WTKA Roundtable 4/24/2025: Take Your Kid to Work Day

Special guest: Everybody wave hi to Mira.

Things Discussed:

• Spring game: Craig watched the line, wasn't that impressed.
• Bryce was throwing flat; overthrowing McCulley is a sin. There's a guy across the aisle who's already mad. Seth thinks when the threw that small window past a dropping DE was good; Brian thought he didn't see the drop.
• Jadyn Davis: Didn't look that polished but much improved.
• Mikey Keene? Brian thinks he's not a P4 quarterback.
• Receivers? If you go in the portal you can get a bunch of CJ Charlestons at this point. McCulley had the one contested ball and did the George Costanza.
• Keeps the expectations for Bryce in context, because Trevor Lawrence had NFL wideouts to throw at as a freshman. Want guys to step up: Marsh, Browder: turn around and context that. Seth: comp is what Nebraska got out of Raiola last year. Need the running game to be the engine of the offense. Get to functional.
• Hey Sam, how many targets is Jalen Hoffman getting?
• Are they going to do zone reads for Bryce?
• OL: Sprague up, Link down—if they're not naming him the starter now maybe he needs to move inside. Sam thinks Frazier can get healthy and get back his agility. Seth thinks they're gonna survive until Babalola is ready, ETA midseason.
• Break: Sam talks about his colon (I left this out of the podcast version).
• Defense: Tackles go six deep with big dudes. With them it's more about who they're going against.
• Linebacker: We are RICH. Seth thinks we have two guys who are better than the top six guys in the Draft, AND Rolder made it through spring without getting hurt. Barham has many uses, Sam thinks he's going to be an All-American. Sullivan can do Barham things.
• Big Nickel Mason Curtis: think this is a thing.
• Seth thinks Efobi looked like he was moving them.
• Dom Nichols: not surprised that a guy who played a lot as a true freshman is getting talk as DE#3.
• Who's got bend? Sam says Barham is #1. Seth wants to see it from Edokpayi.
