1
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:50,500
Welcome back to the boundary
Corner podcast.
2
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,800
I am Curtis Wilson and with my
partner.
3
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,900
Ryan, Sigler, how are you doing,
buddy, buddy, National
4
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:02,900
Championship Monday, watching
the game.
5
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:07,100
I'm on the coaches film room for
anybody who's never watched
6
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:09,400
coaches, film room on the
national championship game.
7
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,500
If you love football, you are
missing out my man across the
8
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,400
way from me here.
Can definitely can confirm that.
9
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,300
Yeah, so was watching it to
start before we fired at the
10
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:27,700
podcast here because I got it on
mute now but Hugh freeze is very
11
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:33,600
good at this.
He is really good noses, stuff.
12
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,000
The until all the guy that can
talk offense and really
13
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:40,700
understand various levels of the
concepts, and I mean, he's
14
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:44,500
knocking it out of the park, but
he's doing it, not quite, he's
15
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,300
not digging too far into the
like that.
16
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:49,800
Coach Jurgen were not real, a
person can't follow.
17
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:55,500
Well, not at all anybody that
bike either like warm level or
18
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:58,100
study that some of football.
You can understand what all four
19
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:03,000
of these guys are talking about,
all good, all making good points
20
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,600
you know it's the funnest thing
to watch.
21
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,400
I look forward to it every year.
I wish they would bring a bunch
22
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,800
of old heads in every Saturday
night with their per pound.
23
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:18,900
Don't espnu's because I would
watch it over the main
24
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:22,600
broadcast, no disrespect to her
beer, Fowler like those guys,
25
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,600
but when you get this, you get
into the grind, you get into the
26
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,500
play calls when they talk about
avoiding zones route Concepts,
27
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:36,900
you know, and then they show the
replay and you're like, holy
28
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:39,500
moly like now you see why that
happened?
29
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:49,700
So loving it 21-14 Bama but how
State on the The doorstep really
30
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:53,200
competitive game so far.
So I think we all wanted.
31
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,400
There was a moment there where I
thought of Alabama was about to
32
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,400
give a sizable lead when they
had that big play.
33
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,100
Big turnover, and Ohio State,
punched it in, tied it up, and
34
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:07,400
looks like we're going to get a
back and forth.
35
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:12,200
I think our our predictions are
still still in the realm of
36
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,800
safety right now, so we'll we'll
celebrate that.
37
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,700
Hopefully, Yeah it's true. 12
weeks man since we yeah we now
38
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:27,600
obviously y'all we probably
talked to maybe each other when
39
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,400
text me phone calls here and
there probably are wives.
40
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,900
Don't know, very true, very
true.
41
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Last week we were going to
record but it got us right in
42
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,100
the behind late.
We were going to press record on
43
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:46,700
Thursday.
We start texting If I ignore
44
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:51,100
this first week back at work,
you know what it was.
45
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:56,300
It was definitely harder and
busier than I anticipated.
46
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:58,000
It was one of those things where
I thought when we got to carve
47
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,600
out a little bit of time here, a
little bit of time there and get
48
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,500
myself ready to go and then I
looked at it and the further we
49
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:09,800
got and we come like I haven't
had any time that I've had my
50
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,500
week.
Phil, we had something big we
51
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:15,400
were working on coming, right
out of the holidays.
52
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,500
So It was kind of kind of
stressful there, but, you know,
53
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:20,600
we push through.
Exactly.
54
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,900
We got through, we decided to
call a timeout and inaudible
55
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,600
last Thursday.
Instead of recording, we both
56
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:36,000
went to sleep at nine.
They're just taking a fight, but
57
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,400
a lot of news since we've been
gone folks, and we're going to
58
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,500
try to hit all the topics, but
also on this episode We are
59
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:49,400
going through the coach, keep
the Hokie coaching staff and
60
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,600
we're giving the bounds of
recorder grades, which is going
61
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,900
to be our grades combined in.
There are individual grades with
62
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:57,700
some pieces here.
And there, we're going to do
63
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:03,000
every coach on staff.
All 11, some we parked on, in
64
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,400
the season, you're going to hear
some more points but then a few
65
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,700
other things as well.
Lots of yellow on the field
66
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:11,300
right there.
So let's start Braun, lets start
67
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:14,200
first with some of the stuff
that gone on several weeks ago.
68
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Let's talk about But a daily
transfer the safety out of
69
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:23,700
Vanderbilt transfers to the
Hokies which you had said to me,
70
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:27,600
and I'm not sure if you set it
on the Pod but you talked about
71
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,900
safety being a position in need
especially when dividing, even
72
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:34,800
dip needed safety, help got some
safety help here.
73
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,500
So I'm glad to see that.
Here's a guy that was projected
74
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,500
starter at Vanderbilt before,
opting out the 2020 season due
75
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:46,400
to covid, you know.
No decent-sized.
76
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,500
A safety probably a little
lighter than we're used to, but
77
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:55,800
still still in that same mold
and You know, has had some
78
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,200
success there at Vanderbilt
playing in the SEC.
79
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,200
So I think this is a good ad for
us, definitely a need position.
80
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,500
I feel like a guy that can be
least, come on, can't come on
81
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:08,500
campus and contribute even if
he's not kind of that first
82
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:11,700
level starter for us.
So we'll see what the offseason
83
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:14,600
holds for that.
But I like the pickup because we
84
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,800
needed safety help whether it's
front end or depth.
85
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,900
Yeah.
And with him it's a guy who like
86
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:26,500
you said, play in the SEC I
mean, 17 career starts all its
87
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:30,700
safety, you know, over 100
tackles, you know, a good number
88
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:34,800
of tackles for loss
interceptions, forced fumbles on
89
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,700
again, opted, out this year at a
Warner Robins Georgia
90
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:42,200
originally.
So, I mean, it feels a need, it
91
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,900
brings Dias.
He's a starter just so you can
92
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,800
get Devin back outside.
I mean, I think you pencil a
93
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,800
minute starter it, one of the
positions there and you No, let
94
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,100
him essentially lose it.
I'll be.
95
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:59,300
I think, based on his the snap
she's guiding thus far at the
96
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:01,300
position versus playing out of
position.
97
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:05,000
Like Devin was I think that
should give him a leg up there
98
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,400
and I think we're going to need
Devon and other positions
99
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,000
potentially just because of his
versatility and the different
100
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,700
things he can do now especially
after getting a season playing
101
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:20,200
in there at safety for her.
Good good chunk of snaps there
102
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,700
he's definitely our most
versatile.
103
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:27,300
Defender in the secondary now.
So, I think having him kind of
104
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:30,900
have that swing Reserve role
would be a good thing for us.
105
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,300
Absolutely, alright, more good
news for the Hokies a trio of
106
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:41,800
Hokies, returning, Bill Maher
returns let it get Smith returns
107
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:47,700
to Shawn Crawford returns.
I mean, to me, I look that makes
108
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:49,800
me feel better about the
defensive line and the offensive
109
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,200
line because essentially the
three guys were all starters
110
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,300
last year, Brian.
Yeah.
111
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:57,400
And those are two things we had
talked about where depth was a
112
00:07:57,407 --> 00:08:01,500
concern for us was across the
defensive line and now with some
113
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:04,200
of the transfers we've had
across the offensive line,
114
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:07,300
getting front end guys, coming
back.
115
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:08,700
Is only going to be a good
thing.
116
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Yeah regardless of how everybody
else is progressing, regardless
117
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,900
of who we bring in from the
transfer portal.
118
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,100
Yeah and it kind of the way I
see now with you know the
119
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:23,800
defensive line counting bar know
you've got really Three or four
120
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,400
stars on the defensive line
back.
121
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,300
Now on the offensive line with
the addition of Johnny from
122
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:33,000
Maryland.
Yep you have for starters on the
123
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,100
offensive line yeah you know the
interior is kind of going to be
124
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:40,000
settled I'm sure they'll be some
position battles to nude on the
125
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,500
right tackle.
Yep you lose your left tackle
126
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:44,800
but ain't nobody questioned and
are so leaving.
127
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,900
Yeah, you're essentially ever to
fill in a tackle now instead of
128
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:50,800
having to fill in multiple
positions across the hood.
129
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:54,000
Exactly?
Right. this was a kind of a
130
00:08:54,008 --> 00:08:59,100
shocker to me, but I think well,
one of the guys I feel like
131
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:01,600
should go the other guy I'm
trying to figure it out.
132
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:03,800
Both Oscar Bradburn and Brian
Johnson.
133
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:10,200
Not returning for Oscar.
I get it Oscar's a senior Oscar
134
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,000
is from Australia.
He's not from the United States
135
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:19,600
so why not try to make it in the
NFL, you know, do it?
136
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,900
Yeah, Johnson on the other hand,
I don't get it.
137
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,600
I don't he's a solid.
Collegiate kicker, he hit some
138
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,300
fifty yards, he made some clutch
kicks, but the way I compare it
139
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,800
is so we will say well look at
Joey slime.
140
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,500
Look how good.
Joey slice doing when balls used
141
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:45,900
to come off.
Joey sli's foot, you knew he had
142
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:50,000
an FL power.
You can see how hard there are
143
00:09:50,008 --> 00:09:52,900
times, they put him at like 59
yards and he'd put it there.
144
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:56,400
The accuracy was off.
Once he got the accuracy,
145
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,000
clearly, he's just signed an
extension with the Panthers.
146
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,400
It was the consistency act like
he walked.
147
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,400
He would hit him.
He just wasn't always 100%.
148
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:10,300
If it was under 40, you were
still like, well, he might he
149
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:13,200
might shank one here, you might
shank one there but he was
150
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,200
consistent enough and he always
had enough leg and once he kind
151
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,300
of worked out that consistency,
he's done very well in the NFL
152
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:22,800
Johnson.
I mean the only thing I'm going
153
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,500
to say is that he put out some
good tape this year.
154
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:29,000
He did turn and I'm he might be
wondering if this is the best
155
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,400
tape he's going to have going
into a an offseason.
156
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,200
It's true man.
And you don't I know where some
157
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,700
of these guys are, I think
Johnson was graduating to, so
158
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,700
again, it could be similar to
Hewitt.
159
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:45,600
Listen, I've got my degree.
I want to give it a shot.
160
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,600
I don't want to wait an extra
year.
161
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,200
I'm just going to go if I get
lucky great, if not essential, I
162
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,300
can start my life after football
weather, you know, that's in the
163
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,500
career field, they're choosing
or coaching or something like
164
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:06,100
that.
Now, had a commitment by Ron,
165
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,000
that was an off the radar
commitment, but when a guy, like
166
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,200
the white Vic speaks highly on a
kid, you kind of take notice
167
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:19,100
Samuel and banca out of South
County.
168
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,200
If you remember, South County.
That's where the Van Dyke
169
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,700
brothers, were from two very
kind of, very good hockey
170
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:31,700
players, but danke coming a 64
205-pound defensive back.
171
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:36,000
Did you get a chance to look at
any of his Tatum and he was
172
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,100
Allstate, you know, trying to
figure out
173
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,800
on the radar at least they were
getting kind of like Fringe.
174
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:06,900
Power 5 Buzz, pretty much
throughout the last two seasons.
175
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,300
So I'm just I'm trying to figure
out what out there.
176
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:13,800
Had this guy so under the radar
but you know when Dwight Vic
177
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,800
gives you the the stamp I'm
going to trust that, you know,
178
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,900
this is this is a pwo situation.
It looks like so we'll see how
179
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:28,500
it goes but that we've got three
corners that are in the 64
180
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,400
range.
I know, probably the McDonald
181
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,800
twins are not going to be
playing cornerback for.
182
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:37,400
Us.
But The concepts are there.
183
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,100
What we're looking to do on the
back end?
184
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:42,400
When yeah, we're going to have
four guys, but it's a lot of
185
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,000
tall.
We're starting to get some
186
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,200
height on defense and guys that
have link that can play with
187
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,300
that wingspan.
Yeah, work.
188
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:52,800
Leverage at the line of
scrimmage.
189
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,900
If there's any sort of press
element in there.
190
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:59,100
And, you know, guys with range
like that tackle better
191
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:05,800
typically.
Longo Divine Diablo body types.
192
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,000
Like 63 64 100.
And you know, we know Devon did.
193
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:17,500
So act, like why nothing wrong
with that?
194
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,600
Nothing wrong with it at all
Brawn.
195
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,300
Well Brian is much too, there
was good news.
196
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:31,000
There is has been some bad news
probably I'm not going to say
197
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,500
this is the biggest, this is the
biggest because of where he went
198
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:39,100
Hendon hooker, commenced to
Tennessee as a graduate transfer
199
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:44,500
and if you Rockets up he's got
who hears of it.
200
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:50,600
Two years of Eligibility left.
Obviously that happened in a
201
00:13:50,608 --> 00:13:54,300
couple of days later, the
Tennessee allegations drop,
202
00:13:54,900 --> 00:14:01,000
which is kind of like and, you
know, I have no issue with him
203
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,600
going here and you get to them
to a program that will be in the
204
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,400
spotlight best of luck to him.
Yeah.
205
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:11,100
You know Guantanamo their old
starter essentially moved out to
206
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:16,500
Wazoo in the immediate backup
transferred to Colorado.
207
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,300
So the competition for him is a
guy by the name of Brian Maher
208
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:24,100
who was a three-star out of
Ocala Florida.
209
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:27,300
And the more interesting one is
Harrison Bailey.
210
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,500
Here are some Bailey Was a
highly regarded.
211
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:40,000
Number three, quarterback top
100 rated somewhere in the
212
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,400
neighborhood of about a 95 on
the four-star scale, so very
213
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,400
hydrated guy out of the 2020
class.
214
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,700
So I think what Tennessee is
setting them up for is kind of
215
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,800
good.
Because if Bailey's not ready
216
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,800
next year, dip you have someone
and you essentially have a
217
00:15:01,808 --> 00:15:07,300
bridge guy at worst.
And you potentially, if he shows
218
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:11,100
out and wins the job and that's
good for them and if he doesn't
219
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:13,000
win the job, he's definitely a
backup.
220
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,800
You can count on me.
So, I mean, it's a win, win for
221
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,800
Tennessee.
In this situation with with some
222
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,200
of the transfers they've had
leaving out of the program to
223
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,500
get a guy like hand in the Ted,
a lot of playing time has Poise
224
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,500
and can can make some plays for
you.
225
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:34,100
So good for them, good for
Hendon.
226
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:36,700
You know, you're very good for
me.
227
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,500
All love to hit and I mean, you
do what you got to do, man?
228
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,400
There's no, you go be great.
Yeah, exactly.
229
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:47,900
You go, you'll be great.
You know, I hope that allegation
230
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:49,800
stuff isn't big.
I hope it's not one of those
231
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,300
things where it really, you
know, hinders his career
232
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:55,400
development going there and
everything.
233
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:59,200
Because what would really suck
is if like the Pruitt coaching
234
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,600
staff gets in trouble, they fire
them all and he's like sitting
235
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,100
here Lake.
Who's the new coach commit to
236
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:10,300
any of these guys.
But then if it's Tennessee,
237
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,600
they'll end up.
Filling the power Hugh, freeze
238
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,300
Part B, without somebody's going
to exactly.
239
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:25,200
So the next bit of bad news was
our director of on-campus.
240
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,200
Recruiting Alex, white returns
to North Carolina.
241
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,400
I have one thing to say, Brian,
before you go one thing he's a
242
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:41,400
fucking enemy spy.
I'll tell you what it is and the
243
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,800
more I looked at it, the more it
made sense, here's someone that
244
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,100
was asked to take a significant
pay cut because of everything
245
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:50,800
that's happening in the athletic
department, with the budget cuts
246
00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:56,600
and her alma mater officer way
more money do the same job.
247
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,600
Just so happens to be North
Carolina and we fucking hate
248
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,500
those guys.
So there you have, you know,
249
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:11,599
it's, I mean, I get it.
It's the alma mater P, so, you
250
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:13,700
know, but we still have to
mention it.
251
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:19,700
It'll be interesting to see who
The Hokies give into that role,
252
00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:26,200
you know, over the next couple
weeks here, you know, is it
253
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,000
something?
I'm hoping we don't fall behind
254
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,500
on this man because I mean this
is a bad time for that type of
255
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:34,700
transition.
I feel like we were just making
256
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:37,700
some good Headway with this type
of thing.
257
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:41,000
Even though we haven't been able
to have folks on campus, having
258
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,800
someone in that role is
something that we needed for Or
259
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,400
years and it was nice to finally
have something like that.
260
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,100
So I'm hoping we turn that back
on.
261
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:55,100
Turn it over real quick and get
somebody else in house that can
262
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,600
do the job that Alex has done
over the last few months.
263
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,300
It's very true.
But again, it's just a part of
264
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:04,900
the business and now it's going
to have to be one of those
265
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:09,500
things where, at least we know
where her pay cut level was,
266
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,600
that is one of the biggest
upside because the room is
267
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,100
there.
So, I mean, I'm whether she was
268
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:19,100
making, she was making Grant,
you is going to go down to 70 at
269
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:20,800
least you know where you're
starting is.
270
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,500
Yeah.
You know, it's one of those
271
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:27,800
things to do.
You find somebody that might be
272
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:31,500
associated with the program and
just say Hey listen here's your
273
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:36,000
opportunity, here's the money.
Come back or maybe some kid
274
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,300
there, I don't know, but they
don't need to wait too long
275
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:42,300
because knowing our luck, we
won't have anybody in the role
276
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:45,300
in the NCAA will dislike.
Pull up in March 2000.
277
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:46,600
Recruit has opened back on
campus.
278
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:50,000
Now come on.
Yeah yeah we need to go ahead
279
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,800
and strike on that while we can
exactly all right one more bit
280
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,900
of down and used before we get
into really the big news of the
281
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:02,600
day for us hokey fans Tori and
gray gets hired by Shane to
282
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,000
coach cornerbacks.
Poor in who just a few weeks ago
283
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,200
was fired along with Ron
English.
284
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,200
Another former Hokies coach from
the University of Florida.
285
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:20,200
I mean I'm not shocked.
No I mean that as soon as he was
286
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,000
gone I was like well if I mean
unless we you know we are not in
287
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,600
a dire need of a quarterbacks
coach.
288
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,600
He's probably going if he's not
going back to the NFL, he's
289
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,900
going to go to South Carolina
and sure enough.
290
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:38,400
South Carolina, it'd be dumb for
for shame not to call him.
291
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:44,800
I mean, you had to be stupid not
to call the guy with that much
292
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000
success coaching cornerbacks in
the college ranks is true and he
293
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,400
has a, obviously, a
long-standing relationship on
294
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,000
the team.
I mean, you've got to remember,
295
00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:57,700
torian was on the team when
Shane was on the team.
296
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,900
Yeah, late 90's.
Then obviously a four year
297
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:03,100
coaching on together when he's
with his dad.
298
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:05,000
Dad.
So it makes sense where I feel
299
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,200
sorry for those.
I feel sorry for torian because
300
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:13,000
I think Tori has a mind to be a
defensive coordinator and I when
301
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,400
he got fired and Shane would yet
to name his guy was like, he
302
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,500
should hire like make Tori in
the DC given that Spiel.
303
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:23,400
And then he hires the guy to
Western Kentucky, then hires
304
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:29,900
torian, you know, I don't know
if it's one of those things
305
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:33,100
where it's like he's going to be
a positional coach all his life.
306
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:37,100
It stinks because I think grave
more than that.
307
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,800
It's one of those things to
Brian where I look back and I
308
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:47,900
still wish to this day that in
2011, Frank and hung it up after
309
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:50,200
an 11 win season after winning
the Sugar Bowl.
310
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,200
Guess we won that game.
I don't care what the record.
311
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,300
Books say, Danny Coale, caught
the ball.
312
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:58,500
You've got the damn ball.
If he had turned it over to Bud.
313
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:00,600
Torian probably gets his chance
right there.
314
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:03,700
Yeah.
And we don't Don't know, that's,
315
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:06,100
you know, revisionist history.
You can write what happens.
316
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:13,400
So, but so there's that kind of,
bit of bad news, but Brian, we
317
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,900
got good news, buddy.
Yes, we did.
318
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:24,000
Late this afternoon, Clemson
Tigers, defensive tackle, Jordan
319
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,400
Williams.
Who had entered the portal
320
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,900
commits to the Hokies.
Williams, a 757 products out of
321
00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:38,400
cocks, where 757 time.
Water hot water shit.
322
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:44,000
You know, he was one of the guys
back in class of 2017.
323
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,100
They went after hard he came out
as a top.
324
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,500
You know, top 150 player.
Here's a fine piece.
325
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:54,800
He came out as a weak side
defensive end guess where we
326
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,800
wanted to put him in, why he
didn't commit to us.
327
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:01,900
Probably defensive tackle.
Yeah, he won't commit to us.
328
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:06,100
He went down to Clemson, that's
why they put him defensive
329
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:12,000
tackle and that's going to fit
in nicely with what we like to
330
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,500
do on the defensive line now.
It absolutely is man.
331
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:24,600
And I tell you what, if if built
are only turns this kid into a
332
00:22:24,608 --> 00:22:27,500
first three round pick, he's
worth every penny.
333
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,300
Every penny, they paid him.
Yep.
334
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,000
Because it's one of those things
where we're talking about when
335
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,300
I'm talking about little while
like what James doing.
336
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,500
But this is how I feel like this
is one of those kind of Barrier
337
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:48,100
Breakers because he was at
Clemson, he could have stayed at
338
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:53,600
Clemson Right here bility.
He's been a rotational piece.
339
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:04,900
For really his entire career.
But, You kind of Wonder a, the
340
00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:08,300
selling of an NFL defensive line
coach in an opportunity to
341
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:14,400
start, but also Darryl, Tapp
potentially having those
342
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,700
connections, getting in these
young man's ear and selling the
343
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:19,800
program and what they're doing.
Yep.
344
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:27,200
But we got some beef on the
inside beef, on the inside,
345
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,400
getting a guy that immediately
comes in.
346
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:33,200
To probably the role that Jerrod
he would held down.
347
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:40,900
But plus 30 pounds and 3 inches
probably backed up by Josh fuga
348
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,100
and then you still get, you
know, combination of Pollard
349
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:47,800
Kendricks and Crawford, at the
three technique, I mean that's
350
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,500
going to be a pretty decent
defensive line.
351
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:52,700
Rotation.
Now, with him coming in
352
00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:57,400
defensive tackle rotation, I
should say, I really like that
353
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,800
too deep now, because you're
not, but no matter who you put
354
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,600
it, the three technique, you're
no longer completely under sized
355
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:06,800
in the interior with a guy like
him.
356
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,400
I like it.
No guys, no wonder size.
357
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:15,200
It will be interesting to more.
See what the nickel sort of
358
00:24:15,208 --> 00:24:17,700
concepts are like Pollard and
Kendricks.
359
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,500
But as far as you're talking
about having three big beef
360
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:25,700
guys, you got on it.
Cunningham comes back healthy.
361
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:29,600
You've got four.
So which once was a worry about
362
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,100
defensive tackle depth is no
longer a worry.
363
00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:34,900
All right well let's hit one
more piece.
364
00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:37,700
That is kind of completely not
hokey.
365
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,700
Did.
But I wanted to touch it just
366
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:41,600
because we watch college
football.
367
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:48,800
Devonte Smith wins the Heisman.
First, they tied it the fuck
368
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:54,900
right?
The first time in 29 years, a
369
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:58,600
wide receiver one has been last
one was Desmond, Howard.
370
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,300
The only other one has bit, was
Tim Brown back in 87.
371
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,800
Um, Brian, if you didn't see him
just catches that last
372
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,200
touchdown, you don't know what
stat line for the first half.
373
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Oh, I'm looking at it buddy.
We got 12 catches to 15 and 3
374
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,500
touchdowns in less than a half
of football.
375
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:21,700
Good God.
He's with this performance,
376
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,900
obviously, you know, his first
big time.
377
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:28,800
Play was the to a touchdown
against Georgia, where he just
378
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,300
went by the guy on the cover to
safety peaked inside.
379
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:38,300
He's potentially could be a top
5 wide receiver in.
380
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:41,800
This is something like some
people say never take one that
381
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:47,800
half, but he literally can do
everything.
382
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:54,300
XY slot, he does stuff out of
the back field, he can do some
383
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:59,000
of those jet sweeps.
He catches screens, literally
384
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,100
everything that you can think of
he can do.
385
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,300
Yep.
And I'm kind of pulling up the
386
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:09,200
NFL draft order right now
because I'm just interested to
387
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:16,100
see who is should Miami say
through the Watson trade.
388
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
And take him at 3:00 here to
aback with.
389
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,000
I mean, that's, that's not a bad
call.
390
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,100
And I mean, when you look at
this guy, reminds me of kind of
391
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:37,900
like essentially a more top end
Percy Harvin in terms of
392
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:40,600
receiving skills, coming out of
college.
393
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,900
I should say, we've got a little
bit more seasoned receiver, but
394
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:46,500
a guy that can do a lot of those
first.
395
00:26:46,700 --> 00:26:50,800
Things from the slot from the
back field, but also line up
396
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,300
outside and run the full route
tree.
397
00:26:53,300 --> 00:26:57,600
So I really like what I see from
him, I think there's going to be
398
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:01,100
some somebody's going to take
him in the top 10, no doubt.
399
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:06,500
So you can look in, it's kind of
like, well if Miami done taking
400
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:11,800
it, three with Cincinnati, take
him to pair with Borough would
401
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,900
eat.
Well, I don't know what the
402
00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:15,000
hell, the Eagles are doing after
firing Peterson today, it makes
403
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000
no sense to move.
Panthers, probably not the
404
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,300
Broncos Cowboys.
Probably not.
405
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:26,800
You know what?
Actually he there's no way he
406
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,300
can make it past 11:00 because
the Giants need a one.
407
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:36,300
I would say if he made it to 12.
I would be okay with us taking
408
00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:39,000
and pair them with Debo with IU
Kettle.
409
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:44,100
We've taken enough like, second
and third round receivers
410
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:46,100
lately, where I don't think we
would take a shot in, but I
411
00:27:46,108 --> 00:27:48,500
don't, he's not going to get
anywhere close to where we yet.
412
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,400
Well, I don't have to worry
about that.
413
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:55,300
He is, but, you know, you never
know, you never know, but if he
414
00:27:55,300 --> 00:28:05,800
falls to 220, sure, screw it.
All right, let's let's move on
415
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,800
Brian.
Let's move on to our coaching.
416
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,600
Grades for this staff of 2020
and how we're going to do it,
417
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,100
folks.
We're going to talk about the
418
00:28:13,108 --> 00:28:16,200
defensive Staff first.
Then the offensive we are going
419
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,300
to wait to do the head coach
last, just because I think a we
420
00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:24,100
talked about him enough during
really the last three to four
421
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:27,500
months that if y'all don't know,
probably a grades on him.
422
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,500
You you probably not been paying
much attention so yeah.
423
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:39,100
Let's go out Brian with Justin,
Hamilton the boundary Corner
424
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:44,200
overall gives him a seat.
What are you doing?
425
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,500
Ryan, personally, I'd like to
give him a c-minus but to me, I
426
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,200
mean, it's a true grade.
That would be fair would be an
427
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,900
incomplete because we didn't get
to see what a full offseason
428
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:00,600
would look like with a brand new
defensive stabbed brand new
429
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,500
defensive concept for the most
part, so incomplete to me.
430
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:07,600
But if you had, if you helmick
held a gun to my head and maybe
431
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,400
pick a grade, I'd go see - it
took a while for him to kind of
432
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,600
get Feet Under.
In terms of game adjustments,
433
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:18,600
obviously, some of that had to
do with the covid stuff early in
434
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:25,500
the season where he wasn't even
at the games, then once he did
435
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:28,300
kind of get in there, it felt
like very much a like a square
436
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:30,900
peg.
Round hole situations with some
437
00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:34,800
of the Styles and then the
system sounds a play of the
438
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,000
players with the system.
We were implementing and so
439
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,100
little time to prep it's a
little time to really get the
440
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:45,800
the techniques and the Concepts
ironed out and instead of just
441
00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:48,500
essentially understanding The
Playbook enough to line up
442
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,300
correctly and I feel like that
was a lot of what what we were
443
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:55,000
trying to do early on was just
all right if we can if we can
444
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,400
line up correctly we might be
all right and you know that goes
445
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,300
back to the no true offseason
but I mean, as the season went
446
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:04,000
on, they started looking a
little better.
447
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,000
Some of the position group
started to come around a little
448
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,100
bit.
We started working in some of
449
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:13,100
the older Concepts to kind of
make the transition feel a
450
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:17,600
Little bit better, kind of stuck
with the new Concepts we got,
451
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,200
but maybe throughout some of the
ones we were struggling with and
452
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,500
went to more of a Bud style
system in those situations where
453
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:29,100
that was called for.
So yeah, I'd say, see, - what
454
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:31,300
about you, buddy?
I'm going to just straight-up,
455
00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:36,400
see, and a lot of reasons just
very similar what you hit the,
456
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,300
no offseason thing, you know,
that, that probably the biggest
457
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:43,100
not being able to truly install
what he wanted.
458
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,900
To do.
But the reason I bring it to a c
459
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:49,200
and not a lower grade because we
did not have a good defense this
460
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,500
season.
Anybody that tells you we did,
461
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:53,600
they need to be slapped because
they weren't paying attention
462
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:59,500
but a I think the scheme that he
wants to run in general, I think
463
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:01,900
it can work with the type of
talent we can get right now.
464
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:07,800
And also with this scheme it is
bringing up into more than
465
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,700
modern day where but had
adjusted it feels like the last
466
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,800
Of years that things were
passing by.
467
00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:19,100
And it was getting us further.
And further behind the 8-ball,
468
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,100
very interesting, we forced 17
turnovers this year.
469
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:29,000
So, now you're looking at an 11
game season, that's one and a
470
00:31:29,008 --> 00:31:32,900
half a game.
That's a significant amount of
471
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:36,500
the other thing is, I'll say, is
this the play in the latter half
472
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:42,000
of the Season especially against
Clemson against Miami and UVA.
473
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:47,700
The week before, Miami Dash
hollifield is presser said,
474
00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:51,900
things are starting to click
three of the next four weeks are
475
00:31:51,900 --> 00:31:53,300
through the best defensive
performances.
476
00:31:53,300 --> 00:31:58,100
Yes, 45 points were given up to
claim:.
477
00:31:58,300 --> 00:31:59,700
Most of those in a quarter and a
half.
478
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:01,400
Well, as it does in a quarter
and a half.
479
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,500
Also, we had four turnovers that
game.
480
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:09,000
They also force, one of those
turnovers back into its several
481
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,700
work in our territory.
But overall, what you saw was
482
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:19,400
His scheme against that type of
talent for for two and a half,
483
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,300
quarters a day day one, I'm not
going to confuse but they will
484
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:26,000
kind of Struggle Bus them and
you had a knowing what he can
485
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,800
get.
And you see some of the pieces
486
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,500
that are coming down in the
pipe.
487
00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:34,100
You're like, okay, if this, if
this goes the best way, it can
488
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:37,300
go.
Could put us back into that 115
489
00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:40,600
consistently.
All right, Brian, let's move on
490
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,400
next.
Let's go to build till Nick.
491
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,800
We overall given him a b-plus.
I personally gave him an a -
492
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:52,300
very how I'm built a the way we
looked on the defensive line
493
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:57,100
from game one to the last game,
looks significantly better.
494
00:32:57,100 --> 00:33:00,400
In my opinion.
You know, we averaged, you know,
495
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,300
over three sacks of game which
was good for ninth in the
496
00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:09,100
country, 36 total sacks which
was good for fifth in the
497
00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:11,900
country.
We were getting almost seven
498
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:13,600
tackles for loss of gain.
Mmmmm.
499
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:21,500
But that's only 30 second, but
listen to this. 328 yards lost
500
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:23,600
on those.
That was good for ninth.
501
00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:27,300
Okay, well here that that's
telling me penetrate and we're
502
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:32,000
the defensive line were getting
the guys down when they got to
503
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,800
him in the backfield and I'll
say this, I think probably him
504
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,200
with the combination of the next
person.
505
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,100
We talked about, got Jordan
Williams in the boat.
506
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:45,200
That's true.
I know, we're pretty much
507
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,600
grating on field product here
with, that's definitely
508
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,000
something we're going to Ring up
in certain cases here to justify
509
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,400
our grade.
I feel like because that's part
510
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,500
of the puzzle piece to here and
some of this stuff is coming,
511
00:33:56,500 --> 00:33:59,500
you know you start working on
them in season start working on
512
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:02,000
just after the season.
I wouldn't be here.
513
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:04,500
I like the fact that are sacked
numbers are up.
514
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,400
I like that the season went on
and you can see that they were
515
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,699
adjusting to it more, the
technique being very much about
516
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:18,199
disrupting the action in the
back field whether it's it pass.
517
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:21,600
Player Run play.
If you're disrupting that,
518
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,600
you're going to get a lot of
tackles for loss, it's showing
519
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,600
up on the stat sheet and it's
showing up, especially in the
520
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,699
amount of yards that that they
surrendered in those tackles for
521
00:34:31,699 --> 00:34:34,000
loss and the number of sacks we
have.
522
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
So I feel like those are
positive things that we're
523
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,400
looking forward to in the
future.
524
00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:42,600
The biggest thing that I thought
that I saw that, I like the most
525
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,500
is how fast they brought bar no
along from being a very
526
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:49,600
situational.
Player to being an every down
527
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,000
player.
By the end of the season, he was
528
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,500
one of the two or three best
players on the defense.
529
00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:01,300
Yeah, and that's and that's
coming from game one where if it
530
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:04,200
wasn't third and long, he looked
lost.
531
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:13,900
So that's a big, big shift in
his ability to impact the game
532
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,400
and that's in season.
Imagine if you get them off
533
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,200
season with him a proper
offseason, a proper spraying.
534
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:23,300
That's going to be something.
It is, let's flip to the next
535
00:35:23,300 --> 00:35:28,200
guy on the line Darryl Tapp
overall, we give them a E+
536
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,100
Brian.
You gave them the higher grade
537
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:34,600
than me, so I'll let you lead.
So I mean, I'm going to give him
538
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,800
some of the credit on what's
going on with bar, know they're
539
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:41,500
bringing him along.
I got a feeling that tap was
540
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:45,800
probably working some with him
one-on-one to kind of bring him
541
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,100
along as bills working with
whole line or half line or
542
00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:51,900
something like that.
So I feel like he's got a big
543
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:56,500
chunk of bar.
No, coming along their love, the
544
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:58,600
energy that he brings.
Is Love The Bona Fide
545
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:03,600
credentials of both being
Virginia, native hokey and
546
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,100
having that NFL pedigree that he
brings to the game.
547
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,200
I got him.
Like I said just a shade lower
548
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,700
than then tearling just because
I don't know how much he had
549
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,600
impact on the scheme design and
things like that of the
550
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,500
defensive line.
But I feel like he's he's
551
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:25,300
bringing a lot of good things to
the table and when we talk about
552
00:36:25,300 --> 00:36:28,700
the recruiting side of things,
this Is the guy that's bringing
553
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:34,000
people into the building and
getting guys like Jordan
554
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,800
Williams in the portal because
of those Bona fides and I was
555
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:43,300
talking about earlier well and
you wouldn't be - I meant like a
556
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:48,600
c and it's not an act of Darryl
but the the couple big reason is
557
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:53,100
because of built till next rep.
I don't know where to put him
558
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:58,900
because we know when you read
about Bill is is Dad wherever
559
00:36:58,900 --> 00:37:00,700
bill is coach.
The defensive lines have been
560
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:02,400
good.
They've been good.
561
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,900
It's not like well he goes to
every here and there.
562
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:08,100
Okay.
And then he went there, they're
563
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:10,500
really good, it's like know
wherever he's been the defensive
564
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:15,000
lines have been the anchors for
their defense has.
565
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,400
So it's so tough to say what he
did versus what.
566
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,700
Tap did what I'm going to tell
you what you talked about it.
567
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:27,400
The fire on the sidelines was
definitely there bringing the
568
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,700
energy.
The one I think about the
569
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:34,600
biggest one was the Duke game
with getting the stop giving
570
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,700
that stop because you they
showed him and he was fired.
571
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:48,000
Those guys up and got that stop.
And do think that if he kills
572
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,600
cruden, And that's every level
starving Jordan Williams.
573
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,000
Today, the the high school
level.
574
00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:59,800
The portal level could be in a
next year at this time.
575
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:03,300
But then I kind of think about
what you said with bar know, and
576
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:08,300
maybe I should put in a C+ or
maybe even the be - with you to
577
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:12,400
bring them up to a b - because
it makes sense, you have a
578
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:18,600
feeling that A if Bill saw
something with bar, no, starting
579
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,400
to click.
If he just told Darrell, you've
580
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,800
got to go with them on and he
could and you know, two guys
581
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,500
being in the NFL and he can say,
you know what about me, helping
582
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:31,700
Justice justices, good
Fillmore's doing I'll work with
583
00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:35,300
them.
You can get him to be in an
584
00:38:35,308 --> 00:38:36,900
every down player in a few
weeks.
585
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,100
Did what you just said by six
games into the season, he was
586
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:47,400
basically in every down player
re can have it, you know, still
587
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,600
trying to figure out how he
didn't get a higher.
588
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:54,000
You know how he did get higher
on the all-acc when he led the
589
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,000
freaking league and tackles for
loss.
590
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:59,800
Yep.
They're all right.
591
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,200
So let's go next to the next guy
here.
592
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,300
Braun Ron Smith me and you
agreed.
593
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:10,800
Down the line on this one, Ron
Smith Reserve b-plus.
594
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:15,000
I mean could have been higher.
I think it would have been
595
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000
higher if he had Caleb and a
healthy germane but me he lost
596
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,500
his best quarterbacks basically
at the beginning, the season
597
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,100
because Jermaine was never ride
all year.
598
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,800
Caleb gone early, he got put in
some crazy situations, you know.
599
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,200
Basically his first couple
games, he's basically calling
600
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,900
plays out there, but all year,
his unit They consistently
601
00:39:38,900 --> 00:39:42,400
performed.
You know, they didn't they
602
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,800
didn't blow it out the water but
they were never the liability on
603
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,800
defense.
No, and the other thing that to
604
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,700
me took in from a beach of the
B+, right underneath an a-minus.
605
00:39:55,300 --> 00:39:58,700
He basically coach Dorian strong
from the 13th hundred, best
606
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:02,600
player in the country fruiting
ranking saying to a freshman
607
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,800
All-American and that's got the
big thing that I had on my
608
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,100
grades as well man.
You're working with, you know,
609
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:16,200
you had your two best corners
that one opted out the other
610
00:40:16,700 --> 00:40:20,000
Miss so much time.
And the time that he was there,
611
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,900
he was not 100%.
So you're pretty much work.
612
00:40:24,100 --> 00:40:27,100
King with your number three and
number four corner to start the
613
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:29,800
year.
On top of the fact that one of
614
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:34,100
the corners you brought in had
to be moved to safety and you
615
00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:37,700
have a true freshman that's
having to play a significant
616
00:40:37,700 --> 00:40:43,200
amount of snaps, right out the
gate, handled all of this and
617
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,400
honestly thrived in most of the
cases, they're man brought
618
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,400
strong on very quickly had
veterans, adjust to the newer
619
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,300
scheme faster than the other
positions on the It's other than
620
00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:58,500
a few blown coverages here.
Are there?
621
00:40:58,500 --> 00:41:01,100
Which sometimes is just an
execution thing and not add to
622
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:06,200
anything to do with coaching.
I've got very little to complain
623
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,000
about.
Like I said, it's just it's hard
624
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,000
to give him a hacker grade just
because of the fact that he was
625
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,700
working with one hand tied
behind his back before the
626
00:41:17,700 --> 00:41:20,600
season started, Truman very
true.
627
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,900
But it's tough to give him a bad
grade because of how it is.
628
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,600
Unibrow certainly.
Yeah I mean he definitely made
629
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,000
lemonade out of lemons there.
Now the next guy in the last
630
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,600
gallon defensive side of the
ball, Our worst grade was Tracy
631
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,200
claeys with the background, he
has.
632
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,400
And how me, and you expected the
linebackers door, especially
633
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,100
with the experience unit.
We're giving them an f+.
634
00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:51,900
So thing, guys, f+ the thing
plus is the thing Brawn, I'ma
635
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:57,800
let you go first because you
Echo like everything I have But
636
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,600
I I gave him slightly different,
just a slight.
637
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:10,300
I gave him one position
regressed across the board.
638
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:14,200
I mean, if this was one
position, one player or maybe a
639
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,500
couple of the guys, you might
say, oh well, you know, it's
640
00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:21,300
just covid this that the third
know like everybody on his
641
00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:24,600
position unit regressed.
Across the board.
642
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:29,200
It took them forever to even get
consistent at playing the
643
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,900
position that you were talking
earlier.
644
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:35,200
We're deck said, you know, three
games left in the season, we're
645
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,100
finally starting to click,
that's not good.
646
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:44,400
All right, Bob that's not good.
That's not good at all, you know
647
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,800
Brooke.
It probably the worst season of
648
00:42:45,808 --> 00:42:51,600
his career Tisdale Oscillated
between looking like an
649
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,300
All-American and looking like he
didn't know what the fuck he was
650
00:42:54,300 --> 00:42:57,800
doing.
Like he'd have a, he'd have a
651
00:42:57,808 --> 00:43:00,100
play where he looked like the
best player on the field and the
652
00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:02,300
next play.
He looked like he was lost like
653
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:06,000
just literally out of out of out
of position doing the wrong
654
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,100
thing, just not knowing what the
fuck is going on?
655
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,900
And for someone slightly
underside of the position you
656
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:12,700
damn will need to be in the
right place.
657
00:43:14,500 --> 00:43:16,700
It's true.
Not just saying you can't be
658
00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:19,700
undersized and not doing the the
the technique, right?
659
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:32,400
And Dax was decks for six weeks.
It's just Dex settled in towards
660
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,400
the end of the year and probably
at the end of the season, was
661
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,300
the most consistent linebacker
on the field.
662
00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:41,700
Which if you told me that at the
beginning, the season out of
663
00:43:41,700 --> 00:43:45,700
said you were full of it.
You have the like I'll smack.
664
00:43:45,700 --> 00:43:57,500
You get out of here.
Ya go along with.
665
00:43:57,500 --> 00:44:01,600
I'm not gonna say anything but
the only reason I did not give
666
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,900
him enough and I maybe I'm just
nice.
667
00:44:03,900 --> 00:44:07,500
I didn't give anybody.
D enough, anybody enough?
668
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,100
I give Maddie - because of
covid, he did not have a chance
669
00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:16,600
to work with the guys you know
throughout the spring and stuff.
670
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:23,200
And of all the guys on this
coaching staff, he was the has
671
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,900
the most tenured.
He's essentially coaching close
672
00:44:25,900 --> 00:44:29,000
to 27 years, he's gonna
coordinator before.
673
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,800
He's been a successful
coordinator before, which is why
674
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:37,000
what we saw this year was Head,
scratching and what the fucking
675
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,200
exactly.
Exactly.
676
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,200
We hope there is a spring where
he can work with the guys and
677
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,700
build upon what those last four
games where we could like, you
678
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:48,200
said.
And like, I mentioned laughter
679
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,600
games, kind of clicked in with
especially with Brooke going pro
680
00:44:52,700 --> 00:44:57,500
and that coming back at Mike
Dax, clicking late playing Mike
681
00:44:57,900 --> 00:45:02,300
could be a big step Tracy.
You got nowhere to go but up
682
00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:03,500
baby.
Yeah.
683
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,600
All right, we gotta you got a
small chance of going down to a
684
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,000
full left.
Not an f+ but you know that's
685
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,200
neither here.
Nor there we invented f+.
686
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,700
Anyway.
Yes Alton am honest.
687
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:19,700
It's essentially a thirds and
lured.
688
00:45:19,700 --> 00:45:21,800
By the way, there are plus to
the bottom though.
689
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,700
Yeah, it's true.
He's at the garage level.
690
00:45:37,700 --> 00:45:40,600
Then this is garage level.
He is not white at the lobby,
691
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,500
but United the bottom either.
He's on the boiler room yet.
692
00:45:54,900 --> 00:46:02,000
By the way, or is it 3517?
Either way, I picked looking
693
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,200
good.
Well, maybe not too good because
694
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,500
they might put put 60 on them.
All right, let's move over to
695
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:10,900
offense and let's start with the
wide receiver coach too far
696
00:46:10,900 --> 00:46:13,800
Williams too far in his second
full season.
697
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:21,900
We kind of pretty much agreed on
this see - form run and Brian.
698
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,200
What do you feel like what do
you feel like he's doing so far
699
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,700
that making him not in the D's?
Not in the below, average is but
700
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,400
I mean on the good side to good
side.
701
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,000
So number one is he's done a
damn good job of teaching.
702
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,600
These guys to block whether the
quarterbacks running the ball or
703
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,100
whether the running backs had
the ball or whether it's a Jet
704
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:49,100
Sweep.
These guys know how to block out
705
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:52,000
there in space.
So that is a big plus because
706
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,600
that's not the easiest thing to
teach wide receivers.
707
00:46:57,900 --> 00:47:03,100
And number two Trey Turner
Tavian Robinson had good
708
00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:06,500
Seasons, not spectacular
Seasons, but they had good
709
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:09,000
Seasons.
Yeah, from there, it's kind of
710
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,200
downhill.
He did a poor job of getting
711
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,900
other guys.
A lot of touches in this
712
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:16,200
offense.
Some of that had to do with the
713
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,800
fact that they weren't doing a
good job of getting separation,
714
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,000
some of it had to do with the
rotations and the I think the
715
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,400
level of trust that they had in
those guys I don't think they
716
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,100
gave them enough Trust.
To make those plays.
717
00:47:29,100 --> 00:47:31,400
And I think that's part of
that's a big problem in some of
718
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,300
that goes back to the position
coach.
719
00:47:34,700 --> 00:47:38,800
I think we've seen a lot of
attrition at that position since
720
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,000
he's been there and some of that
has to do with someone else will
721
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,800
get to and some of that has to
do with him.
722
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,600
And I think next season is kind
of make or break, I think we
723
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,800
need to have all these CC
caliber players at the wide
724
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,600
receiver position next year, if
we're going to keep this guy
725
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,500
around for another season
because Not killing it on the
726
00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:00,400
recruiting Trail either.
If he was killing it on the
727
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,100
recruiting Trail, you might be
able to overlook some of the
728
00:48:03,100 --> 00:48:05,500
stuff that's going on on the
field but he's not doing that
729
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:08,800
either.
It's true, I'm with you on the
730
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,000
make-or-break year but what do
we know?
731
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,300
Because her wit this is Foose
year one, we're going to get to
732
00:48:15,308 --> 00:48:20,900
that later.
Stop it because pray and they
733
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:24,300
are good and they produce you
you know they don't always get
734
00:48:24,300 --> 00:48:27,000
separation but they occasionally
do get separation.
735
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:31,500
They're to me, I feel like
Tavian Robinson's route running
736
00:48:31,500 --> 00:48:34,500
got better this year.
Like, there were times where he
737
00:48:34,500 --> 00:48:37,000
finds his own and just kind of
hang there and you get the ball
738
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,300
to him.
Let's definitely reading things
739
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:41,200
better.
And I mean, take tase, tase
740
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:45,100
plus, has always been like his
ability to kind of make those
741
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:48,900
lateral cuts at smooth.
Like he doesn't, he doesn't have
742
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:52,900
the best top-end speed but when
he when he makes those cuts,
743
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:55,300
he's not slowing down, he's not
losing that step.
744
00:48:55,300 --> 00:48:57,200
So he like but I'm gonna make
one more.
745
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,100
Yep.
No other receivers stepped up.
746
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:05,300
And you talked about the
attrition But is that his fault
747
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,800
again?
That's what he's got a he's got
748
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,200
a lonesome of it because I feel
like it's like a Wiggins would
749
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,700
have talked some of these guys
to stay and gotten them involved
750
00:49:15,700 --> 00:49:20,700
and figured out a way.
And I know it's hard to as we're
751
00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:24,900
talking about Devante Smith
winning a Heisman Trophy with
752
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:28,000
Holman Wiggins that they're
coaching him, it's kind of hard
753
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,700
to compare Williams to that, but
that's what we had before
754
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:34,500
Williams got here.
So the four Silly motherfucker.
755
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:43,700
That's what we're comparing you
against it is what we will talk
756
00:49:43,700 --> 00:49:46,200
about that in a little while.
All right, let's move next to
757
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,800
obviously your favorite band
spice overall.
758
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,200
We're giving him a b.
I'm going to, I'm going to go
759
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,300
first and hit a few quick points
and let you jump in because I
760
00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:56,500
know this is your bread.
Dude.
761
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,600
Be for me, best offensive line
we'd seen in a long time.
762
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,700
In this program, the running
game was absolutely dominant.
763
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:08,000
Ain't the passing game wasn't
bad when we give up 22 sacks
764
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,600
about two sacks of game, 48th in
the country about middle of the
765
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,500
road.
We could, when you're running
766
00:50:13,500 --> 00:50:16,000
the ball as good as we did, that
something you can live with.
767
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:20,900
He literally made Christian.
Daris offers from pick and I
768
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:23,900
know some people will say well
that's Dara saw to and it's to a
769
00:50:23,900 --> 00:50:29,100
point it's like We have seen
players who are unbelievable
770
00:50:29,100 --> 00:50:31,300
when they get to the pros, get
draft in the seventh round
771
00:50:31,300 --> 00:50:33,500
because they have piss-poor
coaching in college.
772
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:36,100
We've seen it.
It happens now.
773
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:42,100
He was probably a boy - for me
or an a for me, but that great
774
00:50:42,100 --> 00:50:46,400
game considering lie down with
the transfers, especially the
775
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,800
caliber of transfers.
Brian, it's all yours now.
776
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,700
Easily best offensive line
across the board that we've had
777
00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:57,500
in a decade.
Most of it with homegrown guys,
778
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:04,300
most of it on the strength of
big-name guys that Vice targeted
779
00:51:04,300 --> 00:51:10,000
specifically.
So we're talking Nestor, we're
780
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:16,700
talking Brock Hoffman and
obviously Dara saw was a guy
781
00:51:16,700 --> 00:51:20,500
that was brought in, I think a
combination of a couple guys on
782
00:51:20,500 --> 00:51:22,500
the staff, but Vice definitely
played a role there.
783
00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:27,700
So Dara saw being a homegrown
development situation there for
784
00:51:27,700 --> 00:51:32,400
us, we've got take a guy that
came in not necessarily
785
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,200
highly-touted.
Now, all of a sudden, he's
786
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:38,900
arguably the number one tackle
in the draft this year as
787
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:42,100
technically underclassmen soul.
I mean, that's some big fucking
788
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:46,800
shit to talk about.
Yeah, I love the Run blocking,
789
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,000
that's gotten significantly
better and he's been targeted.
790
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:54,200
Guys that are coming out of high
school, that know how to fucking
791
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,100
run block, block through the
whistle.
792
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:01,200
Got a little, got a little mean
streak to them, and I like that.
793
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,100
And it's finally showing up on
the field.
794
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,700
And so, that's a good thing.
Plas pass, blocking was
795
00:52:08,700 --> 00:52:13,100
sufficient outside of Dara saw,
no one was Elite, everybody's
796
00:52:13,100 --> 00:52:17,000
very, very middle of the road
but as much as we drop back we
797
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,700
didn't need much better than
middle of the road and And most
798
00:52:20,700 --> 00:52:24,800
times as long as we had the
right checks before the snap, we
799
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,900
weren't giving up a ton of sacks
in the game where that was a
800
00:52:28,300 --> 00:52:30,400
complete liability, where we
were getting taken out of the
801
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,800
game because of sacks.
It's so that's something big to
802
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,500
hang your hat on.
It is discussed throughout the
803
00:52:38,500 --> 00:52:43,100
season, we're not on the line,
the line did their job to block.
804
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:47,200
It was essentially quarterback.
Not getting rid of the ball like
805
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:50,000
the Braxton Burmeister play
versus into you stay with me.
806
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:54,300
His wrist perfectly block.
Yeah find the open guy.
807
00:52:54,300 --> 00:52:56,300
He it's a scramble he gets
sacked.
808
00:52:56,300 --> 00:52:58,800
They get credited for it as a
sack against them.
809
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:03,700
When in reality it's like they
held up 47 seconds.
810
00:53:05,300 --> 00:53:06,900
I mean at some point you know
you gotta.
811
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,100
Yeah.
It's some point you guys sex or
812
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,700
sex or very it's one of those
things where it's you have.
813
00:53:13,700 --> 00:53:16,300
The offensive line gets the
Lion's Share of the blame for
814
00:53:16,300 --> 00:53:20,400
them but you know you can't just
say, well, they gave With this
815
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,200
many sacks and say, well that's
indicative of a bad pass
816
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,000
blocking offensive line.
It's not always the case.
817
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,200
I mean, in this case I'd say,
you know, we're 48th in the
818
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,700
country in terms of actual
talent.
819
00:53:32,700 --> 00:53:38,100
Maybe top, 40 top, 35?
I mean we got some situations
820
00:53:38,100 --> 00:53:40,800
where guys are doing the wrong
thing with the football.
821
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,300
So that that happens man.
What?
822
00:53:44,300 --> 00:53:48,800
Yeah, do you think that one of
these analytical Services should
823
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,000
start documenting?
Insects more than, like two and
824
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:56,000
a half seconds where you can
say, if someone like an online
825
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,400
that like you and someone that
pays attention like me to say,
826
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:03,600
well, shit, you know, they gave
a 40 secs, 28 of them are over.
827
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,700
40 seconds, are over two and a
half seconds.
828
00:54:06,100 --> 00:54:08,000
That is an offensive line
problem.
829
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,000
That's a quarterback that I can.
Yeah.
830
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:16,700
I mean you do something like
pocket sex in less than 5
831
00:54:16,700 --> 00:54:21,700
seconds or something like that.
Because offensive line is, they
832
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,700
shouldn't always get dinged
Force acts that occur outside
833
00:54:25,700 --> 00:54:28,200
the pocket.
Exactly, but maybe they
834
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,500
shouldn't get dinged for sex
that take place, five seconds or
835
00:54:32,508 --> 00:54:36,500
greater after the snap.
So if you just remove those, I
836
00:54:36,508 --> 00:54:40,200
feel like that'd be a fair of
pretty fair assessment of an
837
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,200
offensive line in terms of past
Pro.
838
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:45,800
Anybody else that's offensive
line out there.
839
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,300
They can comment on this and
tell me how wrong I am or how
840
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:53,600
right I am. but, All right,
well, that's my two cents on it.
841
00:54:54,100 --> 00:54:59,300
Let's move on to the next coach,
first-year, coach, Adam, like
842
00:54:59,300 --> 00:55:03,100
Timber get running back overall,
he gets a b.
843
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,000
I'm gonna jump on this one real
quick brown before you jump into
844
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,300
it.
I have one statement / Chris
845
00:55:08,300 --> 00:55:10,000
Stapleton.
I was wrong.
846
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,100
Yeah man, you missed on this
one.
847
00:55:15,100 --> 00:55:19,300
I mean obviously depending on
who you are, you might vary this
848
00:55:19,300 --> 00:55:22,500
grade, you know, up a Letter
grade or down a letter grade,
849
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:24,700
but nobody's giving this guy a d
or an F.
850
00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:29,800
What we saw this year?
Yeah, this the most production
851
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:34,900
we've gotten for the running
back position since 2011 and if
852
00:55:34,900 --> 00:55:40,900
it weren't for Her being out,
essentially, two full games
853
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:44,200
between sitting one and being
very limited.
854
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:49,100
And another, he probably even,
you know, crushes it even more
855
00:55:49,100 --> 00:55:51,600
there.
So, that's, that's got to be
856
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,500
something that we look at.
He also does a great job
857
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,200
recruiting in the transfer
portal in the Juco circuit.
858
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,700
He really does a good job of
bringing those guys in so
859
00:55:59,900 --> 00:56:02,300
highlighting Talent.
Spotlighting, those guys getting
860
00:56:02,300 --> 00:56:06,500
them in letting the position
coaches kind of finish the job,
861
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,700
Job.
But he's the guy that kind of
862
00:56:07,700 --> 00:56:09,900
gets the ball rolling on a lot
of these things and he does a
863
00:56:09,900 --> 00:56:12,400
good job there.
I'm dinging him down from
864
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,700
probably what could have been a
a minus B plus down to a solid B
865
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,200
because he should not have had
Blackshear as a freaking spell
866
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,500
back.
We have to determine if that was
867
00:56:22,500 --> 00:56:26,000
him or not though, we have not.
But I'm, he's a position coach.
868
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,500
If he's got to have the balls to
7% and tell, whoever it is, that
869
00:56:30,500 --> 00:56:33,200
is making those decisions.
If it's not him that you need to
870
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,400
sit the fuck down.
There's something you just said,
871
00:56:37,700 --> 00:56:42,900
But to it because how he is
identified, the Juco and the
872
00:56:42,908 --> 00:56:45,900
troll portal town.
It's like he can look at a guy
873
00:56:45,900 --> 00:56:49,800
and say, he just need.
We just need to get in this
874
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:54,900
guy's here, and he can take the
step and here, it was far.
875
00:56:54,900 --> 00:56:57,700
No, it was Herbert.
It was black here in certain
876
00:56:57,700 --> 00:57:02,600
situations that they use black
hero to be a lot better, but I
877
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,100
liked for who we are as a
program.
878
00:57:06,300 --> 00:57:10,200
He's the type, he is the type of
guy you want to say, well, look
879
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,400
at this new coat.
A, no, no, that guy that guy
880
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,000
right.
There is one step away from
881
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,500
being the division, one college
football in the more you get
882
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:22,000
those in, especially where we
are as a program, the more it's
883
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,500
going to help.
All right, let's move on to
884
00:57:24,500 --> 00:57:28,400
tight end. / special teams
coordinator James Shad, best, we
885
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,700
are giving him a b - I gave them
C.
886
00:57:31,700 --> 00:57:35,200
Plus it would have been a b-plus
but for one.
887
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,100
Damn.
Reason you can we Lottie how to
888
00:57:38,100 --> 00:57:41,700
freakin field?
A punt, full letter grade drop,
889
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:43,900
everything else.
Awesome.
890
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,500
What you did?
That's a full letter grade drop
891
00:57:46,500 --> 00:57:52,000
because it cost us multiple
gangs and me, it made the Duke
892
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,600
game closer than it should be
made a couple other games either
893
00:57:55,900 --> 00:57:59,600
with Out Of Reach or completely
lost on the on the fact of it.
894
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,400
So yeah, I'm with you there man.
We saw some really good
895
00:58:04,100 --> 00:58:06,900
production from the tight ends.
Actually James Mitchell.
896
00:58:07,900 --> 00:58:12,000
We saw a couple other guys.
Come on, Gallo, especially,
897
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,900
yeah, Drake had some some good
good snaps in there.
898
00:58:15,900 --> 00:58:22,000
This year, I didn't feel like we
We didn't super Miss Dalton
899
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,500
Kane.
I felt like they did a good job
900
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:25,700
by committee kind of filling in
those roles.
901
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:30,000
James Mitchell's blocking went
up significantly, he was a much
902
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,500
better blocker this year, not to
be, was ever a bad blocker, but
903
00:58:32,500 --> 00:58:34,600
he was much better this year
than he had been.
904
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:39,300
And, like, you said, man, muff,
Punk's.
905
00:58:39,300 --> 00:58:42,400
Got to stop.
We can't have muffed punt, so
906
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:46,100
those situations, but I think he
did good job with some of the
907
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:50,500
situational special team calls.
So I'm going to give him the The
908
00:58:50,500 --> 00:58:54,900
a bump up for that if we could
get Romo to stop kicking out of
909
00:58:54,900 --> 00:58:57,200
bounds occasionally and, you
know, feel too.
910
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:58,500
Damn, pun.
I think we're going to be all
911
00:58:58,500 --> 00:58:59,600
right.
At that position, man.
912
00:59:00,300 --> 00:59:02,200
It's very true, man.
All right.
913
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,600
Well we kind of Saved.
We did this order for a
914
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,500
particular reason, so we could
highlight probably to people.
915
00:59:08,500 --> 00:59:12,100
We you can say bashed or you can
say I'm not going to say that to
916
00:59:12,100 --> 00:59:15,300
people, we have constructively
criticized all year.
917
00:59:17,100 --> 00:59:20,500
Let's start with bread, poor
Nielsen.
918
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,200
I gave bread corn, Nielsen a
d-minus, it matched our overall
919
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,400
because my D- was damn near
enough.
920
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:36,400
Plus in Brian's D was damn near
d - yes, it's it's the same shit
921
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:42,000
Braun, you know, we're sitting
here watching these two teams
922
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,800
tonight and it is, it's an 18
point lead for Alabama.
923
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:50,200
They have excelled offensive ly.
I can't tell you what Alabama is
924
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:51,600
going to do next.
I can't tell.
925
00:59:51,700 --> 00:59:53,400
You the concepts going to come
out.
926
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:57,900
Listen in a few fries and a
place and and, you know, the
927
00:59:57,900 --> 01:00:02,500
a.n.t. head coach with chizik.
I don't think he could do that.
928
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,700
I think you would sound like a
bleep and wore on
929
01:00:24,300 --> 01:00:27,400
Yeah.
I mean I feel like it's you know
930
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,800
you talked about the thing with
sitting in the in the booth and
931
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,900
watching the national
championship and commenting on
932
01:00:33,900 --> 01:00:37,800
it, explaining things in real
time and I feel like maybe it's
933
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:43,600
a processing thing because I
feel like we had just so slow
934
01:00:43,900 --> 01:00:47,000
situational play calls are so
bad.
935
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:52,100
We get across the opponent's 40
and just forget out of fucking
936
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:58,400
Play offense, I figured out a
call, the game, lose the flow,
937
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:04,700
whatever you want to call it,
and it's just, it's so
938
01:01:04,700 --> 01:01:07,800
frustrating in mind-numbing
that.
939
01:01:09,900 --> 01:01:12,800
We've got that much talent on
the field.
940
01:01:12,900 --> 01:01:16,100
We're scoring at a clip.
That's pretty high.
941
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:21,000
Yep, at times and then, you
know, a few play calls here in a
942
01:01:21,008 --> 01:01:25,000
few play calls there, and take
two touchdowns off the board.
943
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,200
It's like, it's, it's so
frustrating.
944
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:32,300
It's very, it's just my numbing
and the adjustments don't come.
945
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,200
We keep saying, we do what we
do.
946
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,400
But if what we do ain't working,
we need to do some Nails, damn
947
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,300
it.
And earlier today, I hit Brian
948
01:01:43,300 --> 01:01:44,800
up with these stats and y'all
good.
949
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,500
You can look at it.
The data is out there.
950
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:50,500
We scored our range this year
and y'all think with the talent
951
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:55,500
we've had the offensive line
James Mitchell, Tate, Ray juice,
952
01:01:56,300 --> 01:02:00,200
whatever quarterback we had back
there, we scored an area range
953
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:09,200
from 10 points to 45 points.
We scored less than 24 for X.
954
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,400
That makes no God, forsaken
sentence.
955
01:02:12,700 --> 01:02:16,000
To score less than 24 points,
four times.
956
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:20,300
And then, as I'm digging into a
deeper and deeper, and I through
957
01:02:20,300 --> 01:02:22,300
this tube right, I think it
shocked a little bit because it
958
01:02:22,300 --> 01:02:24,400
took him a couple.
It took him a few minutes to
959
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,100
respond to me.
We scored 62 points in the
960
01:02:28,107 --> 01:02:31,400
second half this year of our
game 62 points.
961
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:35,800
We averaged 31 and game.
Do the math, that shows you
962
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:39,000
right there.
That we were scoring well over.
963
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,700
We were scoring 200 plus points
in the first half.
964
01:02:42,700 --> 01:02:45,300
Half 62 points in the second
half.
965
01:02:45,300 --> 01:02:48,000
That's 10 points, that's not
good in itself.
966
01:02:48,500 --> 01:02:51,600
What makes it worse?
Brian, when I sent you this, I
967
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,700
believe you gave me the bullshit
in, right?
968
01:02:55,400 --> 01:03:00,400
You take out the 31 points.
We scored against UNC in the
969
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,200
second half.
And do the math.
970
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:07,400
We scored, average six points in
the second half of the other
971
01:03:07,900 --> 01:03:14,300
games, that, that can't happen.
You can't come out of halftime
972
01:03:14,300 --> 01:03:17,900
essentially, sit on leads and
then sometimes you don't have
973
01:03:17,900 --> 01:03:23,400
those leads, those are the
losses to the second 31 in five
974
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:27,700
games we lost.
Not killing you and see 31
975
01:03:27,700 --> 01:03:29,700
points.
So if we're up for not doing
976
01:03:29,700 --> 01:03:31,900
enough to keep the lead and if
we're down, we're not doing
977
01:03:31,900 --> 01:03:36,700
anything to get it back.
We're not, we're not and, you
978
01:03:36,700 --> 01:03:42,500
know, it's just point where it's
like, If plan a doesn't work,
979
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,600
there is no adjusting, there is
no changing of Direction.
980
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,200
It's essentially square peg,
round hole Ram, it harder.
981
01:03:50,500 --> 01:03:52,200
And that's where some of the
stuff you talk about.
982
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,300
The situational play-calling
just infuriates you because it's
983
01:03:55,300 --> 01:03:58,000
in here and it's like, they know
that's coming.
984
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,700
Do something different.
Yeah, I mean he's got above
985
01:04:00,700 --> 01:04:05,500
average design, but it's the
adjustments and the situational
986
01:04:05,500 --> 01:04:10,900
play calling, that just Dooms
this offense, a lot of times and
987
01:04:10,900 --> 01:04:14,200
sometimes its execution and
sand, which goes back to a
988
01:04:14,207 --> 01:04:16,800
degree to coaching.
And sometimes, it's just the
989
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,100
coaches, not putting these
players in the right position to
990
01:04:19,100 --> 01:04:20,700
make the plays and need to be.
B.
991
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,300
And a lot of that goes back to
the play call or law that goes
992
01:04:25,300 --> 01:04:27,700
back to the head coach and some
of the goes back to the position
993
01:04:27,700 --> 01:04:31,400
coaches but I mean at this point
we're talking about Brad
994
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:36,600
cornelison.
A guy that Again we haven't had
995
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,700
access to Hope on whatever
reason.
996
01:04:40,300 --> 01:04:45,800
Yeah.
And devoid of an answer and
997
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:49,800
devoid of other facts to present
an opposing case.
998
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:55,000
This is the conclusion that
we've come up with so you know,
999
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:58,000
maybe if we get more access to
the guy will seem a well, he was
1000
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,500
a fucking scapegoat the whole
time, I don't think so, but
1001
01:05:01,500 --> 01:05:05,100
maybe maybe we'll see that.
But as of right now, they have
1002
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,800
not given us any reason to think
otherwise, Two of the four
1003
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:15,300
coaches, we had to ask, is it?
Are they the issue, wise?
1004
01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:18,200
The second line guys aren't
producing or is it somebody
1005
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,400
else?
We have what about Jafar?
1006
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,700
We ask that about in and like,
Timbers can't seem like the
1007
01:05:25,700 --> 01:05:27,100
worst case to we didn't even
mention.
1008
01:05:27,100 --> 01:05:30,900
It was Jalen Holston.
Yeah, not getting him, the
1009
01:05:30,908 --> 01:05:34,000
touches are really not getting
him to spell juice.
1010
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,600
You kind of sit there and we sit
here we talk about and we could
1011
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,500
say, if you had the right combo,
they're running Blackshear,
1012
01:05:39,500 --> 01:05:42,700
where you're supposed to and
gadgets on sweeps on screens,
1013
01:05:42,700 --> 01:05:50,000
letting him run some easy route.
Where the slot goddamn?
1014
01:06:18,500 --> 01:06:21,800
And essentially it made them
have to adjust their safeties,
1015
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,200
which supported the Run game
strong, which for the downfield,
1016
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,400
passing him stronger.
We would like to brief you have
1017
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:31,900
the rotation right, where it's
juicing Holston and I'm still
1018
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:34,400
trying to figure out why Marco
leading get as much play because
1019
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,200
that couple times we saw him run
the ball.
1020
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:37,800
Good law.
And it looks like you want to
1021
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,600
run through somebody Hamma
Hamma.
1022
01:06:40,900 --> 01:06:45,000
I mean, any, when you sit there
and you and it keeps going back,
1023
01:06:45,100 --> 01:06:49,100
because There's a new running
backs coaches and you wide
1024
01:06:49,100 --> 01:06:54,100
receivers coach.
And then there's Brad because
1025
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:57,400
tight ends and offensive line.
We've always said they're doing
1026
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,700
a sufficient enough job to keep
their jobs.
1027
01:06:59,900 --> 01:07:01,500
Yeah, you kept.
You lost one.
1028
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:03,100
Alabama, can't do anything about
that.
1029
01:07:03,100 --> 01:07:07,300
The other you're fired because
of like a production and you
1030
01:07:07,308 --> 01:07:11,300
have Brad who not the best
recruiter.
1031
01:07:12,900 --> 01:07:14,500
Clearing out the blood spray
color.
1032
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,500
Good play designer, but that's,
you know, that's it.
1033
01:07:19,300 --> 01:07:22,000
And it's just that thing with
him.
1034
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:27,500
It's just, you'd want to see
some growth, right?
1035
01:07:27,500 --> 01:07:30,300
We'll see some growth and I
think that's where we are with
1036
01:07:30,300 --> 01:07:31,900
him.
It's like, we get five years in
1037
01:07:31,900 --> 01:07:33,800
and it's just like, he's doing
the same shit.
1038
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,500
He did at the beginning that
didn't work.
1039
01:07:35,900 --> 01:07:37,900
Why do you keep doing it?
Yeah.
1040
01:07:37,900 --> 01:07:40,900
And I mean, I'm gonna go back to
your point a little bit there.
1041
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:46,600
We're talking about the wide
receiver production and so one
1042
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,200
of two things is happening,
right?
1043
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:55,800
So either the wide receivers are
not the the second line weren't
1044
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,000
doing enough at the beginning of
the season to justify up snap
1045
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:04,000
counts and up targets well, or
they were doing enough and
1046
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,500
weren't being given that
opportunity.
1047
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:14,100
So well, hold on, let's go back
to the beginning of 2019.
1048
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:19,500
He made the decision for Ryan
Willis He made the decision.
1049
01:08:19,700 --> 01:08:23,100
Yes.
And you say what you will?
1050
01:08:23,100 --> 01:08:26,000
You feel like if this is a
structure, Justin Fuente, the
1051
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,600
president Virginia Tech
football, J, Hamm and corn or
1052
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,500
his vp's on each side of the
ball.
1053
01:08:32,500 --> 01:08:35,700
They can be given direction to
say they're ready.
1054
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,100
I'd like to run on these
packages and what can they?
1055
01:08:38,100 --> 01:08:44,200
I'm sure they can veto it right.
Yeah, I'm sure as Hammond
1056
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,399
Sydney.
Now, Marty Raney offense, but
1057
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:51,000
I'm sure there were times where
he that Euro line coach would
1058
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:52,800
say, hey, can we let's run this
play?
1059
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:58,100
Marty be like, no, it's just
walk away and just like Boys.
1060
01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:02,399
I wonder if there were times but
I would say that was a big
1061
01:09:02,399 --> 01:09:07,300
situation or maybe because my
offensive line coach was six
1062
01:09:07,300 --> 01:09:12,300
foot six 340 pounds in played
under Joe pod, Penn State.
1063
01:09:12,300 --> 01:09:17,200
So he wasn't the guy that you
always want to say no to.
1064
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,600
But yeah, yeah he would
definitely over.
1065
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:26,000
Overrule him for sure and Like I
said, the big thing is that when
1066
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,300
we talk about core Nelson and
that wide receiver situation.
1067
01:09:28,300 --> 01:09:31,399
So if either of those things are
true either, you're not doing a
1068
01:09:31,399 --> 01:09:34,600
good job of getting your number,
your second line, guys the ball
1069
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:39,899
when they're on the field or
you're not recognizing a flaw
1070
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,000
and seeing a potential solution
in Black sheared, at least
1071
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,000
increase the depth at that
position and moving him to that
1072
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,800
position full-time.
Trip.
1073
01:09:51,399 --> 01:09:55,700
So I mean if you're saying those
guys aren't getting it done,
1074
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,300
you've got tape of a guy getting
it done.
1075
01:09:59,500 --> 01:10:03,300
Under a, what you would consider
an inferior staff because they
1076
01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:09,600
got fired from fucking Rutgers.
Let's be honest here.
1077
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:14,000
I mean, put chips on the table,
it's a travesty that they didn't
1078
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:18,100
get that guy more touches in the
passing game from a traditional
1079
01:10:18,100 --> 01:10:20,400
wide receiver position.
You know what?
1080
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:24,500
I keep watching this and I know
about the Smiths a special
1081
01:10:24,500 --> 01:10:27,900
player, but how many times have
they just ran a heart inside?
1082
01:10:27,900 --> 01:10:29,400
Slant from the slot with him?
Him.
1083
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:34,300
And you feel like you see
Blackshear shiftiness and you
1084
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:37,000
say, he can run that for yard
slant.
1085
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,700
Yeah, now, I got to say this
Ohio, they've ran it like six
1086
01:10:40,700 --> 01:10:44,600
times Ohio state has failed to
adjust to it, like me to change,
1087
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,400
leverage with your gal.
He's in the slot, we can go
1088
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:48,400
deep.
I don't care.
1089
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,900
If he can go to, he freed me
with the freaking slant.
1090
01:10:50,900 --> 01:10:52,700
Every time.
Make him beat.
1091
01:10:52,700 --> 01:10:56,400
You deep once at least.
All right, let's let me Focus
1092
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,100
back on what we're doing here.
All right.
1093
01:10:58,100 --> 01:11:04,100
Last but not least, Braun.
Head ball, coach, Justin, Fuente
1094
01:11:05,300 --> 01:11:09,400
me and Brian said he discussed
this for a little while and
1095
01:11:09,500 --> 01:11:15,000
there was no possible way that
we could give him a grade above
1096
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:23,400
combined D.
Yeah, I wouldn't be plus and a
1097
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,700
lot of my stuff it's not so much
the season.
1098
01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:30,800
The season is what it is.
There were several Real times
1099
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,900
you could tell with the overall
game plan was I feel like that's
1100
01:11:33,900 --> 01:11:37,700
him with an overall game plan?
That were very good.
1101
01:11:37,700 --> 01:11:40,400
It made sense.
I'm still convinced.
1102
01:11:40,700 --> 01:11:46,600
Still convinced he called in Sea
State, I feel like me and you
1103
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:51,300
can should go back and watch
that game one day because that
1104
01:11:51,300 --> 01:11:53,900
game felt different than any
other game.
1105
01:11:53,900 --> 01:11:57,800
We played this year and they
work that game highlighted are
1106
01:11:58,500 --> 01:12:01,300
very good elements of our
offense and In hid the bad
1107
01:12:01,300 --> 01:12:04,100
elements of our offense and I
still think that was him calling
1108
01:12:04,100 --> 01:12:08,000
because remember the rumors flew
that week, that corn had had
1109
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,300
covid, he was going to be back,
but he was going to be back late
1110
01:12:11,300 --> 01:12:14,000
in the week.
Essentially a play where he
1111
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,500
can't do play calls because he's
not there to install.
1112
01:12:16,500 --> 01:12:23,000
The rumors flew, never confirmed
or denied what the way that game
1113
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:28,000
was called but the way every
single game after that was
1114
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,800
called was completely different.
He gets the D for me or the D
1115
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,300
Plus for me for what happened in
the last month.
1116
01:12:37,300 --> 01:12:39,500
You just came off a five and six
season.
1117
01:12:40,500 --> 01:12:42,400
You had it all you guys on
defense.
1118
01:12:43,100 --> 01:12:45,000
You want to fire some of them go
for it.
1119
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,400
That's your decision.
Most people are going to hammer
1120
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,800
you on that because they didn't
have an offseason.
1121
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:55,700
You have to position groups,
we've mentioned before, pie,
1122
01:12:55,700 --> 01:12:58,600
tins and offensive line.
It feels like from day, one have
1123
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,900
always produced have always been
solid, you fry, two running
1124
01:13:01,900 --> 01:13:05,500
backs coach and that went up.
You have a wide receiver coach
1125
01:13:05,500 --> 01:13:08,700
in his second year.
Whose two best players are
1126
01:13:08,700 --> 01:13:10,700
consistently producing at a good
level.
1127
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:16,200
There's one consistent and you
won't fire him, and he should be
1128
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,600
fired.
And if you even if you don't
1129
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:23,700
fire him, demote him or bring on
somebody else to take over the
1130
01:13:23,700 --> 01:13:25,800
play calling.
And even if he keeps his
1131
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,100
offensive coordinator job,
bringing in, like a, some sort
1132
01:13:30,100 --> 01:13:34,200
of game coordinator to just
handle the play, calling you
1133
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:39,800
whatever it is like, look in the
mirror, self-evaluate figure out
1134
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:44,400
where the deficiencies are and
at least put a fucking Band-Aid
1135
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,000
on them.
Even if you don't go in there
1136
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:51,000
and you know, Stitch it up, like
do something.
1137
01:13:51,700 --> 01:13:56,200
Not, we're rolling.
No, we're Nolan guys.
1138
01:13:57,100 --> 01:14:00,000
We are rolling on.
We just lost six games.
1139
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,500
We were sub 500, we lost a
liberty.
1140
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:07,600
We got blown out by pit.
No, we are not rolling, we're
1141
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:12,000
not fucking rolling sputtering.
Yeah, I mean, we're all getting
1142
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:16,600
by if you're cool getting by
that, do you, but that's not
1143
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:18,900
what we want.
And that's why we were calling
1144
01:14:18,900 --> 01:14:24,400
for your head this off season.
And here's the thing, and I
1145
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:27,700
think this is this is probably
me and you and more level-headed
1146
01:14:27,700 --> 01:14:30,800
fans.
We want you to succeed next
1147
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:32,900
year.
Yeah, we do.
1148
01:14:34,100 --> 01:14:40,300
But when this I'm not going to
say when, but if the same shit
1149
01:14:40,300 --> 01:14:45,000
starts happening, which we
assume it is your, you you need
1150
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,200
to be gone.
We are it's going to get more
1151
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,200
and more vocal.
It's going to be more and more
1152
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:53,400
seen because my assumption is
the way they're saying it.
1153
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,800
That what are they saying by
July?
1154
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,900
Every person in Virginia could
have taken the vaccine.
1155
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,700
Every person in Virginia will
have had the opportunity to take
1156
01:15:04,700 --> 01:15:09,700
the vaccine.
So would you hear that me?
1157
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:13,000
You know, you assume that there
it's going to be stains going to
1158
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,200
be open the opportunity to take
the vaccines there.
1159
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,700
The treatments are better.
We know more and more.
1160
01:15:17,700 --> 01:15:20,300
What this thing targets who it
doesn't Target.
1161
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,200
We know how to protect ourselves
yada yada, right?
1162
01:15:23,500 --> 01:15:26,900
Yep.
If it starts talking bad.
1163
01:15:27,100 --> 01:15:30,700
Add the stadium is going to look
bad and eventually people are
1164
01:15:30,700 --> 01:15:32,800
going to they're going to call
for your head, the Bayou.
1165
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,500
It's going to be a hell of a lot
lower next year.
1166
01:15:36,100 --> 01:15:40,800
Hell of a lot lower and you will
assume with all the cuts that
1167
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,900
have been made and everything
your heads there.
1168
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:48,800
So this is my advice, a pray.
You don't have to play a card
1169
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:54,400
team on Labor Day, but if your
boy cruise around and is doing
1170
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,600
bad things, you better you
better.
1171
01:15:57,100 --> 01:15:58,900
You said Brian.
Look in the mirror quickly.
1172
01:15:58,900 --> 01:16:04,000
Take the accountability and set
your done cut it because it is
1173
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,800
your job and is going to be
gone.
1174
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,400
Yep.
And I'll say that, I'll be the
1175
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,100
bad thing.
Is that, I mean, it's going to
1176
01:16:12,100 --> 01:16:18,600
be very hard for them to do
something different without
1177
01:16:18,900 --> 01:16:22,900
firing cornelison at some point
because, yeah, you know, we're
1178
01:16:22,900 --> 01:16:26,300
talking about the budget cuts in
the athletic department, this,
1179
01:16:26,300 --> 01:16:31,400
that and the third, Third.
And what is available to funds
1180
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:33,900
for the support staff?
I mean, even if you want to
1181
01:16:33,900 --> 01:16:37,700
bring in like a quality guy on
offense to essentially do what
1182
01:16:37,700 --> 01:16:39,300
kill did.
I mean at that point that's
1183
01:16:39,300 --> 01:16:43,900
that's a hard ask for an
athletic department that's, you
1184
01:16:43,900 --> 01:16:47,900
know, cutting salaries across
the board had to fire a bunch of
1185
01:16:47,900 --> 01:16:49,700
people in some of the lower
positions.
1186
01:16:49,700 --> 01:16:55,200
I mean, it's going to be
something where You know, you're
1187
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,400
still going to be dealing with
the Optics of the situation to
1188
01:16:58,400 --> 01:16:59,800
make to put the product on the
field.
1189
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:03,300
You want with this coaching
staff versus at least getting
1190
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,600
some Goodwill, some extra
donations.
1191
01:17:06,700 --> 01:17:10,200
All of the things that come with
bringing in a head coach that
1192
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,200
can reinvigorate the program at
the right time.
1193
01:17:13,900 --> 01:17:18,100
Exactly.
And well again we want them to
1194
01:17:18,100 --> 01:17:21,000
succeed and again we have said
it in the past.
1195
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:27,000
We feel like if things If things
were constructed correctly on
1196
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:32,100
the staff, certain people doing
certain things differently.
1197
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:38,900
I'm not saying the mid-January
game is attainable at the
1198
01:17:38,900 --> 01:17:41,800
moment.
But I think your sixth
1199
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:44,400
attainable I think winning the
coastal is attainable.
1200
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,400
Certainly, what do you cope
Coastal should be attainable?
1201
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:52,600
Just based on the fact that we
are fucking Virginia Tech and we
1202
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,800
play in the coastal.
Sure.
1203
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:59,500
I mean, if we get past UNC in
Miami, were Coastal Champions.
1204
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:04,700
You should be able to every year
split that if not when both not
1205
01:18:04,700 --> 01:18:07,500
win.
Both if not when both and then
1206
01:18:07,500 --> 01:18:10,600
me and you've talked about in
the past, with the scheme, we We
1207
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,700
run we show that we can score
points or points on these guys.
1208
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,900
We feel now more consistently
with what we're going to do.
1209
01:18:16,900 --> 01:18:21,100
Defensively the defensive side
against certain offenses,
1210
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:27,000
especially against the Miami's.
The North Carolina type offenses
1211
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:30,900
that they're running right now.
We're going to get better.
1212
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:35,900
Yeah, it's two people got D's on
our report.
1213
01:18:36,100 --> 01:18:37,900
Well, with the exception, Tracy
claeys.
1214
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:42,000
I still think the Tracy things
and having covid the other two
1215
01:18:42,008 --> 01:18:47,800
guys have been here.
But 12 guys have been on the
1216
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:52,300
staff, this whole time, one guy
in and administer in more of a
1217
01:18:52,300 --> 01:18:59,500
own field product rule.
If you Justin Fuente.
1218
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,600
Is literally his Ace in the
Hole.
1219
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:10,400
Going to be Let's say we start
to into, and when I say that by
1220
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:15,300
starting to into we play UNC
dopin, we lose them.
1221
01:19:15,300 --> 01:19:17,000
But we beat Middle, Tennessee
would lose to West.
1222
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,300
Virginia would lose the black
down Trophy and we lose and we
1223
01:19:19,300 --> 01:19:22,900
beat Richmond.
We're where we were at the Duke
1224
01:19:22,900 --> 01:19:29,100
game.
Is the only thing that would you
1225
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:34,200
do if he at that right then and
there firebreak or Nielsen and
1226
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,000
we played significantly better
the rest of your I'm offense.
1227
01:19:38,700 --> 01:19:40,700
Would you let him come back?
Or it's like nope, you waited
1228
01:19:40,700 --> 01:19:46,200
too long, fuck you.
I mean, yeah.
1229
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,100
So which one is?
It is it?
1230
01:19:49,100 --> 01:19:51,300
You waited too long or we're
going to let you stay.
1231
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,800
That's a you waited too long.
Okay.
1232
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,100
You waited too long, fuck you
should have got rid of them last
1233
01:19:56,100 --> 01:19:59,700
year he was never that good.
Yeah.
1234
01:20:00,500 --> 01:20:02,200
All right.
Real quick.
1235
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:06,800
Before we wrap up here tonight
guys, bold pick x-brawn, you
1236
01:20:06,808 --> 01:20:09,100
went five and four six and three
over here.
1237
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:14,000
I beat you by a game, Ohio state
held to a field goal.
1238
01:20:14,100 --> 01:20:17,800
Just got inside, the 20 yard
line with 703 in the third.
1239
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:19,500
Is there anything else breaking
Braun?
1240
01:20:19,500 --> 01:20:22,300
Did we get any other commits?
Anything else?
1241
01:20:22,300 --> 01:20:24,900
Interesting happen.
I'm not see anything popping up.
1242
01:20:24,900 --> 01:20:28,400
I'm looking back through real
quick just to see if anything
1243
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:29,900
jumps out.
And I think we're good, man.
1244
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:34,100
All right.
Well, folks, that is going to be
1245
01:20:36,100 --> 01:20:38,800

7
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,500
If you love football, you are
missing out my man across the
8
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,400
way from me here.
Can definitely can confirm that.
9
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,300
Yeah, so was watching it to
start before we fired at the
10
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:27,700
podcast here because I got it on
mute now but Hugh freeze is very
11
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:33,600
good at this.
He is really good noses, stuff.
12
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,000
The until all the guy that can
talk offense and really
13
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:40,700
understand various levels of the
concepts, and I mean, he's
14
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:44,500
knocking it out of the park, but
he's doing it, not quite, he's
15
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,300
not digging too far into the
like that.
16
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:49,800
Coach Jurgen were not real, a
person can't follow.
17
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:55,500
Well, not at all anybody that
bike either like warm level or
18
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:58,100
study that some of football.
You can understand what all four
19
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:03,000
of these guys are talking about,
all good, all making good points
20
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,600
you know it's the funnest thing
to watch.
21
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,400
I look forward to it every year.
I wish they would bring a bunch
22
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,800
of old heads in every Saturday
night with their per pound.
23
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:18,900
Don't espnu's because I would
watch it over the main
24
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:22,600
broadcast, no disrespect to her
beer, Fowler like those guys,
25
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,600
but when you get this, you get
into the grind, you get into the
26
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,500
play calls when they talk about
avoiding zones route Concepts,
27
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:36,900
you know, and then they show the
replay and you're like, holy
28
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:39,500
moly like now you see why that
happened?
29
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:49,700
So loving it 21-14 Bama but how
State on the The doorstep really
30
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:53,200
competitive game so far.
So I think we all wanted.
31
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,400
There was a moment there where I
thought of Alabama was about to
32
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,400
give a sizable lead when they
had that big play.
33
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,100
Big turnover, and Ohio State,
punched it in, tied it up, and
34
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:07,400
looks like we're going to get a
back and forth.
35
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:12,200
I think our our predictions are
still still in the realm of
36
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,800
safety right now, so we'll we'll
celebrate that.
37
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,700
Hopefully, Yeah it's true. 12
weeks man since we yeah we now
38
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:27,600
obviously y'all we probably
talked to maybe each other when
39
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,400
text me phone calls here and
there probably are wives.
40
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,900
Don't know, very true, very
true.
41
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Last week we were going to
record but it got us right in
42
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,100
the behind late.
We were going to press record on
43
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:46,700
Thursday.
We start texting If I ignore
44
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:51,100
this first week back at work,
you know what it was.
45
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:56,300
It was definitely harder and
busier than I anticipated.
46
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:58,000
It was one of those things where
I thought when we got to carve
47
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,600
out a little bit of time here, a
little bit of time there and get
48
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,500
myself ready to go and then I
looked at it and the further we
49
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:09,800
got and we come like I haven't
had any time that I've had my
50
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,500
week.
Phil, we had something big we
51
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:15,400
were working on coming, right
out of the holidays.
52
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,500
So It was kind of kind of
stressful there, but, you know,
53
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:20,600
we push through.
Exactly.
54
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,900
We got through, we decided to
call a timeout and inaudible
55
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,600
last Thursday.
Instead of recording, we both
56
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:36,000
went to sleep at nine.
They're just taking a fight, but
57
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,400
a lot of news since we've been
gone folks, and we're going to
58
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,500
try to hit all the topics, but
also on this episode We are
59
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:49,400
going through the coach, keep
the Hokie coaching staff and
60
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,600
we're giving the bounds of
recorder grades, which is going
61
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,900
to be our grades combined in.
There are individual grades with
62
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:57,700
some pieces here.
And there, we're going to do
63
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:03,000
every coach on staff.
All 11, some we parked on, in
64
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,400
the season, you're going to hear
some more points but then a few
65
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,700
other things as well.
Lots of yellow on the field
66
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:11,300
right there.
So let's start Braun, lets start
67
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:14,200
first with some of the stuff
that gone on several weeks ago.
68
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Let's talk about But a daily
transfer the safety out of
69
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:23,700
Vanderbilt transfers to the
Hokies which you had said to me,
70
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:27,600
and I'm not sure if you set it
on the Pod but you talked about
71
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,900
safety being a position in need
especially when dividing, even
72
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:34,800
dip needed safety, help got some
safety help here.
73
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,500
So I'm glad to see that.
Here's a guy that was projected
74
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,500
starter at Vanderbilt before,
opting out the 2020 season due
75
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:46,400
to covid, you know.
No decent-sized.
76
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,500
A safety probably a little
lighter than we're used to, but
77
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:55,800
still still in that same mold
and You know, has had some
78
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,200
success there at Vanderbilt
playing in the SEC.
79
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,200
So I think this is a good ad for
us, definitely a need position.
80
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,500
I feel like a guy that can be
least, come on, can't come on
81
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:08,500
campus and contribute even if
he's not kind of that first
82
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:11,700
level starter for us.
So we'll see what the offseason
83
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:14,600
holds for that.
But I like the pickup because we
84
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,800
needed safety help whether it's
front end or depth.
85
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,900
Yeah.
And with him it's a guy who like
86
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:26,500
you said, play in the SEC I
mean, 17 career starts all its
87
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:30,700
safety, you know, over 100
tackles, you know, a good number
88
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:34,800
of tackles for loss
interceptions, forced fumbles on
89
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,700
again, opted, out this year at a
Warner Robins Georgia
90
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:42,200
originally.
So, I mean, it feels a need, it
91
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,900
brings Dias.
He's a starter just so you can
92
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,800
get Devin back outside.
I mean, I think you pencil a
93
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,800
minute starter it, one of the
positions there and you No, let
94
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,100
him essentially lose it.
I'll be.
95
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:59,300
I think, based on his the snap
she's guiding thus far at the
96
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:01,300
position versus playing out of
position.
97
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:05,000
Like Devin was I think that
should give him a leg up there
98
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,400
and I think we're going to need
Devon and other positions
99
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,000
potentially just because of his
versatility and the different
100
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,700
things he can do now especially
after getting a season playing
101
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:20,200
in there at safety for her.
Good good chunk of snaps there
102
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,700
he's definitely our most
versatile.
103
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:27,300
Defender in the secondary now.
So, I think having him kind of
104
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:30,900
have that swing Reserve role
would be a good thing for us.
105
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,300
Absolutely, alright, more good
news for the Hokies a trio of
106
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:41,800
Hokies, returning, Bill Maher
returns let it get Smith returns
107
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:47,700
to Shawn Crawford returns.
I mean, to me, I look that makes
108
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:49,800
me feel better about the
defensive line and the offensive
109
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,200
line because essentially the
three guys were all starters
110
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,300
last year, Brian.
Yeah.
111
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:57,400
And those are two things we had
talked about where depth was a
112
00:07:57,407 --> 00:08:01,500
concern for us was across the
defensive line and now with some
113
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:04,200
of the transfers we've had
across the offensive line,
114
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:07,300
getting front end guys, coming
back.
115
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:08,700
Is only going to be a good
thing.
116
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Yeah regardless of how everybody
else is progressing, regardless
117
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,900
of who we bring in from the
transfer portal.
118
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,100
Yeah and it kind of the way I
see now with you know the
119
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:23,800
defensive line counting bar know
you've got really Three or four
120
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,400
stars on the defensive line
back.
121
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,300
Now on the offensive line with
the addition of Johnny from
122
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:33,000
Maryland.
Yep you have for starters on the
123
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,100
offensive line yeah you know the
interior is kind of going to be
124
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:40,000
settled I'm sure they'll be some
position battles to nude on the
125
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,500
right tackle.
Yep you lose your left tackle
126
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:44,800
but ain't nobody questioned and
are so leaving.
127
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,900
Yeah, you're essentially ever to
fill in a tackle now instead of
128
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:50,800
having to fill in multiple
positions across the hood.
129
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:54,000
Exactly?
Right. this was a kind of a
130
00:08:54,008 --> 00:08:59,100
shocker to me, but I think well,
one of the guys I feel like
131
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:01,600
should go the other guy I'm
trying to figure it out.
132
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:03,800
Both Oscar Bradburn and Brian
Johnson.
133
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:10,200
Not returning for Oscar.
I get it Oscar's a senior Oscar
134
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,000
is from Australia.
He's not from the United States
135
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:19,600
so why not try to make it in the
NFL, you know, do it?
136
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,900
Yeah, Johnson on the other hand,
I don't get it.
137
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,600
I don't he's a solid.
Collegiate kicker, he hit some
138
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,300
fifty yards, he made some clutch
kicks, but the way I compare it
139
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,800
is so we will say well look at
Joey slime.
140
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,500
Look how good.
Joey slice doing when balls used
141
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:45,900
to come off.
Joey sli's foot, you knew he had
142
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:50,000
an FL power.
You can see how hard there are
143
00:09:50,008 --> 00:09:52,900
times, they put him at like 59
yards and he'd put it there.
144
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:56,400
The accuracy was off.
Once he got the accuracy,
145
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,000
clearly, he's just signed an
extension with the Panthers.
146
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,400
It was the consistency act like
he walked.
147
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,400
He would hit him.
He just wasn't always 100%.
148
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:10,300
If it was under 40, you were
still like, well, he might he
149
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:13,200
might shank one here, you might
shank one there but he was
150
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,200
consistent enough and he always
had enough leg and once he kind
151
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,300
of worked out that consistency,
he's done very well in the NFL
152
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:22,800
Johnson.
I mean the only thing I'm going
153
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,500
to say is that he put out some
good tape this year.
154
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:29,000
He did turn and I'm he might be
wondering if this is the best
155
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,400
tape he's going to have going
into a an offseason.
156
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,200
It's true man.
And you don't I know where some
157
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,700
of these guys are, I think
Johnson was graduating to, so
158
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,700
again, it could be similar to
Hewitt.
159
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:45,600
Listen, I've got my degree.
I want to give it a shot.
160
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,600
I don't want to wait an extra
year.
161
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,200
I'm just going to go if I get
lucky great, if not essential, I
162
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,300
can start my life after football
weather, you know, that's in the
163
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,500
career field, they're choosing
or coaching or something like
164
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:06,100
that.
Now, had a commitment by Ron,
165
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,000
that was an off the radar
commitment, but when a guy, like
166
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,200
the white Vic speaks highly on a
kid, you kind of take notice
167
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:19,100
Samuel and banca out of South
County.
168
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,200
If you remember, South County.
That's where the Van Dyke
169
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,700
brothers, were from two very
kind of, very good hockey
170
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:31,700
players, but danke coming a 64
205-pound defensive back.
171
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:36,000
Did you get a chance to look at
any of his Tatum and he was
172
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,100
Allstate, you know, trying to
figure out
173
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,800
on the radar at least they were
getting kind of like Fringe.
174
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:06,900
Power 5 Buzz, pretty much
throughout the last two seasons.
175
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,300
So I'm just I'm trying to figure
out what out there.
176
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:13,800
Had this guy so under the radar
but you know when Dwight Vic
177
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,800
gives you the the stamp I'm
going to trust that, you know,
178
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,900
this is this is a pwo situation.
It looks like so we'll see how
179
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:28,500
it goes but that we've got three
corners that are in the 64
180
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,400
range.
I know, probably the McDonald
181
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,800
twins are not going to be
playing cornerback for.
182
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:37,400
Us.
But The concepts are there.
183
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,100
What we're looking to do on the
back end?
184
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:42,400
When yeah, we're going to have
four guys, but it's a lot of
185
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,000
tall.
We're starting to get some
186
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,200
height on defense and guys that
have link that can play with
187
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,300
that wingspan.
Yeah, work.
188
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:52,800
Leverage at the line of
scrimmage.
189
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,900
If there's any sort of press
element in there.
190
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:59,100
And, you know, guys with range
like that tackle better
191
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:05,800
typically.
Longo Divine Diablo body types.
192
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,000
Like 63 64 100.
And you know, we know Devon did.
193
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:17,500
So act, like why nothing wrong
with that?
194
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,600
Nothing wrong with it at all
Brawn.
195
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,300
Well Brian is much too, there
was good news.
196
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:31,000
There is has been some bad news
probably I'm not going to say
197
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,500
this is the biggest, this is the
biggest because of where he went
198
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:39,100
Hendon hooker, commenced to
Tennessee as a graduate transfer
199
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:44,500
and if you Rockets up he's got
who hears of it.
200
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:50,600
Two years of Eligibility left.
Obviously that happened in a
201
00:13:50,608 --> 00:13:54,300
couple of days later, the
Tennessee allegations drop,
202
00:13:54,900 --> 00:14:01,000
which is kind of like and, you
know, I have no issue with him
203
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,600
going here and you get to them
to a program that will be in the
204
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,400
spotlight best of luck to him.
Yeah.
205
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:11,100
You know Guantanamo their old
starter essentially moved out to
206
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:16,500
Wazoo in the immediate backup
transferred to Colorado.
207
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,300
So the competition for him is a
guy by the name of Brian Maher
208
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:24,100
who was a three-star out of
Ocala Florida.
209
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:27,300
And the more interesting one is
Harrison Bailey.
210
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,500
Here are some Bailey Was a
highly regarded.
211
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:40,000
Number three, quarterback top
100 rated somewhere in the
212
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,400
neighborhood of about a 95 on
the four-star scale, so very
213
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,400
hydrated guy out of the 2020
class.
214
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,700
So I think what Tennessee is
setting them up for is kind of
215
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,800
good.
Because if Bailey's not ready
216
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,800
next year, dip you have someone
and you essentially have a
217
00:15:01,808 --> 00:15:07,300
bridge guy at worst.
And you potentially, if he shows
218
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:11,100
out and wins the job and that's
good for them and if he doesn't
219
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:13,000
win the job, he's definitely a
backup.
220
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,800
You can count on me.
So, I mean, it's a win, win for
221
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,800
Tennessee.
In this situation with with some
222
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,200
of the transfers they've had
leaving out of the program to
223
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,500
get a guy like hand in the Ted,
a lot of playing time has Poise
224
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,500
and can can make some plays for
you.
225
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:34,100
So good for them, good for
Hendon.
226
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:36,700
You know, you're very good for
me.
227
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,500
All love to hit and I mean, you
do what you got to do, man?
228
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,400
There's no, you go be great.
Yeah, exactly.
229
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:47,900
You go, you'll be great.
You know, I hope that allegation
230
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:49,800
stuff isn't big.
I hope it's not one of those
231
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,300
things where it really, you
know, hinders his career
232
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:55,400
development going there and
everything.
233
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:59,200
Because what would really suck
is if like the Pruitt coaching
234
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,600
staff gets in trouble, they fire
them all and he's like sitting
235
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,100
here Lake.
Who's the new coach commit to
236
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:10,300
any of these guys.
But then if it's Tennessee,
237
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,600
they'll end up.
Filling the power Hugh, freeze
238
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,300
Part B, without somebody's going
to exactly.
239
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:25,200
So the next bit of bad news was
our director of on-campus.
240
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,200
Recruiting Alex, white returns
to North Carolina.
241
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,400
I have one thing to say, Brian,
before you go one thing he's a
242
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:41,400
fucking enemy spy.
I'll tell you what it is and the
243
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,800
more I looked at it, the more it
made sense, here's someone that
244
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,100
was asked to take a significant
pay cut because of everything
245
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:50,800
that's happening in the athletic
department, with the budget cuts
246
00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:56,600
and her alma mater officer way
more money do the same job.
247
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,600
Just so happens to be North
Carolina and we fucking hate
248
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,500
those guys.
So there you have, you know,
249
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:11,599
it's, I mean, I get it.
It's the alma mater P, so, you
250
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:13,700
know, but we still have to
mention it.
251
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:19,700
It'll be interesting to see who
The Hokies give into that role,
252
00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:26,200
you know, over the next couple
weeks here, you know, is it
253
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,000
something?
I'm hoping we don't fall behind
254
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,500
on this man because I mean this
is a bad time for that type of
255
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:34,700
transition.
I feel like we were just making
256
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:37,700
some good Headway with this type
of thing.
257
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:41,000
Even though we haven't been able
to have folks on campus, having
258
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,800
someone in that role is
something that we needed for Or
259
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,400
years and it was nice to finally
have something like that.
260
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,100
So I'm hoping we turn that back
on.
261
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:55,100
Turn it over real quick and get
somebody else in house that can
262
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,600
do the job that Alex has done
over the last few months.
263
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,300
It's very true.
But again, it's just a part of
264
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:04,900
the business and now it's going
to have to be one of those
265
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:09,500
things where, at least we know
where her pay cut level was,
266
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,600
that is one of the biggest
upside because the room is
267
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,100
there.
So, I mean, I'm whether she was
268
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:19,100
making, she was making Grant,
you is going to go down to 70 at
269
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:20,800
least you know where you're
starting is.
270
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,500
Yeah.
You know, it's one of those
271
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:27,800
things to do.
You find somebody that might be
272
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:31,500
associated with the program and
just say Hey listen here's your
273
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:36,000
opportunity, here's the money.
Come back or maybe some kid
274
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,300
there, I don't know, but they
don't need to wait too long
275
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:42,300
because knowing our luck, we
won't have anybody in the role
276
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:45,300
in the NCAA will dislike.
Pull up in March 2000.
277
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:46,600
Recruit has opened back on
campus.
278
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:50,000
Now come on.
Yeah yeah we need to go ahead
279
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,800
and strike on that while we can
exactly all right one more bit
280
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,900
of down and used before we get
into really the big news of the
281
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:02,600
day for us hokey fans Tori and
gray gets hired by Shane to
282
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,000
coach cornerbacks.
Poor in who just a few weeks ago
283
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,200
was fired along with Ron
English.
284
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,200
Another former Hokies coach from
the University of Florida.
285
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:20,200
I mean I'm not shocked.
No I mean that as soon as he was
286
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,000
gone I was like well if I mean
unless we you know we are not in
287
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,600
a dire need of a quarterbacks
coach.
288
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,600
He's probably going if he's not
going back to the NFL, he's
289
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,900
going to go to South Carolina
and sure enough.
290
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:38,400
South Carolina, it'd be dumb for
for shame not to call him.
291
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:44,800
I mean, you had to be stupid not
to call the guy with that much
292
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000
success coaching cornerbacks in
the college ranks is true and he
293
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,400
has a, obviously, a
long-standing relationship on
294
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,000
the team.
I mean, you've got to remember,
295
00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:57,700
torian was on the team when
Shane was on the team.
296
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,900
Yeah, late 90's.
Then obviously a four year
297
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:03,100
coaching on together when he's
with his dad.
298
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:05,000
Dad.
So it makes sense where I feel
299
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,200
sorry for those.
I feel sorry for torian because
300
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:13,000
I think Tori has a mind to be a
defensive coordinator and I when
301
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,400
he got fired and Shane would yet
to name his guy was like, he
302
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,500
should hire like make Tori in
the DC given that Spiel.
303
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:23,400
And then he hires the guy to
Western Kentucky, then hires
304
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:29,900
torian, you know, I don't know
if it's one of those things
305
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:33,100
where it's like he's going to be
a positional coach all his life.
306
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:37,100
It stinks because I think grave
more than that.
307
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,800
It's one of those things to
Brian where I look back and I
308
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:47,900
still wish to this day that in
2011, Frank and hung it up after
309
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:50,200
an 11 win season after winning
the Sugar Bowl.
310
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,200
Guess we won that game.
I don't care what the record.
311
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,300
Books say, Danny Coale, caught
the ball.
312
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:58,500
You've got the damn ball.
If he had turned it over to Bud.
313
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:00,600
Torian probably gets his chance
right there.
314
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:03,700
Yeah.
And we don't Don't know, that's,
315
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:06,100
you know, revisionist history.
You can write what happens.
316
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:13,400
So, but so there's that kind of,
bit of bad news, but Brian, we
317
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,900
got good news, buddy.
Yes, we did.
318
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:24,000
Late this afternoon, Clemson
Tigers, defensive tackle, Jordan
319
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,400
Williams.
Who had entered the portal
320
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,900
commits to the Hokies.
Williams, a 757 products out of
321
00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:38,400
cocks, where 757 time.
Water hot water shit.
322
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:44,000
You know, he was one of the guys
back in class of 2017.
323
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,100
They went after hard he came out
as a top.
324
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,500
You know, top 150 player.
Here's a fine piece.
325
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:54,800
He came out as a weak side
defensive end guess where we
326
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,800
wanted to put him in, why he
didn't commit to us.
327
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:01,900
Probably defensive tackle.
Yeah, he won't commit to us.
328
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:06,100
He went down to Clemson, that's
why they put him defensive
329
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:12,000
tackle and that's going to fit
in nicely with what we like to
330
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,500
do on the defensive line now.
It absolutely is man.
331
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:24,600
And I tell you what, if if built
are only turns this kid into a
332
00:22:24,608 --> 00:22:27,500
first three round pick, he's
worth every penny.
333
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,300
Every penny, they paid him.
Yep.
334
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,000
Because it's one of those things
where we're talking about when
335
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,300
I'm talking about little while
like what James doing.
336
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,500
But this is how I feel like this
is one of those kind of Barrier
337
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:48,100
Breakers because he was at
Clemson, he could have stayed at
338
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:53,600
Clemson Right here bility.
He's been a rotational piece.
339
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:04,900
For really his entire career.
But, You kind of Wonder a, the
340
00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:08,300
selling of an NFL defensive line
coach in an opportunity to
341
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:14,400
start, but also Darryl, Tapp
potentially having those
342
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,700
connections, getting in these
young man's ear and selling the
343
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:19,800
program and what they're doing.
Yep.
344
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:27,200
But we got some beef on the
inside beef, on the inside,
345
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,400
getting a guy that immediately
comes in.
346
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:33,200
To probably the role that Jerrod
he would held down.
347
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:40,900
But plus 30 pounds and 3 inches
probably backed up by Josh fuga
348
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,100
and then you still get, you
know, combination of Pollard
349
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:47,800
Kendricks and Crawford, at the
three technique, I mean that's
350
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,500
going to be a pretty decent
defensive line.
351
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:52,700
Rotation.
Now, with him coming in
352
00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:57,400
defensive tackle rotation, I
should say, I really like that
353
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,800
too deep now, because you're
not, but no matter who you put
354
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,600
it, the three technique, you're
no longer completely under sized
355
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:06,800
in the interior with a guy like
him.
356
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,400
I like it.
No guys, no wonder size.
357
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:15,200
It will be interesting to more.
See what the nickel sort of
358
00:24:15,208 --> 00:24:17,700
concepts are like Pollard and
Kendricks.
359
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,500
But as far as you're talking
about having three big beef
360
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:25,700
guys, you got on it.
Cunningham comes back healthy.
361
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:29,600
You've got four.
So which once was a worry about
362
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,100
defensive tackle depth is no
longer a worry.
363
00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:34,900
All right well let's hit one
more piece.
364
00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:37,700
That is kind of completely not
hokey.
365
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,700
Did.
But I wanted to touch it just
366
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:41,600
because we watch college
football.
367
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:48,800
Devonte Smith wins the Heisman.
First, they tied it the fuck
368
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:54,900
right?
The first time in 29 years, a
369
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:58,600
wide receiver one has been last
one was Desmond, Howard.
370
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,300
The only other one has bit, was
Tim Brown back in 87.
371
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,800
Um, Brian, if you didn't see him
just catches that last
372
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,200
touchdown, you don't know what
stat line for the first half.
373
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Oh, I'm looking at it buddy.
We got 12 catches to 15 and 3
374
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,500
touchdowns in less than a half
of football.
375
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:21,700
Good God.
He's with this performance,
376
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,900
obviously, you know, his first
big time.
377
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:28,800
Play was the to a touchdown
against Georgia, where he just
378
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,300
went by the guy on the cover to
safety peaked inside.
379
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:38,300
He's potentially could be a top
5 wide receiver in.
380
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:41,800
This is something like some
people say never take one that
381
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:47,800
half, but he literally can do
everything.
382
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:54,300
XY slot, he does stuff out of
the back field, he can do some
383
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:59,000
of those jet sweeps.
He catches screens, literally
384
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,100
everything that you can think of
he can do.
385
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,300
Yep.
And I'm kind of pulling up the
386
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:09,200
NFL draft order right now
because I'm just interested to
387
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:16,100
see who is should Miami say
through the Watson trade.
388
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
And take him at 3:00 here to
aback with.
389
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,000
I mean, that's, that's not a bad
call.
390
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,100
And I mean, when you look at
this guy, reminds me of kind of
391
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:37,900
like essentially a more top end
Percy Harvin in terms of
392
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:40,600
receiving skills, coming out of
college.
393
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,900
I should say, we've got a little
bit more seasoned receiver, but
394
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:46,500
a guy that can do a lot of those
first.
395
00:26:46,700 --> 00:26:50,800
Things from the slot from the
back field, but also line up
396
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,300
outside and run the full route
tree.
397
00:26:53,300 --> 00:26:57,600
So I really like what I see from
him, I think there's going to be
398
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:01,100
some somebody's going to take
him in the top 10, no doubt.
399
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:06,500
So you can look in, it's kind of
like, well if Miami done taking
400
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:11,800
it, three with Cincinnati, take
him to pair with Borough would
401
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,900
eat.
Well, I don't know what the
402
00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:15,000
hell, the Eagles are doing after
firing Peterson today, it makes
403
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000
no sense to move.
Panthers, probably not the
404
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,300
Broncos Cowboys.
Probably not.
405
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:26,800
You know what?
Actually he there's no way he
406
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,300
can make it past 11:00 because
the Giants need a one.
407
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:36,300
I would say if he made it to 12.
I would be okay with us taking
408
00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:39,000
and pair them with Debo with IU
Kettle.
409
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:44,100
We've taken enough like, second
and third round receivers
410
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:46,100
lately, where I don't think we
would take a shot in, but I
411
00:27:46,108 --> 00:27:48,500
don't, he's not going to get
anywhere close to where we yet.
412
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,400
Well, I don't have to worry
about that.
413
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:55,300
He is, but, you know, you never
know, you never know, but if he
414
00:27:55,300 --> 00:28:05,800
falls to 220, sure, screw it.
All right, let's let's move on
415
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,800
Brian.
Let's move on to our coaching.
416
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,600
Grades for this staff of 2020
and how we're going to do it,
417
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,100
folks.
We're going to talk about the
418
00:28:13,108 --> 00:28:16,200
defensive Staff first.
Then the offensive we are going
419
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,300
to wait to do the head coach
last, just because I think a we
420
00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:24,100
talked about him enough during
really the last three to four
421
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:27,500
months that if y'all don't know,
probably a grades on him.
422
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,500
You you probably not been paying
much attention so yeah.
423
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:39,100
Let's go out Brian with Justin,
Hamilton the boundary Corner
424
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:44,200
overall gives him a seat.
What are you doing?
425
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,500
Ryan, personally, I'd like to
give him a c-minus but to me, I
426
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,200
mean, it's a true grade.
That would be fair would be an
427
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,900
incomplete because we didn't get
to see what a full offseason
428
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:00,600
would look like with a brand new
defensive stabbed brand new
429
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,500
defensive concept for the most
part, so incomplete to me.
430
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:07,600
But if you had, if you helmick
held a gun to my head and maybe
431
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,400
pick a grade, I'd go see - it
took a while for him to kind of
432
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,600
get Feet Under.
In terms of game adjustments,
433
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:18,600
obviously, some of that had to
do with the covid stuff early in
434
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:25,500
the season where he wasn't even
at the games, then once he did
435
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:28,300
kind of get in there, it felt
like very much a like a square
436
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:30,900
peg.
Round hole situations with some
437
00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:34,800
of the Styles and then the
system sounds a play of the
438
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,000
players with the system.
We were implementing and so
439
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,100
little time to prep it's a
little time to really get the
440
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:45,800
the techniques and the Concepts
ironed out and instead of just
441
00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:48,500
essentially understanding The
Playbook enough to line up
442
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,300
correctly and I feel like that
was a lot of what what we were
443
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:55,000
trying to do early on was just
all right if we can if we can
444
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,400
line up correctly we might be
all right and you know that goes
445
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,300
back to the no true offseason
but I mean, as the season went
446
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:04,000
on, they started looking a
little better.
447
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,000
Some of the position group
started to come around a little
448
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,100
bit.
We started working in some of
449
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:13,100
the older Concepts to kind of
make the transition feel a
450
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:17,600
Little bit better, kind of stuck
with the new Concepts we got,
451
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,200
but maybe throughout some of the
ones we were struggling with and
452
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,500
went to more of a Bud style
system in those situations where
453
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:29,100
that was called for.
So yeah, I'd say, see, - what
454
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:31,300
about you, buddy?
I'm going to just straight-up,
455
00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:36,400
see, and a lot of reasons just
very similar what you hit the,
456
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,300
no offseason thing, you know,
that, that probably the biggest
457
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:43,100
not being able to truly install
what he wanted.
458
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,900
To do.
But the reason I bring it to a c
459
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:49,200
and not a lower grade because we
did not have a good defense this
460
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,500
season.
Anybody that tells you we did,
461
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:53,600
they need to be slapped because
they weren't paying attention
462
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:59,500
but a I think the scheme that he
wants to run in general, I think
463
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:01,900
it can work with the type of
talent we can get right now.
464
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:07,800
And also with this scheme it is
bringing up into more than
465
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,700
modern day where but had
adjusted it feels like the last
466
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,800
Of years that things were
passing by.
467
00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:19,100
And it was getting us further.
And further behind the 8-ball,
468
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,100
very interesting, we forced 17
turnovers this year.
469
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:29,000
So, now you're looking at an 11
game season, that's one and a
470
00:31:29,008 --> 00:31:32,900
half a game.
That's a significant amount of
471
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:36,500
the other thing is, I'll say, is
this the play in the latter half
472
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:42,000
of the Season especially against
Clemson against Miami and UVA.
473
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:47,700
The week before, Miami Dash
hollifield is presser said,
474
00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:51,900
things are starting to click
three of the next four weeks are
475
00:31:51,900 --> 00:31:53,300
through the best defensive
performances.
476
00:31:53,300 --> 00:31:58,100
Yes, 45 points were given up to
claim:.
477
00:31:58,300 --> 00:31:59,700
Most of those in a quarter and a
half.
478
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:01,400
Well, as it does in a quarter
and a half.
479
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,500
Also, we had four turnovers that
game.
480
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:09,000
They also force, one of those
turnovers back into its several
481
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,700
work in our territory.
But overall, what you saw was
482
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:19,400
His scheme against that type of
talent for for two and a half,
483
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,300
quarters a day day one, I'm not
going to confuse but they will
484
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:26,000
kind of Struggle Bus them and
you had a knowing what he can
485
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,800
get.
And you see some of the pieces
486
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,500
that are coming down in the
pipe.
487
00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:34,100
You're like, okay, if this, if
this goes the best way, it can
488
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:37,300
go.
Could put us back into that 115
489
00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:40,600
consistently.
All right, Brian, let's move on
490
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,400
next.
Let's go to build till Nick.
491
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,800
We overall given him a b-plus.
I personally gave him an a -
492
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:52,300
very how I'm built a the way we
looked on the defensive line
493
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:57,100
from game one to the last game,
looks significantly better.
494
00:32:57,100 --> 00:33:00,400
In my opinion.
You know, we averaged, you know,
495
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,300
over three sacks of game which
was good for ninth in the
496
00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:09,100
country, 36 total sacks which
was good for fifth in the
497
00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:11,900
country.
We were getting almost seven
498
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:13,600
tackles for loss of gain.
Mmmmm.
499
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:21,500
But that's only 30 second, but
listen to this. 328 yards lost
500
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:23,600
on those.
That was good for ninth.
501
00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:27,300
Okay, well here that that's
telling me penetrate and we're
502
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:32,000
the defensive line were getting
the guys down when they got to
503
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,800
him in the backfield and I'll
say this, I think probably him
504
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,200
with the combination of the next
person.
505
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,100
We talked about, got Jordan
Williams in the boat.
506
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:45,200
That's true.
I know, we're pretty much
507
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,600
grating on field product here
with, that's definitely
508
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,000
something we're going to Ring up
in certain cases here to justify
509
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,400
our grade.
I feel like because that's part
510
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,500
of the puzzle piece to here and
some of this stuff is coming,
511
00:33:56,500 --> 00:33:59,500
you know you start working on
them in season start working on
512
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:02,000
just after the season.
I wouldn't be here.
513
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:04,500
I like the fact that are sacked
numbers are up.
514
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,400
I like that the season went on
and you can see that they were
515
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,699
adjusting to it more, the
technique being very much about
516
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:18,199
disrupting the action in the
back field whether it's it pass.
517
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:21,600
Player Run play.
If you're disrupting that,
518
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,600
you're going to get a lot of
tackles for loss, it's showing
519
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,600
up on the stat sheet and it's
showing up, especially in the
520
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,699
amount of yards that that they
surrendered in those tackles for
521
00:34:31,699 --> 00:34:34,000
loss and the number of sacks we
have.
522
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
So I feel like those are
positive things that we're
523
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,400
looking forward to in the
future.
524
00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:42,600
The biggest thing that I thought
that I saw that, I like the most
525
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,500
is how fast they brought bar no
along from being a very
526
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:49,600
situational.
Player to being an every down
527
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,000
player.
By the end of the season, he was
528
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,500
one of the two or three best
players on the defense.
529
00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:01,300
Yeah, and that's and that's
coming from game one where if it
530
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:04,200
wasn't third and long, he looked
lost.
531
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:13,900
So that's a big, big shift in
his ability to impact the game
532
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,400
and that's in season.
Imagine if you get them off
533
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,200
season with him a proper
offseason, a proper spraying.
534
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:23,300
That's going to be something.
It is, let's flip to the next
535
00:35:23,300 --> 00:35:28,200
guy on the line Darryl Tapp
overall, we give them a E+
536
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,100
Brian.
You gave them the higher grade
537
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:34,600
than me, so I'll let you lead.
So I mean, I'm going to give him
538
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,800
some of the credit on what's
going on with bar, know they're
539
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:41,500
bringing him along.
I got a feeling that tap was
540
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:45,800
probably working some with him
one-on-one to kind of bring him
541
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,100
along as bills working with
whole line or half line or
542
00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:51,900
something like that.
So I feel like he's got a big
543
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:56,500
chunk of bar.
No, coming along their love, the
544
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:58,600
energy that he brings.
Is Love The Bona Fide
545
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:03,600
credentials of both being
Virginia, native hokey and
546
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,100
having that NFL pedigree that he
brings to the game.
547
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,200
I got him.
Like I said just a shade lower
548
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,700
than then tearling just because
I don't know how much he had
549
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,600
impact on the scheme design and
things like that of the
550
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,500
defensive line.
But I feel like he's he's
551
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:25,300
bringing a lot of good things to
the table and when we talk about
552
00:36:25,300 --> 00:36:28,700
the recruiting side of things,
this Is the guy that's bringing
553
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:34,000
people into the building and
getting guys like Jordan
554
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,800
Williams in the portal because
of those Bona fides and I was
555
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:43,300
talking about earlier well and
you wouldn't be - I meant like a
556
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:48,600
c and it's not an act of Darryl
but the the couple big reason is
557
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:53,100
because of built till next rep.
I don't know where to put him
558
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:58,900
because we know when you read
about Bill is is Dad wherever
559
00:36:58,900 --> 00:37:00,700
bill is coach.
The defensive lines have been
560
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:02,400
good.
They've been good.
561
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,900
It's not like well he goes to
every here and there.
562
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:08,100
Okay.
And then he went there, they're
563
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:10,500
really good, it's like know
wherever he's been the defensive
564
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:15,000
lines have been the anchors for
their defense has.
565
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,400
So it's so tough to say what he
did versus what.
566
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,700
Tap did what I'm going to tell
you what you talked about it.
567
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:27,400
The fire on the sidelines was
definitely there bringing the
568
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,700
energy.
The one I think about the
569
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:34,600
biggest one was the Duke game
with getting the stop giving
570
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,700
that stop because you they
showed him and he was fired.
571
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:48,000
Those guys up and got that stop.
And do think that if he kills
572
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,600
cruden, And that's every level
starving Jordan Williams.
573
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,000
Today, the the high school
level.
574
00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:59,800
The portal level could be in a
next year at this time.
575
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:03,300
But then I kind of think about
what you said with bar know, and
576
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:08,300
maybe I should put in a C+ or
maybe even the be - with you to
577
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:12,400
bring them up to a b - because
it makes sense, you have a
578
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:18,600
feeling that A if Bill saw
something with bar, no, starting
579
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,400
to click.
If he just told Darrell, you've
580
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,800
got to go with them on and he
could and you know, two guys
581
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,500
being in the NFL and he can say,
you know what about me, helping
582
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:31,700
Justice justices, good
Fillmore's doing I'll work with
583
00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:35,300
them.
You can get him to be in an
584
00:38:35,308 --> 00:38:36,900
every down player in a few
weeks.
585
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,100
Did what you just said by six
games into the season, he was
586
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:47,400
basically in every down player
re can have it, you know, still
587
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,600
trying to figure out how he
didn't get a higher.
588
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:54,000
You know how he did get higher
on the all-acc when he led the
589
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,000
freaking league and tackles for
loss.
590
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:59,800
Yep.
They're all right.
591
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,200
So let's go next to the next guy
here.
592
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,300
Braun Ron Smith me and you
agreed.
593
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:10,800
Down the line on this one, Ron
Smith Reserve b-plus.
594
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:15,000
I mean could have been higher.
I think it would have been
595
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000
higher if he had Caleb and a
healthy germane but me he lost
596
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,500
his best quarterbacks basically
at the beginning, the season
597
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,100
because Jermaine was never ride
all year.
598
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,800
Caleb gone early, he got put in
some crazy situations, you know.
599
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,200
Basically his first couple
games, he's basically calling
600
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,900
plays out there, but all year,
his unit They consistently
601
00:39:38,900 --> 00:39:42,400
performed.
You know, they didn't they
602
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,800
didn't blow it out the water but
they were never the liability on
603
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,800
defense.
No, and the other thing that to
604
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,700
me took in from a beach of the
B+, right underneath an a-minus.
605
00:39:55,300 --> 00:39:58,700
He basically coach Dorian strong
from the 13th hundred, best
606
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:02,600
player in the country fruiting
ranking saying to a freshman
607
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,800
All-American and that's got the
big thing that I had on my
608
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,100
grades as well man.
You're working with, you know,
609
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:16,200
you had your two best corners
that one opted out the other
610
00:40:16,700 --> 00:40:20,000
Miss so much time.
And the time that he was there,
611
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,900
he was not 100%.
So you're pretty much work.
612
00:40:24,100 --> 00:40:27,100
King with your number three and
number four corner to start the
613
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:29,800
year.
On top of the fact that one of
614
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:34,100
the corners you brought in had
to be moved to safety and you
615
00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:37,700
have a true freshman that's
having to play a significant
616
00:40:37,700 --> 00:40:43,200
amount of snaps, right out the
gate, handled all of this and
617
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,400
honestly thrived in most of the
cases, they're man brought
618
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,400
strong on very quickly had
veterans, adjust to the newer
619
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,300
scheme faster than the other
positions on the It's other than
620
00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:58,500
a few blown coverages here.
Are there?
621
00:40:58,500 --> 00:41:01,100
Which sometimes is just an
execution thing and not add to
622
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:06,200
anything to do with coaching.
I've got very little to complain
623
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,000
about.
Like I said, it's just it's hard
624
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,000
to give him a hacker grade just
because of the fact that he was
625
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,700
working with one hand tied
behind his back before the
626
00:41:17,700 --> 00:41:20,600
season started, Truman very
true.
627
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,900
But it's tough to give him a bad
grade because of how it is.
628
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,600
Unibrow certainly.
Yeah I mean he definitely made
629
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,000
lemonade out of lemons there.
Now the next guy in the last
630
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,600
gallon defensive side of the
ball, Our worst grade was Tracy
631
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,200
claeys with the background, he
has.
632
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,400
And how me, and you expected the
linebackers door, especially
633
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,100
with the experience unit.
We're giving them an f+.
634
00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:51,900
So thing, guys, f+ the thing
plus is the thing Brawn, I'ma
635
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:57,800
let you go first because you
Echo like everything I have But
636
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,600
I I gave him slightly different,
just a slight.
637
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:10,300
I gave him one position
regressed across the board.
638
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:14,200
I mean, if this was one
position, one player or maybe a
639
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,500
couple of the guys, you might
say, oh well, you know, it's
640
00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:21,300
just covid this that the third
know like everybody on his
641
00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:24,600
position unit regressed.
Across the board.
642
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:29,200
It took them forever to even get
consistent at playing the
643
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,900
position that you were talking
earlier.
644
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:35,200
We're deck said, you know, three
games left in the season, we're
645
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,100
finally starting to click,
that's not good.
646
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:44,400
All right, Bob that's not good.
That's not good at all, you know
647
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,800
Brooke.
It probably the worst season of
648
00:42:45,808 --> 00:42:51,600
his career Tisdale Oscillated
between looking like an
649
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,300
All-American and looking like he
didn't know what the fuck he was
650
00:42:54,300 --> 00:42:57,800
doing.
Like he'd have a, he'd have a
651
00:42:57,808 --> 00:43:00,100
play where he looked like the
best player on the field and the
652
00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:02,300
next play.
He looked like he was lost like
653
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:06,000
just literally out of out of out
of position doing the wrong
654
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,100
thing, just not knowing what the
fuck is going on?
655
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,900
And for someone slightly
underside of the position you
656
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:12,700
damn will need to be in the
right place.
657
00:43:14,500 --> 00:43:16,700
It's true.
Not just saying you can't be
658
00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:19,700
undersized and not doing the the
the technique, right?
659
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:32,400
And Dax was decks for six weeks.
It's just Dex settled in towards
660
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,400
the end of the year and probably
at the end of the season, was
661
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,300
the most consistent linebacker
on the field.
662
00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:41,700
Which if you told me that at the
beginning, the season out of
663
00:43:41,700 --> 00:43:45,700
said you were full of it.
You have the like I'll smack.
664
00:43:45,700 --> 00:43:57,500
You get out of here.
Ya go along with.
665
00:43:57,500 --> 00:44:01,600
I'm not gonna say anything but
the only reason I did not give
666
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,900
him enough and I maybe I'm just
nice.
667
00:44:03,900 --> 00:44:07,500
I didn't give anybody.
D enough, anybody enough?
668
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,100
I give Maddie - because of
covid, he did not have a chance
669
00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:16,600
to work with the guys you know
throughout the spring and stuff.
670
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:23,200
And of all the guys on this
coaching staff, he was the has
671
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,900
the most tenured.
He's essentially coaching close
672
00:44:25,900 --> 00:44:29,000
to 27 years, he's gonna
coordinator before.
673
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,800
He's been a successful
coordinator before, which is why
674
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:37,000
what we saw this year was Head,
scratching and what the fucking
675
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,200
exactly.
Exactly.
676
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,200
We hope there is a spring where
he can work with the guys and
677
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,700
build upon what those last four
games where we could like, you
678
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:48,200
said.
And like, I mentioned laughter
679
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,600
games, kind of clicked in with
especially with Brooke going pro
680
00:44:52,700 --> 00:44:57,500
and that coming back at Mike
Dax, clicking late playing Mike
681
00:44:57,900 --> 00:45:02,300
could be a big step Tracy.
You got nowhere to go but up
682
00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:03,500
baby.
Yeah.
683
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,600
All right, we gotta you got a
small chance of going down to a
684
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,000
full left.
Not an f+ but you know that's
685
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,200
neither here.
Nor there we invented f+.
686
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,700
Anyway.
Yes Alton am honest.
687
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:19,700
It's essentially a thirds and
lured.
688
00:45:19,700 --> 00:45:21,800
By the way, there are plus to
the bottom though.
689
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,700
Yeah, it's true.
He's at the garage level.
690
00:45:37,700 --> 00:45:40,600
Then this is garage level.
He is not white at the lobby,
691
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,500
but United the bottom either.
He's on the boiler room yet.
692
00:45:54,900 --> 00:46:02,000
By the way, or is it 3517?
Either way, I picked looking
693
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,200
good.
Well, maybe not too good because
694
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,500
they might put put 60 on them.
All right, let's move over to
695
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:10,900
offense and let's start with the
wide receiver coach too far
696
00:46:10,900 --> 00:46:13,800
Williams too far in his second
full season.
697
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:21,900
We kind of pretty much agreed on
this see - form run and Brian.
698
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,200
What do you feel like what do
you feel like he's doing so far
699
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,700
that making him not in the D's?
Not in the below, average is but
700
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,400
I mean on the good side to good
side.
701
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,000
So number one is he's done a
damn good job of teaching.
702
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,600
These guys to block whether the
quarterbacks running the ball or
703
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,100
whether the running backs had
the ball or whether it's a Jet
704
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:49,100
Sweep.
These guys know how to block out
705
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:52,000
there in space.
So that is a big plus because
706
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,600
that's not the easiest thing to
teach wide receivers.
707
00:46:57,900 --> 00:47:03,100
And number two Trey Turner
Tavian Robinson had good
708
00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:06,500
Seasons, not spectacular
Seasons, but they had good
709
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:09,000
Seasons.
Yeah, from there, it's kind of
710
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,200
downhill.
He did a poor job of getting
711
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,900
other guys.
A lot of touches in this
712
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:16,200
offense.
Some of that had to do with the
713
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,800
fact that they weren't doing a
good job of getting separation,
714
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,000
some of it had to do with the
rotations and the I think the
715
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,400
level of trust that they had in
those guys I don't think they
716
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,100
gave them enough Trust.
To make those plays.
717
00:47:29,100 --> 00:47:31,400
And I think that's part of
that's a big problem in some of
718
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,300
that goes back to the position
coach.
719
00:47:34,700 --> 00:47:38,800
I think we've seen a lot of
attrition at that position since
720
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,000
he's been there and some of that
has to do with someone else will
721
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,800
get to and some of that has to
do with him.
722
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,600
And I think next season is kind
of make or break, I think we
723
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,800
need to have all these CC
caliber players at the wide
724
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,600
receiver position next year, if
we're going to keep this guy
725
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,500
around for another season
because Not killing it on the
726
00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:00,400
recruiting Trail either.
If he was killing it on the
727
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,100
recruiting Trail, you might be
able to overlook some of the
728
00:48:03,100 --> 00:48:05,500
stuff that's going on on the
field but he's not doing that
729
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:08,800
either.
It's true, I'm with you on the
730
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,000
make-or-break year but what do
we know?
731
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,300
Because her wit this is Foose
year one, we're going to get to
732
00:48:15,308 --> 00:48:20,900
that later.
Stop it because pray and they
733
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:24,300
are good and they produce you
you know they don't always get
734
00:48:24,300 --> 00:48:27,000
separation but they occasionally
do get separation.
735
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:31,500
They're to me, I feel like
Tavian Robinson's route running
736
00:48:31,500 --> 00:48:34,500
got better this year.
Like, there were times where he
737
00:48:34,500 --> 00:48:37,000
finds his own and just kind of
hang there and you get the ball
738
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,300
to him.
Let's definitely reading things
739
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:41,200
better.
And I mean, take tase, tase
740
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:45,100
plus, has always been like his
ability to kind of make those
741
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:48,900
lateral cuts at smooth.
Like he doesn't, he doesn't have
742
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:52,900
the best top-end speed but when
he when he makes those cuts,
743
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:55,300
he's not slowing down, he's not
losing that step.
744
00:48:55,300 --> 00:48:57,200
So he like but I'm gonna make
one more.
745
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,100
Yep.
No other receivers stepped up.
746
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:05,300
And you talked about the
attrition But is that his fault
747
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,800
again?
That's what he's got a he's got
748
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,200
a lonesome of it because I feel
like it's like a Wiggins would
749
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,700
have talked some of these guys
to stay and gotten them involved
750
00:49:15,700 --> 00:49:20,700
and figured out a way.
And I know it's hard to as we're
751
00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:24,900
talking about Devante Smith
winning a Heisman Trophy with
752
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:28,000
Holman Wiggins that they're
coaching him, it's kind of hard
753
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,700
to compare Williams to that, but
that's what we had before
754
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:34,500
Williams got here.
So the four Silly motherfucker.
755
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:43,700
That's what we're comparing you
against it is what we will talk
756
00:49:43,700 --> 00:49:46,200
about that in a little while.
All right, let's move next to
757
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,800
obviously your favorite band
spice overall.
758
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,200
We're giving him a b.
I'm going to, I'm going to go
759
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,300
first and hit a few quick points
and let you jump in because I
760
00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:56,500
know this is your bread.
Dude.
761
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,600
Be for me, best offensive line
we'd seen in a long time.
762
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,700
In this program, the running
game was absolutely dominant.
763
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:08,000
Ain't the passing game wasn't
bad when we give up 22 sacks
764
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,600
about two sacks of game, 48th in
the country about middle of the
765
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,500
road.
We could, when you're running
766
00:50:13,500 --> 00:50:16,000
the ball as good as we did, that
something you can live with.
767
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:20,900
He literally made Christian.
Daris offers from pick and I
768
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:23,900
know some people will say well
that's Dara saw to and it's to a
769
00:50:23,900 --> 00:50:29,100
point it's like We have seen
players who are unbelievable
770
00:50:29,100 --> 00:50:31,300
when they get to the pros, get
draft in the seventh round
771
00:50:31,300 --> 00:50:33,500
because they have piss-poor
coaching in college.
772
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:36,100
We've seen it.
It happens now.
773
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:42,100
He was probably a boy - for me
or an a for me, but that great
774
00:50:42,100 --> 00:50:46,400
game considering lie down with
the transfers, especially the
775
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,800
caliber of transfers.
Brian, it's all yours now.
776
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,700
Easily best offensive line
across the board that we've had
777
00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:57,500
in a decade.
Most of it with homegrown guys,
778
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:04,300
most of it on the strength of
big-name guys that Vice targeted
779
00:51:04,300 --> 00:51:10,000
specifically.
So we're talking Nestor, we're
780
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:16,700
talking Brock Hoffman and
obviously Dara saw was a guy
781
00:51:16,700 --> 00:51:20,500
that was brought in, I think a
combination of a couple guys on
782
00:51:20,500 --> 00:51:22,500
the staff, but Vice definitely
played a role there.
783
00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:27,700
So Dara saw being a homegrown
development situation there for
784
00:51:27,700 --> 00:51:32,400
us, we've got take a guy that
came in not necessarily
785
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,200
highly-touted.
Now, all of a sudden, he's
786
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:38,900
arguably the number one tackle
in the draft this year as
787
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:42,100
technically underclassmen soul.
I mean, that's some big fucking
788
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:46,800
shit to talk about.
Yeah, I love the Run blocking,
789
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,000
that's gotten significantly
better and he's been targeted.
790
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:54,200
Guys that are coming out of high
school, that know how to fucking
791
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,100
run block, block through the
whistle.
792
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:01,200
Got a little, got a little mean
streak to them, and I like that.
793
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,100
And it's finally showing up on
the field.
794
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,700
And so, that's a good thing.
Plas pass, blocking was
795
00:52:08,700 --> 00:52:13,100
sufficient outside of Dara saw,
no one was Elite, everybody's
796
00:52:13,100 --> 00:52:17,000
very, very middle of the road
but as much as we drop back we
797
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,700
didn't need much better than
middle of the road and And most
798
00:52:20,700 --> 00:52:24,800
times as long as we had the
right checks before the snap, we
799
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,900
weren't giving up a ton of sacks
in the game where that was a
800
00:52:28,300 --> 00:52:30,400
complete liability, where we
were getting taken out of the
801
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,800
game because of sacks.
It's so that's something big to
802
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,500
hang your hat on.
It is discussed throughout the
803
00:52:38,500 --> 00:52:43,100
season, we're not on the line,
the line did their job to block.
804
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:47,200
It was essentially quarterback.
Not getting rid of the ball like
805
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:50,000
the Braxton Burmeister play
versus into you stay with me.
806
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:54,300
His wrist perfectly block.
Yeah find the open guy.
807
00:52:54,300 --> 00:52:56,300
He it's a scramble he gets
sacked.
808
00:52:56,300 --> 00:52:58,800
They get credited for it as a
sack against them.
809
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:03,700
When in reality it's like they
held up 47 seconds.
810
00:53:05,300 --> 00:53:06,900
I mean at some point you know
you gotta.
811
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,100
Yeah.
It's some point you guys sex or
812
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,700
sex or very it's one of those
things where it's you have.
813
00:53:13,700 --> 00:53:16,300
The offensive line gets the
Lion's Share of the blame for
814
00:53:16,300 --> 00:53:20,400
them but you know you can't just
say, well, they gave With this
815
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,200
many sacks and say, well that's
indicative of a bad pass
816
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,000
blocking offensive line.
It's not always the case.
817
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,200
I mean, in this case I'd say,
you know, we're 48th in the
818
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,700
country in terms of actual
talent.
819
00:53:32,700 --> 00:53:38,100
Maybe top, 40 top, 35?
I mean we got some situations
820
00:53:38,100 --> 00:53:40,800
where guys are doing the wrong
thing with the football.
821
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,300
So that that happens man.
What?
822
00:53:44,300 --> 00:53:48,800
Yeah, do you think that one of
these analytical Services should
823
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,000
start documenting?
Insects more than, like two and
824
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:56,000
a half seconds where you can
say, if someone like an online
825
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,400
that like you and someone that
pays attention like me to say,
826
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:03,600
well, shit, you know, they gave
a 40 secs, 28 of them are over.
827
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,700
40 seconds, are over two and a
half seconds.
828
00:54:06,100 --> 00:54:08,000
That is an offensive line
problem.
829
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,000
That's a quarterback that I can.
Yeah.
830
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:16,700
I mean you do something like
pocket sex in less than 5
831
00:54:16,700 --> 00:54:21,700
seconds or something like that.
Because offensive line is, they
832
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,700
shouldn't always get dinged
Force acts that occur outside
833
00:54:25,700 --> 00:54:28,200
the pocket.
Exactly, but maybe they
834
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,500
shouldn't get dinged for sex
that take place, five seconds or
835
00:54:32,508 --> 00:54:36,500
greater after the snap.
So if you just remove those, I
836
00:54:36,508 --> 00:54:40,200
feel like that'd be a fair of
pretty fair assessment of an
837
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,200
offensive line in terms of past
Pro.
838
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:45,800
Anybody else that's offensive
line out there.
839
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,300
They can comment on this and
tell me how wrong I am or how
840
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:53,600
right I am. but, All right,
well, that's my two cents on it.
841
00:54:54,100 --> 00:54:59,300
Let's move on to the next coach,
first-year, coach, Adam, like
842
00:54:59,300 --> 00:55:03,100
Timber get running back overall,
he gets a b.
843
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,000
I'm gonna jump on this one real
quick brown before you jump into
844
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,300
it.
I have one statement / Chris
845
00:55:08,300 --> 00:55:10,000
Stapleton.
I was wrong.
846
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,100
Yeah man, you missed on this
one.
847
00:55:15,100 --> 00:55:19,300
I mean obviously depending on
who you are, you might vary this
848
00:55:19,300 --> 00:55:22,500
grade, you know, up a Letter
grade or down a letter grade,
849
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:24,700
but nobody's giving this guy a d
or an F.
850
00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:29,800
What we saw this year?
Yeah, this the most production
851
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:34,900
we've gotten for the running
back position since 2011 and if
852
00:55:34,900 --> 00:55:40,900
it weren't for Her being out,
essentially, two full games
853
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:44,200
between sitting one and being
very limited.
854
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:49,100
And another, he probably even,
you know, crushes it even more
855
00:55:49,100 --> 00:55:51,600
there.
So, that's, that's got to be
856
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,500
something that we look at.
He also does a great job
857
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,200
recruiting in the transfer
portal in the Juco circuit.
858
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,700
He really does a good job of
bringing those guys in so
859
00:55:59,900 --> 00:56:02,300
highlighting Talent.
Spotlighting, those guys getting
860
00:56:02,300 --> 00:56:06,500
them in letting the position
coaches kind of finish the job,
861
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,700
Job.
But he's the guy that kind of
862
00:56:07,700 --> 00:56:09,900
gets the ball rolling on a lot
of these things and he does a
863
00:56:09,900 --> 00:56:12,400
good job there.
I'm dinging him down from
864
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,700
probably what could have been a
a minus B plus down to a solid B
865
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,200
because he should not have had
Blackshear as a freaking spell
866
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,500
back.
We have to determine if that was
867
00:56:22,500 --> 00:56:26,000
him or not though, we have not.
But I'm, he's a position coach.
868
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,500
If he's got to have the balls to
7% and tell, whoever it is, that
869
00:56:30,500 --> 00:56:33,200
is making those decisions.
If it's not him that you need to
870
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,400
sit the fuck down.
There's something you just said,
871
00:56:37,700 --> 00:56:42,900
But to it because how he is
identified, the Juco and the
872
00:56:42,908 --> 00:56:45,900
troll portal town.
It's like he can look at a guy
873
00:56:45,900 --> 00:56:49,800
and say, he just need.
We just need to get in this
874
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:54,900
guy's here, and he can take the
step and here, it was far.
875
00:56:54,900 --> 00:56:57,700
No, it was Herbert.
It was black here in certain
876
00:56:57,700 --> 00:57:02,600
situations that they use black
hero to be a lot better, but I
877
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,100
liked for who we are as a
program.
878
00:57:06,300 --> 00:57:10,200
He's the type, he is the type of
guy you want to say, well, look
879
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,400
at this new coat.
A, no, no, that guy that guy
880
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,000
right.
There is one step away from
881
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,500
being the division, one college
football in the more you get
882
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:22,000
those in, especially where we
are as a program, the more it's
883
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,500
going to help.
All right, let's move on to
884
00:57:24,500 --> 00:57:28,400
tight end. / special teams
coordinator James Shad, best, we
885
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,700
are giving him a b - I gave them
C.
886
00:57:31,700 --> 00:57:35,200
Plus it would have been a b-plus
but for one.
887
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,100
Damn.
Reason you can we Lottie how to
888
00:57:38,100 --> 00:57:41,700
freakin field?
A punt, full letter grade drop,
889
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:43,900
everything else.
Awesome.
890
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,500
What you did?
That's a full letter grade drop
891
00:57:46,500 --> 00:57:52,000
because it cost us multiple
gangs and me, it made the Duke
892
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,600
game closer than it should be
made a couple other games either
893
00:57:55,900 --> 00:57:59,600
with Out Of Reach or completely
lost on the on the fact of it.
894
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,400
So yeah, I'm with you there man.
We saw some really good
895
00:58:04,100 --> 00:58:06,900
production from the tight ends.
Actually James Mitchell.
896
00:58:07,900 --> 00:58:12,000
We saw a couple other guys.
Come on, Gallo, especially,
897
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,900
yeah, Drake had some some good
good snaps in there.
898
00:58:15,900 --> 00:58:22,000
This year, I didn't feel like we
We didn't super Miss Dalton
899
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,500
Kane.
I felt like they did a good job
900
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:25,700
by committee kind of filling in
those roles.
901
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:30,000
James Mitchell's blocking went
up significantly, he was a much
902
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,500
better blocker this year, not to
be, was ever a bad blocker, but
903
00:58:32,500 --> 00:58:34,600
he was much better this year
than he had been.
904
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:39,300
And, like, you said, man, muff,
Punk's.
905
00:58:39,300 --> 00:58:42,400
Got to stop.
We can't have muffed punt, so
906
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:46,100
those situations, but I think he
did good job with some of the
907
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:50,500
situational special team calls.
So I'm going to give him the The
908
00:58:50,500 --> 00:58:54,900
a bump up for that if we could
get Romo to stop kicking out of
909
00:58:54,900 --> 00:58:57,200
bounds occasionally and, you
know, feel too.
910
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:58,500
Damn, pun.
I think we're going to be all
911
00:58:58,500 --> 00:58:59,600
right.
At that position, man.
912
00:59:00,300 --> 00:59:02,200
It's very true, man.
All right.
913
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,600
Well we kind of Saved.
We did this order for a
914
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,500
particular reason, so we could
highlight probably to people.
915
00:59:08,500 --> 00:59:12,100
We you can say bashed or you can
say I'm not going to say that to
916
00:59:12,100 --> 00:59:15,300
people, we have constructively
criticized all year.
917
00:59:17,100 --> 00:59:20,500
Let's start with bread, poor
Nielsen.
918
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,200
I gave bread corn, Nielsen a
d-minus, it matched our overall
919
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,400
because my D- was damn near
enough.
920
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:36,400
Plus in Brian's D was damn near
d - yes, it's it's the same shit
921
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:42,000
Braun, you know, we're sitting
here watching these two teams
922
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,800
tonight and it is, it's an 18
point lead for Alabama.
923
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:50,200
They have excelled offensive ly.
I can't tell you what Alabama is
924
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:51,600
going to do next.
I can't tell.
925
00:59:51,700 --> 00:59:53,400
You the concepts going to come
out.
926
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:57,900
Listen in a few fries and a
place and and, you know, the
927
00:59:57,900 --> 01:00:02,500
a.n.t. head coach with chizik.
I don't think he could do that.
928
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,700
I think you would sound like a
bleep and wore on
929
01:00:24,300 --> 01:00:27,400
Yeah.
I mean I feel like it's you know
930
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,800
you talked about the thing with
sitting in the in the booth and
931
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,900
watching the national
championship and commenting on
932
01:00:33,900 --> 01:00:37,800
it, explaining things in real
time and I feel like maybe it's
933
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:43,600
a processing thing because I
feel like we had just so slow
934
01:00:43,900 --> 01:00:47,000
situational play calls are so
bad.
935
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:52,100
We get across the opponent's 40
and just forget out of fucking
936
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:58,400
Play offense, I figured out a
call, the game, lose the flow,
937
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:04,700
whatever you want to call it,
and it's just, it's so
938
01:01:04,700 --> 01:01:07,800
frustrating in mind-numbing
that.
939
01:01:09,900 --> 01:01:12,800
We've got that much talent on
the field.
940
01:01:12,900 --> 01:01:16,100
We're scoring at a clip.
That's pretty high.
941
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:21,000
Yep, at times and then, you
know, a few play calls here in a
942
01:01:21,008 --> 01:01:25,000
few play calls there, and take
two touchdowns off the board.
943
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,200
It's like, it's, it's so
frustrating.
944
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:32,300
It's very, it's just my numbing
and the adjustments don't come.
945
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,200
We keep saying, we do what we
do.
946
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,400
But if what we do ain't working,
we need to do some Nails, damn
947
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,300
it.
And earlier today, I hit Brian
948
01:01:43,300 --> 01:01:44,800
up with these stats and y'all
good.
949
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,500
You can look at it.
The data is out there.
950
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:50,500
We scored our range this year
and y'all think with the talent
951
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:55,500
we've had the offensive line
James Mitchell, Tate, Ray juice,
952
01:01:56,300 --> 01:02:00,200
whatever quarterback we had back
there, we scored an area range
953
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:09,200
from 10 points to 45 points.
We scored less than 24 for X.
954
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,400
That makes no God, forsaken
sentence.
955
01:02:12,700 --> 01:02:16,000
To score less than 24 points,
four times.
956
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:20,300
And then, as I'm digging into a
deeper and deeper, and I through
957
01:02:20,300 --> 01:02:22,300
this tube right, I think it
shocked a little bit because it
958
01:02:22,300 --> 01:02:24,400
took him a couple.
It took him a few minutes to
959
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,100
respond to me.
We scored 62 points in the
960
01:02:28,107 --> 01:02:31,400
second half this year of our
game 62 points.
961
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:35,800
We averaged 31 and game.
Do the math, that shows you
962
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:39,000
right there.
That we were scoring well over.
963
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,700
We were scoring 200 plus points
in the first half.
964
01:02:42,700 --> 01:02:45,300
Half 62 points in the second
half.
965
01:02:45,300 --> 01:02:48,000
That's 10 points, that's not
good in itself.
966
01:02:48,500 --> 01:02:51,600
What makes it worse?
Brian, when I sent you this, I
967
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,700
believe you gave me the bullshit
in, right?
968
01:02:55,400 --> 01:03:00,400
You take out the 31 points.
We scored against UNC in the
969
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,200
second half.
And do the math.
970
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:07,400
We scored, average six points in
the second half of the other
971
01:03:07,900 --> 01:03:14,300
games, that, that can't happen.
You can't come out of halftime
972
01:03:14,300 --> 01:03:17,900
essentially, sit on leads and
then sometimes you don't have
973
01:03:17,900 --> 01:03:23,400
those leads, those are the
losses to the second 31 in five
974
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:27,700
games we lost.
Not killing you and see 31
975
01:03:27,700 --> 01:03:29,700
points.
So if we're up for not doing
976
01:03:29,700 --> 01:03:31,900
enough to keep the lead and if
we're down, we're not doing
977
01:03:31,900 --> 01:03:36,700
anything to get it back.
We're not, we're not and, you
978
01:03:36,700 --> 01:03:42,500
know, it's just point where it's
like, If plan a doesn't work,
979
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,600
there is no adjusting, there is
no changing of Direction.
980
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,200
It's essentially square peg,
round hole Ram, it harder.
981
01:03:50,500 --> 01:03:52,200
And that's where some of the
stuff you talk about.
982
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,300
The situational play-calling
just infuriates you because it's
983
01:03:55,300 --> 01:03:58,000
in here and it's like, they know
that's coming.
984
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,700
Do something different.
Yeah, I mean he's got above
985
01:04:00,700 --> 01:04:05,500
average design, but it's the
adjustments and the situational
986
01:04:05,500 --> 01:04:10,900
play calling, that just Dooms
this offense, a lot of times and
987
01:04:10,900 --> 01:04:14,200
sometimes its execution and
sand, which goes back to a
988
01:04:14,207 --> 01:04:16,800
degree to coaching.
And sometimes, it's just the
989
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,100
coaches, not putting these
players in the right position to
990
01:04:19,100 --> 01:04:20,700
make the plays and need to be.
B.
991
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,300
And a lot of that goes back to
the play call or law that goes
992
01:04:25,300 --> 01:04:27,700
back to the head coach and some
of the goes back to the position
993
01:04:27,700 --> 01:04:31,400
coaches but I mean at this point
we're talking about Brad
994
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:36,600
cornelison.
A guy that Again we haven't had
995
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,700
access to Hope on whatever
reason.
996
01:04:40,300 --> 01:04:45,800
Yeah.
And devoid of an answer and
997
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:49,800
devoid of other facts to present
an opposing case.
998
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:55,000
This is the conclusion that
we've come up with so you know,
999
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:58,000
maybe if we get more access to
the guy will seem a well, he was
1000
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,500
a fucking scapegoat the whole
time, I don't think so, but
1001
01:05:01,500 --> 01:05:05,100
maybe maybe we'll see that.
But as of right now, they have
1002
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,800
not given us any reason to think
otherwise, Two of the four
1003
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:15,300
coaches, we had to ask, is it?
Are they the issue, wise?
1004
01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:18,200
The second line guys aren't
producing or is it somebody
1005
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,400
else?
We have what about Jafar?
1006
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,700
We ask that about in and like,
Timbers can't seem like the
1007
01:05:25,700 --> 01:05:27,100
worst case to we didn't even
mention.
1008
01:05:27,100 --> 01:05:30,900
It was Jalen Holston.
Yeah, not getting him, the
1009
01:05:30,908 --> 01:05:34,000
touches are really not getting
him to spell juice.
1010
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,600
You kind of sit there and we sit
here we talk about and we could
1011
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,500
say, if you had the right combo,
they're running Blackshear,
1012
01:05:39,500 --> 01:05:42,700
where you're supposed to and
gadgets on sweeps on screens,
1013
01:05:42,700 --> 01:05:50,000
letting him run some easy route.
Where the slot goddamn?
1014
01:06:18,500 --> 01:06:21,800
And essentially it made them
have to adjust their safeties,
1015
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,200
which supported the Run game
strong, which for the downfield,
1016
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,400
passing him stronger.
We would like to brief you have
1017
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:31,900
the rotation right, where it's
juicing Holston and I'm still
1018
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:34,400
trying to figure out why Marco
leading get as much play because
1019
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,200
that couple times we saw him run
the ball.
1020
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:37,800
Good law.
And it looks like you want to
1021
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,600
run through somebody Hamma
Hamma.
1022
01:06:40,900 --> 01:06:45,000
I mean, any, when you sit there
and you and it keeps going back,
1023
01:06:45,100 --> 01:06:49,100
because There's a new running
backs coaches and you wide
1024
01:06:49,100 --> 01:06:54,100
receivers coach.
And then there's Brad because
1025
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:57,400
tight ends and offensive line.
We've always said they're doing
1026
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,700
a sufficient enough job to keep
their jobs.
1027
01:06:59,900 --> 01:07:01,500
Yeah, you kept.
You lost one.
1028
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:03,100
Alabama, can't do anything about
that.
1029
01:07:03,100 --> 01:07:07,300
The other you're fired because
of like a production and you
1030
01:07:07,308 --> 01:07:11,300
have Brad who not the best
recruiter.
1031
01:07:12,900 --> 01:07:14,500
Clearing out the blood spray
color.
1032
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,500
Good play designer, but that's,
you know, that's it.
1033
01:07:19,300 --> 01:07:22,000
And it's just that thing with
him.
1034
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:27,500
It's just, you'd want to see
some growth, right?
1035
01:07:27,500 --> 01:07:30,300
We'll see some growth and I
think that's where we are with
1036
01:07:30,300 --> 01:07:31,900
him.
It's like, we get five years in
1037
01:07:31,900 --> 01:07:33,800
and it's just like, he's doing
the same shit.
1038
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,500
He did at the beginning that
didn't work.
1039
01:07:35,900 --> 01:07:37,900
Why do you keep doing it?
Yeah.
1040
01:07:37,900 --> 01:07:40,900
And I mean, I'm gonna go back to
your point a little bit there.
1041
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:46,600
We're talking about the wide
receiver production and so one
1042
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,200
of two things is happening,
right?
1043
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:55,800
So either the wide receivers are
not the the second line weren't
1044
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,000
doing enough at the beginning of
the season to justify up snap
1045
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:04,000
counts and up targets well, or
they were doing enough and
1046
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,500
weren't being given that
opportunity.
1047
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:14,100
So well, hold on, let's go back
to the beginning of 2019.
1048
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:19,500
He made the decision for Ryan
Willis He made the decision.
1049
01:08:19,700 --> 01:08:23,100
Yes.
And you say what you will?
1050
01:08:23,100 --> 01:08:26,000
You feel like if this is a
structure, Justin Fuente, the
1051
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,600
president Virginia Tech
football, J, Hamm and corn or
1052
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,500
his vp's on each side of the
ball.
1053
01:08:32,500 --> 01:08:35,700
They can be given direction to
say they're ready.
1054
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,100
I'd like to run on these
packages and what can they?
1055
01:08:38,100 --> 01:08:44,200
I'm sure they can veto it right.
Yeah, I'm sure as Hammond
1056
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,399
Sydney.
Now, Marty Raney offense, but
1057
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:51,000
I'm sure there were times where
he that Euro line coach would
1058
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:52,800
say, hey, can we let's run this
play?
1059
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:58,100
Marty be like, no, it's just
walk away and just like Boys.
1060
01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:02,399
I wonder if there were times but
I would say that was a big
1061
01:09:02,399 --> 01:09:07,300
situation or maybe because my
offensive line coach was six
1062
01:09:07,300 --> 01:09:12,300
foot six 340 pounds in played
under Joe pod, Penn State.
1063
01:09:12,300 --> 01:09:17,200
So he wasn't the guy that you
always want to say no to.
1064
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,600
But yeah, yeah he would
definitely over.
1065
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:26,000
Overrule him for sure and Like I
said, the big thing is that when
1066
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,300
we talk about core Nelson and
that wide receiver situation.
1067
01:09:28,300 --> 01:09:31,399
So if either of those things are
true either, you're not doing a
1068
01:09:31,399 --> 01:09:34,600
good job of getting your number,
your second line, guys the ball
1069
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:39,899
when they're on the field or
you're not recognizing a flaw
1070
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,000
and seeing a potential solution
in Black sheared, at least
1071
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,000
increase the depth at that
position and moving him to that
1072
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,800
position full-time.
Trip.
1073
01:09:51,399 --> 01:09:55,700
So I mean if you're saying those
guys aren't getting it done,
1074
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,300
you've got tape of a guy getting
it done.
1075
01:09:59,500 --> 01:10:03,300
Under a, what you would consider
an inferior staff because they
1076
01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:09,600
got fired from fucking Rutgers.
Let's be honest here.
1077
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:14,000
I mean, put chips on the table,
it's a travesty that they didn't
1078
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:18,100
get that guy more touches in the
passing game from a traditional
1079
01:10:18,100 --> 01:10:20,400
wide receiver position.
You know what?
1080
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:24,500
I keep watching this and I know
about the Smiths a special
1081
01:10:24,500 --> 01:10:27,900
player, but how many times have
they just ran a heart inside?
1082
01:10:27,900 --> 01:10:29,400
Slant from the slot with him?
Him.
1083
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:34,300
And you feel like you see
Blackshear shiftiness and you
1084
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:37,000
say, he can run that for yard
slant.
1085
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,700
Yeah, now, I got to say this
Ohio, they've ran it like six
1086
01:10:40,700 --> 01:10:44,600
times Ohio state has failed to
adjust to it, like me to change,
1087
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,400
leverage with your gal.
He's in the slot, we can go
1088
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:48,400
deep.
I don't care.
1089
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,900
If he can go to, he freed me
with the freaking slant.
1090
01:10:50,900 --> 01:10:52,700
Every time.
Make him beat.
1091
01:10:52,700 --> 01:10:56,400
You deep once at least.
All right, let's let me Focus
1092
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,100
back on what we're doing here.
All right.
1093
01:10:58,100 --> 01:11:04,100
Last but not least, Braun.
Head ball, coach, Justin, Fuente
1094
01:11:05,300 --> 01:11:09,400
me and Brian said he discussed
this for a little while and
1095
01:11:09,500 --> 01:11:15,000
there was no possible way that
we could give him a grade above
1096
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:23,400
combined D.
Yeah, I wouldn't be plus and a
1097
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,700
lot of my stuff it's not so much
the season.
1098
01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:30,800
The season is what it is.
There were several Real times
1099
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,900
you could tell with the overall
game plan was I feel like that's
1100
01:11:33,900 --> 01:11:37,700
him with an overall game plan?
That were very good.
1101
01:11:37,700 --> 01:11:40,400
It made sense.
I'm still convinced.
1102
01:11:40,700 --> 01:11:46,600
Still convinced he called in Sea
State, I feel like me and you
1103
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:51,300
can should go back and watch
that game one day because that
1104
01:11:51,300 --> 01:11:53,900
game felt different than any
other game.
1105
01:11:53,900 --> 01:11:57,800
We played this year and they
work that game highlighted are
1106
01:11:58,500 --> 01:12:01,300
very good elements of our
offense and In hid the bad
1107
01:12:01,300 --> 01:12:04,100
elements of our offense and I
still think that was him calling
1108
01:12:04,100 --> 01:12:08,000
because remember the rumors flew
that week, that corn had had
1109
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,300
covid, he was going to be back,
but he was going to be back late
1110
01:12:11,300 --> 01:12:14,000
in the week.
Essentially a play where he
1111
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,500
can't do play calls because he's
not there to install.
1112
01:12:16,500 --> 01:12:23,000
The rumors flew, never confirmed
or denied what the way that game
1113
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:28,000
was called but the way every
single game after that was
1114
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,800
called was completely different.
He gets the D for me or the D
1115
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,300
Plus for me for what happened in
the last month.
1116
01:12:37,300 --> 01:12:39,500
You just came off a five and six
season.
1117
01:12:40,500 --> 01:12:42,400
You had it all you guys on
defense.
1118
01:12:43,100 --> 01:12:45,000
You want to fire some of them go
for it.
1119
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,400
That's your decision.
Most people are going to hammer
1120
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,800
you on that because they didn't
have an offseason.
1121
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:55,700
You have to position groups,
we've mentioned before, pie,
1122
01:12:55,700 --> 01:12:58,600
tins and offensive line.
It feels like from day, one have
1123
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,900
always produced have always been
solid, you fry, two running
1124
01:13:01,900 --> 01:13:05,500
backs coach and that went up.
You have a wide receiver coach
1125
01:13:05,500 --> 01:13:08,700
in his second year.
Whose two best players are
1126
01:13:08,700 --> 01:13:10,700
consistently producing at a good
level.
1127
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:16,200
There's one consistent and you
won't fire him, and he should be
1128
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,600
fired.
And if you even if you don't
1129
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:23,700
fire him, demote him or bring on
somebody else to take over the
1130
01:13:23,700 --> 01:13:25,800
play calling.
And even if he keeps his
1131
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,100
offensive coordinator job,
bringing in, like a, some sort
1132
01:13:30,100 --> 01:13:34,200
of game coordinator to just
handle the play, calling you
1133
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:39,800
whatever it is like, look in the
mirror, self-evaluate figure out
1134
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:44,400
where the deficiencies are and
at least put a fucking Band-Aid
1135
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,000
on them.
Even if you don't go in there
1136
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:51,000
and you know, Stitch it up, like
do something.
1137
01:13:51,700 --> 01:13:56,200
Not, we're rolling.
No, we're Nolan guys.
1138
01:13:57,100 --> 01:14:00,000
We are rolling on.
We just lost six games.
1139
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,500
We were sub 500, we lost a
liberty.
1140
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:07,600
We got blown out by pit.
No, we are not rolling, we're
1141
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:12,000
not fucking rolling sputtering.
Yeah, I mean, we're all getting
1142
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:16,600
by if you're cool getting by
that, do you, but that's not
1143
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:18,900
what we want.
And that's why we were calling
1144
01:14:18,900 --> 01:14:24,400
for your head this off season.
And here's the thing, and I
1145
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:27,700
think this is this is probably
me and you and more level-headed
1146
01:14:27,700 --> 01:14:30,800
fans.
We want you to succeed next
1147
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:32,900
year.
Yeah, we do.
1148
01:14:34,100 --> 01:14:40,300
But when this I'm not going to
say when, but if the same shit
1149
01:14:40,300 --> 01:14:45,000
starts happening, which we
assume it is your, you you need
1150
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,200
to be gone.
We are it's going to get more
1151
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,200
and more vocal.
It's going to be more and more
1152
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:53,400
seen because my assumption is
the way they're saying it.
1153
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,800
That what are they saying by
July?
1154
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,900
Every person in Virginia could
have taken the vaccine.
1155
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,700
Every person in Virginia will
have had the opportunity to take
1156
01:15:04,700 --> 01:15:09,700
the vaccine.
So would you hear that me?
1157
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:13,000
You know, you assume that there
it's going to be stains going to
1158
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,200
be open the opportunity to take
the vaccines there.
1159
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,700
The treatments are better.
We know more and more.
1160
01:15:17,700 --> 01:15:20,300
What this thing targets who it
doesn't Target.
1161
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,200
We know how to protect ourselves
yada yada, right?
1162
01:15:23,500 --> 01:15:26,900
Yep.
If it starts talking bad.
1163
01:15:27,100 --> 01:15:30,700
Add the stadium is going to look
bad and eventually people are
1164
01:15:30,700 --> 01:15:32,800
going to they're going to call
for your head, the Bayou.
1165
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,500
It's going to be a hell of a lot
lower next year.
1166
01:15:36,100 --> 01:15:40,800
Hell of a lot lower and you will
assume with all the cuts that
1167
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,900
have been made and everything
your heads there.
1168
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:48,800
So this is my advice, a pray.
You don't have to play a card
1169
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:54,400
team on Labor Day, but if your
boy cruise around and is doing
1170
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,600
bad things, you better you
better.
1171
01:15:57,100 --> 01:15:58,900
You said Brian.
Look in the mirror quickly.
1172
01:15:58,900 --> 01:16:04,000
Take the accountability and set
your done cut it because it is
1173
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,800
your job and is going to be
gone.
1174
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,400
Yep.
And I'll say that, I'll be the
1175
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,100
bad thing.
Is that, I mean, it's going to
1176
01:16:12,100 --> 01:16:18,600
be very hard for them to do
something different without
1177
01:16:18,900 --> 01:16:22,900
firing cornelison at some point
because, yeah, you know, we're
1178
01:16:22,900 --> 01:16:26,300
talking about the budget cuts in
the athletic department, this,
1179
01:16:26,300 --> 01:16:31,400
that and the third, Third.
And what is available to funds
1180
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:33,900
for the support staff?
I mean, even if you want to
1181
01:16:33,900 --> 01:16:37,700
bring in like a quality guy on
offense to essentially do what
1182
01:16:37,700 --> 01:16:39,300
kill did.
I mean at that point that's
1183
01:16:39,300 --> 01:16:43,900
that's a hard ask for an
athletic department that's, you
1184
01:16:43,900 --> 01:16:47,900
know, cutting salaries across
the board had to fire a bunch of
1185
01:16:47,900 --> 01:16:49,700
people in some of the lower
positions.
1186
01:16:49,700 --> 01:16:55,200
I mean, it's going to be
something where You know, you're
1187
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,400
still going to be dealing with
the Optics of the situation to
1188
01:16:58,400 --> 01:16:59,800
make to put the product on the
field.
1189
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:03,300
You want with this coaching
staff versus at least getting
1190
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,600
some Goodwill, some extra
donations.
1191
01:17:06,700 --> 01:17:10,200
All of the things that come with
bringing in a head coach that
1192
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,200
can reinvigorate the program at
the right time.
1193
01:17:13,900 --> 01:17:18,100
Exactly.
And well again we want them to
1194
01:17:18,100 --> 01:17:21,000
succeed and again we have said
it in the past.
1195
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:27,000
We feel like if things If things
were constructed correctly on
1196
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:32,100
the staff, certain people doing
certain things differently.
1197
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:38,900
I'm not saying the mid-January
game is attainable at the
1198
01:17:38,900 --> 01:17:41,800
moment.
But I think your sixth
1199
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:44,400
attainable I think winning the
coastal is attainable.
1200
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,400
Certainly, what do you cope
Coastal should be attainable?
1201
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:52,600
Just based on the fact that we
are fucking Virginia Tech and we
1202
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,800
play in the coastal.
Sure.
1203
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:59,500
I mean, if we get past UNC in
Miami, were Coastal Champions.
1204
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:04,700
You should be able to every year
split that if not when both not
1205
01:18:04,700 --> 01:18:07,500
win.
Both if not when both and then
1206
01:18:07,500 --> 01:18:10,600
me and you've talked about in
the past, with the scheme, we We
1207
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,700
run we show that we can score
points or points on these guys.
1208
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,900
We feel now more consistently
with what we're going to do.
1209
01:18:16,900 --> 01:18:21,100
Defensively the defensive side
against certain offenses,
1210
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:27,000
especially against the Miami's.
The North Carolina type offenses
1211
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:30,900
that they're running right now.
We're going to get better.
1212
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:35,900
Yeah, it's two people got D's on
our report.
1213
01:18:36,100 --> 01:18:37,900
Well, with the exception, Tracy
claeys.
1214
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:42,000
I still think the Tracy things
and having covid the other two
1215
01:18:42,008 --> 01:18:47,800
guys have been here.
But 12 guys have been on the
1216
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:52,300
staff, this whole time, one guy
in and administer in more of a
1217
01:18:52,300 --> 01:18:59,500
own field product rule.
If you Justin Fuente.
1218
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,600
Is literally his Ace in the
Hole.
1219
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:10,400
Going to be Let's say we start
to into, and when I say that by
1220
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:15,300
starting to into we play UNC
dopin, we lose them.
1221
01:19:15,300 --> 01:19:17,000
But we beat Middle, Tennessee
would lose to West.
1222
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,300
Virginia would lose the black
down Trophy and we lose and we
1223
01:19:19,300 --> 01:19:22,900
beat Richmond.
We're where we were at the Duke
1224
01:19:22,900 --> 01:19:29,100
game.
Is the only thing that would you
1225
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:34,200
do if he at that right then and
there firebreak or Nielsen and
1226
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,000
we played significantly better
the rest of your I'm offense.
1227
01:19:38,700 --> 01:19:40,700
Would you let him come back?
Or it's like nope, you waited
1228
01:19:40,700 --> 01:19:46,200
too long, fuck you.
I mean, yeah.
1229
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,100
So which one is?
It is it?
1230
01:19:49,100 --> 01:19:51,300
You waited too long or we're
going to let you stay.
1231
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,800
That's a you waited too long.
Okay.
1232
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,100
You waited too long, fuck you
should have got rid of them last
1233
01:19:56,100 --> 01:19:59,700
year he was never that good.
Yeah.
1234
01:20:00,500 --> 01:20:02,200
All right.
Real quick.
1235
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:06,800
Before we wrap up here tonight
guys, bold pick x-brawn, you
1236
01:20:06,808 --> 01:20:09,100
went five and four six and three
over here.
1237
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:14,000
I beat you by a game, Ohio state
held to a field goal.
1238
01:20:14,100 --> 01:20:17,800
Just got inside, the 20 yard
line with 703 in the third.
1239
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:19,500
Is there anything else breaking
Braun?
1240
01:20:19,500 --> 01:20:22,300
Did we get any other commits?
Anything else?
1241
01:20:22,300 --> 01:20:24,900
Interesting happen.
I'm not see anything popping up.
1242
01:20:24,900 --> 01:20:28,400
I'm looking back through real
quick just to see if anything
1243
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:29,900
jumps out.
And I think we're good, man.
1244
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:34,100
All right.
Well, folks, that is going to be
1245
01:20:36,100 --> 01:20:38,800
