Bye Week Recharge
Boundary Corner Podcast
Bye Week Recharge

This week we roll into the bye with the Hokies currently on a 4 game losing streak after falling to the Hurricanes at home 20-14. We welcome on Hokies defensive lineman Josh Fuga to discuss the early season returns and how his game has progressed under the new regime. We then look at what could have been if certain Hokies with eligibility remaining had decided to give Blacksburg one more spin.

questions for you and again,

tonight, of course, I appreciate
HIV.

45
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,600
So I just wanted to start off
with this.

46
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,100
You've had some kind of great
games your career already at

47
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:17,600
Virginia Tech so far, but you
seem to Don't be hitting your

48
00:03:17,608 --> 00:03:20,300
stride this year.
Especially three great

49
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:23,800
performances from you in a row.
The last three weeks.

50
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:26,500
Do you feel like, everything the
coaches are asking of you at

51
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:28,300
your position, is started to
click for you?

52
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:30,600
Or is there something else
contributing to that success?

53
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:37,200
All I believe is, is more me
buying in and embracing my role

54
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,200
as a player on the team, knowing
my strengths and my weaknesses.

55
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,400
So I think me actually honing in
on my skill sets and actually

56
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,300
believe them.
Like okay, this is what I'm good

57
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:49,800
at.
So I'm going to go ahead and put

58
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,400
down display for everybody.
Awesome, awesome.

59
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,700
I love to hear that and I know I
think you had talked about

60
00:03:56,700 --> 00:04:00,200
earlier in one other spot.
I saw, were you talking about

61
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,000
buying in and just the
difference that kind of the

62
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,600
culture that has been changed,
you know, kind of since you've

63
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,500
been there.
So let's talk about that a

64
00:04:10,508 --> 00:04:12,900
little bit.
How did you approach?

65
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:16,600
That regime change that happened
at the end of last season and

66
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,700
has there been a part of that
change that has had an impact on

67
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:22,600
your preparation or your On the
field.

68
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,700
The most I really embrace the
change by.

69
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:33,200
I knew how to change.
What's going to be the severity

70
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,200
of the change.
But what I did is like I knew I

71
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,700
wasn't going to leave or not
like that.

72
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:41,000
I had no intentions of leaving
first and foremost.

73
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,300
So I knew that if I want to
become who I am right now, I got

74
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:50,600
to work harder, so there's more
weight room or more film study

75
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,700
all that.
And the change that actually

76
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:56,700
happened this year.
I think he's actually pretty

77
00:04:56,700 --> 00:05:00,600
good because one thing that this
coaching staff bought into their

78
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,100
mindset was mainly competing and
everything we do on and off the

79
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,400
field.
And I believe that what that

80
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,300
change in that mindset that they
instilled in US was pretty

81
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:14,700
pretty good.
We really needed that as a team,

82
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,700
it may not be showing it right
now but we are really competed

83
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:21,200
on and off the field because
what we do off the field

84
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,600
correlation Do on the fields.
Yeah it sounds like you.

85
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,800
As soon as you saw that coming
you kind of double down on your

86
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,700
approach and I do your
preparation and stuff like that.

87
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:33,200
Yes, sir.
Awesome awesome.

88
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,000
And, you know, speaking of that
you kind of you've been a

89
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,700
rotational or starting player
for the Hokies for three years.

90
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:41,900
Now, what's been the biggest
difference for you?

91
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:45,300
From a schematic perspective?
In coach Brian?

92
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:49,200
Coach Marv system compared to
your first two seasons in Justin

93
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,600
Hamilton's defense.
I think the schematically

94
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,500
fogging is allowing allowing
the, the front for didn't

95
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:03,000
actually eat more like they're
good.

96
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,100
They're going to put us in
position to make plays, okay?

97
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,800
So I say they're going to do
their best to make sure that

98
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,200
we're doing that.
We are here to for this specific

99
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,900
play and it's up to us to
actually execute that play and

100
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,900
make the plays when it comes to
us you know.

101
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:25,000
You got to stay in the framework
and not do too much and I

102
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,300
believe that we're doing that
and I believe that's the whole

103
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,400
the change of everything from
the other staff to this stuff.

104
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,900
Okay.
So a little bit more Controlled

105
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:36,400
Chaos.
Yeah.

106
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Okay.
Okay.

107
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:39,600
I like that.
I like that.

108
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,100
And kind of speaking of that I
know we talked a little bit off

109
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:45,600
are before you jumped on here.
I know we're still early in the

110
00:06:45,608 --> 00:06:50,000
bye week but what has been the
emphasis from coach Pride this

111
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,400
week so far as it.
Been more NC State prep type

112
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,800
stuff.
Since you've got the Thursday

113
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,700
night or early coming next week,
or is it been more about the

114
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:00,200
scheme in the technique and
trying to polish some things

115
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:01,900
from the first half of the
season?

116
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,800
I believe like his message, from
what I've what I've gotten is

117
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:13,400
what can you do individually?
To better this team as an old,

118
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:19,600
like I said, in other interviews
is that even though what we're

119
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,700
going through, may not be all
rainbows and sunshine this week,

120
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,200
could have been a better time
for us to have a Bible.

121
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:32,100
Gives us opportunity to really
reflect on what's going on as a

122
00:07:32,108 --> 00:07:36,800
team as a program and also as
individually as a player.

123
00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:42,400
So I think it's a perfect time
for about So we can really

124
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,200
actually take strives and for
the next half of the season.

125
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,900
Yeah.
It's it does seem like it's

126
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:50,000
coming at a good time.
I think, you know, you guys have

127
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,900
seen had some good games, had
some areas where you feel like

128
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:57,200
you could, you know, have
improved trying to put the whole

129
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:59,200
picture together.
I know price talked a lot about

130
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,000
complementary football, kind of
everybody.

131
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,800
Rowing in the same direction at
the same time, right?

132
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,400
And I, you know, as you said I
think it's a good time for a bye

133
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,800
week.
You can start maybe putting some

134
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,300
of those pieces together, for
sure.

135
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,500
Yeah, let me ask this.
So you came in Virginia Tech

136
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:21,300
already kind of One level size
at 61 300.

137
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,800
What?
Components of the strength and

138
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,700
conditioning program have helped
the most in your progression on

139
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:33,200
the field since you've been in
Blacksburg I'll say the the

140
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,200
conditioner.
Yeah so when I first came here

141
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:43,000
2019 I'll never forget I
graduated high school, June 9th

142
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,400
of that year and then June 10
was already like Like my report

143
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,700
day?
No, I actually graduated June,

144
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,500
June 1st and my report day was
June 10 so quick turn around.

145
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,400
Turn around, well, coming in.
I remember five o'clock in the

146
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,600
morning, we had to put our
cleats on and get on the

147
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,500
Baseline that we had to run.
This thing called 300-yard,

148
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:09,200
Shadows, that steady back, 50
back and 50 back for the whole

149
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,800
week straight.
I didn't make not one of my

150
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,500
times so I'm almost who it is.
Then after, you know, gassed

151
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:18,700
out.
It's hard to make my times and

152
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:21,900
it's embarrassing.
Like to be honest embarrassing

153
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:25,100
like you got the class that came
in with you like looking at you

154
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:28,400
like you're like he's not ready
and I kid you not after that.

155
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,900
Very first week God did the
whole shuttles till that point I

156
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:37,100
never miss a time I'm either one
of the top guys finishing and

157
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:40,200
all that.
So it's really me embracing

158
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,900
that.
Okay, this is what it is to take

159
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:48,300
to play at this level.
I got that be able to Be playing

160
00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:50,900
50 plays or whatever it is.
I got to be strong.

161
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:54,300
So it's just me buying in and
the conditioning and all the

162
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:57,100
strength that that, that, that
they implemented.

163
00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:01,600
Yeah, now I can definitely
commiserate with that a little

164
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,300
bit.
I played III back in the day and

165
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,900
I remember getting there.
And, you know, the first thing

166
00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:08,900
they're doing is the
conditioning test.

167
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:13,300
And I was like, oh, okay, this
is this different level of

168
00:10:13,308 --> 00:10:16,600
conditioning, than what we were
doing, you know, back in high

169
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,000
school and the first, first week
was rough.

170
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,300
I definitely missed about two or
three the times that first week.

171
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:24,900
You know what?
You got to get your feet under

172
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:26,600
your little bit.
You're like, alright Ike, if you

173
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,600
push through a little More you
start just getting under the

174
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,100
time and then you can start
building off that for sure.

175
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:38,000
Yeah, yeah.
All right, so let me ask this

176
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,700
because little bit back on the
on the strength and conditioning

177
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,300
stuff.
Since you've been in Blacksburg

178
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:47,100
anytime we see those offseason
workout videos.

179
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:50,200
I tell my buddy Curtis does the
show with me?

180
00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:55,500
And I've said it on here before
you've got the best Squad face

181
00:10:55,500 --> 00:11:00,300
on the team by far.
It's not even close man.

182
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,300
But let me ask the question from
this perspective does make him

183
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:08,800
Squat Friday, almost like these
big weekly event helped the team

184
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,500
push through leg day each week
because I know that's always

185
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:13,600
like the the toughest day to get
through.

186
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,400
Yeah, that doesn't know about it
is its opposite day to get

187
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,600
through.
But I think actually actually

188
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,700
benefits us because we're all
were all there once a week and

189
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:30,200
we're all there, watch it, one
guy at a time so push the weight

190
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,300
push his Max.
And that just that bills that

191
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,800
Team chemistry that team
camaraderie that look I got your

192
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,300
back.
If you do this for one time, you

193
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:42,600
know.
And and it gives that person

194
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,900
that confidence whoever's under
that squat bar below.

195
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:48,800
Okay, everybody watching me.
I'm not gonna miss low but I

196
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,200
know that they got me and I'm
gonna do my best to get this one

197
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,300
rep.
So if it helps build that team,

198
00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:01,500
camaraderie in that team
chemistry for real, I will throw

199
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:04,900
this on here boy, Vic, Virginia,
Tech Les.

200
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:08,000
He said, tell my guy figure,
he's got got a fan and Dwight

201
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,300
Vic, and freedom is serious this
year.

202
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:28,200
Just a, yes, sir, I know y'all.
So, let's ask this, you've been

203
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,700
playing under JC price.
Now, for two seasons, we're

204
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:35,400
seeing his impact a lot more on
the line this year.

205
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,700
Not just from, you know, the
director of the wreck stuff with

206
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:41,200
the coaching, but a lot of the
culture type stuff.

207
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,200
Lunch pail has bagged all
collar.

208
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,700
What does it mean to you to play
for a coach to kind of help

209
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:49,200
build the foundation and the
culture?

210
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:56,200
The program that you're now part
of the coast pies and he's a God

211
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,400
that embodies our what Virginia
Tech is.

212
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:03,300
So this is actually like his
first time like took the two

213
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:04,900
years he been here.
Is his first time actually

214
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:09,400
gained control of them.
All four guys, man, this is so

215
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,700
like last year we had built a
link, so we would all be under

216
00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:16,900
him and then close power coach,
the ends.

217
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,400
But this is his first time I
actually get in the hole.

218
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:23,200
Whole deal on as a whole.
And I'm telling you, like, he

219
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,500
what he teaches at how he
coaches, it's a different style

220
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:31,200
of coaching I've ever seen.
He's actually passionate, he's

221
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,800
very passionate.
What he does the dog mentality

222
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,900
dead, the front for got to have
every game, no matter what it

223
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:42,900
is, like, you gonna, you gotta
play like this in order to be

224
00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:47,200
successful, and he does a very
great job, trying to instill

225
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,800
that that mindset.
That Now, we got to have every

226
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,400
game and everything that we do
in life just outside of football

227
00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:57,700
and I'm sorry plan to close
price is actually a blessing for

228
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:00,600
me.
That's also and we saw it.

229
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,300
I mean, anytime he's in front of
the camera.

230
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,900
Anytime he's on the bike.
I mean, you can't, you feel it?

231
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:09,700
And we saw when we, I mean me
and Curtis are fans from way,

232
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:14,400
back in the in the mid-90s when
Coach Price was still was still

233
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
a Virginia Tech as a player.
So we kind of go back that far

234
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,700
and we cut remember that
mentality that he had as a

235
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:26,200
player and it's awesome to hear
that he's bringing that to

236
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,100
y'all's meeting room deals
position Roop and you know

237
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,300
seeing every time he gets in
front of the mic especially you

238
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:37,200
know, after UVA last year.
That was an emotional moment for

239
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,900
him, man.
So it's awesome that he brings

240
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:44,000
that same energy to practice to
meetings and stuff like that.

241
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,700
Yeah, every day every day.
Awesome.

242
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:52,100
Well, you know, we know, Great
of an environment Lane stadium,

243
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:55,200
is to experience a college
football game.

244
00:14:56,100 --> 00:15:00,200
And but I'm curious from your
perspective, what are some other

245
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,000
stadiums that you played at
during your time with the Hokies

246
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,900
that have also kind of stood out
for you as having that type of

247
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:09,200
electric atmosphere?
I'll say for me personally, was

248
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:15,300
West Virginia last year.
It was electrifying, you really

249
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:17,500
couldn't hear nothing, as soon
as you got out.

250
00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:19,400
It was a pretty cool
environment.

251
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:22,300
Moment.
But I will say Lane, stadium is

252
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:26,600
top, top notch, no, nothing
being Stadium, wasn't filled.

253
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,900
So, but for me personally, I'll
say West Virginia.

254
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:33,700
Last year was pretty all
rocking.

255
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:38,500
Was it kind of the combination
of the the Rivalry, the the fans

256
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:40,800
just kind of little bit of
everything that was contributing

257
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,500
to that.
Oh yeah, I say likes to pull it

258
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:46,100
pulling up.
Shut up to the stadium and sell

259
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:50,700
like, you can see like you feel
that the whyville And everything

260
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:54,800
that this game that game meant
like we're not just trying to

261
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,900
win the game like we're trying
to compete for trophies and

262
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:00,900
trophy game.
Yeah, like as soon as you get to

263
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:04,600
the stadium, you'll feel that
atmosphere That's awesome.

264
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:07,900
Yeah that that's one of the
stadiums that I would like to

265
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:09,800
check out.
I've not been there.

266
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:15,500
You know when when I was coming
to games early earlier in my

267
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:19,600
life, when I was a college
student that was when West

268
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,400
Virginia was known for some of
that dirty stuff that people

269
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,500
were talking about.
Like, oh yeah, throw in

270
00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:26,900
batteries and you know, all that
stuff at game.

271
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:30,600
So you know some people tried to
as far as visiting fans, tried

272
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,600
to stay away from that
atmosphere but you know I've

273
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,300
heard.
Late, it's a lot more more tame,

274
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:39,200
but still still pretty raucous.
In terms of the noise, they make

275
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,900
in the passion that they bring
to the stadium.

276
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:48,000
So, let's ask this, this little
more fun question for you in the

277
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,700
deal.
I room.

278
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:50,700
You got a lot of different
personalities, a lot of back

279
00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:54,500
different backgrounds.
What's the big kind of off the

280
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:59,500
clock, like competition or thing
that you guys do, kind of as a

281
00:16:59,508 --> 00:17:02,100
group as a video games, is it
pick up Hoops?

282
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,500
You know, what kind of things
do?

283
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:09,400
Y'all do off the clock?
Off the clock, I will, I would

284
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,500
say that it is mainly
basketball, I pick up so like

285
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,300
coach prize will have, was
sometime come to his house, but

286
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:21,200
just grub and just fellowship
and I say, he has a basketball

287
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,400
hoop and I'll tell you as soon
as you get there, somebody got a

288
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,800
basketball.
And where are you trying to play

289
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,100
21 or King of the course?
Something?

290
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:32,800
Like weird.
It doesn't matter because

291
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,400
possibly like, there's no
Duncan.

292
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,600
But, you know, some guys will
try to dunk here.

293
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,800
How about we try to compete
regardless?

294
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,300
So I say like basketball,
something like that.

295
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,200
Okay, he's right.
He's trying to protect his hoop,

296
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,400
right?
You don't want job, bringing the

297
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,500
hotel right now.
You're not.

298
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:48,600
He doesn't get that.
He stays out the way where

299
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,300
everybody else is out there
playing playing with the

300
00:17:51,308 --> 00:17:54,500
basketball, or some guys will be
playing pool or something like

301
00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:55,700
that.
Oh nice.

302
00:17:55,700 --> 00:18:00,700
Okay, okay, good stuff.
Man, I figured is Hoops.

303
00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:04,100
Usually everybody that comes in
here, it's always Hoops for so,

304
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,500
you know, 21 was are Game back
in the day.

305
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:10,100
So, I'm glad that that's
carrying it through for some of

306
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:12,900
the d-line group.
Now, to, all right?

307
00:18:12,900 --> 00:18:15,200
So last question before I let
you go tonight.

308
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,800
Yeah, we always ask this when we
have players on former players?

309
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:23,700
What's the go to Food Spot for
you?

310
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:30,500
In Blacksburg?
Go to and I don't have anything.

311
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:39,500
I would say, I'll say Jose.
Okay, who's the breakfast diner?

312
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:43,200
Yeah, yeah.
That that little that little

313
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,200
spot you know, the little coffee
shop I like to refer to as but

314
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,100
that and got some good food over
there.

315
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:52,200
Yeah they do have some good
food.

316
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:57,700
You're the first person I think
that said Jose in a while so I

317
00:18:57,700 --> 00:18:59,400
think it's underrated to to a
point.

318
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,500
But I mean anybody anybody
that's been there especially

319
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:05,600
certain times a day They know

NC State.

327
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,700
There we go.

00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:39,100
Appreciate your time.
You have a good night.

329
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:47,700
Appreciate you, too.
We are now back and it

330
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:50,100
automatically, after that
interview it makes me want to we

331
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,400
have to invite you as fuga back
next season for interview with

332
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,300
some point time since I didn't
get a chance to miss him and

333
00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:59,800
then discuss, how many the
question?

334
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:03,100
Now the question that we had
them on once with Joe's Diner is

335
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:07,900
not only okay what's his go to
but how many because obviously

336
00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:11,100
you know Joe's Diner, huge
breakfast all that good stuff

337
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:15,500
like would it be like you know
You know, three small, Joe's

338
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,100
three.
Big Joe's mean how much is job

339
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:20,300
with?
What's the go to order?

340
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,500
Let's go to water and how much
it's like the new Taco Bell.

341
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:30,500
It's 28 dollar challenge 2828,
Taco Bell and we were like, oh

342
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:34,100
my God, you're inside, you're
going for a family of four, what

343
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:35,700
are you doing?
What are you doing?

344
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:40,300
But anyway, it was great.
That he came on last night.

345
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:43,200
We run also view to get a chance
to interview him.

346
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:46,500
I'm surprised you didn't get
more technical about what would

347
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:50,400
be happening if you were God?
He was d-tackle, haha, maybe

348
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,100
next time, but maybe next time,
maybe they're also having Josh

349
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:56,200
own Josh.
Again we appreciate you coming

350
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,400
on last night if you're
listening tonight.

351
00:20:58,700 --> 00:20:59,900
All right.
Well let's flip it, Brian.

352
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:04,200
Let's get into this Miami recap
and you know, Hokies fall 2014

353
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,900
and I'm going to start right off
with the offense because

354
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:10,300
probably after playing their
best game of the year against

355
00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:14,300
Pitt, excluding really much.
Each the laughs has of the

356
00:21:14,300 --> 00:21:16,700
fourth quarter.
It was literally the worst game

357
00:21:16,700 --> 00:21:19,700
we've seen from this offense for
3/4 now.

358
00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:21,600
I mean, the first three
quarters.

359
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000
I mean, I'm not even gonna take
the first series that with the

360
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,300
big run by Malachi to open it in
the big pass by Daquan that he

361
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:33,200
fumbled and games territory.
But before the fourth quarter

362
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:39,000
after that fumble, they crossed
the Midfield one time and I

363
00:21:39,008 --> 00:21:40,700
didn't get to see.
I didn't see any of the game

364
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:43,100
except the condensed version,
which I watched three times.

365
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:48,100
Condensed versions are great,
but they are what they are, but

366
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,400
I'm following them, my phone at
baseball.

367
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,100
The second half, I listen to
Bill, and Michael on the radio,

368
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,000
it's awesome to hear them.
Just to say that whether it's a

369
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,500
losing effort or not.
But Brian, you did get to see

370
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:00,600
the games.
Let's talk about the play calls

371
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,200
and what's going on there was it
play calls or even bad

372
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,700
situation?
What was the, what was the

373
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:09,300
issue?
It kind of felt like, you know,

374
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:12,300
we had the big miscue in the
first drive after a couple pump,

375
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:15,500
promising plays.
As you know, we saw a couple new

376
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:19,900
things out the gate, you know,
we had an outside Zone on that

377
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:25,300
run by Malachi, you know, then
we got Daquan involved early in

378
00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:29,200
the game and then you have the
fumble and then it felt like,

379
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,700
very, very vanilla, very
reserved, in terms, of trying to

380
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:38,300
attack them outside on the
perimeter, which is where we've

381
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:41,700
had a lot of success with the
running game, and also kind of

382
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:43,300
through the air with intermedia
game.

383
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:46,800
We burn them with two plays like
that and then we really don't

384
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,800
kind of go back to that for a
long time and when we do you

385
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,200
know it's telegraphed.
It's stuff that we kind of we're

386
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,800
showing what's coming.
So you know what we got to do is

387
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,200
get more frequent counters, and
wrinkles off of those

388
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,700
bread-and-butter plays.
So we can keep the defense

389
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:05,000
guessing a little bit more
because it seemed like they were

390
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,300
key in a lot on those quick
screens to the tight end.

391
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:13,200
They were key in a lot on those
hours things.

392
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,100
Like that and they were able to
kind of get us kind of stymied a

393
00:23:18,108 --> 00:23:21,300
little bit before we go to get
upfield and get our shoulders

394
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:23,700
square and kind of get that
forward momentum in the in the

395
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:26,700
offense.
And that's just going to be one

396
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:30,800
of those things where you got to
bake be quicker and adjusting in

397
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,800
the game, kind of mid-flow.
When you see, okay, well, you

398
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,000
know, we did, we didn't do this
well.

399
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,400
So you get a little trigger shot
with that and then all of a

400
00:23:39,408 --> 00:23:43,300
sudden, your bread and butter is
not working and you don't adjust

401
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,100
From that and try to find
something else.

402
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:47,900
That's going to get you back
into that Rhythm because we

403
00:23:47,900 --> 00:23:50,200
really didn't find an offensive
Rhythm until the fourth quarter.

404
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,800
Well how does it know offensive
play called or do that though?

405
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,300
Because you have that first
where you run to Great plays and

406
00:23:56,300 --> 00:23:59,500
unfortunately a fumble happens
and then you get gunshot and you

407
00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:03,000
get triggered for an offensive
coordinator.

408
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,900
Like you can't live like that
because you can't live at the

409
00:24:05,908 --> 00:24:08,200
bread butter doesn't work.
And obviously those first two

410
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,900
plays with something different
and getting a young player

411
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:14,000
involved early.
So the game plan, Lan was there

412
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,200
but it was just like completely
pulled back.

413
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,400
Like hold the horses.
Whoa, we can't keep making

414
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,900
mistakes like this, what is it?
Offensive play caller.

415
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:25,800
Have to do to get away from that
and just say, no, clearly these

416
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,800
two plays worked in.
We if not for a fumble, we would

417
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,900
have been on the plus 35 and
they were already on their heels

418
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,900
to plays into the game.
So I'll throw a caveat out

419
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:38,700
there.
You know, it's a delicate

420
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:42,800
balance right now because, you
know we've talked about it this

421
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,900
team in.
Terms of overall Talent overall

422
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:49,100
depth is not good enough to make
a lot of mistakes.

423
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,100
And then still win a game.
So now you've got a mistake

424
00:24:54,100 --> 00:25:00,200
early on but then you let that
mistake feed over into other

425
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,300
things even though you know
you're playing more

426
00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:05,500
conservative.
But you're playing on those not

427
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:11,300
to not to lose the game now and
we can't pray like that.

428
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:14,300
Can't play like that.
We've got to, we've got to find

429
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:18,400
the line between making sure we
don't make those dumb mistakes,

430
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,000
whether it's penalties, whether
it's Turnovers, but not getting

431
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,500
so gunshot that we're not
anything.

432
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,400
All right, well maybe it's what
the head man said and I know you

433
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,300
listened to it a little later
after the game and you felt like

434
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:37,200
it was both sides, but printer,
I called out how we're running.

435
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,700
Personnel after me seeing it.
And after what the offense did

436
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,400
to me, it felt like, he was
going right after the offense,

437
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,900
may be calling out, Tyler
bowling a little bit, maybe not.

438
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,900
But basically talking about we
cannot be vanilla as a team.

439
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:52,400
So the first thing you said, not
have another.

440
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,100
You can't even though team,
you're not that good enough, but

441
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:59,000
we must play the right players.
The most interesting one I heard

442
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:01,700
was right near the end of that
snippet and he talked about, we

443
00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:04,900
need the best players on the
field at all times.

444
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,500
Even if that includes having two
running backs on the field at

445
00:26:08,508 --> 00:26:12,700
the same time, when you hear
that and I know, as we get over

446
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:15,400
the defense, we can see what you
think he meant by on that side

447
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,700
of the ball because he did leave
it open-ended where you could

448
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:19,800
say, either side of the ball.
But when you hear that and think

449
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,700
offensive ly would have
potentially if you think we see

450
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:26,300
NC State in going forward.
Yeah.

451
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:28,700
I mean I think It's, you know,
it's a lot of things and he

452
00:26:28,700 --> 00:26:33,600
mentioned, he mentioned the
running back specifically, and

453
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,200
when I'm thinking of the running
backs, I'm thinking of that

454
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:43,200
third down call where you had
Holston out in the flat and it's

455
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,600
a, it's a laser, it's still a
catchable, ball hosting.

456
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,900
Can't handle it.
If you have, you know, one of

457
00:26:50,908 --> 00:26:53,700
your other two running backs out
there, you got Malachi Thomas

458
00:26:53,700 --> 00:26:56,800
out there.
You got Keshawn King out.

459
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,600
Is that ball handled?
Does do you get a catch and run

460
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,100
for another you know, 10 or 12
yards there to put you in

461
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:07,700
scoring range right there.
Versus have a pun on the next

462
00:27:07,700 --> 00:27:12,100
play, maybe.
And, you know, I think we're a

463
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:14,200
little too deep or we're still
filling this out.

464
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,000
I know, Malachi Thomas has just
been back for two games at this

465
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,700
point, but I think we kind of
know what we have with the

466
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:26,200
strength of Holston is and is
not at this point.

467
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:30,300
And unless he's staying in there
to block.

468
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,700
It's probably not a good play
for him.

469
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,600
I mean, just just being honest,
it's probably not a good play

470
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,600
for him.
All right.

471
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:44,800
What about the?
I think you just you got into

472
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,300
about why?
It shouldn't be vanilla and I

473
00:27:46,308 --> 00:27:49,000
think you've got to find the
right balance, but I think who

474
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,600
we are as a team.
There's not much bread and

475
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,500
butter you have none.
You have to be unique.

476
00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:58,500
You have to take shots.
Yeah, we gotta get creative for

477
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:00,000
sure.
We got to get creative with with

478
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,700
how we're getting the guys with
football.

479
00:28:02,300 --> 00:28:04,400
You want to have bread, buddy?
You want to have those plays?

480
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,400
You can lean on when things get
a little tight, but at the same

481
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,200
time you've got to be able to
throw wrinkles because if the

482
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,600
other teams playing tight and
their key in on what you're

483
00:28:14,608 --> 00:28:19,000
doing you got to throw them
something different and can't

484
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,100
just hope that they're going to
make a mistake and not.

485
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,000
Were they need to be every time.
It's almost like if you can take

486
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,500
away the vanilla look
potentially doing some unique

487
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,200
things will open up the things
we've done.

488
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,800
Well maybe not exponentially
like think that certain run

489
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,700
plays, it haven't went for seven
to carry that's going for two

490
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,900
but if you open it up just a
little maybe it goes 45 because

491
00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:45,100
until you've got them thinking
versus them read reacting.

492
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:49,600
Yeah, let me give an example.
So you know, we've run that

493
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,000
quick screen to the tight end a
lot.

494
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:57,300
Got ya, a lot of times we run it
out of regular trips, it's going

495
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:02,600
to Gallo from the wing.
We saw a bunch trips Bunch with

496
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:08,500
with Daquan in there where
Lofton and Gallo widen out and

497
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:11,700
get the blocks.
And that one had a lot of.

498
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:15,000
That was the one that got the
the first down, in the fourth

499
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,500
quarter.
We're Daquan called it got about

500
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:20,000
eight and then fought for the
last two to get the first down.

501
00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:24,300
Those little wrinkles like that
little adjustments.

502
00:29:24,300 --> 00:29:26,200
It doesn't have to be anything
major.

503
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,000
You can still essentially call
the same game, but just give it

504
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,200
a different look.
So they can't key pre-snap on

505
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:39,700
what you're trying to do.
All right, well let's flip and

506
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:43,900
let's talk about the next it I
think disappointed everybody

507
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,400
especially after we looked
versus pit and that's the

508
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,900
offensive line Play.
I Think Clearly the worst

509
00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:54,800
overall game for this units.
In Saudi you they allowed seven

510
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,100
sacks.
And I know that's a good.

511
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:59,800
Miami front.
The Run game was probably about

512
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,800
a yard per carry less than what
we wanted to be Braun.

513
00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:07,400
We were 2.6 of carry, you said,
if we were at 34 like 110 yards,

514
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:11,700
Probably had a better chance at
one yard more.

515
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:14,900
That's roughly where we are at
30 carry.

516
00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:19,400
So you obviously got in the film
room and did some breakdowns of

517
00:30:19,408 --> 00:30:21,400
me.
What were the issues there?

518
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:25,900
It was definitely the worst.
The overall game for that

519
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:32,100
offensive line since probably
ODU just you know the pass game

520
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:36,800
kind of was what it was.
The communication was off, it

521
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,900
seemed There wasn't, they did a
lot with delay blitzes, that

522
00:30:41,900 --> 00:30:45,300
really threw off the, the
communication, and kind of the

523
00:30:45,300 --> 00:30:48,200
switching that the offensive
line needs to do to kind of keep

524
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,800
that Shore.
And you couple that with the Run

525
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,200
game, where we weren't getting a
ton of movement between the

526
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,600
tackles especially we had to
generate a lot of, are you merge

527
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,300
with our quarterback this week
probably a little bit more than

528
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:04,600
I think we're comfortable with
weeks week for sure.

529
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,600
I like Wells, running more.
Um, I think that that's a

530
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,800
positive in terms of generating,
some additional offense but you

531
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,900
don't want to get in a situation
where you're having to have your

532
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:20,300
quarterback be the leading
rusher for your team.

533
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:24,200
We've seen that song and dance
before, we don't want to get

534
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,500
back to that.
Now we definitely don't want to

535
00:31:26,508 --> 00:31:29,400
get back to that.
So if you have a one-game here

536
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,600
there where your quarterback
breaks a couple long ones and

537
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
he's the leading rusher for one
game.

538
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,500
Fine.
You don't want him to go

539
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:39,600
week-to-week being And you know,
getting all about the same

540
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,600
number of carriers as your lead
back for you know, handful more

541
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:49,000
yards, that's not what you want.
So the offensive line definitely

542
00:31:49,100 --> 00:31:54,000
needs to figure some things out
whether that is switching around

543
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,100
Personnel.
It looked like, you know, we

544
00:31:57,100 --> 00:32:00,300
started the game a lot with a
lot of Jesse Hanson, we kind of

545
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:03,000
closed it with a little bit
more, Braylon more there at the

546
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000
end.
You know, you'd like to see and

547
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,400
hopefully, at some point we get
to A situation where we're

548
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,600
comfortable getting Xavier
chaplain on the field.

549
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,300
A lot more and Parker Clements
maybe off the field a lot more.

550
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:22,500
That I think that would, that
would help at least we'd know we

551
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:23,900
have.
And we can get some Reps for a

552
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:26,700
guy that we know is going to
have to play a pretty big role

553
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:29,400
for us come next season.
Absolutely, huge role.

554
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,100
And you mentioned Grant, Wells
legs.

555
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,800
I mean, let's talk about what we
saw Saturday on that.

556
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,000
I mean, he proved he's not a
statute now, is he tie rod or

557
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,700
any of those guys know?
But by proven that you hear

558
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:44,500
Pride talking post game, it can
be expanded.

559
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:47,500
And what I hear that expanded
knowing this offense, know what

560
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:52,200
you explain to me.
Or read option elements more RPO

561
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,400
elements.
And and then it kind of goes

562
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,900
back to what we talked about,
right?

563
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:59,900
Personnel saying if you're using
a little bit of the RPO, your

564
00:32:59,900 --> 00:33:02,000
lose a little bit of the read
option, along with his just

565
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,800
scrambling ability, it's going
to change defensive looks it's

566
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,500
going to probably make things
easier for the line and it's

567
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:10,300
going to make some passes easier
for him.

568
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:13,900
Yeah.
I mean we've been running some

569
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:16,200
of the read option at this
point.

570
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,700
We've been running some of the
RPO at this point.

571
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,200
It hasn't been as heavy
emphasis, as I thought it was

572
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,400
going to be before the season,
but I think some of that is a

573
00:33:28,408 --> 00:33:32,600
lot of the other base stuff
isn't as developed and as ready

574
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,900
as they wanted to be.
So they're not throwing as many

575
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:37,700
of these wrinkles out there, but
I think we've gotten to a point.

576
00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:41,800
Now, where we're getting stymie
to a point where we got to try

577
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,900
something different something.
In something that's already kind

578
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:48,100
of in the Playbook that we can
just kind of integrate a little

579
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:50,600
bit deeper in the game plan.
Week to week.

580
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:55,900
And I think that's where the RPO
in war zone comes into play.

581
00:33:56,700 --> 00:34:03,400
We saw a couple quarterback.
We saw a counter called me.

582
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:08,199
Yeah, we saw we've seen the
drawers all year on Long plays

583
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,900
which a couple times Saturday
actually made up significant

584
00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:17,100
yardage and that's fine.
And I mean he still isn't

585
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:19,300
running at a point like even
Saturday.

586
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:25,900
I mean he ran 16 times Which is
clearly the highest number that

587
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:30,400
he's ran all season and like you
said, I don't want him to have

588
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,699
to do that all the time.
I would like him to be, in the

589
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:37,400
8, to 10 range, just more
effective with the with those

590
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:42,100
design runs or would you lose
your coming off of reads or the

591
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:44,000
RPO?
I mean we can go back and look

592
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,199
at the tape and kind of decide
how many were designs, how many

593
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:50,199
were him just scrambling?
Because if you're saying in this

594
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:53,800
safety wrench 16 times, but if
eight were designs at Scrambles

595
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:57,600
then then we're probably okay.
I think what you're saying is

596
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,600
designed room, you don't want to
see them.

597
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,500
Specifically saying this is his
play verse.

598
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:05,800
Yeah I don't want to say 12 plus
times a game, we're running our

599
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,600
quarterback in the design
fashion.

600
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,800
But if you're saying it's 10
designs and then you've got in

601
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,900
his head, you hit 12 because of
this concept.

602
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:17,400
These are you know, we're
running double vertibird post.

603
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,000
We're running people off.
If there is a lane, don't try to

604
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,800
get you.
The third re you probably Have 5

605
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,200
to 10 yards of space where you
do have enough legs to get us

606
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,700
positive yardage versus taking a
sack.

607
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:35,600
Yeah I mean I'd like to see
maybe four or five where you

608
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:40,900
know it's it's Grant all the way
he's not reading he it's not our

609
00:35:40,900 --> 00:35:44,100
po.
It's not Zone it's just grants

610
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:49,400
running the ball display and I
like to see another probably 5

611
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,400
to 6 where he has the option to
run.

612
00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:58,800
And maybe even a few more than
the, but I wouldn't go much

613
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,900
heavier than that right now.
But there's but there's things

614
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:06,300
that we can do kind of off of
that, that will get take a

615
00:36:06,308 --> 00:36:09,200
little more pressure off of him.
And I'm hoping that we can do

616
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,900
some more creative things that
are running.

617
00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:13,500
A my no Prime Mansion you know
to backfield sets.

618
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:16,200
You know, you got a guy like
King that we can split a guy

619
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,600
like chance black that you can
split out.

620
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,800
Have you managed of it?
Yeah, take advantage of it.

621
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,000
Create some mismatches.
Create some different looks for

622
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
the defense.
Think about it.

623
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Like, catch them misalign.
I mean, there's so many things

624
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,800
you can do with with those
different Personnel that might

625
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,400
catch the defense off guard
there.

626
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:38,900
Well, think about an RPO pop
skirt or a pop swing pass.

627
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:41,500
Where if you've got King and
Malachi in the backfield and

628
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:45,400
you're reading hard and just let
King run to the flat, Are you

629
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,600
immediately going to be avoiding
somebody like a linebacker or

630
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,400
safety if you're doing that?
Absolutely because if they

631
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,600
decide to stay in the boxing
Grant read that you're talking

632
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,600
about going to a flat where now
if the wide outs are upfield and

633
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,000
blocking it could be a lot of
yards and what does that do the

634
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,400
next time you immediately see
the linebacker change their

635
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,400
Direction, they don't bite in on
the run and then you might have

636
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,100
numbers inside the box but we
could get deeper into that.

637
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:14,800
And I'm like, yeah.
Yeah.

638
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
I'll tell you another thing.
I like to see, we've run a lot

639
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,400
of those quick screens to the
tide in and quick screens to the

640
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,000
running back.
When we're in shotgun, I'd like

641
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:28,100
to see maybe something where you
either run a wheel off of that

642
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:32,400
or you know you're looking
you're showing that and then

643
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:37,200
throwing back, throw that into
the ocean to the opposite side

644
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,800
of where you're seeing that most
you right now.

645
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,400
They're jumping that every time
they're jumping it.

646
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:47,100
And we got to start burning them
a little bit when they're taking

647
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:49,500
those risks and jumping that you
know, something that they've

648
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:51,100
seen on tape a lot at this
point.

649
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,500
Absolutely.
All right, well I think I'm

650
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:57,000
gonna hit one more piece here.
I think as we go into next year

651
00:37:57,700 --> 00:38:00,700
talking about we've talked a lot
about Thomas and we talked to

652
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:02,400
right?
And we saw Lofton, make a hell

653
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,300
of a catch on Saturday in
Braylon more getting one more

654
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:07,300
play time.
I think the young players on the

655
00:38:07,300 --> 00:38:11,300
offense you've got a foundation,
they're not all right.

656
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,600
Young, they're going to be here,
at least two to three more

657
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,900
seasons, roughly mom.
And with guys like Caleb Smith,

658
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
even Wells coming back next
year.

659
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:26,000
If they find the Parker Clements
of 2021 and bring him back,

660
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,300
significantly, help, I'm still
trying to figure out what's

661
00:38:30,300 --> 00:38:33,100
happened to him and I think I
have a feeling in the offseason.

662
00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:35,900
You're going to be pulling up
2021 tape and 2022 tape of him

663
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:36,900
and be like, what's the
difference?

664
00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:40,400
But how does it make you feel
foundationally for the next

665
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,800
couple Seasons?
No.

666
00:38:41,900 --> 00:38:45,200
Knowing the guys who were
showing out the most right now,

667
00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:47,300
are some of the youngest in that
room.

668
00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:51,400
Yeah, a lot of the young players
on offense of definitely stepped

669
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,500
up, you know, we talked about
right, and Thomas in particular,

670
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:58,800
still really early into their
careers, you know, Loft and I

671
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,500
know he had the big drop, but,
you know, I think he's coming

672
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:05,200
along.
Hopefully, we can, we can get

673
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,600
some, some more consistency with
his hands.

674
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,200
He met, he catches the hard
ones, man.

675
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:15,400
He does.
The degree of difficulty, is up.

676
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:20,900
He bring those in, he made that
Catch this past week against

677
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:23,500
Miami.
He made that big where he

678
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:26,000
climbed the ladder and brought
it down against piss.

679
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:29,800
So I mean, he makes those high
high degree of difficulty

680
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,300
catches, we just got to get him
to bring in those routine.

681
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:36,400
Ones with greater routine,
right?

682
00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:40,200
I don't percent then more, I
think just getting more

683
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,300
consistent snaps maybe even
getting a start here as the

684
00:39:44,300 --> 00:39:48,200
season goes along, I think would
be good for his maturity.

685
00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:50,600
Me and coming along in the
offense.

686
00:39:51,700 --> 00:39:53,600
Absolutely.
All right, let's flip over to

687
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,200
the defense side of the ball
now.

688
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,400
Brian.
Let's first of all, we welcome

689
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,600
back to players to on Garbutt
who had missed the pit game, who

690
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,600
had a really big day with a sack
and a half three.

691
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,400
Tackles for loss five.
Total tackles also Allen Tisdale

692
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,600
back Allen, Tisdale with nine
tackles second, Auntie mahina,

693
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,500
Jalen strowman.
And I think we really saw it

694
00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:21,600
Shore up the defense and again,
address even more that That this

695
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,200
is a good defense.
Is it great note but it is a

696
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:28,400
good defense that you know.
Brian if I told you, you know,

697
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,400
eight days ago on Wednesday,
night on Tuesday night.

698
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:32,800
Brian.
We're going to leave you.

699
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,300
We're going to hold them to 20.
Are you going to take it?

700
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,600
I take it all day, man.
If you said that we were only

701
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,000
going to allow 20 points in that
game.

702
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,600
I said there's at least a 60%
chance, we win that game.

703
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,400
And if the offense and showed a
little bit more life there in,

704
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,600
probably been about a 60%
chance, we would have won that

705
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:54,500
game so you know, I'm fine with
the output of spec.

706
00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:59,800
I'm really impressed.
With the adjustments that we saw

707
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:05,800
at have time because almost
everything that we did at

708
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:10,200
halftime took away, what they
were doing, well, in the first

709
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:15,200
half.
And I mean, the biggest one was

710
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,500
giving us a whole lot more of
monster d'Alene.

711
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:25,500
We got a whole lot more of, we
got a got a lot more cam Johnson

712
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:29,200
to, but we got a whole lot of
the freshmen, cornerbacks got

713
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,900
some run in the second half and
they showed out and they showed

714
00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:38,400
out consistently and in
particular delaying went up

715
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,600
there and was you know, High
pointing balls, getting it

716
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,500
getting some some some
deflections and I mean he was

717
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:49,000
like the third-year player.
Yeah, look like the third-year

718
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,400
player on Saturday at the of the
condensed and highlight.

719
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:59,200
So I'll say this, he looked
eerily like when we got Kendall

720
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,300
Fuller on the field as a true
freshman.

721
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,100
Okay.
Yeah.

722
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,300
All right.
Now don't get me wrong.

723
00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:11,000
The defense, have some errors in
the first have absolutely but

724
00:42:11,500 --> 00:42:14,900
they if somebody said well it
would have been a blowout.

725
00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:17,100
Should have been a blow out.
My knee took the foot off the

726
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:19,700
pedal.
No, Miami could not run the

727
00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:22,200
ball.
That's why I could run the whole

728
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,900
game.
I mean, dang, they couldn't run.

729
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:27,200
Yeah, and I mean, you're talking
about think about this, you

730
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,300
know, Miami.
They had five runs or more of

731
00:42:31,300 --> 00:42:36,100
nine yards or 72 yards.
Longest one was 15 the rest of

732
00:42:36,100 --> 00:42:43,600
the game they have 35 on like
23, they were lower than us for

733
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,000
those 23 and I mean I think
having Tisdale back was big on

734
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,600
that and I think having Corbett
back was big on that.

735
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,200
When you looked at some of the
tapes, how much better will it

736
00:42:53,207 --> 00:42:55,300
run fits?
Especially with garbett and

737
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:58,800
Tisdale bad?
Definitely more consistent.

738
00:42:58,900 --> 00:43:02,800
There were still a couple that
weren't quite what you want but

739
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,200
we didn't we didn't they didn't
have a running back that could

740
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,400
burn us and when they had that
like Pride was talking about a

741
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,700
lot of the guys in the
secondary, we're taking some

742
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:15,100
better angles at helping clean
that up.

743
00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:17,300
So you didn't see see the big
gains.

744
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:20,200
And I know we spoke last week
when we talked about Miami, you

745
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,600
know, they get They don't get to
the second level and completely

746
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,000
towards you.
Like pit does pits very much if

747
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,000
you get them.
In the first three or five

748
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,400
yards, they're not going to do
very much.

749
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,700
If you let them get past five
and you have put a body on them,

750
00:43:35,100 --> 00:43:39,100
you're in fucking trouble and
Amy is not that at the running

751
00:43:39,100 --> 00:43:44,200
back position and we saw it and
you know, we were able to keep

752
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,600
them in.
Check now pass defensible

753
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,000
different story.
I think it's showing every week

754
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,800
how much were missing?
Dorian, strong and him not

755
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,000
coming.
Back this week I'm wondering if

756
00:43:57,500 --> 00:44:02,700
If he's back against NC State
and again, it sort of hurts the

757
00:44:02,700 --> 00:44:05,200
whole rotation, it's one reason
Jalen Stroman had a ton of

758
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,100
tackles, he was playing the free
spot a lot.

759
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,900
And Brianna Marie is probably
the most frustrating players

760
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,400
right now because there are
times where you look at his tape

761
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,300
and it's like he does everything
perfect and it's great.

762
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:22,200
And then there's some of those
plays like on some of the Miami

763
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,100
early drives where it's just
that passing the back of the end

764
00:44:26,100 --> 00:44:28,600
zone.
Maybe he got picked or

765
00:44:28,607 --> 00:44:31,300
something, but it looked like.
He'd almost given up on catching

766
00:44:31,300 --> 00:44:33,100
that whiteout.
Yeah.

767
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,400
And maybe he got picked TV
angles.

768
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,000
You got to get all 22s where you
can see on the back half, but it

769
00:44:40,008 --> 00:44:41,700
was like, he almost gave up on
that play.

770
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,900
And if he gives up on that play
it's like maybe that's why we

771
00:44:44,900 --> 00:44:49,300
saw in the second half of
listen, you can't give up on a

772
00:44:49,300 --> 00:44:53,200
plate, weird things happen in
football and I hope that's not

773
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,600
the case.
I just hope it was one of those

774
00:44:54,600 --> 00:45:01,900
weird things where he tripped or
stumbled or but, you know, I'll

775
00:45:01,900 --> 00:45:07,000
say this.
So, you know, I appreciate what?

776
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,800
What Briana Murray brings to the
table.

777
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:17,700
He's got some decent skills, but
I saw enough In Miami where he

778
00:45:17,700 --> 00:45:19,800
doesn't need to be the first guy
out in.

779
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,800
Okay.
Less unless unless there's two

780
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,600
or three corners out of that
game for injuries, he doesn't

781
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:32,000
need to be the first guy.
And we've talked about it

782
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,400
before, we're comfortable with
him as, as a guy were you can

783
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,400
throw in for a series here or
series there to give a guy a

784
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:46,300
blow that needs a blow and as
we're seeing having to lean on

785
00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:52,000
him for significant portions of
a game, it's been a struggle.

786
00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:56,300
It's been very up and down and
that's against Miami, that's

787
00:45:56,300 --> 00:46:00,700
being kind.
So, I mean it's different.

788
00:46:00,700 --> 00:46:04,500
It's difficult to watch is it's
hard to say that about a guy.

789
00:46:04,500 --> 00:46:06,200
That's a, you know, a veteran,
that's done.

790
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,500
Some good things for your team
and his time here.

791
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:13,900
But I'm going with the two
freshmen before I want to see.

792
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:19,100
Breanna Murray on the field
again and write something else

793
00:46:19,100 --> 00:46:21,900
that happened.
Mr. Peeples gets ejected for

794
00:46:21,900 --> 00:46:27,100
targeting and you, I think you
texted me because I was there,

795
00:46:27,100 --> 00:46:29,900
and I saw some type of mine who
was Was it and you're like Missy

796
00:46:29,900 --> 00:46:33,100
I was like I'm man and then you
texted me a little later and

797
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:36,100
I'll just do the radio and
you're like this isn't hurting

798
00:46:36,100 --> 00:46:37,500
us as much as I thought it
would.

799
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:40,200
So who you know, I think the
Sears back this week will

800
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,100
clearly be the starter again,
but who took over the strong

801
00:46:43,100 --> 00:46:45,700
safety role.
When that happened, we saw

802
00:46:45,700 --> 00:46:47,700
strowman in there a lot when we
went and nickel.

803
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:54,000
We saw a lot of DJ Harvey, so
there there wasn't a lot of drop

804
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,400
off because of the the mix of
those two getting in there.

805
00:46:58,900 --> 00:47:01,000
DJ held up.
Well, he made some plays out

806
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,400
there and then we saw strowman
that was out there doing a

807
00:47:04,408 --> 00:47:07,500
really good job and obviously
Stroman in particular has played

808
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:12,200
a lot of snaps in kind of a
secondary role this year and it

809
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,600
on nickel package is so seeing
him getting a more consistent

810
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:21,000
role for all for all three
steps, there was good, he

811
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,400
actually showed up very well.
Yeah, we keep mentioned, a lot

812
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,900
of younger guys, names, more and
more, and more and playing the

813
00:47:26,900 --> 00:47:30,800
best last piece, Brian.
And I know you hate being,

814
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,500
right?
But you said it last week, like,

815
00:47:32,500 --> 00:47:35,400
if we keep them at 40%, we have
a chance to win this game.

816
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:41,200
They were 47. 40 percent is
roughly one less plate, one or

817
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,000
two less plays.
If you think Van Dyke Granite

818
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,100
late to get the third down, that
kept them the ball, obviously

819
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:52,000
numerous times during the during
the game.

820
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,200
Where they're The scoring range
they get in scoring range or if

821
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,600
it's a stop, some of those third
and Long's or second and Long's

822
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,200
where they make it up and now it
kind of hinges.

823
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,300
It's like I know you hate being
right?

824
00:48:06,300 --> 00:48:08,200
But does it frustrate you even
more?

825
00:48:09,100 --> 00:48:11,900
You watch the whole game and I'm
sure after the game, you're down

826
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:12,700
at the beach.
I'm sure.

827
00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:14,500
You went out to lunch dinner.
Watch some games.

828
00:48:14,500 --> 00:48:17,500
Those did you look at your phone
and see that percentage in like

829
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:20,100
shit.
Shit.

830
00:48:20,100 --> 00:48:24,800
One play.
Yeah I mean and you know you

831
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,700
pointed out the I'd say you like
two or three of the Tyler Van

832
00:48:28,700 --> 00:48:31,500
Dyke runs if you take those away
it's a different game.

833
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,300
Your credit to him for being of
the extend plays and make some

834
00:48:35,300 --> 00:48:39,400
good reads on some of those read
options obviously some some

835
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,100
points of those games.
You're crashing hard, you're

836
00:48:43,100 --> 00:48:47,400
trying to make a play, he made a
smart move and pulled it, and

837
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,200
was able to run for a first down
on a couple of those.

838
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:51,900
And that's kind of the
difference in the game.

839
00:48:51,900 --> 00:48:54,700
I think, you know, they were
getting a couple more plays here

840
00:48:54,700 --> 00:48:57,300
there, and we weren't making the
plays that were there,

841
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,900
especially on offense sometimes.
So that's just how it goes.

842
00:49:01,900 --> 00:49:05,100
I think this team is still
learning how to to win and how

843
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:08,600
to make those winning plays in
situations where a play can kind

844
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,200
of go either direction.
And we're just Making enough of

845
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,400
them yet.
Absolutely.

846
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,600
So, again, we'll close that
chapter.

847
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,600
As we go into the bye week,
Hokies fall.

848
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,500
We got Brian cops.
I feel like wholesome are in the

849
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:24,200
same position.
We appreciate your loyalty and

850
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,700
dedication, but the young Bulls,
you didn't get more snaps and I

851
00:49:26,707 --> 00:49:28,200
think that's probably what we're
going to see.

852
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,400
And we're seeing the head, coach
mentioning more and more.

853
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,200
Let's go into some news and
notes frying, catfish last week.

854
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,000
You ever read a tweet that looks
real?

855
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,400
And it looks like a real Source
Ryan.

856
00:49:41,500 --> 00:49:43,600
Austin was not fired last week
from Auburn.

857
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,400
I don't know how much longer
they're going to keep him though

858
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,500
because he lost again, but I
didn't find out till, like,

859
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:58,100
Saturday, and I'm like, sitting
there, like, Brian, who got me

860
00:49:58,100 --> 00:50:02,200
again, got me again, but
eventually he's gonna get fired.

861
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,000
Um, so I'll make up that Brian.
I know you were at the beach,

862
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,600
you're doing a lot of things,
but let me tell you some

863
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,000
Saturday.
That's one of those days for

864
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,300
college.
Ball that even though the Hokies

865
00:50:14,300 --> 00:50:18,300
lost and it sucks.
But maybe, as you get older,

866
00:50:18,300 --> 00:50:21,700
it's easier.
And we're slowly approaching 40.

867
00:50:21,700 --> 00:50:24,800
Maybe that's why makes it easier
for us the afternoon in the

868
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,800
nights later games, man.
I mean, three unbelievable

869
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,300
games.
Yeah, I mean, it was kind of, it

870
00:50:32,300 --> 00:50:34,500
was fun all day, man.
It was fun all day.

871
00:50:34,500 --> 00:50:38,600
We had, you know, we started the
day with our Hokies had some big

872
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,000
matchups in the afternoon, had a
good evening slate.

873
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,200
Got got to like check back and
forth on what Michigan.

874
00:50:46,300 --> 00:50:50,600
Doing during our game.
So, I mean, well, that became

875
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,200
very apparent about six minutes
into the second half.

876
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,100
They just turned on the
afterburners.

877
00:50:55,100 --> 00:50:56,900
Yeah.
And just left Penn State.

878
00:50:56,900 --> 00:51:01,800
Unfortunately, I was my pick was
Okie State, four and a half of

879
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,500
that day and gonna go to
overtime.

880
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:09,800
I make it, but give TCU credit
down 14, with, like under 10

881
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,500
left, they come all the way
back.

882
00:51:11,500 --> 00:51:18,100
And when the other game I was
tuned into Too late night Kyle,

883
00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:22,800
Winningham has balls of stone
because it's 4241, you're

884
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,300
playing USC and he says screw
over time.

885
00:51:25,300 --> 00:51:27,900
He goes 42 and they get it and
they beat USC.

886
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,000
Yeah, that was a big.
I was a big dump move.

887
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:35,000
They big nut move.
Now obviously though the big one

888
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:40,300
we both were watching.
I'm sure it made us all cry a

889
00:51:40,300 --> 00:51:42,600
little on the inside.
I'll hook you fans can admit it,

890
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:47,100
especially if you knew obviously
the hinted hooker thing but then

891
00:51:47,100 --> 00:51:49,800
who is throwing too.
But that was an unbelievable

892
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,800
game.
Start to finish, start to finish

893
00:51:53,700 --> 00:51:57,900
Tennessee, kind of gets out
early, Alabama claws back then

894
00:51:57,900 --> 00:52:02,900
it's a back-and-forth show to
kind of close things out and you

895
00:52:02,900 --> 00:52:05,000
get a missed field goal in One
Direction.

896
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,400
You get two, good plays by
Hendon and In field goal range,

897
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,400
field goal gets tipped.
It's tipped and it Knuckles

898
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,400
through the damn goal, post and
clears.

899
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:21,500
The upright by about that much.
Oh, that was wild and then, you

900
00:52:21,500 --> 00:52:24,300
know, love them, hate Tennessee,
you rushed the field on that,

901
00:52:24,300 --> 00:52:26,800
you do tear down the goalposts.
You go crazy.

902
00:52:27,100 --> 00:52:29,900
You tear down the goalposts.
You pull up some some Checker

903
00:52:29,900 --> 00:52:33,300
Turf.
Oh my God, the whole shebang,

904
00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:36,100
man.
I hope one day we can do that

905
00:52:36,100 --> 00:52:39,800
again in Lane Stadium.
By the way tomorrow?

906
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,300
Brian.
Do you know what tomorrow is?

907
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:49,900
Well, we got Sports Equinox.
Hey Equinox on 1020 for those

908
00:52:49,900 --> 00:52:51,300
who don't know what a sporty
could knock.

909
00:52:51,300 --> 00:52:55,800
Is basically every major sport
in this country including

910
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:00,000
college football will be played
tomorrow night baseball,

911
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,700
playoffs NFL college football,
hockey and NBA.

912
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:08,100
And it's was you should like
take off from work, but we can't

913
00:53:08,100 --> 00:53:10,200
because we've already taken too
many days off this year for

914
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,700
other things but you know it's
awesome when it happens.

915
00:53:14,900 --> 00:53:18,300
It really is because you can't
get away from it and it's one of

916
00:53:18,308 --> 00:53:20,700
those where it's, yeah, I'm not
watching a show tonight.

917
00:53:20,700 --> 00:53:25,500
I'm watching some sort of sport
Curtis wants yesterday's sick

918
00:53:25,500 --> 00:53:29,700
day back so he can take it
tomorrow Friday the Friday.

919
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:35,000
Alright, another thing that came
up and we saw some Hokies

920
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,900
respond so I had to put it on
here.

921
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,900
Someone I've seen in concert, I
think you saw in concert but

922
00:53:40,900 --> 00:53:43,100
Marty Smith takes put out there
in a tweak.

923
00:53:43,100 --> 00:53:47,600
What is the best?
Alan Some song, I'll let you

924
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,100
lead sir.
Alright, so my pick is Midnight

925
00:53:52,100 --> 00:53:55,800
in Montgomery.
It's the the ain't go song, you

926
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,600
know, there's there's like a
plethora of Hank Go songs, but I

927
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,600
put Midnight in Montgomery right
up there with the ride by David

928
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:07,900
Allan Coe, as the two upper
echelon, goes to Hank, Williams

929
00:54:07,900 --> 00:54:11,200
songs.
And then, the other one is, I

930
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,900
don't even know your name.
Jeff, Foxworthy in the This

931
00:54:14,900 --> 00:54:20,000
video some classic
tongue-in-cheek like fruit.

932
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:26,900
Yeah justjust great
quintessential 90s country song

933
00:54:27,100 --> 00:54:30,300
true true.
Both of them and two songs that

934
00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:33,600
a lot of people who here Alan
Jackson probably can't correlate

935
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,500
unless you follow the country at
that point in time I want to go

936
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:40,300
to both weepers the best song,
his all times here in the real

937
00:54:40,300 --> 00:54:44,100
world, my opinion.
Because the opening line of that

938
00:54:44,100 --> 00:54:46,600
song of cowboys don't die in
here.

939
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,700
Oh don't cry.
That gets here, because here in

940
00:54:49,700 --> 00:54:52,000
the real world, the boy don't
always get the girl, breaks your

941
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:58,200
heart and then someday.
I mean, just like the most weepy

942
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,100
ballad songs you ever heard, but
if you listen to them, the

943
00:55:01,500 --> 00:55:07,700
poetic piece in, there is big
and Brawn before we go to break.

944
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,900
Alan Jackson's got some all-time
weepers though.

945
00:55:09,900 --> 00:55:12,800
He does though, man.
Remember when Drive?

946
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,600
I mean it's he's he's he's one
of the greatest.

947
00:55:17,100 --> 00:55:20,100
I would say some people say
contemporary he's one of the

948
00:55:20,107 --> 00:55:23,800
greatest country song writers of
all time and all four songs we

949
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:30,000
mentioned Wrote, he wrote those
songs, some of the songs and

950
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,800
we're not even mentioned, where
were you, when the world stopped

951
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,200
turning.
And I, like what somebody said

952
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:38,200
on that one, like he wrote that
song and nobody helps tried

953
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,200
after that fact, Brian real
quick.

954
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:45,300
Before we go to break here on
dueling a remembrance because

955
00:55:46,100 --> 00:55:52,000
year ago today we lost one of
our best friends and you know,

956
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,700
You put up the story of your
Facebook page about the Rumple

957
00:55:55,700 --> 00:55:58,900
Minze, a which, to this day, we
were in college.

958
00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:02,000
Yep, Brown Wilkerson there with
this bunch of other buddies,

959
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:07,600
Robbie Jason and we make a shit
ton of shots with a variety of

960
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,400
Liquors.
One of them was Rumple Minze.

961
00:56:11,700 --> 00:56:13,400
Brian you mentioned on there,
man?

962
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:18,100
About that night and I remember
that night that he was the only

963
00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:20,700
person of our group that somehow
all night.

964
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:25,200
Didn't take a Rumple Minze shot.
Yeah, he knew.

965
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:28,700
Which one's had the blue label,
vodka, and which one's had the

966
00:56:28,700 --> 00:56:31,700
Rumple Minze?
And he had and my God, he got

967
00:56:31,700 --> 00:56:35,300
none of them.
And we got all of them and you

968
00:56:35,308 --> 00:56:38,600
were in college, you didn't spit
out liquor, but just one of

969
00:56:38,607 --> 00:56:41,900
those moments and, you know,
it's been a year I missed the

970
00:56:41,900 --> 00:56:44,400
test because he would be texting
us or putting something Right

971
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:49,200
now on here, and Brian will
always miss you man.

972
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:53,400
And and and I said, I'm not in
my post.

973
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,600
I am a man of many words,
anybody's ever, met me and talk

974
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:01,100
to me, I can, I can talk your
ear off all day, but for him and

975
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:03,600
I'm thinking this me and Brian
we miss you, man.

976
00:57:03,700 --> 00:57:07,200
We're always going to miss you.

Dash report.
Now back to the episode All

985
00:57:32,700 --> 00:57:35,900
right, Brian.
So let's get into the what if

986
00:57:37,300 --> 00:57:40,000
so, about a month ago?
I mean, Brian were kicking

987
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,300
around.
What do we do about?

988
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,700
Do we just go in and do a recap
and kick it?

989
00:57:44,300 --> 00:57:46,500
That wouldn't be fun.
We did that.

990
00:57:46,500 --> 00:57:49,800
Last year, we did that.
Yeah, we did this.

991
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,200
We got to keep you all over your
toes.

992
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,900
You can't just forgive the same
shit every year, exactly.

993
00:57:53,900 --> 00:57:59,500
But this year is the, what if
it's the, you know, wish you

994
00:57:59,500 --> 00:58:00,700
were here?
I miss you.

995
00:58:00,900 --> 00:58:02,700
You.
I wish I'd like to have that one

996
00:58:02,700 --> 00:58:04,100
back.
Think of all those songs in your

997
00:58:04,100 --> 00:58:09,200
head of all the hockey players
that left last year declaring

998
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:15,000
for the draft portal.
And all that who would be and we

999
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,200
were merging it for.
But Brian said that's too easy.

1000
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,800
We got to make it three.
Who are the three players?

1001
00:58:21,900 --> 00:58:26,500
You wish you could have back on
this team and then legibility

1002
00:58:26,500 --> 00:58:30,300
remaining that either left early
portal.

1003
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,800
So we start going through the
list and we've got our list

1004
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,100
here, and what we're going to do
is go through all the players

1005
00:58:37,100 --> 00:58:38,600
and then we're going to go
through.

1006
00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:44,300
Are 3, because there are three
do not match per se.

1007
00:58:45,500 --> 00:58:47,500
And then we're going to talk
about what we think we'd be at.

1008
00:58:47,500 --> 00:58:50,300
Now, let's start here.
Brian one guy, maybe kind of

1009
00:58:50,300 --> 00:58:53,300
unsung guy.
Pay daily.

1010
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,300
You know I'll let you give us
pros and I'll give some of those

1011
00:58:56,300 --> 00:59:01,700
kinds and we'll go why he's not
back essentially on us.

1012
00:59:01,700 --> 00:59:04,100
Yeah.
I mean the pros of him coming

1013
00:59:04,100 --> 00:59:06,700
back for his this year, he could
have given us more flexibility

1014
00:59:06,700 --> 00:59:10,300
at safety or Sam linebacker and
he would have provided some

1015
00:59:10,300 --> 00:59:12,900
additional leadership on the
defense as a.

1016
00:59:12,908 --> 00:59:18,700
Another veteran on that back end
and sort of the Cons with it is

1017
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,300
he was a solid but not as you
know, spectacular player.

1018
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,700
A good player and sometimes a
little bit inconsistent when

1019
00:59:25,700 --> 00:59:28,100
it's technique and I think as we
were discussing this and we're

1020
00:59:28,100 --> 00:59:31,100
talking Tay, I think the back is
just good enough.

1021
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,100
I think the back end is good
enough where it is in.

1022
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,200
You know, the only thing you
could say, is, could you save a

1023
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:40,800
red shirt?
And I think we're now to the

1024
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,300
point where saving a red shirt.
We're not seeing that work out

1025
00:59:44,300 --> 00:59:46,300
because some of the guys who are
playing are better.

1026
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,200
Yeah, absolutely.
All right.

1027
00:59:49,700 --> 00:59:53,000
Next on our list guy, we had on
this show, It was Jordan

1028
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,200
Williams.
Now the pros for Jordan I mean

1029
00:59:56,500 --> 00:59:59,600
he was one of we thought about
it long and hard maybe shouldn't

1030
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,900
be as high but we just did it in
an order because his body type

1031
01:00:03,900 --> 01:00:06,000
and his play style fits.
What we're doing on the

1032
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,100
defensive side of the ball
without a shadow of a doubt

1033
01:00:09,500 --> 01:00:11,800
gives that line even more
leadership.

1034
01:00:11,900 --> 01:00:15,200
And then by maybe I made the
point, he creates some winning

1035
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:19,800
match ups because of what we're
asking him to do, there would be

1036
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:24,100
times where Garbutt wouldn't be
getting Guard hand in his face

1037
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,800
as he goes around the end.
Yep.

1038
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:29,100
They would have to come inside
and focus on Jordan a little

1039
01:00:29,100 --> 01:00:30,300
bit.
It's another guy.

1040
01:00:30,300 --> 01:00:32,700
You got to look down for
heavily.

1041
01:00:32,900 --> 01:00:36,200
It gives you a veteran four-man
rotation.

1042
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,300
They're just, you know, there's
a lot of things that would that

1043
01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:41,500
would benefit their.
Now, the kind of him coming

1044
01:00:41,500 --> 01:00:44,700
back, I think he had kind of
already maximized his draft

1045
01:00:44,700 --> 01:00:47,500
stock, which we took into
account, because we have to

1046
01:00:47,500 --> 01:00:48,800
because that's their guy at
their money.

1047
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:53,000
Yeah.
And I think in terms of Oops, it

1048
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,600
would've been fewer steps for
Wilfred permit penne to grow

1049
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,800
into the position.
And if you're thinking

1050
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,900
long-term, that's probably
better for us in a year like

1051
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:08,000
this year, where is throwing a
guy like Jordan back in there?

1052
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,000
Make it big difference in the
win-loss column, you know, who's

1053
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:15,000
to say, absolutely.
So, if Jordan, and obviously,

1054
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:20,700
we've seen having food on seeing
Kendricks and Pinette and

1055
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,000
Pollard we played good.
Could he be beneficial?

1056
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,500
Yeah, absolutely.
All right, next one.

1057
01:01:26,500 --> 01:01:28,200
And this was one of the tough
ones.

1058
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:33,200
It was Jermaine Waller.
I mean, I love strong to death,

1059
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,400
but Waller is a better Corner
than him.

1060
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:37,700
Yeah.
Yeah.

1061
01:01:37,700 --> 01:01:41,000
I mean it's not light years
better especially you know we

1062
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,800
haven't really seen him not
banged up since 2019.

1063
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,200
Sure.
But he would have been an

1064
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,100
immediate number one corner on
the team.

1065
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,700
You know, he'd be back in a
system that better fits his

1066
01:01:51,700 --> 01:01:54,600
skill set.
We think about when he had his

1067
01:01:54,600 --> 01:02:00,600
best year, it was 2019 when he
was playing kind of more of a

1068
01:02:00,700 --> 01:02:04,500
similar style to what we're
playing now and you know, it

1069
01:02:04,500 --> 01:02:07,700
will given us some more rotation
flexibility in the secondary,

1070
01:02:08,500 --> 01:02:11,700
whether it's, you know, nickel
corner or different things like

1071
01:02:11,700 --> 01:02:13,500
that.
We have been able to get a lot

1072
01:02:13,500 --> 01:02:22,400
more matchup based situations.
We're not in any sort of Area

1073
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,200
where we're guys can take
advantage of mismatches.

1074
01:02:26,100 --> 01:02:28,100
Absolutely.
And I'll sort of the cons

1075
01:02:28,100 --> 01:02:32,100
similar to Jordan Williams.
He'd already maximized his draft

1076
01:02:32,100 --> 01:02:34,300
stock.
I think where he was where he

1077
01:02:34,300 --> 01:02:38,200
was, but for him, it was the
injury history to because if you

1078
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,100
think about that, you know, he
essentially retired from the

1079
01:02:41,107 --> 01:02:43,800
lines due to an injury.
What if it was something that

1080
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,400
happened in Spring ball where
like the trainers are like

1081
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,400
listening if you don't quit
football right now.

1082
01:02:50,300 --> 01:02:52,400
You're going to walk with a limp
for the rest of your life, or,

1083
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:55,300
you know, you're not gonna be
able to do these things.

1084
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,100
Yeah, I don't know what happened
to Troy but usually when a guy

1085
01:02:58,100 --> 01:03:00,100
retires like that, it's
something where they're saying

1086
01:03:00,100 --> 01:03:04,000
the rest of your life is going
to be affected by this, and then

1087
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,000
a lot of it, what keeps going
back to is?

1088
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,700
It's less snaps for Harvey and
struggling and obviously both of

1089
01:03:09,707 --> 01:03:13,800
them played very well on
Saturday and kind of playing

1090
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,800
well for the season.
So as much as it's a temptation

1091
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:22,500
to have Waller and strong and
really Probably turn a top.

1092
01:03:23,300 --> 01:03:26,400
That's a top, have a cc
secondary into probably an elite

1093
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,100
third.
We just neither one of us could

1094
01:03:30,100 --> 01:03:33,100
pull the trigger on.
Yeah, it was close.

1095
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:34,300
It was close for, sure.
It's closed.

1096
01:03:34,300 --> 01:03:37,000
Now, another one that I thought
Brian was going to pull the

1097
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,900
trigger on how much she loved
him, all these years was Raheem

1098
01:03:40,900 --> 01:03:46,100
Blackshear.
Now, I think we see how they've

1099
01:03:46,100 --> 01:03:49,800
used the players in this scheme.
How they Malachi had six balls.

1100
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,900
As we've seen them, run some
good place to Keshawn King.

1101
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,200
He definitely would have
probably got his skillset

1102
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:59,700
maximized.
It also would have meant a lot

1103
01:03:59,700 --> 01:04:03,500
better rotation when Thomas was
healthy, when shooting when

1104
01:04:03,500 --> 01:04:08,500
Thomas was injured and obviously
he's one of the he is already

1105
01:04:08,700 --> 01:04:12,000
after he got traded or released
inside North Carolina and

1106
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,900
against minors, he is showing
his value in the kick return

1107
01:04:14,900 --> 01:04:18,600
game and we saw that a few times
last year when he had big run

1108
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,400
backs.
So you Sort of that depth where

1109
01:04:22,100 --> 01:04:25,000
you again, it's sort of, as a
trickle effect, right?

1110
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,600
And if it helps with depth all
around because you don't have to

1111
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,200
rush him and Keyshawn out there
together, you can rush them out

1112
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,600
one at a time and so on, and so
forth.

1113
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:36,700
Now what's the cons on him?
Right, you know, I think that

1114
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,600
one of the cons is that he loses
some value with the healthy

1115
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,700
Thomas and then a Revitalize
Keshawn King this year.

1116
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:47,800
You know, you got three mouths
to feed Our who's going to get

1117
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,800
some of those carries is it
going to be kind of a true, you

1118
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,500
know?
Rotation is it going to still be

1119
01:04:52,500 --> 01:04:54,400
Thomas?
Kind of the lead guy and then

1120
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:58,800
you have black sheer and KK kind
of working in there and it's

1121
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:00,000
going to cause some of the young
players.

1122
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,000
Some reps.
I wish we could get brass Duke.

1123
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,900
Some more carries this year as
things goes along red shirts,

1124
01:05:05,900 --> 01:05:07,500
already burned.
So we might as well take some

1125
01:05:07,500 --> 01:05:10,200
Advantage there.
You probably wouldn't have that.

1126
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,100
If you had blacks back on this
team and kind of like the some

1127
01:05:14,100 --> 01:05:15,700
of the others we already talked
about he'd probably already

1128
01:05:15,700 --> 01:05:18,900
maximized.
Stock and especially, and

1129
01:05:18,900 --> 01:05:21,100
especially for his age, as a
running back.

1130
01:05:23,100 --> 01:05:25,600
You're running back incoming
backs, not going to

1131
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,900
significantly improve your dress
that and get out there get on

1132
01:05:28,900 --> 01:05:31,500
the team.
Find a roster spot and get

1133
01:05:31,500 --> 01:05:33,600
moving.
Do exactly what he's done when

1134
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,100
he got the Carolina.
Yep.

1135
01:05:35,100 --> 01:05:37,500
He nail has a roster spot,
probably for the rest of the

1136
01:05:37,500 --> 01:05:40,000
year there and they'll probably
bring him back next year, so

1137
01:05:40,300 --> 01:05:43,800
making the right decisions.
Now we're getting into the

1138
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,900
really tough ones that we left
off.

1139
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:48,700
And some people are going to
curse and say, how do you leave

1140
01:05:48,700 --> 01:05:51,100
these guys off?
The first one is Brock.

1141
01:05:51,100 --> 01:05:55,700
Hoffman and Brian.
I'll let you get into the pros

1142
01:05:55,700 --> 01:05:58,300
of why we could have brought
them back.

1143
01:05:59,100 --> 01:06:01,400
Yeah, I mean he would be an
upgrade on the offensive line

1144
01:06:02,100 --> 01:06:06,700
mainly because of his
versatility, his skill set would

1145
01:06:06,700 --> 01:06:10,900
also fit Rudolph skiing probably
as good or better than anybody

1146
01:06:10,900 --> 01:06:14,600
in the current line right now
and he's got a nasty streak and

1147
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,500
kind of sets the tone for the
off.

1148
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:21,000
It's so I think that would be
kind of a good personality to

1149
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,900
have on this style of Team, you
know.

1150
01:06:24,908 --> 01:06:27,300
But there are some cons Curtis
I'll let you roll with those.

1151
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:30,400
Well another big con we keep
going back to it more and more

1152
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,000
and more is he maximize his
draft stock?

1153
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:37,000
You know Brock was already
rocks, 23 years old in an

1154
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,100
offensive lineman it's very
similar.

1155
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,700
You start getting up there in
years, you know, Brian you

1156
01:06:42,700 --> 01:06:45,000
played for years, you hit a
wall, it's over.

1157
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,800
Now, you have you Freaks Like
Kelsey and Trent Williams who

1158
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,400
somehow complete 15 years.
They don't lose a step, but most

1159
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:56,200
times, it's 56 years and guys
done because of the hole in the

1160
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:57,300
punishment that takes on the
body.

1161
01:06:57,300 --> 01:07:00,100
So we maximize Drive stop.
He had to take it.

1162
01:07:00,100 --> 01:07:02,400
And now, you know, he's made
Cleveland's roster, great for

1163
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,700
him, the personal fouls and
penalties is something we've

1164
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:09,300
tried to clean up.
And a couple of those games have

1165
01:07:09,300 --> 01:07:11,000
brought was still on the
offensive line.

1166
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,800
I'm wondering if we could have
been closer to 200 yards of

1167
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,400
Total Building yard, we were
like to lie.

1168
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,200
Penalized team in power 5.
Last year.

1169
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:20,600
And like half of those were
Brock.

1170
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,100
Hoffman.
Exactly.

1171
01:07:23,300 --> 01:07:26,400
Probably the other.
Point significant upgraded

1172
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,800
Center.
We do say specifically Center

1173
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:33,100
because of obviously y'all don't
hear names being called, you're

1174
01:07:33,100 --> 01:07:36,800
going to figure out the rest but
Johnny's played well this year

1175
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,500
Johnny's clay came in and asked
to do good and he's done well

1176
01:07:41,500 --> 01:07:44,200
and it's tough to leave an
offensive lineman off because of

1177
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:48,200
the struggles we have but I
think as you get into it, you

1178
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:53,000
guys are going to see why.
Now, this was the biggie, this

1179
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:58,000
was the one.
We we literally last Friday On

1180
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,400
the phone for what?
Probably an hour and 20 minutes

1181
01:08:02,300 --> 01:08:07,600
and 25 were talking about this
guy and it's James Mitchell.

1182
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:11,100
Who's currently the Detroit
Lions?

1183
01:08:11,300 --> 01:08:15,200
He clearly would have been the
best athlete on the field.

1184
01:08:15,300 --> 01:08:16,600
On the offensive side of the
ball.

1185
01:08:16,899 --> 01:08:21,800
Ricardo to you, bring back the
other pieces, Brian and talked

1186
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:23,000
about it.
We're already seeing it with

1187
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,600
Daquan right and some with Nick
Gallo this really would have

1188
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,800
benefited.
Hits the coaching scheme of

1189
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,100
collarbone?
What a significantly benefited

1190
01:08:31,100 --> 01:08:34,700
him.
He got drafted in the sixth

1191
01:08:34,700 --> 01:08:37,899
round.
He got to be grafted mostly off

1192
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:42,300
some good Red Zone scores and
athleticism and the other thing

1193
01:08:42,300 --> 01:08:44,800
is you just said it Ron.
He could have potentially

1194
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:48,200
maximize his draft potential.
Now, does that mean day one?

1195
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:52,600
I'd say no, I would say no later
than early day three.

1196
01:08:52,600 --> 01:09:00,700
So probably somewhere between
pick Sin 115 the upper half of

1197
01:09:00,707 --> 01:09:02,700
the round for.
So he would have maximized about

1198
01:09:02,700 --> 01:09:04,300
24 around which would have been
a lot of money.

1199
01:09:04,300 --> 01:09:06,800
Yeah.
It's he probably goes from where

1200
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,800
he was to either late day to
early day three.

1201
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:14,100
Now there are few cons we only
got two, instead of three.

1202
01:09:15,399 --> 01:09:19,800
Yep, the biggest one is that
that's probably the deepest room

1203
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:23,100
in terms of ability in our
roster right now.

1204
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,200
We already have two hybrid
players that were working in

1205
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,399
obviously.
One is a true freshman and

1206
01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:34,000
Daquan right?
The other is Connor blumrich

1207
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,800
which we haven't really seen a
whole lot of sense.

1208
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:41,600
Rights kind of come on but you
know we still have guys at that

1209
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,200
position that we can line up and
get some production out of.

1210
01:09:44,700 --> 01:09:47,300
And I think the other one is
that he kind of knew he'd have a

1211
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:52,399
spot on an NFL roster, bit this
resume just based on that

1212
01:09:52,399 --> 01:09:56,100
athleticism.
Yep I mean his size his speed

1213
01:09:56,100 --> 01:09:58,800
and hands those They're already
there.

1214
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,600
You know, the only knock on him
was coming off the injury.

1215
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:05,000
Obviously, yep.
Not really being able to fully

1216
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,300
work out for a lot of these
teams before the draft.

1217
01:10:07,500 --> 01:10:10,900
And that was a point.
Me in Brian made about the

1218
01:10:10,900 --> 01:10:14,300
injury.
History, is a guy who has his

1219
01:10:14,300 --> 01:10:17,900
type of ability, teams will
draft even if they're hurt.

1220
01:10:18,100 --> 01:10:20,200
And if they aren't up to full
speed to begin, see, there are

1221
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:21,800
our the right on their full
paycheck.

1222
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,200
And I are on because a, a team,
like, the Lions know, there are

1223
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:29,200
certain teams who are very well.
L ran that will go snipe those

1224
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:33,100
players in a heartbeat and put
them on practice squad.

1225
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,100
And sometimes we leave through
the practice squad, they say,

1226
01:10:36,100 --> 01:10:38,400
well, you can go back there or
we'll give you half a million

1227
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:41,000
dollars to be a practice white
guy because we think you're

1228
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:42,300
going to be on the roster next
year.

1229
01:10:42,700 --> 01:10:46,300
So, I think he, he knew, he knew
that he was going to land, and I

1230
01:10:46,308 --> 01:10:49,200
think we look, he was already
fully guaranteed a million bucks

1231
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:50,900
this year.
So he's already got

1232
01:10:50,900 --> 01:10:52,500
life-changing money, right out
the gate.

1233
01:10:52,900 --> 01:10:54,400
Yeah.
All right.

1234
01:10:54,500 --> 01:10:59,600
So let's do this.
Brian, we have basically A one

1235
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:04,800
consensus, pick one opposite
pick and then two players.

1236
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,700
We sort of said I could take one
of the other, you'll probably

1237
01:11:07,700 --> 01:11:10,000
can guess the last two.
But let's start with the

1238
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,200
consensus problem.
Let's start with the seat is

1239
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,200
Smith and what he would bring to
this team for this year.

1240
01:11:16,500 --> 01:11:18,600
Yeah, I mean the big thing is an
immediate upgrade on the

1241
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,700
offensive line.
I think with his versatility he

1242
01:11:21,700 --> 01:11:24,000
could be a starting left guard
or left tackle.

1243
01:11:24,700 --> 01:11:27,600
That would move Silas back over
to write that would really

1244
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,100
assure up a lot of some of the
problems that we've seen on the

1245
01:11:30,100 --> 01:11:35,100
offensive line, provide veteran
leadership from a proven Talent.

1246
01:11:35,100 --> 01:11:38,300
So we've got some leaders out
there on this line, but Silas

1247
01:11:38,300 --> 01:11:41,800
has been in and out of the
lineup and up and down the depth

1248
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,600
chart his entire career.
Johnny wasn't a starter last

1249
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:47,100
year.
This will be a guy that was a

1250
01:11:47,108 --> 01:11:51,200
three-year starter that
immediately guys could respond

1251
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:54,100
to could lean on things of that
nature.

1252
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:58,900
He would likely adapt better to
the scheme and the adjustments

1253
01:11:59,300 --> 01:12:02,000
that were needed and can help
the others with that

1254
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,100
communication and things that
were needed to kind of get

1255
01:12:04,100 --> 01:12:07,000
everybody on the same page.
So that's going to lift the

1256
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:10,800
running game as a whole and it
would help in the passing game

1257
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:14,500
as well with some of those
protection calls and some of the

1258
01:12:14,508 --> 01:12:16,500
communications that's needed for
those switches.

1259
01:12:18,900 --> 01:12:21,400
And you mentioned Brian, how
this would everything would

1260
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,600
benefit the Run game as a whole
if he came back and I think

1261
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,400
that's 100% regardless what they
did with him.

1262
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,000
Regardless, if you say, hey
we're going to keep Solace at.

1263
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,800
We're going to, we're going to
move Silas, the left tackle,

1264
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:34,600
he's going to play left tackle.
And we'll see the cigar well,

1265
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:36,400
with some of those inside Powers
Grand.

1266
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:40,200
I'm sure there are times you see
it and you just think hatoful

1267
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:43,400
see, this will start.
That whole would have opened

1268
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:47,600
immediately kind of what you're
seeing from Braylon more and him

1269
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,300
being a Fix as a lot because he
went in the fifth round he could

1270
01:12:51,300 --> 01:12:55,300
have went a lot earlier shows.
You sometimes guard slip but I

1271
01:12:55,300 --> 01:12:59,000
think the leadership I think
having him like him and Silas

1272
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,500
both being there and having that
voice it just gives you so many

1273
01:13:02,500 --> 01:13:03,800
options.
Yep.

1274
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,600
And it's tough.
Not to say that guy's not on the

1275
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:10,200
team just by himself.
The team's not better when lost

1276
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:13,900
wise today.
That's a right.

1277
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,000
So write that down, Brian and
Curtis.

1278
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,700
We both wish lists M Smith and
what if he was back.

1279
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,500
Now, let's go into our opposites
because this is where we split.

1280
01:13:23,500 --> 01:13:28,800
I'll let you lead sir.
So I mean I'm an offensive line

1281
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:30,800
guys.
So what do you think I'm going

1282
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,600
to do?
I've got Luke tenuta coming back

1283
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,200
to play.
Left tackle for as you know, how

1284
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:35,900
we said.
Let's see.

1285
01:13:35,900 --> 01:13:39,600
This myth could play left guard
or left tackle in my scenario.

1286
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,800
He's playing guard because we
got Luke 2 It coming back to

1287
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,100
play left tackle.
We're side in silence over to

1288
01:13:45,100 --> 01:13:50,400
write either way and it's the
trickle-down benefits.

1289
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,100
Now, you've got a solid left
side, you've got Silas on the

1290
01:13:54,100 --> 01:13:58,600
right not having to have quite
as many responsibilities in

1291
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,900
terms of protecting the
quarterbacks Blindside provides

1292
01:14:01,900 --> 01:14:05,600
depth in case of injuries.
Now, you got Parker coming off

1293
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,700
your bench as the sub guy
instead of having to be relied

1294
01:14:08,700 --> 01:14:13,900
on every snap and it's a Upgrade
in the Run blocking and it's

1295
01:14:13,900 --> 01:14:15,800
more consistent past Pro.
As a unit.

1296
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:20,700
I know that tenuta sometimes
had, you know, little little

1297
01:14:20,700 --> 01:14:24,700
lazy sets that he get beat on,
but he was he's a lot more

1298
01:14:24,700 --> 01:14:26,700
consistent.
I think, overall, the what we've

1299
01:14:26,700 --> 01:14:30,100
seen this year from both
tackles, so he would definitely

1300
01:14:30,100 --> 01:14:33,500
have lifted that unit as a whole
and it could benefit Parker's

1301
01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:36,800
development kind of sitting back
another season, watching these

1302
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:41,200
guys work and kind of working in
when he had the opportunity.

1303
01:14:42,100 --> 01:14:44,600
Having to kind of be thrown to
the Wolves a little bit this

1304
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,800
year and seeing how he struggled
in this new system.

1305
01:14:48,100 --> 01:14:51,500
I think getting a little bit
more watch time a little bit

1306
01:14:51,500 --> 01:14:54,900
more extra rep time instead of
having to you know go out there

1307
01:14:54,900 --> 01:14:57,300
and show it could have benefited
him this year.

1308
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:01,100
All right?
And I went completely opposite

1309
01:15:01,100 --> 01:15:04,400
opposite side of the ball and to
me you got to bring him re bar.

1310
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,400
No back.
I mean the guy would immediately

1311
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:11,500
be the most Dynamic Athlete on
the field and I think with him

1312
01:15:11,500 --> 01:15:15,900
coming back.
Back as the opposite Edge rusher

1313
01:15:15,900 --> 01:15:18,100
with garbage.
You'd have a dynamic duo there,

1314
01:15:18,500 --> 01:15:20,200
right?
You'd have to orbit who's had a

1315
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:23,100
good season.
You'd have bar know who not many

1316
01:15:23,100 --> 01:15:24,700
left tackles to get their hands
on.

1317
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,800
I think you would move that room
in the defense from middle of

1318
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:32,900
the ACC, kind of top 40 country,
probably too near the top of the

1319
01:15:32,900 --> 01:15:37,900
ACC, probably top 20, top 15 in
the country having that sort of

1320
01:15:38,500 --> 01:15:41,700
pass rush presence.
But the other big pieces.

1321
01:15:41,700 --> 01:15:46,000
If he Back it allows McRae and
Nelson to develop without being

1322
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:49,100
asked to do too much and we are
asking them a lot to do.

1323
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,800
We are we are asking them to do
a lot this year.

1324
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,400
They've done well in spots, they
had some struggles in spots so

1325
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,700
for me is bad as the offense has
struggled.

1326
01:15:58,700 --> 01:16:01,800
Yes, it's 117.
Yes, we're struggling all over

1327
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,800
the place.
What's good make?

1328
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,900
Great because I've seen the top
15 defense.

1329
01:16:07,900 --> 01:16:13,000
Even with 100, ranked offense,
when 10 games and I still think

1330
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,200
that can happen now.
Brian.

1331
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:21,400
But other Iowa, I mean, I would
say gz, but, but here's the

1332
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:25,100
thing, Brian and I want to make
a Counterpoint to loosen it up.

1333
01:16:25,900 --> 01:16:29,000
I think bringing the seed is
back, and I think if he wasn't

1334
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,800
my one, if I didn't have a
little cetus to neuter, Hoffman,

1335
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:35,400
one of those guys.
A Mac, but I think having the

1336
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:40,500
Cedars back it automatically,
because if you feel like it,

1337
01:16:40,500 --> 01:16:42,900
goes back schematics, right?
Well, if you playing at left

1338
01:16:42,900 --> 01:16:45,700
tackle, you still start Hanson?
It Garden, can let Silas and

1339
01:16:45,700 --> 01:16:49,300
them battle in to your point if
Parker's not clicking.

1340
01:16:50,100 --> 01:16:52,900
Because Silas, playing Left For
the First Time.

1341
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,600
Yes, he's had his moments but
he's also done a decent job.

1342
01:16:57,700 --> 01:17:00,100
You know, I could see the, see
this doing that.

1343
01:17:00,100 --> 01:17:02,100
And having Hanson and still
letting more.

1344
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:07,200
Remember that your boy more
little more if placitas and Luke

1345
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,400
come back?
He is not getting the Run

1346
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:12,200
showing what he can do solidify
himself for next year.

1347
01:17:14,500 --> 01:17:22,100
That's a good point, but at the
same time, we've got a couple of

1348
01:17:22,100 --> 01:17:26,500
running backs that have shown
the ability of Thomas to make

1349
01:17:27,500 --> 01:17:31,100
good plays in the great plays
and King to be explosive and hit

1350
01:17:31,100 --> 01:17:34,700
the home run.
If we give them a little bit

1351
01:17:34,700 --> 01:17:38,200
more space to operate this
running game can be pretty

1352
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:42,400
dynamic.
So if you add in two other

1353
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:46,700
players to shore up the the
weaker areas of the of the

1354
01:17:46,700 --> 01:17:51,600
offensive line the trickle down
to me is much more important

1355
01:17:51,900 --> 01:17:55,500
than what bar?
No can bring on the other side

1356
01:17:55,900 --> 01:18:01,000
because I think, you know, McRae
doesn't has a similar skill set.

1357
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:04,500
Not quite as Dynamic.
Not quite as you know, the

1358
01:18:04,500 --> 01:18:06,600
combination of size and speed a
bar.

1359
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,400
No, but he's got a similar
skills that he's pretty pretty.

1360
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:15,200
Long and pretty fast.
I think what we can do on the

1361
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:17,700
offensive side will benefit us.
All right?

1362
01:18:17,900 --> 01:18:20,400
And see I'm on the exact
opposite because I think if

1363
01:18:20,500 --> 01:18:25,400
looking at the gains we've lost,
you know, you'd think you talked

1364
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:27,600
about Van Dyke.
There are times he just we

1365
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,900
couldn't get him off a spot.
I think Barney would have got

1366
01:18:29,900 --> 01:18:32,300
him off of spot.
I think bar no would have gotten

1367
01:18:33,300 --> 01:18:35,500
even though I see Carolina still
as a loss.

1368
01:18:35,500 --> 01:18:37,300
I think bar.
No would have got intrigued me

1369
01:18:37,300 --> 01:18:38,900
off a spot.
I think our know would have

1370
01:18:38,900 --> 01:18:41,900
helped significantly with the
run defense against West

1371
01:18:41,900 --> 01:18:45,700
Virginia and Much as I want to
put on the offense.

1372
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:50,500
The defense did break late and
could you imagine having that

1373
01:18:50,500 --> 01:18:56,100
one extra Dynamic player on the
field for 20 extra plays and

1374
01:18:56,100 --> 01:18:59,200
where it takes the total, but
we'll stop.

1375
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:00,800
There's our count printer
points.

1376
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,600
Brian's taking the second
offensive lineman Luke to new

1377
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:05,300
to.
I'm taking a maribor.

1378
01:19:05,300 --> 01:19:08,000
No at the edge.
Alright.

1379
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:12,400
Then we got to the to where we
kind of flip the coin because we

1380
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:17,700
could, they both would be good.
Brian, I'll let you Since you

1381
01:19:17,700 --> 01:19:19,900
want him in the coin, but I'll
let you start with your guy

1382
01:19:19,900 --> 01:19:24,200
first.
Alright, so I'm we're targeting

1383
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:25,300
here.
Wide receiver.

1384
01:19:25,300 --> 01:19:29,000
Yes, we are.
And I went Trey Turner here.

1385
01:19:30,500 --> 01:19:33,000
I think, you know, putting him
on this team, he's immediately

1386
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:36,400
wide receiver one.
I appreciate what Caleb Smith is

1387
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,500
doing, but just trays ability to
run.

1388
01:19:39,700 --> 01:19:43,800
I think a different combination
of routes would have helped and

1389
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,500
just his veteran presence would
have helped.

1390
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:51,400
At this team, it would also
allow Smith to operate without

1391
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:55,500
as much attention trade trade
with at least draw an equal.

1392
01:19:56,400 --> 01:20:00,700
You know, respect across that
line, you wouldn't quite have as

1393
01:20:00,700 --> 01:20:03,400
many people keying on what Caleb
Smith is doing.

1394
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:09,200
If you got Trey Turner opposite
them, the leadership and Veteran

1395
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:10,800
presence in the wide receiver
room.

1396
01:20:11,100 --> 01:20:14,000
I think that's big trade.
We've definitely a leader.

1397
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:20,200
He was a guy that you could tell
love the It was kind of, you

1398
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:25,600
know, a great voice in the room
and it creates a, you know, he

1399
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:29,100
has a versatile skills that wide
receiver, he never ended up

1400
01:20:29,500 --> 01:20:34,400
becoming the, you know, the the
huge presence that I think some

1401
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:37,700
people thought he would as a
freshman, but he is a very, very

1402
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:39,500
solid player.
Would definitely be wide

1403
01:20:39,500 --> 01:20:42,300
receiver one on this team and he
can do a lot of different

1404
01:20:42,300 --> 01:20:45,400
things.
Whether it's, you know, do stuff

1405
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:49,400
out of the back field, Old jet
sweeps, all sorts of things.

1406
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:51,600
So he showed that he has the
versatility to do a lot of

1407
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:53,600
different things.
In an offense, I think having a

1408
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,600
veteran like that on the team
would have been a big boost.

1409
01:20:57,100 --> 01:20:59,800
Yeah.
And obviously if Brian went tray

1410
01:21:00,300 --> 01:21:02,000
I was on the opposite side of
the coin.

1411
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:06,400
I went Kay Robinson immediate
upgrade in the slot and at the

1412
01:21:06,407 --> 01:21:10,600
wide receiver position cable
Smith has played great this year

1413
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,900
at The X.
So I think having Tavon there

1414
01:21:14,500 --> 01:21:18,500
would be a huge up Grade, he
fits the scheme.

1415
01:21:18,500 --> 01:21:21,800
Well, there are a lot of things
that we are seeing done with the

1416
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,500
other receivers that you feel
like, if Taylor Robinson had

1417
01:21:24,500 --> 01:21:28,700
just hung out, maybe he's not
where he is with Kentucky, with

1418
01:21:28,700 --> 01:21:30,500
this debts.
I mean his stats in Kentucky

1419
01:21:30,500 --> 01:21:33,600
this year pretty daggone good.
I mean averaging over 15 and a

1420
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:38,000
half, a catch almost 400 yards
and six games he is well on his

1421
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:44,100
way to easily breaking his his
yards and touchdown set when he

1422
01:21:44,100 --> 01:21:48,400
was with the Hokies all So that
special team and don't get me

1423
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:52,700
wrong, but we haven't fumbled.
But like once this year on

1424
01:21:52,700 --> 01:21:57,000
special teams but with him, you
know, it's Dynamic, you know, if

1425
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,100
you're punching to Tavian
Robinson.

1426
01:22:00,300 --> 01:22:03,800
You might have to leave one less
guy into potentially, not block

1427
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,200
the pain to get down field
because we know he can take them

1428
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,600
to the house.
We know he can get you big field

1429
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:12,900
flipping returns and I think
that's another really crucial

1430
01:22:12,900 --> 01:22:16,800
element because you put the fear
in special teams.

1431
01:22:17,300 --> 01:22:20,500
And then again you mentioned
what Trey I think it's the same

1432
01:22:20,500 --> 01:22:22,000
with taste a versatile skill
set, right?

1433
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,500
We saw these guys forums, we saw
them do different things and

1434
01:22:25,500 --> 01:22:28,500
that Woods makes them so
important and it may be a reason

1435
01:22:28,500 --> 01:22:31,600
we didn't bring Mitchell back
his It was more than one element

1436
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:36,900
in the gain that can affect and
to us we kind of discussed it,

1437
01:22:36,900 --> 01:22:38,600
they were both mythical.
That's why Miss.

1438
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:41,300
We literally had a coin toss who
was going to talk about who

1439
01:22:42,900 --> 01:22:45,900
because we look at that room
Braun and what's it missing?

1440
01:22:46,900 --> 01:22:50,100
It's missing like one top-end
talent and Leadership.

1441
01:22:50,100 --> 01:22:51,400
That's what it's missing the
most.

1442
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,900
You know, if you got a leader
and you got a top in player, you

1443
01:22:55,900 --> 01:22:58,700
know, you probably turn in some
of these plays that were

1444
01:22:58,700 --> 01:23:01,200
missing.
In the first downs in two

1445
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:07,600
touchdowns.
Absolutely and and you know and

1446
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:09,900
that's what kind of stinks going
through here and look at it all

1447
01:23:09,900 --> 01:23:12,600
the players potentially come
back, we chose three.

1448
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:20,600
It is a few players from being a
better team and that's where the

1449
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,300
other long part of our
conversation on Friday.

1450
01:23:23,300 --> 01:23:26,100
When we talk was.
All right, Brian, where's our

1451
01:23:26,100 --> 01:23:30,800
team of our three guys, come
back And I sat there and told

1452
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:35,000
you that I think Carolina's a
loss regardless, I do.

1453
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,500
But I think if I were three
players come back, I think I'd

1454
01:23:38,500 --> 01:23:40,900
chalk up Carolina as a loss.
I don't chalk up.

1455
01:23:40,900 --> 01:23:43,200
A TOD you as a loss.
I think that's a win.

1456
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:45,900
I think we would have scored a
lot more points on them, and

1457
01:23:45,900 --> 01:23:47,800
probably kept them.
The less points with bar, no

1458
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:51,100
attacking off the edge.
And then I think of one of the

1459
01:23:51,100 --> 01:23:55,700
other games is, I think hit or
the Miami game goes, the way of

1460
01:23:55,700 --> 01:23:59,100
the Hokies with those guys, and
I know we can say, well, my No.

1461
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,800
Excuse me.
Yeah, Pitter Miami.

1462
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:04,600
All right.
No not there yet.

1463
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:06,700
Mommy was your Junior.
I think two of those, three go

1464
01:24:06,700 --> 01:24:08,400
the Hokies way.
Because if the West Virginia

1465
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:12,100
game, that was still a game
going into the fourth, same with

1466
01:24:12,100 --> 01:24:14,400
the pits, same with the Miami
Hurricanes.

1467
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:18,100
I think we flip a couple of
those because of having both

1468
01:24:18,100 --> 01:24:20,600
sides of the balls present, so I
think we're probably sitting

1469
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:24,200
five and two right now.
And, yes, I have maroon colored

1470
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:28,000
glasses on tonight.
I think we're at least four and

1471
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:29,100
three.
I think we're at least above

1472
01:24:29,100 --> 01:24:33,200
500.
If you put those three, As back

1473
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:36,900
on this team, I think you
definitely went over to you, and

1474
01:24:36,900 --> 01:24:39,300
I think he probably take down
Miami for sure.

1475
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:44,000
You, make pit, you know a big
conversation late and you make,

1476
01:24:46,700 --> 01:24:49,700
you make West Virginia, a
conversation late as well.

1477
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:54,700
But the guys, I'm adding back on
aren't helping the defense a

1478
01:24:54,700 --> 01:24:57,700
lot.
I feel like defense is what hurt

1479
01:24:57,700 --> 01:24:59,900
us the most in those games.
Hmm.

1480
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:04,100
So you know not be noticed
Generate offense hurts but you

1481
01:25:04,100 --> 01:25:08,400
know, the the defense still
didn't, you came apart late?

1482
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,500
I think they probably still give
up the same amount of points,

1483
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:16,000
and I'm not sure even with these
additions if we can match that.

1484
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,100
But so I've got to sit for in
three.

1485
01:25:18,100 --> 01:25:22,400
I've got us winning ODU and
winning against Miami with

1486
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:26,500
these, with these players back
on the roster, all right?

1487
01:25:27,900 --> 01:25:30,900
Alright.
Now the last part of our

1488
01:25:30,900 --> 01:25:34,200
exercise we did in this didn't
take as long as it Brian.

1489
01:25:34,300 --> 01:25:36,900
What if like, six of these
players come back and let's say

1490
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:42,100
that the guys we talked about,
let's say we both get that we

1491
01:25:42,100 --> 01:25:45,200
get because I'll agree with
Brian Luke was up close to me,

1492
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:51,200
but let's say we get Two new de.
You get bar know, you get both

1493
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:53,400
wide receivers, you get, let's
see this.

1494
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,600
That's five, right?
Yeah, that's that's the five

1495
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:59,600
that we discuss in.
We said we throw Jermaine and

1496
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:03,200
there as well.
And Jimmy, if you got all six of

1497
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:05,600
our players back, where do you
think we'd be?

1498
01:26:08,100 --> 01:26:11,400
I think six in one man.
I think if you bring all six of

1499
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,900
those guys back, you know you
get enough boost on the

1500
01:26:13,900 --> 01:26:17,400
defensive side where you slow
down you and see a little bit

1501
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,600
more.
It's that game becomes, close

1502
01:26:19,700 --> 01:26:22,400
you, slow down West Virginia,
that game becomes a w.

1503
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:27,200
You slow down pit in that game
become the W.

1504
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:31,900
So you end up six and one and
then, you know, you're kind of

1505
01:26:31,900 --> 01:26:36,000
in the not the driver's seat in
the conference in the coastal.

1506
01:26:36,700 --> 01:26:40,600
But you know, you get one extra
lost by U and c.

1507
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:42,800
And now you're now you're the
team to beat, right?

1508
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,400
So absolutely.
And that's why I was fun to do

1509
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,500
this because you look at these
guys, in their skill sets and

1510
01:26:48,500 --> 01:26:51,000
where they fit, and it's even
more apparent.

1511
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:54,900
As we get into the season where
you're missing, then they all

1512
01:26:54,900 --> 01:26:57,500
had their reasons for leaving
and that was 100% fine.

1513
01:26:57,500 --> 01:27:00,300
You don't fault anyone who feels
like they are making the best

1514
01:27:00,300 --> 01:27:03,800
decision for themselves, but it
sort of sucks, though, as you

1515
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,100
sit here as fans as we look at
this every week and we talked

1516
01:27:06,100 --> 01:27:11,200
about Out guys saying God that
has just come back, but on the

1517
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:18,000
other hand, the piece that me
and Brian also discussed was,

1518
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,100
did we want 2016 to happen
again?

1519
01:27:22,100 --> 01:27:26,800
Does anybody want 2016 to happen
again and not necessarily that

1520
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,900
year or the year after?
But the subsequent years, right?

1521
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:36,600
The subsequent years and being
on the hook for a buyout as a Of

1522
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:41,100
the subsequent years I think
right now we know whatever we

1523
01:27:41,100 --> 01:27:44,700
get it's being built by Brent
pride in his staff.

1524
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:50,700
Yep whatever, whatever the
results are good or bad going

1525
01:27:50,700 --> 01:27:54,100
forward after this year.
You know, Brent prize got his

1526
01:27:54,100 --> 01:27:57,700
hands on it, he's got his hands
on it and if you're three comes

1527
01:27:57,700 --> 01:28:00,300
and we're six and six, I think
we're going to look at that

1528
01:28:00,300 --> 01:28:01,800
through a different light,
right?

1529
01:28:02,900 --> 01:28:05,000
Yeah.
Then we would have like we did

1530
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,100
in 2018.
And if 2019 we went eight or

1531
01:28:08,108 --> 01:28:11,000
nine games or you know, four
years from now at eight or nine

1532
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:14,900
games, it's this, it's that
constant building where if all

1533
01:28:14,900 --> 01:28:17,500
those guys come back and I know
I think for all of us, we'd love

1534
01:28:17,500 --> 01:28:19,700
to be six of them.
I'd love to be talking about

1535
01:28:19,700 --> 01:28:21,600
wins every week.
We'd love to talk wins every

1536
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:22,800
week.
That's a hell of a lot, more fun

1537
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:26,300
than talking about losses.
But the reality is, if we go

1538
01:28:26,300 --> 01:28:31,100
back six years, how much Isaiah
Ford, Bucky Hodges.

1539
01:28:31,300 --> 01:28:37,500
Cam Phillips, Tremaine Edmonds,
Terrell Edmonds, all those good

1540
01:28:37,500 --> 01:28:40,400
players offensive ly in
defensively those first couple

1541
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:45,100
years, Jerrod Evan.
Sorry gonna forgive him.

1542
01:28:45,900 --> 01:28:49,500
How much they covered up a lot
of warts.

1543
01:28:50,100 --> 01:28:54,200
They got shown after the big
contract after all.

1544
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:59,800
Other shit happened, I'll say,
especially in 2017 and that

1545
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:04,800
defense, the town on that
defense and how much that

1546
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:07,500
covered up.
Some of the warts that were

1547
01:29:07,508 --> 01:29:10,900
starting to show that year
because when we look back, we're

1548
01:29:10,900 --> 01:29:13,100
like, okay.
Well we had a, we had an

1549
01:29:13,100 --> 01:29:16,600
above-average year, but we're
already starting to see the

1550
01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:21,800
cracks in the foundation.
And, you know, with the cracks

1551
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:25,000
in the foundation, he had 2018,
there was such an exodus of

1552
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,600
talent that that you couldn't
really.

1553
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:30,200
You know, how bad is this team
is?

1554
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:31,500
Are they bad because they're
younger?

1555
01:29:31,500 --> 01:29:36,400
They bad, because they're not
coached well, And then then you

1556
01:29:36,407 --> 01:29:38,800
get to 19.
You start saying, you know.

1557
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:41,900
Okay, well now we're now we're
starting this guy that's

1558
01:29:41,900 --> 01:29:45,300
throwing a lot of picks and
we're getting blown out by Duke

1559
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:50,600
and we're taking an intervention
from an analyst to get the right

1560
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:52,300
course, starting quarterback in
there.

1561
01:29:53,700 --> 01:29:56,700
You know, there's so many things
that as you getting into year

1562
01:29:56,700 --> 01:29:59,500
three and four that you start
getting some answers to that you

1563
01:29:59,500 --> 01:30:03,900
didn't necessarily have in year
1 and 2 and at least with the

1564
01:30:03,900 --> 01:30:05,800
way we're going.
Now.

1565
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:11,200
When we get to year for we're
going, another will either know

1566
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:13,400
where we won't.
Well, bubble.

1567
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:17,300
Also knowing it's already kind
of being shown up front that you

1568
01:30:17,300 --> 01:30:19,600
feel like prize already holding
coaching staff accountable

1569
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:23,100
pretty quick because if you come
to your form, they're still

1570
01:30:23,100 --> 01:30:25,500
struggles and Tyler bonesteel.
You, he fires them.

1571
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:30,400
Your three or four.
Then you know you might say well

1572
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:33,000
at least he knows something's
not right?

1573
01:30:33,700 --> 01:30:36,500
And that could be with various
things that he's letting people

1574
01:30:36,500 --> 01:30:40,300
go because that's still the
biggest up.

1575
01:30:40,300 --> 01:30:44,200
Justin Fuente.
Never took he never took that

1576
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:49,300
step when there was an issue in
everybody, even Layman like me,

1577
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:53,200
who have to ask you a lot of
questions to get more insight on

1578
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:56,400
the game.
Can see plainly, like this is

1579
01:30:56,600 --> 01:31:01,300
Good on that side of the bowl.
So, it is what it is.

1580
01:31:02,100 --> 01:31:04,700
All right, Brian.
No, the enemy this week.

1581
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:06,600
Yeah.
We don't have an enemy.

1582
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:08,900
There's no game prediction, so
we don't have to go out on a

1583
01:31:08,907 --> 01:31:12,000
limb.
But there are some big big games

1584
01:31:12,100 --> 01:31:15,800
on Saturday, and I'm going out
to the wet West Coast.

1585
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:19,000
I'm going to the AUX and Zoo.
Oregon UCLA.

1586
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:22,000
I'm not even looking at the line
on that game.

1587
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:25,700
I'm looking at the over under
the over under 70 and a half.

1588
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:28,500
These teams can both score
points.

1589
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:30,800
I don't think 70 and a half
closed.

1590
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:37,300
I'm gonna take the over and I
slept on you sell a few weekends

1591
01:31:37,300 --> 01:31:43,000
ago at home against At home
against Washington and I'm gonna

1592
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:45,300
sleep on them again.
I think Morgan wins this game at

1593
01:31:45,300 --> 01:31:51,100
a 3:30 on Saturday.
What you got on my big screen?

1594
01:31:51,100 --> 01:31:54,400
I'm going to have Okie State
Texas.

1595
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,700
Texas is a six and a half Point
favorite here.

1596
01:32:00,100 --> 01:32:02,500
Road favorite road favorite,
road.

1597
01:32:02,500 --> 01:32:06,900
Favorite over/under is 61 and a
half.

1598
01:32:07,300 --> 01:32:10,600
I'm going to take the over here.
Both of these teams have been

1599
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:13,100
scoring some pretty pretty big
numbers but not some pretty

1600
01:32:13,100 --> 01:32:17,400
round numbers here lately, and
I'm going to actually take okey

1601
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:21,000
state in the points here.
I'm not sure if they win it

1602
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:24,000
outright, but that thing's gonna
come down to the wire and I

1603
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:27,500
think Okie state is feeling a
little Little bit of Need for

1604
01:32:27,500 --> 01:32:30,000
some Revenge.
I think after after what went

1605
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:34,400
down last week, after blowing at
14 point lead, well, Brian.

1606
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:36,600
Has anything broken on the
twittersphere?

1607
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:40,800
Any other news broken, did
anybody lose a baseball game?

1608
01:32:42,500 --> 01:32:43,800
I don't have the game on right
now.

1609
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,700
You tell me but I don't either I
didn't turn it off or I got in

1610
01:32:46,700 --> 01:32:48,600
here.
We missed the fun belt.

1611
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:50,300
We could have, had the fun belt
in the background here?

1612
01:32:50,300 --> 01:32:53,400
That's all on me.
I was rushing to get in here

1613
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,500
tonight, but AB State blew the
doors off.

1614
01:32:55,600 --> 01:33:00,900
Off.
George Estate, who Yeah, the fun

1615
01:33:00,900 --> 01:33:03,000
belts the fun but you never know
what's going to happen there.

1616
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:06,000
But if there's nothing that that
is going to wrap up this episode

Again, we're going to figure out

1626
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,400
a way to get film and bronze
medals show film one day, and

1627
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:48,600
not get arrested, or have a
cease and desist order for

1631
01:33:58,708 --> 01:34:02,100
Up this episode, we've actually
got one of his songs from his

1632
01:34:02,100 --> 01:34:06,300
summer 2022.
EP, I think the title is it may

1633
01:34:06,300 --> 01:34:09,100
look bad.

1634
01:34:09,100 --> 01:34:13,400
