PRSN 101: Fall Camp Seminar with Jon McLaughlin

1
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:51,100
Welcome back to the boundary
Corner podcast.

2
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:55,900
With Brian seagull.
I am Curtis Wilson, Brian.

3
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,600
How are you today, man?
I'm good, buddy, I'm good.

4
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,400
How are you?
I'm exhausted, buddy.

5
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,600
What you been up to, dude, day
at work and then a 5:30 baseball

6
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,900
game with my oldest son.
Got lucky, though, one of those

7
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:17,300
baseball games where like the
storms were coming in, but they

8
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:20,600
missed us.
So we got the wind, we got some

9
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,000
cool weather.
Um, good game fast game.

10
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,900
We had two teams with six and
seven year old boys who are

11
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:32,200
hidden the ball.
So do we each man, if the kids

12
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,400
are hitting the ball, you're
Ballin, it's like six Innings

13
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,800
and under an hour, and good fun
game.

14
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,800
And literally we beat the
monsoon that hit here in the

15
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,700
West End, like, literally, I was
like five steps for my car in

16
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:52,200
the bottom dropped out even
more, but he's not to be Lucky

17
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,400
on this.
And actually I was driving back

18
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:00,100
from work and hit up speaking of
some prescription for my wife

19
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:04,400
and the wind starts rolling in.
I just see the, the, the clouds

20
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,199
coming our way and like,
blowing, so hard that when the

21
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,600
drive-thru at the, the
pharmacist they couldn't even

22
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,700
hear what I was saying hardly.
And then five minutes later,

23
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:20,000
like, everything just started to
break up and we got a little bit

24
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,200
of rain, a little bit of window.
That but it looked like it was

25
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,200
going to be you know torrential
downpour and then it turned out

26
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,400
to be pretty much just a little
bit of a shower there and it

27
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,900
moved on out like that.
Well then you just got that

28
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:36,500
house vacation down at the lake
man.

29
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:43,100
Vacation was great, great.
We got to actually first time in

30
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:46,100
about a year and a half, I've
got to spend extended time with

31
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:48,800
my brother and his fiance so
that was kind of cool.

32
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,800
They're getting married next
year.

33
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,500
So it's going to be pretty big.
Big time.

34
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,500
I got to spend a week with them,
got to spend a week with my dad,

35
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:01,100
so it was it was a good time and
you know, hit up the pool, hit

36
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:05,200
up the lake.
It's did some hiking and things

37
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,900
like that.
So it was a good time, man.

38
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Awesome.
And for those of you thought,

39
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,000
Bryan's just mentioned, like he
hadn't seen one of his brothers

40
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,700
in a long time.
Brian.

41
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,400
This is your brother that if
some of these folks drove up to

42
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,600
New York and looked at some
Broadway, Off-Broadway shows,

43
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:21,700
they might see his name in the
light.

44
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:24,300
Slightly.
Yeah, so my my my brother was

45
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,700
recently in Fiddler on the Roof
Off Broadway.

46
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,100
So, you know, pretty pretty big
deal.

47
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:31,800
They got, you know, cast album
and all that thing.

48
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,800
So, you know, he's really doing
some pretty big things up there,

49
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:40,700
so very proud of him and I got
to see the show last April.

50
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,000
So is awesome experience.
And then obviously right now,

51
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,700
everything's kind of shut down
through the rest of the year.

52
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:50,100
So, you know, they're they're
doing their thing, but

53
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:52,400
unfortunately they've got a lot
more time on their And they like

54
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,800
to have so and not his fiancee
is also in Music Theater as

55
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,100
well.
So they're kind of both in the

56
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:02,000
same boat there.
That sucks, man.

57
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,100
I mean, especially I know.
He, I remember the Fiddler and

58
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:06,800
you told me, you got that, and
you were going up there to see

59
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,600
him and it's awesome that he's
continuing to chase that dream.

60
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,300
But hey, at least, you got to
see him, at least that are doing

61
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:19,100
good and glad you had a good
vacation, man.

62
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:20,600
You deserve that, you deserved
it.

63
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,899
Appreciate it man, appreciate
it.

64
00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:24,700
Yeah, it was long time coming,
you know, we make this trip

65
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:27,300
pretty much every year, so we
always have it on the calendar,

66
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:31,000
something to look forward to.
So, you know, we had Bit of a

67
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,100
Excursion Around July Fourth,
but this was the big one.

68
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:38,100
This was the one for the week
and it's just nice to get away

69
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:40,800
for a little bit relaxed.
We didn't really go, a whole lot

70
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,200
of places while we were there.
We just kind of stuck around the

71
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,400
lake and the surrounding
surrounding area.

72
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,600
So it was a nice time.
And sometimes, that's all you

73
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:54,400
really need is just to get away.
All right.

74
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,900
Well, folks today is If you guys
haven't seen the Tweet, we have

75
00:04:57,900 --> 00:05:02,100
a very special guest coming up
in a few minutes, but we've got

76
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:05,000
some headlines and some used to
get to man's a Brian.

77
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,600
I'm going to take us right to
it.

78
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,500
We got some commitments.
Let's start with the

79
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:10,800
government's.
Why not?

80
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:15,900
Yeah, not one, not two.
But three commitments in the

81
00:05:15,907 --> 00:05:18,400
last few days here.
Let's go back.

82
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:26,000
EC a 2 to the 3 star 2005
linebacker out of cocks down in

83
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,600
the 757.
Brian?

84
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,000
No.
You looked at this tape.

85
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,600
How do you feel about this guy?
Is he going to be able to play

86
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,500
Mike or back or you seeing
something different with him?

87
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,600
I think he's probably going to
project more backer but I think

88
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,100
you could potentially grow into
a Mike Will you know time will

89
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:48,100
tell here.
You know, it's showing that

90
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,200
Virginia Tech is still.
Even an eye on the 757.

91
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,500
Contrary to popular belief, I
think keeping an eye down there

92
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:59,100
and inside water.
So, you know, Frank Cox high

93
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:02,400
school.
He's a player though.

94
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:05,900
I like his tape, I think he's
right now, a guy that is

95
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:09,200
probably rated a little bit
lower than where, I think his

96
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,700
town is, I'm not saying he's
like a, you know, borderline

97
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:16,300
four-star guy, but I think he's
better than the 83-84 range

98
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,100
where his his projections are
right now.

99
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:24,100
So I put him a 85-86 kind of
that, you know, mid to

100
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:27,400
potentially High three-star
range or at least On The Fringe

101
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,000
of it and I think he's going to
do good things I think he's a

102
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,200
guy that's probably going to
need a little seasoning but I

103
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,100
think with a couple of years
under the system he's going to

104
00:06:37,108 --> 00:06:41,500
do some good things for her.
So I like the the grab there and

105
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:45,500
let's see who else we got.
We got somebody else here.

106
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,000
Definitely got a couple other
guys but straker Right.

107
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:56,100
Take care of ya, the three-star
six-foot-four 210-pound wide out

108
00:06:56,100 --> 00:07:01,300
at a Cleveland Tennessee, this
kid last season, 1200 total

109
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:09,500
yards, 18 touchdowns, you know,
we were amongst the ten, his top

110
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:12,500
ten back in April, along with
somebody like places like Auburn

111
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:16,700
am in Nebraska, but he picked
the Hokies.

112
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,900
Now not without controversy.
Because back in May there was a

113
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:25,800
report he had committed to the
University of Tennessee and then

114
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,100
some things happen and that just
like like a very ugly situation.

115
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:31,600
But you know what, he's with the
Hokies now.

116
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:37,500
Brian, when you study this
6-foot for 210 pound, wideout

117
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:40,100
tape, tell me what he's going to
do for us.

118
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:44,000
He's a guy that you know but
since he's going to grow into

119
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,700
that same role that Hazleton
had, I think he's a he's a big

120
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:49,700
body guy.
He's a guy that catches the ball

121
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:53,200
well with his hands and I mean
just look at the the ratings

122
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,400
there and we were talking about
a fringe four-star caliber

123
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,100
Talent.
He's ranked 88 on 24/7 and right

124
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:01,600
at it at 88 in this composite
there.

125
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,700
So you know, high-caliber three
star talent and yeah, I really

126
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:10,500
like the tape.
I think again, he's a guy that

127
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:13,700
might need a little Bit of
seasoning but just size alone.

128
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:18,200
Kind of, like I said, projecting
into that Hazleton role or at

129
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,000
least it may be in the shorter
term.

130
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,900
Doing some of the things that
Phil Patterson has done for the

131
00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:24,900
last couple years before you
transfer it out.

132
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:29,500
So really like this pick up.
Probably the, you know, the best

133
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:33,400
caliber wide receiver, we picked
up, I think in this class at

134
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,299
this point Definitely for sure.
Definitely the higher caliber

135
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:38,900
here, you're saying he's right
at 88.

136
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:41,600
Which means, I mean, we're
probably not looking at a high

137
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,799
school football season, but is
it one of those things where

138
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,700
they really value 8 him and he
gets to that 89, he gets the

139
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:52,300
fourth star and become score of
the headline of the of the wide

140
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:55,400
receiver class.
We have because, you know, I

141
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,900
think with that body immediately
you talk about seasoning, but

142
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:02,900
you see a body that size if he's
already, got the jump ball in

143
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:06,300
his back pocket.
Real-time a, you're going to be

144
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:08,700
inside the 15.
Geralt are going to be

145
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:11,900
difficult, but here's your
here's what you're going to do.

146
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:15,600
So yeah I'll be I think the
combination of him and Jalen

147
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,000
Jones or yep.
That's two really good guys that

148
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,700
I think even based on their
ranking here might be slightly

149
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:24,900
underrated Jalen.
Being I think I'm like the 8687

150
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:28,300
range and then trade career
being right at the 88th I think

151
00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:30,100
both of them are probably
Fringe.

152
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:34,100
Four-star talents you know I
think both of them for one

153
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:36,700
reason or another A little bit
short Change on their ranking

154
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:38,800
and I think they're probably
going to overplay that

155
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:42,700
especially in their full career
and I think Trey has a potential

156
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:45,300
to overplay it even early on
just because of the size that he

157
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:50,300
brings to the table.
Yeah, surgery of that, the bond

158
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:54,400
the hook we're not done, Malachi
Thomas.

159
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,600
Now, Malachi currently not ready
to buy 24/7.

160
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,800
He is a three-star by Rivals,
the six foot 180 pounds running

161
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,600
back out of Hart, County down in
Georgia Man 3.

162
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,800
A offensive player of the year
as a junior Palmer. 3,000 whole

163
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:17,600
purpose to yard which is just
asinine we how it has only Only,

164
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,200
if you P5 offers us do, you can
Kansas State, but he also had

165
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,900
your big group of five yet, UCF,
Memphis and Sensi.

166
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,800
I know, you checked out his
tape, just a little earlier

167
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,200
today.
What do you think, man?

168
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,200
This is tape that jumps off at
you and it's insane that

169
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,000
somehow, this guy did not get on
the radar of the guys that are

170
00:10:40,008 --> 00:10:43,600
thrown out rankings.
Because, I mean, I would throw,

171
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,700
I'd be comfortable right here
right now.

172
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:48,200
Just looking to take throwing
87, 88 on this guy.

173
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:53,100
Who quality Talent, man, quality
Talent versatile.

174
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:55,800
Which I mean, I know we talked
about a lot of Versatility both

175
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,600
in the skill positions at along
the line there, but I think

176
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,300
that's another thing.
He brings the table, he's not

177
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:05,500
your your black, sure, your
chance black.

178
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:08,400
That's mostly a receiving
threat, but he's still a between

179
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,700
the tackles guy, you still a guy
that's going to give you every

180
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:16,100
down potential but on tape
running.

181
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:20,100
You know, from the from the back
field running up the scene

182
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:24,300
catches a scene for a touchdown,
running the angle route running

183
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:27,200
a wheel he's not just a guy
that's catching screams and

184
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,600
dumps in the flat he's somebody
that's still going to be a route

185
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,100
threat out of the backfield but
he's going to do all those

186
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:38,800
things between the tackles.
If there's one criticism he

187
00:11:38,808 --> 00:11:43,700
probably runs a little little
too straight up but that's not

188
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:46,500
something that I think is a
deal-breaker especially if

189
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:51,900
you're With your vision and he
is and he's another guy, he's

190
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:54,300
got specialty, does punt returns
kick returns.

191
00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:57,700
So he's got all those skills,
he's bringing to the table that

192
00:11:57,700 --> 00:12:01,300
he's done at a high school level
and done it very successfully.

193
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:05,800
So I really like the kid.
I said, I'm not sure what the

194
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,300
August rankings are going to
hold in terms of him getting a

195
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:14,100
ranking on 24/7 or any of the
other ranking agencies there.

196
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:17,800
But you know, like I said, I
would put probably eight. 87 on

197
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,300
him, just out the gate and and
see where he goes from there.

198
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,200
It looks like he is going to get
a senior season, unlike some of

199
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,800
the players in North Carolina
and Virginia, unless something

200
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,600
changes.
So might get some more tape on

201
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,300
him as well.
So that would be nice to get as

202
00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:34,200
well.
Absolutely.

203
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,500
I got a chance to watch some of
the total film from last year

204
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:38,900
and I'm going to tell you the
one thing that steps out stands

205
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:42,000
out for me not as knowledgeable
as you about seeing his vision

206
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000
and seeing the routes, he runs
his stride.

207
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,700
It is very effortless.
Doesn't there times where he's

208
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:51,500
running away from guys?
And it like, if you watch that

209
00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:54,600
tape, it's like is he even
running that fast?

210
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,500
And if you just see him like
he's up, he's still.

211
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:03,000
So it tells me what that's tried
that.

212
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:10,500
There could be like the 6th Gear
where potentially it comes out

213
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:14,000
and where he can just turn it on
even further and just blow by

214
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
people so it's unbelievable.
Yeah.

215
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,400
I mean he's got that looks like
that extra gear.

216
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,400
I mean, I think he was on 24/7.
They had him as a hand clock

217
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,000
time at like a 45 one.
So, I mean, even if he's, you

218
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,100
know, half a tenth off, that's
still a pretty damn good time

219
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,200
for a running back.
And like you said, he looks like

220
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:41,800
he natural Strider, and he's got
an extra gear, you know,

221
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:45,200
sometimes some people are fast
but then they aren't fast and

222
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,800
pads.
He's fast and path.

223
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,600
So I think that's a big thing to
look at as well.

224
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:56,000
Absolutely, well Braun, maybe I
hope the fans at home listening.

225
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,900
They understand what type of
hokey podcast is, is we're not.

226
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:02,700
All right, I'll Rob, we're not,
you know, positive everything,

227
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,000
we're realists.
And the real is hit us over the

228
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:13,500
weekend before star safety.
I did now the melon commits to

229
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:18,200
Florida.
Oh, Virginia Tech, let's say it

230
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:24,200
mean DM C DM C.
We had the nickname all there

231
00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:30,000
but that I was gonna be dropping
Run DMC and DeLorean means for

232
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,100
like a next four years and now I
don't get too and I'm so sad

233
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:36,700
about it.
I've been Bana bana bana,

234
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:41,600
Florida, and the Florida.
Why you got to have all that

235
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,700
cool shit money?
Why it's called money?

236
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:53,100
Now, I looked at him and saw him
as being a free safety.

237
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,600
Florida.
Has a lot of safeties right now.

238
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,000
So, I mean, I don't know if it's
one of those things, a lot of

239
00:14:59,008 --> 00:15:01,700
folks are saying they're selling
the strong, safety to him which

240
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:04,800
if that's the case, you kind of
look at the other guys on Here

241
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,700
who they committed last year and
this year they're not strong

242
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:09,800
safeties.
And if that's what they sold

243
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,200
him, like we're going to we want
you to be down in the Box make

244
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,700
sense where with us we probably
could sell both but I really see

245
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:22,600
that being Jalen strowman and
then I look at DMC and I think

246
00:15:22,900 --> 00:15:25,100
you're 62 and a half.
You're right at 200.

247
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:27,300
You're already you're already
built like a free safety.

248
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:29,800
If you've got the range, it's
us.

249
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,800
We lost him.
But Ronald say something and

250
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:34,500
this is going to be the
positivity.

251
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,900
I'd coming out.
All right, we got three commits

252
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:41,700
and we mentioned two tray and
Malachi who would beat out for

253
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:44,500
them?
For I said we'd beat out NC

254
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:50,800
State in West Virginia and I
think what I hope the realest of

255
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,600
the fanbase like me and you
understand is we can win a lot

256
00:15:54,600 --> 00:16:01,100
of fights against NC State, West
Virginia, Kansas State Duke, the

257
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:03,800
trade, Curry one, that seemed a
little more pushy.

258
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,500
There's some good players there
but we're certainly Things

259
00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:08,500
acting up but we can fight with
those guys.

260
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,300
When you start bringing battles
with your Alabama's, your

261
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:19,000
Florida's your George's.
Clemson's that were

262
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,200
Cruiserweight their heavyweight.
Can we also talked about how

263
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,600
Florida news how to negatively
recruit us?

264
00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:31,600
How many hope he's on staff
because of Dorian Gray at all.

265
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,400
They know.
They know I did - recruit us and

266
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,700
they also know that they've got
A lot of Leverage that we don't

267
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:43,400
have and they can play that
leverage in ways that we can't,

268
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,700
that's not to say that we
shouldn't go out there and win

269
00:16:46,700 --> 00:16:48,600
some of these battles against
these Blue Bloods.

270
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,900
We definitely need to start
doing that at the same time,

271
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:54,300
though.
We got to be real with the

272
00:16:54,308 --> 00:16:58,300
situation and understand that
there's things Florida offers

273
00:16:58,300 --> 00:17:01,800
that we can't.
And there's opportunities that

274
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:07,300
Florida offers that right now.
We're not quite there, and I

275
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:11,099
think we're doing a good job.
Job in pickups like Malachi

276
00:17:11,099 --> 00:17:15,700
Thomas and trickery and then see
a Tuesday that speaks to we're

277
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:21,099
finding guys that are kind of
Fringe in that that that

278
00:17:21,099 --> 00:17:25,000
four-star range in terms of
their talent and probably

279
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,900
potentially could overplay what
they're either.

280
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:31,100
What their ranking is now or
what we even anticipate for them

281
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,100
based on our reviews.
So, you know, I think we're

282
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:38,800
doing some good things in that
thing, but just I really like

283
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,800
the DMC a lot.
And so this one, this one stings

284
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,000
a little bit more, not again,
nicknamed aside I liked, I liked

285
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,300
everything nickname.
I like the potential there, but

286
00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:49,800
you know, the kid was pretty
good too.

287
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,300
And just the way he interacted
with the fan base and

288
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:56,800
everything, he he was, he wasn't
someone that was leading you on.

289
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,600
But he was also engaging, which
is hard to find with a guy that

290
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,300
hadn't committed yet.
So I really appreciated that and

291
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:06,900
you know, it's a tough loss for
us.

292
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,600
Absolutely.
He's a good player and you could

293
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,000
just tell his own overall really
good kid.

294
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:16,200
So it does suck, we lose him.
Hopefully they keep recruiting

295
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,700
him and Florida gets another
safety.

296
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:20,300
Commit.
And he said yeah, that's my only

297
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:22,600
hope.
There's still a possibility at

298
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,800
this not signing day yet.
All right man.

299
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,500
Just quick hitter Man On Third
us out there.

300
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,700
Oh dat canceled the season UI.
I think I'm gonna make it.

301
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:36,600
I think I'm gonna make it.
It's tough to see.

302
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,200
Does mean that I don't get to
see, hopefully the Tigers beat

303
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,600
up on making this year.
I was hoping that this was going

304
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,900
to be one of those years where
that, where they finally take a

305
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:51,300
step back in the right
direction.

306
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:54,500
Since they've kind of been down
probably last four or five

307
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:57,400
years, they've struggled
recruiting Richmond and they've

308
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,200
struggled a little bit,
recruiting some of the Tidewater

309
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,400
talent in the last few years.
So it's kind of been a little

310
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,800
bit down for them, they got
they've gotten back in Tidewater

311
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,900
a little bit.
They still haven't cracked the

312
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:16,000
804 bubble that pager aruz has
put up around greater Even here.

313
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,200
So, you know, we'll see if they
have long-term success, but

314
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,300
unfortunately, not going to get
to see what they do this fall.

315
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,900
Yeah, my hope is for D3.
They just say a spring season

316
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,200
and it may be that.
That's where they found a niche.

317
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,500
They go to the spring season and
it's hey, this is good.

318
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:36,800
It's the wetters the weather's,
a little better.

319
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,500
Maybe we can get some TV deals
out of this, where we're playing

320
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:45,500
on whatever you can think of.
But I know.

321
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,200
That hitch kick in, you know,
let's let's cross our fingers

322
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,500
that.
Maybe mid-February they do a 10

323
00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:53,900
game season and me, and you can
drive up to Ash is a game and

324
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:56,100
Ashlyn, or is it down in the
form of this year?

325
00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:58,200
I think it's informed, real this
year.

326
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Maybe we can guide them.
All right.

327
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,600
Braun few weeks ago, me and you
discuss that two positions had

328
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,800
been posted.
Yep, we talked about how nice it

329
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,600
would be to see some former
players and buddy did the staff.

330
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,800
The liver Own that Corey feel
like ones, ma'am Jerome's of at

331
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,100
Winslow back, own staff.
What you think?

332
00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:29,400
Honestly, love both hires and
both positions at the ended up

333
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,000
getting there, especially with
Corey taking over the assistant

334
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,700
to the on-campus role.
I think that's going to be great

335
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:40,800
for him.
That that's really.

336
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:44,300
We had we had talked about it
like I can't think of a better

337
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:49,000
person to Sell the program to
with guys, coming to Junior

338
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,400
days, guys, coming to gain weeks
guys, coming, two weeks in the,

339
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,600
in the offseason.
All right?

340
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,300
So you got a guy who pretty much
his entire family played here,

341
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:06,100
pretty much.
He had been on campus since 2002

342
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:12,400
until he and his brother Greg,
say, whatever like years he took

343
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,700
a brief break while he went and
ran track.

344
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:17,000
And then he came to her.
Ginny sack and played wide

345
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,600
receiver for us and then played
the NFL for a little bit and now

346
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,600
he's back here with us after a
brief stint with looks like,

347
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,900
well, it was a college up in
information up there in

348
00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:32,400
Michigan, the essential Mission.
Yeah, he was so he was like,

349
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,600
okay, yes, let me that's, you
know, again, I can't think of a

350
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,000
better better family
representative to be to be that

351
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,300
point of contact on campus on
those days for those, those

352
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:50,500
recruits Corey.
And as far as wins, I mean, I

353
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:52,500
really liked him.
We always talked about how much

354
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:54,200
we liked him when he was a
player here.

355
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,100
And you know it looks like he's
got some experience that he's

356
00:21:57,100 --> 00:21:59,200
bringing to the table as well
and it's nice for him to get

357
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,300
some power, five experience at
his alma mater, doing doing this

358
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:05,600
type of role so I'm looking
forward to see what he can do

359
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,800
there.
He's already been active on

360
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:12,500
Twitter, engaging with fans and
engaging with people that are

361
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:15,200
talking smack from other teams
which I like to see.

362
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,700
I like to see so it should be
fun.

363
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:21,300
Having him on his Well, so I'm
really looking forward to seeing

364
00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:24,600
what both of these guys are able
to do absolutely Cory.

365
00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:27,300
You mentioned, the ga stop at
the central Michigan.

366
00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:30,000
He also had done a brief
internship down in Maryland with

367
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,000
the athletic program and he also
had done like, at the nflpa

368
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,800
Collegiate Bowl.
One of the, like, Senior Bowl

369
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,500
games, he had done some work
with that back in 2018 as well.

370
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,000
So he's definitely, he's kind of
built up his way, convey, a

371
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,300
Winslow.
Right out of college 2014.

372
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:54,300
He coached dbe's up at Stone
Bridge up in Northern Virginia,

373
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,900
then he went out to Hawaii with
his, dad was an assistant coach

374
00:22:57,900 --> 00:23:02,900
on the defensive line as like a
ga, he'd been down at Brevard,

375
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,900
2017, he had done associate head
coach special teams coordinator

376
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,500
safeties.
So in the course of about six

377
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:12,200
years, he's really worked his
way up.

378
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,800
And I think, as much as you talk
about having Quarry in the

379
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,900
perfect role you hear about,
What if they do Winslow has done

380
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,400
and it sounds like they got
another great fit you know

381
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,000
gouveia ones, undersized
linebacker when he was with Tech

382
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:31,200
playing the whip, he was a good
player, he's very smart player,

383
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:34,300
he has coached defensive back.
He's coached safeties.

384
00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:36,000
He's Coastline.
He's on special teams

385
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,700
coordinating.
That's the kind of guy you want

386
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:42,900
breaking down video because, you
know, hey, we need to go over

387
00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:44,100
this guy.
Yeah.

388
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,800
And you in probably, for Coach
Fuente.

389
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,500
It's like I don't worry.
He's Done so much on the

390
00:23:49,508 --> 00:23:52,800
defensive side of the ball.
I give them paper on a guy, I

391
00:23:52,808 --> 00:23:57,200
don't care what position is.
He is going to probably get in

392
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,600
vertical down and say he has
potential, like now we need to

393
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,700
lay off this guy.
So love both, love Tailwinds,

394
00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:08,900
other day.
When he put up that little, the

395
00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:11,500
Carolinas and comes after he
just puts up the stat line.

396
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:14,900
It's like, yeah, you have to be
quiet because he just put up

397
00:24:14,900 --> 00:24:16,100
facts.
Yep.

398
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:21,000
But if you make, Came back with
we've been rebuilding the last

399
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,500
four years.
Yeah, you were rebuilding in

400
00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:25,700
2016 when you were ranked in the
top 20.

401
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:28,600
When we played you in blue out
during the hurricane.

402
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:36,200
Oh, fat again from fanbases hate
that back stand in the way of

403
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:40,700
arguments.
So they're stubborn things, man,

404
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:45,300
they're stubborn things.
In fact I Braun let's hit one

405
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:51,900
more topic before we move on.
As of right now, the ACC, the

406
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:57,200
SEC, and the B12 have kind of
pushed off the announcements of,

407
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,000
you know, what they're going to
do with their season.

408
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,100
I mentioned to you a little
earlier.

409
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,600
Fran, how many there are four
teams in the SEC in the ACC that

410
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,300
have robbery games every year,
right?

411
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,600
Yeah.
They want to try to keep them

412
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,700
together.
It makes sense.

413
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,300
Some of those go back, I think,
Georgia Tech, Georgia goes back

414
00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:19,500
to like 1891.
It's a long one.

415
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:25,600
Literally think making Sydney,
is the only other South rivalry

416
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,800
game that has that sort of
long-standing thing.

417
00:25:29,100 --> 00:25:34,500
But Brian, that least 10 teams
in the ACC, CC and the SEC.

418
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,800
How many teams are in the Big
12.

419
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:43,800
Now, How many man 10ml of lining
up here?

420
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,700
No, I mean we are speculating
but to me I think what they're

421
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:55,400
trying to do is they're trying
to look at either 8 or 9 plus 1

422
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:58,200
or they can get at least one out
of conference game.

423
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,900
Will it happen?
Maybe maybe not.

424
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:06,400
If you know hot spots especially
yet the schools have in Texas.

425
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:11,000
You got Miami and Florida State.
Like some places like teens

426
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,100
might not want to go, but it's
one of those things where, you

427
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:18,800
know, there's so many
possibilities and I know a lot

428
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,700
of people will say, well, well,
the ACC has the far north

429
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:26,600
schools, Pittsburgh and Syracuse
and boss College, they do.

430
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,400
But they also are major Hub
cities.

431
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,600
Like, you can get a charter
plane to go from, you know,

432
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:37,600
Manhattan, Kansas State to
Boston without an issue.

433
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,800
Yeah.
You fly to Pittsburgh and go

434
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,700
anywhere in this country,
they're big airports so that

435
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:46,900
really doesn't hurt it that much
because it's easy in and easy

436
00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:48,200
out.
Literally, the place you get on

437
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,000
a plane in three hours, laying
in pit, get on the bus, go in

438
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,300
warm up, three hours later.
Start a football game bus back

439
00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:58,300
to the stadium.
Fly back to campus all in one

440
00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:00,900
day.
And I think that's what a lot of

441
00:27:00,900 --> 00:27:03,400
people are really.
That's what you got to keep your

442
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,700
eye on.
Can we, if we kicked off at

443
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:11,600
3:30, if we get to the airport
at 5 a.m. 24 hour flight pouches

444
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,800
80 mm Allen feelings.
These fools are really going to

445
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,800
work together and say, Hey,
listen.

446
00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:19,500
This is where you guys can warm
up.

447
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:25,500
You guys can do everything will
change our routine because we

448
00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:29,000
want college football to happen.
We enemy, it's not really

449
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,100
outside of the, the realm of
imagination here, either because

450
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,900
we're talking about under more
normal circumstances, some of

451
00:27:36,908 --> 00:27:39,000
these teams will be making these
Traveler Arrangements,

452
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,900
regardless not, you know they're
not everybody's playing, you

453
00:27:43,908 --> 00:27:48,200
know a game that is out of
conference that's, you know,

454
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,300
right around the corner.
Some some teams are already

455
00:27:50,300 --> 00:27:52,900
making those longer travels and
as you mentioned logistically,

456
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:56,100
it's not really that big of a
deal in terms of getting from

457
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:59,300
the middle of the country, even
to Boston for like an am

458
00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:01,200
travelling to BC or something
like that.

459
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,600
So I definitely think it's
doable.

460
00:28:04,300 --> 00:28:08,700
The question is Will they end up
setting something up?

461
00:28:10,900 --> 00:28:13,400
Where I think the local
Logistics are going to be the

462
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,300
harder part than the travel
Logistics.

463
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,900
Yeah.
And if they can make the local

464
00:28:17,900 --> 00:28:20,400
Logistics work, I think they'll
probably try to get something

465
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,700
done.
Absolutely boundary Corner

466
00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:27,500
podcast listeners.
Today we have a very special

467
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:31,100
guest with us for years.
Starting offensive lineman John

468
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:34,600
McLaughlin.
John, how are you doing today

469
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,700
man?
With this crazy heat, man.

470
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:40,100
I'm doing great man.
Thank y'all for having me take a

471
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:43,500
plane and I'm trying to stay
inside, you know how hot it is

00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:48,400
outside right now in Richmond.
We got got that pot Richmond

473
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:53,000
weather right now.
Yeah, Man I couldn't imagine

474
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,900
running out right now.
You know, my girlfriend told me

475
00:28:55,908 --> 00:29:05,900
I need to start writing outside.
So no no little baseball for we

476
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:08,900
were like 20 minutes in like
he's soaked and I'm so it's

477
00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:11,800
like, oh yeah.
Right now this time of year is

478
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,400
not fun.
Exactly.

479
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:15,900
Exactly.
We really appreciate you joining

480
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:19,400
us here on Mister Fallon.
It's awesome to have you.

481
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,400
I'm sure.
Brian's all to.

482
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,000
We got kind of a reason we
reached out to you bugger fine.

483
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,300
Go ahead, man.
Because this is this is a cool

484
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:31,200
connection for us.
Yeah.

485
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,100
So you know, full disclosures we
brought you on the podcast, you

486
00:29:35,108 --> 00:29:37,800
know, not just because you're
one of my favorite line when

487
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,400
they played in the last decade
for the Hokies.

488
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,400
Okay.
Okay.

489
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,900
And not Accounts at the, you
know, the four-year starter on

490
00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:46,800
the on the offensive line there.
And the only the first true

491
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,800
freshman, the started left
tackle for Beamer, those are

492
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,600
great, things are true and a
good Reason to have you on.

493
00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:56,900
But the, the biggest fear is the
sum of the Southside connection

494
00:29:56,900 --> 00:29:59,700
Southside, Virginia connection.
You got with some of your family

495
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:02,900
members there and the RV, a
connection that we've got now,

496
00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:04,800
too.
So that was the big reason we

497
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,900
wanted to have you on.
I was I was telling Curtis when

498
00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:08,500
we were kind of spitballing
earlier.

499
00:30:08,900 --> 00:30:13,300
I actually played in high school
against Orion when he was young.

500
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,600
Wow.
Okay.

501
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:16,800
Yeah.
So that's all right.

502
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,700
As well.
So definitely, most definitely I

503
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:25,800
got family all in their area,
man.

504
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,400
So runs a good friend of mine
and get, you know, also

505
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,000
obviously my cousin but he's
definitely helped me with my

506
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,300
decision to come and attack.
So it was a key name right there

507
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:39,400
around the camera, man.
Yeah, for us is Hokies.

508
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,700
It was like, yeah, and I never
knew that and Brian brought it

509
00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:44,900
up and it was like at asked him
the other week.

510
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:47,300
I'm like, the Brian played guard
him like Bron Jennifer have to

511
00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:49,900
deal with Orion.
He's like, not, he was on edge.

512
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,400
And with one of his teammates
hopefully Chris picked up in the

513
00:30:54,400 --> 00:31:02,200
end up going to Clemson.
Gotcha gotcha as a big dude and

514
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,000
bronze sword arms didn't help
out a lot.

515
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,900
But yeah, I really appreciate
you being here but John you know

516
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:14,000
everybody that's been a hockey
fan anytime the last 10 years

517
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,500
remembers you the four-year
starter The Freshman starter but

518
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,000
we know you went out to the
Arizona Cardinals for a while

519
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,300
but Wasn't even up to since
then.

520
00:31:24,100 --> 00:31:27,400
So last year's actually moved to
Richmond.

521
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,600
Virginia definitely has two
connections with going to Tech.

522
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,600
I majored in Property
Management, Effigy attack.

523
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,900
So I was able to, you know, have
some connections here in

524
00:31:35,908 --> 00:31:38,500
Richmond and Rich was definitely
growing city.

525
00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:41,900
I still got some buddies.
I hang out with, you know, I see

526
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,100
Sam Rogers from time to time
Nigel.

527
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,700
So when I first moved here it
was literally like being in

528
00:31:46,700 --> 00:31:49,500
college again.
Y'all hang out and I'm like, I

529
00:31:49,508 --> 00:31:52,200
can't get away from you guys.
But that's what I'm doing.

530
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,600
Now, working at Dodson property
manager right now.

531
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:57,700

Very cool.
Very cool man.

534
00:32:00,700 --> 00:32:03,400
Yeah, yeah.
We, we always talk about all the

535
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,800
kind of the RV, a contact.
So we have from from going and

536
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,200
seeing games and things like
that.

537
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,300
So, it's gonna connect a little
bit more with some other Hokies

538
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:12,600
around this area.
So that's awesome.

539
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,100
Most definitely, most
definitely.

540
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,900
Hey, you got it.
My man, Brian here.

541
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:19,000
He's on, Mechanicsville, I'm out
in the West End, what?

542
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,300

544
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,900
Oh my God.
Yeah, you have some about five

545
00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:31,600
minutes from work and you know,
I'm still young so he still hit

546
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,800
the town a little bit.
So it's not too far from any,

547
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,400
you know, everything and James
River is literally right there.

548
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,400
So it's a good time, man.
I'm enjoying.

549
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,900
I'm doing my time here in
Richmond, for sure.

550
00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:41,700
Yeah, that's my walk into work
actually.

551
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:44,500
Work downtown and for VCU.
So, okay.

552
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:47,300
Okay.

553
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:49,200
there and walk walk into the
city.

554
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,000
So, I'm like passionately
towards you there.

555
00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:54,500
They go, they got you got you.
All right.

556
00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:58,600
So this episode we kind of
wanted to focus in on some of

557
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,900
the things like fall cancers.
We got fall Camp coming up even

558
00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:04,300
though we don't know what's kind
of with that Seasons going to

559
00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:07,700
look like yet, right?
But we know players are back

560
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:11,500
starting to get after it.
So I just wanted to ask you man,

561
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:14,600
what were some of those weeks
leading up to fall camp like for

562
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,700
you where you kind of just
grinding trying to get that

563
00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:20,900
conditioning up or what was it?
Like yeah, we were so I give you

564
00:33:20,908 --> 00:33:23,900
a little Your little history
here and what we used to do in

565
00:33:23,900 --> 00:33:26,900
Blacksburg.
So we were there all summer,

566
00:33:26,900 --> 00:33:30,100
there were no students, it was
football, you literally work

567
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:33,000
out, you have maybe two classes
and then you're done for the

568
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
day.
So it's it was a little

569
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,500
different grind.
You get up, get your workout

570
00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:40,300
done, but we all knew can't was
coming.

571
00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:44,200
So, you know, we couldn't get
used to that lifestyle because

572
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,900
we were just really good to it.
So, as soon as I would say, we,

573
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:51,100
you know, did I run tests and
everything like that?

574
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:53,400
We knew okay Camp is about to
come.

575
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,100
You heard a little chirping lock
Room?

576
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:58,700
Everybody excited.
Ready to put on finally gets put

577
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:02,100
on pads, get the practice.
Um but yeah, I would say it was

578
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:06,300
definitely exciting just to
finally get done with just work

579
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:08,600
it out and finally get to
football.

580
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:13,300
Awesome awesome.
So once Camp got going, what was

581
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:16,300
your favorite thing about it?
Who's your least favorite thing

582
00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:20,400
about it.
So maybe an officer Simon, my

583
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,900
favorite thing.
About Camp.

584
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:29,000
Every year was the food, man.
They, they fed us so much and

585
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,100
the Mills were crazy.
We not think the first day of

586
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:36,000
camp when we reported it was
always like a steak dinner and

587
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,400
you know, just it was just
amazing.

588
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,500
So every day was he was expected
to eat good.

589
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:45,699
The least being I would say
would be the long nights, we

590
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:50,300
would probably have to be up at
5:00 and we was at the facility

591
00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:53,800
to about 10 You know, if you he
was a freshman, you definitely

592
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,800
rather silly to about 10 or you
can go, you know, to the dorms.

593
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,600
But if you lived off campus, I
got.

594
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,400
Did you kind of stay put and
step in locker room?

595
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,500
And you know, you could even
have that much time between

596
00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:09,000
meetings treatment meals, you
know, weights.

597
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:12,800
So that that day is just the
longest day ever.

598
00:35:13,700 --> 00:35:16,000
And you start lose the count of,
you know, what day it is,

599
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,200
because you just go through that
cycle.

600
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,200
You know, waking up eating
meetings practice.

601
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,900
Lift.
It's just at one point.

602
00:35:23,900 --> 00:35:27,500
You just like, what day is it?
We got three present, you gotta

603
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:28,500
lift.
You gotta get in.

604
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:32,100
Yeah man.
It was difficult.

605
00:35:32,100 --> 00:35:35,300
Yeah, it was difficult but I
would say I was.

606
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:39,000
There were probably my least
favorite the long nights that

607
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,400
after practice we would have
some, you know, someone can talk

608
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,900
to us or some type of meeting
and then you have to go to

609
00:35:43,908 --> 00:35:47,700
meetings out there.
So you have to practice, you

610
00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:51,000
know, that happens and then you
got those meetings with someone

611
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:54,200
You know, comes talk to you
very, you know, gives a great

612
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,700
information, whatever they had,
you know, whoever was speaking

613
00:35:56,700 --> 00:35:59,400
that day and then you go get
yelled at in meeting so it's

614
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,300
like oh man you know so it was
an older gentleman.

615
00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:05,700
It's wrong of days but it was
definitely worth it.

616
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:12,900
My yeah, exactly, exactly.
Yeah, if not yourself who was

617
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:16,300
like your teammate that was just
like the most jacked up that,

618
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:19,400
like, if you had to be like,
calm down, you know what's

619
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,000
coming, right?
Well, right off the bat.

620
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,500
That is why it teller is.
The first person that comes to

621
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:29,500
mind dead kid was always just
ready, man.

622
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:32,200
Just everyday.
That's honestly, probably the

623
00:36:32,207 --> 00:36:35,300
one that got us through all,
through Camp, his energy and way

624
00:36:35,300 --> 00:36:40,000
he just up at 5:00 a.m. just,
you know, he'll come your locker

625
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,600
talking, like all white man, you
know, he was definitely it was

626
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,800
definitely one person that was
jacked up and I will also say

627
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,300
the all the dbe's they love to
talk, you know, DB.

628
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,200
He's like the like the run their
mouths so they were probably the

629
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,200
ones jacked up and I'm sitting
here like you know you guys

630
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,600
don't really hitting practice so
you don't understand why you're

631
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:02,800
excited about this part you
know.

632
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,400
But I was no deficit, widened
BB's for sure.

633
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:08,400
Now.
Yeah, we got we got to let them

634
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,400
know John, you know, even when
it's you know, three quarters

635
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,000
for everybody else lime and
always going full speed, they

636
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:20,900
always hit No.1.
All the PBS have come to

637
00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:22,600
Virginia.
I can tell you the guys who were

638
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,000
the, I can definitely just see
them, just chirping and just

639
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,000
say, but I can feel you in there
like 5:00 in the morning, like,

640
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:38,800
I'm trying to get it going.
Oh, God, you're a Muslim to

641
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,900
talk, man, but they're breathing
energy to practice, you know,

642
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:43,700
you like, you like competing
against them.

643
00:37:43,700 --> 00:37:46,000
They, I would say they probably
got the most competitive group

644
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,100
on the field, just because they
can run your mouth.

645
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,700
Yes.
Sometimes you know somebody says

646
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:59,700
something you get you jacked up
and just kind of getting all

647
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:01,300
right.
So next thing I know this is

648
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:03,400
this is kind of close to my
heart and it kind of goes back

649
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,800
to kind of what you were talking
about with all the good food.

650
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:10,900
What's the most weight you lost
in the single practice in a

651
00:38:10,908 --> 00:38:12,900
single practice?
Wow, so it probably was during

652
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:16,800
Camp, I would say.
So I'm not sure if I single

653
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,500
practice but I my freshman year
I did come to Camp overweight.

654
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,300
That's what Jim Brown's is.
My coach.

655
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,600
Okay, leading up to Camp.
He's like, how on Earth did you

656
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,700
come to Camp overweight with all
of this ring?

657
00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:33,900
You guys that I was like coach.
Honestly, I've been eating

658
00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:36,200
anything I want.
Like you said you got that all

659
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,600
time, you don't know what to do,
what I was doing with eating.

660
00:38:41,700 --> 00:38:45,200
We had a thing called fat camp.
We had to go to my, my freshman

661
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,600
year.
I he's put it just, for me, it

662
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,700
was me and the da after every
practice, and I lost I lost

663
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:56,500
about I think I I was came in at
315, terrible weight at the

664
00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:58,300
camp.
I was probably 30 5, so I lost

665
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:00,600
15 pounds.
Okay.

666
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,400
Yeah, I could cut in like three
or four weeks behind.

667
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,400
Holy, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it was.

668
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:08,200
It's a lot, man.
It's a lot.

669
00:39:09,900 --> 00:39:11,900
Let me ask this because you
talked about camp.

670
00:39:11,900 --> 00:39:14,600
And, you know, we talked about
cutting the way and, you know,

671
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000
clearly you have the drills and
then you have, you know, you

672
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,100
start doing some inter-squad and
stuff like that.

673
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:22,500
But was there any point in time
during can't be like, saw the

674
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:25,300
light at the end of the tunnel
where you kind of knew like, was

675
00:39:25,300 --> 00:39:28,000
it, like, just a good
installation was where like, you

676
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,200
know, okay camps about to be
over.

677
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:35,700
We're about to go play a game
like your last season you guys

678
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:40,900
were versus Liberty right here.
Remember like, It's time, yes,

679
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,600
yep.
So what would be my first three

680
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,300
years?
You always knew when media de

681
00:39:47,300 --> 00:39:51,300
Road around and it that fan
appreciation day comes around

682
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,000
you like, okay.
It's, you know, it's the seasons

683
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,500
about to be here.
There are some events that the

684
00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:59,100
whole team had to go to as far
as, you know, signing and

685
00:39:59,100 --> 00:40:02,800
everything like that.
And I know we did an event with

686
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,900
all the sports, all the seniors
on the field, but the football

687
00:40:06,900 --> 00:40:10,100
team was already there.
So, During that time would be

688
00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:12,200
more, you knew that?
You know, they're just teasing

689
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,100
me was about to begin every
year.

690
00:40:14,100 --> 00:40:16,800
That was kind of like you know
at the end of the tunnel saying

691
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,900
okay camps almost over.
We only got maybe four more

692
00:40:18,900 --> 00:40:20,700
practices.
Let's push through it.

693
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:24,000
Me today is done, you know.
So that I would say that was

694
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,800
definitely towards the end with
Flint.

695
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,000
A is a little different.
I would, we do.

696
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:35,300
I know, I think he still does it
the Saturday before your first

697
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:38,800
game.
So that previous week, you do I

698
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,900
think?
Mark game takes you.

699
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,500
He takes you through exactly
everything.

700
00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:46,700
You're going to do the day
before the game and everything

701
00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:49,600
you do on game day.
It and I would say my game is

702
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,600
seared more serious than the
actual game because I'm gonna

703
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,300
RTI first year, you know, we
thinking we, we actually did the

704
00:40:57,308 --> 00:40:59,500
whole thing.
We went to Hotel, Roanoke, and

705
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,500
did everything everything, you
know, had meals, everything.

706
00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:07,500
They were supposed to do the
week before we did that or the

707
00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:09,000
week after, sorry, for that
week.

708
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:11,400
One we did that.
So you knew all right.

709
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,800
The season about to start, you
know it's an n and then we start

710
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,000
doing the game prep literally
that day after my game.

711
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,400
Thanks.
I've also, yeah, we did

712
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,500
something similar.
We always had a, we would go and

713
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:27,900
stay at a hotel, just outside of
town, and then we come back in

714
00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:30,400
and kind of treat it like a game
day, but we still have, you

715
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,000
know, I kind of inter-squad
experiments on that Saturday as

716
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,700
well kind of something just to
kind of say, alright.

717
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:37,300
Can't sober.
Yeah.

718
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:40,700
Inter-squad actually hit hit one
versus one's a little bit and

719
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:44,700
then you don't actually have a
day or two off to kind of settle

720
00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:48,300
into the normal game week there
other than watching some film or

721
00:41:48,308 --> 00:41:50,800
something like.
So yeah, that that school to

722
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:51,700
here.
That's awesome.

723
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,700
So you talked about, you know,
being a part of the Beamer in

724
00:41:56,700 --> 00:42:00,300
the ink and then being with
Coach Fuente and obviously with

725
00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:02,300
the new regime you got a new
coach.

726
00:42:02,300 --> 00:42:05,400
So what type of things did the
coach Vice bring to the table of

727
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:06,200
that?
Kind of helps.

728
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,600
You continue your success.
So so the code advice was a

729
00:42:09,607 --> 00:42:14,000
little different than my
previous coaches with G and

730
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,300
cereals.
I was, I would say, I was a

731
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:17,700
young player, so there was
always someone odor.

732
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,800
But by Ice, literally, let me in
Auggie have the room, we, you

733
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,700
know, took control of meeting.
Sometimes he was there, he was

734
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:29,000
there, you know, he talked to
play book, I want to say, they

735
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,700
probably got there in February
of 2016 by March, we all need to

736
00:42:33,707 --> 00:42:37,500
play book.
I honestly would say Vice was

737
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:42,500
extremely smart, he has like 34
degrees in what?

738
00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:44,900
I don't know, but that, you
know, he has them there on the

739
00:42:44,900 --> 00:42:48,700
wall, but he was really smart
with break.

740
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:51,900
Down film.
It was a different way to how we

741
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:55,300
study.
You know, I think by Stephanie

742
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:57,400
brought that to the table, he
kind of taught us how to lead.

743
00:42:57,700 --> 00:43:01,200
Just because he let us do it.
Like I said it was, you know,

744
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:02,500
there was a players that were
older than me.

745
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:07,200
So they were kind of taking it
over and in the room but my

746
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,800
senior year, he definitely let
me know if you have it.

747
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,600
So I would say definitely learn
leadership from him and as well

748
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,700
as you know, how to break down
film and Defenders.

749
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,700
Stands and all that stuff.
He bought a lot of those little

750
00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:25,500
tricks to the room.
Awesome, awesome.

751
00:43:25,700 --> 00:43:29,900
Okay, do you think a situation
like that?

752
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Where you know, you kind of
passing leadership a little bit

753
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,700
to the locker room?
You think that's something that

754
00:43:34,700 --> 00:43:37,400
will work with all rooms or was
that something that was a

755
00:43:37,408 --> 00:43:40,200
benefit because having having
two guys that have been there

756
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,300
and had all their starts under
their belt so that he felt he

757
00:43:43,300 --> 00:43:45,700
could do.
I think, I think that that

758
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:48,500
experience definitely help with
me and argue having the most

759
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:52,000
experience in the room.
But that was a general thing

760
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,800
with that new coaching staff
that came in.

761
00:43:54,500 --> 00:43:58,500
Take literally, he met with all
the seniors and told us that

762
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:01,700
this is your team.
We met we met with him almost

763
00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:04,800
every week and that was just
something different that he

764
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,300
brought to the table because,
you know, he was he wanted us to

765
00:44:08,300 --> 00:44:10,700
know that you guys are on the
field together.

766
00:44:10,700 --> 00:44:13,600
So I want you guys leaving it
because when things get rough,

767
00:44:14,100 --> 00:44:17,400
they're going to listen to you.
I can you know talk to I'm blue

768
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,000
in the face but this is your
team and it was only nine of us.

769
00:44:21,500 --> 00:44:24,200
So right off the Jump we had
that communication.

770
00:44:24,500 --> 00:44:27,400
He wanted to, you know, gain our
trust, we wanted to gain his

771
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,600
because it was a new coach.
We, yes, we had Beamer for three

772
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,300
years.
So I think all of that whole

773
00:44:33,300 --> 00:44:37,900
team, it was all about letting
The Stingers lead and that, you

774
00:44:37,908 --> 00:44:41,100
know, that trickled down to the
to the years after his well.

775
00:44:41,700 --> 00:44:46,000
Okay, well, that is something
awesome to hear that you get

776
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:51,200
comes in there and trust you
guys to leave and I'm nuts.

777
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,500
That's a learning experience.
I mean, for anybody, Brian, He

778
00:44:54,508 --> 00:44:56,700
played football and I've been in
corporate world, you have a

779
00:44:56,707 --> 00:44:58,200
leader, come in and do that for
you.

780
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:03,300
It makes you feel good because
you know, they trust you there

781
00:45:04,300 --> 00:45:07,300
is some technical stuff.
Does you went play left tackle

782
00:45:07,300 --> 00:45:09,400
three years coach, Vice comes
in.

783
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,700
You switch to, right?
Tackle, what is the biggest

784
00:45:12,700 --> 00:45:14,300
difference in a change like
that?

785
00:45:14,300 --> 00:45:17,200
Because I don't know.
I'm not the football.

786
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,100
Guy bronze, the football guy,
he's doing for played

787
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:22,300
collegiately.
I'm just a fan from like that

788
00:45:22,300 --> 00:45:23,800
happens.
Like, what?

789
00:45:23,900 --> 00:45:26,000
What's the Difference for you as
a player?

790
00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:30,800
Well, I was, I would say it.
Definitely helps you more than

791
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:35,100
it can hurt you because it
allows you to learn the whole

792
00:45:35,100 --> 00:45:37,200
scheme.
You're not just playing one

793
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,200
position.
Now, you have to switch

794
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,800
everything your head.
So when cereals came in my

795
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,200
sophomore year, he moved me to
write.

796
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:47,700
And then my junior, I play right
and left.

797
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,000
So, I was able to learn the
Playbook completely and see

798
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,300
different things that I wouldn't
see on the right that I saw her.

799
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,200
Left, if that makes sense.
You know I was thankful that

800
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,600
that happened because I wasn't
just stuck on one position and

801
00:46:01,607 --> 00:46:04,300
when I either got the Arizona I
was able to get more reps at

802
00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:08,200
left and right because you know
you have to be versatile if you

803
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,400
know want to play.
So it was able to I was able to

804
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,400
get more film on the left and
right.

805
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,100
So it would be you kind of help
more more than hurting.

806
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:23,700
So I like the way you mentioned
about learning both sides again,

807
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:28,200
the guy here with me he's taught
me a lot and as long as we've

808
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:33,200
been friends who didn't print 20
plus years mature, gone and any

809
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,000
sound like on game day, I'm like
texting.

810
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,800
And why did they do that?
If he explains it on, like my

811
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:43,300
phone down.
So it's really good to hear that

812
00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:46,900
because I can see it from
different views understanding

813
00:46:46,900 --> 00:46:48,300
and learning deeper into the
play.

814
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,600
A book when you say that it's
also, right?

815
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,000
And when coach advice came in,
he was deaf.

816
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,200
He was big on that.
Everyone playing all positions,

817
00:46:57,100 --> 00:47:00,900
not since you have to play
sinner, but want to go guy goes

818
00:47:00,900 --> 00:47:03,900
down, I mean that other person
is next man up.

819
00:47:03,900 --> 00:47:08,000
So he wanted all five of us to
be able to learn all positions

820
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:11,400
and be able to, you know, be
versatile and only office

821
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,700
supply.
He wanted his best five out

822
00:47:13,700 --> 00:47:16,300
there at any given time
regardless of whatever that's

823
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:17,900
going on.
Yeah, I got you.

824
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,000
Let's talk about that a little
bit.

825
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,900
Since we're, you know, we talked
a lot about camp and some of

826
00:47:22,900 --> 00:47:25,100
your experiences.
Let's talk about the currency in

827
00:47:25,100 --> 00:47:26,100
a little bit.
How do you feel about the

828
00:47:26,107 --> 00:47:28,200
current state of the offensive
line at Virginia Tech?

829
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,100
And I'm excited about these
guys, they're young and like I

830
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:36,100
said they've all played looks
like last year.

831
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:39,000
I was kind of looking and you
saw a different number in there

832
00:47:39,300 --> 00:47:43,400
literally every week and I think
that's big for an offensive line

833
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,200
that the whole group can play
and the injury injury is going

834
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,400
to happen in college football
world.

835
00:47:48,900 --> 00:47:52,800
We know that it's unfortunate,
but the next man's up and bites,

836
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,200
definitely challenged us every
week that the first file, that

837
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,600
doesn't mean anything.
There's somebody that can take

838
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,300
that spot that next week.
So that was a little different

839
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:05,400
seeing that too.
So it brought some competition

840
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:10,000
in the room and we, you know,
some people started one game and

841
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,600
some people did in the next
game, we understood, it's just

842
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,500
all you know, matters with that
that we can practice okay and

843
00:48:15,500 --> 00:48:17,600
there brings their brains
competition out of everyone.

844
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,200
That's awesome.
Yeah, I really liked what I saw.

845
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,500
Was some of the ways that you,
as the season went on, they

846
00:48:24,500 --> 00:48:26,800
started you know, mixing
matching some of the lime and

847
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,800
try to get the best best five
out there.

848
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,100
And you know, I think the result
is that we're going into 2020.

849
00:48:33,100 --> 00:48:36,000
Hopefully as the season can
happen the way we want. 25

850
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,800
relatively season guys even
though they're young and then

851
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,900
you got a broke off and coming
in there after missing last year

852
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:47,200
because of everything that was
going on with the NCAA.

853
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,900
So, I think it could really be a
big year for them.

854
00:48:49,900 --> 00:48:52,600
You know, we probably got seven
or eight guys that could you

855
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,100
know, legitimately see the
starting lineup at some point in

856
00:48:55,100 --> 00:48:56,400
the season.
Exactly.

857
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,200
I'm really excited about that
Rockhopper, man.

858
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,600
I'm excited to see what he has.
All the coaching staff has been

859
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,900
raving about them saying that
they can't wait to get him on

860
00:49:05,900 --> 00:49:10,100
the field, so I'm excited to see
him, you know, put that into

861
00:49:10,100 --> 00:49:12,000
action.
Yeah, it's gonna be interesting

862
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,900
seeing what they do with the
shift there because, you know,

863
00:49:13,900 --> 00:49:16,500
you know, he's played center.
He's played guard, you know.

864
00:49:16,500 --> 00:49:19,200
Is he gonna slide in its Center?
Is he going to say, Right,

865
00:49:19,300 --> 00:49:20,500
right?
Are they going to do with it?

866
00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:22,900
I definitely think you're going
to, you know, get on the field

867
00:49:22,900 --> 00:49:24,400
and show us something pretty
big.

868
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:29,100
There was that I just like the
way you talk about, what coach B

869
00:49:29,100 --> 00:49:31,600
does about playing.
All the positions in.

870
00:49:32,300 --> 00:49:35,900
Everybody got the Reps last year
because of that a lot safiye and

871
00:49:35,900 --> 00:49:38,000
you just mentioned it.
Now you're going in and saying,

872
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,000
hey white guard will commit,
that's fine.

873
00:49:41,300 --> 00:49:43,700
We going, we're going to steep,
we're going to keep rolling to

874
00:49:43,700 --> 00:49:46,600
keep running our offense.
We're not going to have to worry

875
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:53,000
about that position being Any
less right in in as somebody

876
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,500
that watched his men.
People can say, oh, best wide,

877
00:49:57,500 --> 00:50:00,600
receiver best quarterbacks.
Hmm, I want the best offensive

878
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:05,800
line most definitely.
Yep, you know, man, you got

879
00:50:06,300 --> 00:50:09,300
y'all know when y'all were
dominating people, how exactly

880
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:14,000
could take the will in I'll tell
you the game I remember and I'm

881
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,900
comfortable personal side here
run you were at that game when

882
00:50:17,900 --> 00:50:20,800
you Down it dude.
Don't get that pump late.

883
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,300
Y'all are deep.
Y'all literally drove them off

884
00:50:24,300 --> 00:50:27,100
the ball and you it was about
acting like the second person.

885
00:50:27,100 --> 00:50:31,000
There will was gone.
They just like we're not getting

886
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,600
this ball that they are matter.
Yep.

887
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:34,300
Yep.
Yep.

888
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,400
Ah man.
I got chills thinking about that

889
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:42,500
because you know as a team fight
there's me this.

890
00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:45,000
Don't want to see that offensive
line walk on the field and I'm

891
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,100
definitely that's correct.
Yeah right now, let me see.

892
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,400
Say this because let's shift a
little bit to this season, you

893
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,000
know, when the coach is you
being a former player, you know,

894
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,600
we're looking at is probably
going to be an all-conference

895
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,300
with maybe one additional out of
conference game.

896
00:50:59,300 --> 00:51:02,200
Maybe one cross conference.
You think this is going to

897
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,900
change of how this particular
coaching staff.

898
00:51:04,900 --> 00:51:06,800
Like, how they're going to
approach the seasons.

899
00:51:09,100 --> 00:51:13,600
I don't think it'll change.
I think because honestly, you

900
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,700
know, with what they came, he
was all about ACC play.

901
00:51:15,700 --> 00:51:18,700
Anyway.
I mean he would be Pair for the

902
00:51:18,700 --> 00:51:21,900
games but what was most
important was our conference

903
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,000
when the our Compass was most
important.

904
00:51:24,500 --> 00:51:26,600
And at the end of the day that,
you know, as a football team,

905
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,300
that's what you want to do is
when your conference and then

906
00:51:28,300 --> 00:51:33,500
you take the next step of.
So I think, I think it'll, I

907
00:51:33,508 --> 00:51:36,400
think he'll enjoy that more
being able to, you know, get

908
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,400
into conference play.
If they do, they always, you

909
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,500
know, just to always seek a
games.

910
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,400
But I think you do have to kind
of prepare for all circumstances

911
00:51:46,500 --> 00:51:48,000
because you just don't know, you
know, right?

912
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,200
Everything is unknown.
And once he's definitely big on

913
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,200
controlling, what you can
control, I know he's in the

914
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,000
present right now, trying to get
them, boys, ready for a season

915
00:51:58,300 --> 00:52:01,700
until you know, said otherwise.
So, it is kind of difficult as a

916
00:52:01,700 --> 00:52:03,300
coach as a player.
You just don't know what's going

917
00:52:03,300 --> 00:52:05,700
to happen.
As soon as they have that

918
00:52:05,700 --> 00:52:07,700
decision, I have no doubt.
They'll be ready.

919
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,700
That's awesome.
Yeah I like I said until we know

920
00:52:11,700 --> 00:52:13,800
what's going to happen.
It's going to, you got to

921
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,200
approach it.
Like whatever is in front of

922
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,000
you, got to just scratch full
steam ahead.

923
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,200
Got to got to take it one day at
a time when we can a Time One

924
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,200
game at a time.
So right, right.

925
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:25,500
So I know everybody has it,
whether it's a, whether it's a

926
00:52:25,500 --> 00:52:29,400
game that just something really
memorable happen or, you know,

927
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,300
you graded out the best or
whatever it is.

928
00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:34,000
But what was your most memorable
game you played as a hokey?

929
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:38,200
All right, so I have to and
wanting to be marijuana in a

930
00:52:38,207 --> 00:52:39,400
point there.
Okay.

931
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,200
The first one would be Alabama.
That was my first game as a

932
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,200
college athlete.
They just came up with a

933
00:52:47,207 --> 00:52:50,100
national championship.
Oh my, that was, that was my

934
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:54,700
freshman year and we're in the
Georgia Dome, we're playing.

935
00:52:55,300 --> 00:52:59,400
And I'm just like, I'm first of
all, we get on the field.

936
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,100
I'm just like, what are these
boys eating?

937
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,100
They were huge.
They were, I was just like,

938
00:53:08,100 --> 00:53:10,800
yeah, I'm about to play them as
a freshman, you know, this is

939
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,400
crazy.
So that definitely gave me

940
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,900
confidence doing this season and
didn't throw him over career.

941
00:53:15,900 --> 00:53:18,800
Just say I played the best my
first game ever.

942
00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:21,900
Yeah, so I can definitely
compete from here on now.

943
00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:26,500
You know, this Alabama is top
tier program, them guys being

944
00:53:26,500 --> 00:53:29,600
you know, so big and not, you
know, I did pretty well, we lost

945
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,100
the game but that's definitely
one of the games.

946
00:53:33,100 --> 00:53:38,000
I remember one of my, you know,
best games that I could think of

947
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,500
an era and then the second one
would be UVA.

948
00:53:41,100 --> 00:53:45,700
My senior every year, we were
really close to UVA.

949
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:50,000
Maybe about a field goal will be
them, barely beat them and then

950
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,400
just to beat them by, you know,
5210 there we go.

951
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,400
That was that was a great
feeling man.

952
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,700
So not only do, we have the cup?
We also want to coaster that

953
00:53:59,700 --> 00:54:03,500
year too.
So that was probably, you know,

954
00:54:03,500 --> 00:54:06,300
one of my best games out that I
remember, that's awesome.

955
00:54:06,300 --> 00:54:10,400
Yeah, kept the Go and get the,
get the cup and I got to put it

956
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,600
on UVA as a senior.
Ain't nothing better than that.

957
00:54:12,700 --> 00:54:14,000
Nothing better than that right
there.

958
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:20,000
I tell you now the home game to
that year wasn't it was even

959
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:25,900
sweet memory banks to that.
And that Alabama, you talk about

960
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:28,900
their Alabama, man.
I mean that was like John Allen,

961
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:35,000
I don't think pain.
I mean just off the magic and I

962
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,100
give y'all credit because y'all
fall thought that game so hard.

963
00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:40,700
It was one of those things
watching it at home.

964
00:54:40,700 --> 00:54:42,300
It's like we're not going to
quit.

965
00:54:42,500 --> 00:54:45,200
Right, right.
Like they're going to have to

966
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:46,500
knock us out.
We won't.

967
00:54:46,500 --> 00:54:49,800
We're not going to lay down on
me but I remember that game.

968
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,100
3:30 kick.
Yeah.

969
00:54:52,300 --> 00:55:04,000
Well you know you were under
coach Beamer and say is there

970
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,900
anything that either of those
guys did or said that?

971
00:55:07,100 --> 00:55:10,600
Stuck with you on just maybe not
from maybe a football sample.

972
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:15,800
Magista like Point, yes, most
definitely they both.

973
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,300
I will start with Beamer.
I'll go back to the freshman

974
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:20,200
year.
He came up to me right before

975
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,200
they game and asked me, you
know, asked me if I was ready

976
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:25,700
and I was like, of course coach.
I'm ready.

977
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:30,700
And he told me that game that
you've prepared for this

978
00:55:30,700 --> 00:55:33,900
opportunity, your preparation
has made you ready for this

979
00:55:33,900 --> 00:55:36,900
opportunity?
And I take that to me today.

980
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,900
That, you know, you have to be
prepared for your opportunity.

981
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,900
That's in life, anything, you
do?

982
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,700
You know your next opportunity
will come, you just have to be

983
00:55:46,700 --> 00:55:48,300
prepared for it.
It was it was simple.

984
00:55:48,300 --> 00:55:51,500
He didn't you know, he's a man
of few words but I never really

985
00:55:51,500 --> 00:55:53,400
stuck with me with you know him
coming to a freshman.

986
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,800
At didn't tell me that you're
ready, you know, we trust you.

987
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,500
We're you we we saw what you've
done.

988
00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:03,800
I'll Camp never just go play
again with went a it was

989
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,000
similar.
He used to say all the time play

990
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,200
the next play.
So meaning, you know, you get

991
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:14,000
beat One play, you still got
more place to go and that's the

992
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,400
same thing in life as well.
I'll take that with me every day

993
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,000
when I'm at work.
I think about things, you know,

994
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,900
things that obstacles that come
through.

995
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,700
You have to play the next place.
You have to get yourself up and

996
00:56:23,700 --> 00:56:27,300
get ready for what's next.
You can't, you know, just be on

997
00:56:27,300 --> 00:56:29,000
that one.
Play that just happened.

998
00:56:29,300 --> 00:56:31,000
You have to put an extra.
Yeah.

999
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,000
Don't don't let a pass them beat
you this down.

1000
00:56:34,500 --> 00:56:36,300
Get was definitely, yep.
That's it.

1001
00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:41,600
That's it.

1002
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,100
We really thank you for joining
us today.

1003
00:56:44,300 --> 00:56:49,000
Muslim again, we want to thank
John McLaughlin for joining us

1004
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,800
today.
Hey Brian, we talked about it

1005
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:54,200
again in the program about with
the conference could look like

1006
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,300
we mentioned it to John about
how you think the coaches will

1007
00:56:56,300 --> 00:56:58,800
prepare.
But let me ask you this if the

1008
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,800
acnc goes to an eight game
schedule, but let's say it makes

1009
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,800
some sort of agreement with the
SEC in the Big 12 to play one

1010
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:07,800
out.
Conference game.

1011
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,800
Who do you want that out of
conference opponent to be?

1012
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:16,200
Oh man, that's a good question.
Let's see, give me.

1013
00:57:16,300 --> 00:57:20,100
Give me Jimbo Fisher in the
Texas, A&M Aggies.

1014
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:23,800
Let's let's go out there.
Maybe or they can come visit us

1015
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,400
and we can figure out something
else will not Jimbo down in a

1016
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,700
couple notches after some of the
troubles he's had the last

1017
00:57:30,700 --> 00:57:33,500
couple years.
So people kick a man while he's

1018
00:57:33,500 --> 00:57:37,500
down kick a man while he's down.
Solutely.

1019
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:43,300
I will I think I'm towing here
on because I want revenge on

1020
00:57:43,300 --> 00:57:46,900
that ugly orange down in
Knoxville, I want revenge.

1021
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,600
We should have turned the ball
over that many times back at

1022
00:57:49,607 --> 00:57:52,400
Bristol and they still chirp
about it.

1023
00:57:53,400 --> 00:58:01,300
But then there's that team over
in West, Virginia that buddy

1024
00:58:01,300 --> 00:58:05,200
when we were in school, you deal
with nasty.

1025
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,100
We never got to, I never got Go
to, and I can't remember if you

1026
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:12,300
have or not, but you know what?
We took them down up at FedEx

1027
00:58:12,300 --> 00:58:13,900
and we got them in a few years.
Let's give them.

1028
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,900

Tennessee.
