Buddy day 5 quarantine.
Oh man, how's it going to your
9
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:22,300
house?
You got a decent setup.
10
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:24,400
I've got a monitor, I've got my
laptop.
11
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,200
I'm I'm almost business as usual
every day.
12
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,200
You know me and Brian said In
the past, my wife's a teacher.
13
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,100
So she's teaching our two sons,
she's got little lessons little
14
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:40,500
things, every day for them, we
go outside and play, we eat
15
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:46,000
dinner, you know, I lost going
pretty well.
16
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,200
How about you guys not to bad?
Probably a little bit of the
17
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,100
same, to be honest.
I don't quite have the setup,
18
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,000
you do.
I'm at the dining room table,
19
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:59,800
most of the day, which is
comfortable for the most part in
20
00:01:59,808 --> 00:02:04,400
terms of Working.
But the actual seat itself.
21
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,400
You know, your boy gets up in
the afternoon and all the things
22
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,900
like, oh man, I need to walk
around and stretch for a little
23
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,300
bit here.
It's not that comfortable.
24
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:14,200
But other than that, I'm doing.
All right.
25
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,800
Like like you said my wife's a
teacher to so she's got little
26
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,900
lessons going on for my son and
you're mixing that in with some
27
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
some fun stuff and mix them with
some some time outside.
28
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,400
So at least we had some nice
weather the last couple days so
29
00:02:27,408 --> 00:02:29,900
that's made a little bit more
manageable.
30
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,100
Oh I Absolutely gorgeous.
Weather you know what sucks
31
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:37,700
right now about doing this
podcast today is Broad.
32
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,200
You're supposed to you're going
to shoot over to the house.
33
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,800
Today, we're going to do a
face-to-face recording session.
34
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,500
They were going to head up to
Hurley's, and grab beer and
35
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:52,300
wings and watch the madness.
And, you know how things in the
36
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:56,700
last 10 days have just
absolutely, you know, changed in
37
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:02,300
this world.
So that's the Yeah, Wednesday
38
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:04,600
last week we invite you guys to
join us today.
39
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,700
And you know now we're talking
about literally right after we
40
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:09,700
drop that the world completely
change.
41
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:15,100
So you know, we're dealing here,
but it is a sad day that, you
42
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:17,500
know, this day is one of the
days that we kind of look
43
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:20,600
forward to every year and, you
know, that's been taken from us
44
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,200
a bit but obviously, under, you
know, understandable
45
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,900
circumstances here but
absolutely, no, you feel bad
46
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:30,800
that you're missing out on it,
you feel bad, and you feel bad
47
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,300
for The bars and the
restaurants, especially, you
48
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:35,900
know, we were going to go to
Hurley's.
49
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:41,100
And, you know, I was I was
watching channel 12 news today
50
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:43,500
and they were talking to whole
team Who's down the fans and got
51
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:45,800
talked about how marches one of
their biggest months.
52
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,800
And, you know, you feel for
those guys because this is the
53
00:03:48,808 --> 00:03:51,400
fun times, man, if you remember
last year Harley's, I think
54
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,100
about 20, people of our group
came out, which is decent
55
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,500
number.
But when we left, we're going
56
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:58,100
through the bar area.
Oh, yeah.
57
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Excuse me.
Oh God.
58
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:03,700
Over.
Yeah, tell me that's that's
59
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:06,100
that's the crew did not.
We usually we like to start
60
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:07,900
early.
We usually take the day off and
61
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,900
show up at noon, get some food
by the time, the first game tips
62
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:14,300
off, you know, we've got a beer
in hand.
63
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:18,100
Sometimes we got a nap in hand
and we just kick back for about
64
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:21,500
five hours and just watch all
these early games and, you know,
65
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:24,500
hang out and everything.
So that's kind of our role is
66
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,600
usually by the time we leave,
that's when the rest of the work
67
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,200
crowd.
Showing up to do the same thing
68
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,500
we've been doing for Five hours.
So it's it's crazy.
69
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,800
You know, it's wall-to-wall and
it's sad that they're going to
70
00:04:36,808 --> 00:04:40,200
miss out on all that business.
And, you know, speaking of
71
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,800
Hurley's to shout out to
hourlies for always being such a
72
00:04:43,808 --> 00:04:46,800
good host for us.
And we've been doing that at
73
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,200
their spot for at least six plus
years now.
74
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,100
So, you know, and we've never
thought one day about changing
75
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,000
it.
So it's the, it's the place to
76
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,900
be and they're still doing
delivery.
77
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,600
And take out will pick up
orders.
78
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,700
So sir, anybody you guys in the
RV a area, want some good food,
79
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:10,200
some wings, some burgers,
definitely check them out.
80
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,000
Yeah yeah right I got nothing
this week.
81
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,600
We got Tavern burgers and wings
on Tuesday night from there
82
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,100
because because me and my wife
both needed that fixed because
83
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:21,500
this is our normal.
We ramp up and go there more
84
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:27,300
than a few times in the spring.
But in general guys, listening
85
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:30,500
out there wherever you may be
our VA whatever part of the
86
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:33,600
world, you Maybe.
And if you're not on full
87
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,900
lockdown, local establishments,
such as that support on most of
88
00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:40,800
these guys are doing delivery
and curbside.
89
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,100
You know, the waitress that came
out and delivered hours, she's
90
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:47,300
coming out and, like, gloves and
it's like, you don't have to
91
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:51,500
sign your receipt or anything,
but, you know, of course, I
92
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:54,200
didn't let the pretty generous
tip because this is their
93
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,300
livelihood, but go out and
support those places.
94
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:00,100
I think me and my wife is
discuss tonight or tomorrow.
95
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:02,200
We're probably going to get
Livery from one of the local
96
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,700
pizza joints.
So I really encourage folks to
97
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:10,600
do that during this time by all
means social distancing but
98
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,000
she'll try to support those
businesses that are staying open
99
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,700
that you know this this hits
them.
100
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,600
Absolutely absolutely curtains.
Since we're on the subject.
101
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,000
Yeah.
What's the go to wing sauce
102
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,300
somewhere?
At least for this guy was a few.
103
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:23,300
Okay.
Okay.
104
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:26,800
I'm a chili lime man.
I'm with chili lime.
105
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,200
That's that's that's number two
for me.
106
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,900
I actually I got Buck you and
chili lime.
107
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,400
I'm so going to get off.
No man.
108
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:39,800
Hey man, this cattle makes you
happy, doesn't it?
109
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,400
Tom Brady's not in the AFC.
Thank God man.
110
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,600
Thank God.
Nope not anymore.
111
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:50,800
That's the big one.
I'm sure all my my Buffalo fans
112
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:55,500
and jets fans and dolphins fans
out there and thankful that they
113
00:06:55,500 --> 00:06:59,100
actually have a chance to win
the division now maybe, but
114
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,300
maybe and less That's the secret
sauce is mostly Bill.
115
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:07,200
And then moved in, they still
might still be in trouble for a
116
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,200
few more years.
Exactly.
117
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:15,100
But hey, you know, he moved some
of our Hokies moved to man up
118
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,700
Kendall, Fuller, going back to
the Redskins.
119
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:25,200
Back to DC 41, back to the 40
million bucks over four years in
120
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,700
know, being local.
This is actually a prudent good
121
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:32,000
move for the Redskins.
I'm I'm shocked.
122
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:37,200
Yeah, so they go out, they make
a move, not only one that is,
123
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:43,000
you know, smart from picking a
guy that is versatile that can,
124
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,100
you know, play in the slide but
also play outside to help them.
125
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,300
Thank you too.
And, you know, got him for a
126
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:53,700
pretty good price and you know,
you got some Hometown flavor
127
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:55,500
there.
So you're going to probably get
128
00:07:55,500 --> 00:08:00,000
a few more butts in the seats as
a as a side effect, so it's
129
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,100
really no, nope.
Planning about that deal for
130
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,900
them.
Yeah and he wasn't the only
131
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:06,700
hope.
He was to get inside with the
132
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:09,900
Skins.
Logan Thomas tight end.
133
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,400
Wait that's that's the all-time
leading passer.
134
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:18,500
Yeah.
Okay, let's just we can go
135
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,200
there, you know what, let's have
enough food in the future where
136
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,200
we talk about guys who got moved
and you're like why do we move
137
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,200
these guys to different
positions, but not Logan, got
138
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,300
signed good for him.
Give that guy all the credit in
139
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:32,700
the world.
And you know was drafted fourth
140
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:36,400
round by the Cardinals is a
cutie Prospect when Bruce Arians
141
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,900
kind of said it's not going to
work out like that didn't wind
142
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:44,600
didn't complain started working
at tight end and I think Luke
143
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:45,800
has been in the league.
What?
144
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,600
Seven years now seven or eight
years?
145
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:58,300
Yeah the things that are taught
in Blacksburg about hey if you
146
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:00,500
can't make it here do whatever
you can do to make it.
147
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:02,200
You talk about Candles
versatility.
148
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:07,800
Unfortunately, he made that the
back break in absolute mine.
149
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,100
Honour, he was playing.
Yeah, free safety and slaw.
150
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,400
He rotated up and play free
safety and picked us.
151
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,700
And dudes, baller always has
been.
152

yeah we're going to need Tyra's
159
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,600
sellers started.
Seems like you know, he's gonna
160
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,600
be at least going to be a
transition quarterback for them
161
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,500
depending on what they do.
It either in this year's draft
162
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:58,100
or next year's draft give
something long term for that
163
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:01,400
position but you know we're
talking about probably Season
164
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,500
maybe two that he has an
opportunity to go out there and
165
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,900
show what he can do and go from
there.
166
00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:09,900
So, you know, kudos to him and,
you know, he's been, he sticks
167
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,700
with it.
And I mean, the big thing that I
168
00:10:12,708 --> 00:10:15,300
mean, if you're looking for a
transitional quarterback, a guy
169
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:18,800
like him, that does not turn the
ball over that has the ability
170
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,000
to make plays with his legs.
I mean that's that's going to
171
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,800
definitely be an asset.
I mean, he's not going to go out
172
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,700
there and throw 300 350 a game,
but he takes care of the ball.
173
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,700
He can make big plays in the
legs.
174
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:33,700
When When the play breaks down.
So I think they're going to be
175
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:37,000
okay.
And the underrated thing that
176
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,500
people will that doesn't like to
mention he wanted Buffalo.
177
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,700
He he was the quarterback that
led them to their first playoff
178
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:46,600
appearance since we were in high
school.
179
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:51,000
Let's just keep that on there.
They would not in seven that
180
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,500
year and could have been better
but you know they're old those.
181
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:57,400
It McDermott was the head coach
then right.
182
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,800
He's like no we're gonna play
Nate Peterman from pit and make
183
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,200
Peterman five interceptions and
1/2.
184
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,500
Trivial Henderson.
Yes, Cody off-the-cuff, comment
185
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:28,700
from Mike Farrell the other day.
You know, he was talking about,
186
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,600
kind of the what he was feeling
kind of the temperature in the
187
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,700
room.
As far as treyvion Henderson's
188
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:39,500
Recruitment and he's like, it
seems like at this point
189
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:41,700
because, you know, Clemson is
out.
190
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,300
And it looks like it's going to
be kind of Ohio State and maybe
191
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:48,600
a couple of those other guys,
but but pretty much We're kind
192
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,300
of neck and neck with Ohio State
at this point, and he's giving
193
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:55,700
us kind of a HomeTown favorite
not here at this point if he had
194
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:58,300
to go with his gut.
So that's kind of a, that's a
195
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:01,400
big change in the momentum
compared to where we were
196
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,400
probably about a month ago where
you know, everybody thought it
197
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,500
was going to be Clemson and all
of a sudden, they're not even in
198
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:11,400
the in the top eight there.
So, yeah.
199
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:15,000
All the other thing of high
estate, Evan, prior pretty
200
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
highly rated guy.
Yeah, there are all these 145
201
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:21,800
This class.
Yeah, he's good too.
202
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:24,200
Don't don't don't get me wrong.
But again, it's kind of the
203
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,900
domino effect.
I'm still a hokey a heartbreak.
204
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:32,600
So until I see that Ela last
Sunday in December, I'll hold my
205
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,100
breath, but that's looking good,
man.
206
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:38,000
We've been starting a couple
times we can.
207
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:49,000
We don't, we do more than that.
Things have changed, there's no
208
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,600
spring game.
So this is kind of going to be
209
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,900
are positional unit grading
until felt.
210
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:58,800
This was going to be our
breakdown of where we are right
211
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,700
now and that's going to be where
we are for the remainder of the
212
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:04,500
offseason.
So Cliff exactly.
213
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,500
So we're going to be hitting all
groups with the exception of
214
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:12,800
Specialists and the reason I say
I'm not going to say much about
215
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,000
specialist is you have to really
entrenched guys Prime Johnson
216
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,200
consistent.
We've seen, he can make the long
217
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,700
kick and Oscar Bradburn is one
of the best Putters in the
218
00:13:21,708 --> 00:13:24,400
country.
So we didn't go into those guys
219
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:27,600
clearly in a couple years.
When we do this, we might be
220
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,500
going in because as those guys
graduate, the position will be
221
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:32,900
given open.
So let's start today.
222
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:34,100
Brian.
We're going to start on the
223
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:37,400
defensive side of the ball.
I'm going to start with the
224
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:42,100
corner unit.
I give my grade of that unit, as
225
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:47,200
a B+.
And first of all, I feel just
226
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,600
great about it.
Our top three guys Farley and
227
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,400
wall or absolute Ballers it
showed in the stats.
228
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:57,600
It showed in their play on the
field last year.
229
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,000
Both ranked so high and numerous
statistical categories.
230
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,100
But then the third guy don't
forget about it maimoni.
231
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,800
Chapman was a freshman last year
and he really provided that help
232
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,300
Off the Bench and he shows that
he can belong on that field at
233
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:19,200
least for me.
The reason I go B plus is that
234
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:22,700
it's the depth that scares me
and I was hoping for spring
235
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:26,600
practice man.
You know guys like web and Marie
236
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,700
and the dick Thompson to get a
chance against like tray and
237
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:32,800
Tavian Robinson on the other
side of the ball but we're not
238
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,000
going to death that.
Now I'm going to say this, my
239
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,900
opinion is it's just one of
those guys.
240
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:41,900
It doesn't have to be all three
of them but it just one of those
241
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:47,200
guys can become a contributor.
This groups in a battle coming
242
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:51,300
now.
Something I saw me and you
243
00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:53,800
talked about it when we were
Channel phone call couple weeks
244
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,600
ago, you notice Lapine Rudolph
is not listed as a wide
245
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,300
receiver.
He brought that to my attention.
246
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:04,100
That was like, okay, let's not
sure about that.
247
00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:07,800
But okay, okay, but he's in, but
again, that's going to be fall
248
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Camp stuff and also Dorian
strong coming in.
249
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,200
Can they do stuff in their red
shirt in their first years as a
250
00:15:14,208 --> 00:15:15,900
redshirt year?
We do Don't know yet.
251
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:18,900
But again, I'm going to be plus
for this group.
252
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:22,500
What about you?
I'm actually going to go a solid
253
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:26,000
low, a on this.
Not, not quite as easy -, but,
254
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,600
you know, if I had to put a
number on it, I probably say
255
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:34,800
like 92 93, okay?
And the big thing for me is
256
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,700
similar to what you said, I
mean, we're talking about
257
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:42,100
bringing back, probably, The
best one to Tandem that corner
258
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:46,100
back in the conference.
And I think for me that's big,
259
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:49,800
that's big, you know, Frontline.
We're talking about having two
260
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,900
of the best guys that can do it
in the conference.
261
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:57,500
I was impressed by what Chapman
did last year as a freshman.
262
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,800
She showed promise and spell
Duty he showed promise when he
263
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,900
had to come on to take over when
when Farley was out.
264
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,400
So I mean he did get burned a
couple times yes but I think,
265
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,100
you know that's going to come
with with the experience and
266
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:14,700
playing against more of those
number one, guys.
267
00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:17,800
And I think I think the biggest
thing for me is I think Murray
268
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,700
is going to be a guy that we can
depend on as well.
269
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,800
And that's why I don't quite
have quite as many probably
270
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,400
concerns about depth.
As you, I feel like we've got
271
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,500
four guys that we can probably
probably lean on it.
272
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:32,000
I think Murray being versatile.
Being able to play the nickel
273
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
corner and being able to play
outside is going to be good for
274
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,200
us.
Awesome.
275
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,400
All right, I'll let you take the
next group.
276
00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:41,700
All right, so we're going.
We're going safeties.
277
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:43,500
Next, we're moving on to
safeties.
278
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:47,200
And, you know, for safety's, I'm
going to give them a solid
279
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,200
b-plus.
Mainly because I feel like
280
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,600
Frontline, we've got some
really, really talented players
281
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,600
that can do some special things.
I mean, we've got Divine Diablo
282
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,200
out there and then we've got
your Devon Hunter Hunter,
283
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,700
finally, stepping in 44, Reggie
there.
284
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:05,900
And I think that's going to be
the key because I think it's in
285
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:09,300
terms of top-end town in terms
of just what he can do on the
286
00:17:09,308 --> 00:17:12,099
field.
And I'm really excited to see
287
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:15,099
what with Devin Hunter can do
this year.
288
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:18,400
And for me, that's what kind of
takes it over the top and you
289
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,599
know, we still got Tyree out
there that can, you know, help
290
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:23,800
out on the back end, if there's
injuries and they the biggest
291
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,400
concern that I might have is
that, you know, Diablo has been
292
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,900
banged up at times through his
career and that that's really my
293
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:34,900
bigger concern, but in terms of
just Frontline telling, I feel
294
00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:37,300
like we're, you know, we're
pretty solid there.
295
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:44,100
Yeah, I'ma be on this also
through tomorrow Connor and at
296
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:45,700
the nickel whip, whatever you
want to call.
297
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:49,900
Yeah that's definitely going to
get a plane to the puzzle there
298
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:53,300
because that position just as
much of a DB as it is a
299
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:55,200
linebacker.
Yeah.
300
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,900
And to me I'm because Divine and
him have shown in game, they can
301
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:03,600
just do it in and out.
Just good play In and Out
302
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:07,400
devils.
Look goodness spot chances but
303
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,100
now He's got to do it in and
out, week in week out.
304
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,700
I think the potential for him to
do, it's there, I really do.
305
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,500
But, you know, right now to me,
you mentioned Tyree Rogers.
306
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:23,600
Tyree Rogers is our only guy as
a back up again, duck, worries
307
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,700
me more than anything you're
going.
308
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:29,200
That's going to be a lot of my
talk about I'm depth because,
309
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,800
you know, it's just true that
you see teams and they're really
310
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,200
good.
And then one guy goes down and
311
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,800
it doesn't fall apart, but it
isn't what it could be.
312
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:38,900
Yeah.
I think that without some of our
313
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:42,200
defense has in the past where we
had a defense, we felt really
314
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,000
good about and neither, you
know, guy goes down with we have
315
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,400
that spell of like two or three
years in a row, we had to
316
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,100
lisfranc injuries that yeah,
completely derailed our defense
317
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:54,800
at key positions.
Yeah.
318
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:58,200
The other piece with this group
that I put it in a be enough to
319
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,300
be plus, is I think was in
Reggie.
320
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,300
I think his leadership skills on
there is another big piece to
321
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:09,400
me.
I'm going to throw one thing out
322
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,600
there and I want to see how you
feel about this, okay?
323
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,000
Didi Ferguson He's listed with
the linebacker group.
324
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:18,200
But if you look at this bill,
he's about 61 about 2:15.
325
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,100
I'm wondering if he is going to
get and he and I think he's a
326
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:24,900
redshirt freshman.
If my mom doesn't fail me.
327
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:28,600
I wonder if he's kind of moved
over to say, hey, let's try you
328
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,400
at Rover or sort of whip in
certain situations because of
329
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,900
his size and because of how the
linebacker positions looking We
330
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:40,200
also got can't coming out from
Duvall.
331
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:48,100
I think if it's projects plays
good people walk or talk is one
332
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:50,500
of those guys step up and become
that second death P.
333
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,400
I think he's redshirting unless
he comes in and blows it away,
334
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,200
it can't because it's going to
be very interesting piece this
335
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,800
year, no Spring ball.
The Freshman isn't have a chance
336
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,000
to come in and say, hey dude,
you're not ahead.
337
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:02,900
Nobody's ahead of you.
Yeah.
338
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:06,000
That's that's the big thing is
like, you know, there's going to
339
00:20:06,008 --> 00:20:07,600
be some positives in that in
depth.
340
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:10,900
Freshmen are going to get kind
of equal opportunity to really
341
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:14,100
go out there and show what
they've got conversely.
342
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:18,000
I mean the coaches are going to
have to spend more rep, seeing
343
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,700
what they have from from these
guys without, you know, without
344
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:26,500
knowing they're already solid
with some of the maturing guys
345
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:29,600
are already on the roster.
So it'll be interesting trying
346
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,300
to get settled that out and see
how that ends up impacting camp.
347
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:36,500
But I mean, the good news is
that it's not just us you know
348
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:40,900
everyone is The same situation
so it's not like it's something
349
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:45,700
that's a unique handicap for us.
So I think we'll see how it
350
00:20:45,708 --> 00:20:48,200
shakes out.
Like you said, I think things
351
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,800
like that.
Where position changes and try
352
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,500
and guys a different spots, you
may actually see less of that
353
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:58,900
just because we don't
necessarily have time to
354
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:02,100
experiment unless unless you've
got a guy that you already know
355
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:05,100
can handle that role.
Yeah for sure.
356
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:08,500
All right, well I kind of set up
what we're going to Into next
357
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:13,400
with Dean Ferguson because the
linebackers group a borderline
358
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,700
and a plus for me, I mean, we're
deep.
359
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,600
These guys are talented.
They all have on field
360
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,600
experience.
We have good leadership at this
361
00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:28,800
and the way I kind of feel about
it as we look at them, Brian.
362
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,700
And I'm going to let you kind of
go on this.
363
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:35,000
We have a chance to be so
dynamic because we have some
364
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,900
really Dynamic skill sets.
And, Backer between rook and
365
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:45,400
Dax.
And, you know, Barn Barn of
366
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:50,800
Tisdale and Keisha an artist.
I mean, this group today for me.
367
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,300
Yeah, day for me as well.
And those are the five that I
368
00:21:54,308 --> 00:21:56,300
highlighted as well.
Be the interesting thing is
369
00:21:56,300 --> 00:22:00,600
going to be, you know, I think
we're talking about, you know,
370
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,700
Richard acts, we're talking
about Keyshawn and Tisdale and
371
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:08,700
then we got Barner that's kind
of a I don't know what we're
372
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:11,300
going to do with them in terms.
I think he's going to be good
373
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:16,200
for depth, but I'm interested to
see if we get creative with how
374
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,900
we deploy him just because of
his, you know, length and size
375
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:24,200
and still ability to run around
pretty good too.
376
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,300
So let me admit run this.
Yeah.
377
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:29,600
Go back to Daddy's freshman
year.
378
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:32,200
Is that what you're thinking
with bar know what?
379
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,500
He's almost stand up like that,
he's got a whip position and
380
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:37,500
he's moving back and forth side
to side.
381
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,800
Whatever.
Wherever, the wherever the tight
382
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,600
end isn't he is?
Yeah, I think they could deploy
383
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,400
in the him in that way.
Absolutely just because he does
384
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,700
have that linked and in some
ways I mean with his he's
385
00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:54,500
actually longer than the what
Daddy was at that time.
386
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:59,800
I mean your daddy you similar in
size but you know, burners got a
387
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,800
little bit more length and like
I said, we've been moving to
388
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,600
some of that in terms of how we
recruiting pass rushers.
389
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,400
So it'll be interesting if
that's part of Of the puzzle as
390
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,600
well.
Yeah.
391
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,900
This group I feel, is there
going to be the linchpin on that
392
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:17,000
defense and I think having
Jackson Richard being the older
393
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,100
guys in the middle, you know,
and that said it in the thing.
394
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:26,300
They both lead different racial
Arts dog in taxes allowed.
395
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,100
I got a feeling when those two
guys bar at the rest of the
396
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:32,700
defense, they will listen.
And that's why I'm less
397
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:35,400
concerned about, as you said
earlier, with the Reggie,
398
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,200
departure, own terms of
leadership, I mean, Not only has
399
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,400
Diablo been doing the playing
that position in the secondary
400
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,600
for a while.
You know, we're starting to get
401
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,100
a lot more senior in the
secondary.
402
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:52,300
And I think with guys in the
middle like Dax and Richard, you
403
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:55,000
know, there's not going to be a
problem with with leadership
404
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,200
getting a lot, guys.
A line where they need to be
405
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,700
getting the assignments out
there, getting the calls out.
406
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:02,600
So I don't think that's going to
be a problem with those two on
407
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,600
the field plus Diablo, there in
the secondary great.
408
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:09,500
All right, Bronson Let's go to
the next group guys that you
409
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:11,100
block the lot.
What do you think of the
410
00:24:11,108 --> 00:24:13,100
defensive tackles for this
upcoming year?
411
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:17,900
I tell you, man, I feel really
good about the defensive tackles
412
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:21,900
and the big thing that we're
talking about right now is that
413
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:25,800
I felt the exact opposite this
time last year.
414
00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:31,100
I had no idea what to feel about
the defensive tackle position
415
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:36,100
going into going into Camp, last
year, going into spring practice
416
00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:39,800
last year because We're so so
thin.
417
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:44,300
And, you know, we had some, some
junior college guys, coming in.
418
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:45,900
All right.
So, the biggest thing that I
419
00:24:45,908 --> 00:24:50,700
like about this unit is going to
be the depth that we have.
420
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:54,500
And like I said, last year, I
was doing the complete opposite
421
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,200
frame of mind.
At this time of the year.
422
00:24:57,100 --> 00:25:01,500
You know, we had Jaden company
ham and Deshawn Crawford come in
423
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:04,100
and they really pay dividends
right out, the gate, just having
424
00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:07,600
their experience in there.
We got those.
425
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:10,600
Guys back this year.
So the other guys want to talk
426
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,100
about is no real Pollard.
I feel really good about his
427
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,100
production from year one and I
feel like we're going to get
428
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:19,000
some more out of him this year
but the but the guy that I'm
429
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,700
really high on is Josh fuga.
This guy's been a beast in the
430
00:25:23,708 --> 00:25:25,500
weight room.
This offseason.
431
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,800
He's been kind of attached to
the older guys at the hip and
432
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,800
just trying to soak in
everything and I think that's
433
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,100
going to pay dividends when we
come out this year.
434
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:41,900
I think he's We're going to be a
guy that if just rotationally
435
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:44,700
he's going to make some noise
just because of his size and
436
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:46,500
athleticism and what he brings
to the table.
437
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,700
Yeah, 100%.
I'm with you on the same Grade B
438
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:55,200
plus because of the depth human
and Crawford starting they're
439
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,400
solid, they're solid.
They do their jobs then last
440
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000
year you mentioned Paulo red
Mario Kendricks to the Freshman
441
00:26:02,100 --> 00:26:05,800
also has pretty good Open Season
and the one thing I want
442
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,000
everybody to remember out there
these Guys came in in July, they
443
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,100
weren't there in June January.
So they were doing that without
444
00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:16,300
College weight program.
Which is, I know, you know,
445
00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:19,600
Brian from doing it.
It's a big deal in these cases.
446
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:22,700
Absolutely wrong.
You mentioned fuka Cunningham.
447
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:25,400
Remember he played a few games,
but got banged up and was out.
448
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,100
Yep, but both those guys are
about to 305 range, so that
449
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:30,800
gives us some girth in the
middle.
450
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,000
We're playing more of a power
run team.
451
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,300
We might be mixing up them more
than the other guys.
452
00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:40,800
And you know, I love Charlie
Wiles.
453
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,200
Charlie was a great coach for
many years but I'm kind of
454
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,500
excited to see what Bill Turner
can do with this group because
455
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,600
they are more experiences.
There are some, you know,
456
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:54,700
there's some chances to be
dynamic in this group.
457
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:58,000
What about you?
Yeah, the biggest thing, I the
458
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,600
reason I'm high on most of these
defensive lineman is going to be
459
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,300
the coaching change.
And now the having the the depth
460
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:08,600
and the experience that we
didn't have Really the last two
461
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,900
years but in particular we've
had this problem for a bit so
462
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,200
I'm really excited to see what
he can do.
463
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,100
I think that that's going to be
where we see the most dividends
464
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:23,700
get paid off.
Is that you've got tear length?
465
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:28,700
It's going to be more of the guy
that is X's and O's can break
466
00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:31,200
things down.
Can bring some unique ways of
467
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,400
attacking the ovens of wine.
And then you got obviously tap
468
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,500
is going to play a role with
some of the inside guys, too.
469
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:39,000
But I think you he'll be a
You'll be more strictly
470
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,800
defensive ends but I think he'll
play a role with some of the
471
00:27:40,808 --> 00:27:44,200
inside guys, just because there
is that overlap and I think
472
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,100
those two guys just the work
ethic of cap and then the X's
473
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:51,600
and O's and just the the knowing
how to attack an offensive line,
474
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,300
with tear link is going to be a
really big combination.
475
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,800
It's and we're going to see
probably a big step in the
476
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,000
output from this unit.
Awesome.
477
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:01,300
All right.
Well we're going to move the
478
00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:05,300
defensive ends backs and help.
Maybe I should just change my
479
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:08,300
grade for this one just because
Darryl Tapp Is going to be
480
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:10,900
coaching up those guys to Abby,
but I've got it at a see.
481
00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:14,800
Don't don't hate me defensive
ends if you guys listen to this
482
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,200
or people that love these guys,
because first of all, one reason
483
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,900
is, we're already down to player
Devon beckton.
484
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,800
I hope this clears up quick, he
comes back.
485
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,100
You know, Emmanuel Belmar leader
of this group.
486
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,700
He doesn't blow you away with
everything, he's solid, he's
487
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:35,500
steady, which is sometimes what
you need.
488
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,400
But there's a couple guys.
Like, Zion, the Bose is missing
489
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,500
a huge opportunity to spring.
It really sucks for him.
490
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,500
Jalen Griffin showed some
flashes last year, but again, he
491
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:51,900
still transitioning.
But you know, and you've got Eli
492
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:56,900
Adams, some production.
He'll definitely have a role.
493
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,900
What do you think of this group?
What's your grade Brown?
494
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,200
All right, so for this unit, I'm
giving them a b and part of its
495
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,700
going to be B, we got an
additional year with these guys
496
00:29:11,900 --> 00:29:13,400
in the offseason.
I know we're not going to get us
497
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,200
a full spring here but they've
had a full mostly a full
498
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,800
offseason workout program and I
think they're going to get
499
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,000
better.
They're going to get stronger,
500
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,800
they're going to get faster and
you couple that like I said with
501
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,000
these coaching changes and I
feel like that's going to be a
502
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
recipe to just get some
additional fire out, though.
503
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,700
It gets some additional usage.
I mean you know we're talking
504
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:42,400
about Your Belmar garbage out
there, you got the leaders, but
505
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,000
then you also got, like you
said, Jalen Griffin showed some
506
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,900
flashes.
And I think the biggest thing
507
00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:52,100
coming in is Alec Bryant and how
they're going to deploy him.
508
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,000
Because I think he's at least
one of the guys that I think is
509
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,600
going to have potential, not to
take a redshirt year in 2020.
510
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,100
And I think that's because not
only is he going to pay some
511
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:09,100
dividends in terms of getting
After the quarterback because
512
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:12,600
he's got a good combination of
speed and size, but because he's
513
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,700
got that speed and size on
passing Downs.
514
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,000
You can slide him into a three
technique and let him rush the
515
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,300
passer from there.
So that's going to bring a whole
516
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:24,500
new element to what we do.
So I'm looking to add his
517
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:29,200
versatility coupled with, you
know, our veteran guys getting
518
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,300
an additional year in the system
and getting additional year in
519
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:35,700
the weight room.
And then just what we can really
520
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:38,100
deploy from a coaching
standpoint to really These guys,
521
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:42,000
after the quarterback better.
Yeah, and, and one guy you
522
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,900
mentioned in and I forgot to but
I think garment is really key
523
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:47,000
for this group this year.
If you remember last year, they
524
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,100
talked about how good a camp he
had and then he comes in the
525
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,100
first game of the year, he hurts
his collarbone against Boston
526
00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:57,900
College.
He comes back and plays, but you
527
00:30:57,900 --> 00:31:01,800
kind of wondered you played
against these guys and I think
528
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,100
about where the collarbone is
and I see what defensive ends
529
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:09,200
do, break your collarbone or you
know, Even fracture in a way.
530
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,500
How much is that going to hurt
you and what you do as a
531
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:15,200
defensive end?
And I really think he's going to
532
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,600
be a kick if he can stay
healthy, he always kind of like,
533
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:24,000
you know, lined up a little
wider than Bellmore and you love
534
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,800
Alec Bryant.
Yeah, yeah.
535
00:31:37,700 --> 00:31:40,200
Or not.
And, you know, maybe this group
536
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,700
is the group that just surprises
there again, my see group.
537
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:47,700
So, you know, yeah.
Like I said, I'm giving them a
538
00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:49,200
solid B.
And like I said, mainly it's
539
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,600
because of the coaching changes
and then, like I said, the, the
540
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,600
additional year of seasoning and
what ABI thing can bring the
541
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,200
table.
And I mean, that's not no
542
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,700
discount to the other two guys
that are coming in for us.
543
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:05,600
But I just think in terms of
instant impact, you know, Alec
544
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,200
Bryant because of his
versatility and sighs right out
545
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,200
the gate.
Just kind of gives us a little
546
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,900
more where I think with guys
already somewhat entrenched.
547
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,200
He's the only guy that's going
to kind of break through that
548
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,500
that ceiling right away.
Very all right, I'm going to set
549
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:22,200
up one for you, man.
We're going to move over to the
550
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,500
offense, your bread and butter.
Give me your grade on the 0
551
00:32:25,508 --> 00:32:28,200
line, 0 line.
So you're probably going to be
552
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:34,600
surprised that this one I'm
going a - whoo and okay don't
553
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,700
don't take that harshly
offensive lineman that's I'm
554
00:32:37,708 --> 00:32:41,500
giving you a compliment here.
You have the most unique and
555
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:46,100
good problem that you can have.
You've got about nine guys that
556
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:50,000
potentially could start.
And now the problem that we have
557
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,800
is that we got to get not only
the most talented 5 out there
558
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,700
but those were astounded.
Five need to gel in a way that
559
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,000
the guys from last year were
able to do down the stretch and
560
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,200
how our running game started.
Opening up a whole lot more down
561
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,900
the stretch and you're having to
do that with With now, no spring
562
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:13,500
practice those spring game and
potentially a protracted
563
00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:16,900
offseason.
So that's going to be my only
564
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:18,900
concern and that's why I went a
minus here.
565
00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:23,700
It, you know, when you're
talking about like cornerback or
566
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:25,700
safety.
Yeah.
567
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:29,400
There's some, you know,
reciprocation between the units
568
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,300
there but more or less your kind
of, you know, you take care of
569
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:35,200
your business there.
Buddy else takes care of their
570
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,200
business often.
One.
571
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,200
It's got to work as one complete
unit at all times.
572
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,300
And if any one player is not
where they need to be, even if
573
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:50,300
everybody else is doing their
job, the play gets blown up.
574
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,300
So until we see how that gels
and how, you know who's going to
575
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:57,800
be playing centers?
And we playing, like I feel like
576
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:03,200
tackles are more or less set
depending on what happens at
577
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,600
right tackle.
But the interior it could be You
578
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,400
know, four or five different
potential scenarios there and
579
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,400
depending on what those
scenarios are, we could be
580
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,300
having one of the guys that
started, you know, 10 plus games
581
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:21,199
last year and up redshirting,
just because we don't need nine
582
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:27,000
or ten lineman every week.
So, you know, that's the big
583
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,300
thing for me and that's why when
a - I just think, I think this
584
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:33,699
unit is going to be great.
I just don't know, if it's all
585
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:37,400
going to come together fast
enough for them to be, you know.
586
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,400
All-time great offensive line
for the Hokies got you.
587
00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:46,300
Now, I just want a plus, you
know, but what I see is, you
588
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:49,400
said it, we're not needed more
deep than that.
589
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,600
We also have versatile guys who
can play a number of positions.
590
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,100
Again, that means a lot to me.
You've got, you've already got a
591
00:34:56,100 --> 00:35:00,600
couple of all Americans with
Dara saw and what Hudson was an
592
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,900
All-American last year.
Nestor along with Mike Hoffman.
593
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:07,200
Just you keep name and you're
like, yep, good blind and good
594
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,900
line.
Good alignment, but I get what
595
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:10,900
you're saying, where they need
to jail, they were missing
596
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,700
spring.
So there's a prime opportunity
597
00:35:13,700 --> 00:35:18,100
to get him an opportunity to
jail, but also think with it
598
00:35:18,100 --> 00:35:21,300
offensive line group, maybe they
just getting out there doing
599
00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:26,300
some sets together, not about
with the coaches but hopefully,
600
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:30,400
that can happen.
But I know I miss, I know, I
601
00:35:30,408 --> 00:35:34,500
miss we've missed some guys that
on the line that could possibly
602
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:37,400
start.
I think.
603
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:42,500
Whoever the 5r run, I think this
group has Joe more potential.
604
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,500
I think at the end of the year
we could see them on that list
605
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:49,300
to say this is the best
offensive line in college
606
00:35:49,300 --> 00:35:53,000
football.
Now, also the nerd fan in me, I
607
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,300
want to see some games where I
up like 3510 at the end and our
608
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:02,800
coaches get drunk and say it's
called an eight-man offensive
609
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,500
line set with Quincy at
quarterback.
610
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:07,200
And just just let's just break
somebody's will and make them
611
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,400
cry.
A on the field.
612
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,200
There we go.
I like the sound of that that,
613
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,100
you know, I always remember
back.
614
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:16,300
Do you remember the Duke game
when she's first year?
615
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:20,600
And we were up like five and
he's like, six minutes to go in
616
00:36:20,607 --> 00:36:22,900
the game.
And literally the way we pushed
617
00:36:22,900 --> 00:36:25,500
and ran the ball, and you can
just see them when it got to
618
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:28,700
like two minutes and they're
like, yeah, even this fall back.
619
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:31,600
Yeah, I was at that game.
So I remember that will give you
620
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,000
a Jacob down there, man.
You just see.
621
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,200
A will get snapped and it's just
like that's what Have lunch and
622
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,400
do, yeah, you have no idea
because that game was kind of
623
00:36:41,408 --> 00:36:44,800
tight.
Most of the way, the amount of
624
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,000
energy they got sucked out of
that stadium in that drive was
625
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
impressive.
Like, you could just feel it
626
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,500
just slowly drain as the drive
went on and on and on.
627
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,000
All right, where do you want to
go next?
628
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,500
Brian.
All right.
629
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:00,600
Where we heading?
Where we had?
630
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,700
We going to go, let's see, tell
me what you think about wide
631
00:37:03,700 --> 00:37:05,300
receivers.
Oh, man.
632
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,800
I'm gonna give him a big.
Okay.
633
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,300
Clearly, Trey Turner is becoming
the leader, the lead wolf of
634
00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:15,800
this pack.
I mean, you can say it.
635
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,500
How you can see how the guys
respect in, which is the big
636
00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:23,400
thing to have to have a lead dog
with wide receivers.
637
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,100
You need the Alpha Chi box.
They're going to listen, I get a
638
00:37:26,107 --> 00:37:31,600
Feelin but also be coming back
with Tavian Robinson, but the
639
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,400
reason I give Abby is there's a
lot of unknown after that you
640
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,500
know, with Hayes and has he
both, you know, entering the
641
00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:37,600
port?
Little Haze heading, the
642
00:37:37,607 --> 00:37:39,600
Missouri has the.
I don't know if he's landed
643
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,800
anywhere but it looks like he
was heading somewhere on the
644
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,800
peninsula to play.
You know, don't get me wrong.
645
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:49,700
It's a chance for these young
guys to come out there and they
646
00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:51,600
don't get spring.
We've said it numerous times and
647
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,100
we probably got to continue to
say it because we're not going
648
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:56,800
to get that opportunity to see
who separates themselves.
649
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:02,500
You know, we do have Caleb Smith
who definitely I think he had
650
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:05,700
not Hurtin catches last year,
which is solid for a guy in a
651
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,200
red shirt freshman Here, I'm
also seeing definitely Big,
652
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,500
Stone Gap himself will be
supporting this group in ways
653
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:16,300
because he's at burst of of a
player.
654
00:38:16,500 --> 00:38:20,100
What about you?
So four wide receivers.
655
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:23,900
I'm going to go be as well, the
concerns being very similar to
656
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:25,800
yours.
We're talking about two guys
657
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,500
leaving that you had significant
amount of snaps last year.
658
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:34,300
You know, coupling that with a
couple of unknown factors, but
659
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:37,600
the reason that I'm still
feeling pretty good, And yes,
660
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,100
some of us got to do with the
front end.
661
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:42,900
We got trade Tammy on you know
trained up.
662
00:38:42,900 --> 00:38:46,300
He's got people's money, money
back from Virginia Tech parking.
663
00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:49,900
So you can do that.
You can do anything, he can beat
664
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:55,100
Any Corner if he beat that any
corner and you know obviously
665
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:59,700
Tavian Robinson had a great
freshman year and I'm looking
666
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:02,200
for him to just grow more into
that role especially now that
667
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,000
he's going to be more of a you
know, outside guys and versus In
668
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,600
from the Florida.
Feel like you got Jaden through
669
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,400
redshirted last year.
I think he's going to be kind of
670
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,100
take on that slot role and what
you're not talking about, but
671
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:19,700
what I'm he's going to be a
theme of my offense here.
672
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:26,600
When we're talking about skill
position Rahim Blackshear, what
673
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,900
Rahe Blackshear can do is going
to impress, you.
674
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:35,500
And he's pretty much a de facto
number four wide receiver.
675
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,700
On top of being Depth in our
running back room.
676
00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:44,000
So I'm looking for those guys,
I'm looking for, as you said,
677
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,800
Big Stone Gap jeans, Mitchell
working outside a lot.
678
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:55,900
I like, Bucky not probably not
quite as out there exclusively
679
00:39:55,900 --> 00:40:00,200
like Bucky was and in twenties
first year but definitely
680
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,900
working outside on the regular
and something, nobody's talking
681
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:06,700
about a lot.
But I mean, I like this tape and
682
00:40:06,700 --> 00:40:10,500
I'm Like all the things I've
seen look for dalen, right?
683
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:15,400
Maybe make some noise early on
just because of his ability to
684
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:20,400
work inside and outside and he
has the entire route tree
685
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,800
already at his disposal.
I think he could definitely from
686
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,300
day one coming and maybe be a
contributor even if it's just a
687
00:40:26,308 --> 00:40:31,200
guy that you know is coming in
to give you a tray or Tay a
688
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,500
spell or somebody working in the
slide if we're working with you
689
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:36,600
we got James at tight end.
Somebody else.
690
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:39,900
To work in the slot so look for
him to do stuff like that.
691
00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:42,600
Yeah the Jaden field I got it
wrote down.
692
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,200
I think he's the breakout could
be the breakout guy and make
693
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,700
this group even bruschetta
bruschetta that speed if nothing
694
00:40:48,700 --> 00:40:53,500
else him running, you know, just
go routes or running deep posts
695
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:56,700
or just getting the ball in his
hands at the line of scrimmage.
696
00:40:57,500 --> 00:41:00,300
You saw it.
He, he, I think he won like the
697
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:04,500
60 meter dash at the vhsl track
and field games last year.
698
00:41:04,500 --> 00:41:08,000
And dude can fall I do if you
Him some room.
699
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:13,000
Watch out.
So in again, I think, I think I
700
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,300
mentioned this in a couple
episodes ago.
701
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:18,800
I think Jane redshirted last
year, was more of from heating
702
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,400
to learn the wide receiver
position.
703
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:23,700
He's fast, that's great.
He probably knows how to run
704
00:41:23,700 --> 00:41:26,300
these routes, but he plays
quarterback in high school.
705
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,000
We're just going to get a
transition and maybe we see the
706
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,700
dividends of him, taking that
full season and just getting
707
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:35,600
better and better and better
can, you know, game against the
708
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,600
seven states.
He runs a deep post, just blows
709
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,400
by the safety of others by the
corner of 60 yards.
710
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,800
Touchdown, maybe maybe not.
Alright, so we've mentioned, Big
711
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,400
Stone Gap, a couple times.
What's your, what's your, a
712
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,300
great on the tight end units.
All right, I'm given tight ends
713
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:56,100
a beat.
I like I like what they're
714
00:41:56,100 --> 00:42:00,000
bringing to the table here.
Obviously, you know, elephant in
715
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,000
the room Dawn keen and to the
NFL.
716
00:42:04,300 --> 00:42:07,300
But I think combining that with
big No Gap.
717
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:10,300
And then what?
I think, Nick de gallo and and
718
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:15,100
Drake can do.
I feel like Drake and Nick can
719
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:19,200
kind of between the two of them,
take up and do most of the
720
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,400
things that the Dalton was
doing?
721
00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:27,700
I think James is primed to have
a huge year, monster year, and
722
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,000
because I think he is going to
get some more of those touches
723
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,900
that that we saw going to Dalton
whether it be in the screen
724
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:38,000
game, whether it be, you know,
those Red Zone routes that
725
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,300
typically went to Dalton in a
lot of cases, I think James is
726
00:42:42,308 --> 00:42:45,000
going to take over some of that
but I think, you know, from a
727
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,100
blocking standpoint, I think
Nick can do a lot of the things
728
00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:51,900
that don't was able to do from
inline perspective.
729
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:56,500
And I think that Drake doing the
HVAC stuff is really going to be
730
00:42:57,100 --> 00:42:59,800
the dividend that pays off the
most because of, yeah, he'll be
731
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,800
able to get outside and block.
Well, and that was something
732
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,600
that Dalton did really.
Well, was blocking the space
733
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:08,600
block is Lead versus blocking in
line.
734
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,800
So I think you're going to see
some of that get taken up by
735
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,200
Drake, and I think he should, he
should step into that role
736
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,500
pretty well.
And I think pass-catching, I
737
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:18,400
think Drake will do okay?
And I think James is going to
738
00:43:18,408 --> 00:43:20,900
just take on a bigger role in
that in that regard.
739
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,100
Yeah, I'm a b-plus on this.
I'm a little bit higher because
740
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:27,100
I think what you kind of live,
everything you said, I think the
741
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:32,000
combination can get us can
replace Dalton lose you.
742
00:43:32,008 --> 00:43:35,800
A little bit of your versatility
but you saw Gallo last year and
743
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,100
how it got later.
ER, and his blocks you, he's
744
00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:40,900
built Silo.
Thank you 64. 250, he's built
745
00:43:40,900 --> 00:43:44,000
good Drake.
Remembers was the higher guy
746
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,900
coming out when him and Dalton
both came in?
747
00:43:49,300 --> 00:43:53,900
So I think this is his chance to
shine and clearly James is a
748
00:43:53,900 --> 00:43:55,600
little everything.
He's gonna play The Joker tight
749
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,400
end position.
He's going to play the outside
750
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,700
for the receiver group, but he
can block, you know, and you saw
751
00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:05,500
him run some of those interior.
The the inside, the five sweeps,
752
00:44:05,500 --> 00:44:09,200
which case, Got blown up but he
did score some touchdowns off of
753
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,600
them.
Yeah it's his versatility.
754
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:16,400
So when you see him live in that
sort of HVAC role like right off
755
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:22,000
the shoulder of the right tackle
or the left tackle he's not
756
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,300
going to.
He's going to run some route.
757
00:44:23,300 --> 00:44:25,300
Well what'd he say what if he
gets the sweep?
758
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:27,900
Is he can we get to him fast?
Nothing.
759
00:44:27,900 --> 00:44:29,800
Is it going to be a big enough
guy to take him down?
760
00:44:30,500 --> 00:44:33,700
And that's why I put this at A
to B +.
761
00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:36,500
All right, Brian quarterback
room.
762
00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:38,800
Guys, you protected where you
going with them?
763
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,300
Well, we finished the year
pretty strong last year.
764
00:44:43,300 --> 00:44:46,100
So I'm going to go with the
solid solid b-plus.
765
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:49,600
I think there's room for growth
and that's why we need for us.
766
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,500
I think you for just talking
depth, you would be an A+
767
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,000
because I feel like we've got a
great number one.
768
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,800
And then, as solid as two guys
behind him, as you could
769
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,500
probably find anywhere.
With Quincy and with with
770
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:10,400
Braxton.
So and I think just from a, from
771
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,800
a top in one, I mean, I think
hendon's the guy I love his
772
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,400
leadership.
That's the biggest thing that I
773
00:45:15,408 --> 00:45:18,300
like about him and hooker, if he
gets on the field, He commands
774
00:45:18,300 --> 00:45:20,600
the Huddle.
And that's what you need.
775
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:25,700
And if he can take just, you
know, a couple steps in terms of
776
00:45:25,700 --> 00:45:28,400
consistency with his passes.
I think he can make all the
777
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:29,800
throws.
That's not, that's not the
778
00:45:29,808 --> 00:45:33,700
concern but just being a little
more consistent with making the
779
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:37,200
Visions.
A little quicker and a little
780
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,500
bit more accurate with the
football, when delivering it in
781
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:43,500
the, in the intermediate range,
I think you really take the next
782
00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:44,800
step.
So that's what I'm looking for.
783
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,000
And that's why I wouldn't be
plus.
784
00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:48,500
All right.
Okay, Brian, I'm gonna, I'm
785
00:45:48,508 --> 00:45:51,100
gonna give my grandma.
Won't you to ask me?
786
00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:53,800
Why did I go there?
A poke.
787
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,700
Hey plus.
All right, give me a rundown.
788
00:45:57,700 --> 00:45:59,700
Then give me a rundown - you
question.
789
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,300
How many other schools in the
country?
790
00:46:01,300 --> 00:46:03,400
Can say they've had three
quarterbacks when a division,
791
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:04,300
one football.
Ball game.
792
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,200
Very few, very few men, very
won't make any with.
793
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,800
And that's what we have here.
You have tendon Who won six
794
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,600
games, Burmeister out at Oregon,
wanted some games, Quincy won
795
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:21,500
game one, the Carolina, one, the
Carolina game and you said it
796
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:25,000
hookers the man, but having
those two good backups like
797
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,300
them, tell me if you're an
offensive play caller, are you
798
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:32,200
going to fear like running an
offense?
799
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,600
Like, I can't do this.
I might get hooker banged up.
800
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,600
So no, you're not, you're not
worried about that and I think
801
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,700
that other thing is that you're
not worried about you having to
802
00:46:41,700 --> 00:46:45,100
completely blow up your
playbook, if your backup comes
803
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:46,900
in.
And I think that's that's
804
00:46:46,900 --> 00:46:49,400
something that people don't talk
about enough is that?
805
00:46:49,700 --> 00:46:52,700
Yeah, I think will cater some
play-calling towards Quincy or
806
00:46:52,707 --> 00:46:56,400
towards Braxton if he comes in,
but most of the plays that we
807
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,300
run or still going to be on the
table if finding gets injured.
808
00:47:00,300 --> 00:47:04,400
So that's a big thing,
especially if there's a mid-game
809
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,900
injury.
So, You know, not having time to
810
00:47:06,900 --> 00:47:09,000
prepare and set up for what
you're going to do.
811
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:11,200
You know, Quincy comes in here.
We're probably going to go a
812
00:47:11,207 --> 00:47:14,900
little bit more power, run
heavy, but he can still make all
813
00:47:14,900 --> 00:47:17,600
the throws.
He can still do all the things
814
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,000
that they've hidden can do and
then you can talk talk Braxton.
815
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,600
I mean, there's talking about
him being the best athlete of
816
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,600
the three of them.
Which crazy mean the thought of
817
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,400
that is kind of insane.
So, you know, I don't think
818
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,600
we're going to, you know, when
you're when either these guys
819
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,200
come in you're not.
About losing plays from your
820
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,500
playbook and that's the most
important thing with the backup
821
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:44,400
is being able to essentially do
what you do, even when your top
822
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,900
guys not in there.
And that's another reason I gave
823
00:47:46,900 --> 00:47:50,600
it the A+, they can do the same
place, but they all have a
824
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,000
little different skillset you
talk about Braxton being the
825
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,600
best athlete, and you can see
what some of his soul and reads,
826
00:47:56,100 --> 00:48:00,600
his quickness to make that step.
It's faster than Hendon of
827
00:48:00,607 --> 00:48:02,800
Hendon.
Has got a pretty quick step and
828
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:03,900
it's clearly kind of
frequencies.
829
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,600
But I will go back to the
Carolina game.
830
00:48:05,700 --> 00:48:08,900
Mmmmm.
And if you remember how they had
831
00:48:08,900 --> 00:48:11,700
a change up the game plan a
little bit, something like have
832
00:48:11,700 --> 00:48:13,000
happens in Game.
Did Carolina.
833
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Look like they were ready for a
power running QB.
834
00:48:15,700 --> 00:48:18,200
No, no, no.
So what that happens is if
835
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,900
you're that defense Miss again,
so I'm going a plus, I'll member
836
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:24,400
my teachers and well he's got a
decent arm but he runs his own
837
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,900
reads.
We better get to the edge quick
838
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:32,600
or as you know from playing to
can't think that way because I'm
839
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,200
sure you from coaching and
playing something changes on the
840
00:48:35,207 --> 00:48:36,800
team.
Like, hey guys, were going to do
841
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,900
this coach, you didn't tell us
this all week.
842
00:48:40,900 --> 00:48:42,100
What are we supposed to do
again?
843
00:48:42,700 --> 00:48:45,500
You know, being in game?
You can't make flies like that
844
00:48:45,500 --> 00:48:50,900
not in one quarter, you know?
So that's why I'm going a plus.
845
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,400
All right.
Last night, fun times, fun
846
00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:00,000
times, running backs.
And guys, please Curtis what you
847
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:07,200
get the I'm going to go D, Plus
Okay, yeah, I just worried that
848
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,900
this group.
So how are you worried about
849
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:13,700
them?
And I hope all these guys proved
850
00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:17,400
me wrong.
We lost the only guy who has
851
00:49:17,900 --> 00:49:20,900
proven effective in losing the
show mcleese.
852
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,100
You know, I worry about Herbert
coming in with the, you know, he
853
00:49:26,100 --> 00:49:29,300
came primarily from a pistol.
Now we're going out of shotgun.
854
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:34,900
I'm worried about that, he's
explosive my gosh, but I just
855
00:49:34,900 --> 00:49:37,700
worry about those new laws
changes and it does it take away
856
00:49:37,700 --> 00:49:42,000
from what he does.
Great, you keep talking black
857
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,900
shit, you love him.
I can't Factor men because the
858
00:49:44,900 --> 00:49:47,900
NCAA hates the Hokies, they will
find a way to not.
859
00:49:47,900 --> 00:49:53,400
Let him get his waiver because
I'll say this if he was already
860
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,900
approved and I hope it doesn't
break in the next two hours.
861
00:49:57,900 --> 00:49:59,700
I'll totally go see plus with
this group.
862
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,800
Okay, what are you at?
Golly, you kind of gave me the
863
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,500
news good news for where are you
where you put it?
864
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,900
If I had to put a number grade
on, I go 82.
865
00:50:09,900 --> 00:50:13,600
So I'm somewhere between like
Abby and Abby - it was a big and
866
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,800
yeah.
So so here's what we got and you
867
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,100
know, it's coming, you've
already kind of prefaced it.
868
00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:24,100
But, you know, the two words I
will say is Raheem Blackshear.
869
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:27,800
And the biggest thing I'm gonna
say is coaching change.
870
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,700
So if that doesn't get approved
and the NCAA truly does hate the
871
00:50:30,700 --> 00:50:34,300
Hokies.
So I'm Kendra he blacks years,
872
00:50:34,300 --> 00:50:37,400
fully a part of this unit
integrated full .
873
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:42,200
So, with that being said, this
guy can do it all.
874
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,100
And I'm really excited to see
what you can do with this
875
00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:46,800
offense.
Biggest things are going to be
876
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,400
the screen game that's going to
pick up significantly.
877
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:54,800
This guy working in space is
impressive and the fact that
878
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,200
we're going to have him on the
field plus C.
879
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:01,700
Not as much as I was hoping for
probably but should see some
880
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:06,000
progression with he Chongqing
from the offseason.
881
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,200
You couple that with the
experience and just the bull
882
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,700
bag, downhill threat.
That that Herbert is I just feel
883
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:17,600
like this unit is probably going
to be the unit that everyone's
884
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,900
going to under rate is going to
be really shocked to see what
885
00:51:20,900 --> 00:51:22,400
their actual output is going to
be.
886
00:51:22,900 --> 00:51:25,800
Especially if you take it from
an all-purpose yards from from
887
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,700
people with the label are be
next to their name, okay.
888
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:29,900
I don't know.
That's fair enough.
889
00:51:29,900 --> 00:51:33,600
You're going to go out and see
one guy get 1,000 yards, but I
890
00:51:33,607 --> 00:51:38,200
think the combination of their
output Put from those three guys
891
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,900
plus anybody else that
contributes is going to be
892
00:51:40,900 --> 00:51:43,500
really good from a running
perspective and but I think in
893
00:51:43,500 --> 00:51:47,000
terms of the receiving yards
that you see from that position
894
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,100
that's going to go up
significantly and that's where
895
00:51:49,100 --> 00:51:51,600
the big gains are going to be.
Yeah, well you know, the other
896
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,700
reason, my letter grade soul is
because of the coach at this
897
00:51:54,700 --> 00:51:57,900
position at him, like him Berg.
He's running backs.
898
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,500
I want this group to prove me
wrong.
899
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,100
I want this group at the end of
the year to have so many yards
900
00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:10,800
and touchdowns That, you know,
it's it makes this look silly to
901
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:15,500
me in one guy that I think you
mentioned him.
902
00:52:15,500 --> 00:52:18,500
I think he's Sean kinky flashed.
He showed some of that David
903
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:22,900
Wilson that just makes chill.
If you're a hockey fan, and if
904
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:27,100
he grows again, he was a true
freshman last year and that's
905
00:52:27,100 --> 00:52:30,300
one thing I love about saying
about so many groups has he was
906
00:52:30,300 --> 00:52:33,200
a true freshman.
He didn't get any time in the
907
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,500
offseason or in a weight
training program.
908
00:52:35,900 --> 00:52:40,000
So I really I really hope this
group proves me wrong.
909
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,800
I feel like you're on that
optimistic side where I usually
910
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:47,700
am and you know well you gotta
think about it.
911
00:52:48,300 --> 00:52:50,100
What grade would you give the
offensive line?
912
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,200
A-Plus.
Yeah, I gave me - so they're
913
00:52:55,200 --> 00:53:00,100
running behind a good offensive
line, so you don't have to be a
914
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:03,200
rocket scientist to at least do
pretty well behind a good
915
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,200
offensive line.
Now, love it a great running
916
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,800
back is going to take that to
the nth degree, but a good
917
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,100
running back is going to be able
to be very, very productive
918
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,700
because you know, some of the
works done for them.
919
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,700
They've got a whole they got a
cutback lane.
920
00:53:20,100 --> 00:53:21,200
They've got guys that are in the
right.
921
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,900
Place that at least all they got
to do is get up in the hole and
922
00:53:23,900 --> 00:53:26,700
maybe break a tackle.
So, I mean, you know, things are
923
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:30,600
setting up where, as long as
we're not vanilla with the play
924
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:37,000
calling to a degree that hurts
us which, you know, we've had
925
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,100
some quality squabbles about
that as well, but I think that
926
00:53:41,100 --> 00:53:42,800
things are going to be a little
bit better than we were
927
00:53:42,808 --> 00:53:46,800
anticipating from a running back
room perspective, from all
928
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:52,000
right, so Hokie nation that
wraps up our great Positional
929
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,900
units as of what was supposed to
be the day before spring
930
00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:59,200
practice starts.
So we're going to put out a
931
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:04,300
Twitter poll and this is what
we're going to ask what position
932
00:54:04,300 --> 00:54:07,400
group of these four will be the
difference in 2020.
933
00:54:08,300 --> 00:54:13,100
The running backs and wide
receivers the defensive ends for
934
00:54:13,100 --> 00:54:16,800
the safeties.
Now you guys notice these were
935
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,900
our highest-rated groups.
These actually kind of looking
936
00:54:19,900 --> 00:54:21,200
at all up.
These are eyes.
937
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,600
It's that collectively rated
lower.
938
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:28,200
So which of these groups that we
think, you know we didn't put
939
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,600
the best grades own.
What do you who do you think's
940
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,800
going to step up?
And say that group, right there,
941
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,200
they're going to take Leaps and
Bounds steps and they're going
942
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,100
to be the going to make
difference in 2020.
943
00:54:40,100 --> 00:54:42,900
You like it, Brian.
I like it.
944
00:54:42,900 --> 00:54:44,700
And, you know, it's kind of
interesting because if we had
945
00:54:44,700 --> 00:54:48,400
had the same poll last year, you
wouldn't see wide receivers or
946
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,900
safety is probably in this
category.
947
00:54:52,300 --> 00:54:53,800
No.
But here they are.
948
00:54:54,300 --> 00:54:56,500
So and you know what's funny,
what a year does.
949
00:54:56,500 --> 00:54:59,300
And I think the biggest thing
with the safeties is that, you
950
00:54:59,300 --> 00:55:03,700
know, we're inserting a new
starter, and we don't know what
951
00:55:03,700 --> 00:55:06,500
that looks like yet.
We know what he can do game by
952
00:55:06,500 --> 00:55:08,200
game when we don't know what he
can do.
953
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,800
When you put stack a bunch of
games back to back and then with
954
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,000
wide receiver you got one of
your top receivers entering the
955
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,200
portal and another veteran.
That's kind of has been the
956
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,200
leader on that unit up until
this.
957
00:55:21,300 --> 00:55:25,000
Point also step away.
So yeah, it's amazing.
958
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,200
The changes a year makes even
though, you know, I think the
959
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:33,000
safeties probably maybe met
their goal last year and they
960
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,100
weren't any better than then.
We expect you but I think they
961
00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:38,900
were right there at our
expectations.
962
00:55:38,900 --> 00:55:43,000
I think wide receiver probably
under achieved on the whole as
963
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,300
terms of what we thought they
would be last year, but I think
964
00:55:46,300 --> 00:55:48,000
they definitely have room to
room to grow.
965
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,800
So I think that's why they're on
the list right now.
966
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,900
And you know what?
There's One group that would
967
00:55:51,900 --> 00:55:54,000
have been on this whole.
If we had done this last year,
968
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,300
that would been defensive
tackles and yeah, would have
969
00:55:56,300 --> 00:55:58,900
both rated them somewhere
between, I'm going to say a CMD
970
00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:03,900
+ and that group completely
overshot, their expectations is
971
00:56:03,900 --> 00:56:07,000
absolutely awesome.
Are we missing anything?
972
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,800
But the Glee Club anything.
You know, I can happen.
973
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,500
I'm sure we flop something but
I'll wait for the listeners to
974
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:18,500
call us out on that, alright?
Alright.
975
00:56:18,500 --> 00:56:21,200
So folks that's going to wrap up
this episode.

Buddy day 5 quarantine.
Oh man, how's it going to your
9
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:22,300
house?
You got a decent setup.
10
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:24,400
I've got a monitor, I've got my
laptop.
11
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,200
I'm I'm almost business as usual
every day.
12
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,200
You know me and Brian said In
the past, my wife's a teacher.
13
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,100
So she's teaching our two sons,
she's got little lessons little
14
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:40,500
things, every day for them, we
go outside and play, we eat
15
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:46,000
dinner, you know, I lost going
pretty well.
16
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,200
How about you guys not to bad?
Probably a little bit of the
17
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,100
same, to be honest.
I don't quite have the setup,
18
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,000
you do.
I'm at the dining room table,
19
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:59,800
most of the day, which is
comfortable for the most part in
20
00:01:59,808 --> 00:02:04,400
terms of Working.
But the actual seat itself.
21
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,400
You know, your boy gets up in
the afternoon and all the things
22
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,900
like, oh man, I need to walk
around and stretch for a little
23
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,300
bit here.
It's not that comfortable.
24
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:14,200
But other than that, I'm doing.
All right.
25
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,800
Like like you said my wife's a
teacher to so she's got little
26
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,900
lessons going on for my son and
you're mixing that in with some
27
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
some fun stuff and mix them with
some some time outside.
28
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,400
So at least we had some nice
weather the last couple days so
29
00:02:27,408 --> 00:02:29,900
that's made a little bit more
manageable.
30
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,100
Oh I Absolutely gorgeous.
Weather you know what sucks
31
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:37,700
right now about doing this
podcast today is Broad.
32
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,200
You're supposed to you're going
to shoot over to the house.
33
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,800
Today, we're going to do a
face-to-face recording session.
34
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,500
They were going to head up to
Hurley's, and grab beer and
35
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:52,300
wings and watch the madness.
And, you know how things in the
36
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:56,700
last 10 days have just
absolutely, you know, changed in
37
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:02,300
this world.
So that's the Yeah, Wednesday
38
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:04,600
last week we invite you guys to
join us today.
39
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,700
And you know now we're talking
about literally right after we
40
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:09,700
drop that the world completely
change.
41
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:15,100
So you know, we're dealing here,
but it is a sad day that, you
42
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:17,500
know, this day is one of the
days that we kind of look
43
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:20,600
forward to every year and, you
know, that's been taken from us
44
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,200
a bit but obviously, under, you
know, understandable
45
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,900
circumstances here but
absolutely, no, you feel bad
46
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:30,800
that you're missing out on it,
you feel bad, and you feel bad
47
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,300
for The bars and the
restaurants, especially, you
48
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:35,900
know, we were going to go to
Hurley's.
49
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:41,100
And, you know, I was I was
watching channel 12 news today
50
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:43,500
and they were talking to whole
team Who's down the fans and got
51
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:45,800
talked about how marches one of
their biggest months.
52
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,800
And, you know, you feel for
those guys because this is the
53
00:03:48,808 --> 00:03:51,400
fun times, man, if you remember
last year Harley's, I think
54
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,100
about 20, people of our group
came out, which is decent
55
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,500
number.
But when we left, we're going
56
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:58,100
through the bar area.
Oh, yeah.
57
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Excuse me.
Oh God.
58
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:03,700
Over.
Yeah, tell me that's that's
59
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:06,100
that's the crew did not.
We usually we like to start
60
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:07,900
early.
We usually take the day off and
61
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,900
show up at noon, get some food
by the time, the first game tips
62
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:14,300
off, you know, we've got a beer
in hand.
63
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:18,100
Sometimes we got a nap in hand
and we just kick back for about
64
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:21,500
five hours and just watch all
these early games and, you know,
65
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:24,500
hang out and everything.
So that's kind of our role is
66
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,600
usually by the time we leave,
that's when the rest of the work
67
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,200
crowd.
Showing up to do the same thing
68
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,500
we've been doing for Five hours.
So it's it's crazy.
69
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,800
You know, it's wall-to-wall and
it's sad that they're going to
70
00:04:36,808 --> 00:04:40,200
miss out on all that business.
And, you know, speaking of
71
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,800
Hurley's to shout out to
hourlies for always being such a
72
00:04:43,808 --> 00:04:46,800
good host for us.
And we've been doing that at
73
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,200
their spot for at least six plus
years now.
74
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,100
So, you know, and we've never
thought one day about changing
75
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,000
it.
So it's the, it's the place to
76
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,900
be and they're still doing
delivery.
77
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,600
And take out will pick up
orders.
78
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,700
So sir, anybody you guys in the
RV a area, want some good food,
79
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:10,200
some wings, some burgers,
definitely check them out.
80
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,000
Yeah yeah right I got nothing
this week.
81
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,600
We got Tavern burgers and wings
on Tuesday night from there
82
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,100
because because me and my wife
both needed that fixed because
83
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:21,500
this is our normal.
We ramp up and go there more
84
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:27,300
than a few times in the spring.
But in general guys, listening
85
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:30,500
out there wherever you may be
our VA whatever part of the
86
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:33,600
world, you Maybe.
And if you're not on full
87
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,900
lockdown, local establishments,
such as that support on most of
88
00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:40,800
these guys are doing delivery
and curbside.
89
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,100
You know, the waitress that came
out and delivered hours, she's
90
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:47,300
coming out and, like, gloves and
it's like, you don't have to
91
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:51,500
sign your receipt or anything,
but, you know, of course, I
92
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:54,200
didn't let the pretty generous
tip because this is their
93
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,300
livelihood, but go out and
support those places.
94
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:00,100
I think me and my wife is
discuss tonight or tomorrow.
95
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:02,200
We're probably going to get
Livery from one of the local
96
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,700
pizza joints.
So I really encourage folks to
97
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:10,600
do that during this time by all
means social distancing but
98
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,000
she'll try to support those
businesses that are staying open
99
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,700
that you know this this hits
them.
100
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,600
Absolutely absolutely curtains.
Since we're on the subject.
101
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,000
Yeah.
What's the go to wing sauce
102
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,300
somewhere?
At least for this guy was a few.
103
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:23,300
Okay.
Okay.
104
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:26,800
I'm a chili lime man.
I'm with chili lime.
105
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,200
That's that's that's number two
for me.
106
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,900
I actually I got Buck you and
chili lime.
107
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,400
I'm so going to get off.
No man.
108
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:39,800
Hey man, this cattle makes you
happy, doesn't it?
109
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,400
Tom Brady's not in the AFC.
Thank God man.
110
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,600
Thank God.
Nope not anymore.
111
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:50,800
That's the big one.
I'm sure all my my Buffalo fans
112
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:55,500
and jets fans and dolphins fans
out there and thankful that they
113
00:06:55,500 --> 00:06:59,100
actually have a chance to win
the division now maybe, but
114
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,300
maybe and less That's the secret
sauce is mostly Bill.
115
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:07,200
And then moved in, they still
might still be in trouble for a
116
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,200
few more years.
Exactly.
117
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:15,100
But hey, you know, he moved some
of our Hokies moved to man up
118
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,700
Kendall, Fuller, going back to
the Redskins.
119
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:25,200
Back to DC 41, back to the 40
million bucks over four years in
120
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,700
know, being local.
This is actually a prudent good
121
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:32,000
move for the Redskins.
I'm I'm shocked.
122
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:37,200
Yeah, so they go out, they make
a move, not only one that is,
123
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:43,000
you know, smart from picking a
guy that is versatile that can,
124
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,100
you know, play in the slide but
also play outside to help them.
125
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,300
Thank you too.
And, you know, got him for a
126
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:53,700
pretty good price and you know,
you got some Hometown flavor
127
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:55,500
there.
So you're going to probably get
128
00:07:55,500 --> 00:08:00,000
a few more butts in the seats as
a as a side effect, so it's
129
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,100
really no, nope.
Planning about that deal for
130
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,900
them.
Yeah and he wasn't the only
131
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:06,700
hope.
He was to get inside with the
132
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:09,900
Skins.
Logan Thomas tight end.
133
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,400
Wait that's that's the all-time
leading passer.
134
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:18,500
Yeah.
Okay, let's just we can go
135
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,200
there, you know what, let's have
enough food in the future where
136
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,200
we talk about guys who got moved
and you're like why do we move
137
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,200
these guys to different
positions, but not Logan, got
138
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,300
signed good for him.
Give that guy all the credit in
139
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:32,700
the world.
And you know was drafted fourth
140
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:36,400
round by the Cardinals is a
cutie Prospect when Bruce Arians
141
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,900
kind of said it's not going to
work out like that didn't wind
142
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:44,600
didn't complain started working
at tight end and I think Luke
143
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:45,800
has been in the league.
What?
144
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,600
Seven years now seven or eight
years?
145
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:58,300
Yeah the things that are taught
in Blacksburg about hey if you
146
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:00,500
can't make it here do whatever
you can do to make it.
147
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:02,200
You talk about Candles
versatility.
148
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:07,800
Unfortunately, he made that the
back break in absolute mine.
149
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,100
Honour, he was playing.
Yeah, free safety and slaw.
150
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,400
He rotated up and play free
safety and picked us.
151
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,700
And dudes, baller always has
been.
152
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:29,000
Oh oh dude blah, blah, blah,
Tara, Tara TC get them great to
153
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,300
hear that because when all the
moves were being met, Made you
154
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:34,400
know where I'm sitting here,
working listening to the radio
155
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,500
and people are announcing and
I'm like, almond cams going to
156
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:39,700
go there.
James know how it's going to be
157
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:42,600
are ships, kept falling and
nothing really started happening
158
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,000
and all of a sudden they're like
yeah we're going to need Tyra's
159
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,600
sellers started.
Seems like you know, he's gonna
160
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,600
be at least going to be a
transition quarterback for them
161
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,500
depending on what they do.
It either in this year's draft
162
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:58,100
or next year's draft give
something long term for that
163
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:01,400
position but you know we're
talking about probably Season
164
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,500
maybe two that he has an
opportunity to go out there and
165
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,900
show what he can do and go from
there.
166
00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:09,900
So, you know, kudos to him and,
you know, he's been, he sticks
167
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,700
with it.
And I mean, the big thing that I
168
00:10:12,708 --> 00:10:15,300
mean, if you're looking for a
transitional quarterback, a guy
169
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:18,800
like him, that does not turn the
ball over that has the ability
170
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,000
to make plays with his legs.
I mean that's that's going to
171
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,800
definitely be an asset.
I mean, he's not going to go out
172
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,700
there and throw 300 350 a game,
but he takes care of the ball.
173
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,700
He can make big plays in the
legs.
174
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:33,700
When When the play breaks down.
So I think they're going to be
175
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:37,000
okay.
And the underrated thing that
176
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,500
people will that doesn't like to
mention he wanted Buffalo.
177
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,700
He he was the quarterback that
led them to their first playoff
178
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:46,600
appearance since we were in high
school.
179
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:51,000
Let's just keep that on there.
They would not in seven that
180
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,500
year and could have been better
but you know they're old those.
181
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:57,400
It McDermott was the head coach
then right.
182
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,800
He's like no we're gonna play
Nate Peterman from pit and make
183
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,200
Peterman five interceptions and
1/2.
184
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,500
Trivial Henderson.
Yes, Cody off-the-cuff, comment
185
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:28,700
from Mike Farrell the other day.
You know, he was talking about,
186
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,600
kind of the what he was feeling
kind of the temperature in the
187
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,700
room.
As far as treyvion Henderson's
188
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:39,500
Recruitment and he's like, it
seems like at this point
189
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:41,700
because, you know, Clemson is
out.
190
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,300
And it looks like it's going to
be kind of Ohio State and maybe
191
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:48,600
a couple of those other guys,
but but pretty much We're kind
192
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,300
of neck and neck with Ohio State
at this point, and he's giving
193
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:55,700
us kind of a HomeTown favorite
not here at this point if he had
194
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:58,300
to go with his gut.
So that's kind of a, that's a
195
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:01,400
big change in the momentum
compared to where we were
196
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,400
probably about a month ago where
you know, everybody thought it
197
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,500
was going to be Clemson and all
of a sudden, they're not even in
198
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:11,400
the in the top eight there.
So, yeah.
199
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:15,000
All the other thing of high
estate, Evan, prior pretty
200
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
highly rated guy.
Yeah, there are all these 145
201
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:21,800
This class.
Yeah, he's good too.
202
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:24,200
Don't don't don't get me wrong.
But again, it's kind of the
203
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,900
domino effect.
I'm still a hokey a heartbreak.
204
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:32,600
So until I see that Ela last
Sunday in December, I'll hold my
205
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,100
breath, but that's looking good,
man.
206
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:38,000
We've been starting a couple
times we can.
207
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:49,000
We don't, we do more than that.
Things have changed, there's no
208
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,600
spring game.
So this is kind of going to be
209
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,900
are positional unit grading
until felt.
210
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:58,800
This was going to be our
breakdown of where we are right
211
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,700
now and that's going to be where
we are for the remainder of the
212
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:04,500
offseason.
So Cliff exactly.
213
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,500
So we're going to be hitting all
groups with the exception of
214
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:12,800
Specialists and the reason I say
I'm not going to say much about
215
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,000
specialist is you have to really
entrenched guys Prime Johnson
216
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,200
consistent.
We've seen, he can make the long
217
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,700
kick and Oscar Bradburn is one
of the best Putters in the
218
00:13:21,708 --> 00:13:24,400
country.
So we didn't go into those guys
219
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:27,600
clearly in a couple years.
When we do this, we might be
220
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,500
going in because as those guys
graduate, the position will be
221
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:32,900
given open.
So let's start today.
222
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:34,100
Brian.
We're going to start on the
223
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:37,400
defensive side of the ball.
I'm going to start with the
224
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:42,100
corner unit.
I give my grade of that unit, as
225
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:47,200
a B+.
And first of all, I feel just
226
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,600
great about it.
Our top three guys Farley and
227
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,400
wall or absolute Ballers it
showed in the stats.
228
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:57,600
It showed in their play on the
field last year.
229
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,000
Both ranked so high and numerous
statistical categories.
230
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,100
But then the third guy don't
forget about it maimoni.
231
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,800
Chapman was a freshman last year
and he really provided that help
232
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,300
Off the Bench and he shows that
he can belong on that field at
233
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:19,200
least for me.
The reason I go B plus is that
234
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:22,700
it's the depth that scares me
and I was hoping for spring
235
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:26,600
practice man.
You know guys like web and Marie
236
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,700
and the dick Thompson to get a
chance against like tray and
237
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:32,800
Tavian Robinson on the other
side of the ball but we're not
238
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,000
going to death that.
Now I'm going to say this, my
239
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,900
opinion is it's just one of
those guys.
240
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:41,900
It doesn't have to be all three
of them but it just one of those
241
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:47,200
guys can become a contributor.
This groups in a battle coming
242
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:51,300
now.
Something I saw me and you
243
00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:53,800
talked about it when we were
Channel phone call couple weeks
244
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,600
ago, you notice Lapine Rudolph
is not listed as a wide
245
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,300
receiver.
He brought that to my attention.
246
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:04,100
That was like, okay, let's not
sure about that.
247
00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:07,800
But okay, okay, but he's in, but
again, that's going to be fall
248
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Camp stuff and also Dorian
strong coming in.
249
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,200
Can they do stuff in their red
shirt in their first years as a
250
00:15:14,208 --> 00:15:15,900
redshirt year?
We do Don't know yet.
251
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:18,900
But again, I'm going to be plus
for this group.
252
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:22,500
What about you?
I'm actually going to go a solid
253
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:26,000
low, a on this.
Not, not quite as easy -, but,
254
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,600
you know, if I had to put a
number on it, I probably say
255
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:34,800
like 92 93, okay?
And the big thing for me is
256
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,700
similar to what you said, I
mean, we're talking about
257
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:42,100
bringing back, probably, The
best one to Tandem that corner
258
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:46,100
back in the conference.
And I think for me that's big,
259
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:49,800
that's big, you know, Frontline.
We're talking about having two
260
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,900
of the best guys that can do it
in the conference.
261
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:57,500
I was impressed by what Chapman
did last year as a freshman.
262
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,800
She showed promise and spell
Duty he showed promise when he
263
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,900
had to come on to take over when
when Farley was out.
264
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,400
So I mean he did get burned a
couple times yes but I think,
265
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,100
you know that's going to come
with with the experience and
266
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:14,700
playing against more of those
number one, guys.
267
00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:17,800
And I think I think the biggest
thing for me is I think Murray
268
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,700
is going to be a guy that we can
depend on as well.
269
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,800
And that's why I don't quite
have quite as many probably
270
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,400
concerns about depth.
As you, I feel like we've got
271
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,500
four guys that we can probably
probably lean on it.
272
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:32,000
I think Murray being versatile.
Being able to play the nickel
273
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
corner and being able to play
outside is going to be good for
274
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,200
us.
Awesome.
275
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,400
All right, I'll let you take the
next group.
276
00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:41,700
All right, so we're going.
We're going safeties.
277
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:43,500
Next, we're moving on to
safeties.
278
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:47,200
And, you know, for safety's, I'm
going to give them a solid
279
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,200
b-plus.
Mainly because I feel like
280
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,600
Frontline, we've got some
really, really talented players
281
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,600
that can do some special things.
I mean, we've got Divine Diablo
282
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,200
out there and then we've got
your Devon Hunter Hunter,
283
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,700
finally, stepping in 44, Reggie
there.
284
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:05,900
And I think that's going to be
the key because I think it's in
285
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:09,300
terms of top-end town in terms
of just what he can do on the
286
00:17:09,308 --> 00:17:12,099
field.
And I'm really excited to see
287
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:15,099
what with Devin Hunter can do
this year.
288
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:18,400
And for me, that's what kind of
takes it over the top and you
289
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,599
know, we still got Tyree out
there that can, you know, help
290
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:23,800
out on the back end, if there's
injuries and they the biggest
291
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,400
concern that I might have is
that, you know, Diablo has been
292
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,900
banged up at times through his
career and that that's really my
293
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:34,900
bigger concern, but in terms of
just Frontline telling, I feel
294
00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:37,300
like we're, you know, we're
pretty solid there.
295
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:44,100
Yeah, I'ma be on this also
through tomorrow Connor and at
296
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:45,700
the nickel whip, whatever you
want to call.
297
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:49,900
Yeah that's definitely going to
get a plane to the puzzle there
298
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:53,300
because that position just as
much of a DB as it is a
299
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:55,200
linebacker.
Yeah.
300
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,900
And to me I'm because Divine and
him have shown in game, they can
301
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:03,600
just do it in and out.
Just good play In and Out
302
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:07,400
devils.
Look goodness spot chances but
303
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,100
now He's got to do it in and
out, week in week out.
304
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,700
I think the potential for him to
do, it's there, I really do.
305
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,500
But, you know, right now to me,
you mentioned Tyree Rogers.
306
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:23,600
Tyree Rogers is our only guy as
a back up again, duck, worries
307
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,700
me more than anything you're
going.
308
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:29,200
That's going to be a lot of my
talk about I'm depth because,
309
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,800
you know, it's just true that
you see teams and they're really
310
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,200
good.
And then one guy goes down and
311
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,800
it doesn't fall apart, but it
isn't what it could be.
312
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:38,900
Yeah.
I think that without some of our
313
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:42,200
defense has in the past where we
had a defense, we felt really
314
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,000
good about and neither, you
know, guy goes down with we have
315
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,400
that spell of like two or three
years in a row, we had to
316
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,100
lisfranc injuries that yeah,
completely derailed our defense
317
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:54,800
at key positions.
Yeah.
318
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:58,200
The other piece with this group
that I put it in a be enough to
319
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,300
be plus, is I think was in
Reggie.
320
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,300
I think his leadership skills on
there is another big piece to
321
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:09,400
me.
I'm going to throw one thing out
322
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,600
there and I want to see how you
feel about this, okay?
323
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,000
Didi Ferguson He's listed with
the linebacker group.
324
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:18,200
But if you look at this bill,
he's about 61 about 2:15.
325
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,100
I'm wondering if he is going to
get and he and I think he's a
326
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:24,900
redshirt freshman.
If my mom doesn't fail me.
327
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:28,600
I wonder if he's kind of moved
over to say, hey, let's try you
328
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,400
at Rover or sort of whip in
certain situations because of
329
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,900
his size and because of how the
linebacker positions looking We
330
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:40,200
also got can't coming out from
Duvall.
331
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:48,100
I think if it's projects plays
good people walk or talk is one
332
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:50,500
of those guys step up and become
that second death P.
333
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,400
I think he's redshirting unless
he comes in and blows it away,
334
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,200
it can't because it's going to
be very interesting piece this
335
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,800
year, no Spring ball.
The Freshman isn't have a chance
336
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,000
to come in and say, hey dude,
you're not ahead.
337
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:02,900
Nobody's ahead of you.
Yeah.
338
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:06,000
That's that's the big thing is
like, you know, there's going to
339
00:20:06,008 --> 00:20:07,600
be some positives in that in
depth.
340
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:10,900
Freshmen are going to get kind
of equal opportunity to really
341
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:14,100
go out there and show what
they've got conversely.
342
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:18,000
I mean the coaches are going to
have to spend more rep, seeing
343
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,700
what they have from from these
guys without, you know, without
344
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:26,500
knowing they're already solid
with some of the maturing guys
345
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:29,600
are already on the roster.
So it'll be interesting trying
346
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,300
to get settled that out and see
how that ends up impacting camp.
347
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:36,500
But I mean, the good news is
that it's not just us you know
348
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:40,900
everyone is The same situation
so it's not like it's something
349
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:45,700
that's a unique handicap for us.
So I think we'll see how it
350
00:20:45,708 --> 00:20:48,200
shakes out.
Like you said, I think things
351
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,800
like that.
Where position changes and try
352
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,500
and guys a different spots, you
may actually see less of that
353
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:58,900
just because we don't
necessarily have time to
354
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:02,100
experiment unless unless you've
got a guy that you already know
355
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:05,100
can handle that role.
Yeah for sure.
356
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:08,500
All right, well I kind of set up
what we're going to Into next
357
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:13,400
with Dean Ferguson because the
linebackers group a borderline
358
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,700
and a plus for me, I mean, we're
deep.
359
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,600
These guys are talented.
They all have on field
360
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,600
experience.
We have good leadership at this
361
00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:28,800
and the way I kind of feel about
it as we look at them, Brian.
362
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,700
And I'm going to let you kind of
go on this.
363
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:35,000
We have a chance to be so
dynamic because we have some
364
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,900
really Dynamic skill sets.
And, Backer between rook and
365
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:45,400
Dax.
And, you know, Barn Barn of
366
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:50,800
Tisdale and Keisha an artist.
I mean, this group today for me.
367
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,300
Yeah, day for me as well.
And those are the five that I
368
00:21:54,308 --> 00:21:56,300
highlighted as well.
Be the interesting thing is
369
00:21:56,300 --> 00:22:00,600
going to be, you know, I think
we're talking about, you know,
370
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,700
Richard acts, we're talking
about Keyshawn and Tisdale and
371
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:08,700
then we got Barner that's kind
of a I don't know what we're
372
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:11,300
going to do with them in terms.
I think he's going to be good
373
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:16,200
for depth, but I'm interested to
see if we get creative with how
374
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,900
we deploy him just because of
his, you know, length and size
375
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:24,200
and still ability to run around
pretty good too.
376
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,300
So let me admit run this.
Yeah.
377
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:29,600
Go back to Daddy's freshman
year.
378
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:32,200
Is that what you're thinking
with bar know what?
379
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,500
He's almost stand up like that,
he's got a whip position and
380
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:37,500
he's moving back and forth side
to side.
381
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,800
Whatever.
Wherever, the wherever the tight
382
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,600
end isn't he is?
Yeah, I think they could deploy
383
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,400
in the him in that way.
Absolutely just because he does
384
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,700
have that linked and in some
ways I mean with his he's
385
00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:54,500
actually longer than the what
Daddy was at that time.
386
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:59,800
I mean your daddy you similar in
size but you know, burners got a
387
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,800
little bit more length and like
I said, we've been moving to
388
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,600
some of that in terms of how we
recruiting pass rushers.
389
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,400
So it'll be interesting if
that's part of Of the puzzle as
390
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,600
well.
Yeah.
391
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,900
This group I feel, is there
going to be the linchpin on that
392
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:17,000
defense and I think having
Jackson Richard being the older
393
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,100
guys in the middle, you know,
and that said it in the thing.
394
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:26,300
They both lead different racial
Arts dog in taxes allowed.
395
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,100
I got a feeling when those two
guys bar at the rest of the
396
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:32,700
defense, they will listen.
And that's why I'm less
397
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:35,400
concerned about, as you said
earlier, with the Reggie,
398
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,200
departure, own terms of
leadership, I mean, Not only has
399
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,400
Diablo been doing the playing
that position in the secondary
400
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,600
for a while.
You know, we're starting to get
401
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,100
a lot more senior in the
secondary.
402
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:52,300
And I think with guys in the
middle like Dax and Richard, you
403
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:55,000
know, there's not going to be a
problem with with leadership
404
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,200
getting a lot, guys.
A line where they need to be
405
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,700
getting the assignments out
there, getting the calls out.
406
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:02,600
So I don't think that's going to
be a problem with those two on
407
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,600
the field plus Diablo, there in
the secondary great.
408
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:09,500
All right, Bronson Let's go to
the next group guys that you
409
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:11,100
block the lot.
What do you think of the
410
00:24:11,108 --> 00:24:13,100
defensive tackles for this
upcoming year?
411
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:17,900
I tell you, man, I feel really
good about the defensive tackles
412
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:21,900
and the big thing that we're
talking about right now is that
413
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:25,800
I felt the exact opposite this
time last year.
414
00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:31,100
I had no idea what to feel about
the defensive tackle position
415
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:36,100
going into going into Camp, last
year, going into spring practice
416
00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:39,800
last year because We're so so
thin.
417
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:44,300
And, you know, we had some, some
junior college guys, coming in.
418
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:45,900
All right.
So, the biggest thing that I
419
00:24:45,908 --> 00:24:50,700
like about this unit is going to
be the depth that we have.
420
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:54,500
And like I said, last year, I
was doing the complete opposite
421
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,200
frame of mind.
At this time of the year.
422
00:24:57,100 --> 00:25:01,500
You know, we had Jaden company
ham and Deshawn Crawford come in
423
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:04,100
and they really pay dividends
right out, the gate, just having
424
00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:07,600
their experience in there.
We got those.
425
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:10,600
Guys back this year.
So the other guys want to talk
426
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,100
about is no real Pollard.
I feel really good about his
427
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,100
production from year one and I
feel like we're going to get
428
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:19,000
some more out of him this year
but the but the guy that I'm
429
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,700
really high on is Josh fuga.
This guy's been a beast in the
430
00:25:23,708 --> 00:25:25,500
weight room.
This offseason.
431
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,800
He's been kind of attached to
the older guys at the hip and
432
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,800
just trying to soak in
everything and I think that's
433
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,100
going to pay dividends when we
come out this year.
434
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:41,900
I think he's We're going to be a
guy that if just rotationally
435
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:44,700
he's going to make some noise
just because of his size and
436
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:46,500
athleticism and what he brings
to the table.
437
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,700
Yeah, 100%.
I'm with you on the same Grade B
438
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:55,200
plus because of the depth human
and Crawford starting they're
439
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,400
solid, they're solid.
They do their jobs then last
440
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000
year you mentioned Paulo red
Mario Kendricks to the Freshman
441
00:26:02,100 --> 00:26:05,800
also has pretty good Open Season
and the one thing I want
442
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,000
everybody to remember out there
these Guys came in in July, they
443
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,100
weren't there in June January.
So they were doing that without
444
00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:16,300
College weight program.
Which is, I know, you know,
445
00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:19,600
Brian from doing it.
It's a big deal in these cases.
446
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:22,700
Absolutely wrong.
You mentioned fuka Cunningham.
447
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:25,400
Remember he played a few games,
but got banged up and was out.
448
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,100
Yep, but both those guys are
about to 305 range, so that
449
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:30,800
gives us some girth in the
middle.
450
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,000
We're playing more of a power
run team.
451
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,300
We might be mixing up them more
than the other guys.
452
00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:40,800
And you know, I love Charlie
Wiles.
453
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,200
Charlie was a great coach for
many years but I'm kind of
454
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,500
excited to see what Bill Turner
can do with this group because
455
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,600
they are more experiences.
There are some, you know,
456
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:54,700
there's some chances to be
dynamic in this group.
457
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:58,000
What about you?
Yeah, the biggest thing, I the
458
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,600
reason I'm high on most of these
defensive lineman is going to be
459
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,300
the coaching change.
And now the having the the depth
460
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:08,600
and the experience that we
didn't have Really the last two
461
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,900
years but in particular we've
had this problem for a bit so
462
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,200
I'm really excited to see what
he can do.
463
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,100
I think that that's going to be
where we see the most dividends
464
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:23,700
get paid off.
Is that you've got tear length?
465
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:28,700
It's going to be more of the guy
that is X's and O's can break
466
00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:31,200
things down.
Can bring some unique ways of
467
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,400
attacking the ovens of wine.
And then you got obviously tap
468
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,500
is going to play a role with
some of the inside guys, too.
469
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:39,000
But I think you he'll be a
You'll be more strictly
470
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,800
defensive ends but I think he'll
play a role with some of the
471
00:27:40,808 --> 00:27:44,200
inside guys, just because there
is that overlap and I think
472
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,100
those two guys just the work
ethic of cap and then the X's
473
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:51,600
and O's and just the the knowing
how to attack an offensive line,
474
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,300
with tear link is going to be a
really big combination.
475
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,800
It's and we're going to see
probably a big step in the
476
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,000
output from this unit.
Awesome.
477
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:01,300
All right.
Well we're going to move the
478
00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:05,300
defensive ends backs and help.
Maybe I should just change my
479
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:08,300
grade for this one just because
Darryl Tapp Is going to be
480
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:10,900
coaching up those guys to Abby,
but I've got it at a see.
481
00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:14,800
Don't don't hate me defensive
ends if you guys listen to this
482
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,200
or people that love these guys,
because first of all, one reason
483
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,900
is, we're already down to player
Devon beckton.
484
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,800
I hope this clears up quick, he
comes back.
485
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,100
You know, Emmanuel Belmar leader
of this group.
486
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,700
He doesn't blow you away with
everything, he's solid, he's
487
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:35,500
steady, which is sometimes what
you need.
488
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,400
But there's a couple guys.
Like, Zion, the Bose is missing
489
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,500
a huge opportunity to spring.
It really sucks for him.
490
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,500
Jalen Griffin showed some
flashes last year, but again, he
491
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:51,900
still transitioning.
But you know, and you've got Eli
492
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:56,900
Adams, some production.
He'll definitely have a role.
493
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,900
What do you think of this group?
What's your grade Brown?
494
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,200
All right, so for this unit, I'm
giving them a b and part of its
495
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,700
going to be B, we got an
additional year with these guys
496
00:29:11,900 --> 00:29:13,400
in the offseason.
I know we're not going to get us
497
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,200
a full spring here but they've
had a full mostly a full
498
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,800
offseason workout program and I
think they're going to get
499
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,000
better.
They're going to get stronger,
500
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,800
they're going to get faster and
you couple that like I said with
501
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,000
these coaching changes and I
feel like that's going to be a
502
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
recipe to just get some
additional fire out, though.
503
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,700
It gets some additional usage.
I mean you know we're talking
504
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:42,400
about Your Belmar garbage out
there, you got the leaders, but
505
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,000
then you also got, like you
said, Jalen Griffin showed some
506
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,900
flashes.
And I think the biggest thing
507
00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:52,100
coming in is Alec Bryant and how
they're going to deploy him.
508
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,000
Because I think he's at least
one of the guys that I think is
509
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,600
going to have potential, not to
take a redshirt year in 2020.
510
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,100
And I think that's because not
only is he going to pay some
511
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:09,100
dividends in terms of getting
After the quarterback because
512
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:12,600
he's got a good combination of
speed and size, but because he's
513
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,700
got that speed and size on
passing Downs.
514
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,000
You can slide him into a three
technique and let him rush the
515
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,300
passer from there.
So that's going to bring a whole
516
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:24,500
new element to what we do.
So I'm looking to add his
517
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:29,200
versatility coupled with, you
know, our veteran guys getting
518
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,300
an additional year in the system
and getting additional year in
519
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:35,700
the weight room.
And then just what we can really
520
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:38,100
deploy from a coaching
standpoint to really These guys,
521
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:42,000
after the quarterback better.
Yeah, and, and one guy you
522
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,900
mentioned in and I forgot to but
I think garment is really key
523
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:47,000
for this group this year.
If you remember last year, they
524
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,100
talked about how good a camp he
had and then he comes in the
525
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,100
first game of the year, he hurts
his collarbone against Boston
526
00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:57,900
College.
He comes back and plays, but you
527
00:30:57,900 --> 00:31:01,800
kind of wondered you played
against these guys and I think
528
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,100
about where the collarbone is
and I see what defensive ends
529
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:09,200
do, break your collarbone or you
know, Even fracture in a way.
530
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,500
How much is that going to hurt
you and what you do as a
531
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:15,200
defensive end?
And I really think he's going to
532
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,600
be a kick if he can stay
healthy, he always kind of like,
533
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:24,000
you know, lined up a little
wider than Bellmore and you love
534
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,800
Alec Bryant.
Yeah, yeah.
535
00:31:37,700 --> 00:31:40,200
Or not.
And, you know, maybe this group
536
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,700
is the group that just surprises
there again, my see group.
537
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:47,700
So, you know, yeah.
Like I said, I'm giving them a
538
00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:49,200
solid B.
And like I said, mainly it's
539
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,600
because of the coaching changes
and then, like I said, the, the
540
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,600
additional year of seasoning and
what ABI thing can bring the
541
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,200
table.
And I mean, that's not no
542
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,700
discount to the other two guys
that are coming in for us.
543
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:05,600
But I just think in terms of
instant impact, you know, Alec
544
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,200
Bryant because of his
versatility and sighs right out
545
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,200
the gate.
Just kind of gives us a little
546
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,900
more where I think with guys
already somewhat entrenched.
547
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,200
He's the only guy that's going
to kind of break through that
548
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,500
that ceiling right away.
Very all right, I'm going to set
549
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:22,200
up one for you, man.
We're going to move over to the
550
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,500
offense, your bread and butter.
Give me your grade on the 0
551
00:32:25,508 --> 00:32:28,200
line, 0 line.
So you're probably going to be
552
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:34,600
surprised that this one I'm
going a - whoo and okay don't
553
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,700
don't take that harshly
offensive lineman that's I'm
554
00:32:37,708 --> 00:32:41,500
giving you a compliment here.
You have the most unique and
555
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:46,100
good problem that you can have.
You've got about nine guys that
556
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:50,000
potentially could start.
And now the problem that we have
557
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,800
is that we got to get not only
the most talented 5 out there
558
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,700
but those were astounded.
Five need to gel in a way that
559
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,000
the guys from last year were
able to do down the stretch and
560
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,200
how our running game started.
Opening up a whole lot more down
561
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,900
the stretch and you're having to
do that with With now, no spring
562
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:13,500
practice those spring game and
potentially a protracted
563
00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:16,900
offseason.
So that's going to be my only
564
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:18,900
concern and that's why I went a
minus here.
565
00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:23,700
It, you know, when you're
talking about like cornerback or
566
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:25,700
safety.
Yeah.
567
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:29,400
There's some, you know,
reciprocation between the units
568
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,300
there but more or less your kind
of, you know, you take care of
569
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:35,200
your business there.
Buddy else takes care of their
570
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,200
business often.
One.
571
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,200
It's got to work as one complete
unit at all times.
572
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,300
And if any one player is not
where they need to be, even if
573
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:50,300
everybody else is doing their
job, the play gets blown up.
574
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,300
So until we see how that gels
and how, you know who's going to
575
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:57,800
be playing centers?
And we playing, like I feel like
576
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:03,200
tackles are more or less set
depending on what happens at
577
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,600
right tackle.
But the interior it could be You
578
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,400
know, four or five different
potential scenarios there and
579
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,400
depending on what those
scenarios are, we could be
580
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,300
having one of the guys that
started, you know, 10 plus games
581
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:21,199
last year and up redshirting,
just because we don't need nine
582
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:27,000
or ten lineman every week.
So, you know, that's the big
583
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,300
thing for me and that's why when
a - I just think, I think this
584
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:33,699
unit is going to be great.
I just don't know, if it's all
585
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:37,400
going to come together fast
enough for them to be, you know.
586
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,400
All-time great offensive line
for the Hokies got you.
587
00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:46,300
Now, I just want a plus, you
know, but what I see is, you
588
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:49,400
said it, we're not needed more
deep than that.
589
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,600
We also have versatile guys who
can play a number of positions.
590
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,100
Again, that means a lot to me.
You've got, you've already got a
591
00:34:56,100 --> 00:35:00,600
couple of all Americans with
Dara saw and what Hudson was an
592
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,900
All-American last year.
Nestor along with Mike Hoffman.
593
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:07,200
Just you keep name and you're
like, yep, good blind and good
594
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,900
line.
Good alignment, but I get what
595
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:10,900
you're saying, where they need
to jail, they were missing
596
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,700
spring.
So there's a prime opportunity
597
00:35:13,700 --> 00:35:18,100
to get him an opportunity to
jail, but also think with it
598
00:35:18,100 --> 00:35:21,300
offensive line group, maybe they
just getting out there doing
599
00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:26,300
some sets together, not about
with the coaches but hopefully,
600
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:30,400
that can happen.
But I know I miss, I know, I
601
00:35:30,408 --> 00:35:34,500
miss we've missed some guys that
on the line that could possibly
602
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:37,400
start.
I think.
603
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:42,500
Whoever the 5r run, I think this
group has Joe more potential.
604
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,500
I think at the end of the year
we could see them on that list
605
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:49,300
to say this is the best
offensive line in college
606
00:35:49,300 --> 00:35:53,000
football.
Now, also the nerd fan in me, I
607
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,300
want to see some games where I
up like 3510 at the end and our
608
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:02,800
coaches get drunk and say it's
called an eight-man offensive
609
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,500
line set with Quincy at
quarterback.
610
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:07,200
And just just let's just break
somebody's will and make them
611
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,400
cry.
A on the field.
612
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,200
There we go.
I like the sound of that that,
613
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,100
you know, I always remember
back.
614
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:16,300
Do you remember the Duke game
when she's first year?
615
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:20,600
And we were up like five and
he's like, six minutes to go in
616
00:36:20,607 --> 00:36:22,900
the game.
And literally the way we pushed
617
00:36:22,900 --> 00:36:25,500
and ran the ball, and you can
just see them when it got to
618
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:28,700
like two minutes and they're
like, yeah, even this fall back.
619
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:31,600
Yeah, I was at that game.
So I remember that will give you
620
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,000
a Jacob down there, man.
You just see.
621
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,200
A will get snapped and it's just
like that's what Have lunch and
622
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,400
do, yeah, you have no idea
because that game was kind of
623
00:36:41,408 --> 00:36:44,800
tight.
Most of the way, the amount of
624
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,000
energy they got sucked out of
that stadium in that drive was
625
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
impressive.
Like, you could just feel it
626
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,500
just slowly drain as the drive
went on and on and on.
627
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,000
All right, where do you want to
go next?
628
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,500
Brian.
All right.
629
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:00,600
Where we heading?
Where we had?
630
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,700
We going to go, let's see, tell
me what you think about wide
631
00:37:03,700 --> 00:37:05,300
receivers.
Oh, man.
632
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,800
I'm gonna give him a big.
Okay.
633
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,300
Clearly, Trey Turner is becoming
the leader, the lead wolf of
634
00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:15,800
this pack.
I mean, you can say it.
635
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,500
How you can see how the guys
respect in, which is the big
636
00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:23,400
thing to have to have a lead dog
with wide receivers.
637
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,100
You need the Alpha Chi box.
They're going to listen, I get a
638
00:37:26,107 --> 00:37:31,600
Feelin but also be coming back
with Tavian Robinson, but the
639
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,400
reason I give Abby is there's a
lot of unknown after that you
640
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,500
know, with Hayes and has he
both, you know, entering the
641
00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:37,600
port?
Little Haze heading, the
642
00:37:37,607 --> 00:37:39,600
Missouri has the.
I don't know if he's landed
643
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,800
anywhere but it looks like he
was heading somewhere on the
644
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,800
peninsula to play.
You know, don't get me wrong.
645
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:49,700
It's a chance for these young
guys to come out there and they
646
00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:51,600
don't get spring.
We've said it numerous times and
647
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,100
we probably got to continue to
say it because we're not going
648
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:56,800
to get that opportunity to see
who separates themselves.
649
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:02,500
You know, we do have Caleb Smith
who definitely I think he had
650
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:05,700
not Hurtin catches last year,
which is solid for a guy in a
651
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,200
red shirt freshman Here, I'm
also seeing definitely Big,
652
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,500
Stone Gap himself will be
supporting this group in ways
653
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:16,300
because he's at burst of of a
player.
654
00:38:16,500 --> 00:38:20,100
What about you?
So four wide receivers.
655
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:23,900
I'm going to go be as well, the
concerns being very similar to
656
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:25,800
yours.
We're talking about two guys
657
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,500
leaving that you had significant
amount of snaps last year.
658
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:34,300
You know, coupling that with a
couple of unknown factors, but
659
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:37,600
the reason that I'm still
feeling pretty good, And yes,
660
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,100
some of us got to do with the
front end.
661
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:42,900
We got trade Tammy on you know
trained up.
662
00:38:42,900 --> 00:38:46,300
He's got people's money, money
back from Virginia Tech parking.
663
00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:49,900
So you can do that.
You can do anything, he can beat
664
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:55,100
Any Corner if he beat that any
corner and you know obviously
665
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:59,700
Tavian Robinson had a great
freshman year and I'm looking
666
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:02,200
for him to just grow more into
that role especially now that
667
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,000
he's going to be more of a you
know, outside guys and versus In
668
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,600
from the Florida.
Feel like you got Jaden through
669
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,400
redshirted last year.
I think he's going to be kind of
670
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,100
take on that slot role and what
you're not talking about, but
671
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:19,700
what I'm he's going to be a
theme of my offense here.
672
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:26,600
When we're talking about skill
position Rahim Blackshear, what
673
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,900
Rahe Blackshear can do is going
to impress, you.
674
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:35,500
And he's pretty much a de facto
number four wide receiver.
675
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,700
On top of being Depth in our
running back room.
676
00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:44,000
So I'm looking for those guys,
I'm looking for, as you said,
677
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,800
Big Stone Gap jeans, Mitchell
working outside a lot.
678
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:55,900
I like, Bucky not probably not
quite as out there exclusively
679
00:39:55,900 --> 00:40:00,200
like Bucky was and in twenties
first year but definitely
680
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,900
working outside on the regular
and something, nobody's talking
681
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:06,700
about a lot.
But I mean, I like this tape and
682
00:40:06,700 --> 00:40:10,500
I'm Like all the things I've
seen look for dalen, right?
683
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:15,400
Maybe make some noise early on
just because of his ability to
684
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:20,400
work inside and outside and he
has the entire route tree
685
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,800
already at his disposal.
I think he could definitely from
686
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,300
day one coming and maybe be a
contributor even if it's just a
687
00:40:26,308 --> 00:40:31,200
guy that you know is coming in
to give you a tray or Tay a
688
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,500
spell or somebody working in the
slide if we're working with you
689
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:36,600
we got James at tight end.
Somebody else.
690
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:39,900
To work in the slot so look for
him to do stuff like that.
691
00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:42,600
Yeah the Jaden field I got it
wrote down.
692
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,200
I think he's the breakout could
be the breakout guy and make
693
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,700
this group even bruschetta
bruschetta that speed if nothing
694
00:40:48,700 --> 00:40:53,500
else him running, you know, just
go routes or running deep posts
695
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:56,700
or just getting the ball in his
hands at the line of scrimmage.
696
00:40:57,500 --> 00:41:00,300
You saw it.
He, he, I think he won like the
697
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:04,500
60 meter dash at the vhsl track
and field games last year.
698
00:41:04,500 --> 00:41:08,000
And dude can fall I do if you
Him some room.
699
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:13,000
Watch out.
So in again, I think, I think I
700
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,300
mentioned this in a couple
episodes ago.
701
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:18,800
I think Jane redshirted last
year, was more of from heating
702
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,400
to learn the wide receiver
position.
703
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:23,700
He's fast, that's great.
He probably knows how to run
704
00:41:23,700 --> 00:41:26,300
these routes, but he plays
quarterback in high school.
705
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,000
We're just going to get a
transition and maybe we see the
706
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,700
dividends of him, taking that
full season and just getting
707
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:35,600
better and better and better
can, you know, game against the
708
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,600
seven states.
He runs a deep post, just blows
709
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,400
by the safety of others by the
corner of 60 yards.
710
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,800
Touchdown, maybe maybe not.
Alright, so we've mentioned, Big
711
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,400
Stone Gap, a couple times.
What's your, what's your, a
712
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,300
great on the tight end units.
All right, I'm given tight ends
713
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:56,100
a beat.
I like I like what they're
714
00:41:56,100 --> 00:42:00,000
bringing to the table here.
Obviously, you know, elephant in
715
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,000
the room Dawn keen and to the
NFL.
716
00:42:04,300 --> 00:42:07,300
But I think combining that with
big No Gap.
717
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:10,300
And then what?
I think, Nick de gallo and and
718
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:15,100
Drake can do.
I feel like Drake and Nick can
719
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:19,200
kind of between the two of them,
take up and do most of the
720
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,400
things that the Dalton was
doing?
721
00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:27,700
I think James is primed to have
a huge year, monster year, and
722
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,000
because I think he is going to
get some more of those touches
723
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,900
that that we saw going to Dalton
whether it be in the screen
724
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:38,000
game, whether it be, you know,
those Red Zone routes that
725
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,300
typically went to Dalton in a
lot of cases, I think James is
726
00:42:42,308 --> 00:42:45,000
going to take over some of that
but I think, you know, from a
727
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,100
blocking standpoint, I think
Nick can do a lot of the things
728
00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:51,900
that don't was able to do from
inline perspective.
729
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:56,500
And I think that Drake doing the
HVAC stuff is really going to be
730
00:42:57,100 --> 00:42:59,800
the dividend that pays off the
most because of, yeah, he'll be
731
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,800
able to get outside and block.
Well, and that was something
732
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,600
that Dalton did really.
Well, was blocking the space
733
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:08,600
block is Lead versus blocking in
line.
734
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,800
So I think you're going to see
some of that get taken up by
735
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,200
Drake, and I think he should, he
should step into that role
736
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,500
pretty well.
And I think pass-catching, I
737
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:18,400
think Drake will do okay?
And I think James is going to
738
00:43:18,408 --> 00:43:20,900
just take on a bigger role in
that in that regard.
739
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,100
Yeah, I'm a b-plus on this.
I'm a little bit higher because
740
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:27,100
I think what you kind of live,
everything you said, I think the
741
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:32,000
combination can get us can
replace Dalton lose you.
742
00:43:32,008 --> 00:43:35,800
A little bit of your versatility
but you saw Gallo last year and
743
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,100
how it got later.
ER, and his blocks you, he's
744
00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:40,900
built Silo.
Thank you 64. 250, he's built
745
00:43:40,900 --> 00:43:44,000
good Drake.
Remembers was the higher guy
746
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,900
coming out when him and Dalton
both came in?
747
00:43:49,300 --> 00:43:53,900
So I think this is his chance to
shine and clearly James is a
748
00:43:53,900 --> 00:43:55,600
little everything.
He's gonna play The Joker tight
749
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,400
end position.
He's going to play the outside
750
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,700
for the receiver group, but he
can block, you know, and you saw
751
00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:05,500
him run some of those interior.
The the inside, the five sweeps,
752
00:44:05,500 --> 00:44:09,200
which case, Got blown up but he
did score some touchdowns off of
753
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,600
them.
Yeah it's his versatility.
754
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:16,400
So when you see him live in that
sort of HVAC role like right off
755
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:22,000
the shoulder of the right tackle
or the left tackle he's not
756
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,300
going to.
He's going to run some route.
757
00:44:23,300 --> 00:44:25,300
Well what'd he say what if he
gets the sweep?
758
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:27,900
Is he can we get to him fast?
Nothing.
759
00:44:27,900 --> 00:44:29,800
Is it going to be a big enough
guy to take him down?
760
00:44:30,500 --> 00:44:33,700
And that's why I put this at A
to B +.
761
00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:36,500
All right, Brian quarterback
room.
762
00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:38,800
Guys, you protected where you
going with them?
763
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,300
Well, we finished the year
pretty strong last year.
764
00:44:43,300 --> 00:44:46,100
So I'm going to go with the
solid solid b-plus.
765
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:49,600
I think there's room for growth
and that's why we need for us.
766
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,500
I think you for just talking
depth, you would be an A+
767
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,000
because I feel like we've got a
great number one.
768
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,800
And then, as solid as two guys
behind him, as you could
769
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,500
probably find anywhere.
With Quincy and with with
770
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:10,400
Braxton.
So and I think just from a, from
771
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,800
a top in one, I mean, I think
hendon's the guy I love his
772
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,400
leadership.
That's the biggest thing that I
773
00:45:15,408 --> 00:45:18,300
like about him and hooker, if he
gets on the field, He commands
774
00:45:18,300 --> 00:45:20,600
the Huddle.
And that's what you need.
775
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:25,700
And if he can take just, you
know, a couple steps in terms of
776
00:45:25,700 --> 00:45:28,400
consistency with his passes.
I think he can make all the
777
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:29,800
throws.
That's not, that's not the
778
00:45:29,808 --> 00:45:33,700
concern but just being a little
more consistent with making the
779
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:37,200
Visions.
A little quicker and a little
780
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,500
bit more accurate with the
football, when delivering it in
781
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:43,500
the, in the intermediate range,
I think you really take the next
782
00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:44,800
step.
So that's what I'm looking for.
783
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,000
And that's why I wouldn't be
plus.
784
00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:48,500
All right.
Okay, Brian, I'm gonna, I'm
785
00:45:48,508 --> 00:45:51,100
gonna give my grandma.
Won't you to ask me?
786
00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:53,800
Why did I go there?
A poke.
787
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,700
Hey plus.
All right, give me a rundown.
788
00:45:57,700 --> 00:45:59,700
Then give me a rundown - you
question.
789
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,300
How many other schools in the
country?
790
00:46:01,300 --> 00:46:03,400
Can say they've had three
quarterbacks when a division,
791
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:04,300
one football.
Ball game.
792
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,200
Very few, very few men, very
won't make any with.
793
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,800
And that's what we have here.
You have tendon Who won six
794
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,600
games, Burmeister out at Oregon,
wanted some games, Quincy won
795
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:21,500
game one, the Carolina, one, the
Carolina game and you said it
796
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:25,000
hookers the man, but having
those two good backups like
797
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,300
them, tell me if you're an
offensive play caller, are you
798
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:32,200
going to fear like running an
offense?
799
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,600
Like, I can't do this.
I might get hooker banged up.
800
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,600
So no, you're not, you're not
worried about that and I think
801
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,700
that other thing is that you're
not worried about you having to
802
00:46:41,700 --> 00:46:45,100
completely blow up your
playbook, if your backup comes
803
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:46,900
in.
And I think that's that's
804
00:46:46,900 --> 00:46:49,400
something that people don't talk
about enough is that?
805
00:46:49,700 --> 00:46:52,700
Yeah, I think will cater some
play-calling towards Quincy or
806
00:46:52,707 --> 00:46:56,400
towards Braxton if he comes in,
but most of the plays that we
807
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,300
run or still going to be on the
table if finding gets injured.
808
00:47:00,300 --> 00:47:04,400
So that's a big thing,
especially if there's a mid-game
809
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,900
injury.
So, You know, not having time to
810
00:47:06,900 --> 00:47:09,000
prepare and set up for what
you're going to do.
811
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:11,200
You know, Quincy comes in here.
We're probably going to go a
812
00:47:11,207 --> 00:47:14,900
little bit more power, run
heavy, but he can still make all
813
00:47:14,900 --> 00:47:17,600
the throws.
He can still do all the things
814
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,000
that they've hidden can do and
then you can talk talk Braxton.
815
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,600
I mean, there's talking about
him being the best athlete of
816
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,600
the three of them.
Which crazy mean the thought of
817
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,400
that is kind of insane.
So, you know, I don't think
818
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,600
we're going to, you know, when
you're when either these guys
819
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,200
come in you're not.
About losing plays from your
820
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,500
playbook and that's the most
important thing with the backup
821
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:44,400
is being able to essentially do
what you do, even when your top
822
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,900
guys not in there.
And that's another reason I gave
823
00:47:46,900 --> 00:47:50,600
it the A+, they can do the same
place, but they all have a
824
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,000
little different skillset you
talk about Braxton being the
825
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,600
best athlete, and you can see
what some of his soul and reads,
826
00:47:56,100 --> 00:48:00,600
his quickness to make that step.
It's faster than Hendon of
827
00:48:00,607 --> 00:48:02,800
Hendon.
Has got a pretty quick step and
828
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:03,900
it's clearly kind of
frequencies.
829
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,600
But I will go back to the
Carolina game.
830
00:48:05,700 --> 00:48:08,900
Mmmmm.
And if you remember how they had
831
00:48:08,900 --> 00:48:11,700
a change up the game plan a
little bit, something like have
832
00:48:11,700 --> 00:48:13,000
happens in Game.
Did Carolina.
833
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Look like they were ready for a
power running QB.
834
00:48:15,700 --> 00:48:18,200
No, no, no.
So what that happens is if
835
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,900
you're that defense Miss again,
so I'm going a plus, I'll member
836
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:24,400
my teachers and well he's got a
decent arm but he runs his own
837
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,900
reads.
We better get to the edge quick
838
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:32,600
or as you know from playing to
can't think that way because I'm
839
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,200
sure you from coaching and
playing something changes on the
840
00:48:35,207 --> 00:48:36,800
team.
Like, hey guys, were going to do
841
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,900
this coach, you didn't tell us
this all week.
842
00:48:40,900 --> 00:48:42,100
What are we supposed to do
again?
843
00:48:42,700 --> 00:48:45,500
You know, being in game?
You can't make flies like that
844
00:48:45,500 --> 00:48:50,900
not in one quarter, you know?
So that's why I'm going a plus.
845
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,400
All right.
Last night, fun times, fun
846
00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:00,000
times, running backs.
And guys, please Curtis what you
847
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:07,200
get the I'm going to go D, Plus
Okay, yeah, I just worried that
848
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,900
this group.
So how are you worried about
849
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:13,700
them?
And I hope all these guys proved
850
00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:17,400
me wrong.
We lost the only guy who has
851
00:49:17,900 --> 00:49:20,900
proven effective in losing the
show mcleese.
852
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,100
You know, I worry about Herbert
coming in with the, you know, he
853
00:49:26,100 --> 00:49:29,300
came primarily from a pistol.
Now we're going out of shotgun.
854
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:34,900
I'm worried about that, he's
explosive my gosh, but I just
855
00:49:34,900 --> 00:49:37,700
worry about those new laws
changes and it does it take away
856
00:49:37,700 --> 00:49:42,000
from what he does.
Great, you keep talking black
857
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,900
shit, you love him.
I can't Factor men because the
858
00:49:44,900 --> 00:49:47,900
NCAA hates the Hokies, they will
find a way to not.
859
00:49:47,900 --> 00:49:53,400
Let him get his waiver because
I'll say this if he was already
860
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,900
approved and I hope it doesn't
break in the next two hours.
861
00:49:57,900 --> 00:49:59,700
I'll totally go see plus with
this group.
862
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,800
Okay, what are you at?
Golly, you kind of gave me the
863
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,500
news good news for where are you
where you put it?
864
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,900
If I had to put a number grade
on, I go 82.
865
00:50:09,900 --> 00:50:13,600
So I'm somewhere between like
Abby and Abby - it was a big and
866
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,800
yeah.
So so here's what we got and you
867
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,100
know, it's coming, you've
already kind of prefaced it.
868
00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:24,100
But, you know, the two words I
will say is Raheem Blackshear.
869
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:27,800
And the biggest thing I'm gonna
say is coaching change.
870
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,700
So if that doesn't get approved
and the NCAA truly does hate the
871
00:50:30,700 --> 00:50:34,300
Hokies.
So I'm Kendra he blacks years,
872
00:50:34,300 --> 00:50:37,400
fully a part of this unit
integrated full .
873
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:42,200
So, with that being said, this
guy can do it all.
874
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,100
And I'm really excited to see
what you can do with this
875
00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:46,800
offense.
Biggest things are going to be
876
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,400
the screen game that's going to
pick up significantly.
877
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:54,800
This guy working in space is
impressive and the fact that
878
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,200
we're going to have him on the
field plus C.
879
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:01,700
Not as much as I was hoping for
probably but should see some
880
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:06,000
progression with he Chongqing
from the offseason.
881
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,200
You couple that with the
experience and just the bull
882
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,700
bag, downhill threat.
That that Herbert is I just feel
883
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:17,600
like this unit is probably going
to be the unit that everyone's
884
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,900
going to under rate is going to
be really shocked to see what
885
00:51:20,900 --> 00:51:22,400
their actual output is going to
be.
886
00:51:22,900 --> 00:51:25,800
Especially if you take it from
an all-purpose yards from from
887
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,700
people with the label are be
next to their name, okay.
888
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:29,900
I don't know.
That's fair enough.
889
00:51:29,900 --> 00:51:33,600
You're going to go out and see
one guy get 1,000 yards, but I
890
00:51:33,607 --> 00:51:38,200
think the combination of their
output Put from those three guys
891
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,900
plus anybody else that
contributes is going to be
892
00:51:40,900 --> 00:51:43,500
really good from a running
perspective and but I think in
893
00:51:43,500 --> 00:51:47,000
terms of the receiving yards
that you see from that position
894
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,100
that's going to go up
significantly and that's where
895
00:51:49,100 --> 00:51:51,600
the big gains are going to be.
Yeah, well you know, the other
896
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,700
reason, my letter grade soul is
because of the coach at this
897
00:51:54,700 --> 00:51:57,900
position at him, like him Berg.
He's running backs.
898
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,500
I want this group to prove me
wrong.
899
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,100
I want this group at the end of
the year to have so many yards
900
00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:10,800
and touchdowns That, you know,
it's it makes this look silly to
901
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:15,500
me in one guy that I think you
mentioned him.
902
00:52:15,500 --> 00:52:18,500
I think he's Sean kinky flashed.
He showed some of that David
903
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:22,900
Wilson that just makes chill.
If you're a hockey fan, and if
904
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:27,100
he grows again, he was a true
freshman last year and that's
905
00:52:27,100 --> 00:52:30,300
one thing I love about saying
about so many groups has he was
906
00:52:30,300 --> 00:52:33,200
a true freshman.
He didn't get any time in the
907
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,500
offseason or in a weight
training program.
908
00:52:35,900 --> 00:52:40,000
So I really I really hope this
group proves me wrong.
909
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,800
I feel like you're on that
optimistic side where I usually
910
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:47,700
am and you know well you gotta
think about it.
911
00:52:48,300 --> 00:52:50,100
What grade would you give the
offensive line?
912
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,200
A-Plus.
Yeah, I gave me - so they're
913
00:52:55,200 --> 00:53:00,100
running behind a good offensive
line, so you don't have to be a
914
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:03,200
rocket scientist to at least do
pretty well behind a good
915
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,200
offensive line.
Now, love it a great running
916
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,800
back is going to take that to
the nth degree, but a good
917
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,100
running back is going to be able
to be very, very productive
918
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,700
because you know, some of the
works done for them.
919
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,700
They've got a whole they got a
cutback lane.
920
00:53:20,100 --> 00:53:21,200
They've got guys that are in the
right.
921
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,900
Place that at least all they got
to do is get up in the hole and
922
00:53:23,900 --> 00:53:26,700
maybe break a tackle.
So, I mean, you know, things are
923
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:30,600
setting up where, as long as
we're not vanilla with the play
924
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:37,000
calling to a degree that hurts
us which, you know, we've had
925
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,100
some quality squabbles about
that as well, but I think that
926
00:53:41,100 --> 00:53:42,800
things are going to be a little
bit better than we were
927
00:53:42,808 --> 00:53:46,800
anticipating from a running back
room perspective, from all
928
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:52,000
right, so Hokie nation that
wraps up our great Positional
929
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,900
units as of what was supposed to
be the day before spring
930
00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:59,200
practice starts.
So we're going to put out a
931
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:04,300
Twitter poll and this is what
we're going to ask what position
932
00:54:04,300 --> 00:54:07,400
group of these four will be the
difference in 2020.
933
00:54:08,300 --> 00:54:13,100
The running backs and wide
receivers the defensive ends for
934
00:54:13,100 --> 00:54:16,800
the safeties.
Now you guys notice these were
935
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,900
our highest-rated groups.
These actually kind of looking
936
00:54:19,900 --> 00:54:21,200
at all up.
These are eyes.
937
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,600
It's that collectively rated
lower.
938
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:28,200
So which of these groups that we
think, you know we didn't put
939
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,600
the best grades own.
What do you who do you think's
940
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,800
going to step up?
And say that group, right there,
941
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,200
they're going to take Leaps and
Bounds steps and they're going
942
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,100
to be the going to make
difference in 2020.
943
00:54:40,100 --> 00:54:42,900
You like it, Brian.
I like it.
944
00:54:42,900 --> 00:54:44,700
And, you know, it's kind of
interesting because if we had
945
00:54:44,700 --> 00:54:48,400
had the same poll last year, you
wouldn't see wide receivers or
946
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,900
safety is probably in this
category.
947
00:54:52,300 --> 00:54:53,800
No.
But here they are.
948
00:54:54,300 --> 00:54:56,500
So and you know what's funny,
what a year does.
949
00:54:56,500 --> 00:54:59,300
And I think the biggest thing
with the safeties is that, you
950
00:54:59,300 --> 00:55:03,700
know, we're inserting a new
starter, and we don't know what
951
00:55:03,700 --> 00:55:06,500
that looks like yet.
We know what he can do game by
952
00:55:06,500 --> 00:55:08,200
game when we don't know what he
can do.
953
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,800
When you put stack a bunch of
games back to back and then with
954
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,000
wide receiver you got one of
your top receivers entering the
955
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,200
portal and another veteran.
That's kind of has been the
956
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,200
leader on that unit up until
this.
957
00:55:21,300 --> 00:55:25,000
Point also step away.
So yeah, it's amazing.
958
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,200
The changes a year makes even
though, you know, I think the
959
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:33,000
safeties probably maybe met
their goal last year and they
960
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,100
weren't any better than then.
We expect you but I think they
961
00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:38,900
were right there at our
expectations.
962
00:55:38,900 --> 00:55:43,000
I think wide receiver probably
under achieved on the whole as
963
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,300
terms of what we thought they
would be last year, but I think
964
00:55:46,300 --> 00:55:48,000
they definitely have room to
room to grow.
965
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,800
So I think that's why they're on
the list right now.
966
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,900
And you know what?
There's One group that would
967
00:55:51,900 --> 00:55:54,000
have been on this whole.
If we had done this last year,
968
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,300
that would been defensive
tackles and yeah, would have
969
00:55:56,300 --> 00:55:58,900
both rated them somewhere
between, I'm going to say a CMD
970
00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:03,900
+ and that group completely
overshot, their expectations is
971
00:56:03,900 --> 00:56:07,000
absolutely awesome.
Are we missing anything?
972
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,800
But the Glee Club anything.
You know, I can happen.
973
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,500
I'm sure we flop something but
I'll wait for the listeners to
974
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:18,500
call us out on that, alright?
Alright.
975
00:56:18,500 --> 00:56:21,200
So folks that's going to wrap up
this episode.
