This week we welcome special guest, owner and creator of Pick Six Previews Brett Ciancia to help us preview the Hokies and their key opponents for the 2022 season. We look at the 5 key games that could decide whether this team misses a bowl or has their first 10 win season since 2016. We also take a look at the early returns from the start of Fall Camp and the comments made by Coach Pry to the media on Wednesday.

1
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:49,300

6
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,800
Hey, Brian, Curtis, thanks for
having me on again.

7
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,900
We had a great preview chat last
time last summer and I love the

8
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:11,100
intro there.
I was ready for Enter Sandman to

9
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:15,600
start pumping through the
speaker's here, but if not To

10
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,500
get back, talking, Virginia Tech
with you guys.

11
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:18,900
And I'm very passionate fan
base.

12
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:22,200
So going through a big coaching
transition, I had a chance to

13
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,800
talk with Brent pry, and we'll
get into that in the Virginia

14
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,200
Tech portion of the show, but
excited to be back, also.

15
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000
Yeah, man.
If we, if we did saying, man, we

16
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,900
might be getting a like a season
two sisters from Metallica so we

17
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:37,200
didn't go that.
That's our buddy.

18
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,100
Jason who lives down in Roanoke,
right?

19
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:42,500
Near Virginia Tech does all our
music Force, but you know, it's

20
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:45,800
awesome that you got two here
are taught to talk to Ha and

21
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,500
let's go ahead and kick it off,
man.

22
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:50,700
You know print prai has had a
ton of success as a defensive

23
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:52,400
coordinator.
Both advancer built at Penn

24
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,900
State and when you're dealing
with the team, with a brand new

25
00:01:55,900 --> 00:02:00,600
head coach, how do you take into
account a first-time CAD coach

26
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,700
that has done as much as he did?
You know, multiple top-10

27
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:07,600
defense has every stop.
He's been at the defense first

28
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,500
year improved significantly.
How do you look at that when

29
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:12,500
you're doing this sort of
preview?

30
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,300
Yeah, well, coaching changes are
I Most Fascinating part of the

31
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:17,800
offseason.
And in fact, this is one of the

32
00:02:17,808 --> 00:02:20,200
biggest coaching carousels ever
and it's my 11th year.

33
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,800
Doing picks previews by far, the
most coaching transition we saw

34
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:26,100
this all season and yeah, Brent
/.

35
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:29,500
I had a chance to speak with him
like you said really likable guy

36
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:32,800
on the phone you know talked
about the importance of getting

37
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,000
back to recruiting in-state
seeing how that slipped off last

38
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,800
couple of years and the last
staff, but bringing back that

39
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,600
Virginia core of the roster.
But then also, to answer your

40
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,200
question, what's important about
a new coach A new coaching hire

41
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,600
his hires his coordinator hires
are crucial and looking at

42
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,000
offense.
It's almost like he got a

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,400
two-for-one deal.
Bring it in Bowen there and then

44
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,800
also Joe Rudolph.
The, the offensive line coach

45
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,900
from Wisconsin.
That's a great double double

46
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:04,300
whammy there.
So love the The Hires on offense

47
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,100
and he has a proven track record
on defense himself.

48
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,500
Leading consecutive top-10
defense has at Penn State,

49
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:14,000
they've been pretty much a
staple and defensively last five

50
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,800
years under him.
So I think you're going to see

51
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,300
more of that aggressive
attacking style of play, come to

52
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:21,900
Virginia Tech.
He'll figure out that side of

53
00:03:21,908 --> 00:03:25,000
the ball will be with Chris
Marva, foreign player of his and

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,400
then hand the keys over the
offense.

55
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,900
These experienced guys, and one
yeah, bones little bit younger,

56
00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:32,300
but Rudolph nose, you know,
offensive line, play more than

57
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:34,900
anybody.
So I like The Hires, he's made.

58
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:40,200
Yeah, and Bowens obviously, you
know, had some quasi

59
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,700
play-calling responsibilities
under a couple other big names

60
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:46,300
there as well, so you got to
feel Pretty confident about

61
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:49,100
that.
Let's let's take a look at that

62
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:50,700
offense though.
While we're talking about Tyler

63
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:54,500
Boeing kind of a similar
question to the pry one we've

64
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:59,500
got a portal transfer
quarterback in.

65
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:03,300
Grant Wells coming in with
experience, pretty good amount

66
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:06,800
of experience but that
experience came with the, with a

67
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,900
different team and in a weaker
conference, how do you really

68
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:15,400
way that when you're looking at,
you know, that versus what The

69
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,000
team did last season with a
completely different

70
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,800
quarterback.
That's no longer with us in the

71
00:04:20,808 --> 00:04:23,700
completely different offense.
Yeah.

72
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:26,000
So it's going to be a definitely
a quarterback battle.

73
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,900
Their Grant Wells and Jason
Brown, both guys had FCS 09.

74
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:34,700
SCSI non-power 5 experience with
Wells from our show and Jason

75
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:37,500
Brown FCS All-American.
Back in nineteen, LED South

76
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,700
Carolina to to Big upsets
though, against SEC foes last

77
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:42,700
year.
So awesome game experience.

78
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,600
But I think the bigger theme for
the offense really is just an

79
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,700
overall transition here.
You look at all the Personnel

80
00:04:47,700 --> 00:04:50,100
gone.
You're talking about quarterback

81
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:52,100
on lead, running back on the
top.

82
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:55,500
Two receivers the Tight end, and
three NFL lineman to.

83
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:57,600
And that's, that's my one of my
biggest concerns there.

84
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,300
I know that Rudolph is an
excellent offensive line coach.

85
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,700
I think it might take more than
one fall Camp.

86
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:05,900
They really get that together,
but yeah, answer your question,

87
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:07,400
their quarterback, that's wide
open.

88
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,900
But this is the quarterback
conference guys.

89
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:12,800
This year, I cover all five
power, five leagues.

90
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,300
And this quarterback, the acc's
quarterbacks are loaded.

91
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:19,100
It was really hard to whittle it
down to just two guys for the

92
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:21,400
All Conference Team let alone I
could make the argument for

93
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,900
seven guys.
So when You're compared against

94
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:26,300
this conference this year.
It's a tough spot.

95
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,400
Absolutely.
And you know, the good thing

96
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,000
about it, like you said, at
least, yes, we did lose Braxton

97
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Burmeister, he transferred out
to San Diego State, but having

98
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,700
Wells and having Brown both with
a lot of experience, at one of

99
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:45,300
the most crucial positions is
definitely key.

100
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,400
And let's talk about the
offensive side of the ball on

101
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,300
that.
You go through this data, you

102
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:56,900
look what area of the offense
needs to improve for the Hokies

103
00:05:56,900 --> 00:06:01,500
to go from that six and six six
and seven middle of the road

104
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:05,000
type team to a more productive
offense.

105
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,300
I think the key stat here would
be the pass protection.

106
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:13,300
The sacks per attempt number I
have in their sack rate, they

107
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:17,400
greeted outside the top 100 last
year 107th and and that was with

108
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,400
like I said three NFL errs and
there was a talented line

109
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:23,200
individually.
They were great in one push but

110
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,900
pass protection.
You lose Brock Hoffman Smith

111
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:29,000
tenuta I mean, they're all gone
in the pros.

112
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,200
So, you're rebuilding that
offensive line already from a

113
00:06:32,207 --> 00:06:33,700
low starting point pass
protection.

114
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:37,100
So, that's where I started at.
Surprisingly.

115
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:39,900
I kind of shocking when I saw
it, but they were top 20 in my

116
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,800
explosive passing metric hitting
on some home runs there.

117
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:46,600
But again, losing your top, two
receivers hurts, Virginia Tech

118
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,800
has really been hit by the
transfer.

119
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,000
Portal is specifically, the
receiver room.

120
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,300
It seems like the last couple of
years.

121
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:55,200
I've been covering this, so
yeah, but overall, I'd saved

122
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,300
sack rate is the number one
target.

123
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:00,700
Let me look at her follow-up
question.

124
00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:04,300
Real split on the explosive
plays because looking at the

125
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:07,000
data, explosive plays was great,
right?

126
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000
But every other past metric was
just atrocious when you're doing

127
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,600
these and you some see something
like that, like like do you have

128
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,800
to do double takes where it's
like this team's explosive,

129
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,200
passes, top 20 and then you
start looking in like how are

130
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:27,500
they over under 100 everywhere
else like how does that go into?

131
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,100
You're kind of calculations
about where your ranking a team.

132
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,900
Yeah, I try and look at
everything and, you know, it's a

133
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:36,300
pretty extensive process when
I'm previewing teams.

134
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:38,800
I'm watching spring games, I
read through all the game

135
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,300
reports from last season,
talking to coaches coordinators,

136
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:44,600
beat writers, you know,
listening in the local shows.

137
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,300
So I try and look at everything.
Yeah.

138
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,200
There are some weird ones that
come up like that.

139
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,400
I mean, maybe that was just a
home run offense, you know,

140
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,600
strikeout or a home run, maybe a
hit on a good chunk of long,

141
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,800
yardage plays, but the per play,
And the efficiency were down.

142
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,100
So of all the metrics their
explosive passing.

143
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200
And I think the more important
one is that QB rating, that's

144
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,700
kind of all encompassing.
It takes everything into account

145
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:10,200
and Virginia Tech was 82nd
there.

146
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,900
So yeah, it's a lot of data to
Crunch through.

147
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,400
Yeah, they're definitely tells a
story.

148
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,300
Do you look at things like
offensive Drive, efficiency?

149
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:23,300
Or any of those kind of advanced
metrics, not so much to drive

150
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:26,200
efficiency.
I like the per play stuff and I

151
00:08:26,207 --> 00:08:29,800
also like my offense and
defense, percentiles it takes a

152
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,700
little bit further, it grades it
against the opponent's strengths

153
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:35,299
and what they've been averaging
and factors in a couple of my

154
00:08:35,299 --> 00:08:38,299
other metrics there.
So I don't really do the drive

155
00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:42,700
numbers that you see elsewhere.
You know I kind of just geared

156
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:44,600
towards what makes sense to me
and what is work.

157
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,900
My formulas and yeah, I like the
/ placed off and when you look

158
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:52,300
at it there at the bottom of the
Virginia Tech offense page if

159
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:54,100
fell off a cliff last year
offensively.

160
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:57,800
So hoping to turn that around
for you guys Hunters are and I

161
00:08:57,808 --> 00:09:00,500
love what you say that you look
at the comparisons of the team

162
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:02,200
they're playing again.
So if they're playing against a

163
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:04,900
bad defense and they blow up all
offensively, I'm sure you're

164
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:08,000
like well they should have if
they're playing a bad defense

165
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,400
and struggle offensive ly you're
like okay there's some problems

166
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,200
there, let me ask this we talked
about The offense.

167
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,700
Let's talk about the defense.
The defense.

168
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,100
Looking at your magazine, lot of
yellow, which not terrible, but

169
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:24,700
not great.
What do they have to improve on

170
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:28,600
this year?
To have a successful season

171
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,800
under Brent Pride from talking
with Coach cry knowing his past

172
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,300
record.
What do you think they will

173
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:36,200
improve?
Yeah well you talk about the

174
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,800
staff box there.
It's a lot of yellow.

175
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,600
There is one green line that's
key for this next year and

176
00:09:40,608 --> 00:09:43,700
that's returning production.
Virginia Tech, top 25 and

177
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:46,800
returning production on defense.
And that's usually a clear

178
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,900
indicator year every year a
pointer towards Improvement.

179
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:52,400
So he has a lot of experienced
players coming back.

180
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,100
The linebacker Duo decks how I
feel and Alan Tisdale really

181
00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:59,900
strong You out there a couple
all-conference contenders in the

182
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,600
in the secondary.
So, to answer your question of

183
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,500
what the weakness or the point
of emphasis should be, is that

184
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:09,000
run defense and the defensive
line, you know, that's, they

185
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
were outside.
They were below average in all

186
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,100
my rushing defense metrics last
year.

187
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,900
And, you know, you got to
fortify that Center the defense.

188
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:19,500
So, like I said, linebackers
look, strong and experienced

189
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:21,900
same with the defensive backs,
there's some upside their

190
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:23,800
defensive line looks like the
question mark.

191
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Yeah, I think that that's what
we're concerned about as well,

192
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,100
when we're looking at this
defense and not just from Top in

193
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:38,100
talent and ability there, but
also looking kind of down the

194
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:41,900
depth chart and not seeing a
whole lot of experienced talent

195
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:44,800
in that group.
So, defensive line, definitely a

196
00:10:44,808 --> 00:10:48,200
concern for us, especially as
you said on that, that run

197
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,000
stopping portion because there's
only so much with an attacking

198
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,200
style defense that that you can
do against the run.

199
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,300
It's obvious obviously going to
put the quarter Back is going to

200
00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:01,100
get rid of the ball, a lot
quicker if you bring a lot of

201
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:03,100
pressure.
But there's only so much you can

202
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:05,400
do on the Run game from a scheme
standpoint.

203
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,000
So, you know, we'll see what
Brent Pride dials up for that.

204
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,500
Let's go ahead and turn it over
to some of the opponents that

205
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:16,800
the Hokies face.
And we'll start with the with

206
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,200
the first big opponent of the,
of the season for the Hokies,

207
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,700
the Boston College Eagles.
Let's start it here, though.

208
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:29,700
Let's say we got your Kovac.
He's returning.

209
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:36,500
If he can return to form this
season, can they be better than

210
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:40,100
they were predicted to be last
season before he lost so much

211
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:43,700
time.
Well, tricky question there

212
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:46,000
because you got to look back to
where they were projected last

213
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
year and they were actually
projected, second or third in

214
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,600
the Atlantic division was sounds
hard to believe looking back on

215
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,400
it.
But optimism was running very

216
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,400
high for Boston College this
time last year.

217
00:11:55,408 --> 00:11:58,700
Year it was supposed to be the
best offensive line that they've

218
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:01,400
ever had the best receiver core
they've ever had in field.

219
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,900
Reykjavik was ready to take that
next step towards all-conference

220
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:06,800
and really none of it clicked.
Of course, he went down to

221
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,600
injury three games in and the
offense fell off a cliff right

222
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,800
away.
You know, when he was not in the

223
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,000
lineup, they were second worse
in America, or I should say, in

224
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,300
power 5, so it's huge getting
him back.

225
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:22,600
But the problem now is that
great offensive line, they were

226
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,300
supposed to have, they're all in
the pros.

227
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:26,700
Now it's an Fire rebuild up
front.

228
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,100
The lone starter coming back,
Christian mahogany.

229
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:30,800
He could have pushed for for
all-conference.

230
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:33,400
He got injured in Spring ball,
so he's out.

231
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:36,600
So yeah, a complete rebuild on
the offensive line and when you

232
00:12:36,608 --> 00:12:39,000
look back on some of them, you
know, some of their games, and

233
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,800
their scores, and their, their
grades that I have in there, my

234
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,200
game, greater, they Place,
pretty poorly last year.

235
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,100
So I have them down all the way
in sixth place in the Atlantic.

236
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:51,300
Yeah.
Last year was it was a big talk

237
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:53,600
of BC, potentially being that
team, that could challenge

238
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,500
Clemson with Phil and like you
said, that offensive line.

239
00:12:57,500 --> 00:13:01,100
It's a rebuilding and it feels
like BC every few years, they do

240
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:04,500
rebuild the offensive line but
they're they're you know,

241
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,200
they're the reduction of
returning is not as much in on

242
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,800
the defensive side of the ball.
They were turning a little bit

243
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,000
more there.
You know second year under half

244
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,700
of who is a defensive guy, but
is the defensive line, their

245
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:19,700
biggest question mark.
And in the 2022 on that side of

246
00:13:19,708 --> 00:13:22,300
the ball.
Yeah, it's probably a similar

247
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:25,300
answer to what I just gave for
Virginia Tech, you know, the

248
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:27,600
experience and the star power on
Boston College.

249
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,900
Defense comes in the secondary
and the linebacker room and

250
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
especially that secondary.
They were it's hard to believe

251
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,800
that they were number three in
the country and passing yards

252
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,900
per game.
Allowed pass defense was strong

253
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:42,000
and the headliner, there is, who
is that?

254
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,700
It's Jaden would be.
Who was a former Florida State

255
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:47,200
Blue Chip recruit that haffley
flipped brought him up to Boston

256
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,200
College.
And he's been excellent out

257
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,900
there, so strong.
Secondary improving linebacker

258
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:55,800
core defensive lines, probably
the weakness and then that

259
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:01,100
they're rushing stats, show it.
So Yeah, that's what we had

260
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:03,500
identified as well.
Just looking at your work and

261
00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:05,100
looking looking around.
It looks like they're going to

262
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,100
be pretty thin on that defensive
line in terms of returning

263
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:11,300
production and just strength.
Overall, let's turn it over to

264
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:16,400
UVA.
UVA, you know, they got a great

265
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,400
wide receiver room, great
quarterback.

266
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,200
Looks like they're going to have
a improved running back room

267
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,800
heading into 2022, but will this
team be able to overcome the

268
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,900
mass Exodus that they Had on
that offensive line.

269
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,700
Yeah, that's that's a problem
for them.

270
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:35,400
And in a transition year to lose
the entire front four, linemen

271
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,100
transferring out.
And then a couple of them were

272
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:42,000
all-acc honors.
So there's some big shoes to

273
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,100
fill their and yeah, and you
wonder if that's going to hamper

274
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:48,400
the progress of Brandon
Armstrong, he was a do-it-all

275
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,000
machine last year.
Put up incredible stats, the

276
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,200
offense was humming but really
the problems were in the defense

277
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,100
and I don't see an overnight fix
their they have some Fewest

278
00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:01,600
returning production in America.
It's a coaching transition year

279
00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:06,100
and while I do like the higher
radzinsky definite transition,

280
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,100
it has transition your written
all over it.

281
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:10,700
So they're going to need to
outscore teams.

282
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:12,600
They certainly can with
Armstrong but he's going to need

283
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,500
protection.
That receiver core is one of the

284
00:15:15,508 --> 00:15:18,400
best in the conference though
and all that Firepower is back

285
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,600
again, don't forget, they got,
they get back, Lavell Davis, who

286
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,200
was a great freshman there two
years ago, it was out last year,

287
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,300
and in return to the lineup.
So a lot of Firepower on

288
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:30,400
offense.
Yeah, their biggest question,

289
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,700
there is definitely that old
line and we saw at the end of

290
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:36,000
last year, it was, it had a
couple good players, but overall

291
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,300
they were beat up and you know
you could break through and not

292
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:43,700
give Armstrong the time to make
those passes and to me if that

293
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:48,000
doesn't improve mean, they look
like again maybe a 5 to 7 win

294
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,300
team with all that offensive
power off by Firepower it, you

295
00:15:52,308 --> 00:15:54,900
know you just mentioned there,
you know, Tony Elliot hired John

296
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:58,100
rosinski as a defensive
coordinator lot of Access that

297
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:05,000
Air Force you know with the
military school there but their

298
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,200
secondary has been absolutely
horrible the last few years

299
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,200
which is shocking on the Bronco,
Mendenhall being a defensive Guy

300
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:16,300
having a track record so can
rosinski get their pass rush

301
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:18,800
enough to really cover up that
week secondary?

302
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,800
Or is it going to be another
long year for them on the

303
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,300
defensive side of the ball?
Yeah.

304
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:27,400
Well first off I like to hire
like a hit on and and obviously

305
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,000
Coach Elliot did too.
He said they crossed paths in

306
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,600
the coaching clinic and, you
know, he was, he found it

307
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,700
appealing, that radzinsky had
success recruiting within some

308
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:38,400
stuff confines.
I mean, I know it's a loose

309
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,600
comparison but the military
credentials to get into the air

310
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,900
force compared to the high
academics of UVA.

311
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:46,800
He made that comparison.
So take that with a grain of

312
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,600
salt but it looks like a good
fit, you know, Virginia

313
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,900
experimented with three man base
last year and really backfired

314
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:56,600
and that's really been rosinski
bread and butters is 34 base.

315
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,300
So, We'll see if he has a better
chance at rebuilding.

316
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:04,000
It last year was a disaster and
and you lose a lot of star

317
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,800
players.
So yeah, I don't see any

318
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,300
overnight fix longer-term, looks
okay, but that's kind of why I

319
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:13,300
have Virginia outside the top
three.

320
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:15,900
I had them tied.
Actually with Virginia Tech

321
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:20,000
forth in the coastal behind.
Miami pit and UNC.

322
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,300
Yeah, it's going to be a big
head to head.

323
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,400
Yes.
Especially after the field

324
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,599
storming last year on opponent
Turf.

325
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,100
So That's a great for the
Rivalry but we have Stadium.

326
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:32,300
North Lane Stadium.
North Brett.

327
00:17:32,300 --> 00:17:35,400
Just always remember.
Yeah, that was incredible to see

328
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,500
and that that actually wasn't
the only one I saw out in the

329
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:41,000
apple cup, Washington State,
fans, stormed Husky Stadium,

330
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,600
husky field, wherever the cone
and you Dove and planted a flag

331
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,800
there.
So it's a new trend.

332
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,300
I'm seeing opposing field
storming, exactly?

333
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,500
All right.
Well, let's take a look at

334
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:55,300
probably a field storming that
will never happen at either.

335
00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:57,500
Location is when Virginia Tech
players.

336
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,600
West Virginia for the Black
Diamond trophy.

337
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,800
One of the most heated rivalries
in the 90s and early 2000s, came

338
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,000
back in 2017.
They now play a home and home

339
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
last year in Morgantown where
the Hokies came up inches short

340
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:14,400
from taking out a dub.
But a lots changed in up there.

341
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,500
Neal Brown is third year in the
biggest is on the offensive side

342
00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:20,900
of the football.
He is going are a with G Peril

343
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:23,300
hail recruited.
The guy he was coaching out at

344
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:27,000
USC JT, Daniels, gets him pick
some up out of Georgia, you

345
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,200
know. they sing some blue-chip,
quarterbacks and Harold himself

346
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,700
has seen some blue-chip,
quarterbacks Is the Airaid

347
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:37,500
system going to be enough of a
difference to improve this

348
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:42,200
offense than what they've looked
like the past few years which is

349
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,500
just been kind of men.
Yeah it's been a really weak

350
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:48,400
offense.
They've been defense first under

351
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,500
Neil Brown and it's kind of hard
to believe given his offensive

352
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:53,700
background.
He used to call it as NASCAR

353
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:56,800
offense of how fast they were in
between snaps running to the

354
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:57,900
line.
None of that.

355
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:00,500
Even they didn't come close to
that, it West Virginia so far.

356
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:05,100
So complete overhaul, Glee, we
saw Graham Harrell turn around

357
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:09,300
USC, overnight program out there
that was known as tailback you

358
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,700
for generations and he comes in
and says, no, no more.

359
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:14,500
Tailback we're going 5 wide,
Throwing It All Over the field.

360
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,000
Now, they put up great numbers,
so he's turned around and

361
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,400
offense before coming in here.
Yeah, you bring in a former

362
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,000
five-star.
Our mats, it's rare to pull off

363
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,400
like that and yeah, I think the
JT Daniels, I'll ask some

364
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,000
success here he was.
I thought he was fine at Georgia

365
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,200
to but, you know, it's going to
be hard to Or take steps and

366
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,100
Bennett.
So he wanted to try a new power

367
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:37,300
5 opportunity.
The problem I don't think will

368
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:39,300
be the offense.
It's this huge transition that

369
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:42,200
they have on defense.
Basically, the entire units gone

370
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,600
except for Stills, in the middle
who's who's a great talent

371
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,600
himself but complete rebuild on
defense.

372
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,100
So it looks like they're their
strength kind of flipped this

373
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,800
time around.
Yeah, and flipping to the other

374
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,800
side of the ball, they kind of
look like our wide receiver

375
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,300
room.
They had a mass Exodus to the

376
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:01,200
transfer portal from, from that
side.

377
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,000
And they were solid of sometimes
inconsistent in 2021.

378
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,300
They return their best defender
though Dante.

379
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:12,700
Stills, does this team still
have enough town on that side of

380
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:17,000
the ball and downstream in the
to and 3D to really fill those

381
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,600
holes that the portal created?
I don't think so, to be honest,

382
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,400
I mean, first off, you look at
They brought in and this wasn't

383
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,100
anywhere near a top-10 transfer
class or anything like that.

384
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:28,900
So it was all one way it was.
It was out the front door,

385
00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:32,800
exiting the program and these
guys weren't transferring down.

386
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,700
They weren't guys that went to
the FCS level.

387
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,300
I mean, most of these guys were
plucked off by other power 5

388
00:20:37,300 --> 00:20:42,000
defense, has now Darrell Porter
and Method or both to Miami.

389
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,700
Who else you got a guy going to
Colorado?

390
00:20:44,700 --> 00:20:47,100
Jackie Matthews down the
Mississippi State, and don't

391
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:49,400
forget this time.
Last year, their best defender

392
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,200
on the team.
Tai Chi Smith was Just Away by

393
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,900
Georgia.
So it's a talent drain on

394
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:58,100
defense.
No, real big transfers coming in

395
00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:01,000
as a class and then you look
back to the recruiting profile

396
00:21:01,300 --> 00:21:04,700
and it's outside the top 40.
So, I don't see any reason why

397
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:06,400
that will be an overnight fix
for them.

398
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,700
All right, the one thing I love
about you.

399
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:15,900
Brett is you admit when you're
wrong reading, the magazine

400
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,000
night, open it up and you
immediately said I was

401
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,400
completely wrong UNC last year.
Many people do not do that.

402
00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:26,700
I respect the hell out of you
because you open up one of the

403
00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:32,000
first few pages you admitted it.
Now this year you can see has

404
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,100
one of the worst production
returns after the loss of Hal

405
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,900
and tie Chandler. 2,000-yard
running back the good.

406
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:41,800
Sketcher and Josh Downs is
really their only proven

407
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,700
offensive weapon.
They do have some line returning

408
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:48,700
but I mean is this team going to
be able to reload with the

409
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:53,600
unproven depth or do they look
again like last year a 6 win

410
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,500
team?
Yeah well that's a great Point

411
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:58,900
talking about last year's pick
and you know it's a point of

412
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:00,900
Pride to have the most accurate
magazine.

413
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:03,800
I have the five-year title so I
do like the to celebrate the

414
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,500
wins but like you said, you got
to acknowledge the losses and

415
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,500
make no doubt about it.
The UNC pick last year was the

416
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:11,200
worst pick I've ever done in 10
years.

417
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,900
I mean, it's just did nothing
came true.

418
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,900
They were a completely different
team than what we saw the year

419
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:17,300
before and yeah, it was a total
Miss.

420
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:20,800
So, here we are in 2022.
It's a program that has improved

421
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,900
it yet and I don't see why they
will it.

422
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,600
I can't I can't take him high
again until they go out and

423
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,600
prove it themselves.
And you know, Sam Howell gone at

424
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,000
quarterback.
Some offensive linemen are gone

425
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,800
but that offensive line
themselves.

426
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,400
It was pretty weak.
Last year.

427
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,300
Pass protection.
Was weak.

428
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:38,600
What else we got?
Got ya.

429
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,500
So I mean they have a great
recruiting profile.

430
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,700
You're just waiting for that to
click and it's just hasn't yet.

431
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:45,700
So you know, it's a matter of
time.

432
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:48,600
You'd say, I like their change.
I bring it in gene, chizik on

433
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,000
defense, getting some
aggressiveness from attacking

434
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,300
style and defense.
They were to finesse on their

435
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:55,500
Bateman.
So maybe that triggers a, you

436
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:59,300
know, a switch here.
But for now I have them third in

437
00:22:59,300 --> 00:23:00,800
the Atlantic or third the
coastal.

438
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,600
I should say, sorry, and 40th,
overall, Yeah, that's that's my

439
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,100
question on defense, you know,
yet she isn't coming in,

440
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:11,700
obviously, Bateman that.
That that defense just couldn't

441
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:15,700
get going last year but you
talking about that returning

442
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:17,700
production?
Everything is this the success

443
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:19,100
for this team?
Really going to depend on how

444
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:21,000
much better that defense has
this year.

445
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:24,400
Yeah, defense is huge, but
really just the overall program

446
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,000
mindset.
I mean, when you listen to Mack

447
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,400
Brown speak, he was saying how
the team was way too

448
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,900
overconfident back in last
August and last September, they

449
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:33,200
are reading their own press
clippings.

450
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,200
He he says, and of all teams
Virginia Tech punch them right

451
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,500
in the mouth right away.
And and that was even that

452
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:40,600
wasn't even Saturday.
They'll even make it to the

453
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,000
opening day was Thursday night
and that that pic was thrown out

454
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,200
the window right away.
But but no, I think that you saw

455
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,200
it all season.
They were quitting during playes

456
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,700
quitting during games.
So I think this goes deeper than

457
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:55,900
just an X's and O's, they got to
have a whole culture rebuild up

458
00:23:55,900 --> 00:23:59,300
with in that Locker.
Got it?

459
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:02,100
Yeah, that makes sense.
Let's go ahead and flip it from

460
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:06,400
you and see to the team that won
the ACC last year.

461
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:12,100
The Pitt Panthers How much
higher would pits returning

462
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:18,400
production be if Addison did not
leave and let's also add this in

463
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,200
there.
Is he the bigger loss or is

464
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,200
their offensive coordinator?
Whipple that that left.

465
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,600
Okay, that's great question.
So I think the Addison's a

466
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,600
bigger loss in the immediate
term.

467
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,300
I mean that was a playmaker.
Do it all guy Biletnikoff winner

468
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:37,900
for Forex ache.
So yeah.

469
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:41,700
So losing him in the fashion
that he left very bizarre but

470
00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:44,400
yeah that certainly hurts
because with him coming back

471
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,600
this this offense was looking
perfect besides a quarterback

472
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,200
and you brought him to power 5
experienced guy, Keaton slovis

473
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,300
and looked like all five
offensive lineman or back and

474
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:55,500
and that this offense wasn't
going to miss a step.

475
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,300
But now you know how big a
difference a guy makes you look

476
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:00,800
back.
Now you can argue okay?

477
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,000
The Heisman candidate is gone.
The blind, the cough Winters

478
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,900
gone and The Mastermind Behind
The Thing, Mark Whipple's gone.

479
00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:10,100
So that shift more towards a
transition Year, my opinion and

480
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,300
you know, very physical team.
Their strength is really the

481
00:25:13,300 --> 00:25:15,500
defense.
I talked to opposing coaches in

482
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:18,400
the Atlantic division and
Coastal Division and they all

483
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,600
mention pits physicality and you
see it especially that defensive

484
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,100
line.
So that'll carry him again.

485
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:25,500
I think there's still a solid
top.

486
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,800
Top 20 team, but questions on
offense now.

487
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,300
Yeah.
And you kind of answer it there

488
00:25:31,300 --> 00:25:35,500
about the level of success for
20 or 21 how much their defense

489
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:37,700
is going to have to stay
especially their past defense

490
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:40,300
because nor doozies known as a
defensive mind.

491
00:25:40,300 --> 00:25:42,300
And he is a very good defensive
coach.

492
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:48,000
We hate him down in Blacksburg.
And there's the white Vic.

493
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:52,500
Virginia, Tech Legends chiming
in about they should be solid

494
00:25:52,900 --> 00:25:56,600
but to get back to that.
Let's say nine.

495
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,200
Ten wins.
How big of a step does that pass

496
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,600
defense have to take because if
it's only mediocre, are they

497
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,800
back to where they were at like
20 1920, 18 wins seven or eight

498
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,700
games and just not looking as
good?

499
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,300
Well, it's a great question, I
think, when you look at patent

500
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:16,000
are doozies track record as a
defensive coordinator and now a

501
00:26:16,008 --> 00:26:19,800
defensive minded head coach, his
defenses are always the same.

502
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,700
They're always attacking their
always leading the league and

503
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:23,400
leaving the conference.
I'm sorry.

504
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:27,100
Placing the national top 10,
even in tackles, for loss sacks,

505
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,900
my - play Metric.
Loves them and, and you see it.

506
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:34,200
But on the other side of the
coin there, by bringing, so much

507
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,400
resources in the blitz there,
Overexposed in the pass game in

508
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,500
the secondary.
So you see more long yardage?

509
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,800
Breakdowns if they don't hit
home on their sacks.

510
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,700
So all that to say this
defensive line is strong again,

511
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,400
can't see earned All-American
honors last year he's back and

512
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,100
the linebacker group does lose a
couple multi-year starters.

513
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:56,000
But again such a proven track
record on to the staff.

514
00:26:56,300 --> 00:26:59,000
Charlie Partridge one of the
best coaches, they're on the

515
00:26:59,008 --> 00:27:02,200
defensive line and I really
trust the pit rebuilds and

516
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,100
OneNote to leave you with with
pit.

517
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:07,100
Is that over the last three
years, in my defensive

518
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:10,400
percentile average their fourth
in the nation, only behind a

519
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,300
Laburnum.
I'm a Georgia, Clemson pits

520
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:15,400
right there, number four, so
yeah, the secondary might have

521
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,000
some problems.
But overall is the defense,

522
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,200
there are proven commodity Yeah
absolutely.

523
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,700
And it's every year he proves
it, you know, we've gotten a

524
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:27,300
couple, we've got him a couple
of times and when you get if he

525
00:27:27,300 --> 00:27:30,700
is it's actually a fun, sideline
show to watch because he gets

526
00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:33,400
really angry when his team's
getting beaten, especially on

527
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,500
the defensive side of the ball.
All right?

528
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:37,800
I'm gonna flip this because we
got a few more minutes with you

529
00:27:37,808 --> 00:27:40,400
here.
You got NC State.

530
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,900
Clemson in my name is your
three.

531
00:27:41,900 --> 00:27:49,600
Highest ranked ACC teams Could
any of those team cracked the

532
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,700
playoffs?
In your opinion, if things break

533
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:55,200
the right way?
Well yeah.

534
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,700
I mean of course anybody can
break it.

535
00:27:56,700 --> 00:27:57,900
Here's the here's what's got to
happen.

536
00:27:57,900 --> 00:27:59,700
You've got to win the conference
with one loss.

537
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:02,400
So you got to come out of their
12 and 11 or 13 to know

538
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,500
obviously but twelve and one
pretty much cements you a ticket

539
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:08,800
to the playoffs and you saw with
pit last year, a surprise team

540
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,400
out of nowhere.
They would go in the coastal and

541
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:13,300
they win the conference but
they're sitting there with that

542
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:15,300
second loss.
That that Mac loss at the

543
00:28:15,308 --> 00:28:18,000
beginning of the Season really
cost them had.

544
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,700
They have just taken care of
business against the Mac team.

545
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:23,600
They be 12 + 1 and undoubtedly
in the playoffs last year.

546
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,400
So, So yeah, the question really
is, can somebody go 12 in 1 in

547
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,100
this league?
And I think it's a really

548
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:32,700
crowded conference now,
especially the Atlantic is

549
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:35,200
loaded at the top.
It was really a tough exercise,

550
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,200
trying to parse that out the
top-5 over there.

551
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,900
I mean, Clemson's The Proven
commodity The Proven Dynasty NC

552
00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:42,900
State looks like it's their best
team in school history

553
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:45,800
especially defensively and the
quarterback with Evan Leary.

554
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,500
So a lot of high upside there
Wake Forest, they continue to

555
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:51,200
win games.
They're the defending Atlantic

556
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,700
Champs, but then seems like
Florida State in Louisville.

557
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:55,900
I have Skyrocketing in the right
direction.

558
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,500
Florida, State led by the
defense Louisville by their

559
00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:00,000
offense.
If they can get some

560
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,200
complimentary play from their
other sides of the balls.

561
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,800
That's a lot of quality teams in
the ACC.

562
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,400
So long story short, I think
they're going to beat each other

563
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,100
up at the top, you're going to
have a two or three lost champ

564
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,600
and that shouldn't be a knock on
the conference.

565
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,900
I think it's stronger than it
was a year ago and is trending

566
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:19,900
in the right direction.
Albeit, maybe not a playoff

567
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:22,900
Contender this year.
Yeah, let me get one quick

568
00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:25,100
follow-up on that.
So, You talk to the Clemson

569
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:27,500
being established team if
they're going to be the team

570
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:29,900
that since as conference
champion at the end of the year,

571
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:32,100
is that all going to revolve
around?

572
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,600
How good DJ you plays this year?
Absolutely.

573
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,500
And but he needs some help to I
mean, last year the receiver

574
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:42,400
core was banged up and it fell
down to a lot of true freshman

575
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,300
and redshirt freshman and they
just couldn't produce.

576
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:48,600
And then the offensive line, the
offensive line had best staple

577
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,200
for them.
Usually finishing number one, in

578
00:29:50,208 --> 00:29:53,200
the country, in yards per carry,
all those etn Seasons, they were

579
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,400
always number one, So that took
a step back.

580
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,800
So nothing was really clicking
at all.

581
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,300
They were stuck in the mud and
then yes, of course DJ you is is

582
00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:03,000
under Center and he's the
triggerman but everything else

583
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,700
around and failed soon.
Clemson's going through a double

584
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:09,100
coordinator change to, which is
rare for such a program of

585
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:12,700
coordinator continuity.
And last bid on Clemson is that

586
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:14,900
while the other Powerhouse
programs have embraced the

587
00:30:14,908 --> 00:30:17,700
transfer portal and and used it
to bring in all-conference

588
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:19,900
caliber guys to patch up some
roster.

589
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:22,200
Holes Clemson's really been anti
portal.

590
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,000
So I wonder if that starts to
catch up to him.

591
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,600
Um and so I'm not confident that
they return to the playoff.

592
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:30,300
We got a couple more minutes
here and I'm going to ask one

593
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:33,700
National question and then we're
going to let you get out of here

594
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:36,800
and do some promo.
I'm not going to count.

595
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:42,400
Utah, Utah, as your number 14,
Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia.

596
00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:46,600
The three Blue Bloods, which of
those three could you see,

597
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,400
missed the playoffs, you've
looked at the data, you do see

598
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,200
them as the three of the best
teams in the country, but what,

599
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,500
which one of them is walking on
thin ice?

600
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:01,200
Where if they make one mistake
or have one position get hurt,

601
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,400
it could really basically in
their chances to making it to

602
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,500
the National Championship.
Yeah, that's a great question.

603
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:11,900
I think I'll take the two SEC
teams just given the fact of how

604
00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:15,300
rare and hard it is to cram two
teams from one League into the

605
00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:18,100
playoff bracket.
So they're both on thin ice.

606
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:21,300
They don't have much margin of
error of those two options.

607
00:31:21,300 --> 00:31:25,500
I'd say Georgia is the is has a
weaker link just on on their

608
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:29,500
youth and I know that's a boring
answer but they just set an NFL

609
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:33,300
record, 15 draft picks and could
get, was the murderer the most

610
00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:36,800
ever first round of fenders.
And Most offenders in the first

611
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,800
three rounds also.
So and the thing about Georgia

612
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,600
they do rotate their players a
lot.

613
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:44,500
So it might not be quote unquote
returning starters but they're

614
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:46,700
experienced.
But still I mean, when you're

615
00:31:46,700 --> 00:31:51,700
trying to fit two SEC teams into
a 14 bracket I'll say George is

616
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:57,300
the weak link there.
Makes sense plus can Stetson

617
00:31:57,300 --> 00:32:00,700
Bennett and underrated
quarterback play like he did

618
00:32:00,700 --> 00:32:03,100
last year after you have two
full-time starting job.

619
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,100

So I love talking football and
August and the season will be

this Brett.
We appreciate it again.

648
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:27,000
It's gonna we got to make this
an annual thing, because it's

lister's, really offshore and I
gotta get back down to

652
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,600
Blacksburg.
I had once been down there, 2009

653
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:41,700
for the Nebraska game randomly,
but I want to get back there now

654
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:44,400
that I'm of age to really enjoy,
you know what I'm saying?

655
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,300
I was, there we go, but I looked
like a great time and a

656
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:51,200
beautiful campus and and
obviously the passionate fans.

657
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,200
So it's been great interacting
with so many of you online and

658
00:33:54,500 --> 00:33:56,500
the Virginia Tech media at
large.

659
00:33:57,100 --> 00:33:58,700
You know, you can tell you guys
love your football.

660
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,600
We appreciate that, bro.
You let us know if you come down

661
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,600
to Blacksburg, will try our best
to get down there as well and we

662
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,700
appreciate you coming on again
this year.

663
00:34:08,100 --> 00:34:12,400
And, you know, we look forward
to having you back again in 2023

664
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:15,600

our Hokies.

665
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,500
But man you do an awesome job of
the Magazine's awesome.

666
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:21,699
You take care of yourself out
there and have a great woman.

667
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,100
Okay, thanks Brian.
Curtis, appreciate it.

668
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,300
See you in a few see you.
Well that was fun man.

669
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,199
Yeah, it was.
When we got to the end, we did

670
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:34,199
not think we were going to get
to talk to the three other teams

671
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:38,300
with a little National picture
but we did it in guys before we

672
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:41,500
get into talking about some
things from camp and a few other

673
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:45,600
breaking stories today we are
going to take a quick pause for

674
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,300

forward slash free Dash website,

682
00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:14,500
Now back to the episode Alrighty
so Bryan we weren't going to

683
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:17,800
lead with this in the second
half but I mean when it breaks

684
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,000
like this you got to talk about
it.

685
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:24,700
This afternoon Triumph and il-1
of the lead ones for Virginia.

686
00:35:24,700 --> 00:35:29,800
Tech reports 28 additional
football players on top of the

687
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,700
four that we mentioned a couple
weeks ago have signed with

688
00:35:32,700 --> 00:35:38,500
triumphs getting an investment
of up to 300 thousand dollars.

689
00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:42,900
So the young guys get A little
cash in the pocket.

690
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,000
Yeah, yeah, we're spread the
love a little bit here.

691
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,500
I like that.
We're getting money into more

692
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:52,500
players hands on the active
roster.

693
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:56,700
You know whether you think this
goes far enough or whatever.

694
00:35:56,700 --> 00:35:59,900
Yet I agree.
There's other schools out there

695
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:03,600
doing more, but you got to
celebrate the wins when they

696
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,400
come and this is definitely a
win, no matter how you slice it,

697
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,500
especially, you know, spreading
that out over twenty, eight

698
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:13,500
additional players.
Shout out to Brandon Hill and

699
00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:16,200
Kevin Jones, a part of that
Collective putting these things

700
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,400
together for these athletes.
Nothing.

701
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,000
But good things going forward
and this definitely puts us at

702
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,800
least in the conversation.
Like Brent proud, was talking

703
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,500
about with the ni L stuff.
Absolutely.

704
00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:33,600
And if you take a look at the
name's Andy, bitter, put a good

705
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,000
tweet out because the way he had
it set up, you can definitely go

706
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,300
on Triumph website and read it.
But if you look at the games to

707
00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:45,100
me, The majority of these guys
are proven, they proven, they

708
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:50,400
can play their in the 2D in, in
this, the kind of the way it

709
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,900
should be.
I mean, it's not the way it's

710
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:55,300
gonna be but the way it should
be, if you're a proven guys when

711
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:58,800
you get roughly, if you take a
look that's roughly ten thousand

712
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,700
dollars and I'm sure it's
probably some guys are getting

713
00:37:01,700 --> 00:37:02,900
the last.
Some guys are getting a little

714
00:37:02,900 --> 00:37:05,700
more and obviously you got the
top 4 guys are probably getting

715
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:09,600
a really good penny.
But there's not a name on here

716
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,600
Brian that we don't know.
Or haven't talked about it's not

717
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,700
like it's the sixth string.
I like how is he on there?

718
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:18,900
Yeah these are.
These are two big guys.

719
00:37:18,900 --> 00:37:22,900
These are guys that are seeing
the field most games if not

720
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:26,900
every game.
And I think that that's where we

721
00:37:26,900 --> 00:37:31,600
are at this point and I think
that's probably good enough for

722
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:37,400
now, but we definitely need to
keep this this train moving and

723
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:40,700
the more investment the better.
And you know, I've talked about

724
00:37:40,700 --> 00:37:44,700
it with some people at this
point, you know, when I'm, you

725
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:50,500
know, making a donation to The
Hokie scholarship fund, I'm

726
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:52,900
going to also turn around and
match that with one of the ni L

727
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:54,800
collectors from now on they you
go.

728
00:37:55,700 --> 00:37:57,500
That's the way it's got to be.
You've got it.

729
00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:59,400
You've got to look both ways
now.

730
00:37:59,900 --> 00:38:02,500
And obviously those guys are
going to have Investments,

731
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:05,000
they're going to find people,
you know, you take a look at

732
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,400
Malachi Thomas.
They found literally a it looked

733
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,200
like a Ford dealership in his
neck of the woods that wanted to

734
00:38:13,207 --> 00:38:17,300
sponsor him in Malachi was
driving on you Ranger.

735
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:18,800
I'm down the road, great for
him.

736
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:22,900
Also know that kid, so good.
Things on that front.

737
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:25,600
Hopefully we'll see more from
Some of the other collectives

738
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,900
out there but Brian.
Well first of all if you see us

739
00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:37,200
look up, yes, this would you say
earlier today Brian this is the

740
00:38:37,900 --> 00:38:41,600
from now for starting today from
now until the week of

741
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,600
Valentine's Day, there's not a
single week that doesn't have

742
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,800
football.
Nice single week.

743
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:53,600
Football is back in Camp is open
for business as of Tuesday.

744
00:38:56,100 --> 00:39:00,100
And it's just that time of year.
I'm Nicole de sac tonight, man,

745
00:39:00,100 --> 00:39:01,900
we had some pizza with some
neighbors.

746
00:39:02,300 --> 00:39:05,800
Had a couple drinks everybody
shooting Breeze and me and you

747
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,500
know, we're talking season
starting, you know, hey we're

748
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:12,600
going to get together on
Thursday nights watching all so

749
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
it's time.
It's ready man.

750
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,100
But let's talk this, let's start
Brent pry.

751
00:39:18,100 --> 00:39:27,100
Quick interview after practice
on Wednesday and Something that

752
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:29,800
I thought he was very upfront
about day one.

753
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:35,300
They had some issues about some
non competitiveness now Brian.

754
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,100
Is this something that in your
years of your you played

755
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:41,400
Collegiate football, you played
High School football, is this,

756
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,400
something that could happen on
day one?

757
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,400
Or is this kind of out of the
ordinary?

758
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:49,600
I've said it before, I'll say it
again.

759
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,600
If a Coach is satisfied with day
one, whether it's effort,

760
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,700
whether it's Just the product on
the field.

761
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:02,800
That's a red flag.
That's a red flag because no

762
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:09,200
team is out there winning day
one because it's like I like the

763
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,700
motto always say is sometimes
happy.

764
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:16,100
Never satisfied.
That's the mindset.

765
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:19,300
You need to have, as a coach
sometimes, happy never satisfied

766
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,900
and if you're satisfied on day
one, there's no way to go but

767
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:26,100
down.
So I think you know regardless

768
00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:30,100
of what the reality was that's a
good message to send to your

769
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:32,800
teen out.
The gate, they one wasn't good

770
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,700
enough, boys, get out there and
do better compete more.

771
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,800
We're not there yet.
Absolutely.

772
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:44,700
You love the messaging and then
he comes out day to and says it

773
00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:46,600
was better today.
They were more competitive.

774
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:51,400
They were more fighting.
So, you know, as much as it was

775
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,500
a message day one, there's also
the praise there to make sure

776
00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:57,000
they, you know, you're getting
in the right direction.

777
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,900
And again, we all feel it with
prai.

778
00:41:00,900 --> 00:41:03,300
He's very candid.
You don't feel like he's holding

779
00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:06,700
anything back.
And when he said this, I'm still

780
00:41:06,700 --> 00:41:10,800
trying to think.
I'm okay where we that bad and

781
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,900
now we're much better or are we
legitimately taking, you know,

782
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:18,900
the offense is making strides in
the offseason?

783
00:41:19,100 --> 00:41:21,700
I mean, I mean that could be a
million things, right?

784
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:24,700
Brian.
It could I don't know if he's

785
00:41:24,700 --> 00:41:28,200
being relative to where the
defense is, I mean typically

786
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:33,200
start a camp defenses are ahead
of the offense so the fact that

787
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,500
the offense was out there doing
anything.

788
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:40,700
Yeah.
Is either indicative of, as

789
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:43,900
process, some lack of efforts
and some lack of competitiveness

790
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:47,200
from the defense.
And it could also be that, that

791
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,400
offense has taken some strides
that those that, that

792
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,200
installation has helped that
seeing some new plays that they

793
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,600
didn't see in spring or some
some, some new formations or

794
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,200
some new routes throughout
Concepts that they didn't see,

795
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,300
in Spring, might be throwing
them off a little bit.

796
00:42:04,700 --> 00:42:06,800
It could be a combination of all
those things.

797
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:11,000
So, But it is definitely a good
sign that the offense is show in

798
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,400
life.
So early in Camp, it shows that

799
00:42:14,700 --> 00:42:17,100
the efforts that they made at
the end of spring.

800
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:20,700
And in the summer workouts are
paying some dividends because I

801
00:42:20,707 --> 00:42:23,700
know that they were talking
about a lot of installation for

802
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:26,100
the full offensive package was
taking place.

803
00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:30,300
After spring practice most of
the base stuff was put in and

804
00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:32,800
spraying and then they started
building on that as we went into

805
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,000
the summer.
Absolutely.

806
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:41,700
So hopefully, Again, there's
just a lot of unknowns and, you

807
00:42:41,700 --> 00:42:45,800
know, we talked about a few
minutes ago even though we did

808
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,800
have guys get drafted on the
offensive line, there are some

809
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,100
guys coming back with
experience.

810
00:42:53,100 --> 00:42:56,700
Like a Johnny Jordan who did not
get as much PT last year but was

811
00:42:56,700 --> 00:43:01,200
a 13-mile team Big Ten guy.
Now something that was brought

812
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,100
up and for me and you and other
fans, you look at them and you

813
00:43:04,100 --> 00:43:08,300
say why can't they play?
You know, somebody asked Prime

814
00:43:08,300 --> 00:43:10,500
and I can't remember which
report was if I did.

815
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:12,600
I'd give you the shout out,
you'll know that.

816
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,400
But he talked about guys
physically ready like Xavier.

817
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:22,400
Chaplain Lamar law and Malachi
from here in the r-va in

818
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,800
prowess.
Just up front.

819
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,300
Yeah.
Baby for six weeks, they're

820
00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:27,900
ready.
But he's like right now they've

821
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:30,800
got to adjust emotionally
socially academically.

822
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:40,300
And you know it's it tells you
that it's not just Malachi is

823
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,800
six foot three and a half and
he's 300 pounds.

824
00:43:44,700 --> 00:43:47,500
That's what I see is, I'm
looking at the NFL, that's the

825
00:43:47,500 --> 00:43:50,600
size some of those guys, but how
much important is that other

826
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,800
stuff for on for young man?
Getting to college and just

827
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,300
getting on campus in probably
the last four to six weeks?

828
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,500
I mean, yeah, it's a big
adjustment and, you know, just

829
00:44:00,500 --> 00:44:04,900
being physically, ready usually
isn't enough, you know, I don't

830
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:08,800
think this is, oh, well, you
know, he missed a block at

831
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,400
practice.
So all of a sudden, he's in the

832
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:15,100
doghouse for four to six weeks,
this is more about The maturity

833
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,800
on and off the field, this is
more about understanding and

834
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:24,000
adjusting to all these new
things that most of these

835
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,300
players are experiencing for the
first time and making sure that

836
00:44:26,300 --> 00:44:30,200
they can handle all of that and
football because being a

837
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,500
Collegiate football, player is
essentially like working two

838
00:44:34,500 --> 00:44:38,800
jobs.
And at that and that's a big

839
00:44:38,808 --> 00:44:41,500
thing.
It's a you know you wake up at

840
00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:46,400
7:00 or before every morning,
you're doing everything you need

841
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,000
to do.
Usually sometimes six, if you're

842
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,300
getting a film session in before
class and that's running until,

843
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:55,200
you know, 8:00 9:00 10:00 every
every night.

844
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,000
You're pretty much going
nonstop, especially in Camp,

845
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,000
once can't breaks, you got, you
got classes, obviously, picking

846
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,000
up there.
So there's a lot of adjustments

847
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,800
that these kids.
They're kind of taking on and,

848
00:45:07,500 --> 00:45:10,000
you know, just being physically,
there doesn't necessarily mean

849
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,200
that you're ready to play.
And and that's not talking about

850
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,200
the the social side and just
learning The Playbook.

851
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:21,000
There's that, you got to find
your place within the team where

852
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,700
you fit in and you got to make
sure that you understand the

853
00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:25,400
Playbook.
So when you get put in the game,

854
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,000
you're not making that key
mistake that that blows up a

855
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,000
play.
I love you.

856
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaking of this thing because
it goes, it says a lot.

857
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:33,900
And like you, like you
mentioned.

858
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:35,300
Those guys probably are
physically.

859
00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:38,400
A to play but they have to get
their mentally and I love you

860
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,800
saying, they've got to find
their Circle where they fit in

861
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:42,700
socially.
These got to get adjusted.

862
00:45:42,700 --> 00:45:45,000
Even though these next few weeks
are going to be, they're not

863
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,400
going to have a social life but
you got to find a way on the

864
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,900
team to fit in socially so I
love it.

865
00:45:51,100 --> 00:45:54,100
Alright so something I can't
remember if we knew this or not,

866
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,900
I didn't remember.
But last year the big heavy

867
00:45:57,900 --> 00:46:00,200
practice was in the morning will
bring for.

868
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,500
I don't do things like that.
Brent R, I won't sit in the

869
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:07,200
afternoon and he wants us.
This practice has to be hot and

870
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,900
hard.
Are you shocked not shot and I

871
00:46:10,900 --> 00:46:14,700
love it.
Oh, I know you would we you know

872
00:46:14,700 --> 00:46:19,700
we talked about it before Camp
is where that where the hard

873
00:46:19,700 --> 00:46:22,000
stuff is by the time you get to
the first game.

874
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,900
Hell even by the time you get to
that last that last scrimmage of

875
00:46:26,900 --> 00:46:31,600
camp It should be easy, Camp
should be hard camp.

876
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:36,700
Camp is meant to be hard and if
you want to get players used to

877
00:46:36,700 --> 00:46:39,100
hard, you play him at the
hottest part of the day with

878
00:46:39,100 --> 00:46:43,400
full pads on and, and that's
what I like to see.

879
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:44,900
Obviously, they're not in full
pads yet.

880
00:46:44,900 --> 00:46:49,400
They're still out there in
shells and shells, but you know,

881
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:54,000
they'll get there, and I liked
it, it's in the afternoon, I

882
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,300
like the hard.
I mean, I know I talked about it

883
00:46:57,300 --> 00:47:00,500
with with Curtis.
I mean you know we when we were

884
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:02,700
going through you know almost 20
years ago.

885
00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:07,400
Now we had 3 to 3 and a
practices three meetings a day.

886
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:12,200
We go shells in the morning,
full pads in the afternoon and

887
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,400
then we'd have a helmets.
Only walk through in the

888
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,700
evening, install, in the
morning, the afternoon, usually

889
00:47:18,700 --> 00:47:20,900
special teams emphasis in the
third meeting.

890
00:47:21,900 --> 00:47:27,700
So it was all day and it was a
lot, but that's what campus for

891
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,400
Absolutely.
Now, you've been talking about

892
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,100
the insoles to in kind of the
way.

893
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:38,000
It Brent Pride talked about it
is, they have a morning.

894
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,200
It's almost like they have a
morning install and afternoon

895
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:46,100
install, and then they do night
film reviews when you look at

896
00:47:46,100 --> 00:47:49,800
the way that set up.
So, it's install install hard

897
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,500
practice film review in the
evening which I'm guessing they

898
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:56,300
probably get there have
breakfast morning install.

899
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,300
Lunch at the facility.
Afternoon install practice

900
00:48:02,500 --> 00:48:04,900
dinner its facility.
Then a film review.

901
00:48:04,900 --> 00:48:07,600
Probably individual coaching.
Do you like the way that

902
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:13,100
structured and and why?
Yeah, I mean, it really goes

903
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:17,300
back to kind of when you look at
how people learn and things like

904
00:48:17,300 --> 00:48:21,200
that and, you know, coming for
having a teacher as a as a wife,

905
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:25,500
having kind of went through
teacher prep, myself, you teach

906
00:48:25,500 --> 00:48:30,600
a concept You let the student,
apply the concept and then you

907
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,700
correct.
And that's what we're seeing

908
00:48:33,700 --> 00:48:34,900
with how they're setting this
up.

909
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,800
You teach you teach in the
morning and the early afternoon

910
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:42,900
you go out there at the heavy
practice of the day at 4:00 and

911
00:48:42,900 --> 00:48:47,200
you apply and then you Circle
back in the evening after dinner

912
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:51,900
and you correct.
Probably looking at film because

913
00:48:51,900 --> 00:48:55,300
I'm assuming everything.
There is getting filmed where it

914
00:48:55,300 --> 00:48:59,300
can already be instructed in.
Then again, I'm guessing what

915
00:48:59,300 --> 00:49:01,600
happens next morning, so they
look at the film review.

916
00:49:01,700 --> 00:49:04,800
Do you think it's like, are they
reiterating where the errors

917
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,500
were in those morning, installs,
and then slowly building?

918
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,100
Well, the one thing after the
film review, individually with

919
00:49:12,100 --> 00:49:15,700
the players, when the players
head back to the dorms for the

920
00:49:15,700 --> 00:49:18,200
night, the coaches are now
getting together and they're

921
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,300
saying, all right, who did?
What welded a what do we need to

922
00:49:21,300 --> 00:49:24,500
emphasize?
Tomorrow is their accession in

923
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,400
installation where we need to
kind of hammer a little bit

924
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,300
more.
Is there a session in practices

925
00:49:31,300 --> 00:49:32,900
where we need a little extra
work?

926
00:49:32,900 --> 00:49:35,400
Like well, what do we see in
practice?

927
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,100
What do we see from the plays
installed and how they were

928
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:42,000
executed in practice that we
need to really work on the next

929
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,700
day.
So there's some fluidity with

930
00:49:45,300 --> 00:49:47,900
how those sessions are run in
practice and how those sessions

931
00:49:47,900 --> 00:49:51,900
are running that install.
It is awesome to hear, man.

932
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,000
So again, and just hearing
Brent, pry, you can just hear

933
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,300
the emotion in the fun, he's
having in his voice, you could

934
00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:02,600
hear in the background.
You can it sounds like the

935
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,000
players were having fun.
I'm assuming they were doing ice

936
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,800
baths and joking around.
After practice, you can do your

937
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,200
it in it and I don't felt like
we've seen that.

938
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:15,700
So again, at the players are
having fun, you know, that

939
00:50:15,700 --> 00:50:19,000
they're using you.
Let it all hang out when you

940
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,800
have fun, it's just the way it
goes.

941
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:24,300
All right, something we're going
to keep an eye on obviously over

942
00:50:24,300 --> 00:50:28,500
these next few weeks, either in
Camp, quarterback rep, watch,

943
00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:30,800
who's getting, how much who's
running with the ones?

944
00:50:31,300 --> 00:50:36,000
I think Brian right now after
spring, excuse me, after Brent,

945
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,600
prize comments, you know, in the
summer, this is really Grant

946
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:45,900
Wells jobs to lose. yeah, that
that's my feeling as well and I

947
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:50,800
don't think that there's a whole
lot that he would have to do a

948
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,500
whole lot wrong to lose it.
At this point, I feel like

949
00:50:53,500 --> 00:50:56,900
there's not much that the others
can do to pass him, it's going

950
00:50:56,900 --> 00:50:59,900
to be if he's out there being
inconsistent with the football,

951
00:50:59,900 --> 00:51:03,600
whether that's turnovers,
whether that's overthrows, you

952
00:51:03,607 --> 00:51:07,100
know, whatever it may be.
It's definitely something that

953
00:51:07,100 --> 00:51:09,500
he would need to lose.
Not something that I think he

954
00:51:09,500 --> 00:51:11,700
can be overtaken with a
performance.

955
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,100
Yep, but as much, as you say
that I still love them.

956
00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:18,300
Brent prize non-committal.
Because he's leaving that carrot

957
00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:20,200
out there.
Not only for Grant but for Jason

958
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,900
Brown and don't get me wrong.
Do I think Jason Brown could

959
00:51:23,900 --> 00:51:27,800
come in here and absolutely.
If he plays like he did against

960
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,000
Georgia Auburn in practice,
could he get up and get right at

961
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,100
Grant Wells?
If Wells, doesn't keep the pedal

962
00:51:33,100 --> 00:51:34,100
to the metal?
Yes.

963
00:51:34,900 --> 00:51:36,700
I think that could happen very
easily.

964
00:51:37,500 --> 00:51:41,200
Like, like Brett said, he was an
FCS All-American at st.

965
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,700
Francis.
He won a couple big games down

966
00:51:43,700 --> 00:51:47,100
at South Carolina last year,
we're not dealing With the guy

967
00:51:47,100 --> 00:51:50,400
who's, you know, just a
run-of-the-mill back up, the

968
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:56,400
guy's a legitimate starter and,
you know, I don't think I think

969
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,600
Wells knows it.
So I don't think Wells is going

970
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,700
to take the foot off the gas,
but I think his he knows I think

971
00:52:01,700 --> 00:52:04,500
Brown is trying to get that job.
Yeah.

972
00:52:04,500 --> 00:52:08,300
I mean Browns definitely driving
and I mean, it looks like from

973
00:52:08,300 --> 00:52:11,200
the observations from practice,
you know, Browns had some good

974
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:16,600
throws been pretty consistent.
There wasn't at least in the The

975
00:52:16,607 --> 00:52:21,400
sessions that were available to
the writers in the media.

976
00:52:22,300 --> 00:52:25,200
Anything significantly that
jumped off.

977
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:30,100
That said Wells was ahead of
brown, just on what was seem.

978
00:52:30,900 --> 00:52:33,000
Obviously, there are other
things that are factoring in

979
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,700
there, that either weren't seen
during their sessions or things

980
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:38,600
like that.
But, you know, I think the

981
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,200
non-committal thing is good for
something like this because It's

982
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,500
going to push, Grant the next 10
to 14 days.

983
00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:53,500
Yeah, to have his best practice
every day. 100%, 100% on that.

984
00:52:53,900 --> 00:52:58,200
And I think over the next few
weeks for us as fans, you know,

985
00:52:58,500 --> 00:53:02,900
listen to what Brent process in
those interviews, you know, come

986
00:53:02,900 --> 00:53:06,500
home every night, give give so
much credit to the media staff

987
00:53:06,900 --> 00:53:09,900
that one that they interviewed
at 4:00 was up by six.

988
00:53:10,500 --> 00:53:13,500
Yep.
And so it was Tomorrow Connor,

989
00:53:13,500 --> 00:53:17,000
one, and David Cunningham was
posting videos in real time.

990
00:53:17,300 --> 00:53:20,000
Andy was supposed to grab videos
in real time they were.

991
00:53:20,100 --> 00:53:22,500
And then, and then, so listen to
what the players say.

992
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:24,300
This one of the coaches, say
what process.

993
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,100
But then with David Cunningham
and a better lighting is Oleg

994
00:53:28,100 --> 00:53:31,200
Barber.
All these writers try to read

995
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,800
them, they're getting info,
they're seeing things on the

996
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,000
ground.
We've had David on this show.

997
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,900
David's an awesome guy also got
Ava back on Tuesday, we are

998
00:53:41,900 --> 00:53:44,800
having it.
Tuesday where we're going to.

999
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:49,000
We're going about alone not by
himself that there was this

1000
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,900
whole screen will be covered
next Tuesday.

1001
00:53:52,300 --> 00:53:55,100
I'm gonna see how that looks
like somebody impressive to see

1002
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,000
but see what they're saying see
what they're observing.

1003
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,100
That's how we're going to be
seeing is brown catching Wells?

1004
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:03,500
Israel's, going ahead.
All right.

1005
00:54:03,500 --> 00:54:11,400
So wide receiver, statuses I
mean fontelle Minds is becoming

1006
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,400
a star.
Yeah I mean recruiting Trail

1007
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:19,300
tearing up Richmond Brent Pride,
giving him the massive shoutouts

1008
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,400
about how his unit has developed
over the summer man.

1009
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,500
That is awesome to hear.
Yeah, I mean it seems like he's

1010
00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:29,200
developing his players and
obviously he's already out there

1011
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:33,800
on the recruiting Trail pulling
in the most Talent of any

1012
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,800
position group coach this, this
offseason.

1013
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,100
So I mean that's That's big for
him.

1014
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,000
Yeah.
And you know prosthetic that you

1015
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,600
know there's some talent that
was untapped in this unit that

1016
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:49,200
that's our new show and he said
it was a unit that has to have a

1017
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,900
great camp and I agreed because
we're going to be them to step

1018
00:54:52,900 --> 00:54:57,800
up and not only take over the
production of our two leading

1019
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:02,200
receivers from last year.
Yeah, but also be a more

1020
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,700
consistent Cog in the offense
and not just be relying on that

1021
00:55:05,700 --> 00:55:07,800
big play like Brett was talking
about.

1022
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,500
Out in the passing game?
Yep, that's the big piece that

1023
00:55:11,500 --> 00:55:14,800
you talked about, there is
having a great Camp because I

1024
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:19,800
think we see it, I think we feel
comfortable, Jaden blue, the

1025
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:24,700
Wayne Lofton Caleb Smith, they
can play at a D1 level.

1026
00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:28,200
They have to take their games
up, but it's everything behind

1027
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,900
them because if you tell me,
they take a good step in Fall,

1028
00:55:32,500 --> 00:55:33,700
okay?
That's good.

1029
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:37,300
Who are the other three guys,
took that step because if they

1030
00:55:37,300 --> 00:55:40,300
take a step up from where they
are, if they're three gas can

1031
00:55:40,300 --> 00:55:43,500
get to the level of those three
guys, then you're kind of

1032
00:55:43,500 --> 00:55:46,900
sitting here saying, okay, we
have some flexibility and I

1033
00:55:46,900 --> 00:55:51,200
know, it'll make you happy to
know, alright, what sort of

1034
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,300
formations, which were going to
talk about in just a few

1035
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:56,600
minutes, but this group must
have a great can.

1036
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,900
If they have a great Camp.
It's good thing for us now.

1037
00:56:00,700 --> 00:56:02,700
All right, Brian.
This is yours, buddy.

1038
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,300
Offensive line.
Combos /.

1039
00:56:07,300 --> 00:56:11,500
Andy bitter.
Let's start with first team.

1040
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:13,000
I don't think there is any shock
there.

1041
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,200
Silas, Deane, Z going left to
right, left tackle, Jesse,

1042
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,900
Hanson, left guard.
Johnny, Jordan Center, Caden

1043
00:56:19,900 --> 00:56:21,100
more and park.
Laments.

1044
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,300
No shock, right?
Not shocked at all.

1045
00:56:24,300 --> 00:56:27,900
That's the line that we've
anticipated really since kind of

1046
00:56:27,908 --> 00:56:30,100
Jump Street when we started
talking about this season,

1047
00:56:30,100 --> 00:56:32,500
right?
So the guys who we thought were

1048
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:36,100
going to be there or there,
Yeah, we'll see if there's any

1049
00:56:36,100 --> 00:56:40,600
movement on that but I don't the
only thing I the only position I

1050
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:45,200
think there could be movement is
at left guard and jewels, we'll

1051
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,100
see.
We'll see what that what shakes

1052
00:56:47,100 --> 00:56:50,700
out there but I think all the
other spots are firm locks and I

1053
00:56:50,707 --> 00:56:54,300
think Jesse's probably got that
pretty safe as well.

1054
00:56:54,300 --> 00:56:58,700
But not, I would say it's 100%.
He's similar to the brown Wells

1055
00:56:58,700 --> 00:57:00,600
thing.
He's got to keep his foot down

1056
00:57:00,700 --> 00:57:04,700
or somebody could take it.
Speaking of the somebody, it

1057
00:57:04,700 --> 00:57:06,800
could be one of the gentlemen,
from the second team.

1058
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,400
And let's start Bob shake at
left tackle.

1059
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,200
Braylon more.
Holy God.

1060
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,300
The guy just got flipped in the
spring, too offensive line.

1061
00:57:14,300 --> 00:57:18,400
He's already with the second
team Jack hollifield Grand.

1062
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,700
That's your sixth, right?
That that's who I think the six

1063
00:57:22,700 --> 00:57:26,100
was coming into the spring when
Brent /.

1064
00:57:26,100 --> 00:57:27,600
I was talking about, he's got
six.

1065
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,300
He feels good about.
All right.

1066
00:57:29,300 --> 00:57:31,300
The think I think Jack
hollifield was the six.

1067
00:57:31,300 --> 00:57:34,600
He's put on some good weight.
Wait, he played pretty well

1068
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:38,900
during the spring game so I did
what I think he was talking

1069
00:57:38,900 --> 00:57:46,600
about then Daniel Miller Tech
the German at Right Guard in.

1070
00:57:47,300 --> 00:57:50,300
There was a reason.
Notre Dame was trying to get.

1071
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:54,700
Johnny Garrett to come of e.
He's been on campus.

1072
00:57:54,700 --> 00:57:56,600
He's already on the too deep it
right tackle.

1073
00:57:58,300 --> 00:58:03,100
So I mean that that itself is
kind of a shock And I mean, I

1074
00:58:03,100 --> 00:58:05,900
think the braylon's if you told
me brilliant was on 13 I

1075
00:58:05,908 --> 00:58:08,500
wouldn't be shot.
Like, okay, that makes sense,

1076
00:58:08,500 --> 00:58:12,000
but the way that kids already
come in and jumped up, there was

1077
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,200
a reason, Joe Rudolph kept
fighting got him in that

1078
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,200
offensive line room.
Yeah, yeah, that movie was made

1079
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,100
right at the end of spring.
It seems to have taken pretty

1080
00:58:22,100 --> 00:58:26,800
well, that's Braylon more
fighting for that left guard.

1081
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,400
Position is really the only
thing I think is going to be

1082
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:36,700
Questionable because if he's as
good as advertised in can, can

1083
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:41,100
pick up the offense and also you
know, he's where he needs to be

1084
00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:43,800
physically.
Then I think that there's

1085
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:48,400
potential there, I think Bob
shik is holding a spot right now

1086
00:58:48,900 --> 00:58:52,700
because he has experience
playing tackle.

1087
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:58,300
I think he's kind of the just
the guy that's there is the

1088
00:58:58,300 --> 00:59:00,800
emergency tackle to Art the
season.

1089
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:05,700
I think Jonny Garrett's your
example of a guy that they're

1090
00:59:05,700 --> 00:59:09,300
trying to get him some reps
right now because he's kind of

1091
00:59:09,300 --> 00:59:12,600
switching positions, right?
So he's easing into that that

1092
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:17,300
Tackle Spot.
And I think that's going to be

1093
00:59:17,300 --> 00:59:19,000
good for him.
He's got these put some good

1094
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,100
weight on it seems.
So I think he'll get his body

1095
00:59:22,100 --> 00:59:27,100
ready for for the season and I
think getting some extra reps is

1096
00:59:27,107 --> 00:59:28,600
going to help that.
Yeah.

1097
00:59:28,700 --> 00:59:33,500
Now on the third teen big Xavier
chaplain from down South

1098
00:59:33,500 --> 00:59:36,700
Carolina and Brody, Meadows, it
guard kind of two names, most

1099
00:59:36,700 --> 00:59:39,500
known the other three guys are
Walk-Ons.

1100
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,100
You know, there were talking
about Johnny Dixon, who

1101
00:59:42,100 --> 00:59:46,900
literally just enrolled On the
go already snapping its Center.

1102
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,600
I think, you know, you look this
year, it's still a worry spot

1103
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:57,700
but when we know there are only
two guys in the front to leaving

1104
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,100
And then you start looking at
braylin and Jack and Johnny and

1105
01:00:02,100 --> 01:00:06,700
Xavier and Brody.
And knowing Joe Rudolph is

1106
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:10,000
recruiting an offensive line and
teaching offensive line.

1107
01:00:10,500 --> 01:00:13,300
Yep.
You feel like in the short term

1108
01:00:13,300 --> 01:00:16,500
we're probably going to be
better up front just because of

1109
01:00:16,500 --> 01:00:20,100
Joe Rudolph.
But in the long term knowing

1110
01:00:20,100 --> 01:00:22,700
some of these players knowing
their sizes, you looking at

1111
01:00:22,700 --> 01:00:26,800
their tape it's like Is it two
or three?

1112
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,200
Is it a next year or two years
from now?

1113
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:33,500
Where there's not a defensive
line in the country that wants

1114
01:00:33,500 --> 01:00:36,300
to go against?
You know, like an exam of your

1115
01:00:36,300 --> 01:00:42,300
Braylon Jack Caden and Parker,
like, I don't really want to

1116
01:00:42,700 --> 01:00:45,800
play them cuz I'm no, it's gonna
be nasty.

1117
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,900
I mean that's the Hope, right?
And I think when I'm looking at

1118
01:00:49,900 --> 01:00:53,000
the third team, in the sea
Xavier, chaplain sitting there

1119
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:57,800
at left tackle that Future, our
left tackle position, ladies and

1120
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,000
gentlemen.
That's that's the guy.

1121
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,700
That's probably going to be
starting for the next not

1122
01:01:01,700 --> 01:01:08,000
counting, 23 3 to 4 years.
So get ready for it.

1123
01:01:08,500 --> 01:01:10,600
I see it happening sooner rather
than later.

1124
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,900
I think if you look at the
second team if not by the end of

1125
01:01:13,900 --> 01:01:19,800
the camp by end of you know
September early October you're

1126
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:23,700
going to see chaplain in the 2D
at that at that tackle position.

1127
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,800
I think Bob shik is there until
chaplain is ready.

1128
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,500
I kind of alluded to that a
little bit earlier that that's

1129
01:01:30,500 --> 01:01:32,800
kind of what I meant.
I think the chapel is going to

1130
01:01:32,808 --> 01:01:35,100
be the guy at the left tackle
position.

1131
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:39,600
Ian, and I'm hoping that.
He's up for the challenge

1132
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:44,200
because we need him because we
are thin at that tackle

1133
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,600
position.
Absolutely.

1134
01:01:46,900 --> 01:01:50,600
All right Ron.
You saw you mentioned on me.

1135
01:01:50,700 --> 01:01:53,400
You mentioned on here and you
saw Dave and Cunningham's clip

1136
01:01:54,100 --> 01:01:57,600
what was that combo drill they
were doing that you saw and I

1137
01:01:57,607 --> 01:02:00,300
think it was Johnny Jordan I
thought I saw his Johnny's

1138
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:04,400
number, I might be wrong but
what is that something indict me

1139
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:08,600
we have seen that last year or
is this More where it's kind of,

1140
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,200
we're moving to where we're
going to do some power stuff,

1141
01:02:12,500 --> 01:02:15,400
you would have seen it last year
but it's a little bit different

1142
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,600
so you might see something like
that on inside Zone.

1143
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:25,400
But this is more of a true combo
and not just a Zone block where

1144
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,300
you're, you know, you're passing
the guy off up to the next

1145
01:02:29,300 --> 01:02:32,700
level.
This is truly an actual combo at

1146
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:35,300
the point of attack.
And so that's the drill they

1147
01:02:35,300 --> 01:02:38,900
were working on and I really
like Seeing some different

1148
01:02:38,900 --> 01:02:42,500
concepts, a little little newer,
newer concepts for for the

1149
01:02:42,500 --> 01:02:46,800
Hokies really old Concepts.
If we really think about it,

1150
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:52,600
creeping back into into our
repertoire here, Nike check that

1151
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,900
out.
David Cunningham had that as a

1152
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,100
Twitter video yesterday pretty
cool to see.

1153
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:03,900
Okay I alluded to it earlier.
Brian has been telling me what

1154
01:03:03,900 --> 01:03:07,200
he hopes to see is formation
alignment.

1155
01:03:07,300 --> 01:03:08,700
Frequency.
Brian.

1156
01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:14,300
What the hell does that mean?
So I mean, y'all know I'm an

1157
01:03:14,300 --> 01:03:17,800
offensive nerd here.
I like to really dive into what

1158
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:23,000
an offense likes to do and
looking back at what we did when

1159
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:28,000
we had Robbie on kind of looking
at what we expect from you know

1160
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,400
play-calling perspective, you
just a play repertoire all

1161
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,600
together.
What type of formations were

1162
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:38,400
looking at what I want to see
from some of these practices as

1163
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:42,800
we get Peaks here and there is
the frequency, the formations

1164
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,400
that bow and is using and how he
is deploying the Personnel

1165
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,900
within those formations because
that's going to tell me.

1166
01:03:49,900 --> 01:03:53,500
Number one, Are we looking like
more?

1167
01:03:53,900 --> 01:03:58,000
What Joe Moorhead did are we
looking at what more, like, what

1168
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,400
Ricky Ronnie does, which is very
similar or we looking at a

1169
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,000
little bit of hybrid of some of
that stuff.

1170
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:09,600
But also, some NFL Concepts that
he may have picked up during his

1171
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:13,400
time in Jacksonville.
But I also want to see the, the,

1172
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:17,500
the frequency because I want to
see where these players are

1173
01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:19,300
lining up.
Whether it's, you know, blue in

1174
01:04:19,300 --> 01:04:24,500
the slot, whether it's Lon In
the slot is blue outside at all

1175
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:30,700
is is Lofton outside at all.
Are these guys getting kind of

1176
01:04:30,700 --> 01:04:34,600
moved throughout the receiver
line there?

1177
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:36,400
Or are they kind of locked in
our?

1178
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,000
These guys are outside.
These guys are slotted in.

1179
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,200
There's not much position
flexibility there.

1180
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,200
You know how often are we lining
up in trips?

1181
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:49,500
How often are we lining up in
Pro?

1182
01:04:49,500 --> 01:04:53,400
How often a relining up?
And In for why'd, you know, I

1183
01:04:53,408 --> 01:04:55,800
want to I want to see these
things and kind of get an idea

1184
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:59,700
of what this offense is going to
look like, and how that ticks,

1185
01:04:59,700 --> 01:05:02,500
we obviously know that there's
going to be heavy tight in

1186
01:05:02,500 --> 01:05:03,800
usage.
And that's not just because

1187
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:10,100
Tyler Bowen is the the tight end
Coach in the play caller, but

1188
01:05:10,100 --> 01:05:12,700
that's kind of indicative with
the Joe Moorhead style, right?

1189
01:05:12,700 --> 01:05:14,300
That the Titan gets a lot of
involvement.

1190
01:05:14,300 --> 01:05:19,000
There's going to be that, you
know, flat two-wheel concept

1191
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,700
that we have forget who it was.
Wrote an article.

1192
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,900
Oh about that.
That was talking, was it Brendan

1193
01:05:25,900 --> 01:05:27,400
overnight?
Even might have been, might have

1194
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,000
been French mime in French.
Okay, the key player.

1195
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,200
Yeah.
All right, awesome.

1196
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,000
All right, so I want to see
things like that.

1197
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,500
Obviously French is.
If you guys haven't checked that

1198
01:05:37,500 --> 01:05:40,800
out of their check that out,
it's a really good write-up of

1199
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,400
kind of what to expect for this
offense.

1200
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,700
Neither the, he always does a
good job breaking down tape.

1201
01:05:44,700 --> 01:05:46,300
Yes, he does.
Yes, he does.

1202
01:05:46,700 --> 01:05:51,300
You mentioned the NFL he was
under Darrell Bevell while with

1203
01:05:52,900 --> 01:05:55,400
While with Jacksonville.
So you kind of go back and

1204
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,400
think, where's beveled most
successful years.

1205
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,900
It was over in Seattle with
Marshawn with Russell.

1206
01:06:00,900 --> 01:06:05,600
So if you see some power
elements and Boots, some things

1207
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,700
like that, go back and look at
some of those Seahawks games.

1208
01:06:08,700 --> 01:06:10,900
Look at those Concepts, all
right?

1209
01:06:10,900 --> 01:06:13,700
Yeah, they tall athletic tight
in as well.

1210
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:18,000
Yes, they did.
All right.

1211
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:19,600
That was used a lot in the Red
Zone.

1212
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,900
Yes, he was.
All right, so bronze.

1213
01:06:22,900 --> 01:06:25,800
Something we had talked about a
couple times was out.

1214
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:27,800
Okay, who's going to be the
same?

1215
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,200
Is it going to be a rotation?
I don't think it's going to be a

1216
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:35,700
rotation anymore.
Not if things are holding, like

1217
01:06:35,700 --> 01:06:38,300
he was talking about at the, at
the after practice.

1218
01:06:38,300 --> 01:06:42,200
Presser pry, loves Chianti.
Jenkins loves him.

1219
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:44,500
He loves what he's doing on the
field.

1220
01:06:46,500 --> 01:06:50,300
He likes that the defensive back
qualities that he's bringing to

1221
01:06:50,300 --> 01:06:54,000
that position.
He likes that he's picking up

1222
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,400
things very quickly and he likes
the Improvement.

1223
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,900
He's made as far as playing more
in the Box.

1224
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,300
Yeah those linebacker traits is
what he said.

1225
01:07:02,300 --> 01:07:04,200
He's got he's learning those
traits.

1226
01:07:04,500 --> 01:07:09,900
Yeah and you know when you say
that that immediately triggered

1227
01:07:09,900 --> 01:07:12,000
Brian and me thinking, okay,
that's cool.

1228
01:07:12,500 --> 01:07:16,900
Gionta had a good season.
Last year has always been A good

1229
01:07:16,900 --> 01:07:18,000
player.
Probably.

1230
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:23,200
Now, in a role where, you know,
can he Excel the most?

1231
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:27,700
Very good potential.
But we were discussing earlier

1232
01:07:27,700 --> 01:07:30,800
today.
Who's the backup?

1233
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:35,200
And I told this is my theory and
I let Brian, you know, Compound

1234
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,400
on it.
After I back up I think Jr.

1235
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,700
Walker is the backup.
I think Jr.

1236
01:07:39,700 --> 01:07:44,600
Has more defensive back skills
which to me a little bit easier

1237
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:48,700
because if you ask to safety to
go, Rush the quarterback thing,

1238
01:07:48,700 --> 01:07:51,800
go do it.
But what I think though, is,

1239
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:55,100
even though he's going to be the
backup, I think we're going to

1240
01:07:55,100 --> 01:07:59,000
see more kalai Lawson than we
see Jr.

1241
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,900
Walker.
We're in for one reason.

1242
01:08:01,900 --> 01:08:03,400
I think there's going to be
times.

1243
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,800
We know the aggressiveness of
friends, private talked about

1244
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,000
it, we know about it, we've seen
it, there's going to be times.

1245
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,400
He just puts kalai on the field
and says, yes, he's coming.

1246
01:08:12,300 --> 01:08:15,000
Now then we were talking about
Brian.

1247
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,300
You asked, you Brian?
If that happens.

1248
01:08:18,300 --> 01:08:20,800
What are they going to do
offensively?

1249
01:08:20,899 --> 01:08:23,100
If you put kalai.
Lawson on that side of the

1250
01:08:23,100 --> 01:08:27,200
field. you're going to want to
dial up, something where you get

1251
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:32,600
the ball out, quick, because you
want to and you want to maybe

1252
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:37,899
get him split out in space,
where if he does have any

1253
01:08:37,899 --> 01:08:42,800
coverage responsibility, you're
making him have to honor that

1254
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:49,600
Because I think while he does
have some Elite athleticism and

1255
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,300
a very good straight line speed
and obviously the wingspan is

1256
01:08:53,300 --> 01:08:57,100
next level.
I think you want to get him in

1257
01:08:57,100 --> 01:09:00,600
space as much as possible in the
coverage aspect.

1258
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,899
So if you're going to have
something where you know he's

1259
01:09:03,899 --> 01:09:06,800
not just pinning his ears back.
You want to try to take

1260
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,300
advantage that way but you think
prize going to fit him put him

1261
01:09:10,300 --> 01:09:13,000
on the field to do that or do
you think he's on the field?

1262
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,899
Those ears are pin back and
you're going to have to make

1263
01:09:16,899 --> 01:09:19,000
checks, right?
You got the moves.

1264
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,100
Yeah, I think he, but I think
loss of might end up winning

1265
01:09:22,100 --> 01:09:24,399
that backup job out, right?
We'll see.

1266
01:09:24,399 --> 01:09:26,899
Okay.
I think he's got that type of

1267
01:09:26,899 --> 01:09:30,700
ability, but if there is a
weakness at this point is, it's

1268
01:09:30,700 --> 01:09:35,200
the fact that he's not quite as
Adept in the coverage aspects of

1269
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:38,000
that position.
Probably as the other two guys

1270
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:43,700
that we talked about absolutely,
all right, we'll look Backer.

1271
01:09:43,700 --> 01:09:48,100
Again, this raised our eyes even
more and kind of the way it

1272
01:09:48,100 --> 01:09:50,899
seemed as its Alan Tisdale's job
right now.

1273
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:56,200
But man is Jaden Keller bearing
down because man he talked about

1274
01:09:56,200 --> 01:10:00,800
he plays fast.
Yeah yeah and it wasn't just

1275
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,700
him.
Connor was interviewing as well

1276
01:10:03,700 --> 01:10:06,500
and he was talking about how
fast he is like he shot out of a

1277
01:10:06,508 --> 01:10:10,700
cannon and you like that that
position is going to need to

1278
01:10:10,700 --> 01:10:14,800
have good instincts.
For what they're what type of

1279
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:16,900
run support, they're going to be
bringing and things like that.

1280
01:10:16,900 --> 01:10:19,200
So that's going to be really
important.

1281
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,400
So having a guy like that,
that's that's quick that, you

1282
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,300
know, can get around, tackles
can get underneath blocks,

1283
01:10:26,300 --> 01:10:28,100
things like that.
So that that's going to be

1284
01:10:28,100 --> 01:10:30,700
important for that outside
linebacker position, that will

1285
01:10:30,700 --> 01:10:33,700
backers.
So, we'll see if Keller can push

1286
01:10:33,700 --> 01:10:36,000
for the starting role.
Obviously, the story with

1287
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,500
Tisdale has that ability, is
there in consistency is the

1288
01:10:39,500 --> 01:10:43,700
issue, you know, Pride talked
about, you know, Actually that

1289
01:10:43,700 --> 01:10:49,400
being leaked to some, you know,
fatigue breaking down, you know,

1290
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:51,900
the mental focus and things like
that.

1291
01:10:51,900 --> 01:10:56,500
We'll see if a camp under pry
rectifies any of that.

1292
01:10:58,100 --> 01:11:01,400
You know, I talked about earlier
Camp, should be the hardest part

1293
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:05,900
of the season.
And and hopefully hopefully some

1294
01:11:05,900 --> 01:11:09,500
of that stuff carries over into
the season so we'll see.

1295
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:13,900
But yeah, I like I like what
Keller's doing and we'll see if

1296
01:11:13,900 --> 01:11:16,700
he can push push his tail and
obviously if he does that's

1297
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:20,800
that's better for us because
that means we're improved from

1298
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:22,500
last year, if nothing else,
right?

1299
01:11:22,900 --> 01:11:25,900
Absolutely.
In the to details, you're

1300
01:11:25,900 --> 01:11:29,100
talking about there, there's
opportunities there potentially,

1301
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:33,300
to put them both on the field at
the same time, mix and match.

1302
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:37,100
Match with, you know, with Dax
with Keyshawn.

1303
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,500
Maybe even occasionally.
Hey we're going to slip one of

1304
01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:44,700
them over to Sam.
Just to the depth is going to

1305
01:11:44,700 --> 01:11:47,300
help.
Anytime you have multiple

1306
01:11:47,300 --> 01:11:52,000
players at any position that can
play will help you in the long

1307
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,900
run.
Now we'll flip one more piece

1308
01:11:55,900 --> 01:11:57,900
here before we close everything
out tonight.

1309
01:11:57,900 --> 01:12:03,500
They interview tomorrow Connor
short interview You know, Jamari

1310
01:12:03,700 --> 01:12:06,800
himself well but before he got
up there, Brent Pride praised

1311
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:11,400
him about he saying, he probably
is the best all-around player on

1312
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,500
the team.
From a leadership, from a play

1313
01:12:13,500 --> 01:12:17,200
perspective, kind of checks all
the boxes and you love to hear

1314
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:21,800
that from a guy that he asked to
move from the whip from the Sam,

1315
01:12:22,100 --> 01:12:25,900
to go back to free safety.
And when you get that sort of,

1316
01:12:25,900 --> 01:12:31,000
praise it tells you a lot about,
you know, Shamari as a person.

1317
01:12:31,300 --> 01:12:33,200
But then also tomorrow is a
football player that he's

1318
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,800
adapted that well to get that
sort of Praise from rent fry.

1319
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,200
Yeah, it talks about his
leadership and team first

1320
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:43,700
mentality as well, right?
So, I think that's big and, you

1321
01:12:43,700 --> 01:12:49,300
know, I think, you know, Connor
physical traits are great, you

1322
01:12:49,300 --> 01:12:52,600
know, we've talked about in the
past some of his inconsistencies

1323
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:57,900
in coverage and sometimes it's
inconsistency in Making the the

1324
01:12:57,900 --> 01:13:01,100
sure tackle, right?
Yeah, but when he's coming

1325
01:13:01,100 --> 01:13:05,100
downhill, when he's sure of it.
He's going to lay the lumber

1326
01:13:05,100 --> 01:13:06,300
man.
Yes, he will.

1327
01:13:06,300 --> 01:13:09,100
He's a big hitter.
He's got good athleticism.

1328
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:14,600
So and I think he's going to be
a good leader in the in that

1329
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:18,200
back half of the defense.
And I think that's another

1330
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,600
reason that that changes made,
right?

1331
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:25,800
Because now you've got garbage
kind of the de facto leader of

1332
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:32,200
that defensive line you got, you
got decks their de facto leader

1333
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:35,000
of the linebacker Corps.
Now you've got Connor in the

1334
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:39,700
secondary as that kind of Elder
Statesman in the room.

1335
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:43,100
So you got you got good
leadership across each level the

1336
01:13:43,100 --> 01:13:46,000
defense and I think that's
important to all right?

1337
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:49,300
Right.
Well Braun is anything broken in

1338
01:13:49,300 --> 01:13:55,300
the last hour here since we've
Been talking to Brett from six,

1339
01:13:55,300 --> 01:13:59,900

Now I think we're good to go man

1340
01:13:59,900 --> 01:14:04,700
again, shout out to Brett
ciancia pick six previews for

1341
01:14:04,700 --> 01:14:09,100
joining us tonight.
Great information is always, and

1342
01:14:09,100 --> 01:14:14,800
we really appreciate the
expertise and the Deep level

1343
01:14:14,900 --> 01:14:18,400
data analytics.
Being a data guy here that that

1344
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,200
he brings to the table to the
sport.

1345
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:24,200
So again, go Out, grabbed his
magazine.

1346
01:14:24,300 --> 01:14:27,500
We got the digital copy, he's
got the hard copy this year, so

1347
01:14:27,500 --> 01:14:32,400
if you prefer that the, the feel
and touch of paper, turning the

1348
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,500
pages, grab that too, man, get
it.

1349
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:37,200
Like, seriously, this is the
second year.

1350
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:38,500
We gotta, we had him on last
year.

1351
01:14:38,500 --> 01:14:42,100
We picked it up so much info, so
much detail.

1352
01:14:42,100 --> 01:14:46,600
Sort of drawing you out there.
And you know, when you see the

1353
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,700
data, you kind of say okay if we
improve here and here we can be

1354
01:14:49,700 --> 01:14:52,400
a much better football team and
you start looking at the

1355
01:14:52,500 --> 01:14:54,900
opponents.
It really gets you down a rabbit

1356
01:14:54,900 --> 01:14:56,300
hole.
Yeah.

1357
01:14:56,300 --> 01:14:58,800
All right, brother.
And the visuals that had that he

1358
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:05,400
has the data area is really what
separates his side from the the

1359
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:09,300
predictions themselves is really
what separates his Magazine from

1360
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:12,100
from the others out there.
Absolutely.

1361
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,000
All right.
Well Brian let's promo one more

1362
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:20,000

01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,700
And I sigh, I'm sure we could
probably go along with Mike,

1370
01:15:48,700 --> 01:15:52,500
because Mike has so many titles.
Also, new dad, congrats Michael.

1371
01:15:52,500 --> 01:15:56,800
No, no.

Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna pull

Or you want me to get in a

1378
01:16:18,300 --> 01:16:25,300
clinch, easy-peasy.
You know, one of our first I see

1379
01:16:25,500 --> 01:16:26,300
it.
When I got one.

1380
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:32,300
I'm using I was waiting on you.
Hey, it's been a long week.

1381
01:16:32,300 --> 01:16:34,100
That's why I'm not working
tomorrow.

1382
01:16:34,900 --> 01:16:38,500
I shall work down today, man,
but y'all got to come to this.

1383
01:16:38,500 --> 01:16:43,400
We are going to ask these guys,
some great questions and these

1384
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:48,300
guys, I mean, there's a hokey.
There's, there's so much hokey

1385
01:16:48,300 --> 01:16:50,900
info, and so much opinion, and
all of them.

1386
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:54,400
They're great, dudes.
I can't wait for the Round

1387
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:55,800
Table.
The back and forth, man.

1388
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,700
And we're yeah, the
perspectives.

1389
01:16:58,700 --> 01:17:01,900
I've obviously, all these guys
are in the, the Hokie podcast

1390
01:17:01,900 --> 01:17:04,100
game and once one way shape or
form.

1391
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,600
Yep.
But the different experiences

1392
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,800
that they bring to the table,
the different perspectives that

1393
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:14,900
they bring to the table, I say
it all the time Hokie Nation,

1394
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:21,500
we've got one of the best
content creation podcast folks

1395
01:17:21,500 --> 01:17:26,400
out there.
And it's really The awesome that

1396
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:29,700
everyone agreed to jump on with
us because this is something

1397
01:17:29,700 --> 01:17:31,400
that's been rolling around in my
head.

1398
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,700
Yeah.
Since since, the early spring, I

1399
01:17:34,708 --> 01:17:37,300
was like, hey, you know, I
really want to do a round table.

1400
01:17:37,300 --> 01:17:40,400
I want to get everybody or as
many as we can, at least one

1401
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:44,800
person from, you know, a lot of
the major podcasts out their own

1402
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:49,000
are talking preview, you know,
talking about what they expect

1403
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,800
from the season.
We obviously got a new coach,

1404
01:17:52,300 --> 01:17:54,600
there's just so much to kind of
roll over in.

1405
01:17:54,700 --> 01:17:57,600
And things that we can really
bounce off each other.

1406
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:59,800
I want to I want to push back on
each other a little bit.

1407
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,600
I know that you know, not
everybody is of the same mind.

1408
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:06,500
I appreciate that.
I really like when we can get

1409
01:18:06,500 --> 01:18:09,600
together and you know, we talked
about it, iron sharpens iron, I

1410
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,500
think this is something where
everybody can learn a little

1411
01:18:12,500 --> 01:18:16,600
something and I think we can
provide some, some good good

1412
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,000
content for everybody out there.
Yeah.

1413
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:23,200
And usually in, in the boundary
Corner podcast, is usually me,

1414
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:27,300
I'm talking content to Brian
Brian's challenging me in this

1415
01:18:27,300 --> 01:18:31,400
case, when he came to me, I
challenged you I challenge you

1416
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:35,200
on a couple things I pushed back
and then and then finally about

1417
01:18:35,300 --> 01:18:39,300
July, we hit that sweet spot.
That that that's how we create

1418
01:18:39,300 --> 01:18:42,800
our content, we talked, and then
we mold and then we hit The

1419
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:47,000
Sweet Spot.
And, you know, I look so forward

1420
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:50,400
to it, and meeting with those
guys right here.

1421
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:55,000
So, please join us Tuesday
night. 9:30.

1422
01:18:56,100 --> 01:19:00,800
Let's try not to go three hours.
We have to work the next day so

1423
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,100
but Brian with that, wraps up

1441
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:09,700
Saturday with Aaron Hunter.
I think that's the wrong date.

01:20:09,700 --> 01:20:13,200
Jason You look that up, real
quick.

1443
01:20:13,300 --> 01:20:16,300
I thought outer space was found
and he was on Floyd Saturday.

1444
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:21,300
And Jason, if you're listening
might need to update because I

1445
01:20:21,308 --> 01:20:23,100
don't think you can be in two
places at once.

1446
01:20:23,100 --> 01:20:31,300
On Saturday night you can if you
want to Jason's Talent.

1447
01:20:31,300 --> 01:20:33,300
Take some skill, it takes some
skill.

1448
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,400
Jason's real talented, with Dow,
hold on.

1449
01:20:40,300 --> 01:20:42,700
Okay, there it is.

1450
01:20:42,700 --> 01:20:47,200

Saturday night on Sunday.
