1
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:50,100
And welcome back to The Foundry
Corner podcast.

2
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,100
I'm Curtis Wilson.
I'm Brian Sigler, buddy.

3
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:57,600
How you doing tonight?
It's a Tuesday night, man.

4
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:00,700
We are coming off a dub.
I'm tired.

5
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:04,300
I haven't shaved this week.
You do numerous things going her

6
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:08,000
from the house here.
But doing good, man.

7
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,200
How about yourself?
Man, it's been a few days of

8
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,300
recovery but I'm getting back in
the swing of things.

9
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:20,500
Now we got a good Tuesday under
the belt.

10
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,200
Monday was a little rough, but
what can we do?

11
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:27,700
What can you do?
Well obviously, before we get

12
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:31,700
into the recap mr.
Siegel, let's go ahead and he'll

13
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:35,700
hear cigs Adventure in the bird
on Saturday.

14
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:40,800
Yeah, I ended up taking my son
with me to the game.

15
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:47,700
We had a good trip in hit a
little little traffic there just

16
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,900
just before, 220 on 81.
So that's load us up a little

17
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:56,900
bit.
Did a little tailgating took my

18
00:01:56,900 --> 00:01:59,700
son up to hook, you Village for
a bit.

19
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:03,700
He got got some photos with the
cheerleaders, which eventually

20
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:08,100
made the the official.
Yo, the, for the postgame vid.

21
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:11,400
So, that was pretty cool, yet.
The, the 10-second Mark

22
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,200
approximately, it was pretty.
Yeah, pretty sickening 10

23
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,500
seconds.
My kids, they're hanging out

24
00:02:16,508 --> 00:02:18,300
with the cheerleaders.
Those smells pretty nice.

25
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:20,200
He got got a picture with the
Hokie bird.

26
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,000
So did a little bit more,
tailgating ate some food, hit

27
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,500
the game, found my seats.
Jump to Sandman.

28
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,800
Yes.
And then we proceeded to beat

29
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,500
BC's ass.
For four quarters.

30
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,200
Yes, we did.
And apparently, the seats you

31
00:02:39,208 --> 00:02:41,500
got were like creme, de La
Creme, right?

32
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,500
Like, middle up, 50-yard line
about.

33
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:45,800
Yeah, we're about middle.
Middle.

34
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,600
Middle middle?
Yeah.

35
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,900
It's awesome.
In East.

36
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,000
Yeah.
And you're in East, which means

37
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,500
you, if you're a middle middle,
you were probably about what two

38
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:56,900
sections from the student
section, which was pretty

39
00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:59,100
electric Saturday night.
Yeah.

40
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,500
Yeah.
Yeah sweet.

41
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,400
Good times.
It was real good time.

42
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,100
It was loud on our side for
sure.

43
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,700
Awesome always is loud.
Only she got to be yeah.

44
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:10,600
Be careful over in West People
shush you for no apparent

45
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,600
reason.
All right, but let's get into

46
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,500
it.
The game itself or mr.

47
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:19,000
Siegel was at on Saturday night,
it's great to be wrong sometime.

48
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000
And see, I love being wrong when
it involves a hokie dub.

49
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:27,900
Yes, Hokies win for dub.
I'm okay.

50
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:34,900
Being wrong, Hokies win. 9:33.
And, you know, let's just start

51
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:38,300
it straight out and let's talk
about that the defense man

52
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:44,300
because this defense is kind of
reminiscing of Defense as we've

53
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:46,500
seen throughout our lifetime.
And I'm going to tell you, it's

54
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:50,200
started quick.
Second play of the game Armani

55
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,000
Chapman.
Absolutely.

56
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Set the tone with that
interception.

57
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:58,800
Yeah.
Out the gate, the Roar and lame

58
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:05,400
was Spectacular.
Like, It felt like the old Lane

59
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,700
like right out the gate, all of
a sudden punch him right in the

60
00:04:09,708 --> 00:04:13,900
mouth, get a turnover get in
scoring Grange.

61
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:16,800
And then we were able to punch
it in quickly.

62
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,600
Take the Lead 7.
Nothing already.

63
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,100
They're kind of out of what they
want to do.

64
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,200
Absolutely.
And that play was great.

65
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,400
I mean, I couldn't understand.
I don't quite understand the

66
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,200
leverage, but he essentially
just wrote his guy out of bounds

67
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,800
and your Kovac.
I don't know why he threw the

68
00:04:32,808 --> 00:04:34,300
ball.
All, I mean I don't know if it

69
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:37,700
was a 1 read and he thought he
was going to come back in or

70
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:41,100
something, but when he threw it
it was almost like as soon as

71
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:45,400
you saw the ball in the air, it
was like, that's a, if Armani

72
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,100
can catch it.
That's a pig because he played

73
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:50,300
it perfectly.
Yeah, I me through its Jordan

74
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:52,500
inside when our money had
already ran his Man Out of

75
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:55,100
Bounds.
So, not a good throw.

76
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:57,500
Well, it was a good decision or
not, it won't get through.

77
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,900
Absolutely.
And that's sort of set the whole

78
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,900
tone for the defense, the whole
night, I I mean five sacks total

79
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:09,300
on defense, the defensive line
as a whole shows out.

80
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:11,400
We saw Cole Nelson, get on the
board.

81
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,600
Sigue McRae.
Get on the board with sacks but

82
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:21,700
obviously, Garbutt, flashed more
than anyone.

83
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,100
He was named the ACC defensive
lineman of the week and then

84
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:27,100
that picture.
I don't know if you've seen it

85
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,800
with him carrying the lunch pail
and if you didn't know y'all, go

86
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,200
find this picture on.
Around the lunch, pail is a dog

87
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,100
collar.
And, I mean, I don't know whose

88
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:43,700
idea this is.
I hope that David Cunningham and

89
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:46,600
he better.
Somebody asked that question and

90
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,100
tomorrow's our Thursday's press
conference because I don't smash

91
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:54,500
because that looks nasty.
Yeah, I mean the combination is

92
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:57,700
pretty sweet and I mean, I liked
it to the defensive line is kind

93
00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:00,700
of getting in on their own kind
of tradition here, right?

94
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:02,800
I think that's going to be fun
to see.

95
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,800
See and see who ends up with
that, that dog collar going

96
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,500
forward.
But Garbutt big game, he was

97
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:12,000
playing, he was all over the
field.

98
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,900
He did he did well against the
run but he did a great job

99
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:18,600
pressuring to Kovac the entire
night.

100
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:23,600
Your Kovac was in hell for
flawless quarters, pure.

101
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,800
Hell for four quarters and what
garbage said after the game is

102
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,200
he played like a dog that hasn't
eaten for three days.

103
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:34,000
And if you mess with a dog that
has a need For three days, they

104
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,400
will bite you and he bit them
all night long.

105
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,600
He only get credited with one
sack it should have been too

106
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:43,800
because of the one you're Kovac
is running away from him and he

107
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,400
falls down the statistician.
Took it away from him which you

108
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,400
wonder like what the hell like
The nearest man to that.

109
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,900
They made it a rush instead of a
sack and but whatever he had

110
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:57,400
three tackles for loss in that
game as well.

111
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:02,800
And you know, a total for
Thailand garment.

112
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,400
So all of his tackles were for
loss hit three tackles but it

113
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,000
was just the constant pressure
all night and already backfield.

114
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Oh yeah, McRae had, you know
tackles for loss Will for

115
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,200
Pinette with a half a sack
Pollard with half a sack.

116
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,700
We saw Kendrick a couple times.
The ball and get up in there

117
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:25,000
quick, the defensive plot line
essentially played possessed.

118
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,700
Yeah and they were going
against, I think they really are

119
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:32,100
Leone smell blood in the water
with that offensive line.

120
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:34,400
Yes.
And once they saw that, they're

121
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,100
like, all right, we're in attack
mode.

122
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:38,700
We're in attack mode.
They can't, they can't block

123
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:40,600
this in the Rush game.
They're not gonna be able to run

124
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,800
the ball pin.
Your ears back go after gjakova,

125
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:49,800
absolutely, and if that wasn't
good enough, Ten total tackles

126
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,800
for loss.
I mean, so not only the

127
00:07:52,808 --> 00:07:55,000
defensive line show up the
linebacking.

128
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,300
Sure short core showed up, as
well with Dax and Jaden, both

129
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:06,400
James Keller and Mc Donald Jr.
Walker everybody, that touched

130
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,400
the field.
Had some sort of impact, play it

131
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:16,900
scene and, you know, Brian, you
went back and watch the game

132
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:19,500
again.
I felt like the tacking was

133
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:22,700
better Saturday night because we
caught more in the backfield

134
00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:25,200
when you watched it not only
live but then come back.

135
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,700
Did that reaffirm that the
tackling improved from Week 1 to

136
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:31,000
week?
Two best tackling came.

137
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,100
I've seen in at least the last
three years.

138
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,500
Pittsburgh 2019.
Correct.

139
00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:41,100
Last time you were in laying.
Yeah, exactly.

140
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:46,000
And you know, maybe I should go
to lay more often, maybe, maybe.

141
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,400
Maybe maybe that's that.
Maybe that's the Message, I

142
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,700
think that's the key but I think
in general, we mentioned last

143
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:55,600
week that it had already taken a
significant step forward

144
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,600
compared to the last two years.
We were we are almost there.

145
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,700
We left a few in the backfield
last week but still last week,

146
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:05,500
they were getting that 223
yards.

147
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,400
I don't think Pat, garlow got
maybe back to the line, maybe

148
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:15,400
the line of scrimmage because
obviously, you know, when you

149
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:21,600
get this isn't incorrect.
Folks, for total yards on 26

150
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,000
carries.
I mean that's pretty insane.

151
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:30,600
Yeah, I mean that says, that's
as good as you could expect

152
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,900
against any opponent, let alone
a power five conference

153
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:36,900
opponent, what the running back
who it went over, 1,000 yards

154
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:39,000
and I know they're lying is
hurting.

155
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:42,900
But you still see guys who get
over 1,000.

156
00:09:42,900 --> 00:09:47,900
Usually can put up something but
I mean absolutely nothing.

157
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:51,200
I I think he may have actually
had it up here.

158
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,600
He had 15 total yards.
Yep.

159
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:02,200
Hear what 12 carries?
10 carries one carries weight 5

160
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:10,700
per carry so yeah, get it was
just flying to the ball in and

161
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:14,000
did the um go off with some of
those open field.

162
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,200
Tackles behind the line of
scrimmage.

163
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:20,200
I mean, you can, you can hear
it, especially the one key on to

164
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,000
be brought down the running
back.

165
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:26,500
You have got a big one there.
I think the one word Cray made

166
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:30,500
the play at the flat.
Got a pretty big one.

167
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:35,200
Absolutely.
So those and the other thing and

168
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,200
he only had one tackle but it
was a big one.

169
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,400
The screen pass where Jaylen
strowman again, it was no

170
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,700
hesitancy, when jaelen strong
and came on that screen.

171
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:48,000
He went straight to the ball.
He didn't try to read it.

172
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,400
It was just like he's got the
ball mount to go tackle him.

173
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,900
Yeah, he made some good plays
and we're seeing like them mix

174
00:10:56,900 --> 00:10:59,700
up things on nickel, right?
You saw.

175
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,500
Yeah, more strobing.
We saw a lot more DJ Harvey this

176
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:05,100
week.
Obviously, saw more Breann

177
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:08,400
Murray with some, some coming in
there, to spell for Dorian

178
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,800
strong.
So it was kind of a mix of

179
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,600
everything, the secondary.
And we got got some additional

180
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,600
reps in there.
And I think that kept everyone,

181
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,900
you know, more fresh for the the
later quarters there.

182
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:21,700
When we kind of need it that
that extra oomph at the end.

183
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,100
We The crazy part is you talk
about strowman and you talk

184
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:28,500
about some of the guys that
played nickel so Harvey played

185
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:31,200
nickel.
Connor played nickel, Lawson

186
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,900
played, nickel Jenkins played
nickel and actually Jr.

187
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:37,600
Walker started the game at
nickel and it's that position

188
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,400
flexibility, right?
We're okay.

189
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,200
We can take you out to here,
will bring tamari down, we trust

190
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,200
Jalen on the back where you can
start mixing things up.

191
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,600
And again, like you just
mentioned guys, get to stay

192
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,300
fresh and that Sam linebacker?
Spot stayed fresh all Night and

193
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:57,600
I mean to the to the tune of the
BC offense, only four yards,

194
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:04,200
rushing only 155 total yards
offense, I mean 3rd and 8 3 of

195
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:10,000
18 on third and fourth Downs.
And I mean right now you know

196
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,100
you look on ncaa.com Hokies are
the best third down conversion

197
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:21,200
percentage defense in the
country and 13%.

198
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:24,900
Yep.
And when you look at it you know

199
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:27,800
almost a third of their total
yardage came on one plate is a

200
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,200
flowers.
Yeah.

201
00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:33,200
And that was the only big catch.
He had all night.

202
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:36,300
Yeah.
And I mean, it's pretty wild to

203
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:38,600
think about that.
But then you start digging into

204
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,400
the data and I know we're a
couple games in.

205
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,200
So it'll be interested in how
this goes out.

206
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,700
But the Hokies are a top 15
passing efficiency defects.

207
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:51,300
I mean, that's, it's slowly
getting there.

208
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:55,100
I think we expected, you know,
Brent prior to improve the

209
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:58,800
defense significantly.
You're talking about a team, a

210
00:12:58,808 --> 00:13:00,900
defense right now.
I don't know where one in one in

211
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:05,600
losing at ODU game sucks.
But you're talking about a top

212
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,500
five, Total Defense.
You're talking about a top 15

213
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:10,300
scoring defense.
Yep.

214
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:15,000
It's you know and and we're
talking about getting people

215
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,200
down behind the line of
scrimmage with the 10:00 on

216
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,200
Saturday night.
You know, we've got 24 total,

217
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,900
We've got a lot and we're
another again, top 20 team

218
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:30,600
tackles for loss and as much as
it was holding Day.

219
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,400
Flowers, big, I thought, if
anything Cactus, once I saw how

220
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,800
quick we were getting, I thought
Cactus would get some catches

221
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:44,000
Yeah, they really didn't have.
I don't know if it's just

222
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,100
because they were playing from
behind.

223
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:47,700
But, you know, we did a good job
of taking him away as well.

224
00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:52,400
He wasn't that kind of reliable
check down, he wasn't the guy

225
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,900
that was kind of helping them
move the sticks.

226
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:55,900
They weren't able to get him the
ball consistently he had one

227
00:13:55,900 --> 00:14:01,000
catch so he not only shut down
flowers, but we kept them from

228
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,900
being able to go to any Outlets
as well.

229
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:08,700
Yeah, absolutely, you have Z
flowers, 79 yards and the big

230
00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:12,600
one was 50.
So he had 2029 on three other

231
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,100
caches.
So they did the job on him and

232
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:19,600
don't get me wrong the movie put
on Dorian was nasty.

233
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,700
But we is it was a good double
move.

234
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:25,800
It was a great double move but
guess what?

235
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,200
You know, that's when you kind
of sit there and say, all those

236
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,200
under throwing balls suck, but
in that situation when you're

237
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,500
putting that pressure on and he
has to come back to it instead

238
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:39,900
of being a 70 yard gain or a
touchdown, he had to come back

239
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:43,200
to it by that time Dorian and
the Seer people's got down

240
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,800
there.
Leveraged in tackling.

241
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:48,100
Yeah, PS.
He pulls probably had an angle

242
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:50,300
on him but he could have if he
had caught that industry.

243
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,700
He probably going to be, you
could have made a move on

244
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:57,900
people's there, so him having to
kind of regroup and collect it.

245
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,500
Both of them were able to kind
of wrangle him down there, which

246
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:05,500
is good.
Absolutely so defense playing

247
00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:09,500
Lights Out, it's going to be fun
to see this group, as again, as

248
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:12,700
guys start to mature more as
guys, get more comfortable in

249
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:15,300
the system, right?
They've already, they've already

250
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:17,800
kind of.
It doesn't take much right.

251
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:20,000
You go out there and you start
hitting the quarterback.

252
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,500
Picking balls all force and
fumbles by and happens quick tip

253
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,900
so and it seems like you know
prize definitely calling the

254
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:35,000
defense which you know for more
if prize sitting there kind of

255
00:15:35,008 --> 00:15:37,900
understand what the game plan is
it's getting Marvin getting the

256
00:15:37,908 --> 00:15:39,700
chance to work with his
linebacker Corps.

257
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,100
And again maybe that's the
reason we saw such a good step

258
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:46,300
is I'm working with the
linebacking corps, I'm focusing

259
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:49,600
on fundamentals, and we're going
to, we're going to see the

260
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,100
Improvement foot.
Yeah, I mean, we've seen, I

261
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:57,100
mean, we thought that the
linebacking corps was definitely

262
00:15:57,100 --> 00:16:01,500
the most veteran in terms of
experience, but we've seen such

263
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:06,800
a ratchet up in play so far,
that, I mean, it's hard not to

264
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,000
be a little impressed and I know
it's early, I never played a

265
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,800
team, that is a G5.
We play the team that has

266
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,600
probably one of the worst
offensive lines in the ACC right

267
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,500
now, at least.
Yeah, yeah.

268
00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:21,700
I don't necessarily think that
the players on that line Are not

269
00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:26,800
talented I think they're just
not ready to play the amount of

270
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,600
snaps they're playing.
Yeah at this point in their

271
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,500
careers.
Exactly that they got too much

272
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:36,400
youth at too many positions.
Yeah.

273
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,700
And the big part was the best
offensive lineman you know that

274
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:44,500
they had did get called you know
basically game day couldn't play

275
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,800
and like you said they the the
defense smelled the blood in the

276
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,200
water but like like you also say
is against the quality of

277
00:16:54,200 --> 00:17:00,700
competition that the defense is
essentially dominated dominated.

278
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:04,900
And that's what you want.
If it's a lower team, you want

279
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:08,400
to dominate them again.
They gave they've given up two

280
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,700
big plays all season, two big
plays.

281
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000
If they keep progressing, they
keep progressing.

282
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:22,599
It's going to be interesting,
especially what goes on roughly

283
00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:26,099
10 days from now?
That's kind of going to be the

284
00:17:26,099 --> 00:17:28,000
two games, right?
They're going to be those

285
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,200
landmark with have that.
This defense is when they face

286
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,300
the West Virginia offense and
when he faced the UNC offense.

287
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:36,700
So let's let's let's just keep
that in mind as we get into next

288
00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:37,700
week.
All right.

289
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:40,800
Let's let's flip it over to the
offensive side of the ball.

290
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,700
Out.
Not not all World offense under

291
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:51,500
300 total yards 284 total and
let's go talk about Grant Wells.

292
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,900
You know, you know, people were
screaming, we should go ahead

293
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:59,000
and throw in brown, throw in
other players, but he comes out

294
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:05,000
and have some self a solid but
in unspectacular game, which in

295
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,700
this case is what we needed,
right?

296
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:08,700
Yeah.
They'll be.

297
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:14,400
There was really no need to take
a ton of risk as we got that big

298
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,900
lead early.
He did a good job taking care of

299
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:20,200
the football which is what he
didn't do well against though to

300
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,900
you you know when we were
looking at the stat line I mean

301
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,200
obviously zero interceptions
stands out with the thing that

302
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,700
stood out more than me was
looking at the bad balls that

303
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:36,700
were thrown last week compared
to you know what they were done

304
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,300
with what we saw this week,
there were some bad thrown balls

305
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:42,100
but there weren't any bad
decisions.

306
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,600
Balls.
You know, we saw those risky

307
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,900
mrs.
Become safe, mrs.

308
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:51,200
And that's what I mean.
That's what you want.

309
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,500
You, I mean, you want some
calculated risk from time to

310
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:56,300
time, but you want to make sure
that when you're taking those

311
00:18:56,300 --> 00:19:00,300
risk, you're taking those risk
where it's safe to play, right?

312
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:05,700
I'm like the Caleb Smith, throw
ya deep shot, downfield.

313
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:10,500
And let's talk about that pass
because that pass is going to be

314
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:14,600
the ACC catch of the week.
Week, where he put that ball

315
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:21,000
Brechin will bullshit.
Grant Wells has a hell of an

316
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,100
accurate.
Default where dropped it, right?

317
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:26,300
He dropped it right in the
bucket, man, right there in the

318
00:19:26,308 --> 00:19:29,700
bad part, is Caleb.
Look like literally Caleb's, the

319
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:33,700
face mask is getting pulled
amazingly Kayla, maybe catch,

320
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:37,700
which was unbelievable.
Yeah, we didn't get a flag on

321
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:39,500
that.
I mean, I'm glad it came down as

322
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:42,600
a catch anyway, regardless book,
exact, how there wasn't a flag

323
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,800
on that is beyond me?
But yeah, I mean, that was a

324
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,100
hell of the throw and if we can
Get a couple more of those at

325
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:52,900
game, then we're cooking.
Then we're on to something.

326
00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:57,800
Yeah, but you know, when we look
at what he's doing, much better

327
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,400
game.
I'll take an efficient game over

328
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,100
a 300 yard game with three or
four turnovers, absolutely.

329
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:08,900
And now, because of how this
game played out, its we're going

330
00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:13,600
to, we got to mention what's his
leash because we look at the, we

331
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,100
look at his completion
percentage, he's right at 61%

332
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:19,700
For what we're probably asking
to do.

333
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,900
You say that's Valley malware?
You should be about where we

334
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:25,000
need it.
Yeah, I mean, you'd like to see

335
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,200
it right around that 65.
So he's hovering in that

336
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,800
ballpark obviously, it's fall
sample size so far.

337
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:35,400
So, you know, the bad game is
disproportionately helping.

338
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,400
Yeah, there's numbers right now.
When I look at what he does in

339
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,100
other aspects though, I think he
needs to be more decisive when

340
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:46,900
our run is called.
Or when called on the Run.

341
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:51,500
Thinking about when he scrambles
being a little more decisive

342
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:55,500
earlier in the drop back when
it's the call run being a little

343
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:59,400
bit more decisive with, you
know, where he's finding the

344
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,300
hole, where he wants to go and
not not thinking as much when it

345
00:21:04,308 --> 00:21:08,500
comes to those, those scrambles
and those design runs, I feel

346
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:10,200
like that's holding him back a
little bit.

347
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,100
He had a couple good runs though
for us.

348
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,300
You know, he had one on that
first drive where, you know,

349
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,800
both guys in it up running to
the flat.

350
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,400
Got out of the pocket.
Got about 45 yards.

351
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:26,800
Yeah.
And a couple other good runs one

352
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,000
for a first down on a third and
long.

353
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,300
So he had he had some good runs.
I'd like to see a little more

354
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:37,000
decisiveness there.
And I mean, I think the big

355
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,100
thing is, is that if he can
continue to show that, he's not

356
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:50,000
going to hurt the offense, keep
rolling with him until Yeah

357
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,700
absolutely.
The other thing you can look at

358
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,300
just the data point is he's
averaging a little over four

359
00:21:57,300 --> 00:22:04,200
yards or run and I think for who
he is that's where we need him

360
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,400
at.
He's got he's averaging about 35

361
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,500
a game.
I would like to see him a lot

362
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:13,900
more decisive like one of the
plays there was a player coming,

363
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:20,000
he's going to the sideline.
And this is a third-down play my

364
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,700
buddy, few kids me up and said,
why didn't he just turn into

365
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:26,500
that versus going out?
And I couldn't explain because

366
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:29,700
he was close enough if he turned
it in and then about two series

367
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:33,500
later is when he ran that draw
and goes into like to BC

368
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:35,800
Defender.
He literally, I think he knock

369
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,800
somebody out of the game with it
but you are You know.

370
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:46,700
It was.
What am I looking for here?

371
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:49,700
It was like trying to prove a
point to when he went out on the

372
00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:53,100
sideline last time that he
essentially he was trying to

373
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,200
back himself up and say I'm not
afraid to make contact with you.

374
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,400
Yeah I mean I like that that
aspect.

375
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,900
I like the we're being more
assertive.

376
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,700
So you know we'll see if how we
proceed with the quarterback

377
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:15,400
situation especially with you
know what we have coming up this

378
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,400
week we're going to talk about a
little bit.

379
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:19,600
Absolutely.
It's gonna be really interesting

380
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,400
to see how we handle Wofford
game.

381
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,600
Let's talk about a little bit
more on the offensive side of

382
00:23:23,608 --> 00:23:28,400
the ball to pass catching Prime.
If I told you we won by 17

383
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,600
points but Gallo had one catch
it, and it did not come until in

384
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,500
the second half.
Would you believe me?

385
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,900
Last Tuesday, not not at all.
I would, I would not have

386
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:46,600
believed you, especially after
what we saw with ODU and how

387
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,200
heavily targeted he was in that
game.

388
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,800
But we had some other guys step
up, right?

389
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,400
We had Caleb in particular was
one big catch down.

390
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,400
The field, had the touchdown
Khan.

391
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:04,400
Plumber Academy had a bunch of
good plays Gosnell, had a couple

392
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:09,000
good stick moving routes.
So you know, we saw some signs

393
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,600
of life from the wide receiver
room, a little bit more this

394
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,400
week, but we also have, you
know, a couple guys, take a

395
00:24:17,408 --> 00:24:26,100
little step back, right, Lofton,
two catches for -1 and what I

396
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:31,200
hated, oh, God, I hated it Shay.
Shades of that pot pass into the

397
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:36,400
boundary was just the to me.
I hate those places because I

398
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,900
think it was like woman second
and five and it was just like no

399
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,600
not this is, you know second and
one.

400
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,000
Yeah sure.
Second and five, it put us now

401
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,600
behind the change third and
seven.

402
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,100
I just hate going any kind of
sweep into the boundary.

403
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:59,400
I just I get that but if you
looked at the play, if King gets

404
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,900
Block.
He probably at least gets 223

405
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:05,500
yards if not the first down,
okay?

406
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,200
Okay.
You know, you kind of got to

407
00:25:07,208 --> 00:25:10,100
take the bells good sometimes
you got to execute and that's

408
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:13,600
what if you execute you at least
get a positive play, okay?

409
00:25:13,900 --> 00:25:16,800
Whether whether that's still a
good play in, your mind is kind

410
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,000
of up to you.
But you know, there are often

411
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000
times where a Jet Sweep was a
good play but you fucking hated

412
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,900
to see it.
Well, you hated to see it when

413
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:29,400
it was like at the most to me,
it's always.

414
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:32,900
He's down in distance for those
plates because if they aren't

415
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:35,300
blocked correctly, you said it
before it those plays aren't

416
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:38,000
block directly, you can lose a
lot of yours.

417
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,200
You can put yourself in a good
position to a bad position again

418
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,300
second and one you lose.
Three hits third and four.

419
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:46,800
We can live another day so it's
really interesting, but you

420
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,200
mentioned it earlier.
Caleb obviously is the best

421
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,100
receiver on the team and him
going down again.

422
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:56,600
So, do you definitely heard the
game planned, but seen blumrich

423
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,200
and Gosnell.
Bloomberg had five catches For

424
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:05,700
46 yards, hit a couple Wildcat
things actually, I think he

425
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:09,000
because of one of them was blown
up, completely accidental with -

426
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,100
yards there, but it shows you
need to be on the field

427
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:17,200
personnel with the stick movers.
But now it's like, okay, we saw

428
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,800
gallo and Drake via successful
combo.

429
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,000
Game one actually a trio of
Gallo, Drake, Dwayne right along

430
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,000
with Caleb.
The second game we see blumrich

431
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:35,200
and we see Gosnell kind of Step
In so it's kind of feeling like

432
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,000
that moves.
Getting a little bit better.

433
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,100
Overall.
Yeah bro.

434
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:40,900
We do your we do.
We're going to need Caleb to be

435
00:26:40,900 --> 00:26:43,200
a consistent contributes,
captain Kayla.

436
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,200
You gotta get that you can get
to the point where we can mix

437
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,800
and match behind him.
That's only the better for us

438
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,100
because it means they can't just
key on Gallo.

439
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:55,600
They can't just keiondre.
They can't just key on Lofton or

440
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,000
blow over the whole field.
Yeah.

441
00:26:57,100 --> 00:26:59,800
Cover the whole field.
You get four or five guys that

442
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,000
can do.
Thing.

443
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,900
Then that at least gives you an
opportunity to really use the

444
00:27:04,900 --> 00:27:07,500
whole field of your advantage
because they're not just going

445
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:09,600
to be able to key on, you know,
one or two.

446
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:15,300
Guys, let me ask this prod.
You mentioned to me that we had

447
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:17,700
our most success with our
intermediate stuff, that roughly

448
00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:20,200
five to 15 range.
Why was that?

449
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,200
What were they doing?
That sort of made that

450
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,000
intermediate range where Grant,
you know, he was 64 percent.

451
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,800
He was essentially I think the
data was 14:16 of 25y.

452
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,000
What were they doing that?
Forced us to play that

453
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,200
intermediate route versus
running screens and obviously we

454
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,800
took the one shot, but I think
that was more of where the game

455
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,300
was.
Its kind of kind of three fold

456
00:27:45,300 --> 00:27:48,400
here.
So number one we had a step up

457
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,400
in competition.
They were a little tighter on

458
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,800
our routes in those those quick
hitters, they were keen on that.

459
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,900
They watch the ODU tape so we
weren't getting a ton of

460
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:04,400
separation.
But to when we saw that, I liked

461
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:10,300
it Bowen, kind of he's realized
that we don't necessarily have

462
00:28:10,900 --> 00:28:15,000
guys that can consistently get
separation just on their own.

463
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:18,400
He's using the scheme to get
Guys open.

464
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:22,400
And that's where a lot of those
intermediate routes are really

465
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,300
heavy in terms of the scheme.
So that's why you're seeing

466
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:30,600
success there.
Got it.

467
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,000
All right, that makes sense.
I'll be really interesting what

468
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,400
we do this week against Wofford,
and then obviously the West

469
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,900
Virginia game coming up.
Let's talk about a couple more

470
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:41,800
things.
Wrap up sort of close, the book

471
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:48,000
Run game, 144 yards.
Total the biggest ahead.

472
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,300
I don't know why 200, I wanted
200 but not bad what.

473
00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:55,200
We'll take it, obviously.
With some of the stuff you were

474
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,000
going to talk about a minute
with the offensive line.

475
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,300
I think, maybe we could have
gotten 200.

476
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,600
But let's talk about the one,
big one.

477
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,400
When you saw that, he Shaun King
run and you saw a develop

478
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,800
because where it was, that was
right at 30.

479
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,000
So you had that perfect view
from the West stands down, onto

480
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
it right here.
So, I'm sure you saw everybody

481
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,800
moving, but when you saw that
and in full and him, just go had

482
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,800
to make you feel.
It was glorious.

483
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:29,000
That was the best block play.
They had in the entire night,

484
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,100
exactly.
How you draw it up.

485
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:37,200
What?
I like we saw Clements kind of

486
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,300
get out there, get the kick on
the outside backer we saw JJ rap

487
00:29:41,300 --> 00:29:44,100
get a good block on the on the
inside linebacker.

488
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:48,400
But what impressed me most was
was Jane blue on this play

489
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,500
because he had a read where he
was kind of trying to get an

490
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:54,900
angle on the corner to get a
block.

491
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,400
He saw the corner ran himself
out of the play.

492
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,800
It immediately went up, feel got
to the safety, got a block King,

493
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,500
set it up for Him got to the
edge touchdown Hokies.

494
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,300
Yeah, they weren't going to
catch Keshawn King once he got

495
00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:12,400
in that open field and it was
and I'm sure that place was

496
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,800
rocking because it's, you know,
long touchdown runs have been

497
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,200
few and far between especially
last year.

498
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,000
So, you know.
No, unfortunately, he Shaun King

499
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,700
got bang.
I think everybody's saying,

500
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:26,100
like, if they would have needed
him in the second half, he could

501
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:28,600
have came in.
This is one of those management

502
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,100
issues like if we need you were
going to put you in stay on the

503
00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:32,100
bike.
Stay loose.

504
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:37,100
Um and after he goes out, you
know, Dylan Holston, got most of

505
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:42,200
the run after that, you know, he
ended it with 25 carries.

506
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,600
I mean we were running the ball
a lot, but I did not realize

507
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,500
Jalen got 25 carries only for 60
yards.

508
00:30:49,700 --> 00:30:54,400
We're hearing more and more
about Malachi Thomas that he's

509
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,700
close.
He's close to the fastest

510
00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:58,900
dealer.
He was practicing last week.

511
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:03,800
He wasn't doing contact but he
was practicing But he's needed

512
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,600
back.
And again we said it a couple

513
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,200
times and we're not trying to
drag but Malachi Thomas and

514
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,200
Keyshawn, King give you that
one-two punch of dynamic Runners

515
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,600
Thomas coming back to it also
gives you that opportunity to

516
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,300
put him in King on the field the
same time and give you even more

517
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:25,700
looks.
Yeah, because we started talking

518
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:28,500
get split out a couple times.
Like I said on the the Miss

519
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:32,400
block but you know, we ignore
that but King has the ability.

520
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,400
They're on the edge where as you
can Malachi probably is more of

521
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,900
a back, feel specific type
running back.

522
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:44,000
So if you can get both of those
guys on the field at the same

523
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,100
time, you know, from time to
time, I think that's going to be

524
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:49,600
a good thing.
And we saw what, you know, what

525
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,600
we wanted to see this week from
the from the running game

526
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,200
overall, we had a big play, you
know, we got some consistent

527
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:01,200
yards, they weren't we weren't
getting chunks, but we were, we

528
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,000
were getting some things here.
Here and there.

529
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,200
The problem was, we had a little
bit of trouble on first down

530
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,400
where we got a little
predictable.

531
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,600
I think in the calls on first
down and we weren't overwhelming

532
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:18,400
them in the middle of that that
defense like I thought we could

533
00:32:18,700 --> 00:32:21,100
to get to still get some
positive yards even if they are

534
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:24,000
key in on it.
All right, by the way, don't

535
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,000
take this back hole.
So had 20 carries 20 carries for

536
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,300
48 yards, I was had the wrong
data point up there.

537
00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:34,500
Alright, let's talk Got it
obviously, the oath offensive

538
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:39,200
line, did some good stuff this
week, which your grades overall

539
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,600
and then run game passing.
We're going with see this week

540
00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:48,600
overall.
Okay, I like the the Run game is

541
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:54,400
a borderline C+ for me, but I
think those first down calls

542
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,200
that I'm talking about there, or
what kind of held them back from

543
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,400
kind of taking a c plus B, minus
range overall, you can't on

544
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:06,200
First down, get your shit
pressed in consistently like

545
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,400
that even if they know it's
coming at some point you got to

546
00:33:09,408 --> 00:33:11,300
have some pride and start
getting some positive yards.

547
00:33:11,300 --> 00:33:17,000
Were consistently on that down.
So that's a knock, but pass Pro.

548
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:23,800
It was better at times and I was
and I'll say I'll qualify it

549
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,400
this way when they were sending
for.

550
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,000
Or they were just blitzing one.
We did a good job when we when

551
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,700
we saw it when we Had it was
pretty clear Who had who

552
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,000
pre-snap?
We did a good job, much better

553
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,100
than last week.
Alright, good deal.

554
00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:46,600
Good deal when they were
bringing five or more we

555
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:52,200
struggled and I know and I know
we're going to talk about that a

556
00:33:52,208 --> 00:33:55,300
little bit later.
So teaser bronze, got a few

557
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:58,100
things that he feels on why
we're struggling with that.

558
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,800
Is anybody in the doghouse
asleep?

559
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:03,700
The whole line because of the
reason that we're talking about

560
00:34:03,700 --> 00:34:07,800
now, Are we cause if that
doesn't improve when we get to

561
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,400
other teams, that consistently,
bring that type of type of

562
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,100
pressure, we're going to have
some problems, got it.

563
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:16,199
So we will hit that in just a
little while here.

564
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,500
Let's split, let's, let's let's
wrap this up.

565
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:21,300
Special teams, obviously a much
better day.

566
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,400
Clean synapse.
Will Ross is now 343 for the

567
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,600
year, including the 49-yard that
would have been good like from

568
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,400
58 and something.
If y'all haven't noticed, and

569
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,900
I'm not getting what Yeah, when
he kicks the ball, they're down

570
00:34:38,900 --> 00:34:44,500
Main Street.
Yep, every time Every time he

571
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:47,400
kicks a field goal, he is
putting it right down the

572
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:53,800
middle.
You never gonna live that down

573
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,000
ever.
Don't call me out, I'm good for

574
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,900
it.
Yeah, you have you were in the

575
00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:04,100
bird Peter more boom, some boom.
Absolutely boomed.

576
00:35:04,100 --> 00:35:07,500
One got a good bouncer seeming
like he Fades at the end.

577
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:10,500
I don't know if that's technique
or just you know, just the are

578
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:12,000
of the game.
So it'll be interesting to see

579
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,800
that.
But I think the one piece We'll

580
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,500
talk about really talk about
what you about the difference in

581
00:35:16,500 --> 00:35:21,200
coaching philosophies.
DJ Harvey made an error.

582
00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:27,400
His first one of the year in
special teams, essentially we

583
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,000
were up and he tried to make a
play.

584
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,700
Yep.
Good evening.

585
00:35:32,700 --> 00:35:35,300
Robbie hambone.
Something in Wilkesboro, he's

586
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:36,900
got connected.
He must be at the field house

587
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:41,700
tonight.
He's got to be, he makes the air

588
00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:43,000
because he was trying to make a
play.

589
00:35:44,300 --> 00:35:48,100
But he did lose his job.
He didn't get benched and he

590
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:52,400
shouldn't have You mean you got
a young guy and you instead of

591
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,400
putting the doghouse, you coach
him up and you get him back out

592
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,500
there to do it again and he did
it right.

593
00:35:57,500 --> 00:36:01,100
That's a novel fucking thought
right there, right?

594
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,600
And the next time, that was a
font.

595
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,700
He went up, he got it.
There was some people coming

596
00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:07,700
down.
Maybe you could have made a

597
00:36:07,707 --> 00:36:14,100
play, maybe he didn't but right.
Yeah, but you live, you learn.

598
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,100
I mean it's one of those things
if you're out there making

599
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:20,300
consistent errors and not trying
to Correct it.

600
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:22,200
Yes.
Put that person in the doghouse

601
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,200
if they make one mistake because
they're out there trying to make

602
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,000
a play.
No.

603
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,200
Can't do that coach him up and
get him out there and do it

604
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:36,000
again.
So it was, it was glorious to

605
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,700
see him.
Go back out there, but special

606
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:41,700
teams, cleaned it up.
And obviously, penalties,

607
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:45,000
cleaned up 25 penalties.
And are we perfect?

608
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Brian know, we're not perfect at
all, but let me ask this.

609
00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:52,000
In your view, did we see the
coaches?

610
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,200
And the players clean things up
in one?

611
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,200
Should say this.
The amount that we saw cleaned

612
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:02,600
up, get it shocking.
We cleaned up more than I

613
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,500
thought we would week-to-week.
I mean I know we talked about it

614
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:10,200
when we were on here you know I
said BC made a lot of mistakes

615
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,300
week one we made a ton of
mistakes.

616
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:17,200
We were deaf we definitely had
the further ground to cover in

617
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,400
terms of getting to a clean
slate and we definitely covered

618
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,200
a lot more than they did and
made up that ground and then

619
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,500
some, you know, again we're not
perfect.

620
00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:29,700
There's still a bunch of things
to clean up.

621
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,600
We got tight ends that are still
missing blocks.

622
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,700
We've got, we got wide receivers
that are still missing blocks.

623
00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:39,300
We got wide receivers that are
still not able to get open

624
00:37:39,300 --> 00:37:45,200
without some scheme help you
know, we got things here and

625
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,200
there on special teams that we
need to clean up.

626
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,800
There's there's stuff all over
the field that we need to clean

627
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:54,500
up but the progress from Week, 1
to week 2, what was really

628
00:37:54,500 --> 00:37:57,300
impressive?
So if we can keep making those

629
00:37:57,300 --> 00:38:00,400
strides in, this isn't kind of
one of those Those, you know,

630
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,900
two steps forward, one step
back, type deals.

631
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:07,300
Then I think we're working with
something abso-freakin'-lutely.

632
00:38:07,300 --> 00:38:12,300
So again, let's let's close the
book BC.

633
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,800
We take the wind Hokies are now
1 and 1 1 and 0 and ACC play.

634
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:19,300
As I joke with Brian.
Before we got on here, we

635
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:23,600
control our destiny to make it
to shout it.

636
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,300
Shout out to true it with the
eleven and one in the bayou.

637
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:32,600
So they are Brian.
Let's um, let's go.

638
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,700
Hokies news.
Notes other college football

639
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:37,400
notes.
I don't know if you got in the

640
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:44,300
stadium early enough.
But the line of recruits that

641
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:47,200
picture I cannot remember who
put it out there and if anybody

642
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,200
knows please comment so we can
give them proper.

643
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,100
Shout out whoever get that
picture of the recruits lined

644
00:38:53,100 --> 00:38:54,800
up, literally from the 50-yard
line.

645
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,700
All the way back to the tunnel.
Yep.

646
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,900
We knew there was a lot.
We you there are a lot of

647
00:38:58,900 --> 00:39:02,400
recruits on campus.
I'm sure you being you around

648
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,000
and show you around a lot ones
and two, which is near merryman.

649
00:39:06,300 --> 00:39:09,000
Not far from Miriam, and I'm
sure you saw some that's

650
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,900
impressive.
I don't care who you are.

651
00:39:12,700 --> 00:39:17,200
Yeah, we got 60 yards worth of
recruits on campus for one game,

652
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:22,600
and then you show out like that,
not only was laying great

653
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,300
laying, you know, laying his
Lane is usually great on a night

654
00:39:25,300 --> 00:39:28,000
game.
That's kind of a given it was as

655
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,800
advertised.
Yes, it was Saturday night and

656
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,400
then you go out there and you
put a performance like that

657
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,200
especially defensive for
performance where that's what

658
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,400
you've hung your hat on
historically, as well.

659
00:39:40,500 --> 00:39:42,200
That's Big, that's big for the
program.

660
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,500
It's only going to help you in
terms of moving forward with the

661
00:39:46,500 --> 00:39:50,300
recruiting, not just for this
cycle, but for 2024 and 2025 in

662
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:52,900
particular because a lot of
those kids were on campus to.

663
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,800
Yeah.
And again, it's the piece that

664
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,000
you talked about, it's having
them, there's great you got on

665
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,500
there, the, the atmosphere, but
then the stadium was full, the

666
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:04,400
opening shots of the stadium.
There was not a there was not a

667
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:05,900
gap.
I think the only little Gap you

668
00:40:05,908 --> 00:40:09,300
could see was up at the Boston
College section, but sometimes

669
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:11,600
they aren't given back in time
where you can LM because

670
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,000
technically it was a sellout
because what is it, the

671
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,800
allotment.
If the allotment tickets are

672
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,500
sold, you can still considered a
sell out but that's all

673
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:23,000
south-south had people in still
in the fourth quarter, which is

674
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,000
just impressive.
So, it's love, seeing that.

675
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:31,700
All right.
Now when you got your obviously

676
00:40:31,700 --> 00:40:36,300
all over, tailgate scene of
these three upsets, which one

677
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:40,500
made you smile the most abstract
and them Marshal over Notre

678
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:42,100
Dame.
Or Georgia Southern over

679
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:45,600
Nebraska.
All right, laugh or smile.

680
00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:51,100
What made you laugh?
The one that made me laugh.

681
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:53,000
Is the Braska losing to Georgia
Southern?

682
00:40:54,300 --> 00:41:01,700
She was like, all right, so he's
gone for three weeks.

683
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,800
Yeah, we can't wait three weeks
to save half the money.

684
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:05,900
We're going to go ahead and get
rid of him.

685
00:41:05,900 --> 00:41:10,800
Now, the one that made me smile,
the one that made me smile was

686
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:18,300
was App State over, am Just but,
I mean, and that, let's not,

687
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,700
let's not, you know, I've got a
little soft spot in my heart for

688
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:26,700
appstate anyway, so just
absolutely cool campus.

689
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,900
We used to practice there.
Any time we went down to

690
00:41:29,900 --> 00:41:35,500
Suwannee to play them.
So they were always good to us

691
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,400
on those on those road trips.
So got a got a soft spot in my

692
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,300
heart for App State, and then
you got am, which is, you know,

693
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,700
I've said it on here before I
say it all the time, there the

694
00:41:47,700 --> 00:41:51,700
UNC of the SEC.
Yes, they are Got Talent all

695
00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:55,200
over the field and they end up
shit the bed, four to five times

696
00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:00,200
a year.
And they did it again and this

697
00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:02,700
it could be a case of just not
starting the right quarterback.

698
00:42:02,700 --> 00:42:04,200
You got Max Johnson said in
there.

699
00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:09,500
Yeah well they started changing
yeah and the I don't know if I

700
00:42:09,508 --> 00:42:11,100
don't know if a quarterback
change is going to be good

701
00:42:11,100 --> 00:42:18,000
enough for them but Then to get
the laws, and then you get the

702
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,900
yells faltered, hit the timeline
that was through the timeline as

703
00:42:21,900 --> 00:42:24,600
early as Saturday.
And it's just, it's kept going

704
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,800
and kept going.
So, yeah, that would made me

705
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,300
smile.
But then later, it made me

706
00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:30,200
laugh.
It made you laugh.

707
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,600
Yeah, that one just made me do a
little bit of everything because

708
00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:37,000
the amount of money they spent
on an IO, the amount of

709
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,600
five-star recruit.
They essentially bought the

710
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,000
amount of money, they paid app
state to come there and lay that

711
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:47,300
whooping on them, 1.75 million.
The almost 100 million.

712
00:42:47,300 --> 00:42:50,400
They paid Jimbo because no, it
was 100 million because they

713
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,700
bought out, as far as state
contract and they're getting

714
00:42:53,700 --> 00:42:58,900
nothing in return and it just
makes you understand that.

715
00:42:58,900 --> 00:43:01,600
Even in the highest level of
football, there can be the team

716
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,000
with a lot of talent that can't
do shit with it and it kind of

717
00:43:05,008 --> 00:43:07,800
makes you happy.
I mean, if you wanted to win

718
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,600
eight or nine games and get
maybe one big victory, a year,

719
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,000
you should have just kept
someone, yes, they could have

720
00:43:13,008 --> 00:43:15,600
done that but me the exact same.
Records.

721
00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:18,900
Same time through.
All right, real quick, before we

722
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:24,400
head off to break here, the ACC
hoop schedule was released

723
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:29,800
obviously a lot of good games,
both Carolina and Duke at home.

724
00:43:30,300 --> 00:43:33,800
Only do you go on the road, they
quarter screwed the Hokies out

725
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:38,300
the gate though with UNC game,
because if you look on your

726
00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:41,200
calendar, Bryan, pull up that
calendar on your computer and go

727
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,200
down to December December. 4th
is a Sunday in My anticipation

728
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,300
is if it's Sunday, they're
probably going to put it on

729
00:43:48,300 --> 00:43:53,600
between six and seven as to not
interfere with football, or try

730
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,700
to catch the back half of
football.

731
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:02,700
So, that sucks.
But, you know, I like the flow

732
00:44:02,700 --> 00:44:06,000
of the schedule because you get
UNC out the gate, then BC and

733
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,700
wake in Clemson then state.
So it's not like there's a

734
00:44:10,700 --> 00:44:17,200
murderer's row section in my
opinion, anywhere in the

735
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:21,200
schedule where it's like you can
play Carolina, do state

736
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,400
Louisville, Florida State back
to back to back.

737
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,300
Yeah, there's like a one tough
stretch where they open and

738
00:44:28,300 --> 00:44:33,400
close a month with UVA but
that's really the That's

739
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:34,700
probably the meat of the
schedule.

740
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,600
Yep.
Yep.

741
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,200
But overall, I think it does
schedules final be interesting

742
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,300
to see how this team plays out
again.

743
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:47,000
I just don't want to start like
last year.

744
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:52,600
We've got to get over that this
year because if we can be solid

745
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:56,400
especially in conference play, I
mean we didn't start the season

746
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,200
awful.
I think overall we had a couple

747
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,600
losses that we wanted to have
back but as soon as we got in

748
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,200
the conference play and just
drop so many out, the gate You

749
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:13,200
know, you had to really fight to
even secure your spot there and

750
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,900
it we probably wouldn't have had
if we had to went down to went

751
00:45:16,900 --> 00:45:19,400
up to New York and when the
whole fucking thing.

752
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:24,900
So exactly, exactly.
It's pretty wild.

753
00:45:24,900 --> 00:45:26,700
You don't want to put yourself
in that situation again.

754
00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:30,200
So you gotta think jump jump on
that January schedule would be a

755
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,600
lot better in January.
Then you weren't here last year

756
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,300
and be close to as good as you
were in February.

757
00:45:37,100 --> 00:45:38,600
Because you get that's going to
be tough.

758
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,500
It's going to be tough.
That's gonna be tough because we

759
00:45:41,500 --> 00:45:43,100
weren't there.
The thing is be better in

760
00:45:43,100 --> 00:45:45,500
January, so you don't have to be
almost perfect.

761
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:48,300
Well, you don't have to be
perfect in February, but you

762
00:45:48,300 --> 00:45:50,500
could you need to be close to
consume.

763
00:45:50,500 --> 00:45:56,500
You need to be as consistent as
you want to be there because I

764
00:45:56,500 --> 00:46:01,500
think we've got probably a
deeper roster top-to-bottom than

765
00:46:01,500 --> 00:46:03,200
we had last year.
Yep.

766
00:46:03,700 --> 00:46:06,200
I think there's more guys that
were on the roster last year

767
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,300
that are ready to be key.
Contributors this year out, the

768
00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:11,000
gate.
And then you got, you know, guys

769
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,100
coming in that have played big
roles on other teams, and I

770
00:46:15,107 --> 00:46:17,500
think they're ready to kind of
slide in.

771
00:46:17,500 --> 00:46:20,500
So if you can get acclimated in
those early months of the Season

772
00:46:20,500 --> 00:46:26,100
before you get into conference
play in early December, I think.

773
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,800
Going to be me what needs to
happen to get the thing rolling

774
00:46:30,100 --> 00:46:32,200
abso-freakin'-lutely.
Alright Braun.

775
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,700
So before we get into some of
our main topics tonight, we are

776
00:46:36,700 --> 00:46:39,600

Nice, will do know, the episode.

785
00:47:10,100 --> 00:47:12,700
We're gonna do this a little
different because we're not only

786
00:47:12,700 --> 00:47:14,800
going to do know the Emily.
We're going to do a know that

787
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,000
sell for a couple games in.
We can talk about a few things.

788
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:22,400
With Wofford being an FCS
opponent, not a lot of data on

789
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,900
there.
They are not a good team at all.

790
00:47:25,500 --> 00:47:28,700
There Owen to, they haven't
scored a point and Brian, I know

791
00:47:28,700 --> 00:47:32,500
you did a little reading earlier
today and found some interesting

792
00:47:32,500 --> 00:47:35,700
stuff out on them.
She got out treadmill, horse out

793
00:47:35,700 --> 00:47:37,300
there.
Who did a little interview with

794
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,300
JoJo games longer thinkin's?
Yeah, but I'll let you go on

795
00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:45,800
that because you were asked him
to before, I went to baseball

796
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,800
practice.
So I'll let you go on that, man.

797
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,100
Yeah, so again big shout-out to
treadmill horse treadmill

798
00:47:51,100 --> 00:47:54,700
horse.com then the interviews up
there with Joe James from

799
00:47:54,700 --> 00:47:59,000
Wofford fans.com, I guess that's
their that's the Big Blog.

800
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,000
He's been running it for four
years, I think.

801
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,200
I think Joe actually lives if I
want to if I remember correctly

802
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,800
in Northern Virginia now.
So he's in the area.

803
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:17,700
But big Wofford fan goes way
back and the head coach for a

804
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:19,100
walk.
It is.

805
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,900
It's coach Conklin and he's on
the hot seat and he might not

806
00:48:23,900 --> 00:48:28,900
make it through the year and I
didn't think we were going to be

807
00:48:28,900 --> 00:48:33,400
talking Justin Fuente in this.
Preview.

808
00:48:33,700 --> 00:48:37,200
But somehow we are because
they're kind of looking at an

809
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,300
FCS equivalent of the Fuente
regime down there at Wofford

810
00:48:41,300 --> 00:48:45,200
right now I'm going to read a
quote from from the interview

811
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,300
that was on there and you know
we'll talk about that a little

812
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:50,000
more here in a second.
All right.

813
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,500
So this is the quote, a big
elephant in the room is that

814
00:48:52,500 --> 00:48:56,600
basically every fan at Wofford
wants, Josh Conklin fired, he

815
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,400
tried to leave our program twice
before we went downhill.

816
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,100
Once as a defensive coordinator
position in Tennessee of once as

817
00:49:03,100 --> 00:49:06,900
a head coach of South Carolina
and we've been awful ever since

818
00:49:07,100 --> 00:49:10,500
from our perspective, he came in
rode the coattails of a or

819
00:49:10,500 --> 00:49:13,300
success.
That's the former head coach saw

820
00:49:13,300 --> 00:49:17,200
us as a stepping stone to
greener pastures failed and is

821
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,400
in over his head.
It's wild.

822
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,700
He hasn't been fired yet in my
opinion.

823
00:49:23,700 --> 00:49:26,800
So the biggest difference well,
I guess the Baylor flirtation

824
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,800
you put on there.
At least this guy.

825
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:35,300
Either the Baylor flirtation, a
years essentially is Bud Foster

826
00:49:35,300 --> 00:49:39,300
in this situation where he stays
around for a couple of years, he

827
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,200
modifies his offense a little
bit and then he retires.

828
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:48,700
Yeah, so there there's a lot of
parallels here that are just

829
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:50,800
that they were two.
Interesting, not to note.

830
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:56,800
And aside from the fact, I think
a lot of the fanbase wanted him

831
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,400
fired at the end of last year
when they went 111.

832
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,600
And now they are starting the
year owing to when they have not

833
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:09,900
scored a point yet.
That is the really, really bad

834
00:50:09,900 --> 00:50:12,800
peace because they have not
scored a point yet.

835
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,600
I mean, and then played two
decent teams and UT Chattanooga.

836
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,500
New on.
Don't get me wrong, Chattanooga,

837
00:50:19,500 --> 00:50:22,600
particular challenge.
That nigga's ranked Ilan has I

838
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:28,200
think made the tournament for a
few years but I mean, I think I

839
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,100
read part of that article
offered had been to the playoffs

840
00:50:32,100 --> 00:50:36,000
numerous times under airs in the
past few decades.

841
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,300
Like I'm very good very solid
football program down there so

842
00:50:40,300 --> 00:50:42,600
it's like that.
I mean that's the correlation

843
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:47,500
where you take a team that is
used to a lot of success, have

844
00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:52,200
some success and then try to
move to greener pastures Conklin

845
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,900
had been the DC down at Pitt.
He was a safety coach out of

846
00:50:54,900 --> 00:50:58,800
Tennessee and I kind of When I
hear well I'm gonna go be the

847
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,700
head coach of South Carolina
when they fire will muschamp

848
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:05,300
this like Homeslice know you
ain't got your gonna go to

849
00:51:05,300 --> 00:51:07,300
offer.
I'm not trying to be crappy to

850
00:51:07,300 --> 00:51:11,700
offered your coaching.
Wofford now maybe the defensive

851
00:51:11,700 --> 00:51:15,000
coordinator to Tennessee maybe
but again you're at Wofford

852
00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:18,800
there's a reason you're there.
Usually if you're there and you

853
00:51:18,808 --> 00:51:22,100
have some success you would bump
up potentially to a G5 you

854
00:51:22,100 --> 00:51:26,700
didn't.
So it's fascinating I'd love to

855
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,200
Put up the message right there
from Robbie.

856
00:51:35,300 --> 00:51:38,200
So this is our coach.
Is everybody coach Robbie

857
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,300
Compton on?
In one of their main supporters

858
00:51:40,300 --> 00:51:43,500
is a walker alumni and then
don't like the guy.

859
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:48,000
So clearly, it's reciprocated
that he is not well, liked a

860
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,800
pencil over.
This is not just Joe James, you

861
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:56,600
know, breaking out of raging.
All right, so the question is,

862
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:01,200
let's talk about this team now.
Unless Wonder, can we hang

863
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,500
enough points on this team to
continually?

864
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:10,000
What are you sleeping in black?
I mean, so I don't know if

865
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,900
that's the case because I mean
they're expecting to get

866
00:52:13,900 --> 00:52:18,600
pummeled regardless, I think
that's so bad, that's the

867
00:52:18,607 --> 00:52:22,400
expectation.
When you play a game like this,

868
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,500
you kind of expect to get
pummeled, but I mean, that

869
00:52:25,500 --> 00:52:28,800
offense has been abysmal through
two weeks against FC.

870
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,900
S competition, right?
They've got an inability to

871
00:52:31,900 --> 00:52:35,200
really effectively put together
drives and to score points.

872
00:52:37,500 --> 00:52:39,900
They are still breaking in their
new OC.

873
00:52:40,500 --> 00:52:43,800
So let's break that down.
Let's break that down a little

874
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:44,800
bit.
So they are looking to see.

875
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:49,100
I'm looking at the notes here
and I'm wondering why are you

876
00:52:49,100 --> 00:52:51,500
even trying to do this at the
FCS level?

877
00:52:52,300 --> 00:52:54,800
So they had it.
They had a do see under airs,

878
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,700
that was running the triple
option, the first year under

879
00:52:58,700 --> 00:53:02,800
Conklin they ran the triple
option Conklin wanted to move

880
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,100
them away from the triple option
so they're old coordinators

881
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:09,500
started running.
Or of he kind of modified the

882
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:13,000
offense.
It was more of a quasi West

883
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:17,200
Coast spread RPO that was kind
of getting put into place there

884
00:53:18,100 --> 00:53:22,700
and the 21 season when they
played in the in the spring it

885
00:53:22,700 --> 00:53:28,000
went pretty well.
And then he stepped down and

886
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:33,000
then it was a clown show last
year and then it's been a clown

887
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,300
show so far this year and they
got a new.

888
00:53:35,300 --> 00:53:41,300
Oh, see this year after.
Conklin promoted two of his boys

889
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,500
to take over the old osce's role
for the start of the 2021 fall

890
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:51,400
season last year.
So it's been a, basically, a

891
00:53:51,408 --> 00:53:54,300
comedy of errors, but so, yeah.
Now they're more of a spread,

892
00:53:54,300 --> 00:53:58,200
our po type of attack versus a
triple option of the offensive

893
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,900
line struggles heavily.
As you might expect from an

894
00:54:00,900 --> 00:54:05,100
offensive line that not only,
you know, is FCS, but was

895
00:54:05,100 --> 00:54:11,300
recruited to run a triple option
and they consistently shoot

896
00:54:11,300 --> 00:54:14,400
themselves in the foot on
offense between fumbles,

897
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:18,000
interceptions, missed
assignments and things like that

898
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,100
so they are just not a good.
Offense to watch.

899
00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:24,500
Yeah, I mean, luckily Brian got
actually to see.

900
00:54:24,500 --> 00:54:26,800
He was afraid, he wasn't going
to be able to get any tape from

901
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,900
this year at.
Luckily, the elongation was on

902
00:54:28,900 --> 00:54:32,300
ESPN plus over the weekend.
So you actually got to see the

903
00:54:32,300 --> 00:54:37,300
tape looking through.
I was just at diving and I mean,

904
00:54:37,700 --> 00:54:42,000
the, the stats are ugly.
I mean, it's ugly ugly in when I

905
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:46,700
say, ugly, ugly on offense.
Y'all, I mean, to a point where

906
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:55,400
they're averaging basically,
they have D6 total yards gained

907
00:54:55,400 --> 00:55:00,100
crushing the ball, they have 192
passing, they are averaging, and

908
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:06,700
175 yards of King, you can make
an argument that they're running

909
00:55:06,700 --> 00:55:08,200
game is their strength right
now.

910
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,600
Yeah.
I mean, the Mike Walker.

911
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,000
I mean, but that poor guys only
got 80 yards for the year.

912
00:55:14,300 --> 00:55:16,500
So actually go back and think
about that.

913
00:55:16,500 --> 00:55:20,000
One guy is accounted for quarter
their offense.

914
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:25,400
Yeah one guy and he's put the
ball on the ground three times.

915
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:31,700
So yeah, it's not exactly great
here on the offensive side of

916
00:55:31,707 --> 00:55:36,500
the ball but defensively and I
go there playing FCS, it's not

917
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:37,700
much better.
Is it run?

918
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,800
It's not great, especially for
FCS.

919
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,800
I mean, they're giving them
about 29 Points a game, you

920
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,500
know, we said they're kind of
playing that upper mid level FCS

921
00:55:47,500 --> 00:55:49,000
competition.
Right now they played

922
00:55:49,100 --> 00:55:52,700
Chattanooga's.
Ranked solid solid team, not

923
00:55:52,700 --> 00:55:56,400
upper-tier though.
And, you know, elon's kind of

924
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,700
the upper end of that middle of
the road back there.

925
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:06,900
They run a base 3-4, which is I
mean, they've ran ran that for a

926
00:56:06,908 --> 00:56:09,400
long time that that even goes
back to a or so, that's one

927
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,400
thing that Conklin hasn't
changed all they are a little

928
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,400
more multiple but they are a 34
base.

929
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,500
They are better on defense.
In an offense like we talked

930
00:56:21,500 --> 00:56:23,900
about but they still struggle in
the trenches as you would expect

931
00:56:23,900 --> 00:56:28,900
from an FCS team.
They defend the pass better than

932
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:32,800
the run and they but they can be
influence with the play action

933
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,300
and misdirection in the past
game.

934
00:56:34,300 --> 00:56:37,100
So I think that's something that
we can take advantage of run a

935
00:56:37,107 --> 00:56:40,900
lot, what we saw at ODU.
I think we can.

936
00:56:40,900 --> 00:56:45,400
We can get them kind of confused
with with the flow and come back

937
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:46,700
to the tight end on the other
side.

938
00:56:46,700 --> 00:56:52,400
Come back to the Digger Cross or
something like that, that kind

939
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,500
of gets them away from where
the, where the flow of the play

940
00:56:54,500 --> 00:57:00,200
is going.
But, yeah, it's this is a game

941
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,200
that we should dominate on both
sides of the ball and on special

942
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,600
teams.
Absolutely.

943
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:13,400
I mean they're just not a good
team whatsoever and obviously

944
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,700
going through a ton of turmoil
I'm sure down a small community

945
00:57:16,700 --> 00:57:21,300
like wall for does players are
here in it so it's going to be

946
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:24,000
interesting to see the outcome
of this game.

947
00:57:24,700 --> 00:57:27,300
Now the most the most like
cringe thing though.

948
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,600
What's the most cream?
I guess the coach does like he's

949
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,800
like weekly Is his weekly
interview?

950
00:57:36,500 --> 00:57:41,400
Okay, I can see the guy that's
interviewing is trying so hard,

951
00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:46,800
not to completely crush.
This guy's hopes and dreams and

952
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:50,900
keep it as positive as possible.
And it's, it's, it hurts me so

953
00:57:50,900 --> 00:57:53,600
much.
How it's like, you haven't

954
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,900
scored a point.
You're giving up almost 30 a

955
00:57:55,900 --> 00:58:01,200
game.
It's one of the like he's just

956
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,400
grass with re.
How can I ask this question in

957
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,700
the most positive way possible,
considering that we're owing to

958
00:58:07,700 --> 00:58:10,600
and have not scored a point yet?
Not scored a point.

959
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:14,600
Now, we have to go to a power
five opponents, home field.

960
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,300
Now lucky for them it's an 11
o'clock game.

961
00:58:17,300 --> 00:58:21,600
Not even 3:30, so which yeah,
those kids are going to get home

962
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,400
in time to Rage.
That's hilarious.

963
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,300
Alright, Braun.
So little so there's your little

964
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:34,200
That ground on Wofford.
But let's let's flip what this

965
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,600
week is really about.
We've seen us through two games,

966
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,400
we've already talked about some
improvement.

967
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,900
Let's know that self and Ron as
we always mention this as an

968
00:58:41,900 --> 00:58:44,700
offensive lineman podcast, let's
start there.

969
00:58:45,100 --> 00:58:49,700
What is the biggest thing that
we have to do this weekend on

970
00:58:49,700 --> 00:58:51,700
the Hokies offensive line versus
Walker?

971
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,700
For both are short and long-term
success on the offensive line,

972
00:58:56,700 --> 00:59:01,000
we need to get Xavier chaplain
and Braylon more some

973
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,100
significant snaps against this
competition.

974
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:07,300
What about how?
And I threw hollifield in there,

975
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:10,600
as well.
Okay, but I prefer, we got to

976
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:16,100
get chaplain and more.
You say hollyfield because that

977
00:59:16,100 --> 00:59:19,700
way if you if your Center does
go down, you got someone else

978
00:59:19,700 --> 00:59:22,900
that's taking live stamps.
Yeah, that's really it.

979
00:59:24,500 --> 00:59:29,000
But I think in terms of
long-term Chaplain and more,

980
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,400
probably more important because
I feel like they can help us

981
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,400
potentially this year.
Whereas hollifield is truly,

982
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,100
unless something happens to
Johnny is a next year situation.

983
00:59:38,500 --> 00:59:41,700
Okay.
What about push?

984
00:59:41,700 --> 00:59:45,300
You looked at this offensive
line or just defensive line of

985
00:59:45,300 --> 00:59:47,100
Walford.
You said, they're not good in

986
00:59:47,100 --> 00:59:50,300
the trenches.
Is this the game?

987
00:59:50,300 --> 00:59:53,600
Where if you don't see push, you
get a little worried.

988
00:59:55,300 --> 00:59:56,700
Yeah.
If I don't see them

989
00:59:56,700 --> 01:00:01,300
re-establish, the line.
Scrimmage at the gate then

990
01:00:01,300 --> 01:00:05,100
that's going to be problematic.
For me we got to be better on

991
01:00:05,100 --> 01:00:07,700
first down runs like I said,
sometimes you just got to sack

992
01:00:07,700 --> 01:00:11,300
up and get some yards even when
they're selling out for it.

993
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,400
And I know they're selling out
for right now because we haven't

994
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:14,800
been as consistent in the
passing game.

995
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:19,000
Is you hear me?
But when we have been somewhat

996
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,800
predictable on first down but
you still got to be able to get

997
01:00:23,100 --> 01:00:24,900
two yards.
Every time you line up at run

998
01:00:24,900 --> 01:00:26,800
the ball regardless of whether
it's predictable.

999
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,800
And especially against this
opponent, right?

1000
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:36,200
So doing that, but you mentioned
something to me, we didn't hit

1001
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,300
it on the BC because I kind of
wanted to hit it here.

1002
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:43,200
You notice that some of those
not ugly runs where we only got

1003
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:46,300
two or three yards that they
were actually block directly.

1004
01:00:46,300 --> 01:00:49,100
Write in this people were
missing the lanes.

1005
01:00:49,100 --> 01:00:52,800
I know I I pulled up one,
somebody put out there, can't

1006
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,700
remember who I can remember, who
I'd let you know, but somebody

1007
01:00:55,700 --> 01:00:58,000
put up one it was a Jalen
Holston run.

1008
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,100
Anybody like all terribly block
and you look you slow it down

1009
01:01:02,100 --> 01:01:05,700
and literally there's the lane
lane is to the right.

1010
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,000
Yes, there's a linebacker in
that hole but is it the job

1011
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,200
right there?
Is you go to that hole.

1012
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:15,600
Your job is to try to get by
him, run over him.

1013
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,000
But if nothing else, there's
five yards, he tackles you on

1014
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,300
spot.
You're going to fall forward to

1015
01:01:20,308 --> 01:01:24,300
going to pick up 7 versus
getting three or four dip.

1016
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:28,900
And I'll say this, holsten's
biggest strength is How hard he

1017
01:01:28,900 --> 01:01:34,800
runs holsten's, biggest weakness
is his visibility.

1018
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:40,000
He does not have the best
visibility in terms of picking

1019
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,000
the right lane.
That's something he struggled

1020
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:47,000
with his entire career here.
It hasn't gotten better but he

1021
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,700
runs hard and when he when he
picks his Lane, he gets as much

1022
01:01:50,700 --> 01:01:52,900
as he can get wherever it is,
even if it's true, right?

1023
01:01:52,900 --> 01:01:56,500
One on that play, he got like
four yards and because he just

1024
01:01:56,500 --> 01:01:58,000
barreled ran as hard as he
could.

1025
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:02,700
But when I still that lane, it's
like if you make that cut that

1026
01:02:02,700 --> 01:02:05,800
line backers going to have to
meet you in the hole, he has to

1027
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,800
tackle you yes to bring you down
so it's interesting.

1028
01:02:08,900 --> 01:02:11,700
All right we mentioned this is
the teaser from our earlier.

1029
01:02:11,700 --> 01:02:14,200
You mentioned past Pro had
gotten significantly better

1030
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,900
against BC.
You greatest as up, they went

1031
01:02:16,900 --> 01:02:19,300
from a d and now they're into
the sea categories.

1032
01:02:20,100 --> 01:02:23,500
You said they're good with the
straight up four man, Rush.

1033
01:02:23,500 --> 01:02:28,000
That's not the issue. but you
started talking about even five,

1034
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,700
they can handle, but if they
started bringing more pressure,

1035
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,100
That's when the issues came and
give me, give me what your

1036
01:02:37,100 --> 01:02:40,900
hypothesis is on this.
Yeah, I mean, it comes down to

1037
01:02:40,900 --> 01:02:43,500
communication.
It looks like they are not

1038
01:02:43,500 --> 01:02:46,700
whether whether it's Wells, not
getting the right checks or

1039
01:02:46,700 --> 01:02:51,600
checking into the the right
audibles for check downs.

1040
01:02:52,300 --> 01:02:55,100
But I think it's more this, the
communication on the blitz,

1041
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,000
across the board.
Because anytime there was like a

1042
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:05,000
five-man pressure six-man
pressure They were struggling if

1043
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:06,900
they didn't see where the blitz
was coming from.

1044
01:03:06,900 --> 01:03:11,200
Have that guy identified in
advance of the stamp, there were

1045
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,500
some communication problems
about who was going to commit.

1046
01:03:13,500 --> 01:03:17,800
Take who a lot of times you had
a guard or a tackle block, no

1047
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,800
one because the communication
wasn't there.

1048
01:03:20,500 --> 01:03:23,800
So you got a you got a free
rusher, we had several where,

1049
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:26,400
you know, we had five lineman in
a running back in there to

1050
01:03:26,408 --> 01:03:30,500
block, so we had six accounting
for six but we had to come free.

1051
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,800
That can't happen.
You've got to be able to

1052
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:38,600
communicate who's taking who
understand if there is any sort

1053
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:44,400
of Twister stunt who's passing
to who That's got, that's got to

1054
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:48,100
be established pre-snap and that
communication.

1055
01:03:48,100 --> 01:03:49,800
And that feel is just not there
yet.

1056
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,700
And I don't know whether it is
not being communicated at the

1057
01:03:52,707 --> 01:03:56,800
line or whether just we haven't
repped enough and have the feel

1058
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,300
for those type of heavy
pressures.

1059
01:03:58,300 --> 01:04:02,200
Yet, we're comfortable with
passing guys off or making those

1060
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,100
adjustments after the ball is
snapped and we kind of see what

1061
01:04:06,100 --> 01:04:08,000
they're actually bringing.
All right.

1062
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,600
So, obviously, there and I mean
is it is it a week like this?

1063
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:15,300
Where that is something?
Rudolph can really coach knowing

1064
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,400
this is a lesser team.
If there's anything, you're

1065
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:22,400
trying to implement with that
communication or offensive

1066
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,000
coordinator talking about making
the right check is this a week

1067
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,100
to really?
Let's bring this to the front.

1068
01:04:27,300 --> 01:04:29,700
Before we get into this stretch
of games, we're playing nothing

1069
01:04:29,700 --> 01:04:34,800
but essentially, good
competition from here on out.

1070
01:04:36,500 --> 01:04:38,500
I mean, it's definitely going to
be a point of emphasis that's

1071
01:04:38,500 --> 01:04:40,400
probably something they talked
about during the correction

1072
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,200
period on Sunday.
It's probably something that

1073
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:46,700
they're going to work more on
probably during I don't I don't

1074
01:04:46,700 --> 01:04:49,000
know how they break down
practice in terms of, you know

1075
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,700
what they work on offense, but
if they have like a third down

1076
01:04:51,700 --> 01:04:54,200
period, they're definitely going
to work on that during third

1077
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:59,100
down period.
So that's what I want to see.

1078
01:04:59,100 --> 01:05:04,000
Is just some improvement again.
I don't expect every time they

1079
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:08,600
bring six for us to pick it up.
That's a, that's a big ask,

1080
01:05:09,100 --> 01:05:11,800
okay.
But but if we got to be more

1081
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,700
consistent then you know one out
of eight or whatever it was.

1082
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,200
Yeah, Saturday, got it.
All right, so there's some stuff

1083
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:19,700
we want to see on the offensive
line.

1084
01:05:19,700 --> 01:05:22,000
The big piece, get the young
guys involved and let's see the

1085
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,300
communication, get better on
blitzes.

1086
01:05:25,700 --> 01:05:27,400
All right.
Now, let's talk about the skill

1087
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,100
positions, even though we've hit
it earlier, obviously we said

1088
01:05:30,100 --> 01:05:32,800
Caleb Smith secure the room.
It was great to see, blumrich

1089
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,900
and Gosnell get more involved
this week, but of all the names,

1090
01:05:35,900 --> 01:05:39,000
we've heard.
The one named we have not heard

1091
01:05:39,300 --> 01:05:42,200
other than his nasty downfield
blocking his Jaden blue.

1092
01:05:42,700 --> 01:05:47,300
How important is it to get his
confidence up this week in

1093
01:05:49,300 --> 01:05:53,000
overall start thinking.
Now we have maybe six reliable

1094
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:57,600
wide receiver targets.
He and I think what's strange is

1095
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,900
that we've done a good job of
like scheming a couple other

1096
01:05:59,900 --> 01:06:03,300
guys open.
Predictably Gosnell in blumrich.

1097
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:08,400
I'd like to see us start working
some some scheme to get blue,

1098
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,500
some open touches chance for him
to get the ball in space and let

1099
01:06:12,500 --> 01:06:15,200
him work a little bit because I
don't know if it's a confidence

1100
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:18,300
thing right now but he's not
getting good separation.

1101
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:23,000
When he's on the field, he
hasn't seen a lot of targets and

1102
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,400
I think we need to start calling
it.

1103
01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:27,500
A little bit to get him
comfortable in this office

1104
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:29,500
because he's going to need to
play a role in this offense.

1105
01:06:29,500 --> 01:06:32,100
Whether he ends up, you know,
playing the role that I think

1106
01:06:32,100 --> 01:06:34,900
that a lot of us thought he
could be coming into the season.

1107
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:37,200
That's the question.
But he's going to still need to

1108
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,200
play a role for us this year.
So we need to start getting in

1109
01:06:39,207 --> 01:06:45,100
some confidence.
Yeah, it's definitely he's sort

1110
01:06:45,100 --> 01:06:47,600
of like that.
I don't want to say it's the

1111
01:06:47,607 --> 01:06:51,100
linchpin.
But I feel like he is because if

1112
01:06:51,100 --> 01:06:53,800
you feel like, if you get him
going because he does have a

1113
01:06:54,300 --> 01:06:58,500
skill set, he has it will make
things a year.

1114
01:06:58,500 --> 01:07:01,100
So you for Caleb, it will make
things easier for Connor and

1115
01:07:01,100 --> 01:07:04,100
Gosnell.
Even the Wayne just, he's like

1116
01:07:04,100 --> 01:07:08,900
that one guy.
So it's really going to be

1117
01:07:08,900 --> 01:07:11,900
interesting to see.
I hope they scheme.

1118
01:07:11,900 --> 01:07:15,500
I hope that the game plan is
like you said, around scheming

1119
01:07:15,500 --> 01:07:18,300
him to where he gets the ball
and he feels comfortable.

1120
01:07:19,100 --> 01:07:23,800
All right, um notice the depth
chart that our friend, David

1121
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:27,000
Cunningham put out.
Did you see who was 2 on The X

1122
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,900
side?
Yes, I'll be got it.

1123
01:07:30,900 --> 01:07:34,400
Christian Moss Out There.
Interested.

1124
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,700
The walk on Willie officially is
no longer on the wide receiver

1125
01:07:38,700 --> 01:07:43,900
depth, so we don't know it, but
could Moss have been battling

1126
01:07:43,900 --> 01:07:45,200
something.
We had heard his name, mentioned

1127
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:50,100
a few times, how important to
get him and you know somebody

1128
01:07:50,100 --> 01:07:53,600
else coming back, Jalen Jones,
how important to get them on the

1129
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,700
field for a ton of reps this
week?

1130
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:58,900
Yeah, I mean, those are the two
guys we were talking about

1131
01:07:58,900 --> 01:08:02,600
preseason of kind of being that,
you know, fourth, fifth, six

1132
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:04,900
guy.
In the wide receiver room that

1133
01:08:04,900 --> 01:08:07,300
we're going to need to count on
to some degree this year.

1134
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,700
It's great seeing their names
back on the depth chart in the

1135
01:08:10,700 --> 01:08:15,000
2D looking forward to seeing
what they can do in some

1136
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,100
extended time.
I know Moss, I think got a

1137
01:08:17,108 --> 01:08:22,200
little run against BC, we
haven't seen Jones yet but he's

1138
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,000
back in the depth chart.
So I'm looking forward to see

1139
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,600
what he can do out there this
week.

1140
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,100
And this is the week that you
can kind of let some of these

1141
01:08:28,100 --> 01:08:32,399
young guys cook a little bit.
I feel like because I don't I

1142
01:08:32,399 --> 01:08:34,800
don't think that That they're
going to match up that great

1143
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:39,300
with us outside so I want to see
us try to get some separation.

1144
01:08:39,300 --> 01:08:42,700
I want to see us work in some
young guys and get them some

1145
01:08:42,700 --> 01:08:45,100
targets just like we did we do
we talked about with blue?

1146
01:08:45,100 --> 01:08:49,500
I want to see at least one or
two routes schemed for moss and

1147
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:53,100
Jalen to kind of get the ball in
their hands and make a play.

1148
01:08:54,399 --> 01:08:59,500
All right, what can we do?
As far as the tight ends go, you

1149
01:08:59,500 --> 01:09:02,500
mentioned, you were not
satisfied with their blocking.

1150
01:09:03,700 --> 01:09:05,800
When they're in line or in the
wing.

1151
01:09:05,899 --> 01:09:09,500
What can we do to help?
Obviously plan or lesser

1152
01:09:09,500 --> 01:09:11,000
opponents?
A confidence Builder.

1153
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:15,300
But what do you look for
technique-wise in a game like

1154
01:09:15,300 --> 01:09:18,899
this?
I mean, I think right now the

1155
01:09:18,899 --> 01:09:22,000
biggest problem is that,
sometimes it's the assignment

1156
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,800
they're not reading the
alignment of the defense

1157
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,899
correctly and they're missing
their assignment.

1158
01:09:26,300 --> 01:09:28,500
Okay?
So I think What needs to be

1159
01:09:28,500 --> 01:09:29,899
looked at this?
We can correct.

1160
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,800
It is that you know you got a
lot of times where you seeing

1161
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:38,100
Gallo ship when he when you
shouldn't.

1162
01:09:38,100 --> 01:09:40,500
You got it.
You got him going up to the

1163
01:09:40,500 --> 01:09:43,200
wrong backer, you get.
I mean there's a lot of things

1164
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:47,800
that are just maybe just Gallo
still getting adjusted to some

1165
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,200
of the elements of the offense
because we didn't see as many of

1166
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,000
these blocking snafus from him
last year.

1167
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,300
But I don't know whether that's
just a comfort with the offense

1168
01:09:57,300 --> 01:10:00,000
that he had last year that he
hasn't gained this year.

1169
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:04,200
He looks a lot better.
He's picked up the passing

1170
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,400
elements quickly.
Okay, it seems like he has not

1171
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:10,100
picked up the Run.
Elements of this offense as

1172
01:10:10,100 --> 01:10:13,100
quickly.
That's interesting, especially

1173
01:10:13,100 --> 01:10:16,900
when Gallo was known as kind of
The Blocking tight end last

1174
01:10:16,900 --> 01:10:19,200
year.
I mean, he got a little warm or

1175
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:22,300
of the offensive play maker role
in James Mitchell, went out.

1176
01:10:22,300 --> 01:10:25,300
So I find that interesting he
hadn't picked it up that quick,

1177
01:10:25,300 --> 01:10:30,200
but again, Being asked to do
different things and maybe it's

1178
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,600
just not there again.
We see him.

1179
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,500
Catch the ball.
So we know we can do that but

1180
01:10:36,500 --> 01:10:39,000
hopefully this week the blocking
gets better.

1181
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:44,800
Because as we get again, this is
sort of the one where it's like,

1182
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:48,500
we're in the woods right now,
and we're about to hit the

1183
01:10:48,500 --> 01:10:51,100
opening, and we've got a lot of
people in front of us.

1184
01:10:51,100 --> 01:10:54,000
We got to go through.
All right, Brian, let's flip the

1185
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,200
defense, let's talk a couple
things on that side of Ball.

1186
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:00,800
Let's just go ahead and say it
with their play in the first two

1187
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,500
games.
Dorian strong in Armani Captain

1188
01:11:03,500 --> 01:11:05,400
have absolutely locked down the
ones.

1189
01:11:06,700 --> 01:11:10,500
Yeah, they played well other
than, like, you know, one, one,

1190
01:11:10,500 --> 01:11:15,300
one ball here, they're not a
whole lot to, you know, shake my

1191
01:11:15,300 --> 01:11:20,200
fist at for them Strong's had
some good plays, you had the one

1192
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:23,300
where you got Burnell, that
double move buys a flowers but

1193
01:11:23,300 --> 01:11:27,400
you know who in the ACC, hasn't
at one point Chapman with the

1194
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:31,400
big pick to set us up to really
kind of get BC off their game

1195
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:33,600
early.
So they're locked in there.

1196
01:11:34,500 --> 01:11:36,400
But we did see Bree on.
Murray back from suspension.

1197
01:11:36,500 --> 01:11:40,600
In this week we saw DJ Harvey
gets significantly more run this

1198
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:45,400
week outside and in the nickel
which I think was good because

1199
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:50,600
it gave Harvey more confidence
and it gave strong and Chapman.

1200
01:11:50,700 --> 01:11:53,300
The opportunity to get a blow
and stay fresh for longer into

1201
01:11:53,300 --> 01:11:56,200
the game.
Yeah, absolutely.

1202
01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:00,300
I think that really helped as
the game wore on when Marie and

1203
01:12:00,300 --> 01:12:03,600
Harvey had been in there,
getting those reps getting those

1204
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:11,400
chances, but You know, the one
touchdown that BC scored, it

1205
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:16,000
doesn't look, I think very is
who he is, and I don't think, I

1206
01:12:16,008 --> 01:12:18,800
think he's good for a blow, he's
good situationally.

1207
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,400
But I think the next time there
is a team inside the 30-yard

1208
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:25,200
line, I have a feeling real
Marie won't be on the field.

1209
01:12:26,500 --> 01:12:29,300
Yeah, I mean, you know, we
talked about him struggling with

1210
01:12:29,300 --> 01:12:37,700
you guys with with speed or size
and yet He does a lot better

1211
01:12:37,700 --> 01:12:39,400
when he's able to read and
react.

1212
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:43,600
He doesn't do a great sometimes
when he's asked to, to run with

1213
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:49,900
those guys and I'm looking for
some improvement.

1214
01:12:49,900 --> 01:12:52,500
Because right now, it's mostly
inconsistencies and technique

1215
01:12:52,500 --> 01:12:57,200
and decision-making on his part.
If he can clean some of that up,

1216
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:00,300
he might be a little bit more
reliable but I think he's good

1217
01:13:00,300 --> 01:13:02,900
enough again.
As you said to kind of give

1218
01:13:02,900 --> 01:13:05,100
those key guys, a blow
especially in certain parts of

1219
01:13:05,100 --> 01:13:07,200
the field.
Yeah, It's like he's gonna be a

1220
01:13:07,208 --> 01:13:11,200
between the 30s guy because the
coach down he gave up to Jaden

1221
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:15,400
Williams.
I mean, As soon as you saw the

1222
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:19,500
lineup in the route here and you
knew he was running a fade and

1223
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,500
in something, he never got
around.

1224
01:13:21,500 --> 01:13:24,100
And it was just an easy
TouchDown for Williams.

1225
01:13:24,500 --> 01:13:29,900
So, but again, That's okay.
At least I'm going to go back to

1226
01:13:29,900 --> 01:13:33,500
something prize said know your
weaknesses, now we officially

1227
01:13:33,500 --> 01:13:34,600
know.
That's prions.

1228
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,100
Will you just sit still, the
weakness here to here.

1229
01:13:37,100 --> 01:13:39,900
He's fine though, but it's going
to be like we got a

1230
01:13:39,900 --> 01:13:43,600
situationally, get him in the
beginning of drives.

1231
01:13:45,300 --> 01:13:48,400
So it's going to be such a key
thing there.

1232
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,000
All right.
Brian.

1233
01:13:51,300 --> 01:13:54,800
Let's talk about the D line
because I think if they're in,

1234
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:56,300
we're holding them off till
last.

1235
01:13:56,300 --> 01:14:00,500
Because I think, If there is a
group that has now in multiple

1236
01:14:00,500 --> 01:14:07,100
games at both positions, I think
this group has now become

1237
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:13,400
pleasantly surprising at least
to me at least to me and yeah,

1238
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,700
thank you.
Yeah, I thought this group was

1239
01:14:16,700 --> 01:14:19,100
going to be fine this year.
I thought they were going to

1240
01:14:19,108 --> 01:14:22,100
struggle depth wise but I
thought they would be fine.

1241
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:26,700
Not much more than that.
And they've really been probably

1242
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:31,700
Outside of the linebackers, you
know, playing as well as any

1243
01:14:31,700 --> 01:14:34,700
other group on the defense.
And because we knew that we had

1244
01:14:34,700 --> 01:14:39,000
a veteran, secondary we had a
veteran linebacker Corps and we

1245
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:46,000
had, you know, one vet and then
a one vet at defensive end one

1246
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,700
vetted, the d-tackle room and
then a couple of other young

1247
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:51,500
guys that were riding along.
We weren't really sure, kind of

1248
01:14:51,500 --> 01:14:53,600
what the deal I was going to
look like, we knew we had some

1249
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:57,800
depth concerns at d-tackle
because we only had proven guys

1250
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:02,400
there and you know, they've
stepped up we've gotten some

1251
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:07,100
additional play out of Garbutt,
he played a ton of snaps against

1252
01:15:07,100 --> 01:15:10,500
ODU and then came back and had
the game of his life against can

1253
01:15:10,500 --> 01:15:15,100
see the very next week.
We saw McRae was healthy this

1254
01:15:15,100 --> 01:15:19,500
week, he got some more run.
Look, good looks at least like

1255
01:15:19,500 --> 01:15:24,200
he's going to be able to give us
that second unit for that we

1256
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:27,900
need.
And you know, interior I'm going

1257
01:15:27,900 --> 01:15:30,000
to give a big shout-out to
Wilfred Pinay.

1258
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,700
He's improved significantly said
last year.

1259
01:15:34,300 --> 01:15:37,400
Definitely Shrunk the gap
between him and those like those

1260
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,800
big three that we just talked
about in that room.

1261
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,900
You know, we thought there was
going to be kind of a drop-off,

1262
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:47,600
you know, once you get got past
Kendricks, Pollard and fuga and

1263
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:49,300
there isn't a significant
drop-off there.

1264
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:54,400
Well there's not he's going out
there, you know, obviously got

1265
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,300
to half-sack this week and there
were numerous time you could see

1266
01:15:57,300 --> 01:16:00,600
him being this guy off the snap,
he's gain that weight.

1267
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:04,100
You know he was he was he was
undersized last year and now

1268
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,000
Now, he's getting up into the to
80 range.

1269
01:16:07,100 --> 01:16:09,900
He's an athlete.
Anyway, I know when you look at

1270
01:16:09,907 --> 01:16:13,400
this tape, like kids an athlete,
they got to figure out what to

1271
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:18,100
do with him and I think that's
great to see because now that

1272
01:16:18,100 --> 01:16:21,400
you've got four on that you can
continue to run and we saw that

1273
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,900
Saturday night, man you saw him.
You saw him and Kendricks him

1274
01:16:24,900 --> 01:16:27,400
and who you saw fuga and
Pollard, you saw Pollard and

1275
01:16:27,700 --> 01:16:31,500
Pinette that constant rotation
which I think is something we've

1276
01:16:31,500 --> 01:16:36,300
gotten even more excited about
because It feel like although

1277
01:16:36,300 --> 01:16:39,600
Brent prize, calling the
defense, I think Chris Marv is

1278
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:42,000
handling the rotations.
I do not foresee.

1279
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:48,100
Brent pry, handling both in.
That's a good thing.

1280
01:16:48,100 --> 01:16:56,000
And you mentioned CJ McRae.
The more I see Cole Nelson in, I

1281
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,200
don't think it's next year, I
think next year, he is going to

1282
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,400
be a very good defensive end I
think two years from now.

1283
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:07,000
I think Full Nelson is going to
be special You are you're seeing

1284
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:10,000
the flashes getting the time
this year.

1285
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,500
I think next year, there's going
to be some learning because

1286
01:17:12,500 --> 01:17:15,800
you've got to be the guy.
I think 20 24.

1287
01:17:16,500 --> 01:17:18,400
I think that kids could be
all-acc.

1288
01:17:19,300 --> 01:17:23,000
Just what I'm seeing right now.
We'll see man.

1289
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,200
I mean I like his progress.
I like that, he's taking some

1290
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,400
steps coming into this year
because we needed it, right?

1291
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,600
Like we.
Yeah, we were never said we

1292
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,400
needed somebody else to step up.
I'm glad to see McRae stepping

1293
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:34,800
up.
I'm glad to see him stepping up.

1294
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,000
I think that's going to be play
pay dividends down the road

1295
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,700
because we got a lot of young
guys outside of Garbutt that are

1296
01:17:40,700 --> 01:17:43,500
that are making some plays on
that defensive end position.

1297
01:17:44,500 --> 01:17:47,400
Abso-freakin'-lutely.
All right y'all for making

1298
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,600
prediction let's just go with a
few hokey Keys here.

1299
01:17:51,100 --> 01:17:54,600
I think the first one Brian.
As soon as I seen wolper didn't

1300
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:59,000
score again is we cannot play
down to this opponent.

1301
01:17:59,500 --> 01:18:01,800
We need to force our will upon
them.

1302
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,500
Yeah.
And that's going on both sides.

1303
01:18:05,500 --> 01:18:08,500
I don't think the defense is
going to have a problem making

1304
01:18:08,500 --> 01:18:12,400
plays and keeping them in check.
I need to see some level of

1305
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:16,400
domination from the offense.
And yes you that out the gate.

1306
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,500
Well you won't I think you've
already said you won't 250 on

1307
01:18:19,500 --> 01:18:23,200
the ground.
And I and I think what it is, I

1308
01:18:23,208 --> 01:18:27,300
want at least 250 on the ground.
And then, I mean, I want to get

1309
01:18:27,300 --> 01:18:29,500
the younger, guys, some
experience because I feel like

1310
01:18:29,500 --> 01:18:32,700
that is going to be the biggest
biggest thing this week.

1311
01:18:32,700 --> 01:18:35,100
That's that's key.
Number two is getting young,

1312
01:18:35,100 --> 01:18:38,900
guys experience all over the
field, all of all of the field.

1313
01:18:39,100 --> 01:18:41,400
Every position, the young guys
need to play.

1314
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:45,200
I think specifically, we got to
look at the wide receiver room.

1315
01:18:45,700 --> 01:18:49,600
Yeah, we talked about that in
our in our know thyself.

1316
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:51,600
Get those young guys.
Out there.

1317
01:18:52,300 --> 01:18:54,800
I want to see.
I want to see brown getting some

1318
01:18:54,900 --> 01:18:57,200
some run out there.
I'd like to see Devin get out

1319
01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:01,200
there and get, give it at least
a few couple throws in a few

1320
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:06,500
runs if we can.
Yeah, on the defensive side of

1321
01:19:06,500 --> 01:19:08,600
the ball, get some of the
younger linebackers, some more

1322
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,600
play, get some of the younger
guys.

1323
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,500
In the, the safety room
somewhere play.

1324
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:16,300
What about the inside?
What about, what about the line

1325
01:19:16,300 --> 01:19:19,200
do you think?
I mean, we, I mean, Burgos, and,

1326
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:21,200
who am I missing?
Here.

1327
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,700
Walking on that, think, moist
them moist and I think they've

1328
01:19:26,700 --> 01:19:29,800
got some run already, but I
think we need to look at the

1329
01:19:29,808 --> 01:19:33,900
detangles to because obviously,
you know, after next year, we're

1330
01:19:33,900 --> 01:19:37,800
going to be losing to, I think,
give them run know this.

1331
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:41,800
You haven't got her out there.
Why, why not for this game, why

1332
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,100
not?
Because you still have three

1333
01:19:44,100 --> 01:19:48,100
games where you can, you can
still save the shirt, so I'm

1334
01:19:48,100 --> 01:19:49,900
with you everywhere on that
field.

1335
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:52,100
Yeah.
I mean, you could, you can

1336
01:19:52,100 --> 01:19:55,500
unload the clip in my We should
be up enough where I can unload

1337
01:19:55,500 --> 01:20:00,800
the clip, walk home walk, ons.
All right, I think this is a

1338
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:06,000
real big one and not only to for
the rest of the season or if

1339
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:07,200
this is a big one for the rest
of you.

1340
01:20:07,300 --> 01:20:10,300
We've got to continue to play
clean and when I say clean, I'm

1341
01:20:10,300 --> 01:20:13,900
talking about the penalties.
I know turnovers are going to

1342
01:20:13,900 --> 01:20:15,900
happen.
You know, you hold your hands up

1343
01:20:15,900 --> 01:20:18,800
on that, but I don't want to see
the dumb penalties again.

1344
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,400
I don't want to see the
procedural stuff.

1345
01:20:20,500 --> 01:20:23,000
We cleaned it up.
Let's continue.

1346
01:20:23,100 --> 01:20:26,900
To do that for the rest of the
season because the less tiles we

1347
01:20:26,900 --> 01:20:30,800
shoot ourselves in the foot.
It's going to make it tougher on

1348
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,500
the other team especially if our
defense is still going the way

1349
01:20:33,500 --> 01:20:35,600
it's going.
Yeah.

1350
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:38,300
And I think the big thing is we
don't have to necessarily win

1351
01:20:38,300 --> 01:20:40,100
the turnover battle, but we
can't lose it.

1352
01:20:40,900 --> 01:20:44,500
Yeah, we look at turnovers as
far as the penalties.

1353
01:20:44,500 --> 01:20:49,700
Yeah, we got to keep it around
that, you know, 45 for 25 or 30

1354
01:20:49,700 --> 01:20:56,200
that we had this week versus,
you know, 15 for 110, that's a

1355
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,000
big difference.
You can't give up an entire

1356
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,300
Drive.
Extra the entire drive worth of

1357
01:21:01,300 --> 01:21:06,700
penalties really two drives and
if you look at it in penalties,

1358
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:10,700
compared to the ODU games, so
that's got to be something that

1359
01:21:10,700 --> 01:21:14,100
we keep up with, you know, a pi
here.

1360
01:21:14,100 --> 01:21:17,600
There, you know, ahold sometimes
that happens.

1361
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,800
But we can't get burned by
almost 50 yards, procedure,

1362
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:23,600
open, and penalties like we did
against ODU.

1363
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:26,200
So keep that clean.
Keep that moving.

1364
01:21:26,900 --> 01:21:28,800
And I think we're going to be
onto something, and I'm going to

1365
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:32,200
say the Last one here.
We need some Beamer ball this

1366
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,700
week.
We meet at least one defensive

1367
01:21:34,700 --> 01:21:37,900
respectful team score.
They're going to give us some

1368
01:21:37,900 --> 01:21:42,200
opportunities both in the in the
Special Teams game and with that

1369
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:45,600
offense throwing and putting the
ball on the turf, alright,

1370
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,600
advantage of it, and get the
ball in the end zone.

1371
01:21:47,900 --> 01:21:51,000
I mean, if we play the way we, I
think we can, we have the

1372
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:54,200
potential to put up 14 to 21
just on defense and special

1373
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:57,500
teams alone.
All right, well then, if you're

1374
01:21:57,500 --> 01:22:00,000
thinking that what's your
prediction This game.

1375
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:05,200
My prediction for this game, is
that the Hokies do not sleep,

1376
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:07,400
walk out.
The gate, they are solid on

1377
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:09,700
offense and they are spectacular
on defense.

1378
01:22:09,700 --> 01:22:11,900
It's a forty one to nothing win
for the Hokies.

1379
01:22:12,300 --> 01:22:16,000
All right, I am not poor.
Same exact margin of Victory.

1380
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:19,500
I say Hokies 44.
I say Wofford three.

1381
01:22:19,500 --> 01:22:22,200
I do think they break their
streak and they can average 1.2

1382
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:24,300
game.
But when they get their field

1383
01:22:24,300 --> 01:22:27,600
gold, it's going to be against
the sixth string wall homes in

1384
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:31,700
the fourth quarter after the
first half, when we put 31

1385
01:22:31,700 --> 01:22:34,700
points and basically cruise home
from there.

1386
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,500
So I think big wins.
Do I want to see more?

1387
01:22:37,700 --> 01:22:44,200
Yeah, I'd love to see 60.
I'd love to see 63 7 or 63 but I

1388
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,000
think since we know the
importance of mixing in a lot of

1389
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:52,700
the younger guys, I think we get
up something get-ups, five or

1390
01:22:52,700 --> 01:22:55,100
six touchdowns.
We're going to start getting

1391
01:22:55,100 --> 01:22:58,300
everybody else in absolute freak
and looting.

1392
01:22:58,700 --> 01:23:00,800
All right, Brian.
Let's look at the big screen.

1393
01:23:00,900 --> 01:23:03,600
Wieners this weekend.
A lot of really good games going

1394
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,200
on.
Ranked battle up in Oregon this

1395
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:09,200
week, and I'm going to take it
down south.

1396
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:11,900
I'm going to go down to the
plains of Auburn.

1397
01:23:11,900 --> 01:23:16,300
Where print prize former team
goes on the road to play Auburn

1398
01:23:17,100 --> 01:23:19,200
Auburn has struggled in their
first two games.

1399
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:24,300
They almost lost to San Jose
State at Auburn last weekend.

1400
01:23:24,300 --> 01:23:28,800
I think they want, 2416 Penn
State's going in there laying

1401
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:32,000
three points.
And I think Penn State wins this

1402
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:37,500
game by about ten like 3121
because they're trying to get

1403
01:23:37,500 --> 01:23:40,500
Brian hearts and fire down
there, let him lose.

1404
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:42,900
Let him lose Penn State.
They'll probably go ahead and

1405
01:23:42,900 --> 01:23:45,500
buy them out on Sunday morning.
What about you?

1406
01:23:45,500 --> 01:23:49,900
What's yours?
My big screener is one that has

1407
01:23:50,300 --> 01:23:54,300
a little bit of ACC flavor a
little bit of.

1408
01:23:54,900 --> 01:23:59,700
All right, let's let's pile on.
I've got Miami at Texas A&M.

1409
01:24:00,500 --> 01:24:04,200
Let's keep piling on am, while
the balls are old right here.

1410
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:09,000
So right now am is a five and a
half Point favorite at home.

1411
01:24:09,700 --> 01:24:12,200
Okay, I'm picking Miami in this
one.

1412
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:17,700
I'm not sure if making you, the
quarterback change is going to

1413
01:24:17,700 --> 01:24:19,600
be what is needed.
And we'll see if that's what

1414
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:22,700
that's what happens this week.
But there could, there could be

1415
01:24:22,700 --> 01:24:26,500
another acclimation period
between getting a new signal

1416
01:24:26,500 --> 01:24:28,200
caller in there.
And before this offense is

1417
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:33,200
humming like it needs to to win
and when I look at Miami there,

1418
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:38,500
a better quality opponent than
App State in terms of the talent

1419
01:24:38,500 --> 01:24:45,100
that they have on the field.
So I don't think that I am is

1420
01:24:45,100 --> 01:24:49,000
quite ready for prime time
again, okay?

1421
01:24:49,300 --> 01:24:51,200
Even with the quarterback
change, if that's the route,

1422
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:53,200
they go.
So I think Miami takes care of

1423
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:58,700
business in a close one, but I'm
picking Miami to not only cover,

1424
01:24:58,700 --> 01:25:02,000
but to win the game outright all
righty.

1425
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,900
All right, we'll write those two
down.

1426
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:10,100
Brian, has anything broken in
the last hour?

1427
01:25:10,100 --> 01:25:14,300
And 26 minutes?
I think we're good, man.

1428
01:25:14,500 --> 01:25:18,900
I don't see anything of import.
All right, well that is going to

1429
01:25:18,907 --> 01:25:22,200
wrap up this episode of The
Boundary Corner podcast.
