

They've never been shy with running with

26:28

wide receiver talents. And. Now

26:30

you bring in somebody with a Lincoln Riley who

26:33

have that type of knowledge who knows how to

26:35

develop quarterbacks. Was what you get. A.

26:37
