Oklahoma TE Rocky Beers pre-Georgia Inteview

What excites you about getting to go play at Georgia this week? They're really good, and it's a really unique place to play. And the ranks number two, what's not to be excited? Rocky, getting the offense really going well, what's it gonna take this Saturday to really do it? It's gonna take all of us just simply doing our jobs, us getting out of our own way, and everybody executing their job and no more. Rocky, you and Hayden have really come on strong this season. Just what do you think that you guys work together so well at the tight end position and allowing the offense to create some explosive plays? Coach Witten, for sure. I mean, Coach Witten has gotten us right in the film room and on the field. His expertise has just taken us to the next level, and also our teammates. Our teammates are doing a good job. Our offensive line holding in there, being able to get us out on routes, and then John Matir throwing us the rock. So it's everybody. Is there anything you can pinpoint that Jason has kind of given you in terms of inside of how to, like, diagnose film, with his expertise that you just didn't have prior to being coached by him? Yeah, he gives us really practical advice about how to win blocks if you're undersized or if you're just bigger. Like, Hayden's, I don't know, 265, 270, and I'm more undersized at 240. So, I mean, he gives us nice little nifty tricks on how to win your blocks respective to your body type, and then also, same in the route running. How much does Hayden, like, drink when he comes in? Is it fun to kind of have that? Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're just trying to be the best room that we can be on the team, and we just want to try to contribute as much as we can to the team as a tight-end room. So, yeah, we feed off each other immensely. I know everybody, you know, he's top of the tier, but how do you guys look at that as helping him with his confidence and making plays in the basket? Our job is to get as much separation as we can and make our presence known and just easily available for him. Whenever he can throw us the ball, we'll be there and try to do our jobs for him, make it easy on him. Rocky, you've been there at your best. Like, what's the identity of this offense? I don't know. I think we have yet to see us play four quarters of OU football, both offense, defense, and special teams, so I don't think we've really realized what we can play up to yet. So, Rocky, what makes you believe that this offense is competitive? Our vision, as Coach Chavis always says, you got to have vision. Without vision, the people perish, so we just got to keep believing, keep coming to practice, and keep working hard. What makes the Georgia defense so good? They're big, strong, physical, and fast, just like everybody else in the SEC, but they just come to hit, and that's something we're looking forward to on Saturday. How much confidence do you guys in the locker room have? Yeah, he's our captain. We voted him captain. We have all the faith in the world in him and John. Yeah, we love him. Still love him. We're behind him. You think it's just a matter of time, Chav? Yes, sir. Absolutely. Thanks, Rocky. Appreciate you guys.
