This week we're all riding high after the Hokies took care of business at home against Pitt. We look at what changed for this Hokies team that played arguably its best four quarters of the Pry era. We turn the page quick as we get to Know the Enemy ahead of the Hokies trip down to Tallahassee to face the Seminoles. We wrap up as always with our Big Screener picks of the week.
1
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:53,550
Defense 12th in the country in
total defense.
2
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:55,710
Fewer than 300 yards allowed per
game.
3
00:00:56,230 --> 00:01:00,110
Drones takes a deep shot looking
for Take One Belton.
4
00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:11,910
For a touchdown. 54 yards.
This one's not contested because
5
00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:15,350
he just uses his speed, just
runs a straight goal out, and
6
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:18,270
then it is a beautiful ball by
Kyron.
7
00:01:18,270 --> 00:01:22,550
Drones couldn't hand it to him
any better, and Virginia Tech is
8
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:26,110
off to a good start.
And welcome back to Deep
9
00:01:26,110 --> 00:01:29,390
Boundary Corner Podcast with my
partners, Brian Sigler.
10
00:01:29,850 --> 00:01:32,250
Jonathan, Tally and Shelton
Malls, I'm Curtis Wilson.
11
00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:35,410
In this episode is brought to
you by Doctor Jeremy Counts down
12
00:01:35,410 --> 00:01:37,490
at the Main Street Pharmacy in
Blacksburg.
13
00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:41,810
Your friendly neighborhood
pharmacy located at 301 S Main
14
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:45,450
St. in it right here at the top.
We we had a show that because we
15
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:48,370
ain't had much to curl about in
the first quarter of many games
16
00:01:48,370 --> 00:01:51,290
this year.
But first possession, what third
17
00:01:51,290 --> 00:01:54,170
play of the game, a bomb
happens.
18
00:01:54,810 --> 00:01:57,450
Didn't see that one coming up.
Top.
19
00:01:57,930 --> 00:02:01,030
I will take it.
All day long.
20
00:02:01,070 --> 00:02:04,350
We we hadn't seen a lot of deep
stuff in a in a few games there,
21
00:02:04,350 --> 00:02:09,350
so it's nice to see us hit that
big one, really get off to a
22
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:13,790
good start, put their backs
against the wall a little bit.
23
00:02:14,910 --> 00:02:16,990
It always likes to do that at
home when you got the crowd
24
00:02:16,990 --> 00:02:19,550
behind you.
Well, after after taking them
25
00:02:19,550 --> 00:02:22,710
three and out and doing that, it
was just like that the the
26
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:26,670
crowd, which was already just
absolutely insane on the
27
00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:30,270
whiteout Saturday night.
Just took it to another level.
28
00:02:30,270 --> 00:02:34,190
The place was never quiet so we
got a lot to talk about on a
29
00:02:34,190 --> 00:02:37,110
3821.
It is a tell the truth Tuesday.
30
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:38,830
We're going to tell a lot of
good truths tonight.
31
00:02:38,830 --> 00:02:42,070
Not a lot of the and some bads
but mostly good.
32
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:45,710
But you know want to tell real
quick rally to Robbie this week
33
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:48,110
not at home.
Check out the pharmacy. 7 bucks
34
00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:51,030
at Venmo got with Grayson.
They will be back in a Lot 1
35
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:53,030
next week for the Homecoming
Wake Forest game.
36
00:02:53,420 --> 00:02:57,020
So check that out.
And before we get into the big
37
00:02:57,020 --> 00:02:59,700
stuff, let's talk about the
commit.
38
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:03,340
Did y'all see the basketball
commit yesterday?
39
00:03:03,340 --> 00:03:05,660
It.
Was a pretty big one.
40
00:03:06,420 --> 00:03:07,820
Big time.
Big time.
41
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:10,140
So Shelton, I don't know how
much you got on him, but it's
42
00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:13,780
Ryan Jones, A6 foot eight
center, 225 out of Gainesville,
43
00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:18,260
FL.
He is a composite 97.
44
00:03:18,260 --> 00:03:21,940
He is a high four-star.
He is a top 70 player in the
45
00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:24,460
country.
I think I read correct me if I'm
46
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:27,500
wrong, Shelton, the fourth
highest rated player of all time
47
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,660
that has come to Tech.
That is correct fourth highest
48
00:03:30,660 --> 00:03:32,860
rated player of all time and six
foot eight.
49
00:03:32,860 --> 00:03:34,820
You could play them at power for
you, play them at center
50
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,700
obviously pretty versatile and
kind of fits the the Mike Young
51
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:39,540
bolt of a big man.
So it's a bit, it's a big time
52
00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:42,190
pickup for sure.
Definitely big time pick up.
53
00:03:42,190 --> 00:03:45,510
And then looking at the offer
list here, I mean he wasn't
54
00:03:45,510 --> 00:03:47,190
short.
He had a lot of interest from a
55
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:49,830
lot of different schools.
Effectively the Hokies beat out
56
00:03:50,950 --> 00:03:54,510
the Gators down there, which you
know goes our way this time for
57
00:03:54,510 --> 00:03:57,670
once about a kid wanting to get
away from home right in
58
00:03:57,670 --> 00:04:01,350
basketball.
So it's a good thing for
59
00:04:01,350 --> 00:04:03,750
basketball, but I wanted to hit
that real quick because we are
60
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:07,510
etching every day of the season.
If none of y'all follow, what's
61
00:04:07,510 --> 00:04:09,190
his name?
John.
62
00:04:11,630 --> 00:04:14,390
John Rothstein Every morning I
wake up at fools counting down
63
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:18,510
the clock to basketball season's
almost here and that's something
64
00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:22,150
we'll be taking a look at in the
Next up this upcoming month
65
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:26,190
taking some basketball stuff.
One other news and note guys, if
66
00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:29,790
you didn't see this, Evan
Watkins over 247 put this out
67
00:04:29,790 --> 00:04:35,150
and I know they were close.
Aiden Green, Braylon Johnson,
68
00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:41,200
Dante Lovett, Moose Phillips.
And Caleb Woodson, the Red
69
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,800
Church are gone.
They got a choice.
70
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,760
No choice.
Man got to.
71
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,920
You got to and and also The
thing is with those guys and
72
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,480
they're playing good roles like
Green's got a couple catches to
73
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,880
be a freshman.
Johnson, Lovett.
74
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,120
Lovett's playing I think every
special team snap.
75
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:04,880
So any any, any feelings on this
or you know, Tally said it had
76
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,440
to have Brian.
Any feelings on this?
77
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,840
I mean, the big thing for me was
talking about green.
78
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:10,770
You know, we are.
We talked about the beginning of
79
00:05:10,770 --> 00:05:12,450
the season.
He was going to be that kind of
80
00:05:12,450 --> 00:05:16,130
5-6 roll in the wide receiver
room and we're seeing Green kind
81
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:19,090
of etch that that roll out for
himself there.
82
00:05:20,450 --> 00:05:23,530
The others are just we needed
the depth and that's where they
83
00:05:23,530 --> 00:05:24,770
are.
And I mean some of them would
84
00:05:24,770 --> 00:05:28,450
play well in its spots.
I'd say especially Phillips is
85
00:05:28,450 --> 00:05:30,730
coming along and you know,
Woodson's out there getting a
86
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:34,090
lot of run and obviously Johnson
and Lovett have been kind of
87
00:05:34,570 --> 00:05:36,770
filling in at cornerback when we
need him in there and
88
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:40,910
occasionally jumping back to.
To safety when we got thin
89
00:05:40,910 --> 00:05:42,190
there.
So I mean it's just been
90
00:05:42,270 --> 00:05:45,110
necessity on the defensive side,
but good to see a guy like Green
91
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:49,350
kind of take that that jump into
the that five and six roll in
92
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:52,670
the wide receiver room.
Shown any thoughts on any of
93
00:05:52,670 --> 00:05:55,950
these guys you know?
Is there one maybe of the bunch
94
00:05:55,950 --> 00:05:59,070
you've noticed with data
statistics to say wish we could
95
00:05:59,070 --> 00:06:02,230
have held it, not burning him?
No.
96
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:04,630
I mean, I think it's just it's
kind of hard to judge with young
97
00:06:04,630 --> 00:06:08,550
guys because you don't, first of
all, you don't have the sample
98
00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:10,110
size, really to make an accurate
judgment.
99
00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:12,230
You just don't know how they're
gonna, how they're gonna project
100
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:15,150
in the future.
So I tend to trust coaches with
101
00:06:15,150 --> 00:06:17,710
red shirt decisions, You know,
it's not, it's not my place.
102
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:18,710
They assume every day in
practice.
103
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:21,670
So, you know, it's whatever they
decide I'm cool with.
104
00:06:22,350 --> 00:06:25,070
Yeah, yeah, we are not the full
TSL.
105
00:06:25,070 --> 00:06:26,630
Chris Coleman, red shirt,
everybody.
106
00:06:27,130 --> 00:06:29,890
Because in some situations, you
know they're going to be County
107
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:33,450
Jenkins as a senior you had to
get Woodson or whoever won that
108
00:06:33,450 --> 00:06:36,930
between Woodson and I cannot
think of the other kids name
109
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:41,890
from down in Petersburg Cottman.
You know they were one of the
110
00:06:41,890 --> 00:06:42,970
women get a ton of run this
year.
111
00:06:42,970 --> 00:06:44,890
You just knew it was going to
happen just because it had to
112
00:06:44,890 --> 00:06:46,850
happen.
And then with the depth at
113
00:06:46,850 --> 00:06:50,690
cornerback, we said it, you
know, six weeks ago, like these
114
00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:53,050
guys are going to get run like
they're probably not going to be
115
00:06:53,170 --> 00:06:55,410
a red shirt for them.
And then they played pretty
116
00:06:55,410 --> 00:06:57,970
good, so.
You know they're gone.
117
00:06:57,970 --> 00:07:00,530
I don't know who's the next one
to be gone, but there probably
118
00:07:00,530 --> 00:07:02,690
is going to be a few more burn
before the end of the season.
119
00:07:02,690 --> 00:07:05,290
So we shall see.
All right, well, let's get to
120
00:07:05,290 --> 00:07:07,170
it.
Let's tell the truth Tuesday
121
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:12,170
again. 3821 win for the Hokies
against the Pitt Panthers.
122
00:07:12,410 --> 00:07:15,890
The Pitt Panthers that came in
with the 12th ranked defense in
123
00:07:15,890 --> 00:07:17,730
the country.
Total defense in the country,
124
00:07:17,730 --> 00:07:22,130
which was kind of, you know, St.
They gave up.
125
00:07:22,410 --> 00:07:25,250
They gave up less yards to UNC
than they did us.
126
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,160
I don't know.
That's crazy all.
127
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Right, but what went well, I'm
going to start this off because
128
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,480
watching Lane Stadium Saturday
night, she was mean.
129
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,800
She was loud.
It was intimidating.
130
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,360
They had multiple false starts.
You could tell that stadium was
131
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,760
in the head.
And it did not quiet the entire
132
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,360
game, even after big plays kept
being loud, kept disturbing
133
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,240
them.
And it's like that.
134
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,710
It's that throwback, right?
Like we always see it loud, but
135
00:07:55,310 --> 00:07:58,110
that's Saturday night she was
she's nasty.
136
00:08:01,070 --> 00:08:05,550
It was loud, very loud you know
seen it on the on the shots it
137
00:08:05,550 --> 00:08:09,350
looked like, I like the white
out looked better than I've seen
138
00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:11,710
it look anytime we've had the
white out.
139
00:08:11,710 --> 00:08:16,190
So kudos to the fans for for
really leaning into that and
140
00:08:16,190 --> 00:08:18,550
getting that to to look pretty
incredible out there.
141
00:08:20,590 --> 00:08:24,960
But yeah, I mean, I thought the.
The atmosphere was great.
142
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,640
We looked at at what they were
able to do in the field of the
143
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,520
commitment to the running game,
getting drones in the running
144
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,559
game, but just leaning on the
running game.
145
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,480
We saw them kind of get a little
bit of momentum last week, went
146
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,559
away from it, came back late,
hit it early and often.
147
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,040
This week we're able to sprinkle
some big plays in there that we
148
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,640
hadn't seen before.
So I think, you know, looking at
149
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,200
that, those are two big things
that I didn't expect against
150
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,880
this pit defense.
Me either.
151
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,400
Tally.
Tally, I had a quick question
152
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,120
for you.
You know how many times we ran
153
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,000
the ball Saturday night?
Man, I don't know.
154
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:07,560
Probably what, 65?
Close 5959 at 3.4 carry.
155
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,720
And you'd have told if you'd
have told any of us that we do
156
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,920
that against any defense that
we're playing, especially
157
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,200
probably that first game,
especially Pitt, we had said
158
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,080
you'd lying.
You know he's just.
159
00:09:21,070 --> 00:09:23,990
Basshell Tootin is is just, he's
a man.
160
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:28,470
He was, he was tired man.
You can tell he was sucking win.
161
00:09:29,270 --> 00:09:33,310
He was punishing people after
runs but he continued to do it.
162
00:09:33,310 --> 00:09:36,670
He go on the sideline, he get
him a little water, he get back
163
00:09:36,670 --> 00:09:40,270
in like it was.
It was good to see, you know it
164
00:09:40,270 --> 00:09:45,350
takes us to the next point where
Tyler Bowen caught a pretty good
165
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:47,470
game, man.
Like his play designs.
166
00:09:48,770 --> 00:09:51,770
The play calls were actually
pretty spot on.
167
00:09:52,170 --> 00:09:55,170
You know, all of us watching the
game, a lot of times you're
168
00:09:55,170 --> 00:09:57,290
like, why are we running up the
middle so much?
169
00:09:57,370 --> 00:10:00,410
Why are we doing this so much?
I mean he he got people on the
170
00:10:00,410 --> 00:10:04,130
outside.
He moved the pocket for drones,
171
00:10:04,130 --> 00:10:07,810
You know, he called the right
quarterback draws at the right
172
00:10:07,810 --> 00:10:10,410
time.
Like it was just the play
173
00:10:10,410 --> 00:10:13,130
designs man.
He he did kudos to him.
174
00:10:13,130 --> 00:10:17,090
I think he was a ACC coordinator
of the of the wheat.
175
00:10:19,420 --> 00:10:22,020
I was well deserved, man,
because, I mean going into that
176
00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:24,740
game, you know, the ACC Network
is there.
177
00:10:24,740 --> 00:10:27,620
Everybody loves Lane Stadium,
everybody loves the atmosphere.
178
00:10:28,060 --> 00:10:33,500
But I can say nobody expected
what they seen on that field
179
00:10:33,780 --> 00:10:35,780
Saturday night.
I know I didn't.
180
00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:37,980
I don't think any of the
commentators did.
181
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:40,420
I don't think any of y'all did
what you say, Curtis.
182
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:42,660
We definitely didn't.
None of us did.
183
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:45,740
I mean, we were effectively.
It was one of those nobody in
184
00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:48,810
this room.
Nor our guest last week picked
185
00:10:48,810 --> 00:10:51,010
the Oakies to win.
We all had it close.
186
00:10:51,570 --> 00:10:53,570
We all had it close.
But.
187
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:55,370
No, you got to go back.
Mike did.
188
00:10:55,570 --> 00:10:58,530
Remember Mike, Daniel did.
He said.
189
00:10:58,610 --> 00:11:00,770
He said this is going to be the
week that we're going to put it
190
00:11:00,770 --> 00:11:02,930
all together and we're going to
get picked.
191
00:11:02,930 --> 00:11:05,290
And I said, ah, you're a liar.
It ain't happening.
192
00:11:06,170 --> 00:11:07,650
Mike did pick him to win,
though.
193
00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:11,050
All right, so shell, I'm going
to throw this to you man,
194
00:11:11,050 --> 00:11:12,650
because I think you got the data
there.
195
00:11:12,650 --> 00:11:14,370
If not, I know you can pull it
up pretty quick.
196
00:11:15,070 --> 00:11:19,550
How many explosive runs and
passes did we have on Saturday
197
00:11:19,550 --> 00:11:21,670
night?
Because it seemed like we were
198
00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:25,870
getting multiple 1/4.
We did, yes.
199
00:11:25,870 --> 00:11:28,950
I'm pulling up A1 SEC.
Also, just to another note about
200
00:11:28,950 --> 00:11:31,790
the number of plays you ran,
part of the reason that we ran
201
00:11:31,790 --> 00:11:33,870
so many times is because we had
the ball so long.
202
00:11:34,190 --> 00:11:37,870
I think we had, we had 78 plays
for reference that the average
203
00:11:37,870 --> 00:11:41,110
in a game is about 66.
So we're plus 12 in the average.
204
00:11:41,150 --> 00:11:43,750
And I think we had 32 more plays
run than Pitt did.
205
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:45,390
Wow.
So that kind of that kind of
206
00:11:45,390 --> 00:11:47,230
speaks to like how?
I'm actually dominant.
207
00:11:47,230 --> 00:11:49,030
That is crazy.
That is crazy.
208
00:11:49,230 --> 00:11:54,190
So yeah, so in terms of
explosive plays, actually we did
209
00:11:54,190 --> 00:11:58,830
not have a huge amount.
So I'm seeing 7% explosive play
210
00:11:58,830 --> 00:12:02,310
rate which is about kind of
around the 36 percentile.
211
00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:07,900
And then if you divide it up in
terms of run pass, he had four
212
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:10,060
big passing plays and then one
big rushing play.
213
00:12:10,060 --> 00:12:14,740
So it wasn't so much the
explosive plays as it was the I
214
00:12:14,740 --> 00:12:17,300
would say staying on schedule.
Tech had a really good success,
215
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:18,220
right?
Which I'm sure we can talk
216
00:12:18,220 --> 00:12:20,460
about, but they just they they
never got behind the sticks.
217
00:12:21,420 --> 00:12:23,580
Yeah, no, we didn't money down
conversions.
218
00:12:23,580 --> 00:12:25,860
We were 10 to 18.
That's over 50%.
219
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:28,500
You tell me.
We're 10 of 18 every here game
220
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:29,740
from here to the end of the
season.
221
00:12:29,740 --> 00:12:30,820
I will.
I will take it.
222
00:12:31,420 --> 00:12:33,780
I don't care.
I will take 10 of 18 every week
223
00:12:33,780 --> 00:12:37,390
on 3rd and 4th downs.
Because like you said, we
224
00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:40,070
sustain drives.
We sustain drives.
225
00:12:40,070 --> 00:12:41,710
And I know in a little while
here somebody's going to talk
226
00:12:41,710 --> 00:12:43,790
about TOP.
He's got the exact number.
227
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:47,470
But that was the impressive part
you talk about.
228
00:12:47,950 --> 00:12:50,870
You said 7%.
Well, heck, when you go 7% of 70
229
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:54,790
plays, that's about 6 big plays
and you're talking about one
230
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:57,710
right out the bat, which
immediately they it took them a
231
00:12:57,990 --> 00:13:00,910
it took them a while to start
bringing that safety back down
232
00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:03,310
into the box after they got
burned once, they did not.
233
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:06,590
Effectively they like to play
the guys up and it's like you
234
00:13:06,590 --> 00:13:09,030
get burned once over the top
because it was a if y'all.
235
00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:11,430
Remember that play was a go post
route.
236
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:15,670
The safety went with the post.
They Quan beat his man over the
237
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:17,710
top.
What are you supposed to do?
238
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:22,750
And the other thing, let's flip
to the other side on defense
239
00:13:22,750 --> 00:13:26,190
real quick.
Two for 11 on money downs for
240
00:13:26,190 --> 00:13:28,830
Pitt.
Would you love to see?
241
00:13:29,380 --> 00:13:32,780
411 what What would you see
Brian, with that?
242
00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:34,900
What?
What was going on with the stops
243
00:13:36,180 --> 00:13:38,620
that really made it successful
on Saturday night?
244
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:43,980
Getting in Jerkovic's ass on on
those third down plays.
245
00:13:44,140 --> 00:13:46,740
His new name, His new name is
Filthy Field.
246
00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:49,580
That's what we're calling him on
this show.
247
00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:53,540
I don't know what Lane Stadium
does to him, but Filthy Field
248
00:13:53,540 --> 00:13:57,220
does not react good when he's in
Lane Stadium.
249
00:13:57,730 --> 00:14:00,610
Talk about we talked about
Boeing getting a tight asshole
250
00:14:00,610 --> 00:14:05,010
last week in that in that second
and third quarter, every time
251
00:14:05,250 --> 00:14:07,930
Phil Jakovic lined up in Lane
Stadium, he's got a tight
252
00:14:07,930 --> 00:14:11,650
asshole.
It's like he forgets.
253
00:14:11,650 --> 00:14:13,250
I mean, he hasn't had it now
Great.
254
00:14:13,250 --> 00:14:15,970
He has not had a great year
playing quarterback in general,
255
00:14:16,410 --> 00:14:18,450
but he was in hell for four
quarters.
256
00:14:19,130 --> 00:14:21,490
He was.
He was.
257
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:25,810
And outside of two, outside of
two plays, he did nothing.
258
00:14:27,390 --> 00:14:29,430
He was so nervous.
If you go watch on the play
259
00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:32,590
where he pulled the ball, nobody
was around him.
260
00:14:32,950 --> 00:14:35,670
He was still scared, I think,
the commentator said.
261
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:37,790
He didn't even realize nobody
was around him.
262
00:14:37,790 --> 00:14:40,590
He hesitated like go watch that
play.
263
00:14:40,590 --> 00:14:42,390
He just he didn't want to take
off.
264
00:14:42,510 --> 00:14:43,830
I don't know what I mean was
but.
265
00:14:43,870 --> 00:14:45,510
You know, I talked, I talked a
little bit last week.
266
00:14:45,510 --> 00:14:48,110
I was like, if Phil plays, I
think he's still going to be a
267
00:14:48,110 --> 00:14:51,910
little bit gun shy and he looked
a little bit gun shy out there.
268
00:14:52,430 --> 00:14:53,430
He looked a little bit gun.
Shy.
269
00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:56,110
And then he would talk his shit
like, you know, like, what are
270
00:14:56,110 --> 00:14:58,050
you doing, man?
Look at the scoreboard.
271
00:14:58,770 --> 00:15:01,530
Well, one thing I can say, you
know even on that clip that you
272
00:15:01,650 --> 00:15:06,170
that you showed at the beginning
and it wasn't just the
273
00:15:06,170 --> 00:15:08,250
quarterback, but the quarter.
It helps when it's the
274
00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:11,090
quarterback.
Like I don't want Dick heads on
275
00:15:11,090 --> 00:15:12,330
the.
Well, I do want Dick heads on
276
00:15:12,330 --> 00:15:15,690
the team.
You know you don't want people
277
00:15:15,690 --> 00:15:16,970
to do that the.
Right kind of Dick head.
278
00:15:17,050 --> 00:15:19,410
You don't want people to do
stupid stuff off the field,
279
00:15:19,610 --> 00:15:22,050
That's what I mean.
But when?
280
00:15:22,530 --> 00:15:27,010
When drones hit, that touchdown
hit felt over the top.
281
00:15:27,290 --> 00:15:29,050
You saw all the way down the
field.
282
00:15:29,090 --> 00:15:31,850
First of all, he hit the
celebration, which is awesome.
283
00:15:32,410 --> 00:15:33,770
This is football.
Have fun.
284
00:15:34,370 --> 00:15:37,930
He is passing people that he's
going to have to hit all night.
285
00:15:38,490 --> 00:15:40,810
Ryman, they're going to hit you
all night.
286
00:15:41,290 --> 00:15:44,130
He's talking, John.
He goes up to the cornerback.
287
00:15:44,130 --> 00:15:45,650
He's pointing at him.
We got you.
288
00:15:46,210 --> 00:15:48,730
You know, it just looks like
he's saying you got you got your
289
00:15:48,730 --> 00:15:50,130
eyes in the back field, we got
you.
290
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:53,020
And I was thinking.
This can go one or two ways
291
00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:57,020
because a team like Pitt is very
physical, mostly, you know, like
292
00:15:57,020 --> 00:15:58,380
that's what we're they're known
for.
293
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:03,660
But by the end of the game or
middle of the game, they're
294
00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:05,580
helping drones up.
They're tapping them on the
295
00:16:05,580 --> 00:16:08,300
helmet.
He was punishing people after
296
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:11,340
runs.
Like, it was crazy to see the
297
00:16:11,540 --> 00:16:14,820
attitude that we took on, like,
where's that be, You know what
298
00:16:14,820 --> 00:16:17,220
I'm saying?
Not just him Tooting, you know,
299
00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:20,190
Felton.
Everybody who was even the, even
300
00:16:20,190 --> 00:16:24,070
the lineman who weren't fucking
blocking good, had a a nasty
301
00:16:24,070 --> 00:16:26,110
attitude.
I'm all right with that.
302
00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:30,190
Dragging people, you know, you
got people getting in the pile.
303
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:31,990
When's the last time we pushed
the pile?
304
00:16:32,510 --> 00:16:34,990
I wait.
What do I always say, Curtis?
305
00:16:34,990 --> 00:16:37,070
If you go fuck up, fuck up full
speed.
306
00:16:37,230 --> 00:16:39,150
Man.
Fuck up full speed and hit.
307
00:16:39,190 --> 00:16:43,470
Somebody we're pushing the pile.
We we after trying to make
308
00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:46,470
something happen.
Like, just that attitude man
309
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:48,530
was.
Great to see, you know what I'm
310
00:16:48,530 --> 00:16:49,810
saying?
Because I've seen it on defense
311
00:16:49,810 --> 00:16:52,570
a little bit, You know, I've
seen some glimpses on defense.
312
00:16:52,570 --> 00:16:54,690
But offense is like, what are we
doing, man?
313
00:16:54,690 --> 00:16:56,490
We're going in places, We're
acting scared.
314
00:16:56,490 --> 00:17:00,410
But Saturday night, man, it was,
it was kudos to the fans.
315
00:17:00,410 --> 00:17:04,210
I think Alex said he was there.
Alex, I love you and fuck you
316
00:17:04,930 --> 00:17:07,690
because the game I went to was a
hurricane and we didn't get to
317
00:17:07,690 --> 00:17:11,890
see lane hopping like it was
when you, man.
318
00:17:12,050 --> 00:17:15,579
I know it was awesome to see.
Well yeah definitely also to see
319
00:17:15,579 --> 00:17:17,460
and it and it and it made a lot
of things talk.
320
00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:21,380
I mean it made a lot of like you
said that energy went through
321
00:17:21,619 --> 00:17:23,540
because one thing we had
mentioned was like let's get
322
00:17:23,540 --> 00:17:27,060
pressure on Jacoby sacking 4
times he got hit more.
323
00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:31,620
I mean it was all might they
were in the face and the biggest
324
00:17:31,620 --> 00:17:34,660
piece of that is somebody who I
didn't get to hear the interview
325
00:17:34,660 --> 00:17:37,860
today for Darius Payne's playing
like a madman right now.
326
00:17:38,420 --> 00:17:42,860
I mean his twitch and and coach
probably mentioned it today.
327
00:17:43,670 --> 00:17:47,870
How he comes off the ball when
it's snapped, he shoots that.
328
00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:50,870
I mean it.
It takes me back to the days I'm
329
00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:53,390
thinking here.
I always remember John Graves
330
00:17:53,390 --> 00:17:57,310
had a quick twitch like John
Graves was a truly a defensive
331
00:17:57,310 --> 00:18:01,350
man when he played down at
Meadowbrook, right, Meadowbrook.
332
00:18:01,350 --> 00:18:04,870
And then when he got up they put
him at D tackle like Corey
333
00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:07,750
Marshall.
Same way the 285 pounds, but
334
00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:11,750
they so quick and twitchy and we
were destroying them all night.
335
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,000
All night, Brian, let's talk,
let's talk about a few other
336
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,800
things.
What have we been struggling
337
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,560
with that showed no signs that
it was ever anything that bad?
338
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:29,200
When you get 38 rushing yards
total on a on, let's see how
339
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:37,200
2224 carries.
Say that again. 24 carries, 38
340
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,240
rushing yards.
That's not good, man.
341
00:18:39,610 --> 00:18:42,650
That's not good, but with, but
with what we've struggled with
342
00:18:42,770 --> 00:18:44,690
in the last few weeks, did it
shock you?
343
00:18:46,850 --> 00:18:50,570
It it, it was it definitely it
it peaked my eyebrows up a
344
00:18:50,570 --> 00:18:52,850
little bit.
I was like, all right, that's
345
00:18:54,050 --> 00:18:57,410
not expected, especially against
this team because as much as
346
00:18:57,410 --> 00:18:59,490
they've been struggling in the
past game, I figured that we
347
00:18:59,490 --> 00:19:03,010
would see them kind of lean on
the run a little bit and they
348
00:19:03,010 --> 00:19:04,930
weren't able to be able to get
really anything going.
349
00:19:05,970 --> 00:19:08,450
It's like, you know, we talked
about it last week.
350
00:19:08,450 --> 00:19:10,800
We talked about.
We got to get Mike back on him
351
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,840
and let him have his roundabout
run fits.
352
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,720
And you know Brian's talked
about tackling like it did not
353
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,240
rears ugly head except for one
play.
354
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,560
Well, which I'm sure we'll talk
about one play we seen no wrap
355
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:30,240
up shot out of a cannon that
gives the freaking running back
356
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,400
a boost to get to the end zone.
But other than that it's like
357
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,920
the run fits were better.
You know what I'm saying?
358
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,430
The.
The tackling was 10 times
359
00:19:40,430 --> 00:19:43,030
better.
Anytime you hold A-Team to 38
360
00:19:43,030 --> 00:19:47,030
yards and it's like you kind of
feel like at one point it was
361
00:19:47,030 --> 00:19:50,110
like we demoralized them, you
know what I'm saying?
362
00:19:50,110 --> 00:19:53,950
Like they fought for a little
bit, but they were so deflated,
363
00:19:53,950 --> 00:19:55,710
man.
And then you got some people
364
00:19:55,710 --> 00:19:57,230
say, well, such and such was
hurt.
365
00:19:57,550 --> 00:19:59,110
I don't give a fuck who was
hurt.
366
00:19:59,470 --> 00:20:01,830
They sent A-Team down here.
They played.
367
00:20:02,190 --> 00:20:05,710
I hate pit.
Last year they had fucking 6
368
00:20:05,710 --> 00:20:10,270
touchdowns and 320 yards rushing
by one player.
369
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:14,550
I don't care if they had Forrest
Gump before he got his braces
370
00:20:14,550 --> 00:20:19,110
off running, the ball hit.
Him and they did all night I
371
00:20:19,110 --> 00:20:21,030
mean and again you mentioned the
tackling.
372
00:20:21,670 --> 00:20:23,710
I don't know if you've got
anything on it Shell but I'll
373
00:20:23,710 --> 00:20:26,710
I'll ask him talking to it.
But it didn't seem like other
374
00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:28,550
than the one plane we're going
to talk about it in a second
375
00:20:28,590 --> 00:20:29,870
here.
I don't.
376
00:20:29,950 --> 00:20:32,550
I didn't foresee any missed
tackles like.
377
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,640
It was wrap up.
It was get down.
378
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,320
It was wrap up.
Stop.
379
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,720
Wait for the gang.
You get there and then they go
380
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,280
down.
It was gang tackling too, like
381
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,640
you said, gang tackling.
You've seen so many maroon
382
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,400
jerseys flying to the ball, you
know, besides just the first
383
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,920
guy.
Unless the first guy got him
384
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,720
down.
And then you had people coming,
385
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,800
like, you know, case in point,
who was it that got the Jacobic?
386
00:21:02,050 --> 00:21:06,090
Kendricks got into COVID and it
was so quick that he got to him
387
00:21:06,090 --> 00:21:09,810
and he thought he was down.
But you had and you had to watch
388
00:21:09,810 --> 00:21:11,130
it in.
Like I had to watch it a couple,
389
00:21:11,330 --> 00:21:12,650
Yeah.
I had to watch it in a couple of
390
00:21:12,650 --> 00:21:14,570
times.
He comes through and punches the
391
00:21:14,570 --> 00:21:20,250
ball out, you know, like and and
recovers the fumble, like that's
392
00:21:20,290 --> 00:21:21,810
that's part of being around the
ball.
393
00:21:21,810 --> 00:21:25,290
That's part of gang tackling.
So love to see it, man.
394
00:21:25,610 --> 00:21:27,970
Yeah, and I'll say this, I mean,
this is the first time I've
395
00:21:27,970 --> 00:21:31,040
really seen.
Us have that kind of identity on
396
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,760
both sides of the ball and in a
game for four quarters.
397
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,720
And I mean, I know it's easy to
say you've got an identity when
398
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,960
things are going well for you,
but we haven't really seen a
399
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,440
whole lot of that the last
couple years.
400
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,600
So it was good to see a game
where you felt like we were
401
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,920
playing to our strengths on both
sides of the ball.
402
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,240
All right, so Sheldon, give us
the number.
403
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,160
How many missed tackles Saturday
night?
404
00:21:55,290 --> 00:22:00,130
So per PFF, we had six total
miss tackles and our our overall
405
00:22:00,130 --> 00:22:03,450
tackle rate was around 83%.
So it's pretty solid.
406
00:22:03,770 --> 00:22:07,090
I think the national average is
probably around 20%.
407
00:22:07,090 --> 00:22:09,410
So we're definitely above above
the average.
408
00:22:10,010 --> 00:22:12,130
Very nice and that's what we
need to see.
409
00:22:12,130 --> 00:22:16,650
It's those continued steps up
and up and up because again, it
410
00:22:16,650 --> 00:22:19,050
ain't gonna be perfect.
We do have some flaws, but The
411
00:22:19,050 --> 00:22:22,810
thing is what I think, I think
as a fan base and probably us
412
00:22:22,810 --> 00:22:25,860
four, that makes us feel better.
Talking about the run fits and
413
00:22:25,860 --> 00:22:29,900
tackling, we know it was an
issue and it's like I know I'm
414
00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:32,740
not going to say it's solved
yet, but at least I know they
415
00:22:32,740 --> 00:22:35,980
are coaching to it and you saw
it in practice.
416
00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:40,500
Just like Tyler Bowen, we talked
about you know he processed it,
417
00:22:40,940 --> 00:22:43,740
you can't get away from the run.
We have to continue doing this.
418
00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:46,580
He didn't get away from it.
So it's they're learning from
419
00:22:46,580 --> 00:22:50,300
those mistakes that continued,
that were continuing to happen
420
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:52,860
and finally they self corrected,
which is always a good thing.
421
00:22:53,370 --> 00:22:54,970
All right.
We do have to talk about what
422
00:22:54,970 --> 00:22:58,650
went bad.
You know, we, we, we, we can
423
00:22:58,650 --> 00:23:01,930
sugarcoat it.
But Brian, where do you want to
424
00:23:01,930 --> 00:23:03,410
start with this?
What it was?
425
00:23:03,690 --> 00:23:05,290
That Saturday night.
Let's start.
426
00:23:05,290 --> 00:23:07,570
We always do the right side of
the offensive line.
427
00:23:10,210 --> 00:23:13,450
It was another subpar overall
performance.
428
00:23:14,730 --> 00:23:18,010
Probably the some of the other
guys on the other side of the
429
00:23:18,010 --> 00:23:21,170
ball had some of the better
games they played in their
430
00:23:21,170 --> 00:23:24,730
career specifically I'd say.
Kaden played really well.
431
00:23:24,970 --> 00:23:27,410
Xavier Chaplin probably played
the best game in his career.
432
00:23:27,770 --> 00:23:31,650
So you know when you have that
there, what's kind of going on
433
00:23:31,650 --> 00:23:34,290
the right side looks stands out
a little bit more, right?
434
00:23:34,290 --> 00:23:40,970
So not a good game from Parker.
Not, not, not as bad as it has
435
00:23:40,970 --> 00:23:45,010
been the last couple.
Probably Schick's worst game,
436
00:23:45,010 --> 00:23:47,490
especially in the run game that
that I've seen this year.
437
00:23:48,890 --> 00:23:52,370
So rough overall on that side.
Thankfully, it didn't end up.
438
00:23:52,810 --> 00:23:57,930
Having a big impact on the game
between what Tudon and Drones
439
00:23:57,930 --> 00:24:01,050
were able to do with some of the
misdirections, some of the
440
00:24:01,050 --> 00:24:03,170
broken tackles and making
something out of nothing.
441
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:07,090
Some of that kind of got glossed
over a little bit where where
442
00:24:07,090 --> 00:24:11,210
there was a a good play from
that wasn't really blocked that
443
00:24:11,210 --> 00:24:14,010
great right.
So you had, you had a few of
444
00:24:14,010 --> 00:24:18,890
those, but Zero had Bob the
Builder inhale all night.
445
00:24:20,050 --> 00:24:22,330
Even when he wasn't making
plays, he was in the backfield,
446
00:24:22,330 --> 00:24:25,450
he was grabbing people.
He was doing all types of shit.
447
00:24:25,610 --> 00:24:29,450
Bob, I'm going to tell you, like
I told Parker, if you don't get
448
00:24:29,450 --> 00:24:33,650
it together, y'all too I'm on.
Since we won, I'm going to let
449
00:24:33,650 --> 00:24:34,890
you.
I'm going to let you live.
450
00:24:36,130 --> 00:24:38,730
You better get it together.
You better protect this
451
00:24:38,730 --> 00:24:39,970
quarterback in this running
back.
452
00:24:40,690 --> 00:24:44,410
So Sheldon, who was our highest
graded alignment in the case?
453
00:24:45,330 --> 00:24:48,490
It was definitely getting more.
I remember looking at the the
454
00:24:48,490 --> 00:24:51,440
grades.
I think it was around like 6063
455
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,840
or something.
He was really good in in fast
456
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,440
protection and pretty good and
and run blocking as well.
457
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,920
But I mean for the most part I
think the office of line was
458
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,800
pretty average to below average
outside of more.
459
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,960
I think the biggest, the biggest
reason for the success as you
460
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,880
guys saw was the the wide
receiver blocking in the
461
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,000
perimeter.
That's how you that's how they
462
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,640
set up all the the outside runs.
You can't.
463
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,320
You can't make those plays work
if you don't have good blocking
464
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,250
from the wide receivers.
But when you got a tight end
465
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:16,650
coach for a wide receiver coach,
you better.
466
00:25:16,690 --> 00:25:19,570
I got a feeling fine tail minds.
You don't block, you don't play
467
00:25:19,570 --> 00:25:22,490
for that man.
And just his face shows it too.
468
00:25:23,010 --> 00:25:25,930
On the other thing, on the
touch, Yeah, on the touchdown
469
00:25:25,930 --> 00:25:29,010
where Drones was dragging three
or four people in the end zone,
470
00:25:29,690 --> 00:25:33,850
the only person I've seen that,
like, really engaged and blocked
471
00:25:33,850 --> 00:25:37,090
was more.
If you go back and watch the
472
00:25:37,090 --> 00:25:39,890
play, you know, it just wasn't
nobody else there, you know?
473
00:25:39,890 --> 00:25:42,050
And the and the three or four
people that he was dragging in
474
00:25:42,050 --> 00:25:44,690
the end zone was the people that
were supposed to be blocked.
475
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:49,730
So you know, like.
Sometimes you get lucky.
476
00:25:49,930 --> 00:25:52,170
Partly got lucky.
His man took himself out of the
477
00:25:52,170 --> 00:25:54,570
play.
Chaplain's man kind of took
478
00:25:54,570 --> 00:25:56,970
himself out of the play, then
redirected and grabbed.
479
00:25:57,490 --> 00:25:59,290
You know, he has some other
people grabbing.
480
00:25:59,290 --> 00:26:03,570
But I mean what I can say.
I know we talking about what
481
00:26:03,570 --> 00:26:06,880
went bad, but what I can say is
even though we was fucking up,
482
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,000
we was doing it full speed.
Yeah, Brody was in there
483
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,840
helping.
He was trying to pull and
484
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,720
taking, taking drones to the end
zone.
485
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,000
And sometimes that's what you
need, man.
486
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,320
You got to, you got to find
something to play for, you got
487
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,960
to play for each other and there
you go.
488
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,680
It looked like we at least tried
to do that.
489
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,520
If you can't play good, play
hard.
490
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,880
There you there you go.
So let's talk about the couple
491
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,800
explosive pass plays that led to
two of Pitts 4 touchdowns.
492
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,320
Do we all agree the first one is
what it is?
493
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,440
Man got beat, Bombed on us.
Bomb can't do nothing about
494
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,360
that.
The second one was the the one
495
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:45,040
Tally was mentioned in a few
minutes ago.
496
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,480
Yes, the obvious.
Nobody wanted to wrap up
497
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,520
Flemeister on that little
screen.
498
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,360
Nobody.
And.
499
00:26:53,690 --> 00:27:00,730
That play which went for, I
believe it was 5061 yards. 6161,
500
00:27:00,850 --> 00:27:07,370
Yep, 61 in the 75 as 136 of
their yards right there on their
501
00:27:07,370 --> 00:27:09,850
total.
I think it was under 200 plus,
502
00:27:09,850 --> 00:27:14,010
but it's still you still don't
like to see it right.
503
00:27:14,490 --> 00:27:17,170
I know, I know, Shelton can
probably pull us up here and say
504
00:27:17,170 --> 00:27:20,890
percentage wise for explosive
plays, we were significantly
505
00:27:20,890 --> 00:27:23,820
lower Saturday night.
Than the national average.
506
00:27:23,980 --> 00:27:26,740
I'll let him I'll let him pull
that up and talk about it but
507
00:27:26,740 --> 00:27:31,220
it's still it's knowing where
you're going it's that whole
508
00:27:32,180 --> 00:27:34,820
forcing teams Brian me and you
always talked about this for
509
00:27:34,820 --> 00:27:40,460
years forcing teams to drive the
ball more plays equals more
510
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:43,780
potential errors.
If if you getting when you
511
00:27:43,780 --> 00:27:47,660
getting shredded with one or two
plays and they go for you know
512
00:27:47,740 --> 00:27:52,300
30-40 plus yards like you don't
have a chance in that.
513
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:56,980
They score and it's like that
whole mentality of keep it in
514
00:27:56,980 --> 00:27:59,180
front of you, you keep it in
front of you, they got to run
515
00:27:59,180 --> 00:28:01,860
another play.
Eventually somebody will screw
516
00:28:01,860 --> 00:28:03,820
up hopefully and good things
happen.
517
00:28:07,180 --> 00:28:09,980
So go ahead, go.
Ahead, I was just going to.
518
00:28:09,980 --> 00:28:11,620
I'll let you go and pitch it to
you.
519
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:14,860
I'll jump in after that.
Sean, what, what was the
520
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:18,020
percentage on explosive plays
from Pitt if you have that data?
521
00:28:18,020 --> 00:28:20,140
If not, Brian will jump in while
you're still researching.
522
00:28:20,380 --> 00:28:22,140
Yeah, you can go ahead.
I'm I'm still looking at it.
523
00:28:22,750 --> 00:28:27,590
Yeah you're good just saying on
explosive plays I mean you know
524
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:31,350
that's really been the the big
struggle for this team in every
525
00:28:31,350 --> 00:28:35,510
game so far.
You know let let those big plays
526
00:28:35,510 --> 00:28:37,630
especially in the run game.
So the fact that we're we're
527
00:28:37,630 --> 00:28:42,390
starting to make some some hay
there is nice but you know you
528
00:28:42,390 --> 00:28:47,830
still have the one like you said
it happens but when on on the
529
00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:50,390
screen just get them to the
ground.
530
00:28:51,620 --> 00:28:56,340
To the ground and The thing is.
And guys are in position to make
531
00:28:56,340 --> 00:28:58,060
the play.
That's the more frustrating,
532
00:28:58,060 --> 00:29:01,940
like if it's a caravan, then you
know it is what it is.
533
00:29:01,940 --> 00:29:07,460
But right, if if you just get
out outflanked, then we got
534
00:29:07,460 --> 00:29:09,220
accepted like they threw a bomb
on us.
535
00:29:09,220 --> 00:29:11,860
Somebody got beat.
Nothing you really can do.
536
00:29:12,060 --> 00:29:16,460
Somebody got beat with no safety
help, but when you when you got
537
00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:19,950
people in position to make a
tackle and the defense somewhat
538
00:29:19,950 --> 00:29:24,030
looks to be called to stop that
play, even though that was a
539
00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:27,350
safety blitz, I mean a corner
blitz, they threw the ball where
540
00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:30,390
the corner came from.
We still have people in place to
541
00:29:30,390 --> 00:29:34,070
make the tackle.
A PR came in like a like he was
542
00:29:34,070 --> 00:29:37,680
shot out of a rocket, just
didn't wrap up and when he hit
543
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,840
the running back, it looked like
he gave him a Mario star and he
544
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,880
took off to the end zone.
I was like, how did he do that?
545
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,480
Like he wasn't running that fast
before he got hit.
546
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,520
So it was just when stuff like
that happens, you know, and
547
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,800
especially in like that point in
the game where you're making
548
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,640
some noise, I think it was 28 to
7 and then they go for a run
549
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,240
like that.
You're like okay, here we go.
550
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,640
That's what Virginia Tech does.
We we give up the big plays, so.
551
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,480
Very true.
Sheldon, were you able to find
552
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,840
anything?
Yeah, I just, I think I so I had
553
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,760
7% exposed to put rate against
Pitts and then I think against
554
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,800
Rutgers it was like 4%, which is
pretty bad.
555
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,160
Marshall was much better,
though.
556
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,000
So The thing is, it kind of
obviously goes up and down game
557
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
to game.
There's a lot of variance in
558
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,520
terms of explicit plays.
I would say this is probably 1
559
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,680
area where I think maybe the
analytics.
560
00:30:35,380 --> 00:30:37,060
Differs from conventional
wisdom.
561
00:30:37,420 --> 00:30:39,860
It's not that explicit plays
don't matter, It's just that
562
00:30:39,860 --> 00:30:43,660
they tend to be pretty random.
And so the most sustainable way
563
00:30:43,660 --> 00:30:47,420
to create offense is to, like I
said, stay on schedule, be
564
00:30:47,420 --> 00:30:51,140
successful, you know, get get
chunk cards when you can.
565
00:30:51,340 --> 00:30:54,420
I think it's what like to the
point you're saying having
566
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:57,740
explicit plays is big because it
reduces the number of plays you
567
00:30:57,740 --> 00:31:02,820
need to score for to to have a
successful drive, which is less,
568
00:31:03,220 --> 00:31:07,660
you know, potential for error.
But when you look at it over
569
00:31:07,660 --> 00:31:09,940
over the course of time, the
best offices are the ones that
570
00:31:09,940 --> 00:31:12,180
stay on schedule, not
necessarily the ones that have
571
00:31:12,180 --> 00:31:14,300
the biggest explosive plays.
So it it does matter, but it's
572
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:16,820
just one component, I think, of
sustaining offense.
573
00:31:17,260 --> 00:31:20,700
And so the biggest thing for me
against Pitt was the fact that
574
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:22,740
tech was, like I said, extremely
successful.
575
00:31:23,060 --> 00:31:27,180
They were They had a 50% success
rate, which would have been
576
00:31:27,180 --> 00:31:30,290
around the 90th percentile.
So that's that's really, really
577
00:31:30,290 --> 00:31:32,370
good.
Yeah, we need to offense.
578
00:31:32,890 --> 00:31:36,570
And I mean, you know to to
Sheldon's point there, when you
579
00:31:36,570 --> 00:31:40,690
look at those, those explosive
plays and you look at what Pitts
580
00:31:40,690 --> 00:31:43,290
been doing all year, The problem
that with Pitts offense is that
581
00:31:43,290 --> 00:31:45,610
they're pretty much only
explosive plays right now.
582
00:31:45,610 --> 00:31:48,770
Like, they have very little.
They're generating very little
583
00:31:48,770 --> 00:31:50,650
offense outside of those
explosive plays.
584
00:31:50,890 --> 00:31:53,560
Right.
But you know the one thing you
585
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,960
talked about Shelton's making a
great point of staying on task,
586
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,320
it's impressive you say we're at
90% success rate when we had 10
587
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,920
penalties at 91 yards.
Now two of those were complete.
588
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,760
Two were bullshit.
I'll straight straight up two
589
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:14,560
were bullshit drone spiking the
ball and a 15 yard penalty and
590
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,640
delaying trash talking.
Really.
591
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:21,820
I mean I'm wondering is it, I'm
wondering is it a cold word that
592
00:32:21,820 --> 00:32:25,540
the the reps said like some some
reps don't like a certain word.
593
00:32:25,540 --> 00:32:28,700
Did you say, you know, I wonder,
did he say that word?
594
00:32:28,860 --> 00:32:31,780
Maybe, you know, I mean like.
The football.
595
00:32:31,780 --> 00:32:35,420
And he's like, wait a second.
Spiking the football gets you a
596
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:36,340
penalty?
What?
597
00:32:36,460 --> 00:32:40,020
Yeah, well, I didn't know that.
Well, apparently get jacked into
598
00:32:40,020 --> 00:32:43,140
the backfield is enough to be to
get a tripping call on these
599
00:32:43,140 --> 00:32:45,800
too, so you know.
I mean so.
600
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,200
That was a that was a phantom
tripping call on Gosnell.
601
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,160
So that's really three.
If you want to add it, add that
602
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,680
one in.
So add that one in there.
603
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,880
So three, the phantom tripping
call, they all are fifteens.
604
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,360
So what that scares me on this
because the other seven were for
605
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,040
60 and you know they were
procedurals.
606
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,400
I think we have one offsides and
those are the ones where
607
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,600
Shelton's just talking about.
We have to, we have to clean
608
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,680
that up because you're not going
to have the success rate of 90
609
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,730
having.
You know, 60 plus yards or
610
00:33:14,770 --> 00:33:17,850
excuse me, 40 plus yards and
procedural penalties because
611
00:33:17,850 --> 00:33:20,970
you're going to be first and 15.
Oh well, instead of section and
612
00:33:20,970 --> 00:33:24,290
six, it's second and 11:00
because somebody jumped.
613
00:33:25,030 --> 00:33:27,350
So it's something I want to see
cleaned up.
614
00:33:27,390 --> 00:33:29,670
I think we all want to see
cleaned up because those are the
615
00:33:29,670 --> 00:33:31,270
ones you like.
That's the ones that I will
616
00:33:31,270 --> 00:33:33,830
litter If I'm sitting here with
my hat on in the man cave and we
617
00:33:33,830 --> 00:33:37,350
do, I throw it to the ground
because it's like, just like,
618
00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:39,910
stop the stupid crap.
Like, stop the dumb shit, you
619
00:33:39,910 --> 00:33:42,390
might as well throw the hat up
because they throw the flags up
620
00:33:42,390 --> 00:33:47,150
because we jumping off sides.
Yeah, I mean, you know, Curtis
621
00:33:47,150 --> 00:33:49,630
you're talking about, I mean, it
ended up not being playing that
622
00:33:49,630 --> 00:33:51,670
much of A role this week.
But I mean, you look back to the
623
00:33:51,670 --> 00:33:55,110
Marshall game with going from.
4th and one to keep the drive
624
00:33:55,110 --> 00:33:58,390
going to tie it to 4th and 6th
and now you got a completely
625
00:33:58,390 --> 00:34:00,710
different mindset of what you
need to do to get that first
626
00:34:00,710 --> 00:34:02,950
down and how pissed does it make
you?
627
00:34:03,990 --> 00:34:06,510
How piss does it make you that
we run the 4th down play where
628
00:34:06,910 --> 00:34:11,230
we put drones on the center and
right behind him and we just
629
00:34:11,230 --> 00:34:13,510
push him forward and he gains
like 3 yards?
630
00:34:13,630 --> 00:34:17,070
We didn't do it again, but I'm
no, but I'm saying if we don't
631
00:34:17,070 --> 00:34:20,429
jump off sides against Marshall,
we can use that play, you know,
632
00:34:20,469 --> 00:34:23,610
and we can get a first down, but
you jump off sides and you make
633
00:34:23,610 --> 00:34:26,050
it 4th and 6th.
Totally different play.
634
00:34:26,530 --> 00:34:27,770
Yep.
All right.
635
00:34:27,770 --> 00:34:30,489
Before we wrap it up, anything
else of what went bad?
636
00:34:30,610 --> 00:34:34,409
Any of y'all want to point out,
I will say this and it's
637
00:34:34,409 --> 00:34:38,090
something that he's they're
going to have to correct and
638
00:34:38,090 --> 00:34:40,130
it's probably because of how
much he's he's carrying the
639
00:34:40,130 --> 00:34:42,850
ball.
I think Drones has fumbled in
640
00:34:43,449 --> 00:34:46,449
three games.
I think he's fumbled three times
641
00:34:46,449 --> 00:34:48,690
or maybe lost three from.
I got to go back and look, I
642
00:34:48,690 --> 00:34:49,969
know he's fumbled a couple
times.
643
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,360
We got to, he's got to clean
that up.
644
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,280
You know, we, he don't want that
stigma on him.
645
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,760
I know he's carrying that ball a
lot.
646
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,920
Sooner or later we're going to
have to not have him carry the
647
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,840
ball 22 * a game.
But we got to, we got to live
648
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,880
with those fumbles because, you
know, in a close game it'll come
649
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,400
back and bite us.
Yeah, the first game he had the
650
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,160
the missed handoff.
So what really like fumble, But
651
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,560
I mean it was it was credited to
him because of the exchange at
652
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,640
the mesh point.
But then, yeah, he did fumble.
653
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,160
Against Marshall, you know,
running the football and then
654
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,400
obviously what was what happened
in the backfield this week.
655
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,640
It gets pits so you know got to
clean up the fumbles.
656
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,280
He's doing good.
I don't think he's got one pick
657
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,200
but you know as as the play
caller man and and I think
658
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,280
drones is doing an awesome job.
Y'all know how I feel.
659
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,240
Y'all know how BCP feels about
drones being Q B1 we.
660
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,760
Have been only since April.
Yeah, yeah.
661
00:35:45,180 --> 00:35:48,220
But him going forward and him
taking that next step is going
662
00:35:48,220 --> 00:35:50,980
to be he's got to clean up the,
got to clean up the turnovers.
663
00:35:51,020 --> 00:35:53,900
Well, all three of them are
different though the the mesh
664
00:35:53,900 --> 00:35:57,340
point, you know.
There's been no issues with the
665
00:35:57,340 --> 00:35:59,620
mesh since then, right?
The run.
666
00:35:59,620 --> 00:36:01,260
It was how he was protecting the
ball.
667
00:36:01,700 --> 00:36:03,500
I didn't see that Saturday
night.
668
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:05,300
When he ran, he was much more
protected.
669
00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:08,300
What it was Saturday night was
he was trembling, trying to get
670
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:10,660
away and he was trying like a
slipped out of his hand.
671
00:36:11,860 --> 00:36:13,980
So it's one of those.
That's where the conversations
672
00:36:13,980 --> 00:36:14,820
got to be.
Hey, listen.
673
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,000
You've got to know when it's
over and you just got to Chuck
674
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,600
it over the head so but but the
way I see it is we've had no
675
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,520
more mess issues.
He looked better protected the
676
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,520
ball Saturday again it's like
they're coaching to it.
677
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,720
He's taking it and he's put it
in practice.
678
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:34,760
So let's clean up the the other
one, let's clean up the well.
679
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,040
When you're getting pressured
and you know and and there's a
680
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,840
no win situation, you've got to
get rid of it quicker.
681
00:36:42,310 --> 00:36:44,510
You can because at that point
there were two guys on him.
682
00:36:44,590 --> 00:36:45,710
Yeah.
And I was going to say it's a
683
00:36:45,710 --> 00:36:49,470
couple of times what he's what
he's good at is also can be what
684
00:36:49,710 --> 00:36:53,070
the Achilles heel will be like.
He's good.
685
00:36:53,390 --> 00:36:56,910
I think, I can't remember was it
fourth, was it fourth quarter
686
00:36:56,910 --> 00:36:59,590
maybe third or fourth quarter
the the the throw he made to
687
00:36:59,630 --> 00:37:03,270
Dequan, right.
He's got people draped on him
688
00:37:03,270 --> 00:37:06,910
and he kind of jumps and throws
the 30 yard pass and we get the
689
00:37:06,910 --> 00:37:14,490
first down to right.
So my thing is like he, he has a
690
00:37:14,530 --> 00:37:18,890
knack for doing certain things,
but the more and more he plays,
691
00:37:18,890 --> 00:37:20,890
he's going to have to see how he
can do that.
692
00:37:20,890 --> 00:37:23,090
Because it was a couple of times
like when they got the
693
00:37:23,090 --> 00:37:27,890
intentional grounding call, like
if he doesn't have just a little
694
00:37:27,890 --> 00:37:30,530
bit more arm on that ball, he
had no receipt was around.
695
00:37:30,770 --> 00:37:34,170
That's a pick and that's a pick
six, you know what I'm saying?
696
00:37:34,170 --> 00:37:37,450
Like that's a long, that is a
long way to the sideline.
697
00:37:37,450 --> 00:37:43,260
So I know he he got a looking at
him play man he looks so mature.
698
00:37:43,460 --> 00:37:46,820
He's such a young guy man and I
just you know I want them to to
699
00:37:46,820 --> 00:37:49,420
get behind him and and keep
developing him because he's
700
00:37:49,420 --> 00:37:52,660
special.
You know I I I kind of thought
701
00:37:52,660 --> 00:37:55,100
it when I seen him and I seen
some of those things that he
702
00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:56,700
could do.
I was like, I think he'll fit,
703
00:37:57,140 --> 00:38:00,660
fit in good in this, in this
offense, but you know just those
704
00:38:00,660 --> 00:38:04,740
things, if he tweaks those, you
know, moving forward, I think
705
00:38:04,740 --> 00:38:06,740
that I think we got a star in
our hands.
706
00:38:06,740 --> 00:38:07,900
I.
Think you're right?
707
00:38:08,180 --> 00:38:09,850
Take the ball, baby.
Protected.
708
00:38:10,210 --> 00:38:11,690
All right, let's move on this
one.
709
00:38:11,850 --> 00:38:15,930
That was obviously the bad.
We still have things we are
710
00:38:15,930 --> 00:38:19,010
griping about because we're
fans, because they ain't no none
711
00:38:19,010 --> 00:38:22,850
of y'all out there below that,
because I know y'all great, but.
712
00:38:23,170 --> 00:38:26,170
Let's do this one next and I'm
going to lead it off Anything
713
00:38:26,290 --> 00:38:29,370
that happened that we were not
prepared for, and this is my
714
00:38:29,370 --> 00:38:35,890
biggie after the big Flameister
touchdown pass after the fumble.
715
00:38:36,270 --> 00:38:39,070
Within 5 seconds, it goes from a
three score lead to A1 score
716
00:38:39,070 --> 00:38:41,470
lead.
And this is where I think you
717
00:38:41,470 --> 00:38:43,350
know people, The question Is it
the right coaching staff?
718
00:38:43,350 --> 00:38:45,430
And this is when it kind of
clicked on me.
719
00:38:45,430 --> 00:38:46,510
We do have a good coaching
staff.
720
00:38:47,230 --> 00:38:51,110
That whole team was calm.
The entire team was calm.
721
00:38:51,310 --> 00:38:55,190
Offense, defense, everybody was
just like, hey, this is all
722
00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:58,870
right, everybody take a breath.
We've made a couple mistakes.
723
00:38:59,230 --> 00:39:01,870
We still got a lead.
We're still playing well.
724
00:39:03,140 --> 00:39:06,540
I mean there have been times in
the past where it wasn't like
725
00:39:06,540 --> 00:39:08,780
that.
It was the old cascade effect,
726
00:39:08,780 --> 00:39:12,580
Brian, right?
Rolling down bad just keeps
727
00:39:12,580 --> 00:39:14,420
happening.
Bad just keeps happening.
728
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:18,820
It didn't happen because after
that, you know, after that
729
00:39:18,820 --> 00:39:24,660
fumble return, after the fumble
return, just a few minutes
730
00:39:24,660 --> 00:39:28,860
later, we going to score again,
we we take the 14 point lead
731
00:39:28,860 --> 00:39:32,010
back and it's just like okay.
That made me feel good.
732
00:39:32,010 --> 00:39:34,330
What about?
You, Brian, I'd say the big
733
00:39:34,330 --> 00:39:39,610
thing there is that, you know,
when we look at just speaking to
734
00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:45,090
your point, not only did they
not panic, but the staff trusted
735
00:39:45,090 --> 00:39:49,610
the players to go out there and
get it back, right, get that
736
00:39:49,610 --> 00:39:52,090
touchdown back and they did it.
So that was big.
737
00:39:52,610 --> 00:39:56,170
My thing is, I didn't expect
that much complimentary football
738
00:39:56,170 --> 00:40:00,150
and one football game.
That's true.
739
00:40:00,550 --> 00:40:02,630
I wasn't expected.
Yeah, that's true.
740
00:40:03,030 --> 00:40:05,710
Well, going back to two what
what Curtis said when he talks
741
00:40:05,710 --> 00:40:08,750
about the calmness kind of
starts with the head man, like
742
00:40:09,110 --> 00:40:11,670
when drones turns that ball
over, which we've talked about
743
00:40:14,030 --> 00:40:18,590
other regimes that we probably
know of would have got tight or
744
00:40:18,590 --> 00:40:21,070
even even even us.
You know, we would have thought
745
00:40:21,070 --> 00:40:22,310
our coaches might have got
tight.
746
00:40:22,590 --> 00:40:25,950
But I've seen and and and we
talked about it you know last
747
00:40:25,950 --> 00:40:30,010
week talking about wanting to
see some you know some action
748
00:40:30,010 --> 00:40:33,890
from the coaches.
I seen pride be lining over the
749
00:40:34,210 --> 00:40:37,890
to drones when he when he lost
that ball and I'm like oh he's
750
00:40:37,890 --> 00:40:39,530
about to get in his ass.
He didn't.
751
00:40:39,530 --> 00:40:41,730
He went over he put his head.
You know I don't know what he
752
00:40:41,730 --> 00:40:43,210
said to him.
He probably said you better go
753
00:40:43,210 --> 00:40:45,290
get it back.
You know it's all right we still
754
00:40:45,290 --> 00:40:47,650
up.
But whatever he said he made
755
00:40:47,650 --> 00:40:50,850
sure his young quarterback was
calm enough to go out and run
756
00:40:50,850 --> 00:40:53,610
the offense.
So Andrea I was wondering where
757
00:40:53,610 --> 00:40:55,090
you was at.
I was about to get pissed, man,
758
00:40:55,090 --> 00:41:00,500
if you don't show up on a win,
but but anyway, yeah, like like
759
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:04,100
Curtis said, man, just the
calmness of the team, you know,
760
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,900
starting with the coach, then
the quarterback, then everybody
761
00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:08,740
else.
We just kept on.
762
00:41:08,940 --> 00:41:12,140
We kept on grooving and then
what Brian said, you know we had
763
00:41:12,140 --> 00:41:16,580
the we had the complimentary
football throughout the
764
00:41:17,180 --> 00:41:21,180
throughout the game.
You know, you kind of when when
765
00:41:21,180 --> 00:41:25,680
things went bad on offense,
defense stepped up, you know
766
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,920
what I'm saying?
When they cut it.
767
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:30,400
So when they cut the lead,
defense went out and got a big
768
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,520
stop.
When they gave the ball back to
769
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,480
the offense, the offense went
and scored.
770
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,720
Because there's been plenty of
times when we get a, we get a,
771
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,840
a, a, a turnover on the 10 yard
line and have to kick a field
772
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,200
goal.
No, we punched it in.
773
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,480
Yes, we did.
Yes, we.
774
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,080
So brings me to my point.
I didn't think I was going to
775
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,880
have to change my underwear as
much as I did.
776
00:41:52,170 --> 00:41:53,850
Yep, Yep.
Man, it was bad.
777
00:41:55,730 --> 00:41:58,570
It was bad, man.
Creaming all day.
778
00:42:01,130 --> 00:42:04,290
It was, it was so many good
points in the game.
779
00:42:04,290 --> 00:42:07,330
It was so, you know, talk about
the complimentary football, you
780
00:42:07,330 --> 00:42:10,370
talk about the calmness of the
team, you talking about what the
781
00:42:10,370 --> 00:42:13,490
coaches did.
It was just great to see a full
782
00:42:13,490 --> 00:42:17,290
game of competent football.
You know what I'm saying?
783
00:42:17,290 --> 00:42:22,480
And and just to lay it out again
my everybody knows my son plays
784
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,120
travel baseball.
So we're at the ball field place
785
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,640
called Albertville this week,
which is still in the in the
786
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,720
country.
It's a lot of country places and
787
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:31,640
if we're playing baseball in
Alabama, you're usually in the
788
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:36,480
country.
So I'm on the on the the group
789
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,520
chat with the fellows and I'm
just getting like late updates
790
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,320
like no, but they're crazy too.
It's like oh screenplay And then
791
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,080
it's like, oh fuck.
And then it's like, fuck the
792
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,030
refs.
And I'm like, like they're all
793
00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:50,950
out of order.
So I don't know what's going on.
794
00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:53,670
So I just got to put it down
until I actually can call
795
00:42:53,670 --> 00:42:58,590
somebody or until I can go check
the score, move around and find
796
00:42:58,590 --> 00:43:02,070
a spot.
So it it was nerve racking to
797
00:43:02,110 --> 00:43:04,630
not be able to watch it while it
was live.
798
00:43:04,910 --> 00:43:09,750
But it also was, you know, very
like it.
799
00:43:09,790 --> 00:43:12,630
It was just, man, when you
looked at the score and we were
800
00:43:12,630 --> 00:43:17,560
up, you know, 28 to 7 and then
they come back and make it 2821
801
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,200
to 28, then we go up and take
the lead, go to 3521.
802
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:22,600
I'm like, we got a football
team, yeah.
803
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,160
We did shown.
What about you?
804
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,880
What surprised you Saturday
night?
805
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,480
I would say how efficient the
passing game was.
806
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:35,160
I mean, I didn't get to the stat
yet, but you look at EPA per
807
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,200
drop back, so that's expected
points added.
808
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,040
Basically it converts yards into
points.
809
00:43:40,490 --> 00:43:43,690
Tech ranked in the 99th
percentile in in that stat.
810
00:43:43,690 --> 00:43:47,050
So they they averaged about what
was I think 12 yards per drop
811
00:43:47,050 --> 00:43:50,130
back and that includes sacks.
Obviously Tech did not give up a
812
00:43:50,130 --> 00:43:53,170
single sack and it also includes
scramble runs.
813
00:43:53,770 --> 00:43:58,290
So they were they were super,
super efficient in terms of the
814
00:43:58,290 --> 00:44:00,370
the dropout passing game, which
I think was really, really
815
00:44:00,370 --> 00:44:02,210
helpful.
They obviously generated some
816
00:44:02,210 --> 00:44:03,970
expensive plays.
The the touchdown passed the
817
00:44:03,970 --> 00:44:07,610
lane where I think he kind of,
you know, sat in that little
818
00:44:07,610 --> 00:44:09,780
underneath spot.
Kind of drift away from the
819
00:44:09,780 --> 00:44:12,340
linebackers who who kind of
cheated towards one side and
820
00:44:12,340 --> 00:44:15,540
then had a ton of running room.
I think it was just it was just
821
00:44:15,540 --> 00:44:18,100
a really good efficient passing
offense, which is pretty nice to
822
00:44:18,100 --> 00:44:20,860
see and I know drones great out
really well on PFF too.
823
00:44:21,260 --> 00:44:23,180
So kind of kind of backs up the
eye test as well.
824
00:44:23,180 --> 00:44:25,820
He was just really smart with
the, smart with the ball and
825
00:44:25,820 --> 00:44:28,500
make good decisions.
Alrighty.
826
00:44:29,060 --> 00:44:30,940
Well, what can we do better
moving forward?
827
00:44:30,940 --> 00:44:33,140
I know the one that we've kept
on there is we.
828
00:44:33,850 --> 00:44:37,050
I think the way Brody Meadow
plays, Brody Meadows needs to be
829
00:44:37,050 --> 00:44:40,530
starting somewhere on the line
when he's got to be starting
830
00:44:40,530 --> 00:44:44,290
somewhere.
I don't know where it is.
831
00:44:44,290 --> 00:44:48,410
I know where Brian wants him.
As long as we get somebody off
832
00:44:48,410 --> 00:44:51,050
the right side of the line, I'm
good at this point.
833
00:44:52,050 --> 00:44:55,090
And and and I think that happens
and we're sitting here talking
834
00:44:55,090 --> 00:44:56,770
about it.
Could we see it Florida State or
835
00:44:56,770 --> 00:44:58,610
wake?
Me and Brian had a little
836
00:44:58,610 --> 00:45:00,610
sidebar conversation the other
day boys.
837
00:45:00,930 --> 00:45:02,490
If it happens, it's going to be
Syracuse.
838
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,360
Because they're going to have
the big break, right?
839
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,200
They're going to have their off
week and then they're going to
840
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,480
have prepping for Syracuse.
I think that's the week if
841
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,280
there's a change made.
Unless they just say, you know
842
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,360
what?
Put the better guy on the right
843
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,720
side.
Yeah, but you'll get, you'll get
844
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:19,280
at least two extra practices in
that period there, so.
845
00:45:20,240 --> 00:45:25,520
Yeah, What else, Brian?
I mean, let's continue stringing
846
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,880
together these multiple quarters
of complimentary football
847
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,680
because say win game, I kind of
like it.
848
00:45:32,110 --> 00:45:35,950
It wins games.
It's nice.
849
00:45:35,950 --> 00:45:40,310
It's nice looking at A at A at a
team that looks competent for
850
00:45:40,310 --> 00:45:42,630
four quarters in pretty much
every phase.
851
00:45:42,830 --> 00:45:44,910
Like, I don't expect them to go
out there and be perfect.
852
00:45:44,910 --> 00:45:46,670
I don't think any of us expect
them to go out there and play a
853
00:45:46,670 --> 00:45:50,470
perfect game, except maybe this
week because that's what's
854
00:45:50,470 --> 00:45:52,670
needed to win.
But we'll get to that after the
855
00:45:52,670 --> 00:45:54,630
break.
True.
856
00:45:55,430 --> 00:45:56,710
True.
Anything else?
857
00:45:56,710 --> 00:46:00,470
Tally well, Brian said.
You know, playing competent but
858
00:46:00,470 --> 00:46:03,500
also playing confident.
You know, knowing that you know
859
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:06,380
your plays, you know, moving
forward, knowing that the play
860
00:46:06,380 --> 00:46:09,820
call is going to work, knowing
that you got the people in place
861
00:46:09,820 --> 00:46:14,060
to make the play.
You know, if you watch Felton on
862
00:46:14,060 --> 00:46:15,540
that first pass, he's missed
some.
863
00:46:15,900 --> 00:46:17,860
You know, he's still, of course
he's he's not perfect, He's a
864
00:46:17,860 --> 00:46:20,820
human, but he's missed some
balls that's been thrown to him.
865
00:46:20,820 --> 00:46:23,460
But when he caught that ball,
you can see the excitement, like
866
00:46:23,460 --> 00:46:25,580
he's got it with two hands.
He's about to squeeze the air
867
00:46:25,580 --> 00:46:28,700
out of it.
Like he was so excited to catch
868
00:46:28,700 --> 00:46:30,860
the ball and get in the end zone
and burn somebody.
869
00:46:30,860 --> 00:46:32,700
Like, that's confidence, you
know what I'm saying?
870
00:46:32,700 --> 00:46:36,060
You can see his confidence
building just every week, you
871
00:46:36,060 --> 00:46:37,540
know, and then Lane getting
back.
872
00:46:37,540 --> 00:46:41,300
I don't think Lane knew he was
100% until he caught that ball
873
00:46:41,700 --> 00:46:44,820
and and took off because I seen
him on the sideline.
874
00:46:44,820 --> 00:46:47,700
Like, I always watch the game
within the game.
875
00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:49,260
Like, I don't just watch the
plays.
876
00:46:49,260 --> 00:46:52,180
I watch sideline stuff.
I watch things that's going on
877
00:46:52,180 --> 00:46:55,820
between the plays, kind of
offensive lineman talking to
878
00:46:55,820 --> 00:46:58,090
each other.
But I seen Lane after he caught
879
00:46:58,090 --> 00:47:01,490
that pass, it was like he was
talking maybe to the other one I
880
00:47:01,490 --> 00:47:03,330
received was and he was like I
thought I was going to get
881
00:47:03,330 --> 00:47:04,730
caught.
And you know what I'm saying?
882
00:47:04,730 --> 00:47:06,170
He kind of filled it in his
hamstring.
883
00:47:06,170 --> 00:47:09,850
But he's, I don't think he's
100%, but I think he may be 90%.
884
00:47:09,850 --> 00:47:13,210
You know, I don't think he knew
that until he he caught that and
885
00:47:13,210 --> 00:47:16,610
he turned it on so because he
hit another gear when he got
886
00:47:16,610 --> 00:47:19,810
that ball.
So you know we need that for us
887
00:47:19,810 --> 00:47:23,370
to to compete and win, but
definitely to compete in this
888
00:47:23,370 --> 00:47:24,930
week.
Confidence man.
889
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,960
Anything else we can do better
moving forward?
890
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:33,200
I would say the offensive line
was still not great.
891
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,320
I think when you look at some of
our rushing numbers, it's it's a
892
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,160
little bit misleading because we
had a ton of big or I would say
893
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,040
big, but we had a ton of chunk
plays.
894
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,880
But in terms of just like, you
know, line yards, which is
895
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,120
basically like yards that you
contribute to offensive line
896
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,880
play, it was not great and it
has been great for most this
897
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:50,960
year.
No, I do think they're getting a
898
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,450
little bit better.
But there's definitely still
899
00:47:53,450 --> 00:47:55,970
some misassignments there.
I think our running success had
900
00:47:55,970 --> 00:47:58,930
more to do with drones kind of
making things happen as well as
901
00:47:58,930 --> 00:48:01,170
like I said getting the ball to
the perimeter and having those
902
00:48:01,170 --> 00:48:04,770
wide receivers block.
So I mean because they we had so
903
00:48:04,770 --> 00:48:09,330
many tosses to to you know,
outside the outside the tackles
904
00:48:09,730 --> 00:48:11,930
that it was kind of hard to
really attribute that too much
905
00:48:11,930 --> 00:48:15,250
to to the online play.
I don't know what schematically
906
00:48:15,250 --> 00:48:17,450
they they looked at with Pitt,
but like every single time they
907
00:48:17,450 --> 00:48:19,770
got the ball outside like we had
numbers, we just, you know, it's
908
00:48:19,770 --> 00:48:20,770
just a matter of blocking it up,
right.
909
00:48:20,770 --> 00:48:24,020
I wish they did.
So obviously a lot of work work
910
00:48:24,020 --> 00:48:26,220
to do with devs line, but at the
very least the wide receiver
911
00:48:26,220 --> 00:48:29,140
blocking was was fantastic.
So some good, some bad.
912
00:48:29,540 --> 00:48:33,180
Yeah, I think, I think Bowen is
figuring out what the team as a
913
00:48:33,180 --> 00:48:35,540
whole, from an offensive
standpoint does well in terms of
914
00:48:35,540 --> 00:48:39,020
the running game and what it
what it doesn't do well is just
915
00:48:39,540 --> 00:48:41,420
line up and run between the
tackles.
916
00:48:41,660 --> 00:48:43,100
Yeah.
Can I say one thing though about
917
00:48:43,100 --> 00:48:46,260
that?
He still keeps it honest because
918
00:48:46,260 --> 00:48:49,540
there were times he was just it
would be Malachi or two, just
919
00:48:49,540 --> 00:48:52,720
like Y'all running inside zone.
We're going to get about 3
920
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:54,320
yards.
If y'all break one, we might get
921
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,080
5.
You can't.
922
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,560
You can't have those linebackers
just flowing right off the bat,
923
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,120
so you got to keep them on us.
You got to keep them.
924
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,160
On us, but I think we figured
out those like 5 or 6 running
925
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,480
plays that we can get some
positive yards on every time now
926
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,560
and we're starting to figure
that out and I think that's
927
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,920
that's helped the offensive line
in terms of the rushing game
928
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,120
more than anything else and when
you.
929
00:49:21,030 --> 00:49:23,270
Things like that make the
lineman's job a little bit
930
00:49:23,270 --> 00:49:27,070
easier too, so the block's a
little bit easier to get there.
931
00:49:29,350 --> 00:49:32,670
So you'll see the grades creep
up a little bit because of that,
932
00:49:32,670 --> 00:49:36,950
too.
Now there's still not we don't
933
00:49:36,950 --> 00:49:40,350
have any.
Yeah, not not a lot of green on
934
00:49:40,350 --> 00:49:42,910
that sheet yet, but you know
we're starting at least creeping
935
00:49:42,910 --> 00:49:45,790
to the yellow on some of those
those PFF grades.
936
00:49:45,790 --> 00:49:48,310
It's.
It's going to be a slow go, but
937
00:49:48,310 --> 00:49:51,870
we are seeing some improvement
and it's to me, it's been that
938
00:49:51,870 --> 00:49:55,950
way since Kyra Jones took out.
I still sit here and y'all if we
939
00:49:55,950 --> 00:50:00,270
take a look at how we're rushing
the ball, we are now, I think,
940
00:50:00,270 --> 00:50:04,590
let me see, 125, one to 300 to
500.
941
00:50:04,790 --> 00:50:08,640
We're averaging about 170.
A game on the ground since
942
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,400
Calvin Jones took over 170 is
about 40th in the country
943
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,760
Rushing the ball.
That's that is a crazy a game.
944
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,360
That's crazy.
Crazy.
945
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,800
Because you tell me right now,
we're going to rush the ball in
946
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,320
the Top 40.
I'll take it every year.
947
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,400
Every year you take it because
you're going to get between
948
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,960
somewhere between 170 and 180 a
game.
949
00:50:27,620 --> 00:50:30,460
People talk and you'll have
people that say, well, you
950
00:50:30,460 --> 00:50:33,220
played this team on this team,
what this and that.
951
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:35,180
We played ODU and couldn't run
the ball.
952
00:50:35,620 --> 00:50:39,740
Couldn't run the ball against
the best 3 defensive We played
953
00:50:39,740 --> 00:50:41,420
tally.
We've ran our best.
954
00:50:41,700 --> 00:50:44,340
We've ran our best against
Rutgers, who's a good solid
955
00:50:44,340 --> 00:50:46,500
defense.
Marshall, who might be the best
956
00:50:46,540 --> 00:50:51,380
G5 defense out there, and Pitt,
who I said before was a top 15
957
00:50:51,380 --> 00:50:54,420
ranked defense or who they play.
Don't care.
958
00:50:54,500 --> 00:50:56,620
The numbers are the numbers.
They played North Carolina.
959
00:50:57,310 --> 00:50:58,950
Kept them look at Ron's.
Got a husband?
960
00:50:59,310 --> 00:51:02,670
I mean, West Virginia is about a
slouch team right now.
961
00:51:02,670 --> 00:51:08,030
Look at their record all.
Right boys, before we get to
962
00:51:08,030 --> 00:51:11,710
know the enemy, let's go take a
break from our digital partners
963
00:51:11,710 --> 00:51:15,430
and Main Street Pharmacy.
I can probably save you a lot of
964
00:51:15,430 --> 00:51:17,350
money and I can take a lot
better care of you.
965
00:51:17,910 --> 00:51:20,750
That's pretty much it.
My name is Jeremy Counts and I'm
966
00:51:20,750 --> 00:51:22,990
a pharmacist.
I want to operate Main Street
967
00:51:22,990 --> 00:51:24,470
Pharmacy here in downtown
Blacksburg.
968
00:51:24,950 --> 00:51:26,710
My brother's A pharmacist.
I'm a pharmacist.
969
00:51:26,710 --> 00:51:28,430
My uncle's A pharmacist.
My dad's a pharmacist.
970
00:51:28,670 --> 00:51:31,630
I remember he would give me M
and M's to count in little pill
971
00:51:31,630 --> 00:51:33,470
counters.
This is something I've always
972
00:51:33,470 --> 00:51:37,350
done, and I'm just lucky that
what I know so well is something
973
00:51:37,350 --> 00:51:39,830
that I can do and feel good
about it and get back to people.
974
00:51:40,630 --> 00:51:42,350
Pharmacies are your frontline
defense.
975
00:51:42,510 --> 00:51:45,310
Pharmacy's job is to make sure
you're getting optimal care.
976
00:51:45,470 --> 00:51:49,030
For the lowest price possible.
Also, we take the pressure off
977
00:51:49,110 --> 00:51:51,150
of emergency rooms.
I'll tell people immediately
978
00:51:51,150 --> 00:51:52,950
when they need to go to the
doctor, or I'll tell them if
979
00:51:52,950 --> 00:51:54,550
they just need a cream over the
counter.
980
00:51:54,890 --> 00:51:57,570
If there's something that isn't
commercially available, if it's
981
00:51:57,570 --> 00:52:00,250
something that's not available
in a certain strength or a
982
00:52:00,250 --> 00:52:02,970
certain form or anything like
that, we'll make it tailor made
983
00:52:02,970 --> 00:52:04,730
medications.
Some of those options save
984
00:52:04,730 --> 00:52:06,610
people a lot of money.
What motivates me?
985
00:52:06,690 --> 00:52:09,450
I get to take care of people and
limit Blacksburg, I thought.
986
00:52:09,450 --> 00:52:13,770
Neat.
As we take a quick break, we'd

993
00:52:32,810 --> 00:52:36,930
Now back to the episode.
Alrighty, and we are back, and
994
00:52:36,930 --> 00:52:41,240
it is time for know the enemy.
As we take a look at the Florida
995
00:52:41,240 --> 00:52:46,040
State Seminoles where the Hokies
will take on them 330 ABC
996
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,120
national prime time game there
boys on Saturday afternoon which
997
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,040
is tally got baseball tournament
this weekend.
998
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:53,440
No.
We off.
999
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:59,800
I don't know I might not need to
watch this shit we're doing good
1000
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:00,760
with.
Hey, watch this.
1001
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,880
Yeah, watch it.
That don't matter. 330ABC at the
1002
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,200
doke.
Let's start with the offense, as
1003
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,320
we always do.
Brian.
1004
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,720
Let's talk about this scheme of
Alex Atkins.
1005
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,840
Yeah, it's that that spread
RPO's got a lot of Prostyle
1006
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,320
elements in it.
They run a mostly 11 and 12
1007
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,640
personnel, heavy dose of 11, but
they'll occasionally go 12,
1008
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:27,960
especially in, you know those
those running situations in
1009
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,000
terms of the running game, they
like to get you a lot of outside
1010
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,920
zone encounter.
They also use the quarterback a
1011
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,000
really good, good amount.
You're going to see a heavy dose
1012
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,480
of Jordan Travis in this game.
They like to use a lot of
1013
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,920
motion, get favorable matchups
in the passing game, use that to
1014
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:47,200
confuse the the linebackers and
in defensive lineman in terms of
1015
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,520
the gap responsibilities.
So that's what to expect from
1016
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,240
the offense, yeah.
And the first player we'll talk
1017
00:53:54,240 --> 00:53:57,440
about is the one who's leading
the charge, Jordan Travis, the
1018
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,920
quarterback giving a little
background on him.
1019
00:54:00,490 --> 00:54:04,490
Listed as dual threat
quarterback 62, about 185.
1020
00:54:06,090 --> 00:54:10,890
He's from North Palm Beach, FL.
So Florida boy went to the
1021
00:54:10,890 --> 00:54:13,330
Benjamin school.
Don't know a lot of people that
1022
00:54:13,330 --> 00:54:15,850
have went there, but that's
where he went to high school.
1023
00:54:16,250 --> 00:54:19,730
Out of high school he was ranked
about an 85 composite 3 star
1024
00:54:21,330 --> 00:54:27,370
dual threat athlete.
Looks like he was 800 and 89th
1025
00:54:27,370 --> 00:54:34,690
in the nation back then.
Out of high school he had, he
1026
00:54:34,690 --> 00:54:38,490
had offers from Louisville where
he committed to and went, but
1027
00:54:38,490 --> 00:54:43,090
we'll get into that.
Other big ones was Georgia,
1028
00:54:44,010 --> 00:54:49,490
North Carolina, you know, then
he had some small stuff like
1029
00:54:49,490 --> 00:54:53,210
Rutgers or I say small stuff,
but other smaller schools,
1030
00:54:53,770 --> 00:54:59,210
Rutgers, Southern Miss, UCF.
He did ended up, he did end up
1031
00:54:59,210 --> 00:55:04,050
going to a committee and going
to Louisville or he transferred
1032
00:55:04,170 --> 00:55:10,570
to Florida State a year later.
And I don't think he really
1033
00:55:10,570 --> 00:55:12,850
needs the introduction on what
he's been able to do at Florida
1034
00:55:12,850 --> 00:55:15,050
State.
He's been lighting it up.
1035
00:55:15,170 --> 00:55:19,530
I mean he can, he can run it.
He can throw it right now just
1036
00:55:19,530 --> 00:55:24,410
to give a couple of stats that
he has just a second.
1037
00:55:25,710 --> 00:55:27,990
Got it pulled up here.
Couple of stats that he has,
1038
00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:36,030
he's got 1028 yards passing this
year, completion rate of about
1039
00:55:36,030 --> 00:55:40,630
61.
He's got 10 touchdowns and one
1040
00:55:40,630 --> 00:55:43,070
interception.
So he's not turning the ball
1041
00:55:43,070 --> 00:55:47,910
over a lot or hardly at all
right now rushing the ball.
1042
00:55:47,910 --> 00:55:49,710
He's carried the ball about 23
times.
1043
00:55:49,710 --> 00:55:54,070
It says he's got 94 yards, 2
touchdowns.
1044
00:55:54,570 --> 00:55:58,090
Brian, what you got on him?
Yeah, I mean he's he's one of
1045
00:55:58,090 --> 00:56:00,650
the better overall quarterbacks
in the country at this point.
1046
00:56:01,970 --> 00:56:05,970
I'd probably put him at least in
kind of that top five,
1047
00:56:05,970 --> 00:56:09,130
definitely top ten in terms of
quarterbacks in the country
1048
00:56:09,730 --> 00:56:12,410
delivers a good and accurate
ball, can really threaten you
1049
00:56:12,410 --> 00:56:15,370
all over the field.
We can throw a deep, pretty
1050
00:56:15,370 --> 00:56:16,810
accurate in the intermediate
game.
1051
00:56:16,890 --> 00:56:20,010
Really good improvisation.
Like I'd say, that's off the
1052
00:56:20,010 --> 00:56:23,050
charts for him in terms of what
he can do when a play breaks
1053
00:56:23,050 --> 00:56:25,770
down.
Whether that's running it or,
1054
00:56:26,290 --> 00:56:29,370
you know, kind of throwing it
off off the off the podium there
1055
00:56:29,370 --> 00:56:33,290
a little bit.
So elite rush stability doesn't
1056
00:56:33,330 --> 00:56:36,170
run the ball a ton, but when he
does, he's very effective with
1057
00:56:36,170 --> 00:56:39,650
it and definitely the scariest
player on that offense overall.
1058
00:56:41,050 --> 00:56:45,490
Shown any sort of more deep
statistics to talk about Jordan
1059
00:56:45,490 --> 00:56:49,250
Travis with?
I would say the biggest thing,
1060
00:56:49,250 --> 00:56:50,770
obviously is just his
experience.
1061
00:56:50,810 --> 00:56:52,450
I mean, he's been in college for
six years.
1062
00:56:52,450 --> 00:56:59,050
Now he has. 1010 career drop
backs, obviously 5th year Forest
1063
00:56:59,050 --> 00:57:01,050
State.
He's gotten better join speaking
1064
00:57:01,050 --> 00:57:04,370
every year if you look at just
his grades and that's not
1065
00:57:04,370 --> 00:57:06,650
necessarily just you know a
reflection of his his actual
1066
00:57:06,650 --> 00:57:09,330
play but you can tell the stats
kind of back up you know how
1067
00:57:09,330 --> 00:57:14,370
good he is.
This one thing I did notice he
1068
00:57:14,370 --> 00:57:17,490
has the fourth lowest adjusted
completion percentage in the
1069
00:57:17,490 --> 00:57:20,210
ACC.
So for all of his accolades and
1070
00:57:20,210 --> 00:57:21,610
honestly, you know he's got so
many.
1071
00:57:22,780 --> 00:57:25,020
Accuracy has not been
necessarily, you would say,
1072
00:57:25,020 --> 00:57:28,220
great.
He also has the lowest
1073
00:57:28,220 --> 00:57:31,580
percentage of pressures
converted into sacks.
1074
00:57:31,580 --> 00:57:34,740
So basically what that means is
when Florida State, even when
1075
00:57:34,740 --> 00:57:37,340
Florida State gives up pressure,
he does not get sacked.
1076
00:57:37,740 --> 00:57:41,500
So that could be sort of a luck
stat, but it could also be the
1077
00:57:41,500 --> 00:57:44,300
fact that he's able to escape
pressure pretty easily and, you
1078
00:57:44,300 --> 00:57:45,580
know, can also move around a
little bit.
1079
00:57:45,580 --> 00:57:47,140
So take that for what it's
worth.
1080
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,600
All righty.
So there's Jordan Travis,
1081
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,920
obviously, I think it's the name
every single person knows.
1082
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,840
I got a feeling just about every
name we talk about here today,
1083
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,920
everybody's probably going to
already know it and that makes
1084
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,040
the next guy very easy.
That's Keyon Coleman.
1085
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,840
Keyon Coleman, 6 foot four, ��215
wide receiver, originally
1086
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:11,920
committed and playing for the
Michigan State Spartans where he
1087
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,320
got some definitely some run
last year before he came in the
1088
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,800
portal.
His original He was a top 500
1089
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:24,160
player, a consensus 4 star down
there, and so far this year just
1090
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:29,520
that line straight up. 17
receptions, 256, six touchdowns
1091
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,560
tells me every 3rd ball that man
catches, he's getting
1092
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,360
touchdowns.
Brian, what are you selling on
1093
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,320
him?
Yeah, I mean, the thing about
1094
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,440
with him, he he's, I think
they're most dangerous overall
1095
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,600
wide receiver in terms of just
scoring potential there.
1096
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,360
Has the ability to beat you
deep, but what he's really good
1097
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,560
at and what they've used a lot,
he's a red zone threat.
1098
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,600
I'm good at using his body to
position and high point.
1099
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:59,560
The ball went in the red area.
You know, he's able to get get
1100
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,120
in the end zone very
efficiently.
1101
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,200
All right, Sheldon, I know
you've got some more deeper
1102
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,920
stats on him.
What's some more deeper stats
1103
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,600
than just that?
17 for 256 and six touchdowns.
1104
00:59:11,730 --> 00:59:12,690
Yeah.
Give me a SEC.
1105
00:59:12,690 --> 00:59:13,490
I'm.
I'm gonna.
1106
00:59:13,570 --> 00:59:17,250
I'm gonna put up right here.
I know that the receivers have
1107
00:59:17,250 --> 00:59:20,730
graded out pretty well.
I'm.
1108
00:59:20,890 --> 00:59:21,770
Just.
Pulling it up.
1109
00:59:22,010 --> 00:59:23,530
You're good.
Well, coming out of college, let
1110
00:59:23,530 --> 00:59:26,650
me just coming out of high
school, He's from Louisiana,
1111
00:59:26,930 --> 00:59:28,610
excuse me.
Yeah, he's from Louisiana.
1112
00:59:29,130 --> 00:59:32,450
And I mean, when he came out,
you talked about the offer list
1113
00:59:32,770 --> 00:59:35,570
tally for, you know, Jordan,
which is pretty solid.
1114
00:59:35,930 --> 00:59:38,050
I mean, he went to Michigan
State, but Baylor?
1115
00:59:38,130 --> 00:59:39,830
Auburn.
Georgia.
1116
00:59:39,830 --> 00:59:42,390
Florida State originally had an
offshore state.
1117
00:59:42,470 --> 00:59:47,030
He was one of those who are like
when Dion was there, was getting
1118
00:59:47,030 --> 00:59:51,270
recruited by Jackson State.
So it wasn't like he wasn't a
1119
00:59:51,270 --> 00:59:55,590
known, he just went up north.
Let's just not talk about
1120
00:59:55,590 --> 00:59:57,630
actually held a Virginia Tech
offer as well.
1121
00:59:57,630 --> 01:00:03,470
So you know, to be a guy of
where he is, where he was rated,
1122
01:00:03,670 --> 01:00:06,710
you know, good player.
We always look at offer sheets,
1123
01:00:06,710 --> 01:00:08,400
right?
And Shelton getting this stuff
1124
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,800
up and there's sometimes you sit
here and wander like this guy's
1125
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,680
getting all these officer, all
these programs.
1126
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,560
How is he just barely a four
stars?
1127
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,000
How is he is a three star?
Especially if you look at Keon
1128
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,240
Cohen's body coming out, he was
already like 6 foot ��495.
1129
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,320
That's the stuff I don't get.
And I know some of it.
1130
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,840
You know, Brian and you and
Shelton, we all talk about,
1131
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,160
well, some of it is they're just
the best athlete on the field
1132
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,270
where they play.
It's just there's no one else in
1133
01:00:35,270 --> 01:00:36,790
there.
So there's some people that are
1134
01:00:36,790 --> 01:00:39,190
hesitant to give them a
significant bump.
1135
01:00:39,790 --> 01:00:43,790
And then sometimes it's just
like, well, you know, he doesn't
1136
01:00:43,790 --> 01:00:46,110
do anything great.
He's not a crisp route runner.
1137
01:00:46,470 --> 01:00:48,310
You know, he doesn't have a
blazing speed.
1138
01:00:48,310 --> 01:00:53,830
So it's just interesting to see
that many offers but you know,
1139
01:00:54,070 --> 01:00:57,830
not the high rating.
Because the people who's given
1140
01:00:57,830 --> 01:01:03,000
the ratings are essentially.
Me, a guy sitting behind a
1141
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,840
computer doing nothing.
I mean, the people who are going
1142
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,240
out and offering scholarships
are people who know what an
1143
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:14,400
offense looks like, know what a
player that they can develop and
1144
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,280
put into that offense.
And you know, looking at a
1145
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,000
player and say, oh, I can use
him to run Jet Sweep with, I can
1146
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,520
use him to, you know, beat the
defense.
1147
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,920
Like that's why you're getting
offers and maybe you're not
1148
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,120
getting rankings, because the
rankings sometimes just have to
1149
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:34,300
do with what camp should go to.
And what amount of money you
1150
01:01:34,300 --> 01:01:38,660
spend to get that ranking.
So that's why those rankings
1151
01:01:38,660 --> 01:01:41,860
sometimes are skewed.
You good to go, Sheldon.
1152
01:01:42,860 --> 01:01:46,700
Yeah, so nothing super eye
popping about Coleman and just
1153
01:01:46,700 --> 01:01:50,060
in terms of kind of the overall
stats averages about 15 yards to
1154
01:01:50,060 --> 01:01:52,460
catch 6 touchdowns.
Like you said, the one thing he
1155
01:01:52,460 --> 01:01:54,420
does really well is he is
shorthanded.
1156
01:01:54,420 --> 01:01:58,060
He does not have a single drop
this year in 17 receptions.
1157
01:01:59,100 --> 01:02:01,410
Name.
That's pretty good, right?
1158
01:02:02,330 --> 01:02:04,610
He's dropping one Saturday.
Thank you.
1159
01:02:04,850 --> 01:02:07,370
Write it down OK.
Well, you know how when somebody
1160
01:02:07,370 --> 01:02:08,890
shoot.
Well, you know how when somebody
1161
01:02:08,890 --> 01:02:11,370
shooting free throws and then
the the commentator goes and
1162
01:02:11,370 --> 01:02:14,290
goes he hadn't missed the free
throw in 99 attempts.
1163
01:02:14,690 --> 01:02:17,010
He misses that next one.
Thank you, Sheldon.
1164
01:02:17,210 --> 01:02:20,250
We might.
Get that up, it's.
1165
01:02:20,250 --> 01:02:21,850
All record, it's all record.
We're good.
1166
01:02:21,850 --> 01:02:25,410
It's all record the first inside
slant he runs with no safety
1167
01:02:25,410 --> 01:02:26,730
over the top.
He's going to break it.
1168
01:02:26,730 --> 01:02:29,520
Watch.
All right, let's go to his the
1169
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,240
opposite side of the field.
Let's talk about Johnny Wilson.
1170
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:37,360
Johnny Wilson was a top 120
player coming out of high
1171
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,440
school.
He is from Calabasas, CA.
1172
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:43,760
Class of 2020, originally
committed to the Arizona State
1173
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:45,960
Sun Devils when her was over
there.
1174
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:51,720
So far this season, You know
well the last couple seasons, I
1175
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:56,200
mean last season he went for
almost 900 yards, 20 yards a
1176
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:01,400
reception, which is pretty good.
And this year 303 yards on 16.
1177
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:05,160
No touchdowns though.
So definitely you would think
1178
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:10,480
it's 6 foot seven, ��225.00 that
he would be slightly more of a
1179
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,240
red zone target, but I guess
not.
1180
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,680
But Siegler, what's the what's
the tape?
1181
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,640
Why doesn't he have any
touchdowns?
1182
01:03:17,670 --> 01:03:20,830
He's kind of the classic big
slot guy, like, you know, you
1183
01:03:20,830 --> 01:03:23,870
see those big slot receivers
matchup nightmares.
1184
01:03:23,870 --> 01:03:28,630
He's that guy, but he's more of
that guy in the in the between
1185
01:03:28,630 --> 01:03:32,990
the 20s, right?
He's not really a burner, but
1186
01:03:32,990 --> 01:03:37,830
he's super shifty, moves really
well for his size, use him on a
1187
01:03:37,830 --> 01:03:41,990
lot of crossers, digs, seams.
So they're getting him up the
1188
01:03:41,990 --> 01:03:43,310
field.
They're not using him.
1189
01:03:44,070 --> 01:03:46,510
On like fades or anything like
that, even in the middle of the
1190
01:03:46,510 --> 01:03:48,390
field.
So you don't see that really
1191
01:03:48,390 --> 01:03:49,870
called in the red zone either
for him.
1192
01:03:49,870 --> 01:03:53,510
He's he's definitely eats kind
of in that intermediate middle
1193
01:03:53,510 --> 01:03:56,390
of the of the offense.
That's where they like to
1194
01:03:56,390 --> 01:04:00,190
attack.
And what do you got on him,
1195
01:04:00,230 --> 01:04:02,870
Sheldon?
Yeah, another solid player.
1196
01:04:02,870 --> 01:04:04,950
Again, nothing super
exceptional.
1197
01:04:05,390 --> 01:04:08,590
Average is about 19 yards per
catch, which is pretty good, and
1198
01:04:08,590 --> 01:04:12,790
he also ranks 27th in the Power
Five in terms of average depth
1199
01:04:12,790 --> 01:04:16,110
of target, about 16 yards.
So it did definitely a lot of
1200
01:04:16,110 --> 01:04:19,870
downfield routes for him, Yeah,
Makes sense when Brian says he
1201
01:04:19,870 --> 01:04:22,910
looks at tape and sees those
crossers, the digs in the seam,
1202
01:04:22,910 --> 01:04:26,670
so that that that's pretty good
to know that he is not going to
1203
01:04:26,670 --> 01:04:29,310
be, I think when you're planning
the defense, right?
1204
01:04:29,950 --> 01:04:31,630
OK, Wilson's not going to be up
on the line.
1205
01:04:32,690 --> 01:04:35,690
However you're going to play
him, whether it be bracket,
1206
01:04:35,690 --> 01:04:40,490
maybe a robber or take your
Best, and maybe Jenkins.
1207
01:04:40,490 --> 01:04:42,650
I mean, Brian could y'all see
Jenkins cover him.
1208
01:04:45,570 --> 01:04:49,410
Not all game, not all game.
Like I said, he moves pretty
1209
01:04:49,410 --> 01:04:54,170
well for a for a big guy.
All righty, let's talk about the
1210
01:04:54,170 --> 01:04:56,250
offensive line.
Next Brian and I want to talk
1211
01:04:56,250 --> 01:05:00,400
about one guy Cuz again in the
era of the transfer portal,
1212
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:05,080
these stories like this are
going to come up more and more
1213
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:10,000
and more and the highest graded
offensive lineman has been
1214
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,480
Blessed Harris or the the
highest for LSU and Clemson was
1215
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,800
blessed Harris.
He's from New Orleans, LA.
1216
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,840
He's from Saint Augustine.
He was the class of 2018 so
1217
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:25,800
everybody do that 181920212223
sixth year.
1218
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:29,630
Y'all know where he played his
ball for the first Four Seasons.
1219
01:05:30,870 --> 01:05:35,430
Where Lamar.
I know where Lamar is cuz I
1220
01:05:35,430 --> 01:05:36,670
don't.
Texas.
1221
01:05:37,230 --> 01:05:39,550
Texas.
Thank you, Shelton, with that.
1222
01:05:39,910 --> 01:05:41,710
Only cuz I have no life but.
Yeah.
1223
01:05:43,430 --> 01:05:45,750
Hey, I know where some schools
are, some schools I don't.
1224
01:05:46,190 --> 01:05:49,070
But he played there for Four
Seasons and then transfers to
1225
01:05:49,070 --> 01:05:52,230
Florida State and is clearly
tearing it up.
1226
01:05:52,590 --> 01:05:56,860
But Brian, let's talk about the
offensive line in general, not
1227
01:05:56,860 --> 01:05:59,140
just Bless.
What are you seeing from them?
1228
01:06:00,900 --> 01:06:03,500
Yeah, I mean I think the big
thing is that they're a good
1229
01:06:03,500 --> 01:06:05,300
offensive line, not a great
offensive line.
1230
01:06:05,300 --> 01:06:08,220
You would, you know, you think
with Florida states on the class
1231
01:06:08,220 --> 01:06:10,100
they brought in, they'd be a
little bit more stacked.
1232
01:06:10,100 --> 01:06:11,580
They're, they're good, not
great.
1233
01:06:12,620 --> 01:06:14,380
They occasionally struggle to
get to the second level of the
1234
01:06:14,380 --> 01:06:17,340
defense.
So you'll, you know potentially
1235
01:06:18,340 --> 01:06:21,300
you'll, you'll see more chunk
plays from their running backs
1236
01:06:21,300 --> 01:06:24,940
than necessarily those really
big gainers, those explosive
1237
01:06:24,940 --> 01:06:26,970
plays.
It's going to be kind of the
1238
01:06:26,970 --> 01:06:30,330
chunk plays like we saw against
Pitt last week there was 8 to 12
1239
01:06:30,330 --> 01:06:33,370
yards consistently.
That's where they kind of like
1240
01:06:33,370 --> 01:06:38,450
eating eat in the in the running
game is in that area have more
1241
01:06:38,450 --> 01:06:45,010
success with the quarterback
zone zone read keepers and they
1242
01:06:45,090 --> 01:06:47,570
they they do occasionally get
confused when you disguise the
1243
01:06:47,570 --> 01:06:49,210
pressure.
So that's some opportunity that
1244
01:06:49,210 --> 01:06:51,610
we may have there.
Getting in the backfield and
1245
01:06:51,610 --> 01:06:54,570
getting after Jordan Travis.
But as Shelton said that that
1246
01:06:54,570 --> 01:06:56,690
still you know, doesn't mean
that you're going to have
1247
01:06:56,690 --> 01:07:00,730
success because Travis is very
elusive in the backfield.
1248
01:07:01,330 --> 01:07:04,330
You're not going to get a lot of
lot of sacks against him, even
1249
01:07:04,330 --> 01:07:05,730
if you are getting in the
backfield.
1250
01:07:07,010 --> 01:07:09,170
So I know you told me you had
some more stuff on this
1251
01:07:09,170 --> 01:07:12,250
offensive line.
What's the data telling us?
1252
01:07:12,290 --> 01:07:14,370
Are they just an average
offensive line with an
1253
01:07:14,370 --> 01:07:19,910
exceptional eluding quarterback?
I would say a little bit of
1254
01:07:19,910 --> 01:07:21,470
both.
They're definitely, I would say
1255
01:07:21,470 --> 01:07:24,150
above average.
So you look at Bless Harris, he
1256
01:07:24,150 --> 01:07:28,590
has the best pass blocking grade
in the ACC according to PFF.
1257
01:07:29,070 --> 01:07:31,790
You got Darius Washington, the
center slash right tackle.
1258
01:07:31,790 --> 01:07:34,390
He's kind of been switched
around a little bit, 0 pressures
1259
01:07:34,390 --> 01:07:36,830
allowed and 68 pass rushing
opportunities.
1260
01:07:36,830 --> 01:07:42,150
So he's their highest credit OL.
And then, you know, you've also
1261
01:07:42,150 --> 01:07:45,590
got Maurice Smith at center.
Who's been actually pretty lowly
1262
01:07:45,590 --> 01:07:46,910
graded.
He's come back from injury,
1263
01:07:46,910 --> 01:07:49,310
missed a couple of games,
Jeremiah buyers.
1264
01:07:49,310 --> 01:07:50,350
The right title has not been
great.
1265
01:07:50,350 --> 01:07:53,430
He's a UTEP transfer.
So when you look at it, it's a
1266
01:07:53,430 --> 01:07:54,950
little bit of a patchwork
offensive line.
1267
01:07:55,350 --> 01:07:57,870
Obviously the the big thing that
Novell had to do when it came to
1268
01:07:57,870 --> 01:08:00,510
FSU is is revamp that offensive
line.
1269
01:08:00,510 --> 01:08:02,790
That was just atrocious under
under Taggart.
1270
01:08:02,790 --> 01:08:05,630
I think that was the biggest
reason that you saw Florida
1271
01:08:05,630 --> 01:08:07,590
State, Conn struggle his first
two years.
1272
01:08:07,590 --> 01:08:10,590
Kind of like Coach Prize doing
here at Virginia Tech now.
1273
01:08:11,220 --> 01:08:14,620
It is a very, very hard position
group to fix overnight.
1274
01:08:14,660 --> 01:08:17,020
And so they're they've been kind
of going through some growing
1275
01:08:17,020 --> 01:08:19,020
pains.
You take some guys from lower
1276
01:08:19,020 --> 01:08:22,020
levels, try to fit them in.
It's it's not always smooth.
1277
01:08:22,020 --> 01:08:23,819
So it's definitely good
offensive line.
1278
01:08:23,819 --> 01:08:27,140
I would say you look at some of
the passing stats there, 8th
1279
01:08:27,140 --> 01:08:30,620
nationally in EPA on passing
attempts.
1280
01:08:30,859 --> 01:08:33,540
So the pass protection has been
good.
1281
01:08:33,819 --> 01:08:35,819
Obviously Jordan, Travis has a
lot to do with that.
1282
01:08:36,180 --> 01:08:39,060
But overall, I would say it's
definitely.
1283
01:08:40,850 --> 01:08:42,770
It's definitely not off the line
that you think you might get
1284
01:08:42,770 --> 01:08:44,609
dominated by.
I think Travis really kind of
1285
01:08:44,609 --> 01:08:49,250
makes them, makes them click.
That makes a lot of sense there.
1286
01:08:49,649 --> 01:08:52,130
It makes a lot of sense there.
I mean, and I think we will
1287
01:08:52,130 --> 01:08:56,130
consider this is clearly the
best offense we will set seen
1288
01:08:56,170 --> 01:08:59,729
all season, the most dynamic
offense we've seen all season.
1289
01:08:59,729 --> 01:09:03,569
So as good as Chris Mark called
last weekend, he's got to
1290
01:09:03,569 --> 01:09:06,290
actually take it up a couple
levels this weekend to keep us
1291
01:09:06,290 --> 01:09:08,090
in this game.
I don't think any of us will
1292
01:09:08,090 --> 01:09:11,420
disagree with that.
Now let's switch to defense and
1293
01:09:11,420 --> 01:09:17,580
let's talk about the four three
defense, Brian, who's it led by?
1294
01:09:18,859 --> 01:09:21,180
Yeah, we got defensive
coordinator Adam Fuller.
1295
01:09:22,300 --> 01:09:24,819
It's a it's a four, three.
But they use a lot of hybrid
1296
01:09:24,819 --> 01:09:26,779
players, especially the front
seven there.
1297
01:09:27,979 --> 01:09:31,779
They've got that that Fox DN
position, that kind of stand up
1298
01:09:31,779 --> 01:09:34,500
defensive end and then they use
a hybrid linebacker.
1299
01:09:35,100 --> 01:09:37,660
You know, we call our star this
There's a stud.
1300
01:09:38,340 --> 01:09:41,260
A stud linebacker.
So that's what you can expect
1301
01:09:41,260 --> 01:09:43,819
from this defense, you know, 4,
three kind of standard.
1302
01:09:44,300 --> 01:09:45,700
You mean you call, you call it a
hybrid?
1303
01:09:45,700 --> 01:09:48,899
It could be, you know, leaning
to that 425 look, the way they
1304
01:09:48,899 --> 01:09:52,939
use that stud linebacker.
But yeah, it's not.
1305
01:09:52,939 --> 01:09:54,860
It's not something that we
haven't seen before.
1306
01:09:55,700 --> 01:09:57,740
Alrighty.
Yeah, when you talk about that
1307
01:09:58,300 --> 01:10:03,060
Fox defensive end and also talk
about the transfers coming from
1308
01:10:03,060 --> 01:10:05,860
lower levels like we've been
talking about, you got to throw
1309
01:10:05,860 --> 01:10:12,110
the name Jared Verse in there.
Jared Verse was a class of 2020
1310
01:10:12,110 --> 01:10:16,910
Nineteen guy and he played his
ball at Albany before he
1311
01:10:16,910 --> 01:10:20,190
transferred.
That's in Albany.
1312
01:10:20,190 --> 01:10:23,030
Great Danes, that's.
That's he plays.
1313
01:10:23,230 --> 01:10:26,710
Curtis, do that one.
He didn't even have a rating.
1314
01:10:26,830 --> 01:10:28,790
Coming out of high school, there
was no rating.
1315
01:10:29,630 --> 01:10:31,870
It says.
He had one offer, which was
1316
01:10:31,870 --> 01:10:35,630
Albany coming out of high
school, and he transferred to
1317
01:10:35,630 --> 01:10:40,380
Florida State.
Where he has been, and if you
1318
01:10:40,380 --> 01:10:44,380
just look at the stats, his
stats are not eye popping at
1319
01:10:44,380 --> 01:10:47,620
all.
I think he's got 11 tackles this
1320
01:10:47,620 --> 01:10:49,660
year.
He's got 11 tackles, half of a
1321
01:10:49,660 --> 01:10:54,420
sack.
Last year he had about 47
1322
01:10:54,420 --> 01:10:58,540
tackles and 9 sacks.
The reason that his stats are
1323
01:10:58,540 --> 01:11:01,340
not eye popping this year, it's
kind of like we talked about
1324
01:11:01,340 --> 01:11:04,020
before we came on.
People are running away from
1325
01:11:04,020 --> 01:11:06,010
him.
Don't let them stats fool you.
1326
01:11:06,010 --> 01:11:08,770
If you go watch him on tape, he
is very disruptive.
1327
01:11:08,890 --> 01:11:10,410
Brian, what you got on Jared
Burst?
1328
01:11:11,330 --> 01:11:14,730
Yeah, he's that Fox DN.
They use him to set the edge
1329
01:11:14,730 --> 01:11:19,650
rush the pastor on the on the
stunt looks usually in the stand
1330
01:11:19,650 --> 01:11:22,090
up position.
He will put his hand in the dirt
1331
01:11:22,090 --> 01:11:25,370
though.
Use him a lot to play games with
1332
01:11:25,370 --> 01:11:26,850
the alvens of line and
quarterback.
1333
01:11:27,410 --> 01:11:30,210
Get them confused, getting them
thinking, getting the
1334
01:11:30,210 --> 01:11:31,730
quarterback speed up a little
bit.
1335
01:11:32,770 --> 01:11:34,490
I mean he's all about
controlling the gap at the run
1336
01:11:34,490 --> 01:11:37,410
game versus penetrating.
He's not a guy that's going to,
1337
01:11:37,930 --> 01:11:39,930
you know, fly out field or
anything like that, but he's
1338
01:11:39,930 --> 01:11:43,170
going to hold his gap play
pretty, pretty sound technique
1339
01:11:44,530 --> 01:11:47,450
and he's really good at really
doing all those things.
1340
01:11:47,450 --> 01:11:50,850
Probably the best overall
defensive player arguably in the
1341
01:11:50,850 --> 01:11:53,290
conference.
Like you said, he doesn't
1342
01:11:53,290 --> 01:11:56,690
necessarily jump off of the stat
sheet, but when he's on the
1343
01:11:56,690 --> 01:12:01,050
field you you find him, he jumps
off the off the tape real quick.
1344
01:12:03,420 --> 01:12:06,820
Yeah, Boston College, when you
looked at that game, they
1345
01:12:06,860 --> 01:12:09,180
essentially had success running
away from him, getting the ball
1346
01:12:09,180 --> 01:12:13,900
outside of him, kind of taking
away his ability to impact the
1347
01:12:13,900 --> 01:12:16,460
running game.
And they will occasionally use
1348
01:12:16,460 --> 01:12:18,660
him in coverage.
They'll call some some zone
1349
01:12:18,660 --> 01:12:21,020
blitzes and he'll be out there
in the flats or covering a guy
1350
01:12:21,020 --> 01:12:23,980
one-on-one.
So look for that as well and
1351
01:12:23,980 --> 01:12:27,420
it's and it's funny because you
know Tally, you talked about him
1352
01:12:27,420 --> 01:12:30,170
being in Albany and again it's
that it's the portal thing.
1353
01:12:30,170 --> 01:12:32,930
We keep talking about it, we
keep talking about it, we keep
1354
01:12:32,930 --> 01:12:35,730
harping on it.
If you go look up right now, the
1355
01:12:35,730 --> 01:12:39,810
NFL draft Jared verse is going
to be taken really high next
1356
01:12:39,810 --> 01:12:43,490
year, really high.
So at all different levels
1357
01:12:43,490 --> 01:12:46,250
there, these guys just waiting,
go find them.
1358
01:12:46,410 --> 01:12:51,490
And you know, obviously, I think
with some of our coaches
1359
01:12:51,490 --> 01:12:54,250
especially like the Lackawanna
Connections and guys who have
1360
01:12:54,250 --> 01:12:57,570
coached all over the country
over their careers, we do have
1361
01:12:57,570 --> 01:13:00,510
that opportunity.
All right, Brian, I'm going to
1362
01:13:00,510 --> 01:13:03,230
pitch it to you next.
Let's talk about Kaylin Deloach,
1363
01:13:04,630 --> 01:13:11,790
linebacker, 6 foot 226 pounds
out of Savannah, GA and Allen's
1364
01:13:11,790 --> 01:13:14,070
high school.
Now he was an original commit to
1365
01:13:14,070 --> 01:13:17,670
Florida State back in 2019 and a
pretty highly rated, wasn't it,
1366
01:13:17,670 --> 01:13:21,870
That was the top 247 player,
Composite 91.
1367
01:13:22,310 --> 01:13:24,550
And I mean, look at his offer
list, it's unreal.
1368
01:13:24,550 --> 01:13:28,270
Florida State, Auburn, MI,
Alabama, Clemson SC.
1369
01:13:28,900 --> 01:13:32,020
I could go on and on and if you
take a look at some of the guys
1370
01:13:32,020 --> 01:13:37,380
that were his primary
recruiters, Kevin Steele, Don
1371
01:13:37,380 --> 01:13:39,420
Brown when he was a DC,
Michigan.
1372
01:13:39,780 --> 01:13:44,620
Pete Golden, the old DC Bama,
Brent Venables at Clemson, they
1373
01:13:44,620 --> 01:13:48,100
didn't put their trash on him.
They put their number one guys
1374
01:13:48,100 --> 01:13:51,940
to recruit this kid and Brian.
Tell us a little bit more about
1375
01:13:51,940 --> 01:13:53,630
Caitlin.
Yeah.
1376
01:13:53,630 --> 01:13:56,670
So he's going to be the second
hybrid player on this defense.
1377
01:13:56,670 --> 01:13:58,390
It's on this list that we're
talking about right now.
1378
01:13:58,390 --> 01:14:02,910
So he's the he's the stud
linebacker primarily aligns to
1379
01:14:03,030 --> 01:14:04,830
to the field side of the
formation.
1380
01:14:06,510 --> 01:14:10,710
A typical you know run like a
linebacker cover like a DB type
1381
01:14:10,710 --> 01:14:16,070
build that you like to see.
When he's on the nub side, he'll
1382
01:14:16,070 --> 01:14:21,300
be in the box and.
That likes to walk out on the
1383
01:14:21,300 --> 01:14:25,700
wide receiver playing that field
side and when he's lot, you
1384
01:14:25,700 --> 01:14:28,820
know, wide, he becomes a fourth,
fourth player in the defense and
1385
01:14:28,820 --> 01:14:31,540
they use him a lot heavy and
blitzes from that position.
1386
01:14:32,220 --> 01:14:34,140
But also he's really good in
coverage as well.
1387
01:14:35,180 --> 01:14:37,940
And he's having himself a really
good season, statistical wise,
1388
01:14:37,940 --> 01:14:44,140
to 17 total tackles, 10 solo, 3
sacks and another tackle and 1/2
1389
01:14:44,180 --> 01:14:48,410
for loss, along with a forced
fumble and a forced fumble
1390
01:14:48,410 --> 01:14:50,850
return for a touchdown, 56
yards.
1391
01:14:51,170 --> 01:14:52,930
Tells you the kid is super
athletic.
1392
01:14:52,930 --> 01:14:56,170
All right, we're going to hit
one more player on the defensive
1393
01:14:56,170 --> 01:15:02,210
side of the ball, and that is a
here Thomas the defensive back,
1394
01:15:03,330 --> 01:15:05,650
another straight up Florida
State player.
1395
01:15:05,650 --> 01:15:07,770
And this kid is one of these
elites.
1396
01:15:07,770 --> 01:15:11,800
He's a class of 2022.
He was a top 100 player.
1397
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,440
He rated at a 96.
Same way you look at his offer
1398
01:15:15,440 --> 01:15:19,360
list, it's all over the place.
It's just about every school you
1399
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,000
can think of.
He was a stud coming out of high
1400
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:25,720
school and obviously if we're
mentioning it here, he's been in
1401
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:29,480
college for what, two years and
he's already making a pretty big
1402
01:15:29,480 --> 01:15:31,800
impact.
Brian, what do you got to take
1403
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:37,000
about this 6 foot, 280 plus
pound defensive back?
1404
01:15:38,190 --> 01:15:40,590
Yeah, he lines up as their field
corner primarily.
1405
01:15:41,030 --> 01:15:43,710
He's really the best cover
corner on the team.
1406
01:15:43,710 --> 01:15:48,110
There's really not a close
comparison, Holds up really well
1407
01:15:48,110 --> 01:15:52,590
in man, end zone, willing
tackler, nothing to write home
1408
01:15:52,590 --> 01:15:54,270
about.
But you know he's not afraid to
1409
01:15:54,470 --> 01:15:56,870
get his head in there and and
and get guys down in the run
1410
01:15:56,870 --> 01:15:59,950
game.
Sometimes I'd say he's too
1411
01:15:59,950 --> 01:16:04,110
reliant on his instincts, but
when they pay off, he's in there
1412
01:16:04,110 --> 01:16:07,230
making a big play, whether it's
a breakup.
1413
01:16:07,550 --> 01:16:09,390
Getting an interception,
whatever it may be.
1414
01:16:09,390 --> 01:16:12,750
He does a really good job of
trusting his instincts and and
1415
01:16:12,750 --> 01:16:14,950
making those type of plays very
nice.
1416
01:16:14,990 --> 01:16:16,710
Yeah, and you talk about the
past breakups.
1417
01:16:16,710 --> 01:16:19,110
He's already got four and four
games this year, so he is
1418
01:16:19,110 --> 01:16:22,150
definitely Johnny on the spot.
Sheldon, you've got a couple
1419
01:16:22,350 --> 01:16:25,070
data points you want to give
about this defense in general.
1420
01:16:25,710 --> 01:16:27,990
What is some of the deeper data
points telling us?
1421
01:16:29,110 --> 01:16:32,470
Sure.
So the biggest red flag for for
1422
01:16:32,470 --> 01:16:36,190
the state they ranked 111th and
Rush Defense EPA.
1423
01:16:36,190 --> 01:16:38,330
So.
They had a pretty porous rush
1424
01:16:38,410 --> 01:16:43,370
defense overall.
Now their past defense, which
1425
01:16:43,370 --> 01:16:45,610
I'm looking at the numbers here,
is much better.
1426
01:16:45,610 --> 01:16:48,410
Their 21st and past defense,
just the the EPA.
1427
01:16:48,410 --> 01:16:52,490
So the analytical stuff.
So run defense is good or excuse
1428
01:16:52,530 --> 01:16:54,330
me, run defense is poor, Pass
defense is very good.
1429
01:16:54,370 --> 01:16:56,610
I think the biggest thing that
stuck out to me when looking at
1430
01:16:56,610 --> 01:17:01,370
Florida State, they are not
elite at really anything, but
1431
01:17:01,370 --> 01:17:03,050
they're pretty much good at
everything.
1432
01:17:03,530 --> 01:17:06,410
So I think that's to me that's a
testament of coaching.
1433
01:17:06,410 --> 01:17:08,810
Like when you look across the
board there's nothing that they
1434
01:17:08,810 --> 01:17:11,690
really dominate but they're just
consistently thought of almost
1435
01:17:11,690 --> 01:17:14,970
every position group and every,
every unit.
1436
01:17:14,970 --> 01:17:18,450
It's just it's it's not it's a
team that that just doesn't have
1437
01:17:18,450 --> 01:17:21,170
a lot of holes.
So and you can you can tell why
1438
01:17:21,170 --> 01:17:23,370
they're so successful.
They just, they just do
1439
01:17:23,370 --> 01:17:26,490
everything pretty, pretty solid
and that's why they're they're
1440
01:17:26,490 --> 01:17:29,760
so tough to be.
Yeah, in, in, in Shelton, you
1441
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,920
looked at some of the deeper
data and I looked at some of the
1442
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,720
old school data.
The yards are true.
1443
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,360
They are 95th in the country in
total defense.
1444
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,920
They are giving up about 400
yards a game.
1445
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:47,200
And then you take a look at
scoring defense, 52nd, 3rd down,
1446
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,080
conversion, 49th.
That's middle of the pack.
1447
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:52,560
There are two places they excel,
though, that I consider
1448
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:53,560
excelling.
It's in their top.
1449
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,880
They're in the top 20 Sachs per
game, obviously.
1450
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:58,640
Jared Verse, you mentioned him
there.
1451
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,400
Couple other good players and
the other one is red Zone D They
1452
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:08,760
are in the top 20 in that they
are giving up less touchdowns or
1453
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:12,160
they're giving up less red zone
scores than by 11 out of 17.
1454
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,360
So that means you get down
there, it's not guaranteed.
1455
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,360
And if you take a look at the
sack numbers, it kind of makes
1456
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:20,440
sense also with the turnover
numbers as well.
1457
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,900
All righty boys, we're going to
get into the keys now and I'm
1458
01:18:25,140 --> 01:18:28,340
going to pitch to each one of
y'all because I think we are
1459
01:18:28,340 --> 01:18:31,340
consensus on this.
For the Hokies to win this game,
1460
01:18:31,340 --> 01:18:32,740
it's going to have to be a
perfect game.
1461
01:18:33,700 --> 01:18:37,780
Florida State is a elite.
I mean, this year, an elite
1462
01:18:37,780 --> 01:18:39,420
team.
Do they have some flaws?
1463
01:18:39,420 --> 01:18:44,140
Yeah, they do.
So Tally, I'm going to pitch to
1464
01:18:44,140 --> 01:18:47,460
you first.
What is one of the Hokie key of
1465
01:18:47,460 --> 01:18:50,300
the biggest Hokie key for you?
For me, I'll say just getting
1466
01:18:50,300 --> 01:18:52,750
drones in space.
You know, letting him be
1467
01:18:52,750 --> 01:18:59,550
himself, you know, get roll out
the pocket RPO's, bootlegs,
1468
01:18:59,910 --> 01:19:03,270
they're going to have to move
that that pocket around because
1469
01:19:03,630 --> 01:19:05,590
he's going to have pressure
coming from everywhere.
1470
01:19:06,470 --> 01:19:08,670
So that's going to be my biggest
key.
1471
01:19:08,670 --> 01:19:10,550
All right, Sheldon, what about
you?
1472
01:19:13,710 --> 01:19:18,870
Man, I would say stay on
schedule.
1473
01:19:20,070 --> 01:19:23,510
Florida State is just again look
at the numbers here.
1474
01:19:23,870 --> 01:19:26,630
So they are actually not great
defensively on 1st and 2nd down
1475
01:19:26,630 --> 01:19:30,590
in terms of success rate.
So if you can, you know stay
1476
01:19:30,590 --> 01:19:33,110
ahead of the stakes, get them on
1st and 2nd, you know that'll
1477
01:19:33,110 --> 01:19:36,630
set you up in a good spot.
I think for me, you know people
1478
01:19:36,630 --> 01:19:40,990
often talk about third down
conversion percentage and well I
1479
01:19:40,990 --> 01:19:43,550
do think it's a valuable stat.
I think it's a lot, a lot of
1480
01:19:43,550 --> 01:19:46,390
times disinterpreted.
The the teams that the best
1481
01:19:46,390 --> 01:19:49,310
teams, the best offices are the
ones that are successful on 1st
1482
01:19:49,310 --> 01:19:51,190
and 2nd down.
It's not about third down.
1483
01:19:51,510 --> 01:19:53,990
You want to avoid third down.
You want to be successful on 1st
1484
01:19:53,990 --> 01:19:59,070
and 2nd so you can set yourself
up ideally for you know easier
1485
01:19:59,070 --> 01:20:01,430
third downs.
So that's one area where firstly
1486
01:20:01,430 --> 01:20:03,190
struggles.
I think if tech can, you know,
1487
01:20:04,430 --> 01:20:06,750
get the running in going and and
be successful in those really
1488
01:20:06,750 --> 01:20:08,390
downs, they'll be in a pretty
good spot.
1489
01:20:10,030 --> 01:20:14,140
Ron, what about you?
Yeah, I think the big thing for
1490
01:20:14,140 --> 01:20:18,780
me is forced turnovers against
this team.
1491
01:20:18,780 --> 01:20:22,940
If we can force them to turn the
ball over, then I think that's
1492
01:20:22,940 --> 01:20:24,780
going to set us up and put us in
a good position.
1493
01:20:24,780 --> 01:20:27,340
They haven't really turned the
ball over that much all season.
1494
01:20:27,980 --> 01:20:30,740
3 total turnovers.
I think we need to get two in
1495
01:20:30,740 --> 01:20:34,420
this game to really have a
chance to be competitive as we
1496
01:20:34,420 --> 01:20:37,340
get down the stretch there in
the in the fourth quarter so we
1497
01:20:37,340 --> 01:20:40,190
can turn them over twice.
We can put ourselves to be
1498
01:20:40,190 --> 01:20:42,390
competitive towards the end.
If not, it might be a long
1499
01:20:42,390 --> 01:20:45,470
contest.
It might be if that's the case,
1500
01:20:45,470 --> 01:20:47,350
and I'm going to kind of
piggyback, and this is both on
1501
01:20:47,350 --> 01:20:49,630
the desensive side of this is on
the defensive side of the ball
1502
01:20:49,630 --> 01:20:52,710
as well.
Keep them in front of you, keep
1503
01:20:52,710 --> 01:20:55,390
them in front of you.
They are obviously a big pass
1504
01:20:55,390 --> 01:20:57,390
play team.
You can see with Coleman's
1505
01:20:57,390 --> 01:20:59,630
numbers, you can see with the
averages, like Shelton talked
1506
01:20:59,630 --> 01:21:03,230
about there with Johnny Wilson
and where, how deep down the
1507
01:21:03,230 --> 01:21:06,350
field he's catching the ball,
you've got to force them to
1508
01:21:06,350 --> 01:21:10,110
drive.
It can't be one or two big plays
1509
01:21:10,110 --> 01:21:15,070
and they're in scoring range.
It's got to be 7-8 plays.
1510
01:21:15,070 --> 01:21:19,670
It's got to be 4 to 7 yards to
play, not ten to 15.
1511
01:21:20,710 --> 01:21:22,430
We've got to keep them in front
of us.
1512
01:21:22,430 --> 01:21:26,830
Now, you know, I also, you know
here in Shelton talk about some
1513
01:21:26,830 --> 01:21:28,350
of the stuff he's talked about
too.
1514
01:21:29,710 --> 01:21:32,510
And knowing that some of their
data is they do have some
1515
01:21:32,510 --> 01:21:35,510
struggles.
How tough is it going to be?
1516
01:21:35,510 --> 01:21:38,520
What are we going to have to do?
Because I'm one of these.
1517
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,440
This is this goes back to the
old days of Georgia Tech.
1518
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:44,560
I I I'd rather live by death
from 1000 cuts and just get
1519
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,400
bludgeoned real quick.
Give me some hope.
1520
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,880
Give me some hope.
Keep the explosive plays away.
1521
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:51,720
All righty.
What?
1522
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,920
We're going to have our
predictions and let's talk big
1523
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,920
screeners, which is presented by
Prize picks.
1524
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,760
Big screeners always presented
by prize picks Prize picks is a

daily fantasy app where you make
entries based on player
1526
01:22:03,480 --> 01:22:07,840
projected outcomes.
Last Week 2 for two Sam Laporta
1527
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:11,840
over 42 1/2 yards and Justin
Jefferson with touchdowns.
1528
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:16,720
My 2 plays This week I stick
home with my 49ers George Kettle
1529
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:19,520
against the Cowboys over 39 1/2
yards.
1530
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:23,240
They can be worried more about
Debo and I uke and Travis Kelsey
1531
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,560
versus the worst passing defense
in the league.
1532
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:28,960
Get him a touchdown versus the
Vikings.
1533
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,400
Yes, we're trying to get on the
Taylor Swift train as well
1534
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:33,200
because it brings more viewers
at least.
1535
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:35,760
That's why not Swifties are
welcome here.

Last week, Brian and Tally did
1542
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,480
not have good weeks.
Hang ahead and shame me and
1543
01:23:00,480 --> 01:23:02,440
Shelton ended.
I ain't had a good week all
1544
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:06,310
year.
Brian 1/4 and 1, tally 1/4 and
1545
01:23:06,310 --> 01:23:08,910
1.
Shelton leading last week for
1546
01:23:08,910 --> 01:23:12,510
one and one and I was at 3, two
and one.
1547
01:23:12,550 --> 01:23:15,910
Brian put three.
I thought we had to hook on the
1548
01:23:15,910 --> 01:23:19,030
Louisville game, the half which
would have gave us some wins,
1549
01:23:19,030 --> 01:23:23,350
but Brian did not.
So is what it is.
1550
01:23:23,350 --> 01:23:24,910
So.
We'll talk talk you a little
1551
01:23:24,950 --> 01:23:28,750
early.
You did, you called it Tally.
1552
01:23:29,150 --> 01:23:32,270
We'll start with you.
What's your prediction on the
1553
01:23:32,270 --> 01:23:34,430
hokey game?
And you know, since we're doing
1554
01:23:34,430 --> 01:23:37,350
a point spread, what's point
spread for the hokey game run
1555
01:23:37,430 --> 01:23:43,350
right now?
25 When we picked it was a. 2424
1556
01:23:43,670 --> 01:23:47,430
OK, so tally who wins, What's
the score and do the hokeys
1557
01:23:47,430 --> 01:23:49,790
cover?
I got the I got the hokeys
1558
01:23:49,790 --> 01:23:53,750
covering in this game, I think.
I think I'm right at what,
1559
01:23:53,870 --> 01:23:57,070
404221?
Something like that.
1560
01:23:58,270 --> 01:24:01,590
I got the hokeys covering but.
Florida State taking it if you
1561
01:24:01,590 --> 01:24:03,950
go on money line.
All right.
1562
01:24:03,950 --> 01:24:08,390
Brian, what about you?
I'm right there with Tally.
1563
01:24:08,390 --> 01:24:12,030
I've got the the Seminoles
winning.
1564
01:24:12,030 --> 01:24:15,510
I got the Hokies covering.
I think it's going to be closer
1565
01:24:15,510 --> 01:24:18,270
than a lot of people think.
I think we're going to get a
1566
01:24:18,270 --> 01:24:21,310
couple things that go our way.
I think we're going to let let
1567
01:24:21,310 --> 01:24:24,150
our nuts hang as a staff and as
a team a little bit.
1568
01:24:24,790 --> 01:24:26,830
Put it all out there.
Because why not?
1569
01:24:26,910 --> 01:24:31,680
It's FSU.
But I think, I think it's going
1570
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:34,880
to be around A3828 win for the
Seminoles.
1571
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:36,960
All right, tell them.
What about you?
1572
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:41,760
Give me the Hokies.
I just got a gut feel they might
1573
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:43,400
get a late touchdown back door
cover.
1574
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:45,160
I'll.
I'll take the Hokies.
1575
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:50,280
All righty FSU winning, though,
right?
1576
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:52,960
Or Hokies winning.
Yeah.
1577
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:53,760
FSU winning.
Yes.
1578
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:54,440
Yes.
OK, OK.
1579
01:24:54,480 --> 01:24:59,260
OK, I don't want people to be
screaming at you next week.
1580
01:24:59,260 --> 01:25:01,140
You said the hoagies are going
to win like.
1581
01:25:02,700 --> 01:25:04,860
We already had that week one
guys.
1582
01:25:04,860 --> 01:25:09,820
We had that week 1, All right, I
am with y'all.
1583
01:25:09,820 --> 01:25:11,740
I think FSU is going to win the
game.
1584
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:14,860
I've got 4127, so I do have BT
covered.
1585
01:25:15,180 --> 01:25:18,180
I think it's going to be a more
exciting game.
1586
01:25:19,260 --> 01:25:20,780
I think it's going to be one of
those games.
1587
01:25:20,780 --> 01:25:23,380
We're going to the fourth
quarter, We're going to be down
1588
01:25:23,380 --> 01:25:28,900
like 10, maybe 14 and and
they're going to put us away.
1589
01:25:28,900 --> 01:25:31,460
But we're going to probably
spring back and get one
1590
01:25:31,460 --> 01:25:33,700
additional score to make it look
a little bit better than what it
1591
01:25:33,700 --> 01:25:36,780
should be.
This is like a litmus test game,
1592
01:25:36,780 --> 01:25:38,420
right?
You're playing one of the best
1593
01:25:38,420 --> 01:25:40,540
teams in the country.
You're playing in their house.
1594
01:25:41,340 --> 01:25:44,100
How do you stack up?
How do you stack up?
1595
01:25:45,220 --> 01:25:51,460
I look forward to seeing it 3:30
on Saturday afternoon.
1596
01:25:51,460 --> 01:25:54,020
And now we've got our big
screeners, and I'm leaving this
1597
01:25:54,020 --> 01:25:57,360
one off because it's always I'm
not going to be able to see it
1598
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:58,880
because of course we've got
baseball.
1599
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:03,360
But the Red River Shootout?
Yes, the Red River Shootout.
1600
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:05,120
It's always be the Red River
Shootout.
1601
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:10,080
Never The Red River Rivalry.
Oklahoma, Texas, Texas, laying 6
1602
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:14,240
1/2 points and I'm going
Oklahoma 49.
1603
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,360
Nothing last year.
I think it's going to stick in
1604
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:18,720
Chris Venables head.
I, Brian, didn't change that
1605
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:20,280
shit.
I told you change that shit.
1606
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:21,840
Pay attention to the text
messages.
1607
01:26:22,550 --> 01:26:28,430
So Oklahoma plus 6 1/2.
I called his ass out.
1608
01:26:28,830 --> 01:26:30,750
I I forgot how bad last year
was.
1609
01:26:30,790 --> 01:26:34,230
I was.
OK, OK, I must have looked at
1610
01:26:34,230 --> 01:26:37,430
the wrong text man.
I did see him sending that text.
1611
01:26:37,590 --> 01:26:39,870
I thank you, Charlie.
I sent Texas originally.
1612
01:26:39,870 --> 01:26:43,350
I said you know what that blow
out last year that don't sit
1613
01:26:43,350 --> 01:26:44,710
right.
Venables ain't gonna let them
1614
01:26:44,710 --> 01:26:47,630
get blown out again.
Oklahoma.
1615
01:26:49,590 --> 01:26:51,310
It's all right.
We we can tell you how I'm post
1616
01:26:51,310 --> 01:26:52,580
editing.
We'll take it out.
1617
01:26:52,580 --> 01:26:53,780
Yeah.
Who's got it next?
1618
01:26:54,020 --> 01:26:55,020
Sheldon?
No, no, no.
1619
01:26:55,020 --> 01:26:56,380
Excuse me, Tally, who you got in
this?
1620
01:26:56,420 --> 01:26:58,020
Game.
You can move that Texas right
1621
01:26:58,020 --> 01:27:02,500
over to my name cuz I got Texas.
I got Texas winning and covered
1622
01:27:02,500 --> 01:27:04,660
in that game.
All right.
1623
01:27:04,660 --> 01:27:07,740
What about you, Sheldon?
Yeah give me Texas.
1624
01:27:07,780 --> 01:27:11,180
I just I really like their team
and they're they keep rising in
1625
01:27:11,180 --> 01:27:14,380
the in the metrics.
I just I'm I'm I'm loving Stark.
1626
01:27:14,540 --> 01:27:18,120
So I'll take Texas.
Well, apparently I went with
1627
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:21,200
Curtis unknowingly here because
I I got the Sooners keeping this
1628
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:23,160
closer than I think a lot of
people think.
1629
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:26,320
I think it's going to come down
to one of those those last drive
1630
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:28,640
deals.
I think they keep it close about
1631
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:31,120
a three-point win for Texas.
So I think they end up, you
1632
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:35,080
know, winning it out, right?
But oh, you going to keep it
1633
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,160
close there?
Alrighty.
1634
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:39,840
Well, let's next go to
Louisville.
1635
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:43,080
I think Tally chose this game
not only because it's going to
1636
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:45,800
be a good game, probably, but
he's heading there in about a
1637
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:47,660
month.
I'm not going anymore.
1638
01:27:48,860 --> 01:27:51,420
What happened?
I just got too much to do, man.
1639
01:27:51,420 --> 01:27:54,780
And and and we was, and we was
horrible at the beginning of the
1640
01:27:54,780 --> 01:27:57,540
year.
So I counseled my room and had
1641
01:27:57,540 --> 01:28:00,740
to do some other stuff.
We got $1600 just going to
1642
01:28:01,060 --> 01:28:03,860
baseball for my son, for high
school baseball.
1643
01:28:03,860 --> 01:28:05,620
So I was like, yeah, we need to
calm down a little bit.
1644
01:28:06,500 --> 01:28:08,100
All right, well, tally, what you
got here?
1645
01:28:08,100 --> 01:28:12,060
Notre Dame laying 6 1/2 a home.
Or excuse me, a road favorite.
1646
01:28:12,540 --> 01:28:15,900
I got Notre Dame, man.
I got Notre Dame winning this
1647
01:28:15,900 --> 01:28:20,580
thing and covering again.
I just, they played a lot of
1648
01:28:20,580 --> 01:28:23,540
close games.
But I just think that, you know,
1649
01:28:23,700 --> 01:28:25,980
Louisville is they're going to
catch up to Louisville on this
1650
01:28:25,980 --> 01:28:27,620
one and and they're going to
win.
1651
01:28:27,620 --> 01:28:31,820
And I say they went about about
win about 10 points, something
1652
01:28:31,820 --> 01:28:36,300
like that 10 point win there.
Alrighty.
1653
01:28:36,300 --> 01:28:39,180
Who next to Shelton who you got
in this game?
1654
01:28:40,460 --> 01:28:44,700
Yes, I will go Louisville.
I think Notre Dame's coming off
1655
01:28:44,700 --> 01:28:47,260
a very emotional win.
They're going to have a little
1656
01:28:47,260 --> 01:28:50,100
bit of let down.
Give me the cards to cover.
1657
01:28:51,940 --> 01:28:53,980
All righty.
Who's next here?
1658
01:28:53,980 --> 01:28:58,180
Brian, you are next on this one.
It's got to be Notre Dame, man.
1659
01:28:59,180 --> 01:29:01,820
You know, looking at this team,
I, I, I know they played a
1660
01:29:01,820 --> 01:29:05,660
couple close games, but I think
Louisville got shown for what
1661
01:29:05,660 --> 01:29:08,140
they were last week and I think
we're going to see more of that
1662
01:29:08,140 --> 01:29:09,380
this week.
Notre Dame.
1663
01:29:10,890 --> 01:29:14,970
That right there.
That right there is exactly why
1664
01:29:14,970 --> 01:29:18,450
it's Notre Dame lay the six and
a half.
1665
01:29:18,450 --> 01:29:22,170
Louisville got shown a lot
plumber came tumbling back to
1666
01:29:22,170 --> 01:29:26,690
earth against NC State and if NC
State had a decent quarterback,
1667
01:29:27,330 --> 01:29:29,370
they would have beat them by
multiple touchdowns.
1668
01:29:29,490 --> 01:29:31,850
I think Notre Dame, yes, it was
Sheldon, you're right.
1669
01:29:31,850 --> 01:29:35,250
It was an emotional victory
because it was a some crazy
1670
01:29:35,250 --> 01:29:38,010
things that happened at the end
of that game against Duke.
1671
01:29:38,610 --> 01:29:42,170
But I think this is going to be
1 where for the first time all
1672
01:29:42,170 --> 01:29:47,490
year Notre Dame isn't going to
see an opposing defense like the
1673
01:29:47,490 --> 01:29:50,770
likes of the way Dukes coached
to be so fun, sound, sound
1674
01:29:50,770 --> 01:29:54,810
fundamentally and nowhere near
the talent that Ohio State has.
1675
01:29:55,610 --> 01:29:58,930
All right, who we got, Brian,
you got the next one.
1676
01:29:58,930 --> 01:30:03,050
You got Maryland and Ohio State.
This is a massive line of Ohio
1677
01:30:03,050 --> 01:30:09,180
State laying 20 points.
Yeah, this is one that I
1678
01:30:09,180 --> 01:30:11,460
couldn't wait to get on there.
You know, Maryland's looks
1679
01:30:11,460 --> 01:30:14,220
pretty good overall at this
point in the season.
1680
01:30:15,020 --> 01:30:17,220
Ohio State's been kind of up and
down.
1681
01:30:17,420 --> 01:30:19,980
That 20 just was a little too
much for me.
1682
01:30:19,980 --> 01:30:22,860
So give me Maryland to cover
here.
1683
01:30:23,460 --> 01:30:25,500
All righty.
I'm on the opposite side of you.
1684
01:30:25,500 --> 01:30:27,340
Give me the Buckeyes and lay the
20.
1685
01:30:29,540 --> 01:30:33,220
I feel like a Maryland defense
is going to be a get right game
1686
01:30:33,260 --> 01:30:36,850
for Ohio State's offense.
I mean, I know Ohio State will
1687
01:30:36,850 --> 01:30:40,330
give up a few points here and
there, but it's to me, it's
1688
01:30:40,330 --> 01:30:41,690
good.
The usual Maryland show, the
1689
01:30:41,690 --> 01:30:44,490
first time they have a big
competitor they're going to,
1690
01:30:44,490 --> 01:30:47,050
they're going to wither up in
the face of adversity.
1691
01:30:47,650 --> 01:30:50,090
So give me Ohio State tally, who
you got on this one?
1692
01:30:50,570 --> 01:30:53,210
We got two teams that I both
hate, so I wish both of them
1693
01:30:53,210 --> 01:30:56,690
could lose, but I'm going to
take Maryland.
1694
01:30:56,730 --> 01:30:59,770
I think Maryland's going to
lose, but I don't think they're
1695
01:30:59,770 --> 01:31:01,650
going to lose by more than 20
points.
1696
01:31:01,650 --> 01:31:04,290
I think it may be a 14 point win
for Ohio State.
1697
01:31:04,630 --> 01:31:08,390
You know, somewhere around 1314
point win Alrighty, Sheldon.
1698
01:31:09,630 --> 01:31:12,230
Given the Terps, I think they've
got a really good offense.
1699
01:31:12,230 --> 01:31:13,750
I love what Locksley's doing
over there.
1700
01:31:13,750 --> 01:31:17,230
He's got Josh Gaddis as his OC,
who came over from Alabama and
1701
01:31:17,510 --> 01:31:19,270
Miami.
Really good, really good
1702
01:31:19,270 --> 01:31:22,910
offensive mind.
So I'll, I'll take Maryland.
1703
01:31:22,910 --> 01:31:26,110
I just love their offense.
Alrighty, there we go.
1704
01:31:26,670 --> 01:31:29,950
We got a lot of three on ones,
except for that Texas.
1705
01:31:29,950 --> 01:31:32,270
Oh, you game.
Let's go to Shelton's game of
1706
01:31:32,270 --> 01:31:35,270
the week.
Shelton, you've got Alabama and
1707
01:31:35,270 --> 01:31:39,710
Texas A and M Alabama, a small
Rd. favorite at 2 1/2.
1708
01:31:39,910 --> 01:31:43,350
Who do you got in this one?
I'll take Alabama at Texas A and
1709
01:31:43,350 --> 01:31:46,110
M without their starting
quarterback Wegman, who got
1710
01:31:46,110 --> 01:31:48,830
injured well, a little while
back.
1711
01:31:49,270 --> 01:31:51,510
I think Alabama's gonna come
with somebody approved, so I
1712
01:31:51,510 --> 01:31:55,390
will take a mad Nick Saban team
anytime, Brian.
1713
01:31:56,820 --> 01:31:59,900
Yeah, I'm going Bama here.
They're still in desperation
1714
01:31:59,900 --> 01:32:03,420
mode They they still haven't
quite figured it all out.
1715
01:32:03,820 --> 01:32:07,740
But I think with what what's
going on at A and MI think
1716
01:32:07,740 --> 01:32:10,700
they're going to get have just
enough to to to cover that 2
1717
01:32:10,700 --> 01:32:11,580
1/2.
We'll see.
1718
01:32:11,900 --> 01:32:15,820
I'd say about a six, six to
seven point win for the Crimson
1719
01:32:15,820 --> 01:32:18,260
Tide here.
Yeah, I'm with y'all, I'm with
1720
01:32:18,260 --> 01:32:20,820
y'all Bam.
That's a small number to lay,
1721
01:32:22,060 --> 01:32:24,740
especially with the A and M
starting quarterback out and
1722
01:32:24,820 --> 01:32:29,350
with A and M the only to me,
they they play 2 good teams.
1723
01:32:29,670 --> 01:32:33,150
They beat Auburn, which the way
Auburn played against Georgia
1724
01:32:33,150 --> 01:32:34,670
last week.
I'm I'm still trying to figure
1725
01:32:34,670 --> 01:32:38,350
out that game and they played
Miami and they got boat race
1726
01:32:38,350 --> 01:32:40,630
starting in the second quarter
to the rest of the game.
1727
01:32:40,630 --> 01:32:43,870
So Alabama covers.
I think they win by like 10
1728
01:32:43,870 --> 01:32:45,750
plus.
Tell them what about you?
1729
01:32:46,270 --> 01:32:48,950
Yeah, I got Alabama, too.
I think Alabama's got a similar
1730
01:32:50,630 --> 01:32:53,240
I don't want to say so.
They got a young quarterback,
1731
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,920
You know, they got a young
quarterback that they got to run
1732
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:59,520
the right place for.
Alabama fans have been so
1733
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:06,480
blessed to have Heisman Trophy
after first round pick after
1734
01:33:06,480 --> 01:33:08,880
Heisman Trophy.
You know every year that they
1735
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:12,080
get a little bit adversity
against a great Texas team, Man,
1736
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:14,920
Texas beat them about 10 points
and they tried to change it up
1737
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:18,120
and then go back to their
quarterback, which had a really
1738
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:20,940
good.
Week last week, I think they're
1739
01:33:20,940 --> 01:33:22,780
going to continue.
They continue.
1740
01:33:22,780 --> 01:33:25,540
Put them in the position to to
be successful.
1741
01:33:25,540 --> 01:33:27,300
They're going to be, they're
going to be hard to beat.
1742
01:33:28,300 --> 01:33:30,940
Alrighty.
So those are our four big
1743
01:33:30,940 --> 01:33:34,020
screeners and the one we always
throw in here just for fun.
1744
01:33:34,500 --> 01:33:36,940
This week we're going down to
Athens.
1745
01:33:36,940 --> 01:33:40,980
Between the hedges.
Georgia and Kentucky, both
1746
01:33:41,020 --> 01:33:43,140
undefeated, both ranked in the
top 20.
1747
01:33:43,140 --> 01:33:48,000
Kentucky coming off they beat
the absolute piss out of
1748
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:49,320
Florida.
Yeah, they did.
1749
01:33:49,480 --> 01:33:53,480
I mean, I walked in and turned
that game on after baseball, and
1750
01:33:53,480 --> 01:33:56,240
it's like 28, three.
It's just like, I thought
1751
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,400
Florida's supposed to be good.
Billy Napier getting fired this
1752
01:33:58,400 --> 01:33:59,440
year.
I'm gonna go ahead and make that
1753
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:01,640
right there.
All right, Sheldon.
1754
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,280
No, Brian, lead us off here.
I think it's Bama, or excuse me,
1755
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:07,160
Georgia 14 1/2.
What you got?
1756
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:10,160
I've got Kentucky covered this
one.
1757
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,000
I think this is going to be a
little bit closer than folks
1758
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:14,200
think.
I think it's going to be about a
1759
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:18,200
10 point game.
I think Georgia is a very, very,
1760
01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:22,280
very good team, but they're not
a blow the doors off.
1761
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:24,960
A team is playing as well as
Kentucky is right now.
1762
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:28,840
Type team yet I don't think
they're that good but with it
1763
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:31,960
being in Athens I've I've got to
give Georgia the benefit of the
1764
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:33,400
doubt.
I think they win this game by
1765
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:37,520
about 17.
I'll lay the 14 1/2 with Georgia
1766
01:34:40,440 --> 01:34:43,480
tally.
I'm going to go Kentucky, man,
1767
01:34:43,480 --> 01:34:46,680
Georgia's been.
Georgia's been a little suspect,
1768
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,160
man, with everybody they played.
They kind of, you know, just
1769
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:52,000
been slipping by.
So I think that Georgia, you
1770
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:54,960
know, it's going to be similar
to the game they were, they
1771
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:58,240
played Auburn this week or last
week, you know, going to be a
1772
01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:00,160
late touchdown for the win for
them.
1773
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:03,040
So I think Georgia wins, but
they don't cover.
1774
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:05,800
Georgia wins, they don't cover.
Sheldon, what about you?
1775
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:11,200
Yes, give me Georgia.
Kentucky coming off a big win
1776
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:13,760
last week.
Georgia coming off a tough,
1777
01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:17,720
close win.
Last week as well.
1778
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:19,440
I think those fortunes are going
to reverse.
1779
01:35:19,440 --> 01:35:22,520
And I'm going to take the dogs.
Big dogs.
1780
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:25,960
Big in Athens.
Alrighty.
1781
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:28,920
Well, that is our big screeners
for the week.

You go out, make yourself some
1784
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:37,960
money there, boys.
Has anything, bro?
1785
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:40,960
Hey, look, just stay here Now.
In 40 minutes.
1786
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:44,000
We did good tonight.
We ready to roll?
1787
01:35:44,820 --> 01:35:47,260
There we go.
It's always good podcasting
1788
01:35:47,260 --> 01:35:51,660
after a a big win like that, so
everything tastes better,
1789
01:35:51,660 --> 01:35:54,180
everything sound better, it's.
True, man.
1790
01:35:54,460 --> 01:35:56,020
It's just good to get a win,
man.
1791
01:35:56,460 --> 01:35:58,820
It's good to get a win.
And you know what?
1792
01:35:58,820 --> 01:36:00,700
It's good to get a win like
that, though.
1793
01:36:01,300 --> 01:36:03,180
Oh yeah, it's it's the win like
that.
1794
01:36:03,180 --> 01:36:09,580
Because Tally's been mentioned
in big losses, small losses,
1795
01:36:10,500 --> 01:36:14,430
little wins, then big wins,
well, we jumped up and we went
1796
01:36:14,430 --> 01:36:18,150
big win 17 points.
I mean there was a 14 point game
1797
01:36:18,150 --> 01:36:21,950
out of the third quarter, only
considered a blowout but went
1798
01:36:21,950 --> 01:36:24,230
about 17 against anybody still
good.
1799
01:36:25,430 --> 01:36:28,110
It could have been a blowout.
We were this close to a blowout
1800
01:36:28,110 --> 01:36:31,150
if we didn't had that 5 minute
fuck up, five second fuck up.
1801
01:36:31,670 --> 01:36:34,950
But yeah, it's always that good
feeling.
1802
01:36:34,950 --> 01:36:39,790
So anything else to add Shelton
Tally, Brian?
1803
01:36:41,930 --> 01:36:44,290
I'm just going to say like, like
Curtis said last week, man,
1804
01:36:44,770 --> 01:36:48,090
Coach had to let his nuts hang
on somebody's face and I'm glad
1805
01:36:48,090 --> 01:36:51,890
it was Nardooshi.
So good job, coach.
1806
01:36:51,890 --> 01:36:54,130
Yes, I did say that tally was
the only one.
1807
01:36:54,170 --> 01:36:59,570
To hang the nuts on the face,
there was tea baggery in the BC.
1808
01:36:59,570 --> 01:37:03,890
P Tell me last week, if we win,
if we be far the state, I will
1809
01:37:03,890 --> 01:37:08,530
post that clip everywhere.
Curtis, you will be famous.
1810
01:37:09,900 --> 01:37:11,940
Listen, I already had like 3
people text me this week.
1811
01:37:11,940 --> 01:37:14,100
Like did you say he's muffled
somebody's face?
1812
01:37:14,100 --> 01:37:18,300
Like, yes, I did.
All right, well, that is going
1813
01:37:18,300 --> 01:37:21,380

1827
01:38:02,990 --> 01:38:05,790
He is not this weekend.
I don't know what's going on.
1828
01:38:05,790 --> 01:38:08,750
He must have made a lot of money
doing when reception or
1829
01:38:08,750 --> 01:38:10,590
something the other weekend.
So he's going to take, he's
1830
01:38:11,150 --> 01:38:13,230
going to take off.
He's drinking some more of that
1831
01:38:13,230 --> 01:38:15,310
ride, man.
He finished that ride.
1832
01:38:15,870 --> 01:38:18,510
Hey, he might have been on the
Hokey's the win.
1833
01:38:18,950 --> 01:38:20,150
He came.
He's in Virginia.
1834
01:38:20,350 --> 01:38:24,270
He doesn't like it either.
But what he is doing is actually
1835
01:38:24,270 --> 01:38:27,270
not sucking the last two weeks.
I'm probably jinxing them right
1836
01:38:27,270 --> 01:38:30,910
now, but.
He's had a two week run of Not
1837
01:38:30,910 --> 01:38:34,070
awful we get.
We get Jason's bet every
1838
01:38:34,070 --> 01:38:36,750
Thursday, Saturday and Sunday
texted to us.
1839
01:38:36,870 --> 01:38:39,690
Oh yeah, it's always great.
Well, listen, we thank you
1840
01:38:39,690 --> 01:38:43,410
always out there for listening.
And as always, let's go Okies.
1841
01:38:43,690 --> 01:38:44,410
Okies.
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:53,550
Defense 12th in the country in
total defense.
2
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:55,710
Fewer than 300 yards allowed per
game.
3
00:00:56,230 --> 00:01:00,110
Drones takes a deep shot looking
for Take One Belton.
4
00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:11,910
For a touchdown. 54 yards.
This one's not contested because
5
00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:15,350
he just uses his speed, just
runs a straight goal out, and
6
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:18,270
then it is a beautiful ball by
Kyron.
7
00:01:18,270 --> 00:01:22,550
Drones couldn't hand it to him
any better, and Virginia Tech is
8
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:26,110
off to a good start.
And welcome back to Deep
9
00:01:26,110 --> 00:01:29,390
Boundary Corner Podcast with my
partners, Brian Sigler.
10
00:01:29,850 --> 00:01:32,250
Jonathan, Tally and Shelton
Malls, I'm Curtis Wilson.
11
00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:35,410
In this episode is brought to
you by Doctor Jeremy Counts down
12
00:01:35,410 --> 00:01:37,490
at the Main Street Pharmacy in
Blacksburg.
13
00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:41,810
Your friendly neighborhood
pharmacy located at 301 S Main
14
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:45,450
St. in it right here at the top.
We we had a show that because we
15
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:48,370
ain't had much to curl about in
the first quarter of many games
16
00:01:48,370 --> 00:01:51,290
this year.
But first possession, what third
17
00:01:51,290 --> 00:01:54,170
play of the game, a bomb
happens.
18
00:01:54,810 --> 00:01:57,450
Didn't see that one coming up.
Top.
19
00:01:57,930 --> 00:02:01,030
I will take it.
All day long.
20
00:02:01,070 --> 00:02:04,350
We we hadn't seen a lot of deep
stuff in a in a few games there,
21
00:02:04,350 --> 00:02:09,350
so it's nice to see us hit that
big one, really get off to a
22
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:13,790
good start, put their backs
against the wall a little bit.
23
00:02:14,910 --> 00:02:16,990
It always likes to do that at
home when you got the crowd
24
00:02:16,990 --> 00:02:19,550
behind you.
Well, after after taking them
25
00:02:19,550 --> 00:02:22,710
three and out and doing that, it
was just like that the the
26
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:26,670
crowd, which was already just
absolutely insane on the
27
00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:30,270
whiteout Saturday night.
Just took it to another level.
28
00:02:30,270 --> 00:02:34,190
The place was never quiet so we
got a lot to talk about on a
29
00:02:34,190 --> 00:02:37,110
3821.
It is a tell the truth Tuesday.
30
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:38,830
We're going to tell a lot of
good truths tonight.
31
00:02:38,830 --> 00:02:42,070
Not a lot of the and some bads
but mostly good.
32
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:45,710
But you know want to tell real
quick rally to Robbie this week
33
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:48,110
not at home.
Check out the pharmacy. 7 bucks
34
00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:51,030
at Venmo got with Grayson.
They will be back in a Lot 1
35
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:53,030
next week for the Homecoming
Wake Forest game.
36
00:02:53,420 --> 00:02:57,020
So check that out.
And before we get into the big
37
00:02:57,020 --> 00:02:59,700
stuff, let's talk about the
commit.
38
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:03,340
Did y'all see the basketball
commit yesterday?
39
00:03:03,340 --> 00:03:05,660
It.
Was a pretty big one.
40
00:03:06,420 --> 00:03:07,820
Big time.
Big time.
41
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:10,140
So Shelton, I don't know how
much you got on him, but it's
42
00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:13,780
Ryan Jones, A6 foot eight
center, 225 out of Gainesville,
43
00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:18,260
FL.
He is a composite 97.
44
00:03:18,260 --> 00:03:21,940
He is a high four-star.
He is a top 70 player in the
45
00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:24,460
country.
I think I read correct me if I'm
46
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:27,500
wrong, Shelton, the fourth
highest rated player of all time
47
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,660
that has come to Tech.
That is correct fourth highest
48
00:03:30,660 --> 00:03:32,860
rated player of all time and six
foot eight.
49
00:03:32,860 --> 00:03:34,820
You could play them at power for
you, play them at center
50
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,700
obviously pretty versatile and
kind of fits the the Mike Young
51
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:39,540
bolt of a big man.
So it's a bit, it's a big time
52
00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:42,190
pickup for sure.
Definitely big time pick up.
53
00:03:42,190 --> 00:03:45,510
And then looking at the offer
list here, I mean he wasn't
54
00:03:45,510 --> 00:03:47,190
short.
He had a lot of interest from a
55
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:49,830
lot of different schools.
Effectively the Hokies beat out
56
00:03:50,950 --> 00:03:54,510
the Gators down there, which you
know goes our way this time for
57
00:03:54,510 --> 00:03:57,670
once about a kid wanting to get
away from home right in
58
00:03:57,670 --> 00:04:01,350
basketball.
So it's a good thing for
59
00:04:01,350 --> 00:04:03,750
basketball, but I wanted to hit
that real quick because we are
60
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:07,510
etching every day of the season.
If none of y'all follow, what's
61
00:04:07,510 --> 00:04:09,190
his name?
John.
62
00:04:11,630 --> 00:04:14,390
John Rothstein Every morning I
wake up at fools counting down
63
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:18,510
the clock to basketball season's
almost here and that's something
64
00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:22,150
we'll be taking a look at in the
Next up this upcoming month
65
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:26,190
taking some basketball stuff.
One other news and note guys, if
66
00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:29,790
you didn't see this, Evan
Watkins over 247 put this out
67
00:04:29,790 --> 00:04:35,150
and I know they were close.
Aiden Green, Braylon Johnson,
68
00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:41,200
Dante Lovett, Moose Phillips.
And Caleb Woodson, the Red
69
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,800
Church are gone.
They got a choice.
70
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,760
No choice.
Man got to.
71
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,920
You got to and and also The
thing is with those guys and
72
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,480
they're playing good roles like
Green's got a couple catches to
73
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,880
be a freshman.
Johnson, Lovett.
74
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,120
Lovett's playing I think every
special team snap.
75
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:04,880
So any any, any feelings on this
or you know, Tally said it had
76
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,440
to have Brian.
Any feelings on this?
77
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,840
I mean, the big thing for me was
talking about green.
78
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:10,770
You know, we are.
We talked about the beginning of
79
00:05:10,770 --> 00:05:12,450
the season.
He was going to be that kind of
80
00:05:12,450 --> 00:05:16,130
5-6 roll in the wide receiver
room and we're seeing Green kind
81
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:19,090
of etch that that roll out for
himself there.
82
00:05:20,450 --> 00:05:23,530
The others are just we needed
the depth and that's where they
83
00:05:23,530 --> 00:05:24,770
are.
And I mean some of them would
84
00:05:24,770 --> 00:05:28,450
play well in its spots.
I'd say especially Phillips is
85
00:05:28,450 --> 00:05:30,730
coming along and you know,
Woodson's out there getting a
86
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:34,090
lot of run and obviously Johnson
and Lovett have been kind of
87
00:05:34,570 --> 00:05:36,770
filling in at cornerback when we
need him in there and
88
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:40,910
occasionally jumping back to.
To safety when we got thin
89
00:05:40,910 --> 00:05:42,190
there.
So I mean it's just been
90
00:05:42,270 --> 00:05:45,110
necessity on the defensive side,
but good to see a guy like Green
91
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:49,350
kind of take that that jump into
the that five and six roll in
92
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:52,670
the wide receiver room.
Shown any thoughts on any of
93
00:05:52,670 --> 00:05:55,950
these guys you know?
Is there one maybe of the bunch
94
00:05:55,950 --> 00:05:59,070
you've noticed with data
statistics to say wish we could
95
00:05:59,070 --> 00:06:02,230
have held it, not burning him?
No.
96
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:04,630
I mean, I think it's just it's
kind of hard to judge with young
97
00:06:04,630 --> 00:06:08,550
guys because you don't, first of
all, you don't have the sample
98
00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:10,110
size, really to make an accurate
judgment.
99
00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:12,230
You just don't know how they're
gonna, how they're gonna project
100
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:15,150
in the future.
So I tend to trust coaches with
101
00:06:15,150 --> 00:06:17,710
red shirt decisions, You know,
it's not, it's not my place.
102
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:18,710
They assume every day in
practice.
103
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:21,670
So, you know, it's whatever they
decide I'm cool with.
104
00:06:22,350 --> 00:06:25,070
Yeah, yeah, we are not the full
TSL.
105
00:06:25,070 --> 00:06:26,630
Chris Coleman, red shirt,
everybody.
106
00:06:27,130 --> 00:06:29,890
Because in some situations, you
know they're going to be County
107
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:33,450
Jenkins as a senior you had to
get Woodson or whoever won that
108
00:06:33,450 --> 00:06:36,930
between Woodson and I cannot
think of the other kids name
109
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:41,890
from down in Petersburg Cottman.
You know they were one of the
110
00:06:41,890 --> 00:06:42,970
women get a ton of run this
year.
111
00:06:42,970 --> 00:06:44,890
You just knew it was going to
happen just because it had to
112
00:06:44,890 --> 00:06:46,850
happen.
And then with the depth at
113
00:06:46,850 --> 00:06:50,690
cornerback, we said it, you
know, six weeks ago, like these
114
00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:53,050
guys are going to get run like
they're probably not going to be
115
00:06:53,170 --> 00:06:55,410
a red shirt for them.
And then they played pretty
116
00:06:55,410 --> 00:06:57,970
good, so.
You know they're gone.
117
00:06:57,970 --> 00:07:00,530
I don't know who's the next one
to be gone, but there probably
118
00:07:00,530 --> 00:07:02,690
is going to be a few more burn
before the end of the season.
119
00:07:02,690 --> 00:07:05,290
So we shall see.
All right, well, let's get to
120
00:07:05,290 --> 00:07:07,170
it.
Let's tell the truth Tuesday
121
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:12,170
again. 3821 win for the Hokies
against the Pitt Panthers.
122
00:07:12,410 --> 00:07:15,890
The Pitt Panthers that came in
with the 12th ranked defense in
123
00:07:15,890 --> 00:07:17,730
the country.
Total defense in the country,
124
00:07:17,730 --> 00:07:22,130
which was kind of, you know, St.
They gave up.
125
00:07:22,410 --> 00:07:25,250
They gave up less yards to UNC
than they did us.
126
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,160
I don't know.
That's crazy all.
127
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Right, but what went well, I'm
going to start this off because
128
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,480
watching Lane Stadium Saturday
night, she was mean.
129
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,800
She was loud.
It was intimidating.
130
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,360
They had multiple false starts.
You could tell that stadium was
131
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,760
in the head.
And it did not quiet the entire
132
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,360
game, even after big plays kept
being loud, kept disturbing
133
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,240
them.
And it's like that.
134
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,710
It's that throwback, right?
Like we always see it loud, but
135
00:07:55,310 --> 00:07:58,110
that's Saturday night she was
she's nasty.
136
00:08:01,070 --> 00:08:05,550
It was loud, very loud you know
seen it on the on the shots it
137
00:08:05,550 --> 00:08:09,350
looked like, I like the white
out looked better than I've seen
138
00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:11,710
it look anytime we've had the
white out.
139
00:08:11,710 --> 00:08:16,190
So kudos to the fans for for
really leaning into that and
140
00:08:16,190 --> 00:08:18,550
getting that to to look pretty
incredible out there.
141
00:08:20,590 --> 00:08:24,960
But yeah, I mean, I thought the.
The atmosphere was great.
142
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,640
We looked at at what they were
able to do in the field of the
143
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,520
commitment to the running game,
getting drones in the running
144
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,559
game, but just leaning on the
running game.
145
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,480
We saw them kind of get a little
bit of momentum last week, went
146
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,559
away from it, came back late,
hit it early and often.
147
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,040
This week we're able to sprinkle
some big plays in there that we
148
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,640
hadn't seen before.
So I think, you know, looking at
149
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,200
that, those are two big things
that I didn't expect against
150
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,880
this pit defense.
Me either.
151
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,400
Tally.
Tally, I had a quick question
152
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,120
for you.
You know how many times we ran
153
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,000
the ball Saturday night?
Man, I don't know.
154
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:07,560
Probably what, 65?
Close 5959 at 3.4 carry.
155
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,720
And you'd have told if you'd
have told any of us that we do
156
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,920
that against any defense that
we're playing, especially
157
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,200
probably that first game,
especially Pitt, we had said
158
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,080
you'd lying.
You know he's just.
159
00:09:21,070 --> 00:09:23,990
Basshell Tootin is is just, he's
a man.
160
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:28,470
He was, he was tired man.
You can tell he was sucking win.
161
00:09:29,270 --> 00:09:33,310
He was punishing people after
runs but he continued to do it.
162
00:09:33,310 --> 00:09:36,670
He go on the sideline, he get
him a little water, he get back
163
00:09:36,670 --> 00:09:40,270
in like it was.
It was good to see, you know it
164
00:09:40,270 --> 00:09:45,350
takes us to the next point where
Tyler Bowen caught a pretty good
165
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:47,470
game, man.
Like his play designs.
166
00:09:48,770 --> 00:09:51,770
The play calls were actually
pretty spot on.
167
00:09:52,170 --> 00:09:55,170
You know, all of us watching the
game, a lot of times you're
168
00:09:55,170 --> 00:09:57,290
like, why are we running up the
middle so much?
169
00:09:57,370 --> 00:10:00,410
Why are we doing this so much?
I mean he he got people on the
170
00:10:00,410 --> 00:10:04,130
outside.
He moved the pocket for drones,
171
00:10:04,130 --> 00:10:07,810
You know, he called the right
quarterback draws at the right
172
00:10:07,810 --> 00:10:10,410
time.
Like it was just the play
173
00:10:10,410 --> 00:10:13,130
designs man.
He he did kudos to him.
174
00:10:13,130 --> 00:10:17,090
I think he was a ACC coordinator
of the of the wheat.
175
00:10:19,420 --> 00:10:22,020
I was well deserved, man,
because, I mean going into that
176
00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:24,740
game, you know, the ACC Network
is there.
177
00:10:24,740 --> 00:10:27,620
Everybody loves Lane Stadium,
everybody loves the atmosphere.
178
00:10:28,060 --> 00:10:33,500
But I can say nobody expected
what they seen on that field
179
00:10:33,780 --> 00:10:35,780
Saturday night.
I know I didn't.
180
00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:37,980
I don't think any of the
commentators did.
181
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:40,420
I don't think any of y'all did
what you say, Curtis.
182
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:42,660
We definitely didn't.
None of us did.
183
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:45,740
I mean, we were effectively.
It was one of those nobody in
184
00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:48,810
this room.
Nor our guest last week picked
185
00:10:48,810 --> 00:10:51,010
the Oakies to win.
We all had it close.
186
00:10:51,570 --> 00:10:53,570
We all had it close.
But.
187
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:55,370
No, you got to go back.
Mike did.
188
00:10:55,570 --> 00:10:58,530
Remember Mike, Daniel did.
He said.
189
00:10:58,610 --> 00:11:00,770
He said this is going to be the
week that we're going to put it
190
00:11:00,770 --> 00:11:02,930
all together and we're going to
get picked.
191
00:11:02,930 --> 00:11:05,290
And I said, ah, you're a liar.
It ain't happening.
192
00:11:06,170 --> 00:11:07,650
Mike did pick him to win,
though.
193
00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:11,050
All right, so shell, I'm going
to throw this to you man,
194
00:11:11,050 --> 00:11:12,650
because I think you got the data
there.
195
00:11:12,650 --> 00:11:14,370
If not, I know you can pull it
up pretty quick.
196
00:11:15,070 --> 00:11:19,550
How many explosive runs and
passes did we have on Saturday
197
00:11:19,550 --> 00:11:21,670
night?
Because it seemed like we were
198
00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:25,870
getting multiple 1/4.
We did, yes.
199
00:11:25,870 --> 00:11:28,950
I'm pulling up A1 SEC.
Also, just to another note about
200
00:11:28,950 --> 00:11:31,790
the number of plays you ran,
part of the reason that we ran
201
00:11:31,790 --> 00:11:33,870
so many times is because we had
the ball so long.
202
00:11:34,190 --> 00:11:37,870
I think we had, we had 78 plays
for reference that the average
203
00:11:37,870 --> 00:11:41,110
in a game is about 66.
So we're plus 12 in the average.
204
00:11:41,150 --> 00:11:43,750
And I think we had 32 more plays
run than Pitt did.
205
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:45,390
Wow.
So that kind of that kind of
206
00:11:45,390 --> 00:11:47,230
speaks to like how?
I'm actually dominant.
207
00:11:47,230 --> 00:11:49,030
That is crazy.
That is crazy.
208
00:11:49,230 --> 00:11:54,190
So yeah, so in terms of
explosive plays, actually we did
209
00:11:54,190 --> 00:11:58,830
not have a huge amount.
So I'm seeing 7% explosive play
210
00:11:58,830 --> 00:12:02,310
rate which is about kind of
around the 36 percentile.
211
00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:07,900
And then if you divide it up in
terms of run pass, he had four
212
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:10,060
big passing plays and then one
big rushing play.
213
00:12:10,060 --> 00:12:14,740
So it wasn't so much the
explosive plays as it was the I
214
00:12:14,740 --> 00:12:17,300
would say staying on schedule.
Tech had a really good success,
215
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:18,220
right?
Which I'm sure we can talk
216
00:12:18,220 --> 00:12:20,460
about, but they just they they
never got behind the sticks.
217
00:12:21,420 --> 00:12:23,580
Yeah, no, we didn't money down
conversions.
218
00:12:23,580 --> 00:12:25,860
We were 10 to 18.
That's over 50%.
219
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:28,500
You tell me.
We're 10 of 18 every here game
220
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:29,740
from here to the end of the
season.
221
00:12:29,740 --> 00:12:30,820
I will.
I will take it.
222
00:12:31,420 --> 00:12:33,780
I don't care.
I will take 10 of 18 every week
223
00:12:33,780 --> 00:12:37,390
on 3rd and 4th downs.
Because like you said, we
224
00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:40,070
sustain drives.
We sustain drives.
225
00:12:40,070 --> 00:12:41,710
And I know in a little while
here somebody's going to talk
226
00:12:41,710 --> 00:12:43,790
about TOP.
He's got the exact number.
227
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:47,470
But that was the impressive part
you talk about.
228
00:12:47,950 --> 00:12:50,870
You said 7%.
Well, heck, when you go 7% of 70
229
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:54,790
plays, that's about 6 big plays
and you're talking about one
230
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:57,710
right out the bat, which
immediately they it took them a
231
00:12:57,990 --> 00:13:00,910
it took them a while to start
bringing that safety back down
232
00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:03,310
into the box after they got
burned once, they did not.
233
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:06,590
Effectively they like to play
the guys up and it's like you
234
00:13:06,590 --> 00:13:09,030
get burned once over the top
because it was a if y'all.
235
00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:11,430
Remember that play was a go post
route.
236
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:15,670
The safety went with the post.
They Quan beat his man over the
237
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:17,710
top.
What are you supposed to do?
238
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:22,750
And the other thing, let's flip
to the other side on defense
239
00:13:22,750 --> 00:13:26,190
real quick.
Two for 11 on money downs for
240
00:13:26,190 --> 00:13:28,830
Pitt.
Would you love to see?
241
00:13:29,380 --> 00:13:32,780
411 what What would you see
Brian, with that?
242
00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:34,900
What?
What was going on with the stops
243
00:13:36,180 --> 00:13:38,620
that really made it successful
on Saturday night?
244
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:43,980
Getting in Jerkovic's ass on on
those third down plays.
245
00:13:44,140 --> 00:13:46,740
His new name, His new name is
Filthy Field.
246
00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:49,580
That's what we're calling him on
this show.
247
00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:53,540
I don't know what Lane Stadium
does to him, but Filthy Field
248
00:13:53,540 --> 00:13:57,220
does not react good when he's in
Lane Stadium.
249
00:13:57,730 --> 00:14:00,610
Talk about we talked about
Boeing getting a tight asshole
250
00:14:00,610 --> 00:14:05,010
last week in that in that second
and third quarter, every time
251
00:14:05,250 --> 00:14:07,930
Phil Jakovic lined up in Lane
Stadium, he's got a tight
252
00:14:07,930 --> 00:14:11,650
asshole.
It's like he forgets.
253
00:14:11,650 --> 00:14:13,250
I mean, he hasn't had it now
Great.
254
00:14:13,250 --> 00:14:15,970
He has not had a great year
playing quarterback in general,
255
00:14:16,410 --> 00:14:18,450
but he was in hell for four
quarters.
256
00:14:19,130 --> 00:14:21,490
He was.
He was.
257
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:25,810
And outside of two, outside of
two plays, he did nothing.
258
00:14:27,390 --> 00:14:29,430
He was so nervous.
If you go watch on the play
259
00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:32,590
where he pulled the ball, nobody
was around him.
260
00:14:32,950 --> 00:14:35,670
He was still scared, I think,
the commentator said.
261
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:37,790
He didn't even realize nobody
was around him.
262
00:14:37,790 --> 00:14:40,590
He hesitated like go watch that
play.
263
00:14:40,590 --> 00:14:42,390
He just he didn't want to take
off.
264
00:14:42,510 --> 00:14:43,830
I don't know what I mean was
but.
265
00:14:43,870 --> 00:14:45,510
You know, I talked, I talked a
little bit last week.
266
00:14:45,510 --> 00:14:48,110
I was like, if Phil plays, I
think he's still going to be a
267
00:14:48,110 --> 00:14:51,910
little bit gun shy and he looked
a little bit gun shy out there.
268
00:14:52,430 --> 00:14:53,430
He looked a little bit gun.
Shy.
269
00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:56,110
And then he would talk his shit
like, you know, like, what are
270
00:14:56,110 --> 00:14:58,050
you doing, man?
Look at the scoreboard.
271
00:14:58,770 --> 00:15:01,530
Well, one thing I can say, you
know even on that clip that you
272
00:15:01,650 --> 00:15:06,170
that you showed at the beginning
and it wasn't just the
273
00:15:06,170 --> 00:15:08,250
quarterback, but the quarter.
It helps when it's the
274
00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:11,090
quarterback.
Like I don't want Dick heads on
275
00:15:11,090 --> 00:15:12,330
the.
Well, I do want Dick heads on
276
00:15:12,330 --> 00:15:15,690
the team.
You know you don't want people
277
00:15:15,690 --> 00:15:16,970
to do that the.
Right kind of Dick head.
278
00:15:17,050 --> 00:15:19,410
You don't want people to do
stupid stuff off the field,
279
00:15:19,610 --> 00:15:22,050
That's what I mean.
But when?
280
00:15:22,530 --> 00:15:27,010
When drones hit, that touchdown
hit felt over the top.
281
00:15:27,290 --> 00:15:29,050
You saw all the way down the
field.
282
00:15:29,090 --> 00:15:31,850
First of all, he hit the
celebration, which is awesome.
283
00:15:32,410 --> 00:15:33,770
This is football.
Have fun.
284
00:15:34,370 --> 00:15:37,930
He is passing people that he's
going to have to hit all night.
285
00:15:38,490 --> 00:15:40,810
Ryman, they're going to hit you
all night.
286
00:15:41,290 --> 00:15:44,130
He's talking, John.
He goes up to the cornerback.
287
00:15:44,130 --> 00:15:45,650
He's pointing at him.
We got you.
288
00:15:46,210 --> 00:15:48,730
You know, it just looks like
he's saying you got you got your
289
00:15:48,730 --> 00:15:50,130
eyes in the back field, we got
you.
290
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:53,020
And I was thinking.
This can go one or two ways
291
00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:57,020
because a team like Pitt is very
physical, mostly, you know, like
292
00:15:57,020 --> 00:15:58,380
that's what we're they're known
for.
293
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:03,660
But by the end of the game or
middle of the game, they're
294
00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:05,580
helping drones up.
They're tapping them on the
295
00:16:05,580 --> 00:16:08,300
helmet.
He was punishing people after
296
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:11,340
runs.
Like, it was crazy to see the
297
00:16:11,540 --> 00:16:14,820
attitude that we took on, like,
where's that be, You know what
298
00:16:14,820 --> 00:16:17,220
I'm saying?
Not just him Tooting, you know,
299
00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:20,190
Felton.
Everybody who was even the, even
300
00:16:20,190 --> 00:16:24,070
the lineman who weren't fucking
blocking good, had a a nasty
301
00:16:24,070 --> 00:16:26,110
attitude.
I'm all right with that.
302
00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:30,190
Dragging people, you know, you
got people getting in the pile.
303
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:31,990
When's the last time we pushed
the pile?
304
00:16:32,510 --> 00:16:34,990
I wait.
What do I always say, Curtis?
305
00:16:34,990 --> 00:16:37,070
If you go fuck up, fuck up full
speed.
306
00:16:37,230 --> 00:16:39,150
Man.
Fuck up full speed and hit.
307
00:16:39,190 --> 00:16:43,470
Somebody we're pushing the pile.
We we after trying to make
308
00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:46,470
something happen.
Like, just that attitude man
309
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:48,530
was.
Great to see, you know what I'm
310
00:16:48,530 --> 00:16:49,810
saying?
Because I've seen it on defense
311
00:16:49,810 --> 00:16:52,570
a little bit, You know, I've
seen some glimpses on defense.
312
00:16:52,570 --> 00:16:54,690
But offense is like, what are we
doing, man?
313
00:16:54,690 --> 00:16:56,490
We're going in places, We're
acting scared.
314
00:16:56,490 --> 00:17:00,410
But Saturday night, man, it was,
it was kudos to the fans.
315
00:17:00,410 --> 00:17:04,210
I think Alex said he was there.
Alex, I love you and fuck you
316
00:17:04,930 --> 00:17:07,690
because the game I went to was a
hurricane and we didn't get to
317
00:17:07,690 --> 00:17:11,890
see lane hopping like it was
when you, man.
318
00:17:12,050 --> 00:17:15,579
I know it was awesome to see.
Well yeah definitely also to see
319
00:17:15,579 --> 00:17:17,460
and it and it and it made a lot
of things talk.
320
00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:21,380
I mean it made a lot of like you
said that energy went through
321
00:17:21,619 --> 00:17:23,540
because one thing we had
mentioned was like let's get
322
00:17:23,540 --> 00:17:27,060
pressure on Jacoby sacking 4
times he got hit more.
323
00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:31,620
I mean it was all might they
were in the face and the biggest
324
00:17:31,620 --> 00:17:34,660
piece of that is somebody who I
didn't get to hear the interview
325
00:17:34,660 --> 00:17:37,860
today for Darius Payne's playing
like a madman right now.
326
00:17:38,420 --> 00:17:42,860
I mean his twitch and and coach
probably mentioned it today.
327
00:17:43,670 --> 00:17:47,870
How he comes off the ball when
it's snapped, he shoots that.
328
00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:50,870
I mean it.
It takes me back to the days I'm
329
00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:53,390
thinking here.
I always remember John Graves
330
00:17:53,390 --> 00:17:57,310
had a quick twitch like John
Graves was a truly a defensive
331
00:17:57,310 --> 00:18:01,350
man when he played down at
Meadowbrook, right, Meadowbrook.
332
00:18:01,350 --> 00:18:04,870
And then when he got up they put
him at D tackle like Corey
333
00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:07,750
Marshall.
Same way the 285 pounds, but
334
00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:11,750
they so quick and twitchy and we
were destroying them all night.
335
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,000
All night, Brian, let's talk,
let's talk about a few other
336
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,800
things.
What have we been struggling
337
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,560
with that showed no signs that
it was ever anything that bad?
338
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:29,200
When you get 38 rushing yards
total on a on, let's see how
339
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:37,200
2224 carries.
Say that again. 24 carries, 38
340
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,240
rushing yards.
That's not good, man.
341
00:18:39,610 --> 00:18:42,650
That's not good, but with, but
with what we've struggled with
342
00:18:42,770 --> 00:18:44,690
in the last few weeks, did it
shock you?
343
00:18:46,850 --> 00:18:50,570
It it, it was it definitely it
it peaked my eyebrows up a
344
00:18:50,570 --> 00:18:52,850
little bit.
I was like, all right, that's
345
00:18:54,050 --> 00:18:57,410
not expected, especially against
this team because as much as
346
00:18:57,410 --> 00:18:59,490
they've been struggling in the
past game, I figured that we
347
00:18:59,490 --> 00:19:03,010
would see them kind of lean on
the run a little bit and they
348
00:19:03,010 --> 00:19:04,930
weren't able to be able to get
really anything going.
349
00:19:05,970 --> 00:19:08,450
It's like, you know, we talked
about it last week.
350
00:19:08,450 --> 00:19:10,800
We talked about.
We got to get Mike back on him
351
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,840
and let him have his roundabout
run fits.
352
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,720
And you know Brian's talked
about tackling like it did not
353
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,240
rears ugly head except for one
play.
354
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,560
Well, which I'm sure we'll talk
about one play we seen no wrap
355
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:30,240
up shot out of a cannon that
gives the freaking running back
356
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,400
a boost to get to the end zone.
But other than that it's like
357
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,920
the run fits were better.
You know what I'm saying?
358
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,430
The.
The tackling was 10 times
359
00:19:40,430 --> 00:19:43,030
better.
Anytime you hold A-Team to 38
360
00:19:43,030 --> 00:19:47,030
yards and it's like you kind of
feel like at one point it was
361
00:19:47,030 --> 00:19:50,110
like we demoralized them, you
know what I'm saying?
362
00:19:50,110 --> 00:19:53,950
Like they fought for a little
bit, but they were so deflated,
363
00:19:53,950 --> 00:19:55,710
man.
And then you got some people
364
00:19:55,710 --> 00:19:57,230
say, well, such and such was
hurt.
365
00:19:57,550 --> 00:19:59,110
I don't give a fuck who was
hurt.
366
00:19:59,470 --> 00:20:01,830
They sent A-Team down here.
They played.
367
00:20:02,190 --> 00:20:05,710
I hate pit.
Last year they had fucking 6
368
00:20:05,710 --> 00:20:10,270
touchdowns and 320 yards rushing
by one player.
369
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:14,550
I don't care if they had Forrest
Gump before he got his braces
370
00:20:14,550 --> 00:20:19,110
off running, the ball hit.
Him and they did all night I
371
00:20:19,110 --> 00:20:21,030
mean and again you mentioned the
tackling.
372
00:20:21,670 --> 00:20:23,710
I don't know if you've got
anything on it Shell but I'll
373
00:20:23,710 --> 00:20:26,710
I'll ask him talking to it.
But it didn't seem like other
374
00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:28,550
than the one plane we're going
to talk about it in a second
375
00:20:28,590 --> 00:20:29,870
here.
I don't.
376
00:20:29,950 --> 00:20:32,550
I didn't foresee any missed
tackles like.
377
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,640
It was wrap up.
It was get down.
378
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,320
It was wrap up.
Stop.
379
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,720
Wait for the gang.
You get there and then they go
380
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,280
down.
It was gang tackling too, like
381
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,640
you said, gang tackling.
You've seen so many maroon
382
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,400
jerseys flying to the ball, you
know, besides just the first
383
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,920
guy.
Unless the first guy got him
384
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,720
down.
And then you had people coming,
385
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,800
like, you know, case in point,
who was it that got the Jacobic?
386
00:21:02,050 --> 00:21:06,090
Kendricks got into COVID and it
was so quick that he got to him
387
00:21:06,090 --> 00:21:09,810
and he thought he was down.
But you had and you had to watch
388
00:21:09,810 --> 00:21:11,130
it in.
Like I had to watch it a couple,
389
00:21:11,330 --> 00:21:12,650
Yeah.
I had to watch it in a couple of
390
00:21:12,650 --> 00:21:14,570
times.
He comes through and punches the
391
00:21:14,570 --> 00:21:20,250
ball out, you know, like and and
recovers the fumble, like that's
392
00:21:20,290 --> 00:21:21,810
that's part of being around the
ball.
393
00:21:21,810 --> 00:21:25,290
That's part of gang tackling.
So love to see it, man.
394
00:21:25,610 --> 00:21:27,970
Yeah, and I'll say this, I mean,
this is the first time I've
395
00:21:27,970 --> 00:21:31,040
really seen.
Us have that kind of identity on
396
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,760
both sides of the ball and in a
game for four quarters.
397
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,720
And I mean, I know it's easy to
say you've got an identity when
398
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,960
things are going well for you,
but we haven't really seen a
399
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,440
whole lot of that the last
couple years.
400
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,600
So it was good to see a game
where you felt like we were
401
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,920
playing to our strengths on both
sides of the ball.
402
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,240
All right, so Sheldon, give us
the number.
403
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,160
How many missed tackles Saturday
night?
404
00:21:55,290 --> 00:22:00,130
So per PFF, we had six total
miss tackles and our our overall
405
00:22:00,130 --> 00:22:03,450
tackle rate was around 83%.
So it's pretty solid.
406
00:22:03,770 --> 00:22:07,090
I think the national average is
probably around 20%.
407
00:22:07,090 --> 00:22:09,410
So we're definitely above above
the average.
408
00:22:10,010 --> 00:22:12,130
Very nice and that's what we
need to see.
409
00:22:12,130 --> 00:22:16,650
It's those continued steps up
and up and up because again, it
410
00:22:16,650 --> 00:22:19,050
ain't gonna be perfect.
We do have some flaws, but The
411
00:22:19,050 --> 00:22:22,810
thing is what I think, I think
as a fan base and probably us
412
00:22:22,810 --> 00:22:25,860
four, that makes us feel better.
Talking about the run fits and
413
00:22:25,860 --> 00:22:29,900
tackling, we know it was an
issue and it's like I know I'm
414
00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:32,740
not going to say it's solved
yet, but at least I know they
415
00:22:32,740 --> 00:22:35,980
are coaching to it and you saw
it in practice.
416
00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:40,500
Just like Tyler Bowen, we talked
about you know he processed it,
417
00:22:40,940 --> 00:22:43,740
you can't get away from the run.
We have to continue doing this.
418
00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:46,580
He didn't get away from it.
So it's they're learning from
419
00:22:46,580 --> 00:22:50,300
those mistakes that continued,
that were continuing to happen
420
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:52,860
and finally they self corrected,
which is always a good thing.
421
00:22:53,370 --> 00:22:54,970
All right.
We do have to talk about what
422
00:22:54,970 --> 00:22:58,650
went bad.
You know, we, we, we, we can
423
00:22:58,650 --> 00:23:01,930
sugarcoat it.
But Brian, where do you want to
424
00:23:01,930 --> 00:23:03,410
start with this?
What it was?
425
00:23:03,690 --> 00:23:05,290
That Saturday night.
Let's start.
426
00:23:05,290 --> 00:23:07,570
We always do the right side of
the offensive line.
427
00:23:10,210 --> 00:23:13,450
It was another subpar overall
performance.
428
00:23:14,730 --> 00:23:18,010
Probably the some of the other
guys on the other side of the
429
00:23:18,010 --> 00:23:21,170
ball had some of the better
games they played in their
430
00:23:21,170 --> 00:23:24,730
career specifically I'd say.
Kaden played really well.
431
00:23:24,970 --> 00:23:27,410
Xavier Chaplin probably played
the best game in his career.
432
00:23:27,770 --> 00:23:31,650
So you know when you have that
there, what's kind of going on
433
00:23:31,650 --> 00:23:34,290
the right side looks stands out
a little bit more, right?
434
00:23:34,290 --> 00:23:40,970
So not a good game from Parker.
Not, not, not as bad as it has
435
00:23:40,970 --> 00:23:45,010
been the last couple.
Probably Schick's worst game,
436
00:23:45,010 --> 00:23:47,490
especially in the run game that
that I've seen this year.
437
00:23:48,890 --> 00:23:52,370
So rough overall on that side.
Thankfully, it didn't end up.
438
00:23:52,810 --> 00:23:57,930
Having a big impact on the game
between what Tudon and Drones
439
00:23:57,930 --> 00:24:01,050
were able to do with some of the
misdirections, some of the
440
00:24:01,050 --> 00:24:03,170
broken tackles and making
something out of nothing.
441
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:07,090
Some of that kind of got glossed
over a little bit where where
442
00:24:07,090 --> 00:24:11,210
there was a a good play from
that wasn't really blocked that
443
00:24:11,210 --> 00:24:14,010
great right.
So you had, you had a few of
444
00:24:14,010 --> 00:24:18,890
those, but Zero had Bob the
Builder inhale all night.
445
00:24:20,050 --> 00:24:22,330
Even when he wasn't making
plays, he was in the backfield,
446
00:24:22,330 --> 00:24:25,450
he was grabbing people.
He was doing all types of shit.
447
00:24:25,610 --> 00:24:29,450
Bob, I'm going to tell you, like
I told Parker, if you don't get
448
00:24:29,450 --> 00:24:33,650
it together, y'all too I'm on.
Since we won, I'm going to let
449
00:24:33,650 --> 00:24:34,890
you.
I'm going to let you live.
450
00:24:36,130 --> 00:24:38,730
You better get it together.
You better protect this
451
00:24:38,730 --> 00:24:39,970
quarterback in this running
back.
452
00:24:40,690 --> 00:24:44,410
So Sheldon, who was our highest
graded alignment in the case?
453
00:24:45,330 --> 00:24:48,490
It was definitely getting more.
I remember looking at the the
454
00:24:48,490 --> 00:24:51,440
grades.
I think it was around like 6063
455
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,840
or something.
He was really good in in fast
456
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,440
protection and pretty good and
and run blocking as well.
457
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,920
But I mean for the most part I
think the office of line was
458
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,800
pretty average to below average
outside of more.
459
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,960
I think the biggest, the biggest
reason for the success as you
460
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,880
guys saw was the the wide
receiver blocking in the
461
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,000
perimeter.
That's how you that's how they
462
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,640
set up all the the outside runs.
You can't.
463
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,320
You can't make those plays work
if you don't have good blocking
464
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,250
from the wide receivers.
But when you got a tight end
465
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:16,650
coach for a wide receiver coach,
you better.
466
00:25:16,690 --> 00:25:19,570
I got a feeling fine tail minds.
You don't block, you don't play
467
00:25:19,570 --> 00:25:22,490
for that man.
And just his face shows it too.
468
00:25:23,010 --> 00:25:25,930
On the other thing, on the
touch, Yeah, on the touchdown
469
00:25:25,930 --> 00:25:29,010
where Drones was dragging three
or four people in the end zone,
470
00:25:29,690 --> 00:25:33,850
the only person I've seen that,
like, really engaged and blocked
471
00:25:33,850 --> 00:25:37,090
was more.
If you go back and watch the
472
00:25:37,090 --> 00:25:39,890
play, you know, it just wasn't
nobody else there, you know?
473
00:25:39,890 --> 00:25:42,050
And the and the three or four
people that he was dragging in
474
00:25:42,050 --> 00:25:44,690
the end zone was the people that
were supposed to be blocked.
475
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:49,730
So you know, like.
Sometimes you get lucky.
476
00:25:49,930 --> 00:25:52,170
Partly got lucky.
His man took himself out of the
477
00:25:52,170 --> 00:25:54,570
play.
Chaplain's man kind of took
478
00:25:54,570 --> 00:25:56,970
himself out of the play, then
redirected and grabbed.
479
00:25:57,490 --> 00:25:59,290
You know, he has some other
people grabbing.
480
00:25:59,290 --> 00:26:03,570
But I mean what I can say.
I know we talking about what
481
00:26:03,570 --> 00:26:06,880
went bad, but what I can say is
even though we was fucking up,
482
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,000
we was doing it full speed.
Yeah, Brody was in there
483
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,840
helping.
He was trying to pull and
484
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,720
taking, taking drones to the end
zone.
485
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,000
And sometimes that's what you
need, man.
486
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,320
You got to, you got to find
something to play for, you got
487
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,960
to play for each other and there
you go.
488
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,680
It looked like we at least tried
to do that.
489
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,520
If you can't play good, play
hard.
490
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,880
There you there you go.
So let's talk about the couple
491
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,800
explosive pass plays that led to
two of Pitts 4 touchdowns.
492
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,320
Do we all agree the first one is
what it is?
493
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,440
Man got beat, Bombed on us.
Bomb can't do nothing about
494
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,360
that.
The second one was the the one
495
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:45,040
Tally was mentioned in a few
minutes ago.
496
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,480
Yes, the obvious.
Nobody wanted to wrap up
497
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,520
Flemeister on that little
screen.
498
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,360
Nobody.
And.
499
00:26:53,690 --> 00:27:00,730
That play which went for, I
believe it was 5061 yards. 6161,
500
00:27:00,850 --> 00:27:07,370
Yep, 61 in the 75 as 136 of
their yards right there on their
501
00:27:07,370 --> 00:27:09,850
total.
I think it was under 200 plus,
502
00:27:09,850 --> 00:27:14,010
but it's still you still don't
like to see it right.
503
00:27:14,490 --> 00:27:17,170
I know, I know, Shelton can
probably pull us up here and say
504
00:27:17,170 --> 00:27:20,890
percentage wise for explosive
plays, we were significantly
505
00:27:20,890 --> 00:27:23,820
lower Saturday night.
Than the national average.
506
00:27:23,980 --> 00:27:26,740
I'll let him I'll let him pull
that up and talk about it but
507
00:27:26,740 --> 00:27:31,220
it's still it's knowing where
you're going it's that whole
508
00:27:32,180 --> 00:27:34,820
forcing teams Brian me and you
always talked about this for
509
00:27:34,820 --> 00:27:40,460
years forcing teams to drive the
ball more plays equals more
510
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:43,780
potential errors.
If if you getting when you
511
00:27:43,780 --> 00:27:47,660
getting shredded with one or two
plays and they go for you know
512
00:27:47,740 --> 00:27:52,300
30-40 plus yards like you don't
have a chance in that.
513
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:56,980
They score and it's like that
whole mentality of keep it in
514
00:27:56,980 --> 00:27:59,180
front of you, you keep it in
front of you, they got to run
515
00:27:59,180 --> 00:28:01,860
another play.
Eventually somebody will screw
516
00:28:01,860 --> 00:28:03,820
up hopefully and good things
happen.
517
00:28:07,180 --> 00:28:09,980
So go ahead, go.
Ahead, I was just going to.
518
00:28:09,980 --> 00:28:11,620
I'll let you go and pitch it to
you.
519
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:14,860
I'll jump in after that.
Sean, what, what was the
520
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:18,020
percentage on explosive plays
from Pitt if you have that data?
521
00:28:18,020 --> 00:28:20,140
If not, Brian will jump in while
you're still researching.
522
00:28:20,380 --> 00:28:22,140
Yeah, you can go ahead.
I'm I'm still looking at it.
523
00:28:22,750 --> 00:28:27,590
Yeah you're good just saying on
explosive plays I mean you know
524
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:31,350
that's really been the the big
struggle for this team in every
525
00:28:31,350 --> 00:28:35,510
game so far.
You know let let those big plays
526
00:28:35,510 --> 00:28:37,630
especially in the run game.
So the fact that we're we're
527
00:28:37,630 --> 00:28:42,390
starting to make some some hay
there is nice but you know you
528
00:28:42,390 --> 00:28:47,830
still have the one like you said
it happens but when on on the
529
00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:50,390
screen just get them to the
ground.
530
00:28:51,620 --> 00:28:56,340
To the ground and The thing is.
And guys are in position to make
531
00:28:56,340 --> 00:28:58,060
the play.
That's the more frustrating,
532
00:28:58,060 --> 00:29:01,940
like if it's a caravan, then you
know it is what it is.
533
00:29:01,940 --> 00:29:07,460
But right, if if you just get
out outflanked, then we got
534
00:29:07,460 --> 00:29:09,220
accepted like they threw a bomb
on us.
535
00:29:09,220 --> 00:29:11,860
Somebody got beat.
Nothing you really can do.
536
00:29:12,060 --> 00:29:16,460
Somebody got beat with no safety
help, but when you when you got
537
00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:19,950
people in position to make a
tackle and the defense somewhat
538
00:29:19,950 --> 00:29:24,030
looks to be called to stop that
play, even though that was a
539
00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:27,350
safety blitz, I mean a corner
blitz, they threw the ball where
540
00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:30,390
the corner came from.
We still have people in place to
541
00:29:30,390 --> 00:29:34,070
make the tackle.
A PR came in like a like he was
542
00:29:34,070 --> 00:29:37,680
shot out of a rocket, just
didn't wrap up and when he hit
543
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,840
the running back, it looked like
he gave him a Mario star and he
544
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,880
took off to the end zone.
I was like, how did he do that?
545
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,480
Like he wasn't running that fast
before he got hit.
546
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,520
So it was just when stuff like
that happens, you know, and
547
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,800
especially in like that point in
the game where you're making
548
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,640
some noise, I think it was 28 to
7 and then they go for a run
549
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,240
like that.
You're like okay, here we go.
550
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,640
That's what Virginia Tech does.
We we give up the big plays, so.
551
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,480
Very true.
Sheldon, were you able to find
552
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,840
anything?
Yeah, I just, I think I so I had
553
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,760
7% exposed to put rate against
Pitts and then I think against
554
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,800
Rutgers it was like 4%, which is
pretty bad.
555
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,160
Marshall was much better,
though.
556
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,000
So The thing is, it kind of
obviously goes up and down game
557
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
to game.
There's a lot of variance in
558
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,520
terms of explicit plays.
I would say this is probably 1
559
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,680
area where I think maybe the
analytics.
560
00:30:35,380 --> 00:30:37,060
Differs from conventional
wisdom.
561
00:30:37,420 --> 00:30:39,860
It's not that explicit plays
don't matter, It's just that
562
00:30:39,860 --> 00:30:43,660
they tend to be pretty random.
And so the most sustainable way
563
00:30:43,660 --> 00:30:47,420
to create offense is to, like I
said, stay on schedule, be
564
00:30:47,420 --> 00:30:51,140
successful, you know, get get
chunk cards when you can.
565
00:30:51,340 --> 00:30:54,420
I think it's what like to the
point you're saying having
566
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:57,740
explicit plays is big because it
reduces the number of plays you
567
00:30:57,740 --> 00:31:02,820
need to score for to to have a
successful drive, which is less,
568
00:31:03,220 --> 00:31:07,660
you know, potential for error.
But when you look at it over
569
00:31:07,660 --> 00:31:09,940
over the course of time, the
best offices are the ones that
570
00:31:09,940 --> 00:31:12,180
stay on schedule, not
necessarily the ones that have
571
00:31:12,180 --> 00:31:14,300
the biggest explosive plays.
So it it does matter, but it's
572
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:16,820
just one component, I think, of
sustaining offense.
573
00:31:17,260 --> 00:31:20,700
And so the biggest thing for me
against Pitt was the fact that
574
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:22,740
tech was, like I said, extremely
successful.
575
00:31:23,060 --> 00:31:27,180
They were They had a 50% success
rate, which would have been
576
00:31:27,180 --> 00:31:30,290
around the 90th percentile.
So that's that's really, really
577
00:31:30,290 --> 00:31:32,370
good.
Yeah, we need to offense.
578
00:31:32,890 --> 00:31:36,570
And I mean, you know to to
Sheldon's point there, when you
579
00:31:36,570 --> 00:31:40,690
look at those, those explosive
plays and you look at what Pitts
580
00:31:40,690 --> 00:31:43,290
been doing all year, The problem
that with Pitts offense is that
581
00:31:43,290 --> 00:31:45,610
they're pretty much only
explosive plays right now.
582
00:31:45,610 --> 00:31:48,770
Like, they have very little.
They're generating very little
583
00:31:48,770 --> 00:31:50,650
offense outside of those
explosive plays.
584
00:31:50,890 --> 00:31:53,560
Right.
But you know the one thing you
585
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,960
talked about Shelton's making a
great point of staying on task,
586
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,320
it's impressive you say we're at
90% success rate when we had 10
587
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,920
penalties at 91 yards.
Now two of those were complete.
588
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,760
Two were bullshit.
I'll straight straight up two
589
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:14,560
were bullshit drone spiking the
ball and a 15 yard penalty and
590
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,640
delaying trash talking.
Really.
591
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:21,820
I mean I'm wondering is it, I'm
wondering is it a cold word that
592
00:32:21,820 --> 00:32:25,540
the the reps said like some some
reps don't like a certain word.
593
00:32:25,540 --> 00:32:28,700
Did you say, you know, I wonder,
did he say that word?
594
00:32:28,860 --> 00:32:31,780
Maybe, you know, I mean like.
The football.
595
00:32:31,780 --> 00:32:35,420
And he's like, wait a second.
Spiking the football gets you a
596
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:36,340
penalty?
What?
597
00:32:36,460 --> 00:32:40,020
Yeah, well, I didn't know that.
Well, apparently get jacked into
598
00:32:40,020 --> 00:32:43,140
the backfield is enough to be to
get a tripping call on these
599
00:32:43,140 --> 00:32:45,800
too, so you know.
I mean so.
600
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,200
That was a that was a phantom
tripping call on Gosnell.
601
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,160
So that's really three.
If you want to add it, add that
602
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,680
one in.
So add that one in there.
603
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,880
So three, the phantom tripping
call, they all are fifteens.
604
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,360
So what that scares me on this
because the other seven were for
605
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,040
60 and you know they were
procedurals.
606
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,400
I think we have one offsides and
those are the ones where
607
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,600
Shelton's just talking about.
We have to, we have to clean
608
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,680
that up because you're not going
to have the success rate of 90
609
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,730
having.
You know, 60 plus yards or
610
00:33:14,770 --> 00:33:17,850
excuse me, 40 plus yards and
procedural penalties because
611
00:33:17,850 --> 00:33:20,970
you're going to be first and 15.
Oh well, instead of section and
612
00:33:20,970 --> 00:33:24,290
six, it's second and 11:00
because somebody jumped.
613
00:33:25,030 --> 00:33:27,350
So it's something I want to see
cleaned up.
614
00:33:27,390 --> 00:33:29,670
I think we all want to see
cleaned up because those are the
615
00:33:29,670 --> 00:33:31,270
ones you like.
That's the ones that I will
616
00:33:31,270 --> 00:33:33,830
litter If I'm sitting here with
my hat on in the man cave and we
617
00:33:33,830 --> 00:33:37,350
do, I throw it to the ground
because it's like, just like,
618
00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:39,910
stop the stupid crap.
Like, stop the dumb shit, you
619
00:33:39,910 --> 00:33:42,390
might as well throw the hat up
because they throw the flags up
620
00:33:42,390 --> 00:33:47,150
because we jumping off sides.
Yeah, I mean, you know, Curtis
621
00:33:47,150 --> 00:33:49,630
you're talking about, I mean, it
ended up not being playing that
622
00:33:49,630 --> 00:33:51,670
much of A role this week.
But I mean, you look back to the
623
00:33:51,670 --> 00:33:55,110
Marshall game with going from.
4th and one to keep the drive
624
00:33:55,110 --> 00:33:58,390
going to tie it to 4th and 6th
and now you got a completely
625
00:33:58,390 --> 00:34:00,710
different mindset of what you
need to do to get that first
626
00:34:00,710 --> 00:34:02,950
down and how pissed does it make
you?
627
00:34:03,990 --> 00:34:06,510
How piss does it make you that
we run the 4th down play where
628
00:34:06,910 --> 00:34:11,230
we put drones on the center and
right behind him and we just
629
00:34:11,230 --> 00:34:13,510
push him forward and he gains
like 3 yards?
630
00:34:13,630 --> 00:34:17,070
We didn't do it again, but I'm
no, but I'm saying if we don't
631
00:34:17,070 --> 00:34:20,429
jump off sides against Marshall,
we can use that play, you know,
632
00:34:20,469 --> 00:34:23,610
and we can get a first down, but
you jump off sides and you make
633
00:34:23,610 --> 00:34:26,050
it 4th and 6th.
Totally different play.
634
00:34:26,530 --> 00:34:27,770
Yep.
All right.
635
00:34:27,770 --> 00:34:30,489
Before we wrap it up, anything
else of what went bad?
636
00:34:30,610 --> 00:34:34,409
Any of y'all want to point out,
I will say this and it's
637
00:34:34,409 --> 00:34:38,090
something that he's they're
going to have to correct and
638
00:34:38,090 --> 00:34:40,130
it's probably because of how
much he's he's carrying the
639
00:34:40,130 --> 00:34:42,850
ball.
I think Drones has fumbled in
640
00:34:43,449 --> 00:34:46,449
three games.
I think he's fumbled three times
641
00:34:46,449 --> 00:34:48,690
or maybe lost three from.
I got to go back and look, I
642
00:34:48,690 --> 00:34:49,969
know he's fumbled a couple
times.
643
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,360
We got to, he's got to clean
that up.
644
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,280
You know, we, he don't want that
stigma on him.
645
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,760
I know he's carrying that ball a
lot.
646
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,920
Sooner or later we're going to
have to not have him carry the
647
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,840
ball 22 * a game.
But we got to, we got to live
648
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,880
with those fumbles because, you
know, in a close game it'll come
649
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,400
back and bite us.
Yeah, the first game he had the
650
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,160
the missed handoff.
So what really like fumble, But
651
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,560
I mean it was it was credited to
him because of the exchange at
652
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,640
the mesh point.
But then, yeah, he did fumble.
653
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,160
Against Marshall, you know,
running the football and then
654
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,400
obviously what was what happened
in the backfield this week.
655
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,640
It gets pits so you know got to
clean up the fumbles.
656
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,280
He's doing good.
I don't think he's got one pick
657
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,200
but you know as as the play
caller man and and I think
658
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,280
drones is doing an awesome job.
Y'all know how I feel.
659
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,240
Y'all know how BCP feels about
drones being Q B1 we.
660
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,760
Have been only since April.
Yeah, yeah.
661
00:35:45,180 --> 00:35:48,220
But him going forward and him
taking that next step is going
662
00:35:48,220 --> 00:35:50,980
to be he's got to clean up the,
got to clean up the turnovers.
663
00:35:51,020 --> 00:35:53,900
Well, all three of them are
different though the the mesh
664
00:35:53,900 --> 00:35:57,340
point, you know.
There's been no issues with the
665
00:35:57,340 --> 00:35:59,620
mesh since then, right?
The run.
666
00:35:59,620 --> 00:36:01,260
It was how he was protecting the
ball.
667
00:36:01,700 --> 00:36:03,500
I didn't see that Saturday
night.
668
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:05,300
When he ran, he was much more
protected.
669
00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:08,300
What it was Saturday night was
he was trembling, trying to get
670
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:10,660
away and he was trying like a
slipped out of his hand.
671
00:36:11,860 --> 00:36:13,980
So it's one of those.
That's where the conversations
672
00:36:13,980 --> 00:36:14,820
got to be.
Hey, listen.
673
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,000
You've got to know when it's
over and you just got to Chuck
674
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,600
it over the head so but but the
way I see it is we've had no
675
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,520
more mess issues.
He looked better protected the
676
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,520
ball Saturday again it's like
they're coaching to it.
677
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,720
He's taking it and he's put it
in practice.
678
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:34,760
So let's clean up the the other
one, let's clean up the well.
679
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,040
When you're getting pressured
and you know and and there's a
680
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,840
no win situation, you've got to
get rid of it quicker.
681
00:36:42,310 --> 00:36:44,510
You can because at that point
there were two guys on him.
682
00:36:44,590 --> 00:36:45,710
Yeah.
And I was going to say it's a
683
00:36:45,710 --> 00:36:49,470
couple of times what he's what
he's good at is also can be what
684
00:36:49,710 --> 00:36:53,070
the Achilles heel will be like.
He's good.
685
00:36:53,390 --> 00:36:56,910
I think, I can't remember was it
fourth, was it fourth quarter
686
00:36:56,910 --> 00:36:59,590
maybe third or fourth quarter
the the the throw he made to
687
00:36:59,630 --> 00:37:03,270
Dequan, right.
He's got people draped on him
688
00:37:03,270 --> 00:37:06,910
and he kind of jumps and throws
the 30 yard pass and we get the
689
00:37:06,910 --> 00:37:14,490
first down to right.
So my thing is like he, he has a
690
00:37:14,530 --> 00:37:18,890
knack for doing certain things,
but the more and more he plays,
691
00:37:18,890 --> 00:37:20,890
he's going to have to see how he
can do that.
692
00:37:20,890 --> 00:37:23,090
Because it was a couple of times
like when they got the
693
00:37:23,090 --> 00:37:27,890
intentional grounding call, like
if he doesn't have just a little
694
00:37:27,890 --> 00:37:30,530
bit more arm on that ball, he
had no receipt was around.
695
00:37:30,770 --> 00:37:34,170
That's a pick and that's a pick
six, you know what I'm saying?
696
00:37:34,170 --> 00:37:37,450
Like that's a long, that is a
long way to the sideline.
697
00:37:37,450 --> 00:37:43,260
So I know he he got a looking at
him play man he looks so mature.
698
00:37:43,460 --> 00:37:46,820
He's such a young guy man and I
just you know I want them to to
699
00:37:46,820 --> 00:37:49,420
get behind him and and keep
developing him because he's
700
00:37:49,420 --> 00:37:52,660
special.
You know I I I kind of thought
701
00:37:52,660 --> 00:37:55,100
it when I seen him and I seen
some of those things that he
702
00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:56,700
could do.
I was like, I think he'll fit,
703
00:37:57,140 --> 00:38:00,660
fit in good in this, in this
offense, but you know just those
704
00:38:00,660 --> 00:38:04,740
things, if he tweaks those, you
know, moving forward, I think
705
00:38:04,740 --> 00:38:06,740
that I think we got a star in
our hands.
706
00:38:06,740 --> 00:38:07,900
I.
Think you're right?
707
00:38:08,180 --> 00:38:09,850
Take the ball, baby.
Protected.
708
00:38:10,210 --> 00:38:11,690
All right, let's move on this
one.
709
00:38:11,850 --> 00:38:15,930
That was obviously the bad.
We still have things we are
710
00:38:15,930 --> 00:38:19,010
griping about because we're
fans, because they ain't no none
711
00:38:19,010 --> 00:38:22,850
of y'all out there below that,
because I know y'all great, but.
712
00:38:23,170 --> 00:38:26,170
Let's do this one next and I'm
going to lead it off Anything
713
00:38:26,290 --> 00:38:29,370
that happened that we were not
prepared for, and this is my
714
00:38:29,370 --> 00:38:35,890
biggie after the big Flameister
touchdown pass after the fumble.
715
00:38:36,270 --> 00:38:39,070
Within 5 seconds, it goes from a
three score lead to A1 score
716
00:38:39,070 --> 00:38:41,470
lead.
And this is where I think you
717
00:38:41,470 --> 00:38:43,350
know people, The question Is it
the right coaching staff?
718
00:38:43,350 --> 00:38:45,430
And this is when it kind of
clicked on me.
719
00:38:45,430 --> 00:38:46,510
We do have a good coaching
staff.
720
00:38:47,230 --> 00:38:51,110
That whole team was calm.
The entire team was calm.
721
00:38:51,310 --> 00:38:55,190
Offense, defense, everybody was
just like, hey, this is all
722
00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:58,870
right, everybody take a breath.
We've made a couple mistakes.
723
00:38:59,230 --> 00:39:01,870
We still got a lead.
We're still playing well.
724
00:39:03,140 --> 00:39:06,540
I mean there have been times in
the past where it wasn't like
725
00:39:06,540 --> 00:39:08,780
that.
It was the old cascade effect,
726
00:39:08,780 --> 00:39:12,580
Brian, right?
Rolling down bad just keeps
727
00:39:12,580 --> 00:39:14,420
happening.
Bad just keeps happening.
728
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:18,820
It didn't happen because after
that, you know, after that
729
00:39:18,820 --> 00:39:24,660
fumble return, after the fumble
return, just a few minutes
730
00:39:24,660 --> 00:39:28,860
later, we going to score again,
we we take the 14 point lead
731
00:39:28,860 --> 00:39:32,010
back and it's just like okay.
That made me feel good.
732
00:39:32,010 --> 00:39:34,330
What about?
You, Brian, I'd say the big
733
00:39:34,330 --> 00:39:39,610
thing there is that, you know,
when we look at just speaking to
734
00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:45,090
your point, not only did they
not panic, but the staff trusted
735
00:39:45,090 --> 00:39:49,610
the players to go out there and
get it back, right, get that
736
00:39:49,610 --> 00:39:52,090
touchdown back and they did it.
So that was big.
737
00:39:52,610 --> 00:39:56,170
My thing is, I didn't expect
that much complimentary football
738
00:39:56,170 --> 00:40:00,150
and one football game.
That's true.
739
00:40:00,550 --> 00:40:02,630
I wasn't expected.
Yeah, that's true.
740
00:40:03,030 --> 00:40:05,710
Well, going back to two what
what Curtis said when he talks
741
00:40:05,710 --> 00:40:08,750
about the calmness kind of
starts with the head man, like
742
00:40:09,110 --> 00:40:11,670
when drones turns that ball
over, which we've talked about
743
00:40:14,030 --> 00:40:18,590
other regimes that we probably
know of would have got tight or
744
00:40:18,590 --> 00:40:21,070
even even even us.
You know, we would have thought
745
00:40:21,070 --> 00:40:22,310
our coaches might have got
tight.
746
00:40:22,590 --> 00:40:25,950
But I've seen and and and we
talked about it you know last
747
00:40:25,950 --> 00:40:30,010
week talking about wanting to
see some you know some action
748
00:40:30,010 --> 00:40:33,890
from the coaches.
I seen pride be lining over the
749
00:40:34,210 --> 00:40:37,890
to drones when he when he lost
that ball and I'm like oh he's
750
00:40:37,890 --> 00:40:39,530
about to get in his ass.
He didn't.
751
00:40:39,530 --> 00:40:41,730
He went over he put his head.
You know I don't know what he
752
00:40:41,730 --> 00:40:43,210
said to him.
He probably said you better go
753
00:40:43,210 --> 00:40:45,290
get it back.
You know it's all right we still
754
00:40:45,290 --> 00:40:47,650
up.
But whatever he said he made
755
00:40:47,650 --> 00:40:50,850
sure his young quarterback was
calm enough to go out and run
756
00:40:50,850 --> 00:40:53,610
the offense.
So Andrea I was wondering where
757
00:40:53,610 --> 00:40:55,090
you was at.
I was about to get pissed, man,
758
00:40:55,090 --> 00:41:00,500
if you don't show up on a win,
but but anyway, yeah, like like
759
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:04,100
Curtis said, man, just the
calmness of the team, you know,
760
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,900
starting with the coach, then
the quarterback, then everybody
761
00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:08,740
else.
We just kept on.
762
00:41:08,940 --> 00:41:12,140
We kept on grooving and then
what Brian said, you know we had
763
00:41:12,140 --> 00:41:16,580
the we had the complimentary
football throughout the
764
00:41:17,180 --> 00:41:21,180
throughout the game.
You know, you kind of when when
765
00:41:21,180 --> 00:41:25,680
things went bad on offense,
defense stepped up, you know
766
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,920
what I'm saying?
When they cut it.
767
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:30,400
So when they cut the lead,
defense went out and got a big
768
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,520
stop.
When they gave the ball back to
769
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,480
the offense, the offense went
and scored.
770
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,720
Because there's been plenty of
times when we get a, we get a,
771
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,840
a, a, a turnover on the 10 yard
line and have to kick a field
772
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,200
goal.
No, we punched it in.
773
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,480
Yes, we did.
Yes, we.
774
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,080
So brings me to my point.
I didn't think I was going to
775
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,880
have to change my underwear as
much as I did.
776
00:41:52,170 --> 00:41:53,850
Yep, Yep.
Man, it was bad.
777
00:41:55,730 --> 00:41:58,570
It was bad, man.
Creaming all day.
778
00:42:01,130 --> 00:42:04,290
It was, it was so many good
points in the game.
779
00:42:04,290 --> 00:42:07,330
It was so, you know, talk about
the complimentary football, you
780
00:42:07,330 --> 00:42:10,370
talk about the calmness of the
team, you talking about what the
781
00:42:10,370 --> 00:42:13,490
coaches did.
It was just great to see a full
782
00:42:13,490 --> 00:42:17,290
game of competent football.
You know what I'm saying?
783
00:42:17,290 --> 00:42:22,480
And and just to lay it out again
my everybody knows my son plays
784
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,120
travel baseball.
So we're at the ball field place
785
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,640
called Albertville this week,
which is still in the in the
786
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,720
country.
It's a lot of country places and
787
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:31,640
if we're playing baseball in
Alabama, you're usually in the
788
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:36,480
country.
So I'm on the on the the group
789
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,520
chat with the fellows and I'm
just getting like late updates
790
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,320
like no, but they're crazy too.
It's like oh screenplay And then
791
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,080
it's like, oh fuck.
And then it's like, fuck the
792
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,030
refs.
And I'm like, like they're all
793
00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:50,950
out of order.
So I don't know what's going on.
794
00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:53,670
So I just got to put it down
until I actually can call
795
00:42:53,670 --> 00:42:58,590
somebody or until I can go check
the score, move around and find
796
00:42:58,590 --> 00:43:02,070
a spot.
So it it was nerve racking to
797
00:43:02,110 --> 00:43:04,630
not be able to watch it while it
was live.
798
00:43:04,910 --> 00:43:09,750
But it also was, you know, very
like it.
799
00:43:09,790 --> 00:43:12,630
It was just, man, when you
looked at the score and we were
800
00:43:12,630 --> 00:43:17,560
up, you know, 28 to 7 and then
they come back and make it 2821
801
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,200
to 28, then we go up and take
the lead, go to 3521.
802
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:22,600
I'm like, we got a football
team, yeah.
803
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,160
We did shown.
What about you?
804
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,880
What surprised you Saturday
night?
805
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,480
I would say how efficient the
passing game was.
806
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:35,160
I mean, I didn't get to the stat
yet, but you look at EPA per
807
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,200
drop back, so that's expected
points added.
808
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,040
Basically it converts yards into
points.
809
00:43:40,490 --> 00:43:43,690
Tech ranked in the 99th
percentile in in that stat.
810
00:43:43,690 --> 00:43:47,050
So they they averaged about what
was I think 12 yards per drop
811
00:43:47,050 --> 00:43:50,130
back and that includes sacks.
Obviously Tech did not give up a
812
00:43:50,130 --> 00:43:53,170
single sack and it also includes
scramble runs.
813
00:43:53,770 --> 00:43:58,290
So they were they were super,
super efficient in terms of the
814
00:43:58,290 --> 00:44:00,370
the dropout passing game, which
I think was really, really
815
00:44:00,370 --> 00:44:02,210
helpful.
They obviously generated some
816
00:44:02,210 --> 00:44:03,970
expensive plays.
The the touchdown passed the
817
00:44:03,970 --> 00:44:07,610
lane where I think he kind of,
you know, sat in that little
818
00:44:07,610 --> 00:44:09,780
underneath spot.
Kind of drift away from the
819
00:44:09,780 --> 00:44:12,340
linebackers who who kind of
cheated towards one side and
820
00:44:12,340 --> 00:44:15,540
then had a ton of running room.
I think it was just it was just
821
00:44:15,540 --> 00:44:18,100
a really good efficient passing
offense, which is pretty nice to
822
00:44:18,100 --> 00:44:20,860
see and I know drones great out
really well on PFF too.
823
00:44:21,260 --> 00:44:23,180
So kind of kind of backs up the
eye test as well.
824
00:44:23,180 --> 00:44:25,820
He was just really smart with
the, smart with the ball and
825
00:44:25,820 --> 00:44:28,500
make good decisions.
Alrighty.
826
00:44:29,060 --> 00:44:30,940
Well, what can we do better
moving forward?
827
00:44:30,940 --> 00:44:33,140
I know the one that we've kept
on there is we.
828
00:44:33,850 --> 00:44:37,050
I think the way Brody Meadow
plays, Brody Meadows needs to be
829
00:44:37,050 --> 00:44:40,530
starting somewhere on the line
when he's got to be starting
830
00:44:40,530 --> 00:44:44,290
somewhere.
I don't know where it is.
831
00:44:44,290 --> 00:44:48,410
I know where Brian wants him.
As long as we get somebody off
832
00:44:48,410 --> 00:44:51,050
the right side of the line, I'm
good at this point.
833
00:44:52,050 --> 00:44:55,090
And and and I think that happens
and we're sitting here talking
834
00:44:55,090 --> 00:44:56,770
about it.
Could we see it Florida State or
835
00:44:56,770 --> 00:44:58,610
wake?
Me and Brian had a little
836
00:44:58,610 --> 00:45:00,610
sidebar conversation the other
day boys.
837
00:45:00,930 --> 00:45:02,490
If it happens, it's going to be
Syracuse.
838
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,360
Because they're going to have
the big break, right?
839
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,200
They're going to have their off
week and then they're going to
840
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,480
have prepping for Syracuse.
I think that's the week if
841
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,280
there's a change made.
Unless they just say, you know
842
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,360
what?
Put the better guy on the right
843
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,720
side.
Yeah, but you'll get, you'll get
844
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:19,280
at least two extra practices in
that period there, so.
845
00:45:20,240 --> 00:45:25,520
Yeah, What else, Brian?
I mean, let's continue stringing
846
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,880
together these multiple quarters
of complimentary football
847
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,680
because say win game, I kind of
like it.
848
00:45:32,110 --> 00:45:35,950
It wins games.
It's nice.
849
00:45:35,950 --> 00:45:40,310
It's nice looking at A at A at a
team that looks competent for
850
00:45:40,310 --> 00:45:42,630
four quarters in pretty much
every phase.
851
00:45:42,830 --> 00:45:44,910
Like, I don't expect them to go
out there and be perfect.
852
00:45:44,910 --> 00:45:46,670
I don't think any of us expect
them to go out there and play a
853
00:45:46,670 --> 00:45:50,470
perfect game, except maybe this
week because that's what's
854
00:45:50,470 --> 00:45:52,670
needed to win.
But we'll get to that after the
855
00:45:52,670 --> 00:45:54,630
break.
True.
856
00:45:55,430 --> 00:45:56,710
True.
Anything else?
857
00:45:56,710 --> 00:46:00,470
Tally well, Brian said.
You know, playing competent but
858
00:46:00,470 --> 00:46:03,500
also playing confident.
You know, knowing that you know
859
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:06,380
your plays, you know, moving
forward, knowing that the play
860
00:46:06,380 --> 00:46:09,820
call is going to work, knowing
that you got the people in place
861
00:46:09,820 --> 00:46:14,060
to make the play.
You know, if you watch Felton on
862
00:46:14,060 --> 00:46:15,540
that first pass, he's missed
some.
863
00:46:15,900 --> 00:46:17,860
You know, he's still, of course
he's he's not perfect, He's a
864
00:46:17,860 --> 00:46:20,820
human, but he's missed some
balls that's been thrown to him.
865
00:46:20,820 --> 00:46:23,460
But when he caught that ball,
you can see the excitement, like
866
00:46:23,460 --> 00:46:25,580
he's got it with two hands.
He's about to squeeze the air
867
00:46:25,580 --> 00:46:28,700
out of it.
Like he was so excited to catch
868
00:46:28,700 --> 00:46:30,860
the ball and get in the end zone
and burn somebody.
869
00:46:30,860 --> 00:46:32,700
Like, that's confidence, you
know what I'm saying?
870
00:46:32,700 --> 00:46:36,060
You can see his confidence
building just every week, you
871
00:46:36,060 --> 00:46:37,540
know, and then Lane getting
back.
872
00:46:37,540 --> 00:46:41,300
I don't think Lane knew he was
100% until he caught that ball
873
00:46:41,700 --> 00:46:44,820
and and took off because I seen
him on the sideline.
874
00:46:44,820 --> 00:46:47,700
Like, I always watch the game
within the game.
875
00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:49,260
Like, I don't just watch the
plays.
876
00:46:49,260 --> 00:46:52,180
I watch sideline stuff.
I watch things that's going on
877
00:46:52,180 --> 00:46:55,820
between the plays, kind of
offensive lineman talking to
878
00:46:55,820 --> 00:46:58,090
each other.
But I seen Lane after he caught
879
00:46:58,090 --> 00:47:01,490
that pass, it was like he was
talking maybe to the other one I
880
00:47:01,490 --> 00:47:03,330
received was and he was like I
thought I was going to get
881
00:47:03,330 --> 00:47:04,730
caught.
And you know what I'm saying?
882
00:47:04,730 --> 00:47:06,170
He kind of filled it in his
hamstring.
883
00:47:06,170 --> 00:47:09,850
But he's, I don't think he's
100%, but I think he may be 90%.
884
00:47:09,850 --> 00:47:13,210
You know, I don't think he knew
that until he he caught that and
885
00:47:13,210 --> 00:47:16,610
he turned it on so because he
hit another gear when he got
886
00:47:16,610 --> 00:47:19,810
that ball.
So you know we need that for us
887
00:47:19,810 --> 00:47:23,370
to to compete and win, but
definitely to compete in this
888
00:47:23,370 --> 00:47:24,930
week.
Confidence man.
889
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,960
Anything else we can do better
moving forward?
890
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:33,200
I would say the offensive line
was still not great.
891
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,320
I think when you look at some of
our rushing numbers, it's it's a
892
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,160
little bit misleading because we
had a ton of big or I would say
893
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,040
big, but we had a ton of chunk
plays.
894
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,880
But in terms of just like, you
know, line yards, which is
895
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,120
basically like yards that you
contribute to offensive line
896
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,880
play, it was not great and it
has been great for most this
897
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:50,960
year.
No, I do think they're getting a
898
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,450
little bit better.
But there's definitely still
899
00:47:53,450 --> 00:47:55,970
some misassignments there.
I think our running success had
900
00:47:55,970 --> 00:47:58,930
more to do with drones kind of
making things happen as well as
901
00:47:58,930 --> 00:48:01,170
like I said getting the ball to
the perimeter and having those
902
00:48:01,170 --> 00:48:04,770
wide receivers block.
So I mean because they we had so
903
00:48:04,770 --> 00:48:09,330
many tosses to to you know,
outside the outside the tackles
904
00:48:09,730 --> 00:48:11,930
that it was kind of hard to
really attribute that too much
905
00:48:11,930 --> 00:48:15,250
to to the online play.
I don't know what schematically
906
00:48:15,250 --> 00:48:17,450
they they looked at with Pitt,
but like every single time they
907
00:48:17,450 --> 00:48:19,770
got the ball outside like we had
numbers, we just, you know, it's
908
00:48:19,770 --> 00:48:20,770
just a matter of blocking it up,
right.
909
00:48:20,770 --> 00:48:24,020
I wish they did.
So obviously a lot of work work
910
00:48:24,020 --> 00:48:26,220
to do with devs line, but at the
very least the wide receiver
911
00:48:26,220 --> 00:48:29,140
blocking was was fantastic.
So some good, some bad.
912
00:48:29,540 --> 00:48:33,180
Yeah, I think, I think Bowen is
figuring out what the team as a
913
00:48:33,180 --> 00:48:35,540
whole, from an offensive
standpoint does well in terms of
914
00:48:35,540 --> 00:48:39,020
the running game and what it
what it doesn't do well is just
915
00:48:39,540 --> 00:48:41,420
line up and run between the
tackles.
916
00:48:41,660 --> 00:48:43,100
Yeah.
Can I say one thing though about
917
00:48:43,100 --> 00:48:46,260
that?
He still keeps it honest because
918
00:48:46,260 --> 00:48:49,540
there were times he was just it
would be Malachi or two, just
919
00:48:49,540 --> 00:48:52,720
like Y'all running inside zone.
We're going to get about 3
920
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:54,320
yards.
If y'all break one, we might get
921
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,080
5.
You can't.
922
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,560
You can't have those linebackers
just flowing right off the bat,
923
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,120
so you got to keep them on us.
You got to keep them.
924
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,160
On us, but I think we figured
out those like 5 or 6 running
925
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,480
plays that we can get some
positive yards on every time now
926
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,560
and we're starting to figure
that out and I think that's
927
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,920
that's helped the offensive line
in terms of the rushing game
928
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,120
more than anything else and when
you.
929
00:49:21,030 --> 00:49:23,270
Things like that make the
lineman's job a little bit
930
00:49:23,270 --> 00:49:27,070
easier too, so the block's a
little bit easier to get there.
931
00:49:29,350 --> 00:49:32,670
So you'll see the grades creep
up a little bit because of that,
932
00:49:32,670 --> 00:49:36,950
too.
Now there's still not we don't
933
00:49:36,950 --> 00:49:40,350
have any.
Yeah, not not a lot of green on
934
00:49:40,350 --> 00:49:42,910
that sheet yet, but you know
we're starting at least creeping
935
00:49:42,910 --> 00:49:45,790
to the yellow on some of those
those PFF grades.
936
00:49:45,790 --> 00:49:48,310
It's.
It's going to be a slow go, but
937
00:49:48,310 --> 00:49:51,870
we are seeing some improvement
and it's to me, it's been that
938
00:49:51,870 --> 00:49:55,950
way since Kyra Jones took out.
I still sit here and y'all if we
939
00:49:55,950 --> 00:50:00,270
take a look at how we're rushing
the ball, we are now, I think,
940
00:50:00,270 --> 00:50:04,590
let me see, 125, one to 300 to
500.
941
00:50:04,790 --> 00:50:08,640
We're averaging about 170.
A game on the ground since
942
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,400
Calvin Jones took over 170 is
about 40th in the country
943
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,760
Rushing the ball.
That's that is a crazy a game.
944
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,360
That's crazy.
Crazy.
945
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,800
Because you tell me right now,
we're going to rush the ball in
946
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,320
the Top 40.
I'll take it every year.
947
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,400
Every year you take it because
you're going to get between
948
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,960
somewhere between 170 and 180 a
game.
949
00:50:27,620 --> 00:50:30,460
People talk and you'll have
people that say, well, you
950
00:50:30,460 --> 00:50:33,220
played this team on this team,
what this and that.
951
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:35,180
We played ODU and couldn't run
the ball.
952
00:50:35,620 --> 00:50:39,740
Couldn't run the ball against
the best 3 defensive We played
953
00:50:39,740 --> 00:50:41,420
tally.
We've ran our best.
954
00:50:41,700 --> 00:50:44,340
We've ran our best against
Rutgers, who's a good solid
955
00:50:44,340 --> 00:50:46,500
defense.
Marshall, who might be the best
956
00:50:46,540 --> 00:50:51,380
G5 defense out there, and Pitt,
who I said before was a top 15
957
00:50:51,380 --> 00:50:54,420
ranked defense or who they play.
Don't care.
958
00:50:54,500 --> 00:50:56,620
The numbers are the numbers.
They played North Carolina.
959
00:50:57,310 --> 00:50:58,950
Kept them look at Ron's.
Got a husband?
960
00:50:59,310 --> 00:51:02,670
I mean, West Virginia is about a
slouch team right now.
961
00:51:02,670 --> 00:51:08,030
Look at their record all.
Right boys, before we get to
962
00:51:08,030 --> 00:51:11,710
know the enemy, let's go take a
break from our digital partners
963
00:51:11,710 --> 00:51:15,430
and Main Street Pharmacy.
I can probably save you a lot of
964
00:51:15,430 --> 00:51:17,350
money and I can take a lot
better care of you.
965
00:51:17,910 --> 00:51:20,750
That's pretty much it.
My name is Jeremy Counts and I'm
966
00:51:20,750 --> 00:51:22,990
a pharmacist.
I want to operate Main Street
967
00:51:22,990 --> 00:51:24,470
Pharmacy here in downtown
Blacksburg.
968
00:51:24,950 --> 00:51:26,710
My brother's A pharmacist.
I'm a pharmacist.
969
00:51:26,710 --> 00:51:28,430
My uncle's A pharmacist.
My dad's a pharmacist.
970
00:51:28,670 --> 00:51:31,630
I remember he would give me M
and M's to count in little pill
971
00:51:31,630 --> 00:51:33,470
counters.
This is something I've always
972
00:51:33,470 --> 00:51:37,350
done, and I'm just lucky that
what I know so well is something
973
00:51:37,350 --> 00:51:39,830
that I can do and feel good
about it and get back to people.
974
00:51:40,630 --> 00:51:42,350
Pharmacies are your frontline
defense.
975
00:51:42,510 --> 00:51:45,310
Pharmacy's job is to make sure
you're getting optimal care.
976
00:51:45,470 --> 00:51:49,030
For the lowest price possible.
Also, we take the pressure off
977
00:51:49,110 --> 00:51:51,150
of emergency rooms.
I'll tell people immediately
978
00:51:51,150 --> 00:51:52,950
when they need to go to the
doctor, or I'll tell them if
979
00:51:52,950 --> 00:51:54,550
they just need a cream over the
counter.
980
00:51:54,890 --> 00:51:57,570
If there's something that isn't
commercially available, if it's
981
00:51:57,570 --> 00:52:00,250
something that's not available
in a certain strength or a
982
00:52:00,250 --> 00:52:02,970
certain form or anything like
that, we'll make it tailor made
983
00:52:02,970 --> 00:52:04,730
medications.
Some of those options save
984
00:52:04,730 --> 00:52:06,610
people a lot of money.
What motivates me?
985
00:52:06,690 --> 00:52:09,450
I get to take care of people and
limit Blacksburg, I thought.
986
00:52:09,450 --> 00:52:13,770
Neat.

Now back to the episode.
Alrighty, and we are back, and
994
00:52:36,930 --> 00:52:41,240
it is time for know the enemy.
As we take a look at the Florida
995
00:52:41,240 --> 00:52:46,040
State Seminoles where the Hokies
will take on them 330 ABC
996
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,120
national prime time game there
boys on Saturday afternoon which
997
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,040
is tally got baseball tournament
this weekend.
998
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:53,440
No.
We off.
999
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:59,800
I don't know I might not need to
watch this shit we're doing good
1000
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:00,760
with.
Hey, watch this.
1001
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,880
Yeah, watch it.
That don't matter. 330ABC at the
1002
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,200
doke.
Let's start with the offense, as
1003
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,320
we always do.
Brian.
1004
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,720
Let's talk about this scheme of
Alex Atkins.
1005
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,840
Yeah, it's that that spread
RPO's got a lot of Prostyle
1006
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,320
elements in it.
They run a mostly 11 and 12
1007
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,640
personnel, heavy dose of 11, but
they'll occasionally go 12,
1008
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:27,960
especially in, you know those
those running situations in
1009
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,000
terms of the running game, they
like to get you a lot of outside
1010
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,920
zone encounter.
They also use the quarterback a
1011
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,000
really good, good amount.
You're going to see a heavy dose
1012
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,480
of Jordan Travis in this game.
They like to use a lot of
1013
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,920
motion, get favorable matchups
in the passing game, use that to
1014
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:47,200
confuse the the linebackers and
in defensive lineman in terms of
1015
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,520
the gap responsibilities.
So that's what to expect from
1016
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,240
the offense, yeah.
And the first player we'll talk
1017
00:53:54,240 --> 00:53:57,440
about is the one who's leading
the charge, Jordan Travis, the
1018
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,920
quarterback giving a little
background on him.
1019
00:54:00,490 --> 00:54:04,490
Listed as dual threat
quarterback 62, about 185.
1020
00:54:06,090 --> 00:54:10,890
He's from North Palm Beach, FL.
So Florida boy went to the
1021
00:54:10,890 --> 00:54:13,330
Benjamin school.
Don't know a lot of people that
1022
00:54:13,330 --> 00:54:15,850
have went there, but that's
where he went to high school.
1023
00:54:16,250 --> 00:54:19,730
Out of high school he was ranked
about an 85 composite 3 star
1024
00:54:21,330 --> 00:54:27,370
dual threat athlete.
Looks like he was 800 and 89th
1025
00:54:27,370 --> 00:54:34,690
in the nation back then.
Out of high school he had, he
1026
00:54:34,690 --> 00:54:38,490
had offers from Louisville where
he committed to and went, but
1027
00:54:38,490 --> 00:54:43,090
we'll get into that.
Other big ones was Georgia,
1028
00:54:44,010 --> 00:54:49,490
North Carolina, you know, then
he had some small stuff like
1029
00:54:49,490 --> 00:54:53,210
Rutgers or I say small stuff,
but other smaller schools,
1030
00:54:53,770 --> 00:54:59,210
Rutgers, Southern Miss, UCF.
He did ended up, he did end up
1031
00:54:59,210 --> 00:55:04,050
going to a committee and going
to Louisville or he transferred
1032
00:55:04,170 --> 00:55:10,570
to Florida State a year later.
And I don't think he really
1033
00:55:10,570 --> 00:55:12,850
needs the introduction on what
he's been able to do at Florida
1034
00:55:12,850 --> 00:55:15,050
State.
He's been lighting it up.
1035
00:55:15,170 --> 00:55:19,530
I mean he can, he can run it.
He can throw it right now just
1036
00:55:19,530 --> 00:55:24,410
to give a couple of stats that
he has just a second.
1037
00:55:25,710 --> 00:55:27,990
Got it pulled up here.
Couple of stats that he has,
1038
00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:36,030
he's got 1028 yards passing this
year, completion rate of about
1039
00:55:36,030 --> 00:55:40,630
61.
He's got 10 touchdowns and one
1040
00:55:40,630 --> 00:55:43,070
interception.
So he's not turning the ball
1041
00:55:43,070 --> 00:55:47,910
over a lot or hardly at all
right now rushing the ball.
1042
00:55:47,910 --> 00:55:49,710
He's carried the ball about 23
times.
1043
00:55:49,710 --> 00:55:54,070
It says he's got 94 yards, 2
touchdowns.
1044
00:55:54,570 --> 00:55:58,090
Brian, what you got on him?
Yeah, I mean he's he's one of
1045
00:55:58,090 --> 00:56:00,650
the better overall quarterbacks
in the country at this point.
1046
00:56:01,970 --> 00:56:05,970
I'd probably put him at least in
kind of that top five,
1047
00:56:05,970 --> 00:56:09,130
definitely top ten in terms of
quarterbacks in the country
1048
00:56:09,730 --> 00:56:12,410
delivers a good and accurate
ball, can really threaten you
1049
00:56:12,410 --> 00:56:15,370
all over the field.
We can throw a deep, pretty
1050
00:56:15,370 --> 00:56:16,810
accurate in the intermediate
game.
1051
00:56:16,890 --> 00:56:20,010
Really good improvisation.
Like I'd say, that's off the
1052
00:56:20,010 --> 00:56:23,050
charts for him in terms of what
he can do when a play breaks
1053
00:56:23,050 --> 00:56:25,770
down.
Whether that's running it or,
1054
00:56:26,290 --> 00:56:29,370
you know, kind of throwing it
off off the off the podium there
1055
00:56:29,370 --> 00:56:33,290
a little bit.
So elite rush stability doesn't
1056
00:56:33,330 --> 00:56:36,170
run the ball a ton, but when he
does, he's very effective with
1057
00:56:36,170 --> 00:56:39,650
it and definitely the scariest
player on that offense overall.
1058
00:56:41,050 --> 00:56:45,490
Shown any sort of more deep
statistics to talk about Jordan
1059
00:56:45,490 --> 00:56:49,250
Travis with?
I would say the biggest thing,
1060
00:56:49,250 --> 00:56:50,770
obviously is just his
experience.
1061
00:56:50,810 --> 00:56:52,450
I mean, he's been in college for
six years.
1062
00:56:52,450 --> 00:56:59,050
Now he has. 1010 career drop
backs, obviously 5th year Forest
1063
00:56:59,050 --> 00:57:01,050
State.
He's gotten better join speaking
1064
00:57:01,050 --> 00:57:04,370
every year if you look at just
his grades and that's not
1065
00:57:04,370 --> 00:57:06,650
necessarily just you know a
reflection of his his actual
1066
00:57:06,650 --> 00:57:09,330
play but you can tell the stats
kind of back up you know how
1067
00:57:09,330 --> 00:57:14,370
good he is.
This one thing I did notice he
1068
00:57:14,370 --> 00:57:17,490
has the fourth lowest adjusted
completion percentage in the
1069
00:57:17,490 --> 00:57:20,210
ACC.
So for all of his accolades and
1070
00:57:20,210 --> 00:57:21,610
honestly, you know he's got so
many.
1071
00:57:22,780 --> 00:57:25,020
Accuracy has not been
necessarily, you would say,
1072
00:57:25,020 --> 00:57:28,220
great.
He also has the lowest
1073
00:57:28,220 --> 00:57:31,580
percentage of pressures
converted into sacks.
1074
00:57:31,580 --> 00:57:34,740
So basically what that means is
when Florida State, even when
1075
00:57:34,740 --> 00:57:37,340
Florida State gives up pressure,
he does not get sacked.
1076
00:57:37,740 --> 00:57:41,500
So that could be sort of a luck
stat, but it could also be the
1077
00:57:41,500 --> 00:57:44,300
fact that he's able to escape
pressure pretty easily and, you
1078
00:57:44,300 --> 00:57:45,580
know, can also move around a
little bit.
1079
00:57:45,580 --> 00:57:47,140
So take that for what it's
worth.
1080
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,600
All righty.
So there's Jordan Travis,
1081
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,920
obviously, I think it's the name
every single person knows.
1082
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,840
I got a feeling just about every
name we talk about here today,
1083
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,920
everybody's probably going to
already know it and that makes
1084
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,040
the next guy very easy.
That's Keyon Coleman.
1085
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,840
Keyon Coleman, 6 foot four, ��215
wide receiver, originally
1086
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:11,920
committed and playing for the
Michigan State Spartans where he
1087
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,320
got some definitely some run
last year before he came in the
1088
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,800
portal.
His original He was a top 500
1089
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:24,160
player, a consensus 4 star down
there, and so far this year just
1090
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:29,520
that line straight up. 17
receptions, 256, six touchdowns
1091
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,560
tells me every 3rd ball that man
catches, he's getting
1092
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,360
touchdowns.
Brian, what are you selling on
1093
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,320
him?
Yeah, I mean, the thing about
1094
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,440
with him, he he's, I think
they're most dangerous overall
1095
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,600
wide receiver in terms of just
scoring potential there.
1096
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,360
Has the ability to beat you
deep, but what he's really good
1097
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,560
at and what they've used a lot,
he's a red zone threat.
1098
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,600
I'm good at using his body to
position and high point.
1099
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:59,560
The ball went in the red area.
You know, he's able to get get
1100
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,120
in the end zone very
efficiently.
1101
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,200
All right, Sheldon, I know
you've got some more deeper
1102
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,920
stats on him.
What's some more deeper stats
1103
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,600
than just that?
17 for 256 and six touchdowns.
1104
00:59:11,730 --> 00:59:12,690
Yeah.
Give me a SEC.
1105
00:59:12,690 --> 00:59:13,490
I'm.
I'm gonna.
1106
00:59:13,570 --> 00:59:17,250
I'm gonna put up right here.
I know that the receivers have
1107
00:59:17,250 --> 00:59:20,730
graded out pretty well.
I'm.
1108
00:59:20,890 --> 00:59:21,770
Just.
Pulling it up.
1109
00:59:22,010 --> 00:59:23,530
You're good.
Well, coming out of college, let
1110
00:59:23,530 --> 00:59:26,650
me just coming out of high
school, He's from Louisiana,
1111
00:59:26,930 --> 00:59:28,610
excuse me.
Yeah, he's from Louisiana.
1112
00:59:29,130 --> 00:59:32,450
And I mean, when he came out,
you talked about the offer list
1113
00:59:32,770 --> 00:59:35,570
tally for, you know, Jordan,
which is pretty solid.
1114
00:59:35,930 --> 00:59:38,050
I mean, he went to Michigan
State, but Baylor?
1115
00:59:38,130 --> 00:59:39,830
Auburn.
Georgia.
1116
00:59:39,830 --> 00:59:42,390
Florida State originally had an
offshore state.
1117
00:59:42,470 --> 00:59:47,030
He was one of those who are like
when Dion was there, was getting
1118
00:59:47,030 --> 00:59:51,270
recruited by Jackson State.
So it wasn't like he wasn't a
1119
00:59:51,270 --> 00:59:55,590
known, he just went up north.
Let's just not talk about
1120
00:59:55,590 --> 00:59:57,630
actually held a Virginia Tech
offer as well.
1121
00:59:57,630 --> 01:00:03,470
So you know, to be a guy of
where he is, where he was rated,
1122
01:00:03,670 --> 01:00:06,710
you know, good player.
We always look at offer sheets,
1123
01:00:06,710 --> 01:00:08,400
right?
And Shelton getting this stuff
1124
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,800
up and there's sometimes you sit
here and wander like this guy's
1125
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,680
getting all these officer, all
these programs.
1126
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,560
How is he just barely a four
stars?
1127
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,000
How is he is a three star?
Especially if you look at Keon
1128
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,240
Cohen's body coming out, he was
already like 6 foot ��495.
1129
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,320
That's the stuff I don't get.
And I know some of it.
1130
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,840
You know, Brian and you and
Shelton, we all talk about,
1131
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,160
well, some of it is they're just
the best athlete on the field
1132
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,270
where they play.
It's just there's no one else in
1133
01:00:35,270 --> 01:00:36,790
there.
So there's some people that are
1134
01:00:36,790 --> 01:00:39,190
hesitant to give them a
significant bump.
1135
01:00:39,790 --> 01:00:43,790
And then sometimes it's just
like, well, you know, he doesn't
1136
01:00:43,790 --> 01:00:46,110
do anything great.
He's not a crisp route runner.
1137
01:00:46,470 --> 01:00:48,310
You know, he doesn't have a
blazing speed.
1138
01:00:48,310 --> 01:00:53,830
So it's just interesting to see
that many offers but you know,
1139
01:00:54,070 --> 01:00:57,830
not the high rating.
Because the people who's given
1140
01:00:57,830 --> 01:01:03,000
the ratings are essentially.
Me, a guy sitting behind a
1141
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,840
computer doing nothing.
I mean, the people who are going
1142
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,240
out and offering scholarships
are people who know what an
1143
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:14,400
offense looks like, know what a
player that they can develop and
1144
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,280
put into that offense.
And you know, looking at a
1145
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,000
player and say, oh, I can use
him to run Jet Sweep with, I can
1146
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,520
use him to, you know, beat the
defense.
1147
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,920
Like that's why you're getting
offers and maybe you're not
1148
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,120
getting rankings, because the
rankings sometimes just have to
1149
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:34,300
do with what camp should go to.
And what amount of money you
1150
01:01:34,300 --> 01:01:38,660
spend to get that ranking.
So that's why those rankings
1151
01:01:38,660 --> 01:01:41,860
sometimes are skewed.
You good to go, Sheldon.
1152
01:01:42,860 --> 01:01:46,700
Yeah, so nothing super eye
popping about Coleman and just
1153
01:01:46,700 --> 01:01:50,060
in terms of kind of the overall
stats averages about 15 yards to
1154
01:01:50,060 --> 01:01:52,460
catch 6 touchdowns.
Like you said, the one thing he
1155
01:01:52,460 --> 01:01:54,420
does really well is he is
shorthanded.
1156
01:01:54,420 --> 01:01:58,060
He does not have a single drop
this year in 17 receptions.
1157
01:01:59,100 --> 01:02:01,410
Name.
That's pretty good, right?
1158
01:02:02,330 --> 01:02:04,610
He's dropping one Saturday.
Thank you.
1159
01:02:04,850 --> 01:02:07,370
Write it down OK.
Well, you know how when somebody
1160
01:02:07,370 --> 01:02:08,890
shoot.
Well, you know how when somebody
1161
01:02:08,890 --> 01:02:11,370
shooting free throws and then
the the commentator goes and
1162
01:02:11,370 --> 01:02:14,290
goes he hadn't missed the free
throw in 99 attempts.
1163
01:02:14,690 --> 01:02:17,010
He misses that next one.
Thank you, Sheldon.
1164
01:02:17,210 --> 01:02:20,250
We might.
Get that up, it's.
1165
01:02:20,250 --> 01:02:21,850
All record, it's all record.
We're good.
1166
01:02:21,850 --> 01:02:25,410
It's all record the first inside
slant he runs with no safety
1167
01:02:25,410 --> 01:02:26,730
over the top.
He's going to break it.
1168
01:02:26,730 --> 01:02:29,520
Watch.
All right, let's go to his the
1169
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,240
opposite side of the field.
Let's talk about Johnny Wilson.
1170
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:37,360
Johnny Wilson was a top 120
player coming out of high
1171
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,440
school.
He is from Calabasas, CA.
1172
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:43,760
Class of 2020, originally
committed to the Arizona State
1173
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:45,960
Sun Devils when her was over
there.
1174
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:51,720
So far this season, You know
well the last couple seasons, I
1175
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:56,200
mean last season he went for
almost 900 yards, 20 yards a
1176
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:01,400
reception, which is pretty good.
And this year 303 yards on 16.
1177
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:05,160
No touchdowns though.
So definitely you would think
1178
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:10,480
it's 6 foot seven, ��225.00 that
he would be slightly more of a
1179
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,240
red zone target, but I guess
not.
1180
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,680
But Siegler, what's the what's
the tape?
1181
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,640
Why doesn't he have any
touchdowns?
1182
01:03:17,670 --> 01:03:20,830
He's kind of the classic big
slot guy, like, you know, you
1183
01:03:20,830 --> 01:03:23,870
see those big slot receivers
matchup nightmares.
1184
01:03:23,870 --> 01:03:28,630
He's that guy, but he's more of
that guy in the in the between
1185
01:03:28,630 --> 01:03:32,990
the 20s, right?
He's not really a burner, but
1186
01:03:32,990 --> 01:03:37,830
he's super shifty, moves really
well for his size, use him on a
1187
01:03:37,830 --> 01:03:41,990
lot of crossers, digs, seams.
So they're getting him up the
1188
01:03:41,990 --> 01:03:43,310
field.
They're not using him.
1189
01:03:44,070 --> 01:03:46,510
On like fades or anything like
that, even in the middle of the
1190
01:03:46,510 --> 01:03:48,390
field.
So you don't see that really
1191
01:03:48,390 --> 01:03:49,870
called in the red zone either
for him.
1192
01:03:49,870 --> 01:03:53,510
He's he's definitely eats kind
of in that intermediate middle
1193
01:03:53,510 --> 01:03:56,390
of the of the offense.
That's where they like to
1194
01:03:56,390 --> 01:04:00,190
attack.
And what do you got on him,
1195
01:04:00,230 --> 01:04:02,870
Sheldon?
Yeah, another solid player.
1196
01:04:02,870 --> 01:04:04,950
Again, nothing super
exceptional.
1197
01:04:05,390 --> 01:04:08,590
Average is about 19 yards per
catch, which is pretty good, and
1198
01:04:08,590 --> 01:04:12,790
he also ranks 27th in the Power
Five in terms of average depth
1199
01:04:12,790 --> 01:04:16,110
of target, about 16 yards.
So it did definitely a lot of
1200
01:04:16,110 --> 01:04:19,870
downfield routes for him, Yeah,
Makes sense when Brian says he
1201
01:04:19,870 --> 01:04:22,910
looks at tape and sees those
crossers, the digs in the seam,
1202
01:04:22,910 --> 01:04:26,670
so that that that's pretty good
to know that he is not going to
1203
01:04:26,670 --> 01:04:29,310
be, I think when you're planning
the defense, right?
1204
01:04:29,950 --> 01:04:31,630
OK, Wilson's not going to be up
on the line.
1205
01:04:32,690 --> 01:04:35,690
However you're going to play
him, whether it be bracket,
1206
01:04:35,690 --> 01:04:40,490
maybe a robber or take your
Best, and maybe Jenkins.
1207
01:04:40,490 --> 01:04:42,650
I mean, Brian could y'all see
Jenkins cover him.
1208
01:04:45,570 --> 01:04:49,410
Not all game, not all game.
Like I said, he moves pretty
1209
01:04:49,410 --> 01:04:54,170
well for a for a big guy.
All righty, let's talk about the
1210
01:04:54,170 --> 01:04:56,250
offensive line.
Next Brian and I want to talk
1211
01:04:56,250 --> 01:05:00,400
about one guy Cuz again in the
era of the transfer portal,
1212
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:05,080
these stories like this are
going to come up more and more
1213
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:10,000
and more and the highest graded
offensive lineman has been
1214
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,480
Blessed Harris or the the
highest for LSU and Clemson was
1215
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,800
blessed Harris.
He's from New Orleans, LA.
1216
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,840
He's from Saint Augustine.
He was the class of 2018 so
1217
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:25,800
everybody do that 181920212223
sixth year.
1218
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:29,630
Y'all know where he played his
ball for the first Four Seasons.
1219
01:05:30,870 --> 01:05:35,430
Where Lamar.
I know where Lamar is cuz I
1220
01:05:35,430 --> 01:05:36,670
don't.
Texas.
1221
01:05:37,230 --> 01:05:39,550
Texas.
Thank you, Shelton, with that.
1222
01:05:39,910 --> 01:05:41,710
Only cuz I have no life but.
Yeah.
1223
01:05:43,430 --> 01:05:45,750
Hey, I know where some schools
are, some schools I don't.
1224
01:05:46,190 --> 01:05:49,070
But he played there for Four
Seasons and then transfers to
1225
01:05:49,070 --> 01:05:52,230
Florida State and is clearly
tearing it up.
1226
01:05:52,590 --> 01:05:56,860
But Brian, let's talk about the
offensive line in general, not
1227
01:05:56,860 --> 01:05:59,140
just Bless.
What are you seeing from them?
1228
01:06:00,900 --> 01:06:03,500
Yeah, I mean I think the big
thing is that they're a good
1229
01:06:03,500 --> 01:06:05,300
offensive line, not a great
offensive line.
1230
01:06:05,300 --> 01:06:08,220
You would, you know, you think
with Florida states on the class
1231
01:06:08,220 --> 01:06:10,100
they brought in, they'd be a
little bit more stacked.
1232
01:06:10,100 --> 01:06:11,580
They're, they're good, not
great.
1233
01:06:12,620 --> 01:06:14,380
They occasionally struggle to
get to the second level of the
1234
01:06:14,380 --> 01:06:17,340
defense.
So you'll, you know potentially
1235
01:06:18,340 --> 01:06:21,300
you'll, you'll see more chunk
plays from their running backs
1236
01:06:21,300 --> 01:06:24,940
than necessarily those really
big gainers, those explosive
1237
01:06:24,940 --> 01:06:26,970
plays.
It's going to be kind of the
1238
01:06:26,970 --> 01:06:30,330
chunk plays like we saw against
Pitt last week there was 8 to 12
1239
01:06:30,330 --> 01:06:33,370
yards consistently.
That's where they kind of like
1240
01:06:33,370 --> 01:06:38,450
eating eat in the in the running
game is in that area have more
1241
01:06:38,450 --> 01:06:45,010
success with the quarterback
zone zone read keepers and they
1242
01:06:45,090 --> 01:06:47,570
they they do occasionally get
confused when you disguise the
1243
01:06:47,570 --> 01:06:49,210
pressure.
So that's some opportunity that
1244
01:06:49,210 --> 01:06:51,610
we may have there.
Getting in the backfield and
1245
01:06:51,610 --> 01:06:54,570
getting after Jordan Travis.
But as Shelton said that that
1246
01:06:54,570 --> 01:06:56,690
still you know, doesn't mean
that you're going to have
1247
01:06:56,690 --> 01:07:00,730
success because Travis is very
elusive in the backfield.
1248
01:07:01,330 --> 01:07:04,330
You're not going to get a lot of
lot of sacks against him, even
1249
01:07:04,330 --> 01:07:05,730
if you are getting in the
backfield.
1250
01:07:07,010 --> 01:07:09,170
So I know you told me you had
some more stuff on this
1251
01:07:09,170 --> 01:07:12,250
offensive line.
What's the data telling us?
1252
01:07:12,290 --> 01:07:14,370
Are they just an average
offensive line with an
1253
01:07:14,370 --> 01:07:19,910
exceptional eluding quarterback?
I would say a little bit of
1254
01:07:19,910 --> 01:07:21,470
both.
They're definitely, I would say
1255
01:07:21,470 --> 01:07:24,150
above average.
So you look at Bless Harris, he
1256
01:07:24,150 --> 01:07:28,590
has the best pass blocking grade
in the ACC according to PFF.
1257
01:07:29,070 --> 01:07:31,790
You got Darius Washington, the
center slash right tackle.
1258
01:07:31,790 --> 01:07:34,390
He's kind of been switched
around a little bit, 0 pressures
1259
01:07:34,390 --> 01:07:36,830
allowed and 68 pass rushing
opportunities.
1260
01:07:36,830 --> 01:07:42,150
So he's their highest credit OL.
And then, you know, you've also
1261
01:07:42,150 --> 01:07:45,590
got Maurice Smith at center.
Who's been actually pretty lowly
1262
01:07:45,590 --> 01:07:46,910
graded.
He's come back from injury,
1263
01:07:46,910 --> 01:07:49,310
missed a couple of games,
Jeremiah buyers.
1264
01:07:49,310 --> 01:07:50,350
The right title has not been
great.
1265
01:07:50,350 --> 01:07:53,430
He's a UTEP transfer.
So when you look at it, it's a
1266
01:07:53,430 --> 01:07:54,950
little bit of a patchwork
offensive line.
1267
01:07:55,350 --> 01:07:57,870
Obviously the the big thing that
Novell had to do when it came to
1268
01:07:57,870 --> 01:08:00,510
FSU is is revamp that offensive
line.
1269
01:08:00,510 --> 01:08:02,790
That was just atrocious under
under Taggart.
1270
01:08:02,790 --> 01:08:05,630
I think that was the biggest
reason that you saw Florida
1271
01:08:05,630 --> 01:08:07,590
State, Conn struggle his first
two years.
1272
01:08:07,590 --> 01:08:10,590
Kind of like Coach Prize doing
here at Virginia Tech now.
1273
01:08:11,220 --> 01:08:14,620
It is a very, very hard position
group to fix overnight.
1274
01:08:14,660 --> 01:08:17,020
And so they're they've been kind
of going through some growing
1275
01:08:17,020 --> 01:08:19,020
pains.
You take some guys from lower
1276
01:08:19,020 --> 01:08:22,020
levels, try to fit them in.
It's it's not always smooth.
1277
01:08:22,020 --> 01:08:23,819
So it's definitely good
offensive line.
1278
01:08:23,819 --> 01:08:27,140
I would say you look at some of
the passing stats there, 8th
1279
01:08:27,140 --> 01:08:30,620
nationally in EPA on passing
attempts.
1280
01:08:30,859 --> 01:08:33,540
So the pass protection has been
good.
1281
01:08:33,819 --> 01:08:35,819
Obviously Jordan, Travis has a
lot to do with that.
1282
01:08:36,180 --> 01:08:39,060
But overall, I would say it's
definitely.
1283
01:08:40,850 --> 01:08:42,770
It's definitely not off the line
that you think you might get
1284
01:08:42,770 --> 01:08:44,609
dominated by.
I think Travis really kind of
1285
01:08:44,609 --> 01:08:49,250
makes them, makes them click.
That makes a lot of sense there.
1286
01:08:49,649 --> 01:08:52,130
It makes a lot of sense there.
I mean, and I think we will
1287
01:08:52,130 --> 01:08:56,130
consider this is clearly the
best offense we will set seen
1288
01:08:56,170 --> 01:08:59,729
all season, the most dynamic
offense we've seen all season.
1289
01:08:59,729 --> 01:09:03,569
So as good as Chris Mark called
last weekend, he's got to
1290
01:09:03,569 --> 01:09:06,290
actually take it up a couple
levels this weekend to keep us
1291
01:09:06,290 --> 01:09:08,090
in this game.
I don't think any of us will
1292
01:09:08,090 --> 01:09:11,420
disagree with that.
Now let's switch to defense and
1293
01:09:11,420 --> 01:09:17,580
let's talk about the four three
defense, Brian, who's it led by?
1294
01:09:18,859 --> 01:09:21,180
Yeah, we got defensive
coordinator Adam Fuller.
1295
01:09:22,300 --> 01:09:24,819
It's a it's a four, three.
But they use a lot of hybrid
1296
01:09:24,819 --> 01:09:26,779
players, especially the front
seven there.
1297
01:09:27,979 --> 01:09:31,779
They've got that that Fox DN
position, that kind of stand up
1298
01:09:31,779 --> 01:09:34,500
defensive end and then they use
a hybrid linebacker.
1299
01:09:35,100 --> 01:09:37,660
You know, we call our star this
There's a stud.
1300
01:09:38,340 --> 01:09:41,260
A stud linebacker.
So that's what you can expect
1301
01:09:41,260 --> 01:09:43,819
from this defense, you know, 4,
three kind of standard.
1302
01:09:44,300 --> 01:09:45,700
You mean you call, you call it a
hybrid?
1303
01:09:45,700 --> 01:09:48,899
It could be, you know, leaning
to that 425 look, the way they
1304
01:09:48,899 --> 01:09:52,939
use that stud linebacker.
But yeah, it's not.
1305
01:09:52,939 --> 01:09:54,860
It's not something that we
haven't seen before.
1306
01:09:55,700 --> 01:09:57,740
Alrighty.
Yeah, when you talk about that
1307
01:09:58,300 --> 01:10:03,060
Fox defensive end and also talk
about the transfers coming from
1308
01:10:03,060 --> 01:10:05,860
lower levels like we've been
talking about, you got to throw
1309
01:10:05,860 --> 01:10:12,110
the name Jared Verse in there.
Jared Verse was a class of 2020
1310
01:10:12,110 --> 01:10:16,910
Nineteen guy and he played his
ball at Albany before he
1311
01:10:16,910 --> 01:10:20,190
transferred.
That's in Albany.
1312
01:10:20,190 --> 01:10:23,030
Great Danes, that's.
That's he plays.
1313
01:10:23,230 --> 01:10:26,710
Curtis, do that one.
He didn't even have a rating.
1314
01:10:26,830 --> 01:10:28,790
Coming out of high school, there
was no rating.
1315
01:10:29,630 --> 01:10:31,870
It says.
He had one offer, which was
1316
01:10:31,870 --> 01:10:35,630
Albany coming out of high
school, and he transferred to
1317
01:10:35,630 --> 01:10:40,380
Florida State.
Where he has been, and if you
1318
01:10:40,380 --> 01:10:44,380
just look at the stats, his
stats are not eye popping at
1319
01:10:44,380 --> 01:10:47,620
all.
I think he's got 11 tackles this
1320
01:10:47,620 --> 01:10:49,660
year.
He's got 11 tackles, half of a
1321
01:10:49,660 --> 01:10:54,420
sack.
Last year he had about 47
1322
01:10:54,420 --> 01:10:58,540
tackles and 9 sacks.
The reason that his stats are
1323
01:10:58,540 --> 01:11:01,340
not eye popping this year, it's
kind of like we talked about
1324
01:11:01,340 --> 01:11:04,020
before we came on.
People are running away from
1325
01:11:04,020 --> 01:11:06,010
him.
Don't let them stats fool you.
1326
01:11:06,010 --> 01:11:08,770
If you go watch him on tape, he
is very disruptive.
1327
01:11:08,890 --> 01:11:10,410
Brian, what you got on Jared
Burst?
1328
01:11:11,330 --> 01:11:14,730
Yeah, he's that Fox DN.
They use him to set the edge
1329
01:11:14,730 --> 01:11:19,650
rush the pastor on the on the
stunt looks usually in the stand
1330
01:11:19,650 --> 01:11:22,090
up position.
He will put his hand in the dirt
1331
01:11:22,090 --> 01:11:25,370
though.
Use him a lot to play games with
1332
01:11:25,370 --> 01:11:26,850
the alvens of line and
quarterback.
1333
01:11:27,410 --> 01:11:30,210
Get them confused, getting them
thinking, getting the
1334
01:11:30,210 --> 01:11:31,730
quarterback speed up a little
bit.
1335
01:11:32,770 --> 01:11:34,490
I mean he's all about
controlling the gap at the run
1336
01:11:34,490 --> 01:11:37,410
game versus penetrating.
He's not a guy that's going to,
1337
01:11:37,930 --> 01:11:39,930
you know, fly out field or
anything like that, but he's
1338
01:11:39,930 --> 01:11:43,170
going to hold his gap play
pretty, pretty sound technique
1339
01:11:44,530 --> 01:11:47,450
and he's really good at really
doing all those things.
1340
01:11:47,450 --> 01:11:50,850
Probably the best overall
defensive player arguably in the
1341
01:11:50,850 --> 01:11:53,290
conference.
Like you said, he doesn't
1342
01:11:53,290 --> 01:11:56,690
necessarily jump off of the stat
sheet, but when he's on the
1343
01:11:56,690 --> 01:12:01,050
field you you find him, he jumps
off the off the tape real quick.
1344
01:12:03,420 --> 01:12:06,820
Yeah, Boston College, when you
looked at that game, they
1345
01:12:06,860 --> 01:12:09,180
essentially had success running
away from him, getting the ball
1346
01:12:09,180 --> 01:12:13,900
outside of him, kind of taking
away his ability to impact the
1347
01:12:13,900 --> 01:12:16,460
running game.
And they will occasionally use
1348
01:12:16,460 --> 01:12:18,660
him in coverage.
They'll call some some zone
1349
01:12:18,660 --> 01:12:21,020
blitzes and he'll be out there
in the flats or covering a guy
1350
01:12:21,020 --> 01:12:23,980
one-on-one.
So look for that as well and
1351
01:12:23,980 --> 01:12:27,420
it's and it's funny because you
know Tally, you talked about him
1352
01:12:27,420 --> 01:12:30,170
being in Albany and again it's
that it's the portal thing.
1353
01:12:30,170 --> 01:12:32,930
We keep talking about it, we
keep talking about it, we keep
1354
01:12:32,930 --> 01:12:35,730
harping on it.
If you go look up right now, the
1355
01:12:35,730 --> 01:12:39,810
NFL draft Jared verse is going
to be taken really high next
1356
01:12:39,810 --> 01:12:43,490
year, really high.
So at all different levels
1357
01:12:43,490 --> 01:12:46,250
there, these guys just waiting,
go find them.
1358
01:12:46,410 --> 01:12:51,490
And you know, obviously, I think
with some of our coaches
1359
01:12:51,490 --> 01:12:54,250
especially like the Lackawanna
Connections and guys who have
1360
01:12:54,250 --> 01:12:57,570
coached all over the country
over their careers, we do have
1361
01:12:57,570 --> 01:13:00,510
that opportunity.
All right, Brian, I'm going to
1362
01:13:00,510 --> 01:13:03,230
pitch it to you next.
Let's talk about Kaylin Deloach,
1363
01:13:04,630 --> 01:13:11,790
linebacker, 6 foot 226 pounds
out of Savannah, GA and Allen's
1364
01:13:11,790 --> 01:13:14,070
high school.
Now he was an original commit to
1365
01:13:14,070 --> 01:13:17,670
Florida State back in 2019 and a
pretty highly rated, wasn't it,
1366
01:13:17,670 --> 01:13:21,870
That was the top 247 player,
Composite 91.
1367
01:13:22,310 --> 01:13:24,550
And I mean, look at his offer
list, it's unreal.
1368
01:13:24,550 --> 01:13:28,270
Florida State, Auburn, MI,
Alabama, Clemson SC.
1369
01:13:28,900 --> 01:13:32,020
I could go on and on and if you
take a look at some of the guys
1370
01:13:32,020 --> 01:13:37,380
that were his primary
recruiters, Kevin Steele, Don
1371
01:13:37,380 --> 01:13:39,420
Brown when he was a DC,
Michigan.
1372
01:13:39,780 --> 01:13:44,620
Pete Golden, the old DC Bama,
Brent Venables at Clemson, they
1373
01:13:44,620 --> 01:13:48,100
didn't put their trash on him.
They put their number one guys
1374
01:13:48,100 --> 01:13:51,940
to recruit this kid and Brian.
Tell us a little bit more about
1375
01:13:51,940 --> 01:13:53,630
Caitlin.
Yeah.
1376
01:13:53,630 --> 01:13:56,670
So he's going to be the second
hybrid player on this defense.
1377
01:13:56,670 --> 01:13:58,390
It's on this list that we're
talking about right now.
1378
01:13:58,390 --> 01:14:02,910
So he's the he's the stud
linebacker primarily aligns to
1379
01:14:03,030 --> 01:14:04,830
to the field side of the
formation.
1380
01:14:06,510 --> 01:14:10,710
A typical you know run like a
linebacker cover like a DB type
1381
01:14:10,710 --> 01:14:16,070
build that you like to see.
When he's on the nub side, he'll
1382
01:14:16,070 --> 01:14:21,300
be in the box and.
That likes to walk out on the
1383
01:14:21,300 --> 01:14:25,700
wide receiver playing that field
side and when he's lot, you
1384
01:14:25,700 --> 01:14:28,820
know, wide, he becomes a fourth,
fourth player in the defense and
1385
01:14:28,820 --> 01:14:31,540
they use him a lot heavy and
blitzes from that position.
1386
01:14:32,220 --> 01:14:34,140
But also he's really good in
coverage as well.
1387
01:14:35,180 --> 01:14:37,940
And he's having himself a really
good season, statistical wise,
1388
01:14:37,940 --> 01:14:44,140
to 17 total tackles, 10 solo, 3
sacks and another tackle and 1/2
1389
01:14:44,180 --> 01:14:48,410
for loss, along with a forced
fumble and a forced fumble
1390
01:14:48,410 --> 01:14:50,850
return for a touchdown, 56
yards.
1391
01:14:51,170 --> 01:14:52,930
Tells you the kid is super
athletic.
1392
01:14:52,930 --> 01:14:56,170
All right, we're going to hit
one more player on the defensive
1393
01:14:56,170 --> 01:15:02,210
side of the ball, and that is a
here Thomas the defensive back,
1394
01:15:03,330 --> 01:15:05,650
another straight up Florida
State player.
1395
01:15:05,650 --> 01:15:07,770
And this kid is one of these
elites.
1396
01:15:07,770 --> 01:15:11,800
He's a class of 2022.
He was a top 100 player.
1397
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,440
He rated at a 96.
Same way you look at his offer
1398
01:15:15,440 --> 01:15:19,360
list, it's all over the place.
It's just about every school you
1399
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,000
can think of.
He was a stud coming out of high
1400
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:25,720
school and obviously if we're
mentioning it here, he's been in
1401
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:29,480
college for what, two years and
he's already making a pretty big
1402
01:15:29,480 --> 01:15:31,800
impact.
Brian, what do you got to take
1403
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:37,000
about this 6 foot, 280 plus
pound defensive back?
1404
01:15:38,190 --> 01:15:40,590
Yeah, he lines up as their field
corner primarily.
1405
01:15:41,030 --> 01:15:43,710
He's really the best cover
corner on the team.
1406
01:15:43,710 --> 01:15:48,110
There's really not a close
comparison, Holds up really well
1407
01:15:48,110 --> 01:15:52,590
in man, end zone, willing
tackler, nothing to write home
1408
01:15:52,590 --> 01:15:54,270
about.
But you know he's not afraid to
1409
01:15:54,470 --> 01:15:56,870
get his head in there and and
and get guys down in the run
1410
01:15:56,870 --> 01:15:59,950
game.
Sometimes I'd say he's too
1411
01:15:59,950 --> 01:16:04,110
reliant on his instincts, but
when they pay off, he's in there
1412
01:16:04,110 --> 01:16:07,230
making a big play, whether it's
a breakup.
1413
01:16:07,550 --> 01:16:09,390
Getting an interception,
whatever it may be.
1414
01:16:09,390 --> 01:16:12,750
He does a really good job of
trusting his instincts and and
1415
01:16:12,750 --> 01:16:14,950
making those type of plays very
nice.
1416
01:16:14,990 --> 01:16:16,710
Yeah, and you talk about the
past breakups.
1417
01:16:16,710 --> 01:16:19,110
He's already got four and four
games this year, so he is
1418
01:16:19,110 --> 01:16:22,150
definitely Johnny on the spot.
Sheldon, you've got a couple
1419
01:16:22,350 --> 01:16:25,070
data points you want to give
about this defense in general.
1420
01:16:25,710 --> 01:16:27,990
What is some of the deeper data
points telling us?
1421
01:16:29,110 --> 01:16:32,470
Sure.
So the biggest red flag for for
1422
01:16:32,470 --> 01:16:36,190
the state they ranked 111th and
Rush Defense EPA.
1423
01:16:36,190 --> 01:16:38,330
So.
They had a pretty porous rush
1424
01:16:38,410 --> 01:16:43,370
defense overall.
Now their past defense, which
1425
01:16:43,370 --> 01:16:45,610
I'm looking at the numbers here,
is much better.
1426
01:16:45,610 --> 01:16:48,410
Their 21st and past defense,
just the the EPA.
1427
01:16:48,410 --> 01:16:52,490
So the analytical stuff.
So run defense is good or excuse
1428
01:16:52,530 --> 01:16:54,330
me, run defense is poor, Pass
defense is very good.
1429
01:16:54,370 --> 01:16:56,610
I think the biggest thing that
stuck out to me when looking at
1430
01:16:56,610 --> 01:17:01,370
Florida State, they are not
elite at really anything, but
1431
01:17:01,370 --> 01:17:03,050
they're pretty much good at
everything.
1432
01:17:03,530 --> 01:17:06,410
So I think that's to me that's a
testament of coaching.
1433
01:17:06,410 --> 01:17:08,810
Like when you look across the
board there's nothing that they
1434
01:17:08,810 --> 01:17:11,690
really dominate but they're just
consistently thought of almost
1435
01:17:11,690 --> 01:17:14,970
every position group and every,
every unit.
1436
01:17:14,970 --> 01:17:18,450
It's just it's it's not it's a
team that that just doesn't have
1437
01:17:18,450 --> 01:17:21,170
a lot of holes.
So and you can you can tell why
1438
01:17:21,170 --> 01:17:23,370
they're so successful.
They just, they just do
1439
01:17:23,370 --> 01:17:26,490
everything pretty, pretty solid
and that's why they're they're
1440
01:17:26,490 --> 01:17:29,760
so tough to be.
Yeah, in, in, in Shelton, you
1441
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,920
looked at some of the deeper
data and I looked at some of the
1442
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,720
old school data.
The yards are true.
1443
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,360
They are 95th in the country in
total defense.
1444
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,920
They are giving up about 400
yards a game.
1445
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:47,200
And then you take a look at
scoring defense, 52nd, 3rd down,
1446
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,080
conversion, 49th.
That's middle of the pack.
1447
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:52,560
There are two places they excel,
though, that I consider
1448
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:53,560
excelling.
It's in their top.
1449
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,880
They're in the top 20 Sachs per
game, obviously.
1450
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:58,640
Jared Verse, you mentioned him
there.
1451
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,400
Couple other good players and
the other one is red Zone D They
1452
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:08,760
are in the top 20 in that they
are giving up less touchdowns or
1453
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:12,160
they're giving up less red zone
scores than by 11 out of 17.
1454
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,360
So that means you get down
there, it's not guaranteed.
1455
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,360
And if you take a look at the
sack numbers, it kind of makes
1456
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:20,440
sense also with the turnover
numbers as well.
1457
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,900
All righty boys, we're going to
get into the keys now and I'm
1458
01:18:25,140 --> 01:18:28,340
going to pitch to each one of
y'all because I think we are
1459
01:18:28,340 --> 01:18:31,340
consensus on this.
For the Hokies to win this game,
1460
01:18:31,340 --> 01:18:32,740
it's going to have to be a
perfect game.
1461
01:18:33,700 --> 01:18:37,780
Florida State is a elite.
I mean, this year, an elite
1462
01:18:37,780 --> 01:18:39,420
team.
Do they have some flaws?
1463
01:18:39,420 --> 01:18:44,140
Yeah, they do.
So Tally, I'm going to pitch to
1464
01:18:44,140 --> 01:18:47,460
you first.
What is one of the Hokie key of
1465
01:18:47,460 --> 01:18:50,300
the biggest Hokie key for you?
For me, I'll say just getting
1466
01:18:50,300 --> 01:18:52,750
drones in space.
You know, letting him be
1467
01:18:52,750 --> 01:18:59,550
himself, you know, get roll out
the pocket RPO's, bootlegs,
1468
01:18:59,910 --> 01:19:03,270
they're going to have to move
that that pocket around because
1469
01:19:03,630 --> 01:19:05,590
he's going to have pressure
coming from everywhere.
1470
01:19:06,470 --> 01:19:08,670
So that's going to be my biggest
key.
1471
01:19:08,670 --> 01:19:10,550
All right, Sheldon, what about
you?
1472
01:19:13,710 --> 01:19:18,870
Man, I would say stay on
schedule.
1473
01:19:20,070 --> 01:19:23,510
Florida State is just again look
at the numbers here.
1474
01:19:23,870 --> 01:19:26,630
So they are actually not great
defensively on 1st and 2nd down
1475
01:19:26,630 --> 01:19:30,590
in terms of success rate.
So if you can, you know stay
1476
01:19:30,590 --> 01:19:33,110
ahead of the stakes, get them on
1st and 2nd, you know that'll
1477
01:19:33,110 --> 01:19:36,630
set you up in a good spot.
I think for me, you know people
1478
01:19:36,630 --> 01:19:40,990
often talk about third down
conversion percentage and well I
1479
01:19:40,990 --> 01:19:43,550
do think it's a valuable stat.
I think it's a lot, a lot of
1480
01:19:43,550 --> 01:19:46,390
times disinterpreted.
The the teams that the best
1481
01:19:46,390 --> 01:19:49,310
teams, the best offices are the
ones that are successful on 1st
1482
01:19:49,310 --> 01:19:51,190
and 2nd down.
It's not about third down.
1483
01:19:51,510 --> 01:19:53,990
You want to avoid third down.
You want to be successful on 1st
1484
01:19:53,990 --> 01:19:59,070
and 2nd so you can set yourself
up ideally for you know easier
1485
01:19:59,070 --> 01:20:01,430
third downs.
So that's one area where firstly
1486
01:20:01,430 --> 01:20:03,190
struggles.
I think if tech can, you know,
1487
01:20:04,430 --> 01:20:06,750
get the running in going and and
be successful in those really
1488
01:20:06,750 --> 01:20:08,390
downs, they'll be in a pretty
good spot.
1489
01:20:10,030 --> 01:20:14,140
Ron, what about you?
Yeah, I think the big thing for
1490
01:20:14,140 --> 01:20:18,780
me is forced turnovers against
this team.
1491
01:20:18,780 --> 01:20:22,940
If we can force them to turn the
ball over, then I think that's
1492
01:20:22,940 --> 01:20:24,780
going to set us up and put us in
a good position.
1493
01:20:24,780 --> 01:20:27,340
They haven't really turned the
ball over that much all season.
1494
01:20:27,980 --> 01:20:30,740
3 total turnovers.
I think we need to get two in
1495
01:20:30,740 --> 01:20:34,420
this game to really have a
chance to be competitive as we
1496
01:20:34,420 --> 01:20:37,340
get down the stretch there in
the in the fourth quarter so we
1497
01:20:37,340 --> 01:20:40,190
can turn them over twice.
We can put ourselves to be
1498
01:20:40,190 --> 01:20:42,390
competitive towards the end.
If not, it might be a long
1499
01:20:42,390 --> 01:20:45,470
contest.
It might be if that's the case,
1500
01:20:45,470 --> 01:20:47,350
and I'm going to kind of
piggyback, and this is both on
1501
01:20:47,350 --> 01:20:49,630
the desensive side of this is on
the defensive side of the ball
1502
01:20:49,630 --> 01:20:52,710
as well.
Keep them in front of you, keep
1503
01:20:52,710 --> 01:20:55,390
them in front of you.
They are obviously a big pass
1504
01:20:55,390 --> 01:20:57,390
play team.
You can see with Coleman's
1505
01:20:57,390 --> 01:20:59,630
numbers, you can see with the
averages, like Shelton talked
1506
01:20:59,630 --> 01:21:03,230
about there with Johnny Wilson
and where, how deep down the
1507
01:21:03,230 --> 01:21:06,350
field he's catching the ball,
you've got to force them to
1508
01:21:06,350 --> 01:21:10,110
drive.
It can't be one or two big plays
1509
01:21:10,110 --> 01:21:15,070
and they're in scoring range.
It's got to be 7-8 plays.
1510
01:21:15,070 --> 01:21:19,670
It's got to be 4 to 7 yards to
play, not ten to 15.
1511
01:21:20,710 --> 01:21:22,430
We've got to keep them in front
of us.
1512
01:21:22,430 --> 01:21:26,830
Now, you know, I also, you know
here in Shelton talk about some
1513
01:21:26,830 --> 01:21:28,350
of the stuff he's talked about
too.
1514
01:21:29,710 --> 01:21:32,510
And knowing that some of their
data is they do have some
1515
01:21:32,510 --> 01:21:35,510
struggles.
How tough is it going to be?
1516
01:21:35,510 --> 01:21:38,520
What are we going to have to do?
Because I'm one of these.
1517
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,440
This is this goes back to the
old days of Georgia Tech.
1518
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:44,560
I I I'd rather live by death
from 1000 cuts and just get
1519
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,400
bludgeoned real quick.
Give me some hope.
1520
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,880
Give me some hope.
Keep the explosive plays away.
1521
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:51,720
All righty.
What?
1522
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,920
We're going to have our
predictions and let's talk big
1523
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,920
screeners, which is presented by
Prize picks.
1524
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,760
Big screeners always presented
by prize picks Prize picks is a
1525
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:03,480
daily fantasy app where you make
entries based on player
1526
01:22:03,480 --> 01:22:07,840
projected outcomes.
Last Week 2 for two Sam Laporta
1527
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:11,840
over 42 1/2 yards and Justin
Jefferson with touchdowns.
1528
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:16,720
My 2 plays This week I stick
home with my 49ers George Kettle
1529
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:19,520
against the Cowboys over 39 1/2
yards.
1530
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:23,240
They can be worried more about
Debo and I uke and Travis Kelsey
1531
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,560
versus the worst passing defense
in the league.
1532
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:28,960
Get him a touchdown versus the
Vikings.
1533
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,400
Yes, we're trying to get on the
Taylor Swift train as well
1534
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:33,200
because it brings more viewers
at least.
1535
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:35,760
That's why not Swifties are
welcome here.
1536
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:39,240

Last week, Brian and Tally did
1542
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,480
not have good weeks.
Hang ahead and shame me and
1543
01:23:00,480 --> 01:23:02,440
Shelton ended.
I ain't had a good week all
1544
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:06,310
year.
Brian 1/4 and 1, tally 1/4 and
1545
01:23:06,310 --> 01:23:08,910
1.
Shelton leading last week for
1546
01:23:08,910 --> 01:23:12,510
one and one and I was at 3, two
and one.
1547
01:23:12,550 --> 01:23:15,910
Brian put three.
I thought we had to hook on the
1548
01:23:15,910 --> 01:23:19,030
Louisville game, the half which
would have gave us some wins,
1549
01:23:19,030 --> 01:23:23,350
but Brian did not.
So is what it is.
1550
01:23:23,350 --> 01:23:24,910
So.
We'll talk talk you a little
1551
01:23:24,950 --> 01:23:28,750
early.
You did, you called it Tally.
1552
01:23:29,150 --> 01:23:32,270
We'll start with you.
What's your prediction on the
1553
01:23:32,270 --> 01:23:34,430
hokey game?
And you know, since we're doing
1554
01:23:34,430 --> 01:23:37,350
a point spread, what's point
spread for the hokey game run
1555
01:23:37,430 --> 01:23:43,350
right now?
25 When we picked it was a. 2424
1556
01:23:43,670 --> 01:23:47,430
OK, so tally who wins, What's
the score and do the hokeys
1557
01:23:47,430 --> 01:23:49,790
cover?
I got the I got the hokeys
1558
01:23:49,790 --> 01:23:53,750
covering in this game, I think.
I think I'm right at what,
1559
01:23:53,870 --> 01:23:57,070
404221?
Something like that.
1560
01:23:58,270 --> 01:24:01,590
I got the hokeys covering but.
Florida State taking it if you
1561
01:24:01,590 --> 01:24:03,950
go on money line.
All right.
1562
01:24:03,950 --> 01:24:08,390
Brian, what about you?
I'm right there with Tally.
1563
01:24:08,390 --> 01:24:12,030
I've got the the Seminoles
winning.
1564
01:24:12,030 --> 01:24:15,510
I got the Hokies covering.
I think it's going to be closer
1565
01:24:15,510 --> 01:24:18,270
than a lot of people think.
I think we're going to get a
1566
01:24:18,270 --> 01:24:21,310
couple things that go our way.
I think we're going to let let
1567
01:24:21,310 --> 01:24:24,150
our nuts hang as a staff and as
a team a little bit.
1568
01:24:24,790 --> 01:24:26,830
Put it all out there.
Because why not?
1569
01:24:26,910 --> 01:24:31,680
It's FSU.
But I think, I think it's going
1570
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:34,880
to be around A3828 win for the
Seminoles.
1571
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:36,960
All right, tell them.
What about you?
1572
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:41,760
Give me the Hokies.
I just got a gut feel they might
1573
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:43,400
get a late touchdown back door
cover.
1574
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:45,160
I'll.
I'll take the Hokies.
1575
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:50,280
All righty FSU winning, though,
right?
1576
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:52,960
Or Hokies winning.
Yeah.
1577
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:53,760
FSU winning.
Yes.
1578
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:54,440
Yes.
OK, OK.
1579
01:24:54,480 --> 01:24:59,260
OK, I don't want people to be
screaming at you next week.
1580
01:24:59,260 --> 01:25:01,140
You said the hoagies are going
to win like.
1581
01:25:02,700 --> 01:25:04,860
We already had that week one
guys.
1582
01:25:04,860 --> 01:25:09,820
We had that week 1, All right, I
am with y'all.
1583
01:25:09,820 --> 01:25:11,740
I think FSU is going to win the
game.
1584
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:14,860
I've got 4127, so I do have BT
covered.
1585
01:25:15,180 --> 01:25:18,180
I think it's going to be a more
exciting game.
1586
01:25:19,260 --> 01:25:20,780
I think it's going to be one of
those games.
1587
01:25:20,780 --> 01:25:23,380
We're going to the fourth
quarter, We're going to be down
1588
01:25:23,380 --> 01:25:28,900
like 10, maybe 14 and and
they're going to put us away.
1589
01:25:28,900 --> 01:25:31,460
But we're going to probably
spring back and get one
1590
01:25:31,460 --> 01:25:33,700
additional score to make it look
a little bit better than what it
1591
01:25:33,700 --> 01:25:36,780
should be.
This is like a litmus test game,
1592
01:25:36,780 --> 01:25:38,420
right?
You're playing one of the best
1593
01:25:38,420 --> 01:25:40,540
teams in the country.
You're playing in their house.
1594
01:25:41,340 --> 01:25:44,100
How do you stack up?
How do you stack up?
1595
01:25:45,220 --> 01:25:51,460
I look forward to seeing it 3:30
on Saturday afternoon.
1596
01:25:51,460 --> 01:25:54,020
And now we've got our big
screeners, and I'm leaving this
1597
01:25:54,020 --> 01:25:57,360
one off because it's always I'm
not going to be able to see it
1598
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:58,880
because of course we've got
baseball.
1599
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:03,360
But the Red River Shootout?
Yes, the Red River Shootout.
1600
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:05,120
It's always be the Red River
Shootout.
1601
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:10,080
Never The Red River Rivalry.
Oklahoma, Texas, Texas, laying 6
1602
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:14,240
1/2 points and I'm going
Oklahoma 49.
1603
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,360
Nothing last year.
I think it's going to stick in
1604
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:18,720
Chris Venables head.
I, Brian, didn't change that
1605
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:20,280
shit.
I told you change that shit.
1606
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:21,840
Pay attention to the text
messages.
1607
01:26:22,550 --> 01:26:28,430
So Oklahoma plus 6 1/2.
I called his ass out.
1608
01:26:28,830 --> 01:26:30,750
I I forgot how bad last year
was.
1609
01:26:30,790 --> 01:26:34,230
I was.
OK, OK, I must have looked at
1610
01:26:34,230 --> 01:26:37,430
the wrong text man.
I did see him sending that text.
1611
01:26:37,590 --> 01:26:39,870
I thank you, Charlie.
I sent Texas originally.
1612
01:26:39,870 --> 01:26:43,350
I said you know what that blow
out last year that don't sit
1613
01:26:43,350 --> 01:26:44,710
right.
Venables ain't gonna let them
1614
01:26:44,710 --> 01:26:47,630
get blown out again.
Oklahoma.
1615
01:26:49,590 --> 01:26:51,310
It's all right.
We we can tell you how I'm post
1616
01:26:51,310 --> 01:26:52,580
editing.
We'll take it out.
1617
01:26:52,580 --> 01:26:53,780
Yeah.
Who's got it next?
1618
01:26:54,020 --> 01:26:55,020
Sheldon?
No, no, no.
1619
01:26:55,020 --> 01:26:56,380
Excuse me, Tally, who you got in
this?
1620
01:26:56,420 --> 01:26:58,020
Game.
You can move that Texas right
1621
01:26:58,020 --> 01:27:02,500
over to my name cuz I got Texas.
I got Texas winning and covered
1622
01:27:02,500 --> 01:27:04,660
in that game.
All right.
1623
01:27:04,660 --> 01:27:07,740
What about you, Sheldon?
Yeah give me Texas.
1624
01:27:07,780 --> 01:27:11,180
I just I really like their team
and they're they keep rising in
1625
01:27:11,180 --> 01:27:14,380
the in the metrics.
I just I'm I'm I'm loving Stark.
1626
01:27:14,540 --> 01:27:18,120
So I'll take Texas.
Well, apparently I went with
1627
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:21,200
Curtis unknowingly here because
I I got the Sooners keeping this
1628
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:23,160
closer than I think a lot of
people think.
1629
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:26,320
I think it's going to come down
to one of those those last drive
1630
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:28,640
deals.
I think they keep it close about
1631
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:31,120
a three-point win for Texas.
So I think they end up, you
1632
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:35,080
know, winning it out, right?
But oh, you going to keep it
1633
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,160
close there?
Alrighty.
1634
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:39,840
Well, let's next go to
Louisville.
1635
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:43,080
I think Tally chose this game
not only because it's going to
1636
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:45,800
be a good game, probably, but
he's heading there in about a
1637
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:47,660
month.
I'm not going anymore.
1638
01:27:48,860 --> 01:27:51,420
What happened?
I just got too much to do, man.
1639
01:27:51,420 --> 01:27:54,780
And and and we was, and we was
horrible at the beginning of the
1640
01:27:54,780 --> 01:27:57,540
year.
So I counseled my room and had
1641
01:27:57,540 --> 01:28:00,740
to do some other stuff.
We got $1600 just going to
1642
01:28:01,060 --> 01:28:03,860
baseball for my son, for high
school baseball.
1643
01:28:03,860 --> 01:28:05,620
So I was like, yeah, we need to
calm down a little bit.
1644
01:28:06,500 --> 01:28:08,100
All right, well, tally, what you
got here?
1645
01:28:08,100 --> 01:28:12,060
Notre Dame laying 6 1/2 a home.
Or excuse me, a road favorite.
1646
01:28:12,540 --> 01:28:15,900
I got Notre Dame, man.
I got Notre Dame winning this
1647
01:28:15,900 --> 01:28:20,580
thing and covering again.
I just, they played a lot of
1648
01:28:20,580 --> 01:28:23,540
close games.
But I just think that, you know,
1649
01:28:23,700 --> 01:28:25,980
Louisville is they're going to
catch up to Louisville on this
1650
01:28:25,980 --> 01:28:27,620
one and and they're going to
win.
1651
01:28:27,620 --> 01:28:31,820
And I say they went about about
win about 10 points, something
1652
01:28:31,820 --> 01:28:36,300
like that 10 point win there.
Alrighty.
1653
01:28:36,300 --> 01:28:39,180
Who next to Shelton who you got
in this game?
1654
01:28:40,460 --> 01:28:44,700
Yes, I will go Louisville.
I think Notre Dame's coming off
1655
01:28:44,700 --> 01:28:47,260
a very emotional win.
They're going to have a little
1656
01:28:47,260 --> 01:28:50,100
bit of let down.
Give me the cards to cover.
1657
01:28:51,940 --> 01:28:53,980
All righty.
Who's next here?
1658
01:28:53,980 --> 01:28:58,180
Brian, you are next on this one.
It's got to be Notre Dame, man.
1659
01:28:59,180 --> 01:29:01,820
You know, looking at this team,
I, I, I know they played a
1660
01:29:01,820 --> 01:29:05,660
couple close games, but I think
Louisville got shown for what
1661
01:29:05,660 --> 01:29:08,140
they were last week and I think
we're going to see more of that
1662
01:29:08,140 --> 01:29:09,380
this week.
Notre Dame.
1663
01:29:10,890 --> 01:29:14,970
That right there.
That right there is exactly why
1664
01:29:14,970 --> 01:29:18,450
it's Notre Dame lay the six and
a half.
1665
01:29:18,450 --> 01:29:22,170
Louisville got shown a lot
plumber came tumbling back to
1666
01:29:22,170 --> 01:29:26,690
earth against NC State and if NC
State had a decent quarterback,
1667
01:29:27,330 --> 01:29:29,370
they would have beat them by
multiple touchdowns.
1668
01:29:29,490 --> 01:29:31,850
I think Notre Dame, yes, it was
Sheldon, you're right.
1669
01:29:31,850 --> 01:29:35,250
It was an emotional victory
because it was a some crazy
1670
01:29:35,250 --> 01:29:38,010
things that happened at the end
of that game against Duke.
1671
01:29:38,610 --> 01:29:42,170
But I think this is going to be
1 where for the first time all
1672
01:29:42,170 --> 01:29:47,490
year Notre Dame isn't going to
see an opposing defense like the
1673
01:29:47,490 --> 01:29:50,770
likes of the way Dukes coached
to be so fun, sound, sound
1674
01:29:50,770 --> 01:29:54,810
fundamentally and nowhere near
the talent that Ohio State has.
1675
01:29:55,610 --> 01:29:58,930
All right, who we got, Brian,
you got the next one.
1676
01:29:58,930 --> 01:30:03,050
You got Maryland and Ohio State.
This is a massive line of Ohio
1677
01:30:03,050 --> 01:30:09,180
State laying 20 points.
Yeah, this is one that I
1678
01:30:09,180 --> 01:30:11,460
couldn't wait to get on there.
You know, Maryland's looks
1679
01:30:11,460 --> 01:30:14,220
pretty good overall at this
point in the season.
1680
01:30:15,020 --> 01:30:17,220
Ohio State's been kind of up and
down.
1681
01:30:17,420 --> 01:30:19,980
That 20 just was a little too
much for me.
1682
01:30:19,980 --> 01:30:22,860
So give me Maryland to cover
here.
1683
01:30:23,460 --> 01:30:25,500
All righty.
I'm on the opposite side of you.
1684
01:30:25,500 --> 01:30:27,340
Give me the Buckeyes and lay the
20.
1685
01:30:29,540 --> 01:30:33,220
I feel like a Maryland defense
is going to be a get right game
1686
01:30:33,260 --> 01:30:36,850
for Ohio State's offense.
I mean, I know Ohio State will
1687
01:30:36,850 --> 01:30:40,330
give up a few points here and
there, but it's to me, it's
1688
01:30:40,330 --> 01:30:41,690
good.
The usual Maryland show, the
1689
01:30:41,690 --> 01:30:44,490
first time they have a big
competitor they're going to,
1690
01:30:44,490 --> 01:30:47,050
they're going to wither up in
the face of adversity.
1691
01:30:47,650 --> 01:30:50,090
So give me Ohio State tally, who
you got on this one?
1692
01:30:50,570 --> 01:30:53,210
We got two teams that I both
hate, so I wish both of them
1693
01:30:53,210 --> 01:30:56,690
could lose, but I'm going to
take Maryland.
1694
01:30:56,730 --> 01:30:59,770
I think Maryland's going to
lose, but I don't think they're
1695
01:30:59,770 --> 01:31:01,650
going to lose by more than 20
points.
1696
01:31:01,650 --> 01:31:04,290
I think it may be a 14 point win
for Ohio State.
1697
01:31:04,630 --> 01:31:08,390
You know, somewhere around 1314
point win Alrighty, Sheldon.
1698
01:31:09,630 --> 01:31:12,230
Given the Terps, I think they've
got a really good offense.
1699
01:31:12,230 --> 01:31:13,750
I love what Locksley's doing
over there.
1700
01:31:13,750 --> 01:31:17,230
He's got Josh Gaddis as his OC,
who came over from Alabama and
1701
01:31:17,510 --> 01:31:19,270
Miami.
Really good, really good
1702
01:31:19,270 --> 01:31:22,910
offensive mind.
So I'll, I'll take Maryland.
1703
01:31:22,910 --> 01:31:26,110
I just love their offense.
Alrighty, there we go.
1704
01:31:26,670 --> 01:31:29,950
We got a lot of three on ones,
except for that Texas.
1705
01:31:29,950 --> 01:31:32,270
Oh, you game.
Let's go to Shelton's game of
1706
01:31:32,270 --> 01:31:35,270
the week.
Shelton, you've got Alabama and
1707
01:31:35,270 --> 01:31:39,710
Texas A and M Alabama, a small
Rd. favorite at 2 1/2.
1708
01:31:39,910 --> 01:31:43,350
Who do you got in this one?
I'll take Alabama at Texas A and
1709
01:31:43,350 --> 01:31:46,110
M without their starting
quarterback Wegman, who got
1710
01:31:46,110 --> 01:31:48,830
injured well, a little while
back.
1711
01:31:49,270 --> 01:31:51,510
I think Alabama's gonna come
with somebody approved, so I
1712
01:31:51,510 --> 01:31:55,390
will take a mad Nick Saban team
anytime, Brian.
1713
01:31:56,820 --> 01:31:59,900
Yeah, I'm going Bama here.
They're still in desperation
1714
01:31:59,900 --> 01:32:03,420
mode They they still haven't
quite figured it all out.
1715
01:32:03,820 --> 01:32:07,740
But I think with what what's
going on at A and MI think
1716
01:32:07,740 --> 01:32:10,700
they're going to get have just
enough to to to cover that 2
1717
01:32:10,700 --> 01:32:11,580
1/2.
We'll see.
1718
01:32:11,900 --> 01:32:15,820
I'd say about a six, six to
seven point win for the Crimson
1719
01:32:15,820 --> 01:32:18,260
Tide here.
Yeah, I'm with y'all, I'm with
1720
01:32:18,260 --> 01:32:20,820
y'all Bam.
That's a small number to lay,
1721
01:32:22,060 --> 01:32:24,740
especially with the A and M
starting quarterback out and
1722
01:32:24,820 --> 01:32:29,350
with A and M the only to me,
they they play 2 good teams.
1723
01:32:29,670 --> 01:32:33,150
They beat Auburn, which the way
Auburn played against Georgia
1724
01:32:33,150 --> 01:32:34,670
last week.
I'm I'm still trying to figure
1725
01:32:34,670 --> 01:32:38,350
out that game and they played
Miami and they got boat race
1726
01:32:38,350 --> 01:32:40,630
starting in the second quarter
to the rest of the game.
1727
01:32:40,630 --> 01:32:43,870
So Alabama covers.
I think they win by like 10
1728
01:32:43,870 --> 01:32:45,750
plus.
Tell them what about you?
1729
01:32:46,270 --> 01:32:48,950
Yeah, I got Alabama, too.
I think Alabama's got a similar
1730
01:32:50,630 --> 01:32:53,240
I don't want to say so.
They got a young quarterback,
1731
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,920
You know, they got a young
quarterback that they got to run
1732
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:59,520
the right place for.
Alabama fans have been so
1733
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:06,480
blessed to have Heisman Trophy
after first round pick after
1734
01:33:06,480 --> 01:33:08,880
Heisman Trophy.
You know every year that they
1735
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:12,080
get a little bit adversity
against a great Texas team, Man,
1736
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:14,920
Texas beat them about 10 points
and they tried to change it up
1737
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:18,120
and then go back to their
quarterback, which had a really
1738
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:20,940
good.
Week last week, I think they're
1739
01:33:20,940 --> 01:33:22,780
going to continue.
They continue.
1740
01:33:22,780 --> 01:33:25,540
Put them in the position to to
be successful.
1741
01:33:25,540 --> 01:33:27,300
They're going to be, they're
going to be hard to beat.
1742
01:33:28,300 --> 01:33:30,940
Alrighty.
So those are our four big
1743
01:33:30,940 --> 01:33:34,020
screeners and the one we always
throw in here just for fun.
1744
01:33:34,500 --> 01:33:36,940
This week we're going down to
Athens.
1745
01:33:36,940 --> 01:33:40,980
Between the hedges.
Georgia and Kentucky, both
1746
01:33:41,020 --> 01:33:43,140
undefeated, both ranked in the
top 20.
1747
01:33:43,140 --> 01:33:48,000
Kentucky coming off they beat
the absolute piss out of
1748
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:49,320
Florida.
Yeah, they did.
1749
01:33:49,480 --> 01:33:53,480
I mean, I walked in and turned
that game on after baseball, and
1750
01:33:53,480 --> 01:33:56,240
it's like 28, three.
It's just like, I thought
1751
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,400
Florida's supposed to be good.
Billy Napier getting fired this
1752
01:33:58,400 --> 01:33:59,440
year.
I'm gonna go ahead and make that
1753
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:01,640
right there.
All right, Sheldon.
1754
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,280
No, Brian, lead us off here.
I think it's Bama, or excuse me,
1755
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:07,160
Georgia 14 1/2.
What you got?
1756
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:10,160
I've got Kentucky covered this
one.
1757
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,000
I think this is going to be a
little bit closer than folks
1758
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:14,200
think.
I think it's going to be about a
1759
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:18,200
10 point game.
I think Georgia is a very, very,
1760
01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:22,280
very good team, but they're not
a blow the doors off.
1761
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:24,960
A team is playing as well as
Kentucky is right now.
1762
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:28,840
Type team yet I don't think
they're that good but with it
1763
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:31,960
being in Athens I've I've got to
give Georgia the benefit of the
1764
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:33,400
doubt.
I think they win this game by
1765
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:37,520
about 17.
I'll lay the 14 1/2 with Georgia
1766
01:34:40,440 --> 01:34:43,480
tally.
I'm going to go Kentucky, man,
1767
01:34:43,480 --> 01:34:46,680
Georgia's been.
Georgia's been a little suspect,
1768
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,160
man, with everybody they played.
They kind of, you know, just
1769
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:52,000
been slipping by.
So I think that Georgia, you
1770
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:54,960
know, it's going to be similar
to the game they were, they
1771
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:58,240
played Auburn this week or last
week, you know, going to be a
1772
01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:00,160
late touchdown for the win for
them.
1773
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:03,040
So I think Georgia wins, but
they don't cover.
1774
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:05,800
Georgia wins, they don't cover.
Sheldon, what about you?
1775
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:11,200
Yes, give me Georgia.
Kentucky coming off a big win
1776
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:13,760
last week.
Georgia coming off a tough,
1777
01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:17,720
close win.
Last week as well.
1778
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:19,440
I think those fortunes are going
to reverse.
1779
01:35:19,440 --> 01:35:22,520
And I'm going to take the dogs.
Big dogs.
1780
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:25,960
Big in Athens.
Alrighty.
1781
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:28,920
Well, that is our big screeners

01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:37,960
money there, boys.
Has anything, bro?
1785
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:40,960
Hey, look, just stay here Now.
In 40 minutes.
1786
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:44,000
We did good tonight.
We ready to roll?
1787
01:35:44,820 --> 01:35:47,260
There we go.
It's always good podcasting
1788
01:35:47,260 --> 01:35:51,660
after a a big win like that, so
everything tastes better,
1789
01:35:51,660 --> 01:35:54,180
everything sound better, it's.
True, man.
1790
01:35:54,460 --> 01:35:56,020
It's just good to get a win,
man.
1791
01:35:56,460 --> 01:35:58,820
It's good to get a win.
And you know what?
1792
01:35:58,820 --> 01:36:00,700
It's good to get a win like
that, though.
1793
01:36:01,300 --> 01:36:03,180
Oh yeah, it's it's the win like
that.
1794
01:36:03,180 --> 01:36:09,580
Because Tally's been mentioned
in big losses, small losses,
1795
01:36:10,500 --> 01:36:14,430
little wins, then big wins,
well, we jumped up and we went
1796
01:36:14,430 --> 01:36:18,150
big win 17 points.
I mean there was a 14 point game
1797
01:36:18,150 --> 01:36:21,950
out of the third quarter, only
considered a blowout but went
1798
01:36:21,950 --> 01:36:24,230
about 17 against anybody still
good.
1799
01:36:25,430 --> 01:36:28,110
It could have been a blowout.
We were this close to a blowout
1800
01:36:28,110 --> 01:36:31,150
if we didn't had that 5 minute
fuck up, five second fuck up.
1801
01:36:31,670 --> 01:36:34,950
But yeah, it's always that good
feeling.
1802
01:36:34,950 --> 01:36:39,790
So anything else to add Shelton
Tally, Brian?
1803
01:36:41,930 --> 01:36:44,290
I'm just going to say like, like
Curtis said last week, man,
1804
01:36:44,770 --> 01:36:48,090
Coach had to let his nuts hang
on somebody's face and I'm glad
1805
01:36:48,090 --> 01:36:51,890
it was Nardooshi.
So good job, coach.
1806
01:36:51,890 --> 01:36:54,130
Yes, I did say that tally was
the only one.
1807
01:36:54,170 --> 01:36:59,570
To hang the nuts on the face,
there was tea baggery in the BC.
1808
01:36:59,570 --> 01:37:03,890
P Tell me last week, if we win,
if we be far the state, I will
1809
01:37:03,890 --> 01:37:08,530
post that clip everywhere.
Curtis, you will be famous.
1810
01:37:09,900 --> 01:37:11,940
Listen, I already had like 3
people text me this week.
1811
01:37:11,940 --> 01:37:14,100
Like did you say he's muffled
somebody's face?
1812
01:37:14,100 --> 01:37:18,300
Like, yes, I did.
All right, well, that is going
1813

1827
01:38:02,990 --> 01:38:05,790
He is not this weekend.
I don't know what's going on.
1828
01:38:05,790 --> 01:38:08,750
He must have made a lot of money
doing when reception or
1829
01:38:08,750 --> 01:38:10,590
something the other weekend.
So he's going to take, he's
1830
01:38:11,150 --> 01:38:13,230
going to take off.
He's drinking some more of that
1831
01:38:13,230 --> 01:38:15,310
ride, man.
He finished that ride.
1832
01:38:15,870 --> 01:38:18,510
Hey, he might have been on the
Hokey's the win.
1833
01:38:18,950 --> 01:38:20,150
He came.
He's in Virginia.
1834
01:38:20,350 --> 01:38:24,270
He doesn't like it either.
But what he is doing is actually
1835
01:38:24,270 --> 01:38:27,270
not sucking the last two weeks.
I'm probably jinxing them right
1836
01:38:27,270 --> 01:38:30,910
now, but.
He's had a two week run of Not
1837
01:38:30,910 --> 01:38:34,070
awful we get.
We get Jason's bet every
