This week we welcome Virginia Tech Offensive Line Coach Joe Rudolph to discuss how his group is coming together and what is needed to improve the Hokies running game. We then recap the every phase disaster that was the Hokies trip down to Chapel Hill last Saturday that resulted in a blowout loss to the Tar Heels. Lastly we then turn our eyes to Pittsburgh as the Hokies face a well-rounded but less explosive Pitt Panthers team on Saturday.
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:50,100
Welcome back to Z boundary
Corner podcast with my partner.
2
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:54,500
Brian siglo, I'm Curtis Wilson.
Brian, you surprised me a couple
3
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:57,400
minutes ago, big guy.
Yeah buddy.
4
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,300
I as you all know everybody out
there, this is a offensive
5
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:07,600
lineman podcast unofficially.
So what better way to kind of,
6
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:12,000
you know, bring that home then
to have the Hokies offensive
7
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,800
line coach, Joe Rudolph on.
Us.
8
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,100
And we're not going to hesitate
really going, bring him on.
9
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,500
Hey coach.
How you doing tonight?
10
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,100
Doing great Brian.
Curtis how you doing?
11
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,600
We're doing, we're doing good
coach Rudolfo.
12
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:29,500
It's a pleasure to have you.
We thought we weren't going to
13
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:31,300
have you this week.
We hadn't heard back from
14
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:36,900
Travis, but I mean, it was a, it
was an absolute a pleasant
15
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:38,900
surprise.
When I clicked on the button
16
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:41,900
about 10 minutes ago, and
there's Brian and Coach Rudolph,
17
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,500
and I'm like, oh shit.
It's gonna trip.
18
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,900
How you doing this evening,
obviously.
19
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:52,400
I see, Dwayne Brown over your
left shoulder.
20
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,100
They're shy, man.
I'm assuming you're at the
21
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,500
merryman still, and no question
that that time of year is just
22
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,700
kind of grinding.
Trying to put everything we can
23
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:05,300
together to be at her.
Best, we appreciate you taking
24
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:09,000
out your time tonight to speak
with us and to speak here with
25
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,600
Hokie nation.
And you know what, we'll try to
26
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,200
make it short and quick so you
can get back to doing what you
27
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,200
do.
So I let Brian lead off with
28
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,400
this one because I'm obviously
We big man here playing no line
29
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,600
in college.
I know this is a treat for you
30
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,400
Brian?
Absolutely.
31
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,400
Absolutely.
And let's start there because my
32
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,900
offensive line coach in college
was actually, Keith goon conlon
33
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,100
played at Penn State in the
early 90s under Joe.
34
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:39,300
Paw I know you were about the
same time frame, they're
35
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:42,000
Wisconsin.
What was it like playing during
36
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,200
that era?
I think it was a had a blast
37
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,600
playing the game.
I mean I played my first year at
38
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,600
linebacker and then I think they
well I didn't I don't think they
39
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,700
told me that my summer goal was
to come back is the biggest
40
00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:00,900
linebacker in the Big Ten.
So I thought I might be moving
41
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:06,900
positions and I just embraced it
and I loved it man, and I love
42
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:09,800
knocking the snot out of
linebackers because I wasn't
43
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,100
playing anymore.
And so it was it was a position.
44
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:15,500
It'd be great on a great
offensive line coach Bill
45
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:18,200
Callahan and it's just a great
time to play.
46
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,500
I played with an awesome group
of guys.
47
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,800
Still friends to this day and
and something about somebody
48
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,000
being an offensive lineman and
being part of a line.
49
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
That's pretty special in the
pretty special game.
50
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:31,900
Yeah, let's talk about that a
little bit as far as the
51
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:35,300
relationship because I know we
had we actually had Keith on
52
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:40,800
back during the offseason.
Just after coach Pride, been
53
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:43,600
hired by the Hokies before.
I think you would come on at
54
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,300
that point and he kind of talked
about obviously being a Penn
55
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:49,900
State guy.
He's a radio guy up there and in
56
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:53,200
Happy Valley now so had a lot of
interactions with Coach Frey.
57
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,000
What was that relationship and
what was kind of the the dynamic
58
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,700
that brought you to Blacksburg?
Well It was a number of things
59
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:05,100
that kind of just kind of fell
into place 11.
60
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:09,900
Being the people people that I
knew through recruiting.
61
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,600
They would always talk about
Coach prying talk about what a
62
00:04:12,608 --> 00:04:14,900
great person.
He is because recruiting goes
63
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:17,700
both ways sometimes, right?
Sometimes sometimes you work
64
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:21,800
your tail off and and young man
in family, feels like you're the
65
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,600
best place for him and sometimes
it's another place and but if
66
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,600
they'll tell you how much they
respect that person afterwards
67
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:31,000
and then you kind of Get a
little glimpse into who they
68
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,400
really are, you know, even when
circumstances, know maybe follow
69
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,700
their way and then just
competing against them.
70
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:39,900
I always loved the way.
Is this guys competed?
71
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:43,000
I thought they were, I thought
they understood that they were
72
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,400
sound, I thought they understood
not only assignment, but they
73
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,800
played together and he played
with a competitive mindset and
74
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,100
then Blacksburg I came here once
when I was coaching a pet and
75
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:55,800
I'll never forget it, it was, it
was so loud.
76
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,100
You couldn't hear yourself think
on the sidelines and it was
77
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:01,100
unlike man.
People love it.
78
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,400
I mean, they love this place and
these kids that were playing in
79
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,300
front of them.
You could just feel the energy
80
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:10,000
here and, you know, it was
always a place that kind of kind
81
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,800
of stuck with me and, and just
saw has been awesome.
82
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,100
They're very grateful for the
opportunity to be here, and I'm
83
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:19,400
having a blast.
Well, we're grateful.
84
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,200
You're here coach, and it's
funny.
85
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,200
I hear the name Bill Callahan
and, and I'm Corley.
86
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,800
That's the same Bill Callahan
that's been in the NFL the last
87
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,500
20 years, right?
Yeah, bug.
88
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,900
Bill is our offensive line
coach, and we're always constant
89
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:36,800
and great.
Coach great technician, you
90
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,200
know, just just a great guy to
go to learn under and you don't
91
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,100
know.
You not only learned how to play
92
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:45,200
the game but you learn how to
become a line, you learned all
93
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,900
the steps that it takes.
And and that's, that's always
94
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:50,400
stuck with me.
Yeah.
95
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,200
And it is, it is something, you
know, we've heard coach Pride
96
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,800
mention, you're talking about
the gelling, but let's ask this
97
00:05:56,900 --> 00:06:01,200
will schematic here, we're going
the old If we ran a primary Zone
98
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,300
base skiing and now with yours,
this is Brian telling me.
99
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:08,300
So if it's wrong, tell him he's
wrong, running a little bit more
100
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:11,900
Gap will bit more power scheme,
what are the challenges when you
101
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:14,700
have to make a change like that?
And I know you've been doing
102
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:17,900
this for, you know, close to 15
years, is no line coach.
103
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,800
What are the challenges in
changing?
104
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,800
And you went, you went from
Wisconsin pit.
105
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,100
Back to Wisconsin now here.
So, this is the fourth time, you
106
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:28,000
third time, you've done it.
What are those challenges?
107
00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:31,800
I think there's always
challenges when you, when you
108
00:06:31,808 --> 00:06:35,300
come in a new, you know, there's
there's challenges not only from
109
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:39,100
schematics but there's there's
challenges with relationships or
110
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:41,600
Charlotte's challenges with
normally relationships.
111
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,000
You have with the guys, but the
guys have with each other.
112
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,200
And I think it's, I think
they're just steps that you have
113
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,600
to go through and take and, you
know, I think in doing it.
114
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,500
The one thing you got to be, is
you got to be honest and you got
115
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,800
to be consistent, you know, like
if something's good your most
116
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,500
say it's good.
If it isn't that you're going to
117
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:01,900
work on it to close the gap, to
get it that way.
118
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:04,900
And when I look at schematics
because I know that was part of
119
00:07:04,907 --> 00:07:09,200
the question, the thing I always
look at it, you know, you you
120
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,800
watch and you judge each play
and you say, okay if we do
121
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,100
everything that we need to do,
can this truly be successful or
122
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:21,900
not successful and and then you
kind of you kind of map out you
123
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:25,500
want to get rid of all those
plays that that, you know,
124
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,300
you're going to struggle with
regardless, if the guys are on
125
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,600
Q, you want it, you want to
eliminate them in every way,
126
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,300
shape or form.
How do you do it?
127
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,400
Well, maybe it's not the
formation.
128
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,800
The run that out of maybe it's
maybe it doesn't fit your guys,
129
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,500
you know?
And then that's that's part of
130
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:43,100
what you go through.
When you're, when you're coming
131
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:45,900
into that group, you want to,
you want to find something, you
132
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:49,600
can really hang your hat on, but
yet it's a battle to get there.
133
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:53,800
Yeah, and I think, you know,
what you talk about is kind of
134
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,000
finding that that bread and
butter that you're working with.
135
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,200
And I know, you know, you've
been Talking about some of the,
136
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,100
the line hasn't fully gelled yet
and you kind of waiting to see
137
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:07,000
see that happen, you know, and
we've seen some uneven results
138
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,500
so far.
What are the steps that are
139
00:08:08,508 --> 00:08:10,900
still needed?
You feel to kind of get this
140
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:14,500
where you feel comfortable from
a running game perspective?
141
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:18,500
Well it's like it's like you say
the running game it's kind of
142
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:25,600
like running game protections.
They it's it's 11 guys playing
143
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:30,000
you know and and There are times
where you were, you feel like
144
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,700
something's may be blocked up
great, but maybe the timing from
145
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:36,700
the from the backfill to the
line of scrimmage, isn't what
146
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:40,500
you want, then sometimes, boy,
all those things are set up and
147
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:45,600
man, you needed that one last
fit by by a tight end or a, or a
148
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,200
wide receiver.
And then you know, sometimes
149
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,200
you're like, man, we you know,
we got to get our feet across
150
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,200
the line of scrimmage is a no
lineman in order to give this
151
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,000
guy a chance to get the ball
down, so we can make his cuts on
152
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,300
those sides of the line of
scrimmage.
153
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,500
So it's really all those things
coming together and when those
154
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:06,600
things come together, it's
beautiful, its consistency.
155
00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:09,000
And that's that's what you fight
for it.
156
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:12,500
It's not about what you can do.
Well, it's about what you can
157
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:16,200
do, well consistently.
And, and that's, that's the
158
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,700
grind your in, man.
That's, that's a grind day in
159
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:21,300
and day out, week in and week
out.
160
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:23,300
And that's the grind we're in
the season.
161
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:27,400
So, I do feel like we keep
closing the gap on that, but we,
162
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:31,100
it's our A fight right now and
it's a colon, like these kids
163
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:33,300
work.
I like who they are.
164
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:37,400
I like, who they are, and how
they take care of each other off
165
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,500
the field.
Like they, they care about this
166
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:41,300
place and they care about each
other.
167
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:45,000
And then working my tail off to
try to help them to be at their
168
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000
best in the moment.
And and, you know, I like that
169
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,800
about them.
I am grateful for working with
170
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,400
of my I do.
I enjoy him and I think we'll
171
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,300
continue to close the gap on
those things.
172
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:58,200
All right.
I know you can't pee.
173
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,700
A favor to you, but of the of
your starting five right now.
174
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:06,000
When you first got the campus
who was the one that sort of
175
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,700
jumped on paper, as you know,
that's my leader.
176
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,400
That's the guy that's going to
hold this group together and
177
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,400
help us make those strides and
you've got the job.
178
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,200
Yeah, it's interesting.
You ask that because you know
179
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,200
the thing I've probably got told
more than anything was.
180
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:25,700
Most of the guys that had done a
lot were going to be here
181
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:31,600
anymore and and yet There were a
lot of guys that, you know, one
182
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,100
way shape or form had
experienced, you know, like they
183
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:38,500
had plays a little bit of all
and, you know, I was intrigued
184
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:42,700
about Silas, you know, and
seeing him and meeting him.
185
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:47,200
And then kind of, you know,
thinking like, can we put this
186
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,700
all together with him and and
then, and then, you know, Johnny
187
00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:55,500
Jordan, you know, as a, as a guy
that is added benefit multiple
188
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:58,200
places.
And, and, you know, his his
189
00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:01,700
Don't let these like Chinese to
be Johnny.
190
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:07,100
Will turn 32?
You do You Know The Enemy?
191
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,500
You know, you got Parker and
Caden and plays a lot about.
192
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:12,700
So, you know, in, you know, I
knew I was going to have some
193
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:17,500
leadership talking to Silas like
I could feel that and I knew and
194
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:21,100
I and he just he wanted to be
that for the group and and
195
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:24,400
Johnny, you know, he's our
Communicator upfront, and the
196
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,100
guys trust them and he knows
things inside now and he puts
197
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:29,000
any extra work to make sure Sure
he does.
198
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,800
And, and, you know and you know,
I knew I would have some
199
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,400
leadership out of those guys and
I have Awesome.
200
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,800
Awesome.
Yeah, and that's kind of the two
201
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400
I think we had kind of keyed in
on before the start of the
202
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,000
season.
So I'm glad that that's kind of
203
00:11:44,008 --> 00:11:46,400
how it worked out there and
behind the scenes.
204
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,700
And you talked about Johnny with
communication, I know that
205
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:53,400
Communications such a big and
important part of playing
206
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,000
offensive line and being able to
do those things as a unit.
207
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,800
How is that come from so far?
A kind of across the board with
208
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,300
Johnny, kind of leading the way
there.
209
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:05,800
I think it's been, I think it's
been pretty darn good.
210
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,700
You know it.
Hasn't been things where, where
211
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:11,500
you've been off from the
standpoint of a sign mobilize, I
212
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:16,200
think, you know, every once in a
while, you know, you yet your
213
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,000
Technique will show up being
off.
214
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,800
And how does your Technique show
up being off?
215
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,500
I, I tell the guys, it starts
with her eyes, right?
216
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:26,800
If your eyes, you're in the
wrong place, it doesn't matter
217
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:30,500
whether what the rest of you is
doing your kind of subject to
218
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:34,100
having problems, so that I
discipline is huge.
219
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:37,500
And, you know, sometimes we get
the right, Call, we got all that
220
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:40,500
but we let her eyes kind of
Wonder and then and then you can
221
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:44,100
create issues not only for you
but for for your guy next to
222
00:12:44,108 --> 00:12:45,600
you, if your eyes need to be
there.
223
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,800
But I think the communication
from Johnny's been really good.
224
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,700
I think the guys get it,
sometimes you get a looker too
225
00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:55,800
that, you know, you might hope
the deal a little bit more
226
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,600
confident with, but, but you're
learning and, and, and it's not
227
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,000
that nobody wants to do it, you
just got to keep closing the gap
228
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,400
of being doing it in the moment
and taking being able to do it.
229
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,800
To being able to do it
consistently.
230
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,500
All right.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna go
231
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:12,900
something coach prize said a
couple times and I'm sure you're
232
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:14,700
seeing it.
When he talks about guys,
233
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:18,600
pressing is that the thing with
the eyes is that what you feel?
234
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:23,200
Or is it even, or is it even
more where when guys press run
235
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:25,700
Brian's mentioned it to me, when
he played there were times he
236
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:27,800
pressed and he'd lose his
technique.
237
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:33,600
Is how do you coach the guys to
say listen, you gotta trust what
238
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,500
you're doing.
Trust your eyes, trust your
239
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:36,900
legs.
And don't Press it.
240
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:42,000
How tough is that the coach with
your first year with the group?
241
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:45,300
Yeah, no, I check.
When you say that because those
242
00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:48,100
are the exact words I say out of
my mouth, a lot of trust in your
243
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:51,700
eyes, but coach cry.
You know, the one thing about
244
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:56,300
him is when, when he speaks to
that group, I always think he
245
00:13:56,300 --> 00:14:00,300
puts his thumb right on the
heart of what needs to be said.
246
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:05,900
And, and I've really enjoyed
that, you know, it, you know,
247
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:09,000
when someone I mean exactly what
you're thinking and you're like,
248
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,200
man, that needs to be said right
there.
249
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,800
And so I know these kids are
hanging on every word with that
250
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,600
because he's, he's right in the
moment with them.
251
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:23,200
When I think you're pressing I
think you're playing the game
252
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,700
thinking about yourself.
You're thinking about, not
253
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:32,500
messing up your thinking about,
you know, am I going to do this,
254
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:34,900
right?
And when you flip, the script
255
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:38,300
is, when you play the game, The
guys around you, when you want
256
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:42,100
to do your job, great because
man, this is going to be a great
257
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:46,800
run right here for for Keyshawn,
or this is going to be man.
258
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,500
If I do this, I'm really going
to help Gallo with the combo
259
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,200
man.
If I come off, you know, and I
260
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,000
put my helmet right here, man.
This go make them much easier
261
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,600
Brock for Jesse.
You know, like if each guy plays
262
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,200
in a way where you're playing
for each other, you're spending
263
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,500
a lot less time thinking about
yourself.
264
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,200
You're not thinking about doing
things.
265
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:10,500
Wrong, you thinking about being
great for the guys around you.
266
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,000
And that's what I try to tell a
man.
267
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,800
You guys got a great off the
field culture, you care about
268
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,100
each other so much, bring that
off.
269
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:20,300
The fill culture rates in the
field.
270
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:23,000
You know what I mean?
Don't worry about yourself care
271
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000
about each other more than that
and that'll help you stay in the
272
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,600
moment and that will help you
overcome pressing.
273
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:32,200
That will help you overcome
anxiety or being nervous stay in
274
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,800
the moment.
Let It Go.
275
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,200
Execute do it for those guys
around you.
276
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,100
Love that.
Yeah, for sure.
277
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:41,900
And you know, you talked about
the veterans in this group,
278
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:45,000
let's flip it a little bit and
talk about some of the young
279
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,300
guys on that line.
We got, you know, Xavier
280
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:51,200
chaplain, that's come in this
fall.
281
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,500
You know, brilliant Braylon made
the position, switch, kind of
282
00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:57,800
late in the spring.
And then we've had Jack,
283
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,000
hollifield holding it down there
and of Center and guard, a
284
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,500
little bit during the Spring
there, as well.
285
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:07,100
When you were banging guys, were
banged up a little bit, how how
286
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:10,400
is it?
Been with those guys and are we
287
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,800
looking at any point to kind of
get some of those guys, some
288
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,700
extra snaps during the during
the games.
289
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:21,900
I do, we saw Braylon a little
bit against, I think was UNC in
290
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:25,300
and maybe a game before that as
well, but are we?
291
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,100
We played him.
We played them in one game
292
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:29,700
against West.
Virginia Plan was a little bit
293
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:32,100
more in that game.
We try to sneak him in as a
294
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:35,700
tight end and thought he would
make a difference and some they
295
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:37,500
had some size on their defensive
end.
296
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,800
And thought he would, he could
be a good matchup, didn't get a
297
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,100
lot of playing time in that one.
We got a little bit.
298
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:46,900
I'd be happy to talk about those
guys Braylon for one.
299
00:16:46,900 --> 00:16:49,100
I think is got an incredible
future.
300
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,300
You know, he keeps pressing
these right there from the
301
00:16:52,308 --> 00:16:56,400
standpoint of, you know, getting
them on the field more.
302
00:16:56,700 --> 00:17:01,800
And, you know, he's had a few
setbacks with with with with
303
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,099
injuries that have that have
just held him away from making
304
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:07,500
that step, but I think he's
going to happen.
305
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:10,000
Some future.
He's super 20.
306
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,300
I think he's got the ability to
play center and guard.
307
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:16,200
He's explosive he's learning,
you know, he's learning it on on
308
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,500
the Run.
They have and just kind of been
309
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:22,000
part of it in Camp but I
couldn't be more excited about
310
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,700
him.
Xavier chaplain, you know, just
311
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:29,400
a mountain of a man.
But every day he surprises You
312
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,500
by how much he absorbs, how much
he understands, he's got a, he's
313
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:39,000
got a kind of a unique kind of
Intuitive sense of humor.
314
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:43,300
And man, I think the sky's the
limit, you know, he's young,
315
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,500
but, but I can't remember
traveling the true freshman for,
316
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,900
you know, I think maybe one time
I think there was a true
317
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:52,900
freshman.
I traveled.
318
00:17:52,900 --> 00:17:58,500
It was concen so to be traveling
Xavier, and Braylon and travel
319
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:02,300
and Johnny Garrett at times
travel and Brody Meadows of
320
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:06,300
times.
I mean that's that's pretty much
321
00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:09,400
been unheard of in.
And in my experience.
322
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,400
So I'm excited for that.
I think I think those guys are
323
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,500
worthy of it and I think those
guys will push and have the
324
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:19,900
opportunity and a big impact
here and I could definitely see
325
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,600
Xavier Braylon getting on the
field and playing a little bit
326
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,600
and and just going in the next
year with a little more
327
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,700
experience.
Awesome to hear that good.
328
00:18:30,700 --> 00:18:34,400
Appreciate the little background
there on those young guys before
329
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,900
we wrap up tonight and let you
get back to what you're doing
330
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:39,400
there and merry men, you know,
ever since you've come to
331
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,700
Blacksburg what's kind of your
food spot down there, where
332
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:46,600
what's the spot you hit up?
You know, late night like this.
333
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,500
You're in the office.
Who are you calling to say, grab
334
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:53,600
me some food and bring it in
well Coach.
335
00:18:53,600 --> 00:19:00,500
Quin is like the Aficionado of
all Food Eatery.
336
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:04,300
And he only tell you that he
takes great enjoyment in holding
337
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:07,700
that title and he's very much in
the moment when he is in any
338
00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:10,800
establishment.
So he has kind of taken me all
339
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,800
over Blacksburg to like a whole
bunch of places.
340
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,000
I probably never would have gone
to myself and it's been awesome
341
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,100
man.
Like there are some great food
342
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:20,900
and there are some great people
in this town.
343
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:25,600
And we've, we've enjoyed a man
and, and my family.
344
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,100
They are what when we cuz I was
here for a little bit before
345
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:30,800
they They got here, they had
finished.
346
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:35,500
My boys, finished baseball back
in back in Wisconsin, and then
347
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:38,500
they came out right before
school started, so, like taking
348
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:41,100
them after that.
So, few of the places whether it
349
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:45,800
was, you know, whether it was a
greens or lefties or wherever
350
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,000
like we McAdoo's like we would
be all over and making stops.
351
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,900
Oh I like kind of changing it up
a little bit and and it's kind
352
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:57,100
of neat showing them around
after kind of Sean showed me
353
00:19:57,100 --> 00:20:00,200
around a little bit.
That's awesome.
354
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,100
That's awesome.
Yeah I mean we actually we're
355
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:07,000
not Virginia Tech grads.
We actually played at him and
356
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,900
City division 3 but we spent any
time that we could in Blacksburg
357
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:18,500
so we are well versed in the in
the food options there.
358
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:21,600
We're up there all the time so
it's awesome to hear that you're
359
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,300
kind of immersing yourself in
that culture as well.
360
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:27,900
It's been good.
I've made my Stomps everywhere
361
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:31,200
and back and probably PK's
probably gets the most action,
362
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,000
I've everything so it's all
pretty good.
363
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,200
Love it.
Good luck.
364
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,000
Gotta get the cheetah wings and
right gotta get this shit off
365
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:45,900
coach, I want to say a big thank
you for jumping on with us.
366
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:49,700
It's been a good time.
And I in the insight to kind of
367
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:52,200
what's going on with the
offensive line.
368
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,800
Specifically, I think it's been
good and I think good for the
369
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,300
listeners to kind of kind of
pick up on so we appreciate your
370
00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:01,900
time.
Absolutely did my pleasure man.
371
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:05,100
I appreciate you guys.
And I know we got a great fan
372
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:08,200
base and they care about this
program, they care about these
373
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,200
kids and that makes it fun.
You know, when you come out in
374
00:21:12,208 --> 00:21:16,900
that stadium and you feel that,
that's, that's why that's what
375
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:18,700
reinforces all the work you put
in.
376
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:20,700
So we're going to grind and
we're going to keep grinding,
377
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:24,200
and we're going to get there.
Awesome coach.
378
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,000
Again, we appreciate you taking
the time, we know how busy you
379
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,800
are, we look forward.
We thank you for coming on the
380
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,400
light and we look forward to
having you off.
381
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,400
Maybe sometime in the offseason
and Brian.
382
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,100
And you can just sit down there
and break down ol tape.
383
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,200
And I just sit here, shut up and
listen, take care of yourself,
384
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:49,700
coach Rudolph, I'm frustrated.
Well that was a surprise.
385
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,500
It's always fun to get the the
last minute.
386
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:59,600
Thumbs up blast it.
Well I'm not texted Brian it.
387
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,200
Like what?
Six and problems.
388
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,200
Like you haven't heard back from
Travis and we were like, oh it's
389
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,800
okay, it's a busy week.
We know these guys are busy in
390
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,500
about five minutes.
Before we go on.
391
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:10,800
I'm running a little late
tonight.
392
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,100
I'm jumping in their phone and
it was like holy shit.
393
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,300
We got him.
Well, I was on and I was about
394
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:20,500
to let you know that that We got
him and then he was on and I was
395
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:22,900
I was talking to him.
Well I was waiting for you to
396
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:28,000
get on so yeah we really
appreciate coach taking the time
397
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,400
with us.
That was that was awesome.
398
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,000
Getting some insight into what's
going to going on behind the
399
00:22:33,008 --> 00:22:36,000
scenes there with the offensive
line and you have a little more
400
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:40,700
input from from the staff there
since we had you know, Kiante
401
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:43,200
Jenkins on last week.
In the player's perspective
402
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,800
perspective get a little bit of
the coach perspective this week.
403
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:50,000
Absolutely man.
And now he No, we've got we got
404
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,800
we were 25 minutes.
I did the episode.
405
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,300
We got a ton more to unload.
Yeah, that's right.
406
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:59,600
It is awesome to hear from him
and what guy he was.
407
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,500
We were shooting the, we shot
the breeze about 15 minutes.
408
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:05,300
Before we jump, we literally
press the button, literally at
409
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:10,300
the last possible minute for.
We could go and for our folks,
410
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:12,900
if any of our hometown folks, in
South Boston, less than we were
411
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:16,000
explaining late, mop South
Boston's few, a late model stock
412
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,800
car racing Sitting On The Backs.
Edge on tailgating the bologna
413
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,500
burger, balloons Burger in hand.
If you see a guy decked out in
414
00:23:24,508 --> 00:23:28,200
Virginia Tech gear and he asked
for a beer and a bologna burger,
415
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,200
it could potentially be Coach
Joe Rudolph this summer because
416
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,100
we told him it's the perfect
time to go down.
417
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:34,900
We pointed in the right
direction.
418
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:36,300
We're getting them in the right
direction.
419
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:39,400
Yeah, I think he's working that
kind of that kind of South Side
420
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,300
area.
Yeah.
421
00:23:40,300 --> 00:23:43,300
With recruited his region.
Yeah, there's reto mentioned.
422
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:46,900
He said that was the his region.
That is the southernmost point
423
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:48,100
out facts.
Yeah.
424
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:49,800
Yeah.
He says he said he was checking
425
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,300
out the website before he got on
he was like you guys are from
426
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:53,700
Halifax County.
He's like, yeah, I've been down
427
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,900
in that area, you know, recruit?
I was like, all right.
428
00:23:56,900 --> 00:23:58,800
Well, look, it makes you there.
I like that.
429
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:00,800
Yes, sir.
All right, Braun.
430
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,500
Well, that was awesome because
to talk Rudolph but we've got to
431
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:06,900
put a game in the books.
We've got to talk about some
432
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:09,500
stuff and we've got a preview
some stuff.
433
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,000
So, you know, let's let's go
into it.
434
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,100
Let's talk about the UNC game,
you know, Hokies fall 41:10,
435
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,700
I'll say this.
Opening of the game was good.
436
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:23,200
Those first two drives went
pretty well, we stop them.
437
00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:27,000
You know, they got a first down,
we stop them, we take the
438
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,100
opening drive, go down, score
three.
439
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:33,200
And then you know, like so many
elements of getting things,
440
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,300
right?
And things being fixed.
441
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:39,800
And, you know, the flaws showed
and at the in the postgame press
442
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,300
conference in much like coach
pry.
443
00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:45,300
And now, last week talking with
kyanka this week, talking with
444
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:49,700
Coach Rudolph, I'm not here, a
lot of sugar coating on things,
445
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:53,400
they're not being there, being
honest and Coach Price set at
446
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,900
that.
You know, we're probably going
447
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:57,200
to start playing freshman
because of death in for an
448
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,300
evaluation process and I don't
think that shocks me or you It
449
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:05,800
doesn't shock me at all, you
know, we've kind of flirted with
450
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,500
it.
I think after West Virginia,
451
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:10,700
some of the discussions we were
having last week, you know, is
452
00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:12,500
is this the time is this the
time?
453
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:15,200
And you know, I think at some
point you're going to have to
454
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:20,300
see What the young guys have?
If you're noticing, you know,
455
00:25:20,308 --> 00:25:23,300
number one, you're obviously
having some depth concerns.
456
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:28,200
Number two, if they're still
inconsistency, with the play of
457
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,400
your veterans, you know, you
still want to at that point.
458
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,200
If you're getting inconsistent
play from your veterans, then,
459
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,500
let's see what the young guys
can do.
460
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:38,600
See if they give you a little
bit more upside.
461
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:41,700
You know, despite probably there
being some growing pains with
462
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:44,800
them playing with that process.
Absolutely.
463
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,500
And that's what we're going to
kind of talk about.
464
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,700
Here tonight is kind of look at
the number of rooms but I'm
465
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:51,400
going to start with the
quarterback room and you know,
466
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,300
you know Grant Wells.
You know, I mean it wasn't a
467
00:25:56,308 --> 00:25:59,600
terrible game by any means, but
it wasn't the game that you're
468
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:07,600
going to need playing UNC.
You know, that's Yeah and the
469
00:26:07,608 --> 00:26:10,400
thing I've kind of said things
that I've looked at with Wells
470
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,100
is that he does enough things,
okay?
471
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:19,800
But he still, he still at the
point where was leaving yards on
472
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,200
the field and you know I get it
with some of the deep balls, a
473
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,500
deep balls, not the easiest play
to make but some of the the more
474
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:31,100
short to intermediate routes
either either locking onto your
475
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:33,600
primary for too long and not
getting to the secondary.
476
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,600
That's open you know, missing
guys that are Opening, you know
477
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:39,600
against UNC.
He didn't get a lot of help.
478
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,800
There is several drops drops.
Yeah, and things that, you know,
479
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,200
contributed to, you know, the
day that Wells would out there.
480
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,300
But I'll say this, he's not
elevating.
481
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:55,000
The play of the guys around him.
Yeah.
482
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,000
So you know does that mean it's
time to pull a guy?
483
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,400
I don't know, I think I'm at the
point where I don't know if
484
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,000
Wells is the answer for the next
three years.
485
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,200
Like we thought he might be.
Yeah, we're not seeing to
486
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,900
progressions the progression, as
the season goes along and we'll
487
00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:18,100
see if he gets there if he
continues down the line.
488
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:22,100
But I think I'd like to see a
little bit more Brown against
489
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:26,100
Pitt, just to see what we have.
See if the command of the
490
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:29,900
offense is different, see if
that kind of gives some other
491
00:27:29,900 --> 00:27:34,500
guys that other positions of
spark, as we kind of Into the
492
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:36,800
middle part of this season.
Yep.
493
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:43,300
What are your thoughts man?
Well I'm almost to a point where
494
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,300
we talked about playing the
younger guys, right?
495
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:48,600
I almost think it needs to be a
Cascade of that.
496
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,700
I think you've got to try
playing some younger guys you
497
00:27:51,700 --> 00:27:53,500
know because you're all
mentioned chaplain.
498
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:56,300
They really want to get chaplain
and Braylon some more time to
499
00:27:56,300 --> 00:28:00,300
play and we got rather than one
game but that Cascade effect of
500
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,300
what if you start, what if the
Run game gets a little bit
501
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:07,800
better?
What if some of the younger
502
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,100
receivers, get a little more
rest?
503
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,400
Start making bigger plays, you
get Malachi Thomas back.
504
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,600
Potentially so to me, I think
it's like this, this timeframe
505
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,400
where in between pit and NC
State, Make some other changes.
506
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,500
And if I say n c-- State, Grant
hasn't changed his level of play
507
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,400
Then those last four games.
But Jason Brown Blake.
508
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:33,600
Let Lisa Braun Play.
It's wasn't going to hurt.
509
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:36,800
We're likely going to be looking
for another portal quarterback,
510
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,700
which I know is something we
probably didn't want to do, but
511
00:28:40,700 --> 00:28:44,100
you got to move on and we're
going to talk about the Portland
512
00:28:44,100 --> 00:28:49,100
a little while here but you
know, yeah, we're valuation
513
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:54,200
period, this point where we're
trying to see what we have and I
514
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,000
think part of that is not just
okay, well we're evaluating
515
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,700
Grant, we obviously know that
but it's hard when Grant
516
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:07,300
struggling to also evaluate some
of the other guys You know,
517
00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:10,500
potentially Brown might be a
stabilizing factor in that.
518
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:13,200
I don't think he, I don't think
he has the upside.
519
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:16,000
That grand does not fall.
I mean.
520
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,700
And I said that in the
offseason.
521
00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:21,700
Yeah.
I mean, we kind of know that
522
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:24,100
there are limitations with
putting Brown in there.
523
00:29:24,100 --> 00:29:30,300
But would he help us more in?
Some of the things we're Grant
524
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:32,600
is deficient right now?
That's the question.
525
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,600
We don't really have an answer
to yet.
526
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,600
Could he maximize other?
Is on the field and other parts
527
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,800
of the offense that help those
guys improve.
528
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,600
And we don't know until the
actually play significant reps,
529
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,400
which is going to be interesting
to see how it goes with the last
530
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,500
seven games.
Now, something I'm really glad
531
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:53,600
we had Coast Rudolph on in.
This is our second talking
532
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:59,000
point, you know, the offensive
line, it wasn't, you know, one
533
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,100
hit on all cylinders and you
know, coach Rudolph talked about
534
00:30:03,100 --> 00:30:07,300
guys, pressing the eyes, you
know, if you're dry Rising
535
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:10,700
moving and things like that.
You know we're under three of
536
00:30:10,700 --> 00:30:15,800
carry against a UNC defense that
had not been very good and we
537
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:22,600
talked about we talked about is
it time to let the young guys
538
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,000
come in and play?
And you know he and luckily he
539
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,400
kind of said it for us and
Brian.
540
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,700
Do you think it is time for
those two young guys that he's
541
00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:36,000
mentioned, you know, bringing
more and Xavier Chapman.
542
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Is it time to Give them some
run, just to see if it can
543
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,800
create potentially a spark on
the offensive line.
544
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:48,600
I think so it at least in some
sort of capacity.
545
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,300
I don't know if you necessarily
roll them out as the starters
546
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:57,500
and give them the full game, but
I think it'll be good to get
547
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:02,500
them in at least for a handful
of series each potentially
548
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:04,800
started this week with pit.
That'll that'll kind of be a
549
00:31:04,808 --> 00:31:08,300
trial by fire which we're going
to talk about in a little bit in
550
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:13,400
terms of what they do up front.
But you know as we keep moving
551
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,800
forward I think it's To be
important to, to get those guys.
552
00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:24,600
Some, some additional time in
the game, especially the, to
553
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,400
we've mentioned, Braylon more is
a viewer chaplain, especially
554
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,300
when a guy like, you know, we've
talked about the many struggles
555
00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:38,100
that Parker Clements has had in
the season and the fact that you
556
00:31:38,100 --> 00:31:40,700
know that Xavier Chaplin is
going to have to be one of the
557
00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:45,300
guys going into next year, you
know, those two Actors alone, I
558
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:48,000
think and can be a good
justification for getting him
559
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,800
out there.
Especially, you know, a guy that
560
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,700
is, you know, a true freshman.
Just just coming into fall Camp.
561
00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:57,700
The fact that he's absorbed
enough for, he's on that cusp
562
00:31:57,700 --> 00:31:59,700
right now.
That says a lot about him and
563
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:01,300
what his future is with this
team.
564
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,000
But you also can't teach what he
has and Coach Ford.
565
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,600
All said he is a mountain, he's
six foot six, he's 340 pounds.
566
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,700
He is a, he's a monster, he's a
monkey movement and he moved and
567
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:16,500
he can jump.
Holy God that Duncan All right,
568
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:20,500
so if you're going forward now
you can you can make this the
569
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:22,100
rest of the season.
You can say, we're going to try
570
00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:25,500
this for four games.
What would be your preferred 5?
571
00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:30,900
What would you like to see?
I think I'd like to see it.
572
00:32:30,900 --> 00:32:36,100
Keep silence that left?
Give me Braylon Johnny, Caden
573
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:40,700
and then Xavier, right.
I think that'll give us the
574
00:32:40,700 --> 00:32:44,400
best.
Chance that the best combination
575
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,700
of talent versus building
towards what we're going to look
576
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:51,100
like next year, because we know
that both more brothers are
577
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:53,700
going to be in the mix next
year.
578
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:57,500
We know the chapel is going to
be in the mix next year and then
579
00:32:57,500 --> 00:33:00,700
you keep your two veterans that
are going to be out of
580
00:33:00,700 --> 00:33:02,100
Eligibility at the end of this
year.
581
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:04,200
And there is to kind of hold the
unit together.
582
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:06,700
Yep.
In ones on the left side, with
583
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:11,000
one of the younger guys.
And then more, you know, Chapel
584
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,300
on the right side with Lesser of
the experience that's cattle
585
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:18,100
where you maybe get a little
shaky, but I think things have
586
00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:20,900
got to change.
I think you gotta we were
587
00:33:20,900 --> 00:33:23,400
talking about the gelling and
all that going on.
588
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,400
Eventually one does it come to a
point?
589
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,100
When, okay things aren't gelling
is it just the group's, not
590
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:35,300
going to gel on the field and as
much as they care, which is good
591
00:33:35,300 --> 00:33:38,400
to hear.
You know, I have a feeling that
592
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,500
if they didn't care, I don't
think we'd heard that come out
593
00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:44,100
of Coach results mouth because
So there's no reason to say
594
00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:49,500
that, so, yeah, so it'll be
interesting going forward with
595
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:53,800
the offensive line and with the
and he was talking about, it's
596
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,100
little things, right?
It's these little things that
597
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,400
kind of add up and he was
talking about pressing and
598
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,700
talking about playing playing
not to make a mistake, is still,
599
00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:08,400
it's never a winning strategy.
If you're not playing with that
600
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,300
confidence and that it's
overthinking.
601
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:16,300
It's so many things that kind of
come into play that can hinder
602
00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:19,800
you as an offensive lineman and
because because you are having
603
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,300
to work as a unit and as a group
and there's so much of what you
604
00:34:23,300 --> 00:34:27,400
do that impacts, what other
people are able to do on a given
605
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:29,100
play call.
Yeah.
606
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:34,500
And so you know if you don't
have all of that working in a
607
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:38,699
full tandem with the right
mindset, then there's going to
608
00:34:38,699 --> 00:34:40,600
be in consistencies and
struggles and that's what we've
609
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,300
seen.
Exactly.
610
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,500
All right, let's flip and talk a
little bit about the defensive
611
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:46,400
side of the ball.
Couple things there.
612
00:34:46,699 --> 00:34:49,199
And we'll wrap up with a few
more places that we're seeing.
613
00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:54,500
We felt the secondary was the
strongest part of this team and
614
00:34:54,500 --> 00:34:58,700
Saturday, what we've been
hearing all year deaths in
615
00:34:58,700 --> 00:35:02,600
issued Epson issue will death
against the best passing team.
616
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,900
We faced all year reared.
Its ugly head and bit Us in the
617
00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:10,600
ass in with Dorian strong out
and then Jalen strumming out on
618
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,700
that first base.
Glee our strongest unit against
619
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,100
against against the best
quarterback and probably some of
620
00:35:18,100 --> 00:35:20,800
the best skill position players,
not having the two it showed.
621
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:28,400
And it showed quick, in that
first half. you know, but but I
622
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,300
cannot not having strobing not
having strong and, you know, It
623
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:35,600
was the strongest unit against
the best quarterback.
624
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,800
And it showed that we're not
quite there depth wise, but it
625
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,800
was good to get get some extra
time for DJ.
626
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,800
Yeah.
For Mansoor for cam, they were
627
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,900
able to come in like moment,
didn't look for big to Big,
628
00:35:53,900 --> 00:35:55,700
especially for Delaney.
Delaney, look down.
629
00:35:55,700 --> 00:35:59,700
Belonged out there.
Yes, you did DJ.
630
00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:02,300
You okay?
And all three of them.
631
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,900
Hold up very well.
So I think the future is bright
632
00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:12,000
at the position but, you know,
damn, along with me, Devon.
633
00:36:12,700 --> 00:36:16,000
Yeah, I mean, that's probably
your starter well.
634
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,300
Yeah, that's probably your
starters next year with strong.
635
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:23,900
So yeah, it shows really good
and again menasor showed like
636
00:36:23,900 --> 00:36:26,000
right out the gate with that
tackle for loss and then a
637
00:36:26,008 --> 00:36:29,800
couple good coverage plays.
Yeah.
638
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:33,700
But when it rears its ugly head
against a team of that caliber
639
00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:36,200
and the weight reg, man, he's
playing right now Drake, make a
640
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:42,100
five-star Realty there is I'd I
don't think we did.
641
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:44,900
I don't think we downplay them
last week when we previewed in,
642
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,100
I mean.
But the two things that I can
643
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:52,300
critique him on our Things that
don't really impact him that
644
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:55,300
much, especially if you don't
get a rush on it.
645
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:59,900
I mean his footwork still needs,
you know, some polishing and he
646
00:36:59,900 --> 00:37:03,000
needs to not take unnecessary
hits that.
647
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,100
That's, that's the to critiques
this game.
648
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:14,000
Other than that, I mean shoot
dude is in his bag right now, he
649
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,400
absolutely is.
All right, let's flip almost
650
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,300
talk about up front again and
then about the The depth front
651
00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:27,000
kind of hurting because I mean
to say when I when we were at 24
652
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,100
with less than you know, nine
minutes still left in the third
653
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:32,800
quarter.
Eventually couple minutes later,
654
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:38,100
the wheels fell off, the depth
fell out and the floodgates kind
655
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:42,200
of open to get it to 41,
completely out of range and
656
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,900
something in coach Prime mention
it.
657
00:37:43,900 --> 00:37:47,300
I'm called portion of interviews
not playing common football you
658
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:50,900
know you're down 14.
If you can go out and get a
659
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:54,100
score to open half, right?
Is a seven-point game.
660
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:56,000
They've got to press a little
bit more.
661
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,600
They didn't have to press and
once we didn't do anything with
662
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,100
the second drive, it was just
kind of like all right.
663
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:06,300
We can we can we can take risks.
They did they scored 17 in the
664
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:10,400
prophet like that opening drive
of the second half.
665
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,100
I mean there was some promise
there, there was some yeah, some
666
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:17,600
calls I think early that went
the way we wanted to and then we
667
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,600
kind of got in that That kind of
short yardage situation that
668
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,200
we've seen some struggles in
this year.
669
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:30,000
We weren't able to convert we
needed to and but you know
670
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,100
flipping it when that happens
that puts so much strain on the
671
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:37,700
on the defensive depth.
So you know just like in the DB
672
00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:39,800
room we saw it along the
defensive line.
673
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:47,000
You know, we saw Nelson McCray
Pinette I mean they get back out
674
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,900
there they're making they're
getting You guys in and out of
675
00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:54,300
that, that rotation, it's kind
of hard to get pressure.
676
00:38:54,300 --> 00:38:58,100
And when you got guys banged and
you're already struggling to get
677
00:38:58,100 --> 00:39:01,400
a little bit of pressure on the
guy and he's a guy, you have to
678
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:06,300
get pressure on to really
impact, you know, it's just it's
679
00:39:06,300 --> 00:39:07,700
a feast back there, he was
ashamed.
680
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:10,700
What it kind of picked guys off
any was.
681
00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:13,400
And and those three guys we've
been we've been, we've been
682
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,500
happy with this year but again
where it shows when you start
683
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:21,000
playing better offenses you.
It shows that they're all three
684
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
young.
They're all three.
685
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,200
You know, mcrea feels like he's
old mccrae's only affect a
686
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,600
redshirt freshman, they've only
been playing, you know, they all
687
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:35,600
may have 20 games between them.
So, in the reality of things,
688
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,700
they're still young.
I mean, I think it's okay,
689
00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:39,900
what's happening?
I think them getting rubs
690
00:39:39,900 --> 00:39:43,000
against Elite offenses and
seeing how quick things are
691
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,000
happening in front of them, that
take its put on Sunday right
692
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,800
Ron.
Now here's what we got.
693
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:50,400
Better.
This is where we've got to work
694
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,100
better.
But I think now from defensively
695
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:56,900
because of where we are, is I
think we've got a strategically
696
00:39:56,900 --> 00:40:00,600
start thinking about letting
some of the guys play the four
697
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,400
games.
Now anybody Pops, I think you
698
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,000
burn a red.
Sure.
699
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,800
I don't care because the more
tape and the more play you get
700
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,900
with them it's going to help
long run like right now Malachi
701
00:40:10,900 --> 00:40:14,400
Madison.
Malachi has got the body, right?
702
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,600
If nothing else, he's going to
be difficult.
703
00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:20,800
Even even is an experience as he
is.
704
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000
I've got three or ten pounds.
That's still is difficult for
705
00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:29,300
even the most technician and
strong offensive lineman to
706
00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:31,400
move.
Give him his three games.
707
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,100
Think about stretch Carol, do
they?
708
00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:37,500
Give Gunner, Givens, get them
and prize mention it, let them
709
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:40,200
play because if you're letting
them play at least it's the
710
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,300
film, right?
Brian?
711
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,400
It's the teaching moments.
Are you lined up here?
712
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:45,900
You went here, you should have
went this one.
713
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:50,200
Look at your footwork and I know
that they can learn something
714
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,900
from the process.
And you might, you know, find a
715
00:40:52,908 --> 00:40:55,000
guy that can give you a boost in
the short term.
716
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:58,500
Yeah.
So, I mean, I'd love to see that
717
00:40:58,500 --> 00:41:01,100
happen and it's got to be done
strategically because by all
718
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:04,600
means, if, you know, like this
weekend against Pitt, something
719
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,600
fluky happens, and we're in that
game like, yeah, it's going to
720
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,100
be tough to put them in in those
situations, right?
721
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,000
Just meet up to put them in if
it's like a.
722
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,700
I don't know that I'll make my
prediction in about an hour
723
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:22,000
here, but if you know if it's a
2121 game late, It's really
724
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,800
tough to go.
So we're going to put in for
725
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,700
freshmen to play this series.
Yeah, but you still trying to
726
00:41:26,700 --> 00:41:30,600
win a game.
If there's other points in the
727
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,300
within the game you can put them
in to get that experience, do
728
00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:34,800
it.
But I think they have to look to
729
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,700
these next seven games getting
those guys that have reps
730
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:41,500
running back room.
I thought we had Malachi coming
731
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:44,200
back.
Obviously, he's closer than he's
732
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,800
ever been, he's on the depth
chart this week, King still
733
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,300
solid hit.
Nine carries 50, some yard from
734
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:55,000
a couple, good ones.
And you continuing to show the
735
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,200
good traits, where that I'm
right there.
736
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,300
Those three have eligibility to
come back next year, that all
737
00:42:02,308 --> 00:42:04,700
three of them, it would be, it
would be king style year,
738
00:42:04,700 --> 00:42:07,500
Thomason pricer, Young Bucks, I
think.
739
00:42:08,700 --> 00:42:10,100
You've already burned Bryce,
right?
740
00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:12,600
You might as well make it part
of the game playing every week.
741
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:18,700
yeah, I mean especially I think
with when you get Malachi back
742
00:42:18,700 --> 00:42:24,000
at Full Steam, I think that's
when you start seeing holsten's
743
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,500
carries kind of move further and
further down the depth chart.
744
00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:35,000
Because they kind of have
similar skill sets in terms of
745
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,800
being competent, between the
tackles big enough to kind of
746
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,500
get some first downs, you know
about by running people over if
747
00:42:43,500 --> 00:42:48,100
they can wear as king and Duke
or kind of more little more
748
00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:50,800
under sized.
Yeah shifting.
749
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,000
So yeah.
So I think that's the
750
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,100
opportunity and I think that's
when you start seeing Holston
751
00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:58,100
kind of slip down the depth
chart a little bit further.
752
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,000
We're seeing it.
Also in game, I mean, Holston
753
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,000
only had two carries all mom.
He only had two carries, I
754
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,300
couldn't give you a snap number.
I know he was out there and some
755
00:43:08,300 --> 00:43:10,800
of the passengers situations.
He was out there in passing
756
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,400
situation because he's a ghost
walker.
757
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:22,100
He is, he is So, you know, we'll
see how that goes wide receiver
758
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:26,800
tight in room for unjust just as
we pop it on the screen here.
759
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,400
You know.
We'll talk about that kind of
760
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,600
blumrich.
I mean yeah, we haven't seen him
761
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,600
kind of designed into the
offense as much as I think.
762
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,100
We wanted to see him.
He hasn't been the kind of
763
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:42,200
primary guy.
The do it all guy that we
764
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,200
thought we were going to get
when the season started.
765
00:43:44,500 --> 00:43:49,800
He's worked in here or there.
Given us some some quality snaps
766
00:43:50,300 --> 00:43:57,600
but he is absolutely is not
working as a primary component
767
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,100
of the offense at this point,
but somebody that we did finally
768
00:44:01,100 --> 00:44:05,200
get to see and look at it out,
do it, do it, you know, you're
769
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,000
so happy about this Daquan
right.
770
00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:13,500
Hey Kwon, right, y'all don't
know who this guy takes me?
771
00:44:13,500 --> 00:44:17,200
I think that first play and it's
like, see I've been right?
772
00:44:17,700 --> 00:44:20,400
First of all, I don't tape and
he did look good.
773
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,700
He much like you said, man, sort
of Lanie belonged out there
774
00:44:23,700 --> 00:44:25,600
Daquan right?
And looked like he belongs out
775
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:31,300
there on Saturday against UNC, I
mean, 100%.
776
00:44:31,300 --> 00:44:37,700
I mean, he had four catches 31
yards, He got in the zones, he
777
00:44:37,700 --> 00:44:39,900
beat some guys off the off the
ball.
778
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,200
And, you know, that's what you
want and now they have to make
779
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,100
the decision, right?
Yeah.
780
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,600
Do you go ahead and just say,
you know, screw it.
781
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:57,000
What are you burning?
Yeah, I mean I think it's going
782
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,200
to depend on if we see kind of a
similar output this week, if
783
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,100
he's, if he's involved in the
game plan, if he continues to
784
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:06,900
kind of show that progress if
he's helping you, you gotta go
785
00:45:06,900 --> 00:45:10,800
ahead and burn it because it's
going to help him for next year
786
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,600
too, because it's only going to
give him some more
787
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,200
opportunities.
He's taking over that Drake
788
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,000
role.
He's taking after April next
789
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,300
year and probably with a lot
more Fanfare than Drake's
790
00:45:21,300 --> 00:45:23,000
playing this year.
Well, he's probably going to
791
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,600
take over.
He's going to be doing what
792
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,900
Drake's doing and doing some of
what Connors doing.
793
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,900
So he's going to kind of be a
little bit of jack-of-all-trades
794
00:45:32,900 --> 00:45:35,000
come next year.
So getting him out there where
795
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,900
he can kind of do a little bit
of this little bit of that, that
796
00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:41,100
that's only going to help us
going into next year.
797
00:45:41,500 --> 00:45:44,400
And if and if he still, if he
shows out again, like he did
798
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:49,200
this week, you know, 25 plus
yards, you know, three or four
799
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,500
receptions.
I mean, that's some quality work
800
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:56,900
for a tight end especially one,
you know, true freshman.
801
00:45:56,900 --> 00:45:59,000
Just just got to camp in the
fall.
802
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,700
So we'll see if he can make some
more ground up.
803
00:46:02,700 --> 00:46:08,000
I tell you the thing, I haven't
seen a lot of, you know, getting
804
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,600
a lot of Buzz out of fall campus
Holloway and we haven't really
805
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,500
seen him get much Run.
Is it time to kind of work him
806
00:46:14,500 --> 00:46:18,500
into the receiver rotation?
Some of these other guys, maybe
807
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,000
and that's the whole thing.
I think at the point that you
808
00:46:21,008 --> 00:46:25,200
can start taking those risks,
it's your two and three, you're
809
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,900
not familiar enough for and one
you're not trying to you know we
810
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,900
there's is there a bowl
possibilities out there?
811
00:46:30,900 --> 00:46:35,800
Yeah, weird things happen, but
it's, you know, again, finding
812
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,100
who's going to be that guy,
maybe Holloway is the next guy
813
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,200
that you see out there get some
run.
814
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:45,100
Um, I'm gonna go to linebacker
room real quick and I'm going to
815
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:48,800
make this statement.
Aunt, I know Dax is a leader,
816
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:53,300
the linebacker group and I know
Dax is a big figure in Virginia
817
00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:58,300
Tech football since 2000 and
really 16 And he's hooked
818
00:46:58,300 --> 00:47:01,400
through, you love him for.
He plays with passion, he plays
819
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:06,800
with hard, he plays with fire,
But sometimes we hold him on the
820
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,200
field, just a little bit too
long.
821
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,500
When the matchup isn't, right?
When they started carrying him
822
00:47:11,500 --> 00:47:17,000
up the seen numerous times and
they beat him, you got it, you
823
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,600
got to just cut it off and say,
hey, they're taking him out of
824
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,600
what he does.
Best those intermediate zones
825
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,700
and deep zones, that's not his
game short.
826
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,900
Any time they saw us and cover
to, they were picking on decks,
827
00:47:27,900 --> 00:47:31,000
they were picking on Dax.
And what I'm saying with this
828
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,700
linebacker group, we have right
now between Jenkins.
829
00:47:33,900 --> 00:47:37,700
Walker Lawson McDonald.
All these young men that more
830
00:47:37,700 --> 00:47:41,700
athletic guys than bags.
You've got to go ahead and mix
831
00:47:41,700 --> 00:47:44,800
it up and again, I think that's
something we saw with Johnson.
832
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,800
Last week is, all right, we're
at the point now, start mixing
833
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,100
find your nickel next year.
Yeah, I don't know who the mics
834
00:47:53,100 --> 00:47:57,000
going to be next year.
I think, I really think just
835
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,200
from prai discussing it.
I think Brent problems, Jaden
836
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:06,500
Keller to me the mic.
And I think Johnson is going to
837
00:48:06,500 --> 00:48:09,600
fight him for it.
I think that is going to be next
838
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:14,300
spring, roughly eight months
from now that do that, right?
839
00:48:14,300 --> 00:48:18,000
Yeah, no, no.
Seven months from that my months
840
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,500
or six months from now spring
next year, I think math is hard.
841
00:48:21,500 --> 00:48:24,500
Yes, it is hard after having a
pounding headache, this
842
00:48:24,500 --> 00:48:25,300
afternoon.
Yes.
843
00:48:25,300 --> 00:48:30,400
Math is very hard, but I think
that's going to be a such an
844
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,500
intriguing position and I think
right now You know, the next
845
00:48:34,500 --> 00:48:38,700
couple of weeks not you don't
have it's not going to be
846
00:48:38,700 --> 00:48:41,900
worried about as much but I
think we get to NC State.
847
00:48:41,900 --> 00:48:44,800
I think NC State's going to try
to take advantage of that acts
848
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,100
completely.
Yeah.
849
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,500
And we'll all say this when we
talk about you know taking
850
00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:54,000
advantage of that cover two and
knowing that Dax has to get kind
851
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:01,000
of that deep deep middle.
Not very many quarterbacks at
852
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:06,200
the college level can recognize
that make that throw true.
853
00:49:07,100 --> 00:49:13,100
So you know this isn't an every
week type deal but at the same
854
00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:17,300
time we still do have some good
quarterbacks on our schedule.
855
00:49:17,300 --> 00:49:19,600
Remaining that can take
advantage of that.
856
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,100
But yeah, I'm with you.
I think, I think he like Keller.
857
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:28,600
I think that in terms of next
year, taking over for Mike, I
858
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,300
think it's between Keller and
Johnson.
859
00:49:30,300 --> 00:49:35,400
I think Johnson probably has.
It seems like has the
860
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,800
understanding of the defense
down a little bit better, but I
861
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,000
think he likes Keller's physical
traits better.
862
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,800
Yeah.
So, I think the combination of
863
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,700
to Ken Keller, pick it up where
he, where he can call the
864
00:49:49,700 --> 00:49:53,200
defense?
You can can be that Communicator
865
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,200
for the defense that I think
that's another big, big piece to
866
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,700
watch going through the rest of
this year and into the start of
867
00:50:00,700 --> 00:50:04,800
next year, but you can mix it
right now, right?
868
00:50:05,100 --> 00:50:06,400
But you can make it here.
You can make.
869
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,400
We see that mean we the depth.
The depth chart is special.
870
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:14,400
I mean we'll we'll has been a
rotating cast of characters the
871
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:19,000
entire season so far in terms of
the depth chart you know, we've
872
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,900
seen Keller at the top of that.
List we've seen Lawson at the
873
00:50:21,908 --> 00:50:24,300
top of the list, we've seen.
Yeah, I don't at the top of the
874
00:50:24,300 --> 00:50:29,600
list, it's kind of been I think
they're still kind of figuring
875
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,500
out the balance I think
sometimes it's still being
876
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:37,800
dictated by opponent.
So there's that that aspect as
877
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,300
well.
So yep, as we get further along,
878
00:50:41,300 --> 00:50:48,500
we'll see if any guy emerges at
that position and obviously, you
879
00:50:48,500 --> 00:50:50,000
know, depending on the
eligibility.
880
00:50:50,700 --> 00:50:56,500
He still got Tisdale in there as
well that could be a factor.
881
00:50:56,500 --> 00:51:00,200
I don't think at this point that
we're going to get that resolved
882
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,200
this season but he'll know we're
not a discussion potentially
883
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,100
next year.
So yeah.
884
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,600
That's going to be an
interesting room to watch.
885
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,200
All right, so we're gonna put
that to bed and we're kind of
886
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,200
putting to bed you and see at
what that right there because
887
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,000
the next two things, we're going
to talk about even though some
888
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,800
of its On UNC.
It's a little bit more towards
889
00:51:23,300 --> 00:51:27,600
looking to the Future and trying
to have people calling them.
890
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:33,000
A lot of chatter about Boeing's
not cut for this.
891
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,200
This scheme isn't good.
Etc, etc, etc.
892
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:37,300
Brian.
I know you saw it.
893
00:51:37,300 --> 00:51:41,800
We had a chat about it and Brian
decided just to look at some
894
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,800
extra tape other than what he's
seeing during watching the game
895
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,700
live Brian's a junkie on
football.
896
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:53,400
Y'all, y'all don't understand.
Us to the point.
897
00:51:53,500 --> 00:51:56,100
Well we're all sports Joan.
You that probably listen to this
898
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,800
prize.
Now going 50/50 stack in front
899
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,700
of him.
There in the man cave and as he
900
00:52:00,700 --> 00:52:03,500
said can watch football, we can
keep the family happy.
901
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:05,600
So I know you're doing a lot
more breakdowns.
902
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:09,300
But let's talk about the scheme
because I know there were times
903
00:52:09,300 --> 00:52:12,900
again you got frustrated on
Saturday where there was he had
904
00:52:12,900 --> 00:52:14,900
scheme somebody wide open and we
did middle.
905
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,300
Yeah.
And kind of the thing that like
906
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,500
kind of putting a big bone it.
I don't think we're under
907
00:52:22,500 --> 00:52:26,600
playing relative to our talent
but we also aren't doing a good
908
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,200
job of maximizing the scheme
relative to that Talent right
909
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,700
now.
So there's yards kind of all
910
00:52:32,700 --> 00:52:34,500
over the field that we're
missing.
911
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:41,000
Whether it's Executioner, by the
quarterback, drop bowls, you
912
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,900
know, missing a block, not quite
getting to a block, you know,
913
00:52:44,900 --> 00:52:50,000
something that turns a, you
know, 88-yard gain into a 1 or 2
914
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,100
yard game because somebody
didn't quite get to their spot.
915
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:57,600
Somebody took a bad angle body,
let somebody across their face.
916
00:52:58,700 --> 00:53:01,400
I mean, there's just these
little things and I know I get
917
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,200
that.
Some people are frustrated with
918
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,200
the calls and the scheme, I like
the scheme, the scheme.
919
00:53:06,300 --> 00:53:08,900
Is good, the front, the where I
have a frustration in.
920
00:53:08,900 --> 00:53:15,900
This is mostly looking at Bowens
relative inexperience, as a
921
00:53:15,900 --> 00:53:19,800
power five.
Play caller, not changing in
922
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:26,700
rotating Personnel, sooner often
enough and I'd like to see some
923
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:30,700
development or refinement to
kind of bridge the gap with
924
00:53:30,700 --> 00:53:36,000
these shortcomings week-to-week.
The things that he is struggling
925
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:41,400
with the The most is is those
adjustments and then not having
926
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:46,300
kind of an extra wrinkle or a
big new wrinkle week-to-week
927
00:53:46,300 --> 00:53:50,500
that kind of throws off the
opposing defense something that
928
00:53:50,500 --> 00:53:53,900
they don't have tape on yet.
You know, that, that's the kind
929
00:53:53,900 --> 00:53:59,100
of things that I think is where
he's not quite not quite hit his
930
00:53:59,100 --> 00:54:01,900
stride yet in some of that,
especially with the latter might
931
00:54:01,900 --> 00:54:05,300
just be, we're not doing enough
of our bread-and-butter stuff
932
00:54:05,300 --> 00:54:07,800
good yet.
That I'm not trying to throw
933
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:13,800
more at them week to week.
Yeah, so it's so it's again
934
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,800
that's why I wanted Brian to
speak to it again.
935
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,000
I still like the scheme.
I still think he's scheming
936
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,100
people open.
I think from what you told me.
937
00:54:23,100 --> 00:54:26,100
There were people open, we're
just not getting there and it's
938
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,900
kind of goes back to Grand and
again, another knock on Grant.
939
00:54:28,900 --> 00:54:33,500
We're not trying to bury the guy
here, but Brian you said it, you
940
00:54:33,500 --> 00:54:36,300
said it since week one, he locks
onto that first receiver.
941
00:54:36,300 --> 00:54:39,000
When a lot of times it's the
second read.
942
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,300
It's getting open that if you
got off of that guy quicker,
943
00:54:44,300 --> 00:54:48,400
there's a guy Wide Open Door and
not a relatively easy throw, but
944
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,900
they throw you can complete and
get your quick.
945
00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:53,400
Yeah.
And like I said, you know he
946
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,100
needs to get some help from his
receivers.
947
00:54:55,100 --> 00:54:58,400
There was a lot of drop balls.
I know it was a little bit of a
948
00:54:58,408 --> 00:55:02,600
slick situation out there from
time to time but well Misty yeah
949
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:06,100
you know you got to grab those
the other team did not struggle
950
00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:10,900
with with drops the way we did.
So absolutely there's only so
951
00:55:10,900 --> 00:55:12,500
much.
You can blame on the conditions
952
00:55:12,500 --> 00:55:14,500
there.
So you got you got to help your
953
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:16,100
quarterback out.
If it's your quarterback as to
954
00:55:16,100 --> 00:55:20,800
understand and work within the
framework of the scheme and get
955
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,000
through those Scenes where he
can get the ball to the guy that
956
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:29,600
is coming, open in the offense.
And I know another thing we
957
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,200
talked about this a lot on the
sidelines on the on the
958
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:39,100
timeline, someone was saying,
you know, check with me, they
959
00:55:39,100 --> 00:55:44,000
hate the check with me.
And I kept saying right back to
960
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,800
him if we can get into a rhythm
and we can go Tempo.
961
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,300
You're going to see less check
with me but we can't right now
962
00:55:51,300 --> 00:55:54,900
we're not we're not dictating to
the defense and we're not
963
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:59,400
dictating to the defense then
scheme matters more and so
964
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,800
you're going to see a lot more
check with me so we get in the
965
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,800
best possible situation for that
down in distance.
966
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,200
There we go.
All right for we jump over to
967
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,700
pit we're going to take a look
at a few kind of college
968
00:56:10,700 --> 00:56:12,000
football news.
Oops.
969
00:56:12,700 --> 00:56:15,500
Obviously one that probably
caught this fan bases.
970
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:19,800
I more than anybody speaking of
Robbie comfortable.
971
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,500
We're talking about Joe, Robbie
kind of kind of going back to my
972
00:56:22,500 --> 00:56:24,700
point there.
Rebecca Sutter.
973
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:26,300
Can't get the bread and butter.
Right?
974
00:56:26,300 --> 00:56:28,300
Why?
I had a wrinkle, there you go.
975
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:31,800
Alright.
But loan using notes, big one.
976
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,600
That called.
Every Hokies fans eyes was
977
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,300
Devon.
Ford no longer with Penn State
978
00:56:36,300 --> 00:56:41,100
team sounds like he is
preserving his Red shirt and
979
00:56:41,100 --> 00:56:42,700
essentially will enter the
portal.
980
00:56:42,700 --> 00:56:49,100
We are on now that the 45-day
portal timeline, I mean, I'm
981
00:56:49,107 --> 00:56:51,500
pretty sure Brent Pride probably
had a hand in recruiting Because
982
00:56:51,500 --> 00:56:55,600
he was up in Northern Virginia.
So as far as you know, let's
983
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,100
make the running back room
bigger.
984
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,700
Let's make the running back
room, bigger.
985
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:09,800
I mean, you know, I have no big
problem with With us pursuing
986
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:14,400
that because we need Frontline
Talent across the board.
987
00:57:14,500 --> 00:57:16,900
I mean, there's not a position
group.
988
00:57:17,900 --> 00:57:23,400
We're more than a handful of
starters where you feel are.
989
00:57:24,500 --> 00:57:29,000
Absolutely absolutely locked in
rock-solid couldn't be pressed
990
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,600
by anybody else that you can get
in the portal.
991
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,600
So I think that's where you
mean, you got to explore your
992
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:39,300
options running back is probably
not a need position but we could
993
00:57:39,300 --> 00:57:43,400
definitely upgrade the position
I think and create more depth.
994
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:47,000
Are I mean, you look at a team
like, like pit that we're about
995
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,900
to talk about.
Out that, you know, they only
996
00:57:49,900 --> 00:57:52,800
got two healthy right now, but
they've got essentially, three
997
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,700
starting caliber running backs.
Yep.
998
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,400
And so, I mean, we and we've had
that in our past, you know,
999
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,100
looking back in at 2009 and
2010.
1000
00:58:04,700 --> 00:58:10,700
So I mean, we understand, we
understand the the ability to
1001
00:58:10,700 --> 00:58:14,000
run three NFL caliber running
backs out there.
1002
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:19,600
Yeah, it's And well we didn't
ever run them correctly out
1003
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,400
there.
Don't get me into that.
1004
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:26,600
When you have Evan Williams and
somehow, we did not manage to
1005
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,700
have like a top 15 offense with
three NFL running backs,
1006
00:58:29,900 --> 00:58:33,300
multiple NFL wide receivers and
if L quarterback, you want to
1007
00:58:33,300 --> 00:58:36,400
get it.
Let's go into 2009 episode 2010
1008
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,000
and get me, fired up.
All right, we'll keep moving.
1009
00:58:40,100 --> 00:58:42,500
We gotta roll here.
All right, call the real out of
1010
00:58:42,508 --> 00:58:44,200
Colorado, I don't think that's a
shocker.
1011
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,800
I mean, literally, the worst
team in P5.
1012
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,800
Both sides of the All know shot
there but the shock one came
1013
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:57,900
Sunday night Paul Chris out at
Wisconsin, Paul Chris basically
1014
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,500
I mean he's had it's not been a
great start to this season, the
1015
00:59:01,500 --> 00:59:06,200
guy's been there, six years.
He's went to three BCS Bowls.
1016
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,800
He went 13 and 11 year.
He won, you know, double-digit
1017
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,700
games four times, his too bad
game, his too bad seasons were
1018
00:59:14,700 --> 00:59:20,000
eight and nine.
I'm I'm in one of those.
1019
00:59:20,300 --> 00:59:23,100
One of those is worse.
Year was the covid ear.
1020
00:59:23,100 --> 00:59:25,700
There she I don't count the
covid you, okay.
1021
00:59:25,700 --> 00:59:27,800
I don't count that.
You look at everything.
1022
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:31,200
On the thing around, I mean back
in 2001.
1023
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:37,500
The 2013 20 they went 13 in one.
The only loss was to Ohio State
1024
00:59:38,900 --> 00:59:43,300
They lost of them by 6.
And if it's one of these things
1025
00:59:43,300 --> 00:59:46,500
where you if Wisconsin fired
him, well, he can't get us over
1026
00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:49,100
the top.
There's not many people to get
1027
00:59:49,100 --> 00:59:51,200
you over the top but now you're
taking the guy who could
1028
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:55,600
potentially get you in a few
years into the playoff run every
1029
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:59,500
year and you're firing him and
I'm not knocking Jim Leonard.
1030
00:59:59,500 --> 01:00:01,300
Jim Learners a hell of a
defensive coordinator.
1031
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,000
But I mean if we need a special
assistant to the head coach next
1032
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:13,000
year I'm hoping Joe there's a
relationship there that we could
1033
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:17,200
fall still good man.
Let's hope maybe you know we
1034
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,600
still need some death on the
offensive line for next year
1035
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,700
too.
So we'll see if any of those
1036
01:00:21,700 --> 01:00:24,400
guys.
Maybe they didn't take kindly to
1037
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:25,800
it.
Let's hope that offensive
1038
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,900
lineman.
Did take kindly to Fire and Paul
1039
01:00:27,900 --> 01:00:31,300
crisp up.
Yeah.
1040
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,300
Yeah.
I'll be fine with that.
1041
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:38,500
I'll be fine with it.
One last piece of news here in
1042
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,300
this is sort of hits close to
us.
1043
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,200
This guy played at UVA, is name
is Tyrone.
1044
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:52,400
Davis, if you're where we from
Halifax County Virginia.
1045
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:57,300
Tyrone Davis has one of the
three Sports guides that came
1046
01:00:57,300 --> 01:01:01,000
through our high school.
Tyrone went to UVA, he broke
1047
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Herman, Moore is record.
And I know these UVA guy and
1048
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,100
some people like what the hell
you talking about this guy?
1049
01:01:06,500 --> 01:01:09,300
He's from our hometown in was
probably the greatest football
1050
01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:11,200
player that ever came through.
That he played seven years in
1051
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:16,000
the league.
Any passed away today.
1052
01:01:17,100 --> 01:01:23,000
And, you know, for us, he was
just a little bit like we were
1053
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,000
forward.
Five years old, he was playing
1054
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:29,400
before our team won state
championship, but I wanted to
1055
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:33,200
mention it because again,
there's a big three that came
1056
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,800
through Halifax.
Tyrone was one, he played
1057
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,100
multiple years in the NFL, he
was a D1 college stud.
1058
01:01:40,100 --> 01:01:44,800
Terry Davis.
Who it felt like played forever
1059
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:49,800
in the NBA in Germany and when I
read it passed away, it kind of
1060
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,300
broke my heart a little bit and
I know Brian you played more
1061
01:01:53,300 --> 01:01:56,700
organized football and I know he
was around back then and it's
1062
01:01:56,700 --> 01:02:00,300
one of those things man.
Yeah, I mean you know you always
1063
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:03,600
have those Hometown Heroes that
you kind of looked up to and
1064
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:09,400
respected and you know he was
kind of He was that era that
1065
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:14,000
ushered in the, you know, the
best team that Halifax County
1066
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,400
has ever had, he was kind of, he
was the Dwight Vic of that
1067
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,400
situation.
He kind of laid the groundwork
1068
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:26,100
and then you know, you reach
that height in 1999 so he wasn't
1069
01:02:26,100 --> 01:02:31,500
like that for us and he was
there when Fred Palmore was the
1070
01:02:31,500 --> 01:02:35,000
head coach.
And then, you know, there was
1071
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:41,300
there were some gains there.
and, you know, I look back and
1072
01:02:41,500 --> 01:02:47,000
like I said, he was one of the
guys that we were kind of We
1073
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:51,000
point to say, okay, well they
came from here, you know, when
1074
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,700
you're from Halifax County,
small school relative to a lot
1075
01:02:55,700 --> 01:02:58,700
of the teams that we were
playing at the time and
1076
01:02:58,700 --> 01:03:03,600
definitely one of the more rural
schools in those districts.
1077
01:03:04,900 --> 01:03:07,400
You know, you kind of look to
guys like that and say, hey if
1078
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,700
he can make it out, if he can do
those big things, you know,
1079
01:03:09,700 --> 01:03:14,900
maybe I can too.
So really sad, really, really,
1080
01:03:14,900 --> 01:03:20,300
really, really That situation,
but prayers, and thoughts to his
1081
01:03:20,300 --> 01:03:25,200
family and to the community.
Absolutely.
1082
01:03:25,300 --> 01:03:27,400
All right, before we get into
Know, The Enemy pit.
1083
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,500
We're going to take a quick
pause from our digital Partners
1084
01:03:31,300 --> 01:03:36,700
so now we move on to pit and we
go too.
1085
01:03:36,900 --> 01:03:39,300
Well, Heinz Field.
It's also me Heinz Field.
1086
01:03:39,300 --> 01:03:44,500
I don't care what the new name
Max for sure Stadium Hans and we
1087
01:03:44,500 --> 01:03:48,300
take a look at At the Pitt
Panthers coming off.
1088
01:03:48,300 --> 01:03:51,200
A loss to Georgia Tech, which I
didn't.
1089
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,200
I know that game was only a cc
Network.
1090
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,200
I'm here, in the cave.
Saturday night, we're watching a
1091
01:03:55,200 --> 01:04:00,800
movie, I got games going on, and
I got somebody texting me, like,
1092
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,500
my cousin from South Carolina.
Text me like, he'll spit doing
1093
01:04:03,500 --> 01:04:05,000
Georgia Tech.
And I was, like, what the hell
1094
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,000
do you mean?
I look down, and it's like,
1095
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,200
they're winning is like, what
the hell?
1096
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,500
Yep, I agree with that, Robbie
100%.
1097
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,600
All right, so we're going to
look at them.
1098
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:15,600
I'm going to start.
Let's talk.
1099
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:24,900
Kieron slow is the quarterback.
He is a USC transfer to pit when
1100
01:04:24,900 --> 01:04:30,000
he came out in 2019.
He was a three star quarterback,
1101
01:04:30,100 --> 01:04:33,000
go to USC.
If you don't recall, he did take
1102
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,500
over the starting job from
another guy.
1103
01:04:34,500 --> 01:04:38,400
We saw this year, JT Daniels,
where he had a really good 2019
1104
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,700
season where he threw for 30
touchdowns nine interceptions so
1105
01:04:41,700 --> 01:04:44,300
far this season been kind of
steady Eddie right at 1,000
1106
01:04:44,300 --> 01:04:52,200
yards, five five TVs to pics.
What are we seeing on slovis
1107
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:53,700
right now?
Because this was a kind of a big
1108
01:04:53,700 --> 01:04:57,000
pickup for them on a in the
transfer portal this year,
1109
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,200
Braun.
Yeah, you know, we're seeing
1110
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,500
some similar things that we saw
from him in 2020.
1111
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,100
Sorry, 2021 with the was slovis
there.
1112
01:05:08,100 --> 01:05:11,700
He's a pro ready in terms of his
accuracy and pocket awareness,
1113
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,000
really good at reading defenses
and pretty regularly.
1114
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,800
He gets through those
progressions, functional
1115
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,100
athleticism, in terms of
escaping the pocket, but he
1116
01:05:22,100 --> 01:05:25,200
typically only scrambles the
kind of by time to pass or get
1117
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,300
rid of the football.
He's not trying to scramble for
1118
01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:30,000
first downs.
Like we saw Drake may do last
1119
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:36,300
week, he has functional arm
strength but so you can make all
1120
01:05:36,300 --> 01:05:38,600
the throws but he's not a guy
that's going to press it down.
1121
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:42,800
Feel consistently and he will
occasionally lock onto his
1122
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,300
primary read when he's pressured
consistent.
1123
01:05:45,300 --> 01:05:46,800
So we can get some pressure on
him.
1124
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,600
We can potentially get into
situations where he's making
1125
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,200
some bad choices with the
football.
1126
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,300
How did he look against the
blitz?
1127
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:55,900
Because I think that's the way
you're going to.
1128
01:05:55,900 --> 01:05:58,100
Probably I think we're going to
probably have to live and die by
1129
01:05:58,300 --> 01:06:01,000
That the rest of the season?
Yeah.
1130
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:05,100
And I think the way they
operate, they are not an air a,
1131
01:06:05,100 --> 01:06:07,800
they're not an RPO.
There's some elements that they
1132
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,400
have in their offense but
they're more, they're more
1133
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,000
multiple, they're more
pro-style.
1134
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,400
We're going to have
opportunities if we can slow
1135
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:18,400
their running game down, where
we can get after him and cause
1136
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:22,300
him some problems.
All right, so good deal there
1137
01:06:22,300 --> 01:06:23,400
again.
Slow, this is a good
1138
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,700
quarterback.
I'm not gonna knock him at that
1139
01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:30,700
whatsoever, but as someone he's
not what Kenny Pickett was in
1140
01:06:30,700 --> 01:06:34,100
his 18th year, which you know,
now, Kate biggest transition to
1141
01:06:34,100 --> 01:06:39,900
the league, Kenny had a great
Sunday, Brian, a no balls of his
1142
01:06:39,900 --> 01:06:41,600
hit the ground.
Yeah.
1143
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,300
Fortunately, through her to the
other team.
1144
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,800
Yeah, it's one of those.
One of those weird games where
1145
01:06:48,700 --> 01:06:51,100
You know you complete everything
just you know some of them
1146
01:06:51,100 --> 01:06:53,500
didn't go the right way for you.
Yeah.
1147
01:06:54,500 --> 01:06:56,500
All right, let's take a look.
Now we're going to look at two
1148
01:06:56,500 --> 01:06:58,600
of their running guys because
the first guy we're going to
1149
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,100
talk about here.
Israel, Abaddon.
1150
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:05,900
The conda has been banged up
recently, so not sure if we're
1151
01:07:05,900 --> 01:07:08,100
going to see him before.
I wanted to take a look at both
1152
01:07:08,100 --> 01:07:11,100
because obviously, we don't talk
about one.
1153
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:17,600
The guy will still show up
Israel for Star Prospect when he
1154
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:21,700
came out in 20 from Brooklyn,
New York Abraham, Lincoln High
1155
01:07:21,700 --> 01:07:23,400
School.
The number one player, in the
1156
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:29,800
state of New York and top 200
player on 24/7 and you know so
1157
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:34,900
far in his career you know,
solid numbers you know just
1158
01:07:34,900 --> 01:07:39,600
under 250 attempts right over
twelve hundred fifty yards since
1159
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,300
2020 had a solid season last
year.
1160
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,700
We're going to talk about a
second one but let's talk about
1161
01:07:45,700 --> 01:07:49,000
Israel up front.
What's he bringing to the Table
1162
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,000
as far as it goes with their
running back room.
1163
01:07:51,700 --> 01:07:54,200
Yeah, it is.
He's an experienced back with
1164
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,200
really good speed.
He's really excellent at hitting
1165
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:01,000
the home, run when he gets to
that second level, great, second
1166
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:06,100
level Vision, I'd give him only
an average grade at the first
1167
01:08:06,100 --> 01:08:10,200
level.
He's you'll get in there, but if
1168
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:12,300
you can stop him at the first
level, you're going to kind of
1169
01:08:12,308 --> 01:08:14,300
keep him in check.
But if he gets to that second
1170
01:08:14,300 --> 01:08:18,399
level he is a big big Factor.
He's not really a threat.
1171
01:08:18,500 --> 01:08:20,600
The receiving game Beyond check
Downs.
1172
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:21,800
They don't do a whole lot with
him.
1173
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:25,800
In the screen game, they don't
send him on those wheels or
1174
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,500
anything like that very
consistently occasionally, he'll
1175
01:08:28,500 --> 01:08:31,800
flare out, he'll catch something
like that, but primarily, he's
1176
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,600
going to be a check down threat
in the passing game.
1177
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:39,800
But again, his big abilities
that home run home, run threat,
1178
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:41,899
when he gets the second and
third level the defense.
1179
01:08:43,500 --> 01:08:46,800
And I know we were talking about
when we chatted this week.
1180
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,100
You were saying the guy.
You feel like it's the best of
1181
01:08:49,100 --> 01:08:52,000
the guy that's currently out in
Rodney ham and Junior, but when
1182
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:56,100
his he got banged up, they
brought in Vincent Davis, who's
1183
01:08:56,100 --> 01:09:00,300
getting some more run, a 3 star
out of Cardinal, Gibbons High
1184
01:09:00,300 --> 01:09:03,800
School in Fort Lauderdale
Florida and the 2019 class.
1185
01:09:05,300 --> 01:09:06,800
What are they showing with
Davis?
1186
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,399
Kind of a smaller back at 58
about 175 pounds.
1187
01:09:10,500 --> 01:09:12,100
What's he doing for the pit
offense?
1188
01:09:12,100 --> 01:09:15,899
If he's going to be the primary
guy, Saturday afternoon, Yeah,
1189
01:09:15,899 --> 01:09:18,300
he's a little bit more steady
Eddie in terms of his production
1190
01:09:18,300 --> 01:09:21,899
whereas is he's definitely more
of a boom and bust tight back.
1191
01:09:21,899 --> 01:09:25,500
If he's not breaking a big one,
usually it's a modest gain.
1192
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:30,500
Davis could kind of hit off
those, you know, 8 to 15 yarders
1193
01:09:30,500 --> 01:09:33,899
a little more consistently and
that's mainly because he's more
1194
01:09:33,899 --> 01:09:36,500
of a threat on the edge than he
is between the tackles.
1195
01:09:36,500 --> 01:09:39,500
So when he gets, when he gets to
the edge, he's getting some
1196
01:09:39,500 --> 01:09:43,200
consistent garbage there and
he's kind of a good change of
1197
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:47,399
back, change of pace.
But into what, what is he does?
1198
01:09:47,399 --> 01:09:50,700
Well, and gives a little bit of
extra wiggle at the line of
1199
01:09:50,700 --> 01:09:54,600
scrimmage and they do use him a
little bit more in the passing
1200
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:59,400
game than they do ab Anaconda.
So you can look for that as
1201
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:00,600
well.
And his role definitely
1202
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,000
increased when when riding
Hammond went down and I think
1203
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:09,200
Hammonds probably the most
balanced of the three, he's he's
1204
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:15,000
really good at kind of getting
those those hard yards but he
1205
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,100
Also a guy that when he gets the
second level, he can hurt you
1206
01:10:18,100 --> 01:10:20,100
for it for a big run.
Yeah.
1207
01:10:20,100 --> 01:10:25,400
And Vincent Davis, the last two
games which was against Rhode
1208
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,800
Island and obviously the loss
against Georgia Tech.
1209
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,000
You know, 22 carries 131 yards
on the ground with a touchdown.
1210
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,600
You mentioned the receiving
threat Brian six, receptions 48
1211
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:40,600
yards.
So obviously it's kind of weird
1212
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,400
to look at those two games but
what they were doing is kind of
1213
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:46,700
balancing and everything.
So he does have that Potential
1214
01:10:46,700 --> 01:10:51,700
Threat.
I hope he's the guy versus Izzy
1215
01:10:52,100 --> 01:10:57,300
this week or there may be trying
to get Izzy back because the one
1216
01:10:57,300 --> 01:11:01,400
thing I don't think we can the
team and our team, in general
1217
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,400
can't hold.
Is someone breaking a big one?
1218
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,200
For a touchdown?
We saw how much that hurt
1219
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,100
against you and see when they
hit, what the the tide in seam
1220
01:11:08,100 --> 01:11:10,700
route and some of the other
deeper place.
1221
01:11:10,900 --> 01:11:14,600
So a team that we can keep in
front of us, Please we can come
1222
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,600
in front of us, is gonna
definitely be big now, talking
1223
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:21,100
about keeping in front of you,
one guy we do need to worry
1224
01:11:21,100 --> 01:11:27,300
about in the outside is Jared
Wayne six-foot-three 210-pound.
1225
01:11:27,300 --> 01:11:31,300
He is a big bodied wide receiver
so far this year, nineteen
1226
01:11:31,300 --> 01:11:37,100
receptions 354 yards averaging
right at 19 perception and when
1227
01:11:37,100 --> 01:11:41,900
he came out Clearwater Florida a
very low three star.
1228
01:11:41,900 --> 01:11:46,600
So Something we talked about
give put the credit they develop
1229
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,300
guys, they developed guys into
being good Collegiate players
1230
01:11:49,300 --> 01:11:53,200
and believe it or not.
Primary recruiter remember this
1231
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:57,100
name?
Kevin Sherman, old wide receiver
1232
01:11:57,100 --> 01:12:01,800
coach what are you seeing with
him on tape in this?
1233
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:05,000
He the guy that heat on will
lock on.
1234
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:12,800
Sometimes he is the guy that he
will like on often uses him as
1235
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:15,000
their primary.
Receiving threat a and kind of
1236
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:20,100
as a safety blanket.
So he is their primary target,
1237
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:25,000
mostly it intermediate-range
threat a lot of stuff in that 15
1238
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:31,100
to 25 yard range for him will
usually have at least, at least
1239
01:12:31,100 --> 01:12:38,100
125 yard, plus catch a game.
So, he will have an occasional
1240
01:12:38,500 --> 01:12:42,200
deep ball.
That goes his way that can burn
1241
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:45,600
us in one play.
But he's more of a stick.
1242
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,900
Mover and a mister, real
reliable for slovis.
1243
01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:52,800
He's the guy that he's going to
look for to kind of move the
1244
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:57,100
sticks that they're in those
third and long and medium
1245
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:00,800
situations.
All right, another name to keep
1246
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:05,200
an eye on is be kannada, mum
failed in the rod receiver room.
1247
01:13:05,500 --> 01:13:08,100
He is leading the team
interception as he put a really
1248
01:13:08,100 --> 01:13:11,600
good to put probably his second
best game together against
1249
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:16,100
Georgia Tech.
You know, did you see month?
1250
01:13:16,100 --> 01:13:17,900
L don't take this.
He is either slot guy.
1251
01:13:17,900 --> 01:13:22,800
Or is he there?
Why They move him around but he
1252
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:25,900
primarily Works underneath.
He's a lot of the short stuff,
1253
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,700
okay, makes sense average in
right at 10:10 of pop.
1254
01:13:29,700 --> 01:13:32,200
So makes sense.
They're all right.
1255
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:33,800
Ron, you've kind of mentioned it
already.
1256
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,200
Let's hear a little bit about
Their Own Line in this offensive
1257
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,000
scheme.
Yeah.
1258
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:43,200
It's a multiple pro-style
attack, a lot more balance this
1259
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:48,000
year and then we've seen with
Whipple now that we got cignetti
1260
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,600
they're calling the offense
They?
1261
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,800
They run the ball a whole lot
more than I think we're used to
1262
01:13:57,500 --> 01:14:01,500
from a, from a pit attack.
They are more tight in heavy
1263
01:14:01,700 --> 01:14:04,500
than we've seen recently
although they don't use them a
1264
01:14:04,500 --> 01:14:06,200
ton As Weapons.
There, they're definitely in
1265
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:09,600
there for blocking they'll use a
fullback, they got a heavy
1266
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:13,800
package with a bringing an extra
offensive lineman so they really
1267
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:18,400
are kind of a little bit more
old school in terms of how they
1268
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:22,800
like to attack a defense and
they've got a veteran line that
1269
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:24,200
can be dominant.
Times.
1270
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,100
But they can also be confused
and overwhelmed the pressure.
1271
01:14:28,100 --> 01:14:30,900
So I think that's probably how
we're going to attack them is
1272
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:35,500
try to get them kind of off
their game by run blitzes and
1273
01:14:35,500 --> 01:14:39,000
bringing some pressure on those
long down and distances.
1274
01:14:40,300 --> 01:14:41,500
Yeah.
Absolutely.
1275
01:14:41,700 --> 01:14:45,000
They are running a lot more than
they had in the past.
1276
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,700
You know, last year they were
pretty balanced team this year.
1277
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:53,400
They're 60/40 against the run so
but I think that's who know DZ
1278
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,200
is As though, I think if he sees
that he doesn't quite have the
1279
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,700
talent, he'll play his brand of
Defense, which you know, we're
1280
01:14:59,700 --> 01:15:03,400
about to talk about here and
sort of the cars where they fall
1281
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:08,000
and that's, that's it's been in
the past and we've been the
1282
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:09,700
beneficiary, that's why they
lose some games.
1283
01:15:09,700 --> 01:15:13,100
Sometimes he does get into a
conservative shell, but let's
1284
01:15:13,100 --> 01:15:16,000
talk about the defense.
And let's talk about kind of the
1285
01:15:16,100 --> 01:15:18,700
man in the middle guy.
We talked about, I feel like
1286
01:15:18,700 --> 01:15:22,300
multiple times since we've
started this podcast, so, how
1287
01:15:22,300 --> 01:15:28,700
long has he been here?
Cerveza, Dennis the six-foot-one
1288
01:15:29,500 --> 01:15:35,700
230-pound linebacker, 2019 Class
A to store out of the state of
1289
01:15:35,700 --> 01:15:37,200
New York.
They've definitely developed
1290
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:43,600
into a very solid Collegiate
linebacker and what's the tape
1291
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:48,700
looking like with him run?
Yeah, I mean we've seen service
1292
01:15:48,700 --> 01:15:52,500
a dentist now for a while, he
does a really good job attacking
1293
01:15:52,500 --> 01:15:55,300
the Gap.
He's used heavily in the Blitz
1294
01:15:55,300 --> 01:15:57,100
game.
They'll send him up the middle
1295
01:15:57,100 --> 01:15:58,700
to send him off the edge.
With some lines.
1296
01:15:58,700 --> 01:16:03,500
Stunts does a good job of using
his hands to shed blockers and
1297
01:16:03,500 --> 01:16:07,100
is great in Pursuit.
He can get picked on and
1298
01:16:07,100 --> 01:16:09,500
coverage though.
Especially when he's in the zone
1299
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:13,300
he looks really really hesitant.
A lot of times when he's in zone
1300
01:16:13,300 --> 01:16:17,200
coverage, when he's able to get
a kind of more single In man
1301
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:18,600
coverage he does a little bit
better.
1302
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:22,200
He does have that athleticism
but he looks a little lost in
1303
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:26,800
zone from time to time.
And with that being said, you
1304
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,900
know, he can get influence with
some misdirection, some window
1305
01:16:29,900 --> 01:16:32,300
dressing and things like that,
that'll get him out of position.
1306
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:35,500
All right.
Yeah.
1307
01:16:35,500 --> 01:16:39,800
Now as far as it goes, he is,
you know, one of their better
1308
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:44,200
tacklers, you know, the guys
already got 38 tackles and, you
1309
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,700
know, five games for tackles for
Lost some sacks.
1310
01:16:48,500 --> 01:16:51,400
What are those sacks of those
sacks coverage sex, or are they
1311
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,800
using them on a blitz?
You already see?
1312
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:55,800
Yeah.
They just want to blend pretty
1313
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:56,900
pretty regularly.
Yeah.
1314
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,800
Sorry, I'm telling you all.
My head is murdering me right
1315
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:04,100
now.
All right, let's flip over next
1316
01:17:04,100 --> 01:17:05,900
guy.
You want to talk about as a guy
1317
01:17:06,100 --> 01:17:09,300
at the back end.
And that's effort Khalid, the
1318
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:14,500
the five foot eleven 195-pound
defensive back out of Cypress,
1319
01:17:14,500 --> 01:17:18,600
Texas.
A three-star when he came out in
1320
01:17:18,700 --> 01:17:25,400
2018, and so far this year, you
know, 18 tackles couple
1321
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:29,700
interceptions to fumble,
recoveries five pass breakups.
1322
01:17:31,100 --> 01:17:33,700
They using them a lot in zone
brown, or they kind of mix and
1323
01:17:33,700 --> 01:17:37,100
matching with him.
Mix-and-match he's really good
1324
01:17:37,100 --> 01:17:41,800
at man coverage though in you
know when they're bringing those
1325
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:44,400
prep, those pressures, a lot of
times you will get locked up in
1326
01:17:44,407 --> 01:17:46,300
man coverage usually on the
tight end.
1327
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,900
Sorry on the slot opposite, the
tight end and he's really good
1328
01:17:50,900 --> 01:17:55,500
at diagnosing and attacking the
short stuff behind the line of
1329
01:17:55,508 --> 01:17:57,500
scrimmage.
Passing game things like that.
1330
01:17:57,500 --> 01:18:02,100
He'll get in there, get the
tackle for loss, not afraid to
1331
01:18:02,100 --> 01:18:07,000
bring a little Lumber.
But just like Dennis, he can be
1332
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:12,000
influence with the play-action,
the RPO, the misdirection, when
1333
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,100
he's in zone coverage.
So that that's an area where we
1334
01:18:14,100 --> 01:18:16,100
might be able to take advantage
when they're not bringing
1335
01:18:16,100 --> 01:18:21,600
pressure.
All right, let's go to the
1336
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,700
defensive line.
There's one guy that kind of
1337
01:18:23,708 --> 01:18:27,000
caught your, I was expecting to
see you put two defensive
1338
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:30,400
lineman on your run down when
you send it over to me.
1339
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:33,600
But you only put one collage of
can't see.
1340
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:39,200
The 6-foot 275 pound defensive
lineman out of Northwestern High
1341
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:42,300
School in Miami, Florida.
A three-star when he came out in
1342
01:18:42,300 --> 01:18:47,700
2019 so far this year, 19
tackles seven and a half
1343
01:18:47,700 --> 01:18:50,500
percent.
Lost three sacks.
1344
01:18:51,300 --> 01:18:53,400
Where is he?
Promised he playing Brian.
1345
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:55,000
And what is he bringing to the
table?
1346
01:18:56,200 --> 01:19:00,300
Yeah, he's primarily the the to
eye on this four-man front.
1347
01:19:00,700 --> 01:19:03,800
He brings an elite combination
of strength and athleticism
1348
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:08,100
graded penetrating at the snap
sheds, blockers.
1349
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:12,400
Well, in the Run game has a
really great motor as a pass
1350
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:16,600
rusher, but he does rely a lot
on his physical tools when
1351
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:20,600
rushing the passer.
So if you can slow his initial
1352
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:24,700
Birds, he doesn't really have a
secondary move other than just,
1353
01:19:24,700 --> 01:19:27,500
you know, keeping going and
eventually trying to work his
1354
01:19:27,500 --> 01:19:31,100
way to the quarterbacks, you
know, that's an area where, if
1355
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:34,200
we can get a, get a good punch,
keep our feet moving in front of
1356
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:37,900
the in front of him.
We can potentially slow him down
1357
01:19:37,900 --> 01:19:43,200
a little bit.
But you know, I really like what
1358
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,300
he brings to the table.
He's going to be a handful for
1359
01:19:45,300 --> 01:19:47,900
sure.
Who do you primarily see match?
1360
01:19:48,100 --> 01:19:49,800
That puts him Saturday on our
lawn.
1361
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:55,600
I mean it's going to be a lot of
that interior there man is going
1362
01:19:55,600 --> 01:20:00,800
to be Jessie, Jonny and Caden,
okay?
1363
01:20:01,500 --> 01:20:07,100
Usually I mean it's going to
depend on the strength like I
1364
01:20:07,108 --> 01:20:12,200
said, he's using that to eye
rolls, so he'll be Beyond
1365
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:16,800
Johnny's played a good deal with
all those those gaps games where
1366
01:20:16,808 --> 01:20:20,000
he's blocking back against the
to.
1367
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,300
I all right.
Awesome.
1368
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,600
Let's flip back, let's go back
to the secondary for one more
1369
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:27,000
player.
You wanted to talk about and
1370
01:20:27,008 --> 01:20:30,600
that's Brandon Hill, a five
foot, eleven hundred ninety five
1371
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:36,800
pound defensive back another
Florida kit, 3 star out of Kiva
1372
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:42,100
high school and a polka.
Florida, 2019 class so far this
1373
01:20:42,100 --> 01:20:47,300
year, we're taking a look at him
and we, you know, 32 tackles
1374
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:53,500
Only one past deflection brine.
I am assuming he's the strong
1375
01:20:53,500 --> 01:20:56,700
safety yet.
Strong safety.
1376
01:20:56,700 --> 01:20:58,600
Actually the fastest player on
the team.
1377
01:20:58,900 --> 01:21:04,400
Okay.
Sub for for Speed they got him
1378
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:08,700
routinely matched up against the
tight end or the outside slot
1379
01:21:08,700 --> 01:21:13,400
slot guy in man coverage, really
great in Pursuit.
1380
01:21:13,500 --> 01:21:18,900
He covers a lot of ground really
quickly he does I will sometimes
1381
01:21:18,900 --> 01:21:22,900
when he's accounted for by a
blocker so he doesn't do a good
1382
01:21:22,900 --> 01:21:25,500
job of getting off of blocks
very well, especially when it's
1383
01:21:25,500 --> 01:21:28,000
coming from a tight end or a
lineman.
1384
01:21:29,100 --> 01:21:32,200
And and he also can be influence
with that.
1385
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,000
With that play action, there are
P of the misdirection stuff.
1386
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:41,400
They primarily use him in the
Run game and they also will use
1387
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:45,800
them a lot in the zone.
And man, so they mix and match
1388
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:46,600
them a lot.
Again.
1389
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:50,100
Everybody on this team is going
to I have to have to have some,
1390
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,900
some degree of man coverage in
their belt because of how much
1391
01:21:52,900 --> 01:21:56,000
pressure they bring.
All right, that makes sense.
1392
01:21:56,100 --> 01:21:59,500
Now, when you talk about saying
he's covering her, he does well
1393
01:21:59,500 --> 01:22:02,500
covering the tight end and
retaining matched up.
1394
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:05,800
Is it one of those things where
he's maybe more playing a shadow
1395
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:08,700
and just using that athleticism
to, they're going to make the
1396
01:22:08,708 --> 01:22:10,800
catch, but when they make the
catch, I'm going to turn the
1397
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:12,400
Jets on get there and get them
down.
1398
01:22:14,500 --> 01:22:17,600
Yeah, I mean he does a good job
of kind of like I said, closing
1399
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,400
that Gap.
He doesn't really do a whole lot
1400
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,800
of Smashing of the Titans.
It's usually not in zone.
1401
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,500
It's usually in this man
coverage is and he does a good
1402
01:22:26,500 --> 01:22:29,600
job of staying on his man and
closing the Gap.
1403
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:33,100
So you might get the completion,
but you're not going to get a
1404
01:22:33,108 --> 01:22:34,700
lot of those yards after the
catch.
1405
01:22:35,100 --> 01:22:36,000
Got it.
All right.
1406
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,600
Let's do a quick.
High level view of the scheme
1407
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:44,400
here with a patent are doozies.
425 Yeah, I mean, it's attacking
1408
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:47,100
425.
We've seen it for years now.
1409
01:22:47,700 --> 01:22:53,700
It's very familiar to Hokies.
You know, they'll be bringing
1410
01:22:53,700 --> 01:22:56,900
pressure consistently especially
if we don't establish a run
1411
01:22:56,900 --> 01:23:00,900
game, if they feel like they can
tee off on us and make Grant
1412
01:23:00,900 --> 01:23:02,700
Wells have to make a play,
that's what they're going to do.
1413
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:08,600
And they probably will.
Yeah, so they pursue really well
1414
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:11,400
as a unit in the running game
and they flow to the point of
1415
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:15,500
attack very quickly.
So, you got to be getting to
1416
01:23:15,500 --> 01:23:19,700
your spot, staying on your
blocks because they will flow to
1417
01:23:19,700 --> 01:23:21,600
the ball and create some Havoc
there.
1418
01:23:22,900 --> 01:23:25,200
But as I said with the
individual players as a team
1419
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,400
defense, they can also be
susceptible to play action RPO
1420
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,600
and misdirection.
So I imagine that we're going to
1421
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:36,300
probably have some of that in
our pocket this week and since
1422
01:23:36,300 --> 01:23:38,500
they bring pressure a lot
they're running a lot of man.
1423
01:23:38,700 --> 01:23:41,700
So we're going to eventually
have to have to get some where
1424
01:23:41,700 --> 01:23:46,300
we beat them. 20 yards plus down
the field to keep them.
1425
01:23:46,300 --> 01:23:49,000
Honest.
Absolutely.
1426
01:23:49,300 --> 01:23:51,700
And they're especially
susceptible to that if you know
1427
01:23:51,700 --> 01:23:55,300
the pressure doesn't get home a
free order to be sure up front.
1428
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,000
Give Grant a good pocket.
That's only going to make it
1429
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,600
harder on the back end for them
to hold up in that man coverage.
1430
01:24:00,900 --> 01:24:01,800
Yeah.
All right.
1431
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:04,000
So let's flip it over to know
the enemy and the Hokies keys.
1432
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,500
And I think Brian, that's one of
the first things we look at,
1433
01:24:06,500 --> 01:24:09,500
right?
It's how do we take on the
1434
01:24:09,500 --> 01:24:12,200
pressure?
And not only how we take on the
1435
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,600
pressure up front.
But can Tyler Bowen, where
1436
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:18,900
you've seen them scheme, some
guys open, can he find the soft
1437
01:24:18,900 --> 01:24:22,600
spots getting find where they're
coming from and can grant Wells
1438
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,100
get there?
How key is that going to be?
1439
01:24:25,100 --> 01:24:27,900
Because if you tell me, you
know, overall pass Pros been
1440
01:24:27,900 --> 01:24:32,200
solid, not spectacular, but very
solid, but if we're able to slow
1441
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:37,200
them up, when they bring the
pressure, Is I mean, is this the
1442
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,800
game where Grant Wells is, got
to take that step where it
1443
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:41,900
listen, there's going to be
voided areas.
1444
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:44,500
You've got to know where their
boarding, and you've got to get
1445
01:24:44,500 --> 01:24:47,400
it there because we have the
opportunity to break Place.
1446
01:24:48,900 --> 01:24:50,300
Yeah.
And some of this is going to be
1447
01:24:50,300 --> 01:24:55,400
about understanding, you know,
where the where the man coverage
1448
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:59,100
is and where the mismatch in man
coverage is and being able to
1449
01:24:59,100 --> 01:25:02,900
diagnose that before the snap
that way.
1450
01:25:02,900 --> 01:25:09,500
If if you know, That you got a
mismatch somewhere in, further
1451
01:25:09,500 --> 01:25:13,400
down your progression, you know,
you can come off of your primary
1452
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,400
if it's not there, right out the
gate and know that you probably
1453
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,600
have a mismatch on your
secondary read.
1454
01:25:19,300 --> 01:25:21,300
So, that's that's what you he's
gonna have to work on
1455
01:25:21,300 --> 01:25:24,400
identifying this week and that
might help him take advantage of
1456
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:26,900
some of the Yards that we've
been leaving out on the field.
1457
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,600
All right, I think another key
this week, Brian, and we saw you
1458
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:33,500
get cleaned up again is
penalties.
1459
01:25:34,500 --> 01:25:40,400
You know, the UNC game.
I think it was 34 22 and one was
1460
01:25:40,500 --> 01:25:45,100
very early with Silas with the
false start but it was overall,
1461
01:25:45,100 --> 01:25:50,900
we played a very clean game and
I think to have any In you.
1462
01:25:51,500 --> 01:25:54,700
And then, you know we look at
Pitt hits on the bottom side
1463
01:25:54,700 --> 01:25:58,200
with us, right?
Yeah. 84th in the country,
1464
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,700
averaging over 60 yards per game
on the penalty.
1465
01:26:01,700 --> 01:26:06,800
So if we can do what we did last
week and they are there normal
1466
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:10,100
cells, maybe we can gain a few
advantages in the middle of his
1467
01:26:10,100 --> 01:26:13,900
apartment.
Yeah, I think if we continue to
1468
01:26:13,907 --> 01:26:18,300
clean things up but also play
better, right?
1469
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:22,800
I think ya can ratchet up our
play but still keep it clean.
1470
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,200
The think that's important
because I think, you know, our
1471
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:28,000
defense has played two good
games where they were penalized
1472
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,300
a lot.
Yeah, we need to have the, the
1473
01:26:31,300 --> 01:26:33,600
good without the bad.
Yeah.
1474
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,600
If we can do that, I think we've
got something that we can work
1475
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,400
with in this game.
Now I'm going to say a point
1476
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,000
goes back to our first show,
Kiki, those taken deep shot.
1477
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:48,200
We know that patent are doozies.
Defensive backs are handsy, they
1478
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:49,600
like to grab.
They like the pool.
1479
01:26:49,900 --> 01:26:53,900
So I think you're thinking about
take some deep shots, it falls
1480
01:26:53,900 --> 01:26:56,300
right into that, get some
penalties on them.
1481
01:26:56,300 --> 01:26:59,700
Give them frustrated, the all
remember, 2016.
1482
01:26:59,700 --> 01:27:02,500
And what an enjoyable treat that
was that night.
1483
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,800
As they could not stop a fade or
down bill passed.
1484
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:09,200
And they had like nine penalties
and he lost his mind and I think
1485
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:12,200
it's I think it's something else
that we're Caleb.
1486
01:27:12,300 --> 01:27:16,400
Actually in, you know, maybe
look at Jalen Jones as we saw
1487
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:17,700
him seen him.
Go up.
1488
01:27:17,700 --> 01:27:21,100
Maybe Daquan, right?
Say screw it, go down the
1489
01:27:21,100 --> 01:27:24,700
sidelines and just throw it up.
We know they get handsy.
1490
01:27:24,700 --> 01:27:28,300
If it looks bad enough, we may
be able to take advantage of
1491
01:27:28,300 --> 01:27:30,900
their aggressiveness.
I came to take advantage of
1492
01:27:30,900 --> 01:27:36,400
ours, make a throw that gives
your guy a chance to get it, but
1493
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:41,100
isn't going to be a pic if they
don't 100%.
1494
01:27:41,100 --> 01:27:44,100
All right, something I'm gonna
kind of call out the defense
1495
01:27:44,100 --> 01:27:47,000
for.
We've got a for some turnovers
1496
01:27:47,500 --> 01:27:51,900
we have to the games, we have
forced turnovers in think about
1497
01:27:51,900 --> 01:27:54,400
the PC game, that early
turnover, set the momentum.
1498
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:59,300
We are 115 in the country and
forcing turnovers.
1499
01:27:59,300 --> 01:28:04,900
We only had 4 for the year.
And in his aggressive as we've
1500
01:28:04,900 --> 01:28:11,500
been, we know this default fence
need short Fields, so any sort
1501
01:28:11,500 --> 01:28:14,200
of thing like that.
And it's, and it's sort of crazy
1502
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:17,300
because, you know, we saw the
West Virginia game with the
1503
01:28:17,300 --> 01:28:19,600
forced turnover Midfield.
We did nothing with and then
1504
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:23,800
obviously the DC gain we ended
up scoring but Is it one of
1505
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:28,500
those things is this the week
where those prying the defense
1506
01:28:28,500 --> 01:28:31,400
say listen, we got to take
risks.
1507
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,800
We've got to take some high-risk
to forced turnover.
1508
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:37,200
So if you think you see a ball
that's going to be thrown
1509
01:28:37,300 --> 01:28:40,900
jumping?
Because right now it's sort of
1510
01:28:41,700 --> 01:28:46,500
we're not Death By A Thousand
Cuts because the cuts are bigger
1511
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:48,800
but that's the way we're losing
games, right?
1512
01:28:50,500 --> 01:28:52,700
Yeah, but I think you still want
you want to still play Within
1513
01:28:52,700 --> 01:28:57,900
the scheme of the defense, okay.
So I think you want to, you
1514
01:28:57,900 --> 01:29:01,800
know, I think prior might dial
up some more consistent pressure
1515
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,500
this week because he's going to
have the opportunity to, I think
1516
01:29:06,300 --> 01:29:10,500
if we can do anything to slow
down their running game, then
1517
01:29:10,500 --> 01:29:13,700
we've got some opportunities to
get them in bed down and
1518
01:29:13,700 --> 01:29:19,300
distances and they're not as
deadly as the last two teams.
1519
01:29:19,300 --> 01:29:21,200
We play.
In moving the sticks.
1520
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:26,100
Yeah, with that type of game
with the quick passing game,
1521
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,300
some of their things.
Take a little bit more time to
1522
01:29:28,300 --> 01:29:32,900
develop just the nature of the
offense, there will be some more
1523
01:29:32,900 --> 01:29:35,200
opportunities to get after the
quarterback.
1524
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:37,500
I think this week than we've
seen the last two weeks.
1525
01:29:38,100 --> 01:29:41,000
So I think you see the blitzes
get dialed up a lot more
1526
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:45,200
frequently and hopefully that
can you know, whether it's, you
1527
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:49,000
know forcing a fumble in the
back field, whether it's getting
1528
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:52,000
an interception And hopefully,
that'll, you know, we can come
1529
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,200
home with least two in our belt
this week.
1530
01:29:55,300 --> 01:29:58,100
Absolutely.
Last part of hokey Keys again.
1531
01:29:58,100 --> 01:30:00,800
I think seeing them on the depth
chart seen him warm up last
1532
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,000
week.
I think it's a potential return
1533
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:06,600
of Malachi Thomas park, because
the offense need something, they
1534
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:08,900
need something to look forward
to.
1535
01:30:08,900 --> 01:30:12,300
And I think having a guy like
malachite guy who's consistent
1536
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:16,000
come back on the field in
regardless of how many plays it
1537
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,900
is, I don't know how they're
going to get him back in.
1538
01:30:18,900 --> 01:30:22,400
I don't know how He is as far as
his conditioning us.
1539
01:30:23,300 --> 01:30:26,100
But you often see that sometimes
right?
1540
01:30:26,300 --> 01:30:29,000
One guy that well like that
people feel good that can make
1541
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:32,300
plays comes back.
All of a sudden, everybody feels
1542
01:30:32,300 --> 01:30:34,000
better.
Everybody focus is a little bit
1543
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:36,300
more.
Everybody done presses much and
1544
01:30:36,300 --> 01:30:39,600
the next thing you know the
three yard run is going eight.
1545
01:30:40,700 --> 01:30:44,100
The 8-yard runs going 28, you're
hitting a big play downfield.
1546
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:48,600
So I mean, maybe I'm just
looking at my room glasses but I
1547
01:30:48,608 --> 01:30:51,500
think I'm coming back.
Regardless on the field will be
1548
01:30:51,500 --> 01:30:54,200
a little spark to this team if
this is the weekend, which I
1549
01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:56,600
hope it.
It'll help.
1550
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,200
And like I said, I think it's
one of those little things where
1551
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:03,100
you know, things he can give you
is, you know, now one or two,
1552
01:31:03,100 --> 01:31:08,700
your game becomes a 5 or 6 yard
gain Now, you're not behind the
1553
01:31:08,708 --> 01:31:10,900
sticks.
Now, you're able to do a little
1554
01:31:10,900 --> 01:31:13,900
bit more with your offense, the
way you want to more
1555
01:31:13,900 --> 01:31:16,800
consistently.
So I don't think, I don't think
1556
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:19,800
it's going to be a big boost,
but I think it'll be it'll help
1557
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:22,100
you in a little ways.
They might add up to Big ways.
1558
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:27,900
Right?
So we'll see, you know, a lot of
1559
01:31:27,900 --> 01:31:30,200
this is going to depend on his,
his conditioning level.
1560
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:34,900
Is he going to be more of a, at
least this week, just a 325
1561
01:31:34,900 --> 01:31:38,400
series type type.
Or is it going to be something
1562
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:44,300
where, you know, we go ahead and
give him kind of to second man.
1563
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:46,500
Carries week one.
Yeah, we'll see.
1564
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:50,100
But if I'm hoping, he's able to
go and at least give us a little
1565
01:31:50,100 --> 01:31:52,500
something this week,
abso-freakin'-lutely.
1566
01:31:52,500 --> 01:31:53,100
All right.
Brian.
1567
01:31:53,100 --> 01:31:55,200
Well it's time.
Let's get our game predictions
1568
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:57,000
in here.
You let last week.
1569
01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:02,900
I'll leave this week.
I'm still not feeling great
1570
01:32:02,900 --> 01:32:06,500
about the team of still, it's
still tough for me to put a win
1571
01:32:06,500 --> 01:32:12,400
on the books until we see some
fundamental changes and things
1572
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:15,600
going in the right direction.
Do I think?
1573
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:18,400
This is a better ballad was last
week.
1574
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:22,600
Yeah, even though it coming off
a loss of Georgia Tech that it's
1575
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:28,300
inexplicable, I think the
familiarity with pit from Brent
1576
01:32:28,300 --> 01:32:32,100
Pride playing four times a You
know, folks on the staff playing
1577
01:32:32,100 --> 01:32:35,800
pick the last few years, I think
it's going to be a better game
1578
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:39,400
than last week.
I can't, I can't put us taking
1579
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,700
the win.
I think we lose somewhere, like,
1580
01:32:41,700 --> 01:32:44,100
3220.
I think it's a 10-point game.
1581
01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:48,100
I think it's a fight, and it's a
fight all the way.
1582
01:32:48,100 --> 01:32:52,400
I just think they get a little
bit of a head in the, you know,
1583
01:32:52,500 --> 01:32:55,800
the early third quarter, where
they keep us at bay where again,
1584
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:59,600
we don't have that capability to
make a couple of big plays.
1585
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:00,700
What?
Bout you.
1586
01:33:01,900 --> 01:33:10,400
I'm in the similar area I've got
us going 27:16 as the final, I
1587
01:33:10,407 --> 01:33:12,600
think we do a little bit better.
It read the ball.
1588
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:16,600
Consistently to get it into the
scoring range, but I think we
1589
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:19,000
still struggle to kind of get it
over the goal line.
1590
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:20,800
Like we like we've been
struggling recently.
1591
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:23,300
I think we get it in the scoring
area but we come away with three
1592
01:33:23,300 --> 01:33:25,900
a little bit more often than we
than we want to.
1593
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,800
But we put together a few more
drives that get us some points
1594
01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:31,600
this week.
We've seen the last few weeks.
1595
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:38,500
So I think it's going to be,
like I said, 27:16 pit does just
1596
01:33:38,500 --> 01:33:42,200
enough off fensively against our
defense to kind of put them over
1597
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:44,900
the top there at the end.
Yeah and we're hoping we're
1598
01:33:44,900 --> 01:33:48,200
wrong completely wrong.
Always what I hope is before the
1599
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:52,100
end of it.
All right for on big screeners
1600
01:33:52,300 --> 01:33:55,600
great great call last week on
the Ole Miss game got.
1601
01:33:57,300 --> 01:34:00,100
I'm not sure if you went to like
FanDuel or something in late.
1602
01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:02,000
Deadly.
I'm laying money line, and I'm
1603
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,000
laying this.
I wish I would have, man, you
1604
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:06,600
nailed it.
I would have been sweating.
1605
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:09,500
The whole way though, I would
even would have whole damn way.
1606
01:34:09,500 --> 01:34:13,200
What had been sweating?
The whole my game last week I
1607
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:16,800
was 11, that turnover deep is
what got?
1608
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:18,300
It's a 10-point game.
Probably should have been a
1609
01:34:18,300 --> 01:34:20,300
seven right into number four, a
push.
1610
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:23,100
But it is what it is.
What's your big screen this
1611
01:34:23,100 --> 01:34:25,000
week?
Obviously, this weekend is going
1612
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:28,500
to be a beautiful weekend.
To not sit inside.
1613
01:34:28,500 --> 01:34:30,300
So which one are you kind of
saying?
1614
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:36,000
Well, go out and do things here.
I'm going to go ahead and throw
1615
01:34:36,300 --> 01:34:40,000
that that Kansas TCU on my big
screen this week, buddy.
1616
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:43,000
All right.
That's, that's an intriguing
1617
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:49,000
matchup because you got TCU
Sunny Dykes has them rolling
1618
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:52,300
early.
Absolutely rolling offensively.
1619
01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:56,900
You know, then you got Kansas
that that's really kind of
1620
01:34:56,900 --> 01:35:01,600
turned and turned it around
after some real bad years for
1621
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:04,100
them.
So, you know, we'll see if
1622
01:35:04,100 --> 01:35:08,900
Kansas has the ability to take
that next step and beat a team
1623
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:12,900
that has put some good football
out there in recent years.
1624
01:35:12,900 --> 01:35:17,000
So I like that matchup.
It's a little bit of a different
1625
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,500
look.
I think so usually, don't see
1626
01:35:19,500 --> 01:35:23,500
TCU in Kansas in a in a prime
prime matchup game.
1627
01:35:23,500 --> 01:35:26,600
So now you don't have known her
going to be a high noon.
1628
01:35:26,700 --> 01:35:30,300
Our game day is going to be
there and now it's like only
1629
01:35:30,300 --> 01:35:34,600
five division are five power,
five schools that have never
1630
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,100
gotten.
The visit UVA is included in one
1631
01:35:37,100 --> 01:35:41,400
of those hands.
It's Kansas not set off.
1632
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:44,300
I like that game.
I'm probably not going to see
1633
01:35:44,300 --> 01:35:49,700
any of that game due to sports,
but I'm waiting until the
1634
01:35:49,700 --> 01:35:51,100
evening.
And there's a lot of rank
1635
01:35:51,100 --> 01:35:53,500
matchups this week.
I mean, you got that game,
1636
01:35:53,500 --> 01:35:56,500
you've got Tennessee LSU, as
there's a noon game.
1637
01:35:57,100 --> 01:36:00,800
You've got UT Utah UCLA.
You got Auburn Georgia.
1638
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:07,100
Oldest rivalry in the Deep
South, but, you know,
1639
01:36:07,100 --> 01:36:09,200
essentially a holy would be why,
you know, the name.
1640
01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:11,700
But I've got my hides going
around.
1641
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:15,400
And I want to know, if USC's a
real deal.
1642
01:36:15,700 --> 01:36:18,400
And I think they're going to get
a challenge this week with Wazoo
1643
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:21,300
coming into town to the
Coliseum. 7:30, so I will be
1644
01:36:21,300 --> 01:36:24,400
able to watch it.
That's also something that
1645
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,700
determines if I big screening if
I can be Brother double vision
1646
01:36:27,700 --> 01:36:33,500
to watch it.
And that line right now is 13
1647
01:36:33,500 --> 01:36:39,000
points.
Why zoos lost one game where
1648
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:43,600
Oregon scored 29 Points in 14
minutes and 50 seconds.
1649
01:36:44,900 --> 01:36:48,200
They should be five a note
because Oregon pull one out of
1650
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:53,200
the errors on that one.
I'm but I think this is a real
1651
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:55,900
test for u.s. you have AB you
have a balanced Washington State
1652
01:36:55,900 --> 01:36:58,000
team.
I mean their defense with the
1653
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,700
exception of that quarter has
played very well they want in a
1654
01:37:00,708 --> 01:37:05,800
tough environment so that's the
one I'm going to be watching.
1655
01:37:07,900 --> 01:37:10,700
Who do you think in your game?
You go in Kansas, you think, TC,
1656
01:37:10,700 --> 01:37:17,400
you texted?
I feel like TCU has the the
1657
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:22,700
better end of the talent
although I feel like Kansas has
1658
01:37:22,700 --> 01:37:25,400
just been playing with with a
little extra spark.
1659
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:30,000
So I've been leaning back and
forth.
1660
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:34,800
You know, the the frogs are, are
the favorite here by six points.
1661
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:41,700
I'm going to go what I did last
week, I'm going to take Kansas
1662
01:37:41,700 --> 01:37:44,500
in the points.
But I think TCU wins out, right?
1663
01:37:45,500 --> 01:37:51,000
All right, all right.
Popcorn game, we're in the 30s
1664
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:52,700
or 40s.
Oh yeah.
1665
01:37:52,700 --> 01:37:55,900
Oh yeah.
Whatever we're over is hammer it
1666
01:37:56,500 --> 01:38:01,700
a seven and a half in my game.
I'm going to take you to see the
1667
01:38:01,700 --> 01:38:03,800
lines 13.
I don't think they can cover
1668
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:07,400
that but I do think USC does get
it done.
1669
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:11,200
As much as I liked was doing.
They kind of had a that one
1670
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:15,900
sucky loss.
I think I think USC is you know
1671
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,700
going to get it done.
But it's going to be a lot
1672
01:38:19,700 --> 01:38:22,200
closer than 13 points.
In my opinion.
1673
01:38:22,900 --> 01:38:27,400
Brian has anything broken in the
last little while here?
1674
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:33,000
Now, I think we're good, man.
