Know the Enemy: Rutgers
Boundary Corner Podcast
Know the Enemy: Rutgers

This week we take a look at where it all went wrong for the Hokies on a wet and wild Saturday in Blacksburg. Just because it's Wednesday it is never too late for Tell the Truth Tuesday. We then turn our attention to Know the Enemy as the Hokies take their first road trip north to Piscataway, NJ to face the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers. We close up shop with our weekly Big Screener picks against the spread.

1
00:00:46,090 --> 00:00:49,770
And welcome back to the Boundary
Corner podcast with my partners

2
00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:51,530
Brian Siegel and Jonathan
Talley.

3
00:00:51,890 --> 00:00:55,130
I am Curtis Wilson and this
episode is brought to you by

4
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:59,110
Doctor Jeremy Counts at the Main
Street Pharmacy, your friendly

5
00:00:59,110 --> 00:01:04,069
neighborhood pharmacy located at
301 S Main St. in Blacksburg.

6
00:01:04,709 --> 00:01:06,470
Hey, I see.
Y'all again.

7
00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:10,630
What up, man?
Y'all, y'all dried off yet?

8
00:01:11,230 --> 00:01:18,750
No, he's still with So boys,
first of all, regardless of out

9
00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:20,110
coming again, we gonna get into
that.

10
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:22,550
Don't worry.
We got a lot of notes, we got a

11
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:24,230
lot of statements we want to
make on that.

12
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:28,940
But this weekend, effectively,
the entire crew was there.

13
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:33,700
Tally drove up from Bama, me and
Siegel kicked in from Richmond,

14
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:36,580
swung by rolling out, picked up
by music man Jason.

15
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:42,180
And then we effectively, we got,
we got up with Sheldon.

16
00:01:42,220 --> 00:01:44,780
Sheldon's not here tonight.
He's working hard, young man,

17
00:01:44,780 --> 00:01:47,540
working, making his career.
And then finally, we got out

18
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:49,420
with Jeremy.
We broke bread.

19
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:54,810
We spilled drinks.
We told lies, he told stories,

20
00:01:55,570 --> 00:01:59,850
and then we went through one of
the most insane games I've ever

21
00:01:59,850 --> 00:02:04,610
been a part of.
Definitely was a.

22
00:02:04,810 --> 00:02:10,970
It definitely was an experience.
I've never been a part of a game

23
00:02:10,970 --> 00:02:17,210
that was delayed like that.
I've had my pull them off the

24
00:02:17,210 --> 00:02:20,370
field for 1/2 hour, get back out
there and do it again.

25
00:02:20,370 --> 00:02:24,860
I've I've been a part of those.
I have not been a part of over

26
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:29,700
what, 5 1/2 hour delay due to
weather.

27
00:02:30,340 --> 00:02:35,140
Yeah, don't forget that sideways
rain and the hail and the tents

28
00:02:35,140 --> 00:02:38,500
getting flipped upside down and
twisted like pretzels as well.

29
00:02:38,980 --> 00:02:42,340
How many like a day of 10
graveyard scoreboard got hit

30
00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:46,140
with the lightning salt salt
back salt Lightning hit back

31
00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:49,300
down near near the airport.
I mean it was some what are you

32
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:51,940
talking about lightning hit
there in Lot 2?

33
00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:56,060
Yeah, we were on South side, the
South end zone side, and

34
00:02:56,060 --> 00:02:58,500
literally the lightning struck
directly in South dude.

35
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:01,660
By the way, for those who are in
South end zone, we might have

36
00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:03,740
been in the absolute South end
zone.

37
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:08,300
Top floor was probably the
absolute worst spot to wait out

38
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:13,620
that storm in Callie was smart.
Callie went down one floor.

39
00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:17,380
We went down there about 45
minutes too late with the rough

40
00:03:17,380 --> 00:03:19,980
stuff that already went through.
I was trying to get gone.

41
00:03:21,330 --> 00:03:24,570
As soon as I seen that rain
start coming sideways, I was

42
00:03:24,570 --> 00:03:29,970
like we too high, we are too.
High we too high up, way too

43
00:03:29,970 --> 00:03:32,930
high up and and again like Brian
said, five and a half hour

44
00:03:32,930 --> 00:03:38,970
delay, we waited it out.
I mean, I'll say this, I've

45
00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:43,090
never had when we came back.
I've never said that good at any

46
00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:46,170
sporting event in my life, in my
life.

47
00:03:46,170 --> 00:03:49,970
And if y'all wondered how close
I I should have sent the picture

48
00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:54,400
and let Brian put it up, we
could see Chris Mars nose hairs.

49
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,560
Yeah, that's how close we were.
Could have leaned over and

50
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,680
touched the field.
Could have shout out give give

51
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,760
our two guys a shout out on that
who we ran into him at the

52
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:12,120
Beamer Barn and they said they
they told us hey we get this

53
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,560
thing going, y'all come back
with us.

54
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,200
It was awesome thing.
It was awesome.

55
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,920
It was awesome.
Time we got to sit with some of

56
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,950
the parents.
Of the of the players, you know,

57
00:04:23,950 --> 00:04:28,030
being right there behind the
defensive huddle.

58
00:04:28,030 --> 00:04:31,510
For the most part, every time
they came off the field they sit

59
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:34,430
right in front of us.
I was ear hustling the whole

60
00:04:34,430 --> 00:04:36,630
time, listening at what they
needed to work on.

61
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:41,950
Another experience is like the
bike was right in front of us as

62
00:04:41,950 --> 00:04:44,470
well.
Like every player that went and

63
00:04:44,470 --> 00:04:47,230
sit on the bike was I could
reach out and touch them for

64
00:04:47,230 --> 00:04:48,470
real, you know what I'm saying?
So.

65
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:50,670
But I seen Lane come get on the
bike.

66
00:04:50,670 --> 00:04:52,350
I'm like, no, we don't need you
on the bike.

67
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:54,430
Get off.
The bike.

68
00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:59,070
But I mean, I knew he was.
I seen him and that stuff you

69
00:04:59,070 --> 00:05:02,110
don't see on TV because he
didn't go down on the field.

70
00:05:02,110 --> 00:05:05,270
He kind of, you know, was
running around and just kept

71
00:05:05,550 --> 00:05:08,790
coming to the sideline, came
straight over to the train

72
00:05:08,910 --> 00:05:12,630
again, was on the bike.
So seeing that stuff, definitely

73
00:05:12,630 --> 00:05:14,550
not good to see somebody get
hurt.

74
00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:18,270
But being in the stadium just
brings a whole different.

75
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,840
Dimension to your fandom.
So all y'all out there.

76
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,800
If you don't go to any games,
get to a game.

77
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,600
I live 7 hours away and I drive
to a game at least Blacksburg.

78
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,920
I drive there at least once a
year to go to a game.

79
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,920
If I can do it, you can do it.
Unless you're Grayson Wimbush

80
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,360
and you live in California, you
might need to fly.

81
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,720
Brian, what did you think?
Man, I know you probably had

82
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,520
some experiences on fields and
stuff back in your when you were

83
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,090
getting recruited, but that
close ever sitting?

84
00:05:51,210 --> 00:05:53,290
Not that close.
Ever sitting for a game.

85
00:05:53,290 --> 00:05:58,890
No.
I've sat, I've got, I got when I

86
00:05:58,890 --> 00:06:02,930
was getting recruited, I did get
to see some basketball games,

87
00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:06,090
like doing like junior days and
shit like that, real close.

88
00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:09,910
You know, sometimes you're a
sideline first few rows

89
00:06:09,910 --> 00:06:13,710
depending on what they had
slated for recruits, but never,

90
00:06:13,750 --> 00:06:16,470
never had a chance to get to a
football game that close.

91
00:06:16,470 --> 00:06:21,430
So that was a good experience.
You know, like Kelly said, I

92
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:24,710
mean, you can kind of take in
and kind of drink in the

93
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:27,750
sideline atmosphere a lot more
from that level.

94
00:06:28,030 --> 00:06:32,270
You don't quite get the the eye
and the sky view that you would

95
00:06:32,270 --> 00:06:35,150
get from a different level where
you kind of see everything

96
00:06:35,150 --> 00:06:39,480
that's happening on the field.
But I think you're kind of more

97
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,680
kind of in the shit, as it were
from that level.

98
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,720
And I think that's a good
perspective to have as well.

99
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,360
It absolutely is.
You you, you learn, you learn so

100
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,680
much.
You see more going on.

101
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,280
Like Tally said, you were
focused on what they were

102
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,640
talking to them to improve,
especially on the defensive side

103
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,800
of the ball.
Offense was in another location.

104
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,640
It was we.
We could not effectively get

105
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,120
down there but again it was it
was an experience and and that's

106
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,840
what games are and even coming
back and I would, I want to say

107
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:12,440
it was probably 20,000 cuz W
stands were just about full.

108
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,640
Northland Zone was completely
full and it was still loud.

109
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,400
It was.
Still it was still loud.

110
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,120
You were loud.
Yeah.

111
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,040
I mean, and that's another thing
sitting that low, you feel it

112
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,620
like you feel the noise just
coming over top of you.

113
00:07:28,340 --> 00:07:30,540
And I got a little, I got, I got
hair standing up because I

114
00:07:30,580 --> 00:07:33,180
remember the first time that
that's happened, you know, early

115
00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:36,340
in the first quarter and it was
just like Jesus Lord, like it's

116
00:07:36,340 --> 00:07:39,220
like it's a third of the stadium
here and it's still just

117
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:43,900
absolutely common.
Yeah, but especially like we

118
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:46,810
didn't get a proper.
Proper entry.

119
00:07:46,890 --> 00:07:49,810
Not get a time.
Purdue fans were mad about that,

120
00:07:49,810 --> 00:07:51,890
too.
They were very upset about that.

121
00:07:51,890 --> 00:07:53,610
They were like, we didn't even
get that like.

122
00:07:53,850 --> 00:07:55,650
We got, we got 1/2 assed
Sandman.

123
00:07:55,650 --> 00:07:57,490
I was like, yeah, you did.
You really did.

124
00:07:57,730 --> 00:08:00,210
Y'all really did.
So we need to reschedule it

125
00:08:00,850 --> 00:08:04,010
because y'all got y'all got
y'all got a y'all got a D effort

126
00:08:04,010 --> 00:08:06,690
from us.
Right, right now it's one in

127
00:08:06,690 --> 00:08:08,330
one.
The road team took both of them.

128
00:08:08,330 --> 00:08:11,810
Let's get one to to kind of put
a put a put a bow on it.

129
00:08:12,210 --> 00:08:17,530
Let's go meet in Asheville.
Come on in Nashville, A good

130
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:19,610
game for Nashville.
All right, well, let's we're

131
00:08:19,610 --> 00:08:23,810
going to definitely talk about
the game here. 2417 loss, the

132
00:08:23,810 --> 00:08:25,890
Hokies take.
But real quick, just a couple

133
00:08:25,890 --> 00:08:28,330
things.
First of all, Yep, we all got

134
00:08:28,330 --> 00:08:30,010
them.
We got the Rally for Robbie

135
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:32,730
stuff right here.
Obviously in a weight game this

136
00:08:32,730 --> 00:08:36,490
week that will not be in any
lot, but it is still always for

137
00:08:36,490 --> 00:08:39,650
sale or for donation at the Main
Street pharmacy.

138
00:08:39,929 --> 00:08:41,330
Walk right in there and get you
one.

139
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,120
But let's start with some of the
bad news.

140
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,680
And probably the worst news was
the injury to Ollie Jennings.

141
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,640
He is definitely out this week.
As we were walking in Lot 4 back

142
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,000
in the Lane Stadium, we saw him
on the golf cart with the boot,

143
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,280
you know, and it sucks.
It sucks for that kid in so many

144
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,880
different ways.
He was a great kid.

145
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,970
I mean, he was a.
You looked like he was hitting

146
00:09:09,970 --> 00:09:13,730
his stride, man.
He just he full of energy, you

147
00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:16,170
know, and then to go down the
way he did, getting rolled up

148
00:09:16,170 --> 00:09:18,530
on.
I mean, it's nothing that nobody

149
00:09:18,530 --> 00:09:19,810
can prevent.
You know what I'm saying?

150
00:09:19,810 --> 00:09:23,090
It's kind of like the weather,
that's what that's what the law

151
00:09:23,130 --> 00:09:24,410
say happening.
That's what's happening.

152
00:09:24,410 --> 00:09:26,250
You know, he was doing
everything right.

153
00:09:26,250 --> 00:09:29,010
It's not like he was hanging.
You know, sometimes people get

154
00:09:29,010 --> 00:09:31,650
rolled up on on piles just
standing there, he was downfield

155
00:09:31,650 --> 00:09:33,090
blocking 20 yards down the
field.

156
00:09:33,090 --> 00:09:34,890
He's.
Trying to get his man a block

157
00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:36,370
and.
Trying to get his man a block

158
00:09:36,530 --> 00:09:38,990
he's rolled up on and.
Ankle injury.

159
00:09:38,990 --> 00:09:43,470
So we just you know sitting
prayers out for him that his

160
00:09:43,470 --> 00:09:46,430
health is, is is good and as
well as his mental health

161
00:09:46,430 --> 00:09:49,350
because you know it takes, it
takes the athlete down man, when

162
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:52,110
they get when they get injured
and that they've been so hyped

163
00:09:52,110 --> 00:09:54,470
and waiting for this.
And you know he had his great

164
00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:58,670
first Game 2 touchdowns and then
you go into the second game

165
00:09:58,670 --> 00:10:03,510
you're amp and it's like the 2nd
and you're and you go out.

166
00:10:03,510 --> 00:10:08,690
So yeah, it definitely sucks,
yeah.

167
00:10:09,890 --> 00:10:12,810
It kind of, it definitely sucks
because I mean you saw the

168
00:10:13,650 --> 00:10:19,690
potential that he had in this
offense in the first week and

169
00:10:19,810 --> 00:10:22,090
you know, you feel like that was
only going to grow as the season

170
00:10:22,090 --> 00:10:24,290
went on.
You get more more comfortable in

171
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:26,290
the offense, more comfortable
with guys around you.

172
00:10:26,290 --> 00:10:31,770
So him being kind of the our,
our biggest threat offensively

173
00:10:31,770 --> 00:10:33,850
definitely hurts.
But also, you know, you feel for

174
00:10:33,850 --> 00:10:36,780
the kid because.
You know, he's not only trying

175
00:10:36,780 --> 00:10:40,620
to go out with the bang here,
but also trying to, you know,

176
00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:42,460
take some steps for the next
level as well.

177
00:10:42,460 --> 00:10:45,460
So, you know, hopefully he can
get back on the field as quick

178
00:10:45,460 --> 00:10:47,860
as he can and still put out
something like that so he can,

179
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:50,420
you know, turn that piece of it
around as well.

180
00:10:51,380 --> 00:10:54,500
Yeah.
And and I go back to what we saw

181
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:57,340
after the ODU game and having
all the family up there.

182
00:10:57,620 --> 00:10:59,300
It meant a lot to him to come to
Tech.

183
00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:02,340
You can tell it genuinely meant
a lot and meant a lot for his

184
00:11:02,340 --> 00:11:05,720
family because it's a it's a
three hour drive, it's a three

185
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,880
hour drive.
It's where so many people that

186
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,120
they probably grew up with has
gone to and it really stinks.

187
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,080
So you know, like you said to
Ali, prayers for a speedy

188
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,040
recovery, for the middle, for
the middle part of it.

189
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,520
Although, you know, we hollered
at him, you know, we hope you do

190
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,640
feel better, man.
He was, you know, he hollered

191
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,200
back at that.
He was in good spirits and

192
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,120
that's always a good thing.
But that ain't the only injury.

193
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,200
Steven Lane, we already
mentioned that a little bit.

194
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,680
See him on the bike?
Burgos got banged up, right?

195
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,800
Got banged up.
People's is banged up.

196
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,120
Y'all know when we're talking
about making our predictions,

197
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,920
you know what talk about where's
the floor is it?

198
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,240
Who'd you say?
Who'd I miss?

199
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,520
Wells is banged up too.
Wells is banged up.

200
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,000
We got a lot of people banged up
and we talk about the floors.

201
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,800
You start taking people out.
I mean, let's hope that some of

202
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,000
it's just early week and they're
just being cautious with them,

203
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:02,140
but man, it's that was a rough
game.

204
00:12:03,060 --> 00:12:06,620
Yeah, I mean, bodies kept kept
dropping, man, as we went along.

205
00:12:06,940 --> 00:12:10,220
And it wasn't just like, you
know, a guy here, a guy there.

206
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:13,820
I mean it was, it's guys that
took some big steps this year

207
00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:18,020
that we were, you know, counting
on to make plays, right.

208
00:12:18,020 --> 00:12:20,900
So I mean, Berg, Burgos, been
out there making plays,

209
00:12:21,620 --> 00:12:24,380
obviously Lane making, making
some big plays out there.

210
00:12:25,370 --> 00:12:28,970
Obviously Jennings going down
early that that that hurt the

211
00:12:28,970 --> 00:12:32,930
momentum that definitely if we
if we to continue playing, I

212
00:12:32,930 --> 00:12:37,010
think with that kind of looming
over us in real time I think it

213
00:12:37,010 --> 00:12:38,730
could have gotten ugly because I
feel like.

214
00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:41,970
Because Jenkins got hurt like
that first defensive play of the

215
00:12:41,970 --> 00:12:43,290
game as well.
First offensive play.

216
00:12:43,290 --> 00:12:45,570
Yeah, he did come back.
He came back.

217
00:12:45,610 --> 00:12:47,250
And then and then Jennings was
out too.

218
00:12:47,490 --> 00:12:48,690
You know, second play on
offense.

219
00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:51,970
I mean, I feel like right away
we had a bunch of gut check.

220
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:56,700
Injuries that you know if not
for the the the weather pause I

221
00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:58,780
think could have really
snowballed on us a little bit

222
00:12:58,780 --> 00:13:03,860
more than it did so but you know
guys still questionable this

223
00:13:03,860 --> 00:13:05,740
week.
I I'm hoping we see Lane I hope

224
00:13:05,740 --> 00:13:09,540
we see Burgos in particular.
I feel like those two are

225
00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:14,700
probably the the the biggest
factor this week overall, but.

226
00:13:15,110 --> 00:13:17,590
I mean, it was a tough week.
I mean, and and this is kind of

227
00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:20,670
a byproduct of playing on a on a
wet surface, I know the field

228
00:13:20,670 --> 00:13:23,390
drained really well, but you
know you're still playing on the

229
00:13:23,390 --> 00:13:26,590
wet surface.
Anytime you got that that going

230
00:13:26,590 --> 00:13:28,590
on, you know freaky shit can
happen.

231
00:13:28,990 --> 00:13:31,590
Yeah, definitely.
When Burgos came back in because

232
00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:35,350
he went out and I seen him come
back in and I think I know I

233
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:38,110
seen him probably walk up to him
and ask him, can you go?

234
00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:40,990
And he shook his head.
Yeah, but he had a big brace on

235
00:13:40,990 --> 00:13:44,230
his on his elbow.
But I seen him.

236
00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:45,990
Probably hyperextended or
something I would.

237
00:13:46,110 --> 00:13:49,030
Imagine, I don't know exactly
what he did, but like you said,

238
00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:52,230
maybe hyperextended, but he did
go back in man.

239
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:56,430
And you don't want to think
about moral victories like you

240
00:13:56,430 --> 00:14:00,070
want to win.
But we were down 17 to 0 and

241
00:14:00,070 --> 00:14:03,110
these kids, they fought, man.
Like I I was telling I was

242
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:05,150
sitting closer to Curtis than
you, Brian.

243
00:14:05,150 --> 00:14:09,270
And I was looking at Curtis like
we going to get blue out.

244
00:14:09,550 --> 00:14:12,150
It's over.
You know, it's 17 to 0.

245
00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:14,830
We can't do nothing.
And they just kept fighting,

246
00:14:14,830 --> 00:14:16,310
man.
And we found a way back in the

247
00:14:16,310 --> 00:14:19,590
game and the defense stepped up
and they were like, you know,

248
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:21,070
they wasn't just going to roll
over.

249
00:14:21,390 --> 00:14:25,030
That rain delay helped Chris
Marv make some adjustments.

250
00:14:27,270 --> 00:14:30,350
Yes, it did.
And look, let's let's go ahead

251
00:14:30,350 --> 00:14:32,070
and jump into it.
I had something else I want to

252
00:14:32,070 --> 00:14:33,150
talk about.
Well, let's jump into it.

253
00:14:33,150 --> 00:14:35,670
This is Tell the Truth.
Tell the Truth Tuesday,

254
00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:38,430
Wednesday NIGHT Edition.
Because on Wednesday, Tally's

255
00:14:38,430 --> 00:14:43,380
son had a late game.
And by all means, we're dads.

256
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:45,940
Things like that happen.
Me and Brian completely

257
00:14:45,940 --> 00:14:48,580
understand what we'll pivot and
go in a night longer anyway.

258
00:14:48,580 --> 00:14:50,020
It ain't gonna hurt nobody's
feelings.

259
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:51,820
But let's talk about ones with
well.

260
00:14:52,060 --> 00:14:55,020
And a lot of people are about to
slowly scream at us and say no,

261
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:58,940
it didn't.
But offensively, offensively,

262
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:00,940
I'm starting with the offense.
I'm waiting for the bat.

263
00:15:00,940 --> 00:15:05,180
All the comments to pop up over
there, y'all tell me this

264
00:15:05,180 --> 00:15:08,100
because I said with these two
gentlemen who basically who

265
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:13,460
played collegiate football no
less than 7 to 9 times did I

266
00:15:13,460 --> 00:15:16,740
hear y'all scream the player is
open.

267
00:15:16,740 --> 00:15:19,980
There were other people around
us screaming players are open.

268
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:25,220
The overall passing play design
of what we did on Saturday and

269
00:15:25,220 --> 00:15:28,740
then the skill players getting
open that was working cuz Tally

270
00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:31,660
kept screaming.
Quit running the ball, just

271
00:15:31,660 --> 00:15:34,220
throw it.
Just throw it there if they

272
00:15:34,260 --> 00:15:37,020
they're stacking the box and
daring you to beat them with

273
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:39,370
your arm.
You got to take what they're

274
00:15:39,370 --> 00:15:42,330
giving you.
If they're giving you 10 yards

275
00:15:42,330 --> 00:15:46,090
across the middle, if they're
giving you a wheel right, a

276
00:15:46,650 --> 00:15:50,290
wheel route out of the back
field, you got to take it like,

277
00:15:50,290 --> 00:15:52,010
I get it.
You want to say, Oh well, we got

278
00:15:52,010 --> 00:15:55,650
to run and set up the to set up
the the pass.

279
00:15:55,890 --> 00:15:57,610
No, you don't.
If they're going to give it to

280
00:15:57,610 --> 00:15:59,810
you, they're already in their
position.

281
00:16:00,690 --> 00:16:02,410
Do it the other way.
Do it the other way.

282
00:16:02,450 --> 00:16:05,210
Pass set up the run.
We need to make them adjust to

283
00:16:05,210 --> 00:16:10,340
us, You know, we don't need to.
Have us adjusted to them.

284
00:16:10,340 --> 00:16:13,420
I mean we've all we going to run
let's run what we're running.

285
00:16:13,420 --> 00:16:15,140
All right.
We see what you got.

286
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:16,860
Okay let we going to get you out
of that.

287
00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:20,140
So yeah it was people running
open man.

288
00:16:20,140 --> 00:16:24,900
I've seen a couple times where
you know receivers had steps on

289
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:27,300
the DB's covering them and
that's one of the things we

290
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:29,340
talked about before before the
game.

291
00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:32,660
Going into the game last week,
like we didn't feel that their

292
00:16:32,660 --> 00:16:36,980
secondary was so great that they
could stop our receivers.

293
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:39,580
We were getting deep in that
receiver room, man.

294
00:16:39,580 --> 00:16:42,780
Like I seen Aiden Green with
steps on people.

295
00:16:43,860 --> 00:16:47,740
I seen Felton.
He had no Lofton.

296
00:16:49,140 --> 00:16:52,380
Both of our tight ends, Stephen
Gosnell.

297
00:16:52,860 --> 00:16:55,780
Like man, I've seen a lot of
people running free.

298
00:16:56,340 --> 00:16:58,860
But you know, I know we'll talk
about it and we don't want to

299
00:16:58,860 --> 00:17:01,220
beat on him too much.
When you're When your

300
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:05,140
quarterback locks on one
receiver and that's all he looks

301
00:17:05,140 --> 00:17:07,339
at, he's never going to scan the
field.

302
00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:09,349
And that's why we're getting in
trouble.

303
00:17:10,109 --> 00:17:14,109
Exactly.
And I mean overall passing play

304
00:17:14,109 --> 00:17:17,630
design really good, especially
when when you talk about the

305
00:17:17,630 --> 00:17:19,670
defense there.
I mean we talked about it last

306
00:17:19,670 --> 00:17:22,550
week when we were previewing
them, but a lot of single high

307
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:25,390
man coverage.
So we got, we got a lot of

308
00:17:26,109 --> 00:17:29,230
opportunities where we could
beat a band one-on-one and we

309
00:17:29,230 --> 00:17:32,110
did it pretty consistently.
I mean, they Quan, right, went

310
00:17:32,110 --> 00:17:33,350
out there and had himself a
game.

311
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,400
I mean, and that that's stepping
up after you lose.

312
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,480
Really.
You lose your best wide receiver

313
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,640
for the whole game, pretty much.
You lose your second best wide

314
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,160
receiver for at least a whole
half.

315
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,080
And I don't know and we still
we're getting open, but you got

316
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,800
to still make the plays and that
starts with the quarterback.

317
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:54,680
And he went down in that.
He went down in that last drive

318
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,840
as well.
Yeah.

319
00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:58,140
Because you know when he got
knocked right in front of us?

320
00:17:58,140 --> 00:17:59,220
Exactly.
In front of, Yeah, right on,

321
00:17:59,260 --> 00:18:01,780
right up.
Against Ranch, yeah, ran up into

322
00:18:01,780 --> 00:18:03,620
the bench.
He thought it was knocked out.

323
00:18:03,620 --> 00:18:06,380
I don't know what was going on
with it.

324
00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:09,180
All I saw was there were like 3
medical guys over there.

325
00:18:09,180 --> 00:18:12,940
He was down there.
He slid like 6 or 7 yards.

326
00:18:13,020 --> 00:18:15,340
Yeah, to the sidelines or.
Three under the bench.

327
00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:17,980
So you know, I feel like it
could have been a little bit of

328
00:18:17,980 --> 00:18:20,300
a different drive if you got
both of those tight ends just

329
00:18:20,740 --> 00:18:23,460
work in the middle as well, so
they couldn't guard.

330
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:25,820
If you go look at the game, you
go look at the stats.

331
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,600
Nobody on that team could go.
He was a matchup nightmare, a

332
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,640
sophomore fighting and doing
work like that.

333
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,000
That was good.
No one could guard our receivers

334
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,720
or the pass play schemes.
We'll get into the other stuff

335
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,720
later because y'all know this is
4 sections I want to talk about

336
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,600
this.
Let's talk about coverage, play,

337
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:46,880
coverage, play.
I knew Purdue went for 248.

338
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,080
That was on 34 pass attempts.
We were.

339
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,160
We talked about Birch being a
danger.

340
00:18:53,690 --> 00:18:58,450
He really was not that big of a
danger in this game because the

341
00:18:58,450 --> 00:19:01,890
back end pretty much locked up
across the board.

342
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:06,330
Their leading receiver was 8 for
64 and the man we were worried

343
00:19:06,330 --> 00:19:11,090
about, Dion Burks, one catch, 18
yards.

344
00:19:12,050 --> 00:19:15,570
The the back end is the back end
is for real whoever's back.

345
00:19:16,090 --> 00:19:18,090
Playing with a Playing with a
backup.

346
00:19:18,890 --> 00:19:21,370
Jalen I was a wide receiver last
year, man.

347
00:19:22,250 --> 00:19:24,930
I don't.
Again, I know they just put the

348
00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:29,050
whole tape on YouTube, so if
y'all haven't watched it, go

349
00:19:29,050 --> 00:19:33,970
watch the whole tape.
I'm talking about audience

350
00:19:33,970 --> 00:19:36,370
members, y'all go watch this
tape, man.

351
00:19:37,530 --> 00:19:41,010
Jalen Jones in the back end.
I seen a couple of times where

352
00:19:41,010 --> 00:19:44,370
the kid had perfect coverage and
that is hard to do.

353
00:19:45,690 --> 00:19:49,490
Perfect coverage.
No, no, no flag, nothing.

354
00:19:49,490 --> 00:19:51,570
He played good in the back end
man.

355
00:19:51,810 --> 00:19:55,370
I was excited to see him take a
step in that game because the

356
00:19:55,370 --> 00:19:57,850
receivers that they have
especially Burke's kid, the

357
00:19:57,850 --> 00:20:02,610
Burke's kid can can and and they
just made good plays like in in

358
00:20:02,810 --> 00:20:06,130
games that we watched.
So I was excited to see that

359
00:20:06,130 --> 00:20:07,730
back end do some work back
there.

360
00:20:07,810 --> 00:20:10,930
They played, they played as good
as we could see them play, I

361
00:20:10,930 --> 00:20:13,130
think.
Yeah, they only really hit one

362
00:20:13,130 --> 00:20:16,820
shot down the field and that
into get brought down, you know

363
00:20:16,820 --> 00:20:19,540
right after the catch there.
Other than that we kept

364
00:20:19,540 --> 00:20:23,500
everything in front of us.
I'd say in the secondary we

365
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:27,140
tackle pretty well, like they
they didn't get a whole lot of

366
00:20:27,140 --> 00:20:28,660
run after the catch in the
secondary.

367
00:20:29,860 --> 00:20:35,060
So I thought that was really
good overall and I, as you said,

368
00:20:35,060 --> 00:20:37,420
I like that, that we saw Jalen
Jones step up.

369
00:20:37,740 --> 00:20:40,860
Had a pretty good week against
ODU, especially for somebody

370
00:20:40,860 --> 00:20:45,070
getting really his first live
snaps on defense at this level,

371
00:20:45,670 --> 00:20:49,350
and really stepped up big this
week because he had a he had

372
00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:52,790
much more responsibility this
week and really answered the

373
00:20:52,790 --> 00:20:58,350
call.
You know who else answered the

374
00:20:58,350 --> 00:20:59,910
call?
Brian, who's that?

375
00:21:00,870 --> 00:21:05,150
Schroman, Schroman and and and
Lawson.

376
00:21:05,830 --> 00:21:08,150
Both of those guys had 14
tackles.

377
00:21:09,070 --> 00:21:11,710
Unreal.
Both of them had 14 tackles.

378
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:15,080
And not only did both of them
have 14 tackles they was making

379
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,040
plays with.
And again, I ain't saying that

380
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,560
we we back, but they was making
plays with that old school

381
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,840
attitude.
I seen Jaden Strobman hit

382
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,080
somebody on their sideline and
look at their sideline and start

383
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,160
slapping his helmet.
I wanted to.

384
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,120
I wanted to put a helmet on.
I don't know how much work I

385
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:34,400
could have done.
I wanted to put a helmet on.

386
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,680
But just seeing stuff like that
man in Lawson was all over the

387
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,580
field in the back field.
Sideline to sideline.

388
00:21:42,580 --> 00:21:46,460
I mean, everybody knows he's an
athletic freak, but watching him

389
00:21:46,460 --> 00:21:52,340
from ODU to to Purdue looks like
that he took a step forward to

390
00:21:52,340 --> 00:21:58,300
me just with his coverage.
His coverage was good and he if

391
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:02,060
you get, if you get multiple
double digit titles, man like

392
00:22:03,420 --> 00:22:05,500
that was.
That's what we need to see.

393
00:22:06,260 --> 00:22:08,140
Yeah.
I mean and he got the he got the

394
00:22:08,140 --> 00:22:11,620
all A/C all ACC accolades this
week for for his place.

395
00:22:11,620 --> 00:22:15,820
So yeah so that that's that's
big man.

396
00:22:16,380 --> 00:22:20,060
He really showed up.
You know the tackles are great,

397
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:22,060
you know, but that's just a
number.

398
00:22:22,060 --> 00:22:26,060
But watching him improve
significantly and run fits

399
00:22:26,060 --> 00:22:29,180
compared to last week, you know
there was, there was some some

400
00:22:29,180 --> 00:22:32,020
issues last week significantly
better on that front this week

401
00:22:32,180 --> 00:22:34,300
as you said, good in coverage
this week.

402
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:38,140
He had some more coverage
responsibilities this week than

403
00:22:38,140 --> 00:22:40,860
he had last week.
So it's good to see when you

404
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:45,540
asked more of players and they
give you more and we see that

405
00:22:45,620 --> 00:22:48,700
both with we we saw with Lawson,
we saw with Stroman and we

406
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:50,620
already talked about seeing it
with Jalen Jones too.

407
00:22:50,620 --> 00:22:54,220
So that's that's some positives
to take away from us.

408
00:22:54,850 --> 00:22:56,810
I can't remember who.
I can't remember who.

409
00:22:56,970 --> 00:22:58,170
I mean.
Curtis, did you have something

410
00:22:58,170 --> 00:22:59,730
to go with?
Well, I was going to say I was

411
00:22:59,730 --> 00:23:02,410
thinking about, I can't remember
who mentioned it, but and I want

412
00:23:02,410 --> 00:23:06,130
to see the play, the one where
apparently Lawson's getting

413
00:23:06,170 --> 00:23:10,130
pushed by like the guard and he
gets the handout and he makes a

414
00:23:10,130 --> 00:23:11,850
stop.
Like.

415
00:23:12,130 --> 00:23:13,650
That's freak.
That's freak stuff.

416
00:23:14,090 --> 00:23:16,410
That's freak stuff.
There's there's only certain

417
00:23:16,410 --> 00:23:18,930
guys that are built like that
that have the strength to hold

418
00:23:18,930 --> 00:23:22,970
the guard, to actually get ahold
of the guy and get them down.

419
00:23:24,050 --> 00:23:26,250
That's freaking.
That's some towel drills right

420
00:23:26,250 --> 00:23:29,650
there, man, to be able to grab
somebody jersey and pull them

421
00:23:29,650 --> 00:23:31,210
down.
Brian knows what I'm talking

422
00:23:31,210 --> 00:23:34,450
about.
But those guys are special.

423
00:23:34,890 --> 00:23:36,850
Both of those guys are special,
I think.

424
00:23:37,010 --> 00:23:38,410
So we're not going to have them
much longer.

425
00:23:39,130 --> 00:23:40,410
We're not going to have them,
we.

426
00:23:40,570 --> 00:23:42,130
Ain't going to have them after
next year.

427
00:23:42,570 --> 00:23:44,090
Go ahead and write that down
now.

428
00:23:44,090 --> 00:23:47,650
My hope is there are people out
there that see how they're

429
00:23:47,690 --> 00:23:50,930
playing.
And say I can go here, I can

430
00:23:50,930 --> 00:23:53,530
make my name, I can move to the
next level.

431
00:23:53,930 --> 00:23:57,050
So we'll hope that happens.
There's one more accolade we're

432
00:23:57,050 --> 00:23:58,490
going to give and what went
well.

433
00:23:59,170 --> 00:24:01,930
And it's not the best thing and
people are going to laugh,

434
00:24:01,930 --> 00:24:06,010
probably, but y'all, Peter Moore
made that punt return to back up

435
00:24:06,010 --> 00:24:09,130
5 to 8 yards every single time
he kicked it.

436
00:24:09,330 --> 00:24:11,450
That kid didn't know what to do.
He moved it.

437
00:24:11,650 --> 00:24:15,010
He was booming, man.
He was absolutely booming.

438
00:24:15,010 --> 00:24:18,850
And I mean, he put what, 4
inside the 20, a couple deep,

439
00:24:18,850 --> 00:24:22,010
deep.
They were not getting that much

440
00:24:22,010 --> 00:24:24,930
on him and it was something we
talked about in the preseason.

441
00:24:25,170 --> 00:24:27,050
Can he get back to where he was
two years ago?

442
00:24:27,490 --> 00:24:29,010
He's well on his way back this
year.

443
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:32,770
And what does that do?
Give Pete as much as I want to

444
00:24:32,770 --> 00:24:35,810
give the defense credit.
After giving up to 17 until the

445
00:24:35,810 --> 00:24:40,530
nearly last drive, every time
Peter Moore was called on, he

446
00:24:40,530 --> 00:24:45,090
put Purdue deep.
He forced them to drive the

447
00:24:45,090 --> 00:24:48,570
field where eventually, each
time they stalled up until the

448
00:24:48,570 --> 00:24:52,290
end and I think he only had one
return where they got more than

449
00:24:52,290 --> 00:24:56,530
like 5 yards.
Most of them got down inside the

450
00:24:56,850 --> 00:25:00,570
the the 10 or 15, I think one
was inside the five.

451
00:25:00,570 --> 00:25:03,010
So, I mean, he did his job the
whole night.

452
00:25:03,650 --> 00:25:08,330
Yeah, 23 total yards, returning
on four on four.

453
00:25:08,610 --> 00:25:12,730
So what?
Less than five, so.

454
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,960
Yeah, and absolutely.
Billy Ray, he is a stud.

455
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,400
Absolutely.
All right boys.

456
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,560
So we we've talked about the
good, but when you lose a game,

457
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,640
there's going to be more bad
than good and it and that's the

458
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,520
case here today.
And Brian, I'm going, I'm going

459
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,200
to let you lead it off because
it was an issue last week and

460
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,720
you were paying even more
attention.

461
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,640
Being as close as we were, we
could not run the football guys

462
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,800
again.
I don't, I don't know if y'all

463
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,400
watch the game.
We couldn't run the football.

464
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,160
That's pretty important part of
the game, man.

465
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,920
You know, we talked about the
flow of the game and the past

466
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,320
plays were called, well, we like
that part of it.

467
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,560
But at some point, you've got to
be able to run the football

468
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:02,520
effectively so a defense doesn't
just load the box and tee off on

469
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,630
your quarterback because that
puts even more pressure on your

470
00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:08,950
pass pro.
You've got to be able to run the

471
00:26:08,950 --> 00:26:11,670
football with some degree of
efficiency, and we're not able

472
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:14,630
to do that right now.
And a lot of it is execution.

473
00:26:15,470 --> 00:26:19,750
3rd and 1:00 you got to be able
to get one yard man like we

474
00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:22,670
couldn't.
We can't do nothing that that.

475
00:26:22,910 --> 00:26:27,070
Like you said, sometimes the
play call isn't the problem and

476
00:26:27,070 --> 00:26:29,910
I don't want to go through and
critique all of the the

477
00:26:30,230 --> 00:26:34,790
offensive line right now, but.
If you are pulling as a tackle

478
00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:38,830
and you do not pull into the
hole and and blow the man out of

479
00:26:38,830 --> 00:26:41,910
the hole and he's the one that
makes the tackle and everybody

480
00:26:41,910 --> 00:26:43,950
else is blocked, you're at the
problem.

481
00:26:44,590 --> 00:26:45,710
Yeah.
You don't need to be giving

482
00:26:45,710 --> 00:26:49,030
Kayden more the business when
your guys.

483
00:26:49,470 --> 00:26:53,070
You don't need 3 feet to your
left are blowing up to man.

484
00:26:54,510 --> 00:26:57,830
Like wrap into the hole and root
that motherfucker out of there.

485
00:26:58,150 --> 00:27:01,830
That's all I'm saying.
Do not go stand behind your

486
00:27:01,830 --> 00:27:05,070
guard.
And play the Heimlich maneuver,

487
00:27:05,550 --> 00:27:07,430
that's what.
And we were braying bright

488
00:27:07,430 --> 00:27:09,790
orange jerseys.
Come on, man.

489
00:27:10,150 --> 00:27:12,510
And they were.
You can't.

490
00:27:13,270 --> 00:27:14,670
What the?
Hey man.

491
00:27:15,030 --> 00:27:17,670
That, that, I think, I think, I
think, I think we're here right

492
00:27:17,670 --> 00:27:20,790
there tallying more than one
time as a tight end was asked to

493
00:27:20,790 --> 00:27:22,590
make a pool play like that into
a hole.

494
00:27:22,710 --> 00:27:25,790
Brian, we know you were as a
guard as well and it's like you

495
00:27:25,790 --> 00:27:28,070
got to hit the hole.
If you see your team's jersey

496
00:27:28,070 --> 00:27:30,920
color, you didn't screw it up.
Right.

497
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,480
And that's a mentality, man.
I mean it's not been times where

498
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,080
you you pull on something and
you, you don't know what you're

499
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,720
going to see when you get in
that sometimes.

500
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,200
But guess what, sometimes the
defender don't know what they're

501
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,120
going to see either.
So as a as a offensive lineman,

502
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,400
when you're pulling like some
offensive lineman, just that's

503
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,640
that's their bread and butter
because they got quick feet.

504
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,440
They can get the they can get
the shoulders turned or they can

505
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,950
get the hips moving.
And they can, they can get in

506
00:27:59,950 --> 00:28:03,270
the hole and and and they're low
enough where when you see them

507
00:28:03,270 --> 00:28:06,190
it's too late, you know.
So some office alignment make

508
00:28:06,190 --> 00:28:09,830
their money on pulling plays.
They also don't let their eyes

509
00:28:10,190 --> 00:28:12,790
twist up their feet.
Yeah, yeah.

510
00:28:12,830 --> 00:28:17,270
A lot of times, like if a lot of
times when people are pulling,

511
00:28:17,790 --> 00:28:20,150
if if you're trusting your eyes
too much, you can tie up your

512
00:28:20,150 --> 00:28:22,270
feet.
If you're trusting your muscle

513
00:28:22,270 --> 00:28:24,470
memory but not using your eyes,
you can end up in the wrong

514
00:28:24,470 --> 00:28:29,540
spot.
This is just you got to be able

515
00:28:29,540 --> 00:28:31,220
to do both.
You got to be able to trust your

516
00:28:31,220 --> 00:28:34,180
eyes and and see what's
happening in real time.

517
00:28:34,580 --> 00:28:38,260
The play you're referencing
though, I mean that was blocked

518
00:28:38,260 --> 00:28:43,060
as drawn up, there's there
really wasn't a question of of

519
00:28:43,180 --> 00:28:45,380
where you should be.
You should know what the fuck

520
00:28:45,380 --> 00:28:47,420
you're doing on that.
I'm almost simplified.

521
00:28:47,420 --> 00:28:50,340
It's just a little bit for
everybody who watching because,

522
00:28:50,460 --> 00:28:54,380
you know, it's been all kind of
speculation all week and we've

523
00:28:54,380 --> 00:28:58,960
been talking about the game.
I seen a clip of Wyatt Teller

524
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,680
and they said Wyatt Teller drove
his man 20 yards and everybody

525
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,160
says, oh, that's cool.
Oh, OK.

526
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,840
This is what I want you to do to
think about what Wyatt Teller

527
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,040
did.
People that's here watching.

528
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,240
Go fill your trash can up.
I don't know what my trash day

529
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,840
is.
On Tuesdays, fill your trash can

530
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,280
up and instead of using the
wheels to roll it down, roll it

531
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,560
down.
On the front part.

532
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,360
That's that doesn't have the
wheels.

533
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,080
That's still not a defensive
lineman.

534
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,120
He took the defensive lineman
that is in front of him and he

535
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,800
pushed him down the field 20 to
25 yards and then put him on his

536
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,800
ass.
And put him down.

537
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,760
You want to know why he did that
one?

538
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,040
Because he's strong, that he is
very strong.

539
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,880
But #2 is because he is a mean
motherfucker.

540
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,160
You got to be mean to play
offensive line.

541
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,540
You can be nice off the field.
You can go to church and you can

542
00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:55,980
thank God on on Sundays or or or
on Saturdays, whatever.

543
00:29:55,980 --> 00:29:57,700
If you seven day visit, I don't
know what you are.

544
00:29:57,980 --> 00:30:00,780
You can pray when you're not on
the field, but when you get on

545
00:30:00,860 --> 00:30:04,580
the field you got to be mean.
You got to be able to say the

546
00:30:04,580 --> 00:30:07,940
person that is lined up in front
of me or whoever I can put my

547
00:30:07,940 --> 00:30:10,220
hat on that doesn't have the
jersey that I have on.

548
00:30:10,580 --> 00:30:13,500
I want to inflict pain.
I just don't get that from some

549
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:15,020
of my offensive lineman right
now.

550
00:30:15,060 --> 00:30:17,780
The other part though, you
mentioned that it's also he knew

551
00:30:17,780 --> 00:30:20,020
exactly where he was supposed to
be on that run play.

552
00:30:20,460 --> 00:30:22,420
That's his 5th.
I'm right here.

553
00:30:22,540 --> 00:30:26,260
I find my guy and I take him and
and again we go back to it.

554
00:30:26,260 --> 00:30:29,500
That's been the real problem.
Not only not mean, not a lot of

555
00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:32,940
push, but a lot of screw ups, a
lot of missteps.

556
00:30:32,940 --> 00:30:36,260
So it definitely has to improve,
but it was definitely bad on

557
00:30:36,260 --> 00:30:37,700
Saturday.
Now I'm.

558
00:30:37,940 --> 00:30:40,140
I'm gonna stay on the offensive
side of the ball.

559
00:30:41,110 --> 00:30:45,030
And and and it's not to be
disrespectful because he had a

560
00:30:45,030 --> 00:30:49,390
great game against ODU.
But what we saw Saturday

561
00:30:50,230 --> 00:30:53,790
afternoon and into the night
that was Grant Wells of last

562
00:30:53,790 --> 00:30:55,670
year that showed up.
That was not the Grant Wells we

563
00:30:55,670 --> 00:30:59,830
saw in the first game and it was
the missing wide open players.

564
00:30:59,830 --> 00:31:02,910
It was when the pressure was
there, it was he wasn't

565
00:31:02,910 --> 00:31:05,430
trusting.
He was not trusting what was

566
00:31:05,430 --> 00:31:09,960
going to happen and.
And and and to be honest it it

567
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:15,560
was bad because I mean the like
that pick that that pick was

568
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,840
still everybody keeps saying
well so and so ran the wrong

569
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:24,200
route but the whole thing is
that safety hooked up under in

570
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,160
that inside zone when he would
leverage wasn't there even if

571
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,200
the route was ran properly.
The jersey shouldn't have thrown

572
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,440
it.
He shouldn't.

573
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,160
Have thrown it.
The Jersey's white.

574
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,760
There was no way he was going to
get that to anybody.

575
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,160
Yeah, and that's things he was
doing last year.

576
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,000
And The thing is, we took a step
up in competition this week.

577
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,200
And I'm not trying to bury him,
but it's like what I was hoping

578
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,920
to see for Grant Wells because
he was named the starting

579
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,320
quarterback, was when we took
the step up, we wouldn't see the

580
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,320
bad interception.
There were two of them.

581
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,680
There were two bad interceptions
because the first one was just a

582
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,040
bad throw.
The second one, there were two

583
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,160
guys.
Open up the scene, watch that,

584
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,040
watch those play again.
There were two guys open.

585
00:32:05,430 --> 00:32:07,310
He threw it to the guy who was
significantly covered.

586
00:32:08,670 --> 00:32:12,630
And and I'm sitting here and
it's like, you know, we're going

587
00:32:12,630 --> 00:32:16,110
to talk about it in a little
while here, but it's like you're

588
00:32:16,110 --> 00:32:18,870
reverting back, you're reverting
back.

589
00:32:19,870 --> 00:32:23,790
This team is better skill wise,
it's better pass protection

590
00:32:23,790 --> 00:32:25,430
wise.
The run game still ain't there,

591
00:32:25,750 --> 00:32:27,830
but pass protection has went up
significantly.

592
00:32:27,830 --> 00:32:30,670
Siegler, you and you and Brian
were talking about that like

593
00:32:30,870 --> 00:32:33,430
like, we're looking better, like
we can hold a pocket.

594
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,240
So now we're getting to that
point.

595
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,760
It's like if you're reverting
back to your old ways.

596
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,320
I mean, Curtis, you were very
heavy before the season started

597
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,160
talking about we can't go one
and one with the picks.

598
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,880
Like that ratio can't be one and
one.

599
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,720
How many touchdowns and how many
picks did he have Saturday?

600
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,680
Two to two?
Two to two?

601
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,240
You just can't do it and that.
One pick was literally.

602
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,480
In the red zone corporate game,
it's it's it's set up another

603
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,560
touchdown.
I think they, yeah.

604
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,360
I can't remember if they got a
touchdown or.

605
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,240
Yeah, that was a touchdown
because it was about the the

606
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,240
first one was a touchdown
because they got it.

607
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,280
I think it, I think 18 by the
time we made the tackle there.

608
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,760
Yeah, they.
Were inside the red zone and

609
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,360
then they they they turned that
around quick.

610
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,000
Like, thankfully we held on and
that that other one coming out

611
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,760
of halftime didn't really bury
us, but it definitely took an

612
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,210
opportunity that we could have,
took the momentum in the game we

613
00:33:33,210 --> 00:33:35,610
had and we lost that
opportunity.

614
00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:37,650
We had the momentum coming out
of half.

615
00:33:38,250 --> 00:33:41,890
We scored. 17 straight in 6
minutes and then we get the ball

616
00:33:42,290 --> 00:33:44,610
and we got the ball coming out
of half.

617
00:33:45,250 --> 00:33:48,850
You blew all of your momentum in
one full fell swoop and then it

618
00:33:48,850 --> 00:33:51,090
became a grindfest the entire
third quarter.

619
00:33:51,770 --> 00:33:56,570
And then the one that he missed.
The second one was a a a throw

620
00:33:56,570 --> 00:33:59,450
to to Felton that was high and
behind.

621
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:03,660
You know, he's 65, man.
And you got to understand, he's

622
00:34:03,660 --> 00:34:04,940
running.
You got to.

623
00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:08,340
Wells has been starting for four
years.

624
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:11,699
You know what I'm saying?
Like, if he was a freshman, I

625
00:34:11,699 --> 00:34:13,260
would be like, you know what
this is?

626
00:34:13,659 --> 00:34:15,179
This is the learning curve for
him.

627
00:34:15,620 --> 00:34:18,179
Like, he knows first season
starting even even if he wasn't

628
00:34:18,179 --> 00:34:19,900
a freshman.
But you know, it's going to be

629
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:22,580
some growing pains, right?
We get it, but this is his

630
00:34:22,580 --> 00:34:25,699
fourth season start, man, and
you got to know where to put the

631
00:34:25,699 --> 00:34:27,260
ball.
You know, you got to know.

632
00:34:27,860 --> 00:34:30,500
What plays cannot be made.
You got to know where you are in

633
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:33,940
the game, and I hate to say that
we're putting that on him, but

634
00:34:33,940 --> 00:34:36,940
you think about what Texas did,
going down to Alabama and

635
00:34:36,940 --> 00:34:39,820
Tuscaloosa, that is a hard place
to win.

636
00:34:40,620 --> 00:34:44,540
And Texas is quarterback the
queen kid again.

637
00:34:44,540 --> 00:34:47,820
It's different skill level, of
course, I understand that, but

638
00:34:48,020 --> 00:34:50,219
they were playing against a
different skill level as well

639
00:34:50,219 --> 00:34:52,699
than we are.
But he goes down there, man, and

640
00:34:52,699 --> 00:34:54,260
you just got to have some nuts
about you.

641
00:34:54,730 --> 00:34:57,330
And when the game time comes,
when it when it comes time to

642
00:34:57,330 --> 00:35:01,130
win the game like y'all See when
we go to our picks.

643
00:35:01,130 --> 00:35:06,410
I picked Texas to win because
last year he gave them all they

644
00:35:06,410 --> 00:35:09,330
can handle till he got hurt till
he got hurt.

645
00:35:09,890 --> 00:35:13,050
When he got hurt it was over.
This year he came back, he he

646
00:35:13,050 --> 00:35:15,930
was coming back for blood.
And I feel like Wells just

647
00:35:15,930 --> 00:35:19,930
doesn't have that, that that
little bit of last oomph about

648
00:35:19,930 --> 00:35:21,810
him.
Like, hey, last year y'all

649
00:35:21,810 --> 00:35:24,630
counted me out.
I did everything I needed to do

650
00:35:24,630 --> 00:35:26,590
to be the starter this year.
I did everything to be the

651
00:35:26,590 --> 00:35:28,950
captain this year.
I'm going to carry this team to

652
00:35:28,950 --> 00:35:30,590
win.
I didn't see him getting in

653
00:35:30,590 --> 00:35:33,790
people's ass on the sidelines,
and I didn't see him rallying

654
00:35:33,790 --> 00:35:35,390
his troops.
It was just like he just came

655
00:35:35,390 --> 00:35:37,310
and kind of stood by himself.
You know?

656
00:35:37,310 --> 00:35:38,950
I threw a pick.
Fuck.

657
00:35:39,590 --> 00:35:40,830
That's it.
That's what we get.

658
00:35:40,830 --> 00:35:44,190
So yeah, I don't want to stay on
him because people think I hate

659
00:35:44,190 --> 00:35:46,350
Grant Wells and I really don't.
I think he's a good kid.

660
00:35:47,190 --> 00:35:49,630
Yeah, I think he's.
I think he's a good guy.

661
00:35:49,630 --> 00:35:52,990
I just think the limitations are
what they are.

662
00:35:53,510 --> 00:35:58,150
And right now, the limitations
of what we need, it's not going

663
00:35:58,150 --> 00:36:02,150
to go.
I need more.

664
00:36:02,230 --> 00:36:05,950
I see more Gretchen and
Starbucks in some locations,

665
00:36:05,950 --> 00:36:07,430
absolutely.
Some people will throw an elbow

666
00:36:07,430 --> 00:36:10,230
at you.
I'm going to call Gaskins Rd.

667
00:36:10,230 --> 00:36:11,550
baby.
Gaskins Rd.

668
00:36:11,550 --> 00:36:12,070
You.
Absolutely.

669
00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:14,990
I think the thing come line will
get wrapped around the door in a

670
00:36:14,990 --> 00:36:17,870
heartbeat. 2 pieces here.
I'm going to go to defense next,

671
00:36:17,870 --> 00:36:20,950
but I got two pieces I want to
kind of put on the coaching

672
00:36:21,790 --> 00:36:25,140
first one.
We came out slow again, both

673
00:36:25,140 --> 00:36:28,100
sides of the ball.
That shit's got to stop, that

674
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:31,900
shit's got to stop.
And I don't know what the

675
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:34,700
coaches have to do.
I don't know what they have to

676
00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:40,580
do to get the players jazzed up.
I mean, I'll say this, coming

677
00:36:40,580 --> 00:36:44,460
back out of that break, the
players seemed more jazzed than

678
00:36:44,460 --> 00:36:47,660
they were at the beginning.
It was a little different,

679
00:36:47,740 --> 00:36:51,420
especially on defense.
Now game one, they were too

680
00:36:51,420 --> 00:36:54,640
jazzed up.
Yeah, they were, they were, they

681
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,520
were through the roof.
So the coaching staff needs to

682
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:02,120
find a happy medium to say even
kill, even kill, even kill.

683
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,000
Not too high, not too low.
You got to find that even kill

684
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,760
shout out to Marty Favreck,
because that was something he

685
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,240
always preached.
Even kill.

686
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,160
Yeah, you got to have a, you got
to have a healthy, healthy

687
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:21,880
balance of like chaos and even
kill this, I guess you can say

688
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,920
like.
You got to know that when I step

689
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,400
on the field and I'm prepared
and I know what I'm doing, but

690
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,560
it's a fucking football game
going on, you know, sometimes we

691
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,480
just look like a dead headlights
out there at different

692
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,920
positions, you know?
But I agree, took too long to,

693
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,520
you know, it.
Or do you know they came out the

694
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:47,280
first drive and walked down the
field fire, You know, they came

695
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,360
out whatever they wanted.
Firing.

696
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,870
They came out firing.
Now the other piece I want to

697
00:37:53,870 --> 00:37:56,270
talk about and and and I think
this is 1.

698
00:37:56,590 --> 00:38:01,030
No one will know the story.
Maybe maybe one day we'll have

699
00:38:01,030 --> 00:38:04,030
the pleasure talking with
somebody off record or bring

700
00:38:04,030 --> 00:38:06,430
them on here.
The timing of when they put car

701
00:38:06,430 --> 00:38:09,830
and drone in in 2 1/2 minutes
left in the fourth quarter.

702
00:38:10,510 --> 00:38:16,830
Now to me it went bad because
the way he looked, the way he

703
00:38:16,830 --> 00:38:19,120
looked.
If he would have came in, in the

704
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,680
third quarter or even the early
part of the fourth quarter, we

705
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,560
might have got a couple scores
because up to that point we've

706
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,360
had five drives.
You know how many yards we had

707
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:33,880
in five drives?
Probably 30. 63 Not as bad as

708
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:38,440
you think it felt like 31 drive
in less than two minutes.

709
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,640
You put 49 on the board.
One drive 49 yards.

710
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:47,430
It's the same players there was.
Actually, he did it without

711
00:38:47,470 --> 00:38:48,710
Dekwon Wright.
Sorry, I just.

712
00:38:49,030 --> 00:38:52,110
Didn't like there and lane was
out too.

713
00:38:52,110 --> 00:38:57,390
Right Lane was out too Lane.
Was not in there, so he went 49

714
00:38:57,390 --> 00:39:00,590
yards real quick.
But the and it's more of the bad

715
00:39:00,590 --> 00:39:04,630
because of could he have come in
earlier because Tally, you

716
00:39:04,630 --> 00:39:08,830
noticed when Grant came off on
the drive before you were like

717
00:39:09,070 --> 00:39:11,270
Grant's not feeling right.
Because you saw.

718
00:39:11,630 --> 00:39:13,390
I didn't say it because you told
me.

719
00:39:13,430 --> 00:39:16,860
Yeah, he was limping, man.
I was telling people after the

720
00:39:16,860 --> 00:39:19,340
game, I was like, that kid is
hurt, you know, and this.

721
00:39:19,340 --> 00:39:22,580
I'm all about having heart.
But if you go back and you look

722
00:39:22,580 --> 00:39:25,900
at it like right before
halftime, he went in early.

723
00:39:26,580 --> 00:39:29,980
He was hurting then.
And I don't know if it just, you

724
00:39:29,980 --> 00:39:33,340
know, got worse or he had got it
taped and the tape started

725
00:39:33,340 --> 00:39:35,180
coming loose or what.
I don't know what was going on.

726
00:39:35,180 --> 00:39:39,260
But more and more in that
second-half, man, he was hurt.

727
00:39:39,460 --> 00:39:42,220
And I think that's part of the
reason why when he threw that

728
00:39:42,220 --> 00:39:45,720
pit coming out of halftime.
He couldn't push, you know, he

729
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:49,400
couldn't push off of his, his
back, his back foot or his back.

730
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,480
So again, not trying to make
excuses for him, but when we're

731
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,080
talking about the timing of the
of caring drones going in, I

732
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:01,840
mean essentially I'm not the
coach, but essentially you got a

733
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,800
00 game and you got the ball and
if you got a kid that's hurt.

734
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,920
You know, or even if you don't
think he's that hurt.

735
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,360
You alright?
You're the captain.

736
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,360
You ready to go?
Yes, Sir.

737
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,320
I can go.
And you go in and throw a pick.

738
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,560
No.
You need to sit down for a

739
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,320
minute.
Let's figure out, let's figure

740
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,160
out what's going on with you.
Let's see what?

741
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,360
We got your body.
There is no it's it's going to

742
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,600
be pressure, but that pressure
is a lot different than going in

743
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,240
down seven with two minutes to
go so.

744
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,920
When I knew it was something a
little bit off was when he

745
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,280
climbed the pocket that one time
and there was 20 yards.

746
00:40:35,660 --> 00:40:40,420
Of green grass in front of them.
And he reset like he was going

747
00:40:40,420 --> 00:40:44,580
to try to throw it and then like
Half ass was was able to try to

748
00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:47,380
try to get a few yards there.
And I was like, something's not

749
00:40:47,380 --> 00:40:50,060
right there, yeah.
That sounded in the game, he

750
00:40:50,060 --> 00:40:52,700
found the defender.
It's what he did the.

751
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:56,980
Whole thing is you talk about 20
yards, we're at what, the 42,

752
00:40:57,180 --> 00:40:59,340
you're inside the 20 there.
You're in fields of.

753
00:40:59,380 --> 00:41:02,420
Rush, we're taking the lead.
We're taking the lead, and our

754
00:41:02,420 --> 00:41:04,420
100% believe we take the lead
there.

755
00:41:04,420 --> 00:41:07,180
That game's over.
We had scored the last 17.

756
00:41:07,180 --> 00:41:11,020
We had pretty much the momentum.
Our defense was pretty jacked.

757
00:41:11,780 --> 00:41:17,660
We took to to Grant Wells to
give him his props, like we were

758
00:41:17,660 --> 00:41:20,220
moving the ball.
I think Cosnell caught a long

759
00:41:20,220 --> 00:41:22,860
pass and you know, got some
yards out to catch there.

760
00:41:22,940 --> 00:41:28,140
On that drive we were driving
the ball down the field and if

761
00:41:28,140 --> 00:41:32,260
you think about before that
played O'Brien before he goes to

762
00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:35,940
play where he plays hide and
seek in an open field and

763
00:41:35,940 --> 00:41:40,180
standing and goes, hey, it's me.
Before that play they tried to

764
00:41:40,180 --> 00:41:45,260
run like a like a speed option
and he just couldn't get to the

765
00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:48,460
end.
He he had, he had some some

766
00:41:48,460 --> 00:41:50,860
lanes to get through.
It essentially looked like the

767
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:56,620
play where QP was ran against
against North Carolina and he

768
00:41:56,620 --> 00:41:58,540
put his foot in the ground and
took off.

769
00:41:58,900 --> 00:41:59,980
What else?
Couldn't put a foot in the

770
00:41:59,980 --> 00:42:01,620
ground.
He put his foot in the ground

771
00:42:01,620 --> 00:42:04,230
and failed, you know, like I was
like he's hurt.

772
00:42:05,310 --> 00:42:07,750
There was a lane because it was
a lane right next to Parker

773
00:42:07,750 --> 00:42:10,470
right there because that that
defender went with this.

774
00:42:10,630 --> 00:42:14,710
I think it was a steel if he.
I mean, is it going to be 3540

775
00:42:14,710 --> 00:42:15,790
yards with Grant?
Probably not.

776
00:42:15,790 --> 00:42:18,070
Is it going to be a probably
1015 yard game?

777
00:42:18,230 --> 00:42:21,910
Yeah, because he had a lane all.
Right, let's flip over to

778
00:42:21,910 --> 00:42:24,470
defense because they are not
getting away with this.

779
00:42:24,750 --> 00:42:26,390
We love them to death.
We were, they were.

780
00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:30,270
They played their nuts off from
the first quarter until the next

781
00:42:30,270 --> 00:42:34,120
to last drive.
The first one, Y'all screamed

782
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,440
about it more than me.
Man, that was some terrible

783
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,960
tackling.
I don't know how many missed

784
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:44,320
tackles we had that we still.
Somehow I didn't realize this

785
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,360
until I relooked up the stats
today.

786
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,680
We still held them under 4 yards
to carry with all those crap

787
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:55,560
tackles and they're running back
ran hard man 45 with that ugly

788
00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:01,640
ass number ran hard like and he
wasn't like super big you know

789
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,840
he wasn't super skilled.
It didn't look like no

790
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,440
disrespect to him but it's not
like he was juking people out of

791
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,680
their shoes and then he just ran
hard and we was missing tackles.

792
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,480
Like you can't, you can't get
somebody you know for a 2 yard

793
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,680
game and let them get a 5 yard
game or you can't get somebody

794
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,200
in the backfield and then they
turned into a 5 yard game.

795
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:24,710
Like that's losing football.
We got to learn how to play

796
00:43:24,710 --> 00:43:27,110
winning football.
You got to make that tackle.

797
00:43:30,750 --> 00:43:33,590
Yeah, I mean he he showed some
moves.

798
00:43:33,590 --> 00:43:37,470
I mean he, he had a little bit
of that Sam Rogers running

799
00:43:37,470 --> 00:43:40,830
style, like a taller Sam Rogers
they're calling crazy ladies.

800
00:43:41,550 --> 00:43:42,750
Yeah.
Did you like?

801
00:43:43,670 --> 00:43:47,870
Yeah, like he when he played it,
it was like real awkward.

802
00:43:47,870 --> 00:43:49,870
But I mean, it was effective,
yeah.

803
00:43:52,390 --> 00:43:54,830
But I mean you got to wrap up
and get him down to the ground

804
00:43:54,830 --> 00:43:56,750
like, I mean that's that's the
that's the thing here.

805
00:43:56,750 --> 00:43:59,790
I mean if you if you wrap up and
drive through him, what what

806
00:43:59,790 --> 00:44:04,910
he's doing don't matter.
Keep to your technique and

807
00:44:04,910 --> 00:44:07,470
finish.
That's very true.

808
00:44:08,470 --> 00:44:13,630
Now, the last piece and pressure
was there all day on for these

809
00:44:13,630 --> 00:44:15,070
quarterback.
We were getting through their

810
00:44:15,070 --> 00:44:17,270
offensive line.
We only wound up with two sacks.

811
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,080
That they've got to finish
because it was more than a

812
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:24,440
couple times they had card down
for sacks or tackle for losses.

813
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,880
It's now I'm going to say this
compared to last year, it's

814
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:32,040
improved, but these guys are
beating.

815
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,600
We're beating offensive lines,
we're beating offensive line.

816
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,040
The Purdue's line was a little
bit beat up, but we're beating

817
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,920
offensive lines to get those
sacks.

818
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:46,760
And Brian, you know what can be
done.

819
00:44:47,450 --> 00:44:50,370
What do you feel like can be
talked to about them, about

820
00:44:50,370 --> 00:44:52,170
that?
Because it's like, you're right

821
00:44:52,250 --> 00:44:53,850
there.
Take the gold.

822
00:44:55,410 --> 00:44:56,530
Yeah.
I mean, I think some of it is

823
00:44:56,530 --> 00:44:58,890
like being a little bit more
disciplined in the pass rush

824
00:44:58,890 --> 00:45:02,010
lane because I think sometimes
we're getting there, but we're

825
00:45:02,010 --> 00:45:03,730
not getting there in a
discipline way.

826
00:45:04,890 --> 00:45:07,730
So if we, if we mind the pass
rush lanes, I think we won't

827
00:45:07,730 --> 00:45:12,770
have those open spots where guys
can step up, step to the right,

828
00:45:12,770 --> 00:45:16,090
step to the left, kind of evade.
Evade the rush and make the

829
00:45:16,090 --> 00:45:20,170
play.
We're getting close enough, but

830
00:45:20,170 --> 00:45:23,690
we can have that equal pressure
across the line.

831
00:45:24,090 --> 00:45:27,370
He won't be able to step up away
from where the pressure's coming

832
00:45:27,370 --> 00:45:28,690
from.
He won't be able to step to the

833
00:45:28,690 --> 00:45:30,330
side from where the pressure's
coming from.

834
00:45:30,770 --> 00:45:32,850
So I think that that consistency
could help.

835
00:45:35,050 --> 00:45:38,050
Tell anything you got on that?
Yeah, pretty much what Brian

836
00:45:38,050 --> 00:45:40,970
said and agreed.
You know, you want to constrict.

837
00:45:41,450 --> 00:45:43,970
You want to constrict the area
that he has back there.

838
00:45:44,430 --> 00:45:50,510
You don't want our two outside
guys to rush in and run by him

839
00:45:50,910 --> 00:45:53,150
and then our inside guys be too
tight.

840
00:45:53,390 --> 00:45:57,550
So it leaves a lane you know,
you want, you really want that

841
00:45:57,550 --> 00:45:59,990
whole line to know okay, I know
what he's doing.

842
00:46:00,230 --> 00:46:03,190
So I have to keep this lane
right here, you know, and I want

843
00:46:03,190 --> 00:46:05,950
to keep this arm free because
he's going to have this gap.

844
00:46:06,390 --> 00:46:08,830
So it's just like you said,
playing with each other and

845
00:46:08,830 --> 00:46:13,130
knowing your knowing your fits.
I'm glad to see us getting to

846
00:46:13,130 --> 00:46:15,410
the quarterback because it
looked like a lot of times last

847
00:46:15,410 --> 00:46:20,650
year we couldn't do that at all.
So it comes down to us just

848
00:46:21,490 --> 00:46:23,490
working together, man.
You know what I'm saying?

849
00:46:23,490 --> 00:46:25,850
Yeah, you want to get a sack,
but we want the team to get a

850
00:46:25,850 --> 00:46:28,450
sack.
So if you missed it, we know the

851
00:46:28,450 --> 00:46:31,170
next guys got it.
So I think that's what we got to

852
00:46:31,170 --> 00:46:34,130
get better at.
Absolutely.

853
00:46:34,830 --> 00:46:36,870
All right.
So there's all that went bad.

854
00:46:36,870 --> 00:46:38,910
I don't know how long that
segment went compared to the

855
00:46:38,910 --> 00:46:41,590
previous segment.
It was longer, in my opinion

856
00:46:41,590 --> 00:46:44,950
because we kept talking, but now
we're on the phone.

857
00:46:45,270 --> 00:46:46,110
Us.
Keep talking.

858
00:46:46,110 --> 00:46:47,350
No fucking way.
No way.

859
00:46:47,430 --> 00:46:51,310
First of all, Tally, I got to
ask because Andretti noticed it

860
00:46:51,310 --> 00:46:52,870
here.
He's feeling the hat.

861
00:46:52,950 --> 00:46:54,990
Did you purchase that this
weekend?

862
00:46:55,270 --> 00:46:59,110
I did Alumni Hall, man.
I went to Alumni Hall and I seen

863
00:46:59,110 --> 00:47:01,910
it and I was like, Yep, that's
my hat for this weekend.

864
00:47:01,910 --> 00:47:03,430
I actually got another one as
well.

865
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,160
So I got a couple of different
hats, but this was the one that

866
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,960
I wore to the game and the first
one that I bought when I got

867
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,360
there Friday night.
They got a lot of cool stuff

868
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:15,720
there, man.
I mean, I know they got them

869
00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:17,720
online too.
I've seen them online, but I

870
00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:21,240
didn't know I was going to like
it as much as I did until I seen

871
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:23,760
it in person.
So I was like, yeah, let me get

872
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,360
that.
Let me grab this again.

873
00:47:26,060 --> 00:47:28,180
I like that Heck, because it's
almost like a throwback to,

874
00:47:28,180 --> 00:47:30,580
like, the 90s.
I love that.

875
00:47:30,580 --> 00:47:31,340
Love that.
All right.

876
00:47:31,460 --> 00:47:34,100
Oh yeah.
So this is a real quick one.

877
00:47:34,780 --> 00:47:40,140
Did anything happen?
We were not prepared for whole

878
00:47:40,180 --> 00:47:43,420
fucking day tornado.
No more.

879
00:47:43,460 --> 00:47:46,940
I mean, I'm not saying anything
because everything that happened

880
00:47:46,940 --> 00:47:51,020
then happened to the kids on the
field the whole day.

881
00:47:52,140 --> 00:47:54,260
It was a lot.
There's a lot going on.

882
00:47:54,260 --> 00:47:56,020
Well, you know.
What I mean well.

883
00:47:56,900 --> 00:47:59,500
We're sitting around, we're
trying to figure out because

884
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:03,340
it's like Tally got a 7 hour
drive back to Alabama and he's

885
00:48:03,340 --> 00:48:07,380
like man, if if I'm going to
make it to Bristol tonight, I

886
00:48:07,420 --> 00:48:10,340
need to at least like leave by
10, maybe 9.

887
00:48:11,300 --> 00:48:13,580
We're sitting here like if we
want to get back to Rich before

888
00:48:13,580 --> 00:48:16,380
2-3 in the morning, like this is
what time we going to kick.

889
00:48:16,860 --> 00:48:21,080
So we're all around.
All different sorts of places.

890
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,680
It was the entire day and you
could only think about what was

891
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,960
going through the kids, so
usually this one will be better.

892
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:31,080
But for Saturday whole day,
nobody was prepared for all that

893
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,000
stuff that happened.
No, it was a lot, man.

894
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,560
It was a lot.
And then it's just being your

895
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,960
mindset is I'm getting there,
you know, we've all been to to

896
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,600
games.
I'm getting there.

897
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:43,880
I'm gonna tailgate it a little
bit.

898
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,000
I'm gonna go in the game.
I'm gonna watch a game.

899
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,670
I'm gonna holler at my boys,
then I'm gonna head home.

900
00:48:50,630 --> 00:48:53,870
None of that happened that way.
It was like, you got there, you

901
00:48:53,910 --> 00:48:56,870
got ready to play.
It started raining.

902
00:48:56,870 --> 00:49:01,430
You didn't know what to do.
You you get pushed out into the

903
00:49:01,670 --> 00:49:04,270
the, the under the, the
bleachers and the police is

904
00:49:04,270 --> 00:49:06,350
coming through saying you got to
leave, you got to get out.

905
00:49:06,670 --> 00:49:08,590
And we like, no, we're not going
out in that.

906
00:49:08,590 --> 00:49:13,470
I ain't going in.
That oh, my God, today was nuts.

907
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,480
And then sitting around looking
at Curtis and Brian, like, what

908
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:17,960
do we do?
Do we wait and see?

909
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:19,320
Well, it's going to be updated
at 3.

910
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:20,600
It's going to be updated at
3:30.

911
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:21,760
It's going to be updated at
4:00.

912
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,040
There.
Are they going to start at 7:00?

913
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,920
It's like we just didn't know,
man.

914
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,520
But through all that, I can say
like, it was an awesome day.

915
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,400
Through all of that, we lost.
Like, it was awesome to be in

916
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,920
Blacksburg.
It was awesome to get the seats

917
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,200
we had.
But yes, I'm going to stop it

918
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:43,130
right there that that the entire
day was we didn't know none of

919
00:49:43,130 --> 00:49:44,690
that was going to happen.
None of it.

920
00:49:44,810 --> 00:49:48,730
And it wasn't just the well, I
plan to do this and that and

921
00:49:48,730 --> 00:49:52,170
that and I'm not going to get to
all of that like that's that's

922
00:49:52,170 --> 00:49:55,930
every time you go you always
over plan always when you when

923
00:49:55,930 --> 00:49:58,130
you go to a game like, all
right, I'm going to make this

924
00:49:58,130 --> 00:50:01,130
tailgate, this tailgate, I'm
going to go by this bar for like

925
00:50:01,130 --> 00:50:03,370
10 minutes, 20 minutes, thirty
minutes, whatever it is.

926
00:50:03,650 --> 00:50:06,210
Then I'm going to go into the
stadium at like 11/11/30.

927
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,120
Like you make all those plans,
all those grand plans, but you

928
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,280
might get to do half of that
because like everything takes a

929
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,280
little bit longer than you think
it is, right?

930
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:19,080
It wasn't just that, it was
everything else on top of.

931
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:23,720
That all right, Y'all, we got to
talk about this real quick and

932
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:25,480
I'm gonna.
I'm gonna start it.

933
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,560
I got the I got to run down a
little different.

934
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,360
But what we can do better moving
forward.

935
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,440
I'm gonna start at the bottom
here because Coach Prime

936
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,200
mentioned it in his.
Presser about There has been hot

937
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:43,400
conversation about offensive
line rotation and Brian, you

938
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,680
wrote this on here and like
what?

939
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,040
What do you feel like we need to
see right now?

940
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,360
Honestly, and I mean, as much as
I feel like he had a little bit

941
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,160
of a redemption tour this
offseason, we we got to do

942
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:01,680
something at at right tackle
because as.

943
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,680
Decent of strides as he's made
to at least get back from a PFF

944
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,960
standpoint in the ballpark of
where he was at two years ago.

945
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,720
With pass pro we, I mean it's
still regression in the run

946
00:51:13,720 --> 00:51:17,160
blocking and it's not just the
physicality piece of it.

947
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,520
We're talking mental mistakes.
We're talking execution errors.

948
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,040
This is something that a
three-year starter should not

949
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,920
be.
It should not be happening to

950
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,000
them.
So Mike Siegel, to say it, it's

951
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:38,480
like, it's just not physicality.
It's running behind your own

952
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,720
guard, like, and standing there.
Just stuff like that, man.

953
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:45,600
Like we got to see.
I don't know, man.

954
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,200
You got to put some urgency on
these boys for real.

955
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,480
Let's do I'd like to see Jack at
center and maybe move the move

956
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,640
Kaden back to guard too.
So I mean, I think we can play

957
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,680
around with some stuff to maybe
find something else that works

958
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:03,520
to create a little more balance.
Because if we can't start

959
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,600
running the ball effectively,
whether it's by a quarterback

960
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,360
change, where it's an old line
shuffle, whatever we need to do,

961
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,720
we've got to spark some sort of
rushing efficiency.

962
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:16,520
We don't have to be great, we
don't have to go out there and

963
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,480
be over 150 every game, but we
need to be at least approaching

964
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:25,120
that every game.
Yep, I agree with that tenfold,

965
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,160
and I think what you just said
about.

966
00:52:27,620 --> 00:52:30,740
Is it the Hollyfield move in the
center, Let Kaden go back to

967
00:52:30,740 --> 00:52:33,620
more of a natural guard spot?
People are getting, you know,

968
00:52:33,620 --> 00:52:36,140
they're throwing them about.
Those snaps, those snaps he's

969
00:52:36,140 --> 00:52:39,100
had had some low ones.
He has had some struggles.

970
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:42,540
He's had some good moments.
But The thing is, if that's Jack

971
00:52:42,540 --> 00:52:45,140
Hollyfield's natural position,
you put Kaden back at his

972
00:52:45,140 --> 00:52:48,860
natural position at right, and
then I'm.

973
00:52:49,020 --> 00:52:51,660
I'm gonna say it.
Y'all tell me I'm crazy.

974
00:52:53,180 --> 00:52:55,560
Oh my God, Pat.
Get.

975
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:00,680
Out of here, Pat.
Get out of here, Pat.

976
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,840
I mean, you know we Greg Boone
2.0, the Wild Turkey.

977
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,520
Wild Turkey Two point Wild
Turkey 2.0 If it'll give us some

978
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,600
Russian yards right now, maybe
we need to try it.

979
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,280
We can try it, but what I think,
what I think also if you kick

980
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,800
Kay more back out to right
guard, do you try Brody Meadows?

981
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,440
Because I think the times we've
seen Brody on the field, Brody

982
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,080
does have a little nasty streak
to him.

983
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,480
Put the tackle, right tackle.
Yeah.

984
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,160
Again, The thing is, so we got,
all you're saying is we got to

985
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:34,960
try to try something.
We got to try.

986
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,000
You got to try something because
what we doing is it ain't

987
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,280
working.
All right, I'm.

988
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,600
I'm going to let y'all boys do
this next one real, real easy.

989
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,960
What must we do better when
other teams run the ball at us?

990
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,160
Tackle them.
Wrap them up, wrap them up.

991
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,630
Wrap them up.
We ain't going to say no more on

992
00:53:54,630 --> 00:53:59,190
that because you because I think
what we saw from Week 1 to week

993
00:53:59,190 --> 00:54:02,270
two in the run fits like they
got that, they got that

994
00:54:02,270 --> 00:54:04,670
adjusted.
Probably a big piece was Tisdale

995
00:54:04,670 --> 00:54:07,430
being at Mike a lot the older
guy in the room.

996
00:54:08,270 --> 00:54:11,830
Coach mentioned that.
But that got better.

997
00:54:11,830 --> 00:54:13,030
We got to get the tackling
better.

998
00:54:13,550 --> 00:54:15,070
I got a feeling they're going to
be doing they're going to be

999
00:54:15,070 --> 00:54:18,070
chasing the giant donut around
the drill fields and then the

1000
00:54:18,070 --> 00:54:22,430
Beamer Barn this week tackle get
them down all right.

1001
00:54:23,050 --> 00:54:27,610
But the big one is and we've
mentioned it, we've got to get

1002
00:54:27,610 --> 00:54:29,530
better rushing to ball.
We talked about the offensive

1003
00:54:29,530 --> 00:54:32,810
line, Brian, you've mentioned a
couple times you mentioned it

1004
00:54:32,810 --> 00:54:35,810
last week and I think on a
couple plays we saw it where if

1005
00:54:35,810 --> 00:54:38,170
we did have the wider receiving
alignments it would open up the

1006
00:54:38,170 --> 00:54:41,010
rushing lanes.
But I'm I'm, I'm just going to

1007
00:54:41,530 --> 00:54:45,530
y'all just y'all say it because
we we've eventually we've we've

1008
00:54:45,530 --> 00:54:49,650
led up to this point and
whichever one y'all want to lead

1009
00:54:49,650 --> 00:54:50,900
and.
I'm on.

1010
00:54:50,900 --> 00:54:53,260
I'm agreeing with y'all we.
We talked about it already.

1011
00:54:54,820 --> 00:54:56,780
Yeah, it just.
Seems to be your your bag man.

1012
00:54:57,980 --> 00:55:03,220
I mean yeah when you think about
the just we got to create

1013
00:55:03,220 --> 00:55:05,900
something you know what I'm
saying and and teams are

1014
00:55:05,900 --> 00:55:07,900
starting to load the box and
they're starting to get in there

1015
00:55:07,900 --> 00:55:10,860
tight.
So why not spread it out if you

1016
00:55:10,860 --> 00:55:13,580
can spread it out.
And again, when you talk about,

1017
00:55:14,100 --> 00:55:18,020
I'll say it when you talk about
when drones got in the game and

1018
00:55:18,020 --> 00:55:22,400
then that lane did open up, he
took it and ran for about 15

1019
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,200
yards.
You got to understand, he ran

1020
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,440
for just about more yards than
we had the whole game on that

1021
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,920
one run.
And I'm not saying that he's God

1022
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,600
or he needs to be the starter
and this and that.

1023
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,560
I don't.
I'm telling you, we got to do

1024
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,320
some things different.
We're going to have to get them

1025
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,760
out-of-the-box.
Spreading them out a little bit

1026
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,320
will help us do that.
Now spreading them out a little

1027
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,840
bit, being hitting some
receivers is going to help as

1028
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,000
well.
But I think it does open up some

1029
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,130
run lanes as well.
Give me drones for Q B1 this

1030
00:55:50,130 --> 00:55:51,290
week.
That's what I want.

1031
00:55:52,090 --> 00:55:56,650
That's what I want to and I
think the big thing to me,

1032
00:55:56,730 --> 00:55:59,170
Tally, you kind of alluded to
it, but I mean, I'll, I'll kind

1033
00:55:59,170 --> 00:56:04,370
of under score it here.
Decisiveness, like whether

1034
00:56:04,370 --> 00:56:09,250
whether he hit or missed, he did
it with confidence and

1035
00:56:09,250 --> 00:56:14,250
decisiveness.
If we can get that to work more

1036
00:56:14,250 --> 00:56:16,090
consistently then we might be on
to something.

1037
00:56:16,810 --> 00:56:20,610
Yeah, definitely.
I agreed.

1038
00:56:20,730 --> 00:56:24,050
I agree, Donald.
I mean, I agree, just to give

1039
00:56:24,050 --> 00:56:25,690
myself a chance, especially this
week.

1040
00:56:26,450 --> 00:56:28,730
Especially this week I think if
Grant is hot at.

1041
00:56:28,730 --> 00:56:30,810
Least see what you got.
Especially with, you know,

1042
00:56:30,810 --> 00:56:35,570
Grant's at least banged up, so
he's not going to be whatever

1043
00:56:35,570 --> 00:56:37,490
the best version of Grant Wells
is.

1044
00:56:37,890 --> 00:56:40,250
Whatever we would get against
Rutgers, we're not getting that

1045
00:56:40,250 --> 00:56:40,890
this weekend.
We're not.

1046
00:56:40,890 --> 00:56:42,450
Getting this week.
We're not getting this week so

1047
00:56:42,450 --> 00:56:44,010
but the whole.
Drones in there.

1048
00:56:44,250 --> 00:56:47,050
See if you can scheme up some
different things to get this.

1049
00:56:47,470 --> 00:56:51,350
Offensive run game going and
give them your best fucking

1050
00:56:51,350 --> 00:56:53,990
shot.
But I'll say it and I'll say it

1051
00:56:53,990 --> 00:56:56,150
again.
I've said it to y'all and this

1052
00:56:56,150 --> 00:57:00,030
has been my big thing.
The quarterback has to run the

1053
00:57:00,030 --> 00:57:01,470
ball.
The quarterback has to pull on

1054
00:57:01,470 --> 00:57:04,310
those RPO's.
That quarterback starts pulling.

1055
00:57:04,950 --> 00:57:07,830
That linebacker that was in the
gap that Parker missed, You know

1056
00:57:07,830 --> 00:57:10,310
what?
He might be taking sidesteps.

1057
00:57:10,310 --> 00:57:12,910
And the next thing you know but
she was actually got a lane to

1058
00:57:12,910 --> 00:57:15,830
still go to and somebody brought
up a good point.

1059
00:57:16,540 --> 00:57:17,500
Somebody brought up a good
point.

1060
00:57:17,500 --> 00:57:20,140
I think it was Billy Ray
actually who wanted to space

1061
00:57:20,140 --> 00:57:24,540
this when he says I don't know
if they are giving them an

1062
00:57:24,540 --> 00:57:27,500
option to pull the ball.
I don't know if they're just

1063
00:57:27,500 --> 00:57:29,820
telling them to line up and hand
it off.

1064
00:57:30,340 --> 00:57:32,340
We don't know.
I hope you.

1065
00:57:32,540 --> 00:57:33,980
I hope that ain't what we're
doing.

1066
00:57:35,540 --> 00:57:38,060
If somebody knows Tyler boy and
call him tonight, what is it?

1067
00:57:38,060 --> 00:57:41,460
It's about 10:30 there.
He should be good and he should

1068
00:57:41,460 --> 00:57:45,570
be good and showered and eating
and fingers are orange from

1069
00:57:45,570 --> 00:57:49,170
eating Cheetos.
Somebody text him and tell him

1070
00:57:49,690 --> 00:57:52,050
you can't run an RPO unless you
give an option.

1071
00:57:52,250 --> 00:57:54,610
Run past option.
We need.

1072
00:57:54,650 --> 00:57:57,650
We need some options in there.
Stop telling them just to hand

1073
00:57:57,650 --> 00:58:01,570
the ball off if that's what you
do, but that's a good question

1074
00:58:01,570 --> 00:58:05,050
if they doing that.
I mean, I'm sure that I'm sure

1075
00:58:05,050 --> 00:58:08,250
some of those are design runs
and he's carrying out a fate,

1076
00:58:09,610 --> 00:58:13,610
but that's got it that that's as
a design to set up.

1077
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:18,520
What you do later call later in
a different series, whatever it

1078
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:23,240
may be, right?
So at some point some some of

1079
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:28,120
these reads are not getting read
properly or if it's one of those

1080
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:32,440
where it's getting slow played,
eventually you got to just see

1081
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,720
what you do by swinging it out
there, see what you do by

1082
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,840
keeping it.
You can't just keep handing the

1083
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,520
ball off into the into the gap,
especially when we're not

1084
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,940
blocking it very well up front,
yeah.

1085
00:58:43,100 --> 00:58:46,620
No, we'll we'll see.
So again, we all think it's got

1086
00:58:46,620 --> 00:58:48,260
to happen.
We think we flipped a count on

1087
00:58:48,260 --> 00:58:52,420
drones this week.
We shall see Saturday at 3:30.

1088
00:58:52,420 --> 00:58:54,780
Big 10 network I think is what
it's on.

1089
00:58:56,180 --> 00:58:58,020
Thanks.
Sounds right.

1090
00:58:58,540 --> 00:58:59,940
Alright.
Well, before we get to know the

1091
00:58:59,940 --> 00:59:05,380
enemy and that is of Rutgers, we
do have some ads from our

1092
00:59:05,380 --> 00:59:07,460
digital partners and Main Street
Pharmacy.

1093
00:59:09,620 --> 00:59:12,100
I can probably save you a lot of
money and I can take a lot

1094
00:59:12,100 --> 00:59:14,140
better care of you.
That's pretty much it.

1095
00:59:14,580 --> 00:59:16,660
My name is Jeremy Counts and I'm
a pharmacist.

1096
00:59:17,060 --> 00:59:19,300
I own and operate Main Street
Pharmacy here in downtown

1097
00:59:19,300 --> 00:59:21,380
Blacksburg.
My brother's A pharmacist.

1098
00:59:21,380 --> 00:59:22,860
I'm a pharmacist.
My uncle's A pharmacist.

1099
00:59:22,860 --> 00:59:25,060
My dad's a pharmacist.
I remember he would give me M

1100
00:59:25,060 --> 00:59:27,540
and M's to count in little pill
counters.

1101
00:59:27,740 --> 00:59:30,340
This is something I've always
done and I'm just lucky that

1102
00:59:30,660 --> 00:59:34,020
what I know so well is something
that I can do and feel good

1103
00:59:34,020 --> 00:59:37,090
about it and get back to people.
Pharmacies are your frontline

1104
00:59:37,090 --> 00:59:39,610
defense.
Pharmacy's job is to make sure

1105
00:59:39,610 --> 00:59:41,970
you're getting optimal care for
the lowest price possible.

1106
00:59:42,490 --> 00:59:45,330
Also, we take the pressure off
of emergency rooms.

1107
00:59:45,450 --> 00:59:47,210
I'll tell people immediately
when they need to go to the

1108
00:59:47,210 --> 00:59:49,410
doctor, or I'll tell them if
they just need a cream over the

1109
00:59:49,410 --> 00:59:51,530
counter.
If there's something that isn't

1110
00:59:51,530 --> 00:59:54,170
commercially available, if it's
something that's not available

1111
00:59:54,170 --> 00:59:56,730
in a certain strength or a
certain form or anything like

1112
00:59:56,730 --> 00:59:58,970
that, we'll make it Tailor made
medications.

1113
00:59:59,090 --> 01:00:00,890
Some of those options save
people a lot of money.

1114
01:00:01,210 --> 01:00:03,330
What motivates me?
I get to take care of people and

1115
01:00:03,330 --> 01:00:05,130
limit Blacksburg.
That's all I need.

1116
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,600

1123
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:32,810
Now back to the episode.
All righty, and we are back to

1124
01:00:32,810 --> 01:00:34,730
know the enemy.
Let's talk about Rutgers a

1125
01:00:34,730 --> 01:00:36,370
little bit.
Let's start on the offensive

1126
01:00:36,370 --> 01:00:40,210
side of the ball, Mr. Siegler.
Let's get a little skiing.

1127
01:00:40,210 --> 01:00:41,770
What they're going to be
running.

1128
01:00:42,250 --> 01:00:44,890
We should be familiar with this.
Boy, it's a little Smash Mouth

1129
01:00:44,890 --> 01:00:45,970
spread.
RPO.

1130
01:00:49,050 --> 01:00:50,330
Hey, run.
We want to run.

1131
01:00:52,130 --> 01:00:58,190
I'll give you a fun fact, too.
Kirk Sharaka, the offensive

1132
01:00:58,190 --> 01:01:02,270
coordinator at Rutgers, was the
offensive coordinator at Penn

1133
01:01:02,270 --> 01:01:07,110
State University when Tyler
Bowen was the COOC in 2020.

1134
01:01:07,910 --> 01:01:14,110
So we got a little former COOC
battle here, so that's going to

1135
01:01:14,110 --> 01:01:17,350
be interesting.
Very interesting, probably know

1136
01:01:17,390 --> 01:01:20,400
each other like.
Like the back of their hand.

1137
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,120
So I mean they at least got to
know each other for one year.

1138
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,880
So they they kind of know
probably tendencies to a point.

1139
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:31,960
But I mean Sharaka's offense, I
mean it's a balanced attack.

1140
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,520
They're pretty much near even in
passing and rushing yardage

1141
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:38,440
through two games so far.
They utilize a athletic dual

1142
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,720
threat quarterback to enhance
their run game.

1143
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,000
The the it's going to be design
runs, it's going to be RPO's and

1144
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,400
it's going to be you know,
keepers out of the backfield,

1145
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:50,400
you know when a play breaks
down.

1146
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,480
So you'll you'll see all three
versions of of the quarterback

1147
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,440
getting in the action there.
As far as the passing game, it's

1148
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,440
a lot of a lot of bubble and
slip screens, so you're going to

1149
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,880
see that a lot in the passing
game.

1150
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:04,840
They will go vertical, but
they're going to use that

1151
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,720
lateral stuff to kind of set all
that up.

1152
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:12,440
And their RPO is also very slant
heavy so that they will use the

1153
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:16,250
RPO anywhere on the field.
It's not just a red zone or

1154
01:02:16,250 --> 01:02:18,770
scoring area type of play for
them.

1155
01:02:18,770 --> 01:02:21,930
It's something that they'll use
anywhere on the field and it's

1156
01:02:21,930 --> 01:02:24,730
very, very much slant heavy.
They they don't run a whole lot

1157
01:02:24,730 --> 01:02:28,970
of other variations of the RPO
in that offense, so.

1158
01:02:29,050 --> 01:02:31,410
Tyler, don't let them come out
and run out of shit better than

1159
01:02:31,410 --> 01:02:33,970
us and beat us this weekend, all
right?

1160
01:02:34,650 --> 01:02:39,090
Come on, man, let's get some
nuts together today or this

1161
01:02:39,090 --> 01:02:42,050
weekend.
Going into the talking about the

1162
01:02:42,050 --> 01:02:44,610
enemy a little bit.
I'll go first.

1163
01:02:45,050 --> 01:02:46,770
Just introducing their running
back.

1164
01:02:46,970 --> 01:02:52,170
Looks like he is a Junior #5
Kyle, Monica.

1165
01:02:52,850 --> 01:02:54,170
I guess that's his last name, I
think.

1166
01:02:54,250 --> 01:02:57,290
It's the name Guy.
I'm not Managa Manunga.

1167
01:02:57,890 --> 01:03:00,890
Something crazy, but anyway.
That's what tally I butchered

1168
01:03:00,890 --> 01:03:02,810
more names on this program than
anybody.

1169
01:03:03,090 --> 01:03:04,810
You know, China.
Want me to last?

1170
01:03:05,170 --> 01:03:08,010
Yeah, he Curtis and butchering
names is like this man.

1171
01:03:08,010 --> 01:03:10,090
You good?
I watched him, man.

1172
01:03:10,090 --> 01:03:12,330
They use them a little bit out
of the backfield he is.

1173
01:03:13,140 --> 01:03:18,700
About a 5 foot nine ��200 or
about a 2205210 running back.

1174
01:03:20,100 --> 01:03:26,380
Class of 2020.
A Don Briscoe Prep product, he

1175
01:03:26,380 --> 01:03:32,940
was a low three star.
About a 82 offers from Rutgers,

1176
01:03:33,540 --> 01:03:38,180
Air Force, Army and Buffalo.
Looks like the only offers that

1177
01:03:38,180 --> 01:03:44,470
he had coming out of high school
he's got about. 200 yards this

1178
01:03:44,470 --> 01:03:47,910
year, averaging about I think
214, something like that.

1179
01:03:48,430 --> 01:03:52,190
He's averaging about 5 yards to
carry and he is catching the

1180
01:03:52,190 --> 01:03:57,350
ball out of the backfield as
well, so might have a hands full

1181
01:03:57,350 --> 01:04:00,030
with him.
You know, just them using him in

1182
01:04:00,030 --> 01:04:02,030
a couple of different ways.
What you got on him?

1183
01:04:02,030 --> 01:04:03,590
See.
Yeah, man.

1184
01:04:03,590 --> 01:04:05,670
I mean, he's a, he's a running
back, runs with good balance.

1185
01:04:05,670 --> 01:04:07,830
I mean he talked about his kind
of credentials there.

1186
01:04:08,490 --> 01:04:11,850
This is a classic Schiano
development type project that's

1187
01:04:11,850 --> 01:04:13,970
really turned into a pretty
solid playmaker.

1188
01:04:14,810 --> 01:04:17,490
He'll shake off tackles if you
don't wrap kind of kind of like

1189
01:04:17,490 --> 01:04:20,610
we saw with Mockaby.
So expect a little bit more of

1190
01:04:20,610 --> 01:04:24,610
that, got a wrap up, bring down
good vision and patience at the

1191
01:04:24,610 --> 01:04:27,690
point of attack which would you
know you need that in the the

1192
01:04:27,690 --> 01:04:30,210
Smash Mouth spread there
especially with the RPO elements

1193
01:04:30,210 --> 01:04:33,410
thrown in there and and he's
used in the passing game like

1194
01:04:33,410 --> 01:04:37,320
Tally you alluded to, mostly on
kind of swings and wheels.

1195
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,200
There's not a ton else it's
usually going to be something on

1196
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,920
the perimeter or they'll slip
him out of the backfield a

1197
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,360
little bit.
But they're not throwing screens

1198
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:46,920
to him.
All the screens are pretty much

1199
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:51,200
exclusively to the wideouts.
And I will say his loan this

1200
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:58,520
year is about 25 yards, so he's
not a super burner, but they are

1201
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,800
using him as their primary back
to get those tough yards.

1202
01:05:03,350 --> 01:05:04,790
Well, they're they're using them
what they're supposed to.

1203
01:05:04,790 --> 01:05:07,510
Even for if you told us right
now, five is looks great.

1204
01:05:07,510 --> 01:05:09,870
You told us four right now we'd
be the happiest fan.

1205
01:05:10,070 --> 01:05:14,550
Base in the country.
Let's give them to us because.

1206
01:05:14,990 --> 01:05:17,430
Brian, you mentioned up at the
beginning they are a pretty

1207
01:05:17,430 --> 01:05:21,710
balanced team if you look across
their stat lines and one guy who

1208
01:05:21,710 --> 01:05:27,070
has reaping the benefits of that
is Jaquay Jackson, 6 foot 290

1209
01:05:27,070 --> 01:05:30,190
pound wide receiver out of
Sierra Catholic in Pittsburgh,

1210
01:05:30,230 --> 01:05:34,470
PA.
He was a division to transfer

1211
01:05:34,790 --> 01:05:37,350
from California.
Pennsylvania University.

1212
01:05:37,790 --> 01:05:39,790
Look that up.
It is a real university.

1213
01:05:39,870 --> 01:05:41,430
I'm making it.
I'm making it up.

1214
01:05:42,510 --> 01:05:50,470
And while he was there last year
with that school, 1178 guards 13

1215
01:05:50,470 --> 01:05:55,070
touchdowns on 77 receptions in a
senior near there.

1216
01:05:55,510 --> 01:06:00,230
He transferred up and so far
this year.

1217
01:06:01,190 --> 01:06:03,270
You know, first game didn't do
much against Rutgers.

1218
01:06:03,430 --> 01:06:09,830
Lit it up last week against
Temple. 4 catches, 95 yards,

1219
01:06:09,830 --> 01:06:12,550
including a long one of 65
yards.

1220
01:06:13,790 --> 01:06:14,910
What are we seeing?
What?

1221
01:06:15,030 --> 01:06:19,710
What is?
What is this one all about?

1222
01:06:20,550 --> 01:06:22,670
Yeah, man.
Like you said, he's a transfer

1223
01:06:22,670 --> 01:06:24,750
in he he's got really good
hands.

1224
01:06:25,070 --> 01:06:27,950
I like the way he uses his hand.
He catches the ball real well in

1225
01:06:27,950 --> 01:06:32,120
traffic.
He is a threat in the

1226
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:34,680
intermediate levels.
He can go a little deep on you,

1227
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,040
threat with the screen, but I
think the biggest attribute he

1228
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,760
has is that he catches the ball
well in traffic and can go after

1229
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:46,040
some jump balls as well.
Yeah, And you know, he's

1230
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,560
definitely not the only guy.
He, he's sort of the smaller guy

1231
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:56,040
because we kind of look across
it, you know, look at look at

1232
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,840
Isaiah Washington.
I've got stuff away just for a

1233
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,720
second here.
Isaiah Washington is another one

1234
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:07,880
of their leading receivers.
He's 6 foot, 3200 plus pounds,

1235
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:13,680
big guy, 55 catches, you know,
close to 60 yards.

1236
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:18,280
And the whole thing is a lot of
these guys for Rutgers right

1237
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:19,600
now.
They're seasoned.

1238
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:26,480
They're seasoned, obviously.
Jackson tons of time down at D2.

1239
01:07:27,540 --> 01:07:30,580
Cleans the time down at D2, So
he's got the experience there

1240
01:07:30,580 --> 01:07:32,460
and I know people can say, well,
that's the lower level.

1241
01:07:32,780 --> 01:07:35,100
You know what, That's one of the
best things about the Portland

1242
01:07:35,100 --> 01:07:37,340
transfers thing.
It is you've got a guy who's at

1243
01:07:37,340 --> 01:07:39,060
a lower level can come up and
play.

1244
01:07:39,980 --> 01:07:42,380
Washington's been down at
Rutgers since 19.

1245
01:07:43,380 --> 01:07:46,580
So the the one thing I'm not
seeing and Brian really didn't

1246
01:07:46,580 --> 01:07:51,300
mention much of it, is you're
not seeing a lot from them.

1247
01:07:51,300 --> 01:07:57,300
As far as passing game goes like
like they're staying balanced.

1248
01:07:57,690 --> 01:08:00,130
But they are skewing more
towards the run game I've.

1249
01:08:01,890 --> 01:08:05,090
Been seeing that as well.
So, and The thing is, they've

1250
01:08:05,090 --> 01:08:07,970
been playing defense.
They've also in Cal.

1251
01:08:07,970 --> 01:08:09,130
I don't know if this is
possible.

1252
01:08:09,610 --> 01:08:12,650
Did you know they played two
offenses worse than the Hokies?

1253
01:08:13,050 --> 01:08:15,610
I think it was possible.
I really didn't think that was

1254
01:08:15,650 --> 01:08:18,250
possible.
So a lot of, a lot of people are

1255
01:08:18,250 --> 01:08:20,010
concerned like this is a really
good defense.

1256
01:08:20,010 --> 01:08:23,569
And it's like they've been
playing, they played Temple and

1257
01:08:23,569 --> 01:08:26,930
they played Northwestern.
Listen, Temple can be up and

1258
01:08:26,930 --> 01:08:28,939
down.
And what's going on at

1259
01:08:28,939 --> 01:08:30,979
Northwestern, right?
Now Oh yeah, you expected them

1260
01:08:30,979 --> 01:08:32,500
to have a rough.
Oh my God.

1261
01:08:32,620 --> 01:08:34,340
Like.
Yeah, people transferring out.

1262
01:08:34,340 --> 01:08:37,060
The coach gets in trouble.
You got people talking about a

1263
01:08:37,660 --> 01:08:40,460
Dick car wash.
I don't know what all of that

1264
01:08:40,460 --> 01:08:45,819
stuff like you expected them to
have a a rough year, so that's

1265
01:08:45,819 --> 01:08:47,580
kind of crazy.
I was looking at that stuff as

1266
01:08:47,580 --> 01:08:50,300
well.
When you talk about just their

1267
01:08:50,300 --> 01:08:54,340
by receivers to the running
backs getting to, I guess I'll

1268
01:08:54,340 --> 01:08:56,340
go ahead and and get into the
next.

1269
01:08:56,939 --> 01:08:58,779
Player that we're talking about
the quarterback.

1270
01:08:58,979 --> 01:09:00,340
You know we talked about where I
received him.

1271
01:09:00,340 --> 01:09:04,779
We talked about running back.
That quarterback Gavin Winsett

1272
01:09:05,300 --> 01:09:10,620
looks like he is a four-star.
He was a four-star quarterback

1273
01:09:10,979 --> 01:09:15,420
out of Kentucky.
Owensburg, Owensboro, KY.

1274
01:09:15,420 --> 01:09:21,460
So I'm not sure what that is,
but he was a a four-star 2021

1275
01:09:21,460 --> 01:09:25,220
kid and he had.
You know, he had tons of offers

1276
01:09:25,220 --> 01:09:29,260
from different places.
He was a projected like fourth

1277
01:09:29,260 --> 01:09:32,420
to seven round guy.
They were kind of comparing him

1278
01:09:32,420 --> 01:09:37,380
to a Jason Stedham, excuse me,
Jared Stedham, so Auburn

1279
01:09:37,380 --> 01:09:41,580
cornerback.
So I mean he's he's a ball

1280
01:09:41,580 --> 01:09:43,540
player, he can run it, he can
throw it.

1281
01:09:45,740 --> 01:09:48,420
Looking at him, he's about 6,
three, ��200.

1282
01:09:48,420 --> 01:09:52,460
So, good size, kid, but kind of
what me and Curtis were talking

1283
01:09:52,460 --> 01:09:56,740
about.
They are really balanced as far

1284
01:09:56,740 --> 01:09:59,860
as running and throwing.
Their number one receiver has

1285
01:09:59,860 --> 01:10:04,660
about 90 yards or 91 yards.
Of course, we talked about the

1286
01:10:04,660 --> 01:10:11,500
running back when said has about
360 yards, 2 touchdowns this

1287
01:10:11,500 --> 01:10:14,060
year.
So not a ton of touchdowns in

1288
01:10:14,060 --> 01:10:16,540
the air, you know?
Not a ton of yards.

1289
01:10:16,540 --> 01:10:21,390
And and and for.
Comparison purposes Grant Wells

1290
01:10:21,390 --> 01:10:26,350
has 494 yards, 5 touchdowns, 2
interceptions, Wimps.

1291
01:10:26,350 --> 01:10:28,670
It doesn't have any
interceptions, but again, it

1292
01:10:28,670 --> 01:10:31,310
doesn't look like he's thrown
about 50 times.

1293
01:10:31,590 --> 01:10:35,270
He's 27 for 50 this year.
So Brian, you got anything on

1294
01:10:35,270 --> 01:10:36,510
him?
Yeah.

1295
01:10:36,510 --> 01:10:38,550
I mean, you know, when you look
at him, he's a really good

1296
01:10:38,550 --> 01:10:41,150
athlete.
He can make plays with his legs,

1297
01:10:42,030 --> 01:10:44,950
makes really decisive reads when
they have that RPO and that's

1298
01:10:44,950 --> 01:10:47,670
really what kind of gets that
offensive going is that he knows

1299
01:10:47,670 --> 01:10:50,670
how to make the decisive reads,
get the ball to where it needs

1300
01:10:50,670 --> 01:10:52,670
to be, whether it's keep it,
whether it's hand it, whether

1301
01:10:52,670 --> 01:10:55,150
it's throw it.
He's usually making the right

1302
01:10:55,150 --> 01:10:59,270
choice there, not shocking in a
Schiano coach team.

1303
01:10:59,270 --> 01:11:02,950
I mean, they're going to be
mostly pretty disciplined across

1304
01:11:02,950 --> 01:11:05,030
the board and it's going to
start with the quarterback

1305
01:11:05,030 --> 01:11:08,560
position as well.
He's accurate enough in the

1306
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,240
short to intermediate game for
what they do.

1307
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,680
He will miss some open receivers
from time to time.

1308
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:18,960
He's not always accurate, but
throws a pretty good deep ball

1309
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:20,240
though.
He can push it down the field

1310
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:24,040
when he needs to and you know
some of the some of the design

1311
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:28,080
runs.
Are are are, you know, drawn up

1312
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:31,520
for him, but most of his yards
are going to be off the RPO in

1313
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,360
the scrambles.
It's not going to be necessarily

1314
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,880
something that's designed
specifically for him to to rush

1315
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,200
the ball.
Well, and as soon as soon as he

1316
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,960
said it tally, I just, I kind of
sunk because it's that he's a

1317
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,920
quarterback that makes decisive
decisions in the RPO.

1318
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,360
And when you hear that, you know
that's why they're having

1319
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,400
success.
Even though the numbers aren't

1320
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,920
there, you probably know they're
they're pushing the ball down

1321
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,720
field, they're playing defense,
they're probably getting first

1322
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,000
down.
They not do anything

1323
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:01,160
spectacular, but they're not
losing games.

1324
01:12:03,270 --> 01:12:05,550
And and complimentary football.
Oh my goodness.

1325
01:12:05,550 --> 01:12:08,310
Oh my goodness.
Well, let let's flip over, Let's

1326
01:12:08,310 --> 01:12:11,590
talk to the last piece, as we
always do, and let's talk about

1327
01:12:11,590 --> 01:12:14,710
the offensive line.
Brian said he took a look and he

1328
01:12:14,710 --> 01:12:19,870
felt like big #72.
Holland Pierce is the kind of

1329
01:12:19,870 --> 01:12:25,830
the the anchor of that line. 6
foot eight, 230 pounds, boys.

1330
01:12:26,710 --> 01:12:30,670
Just he was 68320 coming out of
high school just a couple years

1331
01:12:30,670 --> 01:12:32,510
ago.
Guess how many offers he had?

1332
01:12:33,780 --> 01:12:36,700
33.
Zero.

1333
01:12:36,700 --> 01:12:40,980
He did the Blue Tarski 0.0
offers other than Rutgers.

1334
01:12:41,380 --> 01:12:44,180
That was it.
He went down to Fuma for a year,

1335
01:12:44,180 --> 01:12:46,740
transferred back in and now
Brian.

1336
01:12:46,740 --> 01:12:49,740
What is he doing on that
offensive line and what do they

1337
01:12:49,740 --> 01:12:53,060
look like?
He's the right tackle.

1338
01:12:53,060 --> 01:12:55,860
He's probably overall the best
player from a balanced

1339
01:12:55,860 --> 01:12:58,300
perspective, pass versus run.
He's not really.

1340
01:12:58,300 --> 01:12:59,500
He doesn't really have a
weakness.

1341
01:13:01,510 --> 01:13:03,590
He's not necessarily elite.
You wouldn't call him an elite

1342
01:13:03,950 --> 01:13:08,070
right tackle, but he is very
solid in in both aspects there.

1343
01:13:08,910 --> 01:13:11,830
Overall for the line, I mean
they're they're slightly better

1344
01:13:11,830 --> 01:13:16,190
than Purdue, they're not a
significantly big jump, but

1345
01:13:16,190 --> 01:13:20,070
they're more disciplined and
sound than Purdue was.

1346
01:13:20,070 --> 01:13:22,830
They're not, you're not going to
get a big mistake from them like

1347
01:13:22,830 --> 01:13:25,670
you would against Purdue or or
an ODU.

1348
01:13:26,830 --> 01:13:32,000
Overall solid rushing attack and
and they will allow some

1349
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,320
penetration on those run plays
though so we do have a chance to

1350
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,040
pitch them for some negative
plays and that's going to be

1351
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:40,320
important getting them behind
the sticks and making wimps that

1352
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:42,640
have to throw from the pocket a
little bit more and and not be

1353
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:44,840
able to kind of attack us with
the RPO as much.

1354
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:49,920
And you know, we talked about
pressures, they they've only

1355
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:53,880
sacked a lot of sack on wimps at
once this year, but he's been

1356
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,320
pressured a ton.
So if we can keep that up and

1357
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:59,280
keep the consistent pressure
that we've seen so far, even

1358
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,440
though we didn't necessarily get
home a lot against Purdue, if we

1359
01:14:01,440 --> 01:14:03,280
can keep that pressure
consistent, that's going to make

1360
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:04,680
it a little more difficult for
him.

1361
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:08,400
There's there's there's one
concern I have about that Brian

1362
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,920
and that is going to be we're
going to have to stake in, we're

1363
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:15,680
going to have to stay in our
lanes because obviously Tally,

1364
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,760
you mentioned a kid get that
many offers and that athletic,

1365
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:23,000
he's going to break contained
and he's going to go upfield.

1366
01:14:23,890 --> 01:14:27,090
And he's athletic enough to get
not, not Hudson Card got, you

1367
01:14:27,090 --> 01:14:31,650
know, 5-6 yards a couple times.
It's going to be 2530.

1368
01:14:33,890 --> 01:14:37,530
Brian, let me ask both.
Y'all this because Kelly, you

1369
01:14:37,530 --> 01:14:38,890
read up on him, looked at a
little tape.

1370
01:14:38,890 --> 01:14:42,690
Brian, you obviously looked at a
little more tape too, or we're

1371
01:14:42,690 --> 01:14:44,410
going to have to spy him with
somebody.

1372
01:14:45,570 --> 01:14:48,650
Would you?
I think you have to on obvious

1373
01:14:48,650 --> 01:14:50,490
passing downs.
I don't think you spy him every

1374
01:14:50,490 --> 01:14:53,010
play, but you spy him on that
obvious passing downs.

1375
01:14:53,440 --> 01:14:55,800
Yeah, because he's a threat to
pick up the pick up the first

1376
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:58,440
down with his legs.
I'm more scared of his legs than

1377
01:14:58,440 --> 01:14:59,880
his arm.
Now he can beat you with his

1378
01:14:59,880 --> 01:15:04,000
arm, but I'm more scared in
those long yardage situations

1379
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:08,080
of, you know, a guy drops back,
he hits a good, a good pass

1380
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,160
that's open.
You can live with that.

1381
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:13,800
What you hate is having really
good coverage and then the

1382
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,240
quarterback break containing,
get a first down on the 3rd and

1383
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,320
long because that that pisses
you off, that frustrates you.

1384
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:25,200
I know they're both first downs,
but it just it it doesn't seem

1385
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,000
to hurt as bad.
It from a mentality standpoint

1386
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,240
of a defense when you do all the
things right and they still get

1387
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,800
a first down versus when you
kind of let let something slip

1388
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,160
by and all of a sudden the guy
takes off and he gets the first

1389
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:38,720
down with his legs.
Right.

1390
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:40,960
Absolutely.
All right, well, that's the

1391
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,240
offense and some names to
knowing things to look for.

1392
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:46,840
Let's flip over to the defense
and Brian, what we got scheme

1393
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,720
wise going on here.
This one's kind of familiar too.

1394
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,320
We got a 425 with the true
nickel package.

1395
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,640
Well, she auto's done that for
years, so that doesn't shock me.

1396
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:02,440
That doesn't shock you at all.
I mean, they're they're not

1397
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:07,880
overly impressive, but they are
extremely sound, like nothing

1398
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,520
about them necessarily jumps off
the tape.

1399
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:14,160
But they don't fuck up a lot.
You're not going to catch them

1400
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:17,160
out of position very often.
You're not going to see them

1401
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,250
blow a ton of coverage.
You're not going to get those

1402
01:16:20,250 --> 01:16:22,730
big chunk plays because of
something they did wrong.

1403
01:16:22,730 --> 01:16:26,650
You got to do something right.
So that's going to be the big

1404
01:16:26,690 --> 01:16:29,010
thing.
But to that point, they haven't

1405
01:16:29,010 --> 01:16:30,450
really been tested much this
year.

1406
01:16:30,450 --> 01:16:32,170
I mean, they played
Northwestern, that's in a

1407
01:16:32,170 --> 01:16:35,770
fucking crisis mode, and then
they played Temple that barely

1408
01:16:35,770 --> 01:16:40,090
got past Akron.
So I'm not really from from a

1409
01:16:40,170 --> 01:16:42,610
from a test standpoint, they
haven't really been pushed yet.

1410
01:16:43,330 --> 01:16:46,210
Hopefully we could at least do
that in the passing game, give

1411
01:16:46,210 --> 01:16:49,480
them a little bit of fit there
and they do have, like I said,

1412
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:50,800
they do have a true nickel
package.

1413
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:54,760
It's actually A33 stack with a
tight look of their DN's there.

1414
01:16:55,640 --> 01:17:00,160
So very similar to what we've
seen from Purdue and from ODU

1415
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,440
the last two weeks when they go
into that nickel package.

1416
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:07,400
And some of the players that
will talk about, I guess I'll

1417
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:11,120
talk about the first player that
should be very familiar to a lot

1418
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:14,560
of Virginia Tech fans, Tyrene
Powell.

1419
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,640
He was actually committed to
Virginia Tech.

1420
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,920
And flipped, I think on early
signing day.

1421
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,520
He is a New Jersey kid.
He only had three offers from

1422
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,520
what they're reporting.
It was Virginia Tech, it was

1423
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:38,200
Rutgers and it was Temple.
He was about listed at a high

1424
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:42,880
school there in New Jersey, but
they've got him listed now at

1425
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:48,110
65245 so.
That's a big guy, you know what

1426
01:17:48,110 --> 01:17:50,590
I'm saying?
Looking at his production, I

1427
01:17:50,590 --> 01:17:54,310
think he's averaging around 8
tackles a game.

1428
01:17:54,750 --> 01:17:58,150
So not crazy, crazy numbers, but
he is.

1429
01:17:58,550 --> 01:18:02,590
He is around the, he is around
the football and like you said,

1430
01:18:02,590 --> 01:18:05,030
he's steady.
Last year he had about 70

1431
01:18:05,030 --> 01:18:07,670
tackles.
I think he had about 3 sacks.

1432
01:18:07,670 --> 01:18:09,870
I got to go back and check that
for sure, but I know he had

1433
01:18:09,870 --> 01:18:13,910
about 70 tackles last year.
So he he flies around the field.

1434
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:17,280
That we'll have to account for
on their defense.

1435
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,080
Playing linebacker, Brian, what
you got away?

1436
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:24,200
Yeah, I mean, he plays that will
or backer spot in that 4/2.

1437
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,080
He's really great in pursuit
that that's really probably his

1438
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:30,800
bread and butter.
Sometimes he does lose coverage

1439
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:33,720
responsibility, contain
responsibility because of that

1440
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,960
overzealousness to kind of get
in that pursuit angle.

1441
01:18:39,410 --> 01:18:42,290
Really good gap discipline in in
the run game.

1442
01:18:42,290 --> 01:18:45,570
So if it's not a contained
position, he does a good job of

1443
01:18:45,570 --> 01:18:48,130
getting his fits on the interior
there, making plays with a lot

1444
01:18:48,130 --> 01:18:51,090
of scrimmage.
And they will occasionally bring

1445
01:18:51,090 --> 01:18:54,290
him on pressure, sometimes up
the middle, sometimes off the

1446
01:18:54,290 --> 01:18:55,890
edge.
So he he, he is a pretty

1447
01:18:55,890 --> 01:18:59,690
proficient pass rusher as well
from that blitzing linebacker

1448
01:18:59,690 --> 01:19:02,370
position.
So kind of hurts you in a lot of

1449
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:05,610
different ways.
But again, kind of like the

1450
01:19:05,610 --> 01:19:09,830
defense.
Not, not elite, but pretty sound

1451
01:19:09,870 --> 01:19:14,150
and a good ballplayer.
Overall, yeah, definitely.

1452
01:19:14,910 --> 01:19:16,990
Awesome.
Well, let's let's go from the

1453
01:19:17,270 --> 01:19:19,670
linebacker room, let's go up to
the defensive line because

1454
01:19:19,670 --> 01:19:23,430
someone that just looking around
looking at his background kind

1455
01:19:23,430 --> 01:19:31,430
of stood out to me was Renee
Conga, Renee Conga, A2020,

1456
01:19:31,430 --> 01:19:35,680
commit from Canada.
He was considered the best high

1457
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:42,080
school prospect in Canada when
he came out six foot four, about

1458
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:46,160
��290.00.
And this season you know, not

1459
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,520
looking everything, but
sometimes when you don't see a

1460
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,080
lot of stats but you see
something like he's already got

1461
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,840
a forced fumble, he's got a
sack, another tackle for loss, a

1462
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:59,280
total of five tackles.
I want to know I wanted Brian to

1463
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:02,560
look at him, to figure out, hey,
where's he playing and what's he

1464
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:06,250
doing because.
Just looking at reading about

1465
01:20:06,250 --> 01:20:08,610
him, it's like he seems like a
pretty athletic guy because he

1466
01:20:08,610 --> 01:20:11,690
came out at only 240 and now
he's already up to 290.

1467
01:20:12,610 --> 01:20:13,650
What?
What is he doing?

1468
01:20:13,650 --> 01:20:17,730
Brian Yeah, he's actually their
primary interior defensive

1469
01:20:17,730 --> 01:20:20,770
tackle.
He plays that one, that two eye

1470
01:20:20,770 --> 01:20:24,090
technique in their base package.
He'll slide to the zero and

1471
01:20:24,090 --> 01:20:27,770
nickel.
Yeah, deceptively quick with the

1472
01:20:27,770 --> 01:20:30,090
motor, you know he said he's up
to 290 now.

1473
01:20:30,090 --> 01:20:32,170
He's probably, he's probably
plays about.

1474
01:20:33,010 --> 01:20:36,690
You know, ��10 lighter as far as
his speed and quickness and he

1475
01:20:36,690 --> 01:20:38,610
occupies blockers, pretty well
considered.

1476
01:20:38,610 --> 01:20:42,090
He's undersized for probably an
interior lineman, probably just

1477
01:20:42,090 --> 01:20:43,810
a little bit under what you
would expect there.

1478
01:20:46,530 --> 01:20:50,530
But it, like I said, occupies
blockers well and hopefully we

1479
01:20:50,530 --> 01:20:51,770
can handle him in there in the
middle.

1480
01:20:51,770 --> 01:20:54,890
But they do rotate their
interior lineman a lot, so we'll

1481
01:20:54,890 --> 01:20:59,530
see if they end up, you know how
much, how many snaps he gets in

1482
01:20:59,530 --> 01:21:02,140
this game.
Well, I find it interesting to

1483
01:21:02,140 --> 01:21:05,340
see it here, a guy playing and
and I know it's their nickel

1484
01:21:05,340 --> 01:21:07,820
set, so they're probably doing
it for schematic reasons.

1485
01:21:08,100 --> 01:21:13,020
But to play a guy that's 64290
ish on a 0, to play him over top

1486
01:21:13,020 --> 01:21:15,420
of the center, I mean, what are
they trying to do with that?

1487
01:21:16,260 --> 01:21:18,220
Yeah, I mean it's, you know,
they're not going to the nickel

1488
01:21:18,220 --> 01:21:19,700
unless they're trying to get
after the passer.

1489
01:21:20,180 --> 01:21:22,940
So, I mean, he's he's a guy,
like I said, with it, with his

1490
01:21:22,940 --> 01:21:26,460
motor and his skill set, he can
get by interior lineman pretty

1491
01:21:26,460 --> 01:21:29,880
quick and make that play so.
That's really what it's all

1492
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,560
about, getting getting kind of
those mismatches on the interior

1493
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:34,840
for pass rush purposes.
Nice.

1494
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:38,040
I will look at.
We'll look at one additional guy

1495
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,680
on the defensive side of the
ball and that is the defensive

1496
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:44,560
back.
Flip Dixon.

1497
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,440
Flip Dixon, also known as
Michael Dixon.

1498
01:21:47,440 --> 01:21:51,840
If you're trying to look him up,
he was an original commit to

1499
01:21:52,210 --> 01:21:54,890
Minnesota.
He was ranked in 87 as he came

1500
01:21:54,890 --> 01:21:57,970
out of high school, ranked as an
87 when he hit the portal

1501
01:21:57,970 --> 01:22:02,570
transferring from Minnesota over
to Rutgers.

1502
01:22:03,090 --> 01:22:08,090
And so far in his career, 59
tackles, 2 1/2 tackles were

1503
01:22:08,090 --> 01:22:10,170
lost.
Only one pick 5 past

1504
01:22:10,170 --> 01:22:16,610
deflections, so obviously, you
know, Not getting a ton of PT

1505
01:22:17,060 --> 01:22:19,700
his first three seasons.
Finally seeing the field more

1506
01:22:19,700 --> 01:22:22,060
this year than he had any
previous year.

1507
01:22:23,620 --> 01:22:26,140
What are we taking a look at
when we take a look at this guy?

1508
01:22:26,140 --> 01:22:29,900
You know, 6 to 210 pound, Where
does he play exactly?

1509
01:22:29,900 --> 01:22:32,700
Brian In the defensive secondary
#10.

1510
01:22:33,100 --> 01:22:35,540
Yeah, let's start with his name.
He sounds like somebody's uncle,

1511
01:22:35,540 --> 01:22:37,420
right?
Flip, flip, Dicks.

1512
01:22:39,260 --> 01:22:42,100
But no he he plays boundary
safety.

1513
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,920
Not used a ton in man coverage,
mostly kind of read and react.

1514
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:50,240
Zone type of safety there.
Really great and run support.

1515
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:54,440
He comes up, makes plays at or
near the line of scrimmage very

1516
01:22:54,440 --> 01:22:57,880
well.
But where I've seen some

1517
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:00,400
weakness in this game is that he
can get turned around if there's

1518
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:04,520
a double move or something where
or you can get him kind of lean

1519
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,240
in one way and then change
direction.

1520
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:08,600
Doesn't change direction as well
as you'd probably like him to,

1521
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:14,620
but he's really good at.
Diagnosing and kind of coming up

1522
01:23:14,620 --> 01:23:16,580
and make your place.
So if he's moving forward, he's

1523
01:23:16,580 --> 01:23:18,260
a danger.
If you get him back peddling a

1524
01:23:18,260 --> 01:23:22,060
little bit, you can probably get
a little bit of a of run against

1525
01:23:22,060 --> 01:23:25,420
him.
Good deal, good deal.

1526
01:23:25,420 --> 01:23:27,340
So again, there's what you're
looking at.

1527
01:23:27,340 --> 01:23:30,860
You're kind of looking at a very
similar tight defense that you

1528
01:23:30,860 --> 01:23:34,020
see with the Hokies every week
and there are some players

1529
01:23:34,020 --> 01:23:38,060
there, obviously that you should
be on the lookout for while

1530
01:23:38,060 --> 01:23:41,340
watching the game.
Well, next thing we're going to

1531
01:23:41,340 --> 01:23:43,140
do, boys, we got four of them
here.

1532
01:23:43,260 --> 01:23:45,540
We're going somebody's taking
one, somebody's taking two.

1533
01:23:45,860 --> 01:23:48,700
We got the Hokies keys to
victory tally.

1534
01:23:49,060 --> 01:23:51,180
You see them all up there.
We talked about them.

1535
01:23:51,180 --> 01:23:53,820
Which one are you strongest
towards on this?

1536
01:23:53,820 --> 01:23:56,820
The the the number one that we
have on there, I think it's

1537
01:23:56,820 --> 01:23:58,900
number one in our hearts and
mind right now.

1538
01:23:59,340 --> 01:24:02,060
Don't let their quarterback kill
us with his legs.

1539
01:24:02,620 --> 01:24:05,940
As a Hokie fan, how many games
have we watched that?

1540
01:24:05,940 --> 01:24:09,020
Usually it's a backup
quarterback that comes in and

1541
01:24:09,060 --> 01:24:12,040
freaking.
Kills us with his legs.

1542
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:16,200
We got to be disciplined.
We got to stay in our gaps.

1543
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,480
We got to get home when we can
get a sack we got.

1544
01:24:19,480 --> 01:24:23,240
We cannot let their quarterback
kill us with his legs this week.

1545
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:25,240
They're going to be amped.
They're at home.

1546
01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:30,040
They got a chance to go three
and oh, we got to go in that.

1547
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:31,720
We got to go in there and we got
to want it.

1548
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:38,480
I mean, sometimes going on the
road is sometimes going on the

1549
01:24:38,480 --> 01:24:42,400
road is good for your team.
Because it's just you and the

1550
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,800
boys and you just pull together
and you don't worry about your

1551
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,680
girlfriend coming over before
the game.

1552
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:49,360
You don't worry about all the
extra stuff.

1553
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:53,640
You're all just there with your
gamemates and it's just y'all

1554
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:55,480
against the world.
It's just y'all against that,

1555
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:59,360
y'all against the fans.
You know they're fans.

1556
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:02,200
So I know that the Hokies are
going to take some fans up there

1557
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:05,120
and we're going to show out like
we always do, but we could not

1558
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:06,880
let that quarterback kill us
with his legs.

1559
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:10,000
Yeah, Billy Pad and his crew are
going to be out there in full

1560
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:11,960
force.
So it'll be it'll be a large

1561
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:14,000
contingency at least somewhere
in that stadium.

1562
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:17,280
Come on, man, represent up
there, Billy, Billy and them

1563
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,560
Daleks going up.
I'm sure Kenny going up too.

1564
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,520
Yeah, I'm.
I'm going to go flip it and say

1565
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,600
I'm with you as well.
But it's the quarterback on our

1566
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:27,880
side.
Quarterback has become part of

1567
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,160
the run game this week.
It's going to help the offensive

1568
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,560
line out.
It's going to make that defense,

1569
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:36,440
make decisions that in the first
two weeks, because of who

1570
01:25:36,440 --> 01:25:39,520
they're playing, they've been
able to be sound right, Brian,

1571
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:41,280
they have no one that can hurt
them.

1572
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,080
They have no sort of things like
that that can hurt them.

1573
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:49,320
So I think it's that Billy we
know you're going to represent

1574
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:50,880
up there, man.
We know Billy's going to be

1575
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:54,200
leading the leading the cheers,
screaming his lungs out.

1576
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,840
But we get that quarterback
running game going.

1577
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,120
You're going to see this offense
look different.

1578
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:04,240
You're going to see the line
play better and love it.

1579
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:07,140
We got to do it.
Got to do it, Brian.

1580
01:26:07,180 --> 01:26:08,580
We'll let you wrap up with two,
man.

1581
01:26:09,020 --> 01:26:13,700
What's the first one?
Yeah, I'm going to say this.

1582
01:26:13,700 --> 01:26:16,340
We got we we we didn't tackle
great last week.

1583
01:26:16,340 --> 01:26:19,260
So this is a team that runs
they, they run the ball pretty

1584
01:26:19,260 --> 01:26:21,420
well.
They run a lot of screens.

1585
01:26:21,940 --> 01:26:24,060
You got to stay disciplined, You
got to tackle well.

1586
01:26:24,220 --> 01:26:26,900
You don't do those two things.
It's going to be a long day, all

1587
01:26:28,460 --> 01:26:30,580
right.
And I'm going to wrap this up

1588
01:26:30,580 --> 01:26:32,460
with kind of something a little
bit similar.

1589
01:26:32,460 --> 01:26:34,620
We're going to just flip it
back, like Curtis said, to the

1590
01:26:34,620 --> 01:26:37,440
other side of the ball.
We got to use scheme.

1591
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:42,080
We got to use quick passes to
supplement the run game,

1592
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:46,680
essentially turning pass plays
into run plays.

1593
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,800
Get the ball into the hands of
the receivers, into the hands of

1594
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:51,960
the running back quickly in the
passing game.

1595
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,000
Let them make some plays in
space.

1596
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:57,720
Spread this defense out a little
bit, so there will be at least a

1597
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,520
little bit of room to maneuver
in the middle of that defense.

1598
01:27:01,250 --> 01:27:03,970
And you know, if you do it in a
quick way, you're not

1599
01:27:03,970 --> 01:27:05,850
endangering your quarterback
because you're not dropping them

1600
01:27:05,850 --> 01:27:10,090
back five or seven yards in the
pocket and having to sling it

1601
01:27:10,490 --> 01:27:12,290
every time.
If we can get into better those

1602
01:27:12,290 --> 01:27:15,290
third and manageable situations,
you don't get your quarterback

1603
01:27:15,290 --> 01:27:17,450
killed either, Especially when
you're probably, as Curtis

1604
01:27:17,450 --> 01:27:20,410
alluded to, going to be using
your quarterback in the run game

1605
01:27:20,410 --> 01:27:23,890
a little bit more this week.
So freaking loosely.

1606
01:27:24,050 --> 01:27:27,010
All right, well boys, we get to
where it is every week.

1607
01:27:27,010 --> 01:27:31,740
It is prediction time before we
say our prediction, Shelton is

1608
01:27:31,740 --> 01:27:34,260
not here with us this week.
But Shelton has not only made

1609
01:27:34,260 --> 01:27:38,020
the prediction for this game, he
made all the other predictions

1610
01:27:38,020 --> 01:27:39,500
too.
When we get the big screeners in

1611
01:27:39,500 --> 01:27:43,140
a few minutes and I wish we we
got we got to start doing when

1612
01:27:43,140 --> 01:27:46,220
he can't come home show you got
to make a three, a 2 minute

1613
01:27:46,220 --> 01:27:48,180
video and we're going to post it
on here.

1614
01:27:48,700 --> 01:27:50,460
We'll write that down as a
future thing.

1615
01:27:50,460 --> 01:27:55,740
But Shelton, I think Shelton.
Shelton was up in the box last

1616
01:27:55,740 --> 01:27:58,450
week watching the Purdue game.
Sheldon's heard.

1617
01:27:58,450 --> 01:28:00,330
And Shelton's taking the bad
guys.

1618
01:28:00,330 --> 01:28:03,010
He's taking the Scarlet Knights
2414.

1619
01:28:03,890 --> 01:28:06,290
Brian, who you got?
Yeah, I think Sheldon watched

1620
01:28:06,290 --> 01:28:10,290
that offensive line really close
this last few days and I think

1621
01:28:10,290 --> 01:28:11,530
that's what he's feeling right
now.

1622
01:28:11,530 --> 01:28:16,130
And I I don't blame him, but I
think drones comes in and gives

1623
01:28:16,130 --> 01:28:20,370
the offense a little bit of pop.
I think the defense steps up.

1624
01:28:20,370 --> 01:28:23,250
I think the defense understands
the urgency of the situation

1625
01:28:23,250 --> 01:28:26,820
that we're facing right now.
And I think the the good guys go

1626
01:28:26,820 --> 01:28:30,020
up to Piscataway and come away
with 1/24/21.

1627
01:28:30,500 --> 01:28:34,660
Alrighty, I am not far off.
Here's why I'm not far off.

1628
01:28:35,500 --> 01:28:40,740
Because last week on offense we
played AD minus almost failed.

1629
01:28:42,300 --> 01:28:46,900
We still within one touchdown.
Last week we played A/C, maybe C

1630
01:28:46,900 --> 01:28:48,260
minus.
Defensive game.

1631
01:28:48,260 --> 01:28:50,820
We didn't get home.
We missed some tackles.

1632
01:28:51,060 --> 01:28:52,540
We let screwed up.
Things happen.

1633
01:28:52,970 --> 01:28:55,330
We played a pretty crappy game
overall.

1634
01:28:55,570 --> 01:29:00,850
We lost by one score.
We lost by one score.

1635
01:29:01,250 --> 01:29:06,250
First of all, before we do this,
PB says no, they're not getting

1636
01:29:06,250 --> 01:29:08,330
24.
No, Pete, they're not getting

1637
01:29:08,330 --> 01:29:12,490
24.
Hokies win 2017 power on drones,

1638
01:29:12,530 --> 01:29:16,530
runs for one touchdown at least.
Sally, we're going to let you

1639
01:29:16,530 --> 01:29:17,850
close this one out, man.
Where?

1640
01:29:17,850 --> 01:29:19,930
Are we?
I know y'all going to, I know

1641
01:29:19,930 --> 01:29:21,730
y'all going to feel good about
this, but.

1642
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:25,920
I'm taking Rutgers, man.
I'm going to say 2821 Rutgers.

1643
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:30,160
I got them taking it now.
I'm going to tell you why I did

1644
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:33,040
that.
I am going under the assumption

1645
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:37,680
that Cunningham knows what he's
talking about because he's the

1646
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:40,320
one that put out the that put
out the depth chart.

1647
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:43,560
And I got Grant Wells as my Q B1
on that depth chart.

1648
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:47,720
So I'm going as Grant, as the Q,
B1 and I'm going we lose by one

1649
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:50,520
score because that's what we've
been doing in the past now.

1650
01:29:51,480 --> 01:29:55,040
If this game starts and I see
drones in the backfield, I might

1651
01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:57,640
feel a little different, but I
got to go with what I see right

1652
01:29:57,640 --> 01:29:59,520
now.
I got to go with my man,

1653
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:03,160
Cunningham said.
Because that's my guy, so I'm

1654
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:09,400
gonna play Rutgers 2821, me and
Brian going, Hunch's drone star

1655
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:12,360
and Tally says.
Until he sees one taking the

1656
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:14,320
first nap and he ain't going
over.

1657
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:16,960
Yeah, and let's go ahead and
let's go ahead and throw the

1658
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,280
graphic up here so we can take a
look at what we got here.

1659
01:30:19,670 --> 01:30:23,790
Big screeners, other games going
on on Saturday.

1660
01:30:24,390 --> 01:30:26,870
I can't wait.
By the way, Tally, I'm heading

1661
01:30:26,870 --> 01:30:29,030
over to Sigla's house Saturday
afternoon.

1662
01:30:29,030 --> 01:30:32,750
Me, the wife, the kids, he going
grill us some burgers, he going,

1663
01:30:33,670 --> 01:30:36,110
you know, we going, we going to
watch the game, we going to have

1664
01:30:36,110 --> 01:30:40,270
a lot of good fun.
And you know what?

1665
01:30:40,350 --> 01:30:43,960
They go right there.
That's up first, but the first

1666
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:47,160
game we're going to take a look
at, Brian is Brian's big

1667
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,360
Screener of the Week.
Because after he kicks me out of

1668
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:51,280
his house probably about 7:00,
because that's when the kids

1669
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:55,520
going to crash, he's going to be
turning on NBC, Saturday Night

1670
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,680
Football, Purdue versus
Syracuse.

1671
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,520
Brian, who you taking in this
game?

1672
01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:04,800
Someone we going to play later
or someone you've already seen

1673
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:08,310
on the field?
You know what, I was rolling

1674
01:31:08,310 --> 01:31:11,230
this one back and forth.
I think this is a pretty even

1675
01:31:11,230 --> 01:31:13,110
matchup.
Just like, I think you know the

1676
01:31:13,110 --> 01:31:21,270
matchup last week was I've got
the Boilermakers by that much,

1677
01:31:22,270 --> 01:31:26,550
so give me Perdue, Callie who
you got on this one, Perdue, or

1678
01:31:26,550 --> 01:31:31,430
you got the cues.
I got, I got the Boilermakers,

1679
01:31:31,430 --> 01:31:33,190
man.
I got, I'm kind of with Brian on

1680
01:31:33,190 --> 01:31:35,070
this.
I think the Boilermakers is

1681
01:31:35,070 --> 01:31:38,950
going to pull this one off.
You think the bowler makers

1682
01:31:38,950 --> 01:31:41,790
going to pull it off?
Alrighty, alrighty.

1683
01:31:41,790 --> 01:31:44,230
I get to go next.
I don't think they are.

1684
01:31:45,310 --> 01:31:48,150
I don't.
I honestly don't because they're

1685
01:31:48,150 --> 01:31:49,830
going to have to bring a lot
more.

1686
01:31:50,470 --> 01:31:52,910
Syracuse has been playing some
cream puffs up front.

1687
01:31:52,910 --> 01:31:55,430
They're going, I believe this,
is this at the Dome or is this

1688
01:31:55,430 --> 01:31:59,070
in bust Lafay yet?
Let me look here.

1689
01:32:00,110 --> 01:32:01,990
I just like to know who's
playing who where I.

1690
01:32:02,070 --> 01:32:03,230
Believe.
I was.

1691
01:32:03,430 --> 01:32:05,990
I think it is.
It is that Purdue's the.

1692
01:32:06,430 --> 01:32:11,350
Line Brian Brian caught this.
He gave me 3 instead of 2 1/2 To

1693
01:32:11,350 --> 01:32:17,910
lay or to get but or to lay
Excuse me, but yeah, Purdue's to

1694
01:32:17,910 --> 01:32:22,070
me did not overly impressed me.
Anyone with a capable offense is

1695
01:32:22,070 --> 01:32:24,950
going to probably beat them this
year and I think Syracuse is

1696
01:32:24,950 --> 01:32:27,830
capable enough.
Shelton has taken.

1697
01:32:31,070 --> 01:32:35,590
Drum roll, Syracuse.
Thank you All.

1698
01:32:35,590 --> 01:32:37,950
Righty, Brian.
By the way, do you have our

1699
01:32:37,950 --> 01:32:41,390
records for last week or can?
We get them.

1700
01:32:41,390 --> 01:32:43,350
I thought you grabbed them.
But I can grab them.

1701
01:32:43,350 --> 01:32:45,430
I can grab them.
You grab them while I pull up

1702
01:32:45,430 --> 01:32:49,390
mine because where I went here,
classic rivalry.

1703
01:32:49,390 --> 01:32:53,990
Backyard Brawl, Pitt, West
Virginia games going to be in

1704
01:32:53,990 --> 01:32:58,790
Morgantown.
This is basically a tight one.

1705
01:32:59,070 --> 01:33:04,770
It's basically a coin flip and
I'm going to take Pitt because

1706
01:33:04,770 --> 01:33:07,850
what I've seen of West Virginia
this year, they've not been

1707
01:33:07,850 --> 01:33:10,130
impressive.
Pitt hasn't impressed me either.

1708
01:33:10,410 --> 01:33:14,730
But I I I think the way it is is
I think nor Douzy has his guys,

1709
01:33:14,730 --> 01:33:18,330
Neil Brown.
Every loss everybody gets a

1710
01:33:18,330 --> 01:33:21,570
little less and less involved.
We know that feeling.

1711
01:33:21,570 --> 01:33:23,850
We've been there before.
So give me pit.

1712
01:33:24,330 --> 01:33:31,850
Brian Shelton has Pitt as well.
Alrighty Tally, you going to

1713
01:33:31,850 --> 01:33:33,770
make it three in a row or you
going oppo?

1714
01:33:34,050 --> 01:33:36,210
No, man, I got to go pit on this
one, man.

1715
01:33:36,210 --> 01:33:38,130
I'm going to go pit.
And it was hard for me to say

1716
01:33:38,130 --> 01:33:42,490
that just because I hate them,
but I hate West Virginia as much

1717
01:33:42,490 --> 01:33:45,810
or more.
So I wish they could play a game

1718
01:33:45,810 --> 01:33:50,410
that nobody wins, but I guess
somebody got to win and I'm

1719
01:33:50,410 --> 01:33:53,330
going to take pit.
So yeah.

1720
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,930
I'm right there with you.
I'm taking Pitt as well.

1721
01:33:58,020 --> 01:34:01,700
This line probably be a lot
bigger if it was, if it was at

1722
01:34:01,700 --> 01:34:03,260
Pitt.
I mean, I think West Virginia is

1723
01:34:03,260 --> 01:34:04,980
getting a lot of home loving
here.

1724
01:34:04,980 --> 01:34:08,580
I don't think West Virginia is a
very good football team and I

1725
01:34:08,580 --> 01:34:13,500
think every game they're playing
at this point is whether or not

1726
01:34:13,660 --> 01:34:16,420
Neil Brown gets closer and
closer to getting fired.

1727
01:34:16,420 --> 01:34:22,340
So Narduzzi is obviously firmly
entrenched for the foreseeable

1728
01:34:22,340 --> 01:34:24,420
future at Pitt.
I feel like that's a much more.

1729
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,600
Stable situation and I think
they're going to go and handle

1730
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:30,560
that game regardless of the
raucous environment there in

1731
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:32,480
Morgantown.
Alrighty.

1732
01:34:32,480 --> 01:34:35,080
So pit across the board here
now.

1733
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:37,360
Y'all this is, this is one of
those things you know, you get

1734
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:42,280
college football fame when you
see Florida, Tennessee play.

1735
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:46,600
What do y'all know?
It's they hate each other, they

1736
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:50,640
hate each other.
But third Saturday in September,

1737
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:54,990
we three weeks in the season
tally, you picking this one,

1738
01:34:54,990 --> 01:34:58,270
This is going to be, I think at
the Swamp Saturday night.

1739
01:34:59,150 --> 01:35:04,750
Let me let me confirm that at
the swamps and we going to have

1740
01:35:04,750 --> 01:35:07,230
your big screeners going to be
running three games in a row

1741
01:35:07,230 --> 01:35:09,950
right there in the Siglo.
Oh yeah, right.

1742
01:35:11,070 --> 01:35:13,430
There.
Who you got Tally.

1743
01:35:13,430 --> 01:35:15,830
This is your game.
Yeah, I'm going to take

1744
01:35:15,830 --> 01:35:19,830
Tennessee in that game, man.
I think Tennessee is going to go

1745
01:35:19,830 --> 01:35:21,470
in there and they're going,
they're going to get the win and

1746
01:35:21,470 --> 01:35:25,460
they're going to cover.
All righty Shelton is right

1747
01:35:25,460 --> 01:35:29,580
along with Tally on that as well
and and I'm with you right now,

1748
01:35:29,940 --> 01:35:34,620
just Florida has no juice.
Florida has no juice right now

1749
01:35:34,660 --> 01:35:37,940
and and I don't know and
everybody's talking about what

1750
01:35:37,940 --> 01:35:39,380
Napier's recruiting all these
guys.

1751
01:35:39,380 --> 01:35:41,660
Well, it's Florida.
You I hope you're recruiting

1752
01:35:41,660 --> 01:35:43,420
somewhere in the top ten.
You're Florida.

1753
01:35:44,260 --> 01:35:45,980
If you ain't, you're even in
bigger trouble.

1754
01:35:47,100 --> 01:35:50,500
Yeah, and I mean their their NIL
situation is in shambles right

1755
01:35:50,500 --> 01:35:53,010
now with the.
Everything that's coming out

1756
01:35:53,010 --> 01:35:55,410
about that, I don't know if that
plays to be bearing on this

1757
01:35:55,410 --> 01:35:58,050
game, but it does play bearing
on whether they can kind of

1758
01:35:58,050 --> 01:35:59,690
pull, continue to pull on those
recruits.

1759
01:35:59,690 --> 01:36:02,130
But I'm right there.
I think Tennessee pulls this one

1760
01:36:02,130 --> 01:36:04,210
out.
I think it's it's about a

1761
01:36:04,210 --> 01:36:06,250
touchdown game, maybe a 8-9
point game.

1762
01:36:06,250 --> 01:36:09,130
I don't think it's a blowout,
but I think Tennessee handles

1763
01:36:09,130 --> 01:36:12,050
their business down there.
And my bad, that was Shelton,

1764
01:36:12,130 --> 01:36:14,730
not Tally's.
Because Tally, this is yours.

1765
01:36:15,730 --> 01:36:19,710
Yes, that's mine.
And they're giving, Yeah,

1766
01:36:19,710 --> 01:36:22,470
they're giving Ole Miss a lot of
points in that game.

1767
01:36:23,350 --> 01:36:29,390
I don't think Georgia Tech is
great, but I hate the SEC and

1768
01:36:29,710 --> 01:36:31,670
the ACC.
We've been holding our own

1769
01:36:31,670 --> 01:36:35,630
against that against, Well,
except for UVA, we've been

1770
01:36:35,630 --> 01:36:40,510
holding our own.
So I don't think Georgia Tech

1771
01:36:40,510 --> 01:36:42,670
wins this game, but I think they
do cover.

1772
01:36:43,230 --> 01:36:46,630
I think they may lose by about
1410 to 14.

1773
01:36:48,140 --> 01:36:50,140
But that's what that's where I
met.

1774
01:36:50,340 --> 01:36:54,260
I got Georgia Tech, I I'm not
far behind you because we took

1775
01:36:54,260 --> 01:36:57,500
Tulane last week and we lost
that bet.

1776
01:36:58,100 --> 01:37:00,740
But Tulane was playing without a
starting quarterback and they

1777
01:37:00,740 --> 01:37:04,740
hung on forever and ever,
keeping that A1 score game until

1778
01:37:04,740 --> 01:37:07,340
finally Ole mistook it in the
end.

1779
01:37:07,340 --> 01:37:09,740
So I I think probably a full
stack Georgia Tech.

1780
01:37:10,220 --> 01:37:13,980
Georgia Tech's going to score 20
points in 1/4 and that's why we

1781
01:37:13,980 --> 01:37:17,490
going to cover right there.
They might not do anything

1782
01:37:17,650 --> 01:37:20,290
before or after, but they going
to score like 20 plus points in

1783
01:37:20,290 --> 01:37:23,450
1/4.
There you go.

1784
01:37:24,730 --> 01:37:27,610
Who's Sheldon on on this one?
Sheldon went Georgia Tech as

1785
01:37:27,610 --> 01:37:31,690
well. 19 1/2 is so much delay.
Yeah, you know what though?

1786
01:37:32,490 --> 01:37:35,290
There we go.
I'm going for it.

1787
01:37:35,930 --> 01:37:39,340
So you going for old missile?
I, I just don't think, I think

1788
01:37:39,340 --> 01:37:41,540
at some point the day I was
going to break and there's going

1789
01:37:41,540 --> 01:37:43,380
to be a run, you know, Curtis
said.

1790
01:37:43,380 --> 01:37:44,860
Georgia Tech's going to score 21
quarter.

1791
01:37:44,860 --> 01:37:47,700
I think there's going to be 1/4
where Old Miss kind of puts puts

1792
01:37:47,700 --> 01:37:51,220
a little distance between
themselves and and Georgia Tech.

1793
01:37:51,820 --> 01:37:53,340
Anybody will do it.
I don't do it.

1794
01:37:53,980 --> 01:37:57,380
He'll he'll run that score.
He does not care about that at

1795
01:37:57,380 --> 01:37:59,660
all.
All right, two more big game.

1796
01:37:59,700 --> 01:38:02,180
I wouldn't say big game.
This is kind of the this is

1797
01:38:02,180 --> 01:38:05,140
truly if y'all look this.
If y'all look the next weekend,

1798
01:38:06,100 --> 01:38:07,260
have y'all looked at next
weekend yet?

1799
01:38:07,380 --> 01:38:09,420
I haven't looked yet.
Now I'm gonna give y'all a

1800
01:38:09,420 --> 01:38:11,900
second real quick y'all.
Pull up y'all's computers.

1801
01:38:12,100 --> 01:38:15,740
Go look at next weekend slate.
Go look at next weekend.

1802
01:38:15,740 --> 01:38:17,740
Slate.
Week 4.

1803
01:38:18,140 --> 01:38:20,100
College football.
We're a month in.

1804
01:38:20,540 --> 01:38:23,020
Go look at next weekend's Top 25
slate.

1805
01:38:25,100 --> 01:38:29,260
Yeah, we rolling pretty good.
Oklahoma, Cincy, Colorado,

1806
01:38:29,260 --> 01:38:36,360
Oregon, Mississippi, Ole, Ole
Miss and Alabama, Arkansas, LSU,

1807
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:43,200
Texas, Notre Dame, Ohio State,
Penn State, Iowa, Clemson, FSU.

1808
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:47,800
I mean, I mean.
There's a kid in nothing to

1809
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:52,400
sneeze at in the next week is
this is like an appetizer course

1810
01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:55,200
this week?
Next week's Insane and I think

1811
01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:57,520
my kids are playing both in the
middle of the day playing fall

1812
01:38:57,520 --> 01:38:57,840
ball.
I.

1813
01:38:58,120 --> 01:38:59,840
Mean this?
This week's slate is a little

1814
01:38:59,840 --> 01:39:02,760
bit underwhelming, especially
after last week.

1815
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:05,820
Oh yeah, 100%.
But there there are a couple

1816
01:39:05,820 --> 01:39:06,820
interesting ones.
And.

1817
01:39:06,900 --> 01:39:09,060
There's interesting games.
There's not marquee games, but

1818
01:39:09,060 --> 01:39:11,180
there's interesting games.
There's good matchups.

1819
01:39:11,180 --> 01:39:15,260
Even if you're not getting that
marquee, you know, 2 ranked

1820
01:39:15,260 --> 01:39:19,220
opponents or like you know you
got to look at a W like Curtis.

1821
01:39:19,220 --> 01:39:22,100
You picked West Virginia Pit
because there's history there.

1822
01:39:22,100 --> 01:39:24,860
There's not a whole lot of
there's not a ton of accolades

1823
01:39:24,860 --> 01:39:28,180
currently right now.
But you know there there's

1824
01:39:28,180 --> 01:39:30,420
definitely the history there
that you can fall back on.

1825
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:32,720
Well let's go to one of those
ones.

1826
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:36,240
It's it's it's a it's a inner
conference or an inner

1827
01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:39,200
conference route match up a CC
big 10.

1828
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:44,280
Minnesota North Carolina,
Minnesota is only is is 2 and O.

1829
01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:47,920
They've given up eight points a
game but they're only scoring 19

1830
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:50,200
points a game.
Brian, who you taking on this

1831
01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:52,800
one?
I got the Tar Heels.

1832
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:55,400
I think they got a scare last
week and I think that kind of

1833
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:56,840
woke their asses up a little
bit.

1834
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:00,120
I think they they handled their
business this week against

1835
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:03,600
Minnesota.
Tyler, you up next?

1836
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:05,280
Who you got?
Man, I got to go.

1837
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:08,360
You and see, man, I got to go
you and see when it's hard for

1838
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:11,560
me to, to bet against.
They've got a really good

1839
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:14,240
quarterback, you know, besides
whatever else they have.

1840
01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:18,240
When you have a really good
quarterback, it can do a lot of

1841
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:20,640
stuff for your team.
So I got to go.

1842
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:23,040
You and see, Yeah, it's a home
game.

1843
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:26,040
If it was maybe up in Minnesota
I'd think about taking the

1844
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,960
points.
But in this case I I think I

1845
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:32,000
personally think Carolina's
going to absolutely blow the

1846
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:35,880
doors off Minnesota.
If you told me this was 12 1/2 I

1847
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:39,480
might would take 12 1/2.
So give me Carolina as well.

1848
01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:43,480
Shelton is the outlier here.
He likes Minnesota.

1849
01:40:43,480 --> 01:40:46,440
Shelton likes to row the boat.
Clearly Johnny ain't here to

1850
01:40:46,440 --> 01:40:49,240
defend yourself so we going to
put some we going to put some

1851
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:50,920
things on your name row the
boat.

1852
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:55,240
I-1 last one Big 12, SCC
matchup.

1853
01:40:55,960 --> 01:41:01,710
Mizzou at K State.
I think both teams are two and

1854
01:41:01,710 --> 01:41:05,950
OI am not mistaken they are.
They are both two and O.

1855
01:41:06,190 --> 01:41:08,390
But Missouri played somebody
like week one.

1856
01:41:08,390 --> 01:41:15,230
That was not a good team and I
remember watching this like how

1857
01:41:15,230 --> 01:41:19,150
in the world oh here you go they
played South Dakota.

1858
01:41:19,270 --> 01:41:23,430
That was a game pretty much
until that was not a game.

1859
01:41:23,430 --> 01:41:25,870
But they struggled with Middle
Tennessee State last week

1860
01:41:27,030 --> 01:41:30,920
ruggled.
So, Tally, who you taking in

1861
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:32,840
this one?
Man, I got to go K State.

1862
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:36,000
I told y'all, I hate the SEC.
Billy, you said that's big boy

1863
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,400
ball.
I said that's little balls

1864
01:41:38,440 --> 01:41:44,760
football.
You know, I'm going, I'm going K

1865
01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:46,560
State, man.
I think they're going.

1866
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:50,040
I mean, K State's always got a
pretty tough program.

1867
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:51,600
They play hard, they're playing
at home.

1868
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:56,760
All jokes aside, it's an early
game, so I'm going to take K

1869
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:58,770
State in that game.
All righty.

1870
01:41:58,890 --> 01:42:02,210
Siglo yeah it's it's got to be K
State.

1871
01:42:02,290 --> 01:42:06,450
I mean K State is looks like a
solid solid team this year

1872
01:42:07,290 --> 01:42:11,610
Mizzou 2 and O but I mean that
that that that's a fraudulent

1873
01:42:11,610 --> 01:42:14,970
looking two and O with the the
outcome against Middle Tennessee

1874
01:42:14,970 --> 01:42:19,810
and then you know only getting
by South Dakota 3510.

1875
01:42:19,810 --> 01:42:22,450
So not not overly impressive
there either.

1876
01:42:22,450 --> 01:42:28,010
So give me Kansas State and I'm
with y'all make this a trifecta

1877
01:42:28,010 --> 01:42:31,130
it's only 5 to lay it.
Yeah five ain't enough.

1878
01:42:31,130 --> 01:42:33,730
I think Kansas State wins this
110 to 14.

1879
01:42:34,410 --> 01:42:36,170
It'll probably be another
probably taking.

1880
01:42:36,170 --> 01:42:41,050
It at 9 1/2, so I'll definitely
take it at 5:00 what Sheldon got

1881
01:42:41,050 --> 01:42:43,970
on this one.
We're we're we're sweeping this

1882
01:42:43,970 --> 01:42:47,370
one sweeping.
So we've got 3 picks we are

1883
01:42:47,370 --> 01:42:50,650
absolutely on.
And then one mix, 2 mix picks

1884
01:42:50,650 --> 01:42:53,570
and then one pick everybody.
It's one person against the rest

1885
01:42:53,570 --> 01:42:55,180
of us.
Awesome.

1886
01:42:55,220 --> 01:42:57,660
Those are our big screens.
We'll put them out there to let

1887
01:42:57,660 --> 01:43:01,020
everybody.
Put Billy's last hold on.

1888
01:43:01,020 --> 01:43:04,860
Billy wants this one.
And I yeah, Curtis, you take a

1889
01:43:04,860 --> 01:43:06,900
look at that and tell them what
you think about that first.

1890
01:43:07,860 --> 01:43:11,700
That's just I think I'm going to
take South Carolina and give me

1891
01:43:11,700 --> 01:43:15,900
the 27 1/2 Georgia has not.
Georgia has been so slow out of

1892
01:43:15,900 --> 01:43:20,620
the gate, not once but twice,
you know, against UT Martin and

1893
01:43:20,620 --> 01:43:23,660
then last week.
I think that's too big.

1894
01:43:24,190 --> 01:43:28,430
I I I think George is in that
situation where they're

1895
01:43:28,430 --> 01:43:33,990
retooling.
Bowers is a crazy, crazy tight

1896
01:43:33,990 --> 01:43:37,230
end, but right now they're
trying to figure out what else

1897
01:43:37,230 --> 01:43:41,990
to do and to to say you're going
to lay 4 touchdowns, that's a

1898
01:43:41,990 --> 01:43:44,030
lot.
Just because in some ways I

1899
01:43:44,030 --> 01:43:47,830
think Shane will revert back to
pops and try to slow the game

1900
01:43:47,830 --> 01:43:50,310
down and just make it a ground
fest.

1901
01:43:52,440 --> 01:43:57,840
Yeah, I think I if if it was
like a line about 2020 or 20 I

1902
01:43:57,840 --> 01:44:02,080
I'd I'd go over there.
But yeah, I'm I'm taking the

1903
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:04,920
cocks in this situation, so
touchdowns a ton.

1904
01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:07,600
Yeah, usually, usually feels
like, Y'all said about 20.

1905
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:11,840
I would have, I would have took
Georgia, but would have been 27,

1906
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:15,320
1/2.
I'm still taking Georgia because

1907
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:18,680
train was on that crime about
the staff eating hot dogs.

1908
01:44:19,330 --> 01:44:22,330
When you start getting on TV and
talking and complaining and

1909
01:44:22,330 --> 01:44:25,010
crying, you look you playing
losing football.

1910
01:44:25,090 --> 01:44:28,410
Shane, get your keys ready.
Come on home.

1911
01:44:28,610 --> 01:44:31,210
You might we might need you to
coach something up here at Tech.

1912
01:44:31,610 --> 01:44:34,370
Come get on staff.
Y'all about to got y'all about

1913
01:44:34,370 --> 01:44:38,250
to get beat by about 3535, he
says 35.

1914
01:44:38,250 --> 01:44:42,250
OK, write that down, alright.
Anything breaking in the last

1915
01:44:42,250 --> 01:44:46,530
little while here, boys?
Nope, not that I've seen.

1916
01:44:47,530 --> 01:44:49,690
All righty.

Jason Long who had drinks with

01:46:17,930 --> 01:46:20,850
us and actually he texted me
twice here tonight and saying we

1943
01:46:20,850 --> 01:46:23,690
won't talk about Aaron Rodgers
and then a podcast where we had

1944
01:46:23,690 --> 01:46:26,130
to do that.
But he also made a point that

01:46:26,250 --> 01:46:29,330
he's poured 5 fingers while
listening to us of the the ride
