As the Hokies enter their bye week ahead of their next game against Notre Dame we look at where the Hokies stack up statistically so far, discuss the bye week presser, and look back at the TCU and Memphis offenses of 2010 and 2015 respectively to see if we can find a path forward for this offense in 2021.

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,300
Welcome back to the boundary
Corner podcast with bronzy glow,

2
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:53,200
I'm Curtis Wilson.
Happy hump day, big guy.

3
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,900
Yes, sir.
Yes sir.

4
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,000
I got a little little little
extra bonus tonight class guide.

5
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,600
Let out early.
So I had a little little more

6
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,800
time than I'd planned.
So, we're rolling and rocking

7
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,400
tonight on time, ready to talk a
little by week's Shenanigans

8
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,400
here and see what we can.
We can chop up and figure out

9
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,500
about this offense man.
Bye week.

10
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:19,600
Banner.
Some self-reflection tonight.

11
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,300
Some digging into the
statistics, some reviewing.

12
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,500
This conferences and digging
into Brian had a great time

13
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:31,100
today.
Brian got to dig into the

14
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:38,100
essentially foundation of the
crew offense little history

15
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:42,400
project today guess history,
prop history project Bottom by

16
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:45,100
some conversations.
We heard earlier this week with

17
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:53,200
Jerrod Evans and then just me
getting very bored me getting

18
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,600
bored.
Last night, Curtis is like, take

19
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,800
a look at this.
I was like, I'll take a look at

20
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,800
it.
Now, I'm going to look at for

21
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,800
other games and and we're going
to, we're going to put this into

22
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,300
the into the show tonight.
So, I triggered, Brian, because

23
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,600
I'm sitting here, this is kind
of what it happen.

24
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,000
What we're going to go about
later on the episode.

25
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,800
I'm literally sitting here
saying, I wonder if the foo

26
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,400
offense is the same as it was a
decade ago, when he was scoring

27
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,400
43 points, plus a game.
I TCU so I essentially were I

28
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,800
was able to find A full gameplay
with pretty much in all 22 View

29
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,600
and the side view, I sent it to
Brian.

30
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,000
We go through like 15 minutes
looking at plays couple things.

31
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,200
Brian immediately says, why
aren't we doing this now?

32
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:45,500
We'll get into that.
But we're going to be first guys

33
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:49,600
is we're going to go deep.
Do some statistics about what

34
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,700
we're seeing on offensive, and
defensive side of the ball and

35
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:56,000
then we can go into the
oppressors with food ham and

36
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,100
Horn.
Sounds like a how crisp

37
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,900
Thanksgiving dish, right there.
I want some food ham corn and

38
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:04,500
then we're going to have that
turducken.

39
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,700
Is that what is that what it was
like for ducking?

40
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:08,100
What?
You get your size as well.

41
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,300
Yeah, exactly.
And then we're going to go look

42
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:14,000
at that table on making some
pictures for some games this

43
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,900
weekend.
We are not going to be here

44
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:17,800
Sunday, this is the by we get
hokey.

45
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,100
So like the Hokies we're
practicing in the middle of the

46
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:22,400
week.
We're going to get the weekend

47
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,900
off their heads refill here.
Any picks this week guys soon,

48
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,900
or you can flip a coin against
our picks.

49
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,200
Hey, I'm better than a coin
flip.

50
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:42,100
Now guys, one flip.
Hey, start with my current

51
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:45,700
record, hold up.
If you have been betting with me

52
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:49,600
after the absolutely horrendous,
start us the three in God.

53
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
I am, let's see three and
nighttime 18 and 12 against the

54
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,200
spread after week one.
I'm a sick.

55
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,800
So he said you're doing pretty
good.

56
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,200
What?
You got?

57
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,100
A little bit of data.
Exactly, exactly.

58
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:07,600
All right.
Well let's kick it off here.

59
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,700
Brian let's kick it off.
Looks look at the defensive side

60
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:14,200
of the ball and let's do the
first two steps on a thread and

61
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,200
talk about is this third down
conversion.

62
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:23,900
Hokies to me, this is Elite
territory 28.8%, conversions

63
00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:27,000
against them, 15th in the
country, and they're only giving

64
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,800
up 71 first downs.
And in four games folks, that's

65
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,400
roughly about 16 17 a game.
Which when you start talking

66
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,100
about, people aren't converting.
Plus you have a guy like Peter

67
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:42,000
more.
Shout out Peter more freshman

68
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,700
29th, and a country with 42
yards, net.

69
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:48,600
Even teams that are moving the
ball brine, you know, they're

70
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,400
not getting far, and they're not
converting on third down.

71
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,700
So great start for our defense,
right?

72
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,200
Absolutely great.
Start for the defense on third

73
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,800
down.
And as you said, with Peter

74
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,200
more, when you look at the
statistics, I think another

75
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,400
thing they're showing is that
we're doing a great job in

76
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,100
average starting field position.
For our defense won, com1 climb

77
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:12,500
over on the other side of the
field one time and that's huge.

78
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:14,600
That's that's definitely playing
in to our advantage there.

79
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,300
Any time you can Take your, the
other team have to drive 65 plus

80
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:24,100
yards to score a touchdown.
Every time you're doing

81
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:27,500
something right?
And that's regardless of whether

82
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:30,300
it's kickoff pump, whatever
we're doing a good job of making

83
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:33,600
them have to start fairly deep
in their own territory with

84
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,400
every drive and that, that
definitely UPS the chances of

85
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,200
the defense, being able to get
off the field without

86
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,800
surrendering any points.
They've been doing that is

87
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:45,200
they've been doing that as well.
Braun scoring off.

88
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,100
Sworn defense has 15th in the
country, borderline Elite 15

89
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:53,300
.25, the game and that's
including we haven't stopped on

90
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:55,600
anybody.
In the Red Zone, yet teams are

91
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,600
747 in the red zone for
touchdowns three field goals.

92
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,700
So statistically we are not.
We're literally at the bottom of

93
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:06,700
the barrel because every time
they get down there they score

94
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:13,200
unfortunately.
But in four games to only have

95
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,800
seven Red Zone trips, I'd take
that, okay?

96
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,100
You're not getting in there
either.

97
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:21,300
You're gonna have to beat the
long plays, or you're kicking

98
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,500
long field goals.
Yeah.

99
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:26,300
And I mean, I'd like to see,
maybe that that foreign three

100
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:28,600
swapped, I'd like to see four
field goals against three

101
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,000
touchdowns.
But the the number the total

102
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,400
number with seven trips.
I mean, that's good, it's over

103
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,500
the course of four games.
So I'll take that all day

104
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,200
especially It's we've only
surrendered, really, you know, a

105
00:06:40,207 --> 00:06:43,600
handful of big plays on defense
as well.

106
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,600
Well, three the Carolina screen,
the long-running West Virginia,

107
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,400
and the corner smashing West,
Virginia, along with their

108
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:57,100
50-plus yard field goal.
So even when teams again and

109
00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:01,800
there's only what one, over 40
yard for your plus yard

110
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,000
touchdown.
Yeah.

111
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,800
So we're not seeing what we were
seeing last year or we're not

112
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,600
seeing those big gash runs.
Yeah, you know you look they'll

113
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,500
occasionally bus to 15-yarder on
us but we're not giving up

114
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:17,300
consistently those big cashiers
of 30-plus that are going for

115
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:21,500
touchdowns exactly and that's
what was killing this defense

116
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:26,000
last year.
And you know with that stopping

117
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,300
the tackling better essentially,
people can throw things and and

118
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:34,200
I hope somebody comment some of
the chat.

119
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:36,800
Dax is playing his natural
position.

120
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,900
And tis is playing his natural
position.

121
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:43,100
They're both playing 85% of the
time they're not, they're no

122
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:47,900
longer sharing snaps.
So we're not splitting snaps and

123
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:50,100
actually playing a position that
he's comfortable with.

124
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:52,700
And we saw him out on the field,
a whole lot more against

125
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:54,600
Richmond.
Then we have previous week's.

126
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Yeah, because they were a more
of a run.

127
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,400
First offense, especially once
Mancuso went down on the first

128
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,500
drive there, they were printing.
They were very much a run first

129
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:06,200
off.
And so that meant that we didn't

130
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:11,200
necessarily need that true
nickel package, that we've been

131
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,300
deploying against some of the
other teams that like to swing

132
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:15,700
the ball around a lot more.
Exactly.

133
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,700
Now, the last few things I'm
going to throw on with the

134
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:22,100
defense here.
Total Defense.

135
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,800
We just put that out there.
First 47, that 326 yards very

136
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,900
respectable up close to 60
positions from last year and

137
00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:34,600
where we were.
So okay, I'm goes on that.

138
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:37,400
Having a full All Seasons,
definitely helpful.

139
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:41,500
But the the other pieces I want
to take a look at here, is we

140
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:44,100
forced six turnovers 50th in the
nation?

141
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:48,500
And what do you usually look at
Brian?

142
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:50,800
What do you want to know about
when you hear about forcing a

143
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,600
fair?
Number of turnovers in the first

144
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,200
course of four games.
What do you think?

145
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,300
Pressure in this team's getting
pressure.

146
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,800
Okay.
I like that 25th in the country

147
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,300
and sacks three and a quarter of
game 45th in the country and

148
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:12,700
tackle for loss at six point,
eight a game.

149
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:16,800
So, you know, like I think
Richmond had a total like 62

150
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,800
plays do the math and if you're,
if you're averaging 10, If

151
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,100
you're averaging ten times
getting in the backfield then

152
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:30,400
basically 20% of the time you
can book.

153
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,900
We're getting there.
Not wanting what do we got?

154
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,400
I wish there was this that out
here PFF, probably has it.

155
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,500
I love to go see it.
Hits and pressures.

156
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:40,800
If you're getting there, fifteen
twenty percent of the time with

157
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,100
Saxon tackles for loss, how much
more additional pressure you're

158
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:48,200
putting on that defense.
So bad throws forced fumbles,

159
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,900
five, interceptions, total
obviously, Jermaine Waller.

160
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:53,500
Leading the way.
And one of the top guys in the

161
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:57,600
country.
So yeah, deep that it will go

162
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,000
ahead and say, you know, we've
talked about the last few weeks

163
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,700
that we haven't necessarily
seen.

164
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,300
You know, the stat sheet filled
up by bar.

165
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:07,300
No.
But it looks like the impact of

166
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:09,300
the defensive line as a whole is
there.

167
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,600
And you know, bar knows
impacting the game in different

168
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,100
ways that aren't necessarily
showing up on the stat sheet.

169
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:18,600
But we definitely need to get
him involved a little more in

170
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,300
terms of getting back there in
the in the back.

171
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,000
It again like we saw kind of the
start of the season and we're

172
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,400
going to talk about that a
little bit J.

173
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,500
Hamm address that a little bit
in the press conference.

174
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:32,400
So we'll talk about that a
little bit more but it's nice to

175
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,500
see the Hokies getting pressure
on the quarterback.

176
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:38,200
Again getting tackles for loss
disrupting the running game

177
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,700
because a lot of that was absent
really last few years, but last

178
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:46,000
year a particular particular
last year.

179
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,000
So in general, as we look at all
the data points in what we've

180
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,700
seen on the field with the
defense and make sense, this is,

181
00:10:51,900 --> 00:10:54,500
you know, I know Oh, Total
Defense is 47, but you start

182
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:58,300
going through all these stats,
do you say we're a top-25

183
00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:03,400
defense?
So yeah I mean we're up there

184
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,200
and you know, I think we talked
about it.

185
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:12,000
When we look at whether we talk
about Total Defense, your

186
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,900
points, I care more about
points.

187
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:17,500
Yes.
Because if you're keeping points

188
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:23,100
off the board, you can move move
between the your own 20 and are

189
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:26,200
40 all day.
But, you know, we're going to

190
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,300
lock it down as long as we lock
it down after that, it's all

191
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:33,200
good to me.
Get that 45, 50 yards of offense

192
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:39,600
and then get nothing out of it.
So again, you know, Scoring its

193
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,200
Elite.
And if you take away the couple

194
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,900
of big plays, it would probably
be in the top five, but some

195
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:49,800
things to work on, not perfect,
on defense yet, but, definitely

196
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,900
some things to work on.
All right, I'm gonna go to the

197
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:57,400
office now because okay, that
ain't is good and let's go with

198
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,100
the two things we're doing
actually, okay, okay, I'll put

199
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:05,300
together, first of all, we've
only had four turnovers all year

200
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:09,400
36 in the country.
We are not just handing the ball

201
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:14,500
two teams which is good because
the way the defense is playing

202
00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:19,700
way the defense is playing.
If you don't turn the ball over

203
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:22,800
you don't necessarily put them
in bad spots.

204
00:12:22,900 --> 00:12:25,200
They get they get the ball back
to you pretty quick.

205
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,500
Yeah.
Now the other believe it or not

206
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:30,800
this is not a bad statistics on
those one third down

207
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,500
conversions, we're 40th in the
country.

208
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:36,700
We're converting about 45% of
our third Downs.

209
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,100
But I know something me and you
talked about and it's going to

210
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:43,700
go into this.
We're only getting 78 first

211
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,900
downs for the year.
So we're only getting about 19 a

212
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:51,300
game and we just talked about
our defense giving up about 16

213
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:53,900
17 a game.
We're not far behind.

214
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:58,700
So I know you talked about the
Richmond game.

215
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:03,800
Ryan particular a little earlier
this week about You know, it's

216
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,000
cool to be able to convert their
downs but you're tired of it,

217
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,600
right?
Yeah.

218
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,700
Middle Tennessee, State and
Richmond.

219
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:16,500
We got to third down way more
than we should have.

220
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:21,200
There's no reason that we should
not have been successful at a

221
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,300
higher rate on first and second
down where we weren't forced

222
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:25,500
into.
So many third down

223
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:29,000
opportunities, converting on
third down opportunities is

224
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000
important and it's a good tune
up for some of those hard.

225
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:34,900
Our matchups that we're going to
face starting next week with

226
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:40,300
Notre Dame, but at the same time
we should be able to assert

227
00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:44,400
ourselves against a Richmond or
Middle Tennessee, State and not

228
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,300
get forced into situations where
we're having to convert on third

229
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:50,200
down at such a rate that we
have.

230
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:54,900
Yeah, and it's just it's one of
those things.

231
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:57,900
It's like we don't have those
explosive plays where we're

232
00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:03,000
getting 15 20 yards of Pop.
Five to six times a game that

233
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,400
essentially against teams like
that.

234
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,500
That's how you crush them quick
now.

235
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:10,600
All right, I've done the good,
okay?

236
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:13,100
Bad and ugly.
It's there, it's just bad and

237
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:14,700
ugly.
It's not bad being ugly.

238
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,600
It's just, it's all bad and
ugly.

239
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,400
It's a combination, all bad and
ugly.

240
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:24,300
Let's start with this man.
Yeah, the Red Zone, efficiency.

241
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:28,800
Where 107th out of 130, some
teams, we are only converting

242
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,400
64% of our Red Zone.
You know, we've only had 14

243
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,500
trips, we've inverted 9
obviously, there's three we know

244
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:40,500
about, but in general even
though that like you can say

245
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:45,000
well that game really skews it,
It's your also sit here, you

246
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,900
take those out, it's like 6 or
11, you're still about the same

247
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:50,800
percentage in the other three
games.

248
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:56,500
And luckily, for us, the defense
has been bawling because we

249
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:58,700
loved so many points on the
field.

250
00:14:58,700 --> 00:15:00,300
I don't know.
For when they talk about it

251
00:15:00,308 --> 00:15:03,600
right now, I mean, can we just
start?

252
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,300
Let's just count how many
potential on field will say it

253
00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:13,200
will go 5 number 21 points at
West Virginia right?

254
00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:14,100
Right.
Yeah.

255
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,100
What would we say 14 points at
North Carolina?

256
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,500
I'd say at least at least 14 in
North Carolina and then probably

257
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:28,600
7th or Richmond in Middle
Tennessee.

258
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,900
We agree, you agree.
There's been a girl's a couple

259
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:36,400
D, the Peter Moore Bluff up, the
getting behind on the chains.

260
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:41,200
When we were driving you like,
okay, start doing the math and

261
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,700
it's like, okay, 30 next thing,
you know, it's like it's 50

262
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:49,500
points, Max, when we left on the
board, you throw 50 points on

263
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:56,200
there are dismal scoring off the
sense of numbers. 99th in the

264
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,700
country.
We got 99 problems and scoring

265
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:01,200
is definitely.
One point three and a half a

266
00:16:01,208 --> 00:16:02,900
game.
Yeah.

267
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,300
I mean, we just got to get
better.

268
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:10,000
I mean, we've missed a couple
field goals that were giving a

269
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,400
chip shots, because we're on the
wrong hash for good or ill.

270
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,400
I mean, that's at this point,
we, that shouldn't be a problem,

271
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,900
but the fact that it is means
that we need to start adjusting

272
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:25,600
to it, right?
Take that into account and you

273
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,300
know, it's bad enough.
Not converting, it's even worse.

274
00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:31,200
When you when you leave.
On the field in the kicking

275
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,500
game.
So that's kind of doubled down

276
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:36,900
on our our lack of success in
the Red Zone.

277
00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:39,100
It's like, okay, we're not
getting seven then half the

278
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:40,600
time.
We're not getting three either

279
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:43,600
whether it's because we choose
to go for which, in some of

280
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,500
those cases I think was
necessary.

281
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:47,700
Well, and in some of those
cases, it probably would have

282
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:52,000
been smarter to take three and
then, but, you know, we've had a

283
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,900
couple times where we've been
inside the 10 and miss the

284
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:56,400
three.
So, you know, when that's what

285
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,200
that may be playing into the
idea of rolling the dice there.

286
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,200
Exactly.
So, you know, it's really kind

287
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,200
of one feeding the other at this
point.

288
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:07,599
And when you're playing down
like we were most of West

289
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,200
Virginia, that's when you start
making those kind of choices,

290
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,800
right?
You have to I mean, we made

291
00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:19,200
three choices to go for
touchdowns versus kicking field

292
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,000
goals.
And that game, if Romeo could

293
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,200
have made them from that close,
its nine points.

294
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,700
It's a six-point game three
point.

295
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:29,300
When you probably don't, you
don't know at the time that

296
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:31,900
you're To get two turnovers in
the second half that are going

297
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:33,700
to set you up nicely.
Nope.

298
00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:36,400
And overall, Braun the total
offense.

299
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:39,500
We're at 113.
I mean, this is, this is like

300
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:49,200
crime 2000's offense, which
Stanny 113 329, ouch.

301
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:53,000
I mean, the thing is, we have
pretty decent field position.

302
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,800
A lot of time starting probably
somewhere in the I would say,

303
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:01,100
Between 30 and 35 and you count.
Again, you start doing the math

304
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:03,900
and it's just like it
translates, right?

305
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:09,600
We're averaging three touchdowns
a game roughly 320 you do the

306
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,100
math and we've talked about the
you know the the punting game

307
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:17,600
with Peter more there.
Let's talk about the kick return

308
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,200
game are punt, return team, and
our kick return team have set us

309
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,000
up pretty good.
Yes, they have for most of the

310
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,900
year so and that's why.
Why?

311
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:30,500
I mean some of the this offense
has to start coming together

312
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:34,000
because we can't keep having the
defense get us good stops or and

313
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,300
or turnovers and are kicking
team.

314
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:39,100
Give us good field position and
We Come Away with three points

315
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:41,100
or nothing.
Most of the time.

316
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:43,900
We got to start putting the ball
in the end zone.

317
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,500
It's very true, man.
And I mean are essentially our

318
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:52,100
punt unit punt.
Return unit is actually one of

319
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:57,600
the best in the nation, you
know, coming in in the top 20,

320
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:01,300
the 145 return yards, you know,
obviously you got taste

321
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:08,700
touchdown and and that's one of
those parts where it's can we.

322
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:11,800
Can I say it even though this is
a whole new regime is history

323
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,000
repeating itself.
Its history repeating itself and

324
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,600
it's what the whole different
cast of characters.

325
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:22,700
Yeah.
And something has to be done

326
00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:24,900
and, you know, let's just flip
it over.

327
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:28,000
Let's hear what let's talk
about, what coach Fuente had to

328
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,700
say.
I think the big one I want to

329
00:19:30,708 --> 00:19:33,600
start with here.
Brian is there having practice

330
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,900
this week?
We lose that in the first part

331
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:41,500
Monday.
Yesterday and today it was with

332
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:44,900
primarily, all the young guys,
they're looking at snap count.

333
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:47,400
The old guys were getting true
breaks, they'll be back,

334
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:52,500
Thursday for some workout or
Thursday, for actual practice.

335
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:56,900
And then Friday for workouts,
I'm assuming this is probably

336
00:19:56,900 --> 00:20:02,300
something that's just normal
policy in Collegiate football.

337
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,600
I wouldn't say it's standard but
I think it definitely is widely

338
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,000
used.
I think it kind of depends on

339
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,900
the coach I know Fuente somewhat
alluded to the fact that he used

340
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:21,600
to kind of have a set schedule
for the bye week and he's kind

341
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,200
of changed that up over the
years and kind of is done things

342
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,500
as needed for the team at the
current moment.

343
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:33,500
And I think, looking at where we
are, depth, wise and Things like

344
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:38,200
that, getting rest for the
veteran guys, for a couple days,

345
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,500
you know, he'll up, still keep
the mental sharp, right?

346
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:46,400
But not necessarily doing a ton
on the physical side of things

347
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,000
and then coming back on Thursday
and then getting that lift on

348
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,100
Friday probably the best
prescription for them.

349
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:55,400
While the young guys that
haven't had a ton of reps that

350
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,600
aren't completely banged up, get
them out there.

351
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,600
Get them practicing with the
first group as much of them that

352
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,100
are Icing and just make sure
that they're getting to run

353
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:08,000
through reps against live
competition.

354
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,600
I think that's what's going to
be good for the bye week because

355
00:21:11,500 --> 00:21:16,000
you know we've said it depth is
a concern this year and the more

356
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,800
guys we can bring along faster,
the better it's going to be in

357
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,500
the long run and some of that's
going to be the wide receiver

358
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,300
group, where we've got our big
three of kind of played a shit

359
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:30,300
ton of snaps.
Yes, they have.

360
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,000
Where everybody else is not so
much.

361
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
But we're also talking about
across the defensive line,

362
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,300
especially defensive end and
probably the other one is

363
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:46,500
offensive line, right?
So absolutely, you know,

364
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:49,100
something else you mentioned
Brian, other than the rest and

365
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:52,900
stuff like that is talked about,
this is a week, the coaches can

366
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:56,400
start reviewing their skiing and
what to do, and how they make

367
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,700
adjustments.
There's a lot of adjustments

368
00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:01,000
needed.
And then he kind of asked the

369
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
question, what steps can you
take to improve?

370
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:05,000
Are you asking too much of your
players?

371
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:10,800
You know, I sit here and in the
players are put in the position

372
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,400
that you asked me to be in.
Could execution, be better?

373
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:18,100
Yes.
But the whole piece is.

374
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,700
You've had this is where you've
had a full spring.

375
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:22,900
You've had a full summer
session.

376
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:26,200
You had a full fall and if
you're still saying there or

377
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,200
we're asking our players to do
too much, That should have been

378
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,300
answered when you got default
camp.

379
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:36,000
Not the 4th week into the
season.

380
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:41,700
Yeah and I think some of that
speaks back to the depth right

381
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:47,000
because when you don't have
depth you kind of start asking

382
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,500
more of the guys that know what
they're doing, have the

383
00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:57,100
experience and things like that.
And sometimes They're physically

384
00:22:57,100 --> 00:23:02,100
ready to take that on but they
may not be ready to do that week

385
00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:03,900
to week, right?
Yeah.

386
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,300
And so you can see it happened
in practice but when you put it

387
00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:09,800
on a game you don't be too weak.
So that's where the

388
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,500
inconsistencies can show up and
sometimes putting too much on a

389
00:23:13,508 --> 00:23:16,200
player can win that start
showing up in a game, that's

390
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,900
when you see it.
So that maybe what he's speaking

391
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:22,300
to there, and it's hard to
replicate some of that in

392
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:24,700
practice.
So, getting game tape and then

393
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,700
Waiting that way is really the
only way to kind of encapsulate

394
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:33,500
that they said they saw it last
year with Blackshear and they

395
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,300
made some adjustments in the
offseason.

396
00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:38,500
So sometimes the only way to
really see that is by having the

397
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:41,400
tape and seeing that.
Okay, well, looks like he's

398
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,800
pressing here or, you know, he's
trying to do too much here or

399
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,800
whatever it may be, and I'm
staking a little bit off, you

400
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,300
know, throwing The Change-Up
might be the better option

401
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:54,500
there.
It's very true.

402
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:57,300
And but the only thing about
that Brian is your four games in

403
00:23:57,300 --> 00:24:02,000
and you get deeper is the more
basic or this is my opinion.

404
00:24:02,300 --> 00:24:06,200
The more basic you become on
either side of the ball easier

405
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,700
for defense has easy for
offenses to key in on what

406
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:12,700
you're doing, easier for them to
attack you or for being in the

407
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:15,400
right spot when you attack to
get you minimal gain.

408
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,800
So it's that it's a catch-22,
right?

409
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:20,600
Well, yeah.
And some of this isn't

410
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,900
necessarily trimming back
Responsibilities sometimes it

411
00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:29,500
can just be focusing on the
things you're doing well.

412
00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:34,500
More than the things where you
know you're struggling with so

413
00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:36,900
some of that's going to be
selection some of its going to

414
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:39,400
be addition by subtraction, but
some of its just going to be,

415
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:42,800
we're going to say we're going
to keep that in our back pocket

416
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,900
until we absolutely need it.
Instead of throwing it out

417
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:47,400
there, you know, multiple times
a game?

418
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:50,700
Exactly.
All right, he took complete

419
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:52,100
ownership.
We already mentioned it.

420
00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:54,800
We're not scoring enough.
When he took complete ownership

421
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,200
saying, we had left a ton of
points on the field and not

422
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,400
being manufactured at the rate.
They won't.

423
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,500
It was good to hear him say
that.

424
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,100
And then, you know, then he
talked about evaluating the

425
00:25:07,108 --> 00:25:09,400
coaches during the bye week,
right?

426
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,600
Yep.
What they can improve.

427
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:16,600
And I know Brian, he did
something that you liked a lot

428
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,400
with what he asks his coaches.
Yeah, I mean, so this is this is

429
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,400
a technique that a lot of a lot
of manager.

430
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,300
Good managers do is that, you
know, they'll last questions of

431
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,700
folks that they already know the
answer to wanting them to

432
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:36,600
communicate how they feel so
that, they make sure that

433
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,200
they're on the same page that a
lot of times, you know, the

434
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,400
classic thing is, you know, when
you assume something, you make

435
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,900
an ass out of you and me, you
don't want to assume that you're

436
00:25:45,900 --> 00:25:47,900
on the same page with your
coaching staff.

437
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:50,400
You want to have some To
confirmation.

438
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:56,100
So, in lack of actual verbal,
communication of that asking

439
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:58,600
those types of questions, kind
of gets that ball rolling,

440
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,600
right?
It absolutely does.

441
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,500
Because if, you know, he has a
question, he expects in

442
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:09,700
answering this format in this
box and one of the coaches is

443
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:13,000
over here.
Well, first of all.

444
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:16,600
Does that make sense where he
is, right?

445
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,500
That's the, you get outside the
box thinking, don't get me

446
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:22,100
wrong.
You can think outside the box

447
00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:26,000
and be right, and maybe had
shine some light on things, but

448
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
it's when they're over here, and
the answer is not close to what

449
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,300
you're looking for.
You guys start kind of bringing

450
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:36,200
them in into a better point of
what we've been talking about,

451
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,800
if the execution issues, right?
If the execution issues are

452
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,600
happening at certain position,
those guys aren't giving those

453
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,500
answers that he's looking for.
Then you can start unraveling

454
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:52,300
like, okay, now I can see why
we're having the issues here and

455
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:57,100
there, so me it's a very good
technique, so I'm not even gonna

456
00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:00,700
it's a good managerial
technique.

457
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,400
Hopefully, something will come
to light of it, but we'll see.

458
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,400
We talked about third down, he
said he wants to see improved on

459
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:15,700
both sides of the ball for the
defense, okay?

460
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:22,600
Um, They literally stopping
people a pretty much elite clip.

461
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:25,900
So we're going to toss that away
maybe even just for the offense

462
00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:29,100
because again we've already
talked about the offense, it's

463
00:27:29,100 --> 00:27:32,900
not good but it's also the
number of times they're getting

464
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:36,900
to third down and to me it's for
the number of times.

465
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:39,400
I think the number of times on
the, on the defense side of the

466
00:27:39,408 --> 00:27:45,500
ball is is fine.
And you know, I think it's been

467
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,300
it's been good to see that.
There has been an improved point

468
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:54,200
of emphasis of improving third
down efficiency because that was

469
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:57,700
awful last year on both sides of
the ball in a lot of ways.

470
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:03,500
So, having Improvement really on
the efficiency side of things on

471
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:07,400
offense and defense from 2020,
has been a good sign of things

472
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,800
to come.
There, we just need to piece

473
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:14,700
together consistency, right?
So, when our back has been

474
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:18,300
against the wall, the offenses
has been okay at keeping drives

475
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:22,600
alive, but You know, we've been
so inconsistent first and second

476
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,000
down that it's really hard to
keep that conversion clip going

477
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,100
through just need to.
We need to be be a lot better.

478
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:33,600
And part of the reason that
we're so good on third Downs

479
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,700
that we're having a lot of them
because we don't have any

480
00:28:35,700 --> 00:28:37,700
explosive plays.
Yeah.

481
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,000
We're we don't we don't yet we
don't have any explosive plays

482
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,200
at all.
I think I mean kavion punt

483
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,500
returns probably the most
explosive play all year.

484
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:50,100
Then you look at like holsten's
TD.

485
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:55,100
He catch their explosive but
they're not, they're not

486
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:57,200
Buster's.
When I say a bus to I'm talking

487
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:02,100
like a 40 plus because 40 plus
yards completely change,

488
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:04,800
everything changes field
position, it changes play called

489
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,700
Dynamics If you're at the right
spot obviously on the field.

490
00:29:09,700 --> 00:29:12,600
You almost feel like we're in
scoring position now.

491
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,300
Yeah.
I mean it's definitely

492
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:18,200
definitely isn't Khalil Herbert
on the outside Zone finding an

493
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,300
ally, slipping one tackle
getting to the sidelines and

494
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:23,800
just out running everybody,
we're not doing that this year.

495
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,200
Not at all the opportunities.
I think are there.

496
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,200
They just have to get
consistently and put the guys in

497
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,800
the right spots.
Alright Braun.

498
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,800
Hey John.
How's it going?

499
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,200
John?
All right.

500
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,300
What did I say earlier?
Just want to put this back on.

501
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:48,000
Now earlier in the preseason,
about all these young wide

502
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,200
receivers he's and he was hyping
on to the Moon.

503
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,000
Yep.
And we've seen barely any from

504
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,000
Jalen Jones, Dwayne Lofton and
very little Joy, Jane call you,

505
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,300
it's finally starting to come on
the last couple weeks.

506
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,700
Well, here's what I'm going to
go with Brian.

507
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:08,500
If I hear him, say that, if he's
here next year and I hear him

508
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:11,900
say it.
My first thought is where he's

509
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:15,700
talking about at least two of
those guys are injured because

510
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:21,000
that Jen is the case, Jalen
Jones, injured, getting close to

511
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,900
coming back, Jaden pay.
You'd obviously, we saw him on

512
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:28,000
the field, the last couple weeks
but was fighting a hamstring

513
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,300
injury, so I Limited in terms of
the snap count because of that

514
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:34,200
hammies.
It looks like he is plotting his

515
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,700
way into Health at this point
like the ham.

516
00:30:37,700 --> 00:30:41,600
He's good to go, just he's not
quite full speed in terms of

517
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,700
getting his conditioning and
everything back where it needs

518
00:30:43,700 --> 00:30:49,500
to be Jalen.
Obviously been injured since

519
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:54,800
pretty much the end of fall
Camp, so been nice to know.

520
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:57,300
No, some of that information as
to why he's not seeing the field

521
00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:01,600
and do on Lofton, I mean, he's
had had some good run out there.

522
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:07,400
But I mean, in terms of
consistency, you know, we've had

523
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:10,100
to be on Robinson has probably
been our most.

524
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:12,800
Consistent receiver, whereas
trays been the bigger play

525
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,600
threat.
Yeah, Tavian has been the most

526
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:20,000
consistent threat.
So it's he Loft and probably

527
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,400
hasn't quite as many
opportunities one with with tabi

528
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,100
on having that much success on
the field.

529
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:30,400
So we definitely need to rotate
them in because we cannot have

530
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:32,600
those big three you know, along
with Caleb's.

531
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:39,300
Smith, they're playing 85% of
the snaps in this office needs

532
00:31:39,300 --> 00:31:42,200
to be, at least like at least
down 10 percentage points,

533
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,600
right?
Yeah.

534
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:46,400
You want to see him only, you'd
like to see them on the field

535
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,900
for productive plays?
I would say between, Eight and

536
00:31:51,900 --> 00:31:55,500
twelve actual plays.
So at least one what would be

537
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:58,800
one fold drive and we're not
even close to that.

538
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,700
I mean Lofton has one catch in
four games, so he's been on the

539
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:05,700
field a few times but again, it
goes back to utilization Brian

540
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,900
utilization and they're not
utilizing them correctly and

541
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:13,700
hopefully we'll pay you coming
back.

542
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:16,700
Especially having this week off
and lean up the next week.

543
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:19,800
Hopefully the coming-out parties
against Notre Dame, which I'm

544
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,100
sure you saw today is a
celebration.

545
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,900
All out.
So now that one early announce

546
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:28,000
the very which is not shocking,
it's not shocking whatsoever.

547
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,600
For also be a ton of people
putting those on a secondary

548
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,400
Market.
Essentially selling those

549
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,500
tickets to pay for next year's
full season tickets.

550
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,300
Yeah.
And, and, and kinda bad move.

551
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:40,800
I respect you.
I respect the hustle.

552
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:47,900
Exactly 7:00. 7:30, I mean,
that's that's a weekend if you

553
00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:51,000
do, it will pick one next year,
and they'll buy next year for

554
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,400
the Winning seasons tickets and
it'll go on and on like that.

555
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,900
All right.
I mentioned a few things about

556
00:32:56,900 --> 00:32:59,500
Braxton.
Now, he talked about, he needed

557
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:03,300
to reach another level of
efficiency in sort of

558
00:33:03,308 --> 00:33:08,200
self-ownership saying, you know,
it's our job to get in there

559
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,900
again.
I feel like in these, this press

560
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:16,100
conference, I've heard more, you
know, owning things, then maybe

561
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:21,200
in the previous five years
combined anytime I like The

562
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,800
language, but if I don't see
change, then it's just, it's all

563
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:25,800
for naught.
Yeah.

564
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:31,300
Lip service, isn't it?
It is, I appreciate the

565
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:35,100
ownership show.
Me, well, I would have to, you

566
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:37,400
would have gotten a whole lot
more respect from the ownership

567
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,300
two to three years ago.
I'm past just owning it being

568
00:33:41,300 --> 00:33:44,500
okay, show me show you
something.

569
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,000
But I mean, as he highlighted,
the, I mean, the big thing is

570
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,400
that, you know, we have done
overall, a really good job of

571
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,800
protecting the Ball.
Well, yeah.

572
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:59,300
And then that alone that alone
is probably this offense as much

573
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:01,100
as any that.
You know what, we what we are

574
00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:06,200
able to generate, you know, we,
you know, we have we haven't

575
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,800
done a whole lot of we've shot
ourselves in the foot, in other

576
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,199
ways, but we have not shot
ourselves in the foot and in

577
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,199
giving the ball over in key
areas.

578
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:17,300
So, one time, one time, when we
decided to put the backup

579
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:20,600
quarterback at the 6 yard line,
which tells me a lot about who's

580
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,100
paying Tension out there.
But yeah if you know you take

581
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:29,400
that playaway just Braxton, it's
been three in four games.

582
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:35,100
And can I be honest?
That's why we're three in one.

583
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,500
if you say we were at somewhere
between, if we were at Double

584
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:44,699
that or put a few more turnovers
on the board, Two and two.

585
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:51,600
Probably lost UNC.
So, you know, again, it's a mean

586
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,500
the game against Richmond, was
way closer than we wanted to be.

587
00:34:54,500 --> 00:34:58,200
I mean, we never felt like truly
threatened, but at the same time

588
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,700
it was close enough where, you
know, you had to think about it,

589
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:05,700
right?
Exactly, um, he mentioned the

590
00:35:05,700 --> 00:35:10,000
coastal being good for us even
if it's not good.

591
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,400
For the conference conference is
just completely down this year.

592
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,500
Could someone get in, yes, The
only reason I say that Braun.

593
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:23,400
Everything in a mentioned this
to people heard on the radio,

594
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,200
this is smelling like 2007
again.

595
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:33,200
We're hearing, it's constant
chaos, top tens teams are losing

596
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:39,700
every week in this with it.
I think we're going to see that.

597
00:35:39,700 --> 00:35:42,000
So we're going to probably see
at some point.

598
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
It's going to level out where
we're going to see a few less

599
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,700
but then as soon as it gets
close to rivalry week again, You

600
00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:50,100
going to see it ratchet right
back?

601
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:52,100
It's going to go through the
roof.

602
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:56,200
And you remember Robert week of
those seven, just, I mean, like

603
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,200
LSU lose an Arkansas and that
crane, weird.

604
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,700
A McFadden went just nuts.
Yep.

605
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Then LS, you still got in the
national championship game.

606
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,300
Um, I do also like this from
filling day.

607
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,900
He talked about how by weeks
have changed for him, and it

608
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:15,100
didn't, he didn't really used to
believe, they were any

609
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:19,000
different.
And now he does. think that's

610
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,900
just now some guy who has
coached close to twenty years

611
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,500
where in the beginning it's
probably I just want to keep the

612
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:31,000
guys going and keep them
involved and keep them where now

613
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,600
it's Well now I can step back.
I can let the kids breathe.

614
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,000
I like the program breathing,
step back and look at what's

615
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,100
going wrong.
Now, I record out of the by

616
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:49,300
weeks not the greatest, I
wouldn't three, the last three

617
00:36:49,300 --> 00:36:52,900
seasons.
So hopefully he reflects upon

618
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:57,100
something and he changes on this
week to result in a win.

619
00:36:58,100 --> 00:37:03,300
Yeah, we haven't been great out
of buys last three years.

620
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,600
Really for years, I think.
Four in a row.

621
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,300
We've lost a couple of those
have been against decent to

622
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:15,200
above-average competition but a
couple of those were stinkers.

623
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:22,100
So you know when you play a
Notre Dame coming out of a by

624
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:24,300
this will be what the second
time we played Notre Dame coming

625
00:37:24,300 --> 00:37:30,500
out of a by and yep played an 18
and yep until the Willis

626
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:36,000
fumblerooski.
Was within three now.

627
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,900
What's your point game?
He fumbled it.

628
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:41,000
They go score 10.
Come out the second half, pop

629
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,100
that big playoff and optimism.
Yeah, the next thing you know,

630
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,200
it's it's still a good game
because we continue to fight but

631
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,200
you know and then last year the
such a funky year.

632
00:37:54,500 --> 00:37:56,100
Oh yeah.
Last year we had play Clemson.

633
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,800
Yep.
So so it's one of those things

634
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:07,400
like Like yes, he's 013.
But then on the other hand, you

635
00:38:07,408 --> 00:38:10,600
get to say what he also had to
play two playoff teams.

636
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:15,100
The other two, I don't Duke was
one of them was Georgia Tech one

637
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:21,200
of them.
Georgia Tech not in 19.

638
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:26,300
That was dude.
That was do you okay?

639
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:28,200
Yeah, probably because
everybody's like is when you

640
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,900
make the quarterback change
because you have two weeks.

641
00:38:29,900 --> 00:38:34,600
Yeah, so in reality of the three
seasons, it's been two Elite

642
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,800
teams and Duke and we know what
was happening in 19 in that

643
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,400
room.
So again, let's hope he figures

644
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,300
out the right him, getting
things 7 to nothing. 17, was

645
00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:50,000
Georgia, Tech, and I think that
was just an average Georgia Tech

646
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,300
Team.
So yeah, very likely.

647
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,500
All right, well, let's jump.
Off the head coach, let's go

648
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:58,700
over to the defensive room.
Brian J Hamm, he opened up

649
00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:00,300
talking about the linebacker
room.

650
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:07,200
Would you hear from him?
I mean likes Dak says he kind of

651
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,800
quarterback of the defense,
bring the energy and effort the

652
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:15,300
passion, really likes the way
Tisdale's coming along in the

653
00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:18,600
defense.
Both of them have done a good

654
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,500
job, leading the team in
tackles, you know, wanted to

655
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:24,500
there.
So I think that's big huge.

656
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,500
Somehow, you know, when you're
inside linebackers and I know in

657
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:29,500
general, this is a good thing
when you're inside, linebackers

658
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:31,700
are leading the team in tackles,
that's what you like to see,

659
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,700
means they're taking care of the
trash, not a lot, skidding past

660
00:39:34,700 --> 00:39:37,500
the second level of the defense,
so that's good.

661
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:42,300
And he talked about, you know,
he shot an artist and Indian

662
00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:46,100
getting in there and, and making
some noise in the opportunities.

663
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:48,300
They've had.
They've absolutely made noise.

664
00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:52,300
I mean, we've seen little, if no
drop-off on those two, guys are

665
00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:56,000
on the field subbing Which is
really good because dachshund

666
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,900
tis do play, a tons of special
teams play.

667
00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:03,800
So having two guys that you
trust to just go out there and

668
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,200
run your defense.
I wish he would have mentioned a

669
00:40:08,207 --> 00:40:14,300
little more about Tomorrow, he's
role as playing that nickel Mike

670
00:40:14,900 --> 00:40:17,600
or the nickel linebacker
position because that has really

671
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,400
helped us to defend
significantly.

672
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,700
Should be talked about more on
how he's went to that, but he

673
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:27,500
hasn't and again, we talked
about it earlier and I think you

674
00:40:27,508 --> 00:40:30,700
said you were a little nervous
about what a little nervous

675
00:40:30,700 --> 00:40:34,600
about Dean and Keyshawn.
They've alleviated all worries

676
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,400
that is probably the best death
room.

677
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:40,300
Maybe in the entire team is the
linebacker room.

678
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:44,500
Hi brownie, maybe Corner, maybe
Corner would be the only other

679
00:40:44,500 --> 00:40:47,100
one.
I feel like you can meet on, you

680
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:49,500
know, five or six years ago.
It's true then.

681
00:40:49,900 --> 00:40:54,700
Alright, the next thing I talked
about was he was talking about,

682
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:57,200
you know, he was giving the
complimentary feel position,

683
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:02,100
chili calling out Peter Moore
and it is true, right?

684
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:06,900
Ron the, for the back of team
up, the more opportunities, it's

685
00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:09,300
the defense is going to attack,
you're not on your heels, you're

686
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:12,600
not thinking about In play and
shoot, they can take it to the

687
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,400
house.
And again, we've we mentioned we

688
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,700
continue to mention Peter More
Steam and I know he's a punter,

689
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:22,700
y'all, but their football
players to in the way.

690
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:27,100
We've had a play ball this year.
He has been a weapon.

691
00:41:28,100 --> 00:41:31,800
And for the defense, I'm sure
when they see all right, Pete's,

692
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,700
gonna boot one, we're going,
we're going to have them inside

693
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:37,500
the 15 and if they make a
boo-boo we're going to be able

694
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:40,500
to force a turnover and be on
the doorstep.

695
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,800
Yeah, that's been the big thing.
I know we've talked about it

696
00:41:44,808 --> 00:41:48,300
already, but Peter more,
flipping the field for us,

697
00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:53,000
really, not really a known
quantity in terms of what to

698
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,800
expect from him this year,
right?

699
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,500
Well we really didn't know what
to expect and he's really come

700
00:41:58,500 --> 00:42:01,800
out and answered all, the all
the bells that have been kind of

701
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:07,000
putting his way there, except
for throwing a 25 yard pass to

702
00:42:08,100 --> 00:42:13,100
Dorian strong on the fake punt.
That's about the only negative

703
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:16,300
play he's and I think he's had
maybe one other one punt the

704
00:42:16,300 --> 00:42:20,400
whole season that wasn't what
like 40 + yd.

705
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,500
So he's been bun.
Mmm.

706
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:31,900
And doing a good job just kind
of you know controlling emotions

707
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:34,800
and the heat of those moments.
So kudos to him.

708
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,500
Exactly.
Alright then he sort of talked

709
00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:41,800
about this week just to self
Scout a little bit.

710
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:47,500
You know I like the way he
talked about basically Carolina,

711
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:52,300
they played with Reckless
abandon For that being in the

712
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:55,400
last three game, they have
played a little more

713
00:42:56,300 --> 00:42:57,800
conservative, might have cost
us.

714
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,100
It was specifically talking
about up front, right?

715
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:05,200
Yafeng 7 right there at the
defensive line and he was also

716
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,000
kind of talking about how the
other offensive has.

717
00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:12,900
He's not been able to go as
Reckless, which is good, which

718
00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:16,500
tells me ham, understands, I
can't can't.

719
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:18,600
I cannot attack this type of
offense.

720
00:43:19,700 --> 00:43:22,600
This is going to be.
This isn't a slugfest, it's

721
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:27,300
almost think of a boxer, right?
You've got guys like Floyd

722
00:43:27,300 --> 00:43:30,500
Mayweather who can jab box, not
going to knock you out, but

723
00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:32,100
going to win the fight.
Yep.

724
00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:36,800
And then you've got guys like
Tyson would knock you out.

725
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,600
Then you kind of guys had guys
there in the middle, you know,

726
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,300
if you, if you think back you
look way back.

727
00:43:42,300 --> 00:43:45,900
You think you like Sugar, Ray
Robinson, who were just

728
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:48,700
technical Fighters, but could
lay the boom on you when they

729
00:43:48,700 --> 00:43:50,200
needed to?
Yeah.

730
00:43:50,500 --> 00:43:53,200
So what I'm seeing from ham and
I'll take that analogy.

731
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:58,600
Is he knows.
We can throw this at these guys.

732
00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:03,600
It's not going to hurt us.
He knows I got to be careful

733
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,800
these, this team can make a big
play.

734
00:44:07,300 --> 00:44:12,200
So again, it just shows you sort
of the the intelligence he has

735
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,000
on defense knowing, you know, I
can slug.

736
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,500
I could jab on this team.
If we get up 10, I can talk

737
00:44:19,500 --> 00:44:23,200
don't hate makers.
Yeah, I think that's good.

738
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,900
Kind of, knowing knowing where
to dial up, you know, that

739
00:44:27,900 --> 00:44:34,200
aggressiveness and we talked
about the line of Carolina and,

740
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,100
you know, when you look at them,
statistically it Makes sense.

741
00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:40,100
Why you throwing it out there
because, you know, some of the

742
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:44,300
grades on their running backs.
Last year were through the roof,

743
00:44:44,300 --> 00:44:48,600
but the grades on their
offensive line were consistently

744
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,400
below.
So their running backs were

745
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:56,000
making the line look good.
And they, I mean ham essentially

746
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,100
made the wager that they'll be
fine at running back, but

747
00:45:00,100 --> 00:45:02,200
they're not going to be what
they were last year.

748
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,800
We can take some chances and,
you know, they might break one

749
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,900
here, one there.
There, we feel better about

750
00:45:07,900 --> 00:45:10,600
ourselves on the back end to
make sure that doesn't turn into

751
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,200
a big play.
Let's get aggressive and try to

752
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,100
force some of those tackles for
loss and they did exactly.

753
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:20,400
All right.
Brian, he really went pretty

754
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:25,900
deep into the DL defensive line
talking about how it's been

755
00:45:25,900 --> 00:45:27,800
really key, how he's rotated,
guys.

756
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:32,700
He gave credit to, he gave
credit to Monsters Inc.

757
00:45:34,100 --> 00:45:39,500
On the defensive line lesson,
one of the players that in the

758
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:41,900
pressures today you've got the
big guy Jace.

759
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,200
Do you got the little guy Bill,
right?

760
00:45:45,700 --> 00:45:47,700
Yep.
The Monsters Inc, defensive line

761
00:45:47,700 --> 00:45:49,800
coach is really keeping that
rotation good.

762
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,500
Keeping guys fresh.
And then obviously, the

763
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:55,900
questions came up about bar
know, you know, we know bar no

764
00:45:55,900 --> 00:45:57,800
logged on the stat sheet last
week.

765
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:02,900
But you know what, did, what he
had to say?

766
00:46:02,900 --> 00:46:06,200
What did you feel?
Feel is going on with bar, no

767
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,300
right now.
So he talked about how they're

768
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:14,700
running directly at him with the
running game, a lot, and sliding

769
00:46:14,700 --> 00:46:16,800
protection to him in the passing
game.

770
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,200
So that's taken that's taking
him out of some some of the

771
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,000
plays but that's also meaning
that other guys on that

772
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,600
defensive line or having more
one-on-one opportunities.

773
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,300
So I mean overall you know you
love having a guy that's filling

774
00:46:31,300 --> 00:46:35,000
up the stat sheet but you I
would rather have that defensive

775
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,700
line is a unit pulling pulling
numbers.

776
00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:41,200
And as long as they keep doing
what they are doing, I think we

777
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,200
can keep it rolling.
You know, would like to see him

778
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,300
adjust a little bit more to kind
of, what is being thrown at him,

779
00:46:48,300 --> 00:46:52,300
so he can kind of get back into
the impact player level there,

780
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,700
but it makes sense to see the
drop-off based on how they're

781
00:46:56,700 --> 00:47:00,200
playing him.
Now, I like that he seems to be

782
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,700
adjusting a little bit.
I like I said I think I

783
00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:06,600
mentioned in the Richmond recap,
you know seeing him walk down,

784
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,300
you know rushing.
Play, you know, 15, 20 yards,

785
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:12,300
downfield.
So, you know, he still finding

786
00:47:12,300 --> 00:47:15,800
ways to even when he's blocked
even when he's managed initially

787
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,800
to still get in there and make a
play.

788
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:22,000
So, that's good to see.
And the other thing Jam talked

789
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,500
about on the defensive line is
that cold Nelson is starting to

790
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:26,300
come along.
Yes, he is.

791
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,200
And getting getting him in.
There is going to be pretty big.

792
00:47:29,500 --> 00:47:37,100
I like the analogy used their
High motor low-maintenance, the

793
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,100
motor.
He About like they have to talk

794
00:47:39,100 --> 00:47:42,100
about shutting him down and I
told you you go back and

795
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:46,500
reminisce and the stories from
2002, that it reminds you of a

796
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:48,300
lot of what people said about
tap.

797
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,100
Yep.
And in that build coming in.

798
00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:56,200
He's similarly, built to
Darrell, unfortunately, he

799
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,800
missed that one year of getting
coach fine, but yeah, Cole

800
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,500
Nelson is officially part of the
defensive end rotation now.

801
00:48:03,100 --> 00:48:05,500
And then something else that
maybe didn't shock, may be

802
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:06,800
shocked.
A lot of people, if you didn't

803
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,900
hear, Wilfred Panay has been
making noise.

804
00:48:10,900 --> 00:48:15,600
Well, from Pune is pushing for
playing time and right?

805
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,300
I think you mentioned back in
the summer, you were like, well,

806
00:48:19,300 --> 00:48:22,800
with his body.
It's a chance that he could take

807
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,000
a big step.
Yeah.

808
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,700
And it's good to see him picking
up things in a similar fashion

809
00:48:28,700 --> 00:48:30,800
to the speed.
That that bar, no picked up

810
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,800
things.
Last offseason, you know,

811
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,800
hopefully, we can start seeing
you in the field probably in

812
00:48:36,808 --> 00:48:39,600
terms of size.
As a little more aligned with

813
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:44,900
the traditional size and speed
of a defensive end, not quite

814
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:48,500
the freak athlete of bar, no,
but but definitely athletic and

815
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:51,800
can make some plays there.
So I'm looking forward to seeing

816
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,700
what he can bring to the table
now that we've kind of

817
00:48:53,700 --> 00:48:55,700
on-boarded him to that defensive
end position.

818
00:48:56,100 --> 00:48:57,800
Absolutely.
And Brian you mentioned about

819
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,900
them running at bar know you
would kind of think the guy

820
00:49:00,900 --> 00:49:04,800
who's been in that position it's
going to hurt us now we're we

821
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:09,300
have went almost 50 yards or
less per A game rushing almost a

822
00:49:09,300 --> 00:49:13,400
full yard per attempt down last
year, we were about at five this

823
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,600
year about it for, so clearly
them running at him.

824
00:49:16,900 --> 00:49:20,100
He's obviously holding up in
that which is great to hear, not

825
00:49:20,100 --> 00:49:23,600
only for the defense in general,
but for him in general because

826
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,100
we know he has to pass rush
skills.

827
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,200
He starts showing where he is a
good run Defender, the stocks

828
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,600
going higher and higher with
them.

829
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,500
Well, I think the thing is like,
you know, they are running at

830
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:39,700
him which does neutralize him to
a point but he's not The fact

831
00:49:39,700 --> 00:49:43,200
he's not getting blown out where
it's creating craters in the

832
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,100
defense at other levels.
I think that definitely bodes,

833
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:49,800
well, long term because it means
that, you know, yes, he is, he's

834
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,300
not necessarily being able to
impact the play, but he's not

835
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,200
getting taken out of the play
where he's creating problems for

836
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,800
other players on defense.
Very true.

837
00:49:58,500 --> 00:49:59,700
All right, let's flip it over
it.

838
00:49:59,707 --> 00:50:04,800
Let's talk about the corn
presser and let's talk about the

839
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,700
offensive line first for on your
bed and butter.

840
00:50:06,700 --> 00:50:09,300
There he And we need more than
five guys.

841
00:50:09,700 --> 00:50:12,100
Well, we had more than five
guys.

842
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:17,600
And then somehow We ran people
away.

843
00:50:18,700 --> 00:50:20,700
Nestor obviously, starting to
run.

844
00:50:20,700 --> 00:50:25,000
It West Virginia and Hudson
significantly in the rotation in

845
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,800
Louisville.
Where, you know, if you have

846
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,100
those guys, you don't have to
talk about depth.

847
00:50:29,100 --> 00:50:33,000
You are deep if because you had
Kate and take the step up, if

848
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,100
Johnny transfer in, you're
probably as deep as you were

849
00:50:36,100 --> 00:50:37,700
last year.
Yeah.

850
00:50:37,700 --> 00:50:40,700
And I'm not sure if you have a
Johnny transfer in if you have

851
00:50:40,700 --> 00:50:43,900
those other two guys that that's
up in the air, but, you know,

852
00:50:43,900 --> 00:50:47,700
you're at least solid in your
Verse 5 and have one swing guy.

853
00:50:47,700 --> 00:50:51,200
You can count on with Caden
stepping into that other role

854
00:50:52,500 --> 00:50:55,300
probably still would be a little
questionable at tackle, just

855
00:50:55,300 --> 00:50:59,100
because you'd probably end up
having to have Nestor be kind of

856
00:50:59,100 --> 00:51:03,200
a guard tackle combo because we
were going to be thin at tackle

857
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,100
this year.
Almost regardless, the question

858
00:51:07,100 --> 00:51:10,500
at this point is going to be,
would Nestor playing a tackle,

859
00:51:10,500 --> 00:51:14,000
whether it be right or left have
made this line a significant

860
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,100
upgrade or would it Then on the
similar level, that we've been

861
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:19,000
at, I think you would have
definitely been a little better.

862
00:51:20,500 --> 00:51:23,800
Yeah.
Because thank, you know, even

863
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,300
though he does occasionally
struggle in past Pro, I think,

864
00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:29,700
you know, his his floor and
passed Pros a lot higher than

865
00:51:29,700 --> 00:51:32,300
some of the others we've seen so
far.

866
00:51:32,700 --> 00:51:37,200
And, you know, we know he's good
in the run in the Run game so I

867
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,600
would have liked to see what
that could have been.

868
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,800
But, you know, alas, it didn't
work out that way.

869
00:51:43,700 --> 00:51:45,500
So, you know, we're dealing with
this situation.

870
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,600
Beijing where we've got brought
kind of moving all over the

871
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:53,000
line.
The last couple weeks you played

872
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,200
some right tackle against West
Virginia played left guard,

873
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:02,300
almost primarily against
Richmond, hasn't had a great

874
00:52:02,300 --> 00:52:09,100
year so far, I think he
definitely would like to place a

875
00:52:09,100 --> 00:52:11,900
lot more consistently than he's
played this year.

876
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,400
He's not playing at the level,
he was playing.

877
00:52:15,500 --> 00:52:18,500
Last year and last year, he
played at a pretty good level,

878
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:21,100
but he cost us with, with the
mental stuff.

879
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,900
Yeah, that's intuitive.
The mental is went away, but

880
00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:28,900
he's not, he's not impacting the
game with his physicality in the

881
00:52:28,900 --> 00:52:30,300
same way.
And that we need to find a

882
00:52:30,308 --> 00:52:34,300
balance with that, you know, I
don't know if, if gearing down

883
00:52:34,300 --> 00:52:38,400
has caused his intensity to kind
of go away in the between the

884
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:43,000
whistles or what, but he's not
playing at that same level, so

885
00:52:43,300 --> 00:52:47,100
it's very true now.
Brad mentioned that they're

886
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:50,600
looking at getting Silas back
into the rotation, I'm assuming

887
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,500
that's going to be Notre Dame,
but then for Wednesday

888
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:57,200
mentioned, he liked the starting
five, there were out there on

889
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:01,200
Saturday.
I'm blending these two together.

890
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,700
Brian.
Do you think when we come out

891
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:08,800
against Notre Dame?
Do you think our line is lettuce

892
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,300
myth?
That left tackle Rockoff minute

893
00:53:11,300 --> 00:53:14,500
left guard, Johnny, its Center
Silas Dan Z.

894
00:53:14,500 --> 00:53:17,600
At Right Guard, Luke 2 Nu du at
right.

895
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:22,300
Tackle with obviously came or
getting some snaps and

896
00:53:22,300 --> 00:53:25,800
potentially maybe Tyrell Smith
or maybe not Tyrell Smith

897
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:30,800
getting some snaps.
I think more than likely, they

898
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,500
keep Lucy this Smith at left
tackle, I think that is going to

899
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,700
okay, give us the most
consistently because it gives us

900
00:53:38,700 --> 00:53:43,700
our best overall lineman at the
most important position, right?

901
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,100
Yeah.
Because even, even with tackles

902
00:53:48,100 --> 00:53:51,200
that are true, tackles that have
a little bit more, little bit

903
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,500
more speed getting out of the
snap.

904
00:53:55,100 --> 00:53:58,400
He's not he's not any worse off
than they are.

905
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,000
And he's been much more
consistent both in the past game

906
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,500
and the Run game and the in
terms of his protection that

907
00:54:05,500 --> 00:54:08,700
really, anybody else on the
line, I would definitely keep

908
00:54:08,700 --> 00:54:13,500
his consistency at that left
tackle position and then kind of

909
00:54:13,500 --> 00:54:17,500
fill in everywhere else, you
know, Brock despite his kind of

910
00:54:17,508 --> 00:54:20,600
subpar play overall.
Definitely gives us flexibility

911
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:24,700
there because he can play across
the entire interior of the line

912
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,700
and slide out to tackle if
absolutely necessary.

913
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,600
Yeah.
So, that gives you a little bit

914
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,700
little options there.
So, yeah, I would definitely

915
00:54:32,700 --> 00:54:34,200
keep Lucy.
This myth out there at left

916
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,800
tackle and then kind of figure
out what other makeup of the

917
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,600
line is kind of your best five,
and hopefully have one or two

918
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,200
guys in the hole that can kind
of slide in when necessary or

919
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,300
get you whether to give a
breather or whether to jump in.

920
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:50,900
If there's a Nick that's you
know somebody has to come out of

921
00:54:50,900 --> 00:54:53,100
the game.
Exactly.

922
00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:54,900
All right.
Next thing we're going to live.

923
00:54:54,900 --> 00:54:57,200
He did make a few comments about
Braxton.

924
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,300
I want to hit on a couple of
those Those brine.

925
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,500
All right, first of all, he
admitted completely.

926
00:55:02,500 --> 00:55:05,500
He is disappointed in how
Braxton's played the first four

927
00:55:05,500 --> 00:55:09,000
games.
You know, he did kind of admit.

928
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,100
He has to look in the mirror
himself on that too.

929
00:55:11,500 --> 00:55:15,200
He also admitted that there's
still a chance for him to take a

930
00:55:15,207 --> 00:55:18,500
step and that step is definitely
needed in the next coming, eight

931
00:55:18,500 --> 00:55:22,300
games because 23 points are not
going to cut it, but he talked

932
00:55:22,300 --> 00:55:26,100
about his athleticism has helped
them now, Brian you said

933
00:55:26,100 --> 00:55:29,100
something to me?
Right?

934
00:55:29,100 --> 00:55:33,700
You're a little bit upset about
well, yeah, he has this but

935
00:55:33,700 --> 00:55:38,900
Brad, you're not helping him.
Yeah, I think that's that's the

936
00:55:38,900 --> 00:55:43,300
thing I'd like to see is that we
need to make out the gate and I

937
00:55:43,300 --> 00:55:46,900
think this is what, what
frustrates me the most is that

938
00:55:46,900 --> 00:55:50,500
we need to get Braxton
comfortable out, the gate, and

939
00:55:50,500 --> 00:55:53,900
keep him comfortable in that
second drive because we've had,

940
00:55:53,900 --> 00:55:56,100
we've seen him have success on
an opening drive.

941
00:55:56,100 --> 00:56:01,200
I've seen him come out a little
flat when he's had success.

942
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,900
We haven't seen that coupled
with a second drive that kind of

943
00:56:03,900 --> 00:56:07,300
gives him that confidence where
he's really building a pain that

944
00:56:07,900 --> 00:56:12,400
I think at this point we need to
be a little bit better with with

945
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:16,900
the script and with how we how
we get into our second drive and

946
00:56:16,900 --> 00:56:19,800
and make that a little more
consistent get, you know, get up

947
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:24,100
10 points, get up, 14 points,
get to scores, you know, in the

948
00:56:24,107 --> 00:56:29,000
first quarter and start putting
pressure, not only on the other

949
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,600
team, but also give Braxton the
confidence where that, you know,

950
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,200
if they do come back and put
some points on the board, he's

951
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,800
ready to go out there and move
the Ball down the field again.

952
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:42,500
You know, some of its confidence
I got playing with confidence is

953
00:56:42,500 --> 00:56:45,100
willing to take a little more
calculated risk and some of that

954
00:56:45,100 --> 00:56:47,600
is what's needed right now as
well.

955
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,600
You know, pulling the trigger
when guys are open but it's

956
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:56,400
tight, pulling the trigger.
When, you know, you may not be

957
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:00,900
able to make the most accurate
throw, but if a guy's wide-open,

958
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:05,700
try to get it out there to him,
I think we need to see a little

959
00:57:05,700 --> 00:57:07,700
bit more of that.
That I don't want to see

960
00:57:07,700 --> 00:57:10,900
risk-taking necessarily in terms
of putting the ball in danger

961
00:57:10,900 --> 00:57:15,300
but you know, he can sling the
ball, he's got the capability,

962
00:57:15,300 --> 00:57:19,600
he's not going to drive it down
field, you know 45 50 yards on a

963
00:57:19,607 --> 00:57:23,100
dime outside the numbers, but he
can throw an accurate ball

964
00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:26,000
within that you know, that 30 40
yard range.

965
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,700
You know, when he needs to and
we need to let him rip it a

966
00:57:30,707 --> 00:57:33,000
little bit more and rip it with
confidence.

967
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,200
Because when he grips with
confidence, it looks a lot

968
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,800
better than He's out there and
looks like he's really

969
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,700
overthinking.
What he's doing with the

970
00:57:39,700 --> 00:57:42,500
football.
Well it looks a little profit

971
00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:45,800
explained with confidence.
It's the UNC game especially

972
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:50,500
first half when we start with
see it's UVA last year's, its

973
00:57:50,500 --> 00:57:54,200
most of the Clemson game, I
mean, it's weird when he's in

974
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:59,000
his bag he looks, it looks okay,
it's not great, but it looks, it

975
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:00,700
looks good.
You're fine with it.

976
00:58:00,900 --> 00:58:05,600
Well, the whole piece of it is,
when he starts easy, think about

977
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,300
the UNCA, Game, we started with
some easy, swing passes, a

978
00:58:09,300 --> 00:58:13,000
couple easy, you know,
relatively easy outside passes

979
00:58:13,500 --> 00:58:17,100
and the next thing you know, you
talk about that 45-yard past the

980
00:58:17,100 --> 00:58:19,800
tree where he put on the money
he felt good.

981
00:58:20,500 --> 00:58:24,000
He felt like I'm going to hit my
passes when you put them in

982
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,400
situations where your he's not
like that.

983
00:58:27,100 --> 00:58:29,800
You can see it and it's in his
body language and I'll tell you

984
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:34,400
something else run when we were
watching that interview Corns.

985
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:39,400
Body language is not good.
I got a feeling probably Sunday

986
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,200
is Fuente was talking about
asking question you think he got

987
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:46,200
dressed down?
I think there were definitely a

988
00:58:46,207 --> 00:58:48,700
lot of questions asked that he
didn't necessarily have the

989
00:58:48,700 --> 00:58:54,300
right on the, on the, the right.
Wavelength answer for corn

990
00:58:54,300 --> 00:58:58,000
definitely looked like he
embedded been a long week for

991
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,300
him so far and it was you know,
Tuesday worse.

992
00:59:03,100 --> 00:59:06,600
So That's going to be
interesting to see how that

993
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:11,700
develops going forward to see if
corn makes any sort of wholesale

994
00:59:11,700 --> 00:59:15,400
adjustments to get Braxton more
comfortable or whether it's

995
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,900
going to be kind of the same
old.

996
00:59:17,900 --> 00:59:21,000
Same old, just repetition
repetition and hope it.

997
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,300
Hope it works out exactly.
And I'm not discounting

998
00:59:24,300 --> 00:59:26,000
repetition.
Repetition is important.

999
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,500
If you don't wrap it, it's hard
to get.

1000
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:33,000
But at some point, we're four
weeks into the season.

1001
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,100
We should have seen it, click
into place a little bit faster

1002
00:59:37,700 --> 00:59:40,200
so I'm hoping that something
changes that causes that click

1003
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:44,500
to happen.
Well, it's got to be some now in

1004
00:59:44,500 --> 00:59:46,600
all, in all honesty, I'm going
to, I'm going to, I'm going to,

1005
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,500
I'm going to wrap this segment
with this statement by me and

1006
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:52,300
you looked at it and said, okay,
the ownerships there, right?

1007
00:59:52,700 --> 00:59:56,800
Yep.
He, he, he said this, and it

1008
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:01,100
basically says, this means all
of us have All of us kind of

1009
01:00:01,100 --> 01:00:02,700
taking a good hard.
Look in the mirror.

1010
01:00:02,700 --> 01:00:04,500
Starting with me.
Thank goodness.

1011
01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:08,100
He said, starting with me
because it is you because you

1012
01:00:08,100 --> 01:00:11,200
are the offensive coordinator
and just continue to find ways

1013
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,400
to continue to help each guy get
better more consistent, which

1014
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,600
was a theme of the entire press
conference.

1015
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,900
For most of the guys and finding
the best way to put our guys in

1016
01:00:19,900 --> 01:00:22,900
positions and have the chance to
make plays.

1017
01:00:24,100 --> 01:00:28,500
He's got to do it now.
And the reality is, if

1018
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:33,400
everything goes right Or not
everything goes, right?

1019
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:38,200
If if things are truly looked at
hard this week, I do think we

1020
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:43,100
might not hear about it but
there should be a change and

1021
01:00:43,100 --> 01:00:46,400
whether that's going to be in
the red zone, or something like

1022
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,800
that, you know?
Got to make a choice there.

1023
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:50,800
Brian.
Right.

1024
01:00:51,300 --> 01:00:54,000
Okay.
I know we're going to get into

1025
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:59,700
this a little bit more after the
break here, but we are cozies

1026
01:01:02,500 --> 01:01:09,300
Hey maybe one case had cozies a
ton, but but you know, before we

1027
01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:12,800
actually dive into it but before
we dive into Brian's review of

1028
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:16,500
essentially, the foo foundations
of offense, we are going to take

1029
01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:19,800
a quick balls for a message from
our digital Partners.

1030
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:24,800
All right guys, as we mentioned
at the top of the program, Brian

1031
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:30,800
did some deep dive analysis.
On the Justin Fuente, offense

1032
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,300
looking at TCU and his early
days, in at the Memphis offense,

1033
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:38,300
and brown pointed out a niche
and I started scratching it.

1034
01:01:38,700 --> 01:01:42,200
Hey, I found something just, you
know, just type something into

1035
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:46,400
Google and things pop up, and
it's like, oh, that's an hour

1036
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,800
and then Brian types of up,
that's an hour and 20 minutes

1037
01:01:50,100 --> 01:01:52,400
that's an hour.
Next thing you know, bronze

1038
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:55,300
hitting triple speed, trying to
watch multiple videos.

1039
01:01:55,500 --> 01:01:58,800
So Brian, let's start here.
We're going to take a look back

1040
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:04,400
at TCU from 2010 2010, was
essentially, the making of who

1041
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,700
Justin Fuente was, and how he
got here.

1042
01:02:08,700 --> 01:02:10,400
Yeah.
Well, Andy, Dalton, Jeremy

1043
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:16,100
Kerley, and absolute Stout Gary
Patterson defense at TCU they go

1044
01:02:16,100 --> 01:02:20,200
undefeated, they win the Rose
Bowl beating Wisconsin who had

1045
01:02:20,300 --> 01:02:26,400
JJ Watt amongst others on that
defense that year and Brian you

1046
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,400
looked at the Air Force.
Game in the Oregon State game,

1047
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,900
Oregon state that year was a
pretty good team.

1048
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:35,400
They were ranked when they
played them.

1049
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:41,200
So I'm going to kind of let you
go and tell me what you saw on

1050
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,200
the tape.
Yeah so I'll be I'll start this

1051
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:45,500
off.
I know we mentioned a little bit

1052
01:02:45,500 --> 01:02:50,100
earlier but this kind of came to
fruition as a result of

1053
01:02:50,100 --> 01:02:54,800
listening to the Jerrod Evans
interview on Davi Fridays.

1054
01:02:56,300 --> 01:03:00,200
That was kind of the Some of the
comments made about the offense

1055
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:05,700
of Paxton Lynch relative to what
Jerrod the keys that Gerard was

1056
01:03:05,700 --> 01:03:09,300
given when he got to Virginia
Tech and and the juxtaposition,

1057
01:03:09,300 --> 01:03:12,900
there was kind of what got this
thing rolling in my head would

1058
01:03:12,900 --> 01:03:16,900
cause Curtis to start digging
and then what caused me to spend

1059
01:03:16,900 --> 01:03:21,700
several hours watching Tate.
It's kind of the culmination of

1060
01:03:21,700 --> 01:03:23,500
all that.
So, yeah, that's good.

1061
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:27,300
I'm watching the tape but I I'm
like, what are they doing?

1062
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:34,000
So, you know, Oregon state was,
I think they open with Oregon

1063
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,100
state that year, they were, I
think TCU was a top 10 team.

1064
01:03:37,100 --> 01:03:38,900
Oregon.
State was a top 25 team.

1065
01:03:39,100 --> 01:03:41,300
Yep.
When I was watching the game, I

1066
01:03:41,300 --> 01:03:45,600
saw a bunch of previews for the
Virginia Tech Boise, State game.

1067
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:49,500
So go ahead and, you know, cry
the tears on that one real

1068
01:03:49,500 --> 01:03:53,200
quick.
But you know, so I watch those

1069
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:57,100
two games, not a ton of
different things in those games.

1070
01:03:57,700 --> 01:04:01,100
Um, they did have a good dose of
speed option, so a little bit

1071
01:04:01,100 --> 01:04:05,700
more run-heavy than we've seen
in terms of the focal point of

1072
01:04:05,700 --> 01:04:08,800
the offense, but the things that
were different.

1073
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,200
The big thing is that they were
under Center a lot, especially

1074
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,400
in short yardage plays, they ran
a lot of play-action boots off.

1075
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,900
The off, the under Center looks
there, they were in pistol, a

1076
01:04:19,900 --> 01:04:24,900
lot, which we still incorporate
at Virginia Tech and, you know,

1077
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,800
it kind of this is where it kind
of started.

1078
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:30,200
So they ran Here they but they
also ran obviously the inverted

1079
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:34,700
v r which was kind of a
relatively New Concept at that

1080
01:04:34,700 --> 01:04:37,700
time.
They ran it with or without the

1081
01:04:37,700 --> 01:04:42,000
jet motion.
That's quick question.

1082
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:48,500
Veer explain because, you know,
Because some people associate

1083
01:04:48,500 --> 01:04:50,300
well I hear beer I think
read-option there.

1084
01:04:50,300 --> 01:04:53,300
It's different though, right?
So the read option is

1085
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:57,500
essentially running back.
Goes One Direction quarterback

1086
01:04:57,500 --> 01:04:59,300
is reading and go in the other
direction.

1087
01:04:59,300 --> 01:05:06,100
If he decides to keep it with
the Veer, you're essentially the

1088
01:05:06,100 --> 01:05:08,600
running back of the quarterback
or going the same direction,

1089
01:05:08,700 --> 01:05:10,400
just the running back is going
inside.

1090
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,500
The tackle, quarterbacks aiming
point is outside the tackle and

1091
01:05:13,500 --> 01:05:16,500
they're reading your both of
them are reading the defense.

1092
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:20,500
Banner outside edge Defender but
one is going.

1093
01:05:21,300 --> 01:05:23,400
They're both going the same
direction when they're going

1094
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:27,700
opposite direction.
So that's kind of the

1095
01:05:27,700 --> 01:05:30,700
difference.
Their quarterback Powers did

1096
01:05:30,700 --> 01:05:38,100
exist at TCU they were ran with
Effectiveness, Andy Dalton, you

1097
01:05:38,100 --> 01:05:41,100
know, isn't the Andy Dalton?
We see today, he had a little

1098
01:05:41,100 --> 01:05:44,100
bit more athleticism and is in
his early 20s there.

1099
01:05:44,100 --> 01:05:50,100
So, He was out there running
running with good frequency and

1100
01:05:50,100 --> 01:05:52,800
they were working a lot of the
bubble screen and then running

1101
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,900
some variations off that were
they would show up lock and then

1102
01:05:55,900 --> 01:06:02,000
kind of Escape up the sideline
either kind of a kind of a fade

1103
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,500
stop look or just kind of
finding a soft spot in the zone

1104
01:06:05,500 --> 01:06:06,700
there.
Okay.

1105
01:06:07,100 --> 01:06:10,700
Can I ask this Braun?
We don't see here are the times

1106
01:06:10,700 --> 01:06:13,100
we've seen in.
It's been absolutely miserable

1107
01:06:13,100 --> 01:06:14,800
failure.
I think Ryan Willis in the bowl

1108
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,800
game against Cincinnati. when
you go under Center in short,

1109
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:25,900
yardage, you know, some people
say, you know, Why does it help

1110
01:06:25,900 --> 01:06:28,600
so much?
I always think you go under

1111
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,800
Center on short.
Yardage a if it's third one and

1112
01:06:31,808 --> 01:06:35,900
a half you're running back is
getting a absolute full start

1113
01:06:35,900 --> 01:06:38,400
right?
We'll start line of scrimmage.

1114
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:43,100
Second they have to be wary of
sneaks your third and one and a

1115
01:06:43,100 --> 01:06:45,900
half.
Well, if I can get the ball here

1116
01:06:46,100 --> 01:06:49,300
and that Center can submarine.
I can just find the hole and get

1117
01:06:49,300 --> 01:06:53,500
into yours.
So why aren't we incorporating

1118
01:06:53,500 --> 01:06:55,100
that here?
I mean, I think a guy like

1119
01:06:55,100 --> 01:06:57,600
Jerrod Evans, I think it got
like hitting.

1120
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,500
I mean, Quincy if your
understanding those guys at one

1121
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:05,000
and a half or two yards, it's
like the Playbook is so open

1122
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:09,200
because it sounds really dumb.
Okay, takes time to teach

1123
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:13,800
quarterbacks at this level.
How to take a snap, because no

1124
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:15,800
one's doing it at the high
school level anymore, either.

1125
01:07:17,100 --> 01:07:19,100
No one's taking the snap under
Center.

1126
01:07:19,300 --> 01:07:23,000
Very few, very few High School
offenses that aren't triple

1127
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,800
option.
Have guys, taking the ball in

1128
01:07:25,808 --> 01:07:28,200
the center, which means the
actual quarterbacks that sling,

1129
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,700
the ball and not just running
backs playing quarterback.

1130
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,900
Have never taken an actual snap
under center, right?

1131
01:07:33,900 --> 01:07:38,300
So why would it take?
It takes time to wrap and I'm

1132
01:07:38,300 --> 01:07:40,700
guessing they just say, well
it's not worth it, but I think

1133
01:07:40,700 --> 01:07:44,300
it's absolutely worth it.
Not only for their development,

1134
01:07:44,300 --> 01:07:46,700
in terms of, you know, potential
NFL careers.

1135
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:52,000
But just when you get the ball
under Center, you're already

1136
01:07:52,700 --> 01:07:56,700
you're half yard behind where
the ball starting, instead of

1137
01:07:56,700 --> 01:08:01,100
five yards behind where the ball
starting, it's easier to push

1138
01:08:01,100 --> 01:08:04,100
the pile.
It's easier to find those gaps.

1139
01:08:04,100 --> 01:08:06,900
You got your running back.
That can kind of give you that

1140
01:08:06,900 --> 01:08:08,200
push.
You got your lime and that can

1141
01:08:08,207 --> 01:08:09,900
get behind you and give you that
push.

1142
01:08:09,900 --> 01:08:15,400
Where, if you're trying to run
that QB dive or QB power, and

1143
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:19,100
that short yardage play, It's a
lot easier for the Lima to get

1144
01:08:19,100 --> 01:08:21,800
penetration and make the
quarterback have to kind of

1145
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,800
redirect his route there.
We see that a lot.

1146
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:29,600
Yeah, so I would prefer us doing
a little bit more with that and,

1147
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,899
you know, I can talk a little
bit more about Memphis here in a

1148
01:08:31,907 --> 01:08:33,800
little bit because they do
something similar.

1149
01:08:34,500 --> 01:08:38,399
Alright, so something else you
mentioned Braun is in the me

1150
01:08:38,399 --> 01:08:43,100
kind of what we're missing this
year or easy passes and you

1151
01:08:43,100 --> 01:08:46,800
mentioned to me I think it was
like on the third or fourth.

1152
01:08:46,899 --> 01:08:51,800
Play of that Air Force game.
We looked at your like their own

1153
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:55,399
double digs their own double
digs on the sidelines.

1154
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,600
And essentially I think what was
like a scene in one guy was

1155
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:03,500
running a Crosser.
So, why are we seeing those

1156
01:09:03,500 --> 01:09:05,399
digs?
And that E-ZPass, I know you had

1157
01:09:05,399 --> 01:09:09,399
to pushing it down the field,
but at the corners playing 10

1158
01:09:09,399 --> 01:09:11,300
yards off and you're on a
5-yard, dig.

1159
01:09:11,300 --> 01:09:13,500
It's hit the third, step fire,
it.

1160
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,100
Put it on the right shoulder.
First, you got to make a tackle.

1161
01:09:17,100 --> 01:09:20,300
Why are we seeing easy passes?
Like that for Braxton?

1162
01:09:20,700 --> 01:09:24,800
Yeah, we're not working levels
of the defense, over the middle

1163
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:30,300
of the field at all.
They did more of that at TCU and

1164
01:09:30,300 --> 01:09:34,300
some of that at Office.
So it seems like some of these,

1165
01:09:35,100 --> 01:09:37,600
you know, middle middle of the
field levels Concepts.

1166
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:42,100
It's kind of kind of went the
way of the dinosaur slowly from

1167
01:09:42,100 --> 01:09:45,399
2010 to.
Now I'm not sure why I love a

1168
01:09:45,407 --> 01:09:49,399
good dig.
You know, whether you, whether

1169
01:09:49,399 --> 01:09:53,899
you hear me on here or or see me
on the timeline on Twitter, I am

1170
01:09:53,899 --> 01:09:59,200
always saying put the damn dig
in there. 15-yard dig should be

1171
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:04,800
a bread and butter route.
It's so good because we're we

1172
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,000
have a decent offense where we
can influence linebackers.

1173
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,800
If we don't throw the dig in
there, we're just letting that

1174
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:12,200
space.
Go to waste.

1175
01:10:14,100 --> 01:10:19,000
And I know we run a lot of like,
you know, post like slot post

1176
01:10:19,300 --> 01:10:23,500
which kind of does something
similar, but you can't work the

1177
01:10:23,500 --> 01:10:25,700
Zone.
The same way that you can with a

1178
01:10:25,700 --> 01:10:28,700
dig where you're running all the
way across the formation.

1179
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:31,700
So I'd like to see us be able to
do that.

1180
01:10:32,500 --> 01:10:34,100
All right?
So obviously we're seeing

1181
01:10:34,100 --> 01:10:38,800
elements that we have now still
as part of his foundation back

1182
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,200
at TCU, some things aren't
there, for whatever reason, we

1183
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,600
don't know that.
But let's go to the Memphis

1184
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:49,500
years again.
Don't lock the TCU years. 43

1185
01:10:49,500 --> 01:10:52,900
points, he averaged over, the
team was averaging over 40 down

1186
01:10:52,900 --> 01:10:57,700
in Memphis when corn and Dicky.
Where The Coho sees as for

1187
01:10:57,700 --> 01:11:02,500
Wednesday was a CO C at TCU,
Jerry Henderson with Jared

1188
01:11:02,500 --> 01:11:06,500
Anderson, who was?
I told you, when you said that,

1189
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:09,900
I look back, Back Anderson had
been on the staff at TCU 15

1190
01:11:09,900 --> 01:11:15,400
years give or take.
Yep, while Dickey had been in

1191
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,400
football close to 25 when he
joined that staff.

1192
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,900
At Memphis.
So what you were pairing is you

1193
01:11:22,900 --> 01:11:28,400
repairing Young guys with very
experienced, guys.

1194
01:11:28,500 --> 01:11:34,000
New school philosophy with
experienced, guys, that can kind

1195
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:39,900
of point out maybe blind spots
in these newer, newer systems.

1196
01:11:39,900 --> 01:11:41,500
Right?
Exactly.

1197
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:43,800
Alright, let's jump into it.
Let's get into.

1198
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,600
Memphis, you looked at the
Houston, the Ole Miss game, the

1199
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:50,800
Ole Miss upset that Justin
Fuente went from being a rising

1200
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,700
stars.
The o.c. and its first couple

1201
01:11:52,700 --> 01:11:54,400
years of Memphis, he knocks off
the Hugh.

1202
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,200
Freeze He's team a top 15 team
at that point in time.

1203
01:11:57,500 --> 01:12:00,200
What did you see from that game
and the Houston game?

1204
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:07,000
So similar to TCU, we actually
saw Paxton Lynch under Center,

1205
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:13,700
not a great deal, but in in
certain scenarios, so in if they

1206
01:12:13,700 --> 01:12:17,600
decided they wanted to pound the
ball between the tackles, okay?

1207
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:21,800
We go under Center and just hand
the ball off downhill.

1208
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:26,100
If they were in the red zone and
needed a couple yards, they

1209
01:12:26,100 --> 01:12:30,600
would get under Center going.
Downhill, run Paxton Lynch hand

1210
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:32,700
it off to there.
Running back running downhill

1211
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,400
quarterback Powers.
We're still employed in that

1212
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,700
offense.
So I mean the QB power is not

1213
01:12:39,700 --> 01:12:41,300
going away.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is a

1214
01:12:41,308 --> 01:12:43,400
consistent element of that run
game.

1215
01:12:43,500 --> 01:12:45,700
It is a staple of the Valente
offense.

1216
01:12:46,100 --> 01:12:49,100
Yep.
So when they were running the

1217
01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:53,700
read option, it was a lot more
inside Zone and kind of power

1218
01:12:53,700 --> 01:12:58,000
versus the outside Zone that we
are accustomed to.

1219
01:12:58,500 --> 01:13:03,100
Okay.
They ran probably more Veer and

1220
01:13:03,100 --> 01:13:05,700
inverted v r with or without jet
motion.

1221
01:13:06,100 --> 01:13:10,500
Even than TCU.
I think TC you really went full

1222
01:13:10,500 --> 01:13:11,400
inverted.
V r.

1223
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:15,100
I think towards the end of that
2010 season, especially in the

1224
01:13:15,100 --> 01:13:17,900
bowl game, I think it's one that
really had the big coming-out

1225
01:13:17,900 --> 01:13:24,900
party so we were starting to see
more of it at at Memphis there

1226
01:13:25,700 --> 01:13:29,900
and still a lot of bubble and
tunnel screens and variations

1227
01:13:29,900 --> 01:13:34,000
off of that.
Probably more more more tunnels

1228
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:38,300
screens than we run probably
less bubble screens than we run.

1229
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:44,700
Okay?
But the thing that like I saw

1230
01:13:44,700 --> 01:13:48,400
more of than I've been used to
recently as we they ran a lot

1231
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,400
more Slants to the slot receiver
and they actually targeted that

1232
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:54,200
in the offense consistently
whereas I feel like we go away

1233
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,200
from that in those because that
could be a bread-and-butter

1234
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,900
route for us when we need to
move the sticks and I feel like

1235
01:13:59,900 --> 01:14:03,800
we go away from it for so long.
And eventually we get back to it

1236
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,800
and it has some success for us
but we don't stick with that

1237
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:10,100
concept.
What what what it?

1238
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:13,300
Is the broken ask this?
Isn't that a manipulation play

1239
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:18,500
like running a 43-yard slant,
consistently bread and butter

1240
01:14:18,500 --> 01:14:22,200
and it eventually aren't you
going to eventually the mic or

1241
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:23,600
the back or whichever side of
the field?

1242
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:28,100
You're running to eventually.
If they see that predicament,

1243
01:14:28,300 --> 01:14:33,200
okay, they ran this three times.
I'm getting out of my lane and

1244
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:38,100
I'm going to try to stop it and
thus if that happens, if they

1245
01:14:38,100 --> 01:14:40,100
take that step out of the lane
you.

1246
01:14:40,300 --> 01:14:42,300
Throw you run something like a
draw.

1247
01:14:42,500 --> 01:14:44,800
Well, he's off balance, he's out
of position.

1248
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:47,300
We're about to have a nice
little spread open here.

1249
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:51,600
We'll remember, I forget if I
remember correctly.

1250
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,600
I think it was the, the big play
to Trey against Middle Tennessee

1251
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:59,300
State.
Where they jumped, what, what

1252
01:14:59,300 --> 01:15:04,400
looked like was that kind of
like a square in and then trade

1253
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:06,900
took in a field and got the big
gay.

1254
01:15:06,900 --> 01:15:08,500
The one that was underthrown
slightly.

1255
01:15:08,700 --> 01:15:13,400
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, I mean that's a similar

1256
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:16,200
type of concept that you're
talking about there where we had

1257
01:15:16,700 --> 01:15:19,800
ran a couple plays where they
were starting to key on what

1258
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:21,900
we're doing and we hit them with
something that kind of got them

1259
01:15:21,900 --> 01:15:24,800
out of position.
Still busted coverage, safety

1260
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:30,500
didn't realize what the what the
backer was doing and the backer,

1261
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:32,700
you know, just went in place
there.

1262
01:15:34,500 --> 01:15:37,400
Now, in terms of what they do in
the passing game, they still

1263
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,600
they didn't run that they ran
more slams than we did.

1264
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:43,100
But they also I did a little
different things outside the

1265
01:15:43,100 --> 01:15:44,300
numbers.
Okay.

1266
01:15:45,700 --> 01:15:49,100
So instead of just running the
true Fades, they ran a lot of

1267
01:15:49,100 --> 01:15:54,300
like Faith stops, and a lot of
like kind of back shoulder laser

1268
01:15:54,300 --> 01:15:58,400
throws.
And so that that's a little bit

1269
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:03,400
of a different different concept
than what we are seeing where

1270
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:07,400
we're, when we take the shots,
they are more straight Fades,

1271
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:10,000
right?
And I don't know if that's a

1272
01:16:10,100 --> 01:16:15,400
Personnel decision or if that's
a scheme decision but we're not

1273
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:18,800
seeing some of those kind of
Fate stops.

1274
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:22,000
And back shoulder throws that
were kind of Hallmarks of the

1275
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:27,300
Memphis offense.
All right, and it in obviously,

1276
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:33,900
Dicky and corn coatsy's there.
So again, we're seeing a lot of,

1277
01:16:34,500 --> 01:16:37,400
we're seeing a lot of similar
elements, but we're also seeing

1278
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,500
things that we don't see as much
anymore.

1279
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:45,100
Brian, as you start analyzing
this, you know, from what you

1280
01:16:45,100 --> 01:16:49,200
saw from really 10 years ago and
roughly 45 years ago.

1281
01:16:49,700 --> 01:16:52,400
Excuse me, six years ago, I get
that, right.

1282
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,500
What are you saying?
These are what you need to start

1283
01:16:55,500 --> 01:16:57,800
taking these elements and you
need to put them here.

1284
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:01,800
Not only with the quarterback we
have, but the offensive

1285
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:06,000
Personnel how we play defense
and the wide receiver in the

1286
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,900
weapons.
What do you want to see them

1287
01:17:07,900 --> 01:17:13,700
bring to Virginia, Tech from
what you see on the table, more

1288
01:17:13,700 --> 01:17:17,500
kind of middle middle routes.
So middle of the defense middle

1289
01:17:17,500 --> 01:17:23,100
depth, you know, starting with
those 15-yard dig starting with

1290
01:17:23,100 --> 01:17:26,200
with more consistent.
Slants from the slot position,

1291
01:17:28,100 --> 01:17:30,100
more cross-country kind of
crossers.

1292
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,500
I like to see see more of that.
And we can work that off play

1293
01:17:33,500 --> 01:17:36,200
action, where you get a little
bit more time there so those can

1294
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:40,800
kind of develop, right.
But a lot of this comes down to,

1295
01:17:41,900 --> 01:17:45,300
you know, we've said it play
sequencing and execution over

1296
01:17:45,300 --> 01:17:46,600
all.
Those are, those are still the

1297
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,700
areas that when I watch those
tapes.

1298
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:53,500
Memphis and TCU looked more
crisp running these plays than

1299
01:17:53,500 --> 01:17:55,800
we look consistently.
Can I ask this?

1300
01:17:57,300 --> 01:18:00,000
You watch this offense for five
years here, right?

1301
01:18:00,300 --> 01:18:02,900
Yep.
And you just watched four games.

1302
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:06,300
Probably close to.
I'm gonna guess close to 250

1303
01:18:06,300 --> 01:18:08,100
snaps.
Correct.

1304
01:18:08,300 --> 01:18:09,600
Give or take snaps.
Yeah.

1305
01:18:10,900 --> 01:18:14,100
Was there ever a time when
you're sitting there watching it

1306
01:18:14,300 --> 01:18:19,000
last couple days where you said
they're going to do this was

1307
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:22,200
there any time in point you were
able to key and say they're

1308
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:25,500
going to do this.
I mean I could see a Jet Sweep

1309
01:18:25,500 --> 01:18:30,700
coming a mile away but he was it
was a little more you know we

1310
01:18:30,700 --> 01:18:33,600
sometimes Telegraph what we're
doing in our priest at motion

1311
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:37,800
but then we work variations off
that to make to take that to

1312
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,000
take that away, take that
anticipation away.

1313
01:18:41,300 --> 01:18:45,900
So I think that's why it's a
little bit little bit hard

1314
01:18:45,900 --> 01:18:48,800
sometimes when we start games
because we start games with,

1315
01:18:49,300 --> 01:18:52,900
we're showing you what we're
showing you what to expect.

1316
01:18:53,300 --> 01:18:55,700
We'll see if you key on it and
then we'll then we'll give you a

1317
01:18:55,708 --> 01:18:58,000
variation of it.
All right?

1318
01:18:59,100 --> 01:19:00,600
All right.
I don't necessarily like that

1319
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:03,900
approach because I'd like to see
us sometimes come out and hit

1320
01:19:03,900 --> 01:19:08,100
them with something they haven't
seen okay and not you know save

1321
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:12,400
our load for when we get behind
No, hit them.

1322
01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:21,400
Yeah, I'd like to see the
variations and then, you know,

1323
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,700
get them to start thinking then
we can get back to our bread and

1324
01:19:24,700 --> 01:19:28,400
butters with the Jet Sweep that
you know, are more telegraphed.

1325
01:19:29,100 --> 01:19:32,600
All right, on Brian.
Do you feel like there's

1326
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:36,000
anything with those teams that
they had that we're missing?

1327
01:19:37,900 --> 01:19:42,000
We've had this this type of
player before but we don't

1328
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,200
necessarily have an established
version of it now and that's

1329
01:19:45,900 --> 01:19:49,800
kind of that Swiss army knife
h-back like Sam Rogers, our

1330
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:54,300
Dalton Keen Drake and Nick I
think are doing the best they

1331
01:19:54,300 --> 01:19:57,800
can but I don't think they're
quite where they need to be to

1332
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:01,300
run that position.
Consistently and, you know, we

1333
01:20:01,300 --> 01:20:04,500
were using James Mitchell has
kind of both a past catching

1334
01:20:04,500 --> 01:20:08,300
tight in and a Swiss Army knife
Because of how well he could

1335
01:20:08,300 --> 01:20:11,500
Block in space and not having
him.

1336
01:20:11,500 --> 01:20:14,000
His definitely started to hurt
this offense.

1337
01:20:14,500 --> 01:20:18,300
You know, say what you will
about us having decent depth at

1338
01:20:18,300 --> 01:20:21,000
the position.
Some of the things he was doing

1339
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:22,900
is hard to replace and they
didn't always show up on the

1340
01:20:22,900 --> 01:20:26,300
stat sheet.
All right, all right.

1341
01:20:26,300 --> 01:20:28,600
What about Braxton?
What's the difference between

1342
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:30,500
him?
And I mean, I'm not going to say

1343
01:20:30,508 --> 01:20:33,600
what's the difference between an
Andy Dalton, Andy Dalton was a

1344
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:37,100
starter for ten years, went to
five, you know, took the

1345
01:20:37,100 --> 01:20:40,400
Cincinnati Bengals to five
playoff games as many people

1346
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:44,900
that trash Andy, Dalton he took
the Bangles two playoff games.

1347
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:47,700
I think that's more than Boomer.
I think that's more than Carson

1348
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,000
and then, obviously Paxton was
one of those guys to me.

1349
01:20:51,900 --> 01:20:54,900
Thanks and have a lot of talent
packs and went to the worst

1350
01:20:54,900 --> 01:20:59,600
place he could go.
And follow you and iconic

1351
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:01,300
quarterback.
He wasn't like you know, you

1352
01:21:01,300 --> 01:21:04,900
were you were step if he to
follow Tebow you might have just

1353
01:21:04,900 --> 01:21:06,800
gave him a little bit more time
to kind of.

1354
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:11,100
Yeah attentively come into his
own but when you're when you're

1355
01:21:11,100 --> 01:21:15,600
following a legend and when
you're in a situation where if

1356
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:20,700
you don't win now their
consequences and there was yeah

1357
01:21:20,900 --> 01:21:22,900
and he's pretty much gone from
the league now.

1358
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:26,000
But what's the difference?
What's the difference between

1359
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:30,000
Burmeister and those two guys
where, you know, maybe the maybe

1360
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,300
the plays are in the Playbook,
And we're just not seeing them

1361
01:21:33,300 --> 01:21:37,500
because a Braxton, like I said
some of its sequencing but a lot

1362
01:21:37,500 --> 01:21:42,500
of it is really just the command
of the offense that they have

1363
01:21:42,500 --> 01:21:46,800
they they were comfortable and
some of that's from experience.

1364
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:51,000
But I mean at this point Braxton
has been in this offense going

1365
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:55,000
on three years now, through you
got, you got to be comfortable

1366
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:57,200
in this offense at this point if
you're going to be the starter.

1367
01:21:58,500 --> 01:22:02,000
But just overall command and
Lynch and Dalton.

1368
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:08,500
Could make those you know we
talk about the Fades versus kind

1369
01:22:08,500 --> 01:22:10,900
of those those back shoulders
and those Faith stops.

1370
01:22:11,500 --> 01:22:15,300
You've got to be able to put
some arm behind those type of

1371
01:22:15,308 --> 01:22:19,300
throws because they're they're
not Loft it up in the air where

1372
01:22:19,300 --> 01:22:23,100
your guy goes up and gets it.
They have to be in a spot on

1373
01:22:23,100 --> 01:22:25,900
time or it could potentially be
a pick.

1374
01:22:28,100 --> 01:22:30,600
Some of the some of that you
can't necessarily put in the

1375
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:33,100
offense, unless you've got a
quarterback that has that type

1376
01:22:33,100 --> 01:22:37,300
of arm and I think that's what's
missing and then some of the

1377
01:22:37,300 --> 01:22:40,300
just calculated risk and I think
that comes with the confidence

1378
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:44,800
because if you're confident in
the throes you're making, where

1379
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:49,700
your receivers are and your own
arm, you know, you'll

1380
01:22:49,700 --> 01:22:52,400
occasionally, take a little bit
of a calculated risk and squeeze

1381
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,600
one in there.
I saw packs and against Houston,

1382
01:22:55,600 --> 01:23:00,900
throw it between two Defenders
on a On a corner route that you

1383
01:23:00,900 --> 01:23:03,700
know, it was tight coverage but
there was a window and he got it

1384
01:23:03,700 --> 01:23:08,800
in there and sometimes you got
to make those throws. all right,

1385
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:12,400
so what I'm kind of hearing even
though he's been in the system

1386
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:18,000
for years, he's only played
technically Seven games now.

1387
01:23:19,700 --> 01:23:22,700
Yeah, he games a game.
Excuse me, he was he was three

1388
01:23:22,700 --> 01:23:28,000
in one last year so you know,
where Dalton and Paxton.

1389
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,500
Basically, by the time they got
to some of those years we're

1390
01:23:30,500 --> 01:23:33,100
looking at they've been in the
system two and three years and

1391
01:23:33,100 --> 01:23:37,000
not just in the system, but they
were at 20 plus games.

1392
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:41,000
And I'm going to say this goes
back to fool and corn in

1393
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:45,400
general, Every year it's a new
quarterback, every years

1394
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:49,900
multiple, quarterbacks you need
to find a guy and you got you.

1395
01:23:50,100 --> 01:23:54,400
They've recruited several very
talented guys but it's always as

1396
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:56,600
well.
Can't do it quite yet.

1397
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,100
Who was it?
We talked to Brian.

1398
01:24:00,100 --> 01:24:05,500
That said the year Ryan Willis,
when Ryan Willis, when Josh

1399
01:24:05,500 --> 01:24:07,500
Jackson went down, they should
have said screw Ryan.

1400
01:24:07,500 --> 01:24:09,800
Well, let's play handed screw
it.

1401
01:24:10,500 --> 01:24:12,400
It's not going to be a good
season anyway.

1402
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,900
Get him to all the game reps you
can because hendon's a type of

1403
01:24:15,900 --> 01:24:19,100
guy that do it.
So, and whoever it was and I

1404
01:24:19,100 --> 01:24:22,600
don't remember who it was.
I'm sorry, I'm old.

1405
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,800
Um, so is that a key?
If that's a key, the offense.

1406
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,600
Great.
Then from day one after Jerrod

1407
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:33,900
of In Josh Jackson your
quarterback second you I don't

1408
01:24:33,900 --> 01:24:36,500
care what Ron or you do it the
opposite way, I don't care what

1409
01:24:36,500 --> 01:24:38,500
Ron Williams does.
Josh is your quarterback.

1410
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:46,500
Yeah, go back and look at the
numbers from 2013 and 2014 and

1411
01:24:46,500 --> 01:24:51,000
2015 with Paxton Lynch you'll
see ratcheting it up very

1412
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:56,800
steady, uptick in terms of
yardage in terms of efficiency

1413
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,300
and turns of touchdown to
interception ratio.

1414
01:24:59,300 --> 01:25:05,100
I mean, Everything improved with
time but you can't create

1415
01:25:05,100 --> 01:25:09,100
scenarios where you don't have
consistencies at that position

1416
01:25:09,100 --> 01:25:14,300
and you know some of this is you
know, just bad luck and some of

1417
01:25:14,300 --> 01:25:17,600
this is creating scenarios were
quarterbacks don't want to

1418
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:22,400
continue playing here.
For one reason or another and

1419
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,300
that's so good.
Maybe you got to take some

1420
01:25:25,300 --> 01:25:26,900
ownership of that.
I mean, yes.

1421
01:25:26,900 --> 01:25:29,600
You know, you've had some bad
luck, thrown your way you go.

1422
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:33,300
There were choices made that
didn't work in your favor, but

1423
01:25:33,300 --> 01:25:35,300
at the same time, you got to
play with the guys.

1424
01:25:35,300 --> 01:25:37,400
You got in.
Try to maintain the talent that

1425
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,800
you do have and develop that
Talent, true.

1426
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:44,100
Very true can only develop that
Talent if you keep guys in the

1427
01:25:44,100 --> 01:25:46,900
building and get them reps in
the game.

1428
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:53,700
Abso-freakin'-lutely.
All right man kudos to Brian for

1429
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,900
diving into this because you
know I thought about it and

1430
01:25:57,900 --> 01:26:01,300
found tape and sometimes when
you give a football junkie tape

1431
01:26:01,300 --> 01:26:05,000
it's like it's like giving an
attic something like that.

1432
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:16,600
We are going to do it again.
You boys 500 or better?

1433
01:26:16,700 --> 01:26:19,100
We're rolling.
We're going to look at the ACC

1434
01:26:19,100 --> 01:26:21,600
seven games and then we're going
to look at three out of

1435
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:25,200
converges, braless start
tomorrow night, I will probably

1436
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:29,800
be tuned into this as will you
as UVA goes down to Miami to

1437
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:33,400
play Miami.
Miami is a five and a half Point

1438
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:39,900
favorite since you are leading,
you get the honor sir Miami

1439
01:26:39,900 --> 01:26:44,800
legal limit UVA.
But awful on defense.

1440
01:26:45,500 --> 01:26:47,700
Holy crap.
Did you watch some of that game

1441
01:26:47,700 --> 01:26:51,100
against wait?
Oh some of the tape where I'd

1442
01:26:51,100 --> 01:26:53,500
like the defensive lineman like
did a push got show.

1443
01:26:53,500 --> 01:26:56,300
It 100 this wasn't late in the
game.

1444
01:26:56,300 --> 01:27:01,100
They know one was fatigued
defensive lineman playing

1445
01:27:01,100 --> 01:27:05,000
playing titty pet with the
offensive linemen and then you

1446
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,900
got the secondary just like all
right well the ball is in the

1447
01:27:07,900 --> 01:27:09,900
air.
I'm going to watch it for a bit

1448
01:27:09,900 --> 01:27:11,800
here.
It's going to float into the end

1449
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:13,000
zone.
Shit.

1450
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,900
It's in the end zone.
So basically for kind of the

1451
01:27:15,900 --> 01:27:20,200
game surrender Cobra.
Yeah, right after where yeah,

1452
01:27:20,300 --> 01:27:25,800
I'm with you Miami legal limit.
Miami wins by 1440 228.

1453
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:31,400
All right.
Good do u qn c.

1454
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:38,100
Ha ha.
Um, again is a nineteen and a

1455
01:27:38,108 --> 01:27:41,800
half Point favorite We talked
about it.

1456
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:45,400
A few weeks ago, UNC is going to
struggle with anyone who has a

1457
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:48,900
good defense Duke, does not have
a good defense.

1458
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,100
If they get me again, they get
me again.

1459
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:59,300
Um, see wins by 21.
They cover the 19, to half 4927.

1460
01:28:03,300 --> 01:28:11,200
I'm gonna go UNC as well,
because Number one, it's Duke

1461
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:14,100
number to UNC if they don't do
something.

1462
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:17,300
Then I mean, I know we're
picking against the spread here

1463
01:28:17,300 --> 01:28:21,000
and not outright winner, but in
UNC need some style points at

1464
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,100
this point, right?
What else?

1465
01:28:23,500 --> 01:28:25,900
This is a good opportunity to
get some style points against an

1466
01:28:25,900 --> 01:28:29,500
in-state rival.
Go and beat the fucking Blue

1467
01:28:29,500 --> 01:28:31,800
Devils.
If you don't beat them by 19

1468
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:35,000
points, I'm not sure whether you
got a pulse at this point.

1469
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:37,800
Well, if they don't meet about
19 plus Point same house coming

1470
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,400
back next year.
Which is going to screw up their

1471
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,400
quarterback of the future type
thing because the way they've

1472
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,000
recruited.
I, Brian, you get to lead with

1473
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:50,100
this one.
Hey, Georgia Tech pit hit is a

1474
01:28:50,100 --> 01:28:52,800
three and a half Point favorite.
Well, I got a pic.

1475
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:55,300
I got to pick Georgia Tech
against Kenny Pickett.

1476
01:28:56,300 --> 01:28:58,400
This is like, my nightmare
scenario.

1477
01:28:58,900 --> 01:29:05,500
Worst, why are you making me do?
This is I had to pick Duke.

1478
01:29:06,100 --> 01:29:10,300
Yeah.
I can't believe I'm doing this.

1479
01:29:12,500 --> 01:29:16,900
Give me Kenny Pickett.
The Kenny Pickett pits,

1480
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:18,900
anything.
It pits.

1481
01:29:19,300 --> 01:29:22,700
I'm seriously trying to figure
out how this game is three and a

1482
01:29:22,700 --> 01:29:27,900
half.
I feel like the Vegas in Vegas,

1483
01:29:27,900 --> 01:29:30,500
builds the casinos, and they're
building more and now they're

1484
01:29:30,500 --> 01:29:33,800
getting online sports book and
having that house somewhere.

1485
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:35,500
So they're building more
casinos.

1486
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:41,400
I can't see how this is a three
and a half point game for Pitt

1487
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:43,600
this, even though they lost to
Western Michigan.

1488
01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:49,700
Their offense, most of the year
has been productive in every

1489
01:29:49,700 --> 01:29:56,600
game they played Georgia Tech's
defense played okay against UNC,

1490
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,100
they still gave up almost 30
points.

1491
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:03,100
Georgia Tech's offense has been
the roller coaster ride.

1492
01:30:03,300 --> 01:30:05,100
That you don't miss the big bad
wolf.

1493
01:30:06,100 --> 01:30:08,500
She had hurt you because you
don't know what they're going to

1494
01:30:08,500 --> 01:30:10,400
do.
I don't know how they're getting

1495
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:13,700
three and a half Point here.
This line smells very fishy.

1496
01:30:13,700 --> 01:30:18,400
I'm with you give me pit All
right.

1497
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:20,100
Brian.
You get to leave the next one

1498
01:30:20,100 --> 01:30:22,000
man.
I get to lead the next one.

1499
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:23,900
I'm a little bit confused by
this.

1500
01:30:23,900 --> 01:30:28,600
So Wake Forest coming off a
pretty big win over.

1501
01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:35,000
UVA plays Louisville.
Louisville, who, you know?

1502
01:30:36,500 --> 01:30:40,300
You know, one last week against
Florida state only one by eight

1503
01:30:40,300 --> 01:30:43,300
points.
And I mean that game, you know,

1504
01:30:43,700 --> 01:30:47,300
they scored 31 first half points
and then didn't score anything

1505
01:30:47,300 --> 01:30:50,200
after that, you know,
Louisville's three.

1506
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:56,600
And one there wins obviously Ole
Miss gave up 43 points Eastern

1507
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,800
Kentucky.
You know, when I can count that

1508
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:04,000
one, you see ya.
And against a putrid, FSU team

1509
01:31:04,100 --> 01:31:08,600
gave up 23.
Let's see, wakes often, I don't

1510
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:10,100
see how this is a seven-point
game.

1511
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,100
I think weight wins by 10.
I think way twin somewhere in

1512
01:31:13,108 --> 01:31:18,400
the neighborhood of like 3828
just because you look evil

1513
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:20,400
hasn't stopped anyone they
played this year.

1514
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:26,900
Yeah we give me wake.
I'm taking weight because I'm

1515
01:31:26,900 --> 01:31:31,300
taking I'm almost taking week to
to be the team coming out of the

1516
01:31:31,300 --> 01:31:38,300
Atlantic if they can, if they
can get Everything they keep it

1517
01:31:38,300 --> 01:31:39,800
steady.
Because right now, I think they

1518
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:44,400
have a good balance of Defense
passing game rushing attack.

1519
01:31:45,700 --> 01:31:48,100
They're always well coach,
they're always sought on special

1520
01:31:48,100 --> 01:31:52,900
teams.
I just think they're they're

1521
01:31:52,900 --> 01:31:57,500
that classic.
You know, just well structured

1522
01:31:57,500 --> 01:32:03,000
team that if they get one or two
things, go their way in every

1523
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,800
game, they can pull it out
against anybody.

1524
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:10,300
So I'll take wake here in the
and lay the seven.

1525
01:32:11,500 --> 01:32:15,100
I like Louisville has kind of
shown a pulse the last couple

1526
01:32:15,100 --> 01:32:20,600
weeks but I feel like wakes just
more more well-rounded team and

1527
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:23,500
is going to handle them.
Wake is a crisp, executing

1528
01:32:23,500 --> 01:32:26,400
machine on offense right now and
just to verify Steady.

1529
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:29,400
As You Go defense?
Yep, all right.

1530
01:32:30,700 --> 01:32:34,900
Let's figure this one out Brian
as you lead, Syracuse plays FSU

1531
01:32:34,900 --> 01:32:39,200
FSU has not won a game.
As I mentioned Louisville scored

1532
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:42,500
31 on them in the first half
last week.

1533
01:32:42,500 --> 01:32:48,100
So the game was over, they
fought and got the 23 fsu's, a

1534
01:32:48,100 --> 01:32:52,800
four and a half Point favorite.
And I mean, I know Braun that

1535
01:32:52,900 --> 01:33:01,200
this game this week. you know,
is at is at Florida State, but

1536
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:04,600
if you saw the look of the crowd
there last week, it's not the

1537
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:08,100
Florida state of old.
It's like 60% capacity.

1538
01:33:08,500 --> 01:33:12,000
They reach full apathy.
Oh they are apathetic.

1539
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:15,000
Yeah, let's talk real quick
about, you know, if we had to

1540
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,300
roll the dice on the Memphis
coach, we at least got the

1541
01:33:18,300 --> 01:33:23,200
better of the two.
Oh, are you sure it was, he just

1542
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:25,200
in a no-win situation down
there.

1543
01:33:26,500 --> 01:33:28,000
You know what?
I don't care about.

1544
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,300
No win situation.
Man, you're over.

1545
01:33:30,300 --> 01:33:34,400
We were if we were pulling the,
the stat classes that they did

1546
01:33:34,700 --> 01:33:37,300
here, and we're winning like
that went.

1547
01:33:37,300 --> 01:33:39,800
A would have been gone two years
ago, true.

1548
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:41,600
Very true.
Very true.

1549
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:48,000
So Braun.
Are you taking them?

1550
01:33:48,900 --> 01:33:50,300
Hell no.
Give me cues.

1551
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:55,600
I'm right with you.
I don't care if Syracuse is

1552
01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:58,300
coming off, a very big win in
the dome last week.

1553
01:33:58,900 --> 01:34:01,700
Syracuse to me is just to
well-rounded.

1554
01:34:02,900 --> 01:34:05,900
This is another one of those
smelly, smelly lines because I

1555
01:34:05,907 --> 01:34:09,200
think people are going to,
they're doing that to say, well,

1556
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:12,000
people are going to see Florida
State and just lay it because of

1557
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:14,700
Syracuse this line was week.
One or two.

1558
01:34:14,700 --> 01:34:19,900
I think you could have seen
people jump all over FSU here,

1559
01:34:20,500 --> 01:34:23,100
especially the way they competed
wire-to-wire with Notre.

1560
01:34:23,100 --> 01:34:27,100
Dame very true, but that's
really just having seen the last

1561
01:34:27,100 --> 01:34:30,900
three weeks, you know, juries
out here.

1562
01:34:31,900 --> 01:34:38,300
He's out, completely thickness,
wins closer than enough enough

1563
01:34:38,300 --> 01:34:42,200
to for getting four and a half.
As a Road Dogg enough to cover.

1564
01:34:43,500 --> 01:34:44,800
I mean, I think he's wins out,
right?

1565
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:48,800
So yeah, me too, man.
All right, here we go.

1566
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:52,500
Braun NC State off the huge.
He's upset of Clemson.

1567
01:34:52,500 --> 01:34:55,800
Last week in Raleigh gets
Louisiana Tech this week, NC

1568
01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:57,700
State's Elaine, 20 and a half
on.

1569
01:34:57,700 --> 01:35:00,400
Make this one short and sweet.
It's a hangover game for them,

1570
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:02,300
they're going to win.
They're not going to win by more

1571
01:35:02,300 --> 01:35:03,800
than three touchdowns against
Claudette.

1572
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:09,000
You know what?
I'm gonna go against you here.

1573
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:15,700
Finally have a pivot point here.
I see NC State.

1574
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:20,300
I think you know you say
hangover I say Clemson is the

1575
01:35:20,308 --> 01:35:23,300
game that kind of refocuses them
and say we still got something

1576
01:35:23,300 --> 01:35:25,300
to play for here.
It's true.

1577
01:35:25,700 --> 01:35:28,600
So they so they come in focused
and ready to ready to go.

1578
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:29,800
I think they take care of
business.

1579
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:33,700
All right, Brian.
We finally decide to decipher

1580
01:35:33,700 --> 01:35:35,300
their.
All right, man.

1581
01:35:35,300 --> 01:35:38,700
Well, let's go talk about
Clemson this week.

1582
01:35:38,700 --> 01:35:45,200
They get BC coming into town, 15
and a half Point.

1583
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:48,100
Favorites are the Clemson Tigers
in Death Valley.

1584
01:35:48,100 --> 01:35:51,600
It is going to be a night game
that is going to be on the ACC

1585
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:56,500
Network.
Over under forty six and a half.

1586
01:35:56,500 --> 01:35:58,400
Brian, what are you thinking on
this one?

1587
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:07,500
Give me the under.
Okay, we BC in this line would

1588
01:36:07,500 --> 01:36:13,700
have been again some of these
lines the I guess a lot of this

1589
01:36:13,700 --> 01:36:17,200
is like playing on History
because I mean, right now,

1590
01:36:17,300 --> 01:36:21,400
nothing is told me that Clemson
can beat any power 5, team by

1591
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:27,200
15, a half points.
So I'm going to think that a

1592
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:30,300
pretty good BC team even without
their starting quarterback.

1593
01:36:30,300 --> 01:36:33,400
They've shown, they can pivot
their offensive style leaving

1594
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:36,300
their power running game.
They've got a solid defense,

1595
01:36:36,300 --> 01:36:38,000
it's better.
It's improved from last year.

1596
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,100
It's not giving up some of the
big caching runs two

1597
01:36:40,100 --> 01:36:43,200
quarterbacks like it was last
year.

1598
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:47,600
So I'll take BC, I can probably
tell you why, I think you're

1599
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:48,800
going to go the other way,
though.

1600
01:36:49,900 --> 01:36:51,800
Well, I'm going the other way.
Why am I going the other way?

1601
01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:54,600
You're going the other way?
Because it's a fucking put up or

1602
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:58,400
shut up week for Clemson after
that loss to NC State.

1603
01:36:58,500 --> 01:37:01,500
Anytime Dabo gets into those put
up or shut up games.

1604
01:37:01,500 --> 01:37:05,400
His team's come out and respond.
I also think it's Dennis grow

1605
01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:07,700
cells.
Essentially, this is going to be

1606
01:37:07,700 --> 01:37:11,200
his third game on tape, and I
think Brent venables is going to

1607
01:37:11,208 --> 01:37:13,700
have him pretty much eaten
alive.

1608
01:37:13,700 --> 01:37:19,200
I take the under two and I think
Clemson wins something like 20.

1609
01:37:19,300 --> 01:37:21,800
It's That will be much.
It's barely going to cover some

1610
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:29,900
like 24/7 maybe 31, maybe 3124
shooting 3110 but I don't think

1611
01:37:29,900 --> 01:37:32,800
this is all going to be seized
getting to 14 points.

1612
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:34,500
So, I'm going to take Clemson on
this one.

1613
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,100
Alright, alright, that wraps the
ACC.

1614
01:37:37,100 --> 01:37:40,300
Let's go out of conference.
Brian three.

1615
01:37:40,300 --> 01:37:44,000
Pretty big games in several
different conferences.

1616
01:37:44,300 --> 01:37:49,600
Let's start in the SEC.
Alabama, Ole Miss old.

1617
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:56,700
Lane kiffin, Nick Saban.
As every Alabama game is from

1618
01:37:56,700 --> 01:37:59,500
the month of after SEC play
starts.

1619
01:37:59,700 --> 01:38:02,500
Its on CBS at 3:30.
Not shop.

1620
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,600
Bama ready for this one?
Yep.

1621
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:12,000
Bama laying 14 and a half over
under seventy nine and a half.

1622
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:17,300
Yeah, I'm trying to wonder what
they know here is.

1623
01:38:18,900 --> 01:38:21,100
You know, I think bam has a
really good team, but I think

1624
01:38:21,100 --> 01:38:23,300
Ole Miss keeps it closed through
the duration.

1625
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:27,900
I think it's like a 10 10 point
10 point win for for Bama there.

1626
01:38:28,700 --> 01:38:32,300
So give me Ole Miss.
I know Mike will bond.

1627
01:38:32,300 --> 01:38:36,300
It doesn't like me doing that.
You think that lane kiffin is a

1628
01:38:36,300 --> 01:38:40,300
clown?
But I will say that he might be

1629
01:38:40,300 --> 01:38:44,800
a clown, but when he is focused
on a goal, he does a pretty good

1630
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:48,500
job of keeping his team's
competitive even against.

1631
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:53,000
ADI competition, so I'll go with
Ole Miss here.

1632
01:38:54,100 --> 01:38:57,300
I'm gonna go with Ole Miss to.
So we're back to agree and

1633
01:38:57,300 --> 01:39:01,300
again, and I think it's super
close and I think it's super

1634
01:39:01,300 --> 01:39:03,400
close enough.
That if you wanted to throw a

1635
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:05,700
few bucks on the money line,
because I think the money line

1636
01:39:05,700 --> 01:39:07,200
is going to be so favorable for
Ole Miss.

1637
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:12,200
I think they can get them.
I think Ole Miss, I think Lane

1638
01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:16,800
can out tour Bryce young without
without the receivers.

1639
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:22,000
The over is 17.
And this game went to like, 112

1640
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:28,000
last year. 111.
Excuse me, 63 48 was the final

1641
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:32,100
Alabama and then the previous
year same way.

1642
01:39:32,100 --> 01:39:38,500
It went pretty high with Lane.
I mean kiffin knows how to

1643
01:39:38,500 --> 01:39:41,200
expose the biggest defense has
now.

1644
01:39:41,200 --> 01:39:43,200
The question is going to be his
is kiffin.

1645
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:48,800
If he keeps continuing to do
well here, does the place that

1646
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:50,900
left them on tarmac?
Give them another call.

1647
01:39:52,900 --> 01:39:55,500
Or does he say, you know what?
Forget that I don't feel like

1648
01:39:55,500 --> 01:39:59,800
being left out in the cold again
but Ole Miss definitely covers.

1649
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:03,900
Think about the money line.
If you're getting good odds I

1650
01:40:03,900 --> 01:40:06,600
think almost could pull the pig
upset here in Tuscaloosa.

1651
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:11,100
All right.
Brian next one, let's go out to

1652
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:16,200
the Big 12 and throw a little
off here because we hadn't

1653
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:18,800
really done much, Big 12,
exception of West, Junior or

1654
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:23,500
Oklahoma, but Baylor and
Oklahoma State Eight both 4 & 0,

1655
01:40:23,500 --> 01:40:27,000
both ranked in the top 25,
Baylor with the big upset win

1656
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:32,600
last week at Iowa State.
Oklahoma State, big upset win

1657
01:40:32,600 --> 01:40:36,000
over Kansas State.
So both are coming in off two

1658
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:41,000
big wins.
Oklahoma state with the Boise

1659
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:44,300
State wind going up there at a
night game winning.

1660
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:49,500
And you know, other than the our
state, this is kind of the

1661
01:40:49,500 --> 01:40:53,900
second big test for Baylor.
This is going to be in

1662
01:40:53,900 --> 01:40:57,300
Stillwater with a night kick.
And as much as I love Dave,

1663
01:40:57,300 --> 01:40:59,600
Aranda, he's a hell of a
defensive coordinator.

1664
01:41:00,700 --> 01:41:05,900
I think Gundy gets this one.
And I'll lay the three and a

1665
01:41:05,900 --> 01:41:08,700
half points.
Give me Okie State.

1666
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:11,900
You know what?
I'm right there with you.

1667
01:41:13,900 --> 01:41:17,000
I think Baylor's going to have a
little bit of a hangover from a

1668
01:41:17,008 --> 01:41:22,100
big win, you're playing in a
tough environment and I think

1669
01:41:22,100 --> 01:41:24,300
going to get is going to get
those guys ready to go.

1670
01:41:24,300 --> 01:41:28,900
So I'll take Okie State there.
We're agreeing on that one.

1671
01:41:29,500 --> 01:41:32,500
All right.
To me, this is the biggest game

1672
01:41:32,500 --> 01:41:35,300
of the weekend.
I'm not sure if ESPN Gameday,

1673
01:41:35,300 --> 01:41:36,600
actually.
Where is game day going to be

1674
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:38,700
this week?
Mom, you look that up real

1675
01:41:38,700 --> 01:41:41,900
quick.
Great question because there's

1676
01:41:41,900 --> 01:41:43,500
three big games.
We're not we're not picking the

1677
01:41:43,500 --> 01:41:47,400
Arkansas Georgia game.
I didn't want to do Jewel SEC

1678
01:41:49,100 --> 01:41:52,000
because that's a big game.
Sam Pittman returning to Georgia

1679
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:55,300
where he coach the offensive
line for several years and

1680
01:41:55,300 --> 01:41:58,900
several playoff runs.
He's at 14 and 14 ft, what

1681
01:41:58,900 --> 01:42:03,500
Wabash?
Cincinnati at Notre Dame.

1682
01:42:03,500 --> 01:42:05,900
The line just went down a few
minutes ago.

1683
01:42:07,500 --> 01:42:13,700
Cincinnati is the road favorite.
Lane two points against the

1684
01:42:13,700 --> 01:42:18,500
Irish.
Cincinnati is 3 and 0 Notre

1685
01:42:18,500 --> 01:42:24,000
Dame's for no Cincinnati with
wind So Far Over Indiana might

1686
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:31,300
Miami of Ohio and Murray State
so not the biggest while while

1687
01:42:31,300 --> 01:42:34,500
Notre Dame.
We watch the fourth quarter that

1688
01:42:34,500 --> 01:42:38,200
game just laid the absolute
SmackDown on Wisconsin in every

1689
01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:43,200
single way.
We Got Game Day in Athens,

1690
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:45,400
Georgia.
I like that.

1691
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:51,800
I mean, I'm not knocking, like,
where they go but for real.

1692
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:57,400
You're good.
If this was that Arkansas, do

1693
01:42:57,400 --> 01:43:01,100
it, they don't go to
Fayetteville, much to me, go to

1694
01:43:01,100 --> 01:43:04,300
South Bend, you give Cincinnati
that Spotlight that day.

1695
01:43:04,300 --> 01:43:06,300
You give Georgia Spotlight all
the time.

1696
01:43:06,500 --> 01:43:08,600
All right, Brian.
Two-point game.

1697
01:43:11,100 --> 01:43:13,900
Do you think it's basically
considered I'm taking Notre

1698
01:43:13,900 --> 01:43:16,000
Dame?
Mainly because I want Notre Dame

1699
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:19,400
to get another Goodwin before we
get them.

1700
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:23,500
I want that game to be as big
and meaningful as possible

1701
01:43:23,500 --> 01:43:28,300
because if we can figure out a
way to get it done, then,

1702
01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:29,900
that'll that's all the better
for us.

1703
01:43:30,300 --> 01:43:33,800
Absolutely.
And I'm with you.

1704
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:36,900
And I'm not with you because of
I want them to come in

1705
01:43:36,900 --> 01:43:39,500
undefeated.
I want them to come in rank.

1706
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:42,500
Bleah.
It could potentially be in the

1707
01:43:42,500 --> 01:43:47,000
top five with that win,
especially with numerous teams

1708
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:51,000
above them playing good
opponents but I think this is

1709
01:43:51,008 --> 01:43:54,400
the Marcus Freeman game.
I think Marcus Freeman who had

1710
01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:57,000
been with Luke pickle for quite
a few years.

1711
01:43:57,300 --> 01:44:01,300
Probably knows enough ins and
outs when you can say the same

1712
01:44:01,300 --> 01:44:04,500
thing with fickle knows his
defense in and out to the

1713
01:44:04,500 --> 01:44:08,900
difference is pickle knows his
defense in and out pickle now

1714
01:44:08,900 --> 01:44:13,300
has to deal with his defense.
The ins and out with stack, top

1715
01:44:13,300 --> 01:44:16,300
ten classes in top Elite
Defenders.

1716
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:20,700
And as good as fickle as a
coach, I think Notre Dame wins

1717
01:44:20,700 --> 01:44:23,500
this one.
So a home, dog getting points.

1718
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:26,900
Let's lay that on the line.
We're both going Notre, Dame.

1719
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:30,900
We only disagreed on two games
behind.

1720
01:44:31,900 --> 01:44:36,200
So if you like our statistics of
when we bet together, which I

1721
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:38,900
think we're running it like a
70% clip when we agree on

1722
01:44:38,900 --> 01:44:42,000
things.
Take your money, those games.

1723
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:43,500
We agreed on.
Go Leon.

1724
01:44:43,900 --> 01:44:46,700
Yeah, we got we got a good card
this week, guys, got a very good

1725
01:44:46,700 --> 01:44:47,500
card.
This week.

1726
01:44:47,500 --> 01:44:52,100
Anything breaking in the last
hours here.

1727
