the North will football team.
In 2020.

36
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Under coach with techy.
Who's one of your best friends

37
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,600
in the football world?
He came in struggling program.

38
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,200
They won one game.
You joined him last year?

39
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,000
And y'all want three games?
Yeah that's 30 percent

40
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Improvement.
Robbie.

41
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,900
Why don't you tell them what
y'all did this year man?

42
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:06,200
We made a pretty good turnaround
this year.

43
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,500
We had 73 overall, during the
season, only lost one game at

44
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:18,400
home loss to the arguably, best
kick to 8:18 and he's Siri,

45
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:22,500
you'll know them, there's a
couple of young men in

46
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:24,200
Blacksburg right now from East
3rd.

47
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,000
The gosh male voice and really
good program, but we went into

48
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,600
our first playoff game here.
A week before last their first

49
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,600
playoff game since 2013, I think
it was.

50
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:43,400
Wow, I did not know that you
have been that down.

51
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Wow, I've been told seven and
three regular season was

52
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,600
possibly one of their best
records.

53
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:51,900
One of the top 5 best records in
school district.

54
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,000
Well dude, making some
improvements building some

55
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,800
building, some guys, and hoping
to build something good.

56
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:03,600
Well, first of all, it's
awesome, it's in the turnaround.

57
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,800
Y'all made there so quick.
I know y'all, we mentioned that

58
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,300
there was a kid across town
there.

59
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:14,600
That's currently committed to
State and was heavy on the heavy

60
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,100
on the heavy on the Hokies
radar.

61
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:21,500
So on but also I'm that you all
turned around in in case

62
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:24,000
anybody's wondering where Brian
is Brian's currently riding

63
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,600
Space Mountain around Disneyland
and Disney World right now.

64
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,300
He goes to Disney World, he'll
get the front of the line stuff,

65
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,100
but I'm sure he's having a
blast.

66
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:37,700
I know he mentioned a grilled
cheese.

67
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
Exactly.
I mean, probably just spending

68
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,000
some time in Germany and Epcot
just drinking all day, whatever.

69
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,000
But be honest, truth is the
reason.

70
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,500
This was a day that the Court
stays open, late bronze.

71
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:52,700
Obviously down there with his
family, and Brian hit up, Robbie

72
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:55,900
last week and said, hey, Robbie
season's over for you to do you

73
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:59,600
want to keep looking at some
tape and Robbie, Lee has

74
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,100
graciously, Looked at a lot of
tape between the do gaming.

75
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:07,700
You've been up with two weeks
before watch cake?

76
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:09,600
I needed something to do.
You need is some, you didn't

77
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,300
like a fix.
I need to fix him.

78
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:14,600
Shaking him shaken.
He between the Duke game and

79
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,500
the, and then scouting on
Liberty.

80
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:22,400
So, Rodney's got a ton of us.
So, Robbie, you know, you looked

81
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,500
at the film of this game,
particularly, and I want you to

82
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:29,500
coach, to give me what you're
feeling, what can be done

83
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:30,800
differently, what's on the
right?

84
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:33,200
Because we're going to look at
this a little different, you

85
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,500
know.
Usually, it's me and Brian in

86
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:35,900
here.
Here's a big play.

87
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:39,000
There's a big play.
But having someone like yourself

88
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
on here, it's a different set of
eyes.

89
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,800
It's where we can ask you
different questions.

90
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,900
You've been with us before.
It's always been great.

91
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:48,800
We've, if y'all want to know how
long me Robbie and Brian have

92
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,800
known each other Middle School,
Middle school.

93
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:55,900
So Napoli with each other and
against each other.

94
00:05:55,900 --> 00:06:01,200
Since we were young pop against
each other but we've roughly

95
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,400
known each other 25 plus years.
So it's easy to have them on

96
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,700
here.
No.

97
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:10,900
Robbie I know you said before
you started today you you did

98
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:13,900
want to give a disclaimer so
nobody screaming and manage you.

99
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:18,900
Well, I mean, as a coach I look
at things a little differently

100
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:25,300
than some people do You know,
you deal with players and other

101
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:29,000
coaches and things every day,
and there's some critique,

102
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,900
there's some ways you go about
business and people just

103
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,400
understand that the more I'm
going to be going tough in some

104
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,400
areas on coaches and players as
well.

105
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:45,700
But it's all in, it's all in
improving things and it's just,

106
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:48,400
it's the way I go about things.
The way I see things.

107
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,100
I got it, I got it.
Make sure I continue to write

108
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:57,800
relationships to four kids of
our future and everyone I've

109
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,600
ever known.
But Robbie, Robbie is basically

110
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,400
saying Rob.
He's basically saying if, if

111
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,900
coaches watches thing, I gotta
make sure we're doing everything

112
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:12,300
right here.
Coach Holton, backyard.

113
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:14,800
So I can't be, I can't be
messing around too much.

114
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:17,400
There you go.
There you go.

115
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,200
Alright, so Brian.
You see me Robbie and we'll see

116
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,100
how many times I'm going to do
that.

117
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:24,200
Tonight will Well, I am watching
a matching bag company for a

118
00:07:24,207 --> 00:07:28,400
month worse as you have and
maybe buy me a couple of times.

119
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,700
We got Maxine going on back
here, Toledo versus other heck

120
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:35,800
of a catch by the kid Toledo
versus Bowling Green.

121
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,000
It's like 28 is snowy at the
glass bowl.

122
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:40,100
Yeah.
All right.

123
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:43,700
But let's flip it to this.
Let's recap 24/7 lost by the

124
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:47,600
Hokies, and we're going to start
on offense Robbie.

125
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,000
And, you know, let's take a look
at You know, let's take a look

126
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,500
at Grant Wells and, you know,
you know, the background on

127
00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:02,900
Wells, he played at Marshall for
two years, but the Duke game,

128
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:07,500
you know, it was kind of more of
the same in basically, as we

129
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:12,200
look at it here, let me get the
stat lines up because for some

130
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,400
reason I did not have those
pulled up.

131
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,500
This is what happens when you
have to do this part of the

132
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:19,400
show.
You forget crap, but but Wells

133
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,300
was 16 to 28, he only threw for
77 yards, one touchdown one pic

134
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:28,800
and the ball eight times for 11
yards, did have a long and 15.

135
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,400
So obviously he got hit numerous
times in the backfield.

136
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,700
Yeah.
And and Robbie at me and you

137
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:37,700
were talking earlier this week
and you know, for the year he's

138
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:41,900
under 60% Completion.
He's at like, 58.

139
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,500
What did you notice in this
game?

140
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:47,500
And maybe some of the other
game, I know you've kind of

141
00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:51,500
caught some games off and on,
you know what have you noticed

142
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:55,200
in this game that he does to
maybe help that are Islington

143
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,500
towards being under that 60% in?
Is there anything you think

144
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:05,600
they're trying or potentially he
could do different Honestly

145
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,300
watching a lot of film and I
watch several games, you know,

146
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,300
just TV wise.
And I made sure, I checked out a

147
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,100
good number game, especially the
ones where it look like a

148
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:17,600
struggle.
A little more offensive ly,

149
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:23,600
understand Scout stuff.
In when you see pretty

150
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,300
consistent in staying right
around that 58 to 60 percent

151
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:35,000
completion.
He the biggest thing I see in it

152
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:39,800
is a lot of times he's throwing
in the rain because he's not

153
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:45,100
getting a lot of really good
protection and he's having to

154
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:48,800
move around.
I don't know if it's a if it's

155
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,500
all protection wise if they
build in a lot of the rollouts

156
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,500
and Sprint out to things like
that but there's a couple times

157
00:09:56,500 --> 00:10:00,200
I know gets Duke, they get some
pressure and he tries to step.

158
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:03,500
Away from depression and he gets
forced away from where his

159
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:06,900
receivers are working and he
ends up having there's at least

160
00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:09,700
twice, he had to throw the ball
away against do.

161
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
And as we know, throwing it
away, that's cool.

162
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,600
Bring down that completion,
percentage always will.

163
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:18,100
But when you say step away, but
is that a football IQ thing?

164
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:23,100
Because if you're, if, you know,
if you're on left hashing,

165
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:26,000
everything's going back towards
the right, hash and that side of

166
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,500
the field, nothing.
I know the inclinations get away

167
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:33,500
from pressure, but isn't that
the wrong way to go?

168
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,200
Shouldn't you be stepping up or
stepping towards?

169
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,600
Where your guys are?
You would think so?

170
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:43,300
Yes, sometimes Park is dictating
and try to roll a certain way

171
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:46,800
and then there's even more
pressure in that place, you know

172
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,600
he is he is a quarterback, do we
know will take off and gain what

173
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,600
he can when he came.
And so sometimes going I feel

174
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,700
like going away from it.
He's just like, okay well I can

175
00:10:57,700 --> 00:11:01,000
pick up what I can because
That's not bad.

176
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:05,500
He does have some instances
where he makes pretty good

177
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:07,200
decisions.
Pretty good throws and I don't

178
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,800
feel like this receiver is
helping, sometimes it's fate.

179
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,800
Okay?
Foxy is sometimes, especially

180
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,500
when he's trying to make check
Downs quickly.

181
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:19,700
And it's almost like they're
unexpected.

182
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:23,900
Sometime, got you got you?
And we're going to and we'll get

183
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:26,600
into that out and we'll get into
that a lot because we're going

184
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,600
to, we're going to look at the
pass game and, you know, wide

185
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,400
receivers in the sky.
All positions.

186
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,400
But is there anything you'd ask
him to do different?

187
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,800
Like, you know, he's working
with Brad Glenn which I think,

188
00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:41,300
you know, Brad, right.
Because when you were at

189
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:43,300
Greenville, he was at Western
Carolina.

190
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,500
Aram.
I may have met him once or twice

191
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,400
okay maybe I'm confusing you
with somebody else.

192
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,100
Have a conversation with but is
there are some exactly?

193
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,200
But is there any defensive
coordinator at the high school

194
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,600
level?
But is there anything that you

195
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,900
would be like you're you feel
that some offensive quarterback

196
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:14,000
coaches would be saying to him
about some of those things where

197
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,700
he is, you know, rolling away
with some experience coaching

198
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:23,200
offensive line.
I played offensive line is

199
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,500
sometimes I would look at stress
the pocket, You know, I know the

200
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:32,000
protection is not great, but
sometimes just a little bit

201
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,100
longer, instead of immediately
rolling out moving unless that

202
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:39,900
is their scheme and they're
trying to rolling up, you know,

203
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:44,800
Step Up make, you know, make
Little Steps, move your feet

204
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,000
enough and stay focused on what
you need to downfield and not

205
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,800
fake them as much about the
pressure.

206
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
I know it's tough because he
probably started getting hit a

207
00:12:54,008 --> 00:12:57,800
lot of ways but he runs.
I mean, He's not he's not a guy

208
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:04,000
that seems to just they're all
out of bounds or you know that

209
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,600
which leads to another one
sometimes.

210
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,200
Sometimes you don't have to take
it every point you know that

211
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,400
that's the half yard may not be
worth the huge shots.

212
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,900
You don't take it kinds but you
know what I mean?

213
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:21,000
I think those things make a lot
of difference in.

214
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,600
I know we talked about it is in
the sections and things like

215
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,100
that.
Yeah, where was it?

216
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,500
30 and 32 games, he's played
down 30 and 32 games in eight

217
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:32,900
this season.
Do you want to go?

218
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,500
That is But a lot of what I've
seen in interceptions he's

219
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:41,500
thrown.
It's, you know, there's been a

220
00:13:41,508 --> 00:13:44,300
couple balls and hit receivers
and bounced out and somebody

221
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:48,300
else catches, there's a lot of
errant throws on the road.

222
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:51,900
Things like that.
And I think a lot of that can be

223
00:13:51,900 --> 00:13:54,500
fixed if he would just settle a
little more in the pocket.

224
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,300
Now, by no means am I
quarterbacks coach?

225
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,600
And they made they may have that
set up a certain way, but those

226
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,500
are the little things that I
would be telling my defensive

227
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:07,800
players, if we can get him,
moving the ball is not going to

228
00:14:07,808 --> 00:14:11,600
be thrown quite as accuracy.
They got chance, putting it

229
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,600
bounces off hands without a
shot.

230
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,500
Take it.
So let me ask this next then you

231
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:19,600
talk.
We just talked about the

232
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,300
interceptions.
He's now started three seasons.

233
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:29,800
He started over 30 games, and I
know we've mentioned it, some

234
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,600
are off the hands, some are
airing on the runs.

235
00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:35,800
But how much of his do you think
it's mental now?

236
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,200
And how much is mental?
What do you think has been said

237
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,300
to him about those throws?
Because obviously 8 this year,

238
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,100
obviously significantly better
after game.

239
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:51,200
One through twenty through quite
a few.

240
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,600
Go to you, but will become free.
And that game, right?

241
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,600
I thought it was more, but but
but let's let me look that up,

242
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,100
let me but after that.
But what do you think, mentally

243
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:05,900
when you when it's somebody that
it's like you said want to gain

244
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:08,600
how do you how do you coach to
that?

245
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,400
How do you make that regress to
where it's not there anymore?

246
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,700
While we look at that like you
look at that and you think,

247
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:22,500
okay, 30 and 32 games that looks
like a game How many of you go

248
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:24,300
back?
How many of those games has?

249
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:29,000
He had three or so in the game
that'll cut that number of way

250
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,000
back.
You take that one game away from

251
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,700
government school, like he
allows it to bothering but so

252
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:38,800
much which is a good thing.
As long as he's paying attention

253
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,200
to what's happening and learning
why that happened?

254
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:48,900
I've dealt with coached a lot of
a lot of players I've seen some

255
00:15:48,900 --> 00:15:51,900
quarterbacks that have that
short memory and it's Wonderful

256
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:54,800
Faith, but I've had some
quarterbacks who had a short

257
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,800
memory and didn't think about
why that happened and allowed it

258
00:15:58,808 --> 00:16:03,300
to happen again.
So that's a big thing that I

259
00:16:03,308 --> 00:16:05,400
think you'd look at.
I didn't spend too much time

260
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,600
looking at that, but that would
be a thing.

261
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,100
I would tell him to focus on is
looking at why these why they're

262
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,900
happening, not necessarily
criticizing that they are.

263
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,400
But in a game like ODU, we're,
we're pretty sure he had

264
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:22,100
multiple intersections.
You know what?

265
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:23,900
What was something that was
going on there?

266
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,300
It was he moving us over the
Lions, their long hair passes,

267
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:29,800
that way.
Well, there were couple

268
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,800
progression from those well I
remember that game there were a

269
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,500
that game.
It was like to on him.

270
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:41,400
One on somebody else and one was
a Hail Mary at the end of the

271
00:16:41,408 --> 00:16:43,000
half that don't I don't count
that.

272
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,500
We're all aware of that.
So he had for that game and he's

273
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:50,700
had this he's got nine this year
total not a he's nine touchdowns

274
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,300
nine interceptions.
Now he can't even look in ten

275
00:16:56,300 --> 00:17:01,200
games and with a team that has a
razor in with the team that has

276
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,400
a razor thin margin.
Like Virginia Tech this year

277
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,700
that I can turn over a game does
not help either.

278
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:09,800
Want a game.
And he's also, you know, we look

279
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,700
at the Georgia Tech game.
He had to he had three total

280
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:19,300
turnovers to or fumbles.
And three of those were in Prime

281
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:21,400
field position where it was time
to score.

282
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:26,099
And one was, at the end of the
game, when Tucker Holloway had

283
00:17:26,099 --> 00:17:30,300
set the team up, almost near
Midfield, where you think it's

284
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:33,400
25 yards and 35 seconds?
You can get it feel a little

285
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,200
Ranger in this game.
Yep.

286
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,800
All right, so give me this is
your Honest assessment.

287
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:43,500
In your opinion, are the Hokies
bringing in another quarterback

288
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:48,700
through the portal.
Next year, I would I would think

289
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:51,500
they need to be looking for
something.

290
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,700
Look, look for an upgrade.
I'm not saying that you have to

291
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,300
okay but you look for it if
there if there's an obvious

292
00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:04,500
upgrade their then you have to
consider it Wells has another

293
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:08,200
year left, correct?
Is it just one year left?

294
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,600
You got two years left to your
right?

295
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,000
That he's got two years left.
Yeah, he continues to show some

296
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,500
improvement.
See what another spring does.

297
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:19,700
See how we really go.
It's the brown kids done after

298
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:22,400
this gear, right?
Brown is done after this year,

299
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,300
correct Brunson.
After this, you see how he

300
00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:29,600
continues to progress, maybe
bringing somebody into gives

301
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,700
them a little more competition,
will force them to improve a

302
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:36,600
little bit more.
He may improve more with with

303
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,200
Little bit better protection in
front of that.

304
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,500
That's a big thing.
He may have brewed with a solid

305
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:50,000
Run game.
One thing, I really noticed in

306
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,900
that Duke game the other day,
the first their first

307
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:56,400
possession, their first place
from school.

308
00:18:57,700 --> 00:19:01,400
They score, they run a play
action and throw it down inside

309
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,100
and noren coverage.
And I mean, beat a man

310
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:07,900
one-on-one coverage.
Because everybody was so focused

311
00:19:07,900 --> 00:19:11,100
on that play action right from
the beginning, the thought of

312
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:16,000
that run game and getting it
started froze them up long

313
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,500
enough.
To get enough separation.

314
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,200
When you find out later that
there's not a really big

315
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,300
presence in their own game, then
you can focus on what they're

316
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:28,700
going to try to take away and
that's putting pressure on him

317
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:31,200
and making him throw it when
he's not ready to put out.

318
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:35,900
And I mean, I think there's
several aspects that can be

319
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:40,600
improved that they Grant Wheels
may be fine in that position.

320
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:45,900
But if there's an obvious way to
upgrade then I don't see why you

321
00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:49,600
wouldn't get it.
Nice.

322
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,700
Just going to say Lavar, we
appreciate you watching tonight.

323
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:57,300
Good evening to you, sir.
All right, let's go next.

324
00:19:57,300 --> 00:19:59,800
Let's look at the wide receivers
and tight end and some of the

325
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,600
pass game Concepts.
Now, a lot of people are

326
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,800
complaining about Tyler bones,
lack of creativity.

327
00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:11,300
Now, hold on, I know what you're
going to say, but let's just

328
00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:14,000
we'll get to that.
Next, let me pivot it here but

329
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,000
just from what you see, as far
as the passing Concepts go, is

330
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,400
he being creative with some of
the The play designs out there.

331
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,800
I can see and I see things that
and I don't want anybody take

332
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,000
this the wrong way.
I see things that normal people

333
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,100
watch the football, don't see
1000%, I wouldn't see it.

334
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,200
That's why I talk to you about
all the time.

335
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:48,100
You can see certain ways they
run for certain things that are

336
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:51,700
ruined when they make a run
play, things like that.

337
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,200
So it's surveyor.
But are you getting enough in

338
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:02,700
other situations that you want
them to go after that?

339
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:04,200
Okay.
Are you getting enough in the

340
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,000
Run game to Warrant the pressure
to come to it?

341
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,900
So you can pull and throw the
RPO and make it a packet okay?

342
00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:17,700
Okay I think your creativity is
there okay but I don't think

343
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:20,500
they can get to it yet.
They're standing at the door

344
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:23,400
trying to get in but the key
won't go into lock on.

345
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:26,500
No way.
So so when you looked at the

346
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:29,400
concepts and stuff, you say,
well that's a creative play.

347
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,900
That's your creative play.
And I think it's going to go to

348
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:35,100
what I'm going to ask next is
probably why we don't see it.

349
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:38,400
Someone like me or laymen that I
look at it and say, well,

350
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,700
thousand stupid play.
We got - four yards and that's

351
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:46,500
his.
Do you think it is For him in to

352
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,600
be creative to show the
creativity.

353
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:51,500
In the way I said it is
basically the bread and butter

354
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:54,900
is molded and the cheese is
melted and butters melted.

355
00:21:55,500 --> 00:22:02,700
Yeah. we're at right now we're
coming, you know, we got the

356
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:08,400
butter on the bread, but the
toaster heated up, Not to me.

357
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,500
We wish you put that with you
put the butter on the bread but

358
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,600
if it ain't If we can't put the
heat to it we can't toast

359
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,200
anybody with it.
It's true.

360
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,600
And that's a big thing.
I think we scrounged up here

361
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,700
ingredients, but now we've got a
now, we've got to put it all

362
00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:32,100
together to be ready to use it.
And you have two bonds that all

363
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:34,500
the time.
You have to have something that

364
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:37,600
you can sit on, you have to have
that bread and butter that you

365
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,300
can count on.
And when you get it's different,

366
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:43,600
it's a different business when
you're sitting here watching the

367
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,900
team and Go, they do this well
and we got to stop it.

368
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,300
And you're so focused on
stopping that.

369
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:55,000
Now all of a sudden that's
sweet.

370
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,500
Become even while we were
running that power turns into we

371
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:02,200
can pull it from that power
because they figured out, they

372
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,700
have to stop it.
And I concur that slant off.

373
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:08,100
Yo, and it back because that's a
few, throwing down, hard and run

374
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:12,400
kit and run, help, run support,
and then that slant gets under

375
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,500
that corner and we can break it
for a 17, instead of two or

376
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:22,800
three is No, that's a that's a
good week that we do without

377
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,600
asking.
What do you think?

378
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,500
Do you think that's what
happened on Saturday that being

379
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:33,200
one of the first plays, Randy
knew the Duke safety, he is

380
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,900
going.
If he sees it early, he is going

381
00:23:35,900 --> 00:23:41,900
to crash and as soon as he
crashed, it was Loft and wide

382
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:47,000
open for a massive 50 plus yard
touchdown, where it doesn't look

383
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,800
even, even though the Hokies Run
game is not, What?

384
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,700
I mean to me it's it's the worst
I've ever seen and I've been a

385
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:58,800
fan close to 2 over 25 years but
they still said well they're

386
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,600
going to run it and usually you
know what second down or early

387
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,400
in the game they are going to
run it they're not going to take

388
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,600
a shot this early they don't
ever do that and then all of a

389
00:24:06,608 --> 00:24:10,200
sudden route and that's what
you're saying.

390
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:15,200
Feels like we seen it game in
and game out that try to

391
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,200
establish the run early and it
doesn't work out well.

392
00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:23,900
And we start with the Quick Pass
and throwing the ball and doing

393
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:25,600
things like that.
Now, it doesn't help that you

394
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,300
playing from behind and it's
it's quicker to score his ways.

395
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:31,800
Yeah.
Rather than counting the outdoor

396
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,800
yard at a time, but you have to,
you have to focus on that run

397
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,800
early.
And I think Duke had the idea

398
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,200
that what we see from their
Scout take that if we can shut

399
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,800
down that run early, they're
going to make adjustments, to go

400
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,600
to something else.
And so, when they ran, that play

401
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,500
action right there.
Vancouver Tunes but the slow one

402
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,700
down name and they took that
shot and it was great.

403
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,100
And then after that do kind of
adjusted back and was like okay

404
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,600
well we know they know they will
go over its out, we've got to

405
00:25:01,608 --> 00:25:05,700
take control of that and maybe,
you know, one guy difference.

406
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:09,000
Maybe we can stop the run
without that one guy to get this

407
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,200
infection still Hill and and I
think that was a big thing.

408
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:20,700
All right, let me ask this, you
know, watching the tapes and

409
00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:25,700
everything as far as the wide
receiver tight in room goes, do

410
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:30,600
you see any issues with lack of
talent and does inexperience

411
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:36,800
show to you?
I think, I think the

412
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,300
inexperience shows in ways,
okay?

413
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:44,700
I think, I don't know that
there's a lot of talent.

414
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:47,800
I see some Talent there, I see
the way with some of those

415
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,900
receivers move, there's
definitely some Talent there,

416
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,100
but there's some of its being
taken away from those guys

417
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:03,200
because It's focused on being
now because there's nothing.

418
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:06,100
There's no one thing that a
defense have to sit down and go

419
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:11,600
we got to take away and it turns
out to be, okay, we don't know

420
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,400
who's you would think, if you
have any idea, if you don't have

421
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,800
any idea who it's going to go to
that, it would be easier to move

422
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,800
it around.
But the receivers don't know

423
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,300
what either?
And it's more of a big, it's

424
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:29,000
kind of a, not a, that's what
your dysfunction.

425
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:35,200
But I mean there's an issue
there, when you know, there's a

426
00:26:35,700 --> 00:26:39,100
tality behind those receivers.
Hey, I've got to be here.

427
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:41,500
I've got to make this point to
do this or what we're getting

428
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:46,800
and the hitting If you never
know when it's coming, whether

429
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,800
he's going to roll one way or
the other, you'll have to check

430
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,500
down things like that.
It's hard to get that Rhythm.

431
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:56,700
And that's a big thing.
People also assume that you're

432
00:26:56,700 --> 00:26:59,400
so I see what you're saying by
that, that you see the

433
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,200
inexperience but what you also
see is there's some guys that

434
00:27:04,208 --> 00:27:09,200
can do some stuff but because so
much is not going the right way.

435
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:14,300
Like if I told you, if you told
me this team was averaging four

436
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:18,000
and a half, Have a carry
everything would look completely

437
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000
different because it would be
like those teams are going to be

438
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,800
so much worried about to run
where you said you could just

439
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,000
because you could just stood and
Duke still.

440
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,900
I'm assuming they lay guys back
the rest of the game where they

441
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:35,300
weren't in the picture, but they
were still able to hold the

442
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:39,200
Hokies to a minuscule minuscule
amount of rush yards.

443
00:27:39,300 --> 00:27:42,000
Yeah.
But you knew they had what to

444
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,900
good linebackers.
Yeah.

445
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:49,500
You defensive interior lineman
that can shut down Run game.

446
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,600
And you know, you have to add an
extra guy to those guys.

447
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,100
You know, you trust it opens up
something somewhere else.

448
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:00,900
Once they knew that they could
handle it with those interior

449
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:05,100
guys, they could put the other
guys in position to help other

450
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:10,900
places and it makes it that much
harder and I was not sure but

451
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:15,100
I'm assuming to at the end
experience too because Like I

452
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:17,200
look through it the most
experienced, guys, Caleb Smith.

453
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,700
He's a six-year who was a
walk-on.

454
00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:23,600
He got his, he got his papers
three years ago, but lofton's a

455
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,800
second-year guy, right?
Who's who played it tight end as

456
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,500
a true freshman out there.
Making place that there's

457
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:37,000
probably things that I can't
see, you can't see but that

458
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,300
linebacker.
That corner knows exactly what

459
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:40,800
to do.
Say, if you know exactly what to

460
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,400
do, where someone that young of
the college level, it's a slow

461
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,300
building block to, knowing he's
doing this.

462
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:51,700
I'm going to counter with this
and it's not one second.

463
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,500
I can do this.
It's years.

464
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,800
It's two or three years versus
unless unless, unless they're

465
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,000
special, let's just special.
Yeah.

466
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:08,600
I think I think they got two
good upside with plenty of

467
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,300
talent in blue and gospel but
they're coming in from other

468
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:18,800
programs so it's not I mean if
you really look at it you got

469
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,900
kids that have been there for a
year or two or three freshmen.

470
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:25,100
You got these kids even though
they played years before

471
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:29,700
somewhere else, still coming
into this system and almost puts

472
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:31,800
them back to the same level of
learning everything.

473
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:37,600
And as your pressure, and I mean
that there wasn't a lot of time

474
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,600
before handed to you got to
spring with some of those guys

475
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,600
coming in.
And as you told me with with

476
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,200
blue, there's been some other
issues not, you know, some

477
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,100
personal issues and that way
that has cost them a little bit

478
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:54,400
of time as well.
And I mean, I completely

479
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,200
understand going through some of
that stuff myself, not in that

480
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:05,000
aspect, but yeah, you know, So,
it's focused back on those

481
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,500
things, 100, 100 percentage and
it stinks for him, because he

482
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:11,600
did show out three years ago
with temple.

483
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:14,700
And I think a lot of us expected
a lot of him, but considering

484
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,800
the circumstances, it's amazing
that kids play in this year.

485
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,700
It's amazing.
He's playing in them with

486
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:25,300
Gosnell and let me ask that
especially going and I didn't

487
00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:27,100
miss something.
I didn't throw on there but I'll

488
00:30:27,100 --> 00:30:31,000
ask you.
You introduced a new defensive

489
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:37,400
scheme last year at your school.
Now, this is, how long does it

490
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:42,400
take in this is at any level of
football, but luckily, you've

491
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,100
coached High School Robbie close
to 50 over 15 years now.

492
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:49,900
Like, I remember you started 06,
but you've also had players go

493
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:52,700
to the college level and play.
And I know you've had

494
00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:57,200
conversations When you had those
conversations with those two

495
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,400
guys who went to D1 programs,
did you have?

496
00:31:00,700 --> 00:31:02,600
What did they ever say to you
coach?

497
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,500
I don't know if I'm gonna be
able to get this because it's

498
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:10,200
that level Stephen and I think a
lot of us is me as a fan.

499
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,600
I'm blessed.
I got Siegel who played D3.

500
00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:16,600
I got you who've been coaching
for our.

501
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,000
I can I pick you all these
years.

502
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:22,500
So to me it's like when you say
it's like this ain't no

503
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:27,700
six-month fix because Talent
update in skiing all this.

504
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:31,700
But how long can you say you
really want results?

505
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:38,400
Check back here.
From my expect to things, we put

506
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:44,200
in a new defense this year.
It's not tremendous amounts of

507
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,000
different from what we ran last
year.

508
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:52,500
And just moving one guy around.
Really, we went from we went

509
00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:57,700
from pretty much a for 25 to 33,
so it's just moving one guy down

510
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:01,400
the step.
Just really all will change a

511
00:32:01,408 --> 00:32:06,300
lot of the same aspect.
The way I took in when I had the

512
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:09,900
young men who wanted with the NC
State, when they sit his first,

513
00:32:09,900 --> 00:32:13,300
when he got his first Playbook
there, he looked at me like how

514
00:32:13,300 --> 00:32:19,000
am I going to learn all those
since you guys simplified me?

515
00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:22,700
I was like, you look at that
thing and they've got 15

516
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:27,500
different calls for you to go
basically, two three different

517
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:30,700
spots.
That's all these.

518
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:35,200
Okay.
I mean you going to go see Gap.

519
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,000
Be?
Yeah.

520
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:36,900
Maybe eight.
Yeah.

521
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:44,300
So make it that simple in your
own mind and then you can feel

522
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:50,600
the pain that now for me for our
kids, I can start day one and I

523
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,200
can have these three things I
want to get done and if we get

524
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,400
those three things done in a
week, then I can move over there

525
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,900
before.
If we don't get those three

526
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:04,300
things done is that week, then I
continue to work on the next

527
00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:08,000
week.
But the difference in what I do

528
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,300
it compared to, to division one
college football.

529
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:15,100
I don't pick my guys.
Now, I love my guys.

530
00:33:15,100 --> 00:33:17,300
Don't get that wrong, but I
don't get to pick.

531
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:19,400
They come out and they choose
us.

532
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,700
They choose the complaint.
You know, what your scheme is?

533
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:24,900
You know what you're looking
for.

534
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:30,100
You got to find a place to fit
that, and you have to go by the

535
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:34,000
same concept that I do in.
If it's not here that we can't

536
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,600
add more to it.
But your leash is a little bit

537
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,800
tighter, you know that.
Oh yeah caller calling a little

538
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,200
bit tighter so you feel a little
bit more pressure that that

539
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:52,500
makes a big difference.
But I think I think all of them

540
00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:57,300
being in the these scheme and a
new team and different things

541
00:33:57,300 --> 00:33:59,300
like that.
And that doesn't that would

542
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:01,700
explain any of them.
None of them were on this thing

543
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:04,400
right here.
They were in Virginia Tech but

544
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,100
this is a different Anything and
everything from last year.

545
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:12,699
So, I mean, it takes a little
while to breathe and honestly to

546
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:16,000
be to do some of the things as
successful as they have,

547
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:19,400
especially this week.
I think it's a great thing that

548
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,400
they work towards that and
offense will catch up.

549
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,199
Offense is a little offensive, a
little more.

550
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:30,500
Technically you have to do these
paintings defense, you react got

551
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:33,800
it, when it's right go to
quickly react.

552
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:36,600
Well, let's let's let's take.
Continues on the offensive side

553
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,100
of the ball and talk about the
position you coached it goes up

554
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:43,400
against every time and let's
talk about the running back, the

555
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,000
offensive line, the Run game
concept.

556
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:48,199
When you look at the struggles
of the offensive line this year,

557
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:52,600
especially in the Run game, the
past Pro game has been, it's

558
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:53,800
okay at times.
Good.

559
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,900
Sometimes bad with the Run game
has not been good.

560
00:34:56,900 --> 00:35:00,000
What are you seeing?
Especially you saw the Duke

561
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,400
with.
You was really ugly.

562
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,500
My personal opinion, the way, I
see it.

563
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,600
And I see these offers
environment, they do good

564
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,200
things, don't get me wrong.
Several of them, have good, some

565
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,500
decent footwork.
Some hand placement stuff is

566
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:21,300
good.
They're not quitting, which is a

567
00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:25,400
great thing in situations like
this.

568
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,800
That's what you really have to
look at.

569
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,700
When you really think about,
okay?

570
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,500
You think about the coaches that
are on that staff and a type of

571
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:36,700
offense, you know, that they're
looking to run.

572
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,000
It's really hard for me to see
most of these offensive linemen

573
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:47,900
fit you into that program.
A couple of the younger ones may

574
00:35:47,900 --> 00:35:51,400
fit the mold and look a little a
little more into it.

575
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,800
But some of these older guys,
you can really tell that there

576
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:04,000
There is zone-based blocking
scheme kids and they were

577
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,000
recruited in zone-based blocking
kids, which means they probably

578
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,400
been playing in zone-based
Rocking skis for years.

579
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:19,000
And what we do is pouches for
some muscle memory and it's hard

580
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,100
to break it when it's been put
in so long and to put them in

581
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:25,900
something of a power scheme and
the things that they're trying

582
00:36:25,900 --> 00:36:29,600
to do now it's very difficult to
change some of those things up.

583
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:33,200
So is that.
So so that's affected are more

584
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,700
than anything upfront.
Which in fact, any and affects

585
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:42,300
the running backs because
walking is not bad And maybe the

586
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:43,800
boss.
Maybe the running backs are a

587
00:36:43,808 --> 00:36:47,700
little more, you know,
zone-based, right stuff trying

588
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:51,500
to find these when it's really
not going to open in flow the

589
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:54,700
same way that it used to be.
All right, it's definitely your

590
00:36:54,707 --> 00:36:57,000
broom transition.
So you kind of answer my

591
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,900
question.
I was last next about how much

592
00:36:58,900 --> 00:37:02,600
is it affecting Personnel.
But I mean you know the name Joe

593
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,400
Rudolph.
You know how long he's had a

594
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:07,100
house and you seen players, I
mean heck you might have ran

595
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:09,500
into him at some of the
conference's you went to in the

596
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:13,700
past but if I mean what can be
done as a coach though because

597
00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:22,000
you walk in and you see Like,
two guys are really three guys

598
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,300
are really good for my scheme.
One is green, he ain't will ever

599
00:37:25,300 --> 00:37:28,500
see the field one.
Can see the field a little bit.

600
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:30,700
One's Gonna Be on the field all
the time, but what can you do

601
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:35,800
behind closed doors?
Because my assumption is, I

602
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,500
can't change what I teach
because these older guys are

603
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:44,400
going to be gone in likely a
year, but it wouldn't, you can

604
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,400
you?
Because you what you're saying

605
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,600
to me is it's muscle memory and
that's how we teach it.

606
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,200
But rip it.
Rip it, rip it.

607
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,000
Rip it.
You only get so much time in the

608
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000
spring.
You only have so much time in

609
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,000
the fall and then you're playing
football games.

610
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,200
Like what can eat?
What do you think he's doing?

611
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,200
Is it just the same old, same
old or is he?

612
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,500
You have two options when it
really comes down to it, my

613
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:09,600
mind, you have two options, you
adjust your scheme, a little bit

614
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,800
fit, what you have.
Or you look at your personnel

615
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:16,600
and go.
These guys are going to be

616
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,200
around long enough that they
have to learn this.

617
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,400
They weren't going to continue
to use any college football.

618
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,200
I think he's more into his
school and they're going to,

619
00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:30,600
they're going to try to get
these kids to understand that

620
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,400
you learned that ski.
So he's going to continue to

621
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,000
pack.
Okay.

622
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:39,400
There's just like an old saying
you talk about pounding the

623
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,700
rock.
Yeah okay he hit it.

624
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,000
In the same spot is what he's
doing.

625
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,200
He's teaching his skiing and
teaching his feet.

626
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:51,000
He's, he's talking to them about
their effort, continuing to make

627
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,800
the noodle days, little
progress, okay?

628
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,700
And eventually that rocks, go
squid, keeping it in the same

629
00:38:57,700 --> 00:39:00,100
product or you to go the route
of.

630
00:39:00,100 --> 00:39:04,100
Well, this is what I got.
I've got a five pound hammer and

631
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:09,400
a chisel so I could try to make
cracks in different ways and see

632
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,700
if I can break it that way.
But when you get the new guys

633
00:39:12,700 --> 00:39:14,800
either you really want to focus
on your ski.

634
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,800
Did you improve the guys that
are going to be around for a

635
00:39:17,808 --> 00:39:22,400
year or so, It's one of those
double-edged swords.

636
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,600
You can keep forcing it in these
kids go.

637
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:28,200
Well, I don't see myself doing
that and then they hit the

638
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,800
portal in their out.
Got it.

639
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,600
You don't want to alienate those
kids but you won't get continue

640
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,500
to work with them when they're
that.

641
00:39:38,500 --> 00:39:40,900
You have to love the ones that I
got.

642
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:43,800
And I got you.
All right.

643
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,400
Next thing, let me ask this just
from a coaching perspective.

644
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:51,000
Um obviously you know Malachi
Thomas was out got hurt in Camp

645
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,300
came back significantly late in
the season, the primary spell

646
00:39:55,300 --> 00:39:57,500
gotten the guy who stepped up in
his role Keeshond in probably

647
00:39:57,500 --> 00:40:00,200
the most explosive running back
is now banged up.

648
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:05,600
How does that affect think?
I'm going to go Malik at the

649
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:11,100
beginning of the season.
And then losing king or King to

650
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:12,900
come in your primary.
How does that affect your

651
00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:16,200
playbook in your play calls?
Because you saw Malachi Thomas

652
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,200
running.
Some of that tape.

653
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:22,400
We're like okay, wow, he's good.
And then it's like, well you

654
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,500
don't get to have him for six
and a half games.

655
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:28,600
The smaller Blazer guy, he's
going to have to be your

656
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,100
primary.
Like how does that change?

657
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:33,000
And how does that how does it
affect mentality of an offense

658
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,000
to when, you know, you know?
Hey, we're not playing with

659
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,400
these guys, absolutely right?
Mama's Little Things Can, you

660
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,700
know, you can have a point one
particular point, you know you

661
00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:48,200
want to be really good at you
know, you want to do with, okay?

662
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,400
There's 11 people out there that
have to work together to make

663
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,200
that play work.
Where you take one back and it's

664
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,600
been ruined this way and
everybody gets used to that, it

665
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,200
goes back to that muscle memory.
Then suddenly that particular

666
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,200
players, my bad, the next guy
that comes in to run it as a

667
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:11,300
step bastard.
So he's a yarn ahead of this,

668
00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:13,500
put, you know, he's a half of
your head of his puller.

669
00:41:15,100 --> 00:41:17,700
If he's a step slower, he's a
half of urine behind this pole.

670
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:21,400
So to pull the hits where the
last the first guy might have

671
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,800
hit right behind me puller.
Now all of a sudden they pull

672
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:29,500
her hits and a Defender has time
to recover and squeeze back and

673
00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:32,100
people don't think about those
little things like that.

674
00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:35,200
But the difference in the speed,
the difference in the patient's,

675
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,900
the difference in the pad level
from running back to running

676
00:41:39,900 --> 00:41:41,500
back to change a lot of those
things.

677
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,200
Okay?
And I'm going to hit the big

678
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,800
deal.
So I think that's what a lot of

679
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,300
things.
Okay, well, I've never heard.

680
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:52,500
I mean, Brian, like I said it,
but I've never heard someone say

681
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:56,200
something like that.
Basically, this guy, it takes

682
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,700
four steps to get there.
This guy is 3, but if the block

683
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:06,000
isn't there well, everything
changes and with Thomas he got

684
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,000
banged up the end of spring but
he was there for most of spring,

685
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,500
he was there for most of all and
I think it was about two weeks

686
00:42:11,500 --> 00:42:14,000
is what they're seeing before it
happened two weeks before your

687
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,900
first game.
Mmmmm, he's out and I know that

688
00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:19,400
you start the game installation
but if that's all you've been

689
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,900
practicing with, I get what
you're saying.

690
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,900
Let's flip over to defense
because you mentioned it a few

691
00:42:24,900 --> 00:42:26,600
minutes ago, when you're 100%
right?

692
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:31,700
The defense has taken strides
this year, 59th and scoring 58th

693
00:42:31,700 --> 00:42:34,000
and total.
Now where they really struggle,

694
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,500
this Force turnovers 129, and
only in only sacks where they're

695
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:41,600
leading up to 80th in the
country.

696
00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:44,200
And I want to look at the D
line, you know?

697
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,500
The leading for on the interior
have only accounted for two and

698
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:50,200
a half sacks this year.
What do you see?

699
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,800
They do well?
And what do you think needs to

700
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:59,800
change for those guys?
I don't know how it was this big

701
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,800
show, but it looks like they
play well on your own up front.

702
00:43:05,700 --> 00:43:08,200
They can they can they can hold
ground.

703
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,200
Several of them take on double
T's fairly well, they hold

704
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,000
ground.
They don't get blown way out of

705
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:19,200
things.
Now, they try to make a push for

706
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,000
pass eruption.
And things like that.

707
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,900
You got one or two, that look
like they make some pretty quick

708
00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:29,900
steps here and there, but
there's not a lot of heavy

709
00:43:29,900 --> 00:43:37,100
penetration, not a lot of hard
rushing to get, you know, to

710
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:39,100
make things in the offensive
Back Field.

711
00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:43,400
Change course, rush to get balls
out.

712
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,500
Things like that.
And I think that's big upfront

713
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,600
and by no means of that.
Is that not a pretty cat?

714
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,400
Talented group, Icy Tower
middle, they just don't have the

715
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:03,600
elite level high-end level, you
know, penetration Rush type

716
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,700
thing.
They don't have this speed there

717
00:44:05,900 --> 00:44:08,600
it's it would pressure on the
backfield so what you're saying

718
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:13,300
is they're missing if that group
had one Elite guy, just want to

719
00:44:13,300 --> 00:44:16,200
leave guy.
He would make that group I would

720
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,000
make them good to potentially
Elite.

721
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,900
Yeah, because you because what
you're because what I'm hearing

722
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:23,900
is they do good.
They do things.

723
00:44:23,900 --> 00:44:27,400
Well, I'm assuming when you talk
about like holding the runs and

724
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,100
stuff, they play with leverage,
they play in their gaps, they're

725
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:34,500
not getting out of control which
is sine of JC price doing good

726
00:44:34,500 --> 00:44:36,400
things?
Absolutely.

727
00:44:36,900 --> 00:44:41,200
Okay, let's let's look at the
edge real quick in, you know,

728
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,500
garbage definitely the best Edge
Defender.

729
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:46,500
They've got he and After going
after this year.

730
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,600
Now, you've got Nelson in McRae,
who were two younger, guys, have

731
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:57,800
played a ton in 2023, a ton.
How's that going to help them?

732
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,800
But if it's two guys that, I
mean, don't get me wrong.

733
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,000
They're both their babies.
McRae came in, from our sure,

734
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,400
he's a freshman Nelson's of.
They're both red shirt, freshman

735
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,300
they're getting incredibly
valuable.

736
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:17,300
Experience at this point when
it's in is something that you're

737
00:45:17,300 --> 00:45:19,800
not going to get from a brand
new recruit.

738
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:26,300
I mean, we're, we can, they
could recruit 54 star defensive

739
00:45:26,300 --> 00:45:28,800
lineman, but they're not going
to be able to match that

740
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,800
experience of these kids are
getting right now.

741
00:45:32,100 --> 00:45:39,000
And that to me, that's a big
thing because there there is a

742
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,000
difference and what these four
and five-star recruits were

743
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,400
seeing an offensive line and
high school where one out of the

744
00:45:46,408 --> 00:45:51,500
five might be pretty good to
where they're going to college.

745
00:45:51,500 --> 00:45:54,300
And now, all of a sudden, I'm
getting double team by two of

746
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:56,000
the best lineman I've ever seen
in my life.

747
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Everybody against OB you.
You know what I'm saying?

748
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,600
Yeah, I mean we're not talking
about Alabama Clemson.

749
00:46:05,900 --> 00:46:08,200
You do these big teams that you
could run into.

750
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,200
We're talking about the game
during the schedule when people

751
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,600
look at and go you should
dominate them.

752
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,200
To Lyman and we'll come back to
this probably will be better

753
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,600
than any two you've ever seen in
high school.

754
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:26,700
So that experience makes a world
of difference, but adding

755
00:46:26,700 --> 00:46:35,300
something to that adding that
ability to speed rush to get a

756
00:46:35,300 --> 00:46:40,100
guy that comes down the line
flat and forces you to make that

757
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:46,100
zone, read hand off quicker,
things like that changes.

758
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:48,900
The entire complexity of what
you're going to see up front.

759
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:52,300
If you got the time to take
three steps Mometasone read

760
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:56,300
before you pull it or hand it,
then it makes it even easier

761
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,200
than that decision is going to
be correct.

762
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,500
Or that could get decision will
be more effective.

763
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,900
If you got somebody screaming
off that edge, that tackle.

764
00:47:04,900 --> 00:47:07,500
Can't block.
Now I can take, but a step and a

765
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:10,300
half, and I've got to make that
decision now, and it better be

766
00:47:10,300 --> 00:47:14,600
the right.
I got you a face make, most

767
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,400
people only think of that of
that rush in the pass game.

768
00:47:19,300 --> 00:47:21,100
But in the Run game, it's just
as effective.

769
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:26,900
But let me ask this, you know,
the scheme pretty well, you know

770
00:47:26,900 --> 00:47:31,900
the scheme pretty well.
McRae, Nelson getting their

771
00:47:31,900 --> 00:47:33,900
reps.
If the pain kid who came from

772
00:47:33,900 --> 00:47:39,300
Nebraska's allowed a extra
season, if you are defensive in

773
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,400
at one of those bigger schools
and you are stuck behind a James

774
00:47:43,900 --> 00:47:46,600
you know you're stuck behind and
Will Anderson you're stuck

775
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,900
behind some of the guys and even
some of the smaller schools.

776
00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:53,200
Does this scheme defensive end
wise?

777
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,500
If Brent pry and JC pricing
crif, more of called you, and it

778
00:47:58,508 --> 00:48:01,100
was one of your former students
and said, I really think he

779
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:07,300
could come here, do you think it
lends itself to getting someone

780
00:48:07,300 --> 00:48:12,700
out of the portal to play that
position next year for

781
00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:17,500
potentially a game changer cry?
I think you, I think you could,

782
00:48:18,100 --> 00:48:20,600
because I think you're going to
have a better chance of finding

783
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:26,600
somebody that's going to make.
An immediate impact there.

784
00:48:27,700 --> 00:48:30,800
Then you will trying to bring
somebody in immediately.

785
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,800
Now, don't get me wrong.
I'm all for developing the young

786
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:38,300
guys and up until recently.
I've not been paying whatsoever

787
00:48:38,300 --> 00:48:43,900
before, but it's one of those
things it's not going away.

788
00:48:43,900 --> 00:48:46,600
So we got to learn how to got to
learn how to use it.

789
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:51,600
And if it's going to benefit
you, then you've it.

790
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,100
Now, I'm not saying go out there
and find that the kids as you

791
00:48:56,100 --> 00:48:59,800
know, he's in his fifth year, he
redshirted once he's got one

792
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,600
year, but to give us nine sacks
this year.

793
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,700
You could be losing development
on somebody else with that.

794
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:11,100
If there's a kid that's got
three years left and you think

795
00:49:11,100 --> 00:49:16,600
he can really be affected that.
Absolutely, I think it's a great

796
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,800
thing to look at but they
definitely need to go on that

797
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,600
defensive front.
Putting some pressure in that

798
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,900
backfield and making things
happen quicker than what's

799
00:49:25,900 --> 00:49:30,300
happening and it will change the
entire complexity of those of

800
00:49:30,300 --> 00:49:33,600
those things.
Also, let's flip now Now to a

801
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,300
room that you had huge
expectations for, that's a

802
00:49:37,308 --> 00:49:40,200
linebacker room.
Are they meeting your

803
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,800
expectations for this year?
Meeting them?

804
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:52,000
Some of them are exceeding them.
There's guys, like we said, when

805
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:56,300
we talked about this months ago
in that preview, you know, we

806
00:49:56,300 --> 00:49:59,400
had guys that I thought were
shoe into certain places and

807
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,100
things, and I've seen several of
them move around and play

808
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:06,700
multiple different one.
Several these guys at 40

809
00:50:06,700 --> 00:50:10,400
positions that I didn't think I
didn't think they would put them

810
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,700
in and have done pretty well
with what they've been asked to

811
00:50:13,700 --> 00:50:17,600
do.
I think hollifield has

812
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:23,400
drastically improved, what is
shown even more of what he can

813
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,400
do?
Maybe at the next level?

814
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,800
That's going to open these up
more for you.

815
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,100
We know, he can faculty.
I mean what's he got 5,000

816
00:50:32,100 --> 00:50:34,300
gallons in there?
Seven years he's been in

817
00:50:34,300 --> 00:50:42,200
Blacksburg, so I'm like that but
I think we we see him receiving

818
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,700
coverage more.
Now I feel like then we saw him

819
00:50:44,700 --> 00:50:53,100
before and he's pretty good.
He's running harder to the edge

820
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,800
showing some ability.
Not trust me.

821
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,600
I saw some of that when he was
in high school he's a good

822
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,100
friend of mine had to play
against them and and state

823
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:07,400
championship game at one point
and that kid was they breast and

824
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,900
I was excited that he was going
to buy spread but I mean, you've

825
00:51:10,900 --> 00:51:15,500
got other guys back there and
you've got I'm getting with

826
00:51:15,500 --> 00:51:19,300
these ladies, the artist.
Get artist, who's the backup,

827
00:51:19,300 --> 00:51:22,900
Mike.
He's done some good paint

828
00:51:22,900 --> 00:51:27,000
good-looking things when he's
out there and I think there's

829
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,100
some young guys that have been
in and out at different places.

830
00:51:31,300 --> 00:51:35,500
I think the linebacker group has
done well and I think part of

831
00:51:35,500 --> 00:51:39,200
what they've done, well is
because they know up front, that

832
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:43,500
they can hold things against the
Run game and allow them to play

833
00:51:43,500 --> 00:51:47,800
free.
There's times where I think we

834
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,800
could use the linebackers a
little more.

835
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:56,200
Good to rush that back to you
and make those points but that

836
00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:01,000
they they focused on using them
the way that they have no

837
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,900
feeling whole scraping over
those kind of Concepts, and it

838
00:52:04,900 --> 00:52:08,300
may just be a part of the way
they're trying to progress their

839
00:52:08,300 --> 00:52:12,100
defense and teach it is get
those basics in first.

840
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,000
Then we can get a little more
exotic.

841
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:19,600
We bringing things because we
saw prop do some, some different

842
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:24,200
Blitz looks and is it can state
with a lot of linebackers

843
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:30,300
Michael Parsons and in, but that
doesn't have that kind of guide

844
00:52:30,300 --> 00:52:35,000
you And so I think he's they're
focusing very much on working.

845
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,200
The good fundamental Basics and
it's really shown at linebacker.

846
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,900
Okay, toes and then makes a lot
of sense this year, especially

847
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,800
you got dachshund Tisdale right
there.

848
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:53,600
The old guys Tisdale was out for
a well, Tuesday.

849
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,600
I was doing well.
You heard what happened, right?

850
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:58,600
You had heard the story.
Yeah, which is the stupidest

851
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,300
thing turns himself in, let's
give you five games up.

852
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,000
Okay, well, yeah, he might come
back.

853
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,500
Maybe he leaves.
Maybe he doesn't because he does

854
00:53:08,500 --> 00:53:11,500
have a year of covid
Eligibility, but I'm wondering

855
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:14,200
what you're saying is, is what
happened this year?

856
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,700
I think artists has eligibility
still doing, Ferguson has Ellen.

857
00:53:17,700 --> 00:53:22,400
There's a lot of guys who Jaden
Keller, who are young and in

858
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,300
those positions in is what your
feel like what you're saying is

859
00:53:26,300 --> 00:53:29,400
he's not going crazy.
Is he sending them sometimes on

860
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:30,400
a blush?
Yes.

861
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,000
But it's like I'm If I drill the
fundamentals, I don't need to

862
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,600
worry about that next year.
That'll be ingrained then I can

863
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,900
take the next step.
Now let me ask this feels like

864
00:53:40,900 --> 00:53:44,400
that group.
Fundamentally is going to get

865
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,700
better every week and a lot of
them have the potential to still

866
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:49,300
be there next year.
Yep.

867
00:53:49,500 --> 00:53:51,300
Oliver really don't know what
he's gonna get.

868
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,000
He's the only one gone.
He's the only one going.

869
00:53:54,300 --> 00:53:59,500
Now let me ask those the the
saying the, the Sam linebacker

870
00:53:59,500 --> 00:54:05,100
group and we've seen Lawson
Jenkins and Walker.

871
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,300
They've all done.
Really good things down there.

872
00:54:08,700 --> 00:54:11,900
Yes.
How to now just you as a coach

873
00:54:11,900 --> 00:54:14,500
when you see they're doing
really good on this outside.

874
00:54:14,500 --> 00:54:19,000
Linebacker spot.
Do you want to say and your the

875
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,600
DC?
But I know you've got to talk to

876
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,900
Dave where it's like listen they
all three play.

877
00:54:22,900 --> 00:54:24,600
Good that can I fool somebody to
backer?

878
00:54:24,900 --> 00:54:30,600
Can I pull some to them?
How tough is that?

879
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:36,400
And do you think At least one of
those guys next year, if not

880
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,200
competing will be a death piece
at another linebacker spot in

881
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:44,600
the way from the same position.
I think what you're seeing now

882
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,000
is just being three, very good
players that that position in

883
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,100
the future.
And if they turn out to be

884
00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:54,000
three, very good football
players.

885
00:54:55,700 --> 00:54:58,300
That are very good above several
others.

886
00:54:58,900 --> 00:55:01,700
Then you find a way to put all
three of those on the field at

887
00:55:01,700 --> 00:55:06,900
the same time.
If two of them turned out to be

888
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:09,900
really good football players in
that position, maybe you have a

889
00:55:09,900 --> 00:55:13,900
good rotation of that position.
There's all kinds of different

890
00:55:13,900 --> 00:55:16,700
ways.
We always look at things is we

891
00:55:16,700 --> 00:55:18,600
want the best 11 men on the
feet.

892
00:55:19,900 --> 00:55:23,900
And if that means I've got three
of them at one position and

893
00:55:23,900 --> 00:55:26,400
there I put those three on the
field.

894
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,500
It's better than other two.
That I have, then I find a way

895
00:55:29,500 --> 00:55:31,600
to get into that position in the
assembly.

896
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,400
Help.
Got it, got it, got it.

897
00:55:35,700 --> 00:55:46,300
Let's put the same body.
Let me flip the safety.

898
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,000
When you start checking out the
tape on this is this room

899
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,300
playing like and I know there's
some experience there but

900
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:55,400
there's some young guys there.
But is that room playing?

901
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,200
Like it's the first time.
A guys ever coached in Khalid

902
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:07,700
college football in Pearson
Prelude, I think in some ways a

903
00:56:07,707 --> 00:56:11,600
little bit okay they're being
very cautious with some things,

904
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,400
they're allowing him, I hate to
learn along with those safeties.

905
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,600
Okay?
It's undoubtedly.

906
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:24,000
The DVD section of that defense
in the youngest group of all

907
00:56:24,900 --> 00:56:29,200
correct.
Safety.

908
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,200
No Corner.
Yes, definitely.

909
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,000
The one of the corners.
Yes.

910
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,900
For Sure, we'll talk about him
in a moment.

911
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,400
Like you said, you have a, you
have a first-year coach at that

912
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:43,100
level.
Now he played a lot of years and

913
00:56:43,100 --> 00:56:48,400
he was considered a times.
I considered him to be a, kind

914
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,800
of a coach on the field working
with what Pro players anyway,

915
00:56:53,100 --> 00:56:56,900
but he's learning.
He's burning powder, turns right

916
00:56:56,900 --> 00:57:00,400
along with them, learning how to
beat those to that position.

917
00:57:01,500 --> 00:57:06,100
And I think there is a bond and
chemistry that's coming with

918
00:57:06,100 --> 00:57:09,900
that and you can see progression
from the beginning of the

919
00:57:09,900 --> 00:57:12,000
season.
The map there are still some

920
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,400
things that probably need to be
cleaned up and worked on but

921
00:57:15,500 --> 00:57:18,200
there's plenty to be cleaned up
and work going from top to

922
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,000
bottom.
Both sides are football.

923
00:57:20,500 --> 00:57:24,900
Absolutely absolutely it's just
a progression that we're seeing

924
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:31,100
both of them at the same rate as
making it.

925
00:57:31,700 --> 00:57:33,500
A lot.
Yep.

926
00:57:33,500 --> 00:57:35,700
In Fort Pierce.
The next year, only one guy's

927
00:57:35,700 --> 00:57:37,600
not coming back.
That probably is that's

928
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,300
tomorrow, Connor who it probably
is, you know, his that guy, his

929
00:57:40,300 --> 00:57:46,000
best safety, but I get to your
point likely next year when he

930
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,400
speaks because he went through
this year with all those guys.

931
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:51,600
They're gonna listen.
They're going to do what he says

932
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,100
which is awesome.
All right, now he's running,

933
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,700
he's running defensive stuff
from coach Frey.

934
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:02,200
He's learning his defense of
stuff for from more.

935
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:08,100
Yeah, he's burning stuff from.
I guarantee you coach, Jose is

936
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:11,800
helping them with some things
and how to coach, I mean, that's

937
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,000
a process in itself is learning
how to coach me down?

938
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,700
Because one of the biggest
things, and we tell our coaches,

939
00:58:19,300 --> 00:58:22,600
which coach with Becky.
And I do a lot of coaching of

940
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,200
our coaches, because some of our
coaches were young and

941
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,200
experienced, come over older and
Since they're just willing to

942
00:58:29,207 --> 00:58:34,000
help but we have to coach them
on how to coach, you know, they

943
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,100
may have clean anything.
We tell guys all the time,

944
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,500
especially some of our former
players going to get into

945
00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:44,100
coaching.
Listen these guys that you're

946
00:58:44,100 --> 00:58:46,600
coaching may not be as good as
you.

947
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,100
So you have to teach them, the
fundamentals.

948
00:58:51,100 --> 00:58:55,200
Participates, no one helped,
most of them every play.

949
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,700
I've hated so far and probably
be better than what I was.

950
00:58:58,900 --> 00:59:00,600
Because I was not a very good
point.

951
00:59:01,300 --> 00:59:03,400
There's not a lot of athletic
ability here.

952
00:59:04,100 --> 00:59:06,700
There was a lot of intellectual
ability for the game.

953
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,500
I'm not a lot of athletic
ability.

954
00:59:10,300 --> 00:59:15,800
And I have to learn how to teach
those guys, the pieces that I

955
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:20,300
know, well and related to what
they do well and I think he's

956
00:59:20,300 --> 00:59:23,600
learning how to do that.
And it does, the more coach

957
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,900
Prelude, learns, how to do that.
The more he'll be able to relay

958
00:59:27,100 --> 00:59:29,200
and the quicker, you'll be able
to see that progression.

959
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:30,900
Take place.
Got it.

960
00:59:31,100 --> 00:59:33,500
Let's talk about Derrick Jones
room here.

961
00:59:33,700 --> 00:59:38,000
And let me talk the cheetah, the
cheetah, the cheetah, someone

962
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:41,500
you've had some run-ins with
when he coach down at Duke and

963
00:59:41,500 --> 00:59:44,400
he, I think he had your
territory, but from a defensive

964
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:48,100
coordinator standpoint first,
when you lose a number one

965
00:59:48,100 --> 00:59:52,000
corner, like Dorian strong and
Dorian strong is a well rounded

966
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,400
corner.
Is he extra athletic?

967
00:59:54,700 --> 00:59:58,100
He's got some athleticism.
Is he graded out?

968
00:59:58,100 --> 01:00:00,900
But it's like there is no one
weak point in door in Strong's

969
01:00:00,900 --> 01:00:04,200
game.
When a guy like that goes down,

970
01:00:04,900 --> 01:00:07,000
and you're sitting there Robbie,
and you're getting those game

971
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,600
plans together.
How much does that hinder?

972
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,000
What it is?
Of coordinator, can call. hey,

973
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:17,000
it's big when you when you got a
guy you know you can count on

974
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:23,800
and you know I don't have to
worry about I can take me down

975
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:28,500
away from the office with this
and I don't have to think about

976
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:33,000
that again.
So now I don't have that piece

977
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,000
and now that's another thing
that I got to take from the

978
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,600
offense and figure out how to
take it away.

979
01:00:38,700 --> 01:00:44,500
Now I have been very impressed
with watching the young man that

980
01:00:44,500 --> 01:00:48,200
they brought in for him and
Monsour delayed.

981
01:00:48,500 --> 01:00:54,200
Oh, you ain't Delaney.
Delaney He has been pressure.

982
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:00,200
But there were some, there was
the moment, especially the Duke

983
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,800
game.
He still shows that he is a true

984
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:07,200
freshman, he's like 90 years
old, he gets, he Gap.

985
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,500
There.
There's, there's definitely

986
01:01:10,500 --> 01:01:12,100
things that come into that
progression.

987
01:01:12,100 --> 01:01:16,800
I was just talking about, but
the patients and the things like

988
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:21,300
that because in high school, you
could be the best player on the

989
01:01:21,300 --> 01:01:24,000
field and you can make a mistake
and make up for it real quickly.

990
01:01:24,900 --> 01:01:30,500
Because the Prosper, music was
not the Four Star Property when

991
01:01:30,500 --> 01:01:33,100
you get to this college level
everybody across from you.

992
01:01:33,100 --> 01:01:34,200
The best gal.
Dirty.

993
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:41,000
So, even those little mistakes
look, big herbs and I mean he's

994
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,200
going to get better with those
things in here, but he's shown

995
01:01:45,100 --> 01:01:49,200
enough fundamental things for
me, as a true freshman that

996
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:54,200
they've got somebody in the next
year or so that they're going to

997
01:01:54,207 --> 01:01:56,900
be upset.
He's on that.

998
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,600
We don't have to worry about
that for the love it.

999
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,600
Love it.
Love it.

1000
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:07,500
You mentioned it a few minutes
ago and I'm going to just kind

1001
01:02:07,500 --> 01:02:11,000
of get your take on the portal
and you gave me your take.

1002
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:17,500
Just this is just your guess,
this is just what you seen and

1003
01:02:17,500 --> 01:02:20,300
you know, I know you don't know
the roster as good as Brian and

1004
01:02:20,300 --> 01:02:23,800
I do because you've got your own
roster, you've got two minutes,

1005
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:25,900
I'm like yeah and it's not
fantasy.

1006
01:02:25,900 --> 01:02:32,400
It's all right.
But just looking at what you saw

1007
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:36,700
on the field, knowing it's a lot
of young players coming through

1008
01:02:36,700 --> 01:02:41,000
that kind of impressed.
You the most yeah how many how

1009
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:42,900
many how many Guys in the
portal.

1010
01:02:42,900 --> 01:02:51,100
Do you think Tech should take?
Not will take but should It's

1011
01:02:51,100 --> 01:02:55,600
going to sound very neat but I
think you take as many as you

1012
01:02:55,600 --> 01:03:02,300
need to to improve in areas that
you have to and I know that

1013
01:03:02,300 --> 01:03:06,100
sounds very cliche very.
Let's go speaking.

1014
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,800
Yes, unless somebody's visited
North world's tomorrow, that's

1015
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:11,900
why he's saying that tonight
Yahoo's visit sometimes.

1016
01:03:11,900 --> 01:03:14,800
Visit you are more than welcome
come.

1017
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,600
See us it's gonna be cold.
Bring a coat.

1018
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:27,500
If there's five pieces there
that there are people in their

1019
01:03:27,500 --> 01:03:32,600
portal, that feel five needs and
can get on that field in the

1020
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:36,300
spring and next fall and play
and make a difference.

1021
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:42,200
Then you take five if there's
eight, there is three of them

1022
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:47,100
can make a difference
immediately and then five, Could

1023
01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:50,500
possibly feel some death row for
us.

1024
01:03:50,900 --> 01:03:53,400
Maybe you take six.
It's good.

1025
01:03:53,400 --> 01:04:00,200
Eh it's I really feel like and
we were talking about it before

1026
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:04,000
we went on about the recruits
and the class and the things

1027
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:08,400
like that if they feel very
strongly about the recruiting

1028
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,700
class and the guys going to
bring it in focus on those guys.

1029
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,900
But if you still feel like you
have a hole there, use that for

1030
01:04:17,900 --> 01:04:21,400
again, like I said, I wasn't a
huge fan of it to begin with,

1031
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,100
but it's not going anywhere.
So we might as well we're not.

1032
01:04:25,100 --> 01:04:27,500
It will jump in and take what we
came.

1033
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,900
And I mean, if it makes it any
better, it makes the team medic.

1034
01:04:33,700 --> 01:04:35,200
Awesome.
Alright.

1035
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:40,500
Okay.
For about 45, 15.

1036
01:05:03,700 --> 01:05:07,400

Now back to the episode All
right, and we are back and now

1047
01:05:39,300 --> 01:05:41,400
it's time for Know The Enemy
Liberty.

1048
01:05:41,700 --> 01:05:44,600
Let's start on the offensive
side of the ball Robbie and

1049
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:48,200
let's start with Jonathan
Bennett the quarterback.

1050
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,100
He was a three-star composite
when he came out of Somerville

1051
01:05:51,100 --> 01:05:53,100
High School in Summerville South
Carolina.

1052
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:59,200
Primarily mostly G5 offers from
him kind of took over the role.

1053
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,100
When Charlie Brewer went down
early in the season and he's

1054
01:06:02,100 --> 01:06:06,600
excelled thus far this year, you
know, over 1,300 yards, you

1055
01:06:06,607 --> 01:06:11,900
know, 12 touchdowns to nine
interceptions, 154 yards,

1056
01:06:11,900 --> 01:06:16,300
rushing, what are you seeing?
When you looked at his tape?

1057
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:24,400
For this game.
He's he is a, he's very

1058
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,200
noticeable.
I would say the quarterback

1059
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:32,900
position and and seeing would
coach breathe and Liberty has

1060
01:06:32,900 --> 01:06:38,100
done in many other areas.
He a lot of things run through

1061
01:06:38,100 --> 01:06:41,900
that quarterback and especially
what he done in Liberty with

1062
01:06:41,900 --> 01:06:46,000
Malik Willis last year and who's
I think with the Titans mail,

1063
01:06:46,300 --> 01:06:48,600
which I know, Jason was more
than excited.

1064
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,200
They were talking about the
Titans right here.

1065
01:06:53,900 --> 01:06:57,500
The big thing was he had an
uncommon amount of experience

1066
01:06:57,500 --> 01:07:03,800
playing behind Willis last year
in filling, in some games and

1067
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:05,700
playing some with some of the
research and stuff.

1068
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:09,300
I did looking at it, he played
in nine different games last

1069
01:07:09,300 --> 01:07:17,300
year behind the week Willis.
So those are big things and he's

1070
01:07:17,300 --> 01:07:22,200
got, he's got a very wild arm
moves around very well in the

1071
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,600
pocket.
He can make things happen with

1072
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:29,600
it, with his feet, with his,
with his throwing ability, that

1073
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:35,700
there was a one-point on them.
There was one point in the game

1074
01:07:35,700 --> 01:07:40,600
against UConn, he's running
towards the sidelines from

1075
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,800
pressure.
He sees the guy in front of him,

1076
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,900
he just flips it over in front
of it and they gained 67 yards

1077
01:07:47,300 --> 01:07:49,400
out of what he was, just trying
to get the sidelines and not

1078
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:53,700
lose anything.
I mean now as a quarterback

1079
01:07:53,700 --> 01:07:56,700
sometimes that can be a little
advice.

1080
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:00,600
Not everybody can do with
Patrick Holmes, doesn't switch

1081
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,400
hands and throw it and it just
for fun.

1082
01:08:04,300 --> 01:08:07,400
But those are the kind of things
that he does offer and you have

1083
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:12,900
to watch out for the.
One thing I did notice is a

1084
01:08:12,900 --> 01:08:14,900
1-point difference.
Score on his, you car and he

1085
01:08:14,900 --> 01:08:18,800
gets hit, he gets taken down one
time and I don't know what they

1086
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,399
call on the ball or what, but he
comes up breathing hard, he's

1087
01:08:22,399 --> 01:08:25,600
holding his ribs, he comes out
and they bring in another

1088
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:26,800
quarterback.
Number seven.

1089
01:08:28,100 --> 01:08:34,700
And I'm going to tell you what.
It's been, it's a really good

1090
01:08:34,700 --> 01:08:36,899
quarterback and really got.
You got to keep an eye out.

1091
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:42,000
It's not what happens to him.
And Stephen comes in that man's

1092
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,500
a threat.
He throws the ball.

1093
01:08:44,500 --> 01:08:48,399
Well he runs well, and I didn't
want to get a lot of use to him

1094
01:08:48,399 --> 01:08:51,700
because I think Bennett is the
guy that they're they're using

1095
01:08:51,700 --> 01:08:54,300
and going with.
But if you see that next

1096
01:08:54,300 --> 01:08:57,000
quarterback, come in.
There's a reason behind it.

1097
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,700
Is that kids got some athletic
ability.

1098
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:00,700
Yeah it's probably Kate on
Salter.

1099
01:09:00,700 --> 01:09:03,200
You're talking about there.
That's what it was.

1100
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,399
Yeah salty.
Yeah he's definitely more of a

1101
01:09:05,407 --> 01:09:09,100
running thread to and Bennett
and Probably their quarterback

1102
01:09:09,100 --> 01:09:11,000
of the future.
Honestly, probably the

1103
01:09:11,008 --> 01:09:14,899
quarterback of the future.
Unless unless Hugh decides to go

1104
01:09:14,899 --> 01:09:21,399
to Auburn.
Liberty's basically in her

1105
01:09:21,399 --> 01:09:23,600
backyard.
True.

1106
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,399
We all know that it Liberty
wants to keep him back.

1107
01:09:27,899 --> 01:09:30,700
And as long as he's not chasing,
the national championship

1108
01:09:30,899 --> 01:09:33,200
Liberty, keep paging him just as
much as all the did he?

1109
01:09:34,300 --> 01:09:35,899
That's true.
But it's the lawyer man.

1110
01:09:35,899 --> 01:09:38,100
Is the Lord.
Let's talk about the running a

1111
01:09:38,100 --> 01:09:40,800
little bit next.
Let's, um, I know you mentioned

1112
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:44,300
to me, she drove Louis is out.
He was out against UConn, likely

1113
01:09:44,300 --> 01:09:46,500
going to miss this week.
But you know what?

1114
01:09:46,500 --> 01:09:48,100
And he'd been their primary
backup.

1115
01:09:48,100 --> 01:09:53,500
But when him out with the, the
primary guide a day, Honor, who

1116
01:09:53,500 --> 01:09:55,800
is absolutely tearing it up
before he got hurt against

1117
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,800
Arkansas.
Yeah, they bring in a third

1118
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,900
string, running back, third
string running back.

1119
01:10:01,100 --> 01:10:05,400
TJ, green, TJ, green and
originally committed to Utah.

1120
01:10:06,500 --> 01:10:08,700
Out of Chandler, High School in
Chandler.

1121
01:10:08,700 --> 01:10:14,300
Arizona was a three-star
composite 3, star overall 247

1122
01:10:14,300 --> 01:10:17,500
Sports.
And to me, I like how in him.

1123
01:10:17,500 --> 01:10:19,800
If he kicks the guy, you
normally feel good about the

1124
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:22,800
guy.
And I tell you, I mean, Robbie,

1125
01:10:23,100 --> 01:10:27,100
I mean he put up numbers, he put
up numbers against.

1126
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:29,500
He was the first string running
back.

1127
01:10:29,500 --> 01:10:34,100
There are strong and he goes up
and goes from 119.

1128
01:10:34,900 --> 01:10:37,000
He was believed rusher for the
team last year.

1129
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:41,300
Running back.
He was one of their best options

1130
01:10:41,300 --> 01:10:43,600
at running back.
Last year, what does that say

1131
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,200
for the other two?
If you're leading rusher for

1132
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:49,400
last year, on a team to did, as
well as they did is now the

1133
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:54,400
third option that don't play
well that don't play well for

1134
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,600
Keys, got to figure out how to
shut down the road, not at all.

1135
01:10:57,900 --> 01:11:00,500
So what are you seeing from?
What are you seeing from him?

1136
01:11:00,500 --> 01:11:03,300
Just as far as playing he give
you.

1137
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,700
He has an explosive dual threat
out of the backfield.

1138
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:11,100
He can hit holes, he take off.
He gets to the second level

1139
01:11:11,100 --> 01:11:14,400
quickly.
He'll attack your safeties in

1140
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:20,000
the hole opens enough but he can
he can be the guy out today.

1141
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:25,600
Is that you step down and, and
make moves and get out of here.

1142
01:11:28,300 --> 01:11:31,700
He's a DJ Greener.
Is going to be a guy to watch.

1143
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:33,600
He's going to be a guy to keep
your eye.

1144
01:11:33,700 --> 01:11:36,700
I don't it.
Every every chance the big thing

1145
01:11:36,700 --> 01:11:43,500
is they He runs the ball.
Well, he's quick, he hits hole.

1146
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:47,500
He finds his scenes but it
almost looks like Liberty

1147
01:11:47,500 --> 01:11:49,400
doesn't use it as much as they
could.

1148
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:55,900
They could literally hand that
ball off and grind that guy and

1149
01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:01,900
and be very similar to what we
saw at pit and hit it, hit it,

1150
01:12:01,900 --> 01:12:07,800
hit it, then it breaks huge.
But it's like it's Ricky gets

1151
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,500
difficult for you seven or eight
or nine, and they go, okay, that

1152
01:12:11,500 --> 01:12:14,400
was good.
Let's try to swing it out to a

1153
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:16,900
receiver and see what Get out
there in space.

1154
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:18,800
Well, it's you'll find out
minute.

1155
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,200
It's not a bad option either.
Well, I was getting ready to

1156
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:24,000
say.
There is a reason why they don't

1157
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,500
do that and he is name is
Demario, Douglas.

1158
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,500
He is only five foot eight.
He is only 165 pounds.

1159
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:36,000
He was not rated coming out of
high school down in

1160
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,500
Jacksonville, Florida.
He had some offers from

1161
01:12:38,500 --> 01:12:42,000
Gardner-Webb UAB Florida
Atlantic and he finally landed

1162
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:46,500
at Liberty Robbie before I get
into the that's I'm going to let

1163
01:12:46,500 --> 01:12:50,200
you break down.
Exactly what you see on him.

1164
01:12:51,300 --> 01:12:53,900
You could you can see our notes.
I know you've been looking at.

1165
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,400
What's the very first thing I
have on their notes about this

1166
01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:01,600
guy now the old dr.
Dre song, explosive explosive.

1167
01:13:02,500 --> 01:13:04,400
This Gap is there.
Do.

1168
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,200
What?
All they can throw it to and

1169
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:09,400
down field?
They can throw it to him on

1170
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:13,500
strings.
He's better return me this.

1171
01:13:13,700 --> 01:13:19,600
This young man is, Very tough to
take down his face.

1172
01:13:20,300 --> 01:13:24,900
He moves in and out of things.
Well, he moves his, he he's very

1173
01:13:24,900 --> 01:13:29,100
quick on his routes.
He adjusts his Route, 12, and

1174
01:13:29,100 --> 01:13:32,400
once he catches the ball, that's
just half of it.

1175
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:35,800
But I mean, you've got to be,
you got to be ready to take care

1176
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:41,100
of him after that or he should
return five yard, catch into a

1177
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:47,100
25 year old passenger hurt.
I mean, he's exposed quickly,

1178
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,100
he's not very big.
It looks like he's been wrapped

1179
01:13:50,100 --> 01:13:52,500
in butter.
There's some teams over the

1180
01:13:52,500 --> 01:13:58,000
season they have had a very hard
time keeping hands on you well

1181
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:02,800
and it shows two men.
It shows cuz I mean in 10 games,

1182
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,000
he's got eight hundred thirty
yards, he's at over 14, half

1183
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,200
perception, he's got six
touchdowns and last week, they

1184
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,800
got involved in the running game
where he broke a huge one for a

1185
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:18,200
touchdown.
And with their style office.

1186
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:22,400
And I mean, they're running,
they're running a pretty Pretty

1187
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:26,600
high tempo.
Power spread right deal.

1188
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,800
You know, they can hit you hard
with the with the Run game

1189
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,200
inside.
Do you get a guy like this?

1190
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:36,600
You can pop out and throw it to
him and with their Tempo, the

1191
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,300
way they don't line up and run
for you move quickly.

1192
01:14:39,900 --> 01:14:41,500
You got to try to find it every
foot.

1193
01:14:41,900 --> 01:14:45,100
It will seize it.
You know, when we call the wire

1194
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:47,900
dizi, the outside the car
outside guy.

1195
01:14:47,900 --> 01:14:51,900
Now the next point he's in, it's
locked, you know, he's number

1196
01:14:51,900 --> 01:14:54,400
three in a trip.
Next thing, you know, He's the

1197
01:14:54,407 --> 01:15:01,100
backfield, he's on it, on the
receiver side and empty

1198
01:15:01,100 --> 01:15:05,000
formation and he jetting across.
I mean, you got to find it for

1199
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,700
you in and play out.
He's moving around.

1200
01:15:08,500 --> 01:15:11,100
It makes it tough.
Makes it really tough on the

1201
01:15:11,100 --> 01:15:15,000
defense to have to find somebody
that explosive while you're just

1202
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,600
trying to get everybody lined
up.

1203
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,500
Because of their Tempo that it's
going to be a big thing.

1204
01:15:20,500 --> 01:15:22,800
It's going to be tough.
All right.

1205
01:15:23,100 --> 01:15:26,200
I know you wanted to hit two
more players on the offensive

1206
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:28,700
side of the ball.
For we talk about the scheme and

1207
01:15:28,700 --> 01:15:32,600
that's the tight ends, Austin,
Austin, Henderson number. 83

1208
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,800
Jerome Jackson.
Number 88 Henderson was

1209
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:40,900
originally a Minnesota commit in
Jackson, is at a Fort Worth

1210
01:15:40,900 --> 01:15:45,000
Texas.
Basically super under the radar.

1211
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,400
Exactly?
Like what do you like they do?

1212
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:48,900
Do they do they are they on the
field?

1213
01:15:48,900 --> 01:15:51,000
The same time or they kind of
interchangeable?

1214
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:58,600
but me, when you look at them,
you know, looking at Virginia

1215
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:03,800
Tech they both have kind of a
blue brick kind of feel.

1216
01:16:04,100 --> 01:16:07,400
Okay, thank God won't reach.
You can line them up in the

1217
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,200
backfield as the HVAC like
block, very well, both of them

1218
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:15,800
walk very well, but they've also
got the leaked inability to line

1219
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,700
up out wide as a receiver.
And the biggest thing with that

1220
01:16:19,700 --> 01:16:24,200
is they're blocking well then
field for those screens that the

1221
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:28,400
throne Douglas, they're blocking
well, inside to help the Run

1222
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:33,200
game but suddenly okay.
And we're talking about a

1223
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,500
defense is looking at personal
mail, okay?

1224
01:16:35,500 --> 01:16:37,100
We got two tight ends on the
field.

1225
01:16:37,900 --> 01:16:43,300
Well, as, as a defensive
coordinator, they got two tight

1226
01:16:43,300 --> 01:16:45,800
ends on the field.
They're probably going to run

1227
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:49,600
something powerful inside.
Well they do, they line up two

1228
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,800
tight ends, they run a power
look, well then they Tempo.

1229
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,700
Get back to the ball and then
they didn't change your body on

1230
01:16:55,700 --> 01:17:00,200
the field which means I can't
rotate anybody off the field or

1231
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,200
onto the field defensively and
that Tempo.

1232
01:17:02,900 --> 01:17:05,800
But now they're 5y well what
happened to those two tight

1233
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,600
ends?
Well they're split out wide or

1234
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,500
just get a receiver that there
is what we need.

1235
01:17:12,900 --> 01:17:16,300
That's a big thing.
When you can take two guys that

1236
01:17:16,300 --> 01:17:19,300
you're set with your defense to
go against the power and next

1237
01:17:19,300 --> 01:17:22,700
thing, you know, they're out
wide and they're on a five or

1238
01:17:22,700 --> 01:17:26,200
Seaver set and things like that.
That make sense Tempo a lot more

1239
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,800
dangerous when you can make that
many different formations with

1240
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,100
the same, guys that look like a
power set.

1241
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:37,600
Now, I've got, you know, four
defensive linemen and three true

1242
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,900
linebackers in there.
I've got two linebackers.

1243
01:17:39,900 --> 01:17:42,600
Trying to cover receipts I don't
work.

1244
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:44,200
It ain't it.
You better work.

1245
01:17:44,900 --> 01:17:48,300
So what else is it about this?
What else is it about?

1246
01:17:48,300 --> 01:17:51,600
The scheme of Hugh, freeze,
obviously, it's the up-tempo

1247
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:54,900
spread its the having these.
I wouldn't say interchangeable,

1248
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:59,200
but guys, he can take from being
at a church or being on a wing

1249
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,600
to pulling back.
What else do you see on this

1250
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:05,300
offense?
Those things that they do and

1251
01:18:05,300 --> 01:18:09,100
they and they do well, they have
the guys that can play well in

1252
01:18:09,100 --> 01:18:11,500
space and they can move they can
run.

1253
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:14,000
It back out to one side, have
Douglas on the other.

1254
01:18:14,300 --> 01:18:16,400
You have to respect that on both
sides.

1255
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:22,800
You have to find those guys in
that Temple process in turn that

1256
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,900
makes your Defense Act to
simplify a little bit more to

1257
01:18:26,900 --> 01:18:32,000
make sure that those calls are
easily transferable easily

1258
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:37,400
translatable and set up quickly
so that you can you sound as

1259
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:41,500
possible and I think that's I
think that's good present.

1260
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:47,800
Quite a challenge is some
aspects and how many now it

1261
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:52,100
allows them to be up-tempo and
it allows them to put some

1262
01:18:52,100 --> 01:19:01,200
yardage on the field quickly.
And in many ways it's happened

1263
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:05,700
to me before it can also turn
against you very quick because

1264
01:19:05,700 --> 01:19:10,100
if you get into that Tempo and
that defense finds a way to kind

1265
01:19:10,100 --> 01:19:13,100
of shut those squeeze down.
Then all of a sudden your

1266
01:19:13,100 --> 01:19:16,200
offense is on the field for
about 17 seconds of game clock

1267
01:19:17,100 --> 01:19:18,800
and your defense is on the
field.

1268
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:23,300
You know 100 please and it away
ioudiy pants down.

1269
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,700
Got it.
When we talk about a defense,

1270
01:19:26,700 --> 01:19:29,900
I'll talk a little bit more
about about that but thank you.

1271
01:19:30,500 --> 01:19:34,600
If Virginia Tech and find a way
to slow that Tempo even though

1272
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:39,500
they're turned to run it or shut
down the things that they like

1273
01:19:39,500 --> 01:19:42,200
to do with that Tempo, it's
going to put more pressure on

1274
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:44,600
their defense which in turn will
help that softens.

1275
01:19:44,900 --> 01:19:47,800
I think I got it.
All right, no matter what they

1276
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:50,300
can get that done.
All right, well, let's flip over

1277
01:19:50,300 --> 01:19:53,100
to defense and let's let's talk
about a couple of these guys

1278
01:19:53,100 --> 01:19:55,000
over here.
Let's talk about the guy who's

1279
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:00,100
been absolutely lighting up.
The A statistical data this

1280
01:20:00,100 --> 01:20:03,400
year.
And that is the defensive end.

1281
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:08,900
Darrell Johnson, 64 235 pounds.
A Juco out of a sa College up in

1282
01:20:08,900 --> 01:20:12,500
new, in Brooklyn, New York.
And I'm sure you had a fun time

1283
01:20:12,500 --> 01:20:16,100
watching this kid.
Robbie seven sacks ATM half

1284
01:20:16,100 --> 01:20:19,300
tackles for loss or T3.
Total tackles.

1285
01:20:20,100 --> 01:20:24,600
He's also forced a fumble,
multiple pass deflected.

1286
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:29,100
Multiple fumble.
Recoveries Tell me, tell me how

1287
01:20:29,100 --> 01:20:31,400
fun was it watching this kid and
what stood out for you?

1288
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,500
He's back disruptor that I've
talked about the tech needs to

1289
01:20:35,500 --> 01:20:42,800
look for He's he's an athlete
but he's not Elite World.

1290
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:49,900
Beaten, is Scott's really good?
He's not a, he's not somebody

1291
01:20:49,900 --> 01:20:51,700
that people are looking at right
now going.

1292
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:56,700
Will consider him with a top 3
round bracket.

1293
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,400
But statistically, he's putting
up numbers.

1294
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,600
Yes, he is.
He's a disruptive, he's forcing

1295
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:07,100
backfield to make decisions
quickly, whether it's throw the

1296
01:21:07,100 --> 01:21:10,200
ball, when they're not ready,
whether it's the hand that zone

1297
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:13,400
read or the or the different
things there, before they're

1298
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:17,600
ready having to pull it and make
it throws on the rpos quicker

1299
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:20,100
than they do.
That's why he's getting class,

1300
01:21:20,100 --> 01:21:24,500
deflections, he's in there, they
make the wrong read on his own.

1301
01:21:24,500 --> 01:21:26,800
He's there to tackle it.
That's where the top.

1302
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:31,000
Tackles for loss or coming from,
I mean he's a disruptive, he's

1303
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:36,300
doing things fundamentally way.
He sets The Edge tremendously,

1304
01:21:36,300 --> 01:21:39,100
well, which helps them with
those tackles for losses.

1305
01:21:39,100 --> 01:21:43,500
Well, I mean, he'll he'll stick
your stick your hand in there in

1306
01:21:43,500 --> 01:21:46,500
a hurry and nobody's getting
outside of his shoulder.

1307
01:21:47,500 --> 01:21:53,400
If you try to run his own or
stretch to his age, he's got it

1308
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,700
covered.
That's your type of player that

1309
01:21:55,700 --> 01:22:00,500
he had, he's got some very long
arms, got a good reach and those

1310
01:22:00,500 --> 01:22:06,000
things helped him a lot.
It's helped him a lot with

1311
01:22:06,300 --> 01:22:09,100
knocking balls down to the going
to check downs and things like

1312
01:22:09,100 --> 01:22:12,200
that as well.
So I mean he's definitely going

1313
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:16,700
to be a niche, you on that edge.
But the good part is I don't

1314
01:22:16,700 --> 01:22:20,600
think Virginia Tech's, not a
team that looks to be running.

1315
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:26,200
A lot of ads, run plays a lot of
stretches and, and wide zones

1316
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:30,400
and things like that.
So his outside shoulder ability,

1317
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:34,800
which is going to help him.
Most when Wells, Trying to roll

1318
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,500
out the pro bowls.
I think that's where he'll

1319
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:43,100
you'll cause some trouble in
enforcing Grant could try to

1320
01:22:43,100 --> 01:22:45,000
throw snowballs.
Maybe a little sooner than he

1321
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:49,300
looked for having to adjust his
arm angle and make those balls,

1322
01:22:49,300 --> 01:22:52,600
go around a little bit and that
we know that can happen with

1323
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:54,200
Grant, the way this year's
going.

1324
01:22:54,500 --> 01:22:56,500
And Brian, let's talk about his
running mate.

1325
01:22:56,500 --> 01:22:59,500
They're on the defensive line as
well Dennis.

1326
01:22:59,500 --> 01:23:02,500
Oh, so jitta from Missouri City
Texas.

1327
01:23:02,500 --> 01:23:09,600
Originally a commit to you.
A mass way back in 2000 and

1328
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:15,700
2017.
So he enrolled in 2018.

1329
01:23:15,700 --> 01:23:18,500
So he's played Collegiate
football, quite a few years.

1330
01:23:18,500 --> 01:23:23,400
And so, really, he's 22. 23
years old came through here,

1331
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:30,100
obviously via the portal 61
about 300 pounds, good size,

1332
01:23:30,100 --> 01:23:34,200
what's the tape showing on him?
He is, he is a crawl.

1333
01:23:36,700 --> 01:23:42,300
Disrupt full force the double
team's defensive interior

1334
01:23:42,300 --> 01:23:48,800
defensive linemen.
They like the volume up in a

1335
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,900
gap.
Over the guard, enforce the

1336
01:23:51,900 --> 01:23:54,900
center, to have to help with
him.

1337
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:59,200
Because obviously, the tackle
has her hands full opposite of

1338
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:02,800
that.
With, with Vicki Johnson, makes

1339
01:24:03,700 --> 01:24:08,000
he forces double team, which
allows has Linebackers to move

1340
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,800
freely and make tactics make
points.

1341
01:24:12,100 --> 01:24:16,300
Both of their defensive tackles
do pretty good job of forcing

1342
01:24:16,300 --> 01:24:21,100
the attention of the offensive
line and that makes it a lot

1343
01:24:21,100 --> 01:24:23,700
easier for for your linebackers
to move freely.

1344
01:24:24,100 --> 01:24:27,500
That's one thing that I feel
like we did well here this year

1345
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,700
was that defensive line Force?
Double teams and places of our

1346
01:24:31,700 --> 01:24:35,900
linebackers wrapped up fact and
I that's a good fundamental to

1347
01:24:35,900 --> 01:24:40,200
do with With the defense and I
think they're pretty good at it.

1348
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:44,900
But but 90 I'm not even trying
to put that last name out there.

1349
01:24:47,300 --> 01:24:50,900
Dennis, Dennis, Dennis, Dennis,
the Menace.

1350
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:56,500
That is a good way to put it, he
plays low, he plays with good

1351
01:24:56,500 --> 01:24:59,900
pad level, it's hard to move out
of the Gap even with a double

1352
01:24:59,900 --> 01:25:02,700
team.
So if you're trying to pound it

1353
01:25:02,700 --> 01:25:09,000
into a gap, then He's spilling
it and your linebackers are

1354
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:12,900
coming on, either side of it to
shut other things down.

1355
01:25:13,300 --> 01:25:18,800
And with offensive line that has
not shown a lot of consistency

1356
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:23,900
of making push and clearing
things out in some of those

1357
01:25:23,900 --> 01:25:25,700
areas.
He's going to be, he's going to

1358
01:25:25,708 --> 01:25:29,600
be some trouble up front and
those linebackers will be coming

1359
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,800
pretty quickly.
There's no reason why they have

1360
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,800
it in tackles for loss and
playing a lot of people's Back

1361
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,500
Field that they do.
Oh yeah.

1362
01:25:36,500 --> 01:25:39,300
And he himself I mean he's got
ten and a half tackles for loss,

1363
01:25:39,300 --> 01:25:42,800
66 saxo you.
You're talking about him being

1364
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,500
disruptive and being able to
hold the gaps in He's obviously

1365
01:25:45,500 --> 01:25:47,600
giving up in there, making plays
as well.

1366
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,600
And you know, let's flip and
talk about the linebackers

1367
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,000
because you wanted to kind of
talk about all three of them.

1368
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:57,400
You got, you got Mike Smith, he
was a Juco transfer from

1369
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:01,400
Mississippi Gulf Coast hiring
Dupree enrolled in Liberty way,

1370
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:04,800
back in 2018.
So he's a fifth year guy and

1371
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:08,000
then I'm Ed Walker at a Warner
Robins Georgia.

1372
01:26:08,700 --> 01:26:13,400
I mean, the kid was a two-star
coming out of high school, he's

1373
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:16,200
the class of 21.
One is his only his second

1374
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:18,000
season, he's a redshirt
freshman.

1375
01:26:18,300 --> 01:26:21,700
And this group in general, I
know you talked about Robbie

1376
01:26:21,700 --> 01:26:24,200
made mentioned like all these
guys have 40 plus tackles

1377
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:28,200
playing linebacker Robbie, they
got 21 and a half tackles for

1378
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:31,600
losses group.
Yeah, I mean and a Lobby

1379
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:36,400
laughing these three guys.
A lot of that comes from, they

1380
01:26:36,500 --> 01:26:39,200
have protection.
A lot of people don't think

1381
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,100
about protection difference, it
would that have a lot of

1382
01:26:41,100 --> 01:26:46,100
protection up front and those
defense bombing Those two guys

1383
01:26:46,100 --> 01:26:50,400
interior-wise free them up
because they take the blockers

1384
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:57,100
and they look the field, it and
ruin and they do they do well at

1385
01:26:57,100 --> 01:26:59,300
it.
I will tell you the honest

1386
01:26:59,300 --> 01:27:04,600
truth.
I mod Walker reminds me a lot of

1387
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:07,500
a mr.
Edmonds, and you should play in

1388
01:27:07,500 --> 01:27:13,900
the burgundy and orange.
Thank you his size, he plays

1389
01:27:13,900 --> 01:27:19,700
very similar game and that way
he's having a pretty good career

1390
01:27:19,700 --> 01:27:24,700
I think with Buffalo.
So just a little bit his style

1391
01:27:24,700 --> 01:27:29,600
reminds me, a lot of that and
The fact that he's in his second

1392
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:33,300
year is going to be a name that
here for a while.

1393
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:41,400
Hundred percent of side Mike
Smith is that slate he didn't

1394
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:43,900
play against you.
If he do quizzes, you found me

1395
01:27:43,900 --> 01:27:47,800
with minimally.
I don't remember seeing him but

1396
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:51,400
his stats before self when you
go back and look at a lot of the

1397
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:57,400
other games, you see him a lot.
I mean he's in place and a lot

1398
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:00,200
of that.
Ben's opening in front of them

1399
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:05,500
because of that defensive front
because of the, the deacons

1400
01:28:05,500 --> 01:28:09,400
Devine and those two tackles
when you have five Ramen that

1401
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:12,700
are there to block and you have
to use all Vibe over the block

1402
01:28:12,700 --> 01:28:16,800
two or three it, frees up the
linebackers, to really make

1403
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:22,000
plays and and all three of them.
Excuse me, do very well with

1404
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:23,700
that.
So they should be very

1405
01:28:23,700 --> 01:28:27,300
appreciative of those monsters
up front that are helping them.

1406
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:32,300
But Bobby EG speak.
Broadly speaking like a true

1407
01:28:32,300 --> 01:28:33,600
defensive line coach.
Right?

1408
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:49,700
There are going to be
in the amount of tackles for

1409
01:28:49,700 --> 01:28:50,900
loss.
They've got which I want to talk

1410
01:28:50,900 --> 01:28:54,600
about when we talk about the
keys but it's helping that back

1411
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:56,200
in.
And probably the guy that's

1412
01:28:56,200 --> 01:29:01,800
benefited the most is Is the
sixth 385 pounds safety and

1413
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,400
Robert Ray me out of San
Antonio, Texas.

1414
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,900
I mean Robbie, we looked at we
take a look at his stats.

1415
01:29:07,900 --> 01:29:12,800
I mean, I mean solid you know,
tackle numbers for safety but

1416
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:16,700
that kids got five picks and
yeah, I am assuming probably.

1417
01:29:16,700 --> 01:29:20,600
What you see is the linemen are
forcing the ball earlier.

1418
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:25,000
The linebackers are coming up
fortunate earlier, and he's and

1419
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:26,800
he's and he's taking full
advantage of it.

1420
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:33,300
He benefiting over 100 percent.
He he's a lot of he's in the

1421
01:29:33,300 --> 01:29:37,500
middle of the field a lot.
Now I wouldn't say that there.

1422
01:29:38,900 --> 01:29:42,300
Their past defense, their
corners and things like that are

1423
01:29:42,300 --> 01:29:44,000
the strong point of that
defense.

1424
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:46,800
Okay.
But this efficient enough

1425
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:52,000
because of the pressure and the
things that they're getting up

1426
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:57,400
burnt from the rep, from the
linebackers from the defensive

1427
01:29:57,400 --> 01:30:00,800
end that balls are getting out
of there quickly and sometimes

1428
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:04,600
they getting out of that
inherently and the DVDs are

1429
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:08,500
really benefit from that here
more so than a lot boss.

1430
01:30:08,700 --> 01:30:13,000
He's coming over to Middle ball
deflected and he's picking

1431
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:16,900
things up that way.
He's actually very good against

1432
01:30:16,900 --> 01:30:19,400
the run to me.
If they get through the other

1433
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:22,500
parts.
As you said, with the tackles,

1434
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:26,300
he's getting those.
They're not a lot of long

1435
01:30:26,300 --> 01:30:31,700
Pursuit on big play tackles it's
oh they squeezed by somebody and

1436
01:30:31,700 --> 01:30:38,000
now he's there to help out.
He's a he's a very patient

1437
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,400
safety.
I would say and that's when a

1438
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:47,100
lot of those other secular picks
and things off of balls, that

1439
01:30:47,300 --> 01:30:51,800
probably shouldn't have been
thrown when they were hit balls,

1440
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:56,900
things like that.
So, watching him in several

1441
01:30:56,900 --> 01:31:00,700
games, he's obviously a very
vocal leader of that group as

1442
01:31:00,700 --> 01:31:03,900
well.
Okay, and follow him.

1443
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:08,500
And he's the, he's a very
motivational inspirational.

1444
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:11,300
No part of that defense in the
whole thing.

1445
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:17,200
So I thought we would be doing
them a disservice if we didn't

1446
01:31:17,200 --> 01:31:19,300
mention it, in many of those
ways.

1447
01:31:19,700 --> 01:31:22,800
Also, what do you see on this
defensive scheme?

1448
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:25,400
And what you do we've talked
about some of the players and

1449
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:26,800
you've been mentioning kind of
throughout.

1450
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:31,000
But what are a few other things
to look for in this scheme that

1451
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:35,400
their space?
My man, those guys up front, eat

1452
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:38,000
you eat your your interior space
up.

1453
01:31:38,100 --> 01:31:41,800
He's going to be Hard to squeeze
power runs in there because of

1454
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:44,500
the way, they clog things up and
a lot of linebackers to run

1455
01:31:44,500 --> 01:31:48,000
free.
They rely a lot on those double.

1456
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:51,800
Tees up front and allow those
linebackers playing your

1457
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:56,300
backfield.
They force you to play the game

1458
01:31:56,300 --> 01:32:00,300
horizontally.
Okay, from side to side, instead

1459
01:32:00,300 --> 01:32:04,300
of getting too much down bill.
Now if you can find a protection

1460
01:32:04,300 --> 01:32:07,700
and you can get the ball out,
Think Tank and take some

1461
01:32:07,700 --> 01:32:10,500
Advantage with some decent
receivers.

1462
01:32:11,100 --> 01:32:15,700
If Grant can stay poised enough
in that pocket to get balls out

1463
01:32:15,700 --> 01:32:20,000
quickly, I think they can take
advantage of the dbe's not being

1464
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:24,100
the best, but he's got to be,
you got to be ready for that.

1465
01:32:24,100 --> 01:32:25,500
First week, will take some
shots.

1466
01:32:26,100 --> 01:32:29,500
Got to realize that we're going
to have to make some Some

1467
01:32:29,500 --> 01:32:33,300
extraordinary push up front to
make that run game work or else

1468
01:32:33,300 --> 01:32:36,200
they're just gonna they're gonna
pressure you all night?

1469
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:40,100
All right.
Well, let's flip we got, we've

1470
01:32:40,100 --> 01:32:42,000
talked players.
We taught skiing only just talk

1471
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:44,700
about a couple Keys here.
I looked at Robby and I will

1472
01:32:44,700 --> 01:32:47,200
talk.
The first one is Hokies tackles

1473
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:51,000
for loss.
Liberty, they can give up some

1474
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,200
on their offensive line.
I mean they're 115 thin.

1475
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:58,500
The country they're given up
about 80 game. 24 yards in the

1476
01:32:58,500 --> 01:33:01,700
Hokies are roughly a top 50
getting about six.

1477
01:33:01,700 --> 01:33:05,200
So slightly above average in
after hearing you mentioned

1478
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:08,100
about this offense in the chunk
plays and how quick they can go

1479
01:33:08,100 --> 01:33:14,300
out if we aren't, if we don't at
least hit their average, it's

1480
01:33:14,300 --> 01:33:17,900
going to even longer day than I
think it's already going to be.

1481
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:21,200
If you're telling me we're down
to what we normally average,

1482
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,500
it's not going to be good at
all, if we can live in that

1483
01:33:23,500 --> 01:33:25,300
backfield.
Yeah.

1484
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:28,700
And it's going to go back to
what I was talking about.

1485
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:31,600
If you can, if you can play in
that back, you can play in their

1486
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:37,600
backfield and forth that Tempo
to run them off the field.

1487
01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:42,800
Weekly then tax defense is going
to be on the field last time.

1488
01:33:44,100 --> 01:33:47,800
And Virginia Tech's going to
have to control things office.

1489
01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:54,600
If Virginia Tech can't control,
things offensive ly and the

1490
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:59,400
Defense Forces Liberty in on and
off the field quickly and you

1491
01:33:59,407 --> 01:34:03,300
know, 345 play drives and
getting the ball back.

1492
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,600
Then both of these defenses are
going to be wiped out by the end

1493
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:10,800
of oh I don't I don't doubt that
whatsoever.

1494
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:14,100
I don't know if that but but
you've already mentioned it.

1495
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:16,600
With Liberty to about tackles
for loss.

1496
01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:19,000
I mean, they're the best team in
the country at getting tackles

1497
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:23,400
for loss.
They are and and now the Hokey

1498
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:27,000
our approaches, but they're not
atrocious.

1499
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:29,300
They give up a little.
They actually give up less than

1500
01:34:29,300 --> 01:34:33,300
Liberty, they're not as bad as
you think.

1501
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:37,000
I think a lot what goes on with
that offensive line is what you

1502
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:42,300
seen is not being able to either
missing a step or get in there

1503
01:34:42,300 --> 01:34:44,700
and not making the push where
they're not.

1504
01:34:44,900 --> 01:34:48,800
Driven back but when you plan A
Team like Liberty and you see

1505
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:52,900
them, you know, 9/10 times a
game on top of potentially, what

1506
01:34:52,900 --> 01:34:58,300
they do is sacks.
I mean if they hit that average

1507
01:34:58,300 --> 01:35:00,000
it's again going to be a long
day.

1508
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:06,200
So you you've said it they make
you play horizontally and I

1509
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:10,200
think in some ways it's okay to
play horizontally because going

1510
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:16,400
into a wall 40 times and getting
1.6% Per carry ankle and do

1511
01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:19,800
anything to you.
At least horizontally, at least

1512
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:25,500
horizontally.
If you can miss a tackle get

1513
01:35:25,500 --> 01:35:28,700
eight yards.
Exactly perfectly set up a

1514
01:35:28,708 --> 01:35:34,200
screen, get 20 a you're going to
probably see the safeties move

1515
01:35:34,200 --> 01:35:36,500
it's going to slowly start
moving the box where you can say

1516
01:35:36,500 --> 01:35:40,000
Grant we're about to take the
shot you said it three or four

1517
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:44,100
times P Poise standing there
because Dwayne or Caleb can beat

1518
01:35:44,100 --> 01:35:46,500
These Guys.
These aren't Ali Corners.

1519
01:35:47,100 --> 01:35:49,300
We're going to, it's going to be
pushed, but you're probably

1520
01:35:49,300 --> 01:35:51,400
going to get hit as you finish
your throat.

1521
01:35:52,900 --> 01:35:58,700
There's no problem.
Robbie's like guaranteed, he

1522
01:35:58,700 --> 01:36:02,200
gets hit 12 times.
Are you gonna be the other

1523
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:05,600
thing?
I'm going to say something on

1524
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:11,400
this to my next Point.
I've never seen a 9 when team be

1525
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:14,400
this bad in.
Turnovers blueberries, turned

1526
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:19,100
the ball over 21 times this year
that adds to win nine games.

1527
01:36:19,100 --> 01:36:21,700
And I know what people will say
is, we'll look at the look at

1528
01:36:21,708 --> 01:36:23,900
the competition.
You know?

1529
01:36:24,700 --> 01:36:28,300
Yep, they did beat Arkansas, but
they've also played some of the

1530
01:36:28,300 --> 01:36:33,300
worst teams in the country and I
think we talked about how low

1531
01:36:33,300 --> 01:36:36,100
Tech was this year and forcing
turnovers, one of the worst in

1532
01:36:36,108 --> 01:36:40,300
the country to have a chance in
this game Tech has to be at

1533
01:36:40,300 --> 01:36:49,200
least plus 2 absolutely plus 2.
And if they if they can't if

1534
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:52,500
they can't force Bennett and
Bennett shown a propensity to

1535
01:36:52,700 --> 01:36:55,400
throw the ball away.
Like you said, you said he'll

1536
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:59,000
get Rattle and he'll make stupid
decisions you'll advise prove

1537
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:01,500
ill-advised.
So if they can take advantage of

1538
01:37:01,500 --> 01:37:04,200
that, there's a chance.
But they've got to make that in

1539
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:06,000
the last piece.
And I didn't put this on here

1540
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:08,700
because I couldn't think of a
third one, but you mentioned in

1541
01:37:08,700 --> 01:37:14,400
t.o.p and them somehow Liberty,
even when they lose, they, when

1542
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:18,200
they have the So good games
they're still at EOP of 30

1543
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:24,000
minutes I think protect and
after what you said when they

1544
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:27,500
get them off the field they have
to figure out ways to extend

1545
01:37:27,500 --> 01:37:32,400
drives and it's not been pretty,
it's not text, one of the worst

1546
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:37,200
in the country at it.
But if you can find a way, they

1547
01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:41,300
have too many.
If you know, to me, this should

1548
01:37:41,300 --> 01:37:44,000
be the game.
If you're Tyler bone empty, the

1549
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:46,500
clip.
Don't absolutely.

1550
01:37:48,300 --> 01:37:49,500
There's nothing to lose right
now.

1551
01:37:50,100 --> 01:37:52,700
There's nothing to lose as long
as you aren't in danger in the

1552
01:37:52,700 --> 01:37:56,900
players, nothing to lose.
All right.

1553
01:37:56,900 --> 01:38:00,500
And and you know, we talked
about it a little bit at the

1554
01:38:00,508 --> 01:38:05,000
very top of the show and we
haven't really mentioned another

1555
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:08,100
part of this could very well be
the last game of the season.

1556
01:38:08,500 --> 01:38:11,400
It's true.
Very well that there aren't some

1557
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:13,800
questions about whether you be
able to finish their feet.

1558
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:17,500
So just put that out there.
This may be it.

1559
01:38:17,700 --> 01:38:19,700
So, why not put it all out
there?

1560
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:22,700
Why not?
It's very true.

1561
01:38:23,900 --> 01:38:26,000
All right.
Well Robbie, it's the fun.

1562
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:28,100
I'm right now.
It's prediction time.

1563
01:38:28,700 --> 01:38:32,800
You are the guest I get to lead
just the way Tex played this

1564
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:34,300
year.
The stuff we've mentioned at the

1565
01:38:34,300 --> 01:38:37,000
top of the program, how
Liberties play it on both sides

1566
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:40,000
of the ball?
I do think the games competitive

1567
01:38:40,700 --> 01:38:43,400
but I think is what we've seen
all year with the tech defense.

1568
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:47,000
I think that third quarter comes
and they're they're probably

1569
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:52,800
down 2010 2013 and like we saw
against West Virginia against

1570
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:57,400
pit against NC State and it It's
Georgia Tech eventually the

1571
01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:03,100
defense in your defensive coach.
They see it and they it's Wiley

1572
01:39:03,100 --> 01:39:08,500
Coyote they get to the end and
it's like And probably ready for

1573
01:39:08,500 --> 01:39:11,600
your old lady and where you got
them.

1574
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:19,600
All right, I'm saying like you
say they're half first half,

1575
01:39:19,700 --> 01:39:24,300
you're probably looking at a
1714 ball game.

1576
01:39:24,900 --> 01:39:26,800
You know, I've been going to be
close to that point.

1577
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:29,100
I think, Liberty pulls away the
end.

1578
01:39:29,100 --> 01:39:34,800
I think Tempo gets to be a
little too much, just don't have

1579
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:39,500
enough Rush enough, pressure in
the backfield.

1580
01:39:39,500 --> 01:39:45,300
The force them to make decisions
too quickly and that they put a

1581
01:39:45,308 --> 01:39:48,100
couple on the board at the end
after they wanted out a little

1582
01:39:48,100 --> 01:39:51,200
bit.
I'm gonna go 31:17 with all

1583
01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:55,100
right and I did text in his he
is also going Liberty.

1584
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:59,900
And I think what we all see here
is he's going 27:16 and knowing

1585
01:39:59,900 --> 01:40:01,900
Brian, he's probably thinking
similar to us.

1586
01:40:02,300 --> 01:40:05,300
It's going to be a fight in then
and you mentioned it a couple

1587
01:40:05,300 --> 01:40:06,700
times.
Liberty's got some, the Liberty

1588
01:40:06,700 --> 01:40:08,800
has depth.
They have some players you can

1589
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:13,800
step in and so yeah.
All right, so one more thing and

1590
01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:17,200
we brought Robbie into doing a
big screener and Robbie, I'll

1591
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:20,500
let you lead the way cuz what
other than the tech gain.

1592
01:40:20,500 --> 01:40:22,200
What games will we be watching
this week?

1593
01:40:22,300 --> 01:40:27,000
When Robbie kind of your second
free weekend to watch football

1594
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:29,100
and not have to think about what
happened on Friday night.

1595
01:40:29,100 --> 01:40:31,700
What game are you watching and
why bother?

1596
01:40:32,100 --> 01:40:33,400
I think a lot of people are
gone.

1597
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:36,100
A lot of people that listen in
are going to be like what is he

1598
01:40:37,900 --> 01:40:41,200
might be my big game.
I want to see, I want to watch

1599
01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:45,800
Wisconsin and Nebraska and I
know both teams have been

1600
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:48,300
through their been through the
wringer.

1601
01:40:48,300 --> 01:40:51,200
This year.
Both looking already into works

1602
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:54,700
of finding the next head coach.
Coaches and all of those things,

1603
01:40:55,600 --> 01:41:01,400
but it's the thing that I like
to see of the coach, you got two

1604
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:04,300
teams, basically right now, they
got your back against the wall

1605
01:41:04,300 --> 01:41:07,800
and then we'll swing with
everything that and Nebraska has

1606
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:09,800
been doing it longer than
Wisconsin has.

1607
01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:14,600
We're trying to figure out
exactly, you know, whether the

1608
01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:17,100
guy that they have their the
interim right now is the guy

1609
01:41:17,100 --> 01:41:20,100
that they need to stay with,
they need to move around.

1610
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:24,700
And all of those guys that are
on both of those teams, have a

1611
01:41:24,700 --> 01:41:31,700
lot to fight for and they will
they get the respect and they're

1612
01:41:31,700 --> 01:41:34,400
going to fight through
everything and the fact that

1613
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:38,400
Nebraska is the 12 and a half
Point Underdog.

1614
01:41:39,300 --> 01:41:44,500
I guess it seems that really
hasn't you know, dominated

1615
01:41:44,500 --> 01:41:48,200
anybody at any point.
I I said I'll take Nebraska with

1616
01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:53,700
the 12 and a half. and, The big
thing is though, I think they're

1617
01:41:53,700 --> 01:41:58,700
going to stay under that 39.
There's going to be a big

1618
01:41:58,700 --> 01:42:07,400
scoring output by either side,
but while the line flavor but

1619
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:14,000
it's going to be a as ESPN
reporters would say.

1620
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:16,300
It's going to be a
slobberknocker, the flower,

1621
01:42:16,300 --> 01:42:17,600
they're going to go at each
other.

1622
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:23,100
You know, forehead down power
through everything they can and

1623
01:42:23,100 --> 01:42:25,000
you go see some good football
out of both of them.

1624
01:42:25,900 --> 01:42:28,200
All right.
I'm actually going to be in the

1625
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:31,700
Big Ten as well.
Completely different reason

1626
01:42:31,700 --> 01:42:34,100
though.
I'm taking I'm going to be

1627
01:42:34,100 --> 01:42:37,600
watching Iowa, Minnesota late in
the afternoon after the tech

1628
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:42,000
game because I actually want to
see an under 32 and a half.

1629
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:44,100
He's hit because I honest to
God.

1630
01:42:44,100 --> 01:42:50,800
I think it will because Iowa is
dread Offensive ly they actually

1631
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:54,000
make Tech and occasional good,
which is really bad.

1632
01:42:55,100 --> 01:42:57,700
But Minnesota is also really
good defensively.

1633
01:42:57,700 --> 01:42:59,800
And they're not the greatest
offensive output.

1634
01:42:59,900 --> 01:43:02,300
I honestly think they're.
I want to see if that game can

1635
01:43:02,300 --> 01:43:08,200
stay under 32 points and I think
also be a 13-game there.

1636
01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:12,700
You could be right there under.
What you can see is 1716 game

1637
01:43:13,100 --> 01:43:15,400
and make 33 points, and make a
whole lot of people Bank.

1638
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:29,200
Oh, buddy.
Matchup.

1639
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:31,000
So this is the Big Ten big
screener.

1640
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:35,400
The USC UCLA Battle of l.a.
UCLA.

1641
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:38,800
A one and a half Point, dog.
The over-under is 73 and a half.

1642
01:43:40,500 --> 01:43:45,900
Brian basically USC to winning
cover and he's going to take you

1643
01:43:45,900 --> 01:43:48,000
heard it.
I'm going to agree with him on

1644
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:51,200
that.
So on, you know, that's going to

1645
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:54,000
be a fun game.
What time is it game Saturday?

1646
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:58,100
If it's the ten o'clock game I
was mostly both of those teams

1647
01:43:58,100 --> 01:44:01,600
on the west coast has got to be
a nine eight nine, ten o'clock

1648
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:04,200
game.
Well ain't I can live with an

1649
01:44:04,200 --> 01:44:06,400
8:00 a.m.
I can live with a 10 o'clock

1650
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:08,200
game.
That's an 8:00 Cape.

1651
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:10,100
I might actually, why is it that
I can't do?

1652
01:44:10,500 --> 01:44:11,900
Yeah, I don't know if I can do
that.

1653
01:44:12,100 --> 01:44:14,700
I had to go home after school
today, take a nap so I could be

1654
01:44:14,700 --> 01:44:19,600
up this late.
Robbie, I'm going to say this

1655
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:21,700
man.
I really appreciate you taking

1656
01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:27,000
the time brother to look at this
tape to step in for us on a

1657
01:44:27,008 --> 01:44:32,900
tough week.
Goes when he told me his listen,

1658
01:44:32,900 --> 01:44:35,900
we are here we are.
Looking at wind to book you for

1659
01:44:35,900 --> 01:44:39,400
next year, at least twice.
Maybe three times.

1660
01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:43,000
Maybe I'll take a break and you
and you and Brian can enjoy.

1661
01:44:44,500 --> 01:44:47,500
Maybe.
I can go to Disney World kids.

1662
01:44:59,100 --> 01:45:02,000
Look at that, it'll scare you,
it'll scare you.

1663
01:45:02,100 --> 01:45:05,300
I'm not too worried about it,
don't have three kids, I know.

1664
01:45:05,300 --> 01:45:07,900
See what will happen is your
entire defensive unit want to

1665
01:45:07,900 --> 01:45:09,700
go.
And it'll take like 60 kids.

1666
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,600
Yeah yeah man.
Alrighty.
