00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,000
The fields for the dirt.
We don't even grow has been my
2
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,800
more than just cleaning shit
off.

The base Bellas are poking out.
It can ramble mother mold of
5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,700
Steel.

How about you man?
That's too bad.
12
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,700
It's kind of quiet day on the
floor here today so I can't
13
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:13,600
complain, man, you're good
weekend.
14
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,500
Oh no.
Terrible weekend.
15
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,300
My wife was sick.
This week ended.
16
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:25,100
So Was like me you know playing
defense with my two boys all
17
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:29,200
weekend.
Not enjoyable she's feeling
18
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,400
better now, that's good.
Yeah yeah and you know like your
19
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,800
wife both our wives our
teachers, boundary Corner
20
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:43,200
listeners, they're off today so
you know one of those
21
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,900
strategically placed holidays
especially for your wife, coming
22
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:48,600
off the coming up the illness
day.
23
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,300
Exactly and well deserved for
all of our teachers out there.
24
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:56,700
So you know, how about you, you
getting too much this weekend,
25
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,400
man?
It was like there was a quiet
26
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,500
weekend at the sequel household,
though, we did have my mom came
27
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,300
in yesterday, had some lunch and
just hung out for a few hours
28
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:09,699
before they headed back but
yeah, it was kind of quiet,
29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,500
nothing to complain about.
So I'll take it real nice math.
30
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,300
Well, you know just chilling
running back and forth between
31
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:22,700
my Kids, the older one playing a
videogame, the smaller one
32
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:26,900
watching Blaze so much, we go
out.
33
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:31,500
The can Phillips absolutely is
blowing up in the XFL, man.
34
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,800
He is tearing it up.
We had a hat trick of touchdowns
35
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,200
last night from this man first
game.
36
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,900
He was beaten guys deep in this
game.
37
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:43,900
He was the the Red Zone threat.
So he's showing that he can, he
38
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:45,600
can kind of do a little bit of
everything.
39
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,700
He's something like what now?
He's like, what?
40
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,900
Thirteen catches a hundred, you
know, 25 plus yards four
41
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:57,400
touchdowns.
Yeah you know I hope you can
42
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,700
Phillips you know one of those
great players with us had that
43
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:04,800
season in 2017.
We really shine got drafted by
44
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,200
the bills made it there, a
couple of years and then kind of
45
00:03:09,208 --> 00:03:12,200
faded off.
But I'm going to tell you what
46
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,000
I'm seeing, just the way he's
playing.
47
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,600
He's going to get a call in
April.
48
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:20,100
Yeah, he's going to catch on.
Leave her be all the 90-day
49
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:24,000
somewhere and not the naughty
man somewhere and I think, you
50
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
know, we'll see what goes from
there.
51
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000
But you know, I think he's doing
too much in the XFL not to at
52
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,700
least get a phone call in a
whoop for a week or so and
53
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:38,900
somebody's can no doubt.
And you know this is kind of
54
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:43,700
what I'm hoping the XFL can be
like guys like cam who we follow
55
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:47,000
our Hokies, but you seem kind of
like he can do it, but in the
56
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,600
end you seem get drafted, excuse
me.
57
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:52,400
Picked up as a, you know, non
drafted free agent and he sticks
58
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,700
with the team for a couple
years.
59
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:56,000
And it's like, he's one of those
guys that's going to benefit
60
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
from this, because the way I
kind of see the XFL.
61
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,200
It's, it's just a slight Notch
above, most Collegiate football,
62
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,300
but it's not in the realm of the
NFL.
63
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,700
So for guys, like cam, like
Ricky, who's on a team?
64
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,900
It's a chance to say, hey, I can
play for.
65
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:16,500
Give me a couple years to
develop.
66
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:18,600
I've got a good analogy for
what?
67
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,200
Kind of I think the XFL looks
like it.
68
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,200
Kind of looks like an entire
season of what that fourth
69
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:28,800
preseason game is for a lot of
these players where they get
70
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,700
maybe 1/2 two, maybe three
quarters to kind of, kind of
71
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:36,400
show out where now they've got a
whole season in this league to
72
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,700
show what they're capable of and
you're going to start seeing,
73
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,700
you know, you get more tape on
the guy than you might say.
74
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,300
Okay, well, let's give him a
little bit more reps in practice
75
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:47,400
when we bring them into Kansas,
go round, or something like
76
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,100
that.
So, I think those those are with
77
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:51,300
benefits are going to be.
Yeah.
78
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,500
And, and definitely for, you
know, cam Phillips, the Hokie
79
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:57,600
alumni.
He's doing the most with it.
80
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,200
And so, let's see in April, if
he does get signed to a roster,
81
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,400
something on last episode guys,
we missed didn't mean to.
82
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,700
But I think we were, so we
mentioned his name.
83
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:13,100
But we were so deep into
recruiting and portal and the
84
00:05:13,108 --> 00:05:16,400
guys who are going to be here is
Dalton King.
85
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:22,100
Got the combo, Scramble got the
combat invite.
86
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:26,800
Good for him Braun, you know you
can be in the football guy.
87
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,300
It's there a spot for Dalton
Keenan, two days in FL.
88
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,900
Yes, I think there's definitely
going to be a spot for him.
89
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:37,600
I'm not sure if he's going to be
that guy that you're going to
90
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,000
see getting, you know, 80% of
the snaps for a team.
91
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,800
I don't think he's gonna be that
guy at the NFL level, but I
92
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,500
definitely think he's going to
be a contributor.
93
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:50,000
I think he's got some potential.
Shal on special teams even
94
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,700
though he didn't do a ton of
special teams with the Hokies
95
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,600
just his frame is athletic
ability and his ability to block
96
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,300
him face.
I think you're going to see a
97
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:04,000
lot of specialty Mews by him and
I think because of his kind of
98
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:08,000
Versatility as an offensive
player that's going to be a guy
99
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,500
that you want to keep his, maybe
your third or fourth tight end
100
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:14,600
on your roster that can do some
stuff from the HVAC roll on top
101
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,500
of may be contributing on
special teams now, I know
102
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:19,700
people.
We're going to definitely look
103
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:20,300
at what.
Did he run?
104
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:23,700
40 wise, I want to see his
20-yard comb because the one
105
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:27,300
thing if you noticed about
Dalton playing a lot of sudden,
106
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:31,600
a lot of those angle routes.
Yeah, lot of the pot passes, I
107
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,300
think his 20-yard cone is going
to tell something to a lot of
108
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:37,700
teams because I think if it few
runs it well, like I think he is
109
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:40,000
because I think he has some
flexibility in his frame.
110
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,000
I think that's going to tell
people to saying, look how
111
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,600
flexible is he's going to be
that guy.
112
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,600
Like we're running an outside
Zone.
113
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,900
We can put them at that age back
and he can kind Of Swing his way
114
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:52,400
through the garden, The Tackle,
and get to the second level.
115
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,900
That's gonna be the drill.
I think that is going to show
116
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:58,800
for him that if he does well
you're going to see him getting
117
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,700
drafted day three.
Yeah and he's blocking in space
118
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:06,200
was really good as well and I
think that's that's going to be
119
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,700
another thing that we're going
to probably watch at these camps
120
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,600
and watch a lot of tape on him
is his ability to block in Space
121
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,700
is really good.
Definitely I'd say Pop in that
122
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:22,100
area yet.
Definitely not Elite in the in
123
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:26,300
line blocking, but I think as
far as his ability to block in
124
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:31,800
space, either in a lead role, or
split out, and get into the
125
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,900
second level against the
linebacker or safety, he's
126
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:39,200
definitely someone that can
contribute their absolutely one
127
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,800
other thing that Dalton kind of
made a splash within the last
128
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,900
week or so here, I'm going to
read the Tweet out Brian.
129
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:50,900
He made this back on the 7th.
Concerning some people
130
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:53,900
discussing for Wednesday in the
twittersphere and this was D.
131
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:58,600
Cute /, quote went a, is a coach
to demands 100% out of his
132
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,000
players every day.
I don't think that makes it a
133
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
toxic environment at all.
And to be honest, I wouldn't
134
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,500
want to play for a coach that
would settle for less.
135
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:12,000
If you're not 100% in, then get
100% out of the program.
136
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:18,500
You know, I again the -
twittersphere going on and kind
137
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:22,600
of Alton answered.
And guys, like Daris all and
138
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:26,500
some other folks, kind of
replicated and kind of gave him
139
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:28,700
the yep.
That's it guys.
140
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:33,900
So that first blood or First
Blood Part 2 first Blood that's
141
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:36,600
the original.
That's the original.
142
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,799
The cuz you know if he goes he
said his piece and I appreciate
143
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:43,700
that.
I appreciate the players you
144
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:48,600
know, coming in and you know
trying to make put the
145
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:50,000
Programming the light that they
feel it.
146
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,600
It should be in the said of some
of the, the more toxic Corners
147
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,500
that we see in this, in the
twittersphere, and I mean for,
148
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:58,300
there's always going to have a
negative element to it.
149
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:04,100
But yeah, I feel like sometimes
the, you know, we get the loud
150
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:07,800
voices coming from the smallest
percentage and I feel like it's
151
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,700
sometimes nice to have the
players step up and put some of
152
00:09:10,708 --> 00:09:13,000
that to rest.
Absolutely.
153
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And their voices are definitely
going to be the voices that
154
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,300
these recruits can.
More than just fans and other
155
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:27,000
folks in the hook Universe.
Speaking of the Hokey Universe,
156
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,200
kind of a big thing happened in
the RV, a today form a defensive
157
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,600
tackle for the Hokies, Jonathan
Lewis who had five year NFL
158
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,600
career.
He was named defensive
159
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,100
coordinator out at piranha
Verano, who had kind of been
160
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:46,700
down for a year for years.
Thanks to Highland Springs.
161
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,700
Sprung back up, made the state.
Ship game beat Highland Springs
162
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:52,600
on their way.
There lost a Maury.
163
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:58,400
I like this as I mean Louis
played with, you know, Darryl
164
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:05,200
Tapp new defensive line coach
Darryl Tapp so again, people are
165
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,100
talking about, let's cultivate
the 8004 and it's cultivate
166
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:11,200
Virginia.
Now, you got somebody down here,
167
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,500
who is obviously helping build
the program back up.
168
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,800
What's your takes on that?
Braun, it's gonna be nice.
169
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,000
Obviously, having some People
out in the no.4 and especially
170
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,400
at a program like Veronica that
not only has you know some
171
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,300
current high-profile wins but
also has a big-time history of
172
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:33,400
winning in the eighth of for so
I mean, it's going to be nothing
173
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,000
but positive.
I feel so therefore in terms of
174
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
recruiting in general and the
804 in terms of recruiting from,
175
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,900
I hope you perspective in
particular, so I see nothing but
176
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:46,200
good things coming from this.
Especially from a hockey fan
177
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,600
perspective.
Yeah, I mean because you
178
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:51,800
Jonathan out there.
Obviously Sam Rogers took over
179
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,200
Hanover announced a couple
months ago, Lauren Johnson out
180
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,800
of Holland Springs.
All the Thailand Springs now is
181
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,900
to appoint.
They're producing so much
182
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:04,200
talent.
The Hokies have sworn.
183
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,100
It Mystic quite a few of them
but a lot of guys they missed
184
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:11,100
that are going to significantly,
you know, your top 10 program
185
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:12,600
which is where we want to get
to.
186
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:18,300
So, you know, a guys that the
talents here don't be afraid to
187
00:11:18,308 --> 00:11:20,300
get it.
Don't be afraid to use the
188
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:25,800
connections yet me, we got, you
know, if that work at the 757.
189
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,700
And I think, you know, we need
to tap into the data for a
190
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:30,900
little bit more because we did
Miss on a couple guys that were
191
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:33,900
looking for from the Greater
Richmond area and it'd be nice
192
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:37,000
to start start laying some of
them guys, again, absolutely,
193
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,700
and 2021 is a big year, it is
not only Talent Rich down in the
194
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:45,000
757, but it's time.
Rich in 804 just a land rich in
195
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,200
Nova.
This is a big year for Virginia
196
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:51,000
and I know probably in some
future episodes guys were going
197
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,700
to be breaking down.
You know what we're looking
198
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:59,600
like, 20 21 was probably in
state and probably Bryan taking
199
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,200
a look at tape me, taking the
look at positional, like how are
200
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,200
we looking at the bees positions
inside Hokie nation and saying
201
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:10,600
we're going to go after this guy
like because for example, if the
202
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,200
depth chart is absolutely full,
you know what What will make us
203
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,800
lose form, but we're not going
to go head over heels because
204
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,900
you've got a bunch of guys that
can play.
205
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:22,000
It's a tough sell.
Well, you got that in.
206
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,200
You also have with a crop of
talent.
207
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,200
Like the the 2021 town is
looking like both in state and
208
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,600
within our recruiting footprint.
I definitely think that we're
209
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,400
going to go for guys that we
know.
210
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:43,000
We can get a man, we can get
them, get them on the field, you
211
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,900
know, if If not you're one year
to and definitely build up that
212
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,600
not necessarily go after guys
just to stack it one position
213
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,200
just because it's there.
Absolutely I'm something else.
214
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,100
I've noticed really these last
few days the Virginia Tech
215
00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:02,400
football Twitter account has
really I want to say stepped.
216
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:09,300
It's in game up trying to show
culture, show personality.
217
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:11,700
I'm sure.
Braun.
218
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:13,600
Did you?
I'm going to go buy eat Each one
219
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,000
of these, make sure you've seen
them because I have.
220
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,500
Did you see the Fuente girl Dad
drop?
221
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:21,400
Yeah.
That that one, actually.
222
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,200
I'd say impressed me the most
and the thing that aside from
223
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,500
the content, the thing that
stood out to me, the most was
224
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:32,800
how relaxed for what they seem
in that in that video.
225
00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:36,500
And the thing that really struck
me was if you go back and listen
226
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:40,400
to the video, listen to is
accent, his action is thicker in
227
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,900
that video than any pressure.
I've seen any other Media that's
228
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:46,300
been dropped out.
He seemed like he was really
229
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:50,400
just talking the way he talks
and not nothing seemed playing
230
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,900
nothing seemed, you know,
inauthentic so I think that
231
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:57,500
that's going to be that's going
to go a long way with without
232
00:13:57,500 --> 00:14:00,800
any nation in my opinion just
because it seemed relaxed and it
233
00:14:00,808 --> 00:14:04,300
seemed authentic.
Yeah, it did seem 100% authentic
234
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:08,400
talking about his girls there
and talking about being a girl,
235
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,900
dad.
And in talking about the
236
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:13,800
investment in the program he
said it and it made me Reflect
237
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,600
back to Remember, the Titans and
Hayden Panettiere each
238
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,600
character.
Like, I pictured, him walking in
239
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:22,900
and like his oldest daughter,
jumping on him about play and
240
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:26,800
like, okay.
But yeah, I loved it.
241
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:30,400
The other one, the Doug Masters,
Mom.
242
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:36,300
Hey man, if Mom has like
programs, usually that helps and
243
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:42,000
if Mama signing off as it is and
to someone of nesters caliber,
244
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:44,900
dog was a top 10.
Player he had committed to Ohio
245
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:47,800
State.
He had kind of held our visit
246
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,400
kind of in the bag for a while
and because if you kind of hear
247
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,700
that video was he kind of knew
that if I go there, I know
248
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:58,900
what's going to happen and he
waited and he went and it wasn't
249
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,000
long.
He flipped.
250
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,700
And but again, getting that
approval from a parent, again,
251
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,600
kind of reshaping.
This is the culture.
252
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,300
This is what we are loved it.
One of the cool things that just
253
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:15,400
dropped very recently.
Was it looks like they are
254
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,200
putting up the new locker room
stuff.
255
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:27,800
Yes and in the words of
ludicrous I got a got area codes
256
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:31,100
and I love it because it gives
the guys name and where they're
257
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:36,500
from and I think they used Grace
yard at the 804 700.
258
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:41,000
For the 757 James Mitchell fixed
on Gap.
259
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,200
In felt for the 276 and then
Henderson.
260
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:49,100
At the 336 and those are, that's
kind of where Virginia Tech is
261
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:51,600
in the middle of those for area
codes.
262
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:54,600
We did Miss in Northern
Virginia, they are but I'm sure
263
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,400
you can probably see more that
but I like in a like something
264
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,300
like that.
It's kind of showing your here.
265
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:03,800
Now with this is where you came
from.
266
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:09,900
Yeah.
And it's showing that you come
267
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:11,800
from different places.
Once you're here, you're here,
268
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,700
you're hokey or oq for life.
Life.
269
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,200
This is home.
Just it's all about absolutely.
270
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,200
And the last piece, and it's
kind of going to kind of set up
271
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,900
what we're going to be talking
about here today is the about a
272
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:30,700
four to five minute feature.
On the four new coaches here
273
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:37,400
between Tracy claeys, built
turtleneck Ryan Smith who's
274
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,900
younger than us, which makes me
sad and Darryl Tapp who's our
275
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:45,100
age, which yeah that's Cool.
I'll take especially especially
276
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:50,700
meaning Darrell few years ago
again here in those guys talk
277
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:55,800
and I don't know again it just
made you feel good and I know
278
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,100
there's a lot of negativity.
We can you look for optimism and
279
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,600
what really struck me.
Brian.
280
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,500
And it was the way bills
cheering installed, you could
281
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:08,800
kind of hear, it wasn't, it was
very authentic in his voice
282
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,200
about.
Yeah, the NFL something and it's
283
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,700
great, but it's something about
the right place, the right
284
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,099
people and what you're trying to
get to.
285
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:25,099
And to me that says something
because Bill turn, it could get
286
00:17:25,099 --> 00:17:29,800
a job at any NFL team.
He wants, he can his dad's The
287
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,900
Godfather, he is shown that he
can do that and then he came
288
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:37,500
here what else did you get from
that video?
289
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,000
Empty several things.
I'll be I'm glad you pointed out
290
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,100
the chilling piece there.
I mean, he's talking about, you
291
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:47,400
know, it's not just what you're
doing, but who you're doing it
292
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,100
with what you're doing, is what
you're trying to accomplish.
293
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:53,700
So I think that's that's the big
piece for him.
294
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,200
I think just in general it was
great hearing directly from
295
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,600
these new staffers about just
hearing stories about what
296
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,500
they've done before or, you
know, quick right up.
297
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:09,600
So it was good to hear it
directly directly from them, I
298
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,500
think.
Like that.
299
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,700
But like you've been pointing
out is what the fans have kind
300
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:15,200
of been clamoring for a little
bit more.
301
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,600
We don't necessarily need to
know everything that's
302
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,500
happening, but if we can just,
you know, get a little closer,
303
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,600
don't keep us as much at arm's
length.
304
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,800
You know, will definitely
Embrace that a lot more.
305
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,900
So I think that's the big thing.
It seems like everybody's
306
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:33,700
excited to be in the building
and I think, you know, they want
307
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:35,100
to do something want to build
something new with.
308
00:18:35,108 --> 00:18:37,700
They also want to honor the
Traditions that we have that
309
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,600
come before them.
So I think that's big And just
310
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,800
how they all seem to be talking
about jehan's energy and hard
311
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,900
work, and how that kind of was a
big attracting factor for them
312
00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:50,000
and why they're there.
So I think that that's, that's
313
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
the big things.
The big takeaways that I have
314
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:55,900
absolutely.
Well, we've opened up went
315
00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:58,000
through some things for the
remainder of the show.
316
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,500
This is kind of what we're
looking at today.
317
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:03,000
Guys.
We're going to be looking at the
318
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,600
staff itself.
Obviously, yet for new guys, we
319
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,800
just discussed there were some
Al going guys.
320
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,000
Some of those are going guys,
rub people, the wrong way, the
321
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,700
way he let go.
There's some staff changes,
322
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:21,500
clearly John's mooching J Hamm
here, but Madam like them Berg
323
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:23,000
as well.
We're going to discuss that
324
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:25,600
along with these new guys in
that interview.
325
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,200
So before we go any further,
we've got to stop here and we've
326
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,800
got to start with the outgoing
Staff.
327
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,400
All right, so obviously the
biggest outgoing coach is the
328
00:19:39,408 --> 00:19:40,400
legendary.
Gary Bud.
329
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,900
Foster to me the greatest
defensive coordinator in the
330
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:49,800
history of college football.
No doubt, you know it was big
331
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,200
but it was known luckily but
didn't pull anybody strings.
332
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,700
He came out in August in
announced it sort of got the
333
00:19:56,700 --> 00:20:01,100
team and the staff a chance to
hate looks.
334
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,900
This is how we're going to look
in the future and kind of revert
335
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:05,900
back to why the 2020 doesn't
look great?
336
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:09,200
Well, when you don't have a name
defensive coordinator stuff when
337
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,900
going to hurt You know, I don't
know what else to say on bud,
338
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,400
Brian.
You and I were lucky enough.
339
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,000
We were at the pit game.
We were at his last game in Lane
340
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,200
Stadium pitching.
The shutout, the defense that
341
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,900
day.
Played unbelievable.
342
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,000
It was a fun time in the rain.
It wasn't.
343
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,300
It was a fun time.
In the rain.
344
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:30,900
We were at the perfect spot
though.
345
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,700
We were at that.
Right.
346
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:34,500
Out of the rain we would have
been to Rosedale.
347
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:37,200
We would have been soaked.
We are right out of the rain but
348
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,500
I mean but losing Bud hurts.
I mean he'd been on the staff
349
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:45,900
since you know, since we were
like in diapers got the
350
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:50,900
defensive coordinator title back
in the mid-90s and then ran with
351
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:55,600
it for the next 20 plus years.
And I say legendary, I mean
352
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,500
those defenses in the mid-2000s
man if we had any semblance of
353
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:05,800
an offense in 05, 06 or 07.
Yeah.
354
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,800
If we could have just been You
know above average in that
355
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,900
category, you're talking about
some some serious, some serious
356
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,300
winds there and that's on top of
you know having having a run
357
00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:24,000
there that was better than you
know most of the the top 10
358
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,700
programs that were talking about
trying to get back to.
359
00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:30,900
So you know it's it's something
you know, there's some there's
360
00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:33,600
some Coulda woulda's in there
but at the same time you gotta
361
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,100
appreciate what he was able to
do while he was there and just
362
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:40,200
glad that we got to experience.
That Rod pretty much from start
363
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,600
to finish.
Yeah we did our age group.
364
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,600
Definitely did let me throw this
at you.
365
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:51,300
Should he be the leading
individual as to put
366
00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:53,100
coordinators into the College
Football Hall of Fame?
367
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:56,600
There's none in there right now,
but as you remember during the
368
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,700
announcement and people are
like, you've got to put them in
369
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:02,500
there.
He changed the way the game is
370
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:05,100
played, the way people look at
coordinators, you know?
371
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:08,400
There's obviously some other
guys, I feel like I cannot think
372
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,300
of The guy's name, but the like
Switzer's OC, who brought the
373
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:17,500
wishbone to Oklahoma, some of
Bears defensive, those guys
374
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:21,800
deserve to be in there and I'm
hoping with him being younger
375
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,700
guy, you know.
And it's, you know, in his early
376
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:27,900
60s I'm really hoping overall
that they can get the benefit
377
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:29,900
and say, we're going to put
these guys in, we're going to
378
00:22:29,908 --> 00:22:33,300
put a wing for the coordinators
in the position, coaches, who,
379
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,300
you know, had coaches are great.
But if you don't have these guys
380
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:40,300
on certain teams, these You
know, these guys aren't as great
381
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:43,300
as they seem.
And, yeah, there's guys that
382
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:47,600
innovate in the the college
football world that aren't
383
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,900
necessarily guys, that would
make good head, coaches or
384
00:22:50,900 --> 00:22:52,600
interested in becoming head
coaches.
385
00:22:53,100 --> 00:22:56,300
But that doesn't discount how
they impacted the teams.
386
00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:58,900
They were part of because of the
be, they were bringing
387
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,100
innovative ideas to the
Forefront.
388
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:05,600
Now those, those head coaches
were certainly, you know, they
389
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,900
in their wisdom.
They saw, let's Embrace these
390
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,900
new ideas But you know, let's
give some credit to the guys
391
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:15,600
that are either taking what was
already there and building upon
392
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,600
it or kind of coming up with
some of these these schemes
393
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,600
themselves.
So, I think that there's
394
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,800
definitely a wing there that
needs to be dedicated to these
395
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:26,800
these coordinators that they
really change the game in a lot
396
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,600
of ways.
Absolutely.
397
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:31,900
So there's our first big loss
when you about that ahead of
398
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:34,500
time.
The next one and the one that
399
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:38,500
rubbed people the wrong way was
the letter.
400
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:42,800
Go Charlie walls, Charlie.
Who had been with the program?
401
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:49,800
You know, since 96?
So significantly long was
402
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,500
advised, he wasn't going to be
returned.
403
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:55,600
Now, the way conversations go,
he was given the option to coach
404
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,400
the bowl game.
He didn't want to do that.
405
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:04,000
That's his choice.
Give me what your take is on,
406
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Charlie.
I love Charlie.
407
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,400
I thought he always coach guys,
up.
408
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,400
Good, never met him, but why do
you think Charlie was all in?
409
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,900
All that go?
Now, I think the biggest thing
410
00:24:14,900 --> 00:24:17,800
is that, you know, and we'll
talk about this more as we get
411
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,800
to the new defensive staff.
But I think just with a younger
412
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,300
coordinator, I think we were
moving to more of a younger more
413
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:29,600
energetic staff.
I mean, I just think that that
414
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,000
that's that's the direction that
we were heading.
415
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,500
And I think because of that, he
was pretty much kind of put to
416
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:38,000
Charlie.
Hey, we're heading in this
417
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,900
direction.
Do you want to coach in the bowl
418
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:43,400
game to go out with bud?
Or do you want to go ahead and
419
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,600
pack it in and, and call it a
day?
420
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,200
Unfortunately, you know, he
decided he wanted to take that
421
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,100
latter option, which I don't, I
don't begrudge him but I'm sad
422
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:55,700
that that Hokie Nation didn't
get to see him in, but kind of
423
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:58,700
go out at the same time, because
I think I've been pretty special
424
00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:02,800
thing to see agreed and Charlie,
clearly, I think Maybe one
425
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,500
reason he did that was to get a
jump on his next Endeavor, and
426
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:10,700
he is down at NC State now.
So going to be recruiting
427
00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:12,600
against him.
He's got a friend down there
428
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,000
now, too.
Absolutely.
429
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,600
Yeah.
Brian Mitchell.
430
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,100
Quarterbacks coach also, let go
also down at State again.
431
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:24,400
Don't know enough about
Mitchell, but he was let go.
432
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,100
You know, I mean I kind of this
is this is the with what we
433
00:25:29,100 --> 00:25:30,700
ended up seeing.
I think this was definitely a
434
00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:34,900
push to get a guy with Northern
Virginia ties.
435
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:39,700
And you know, in-state born,
born and bred Virginian and
436
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:42,600
house for that position.
I just think that that's, that's
437
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,100
ultimately, what would led to be
Mitch being being let go there?
438
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:50,200
I think we kind of had a couple
ideas in mind and I think both
439
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,500
of them were going to be
Virginia Natives and ultimately,
440
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:55,600
you know, Ryan Smith is who we
ended up.
441
00:25:56,700 --> 00:25:59,200
Getting at the quarterback spot,
but I feel like that's kind of
442
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,700
the direction we were heading.
And that, unfortunately, put
443
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
could be met on the outs there.
Yeah, and again, down at state.
444
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,700
So again, going to be recruited
against him.
445
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:11,800
Last got let go on Zone burdens
on hasn't landed anywhere else
446
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,000
and that's some me and you were
kind of shocked about because,
447
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,900
when he was originally, let go
were, like not shot was a part
448
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:21,700
of the old staff but we were
like, oh, do you Campton
449
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,300
somebody within the first couple
was fourth in the first month of
450
00:26:25,308 --> 00:26:27,100
probably pick him up?
You know, known as a good
451
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:32,000
recruiter but he hasn't so yeah,
that was a big shock to both of
452
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,900
us.
I mean I thought that definitely
453
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:37,200
for sure, one of the seven, five
seven programs were picked him
454
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,600
up.
Whether you know Division, 1 or
455
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,500
Division 1 double a one of those
schools down there was going to
456
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:44,500
was going to scoop him up for at
least two position roll.
457
00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:47,800
If not offensive coordinator
look, and it just didn't come to
458
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,100
fruition.
So it's very interesting how
459
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:52,700
that went on.
So we're going to move onto.
460
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:56,900
Those are the guys out inside
the Graham, there were some
461
00:26:56,900 --> 00:27:00,100
staff changes.
Obviously, the biggest was
462
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:06,000
Justin Hamilton going from the
safeties coach to defensive
463
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,200
coordinator.
Justin 38 years old?
464
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,100
You run, you did a little more
for folks that don't know
465
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:15,900
Justin.
He you know, there's a lot of
466
00:27:15,908 --> 00:27:17,500
stuff in Prime did a little
digging on them.
467
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:22,300
So Brian just kind of what you
found out by researching.
468
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:25,200
All right so I mean we obviously
got to Southwest Virginia.
469
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,800
Native coming in Into the
defensive coordinator role,
470
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,600
which I think is a big thing,
both for the state.
471
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,500
And for the school, there's been
a big Push by both the fan base
472
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:39,700
and alumni to really start.
Looking at Virginia will be
473
00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:42,000
closed and I think this is
definitely a concerted effort to
474
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,700
really get back on that in-state
recruiting wagon and starting
475
00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:50,400
scoring some of those those
bigger bigger fish from the 757,
476
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,300
804 Northern Virginia.
Yeah I think that's the biggest
477
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:58,500
thing that we're talking about.
Just about Justin in general.
478
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:02,600
I mean, any hockey fans going to
know the use of versatile.
479
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:07,500
Use a versatile player, he was a
team first, guy low ego, you
480
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:11,000
know, play three or four
positions, whatever was needed
481
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,100
of him.
He was, he was willing to step
482
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:18,300
in and get it done.
You know, I think again 38.
483
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:20,600
So we're talking about bringing
in a coordinator.
484
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,000
That's going to be young
energetic, but he's got that
485
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
hokey blood in and he's got that
lunch pail.
486
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,600
In him.
So I think you're going to see a
487
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,100
blend of the old.
It was some, maybe some new
488
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:38,200
ideas and some new new ways of
attacking off, that may help us
489
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,500
especially when it comes to
things like containing
490
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:45,300
quarterback runs which have kind
of been the Bugaboo for our
491
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:48,900
defense, despite all of the
successes through in our
492
00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:51,300
history.
So I think we might see some
493
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:56,000
some new things from him that
might try to address that he was
494
00:28:56,100 --> 00:29:01,700
the coordinator UVa-Wise coach
outside linebackers of Emi and
495
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:05,900
then I was to from Virginia Tech
perspective as a member of the
496
00:29:05,908 --> 00:29:08,000
staff.
He's been you had an on-field
497
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,600
and all field presidency at
player Personnel position when
498
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,100
he first came on and now he's
coaching the safeties.
499
00:29:15,500 --> 00:29:19,700
So I mean I think we're really
getting a really big asset for
500
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:22,300
us.
You know, there is some some
501
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,500
fear because of the unknown
because we don't know what he
502
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:27,500
looks like.
Defensive coordinator at the
503
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:32,500
power 5 level.
But in terms of intangibles, in
504
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:36,200
terms of football IQ, and in
terms of just being able to
505
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,700
build relationships with players
and with the community, I don't
506
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:42,000
think there's anybody, that we
could have found better.
507
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:45,600
Yeah, I agree in the football,
like, you is the big piece.
508
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,800
A lot of people, you know, while
we were supposed to get some
509
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,400
million-dollar coordinator yada
yada, but then you kind of talk
510
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,800
and say, you realize this guy
went from playing Running back
511
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,500
to receiver to flipping and
playing safety for two years,
512
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,200
then getting drafted and playing
in the NFL for three years.
513
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,700
Before he hurt his knee, do you
know the amount of intelligence
514
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:08,400
and takes to do that to say oh
yeah you're going to learn this.
515
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,700
Well then you're going to learn
this.
516
00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:11,900
Now we need you to completely do
something different and learn
517
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:15,000
this and become so good at it.
That you go to the highest part
518
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,100
of your profession and I stay
one year, but make it three
519
00:30:18,100 --> 00:30:20,800
years and probably would've been
longer if not for the injury.
520
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:24,000
And when you think of folks like
that in my opinion, that's why
521
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,700
when they named I'm like Is
first of all the Hokey through
522
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:30,600
and through.
But how smart you have to be
523
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,800
run, you play offensive line and
you switch positions.
524
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,100
Occasionally to say, you're not
even switching, you're not even
525
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:40,200
staying in your core group.
You're jumping from this group
526
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,900
and this group and now
completely other side of the
527
00:30:41,908 --> 00:30:44,600
ball in the intelligence.
It takes in the football.
528
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,200
Like you it takes there's going
to be probably things that he
529
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,200
can see that.
Not many players can see because
530
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:53,300
I've done this before.
Yeah.
531
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:57,000
There's always a benefit from
guys that were able to Play both
532
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,500
sides of the ball at a high
level just because I mean as a
533
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:06,500
as an offensive, lineman that
coach defensive tackles, you
534
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:09,200
know, I didn't just coach even
two tackles on technique and
535
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,800
things like that.
I also told him, hey, here's
536
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,600
what the offensive lineman is
going to do.
537
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:17,100
Here's how you can counter that.
Here's how you can negate that.
538
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,800
So, I mean there's bigger degree
of understanding.
539
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,000
There is not just scheme and
knowing where to be and what to
540
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,400
do.
But also, Okay.
541
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,400
Well if they throw this at you
knowing hey what's a good
542
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,800
counter punch.
Exactly.
543
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,900
And there's we think you can
probably see like that.
544
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:37,300
That again not many people have
that same view of.
545
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,000
Yeah, I'm really excited to see
what he's going to do.
546
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,500
I mean I like I said I don't
know at this point what changes
547
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:44,900
are going to look like?
I'm really looking forward to
548
00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:48,800
the spring game to really see
from a scheme perspective, how
549
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,500
much different this calls are
going to be relative to what we
550
00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:55,000
saw from bud.
Absolutely.
551
00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:00,000
Alright.
The second move was Adam like
552
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,900
them Berg was moved from the
associate head.
553
00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:08,600
Coach to the running back coach.
Yeah, I heard about that.
554
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,100
You have some thoughts about
that.
555
00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:12,800
God.
So I'm sitting here and they
556
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,600
would he was hired for the role
last year like, okay.
557
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,400
Okay.
This is going to be your game
558
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,200
manager.
I felt we'd like, we horribly
559
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,900
manage games this year, like, if
this is your job, To help coach
560
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:28,000
for Wednesday with the timeout
situations and down in distance.
561
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:29,900
Oh my god.
There were times just like,
562
00:32:29,900 --> 00:32:32,300
okay, called a timeout.
Why aren't we calling the
563
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:33,900
timeout?
Somebody get in his ear.
564
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:36,100
If that was his job, which you
kind of Wonder?
565
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:38,400
Is that your responsibility as
the ahc?
566
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,100
You know, it was terrible.
Also, we didn't know what his
567
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:46,200
responsibilities was, which is
in the tight-lipped part of the
568
00:32:46,208 --> 00:32:48,300
program, which we hate is like,
what are you doing?
569
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,900
His resume, doesn't in, you
know, excite me.
570
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,300
No, he did play it Nebraska in
the late 90s early 2000s when
571
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:04,700
they were a very good team under
solich but then like he was at
572
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:09,500
it, he was a ga at Wayne State.
He was a G8 TCU during those
573
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:14,200
good years.
That's a ga not a position coach
574
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,900
nothing like that the ga 2010
and 2011.
575
00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:21,100
He was a co-offensive
coordinator at Central
576
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:23,800
Connecticut University couldn't
tell you if that's D3.
577
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,900
Edie to in a.
I so clearly not, you know, one
578
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:34,400
day a or the highest level and
then 2012, he goes to Memphis as
579
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,900
the person will pursue director
of player Personnel much.
580
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:42,200
Like we've got Pearson Prelude,
now doing that for us, he had he
581
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,500
did a lot of stuff in that role
which is great.
582
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,900
Kind of get some different views
and stuff but he was not
583
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:52,800
immediately brought to Virginia
Tech by coach Fuente.
584
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,800
He went to UT And where he was
the passing game, coordinator
585
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,700
wide receiver coach and 16, then
he became the director of player
586
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:05,800
personnel and 17 at Tech.
So, it's just not a to me, not
587
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,800
enthusiastic because I don't
know anything about it and My
588
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:15,500
Hope Is We blow up.
I'm hoping at in December, I get
589
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:18,500
to say, yeah, I was wrong.
This was the best running back
590
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:22,199
group, we've had since David
Wilson but I'm just so scared
591
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,199
because The background.
It's like what is he here for?
592
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,900
Yeah, I mean the biggest
positive that I see out of this
593
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:33,199
right now is that?
I mean here's a here's a food
594
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:39,199
guy, he's been in with went to a
it multiple stops at this point
595
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:42,699
and I think he's a guy that
probably knows what fun things
596
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:47,000
trying to do from an offensive
scheme perspective, maybe even
597
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,500
better than some of the coaches
we've had whether he can relay
598
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:53,800
that information and Coach up
the the player.
599
00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:57,900
The way he needs to is, maybe
the the question mark we have at
600
00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:01,100
this point because, you know,
based on his resume we don't
601
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:05,900
have a lot of big damage to to
Rally behind a success in this
602
00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:09,000
terms of the position itself, he
hasn't really cooked it.
603
00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:13,000
So that that part is a little
disheartening, it is definitely
604
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,600
not something that I'm
enthusiastic about.
605
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,800
I'm I am glad from a recruiting
perspective that we still got
606
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,500
this guy and house because he
seems to do really well on the
607
00:35:21,508 --> 00:35:24,800
recruiting Trail.
So, If you're looking for a
608
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,800
silver lining going back to, I
know we talked about that a lot
609
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:33,400
back in the The Stone spring day
is like, yeah, you can't call
610
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,300
plays but that sumbitch can
recruit good.
611
00:36:00,900 --> 00:36:07,900
Now 24 guys, me and Brian were
both excited about getting
612
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:11,600
hired.
I want to start with Ryan Smith.
613
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,600
The youngest of these for new
hires, I'm trying to do the
614
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,400
math.
I don't think Ryan Smith is 30
615
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:23,100
years old.
He is so young youth, but, um,
616
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:28,400
As I Look to his resume and kind
of the stuff he did, I see him
617
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,000
being young and I compare him to
like him Berg's resume and I
618
00:36:32,008 --> 00:36:35,500
love his just a few things about
Ryan Smith for everybody to
619
00:36:35,500 --> 00:36:39,100
know.
Ryan Smith is a Virginia born
620
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:40,500
and bred Kid.
Born in King.
621
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:47,200
George Virginia went to William
and Mary is a defensive backs.
622
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:52,200
We played under Jimmy laycock,
laycock has a great track record
623
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,100
of his players, becoming
Excellent coaches.
624
00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:59,900
See Mike Tomlin the Pittsburgh
Steelers, see Sean McDermott
625
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,800
with the Buffalo Bills.
He was there for five years, he
626
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,700
graduated in 2014.
Also, he went away in and marry,
627
00:37:10,700 --> 00:37:13,500
you just don't get into even
married to play football.
628
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:16,700
You literally have to be a
scholar athlete to get in there.
629
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:20,900
So, there is a clearly, a very
smart guy.
630
00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:27,900
We have picked up here He
graduated 2014, he went down to
631
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:32,800
University, Texas.
San Antonio, as a ga from there,
632
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:39,200
15 and 16, he was at Penn State.
As a ga 16 was there Rose Bowl
633
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,400
season, one of the best seasons,
they've really had in the last
634
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:47,600
two decades.
I like us going to somebody that
635
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,100
went to Penn getting somebody
who's seen the inner workings of
636
00:37:50,107 --> 00:37:53,600
Penn State especially as much if
they poach from us for the last
637
00:37:53,700 --> 00:38:01,300
S couple of years after 16 2017,
and 2018 under Kirk dignity.
638
00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:05,800
He was down at E Line as their
secondary coach had some very
639
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,300
successful guys, down there a
couple guys to make all CAA
640
00:38:09,300 --> 00:38:15,000
teams.
And in 2019, he actually was a
641
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,600
Walsh NFL fellowship with the
Green Bay Packers.
642
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:22,400
They have those throughout some
of the former coaches on Tech
643
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,900
staff has been part of that.
That's again, exposure to the
644
00:38:25,900 --> 00:38:31,300
NFL exposure to more coaching,
2019.
645
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:35,900
He followed cignetti down to J
mu and clearly, if you follow
646
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:38,200
Commonwealth football or the
state of the Commonwealth
647
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:43,800
football JMU had one hell of a
season National runners-up in
648
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:49,200
the FCS, he was coaching just
the safeties down there, which
649
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,500
might be a concern to some
people but not to me, he had to
650
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:59,400
Two first-team CAA safeties.
The one thing I see with all, if
651
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,800
you look at his numbers, his
defensive backs are aggressive.
652
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,500
One of the safeties have six
interceptions this year.
653
00:39:07,900 --> 00:39:11,600
Nice front, let me ask you this.
I've got a couple more things I
654
00:39:11,607 --> 00:39:14,000
want to talk with him, but let
me ask you this, he played
655
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,300
corner, he coached Corner deal
on but then he flips the
656
00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:20,700
safeties.
We do see this a lot with
657
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:24,000
secondary coaches.
Like, you can coach one Coach
658
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,000
the other and go back.
But what's the primary reason
659
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,600
for that?
Why were you see, guys do that?
660
00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:35,000
I think the big thing that we've
been seeing is our rosters kind
661
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,200
of trending toward that
versatility that guy that can do
662
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,100
a lot of things.
Well so I think that's kind of
663
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:45,500
part of the the philosophy here
but also I think you know,
664
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,700
you're pointing out it is, it
could tell us the story about
665
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:53,200
where J Hamm is heading with his
philosophy.
666
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:59,000
For the secondary getting a guy
that you know, is aggressive in
667
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,800
the secondary, both from
safeties and four corners, I
668
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,600
don't think we're going to see a
change in the velocity or trying
669
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,500
to get these get these guys
about to turn over the ball.
670
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:12,200
So I think that's still going to
be a linchpin of the, the Hokie
671
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,800
defense is forcing turnovers
getting the offense in a good
672
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,000
position to score some points.
Yeah, agreed.
673
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,700
And thanks for that sort of
explanation.
674
00:40:21,300 --> 00:40:23,500
Another thing I read again, I
talked about it.
675
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:26,100
I think this was a huge move for
recruiting.
676
00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:29,900
Being a Virginia guy, not only
for the state.
677
00:40:29,900 --> 00:40:33,700
You know, he's primarily going
to be covering Richmond area and
678
00:40:33,700 --> 00:40:37,600
the 757 but I think just overall
when you put a got this young
679
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,300
old staff, you talk about I
think a lot of relatability to
680
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:46,500
recruits that that has nothing
to help.
681
00:40:46,500 --> 00:40:50,300
We're about to go in the last
five years from one of the
682
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,900
oldest ass in college football
that to now we might Be the
683
00:40:53,900 --> 00:40:57,800
youngest staff in college
football but we're not young
684
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:03,200
when it comes to years of
coaching, and I think the ages
685
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,800
of number, but the coaching
experience is going to be there.
686
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,700
Now, think we're these guys have
been as a key component to
687
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:12,400
because you look at some of the
stops of these guys.
688
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,200
You know, they don't necessarily
have a ton of experience but
689
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:20,100
they've been in behind the doors
of some of these really, really
690
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:22,900
Key Programs.
Some of them, you know, at about
691
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:27,200
the same level Us.
And some of them are programs
692
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,000
that were aspiring towards and
some like JMU or programs that
693
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,500
are in the state but have had
success in a different level of
694
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:35,800
college football.
So I think, you know, that
695
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,800
experience is really, really
important.
696
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,600
Yeah.
Now, one guy that does have the
697
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,700
experience is our new
linebackers, coach Tracy claeys.
698
00:41:46,900 --> 00:41:49,700
Tracy's been coaching over 25
years.
699
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,800
He's a Jerry kill disciple.
Feel like when Jerry killed Came
700
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,900
in last year he sort of helped
back calm the ship after the
701
00:41:56,900 --> 00:41:59,500
Duke game could have shown a
good direction.
702
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,400
Tracy's been a defensive
coordinator over. 20 years
703
00:42:04,100 --> 00:42:07,600
primarily you take a look at all
the stops running for three
704
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,700
scheme.
So kind of fits kind of tells us
705
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:14,800
that we're probably not going to
be changing our base defense too
706
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,000
much.
When you see that, I don't think
707
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000
you bring in a linebackers coach
with the 43 scheme.
708
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,500
That's his background for 20
plus years and say oh we're
709
00:42:23,500 --> 00:42:24,800
going.
Switch to a 34.
710
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:27,500
Yeah, but we're not gonna see
that now go see that.
711
00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:31,200
But, but, you know, crazy to me
is, is really big.
712
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,600
If you just kind of look at what
he's did throughout his career,
713
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,700
I'm going to start in really the
last couple decades, 2004 with
714
00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:41,600
Jerry at Southern Illinois.
They led the FCS in scoring
715
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:47,200
defense at 13.2 few years later
in 07, they were Nessie SMI.
716
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:52,600
Team semi-final team with
another top. 10 defense from
717
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,400
there, he followed.
Jerry killed in Northern
718
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,900
Illinois, is again where they
had success, you know, in their
719
00:42:59,900 --> 00:43:05,300
2010 team which was their last
year at Northern Illinois, him
720
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:08,700
as a defensive coordinator, they
ranked 14th in Total Defense.
721
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,000
That ain't shabby, no.
You're not playing the best
722
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,200
competition in the Mac but not
shabby.
723
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:17,700
From there, they took over the
Minnesota program.
724
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,200
First year, I'm gonna kind of do
a rundown just to kind of show
725
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,500
you where you got that program
is now Minnesota.
726
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:25,900
They're not getting the
recruits.
727
00:43:25,900 --> 00:43:28,800
We are we're, we're recruiting
somewhere between 30 and 20
728
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,300
primarily Minnesota is more of
that.
729
00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:37,700
What I'm seeing that when Keel
was there, that mid-50s to Mid
730
00:43:37,700 --> 00:43:42,000
40's range, so we're getting
more profile, more higher rate,
731
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,900
guys.
But this is kind of what he did.
732
00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:47,100
They were their first year and
1193 ranked defense.
733
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:50,700
Then the next year, forty third
ranked defense.
734
00:43:51,300 --> 00:43:58,900
Then the 24th ranked defense
3443 and then 21.
735
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:05,800
So less Talent better conference
better competition, not playing
736
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,200
not having to terrible of Total
Defense numbers.
737
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:13,900
What do you think?
I mean, do you feel the same
738
00:44:13,900 --> 00:44:17,500
without you feel some?
It's some hidden stuff in there,
739
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:19,400
Brian.
I mean, I think I think those
740
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,400
are good numbers to throw out
there and I think, also, the
741
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,300
thing to consider is that I
didn't Get the offensive
742
00:44:24,300 --> 00:44:27,100
numbers, but I don't think that
in my recollection that
743
00:44:27,100 --> 00:44:32,400
Minnesota was out there, putting
up, 40 points a game so that
744
00:44:32,700 --> 00:44:34,900
those defensive numbers stand
for something because you're
745
00:44:34,900 --> 00:44:39,800
playing the Ohio, State's and
the Penn State's in that, in
746
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,000
that time frame, that were
putting up some per some pretty
747
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,500
serious points.
And that, and still able to put
748
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:50,900
out those numbers with that more
middle tier recruiting talent
749
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,400
that definitely speaks to him
being able to coach.
750
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,900
Those guys up and get the most
out of the town that he has on
751
00:44:56,900 --> 00:44:59,400
the roster.
So I think you know I don't
752
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,200
think there's any really - to to
speak up in their biggest things
753
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,900
going to be as Kenny translate
that into what J Hamm is trying
754
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:08,100
to do greed.
Now I'm going to throw one more
755
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:12,600
stat out here, 2018, with Wazoo
under Mike Leach.
756
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,000
He had his best defense.
They were the number four total
757
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,200
ranked defense in the country.
That was the year.
758
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,800
I am pretty sure that if they
had not been on a snow Laden
759
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,500
field and Pullman Probably could
have beat Washington and went to
760
00:45:25,500 --> 00:45:29,700
the Rose Bowl, but unfortunately
you're on the Air Raid Offense
761
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:33,000
and you're playing this so bad
things happen, and it did that
762
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,500
day.
Yep.
763
00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:40,300
Now, thanks did kind of in sour
for him at Wazoo in 2019 that
764
00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:42,900
the defense completely
struggled.
765
00:45:43,700 --> 00:45:46,300
But you doing some research, it
looks like there had been a
766
00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:51,300
significant riff with one of
Mike Leach has long time
767
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:55,000
defensive back coach has Read
some articles from Pullman.
768
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,800
Looks like this guy was very
vocal about things and kind of
769
00:45:58,808 --> 00:46:00,600
Tracy.
Look like he was just kind of
770
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,700
sick of it and just kind of
wrote his resignation, laid it
771
00:46:03,700 --> 00:46:09,300
on his desk and left and it kind
of also spoke to Tracy's
772
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:12,500
personality.
That this guy was more outgoing
773
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,100
louder.
Where Tracy is more was more of
774
00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:21,600
a reserved guy in for a new
defensive coordinator.
775
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,700
Having a guy who with
significant success coming in
776
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,300
and you care about like what the
other guy did it almost sounds
777
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:31,000
like this is going to be a good
role for Tracy.
778
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,700
He doesn't have to be the vocal
guy.
779
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:36,900
He can be quiet, he can be
reserved in the way.
780
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:42,200
I really feel like what's going
to happen is I think Tracy is
781
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,200
going to become the sounding
board for J Hamm.
782
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,000
I think you're going to probably
hear stories about after games
783
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,800
looking at tape as they're
evaluating guys.
784
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,800
Jenkins.
Let me go into him for things.
785
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,400
Gout, this much experience.
Why wouldn't you?
786
00:46:56,500 --> 00:46:58,000
He's going to have Bud there
too?
787
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,800
Yep, you can have a plethora of
experience to go after.
788
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:06,100
And again hearing about traci's
personality, think he's that
789
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:09,700
right type of significantly
older guy to be on staff.
790
00:47:09,700 --> 00:47:11,700
He's not boisterous, he's not
loud.
791
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,600
He's the other way and where you
see Jay, him, full of energy and
792
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,600
excitement, probably going to be
able to rein him in sometimes,
793
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,500
like pull back a little bit,
man, but I really I like to
794
00:47:21,508 --> 00:47:25,600
Tracy claeys higher concerning.
This new staff.
795
00:47:26,300 --> 00:47:29,300
Yeah, I think it's going to be
really good for us, long term.
796
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:31,600
It's like you said, sounding
board for J Hamm.
797
00:47:31,900 --> 00:47:36,200
A guy that has has the knowledge
has the experience but also
798
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:41,500
isn't necessarily somebody that
is looking to pad their resume
799
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:44,000
at this point of their career.
So I think he's a guy that's
800
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,100
going to be a big asset to J
Hamm.
801
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:51,900
As he kind of gets more,
acclimated to - it's of
802
00:47:51,900 --> 00:47:54,600
coordinator at this level of
college football because he's
803
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,200
got you nobody can lean on and
tracing that you can lean on
804
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,400
when he when he gets into a
situation where you know, he may
805
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,900
not quite be out of this depth a
little bit as being, you know,
806
00:48:05,900 --> 00:48:07,500
first time coordinator at this
level.
807
00:48:07,500 --> 00:48:09,800
So I think you know, nothing but
good things there.
808
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,200
So Brian, when we're breaking
this down, you've got the
809
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,400
opportunity to look at the two
hires that were definitely for
810
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,200
Hokie Nation more.
Exciting TNT.
811
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,200
And see.
Let's start built are on Nick,
812
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,200
go.
All right, so you got to hook
813
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,600
you fan and a cult fan talking
battle, former cult see,
814
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,100
ffensive assistant, whose father
was the Godfather of demons
815
00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:41,600
arrived and had some of the best
defensive line output that the
816
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,300
Colts have ever had.
So this is right in my
817
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:46,500
wheelhouse.
I'm ready to talk about is let's
818
00:48:46,500 --> 00:48:50,000
do this.
Alright, so he'll tear links so
819
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:55,000
big thing for him.
Pretty much been in 4-3 defense
820
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,800
has for the majority of his
career.
821
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,500
So again as we were talking as
you talk with Tracy, I don't see
822
00:49:02,500 --> 00:49:06,000
us changing not naughty dramatic
changes to scheme.
823
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,900
I think it's going to be more
subtle as far as
824
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:12,000
responsibilities the amount of
time we Blitz.
825
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,900
And then what what some of the
some of the calls are going to
826
00:49:15,908 --> 00:49:18,600
be I think that's going to be
where you see the biggest change
827
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,400
and not any sort of wholesale
Flipping of defensive
828
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,200
philosophies I think we're still
going to go with a one Gap
829
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,700
technique on defense because
what what bills worked in has
830
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:34,700
been primarily that one Gap
defensive technique.
831
00:49:34,900 --> 00:49:38,300
He wants your lawn your give us
a while to get upfield disrupt.
832
00:49:38,300 --> 00:49:41,100
The running backs angle spill
them to the other Defenders that
833
00:49:41,100 --> 00:49:44,600
can make the tackle and you want
to create pressure on pat on
834
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,800
the, on the passing downs and
get that quarterback releasing
835
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,400
the ball before he's ready to
this guy's had some Success in
836
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,100
his career.
Obviously I mentioned being a
837
00:49:55,107 --> 00:49:57,700
defensive assistant for the
Colts when his dad was the
838
00:49:57,707 --> 00:50:02,500
defensive line coach you know
from there I ended up with the
839
00:50:02,500 --> 00:50:06,900
the bills working as a defensive
assistant with Mike waffle.
840
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,500
Another another one of the
another god father of the modern
841
00:50:11,500 --> 00:50:13,200
defense who loved one get
technique.
842
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,400
So yeah.
So yeah like waffles the
843
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,100
defensive line coach that was
with the Giants the year the
844
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,700
They took down the undefeated
Patriots in the Super Bowl.
845
00:50:23,700 --> 00:50:26,400
So this guy knows how to get
defensive lineman up, feeling,
846
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,200
get pressure even against teams
that have really good offensive
847
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,300
lines, like the Patriots did
that year.
848
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:36,200
So, That's that's some of the
stops he's been on, but I think
849
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,400
the biggest thing for him is
that he did work as an assistant
850
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,200
defensive line coach with Mike
waffles.
851
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,900
So in the scenario that we have
now with, with Darryl, Tapp
852
00:50:44,900 --> 00:50:48,000
working with him on the, on the
defensive line.
853
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:52,500
I think he kind of appreciates
the dynamic of having two guys
854
00:50:52,500 --> 00:50:55,600
working in that role and you
know what, his role can be and
855
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,700
what he can do to, you know,
help Darrell grow in that role
856
00:50:58,700 --> 00:51:03,200
as well as far as what we can
expect to see from the defensive
857
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,200
line.
I mean, We're going to be I
858
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:09,000
think more aggressive at the
offensive line, getting up field
859
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,900
getting in those in those gaps
and then disrupting things
860
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:17,300
hopefully that doesn't come in a
detriment to to the running game
861
00:51:17,900 --> 00:51:21,100
just because you can sometimes
create bigger gaps and it's
862
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:25,700
going to be important for
linebackers to be able to make
863
00:51:25,700 --> 00:51:29,300
those tackles in open space.
When those gaps, do get bigger
864
00:51:29,300 --> 00:51:33,000
as a result of getting up feel.
But I think it's going to put a
865
00:51:33,008 --> 00:51:36,200
lot more pressure.
Iran on quarterbacks to make
866
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,800
faster decisions and that's
where the aggressiveness at the
867
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,000
secondary level that you were
talking about.
868
00:51:42,500 --> 00:51:45,300
With Ryan, Smith comes into play
and get those turnovers.
869
00:51:45,700 --> 00:51:48,000
Let me ask this Braun from the
tape.
870
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,600
You looked at, you know,
there's, there's a difference
871
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,800
between having to write for any
and Mathis and Lawson, but just
872
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,300
by looking at it, are you
skiing?
873
00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:59,700
We're okay.
Sometimes he depending on the
874
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:01,100
players.
But there were some times, he
875
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:04,500
was doing things skiing wise,
where it was like There's going
876
00:52:04,500 --> 00:52:08,100
to be offensive lines, not ready
for some of those different
877
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,100
looks and the way he, you know,
Slants and stunts like things,
878
00:52:12,100 --> 00:52:14,800
like, they're not going to be
prepared for On Any Given
879
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,600
Saturday.
Well, I think the biggest thing
880
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,400
that and what the bills were
doing is that they did a lot of
881
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:27,900
show and bail which really makes
offensive linemen frustrated,
882
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:30,900
you don't.
So yeah.
883
00:52:30,900 --> 00:52:33,800
So so you know you got a guy
showing Blitz and they'll bail
884
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,500
out The dolphins of lime in the
center, probably more than
885
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:38,600
likely has already made a some
sort of check.
886
00:52:38,900 --> 00:52:44,000
And now, now somebody doesn't
have a got a block because the
887
00:52:44,300 --> 00:52:47,000
Blitz the blister that was
showing his bailed out now where
888
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,400
that comes into big-time plays
when a blitz is called.
889
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,500
But not from the guy showing.
So now you've got an offensive
890
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:55,000
lineman.
That was expected to pick up a
891
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,200
blitz.
That's not coming.
892
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,300
But now he's also the odd, man
that has to find where that
893
00:53:00,300 --> 00:53:04,500
Blitz is coming from and get
there and that Dates, a lot of
894
00:53:04,500 --> 00:53:06,200
the problems.
That's why you go from, have a,
895
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,800
have a guy running free because
you got alignment that's waiting
896
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:13,000
on a, on an a gap Blitz.
And now this Center has to get
897
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,800
outside and get to the outside
linebacker that ended up being
898
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:21,300
the guy that's blitzing, who do
you think on the team right now?
899
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:26,600
And I'll, and I'll put it at the
defensive line primarily.
900
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:28,800
Who do you think?
Are we going to see the biggest
901
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,300
growth next year with just
having Carol, Nick?
902
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,600
And His defensive line coach, I
think you're going to see a lot
903
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,800
more disruption from the
defensive.
904
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:44,400
Tackles I think with the
rotation that we have now and
905
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,800
with some of the younger guys,
getting another year in the way
906
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,700
around.
When we started started a couple
907
00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:54,400
guys, right out the gate that
hadn't really been in the weight
908
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,400
room hadn't, been a part of our
program and they were
909
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:02,700
contributing significant snaps.
So I think, you know, I think
910
00:54:02,900 --> 00:54:08,400
like, I like, Like food is good
is going to really benefit from
911
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,300
this from this new scheme
because he's a guy that has had
912
00:54:11,300 --> 00:54:14,700
some size on them already, but
he's athletic and he can get up
913
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:18,600
field and disrupt those running
plays and still get after the
914
00:54:18,700 --> 00:54:21,000
quarterback as well.
So I think you might see him,
915
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,300
get some more rotation this
year.
916
00:54:23,300 --> 00:54:26,000
On top of the fact these you
know Heather had a year in the
917
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:30,600
weight room with us but the just
his build and his his ability to
918
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,700
get get into the backfield is
going to, I think pay dividends
919
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,500
With What feelings trying to do.
Nice.
920
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:39,600
All right, we're going to move
on.
921
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:44,300
And obviously, the last guy
we're going to talk about.
922
00:54:45,100 --> 00:54:49,100
It's Darryl Tapp and he needs
really no introduction to Hokie
923
00:54:49,100 --> 00:54:50,300
Nation.
But I'm going to give him one
924
00:54:50,300 --> 00:54:53,800
anyway, he shouldn't if you've
been a fan for any significant
925
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,200
bill that you don't know.
Darryl Tapp is, I question your
926
00:54:57,207 --> 00:55:00,500
fan of the Hokie Nation.
I'm sitting in my office right
927
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:02,400
now.
I've got a son Darryl Darryl,
928
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,500
Tapp pendants.
Behind me.
929
00:55:04,500 --> 00:55:09,900
So I'm a big Darryl, Tapp
believer right here so you know
930
00:55:09,900 --> 00:55:12,700
we're talking to Tom all-acc
first team.
931
00:55:12,700 --> 00:55:18,100
ER drafted in 2006 12-year NFL
career with six different teams,
932
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:23,300
definition of lunch pail
mentality, hard hat mentality
933
00:55:23,700 --> 00:55:25,500
said you're not going to outwork
me.
934
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:27,000
I'm going to keep this lunch
pail.
935
00:55:27,300 --> 00:55:29,000
The whole year.
You're not going to work.
936
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,400
You never gave it up.
We joke with him about that and
937
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:38,200
he was like, yeah it was mine.
I kept the lunch pail when he
938
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,100
got drafted.
I mean this guy can do it all
939
00:55:41,100 --> 00:55:46,300
and I mean, doing my research, I
was looking so me and him share
940
00:55:46,300 --> 00:55:49,900
one thing in common, at least
part of the 600 back squats.
941
00:55:49,900 --> 00:55:53,300
Love these 660.
I got 600.
942
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:58,100
So we're both in the 600 class.
We got asked out to celebrate
943
00:55:58,100 --> 00:56:00,000
that on big squat Friday.
Absolutely.
944
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:04,900
We have to but I mean from a On
the field perspective.
945
00:56:04,900 --> 00:56:07,500
And from a recruiting
perspective on the field, I
946
00:56:07,500 --> 00:56:09,700
think what he's going to bring
his, he's going to challenge
947
00:56:09,700 --> 00:56:14,300
these kids to work harder and I
think his pedigree is not just
948
00:56:14,300 --> 00:56:16,200
words.
He's shown it on the field, he's
949
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:20,200
shown it in practice, he's shown
it with with, with the lunch
950
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,300
pail, this guy's not going to
get out worked and I think
951
00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:26,100
that's going to inspire the kids
in terms of how hard they work
952
00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:28,900
both in the weight room and on
the field you know, to never
953
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:30,300
quit.
So I think that's that's the
954
00:56:30,300 --> 00:56:33,600
biggest thing out the gate that
he's going to provide for man on
955
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,900
the field.
Perspective, is that extra
956
00:56:35,900 --> 00:56:38,200
motivation to get more out of
these guys?
957
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,800
And they think they can really
get out of themselves from a
958
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,600
recruiting standpoint.
I mean, he's ruled it does, it
959
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,800
doesn't get much better.
I mean, you've got a guy came
960
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:54,100
from the 757 was a Hopi Legend
been in the NFL and now he's
961
00:56:54,100 --> 00:56:57,300
talking to guys from where he
grew up and saying, hey, you can
962
00:56:57,300 --> 00:56:58,900
be like me.
Let's go do this.
963
00:56:59,700 --> 00:57:03,300
Absolutely, and indeed it is
it's any school he walks in
964
00:57:03,300 --> 00:57:05,600
down.
They're the credibility's there
965
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:11,500
again, all-acc All-American
drafted, 12 years in the NFL so
966
00:57:11,500 --> 00:57:15,000
much of that stuff.
You know what can what can you
967
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,600
know some coach say like well I
don't think you should go there
968
00:57:17,900 --> 00:57:21,500
the kid would side.
I look him but this is a unique
969
00:57:21,500 --> 00:57:26,100
perspective for you because you
when you played in college you
970
00:57:26,100 --> 00:57:29,900
kind of are going to be in the
you were kind of in the same
971
00:57:29,900 --> 00:57:32,900
shoes as the defensive line kids
who are this year.
972
00:57:33,900 --> 00:57:38,000
Is because of your go ahead,
explain who you had because mean
973
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,000
in an NFL got hit it guys.
Yes.
974
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,200
Well, Championship.
Coming with the difference is
975
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,900
when a guy like that is talking
to you, so I'll paint you a
976
00:57:46,908 --> 00:57:49,700
picture here.
So I'm makes the last game of my
977
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:53,800
senior year, I tear up my ankle
for five months.
978
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:58,100
Recovery at that point.
I was, you know, maybe hoping
979
00:57:58,100 --> 00:58:02,400
and hoping to get a school like
J mu or we were married to say,
980
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,000
hey, come walk on for us.
Us.
981
00:58:04,500 --> 00:58:06,900
So I was pretty much at that
point thinking.
982
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,100
Yeah, I'm probably not going to
play football anymore, you know,
983
00:58:10,100 --> 00:58:12,100
I was getting a lot of calls
from division, three schools,
984
00:58:12,100 --> 00:58:14,200
but I just wasn't quite sure
that that was going to be a good
985
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,000
choice for me.
But ultimately I got a note from
986
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,400
Keith conlon, it's coach for
hand and Sydney's coaching
987
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,400
offensive line.
Come to find out.
988
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,500
That keep conlon was a
offensive, lineman for Penn
989
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:32,200
State and won a national
championship with Joe Papp and
990
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:38,700
was drafted by the Colts and
then played for the Saskatchewan
991
00:58:38,700 --> 00:58:41,100
Roughriders for a couple years
before getting back into the
992
00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:44,100
coaching ranks.
So that kind of that kind of
993
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,200
spoke to me a little I was like,
okay, well we got we got a guy
994
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:51,200
with that's been on that journey
and he's working with this coach
995
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,200
at him and Sydney trying to
build something that's got to
996
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:55,600
spend, that's got to count for
something.
997
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,700
So, you know that guy be in the
building and just talking with
998
00:58:58,700 --> 00:59:02,600
him and talking with his journey
and talk about what, what coach
999
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,200
Marty fabric was trying to do.
With him and Sydney that that
1000
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,800
sold me and I ended up playing
the hand and Sydney.
1001
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,800
So You know, I was at a point
where I wasn't sure if I was
1002
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,000
ever going to lay some up again
and all of a sudden you know get
1003
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,700
get another good three seasons
playing the games I love because
1004
00:59:19,700 --> 00:59:23,400
of a guy like him and I think
Darryl Tapp is going to have a
1005
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,700
similar type influence on some
of the kids that that he's going
1006
00:59:26,700 --> 00:59:29,500
to talk to you both in the 757
and really any recruits and he's
1007
00:59:29,500 --> 00:59:32,000
going to talk to on the road.
Very nice.
1008
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:37,700
So we're going to be putting out
a Twitter poll guys and what
1009
00:59:37,700 --> 00:59:41,000
it's going to say is which of
these You coaches Ron Smith,
1010
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:46,600
Tracy claeys built tunic or
Darryl Tapp we see impact game.
1011
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,700
One the most my votes going to
be for Ryan Smith.
1012
00:59:50,500 --> 00:59:55,800
I think a having to remain
waller or Mighty Chapman, Halo
1013
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,800
Farley to a lesser extent tamari
Connor.
1014
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:04,400
He's going in there with proven
guys and I think guys, he can
1015
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,800
immediately say I trust from day
one.
1016
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,700
I think that's my vote and I
will Vote on there.
1017
01:00:09,700 --> 01:00:11,200
Of course.
What about you Ron?
1018
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,900
I'm gonna go with out the gate
as far as on the field.
1019
01:00:14,900 --> 01:00:18,000
I'm going to go build your link.
I think what he's going to bring
1020
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000
to the table of getting those
guys ready and just from a
1021
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,500
technique and skiing
perspective, I think you're
1022
01:00:23,508 --> 01:00:26,000
going to see a lot more
disruption in the backfield
1023
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:27,900
Scott.
I think you're going to see
1024
01:00:27,900 --> 01:00:29,800
sacks go up and that's a direct
correlation.
1025
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,000
You're going to see turnovers,
go up whether we're talking
1026
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,200
strips Acts or whether we're
talking interceptions, because
1027
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,200
quarterbacks are letting the
ball loose before they're ready
1028
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,600
to make the right decision.
Great buy, anything else?
1029
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,200
We need to tie up on today's
episode.
1030
01:00:45,300 --> 01:00:46,900
Not real.
I think we're good.
1031
01:00:46,900 --> 01:00:49,600

more than just cleaning shit

You'll stay cool.
This house is falling down.
4
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,000
The base Bellas are poking out.
It can ramble mother mold of
5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,700
Steel.
This stuck in a trap.
6
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:53,800

You know, working having a
10
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,200
typical beginning of the week
stuff man.
11
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,400
How about you man?
That's too bad.
12
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,700
It's kind of quiet day on the
floor here today so I can't
13
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:13,600
complain, man, you're good
weekend.
14
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,500
Oh no.
Terrible weekend.
15
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,300
My wife was sick.
This week ended.
16
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:25,100
So Was like me you know playing
defense with my two boys all
17
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:29,200
weekend.
Not enjoyable she's feeling
18
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,400
better now, that's good.
Yeah yeah and you know like your
19
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,800
wife both our wives our
teachers, boundary Corner
20
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:43,200
listeners, they're off today so
you know one of those
21
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,900
strategically placed holidays
especially for your wife, coming
22
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:48,600
off the coming up the illness
day.
23
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,300
Exactly and well deserved for
all of our teachers out there.
24
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:56,700
So you know, how about you, you
getting too much this weekend,
25
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,400
man?
It was like there was a quiet
26
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,500
weekend at the sequel household,
though, we did have my mom came
27
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,300
in yesterday, had some lunch and
just hung out for a few hours
28
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:09,699
before they headed back but
yeah, it was kind of quiet,
29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,500
nothing to complain about.
So I'll take it real nice math.
30
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,300
Well, you know just chilling
running back and forth between
31
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:22,700
my Kids, the older one playing a
videogame, the smaller one
32
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:26,900
watching Blaze so much, we go
out.
33
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:31,500
The can Phillips absolutely is
blowing up in the XFL, man.
34
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,800
He is tearing it up.
We had a hat trick of touchdowns
35
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,200
last night from this man first
game.
36
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,900
He was beaten guys deep in this
game.
37
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:43,900
He was the the Red Zone threat.
So he's showing that he can, he
38
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:45,600
can kind of do a little bit of
everything.
39
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,700
He's something like what now?
He's like, what?
40
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,900
Thirteen catches a hundred, you
know, 25 plus yards four
41
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:57,400
touchdowns.
Yeah you know I hope you can
42
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,700
Phillips you know one of those
great players with us had that
43
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:04,800
season in 2017.
We really shine got drafted by
44
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,200
the bills made it there, a
couple of years and then kind of
45
00:03:09,208 --> 00:03:12,200
faded off.
But I'm going to tell you what
46
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,000
I'm seeing, just the way he's
playing.
47
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,600
He's going to get a call in
April.
48
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:20,100
Yeah, he's going to catch on.
Leave her be all the 90-day
49
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:24,000
somewhere and not the naughty
man somewhere and I think, you
50
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
know, we'll see what goes from
there.
51
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000
But you know, I think he's doing
too much in the XFL not to at
52
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,700
least get a phone call in a
whoop for a week or so and
53
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:38,900
somebody's can no doubt.
And you know this is kind of
54
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:43,700
what I'm hoping the XFL can be
like guys like cam who we follow
55
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:47,000
our Hokies, but you seem kind of
like he can do it, but in the
56
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,600
end you seem get drafted, excuse
me.
57
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:52,400
Picked up as a, you know, non
drafted free agent and he sticks
58
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,700
with the team for a couple
years.
59
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:56,000
And it's like, he's one of those
guys that's going to benefit
60
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
from this, because the way I
kind of see the XFL.
61
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,200
It's, it's just a slight Notch
above, most Collegiate football,
62
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,300
but it's not in the realm of the
NFL.
63
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,700
So for guys, like cam, like
Ricky, who's on a team?
64
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,900
It's a chance to say, hey, I can
play for.
65
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:16,500
Give me a couple years to
develop.
66
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:18,600
I've got a good analogy for
what?
67
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,200
Kind of I think the XFL looks
like it.
68
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,200
Kind of looks like an entire
season of what that fourth
69
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:28,800
preseason game is for a lot of
these players where they get
70
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,700
maybe 1/2 two, maybe three
quarters to kind of, kind of
71
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:36,400
show out where now they've got a
whole season in this league to
72
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,700
show what they're capable of and
you're going to start seeing,
73
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,700
you know, you get more tape on
the guy than you might say.
74
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,300
Okay, well, let's give him a
little bit more reps in practice
75
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:47,400
when we bring them into Kansas,
go round, or something like
76
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,100
that.
So, I think those those are with
77
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:51,300
benefits are going to be.
Yeah.
78
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,500
And, and definitely for, you
know, cam Phillips, the Hokie
79
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:57,600
alumni.
He's doing the most with it.
80
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,200
And so, let's see in April, if
he does get signed to a roster,
81
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,400
something on last episode guys,
we missed didn't mean to.
82
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,700
But I think we were, so we
mentioned his name.
83
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:13,100
But we were so deep into
recruiting and portal and the
84
00:05:13,108 --> 00:05:16,400
guys who are going to be here is
Dalton King.
85
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:22,100
Got the combo, Scramble got the
combat invite.
86
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:26,800
Good for him Braun, you know you
can be in the football guy.
87
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,300
It's there a spot for Dalton
Keenan, two days in FL.
88
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,900
Yes, I think there's definitely
going to be a spot for him.
89
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:37,600
I'm not sure if he's going to be
that guy that you're going to
90
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,000
see getting, you know, 80% of
the snaps for a team.
91
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,800
I don't think he's gonna be that
guy at the NFL level, but I
92
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,500
definitely think he's going to
be a contributor.
93
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:50,000
I think he's got some potential.
Shal on special teams even
94
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,700
though he didn't do a ton of
special teams with the Hokies
95
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,600
just his frame is athletic
ability and his ability to block
96
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,300
him face.
I think you're going to see a
97
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:04,000
lot of specialty Mews by him and
I think because of his kind of
98
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:08,000
Versatility as an offensive
player that's going to be a guy
99
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,500
that you want to keep his, maybe
your third or fourth tight end
100
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:14,600
on your roster that can do some
stuff from the HVAC roll on top
101
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,500
of may be contributing on
special teams now, I know
102
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:19,700
people.
We're going to definitely look
103
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:20,300
at what.
Did he run?
104
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:23,700
40 wise, I want to see his
20-yard comb because the one
105
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:27,300
thing if you noticed about
Dalton playing a lot of sudden,
106
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:31,600
a lot of those angle routes.
Yeah, lot of the pot passes, I
107
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,300
think his 20-yard cone is going
to tell something to a lot of
108
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:37,700
teams because I think if it few
runs it well, like I think he is
109
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:40,000
because I think he has some
flexibility in his frame.
110
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,000
I think that's going to tell
people to saying, look how
111
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,600
flexible is he's going to be
that guy.
112
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,600
Like we're running an outside
Zone.
113
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,900
We can put them at that age back
and he can kind Of Swing his way
114
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:52,400
through the garden, The Tackle,
and get to the second level.
115
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,900
That's gonna be the drill.
I think that is going to show
116
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:58,800
for him that if he does well
you're going to see him getting
117
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,700
drafted day three.
Yeah and he's blocking in space
118
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:06,200
was really good as well and I
think that's that's going to be
119
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,700
another thing that we're going
to probably watch at these camps
120
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,600
and watch a lot of tape on him
is his ability to block in Space
121
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,700
is really good.
Definitely I'd say Pop in that
122
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:22,100
area yet.
Definitely not Elite in the in
123
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:26,300
line blocking, but I think as
far as his ability to block in
124
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:31,800
space, either in a lead role, or
split out, and get into the
125
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,900
second level against the
linebacker or safety, he's
126
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:39,200
definitely someone that can
contribute their absolutely one
127
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,800
other thing that Dalton kind of
made a splash within the last
128
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,900
week or so here, I'm going to
read the Tweet out Brian.
129
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:50,900
He made this back on the 7th.
Concerning some people
130
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:53,900
discussing for Wednesday in the
twittersphere and this was D.
131
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:58,600
Cute /, quote went a, is a coach
to demands 100% out of his
132
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,000
players every day.
I don't think that makes it a
133
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
toxic environment at all.
And to be honest, I wouldn't
134
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,500
want to play for a coach that
would settle for less.
135
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:12,000
If you're not 100% in, then get
100% out of the program.
136
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:18,500
You know, I again the -
twittersphere going on and kind
137
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:22,600
of Alton answered.
And guys, like Daris all and
138
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:26,500
some other folks, kind of
replicated and kind of gave him
139
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:28,700
the yep.
That's it guys.
140
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:33,900
So that first blood or First
Blood Part 2 first Blood that's
141
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:36,600
the original.
That's the original.
142
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,799
The cuz you know if he goes he
said his piece and I appreciate
143
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:43,700
that.
I appreciate the players you
144
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:48,600
know, coming in and you know
trying to make put the
145
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:50,000
Programming the light that they
feel it.
146
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,600
It should be in the said of some
of the, the more toxic Corners
147
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,500
that we see in this, in the
twittersphere, and I mean for,
148
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:58,300
there's always going to have a
negative element to it.
149
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:04,100
But yeah, I feel like sometimes
the, you know, we get the loud
150
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:07,800
voices coming from the smallest
percentage and I feel like it's
151
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,700
sometimes nice to have the
players step up and put some of
152
00:09:10,708 --> 00:09:13,000
that to rest.
Absolutely.
153
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And their voices are definitely
going to be the voices that
154
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,300
these recruits can.
More than just fans and other
155
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:27,000
folks in the hook Universe.
Speaking of the Hokey Universe,
156
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,200
kind of a big thing happened in
the RV, a today form a defensive
157
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,600
tackle for the Hokies, Jonathan
Lewis who had five year NFL
158
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,600
career.
He was named defensive
159
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,100
coordinator out at piranha
Verano, who had kind of been
160
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:46,700
down for a year for years.
Thanks to Highland Springs.
161
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,700
Sprung back up, made the state.
Ship game beat Highland Springs
162
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:52,600
on their way.
There lost a Maury.
163
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:58,400
I like this as I mean Louis
played with, you know, Darryl
164
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:05,200
Tapp new defensive line coach
Darryl Tapp so again, people are
165
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,100
talking about, let's cultivate
the 8004 and it's cultivate
166
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:11,200
Virginia.
Now, you got somebody down here,
167
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,500
who is obviously helping build
the program back up.
168
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,800
What's your takes on that?
Braun, it's gonna be nice.
169
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,000
Obviously, having some People
out in the no.4 and especially
170
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,400
at a program like Veronica that
not only has you know some
171
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,300
current high-profile wins but
also has a big-time history of
172
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:33,400
winning in the eighth of for so
I mean, it's going to be nothing
173
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,000
but positive.
I feel so therefore in terms of
174
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
recruiting in general and the
804 in terms of recruiting from,
175
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,900
I hope you perspective in
particular, so I see nothing but
176
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:46,200
good things coming from this.
Especially from a hockey fan
177
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,600
perspective.
Yeah, I mean because you
178
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:51,800
Jonathan out there.
Obviously Sam Rogers took over
179
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,200
Hanover announced a couple
months ago, Lauren Johnson out
180
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,800
of Holland Springs.
All the Thailand Springs now is
181
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,900
to appoint.
They're producing so much
182
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:04,200
talent.
The Hokies have sworn.
183
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,100
It Mystic quite a few of them
but a lot of guys they missed
184
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:11,100
that are going to significantly,
you know, your top 10 program
185
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:12,600
which is where we want to get
to.
186
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:18,300
So, you know, a guys that the
talents here don't be afraid to
187
00:11:18,308 --> 00:11:20,300
get it.
Don't be afraid to use the
188
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:25,800
connections yet me, we got, you
know, if that work at the 757.
189
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,700
And I think, you know, we need
to tap into the data for a
190
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:30,900
little bit more because we did
Miss on a couple guys that were
191
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:33,900
looking for from the Greater
Richmond area and it'd be nice
192
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:37,000
to start start laying some of
them guys, again, absolutely,
193
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,700
and 2021 is a big year, it is
not only Talent Rich down in the
194
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:45,000
757, but it's time.
Rich in 804 just a land rich in
195
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,200
Nova.
This is a big year for Virginia
196
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:51,000
and I know probably in some
future episodes guys were going
197
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,700
to be breaking down.
You know what we're looking
198
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:59,600
like, 20 21 was probably in
state and probably Bryan taking
199
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,200
a look at tape me, taking the
look at positional, like how are
200
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,200
we looking at the bees positions
inside Hokie nation and saying
201
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:10,600
we're going to go after this guy
like because for example, if the
202
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,200
depth chart is absolutely full,
you know what What will make us
203
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,800
lose form, but we're not going
to go head over heels because
204
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,900
you've got a bunch of guys that
can play.
205
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:22,000
It's a tough sell.
Well, you got that in.
206
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,200
You also have with a crop of
talent.
207
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,200
Like the the 2021 town is
looking like both in state and
208
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,600
within our recruiting footprint.
I definitely think that we're
209
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,400
going to go for guys that we
know.
210
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:43,000
We can get a man, we can get
them, get them on the field, you
211
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,900
know, if If not you're one year
to and definitely build up that
212
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,600
not necessarily go after guys
just to stack it one position
213
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,200
just because it's there.
Absolutely I'm something else.
214
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,100
I've noticed really these last
few days the Virginia Tech
215
00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:02,400
football Twitter account has
really I want to say stepped.
216
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:09,300
It's in game up trying to show
culture, show personality.
217
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:11,700
I'm sure.
Braun.
218
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:13,600
Did you?
I'm going to go buy eat Each one
219
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,000
of these, make sure you've seen
them because I have.
220
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,500
Did you see the Fuente girl Dad
drop?
221
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:21,400
Yeah.
That that one, actually.
222
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,200
I'd say impressed me the most
and the thing that aside from
223
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,500
the content, the thing that
stood out to me, the most was
224
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:32,800
how relaxed for what they seem
in that in that video.
225
00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:36,500
And the thing that really struck
me was if you go back and listen
226
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:40,400
to the video, listen to is
accent, his action is thicker in
227
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,900
that video than any pressure.
I've seen any other Media that's
228
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:46,300
been dropped out.
He seemed like he was really
229
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:50,400
just talking the way he talks
and not nothing seemed playing
230
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,900
nothing seemed, you know,
inauthentic so I think that
231
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:57,500
that's going to be that's going
to go a long way with without
232
00:13:57,500 --> 00:14:00,800
any nation in my opinion just
because it seemed relaxed and it
233
00:14:00,808 --> 00:14:04,300
seemed authentic.
Yeah, it did seem 100% authentic
234
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:08,400
talking about his girls there
and talking about being a girl,
235
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,900
dad.
And in talking about the
236
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:13,800
investment in the program he
said it and it made me Reflect
237
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,600
back to Remember, the Titans and
Hayden Panettiere each
238
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,600
character.
Like, I pictured, him walking in
239
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:22,900
and like his oldest daughter,
jumping on him about play and
240
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:26,800
like, okay.
But yeah, I loved it.
241
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:30,400
The other one, the Doug Masters,
Mom.
242
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:36,300
Hey man, if Mom has like
programs, usually that helps and
243
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:42,000
if Mama signing off as it is and
to someone of nesters caliber,
244
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:44,900
dog was a top 10.
Player he had committed to Ohio
245
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:47,800
State.
He had kind of held our visit
246
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,400
kind of in the bag for a while
and because if you kind of hear
247
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,700
that video was he kind of knew
that if I go there, I know
248
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:58,900
what's going to happen and he
waited and he went and it wasn't
249
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,000
long.
He flipped.
250
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,700
And but again, getting that
approval from a parent, again,
251
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,600
kind of reshaping.
This is the culture.
252
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,300
This is what we are loved it.
One of the cool things that just
253
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:15,400
dropped very recently.
Was it looks like they are
254
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,200
putting up the new locker room
stuff.
255
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:27,800
Yes and in the words of
ludicrous I got a got area codes
256
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:31,100
and I love it because it gives
the guys name and where they're
257
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:36,500
from and I think they used Grace
yard at the 804 700.
258
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:41,000
For the 757 James Mitchell fixed
on Gap.
259
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,200
In felt for the 276 and then
Henderson.
260
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:49,100
At the 336 and those are, that's
kind of where Virginia Tech is
261
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:51,600
in the middle of those for area
codes.
262
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:54,600
We did Miss in Northern
Virginia, they are but I'm sure
263
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,400
you can probably see more that
but I like in a like something
264
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,300
like that.
It's kind of showing your here.
265
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:03,800
Now with this is where you came
from.
266
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:09,900
Yeah.
And it's showing that you come
267
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:11,800
from different places.
Once you're here, you're here,
268
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,700
you're hokey or oq for life.
Life.
269
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,200
This is home.
Just it's all about absolutely.
270
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,200
And the last piece, and it's
kind of going to kind of set up
271
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,900
what we're going to be talking
about here today is the about a
272
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:30,700
four to five minute feature.
On the four new coaches here
273
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:37,400
between Tracy claeys, built
turtleneck Ryan Smith who's
274
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,900
younger than us, which makes me
sad and Darryl Tapp who's our
275
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:45,100
age, which yeah that's Cool.
I'll take especially especially
276
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:50,700
meaning Darrell few years ago
again here in those guys talk
277
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:55,800
and I don't know again it just
made you feel good and I know
278
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,100
there's a lot of negativity.
We can you look for optimism and
279
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,600
what really struck me.
Brian.
280
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,500
And it was the way bills
cheering installed, you could
281
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:08,800
kind of hear, it wasn't, it was
very authentic in his voice
282
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,200
about.
Yeah, the NFL something and it's
283
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,700
great, but it's something about
the right place, the right
284
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,099
people and what you're trying to
get to.
285
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:25,099
And to me that says something
because Bill turn, it could get
286
00:17:25,099 --> 00:17:29,800
a job at any NFL team.
He wants, he can his dad's The
287
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,900
Godfather, he is shown that he
can do that and then he came
288
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:37,500
here what else did you get from
that video?
289
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,000
Empty several things.
I'll be I'm glad you pointed out
290
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,100
the chilling piece there.
I mean, he's talking about, you
291
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:47,400
know, it's not just what you're
doing, but who you're doing it
292
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,100
with what you're doing, is what
you're trying to accomplish.
293
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:53,700
So I think that's that's the big
piece for him.
294
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,200
I think just in general it was
great hearing directly from
295
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,600
these new staffers about just
hearing stories about what
296
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,500
they've done before or, you
know, quick right up.
297
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:09,600
So it was good to hear it
directly directly from them, I
298
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,500
think.
Like that.
299
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,700
But like you've been pointing
out is what the fans have kind
300
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:15,200
of been clamoring for a little
bit more.
301
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,600
We don't necessarily need to
know everything that's
302
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,500
happening, but if we can just,
you know, get a little closer,
303
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,600
don't keep us as much at arm's
length.
304
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,800
You know, will definitely
Embrace that a lot more.
305
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,900
So I think that's the big thing.
It seems like everybody's
306
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:33,700
excited to be in the building
and I think, you know, they want
307
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:35,100
to do something want to build
something new with.
308
00:18:35,108 --> 00:18:37,700
They also want to honor the
Traditions that we have that
309
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,600
come before them.
So I think that's big And just
310
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,800
how they all seem to be talking
about jehan's energy and hard
311
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,900
work, and how that kind of was a
big attracting factor for them
312
00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:50,000
and why they're there.
So I think that that's, that's
313
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
the big things.
The big takeaways that I have
314
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:55,900
absolutely.
Well, we've opened up went
315
00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:58,000
through some things for the
remainder of the show.
316
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,500
This is kind of what we're
looking at today.
317
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:03,000
Guys.
We're going to be looking at the
318
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,600
staff itself.
Obviously, yet for new guys, we
319
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,800
just discussed there were some
Al going guys.
320
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,000
Some of those are going guys,
rub people, the wrong way, the
321
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,700
way he let go.
There's some staff changes,
322
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:21,500
clearly John's mooching J Hamm
here, but Madam like them Berg
323
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:23,000
as well.
We're going to discuss that
324
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:25,600
along with these new guys in
that interview.
325
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,200
So before we go any further,
we've got to stop here and we've
326
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,800
got to start with the outgoing
Staff.
327
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,400
All right, so obviously the
biggest outgoing coach is the
328
00:19:39,408 --> 00:19:40,400
legendary.
Gary Bud.
329
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,900
Foster to me the greatest
defensive coordinator in the
330
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:49,800
history of college football.
No doubt, you know it was big
331
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,200
but it was known luckily but
didn't pull anybody strings.
332
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,700
He came out in August in
announced it sort of got the
333
00:19:56,700 --> 00:20:01,100
team and the staff a chance to
hate looks.
334
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,900
This is how we're going to look
in the future and kind of revert
335
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:05,900
back to why the 2020 doesn't
look great?
336
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:09,200
Well, when you don't have a name
defensive coordinator stuff when
337
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,900
going to hurt You know, I don't
know what else to say on bud,
338
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,400
Brian.
You and I were lucky enough.
339
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,000
We were at the pit game.
We were at his last game in Lane
340
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,200
Stadium pitching.
The shutout, the defense that
341
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,900
day.
Played unbelievable.
342
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,000
It was a fun time in the rain.
It wasn't.
343
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,300
It was a fun time.
In the rain.
344
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:30,900
We were at the perfect spot
though.
345
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,700
We were at that.
Right.
346
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:34,500
Out of the rain we would have
been to Rosedale.
347
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:37,200
We would have been soaked.
We are right out of the rain but
348
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,500
I mean but losing Bud hurts.
I mean he'd been on the staff
349
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:45,900
since you know, since we were
like in diapers got the
350
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:50,900
defensive coordinator title back
in the mid-90s and then ran with
351
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:55,600
it for the next 20 plus years.
And I say legendary, I mean
352
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,500
those defenses in the mid-2000s
man if we had any semblance of
353
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:05,800
an offense in 05, 06 or 07.
Yeah.
354
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,800
If we could have just been You
know above average in that
355
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,900
category, you're talking about
some some serious, some serious
356
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,300
winds there and that's on top of
you know having having a run
357
00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:24,000
there that was better than you
know most of the the top 10
358
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,700
programs that were talking about
trying to get back to.
359
00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:30,900
So you know it's it's something
you know, there's some there's
360
00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:33,600
some Coulda woulda's in there
but at the same time you gotta
361
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,100
appreciate what he was able to
do while he was there and just
362
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:40,200
glad that we got to experience.
That Rod pretty much from start
363
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,600
to finish.
Yeah we did our age group.
364
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,600
Definitely did let me throw this
at you.
365
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:51,300
Should he be the leading
individual as to put
366
00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:53,100
coordinators into the College
Football Hall of Fame?
367
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:56,600
There's none in there right now,
but as you remember during the
368
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,700
announcement and people are
like, you've got to put them in
369
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:02,500
there.
He changed the way the game is
370
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:05,100
played, the way people look at
coordinators, you know?
371
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:08,400
There's obviously some other
guys, I feel like I cannot think
372
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,300
of The guy's name, but the like
Switzer's OC, who brought the
373
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:17,500
wishbone to Oklahoma, some of
Bears defensive, those guys
374
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:21,800
deserve to be in there and I'm
hoping with him being younger
375
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,700
guy, you know.
And it's, you know, in his early
376
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:27,900
60s I'm really hoping overall
that they can get the benefit
377
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:29,900
and say, we're going to put
these guys in, we're going to
378
00:22:29,908 --> 00:22:33,300
put a wing for the coordinators
in the position, coaches, who,
379
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,300
you know, had coaches are great.
But if you don't have these guys
380
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:40,300
on certain teams, these You
know, these guys aren't as great
381
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:43,300
as they seem.
And, yeah, there's guys that
382
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:47,600
innovate in the the college
football world that aren't
383
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,900
necessarily guys, that would
make good head, coaches or
384
00:22:50,900 --> 00:22:52,600
interested in becoming head
coaches.
385
00:22:53,100 --> 00:22:56,300
But that doesn't discount how
they impacted the teams.
386
00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:58,900
They were part of because of the
be, they were bringing
387
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,100
innovative ideas to the
Forefront.
388
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:05,600
Now those, those head coaches
were certainly, you know, they
389
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,900
in their wisdom.
They saw, let's Embrace these
390
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,900
new ideas But you know, let's
give some credit to the guys
391
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:15,600
that are either taking what was
already there and building upon
392
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,600
it or kind of coming up with
some of these these schemes
393
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,600
themselves.
So, I think that there's
394
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,800
definitely a wing there that
needs to be dedicated to these
395
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:26,800
these coordinators that they
really change the game in a lot
396
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,600
of ways.
Absolutely.
397
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:31,900
So there's our first big loss
when you about that ahead of
398
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:34,500
time.
The next one and the one that
399
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:38,500
rubbed people the wrong way was
the letter.
400
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:42,800
Go Charlie walls, Charlie.
Who had been with the program?
401
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:49,800
You know, since 96?
So significantly long was
402
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,500
advised, he wasn't going to be
returned.
403
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:55,600
Now, the way conversations go,
he was given the option to coach
404
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,400
the bowl game.
He didn't want to do that.
405
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:04,000
That's his choice.
Give me what your take is on,
406
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Charlie.
I love Charlie.
407
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,400
I thought he always coach guys,
up.
408
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,400
Good, never met him, but why do
you think Charlie was all in?
409
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,900
All that go?
Now, I think the biggest thing
410
00:24:14,900 --> 00:24:17,800
is that, you know, and we'll
talk about this more as we get
411
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,800
to the new defensive staff.
But I think just with a younger
412
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,300
coordinator, I think we were
moving to more of a younger more
413
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:29,600
energetic staff.
I mean, I just think that that
414
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,000
that's that's the direction that
we were heading.
415
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,500
And I think because of that, he
was pretty much kind of put to
416
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:38,000
Charlie.
Hey, we're heading in this
417
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,900
direction.
Do you want to coach in the bowl
418
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:43,400
game to go out with bud?
Or do you want to go ahead and
419
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,600
pack it in and, and call it a
day?
420
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,200
Unfortunately, you know, he
decided he wanted to take that
421
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,100
latter option, which I don't, I
don't begrudge him but I'm sad
422
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:55,700
that that Hokie Nation didn't
get to see him in, but kind of
423
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:58,700
go out at the same time, because
I think I've been pretty special
424
00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:02,800
thing to see agreed and Charlie,
clearly, I think Maybe one
425
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,500
reason he did that was to get a
jump on his next Endeavor, and
426
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:10,700
he is down at NC State now.
So going to be recruiting
427
00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:12,600
against him.
He's got a friend down there
428
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,000
now, too.
Absolutely.
429
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,600
Yeah.
Brian Mitchell.
430
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,100
Quarterbacks coach also, let go
also down at State again.
431
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:24,400
Don't know enough about
Mitchell, but he was let go.
432
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,100
You know, I mean I kind of this
is this is the with what we
433
00:25:29,100 --> 00:25:30,700
ended up seeing.
I think this was definitely a
434
00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:34,900
push to get a guy with Northern
Virginia ties.
435
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:39,700
And you know, in-state born,
born and bred Virginian and
436
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:42,600
house for that position.
I just think that that's, that's
437
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,100
ultimately, what would led to be
Mitch being being let go there?
438
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:50,200
I think we kind of had a couple
ideas in mind and I think both
439
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,500
of them were going to be
Virginia Natives and ultimately,
440
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:55,600
you know, Ryan Smith is who we
ended up.
441
00:25:56,700 --> 00:25:59,200
Getting at the quarterback spot,
but I feel like that's kind of
442
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,700
the direction we were heading.
And that, unfortunately, put
443
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
could be met on the outs there.
Yeah, and again, down at state.
444
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,700
So again, going to be recruited
against him.
445
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:11,800
Last got let go on Zone burdens
on hasn't landed anywhere else
446
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,000
and that's some me and you were
kind of shocked about because,
447
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,900
when he was originally, let go
were, like not shot was a part
448
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:21,700
of the old staff but we were
like, oh, do you Campton
449
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,300
somebody within the first couple
was fourth in the first month of
450
00:26:25,308 --> 00:26:27,100
probably pick him up?
You know, known as a good
451
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:32,000
recruiter but he hasn't so yeah,
that was a big shock to both of
452
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,900
us.
I mean I thought that definitely
453
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:37,200
for sure, one of the seven, five
seven programs were picked him
454
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,600
up.
Whether you know Division, 1 or
455
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,500
Division 1 double a one of those
schools down there was going to
456
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:44,500
was going to scoop him up for at
least two position roll.
457
00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:47,800
If not offensive coordinator
look, and it just didn't come to
458
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,100
fruition.
So it's very interesting how
459
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:52,700
that went on.
So we're going to move onto.
460
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:56,900
Those are the guys out inside
the Graham, there were some
461
00:26:56,900 --> 00:27:00,100
staff changes.
Obviously, the biggest was
462
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:06,000
Justin Hamilton going from the
safeties coach to defensive
463
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,200
coordinator.
Justin 38 years old?
464
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,100
You run, you did a little more
for folks that don't know
465
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:15,900
Justin.
He you know, there's a lot of
466
00:27:15,908 --> 00:27:17,500
stuff in Prime did a little
digging on them.
467
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:22,300
So Brian just kind of what you
found out by researching.
468
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:25,200
All right so I mean we obviously
got to Southwest Virginia.
469
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,800
Native coming in Into the
defensive coordinator role,
470
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,600
which I think is a big thing,
both for the state.
471
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,500
And for the school, there's been
a big Push by both the fan base
472
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:39,700
and alumni to really start.
Looking at Virginia will be
473
00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:42,000
closed and I think this is
definitely a concerted effort to
474
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,700
really get back on that in-state
recruiting wagon and starting
475
00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:50,400
scoring some of those those
bigger bigger fish from the 757,
476
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,300
804 Northern Virginia.
Yeah I think that's the biggest
477
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:58,500
thing that we're talking about.
Just about Justin in general.
478
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:02,600
I mean, any hockey fans going to
know the use of versatile.
479
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:07,500
Use a versatile player, he was a
team first, guy low ego, you
480
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:11,000
know, play three or four
positions, whatever was needed
481
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,100
of him.
He was, he was willing to step
482
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:18,300
in and get it done.
You know, I think again 38.
483
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:20,600
So we're talking about bringing
in a coordinator.
484
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,000
That's going to be young
energetic, but he's got that
485
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
hokey blood in and he's got that
lunch pail.
486
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,600
In him.
So I think you're going to see a
487
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,100
blend of the old.
It was some, maybe some new
488
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:38,200
ideas and some new new ways of
attacking off, that may help us
489
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,500
especially when it comes to
things like containing
490
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:45,300
quarterback runs which have kind
of been the Bugaboo for our
491
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:48,900
defense, despite all of the
successes through in our
492
00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:51,300
history.
So I think we might see some
493
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:56,000
some new things from him that
might try to address that he was
494
00:28:56,100 --> 00:29:01,700
the coordinator UVa-Wise coach
outside linebackers of Emi and
495
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:05,900
then I was to from Virginia Tech
perspective as a member of the
496
00:29:05,908 --> 00:29:08,000
staff.
He's been you had an on-field
497
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,600
and all field presidency at
player Personnel position when
498
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,100
he first came on and now he's
coaching the safeties.
499
00:29:15,500 --> 00:29:19,700
So I mean I think we're really
getting a really big asset for
500
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:22,300
us.
You know, there is some some
501
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,500
fear because of the unknown
because we don't know what he
502
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:27,500
looks like.
Defensive coordinator at the
503
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:32,500
power 5 level.
But in terms of intangibles, in
504
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:36,200
terms of football IQ, and in
terms of just being able to
505
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,700
build relationships with players
and with the community, I don't
506
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:42,000
think there's anybody, that we
could have found better.
507
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:45,600
Yeah, I agree in the football,
like, you is the big piece.
508
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,800
A lot of people, you know, while
we were supposed to get some
509
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,400
million-dollar coordinator yada
yada, but then you kind of talk
510
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,800
and say, you realize this guy
went from playing Running back
511
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,500
to receiver to flipping and
playing safety for two years,
512
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,200
then getting drafted and playing
in the NFL for three years.
513
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,700
Before he hurt his knee, do you
know the amount of intelligence
514
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:08,400
and takes to do that to say oh
yeah you're going to learn this.
515
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,700
Well then you're going to learn
this.
516
00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:11,900
Now we need you to completely do
something different and learn
517
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:15,000
this and become so good at it.
That you go to the highest part
518
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,100
of your profession and I stay
one year, but make it three
519
00:30:18,100 --> 00:30:20,800
years and probably would've been
longer if not for the injury.
520
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:24,000
And when you think of folks like
that in my opinion, that's why
521
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,700
when they named I'm like Is
first of all the Hokey through
522
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:30,600
and through.
But how smart you have to be
523
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,800
run, you play offensive line and
you switch positions.
524
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,100
Occasionally to say, you're not
even switching, you're not even
525
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:40,200
staying in your core group.
You're jumping from this group
526
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,900
and this group and now
completely other side of the
527
00:30:41,908 --> 00:30:44,600
ball in the intelligence.
It takes in the football.
528
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,200
Like you it takes there's going
to be probably things that he
529
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,200
can see that.
Not many players can see because
530
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:53,300
I've done this before.
Yeah.
531
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:57,000
There's always a benefit from
guys that were able to Play both
532
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,500
sides of the ball at a high
level just because I mean as a
533
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:06,500
as an offensive, lineman that
coach defensive tackles, you
534
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:09,200
know, I didn't just coach even
two tackles on technique and
535
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,800
things like that.
I also told him, hey, here's
536
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,600
what the offensive lineman is
going to do.
537
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:17,100
Here's how you can counter that.
Here's how you can negate that.
538
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,800
So, I mean there's bigger degree
of understanding.
539
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,000
There is not just scheme and
knowing where to be and what to
540
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,400
do.
But also, Okay.
541
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,400
Well if they throw this at you
knowing hey what's a good
542
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,800
counter punch.
Exactly.
543
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,900
And there's we think you can
probably see like that.
544
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:37,300
That again not many people have
that same view of.
545
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,000
Yeah, I'm really excited to see
what he's going to do.
546
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,500
I mean I like I said I don't
know at this point what changes
547
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:44,900
are going to look like?
I'm really looking forward to
548
00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:48,800
the spring game to really see
from a scheme perspective, how
549
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,500
much different this calls are
going to be relative to what we
550
00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:55,000
saw from bud.
Absolutely.
551
00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:00,000
Alright.
The second move was Adam like
552
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,900
them Berg was moved from the
associate head.
553
00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:08,600
Coach to the running back coach.
Yeah, I heard about that.
554
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,100
You have some thoughts about
that.
555
00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:12,800
God.
So I'm sitting here and they
556
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,600
would he was hired for the role
last year like, okay.
557
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,400
Okay.
This is going to be your game
558
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,200
manager.
I felt we'd like, we horribly
559
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,900
manage games this year, like, if
this is your job, To help coach
560
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:28,000
for Wednesday with the timeout
situations and down in distance.
561
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:29,900
Oh my god.
There were times just like,
562
00:32:29,900 --> 00:32:32,300
okay, called a timeout.
Why aren't we calling the
563
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:33,900
timeout?
Somebody get in his ear.
564
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:36,100
If that was his job, which you
kind of Wonder?
565
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:38,400
Is that your responsibility as
the ahc?
566
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,100
You know, it was terrible.
Also, we didn't know what his
567
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:46,200
responsibilities was, which is
in the tight-lipped part of the
568
00:32:46,208 --> 00:32:48,300
program, which we hate is like,
what are you doing?
569
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,900
His resume, doesn't in, you
know, excite me.
570
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,300
No, he did play it Nebraska in
the late 90s early 2000s when
571
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:04,700
they were a very good team under
solich but then like he was at
572
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:09,500
it, he was a ga at Wayne State.
He was a G8 TCU during those
573
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:14,200
good years.
That's a ga not a position coach
574
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,900
nothing like that the ga 2010
and 2011.
575
00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:21,100
He was a co-offensive
coordinator at Central
576
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:23,800
Connecticut University couldn't
tell you if that's D3.
577
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,900
Edie to in a.
I so clearly not, you know, one
578
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:34,400
day a or the highest level and
then 2012, he goes to Memphis as
579
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,900
the person will pursue director
of player Personnel much.
580
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:42,200
Like we've got Pearson Prelude,
now doing that for us, he had he
581
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,500
did a lot of stuff in that role
which is great.
582
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,900
Kind of get some different views
and stuff but he was not
583
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:52,800
immediately brought to Virginia
Tech by coach Fuente.
584
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,800
He went to UT And where he was
the passing game, coordinator
585
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,700
wide receiver coach and 16, then
he became the director of player
586
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:05,800
personnel and 17 at Tech.
So, it's just not a to me, not
587
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,800
enthusiastic because I don't
know anything about it and My
588
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:15,500
Hope Is We blow up.
I'm hoping at in December, I get
589
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:18,500
to say, yeah, I was wrong.
This was the best running back
590
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:22,199
group, we've had since David
Wilson but I'm just so scared
591
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,199
because The background.
It's like what is he here for?
592
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,900
Yeah, I mean the biggest
positive that I see out of this
593
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:33,199
right now is that?
I mean here's a here's a food
594
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:39,199
guy, he's been in with went to a
it multiple stops at this point
595
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:42,699
and I think he's a guy that
probably knows what fun things
596
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:47,000
trying to do from an offensive
scheme perspective, maybe even
597
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,500
better than some of the coaches
we've had whether he can relay
598
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:53,800
that information and Coach up
the the player.
599
00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:57,900
The way he needs to is, maybe
the the question mark we have at
600
00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:01,100
this point because, you know,
based on his resume we don't
601
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:05,900
have a lot of big damage to to
Rally behind a success in this
602
00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:09,000
terms of the position itself, he
hasn't really cooked it.
603
00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:13,000
So that that part is a little
disheartening, it is definitely
604
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,600
not something that I'm
enthusiastic about.
605
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,800
I'm I am glad from a recruiting
perspective that we still got
606
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,500
this guy and house because he
seems to do really well on the
607
00:35:21,508 --> 00:35:24,800
recruiting Trail.
So, If you're looking for a
608
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,800
silver lining going back to, I
know we talked about that a lot
609
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:33,400
back in the The Stone spring day
is like, yeah, you can't call
610
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,300
plays but that sumbitch can
recruit good.
611
00:36:00,900 --> 00:36:07,900
Now 24 guys, me and Brian were
both excited about getting
612
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:11,600
hired.
I want to start with Ryan Smith.
613
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,600
The youngest of these for new
hires, I'm trying to do the
614
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,400
math.
I don't think Ryan Smith is 30
615
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:23,100
years old.
He is so young youth, but, um,
616
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:28,400
As I Look to his resume and kind
of the stuff he did, I see him
617
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,000
being young and I compare him to
like him Berg's resume and I
618
00:36:32,008 --> 00:36:35,500
love his just a few things about
Ryan Smith for everybody to
619
00:36:35,500 --> 00:36:39,100
know.
Ryan Smith is a Virginia born
620
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:40,500
and bred Kid.
Born in King.
621
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:47,200
George Virginia went to William
and Mary is a defensive backs.
622
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:52,200
We played under Jimmy laycock,
laycock has a great track record
623
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,100
of his players, becoming
Excellent coaches.
624
00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:59,900
See Mike Tomlin the Pittsburgh
Steelers, see Sean McDermott
625
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,800
with the Buffalo Bills.
He was there for five years, he
626
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,700
graduated in 2014.
Also, he went away in and marry,
627
00:37:10,700 --> 00:37:13,500
you just don't get into even
married to play football.
628
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:16,700
You literally have to be a
scholar athlete to get in there.
629
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:20,900
So, there is a clearly, a very
smart guy.
630
00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:27,900
We have picked up here He
graduated 2014, he went down to
631
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:32,800
University, Texas.
San Antonio, as a ga from there,
632
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:39,200
15 and 16, he was at Penn State.
As a ga 16 was there Rose Bowl
633
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,400
season, one of the best seasons,
they've really had in the last
634
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:47,600
two decades.
I like us going to somebody that
635
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,100
went to Penn getting somebody
who's seen the inner workings of
636
00:37:50,107 --> 00:37:53,600
Penn State especially as much if
they poach from us for the last
637
00:37:53,700 --> 00:38:01,300
S couple of years after 16 2017,
and 2018 under Kirk dignity.
638
00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:05,800
He was down at E Line as their
secondary coach had some very
639
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,300
successful guys, down there a
couple guys to make all CAA
640
00:38:09,300 --> 00:38:15,000
teams.
And in 2019, he actually was a
641
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,600
Walsh NFL fellowship with the
Green Bay Packers.
642
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:22,400
They have those throughout some
of the former coaches on Tech
643
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,900
staff has been part of that.
That's again, exposure to the
644
00:38:25,900 --> 00:38:31,300
NFL exposure to more coaching,
2019.
645
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:35,900
He followed cignetti down to J
mu and clearly, if you follow
646
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:38,200
Commonwealth football or the
state of the Commonwealth
647
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:43,800
football JMU had one hell of a
season National runners-up in
648
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:49,200
the FCS, he was coaching just
the safeties down there, which
649
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,500
might be a concern to some
people but not to me, he had to
650
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:59,400
Two first-team CAA safeties.
The one thing I see with all, if
651
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,800
you look at his numbers, his
defensive backs are aggressive.
652
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,500
One of the safeties have six
interceptions this year.
653
00:39:07,900 --> 00:39:11,600
Nice front, let me ask you this.
I've got a couple more things I
654
00:39:11,607 --> 00:39:14,000
want to talk with him, but let
me ask you this, he played
655
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,300
corner, he coached Corner deal
on but then he flips the
656
00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:20,700
safeties.
We do see this a lot with
657
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:24,000
secondary coaches.
Like, you can coach one Coach
658
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,000
the other and go back.
But what's the primary reason
659
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,600
for that?
Why were you see, guys do that?
660
00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:35,000
I think the big thing that we've
been seeing is our rosters kind
661
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,200
of trending toward that
versatility that guy that can do
662
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,100
a lot of things.
Well so I think that's kind of
663
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:45,500
part of the the philosophy here
but also I think you know,
664
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,700
you're pointing out it is, it
could tell us the story about
665
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:53,200
where J Hamm is heading with his
philosophy.
666
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:59,000
For the secondary getting a guy
that you know, is aggressive in
667
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,800
the secondary, both from
safeties and four corners, I
668
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,600
don't think we're going to see a
change in the velocity or trying
669
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,500
to get these get these guys
about to turn over the ball.
670
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:12,200
So I think that's still going to
be a linchpin of the, the Hokie
671
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,800
defense is forcing turnovers
getting the offense in a good
672
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,000
position to score some points.
Yeah, agreed.
673
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,700
And thanks for that sort of
explanation.
674
00:40:21,300 --> 00:40:23,500
Another thing I read again, I
talked about it.
675
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:26,100
I think this was a huge move for
recruiting.
676
00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:29,900
Being a Virginia guy, not only
for the state.
677
00:40:29,900 --> 00:40:33,700
You know, he's primarily going
to be covering Richmond area and
678
00:40:33,700 --> 00:40:37,600
the 757 but I think just overall
when you put a got this young
679
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,300
old staff, you talk about I
think a lot of relatability to
680
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:46,500
recruits that that has nothing
to help.
681
00:40:46,500 --> 00:40:50,300
We're about to go in the last
five years from one of the
682
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,900
oldest ass in college football
that to now we might Be the
683
00:40:53,900 --> 00:40:57,800
youngest staff in college
football but we're not young
684
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:03,200
when it comes to years of
coaching, and I think the ages
685
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,800
of number, but the coaching
experience is going to be there.
686
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,700
Now, think we're these guys have
been as a key component to
687
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:12,400
because you look at some of the
stops of these guys.
688
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,200
You know, they don't necessarily
have a ton of experience but
689
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:20,100
they've been in behind the doors
of some of these really, really
690
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:22,900
Key Programs.
Some of them, you know, at about
691
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:27,200
the same level Us.
And some of them are programs
692
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,000
that were aspiring towards and
some like JMU or programs that
693
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,500
are in the state but have had
success in a different level of
694
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:35,800
college football.
So I think, you know, that
695
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,800
experience is really, really
important.
696
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,600
Yeah.
Now, one guy that does have the
697
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,700
experience is our new
linebackers, coach Tracy claeys.
698
00:41:46,900 --> 00:41:49,700
Tracy's been coaching over 25
years.
699
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,800
He's a Jerry kill disciple.
Feel like when Jerry killed Came
700
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,900
in last year he sort of helped
back calm the ship after the
701
00:41:56,900 --> 00:41:59,500
Duke game could have shown a
good direction.
702
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,400
Tracy's been a defensive
coordinator over. 20 years
703
00:42:04,100 --> 00:42:07,600
primarily you take a look at all
the stops running for three
704
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,700
scheme.
So kind of fits kind of tells us
705
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:14,800
that we're probably not going to
be changing our base defense too
706
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,000
much.
When you see that, I don't think
707
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000
you bring in a linebackers coach
with the 43 scheme.
708
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,500
That's his background for 20
plus years and say oh we're
709
00:42:23,500 --> 00:42:24,800
going.
Switch to a 34.
710
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:27,500
Yeah, but we're not gonna see
that now go see that.
711
00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:31,200
But, but, you know, crazy to me
is, is really big.
712
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,600
If you just kind of look at what
he's did throughout his career,
713
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,700
I'm going to start in really the
last couple decades, 2004 with
714
00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:41,600
Jerry at Southern Illinois.
They led the FCS in scoring
715
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:47,200
defense at 13.2 few years later
in 07, they were Nessie SMI.
716
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:52,600
Team semi-final team with
another top. 10 defense from
717
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,400
there, he followed.
Jerry killed in Northern
718
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,900
Illinois, is again where they
had success, you know, in their
719
00:42:59,900 --> 00:43:05,300
2010 team which was their last
year at Northern Illinois, him
720
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:08,700
as a defensive coordinator, they
ranked 14th in Total Defense.
721
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,000
That ain't shabby, no.
You're not playing the best
722
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,200
competition in the Mac but not
shabby.
723
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:17,700
From there, they took over the
Minnesota program.
724
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,200
First year, I'm gonna kind of do
a rundown just to kind of show
725
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,500
you where you got that program
is now Minnesota.
726
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:25,900
They're not getting the
recruits.
727
00:43:25,900 --> 00:43:28,800
We are we're, we're recruiting
somewhere between 30 and 20
728
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,300
primarily Minnesota is more of
that.
729
00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:37,700
What I'm seeing that when Keel
was there, that mid-50s to Mid
730
00:43:37,700 --> 00:43:42,000
40's range, so we're getting
more profile, more higher rate,
731
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,900
guys.
But this is kind of what he did.
732
00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:47,100
They were their first year and
1193 ranked defense.
733
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:50,700
Then the next year, forty third
ranked defense.
734
00:43:51,300 --> 00:43:58,900
Then the 24th ranked defense
3443 and then 21.
735
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:05,800
So less Talent better conference
better competition, not playing
736
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,200
not having to terrible of Total
Defense numbers.
737
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:13,900
What do you think?
I mean, do you feel the same
738
00:44:13,900 --> 00:44:17,500
without you feel some?
It's some hidden stuff in there,
739
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:19,400
Brian.
I mean, I think I think those
740
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,400
are good numbers to throw out
there and I think, also, the
741
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,300
thing to consider is that I
didn't Get the offensive
742
00:44:24,300 --> 00:44:27,100
numbers, but I don't think that
in my recollection that
743
00:44:27,100 --> 00:44:32,400
Minnesota was out there, putting
up, 40 points a game so that
744
00:44:32,700 --> 00:44:34,900
those defensive numbers stand
for something because you're
745
00:44:34,900 --> 00:44:39,800
playing the Ohio, State's and
the Penn State's in that, in
746
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,000
that time frame, that were
putting up some per some pretty
747
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,500
serious points.
And that, and still able to put
748
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:50,900
out those numbers with that more
middle tier recruiting talent
749
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,400
that definitely speaks to him
being able to coach.
750
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,900
Those guys up and get the most
out of the town that he has on
751
00:44:56,900 --> 00:44:59,400
the roster.
So I think you know I don't
752
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,200
think there's any really - to to
speak up in their biggest things
753
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,900
going to be as Kenny translate
that into what J Hamm is trying
754
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:08,100
to do greed.
Now I'm going to throw one more
755
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:12,600
stat out here, 2018, with Wazoo
under Mike Leach.
756
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,000
He had his best defense.
They were the number four total
757
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,200
ranked defense in the country.
That was the year.
758
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,800
I am pretty sure that if they
had not been on a snow Laden
759
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,500
field and Pullman Probably could
have beat Washington and went to
760
00:45:25,500 --> 00:45:29,700
the Rose Bowl, but unfortunately
you're on the Air Raid Offense
761
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:33,000
and you're playing this so bad
things happen, and it did that
762
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,500
day.
Yep.
763
00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:40,300
Now, thanks did kind of in sour
for him at Wazoo in 2019 that
764
00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:42,900
the defense completely
struggled.
765
00:45:43,700 --> 00:45:46,300
But you doing some research, it
looks like there had been a
766
00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:51,300
significant riff with one of
Mike Leach has long time
767
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:55,000
defensive back coach has Read
some articles from Pullman.
768
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,800
Looks like this guy was very
vocal about things and kind of
769
00:45:58,808 --> 00:46:00,600
Tracy.
Look like he was just kind of
770
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,700
sick of it and just kind of
wrote his resignation, laid it
771
00:46:03,700 --> 00:46:09,300
on his desk and left and it kind
of also spoke to Tracy's
772
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:12,500
personality.
That this guy was more outgoing
773
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,100
louder.
Where Tracy is more was more of
774
00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:21,600
a reserved guy in for a new
defensive coordinator.
775
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,700
Having a guy who with
significant success coming in
776
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,300
and you care about like what the
other guy did it almost sounds
777
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:31,000
like this is going to be a good
role for Tracy.
778
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,700
He doesn't have to be the vocal
guy.
779
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:36,900
He can be quiet, he can be
reserved in the way.
780
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:42,200
I really feel like what's going
to happen is I think Tracy is
781
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,200
going to become the sounding
board for J Hamm.
782
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,000
I think you're going to probably
hear stories about after games
783
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,800
looking at tape as they're
evaluating guys.
784
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,800
Jenkins.
Let me go into him for things.
785
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,400
Gout, this much experience.
Why wouldn't you?
786
00:46:56,500 --> 00:46:58,000
He's going to have Bud there
too?
787
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,800
Yep, you can have a plethora of
experience to go after.
788
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:06,100
And again hearing about traci's
personality, think he's that
789
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:09,700
right type of significantly
older guy to be on staff.
790
00:47:09,700 --> 00:47:11,700
He's not boisterous, he's not
loud.
791
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,600
He's the other way and where you
see Jay, him, full of energy and
792
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,600
excitement, probably going to be
able to rein him in sometimes,
793
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,500
like pull back a little bit,
man, but I really I like to
794
00:47:21,508 --> 00:47:25,600
Tracy claeys higher concerning.
This new staff.
795
00:47:26,300 --> 00:47:29,300
Yeah, I think it's going to be
really good for us, long term.
796
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:31,600
It's like you said, sounding
board for J Hamm.
797
00:47:31,900 --> 00:47:36,200
A guy that has has the knowledge
has the experience but also
798
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:41,500
isn't necessarily somebody that
is looking to pad their resume
799
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:44,000
at this point of their career.
So I think he's a guy that's
800
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,100
going to be a big asset to J
Hamm.
801
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:51,900
As he kind of gets more,
acclimated to - it's of
802
00:47:51,900 --> 00:47:54,600
coordinator at this level of
college football because he's
803
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,200
got you nobody can lean on and
tracing that you can lean on
804
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,400
when he when he gets into a
situation where you know, he may
805
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,900
not quite be out of this depth a
little bit as being, you know,
806
00:48:05,900 --> 00:48:07,500
first time coordinator at this
level.
807
00:48:07,500 --> 00:48:09,800
So I think you know, nothing but
good things there.
808
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,200
So Brian, when we're breaking
this down, you've got the
809
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,400
opportunity to look at the two
hires that were definitely for
810
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,200
Hokie Nation more.
Exciting TNT.
811
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,200
And see.
Let's start built are on Nick,
812
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,200
go.
All right, so you got to hook
813
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,600
you fan and a cult fan talking
battle, former cult see,
814
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,100
ffensive assistant, whose father
was the Godfather of demons
815
00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:41,600
arrived and had some of the best
defensive line output that the
816
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,300
Colts have ever had.
So this is right in my
817
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:46,500
wheelhouse.
I'm ready to talk about is let's
818
00:48:46,500 --> 00:48:50,000
do this.
Alright, so he'll tear links so
819
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:55,000
big thing for him.
Pretty much been in 4-3 defense
820
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,800
has for the majority of his
career.
821
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,500
So again as we were talking as
you talk with Tracy, I don't see
822
00:49:02,500 --> 00:49:06,000
us changing not naughty dramatic
changes to scheme.
823
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,900
I think it's going to be more
subtle as far as
824
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:12,000
responsibilities the amount of
time we Blitz.
825
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,900
And then what what some of the
some of the calls are going to
826
00:49:15,908 --> 00:49:18,600
be I think that's going to be
where you see the biggest change
827
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,400
and not any sort of wholesale
Flipping of defensive
828
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,200
philosophies I think we're still
going to go with a one Gap
829
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,700
technique on defense because
what what bills worked in has
830
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:34,700
been primarily that one Gap
defensive technique.
831
00:49:34,900 --> 00:49:38,300
He wants your lawn your give us
a while to get upfield disrupt.
832
00:49:38,300 --> 00:49:41,100
The running backs angle spill
them to the other Defenders that
833
00:49:41,100 --> 00:49:44,600
can make the tackle and you want
to create pressure on pat on
834
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,800
the, on the passing downs and
get that quarterback releasing
835
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,400
the ball before he's ready to
this guy's had some Success in
836
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,100
his career.
Obviously I mentioned being a
837
00:49:55,107 --> 00:49:57,700
defensive assistant for the
Colts when his dad was the
838
00:49:57,707 --> 00:50:02,500
defensive line coach you know
from there I ended up with the
839
00:50:02,500 --> 00:50:06,900
the bills working as a defensive
assistant with Mike waffle.
840
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,500
Another another one of the
another god father of the modern
841
00:50:11,500 --> 00:50:13,200
defense who loved one get
technique.
842
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,400
So yeah.
So yeah like waffles the
843
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,100
defensive line coach that was
with the Giants the year the
844
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,700
They took down the undefeated
Patriots in the Super Bowl.
845
00:50:23,700 --> 00:50:26,400
So this guy knows how to get
defensive lineman up, feeling,
846
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,200
get pressure even against teams
that have really good offensive
847
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,300
lines, like the Patriots did
that year.
848
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:36,200
So, That's that's some of the
stops he's been on, but I think
849
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,400
the biggest thing for him is
that he did work as an assistant
850
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,200
defensive line coach with Mike
waffles.
851
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,900
So in the scenario that we have
now with, with Darryl, Tapp
852
00:50:44,900 --> 00:50:48,000
working with him on the, on the
defensive line.
853
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:52,500
I think he kind of appreciates
the dynamic of having two guys
854
00:50:52,500 --> 00:50:55,600
working in that role and you
know what, his role can be and
855
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,700
what he can do to, you know,
help Darrell grow in that role
856
00:50:58,700 --> 00:51:03,200
as well as far as what we can
expect to see from the defensive
857
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,200
line.
I mean, We're going to be I
858
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:09,000
think more aggressive at the
offensive line, getting up field
859
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,900
getting in those in those gaps
and then disrupting things
860
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:17,300
hopefully that doesn't come in a
detriment to to the running game
861
00:51:17,900 --> 00:51:21,100
just because you can sometimes
create bigger gaps and it's
862
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:25,700
going to be important for
linebackers to be able to make
863
00:51:25,700 --> 00:51:29,300
those tackles in open space.
When those gaps, do get bigger
864
00:51:29,300 --> 00:51:33,000
as a result of getting up feel.
But I think it's going to put a
865
00:51:33,008 --> 00:51:36,200
lot more pressure.
Iran on quarterbacks to make
866
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,800
faster decisions and that's
where the aggressiveness at the
867
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,000
secondary level that you were
talking about.
868
00:51:42,500 --> 00:51:45,300
With Ryan, Smith comes into play
and get those turnovers.
869
00:51:45,700 --> 00:51:48,000
Let me ask this Braun from the
tape.
870
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,600
You looked at, you know,
there's, there's a difference
871
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,800
between having to write for any
and Mathis and Lawson, but just
872
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,300
by looking at it, are you
skiing?
873
00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:59,700
We're okay.
Sometimes he depending on the
874
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:01,100
players.
But there were some times, he
875
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:04,500
was doing things skiing wise,
where it was like There's going
876
00:52:04,500 --> 00:52:08,100
to be offensive lines, not ready
for some of those different
877
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,100
looks and the way he, you know,
Slants and stunts like things,
878
00:52:12,100 --> 00:52:14,800
like, they're not going to be
prepared for On Any Given
879
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,600
Saturday.
Well, I think the biggest thing
880
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,400
that and what the bills were
doing is that they did a lot of
881
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:27,900
show and bail which really makes
offensive linemen frustrated,
882
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:30,900
you don't.
So yeah.
883
00:52:30,900 --> 00:52:33,800
So so you know you got a guy
showing Blitz and they'll bail
884
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,500
out The dolphins of lime in the
center, probably more than
885
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:38,600
likely has already made a some
sort of check.
886
00:52:38,900 --> 00:52:44,000
And now, now somebody doesn't
have a got a block because the
887
00:52:44,300 --> 00:52:47,000
Blitz the blister that was
showing his bailed out now where
888
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,400
that comes into big-time plays
when a blitz is called.
889
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,500
But not from the guy showing.
So now you've got an offensive
890
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:55,000
lineman.
That was expected to pick up a
891
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,200
blitz.
That's not coming.
892
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,300
But now he's also the odd, man
that has to find where that
893
00:53:00,300 --> 00:53:04,500
Blitz is coming from and get
there and that Dates, a lot of
894
00:53:04,500 --> 00:53:06,200
the problems.
That's why you go from, have a,
895
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,800
have a guy running free because
you got alignment that's waiting
896
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:13,000
on a, on an a gap Blitz.
And now this Center has to get
897
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,800
outside and get to the outside
linebacker that ended up being
898
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:21,300
the guy that's blitzing, who do
you think on the team right now?
899
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:26,600
And I'll, and I'll put it at the
defensive line primarily.
900
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:28,800
Who do you think?
Are we going to see the biggest
901
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,300
growth next year with just
having Carol, Nick?
902
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,600
And His defensive line coach, I
think you're going to see a lot
903
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,800
more disruption from the
defensive.
904
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:44,400
Tackles I think with the
rotation that we have now and
905
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,800
with some of the younger guys,
getting another year in the way
906
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,700
around.
When we started started a couple
907
00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:54,400
guys, right out the gate that
hadn't really been in the weight
908
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,400
room hadn't, been a part of our
program and they were
909
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:02,700
contributing significant snaps.
So I think, you know, I think
910
00:54:02,900 --> 00:54:08,400
like, I like, Like food is good
is going to really benefit from
911
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,300
this from this new scheme
because he's a guy that has had
912
00:54:11,300 --> 00:54:14,700
some size on them already, but
he's athletic and he can get up
913
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:18,600
field and disrupt those running
plays and still get after the
914
00:54:18,700 --> 00:54:21,000
quarterback as well.
So I think you might see him,
915
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,300
get some more rotation this
year.
916
00:54:23,300 --> 00:54:26,000
On top of the fact these you
know Heather had a year in the
917
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:30,600
weight room with us but the just
his build and his his ability to
918
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,700
get get into the backfield is
going to, I think pay dividends
919
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,500
With What feelings trying to do.
Nice.
920
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:39,600
All right, we're going to move
on.
921
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:44,300
And obviously, the last guy
we're going to talk about.
922
00:54:45,100 --> 00:54:49,100
It's Darryl Tapp and he needs
really no introduction to Hokie
923
00:54:49,100 --> 00:54:50,300
Nation.
But I'm going to give him one
924
00:54:50,300 --> 00:54:53,800
anyway, he shouldn't if you've
been a fan for any significant
925
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,200
bill that you don't know.
Darryl Tapp is, I question your
926
00:54:57,207 --> 00:55:00,500
fan of the Hokie Nation.
I'm sitting in my office right
927
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:02,400
now.
I've got a son Darryl Darryl,
928
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,500
Tapp pendants.
Behind me.
929
00:55:04,500 --> 00:55:09,900
So I'm a big Darryl, Tapp
believer right here so you know
930
00:55:09,900 --> 00:55:12,700
we're talking to Tom all-acc
first team.
931
00:55:12,700 --> 00:55:18,100
ER drafted in 2006 12-year NFL
career with six different teams,
932
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:23,300
definition of lunch pail
mentality, hard hat mentality
933
00:55:23,700 --> 00:55:25,500
said you're not going to outwork
me.
934
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:27,000
I'm going to keep this lunch
pail.
935
00:55:27,300 --> 00:55:29,000
The whole year.
You're not going to work.
936
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,400
You never gave it up.
We joke with him about that and
937
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:38,200
he was like, yeah it was mine.
I kept the lunch pail when he
938
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,100
got drafted.
I mean this guy can do it all
939
00:55:41,100 --> 00:55:46,300
and I mean, doing my research, I
was looking so me and him share
940
00:55:46,300 --> 00:55:49,900
one thing in common, at least
part of the 600 back squats.
941
00:55:49,900 --> 00:55:53,300
Love these 660.
I got 600.
942
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:58,100
So we're both in the 600 class.
We got asked out to celebrate
943
00:55:58,100 --> 00:56:00,000
that on big squat Friday.
Absolutely.
944
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:04,900
We have to but I mean from a On
the field perspective.
945
00:56:04,900 --> 00:56:07,500
And from a recruiting
perspective on the field, I
946
00:56:07,500 --> 00:56:09,700
think what he's going to bring
his, he's going to challenge
947
00:56:09,700 --> 00:56:14,300
these kids to work harder and I
think his pedigree is not just
948
00:56:14,300 --> 00:56:16,200
words.
He's shown it on the field, he's
949
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:20,200
shown it in practice, he's shown
it with with, with the lunch
950
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,300
pail, this guy's not going to
get out worked and I think
951
00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:26,100
that's going to inspire the kids
in terms of how hard they work
952
00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:28,900
both in the weight room and on
the field you know, to never
953
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:30,300
quit.
So I think that's that's the
954
00:56:30,300 --> 00:56:33,600
biggest thing out the gate that
he's going to provide for man on
955
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,900
the field.
Perspective, is that extra
956
00:56:35,900 --> 00:56:38,200
motivation to get more out of
these guys?
957
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,800
And they think they can really
get out of themselves from a
958
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,600
recruiting standpoint.
I mean, he's ruled it does, it
959
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,800
doesn't get much better.
I mean, you've got a guy came
960
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:54,100
from the 757 was a Hopi Legend
been in the NFL and now he's
961
00:56:54,100 --> 00:56:57,300
talking to guys from where he
grew up and saying, hey, you can
962
00:56:57,300 --> 00:56:58,900
be like me.
Let's go do this.
963
00:56:59,700 --> 00:57:03,300
Absolutely, and indeed it is
it's any school he walks in
964
00:57:03,300 --> 00:57:05,600
down.
They're the credibility's there
965
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:11,500
again, all-acc All-American
drafted, 12 years in the NFL so
966
00:57:11,500 --> 00:57:15,000
much of that stuff.
You know what can what can you
967
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,600
know some coach say like well I
don't think you should go there
968
00:57:17,900 --> 00:57:21,500
the kid would side.
I look him but this is a unique
969
00:57:21,500 --> 00:57:26,100
perspective for you because you
when you played in college you
970
00:57:26,100 --> 00:57:29,900
kind of are going to be in the
you were kind of in the same
971
00:57:29,900 --> 00:57:32,900
shoes as the defensive line kids
who are this year.
972
00:57:33,900 --> 00:57:38,000
Is because of your go ahead,
explain who you had because mean
973
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,000
in an NFL got hit it guys.
Yes.
974
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,200
Well, Championship.
Coming with the difference is
975
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,900
when a guy like that is talking
to you, so I'll paint you a
976
00:57:46,908 --> 00:57:49,700
picture here.
So I'm makes the last game of my
977
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:53,800
senior year, I tear up my ankle
for five months.
978
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:58,100
Recovery at that point.
I was, you know, maybe hoping
979
00:57:58,100 --> 00:58:02,400
and hoping to get a school like
J mu or we were married to say,
980
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,000
hey, come walk on for us.
Us.
981
00:58:04,500 --> 00:58:06,900
So I was pretty much at that
point thinking.
982
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,100
Yeah, I'm probably not going to
play football anymore, you know,
983
00:58:10,100 --> 00:58:12,100
I was getting a lot of calls
from division, three schools,
984
00:58:12,100 --> 00:58:14,200
but I just wasn't quite sure
that that was going to be a good
985
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,000
choice for me.
But ultimately I got a note from
986
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,400
Keith conlon, it's coach for
hand and Sydney's coaching
987
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,400
offensive line.
Come to find out.
988
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,500
That keep conlon was a
offensive, lineman for Penn
989
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:32,200
State and won a national
championship with Joe Papp and
990
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:38,700
was drafted by the Colts and
then played for the Saskatchewan
991
00:58:38,700 --> 00:58:41,100
Roughriders for a couple years
before getting back into the
992
00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:44,100
coaching ranks.
So that kind of that kind of
993
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,200
spoke to me a little I was like,
okay, well we got we got a guy
994
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:51,200
with that's been on that journey
and he's working with this coach
995
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,200
at him and Sydney trying to
build something that's got to
996
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:55,600
spend, that's got to count for
something.
997
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,700
So, you know that guy be in the
building and just talking with
998
00:58:58,700 --> 00:59:02,600
him and talking with his journey
and talk about what, what coach
999
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,200
Marty fabric was trying to do.
With him and Sydney that that
1000
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,800
sold me and I ended up playing
the hand and Sydney.
1001
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,800
So You know, I was at a point
where I wasn't sure if I was
1002
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,000
ever going to lay some up again
and all of a sudden you know get
1003
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,700
get another good three seasons
playing the games I love because
1004
00:59:19,700 --> 00:59:23,400
of a guy like him and I think
Darryl Tapp is going to have a
1005
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,700
similar type influence on some
of the kids that that he's going
1006
00:59:26,700 --> 00:59:29,500
to talk to you both in the 757
and really any recruits and he's
1007
00:59:29,500 --> 00:59:32,000
going to talk to on the road.
Very nice.
1008
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:37,700
So we're going to be putting out
a Twitter poll guys and what
1009
00:59:37,700 --> 00:59:41,000
it's going to say is which of
these You coaches Ron Smith,
1010
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:46,600
Tracy claeys built tunic or
Darryl Tapp we see impact game.
1011
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,700
One the most my votes going to
be for Ryan Smith.
1012
00:59:50,500 --> 00:59:55,800
I think a having to remain
waller or Mighty Chapman, Halo
1013
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,800
Farley to a lesser extent tamari
Connor.
1014
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:04,400
He's going in there with proven
guys and I think guys, he can
1015
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,800
immediately say I trust from day
one.
1016
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,700
I think that's my vote and I
will Vote on there.
1017
01:00:09,700 --> 01:00:11,200
Of course.
What about you Ron?
1018
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,900
I'm gonna go with out the gate
as far as on the field.
1019
01:00:14,900 --> 01:00:18,000
I'm going to go build your link.
I think what he's going to bring
1020
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000
to the table of getting those
guys ready and just from a
1021
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,500
technique and skiing
perspective, I think you're
1022
01:00:23,508 --> 01:00:26,000
going to see a lot more
disruption in the backfield
1023
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:27,900
Scott.
I think you're going to see
1024
01:00:27,900 --> 01:00:29,800
sacks go up and that's a direct
correlation.
1025
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,000
You're going to see turnovers,
go up whether we're talking
1026
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,200
strips Acts or whether we're
talking interceptions, because
1027
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,200
quarterbacks are letting the
ball loose before they're ready
1028
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,600
to make the right decision.
Great buy, anything else?
1029
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,200
We need to tie up on today's
episode.
1030
01:00:45,300 --> 01:00:46,900
Not real.
I think we're good.
