This week we welcome on Hokies Sam linebacker Keonta Jenkins as we dive back into the Black Diamond Rivalry game and assess what went wrong against the Mountaineers on Thursday Night. We then shift gears to preview the Hokies Saturday afternoon matchup against North Carolina in what looks like a repeat of the 2016 hurricane soaked affair between these two ACC Coastal foes.

taking a few minutes out of your
hectic, schedule this week.
20
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:50,600
Obviously, little hate week.
It's Carolina week.
21
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,500
You guys are traveling Chapel
Hill.
22
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,100
We really appreciate you taking
time.
23
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,200
Obviously, we know between
school, practicing, all that you
24
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,100
are a busy guy.
Starting Sam linebacker for the
25
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:03,300
school.
We thank you for taking your
26
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:06,400
time to talk with us a little
bit tonight.
27
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:10,199
Yeah.
Yeah we're going to lead off
28
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:14,100
with this, you know, the big
thing coming into the seasons.
29
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:16,000
The big, the big position switch
for you, right?
30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,500
Moving from safety down to Sam
linebacker.
31
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,400
So your four games into the
position that you did really
32
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,000
think you be playing kind of
especially at the end of last
33
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,500
season coming at the start of
this season.
34
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:29,500
You know, but we've seen some
really good on feel results.
35
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:31,700
So far.
How do you feel the adjustment
36
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:33,200
to play in?
Sam is gone for you at this
37
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,000
point in the season, I think it
was a great opportunity for me.
38
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,100
I think it was probably one of
the best things I probably
39
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:42,100
happen for me to get on the
field and be able to make plays
40
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:45,600
and just build my resume with my
name.
41
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,000
The change was different, it was
very unexpected but I try to
42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
make an opportunity and just
take it head-on.
43
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:57,200
Absolutely and obviously you
know we were chit-chatting right
44
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,400
before Chianti jumped on here
and we were talking about that
45
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,100
hit it BC.
Well, you caught that guy about
46
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:05,100
seven yards behind the line of
scrimmage.
47
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,300
Him, Dom Brown was in the crowd
that night and I love what you
48
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:11,000
said.
You said, when you made that hit
49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,700
and you heard the crowd about
how electric it was, man, how
50
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,500
like they're very, let you.
But what are those feelings?
51
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,000
Like when you're in front of
main stadium and you make a big
52
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,600
play, you know, how does that
feel?
53
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:23,100
Does that does that take your
address?
54
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:27,600
To a level unseen.
Yeah, Jenna to be pumping.
55
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,700
You want to tear it down?
You make a big play in a bad
56
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:31,900
field.
Tackle for loss.
57
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,900
I mean the crowd going crazy,
players, going crazy, everybody
58
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:39,600
going crazy.
It just unreal moment.
59
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,400
A very unreal moment for me.
I saw that I love that.
60
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:48,900
It's all being in the crowd.
I mean, you just you heard the
61
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:53,800
like it was.
Yeah, we saw it coming to.
62
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,600
We saw it coming.
It was dead to rights before you
63
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,700
even got there.
So with the adjustments you know
64
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,300
is it has it been a lot like or
is it still that style of play?
65
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:08,500
You brought, you know, coming in
as a safety?
66
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:12,300
Is it still a lot of things you
can key on from plane safety?
67
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,300
With with other side, I tend to
take a lot of my attributes from
68
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:20,200
safety as in covering him
covering wise and just speed and
69
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,700
just being more athletic than
more Lyman, that I'd be have to
70
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:25,500
go against.
But the more challenging part of
71
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:30,100
be, just when I'm actually in a
box are just this seeing lime
72
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:32,300
and Senior Keys, a little fast,
I'm closer to the ball.
73
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:35,200
So things happen a little faster
but I definitely think the
74
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,500
transition from safety down till
I'm back.
75
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,200
Give me a most Advantage, most
advantage of a lot of teams, a
76
00:04:40,207 --> 00:04:44,000
lot of players because I have a
Very match speed.
77
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,900
When I'm either come across the
edge or even covering tight
78
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:48,500
ends, it seem more natural to
me.
79
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:52,500
Yeah, it's a new close to the
ball.
80
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:55,100
I mean I can definitely see you
making plays in the backfield a
81
00:04:55,108 --> 00:04:57,300
lot more tackles for loss.
So that I mean that's that's a
82
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:00,800
big asset for the team for sure
abso-freakin'-lutely.
83
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,100
And so far this year, I mean
we've talked about a couple
84
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:06,700
tight ends and I know against
BC, I mean, they're guy had a
85
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:10,300
big week 1 against Rutgers.
We didn't hear his name called
86
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:13,300
too much and I know, you know,
you were part of that which is
87
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:16,400
awesome to hear.
Let me go with this.
88
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,000
Let's talk about last Thursday
night, just a little bit, you
89
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,100
know, rough lost to us.
Virginia after that game, what
90
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:25,300
was coach prize matches to the
team, emotional loss?
91
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:29,000
You know at home rivalry game
you know what was his message to
92
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,900
you guys in the locker room
after that game?
93
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:36,400
I mean, the biggest, the biggest
part I got his message with just
94
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,600
sticking together playing
together.
95
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,300
Being one sale, just all believe
in and fighting all the way to
96
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:46,500
the end.
Just having a will to win coach
97
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:48,000
browser.
Very competitive coach.
98
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,800
He, he won't all his people to
be competitive, so just just to
99
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,800
compete all the way to the end.
Follow it to the end, and just
100
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,800
be more disciplined.
I think that was probably one of
101
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,900
the biggest things to being
disciplined.
102
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:05,100
Has the has the focus on the
competitiveness, you know.
103
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:09,400
It does that have anything to do
with some of the penalties that
104
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,000
we've come up with, is it just
like pressing or is it just
105
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,600
playing kind of outside of the
framework, trying to trying to
106
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,000
compete that every rep or is
just a combination of a lot of
107
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,800
different things?
I think it just competitiveness
108
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,300
in the motion competitiveness,
and emotion, take over and big
109
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:29,500
gains.
And sometimes people rely more
110
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:32,700
on these skills and technique,
but coach by always close your
111
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:33,900
eyes.
A bit fundamental guy.
112
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,900
He preached the technique just
doing the fundamentals and just
113
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:40,200
playing within the framework.
And I think, once we get that
114
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,100
down and once we all become
together and show how poisonous
115
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:47,500
is and how it changed the game
will be a very more productive.
116
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:52,700
I like that.
Yeah, and speaking of those
117
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:56,500
penalties you know been hit hard
by both of those in both of the
118
00:06:56,500 --> 00:06:58,000
losses at this point in the
season.
119
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:01,000
Has that been a point of
emphasis during those Sunday
120
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
correction practices that you
guys have been having and how
121
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,200
those practices helped in
preparing for the next week's
122
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,600
opponent.
It Dyna correction print, a
123
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:15,500
correction practice on Sunday as
being a very, very emphasized on
124
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:17,700
penalties.
And how much if we just take the
125
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:21,100
pennies away and make them earn
everything, how much the results
126
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:23,200
of change?
So coach, probably definitely
127
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,500
preaches, making them learn and
not giving it to.
128
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:29,100
So, we doing that.
I think that cat is all came up
129
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:33,400
with a plan to help everybody.
Just notice how important a pill
130
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,900
and he's a high point, a change,
the game's definitely a bit Time
131
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:39,500
moments later on 4th are late
Downs on fourth down that they
132
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:42,800
can change.
It and I tell you what it is, it
133
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,700
is showing with this defense.
When you guys are forcing teams
134
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:49,900
to drive the fields, they make
mistakes, you know, we saw the
135
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:53,600
fumble against West Virginia,
we've seen the pics, we've seen
136
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,200
the big tackles for loss.
We've seen them in bad down and
137
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,700
distances.
So I love that emphasis and I
138
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:02,700
love that I can hear it in your
voice like you know, like we
139
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:04,000
clean this up.
Yeah.
140
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,800
There's not a lot of teams that
are going to consistently move
141
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,900
the ball on us.
They're going to make mistakes.
142
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:10,500
They're gonna take big.
Glosses.
143
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:13,200
And it's awesome to hear that.
And it's awesome to hear that.
144
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,400
It sounds like there's things in
place that, you know, that you
145
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,500
guys are working towards to
clean it up.
146
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,100
Yes, let's flip over.
Let's talk about some of your
147
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:27,300
coaches here.
So, your coach is your coach
148
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,600
position coaches Coach Quin.
One of the new coaches here, but
149
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,000
obviously, that's a position.
We know it's working some with
150
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,799
the defensive backs and Coach
Priscilla.
151
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,799
We know it's working with Coach
Marv with the mic in the way.
152
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:45,500
What is that Dynamic like
between, you know, those three
153
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:49,800
coaches since you probably get
to see them more on a daily
154
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,400
basis than other groups.
I think just being coached by
155
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,000
all three of them.
Just give me a vintage advantage
156
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,300
in the learning process because
I'm getting insane coaching with
157
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:02,300
Coach Quin.
Coach Quin is a very detailed
158
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:04,900
coach with detail.
And there goes, mark this
159
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:08,300
energetic and just playing
playing behind the line of
160
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:10,300
scrimmage and being a force and
being the hammer.
161
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,200
Then you got Coach P with just
how he coaches his easy to
162
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,300
understand.
So I me, I'll watch film with
163
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:19,400
the safety's, a large, and I
watch film with the line because
164
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,500
I like getting feedback from
everyone just improve my game.
165
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
So I definitely go to all three
coaches for help with anything
166
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,100
that I need and they all give it
to me.
167
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,100
I absolutely loved it.
That Chris Mark talks about
168
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:36,600
bringing the hammer down.
And I mean, coach Prelude, I
169
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,600
mean, you know, he is one of the
EOS one of The Originals back
170
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,300
when we, we told you, we told
you we'd like, 95 was like our
171
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:45,400
first year coach Prelude on
those teams.
172
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,200
And then, you know, a guy, how
is he looked at?
173
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,800
Because you guys are of the age
coach Prelude, when you were
174
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,200
younger was still in the league,
he's got that ring with the st.
175
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,200
We're like.
Is he one of those guys when he
176
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,800
speaks is it kind of, like, do
does everybody's head turned in
177
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,700
the room because of who he is,
you know, as an originator of DB
178
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:11,800
you and then all that time
league and now he's back
179
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,800
coaching at his alma mater.
Coach the Coach P.
180
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,600
Got one of the voices when he
when he told everybody just
181
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,300
listens, it will just listens
and he witnessed his parents had
182
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:24,200
a lead.
He know what it takes to be
183
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,800
great.
He played here, he played on
184
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,000
championship teams, he played on
very good teams so he know what
185
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,200
it takes to be great and to get
the v t, as a hold of e.t.
186
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,000
Defense to where they need to be
to win games.
187
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,100
So, we take all our details and
all the information they give
188
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:40,100
us, we take it in and put it on
the field, man.
189
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:43,300
That is that is awesome.
I mean, it's awesome because you
190
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:45,300
just feel that Which coach for a
loop.
191
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:48,300
Let's talk a little bit about
Coach point because, you know,
192
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:52,900
obviously he is your specific
position coach, is he is genuine
193
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:54,700
behind the scenes.
Is it seen publicly?
194
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:58,300
I mean we always see him out
there, you know, breaking bread
195
00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:02,300
hokey style, the man is finding,
you know, the diner's, he is the
196
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:05,600
Diners Drive-Ins and Dives king
of Virginia Tech Twitter because
197
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:08,900
he's asked any he's being
genuine.
198
00:11:08,900 --> 00:11:11,400
He's asked us fans like, you
know, I'm in Richmond today.
199
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,700
What's a good spot?
What's a good?
200
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:14,000
Local spot.
I can try.
201
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,800
Is he like that behind the
scenes and, you know, yeah, I
202
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,500
think coach clear, probably one
of the coaches who he, who, he,
203
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:24,200
who he is every day, he the same
guy every day.
204
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,100
I mean and then we'll definitely
with the.
205
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:28,100
He inspires.
I'm a type of person.
206
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:29,600
I don't eat.
I don't eat out a lot.
207
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,000
I don't try different.
He always try to introduce me to
208
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
new things to eat or hanging
out, just to get me to be just
209
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,300
more like, just those floor,
more be more social.
210
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:43,000
So, yeah, he wanted a, if I come
in, if I come to practice with a
211
00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:46,400
down, I had, A bad as him, you
know, how to uplift.
212
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,500
You always did smiling it, you
have a joke for you too.
213
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,700
So it's good.
How coach going around that fly
214
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:54,800
high energy and positive energy.
That's awesome.
215
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,700
Yeah, it's good to have guys
that you know, that, you know,
216
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,500
if things are going are too
high, too low.
217
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:02,300
They're always going to be the
same thing to you.
218
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:05,100
They going, they're going to do
with give you what you need to
219
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,700
get you, right.
Whether that's bring you down a
220
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:10,100
little bit of lift you up a
little bit, so it's always good
221
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:12,000
to have that type of presence on
the team for sure.
222
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,800
Let's let's pivot a little a bit
to what we're going to look at
223
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:21,900
this week with, with UNC.
Obviously, the big big talk
224
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:24,300
right now is everything
happening on with the weather.
225
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,000
We're looking at potential
hurricane game part two with,
226
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,900
with UNC down in Chapel Hill has
as coach Pride coach Mark Coach
227
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:38,000
Quin Coach P low have they
talked about potential weather
228
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,500
conditions on Saturday and how
that can potentially affect the
229
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:44,600
preparation for y'all.
That's we, as of I haven't
230
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:47,900
haven't talked about it a lot a
lot, but I know that it's being
231
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:51,800
brought up.
We have like different, like
232
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:54,400
different.
I want to see things that will
233
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,700
go to if it become a hurricane
game with different strategy
234
00:12:57,700 --> 00:12:59,700
with different scheme.
Different things that we bet
235
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:02,400
that we've seen from in the past
would have passed them to think
236
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,200
they like to go to it.
Just how comfortable they'll be
237
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,300
what this weather condition but
coach prize one of them guys.
238
00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:08,800
You did.
He.
239
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,200
This is this is like what he'd
like he want us to be in the
240
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,900
trenches.
He want us to be the worst.
241
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,500
The worst, they can be just to
go ahead and perform, so I'm
242
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:22,900
pretty sure he excited.
If it was a hurricane, I played
243
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:27,100
in one of those type of games
before and it's intense, but you
244
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:30,700
gotta win in the trenches.
And that's the big thing that if
245
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:32,400
you're not winning in the
trenches, it's going to be a
246
00:13:32,408 --> 00:13:35,900
long, long day.
Well, I'm sitting here thinking,
247
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:38,500
right now, the way key, I'm just
describing coach Frey, like,
248
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:40,900
coach prize, probably at The
Weather Channel tonight.
249
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Yeah.
Yeah, 3:30.
250
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:47,100
It's going to be pouring down
rain and 15 mile an hour.
251
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:50,400
Winds.
Yes, one inch of rain between 11
252
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:56,200
a.m. and 7 p.m. bring it on.
Thanks coach frightened that
253
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,100
Flint to hear, man.
Let me guess this about about
254
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:06,300
you and see is there, is there a
specific component of their
255
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,700
offense?
That has kind of been an
256
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,700
emphasis for you in the
preparation so far this week?
257
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:14,900
Biz mainly stopping the Run game
stopped on the ranking.
258
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:17,600
They got a nice quarterback,
nice town in the quarterback so
259
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,400
just making him uncomfortable,
trying to get some as much as
260
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,100
you can but just as of right
now, just stopping the ranking.
261
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:27,500
Yeah.
And that's going to be key with
262
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:30,400
that weather for sure.
Absolutely.
263
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:33,300
Alright.
Before we before we let you out
264
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:37,400
of here, get you some rest.
You've kind of already said it
265
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,000
you not a big going out to eat
guy but obviously you've been in
266
00:14:40,008 --> 00:14:43,900
Blacksburg since 2020.
You know, this is now your third
267
00:14:43,900 --> 00:14:46,300
year.
There what is sort of your food
268
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:51,100
spot to go to in Blacksburg?
I me as a recently.
269
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:54,100
I've been trying to the space
right there by Waffle House.
270
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,400
It's called black so black,
okay.
271
00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:01,200
Okay, yeah, black wings are so
big.
272
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,400
How sweet chili.
I think, since we typically
273
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:09,200
know, my favorite thing, double
back in the same day, a man
274
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,600
after my own heart, we got a
local spot that does some sweet
275
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,000
chili Wings, pretty good here.
So, we were right on the same.
276
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,400
Wavelength are like Sophia for
those who are watching in the
277
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,900
Blacksburg area.
Y'all need to go buy black salt,
278
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:24,600
tell them Kiante Jenkins should
be getting a sponsor.
279
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,600
And then I'll deal to talk about
the sweet chili Wings, babe.
280
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,000

luck on Saturday.
284
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:46,700

I think we're probably me and
285
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:49,000
Brian we're talking we're pretty
determined that it's probably
286
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
going to be rainy so we're not
going to get much done.
287
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,500
So we're going to be sitting in
Iron man, caves screaming Arlo
288
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:57,700

two guys that just started a fun
podcast in February at 2020.
311
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:13,000
I don't think.
I think Wildest Dreams Braun,
312
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,200
you know.
We've got an interview to White
313
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,400

interviewing something like when
314
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,200
like kyanka, who clearly on this
team this year is making an
315
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,500
impact.
It's Sam big-time rising star on

00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:27,500
the team for sure big-time
Rising Star.
317
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,200
Absolutely.

And we've got to recap it
319
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,400
unfortunately, you know, Kiante
just talked about it.
320
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,100
There about Coach prize, message
about being disciplined about
321
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:42,800
sticking together throughout it.
But we do need to take a look
322
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,000
back at Virginia and you know,
talk about a few things.
323
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,500
Obviously, everybody watch
Thursday night hook.
324
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:53,800
He's go down 3310 to The
Mountaineers in the Black
325
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,300
Diamond trophy game Hokies go to
2 and 2.
326
00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:00,400
And you know what we've been
doing normally is we've been
327
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,600
kind of looking offense defense
but now we're four games in,
328
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600
right?
Brian and you were having a
329
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:12,200
conversation on Friday You know.
What can be fixed, what can't be
330
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,700
fixed?
What's going well, and what's
331
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,000
kind of still that TBD Dairy.
So that's how we're going to
332
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,400
kind of dress it tonight.
And, and I love that Keon.
333
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,100
So, kind of already talked about
it as we led, the episode talked
334
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:25,200
about being disciplined, talked
about them working on the
335
00:18:25,208 --> 00:18:28,200
penalties, because that is
probably one of the biggest
336
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,800
things that we've already seen
it fixed once.
337
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,600
But now, can they get back in
one more time and get it
338
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,000
corrected and keep it correct.
What do you think Ron?
339
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:38,900
Yeah, I think it's the
consistency with it and I like
340
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:41,600
that.
I know he alluded to it with
341
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,300
the, with the question.
There we saw it come down with
342
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:46,400
the, with the interview with
prior today.
343
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:51,100
Captains have instituted, you
know, some some sort of
344
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:57,500
Correction punishment should
penalties like this continue.
345
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:01,100
I think that, you know, having
that incentive, I think that's a
346
00:19:01,108 --> 00:19:02,500
good incentive to have for the
team.
347
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:06,200
It makes them accountable for,
for what they do on the field.
348
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:09,200
And, you know, again, it's a
correctable thing.
349
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:14,400
We've Got we got a lot of
penalties that lengthened drives
350
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:22,900
into drives, you know, another
15 for 132 total you like to cut
351
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:24,900
both of those numbers at least
in half.
352
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,400
Yes, at least in half at least
in half.
353
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,600
So you know if we were in that
six to seven for 460 65, you
354
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,100
know, I wouldn't have as much to
complain about.
355
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:40,800
But you know, when you get kind
of in that 10 to 15 range.
356
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,100
That's when it's like, all
right, some of these are are
357
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:47,300
ones that we shouldn't be
committing and it hurts even
358
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:50,200
more when you have ones that
are, you know, those, those
359
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,100
Drive killers in those Drive
extenders.
360
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:54,700
Those are the ones that take
points off the board, put points
361
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:57,400
on the board for the other team.
Absolutely I want to give a
362
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,200
shout out here.
David Cunningham put a really
363
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,300
good tweet at the end of that
game, talking about penalties.
364
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,200
And you know the pi pass is.
I think the aggressiveness of
365
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,400
the defense we're just going to
see more and I read We'll do it.
366
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,400
Put up one of the posters on TS
L said, you know, we're already
367
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:16,000
at the number of pi penalties of
where we were last year.
368
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:19,500
But the god honest truth is our,
our pest defense is a hell of a
369
00:20:19,508 --> 00:20:21,600
lot better than it was last year
already.
370
00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:25,500
So are you okay, you know, can
you live with extra penalties?
371
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,300
If overall the defense is
better?
372
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:31,700
I think we absolutely can, but
it's the other shit that kind of
373
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:33,700
drives us crazy.
Indefinitely rise.
374
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:38,000
Brian crazy, two false starts
and illegal substitution in the
375
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,900
legal snap and offside.
There will be a delay of game
376
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:44,200
penalty.
Those are the ones that just
377
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:46,200
their nicking you.
Well, that's up here.
378
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,900
Yeah, it's up here.
Yeah, there you go.
379
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:51,900
It's one thing to be in the
moment and make a mistake.
380
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:57,900
It's another thing to make a
mental error and especially when
381
00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:01,000
you making those mental errors
in your own stadium, you know,
382
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,300
it's not you're not affected by
the crowd noise.
383
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:09,200
You're not affected by, you
know, these ancillary factors of
384
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,200
the game, you're affected by
your mental state.
385
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,400
You got to make sure that you're
playing smart and I think we
386
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,500
need to see a little bit more of
that.
387
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:22,500
And I think the accountability
is going to help on that front
388
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:25,600
because now you're just your
teammate.
389
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,100
Accountability is important.
But teammate.
390
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:30,700
Accountability that has, you
know, something behind it.
391
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:36,100
I think you know is only going
to reinforce that but it's also
392
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:40,500
good to know that coach pry not
stuck in his ways right because
393
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:42,400
clearly they have there had been
things done.
394
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:46,000
Prior to attempt to fix the
penalties and he's not going
395
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,400
back to the well, one more time.
He's immediately saying, okay,
396
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,100
we need to make a change for it
because, you know, it's, it's
397
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:54,700
linked, it's reared, its head
again.
398
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,500
So clearly what he said were two
data points is enough.
399
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,200
Yeah I don't I don't need any
more data points to say that we
400
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,400
need to address this differently
so you got to respect him.
401
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,800
Not just sitting back and
saying, we do what we do.
402
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:14,300
You know if things become a
Bigger problem than he he sees,
403
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:18,400
or than they should be.
Then they are addressed, you
404
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,000
know, whether whether this turns
out in helps on the field, but
405
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,300
at least, you know, you're not
just saying our, we're going to
406
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:25,800
do what we do.
This is what we do.
407
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:28,200
Yeah, keep it moving, keep it
moving.
408
00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:31,800
Now, we are going to kind of go
a little bit towards the game
409
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,800
itself, those rest for fucking
horrible.
410
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:38,200
And if you only want to get
Brian hot asking about hands to
411
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,300
the face, the one that they got
Pollard on Brian's texted me.
412
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,300
Fucking bullshit.
They've done it to us at least
413
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:47,900
four times.
If you're going to call it,
414
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,000
throw it both ways because it's
clearly there in front of you
415
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:53,300
for them.
That was my probably I'll be
416
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,500
look at the replay.
It's obvious foul on Pollard.
417
00:22:55,500 --> 00:23:00,300
I mean, it is what it is.
But, yeah, I mean between that,
418
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:05,600
and Milam holding, every time
they went to the perimeter,
419
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,400
like, every time, like blatant
holding, every time they ran ran
420
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,800
the ball to the perimeter.
Like, You know, flags are flags,
421
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,600
mistakes are mistakes, but call
it both ways, call it both ways,
422
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:22,400
and then don't call bullshit.
Because that personal foul
423
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,200
roughing the QB on Dax, it was
bullshit Daniel's in his motion
424
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,500
to throw Dax did nothing but
shove he didn't drive him to the
425
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:34,000
ground, he didn't follow with
him.
426
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:37,800
It was simply, he was doing
exactly what you're taught to do
427
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:40,500
drive.
He didn't do anything illegal.
428
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:44,200
He didn't do anything dangerous.
But it seemed like on fourth
429
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,100
down.
That was the time that there's a
430
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:48,400
flag.
It wasn't in even though I think
431
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,800
at that point in time was a
six-point game, they would go
432
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,500
score the touchdown and turn it
to 13.
433
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:57,700
It was a momentum swinging flag.
Do I think we could have drove
434
00:23:57,700 --> 00:23:58,900
the film potentially taking the
lead?
435
00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:01,700
Probably not offense.
Did not look good on Thursday
436
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:04,800
night, especially in the second
half, especially in the second
437
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,300
half.
I mean, at least the first half,
438
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:08,300
we had some moves.
We had some chances the second
439
00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:10,700
half just look Dreadful.
The second half.
440
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:12,200
We had scoring opportunity.
I'm sorry.
441
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:14,000
The first half, we had scored
opportunities.
442
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,900
We put 10 on the board in the
second half.
443
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,900
Yeah yeah.
So you know I just don't like
444
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:25,900
that like because you're
essentially taking every
445
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:30,000
opportunity the defense has a
way because that being a penalty
446
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,200
basically makes every
quarterback just say well I'm
447
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,700
going to throw it because if
he's going to throw the flag
448
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,600
whether I complete the pass or
not we're going to get a first
449
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,700
down so yeah.
All right, let's go to something
450
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:43,800
else and it's actually I love to
have any countdown because some
451
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,400
of the points were talking about
it sounds like Daria.
452
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,600
Dressing and it's talking about
the pressing of the players and
453
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,800
one of our good buddies, JJ
Singleton chat with them all the
454
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,600
time, put a little something out
there.
455
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:57,000
Brian, you sort of echo to in
it.
456
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Basically, when he says, when he
says price saying, the that the
457
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,400
players start pressing, he's
basically saying the players are
458
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,500
realizing that individually.
They're outmatched.
459
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:11,500
And when they quit working
together, what was Chianti?
460
00:25:11,500 --> 00:25:13,900
Talking about staying together
working as a team.
461
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,300
That's when the game playing
crumbles.
462
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:25,700
And, you know, the question is,
we saw it in b.c. you are alive
463
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:27,800
at hand.
I watch every snap at the game
464
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,000
here at the house against BC,
they didn't press against BC.
465
00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:36,700
They just let that game come to
them and to this point
466
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,600
definitely the best both sides
of the ball is played.
467
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,800
Yeah, I mean, you thought you
talked to Big about trusting
468
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,700
your Technique leaning on your
Technique instead of you know,
469
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,400
pressing too hard to make a play
if you lean on your Technique,
470
00:25:52,900 --> 00:25:55,400
And you're playing within the
system, you're going to put
471
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,000
yourself in a position to make a
play.
472
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:04,900
You don't need to kind of play
with outside that framework and
473
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,500
yeah, you might, you might get
one play where you blow
474
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:09,300
something up.
But if you keep doing that
475
00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:12,800
consistently, you're going to,
you know, make a stupid penalty
476
00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:16,200
or be out of position because,
you know, you trust your
477
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,100
instincts too much.
Instead of what the what the
478
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:19,700
offense was telling me where the
play is going.
479
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,200
You know, there are a lot of
things there, where, you know,
480
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,200
little things that one or two
players are doing a few plays
481
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,200
here there, and all of a sudden,
You know it's not quite going
482
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,400
the way you want to and you
couple that with with how much
483
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,100
the defense was on the field in
the second half and that's
484
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:39,500
that's kind of why you saw, you
know, a tight game, balloon kind
485
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:42,000
of late as we're going down the
stretch there.
486
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,100
Yeah, absolutely.
And you know, we were struggling
487
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:49,200
on the interior defensive line,
anyway.
488
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,800
So I think to your point when
those guys were trying to press
489
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:55,400
slightly getting out of
position, you play the offensive
490
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,500
line, I'm sure they were.
When you saw an interior
491
00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:00,300
defensive lineman, get out of
position, it was you looked your
492
00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:03,300
chops like well, now I can
easily drive you off your spot
493
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,200
and we're going to be at open
lanes, up, or sometimes run
494
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,800
themselves out of the play where
I get it, I get an extra block.
495
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,500
Now, I've got now down extra man
is blocked because somebody ran
496
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:14,100
themselves out of the play.
Gonna be a hero.
497
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,100
Yep.
So again, I think we've seen
498
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:20,000
quickly already with the
penalties.
499
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,600
Kind of like the pressing.
We kind of, we saw the team
500
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,300
press, two games.
We've seen the team kind of not
501
00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:28,000
press for two games and the
results are, you know, the
502
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
proofs in the pudding.
Let's flip over this because
503
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,500
this is something, you know, pry
seems like one of those guys he
504
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:39,000
is very self-aware and we've
talked about game management,
505
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:42,200
you know, one of the big things
he did.
506
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,700
He said, It straight out.
He did not call a good
507
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:49,600
two-minute situation at the end
of the first half.
508
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,800
He said in and I got from that
was him making the decisions of
509
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,500
they were playing the out of
bounds ball, not using the
510
00:27:58,508 --> 00:28:00,700
middle of the field.
Potential using timeouts, drain
511
00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:03,800
the clock a little bit more.
I see him saying about that.
512
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,000
Also, CM saying how he actually
called defensively, so you know
513
00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:14,000
somebody who's already kind of,
it's the old, you know, if you
514
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,900
know yourself, you can conquer
the world.
515
00:28:15,900 --> 00:28:18,600
It seems like he knows himself.
He's already known where his
516
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,500
errors are.
Let's see.
517
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,600
That's fixed, especially in
those two minute drills and
518
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,300
crucial where he's got to make
decisions.
519
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:29,500
Not only calling the plays, but,
you know, how we attack at the
520
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,600
end of the half here.
Yeah.
521
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:37,700
And you know, I didn't mind
being aggressive with the pass
522
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,700
on some of those down, but as we
said, as we were getting further
523
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:46,500
into that drive and as we got to
third down, let's get ones that
524
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:49,400
are definitely completions.
So even if we don't get the
525
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,200
first down and convert it, you
know the clock runs, we get more
526
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,100
time off of it before we punt
down and give Less West Virginia
527
00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:00,600
less time to have another drive
and get some more points before
528
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,100
half.
In the same goes in the other
529
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:06,000
direction because obviously
there was a couple big plays
530
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,600
there that kind of got them in
the position where they could
531
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,700
score.
So, you know, I like owning it,
532
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:15,900
I like saying, hey, we can still
get better, you know, the staff
533
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:18,900
can still get better, it's still
a work-in-progress everybody
534
00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:23,400
still working to try to get this
thing into a well-oiled machine
535
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,500
and it's not there yet.
We saw that against West
536
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:27,700
Virginia.
I think we have seen that in the
537
00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:30,800
first four games altogether
where where BC is probably the
538
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,900
best.
A three-phase.
539
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,400
Yeah, yeah, plus coaching effort
that we've seen so far, the
540
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,000
other three games.
There are a lot to, to work on
541
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:45,100
and I think, recognizing that
and putting things in place that
542
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:47,700
can help with that or a good
sign of where we're heading.
543
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:50,000
But we got it, we got to start
seeing some of the results to,
544
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,400
right.
Absolutely, we've got to see the
545
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:58,500
results there and I will say one
thing and I don't know how it
546
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,300
didn't.
Get reviewed the pump by Peter
547
00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:03,300
Moore.
Near the end of the first half,
548
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,500
they gave it a Touchback.
I think that needed to be looked
549
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:09,400
at because that ball looked like
it went out about the two inch
550
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,300
line.
It wasn't challenged.
551
00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:13,700
I don't know how that, you know,
I feel like the college, you can
552
00:30:13,708 --> 00:30:16,300
challenge anything every place.
Look at but.
553
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:19,200
Well I mean that that was a
change of possession so it
554
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,800
should have been automatically
reviewed by the booth.
555
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,600
Yeah, but it was no, it's what I
don't like some time out, TV
556
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,900
Productions because you looked
at when I looked at that play it
557
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:29,900
was like I don't know if you
felt like I did.
558
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:32,300
I saw him like holy crap.
He just I'm down at the inch
559
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:35,600
line like and they were running
the ball good.
560
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,900
But when that but we had got
them a couple times in the
561
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:43,100
backfield and it's like is this
a momentum changer where we get
562
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:46,000
aggressive?
Someone blows up the play, but
563
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:48,700
they never showed anything.
We never saw that.
564
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:51,500
It wasn't that classic one that
you see where it actually hits
565
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:54,200
the fucking pile on.
Like usually that oh that's
566
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,600
black and white.
You know, this this was
567
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,700
something that from the angle
and the production that we had
568
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:03,400
it look very Very close.
Like it went out, just short of
569
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,100
the goal line, but actually will
never know.
570
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:10,300
You know, we'll never know TV
producers, don't show us a
571
00:31:10,308 --> 00:31:12,800
couple of the other things.
And I think, we talked about
572
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,700
that game management and I think
he may have kind of showed his
573
00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:18,200
cards a little bit when we went
for it on fourth.
574
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,200
And one he says, this is a team
that has to get those 14 ones.
575
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:25,400
This is a team that, you know,
when it's when we're when we get
576
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,700
down inside the 30.
I think if it's 4th and 1, I
577
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:29,800
think we're going to we're going
to be going forward a lot this
578
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,000
weekend.
I think he I think he's already
579
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,800
come to the realization.
We are struggling to move the
580
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,600
ball and to get point.
So when you get down there, why
581
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,700
not maximize your opportunity,
right?
582
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:45,800
Yeah, we're struggling with
consistency in the passing game
583
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,200
and we're struggling with just
putting all the pieces together
584
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,900
in the running game where we can
consistently get yards when we
585
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:56,500
need them.
You know, right now we're just
586
00:31:56,500 --> 00:32:01,700
not moving enough bodies in the
with the The offensive line for
587
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:05,500
that, run game to be consistent.
You know, we've seen stretches
588
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:08,200
where we have some big plays,
some well block plays, but we
589
00:32:08,208 --> 00:32:12,200
haven't seen it consistently
enough where you can lean on
590
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,400
that game.
But for an offense that's
591
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,100
operating.
The way our is is if we don't
592
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:20,900
have an effective running game,
it's hard to work.
593
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,900
Yeah.
A third of your offense.
594
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,200
I mean, when you're talking
about rpos, when you're talking
595
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,300
about play-action, none of that
works.
596
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:30,500
If you don't have a running
game.
597
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:36,300
That is threatening the defense
100% sort of the last thing.
598
00:32:36,300 --> 00:32:38,900
In this, I put it under game
management because essentially
599
00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:42,700
it's coaching and something
we've already seen coach
600
00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:44,200
admitted.
This was not a good tackling
601
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,300
game, I will say it was the
worst of the year.
602
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:50,600
It definitely ranks a hell of a
lot higher than the last two
603
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,100
years but he immediately address
I mean no for real.
604
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:56,800
Like yeah this was the worst
tackling and we had all year and
605
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:59,700
it was still not if this is a
tackling game from last year
606
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:02,800
would have been upper Third.
But this year, it's in the
607
00:33:02,808 --> 00:33:06,600
bottom this year, it's in the at
the very bottom so that that
608
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,200
tells you the the progress that
we made and then the progress
609
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,900
that we still have have to make
right again.
610
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:14,800
But again, it's he addressing
it.
611
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,900
And immediately I mean if we
probably have key on te for five
612
00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:24,200
to ten more minutes, I'm, you
know, again, we were we were
613
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,800
blessed to have him on and, you
know, we probably get to talk to
614
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,300
him for 45 minutes but we're not
done.
615
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:30,600
We're going to ask some good
questions.
616
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,800
Let him go about his day.
It probably would have got into
617
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:36,800
where the tackling drills,
although more intense this week
618
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,800
because from that presser
Saturday night, yeah, Saturday
619
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,900
night, Saturday night or
Thursday night, excuse me.
620
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,500
I have a feeling that they were
working a little bit harder and
621
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:51,600
I'm tackling drills this week to
get back to the technique.
622
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,700
We saw games 1, through 3, Yeah,
and most of it I think was
623
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:59,800
pressing was dive and we had
kind of early on there.
624
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:07,300
The one where you know Armani
just didn't break down, did make
625
00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:10,800
the play result in the first
down that led to a long drive
626
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,300
where it could have been getting
off the field with West
627
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:16,600
Virginia.
Backed up deep in their own
628
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,300
territory.
So, you know, it's the little
629
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:21,500
things that kind of add up to
the big things.
630
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:26,400
And I think if we Clean up
those, those little things.
631
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,500
And again, lean on our technique
like, like, he on, Tim was
632
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:32,900
talking about like, Coach Brown
talks about, we're going to see
633
00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:36,900
some improvement on that front.
Abso-freakin'-lutely gonna give
634
00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:39,800
a couple shout outs here.
We got Jerry won't shout out.
635
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,600
Jerry watching us tonight.
Shallot Levar shout-out, Low
636
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,199
Country.
Living got two of them on
637
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:48,300
YouTube, on on Facebook.
We appreciate you guys joining
638
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:51,400
us tonight.
All right, they was your things
639
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,900
that are bad that we feel like
can get fixed now.
640
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,100
I'll say this, we did do the old
with what's bad.
641
00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:59,900
That's going to be really tough
to be fixed this year and I
642
00:34:59,908 --> 00:35:04,200
think it kind of showed out on
Thursday night in.
643
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,200
That is the size of our interior
defensive line, not necessarily
644
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,600
the players but the simple sighs
Josh bougas, the heaviest guide
645
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,000
about 305 then.
It's Kendricks and then, you
646
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,500
know, Pollard and Pinette as
good as they are, they're going
647
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:24,000
to 80 to 85 their undersized
defensive interior.
648
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:27,800
Offensive lineman, but Brian me
and you've kind of been just
649
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,900
kind of going through the
schedule and there's only a
650
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:33,700
handful more teams that are
going to run the power to run,
651
00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:36,600
power plays or as big as West
Virginia are the rest of the
652
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,700
year.
So it's something we can't fix.
653
00:35:38,700 --> 00:35:43,200
But it's not like we're playing
a bunch of Wisconsin's for
654
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:49,000
Iowa's between now and November.
Yeah I think we have maybe one
655
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,000
or two offensive lines on the
schedule that can move bodies
656
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:58,100
like what we saw.
All West Virginia do so size
657
00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:03,800
becomes less of a problem.
You know when we look at the
658
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,500
things that are going to be
struggle to get fixed.
659
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:09,100
Obviously you can't all of a
sudden put 10 15 pounds on a
660
00:36:09,107 --> 00:36:13,300
defensive lineman right now.
I don't see the Run blocking
661
00:36:13,300 --> 00:36:16,500
getting significantly better
within this offense.
662
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:20,300
What I do see and what I think
will happen is I think that
663
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:24,500
we'll see scheme changes in
different approaches to how we
664
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:28,600
attack teams with our running
game because we're going to
665
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,800
still have to be effective
somewhat in the running game in
666
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,700
order to have success in this
offense.
667
00:36:34,300 --> 00:36:38,600
So if if running up the middle
isn't working, if that duo in
668
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,800
the in the power isn't working.
We're going to have to attack
669
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,600
the perimeter with some more
that pin and pull that we saw
670
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,400
have some success against Boston
College and some other things
671
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,200
that this offense can do.
So Yeah, I think looking at the
672
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,000
tape that's the thing that we
would have to do first is start
673
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,500
working attacking the perimeter,
with the running game, a little
674
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:03,200
bit more, and hopefully that can
give us a little bit of
675
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,900
breathing room where we don't
have to move as many bodies
676
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:09,000
inside The Tackle Box.
Because right now that's what
677
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,400
we're struggling with the most
is getting guys out of gaps.
678
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:14,500
You know the holes are too small
and the ones that are there.
679
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:18,100
Sometimes we're one or two
assignments away from, you know
680
00:37:18,107 --> 00:37:20,400
that play working.
Let's see if we can spread
681
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,700
things out a little bit.
It test them on the edges, a
682
00:37:22,707 --> 00:37:26,400
little more and and get some
guys blocking in space instead
683
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:31,700
of inside a phone booth.
Absolutely into your point.
684
00:37:31,700 --> 00:37:36,400
You kind of mentioned to me
Friday when we talk, it's really
685
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,100
tough to change.
Philosophical philosophically a
686
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:42,700
run game.
And so I think specially going,
687
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,000
especially going from a Zone, a
true Zone, okay, why do you
688
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,900
spread you out and to where now
you've got to move bodies out of
689
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:52,100
gaps.
You know you're blocking down.
690
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:54,200
You're using leverage that
you're using power.
691
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,900
It's a different skill set.
Some guys have both some guys,
692
00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:02,600
don't Um, and some guys take
longer to develop it as they
693
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,300
practice it.
So, you know it's going to be a
694
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:06,300
work in progress.
They might be a work in progress
695
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:08,200
that never fool gets finished
the season.
696
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:10,900
Yep.
Absolutely.
697
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:14,100
Absolutely.
Alright, couple other things,
698
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:17,300
you know, the the quarterback
talk of course is going to be on
699
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:21,900
fire as soon as that game ended
with some of the overthrows and
700
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,800
Miss throws.
But I think me and your kind of
701
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:31,200
to the point of You know when
things aren't going well, you
702
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,600
know, regardless of the game
that we're just going to live
703
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,100
with Grant Wells in the risks,
he takes and some of the stuff
704
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:45,600
he does because it's it's not
like that go does Jason Brown
705
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,300
potentially give you a better
chance to win.
706
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:50,700
Maybe maybe he does but then
we're going back to something.
707
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:54,100
Everybody's been pissed off when
since 2018 there's been
708
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:56,300
absolutely no consistent, the
quarterback position for the
709
00:38:56,308 --> 00:38:57,600
Hokies.
Yeah.
710
00:38:57,900 --> 00:39:00,200
Right.
So absolutely.
711
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,000
And what do you all talk about
Jason Brown?
712
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,100
Like if you're going to Jason
Brown at best you're going to a
713
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,800
six to eight-week fix, right?
Yeah, likes it.
714
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:15,000
That's all you.
It's all your doing, you know, I
715
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,100
think right now the best thing
to do is to to keep rolling with
716
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:21,700
Wells because number one, I
think in terms of arm Talent, he
717
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:26,300
gives us the best chance to win.
And number two, you want to at
718
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:29,200
least give him his best.
A shot to show whether he's the
719
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,800
guy for the next two years, or
whether you're back at the
720
00:39:31,808 --> 00:39:36,000
drawing board.
This offseason Vega.
721
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,400
Because at least if he's still
in the house if he's potentially
722
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,600
not the guy, and he doesn't grow
between now and November.
723
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:48,100
Or hopefully now in January that
you can have the conversation
724
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:52,200
with them and say, you know,
it's got to be open like you did
725
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,100
not do enough to set yourself
apart for potentially other
726
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,300
guys, we can potentially bring
into this.
727
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:02,800
Yeah, I mean, when we look at,
you know, his play, you know,
728
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,800
he's based on good plays.
There are moments where you're
729
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,100
like, all right, I can see this
working but then there's moments
730
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:14,000
where he, you know, locks onto a
receiver, his primary right out.
731
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,900
The gate doesn't really ever
come off of it makes the throw
732
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,800
even though there might be some
check Downs there or a second or
733
00:40:20,808 --> 00:40:22,600
third read that might become an
open.
734
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,000
You know, there's a couple,
overthrows, some excusable, some
735
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,800
not, you know, we've seen things
that are really good and we've
736
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,900
seen things that he's got to
Gone in.
737
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,800
Like I said, I think we've seen
enough where You know, he's
738
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,700
going to need to be the guy the
rest of the way out but if we
739
00:40:43,700 --> 00:40:46,700
don't start seeing some progress
here, I think that's when you're
740
00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:50,900
saying all right, well we know
he's the solution for this year
741
00:40:50,900 --> 00:40:54,200
but he's not the next not the
solution for next 2 years.
742
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,500
Let's see what else we could
bring in here and see if we can
743
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:59,300
Elevate that position.
So absolutely still a work in
744
00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:01,400
progress right now still work in
progress.
745
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:04,200
Great point.
Now the other thing and this has
746
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,000
been discussed long, this has
been discussing spring, its
747
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,300
Talent up to keep Fishing
groups, there's nothing we can
748
00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:14,900
change about that this year, all
that we can do is hope that the
749
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:18,400
coaching staff makes the
decisions of who put you in the
750
00:41:18,408 --> 00:41:22,700
best position for this year.
But also who has the opportunity
751
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:27,700
to get playing time this year
that you can get, get the film,
752
00:41:27,700 --> 00:41:31,400
get them on tape to start
keychain and getting ready for
753
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:37,300
the next two to three seasons.
Yeah, I mean that's that's part
754
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:39,000
of the thing that, you know,
we're going to struggle.
755
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,300
Yes.
Is that think this week, think
756
00:41:41,300 --> 00:41:44,200
this week at the line that the
Mike linebacker that was that
757
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,800
depth chart that that kind of
shocked me and you, but that's
758
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,300
somebody who's going to
potentially, you know, will will
759
00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:53,000
Johnson, right?
Dip will Johnson this Dowdy
760
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,600
number to Mike at least for UNC
at least for you and see but
761
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,000
it's in it's like whoa, wasting
word Keyshawn.
762
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,300
Where's Dean Ferguson?
It's like, well, is this a week
763
00:42:02,300 --> 00:42:05,800
where they get will Johnson some
And he's already been,
764
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,300
redshirted he's doing some
things on special teams.
765
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:10,600
Is he get the run this week to
say?
766
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:14,700
He's a redshirt freshman, let's
get tape where we can, you know,
767
00:42:14,700 --> 00:42:17,800
analyze diagnose what he does.
Well, and what can he do?
768
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,800
Well to actually next year or
the year after?
769
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,600
Well, I think also in terms of
matchups, this is a team and
770
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,900
we're going to talk about it
after the break here.
771
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:30,500
You know what they like to do?
Will Johnson, skillset probably
772
00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:34,200
fits a lot more than a Keyshawn
artists this week.
773
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,900
So, you know, if you're going to
have a number two, we know and
774
00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:42,100
we've seen the twos get, you
know, at least a handful of
775
00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:44,400
series every week.
Yep.
776
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,200
We have so far so at least every
week.
777
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:52,100
So if we're looking at matchups
that's definitely a matchup
778
00:42:52,100 --> 00:42:53,200
down.
Like I said, whether that
779
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,800
carries over week to week after
this, that's that's going to be
780
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,000
the question.
But I like this move in terms of
781
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:04,400
this week, we see Kelly Lawson,
now starting at will him in
782
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,300
Keller.
Or it will.
783
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,000
I mean, as an athletic group,
right there with those two kids.
784
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,700
Yeah.
And and you know that
785
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:17,300
linebacking room is shaping up
and it's still, you know,
786
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:20,000
there's still some some fiddling
going on with it.
787
00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:23,300
But we've seen a big step
forward with that group this
788
00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:28,000
year and I think as we kind of
get more tape and Seymour would
789
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,400
have got guys are doing against
live competition against better
790
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,300
competition.
It's only going to get better
791
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,700
because we'll have a lot more.
Our understanding of what what
792
00:43:36,700 --> 00:43:40,100
these guys do well now and it's
also know a guy like counted
793
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:43,300
Jenkins has the eligibility to
come back next year where he is
794
00:43:43,300 --> 00:43:47,700
really evolved into that same
position and you know with him
795
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:50,400
and Walker you've got a good
Central, you've got a good one
796
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,700
to out there to be very, very
comfortable with.
797
00:43:54,100 --> 00:44:00,700
All right let's go to what
steady let's just say it is as
798
00:44:00,700 --> 00:44:03,200
much as the we're going to
malign the offensive line.
799
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,800
The way the Run blocking is
happened Has Pros been damn
800
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,300
good.
I mean if the sacks are happen
801
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:12,400
to the pressure happen, it's
cover pressure.
802
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,100
It's not You know, Brian you
said you've been impressed with
803
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:19,400
how this groups look because
they were a solid group, a
804
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,400
couple guys who played last year
with the exception of one
805
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,200
individual.
Yeah, you know, there's one that
806
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,000
the one guy that sells there's
one guy that still struggling
807
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,900
pretty bad and it makes no
sense.
808
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:35,400
It makes no sense Parker.
But as I mean, I think overall
809
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,100
I'm satisfied I wouldn't say I'm
impressed but I'm definitely
810
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:42,600
satisfied with the past, bro.
Like I said, I think we could
811
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,000
see some improvement from
Parker.
812
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,500
He's been the weakest link both
in the Run game in the pass game
813
00:44:50,700 --> 00:44:57,100
combined, in my opinion.
If if some of that can continue
814
00:44:57,100 --> 00:45:01,300
to go and he can put out more
tape, like he put out last year
815
00:45:01,300 --> 00:45:04,600
because he was a solid Solomon
pass / last year.
816
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:06,300
I know, I know, it's limited
games.
817
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:10,000
He only started a couple games
saw time and a lot of games
818
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,600
though and he had enough snaps
under his belt, where Past Pro
819
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,400
should not be the big problem
that it is for him.
820
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,400
Right now.
It just doesn't make me and you
821
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,400
talked about it the other day.
It's like you didn't think about
822
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,200
that.
He would be an issue like he had
823
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:30,600
solid game film.
He had good progression, you
824
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,700
know, not to not to downplay it.
Was he going to be first round
825
00:45:34,700 --> 00:45:37,400
pick?
Probably not, but the way he was
826
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,800
progressing, you felt like he
was going to be a very good for
827
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,700
former for three more years
here.
828
00:45:42,100 --> 00:45:47,300
And it's just like, come
unraveled, So that's in fact if
829
00:45:47,300 --> 00:45:50,400
you if we just get Parker back
to what he did last year, it's
830
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,700
significantly makes the
offensive line better than what
831
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:56,500
it is.
Both path Pro and Run game.
832
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,300
Yeah and it's weird because you
know I don't know if it's
833
00:46:00,300 --> 00:46:02,500
carrying over.
He's obviously thinking too
834
00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:05,700
much.
Just just looking at he's
835
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:11,100
thinking too much and he's not
not processing and leaning on
836
00:46:11,100 --> 00:46:13,500
his technique quick enough in
the snap.
837
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:18,600
And that's carrying over into is
his actual technique in terms of
838
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,600
the actual block itself.
Yeah, he's had bad technique.
839
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:29,100
He's gotten beaten inside.
Oh my God, if I'm rushing the
840
00:46:29,100 --> 00:46:33,000
passer, I'm crossing Parker
Clements face, every damn time.
841
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:39,500
Every damn time, I'm crossing
his face screw Creek should
842
00:46:39,500 --> 00:46:42,800
screw screw Edge rush I am
Crossing his face and making him
843
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,700
have to power step and keep me
from getting to the quarterback
844
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:51,700
inside.
So all right, all right, well,
845
00:46:51,700 --> 00:46:53,300
let's let's let's hit on a
couple more.
846
00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:56,500
Good things we already talked
about the linebackers, The Young
847
00:46:56,500 --> 00:47:00,300
and the old plane.
Good secondary play Man.
848
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:06,300
I mean It's you can't you know,
the corners are played solid,
849
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:08,000
the safeties have played really
good.
850
00:47:08,900 --> 00:47:13,100
There's secondary Place, good at
steady and you know, seeing Bree
851
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:17,100
on Murray played well last week.
So it seems like those groups
852
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:18,900
are.
They've got their footing.
853
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,600
Yeah.
I mean they've been playing well
854
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,800
overall being there's you know,
plays here there you can nitpick
855
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,800
for sure.
Yeah, you know, I've already
856
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,300
talked about, you know, Chapman,
missing the tackle on the edge
857
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:32,100
there, you know, a couple
technique.
858
00:47:32,300 --> 00:47:35,400
Here, they're some of the
resulted in penalties, on that
859
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,900
resulted in catches.
But overall, the unit is
860
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:42,700
playing.
Well, they've held in check some
861
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:47,400
of the better receivers that
will see, not just, you know, in
862
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,800
the early part of the schedule,
but for the whole year.
863
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:55,500
So you know, if they can keep
that play up, as we kind of get
864
00:47:55,500 --> 00:47:59,000
deeper into conference play,
that's going to be huge but
865
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,600
they're doing, they're doing a
good job so far.
866
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:04,300
Abso-freakin'-lutely.
You and Artie biddies are or
867
00:48:04,300 --> 00:48:06,400
what they are.
It's the running back room and I
868
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,500
know a lot of that's going to
hinge on and with the offensive
869
00:48:09,500 --> 00:48:13,600
line plays like but it's seeing
what we want to see and it
870
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,500
doesn't look like it's an
outside shot this week but
871
00:48:16,500 --> 00:48:20,800
seeing Malachi Thomas and
Keyshawn, King both be able to
872
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,600
play significant roles and I
think we have to put TVD on that
873
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,300
room until they're both on the
field because you've been
874
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:32,800
talking about those perimeter
runs and, you know, The one
875
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,500
thing really good about Malachi
and you've praised it over and
876
00:48:35,500 --> 00:48:38,700
over is to be a young to a be a
back of his age.
877
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:42,500
He is only his second year in
college in the way he ran.
878
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:45,100
Last year, his vision is already
like a senior.
879
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:47,900
Yeah he's got he's got really
good Vision.
880
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:53,500
It's not like Khalil Herbert
level Vision but very few are no
881
00:48:53,500 --> 00:48:56,200
but it's really good especially
for the experience and he's had
882
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,900
the offense so far, you know, a
little bit more vision is going
883
00:49:00,900 --> 00:49:02,600
to help this offense.
I mean, it's a difference
884
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,000
between a 1 or 2 yard gain for
5-yard, gain on.
885
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,600
A lot of these plays that were
looking at, just just picking
886
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,500
the right lane picking the
right, Ali setting the block up
887
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:15,400
better, you know?
They're they're little things
888
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,400
that Kent can help this offense
to have a little bit more
889
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,500
consistency.
You know, I we're not going to
890
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:25,900
see significant or drastic
change happened.
891
00:49:25,900 --> 00:49:30,800
Just because Malachi suddenly
inserted into the offense, but
892
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,300
we might see again, the small
things.
893
00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:36,000
We're we're now no longer
playing from behind the chains
894
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,700
on second and third down, you
know, if we can do that a little
895
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:43,400
bit better, that makes things
easier for Grant Wells.
896
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,000
Now, they've got honor the
running the past on this third.
897
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:49,400
Insurance versus there's third
and Long's you know play action
898
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,300
works a lot better on second
down.
899
00:49:51,300 --> 00:49:54,400
There's so many different things
that kind of open up.
900
00:49:54,500 --> 00:49:57,200
If you can have an effective
first down, run that gets you
901
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,800
three to four yards and Absalom.
And when we look at the wide
902
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,900
receiver room we're seeing you
know, guys take steps, right?
903
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:07,600
We're that's the other one that
we're kind of, it's a work in
904
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,000
progress, but we've seen some
young guys, make some plays.
905
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
We've seen some young guys, make
some mistakes here there but
906
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:19,000
we're at least seeing Some
growth weeks a week, that's it.
907
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,000
We saw the Christian Moss.
You make some good plays against
908
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,800
West Virginia, after having a
big day against Wofford Step Up
909
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,600
in competition a little bit, we
still see his present in the
910
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,700
offense, so that's a positive.
Sign positive, take away, you
911
00:50:32,700 --> 00:50:35,400
know, we saw blue that had had
some opportunities against West
912
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,500
Virginia, a couple that he
wasn't able to capitalize on.
913
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:40,200
But there were some
opportunities there, where he
914
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,700
was getting open, where he was
getting in a spot where he can
915
00:50:43,700 --> 00:50:47,000
make a play in the offense.
So, there's some positive
916
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,600
momentum in that group, but
there's still a lot of TBD and
917
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,700
pivoting back to the running
back room real quick.
918
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,600
When we talk about Malachi
coming back now, you've got two
919
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,200
guys that you can count on.
And I think that's when you
920
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:08,800
start seeing Bryce Duke, being
used in a few more packages.
921
00:51:10,500 --> 00:51:13,700
So that's my hope.
Is that because of Bryce Duke
922
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:17,100
skill set?
Yeah, I think what he can do on
923
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:20,900
the perimeter and will help us
because that's where we need to
924
00:51:20,908 --> 00:51:25,200
start getting a little bit.
Little bit better at attacking
925
00:51:26,300 --> 00:51:29,300
to take a little bit of pressure
off the interior offensive line.
926
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,800
So if Bryce do can get some more
run because of guys like Thomas
927
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,400
and King that you can lean on a
little bit for the rest of the
928
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,400
workload.
That's only going to help us
929
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,300
long-term.
Abso-freakin'-lutely Brian.
930
00:51:43,100 --> 00:51:47,700
So obviously a lot to unpack.
Obviously a lot of things that
931
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:51,800
you know we we know we can't do
anything about this year, it's
932
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,900
going to take time, it's going
to take development.
933
00:51:54,700 --> 00:51:57,100
It's a lot of things.
We know if we clean up, we can
934
00:51:57,100 --> 00:52:00,000
become more competitive and
every game we play from now
935
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,100
until November.
So, hopefully we start seeing
936
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:03,600
these things.
And again, talking with you on
937
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,900
to our last night, sounds like
the coach has already put things
938
00:52:05,900 --> 00:52:08,000
in place, which is what you want
to hear.
939
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,700
It's, we're not trying to The
same things, it's four games in
940
00:52:11,700 --> 00:52:13,700
certain things aren't working.
Let's change it up.
941
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,500
Alright Brian before we get into
our main topic tonight of Know
942
00:52:17,500 --> 00:52:21,800
The Enemy North Carolina we are
going to take a quick pause for
943
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,700
a message from our digital
partners.
944
00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:27,400

Dash report now back to the
951
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,700
episode.
Alright, so now let's begin Know
952
00:52:48,700 --> 00:52:53,200
The Enemy UNC and Brian it's an
easy place to start.
953
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:54,800
We started with there.
Offense, man.
954
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,600
And let's talk about the man
under Center under the shotgun
955
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,500
snaps.
Drake May the quarterback, a six
956
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:04,700
foot four 220-pound, redshirt
freshman.
957
00:53:04,700 --> 00:53:06,400
So he is pretty much a baby out
there.
958
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,200
Out of Myers, Park High School
and Hunter bills North Carolina
959
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:14,800
down near Charlotte 2021.
He was a Five Star Quarterback,
960
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,600
he was a top 25 player.
He was a cop for quarterback.
961
00:53:18,700 --> 00:53:22,200
He was the top player in the
state of North Carolina and I
962
00:53:22,207 --> 00:53:25,600
tell you what so far this Season
his statistics.
963
00:53:25,900 --> 00:53:29,500
He's living up to it man.
Already thrown for over 1,200
964
00:53:29,500 --> 00:53:33,600
yards. 16 touchdowns one pick
has a little wiggle in his game
965
00:53:34,100 --> 00:53:36,100
closely.
You know, averaging just over
966
00:53:36,100 --> 00:53:39,800
four and a half carry so when
you turn that tape on and you
967
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,900
had some really fun games to
watch this week, do it with this
968
00:53:43,900 --> 00:53:46,000
offense.
What are you seeing out of
969
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Drake?
Me and what potentially could we
970
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,900
do?
Yeah.
971
00:53:50,900 --> 00:53:53,500
So what I'm seeing, I mean, he's
really quick at reading with the
972
00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:55,700
defense is giving him and taking
what's there.
973
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,600
That's probably his biggest
attribute in terms of being a
974
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,100
young player.
He's really good at identifying.
975
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,800
What a defense is doing and
taking what the offense kind of
976
00:54:05,808 --> 00:54:09,500
has that play there.
He's a good athlete.
977
00:54:09,500 --> 00:54:12,500
Probably a little bit better
athlete than we saw from Sam how
978
00:54:12,500 --> 00:54:16,800
last year at UNC, but the
difference is, he's very
979
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,400
decisive when he takes off and
runs.
980
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:23,400
So when he goes, he goes, he's
very decisive with it.
981
00:54:24,500 --> 00:54:27,500
There's no, there's no
questioning whether he's going
982
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:31,600
to take off, he reads it.
If it's not, there, he's up.
983
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,400
He's making a play.
He's trying to get the get the
984
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,400
first down with his legs.
And he delivers them a curveball
985
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:37,700
at all levels of the The
defense.
986
00:54:37,700 --> 00:54:39,800
So you can throw a deep ball.
He throws even intermediate.
987
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,900
He throws short.
Probably some of the short
988
00:54:42,900 --> 00:54:47,800
accuracy is probably the biggest
thing he could work on, but he
989
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,200
can make all the throws at all.
The levels of the defense and
990
00:54:51,300 --> 00:54:53,600
you know, footwork pocket
mechanics are probably the
991
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,400
things that he could also work
on the most kind of get sloppy,
992
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,200
especially when he's feeling the
rush.
993
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,500
And he does again much like a
couple other quarterbacks we
994
00:55:02,500 --> 00:55:05,000
talked about this year, he does
take unnecessary hits when he
995
00:55:05,008 --> 00:55:06,700
breaks the pocket and tries to
make a play.
996
00:55:06,700 --> 00:55:11,000
So That might be an opportunity
where we get him to the ground
997
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,800
and get him to, where he's out
of his game a little bit.
998
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:17,500
Well, I hear those last two
things and I feel like that is
999
00:55:17,900 --> 00:55:20,200
there's your key, right?
There's your big key for
1000
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,600
throwing him off, is getting to
him, getting him into those bad
1001
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,200
habits and taking the
unnecessary hits.
1002
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,300
Because how many times do you
see a guy who has some ability?
1003
00:55:30,900 --> 00:55:34,600
They make that one bad play and
get popped hard have to sit out
1004
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,100
a couple plays and then the next
thing, you know, The next
1005
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:40,900
read-option, they're handing it
off and it doesn't even matter
1006
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:44,300
if that ends crashed right now.
I'm not taking another hit
1007
00:55:44,300 --> 00:55:46,400
tonight.
Like that didn't feel good.
1008
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,600
Yeah yeah and they operate
within the within the RPO.
1009
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,200
So he is kind of put out there a
lot where he'll take.
1010
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:58,800
It's in the pocket but he also
again takes off and runs and he
1011
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,600
gives us.
He'll give us some opportunities
1012
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:04,600
where we can give him a pop and
make him a little bit hesitant.
1013
00:56:05,300 --> 00:56:08,000
And that's going to be the big
thing is Bring him when we have
1014
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,100
the chance and getting him off
his spot when he's in the
1015
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:11,700
pocket.
Awesome.
1016
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,300
All right.
So there's a little bit on Drake
1017
00:56:13,300 --> 00:56:17,000
met the Carolina quarterback.
Let's flip now to obviously,
1018
00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:22,200
even though the guys only played
two games, Josh towns is second
1019
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:26,400
and Carolina interceptions which
is crazy because he only played
1020
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,500
the first in the gamers and
Notre Dame.
1021
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:32,600
The 510 175 lb wide out of
Suwanee, Georgia and North
1022
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:37,200
Gwinnett, High School for Star,
when he came out in 2020 top, A
1023
00:56:37,207 --> 00:56:41,100
nationally, top 25 wide receiver
and top 15 in state of Georgia
1024
00:56:41,100 --> 00:56:46,000
which says a lot about a player
and again, only two games so far
1025
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,700
this year.
But again, like I said, already
1026
00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:51,300
second on the team in receptions
already leading the team and
1027
00:56:51,300 --> 00:56:55,600
touchdowns, what do we need to
worry about with Down's?
1028
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,400
Because I know he's a little bit
smaller of a guy.
1029
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:03,600
I'm pretty much everything, but
deep down the sideline, he works
1030
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,500
out of the slot.
A lot that's primarily where
1031
00:57:06,500 --> 00:57:09,500
he's going to be running routes,
and he's great at running routes
1032
00:57:09,500 --> 00:57:12,700
great at changing direction.
Great with the ball in his
1033
00:57:12,700 --> 00:57:14,900
hands.
After the catch, he's going to
1034
00:57:14,908 --> 00:57:18,300
be the primary offensive Target
between the 20s, and he's going
1035
00:57:18,300 --> 00:57:20,800
to be the also, the primary Red
Zone Target.
1036
00:57:22,300 --> 00:57:25,200
And he's not really used as much
as a deep threat, but they will
1037
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,200
run him with some seem in some
fade.
1038
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:32,300
But not a ton of stuff deep down
the sideline, but when you get
1039
00:57:32,300 --> 00:57:34,000
in the Red Zone, look for the
fade.
1040
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,700
Look for the corner, you know,
look for those plays where he
1041
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:41,100
can kind of use his athleticism
to get open, and High Point the
1042
00:57:41,100 --> 00:57:43,300
ball, and bring it down for a
big play.
1043
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,000
Absolutely.
So again, he was out a couple
1044
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,000
games and we're not going to
talk about anymore wide
1045
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,700
receivers tonight because
there's I'm going to talk about
1046
00:57:52,700 --> 00:57:56,500
a tight end next.
But also keep your ears open for
1047
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:02,100
Kobe, Pacer Kobe face or leading
the team in receptions and
1048
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:05,200
another one.
Jay Jay Jones, Jay Jones, bigger
1049
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,100
guy, averaging, almost 20 yards
of pop.
1050
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:10,700
So, depending on what kind of
weather we're playing and you
1051
00:58:10,700 --> 00:58:12,500
may or may not hear from those
guys.
1052
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:15,800
But once more Antoine green, is
there, is there a deep threat as
1053
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,300
well?
So I mean they've got weapons
1054
00:58:17,300 --> 00:58:20,800
all over the field but you know,
when you look at the one that
1055
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,400
can hurt you everywhere, it's
Josh downs.
1056
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,700
And Josh Downs, makes everybody
else's job a lot easier because
1057
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:29,900
of Of everything that he can do.
Yep.
1058
00:58:30,300 --> 00:58:34,200
Let's flip and let's talk about
obviously Downs played, ain't
1059
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,700
Florida A&M played last week
against Notre Dame but he missed
1060
00:58:36,700 --> 00:58:40,700
that App State gaming, you Miss
Georgia, State, and in those
1061
00:58:40,700 --> 00:58:42,900
games.
Brian you looking at the tape
1062
00:58:42,900 --> 00:58:46,500
you kind of said they were going
tight in heavy and one of the
1063
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:52,000
Titans, they targeted a ton was
Morales.
1064
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:57,700
Come on, Ari Morales A6, 2245
tight end at a buck Lake floor.
1065
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,000
Lincoln High School, 2019,
three-star.
1066
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:06,200
I mean already, you know in
those games with, you know, with
1067
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:10,100
Down's out you know, he had ten
reception, he's already had ten
1068
00:59:10,100 --> 00:59:14,300
receptions for over 140 yards
this year and it really looked
1069
00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:17,300
like give credit to their
offense, went with Down's going
1070
00:59:17,300 --> 00:59:20,100
out.
They sort of like look between
1071
00:59:20,100 --> 00:59:23,400
the numbers and we're very
successful doing it with their
1072
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,000
tight ends.
Yeah, they definitely kind of
1073
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,600
filled in the Gap with what
downsells do.
1074
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,900
Ring with two guys Marisa.
Morales Morales.
1075
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,900
Probably the the better overall
Target in terms of being able to
1076
00:59:35,900 --> 00:59:39,400
do a little bit more within the
offense.
1077
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,300
They leaned on him heavily when
Josh Downs was out.
1078
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,200
Good hands, but not really
physically dominant.
1079
00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:49,500
And this is a guy that's more of
a kind of a joke or tight in,
1080
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:51,500
not necessarily A blocking
asset.
1081
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,600
He will block in space pretty
well.
1082
00:59:54,900 --> 00:59:57,300
Good stock blocker but not
somebody that you're going to
1083
00:59:57,300 --> 01:00:00,300
line up.
Line a ton and just try to try
1084
01:00:00,300 --> 01:00:01,900
to move bodies in the running
game.
1085
01:00:01,900 --> 01:00:06,700
So definitely a very past
focused asset for that that
1086
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:08,300
offense.
Yeah.
1087
01:00:08,300 --> 01:00:12,100
And and the game last week
against Notre Dame with Down's
1088
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:14,800
being back, definitely didn't
see as much of them.
1089
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:19,000
So obviously they could be
changing up things this week
1090
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,100
because obviously like, you
know, Downs had a really good
1091
01:00:22,100 --> 01:00:25,000
game against Notre Dame.
So could they go back to Morales
1092
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,600
versus us?
And again, it's funny.
1093
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,900
You know, we got key onto this
week in a lot of talk is about
1094
01:00:30,900 --> 01:00:35,800
that position but if he can play
like he did against BC and hold
1095
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,800
down another good tight end,
that helps the Hokies.
1096
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:44,600
All right, buddy, now to the fun
part, this isn't a very good
1097
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:50,100
offensive line is it?
No, you know, I don't know if
1098
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:54,300
they're as bad as we are right
now in terms of all the pieces,
1099
01:00:55,100 --> 01:00:56,800
but they're struggling pretty
bad.
1100
01:00:58,100 --> 01:01:01,400
If we're talking about three
worst, three or four were
1101
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,200
solvent sloppy, ACC has a lot of
bad offensive line play right
1102
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,000
now.
Between UVA between us between
1103
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Boston College, and between a
blue between this, this UNC
1104
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:16,700
team, so probably for the worst
offensive lines in the, in the
1105
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:20,100
ACC right now.
So unc's right there with them,
1106
01:01:20,900 --> 01:01:22,700
they're not great at staying
engaged.
1107
01:01:22,700 --> 01:01:25,500
They turn their shoulder, their
shoulders, get easily turn in
1108
01:01:25,500 --> 01:01:28,900
the running game creating those
Those penetration Lanes to
1109
01:01:28,900 --> 01:01:32,900
really mess up that path.
That rushing attack, they
1110
01:01:32,900 --> 01:01:35,300
struggle a lot.
Just like we were with the
1111
01:01:35,308 --> 01:01:37,500
stunts in the blitz pickup and
past Pro.
1112
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,200
You're somewhat.
Some of their deficiencies are
1113
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:45,700
mitigated by scheme and by what
maze able to do with his talent
1114
01:01:45,700 --> 01:01:48,400
is decision-making, ability to
throw the ball and ability to
1115
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,700
make quick decisions and get the
ball out.
1116
01:01:51,300 --> 01:01:54,300
But they're not very good in the
Run game or the passing game.
1117
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,800
Very very mediocre.
Definitely something we could
1118
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:02,100
take advantage of So, why are
they then how?
1119
01:02:02,100 --> 01:02:05,400
How, why are they so successful?
Because obviously, if they're
1120
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,800
not that talented, what's, you
know, how can you really be
1121
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,700
covered that up by that much?
I'm asking?
1122
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,500
Yeah, yeah, I mean, so, you
know, we talked about this a lot
1123
01:02:16,500 --> 01:02:20,200
when we think about, you know, a
couple years back, how bad those
1124
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:24,700
Miami lines were but they were
still able to be effective in
1125
01:02:24,700 --> 01:02:27,600
the passing game and be
effective enough in the running
1126
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,300
game.
It's kind of the same situation.
1127
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,700
In here.
When it's right, they can they
1128
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:36,000
can break some big plays in the
running game when a Mario
1129
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,500
Hampton who were about to talk
about here in a second, gets to
1130
01:02:38,500 --> 01:02:41,300
the second level.
He can make big plays had
1131
01:02:41,300 --> 01:02:46,700
touched had a run of 53 yards I
think against their their FCS
1132
01:02:46,700 --> 01:02:53,600
opponent and then a couple other
big runs as well so he can break
1133
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:58,100
some big ones and that plus what
may is able to do, when how
1134
01:02:58,100 --> 01:03:04,300
quickly They are able to get the
ball out, but also what this
1135
01:03:04,300 --> 01:03:08,700
offense does, well, is kind of
put that those Force players in
1136
01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:11,800
a bind, in terms of, whether
they're, it's a run or a pass,
1137
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,600
or whether it's a give or a
keep.
1138
01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:16,900
When you do that, that kind of
slows things down a little bit
1139
01:03:16,900 --> 01:03:18,200
and that helps your offensive
line.
1140
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,000
Got it, got it.
Any one particular player, maybe
1141
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:26,700
stand out for you.
No one really.
1142
01:03:26,700 --> 01:03:29,100
I mean, it's very, it's very
buidling across the board.
1143
01:03:30,700 --> 01:03:34,400
I mean, they're breaking in kind
of some new players on that
1144
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,000
line.
So it's still very much a work
1145
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,900
in progress.
All right.
1146
01:03:37,900 --> 01:03:40,100
Good to know.
Let's talk about the guy, they
1147
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:43,300
have blocked for, who's had a
solid season thus far, and
1148
01:03:43,300 --> 01:03:46,900
that's a Mario, Hampton.
The running back six-foot-two.
1149
01:03:46,900 --> 01:03:49,700
20 out of Clayton, North
Carolina, Cleveland High School
1150
01:03:49,700 --> 01:03:53,300
for star in the 2022 class.
He is a true freshman playing.
1151
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,600
He was the 11th grader running.
In the country and a top-five
1152
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:01,500
player in the state and you know
so far it's sort of been really
1153
01:04:01,500 --> 01:04:05,100
good game back to Earth really
good game back to Earth.
1154
01:04:05,500 --> 01:04:07,700
So this week it's saying this
should be another really good
1155
01:04:07,700 --> 01:04:09,700
game.
I hope that the pattern does not
1156
01:04:09,700 --> 01:04:14,300
continue because he was teased a
256 averaging over 50 carry for
1157
01:04:14,300 --> 01:04:16,300
the season.
But coming off the Notre Dame
1158
01:04:16,300 --> 01:04:21,000
game where he only got 28 yards
and 32 from scrimmage with one
1159
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,000
little catch.
But when you see in the good
1160
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,300
parts of him, What's it?
What's the Artie?
1161
01:04:26,300 --> 01:04:29,200
What's he showing?
I mean, the big thing you show
1162
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,300
and he's got great vision
between the tackles and he
1163
01:04:31,300 --> 01:04:35,200
finishes his runs very well.
So he's a guy that's always
1164
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:36,600
falling forward.
Always fighting for extra,
1165
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:41,500
yardage and maximizes, kind of
what this offensive line gives
1166
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:44,000
him.
But he did disappear against
1167
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,600
appstate, did disappear against
Notre, Dame, a lot of that was
1168
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:51,400
based on game Flow there.
You know AB State you're getting
1169
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:55,000
in a shootout Notre Dame damn
playing from behind.
1170
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,600
For a significant portion of the
game and especially in the
1171
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,800
second half of the new Dame
game, where they completely
1172
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,300
control time of possession.
So there wasn't a ton of
1173
01:05:05,300 --> 01:05:08,800
opportunities, even when they
were playing from behind to kind
1174
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,900
of get those those carries and
there's touches.
1175
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,400
But he does have big play
ability like I talked about, but
1176
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:19,000
really is struggled getting to
the sex the second level against
1177
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,900
that better.
I competition.
1178
01:05:20,900 --> 01:05:25,300
So if we can do kind of what
Notre Dame is done and Tap,
1179
01:05:25,300 --> 01:05:28,600
state did for for significant.
Portions of that game?
1180
01:05:28,900 --> 01:05:32,500
Yeah, I think will be our
writing and maintaining keeping
1181
01:05:32,500 --> 01:05:35,800
the Russian game under control
and making them a
1182
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,100
one-dimensional offense.
Yeah, definitely.
1183
01:05:39,100 --> 01:05:41,800
That has to be the key is to
make them a one-dimensional
1184
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,700
offense.
Regardless, because the pass
1185
01:05:44,700 --> 01:05:47,200
game is far as the pass game
goes, they don't really use the
1186
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:50,100
running backs a lot.
I mean, the running bags.
1187
01:05:50,100 --> 01:05:52,500
I mean, I'm just looking here
running backs.
1188
01:05:52,500 --> 01:05:58,000
Only have 15.
Seems all year, and it's just a
1189
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:03,200
little over a hundred yards, so
not a big key factor, there's no
1190
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,000
5A game combined.
Yeah.
1191
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,700
Yeah, not much.
I mean, it's 45 a game for like,
1192
01:06:07,700 --> 01:06:10,600
twenty five, twenty twenty-five,
Thirty yard average.
1193
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,500
So they're not using that as a
lot of check downs.
1194
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,700
But again, maybe with a Young
quarterback, getting to that
1195
01:06:16,700 --> 01:06:21,700
read is the real issue.
So you know I know we've seen
1196
01:06:21,700 --> 01:06:24,500
this team for a couple years now
Brian but let's just go high
1197
01:06:24,500 --> 01:06:27,000
level.
Well, what type of offense are
1198
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,800
we looking at?
And what are they doing?
1199
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,500
That we need to be looking for
on Saturday afternoon 3:30.
1200
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:41,000
Yeah, this is a spread.
Our po based offense and again I
1201
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,500
said it a little bit but you
know the big key is all about
1202
01:06:43,500 --> 01:06:46,700
putting the the force players of
the defense in a bind where they
1203
01:06:46,700 --> 01:06:49,900
can't, you know, play the run or
the past, they've got to kind of
1204
01:06:49,908 --> 01:06:52,900
think and read and and kind of
sit back and wait.
1205
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,200
That's what they're trying to
do, they're trying to make
1206
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:01,800
things difficult, put guys on
Islands, they're not a great
1207
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:06,200
traditional rushing team, but
maze numbers kind of make up for
1208
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,600
that combined with what the
running backs have been able to
1209
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:14,300
do in some big carries and those
weaker competition games but
1210
01:07:14,300 --> 01:07:16,900
they are still you know they're
still hovering just below that
1211
01:07:16,900 --> 01:07:21,400
200-yard a game Mark so they're
getting decent yardage overall,
1212
01:07:21,700 --> 01:07:24,900
but some of those running game
aspects are disappearing.
1213
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,100
For long stretches against
better competition.
1214
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,500
They're much more efficient
through the air than they are on
1215
01:07:30,500 --> 01:07:33,600
the ground but they can still
get bogged down when they
1216
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,400
already want to routinely hit
their shots, downfield, or take
1217
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:40,700
advantage of good runs and good.
Good plays on early downs.
1218
01:07:42,300 --> 01:07:45,800
And, you know, they definitely
are a dynamic offense, but they
1219
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,400
become very pedestrian when you
get them into those third and
1220
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:52,100
long situations, that's good to
know.
1221
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:54,900
We're going to visit something
about those third.
1222
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,800
Situations.
But you're absolutely right as
1223
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,800
far as the Russian goes Bryan
against Notre Dame.
1224
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:05,400
Last week, I mean, you know,
basically 60 yards on about 25
1225
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:09,100
carry.
So very pedestrian and there's
1226
01:08:09,100 --> 01:08:13,900
one of your big keys, right?
You know, stop them make you've
1227
01:08:13,900 --> 01:08:15,600
said it make them
one-dimensional offense.
1228
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,500
We make them beat you passing,
especially in a Range so game,
1229
01:08:18,899 --> 01:08:21,700
it could be good things for the
Hokies.
1230
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,300
Now let's go talk about the
defense because the defense not
1231
01:08:25,300 --> 01:08:27,300
the best.
But let's talk about a couple
1232
01:08:27,300 --> 01:08:30,800
key players, are that?
We're seeing making some impact
1233
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:35,399
and let's start with Cedric
gray, the linebacker
1234
01:08:35,399 --> 01:08:38,500
six-foot-two 230 out of
Charlotte, North Carolina,
1235
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:42,100
Audrey kill, High School, class
of 2020.
1236
01:08:42,300 --> 01:08:48,000
Again I keep saying it for Star.
Top 10 player, North Carolina's
1237
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,700
top teen athlete in the country.
How this team is only winning.
1238
01:08:51,700 --> 01:08:53,899
Six games a year.
Only tells you that their
1239
01:08:53,899 --> 01:08:56,600
coaching staff is Ass.
That's all I'm gonna say.
1240
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,300
Is many talented players if
we've been saying here and
1241
01:08:59,300 --> 01:09:01,399
there's even more that we're not
mentioning.
1242
01:09:01,899 --> 01:09:04,800
So the worst thing is that at
least the offense is getting
1243
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:09,600
production, like but the defense
has four and five stars all
1244
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:17,100
every weld and are but ass.
But speaking of Cedric, great
1245
01:09:17,100 --> 01:09:19,100
said, your gray is the
Undisputed leader on this
1246
01:09:19,100 --> 01:09:22,100
defense, okay?
He's weak side linebacker, he's
1247
01:09:22,100 --> 01:09:24,899
the best player.
Best box player and run.
1248
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:29,200
First offender that they have,
he is also their primary Blitzer
1249
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:32,100
when they send pressure.
They'll use another guy that
1250
01:09:32,100 --> 01:09:34,100
we're about to talk about as
well, but he's the guy that they
1251
01:09:34,108 --> 01:09:37,100
like to send the most on those
pressures and he's generally
1252
01:09:37,100 --> 01:09:40,000
matched up with the running back
in man coverage.
1253
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:45,500
When they go into into the drop
back, probably better in man
1254
01:09:45,500 --> 01:09:51,300
than he is in zone, but he
doesn't really have a bunch of
1255
01:09:51,500 --> 01:09:54,300
liabilities, but he's more of a
kind of a leader.
1256
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:59,400
Okay.
He's not Elite in any key areas
1257
01:10:00,500 --> 01:10:02,800
but he doesn't really have any
deficiencies either his
1258
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,600
leadership and kind of what he
brings to that front is probably
1259
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,700
his biggest attribute.
Let me ask this because you say
1260
01:10:09,700 --> 01:10:12,500
he is the guy carrying running
backs out of the backfield.
1261
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,300
Does he have the kind of
athleticism that can keep up
1262
01:10:15,300 --> 01:10:17,100
with guys?
Like he's Sean King, if we
1263
01:10:17,100 --> 01:10:21,100
decide to go out and run some
Flats, maybe run some Wheels,
1264
01:10:21,100 --> 01:10:24,200
run some angle routes, where
Keshawn is it close to you
1265
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,800
Keshawn, is that Poletik.
I mean he did a decent job of
1266
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:33,300
matching Chris Tyree for a lot
of the Notre Dame game you know
1267
01:10:33,300 --> 01:10:37,100
he did get a few gains but he
wasn't necessarily getting beat
1268
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:41,600
where Tyrese running up.
The up the sideline, the only
1269
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,400
time that a running back called,
a big ball in that game is when
1270
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:51,500
they put two out there and and
threw away from Cedric Grace.
1271
01:10:51,500 --> 01:10:54,900
Oh, okay, that's that's the only
big play there.
1272
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,200
Add with a running back in the
passing game was when they went
1273
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,800
away from that.
So got you got you?
1274
01:11:00,100 --> 01:11:03,000
Well in Graham selfie like you
said, he's the leader and he's
1275
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,000
leading this team in tackles 47.
Total tackles three and a half
1276
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,600
four loss.
He has a pick, he's Pat, he
1277
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,100
know, he played a little last
year.
1278
01:11:10,100 --> 01:11:13,600
He's deflected passes.
So like you said, it sounds like
1279
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,000
he has a willy well-rounded
game.
1280
01:11:16,300 --> 01:11:18,900
Now, let's talk about the other
linebacker.
1281
01:11:18,900 --> 01:11:21,900
That caught your eye on the tape
because I was looking at
1282
01:11:21,900 --> 01:11:25,600
somebody else you texted me and
said, let's flip Ooh, this guy
1283
01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:30,600
power Echols all named Team,
first of all, power equals Big
1284
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:34,200
Time, 6-foot 225.
Also from Charlotte, North
1285
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:39,000
Carolina from chambers High
School, 2021 class for Star, top
1286
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:43,000
200 player, top 20 linebacker,
number 13 in the state of North
1287
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,500
Carolina in power so far this
year.
1288
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:50,600
Also, well, up there getting 37
total, tackles three tackles for
1289
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:54,700
loss, couple sacks, what's power
showing on tape.
1290
01:11:56,300 --> 01:11:58,600
He's good at making plays
against the run when he plays
1291
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:02,400
with anticipation trusses reads
and in kind of gets up in there
1292
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,000
but he's below averaging
coverage, especially in man.
1293
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:10,700
So this is something where we
might be able to create some
1294
01:12:10,700 --> 01:12:13,900
mismatches with guys in our
game.
1295
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,600
He does a good job when
blitzing, he's probably the guy
1296
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,400
that they send them Blitz is the
second most in this defense
1297
01:12:23,500 --> 01:12:26,100
meddling when it comes to block.
A shedding and tackling.
1298
01:12:26,100 --> 01:12:30,600
He'll miss some tackles here and
there and can get confused and
1299
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,800
influence by motion and window
dressing when he has coverage
1300
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,900
duties that big pass to the
running back that I'm talking
1301
01:12:37,900 --> 01:12:39,500
about.
There was some window-dressing
1302
01:12:39,500 --> 01:12:43,000
some motion, he got caught up in
the wash and next thing you know
1303
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,400
you let a guy get behind him.
Big touchdown that kind of
1304
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,700
extended that lead and kind of
put it Out Of Reach for you and
1305
01:12:50,700 --> 01:12:53,400
see where they were playing
big-time catch up there in the
1306
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:57,900
fourth quarter.
So, It has some ability.
1307
01:12:57,900 --> 01:13:00,500
That makes a lot of mistakes.
That's kind of the big takeaway
1308
01:13:00,500 --> 01:13:03,300
for him.
Got it, got it.
1309
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,300
All right, let's flip.
And let's take a look at a
1310
01:13:05,300 --> 01:13:08,400
member of the secondary that if
you have followed Okie football,
1311
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,500
will last few years, you were
all too familiar with and that's
1312
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:16,300
camera on Kelly.
The free safety, 61 210 out of
1313
01:13:16,300 --> 01:13:19,200
Oscar Smith, High School.
If you don't remember, he was
1314
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:23,400
originally committed to the
Hokies long long time ago in
1315
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:28,300
2018.
And then he flipped to Auburn
1316
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:32,600
who signed with and the class of
2019 where he was a four-star,
1317
01:13:32,700 --> 01:13:37,300
top-10 player in Virginia, top
24/7 player, but he did make it
1318
01:13:37,300 --> 01:13:41,500
through Auburn spring.
He then flip to you and see
1319
01:13:41,500 --> 01:13:46,400
after signing with them and he
is now they're at Carolina where
1320
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:53,400
he actually played as a freshman
in 2019, you know, this year
1321
01:13:53,500 --> 01:13:57,900
starting at the strong safety.
Position 20 tackles no pics.
1322
01:13:57,900 --> 01:13:59,600
No sex.
No tackles for loss.
1323
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:07,000
Is he doing adequate or or, or
could they potentially bench
1324
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:11,100
him?
So he's also their punt
1325
01:14:11,100 --> 01:14:13,300
returner.
So, okay.
1326
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,000
We'll put that caveat in there.
He is.
1327
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:21,700
Not a very good tackler at all.
He is food in the open field.
1328
01:14:23,500 --> 01:14:26,200
That's something that we could.
He is food.
1329
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:30,800
We can absolutely take advantage
of his ability in the secondary
1330
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:34,400
if we can get the ball out and
have to force him to make a play
1331
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,300
in space.
He's a little bit better when he
1332
01:14:37,300 --> 01:14:41,400
kind of come up and get a Fin
early in the snap if he's late
1333
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,300
and he's kind of on the island
he's cooked.
1334
01:14:44,900 --> 01:14:48,900
Okay.
And he's improved his coverage,
1335
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,500
particularly man coverage so he
looks a lot better in coverage
1336
01:14:52,500 --> 01:14:54,600
than he's looked.
I think the last probably two
1337
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:58,600
years that We looked at tape on
him, but I'd say he's more
1338
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,100
dangerous on special teams and
he is on defense.
1339
01:15:02,700 --> 01:15:04,800
All right.
Yeah, the Special Teams.
1340
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,300
I mean, and it's solid numbers
me.
1341
01:15:08,300 --> 01:15:12,000
He's got 500 turns for, you
know, 64 yards.
1342
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,900
So almost average in 13 which is
that can be a field.
1343
01:15:14,900 --> 01:15:17,900
Flipper, catch that at the 25,
get it up to the 40.
1344
01:15:18,700 --> 01:15:21,700
That's that guy changes games,
things like that.
1345
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:26,400
It's just the camera on Kelly.
Things always funny because of
1346
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:28,700
the announcement was big when it
happened because he played it
1347
01:15:28,700 --> 01:15:32,200
Oscar Smith to feel like a big
win and then a month later, he
1348
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:36,800
Flipped and and he's been doing
his own thing since.
1349
01:15:36,900 --> 01:15:40,400
All right, one more player on
the defense before we take a
1350
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:44,300
look at more defensive scheme.
And let's talk about big guy
1351
01:15:44,300 --> 01:15:48,400
Desmond Evans, six foot six to
sixty five defensive end
1352
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:53,700
Sanford, North Carolina, Lee
County High School, 20:24 star
1353
01:15:53,700 --> 01:15:56,600
type hundred player.
The number two player in North
1354
01:15:56,600 --> 01:16:01,500
Carolina that year and a top ten
weeks I'd defensive end
1355
01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:04,800
position.
And as men's issue Desmond this
1356
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:10,200
year, 15 total tackles no loss
or sacks, which kind of
1357
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:13,000
interesting knowing that he's
putting his hand in the dirt a
1358
01:16:13,008 --> 01:16:16,000
little bit more brine, but
what's he doing?
1359
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:21,100
Good that he caught, he, you
know, he caught my eye but then
1360
01:16:21,100 --> 01:16:23,300
he called you're out of stay on
here for review.
1361
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,100
Yeah, I mean, he's a long
defensive end with really good
1362
01:16:27,100 --> 01:16:31,700
size, I mean, that's, that's
evident they were 66 to 65, you
1363
01:16:31,708 --> 01:16:37,400
know, that's It's prototypical
NFL size right there.
1364
01:16:38,700 --> 01:16:41,100
Plays a good leverage sets, a
good Edge.
1365
01:16:42,500 --> 01:16:45,800
He's probably the best rusher
they have despite not having any
1366
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,500
any shown up on the stat sheet
yet.
1367
01:16:49,500 --> 01:16:51,600
But he struggles at times to
shed blocks.
1368
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,800
I mean, that's that's the big
thing is that if you can get
1369
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:56,900
engaged with him.
Well, he doesn't do a good job
1370
01:16:56,900 --> 01:17:00,400
of pursuit.
He doesn't do a great job of
1371
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,500
kind of getting away from.
From his blocker and making a
1372
01:17:03,508 --> 01:17:05,800
play after he gets fully
engaged.
1373
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,000
But if you get some move early
he does a pretty good job there.
1374
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:14,800
And you know, a lot of times
he's like a split second from
1375
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,400
getting home on a lot of these
rushes.
1376
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:21,400
So we still got to make sure
that we contain him that we're
1377
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,200
identifying him when he's on the
field.
1378
01:17:24,300 --> 01:17:26,700
Yep.
And you you kind of said it, you
1379
01:17:26,708 --> 01:17:29,200
know, he has no sax but he's
their best pass rusher.
1380
01:17:29,300 --> 01:17:31,300
They only have seven sacks for
the year.
1381
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,700
So, So those are I'm sure I
think our linebackers making
1382
01:17:34,700 --> 01:17:37,900
making some sacks there.
So it's really interesting to
1383
01:17:37,900 --> 01:17:41,500
see that and I mean once again
is it a potential in Avail
1384
01:17:41,500 --> 01:17:45,000
Talent wasted on the defensive
side at Carolina under Gene
1385
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,700
chizik defense potentially.
So let's actually talk about
1386
01:17:48,700 --> 01:17:51,800
that defense Prime because last
year and the last few years,
1387
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:54,600
when we talked about this team,
they were running to 45.
1388
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:57,600
They hired Gene chizik to this
point.
1389
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,800
It doesn't look like he's fixing
things, but what does it look
1390
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:04,500
like when they play?
Yeah, it's a lot less attacking
1391
01:18:04,500 --> 01:18:10,800
a lot more fundamentals and kind
of playing playing positions.
1392
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:16,200
And right now, it's a multiple
front, it's a 425 base.
1393
01:18:16,700 --> 01:18:21,700
They use a hybrid, The Players
called a star which is kind of
1394
01:18:21,708 --> 01:18:25,000
like a whipped I position.
And then a hybrid another hybrid
1395
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,600
player called a jack which is
like a defensive end linebacker
1396
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:32,200
that's where you see, Noah
Taylor former UVA.
1397
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:39,100
Linebacker lining up for them.
They don't have much success
1398
01:18:39,100 --> 01:18:41,900
unless they kind of get you
behind the sticks early, and
1399
01:18:41,900 --> 01:18:47,700
then can bring some of those
blitzes and put some pressure.
1400
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,800
They Don't Really pressure on
early Downs.
1401
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:56,800
It's very specific on Third and
behind the sticks or or
1402
01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:01,100
situational.
They get gashed a lot in the Run
1403
01:19:01,100 --> 01:19:05,300
game.
They don't do a good job holding
1404
01:19:05,300 --> 01:19:08,300
up in their in their gaps.
So there is some opportunity
1405
01:19:08,300 --> 01:19:09,800
there.
Maybe we see some progress with
1406
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:11,600
our offensive line this week
against this.
1407
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:15,500
This front.
They are not the the huge front
1408
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:20,800
with Dynamic athletes that we
saw with West Virginia last
1409
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:25,700
week, There's No Jordan
Jefferson or Dante Stills on
1410
01:19:25,700 --> 01:19:30,300
this team.
So you know, there is some
1411
01:19:30,300 --> 01:19:33,300
opportunity, there they're very
Very inconsistent in their
1412
01:19:33,300 --> 01:19:35,500
secondary, especially with
communication.
1413
01:19:35,900 --> 01:19:38,000
There's coverage breakdowns all
over the place.
1414
01:19:38,700 --> 01:19:41,000
They get fooled a lot with
play-action, misdirection,
1415
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,300
things like that.
And you notice that I didn't
1416
01:19:44,300 --> 01:19:48,300
mention storm, duck or Tony
Grimes.
1417
01:19:48,500 --> 01:19:51,600
You didn't enjoy this preview
because they have almost
1418
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:56,900
disappeared in terms of their
impact on this defense and that
1419
01:19:56,900 --> 01:20:00,100
kind of started last year and
it's carried over to this year
1420
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:03,500
and I'd say it's even worse.
I mean, You know, there were
1421
01:20:03,500 --> 01:20:06,700
guys on the sidelines against
Notre Dame, you know, fighting
1422
01:20:06,700 --> 01:20:10,300
white boards and fighting you
had Tony Grimes, get pulled
1423
01:20:10,300 --> 01:20:15,100
after a stupid penalty on a
late, hit out of bounds.
1424
01:20:16,100 --> 01:20:20,000
There are just so many things
that they're doing to hurt
1425
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,900
themselves right now.
And we know that we've, we've
1426
01:20:22,900 --> 01:20:24,900
experienced that on our side as
well.
1427
01:20:25,500 --> 01:20:29,300
The difference is that we're
producing when we're not hurting
1428
01:20:29,300 --> 01:20:32,800
ourselves, they are not and
that's why we're We're looking
1429
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:37,500
at another situation of a
stoppable force meeting a
1430
01:20:37,500 --> 01:20:41,900
movable object as we head down
to Chapel Hill for Saturday.
1431
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,800
Yeah, the old stoppable for
first against the movable
1432
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:49,700
objects in a hurricane what?
It's bound to go wrong there,
1433
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:56,000
good breakdowns on the defense
and on the offense Prime and
1434
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,800
after seeing your notes and then
looking through things, I feel
1435
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:03,300
like we got some keys out here
that it's to me, it's got to
1436
01:21:03,300 --> 01:21:05,100
happen.
And I mean the first key, I look
1437
01:21:05,100 --> 01:21:06,900
at this week is the Hokies
running game.
1438
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,700
You've already mentioned, how
this is not a good defense in
1439
01:21:09,700 --> 01:21:12,700
the proofs in the pudding.
I mean North Carolina's giving
1440
01:21:12,700 --> 01:21:16,100
up, over 216 yards, running per
game.
1441
01:21:16,100 --> 01:21:18,100
They're almost given up five
yards.
1442
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:22,000
Rush, there are 120 third in the
nation.
1443
01:21:23,100 --> 01:21:28,300
And the honest truth is, if we
can't get the Run game, going
1444
01:21:28,500 --> 01:21:32,200
this game, then it's probably
not going to happen this year.
1445
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,000
Maybe against UVA late in the
season.
1446
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:36,600
Their defense is looking great
either.
1447
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,000
But like this is your chance,
right?
1448
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:43,400
This is the chance to the plays
that we feel like we need.
1449
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,800
We need to find the bread and
butter on the outside of the
1450
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,500
finding poles.
Some of those things, maybe even
1451
01:21:48,500 --> 01:21:51,200
some jet sweeps.
I know well no one wants to hear
1452
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:52,300
it.
Ha ha, ha.
1453
01:21:53,100 --> 01:21:58,200
Curtis said a dirty word with
tell me that running the Jet
1454
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:01,200
Sweep.
It like Keshawn King potentially
1455
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:04,300
couldn't break some big play.
Plays this week especially how
1456
01:22:04,300 --> 01:22:08,300
they run.
Yeah I mean if you want to do it
1457
01:22:08,300 --> 01:22:10,800
you can do it to Connor Blum
like bummer because well so
1458
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,800
that's why I got to put it.
I think we need to get a little
1459
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,800
more creative with how we get
the ball in space, whether it's
1460
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:22,300
more of those quick screens, two
tight ends, or we can kind of
1461
01:22:22,300 --> 01:22:26,100
get to the edge quickly and then
get up field and almost use that
1462
01:22:26,100 --> 01:22:32,000
as a quasi running play or, you
know, something more creative in
1463
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,500
the Game.
Again, I'd like to see more pain
1464
01:22:34,500 --> 01:22:38,100
and pulls in more more, more
plays that attack that
1465
01:22:38,100 --> 01:22:41,100
perimeter.
And I think we will see more
1466
01:22:42,100 --> 01:22:47,300
this week.
Just because being honest, you
1467
01:22:47,300 --> 01:22:51,600
know, even with the players for
man fronts, regardless of what
1468
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,900
the guys look like for, man,
fronts are a little bit easier
1469
01:22:53,900 --> 01:22:58,300
to design runs runs against them
in three main fronts.
1470
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:03,100
So You know, I think we'll see a
little bit more consistency this
1471
01:23:03,100 --> 01:23:10,400
week, just because of that.
Yeah, now now just so bronze.
1472
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:13,000
Mentioned the passing of
Defense, that's not much better.
1473
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,700
We've already talked about it in
the keys with the bad.
1474
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,800
They're giving up almost 280
yards through the air there
1475
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:22,600
113th and that the defense isn't
good whatsoever.
1476
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,800
It's like if, if there ever was
an offense that needed to play a
1477
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:30,000
defense to fix things, we're
walking up to that off.
1478
01:23:30,100 --> 01:23:33,800
Into this week.
Like fix the shit fix the ship.
1479
01:23:34,100 --> 01:23:37,300
Shout-out, Glen Pereira watching
us out there on YouTube tonight.
1480
01:23:37,300 --> 01:23:42,100
Alright, let's look on the UNC
offensive side because when I
1481
01:23:42,100 --> 01:23:46,300
dug into this stat it's sort of
I'm not going to say, shocked
1482
01:23:46,300 --> 01:23:52,400
me, but so far this year, UNC
hundred first downs, 51 via
1483
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:57,000
passing the can, when I think of
that in a potential wet sloppy
1484
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,500
game, the winds not going to be
howling as bad.
1485
01:23:59,500 --> 01:24:04,300
They're saying, 10 to 15 up to
25 and you've said it already a
1486
01:24:04,308 --> 01:24:06,800
couple times tonight.
Brian with how they're they're
1487
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:11,600
leaning on the past.
And when I see a team over 50%
1488
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,000
that's how they get their first
downs you take away their run
1489
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:16,900
game.
I mean you can key in
1490
01:24:16,900 --> 01:24:21,400
potentially maybe jump one.
Yeah if we can take away their
1491
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:25,400
run game and they get a little
hesitant throwing a deep ball
1492
01:24:26,100 --> 01:24:29,300
and we're forcing them to have
to Dink and dunk the whole game.
1493
01:24:29,300 --> 01:24:32,200
I think that played Into our
favor because that's when we've
1494
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,200
seen maybe make some of his
mistakes.
1495
01:24:35,900 --> 01:24:38,700
That's when we seen his
technique, get a little, a
1496
01:24:38,700 --> 01:24:42,100
little lacks there.
So if we can do that, that that
1497
01:24:42,100 --> 01:24:43,600
bodes.
Well again, you know, they've
1498
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:47,900
had 51 through the air with, I
think 30, 30, some running and
1499
01:24:47,900 --> 01:24:50,600
then they've had like 10 or 12
through three penalties.
1500
01:24:51,300 --> 01:24:57,400
Yeah 151 through the air 10 on
penalties 39 rushing.
1501
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:01,100
Yep.
So I mean Almost and a lot of
1502
01:25:01,100 --> 01:25:03,800
those rushing have been made
taking off and getting the
1503
01:25:03,808 --> 01:25:05,000
first.
So it's, you know, it's not a
1504
01:25:05,008 --> 01:25:10,300
lot of design runs for May, but
it's a lot of glove scrambles
1505
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:14,200
where he's making those plays.
So the running game is you know,
1506
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:18,500
very hit-or-miss.
If we can contain that if we can
1507
01:25:18,500 --> 01:25:23,000
control that make them
one-dimensional, make it where
1508
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:27,600
they're not able to, you know,
press our Force players into
1509
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:29,000
having to make a decision if we
know.
1510
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,900
Okay, well, The keys are here.
This is a pass play.
1511
01:25:32,900 --> 01:25:36,400
This is a run play that lets
them play with a little more
1512
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:40,100
technique.
A little bit more freedom there,
1513
01:25:40,700 --> 01:25:44,300
so that's going to be key.
And, you know, we talked about
1514
01:25:44,300 --> 01:25:46,400
it last week.
It's another one this week.
1515
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,400
Hokies Red Zone.
D versus UNC red zone offense.
1516
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,700
Absolutely.
I mean you saw on the tape and
1517
01:25:53,700 --> 01:25:57,400
you mentioned it, they get
inside the 20, they are super
1518
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:01,200
aggressive going for it.
This team hasn't kicked a field
1519
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:03,100
goal inside the Red Zone, all
year.
1520
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:08,000
Yep so take them to think about
that, they've been 14 trips 13,
1521
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,200
touchdowns one, they didn't get
anything.
1522
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,400
So and then I remember, I saw it
and I was like, Brian.
1523
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,900
What's the tape showing your
like, they get down there, there
1524
01:26:15,900 --> 01:26:17,900
they say, screw it.
Yep.
1525
01:26:17,900 --> 01:26:21,500
I think they went three or four
times on Fourth down in the red
1526
01:26:21,500 --> 01:26:24,200
zone and you know, I've only
missed on one of them.
1527
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:30,200
So you know, they're they're
going to be aggressive.
1528
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:32,900
They will?
They want seven, they don't want
1529
01:26:32,900 --> 01:26:35,600
to settle for three, well, when
they're, when they're, what
1530
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,300
they're doing, their defense is
playing, they have to play for.
1531
01:26:38,300 --> 01:26:39,600
So yeah.
Yeah.
1532
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,700
Now they've been, they've been
in a lot of games where they
1533
01:26:42,700 --> 01:26:45,100
felt like, they needed as many
points as possible.
1534
01:26:45,700 --> 01:26:48,300
And they have needed as many
points as possible, and just
1535
01:26:48,300 --> 01:26:51,600
about every game.
I mean, you know, No disrespect
1536
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:55,100
to Florida A&M before.
Am put 26 on this team.
1537
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:59,200
Therefore an A&M is, I mean,
their best an average team in
1538
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:02,400
the division that play in.
And, you know, Broadway, we
1539
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,900
talked about you and see and you
guys look at the Hokies that's
1540
01:27:04,900 --> 01:27:07,400
inside the RedZone, believe it
or not, it's been a strength,
1541
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:11,300
you know, only 12 possessions
inside the Red Zone this year,
1542
01:27:11,500 --> 01:27:15,500
half of a resulted in field
goals Forum touchdowns to I'm
1543
01:27:15,500 --> 01:27:18,500
stopped.
So basically you're looking at
1544
01:27:18,500 --> 01:27:23,000
three quarters of the
possessions Getting down into
1545
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:27,300
the red zone are basically
ending with three or less for
1546
01:27:27,300 --> 01:27:29,400
the team that's playing on the
Hokey.
1547
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:33,800
So I mean, that's a something's
got to give their right either.
1548
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,000
They've got to get it to,
something's got to give here and
1549
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,000
we're going to get them off the
field or they're going to.
1550
01:27:38,500 --> 01:27:40,900
They're going to start putting
touchdowns in there for us.
1551
01:27:40,900 --> 01:27:44,500
So yeah.
Hopefully, with the way that
1552
01:27:44,500 --> 01:27:48,500
we're playing, if we can avoid
those penalties, that give them
1553
01:27:48,500 --> 01:27:52,400
some extra chances there.
I like what we can do there.
1554
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:56,400
All right.
Last one we looked at in Bryan
1555
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,500
already mentioned, the offensive
line is kind of garbage.
1556
01:27:58,500 --> 01:28:03,100
Unc's allow 12 sacks this year.
They've allowed three in each
1557
01:28:03,100 --> 01:28:08,000
game by each team so that no
disrespect App State or do
1558
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:11,500
Georgia Southern team.
They gave up three to them.
1559
01:28:11,500 --> 01:28:14,000
They gave up three to Florida in
them and they gave up three to
1560
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:17,900
Notre Dame.
Which begs the question Bryant,
1561
01:28:17,900 --> 01:28:21,000
should it be to the number?
Be like 20?
1562
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:25,500
I have Drake met was a statue.
Would that be doubled if he's a
1563
01:28:25,500 --> 01:28:27,900
statue?
Would be more if he wasn't
1564
01:28:27,900 --> 01:28:30,600
making the decisions as quickly
as he is there.
1565
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:34,700
Be more like there's this could
be significantly worse than it
1566
01:28:34,700 --> 01:28:41,900
is but the way they play and the
the scheme they have helps them
1567
01:28:41,900 --> 01:28:44,800
avoid some sacks by default.
So the fact that they still have
1568
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:49,500
12 is, I think indicative of how
that offensive plays going right
1569
01:28:49,500 --> 01:28:52,700
now and it's not good.
It's again one of the worst in
1570
01:28:52,700 --> 01:28:55,500
the country at giving up those
type plays.
1571
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:57,700
Alright.
So there you key for the Hokies
1572
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:02,800
to hopefully get the wind.
But now it's prediction time.
1573
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:05,700
Ryan and we were back here.
Again, we have to make
1574
01:29:05,700 --> 01:29:10,600
predictions every week.
So I lived last week, I missed.
1575
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:16,000
What do you say?
This week, well, I think this is
1576
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:21,300
going to be a sloppy messy game.
I think we do a good job of
1577
01:29:21,900 --> 01:29:25,700
turning them into a
one-dimensional team, but I
1578
01:29:25,700 --> 01:29:28,200
think they do get some points on
is I think they do, score some
1579
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,500
touchdowns on us.
I think we actually forced them
1580
01:29:31,500 --> 01:29:36,900
to kick one field goal though,
I've got them getting to 24 and
1581
01:29:36,900 --> 01:29:39,200
I think we make some
improvements on the offensive
1582
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:43,900
side this week.
I think we do some good things
1583
01:29:43,900 --> 01:29:46,600
considering the conditions on
that side of the ball this week,
1584
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:49,500
but I don't think it's enough.
I think we end up with 17.
1585
01:29:49,500 --> 01:29:53,100
So I've got UNC 24, Virginia
Tech 17.
1586
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:58,900
All right, I'm not to are far
off from you Brian you know all
1587
01:29:58,900 --> 01:30:02,600
the stuff we're seeing
offensively and defensively, we
1588
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:06,900
saw the defense essentially hold
a teen that was averaging five
1589
01:30:06,900 --> 01:30:10,700
hundred and twenty yards just
under 100 or just above.
1590
01:30:11,100 --> 01:30:14,400
Arch from their normal, only
give up 26 points.
1591
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:18,300
And the funny part is they gave
up 10 in the last 15 minutes
1592
01:30:18,900 --> 01:30:22,300
against West Virginia.
So I think the game is going to
1593
01:30:22,300 --> 01:30:25,100
be competitive but I've got to
lean you in see on this.
1594
01:30:25,100 --> 01:30:28,600
I think they do punch it in a
couple extra times in the red
1595
01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:34,000
zone and our offense just can't
keep up 28:20 Carolina in this
1596
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:38,000
case.
But they're caveat right?
1597
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:43,400
This week because of how bad.
The conditions and how bad the
1598
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,800
UNC offense is.
Yeah.
1599
01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:48,300
And you know, taking into
account, you know, we might
1600
01:30:48,300 --> 01:30:54,400
clean up some of the penalties
and an excuse that we had last
1601
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:56,300
week as well.
So if you take that into
1602
01:30:56,300 --> 01:31:00,000
account, if we can rush for 150
yards against this team, you
1603
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:04,800
two, if you put that on the stat
sheet, if you go out there and
1604
01:31:05,700 --> 01:31:10,600
are able to establish any type
of consistent running game and
1605
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:16,000
being Efficient if not explosive
in the passing game, I think we
1606
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:17,900
just need to be efficient in the
passing game.
1607
01:31:18,500 --> 01:31:23,000
If we can do those things
against a defense, that's going
1608
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:27,300
to give you those opportunities.
And we, if we can take advantage
1609
01:31:27,300 --> 01:31:31,300
of them, then we've got a chance
here because I think our defense
1610
01:31:31,300 --> 01:31:33,300
is good enough to keep them in
check.
1611
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:36,400
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think they're
1612
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:39,200
going to go out there and
explode for the same type of
1613
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:41,600
points.
They've done not only this year
1614
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,900
but overall I think if we can
hold them in that, you know, mid
1615
01:31:45,900 --> 01:31:49,500
to Upper 20s range, then we have
we have a shot here.
1616
01:31:51,700 --> 01:31:55,400
Absolutely, and again with it
being a wet yucky game, the
1617
01:31:55,400 --> 01:32:00,000
balls definitely going to bounce
funny and again I think we just
1618
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,300
look for improvement, right?
We look for those things Jenkins
1619
01:32:03,300 --> 01:32:05,800
has been Jenkins talked about
with the The beginning of the
1620
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:08,000
episode about cleaning up the
penalties about discipline
1621
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:12,300
playing together.
It's things like that that are
1622
01:32:12,300 --> 01:32:15,900
going to get further.
We're losing games, we're not
1623
01:32:15,900 --> 01:32:18,500
fighting on the sidelines,
right?
1624
01:32:18,900 --> 01:32:21,000
Yep.
There's they're hanging in it
1625
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,900
together.
So, you know, going to be
1626
01:32:23,900 --> 01:32:26,600
interesting to see how it goes.
Alright, Brawn.
1627
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:30,100
So let's talk about our big
screen or for the week here,
1628
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:33,600
I'll lead with this one, it's
going to be 7:30, it's going to
1629
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,600
be in Death Valley.
Top 10 matchup of ACC teams.
1630
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:41,600
Clemson versus NC State likely
to be on the back end of a
1631
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:44,600
hurricane when that game kicks.
I think that's what they're
1632
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:47,200
saying, right?
It's going to be slowly.
1633
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:52,100
Moving away from Clemson as the
game comes in NC State's a six
1634
01:32:52,100 --> 01:32:56,900
and a half Point dog.
In with this one I think NC
1635
01:32:56,900 --> 01:32:58,300
State's going to cover that six
and a half.
1636
01:32:58,300 --> 01:32:59,800
I think it's good.
This is going to be a war.
1637
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:01,000
Like it was it?
Wait.
1638
01:33:01,700 --> 01:33:04,300
I got to watch the last quarter
and a half.
1639
01:33:04,300 --> 01:33:07,900
That was such Entertaining
football game in every sense of
1640
01:33:07,900 --> 01:33:12,000
the word way you can Clemson but
I think Clemson's going to get
1641
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:15,300
them in the something fluky, I
think it's going to be like a
1642
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:21,400
31-28 game and Clemson wins and
the closing minutes with you
1643
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:24,100
know what what?
Whatever they've had stuck up
1644
01:33:24,100 --> 01:33:31,300
there for the last decade.
Yeah, my big one is going to be
1645
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,100
the big new term an Kentucky Ole
Miss.
1646
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:37,900
Brides already planning knowing
that he's not going to be able
1647
01:33:37,900 --> 01:33:40,500
to do anything outside, any yard
work.
1648
01:33:40,700 --> 01:33:42,900
Let's go ahead and circle the
12:00.
1649
01:33:42,900 --> 01:33:46,000
Maybe maybe maybe cook a nice
little heavy lunch.
1650
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,800
They're getting the main.
Yeah, I'm either going to be,
1651
01:33:49,100 --> 01:33:51,300
I'm either going to be here or
down in Virginia Beach.
1652
01:33:51,300 --> 01:33:57,100
So, okay, depending on what the
how quickly the weather gets
1653
01:33:57,100 --> 01:34:00,600
into town is going to determine
whether we take a trip down
1654
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:03,200
there to to my in-laws, this
weekend, or not.
1655
01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:08,300
But either way Going to be
football on a big screen
1656
01:34:09,500 --> 01:34:12,700
somewhere start at noon and it's
going to be Kentucky, Ole Miss
1657
01:34:13,300 --> 01:34:16,700
Ole Miss home, favorite six and
a half points.
1658
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:20,400
I'm taking Kentucky and the six
and a half here.
1659
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:25,400
I think Ole Miss probably wins
this one but I like Kentucky to
1660
01:34:25,700 --> 01:34:31,500
hang in there and keep it close.
Think we'll see to have another
1661
01:34:31,500 --> 01:34:35,700
big game for Kentucky, but I
think Ole Miss It's just has a
1662
01:34:35,700 --> 01:34:37,900
little bit more Firepower,
that's going to close it down in
1663
01:34:37,900 --> 01:34:40,000
the end.
Yeah but I think the Stoops
1664
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:42,600
defense will keep them in there
but that is going to be.
1665
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:45,700
The one thing is we know Lane
can scheme the hell out of
1666
01:34:45,700 --> 01:34:50,000
things on offense and exploit
just enough times to be leaked,
1667
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:52,800
defense has a couple other news
and notes.
1668
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:56,200
We didn't hit it earlier because
we were running a little late.
1669
01:34:56,800 --> 01:35:00,800
The West Virginia game, Thursday
night was ESPN's, highest
1670
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:04,300
Thursday night game in five
years, and that was the Egg Bowl
1671
01:35:04,300 --> 01:35:11,100
back in 20. 17, 1.6 million
viewers and between 9:00 and
1672
01:35:11,100 --> 01:35:13,700
9:30.
It was a little over 2 million
1673
01:35:14,100 --> 01:35:16,000
and it is some people are going
to say, well, that's not a huge
1674
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:19,100
number.
You're competing against the NFL
1675
01:35:19,300 --> 01:35:22,100
which started only 40 minutes
after we kick.
1676
01:35:22,900 --> 01:35:26,900
And one of those Brands being
Pittsburgh being literally, one
1677
01:35:26,900 --> 01:35:31,100
of the big National brand.
So, you know, again, it was one
1678
01:35:31,100 --> 01:35:33,700
of the three biggest brands and
in the sport.
1679
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,700
Yeah.
So doing That I think that again
1680
01:35:36,700 --> 01:35:40,500
it shows you where we are still.
If we play a night game we're
1681
01:35:40,500 --> 01:35:45,600
still going to get people to
turn out fans and casuals alike
1682
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,300
or a drawing.
We're a drone not just for the
1683
01:35:48,300 --> 01:35:52,200
interns.
They peaked take the 9:00.
1684
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:54,900
Well actually, it's exactly.
Yeah.
1685
01:35:55,200 --> 01:36:00,000
The other couple big news was
Jeff Collins getting fired, kind
1686
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:05,300
of shocked that they dry them a
little bit further but I mean I
1687
01:36:05,308 --> 01:36:09,200
thought he had the rest of this
year or at least until November,
1688
01:36:11,300 --> 01:36:15,200
but I mean we've already seen.
There's testing.
1689
01:36:15,900 --> 01:36:22,000
There's the optimum September.
Yeah, so you don't you don't see
1690
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:27,500
the September firing very often
not it happens, the 80s gone
1691
01:36:27,500 --> 01:36:31,800
there as well.
So they are kind of starting
1692
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:35,000
from scratch there and they're
in that department in terms of
1693
01:36:35,100 --> 01:36:40,300
Adding that that brand back up.
Well no now it makes sense.
1694
01:36:40,300 --> 01:36:43,300
If you're going to fire the ad
then you go in fire, the head
1695
01:36:43,300 --> 01:36:45,500
coach.
So when that ad walks in he
1696
01:36:45,500 --> 01:36:48,200
knows job one.
And actually, he can sit across
1697
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:50,300
the table from you in the
interviews and tell you who he's
1698
01:36:50,300 --> 01:36:53,800
going after and what he's going.
After, what you can see that
1699
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,300
they need a different Vision, it
wasn't just, can I bring in a
1700
01:36:57,308 --> 01:37:01,900
guy that has that young has
energy can recruit And can and
1701
01:37:01,900 --> 01:37:03,900
can put a competent team out
there.
1702
01:37:04,900 --> 01:37:10,700
That wasn't enough early.
I think Collins Didn't really
1703
01:37:10,700 --> 01:37:13,300
conform to the role as well as
they thought.
1704
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:19,100
I think there were, there were
times where they, the coaching
1705
01:37:19,100 --> 01:37:22,000
staff hurt themselves.
Just as much as the opponent
1706
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:27,700
did.
But in the same time, I think
1707
01:37:27,700 --> 01:37:30,700
they're looking for a completely
different direction at this
1708
01:37:30,700 --> 01:37:32,800
point because I don't, I don't
think they.
1709
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:35,700
I think they see, they can't
just go back to apologize.
1710
01:37:35,700 --> 01:37:42,400
Onsen, you know, Academy Style.
Offense and have success but
1711
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:47,700
they also can't just throw the
flavor of the week you know
1712
01:37:47,700 --> 01:37:51,800
offensive-minded spread system
in there and just you plug and
1713
01:37:51,808 --> 01:37:55,100
play.
They had some good players that
1714
01:37:55,100 --> 01:37:59,100
came in there initially Gibbs.
Holy moly herbs.
1715
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:03,000
Yeah, and Jeff Simmons.
Yeah.
1716
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:06,900
But they never were able to put
put the full picture together
1717
01:38:07,900 --> 01:38:12,800
and they ER we're a pretty
sizable rebuild.
1718
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:17,000
They are literally, the
hurricane took the house into
1719
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:20,400
the ocean rebuild.
Yeah, I've been seriously.
1720
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:23,100
Like, it's like, literally,
you're relaying the foundation
1721
01:38:23,100 --> 01:38:24,900
there.
I mean, and Collins had a big
1722
01:38:24,900 --> 01:38:27,600
job.
I mean, going from shrimp.
1723
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:31,200
Allow they were recruiting on
offense to what they were trying
1724
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:33,900
to do with the spread.
I mean, you know, we're seeing
1725
01:38:33,900 --> 01:38:37,000
it now with an opponent.
We play with whatever they're
1726
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,900
trying to do the same thing
right now and it's not Going
1727
01:38:39,900 --> 01:38:46,000
well at all and you know you
talk about square peg, round
1728
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:47,500
hole.
That's, that's very much I
1729
01:38:47,500 --> 01:38:49,600
think.
What, what was happening there?
1730
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:54,400
There wasn't a plan to ease from
one system into another.
1731
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:59,000
It was very much.
A, this is what we're doing, you
1732
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,800
know, get on board or or, or
not.
1733
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:05,600
And I think just there wasn't
enough success.
1734
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:08,600
And there wasn't enough
trajectory that said we're
1735
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:12,700
moving in the right direction.
Direction at this point where
1736
01:39:12,700 --> 01:39:15,400
the product on the field was
acceptable anymore.
1737
01:39:16,300 --> 01:39:19,400
There you go.
Brian.
1738
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:22,800
I'm looking here at CBS Sports,
looks like some games are
1739
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:27,200
getting moved to Sunday Eastern
Washington and Florida.
1740
01:39:28,700 --> 01:39:33,300
You see, FSM, you know, change
to Wake Forest, Florida state
1741
01:39:33,300 --> 01:39:38,900
yet, South Carolina and he threw
the ultimate Clausen through the
1742
01:39:38,900 --> 01:39:42,100
ultimatum out there, though.
So we'll see if he stands by it.
1743
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:49,500
Well, I mean it is what it is.
I'm South Carolina and all this
1744
01:39:49,500 --> 01:39:52,000
is suck.
South Carolina are see the south
1745
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:57,500
Florida and East Carolina.
Originally scheduled to kick at
1746
01:39:57,500 --> 01:39:59,700
Raymond.
James Stadium, are going to go
1747
01:39:59,700 --> 01:40:03,100
to Boca, they're going to the
other side of the state to play.
1748
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:10,200
Oh Cam and it'll kick off at
2:00 and other me that that
1749
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:12,800
Tampa side is going to get, get
hit pretty good.
1750
01:40:13,100 --> 01:40:15,600
Well, I talked to my buddy, Mike
at work today, you know, it's
1751
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,500
been 100 years since a took a
direct hit from a hurricane.
1752
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:21,500
Man, that's insane.
Like me.
1753
01:40:21,500 --> 01:40:23,300
And him were just, I'm like,
serious.
1754
01:40:23,300 --> 01:40:26,000
And then you start thinking
about it, it has an IT wrecks
1755
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:27,200
there.
I mean, it's going to really
1756
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:30,200
wrecked South Carolina.
South Carolina, state moves to
1757
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:33,700
Thursday night, Shane.
Beamer did that strictly because
1758
01:40:33,700 --> 01:40:36,800
he knows he has a war on his
hands against Kentucky next
1759
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:38,200
week.
Might as well get two extra days
1760
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:40,300
of prep.
Right there we go.
1761
01:40:40,500 --> 01:40:43,600
Nothing wrong.
That will see if clausen's
1762
01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:46,200
ultimatum holds holds tight
there.
1763
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:54,000
Well the weird part is it's the
Saturday, it's going to be
1764
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,700
further up the coast.
Now if you talk about it's
1765
01:40:56,700 --> 01:40:59,000
dangerous travel and I don't my
kids stay there.
1766
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:07,100
I get it completely.
So move the game to 7:00 or move
1767
01:41:07,100 --> 01:41:10,100
your flight up.
So you're there a day early and
1768
01:41:10,100 --> 01:41:12,500
you can prep in other
facilities?
1769
01:41:12,700 --> 01:41:15,000
Yeah, who knows?
It's going to be interesting
1770
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:17,400
weekend.
All right, since nothing else is
1771
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:18,300
breaking that.
I see.
1772
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:20,700

00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:44,300
Child on the podcast, man.
Man, we really appreciate you
19
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:47,300
taking a few minutes out of your
hectic, schedule this week.
20
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:50,600
Obviously, little hate week.
It's Carolina week.
21
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,500
You guys are traveling Chapel
Hill.
22
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,100
We really appreciate you taking
time.
23
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,200
Obviously, we know between
school, practicing, all that you
24
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,100
are a busy guy.
Starting Sam linebacker for the
25
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:03,300
school.
We thank you for taking your
26
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:06,400
time to talk with us a little
bit tonight.
27
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:10,199
Yeah.
Yeah we're going to lead off
28
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:14,100
with this, you know, the big
thing coming into the seasons.
29
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:16,000
The big, the big position switch
for you, right?
30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,500
Moving from safety down to Sam
linebacker.
31
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,400
So your four games into the
position that you did really
32
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,000
think you be playing kind of
especially at the end of last
33
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,500
season coming at the start of
this season.
34
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:29,500
You know, but we've seen some
really good on feel results.
35
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:31,700
So far.
How do you feel the adjustment
36
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:33,200
to play in?
Sam is gone for you at this
37
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,000
point in the season, I think it
was a great opportunity for me.
38
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,100
I think it was probably one of
the best things I probably
39
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:42,100
happen for me to get on the
field and be able to make plays
40
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:45,600
and just build my resume with my
name.
41
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,000
The change was different, it was
very unexpected but I try to
42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
make an opportunity and just
take it head-on.
43
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:57,200
Absolutely and obviously you
know we were chit-chatting right
44
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,400
before Chianti jumped on here
and we were talking about that
45
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,100
hit it BC.
Well, you caught that guy about
46
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:05,100
seven yards behind the line of
scrimmage.
47
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,300
Him, Dom Brown was in the crowd
that night and I love what you
48
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:11,000
said.
You said, when you made that hit
49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,700
and you heard the crowd about
how electric it was, man, how
50
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,500
like they're very, let you.
But what are those feelings?
51
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,000
Like when you're in front of
main stadium and you make a big
52
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,600
play, you know, how does that
feel?
53
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:23,100
Does that does that take your
address?
54
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:27,600
To a level unseen.
Yeah, Jenna to be pumping.
55
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,700
You want to tear it down?
You make a big play in a bad
56
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:31,900
field.
Tackle for loss.
57
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,900
I mean the crowd going crazy,
players, going crazy, everybody
58
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:39,600
going crazy.
It just unreal moment.
59
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,400
A very unreal moment for me.
I saw that I love that.
60
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:48,900
It's all being in the crowd.
I mean, you just you heard the
61
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:53,800
like it was.
Yeah, we saw it coming to.
62
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,600
We saw it coming.
It was dead to rights before you
63
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,700
even got there.
So with the adjustments you know
64
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,300
is it has it been a lot like or
is it still that style of play?
65
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:08,500
You brought, you know, coming in
as a safety?
66
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:12,300
Is it still a lot of things you
can key on from plane safety?
67
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,300
With with other side, I tend to
take a lot of my attributes from
68
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:20,200
safety as in covering him
covering wise and just speed and
69
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,700
just being more athletic than
more Lyman, that I'd be have to
70
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:25,500
go against.
But the more challenging part of
71
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:30,100
be, just when I'm actually in a
box are just this seeing lime
72
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:32,300
and Senior Keys, a little fast,
I'm closer to the ball.
73
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:35,200
So things happen a little faster
but I definitely think the
74
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,500
transition from safety down till
I'm back.
75
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,200
Give me a most Advantage, most
advantage of a lot of teams, a
76
00:04:40,207 --> 00:04:44,000
lot of players because I have a
Very match speed.
77
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,900
When I'm either come across the
edge or even covering tight
78
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:48,500
ends, it seem more natural to
me.
79
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:52,500
Yeah, it's a new close to the
ball.
80
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:55,100
I mean I can definitely see you
making plays in the backfield a
81
00:04:55,108 --> 00:04:57,300
lot more tackles for loss.
So that I mean that's that's a
82
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:00,800
big asset for the team for sure
abso-freakin'-lutely.
83
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,100
And so far this year, I mean
we've talked about a couple
84
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:06,700
tight ends and I know against
BC, I mean, they're guy had a
85
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:10,300
big week 1 against Rutgers.
We didn't hear his name called
86
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:13,300
too much and I know, you know,
you were part of that which is
87
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:16,400
awesome to hear.
Let me go with this.
88
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,000
Let's talk about last Thursday
night, just a little bit, you
89
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,100
know, rough lost to us.
Virginia after that game, what
90
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:25,300
was coach prize matches to the
team, emotional loss?
91
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:29,000
You know at home rivalry game
you know what was his message to
92
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,900
you guys in the locker room
after that game?
93
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:36,400
I mean, the biggest, the biggest
part I got his message with just
94
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,600
sticking together playing
together.
95
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,300
Being one sale, just all believe
in and fighting all the way to
96
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:46,500
the end.
Just having a will to win coach
97
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:48,000
browser.
Very competitive coach.
98
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,800
He, he won't all his people to
be competitive, so just just to
99
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,800
compete all the way to the end.
Follow it to the end, and just
100
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,800
be more disciplined.
I think that was probably one of
101
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,900
the biggest things to being
disciplined.
102
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:05,100
Has the has the focus on the
competitiveness, you know.
103
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:09,400
It does that have anything to do
with some of the penalties that
104
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,000
we've come up with, is it just
like pressing or is it just
105
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,600
playing kind of outside of the
framework, trying to trying to
106
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,000
compete that every rep or is
just a combination of a lot of
107
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,800
different things?
I think it just competitiveness
108
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,300
in the motion competitiveness,
and emotion, take over and big
109
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:29,500
gains.
And sometimes people rely more
110
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:32,700
on these skills and technique,
but coach by always close your
111
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:33,900
eyes.
A bit fundamental guy.
112
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,900
He preached the technique just
doing the fundamentals and just
113
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:40,200
playing within the framework.
And I think, once we get that
114
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,100
down and once we all become
together and show how poisonous
115
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:47,500
is and how it changed the game
will be a very more productive.
116
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:52,700
I like that.
Yeah, and speaking of those
117
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:56,500
penalties you know been hit hard
by both of those in both of the
118
00:06:56,500 --> 00:06:58,000
losses at this point in the
season.
119
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:01,000
Has that been a point of
emphasis during those Sunday
120
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
correction practices that you
guys have been having and how
121
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,200
those practices helped in
preparing for the next week's
122
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,600
opponent.
It Dyna correction print, a
123
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:15,500
correction practice on Sunday as
being a very, very emphasized on
124
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:17,700
penalties.
And how much if we just take the
125
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:21,100
pennies away and make them earn
everything, how much the results
126
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:23,200
of change?
So coach, probably definitely
127
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,500
preaches, making them learn and
not giving it to.
128
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:29,100
So, we doing that.
I think that cat is all came up
129
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:33,400
with a plan to help everybody.
Just notice how important a pill
130
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,900
and he's a high point, a change,
the game's definitely a bit Time
131
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:39,500
moments later on 4th are late
Downs on fourth down that they
132
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:42,800
can change.
It and I tell you what it is, it
133
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,700
is showing with this defense.
When you guys are forcing teams
134
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:49,900
to drive the fields, they make
mistakes, you know, we saw the
135
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:53,600
fumble against West Virginia,
we've seen the pics, we've seen
136
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,200
the big tackles for loss.
We've seen them in bad down and
137
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,700
distances.
So I love that emphasis and I
138
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:02,700
love that I can hear it in your
voice like you know, like we
139
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:04,000
clean this up.
Yeah.
140
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,800
There's not a lot of teams that
are going to consistently move
141
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,900
the ball on us.
They're going to make mistakes.
142
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:10,500
They're gonna take big.
Glosses.
143
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:13,200
And it's awesome to hear that.
And it's awesome to hear that.
144
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,400
It sounds like there's things in
place that, you know, that you
145
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,500
guys are working towards to
clean it up.
146
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,100
Yes, let's flip over.
Let's talk about some of your
147
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:27,300
coaches here.
So, your coach is your coach
148
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,600
position coaches Coach Quin.
One of the new coaches here, but
149
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,000
obviously, that's a position.
We know it's working some with
150
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,799
the defensive backs and Coach
Priscilla.
151
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,799
We know it's working with Coach
Marv with the mic in the way.
152
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:45,500
What is that Dynamic like
between, you know, those three
153
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:49,800
coaches since you probably get
to see them more on a daily
154
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,400
basis than other groups.
I think just being coached by
155
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,000
all three of them.
Just give me a vintage advantage
156
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,300
in the learning process because
I'm getting insane coaching with
157
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:02,300
Coach Quin.
Coach Quin is a very detailed
158
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:04,900
coach with detail.
And there goes, mark this
159
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:08,300
energetic and just playing
playing behind the line of
160
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:10,300
scrimmage and being a force and
being the hammer.
161
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,200
Then you got Coach P with just
how he coaches his easy to
162
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,300
understand.
So I me, I'll watch film with
163
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:19,400
the safety's, a large, and I
watch film with the line because
164
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,500
I like getting feedback from
everyone just improve my game.
165
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
So I definitely go to all three
coaches for help with anything
166
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,100
that I need and they all give it
to me.
167
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,100
I absolutely loved it.
That Chris Mark talks about
168
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:36,600
bringing the hammer down.
And I mean, coach Prelude, I
169
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,600
mean, you know, he is one of the
EOS one of The Originals back
170
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,300
when we, we told you, we told
you we'd like, 95 was like our
171
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:45,400
first year coach Prelude on
those teams.
172
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,200
And then, you know, a guy, how
is he looked at?
173
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,800
Because you guys are of the age
coach Prelude, when you were
174
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,200
younger was still in the league,
he's got that ring with the st.
175
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,200
We're like.
Is he one of those guys when he
176
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,800
speaks is it kind of, like, do
does everybody's head turned in
177
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,700
the room because of who he is,
you know, as an originator of DB
178
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:11,800
you and then all that time
league and now he's back
179
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,800
coaching at his alma mater.
Coach the Coach P.
180
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,600
Got one of the voices when he
when he told everybody just
181
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,300
listens, it will just listens
and he witnessed his parents had
182
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:24,200
a lead.
He know what it takes to be
183
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,800
great.
He played here, he played on
184
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,000
championship teams, he played on
very good teams so he know what
185
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,200
it takes to be great and to get
the v t, as a hold of e.t.
186
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,000
Defense to where they need to be
to win games.
187
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,100
So, we take all our details and
all the information they give
188
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:40,100
us, we take it in and put it on
the field, man.
189
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:43,300
That is that is awesome.
I mean, it's awesome because you
190
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:45,300
just feel that Which coach for a
loop.
191
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:48,300
Let's talk a little bit about
Coach point because, you know,
192
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:52,900
obviously he is your specific
position coach, is he is genuine
193
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:54,700
behind the scenes.
Is it seen publicly?
194
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:58,300
I mean we always see him out
there, you know, breaking bread
195
00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:02,300
hokey style, the man is finding,
you know, the diner's, he is the
196
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:05,600
Diners Drive-Ins and Dives king
of Virginia Tech Twitter because
197
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:08,900
he's asked any he's being
genuine.
198
00:11:08,900 --> 00:11:11,400
He's asked us fans like, you
know, I'm in Richmond today.
199
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,700
What's a good spot?
What's a good?
200
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:14,000
Local spot.
I can try.
201
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,800
Is he like that behind the
scenes and, you know, yeah, I
202
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,500
think coach clear, probably one
of the coaches who he, who, he,
203
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:24,200
who he is every day, he the same
guy every day.
204
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,100
I mean and then we'll definitely
with the.
205
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:28,100
He inspires.
I'm a type of person.
206
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:29,600
I don't eat.
I don't eat out a lot.
207
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,000
I don't try different.
He always try to introduce me to
208
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
new things to eat or hanging
out, just to get me to be just
209
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,300
more like, just those floor,
more be more social.
210
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:43,000
So, yeah, he wanted a, if I come
in, if I come to practice with a
211
00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:46,400
down, I had, A bad as him, you
know, how to uplift.
212
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,500
You always did smiling it, you
have a joke for you too.
213
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,700
So it's good.
How coach going around that fly
214
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:54,800
high energy and positive energy.
That's awesome.
215
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,700
Yeah, it's good to have guys
that you know, that, you know,
216
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,500
if things are going are too
high, too low.
217
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:02,300
They're always going to be the
same thing to you.
218
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:05,100
They going, they're going to do
with give you what you need to
219
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,700
get you, right.
Whether that's bring you down a
220
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:10,100
little bit of lift you up a
little bit, so it's always good
221
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:12,000
to have that type of presence on
the team for sure.
222
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,800
Let's let's pivot a little a bit
to what we're going to look at
223
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:21,900
this week with, with UNC.
Obviously, the big big talk
224
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:24,300
right now is everything
happening on with the weather.
225
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,000
We're looking at potential
hurricane game part two with,
226
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,900
with UNC down in Chapel Hill has
as coach Pride coach Mark Coach
227
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:38,000
Quin Coach P low have they
talked about potential weather
228
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,500
conditions on Saturday and how
that can potentially affect the
229
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:44,600
preparation for y'all.
That's we, as of I haven't
230
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:47,900
haven't talked about it a lot a
lot, but I know that it's being
231
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:51,800
brought up.
We have like different, like
232
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:54,400
different.
I want to see things that will
233
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,700
go to if it become a hurricane
game with different strategy
234
00:12:57,700 --> 00:12:59,700
with different scheme.
Different things that we bet
235
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:02,400
that we've seen from in the past
would have passed them to think
236
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,200
they like to go to it.
Just how comfortable they'll be
237
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,300
what this weather condition but
coach prize one of them guys.
238
00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:08,800
You did.
He.
239
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,200
This is this is like what he'd
like he want us to be in the
240
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,900
trenches.
He want us to be the worst.
241
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,500
The worst, they can be just to
go ahead and perform, so I'm
242
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:22,900
pretty sure he excited.
If it was a hurricane, I played
243
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:27,100
in one of those type of games
before and it's intense, but you
244
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:30,700
gotta win in the trenches.
And that's the big thing that if
245
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:32,400
you're not winning in the
trenches, it's going to be a
246
00:13:32,408 --> 00:13:35,900
long, long day.
Well, I'm sitting here thinking,
247
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:38,500
right now, the way key, I'm just
describing coach Frey, like,
248
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:40,900
coach prize, probably at The
Weather Channel tonight.
249
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Yeah.
Yeah, 3:30.
250
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:47,100
It's going to be pouring down
rain and 15 mile an hour.
251
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:50,400
Winds.
Yes, one inch of rain between 11
252
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:56,200
a.m. and 7 p.m. bring it on.
Thanks coach frightened that
253
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,100
Flint to hear, man.
Let me guess this about about
254
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:06,300
you and see is there, is there a
specific component of their
255
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,700
offense?
That has kind of been an
256
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,700
emphasis for you in the
preparation so far this week?
257
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:14,900
Biz mainly stopping the Run game
stopped on the ranking.
258
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:17,600
They got a nice quarterback,
nice town in the quarterback so
259
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,400
just making him uncomfortable,
trying to get some as much as
260
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,100
you can but just as of right
now, just stopping the ranking.
261
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:27,500
Yeah.
And that's going to be key with
262
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:30,400
that weather for sure.
Absolutely.
263
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:33,300
Alright.
Before we before we let you out
264
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:37,400
of here, get you some rest.
You've kind of already said it
265
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,000
you not a big going out to eat
guy but obviously you've been in
266
00:14:40,008 --> 00:14:43,900
Blacksburg since 2020.
You know, this is now your third
267
00:14:43,900 --> 00:14:46,300
year.
There what is sort of your food
268
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:51,100
spot to go to in Blacksburg?
I me as a recently.
269
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:54,100
I've been trying to the space
right there by Waffle House.
270
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,400
It's called black so black,
okay.
271
00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:01,200
Okay, yeah, black wings are so
big.
272
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,400
How sweet chili.
I think, since we typically
273
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:09,200
know, my favorite thing, double
back in the same day, a man
274
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,600
after my own heart, we got a
local spot that does some sweet
275
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,000
chili Wings, pretty good here.
So, we were right on the same.
276
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,400
Wavelength are like Sophia for
those who are watching in the
277
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,900
Blacksburg area.
Y'all need to go buy black salt,
278
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:24,600
tell them Kiante Jenkins should
be getting a sponsor.
279
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,600
And then I'll deal to talk about
the sweet chili Wings, babe.
280
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,000
I got some good wings.
I like awesome Wilkie on te, you
281
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,600
know, we really again, we
really, really appreciate you
282
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,900
taking out a few minutes of your
day to talk with us to talk with
283
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:43,700
Hokie Nation, you know, best of
luck on Saturday.
284
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:46,700
We will be watching you because
I think we're probably me and
285
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:49,000
Brian we're talking we're pretty
determined that it's probably
286
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
going to be rainy so we're not
going to get much done.
287
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,500
So we're going to be sitting in
Iron man, caves screaming Arlo
288
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:57,700
Lungs out and hoping we got
nothing but the college football
289
00:15:57,700 --> 00:15:59,500
all day with the Hokies very
3:30.
290
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:02,900
Ryofu.
If it will fit an energy, man
291
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:06,900
will feel the energy from Chapel
Hill, good.
292
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,300
You you continue to do what you
do, man.
293
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:17,300
You know, Play Hard Play Smart
in continue to be that sort of,
294
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:19,400
you know, like talking with us
tonight, man.
295
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
You know, it again is
appreciated and we can see that
296
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,800
not only does playing football
for this school mean a lot to
297
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,700
you, but this school in general
means a lot to you.
298
00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:32,600
And, you know, we Really
appreciate that man and you take
299
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,900
care of yourself and hopefully
next time we're in Blacksburg
300
00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:37,900
will look you up.
Thank you, thank you for having
301
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:39,100
me.
I'm very blessed to be on the
302
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:40,200
park.
It's nice to have.
303
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:47,600
You got there?
All right buddy.
304
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:50,200
Well there we go.
There's the first part of our
305
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,200
episode.
We got to talk with Keyon to
306
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,400
Jenkins again.
We really appreciate him for
307
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,900
coming on.
We really appreciate Travis
308
00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:02,700
Wells for giving us the
opportunity.
309
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,099
Travis thank you, man.
You don't know, you know, with
310
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:10,300
two guys that just started a fun
podcast in February at 2020.
311
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:13,000
I don't think.
I think Wildest Dreams Braun,
312
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,200
you know.
We've got an interview to White
313
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,400
and Darrell and now, you know,
interviewing something like when
314
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,200
like kyanka, who clearly on this
team this year is making an
315
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,500
impact.
It's Sam big-time rising star on
316
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:27,500
the team for sure big-time
Rising Star.
317
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,200
Absolutely.
So we'll go ahead and shut that
318
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,000
and we're going to move on.
And we've got to recap it
319
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,400
unfortunately, you know, Kiante
just talked about it.
320
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,100
There about Coach prize, message
about being disciplined about
321
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:42,800
sticking together throughout it.
But we do need to take a look
322
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,000
back at Virginia and you know,
talk about a few things.
323
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,500
Obviously, everybody watch
Thursday night hook.
324
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:53,800
He's go down 3310 to The
Mountaineers in the Black
325
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,300
Diamond trophy game Hokies go to
2 and 2.
326
00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:00,400
And you know what we've been
doing normally is we've been
327
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,600
kind of looking offense defense
but now we're four games in,
328
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600
right?
Brian and you were having a
329
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:12,200
conversation on Friday You know.
What can be fixed, what can't be
330
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,700
fixed?
What's going well, and what's
331
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,000
kind of still that TBD Dairy.
So that's how we're going to
332
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,400
kind of dress it tonight.
And, and I love that Keon.
333
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,100
So, kind of already talked about
it as we led, the episode talked
334
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:25,200
about being disciplined, talked
about them working on the
335
00:18:25,208 --> 00:18:28,200
penalties, because that is
probably one of the biggest
336
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,800
things that we've already seen
it fixed once.
337
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,600
But now, can they get back in
one more time and get it
338
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,000
corrected and keep it correct.
What do you think Ron?
339
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:38,900
Yeah, I think it's the
consistency with it and I like
340
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:41,600
that.
I know he alluded to it with
341
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,300
the, with the question.
There we saw it come down with
342
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:46,400
the, with the interview with
prior today.
343
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:51,100
Captains have instituted, you
know, some some sort of
344
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:57,500
Correction punishment should
penalties like this continue.
345
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:01,100
I think that, you know, having
that incentive, I think that's a
346
00:19:01,108 --> 00:19:02,500
good incentive to have for the
team.
347
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:06,200
It makes them accountable for,
for what they do on the field.
348
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:09,200
And, you know, again, it's a
correctable thing.
349
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:14,400
We've Got we got a lot of
penalties that lengthened drives
350
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:22,900
into drives, you know, another
15 for 132 total you like to cut
351
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:24,900
both of those numbers at least
in half.
352
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,400
Yes, at least in half at least
in half.
353
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,600
So you know if we were in that
six to seven for 460 65, you
354
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,100
know, I wouldn't have as much to
complain about.
355
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:40,800
But you know, when you get kind
of in that 10 to 15 range.
356
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,100
That's when it's like, all
right, some of these are are
357
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:47,300
ones that we shouldn't be
committing and it hurts even
358
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:50,200
more when you have ones that
are, you know, those, those
359
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,100
Drive killers in those Drive
extenders.
360
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:54,700
Those are the ones that take
points off the board, put points
361
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:57,400
on the board for the other team.
Absolutely I want to give a
362
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,200
shout out here.
David Cunningham put a really
363
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,300
good tweet at the end of that
game, talking about penalties.
364
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,200
And you know the pi pass is.
I think the aggressiveness of
365
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,400
the defense we're just going to
see more and I read We'll do it.
366
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,400
Put up one of the posters on TS
L said, you know, we're already
367
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:16,000
at the number of pi penalties of
where we were last year.
368
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:19,500
But the god honest truth is our,
our pest defense is a hell of a
369
00:20:19,508 --> 00:20:21,600
lot better than it was last year
already.
370
00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:25,500
So are you okay, you know, can
you live with extra penalties?
371
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,300
If overall the defense is
better?
372
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:31,700
I think we absolutely can, but
it's the other shit that kind of
373
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:33,700
drives us crazy.
Indefinitely rise.
374
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:38,000
Brian crazy, two false starts
and illegal substitution in the
375
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,900
legal snap and offside.
There will be a delay of game
376
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:44,200
penalty.
Those are the ones that just
377
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:46,200
their nicking you.
Well, that's up here.
378
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,900
Yeah, it's up here.
Yeah, there you go.
379
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:51,900
It's one thing to be in the
moment and make a mistake.
380
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:57,900
It's another thing to make a
mental error and especially when
381
00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:01,000
you making those mental errors
in your own stadium, you know,
382
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,300
it's not you're not affected by
the crowd noise.
383
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:09,200
You're not affected by, you
know, these ancillary factors of
384
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,200
the game, you're affected by
your mental state.
385
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,400
You got to make sure that you're
playing smart and I think we
386
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,500
need to see a little bit more of
that.
387
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:22,500
And I think the accountability
is going to help on that front
388
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:25,600
because now you're just your
teammate.
389
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,100
Accountability is important.
But teammate.
390
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:30,700
Accountability that has, you
know, something behind it.
391
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:36,100
I think you know is only going
to reinforce that but it's also
392
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:40,500
good to know that coach pry not
stuck in his ways right because
393
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:42,400
clearly they have there had been
things done.
394
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:46,000
Prior to attempt to fix the
penalties and he's not going
395
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,400
back to the well, one more time.
He's immediately saying, okay,
396
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,100
we need to make a change for it
because, you know, it's, it's
397
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:54,700
linked, it's reared, its head
again.
398
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,500
So clearly what he said were two
data points is enough.
399
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,200
Yeah I don't I don't need any
more data points to say that we
400
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,400
need to address this differently
so you got to respect him.
401
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,800
Not just sitting back and
saying, we do what we do.
402
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:14,300
You know if things become a
Bigger problem than he he sees,
403
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:18,400
or than they should be.
Then they are addressed, you
404
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,000
know, whether whether this turns
out in helps on the field, but
405
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,300
at least, you know, you're not
just saying our, we're going to
406
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:25,800
do what we do.
This is what we do.
407
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:28,200
Yeah, keep it moving, keep it
moving.
408
00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:31,800
Now, we are going to kind of go
a little bit towards the game
409
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,800
itself, those rest for fucking
horrible.
410
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:38,200
And if you only want to get
Brian hot asking about hands to
411
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,300
the face, the one that they got
Pollard on Brian's texted me.
412
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,300
Fucking bullshit.
They've done it to us at least
413
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:47,900
four times.
If you're going to call it,
414
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,000
throw it both ways because it's
clearly there in front of you
415
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:53,300
for them.
That was my probably I'll be
416
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,500
look at the replay.
It's obvious foul on Pollard.
417
00:22:55,500 --> 00:23:00,300
I mean, it is what it is.
But, yeah, I mean between that,
418
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:05,600
and Milam holding, every time
they went to the perimeter,
419
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,400
like, every time, like blatant
holding, every time they ran ran
420
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,800
the ball to the perimeter.
Like, You know, flags are flags,
421
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,600
mistakes are mistakes, but call
it both ways, call it both ways,
422
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:22,400
and then don't call bullshit.
Because that personal foul
423
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,200
roughing the QB on Dax, it was
bullshit Daniel's in his motion
424
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,500
to throw Dax did nothing but
shove he didn't drive him to the
425
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:34,000
ground, he didn't follow with
him.
426
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:37,800
It was simply, he was doing
exactly what you're taught to do
427
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:40,500
drive.
He didn't do anything illegal.
428
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:44,200
He didn't do anything dangerous.
But it seemed like on fourth
429
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,100
down.
That was the time that there's a
430
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:48,400
flag.
It wasn't in even though I think
431
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,800
at that point in time was a
six-point game, they would go
432
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,500
score the touchdown and turn it
to 13.
433
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:57,700
It was a momentum swinging flag.
Do I think we could have drove
434
00:23:57,700 --> 00:23:58,900
the film potentially taking the
lead?
435
00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:01,700
Probably not offense.
Did not look good on Thursday
436
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:04,800
night, especially in the second
half, especially in the second
437
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,300
half.
I mean, at least the first half,
438
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:08,300
we had some moves.
We had some chances the second
439
00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:10,700
half just look Dreadful.
The second half.
440
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:12,200
We had scoring opportunity.
I'm sorry.
441
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:14,000
The first half, we had scored
opportunities.
442
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,900
We put 10 on the board in the
second half.
443
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,900
Yeah yeah.
So you know I just don't like
444
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:25,900
that like because you're
essentially taking every
445
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:30,000
opportunity the defense has a
way because that being a penalty
446
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,200
basically makes every
quarterback just say well I'm
447
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,700
going to throw it because if
he's going to throw the flag
448
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,600
whether I complete the pass or
not we're going to get a first
449
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,700
down so yeah.
All right, let's go to something
450
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:43,800
else and it's actually I love to
have any countdown because some
451
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,400
of the points were talking about
it sounds like Daria.
452
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,600
Dressing and it's talking about
the pressing of the players and
453
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,800
one of our good buddies, JJ
Singleton chat with them all the
454
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,600
time, put a little something out
there.
455
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:57,000
Brian, you sort of echo to in
it.
456
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Basically, when he says, when he
says price saying, the that the
457
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,400
players start pressing, he's
basically saying the players are
458
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,500
realizing that individually.
They're outmatched.
459
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:11,500
And when they quit working
together, what was Chianti?
460
00:25:11,500 --> 00:25:13,900
Talking about staying together
working as a team.
461
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,300
That's when the game playing
crumbles.
462
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:25,700
And, you know, the question is,
we saw it in b.c. you are alive
463
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:27,800
at hand.
I watch every snap at the game
464
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,000
here at the house against BC,
they didn't press against BC.
465
00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:36,700
They just let that game come to
them and to this point
466
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,600
definitely the best both sides
of the ball is played.
467
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,800
Yeah, I mean, you thought you
talked to Big about trusting
468
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,700
your Technique leaning on your
Technique instead of you know,
469
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,400
pressing too hard to make a play
if you lean on your Technique,
470
00:25:52,900 --> 00:25:55,400
And you're playing within the
system, you're going to put
471
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,000
yourself in a position to make a
play.
472
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:04,900
You don't need to kind of play
with outside that framework and
473
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,500
yeah, you might, you might get
one play where you blow
474
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:09,300
something up.
But if you keep doing that
475
00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:12,800
consistently, you're going to,
you know, make a stupid penalty
476
00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:16,200
or be out of position because,
you know, you trust your
477
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,100
instincts too much.
Instead of what the what the
478
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:19,700
offense was telling me where the
play is going.
479
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,200
You know, there are a lot of
things there, where, you know,
480
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,200
little things that one or two
players are doing a few plays
481
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,200
here there, and all of a sudden,
You know it's not quite going
482
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,400
the way you want to and you
couple that with with how much
483
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,100
the defense was on the field in
the second half and that's
484
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:39,500
that's kind of why you saw, you
know, a tight game, balloon kind
485
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:42,000
of late as we're going down the
stretch there.
486
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,100
Yeah, absolutely.
And you know, we were struggling
487
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:49,200
on the interior defensive line,
anyway.
488
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,800
So I think to your point when
those guys were trying to press
489
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:55,400
slightly getting out of
position, you play the offensive
490
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,500
line, I'm sure they were.
When you saw an interior
491
00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:00,300
defensive lineman, get out of
position, it was you looked your
492
00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:03,300
chops like well, now I can
easily drive you off your spot
493
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,200
and we're going to be at open
lanes, up, or sometimes run
494
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,800
themselves out of the play where
I get it, I get an extra block.
495
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,500
Now, I've got now down extra man
is blocked because somebody ran
496
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:14,100
themselves out of the play.
Gonna be a hero.
497
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,100
Yep.
So again, I think we've seen
498
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:20,000
quickly already with the
penalties.
499
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,600
Kind of like the pressing.
We kind of, we saw the team
500
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,300
press, two games.
We've seen the team kind of not
501
00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:28,000
press for two games and the
results are, you know, the
502
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
proofs in the pudding.
Let's flip over this because
503
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,500
this is something, you know, pry
seems like one of those guys he
504
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:39,000
is very self-aware and we've
talked about game management,
505
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:42,200
you know, one of the big things
he did.
506
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,700
He said, It straight out.
He did not call a good
507
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:49,600
two-minute situation at the end
of the first half.
508
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,800
He said in and I got from that
was him making the decisions of
509
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,500
they were playing the out of
bounds ball, not using the
510
00:27:58,508 --> 00:28:00,700
middle of the field.
Potential using timeouts, drain
511
00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:03,800
the clock a little bit more.
I see him saying about that.
512
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,000
Also, CM saying how he actually
called defensively, so you know
513
00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:14,000
somebody who's already kind of,
it's the old, you know, if you
514
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,900
know yourself, you can conquer
the world.
515
00:28:15,900 --> 00:28:18,600
It seems like he knows himself.
He's already known where his
516
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,500
errors are.
Let's see.
517
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,600
That's fixed, especially in
those two minute drills and
518
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,300
crucial where he's got to make
decisions.
519
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:29,500
Not only calling the plays, but,
you know, how we attack at the
520
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,600
end of the half here.
Yeah.
521
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:37,700
And you know, I didn't mind
being aggressive with the pass
522
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,700
on some of those down, but as we
said, as we were getting further
523
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:46,500
into that drive and as we got to
third down, let's get ones that
524
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:49,400
are definitely completions.
So even if we don't get the
525
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,200
first down and convert it, you
know the clock runs, we get more
526
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,100
time off of it before we punt
down and give Less West Virginia
527
00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:00,600
less time to have another drive
and get some more points before
528
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,100
half.
In the same goes in the other
529
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:06,000
direction because obviously
there was a couple big plays
530
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,600
there that kind of got them in
the position where they could
531
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,700
score.
So, you know, I like owning it,
532
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:15,900
I like saying, hey, we can still
get better, you know, the staff
533
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:18,900
can still get better, it's still
a work-in-progress everybody
534
00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:23,400
still working to try to get this
thing into a well-oiled machine
535
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,500
and it's not there yet.
We saw that against West
536
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:27,700
Virginia.
I think we have seen that in the
537
00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:30,800
first four games altogether
where where BC is probably the
538
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,900
best.
A three-phase.
539
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,400
Yeah, yeah, plus coaching effort
that we've seen so far, the
540
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,000
other three games.
There are a lot to, to work on
541
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:45,100
and I think, recognizing that
and putting things in place that
542
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:47,700
can help with that or a good
sign of where we're heading.
543
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:50,000
But we got it, we got to start
seeing some of the results to,
544
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,400
right.
Absolutely, we've got to see the
545
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:58,500
results there and I will say one
thing and I don't know how it
546
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,300
didn't.
Get reviewed the pump by Peter
547
00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:03,300
Moore.
Near the end of the first half,
548
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,500
they gave it a Touchback.
I think that needed to be looked
549
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:09,400
at because that ball looked like
it went out about the two inch
550
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,300
line.
It wasn't challenged.
551
00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:13,700
I don't know how that, you know,
I feel like the college, you can
552
00:30:13,708 --> 00:30:16,300
challenge anything every place.
Look at but.
553
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:19,200
Well I mean that that was a
change of possession so it
554
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,800
should have been automatically
reviewed by the booth.
555
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,600
Yeah, but it was no, it's what I
don't like some time out, TV
556
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,900
Productions because you looked
at when I looked at that play it
557
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:29,900
was like I don't know if you
felt like I did.
558
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:32,300
I saw him like holy crap.
He just I'm down at the inch
559
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:35,600
line like and they were running
the ball good.
560
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,900
But when that but we had got
them a couple times in the
561
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:43,100
backfield and it's like is this
a momentum changer where we get
562
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:46,000
aggressive?
Someone blows up the play, but
563
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:48,700
they never showed anything.
We never saw that.
564
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:51,500
It wasn't that classic one that
you see where it actually hits
565
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:54,200
the fucking pile on.
Like usually that oh that's
566
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,600
black and white.
You know, this this was
567
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,700
something that from the angle
and the production that we had
568
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:03,400
it look very Very close.
Like it went out, just short of
569
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,100
the goal line, but actually will
never know.
570
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:10,300
You know, we'll never know TV
producers, don't show us a
571
00:31:10,308 --> 00:31:12,800
couple of the other things.
And I think, we talked about
572
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,700
that game management and I think
he may have kind of showed his
573
00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:18,200
cards a little bit when we went
for it on fourth.
574
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,200
And one he says, this is a team
that has to get those 14 ones.
575
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:25,400
This is a team that, you know,
when it's when we're when we get
576
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,700
down inside the 30.
I think if it's 4th and 1, I
577
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:29,800
think we're going to we're going
to be going forward a lot this
578
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,000
weekend.
I think he I think he's already
579
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,800
come to the realization.
We are struggling to move the
580
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,600
ball and to get point.
So when you get down there, why
581
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,700
not maximize your opportunity,
right?
582
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:45,800
Yeah, we're struggling with
consistency in the passing game
583
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,200
and we're struggling with just
putting all the pieces together
584
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,900
in the running game where we can
consistently get yards when we
585
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:56,500
need them.
You know, right now we're just
586
00:31:56,500 --> 00:32:01,700
not moving enough bodies in the
with the The offensive line for
587
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:05,500
that, run game to be consistent.
You know, we've seen stretches
588
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:08,200
where we have some big plays,
some well block plays, but we
589
00:32:08,208 --> 00:32:12,200
haven't seen it consistently
enough where you can lean on
590
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,400
that game.
But for an offense that's
591
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,100
operating.
The way our is is if we don't
592
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:20,900
have an effective running game,
it's hard to work.
593
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,900
Yeah.
A third of your offense.
594
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,200
I mean, when you're talking
about rpos, when you're talking
595
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,300
about play-action, none of that
works.
596
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:30,500
If you don't have a running
game.
597
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:36,300
That is threatening the defense
100% sort of the last thing.
598
00:32:36,300 --> 00:32:38,900
In this, I put it under game
management because essentially
599
00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:42,700
it's coaching and something
we've already seen coach
600
00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:44,200
admitted.
This was not a good tackling
601
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,300
game, I will say it was the
worst of the year.
602
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:50,600
It definitely ranks a hell of a
lot higher than the last two
603
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,100
years but he immediately address
I mean no for real.
604
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:56,800
Like yeah this was the worst
tackling and we had all year and
605
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:59,700
it was still not if this is a
tackling game from last year
606
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:02,800
would have been upper Third.
But this year, it's in the
607
00:33:02,808 --> 00:33:06,600
bottom this year, it's in the at
the very bottom so that that
608
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,200
tells you the the progress that
we made and then the progress
609
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,900
that we still have have to make
right again.
610
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:14,800
But again, it's he addressing
it.
611
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,900
And immediately I mean if we
probably have key on te for five
612
00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:24,200
to ten more minutes, I'm, you
know, again, we were we were
613
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,800
blessed to have him on and, you
know, we probably get to talk to
614
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,300
him for 45 minutes but we're not
done.
615
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:30,600
We're going to ask some good
questions.
616
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,800
Let him go about his day.
It probably would have got into
617
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:36,800
where the tackling drills,
although more intense this week
618
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,800
because from that presser
Saturday night, yeah, Saturday
619
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,900
night, Saturday night or
Thursday night, excuse me.
620
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,500
I have a feeling that they were
working a little bit harder and
621
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:51,600
I'm tackling drills this week to
get back to the technique.
622
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,700
We saw games 1, through 3, Yeah,
and most of it I think was
623
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:59,800
pressing was dive and we had
kind of early on there.
624
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:07,300
The one where you know Armani
just didn't break down, did make
625
00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:10,800
the play result in the first
down that led to a long drive
626
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,300
where it could have been getting
off the field with West
627
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:16,600
Virginia.
Backed up deep in their own
628
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,300
territory.
So, you know, it's the little
629
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:21,500
things that kind of add up to
the big things.
630
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:26,400
And I think if we Clean up
those, those little things.
631
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,500
And again, lean on our technique
like, like, he on, Tim was
632
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:32,900
talking about like, Coach Brown
talks about, we're going to see
633
00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:36,900
some improvement on that front.
Abso-freakin'-lutely gonna give
634
00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:39,800
a couple shout outs here.
We got Jerry won't shout out.
635
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,600
Jerry watching us tonight.
Shallot Levar shout-out, Low
636
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,199
Country.
Living got two of them on
637
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:48,300
YouTube, on on Facebook.
We appreciate you guys joining
638
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:51,400
us tonight.
All right, they was your things
639
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,900
that are bad that we feel like
can get fixed now.
640
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,100
I'll say this, we did do the old
with what's bad.
641
00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:59,900
That's going to be really tough
to be fixed this year and I
642
00:34:59,908 --> 00:35:04,200
think it kind of showed out on
Thursday night in.
643
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,200
That is the size of our interior
defensive line, not necessarily
644
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,600
the players but the simple sighs
Josh bougas, the heaviest guide
645
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,000
about 305 then.
It's Kendricks and then, you
646
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,500
know, Pollard and Pinette as
good as they are, they're going
647
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:24,000
to 80 to 85 their undersized
defensive interior.
648
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:27,800
Offensive lineman, but Brian me
and you've kind of been just
649
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,900
kind of going through the
schedule and there's only a
650
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:33,700
handful more teams that are
going to run the power to run,
651
00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:36,600
power plays or as big as West
Virginia are the rest of the
652
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,700
year.
So it's something we can't fix.
653
00:35:38,700 --> 00:35:43,200
But it's not like we're playing
a bunch of Wisconsin's for
654
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:49,000
Iowa's between now and November.
Yeah I think we have maybe one
655
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,000
or two offensive lines on the
schedule that can move bodies
656
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:58,100
like what we saw.
All West Virginia do so size
657
00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:03,800
becomes less of a problem.
You know when we look at the
658
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,500
things that are going to be
struggle to get fixed.
659
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:09,100
Obviously you can't all of a
sudden put 10 15 pounds on a
660
00:36:09,107 --> 00:36:13,300
defensive lineman right now.
I don't see the Run blocking
661
00:36:13,300 --> 00:36:16,500
getting significantly better
within this offense.
662
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:20,300
What I do see and what I think
will happen is I think that
663
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:24,500
we'll see scheme changes in
different approaches to how we
664
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:28,600
attack teams with our running
game because we're going to
665
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,800
still have to be effective
somewhat in the running game in
666
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,700
order to have success in this
offense.
667
00:36:34,300 --> 00:36:38,600
So if if running up the middle
isn't working, if that duo in
668
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,800
the in the power isn't working.
We're going to have to attack
669
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,600
the perimeter with some more
that pin and pull that we saw
670
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,400
have some success against Boston
College and some other things
671
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,200
that this offense can do.
So Yeah, I think looking at the
672
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,000
tape that's the thing that we
would have to do first is start
673
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,500
working attacking the perimeter,
with the running game, a little
674
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:03,200
bit more, and hopefully that can
give us a little bit of
675
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,900
breathing room where we don't
have to move as many bodies
676
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:09,000
inside The Tackle Box.
Because right now that's what
677
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,400
we're struggling with the most
is getting guys out of gaps.
678
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:14,500
You know the holes are too small
and the ones that are there.
679
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:18,100
Sometimes we're one or two
assignments away from, you know
680
00:37:18,107 --> 00:37:20,400
that play working.
Let's see if we can spread
681
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,700
things out a little bit.
It test them on the edges, a
682
00:37:22,707 --> 00:37:26,400
little more and and get some
guys blocking in space instead
683
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:31,700
of inside a phone booth.
Absolutely into your point.
684
00:37:31,700 --> 00:37:36,400
You kind of mentioned to me
Friday when we talk, it's really
685
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,100
tough to change.
Philosophical philosophically a
686
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:42,700
run game.
And so I think specially going,
687
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,000
especially going from a Zone, a
true Zone, okay, why do you
688
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,900
spread you out and to where now
you've got to move bodies out of
689
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:52,100
gaps.
You know you're blocking down.
690
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:54,200
You're using leverage that
you're using power.
691
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,900
It's a different skill set.
Some guys have both some guys,
692
00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:02,600
don't Um, and some guys take
longer to develop it as they
693
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,300
practice it.
So, you know it's going to be a
694
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:06,300
work in progress.
They might be a work in progress
695
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:08,200
that never fool gets finished
the season.
696
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:10,900
Yep.
Absolutely.
697
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:14,100
Absolutely.
Alright, couple other things,
698
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:17,300
you know, the the quarterback
talk of course is going to be on
699
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:21,900
fire as soon as that game ended
with some of the overthrows and
700
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,800
Miss throws.
But I think me and your kind of
701
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:31,200
to the point of You know when
things aren't going well, you
702
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,600
know, regardless of the game
that we're just going to live
703
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,100
with Grant Wells in the risks,
he takes and some of the stuff
704
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:45,600
he does because it's it's not
like that go does Jason Brown
705
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,300
potentially give you a better
chance to win.
706
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:50,700
Maybe maybe he does but then
we're going back to something.
707
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:54,100
Everybody's been pissed off when
since 2018 there's been
708
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:56,300
absolutely no consistent, the
quarterback position for the
709
00:38:56,308 --> 00:38:57,600
Hokies.
Yeah.
710
00:38:57,900 --> 00:39:00,200
Right.
So absolutely.
711
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,000
And what do you all talk about
Jason Brown?
712
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,100
Like if you're going to Jason
Brown at best you're going to a
713
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,800
six to eight-week fix, right?
Yeah, likes it.
714
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:15,000
That's all you.
It's all your doing, you know, I
715
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,100
think right now the best thing
to do is to to keep rolling with
716
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:21,700
Wells because number one, I
think in terms of arm Talent, he
717
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:26,300
gives us the best chance to win.
And number two, you want to at
718
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:29,200
least give him his best.
A shot to show whether he's the
719
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,800
guy for the next two years, or
whether you're back at the
720
00:39:31,808 --> 00:39:36,000
drawing board.
This offseason Vega.
721
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,400
Because at least if he's still
in the house if he's potentially
722
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,600
not the guy, and he doesn't grow
between now and November.
723
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:48,100
Or hopefully now in January that
you can have the conversation
724
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:52,200
with them and say, you know,
it's got to be open like you did
725
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,100
not do enough to set yourself
apart for potentially other
726
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,300
guys, we can potentially bring
into this.
727
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:02,800
Yeah, I mean, when we look at,
you know, his play, you know,
728
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,800
he's based on good plays.
There are moments where you're
729
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,100
like, all right, I can see this
working but then there's moments
730
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:14,000
where he, you know, locks onto a
receiver, his primary right out.
731
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,900
The gate doesn't really ever
come off of it makes the throw
732
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,800
even though there might be some
check Downs there or a second or
733
00:40:20,808 --> 00:40:22,600
third read that might become an
open.
734
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,000
You know, there's a couple,
overthrows, some excusable, some
735
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,800
not, you know, we've seen things
that are really good and we've
736
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,900
seen things that he's got to
Gone in.
737
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,800
Like I said, I think we've seen
enough where You know, he's
738
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,700
going to need to be the guy the
rest of the way out but if we
739
00:40:43,700 --> 00:40:46,700
don't start seeing some progress
here, I think that's when you're
740
00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:50,900
saying all right, well we know
he's the solution for this year
741
00:40:50,900 --> 00:40:54,200
but he's not the next not the
solution for next 2 years.
742
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,500
Let's see what else we could
bring in here and see if we can
743
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:59,300
Elevate that position.
So absolutely still a work in
744
00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:01,400
progress right now still work in
progress.
745
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:04,200
Great point.
Now the other thing and this has
746
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,000
been discussed long, this has
been discussing spring, its
747
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,300
Talent up to keep Fishing
groups, there's nothing we can
748
00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:14,900
change about that this year, all
that we can do is hope that the
749
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:18,400
coaching staff makes the
decisions of who put you in the
750
00:41:18,408 --> 00:41:22,700
best position for this year.
But also who has the opportunity
751
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:27,700
to get playing time this year
that you can get, get the film,
752
00:41:27,700 --> 00:41:31,400
get them on tape to start
keychain and getting ready for
753
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:37,300
the next two to three seasons.
Yeah, I mean that's that's part
754
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:39,000
of the thing that, you know,
we're going to struggle.
755
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,300
Yes.
Is that think this week, think
756
00:41:41,300 --> 00:41:44,200
this week at the line that the
Mike linebacker that was that
757
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,800
depth chart that that kind of
shocked me and you, but that's
758
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,300
somebody who's going to
potentially, you know, will will
759
00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:53,000
Johnson, right?
Dip will Johnson this Dowdy
760
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,600
number to Mike at least for UNC
at least for you and see but
761
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,000
it's in it's like whoa, wasting
word Keyshawn.
762
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,300
Where's Dean Ferguson?
It's like, well, is this a week
763
00:42:02,300 --> 00:42:05,800
where they get will Johnson some
And he's already been,
764
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,300
redshirted he's doing some
things on special teams.
765
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:10,600
Is he get the run this week to
say?
766
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:14,700
He's a redshirt freshman, let's
get tape where we can, you know,
767
00:42:14,700 --> 00:42:17,800
analyze diagnose what he does.
Well, and what can he do?
768
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,800
Well to actually next year or
the year after?
769
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,600
Well, I think also in terms of
matchups, this is a team and
770
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,900
we're going to talk about it
after the break here.
771
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:30,500
You know what they like to do?
Will Johnson, skillset probably
772
00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:34,200
fits a lot more than a Keyshawn
artists this week.
773
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,900
So, you know, if you're going to
have a number two, we know and
774
00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:42,100
we've seen the twos get, you
know, at least a handful of
775
00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:44,400
series every week.
Yep.
776
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,200
We have so far so at least every
week.
777
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:52,100
So if we're looking at matchups
that's definitely a matchup
778
00:42:52,100 --> 00:42:53,200
down.
Like I said, whether that
779
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,800
carries over week to week after
this, that's that's going to be
780
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,000
the question.
But I like this move in terms of
781
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:04,400
this week, we see Kelly Lawson,
now starting at will him in
782
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,300
Keller.
Or it will.
783
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,000
I mean, as an athletic group,
right there with those two kids.
784
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,700
Yeah.
And and you know that
785
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:17,300
linebacking room is shaping up
and it's still, you know,
786
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:20,000
there's still some some fiddling
going on with it.
787
00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:23,300
But we've seen a big step
forward with that group this
788
00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:28,000
year and I think as we kind of
get more tape and Seymour would
789
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,400
have got guys are doing against
live competition against better
790
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,300
competition.
It's only going to get better
791
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,700
because we'll have a lot more.
Our understanding of what what
792
00:43:36,700 --> 00:43:40,100
these guys do well now and it's
also know a guy like counted
793
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:43,300
Jenkins has the eligibility to
come back next year where he is
794
00:43:43,300 --> 00:43:47,700
really evolved into that same
position and you know with him
795
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:50,400
and Walker you've got a good
Central, you've got a good one
796
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,700
to out there to be very, very
comfortable with.
797
00:43:54,100 --> 00:44:00,700
All right let's go to what
steady let's just say it is as
798
00:44:00,700 --> 00:44:03,200
much as the we're going to
malign the offensive line.
799
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,800
The way the Run blocking is
happened Has Pros been damn
800
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,300
good.
I mean if the sacks are happen
801
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:12,400
to the pressure happen, it's
cover pressure.
802
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,100
It's not You know, Brian you
said you've been impressed with
803
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:19,400
how this groups look because
they were a solid group, a
804
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,400
couple guys who played last year
with the exception of one
805
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,200
individual.
Yeah, you know, there's one that
806
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,000
the one guy that sells there's
one guy that still struggling
807
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,900
pretty bad and it makes no
sense.
808
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:35,400
It makes no sense Parker.
But as I mean, I think overall
809
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,100
I'm satisfied I wouldn't say I'm
impressed but I'm definitely
810
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:42,600
satisfied with the past, bro.
Like I said, I think we could
811
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,000
see some improvement from
Parker.
812
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,500
He's been the weakest link both
in the Run game in the pass game
813
00:44:50,700 --> 00:44:57,100
combined, in my opinion.
If if some of that can continue
814
00:44:57,100 --> 00:45:01,300
to go and he can put out more
tape, like he put out last year
815
00:45:01,300 --> 00:45:04,600
because he was a solid Solomon
pass / last year.
816
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:06,300
I know, I know, it's limited
games.
817
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:10,000
He only started a couple games
saw time and a lot of games
818
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,600
though and he had enough snaps
under his belt, where Past Pro
819
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,400
should not be the big problem
that it is for him.
820
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,400
Right now.
It just doesn't make me and you
821
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,400
talked about it the other day.
It's like you didn't think about
822
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,200
that.
He would be an issue like he had
823
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:30,600
solid game film.
He had good progression, you
824
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,700
know, not to not to downplay it.
Was he going to be first round
825
00:45:34,700 --> 00:45:37,400
pick?
Probably not, but the way he was
826
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,800
progressing, you felt like he
was going to be a very good for
827
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,700
former for three more years
here.
828
00:45:42,100 --> 00:45:47,300
And it's just like, come
unraveled, So that's in fact if
829
00:45:47,300 --> 00:45:50,400
you if we just get Parker back
to what he did last year, it's
830
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,700
significantly makes the
offensive line better than what
831
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:56,500
it is.
Both path Pro and Run game.
832
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,300
Yeah and it's weird because you
know I don't know if it's
833
00:46:00,300 --> 00:46:02,500
carrying over.
He's obviously thinking too
834
00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:05,700
much.
Just just looking at he's
835
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:11,100
thinking too much and he's not
not processing and leaning on
836
00:46:11,100 --> 00:46:13,500
his technique quick enough in
the snap.
837
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:18,600
And that's carrying over into is
his actual technique in terms of
838
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,600
the actual block itself.
Yeah, he's had bad technique.
839
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:29,100
He's gotten beaten inside.
Oh my God, if I'm rushing the
840
00:46:29,100 --> 00:46:33,000
passer, I'm crossing Parker
Clements face, every damn time.
841
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:39,500
Every damn time, I'm crossing
his face screw Creek should
842
00:46:39,500 --> 00:46:42,800
screw screw Edge rush I am
Crossing his face and making him
843
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,700
have to power step and keep me
from getting to the quarterback
844
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:51,700
inside.
So all right, all right, well,
845
00:46:51,700 --> 00:46:53,300
let's let's let's hit on a
couple more.
846
00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:56,500
Good things we already talked
about the linebackers, The Young
847
00:46:56,500 --> 00:47:00,300
and the old plane.
Good secondary play Man.
848
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:06,300
I mean It's you can't you know,
the corners are played solid,
849
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:08,000
the safeties have played really
good.
850
00:47:08,900 --> 00:47:13,100
There's secondary Place, good at
steady and you know, seeing Bree
851
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:17,100
on Murray played well last week.
So it seems like those groups
852
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:18,900
are.
They've got their footing.
853
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,600
Yeah.
I mean they've been playing well
854
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,800
overall being there's you know,
plays here there you can nitpick
855
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,800
for sure.
Yeah, you know, I've already
856
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,300
talked about, you know, Chapman,
missing the tackle on the edge
857
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:32,100
there, you know, a couple
technique.
858
00:47:32,300 --> 00:47:35,400
Here, they're some of the
resulted in penalties, on that
859
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,900
resulted in catches.
But overall, the unit is
860
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:42,700
playing.
Well, they've held in check some
861
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:47,400
of the better receivers that
will see, not just, you know, in
862
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,800
the early part of the schedule,
but for the whole year.
863
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:55,500
So you know, if they can keep
that play up, as we kind of get
864
00:47:55,500 --> 00:47:59,000
deeper into conference play,
that's going to be huge but
865
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,600
they're doing, they're doing a
good job so far.
866
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:04,300
Abso-freakin'-lutely.
You and Artie biddies are or
867
00:48:04,300 --> 00:48:06,400
what they are.
It's the running back room and I
868
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,500
know a lot of that's going to
hinge on and with the offensive
869
00:48:09,500 --> 00:48:13,600
line plays like but it's seeing
what we want to see and it
870
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,500
doesn't look like it's an
outside shot this week but
871
00:48:16,500 --> 00:48:20,800
seeing Malachi Thomas and
Keyshawn, King both be able to
872
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,600
play significant roles and I
think we have to put TVD on that
873
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,300
room until they're both on the
field because you've been
874
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:32,800
talking about those perimeter
runs and, you know, The one
875
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,500
thing really good about Malachi
and you've praised it over and
876
00:48:35,500 --> 00:48:38,700
over is to be a young to a be a
back of his age.
877
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:42,500
He is only his second year in
college in the way he ran.
878
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:45,100
Last year, his vision is already
like a senior.
879
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:47,900
Yeah he's got he's got really
good Vision.
880
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:53,500
It's not like Khalil Herbert
level Vision but very few are no
881
00:48:53,500 --> 00:48:56,200
but it's really good especially
for the experience and he's had
882
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,900
the offense so far, you know, a
little bit more vision is going
883
00:49:00,900 --> 00:49:02,600
to help this offense.
I mean, it's a difference
884
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,000
between a 1 or 2 yard gain for
5-yard, gain on.
885
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,600
A lot of these plays that were
looking at, just just picking
886
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,500
the right lane picking the
right, Ali setting the block up
887
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:15,400
better, you know?
They're they're little things
888
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,400
that Kent can help this offense
to have a little bit more
889
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,500
consistency.
You know, I we're not going to
890
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:25,900
see significant or drastic
change happened.
891
00:49:25,900 --> 00:49:30,800
Just because Malachi suddenly
inserted into the offense, but
892
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,300
we might see again, the small
things.
893
00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:36,000
We're we're now no longer
playing from behind the chains
894
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,700
on second and third down, you
know, if we can do that a little
895
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:43,400
bit better, that makes things
easier for Grant Wells.
896
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,000
Now, they've got honor the
running the past on this third.
897
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:49,400
Insurance versus there's third
and Long's you know play action
898
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,300
works a lot better on second
down.
899
00:49:51,300 --> 00:49:54,400
There's so many different things
that kind of open up.
900
00:49:54,500 --> 00:49:57,200
If you can have an effective
first down, run that gets you
901
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,800
three to four yards and Absalom.
And when we look at the wide
902
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,900
receiver room we're seeing you
know, guys take steps, right?
903
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:07,600
We're that's the other one that
we're kind of, it's a work in
904
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,000
progress, but we've seen some
young guys, make some plays.
905
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
We've seen some young guys, make
some mistakes here there but
906
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:19,000
we're at least seeing Some
growth weeks a week, that's it.
907
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,000
We saw the Christian Moss.
You make some good plays against
908
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,800
West Virginia, after having a
big day against Wofford Step Up
909
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,600
in competition a little bit, we
still see his present in the
910
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,700
offense, so that's a positive.
Sign positive, take away, you
911
00:50:32,700 --> 00:50:35,400
know, we saw blue that had had
some opportunities against West
912
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,500
Virginia, a couple that he
wasn't able to capitalize on.
913
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:40,200
But there were some
opportunities there, where he
914
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,700
was getting open, where he was
getting in a spot where he can
915
00:50:43,700 --> 00:50:47,000
make a play in the offense.
So, there's some positive
916
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,600
momentum in that group, but
there's still a lot of TBD and
917
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,700
pivoting back to the running
back room real quick.
918
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,600
When we talk about Malachi
coming back now, you've got two
919
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,200
guys that you can count on.
And I think that's when you
920
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:08,800
start seeing Bryce Duke, being
used in a few more packages.
921
00:51:10,500 --> 00:51:13,700
So that's my hope.
Is that because of Bryce Duke
922
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:17,100
skill set?
Yeah, I think what he can do on
923
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:20,900
the perimeter and will help us
because that's where we need to
924
00:51:20,908 --> 00:51:25,200
start getting a little bit.
Little bit better at attacking
925
00:51:26,300 --> 00:51:29,300
to take a little bit of pressure
off the interior offensive line.
926
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,800
So if Bryce do can get some more
run because of guys like Thomas
927
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,400
and King that you can lean on a
little bit for the rest of the
928
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,400
workload.
That's only going to help us
929
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,300
long-term.
Abso-freakin'-lutely Brian.
930
00:51:43,100 --> 00:51:47,700
So obviously a lot to unpack.
Obviously a lot of things that
931
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:51,800
you know we we know we can't do
anything about this year, it's
932
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,900
going to take time, it's going
to take development.
933
00:51:54,700 --> 00:51:57,100
It's a lot of things.
We know if we clean up, we can
934
00:51:57,100 --> 00:52:00,000
become more competitive and
every game we play from now
935
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,100
until November.
So, hopefully we start seeing
936
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:03,600
these things.
And again, talking with you on
937
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,900
to our last night, sounds like
the coach has already put things
938
00:52:05,900 --> 00:52:08,000
in place, which is what you want
to hear.
939
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,700
It's, we're not trying to The
same things, it's four games in
940
00:52:11,700 --> 00:52:13,700
certain things aren't working.
Let's change it up.
941
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,500
Alright Brian before we get into
our main topic tonight of Know
942
00:52:17,500 --> 00:52:21,800
The Enemy North Carolina we are

00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,700
episode.
Alright, so now let's begin Know
952
00:52:48,700 --> 00:52:53,200
The Enemy UNC and Brian it's an
easy place to start.
953
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:54,800
We started with there.
Offense, man.
954
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,600
And let's talk about the man
under Center under the shotgun
955
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,500
snaps.
Drake May the quarterback, a six
956
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:04,700
foot four 220-pound, redshirt
freshman.
957
00:53:04,700 --> 00:53:06,400
So he is pretty much a baby out
there.
958
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,200
Out of Myers, Park High School
and Hunter bills North Carolina
959
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:14,800
down near Charlotte 2021.
He was a Five Star Quarterback,
960
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,600
he was a top 25 player.
He was a cop for quarterback.
961
00:53:18,700 --> 00:53:22,200
He was the top player in the
state of North Carolina and I
962
00:53:22,207 --> 00:53:25,600
tell you what so far this Season
his statistics.
963
00:53:25,900 --> 00:53:29,500
He's living up to it man.
Already thrown for over 1,200
964
00:53:29,500 --> 00:53:33,600
yards. 16 touchdowns one pick
has a little wiggle in his game
965
00:53:34,100 --> 00:53:36,100
closely.
You know, averaging just over
966
00:53:36,100 --> 00:53:39,800
four and a half carry so when
you turn that tape on and you
967
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,900
had some really fun games to
watch this week, do it with this
968
00:53:43,900 --> 00:53:46,000
offense.
What are you seeing out of
969
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Drake?
Me and what potentially could we
970
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,900
do?
Yeah.
971
00:53:50,900 --> 00:53:53,500
So what I'm seeing, I mean, he's
really quick at reading with the
972
00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:55,700
defense is giving him and taking
what's there.
973
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,600
That's probably his biggest
attribute in terms of being a
974
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,100
young player.
He's really good at identifying.
975
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,800
What a defense is doing and
taking what the offense kind of
976
00:54:05,808 --> 00:54:09,500
has that play there.
He's a good athlete.
977
00:54:09,500 --> 00:54:12,500
Probably a little bit better
athlete than we saw from Sam how
978
00:54:12,500 --> 00:54:16,800
last year at UNC, but the
difference is, he's very
979
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,400
decisive when he takes off and
runs.
980
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:23,400
So when he goes, he goes, he's
very decisive with it.
981
00:54:24,500 --> 00:54:27,500
There's no, there's no
questioning whether he's going
982
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:31,600
to take off, he reads it.
If it's not, there, he's up.
983
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,400
He's making a play.
He's trying to get the get the
984
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,400
first down with his legs.
And he delivers them a curveball
985
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:37,700
at all levels of the The
defense.
986
00:54:37,700 --> 00:54:39,800
So you can throw a deep ball.
He throws even intermediate.
987
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,900
He throws short.
Probably some of the short
988
00:54:42,900 --> 00:54:47,800
accuracy is probably the biggest
thing he could work on, but he
989
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,200
can make all the throws at all.
The levels of the defense and
990
00:54:51,300 --> 00:54:53,600
you know, footwork pocket
mechanics are probably the
991
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,400
things that he could also work
on the most kind of get sloppy,
992
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,200
especially when he's feeling the
rush.
993
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,500
And he does again much like a
couple other quarterbacks we
994
00:55:02,500 --> 00:55:05,000
talked about this year, he does
take unnecessary hits when he
995
00:55:05,008 --> 00:55:06,700
breaks the pocket and tries to
make a play.
996
00:55:06,700 --> 00:55:11,000
So That might be an opportunity
where we get him to the ground
997
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,800
and get him to, where he's out
of his game a little bit.
998
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:17,500
Well, I hear those last two
things and I feel like that is
999
00:55:17,900 --> 00:55:20,200
there's your key, right?
There's your big key for
1000
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,600
throwing him off, is getting to
him, getting him into those bad
1001
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,200
habits and taking the
unnecessary hits.
1002
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,300
Because how many times do you
see a guy who has some ability?
1003
00:55:30,900 --> 00:55:34,600
They make that one bad play and
get popped hard have to sit out
1004
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,100
a couple plays and then the next
thing, you know, The next
1005
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:40,900
read-option, they're handing it
off and it doesn't even matter
1006
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:44,300
if that ends crashed right now.
I'm not taking another hit
1007
00:55:44,300 --> 00:55:46,400
tonight.
Like that didn't feel good.
1008
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,600
Yeah yeah and they operate
within the within the RPO.
1009
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,200
So he is kind of put out there a
lot where he'll take.
1010
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:58,800
It's in the pocket but he also
again takes off and runs and he
1011
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,600
gives us.
He'll give us some opportunities
1012
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:04,600
where we can give him a pop and
make him a little bit hesitant.
1013
00:56:05,300 --> 00:56:08,000
And that's going to be the big
thing is Bring him when we have
1014
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,100
the chance and getting him off
his spot when he's in the
1015
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:11,700
pocket.
Awesome.
1016
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,300
All right.
So there's a little bit on Drake
1017
00:56:13,300 --> 00:56:17,000
met the Carolina quarterback.
Let's flip now to obviously,
1018
00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:22,200
even though the guys only played
two games, Josh towns is second
1019
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:26,400
and Carolina interceptions which
is crazy because he only played
1020
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,500
the first in the gamers and
Notre Dame.
1021
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:32,600
The 510 175 lb wide out of
Suwanee, Georgia and North
1022
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:37,200
Gwinnett, High School for Star,
when he came out in 2020 top, A
1023
00:56:37,207 --> 00:56:41,100
nationally, top 25 wide receiver
and top 15 in state of Georgia
1024
00:56:41,100 --> 00:56:46,000
which says a lot about a player
and again, only two games so far
1025
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,700
this year.
But again, like I said, already
1026
00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:51,300
second on the team in receptions
already leading the team and
1027
00:56:51,300 --> 00:56:55,600
touchdowns, what do we need to
worry about with Down's?
1028
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,400
Because I know he's a little bit
smaller of a guy.
1029
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:03,600
I'm pretty much everything, but
deep down the sideline, he works
1030
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,500
out of the slot.
A lot that's primarily where
1031
00:57:06,500 --> 00:57:09,500
he's going to be running routes,
and he's great at running routes
1032
00:57:09,500 --> 00:57:12,700
great at changing direction.
Great with the ball in his
1033
00:57:12,700 --> 00:57:14,900
hands.
After the catch, he's going to
1034
00:57:14,908 --> 00:57:18,300
be the primary offensive Target
between the 20s, and he's going
1035
00:57:18,300 --> 00:57:20,800
to be the also, the primary Red
Zone Target.
1036
00:57:22,300 --> 00:57:25,200
And he's not really used as much
as a deep threat, but they will
1037
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,200
run him with some seem in some
fade.
1038
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:32,300
But not a ton of stuff deep down
the sideline, but when you get
1039
00:57:32,300 --> 00:57:34,000
in the Red Zone, look for the
fade.
1040
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,700
Look for the corner, you know,
look for those plays where he
1041
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:41,100
can kind of use his athleticism
to get open, and High Point the
1042
00:57:41,100 --> 00:57:43,300
ball, and bring it down for a
big play.
1043
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,000
Absolutely.
So again, he was out a couple
1044
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,000
games and we're not going to
talk about anymore wide
1045
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,700
receivers tonight because
there's I'm going to talk about
1046
00:57:52,700 --> 00:57:56,500
a tight end next.
But also keep your ears open for
1047
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:02,100
Kobe, Pacer Kobe face or leading
the team in receptions and
1048
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:05,200
another one.
Jay Jay Jones, Jay Jones, bigger
1049
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,100
guy, averaging, almost 20 yards
of pop.
1050
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:10,700
So, depending on what kind of
weather we're playing and you
1051
00:58:10,700 --> 00:58:12,500
may or may not hear from those
guys.
1052
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:15,800
But once more Antoine green, is
there, is there a deep threat as
1053
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,300
well?
So I mean they've got weapons
1054
00:58:17,300 --> 00:58:20,800
all over the field but you know,
when you look at the one that
1055
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,400
can hurt you everywhere, it's
Josh downs.
1056
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,700
And Josh Downs, makes everybody
else's job a lot easier because
1057
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:29,900
of Of everything that he can do.
Yep.
1058
00:58:30,300 --> 00:58:34,200
Let's flip and let's talk about
obviously Downs played, ain't
1059
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,700
Florida A&M played last week
against Notre Dame but he missed
1060
00:58:36,700 --> 00:58:40,700
that App State gaming, you Miss
Georgia, State, and in those
1061
00:58:40,700 --> 00:58:42,900
games.
Brian you looking at the tape
1062
00:58:42,900 --> 00:58:46,500
you kind of said they were going
tight in heavy and one of the
1063
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:52,000
Titans, they targeted a ton was
Morales.
1064
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:57,700
Come on, Ari Morales A6, 2245
tight end at a buck Lake floor.
1065
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,000
Lincoln High School, 2019,
three-star.
1066
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:06,200
I mean already, you know in
those games with, you know, with
1067
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:10,100
Down's out you know, he had ten
reception, he's already had ten
1068
00:59:10,100 --> 00:59:14,300
receptions for over 140 yards
this year and it really looked
1069
00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:17,300
like give credit to their
offense, went with Down's going
1070
00:59:17,300 --> 00:59:20,100
out.
They sort of like look between
1071
00:59:20,100 --> 00:59:23,400
the numbers and we're very
successful doing it with their
1072
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,000
tight ends.
Yeah, they definitely kind of
1073
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,600
filled in the Gap with what
downsells do.
1074
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,900
Ring with two guys Marisa.
Morales Morales.
1075
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,900
Probably the the better overall
Target in terms of being able to
1076
00:59:35,900 --> 00:59:39,400
do a little bit more within the
offense.
1077
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,300
They leaned on him heavily when
Josh Downs was out.
1078
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,200
Good hands, but not really
physically dominant.
1079
00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:49,500
And this is a guy that's more of
a kind of a joke or tight in,
1080
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:51,500
not necessarily A blocking
asset.
1081
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,600
He will block in space pretty
well.
1082
00:59:54,900 --> 00:59:57,300
Good stock blocker but not
somebody that you're going to
1083
00:59:57,300 --> 01:00:00,300
line up.
Line a ton and just try to try
1084
01:00:00,300 --> 01:00:01,900
to move bodies in the running
game.
1085
01:00:01,900 --> 01:00:06,700
So definitely a very past
focused asset for that that
1086
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:08,300
offense.
Yeah.
1087
01:00:08,300 --> 01:00:12,100
And and the game last week
against Notre Dame with Down's
1088
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:14,800
being back, definitely didn't
see as much of them.
1089
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:19,000
So obviously they could be
changing up things this week
1090
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,100
because obviously like, you
know, Downs had a really good
1091
01:00:22,100 --> 01:00:25,000
game against Notre Dame.
So could they go back to Morales
1092
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,600
versus us?
And again, it's funny.
1093
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,900
You know, we got key onto this
week in a lot of talk is about
1094
01:00:30,900 --> 01:00:35,800
that position but if he can play
like he did against BC and hold
1095
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,800
down another good tight end,
that helps the Hokies.
1096
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:44,600
All right, buddy, now to the fun
part, this isn't a very good
1097
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:50,100
offensive line is it?
No, you know, I don't know if
1098
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:54,300
they're as bad as we are right
now in terms of all the pieces,
1099
01:00:55,100 --> 01:00:56,800
but they're struggling pretty
bad.
1100
01:00:58,100 --> 01:01:01,400
If we're talking about three
worst, three or four were
1101
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,200
solvent sloppy, ACC has a lot of
bad offensive line play right
1102
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,000
now.
Between UVA between us between
1103
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Boston College, and between a
blue between this, this UNC
1104
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:16,700
team, so probably for the worst
offensive lines in the, in the
1105
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:20,100
ACC right now.
So unc's right there with them,
1106
01:01:20,900 --> 01:01:22,700
they're not great at staying
engaged.
1107
01:01:22,700 --> 01:01:25,500
They turn their shoulder, their
shoulders, get easily turn in
1108
01:01:25,500 --> 01:01:28,900
the running game creating those
Those penetration Lanes to
1109
01:01:28,900 --> 01:01:32,900
really mess up that path.
That rushing attack, they
1110
01:01:32,900 --> 01:01:35,300
struggle a lot.
Just like we were with the
1111
01:01:35,308 --> 01:01:37,500
stunts in the blitz pickup and
past Pro.
1112
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,200
You're somewhat.
Some of their deficiencies are
1113
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:45,700
mitigated by scheme and by what
maze able to do with his talent
1114
01:01:45,700 --> 01:01:48,400
is decision-making, ability to
throw the ball and ability to
1115
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,700
make quick decisions and get the
ball out.
1116
01:01:51,300 --> 01:01:54,300
But they're not very good in the
Run game or the passing game.
1117
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,800
Very very mediocre.
Definitely something we could
1118
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:02,100
take advantage of So, why are
they then how?
1119
01:02:02,100 --> 01:02:05,400
How, why are they so successful?
Because obviously, if they're
1120
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,800
not that talented, what's, you
know, how can you really be
1121
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,700
covered that up by that much?
I'm asking?
1122
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,500
Yeah, yeah, I mean, so, you
know, we talked about this a lot
1123
01:02:16,500 --> 01:02:20,200
when we think about, you know, a
couple years back, how bad those
1124
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:24,700
Miami lines were but they were
still able to be effective in
1125
01:02:24,700 --> 01:02:27,600
the passing game and be
effective enough in the running
1126
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,300
game.
It's kind of the same situation.
1127
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,700
In here.
When it's right, they can they
1128
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:36,000
can break some big plays in the
running game when a Mario
1129
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,500
Hampton who were about to talk
about here in a second, gets to
1130
01:02:38,500 --> 01:02:41,300
the second level.
He can make big plays had
1131
01:02:41,300 --> 01:02:46,700
touched had a run of 53 yards I
think against their their FCS
1132
01:02:46,700 --> 01:02:53,600
opponent and then a couple other
big runs as well so he can break
1133
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:58,100
some big ones and that plus what
may is able to do, when how
1134
01:02:58,100 --> 01:03:04,300
quickly They are able to get the
ball out, but also what this
1135
01:03:04,300 --> 01:03:08,700
offense does, well, is kind of
put that those Force players in
1136
01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:11,800
a bind, in terms of, whether
they're, it's a run or a pass,
1137
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,600
or whether it's a give or a
keep.
1138
01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:16,900
When you do that, that kind of
slows things down a little bit
1139
01:03:16,900 --> 01:03:18,200
and that helps your offensive
line.
1140
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,000
Got it, got it.
Any one particular player, maybe
1141
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:26,700
stand out for you.
No one really.
1142
01:03:26,700 --> 01:03:29,100
I mean, it's very, it's very
buidling across the board.
1143
01:03:30,700 --> 01:03:34,400
I mean, they're breaking in kind
of some new players on that
1144
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,000
line.
So it's still very much a work
1145
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,900
in progress.
All right.
1146
01:03:37,900 --> 01:03:40,100
Good to know.
Let's talk about the guy, they
1147
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:43,300
have blocked for, who's had a
solid season thus far, and
1148
01:03:43,300 --> 01:03:46,900
that's a Mario, Hampton.
The running back six-foot-two.
1149
01:03:46,900 --> 01:03:49,700
20 out of Clayton, North
Carolina, Cleveland High School
1150
01:03:49,700 --> 01:03:53,300
for star in the 2022 class.
He is a true freshman playing.
1151
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,600
He was the 11th grader running.
In the country and a top-five
1152
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:01,500
player in the state and you know
so far it's sort of been really
1153
01:04:01,500 --> 01:04:05,100
good game back to Earth really
good game back to Earth.
1154
01:04:05,500 --> 01:04:07,700
So this week it's saying this
should be another really good
1155
01:04:07,700 --> 01:04:09,700
game.
I hope that the pattern does not
1156
01:04:09,700 --> 01:04:14,300
continue because he was teased a
256 averaging over 50 carry for
1157
01:04:14,300 --> 01:04:16,300
the season.
But coming off the Notre Dame
1158
01:04:16,300 --> 01:04:21,000
game where he only got 28 yards
and 32 from scrimmage with one
1159
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,000
little catch.
But when you see in the good
1160
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,300
parts of him, What's it?
What's the Artie?
1161
01:04:26,300 --> 01:04:29,200
What's he showing?
I mean, the big thing you show
1162
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,300
and he's got great vision
between the tackles and he
1163
01:04:31,300 --> 01:04:35,200
finishes his runs very well.
So he's a guy that's always
1164
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:36,600
falling forward.
Always fighting for extra,
1165
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:41,500
yardage and maximizes, kind of
what this offensive line gives
1166
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:44,000
him.
But he did disappear against
1167
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,600
appstate, did disappear against
Notre, Dame, a lot of that was
1168
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:51,400
based on game Flow there.
You know AB State you're getting
1169
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:55,000
in a shootout Notre Dame damn
playing from behind.
1170
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,600
For a significant portion of the
game and especially in the
1171
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,800
second half of the new Dame
game, where they completely
1172
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,300
control time of possession.
So there wasn't a ton of
1173
01:05:05,300 --> 01:05:08,800
opportunities, even when they
were playing from behind to kind
1174
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,900
of get those those carries and
there's touches.
1175
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,400
But he does have big play
ability like I talked about, but
1176
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:19,000
really is struggled getting to
the sex the second level against
1177
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,900
that better.
I competition.
1178
01:05:20,900 --> 01:05:25,300
So if we can do kind of what
Notre Dame is done and Tap,
1179
01:05:25,300 --> 01:05:28,600
state did for for significant.
Portions of that game?
1180
01:05:28,900 --> 01:05:32,500
Yeah, I think will be our
writing and maintaining keeping
1181
01:05:32,500 --> 01:05:35,800
the Russian game under control
and making them a
1182
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,100
one-dimensional offense.
Yeah, definitely.
1183
01:05:39,100 --> 01:05:41,800
That has to be the key is to
make them a one-dimensional
1184
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,700
offense.
Regardless, because the pass
1185
01:05:44,700 --> 01:05:47,200
game is far as the pass game
goes, they don't really use the
1186
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:50,100
running backs a lot.
I mean, the running bags.
1187
01:05:50,100 --> 01:05:52,500
I mean, I'm just looking here
running backs.
1188
01:05:52,500 --> 01:05:58,000
Only have 15.
Seems all year, and it's just a
1189
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:03,200
little over a hundred yards, so
not a big key factor, there's no
1190
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,000
5A game combined.
Yeah.
1191
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,700
Yeah, not much.
I mean, it's 45 a game for like,
1192
01:06:07,700 --> 01:06:10,600
twenty five, twenty twenty-five,
Thirty yard average.
1193
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,500
So they're not using that as a
lot of check downs.
1194
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,700
But again, maybe with a Young
quarterback, getting to that
1195
01:06:16,700 --> 01:06:21,700
read is the real issue.
So you know I know we've seen
1196
01:06:21,700 --> 01:06:24,500
this team for a couple years now
Brian but let's just go high
1197
01:06:24,500 --> 01:06:27,000
level.
Well, what type of offense are
1198
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,800
we looking at?
And what are they doing?
1199
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,500
That we need to be looking for
on Saturday afternoon 3:30.
1200
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:41,000
Yeah, this is a spread.
Our po based offense and again I
1201
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,500
said it a little bit but you
know the big key is all about
1202
01:06:43,500 --> 01:06:46,700
putting the the force players of
the defense in a bind where they
1203
01:06:46,700 --> 01:06:49,900
can't, you know, play the run or
the past, they've got to kind of
1204
01:06:49,908 --> 01:06:52,900
think and read and and kind of
sit back and wait.
1205
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,200
That's what they're trying to
do, they're trying to make
1206
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:01,800
things difficult, put guys on
Islands, they're not a great
1207
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:06,200
traditional rushing team, but
maze numbers kind of make up for
1208
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,600
that combined with what the
running backs have been able to
1209
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:14,300
do in some big carries and those
weaker competition games but
1210
01:07:14,300 --> 01:07:16,900
they are still you know they're
still hovering just below that
1211
01:07:16,900 --> 01:07:21,400
200-yard a game Mark so they're
getting decent yardage overall,
1212
01:07:21,700 --> 01:07:24,900
but some of those running game
aspects are disappearing.
1213
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,100
For long stretches against
better competition.
1214
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,500
They're much more efficient
through the air than they are on
1215
01:07:30,500 --> 01:07:33,600
the ground but they can still
get bogged down when they
1216
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,400
already want to routinely hit
their shots, downfield, or take
1217
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:40,700
advantage of good runs and good.
Good plays on early downs.
1218
01:07:42,300 --> 01:07:45,800
And, you know, they definitely
are a dynamic offense, but they
1219
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,400
become very pedestrian when you
get them into those third and
1220
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:52,100
long situations, that's good to
know.
1221
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:54,900
We're going to visit something
about those third.
1222
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,800
Situations.
But you're absolutely right as
1223
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,800
far as the Russian goes Bryan
against Notre Dame.
1224
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:05,400
Last week, I mean, you know,
basically 60 yards on about 25
1225
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:09,100
carry.
So very pedestrian and there's
1226
01:08:09,100 --> 01:08:13,900
one of your big keys, right?
You know, stop them make you've
1227
01:08:13,900 --> 01:08:15,600
said it make them
one-dimensional offense.
1228
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,500
We make them beat you passing,
especially in a Range so game,
1229
01:08:18,899 --> 01:08:21,700
it could be good things for the
Hokies.
1230
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,300
Now let's go talk about the
defense because the defense not
1231
01:08:25,300 --> 01:08:27,300
the best.
But let's talk about a couple
1232
01:08:27,300 --> 01:08:30,800
key players, are that?
We're seeing making some impact
1233
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:35,399
and let's start with Cedric
gray, the linebacker
1234
01:08:35,399 --> 01:08:38,500
six-foot-two 230 out of
Charlotte, North Carolina,
1235
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:42,100
Audrey kill, High School, class
of 2020.
1236
01:08:42,300 --> 01:08:48,000
Again I keep saying it for Star.
Top 10 player, North Carolina's
1237
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,700
top teen athlete in the country.
How this team is only winning.
1238
01:08:51,700 --> 01:08:53,899
Six games a year.
Only tells you that their
1239
01:08:53,899 --> 01:08:56,600
coaching staff is Ass.
That's all I'm gonna say.
1240
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,300
Is many talented players if
we've been saying here and
1241
01:08:59,300 --> 01:09:01,399
there's even more that we're not
mentioning.
1242
01:09:01,899 --> 01:09:04,800
So the worst thing is that at
least the offense is getting
1243
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:09,600
production, like but the defense
has four and five stars all
1244
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:17,100
every weld and are but ass.
But speaking of Cedric, great
1245
01:09:17,100 --> 01:09:19,100
said, your gray is the
Undisputed leader on this
1246
01:09:19,100 --> 01:09:22,100
defense, okay?
He's weak side linebacker, he's
1247
01:09:22,100 --> 01:09:24,899
the best player.
Best box player and run.
1248
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:29,200
First offender that they have,
he is also their primary Blitzer
1249
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:32,100
when they send pressure.
They'll use another guy that
1250
01:09:32,100 --> 01:09:34,100
we're about to talk about as
well, but he's the guy that they
1251
01:09:34,108 --> 01:09:37,100
like to send the most on those
pressures and he's generally
1252
01:09:37,100 --> 01:09:40,000
matched up with the running back
in man coverage.
1253
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:45,500
When they go into into the drop
back, probably better in man
1254
01:09:45,500 --> 01:09:51,300
than he is in zone, but he
doesn't really have a bunch of
1255
01:09:51,500 --> 01:09:54,300
liabilities, but he's more of a
kind of a leader.
1256
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:59,400
Okay.
He's not Elite in any key areas
1257
01:10:00,500 --> 01:10:02,800
but he doesn't really have any
deficiencies either his
1258
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,600
leadership and kind of what he
brings to that front is probably
1259
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,700
his biggest attribute.
Let me ask this because you say
1260
01:10:09,700 --> 01:10:12,500
he is the guy carrying running
backs out of the backfield.
1261
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,300
Does he have the kind of
athleticism that can keep up
1262
01:10:15,300 --> 01:10:17,100
with guys?
Like he's Sean King, if we
1263
01:10:17,100 --> 01:10:21,100
decide to go out and run some
Flats, maybe run some Wheels,
1264
01:10:21,100 --> 01:10:24,200
run some angle routes, where
Keshawn is it close to you
1265
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,800
Keshawn, is that Poletik.
I mean he did a decent job of
1266
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:33,300
matching Chris Tyree for a lot
of the Notre Dame game you know
1267
01:10:33,300 --> 01:10:37,100
he did get a few gains but he
wasn't necessarily getting beat
1268
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:41,600
where Tyrese running up.
The up the sideline, the only
1269
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,400
time that a running back called,
a big ball in that game is when
1270
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:51,500
they put two out there and and
threw away from Cedric Grace.
1271
01:10:51,500 --> 01:10:54,900
Oh, okay, that's that's the only
big play there.
1272
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,200
Add with a running back in the
passing game was when they went
1273
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,800
away from that.
So got you got you?
1274
01:11:00,100 --> 01:11:03,000
Well in Graham selfie like you
said, he's the leader and he's
1275
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,000
leading this team in tackles 47.
Total tackles three and a half
1276
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,600
four loss.
He has a pick, he's Pat, he
1277
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,100
know, he played a little last
year.
1278
01:11:10,100 --> 01:11:13,600
He's deflected passes.
So like you said, it sounds like
1279
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,000
he has a willy well-rounded
game.
1280
01:11:16,300 --> 01:11:18,900
Now, let's talk about the other
linebacker.
1281
01:11:18,900 --> 01:11:21,900
That caught your eye on the tape
because I was looking at
1282
01:11:21,900 --> 01:11:25,600
somebody else you texted me and
said, let's flip Ooh, this guy
1283
01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:30,600
power Echols all named Team,
first of all, power equals Big
1284
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:34,200
Time, 6-foot 225.
Also from Charlotte, North
1285
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:39,000
Carolina from chambers High
School, 2021 class for Star, top
1286
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:43,000
200 player, top 20 linebacker,
number 13 in the state of North
1287
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,500
Carolina in power so far this
year.
1288
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:50,600
Also, well, up there getting 37
total, tackles three tackles for
1289
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:54,700
loss, couple sacks, what's power
showing on tape.
1290
01:11:56,300 --> 01:11:58,600
He's good at making plays
against the run when he plays
1291
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:02,400
with anticipation trusses reads
and in kind of gets up in there
1292
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,000
but he's below averaging
coverage, especially in man.
1293
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:10,700
So this is something where we
might be able to create some
1294
01:12:10,700 --> 01:12:13,900
mismatches with guys in our
game.
1295
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,600
He does a good job when
blitzing, he's probably the guy
1296
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,400
that they send them Blitz is the
second most in this defense
1297
01:12:23,500 --> 01:12:26,100
meddling when it comes to block.
A shedding and tackling.
1298
01:12:26,100 --> 01:12:30,600
He'll miss some tackles here and
there and can get confused and
1299
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,800
influence by motion and window
dressing when he has coverage
1300
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,900
duties that big pass to the
running back that I'm talking
1301
01:12:37,900 --> 01:12:39,500
about.
There was some window-dressing
1302
01:12:39,500 --> 01:12:43,000
some motion, he got caught up in
the wash and next thing you know
1303
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,400
you let a guy get behind him.
Big touchdown that kind of
1304
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,700
extended that lead and kind of
put it Out Of Reach for you and
1305
01:12:50,700 --> 01:12:53,400
see where they were playing
big-time catch up there in the
1306
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:57,900
fourth quarter.
So, It has some ability.
1307
01:12:57,900 --> 01:13:00,500
That makes a lot of mistakes.
That's kind of the big takeaway
1308
01:13:00,500 --> 01:13:03,300
for him.
Got it, got it.
1309
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,300
All right, let's flip.
And let's take a look at a
1310
01:13:05,300 --> 01:13:08,400
member of the secondary that if
you have followed Okie football,
1311
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,500
will last few years, you were
all too familiar with and that's
1312
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:16,300
camera on Kelly.
The free safety, 61 210 out of
1313
01:13:16,300 --> 01:13:19,200
Oscar Smith, High School.
If you don't remember, he was
1314
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:23,400
originally committed to the
Hokies long long time ago in
1315
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:28,300
2018.
And then he flipped to Auburn
1316
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:32,600
who signed with and the class of
2019 where he was a four-star,
1317
01:13:32,700 --> 01:13:37,300
top-10 player in Virginia, top
24/7 player, but he did make it
1318
01:13:37,300 --> 01:13:41,500
through Auburn spring.
He then flip to you and see
1319
01:13:41,500 --> 01:13:46,400
after signing with them and he
is now they're at Carolina where
1320
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:53,400
he actually played as a freshman
in 2019, you know, this year
1321
01:13:53,500 --> 01:13:57,900
starting at the strong safety.
Position 20 tackles no pics.
1322
01:13:57,900 --> 01:13:59,600
No sex.
No tackles for loss.
1323
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:07,000
Is he doing adequate or or, or
could they potentially bench
1324
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:11,100
him?
So he's also their punt
1325
01:14:11,100 --> 01:14:13,300
returner.
So, okay.
1326
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,000
We'll put that caveat in there.
He is.
1327
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:21,700
Not a very good tackler at all.
He is food in the open field.
1328
01:14:23,500 --> 01:14:26,200
That's something that we could.
He is food.
1329
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:30,800
We can absolutely take advantage
of his ability in the secondary
1330
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:34,400
if we can get the ball out and
have to force him to make a play
1331
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,300
in space.
He's a little bit better when he
1332
01:14:37,300 --> 01:14:41,400
kind of come up and get a Fin
early in the snap if he's late
1333
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,300
and he's kind of on the island
he's cooked.
1334
01:14:44,900 --> 01:14:48,900
Okay.
And he's improved his coverage,
1335
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,500
particularly man coverage so he
looks a lot better in coverage
1336
01:14:52,500 --> 01:14:54,600
than he's looked.
I think the last probably two
1337
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:58,600
years that We looked at tape on
him, but I'd say he's more
1338
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,100
dangerous on special teams and
he is on defense.
1339
01:15:02,700 --> 01:15:04,800
All right.
Yeah, the Special Teams.
1340
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,300
I mean, and it's solid numbers
me.
1341
01:15:08,300 --> 01:15:12,000
He's got 500 turns for, you
know, 64 yards.
1342
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,900
So almost average in 13 which is
that can be a field.
1343
01:15:14,900 --> 01:15:17,900
Flipper, catch that at the 25,
get it up to the 40.
1344
01:15:18,700 --> 01:15:21,700
That's that guy changes games,
things like that.
1345
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:26,400
It's just the camera on Kelly.
Things always funny because of
1346
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:28,700
the announcement was big when it
happened because he played it
1347
01:15:28,700 --> 01:15:32,200
Oscar Smith to feel like a big
win and then a month later, he
1348
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:36,800
Flipped and and he's been doing
his own thing since.
1349
01:15:36,900 --> 01:15:40,400
All right, one more player on
the defense before we take a
1350
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:44,300
look at more defensive scheme.
And let's talk about big guy
1351
01:15:44,300 --> 01:15:48,400
Desmond Evans, six foot six to
sixty five defensive end
1352
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:53,700
Sanford, North Carolina, Lee
County High School, 20:24 star
1353
01:15:53,700 --> 01:15:56,600
type hundred player.
The number two player in North
1354
01:15:56,600 --> 01:16:01,500
Carolina that year and a top ten
weeks I'd defensive end
1355
01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:04,800
position.
And as men's issue Desmond this
1356
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:10,200
year, 15 total tackles no loss
or sacks, which kind of
1357
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:13,000
interesting knowing that he's
putting his hand in the dirt a
1358
01:16:13,008 --> 01:16:16,000
little bit more brine, but
what's he doing?
1359
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:21,100
Good that he caught, he, you
know, he caught my eye but then
1360
01:16:21,100 --> 01:16:23,300
he called you're out of stay on
here for review.
1361
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,100
Yeah, I mean, he's a long
defensive end with really good
1362
01:16:27,100 --> 01:16:31,700
size, I mean, that's, that's
evident they were 66 to 65, you
1363
01:16:31,708 --> 01:16:37,400
know, that's It's prototypical
NFL size right there.
1364
01:16:38,700 --> 01:16:41,100
Plays a good leverage sets, a
good Edge.
1365
01:16:42,500 --> 01:16:45,800
He's probably the best rusher
they have despite not having any
1366
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,500
any shown up on the stat sheet
yet.
1367
01:16:49,500 --> 01:16:51,600
But he struggles at times to
shed blocks.
1368
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,800
I mean, that's that's the big
thing is that if you can get
1369
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:56,900
engaged with him.
Well, he doesn't do a good job
1370
01:16:56,900 --> 01:17:00,400
of pursuit.
He doesn't do a great job of
1371
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,500
kind of getting away from.
From his blocker and making a
1372
01:17:03,508 --> 01:17:05,800
play after he gets fully
engaged.
1373
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,000
But if you get some move early
he does a pretty good job there.
1374
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:14,800
And you know, a lot of times
he's like a split second from
1375
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,400
getting home on a lot of these
rushes.
1376
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:21,400
So we still got to make sure
that we contain him that we're
1377
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,200
identifying him when he's on the
field.
1378
01:17:24,300 --> 01:17:26,700
Yep.
And you you kind of said it, you
1379
01:17:26,708 --> 01:17:29,200
know, he has no sax but he's
their best pass rusher.
1380
01:17:29,300 --> 01:17:31,300
They only have seven sacks for
the year.
1381
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,700
So, So those are I'm sure I
think our linebackers making
1382
01:17:34,700 --> 01:17:37,900
making some sacks there.
So it's really interesting to
1383
01:17:37,900 --> 01:17:41,500
see that and I mean once again
is it a potential in Avail
1384
01:17:41,500 --> 01:17:45,000
Talent wasted on the defensive
side at Carolina under Gene
1385
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,700
chizik defense potentially.
So let's actually talk about
1386
01:17:48,700 --> 01:17:51,800
that defense Prime because last
year and the last few years,
1387
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:54,600
when we talked about this team,
they were running to 45.
1388
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:57,600
They hired Gene chizik to this
point.
1389
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,800
It doesn't look like he's fixing
things, but what does it look
1390
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:04,500
like when they play?
Yeah, it's a lot less attacking
1391
01:18:04,500 --> 01:18:10,800
a lot more fundamentals and kind
of playing playing positions.
1392
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:16,200
And right now, it's a multiple
front, it's a 425 base.
1393
01:18:16,700 --> 01:18:21,700
They use a hybrid, The Players
called a star which is kind of
1394
01:18:21,708 --> 01:18:25,000
like a whipped I position.
And then a hybrid another hybrid
1395
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,600
player called a jack which is
like a defensive end linebacker
1396
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:32,200
that's where you see, Noah
Taylor former UVA.
1397
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:39,100
Linebacker lining up for them.
They don't have much success
1398
01:18:39,100 --> 01:18:41,900
unless they kind of get you
behind the sticks early, and
1399
01:18:41,900 --> 01:18:47,700
then can bring some of those
blitzes and put some pressure.
1400
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,800
They Don't Really pressure on
early Downs.
1401
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:56,800
It's very specific on Third and
behind the sticks or or
1402
01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:01,100
situational.
They get gashed a lot in the Run
1403
01:19:01,100 --> 01:19:05,300
game.
They don't do a good job holding
1404
01:19:05,300 --> 01:19:08,300
up in their in their gaps.
So there is some opportunity
1405
01:19:08,300 --> 01:19:09,800
there.
Maybe we see some progress with
1406
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:11,600
our offensive line this week
against this.
1407
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:15,500
This front.
They are not the the huge front
1408
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:20,800
with Dynamic athletes that we
saw with West Virginia last
1409
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:25,700
week, There's No Jordan
Jefferson or Dante Stills on
1410
01:19:25,700 --> 01:19:30,300
this team.
So you know, there is some
1411
01:19:30,300 --> 01:19:33,300
opportunity, there they're very
Very inconsistent in their
1412
01:19:33,300 --> 01:19:35,500
secondary, especially with
communication.
1413
01:19:35,900 --> 01:19:38,000
There's coverage breakdowns all
over the place.
1414
01:19:38,700 --> 01:19:41,000
They get fooled a lot with
play-action, misdirection,
1415
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,300
things like that.
And you notice that I didn't
1416
01:19:44,300 --> 01:19:48,300
mention storm, duck or Tony
Grimes.
1417
01:19:48,500 --> 01:19:51,600
You didn't enjoy this preview
because they have almost
1418
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:56,900
disappeared in terms of their
impact on this defense and that
1419
01:19:56,900 --> 01:20:00,100
kind of started last year and
it's carried over to this year
1420
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:03,500
and I'd say it's even worse.
I mean, You know, there were
1421
01:20:03,500 --> 01:20:06,700
guys on the sidelines against
Notre Dame, you know, fighting
1422
01:20:06,700 --> 01:20:10,300
white boards and fighting you
had Tony Grimes, get pulled
1423
01:20:10,300 --> 01:20:15,100
after a stupid penalty on a
late, hit out of bounds.
1424
01:20:16,100 --> 01:20:20,000
There are just so many things
that they're doing to hurt
1425
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,900
themselves right now.
And we know that we've, we've
1426
01:20:22,900 --> 01:20:24,900
experienced that on our side as
well.
1427
01:20:25,500 --> 01:20:29,300
The difference is that we're
producing when we're not hurting
1428
01:20:29,300 --> 01:20:32,800
ourselves, they are not and
that's why we're We're looking
1429
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:37,500
at another situation of a
stoppable force meeting a
1430
01:20:37,500 --> 01:20:41,900
movable object as we head down
to Chapel Hill for Saturday.
1431
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,800
Yeah, the old stoppable for
first against the movable
1432
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:49,700
objects in a hurricane what?
It's bound to go wrong there,
1433
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:56,000
good breakdowns on the defense
and on the offense Prime and
1434
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,800
after seeing your notes and then
looking through things, I feel
1435
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:03,300
like we got some keys out here
that it's to me, it's got to
1436
01:21:03,300 --> 01:21:05,100
happen.
And I mean the first key, I look
1437
01:21:05,100 --> 01:21:06,900
at this week is the Hokies
running game.
1438
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,700
You've already mentioned, how
this is not a good defense in
1439
01:21:09,700 --> 01:21:12,700
the proofs in the pudding.
I mean North Carolina's giving
1440
01:21:12,700 --> 01:21:16,100
up, over 216 yards, running per
game.
1441
01:21:16,100 --> 01:21:18,100
They're almost given up five
yards.
1442
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:22,000
Rush, there are 120 third in the
nation.
1443
01:21:23,100 --> 01:21:28,300
And the honest truth is, if we
can't get the Run game, going
1444
01:21:28,500 --> 01:21:32,200
this game, then it's probably
not going to happen this year.
1445
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,000
Maybe against UVA late in the
season.
1446
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:36,600
Their defense is looking great
either.
1447
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,000
But like this is your chance,
right?
1448
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:43,400
This is the chance to the plays
that we feel like we need.
1449
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,800
We need to find the bread and
butter on the outside of the
1450
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,500
finding poles.
Some of those things, maybe even
1451
01:21:48,500 --> 01:21:51,200
some jet sweeps.
I know well no one wants to hear
1452
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:52,300
it.
Ha ha, ha.
1453
01:21:53,100 --> 01:21:58,200
Curtis said a dirty word with
tell me that running the Jet
1454
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:01,200
Sweep.
It like Keshawn King potentially
1455
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:04,300
couldn't break some big play.
Plays this week especially how
1456
01:22:04,300 --> 01:22:08,300
they run.
Yeah I mean if you want to do it
1457
01:22:08,300 --> 01:22:10,800
you can do it to Connor Blum
like bummer because well so
1458
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,800
that's why I got to put it.
I think we need to get a little
1459
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,800
more creative with how we get
the ball in space, whether it's
1460
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:22,300
more of those quick screens, two
tight ends, or we can kind of
1461
01:22:22,300 --> 01:22:26,100
get to the edge quickly and then
get up field and almost use that
1462
01:22:26,100 --> 01:22:32,000
as a quasi running play or, you
know, something more creative in
1463
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,500
the Game.
Again, I'd like to see more pain
1464
01:22:34,500 --> 01:22:38,100
and pulls in more more, more
plays that attack that
1465
01:22:38,100 --> 01:22:41,100
perimeter.
And I think we will see more
1466
01:22:42,100 --> 01:22:47,300
this week.
Just because being honest, you
1467
01:22:47,300 --> 01:22:51,600
know, even with the players for
man fronts, regardless of what
1468
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,900
the guys look like for, man,
fronts are a little bit easier
1469
01:22:53,900 --> 01:22:58,300
to design runs runs against them
in three main fronts.
1470
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:03,100
So You know, I think we'll see a
little bit more consistency this
1471
01:23:03,100 --> 01:23:10,400
week, just because of that.
Yeah, now now just so bronze.
1472
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:13,000
Mentioned the passing of
Defense, that's not much better.
1473
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,700
We've already talked about it in
the keys with the bad.
1474
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,800
They're giving up almost 280
yards through the air there
1475
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:22,600
113th and that the defense isn't
good whatsoever.
1476
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,800
It's like if, if there ever was
an offense that needed to play a
1477
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:30,000
defense to fix things, we're
walking up to that off.
1478
01:23:30,100 --> 01:23:33,800
Into this week.
Like fix the shit fix the ship.
1479
01:23:34,100 --> 01:23:37,300
Shout-out, Glen Pereira watching
us out there on YouTube tonight.
1480
01:23:37,300 --> 01:23:42,100
Alright, let's look on the UNC
offensive side because when I
1481
01:23:42,100 --> 01:23:46,300
dug into this stat it's sort of
I'm not going to say, shocked
1482
01:23:46,300 --> 01:23:52,400
me, but so far this year, UNC
hundred first downs, 51 via
1483
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:57,000
passing the can, when I think of
that in a potential wet sloppy
1484
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,500
game, the winds not going to be
howling as bad.
1485
01:23:59,500 --> 01:24:04,300
They're saying, 10 to 15 up to
25 and you've said it already a
1486
01:24:04,308 --> 01:24:06,800
couple times tonight.
Brian with how they're they're
1487
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:11,600
leaning on the past.
And when I see a team over 50%
1488
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,000
that's how they get their first
downs you take away their run
1489
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:16,900
game.
I mean you can key in
1490
01:24:16,900 --> 01:24:21,400
potentially maybe jump one.
Yeah if we can take away their
1491
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:25,400
run game and they get a little
hesitant throwing a deep ball
1492
01:24:26,100 --> 01:24:29,300
and we're forcing them to have
to Dink and dunk the whole game.
1493
01:24:29,300 --> 01:24:32,200
I think that played Into our
favor because that's when we've
1494
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,200
seen maybe make some of his
mistakes.
1495
01:24:35,900 --> 01:24:38,700
That's when we seen his
technique, get a little, a
1496
01:24:38,700 --> 01:24:42,100
little lacks there.
So if we can do that, that that
1497
01:24:42,100 --> 01:24:43,600
bodes.
Well again, you know, they've
1498
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:47,900
had 51 through the air with, I
think 30, 30, some running and
1499
01:24:47,900 --> 01:24:50,600
then they've had like 10 or 12
through three penalties.
1500
01:24:51,300 --> 01:24:57,400
Yeah 151 through the air 10 on
penalties 39 rushing.
1501
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:01,100
Yep.
So I mean Almost and a lot of
1502
01:25:01,100 --> 01:25:03,800
those rushing have been made
taking off and getting the
1503
01:25:03,808 --> 01:25:05,000
first.
So it's, you know, it's not a
1504
01:25:05,008 --> 01:25:10,300
lot of design runs for May, but
it's a lot of glove scrambles
1505
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:14,200
where he's making those plays.
So the running game is you know,
1506
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:18,500
very hit-or-miss.
If we can contain that if we can
1507
01:25:18,500 --> 01:25:23,000
control that make them
one-dimensional, make it where
1508
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:27,600
they're not able to, you know,
press our Force players into
1509
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:29,000
having to make a decision if we
know.
1510
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,900
Okay, well, The keys are here.
This is a pass play.
1511
01:25:32,900 --> 01:25:36,400
This is a run play that lets
them play with a little more
1512
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:40,100
technique.
A little bit more freedom there,
1513
01:25:40,700 --> 01:25:44,300
so that's going to be key.
And, you know, we talked about
1514
01:25:44,300 --> 01:25:46,400
it last week.
It's another one this week.
1515
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,400
Hokies Red Zone.
D versus UNC red zone offense.
1516
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,700
Absolutely.
I mean you saw on the tape and
1517
01:25:53,700 --> 01:25:57,400
you mentioned it, they get
inside the 20, they are super
1518
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:01,200
aggressive going for it.
This team hasn't kicked a field
1519
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:03,100
goal inside the Red Zone, all
year.
1520
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:08,000
Yep so take them to think about
that, they've been 14 trips 13,
1521
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,200
touchdowns one, they didn't get
anything.
1522
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,400
So and then I remember, I saw it
and I was like, Brian.
1523
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,900
What's the tape showing your
like, they get down there, there
1524
01:26:15,900 --> 01:26:17,900
they say, screw it.
Yep.
1525
01:26:17,900 --> 01:26:21,500
I think they went three or four
times on Fourth down in the red
1526
01:26:21,500 --> 01:26:24,200
zone and you know, I've only
missed on one of them.
1527
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:30,200
So you know, they're they're
going to be aggressive.
1528
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:32,900
They will?
They want seven, they don't want
1529
01:26:32,900 --> 01:26:35,600
to settle for three, well, when
they're, when they're, what
1530
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,300
they're doing, their defense is
playing, they have to play for.
1531
01:26:38,300 --> 01:26:39,600
So yeah.
Yeah.
1532
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,700
Now they've been, they've been
in a lot of games where they
1533
01:26:42,700 --> 01:26:45,100
felt like, they needed as many
points as possible.
1534
01:26:45,700 --> 01:26:48,300
And they have needed as many
points as possible, and just
1535
01:26:48,300 --> 01:26:51,600
about every game.
I mean, you know, No disrespect
1536
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:55,100
to Florida A&M before.
Am put 26 on this team.
1537
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:59,200
Therefore an A&M is, I mean,
their best an average team in
1538
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:02,400
the division that play in.
And, you know, Broadway, we
1539
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,900
talked about you and see and you
guys look at the Hokies that's
1540
01:27:04,900 --> 01:27:07,400
inside the RedZone, believe it
or not, it's been a strength,
1541
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:11,300
you know, only 12 possessions
inside the Red Zone this year,
1542
01:27:11,500 --> 01:27:15,500
half of a resulted in field
goals Forum touchdowns to I'm
1543
01:27:15,500 --> 01:27:18,500
stopped.
So basically you're looking at
1544
01:27:18,500 --> 01:27:23,000
three quarters of the
possessions Getting down into
1545
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:27,300
the red zone are basically
ending with three or less for
1546
01:27:27,300 --> 01:27:29,400
the team that's playing on the
Hokey.
1547
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:33,800
So I mean, that's a something's
got to give their right either.
1548
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,000
They've got to get it to,
something's got to give here and
1549
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,000
we're going to get them off the
field or they're going to.
1550
01:27:38,500 --> 01:27:40,900
They're going to start putting
touchdowns in there for us.
1551
01:27:40,900 --> 01:27:44,500
So yeah.
Hopefully, with the way that
1552
01:27:44,500 --> 01:27:48,500
we're playing, if we can avoid
those penalties, that give them
1553
01:27:48,500 --> 01:27:52,400
some extra chances there.
I like what we can do there.
1554
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:56,400
All right.
Last one we looked at in Bryan
1555
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,500
already mentioned, the offensive
line is kind of garbage.
1556
01:27:58,500 --> 01:28:03,100
Unc's allow 12 sacks this year.
They've allowed three in each
1557
01:28:03,100 --> 01:28:08,000
game by each team so that no
disrespect App State or do
1558
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:11,500
Georgia Southern team.
They gave up three to them.
1559
01:28:11,500 --> 01:28:14,000
They gave up three to Florida in
them and they gave up three to
1560
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:17,900
Notre Dame.
Which begs the question Bryant,
1561
01:28:17,900 --> 01:28:21,000
should it be to the number?
Be like 20?
1562
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:25,500
I have Drake met was a statue.
Would that be doubled if he's a
1563
01:28:25,500 --> 01:28:27,900
statue?
Would be more if he wasn't
1564
01:28:27,900 --> 01:28:30,600
making the decisions as quickly
as he is there.
1565
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:34,700
Be more like there's this could
be significantly worse than it
1566
01:28:34,700 --> 01:28:41,900
is but the way they play and the
the scheme they have helps them
1567
01:28:41,900 --> 01:28:44,800
avoid some sacks by default.
So the fact that they still have
1568
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:49,500
12 is, I think indicative of how
that offensive plays going right
1569
01:28:49,500 --> 01:28:52,700
now and it's not good.
It's again one of the worst in
1570
01:28:52,700 --> 01:28:55,500
the country at giving up those
type plays.
1571
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:57,700
Alright.
So there you key for the Hokies
1572
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:02,800
to hopefully get the wind.
But now it's prediction time.
1573
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:05,700
Ryan and we were back here.
Again, we have to make
1574
01:29:05,700 --> 01:29:10,600
predictions every week.
So I lived last week, I missed.
1575
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:16,000
What do you say?
This week, well, I think this is
1576
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:21,300
going to be a sloppy messy game.
I think we do a good job of
1577
01:29:21,900 --> 01:29:25,700
turning them into a
one-dimensional team, but I
1578
01:29:25,700 --> 01:29:28,200
think they do get some points on
is I think they do, score some
1579
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,500
touchdowns on us.
I think we actually forced them
1580
01:29:31,500 --> 01:29:36,900
to kick one field goal though,
I've got them getting to 24 and
1581
01:29:36,900 --> 01:29:39,200
I think we make some
improvements on the offensive
1582
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:43,900
side this week.
I think we do some good things
1583
01:29:43,900 --> 01:29:46,600
considering the conditions on
that side of the ball this week,
1584
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:49,500
but I don't think it's enough.
I think we end up with 17.
1585
01:29:49,500 --> 01:29:53,100
So I've got UNC 24, Virginia
Tech 17.
1586
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:58,900
All right, I'm not to are far
off from you Brian you know all
1587
01:29:58,900 --> 01:30:02,600
the stuff we're seeing
offensively and defensively, we
1588
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:06,900
saw the defense essentially hold
a teen that was averaging five
1589
01:30:06,900 --> 01:30:10,700
hundred and twenty yards just
under 100 or just above.
1590
01:30:11,100 --> 01:30:14,400
Arch from their normal, only
give up 26 points.
1591
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:18,300
And the funny part is they gave
up 10 in the last 15 minutes
1592
01:30:18,900 --> 01:30:22,300
against West Virginia.
So I think the game is going to
1593
01:30:22,300 --> 01:30:25,100
be competitive but I've got to
lean you in see on this.
1594
01:30:25,100 --> 01:30:28,600
I think they do punch it in a
couple extra times in the red
1595
01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:34,000
zone and our offense just can't
keep up 28:20 Carolina in this
1596
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:38,000
case.
But they're caveat right?
1597
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:43,400
This week because of how bad.
The conditions and how bad the
1598
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,800
UNC offense is.
Yeah.
1599
01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:48,300
And you know, taking into
account, you know, we might
1600
01:30:48,300 --> 01:30:54,400
clean up some of the penalties
and an excuse that we had last
1601
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:56,300
week as well.
So if you take that into
1602
01:30:56,300 --> 01:31:00,000
account, if we can rush for 150
yards against this team, you
1603
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:04,800
two, if you put that on the stat
sheet, if you go out there and
1604
01:31:05,700 --> 01:31:10,600
are able to establish any type
of consistent running game and
1605
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:16,000
being Efficient if not explosive
in the passing game, I think we
1606
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:17,900
just need to be efficient in the
passing game.
1607
01:31:18,500 --> 01:31:23,000
If we can do those things
against a defense, that's going
1608
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:27,300
to give you those opportunities.
And we, if we can take advantage
1609
01:31:27,300 --> 01:31:31,300
of them, then we've got a chance
here because I think our defense
1610
01:31:31,300 --> 01:31:33,300
is good enough to keep them in
check.
1611
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:36,400
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think they're
1612
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:39,200
going to go out there and
explode for the same type of
1613
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:41,600
points.
They've done not only this year
1614
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,900
but overall I think if we can
hold them in that, you know, mid
1615
01:31:45,900 --> 01:31:49,500
to Upper 20s range, then we have
we have a shot here.
1616
01:31:51,700 --> 01:31:55,400
Absolutely, and again with it
being a wet yucky game, the
1617
01:31:55,400 --> 01:32:00,000
balls definitely going to bounce
funny and again I think we just
1618
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,300
look for improvement, right?
We look for those things Jenkins
1619
01:32:03,300 --> 01:32:05,800
has been Jenkins talked about
with the The beginning of the
1620
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:08,000
episode about cleaning up the
penalties about discipline
1621
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:12,300
playing together.
It's things like that that are
1622
01:32:12,300 --> 01:32:15,900
going to get further.
We're losing games, we're not
1623
01:32:15,900 --> 01:32:18,500
fighting on the sidelines,
right?
1624
01:32:18,900 --> 01:32:21,000
Yep.
There's they're hanging in it
1625
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,900
together.
So, you know, going to be
1626
01:32:23,900 --> 01:32:26,600
interesting to see how it goes.
Alright, Brawn.
1627
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:30,100
So let's talk about our big
screen or for the week here,
1628
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:33,600
I'll lead with this one, it's
going to be 7:30, it's going to
1629
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,600
be in Death Valley.
Top 10 matchup of ACC teams.
1630
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:41,600
Clemson versus NC State likely
to be on the back end of a
1631
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:44,600
hurricane when that game kicks.
I think that's what they're
1632
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:47,200
saying, right?
It's going to be slowly.
1633
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:52,100
Moving away from Clemson as the
game comes in NC State's a six
1634
01:32:52,100 --> 01:32:56,900
and a half Point dog.
In with this one I think NC
1635
01:32:56,900 --> 01:32:58,300
State's going to cover that six
and a half.
1636
01:32:58,300 --> 01:32:59,800
I think it's good.
This is going to be a war.
1637
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:01,000
Like it was it?
Wait.
1638
01:33:01,700 --> 01:33:04,300
I got to watch the last quarter
and a half.
1639
01:33:04,300 --> 01:33:07,900
That was such Entertaining
football game in every sense of
1640
01:33:07,900 --> 01:33:12,000
the word way you can Clemson but
I think Clemson's going to get
1641
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:15,300
them in the something fluky, I
think it's going to be like a
1642
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:21,400
31-28 game and Clemson wins and
the closing minutes with you
1643
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:24,100
know what what?
Whatever they've had stuck up
1644
01:33:24,100 --> 01:33:31,300
there for the last decade.
Yeah, my big one is going to be
1645
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,100
the big new term an Kentucky Ole
Miss.
1646
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:37,900
Brides already planning knowing
that he's not going to be able
1647
01:33:37,900 --> 01:33:40,500
to do anything outside, any yard
work.
1648
01:33:40,700 --> 01:33:42,900
Let's go ahead and circle the
12:00.
1649
01:33:42,900 --> 01:33:46,000
Maybe maybe maybe cook a nice
little heavy lunch.
1650
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,800
They're getting the main.
Yeah, I'm either going to be,
1651
01:33:49,100 --> 01:33:51,300
I'm either going to be here or
down in Virginia Beach.
1652
01:33:51,300 --> 01:33:57,100
So, okay, depending on what the
how quickly the weather gets
1653
01:33:57,100 --> 01:34:00,600
into town is going to determine
whether we take a trip down
1654
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:03,200
there to to my in-laws, this
weekend, or not.
1655
01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:08,300
But either way Going to be
football on a big screen
1656
01:34:09,500 --> 01:34:12,700
somewhere start at noon and it's
going to be Kentucky, Ole Miss
1657
01:34:13,300 --> 01:34:16,700
Ole Miss home, favorite six and
a half points.
1658
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:20,400
I'm taking Kentucky and the six
and a half here.
1659
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:25,400
I think Ole Miss probably wins
this one but I like Kentucky to
1660
01:34:25,700 --> 01:34:31,500
hang in there and keep it close.
Think we'll see to have another
1661
01:34:31,500 --> 01:34:35,700
big game for Kentucky, but I
think Ole Miss It's just has a
1662
01:34:35,700 --> 01:34:37,900
little bit more Firepower,
that's going to close it down in
1663
01:34:37,900 --> 01:34:40,000
the end.
Yeah but I think the Stoops
1664
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:42,600
defense will keep them in there
but that is going to be.
1665
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:45,700
The one thing is we know Lane
can scheme the hell out of
1666
01:34:45,700 --> 01:34:50,000
things on offense and exploit
just enough times to be leaked,
1667
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:52,800
defense has a couple other news
and notes.
1668
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:56,200
We didn't hit it earlier because
we were running a little late.
1669
01:34:56,800 --> 01:35:00,800
The West Virginia game, Thursday
night was ESPN's, highest
1670
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:04,300
Thursday night game in five
years, and that was the Egg Bowl
1671
01:35:04,300 --> 01:35:11,100
back in 20. 17, 1.6 million
viewers and between 9:00 and
1672
01:35:11,100 --> 01:35:13,700
9:30.
It was a little over 2 million
1673
01:35:14,100 --> 01:35:16,000
and it is some people are going
to say, well, that's not a huge
1674
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:19,100
number.
You're competing against the NFL
1675
01:35:19,300 --> 01:35:22,100
which started only 40 minutes
after we kick.
1676
01:35:22,900 --> 01:35:26,900
And one of those Brands being
Pittsburgh being literally, one
1677
01:35:26,900 --> 01:35:31,100
of the big National brand.
So, you know, again, it was one
1678
01:35:31,100 --> 01:35:33,700
of the three biggest brands and
in the sport.
1679
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,700
Yeah.
So doing That I think that again
1680
01:35:36,700 --> 01:35:40,500
it shows you where we are still.
If we play a night game we're
1681
01:35:40,500 --> 01:35:45,600
still going to get people to
turn out fans and casuals alike
1682
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,300
or a drawing.
We're a drone not just for the
1683
01:35:48,300 --> 01:35:52,200
interns.
They peaked take the 9:00.
1684
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:54,900
Well actually, it's exactly.
Yeah.
1685
01:35:55,200 --> 01:36:00,000
The other couple big news was
Jeff Collins getting fired, kind
1686
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:05,300
of shocked that they dry them a
little bit further but I mean I
1687
01:36:05,308 --> 01:36:09,200
thought he had the rest of this
year or at least until November,
1688
01:36:11,300 --> 01:36:15,200
but I mean we've already seen.
There's testing.
1689
01:36:15,900 --> 01:36:22,000
There's the optimum September.
Yeah, so you don't you don't see
1690
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:27,500
the September firing very often
not it happens, the 80s gone
1691
01:36:27,500 --> 01:36:31,800
there as well.
So they are kind of starting
1692
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:35,000
from scratch there and they're
in that department in terms of
1693
01:36:35,100 --> 01:36:40,300
Adding that that brand back up.
Well no now it makes sense.
1694
01:36:40,300 --> 01:36:43,300
If you're going to fire the ad
then you go in fire, the head
1695
01:36:43,300 --> 01:36:45,500
coach.
So when that ad walks in he
1696
01:36:45,500 --> 01:36:48,200
knows job one.
And actually, he can sit across
1697
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:50,300
the table from you in the
interviews and tell you who he's
1698
01:36:50,300 --> 01:36:53,800
going after and what he's going.
After, what you can see that
1699
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,300
they need a different Vision, it
wasn't just, can I bring in a
1700
01:36:57,308 --> 01:37:01,900
guy that has that young has
energy can recruit And can and
1701
01:37:01,900 --> 01:37:03,900
can put a competent team out
there.
1702
01:37:04,900 --> 01:37:10,700
That wasn't enough early.
I think Collins Didn't really
1703
01:37:10,700 --> 01:37:13,300
conform to the role as well as
they thought.
1704
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:19,100
I think there were, there were
times where they, the coaching
1705
01:37:19,100 --> 01:37:22,000
staff hurt themselves.
Just as much as the opponent
1706
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:27,700
did.
But in the same time, I think
1707
01:37:27,700 --> 01:37:30,700
they're looking for a completely
different direction at this
1708
01:37:30,700 --> 01:37:32,800
point because I don't, I don't
think they.
1709
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:35,700
I think they see, they can't
just go back to apologize.
1710
01:37:35,700 --> 01:37:42,400
Onsen, you know, Academy Style.
Offense and have success but
1711
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:47,700
they also can't just throw the
flavor of the week you know
1712
01:37:47,700 --> 01:37:51,800
offensive-minded spread system
in there and just you plug and
1713
01:37:51,808 --> 01:37:55,100
play.
They had some good players that
1714
01:37:55,100 --> 01:37:59,100
came in there initially Gibbs.
Holy moly herbs.
1715
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:03,000
Yeah, and Jeff Simmons.
Yeah.
1716
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:06,900
But they never were able to put
put the full picture together
1717
01:38:07,900 --> 01:38:12,800
and they ER we're a pretty
sizable rebuild.
1718
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:17,000
They are literally, the
hurricane took the house into
1719
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:20,400
the ocean rebuild.
Yeah, I've been seriously.
1720
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:23,100
Like, it's like, literally,
you're relaying the foundation
1721
01:38:23,100 --> 01:38:24,900
there.
I mean, and Collins had a big
1722
01:38:24,900 --> 01:38:27,600
job.
I mean, going from shrimp.
1723
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:31,200
Allow they were recruiting on
offense to what they were trying
1724
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:33,900
to do with the spread.
I mean, you know, we're seeing
1725
01:38:33,900 --> 01:38:37,000
it now with an opponent.
We play with whatever they're
1726
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,900
trying to do the same thing
right now and it's not Going
1727
01:38:39,900 --> 01:38:46,000
well at all and you know you
talk about square peg, round
1728
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:47,500
hole.
That's, that's very much I
1729
01:38:47,500 --> 01:38:49,600
think.
What, what was happening there?
1730
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:54,400
There wasn't a plan to ease from
one system into another.
1731
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:59,000
It was very much.
A, this is what we're doing, you
1732
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,800
know, get on board or or, or
not.
1733
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:05,600
And I think just there wasn't
enough success.
1734
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:08,600
And there wasn't enough
trajectory that said we're
1735
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:12,700
moving in the right direction.
Direction at this point where
1736
01:39:12,700 --> 01:39:15,400
the product on the field was
acceptable anymore.
1737
01:39:16,300 --> 01:39:19,400
There you go.
Brian.
1738
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:22,800
I'm looking here at CBS Sports,
looks like some games are
1739
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:27,200
getting moved to Sunday Eastern
Washington and Florida.
1740
01:39:28,700 --> 01:39:33,300
You see, FSM, you know, change
to Wake Forest, Florida state
1741
01:39:33,300 --> 01:39:38,900
yet, South Carolina and he threw
the ultimate Clausen through the
1742
01:39:38,900 --> 01:39:42,100
ultimatum out there, though.
So we'll see if he stands by it.
1743
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:49,500
Well, I mean it is what it is.
I'm South Carolina and all this
1744
01:39:49,500 --> 01:39:52,000
is suck.
South Carolina are see the south
1745
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:57,500
Florida and East Carolina.
Originally scheduled to kick at
1746
01:39:57,500 --> 01:39:59,700
Raymond.
James Stadium, are going to go
1747
01:39:59,700 --> 01:40:03,100
to Boca, they're going to the
other side of the state to play.
1748
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:10,200
Oh Cam and it'll kick off at
2:00 and other me that that
1749
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:12,800
Tampa side is going to get, get
hit pretty good.
1750
01:40:13,100 --> 01:40:15,600
Well, I talked to my buddy, Mike
at work today, you know, it's
1751
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,500
been 100 years since a took a
direct hit from a hurricane.
1752
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:21,500
Man, that's insane.
Like me.
1753
01:40:21,500 --> 01:40:23,300
And him were just, I'm like,
serious.
1754
01:40:23,300 --> 01:40:26,000
And then you start thinking
about it, it has an IT wrecks
1755
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:27,200
there.
I mean, it's going to really
1756
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:30,200
wrecked South Carolina.
South Carolina, state moves to
1757
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:33,700
Thursday night, Shane.
Beamer did that strictly because
1758
01:40:33,700 --> 01:40:36,800
he knows he has a war on his
hands against Kentucky next
1759
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:38,200
week.
Might as well get two extra days
1760
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:40,300
of prep.
Right there we go.
1761
01:40:40,500 --> 01:40:43,600
Nothing wrong.
That will see if clausen's
1762
01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:46,200
ultimatum holds holds tight
there.
1763
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:54,000
Well the weird part is it's the
Saturday, it's going to be
1764
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,700
further up the coast.
Now if you talk about it's
1765
01:40:56,700 --> 01:40:59,000
dangerous travel and I don't my
kids stay there.
1766
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:07,100
I get it completely.
So move the game to 7:00 or move
1767
01:41:07,100 --> 01:41:10,100
your flight up.
So you're there a day early and
1768
01:41:10,100 --> 01:41:12,500
you can prep in other
facilities?
1769
01:41:12,700 --> 01:41:15,000
Yeah, who knows?
It's going to be interesting
1770
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:17,400
weekend.
All right, since nothing else is
1771
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:18,300
breaking that.
I see.
1772
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:20,700
E, we need to talk about.
