Big guy.

It is a nice Thursday night
6
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:03,900

00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,900
Got a bruin hand.
Got a little bit of water
8
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:10,100
rolling to been a long day.
Been working on.
9
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:15,800
School, work and work work and
everything else in between, but
10
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,700
it's it's coming to an end.
So how about you buddy enjoying
11
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:22,000
a nice little gin and tonic here
tonight.
12
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,400
It's been a very long day,
Brian.
13
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,800
Don because I took PTO today,
no.
14
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,700
And, you know, as you get older,
PTO becomes less and less fun.
15
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:34,900
Even get asked by somebody when
I asked him to back me up at
16
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:36,800
work, hey we'll be out there.
You're probably doing something
17
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,500
fun like no, I'm really not.
Yeah, power wash.
18
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:49,200
Seeing and sealing, my deck,
nice man all day today between
19
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,100
me and the wife.
We were taking stuff off power,
20
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:56,200
washing the deck and I'm tired.
I got to seal it so I'm gonna go
21
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,300
to Home Depot in the morning.
Get that stuff.
22
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:01,700
Hope to goodness it dried out
especially after the rain storms
23
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:06,200
tonight but we lost power for a
little bit so yeah it was pretty
24
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,300
heavy coming through the night
buddy.
25
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:10,199
Oh yeah it was.
You must have got the one a
26
00:02:10,208 --> 00:02:12,100
little later.
We got the one that Afternoon
27
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:13,700
battle stop right in the middle
of it.
28
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:17,300
And you know it's summer though.
This is what we like, nice.
29
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:20,800
So yeah, summer, we got both on.
We got the we got the like the
30
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,900
3:00.
ER, and then like right after
31
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:26,000
five the big one came through
buddy.
32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,300
Well, glad you got power back.
Now I'm assuming since we
33
00:02:28,308 --> 00:02:30,500
recorded.
Yeah yeah I was only out for
34
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:31,800
about 30 minutes.
Okay.
35
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,200
That's not bad at all.
Not bad at all.
36
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:38,900
So yeah, so folks we're just
doing Dad life stuff, working
37
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:41,400
deal with power outages, putting
kids to bed.
38
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,400
All sorts of fun stuff here, but
today what we're going to be
39
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,500
taking a look at is we are going
Behind Enemy Lines.
40
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,600
What does that mean?
We're taking a look at the four
41
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,400
ACC opponents that we are
playing on the road this year.
42
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,700
Road matchups in the conference
fellows, buddy.
43
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:04,200
And let me tell you, it's some
some very interesting and
44
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,300
intriguing matchups, probably
many of you know who were
45
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:08,600
playing, but we're going to get
into some details and some
46
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,500
things we're seeing and how we
feel about.
47
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,400
Mmm.
But before we get into all that,
48
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,600
we do have quite a list of some
few things to hit in.
49
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,500
Brian, I'm gonna throw the first
big one at you man. 6 foot 4 to
50
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:27,000
25 out of st.
Peter's prep in Jersey City, New
51
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,700
Jersey quarterback, ties.
Bullet commits how you feeling
52
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:34,100
about it.
That definitely takes a big
53
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:37,100
sting out of the DDD commitment.
I like this kid.
54
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:40,700
I watched this film.
He's got kind of similar to him
55
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:44,500
and hookers.
Style, especially both size.
56
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:45,900
And what do you think?
What to do?
57
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:48,700
As a prospect coming out of high
school?
58
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:51,500
So especially through his junior
year, at least to this point,
59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,100
he's got a pretty live arm, he
can he's athletic, he can run
60
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:59,100
around, he's good at making
throws on the Run, needs to
61
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:03,100
clean up his mechanics a little
bit and I think that's going to
62
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:05,200
be the big thing.
But, you know, look at our
63
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,200
quarterback room.
He's got some time to do that.
64
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,200
So there's nothing really
negative about this.
65
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,500
Pick up.
No, not at all into Point like
66
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:14,800
you given you hit me up and you
talked about all the stuff you
67
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,200
like.
But you mentioned the mechanics,
68
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:18,600
they mean you kind of had this
conversation.
69
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Well you got hinted this year
and next year you still got
70
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Quincy he'd still have some
eligibility left.
71
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,800
Some really 2023 is the
earliest, the guy could be on
72
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,800
the field.
So he's got potentially multiple
73
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,700
years in Blacksburg to clean
those mechanics up.
74
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:41,800
So yeah, I love the size because
you know, you can talk About
75
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,000
mechanics and some of the stuff
he does good.
76
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,200
But dude to be a High School,
junior, six-foot-four your 225,
77
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,800
they don't make many of those.
They, you know, you can look at
78
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,300
Demetrius Davis and he is an
unbelievable Talent, Demetrius,
79
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,700
and, father love than about 195
pounds.
80
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,400
He's what you typically seeing
and any High School level, but
81
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,300
this kid is kind of like, whoa,
he could walk in through a group
82
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:08,800
of grown, man, and you be like,
let's see like 30.
83
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:15,300
Oh my gosh, the other thing, One
the that I cannot think of the
84
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:16,500
league.
It's been mentioned one of the
85
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,700
big boys up in New Jersey as a
junior.
86
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:20,700
LED that team to the State
title.
87
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,800
Yeah, that's a big thing because
everyone was talking about, you
88
00:05:23,808 --> 00:05:26,500
know, the meteors Davis having
that winning pedigree.
89
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:30,100
So nice, kind of, if we're going
to have to fill in that that
90
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:32,300
void that was created by Him, be
committing, it's nice to have
91
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:35,600
another guy that has that proven
level of playing, not only
92
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,500
big-time High School football,
but being able to win a state
93
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:41,200
championship doing it,
absolutely man.
94
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:47,200
And And I really like to pick up
to its it helps you know, helps
95
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,700
kind of quarterback now asset.
We've got it locked in, we can
96
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:54,300
go put the resources elsewhere
and we did put the resources
97
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:58,900
elsewhere.
Brian VA to VT kalai Lawson out
98
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:05,200
of the valley, Stephen City, the
6 foot 4 2005, athlete tell me
99
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,100
what you saw on him.
I know some of his takes a
100
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:09,600
little old because he was
injured last year, but what do
101
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,400
you see from this again?
Except for 205 pounds and he's a
102
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,900
junior.
Yeah, let's read it out here.
103
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:20,000
We're talking about Out from a
just a raw perspective.
104
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,700
He's got the similar type of
traits and build that Tremaine
105
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:28,400
Edmunds had all.
Don't don't say this game.
106
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:32,400
We're talking about, I'm not
saying that we're going to get
107
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,700
to that level, but in terms of
build, and in terms of athletic
108
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:40,200
traits, he could get there.
And I mean, right now he's his
109
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,200
ranking on 24/7 and in general
is lowered as you stated because
110
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,900
of that, those injuries that
they've been dealing, with this
111
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,600
guy's probably going to see his
his stock climb a lot this year,
112
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,800
especially if he puts that are
really productive year.
113
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:59,200
So look for that to work in our
favor because right now some of
114
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,600
these Rankings are pulling, are
particularly Lawson's and
115
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,400
Belichick.
The the kid from Germany, those
116
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,000
two rankings are pulling down
our class average a little bit
117
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,800
but I think his is going to go
up a good amount.
118
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,300
I don't think we're going to see
any change much in the on the
119
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:21,300
German kids ranking but look for
him to climb a little bit and
120
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:22,700
that's going to help our overall
ranking.
121
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:26,800
So this kid's got really good
measurables and just watching
122
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,500
him play, he's an athlete to be
as big.
123
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,500
He is, I'll say this man and I'm
glad you mentioned it because a
124
00:07:34,508 --> 00:07:37,400
lot of people have mentioned him
on edge and mentioned him on
125
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,000
edge because of that 64, because
of that frame.
126
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:43,600
But I'm with you.
I see a kid, he played, I think
127
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,700
he played the three in
basketball.
128
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,100
He done some track and field
like the long jump.
129
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:52,200
I believe this this guy and you
talked about looking at Tremaine
130
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,700
I think Tremaine was six foot
four, I think 220 coming up.
131
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:59,700
So slightly bigger already had
the pounds on him, but you No,
132
00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:03,100
the frames there and you see
some of those workouts I'm with
133
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:04,000
you.
I think me and you're on the
134
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,400
same page.
Don't put him on the edge.
135
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,000
Let him play linebacker because
that's where you're going to get
136
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000
your most bang for your buck.
You've already got some guys at
137
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,300
defensive.
End coming in some young guys.
138
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:19,400
Make this the next Tremaine make
this your next first round.
139
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:25,300
Talented linebacker.
So yeah so Brian so we've got
140
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:29,400
one from the r-va right?
Yes yes.
141
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,100
And we got one from over in the
valley, down the mountains.
142
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:35,200
I'm Stephen city.
Right, there we go.
143
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,100
We got one way up in Northern
Virginia, right in the engine.
144
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:42,500
So we take a drive down 95 from
a mr.
145
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:45,700
Strohman house, and we pull up
in the North Stafford football
146
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:51,700
power there and we get another
one cornerback Sean Asbury.
147
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:55,100
The second out of North
Staffordshire hate kind of
148
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:58,300
similar to Lawson got injured
last year during the season and
149
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:01,300
that ranking.
It's kind of hurting us but you
150
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:03,800
look at some of this tape.
I know you did Brian.
151
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,300
He an 84.
Now this guy's going to be
152
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,900
someone that I think can come in
and he's going to kind of be the
153
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:12,800
natural successor, I think maybe
two chimoree Connor.
154
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,100
He's going to be that whip
nickel type player, but he in a
155
00:09:17,108 --> 00:09:19,900
pinch, you can play outside.
So I think that's the that's the
156
00:09:19,908 --> 00:09:21,200
big thing.
Look with this guy.
157
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,500
And again, we're talking about
Trends, we're talking about
158
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:26,600
these versatile players, you
know, you look at Lawson.
159
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,500
That's a guy that I think is
going to project his As a as a
160
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:34,200
backer but could put his hand in
the dirt Asbury.
161
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,700
A guy that can play the nickel
but also probably in a pinch
162
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,400
slip outside.
So when you're looking at the
163
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,500
depth that we're trying to build
here we're looking at those
164
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:47,400
versatile players, I really like
what we're doing here and Asbury
165
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,200
I think as we've said is going
to be a guy that's going to see
166
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,300
his rankings go up as he gets a
productive senior year and there
167
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:59,300
hopefully Absolutely, I know
you're you mentioned Nikolai.
168
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:03,600
No, I think he's played Safety.
Kind of letting his athleticism
169
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,100
and letting his ball hawk in
nature.
170
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:08,400
Take advantage of in the high
school level, which is awesome
171
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,200
to see.
But I'm really hoping they move
172
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,700
them outside, because right now,
we don't have one of those guys
173
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,300
sort of the depths of little
little, little bit shaky there.
174
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,900
The DJ just we're not even going
to mention now.
175
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:34,000
That just put on this program.
Hold on, Brian.
176
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:41,500
I'm taking this step because
that angered me, so much stuff
177
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:46,700
about grilling him and him
knocking the video breaks down
178
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:51,600
that of the ballpark and I love
it, but Brawn, there's our
179
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,100
buddy, Jason long song says I
almost gave up drinking Three
180
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:02,500
commits in like ten days it's
like we are on fire and on the
181
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:08,800
hold Wednesday happened and he
is not our 24/7, highest-rated
182
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,700
guy, but our composite
highest-rated guy.
183
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:14,800
Got me.
And you both kind of in love
184
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:23,100
with six foot three. 315 tyus at
Arkansas, D commits, you know,
185
00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:28,400
you told me.
Brian tried to soften the blow,
186
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:33,100
right?
You said it even even after DDD
187
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:34,700
committed.
He's like I don't I don't like
188
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:37,700
to ask Martin.
He's like I feel like he sort of
189
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:40,500
got his hand on the door you
told me that.
190
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:44,900
Yeah so so when Dedede committed
I was like I think we're looking
191
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:47,800
at Neville probably having one
foot out the door and ties
192
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,200
Martin probably has his hand on
the door now if we're going to
193
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,300
use some metaphors here so that
was that was kind of what I saw
194
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,700
ultimately both of them.
I was hoping that the
195
00:11:57,700 --> 00:12:02,500
combination of T and T would be
enough to keep keep barging in
196
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:05,300
the boat where as Neville didn't
have.
197
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,800
I think that's somewhat type of
relationship with the staff that
198
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,300
Martin may had even though, you
know, both of those guys haven't
199
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:17,700
had any sort of official visit
at Virginia Tech yet, but you
200
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:20,600
know, you took a turn and, you
know, it's disappointing because
201
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:24,400
we're looking situations where,
you know, the writing is on the
202
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,900
wall.
But at the same time, these guys
203
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:29,000
got in for A reason we need to
be better about keeping them
204
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:33,100
committed, despite some of the
things that are going on outside
205
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:38,200
that that we can't control.
Yeah, it's 100% true man.
206
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,700
I think the staff and now that
this happened multiple times.
207
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:44,200
Again, if you're recruiting for
one guy, he's going to be your
208
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,600
linchpin.
You can't recruit like that.
209
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:48,200
I think.
Hopefully, what happens is we
210
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:53,100
see some self-reflection on on
this now.
211
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,400
Another type of hashtags.
There you go.
212
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Don't hype up hash Eggs, figure
out what the kid really wants to
213
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:05,100
commit to, you know, sometimes
the hype gets going, there's 17
214
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:07,200
year old 18 year, old kids hide
can happen.
215
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,200
They can commit and then to
three months later.
216
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:12,900
Yeah, so yeah.
Um, but I'm just gonna run down,
217
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:16,300
but I'm sure you saw it.
Although highest decommitted
218
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:20,100
Todd leak Williams in his top
six, like the way we look on
219
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:25,500
that because that's another big
guy with some real good skill
220
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:28,700
and again.
Then like Taya style leak would
221
00:13:28,700 --> 00:13:30,700
probably come in day one and
start playing.
222
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:33,600
So true that we just got, we
just got a crystal ball thrown
223
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:39,600
in their entire week, so that's
trending in our Direction.
224
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,100
Obviously, sometimes crystal
balls, you can take them for
225
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:45,600
what they're worth if it's not
close to a kid committing.
226
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:48,800
So it's definitely taken with a
grain of salt.
227
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,100
But it wasn't someone that is
the Hokey Insider so that
228
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:56,900
definitely, you know, gives a
little I think a little No more
229
00:13:56,900 --> 00:14:00,400
Credence than than, what a
typical crystal ball ranking
230
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,000
would would give their so we
shall see, but I feel like we're
231
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,600
at least in good in good
position.
232
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,900
A lot of its going to depend on
how serious some of the the
233
00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:15,400
bigger dogs in this race that
are in that top, six are about
234
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,400
getting him to take.
And obviously, the relationship
235
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,100
that he has with the coaching
staff, overall and tap and tear
236
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:27,500
linked in particular. 100% man
hundred percent on that.
237
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,300
I ate Braun sports are finally
coming back, brother.
238
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:34,700
Last part has been going.
We've got some good golf
239
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:37,000
tournaments baseball's.
Finally.
240
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,700
Agreed, let's not baseball
figured something out.
241
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,600
I swear, man, that was such a
frustrating thing to watch and
242
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,900
follow man.
Oh, it's so much was it was such
243
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:49,700
a pain in the ass because, you
know, it's nothing.
244
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:54,000
It's posturing and you know,
whose side do you want to fall
245
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,500
on?
Let's just not get into that but
246
00:14:57,500 --> 00:14:59,700
it's coming back and about the
time.
247
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:02,400
It comes back in about a month
from now.
248
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:06,600
The NBA will Starry starting up.
The NHL will be starting back
249
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,700
up.
Whoa, buddy.
250
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:13,700
Um, go ahead be a week or two in
the camp we could to into Camp
251
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,000
college.
Football camp will be getting
252
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,800
kicked off the two-week, free
Camp.
253
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,800
So here's what I'm going to say.
Brian, all you guys who are
254
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,100
married have girlfriends that.
Listen.
255
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:28,300
To us, honey.
Do list.
256
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,000
Anything get them done in the
next four weeks.
257
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:36,400
Because when this thing starts
up, its going to be a rocket
258
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,100
ship, and it's going to be
insane to a honey-do list, get
259
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:43,100
your deck finished, all these
things that your wife wants you
260
00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:47,600
to do them now or you're going
to be the guy when it's like NBA

00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,900

262
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:55,200
tournament would tiger and Phil
on holy crap.
263
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,200
Wait a second, the NHL playoffs
are on.
264
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,600
Oh my God, and My favorite
baseball team is playing, what
265
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,100
am I supposed to do?
You're gonna be stuck in the
266
00:16:02,108 --> 00:16:03,500
yard if you don't get that stuff
done.
267
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:07,800
Now you know you know a lot of
this stuff is coming through.
268
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,700
You need to get it done by the
end of July.
269
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,500
Yeah my anniversary is July 24
so get it done by my
270
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:17,600
anniversary.
Brian's going to sacrifice on
271
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,300
the sword for those first open
and days, my anniversary is not
272
00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:25,600
far behind yours and early.
Part of August, and the weekend
273
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,000
of our anniversary, we actually
have a wedding to go to Nice.
274
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:35,600
So it just kind of work out but
don't have stuff like that on
275
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,700
the horizon.
Get your stuff done now.
276
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:41,500
All right, Brian.
Let's let's, let's put on some
277
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:44,800
camo, you don't black face
paint.
278
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:47,200
Mark it up.
Like, we're getting into the
279
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,300
woods here because we are going
Behind Enemy Lines today and
280
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:58,200
dropped off into the shit.
You say my friend, but we're
281
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,600
ready to go.
Go in life Braun lets me and you
282
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,800
get in the car, let's get down
95.
283
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,599
Let's try about two and a half
hours.
284
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,700
Let's Get on 40, kick a little
bit east and who get to Durham
285
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,700
and let's start in Chapel Hill
with the University of North
286
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,800
Carolina, Tar Heels and Brawn.
I take a look that returning
287
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,700
some folks, man, 17 total
starters, returning 10 on
288
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:29,000
offense.
Seven on defense and they didn't
289
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,300
lose that much.
But I know there's a couple guys
290
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:35,200
you saw that you kind of want to
hit on about who they lost.
291
00:17:35,300 --> 00:17:36,600
Yes.
The big one offense.
292
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,700
I mean you mentioned the 10
returning starters the one
293
00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:40,900
that's not is a big one and
that's Charlie.
294
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:44,500
Heck offensive tackle.
Got drafted by Houston.
295
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,900
He's going to be the one to
watch because he's the guy that
296
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:51,200
was the primary protector for
Sam.
297
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,400
How long those passing downs.
And with this type of offense,
298
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,800
three swings, the ball.
Around a lot that's going to be
299
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,800
something to watch and see if
they're able to do something to
300
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,900
plug in that spot for for 2020.
So that's going to be the big
301
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:05,700
little office.
We've got a couple of Defense.
302
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:10,900
I want to highlight Jason
strobridge the defensive, tackle
303
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:17,200
was drafted by the Dolphins.
He was 13 male CC in 2019, going
304
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,000
to be hard to replace.
That production here.
305
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,400
Forty five, tackles and 4 sacks.
And then we also had miles Dorn.
306
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,800
And set safety, they all eat.
CC, honorable mention and he had
307
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,700
83 tackles in 2019, which was
third on the team.
308
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,800
So, those are the big three key
departures that we're going to
309
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:37,400
get that UNC is going to need to
replace the biggest would be
310
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,900
Charlie.
Heck being the only departing
311
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:42,700
guy on offense whatever to keep
position.
312
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,200
Yeah, that's big because you're
talking about protecting house
313
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,800
Blindside.
I mean that was his first year
314
00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:52,400
and I tell you you have somebody
out there that's getting NFL
315
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,000
looks and gets drafted in the
NFL as a quarter.
316
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,300
You don't think about getting
smashed from The Blind Side.
317
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,000
But here's the piece I say,
Brian at defense.
318
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,900
Wasn't that good in from what
you're giving us here?
319
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:08,000
Is their kind of losing two
leaders and you can say all you
320
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:08,900
want.
Yeah.
321
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:11,900
But you know Talent leadership
still very important on the
322
00:19:11,908 --> 00:19:15,300
defensive side of the ball they
weren't that good last year.
323
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,900
Losing two guys, one gets
drafted one and honorable
324
00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:21,300
mention ACC.
I'm very interested to see if
325
00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:24,400
they will rebound.
But Brian I'll say this man.
326
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,700
They got some Talent.
We take a look at the 24/7
327
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:32,500
recruiting class rankings 2017.
There were Twenty Ninth, twenty
328
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:35,500
eighteen, they were 20th, 2019.
They were 30th.
329
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,500
So there is some Talent, still
there, you know, still on the,
330
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:44,300
on the roster.
And who?
331
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:47,200
Who's your key?
Who your key guys?
332
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,500
I'm no one's going to be the
obvious couples will be.
333
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:53,000
Obviously, it's kind of some
guys that you feel if North
334
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,500
Carolina's Gonna Stand from,
They were seven and six.
335
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:58,900
They weren't eight, nine, ten
win team.
336
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:03,900
They were a seven and sixteen
and literally every game came
337
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:06,900
down to the razor thin margin.
Yeah.
338
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,700
And that's what we're looking
at.
339
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:12,000
And I think it's going to start
with, you know, can they carry
340
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,400
that offensive momentum that
they had in 2019 over into 2020?
341
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,200
That's going to start with Sam.
How freshman All-American
342
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:24,100
quarterback, ACC Rookie of the
Year, third team, all-acc stats
343
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:29,200
out the roof.
For a freshman 3641 yards and 38
344
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,300
touchdowns.
Can he take the next step,
345
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:35,200
whatever that looks like, you
know, compared to those numbers
346
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:39,200
and be more consistent.
I think the consistency is going
347
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,900
to be the thing because I think
you get a couple games we're in.
348
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:48,100
Crunch time, he wasn't always
the same player that he was, you
349
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:51,200
know, throughout the game.
So I think we saw that, you
350
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,900
know, in Even in our game once
hooker went down and keep Eagles
351
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:56,800
in.
Are you know that was the game
352
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,800
that probably could have went
the other way very easily and we
353
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,600
were able to fight that one off
and win it.
354
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,300
It should have went the other
way because not only did h.h. go
355
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:11,700
down, Willis made this huge
screw-up and Farley was down in
356
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:14,900
the second half of that game.
So they couldn't be this without
357
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:18,100
starting quarterback and
potentially actually not
358
00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:20,300
potentially.
One of the highest-rated Corners
359
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:22,700
in the country, very interesting
on that.
360
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:28,300
But Brian, I'm gonna go with
some you said here, I mean, it's
361
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:31,100
almost like a fantasy football.
I'm looking at his stats here.
362
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:36,600
Regression has to happen to say,
I mean, if he goes above thirty
363
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,600
eight touchdowns, thirty-six
hundred yards this year, he's
364
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,400
not playing for them.
After next season, he will be in
365
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,200
the NFL, there's won't even be a
question, but he's definitely
366
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,500
got some good targets.
He's got the, you got some good
367
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:50,800
Target?
So that, I mean, the big one
368
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,000
obviously is going to be the Ami
Brown.
369
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,100
He was 30 All ACC he led the
team in touchdowns at the wide
370
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:02,100
receiver position with 12 and he
was over a thousand yards
371
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:04,500
receiving.
So that's the big one.
372
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:09,800
The other one that we know a lot
more about unfortunately is Das
373
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:15,600
Newsome. 757 products heavily
recruited by the Hokies, but,
374
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:20,000
you know, he's down there and in
Chapel Hill, he was second-team,
375
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,900
all-acc little bit lower on the
touchdown in yards, ranking
376
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:25,200
then.
Brown.
377
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,100
He had thousand 18 and 10
touchdowns but that kids a
378
00:22:29,108 --> 00:22:31,800
playmaker, he makes plays all
over the field and that's a
379
00:22:31,808 --> 00:22:35,800
dynamic one-two punch as you're
going to see in the ACC.
380
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,800
Absolutely.
And we know the dads new
381
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:44,200
something 757 dad went to Tech,
I can't remember is beyond
382
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,600
brother or cousin, the lineage
was there.
383
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,800
It was.
This is our guy, we miss on him
384
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:53,700
Tommy Brown.
Same way out of Charlotte.
385
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,400
Um, you know, he's a A four-star
coming out.
386
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,600
And literally, when he came down
to decision time, it was between
387
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,200
us and Carolina.
And he went to Carolina.
388
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:06,900
So, you know, you look at Brown,
you talk about those 12
389
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:09,600
touchdowns.
The guys are 62 guy, he's a big
390
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,000
body guy.
So makes a lot of sense but on
391
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,100
the other side of the ball run.
So the big one on the other side
392
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:18,100
of the bar, we're going to talk
about its chest to rot.
393
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,700
Linebacker last season, he was
first team all-acc and runner-up
394
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:28,100
ACC defensive player of the year
before spray.
395
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:29,600
It last year.
He was a quarterback.
396
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:35,700
Yes he was.
So talk about going from being a
397
00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:42,000
quarterback on on the depth
chart to being a cc runner-up
398
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,200
for for defensive player of the
year, in less than a calendar.
399
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,500
Year is a pretty impressive feat
there.
400
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:52,700
Sure, I'll be one second in the
ACC and tackles with 115.
401
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,000
So I mean this guy can make
plays all over the field.
402
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,800
He's Dynamic probably other than
Rook is the only other
403
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,800
linebacker that I would say you
know, is going to give him a run
404
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,500
in terms of total tackles this
year.
405
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:10,200
So look for him to make some
noise on that defense and be
406
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,000
that leader.
That's going to step up with
407
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,400
some of the departing leaders
that are that are now.
408
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,400
He's either in the NFL or lost
to graduation.
409
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,700
Are you give that kid all the
credit in the world was actually
410
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:24,500
pretty good, ready quarterback
coming out and he makes that
411
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:30,100
switch in and be essentially
steps, you know, not only in
412
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:34,700
into a solid role but excels at
it shows you he's a football
413
00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:38,200
player, not just a specific
quarterback wide receiver.
414
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:45,500
One of you want to say and I
again he they CC co-defensive
415
00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:48,100
player of the year last year
defensive player of the year and
416
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:50,100
they still work.
Terrible on defense.
417
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:53,600
Yeah, and again he's a
linebacker.
418
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:56,900
All right, you mentioned the guy
that's getting drafted just
419
00:24:56,900 --> 00:25:00,700
before is he going to be able to
Excel without somebody up front?
420
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:08,000
Making that kind of Havoc like
strobridge did I'm very a lot of
421
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,500
people are very bullish on North
Carolina right now.
422
00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:16,800
Brian I'm bear because they had
all the elements last year
423
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,700
because they it was soon.
Under to Louisville, who will
424
00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:23,800
discuss later.
They were a bad team, they quit
425
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,200
on their coach, it doesn't take
much if a guy can come in and
426
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,400
motivate good players to have a
turnaround, it really doesn't.
427
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:37,200
But um, how about this Brian?
I'm talking bearish, I'm getting
428
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,400
ahead of myself here, who some
guys that maybe have been behind
429
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,500
the curtain that have to emerge
if they're going to improve upon
430
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:51,800
their seven and six record.
So if we're talking What about
431
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,800
some of the reason why people
are jumping on this UNC
432
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,400
bandwagon part of this got to do
with their 20s and what they
433
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,800
wanted done.
So far the 21 class but with the
434
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,500
20 class which method number
one, ranked defensive player
435
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:11,900
Desmond Evans, North Korea on a
product.
436
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:14,800
They're looking for him to have
an instant impact.
437
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,300
Your one on, he's going to be a
guy that can that that's up
438
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:20,500
front.
That's going to be able to make
439
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:21,600
some plays.
For them.
440
00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:24,500
So that's going to be step one
for them.
441
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:27,000
If he can come in and be an
incident that player that's
442
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,700
going to shore up some of the
problems they have on the long
443
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:33,800
that they're their defensive
front talking about some other
444
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,900
guys.
Let's look at camera on Kelly
445
00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:42,300
who we also know a little bit
about Oh yes, camera on Kelly.
446
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,200
Let's see, committed to text
decommitted recommence to Auburn
447
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:49,200
these Auburn after the spring to
recommit to North Carolina.
448
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,800
Yeah, yeah.
It's a fun time, huh?
449
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,000
But he did play in five games
last year and gotten to the
450
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,100
point where he was in the
starting role before he went
451
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:01,400
down with an injury.
So he's going to look to step
452
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,000
into a key role at safety for
them 2020.
453
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:08,900
And then we've got good ol
stormed.
454
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,700
Duchess either, the best of the
worst cornerback name in
455
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:17,200
history.
He came on late in the season.
456
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,500
He posted non-starch last year,
cornerback started a couple
457
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:24,800
games I say people I think, but
finished off at quarterback he's
458
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,900
looking a lockdown that position
this year.
459
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:30,000
That's going to be important for
them to stop the passing game.
460
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,800
Like I said, I think they're
setting the linebacker position
461
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:36,100
but they've got some question
marks in the in the secondary.
462
00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:39,200
And they got some question marks
up front, whether they can You
463
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,900
know replace trowbridge's
production of defensive tackle
464
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:45,900
and whether it has been Evans
can come in and be an instant
465
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:49,300
impact player.
Yeah, storm.
466
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:54,600
Ducks going to me be a real key
and not only because he's a
467
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,700
quarterback but more or less,
it's kendre blast each Corners
468
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:02,100
how to play the game of
football, you can give this
469
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:05,900
first year and say, Hey, you
know, we're we're going to give
470
00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:11,200
him a pass because for the
simple fact, this was his first
471
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:17,600
year ever coaching.
We get it that that's not too
472
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,000
crazy on the other kid.
Yep, you're going from high
473
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,700
school to college first year.
He's got a good bill, 66 to 45.
474
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,600
I've been trying to research it
here.
475
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:36,200
I'm not sure what Lee County is.
As far as play goes.
476
00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:40,400
I was just like a to a or a one,
a school where he was the
477
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,100
biggest kid out there, he's
going to look Diamond it Because
478
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:48,300
you should, that's something
very interesting.
479
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:52,100
I'd like to know, we should
probably dial in Robbie Compton
480
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:53,400
right now.
He'd probably be able to tell us
481
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,600
in three seconds.
What Lee County is it?
482
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,700
Is it essentially in one of
those higher higher leagues
483
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:05,300
where it's like, oh, you're
playing studs are like do a, if
484
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:08,100
he ain't dominating at that
level then there's a lot of
485
00:29:08,100 --> 00:29:10,400
problems.
So there we go.
486
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,100
All right, Brian, do you wanna
get back in the car?
487
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,500
Let's get back in the car, man.
Worried in, let's get on 40.
488
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:19,500
Let's say that eight miles up
the road.
489
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,900
Let's head down to Duke.
The Blue Devils.
490
00:29:24,500 --> 00:29:27,100
But man, that was a tough game
to watch last year.
491
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:44,700
I don't even take another sip.
Yeah, since 9:00 defense.
492
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:47,600
So, with some experience coming
back.
493
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,500
As much as I hate.
He put it on this last year,
494
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:52,500
love.
Cutting those out of coach.
495
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,500
But Brian they obviously they've
lost a few starters, what
496
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,600
where's there?
Some of the key, guys?
497
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:06,100
They lost that that might might
slow them down from getting back
498
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:09,900
into a Bowl this year.
So I mean, if you watch Duke
499
00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:13,500
every, you know that, you know,
they're sound all around.
500
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:17,400
But they generally have a pretty
good front seven on defense and
501
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,900
that's what they're losing a
couple key components of here,
502
00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:26,100
defensive tackle.
Khaled GE, Sarah Nord, he was
503
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:29,000
probably their best interior
player last year.
504
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,700
They've lost him also trade,
hornbuckle defensive in had 34
505
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:37,400
tackles and 4 sacks last year.
They rotate a lot of guys.
506
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,900
So a lot of guys, get some time
on that defense of wide.
507
00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:43,900
But he was kind of the big
playmaker in terms of getting a
508
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,100
lot of snaps but also making
some plays.
509
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:50,400
And Kobe Kwanzaa, who's the
linebacker?
510
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,400
He was the emotional leader on
the field for them.
511
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:55,800
That that's definitely a big
presence that's going to be
512
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,300
missed for them.
He was all ACC 1305, tackles,
513
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:04,300
including 13 against us and that
god-awful game we played against
514
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:07,100
them.
And he was also fourth in the
515
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:10,400
ACC, four tackles per game.
So he's a playmaker, he's a guy
516
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,600
who can get out there and get it
done and they're gonna
517
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,300
definitely miss him this year.
Yeah, and you defense was pretty
518
00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:19,500
good last year, especially if on
that front seven, as you
519
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:22,000
mentioned, it's something
they're always good at again.
520
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,000
David cutcliffe, man.
What can, what can you say about
521
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,100
the guy?
But it's do, the expectations
522
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:31,900
are low.
They kind of could sneak up on
523
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:36,700
you and Ron, the recruiting,
it's never been out of this
524
00:31:36,700 --> 00:31:40,000
world.
I mean, the 2017 class was 47.
525
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:45,500
20 1863, 20, 1949, but cut
tried.
526
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,000
He tries to find football
players.
527
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,600
He tries to find fits But who's
coming back to who could make
528
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,800
the think there are 47 or 48 in
a 4.7 who can put them to 67
529
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,900
wins and get them back into a
bowl.
530
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:04,600
Who are you?
Feeling is some of their key
531
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:08,900
returning starters.
So returning guys I mean they
532
00:32:08,900 --> 00:32:12,800
don't really have a whole lot of
what you call big-name guys with
533
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,000
the guys, I want to focus on.
We got in particular Chris rumph
534
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,400
the second Junior defensive end,
he's getting a lot.
535
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:25,800
Of Pro Football Focus Buzz based
on how he graded out across the
536
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,900
board last year.
He had six and a half sacks,
537
00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:31,600
even though he wasn't what you
would call, a starting defensive
538
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,700
end for the Blue Devils but he
was a guy that was very much a
539
00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:37,600
specialist when it came to pass
rushing.
540
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,200
But he was all well enough.
All around were when he graded
541
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,000
out, he graded out very high.
Only started one game so we'll
542
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,500
see if he can be the guy that
can impact every down and not
543
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:52,400
just you.
Those specialty type situations
544
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:58,300
that he played a lot last year.
Other guy want to look at is
545
00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:02,000
Noah gray, so he's been he's a
tight end.
546
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,900
He was a team leader both on and
off the field for them last
547
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:07,800
year.
Caught 51 Falls had three
548
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:12,200
touchdowns almost say it again.
Two of them were against
549
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,600
Virginia Tech, so it seemed like
all the key players on the Duke
550
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,100
Squad had their best game
against us last year.
551
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:24,600
So, You know, it is what it is
at this point but so no grades.
552
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,100
Another got to look at to maybe
take another step forward.
553
00:33:28,100 --> 00:33:32,400
Coming to a key role in that
offense as they look to replace
554
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,100
some key components.
Despite returning a decent
555
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,400
amount of on that side of the
ball.
556
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,100
They were also looking at Deon
Jackson.
557
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,600
He's a, he's running back.
He's going to be the key key
558
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,200
running back to watch for them
this year.
559
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,300
He had six foot 141 yards and
six touchdowns in 2019.
560
00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:53,000
This is going to look to improve
upon that and become more of a
561
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,200
consistent playmaker for them,
but they probably will employ
562
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,500
some level of platoon system at
running back.
563
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:02,900
Like, Most teens are doing now,
but he's going to be the rb1, a,
564
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:08,100
at least I got you, you know,
offensively, I you never really
565
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,800
kind of don't worry about
Sutcliffe because cutcliffe will
566
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,800
find a wrinkles every year a
little different things to do.
567
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:19,000
I can remember watching the
Alabama game last year with with
568
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,800
Quentin Harris and Corey comes
out looking like Georgia Tech
569
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,900
and for a quarter and a half.
He had Alabama, completely
570
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:30,100
befuddled.
Now eventually Talent wins but I
571
00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:33,800
talked about a few minutes ago
cut they're never going to have
572
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,000
the highest ranking.
Chris rumph is one of those guys
573
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,400
man.
I mean he was a three-star, an
574
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,199
82 grade coming out of Florida
and now he's probably on the
575
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:49,400
verge of getting drafted next
year and it's just one of those
576
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,199
things that's like How does this
happen?
577
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:53,600
It's like David cutcliffe knows
football.
578
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:58,900
Now, Brian you mentioned, No
Gray mentioned GI and Jackson.
579
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:04,300
One of the big stories this year
for Juke that kind of made.
580
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:07,400
It did make it to a national
level but for college football
581
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,500
fans like ourselves, definitely
made it.
582
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,800
Cut went down to Clemson and he
found him something.
583
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:19,500
Yeah.
So you know, other, some of
584
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:22,000
those other key departures we
talked about earlier, the big
585
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,100
one is obviously Quinn.
Harris starting quarterback last
586
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:29,400
year, so they said, we need to
find something here.
587
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:35,200
So what they do, they got chase
price, so he was backing up.
588
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:39,600
Trevor, Lawrence, looks like a
guy that's definitely capable of
589
00:35:39,700 --> 00:35:43,400
stepping in and being a day.
One starter for them.
590
00:35:43,500 --> 00:35:46,300
Obviously he's going to have
some competition from from the
591
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:47,800
other guy.
On the depth chart there.
592
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,100
But looks to step in and make
his name known right away.
593
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,900
Not a whole lot of stats on and
other than garbage time, but the
594
00:35:56,900 --> 00:36:00,700
one key game he did play in was
he led a comeback against
595
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:04,900
Syracuse in 2018, when when
Lawrence went down with the rich
596
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:08,700
injury and that was right after
Brian he put his name out there
597
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:14,200
to transfer so it was a pretty
big situation there that this
598
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,800
guy pretty relative unknown
stepped in and Got them a win in
599
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,100
conference play there so that's
definitely able to get the job
600
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:25,000
done.
And this is something just kind
601
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,200
of Little off-topic Brian.
But you know, when case price
602
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,300
came out, he was essentially, he
was like an eighty eighty-eight
603
00:36:33,300 --> 00:36:36,700
eighty-nine type rated guy.
So right on the verge of being
604
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:40,600
that forced our top 20
quarterback and he commits to
605
00:36:40,607 --> 00:36:43,800
Clemson who had already had at
that point in time.
606
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,800
The number two rated
quarterback.
607
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,600
So it's one of those things
people we talked about
608
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,900
recruiting, sometimes it's like,
dude, why are you going there?
609
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:56,600
And then the next year, they get
Trevor and the guy spends time
610
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,600
on the bench, thankfully for
him, there's transfer portals
611
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,600
and there's ways to get out
where you can share your
612
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,000
talents.
So I'm very interested to see
613
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:10,500
Chase Bryce, but Brian, you
wasn't great offense early last
614
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:14,600
year they put it on us but they
weren't typical cut put thing
615
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:18,900
but They might have some other
guys helping out, who do you?
616
00:37:18,900 --> 00:37:21,200
See helping potentially out on
that offense.
617
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:26,200
So the big ones going to be
Jalan Calhoun, he had a good
618
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:32,000
true freshman campaign at wide
receiver in 2019 was kind of a
619
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,200
guy that started to come on late
as the season went on despite
620
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,800
them having problems with being
competitive in the ACC play
621
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,700
other than when they played us
but he's going to be looked on
622
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:50,200
as as the key wide receiver for
them in 2020 to step up
623
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,900
especially with breaking in a
new starting quarterback.
624
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:57,300
Quarterback.
And in that same vein we're
625
00:37:57,300 --> 00:38:02,300
looking at a guy like Jacob monk
who's going to be the key on
626
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:05,600
that offensive line for the,
he's gonna be the linchpin to
627
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,000
kind of hold everything together
and is going to have to count it
628
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,900
on Big Time this season again.
We're breaking in a new starting
629
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:16,900
quarterback got to protect the
the franchise as it were, so
630
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,500
he's going to be leaned on
heavily.
631
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,100
Nice.
All right.
632
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:25,300
Um, do did have some coaching
changes in the offseason, the
633
00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:28,300
offensive line, coach Jim
Bridge, he resigned his position
634
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,600
and it's taken over by Greg.
Fry fries actually coming up
635
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,900
from Florida, where he was an
offensive analyst in 2019.
636
00:38:36,500 --> 00:38:41,000
His last coaching role was in
2018 at FSU, as the Orion coach
637
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:45,300
Run game coordinator.
We've discussed before FS,
638
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:48,300
you've had some offensive line
struggles but you go back to
639
00:38:48,308 --> 00:38:50,700
2017.
I mean he was at Michigan where
640
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:54,100
he was there tackle and tight
end Coach also their run game
641
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:57,200
coordinator.
Now one of the key losses and
642
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,300
it's very interesting when you
see a guy get this sort of
643
00:38:59,300 --> 00:39:02,900
promotion, Derrick Jones was the
defensive back coach free for
644
00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:05,300
Duke last year.
He went to Texas Tech.
645
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,200
He's now a co-defensive
coordinator.
646
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:10,600
He's been replaced by Chris
Hampton who comes from Tulane.
647
00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:15,900
This is his first power 5,
coaching gig Hampton did play
648
00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:19,100
collegiately at South Carolina
and bring them around back up.
649
00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:21,600
We missed UNC.
Let's get back to go.
650
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,700
Back to Capitol Hill for just a
second.
651
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,600
Their biggest only make one big
change.
652
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,800
Scott, Boone was let go as a
special teams coordinator engine
653
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,000
Van de Wit replaced him DeWitt
comes over from Nebraska.
654
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:38,400
He's also going to be the
outside linebackers coach.
655
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,800
He also was with frost during
the undefeated season at UCF.
656
00:39:44,500 --> 00:39:46,700
Pretty good special teams coach
coming over.
657
00:39:46,700 --> 00:39:49,000
So a good pickup by Mack Brown
and them.
658
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,100
So, yeah, so both teams making
coaching changes.
659
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:57,100
What do you feel about the
coaching changes down in Dental
660
00:39:57,100 --> 00:40:01,500
Tobacco Road?
So I think the Special Teams is
661
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:05,100
going to be key because I think
if UNC can Shore up some of the
662
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:09,900
things they do on special teams
to go with their offensive
663
00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:13,100
Improvement and hope and what
they I'm sure they hope is going
664
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:18,000
to be at least a step up on
defense of production that could
665
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,900
be scary.
I'm not I'm not quite as bare as
666
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:25,800
you are but I'm not in the the
full-on Tar Heel height train
667
00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:29,700
that the majority of the college
football writers are at Right
668
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:31,600
now.
So I'm somewhere in the middle.
669
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:34,800
Clap plastic me right there in
the middle.
670
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:40,400
But yeah, I think they're going
to be a good team but I think
671
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:45,200
you're right there and I think
maybe maybe a team like pits
672
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,600
going to be right there who were
going to talk about here in a
673
00:40:47,607 --> 00:40:49,000
second.
Terms of Duke.
674
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,100
I don't, I'm not sure what type
of impact that's going to be.
675
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:56,800
Obviously, having a guy stepping
into a power 5 gig for the first
676
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,300
time is going to be something
that could could be something to
677
00:41:00,300 --> 00:41:03,400
keep an eye on.
So, I think that's definitely
678
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,900
gonna potentially be a step down
at that position, but we'll keep
679
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:10,700
our eyes open and see what that
looks like.
680
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:14,500
Yeah, that's a big key to the
first power 5, but I always find
681
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:17,000
it interesting, though.
When you lose a guy in the next
682
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,200
thing, you know, he is title as
a code, something whether Co
683
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,200
offense or defense because it
says, okay, if this guy did well
684
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,200
enough to get in that type of
position, what was he doing
685
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,400
schematically or gameplay and
wise with the old defensive
686
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,100
coordinator?
Because when you see a guy do
687
00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:39,800
that, it has Ben and coordinator
for it usually says they put
688
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,600
some responsibilities on him
with his old team where he was
689
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,100
well enough.
And first enough to walk into
690
00:41:46,100 --> 00:41:49,700
another Palatine program and now
we'll get a title which
691
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:52,600
obviously is going to bring for
responsibility more money.
692
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,200
All right, Brian.
Let's get back in the car, man.
693
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,500
Let's let's hit up 95.
Let's get up to d.c.
694
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:06,000
Let's hang a left on the
Pennsylvania, Turnpike and head
695
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:10,000
to pit.
So the wonderful Pitt Panthers
696
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,000
returning 17 starters, not on
offense and on defense couple
697
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,700
guys, man kind of didn't go the
way of the NFL draft that people
698
00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:24,200
thought, so some very luck there
but they did lose a few.
699
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:27,500
Key guys.
Yeah, so there's two there's two
700
00:42:27,500 --> 00:42:29,800
big ones that I want to point
out the big one.
701
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,000
The biggest one being Jane
Jackson their corner back.
702
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,300
There was drafted in the seventh
round by the bills.
703
00:42:35,900 --> 00:42:39,600
He was all-acc second-team last
year so that's going to be a big
704
00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:42,900
blow for them in the secondary
and then on the other side of
705
00:42:42,908 --> 00:42:48,800
the ball their key wide receiver
or res French eight hundred
706
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,600
fifty yards and four touchdowns
in 2019 despite missing two
707
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,400
games.
One of them against Virginia
708
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,200
Tech, he ended up getting picked
up as much right to free agent
709
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,900
by the chief.
So those are two big big-time
710
00:43:02,900 --> 00:43:05,300
contributors one on each side of
the ball that they're going to
711
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:10,500
be missing out on next year.
Yeah anytime you any time you
712
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:14,300
lose a corner who gets drafted,
you know that there was some
713
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:18,500
potential chance chances are
during weeks where it was like
714
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,900
we don't have to worry about
that size of the side of the
715
00:43:20,900 --> 00:43:24,100
field.
So that's definitely a big loss
716
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:28,800
for They bring a lot back on
defense they also again it's pit
717
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,500
they're not the biggest, they're
not getting top 15 top 20
718
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:35,900
classes but again it's Narducci.
Much like cutcliffe he finds
719
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:39,900
Fitz, he makes it happen.
Twenty Seventeen, Thirty
720
00:43:39,900 --> 00:43:42,500
seventh, ranked class twenty
eighteen forty, eighth ranked
721
00:43:42,500 --> 00:43:47,300
class, the 2019, the 59th ranked
class so it has been going down.
722
00:43:47,300 --> 00:43:50,200
But Brian they return some
Talent, man.
723
00:43:51,500 --> 00:43:54,300
Yeah, big-time Town, especially
a couple guys here, I'll start
724
00:43:54,300 --> 00:43:57,000
with the big one, which is Jalen
Twyman.
725
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:01,200
What can you really say about
this guy?
726
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,400
41, tackles and ten and a half
sacks has an interior defensive,
727
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:09,700
lineman and, 2019 second-team,
All-American and first-team
728
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:15,100
all-acc complete stud in that
interior defense of wine.
729
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,900
And, you know, looking to make
an additional jump on those
730
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:22,100
numbers coming into 2020.
So that's Be the big one.
731
00:44:22,700 --> 00:44:24,900
And right next to him.
There is going to be Patrick
732
00:44:24,900 --> 00:44:27,000
Jones.
The second with 43 tackles and a
733
00:44:27,008 --> 00:44:31,700
teammate to have sex last year
at the defensive end spot.
734
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:37,300
He was all second-team all-acc,
making plays all over the field,
735
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:40,900
good off the edge.
So those are the big two in
736
00:44:40,900 --> 00:44:43,900
terms of getting pressure on the
quarterback and that was really
737
00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:46,600
their Hallmark, their calling
card last year was getting at
738
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,300
the quarterback and that they
were helped out a little bit by
739
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,900
by safety.
Paris for just coming back as
740
00:44:52,900 --> 00:44:56,200
well.
First-team, all-acc, and looking
741
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,300
to improve on that impressive,
2019 campaign, as well.
742
00:44:59,300 --> 00:45:01,800
So those are the big three on
defense.
743
00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:05,900
Keep your eye out for in 2020.
Absolutely.
744
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:09,600
You look at Twyman in Paris
forward, I think nor doozies,
745
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,100
very lucky that those guys came
back.
746
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:17,000
Twyman is ready to play it in FL
level watching him.
747
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,600
He was one of those guys being
you kind of watch that pit game.
748
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:24,200
You kind of saw and And you just
kind of said and it has a beast
749
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,900
and Paris Ford has been the
truth since he was recruited for
750
00:45:28,900 --> 00:45:31,300
star.
One of the best players in his
751
00:45:31,300 --> 00:45:36,100
recruiting class back in 2017,
you know, Paris for believe it
752
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:39,500
or not.
A Ford was a top hundred player
753
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:45,600
stayed home and same way.
He's a guy that you're very kind
754
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:50,600
of shocked that came back for
one additional year, but Brian
755
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,900
you've mentioned it.
Lot on defense, but I mean is it
756
00:45:53,900 --> 00:45:57,800
is it any question who he's the
key?
757
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:02,400
Oh, maybe if pits going to do
anything in 2020, it's going to
758
00:46:02,408 --> 00:46:04,900
be that Kenny pick.
It takes another step forward as
759
00:46:04,900 --> 00:46:09,000
a quarterback, they're looking
to probably get to the nine win
760
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,300
range.
If they're trying to win a
761
00:46:11,308 --> 00:46:17,600
coastal championship and and go
play probably Clemson in the ACC
762
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,600
Championship.
So if they're going to make any
763
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,300
any sort of Run it that it's
going to be because a guy like
764
00:46:23,300 --> 00:46:26,500
Kenny picket at quarterback is
going to take another step
765
00:46:26,500 --> 00:46:30,800
forward and be more consistent
getting the ball to his
766
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,200
Playmakers.
I mean we saw in the in the
767
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,000
Virginia Tech game and he
struggled sometimes getting
768
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000
accurate throws when he had
pressure coming at him.
769
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,400
And I think if he can get some
improvement of that area, they
770
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,000
might make some noise in the
coastal.
771
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,300
And if they don't they're just
going to be a team with a really
772
00:46:49,300 --> 00:46:51,500
good defense that can't score.
Ants.
773
00:46:51,900 --> 00:46:54,200
Yeah, well you mentioned the
tech game again.
774
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,700
Me and you got to go to last
year coming in that game.
775
00:46:56,700 --> 00:46:58,900
They were one of the hottest
teams in the ACC.
776
00:46:58,900 --> 00:47:02,100
They had won six of seven.
The only laws was a four-point
777
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:07,300
loss to Miami and then the last
two games we goose egg on.
778
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:13,200
And then they lose to BC at home
by touchdown, Which just kind of
779
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,500
put a huge damper on them.
Because when they walked in that
780
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:19,100
dgn, they were one of those
teams that they could beat us.
781
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:23,500
They potentially could make the
ACC Championship they didn't in
782
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:27,800
those last few games, man.
You know, pick, it was terrible
783
00:47:28,700 --> 00:47:31,600
at Virginia Tech.
It was he was off, we had the
784
00:47:31,900 --> 00:47:34,700
strip sack, fumble very early in
the game roof.
785
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,200
Brooks trypsin big Crawford,
snatches it up, runs it in.
786
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,800
And then, you know, you take a
look at the pit game.
787
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:53,200
I mean, you know, 30 or 40.
For 300 yards, one pick sacked,
788
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,800
four times.
I mean, the question is, during
789
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,400
that six of seven, win streak
dick, Kenney Pickett is, did he
790
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,500
hit the ceiling?
And if he hit a ceiling is seven
791
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:08,400
or eight their Max.
And if he has some of those bad
792
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,600
games, like he did against Tech,
could they come back to earth
793
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,200
Brawn?
I have a feeling, you're not,
794
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,700
ask you who's going to emerge, I
don't think it's gonna be
795
00:48:18,700 --> 00:48:20,100
anybody on defense.
This is it.
796
00:48:21,100 --> 00:48:24,100
No, I mean the primarily we're
looking at guys on offense, need
797
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:27,000
to take a step forward.
I think defense, the guys they
798
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,400
have coming in are necessarily
better than their losses but
799
00:48:30,700 --> 00:48:32,700
they're solid.
And you know, they've already
800
00:48:32,700 --> 00:48:37,200
got a lot of talent returning
already, but we're looking guys,
801
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,400
we need to step up and take a
step forward for them.
802
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,500
In 2019, that's all on the
offensive side of the ball and
803
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:46,200
it's going to start with shocky
jacques-louis, their wide
804
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,900
receiver.
He's going to step into a key
805
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:50,900
role.
The You're after starting six
806
00:48:50,900 --> 00:48:55,900
games last year, had right at
350 yards and two touchdowns in
807
00:48:55,900 --> 00:48:59,600
2019, seasonal looked need to
improve upon those numbers,
808
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:05,100
probably at least get into the
5800 yard range as one of their
809
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:08,300
primary targets if they're going
to take another step forward.
810
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,800
When we talk about some other
targets, that any Pickett's
811
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,600
going to have, we need to look
at a guy, crawl graduate
812
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:22,700
transfer out of Florida.
Ow, who's awesome time for the
813
00:49:22,700 --> 00:49:26,600
Gators and 18 and 19.
So he's will look to have
814
00:49:26,700 --> 00:49:31,700
probably some instant impact
that it offense after their
815
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:33,900
shaky finish to close out the
year.
816
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:37,900
But it'll be another Target for
chitty chicken there and it
817
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:46,000
seemed the field, some pit but
has seen some power five snaps
818
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,700
there.
So look for him in the final,
819
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:51,300
he's going to be Vince.
Beavis, who's the running back
820
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:56,000
true freshman.
Last year showed that was very
821
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,600
impressive in some spots in
between.
822
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,000
Nineteen, he had 314 yards,
rushing and five touchdowns so
823
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,800
you know, to find the end zone
pretty well.
824
00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:09,000
So they're looking for him to
take a step in the offseason and
825
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,000
help them out.
Because if you look at what,
826
00:50:12,700 --> 00:50:16,300
what pit was doing on ovens last
year, they just could not run
827
00:50:16,300 --> 00:50:18,700
the football, they cannot run
the football.
828
00:50:18,700 --> 00:50:22,200
So he's gonna you need to be the
guy that's going to step up and
829
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,100
make some of those big plays in
the running game.
830
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:28,000
So take a little bit of pressure
off of Kenny Pickett and what
831
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,400
they're trying to do passing the
ball.
832
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,700
Yeah.
You're a hundred percent right
833
00:50:31,700 --> 00:50:34,700
by that but there's one thing I
worry about Vincent Davis man,
834
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:41,000
he's 58 he's 175 pounds and if
and you saw you feel like the
835
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,500
touchdowns are good.
He has some handsome different
836
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:45,100
parts of the game that can help
out.
837
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:50,300
But is he going to be the guy
and it 58 175?
838
00:50:50,300 --> 00:50:53,300
Can he be the guy or is it going
to be Rose rotational things?
839
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:56,300
Which you know, in today's era
of college football?
840
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,800
It does happen.
But if you take one of your best
841
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,500
players off the field because
you can't give him that
842
00:51:02,500 --> 00:51:07,600
pounding, it definitely hurts
co-prime, believe it or not, it
843
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,300
made no coaching changes, none,
shocking.
844
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,500
But let me ask her to Z is he's
holding what?
845
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,800
Has, huh?
He is, but I'm gonna ask you
846
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,500
this.
He's only had one losing season
847
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:25,200
since he's been at Pitt, but no
Seasons with more than eight
848
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,600
wins.
If he has a bad season, could he
849
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,200
be on the hot seat?
I think so.
850
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,300
I think he's definitely going to
be put on the hot seat if he
851
00:51:34,300 --> 00:51:37,800
doesn't come out.
And when I think he almost has
852
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:42,700
to win the coastal this year, to
not have some level of fire
853
00:51:42,700 --> 00:51:44,900
under his ass, going into the
next offseason.
854
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,500
But at the same time, if he
doesn't get to that, that nine
855
00:51:49,500 --> 00:51:53,500
win threshold, whether they go
play for the coastal or not, I
856
00:51:53,500 --> 00:51:57,200
think it's going to be still
something that they're going to
857
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,800
look at, because I know that
pits never been at least in
858
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,400
recent history a team that's
going to go out and shatter the
859
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:10,800
Earth but at some point you have
to get a little tired of
860
00:52:11,100 --> 00:52:14,700
mediocrity and I think there's
stuck in mediocrity.
861
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:20,300
I think we've been a little bit
above that, just not the last
862
00:52:20,300 --> 00:52:25,700
two seasons necessarily, but
we've been A step above that and
863
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,400
I'm hoping that we take another
step back into that same
864
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,000
direction this year.
But it's definitely been in that
865
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,000
good.
But never great category or a
866
00:52:35,008 --> 00:52:38,100
long Common especially under are
doozies Direction.
867
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,000
Yeah, it's absolutely about
Virginia Tech.
868
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,800
The first two seasons, under
Justin Fuente, ten and nine
869
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,300
wins.
We were well above, we have to
870
00:52:47,300 --> 00:52:50,800
rebuild it six.
Then we had the eight last year
871
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:55,700
but as many of us who have a few
cocktails and then start
872
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:58,600
looking, we say, we could have
won 10 games last year, widely,
873
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,100
screw the pooch.
A few times.
874
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:04,100
So, but let's move on, Brian.
Let's go get some bourbon.
875
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,400
You wanna go get some bourbon
over in Louisville?
876
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,000
Let's do that, man.
Let's do it.
877
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,300
All right, so Louisville, last
year, hell of a rebound year by
878
00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:16,800
Scott Satterfield in his first
season, but he lost some guys,
879
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,400
of all the teams we discussed
today, they are returning.
880
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,700
The least amount of starters.
They overturn the 15 starters,
881
00:53:23,500 --> 00:53:27,200
seven on offense, 8 on defense
and Brian.
882
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,000
If me if I drove the your house,
Mechanics bill and we kicked
883
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,900
down heading down to the East
End over the Highland Springs.
884
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:40,100
There is a big big loss but
yeah.
885
00:53:40,100 --> 00:53:44,100
Big-time lost Big Time loss.
We got Makai becton, Holland
886
00:53:44,100 --> 00:53:47,600
spring Springer of the 804
drafted 11th.
887
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,900
Overall in the first round to
the Jets, that's a big time
888
00:53:52,900 --> 00:53:56,300
factor for them now, it was
probably the right decision for
889
00:53:56,300 --> 00:53:57,900
him.
Obviously after getting drafted
890
00:53:57,900 --> 00:53:59,100
11th.
Yeah.
891
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,700
It was a junior so that was a
potentially unexpected departure
892
00:54:03,700 --> 00:54:09,000
for them on top of losing their
senior tackle, Tyler hatecraft,
893
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,200
so they're losing both tackles
and one of them being what you
894
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,500
would call an all-world type
tackle.
895
00:54:16,300 --> 00:54:21,200
So that's going to be big-time
blow for them on offense.
896
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:25,000
Now, when we talk about defense
and who they are, who they lost
897
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:27,800
the biggest thing is going to be
Kane pass.
898
00:54:29,300 --> 00:54:32,400
He was a safety and he have the
the second most tackles on the
899
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,200
team s was solo tackles on the
team in third, most tackles
900
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:41,000
total and he got a good look by
some NFL Scouts as well.
901
00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:43,400
In terms of the undrafted free
agent Market.
902
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,800
That's a big loss in the
secondary, some of the other
903
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,100
guys that they lost some of them
were kind of portal guys.
904
00:54:51,100 --> 00:54:54,800
And some of them were guys from
the old regime that that
905
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,700
decided, you know, Moving on.
But in terms of the key,
906
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,500
Contributors to that 2019.
Turn around.
907
00:55:02,500 --> 00:55:04,600
Those are the big three.
They are the two tackles in the
908
00:55:04,607 --> 00:55:06,500
safety.
Yeah.
909
00:55:06,500 --> 00:55:10,900
Obviously, you talked about
losing to book in tackles one,
910
00:55:10,900 --> 00:55:12,700
who is obviously, you said it
all World.
911
00:55:12,700 --> 00:55:16,900
Believe he's an NFL player.
Now, drafted in the first round,
912
00:55:17,500 --> 00:55:20,400
the other on the right side, I
mentioned this the other day, I
913
00:55:20,408 --> 00:55:23,500
wish we played them earlier in
the season because as, you know,
914
00:55:23,500 --> 00:55:26,400
from playing offensive line, one
of the toughest things to do is
915
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,700
get a new line to jail,
especially when you're playing.
916
00:55:28,700 --> 00:55:35,500
Facing bookends now Brian there
they actually had some Talent.
917
00:55:35,500 --> 00:55:39,000
Macau is part of the 2017 class,
which is thirty fourth ranked
918
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:43,600
2018 30th rank, 2019, their 69th
rank.
919
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,900
But after the freaking dumpster
fire Bobby Petrino set on fire
920
00:55:46,900 --> 00:55:48,100
there.
It's a miracle.
921
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:53,800
Satterfield pulled 69 off that
recruiting class that was
922
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:59,100
impressive very impressive but
they clearly have some Talent
923
00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:01,400
coming back.
I'm not we're not dipping below
924
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,700
that five on each side of the
ball.
925
00:56:03,700 --> 00:56:05,800
So who do you feel?
It's got to be some of those
926
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:11,600
guys to potentially for them.
They did win more games than you
927
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,900
and see last year to potentially
get them a little higher up and
928
00:56:15,900 --> 00:56:20,900
maybe give Clemson a fight.
So the biggest key returning
929
00:56:20,900 --> 00:56:24,700
starters for them are going to
be their wide receivers,
930
00:56:25,900 --> 00:56:29,200
particularly 22 at.
Well, who's the big play thread?
931
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:30,900
He's coming off 1,000-yard
season?
932
00:56:31,700 --> 00:56:35,100
Reminds me a lot of Hollywood
Brown when you look at that
933
00:56:35,500 --> 00:56:39,000
speed and a playmaking ability
of getting him back this year.
934
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,900
So that's the big plays
throughout the were looking at.
935
00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:46,800
And also desk Fitzpatrick, is
there are other key wide
936
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,400
receiver.
He's the more of a possession
937
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,800
Target.
He's moving the sticks and have
938
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:56,600
the yard numbers that at will
had, but he's the guy that runs
939
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,100
good routes and have strong
hands.
940
00:56:58,100 --> 00:57:01,800
So he's going to be forgetful
when things break down that
941
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,500
you're looking forward to just
kind of get the ball out and
942
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,800
move the chains and keep the
drive going.
943
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:08,700
Look at the other guys coming
back.
944
00:57:08,700 --> 00:57:11,300
It's going to be Javion.
Hawkins is the other key guy on
945
00:57:11,300 --> 00:57:15,700
offense, running back, he had a
great year last year as a
946
00:57:15,700 --> 00:57:18,300
redshirt freshman second-team,
all-acc honors.
947
00:57:18,900 --> 00:57:23,300
Rushed for over 1,500 yards.
So look for him to potentially
948
00:57:24,300 --> 00:57:27,800
have a Repeat Performance or
improve upon that in 2020.
949
00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:30,600
And obviously still in the
offensive side of the ball.
950
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,700
We're looking at McHale
Cunningham and quarterback.
951
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,800
He showed last year.
These more than just an athlete
952
00:57:38,300 --> 00:57:42,000
had over 2,000 yards throwing
was really efficient with the
953
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,000
football.
When you did throw it, they
954
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,700
didn't throw the ball, son.
Obviously, he was running a lot
955
00:57:46,700 --> 00:57:52,000
and they had a good Good little
run and shoot there with em in
956
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:56,200
the in Hawkins, but when he did
throw the ball, he was throwing
957
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,000
it down the field and making
some plays.
958
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,300
So, those are the big guys on
offense that they look to
959
00:58:01,300 --> 00:58:04,500
return, they're going to be
solid on that side of the ball
960
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,700
on the defensive side of the
ball.
961
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,000
The big one that we wanted to
focus on that was a playmaker.
962
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,200
Last year is going to be CJ,
Avery weakside linebacker for
963
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,500
them.
He had 93 tackles three sacks
964
00:58:17,500 --> 00:58:20,100
and six pass breakups.
So he was another guy that we
965
00:58:20,100 --> 00:58:23,300
talked about guys.
All over the field, making plays
966
00:58:23,900 --> 00:58:27,100
making plays in different ways,
he's somebody to keep an eye on
967
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:32,600
for 2020.
Got you for Cunningham the first
968
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,600
he's my first thought when you
mention these guys and I think
969
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:39,000
about who they lost once again.
Yep he showed.
970
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,800
He's more than just a runner.
He could throw the ball but
971
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,600
again, he got McCobb X on the
left side.
972
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,300
Dude, nobody the side of the
macaws.
973
00:58:48,300 --> 00:58:50,600
Unbelievable.
And yes, he was not up.
974
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:54,000
Great polished.
You know, past Pro Set.
975
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,100
But do he got his hands on you?
Nobody's going to touch the
976
00:58:56,100 --> 00:58:59,100
quarterback.
I'm more interested to see how
977
00:58:59,100 --> 00:59:05,000
those two losses affect Hawkins
because again, your book ends,
978
00:59:05,100 --> 00:59:07,800
you think of an all-purpose back
like him, smaller shift, your
979
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,900
guy probably getting around,
which essentially means you have
980
00:59:10,900 --> 00:59:13,900
to have some good tackle play,
so essentially he can get to
981
00:59:13,900 --> 00:59:17,600
those edges.
I want to see if he can repeat
982
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:22,700
or if he has a regression this
year now Brian clearly.
983
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:31,000
Makka victims Kong who has the
unbelievable tough job of
984
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:36,200
filling those giant shoes.
So the guy looking to step in to
985
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,000
beckons role is going to be ad
honest bun and we've actually
986
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:43,400
saw him a little bit last year
when I went back and got nicked
987
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:48,100
against NC State, he stepped in
played pretty well.
988
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,100
And back to the absence I know
back then was Who's on the
989
00:59:52,100 --> 00:59:55,900
sidelines, coaching them up
there, but it looks like he
990
00:59:55,900 --> 00:59:59,000
stepped in pretty well in that
that small sample size.
991
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,100
So it'll be interesting to see
if he's able to do it for a full
992
01:00:02,100 --> 01:00:04,000
season.
Having that that role is a
993
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,700
full-time starter at left
tackle.
994
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,500
All right, well who else Braun,
who else do you feel like for
995
01:00:09,500 --> 01:00:12,800
them to potentially take that
step compete with Clemson?
996
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:17,400
Who's got to have a good season
both sides, both sides of the
997
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,300
big one on defense is going to
be Dunya.
998
01:00:21,500 --> 01:00:27,000
Bernard he's the defensive
tackle, he was actually a
999
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,100
walk-on.
Oh wow.
1000
01:00:30,500 --> 01:00:37,900
Walk on and earned a scholarship
in 2019 and had started rolling
1001
01:00:37,900 --> 01:00:41,400
a few games last year and was a
rotational player for the rest
1002
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,300
of the seasons.
He's looking to step into a
1003
01:00:43,308 --> 01:00:46,500
defensive tackle, rolled
potentially as a starter this
1004
01:00:46,500 --> 01:00:50,400
year to really Elevate them on
the defensive side of the ball.
1005
01:00:50,900 --> 01:00:55,400
And And actually going on that
same vein.
1006
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,200
We're looking at another guy
that might step in and be a big
1007
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,000
playmaker.
This year is another guy that
1008
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,800
was a walk-on that earned a
scholarship in 2019, and that's
1009
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:09,100
Michonne for the tight end.
This kid actually led the ACC
1010
01:01:09,100 --> 01:01:11,200
and touchdowns by at I did last
year.
1011
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,900
Oh man, yes, so he's looking to
potentially improve on that in
1012
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:16,800
terms of getting his yardage
numbers up, but he was a
1013
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:20,700
big-time Red Zone threat in the
ACC last year.
1014
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,500
Very nice.
Those two guys, definitely.
1015
01:01:26,700 --> 01:01:29,600
You love to hear that, you love
to hear also, that probably
1016
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,000
something Scott said or Fields
brought down there to that
1017
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,600
culture, giving walk on
scholarships and then seeing
1018
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:39,300
them perform, but the bun thing
that's going to be tough man.
1019
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:45,000
Because again again you played
offensive line, Brian.
1020
01:01:45,700 --> 01:01:48,500
When you lose somebody like a
McCobb active and you're an
1021
01:01:48,500 --> 01:01:51,900
offensive line coach What does
it make your head?
1022
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:54,900
First of all, when you have
someone like him, is it just one
1023
01:01:54,900 --> 01:01:57,500
of those like automatic?
Like, don't have to worry about
1024
01:01:57,500 --> 01:02:00,100
that side the Night vs?
Yeah.
1025
01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:03,400
That's, that's the thing.
I think we're looking at the
1026
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,200
problems that it creates losing
both.
1027
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:10,200
Bookends, it's not like in some
situations where you lose your
1028
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,400
your number one tackle and you
just kind of swap over and you
1029
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:14,100
do it.
You do it.
1030
01:02:14,100 --> 01:02:18,200
Next man up but when you lose
your two, best tackles that.
1031
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:22,500
That's a lot to fill in.
There because you're grinning in
1032
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,200
guys are both positions that
haven't seen a ton of snaps and
1033
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,800
I think that could be
problematic for them.
1034
01:02:29,700 --> 01:02:32,500
You know, they are aided by
having a quarterback that is
1035
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:36,000
athletic.
So some of that edge pressure
1036
01:02:36,300 --> 01:02:41,900
may not be as much of a problem,
but you can still going to be a
1037
01:02:41,908 --> 01:02:44,900
struggle for them.
I think at least early on, like
1038
01:02:44,900 --> 01:02:49,100
you said, I wish we had them
maybe in the first month of the
1039
01:02:49,100 --> 01:02:52,000
Season instead of Little bit
further down the road.
1040
01:02:53,100 --> 01:02:55,000
Absolutely.
All right Brian.
1041
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,200
This is the question you posed
and it's going to be our fan
1042
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:02,100
engagement question.
This week, which AC co-wrote
1043
01:03:02,100 --> 01:03:04,000
opponent makes you the most
nervous.
1044
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:11,900
Well I'm going to go.
I'm going Louisville just
1045
01:03:11,900 --> 01:03:16,300
because someone of the unknown
factor we don't play them very
1046
01:03:16,300 --> 01:03:19,600
often.
We're still learning what
1047
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:25,000
they're doing as an offense with
a new head coach and with some
1048
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,800
of these new players they have
coming in.
1049
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,800
So it's still going to be a hard
hard thing to Scout and a hard
1050
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,900
thing to prepare for from that
angle on top of the fact that
1051
01:03:33,900 --> 01:03:37,300
they're really talented on
offense, especially running the
1052
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:39,700
football and running with the
quarterback which is kind of
1053
01:03:39,700 --> 01:03:43,400
been our a Bugaboo.
So they scare me the most.
1054
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,900
I think we can definitely score
points against them that that
1055
01:03:45,900 --> 01:03:49,400
doesn't concern me.
But in the shootout it's going
1056
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:54,900
to be an interesting outcome.
So what about you buddy?
1057
01:03:56,200 --> 01:04:01,600
Hi, I'm not gonna go Louisville
almost went that way, but that
1058
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:07,700
is on Halloween day.
So that's one of those things.
1059
01:04:08,100 --> 01:04:10,000
The crowds probably going to be
pumped.
1060
01:04:10,300 --> 01:04:11,900
It's they have a good crowd
anyway.
1061
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:13,800
So there's going to be energy in
the stadium.
1062
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:18,200
So it's not going to be hard to
get up for the, the flip side of
1063
01:04:18,500 --> 01:04:22,000
which, when we got home early
because they have to find their
1064
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:26,500
offensive line to jail.
Well, by that time by Halloween,
1065
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,000
they're going to have seven to
eight games on tape.
1066
01:04:29,100 --> 01:04:30,400
So we're going to know what
they're doing.
1067
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,300
Offensive ly, so easier to
prepare for, but I'm going to go
1068
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:38,000
flip it.
Six days after that hit on a
1069
01:04:38,008 --> 01:04:41,800
Friday night, you won't talk
about probably a place that will
1070
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:47,700
have zero to no energy.
It will probably be very mundane
1071
01:04:47,900 --> 01:04:50,800
and rdz screaming his head off
because he didn't get the first
1072
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,000
call.
When his team's go screwed it up
1073
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:59,600
that Excuse me, because they're
not as talented as us and you
1074
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,400
want to just go upstairs and
squash them.
1075
01:05:01,700 --> 01:05:04,900
Now, here's my tote.
This Is My Hope for that early
1076
01:05:04,900 --> 01:05:07,500
November game.
You want to hear the sound?
1077
01:05:08,100 --> 01:05:11,800
We haven't lost everybody's hike
because we just beat Louisville
1078
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,600
at home and Halloween, and
everybody just start scooping up
1079
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:20,100
tickets to Hind and that becomes
Lane Stadium Pittsburgh style,
1080
01:05:21,100 --> 01:05:24,600
and it's 40,000.
Toki fans sitting there
1081
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:30,500
screaming and the energy comes
and it hopefully helps the kids
1082
01:05:30,500 --> 01:05:34,500
out.
So folks that is going to wrap
1083
01:05:34,500 --> 01:05:38,600

I could back the three and 50.
1092

I even started exercising, I
quit smoking Marlboro.
1093

Big guy.
I am good, buddy.
5
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:02,700
I'm good.
It is a nice Thursday night

here.
We're recording.

00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,900
Got a bruin hand.
Got a little bit of water

00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:10,100
rolling to been a long day.
Been working on.
9
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:15,800
School, work and work work and
everything else in between, but
10
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,700
it's it's coming to an end.
So how about you buddy enjoying
11
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:22,000
a nice little gin and tonic here
tonight.
12
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,400
It's been a very long day,
Brian.
13
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,800
Don because I took PTO today,
no.
14
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,700
And, you know, as you get older,
PTO becomes less and less fun.
15
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:34,900
Even get asked by somebody when
I asked him to back me up at
16
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:36,800
work, hey we'll be out there.
You're probably doing something
17
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,500
fun like no, I'm really not.
Yeah, power wash.
18
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:49,200
Seeing and sealing, my deck,
nice man all day today between
19
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,100
me and the wife.
We were taking stuff off power,
20
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:56,200
washing the deck and I'm tired.
I got to seal it so I'm gonna go
21
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,300
to Home Depot in the morning.
Get that stuff.
22
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:01,700
Hope to goodness it dried out
especially after the rain storms
23
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:06,200
tonight but we lost power for a
little bit so yeah it was pretty
24
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,300
heavy coming through the night
buddy.
25
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:10,199
Oh yeah it was.
You must have got the one a
26
00:02:10,208 --> 00:02:12,100
little later.
We got the one that Afternoon
27
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:13,700
battle stop right in the middle
of it.
28
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:17,300
And you know it's summer though.
This is what we like, nice.
29
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:20,800
So yeah, summer, we got both on.
We got the we got the like the
30
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,900
3:00.
ER, and then like right after
31
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:26,000
five the big one came through
buddy.
32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,300
Well, glad you got power back.
Now I'm assuming since we
33
00:02:28,308 --> 00:02:30,500
recorded.
Yeah yeah I was only out for
34
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:31,800
about 30 minutes.
Okay.
35
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,200
That's not bad at all.
Not bad at all.
36
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:38,900
So yeah, so folks we're just
doing Dad life stuff, working
37
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:41,400
deal with power outages, putting
kids to bed.
38
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,400
All sorts of fun stuff here, but
today what we're going to be
39
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,500
taking a look at is we are going
Behind Enemy Lines.
40
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,600
What does that mean?
We're taking a look at the four
41
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,400
ACC opponents that we are
playing on the road this year.
42
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,700
Road matchups in the conference
fellows, buddy.
43
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:04,200
And let me tell you, it's some
some very interesting and
44
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,300
intriguing matchups, probably
many of you know who were
45
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:08,600
playing, but we're going to get
into some details and some
46
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,500
things we're seeing and how we
feel about.
47
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,400
Mmm.
But before we get into all that,
48
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,600
we do have quite a list of some
few things to hit in.
49
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,500
Brian, I'm gonna throw the first
big one at you man. 6 foot 4 to
50
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:27,000
25 out of st.
Peter's prep in Jersey City, New
51
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,700
Jersey quarterback, ties.
Bullet commits how you feeling
52
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:34,100
about it.
That definitely takes a big
53
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:37,100
sting out of the DDD commitment.
I like this kid.
54
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:40,700
I watched this film.
He's got kind of similar to him
55
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:44,500
and hookers.
Style, especially both size.
56
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:45,900
And what do you think?
What to do?
57
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:48,700
As a prospect coming out of high
school?
58
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:51,500
So especially through his junior
year, at least to this point,
59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,100
he's got a pretty live arm, he
can he's athletic, he can run
60
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:59,100
around, he's good at making
throws on the Run, needs to
61
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:03,100
clean up his mechanics a little
bit and I think that's going to
62
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:05,200
be the big thing.
But, you know, look at our
63
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,200
quarterback room.
He's got some time to do that.
64
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,200
So there's nothing really
negative about this.
65
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,500
Pick up.
No, not at all into Point like
66
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:14,800
you given you hit me up and you
talked about all the stuff you
67
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,200
like.
But you mentioned the mechanics,
68
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:18,600
they mean you kind of had this
conversation.
69
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Well you got hinted this year
and next year you still got
70
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Quincy he'd still have some
eligibility left.
71
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,800
Some really 2023 is the
earliest, the guy could be on
72
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,800
the field.
So he's got potentially multiple
73
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,700
years in Blacksburg to clean
those mechanics up.
74
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:41,800
So yeah, I love the size because
you know, you can talk About
75
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,000
mechanics and some of the stuff
he does good.
76
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,200
But dude to be a High School,
junior, six-foot-four your 225,
77
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,800
they don't make many of those.
They, you know, you can look at
78
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,300
Demetrius Davis and he is an
unbelievable Talent, Demetrius,
79
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,700
and, father love than about 195
pounds.
80
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,400
He's what you typically seeing
and any High School level, but
81
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,300
this kid is kind of like, whoa,
he could walk in through a group
82
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:08,800
of grown, man, and you be like,
let's see like 30.
83
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:15,300
Oh my gosh, the other thing, One
the that I cannot think of the
84
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:16,500
league.
It's been mentioned one of the
85
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,700
big boys up in New Jersey as a
junior.
86
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:20,700
LED that team to the State
title.
87
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,800
Yeah, that's a big thing because
everyone was talking about, you
88
00:05:23,808 --> 00:05:26,500
know, the meteors Davis having
that winning pedigree.
89
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:30,100
So nice, kind of, if we're going
to have to fill in that that
90
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:32,300
void that was created by Him, be
committing, it's nice to have
91
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:35,600
another guy that has that proven
level of playing, not only
92
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,500
big-time High School football,
but being able to win a state
93
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:41,200
championship doing it,
absolutely man.
94
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:47,200
And And I really like to pick up
to its it helps you know, helps
95
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,700
kind of quarterback now asset.
We've got it locked in, we can
96
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:54,300
go put the resources elsewhere
and we did put the resources
97
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:58,900
elsewhere.
Brian VA to VT kalai Lawson out
98
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:05,200
of the valley, Stephen City, the
6 foot 4 2005, athlete tell me
99
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,100
what you saw on him.
I know some of his takes a
100
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:09,600
little old because he was
injured last year, but what do
101
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,400
you see from this again?
Except for 205 pounds and he's a
102
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,900
junior.
Yeah, let's read it out here.
103
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:20,000
We're talking about Out from a
just a raw perspective.
104
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,700
He's got the similar type of
traits and build that Tremaine
105
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:28,400
Edmunds had all.
Don't don't say this game.
106
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:32,400
We're talking about, I'm not
saying that we're going to get
107
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,700
to that level, but in terms of
build, and in terms of athletic
108
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:40,200
traits, he could get there.
And I mean, right now he's his
109
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,200
ranking on 24/7 and in general
is lowered as you stated because
110
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,900
of that, those injuries that
they've been dealing, with this
111
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,600
guy's probably going to see his
his stock climb a lot this year,
112
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,800
especially if he puts that are
really productive year.
113
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:59,200
So look for that to work in our
favor because right now some of
114
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,600
these Rankings are pulling, are
particularly Lawson's and
115
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,400
Belichick.
The the kid from Germany, those
116
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,000
two rankings are pulling down
our class average a little bit
117
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,800
but I think his is going to go
up a good amount.
118
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,300
I don't think we're going to see
any change much in the on the
119
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:21,300
German kids ranking but look for
him to climb a little bit and
120
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:22,700
that's going to help our overall
ranking.
121
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:26,800
So this kid's got really good
measurables and just watching
122
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,500
him play, he's an athlete to be
as big.
123
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,500
He is, I'll say this man and I'm
glad you mentioned it because a
124
00:07:34,508 --> 00:07:37,400
lot of people have mentioned him
on edge and mentioned him on
125
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,000
edge because of that 64, because
of that frame.
126
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:43,600
But I'm with you.
I see a kid, he played, I think
127
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,700
he played the three in
basketball.
128
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,100
He done some track and field
like the long jump.
129
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:52,200
I believe this this guy and you
talked about looking at Tremaine
130
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,700
I think Tremaine was six foot
four, I think 220 coming up.
131
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:59,700
So slightly bigger already had
the pounds on him, but you No,
132
00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:03,100
the frames there and you see
some of those workouts I'm with
133
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:04,000
you.
I think me and you're on the
134
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,400
same page.
Don't put him on the edge.
135
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,000
Let him play linebacker because
that's where you're going to get
136
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000
your most bang for your buck.
You've already got some guys at
137
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,300
defensive.
End coming in some young guys.
138
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:19,400
Make this the next Tremaine make
this your next first round.
139
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:25,300
Talented linebacker.
So yeah so Brian so we've got
140
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:29,400
one from the r-va right?
Yes yes.
141
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,100
And we got one from over in the
valley, down the mountains.
142
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:35,200
I'm Stephen city.
Right, there we go.
143
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,100
We got one way up in Northern
Virginia, right in the engine.
144
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:42,500
So we take a drive down 95 from
a mr.
145
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:45,700
Strohman house, and we pull up
in the North Stafford football
146
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:51,700
power there and we get another
one cornerback Sean Asbury.
147
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:55,100
The second out of North
Staffordshire hate kind of
148
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:58,300
similar to Lawson got injured
last year during the season and
149
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:01,300
that ranking.
It's kind of hurting us but you
150
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:03,800
look at some of this tape.
I know you did Brian.
151
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,300
He an 84.
Now this guy's going to be
152
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,900
someone that I think can come in
and he's going to kind of be the
153
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:12,800
natural successor, I think maybe
two chimoree Connor.
154
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,100
He's going to be that whip
nickel type player, but he in a
155
00:09:17,108 --> 00:09:19,900
pinch, you can play outside.
So I think that's the that's the
156
00:09:19,908 --> 00:09:21,200
big thing.
Look with this guy.
157
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,500
And again, we're talking about
Trends, we're talking about
158
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:26,600
these versatile players, you
know, you look at Lawson.
159
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,500
That's a guy that I think is
going to project his As a as a
160
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:34,200
backer but could put his hand in
the dirt Asbury.
161
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,700
A guy that can play the nickel
but also probably in a pinch
162
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,400
slip outside.
So when you're looking at the
163
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,500
depth that we're trying to build
here we're looking at those
164
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:47,400
versatile players, I really like
what we're doing here and Asbury
165
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,200
I think as we've said is going
to be a guy that's going to see
166
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,300
his rankings go up as he gets a
productive senior year and there
167
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:59,300
hopefully Absolutely, I know
you're you mentioned Nikolai.
168
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:03,600
No, I think he's played Safety.
Kind of letting his athleticism
169
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,100
and letting his ball hawk in
nature.
170
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:08,400
Take advantage of in the high
school level, which is awesome
171
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,200
to see.
But I'm really hoping they move
172
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,700
them outside, because right now,
we don't have one of those guys
173
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,300
sort of the depths of little
little, little bit shaky there.
174
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,900
The DJ just we're not even going
to mention now.
175
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:34,000
That just put on this program.
Hold on, Brian.
176
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:41,500
I'm taking this step because
that angered me, so much stuff
177
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:46,700
about grilling him and him
knocking the video breaks down
178
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:51,600
that of the ballpark and I love
it, but Brawn, there's our
179
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,100
buddy, Jason long song says I
almost gave up drinking Three
180
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:02,500
commits in like ten days it's
like we are on fire and on the
181
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:08,800
hold Wednesday happened and he
is not our 24/7, highest-rated
182
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,700
guy, but our composite
highest-rated guy.
183
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:14,800
Got me.
And you both kind of in love
184
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:23,100
with six foot three. 315 tyus at
Arkansas, D commits, you know,
185
00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:28,400
you told me.
Brian tried to soften the blow,
186
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:33,100
right?
You said it even even after DDD
187
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:34,700
committed.
He's like I don't I don't like
188
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:37,700
to ask Martin.
He's like I feel like he sort of
189
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:40,500
got his hand on the door you
told me that.
190
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:44,900
Yeah so so when Dedede committed
I was like I think we're looking
191
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:47,800
at Neville probably having one
foot out the door and ties
192
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,200
Martin probably has his hand on
the door now if we're going to
193
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,300
use some metaphors here so that
was that was kind of what I saw
194
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,700
ultimately both of them.
I was hoping that the
195
00:11:57,700 --> 00:12:02,500
combination of T and T would be
enough to keep keep barging in
196
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:05,300
the boat where as Neville didn't
have.
197
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,800
I think that's somewhat type of
relationship with the staff that
198
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,300
Martin may had even though, you
know, both of those guys haven't
199
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:17,700
had any sort of official visit
at Virginia Tech yet, but you
200
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:20,600
know, you took a turn and, you
know, it's disappointing because
201
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:24,400
we're looking situations where,
you know, the writing is on the
202
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,900
wall.
But at the same time, these guys
203
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:29,000
got in for A reason we need to
be better about keeping them
204
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:33,100
committed, despite some of the
things that are going on outside
205
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:38,200
that that we can't control.
Yeah, it's 100% true man.
206
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,700
I think the staff and now that
this happened multiple times.
207
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:44,200
Again, if you're recruiting for
one guy, he's going to be your
208
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,600
linchpin.
You can't recruit like that.
209
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:48,200
I think.
Hopefully, what happens is we
210
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:53,100
see some self-reflection on on
this now.
211
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,400
Another type of hashtags.
There you go.
212
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Don't hype up hash Eggs, figure
out what the kid really wants to
213
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:05,100
commit to, you know, sometimes
the hype gets going, there's 17
214
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:07,200
year old 18 year, old kids hide
can happen.
215
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,200
They can commit and then to
three months later.
216
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:12,900
Yeah, so yeah.
Um, but I'm just gonna run down,
217
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:16,300
but I'm sure you saw it.
Although highest decommitted
218
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:20,100
Todd leak Williams in his top
six, like the way we look on
219
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:25,500
that because that's another big
guy with some real good skill
220
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:28,700
and again.
Then like Taya style leak would
221
00:13:28,700 --> 00:13:30,700
probably come in day one and
start playing.
222
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:33,600
So true that we just got, we
just got a crystal ball thrown
223
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:39,600
in their entire week, so that's
trending in our Direction.
224
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,100
Obviously, sometimes crystal
balls, you can take them for
225
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:45,600
what they're worth if it's not
close to a kid committing.
226
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:48,800
So it's definitely taken with a
grain of salt.
227
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,100
But it wasn't someone that is
the Hokey Insider so that
228
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:56,900
definitely, you know, gives a
little I think a little No more
229
00:13:56,900 --> 00:14:00,400
Credence than than, what a
typical crystal ball ranking
230
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,000
would would give their so we
shall see, but I feel like we're
231
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,600
at least in good in good
position.
232
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,900
A lot of its going to depend on
how serious some of the the
233
00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:15,400
bigger dogs in this race that
are in that top, six are about
234
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,400
getting him to take.
And obviously, the relationship
235
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,100
that he has with the coaching
staff, overall and tap and tear
236
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:27,500
linked in particular. 100% man
hundred percent on that.
237
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,300
I ate Braun sports are finally
coming back, brother.
238
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:34,700
Last part has been going.
We've got some good golf
239
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:37,000
tournaments baseball's.
Finally.
240
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,700
Agreed, let's not baseball
figured something out.
241
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,600
I swear, man, that was such a
frustrating thing to watch and
242
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,900
follow man.
Oh, it's so much was it was such
243
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:49,700
a pain in the ass because, you
know, it's nothing.
244
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:54,000
It's posturing and you know,
whose side do you want to fall
245
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,500
on?
Let's just not get into that but
246
00:14:57,500 --> 00:14:59,700
it's coming back and about the
time.
247
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:02,400
It comes back in about a month
from now.
248
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:06,600
The NBA will Starry starting up.
The NHL will be starting back
249
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,700
up.
Whoa, buddy.
250
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:13,700
Um, go ahead be a week or two in
the camp we could to into Camp
251
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,000
college.
Football camp will be getting
252
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,800
kicked off the two-week, free
Camp.
253
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,800
So here's what I'm going to say.
Brian, all you guys who are
254
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,100
married have girlfriends that.
Listen.
255
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:28,300
To us, honey.
Do list.
256
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,000
Anything get them done in the
next four weeks.
257
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:36,400
Because when this thing starts
up, its going to be a rocket
258
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,100
ship, and it's going to be
insane to a honey-do list, get
259
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:43,100
your deck finished, all these
things that your wife wants you
260
00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:47,600
to do them now or you're going
to be the guy when it's like NBA

262
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:55,200
tournament would tiger and Phil
on holy crap.
263
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,200
Wait a second, the NHL playoffs
are on.
264
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,600
Oh my God, and My favorite
baseball team is playing, what
265
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,100
am I supposed to do?
You're gonna be stuck in the
266
00:16:02,108 --> 00:16:03,500
yard if you don't get that stuff
done.
267
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:07,800
Now you know you know a lot of
this stuff is coming through.
268
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,700
You need to get it done by the
end of July.
269
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,500
Yeah my anniversary is July 24
so get it done by my
270
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:17,600
anniversary.
Brian's going to sacrifice on
271
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,300
the sword for those first open
and days, my anniversary is not
272
00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:25,600
far behind yours and early.
Part of August, and the weekend
273
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,000
of our anniversary, we actually
have a wedding to go to Nice.
274
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:35,600
So it just kind of work out but
don't have stuff like that on
275
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,700
the horizon.
Get your stuff done now.
276
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:41,500
All right, Brian.
Let's let's, let's put on some
277
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:44,800
camo, you don't black face
paint.
278
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:47,200
Mark it up.
Like, we're getting into the
279
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,300
woods here because we are going
Behind Enemy Lines today and
280
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:58,200
dropped off into the shit.
You say my friend, but we're
281
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,600
ready to go.
Go in life Braun lets me and you
282
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,800
get in the car, let's get down
95.
283
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,599
Let's try about two and a half
hours.
284
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,700
Let's Get on 40, kick a little
bit east and who get to Durham
285
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,700
and let's start in Chapel Hill
with the University of North
286
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,800
Carolina, Tar Heels and Brawn.
I take a look that returning
287
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,700
some folks, man, 17 total
starters, returning 10 on
288
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:29,000
offense.
Seven on defense and they didn't
289
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,300
lose that much.
But I know there's a couple guys
290
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:35,200
you saw that you kind of want to
hit on about who they lost.
291
00:17:35,300 --> 00:17:36,600
Yes.
The big one offense.
292
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,700
I mean you mentioned the 10
returning starters the one
293
00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:40,900
that's not is a big one and
that's Charlie.
294
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:44,500
Heck offensive tackle.
Got drafted by Houston.
295
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,900
He's going to be the one to
watch because he's the guy that
296
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:51,200
was the primary protector for
Sam.
297
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,400
How long those passing downs.
And with this type of offense,
298
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,800
three swings, the ball.
Around a lot that's going to be
299
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,800
something to watch and see if
they're able to do something to
300
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,900
plug in that spot for for 2020.
So that's going to be the big
301
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:05,700
little office.
We've got a couple of Defense.
302
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:10,900
I want to highlight Jason
strobridge the defensive, tackle
303
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:17,200
was drafted by the Dolphins.
He was 13 male CC in 2019, going
304
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,000
to be hard to replace.
That production here.
305
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,400
Forty five, tackles and 4 sacks.
And then we also had miles Dorn.
306
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,800
And set safety, they all eat.
CC, honorable mention and he had
307
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,700
83 tackles in 2019, which was
third on the team.
308
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,800
So, those are the big three key
departures that we're going to
309
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:37,400
get that UNC is going to need to
replace the biggest would be
310
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,900
Charlie.
Heck being the only departing
311
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:42,700
guy on offense whatever to keep
position.
312
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,200
Yeah, that's big because you're
talking about protecting house
313
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,800
Blindside.
I mean that was his first year
314
00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:52,400
and I tell you you have somebody
out there that's getting NFL
315
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,000
looks and gets drafted in the
NFL as a quarter.
316
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,300
You don't think about getting
smashed from The Blind Side.
317
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,000
But here's the piece I say,
Brian at defense.
318
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,900
Wasn't that good in from what
you're giving us here?
319
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:08,000
Is their kind of losing two
leaders and you can say all you
320
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:08,900
want.
Yeah.
321
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:11,900
But you know Talent leadership
still very important on the
322
00:19:11,908 --> 00:19:15,300
defensive side of the ball they
weren't that good last year.
323
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,900
Losing two guys, one gets
drafted one and honorable
324
00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:21,300
mention ACC.
I'm very interested to see if
325
00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:24,400
they will rebound.
But Brian I'll say this man.
326
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,700
They got some Talent.
We take a look at the 24/7
327
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:32,500
recruiting class rankings 2017.
There were Twenty Ninth, twenty
328
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:35,500
eighteen, they were 20th, 2019.
They were 30th.
329
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,500
So there is some Talent, still
there, you know, still on the,
330
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:44,300
on the roster.
And who?
331
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:47,200
Who's your key?
Who your key guys?
332
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,500
I'm no one's going to be the
obvious couples will be.
333
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:53,000
Obviously, it's kind of some
guys that you feel if North
334
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,500
Carolina's Gonna Stand from,
They were seven and six.
335
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:58,900
They weren't eight, nine, ten
win team.
336
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:03,900
They were a seven and sixteen
and literally every game came
337
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:06,900
down to the razor thin margin.
Yeah.
338
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,700
And that's what we're looking
at.
339
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:12,000
And I think it's going to start
with, you know, can they carry
340
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,400
that offensive momentum that
they had in 2019 over into 2020?
341
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,200
That's going to start with Sam.
How freshman All-American
342
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:24,100
quarterback, ACC Rookie of the
Year, third team, all-acc stats
343
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:29,200
out the roof.
For a freshman 3641 yards and 38
344
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,300
touchdowns.
Can he take the next step,
345
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:35,200
whatever that looks like, you
know, compared to those numbers
346
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:39,200
and be more consistent.
I think the consistency is going
347
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,900
to be the thing because I think
you get a couple games we're in.
348
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:48,100
Crunch time, he wasn't always
the same player that he was, you
349
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:51,200
know, throughout the game.
So I think we saw that, you
350
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,900
know, in Even in our game once
hooker went down and keep Eagles
351
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:56,800
in.
Are you know that was the game
352
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,800
that probably could have went
the other way very easily and we
353
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,600
were able to fight that one off
and win it.
354
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,300
It should have went the other
way because not only did h.h. go
355
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:11,700
down, Willis made this huge
screw-up and Farley was down in
356
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:14,900
the second half of that game.
So they couldn't be this without
357
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:18,100
starting quarterback and
potentially actually not
358
00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:20,300
potentially.
One of the highest-rated Corners
359
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:22,700
in the country, very interesting
on that.
360
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:28,300
But Brian, I'm gonna go with
some you said here, I mean, it's
361
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:31,100
almost like a fantasy football.
I'm looking at his stats here.
362
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:36,600
Regression has to happen to say,
I mean, if he goes above thirty
363
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,600
eight touchdowns, thirty-six
hundred yards this year, he's
364
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,400
not playing for them.
After next season, he will be in
365
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,200
the NFL, there's won't even be a
question, but he's definitely
366
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,500
got some good targets.
He's got the, you got some good
367
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:50,800
Target?
So that, I mean, the big one
368
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,000
obviously is going to be the Ami
Brown.
369
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,100
He was 30 All ACC he led the
team in touchdowns at the wide
370
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:02,100
receiver position with 12 and he
was over a thousand yards
371
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:04,500
receiving.
So that's the big one.
372
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:09,800
The other one that we know a lot
more about unfortunately is Das
373
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:15,600
Newsome. 757 products heavily
recruited by the Hokies, but,
374
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:20,000
you know, he's down there and in
Chapel Hill, he was second-team,
375
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,900
all-acc little bit lower on the
touchdown in yards, ranking
376
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:25,200
then.
Brown.
377
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,100
He had thousand 18 and 10
touchdowns but that kids a
378
00:22:29,108 --> 00:22:31,800
playmaker, he makes plays all
over the field and that's a
379
00:22:31,808 --> 00:22:35,800
dynamic one-two punch as you're
going to see in the ACC.
380
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,800
Absolutely.
And we know the dads new
381
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:44,200
something 757 dad went to Tech,
I can't remember is beyond
382
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,600
brother or cousin, the lineage
was there.
383
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,800
It was.
This is our guy, we miss on him
384
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:53,700
Tommy Brown.
Same way out of Charlotte.
385
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,400
Um, you know, he's a A four-star
coming out.
386
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,600
And literally, when he came down
to decision time, it was between
387
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,200
us and Carolina.
And he went to Carolina.
388
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:06,900
So, you know, you look at Brown,
you talk about those 12
389
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:09,600
touchdowns.
The guys are 62 guy, he's a big
390
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,000
body guy.
So makes a lot of sense but on
391
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,100
the other side of the ball run.
So the big one on the other side
392
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:18,100
of the bar, we're going to talk
about its chest to rot.
393
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,700
Linebacker last season, he was
first team all-acc and runner-up
394
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:28,100
ACC defensive player of the year
before spray.
395
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:29,600
It last year.
He was a quarterback.
396
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:35,700
Yes he was.
So talk about going from being a
397
00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:42,000
quarterback on on the depth
chart to being a cc runner-up
398
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,200
for for defensive player of the
year, in less than a calendar.
399
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,500
Year is a pretty impressive feat
there.
400
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:52,700
Sure, I'll be one second in the
ACC and tackles with 115.
401
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,000
So I mean this guy can make
plays all over the field.
402
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,800
He's Dynamic probably other than
Rook is the only other
403
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,800
linebacker that I would say you
know, is going to give him a run
404
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,500
in terms of total tackles this
year.
405
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:10,200
So look for him to make some
noise on that defense and be
406
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,000
that leader.
That's going to step up with
407
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,400
some of the departing leaders
that are that are now.
408
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,400
He's either in the NFL or lost
to graduation.
409
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,700
Are you give that kid all the
credit in the world was actually
410
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:24,500
pretty good, ready quarterback
coming out and he makes that
411
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:30,100
switch in and be essentially
steps, you know, not only in
412
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:34,700
into a solid role but excels at
it shows you he's a football
413
00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:38,200
player, not just a specific
quarterback wide receiver.
414
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:45,500
One of you want to say and I
again he they CC co-defensive
415
00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:48,100
player of the year last year
defensive player of the year and
416
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:50,100
they still work.
Terrible on defense.
417
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:53,600
Yeah, and again he's a
linebacker.
418
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:56,900
All right, you mentioned the guy
that's getting drafted just
419
00:24:56,900 --> 00:25:00,700
before is he going to be able to
Excel without somebody up front?
420
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:08,000
Making that kind of Havoc like
strobridge did I'm very a lot of
421
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,500
people are very bullish on North
Carolina right now.
422
00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:16,800
Brian I'm bear because they had
all the elements last year
423
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,700
because they it was soon.
Under to Louisville, who will
424
00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:23,800
discuss later.
They were a bad team, they quit
425
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,200
on their coach, it doesn't take
much if a guy can come in and
426
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,400
motivate good players to have a
turnaround, it really doesn't.
427
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:37,200
But um, how about this Brian?
I'm talking bearish, I'm getting
428
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,400
ahead of myself here, who some
guys that maybe have been behind
429
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,500
the curtain that have to emerge
if they're going to improve upon
430
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:51,800
their seven and six record.
So if we're talking What about
431
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,800
some of the reason why people
are jumping on this UNC
432
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,400
bandwagon part of this got to do
with their 20s and what they
433
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,800
wanted done.
So far the 21 class but with the
434
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,500
20 class which method number
one, ranked defensive player
435
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:11,900
Desmond Evans, North Korea on a
product.
436
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:14,800
They're looking for him to have
an instant impact.
437
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,300
Your one on, he's going to be a
guy that can that that's up
438
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:20,500
front.
That's going to be able to make
439
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:21,600
some plays.
For them.
440
00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:24,500
So that's going to be step one
for them.
441
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:27,000
If he can come in and be an
incident that player that's
442
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,700
going to shore up some of the
problems they have on the long
443
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:33,800
that they're their defensive
front talking about some other
444
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,900
guys.
Let's look at camera on Kelly
445
00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:42,300
who we also know a little bit
about Oh yes, camera on Kelly.
446
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,200
Let's see, committed to text
decommitted recommence to Auburn
447
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:49,200
these Auburn after the spring to
recommit to North Carolina.
448
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,800
Yeah, yeah.
It's a fun time, huh?
449
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,000
But he did play in five games
last year and gotten to the
450
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,100
point where he was in the
starting role before he went
451
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:01,400
down with an injury.
So he's going to look to step
452
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,000
into a key role at safety for
them 2020.
453
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:08,900
And then we've got good ol
stormed.
454
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,700
Duchess either, the best of the
worst cornerback name in
455
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:17,200
history.
He came on late in the season.
456
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,500
He posted non-starch last year,
cornerback started a couple
457
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:24,800
games I say people I think, but
finished off at quarterback he's
458
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,900
looking a lockdown that position
this year.
459
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:30,000
That's going to be important for
them to stop the passing game.
460
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,800
Like I said, I think they're
setting the linebacker position
461
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:36,100
but they've got some question
marks in the in the secondary.
462
00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:39,200
And they got some question marks
up front, whether they can You
463
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,900
know replace trowbridge's
production of defensive tackle
464
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:45,900
and whether it has been Evans
can come in and be an instant
465
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:49,300
impact player.
Yeah, storm.
466
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:54,600
Ducks going to me be a real key
and not only because he's a
467
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,700
quarterback but more or less,
it's kendre blast each Corners
468
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:02,100
how to play the game of
football, you can give this
469
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:05,900
first year and say, Hey, you
know, we're we're going to give
470
00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:11,200
him a pass because for the
simple fact, this was his first
471
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:17,600
year ever coaching.
We get it that that's not too
472
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,000
crazy on the other kid.
Yep, you're going from high
473
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,700
school to college first year.
He's got a good bill, 66 to 45.
474
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,600
I've been trying to research it
here.
475
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:36,200
I'm not sure what Lee County is.
As far as play goes.
476
00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:40,400
I was just like a to a or a one,
a school where he was the
477
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,100
biggest kid out there, he's
going to look Diamond it Because
478
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:48,300
you should, that's something
very interesting.
479
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:52,100
I'd like to know, we should
probably dial in Robbie Compton
480
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:53,400
right now.
He'd probably be able to tell us
481
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,600
in three seconds.
What Lee County is it?
482
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,700
Is it essentially in one of
those higher higher leagues
483
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:05,300
where it's like, oh, you're
playing studs are like do a, if
484
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:08,100
he ain't dominating at that
level then there's a lot of
485
00:29:08,100 --> 00:29:10,400
problems.
So there we go.
486
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,100
All right, Brian, do you wanna
get back in the car?
487
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,500
Let's get back in the car, man.
Worried in, let's get on 40.
488
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:19,500
Let's say that eight miles up
the road.
489
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,900
Let's head down to Duke.
The Blue Devils.
490
00:29:24,500 --> 00:29:27,100
But man, that was a tough game
to watch last year.
491
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:44,700
I don't even take another sip.
Yeah, since 9:00 defense.
492
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:47,600
So, with some experience coming
back.
493
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,500
As much as I hate.
He put it on this last year,
494
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:52,500
love.
Cutting those out of coach.
495
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,500
But Brian they obviously they've
lost a few starters, what
496
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,600
where's there?
Some of the key, guys?
497
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:06,100
They lost that that might might
slow them down from getting back
498
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:09,900
into a Bowl this year.
So I mean, if you watch Duke
499
00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:13,500
every, you know that, you know,
they're sound all around.
500
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:17,400
But they generally have a pretty
good front seven on defense and
501
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,900
that's what they're losing a
couple key components of here,
502
00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:26,100
defensive tackle.
Khaled GE, Sarah Nord, he was
503
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:29,000
probably their best interior
player last year.
504
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,700
They've lost him also trade,
hornbuckle defensive in had 34
505
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:37,400
tackles and 4 sacks last year.
They rotate a lot of guys.
506
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,900
So a lot of guys, get some time
on that defense of wide.
507
00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:43,900
But he was kind of the big
playmaker in terms of getting a
508
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,100
lot of snaps but also making
some plays.
509
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:50,400
And Kobe Kwanzaa, who's the
linebacker?
510
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,400
He was the emotional leader on
the field for them.
511
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:55,800
That that's definitely a big
presence that's going to be
512
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,300
missed for them.
He was all ACC 1305, tackles,
513
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:04,300
including 13 against us and that
god-awful game we played against
514
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:07,100
them.
And he was also fourth in the
515
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:10,400
ACC, four tackles per game.
So he's a playmaker, he's a guy
516
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,600
who can get out there and get it
done and they're gonna
517
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,300
definitely miss him this year.
Yeah, and you defense was pretty
518
00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:19,500
good last year, especially if on
that front seven, as you
519
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:22,000
mentioned, it's something
they're always good at again.
520
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,000
David cutcliffe, man.
What can, what can you say about
521
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,100
the guy?
But it's do, the expectations
522
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:31,900
are low.
They kind of could sneak up on
523
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:36,700
you and Ron, the recruiting,
it's never been out of this
524
00:31:36,700 --> 00:31:40,000
world.
I mean, the 2017 class was 47.
525
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:45,500
20 1863, 20, 1949, but cut
tried.
526
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,000
He tries to find football
players.
527
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,600
He tries to find fits But who's
coming back to who could make
528
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,800
the think there are 47 or 48 in
a 4.7 who can put them to 67
529
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,900
wins and get them back into a
bowl.
530
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:04,600
Who are you?
Feeling is some of their key
531
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:08,900
returning starters.
So returning guys I mean they
532
00:32:08,900 --> 00:32:12,800
don't really have a whole lot of
what you call big-name guys with
533
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,000
the guys, I want to focus on.
We got in particular Chris rumph
534
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,400
the second Junior defensive end,
he's getting a lot.
535
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:25,800
Of Pro Football Focus Buzz based
on how he graded out across the
536
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,900
board last year.
He had six and a half sacks,
537
00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:31,600
even though he wasn't what you
would call, a starting defensive
538
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,700
end for the Blue Devils but he
was a guy that was very much a
539
00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:37,600
specialist when it came to pass
rushing.
540
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,200
But he was all well enough.
All around were when he graded
541
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,000
out, he graded out very high.
Only started one game so we'll
542
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,500
see if he can be the guy that
can impact every down and not
543
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:52,400
just you.
Those specialty type situations
544
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:58,300
that he played a lot last year.
Other guy want to look at is
545
00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:02,000
Noah gray, so he's been he's a
tight end.
546
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,900
He was a team leader both on and
off the field for them last
547
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:07,800
year.
Caught 51 Falls had three
548
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:12,200
touchdowns almost say it again.
Two of them were against
549
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,600
Virginia Tech, so it seemed like
all the key players on the Duke
550
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,100
Squad had their best game
against us last year.
551
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:24,600
So, You know, it is what it is
at this point but so no grades.
552
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,100
Another got to look at to maybe
take another step forward.
553
00:33:28,100 --> 00:33:32,400
Coming to a key role in that
offense as they look to replace
554
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,100
some key components.
Despite returning a decent
555
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,400
amount of on that side of the
ball.
556
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,100
They were also looking at Deon
Jackson.
557
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,600
He's a, he's running back.
He's going to be the key key
558
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,200
running back to watch for them
this year.
559
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,300
He had six foot 141 yards and
six touchdowns in 2019.
560
00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:53,000
This is going to look to improve
upon that and become more of a
561
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,200
consistent playmaker for them,
but they probably will employ
562
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,500
some level of platoon system at
running back.
563
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:02,900
Like, Most teens are doing now,
but he's going to be the rb1, a,
564
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:08,100
at least I got you, you know,
offensively, I you never really
565
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,800
kind of don't worry about
Sutcliffe because cutcliffe will
566
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,800
find a wrinkles every year a
little different things to do.
567
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:19,000
I can remember watching the
Alabama game last year with with
568
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,800
Quentin Harris and Corey comes
out looking like Georgia Tech
569
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,900
and for a quarter and a half.
He had Alabama, completely
570
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:30,100
befuddled.
Now eventually Talent wins but I
571
00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:33,800
talked about a few minutes ago
cut they're never going to have
572
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,000
the highest ranking.
Chris rumph is one of those guys
573
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,400
man.
I mean he was a three-star, an
574
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,199
82 grade coming out of Florida
and now he's probably on the
575
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:49,400
verge of getting drafted next
year and it's just one of those
576
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,199
things that's like How does this
happen?
577
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:53,600
It's like David cutcliffe knows
football.
578
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:58,900
Now, Brian you mentioned, No
Gray mentioned GI and Jackson.
579
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:04,300
One of the big stories this year
for Juke that kind of made.
580
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:07,400
It did make it to a national
level but for college football
581
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,500
fans like ourselves, definitely
made it.
582
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,800
Cut went down to Clemson and he
found him something.
583
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:19,500
Yeah.
So you know, other, some of
584
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:22,000
those other key departures we
talked about earlier, the big
585
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,100
one is obviously Quinn.
Harris starting quarterback last
586
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:29,400
year, so they said, we need to
find something here.
587
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:35,200
So what they do, they got chase
price, so he was backing up.
588
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:39,600
Trevor, Lawrence, looks like a
guy that's definitely capable of
589
00:35:39,700 --> 00:35:43,400
stepping in and being a day.
One starter for them.
590
00:35:43,500 --> 00:35:46,300
Obviously he's going to have
some competition from from the
591
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:47,800
other guy.
On the depth chart there.
592
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,100
But looks to step in and make
his name known right away.
593
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,900
Not a whole lot of stats on and
other than garbage time, but the
594
00:35:56,900 --> 00:36:00,700
one key game he did play in was
he led a comeback against
595
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:04,900
Syracuse in 2018, when when
Lawrence went down with the rich
596
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:08,700
injury and that was right after
Brian he put his name out there
597
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:14,200
to transfer so it was a pretty
big situation there that this
598
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,800
guy pretty relative unknown
stepped in and Got them a win in
599
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,100
conference play there so that's
definitely able to get the job
600
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:25,000
done.
And this is something just kind
601
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,200
of Little off-topic Brian.
But you know, when case price
602
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,300
came out, he was essentially, he
was like an eighty eighty-eight
603
00:36:33,300 --> 00:36:36,700
eighty-nine type rated guy.
So right on the verge of being
604
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:40,600
that forced our top 20
quarterback and he commits to
605
00:36:40,607 --> 00:36:43,800
Clemson who had already had at
that point in time.
606
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,800
The number two rated
quarterback.
607
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,600
So it's one of those things
people we talked about
608
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,900
recruiting, sometimes it's like,
dude, why are you going there?
609
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:56,600
And then the next year, they get
Trevor and the guy spends time
610
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,600
on the bench, thankfully for
him, there's transfer portals
611
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,600
and there's ways to get out
where you can share your
612
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,000
talents.
So I'm very interested to see
613
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:10,500
Chase Bryce, but Brian, you
wasn't great offense early last
614
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:14,600
year they put it on us but they
weren't typical cut put thing
615
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:18,900
but They might have some other
guys helping out, who do you?
616
00:37:18,900 --> 00:37:21,200
See helping potentially out on
that offense.
617
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:26,200
So the big ones going to be
Jalan Calhoun, he had a good
618
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:32,000
true freshman campaign at wide
receiver in 2019 was kind of a
619
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,200
guy that started to come on late
as the season went on despite
620
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,800
them having problems with being
competitive in the ACC play
621
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,700
other than when they played us
but he's going to be looked on
622
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:50,200
as as the key wide receiver for
them in 2020 to step up
623
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,900
especially with breaking in a
new starting quarterback.
624
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:57,300
Quarterback.
And in that same vein we're
625
00:37:57,300 --> 00:38:02,300
looking at a guy like Jacob monk
who's going to be the key on
626
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:05,600
that offensive line for the,
he's gonna be the linchpin to
627
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,000
kind of hold everything together
and is going to have to count it
628
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,900
on Big Time this season again.
We're breaking in a new starting
629
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:16,900
quarterback got to protect the
the franchise as it were, so
630
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,500
he's going to be leaned on
heavily.
631
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,100
Nice.
All right.
632
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:25,300
Um, do did have some coaching
changes in the offseason, the
633
00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:28,300
offensive line, coach Jim
Bridge, he resigned his position
634
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,600
and it's taken over by Greg.
Fry fries actually coming up
635
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,900
from Florida, where he was an
offensive analyst in 2019.
636
00:38:36,500 --> 00:38:41,000
His last coaching role was in
2018 at FSU, as the Orion coach
637
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:45,300
Run game coordinator.
We've discussed before FS,
638
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:48,300
you've had some offensive line
struggles but you go back to
639
00:38:48,308 --> 00:38:50,700
2017.
I mean he was at Michigan where
640
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:54,100
he was there tackle and tight
end Coach also their run game
641
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:57,200
coordinator.
Now one of the key losses and
642
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,300
it's very interesting when you
see a guy get this sort of
643
00:38:59,300 --> 00:39:02,900
promotion, Derrick Jones was the
defensive back coach free for
644
00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:05,300
Duke last year.
He went to Texas Tech.
645
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,200
He's now a co-defensive
coordinator.
646
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:10,600
He's been replaced by Chris
Hampton who comes from Tulane.
647
00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:15,900
This is his first power 5,
coaching gig Hampton did play
648
00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:19,100
collegiately at South Carolina
and bring them around back up.
649
00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:21,600
We missed UNC.
Let's get back to go.
650
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,700
Back to Capitol Hill for just a
second.
651
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,600
Their biggest only make one big
change.
652
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,800
Scott, Boone was let go as a
special teams coordinator engine
653
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,000
Van de Wit replaced him DeWitt
comes over from Nebraska.
654
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:38,400
He's also going to be the
outside linebackers coach.
655
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,800
He also was with frost during
the undefeated season at UCF.
656
00:39:44,500 --> 00:39:46,700
Pretty good special teams coach
coming over.
657
00:39:46,700 --> 00:39:49,000
So a good pickup by Mack Brown
and them.
658
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,100
So, yeah, so both teams making
coaching changes.
659
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:57,100
What do you feel about the
coaching changes down in Dental
660
00:39:57,100 --> 00:40:01,500
Tobacco Road?
So I think the Special Teams is
661
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:05,100
going to be key because I think
if UNC can Shore up some of the
662
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:09,900
things they do on special teams
to go with their offensive
663
00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:13,100
Improvement and hope and what
they I'm sure they hope is going
664
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:18,000
to be at least a step up on
defense of production that could
665
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,900
be scary.
I'm not I'm not quite as bare as
666
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:25,800
you are but I'm not in the the
full-on Tar Heel height train
667
00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:29,700
that the majority of the college
football writers are at Right
668
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:31,600
now.
So I'm somewhere in the middle.
669
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:34,800
Clap plastic me right there in
the middle.
670
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:40,400
But yeah, I think they're going
to be a good team but I think
671
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:45,200
you're right there and I think
maybe maybe a team like pits
672
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,600
going to be right there who were
going to talk about here in a
673
00:40:47,607 --> 00:40:49,000
second.
Terms of Duke.
674
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,100
I don't, I'm not sure what type
of impact that's going to be.
675
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:56,800
Obviously, having a guy stepping
into a power 5 gig for the first
676
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,300
time is going to be something
that could could be something to
677
00:41:00,300 --> 00:41:03,400
keep an eye on.
So, I think that's definitely
678
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,900
gonna potentially be a step down
at that position, but we'll keep
679
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:10,700
our eyes open and see what that
looks like.
680
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:14,500
Yeah, that's a big key to the
first power 5, but I always find
681
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:17,000
it interesting, though.
When you lose a guy in the next
682
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,200
thing, you know, he is title as
a code, something whether Co
683
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,200
offense or defense because it
says, okay, if this guy did well
684
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,200
enough to get in that type of
position, what was he doing
685
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,400
schematically or gameplay and
wise with the old defensive
686
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,100
coordinator?
Because when you see a guy do
687
00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:39,800
that, it has Ben and coordinator
for it usually says they put
688
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,600
some responsibilities on him
with his old team where he was
689
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,100
well enough.
And first enough to walk into
690
00:41:46,100 --> 00:41:49,700
another Palatine program and now
we'll get a title which
691
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:52,600
obviously is going to bring for
responsibility more money.
692
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,200
All right, Brian.
Let's get back in the car, man.
693
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,500
Let's let's hit up 95.
Let's get up to d.c.
694
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:06,000
Let's hang a left on the
Pennsylvania, Turnpike and head
695
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:10,000
to pit.
So the wonderful Pitt Panthers
696
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,000
returning 17 starters, not on
offense and on defense couple
697
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,700
guys, man kind of didn't go the
way of the NFL draft that people
698
00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:24,200
thought, so some very luck there
but they did lose a few.
699
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:27,500
Key guys.
Yeah, so there's two there's two
700
00:42:27,500 --> 00:42:29,800
big ones that I want to point
out the big one.
701
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,000
The biggest one being Jane
Jackson their corner back.
702
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,300
There was drafted in the seventh
round by the bills.
703
00:42:35,900 --> 00:42:39,600
He was all-acc second-team last
year so that's going to be a big
704
00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:42,900
blow for them in the secondary
and then on the other side of
705
00:42:42,908 --> 00:42:48,800
the ball their key wide receiver
or res French eight hundred
706
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,600
fifty yards and four touchdowns
in 2019 despite missing two
707
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,400
games.
One of them against Virginia
708
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,200
Tech, he ended up getting picked
up as much right to free agent
709
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,900
by the chief.
So those are two big big-time
710
00:43:02,900 --> 00:43:05,300
contributors one on each side of
the ball that they're going to
711
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:10,500
be missing out on next year.
Yeah anytime you any time you
712
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:14,300
lose a corner who gets drafted,
you know that there was some
713
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:18,500
potential chance chances are
during weeks where it was like
714
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,900
we don't have to worry about
that size of the side of the
715
00:43:20,900 --> 00:43:24,100
field.
So that's definitely a big loss
716
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:28,800
for They bring a lot back on
defense they also again it's pit
717
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,500
they're not the biggest, they're
not getting top 15 top 20
718
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:35,900
classes but again it's Narducci.
Much like cutcliffe he finds
719
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:39,900
Fitz, he makes it happen.
Twenty Seventeen, Thirty
720
00:43:39,900 --> 00:43:42,500
seventh, ranked class twenty
eighteen forty, eighth ranked
721
00:43:42,500 --> 00:43:47,300
class, the 2019, the 59th ranked
class so it has been going down.
722
00:43:47,300 --> 00:43:50,200
But Brian they return some
Talent, man.
723
00:43:51,500 --> 00:43:54,300
Yeah, big-time Town, especially
a couple guys here, I'll start
724
00:43:54,300 --> 00:43:57,000
with the big one, which is Jalen
Twyman.
725
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:01,200
What can you really say about
this guy?
726
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,400
41, tackles and ten and a half
sacks has an interior defensive,
727
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:09,700
lineman and, 2019 second-team,
All-American and first-team
728
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:15,100
all-acc complete stud in that
interior defense of wine.
729
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,900
And, you know, looking to make
an additional jump on those
730
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:22,100
numbers coming into 2020.
So that's Be the big one.
731
00:44:22,700 --> 00:44:24,900
And right next to him.
There is going to be Patrick
732
00:44:24,900 --> 00:44:27,000
Jones.
The second with 43 tackles and a
733
00:44:27,008 --> 00:44:31,700
teammate to have sex last year
at the defensive end spot.
734
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:37,300
He was all second-team all-acc,
making plays all over the field,
735
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:40,900
good off the edge.
So those are the big two in
736
00:44:40,900 --> 00:44:43,900
terms of getting pressure on the
quarterback and that was really
737
00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:46,600
their Hallmark, their calling
card last year was getting at
738
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,300
the quarterback and that they
were helped out a little bit by
739
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,900
by safety.
Paris for just coming back as
740
00:44:52,900 --> 00:44:56,200
well.
First-team, all-acc, and looking
741
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,300
to improve on that impressive,
2019 campaign, as well.
742
00:44:59,300 --> 00:45:01,800
So those are the big three on
defense.
743
00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:05,900
Keep your eye out for in 2020.
Absolutely.
744
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:09,600
You look at Twyman in Paris
forward, I think nor doozies,
745
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,100
very lucky that those guys came
back.
746
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:17,000
Twyman is ready to play it in FL
level watching him.
747
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,600
He was one of those guys being
you kind of watch that pit game.
748
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:24,200
You kind of saw and And you just
kind of said and it has a beast
749
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,900
and Paris Ford has been the
truth since he was recruited for
750
00:45:28,900 --> 00:45:31,300
star.
One of the best players in his
751
00:45:31,300 --> 00:45:36,100
recruiting class back in 2017,
you know, Paris for believe it
752
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:39,500
or not.
A Ford was a top hundred player
753
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:45,600
stayed home and same way.
He's a guy that you're very kind
754
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:50,600
of shocked that came back for
one additional year, but Brian
755
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,900
you've mentioned it.
Lot on defense, but I mean is it
756
00:45:53,900 --> 00:45:57,800
is it any question who he's the
key?
757
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:02,400
Oh, maybe if pits going to do
anything in 2020, it's going to
758
00:46:02,408 --> 00:46:04,900
be that Kenny pick.
It takes another step forward as
759
00:46:04,900 --> 00:46:09,000
a quarterback, they're looking
to probably get to the nine win
760
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,300
range.
If they're trying to win a
761
00:46:11,308 --> 00:46:17,600
coastal championship and and go
play probably Clemson in the ACC
762
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,600
Championship.
So if they're going to make any
763
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,300
any sort of Run it that it's
going to be because a guy like
764
00:46:23,300 --> 00:46:26,500
Kenny picket at quarterback is
going to take another step
765
00:46:26,500 --> 00:46:30,800
forward and be more consistent
getting the ball to his
766
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,200
Playmakers.
I mean we saw in the in the
767
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,000
Virginia Tech game and he
struggled sometimes getting
768
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000
accurate throws when he had
pressure coming at him.
769
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,400
And I think if he can get some
improvement of that area, they
770
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,000
might make some noise in the
coastal.
771
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,300
And if they don't they're just
going to be a team with a really
772
00:46:49,300 --> 00:46:51,500
good defense that can't score.
Ants.
773
00:46:51,900 --> 00:46:54,200
Yeah, well you mentioned the
tech game again.
774
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,700
Me and you got to go to last
year coming in that game.
775
00:46:56,700 --> 00:46:58,900
They were one of the hottest
teams in the ACC.
776
00:46:58,900 --> 00:47:02,100
They had won six of seven.
The only laws was a four-point
777
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:07,300
loss to Miami and then the last
two games we goose egg on.
778
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:13,200
And then they lose to BC at home
by touchdown, Which just kind of
779
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,500
put a huge damper on them.
Because when they walked in that
780
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:19,100
dgn, they were one of those
teams that they could beat us.
781
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:23,500
They potentially could make the
ACC Championship they didn't in
782
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:27,800
those last few games, man.
You know, pick, it was terrible
783
00:47:28,700 --> 00:47:31,600
at Virginia Tech.
It was he was off, we had the
784
00:47:31,900 --> 00:47:34,700
strip sack, fumble very early in
the game roof.
785
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,200
Brooks trypsin big Crawford,
snatches it up, runs it in.
786
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,800
And then, you know, you take a
look at the pit game.
787
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:53,200
I mean, you know, 30 or 40.
For 300 yards, one pick sacked,
788
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,800
four times.
I mean, the question is, during
789
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,400
that six of seven, win streak
dick, Kenney Pickett is, did he
790
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,500
hit the ceiling?
And if he hit a ceiling is seven
791
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:08,400
or eight their Max.
And if he has some of those bad
792
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,600
games, like he did against Tech,
could they come back to earth
793
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,200
Brawn?
I have a feeling, you're not,
794
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,700
ask you who's going to emerge, I
don't think it's gonna be
795
00:48:18,700 --> 00:48:20,100
anybody on defense.
This is it.
796
00:48:21,100 --> 00:48:24,100
No, I mean the primarily we're
looking at guys on offense, need
797
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:27,000
to take a step forward.
I think defense, the guys they
798
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,400
have coming in are necessarily
better than their losses but
799
00:48:30,700 --> 00:48:32,700
they're solid.
And you know, they've already
800
00:48:32,700 --> 00:48:37,200
got a lot of talent returning
already, but we're looking guys,
801
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,400
we need to step up and take a
step forward for them.
802
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,500
In 2019, that's all on the
offensive side of the ball and
803
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:46,200
it's going to start with shocky
jacques-louis, their wide
804
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,900
receiver.
He's going to step into a key
805
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:50,900
role.
The You're after starting six
806
00:48:50,900 --> 00:48:55,900
games last year, had right at
350 yards and two touchdowns in
807
00:48:55,900 --> 00:48:59,600
2019, seasonal looked need to
improve upon those numbers,
808
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:05,100
probably at least get into the
5800 yard range as one of their
809
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:08,300
primary targets if they're going
to take another step forward.
810
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,800
When we talk about some other
targets, that any Pickett's
811
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,600
going to have, we need to look
at a guy, crawl graduate
812
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:22,700
transfer out of Florida.
Ow, who's awesome time for the
813
00:49:22,700 --> 00:49:26,600
Gators and 18 and 19.
So he's will look to have
814
00:49:26,700 --> 00:49:31,700
probably some instant impact
that it offense after their
815
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:33,900
shaky finish to close out the
year.
816
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:37,900
But it'll be another Target for
chitty chicken there and it
817
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:46,000
seemed the field, some pit but
has seen some power five snaps
818
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,700
there.
So look for him in the final,
819
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:51,300
he's going to be Vince.
Beavis, who's the running back
820
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:56,000
true freshman.
Last year showed that was very
821
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,600
impressive in some spots in
between.
822
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,000
Nineteen, he had 314 yards,
rushing and five touchdowns so
823
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,800
you know, to find the end zone
pretty well.
824
00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:09,000
So they're looking for him to
take a step in the offseason and
825
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,000
help them out.
Because if you look at what,
826
00:50:12,700 --> 00:50:16,300
what pit was doing on ovens last
year, they just could not run
827
00:50:16,300 --> 00:50:18,700
the football, they cannot run
the football.
828
00:50:18,700 --> 00:50:22,200
So he's gonna you need to be the
guy that's going to step up and
829
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,100
make some of those big plays in
the running game.
830
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:28,000
So take a little bit of pressure
off of Kenny Pickett and what
831
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,400
they're trying to do passing the
ball.
832
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,700
Yeah.
You're a hundred percent right
833
00:50:31,700 --> 00:50:34,700
by that but there's one thing I
worry about Vincent Davis man,
834
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:41,000
he's 58 he's 175 pounds and if
and you saw you feel like the
835
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,500
touchdowns are good.
He has some handsome different
836
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:45,100
parts of the game that can help
out.
837
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:50,300
But is he going to be the guy
and it 58 175?
838
00:50:50,300 --> 00:50:53,300
Can he be the guy or is it going
to be Rose rotational things?
839
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:56,300
Which you know, in today's era
of college football?
840
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,800
It does happen.
But if you take one of your best
841
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,500
players off the field because
you can't give him that
842
00:51:02,500 --> 00:51:07,600
pounding, it definitely hurts
co-prime, believe it or not, it
843
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,300
made no coaching changes, none,
shocking.
844
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,500
But let me ask her to Z is he's
holding what?
845
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,800
Has, huh?
He is, but I'm gonna ask you
846
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,500
this.
He's only had one losing season
847
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:25,200
since he's been at Pitt, but no
Seasons with more than eight
848
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,600
wins.
If he has a bad season, could he
849
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,200
be on the hot seat?
I think so.
850
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,300
I think he's definitely going to
be put on the hot seat if he
851
00:51:34,300 --> 00:51:37,800
doesn't come out.
And when I think he almost has
852
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:42,700
to win the coastal this year, to
not have some level of fire
853
00:51:42,700 --> 00:51:44,900
under his ass, going into the
next offseason.
854
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,500
But at the same time, if he
doesn't get to that, that nine
855
00:51:49,500 --> 00:51:53,500
win threshold, whether they go
play for the coastal or not, I
856
00:51:53,500 --> 00:51:57,200
think it's going to be still
something that they're going to
857
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,800
look at, because I know that
pits never been at least in
858
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,400
recent history a team that's
going to go out and shatter the
859
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:10,800
Earth but at some point you have
to get a little tired of
860
00:52:11,100 --> 00:52:14,700
mediocrity and I think there's
stuck in mediocrity.
861
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:20,300
I think we've been a little bit
above that, just not the last
862
00:52:20,300 --> 00:52:25,700
two seasons necessarily, but
we've been A step above that and
863
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,400
I'm hoping that we take another
step back into that same
864
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,000
direction this year.
But it's definitely been in that
865
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,000
good.
But never great category or a
866
00:52:35,008 --> 00:52:38,100
long Common especially under are
doozies Direction.
867
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,000
Yeah, it's absolutely about
Virginia Tech.
868
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,800
The first two seasons, under
Justin Fuente, ten and nine
869
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,300
wins.
We were well above, we have to
870
00:52:47,300 --> 00:52:50,800
rebuild it six.
Then we had the eight last year
871
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:55,700
but as many of us who have a few
cocktails and then start
872
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:58,600
looking, we say, we could have
won 10 games last year, widely,
873
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,100
screw the pooch.
A few times.
874
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:04,100
So, but let's move on, Brian.
Let's go get some bourbon.
875
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,400
You wanna go get some bourbon
over in Louisville?
876
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,000
Let's do that, man.
Let's do it.
877
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,300
All right, so Louisville, last
year, hell of a rebound year by
878
00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:16,800
Scott Satterfield in his first
season, but he lost some guys,
879
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,400
of all the teams we discussed
today, they are returning.
880
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,700
The least amount of starters.
They overturn the 15 starters,
881
00:53:23,500 --> 00:53:27,200
seven on offense, 8 on defense
and Brian.
882
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,000
If me if I drove the your house,
Mechanics bill and we kicked
883
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,900
down heading down to the East
End over the Highland Springs.
884
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:40,100
There is a big big loss but
yeah.
885
00:53:40,100 --> 00:53:44,100
Big-time lost Big Time loss.
We got Makai becton, Holland
886
00:53:44,100 --> 00:53:47,600
spring Springer of the 804
drafted 11th.
887
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,900
Overall in the first round to
the Jets, that's a big time
888
00:53:52,900 --> 00:53:56,300
factor for them now, it was
probably the right decision for
889
00:53:56,300 --> 00:53:57,900
him.
Obviously after getting drafted
890
00:53:57,900 --> 00:53:59,100
11th.
Yeah.
891
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,700
It was a junior so that was a
potentially unexpected departure
892
00:54:03,700 --> 00:54:09,000
for them on top of losing their
senior tackle, Tyler hatecraft,
893
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,200
so they're losing both tackles
and one of them being what you
894
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,500
would call an all-world type
tackle.
895
00:54:16,300 --> 00:54:21,200
So that's going to be big-time
blow for them on offense.
896
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:25,000
Now, when we talk about defense
and who they are, who they lost
897
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:27,800
the biggest thing is going to be
Kane pass.
898
00:54:29,300 --> 00:54:32,400
He was a safety and he have the
the second most tackles on the
899
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,200
team s was solo tackles on the
team in third, most tackles
900
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:41,000
total and he got a good look by
some NFL Scouts as well.
901
00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:43,400
In terms of the undrafted free
agent Market.
902
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,800
That's a big loss in the
secondary, some of the other
903
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,100
guys that they lost some of them
were kind of portal guys.
904
00:54:51,100 --> 00:54:54,800
And some of them were guys from
the old regime that that
905
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,700
decided, you know, Moving on.
But in terms of the key,
906
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,500
Contributors to that 2019.
Turn around.
907
00:55:02,500 --> 00:55:04,600
Those are the big three.
They are the two tackles in the
908
00:55:04,607 --> 00:55:06,500
safety.
Yeah.
909
00:55:06,500 --> 00:55:10,900
Obviously, you talked about
losing to book in tackles one,
910
00:55:10,900 --> 00:55:12,700
who is obviously, you said it
all World.
911
00:55:12,700 --> 00:55:16,900
Believe he's an NFL player.
Now, drafted in the first round,
912
00:55:17,500 --> 00:55:20,400
the other on the right side, I
mentioned this the other day, I
913
00:55:20,408 --> 00:55:23,500
wish we played them earlier in
the season because as, you know,
914
00:55:23,500 --> 00:55:26,400
from playing offensive line, one
of the toughest things to do is
915
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,700
get a new line to jail,
especially when you're playing.
916
00:55:28,700 --> 00:55:35,500
Facing bookends now Brian there
they actually had some Talent.
917
00:55:35,500 --> 00:55:39,000
Macau is part of the 2017 class,
which is thirty fourth ranked
918
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:43,600
2018 30th rank, 2019, their 69th
rank.
919
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,900
But after the freaking dumpster
fire Bobby Petrino set on fire
920
00:55:46,900 --> 00:55:48,100
there.
It's a miracle.
921
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:53,800
Satterfield pulled 69 off that
recruiting class that was
922
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:59,100
impressive very impressive but
they clearly have some Talent
923
00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:01,400
coming back.
I'm not we're not dipping below
924
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,700
that five on each side of the
ball.
925
00:56:03,700 --> 00:56:05,800
So who do you feel?
It's got to be some of those
926
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:11,600
guys to potentially for them.
They did win more games than you
927
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,900
and see last year to potentially
get them a little higher up and
928
00:56:15,900 --> 00:56:20,900
maybe give Clemson a fight.
So the biggest key returning
929
00:56:20,900 --> 00:56:24,700
starters for them are going to
be their wide receivers,
930
00:56:25,900 --> 00:56:29,200
particularly 22 at.
Well, who's the big play thread?
931
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:30,900
He's coming off 1,000-yard
season?
932
00:56:31,700 --> 00:56:35,100
Reminds me a lot of Hollywood
Brown when you look at that
933
00:56:35,500 --> 00:56:39,000
speed and a playmaking ability
of getting him back this year.
934
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,900
So that's the big plays
throughout the were looking at.
935
00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:46,800
And also desk Fitzpatrick, is
there are other key wide
936
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,400
receiver.
He's the more of a possession
937
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,800
Target.
He's moving the sticks and have
938
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:56,600
the yard numbers that at will
had, but he's the guy that runs
939
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,100
good routes and have strong
hands.
940
00:56:58,100 --> 00:57:01,800
So he's going to be forgetful
when things break down that
941
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,500
you're looking forward to just
kind of get the ball out and
942
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,800
move the chains and keep the
drive going.
943
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:08,700
Look at the other guys coming
back.
944
00:57:08,700 --> 00:57:11,300
It's going to be Javion.
Hawkins is the other key guy on
945
00:57:11,300 --> 00:57:15,700
offense, running back, he had a
great year last year as a
946
00:57:15,700 --> 00:57:18,300
redshirt freshman second-team,
all-acc honors.
947
00:57:18,900 --> 00:57:23,300
Rushed for over 1,500 yards.
So look for him to potentially
948
00:57:24,300 --> 00:57:27,800
have a Repeat Performance or
improve upon that in 2020.
949
00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:30,600
And obviously still in the
offensive side of the ball.
950
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,700
We're looking at McHale
Cunningham and quarterback.
951
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,800
He showed last year.
These more than just an athlete
952
00:57:38,300 --> 00:57:42,000
had over 2,000 yards throwing
was really efficient with the
953
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,000
football.
When you did throw it, they
954
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,700
didn't throw the ball, son.
Obviously, he was running a lot
955
00:57:46,700 --> 00:57:52,000
and they had a good Good little
run and shoot there with em in
956
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:56,200
the in Hawkins, but when he did
throw the ball, he was throwing
957
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,000
it down the field and making
some plays.
958
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,300
So, those are the big guys on
offense that they look to
959
00:58:01,300 --> 00:58:04,500
return, they're going to be
solid on that side of the ball
960
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,700
on the defensive side of the
ball.
961
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,000
The big one that we wanted to
focus on that was a playmaker.
962
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,200
Last year is going to be CJ,
Avery weakside linebacker for
963
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,500
them.
He had 93 tackles three sacks
964
00:58:17,500 --> 00:58:20,100
and six pass breakups.
So he was another guy that we
965
00:58:20,100 --> 00:58:23,300
talked about guys.
All over the field, making plays
966
00:58:23,900 --> 00:58:27,100
making plays in different ways,
he's somebody to keep an eye on
967
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:32,600
for 2020.
Got you for Cunningham the first
968
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,600
he's my first thought when you
mention these guys and I think
969
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:39,000
about who they lost once again.
Yep he showed.
970
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,800
He's more than just a runner.
He could throw the ball but
971
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,600
again, he got McCobb X on the
left side.
972
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,300
Dude, nobody the side of the
macaws.
973
00:58:48,300 --> 00:58:50,600
Unbelievable.
And yes, he was not up.
974
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:54,000
Great polished.
You know, past Pro Set.
975
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,100
But do he got his hands on you?
Nobody's going to touch the
976
00:58:56,100 --> 00:58:59,100
quarterback.
I'm more interested to see how
977
00:58:59,100 --> 00:59:05,000
those two losses affect Hawkins
because again, your book ends,
978
00:59:05,100 --> 00:59:07,800
you think of an all-purpose back
like him, smaller shift, your
979
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,900
guy probably getting around,
which essentially means you have
980
00:59:10,900 --> 00:59:13,900
to have some good tackle play,
so essentially he can get to
981
00:59:13,900 --> 00:59:17,600
those edges.
I want to see if he can repeat
982
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:22,700
or if he has a regression this
year now Brian clearly.
983
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:31,000
Makka victims Kong who has the
unbelievable tough job of
984
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:36,200
filling those giant shoes.
So the guy looking to step in to
985
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,000
beckons role is going to be ad
honest bun and we've actually
986
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:43,400
saw him a little bit last year
when I went back and got nicked
987
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:48,100
against NC State, he stepped in
played pretty well.
988
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,100
And back to the absence I know
back then was Who's on the
989
00:59:52,100 --> 00:59:55,900
sidelines, coaching them up
there, but it looks like he
990
00:59:55,900 --> 00:59:59,000
stepped in pretty well in that
that small sample size.
991
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,100
So it'll be interesting to see
if he's able to do it for a full
992
01:00:02,100 --> 01:00:04,000
season.
Having that that role is a
993
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,700
full-time starter at left
tackle.
994
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,500
All right, well who else Braun,
who else do you feel like for
995
01:00:09,500 --> 01:00:12,800
them to potentially take that
step compete with Clemson?
996
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:17,400
Who's got to have a good season
both sides, both sides of the
997
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,300
big one on defense is going to
be Dunya.
998
01:00:21,500 --> 01:00:27,000
Bernard he's the defensive
tackle, he was actually a
999
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,100
walk-on.
Oh wow.
1000
01:00:30,500 --> 01:00:37,900
Walk on and earned a scholarship
in 2019 and had started rolling
1001
01:00:37,900 --> 01:00:41,400
a few games last year and was a
rotational player for the rest
1002
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,300
of the seasons.
He's looking to step into a
1003
01:00:43,308 --> 01:00:46,500
defensive tackle, rolled
potentially as a starter this
1004
01:00:46,500 --> 01:00:50,400
year to really Elevate them on
the defensive side of the ball.
1005
01:00:50,900 --> 01:00:55,400
And And actually going on that
same vein.
1006
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,200
We're looking at another guy
that might step in and be a big
1007
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,000
playmaker.
This year is another guy that
1008
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,800
was a walk-on that earned a
scholarship in 2019, and that's
1009
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:09,100
Michonne for the tight end.
This kid actually led the ACC
1010
01:01:09,100 --> 01:01:11,200
and touchdowns by at I did last
year.
1011
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,900
Oh man, yes, so he's looking to
potentially improve on that in
1012
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:16,800
terms of getting his yardage
numbers up, but he was a
1013
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:20,700
big-time Red Zone threat in the
ACC last year.
1014
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,500
Very nice.
Those two guys, definitely.
1015
01:01:26,700 --> 01:01:29,600
You love to hear that, you love
to hear also, that probably
1016
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,000
something Scott said or Fields
brought down there to that
1017
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,600
culture, giving walk on
scholarships and then seeing
1018
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:39,300
them perform, but the bun thing
that's going to be tough man.
1019
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:45,000
Because again again you played
offensive line, Brian.
1020
01:01:45,700 --> 01:01:48,500
When you lose somebody like a
McCobb active and you're an
1021
01:01:48,500 --> 01:01:51,900
offensive line coach What does
it make your head?
1022
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:54,900
First of all, when you have
someone like him, is it just one
1023
01:01:54,900 --> 01:01:57,500
of those like automatic?
Like, don't have to worry about
1024
01:01:57,500 --> 01:02:00,100
that side the Night vs?
Yeah.
1025
01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:03,400
That's, that's the thing.
I think we're looking at the
1026
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,200
problems that it creates losing
both.
1027
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:10,200
Bookends, it's not like in some
situations where you lose your
1028
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,400
your number one tackle and you
just kind of swap over and you
1029
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:14,100
do it.
You do it.
1030
01:02:14,100 --> 01:02:18,200
Next man up but when you lose
your two, best tackles that.
1031
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:22,500
That's a lot to fill in.
There because you're grinning in
1032
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,200
guys are both positions that
haven't seen a ton of snaps and
1033
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,800
I think that could be
problematic for them.
1034
01:02:29,700 --> 01:02:32,500
You know, they are aided by
having a quarterback that is
1035
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:36,000
athletic.
So some of that edge pressure
1036
01:02:36,300 --> 01:02:41,900
may not be as much of a problem,
but you can still going to be a
1037
01:02:41,908 --> 01:02:44,900
struggle for them.
I think at least early on, like
1038
01:02:44,900 --> 01:02:49,100
you said, I wish we had them
maybe in the first month of the
1039
01:02:49,100 --> 01:02:52,000
Season instead of Little bit
further down the road.
1040
01:02:53,100 --> 01:02:55,000
Absolutely.
All right Brian.
1041
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,200
This is the question you posed
and it's going to be our fan
1042
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:02,100
engagement question.
This week, which AC co-wrote
1043
01:03:02,100 --> 01:03:04,000
opponent makes you the most
nervous.
1044
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:11,900
Well I'm going to go.
I'm going Louisville just
1045
01:03:11,900 --> 01:03:16,300
because someone of the unknown
factor we don't play them very
1046
01:03:16,300 --> 01:03:19,600
often.
We're still learning what
1047
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:25,000
they're doing as an offense with
a new head coach and with some
1048
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,800
of these new players they have
coming in.
1049
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,800
So it's still going to be a hard
hard thing to Scout and a hard
1050
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,900
thing to prepare for from that
angle on top of the fact that
1051
01:03:33,900 --> 01:03:37,300
they're really talented on
offense, especially running the
1052
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:39,700
football and running with the
quarterback which is kind of
1053
01:03:39,700 --> 01:03:43,400
been our a Bugaboo.
So they scare me the most.
1054
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,900
I think we can definitely score
points against them that that
1055
01:03:45,900 --> 01:03:49,400
doesn't concern me.
But in the shootout it's going
1056
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:54,900
to be an interesting outcome.
So what about you buddy?
1057
01:03:56,200 --> 01:04:01,600
Hi, I'm not gonna go Louisville
almost went that way, but that
1058
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:07,700
is on Halloween day.
So that's one of those things.
1059
01:04:08,100 --> 01:04:10,000
The crowds probably going to be
pumped.
1060
01:04:10,300 --> 01:04:11,900
It's they have a good crowd
anyway.
1061
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:13,800
So there's going to be energy in
the stadium.
1062
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:18,200
So it's not going to be hard to
get up for the, the flip side of
1063
01:04:18,500 --> 01:04:22,000
which, when we got home early
because they have to find their
1064
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:26,500
offensive line to jail.
Well, by that time by Halloween,
1065
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,000
they're going to have seven to
eight games on tape.
1066
01:04:29,100 --> 01:04:30,400
So we're going to know what
they're doing.
1067
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,300
Offensive ly, so easier to
prepare for, but I'm going to go
1068
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:38,000
flip it.
Six days after that hit on a
1069
01:04:38,008 --> 01:04:41,800
Friday night, you won't talk
about probably a place that will
1070
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:47,700
have zero to no energy.
It will probably be very mundane
1071
01:04:47,900 --> 01:04:50,800
and rdz screaming his head off
because he didn't get the first
1072
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,000
call.
When his team's go screwed it up
1073
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:59,600
that Excuse me, because they're
not as talented as us and you
1074
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,400
want to just go upstairs and
squash them.
1075
01:05:01,700 --> 01:05:04,900
Now, here's my tote.
This Is My Hope for that early
1076
01:05:04,900 --> 01:05:07,500
November game.
You want to hear the sound?
1077
01:05:08,100 --> 01:05:11,800
We haven't lost everybody's hike
because we just beat Louisville
1078
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,600
at home and Halloween, and
everybody just start scooping up
1079
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:20,100
tickets to Hind and that becomes
Lane Stadium Pittsburgh style,
1080
01:05:21,100 --> 01:05:24,600
and it's 40,000.
Toki fans sitting there
1081
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:30,500
screaming and the energy comes
and it hopefully helps the kids
1082
01:05:30,500 --> 01:05:34,500
out.
So folks that is going to wrap
1083
01:05:34,500 --> 01:05:38,600

1091
01:06:05,300 --> 01:06:11,000
up drinking.
I could back the three and 50.
1092
01:06:13,100 --> 01:06:24,900
I even started exercising, I
quit smoking Marlboro.
1093
01:06:32,900 --> 01:06:23,200
Last week she up.
I even started exercising, I
