We're finally here! Our first game preview of the year. This week the Hokies head down I-64 to Norfolk to take on the Monarchs of Old Dominion. This game not only kicks off the 2022 season but also the beginning of the Pry Era in Blacksburg. We take a look at what the Monarchs bring to the table and what the Hokies will need to do well to secure a victory in Norfolk.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,300
My name is Curtis Wilson.
I'm Brian Sigler, buddy.
3
00:00:54,300 --> 00:01:00,000
We are back finally on game
week.
4
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:02,800
We have a game.
This Friday.
5
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,400
It's actually happening.
How you feeling buddy?
6
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,800
It's been what eight long months
of no hokey football and it is
7
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:17,500
back this Friday. 7 p.m.
ESPN you on a Friday night.
8
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:21,100
I'm just so glad it's back, man.
It's been so much fun this week
9
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:25,200
doing the old hat of Looking at
data looking at Players talking
10
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,600
with you about shit shooting the
breeze and knowing that it's
11
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,600
back.
Regardless what happens?
12
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,100
The Hokies are back on the field
Friday night and me and I can't
13
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,400
wait.
Yeah, it's gonna be nice to
14
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,000
finally have some actual stuff
to argue about.
15
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,200
That's actually on the record
and not speculative, right?
16
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,200
Like we feel like the between
the timeline between the chats
17
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,500
between you nobody's at work.
Work, things like that.
18
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:57,100
Like, we've been talking
speculatively about what these
19
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:59,600
Hoagies can do.
We're about to finally have some
20
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,100
real stuff to talk about and it
was kind of good to kind of get
21
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:06,500
back into that flow of watching
the tape.
22
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,900
Breaking it down, seeing what
the opponents are all about.
23
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,100
Looking at the data to see if we
can, you know, peel the onion
24
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:16,400
back a little bit on the who the
monarchs are and how the Hokies
25
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,000
can go about putting them down.
Absolutely.
26
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,600
That's the fun part in.
This is the fun part of our
27
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,800
season from Now until December
because the content rights
28
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,200
itself, we have to do the
research, we have to figure out
29
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:33,500
the data points, where they're
not good, where they're bad or
30
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:35,100
where we're speculating their
good and bad.
31
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:38,100
Because right now, all we have
to look at is the 2021 season,
32
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:40,700
which we were peeling back from
looking at tape, looking at
33
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:45,900
data, and then going into this.
But before we get deepen that
34
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:48,800
tonight because Know, The Enemy
is coming up in a little while,
35
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,800
here, we do have Hokies news and
notes and Ryan, when this tweet
36
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,400
dropped, last week, we had
gotten the winds, we had gotten
37
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,800
the winds that it was going to
happen, we felt it and it's
38
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,200
coming.
It was kind of Return of the
39
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,500
lunch pail to Virginia check
that tweet that went out with JC
40
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,400
in jgw and Xavier and Pearson
all speaking to what it meant to
41
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,900
them.
And then seeing some of the
42
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:20,000
highlights of those guys
playing, like it just it just
43
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,300
got you this warm fuzzy feeling
inside.
44
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,000
At least it did me.
Yeah, I was right there with you
45
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,300
man.
It feels like a I mean we talked
46
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:34,600
about the prior has been a
culture, hire a big-time culture
47
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,700
higher, and there's no bigger
emblem of the Virginia Tech
48
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:43,300
culture than the lunch pail in
the lunch pail defense, correct.
49
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:45,500
Bringing that back.
Was a no brainer price.
50
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:47,400
Said it was a no-brainer and
it's something that's been in
51
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,300
the works since he was hired.
I'm glad they kind of saved it,
52
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,800
kept it.
Kept it under wraps for as long
53
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,500
as they could and unveiled it
when they did.
54
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,300
It was a good way to kind of
roll into the season with a
55
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:03,200
little bit of extra hype a
little bit extra juice juice
56
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:06,400
and, and I'm excited, and I'm
excited about what that means
57
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,200
for this defense.
I mean, you know, we can talk
58
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,500
about it all.
We want to about, you know, it's
59
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:19,200
just a lunch pail, but I think
It's what it stands for and what
60
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,500
that can do in terms of
motivation for your play and
61
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,100
motivation, for your work, ethic
and things like that.
62
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:28,600
When you have that type of
tradition, people, take it
63
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,500
seriously, and that can Elevate
their work that can Elevate
64
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:33,700
their play.
It is a mentality.
65
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:37,100
Yeah, it is mentality.
And I know here in prodded a
66
00:04:37,108 --> 00:04:40,200
speak at the presser about, it's
always been a thing for the
67
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,700
defense, but I think if we look
in the history of Virginia Tech,
68
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:45,800
the lunch pail is a mentality
for the whole team.
69
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,800
It was a for the you no offense
back as we were coming up when
70
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,300
we used to just rode great
people and put people into
71
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,900
misery or hit them with a
high-fly play.
72
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,600
After you beating them down or
the block ponds or Beamer ball.
73
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,500
So, it was, it's that mentality
across the whole team.
74
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:09,800
And if you can remember like one
of the old traditions were when
75
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,100
you went on the field or when
you went to someone else's place
76
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:17,100
in one, you took the lunch pail
to the Middlefield you dug out a
77
00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:19,800
big chunk of it.
You threw it in there because
78
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,900
you claim their Turf, that
mentality is something I love
79
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,300
something else, I loved and I
think having guys on the staff,
80
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,400
two guys that were part.
When that lunch pail first
81
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,800
appeared, 27 years ago in 1995
and again, it gets you kind of
82
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,200
emotional and think about it was
when Pearson Prelude, one of the
83
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,600
all-time hooky Greeks Comes in
gets the lunch pail talks about
84
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000
it and presents it to tomorrow.
Connor to be the holder for this
85
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,200
year like that, that if you
didn't have some onions watching
86
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,100
that it's tough to say.
If you're Virginia Tech pain, if
87
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:58,400
you know, what Pearson was to
the program and how big of an
88
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,800
impact he had.
Yeah, it's a big deal and I
89
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,400
know, you know, we saw people
talk about on the timeline that
90
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,300
world that offensive side of it
to like you were talking about,
91
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:11,200
you know, Dwight was saying, you
know, it was a mentality.
92
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,500
That we all had, even though it
wasn't, you know, a lunch pail
93
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:17,300
offense, was lunch pail defense.
We had that mentality, but we
94
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:22,300
also knew that, you know, as the
offense, you know, that lunch
95
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:25,800
pail defense could pick us up.
Yeah, when things weren't
96
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,500
weren't going quite the way we
want to.
97
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,000
And I think that mentality
knowing that defense has that
98
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,900
mentality for you that can help
the offensive mentality as well
99
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:37,800
as a.
Okay, well, we don't got to get
100
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,300
all of them.
We just got to get the ones that
101
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:42,700
count.
Absolutely, absolutely.
102
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:45,800
So big thing, big motivational
kind of done it.
103
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,600
A really good point in time as
they get into that game week,
104
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,200
sort of the unveiling of that
and seeing everybody speak to it
105
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,600
and knowing the history behind
it.
106
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,500
All right, let's flip over real
quick.
107
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:00,600
Couple injury notes.
Benji guy Snail out for the
108
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,800
season.
Matt Johnson out for the season.
109
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:07,500
Benji.
Done really hurt sucks.
110
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:10,400
You tours his other sucks.
It looks like it could
111
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,200
potentially be another torn ACL.
You know usually you hear one
112
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,600
go.
A lot of times that other one
113
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,500
blows out or sand.
Achilles only year that also the
114
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:23,600
walk on Matt Johnson out here
from Deep Run price.
115
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,600
Said it.
Got we expect to be on special
116
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,800
teams contributor out for the
seasons.
117
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,700
Well, not specified.
Benji's wasn't specified either.
118
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:34,900
I'm speculating either ACL or
Achilles because usually, when
119
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:38,600
you hear, One go you here injury
and you here season ended.
120
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,500
It's usually the other of the
Achilles blew out.
121
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Yep.
Yeah, I mean it happens often
122
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,500
times because you know you're
compensating for the one and
123
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:50,900
next thing you know, the other
one goes, you know, thankfully
124
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:58,000
it's not the same one I'm Toby
and generally in generally, you
125
00:07:58,008 --> 00:08:02,800
know, once you have those ACLS
generally, once they're back
126
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,500
there, they're a little more
solid than they were the first.
127
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,600
Go round so yeah, let's hope
that's the case for him.
128
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Speedy recovery to both of those
gentlemen, but again, two guys
129
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,800
that were going to be minimal to
sub minimal contributors for the
130
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,400
2022 season.
Probably hurts more with Johnson
131
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,200
than anything.
Probably having a guy like him
132
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,100
out there that on a special
teams unit.
133
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,400
Probably more than Gaza know who
may have found the red shirt
134
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,400
regardless this year.
All right, something else kind
135
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,500
of talked about last week that
caught my eye eye, man.
136
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:39,200
Like that was Brent Pride.
Discussing with the Gameday Ops
137
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,400
are going to look like on the
defensive side of the ball and
138
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,500
getting a little into the
offensive side of the ball.
139
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:46,900
Defensively.
He said straight up along with
140
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:50,500
himself, obviously Chris Marvel
in the field.
141
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:53,900
Derrick Jones on the field
Jayceon dip.
142
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:59,100
Any, any shock seeing that?
I mean, know you got you got one
143
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:02,000
guy at each level of the the
defense out there, so that just
144
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,700
makes sense.
All right, that's a, that's a
145
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:07,800
guy on the field that can talk
specifically to each level.
146
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,800
The defense get them where they
need to be.
147
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,100
And then also obviously I feel
like defensive coordinators have
148
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:18,500
a better feel for the game when
they're calling it from the
149
00:09:18,508 --> 00:09:20,600
sidelines.
Yeah that's a big thing.
150
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,700
Even though we know prize going
to be calling it most of the
151
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:26,400
time, I'm sure there's going to
be input with more of there.
152
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,400
I think having a guy like JC on
the sidelines is Big because JC
153
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,200
is a fire guy you know kind of
like tap was before you know
154
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:40,800
kind of like Charlie whiles you
sold them.
155
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Get animated on the sidelines,
they punch things, they break
156
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,000
things shit.
Hopefully JC doesn't break his
157
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,200
hand at any point in time.
This year, that is what it is.
158
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,100
Obviously if those three guys
are on the field, it's leaving
159
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,800
Pearson Prelude and Sean Quinn
up in the box.
160
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:00,800
And I think you just Kind of
said, it piercing on the back
161
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:07,900
end with Quinn coaching.
The nickel in the Sam's closer
162
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:09,200
to the line of scrimmage.
Right?
163
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:14,200
Yep, that's exactly it.
And I think also, when you look
164
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,500
at it you're talking about two
very cerebral and experienced
165
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,700
folks in the booth in terms of
breaking down.
166
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:26,400
Oh yeah, what's happening?
You got, I mean Pearson
167
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,300
obviously with with his pedigree
And then you talk about Quinn, a
168
00:10:29,308 --> 00:10:34,200
guy that has been, you know, a
head coach at another level, a
169
00:10:34,208 --> 00:10:37,100
guy that's been defensive
coordinator at another level.
170
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:41,700
So he's a guy that can diagnose
and get that information down to
171
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,500
the sidelines when you see
something different than what
172
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:48,600
they see from that position.
Yeah, so that's the way it'll
173
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,000
look.
So as your kind of perusing, the
174
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
sidelines notice, you'll notice
those three guys, maybe they
175
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,900
shape Pearson up in the Box.
I almost want to make a bet that
176
00:10:56,900 --> 00:11:00,100
they will show Pearson in the
Just because he played in his
177
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:03,100
first year coaching.
Alright, offensive game day.
178
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:07,000
We didn't get as much on it, but
we kind of got that they've been
179
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,300
toying around with her to be
Brad, Lynn or Tyler, Bowing in
180
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:13,600
the box.
And kind of the way Pride came
181
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,200
off of how it was going to be in
the Box, not a shock with an
182
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,100
offensive coordinator.
And Glenn was going to be on the
183
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:22,700
field potentially.
He didn't really talk to anyone
184
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:27,400
else, but let's just kind of do
some speculation. if bones in
185
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:34,200
the box and Glen's on the field,
let's start with Joe Rudolph?
186
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,700
Where's Joe Rudolph boxer field?
I'd say he is on the field,
187
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:45,300
okay?
Now, from your plan experience,
188
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:48,300
I'm assuming that with an
offensive line coach they need
189
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:50,300
to be on the field because of
the amount of people they need
190
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:53,300
to talk with.
Yeah.
191
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:57,100
I mean, I've never had a
offensive line coach that was in
192
00:11:57,100 --> 00:12:02,100
the booth in my, in my all my
years of playing, I never had
193
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:03,900
offensive line coach, that was
in the food.
194
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:07,100
So my assumption is that he will
be there unless there's
195
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:11,200
obviously, you know, a backup
line coach might be up there,
196
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,900
but but never never never the
primary position coach.
197
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:18,800
My other thought is that
fontelle Minds will also be on
198
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,600
the field.
Okay, because if you've got,
199
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,600
I'll say this, you've got a,
you've got Boeing up, their
200
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,200
minds is kind of the guy on the
field that can work with the
201
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,300
tight ends and the wide
receivers.
202
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,200
So that's my thought they're.
All right.
203
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,400
What do you think holds up in
the box or do you think it's
204
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,600
only going to be Tyler bowling
with some analysts in the Box
205
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,800
because obviously old some
special teams coordinator?
206
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:49,100
I'm thinking I'm thinking it's
going to be bowing with some of
207
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:52,500
the other assistant position
coaches and some analysts.
208
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:57,500
That's my field, just because of
what hope does from a special
209
00:12:57,500 --> 00:12:59,800
teams coordinator.
You want that guy on the field,
210
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:01,600
okay?
That's going to be interesting
211
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,400
to see.
It will be interesting to see
212
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,000
who is on the field in,
obviously, who's up in the Box.
213
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Hopefully we get some more info
on that.
214
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,600
I would also be interested
because we do have more staffers
215
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,000
who can be in the Box this year.
Especially, you know, Ryan Chris
216
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,800
right behind Chris getting a lot
of Pub from Brent Pride talking
217
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,200
about him.
Is he that second set of As for
218
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,600
Tyler bone in the box where you
can have for the offensive
219
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,300
coaches down the field including
poultry specialty for.
220
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:33,600
So that'll be really
interesting.
221
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:38,600
Well Brian, we were hoping we
were hoping we were hoping and
222
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,000
it did happen today.
Before we went live, the depth
223
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
chart was released.
Well, The Unofficial depth chart
224
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,000
and obviously, we've got a few
things.
225
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,900
We want to talk to on that
tonight.
226
00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:51,100
And let's talk about first, the
one that called your eyes, you
227
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:55,100
mentioned was the wide receiver
room.
228
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:58,600
Yeah, that was that was an
interesting one.
229
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,800
Wasn't it?
When we, when we were looking at
230
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,100
it?
We were like, okay, well, that's
231
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:07,300
a little different because we
talked the last, you know, few
232
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:08,500
weeks who said.
All right?
233
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:14,800
So three guys, pretty much locks
in terms of amount of, about of
234
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:18,800
reps playing time snaps that
they will get in a given game.
235
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,300
What we didn't know is who that
four and five guy, we're going
236
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:28,200
to be.
We now know that that was not a
237
00:14:28,208 --> 00:14:30,600
shock.
Yeah, we're not a shop.
238
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:35,700
We got guys smell in there at
the for it is the 5.
239
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:41,400
That is the pretty big.
I mean I'll say it big shot
240
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,000
William caki V, Texas katowice.
This pack of Itza.
241
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,400
Walk-on wide receiver from
Charlotte 61 195.
242
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:57,500
Four pounds.
Definitely Providence High
243
00:14:57,500 --> 00:15:00,200
School down there.
Redshirt Junior.
244
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:04,100
His name.
Had gotten mention though, you
245
00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:07,700
got mentioned in the last few
weeks about how coach was
246
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:14,200
impressed with him.
Um, you know, there's not much
247
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,400
he redshirted he played a, he
played a few games and 2020 on
248
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,200
special teams.
Don't have any info fee, play
249
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,700
lash.
I'm assuming, if he's a redshirt
250
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:25,600
Junior, you played last year as
well.
251
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,200
But it's one of those chakras
because the fifth guy we were,
252
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,700
you know, Christian moths, Jalen
Jones, plethora of other
253
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:37,300
players.
So it's kind of shocking that
254
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,500
walk on Big Willie.
It's that fifth receiver spot
255
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:45,200
and you know what, good on that
kid.
256
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:49,500
You don't like it for probably
busting his ass giving 110%
257
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:53,900
every day to wear.
If other potentially more
258
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,200
talented players weren't taken
and he's busting his ass.
259
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,100
Yeah, there you go.
I would hope that first play of
260
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:03,400
the game.
He's on the field.
261
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,900
I'll say this.
So you know, we see him.
262
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:10,400
There were a little shocked that
that we see.
263
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,500
Name there.
But we're also not seeing from a
264
00:16:13,508 --> 00:16:17,700
depth chart just because of how
its structured is what those
265
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:21,400
hybrid players are doing within
certain formations whether it's
266
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,700
the three-wide sets or what have
you, because I imagine that
267
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:29,000
we're going to see a whole lot
of Connor blumrich split out
268
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,600
wide.
I imagine that there's going to
269
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:36,300
be sets and formations where we
see chance black split out wide
270
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,000
be shocking.
Yeah, I don't think this is
271
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,500
necessarily You know, he might
be fifth in terms of, you know,
272
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:48,000
he's got a WR next to his name
right now but that's not
273
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,100
necessarily saying he's going to
be the fifth option at the wide
274
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:54,200
receiver position.
Well well we look at because of
275
00:16:54,700 --> 00:16:58,800
how much we have that position
flexibility with some of the
276
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,900
other players in that offense.
Well especially when we look at
277
00:17:01,900 --> 00:17:06,400
tight end and it's literally or
or which tells me Nick's gonna
278
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,700
be on the field, a lot Drake's
going to be on the field a lot.
279
00:17:09,700 --> 00:17:11,200
Conner's going to be on the
field, a lot.
280
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,099
Yeah.
I mean Gary Kent Drake has great
281
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:16,900
athleticism, he can split out,
he can do a lot of things in the
282
00:17:16,908 --> 00:17:21,000
short game with obviously
calling, Connors got some good
283
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,599
speed.
Sounds like his route running
284
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,099
and hands are coming along as
well so you know, we'll see him
285
00:17:27,099 --> 00:17:28,600
a lot.
I feel like and you know they're
286
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,000
going to even do some flexible
things with Gallo.
287
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,300
So this is not going to be and I
haven't even mentioned my
288
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:38,300
favorite player Daquan right
yet.
289
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:40,900
He's not on the depth chart for
on what he's out on the depth
290
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:44,800
chart yet.
He's not on the depth chart yet
291
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,700
what Braun is trying to say is
when you put the wide receiver
292
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:51,600
room on the depth chart it
actually should go wide receiver
293
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,600
than it should Encompass tight
end and it shouldn't come as
294
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,000
running back a little bit.
These are wide receiver well
295
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,300
when you're talking about the
slot position you're probably
296
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:03,200
talking about a truce lot but
then you're also talking about
297
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,500
two or three hybrid players that
are going to be in there as well
298
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,400
and then you probably are going
to see it some point and we saw
299
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,000
it in the spring game, Jaden in
the Wayne kicking out playing.
300
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,500
Wow.
Pipe laying eggs because they
301
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:15,400
did show that position
flexibility.
302
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:19,300
So and that's something we
haven't seen a lot of, you know,
303
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:21,800
shout out David Cunningham and
all the reporters down there and
304
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,100
giving us Insight.
We never saw a lot of those
305
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:27,400
periods where they were truly
run sets with you were like an
306
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,700
see, like get me what they're
running sets.
307
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:31,000
Let me see.
Who's on the field.
308
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,600
We never saw it, obviously, that
will be unveiled Friday night.
309
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,300
All right, let's Flip It To The
bread-and-butter Man.
310
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:44,000
The offensive line.
So Shit, and Daniel Miller Tech
311
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,400
on the on the right side.
I think that's.
312
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:52,700
And I would say that's really
shocking but that's disturbing.
313
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:55,300
But let me break it down a
little bit further than that
314
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:59,900
because I'm not as concerned as
I think some people would be
315
00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:01,700
because when you're talking
about a too deep on the
316
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:05,600
offensive line, you're not
really talking about a to a full
317
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,200
to line.
Most of these guys are not going
318
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,000
to be playing.
It's going to be a 7 to 8, man.
319
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,400
Rotation, you're going to get
your starters and then you're
320
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,700
going to have, you know, your
Braille and more that's going to
321
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:21,600
be a swing guard, probably
Xavier Chaplin, that's going to
322
00:19:21,608 --> 00:19:25,100
be a swing tackle and then
you've got Jack Holly field at
323
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:27,000
Centre.
Those are going to be the eight
324
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,800
guys that are going to primary
reps at the position, barring
325
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,400
significant injury.
Now, if we do have significant
326
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:40,500
injury, it gets a little scary.
But we still have a traditional
327
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:43,700
eight-man rotation that most
offensive line coaches are
328
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:48,300
comfortable with.
I don't think there's a big flaw
329
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:51,600
in any of those first seven or
eight guys.
330
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:54,900
After that, it's a very steep
drop off.
331
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,800
All right.
Do you think Xavier is ready to
332
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,900
play in the first month?
Or is he one of those guys?
333
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:04,000
He's like the seven and a
quarter and it's that first
334
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,300
month and been practice talking
about, he's like, these guys are
335
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:09,600
getting better in the season and
where we hope we don't have to
336
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,500
see him until after.
After four three or four games,
337
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,300
I mean, you want to get him,
some reps at least at Wofford
338
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,600
Saturday and hopefully Saturday
at ODU, Friday, I'm proud of
339
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,900
you.
At least it'll be a Friday night
340
00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:25,700
at least at least at Wofford
though.
341
00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:28,700
You want to get him some
significant reps but then you
342
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:31,200
probably don't want to put him
in there unless you absolutely
343
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:37,400
have to after that because you
probably want to say if we can
344
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,900
red shirt and great.
If we can't that's fine too
345
00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:46,700
because he's ready to play.
So you know, you're holding him
346
00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:49,000
back as much as you can.
You get in maybe one or two
347
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,200
games early in the season and
then unless you absolutely have
348
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,900
to get him reps.
You kind of holding back.
349
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,400
Yeah, absolutely.
Because what the hope is you get
350
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,700
into that November part of the
schedule and you decide which
351
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,800
two games there.
Yep, that you want him to play
352
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,500
in.
To get more reps to get ready
353
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:12,200
for next year to probably be the
FrontRunner for left tackle,
354
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,200
he's the left tackle in waiting
for sure.
355
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,600
Yeah.
He's the left tackle in Waiting,
356
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,100
he's the guy that's gonna
relieve Silas of his duties at
357
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:20,800
the end of the season.
Now we go.
358
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,100
All right, defensive in.
Obviously with the news today
359
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:26,600
that CJ McRae is banged up
there.
360
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,500
Potentially seeing if you will
make the trip down to Norfolk
361
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:35,400
for Friday night and we heard
that it's like, okay and I think
362
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,500
Brian would you got kind of a Is
when you see three young guys on
363
00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:43,300
that, too deep.
Yeah, that was the big thing for
364
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:46,900
me, you know, seeing you know,
McDonald was the one that jumped
365
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:51,800
off in terms of not expecting
him to be at that point.
366
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:55,400
So seeing him there is
interesting, but especially
367
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,900
Burgos and moist and the the
true freshman in there, you
368
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:05,500
know, we got Burgos kind of in
that that quasi two, two, three,
369
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,000
three, three deep at one end.
You got moist in there and I
370
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,800
think, you know, once you get
McRae back Hopefully, it's this
371
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,300
week.
I think that's one of those
372
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:17,200
things where he's banged up
apparently he practiced today.
373
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:22,200
So he's not it's not a
significant injury but it might
374
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,500
be one of those.
He's a guy we're going to need a
375
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:28,700
month from now.
Let's not rush him back against
376
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:30,900
ODU.
Well, it's a guy.
377
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:33,300
You feel like you're going to
need more next week potentially
378
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,500
than this week?
Absolutely.
379
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:38,800
You know, it's one of those
things where if we're
380
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,900
controlling this game in, CJ
doesn't need to Play great less
381
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:44,800
physical toll on his body,
whatever.
382
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,600
Part of the body is injured to
get him healthy and be a full,
383
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,200
go for Boston College, and I
think that's the issue.
384
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,300
But I think seeing those young
guys you starting to see, you
385
00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:59,100
know, some of the older guys who
have been here for a few years,
386
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:00,500
no disrespect to them.
Like Eli.
387
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:03,400
Atoms are kind of getting in the
back seat.
388
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,800
Could they still see potential
time?
389
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,000
Yes, it's the line.
You know, the bodies that aren't
390
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,500
named.
They're still going to get some
391
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:11,600
play time.
So don't I'm not going to be
392
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,600
shy.
About that.
393
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:14,700
Yeah I'm kind of happy.
I'll say this.
394
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:17,100
I'm kind of happy.
I'm not seeing Eli Adams in
395
00:23:17,108 --> 00:23:19,900
there and that's no knock on him
personally.
396
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:27,300
But based on his size and what
he brings his pass rush was
397
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:31,300
never in his speed was never
Elite enough to justify what we
398
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:36,900
gave up in his physical size.
He would get pushed around he
399
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,000
unless he was beating you around
the edge with his speed.
400
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,600
He didn't really bring a lot to
the table solid tackler, but
401
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:48,700
overall just not.
Not a well-rounded player enough
402
00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:53,400
to have out there for more than
a spot spot snap here or there.
403
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:57,200
So seeing these guys, As these
younger guys, come up, making
404
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,200
plays, and challenging, some of
those Veterans for these
405
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,400
rotational spots.
On the defensive line, I think,
406
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,700
is a big thing.
Yep.
407
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,800
Now, what kind of was a shocker
to me was a linebacker and no,
408
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,900
not my crocheting.
Those are exactly probably like
409
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:18,100
we expected to see them, but
when we take a look at the will,
410
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:22,900
it's Jaden Keller.
Gave McDonald or Alan Tisdale
411
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:29,800
The triple or again, in at a
position, unlike tight end where
412
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:32,800
it's very unlikely.
All three are going to be able
413
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,900
to feel the same time.
And I look at this and I just
414
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:39,700
think I think Jaden Keller is
coming on like a freaking
415
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:43,800
freight train to take that spot.
Yeah I mean it looks like Keller
416
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,400
is I mean it's gonna be his I
think by the end of the season
417
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:50,300
like.
If it if it isn't, you know,
418
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:54,700
already he's obviously one a
right now, he's the That's going
419
00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:58,500
to be on the field first.
But the interesting thing that I
420
00:24:58,508 --> 00:25:01,700
saw in there and especially
since we didn't see a guy like
421
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:06,100
Dean Ferguson's name in here,
seeing Jaden McDonald, kind of
422
00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:08,700
ahead of Alan Tisdale and we
knew that Tisdale has been
423
00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:12,300
running with the threes during
some of these scrimmage sessions
424
00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:17,300
in practice.
But We didn't know if that was
425
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:19,900
necessarily indicative of what
the depth chart will look like,
426
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:23,100
if that's just, you know,
something that he's been doing.
427
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:27,300
But apparently, he was wearing a
scout team jersey one day.
428
00:25:27,300 --> 00:25:32,200
And like so this is this is an
interesting situation, but I
429
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,300
said it last week, you know,
this can only be an elevation of
430
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:40,000
playwright because when we talk
about Alan Tisdale's play, it's
431
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,500
always been inconsistent.
He had a breakout year in
432
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:49,800
nineteen and it's kind of Been
steadily and meddling.
433
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,500
He's been meddling.
We know he had things going on
434
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:55,300
in his life birth of a child and
stuff like that.
435
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:58,800
And that trust me that can that
can get you from chasing your
436
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,900
goals to sort of level setting
and normally attempted to attack
437
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,200
those goals again.
So it's just interesting to see
438
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,600
that but everything from Keller
it's just he's getting the size.
439
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,900
I mean he's 63 already he's
already up in the 225 pound
440
00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:20,100
range and he Remember he was a
recruited as a receiver if I
441
00:26:20,108 --> 00:26:25,600
don't recall, right, I believe.
So, and he was an athlete.
442
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:31,100
So this guy has some nasty nasty
athleticism that.
443
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,200
If you're talking about, you
know, next year, is he the mic
444
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,400
is potentially kalai.
Lawson, who was seen at practice
445
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,400
today, which is good, which is
good, same way.
446
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,400
Maybe he's getting closer to
going in that little Nick, he
447
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,300
had is gone.
Gone.
448
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:49,600
I hope so at least for the rest
of the season.
449
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:55,400
But if Keller, is that guy.
I mean athletically in the
450
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,600
linebacking corps, we're going
to go from where we've been
451
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:03,400
solid to back to.
I think Tremaine, I think
452
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,800
Xavier, I think some of those
other guys like that which is a
453
00:27:05,808 --> 00:27:09,800
big step in the right direction
in this era of college football.
454
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,500
Yeah.
And I just checked so he was
455
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:15,800
recruited as a linebacker but he
came in at 2020.
456
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,600
Well, So he's put on 21 pounds
and one and a half Seasons here.
457
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:24,400
I think that's pretty big for
him.
458
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,600
I think that's going to and he's
only going to get better going
459
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,100
forward especially with guys
like Marvin pry.
460
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:35,800
Working with him, so heavily.
So I'm looking forward to seeing
461
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,100
what this kid can do long term
for sure.
462
00:27:38,900 --> 00:27:40,900
Awesome.
Well, last piece want to take a
463
00:27:40,908 --> 00:27:46,800
look at here is the corner back
room and Brie on Murray.
464
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,400
Ian and I'm Hannah cabin at the
York.
465
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:54,700
I'm not shocked to see this
because I think you've been
466
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:57,500
mentioning it over and over
again about situation right
467
00:27:57,500 --> 00:28:00,200
there, some things Armani's, the
better overall.
468
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,800
But there are some things that
Briana Marie does in certain
469
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,600
situations, where he does
benefit.
470
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:12,200
So I think that's big.
I think it's also think it's
471
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,200
awesome to see the DJ Harvey is
holding down the two slot behind
472
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,700
Orion strong.
Yeah, that's big.
473
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:22,000
I like Harvey.
I like that he's, you know, from
474
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,500
all accounts is going to be the
primary Nickelback when we go
475
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:29,700
into that, that Personnel Group.
So it's going to be interesting
476
00:28:29,700 --> 00:28:32,900
to see what happens with the
Armani Chapman Breann.
477
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:36,800
Marie combo there, you know, we
I've mentioned it before Murray
478
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,800
does pretty well.
When he can drive on a route, he
479
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,800
doesn't do great turning and
running, especially with kind of
480
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,400
the the Guys, that have that
combination of speed and and
481
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:56,300
strength and size.
You know, he's five-ten, he's
482
00:28:56,300 --> 00:28:59,700
190, he's not Armani Chapman.
He's got, who's got an inch on
483
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:05,200
him and almost 20 pounds Armani?
Can, you know, fight with those
484
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,000
receivers at the line of
scrimmage a little bit more and
485
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,600
still make up some ground there.
So there's a little bit of
486
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,300
difference there between those
two and I think Murray's, lack
487
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:17,000
of size.
He struggles against guys, We
488
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,600
saw in the spring game with
Caleb Smith, he struggles with
489
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,600
that type of player, a player
with good size, good strength,
490
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,000
and above average speed.
So there's probably going to be
491
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,800
situations where Murray's out
there for stretches and
492
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,400
depending on how he's matchup
and who he's matched up again,
493
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,800
that could be good or bad for
us.
494
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:40,200
I like Chapman overall better
though.
495
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,300
Chapman is a more rounded
player.
496
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,700
There aren't the gaps when he
gets against certain
497
00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:53,600
Competition, there has been some
areas where, you know, the
498
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,400
mental gaps, have been there
where he hasn't been in the
499
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,100
right place in terms of busted
coverages and things like that.
500
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:04,100
But if he can clean that stuff
up, I think he's going to be all
501
00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:06,500
right there
abso-freakin'-lutely.
502
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:11,600
So if you guys haven't checked
it out there, I'm always going
503
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,800
to push.
David Cunningham has it out
504
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:14,700
there.
I think you were a little
505
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:16,600
article for Tech Sidelines
today.
506
00:30:16,700 --> 00:30:20,700
Day discussing with the depth
chart looks like take a look at
507
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:21,900
it.
It's going to be interesting to
508
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:27,200
see what the product as one of
our listeners here tonight.
509
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,300
Matt Jones has said can't wait
to see the own feel product.
510
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:33,600
I think that's what we're all
waiting for now, this change in
511
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,800
culture, that's changing some
philosophies, some upgrades at
512
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,400
certain positions, and now that
it's here, It's here.
513
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,300
So this is what we're going to
do.
514
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:49,100
We are going to take a quick
pause from our digital partners
515

00:31:14,700 --> 00:31:18,300
Now back to the episode All
right, Brian.
525
00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:21,700
So let's flip it here.
Let's get to know the enemy, the
526
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:25,800
ODU monarchs and let's start on
the offensive side of the ball
527
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:29,300
and let's talk about their
quarterback, Hayden wolf of 65,
528
00:31:29,300 --> 00:31:35,100
235 pounds came out in 2019 as a
three-star from Venice, Florida,
529
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:41,200
and then, you know, last year,
had a solid season started ten
530
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,100
games, sixty-three percent,
completion percentage liver,
531
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:49,700
1,900 yards, Words, little over
seven and a half per attempts,
532
00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:54,000
10 touchdown seven
interceptions, you got to look
533
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
at the tape.
What's the tape telling you
534
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,700
about this guy?
Yeah.
535
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:01,700
I mean Hayden wolf is a pretty
good-looking quarterback.
536
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:04,600
He does a good job of working
through his progressions.
537
00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:08,100
The routes.
He likes to throw the best.
538
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:11,900
He throws a good seem good, fade
kind of those intermediate
539
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:15,100
intermediate routes.
Just inside the hash just
540
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:19,100
outside the hash.
He sometimes inaccurate with
541
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:21,400
those intermediate routes,
especially over the middle.
542
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,900
And I'm not talking about the,
the, the Fades of the scenes but
543
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:29,800
more of the, like, digs He's
crossers things of that nature,
544
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,400
he'll miss sometimes, at least
interceptions, sometimes that
545
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:38,100
least, overthrows, his eyes can
be affected by the rush like
546
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:41,600
most quarterbacks but it's
especially true for a guy like
547
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,700
him because he is a true pocket
quarterback.
548
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,700
He is not a quarterback that's
going to move around a lot.
549
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:50,800
He's not a quarterback that is
going to take off a lot.
550
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,100
He is a guy that's going to sit
in the pocket waiting for it to
551
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:56,700
come open.
Go through his progressions and
552
00:32:56,700 --> 00:32:59,200
deliver it.
So, we can get pressure on him
553
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,300
early in the step down.
That's going to improve our odds
554
00:33:01,300 --> 00:33:03,200
of getting off the field.
Yeah.
555
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,500
And you mentioned about not a
true Russian quarterback.
556
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:08,700
I mean, the data shows it.
He only attempted to run 14
557
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:12,900
times in 10 games last year and
with when you accrued that with
558
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:17,000
also the times he was sacked you
as negative 92 yards, rushing
559
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,800
the ball.
So obviously the threats, not
560
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,300
there at all but I know
something you've been
561
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:24,600
mentioning, Brian.
Looking at this offense is
562
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:29,000
talking about the mess.
Shhhh, and what we should be
563
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,000
doing with that concerning.
Hayden wolf.
564
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,300
Yeah, I mean just he's a statue
back there he's not going to
565
00:33:37,308 --> 00:33:41,900
take off and run, there's no
reason to respect the mesh point
566
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:44,300
for the quarterback run because
he's just not going to do it.
567
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:47,900
It's not their attack.
The running back.
568
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:50,900
Make sure your backer is
prepared because they do have
569
00:33:50,900 --> 00:33:54,800
some are BR p 0 type elements in
this offense but there's no
570
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,500
reason to respect the
quarterback taking off and
571
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:01,300
trying to get a first down.
Alright, well let's flip it in.
572
00:34:01,308 --> 00:34:03,800
Let's talk about a couple of his
favorite weapons here tonight.
573
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,900
In the first one is a
legitimately a very large human
574
00:34:07,900 --> 00:34:13,100
being that cunts.
The tight end, six foot eight
575
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:17,300
245 pounds when he came out in
2018.
576
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:19,800
He was a four-star out of Camp
Hill PA.
577
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,000
He was a top 150 player, a
top-five tight end in the
578
00:34:24,007 --> 00:34:26,900
country.
He originally committed to Penn
579
00:34:26,900 --> 00:34:29,000
State.
So Brent Prime mentioned it
580
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,800
today.
Hey I was one of the guys are
581
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,900
recruited Zach.
Know a lot about what use a good
582
00:34:33,900 --> 00:34:39,400
thing in my opinion, he did
leave Penn State in 2021 through
583
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,600
the portal.
And Brawn, let's talk about this
584
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,699
guy like what he is and he's is
he their best player on the
585
00:34:48,699 --> 00:34:52,400
field in general?
Yeah.
586
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:57,200
I mean I would say he is their
biggest Target in that offense,
587
00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:01,300
okay.
In terms of volume he's going to
588
00:35:01,308 --> 00:35:03,300
be the guy that's going to get
the heaviest Targets in the
589
00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:05,500
passing game.
That doesn't mean he's going to
590
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:08,200
rack up the most yards or
anything like that, but he is
591
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,200
the guy that is going to be
targeted, the most and the
592
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,400
offense, he's a big physical
tight and you already talked
593
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,700
about that.
He's got that NFL size and
594
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:21,700
athleticism that you would see
in a top 150 power 5.
595
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:28,000
Did tight in and he is their
primary Red Zone threat as well.
596
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,300
So when they get in the Red Zone
they will look for him to get in
597
00:35:32,300 --> 00:35:34,700
the end zone.
But he's definitely a guy that
598
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:37,600
we've got to check constantly
because they will hit him up.
599
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,900
The seam, they will hit him
outside of the hashes
600
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:43,700
occasionally.
So they'll line them up in
601
00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:47,600
different places, but he's still
that kind of prototypical style
602
00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:50,400
tight end that you'll see in the
NFL.
603
00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:53,000
Let me ask this for I get into
some of the stats from last
604
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,400
year.
What do you think we're going to
605
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,200
do coverage wise, is this going
to be a bracket type coverage or
606
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:02,700
do you think, you know, one of
our safety's, our linebackers
607
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:05,100
who are significantly athletic,
even though they're going to
608
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:07,800
give up size or going to hang
with them, like what do you
609
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,900
think the plan is to counter
this guy?
610
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,300
I think they're going to put
their best coverage backers.
611
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:19,500
Safety against him, fairly
significantly and hope that we
612
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:22,700
can get enough pressure with the
Blitz and pressure with the
613
00:36:22,707 --> 00:36:27,300
Demons of wine to where he can't
cause us too much trouble.
614
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:30,900
Don't necessarily think we're
going to bracket him.
615
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:38,000
Yeah I think at that point that
takes away some of what Mars and
616
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:43,600
and prize defense is about.
I think they're hoping they can
617
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:47,000
put enough pressure on Wolf to
where he can't deliver those
618
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,200
passes on time and in the right
location for Koontz to hurt us
619
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,400
too bad.
Yeah.
620
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,500
And for coons last year 73
reception 692 yards nine and a
621
00:36:57,508 --> 00:37:00,100
half percent.
Subsection with five touchdowns
622
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,100
and this really was his first
time playing a full season.
623
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:06,200
He only played into a couple
games at Penn State and 18 and
624
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:11,200
19 did not play any 20 so you
know he's obviously coming off a
625
00:37:11,207 --> 00:37:14,600
good year he's obviously got
some physical attributes but
626
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,500
luckily it's one of those weird
things luckily you say somebody
627
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:21,300
that knows him and that was in
the building with him for three
628
00:37:21,300 --> 00:37:24,400
years is now coaching on the
other side of the ball against
629
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,000
him.
So if there's anyone that
630
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,300
potentially knows what's gonna
be the best way to handle,
631
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,600
Ellen, I would put that trust in
print pry.
632
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,100
Alright?
So after cunts, probably their
633
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:37,600
next biggest weapon, is Ali
Jennings.
634
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:43,600
Wide receiver 6-foot 296 pounds,
a 3 star from Highland Springs.
635
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,100
High School that was never
offered by Virginia Tech when he
636
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:49,000
came out.
I will go ahead and make that
637
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,400
note.
He did own hair out.
638
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:59,300
Yeah, he did originally commit
to West Virginia back. 2019.
639
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:05,800
And he came to ODU from the
portal in 2021 where he kind of
640
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,200
had a breakout season and Brian.
I know you got to see some
641
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,400
really good things on his tape.
Yeah.
642
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,700
He's a very solid route, Runner.
He's got great quickness,
643
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:18,800
especially in the intermediate
passing game, he does have a
644
00:38:18,808 --> 00:38:22,700
drop every now and then nothing
to really write home about, but
645
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:26,700
they do happen, but he is good
with catches in traffic.
646
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,400
There's a lot of times where
he's Targeted over the middle up
647
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,800
the scene, where he can make
that tough tough catch.
648
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,100
Along the sideline, make a tough
catch, and he's really big run
649
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:39,300
after the catch guys.
So when he, when he gets the
650
00:38:39,300 --> 00:38:42,100
ball in his hands he can do some
some pretty filthy things down
651
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:47,300
the field, definitely an NFL
caliber type receiver in saying
652
00:38:47,300 --> 00:38:50,500
that we did not offer this kid
out of Highland Springs.
653
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:55,400
What the fuck are we thinking?
But we just talked about the
654
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,800
only two players on their team
that I think could Potentially
655
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:06,200
be starters for us.
All right, good do I think when
656
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,300
you've been kind of explaining
him to me, see, in some of his
657
00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:11,100
dad is from last year, looking
at a little bit of me, looking
658
00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:15,600
at highlight film, not looking
at tape, like you I can't I
659
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:20,300
think we're going to see early
with this game is with the new
660
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,500
you know, with the new stuff on
defense.
661
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:27,300
This is he's like a cocky guy if
you're telling me that we're
662
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:29,200
tackling them at the spot, he
catches the ball.
663
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:34,600
He's not able to get that right?
Then some of this stuff is going
664
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,100
to be very interesting and Levar
Cooper.
665
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,500
You know, here from Facebook
saying that he thinks they're
666
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:44,200
going to try to test our Corners
back going down field.
667
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,300
I think they might, but I also
think I don't think Brent prize
668
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:51,600
going to let them do that at
all.
669
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:55,100
I mean I think we're going to
see a lot of heavy blitzing.
670
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:58,300
I think I said I think they're
going to put the pressure on
671
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:02,100
Wolf to make a quick decision
early in the snap count and get
672
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:05,900
the ball out of his hands.
I don't know if this offense is
673
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:09,500
designed for that, they like the
Intermediate stuff.
674
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,200
Some of that takes a little time
to develop.
675
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:15,600
We're going to have
opportunities to get sacks.
676
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,600
We got to get home.
We got to finish it and we got
677
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,800
to make sure that we're moving
will fall off his spot where
678
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,200
He's either throwing off balance
or he's having a throw on the
679
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,000
Run.
Because that's not his bread and
680
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,300
butter.
He likes to sit back there in
681
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:33,500
the pocket and diagnose and
deliver.
682
00:40:34,300 --> 00:40:36,900
All right, so that's going to be
a key there and with Ali
683
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:39,400
Jennings last year.
I mean, he went over 1,000 yards
684
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:44,800
and 13 game. 62 receptionist
1066 over 17 yards of reception.
685
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,300
I think right there.
You see, the yet the rack and
686
00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:50,400
the Yad with only five
touchdown.
687
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,100
So again, I want to see how are
tackling, especially on the
688
00:40:53,107 --> 00:40:55,600
perimeter will definitely.
He will definitely be a
689
00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:00,000
challenge to our cornerbacks and
Our safeties along with the
690
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,200
other parts of the defense, all
right, Braun before we get into
691
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,400
their best player.
Give me just high level overview
692
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,200
of what you see from this
offensive line.
693
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:17,000
Their average, they're very
average and I'd say they're
694
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:21,900
they're decently balance, but
they are a little heavier on
695
00:41:21,900 --> 00:41:25,300
past Pro than on the Run.
They're not going to pull you
696
00:41:25,300 --> 00:41:27,000
away.
They do have a couple guys on
697
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,100
that line.
That do a pretty good job in the
698
00:41:31,100 --> 00:41:33,500
Run game.
One, we're about to talk about
699
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,600
here in a moment.
But They got behind the down and
700
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,700
distance a lot last year.
And a lot of the rushing yards,
701
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:47,900
they got were in some garbage
time situations last year, okay?
702
00:41:47,900 --> 00:41:52,200
So it'll be interesting to see,
you know what that looks like
703
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,500
this year, if that offensive
line has improved at all.
704
00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:59,900
But decent.
But nothing to write home about.
705
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,900
Got it in obviously, I think,
you know, we've been talking
706
00:42:02,900 --> 00:42:05,600
about probably the best player
who's getting some
707
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,600
all-conference accolade.
Preseason and Nick salivary.
708
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:13,300
The right tackle, 663 16 years
originally a 2 Star back in.
709
00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:15,800
2018 from Monroe, North
Carolina.
710
00:42:16,300 --> 00:42:18,200
Obviously he's getting all the
conference honors.
711
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,000
Is he their best offensive
lineman yet?
712
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,000
Farther away their best
offensive lineman?
713
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,500
Definitely the most balanced
offensive lineman in terms of
714
00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:28,300
what he can do in pass Pro.
And what he does in the running
715
00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:33,700
game, I tell you probably their
best run Blocker on the team,
716
00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:36,600
which you don't always see from
a right tackle position.
717
00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:41,800
Ian and his past Pro is is as
good as anybody else on that
718
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,600
team as well.
So good balance, he's not an
719
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,900
elite player but there's really
no weak area of his game that we
720
00:42:47,900 --> 00:42:51,800
can really attack consistently.
No, I haven't seen much on this.
721
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,400
But are they projecting him to
stay at right side?
722
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,600
I don't know for sure, I did not
see a scouting report that
723
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,700
showed that so I don't know if
he's switching over to the left
724
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:05,600
side.
Yeah, I'm all effort that real
725
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,700
quick while we take a look at
the next guy here.
726
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:09,500
And this is the last piece of
the offense.
727
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:12,400
We're going to look at here and
his name is Blake Watson.
728
00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:16,000
Laughs, if you from Halifax
County listening to this and
729
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,000
it's not a school, the guy named
League Watson lives in Roanoke.
730
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:25,900
Now Blake Watson 5-foot £995.
Originally recruited as a Wide
731
00:43:25,900 --> 00:43:29,900
receiver out of high school.
He was from Green.
732
00:43:29,900 --> 00:43:32,500
Hope down in Cary.
North Carolina was a two-star
733
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:36,800
back in 2018.
And, you know, Brian, I see the
734
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,700
stat line.
And, I mean, I hope one of our
735
00:43:38,700 --> 00:43:43,700
guys can do this to this year.
I mean, 1112 yards over five of
736
00:43:43,707 --> 00:43:48,100
carry eight, touchdowns that
much of an receiving game.
737
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:51,700
But I mean, still something.
What did, what did his tape show
738
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:55,200
and why didn't he jump out to
you as much as the other two?
739
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,200
Offensive guys did.
So the big thing is that he's
740
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:05,100
not quite the game breaker that
the other two are, you know, we
741
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,800
see a guy like Koontz.
He's really hard to match up
742
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,400
against.
He's the guy that can hurt you
743
00:44:11,408 --> 00:44:13,700
in the middle of the feel hurt
you in the red zone, you can see
744
00:44:13,700 --> 00:44:18,500
a guy like Ali Jennings that can
you take a quick route?
745
00:44:18,500 --> 00:44:22,700
Take it to the house, beat you,
that intermediate game, you
746
00:44:22,700 --> 00:44:25,200
know, Watson is kind of a bread
and butter he's used.
747
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:30,200
It's a stick mover.
He's got pretty good Vision but
748
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,100
you know you don't really see
him breaking off.
749
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:37,500
Huge runs consistently he does
have a burst when he gets to the
750
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:40,600
second level though.
So you got to make sure that
751
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,500
we're at him at the point of
attack, get him down before he
752
00:44:44,500 --> 00:44:48,000
breaks past that second level.
So you got to wrap up and get
753
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,100
him to the ground.
He'll bite you.
754
00:44:49,100 --> 00:44:55,200
But he's got that kind of one
cut style when cutting go so we
755
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,200
definitely need to make sure
when we get our hands on and we
756
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,600
get him to the ground but he's
not the game breaker type
757
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,200
player.
But he is a guy that will get 15
758
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,200
to 20 carries a game and
probably go for about 100 yards
759
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,300
on those makes sense with the
stat lines and everything.
760
00:45:10,300 --> 00:45:15,000
So again it's that key and I
hope the stuff that's been
761
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,700
biting Us in the ass.
Last few years where we have
762
00:45:17,700 --> 00:45:19,800
running backs dead to rights for
that.
763
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:25,200
Three or four yard Moss begins
to matriculate into Keeping into
764
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,700
three to four large losses
versus letting them.
765
00:45:27,700 --> 00:45:30,000
Break the tackle getting back to
the line of scrimmage and in
766
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,900
some cases getting positive
yards because I think for me as
767
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:38,600
a fan that is one of the most
frustrating things when, you
768
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,600
know, you can put a team in a
bad situation and you're just
769
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,200
letting it slip with piss-poor
fundamentals in the NFL
770
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:47,800
football.
Absolutely.
771
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,500
All right, Brian.
Let's just kind of take a
772
00:45:49,500 --> 00:45:51,400
high-level look now at the
offense.
773
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,800
Obviously, it's Ricky Ronnie's
offense.
774
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,100
The guy Georgia Tech came in,
yes.
775
00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:58,600
But they essentially, you can
say they're from the same type
776
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,600
tree.
Now, I think the offensive line
777
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,200
coach, you called, the Tulsa
game.
778
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,100
His name is slipping or you're
right now.
779
00:46:06,100 --> 00:46:10,000
I didn't document that is going
to be the play caller.
780
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,100
But you know what are we seeing
and what you expect to see
781
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:17,800
Friday night from the Saudi you
offense, In terms of
782
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,700
play-calling it's going to be
interesting, right?
783
00:46:20,700 --> 00:46:22,500
Because you got to get a brand
new play.
784
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:27,800
Caller brand new coordinator,
you know, three weeks before the
785
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:32,300
season starts ODU loses their
quarterbacks coach and offensive
786
00:46:32,300 --> 00:46:35,100
coordinator.
So for about a week looks like
787
00:46:35,100 --> 00:46:37,600
Ricky Ronnie was probably
pulling triple duty at practice.
788
00:46:37,700 --> 00:46:42,100
Oh yeah until they worked out
what that succession line was
789
00:46:42,100 --> 00:46:46,400
going to look like but I mean
this is that you know multiple
790
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,800
Smash Mouth spread RPO, if is
the emphasis that will go
791
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,800
multiple, but it's mostly going
to be Smash Mouth spread with
792
00:46:54,800 --> 00:47:00,300
RPO Concepts in there.
Like I've said with with the
793
00:47:00,300 --> 00:47:03,100
intermediate, that's their bread
and butter especially on early
794
00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:05,800
Downs.
When the defense isn't expecting
795
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:10,800
it, they leaned heavily on their
primary targets, Jennings Koontz
796
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:16,000
to get open early in the snap
wolf does do a good job of going
797
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,900
through his progressions but
usually when He does he's not
798
00:47:19,100 --> 00:47:21,800
that that's not going to be a
big yard yard get her that's
799
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,200
going to be something that helps
them.
800
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,000
Stay ahead of the sticks.
It's not something that we're
801
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,300
there.
He's going through second and
802
00:47:30,300 --> 00:47:33,200
third progressions and then
getting a 20 or 30 yard gain out
803
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,600
of it.
It's something where it's more
804
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,500
of a, he's good at all, right?
Where's my primary?
805
00:47:37,500 --> 00:47:39,100
Where's my secondary?
Where's my check down?
806
00:47:39,100 --> 00:47:44,300
He gets to a check down.
They get three or four yards and
807
00:47:44,300 --> 00:47:46,600
that if they're going to beat
you with those intermediate
808
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,700
plays, they're going to do it.
Early in the snap and they have
809
00:47:48,700 --> 00:47:50,900
to do that because of the the
limitations they have at
810
00:47:50,900 --> 00:47:53,200
quarterback in terms of
athleticism.
811
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,600
The other thing that in this is
going to be a theme when we get
812
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,500
to the defense as well,
penalties sacks drops, will kill
813
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:05,200
effective drives for this
offense routinely especially
814
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,400
when they're against kind of
evenly matched or better
815
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,200
competition which in this case
would qualify as that.
816
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,800
So you know, look for them to
kind of shoot themselves in a It
817
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,300
in the foot often, when they
start getting some of those
818
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,900
effective drives that end up
being Drive Killers.
819
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,400
Absolutely in y'all are going to
see as we get into the Hokies
820
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,700
Keys.
Later about this penalties when
821
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:32,500
I did the research.
It was like, Jesus Christ, what
822
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:35,600
an undisciplined team.
But before we get there, there's
823
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,100
teaser.
We're going to look at the
824
00:48:37,107 --> 00:48:40,300
defensive side of the ball.
Yeah, I've gotten better
825
00:48:40,300 --> 00:48:43,400
teachers over the years but
let's talk about guy.
826
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:47,300
The guy in the middle.
Ryan Henry, the linebacker.
827
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:54,100
Juuko 62, 225, 2019 3 star.
He went to a sa Juco.
828
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:57,500
He was originally from Miami
South Ridge and he actually was
829
00:48:57,500 --> 00:49:02,100
originally a safety product.
What do you see from Ryan Henry
830
00:49:02,100 --> 00:49:06,700
on the tape run?
He's kind of above average with
831
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:09,800
his coverage skills, but he's
not his great against the run.
832
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,700
But the big thing that helps him
out is that he is a shirt, a
833
00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:17,700
killer but they don't really use
him very much as a Blitzer or a
834
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:19,800
pass rusher.
He's primarily the guy that's
835
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:24,000
going to be back in coverage,
coming up when there's a run
836
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,900
making a play there, he's not
someone that they send and get a
837
00:49:27,908 --> 00:49:31,300
lot of tackles for loss sacks,
things of that nature.
838
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:36,000
He's not that type of disrupter.
So is essentially truly is
839
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,300
playing like a they are treating
him as a safety at linebacker
840
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:43,400
then versus converting to
linebacker where he obviously
841
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,500
has a bill to have the traits
but maybe hasn't picked up that
842
00:49:46,500 --> 00:49:50,500
middle portion of the game.
Dad maybe, I mean some of it is
843
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:54,200
scheme as well.
The way that deploy him is
844
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,700
definitely more on the, the
coverage Style.
845
00:49:59,300 --> 00:50:03,000
That's just what he does better
and I think they kind of leaned
846
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,200
on that.
Got it, got it.
847
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:07,500
All right.
Well, let's look at one of the
848
00:50:07,500 --> 00:50:11,200
guys on the back end here and
that's arterian Johnson.
849
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:16,900
The five 1196 pound safety.
Also, another Juco, he was from
850
00:50:17,100 --> 00:50:20,000
Gulf Coast Community College,
regionally grew up in Wiggins
851
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:26,400
Mississippi, what do you think?
Arterian in my opinion he's the
852
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,900
best player on their defense and
it's probably not that close.
853
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,300
The argument could be made for
the next guy.
854
00:50:33,300 --> 00:50:36,900
We're going to talk about but
Hot to me artery in Johnson's
855
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:40,600
the best player on that defense.
He cleans up a lot of their
856
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,500
inconsistencies both in the
passing game and the rushing
857
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:49,500
game just with his play, very
good tackler above average and
858
00:50:49,500 --> 00:50:51,800
coverage.
He's the guy that's getting
859
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,000
everybody where they need to be
in that secondary.
860
00:50:56,700 --> 00:51:00,400
And again, cerebral, he's
definitely The Head and
861
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,700
Shoulders Above the Rest of the
secondary, in my opinion.
862
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,500
Yeah, and his stat lines.
Um last year look, you know
863
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:08,300
really good.
I'm assuming he's probably more
864
00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:12,400
of a safety in the Box.
I mean 92 combined tackles he
865
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,100
had three and a half tackles for
loss, he had two picks Six
866
00:51:16,100 --> 00:51:19,200
Paths, deflections so, where did
you see him lined up?
867
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,400
As he playing more of a free
coming down or she playing more
868
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,500
you know that strong Rover type
position little more of the
869
00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:29,100
Rover.
He's definitely playing in the
870
00:51:29,100 --> 00:51:35,200
Box a little bit more and he's a
guy that again would On the
871
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,300
running back, come up and making
plays in the running game.
872
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:44,600
So like I said, overall I think
he's the guy that you want to
873
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,600
make sure your accounting for as
an offense.
874
00:51:50,100 --> 00:51:53,700
All right, let's take, let's
stay on the back and go outside
875
00:51:53,700 --> 00:51:55,300
a little bit more.
Let's take a look at Trey
876
00:51:55,300 --> 00:51:57,700
Hawkins.
The third cornerback
877
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,000
six-foot-three. 195 pounds of
Texas product down in Temple,
878
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,500
Texas.
Actually, another Juco attended
879
00:52:05,500 --> 00:52:08,600
Trinity Valley, think of you.
Here we go, is very familiar
880
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:13,200
with that and, you know, a guy
who played last year, seventy
881
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,700
seven, tackles five tackles for
loss, six pass deflections in a
882
00:52:16,707 --> 00:52:19,700
forced fumble soil, you know, a
really good staff.
883
00:52:19,900 --> 00:52:24,600
One last year and obviously that
body type, you know, is is he
884
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,700
playing outside, or is he
playing a little more hybrid
885
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,700
position for ODU?
Now he's playing outside.
886
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,300
Okay.
Yeah.
887
00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:37,800
And watching the tape, he was a
lot better covering the the
888
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,400
quick and intermediate stuff
than he was some of the deep
889
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:46,300
stuff he when he drives on a
route that's when he's at his
890
00:52:46,300 --> 00:52:51,100
best.
When he's having to turn and
891
00:52:51,100 --> 00:52:54,000
run, that's when you can
potentially get some stuff
892
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,900
behind him, he can get fooled
with a double move and be deep
893
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:02,300
because again, he likes to drive
on routes.
894
00:53:02,300 --> 00:53:06,200
He's gonna he's gonna bite on
those double moves from time to
895
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,100
time and get beat deep.
He has good quickness.
896
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,000
But only above average, top-end
speed.
897
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:17,300
He's not not an elite Speedster.
So, he really relies on that
898
00:53:17,300 --> 00:53:19,500
quickness.
In that ability to drive on a
899
00:53:19,508 --> 00:53:21,800
routes to really impact his
play.
900
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:26,200
Did they have any video of him
playing like a press coverage?
901
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,300
Or was he always playing all
four?
902
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,500
He would it would mix it up.
Okay.
903
00:53:31,500 --> 00:53:36,400
And he was decent impressed, but
again it's kind of that that
904
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,200
second phase that that he wasn't
as great at.
905
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,200
I always ask at because I see
you know, him being potentially
906
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,100
their best cornerback is who he
gets matched up against right?
907
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,600
And, you know, you think about
somebody like Dwayne or Jaden
908
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:56,400
probably little bit quicker, but
when I think of someone like
909
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,300
Caleb Smith Caleb will more
strong.
910
00:54:00,300 --> 00:54:02,800
Caleb does have a little
quickness, but he's one of those
911
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,900
guys.
A lot of players would not want
912
00:54:04,900 --> 00:54:08,600
to make a pretzel because Caleb
has that strength to essentially
913
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,000
shed the press and Caleb's got
enough speed to Get by you and
914
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,700
get down the field quickly.
So be very interesting to see
915
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:18,800
how and if they match up.
All right, let's flip it back
916
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:24,400
down to the defensive line.
I know you had some Choice words
917
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,500
about the defensive line in
general about, you know, it
918
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:30,600
essentially.
Kind of rough to look at.
919
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,000
But let's talk about that and
then Marques Haynes.
920
00:54:34,900 --> 00:54:38,100
One of the defensive ends at six
foot four, 240 from Bowie.
921
00:54:38,100 --> 00:54:41,900
Maryland, originally a two-star
went to Fork.
922
00:54:41,900 --> 00:54:47,600
Union back in 2017 is when he
came out, what does hangs look
923
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:48,400
like on?
Take.
924
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,600
Yeah, he's definitely their most
balanced player.
925
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,600
They usually, he's on an
opposite.
926
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,900
The they'll use a stand-up in
kind of like bar.
927
00:54:55,900 --> 00:54:59,400
No.
Did last year and one side On
928
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,300
the opposite.
He's got his hand in the dirt.
929
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,600
He's more of a true you know
defensive end from a technique
930
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,400
standpoint.
He's above average against the
931
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,300
Run, he's a decent pass rusher.
Nothing to really write home
932
00:55:12,300 --> 00:55:18,300
about on that front but it's
not, you know, a weakness, he'll
933
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:22,800
occasionally flash, a big Drive,
killing play with with some of
934
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,900
his penetration especially in
the Run game.
935
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:30,400
But it's more consistent of a
player in terms of his steady
936
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,400
production and he is kind of a
standout player that's making a
937
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:38,200
ton of those game.
Got it in last year.
938
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,300
He killed her was their leader
in Saxon five and a half.
939
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,000
So not a big number.
The team itself didn't have a
940
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,700
lot of sacks didn't have a lot
of turnovers.
941
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
So Brian, you've kind of already
mentioned it.
942
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,500
They have a stand-up in what
sort of Defense are they in?
943
00:55:53,500 --> 00:55:56,200
And what are some of the things
that we should see from them on
944
00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:00,600
Friday night?
Yeah, it's kind of similar to
945
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,100
what we saw last year for the
Hokies.
946
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:04,500
It's a 425, they got to stand up
in.
947
00:56:05,300 --> 00:56:08,200
They mix in a significant amount
of Zone with some man main
948
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:13,200
Concepts.
They don't Blitz a ton, they
949
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,500
will get aggressive on kind of
third and medium and third and
950
00:56:16,500 --> 00:56:20,700
long but then it's usually in
situations, it's not something
951
00:56:20,700 --> 00:56:22,900
where there you would call them
an aggressive defense.
952
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,300
But they do have good Pursuit
both in the Run game and
953
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,000
Intermediate passing game
getting to those guys making
954
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,600
plays after the catch.
They don't really get enough
955
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,100
pass rush.
I know I've already talked about
956
00:56:36,100 --> 00:56:39,400
that for some of the double
moves or slow developing routes,
957
00:56:39,900 --> 00:56:43,500
so that can be risky, when
opposing offenses, are good with
958
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:47,900
those type of Concepts.
They are super undisciplined and
959
00:56:47,900 --> 00:56:52,500
prone to hurting themselves with
penalties and miscues, this is a
960
00:56:52,500 --> 00:56:56,500
very undisciplined defense.
They will give you first downs.
961
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,500
They will give you first down.
Towns for stupid stuff.
962
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:01,800
They will give you first downs
for procedural, stuff.
963
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,400
They will give you first downs.
Because for whatever reason,
964
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,200
even in man coverage, a
cornerback will run with a tight
965
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:15,000
end, running a wheel instead of
sticking with the Z receiver,
966
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,100
like it's it shit like that.
Constantly, they shoot
967
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:23,000
themselves in the foot that
results in some big plays, and
968
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,800
you end up in a situation where
You know, you're playing for
969
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,600
behind a lot and they were
playing from behind a lot last
970
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,900
season, especially in the first
what, six to seven games of that
971
00:57:33,900 --> 00:57:35,700
year.
Very true.
972
00:57:35,900 --> 00:57:39,000
Now going through some of this
tape that any of the Marshall
973
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:44,500
tape come up on the defense, I
did not watch Marshall.
974
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,800
Okay, I had to ask, I know
you're having to pick and find
975
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,700
pieces of tape here and there
and some tapes not readily
976
00:57:51,700 --> 00:57:55,400
available to us.
So we move on and what will move
977
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,900
on to next?
Y'all is going to be the Hokies
978
00:57:57,900 --> 00:58:02,500
keys and what are the keys to
this game and we want to see
979
00:58:02,500 --> 00:58:06,000
though keys with a Big W what's
got to happen and I'm going to
980
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,200
start here, Brian with
turnovers.
981
00:58:08,300 --> 00:58:12,900
And when I look back last year
with ODU, In their wins and
982
00:58:12,908 --> 00:58:18,700
their six wins in 2021, their
turnover margin was plus two.
983
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,400
So any kind of went like this
and their wins.
984
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,100
So basically in two of the six
wins, they won the margin in
985
00:58:27,100 --> 00:58:31,500
one, they lost the margin.
Three were even and against
986
00:58:31,500 --> 00:58:35,600
these six reinstate only had one
team that was 500 or better than
987
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,300
that was Middle Tennessee,
State.
988
00:58:37,900 --> 00:58:41,400
And that game is one of the ones
they won the margin on and they
989
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:46,700
still only won that game by a
touchdown. 24:17.
990
00:58:47,100 --> 00:58:53,000
Okay, so even on their wins,
sloppiness is obvious on the
991
00:58:53,000 --> 00:59:00,200
offensive side of the ball.
You know, they beat a Hampton
992
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,900
team, they beat a couple three
winning teams and that fight.
993
00:59:03,100 --> 00:59:07,300
If I use a one win team last
year, so they got six wins last
994
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:09,400
year, but they were not even
close to Pretty Wings.
995
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:14,300
Now, when you talk about their
seven losses, they were negative
996
00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:19,400
10 in turnover margin.
Which is just shitty because
997
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,500
that's almost you're given the
other team, the ball one and a
998
00:59:22,508 --> 00:59:25,600
half times a game that show up
on the tape.
999
00:59:26,700 --> 00:59:30,300
Yeah a lot of it showed up on
the tape particularly when they
1000
00:59:30,300 --> 00:59:32,900
were playing Western Kentucky,
who got off to a pretty awful
1001
00:59:32,900 --> 00:59:36,700
start themselves last year in
that game?
1002
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:44,900
The first half was a comedy of
errors for that offense, against
1003
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,400
Western Kentucky, which did not
Have a very good defense.
1004
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:52,700
There was a turnover.
There was a bulb on the ground.
1005
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,100
There were just a lot of miscues
across the board.
1006
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,600
And that resulted in them
playing from behind
1007
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,400
significantly heading into
halftime.
1008
01:00:03,300 --> 01:00:06,600
You know, they came out with a
better plan but there was still
1009
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:11,300
another turnover in the second
half and they lost that margin.
1010
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,300
I think it was three to three to
one in favor Western Kentucky
1011
01:00:16,300 --> 01:00:20,800
and that game.
Yeah, so overall it's one of the
1012
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,400
big Keys If Hokies win the
turnover battle.
1013
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,400
This game's not even going to be
closer than what we're
1014
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,100
predicting if it's insane.
Like it was when they had those
1015
01:00:30,100 --> 01:00:35,800
32 ones or 32 nothing's last
year really, really ugly game.
1016
01:00:36,300 --> 01:00:39,000
Alright, another thing you've
mentioned it in both sides of
1017
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,000
the ball earlier.
It's about being undisciplined
1018
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,100
about making miscues and its
penalties.
1019
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:49,600
Last year out of 131 teams, they
were eight hundred and second in
1020
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,100
penalty yards last year.
That is bad.
1021
01:00:53,700 --> 01:00:57,500
They were a team when they were
at home, where most teams do not
1022
01:00:57,500 --> 01:01:01,300
have a higher penalty because
you're playing at home.
1023
01:01:01,300 --> 01:01:04,800
Usually get phone calls, usually
build more in a control.
1024
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,200
They averaged almost eight a
game at home last year and then
1025
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:16,300
their losses 78 yards of
penalties in the average for
1026
01:01:16,300 --> 01:01:21,400
each of their seven losses.
And even in the games they won,
1027
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,000
they still are averaging 60
yards.
1028
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,000
If this team steps on the field
Friday and you tell me they're
1029
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,600
going to give eight penalties
for 80 yards.
1030
01:01:32,300 --> 01:01:34,200
Regardless of what side of the
ball is all.
1031
01:01:34,300 --> 01:01:36,200
If you say, you split it right
down the middle, you're going to
1032
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,300
give us an extra 40 yards on
offense.
1033
01:01:39,100 --> 01:01:41,400
That's at least an extra two
scores in my opinion.
1034
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,200
And if you do it, 40 yards on
defense.
1035
01:01:43,900 --> 01:01:46,200
There's going to be a turnover
in there somewhere because
1036
01:01:46,300 --> 01:01:48,100
you're going to get dialed up
with a ton of pressure.
1037
01:01:50,700 --> 01:01:52,900
Yeah, I think you're right there
and I think that's, that's the
1038
01:01:52,900 --> 01:01:55,200
problem that they had last year.
We'll see.
1039
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,800
If that any of that has been
cleaned up heading into this
1040
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,600
season.
You know, they have the same
1041
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,900
coordinator on defense.
I don't know if that necessarily
1042
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:05,800
is speaking to their own
discipline, this or anything
1043
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:10,200
like that, but we'll see if that
is something that has been
1044
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:14,700
remedied since that point, but
they were as, as undisciplined
1045
01:02:14,700 --> 01:02:18,200
is any team, you will see last
year, especially on the
1046
01:02:18,207 --> 01:02:21,800
defensive side of the ball.
And I think those first two
1047
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,000
things.
The first thing is obviously
1048
01:02:24,100 --> 01:02:27,800
something the Hokies defense is
looking at the penalties are
1049
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,300
kind of all over the place,
right?
1050
01:02:29,300 --> 01:02:32,600
Offensive and defensive side, he
can affect both parts of the
1051
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:37,700
game, but when you see things
like that, my immediate thought
1052
01:02:37,700 --> 01:02:40,500
is even if you're keeping the
same player, or the same
1053
01:02:40,500 --> 01:02:42,200
coordinators to have the same
players.
1054
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:48,200
Normally, you do not see drastic
turnarounds in turnovers and, or
1055
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,800
penalties from one, you That
usually those are the very
1056
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:57,900
gradual you go from the turnover
margin being - 82.
1057
01:02:58,500 --> 01:03:02,700
Okay now we're - 3 now.
We're even now we're in the plus
1058
01:03:02,700 --> 01:03:06,700
territory, same with penalties.
You don't go from the just about
1059
01:03:06,700 --> 01:03:09,000
the bottom.
Two above middle of the pack in
1060
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,900
one season because a lot of
times the players you have or
1061
01:03:11,908 --> 01:03:14,400
the who you're returning and
it's a cultural thing.
1062
01:03:14,900 --> 01:03:19,200
So, those two I cannot see in
the last thing we've talked
1063
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:23,100
about with the Hokies, Skis.
Is there passing defense?
1064
01:03:23,700 --> 01:03:26,700
And I know you said to of their
better players are on the back
1065
01:03:26,700 --> 01:03:28,800
end, but you've mentioned all
night.
1066
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,200
You mentioned it up top, they
don't have the pass rush.
1067
01:03:33,500 --> 01:03:35,800
You can get double moves behind
them even though they have a
1068
01:03:35,808 --> 01:03:40,300
couple good players there
because of no pass rush, they
1069
01:03:40,300 --> 01:03:42,900
can't get that done.
And last year it showed, you
1070
01:03:42,900 --> 01:03:46,400
know, they gave up 264 yards a
game through the air.
1071
01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:52,300
You know, they basically only
forced Seven interceptions in 13
1072
01:03:52,300 --> 01:03:56,200
games in, if you look at the Sun
Belt last year, right?
1073
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,600
No Conference USA Labour
Conference USA, less relevant,
1074
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,700
USA Sunbelt this year.
Yep.
1075
01:04:01,500 --> 01:04:04,900
How many of those offensive run
some sort of high-level passing
1076
01:04:04,900 --> 01:04:09,400
game in to say you guys seven?
Yes I mean it takes in one of
1077
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,400
the most as oriented leagues in
a country.
1078
01:04:12,900 --> 01:04:16,800
I mean Western Kentucky will
only run just because you know
1079
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:18,800
just really want to do something
different.
1080
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,700
I think they had like 12 total
rushes in the game I watch.
1081
01:04:23,700 --> 01:04:28,200
So I mean they don't run but
they it's a lot of quick release
1082
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:33,900
stuff and you know, constantly
again shooting themselves in the
1083
01:04:33,900 --> 01:04:36,400
foot.
They don't do a good job getting
1084
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:41,400
after the quarterback.
And while they have one or two
1085
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:47,400
guys that are really good in
coverage the area's elsewhere,
1086
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:49,900
they struggle.
So it's kind of a mixed bag.
1087
01:04:50,100 --> 01:04:53,900
Secondary, you got some really
good players, some really high
1088
01:04:53,900 --> 01:04:55,900
level players.
And then the couple guys that
1089
01:04:55,900 --> 01:04:59,200
are not very high level, you mix
that with no pass rush.
1090
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,400
That's a recipe for disaster.
And when I say, no passwords,
1091
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:07,300
folks, 23, and a half sacks for
13 games last year, that's less
1092
01:05:07,300 --> 01:05:13,000
than two again.
So on top of that, very little
1093
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,300
picks, its why?
I looked at saying their past
1094
01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:17,500
defense is a key, why is it a
key?
1095
01:05:17,500 --> 01:05:20,800
We have a guy like Grant Wells,
who did play them, who did not
1096
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,300
play his best game against them
but after that game against
1097
01:05:24,300 --> 01:05:27,500
them, he cleaned up the rest of
the seasons and did not have any
1098
01:05:27,500 --> 01:05:29,600
more than two picks in any other
game.
1099
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:34,200
So, you know, I we calculate all
this.
1100
01:05:34,300 --> 01:05:39,300
We start looking at the Players,
we look at our players coaches
1101
01:05:39,300 --> 01:05:40,200
and stuff.
Like that.
1102
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:44,400
And you know, lo and behold it's
time to predict this game, Ron
1103
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:51,200
Yeah, and I'll lead off here,
you know, I think this is a
1104
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:56,300
statement game for the Brent pry
era and I think that the Hokies
1105
01:05:56,300 --> 01:06:02,800
are focused, they are ready to
prove some doubters wrong and I
1106
01:06:02,808 --> 01:06:05,400
think they come out there and
they handle business in Norfolk.
1107
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:13,900
I've got the Hokies winning 41
to 17 All right, I am exactly
1108
01:06:13,900 --> 01:06:17,500
with you, actually, when we,
when we, when we talked about
1109
01:06:17,500 --> 01:06:20,300
this yesterday, we were like
Promised Land.
1110
01:06:20,300 --> 01:06:22,000
Like, what's yours?
What's your score, Brian?
1111
01:06:22,300 --> 01:06:24,700
He's like, 4170.
I'm like, son of a bitch.
1112
01:06:25,300 --> 01:06:27,800
He looked at him, like, he's
like what?
1113
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:29,500
I'm like.
See exactly where I am.
1114
01:06:29,500 --> 01:06:34,100
I'm in 4117 vt4, a lot of the
reasons and I think a lot of
1115
01:06:34,100 --> 01:06:36,400
those reasons, are you say
statement game?
1116
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:39,800
And when you started talking
about Hayden wolf in those
1117
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,700
players, they've Two good
players that don't get me wrong.
1118
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,600
If they get the ball to them,
they're going to make a little
1119
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,600
noise.
But know, when a guy's is Statue
1120
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,700
Norwood, Brent prize going to
do, he's going to have to get
1121
01:06:51,700 --> 01:06:56,900
that ball released quicker than
he ever has in his in his tenure
1122
01:06:56,900 --> 01:07:00,300
as quarterback of.
I think that's a big piece and
1123
01:07:00,300 --> 01:07:04,700
also think the upside of having
the Grant Wells with us this
1124
01:07:04,700 --> 01:07:08,700
year, I guarantee you Tyler.
Bowling walked in that room.
1125
01:07:09,100 --> 01:07:13,100
Prep can just said Let's look at
it because they're really not
1126
01:07:13,100 --> 01:07:16,700
changing a lot about this game.
We've got some more weapons.
1127
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:18,800
We got a better offensive line
here.
1128
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,500
Wish, we had Malachi Thomas
because I think we would really
1129
01:07:21,500 --> 01:07:24,400
run it down their throat but I
think the defense is going to
1130
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,900
dictate this game a lot and I
think the defense is going to be
1131
01:07:27,900 --> 01:07:31,100
so dating it that we're going to
take some risks and I think
1132
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:35,000
we're going to hit on a few
risks early and I think as your
1133
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,400
hope hanging out over here in
the man cave Friday night, I
1134
01:07:37,408 --> 01:07:40,300
think for supporter take a
couple shots.
1135
01:07:42,100 --> 01:07:48,300
And wrap the game up at 4117.
Yeah, I mean, you talked about
1136
01:07:48,300 --> 01:07:52,400
what wells did against this
defense last year when he was
1137
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,900
playing with Marshall, wasn't
his best game in terms of his
1138
01:07:55,900 --> 01:07:58,900
interceptions but he had an
efficient night.
1139
01:07:59,100 --> 01:08:01,300
Yeah.
In terms of yardage and
1140
01:08:01,300 --> 01:08:04,500
completion percentage, he was
Thirty or forty six for 299.
1141
01:08:04,900 --> 01:08:06,800
He had two touchdowns, he threw
two picks.
1142
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,000
You'd like to see at least one
of those taken off the board
1143
01:08:10,100 --> 01:08:11,700
with 46 attempts.
Right?
1144
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:17,700
So, but, you know, one
interception in 4406 of Not bad
1145
01:08:17,700 --> 01:08:21,200
to, you know, especially
sometimes when they happen, not
1146
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,300
necessarily.
If they happen, it's kind of you
1147
01:08:23,300 --> 01:08:26,399
know, what kind of Shades one
game, you know, One Direction or
1148
01:08:26,399 --> 01:08:30,100
another, but he's sweaty slung,
the ball all over the field,
1149
01:08:30,300 --> 01:08:34,700
just they couldn't finish a lot
of drives last year, and that
1150
01:08:34,700 --> 01:08:39,200
was the big, the big difference
in that game being Marshal kind
1151
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,000
of walking away with it and
having to get a touchdown and
1152
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,600
over time to seal it.
Exactly.
1153
01:08:44,899 --> 01:08:50,500
So again, we both predict a Tech
wins, 4117, take take lady,
1154
01:08:50,500 --> 01:08:54,800
eight and a half because I think
with also with the turmoil,
1155
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:58,100
going down there with the brand
new offensive coordinator and
1156
01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:02,899
you know obviously Ricky Ronnie
knows Brent, prize defense and
1157
01:09:02,899 --> 01:09:06,800
is bad as we want to say we're
down we're not deep.
1158
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,800
There are some talented players
on that defense that will I
1159
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,500
think keep them under control.
All right, Brian.
1160
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,899
So let's go one more segment
here before you wrap up tonight
1161
01:09:17,899 --> 01:09:19,200
and is what we are going to
call.
1162
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,899
Big screeners.
As it's been discussed on this
1163
01:09:22,899 --> 01:09:27,100
program before I have a man cave
set-up with three TVs.
1164
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:33,300
If you have three TVs or less,
if you have less than three TVs,
1165
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,500
you're not doing it right in a
man cave because there's no way
1166
01:09:36,500 --> 01:09:39,600
you can actually pay attention.
There's no way you can have fun
1167
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,700
on college football, Saturdays.
Now, mr.
1168
01:09:43,700 --> 01:09:46,300
C glistens.
These purchases told and he is
1169
01:09:46,300 --> 01:09:50,000
currently sitting in his man
cave as I am sitting in mind.
1170
01:09:50,300 --> 01:09:55,200
He also As a three TV set up now
for Brian because Brian's a
1171
01:09:55,208 --> 01:09:59,200
little more texted me.
He has a couple of big screens
1172
01:09:59,300 --> 01:10:02,500
and then he streams one off of
his big monitors right there.
1173
01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:08,200
So we're calling a big screeners
because at some point, the games
1174
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:12,100
we discuss, right here, non-tech
games are sort of a big screen
1175
01:10:12,100 --> 01:10:14,700
games that are going to be on
the big screens.
1176
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:16,900
And Brian, I know you want me to
lead.
1177
01:10:16,900 --> 01:10:20,900
This actually tell everybody
what your setup is.
1178
01:10:21,100 --> 01:10:25,400
Just so they know.
All right, so right here, I've
1179
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:31,000
got a sixty five incher.
Yeah, TCL is getting the Roku
1180
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:36,300
and it I've got another 40 inch
Roku above me here, that can
1181
01:10:36,300 --> 01:10:40,200
rotate from either straight
above me or to a little caddy
1182
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,500
position.
Next to the big, big one here
1183
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:48,900
and then I've got a 32-inch,
ultrawide monitor that I am
1184
01:10:48,900 --> 01:10:51,100
currently looking at you guys
on.
1185
01:10:51,100 --> 01:10:56,400
So, And and battle.
That's my third screen, Curtis.
1186
01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:00,300
Let them know what you got.
Well, I'm sitting here with a 60
1187
01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:04,500
inch and then 232 is above.
And I am going to say this
1188
01:11:04,700 --> 01:11:08,100
Brian's little swivel monitor.
I know, I inspired that because
1189
01:11:08,100 --> 01:11:11,300
both of the 32 inches in the man
cave, our own swivels.
1190
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:16,700
So if I'm ever eating at the, at
the bar table back here and I
1191
01:11:16,708 --> 01:11:18,100
want to pay attention to that
game.
1192
01:11:18,100 --> 01:11:21,800
I just slightly swivel, it over
here or during the season.
1193
01:11:22,500 --> 01:11:25,600
And when we get that Maxon in
those Sunbelt games on Tuesday
1194
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,600
nights that TV right there will
be swiveled right here directly.
1195
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:34,800
So I do not miss Now when it
comes to the big screeners,
1196
01:11:34,900 --> 01:11:36,700
what's the game that I'm looking
at?
1197
01:11:36,700 --> 01:11:39,300
In kind of looking at this?
From a betting line, we used to
1198
01:11:39,300 --> 01:11:42,400
do picks last year when you're
only doing one episode a week,
1199
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,000
you got to cut time because next
week, at this time, we're
1200
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,000
recapping ODU and then prepping
from BC.
1201
01:11:48,500 --> 01:11:50,800
So, what my big screen or game
this year?
1202
01:11:50,900 --> 01:11:54,000
Or this week is, I'm looking at
the Georgia.
1203
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,200
Oregon game down in Atlanta,
Chick-fil-A kickoff, 3:30,
1204
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,800
Saturday afternoon.
And George is coming off a
1205
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:05,100
massive National Championship
with, you know, it really was
1206
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,800
with, you know, unbelievable
sort of turn back.
1207
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:13,300
The clock clock style defense,
which a shit ton of those guys
1208
01:12:13,300 --> 01:12:17,400
went to the NFL and I know it's
more than any team ever more
1209
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:25,000
than any team.
In some of those guys played
1210
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,900
last year.
But I also know on the offensive
1211
01:12:27,900 --> 01:12:32,200
side of the ball Stetson Bennett
isn't exactly a fighter pilot
1212
01:12:32,300 --> 01:12:35,000
quarterback.
He is a bus driver in last year
1213
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,600
with guys like George Pickens
and James Cook.
1214
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,700
It was easier for the bus driver
to look like a home.
1215
01:12:42,700 --> 01:12:45,200
Run to look like a fighter
power, to be honest.
1216
01:12:45,900 --> 01:12:49,400
When I look at this game, organ
has a good offensive line, Dan
1217
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,900
Landing, you Georgia defensive
coordinators back out, his went
1218
01:12:52,900 --> 01:12:54,800
out there to be a coach.
They have a good number of
1219
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,200
returning starters.
It, when I originally saw this
1220
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:01,200
game, I'm like, my expectation
is, I think Georgia probably is
1221
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,500
going to win the game, probably
by somewhere between eight and
1222
01:13:03,500 --> 01:13:07,900
ten points when this line came
open at 17 and a half.
1223
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:14,500
I just could, I'm trying to
figure out, is, is Vegas?
1224
01:13:14,500 --> 01:13:16,700
Looking at how many people left?
Yes, I know they're playing in
1225
01:13:16,700 --> 01:13:21,500
Atlanta and it's going to be a
T20 Georgia fans, but 17 and a
1226
01:13:21,508 --> 01:13:24,900
half to lay on a 10-1 team.
Last year, that has a good
1227
01:13:24,900 --> 01:13:28,400
offensive line when the Georgia
defense, lost, its best players
1228
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,400
on the offensive line and the
second level.
1229
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,100
I can't see that.
Georgia May win the game but
1230
01:13:35,100 --> 01:13:39,400
giving organ and give me the 17
and a half points because that's
1231
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,400
way too much to lay against a
good team.
1232
01:13:43,100 --> 01:13:45,400
Yeah.
The 17 and a half line is where
1233
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,100
I'm question.
If you were saying, I think if
1234
01:13:48,100 --> 01:13:51,200
you if this a moneyline question
you pick Georgia.
1235
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:55,300
Yes.
When you got that big of a line
1236
01:13:55,300 --> 01:13:58,600
17 and half is just too much.
I know there's a lot of
1237
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,900
differences with that Oregon
team coming in obviously their
1238
01:14:03,900 --> 01:14:10,400
head coach is now down there in
in Miami but this is still a
1239
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:15,400
solid Talent.
Roster that is still coming in
1240
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,800
there.
I don't think it's going to be a
1241
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,500
runaway for Georgia for the
reasons you mentioned.
1242
01:14:20,500 --> 01:14:23,400
The loss of town.
I think they definitely reload.
1243
01:14:23,500 --> 01:14:26,500
I don't think we see a
significant drop off but we'll
1244
01:14:26,500 --> 01:14:31,200
see enough of a drop-off
especially week one for them to
1245
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:35,500
not be able to, you know, blow
the doors, blow the doors off of
1246
01:14:35,500 --> 01:14:39,300
a very solid organ.
Team, that's my big Stringer.
1247
01:14:39,300 --> 01:14:43,600
What's your big screen?
You know, I kind of This around
1248
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:50,100
a couple different ways but
ultimately landed on Utah, going
1249
01:14:50,100 --> 01:14:53,100
to the swamp and facing the
Gators.
1250
01:14:54,100 --> 01:14:58,800
I was I was leaning towards the
Backyard Brawl, it's on a
1251
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:03,600
Thursday night, it's two, it's
two teams we play, it is two
1252
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:08,100
teams we play, but I don't think
that is Marquise enough of a
1253
01:15:08,100 --> 01:15:13,500
matchup in the big picture for
it to Be a big screener.
1254
01:15:14,300 --> 01:15:16,900
Obviously, since they're on
different nights technically,
1255
01:15:16,900 --> 01:15:20,600
they're both going to be big
screeners but if I had to pick
1256
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,400
between the two, I would put
Utah and Florida on there.
1257
01:15:23,900 --> 01:15:30,900
And when I look at this game,
you know, Utah is the the road
1258
01:15:30,900 --> 01:15:38,200
favorite and it's minus 3.
I'm going to, I'm going to still
1259
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:42,800
tell you Tha here.
I think Utah is probably the To
1260
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:46,600
come out of the Pac-12.
I think they are based on their
1261
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:49,500
record if they can get past this
matchup that you're going to be
1262
01:15:49,500 --> 01:15:52,100
a favorite team to make the
college football playoff.
1263
01:15:53,300 --> 01:15:58,900
So I like Utah here.
I think it's probably still a
1264
01:15:58,900 --> 01:16:02,700
high one score low to score game
but I think they're going at
1265
01:16:02,700 --> 01:16:06,900
least cover that three.
Yeah, I'm kind of with you on
1266
01:16:06,900 --> 01:16:12,600
that Utah returns a ton on just
it for the team in general.
1267
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,200
And obviously the last thing we
can remember from them last
1268
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,400
year's they kind of had a bitter
taste in her mouth losing that
1269
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:20,400
game to Ohio State in the Rose
Bowl, right?
1270
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:24,500
All Spy field gold and basically
Secondary was absolutely
1271
01:16:24,500 --> 01:16:26,500
decimated.
Yep.
1272
01:16:27,100 --> 01:16:29,300
And they were having running
back to play quarterback and
1273
01:16:29,300 --> 01:16:31,200
safety.
That's when you're in real
1274
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:35,000
Prospect early, planting like
Ohio, State and the other piece
1275
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,500
is we don't know what Florida is
yet under billing date.
1276
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:41,900
It's very early in the process.
We've seen that team,
1277
01:16:41,900 --> 01:16:43,600
underperformed the last few
years.
1278
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,800
So to say, you have to open and
now luckily, it is in the swamp.
1279
01:16:49,300 --> 01:16:53,300
to me, if I'm looking at this
game and I'm looking through I'm
1280
01:16:53,300 --> 01:16:57,400
sort of looking through Vegas
eyes to say you're giving three
1281
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,300
points on the home, will every
home team?
1282
01:17:00,300 --> 01:17:03,100
Should always get three points,
right?
1283
01:17:03,700 --> 01:17:06,900
So they're basically the and the
swamp is probably probably good
1284
01:17:06,900 --> 01:17:08,000
for five.
Yeah.
1285
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:12,600
So basically, you know, they are
really, really saying Utah's.
1286
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:19,100
Gonna win this game by more and,
you know, or we shocked at
1287
01:17:19,100 --> 01:17:21,500
Florida plays out of the 90
Napier's, a good coach and got
1288
01:17:21,500 --> 01:17:25,500
talent, but One of those things
where Kyle willingham's defense
1289
01:17:25,500 --> 01:17:28,300
to, I think everybody's talking
about the quarterback down in
1290
01:17:28,300 --> 01:17:33,600
Florida, making some noise and
it's like you're you're going to
1291
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,500
go against.
Yeah, they're going to be saying
1292
01:17:35,500 --> 01:17:38,000
it's the Pac-12 defense.
If you see the way pack
1293
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,600
Willingham coaches, his defense
is they hit hard.
1294
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:45,500
They don't play like a Pac-12
peanuts, they don't Implement
1295
01:17:45,500 --> 01:17:47,200
me, they play more like an SEC
team.
1296
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,600
That's so, you know, I'm kind of
with you.
1297
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,100
It's gonna be interesting
watching those games but it It's
1298
01:17:53,100 --> 01:17:55,700
all weekend in general, man.
I mean Thursday night, you
1299
01:17:55,700 --> 01:18:00,500
mentioned backyard, brawls and
kick it 7, sneaky sneaky Purdue
1300
01:18:00,500 --> 01:18:04,300
Penn State.
Penn State first game without
1301
01:18:04,300 --> 01:18:08,300
Brent prai has to go to Jeff
brohm in that offense.
1302
01:18:08,300 --> 01:18:12,100
I mean they can easily come out
011.
1303
01:18:12,700 --> 01:18:13,800
Yeah.
Blinky.
1304
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:20,600
And then, you know, get into
Saturday Arkansas, Cincinnati.
1305
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,100
And then the other game that we
didn't put on a big screen or a
1306
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:27,500
because I can't figure that game
out.
1307
01:18:27,700 --> 01:18:30,700
Ohio State Notre Dame on
Saturday night.
1308
01:18:30,700 --> 01:18:34,500
I can't sleep because it's
another big line and it's kind
1309
01:18:34,500 --> 01:18:39,000
of like, well, you know how the
state is a high-powered offense,
1310
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,100
it's in the shoe, it's unlike
game.
1311
01:18:42,100 --> 01:18:45,900
It's also a good matchups, LSU
FSU, Sunday night.
1312
01:18:45,900 --> 01:18:48,600
I mean, it's here we get five
straight days of college
1313
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,800
football, man.
And I'll say this about the
1314
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,800
Notre Dame, Ohio State game in
the reason.
1315
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:58,200
I didn't call that my big
screener is because Ohio,
1316
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:01,500
State's the heavy favorite in
Ohio State could still lose that
1317
01:19:01,500 --> 01:19:04,400
game and still make the college
football playoff.
1318
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:09,400
Whereas, you look at Utah who is
a kind of Dark Horse favorite to
1319
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,300
make the college football.
Playoff if a Who's the Florida,
1320
01:19:12,300 --> 01:19:16,300
especially if they lose badly to
Florida there out there out so
1321
01:19:16,300 --> 01:19:17,800
that that's kind of the
difference there.
1322
01:19:18,300 --> 01:19:21,700
I get that 110%.
All right, Braun.
1323
01:19:21,700 --> 01:19:23,500
I know there's some things
breaking.
1324
01:19:24,100 --> 01:19:26,800
I'm not going to discuss them
because I'd eat you read into
1325
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:31,500
that more Jacob, uh, shout-out.
I see your message.
1326
01:19:31,500 --> 01:19:36,000
We're not putting it up there a
because if it's in 24/7, it
1327
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,400
could be behind a pay wall.
We also don't know if it's going
1328
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:41,000
to impact anything, we don't
really know.
1329
01:19:41,500 --> 01:19:43,600
Don't know what it is.
We're going to have to go
1330
01:19:43,900 --> 01:19:46,900
literally read this and talk
about this after we go off in
1331
01:19:46,900 --> 01:19:49,300
just a second here.
But if nothing else is breaking
1332
01:19:49,300 --> 01:19:53,300

1350
01:21:02,500 --> 01:21:04,600

2
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,300
My name is Curtis Wilson.
I'm Brian Sigler, buddy.
3
00:00:54,300 --> 00:01:00,000
We are back finally on game
week.
4
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:02,800
We have a game.
This Friday.
5
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,400
It's actually happening.
How you feeling buddy?
6
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,800
It's been what eight long months
of no hokey football and it is
7
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:17,500
back this Friday. 7 p.m.
ESPN you on a Friday night.
8
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:21,100
I'm just so glad it's back, man.
It's been so much fun this week
9
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:25,200
doing the old hat of Looking at
data looking at Players talking
10
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,600
with you about shit shooting the
breeze and knowing that it's
11
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,600
back.
Regardless what happens?
12
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,100
The Hokies are back on the field
Friday night and me and I can't
13
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,400
wait.
Yeah, it's gonna be nice to
14
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,000
finally have some actual stuff
to argue about.
15
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,200
That's actually on the record
and not speculative, right?
16
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,200
Like we feel like the between
the timeline between the chats
17
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,500
between you nobody's at work.
Work, things like that.
18
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:57,100
Like, we've been talking
speculatively about what these
19
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:59,600
Hoagies can do.
We're about to finally have some
20
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,100
real stuff to talk about and it
was kind of good to kind of get
21
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:06,500
back into that flow of watching
the tape.
22
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,900
Breaking it down, seeing what
the opponents are all about.
23
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,100
Looking at the data to see if we
can, you know, peel the onion
24
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:16,400
back a little bit on the who the
monarchs are and how the Hokies
25
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,000
can go about putting them down.
Absolutely.
26
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,600
That's the fun part in.
This is the fun part of our
27
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,800
season from Now until December
because the content rights
28
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,200
itself, we have to do the
research, we have to figure out
29
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:33,500
the data points, where they're
not good, where they're bad or
30
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:35,100
where we're speculating their
good and bad.
31
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:38,100
Because right now, all we have
to look at is the 2021 season,
32
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:40,700
which we were peeling back from
looking at tape, looking at
33
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:45,900
data, and then going into this.
But before we get deepen that
34
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:48,800
tonight because Know, The Enemy
is coming up in a little while,
35
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,800
here, we do have Hokies news and
notes and Ryan, when this tweet
36
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,400
dropped, last week, we had
gotten the winds, we had gotten
37
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,800
the winds that it was going to
happen, we felt it and it's
38
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,200
coming.
It was kind of Return of the
39
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,500
lunch pail to Virginia check
that tweet that went out with JC
40
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,400
in jgw and Xavier and Pearson
all speaking to what it meant to
41
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,900
them.
And then seeing some of the
42
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:20,000
highlights of those guys
playing, like it just it just
43
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,300
got you this warm fuzzy feeling
inside.
44
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,000
At least it did me.
Yeah, I was right there with you
45
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,300
man.
It feels like a I mean we talked
46
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:34,600
about the prior has been a
culture, hire a big-time culture
47
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,700
higher, and there's no bigger
emblem of the Virginia Tech
48
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:43,300
culture than the lunch pail in
the lunch pail defense, correct.
49
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:45,500
Bringing that back.
Was a no brainer price.
50
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:47,400
Said it was a no-brainer and
it's something that's been in
51
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,300
the works since he was hired.
I'm glad they kind of saved it,
52
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,800
kept it.
Kept it under wraps for as long
53
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,500
as they could and unveiled it
when they did.
54
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,300
It was a good way to kind of
roll into the season with a
55
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:03,200
little bit of extra hype a
little bit extra juice juice
56
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:06,400
and, and I'm excited, and I'm
excited about what that means
57
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,200
for this defense.
I mean, you know, we can talk
58
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,500
about it all.
We want to about, you know, it's
59
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:19,200
just a lunch pail, but I think
It's what it stands for and what
60
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,500
that can do in terms of
motivation for your play and
61
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,100
motivation, for your work, ethic
and things like that.
62
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:28,600
When you have that type of
tradition, people, take it
63
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,500
seriously, and that can Elevate
their work that can Elevate
64
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:33,700
their play.
It is a mentality.
65
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:37,100
Yeah, it is mentality.
And I know here in prodded a
66
00:04:37,108 --> 00:04:40,200
speak at the presser about, it's
always been a thing for the
67
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,700
defense, but I think if we look
in the history of Virginia Tech,
68
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:45,800
the lunch pail is a mentality
for the whole team.
69
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,800
It was a for the you no offense
back as we were coming up when
70
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,300
we used to just rode great
people and put people into
71
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,900
misery or hit them with a
high-fly play.
72
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,600
After you beating them down or
the block ponds or Beamer ball.
73
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,500
So, it was, it's that mentality
across the whole team.
74
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:09,800
And if you can remember like one
of the old traditions were when
75
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,100
you went on the field or when
you went to someone else's place
76
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:17,100
in one, you took the lunch pail
to the Middlefield you dug out a
77
00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:19,800
big chunk of it.
You threw it in there because
78
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,900
you claim their Turf, that
mentality is something I love
79
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,300
something else, I loved and I
think having guys on the staff,
80
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,400
two guys that were part.
When that lunch pail first
81
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,800
appeared, 27 years ago in 1995
and again, it gets you kind of
82
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,200
emotional and think about it was
when Pearson Prelude, one of the
83
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,600
all-time hooky Greeks Comes in
gets the lunch pail talks about
84
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000
it and presents it to tomorrow.
Connor to be the holder for this
85
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,200
year like that, that if you
didn't have some onions watching
86
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,100
that it's tough to say.
If you're Virginia Tech pain, if
87
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:58,400
you know, what Pearson was to
the program and how big of an
88
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,800
impact he had.
Yeah, it's a big deal and I
89
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,400
know, you know, we saw people
talk about on the timeline that
90
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,300
world that offensive side of it
to like you were talking about,
91
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:11,200
you know, Dwight was saying, you
know, it was a mentality.
92
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,500
That we all had, even though it
wasn't, you know, a lunch pail
93
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:17,300
offense, was lunch pail defense.
We had that mentality, but we
94
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:22,300
also knew that, you know, as the
offense, you know, that lunch
95
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:25,800
pail defense could pick us up.
Yeah, when things weren't
96
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,500
weren't going quite the way we
want to.
97
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,000
And I think that mentality
knowing that defense has that
98
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,900
mentality for you that can help
the offensive mentality as well
99
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:37,800
as a.
Okay, well, we don't got to get
100
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,300
all of them.
We just got to get the ones that
101
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:42,700
count.
Absolutely, absolutely.
102
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:45,800
So big thing, big motivational
kind of done it.
103
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,600
A really good point in time as
they get into that game week,
104
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,200
sort of the unveiling of that
and seeing everybody speak to it
105
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,600
and knowing the history behind
it.
106
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,500
All right, let's flip over real
quick.
107
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:00,600
Couple injury notes.
Benji guy Snail out for the
108
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,800
season.
Matt Johnson out for the season.
109
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:07,500
Benji.
Done really hurt sucks.
110
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:10,400
You tours his other sucks.
It looks like it could
111
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,200
potentially be another torn ACL.
You know usually you hear one
112
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,600
go.
A lot of times that other one
113
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,500
blows out or sand.
Achilles only year that also the
114
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:23,600
walk on Matt Johnson out here
from Deep Run price.
115
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,600
Said it.
Got we expect to be on special
116
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,800
teams contributor out for the
seasons.
117
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,700
Well, not specified.
Benji's wasn't specified either.
118
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:34,900
I'm speculating either ACL or
Achilles because usually, when
119
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:38,600
you hear, One go you here injury
and you here season ended.
120
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,500
It's usually the other of the
Achilles blew out.
121
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Yep.
Yeah, I mean it happens often
122
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,500
times because you know you're
compensating for the one and
123
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:50,900
next thing you know, the other
one goes, you know, thankfully
124
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:58,000
it's not the same one I'm Toby
and generally in generally, you
125
00:07:58,008 --> 00:08:02,800
know, once you have those ACLS
generally, once they're back
126
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,500
there, they're a little more
solid than they were the first.
127
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,600
Go round so yeah, let's hope
that's the case for him.
128
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Speedy recovery to both of those
gentlemen, but again, two guys
129
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,800
that were going to be minimal to
sub minimal contributors for the
130
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,400
2022 season.
Probably hurts more with Johnson
131
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,200
than anything.
Probably having a guy like him
132
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,100
out there that on a special
teams unit.
133
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,400
Probably more than Gaza know who
may have found the red shirt
134
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,400
regardless this year.
All right, something else kind
135
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,500
of talked about last week that
caught my eye eye, man.
136
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:39,200
Like that was Brent Pride.
Discussing with the Gameday Ops
137
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,400
are going to look like on the
defensive side of the ball and
138
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,500
getting a little into the
offensive side of the ball.
139
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:46,900
Defensively.
He said straight up along with
140
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:50,500
himself, obviously Chris Marvel
in the field.
141
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:53,900
Derrick Jones on the field
Jayceon dip.
142
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:59,100
Any, any shock seeing that?
I mean, know you got you got one
143
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:02,000
guy at each level of the the
defense out there, so that just
144
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,700
makes sense.
All right, that's a, that's a
145
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:07,800
guy on the field that can talk
specifically to each level.
146
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,800
The defense get them where they
need to be.
147
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,100
And then also obviously I feel
like defensive coordinators have
148
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:18,500
a better feel for the game when
they're calling it from the
149
00:09:18,508 --> 00:09:20,600
sidelines.
Yeah that's a big thing.
150
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,700
Even though we know prize going
to be calling it most of the
151
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:26,400
time, I'm sure there's going to
be input with more of there.
152
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,400
I think having a guy like JC on
the sidelines is Big because JC
153
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,200
is a fire guy you know kind of
like tap was before you know
154
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:40,800
kind of like Charlie whiles you
sold them.
155
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Get animated on the sidelines,
they punch things, they break
156
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,000
things shit.
Hopefully JC doesn't break his
157
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,200
hand at any point in time.
This year, that is what it is.
158
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,100
Obviously if those three guys
are on the field, it's leaving
159
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,800
Pearson Prelude and Sean Quinn
up in the box.
160
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:00,800
And I think you just Kind of
said, it piercing on the back
161
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:07,900
end with Quinn coaching.
The nickel in the Sam's closer
162
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:09,200
to the line of scrimmage.
Right?
163
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:14,200
Yep, that's exactly it.
And I think also, when you look
164
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,500
at it you're talking about two
very cerebral and experienced
165
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,700
folks in the booth in terms of
breaking down.
166
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:26,400
Oh yeah, what's happening?
You got, I mean Pearson
167
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,300
obviously with with his pedigree
And then you talk about Quinn, a
168
00:10:29,308 --> 00:10:34,200
guy that has been, you know, a
head coach at another level, a
169
00:10:34,208 --> 00:10:37,100
guy that's been defensive
coordinator at another level.
170
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:41,700
So he's a guy that can diagnose
and get that information down to
171
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,500
the sidelines when you see
something different than what
172
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:48,600
they see from that position.
Yeah, so that's the way it'll
173
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,000
look.
So as your kind of perusing, the
174
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
sidelines notice, you'll notice
those three guys, maybe they
175
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,900
shape Pearson up in the Box.
I almost want to make a bet that
176
00:10:56,900 --> 00:11:00,100
they will show Pearson in the
Just because he played in his
177
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:03,100
first year coaching.
Alright, offensive game day.
178
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:07,000
We didn't get as much on it, but
we kind of got that they've been
179
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,300
toying around with her to be
Brad, Lynn or Tyler, Bowing in
180
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:13,600
the box.
And kind of the way Pride came
181
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,200
off of how it was going to be in
the Box, not a shock with an
182
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,100
offensive coordinator.
And Glenn was going to be on the
183
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:22,700
field potentially.
He didn't really talk to anyone
184
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:27,400
else, but let's just kind of do
some speculation. if bones in
185
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:34,200
the box and Glen's on the field,
let's start with Joe Rudolph?
186
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,700
Where's Joe Rudolph boxer field?
I'd say he is on the field,
187
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:45,300
okay?
Now, from your plan experience,
188
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:48,300
I'm assuming that with an
offensive line coach they need
189
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:50,300
to be on the field because of
the amount of people they need
190
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:53,300
to talk with.
Yeah.
191
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:57,100
I mean, I've never had a
offensive line coach that was in
192
00:11:57,100 --> 00:12:02,100
the booth in my, in my all my
years of playing, I never had
193
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:03,900
offensive line coach, that was
in the food.
194
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:07,100
So my assumption is that he will
be there unless there's
195
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:11,200
obviously, you know, a backup
line coach might be up there,
196
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,900
but but never never never the
primary position coach.
197
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:18,800
My other thought is that
fontelle Minds will also be on
198
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,600
the field.
Okay, because if you've got,
199
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,600
I'll say this, you've got a,
you've got Boeing up, their
200
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,200
minds is kind of the guy on the
field that can work with the
201
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,300
tight ends and the wide
receivers.
202
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,200
So that's my thought they're.
All right.
203
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,400
What do you think holds up in
the box or do you think it's
204
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,600
only going to be Tyler bowling
with some analysts in the Box
205
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,800
because obviously old some
special teams coordinator?
206
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:49,100
I'm thinking I'm thinking it's
going to be bowing with some of
207
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:52,500
the other assistant position
coaches and some analysts.
208
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:57,500
That's my field, just because of
what hope does from a special
209
00:12:57,500 --> 00:12:59,800
teams coordinator.
You want that guy on the field,
210
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:01,600
okay?
That's going to be interesting
211
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,400
to see.
It will be interesting to see
212
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,000
who is on the field in,
obviously, who's up in the Box.
213
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Hopefully we get some more info
on that.
214
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,600
I would also be interested
because we do have more staffers
215
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,000
who can be in the Box this year.
Especially, you know, Ryan Chris
216
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,800
right behind Chris getting a lot
of Pub from Brent Pride talking
217
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,200
about him.
Is he that second set of As for
218
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,600
Tyler bone in the box where you
can have for the offensive
219
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,300
coaches down the field including
poultry specialty for.
220
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:33,600
So that'll be really
interesting.
221
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:38,600
Well Brian, we were hoping we
were hoping we were hoping and
222
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,000
it did happen today.
Before we went live, the depth
223
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
chart was released.
Well, The Unofficial depth chart
224
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,000
and obviously, we've got a few
things.
225
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,900
We want to talk to on that
tonight.
226
00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:51,100
And let's talk about first, the
one that called your eyes, you
227
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:55,100
mentioned was the wide receiver
room.
228
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:58,600
Yeah, that was that was an
interesting one.
229
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,800
Wasn't it?
When we, when we were looking at
230
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,100
it?
We were like, okay, well, that's
231
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:07,300
a little different because we
talked the last, you know, few
232
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:08,500
weeks who said.
All right?
233
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:14,800
So three guys, pretty much locks
in terms of amount of, about of
234
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:18,800
reps playing time snaps that
they will get in a given game.
235
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,300
What we didn't know is who that
four and five guy, we're going
236
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:28,200
to be.
We now know that that was not a
237
00:14:28,208 --> 00:14:30,600
shock.
Yeah, we're not a shop.
238
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:35,700
We got guys smell in there at
the for it is the 5.
239
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:41,400
That is the pretty big.
I mean I'll say it big shot
240
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,000
William caki V, Texas katowice.
This pack of Itza.
241
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,400
Walk-on wide receiver from
Charlotte 61 195.
242
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:57,500
Four pounds.
Definitely Providence High
243
00:14:57,500 --> 00:15:00,200
School down there.
Redshirt Junior.
244
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:04,100
His name.
Had gotten mention though, you
245
00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:07,700
got mentioned in the last few
weeks about how coach was
246
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:14,200
impressed with him.
Um, you know, there's not much
247
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,400
he redshirted he played a, he
played a few games and 2020 on
248
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,200
special teams.
Don't have any info fee, play
249
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,700
lash.
I'm assuming, if he's a redshirt
250
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:25,600
Junior, you played last year as
well.
251
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,200
But it's one of those chakras
because the fifth guy we were,
252
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,700
you know, Christian moths, Jalen
Jones, plethora of other
253
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:37,300
players.
So it's kind of shocking that
254
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,500
walk on Big Willie.
It's that fifth receiver spot
255
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:45,200
and you know what, good on that
kid.
256
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:49,500
You don't like it for probably
busting his ass giving 110%
257
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:53,900
every day to wear.
If other potentially more
258
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,200
talented players weren't taken
and he's busting his ass.
259
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,100
Yeah, there you go.
I would hope that first play of
260
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:03,400
the game.
He's on the field.
261
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,900
I'll say this.
So you know, we see him.
262
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:10,400
There were a little shocked that
that we see.
263
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,500
Name there.
But we're also not seeing from a
264
00:16:13,508 --> 00:16:17,700
depth chart just because of how
its structured is what those
265
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:21,400
hybrid players are doing within
certain formations whether it's
266
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,700
the three-wide sets or what have
you, because I imagine that
267
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:29,000
we're going to see a whole lot
of Connor blumrich split out
268
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,600
wide.
I imagine that there's going to
269
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:36,300
be sets and formations where we
see chance black split out wide
270
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,000
be shocking.
Yeah, I don't think this is
271
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,500
necessarily You know, he might
be fifth in terms of, you know,
272
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:48,000
he's got a WR next to his name
right now but that's not
273
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,100
necessarily saying he's going to
be the fifth option at the wide
274
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:54,200
receiver position.
Well well we look at because of
275
00:16:54,700 --> 00:16:58,800
how much we have that position
flexibility with some of the
276
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,900
other players in that offense.
Well especially when we look at
277
00:17:01,900 --> 00:17:06,400
tight end and it's literally or
or which tells me Nick's gonna
278
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,700
be on the field, a lot Drake's
going to be on the field a lot.
279
00:17:09,700 --> 00:17:11,200
Conner's going to be on the
field, a lot.
280
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,099
Yeah.
I mean Gary Kent Drake has great
281
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:16,900
athleticism, he can split out,
he can do a lot of things in the
282
00:17:16,908 --> 00:17:21,000
short game with obviously
calling, Connors got some good
283
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,599
speed.
Sounds like his route running
284
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,099
and hands are coming along as
well so you know, we'll see him
285
00:17:27,099 --> 00:17:28,600
a lot.
I feel like and you know they're
286
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,000
going to even do some flexible
things with Gallo.
287
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,300
So this is not going to be and I
haven't even mentioned my
288
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:38,300
favorite player Daquan right
yet.
289
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:40,900
He's not on the depth chart for
on what he's out on the depth
290
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:44,800
chart yet.
He's not on the depth chart yet
291
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,700
what Braun is trying to say is
when you put the wide receiver
292
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:51,600
room on the depth chart it
actually should go wide receiver
293
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,600
than it should Encompass tight
end and it shouldn't come as
294
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,000
running back a little bit.
These are wide receiver well
295
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,300
when you're talking about the
slot position you're probably
296
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:03,200
talking about a truce lot but
then you're also talking about
297
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,500
two or three hybrid players that
are going to be in there as well
298
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,400
and then you probably are going
to see it some point and we saw
299
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,000
it in the spring game, Jaden in
the Wayne kicking out playing.
300
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,500
Wow.
Pipe laying eggs because they
301
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:15,400
did show that position
flexibility.
302
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:19,300
So and that's something we
haven't seen a lot of, you know,
303
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:21,800
shout out David Cunningham and
all the reporters down there and
304
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,100
giving us Insight.
We never saw a lot of those
305
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:27,400
periods where they were truly
run sets with you were like an
306
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,700
see, like get me what they're
running sets.
307
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:31,000
Let me see.
Who's on the field.
308
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,600
We never saw it, obviously, that
will be unveiled Friday night.
309
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,300
All right, let's Flip It To The
bread-and-butter Man.
310
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:44,000
The offensive line.
So Shit, and Daniel Miller Tech
311
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,400
on the on the right side.
I think that's.
312
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:52,700
And I would say that's really
shocking but that's disturbing.
313
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:55,300
But let me break it down a
little bit further than that
314
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:59,900
because I'm not as concerned as
I think some people would be
315
00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:01,700
because when you're talking
about a too deep on the
316
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:05,600
offensive line, you're not
really talking about a to a full
317
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,200
to line.
Most of these guys are not going
318
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,000
to be playing.
It's going to be a 7 to 8, man.
319
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,400
Rotation, you're going to get
your starters and then you're
320
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,700
going to have, you know, your
Braille and more that's going to
321
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:21,600
be a swing guard, probably
Xavier Chaplin, that's going to
322
00:19:21,608 --> 00:19:25,100
be a swing tackle and then
you've got Jack Holly field at
323
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:27,000
Centre.
Those are going to be the eight
324
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,800
guys that are going to primary
reps at the position, barring
325
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,400
significant injury.
Now, if we do have significant
326
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:40,500
injury, it gets a little scary.
But we still have a traditional
327
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:43,700
eight-man rotation that most
offensive line coaches are
328
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:48,300
comfortable with.
I don't think there's a big flaw
329
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:51,600
in any of those first seven or
eight guys.
330
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:54,900
After that, it's a very steep
drop off.
331
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,800
All right.
Do you think Xavier is ready to
332
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,900
play in the first month?
Or is he one of those guys?
333
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:04,000
He's like the seven and a
quarter and it's that first
334
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,300
month and been practice talking
about, he's like, these guys are
335
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:09,600
getting better in the season and
where we hope we don't have to
336
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,500
see him until after.
After four three or four games,
337
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,300
I mean, you want to get him,
some reps at least at Wofford
338
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,600
Saturday and hopefully Saturday
at ODU, Friday, I'm proud of
339
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,900
you.
At least it'll be a Friday night
340
00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:25,700
at least at least at Wofford
though.
341
00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:28,700
You want to get him some
significant reps but then you
342
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:31,200
probably don't want to put him
in there unless you absolutely
343
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:37,400
have to after that because you
probably want to say if we can
344
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,900
red shirt and great.
If we can't that's fine too
345
00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:46,700
because he's ready to play.
So you know, you're holding him
346
00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:49,000
back as much as you can.
You get in maybe one or two
347
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,200
games early in the season and
then unless you absolutely have
348
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,900
to get him reps.
You kind of holding back.
349
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,400
Yeah, absolutely.
Because what the hope is you get
350
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,700
into that November part of the
schedule and you decide which
351
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,800
two games there.
Yep, that you want him to play
352
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,500
in.
To get more reps to get ready
353
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:12,200
for next year to probably be the
FrontRunner for left tackle,
354
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,200
he's the left tackle in waiting
for sure.
355
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,600
Yeah.
He's the left tackle in Waiting,
356
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,100
he's the guy that's gonna
relieve Silas of his duties at
357
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:20,800
the end of the season.
Now we go.
358
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,100
All right, defensive in.
Obviously with the news today
359
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:26,600
that CJ McRae is banged up
there.
360
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,500
Potentially seeing if you will
make the trip down to Norfolk
361
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:35,400
for Friday night and we heard
that it's like, okay and I think
362
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,500
Brian would you got kind of a Is
when you see three young guys on
363
00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:43,300
that, too deep.
Yeah, that was the big thing for
364
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:46,900
me, you know, seeing you know,
McDonald was the one that jumped
365
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:51,800
off in terms of not expecting
him to be at that point.
366
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:55,400
So seeing him there is
interesting, but especially
367
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,900
Burgos and moist and the the
true freshman in there, you
368
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:05,500
know, we got Burgos kind of in
that that quasi two, two, three,
369
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,000
three, three deep at one end.
You got moist in there and I
370
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,800
think, you know, once you get
McRae back Hopefully, it's this
371
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,300
week.
I think that's one of those
372
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:17,200
things where he's banged up
apparently he practiced today.
373
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:22,200
So he's not it's not a
significant injury but it might
374
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,500
be one of those.
He's a guy we're going to need a
375
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:28,700
month from now.
Let's not rush him back against
376
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:30,900
ODU.
Well, it's a guy.
377
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:33,300
You feel like you're going to
need more next week potentially
378
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,500
than this week?
Absolutely.
379
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:38,800
You know, it's one of those
things where if we're
380
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,900
controlling this game in, CJ
doesn't need to Play great less
381
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:44,800
physical toll on his body,
whatever.
382
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,600
Part of the body is injured to
get him healthy and be a full,
383
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,200
go for Boston College, and I
think that's the issue.
384
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,300
But I think seeing those young
guys you starting to see, you
385
00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:59,100
know, some of the older guys who
have been here for a few years,
386
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:00,500
no disrespect to them.
Like Eli.
387
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:03,400
Atoms are kind of getting in the
back seat.
388
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,800
Could they still see potential
time?
389
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,000
Yes, it's the line.
You know, the bodies that aren't
390
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,500
named.
They're still going to get some
391
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:11,600
play time.
So don't I'm not going to be
392
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,600
shy.
About that.
393
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:14,700
Yeah I'm kind of happy.
I'll say this.
394
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:17,100
I'm kind of happy.
I'm not seeing Eli Adams in
395
00:23:17,108 --> 00:23:19,900
there and that's no knock on him
personally.
396
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:27,300
But based on his size and what
he brings his pass rush was
397
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:31,300
never in his speed was never
Elite enough to justify what we
398
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:36,900
gave up in his physical size.
He would get pushed around he
399
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,000
unless he was beating you around
the edge with his speed.
400
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,600
He didn't really bring a lot to
the table solid tackler, but
401
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:48,700
overall just not.
Not a well-rounded player enough
402
00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:53,400
to have out there for more than
a spot spot snap here or there.
403
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:57,200
So seeing these guys, As these
younger guys, come up, making
404
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,200
plays, and challenging, some of
those Veterans for these
405
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,400
rotational spots.
On the defensive line, I think,
406
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,700
is a big thing.
Yep.
407
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,800
Now, what kind of was a shocker
to me was a linebacker and no,
408
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,900
not my crocheting.
Those are exactly probably like
409
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:18,100
we expected to see them, but
when we take a look at the will,
410
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:22,900
it's Jaden Keller.
Gave McDonald or Alan Tisdale
411
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:29,800
The triple or again, in at a
position, unlike tight end where
412
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:32,800
it's very unlikely.
All three are going to be able
413
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,900
to feel the same time.
And I look at this and I just
414
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:39,700
think I think Jaden Keller is
coming on like a freaking
415
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:43,800
freight train to take that spot.
Yeah I mean it looks like Keller
416
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,400
is I mean it's gonna be his I
think by the end of the season
417
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:50,300
like.
If it if it isn't, you know,
418
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:54,700
already he's obviously one a
right now, he's the That's going
419
00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:58,500
to be on the field first.
But the interesting thing that I
420
00:24:58,508 --> 00:25:01,700
saw in there and especially
since we didn't see a guy like
421
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:06,100
Dean Ferguson's name in here,
seeing Jaden McDonald, kind of
422
00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:08,700
ahead of Alan Tisdale and we
knew that Tisdale has been
423
00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:12,300
running with the threes during
some of these scrimmage sessions
424
00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:17,300
in practice.
But We didn't know if that was
425
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:19,900
necessarily indicative of what
the depth chart will look like,
426
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:23,100
if that's just, you know,
something that he's been doing.
427
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:27,300
But apparently, he was wearing a
scout team jersey one day.
428
00:25:27,300 --> 00:25:32,200
And like so this is this is an
interesting situation, but I
429
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,300
said it last week, you know,
this can only be an elevation of
430
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:40,000
playwright because when we talk
about Alan Tisdale's play, it's
431
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,500
always been inconsistent.
He had a breakout year in
432
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:49,800
nineteen and it's kind of Been
steadily and meddling.
433
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,500
He's been meddling.
We know he had things going on
434
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:55,300
in his life birth of a child and
stuff like that.
435
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:58,800
And that trust me that can that
can get you from chasing your
436
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,900
goals to sort of level setting
and normally attempted to attack
437
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,200
those goals again.
So it's just interesting to see
438
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,600
that but everything from Keller
it's just he's getting the size.
439
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,900
I mean he's 63 already he's
already up in the 225 pound
440
00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:20,100
range and he Remember he was a
recruited as a receiver if I
441
00:26:20,108 --> 00:26:25,600
don't recall, right, I believe.
So, and he was an athlete.
442
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:31,100
So this guy has some nasty nasty
athleticism that.
443
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,200
If you're talking about, you
know, next year, is he the mic
444
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,400
is potentially kalai.
Lawson, who was seen at practice
445
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,400
today, which is good, which is
good, same way.
446
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,400
Maybe he's getting closer to
going in that little Nick, he
447
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,300
had is gone.
Gone.
448
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:49,600
I hope so at least for the rest
of the season.
449
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:55,400
But if Keller, is that guy.
I mean athletically in the
450
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,600
linebacking corps, we're going
to go from where we've been
451
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:03,400
solid to back to.
I think Tremaine, I think
452
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,800
Xavier, I think some of those
other guys like that which is a
453
00:27:05,808 --> 00:27:09,800
big step in the right direction
in this era of college football.
454
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,500
Yeah.
And I just checked so he was
455
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:15,800
recruited as a linebacker but he
came in at 2020.
456
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,600
Well, So he's put on 21 pounds
and one and a half Seasons here.
457
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:24,400
I think that's pretty big for
him.
458
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,600
I think that's going to and he's
only going to get better going
459
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,100
forward especially with guys
like Marvin pry.
460
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:35,800
Working with him, so heavily.
So I'm looking forward to seeing
461
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,100
what this kid can do long term
for sure.
462
00:27:38,900 --> 00:27:40,900
Awesome.
Well, last piece want to take a
463
00:27:40,908 --> 00:27:46,800
look at here is the corner back
room and Brie on Murray.
464
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,400
Ian and I'm Hannah cabin at the
York.
465
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:54,700
I'm not shocked to see this
because I think you've been
466
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:57,500
mentioning it over and over
again about situation right
467
00:27:57,500 --> 00:28:00,200
there, some things Armani's, the
better overall.
468
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,800
But there are some things that
Briana Marie does in certain
469
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,600
situations, where he does
benefit.
470
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:12,200
So I think that's big.
I think it's also think it's
471
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,200
awesome to see the DJ Harvey is
holding down the two slot behind
472
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,700
Orion strong.
Yeah, that's big.
473
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:22,000
I like Harvey.
I like that he's, you know, from
474
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,500
all accounts is going to be the
primary Nickelback when we go
475
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:29,700
into that, that Personnel Group.
So it's going to be interesting
476
00:28:29,700 --> 00:28:32,900
to see what happens with the
Armani Chapman Breann.
477
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:36,800
Marie combo there, you know, we
I've mentioned it before Murray
478
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,800
does pretty well.
When he can drive on a route, he
479
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,800
doesn't do great turning and
running, especially with kind of
480
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,400
the the Guys, that have that
combination of speed and and
481
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:56,300
strength and size.
You know, he's five-ten, he's
482
00:28:56,300 --> 00:28:59,700
190, he's not Armani Chapman.
He's got, who's got an inch on
483
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:05,200
him and almost 20 pounds Armani?
Can, you know, fight with those
484
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,000
receivers at the line of
scrimmage a little bit more and
485
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,600
still make up some ground there.
So there's a little bit of
486
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,300
difference there between those
two and I think Murray's, lack
487
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:17,000
of size.
He struggles against guys, We
488
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,600
saw in the spring game with
Caleb Smith, he struggles with
489
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,600
that type of player, a player
with good size, good strength,
490
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,000
and above average speed.
So there's probably going to be
491
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,800
situations where Murray's out
there for stretches and
492
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,400
depending on how he's matchup
and who he's matched up again,
493
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,800
that could be good or bad for
us.
494
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:40,200
I like Chapman overall better
though.
495
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,300
Chapman is a more rounded
player.
496
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,700
There aren't the gaps when he
gets against certain
497
00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:53,600
Competition, there has been some
areas where, you know, the
498
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,400
mental gaps, have been there
where he hasn't been in the
499
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,100
right place in terms of busted
coverages and things like that.
500
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:04,100
But if he can clean that stuff
up, I think he's going to be all
501
00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:06,500
right there
abso-freakin'-lutely.
502
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:11,600
So if you guys haven't checked
it out there, I'm always going
503
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,800
to push.
David Cunningham has it out
504
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:14,700
there.
I think you were a little
505
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:16,600
article for Tech Sidelines
today.
506
00:30:16,700 --> 00:30:20,700
Day discussing with the depth
chart looks like take a look at
507
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:21,900
it.
It's going to be interesting to
508
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:27,200
see what the product as one of
our listeners here tonight.
509
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,300
Matt Jones has said can't wait
to see the own feel product.
510
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:33,600
I think that's what we're all
waiting for now, this change in
511
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,800
culture, that's changing some
philosophies, some upgrades at
512
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,400
certain positions, and now that
it's here, It's here.
513
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,300
So this is what we're going to
do.
514
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:49,100
We are going to take a quick
pause from our digital partners

Now back to the episode All
right, Brian.
525
00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:21,700
So let's flip it here.
Let's get to know the enemy, the
526
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:25,800
ODU monarchs and let's start on
the offensive side of the ball
527
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:29,300
and let's talk about their
quarterback, Hayden wolf of 65,
528
00:31:29,300 --> 00:31:35,100
235 pounds came out in 2019 as a
three-star from Venice, Florida,
529
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:41,200
and then, you know, last year,
had a solid season started ten
530
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,100
games, sixty-three percent,
completion percentage liver,
531
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:49,700
1,900 yards, Words, little over
seven and a half per attempts,
532
00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:54,000
10 touchdown seven
interceptions, you got to look
533
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
at the tape.
What's the tape telling you
534
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,700
about this guy?
Yeah.
535
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:01,700
I mean Hayden wolf is a pretty
good-looking quarterback.
536
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:04,600
He does a good job of working
through his progressions.
537
00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:08,100
The routes.
He likes to throw the best.
538
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:11,900
He throws a good seem good, fade
kind of those intermediate
539
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:15,100
intermediate routes.
Just inside the hash just
540
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:19,100
outside the hash.
He sometimes inaccurate with
541
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:21,400
those intermediate routes,
especially over the middle.
542
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,900
And I'm not talking about the,
the, the Fades of the scenes but
543
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:29,800
more of the, like, digs He's
crossers things of that nature,
544
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,400
he'll miss sometimes, at least
interceptions, sometimes that
545
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:38,100
least, overthrows, his eyes can
be affected by the rush like
546
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:41,600
most quarterbacks but it's
especially true for a guy like
547
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,700
him because he is a true pocket
quarterback.
548
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,700
He is not a quarterback that's
going to move around a lot.
549
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:50,800
He's not a quarterback that is
going to take off a lot.
550
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,100
He is a guy that's going to sit
in the pocket waiting for it to
551
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:56,700
come open.
Go through his progressions and
552
00:32:56,700 --> 00:32:59,200
deliver it.
So, we can get pressure on him
553
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,300
early in the step down.
That's going to improve our odds
554
00:33:01,300 --> 00:33:03,200
of getting off the field.
Yeah.
555
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,500
And you mentioned about not a
true Russian quarterback.
556
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:08,700
I mean, the data shows it.
He only attempted to run 14
557
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:12,900
times in 10 games last year and
with when you accrued that with
558
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:17,000
also the times he was sacked you
as negative 92 yards, rushing
559
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,800
the ball.
So obviously the threats, not
560
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,300
there at all but I know
something you've been
561
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:24,600
mentioning, Brian.
Looking at this offense is
562
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:29,000
talking about the mess.
Shhhh, and what we should be
563
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,000
doing with that concerning.
Hayden wolf.
564
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,300
Yeah, I mean just he's a statue
back there he's not going to
565
00:33:37,308 --> 00:33:41,900
take off and run, there's no
reason to respect the mesh point
566
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:44,300
for the quarterback run because
he's just not going to do it.
567
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:47,900
It's not their attack.
The running back.
568
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:50,900
Make sure your backer is
prepared because they do have
569
00:33:50,900 --> 00:33:54,800
some are BR p 0 type elements in
this offense but there's no
570
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,500
reason to respect the
quarterback taking off and
571
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:01,300
trying to get a first down.
Alright, well let's flip it in.
572
00:34:01,308 --> 00:34:03,800
Let's talk about a couple of his
favorite weapons here tonight.
573
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,900
In the first one is a
legitimately a very large human
574
00:34:07,900 --> 00:34:13,100
being that cunts.
The tight end, six foot eight
575
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:17,300
245 pounds when he came out in
2018.
576
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:19,800
He was a four-star out of Camp
Hill PA.
577
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,000
He was a top 150 player, a
top-five tight end in the
578
00:34:24,007 --> 00:34:26,900
country.
He originally committed to Penn
579
00:34:26,900 --> 00:34:29,000
State.
So Brent Prime mentioned it
580
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,800
today.
Hey I was one of the guys are
581
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,900
recruited Zach.
Know a lot about what use a good
582
00:34:33,900 --> 00:34:39,400
thing in my opinion, he did
leave Penn State in 2021 through
583
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,600
the portal.
And Brawn, let's talk about this
584
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,699
guy like what he is and he's is
he their best player on the
585
00:34:48,699 --> 00:34:52,400
field in general?
Yeah.
586
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:57,200
I mean I would say he is their
biggest Target in that offense,
587
00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:01,300
okay.
In terms of volume he's going to
588
00:35:01,308 --> 00:35:03,300
be the guy that's going to get
the heaviest Targets in the
589
00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:05,500
passing game.
That doesn't mean he's going to
590
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:08,200
rack up the most yards or
anything like that, but he is
591
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,200
the guy that is going to be
targeted, the most and the
592
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,400
offense, he's a big physical
tight and you already talked
593
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,700
about that.
He's got that NFL size and
594
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:21,700
athleticism that you would see
in a top 150 power 5.
595
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:28,000
Did tight in and he is their
primary Red Zone threat as well.
596
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,300
So when they get in the Red Zone
they will look for him to get in
597
00:35:32,300 --> 00:35:34,700
the end zone.
But he's definitely a guy that
598
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:37,600
we've got to check constantly
because they will hit him up.
599
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,900
The seam, they will hit him
outside of the hashes
600
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:43,700
occasionally.
So they'll line them up in
601
00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:47,600
different places, but he's still
that kind of prototypical style
602
00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:50,400
tight end that you'll see in the
NFL.
603
00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:53,000
Let me ask this for I get into
some of the stats from last
604
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,400
year.
What do you think we're going to
605
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,200
do coverage wise, is this going
to be a bracket type coverage or
606
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:02,700
do you think, you know, one of
our safety's, our linebackers
607
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:05,100
who are significantly athletic,
even though they're going to
608
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:07,800
give up size or going to hang
with them, like what do you
609
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,900
think the plan is to counter
this guy?
610
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,300
I think they're going to put
their best coverage backers.
611
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:19,500
Safety against him, fairly
significantly and hope that we
612
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:22,700
can get enough pressure with the
Blitz and pressure with the
613
00:36:22,707 --> 00:36:27,300
Demons of wine to where he can't
cause us too much trouble.
614
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:30,900
Don't necessarily think we're
going to bracket him.
615
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:38,000
Yeah I think at that point that
takes away some of what Mars and
616
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:43,600
and prize defense is about.
I think they're hoping they can
617
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:47,000
put enough pressure on Wolf to
where he can't deliver those
618
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,200
passes on time and in the right
location for Koontz to hurt us
619
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,400
too bad.
Yeah.
620
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,500
And for coons last year 73
reception 692 yards nine and a
621
00:36:57,508 --> 00:37:00,100
half percent.
Subsection with five touchdowns
622
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,100
and this really was his first
time playing a full season.
623
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:06,200
He only played into a couple
games at Penn State and 18 and
624
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:11,200
19 did not play any 20 so you
know he's obviously coming off a
625
00:37:11,207 --> 00:37:14,600
good year he's obviously got
some physical attributes but
626
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,500
luckily it's one of those weird
things luckily you say somebody
627
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:21,300
that knows him and that was in
the building with him for three
628
00:37:21,300 --> 00:37:24,400
years is now coaching on the
other side of the ball against
629
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,000
him.
So if there's anyone that
630
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,300
potentially knows what's gonna
be the best way to handle,
631
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,600
Ellen, I would put that trust in
print pry.
632
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,100
Alright?
So after cunts, probably their
633
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:37,600
next biggest weapon, is Ali
Jennings.
634
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:43,600
Wide receiver 6-foot 296 pounds,
a 3 star from Highland Springs.
635
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,100
High School that was never
offered by Virginia Tech when he
636
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:49,000
came out.
I will go ahead and make that
637
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,400
note.
He did own hair out.
638
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:59,300
Yeah, he did originally commit
to West Virginia back. 2019.
639
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:05,800
And he came to ODU from the
portal in 2021 where he kind of
640
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,200
had a breakout season and Brian.
I know you got to see some
641
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,400
really good things on his tape.
Yeah.
642
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,700
He's a very solid route, Runner.
He's got great quickness,
643
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:18,800
especially in the intermediate
passing game, he does have a
644
00:38:18,808 --> 00:38:22,700
drop every now and then nothing
to really write home about, but
645
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:26,700
they do happen, but he is good
with catches in traffic.
646
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,400
There's a lot of times where
he's Targeted over the middle up
647
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,800
the scene, where he can make
that tough tough catch.
648
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,100
Along the sideline, make a tough
catch, and he's really big run
649
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:39,300
after the catch guys.
So when he, when he gets the
650
00:38:39,300 --> 00:38:42,100
ball in his hands he can do some
some pretty filthy things down
651
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:47,300
the field, definitely an NFL
caliber type receiver in saying
652
00:38:47,300 --> 00:38:50,500
that we did not offer this kid
out of Highland Springs.
653
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:55,400
What the fuck are we thinking?
But we just talked about the
654
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,800
only two players on their team
that I think could Potentially
655
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:06,200
be starters for us.
All right, good do I think when
656
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,300
you've been kind of explaining
him to me, see, in some of his
657
00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:11,100
dad is from last year, looking
at a little bit of me, looking
658
00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:15,600
at highlight film, not looking
at tape, like you I can't I
659
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:20,300
think we're going to see early
with this game is with the new
660
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,500
you know, with the new stuff on
defense.
661
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:27,300
This is he's like a cocky guy if
you're telling me that we're
662
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:29,200
tackling them at the spot, he
catches the ball.
663
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:34,600
He's not able to get that right?
Then some of this stuff is going
664
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,100
to be very interesting and Levar
Cooper.
665
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,500
You know, here from Facebook
saying that he thinks they're
666
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:44,200
going to try to test our Corners
back going down field.
667
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,300
I think they might, but I also
think I don't think Brent prize
668
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:51,600
going to let them do that at
all.
669
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:55,100
I mean I think we're going to
see a lot of heavy blitzing.
670
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:58,300
I think I said I think they're
going to put the pressure on
671
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:02,100
Wolf to make a quick decision
early in the snap count and get
672
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:05,900
the ball out of his hands.
I don't know if this offense is
673
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:09,500
designed for that, they like the
Intermediate stuff.
674
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,200
Some of that takes a little time
to develop.
675
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:15,600
We're going to have
opportunities to get sacks.
676
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,600
We got to get home.
We got to finish it and we got
677
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,800
to make sure that we're moving
will fall off his spot where
678
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,200
He's either throwing off balance
or he's having a throw on the
679
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,000
Run.
Because that's not his bread and
680
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,300
butter.
He likes to sit back there in
681
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:33,500
the pocket and diagnose and
deliver.
682
00:40:34,300 --> 00:40:36,900
All right, so that's going to be
a key there and with Ali
683
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:39,400
Jennings last year.
I mean, he went over 1,000 yards
684
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:44,800
and 13 game. 62 receptionist
1066 over 17 yards of reception.
685
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,300
I think right there.
You see, the yet the rack and
686
00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:50,400
the Yad with only five
touchdown.
687
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,100
So again, I want to see how are
tackling, especially on the
688
00:40:53,107 --> 00:40:55,600
perimeter will definitely.
He will definitely be a
689
00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:00,000
challenge to our cornerbacks and
Our safeties along with the
690
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,200
other parts of the defense, all
right, Braun before we get into
691
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,400
their best player.
Give me just high level overview
692
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,200
of what you see from this
offensive line.
693
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:17,000
Their average, they're very
average and I'd say they're
694
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:21,900
they're decently balance, but
they are a little heavier on
695
00:41:21,900 --> 00:41:25,300
past Pro than on the Run.
They're not going to pull you
696
00:41:25,300 --> 00:41:27,000
away.
They do have a couple guys on
697
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,100
that line.
That do a pretty good job in the
698
00:41:31,100 --> 00:41:33,500
Run game.
One, we're about to talk about
699
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,600
here in a moment.
But They got behind the down and
700
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,700
distance a lot last year.
And a lot of the rushing yards,
701
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:47,900
they got were in some garbage
time situations last year, okay?
702
00:41:47,900 --> 00:41:52,200
So it'll be interesting to see,
you know what that looks like
703
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,500
this year, if that offensive
line has improved at all.
704
00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:59,900
But decent.
But nothing to write home about.
705
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,900
Got it in obviously, I think,
you know, we've been talking
706
00:42:02,900 --> 00:42:05,600
about probably the best player
who's getting some
707
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,600
all-conference accolade.
Preseason and Nick salivary.
708
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:13,300
The right tackle, 663 16 years
originally a 2 Star back in.
709
00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:15,800
2018 from Monroe, North
Carolina.
710
00:42:16,300 --> 00:42:18,200
Obviously he's getting all the
conference honors.
711
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,000
Is he their best offensive
lineman yet?
712
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,000
Farther away their best
offensive lineman?
713
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,500
Definitely the most balanced
offensive lineman in terms of
714
00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:28,300
what he can do in pass Pro.
And what he does in the running
715
00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:33,700
game, I tell you probably their
best run Blocker on the team,
716
00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:36,600
which you don't always see from
a right tackle position.
717
00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:41,800
Ian and his past Pro is is as
good as anybody else on that
718
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,600
team as well.
So good balance, he's not an
719
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,900
elite player but there's really
no weak area of his game that we
720
00:42:47,900 --> 00:42:51,800
can really attack consistently.
No, I haven't seen much on this.
721
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,400
But are they projecting him to
stay at right side?
722
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,600
I don't know for sure, I did not
see a scouting report that
723
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,700
showed that so I don't know if
he's switching over to the left
724
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:05,600
side.
Yeah, I'm all effort that real
725
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,700
quick while we take a look at
the next guy here.
726
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:09,500
And this is the last piece of
the offense.
727
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:12,400
We're going to look at here and
his name is Blake Watson.
728
00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:16,000
Laughs, if you from Halifax
County listening to this and
729
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,000
it's not a school, the guy named
League Watson lives in Roanoke.
730
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:25,900
Now Blake Watson 5-foot £995.
Originally recruited as a Wide
731
00:43:25,900 --> 00:43:29,900
receiver out of high school.
He was from Green.
732
00:43:29,900 --> 00:43:32,500
Hope down in Cary.
North Carolina was a two-star
733
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:36,800
back in 2018.
And, you know, Brian, I see the
734
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,700
stat line.
And, I mean, I hope one of our
735
00:43:38,700 --> 00:43:43,700
guys can do this to this year.
I mean, 1112 yards over five of
736
00:43:43,707 --> 00:43:48,100
carry eight, touchdowns that
much of an receiving game.
737
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:51,700
But I mean, still something.
What did, what did his tape show
738
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:55,200
and why didn't he jump out to
you as much as the other two?
739
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,200
Offensive guys did.
So the big thing is that he's
740
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:05,100
not quite the game breaker that
the other two are, you know, we
741
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,800
see a guy like Koontz.
He's really hard to match up
742
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,400
against.
He's the guy that can hurt you
743
00:44:11,408 --> 00:44:13,700
in the middle of the feel hurt
you in the red zone, you can see
744
00:44:13,700 --> 00:44:18,500
a guy like Ali Jennings that can
you take a quick route?
745
00:44:18,500 --> 00:44:22,700
Take it to the house, beat you,
that intermediate game, you
746
00:44:22,700 --> 00:44:25,200
know, Watson is kind of a bread
and butter he's used.
747
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:30,200
It's a stick mover.
He's got pretty good Vision but
748
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,100
you know you don't really see
him breaking off.
749
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:37,500
Huge runs consistently he does
have a burst when he gets to the
750
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:40,600
second level though.
So you got to make sure that
751
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,500
we're at him at the point of
attack, get him down before he
752
00:44:44,500 --> 00:44:48,000
breaks past that second level.
So you got to wrap up and get
753
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,100
him to the ground.
He'll bite you.
754
00:44:49,100 --> 00:44:55,200
But he's got that kind of one
cut style when cutting go so we
755
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,200
definitely need to make sure
when we get our hands on and we
756
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,600
get him to the ground but he's
not the game breaker type
757
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,200
player.
But he is a guy that will get 15
758
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,200
to 20 carries a game and
probably go for about 100 yards
759
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,300
on those makes sense with the
stat lines and everything.
760
00:45:10,300 --> 00:45:15,000
So again it's that key and I
hope the stuff that's been
761
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,700
biting Us in the ass.
Last few years where we have
762
00:45:17,700 --> 00:45:19,800
running backs dead to rights for
that.
763
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:25,200
Three or four yard Moss begins
to matriculate into Keeping into
764
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,700
three to four large losses
versus letting them.
765
00:45:27,700 --> 00:45:30,000
Break the tackle getting back to
the line of scrimmage and in
766
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,900
some cases getting positive
yards because I think for me as
767
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:38,600
a fan that is one of the most
frustrating things when, you
768
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,600
know, you can put a team in a
bad situation and you're just
769
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,200
letting it slip with piss-poor
fundamentals in the NFL
770
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:47,800
football.
Absolutely.
771
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,500
All right, Brian.
Let's just kind of take a
772
00:45:49,500 --> 00:45:51,400
high-level look now at the
offense.
773
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,800
Obviously, it's Ricky Ronnie's
offense.
774
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,100
The guy Georgia Tech came in,
yes.
775
00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:58,600
But they essentially, you can
say they're from the same type
776
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,600
tree.
Now, I think the offensive line
777
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,200
coach, you called, the Tulsa
game.
778
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,100
His name is slipping or you're
right now.
779
00:46:06,100 --> 00:46:10,000
I didn't document that is going
to be the play caller.
780
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,100
But you know what are we seeing
and what you expect to see
781
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:17,800
Friday night from the Saudi you
offense, In terms of
782
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,700
play-calling it's going to be
interesting, right?
783
00:46:20,700 --> 00:46:22,500
Because you got to get a brand
new play.
784
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:27,800
Caller brand new coordinator,
you know, three weeks before the
785
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:32,300
season starts ODU loses their
quarterbacks coach and offensive
786
00:46:32,300 --> 00:46:35,100
coordinator.
So for about a week looks like
787
00:46:35,100 --> 00:46:37,600
Ricky Ronnie was probably
pulling triple duty at practice.
788
00:46:37,700 --> 00:46:42,100
Oh yeah until they worked out
what that succession line was
789
00:46:42,100 --> 00:46:46,400
going to look like but I mean
this is that you know multiple
790
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,800
Smash Mouth spread RPO, if is
the emphasis that will go
791
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,800
multiple, but it's mostly going
to be Smash Mouth spread with
792
00:46:54,800 --> 00:47:00,300
RPO Concepts in there.
Like I've said with with the
793
00:47:00,300 --> 00:47:03,100
intermediate, that's their bread
and butter especially on early
794
00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:05,800
Downs.
When the defense isn't expecting
795
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:10,800
it, they leaned heavily on their
primary targets, Jennings Koontz
796
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:16,000
to get open early in the snap
wolf does do a good job of going
797
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,900
through his progressions but
usually when He does he's not
798
00:47:19,100 --> 00:47:21,800
that that's not going to be a
big yard yard get her that's
799
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,200
going to be something that helps
them.
800
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,000
Stay ahead of the sticks.
It's not something that we're
801
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,300
there.
He's going through second and
802
00:47:30,300 --> 00:47:33,200
third progressions and then
getting a 20 or 30 yard gain out
803
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,600
of it.
It's something where it's more
804
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,500
of a, he's good at all, right?
Where's my primary?
805
00:47:37,500 --> 00:47:39,100
Where's my secondary?
Where's my check down?
806
00:47:39,100 --> 00:47:44,300
He gets to a check down.
They get three or four yards and
807
00:47:44,300 --> 00:47:46,600
that if they're going to beat
you with those intermediate
808
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,700
plays, they're going to do it.
Early in the snap and they have
809
00:47:48,700 --> 00:47:50,900
to do that because of the the
limitations they have at
810
00:47:50,900 --> 00:47:53,200
quarterback in terms of
athleticism.
811
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,600
The other thing that in this is
going to be a theme when we get
812
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,500
to the defense as well,
penalties sacks drops, will kill
813
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:05,200
effective drives for this
offense routinely especially
814
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,400
when they're against kind of
evenly matched or better
815
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,200
competition which in this case
would qualify as that.
816
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,800
So you know, look for them to
kind of shoot themselves in a It
817
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,300
in the foot often, when they
start getting some of those
818
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,900
effective drives that end up
being Drive Killers.
819
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,400
Absolutely in y'all are going to
see as we get into the Hokies
820
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,700
Keys.
Later about this penalties when
821
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:32,500
I did the research.
It was like, Jesus Christ, what
822
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:35,600
an undisciplined team.
But before we get there, there's
823
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,100
teaser.
We're going to look at the
824
00:48:37,107 --> 00:48:40,300
defensive side of the ball.
Yeah, I've gotten better
825
00:48:40,300 --> 00:48:43,400
teachers over the years but
let's talk about guy.
826
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:47,300
The guy in the middle.
Ryan Henry, the linebacker.
827
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:54,100
Juuko 62, 225, 2019 3 star.
He went to a sa Juco.
828
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:57,500
He was originally from Miami
South Ridge and he actually was
829
00:48:57,500 --> 00:49:02,100
originally a safety product.
What do you see from Ryan Henry
830
00:49:02,100 --> 00:49:06,700
on the tape run?
He's kind of above average with
831
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:09,800
his coverage skills, but he's
not his great against the run.
832
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,700
But the big thing that helps him
out is that he is a shirt, a
833
00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:17,700
killer but they don't really use
him very much as a Blitzer or a
834
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:19,800
pass rusher.
He's primarily the guy that's
835
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:24,000
going to be back in coverage,
coming up when there's a run
836
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,900
making a play there, he's not
someone that they send and get a
837
00:49:27,908 --> 00:49:31,300
lot of tackles for loss sacks,
things of that nature.
838
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:36,000
He's not that type of disrupter.
So is essentially truly is
839
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,300
playing like a they are treating
him as a safety at linebacker
840
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:43,400
then versus converting to
linebacker where he obviously
841
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,500
has a bill to have the traits
but maybe hasn't picked up that
842
00:49:46,500 --> 00:49:50,500
middle portion of the game.
Dad maybe, I mean some of it is
843
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:54,200
scheme as well.
The way that deploy him is
844
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,700
definitely more on the, the
coverage Style.
845
00:49:59,300 --> 00:50:03,000
That's just what he does better
and I think they kind of leaned
846
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,200
on that.
Got it, got it.
847
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:07,500
All right.
Well, let's look at one of the
848
00:50:07,500 --> 00:50:11,200
guys on the back end here and
that's arterian Johnson.
849
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:16,900
The five 1196 pound safety.
Also, another Juco, he was from
850
00:50:17,100 --> 00:50:20,000
Gulf Coast Community College,
regionally grew up in Wiggins
851
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:26,400
Mississippi, what do you think?
Arterian in my opinion he's the
852
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,900
best player on their defense and
it's probably not that close.
853
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,300
The argument could be made for
the next guy.
854
00:50:33,300 --> 00:50:36,900
We're going to talk about but
Hot to me artery in Johnson's
855
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:40,600
the best player on that defense.
He cleans up a lot of their
856
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,500
inconsistencies both in the
passing game and the rushing
857
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:49,500
game just with his play, very
good tackler above average and
858
00:50:49,500 --> 00:50:51,800
coverage.
He's the guy that's getting
859
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,000
everybody where they need to be
in that secondary.
860
00:50:56,700 --> 00:51:00,400
And again, cerebral, he's
definitely The Head and
861
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,700
Shoulders Above the Rest of the
secondary, in my opinion.
862
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,500
Yeah, and his stat lines.
Um last year look, you know
863
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:08,300
really good.
I'm assuming he's probably more
864
00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:12,400
of a safety in the Box.
I mean 92 combined tackles he
865
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,100
had three and a half tackles for
loss, he had two picks Six
866
00:51:16,100 --> 00:51:19,200
Paths, deflections so, where did
you see him lined up?
867
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,400
As he playing more of a free
coming down or she playing more
868
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,500
you know that strong Rover type
position little more of the
869
00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:29,100
Rover.
He's definitely playing in the
870
00:51:29,100 --> 00:51:35,200
Box a little bit more and he's a
guy that again would On the
871
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,300
running back, come up and making
plays in the running game.
872
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:44,600
So like I said, overall I think
he's the guy that you want to
873
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,600
make sure your accounting for as
an offense.
874
00:51:50,100 --> 00:51:53,700
All right, let's take, let's
stay on the back and go outside
875
00:51:53,700 --> 00:51:55,300
a little bit more.
Let's take a look at Trey
876
00:51:55,300 --> 00:51:57,700
Hawkins.
The third cornerback
877
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,000
six-foot-three. 195 pounds of
Texas product down in Temple,
878
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,500
Texas.
Actually, another Juco attended
879
00:52:05,500 --> 00:52:08,600
Trinity Valley, think of you.
Here we go, is very familiar
880
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:13,200
with that and, you know, a guy
who played last year, seventy
881
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,700
seven, tackles five tackles for
loss, six pass deflections in a
882
00:52:16,707 --> 00:52:19,700
forced fumble soil, you know, a
really good staff.
883
00:52:19,900 --> 00:52:24,600
One last year and obviously that
body type, you know, is is he
884
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,700
playing outside, or is he
playing a little more hybrid
885
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,700
position for ODU?
Now he's playing outside.
886
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,300
Okay.
Yeah.
887
00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:37,800
And watching the tape, he was a
lot better covering the the
888
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,400
quick and intermediate stuff
than he was some of the deep
889
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:46,300
stuff he when he drives on a
route that's when he's at his
890
00:52:46,300 --> 00:52:51,100
best.
When he's having to turn and
891
00:52:51,100 --> 00:52:54,000
run, that's when you can
potentially get some stuff
892
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,900
behind him, he can get fooled
with a double move and be deep
893
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:02,300
because again, he likes to drive
on routes.
894
00:53:02,300 --> 00:53:06,200
He's gonna he's gonna bite on
those double moves from time to
895
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,100
time and get beat deep.
He has good quickness.
896
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,000
But only above average, top-end
speed.
897
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:17,300
He's not not an elite Speedster.
So, he really relies on that
898
00:53:17,300 --> 00:53:19,500
quickness.
In that ability to drive on a
899
00:53:19,508 --> 00:53:21,800
routes to really impact his
play.
900
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:26,200
Did they have any video of him
playing like a press coverage?
901
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,300
Or was he always playing all
four?
902
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,500
He would it would mix it up.
Okay.
903
00:53:31,500 --> 00:53:36,400
And he was decent impressed, but
again it's kind of that that
904
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,200
second phase that that he wasn't
as great at.
905
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,200
I always ask at because I see
you know, him being potentially
906
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,100
their best cornerback is who he
gets matched up against right?
907
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,600
And, you know, you think about
somebody like Dwayne or Jaden
908
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:56,400
probably little bit quicker, but
when I think of someone like
909
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,300
Caleb Smith Caleb will more
strong.
910
00:54:00,300 --> 00:54:02,800
Caleb does have a little
quickness, but he's one of those
911
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,900
guys.
A lot of players would not want
912
00:54:04,900 --> 00:54:08,600
to make a pretzel because Caleb
has that strength to essentially
913
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,000
shed the press and Caleb's got
enough speed to Get by you and
914
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,700
get down the field quickly.
So be very interesting to see
915
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:18,800
how and if they match up.
All right, let's flip it back
916
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:24,400
down to the defensive line.
I know you had some Choice words
917
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,500
about the defensive line in
general about, you know, it
918
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:30,600
essentially.
Kind of rough to look at.
919
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,000
But let's talk about that and
then Marques Haynes.
920
00:54:34,900 --> 00:54:38,100
One of the defensive ends at six
foot four, 240 from Bowie.
921
00:54:38,100 --> 00:54:41,900
Maryland, originally a two-star
went to Fork.
922
00:54:41,900 --> 00:54:47,600
Union back in 2017 is when he
came out, what does hangs look
923
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:48,400
like on?
Take.
924
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,600
Yeah, he's definitely their most
balanced player.
925
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,600
They usually, he's on an
opposite.
926
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,900
The they'll use a stand-up in
kind of like bar.
927
00:54:55,900 --> 00:54:59,400
No.
Did last year and one side On
928
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,300
the opposite.
He's got his hand in the dirt.
929
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,600
He's more of a true you know
defensive end from a technique
930
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,400
standpoint.
He's above average against the
931
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,300
Run, he's a decent pass rusher.
Nothing to really write home
932
00:55:12,300 --> 00:55:18,300
about on that front but it's
not, you know, a weakness, he'll
933
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:22,800
occasionally flash, a big Drive,
killing play with with some of
934
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,900
his penetration especially in
the Run game.
935
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:30,400
But it's more consistent of a
player in terms of his steady
936
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,400
production and he is kind of a
standout player that's making a
937
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:38,200
ton of those game.
Got it in last year.
938
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,300
He killed her was their leader
in Saxon five and a half.
939
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,000
So not a big number.
The team itself didn't have a
940
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,700
lot of sacks didn't have a lot
of turnovers.
941
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
So Brian, you've kind of already
mentioned it.
942
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,500
They have a stand-up in what
sort of Defense are they in?
943
00:55:53,500 --> 00:55:56,200
And what are some of the things
that we should see from them on
944
00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:00,600
Friday night?
Yeah, it's kind of similar to
945
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,100
what we saw last year for the
Hokies.
946
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:04,500
It's a 425, they got to stand up
in.
947
00:56:05,300 --> 00:56:08,200
They mix in a significant amount
of Zone with some man main
948
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:13,200
Concepts.
They don't Blitz a ton, they
949
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,500
will get aggressive on kind of
third and medium and third and
950
00:56:16,500 --> 00:56:20,700
long but then it's usually in
situations, it's not something
951
00:56:20,700 --> 00:56:22,900
where there you would call them
an aggressive defense.
952
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,300
But they do have good Pursuit
both in the Run game and
953
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,000
Intermediate passing game
getting to those guys making
954
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,600
plays after the catch.
They don't really get enough
955
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,100
pass rush.
I know I've already talked about
956
00:56:36,100 --> 00:56:39,400
that for some of the double
moves or slow developing routes,
957
00:56:39,900 --> 00:56:43,500
so that can be risky, when
opposing offenses, are good with
958
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:47,900
those type of Concepts.
They are super undisciplined and
959
00:56:47,900 --> 00:56:52,500
prone to hurting themselves with
penalties and miscues, this is a
960
00:56:52,500 --> 00:56:56,500
very undisciplined defense.
They will give you first downs.
961
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,500
They will give you first down.
Towns for stupid stuff.
962
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:01,800
They will give you first downs
for procedural, stuff.
963
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,400
They will give you first downs.
Because for whatever reason,
964
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,200
even in man coverage, a
cornerback will run with a tight
965
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:15,000
end, running a wheel instead of
sticking with the Z receiver,
966
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,100
like it's it shit like that.
Constantly, they shoot
967
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:23,000
themselves in the foot that
results in some big plays, and
968
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,800
you end up in a situation where
You know, you're playing for
969
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,600
behind a lot and they were
playing from behind a lot last
970
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,900
season, especially in the first
what, six to seven games of that
971
00:57:33,900 --> 00:57:35,700
year.
Very true.
972
00:57:35,900 --> 00:57:39,000
Now going through some of this
tape that any of the Marshall
973
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:44,500
tape come up on the defense, I
did not watch Marshall.
974
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,800
Okay, I had to ask, I know
you're having to pick and find
975
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,700
pieces of tape here and there
and some tapes not readily
976
00:57:51,700 --> 00:57:55,400
available to us.
So we move on and what will move
977
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,900
on to next?
Y'all is going to be the Hokies
978
00:57:57,900 --> 00:58:02,500
keys and what are the keys to
this game and we want to see
979
00:58:02,500 --> 00:58:06,000
though keys with a Big W what's
got to happen and I'm going to
980
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,200
start here, Brian with
turnovers.
981
00:58:08,300 --> 00:58:12,900
And when I look back last year
with ODU, In their wins and
982
00:58:12,908 --> 00:58:18,700
their six wins in 2021, their
turnover margin was plus two.
983
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,400
So any kind of went like this
and their wins.
984
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,100
So basically in two of the six
wins, they won the margin in
985
00:58:27,100 --> 00:58:31,500
one, they lost the margin.
Three were even and against
986
00:58:31,500 --> 00:58:35,600
these six reinstate only had one
team that was 500 or better than
987
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,300
that was Middle Tennessee,
State.
988
00:58:37,900 --> 00:58:41,400
And that game is one of the ones
they won the margin on and they
989
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:46,700
still only won that game by a
touchdown. 24:17.
990
00:58:47,100 --> 00:58:53,000
Okay, so even on their wins,
sloppiness is obvious on the
991
00:58:53,000 --> 00:59:00,200
offensive side of the ball.
You know, they beat a Hampton
992
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,900
team, they beat a couple three
winning teams and that fight.
993
00:59:03,100 --> 00:59:07,300
If I use a one win team last
year, so they got six wins last
994
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:09,400
year, but they were not even
close to Pretty Wings.
995
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:14,300
Now, when you talk about their
seven losses, they were negative
996
00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:19,400
10 in turnover margin.
Which is just shitty because
997
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,500
that's almost you're given the
other team, the ball one and a
998
00:59:22,508 --> 00:59:25,600
half times a game that show up
on the tape.
999
00:59:26,700 --> 00:59:30,300
Yeah a lot of it showed up on
the tape particularly when they
1000
00:59:30,300 --> 00:59:32,900
were playing Western Kentucky,
who got off to a pretty awful
1001
00:59:32,900 --> 00:59:36,700
start themselves last year in
that game?
1002
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:44,900
The first half was a comedy of
errors for that offense, against
1003
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,400
Western Kentucky, which did not
Have a very good defense.
1004
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:52,700
There was a turnover.
There was a bulb on the ground.
1005
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,100
There were just a lot of miscues
across the board.
1006
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,600
And that resulted in them
playing from behind
1007
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,400
significantly heading into
halftime.
1008
01:00:03,300 --> 01:00:06,600
You know, they came out with a
better plan but there was still
1009
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:11,300
another turnover in the second
half and they lost that margin.
1010
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,300
I think it was three to three to
one in favor Western Kentucky
1011
01:00:16,300 --> 01:00:20,800
and that game.
Yeah, so overall it's one of the
1012
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,400
big Keys If Hokies win the
turnover battle.
1013
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,400
This game's not even going to be
closer than what we're
1014
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,100
predicting if it's insane.
Like it was when they had those
1015
01:00:30,100 --> 01:00:35,800
32 ones or 32 nothing's last
year really, really ugly game.
1016
01:00:36,300 --> 01:00:39,000
Alright, another thing you've
mentioned it in both sides of
1017
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,000
the ball earlier.
It's about being undisciplined
1018
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,100
about making miscues and its
penalties.
1019
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:49,600
Last year out of 131 teams, they
were eight hundred and second in
1020
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,100
penalty yards last year.
That is bad.
1021
01:00:53,700 --> 01:00:57,500
They were a team when they were
at home, where most teams do not
1022
01:00:57,500 --> 01:01:01,300
have a higher penalty because
you're playing at home.
1023
01:01:01,300 --> 01:01:04,800
Usually get phone calls, usually
build more in a control.
1024
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,200
They averaged almost eight a
game at home last year and then
1025
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:16,300
their losses 78 yards of
penalties in the average for
1026
01:01:16,300 --> 01:01:21,400
each of their seven losses.
And even in the games they won,
1027
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,000
they still are averaging 60
yards.
1028
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,000
If this team steps on the field
Friday and you tell me they're
1029
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,600
going to give eight penalties
for 80 yards.
1030
01:01:32,300 --> 01:01:34,200
Regardless of what side of the
ball is all.
1031
01:01:34,300 --> 01:01:36,200
If you say, you split it right
down the middle, you're going to
1032
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,300
give us an extra 40 yards on
offense.
1033
01:01:39,100 --> 01:01:41,400
That's at least an extra two
scores in my opinion.
1034
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,200
And if you do it, 40 yards on
defense.
1035
01:01:43,900 --> 01:01:46,200
There's going to be a turnover
in there somewhere because
1036
01:01:46,300 --> 01:01:48,100
you're going to get dialed up
with a ton of pressure.
1037
01:01:50,700 --> 01:01:52,900
Yeah, I think you're right there
and I think that's, that's the
1038
01:01:52,900 --> 01:01:55,200
problem that they had last year.
We'll see.
1039
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,800
If that any of that has been
cleaned up heading into this
1040
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,600
season.
You know, they have the same
1041
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,900
coordinator on defense.
I don't know if that necessarily
1042
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:05,800
is speaking to their own
discipline, this or anything
1043
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:10,200
like that, but we'll see if that
is something that has been
1044
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:14,700
remedied since that point, but
they were as, as undisciplined
1045
01:02:14,700 --> 01:02:18,200
is any team, you will see last
year, especially on the
1046
01:02:18,207 --> 01:02:21,800
defensive side of the ball.
And I think those first two
1047
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,000
things.
The first thing is obviously
1048
01:02:24,100 --> 01:02:27,800
something the Hokies defense is
looking at the penalties are
1049
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,300
kind of all over the place,
right?
1050
01:02:29,300 --> 01:02:32,600
Offensive and defensive side, he
can affect both parts of the
1051
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:37,700
game, but when you see things
like that, my immediate thought
1052
01:02:37,700 --> 01:02:40,500
is even if you're keeping the
same player, or the same
1053
01:02:40,500 --> 01:02:42,200
coordinators to have the same
players.
1054
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:48,200
Normally, you do not see drastic
turnarounds in turnovers and, or
1055
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,800
penalties from one, you That
usually those are the very
1056
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:57,900
gradual you go from the turnover
margin being - 82.
1057
01:02:58,500 --> 01:03:02,700
Okay now we're - 3 now.
We're even now we're in the plus
1058
01:03:02,700 --> 01:03:06,700
territory, same with penalties.
You don't go from the just about
1059
01:03:06,700 --> 01:03:09,000
the bottom.
Two above middle of the pack in
1060
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,900
one season because a lot of
times the players you have or
1061
01:03:11,908 --> 01:03:14,400
the who you're returning and
it's a cultural thing.
1062
01:03:14,900 --> 01:03:19,200
So, those two I cannot see in
the last thing we've talked
1063
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:23,100
about with the Hokies, Skis.
Is there passing defense?
1064
01:03:23,700 --> 01:03:26,700
And I know you said to of their
better players are on the back
1065
01:03:26,700 --> 01:03:28,800
end, but you've mentioned all
night.
1066
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,200
You mentioned it up top, they
don't have the pass rush.
1067
01:03:33,500 --> 01:03:35,800
You can get double moves behind
them even though they have a
1068
01:03:35,808 --> 01:03:40,300
couple good players there
because of no pass rush, they
1069
01:03:40,300 --> 01:03:42,900
can't get that done.
And last year it showed, you
1070
01:03:42,900 --> 01:03:46,400
know, they gave up 264 yards a
game through the air.
1071
01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:52,300
You know, they basically only
forced Seven interceptions in 13
1072
01:03:52,300 --> 01:03:56,200
games in, if you look at the Sun
Belt last year, right?
1073
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,600
No Conference USA Labour
Conference USA, less relevant,
1074
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,700
USA Sunbelt this year.
Yep.
1075
01:04:01,500 --> 01:04:04,900
How many of those offensive run
some sort of high-level passing
1076
01:04:04,900 --> 01:04:09,400
game in to say you guys seven?
Yes I mean it takes in one of
1077
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,400
the most as oriented leagues in
a country.
1078
01:04:12,900 --> 01:04:16,800
I mean Western Kentucky will
only run just because you know
1079
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:18,800
just really want to do something
different.
1080
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,700
I think they had like 12 total
rushes in the game I watch.
1081
01:04:23,700 --> 01:04:28,200
So I mean they don't run but
they it's a lot of quick release
1082
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:33,900
stuff and you know, constantly
again shooting themselves in the
1083
01:04:33,900 --> 01:04:36,400
foot.
They don't do a good job getting
1084
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:41,400
after the quarterback.
And while they have one or two
1085
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:47,400
guys that are really good in
coverage the area's elsewhere,
1086
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:49,900
they struggle.
So it's kind of a mixed bag.
1087
01:04:50,100 --> 01:04:53,900
Secondary, you got some really
good players, some really high
1088
01:04:53,900 --> 01:04:55,900
level players.
And then the couple guys that
1089
01:04:55,900 --> 01:04:59,200
are not very high level, you mix
that with no pass rush.
1090
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,400
That's a recipe for disaster.
And when I say, no passwords,
1091
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:07,300
folks, 23, and a half sacks for
13 games last year, that's less
1092
01:05:07,300 --> 01:05:13,000
than two again.
So on top of that, very little
1093
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,300
picks, its why?
I looked at saying their past
1094
01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:17,500
defense is a key, why is it a
key?
1095
01:05:17,500 --> 01:05:20,800
We have a guy like Grant Wells,
who did play them, who did not
1096
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,300
play his best game against them
but after that game against
1097
01:05:24,300 --> 01:05:27,500
them, he cleaned up the rest of
the seasons and did not have any
1098
01:05:27,500 --> 01:05:29,600
more than two picks in any other
game.
1099
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:34,200
So, you know, I we calculate all
this.
1100
01:05:34,300 --> 01:05:39,300
We start looking at the Players,
we look at our players coaches
1101
01:05:39,300 --> 01:05:40,200
and stuff.
Like that.
1102
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:44,400
And you know, lo and behold it's
time to predict this game, Ron
1103
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:51,200
Yeah, and I'll lead off here,
you know, I think this is a
1104
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:56,300
statement game for the Brent pry
era and I think that the Hokies
1105
01:05:56,300 --> 01:06:02,800
are focused, they are ready to
prove some doubters wrong and I
1106
01:06:02,808 --> 01:06:05,400
think they come out there and
they handle business in Norfolk.
1107
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:13,900
I've got the Hokies winning 41
to 17 All right, I am exactly
1108
01:06:13,900 --> 01:06:17,500
with you, actually, when we,
when we, when we talked about
1109
01:06:17,500 --> 01:06:20,300
this yesterday, we were like
Promised Land.
1110
01:06:20,300 --> 01:06:22,000
Like, what's yours?
What's your score, Brian?
1111
01:06:22,300 --> 01:06:24,700
He's like, 4170.
I'm like, son of a bitch.
1112
01:06:25,300 --> 01:06:27,800
He looked at him, like, he's
like what?
1113
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:29,500
I'm like.
See exactly where I am.
1114
01:06:29,500 --> 01:06:34,100
I'm in 4117 vt4, a lot of the
reasons and I think a lot of
1115
01:06:34,100 --> 01:06:36,400
those reasons, are you say
statement game?
1116
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:39,800
And when you started talking
about Hayden wolf in those
1117
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,700
players, they've Two good
players that don't get me wrong.
1118
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,600
If they get the ball to them,
they're going to make a little
1119
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,600
noise.
But know, when a guy's is Statue
1120
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,700
Norwood, Brent prize going to
do, he's going to have to get
1121
01:06:51,700 --> 01:06:56,900
that ball released quicker than
he ever has in his in his tenure
1122
01:06:56,900 --> 01:07:00,300
as quarterback of.
I think that's a big piece and
1123
01:07:00,300 --> 01:07:04,700
also think the upside of having
the Grant Wells with us this
1124
01:07:04,700 --> 01:07:08,700
year, I guarantee you Tyler.
Bowling walked in that room.
1125
01:07:09,100 --> 01:07:13,100
Prep can just said Let's look at
it because they're really not
1126
01:07:13,100 --> 01:07:16,700
changing a lot about this game.
We've got some more weapons.
1127
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:18,800
We got a better offensive line
here.
1128
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,500
Wish, we had Malachi Thomas
because I think we would really
1129
01:07:21,500 --> 01:07:24,400
run it down their throat but I
think the defense is going to
1130
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,900
dictate this game a lot and I
think the defense is going to be
1131
01:07:27,900 --> 01:07:31,100
so dating it that we're going to
take some risks and I think
1132
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:35,000
we're going to hit on a few
risks early and I think as your
1133
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,400
hope hanging out over here in
the man cave Friday night, I
1134
01:07:37,408 --> 01:07:40,300
think for supporter take a
couple shots.
1135
01:07:42,100 --> 01:07:48,300
And wrap the game up at 4117.
Yeah, I mean, you talked about
1136
01:07:48,300 --> 01:07:52,400
what wells did against this
defense last year when he was
1137
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,900
playing with Marshall, wasn't
his best game in terms of his
1138
01:07:55,900 --> 01:07:58,900
interceptions but he had an
efficient night.
1139
01:07:59,100 --> 01:08:01,300
Yeah.
In terms of yardage and
1140
01:08:01,300 --> 01:08:04,500
completion percentage, he was
Thirty or forty six for 299.
1141
01:08:04,900 --> 01:08:06,800
He had two touchdowns, he threw
two picks.
1142
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,000
You'd like to see at least one
of those taken off the board
1143
01:08:10,100 --> 01:08:11,700
with 46 attempts.
Right?
1144
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:17,700
So, but, you know, one
interception in 4406 of Not bad
1145
01:08:17,700 --> 01:08:21,200
to, you know, especially
sometimes when they happen, not
1146
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,300
necessarily.
If they happen, it's kind of you
1147
01:08:23,300 --> 01:08:26,399
know, what kind of Shades one
game, you know, One Direction or
1148
01:08:26,399 --> 01:08:30,100
another, but he's sweaty slung,
the ball all over the field,
1149
01:08:30,300 --> 01:08:34,700
just they couldn't finish a lot
of drives last year, and that
1150
01:08:34,700 --> 01:08:39,200
was the big, the big difference
in that game being Marshal kind
1151
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,000
of walking away with it and
having to get a touchdown and
1152
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,600
over time to seal it.
Exactly.
1153
01:08:44,899 --> 01:08:50,500
So again, we both predict a Tech
wins, 4117, take take lady,
1154
01:08:50,500 --> 01:08:54,800
eight and a half because I think
with also with the turmoil,
1155
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:58,100
going down there with the brand
new offensive coordinator and
1156
01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:02,899
you know obviously Ricky Ronnie
knows Brent, prize defense and
1157
01:09:02,899 --> 01:09:06,800
is bad as we want to say we're
down we're not deep.
1158
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,800
There are some talented players
on that defense that will I
1159
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,500
think keep them under control.
All right, Brian.
1160
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,899
So let's go one more segment
here before you wrap up tonight
1161
01:09:17,899 --> 01:09:19,200
and is what we are going to
call.
1162
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,899
Big screeners.
As it's been discussed on this
1163
01:09:22,899 --> 01:09:27,100
program before I have a man cave
set-up with three TVs.
1164
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:33,300
If you have three TVs or less,
if you have less than three TVs,
1165
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,500
you're not doing it right in a
man cave because there's no way
1166
01:09:36,500 --> 01:09:39,600
you can actually pay attention.
There's no way you can have fun
1167
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,700
on college football, Saturdays.
Now, mr.
1168
01:09:43,700 --> 01:09:46,300
C glistens.
These purchases told and he is
1169
01:09:46,300 --> 01:09:50,000
currently sitting in his man
cave as I am sitting in mind.
1170
01:09:50,300 --> 01:09:55,200
He also As a three TV set up now
for Brian because Brian's a
1171
01:09:55,208 --> 01:09:59,200
little more texted me.
He has a couple of big screens
1172
01:09:59,300 --> 01:10:02,500
and then he streams one off of
his big monitors right there.
1173
01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:08,200
So we're calling a big screeners
because at some point, the games
1174
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:12,100
we discuss, right here, non-tech
games are sort of a big screen
1175
01:10:12,100 --> 01:10:14,700
games that are going to be on
the big screens.
1176
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:16,900
And Brian, I know you want me to
lead.
1177
01:10:16,900 --> 01:10:20,900
This actually tell everybody
what your setup is.
1178
01:10:21,100 --> 01:10:25,400
Just so they know.
All right, so right here, I've
1179
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:31,000
got a sixty five incher.
Yeah, TCL is getting the Roku
1180
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:36,300
and it I've got another 40 inch
Roku above me here, that can
1181
01:10:36,300 --> 01:10:40,200
rotate from either straight
above me or to a little caddy
1182
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,500
position.
Next to the big, big one here
1183
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:48,900
and then I've got a 32-inch,
ultrawide monitor that I am
1184
01:10:48,900 --> 01:10:51,100
currently looking at you guys
on.
1185
01:10:51,100 --> 01:10:56,400
So, And and battle.
That's my third screen, Curtis.
1186
01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:00,300
Let them know what you got.
Well, I'm sitting here with a 60
1187
01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:04,500
inch and then 232 is above.
And I am going to say this
1188
01:11:04,700 --> 01:11:08,100
Brian's little swivel monitor.
I know, I inspired that because
1189
01:11:08,100 --> 01:11:11,300
both of the 32 inches in the man
cave, our own swivels.
1190
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:16,700
So if I'm ever eating at the, at
the bar table back here and I
1191
01:11:16,708 --> 01:11:18,100
want to pay attention to that
game.
1192
01:11:18,100 --> 01:11:21,800
I just slightly swivel, it over
here or during the season.
1193
01:11:22,500 --> 01:11:25,600
And when we get that Maxon in
those Sunbelt games on Tuesday
1194
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,600
nights that TV right there will
be swiveled right here directly.
1195
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:34,800
So I do not miss Now when it
comes to the big screeners,
1196
01:11:34,900 --> 01:11:36,700
what's the game that I'm looking
at?
1197
01:11:36,700 --> 01:11:39,300
In kind of looking at this?
From a betting line, we used to
1198
01:11:39,300 --> 01:11:42,400
do picks last year when you're
only doing one episode a week,
1199
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,000
you got to cut time because next
week, at this time, we're
1200
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,000
recapping ODU and then prepping
from BC.
1201
01:11:48,500 --> 01:11:50,800
So, what my big screen or game
this year?
1202
01:11:50,900 --> 01:11:54,000
Or this week is, I'm looking at
the Georgia.
1203
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,200
Oregon game down in Atlanta,
Chick-fil-A kickoff, 3:30,
1204
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,800
Saturday afternoon.
And George is coming off a
1205
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:05,100
massive National Championship
with, you know, it really was
1206
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,800
with, you know, unbelievable
sort of turn back.
1207
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:13,300
The clock clock style defense,
which a shit ton of those guys
1208
01:12:13,300 --> 01:12:17,400
went to the NFL and I know it's
more than any team ever more
1209
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:25,000
than any team.
In some of those guys played
1210
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,900
last year.
But I also know on the offensive
1211
01:12:27,900 --> 01:12:32,200
side of the ball Stetson Bennett
isn't exactly a fighter pilot
1212
01:12:32,300 --> 01:12:35,000
quarterback.
He is a bus driver in last year
1213
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,600
with guys like George Pickens
and James Cook.
1214
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,700
It was easier for the bus driver
to look like a home.
1215
01:12:42,700 --> 01:12:45,200
Run to look like a fighter
power, to be honest.
1216
01:12:45,900 --> 01:12:49,400
When I look at this game, organ
has a good offensive line, Dan
1217
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,900
Landing, you Georgia defensive
coordinators back out, his went
1218
01:12:52,900 --> 01:12:54,800
out there to be a coach.
They have a good number of
1219
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,200
returning starters.
It, when I originally saw this
1220
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:01,200
game, I'm like, my expectation
is, I think Georgia probably is
1221
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,500
going to win the game, probably
by somewhere between eight and
1222
01:13:03,500 --> 01:13:07,900
ten points when this line came
open at 17 and a half.
1223
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:14,500
I just could, I'm trying to
figure out, is, is Vegas?
1224
01:13:14,500 --> 01:13:16,700
Looking at how many people left?
Yes, I know they're playing in
1225
01:13:16,700 --> 01:13:21,500
Atlanta and it's going to be a
T20 Georgia fans, but 17 and a
1226
01:13:21,508 --> 01:13:24,900
half to lay on a 10-1 team.
Last year, that has a good
1227
01:13:24,900 --> 01:13:28,400
offensive line when the Georgia
defense, lost, its best players
1228
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,400
on the offensive line and the
second level.
1229
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,100
I can't see that.
Georgia May win the game but
1230
01:13:35,100 --> 01:13:39,400
giving organ and give me the 17
and a half points because that's
1231
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,400
way too much to lay against a
good team.
1232
01:13:43,100 --> 01:13:45,400
Yeah.
The 17 and a half line is where
1233
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,100
I'm question.
If you were saying, I think if
1234
01:13:48,100 --> 01:13:51,200
you if this a moneyline question
you pick Georgia.
1235
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:55,300
Yes.
When you got that big of a line
1236
01:13:55,300 --> 01:13:58,600
17 and half is just too much.
I know there's a lot of
1237
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,900
differences with that Oregon
team coming in obviously their
1238
01:14:03,900 --> 01:14:10,400
head coach is now down there in
in Miami but this is still a
1239
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:15,400
solid Talent.
Roster that is still coming in
1240
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,800
there.
I don't think it's going to be a
1241
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,500
runaway for Georgia for the
reasons you mentioned.
1242
01:14:20,500 --> 01:14:23,400
The loss of town.
I think they definitely reload.
1243
01:14:23,500 --> 01:14:26,500
I don't think we see a
significant drop off but we'll
1244
01:14:26,500 --> 01:14:31,200
see enough of a drop-off
especially week one for them to
1245
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:35,500
not be able to, you know, blow
the doors, blow the doors off of
1246
01:14:35,500 --> 01:14:39,300
a very solid organ.
Team, that's my big Stringer.
1247
01:14:39,300 --> 01:14:43,600
What's your big screen?
You know, I kind of This around
1248
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:50,100
a couple different ways but
ultimately landed on Utah, going
1249
01:14:50,100 --> 01:14:53,100
to the swamp and facing the
Gators.
1250
01:14:54,100 --> 01:14:58,800
I was I was leaning towards the
Backyard Brawl, it's on a
1251
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:03,600
Thursday night, it's two, it's
two teams we play, it is two
1252
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:08,100
teams we play, but I don't think
that is Marquise enough of a
1253
01:15:08,100 --> 01:15:13,500
matchup in the big picture for
it to Be a big screener.
1254
01:15:14,300 --> 01:15:16,900
Obviously, since they're on
different nights technically,
1255
01:15:16,900 --> 01:15:20,600
they're both going to be big
screeners but if I had to pick
1256
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,400
between the two, I would put
Utah and Florida on there.
1257
01:15:23,900 --> 01:15:30,900
And when I look at this game,
you know, Utah is the the road
1258
01:15:30,900 --> 01:15:38,200
favorite and it's minus 3.
I'm going to, I'm going to still
1259
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:42,800
tell you Tha here.
I think Utah is probably the To
1260
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:46,600
come out of the Pac-12.
I think they are based on their
1261
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:49,500
record if they can get past this
matchup that you're going to be
1262
01:15:49,500 --> 01:15:52,100
a favorite team to make the
college football playoff.
1263
01:15:53,300 --> 01:15:58,900
So I like Utah here.
I think it's probably still a
1264
01:15:58,900 --> 01:16:02,700
high one score low to score game
but I think they're going at
1265
01:16:02,700 --> 01:16:06,900
least cover that three.
Yeah, I'm kind of with you on
1266
01:16:06,900 --> 01:16:12,600
that Utah returns a ton on just
it for the team in general.
1267
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,200
And obviously the last thing we
can remember from them last
1268
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,400
year's they kind of had a bitter
taste in her mouth losing that
1269
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:20,400
game to Ohio State in the Rose
Bowl, right?
1270
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:24,500
All Spy field gold and basically
Secondary was absolutely
1271
01:16:24,500 --> 01:16:26,500
decimated.
Yep.
1272
01:16:27,100 --> 01:16:29,300
And they were having running
back to play quarterback and
1273
01:16:29,300 --> 01:16:31,200
safety.
That's when you're in real
1274
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:35,000
Prospect early, planting like
Ohio, State and the other piece
1275
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,500
is we don't know what Florida is
yet under billing date.
1276
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:41,900
It's very early in the process.
We've seen that team,
1277
01:16:41,900 --> 01:16:43,600
underperformed the last few
years.
1278
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,800
So to say, you have to open and
now luckily, it is in the swamp.
1279
01:16:49,300 --> 01:16:53,300
to me, if I'm looking at this
game and I'm looking through I'm
1280
01:16:53,300 --> 01:16:57,400
sort of looking through Vegas
eyes to say you're giving three
1281
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,300
points on the home, will every
home team?
1282
01:17:00,300 --> 01:17:03,100
Should always get three points,
right?
1283
01:17:03,700 --> 01:17:06,900
So they're basically the and the
swamp is probably probably good
1284
01:17:06,900 --> 01:17:08,000
for five.
Yeah.
1285
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:12,600
So basically, you know, they are
really, really saying Utah's.
1286
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:19,100
Gonna win this game by more and,
you know, or we shocked at
1287
01:17:19,100 --> 01:17:21,500
Florida plays out of the 90
Napier's, a good coach and got
1288
01:17:21,500 --> 01:17:25,500
talent, but One of those things
where Kyle willingham's defense
1289
01:17:25,500 --> 01:17:28,300
to, I think everybody's talking
about the quarterback down in
1290
01:17:28,300 --> 01:17:33,600
Florida, making some noise and
it's like you're you're going to
1291
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,500
go against.
Yeah, they're going to be saying
1292
01:17:35,500 --> 01:17:38,000
it's the Pac-12 defense.
If you see the way pack
1293
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,600
Willingham coaches, his defense
is they hit hard.
1294
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:45,500
They don't play like a Pac-12
peanuts, they don't Implement
1295
01:17:45,500 --> 01:17:47,200
me, they play more like an SEC
team.
1296
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,600
That's so, you know, I'm kind of
with you.
1297
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,100
It's gonna be interesting
watching those games but it It's
1298
01:17:53,100 --> 01:17:55,700
all weekend in general, man.
I mean Thursday night, you
1299
01:17:55,700 --> 01:18:00,500
mentioned backyard, brawls and
kick it 7, sneaky sneaky Purdue
1300
01:18:00,500 --> 01:18:04,300
Penn State.
Penn State first game without
1301
01:18:04,300 --> 01:18:08,300
Brent prai has to go to Jeff
brohm in that offense.
1302
01:18:08,300 --> 01:18:12,100
I mean they can easily come out
011.
1303
01:18:12,700 --> 01:18:13,800
Yeah.
Blinky.
1304
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:20,600
And then, you know, get into
Saturday Arkansas, Cincinnati.
1305
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,100
And then the other game that we
didn't put on a big screen or a
1306
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:27,500
because I can't figure that game
out.
1307
01:18:27,700 --> 01:18:30,700
Ohio State Notre Dame on
Saturday night.
1308
01:18:30,700 --> 01:18:34,500
I can't sleep because it's
another big line and it's kind
1309
01:18:34,500 --> 01:18:39,000
of like, well, you know how the
state is a high-powered offense,
1310
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,100
it's in the shoe, it's unlike
game.
1311
01:18:42,100 --> 01:18:45,900
It's also a good matchups, LSU
FSU, Sunday night.
1312
01:18:45,900 --> 01:18:48,600
I mean, it's here we get five
straight days of college
1313
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,800
football, man.
And I'll say this about the
1314
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,800
Notre Dame, Ohio State game in
the reason.
1315
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:58,200
I didn't call that my big
screener is because Ohio,
1316
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:01,500
State's the heavy favorite in
Ohio State could still lose that
1317
01:19:01,500 --> 01:19:04,400
game and still make the college
football playoff.
1318
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:09,400
Whereas, you look at Utah who is
a kind of Dark Horse favorite to
1319
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,300
make the college football.
Playoff if a Who's the Florida,
1320
01:19:12,300 --> 01:19:16,300
especially if they lose badly to
Florida there out there out so
1321
01:19:16,300 --> 01:19:17,800
that that's kind of the
difference there.
1322
01:19:18,300 --> 01:19:21,700
I get that 110%.
All right, Braun.
1323
01:19:21,700 --> 01:19:23,500
I know there's some things
breaking.
1324
01:19:24,100 --> 01:19:26,800
I'm not going to discuss them
because I'd eat you read into
1325
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:31,500
that more Jacob, uh, shout-out.
I see your message.
1326
01:19:31,500 --> 01:19:36,000
We're not putting it up there a
because if it's in 24/7, it
1327
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,400
could be behind a pay wall.
We also don't know if it's going
1328
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:41,000
to impact anything, we don't
really know.
1329
01:19:41,500 --> 01:19:43,600
Don't know what it is.
We're going to have to go
1330
01:19:43,900 --> 01:19:46,900
literally read this and talk
about this after we go off in
1331
01:19:46,900 --> 01:19:49,300
just a second here.
But if nothing else is breaking
1332
01:19:49,300 --> 01:19:53,300
