In this episode we look at all aspects of the Hokies upcoming season, weigh in on several of the key factors for success, and make predictions for the Hokies win-loss record should things break their way this Fall.
1
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:50,300
Welcome back to the boundary
Corner podcast with my partner,
2
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:54,200
Brian seagull.
I am Curtis Wilson, welcome to
3
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,000
the new normal brine.
Yes sir.
4
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,300
Yes sir.
Welcome back.
5
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:03,700
It's a Tuesday night.
We're riding Tuesdays at least
6
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:05,900
from here on out to the end of
the season.
7
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,600
We'll see how we pivot from
there but yeah.
8
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,600
So look for us on Tuesday is
going forward.
9
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,200
It's a good Tuesday night
though.
10
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,400
Curtis how you feeling buddy.
It is a Tuesday night little
11
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,600
earlier in the week.
You know, Brian says, watch
12
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,100
first, on Tuesdays.
We may flip it to Monday's for
13
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:26,000
some of the Thursday games just
to get the content out there
14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,500
earlier but I'm feeling good
man.
15
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:35,100
You know it's it's the summer is
winding down in all aspects.
16
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:42,100
Schools essentially is started
here and it's footballs in the
17
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:45,300
air.
Watch several preseason games
18
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:47,100
over the weekend.
Yep.
19
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:53,300
You know, we've had some mostly
fall weather here man, like,
20
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:57,000
especially last week and parts
of this week or looking pretty
21
00:01:57,700 --> 00:01:58,700
nice.
Not, not.
22
00:01:58,700 --> 00:01:59,900
Not that.
Cool.
23
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:03,700
But unseasonable e comfortable.
Yeah, comfortable.
24
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,300
Yeah.
So we're really waiting for the
25
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:10,900
September games that's 102 and
it's just like miserable
26
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:12,900
outside.
Like this is it.
27
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,600
Fun like hot games.
Hard games and football.
28
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,400
Just do not go together.
At least we should we should be
29
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,200
pretty good for for the opener
because it's, you know, 8:00, so
30
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,400
it's a night game but it down at
the beach, you can get a little
31
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,800
humidity, a little breeze off.
So down there who knows what the
32
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:40,400
weather potentially could be.
Let's start, man, we have some
33
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,700
big news that broke last week.
I don't think it shocked any of
34
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:49,600
but a quarterback decision was
made Brian and I don't think it
35
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,400
shocked, anyone Grant Wells, the
Marshall transfer was named
36
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,400
starting quarterback and I kind
of asked you when it happened.
37
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,300
I said why now, why?
Why not later?
38
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:05,800
There's there's a couple reasons
to me.
39
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:10,000
Number one, you want to get last
week of Camp, you want to have
40
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,500
your starter name?
Do you want to kind of get that
41
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:17,000
comfort with the receivers?
Getting those extra reps that
42
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,800
are true, starter will get and
getting those reps with the guys
43
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,200
that he's going to be throwing
to more consistently once the
44
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,900
season starts.
And that's kind of the big thing
45
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:29,900
there and we know he's been
majority working with the ones
46
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:34,000
but as you kind of wind down its
the It's no more like ones.
47
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,100
Get equal reps with twos and
threes and so forth, you're
48
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:40,700
starting to see okay well for
every three or four reps that
49
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:43,500
grants getting you know Jason's
probably only getting one or two
50
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:47,200
and you start getting a little
bit imbalance there which gives
51
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,800
Grant a little bit better
opportunity to get more.
52
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Acclimated with that offense is
still a new offense for him, new
53
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,500
offense for even guys that were
Veterans of the team last year.
54
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,100
So it's important to do that as
you get gear into this week.
55
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,800
Which is you know, my game week
so you have want you close out
56
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,600
fall Camp, you got your starter
name, you roll in the mud game
57
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,500
we can then you get full week
one preparation starting next
58
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,700
week.
Yeah, it's that timing piece and
59
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:18,700
when you explain that to me, it
made sense.
60
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:21,700
Because now so it was named
Wednesday.
61
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:25,400
So we got obviously he got
Friday, he get the scrimmage
62
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,000
where it's probably what
probably 80/20, if not 85/15,
63
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:31,800
where he was probably resting
with the ones.
64
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,900
Sunday, Monday.
Now they're doing a mock game
65
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,300
week likely this week, so it
made sense.
66
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:40,200
Something I'm going to tell you
something.
67
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:43,700
I don't think Brent prize ever.
Going to put Brad Glenn on the
68
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:47,500
podium around Spring ball
because Brad Boone was very
69
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:51,800
blunt in his assessment.
When he said, oh no, no, no, no
70
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:55,600
Wells had a significant gap on
Jason going, and after the
71
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,700
spring, where Brent prowl is a
little more of a they're
72
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:03,700
battling every battle when was
like, And he gave Jason the
73
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:06,800
ultimate compliments that you
know, summer workouts, early
74
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,600
part of fall Camp, Jason was
continuing to push it and got
75
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,100
better but he could never catch
Grant.
76
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,500
So I just thought it was because
that was just brutal honesty.
77
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:21,400
And if if you put him on the mic
and made us, he say that, and
78
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,600
Brent prize to give him the
side, I like no, no, there are
79
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,900
competing, some nobody has lead.
I mean, I appreciate the
80
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:33,000
honesty, I'll be and I
appreciate, I mean, there's
81
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,900
going to be some coach speak
here and there but I appreciate
82
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:37,600
the honesty.
Coming out from coach Glenn
83
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,100
there.
I think that's going to be.
84
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:42,300
I think we kind of saw it right?
When we watch the spring game, I
85
00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:46,900
mean, I know there was some
deficiency with the offensive
86
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:50,200
line that Jason was working with
compared to Grant.
87
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,800
So, you know, there was some
inequality, in terms of the time
88
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,000
they were given the cleanliness
of the pockets, things like
89
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
that.
At, but I think we can see just
90
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,400
with the throws the Christmas
that there was, there was a gap
91
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,200
there and there was going to be
a big gap that that would have
92
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,800
to be closed if Jason was going
to take that starting spot and I
93
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,700
think as a team and as a fan
base, I think we're probably
94
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,600
happy with the way this worked
out, because now you've got the
95
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,500
guy that's going to be your
potential starter for this year
96
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:29,200
next year, and maybe another
year.
97
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,900
Pulling the trigger this this
season.
98
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:37,300
I think that's important.
Long term for this team because
99
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,000
the inconsistency at the
quarterback position has been a
100
00:06:41,008 --> 00:06:43,500
big Bugaboo for the last five
years.
101
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,200
Yeah.
That's been talked about quite a
102
00:06:45,207 --> 00:06:47,600
few places.
I Know, cover 3 pod, they
103
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,800
mentioned one of the hosts are
Tom for nearly mention how much
104
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,300
he liked Grant Wells and about
how the quarterback position had
105
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:56,300
been in flux at tech for so
long.
106
00:06:56,900 --> 00:07:02,600
A couple other things that That
Brad Glenn said was he really
107
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,800
like the command that you know,
Grant has of the offense at all
108
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,400
three levels but especially was
very very keen on talking about
109
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:15,700
that deep ball accuracy, which
you know what he said?
110
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:18,500
You know, normally like to take
two to three shots of quarter
111
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,700
and then he's like but what
Grant it could be more and
112
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:25,800
you're just like counting isn't
that would be 12 if we do more.
113
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,500
Are we saying we're going to
take if he passes 30 times Are
114
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:32,800
going to take half of them down,
fecal it we're getting ready in
115
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,200
12 to 15 shots of game.
I'll take that I'll take that
116
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,900
especially for taking that if
we're able to establish that
117
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:41,400
running game and take most of
those off a play action where
118
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,500
you get a clean pocket and be
able to look look deep with a
119
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:47,200
clean pocket.
Therefore for Glenn.
120
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,600
So for green, I mean, sorry, not
for Coach Lynn preferred Grant.
121
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:53,300
I think that's the big thing,
man.
122
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:57,600
And I think Glenn wants that
clean pocket, but I think it was
123
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,200
the other piece, the other two
levels because I think we've
124
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,600
seen some of the video Grant
Wells.
125
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,900
He does have a really good deep,
all very accurate on it, but
126
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:10,600
understanding now you're at the
P5, not the G5 level, those
127
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,800
short and intermediate throws
are going to be just as
128
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,100
important to move the chains.
We talk about taking Chopsticks
129
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:22,500
great, but if it's second and
10, Ok, We're going to give an
130
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:25,600
easy intermediate throw.
Oh here that's going to get for
131
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,800
26 yards.
So we are set up in good
132
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,400
position that's when I hear
that, that's what I feel.
133
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,799
Like Brad is saying if we take
that shot on first, we feel that
134
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:40,299
Grant can get us with a good
pass in to move the sticks
135
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:43,600
range.
Yeah, and you know, we talked
136
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,600
about it when we had read
ciancia from pits pick six
137
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,300
previews on here, that looking
at last year's offensive metrics
138
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:57,100
You know, we had a lot of big
plays but in the middle of that,
139
00:08:57,300 --> 00:08:59,600
we didn't do a whole lot of in
the past.
140
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,900
Okay.
So if we weren't going for 30
141
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:06,700
yards, plus we probably weren't
moving the ball at all.
142
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:09,600
Nope, and that's something that
I think is going to change with
143
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,900
this new offense and with this
new coaching staff and with
144
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:17,100
Grant Wells pulling the trigger
is that short and intermediate
145
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:21,800
accuracy and routes that attack
the middle of the defense.
146
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:23,900
It's in routes.
Then attack the short
147
00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:27,700
intermediate area is outside,
the hash marks.
148
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,400
I think that's where we're going
to see a little bit of
149
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,100
difference and that's going to
get the quarterback more
150
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:37,300
comfortable with that's going to
make the defense creep up where
151
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:39,300
you can take those shots more
effectively
152
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,500
abso-freakin'-lutely.
Last piece I want to mention
153
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:45,300
about something I noticed here
in the Brad.
154
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,800
Brad Callen interview.
He had talked about with Devin
155
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,400
Farrell Taj Bullock.
He had not been focused on those
156
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,400
guys.
At all.
157
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:54,800
And basically kind of said, when
you're trying to find who you're
158
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,300
starting QB, is, that's my
focus, not not getting in there.
159
00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:04,000
Developing the young guys.
But now he mentioned how with
160
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
this happening, it's almost he
can start focusing figuring out
161
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,100
who's third team, who scout team
and, you know, talked about
162
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:18,600
probably getting to see more of
their reps is the sense I got
163
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,500
from it.
So now I think really, as we get
164
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:27,700
into, you know, for five months
from now, if someone leaves,
165
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:30,100
there's that clear indicator
because Glenn got more of a
166
00:10:30,108 --> 00:10:32,100
chance to actually work with
them to see.
167
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,100
And give his opinion versus
really what's been going on
168
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:39,700
since January.
Yeah.
169
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:42,800
And some of this and my mindset
is that when he's saying that
170
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,400
he's saying that, you know, when
he's out there in practice, you
171
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,400
know, he's obviously paying
attention to those reps, but
172
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,800
what he's not doing, he's not
going back to the tape after
173
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,500
practice and meticulously going
through their, their reps during
174
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:00,200
practice to see.
All right, what's the difference
175
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,800
between him and him?
He's not East on that aspect yet
176
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:06,100
he's focused.
He was focused more on.
177
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:09,500
You know, is it going to be
Grant Wells or Jason Brown and
178
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:13,400
now that he's gotten that he can
devote a little bit more of that
179
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,800
time that last week after the
starter was named this week
180
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,600
during my game week, seeing who?
That that third guy is going to
181
00:11:22,608 --> 00:11:26,000
be working with them to, you
know, kind of get them a little
182
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,100
more up to speed in terms of,
you know, where their
183
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:32,100
deficiencies are in the offense.
So they are a little bit more.
184
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,300
Paired as we head into the
season and then, you know, Tha
185
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:38,700
have that talk with the scout
team guy and say, hey you're
186
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:41,100
going to make us better every
week by giving us a hundred and
187
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:44,100
ten percent against that
defense.
188
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,900
So that's when those
conversations are happening.
189
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:51,600
Abso-freakin'-lutely.
So, quarterback decision made so
190
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,700
less to worry about going into
the ODU game.
191
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:59,200
That Grant Wells is the starter.
I know a lot of people want to
192
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,500
Grant to start because of that
three years you've got to got
193
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:03,200
three years.
Get to learn the system, a lot
194
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,900
better, I let slip it over.
Let's let's go, let's go down a
195
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:10,700
little bit because kind of the
next news kind of sucks few
196
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:13,500
weeks ago.
You know, we had the panel on
197
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:17,000
here and David Cunningham had
been mentioning dalen, right?
198
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,900
Couple times.
Well, if you didn't see,
199
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:21,400
downright posted on his
Instagram.
200
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,900
Few days ago, season-ending
surgery, we do not know what
201
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:27,800
specifically it was from the
look of it.
202
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,000
I'm assuming the lower extremity
injury because the picture was
203
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,200
Him from about his midsection
up, I know.
204
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,000
This is a guy you've been home
with, you know, basketball
205
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,500
player didn't focus on football
and really that, senior season
206
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:47,400
really turned it on.
And obviously, this is this
207
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,700
hurts to death because he was a
guy that was battling probably
208
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:52,900
for fourth or fifth, it's fine.
Yeah.
209
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:55,000
He was definitely kind of a guy
that you were to look at it at
210
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,200
45 position.
They're probably you know five
211
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,900
and he was going to see
significant time this year, the
212
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:07,400
way it was lining up for him.
So that's a big blow for us.
213
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,700
I think that there are some
other guys in that room, that
214
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:12,800
can step up and take on that
role.
215
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,700
But when you have a guy that's
already kind of poised to take
216
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:19,700
that role and you lose him
during fall Camp, that's always
217
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:23,300
a big blow.
So it may take two three weeks
218
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:26,000
into the season.
Before we really have that role
219
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,100
that fifth spot, kind of ironed
out and fleshed out to where we
220
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,300
want it to be.
Absolutely.
221
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,600
Now, another big hit and it was
kind of confirmed with the team
222
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,200
photo will Stewart.
TSL pointed it out, Malachi
223
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,000
Thomas, has the walking boot on
one of his feet there.
224
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:47,300
For Enterprise, been saying he's
week to week.
225
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:51,100
We, I see that.
And I know I've said it to a
226
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,000
couple people.
I'm like, it's got to Hank all
227
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,700
the way they're talking about it
not a me usually a high ankle.
228
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:00,900
It's going to be week to week.
Some guys can take a high ankle
229
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:04,000
get back in three or four weeks
some guys and take six to eight
230
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:07,300
but hat, not having him in the
way it looks.
231
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:09,800
He's not going to be do to you
not having him.
232
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,400
For ODU does hurt the Russian
attack in the overall attack of
233
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,000
the offense.
Yeah.
234
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,300
And I'd rather I'd rather not
have him ODU then against BC or
235
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:25,700
West Virginia.
But you know, obviously I'd
236
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:30,900
rather have him on the field.
You know, it's gonna you know
237
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,900
look like we're going to be
looking leaning on Holston and
238
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:37,100
then we've got obviously Keshawn
king that's kind of come on this
239
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:39,900
year.
We got chance black that's going
240
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:41,600
to do stuff out of the back
field.
241
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,100
Probably a lot the passing game,
so there's guys behind him but
242
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:49,100
you know obviously Thomas I
think had the highest upside
243
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,300
heading into this season because
he I think he was already
244
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,900
probably ahead of where Holston
was and obviously had room to
245
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,600
get even better from there.
So, you know, hopefully we'll
246
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,200
get him back sooner rather than
later.
247
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,200
I'm hoping at least West
Virginia, maybe at the latest
248
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,700
UNC at the absolute latest but
hopefully back sometime in
249
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:11,100
September if we can sooner the
better for him.
250
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:13,500
You mentioned wholesome.
Olsen was nicked, he did not
251
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:16,800
practice Friday but it's one of
those things where that was
252
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,800
precautionary is what everybody
was saying.
253
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,800
Like if this was a game day, he
would have played.
254
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,200
But when you're number one run,
Or you're 18 option is out.
255
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,000
Don't let the one B option get
hurt.
256
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:29,700
I mean, don't let the one being.
If there's a question mark, hold
257
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:31,700
about keeping keeping ready to
go.
258
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:35,400
Keep him fresh, make sure
whatever it is gets full
259
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,100
treatment and full rest and
bringing back, you know,
260
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,200
practicing this week for for my
game.
261
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,400
We yeah another person who had
been out for a couple weeks.
262
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,100
Jaden blue you know was advised
is going to be back soon.
263
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:51,600
I think he was out there in a
non-blue contact, but not doing
264
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,700
drills.
Oddly similar to Holston you've
265
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:57,800
lost Dallin, right?
Who could be your 45 and you've
266
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,600
got, you know, you've got
Lofton, you've got Caleb,
267
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
obviously, doing big things,
it's again, I could see that as
268
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,600
a whole situation.
Hey, he could play today, he's
269
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,700
our number three or he's our 2
to a 1, b, 1, C, whatever.
270
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:14,800
He's a guy that's going to be on
the field, a lot.
271
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,600
This is a practice.
Yeah, just yeah, we don't all
272
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,300
have got we got three receivers
that we know are kind of Feel
273
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:25,000
Like A Step Above kind of where
everybody else is right.
274
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,900
So and he's one of those three.
So you don't want to risk having
275
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:32,300
one of those three guys, you
know, aggravating something
276
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:34,800
that's more of a nagging thing
and it turns into a bigger
277
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,200
thing.
So, you know, hold him out, get
278
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,500
him ready.
Like I said, I think it seems
279
00:16:39,500 --> 00:16:42,300
like he's gonna be back
practicing this week at some
280
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:45,700
point.
So, you know, we'll see how how
281
00:16:45,708 --> 00:16:48,600
that goes.
But at least it seems like we
282
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,700
avoided another potential
catastrophe there in a room that
283
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,000
That has a lot of question
marks, right?
284
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:59,000
In a room, we could not avoid
catastrophe and then we had to
285
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
avoid catastrophe, an excuse me,
can I take it to a tree
286
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,200
sometimes?
Alright, another couple rooms
287
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:09,200
that got hit kalai, Lawson out,
one to two weeks stinks because
288
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,000
he is such an athletic freak.
Not having him on the field but
289
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
it is a room with a lot of
people.
290
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:20,099
A lot of people probably going
to get playing time to good to
291
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:21,200
hear.
Hopefully one to two weeks, you
292
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,700
could see his His knee was the
knee area was wrapped in the
293
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:28,500
photo and Benji, guys.
Nail another room that's deep.
294
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:33,100
He's being evaluated.
I do not think I had not seen
295
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:34,700
anything being reported on him
yet.
296
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:38,400
Obviously, you'll have media
tomorrow, so be paying close
297
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:46,300
attention to that, you know?
I would say it sucks more for
298
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:49,300
collide than Benji, because
binge, he's going to be fighting
299
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:50,700
multiple guys to get on the
field.
300
00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:53,400
This year, after already coming
off an injury.
301
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,700
So that's my opinion sucks for
collide more than anybody.
302
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,900
Yeah, I think Benji was at a
point where he was going to get
303
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:02,500
some reps this year, but I'm
pretty sure he was going to be a
304
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:07,200
red shirt player.
Whereas Daquan, right is is
305
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,600
fighting for spots on the depth
chart for the for the full
306
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,700
season there.
And and he kind of understand
307
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,900
that even unless Benji was going
out there and completely lighten
308
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:20,800
it up and was Head and Shoulders
above.
309
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,800
Any other young guys you want to
Redshirt him coming off an
310
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,600
injury like that.
So yeah I think that was always
311
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,200
the plan for him.
Anyway we'll see if this has any
312
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,400
impact on those four games at.
He would have had some some
313
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,200
playing time in you know, Lawson
I think is the big, is the
314
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,900
bigger one at least in the short
term that is a position where we
315
00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:43,900
have pretty good depth.
And obviously he's not the
316
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:46,400
Frontline player at that
position but he is a guy that
317
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,200
was going to see significant
number of snaps.
318
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:54,400
I believe just from his skill
set, his length and things like
319
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,600
that.
I think that that was going to
320
00:18:55,608 --> 00:18:59,500
get him on the field even if
it's just a pass rush type role
321
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,500
in the in the 2022 season, he
was going to see some snaps so
322
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:08,100
hopefully he can get back out
there as soon as possible so we
323
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:12,000
can get him some of that action.
Absolutely, if anything catalyze
324
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,800
a big chest, Peace that they we
know he was getting work.
325
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,600
It will, he was getting work at
Sam can move around off the S
326
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,800
such an athlete and obviously go
back to special teams to a guy
327
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,200
660.
We've seen those box jumps.
328
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:32,600
I hope you can come back and get
some PT be used on special
329
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,200
teams.
All right, let's flip it.
330
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,100
There's been some talk obviously
last week about position battles
331
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,500
and I think left guard, I think
it is a war.
332
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,500
Or going on right there between
Hanson and more because you
333
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:51,100
know, it's been said by coach
Brent pry, bring l'amour's going
334
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:55,800
to get playing time this year.
Said it, you know, and then he's
335
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,800
going to get some PT week.
One said, yeah, it's a PT week
336
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,700
one and then we're starting to
hear six or seven.
337
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:07,300
The used to be just six.
Now we're starting to hear that
338
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:10,900
seven number which I know makes
me and you both feel
339
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:13,000
significantly better on that
offensive line.
340
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:15,800
Absolutely.
Yeah, that and that's going to
341
00:20:15,808 --> 00:20:18,100
be big and I think that left
guard, I said it on the
342
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:20,600
timeline.
I think we tweeted out earlier
343
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,800
this week or in the last week.
Eek, you know, a guy like
344
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,700
Braylon more winning that job,
only raises the floor and the
345
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:30,700
ceiling for the offensive line
this year.
346
00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:34,900
Because, you know, we knew that
coming in, I was like, okay well
347
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:37,900
who's it going to be is going to
be Jesse handsome at that spot,
348
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:41,300
you know, and we were pretty
content with Jesse Hanson
349
00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:43,000
holding that down.
Yep.
350
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
The fact that brayla more seems
to be kind of approaching that
351
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,500
level already.
It really only having switched
352
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:51,800
positions, you know, late late
in the spring.
353
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:56,800
That's big for a true freshman
coming in and he's only going to
354
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,700
get better from here.
So that like I said, that's
355
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:02,300
going to raise the floor in the
ceiling for this offensive lines
356
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:06,400
potential this year and it helps
the depth because now you got a
357
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,600
guy like handsome that is, he
doesn't have a whole lot of Game
358
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,100
wraps.
But he's a guy that has been a
359
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:20,900
power five lineman for a while,
has shown some potential that's
360
00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:24,600
going to improve your depth and
obviously we were somewhat
361
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,000
comfortable with him as a
starter as we were moving from
362
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,200
Spring and fall.
Absolutely that.
363
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,000
Again that's only going to help
that depth are now we're just
364
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,600
looking for that that one or two
tackles to kind of Step into the
365
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,900
kind of fill out this this
eight-man rotation That you want
366
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:44,200
to be really be comfortable with
your offensive line.
367
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,700
I'm hoping that's a guy like
Xavier Chaplin or Johnny Garrett
368
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,500
somebody, you know.
Yeah, absolutely.
369
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,500
Hopefully one of those guys as
prize mentioned, maybe it's not
370
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:57,400
the beginning but maybe by the
time we hit October getting
371
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,300
those reps in practice.
Working with Scout teams getting
372
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:05,000
in finally.
Click, OK, we can now trust this
373
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,300
guy to play tackle as for the
rest of the season.
374
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:13,600
So somebody Down as much depth
as we have.
375
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,500
A lot of the linebacker is just
fun this year between between my
376
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:21,800
quill and saying, man, I mean,
you got Keller last week,
377
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,900
running with Dax Jason, Keller,
running with the ones and then
378
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:29,300
there's mentioning that there
are certain sense where
379
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:33,200
Tisdale's running with the
threes on will but he's running
380
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,700
one's own Mike.
Sometimes you're playing some
381
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:42,100
Mike I mean that room is just
it's Lee, I would say that is
382
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:46,700
our most talented room top to
bottom in every aspect.
383
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:49,300
Whether it be the mental aspect,
the athletic aspect, the
384
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:54,500
versatility aspect, definitely
on defense, I'll definitely give
385
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:56,700
you that on defense.
I can make argument for tight in
386
00:22:56,700 --> 00:22:59,300
on offense but definitely on
defense.
387
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:04,700
I'm good with you there and yeah
Keller running with the ones is
388
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:09,100
great news because just like I
was talking about with more and
389
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:13,500
Hanson If you've got a guy
beating out him in trench
390
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:17,200
starter, that's only raising the
floor in the ceiling of that
391
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,200
potential that linebacker spot
right there.
392
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,700
Yes.
And when you couple that with
393
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:24,800
the mixing and matching of
moving Tisdale into mic on some
394
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,900
sets and running with Keller,
that's improving your
395
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:31,000
athleticism at the position
because now you're taking a guy
396
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,400
that has the athleticism to play
Will and now you're moving into
397
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,200
Mike Keller still running that
will spot.
398
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:41,100
I mean, that's raising the bar
across the Lord, I feel like,
399
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,900
you know, we'll see if that
translates to better play on the
400
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:45,900
field.
Obviously, we haven't seen
401
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:50,300
enough at this point to really
make that judgment, and we've
402
00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:52,800
only seen it in inter-squad
scrimmages.
403
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,000
So, you know, we'll see if that
translates into wins, but I
404
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,800
think that's definitely raising
the potential for that room.
405
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,800
Both on the, like I said, from a
florist and point in the ceiling
406
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,800
standpoint, 100%.
I cannot wait to see that unit
407
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,700
play this season under Prime.
Marv because I do think we're
408
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:16,200
going to see a significant step.
Alright, let's talk about D end.
409
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:20,900
So it maybe I heard this wrong
so I know you listen to it too.
410
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:25,300
Call Nelson.
And McRae are pushing starters.
411
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,700
What Wei Zhang Who the hell's
opposite of garbage?
412
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:29,000
I thought they were fighting
for.
413
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,800
That spot.
Is it?
414
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,300
Is it Jay Griff?
Is it somebody else?
415
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:37,000
Because either way it's a good
thing, it's a good thing to hear
416
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,200
those two young guys and once
again, it's bronze philosophy.
417
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,200
Now that we're talking about
these, you know, basically
418
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,100
freshmen sophomores pushing for
PT the whole group goes up.
419
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:52,700
Yeah, I think that's the big
thing and I'm not sure if he was
420
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:56,600
meaning, you know, they were
pushing the play level, that
421
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,000
Garbutt was bringing to the
table, whether they were
422
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,800
referencing Griffin.
In this situation.
423
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:07,100
As being the entrenched starter
at the position or what the
424
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:11,500
situation would be, obviously
Griffin was probably You know,
425
00:25:11,500 --> 00:25:14,300
the third-best DN that we had
last season.
426
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,600
So if you're just, you know,
moving that into the current
427
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,300
roster now that you've got bar
know, in the NFL then that would
428
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:27,300
kind of be considered the
entrenched starters there, so.
429
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:31,900
But I think the big thing for me
is McCrea.
430
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,200
McRae coming on in McRae being
at least pushing for starting,
431
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,500
if not, you know, fully in the
too deep at this point, I think
432
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:43,200
is a great thing for this
defense.
433
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,300
You know, no offense to Eli
Adams.
434
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:52,600
I like the craze size and speed
combination a lot better than I
435
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,300
do.
What Adams brings to the table?
436
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:59,800
I think Adams is a good, you
know, 3D player.
437
00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:02,700
He's a guy that he's played
enough reps.
438
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:05,400
Now where you can put him out
there, a handful of snaps of
439
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,400
game and he can get stuff done
for you.
440
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,200
He's not the guy that I want out
there for a whole series or for
441
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,800
multiple series back to back.
Absolutely.
442
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:20,400
So again the more you hear the
young guys named the the better
443
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,200
you feel not only about this
season but the future because I
444
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,300
do believe this staff would be
pushing.
445
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:31,000
Whoever the best player is not
necessarily seniority.
446
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:35,600
I was I was hoping we hear
something cornerback to is still
447
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,600
a mystery between Chapman and
Marie.
448
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:42,400
Hopefully we get some info in
the next couple days.
449
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,100
Either way, I think again, both
guys have a lot of playing time
450
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:49,400
out there.
You kind of feel comfortable
451
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,900
with either one of them, you
know, they both, they both can
452
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:55,100
be good players.
They both have their flaws as
453
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:58,000
compared to their door in strong
who is just seemingly.
454
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,800
I think they've said it a couple
times just consistent consistent
455
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,900
consistent.
Yeah I think that's the thing
456
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:08,600
we've seen you know Chapman have
good plays in Bad plays, we've
457
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:14,500
seen Marie Marie, seems to be
more matchup dependent in terms
458
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:18,600
of his play whereas Chapman.
It is more like truly
459
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,100
inconsistent at times, but I
think Chapman in terms of just
460
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:25,300
pure coverage is the better
option there.
461
00:27:27,300 --> 00:27:30,000
But, you know, does he have
those?
462
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,700
Is he able to do enough?
And be consistent with it in
463
00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:38,500
order to keep Marie off the
field at that corner back to I'm
464
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:42,200
hoping so I think Marie is a
good rotational type cornerback
465
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,400
I don't know if he's a guy that
I want out there for long
466
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,300
stretches of time at cornerback
to so you know and hopefully
467
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:53,200
that room can stay healthy
because I feel like there's some
468
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,200
potential in that room.
I think you got some players
469
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,500
there.
We just need to make sure that
470
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:02,300
those front front line.
Two guys, Chapman and strong,
471
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
hold up, and play.
Well and consistent.
472
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:08,100
Absolutely.
All right, last piece we're in
473
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:10,500
about position battles.
We had already talked about ride
474
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:12,300
receiver, four and five and a
half gallon, right?
475
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:15,300
Would be pushing for that and
then he goes down.
476
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:20,700
Jaden blue goes down and it was
a couple guys getting a lot of
477
00:28:20,708 --> 00:28:24,800
compliments and Stephen Gosnell
and Christian Moss had been
478
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,600
stepping up lately.
Again you love to hear it.
479
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,600
The transfer from UNC and they
you know redshirt freshman
480
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,700
getting praise from the Coaches.
And, you know, is it just the
481
00:28:35,700 --> 00:28:38,800
same old coach speak?
Maybe, maybe we don't see them a
482
00:28:38,808 --> 00:28:44,200
game this year.
But again, names are getting
483
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,100
mentioned in that.
Always is a big thing.
484
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:51,600
Yeah, Gosnell Mall stepping up.
You know, we've heard of Keshawn
485
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,000
King is now getting some touches
that slot and flankers.
486
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,600
So that's that's pretty big as
well that we're finally finally
487
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:06,500
Using that actual position
flexibility to our advantage in
488
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:10,400
getting guys, touches and Reps
in practice at places that they
489
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,800
can be a weapon on the field.
So, that's good to hear.
490
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:20,000
And we've heard obviously
there's a lot of Buzz about
491
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,800
Daquan, right?
I know, I'm, I'm singing the
492
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,100
Praises a lot, and I'm going to
keep singing them until I'm
493
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:28,800
born, 18 months with a 14-month
love affair with daikon, right?
494
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,500
And it's until I see something
that tells me otherwise.
495
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:34,900
As I'm going to keep helping
this kid up because nothing I've
496
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:39,200
heard has shaken me off.
What I saw on tape and what I've
497
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,700
seen otherwise, so I'm going to
keep riding it.
498
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:48,800
I think he's a guy that's going
to help us in kind of that joker
499
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,700
tight in position.
And also a guy that could be
500
00:29:51,700 --> 00:29:54,800
doing some of the type of things
that Bucky Hodges did for us,
501
00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:01,300
you know, when he was here out
the gate and then we'll see how
502
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:04,500
he Transitions into that that
full-time tight enroll as his
503
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:07,300
career goes along.
But He's got potential to do
504
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,900
some tight end duties, some wide
receiver duties in year one.
505
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:15,700
And I think he's going to be a
guy that right out the gate is
506
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:17,900
going to be playing
significance.
507
00:30:17,900 --> 00:30:19,900
Nets for us on the offense in
your one.
508
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,700
I think I think you're right
especially with some folks
509
00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:27,000
getting hurt and obviously the
way you have seen Tyler Boeing
510
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,700
used tight ends.
I think it's very likely that he
511
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:33,400
he doesn't, he plays me.
Before and he gets that shirt
512
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,300
burned.
Let's talk about this.
513
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:41,600
Kind of last piece of current
going on with the tech team or
514
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,300
something related to Tech in
that is the ODU offensive
515
00:30:45,300 --> 00:30:49,100
coordinator.
Dave, had a nude resigned three
516
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:52,000
weeks before the kickoff of the
game.
517
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,500
Dave, Pat nude had previously
last three seasons been down at
518
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:02,500
Georgia, Tech with Jeff Collins.
Obviously we saw Them last year.
519
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:06,100
One down there.
Also, you something I can
520
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:08,900
remember two years ago.
Brian, you talking about Georgia
521
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:12,000
Tech and they were kind of a
power smash offense.
522
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,400
So going down to Ricky Ronnie
that makes sense.
523
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,700
But when you've had the guy,
who's been in the quarterbacks a
524
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:21,600
year, who's been calling the
please who's been designing, and
525
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:27,300
he's gone.
I mean, I'm not complaining but
526
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:35,200
that is a uphill climb even more
for For ODU versus what
527
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,200
seemingly Brent price trying to
get to be an angry Virginia Tech
528
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,400
Team.
Yeah.
529
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,300
I mean now you've got Ricky
Ronnie everywhere.
530
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,700
Essentially three hats at least
in the short term, right?
531
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:50,200
So he's now the head coach.
He's the de facto offensive
532
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,600
coordinator and he's now the de
facto quarterbacks coach, that's
533
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,400
a big fucking deal, right?
You two weeks before three weeks
534
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,100
before the season, whatever it
was when he Uptown and I mean, I
535
00:32:03,108 --> 00:32:05,200
don't want to speculate too much
but I've heard this might have
536
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,100
been a similar to the Oklahoma
situation, but oh, really?
537
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,600
That's the Whispers.
I am hearing it is not a public
538
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,100
situation so I will not
elaborate further.
539
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:20,600
But yeah.
Okay.
540
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:25,800
But it's over to you so it
doesn't get quite the sprout.
541
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:31,700
A lot of Nationals ODU, it's not
going to get the run as it would
542
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:36,400
somewhere else.
So again for us to me, it's even
543
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,200
more.
So for someone like Tyler
544
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,600
bowing, if he's and Brent, it's
Ricky Ronnie's brain.
545
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,500
Now, it's not days.
Brain, its Ricky Ronnie's brain.
546
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:46,500
So that's a big thing.
It's going to be really
547
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:50,400
interesting to see.
How they look?
548
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,500
I'll pensively that night.
All right, let's flip this one
549
00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:57,900
because this is one that sort of
got some people riled up.
550
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:04,300
Yes, the next 10 years.
The out of conference schedule
551
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:07,900
is not pretty even less.
Pretty would be why you going
552
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:14,400
off the schedule.
Just so, if you haven't seen it,
553
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:19,000
David Cunningham, put this out
there back about August 17th.
554
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,200
Next year.
ODU, Purdue at Rutgers at
555
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,800
Marshall.
First of all, a trucker's at
556
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,400
Marshall, we need to quit doing
that.
557
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,700
I know we talked about it.
The panel's got to be stopped
558
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,500
20:24.
Write this one down at
559
00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:35,200
Vanderbilt Marshall at ODU.
Again, we've got to stop it in
560
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,100
Rutgers 2025.
Finally, we get a Chick-fil-A
561
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:42,900
kick off with South Carolina
down in Atlanta van dod, ujm,
562
00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:49,900
you I mean, Arizona Wisconsin's
on the schedule and like 80, I
563
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:59,200
mean, It doesn't start looking
decent again until 2030. 2030
564
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,100
and even then it's not
necessarily blowing your skirt
565
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:06,500
up.
It's just hey, it's good enough,
566
00:34:06,700 --> 00:34:08,699
it's good enough.
What's the point that you've
567
00:34:08,699 --> 00:34:11,800
made?
Several times big guy, why did
568
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,900
we get such big games in the
2002 2010's?
569
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:18,500
Why are we getting Ohio State?
Why are we getting Alabama?
570
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:22,500
Why are we getting USC?
It's that whole well, there are
571
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:26,500
top 20 team.
So if we lose to them, it's not
572
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:30,100
the end of the world.
If we beat them it's a resume
573
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:37,500
checkmark for us and and what's
happened really since 2012 and
574
00:34:37,500 --> 00:34:43,199
over the last 10 years, we've
had to really yet.
575
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:45,600
We are getting close map to next
Friday.
576
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:49,100
Yes, yes, it's getting there.
We've had.
577
00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:53,800
One really good season to okay
Seasons.
578
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:56,900
Bunch of mediocre season to ship
seasons.
579
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,900
And your big teams do not want
to play you.
580
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:03,800
When that is your track record,
you have to start lower and
581
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,500
that's where we are.
Right now, we are bad enough.
582
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:12,200
We're beating us doesn't help
them and we're not, we're just
583
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,100
good enough.
We're losing to us, hurts them
584
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:16,700
pretty bad.
Exactly.
585
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,600
There's a risk to losing to us.
So that's why no one wants to
586
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,000
play there.
We're just risky enough, where
587
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,900
it's a, it's a, it's a bad loss
and we're, we're not helping
588
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:29,600
them.
If they go come down here and
589
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,900
waxes.
So more bodies nobody wants to
590
00:35:33,908 --> 00:35:39,700
place right now, exactly more of
this Story is win more games and
591
00:35:39,700 --> 00:35:43,100
you become more attractive.
When you win more games, you get
592
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:45,100
to tell Marshall 02, you know,
we're never coming to your
593
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:46,900
place, you will always come
here.
594
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,600
You always drive here.
We're never coming to your
595
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,700
place.
Yeah, I'm kind of sick of the
596
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:57,100
driving at ODU and driving to
Lynchburg, like we grew up in
597
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:59,000
our from Lynchburg, we go to
fucking Lynchburg, and I don't
598
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:05,700
want to, I want to play the
fucking game, they're all right.
599
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,000
All right, so obviously end of
last week.
600
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,500
Brian, the Big Ten multi Network
deal.
601
00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:18,900
Rolls out seven billion over
seven years with an option to go
602
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:22,300
up to 10 depending on if they
add additional teams, I'm sure
603
00:36:22,300 --> 00:36:24,500
there's some contract language
in there about what additional
604
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:28,200
teams, they would need to add to
get to that 10 million roughly.
605
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,800
You do the math.
It's a billion dollars a year
606
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,600
with the 16 Team league.
It's roughly probably right
607
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,100
about 70 million.
And then obviously on top of
608
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,400
some other Deals.
They have you're looking at
609
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,900
probably close to 80 to 90
million per team.
610
00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:46,200
The most interesting piece is
ESPN is shut out completely.
611
00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:48,600
Right.
Yep.
612
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,100
And they're going to be having a
big game at 12.
613
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:56,100
A big game at 3:30 on CBS in a
big night game on NBC.
614
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Can we be one of the teams that
you know, gets added to this?
615
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:10,200
Because that is a ton of money
and in reality, I think what's
616
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,900
going to happen quickly and
you're going to see it, you're
617
00:37:13,900 --> 00:37:18,000
going to have basically.
Five teams are going to get
618
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,900
those slots consistently.
It's going to be Ohio State.
619
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:24,100
It's going to be Michigan.
It's going to be Penn State.
620
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:26,800
It's going to be Wisconsin.
And then maybe you can say six
621
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:32,900
with At Michigan State, that's
it Rutgers, Rutgers, Maryland
622
00:37:32,900 --> 00:37:37,400
will never be on the 330, it CBS
or the moon, or the 7:30 night
623
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,000
game, they will be moved to
Peacock or Big Ten Network.
624
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:46,200
They're getting flexed out.
Did the did the size of the deal
625
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,800
and then how it broke down shock
you in any way.
626
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:52,900
I'd say how it broke down,
didn't shock me as much as the
627
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:55,100
size.
I think the size is I think a
628
00:37:55,107 --> 00:37:58,400
little bit more than what we
thought was going to be coming.
629
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:05,700
Good for them and I think, you
know, obviously adding the
630
00:38:05,700 --> 00:38:10,200
team's they're adding is only
helping that it's helping their
631
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:17,400
negotiation on that side of
things. but, I think how it's
632
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,500
structured is good for them.
And I think they kind of made
633
00:38:20,500 --> 00:38:27,100
the play of Hey, this could lure
Notre Dame, this could lure.
634
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:29,000
Some of the other Pac-12
markets.
635
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,700
If we decide to go higher, go
go, you know aim towards 20s?
636
00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:37,300
I think they're looking.
I think they're looking a little
637
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:44,500
bit forward in this deal as well
but I think at the same time I
638
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:48,000
don't think anything in this
deal is moving the needle for
639
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,400
Notre Dame.
And I think that's, that's
640
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,900
still, that's still the biggest
domino to fall before.
641
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:57,900
I think some bigger things start
happening, long term.
642
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:01,600
Yeah.
You know, big things right now
643
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,900
is, you know, I was told you to
Dad conversation, it's looking
644
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:08,200
like, more or less for the ACC
to break up, you're looking at
645
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,000
75%, there's not 75 percent of
teens who's going to get offered
646
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,400
elsewhere.
So, it's a pipe dream for the
647
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,600
ACC to disband and for
potentially land in the SEC or
648
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,000
potentially, the Big Ten.
And let's grant of rights are
649
00:39:22,008 --> 00:39:25,400
broken or there's some other
Other factors that come into
650
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:30,400
play, but in that thing, there's
going to have to be a legal
651
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,200
challenge first.
If there's a legal challenge,
652
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,800
then all bets are off especially
if that legal challenges is
653
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:40,600
successful, but I think barring
a legal challenge for good or
654
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,800
ill.
We're riding with the ACC for a
655
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,500
while.
Yeah, only upside now is, and
656
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:52,300
you mentioned this, a few weeks
ago, ESPN had money set aside
657
00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:57,200
for this, right?
Yeah, how much can the ACC get
658
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,400
out of it?
How much additional can they get
659
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,400
out of it to basically go from
38 million?
660
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:08,500
I think it will 36.7 this year
to that 45 50 million where
661
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:12,000
you're still behind, but you're
not as far behind.
662
00:40:13,700 --> 00:40:15,300
So how much can they get out of
it?
663
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:18,500
Or does ESPN take the money and
put it back somewhere else?
664
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:21,200
And obviously SEC is going to
get more in a few years.
665
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,500
But can the ACC or the Big 12
Pride additional money out of
666
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:31,800
ESPN because now, ACC is going
to probably get better slots.
667
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,700
Right between could at least
work and more consistent slots.
668
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:39,700
Yeah, we're consistent slot
because you've always got ABC
669
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:44,000
ESPN ESPN2, then you get into
the SP and you and then the
670
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,500
Network's themselves.
So, is it something where, you
671
00:40:48,508 --> 00:40:52,600
know, the ABCs get an ABC game
versus the ESPN2 game of the
672
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:57,600
ACC, networking plenty games to
go around for all for all
673
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:58,800
parties involved.
You know?
674
00:40:58,900 --> 00:41:02,300
Sixteen fourteen teams roughly,
that's seven games a week.
675
00:41:02,300 --> 00:41:07,700
So hopefully, Just better, slots
showing increased viewers, but
676
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:09,500
we'll see.
I think the problem we're
677
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:11,400
seeing.
I think in, I mean, I looked at
678
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,200
some of the, the numbers in
terms of like most-watched,
679
00:41:17,100 --> 00:41:19,200
Teams with the with the, with
the highest ratings.
680
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,900
Virginia Tech got hurt a lot
last year with ACC fucking
681
00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:25,300
Network.
Fuck them.
682
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:29,700
Fuck you put you put definitely
the biggest game of the two
683
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:34,300
biggest games of the year on
there by putting Notre Dame and
684
00:41:34,300 --> 00:41:37,500
putting my any another.
That's the thing we're trying to
685
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:41,200
lure people in but when you're
not getting Nielsen ratings,
686
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,700
where you can say, Hey, listen,
we played Notre Dame like that
687
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:46,200
ABC game a few years ago, I
think it was like 4.1.
688
00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:50,700
One are pretty good number for a
Saturday night game, and now
689
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:55,000
you're putting that game on the
SEC network that doesn't get
690
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,700
rated.
So, you don't know how many
691
00:41:56,700 --> 00:41:58,500
people are actually doing that
game.
692
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:03,300
That's where, you know, if
you're, if you're Jim Phillips,
693
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:06,100
the one thing you better be
slinging is saying you're going
694
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:09,200
to put our crap games on there.
You're not putting FSU on there,
695
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,000
you're not putting Clemson.
You're not putting Miami, not
696
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,300
putting Tech.
You're not putting Carolina,
697
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:15,500
you're not putting state.
You put waking pit on there.
698
00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:20,100
The you don't put the teams that
draw eyes to our conference.
699
00:42:22,300 --> 00:42:23,900
That's--yeah that's-- and
that's--.
700
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:25,200
That's the rate.
They're right.
701
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,700
That mean, and I agree 100% with
Curtis on that getting us on a
702
00:42:29,707 --> 00:42:31,600
sec Network.
Especially those Marquee games
703
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,500
that are going to draw eyes.
You know, we were still dealing
704
00:42:35,500 --> 00:42:40,500
with situation where so many in
the primary Market didn't have
705
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:42,500
her in terms of coverage, didn't
have it.
706
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:50,000
It is, there are so many TVs in
the state of Virginia in parts
707
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,400
of Maryland that are Atlantic
jority, majority Comcast homes.
708
00:42:56,100 --> 00:42:59,300
Well, basically thing about this
it's really Pennsylvania down in
709
00:42:59,308 --> 00:43:02,700
the South Carolina I've got
family in South Carolina.
710
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:06,300
They have Comcast.
So, I mean, North Carolina is
711
00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:10,000
chartered Charter primarily but
I mean, yeah, once you get back
712
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,700
into South Carolina, Xfinity
picks back in there.
713
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:14,900
So big, big, big Morgan, this
type.
714
00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:18,900
So we'll get a just stop that or
I can go for trust me.
715
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:21,700
Y'all don't get to hear the Rams
beforehand when Brian.
716
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:24,200
These are the these are the
filter drancy.
717
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,700
The are ones that have been, you
know, we've trimmed them down.
718
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:32,600
We focused on well, over the
last Last few weeks Brian.
719
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,900
We did not talk about this last
week because we had such a two
720
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:40,100
weeks ago, we had our panel on
but hope he's got another commit
721
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:44,300
Hokies currently.
Sending 36 composite 33, 24/7,
722
00:43:44,700 --> 00:43:50,700
young man out of Ontario,
Canada, Ishmael Finn later, 64
723
00:43:50,700 --> 00:43:57,000
230, low 3, star has kind of
some views from Arizona state
724
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,100
with Central Michigan, Have you
had a chance where there any
725
00:44:01,100 --> 00:44:03,700
tape out there on this guy from
Canada?
726
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,700
Yeah, there's there's some tape
out there and I mean you know,
727
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:13,100
I'm not trying to sell a false
bill of goods here but the tape
728
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:18,400
is better than the ranking but
it's still not a needle mover if
729
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,700
that makes sense.
He's an 82.
730
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,200
He said I'm going to hit him.
I'd say if I was going 24/7 I'd
731
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,300
be like 83-84.
I mean solid but But
732
00:44:29,300 --> 00:44:34,500
unspectacular, but I think the
size and and things is what
733
00:44:34,500 --> 00:44:37,800
standing out, and I think that's
the thing that could be molded
734
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,600
into something better down the
road, but this is definitely a
735
00:44:40,607 --> 00:44:43,500
developmental type player.
It's not somebody that's going
736
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:47,500
to jump off the page or move any
needle in terms of recruiting
737
00:44:47,500 --> 00:44:51,400
perception, 64 230.
You can't, you know, that's that
738
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,500
is a great body for a defensive
end.
739
00:44:54,300 --> 00:44:57,100
And I felt like he camped with
us.
740
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,600
Let me see.
I feel like he camped with us
741
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:07,600
and they probably measure the
variables somewhere.
742
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,700
I'm pretty.
I think he did camp, and they
743
00:45:09,700 --> 00:45:13,500
did say his measurables were
verified select like legit, and
744
00:45:13,500 --> 00:45:16,700
that's probably why they offered
him later as we're getting into
745
00:45:16,700 --> 00:45:18,600
this cycle.
You know, we've got currently
746
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,600
18, I think we get a lot more.
They showed the senior picture,
747
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:26,200
and I think I counted 48 guys on
scholarship seniors, this year,
748
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,000
I think we're targeting 26.
He seven guys, this year.
749
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,600
So thing quite a number.
Yeah, I think that number and
750
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,600
you kind of leave yourself a
little wiggle room for a
751
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,200
potential transfer.
If a couple more guys, transfer
752
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,900
out larger transfer classes.
So again, got one more guy there
753
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:44,100
in the boat, good to hear that.
All right.
754
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:48,000
So before we get into our main
topic of giving y'all are
755
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,500
predictions for this season, we
are going to take a quick pause

765
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:18,900
Now back to the episode All
right, so we did this last year.
766
00:46:18,900 --> 00:46:22,800
It's a lot of fun to do fun
exercise.
767
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,200
Everybody out there and we've
already had a couple people put
768
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,400
their records up for the year.
Feel free to chime in will show
769
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,700
them at the end, but we are
going to go game by game records
770
00:46:34,900 --> 00:46:40,300
for this season.
Now, there is a disclaimer These
771
00:46:40,300 --> 00:46:46,200
are our ceilings.
Okay, this is our ceilings And
772
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,400
we want to put that out there in
case someone so y'all.
773
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,300
So they wouldn't engage.
Oh that's our ceiling.
774
00:46:50,300 --> 00:46:54,000
That's we're basically saying
nobody gets hurt Malachi Thomas
775
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,600
is their game 1.
Kalaallisut is their game 1 and
776
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,200
we have the most unbelievable.
Football, season injury-wise in
777
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,700
the history of football.
And a couple things.
778
00:47:04,700 --> 00:47:07,900
Bounce our way and key games.
There you go.
779
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:11,600
So, no further.
Again, we're going to get into a
780
00:47:11,607 --> 00:47:14,200
lot more detail.
With last week, we've been
781
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,800
reading and studying and prize
been looking at some tape
782
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,500
already, but let's start with
ODU, Brian.
783
00:47:20,500 --> 00:47:24,500
What do you say there?
For me, this is Virginia Tech
784
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:28,300
all the way.
I know I said it on the panel, I
785
00:47:28,300 --> 00:47:31,000
think we need to go out there
and crush them make this a over
786
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:36,600
by halftime situation.
I think this is our chance to
787
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:42,700
send a message that this team is
not only better than what a lot
788
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:44,600
of folks out there thinking they
are.
789
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:49,000
But sending a message in terms
of the state, this is our state
790
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,000
again.
We should even be in Norfolk for
791
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,700
this fucking game, but since we
made the trip, we're going to
792
00:47:57,700 --> 00:47:59,300
get an ass whoopin while we're
down there.
793
00:47:59,700 --> 00:48:02,300
Yeah, but before we head home,
we're going to get one in before
794
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:04,800
you head home.
And I'm me Broader lockstep with
795
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,600
this one.
I am fully Virginia Tech on this
796
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,200
one.
They need to make the statement.
797
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,200
They need to make, and I set it
on a pan, I'll say it again.
798
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,300
They need to make that
Hundred-Foot walk back to ODU
799
00:48:16,300 --> 00:48:19,100
locker room.
The most miserable walk of those
800
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:23,800
kids lives and that they never
want to see maroon and orange
801
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,300
come back to that field.
Again, to the point where the
802
00:48:26,300 --> 00:48:30,500
Ada has to cancel the series.
And I think there's some guys on
803
00:48:30,500 --> 00:48:36,300
this team from going from 20.
From 2018 who played going down
804
00:48:36,300 --> 00:48:38,300
there, probably with a bitter
taste in their mouth.
805
00:48:38,300 --> 00:48:41,300
So I really like that.
So I'm definitely going to be
806
00:48:41,300 --> 00:48:43,800
going VT.
Takes one out the gate.
807
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,300
We will be previewing this game
next week.
808
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:52,700
Alright, Bronn first home game
for Brent Pride night game.
809
00:48:52,700 --> 00:48:57,100
Unfortunately, on the ACC
Network, I get the ACC Network.
810
00:48:57,100 --> 00:49:01,500
Luckily, yeah, you throw your
hands up its PC so it's not the
811
00:49:01,500 --> 00:49:05,000
big one although that game last.
last year Friday pulled almost 2
812
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:10,200
billion people on a frickin
Friday night in mid-october so
813
00:49:11,300 --> 00:49:15,100
maybe it should be moved to a
different network and maybe it
814
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:20,000
will but that stuff pretty said
but anyway This is one of those
815
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,900
tougher ones in.
As I was going through it, they
816
00:49:23,900 --> 00:49:27,000
got Djokovic going back half Li
second year.
817
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:31,500
They lost a lot of Their Own
Line, but I'm sitting here and
818
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:35,400
just thinking of that atmosphere
that's going to be there in lane
819
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,400
and I know you will be there.
Bought us tickets this week did
820
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,000
calendar cleared out, so mr.
Siegel will definitely be there,
821
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,200
but the, the atmosphere the
electricity in the air a night
822
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,500
game, which means people are
going to be getting out to the
823
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:54,400
parking, lots 7:00 8:00 in the
morning.
824
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,900
Going all day.
I think taking when this will
825
00:49:58,900 --> 00:50:01,200
comfortably, when I say
comfortably, I'm talking to
826
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,700
scores at the end, something,
when I get there, I'll say it,
827
00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:09,600
but I think Tech wins this one
comfortably but not so
828
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,500
comfortable.
We're not like saying in the
829
00:50:11,508 --> 00:50:13,900
fourth quarter, put two more
touchdowns on it because I don't
830
00:50:13,900 --> 00:50:18,300
want anything stupid to happen.
Yeah, I'm not feeling quite as
831
00:50:18,300 --> 00:50:21,600
comfortable as you are about
this in terms of the Gap in the
832
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,600
score, but I definitely think we
can pull this one out.
833
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:28,300
My thing is, is that that
Offensive line is banged up,
834
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:32,900
it's still early in the season,
they lost a lot of players from
835
00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:36,500
last year's team.
I think this attacking Brent
836
00:50:36,500 --> 00:50:41,400
Pride defense will get after
jerkin Vic early and I think
837
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,400
that's the difference.
It was the difference when we
838
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,900
played in 2020.
Yep.
839
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:49,200
When we forced a bunch of
turnovers early, absolute going
840
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,100
to be something similar.
I don't know if we'll get quite
841
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:54,200
the bounces from those turnovers
that we got then, but I think we
842
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,300
put enough pressure on them
early where we hold on for it
843
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,100
abso-freakin'-lutely.
Alright, Braun.
844
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:11,100
We just say this one, the
Whopper game Virginia Tech and
845
00:51:11,100 --> 00:51:16,900
in the words of Don, be 50
Burger, 50 smash them crush
846
00:51:16,900 --> 00:51:18,200
them.
I won't 60.
847
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:22,200
I will, I won't, you know what,
Frank Beamer always kind of a
848
00:51:22,207 --> 00:51:23,700
nice guy.
Wouldn't run up the score.
849
00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:27,500
I hope Britt prai has a little
more but in him and it's like,
850
00:51:27,500 --> 00:51:29,400
56.
Nothing in the third quarter,
851
00:51:29,900 --> 00:51:33,600
I'm trying to get to 70.
I want a squirrel stop these
852
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,700
guys.
I'll pull my starters but I'm
853
00:51:37,700 --> 00:51:40,200
still running my offense.
Exactly.
854
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,400
I am trying to continue, I'll
pull my starters but I'm still
855
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,800
sending six on third down and
long.
856
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,800
So let's do a check-in 3 and 0
through the first three games,
857
00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:54,300
where we optimistic.
Well, it's pretty seasoned if
858
00:51:54,300 --> 00:51:58,100
you're not optimistic, that's
the rough fan life you have
859
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:00,600
there, got to be a bitch or
something.
860
00:52:00,900 --> 00:52:04,800
All right, so big one, Thursday
night, Right.
861
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,800
Blacksburg West Virginia, Black
Diamond Trophy and I think
862
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,900
someone said it's like going to
be the 30th or maybe the 25th
863
00:52:13,900 --> 00:52:15,800
anniversary.
It's going to be an anniversary
864
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,600
of the first Thursday night
game.
865
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,300
Virginia Tech ever hosted so
big, you're already people are
866
00:52:21,300 --> 00:52:27,600
already talking about going in
taking a full weekend that the
867
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,300
BC game was electric, this one's
going to get downright obnoxious
868
00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:35,700
and insane because I always go
back.
869
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:41,200
Go find it was it 2,000?
The Andre Davis three touchdown
870
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,200
game, three different ways in
the Wayne board block.
871
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,300
Jesus, I think they seriously
have a chance to get Fowler on
872
00:52:49,300 --> 00:52:53,700
this one and with West Virginia,
in their back in being so bad,
873
00:52:53,700 --> 00:52:55,100
and I know we're going to look
more in detail.
874
00:52:55,100 --> 00:52:58,800
A lot of these games and
learning a new offense and going
875
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:04,500
to sort of to a true are a and
they're going to be four games
876
00:53:04,500 --> 00:53:08,600
in only three games in.
I'm going to say we take the
877
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:13,700
diamond trophy back here Braun.
I'm actually with you and I'm
878
00:53:13,700 --> 00:53:16,200
basing it on a few things.
I'm basing it on the The fact
879
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:20,600
that, you know, we were this
damn close literally to taking
880
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,300
it back at their house last
year, like, four times that
881
00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:28,800
close one time for ya and ya.
I know they got JT Daniel, but
882
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,400
they haven't named a starter
yet.
883
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,400
This is pretty late.
I don't know if they're playing
884
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:37,200
games with ship with pit on this
or what they're doing at games
885
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,800
at nine days, they better.
But they have they have not been
886
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:45,000
able to starter yet, so if if
that's for real reasons and not
887
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,700
for gamesmanship, Ship.
That's got to be concerning
888
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:50,000
because I think they were
leaning pretty heavy on Daniels
889
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,800
being the guy.
So if he's not actually went out
890
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,900
there and won that job, that's
got to be concerning.
891
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,300
And then you just couple that
with what they lost in the
892
00:54:00,300 --> 00:54:02,300
secondary and the transfer
portal.
893
00:54:03,100 --> 00:54:05,300
I think there's a lot of
opportunities to score more
894
00:54:05,300 --> 00:54:08,500
points this year, on them.
Yeah, and I think if we can do
895
00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:11,800
that, I don't have any
confidence that they're going to
896
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,200
be significantly better on
offense.
897
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,700
Nah, so I think I think we're
able to pull it out.
898
00:54:17,700 --> 00:54:19,400
We're at home.
It's a night game.
899
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,900
It's in Lane.
It's that attersee here.
900
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,800
It's Thursday.
I think there's just there's too
901
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,700
much.
I think lining up against them
902
00:54:27,700 --> 00:54:31,700
both historically and on the
field that I think we can pull
903
00:54:31,700 --> 00:54:34,600
that one out with you.
All right, Brian.
904
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:40,700
So next game again, this is kind
of big Meaning of The Gauntlet
905
00:54:40,700 --> 00:54:44,800
with West, Virginia, game,
travel down to North Carolina.
906
00:54:44,900 --> 00:54:48,300
The next Saturday, what are you
feeling on this one?
907
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,700
This one I've got, I've got UNC
pulling it out.
908
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,900
I know they've got a lot of
question marks at quarterback.
909
00:54:57,900 --> 00:55:02,300
They just named their starter
May is took that job correctly.
910
00:55:02,300 --> 00:55:05,000
Yeah.
I think that's, that's probably
911
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,500
what we expected heading into
the season.
912
00:55:07,500 --> 00:55:10,000
I think he was kind of I think
the guy that was going to be the
913
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:14,300
next man up he's one that job I
think I mean he's a quality
914
00:55:14,300 --> 00:55:20,000
player kind of a bid for Star
type Talent you know I think
915
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,300
they get things going a little
bit better on offense.
916
00:55:22,300 --> 00:55:26,800
I think they're improved enough.
On defense.
917
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:32,600
And we're not playing in
Blacksburg on opening night with
918
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,700
that atmosphere.
So I think you don't get the
919
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:38,700
Boost that we saw last year from
that.
920
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,400
So I think they add you doubt.
I think it's a close one.
921
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,800
I hate picking UNC.
I don't think.
922
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:50,900
I think anybody that's listen to
me on this show understands my
923
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:59,100
level of hatred for UNC so but
There's enough factors there
924
00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:02,000
that are unknown for us and
enough factors for them that
925
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,000
work in their favor.
It's hard for me to in good
926
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,900
conscience, not pick them.
So, that's where I'm at.
927
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,500
Well, whether it's bad,
conscience, maroon glasses,
928
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:13,600
whatever.
I'm picking Tech in this game.
929
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,400
And I think it is because of
Drake May being a first year
930
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,200
stronger.
Yep, that'll be his fourth game.
931
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,600
But right now they're getting
into true, freshman is running
932
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,700
backs.
No one has really come out.
933
00:56:25,700 --> 00:56:28,100
Other than Josh Downs.
At the receiver room.
934
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,000
The offensive line has continued
to have struggles.
935
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,700
The defense at game that we
always talked about it.
936
00:56:34,700 --> 00:56:37,700
I can remember being on here
almost a year ago talking about
937
00:56:37,700 --> 00:56:39,800
if we just had some decent
frickin offensive play calls.
938
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,500
We could have hung over 30 on
that defense last year without
939
00:56:42,500 --> 00:56:45,900
breathing and I don't think
they're going to take that big
940
00:56:45,900 --> 00:56:49,200
of a step under chizik.
I think they are what they are.
941
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:54,700
And when you're going from that,
245 to a base for three Lot of
942
00:56:54,700 --> 00:56:56,400
Things Different.
You talk about guys putting
943
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,800
their hands in the dirt not as
confusing schemes.
944
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,700
So I think that's where we go
and I think take pulls this one
945
00:57:02,700 --> 00:57:06,900
out and I think it's going to
probably be because of a Young
946
00:57:06,900 --> 00:57:09,900
quarterback.
Probably truly facing his first
947
00:57:11,700 --> 00:57:16,100
defense that is going to just
attack and attack and attack and
948
00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:20,500
not pull anything back you know
because you know let's take a
949
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:25,500
Look real quick just so I can
feel better about myself.
950
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,500
They've got Notre Dame the week
before.
951
00:57:32,300 --> 00:57:37,600
Then they had its their FAMU
Appalachian State, which they
952
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,400
could be, that they could lose
that game.
953
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,500
And they can lose to towards.
They could come in one and
954
00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:45,300
three.
And I think if you do that to a
955
00:57:45,300 --> 00:57:48,500
Young quarterback, it will be
shattered and then have a
956
00:57:48,500 --> 00:57:52,600
defense is ready to feast and
let's just go history.
957
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,200
They're foreign, what's four and
14?
958
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,600
Since they've started playing
this every year since 2004.
959
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:06,200
Yeah, I'd we are historically
very good against them, all
960
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:07,800
right.
Even in the evening down years,
961
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,700
we play UNC.
Well, we do.
962
00:58:11,100 --> 00:58:14,000
And if we just started the right
quarterback in 2020, we had to
963
00:58:14,008 --> 00:58:16,800
beat them then to.
Yes, we would have, yes, we
964
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,200
would have in that shootout.
All right.
965
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,700
So I'm at 5 and 0 and you're at
four and one, am I going to do
966
00:58:21,700 --> 00:58:25,500
something stupid?
He's on the stupid here.
967
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:32,300
Are you tell me?
All right, so the next game is
968
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:35,000
at wonderful.
What used to be called Heinz
969
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:40,500
Field in the 8,000.
People that occupy it for the
970
00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:45,300
worst home atmosphere.
Oh, am I being real?
971
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,600
The worst home atmosphere?
Yeah, it's awful college sports,
972
00:58:50,100 --> 00:58:55,000
the Pitt Panthers, And for the
first time I do pick against our
973
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,600
Hokies, I think 80 atmosphere is
one thing.
974
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,600
If you're going into a hostile
environment and Carolina can get
975
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,200
a little loud, it's louder and
petal ever be.
976
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,300
You can get up a little bit so
it's going to, you're going to
977
00:59:09,300 --> 00:59:11,200
go there, it's not going to be
laughs.
978
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,600
I'm gonna be raucous and they
have just a really good
979
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,500
defensive line and I think with
the questions we have on our
980
00:59:17,500 --> 00:59:20,900
offensive line, at this point
we're five games in, you
981
00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:23,300
probably got some Nicks and
bumps maybe some backups
982
00:59:23,300 --> 00:59:27,200
playing.
I do think this one write this
983
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:31,800
down and I'll hope I'm hoping my
prediction is when we get there
984
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,900
exactly like it.
I think it's going to be an
985
00:59:33,900 --> 00:59:37,100
ugly.
Absolute Freaking this fight.
986
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:38,800
It's not gonna be a bunch of
guns.
987
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,000
It's going to be a fist fight in
the trenches, and it's going to
988
00:59:41,008 --> 00:59:44,900
get ugly.
And I do think the Hokies will
989
00:59:44,900 --> 00:59:49,900
hang, but I just think that
defense will get us in the end.
990
00:59:51,300 --> 00:59:53,800
Yeah, I mean whether aside I
think it's going to be almost
991
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,600
like an opposite of what we saw
when we were at that at Budds
992
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,000
last game in 2019, it's going to
be kind of that that tight
993
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:07,300
asshole game ball and I think,
unfortunately because the pitch
994
01:00:07,300 --> 01:00:11,500
trenches, they are more
experienced in the trenches than
995
01:00:11,500 --> 01:00:13,800
we are, especially on the
defensive line.
996
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:19,400
Think they've got enough on the
back end, to keep us honest and
997
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,800
I think they're going to end up
pulling the wind there, but I
998
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,500
don't, I don't think they're
going to run away with it.
999
01:00:23,500 --> 01:00:26,300
This isn't going to be those
ugly pit.
1000
01:00:26,300 --> 01:00:30,800
Blowouts that we've seen in
recent memory last year and back
1001
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,700
in 1828, seven.
And what 56:23 something like
1002
01:00:34,700 --> 01:00:37,000
that.
Yeah I think this is going to be
1003
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,900
a lot more of a truth back
street brawl.
1004
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:46,500
All right, let's flip next run.
We've got Miami coming into
1005
01:00:46,500 --> 01:00:49,500
town.
It's going to be a crisp October
1006
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:53,700
day mid-october.
Miami.
1007
01:00:53,700 --> 01:00:55,300
Highly ranked most people
picking them, the wind, the
1008
01:00:55,300 --> 01:00:58,500
coastal Van Dyke, getting a ton
of Love.
1009
01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:01,200
Crystal ball, getting a tunnel
of their recruiting flying off.
1010
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,200
Looks like they're about to get
a new state in which I really
1011
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,600
hope they do put a stadium
closer to where the campus is
1012
01:01:07,100 --> 01:01:09,800
the Orange Bowl.
We've talked with divide big
1013
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,600
man, loved playing their love
beating them there.
1014
01:01:13,500 --> 01:01:16,500
I hope they get something that's
similar to that because that had
1015
01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:18,400
a great atmosphere.
I can remember watching those
1016
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,100
games when we were younger, but
let's flip this one in
1017
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:23,100
Blacksburg.
What do you Say on this one
1018
01:01:23,100 --> 01:01:27,000
brand.
Love is in Blacksburg but I hate
1019
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,100
that.
It's a team that I think finally
1020
01:01:29,100 --> 01:01:34,800
has found the leadership to go
with the recruiting that they've
1021
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:39,600
been doing, you know really I
mean for a long time, right?
1022
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,000
They've always had players.
They've always had dudes.
1023
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,500
I think they finally got the
right combination of Coach.
1024
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:49,200
Again I think this is going to
be the team.
1025
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,800
That's going to be the measuring
stick along with Clemson for
1026
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,300
Virginia Tech success going
forward.
1027
01:01:54,500 --> 01:01:56,800
Forward.
I don't think we win this one,
1028
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,300
but I think this is a game that
if we can kind of stick around
1029
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:05,200
and hang around and make it ugly
and stick there with it, to the
1030
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,100
end, that's going to say,
something about this team and
1031
01:02:08,100 --> 01:02:10,300
kind of put us in a good footing
going forward.
1032
01:02:10,300 --> 01:02:12,900
But I don't think we have the,
the horses to win this one.
1033
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,100
Yeah, and I mentioned on the
panel last, we could, you know,
1034
01:02:17,100 --> 01:02:21,700
with this game if you beat them,
great, I can't see us doing
1035
01:02:21,700 --> 01:02:23,900
that, not right now.
They do have a lot of talent
1036
01:02:23,900 --> 01:02:27,300
like you said.
The crystal ball leadership, a
1037
01:02:27,300 --> 01:02:32,400
good quarterback, they have the
talent there to beat us, but
1038
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:36,100
it's the measuring stick game.
If you get in there and you make
1039
01:02:36,100 --> 01:02:40,300
it a war for four quarters and
even if they beat you, everybody
1040
01:02:40,300 --> 01:02:43,400
looks at you again, right?
Well, this team is supposed to
1041
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,100
be rebuilding and they're
already.
1042
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,700
They're fighting one of the best
in the conference to the end.
1043
01:02:47,700 --> 01:02:51,100
And they're forcing them to
barely get a squeaker on the
1044
01:02:51,107 --> 01:02:53,300
road.
That's what it is to me.
1045
01:02:53,300 --> 01:02:56,600
Miami wins the game.
Game but this is the game that
1046
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:01,500
if you tell me, you know, six
months or four months from now
1047
01:03:01,500 --> 01:03:04,600
we're talking about the game of
the year, it's to me it could be
1048
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,500
this one.
All right.
1049
01:03:07,500 --> 01:03:11,000
So then we get a bye week on the
week of the 22nd.
1050
01:03:11,500 --> 01:03:15,400
And when we get a trip down to
Raleigh on a Thursday night.
1051
01:03:15,700 --> 01:03:19,800
ESPN, another Thursday night
game with NC State.
1052
01:03:21,300 --> 01:03:25,800
I hope people don't hate me for
this, but it's NC State and some
1053
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,900
people like nothing.
Remember of, for always painful
1054
01:03:29,900 --> 01:03:33,500
enough for remember that game
and that we could not get above
1055
01:03:33,500 --> 01:03:36,200
13 points.
I know they had a good defense.
1056
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:41,100
But I think this year they're
just too balanced and so.
1057
01:03:41,100 --> 01:03:44,500
So think about the losses so
far, I have probably the best
1058
01:03:44,500 --> 01:03:46,400
defense.
We're going to play, probably
1059
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,800
the best offense, we're going to
play and probably the best
1060
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:50,700
balanced team.
We're going to play with
1061
01:03:50,700 --> 01:03:52,500
offensive weapons.
Good on defense.
1062
01:03:52,500 --> 01:03:56,500
I think we drop in Sea State.
I don't think this will be a
1063
01:03:56,508 --> 01:03:59,100
measure stick game.
I think it will be a good game.
1064
01:03:59,100 --> 01:04:01,900
Just knowing David orange style
and Brent price style.
1065
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,400
But I think because they are
loaded with a lot of Older
1066
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:07,600
folks.
Good quarterback.
1067
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,000
I think they do get us.
Yeah, I agree with you.
1068
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,100
I think, I think they definitely
take us down.
1069
01:04:13,500 --> 01:04:16,200
I don't think it's a blowout,
but I do think it's one of those
1070
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:20,600
games where NC State probably
handles us, start to finish.
1071
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:25,000
It kind of keeps us at arm's,
length, start to finish, just
1072
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,000
because of their bounds.
Like you said, I think they've
1073
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,900
got a really good defense,
especially in the trenches and
1074
01:04:30,900 --> 01:04:34,700
they have weapons on offense,
especially the guy that's
1075
01:04:34,700 --> 01:04:36,200
pulling the trigger at
quarterback.
1076
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:39,300
I think that's just going to be
a little too much for us to
1077
01:04:39,300 --> 01:04:42,300
overcome.
I think that's a game where if
1078
01:04:42,300 --> 01:04:44,300
we want to have the potential to
win that game.
1079
01:04:44,300 --> 01:04:50,100
We've got a strike early, get
ahead, get a lead and make them
1080
01:04:50,100 --> 01:04:52,600
have to get out of their game
plan.
1081
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:54,700
And I don't think we're able to
do that.
1082
01:04:54,700 --> 01:04:55,800
So I think that's why we're
going to.
1083
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,400
We're going to lose that one.
Yeah, I think with the NC State
1084
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,200
game as not compared to the
Pittsburgh or Miami game.
1085
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:06,400
I think the pit NC State game.
We have to play our best a
1086
01:05:06,408 --> 01:05:09,800
football game.
I think that, you know, can we
1087
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,200
can we beat Miami and pit?
Yeah, I don't think we can.
1088
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,800
I don't think we have to play
our best football games, those
1089
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:18,200
games to pull wins.
NC State's just to balance to
1090
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,400
not be on and every facet.
All right, Braun.
1091
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,400
So you're the four-game losing
streak.
1092
01:05:24,500 --> 01:05:28,500
I'm at a three-game losing
streak and the first week,
1093
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,100
November 5th.
Remember, remember the fifth of
1094
01:05:31,100 --> 01:05:34,200
November Georgia Tech roles in
Tulane Stadium.
1095
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:40,400
What do you think on this one?
I think that they're about to
1096
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,600
look like the cat's V for
Vendetta killed on.
1097
01:05:45,900 --> 01:05:48,600
Yeah, I think Georgia Tech some
get wax this game.
1098
01:05:48,700 --> 01:05:53,600
I think Jeff Collins is going to
already have his pants Ablaze
1099
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,300
from that Hot Seat by this point
in the season and this is going
1100
01:05:57,300 --> 01:06:02,500
to maybe be the one that pushes
them over the edge and we get a
1101
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:06,100
mid-november firing like we had
with with went a last year.
1102
01:06:06,100 --> 01:06:10,000
So Yeah, Ron takes GT.
I'm right there.
1103
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,700
That that place is a train wreck
right now.
1104
01:06:12,700 --> 01:06:17,800
So many guys leaving.
What was it that some of the
1105
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,400
classes from three years ago
aren't even in there too deep?
1106
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,700
That's that's bad.
That's yeah.
1107
01:06:24,700 --> 01:06:28,700
I mean that's bad evaluation and
then development.
1108
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:32,100
They're not developing and add
to that.
1109
01:06:32,100 --> 01:06:35,000
Like at some point.
They, you know, you had that you
1110
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,600
had the height recruiting
classes.
1111
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,500
And now, none of those guys are
playing.
1112
01:06:38,900 --> 01:06:41,500
They're going with the guys that
were playing a Transformer.
1113
01:06:43,100 --> 01:06:47,300
So yeah, I think that's a That's
a big one.
1114
01:06:47,300 --> 01:06:50,700
I think, I think, I think with
you that we smash them, I think
1115
01:06:50,700 --> 01:06:52,300
we smash them.
I think that's an ugly game.
1116
01:06:52,300 --> 01:06:56,200
I think after a losing streak
to, I think we make it.
1117
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,000
We make an example out of them,
and if he's not fired before,
1118
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:03,900
then he will be after that game.
All right, 11:12, the next week,
1119
01:07:03,900 --> 01:07:06,700
we go down to Duke, where I know
there is going to probably be
1120
01:07:06,700 --> 01:07:09,700
anywhere between 20 and 30
orange.
1121
01:07:09,700 --> 01:07:14,500
And maroon fans down there
because it is officially Lane
1122
01:07:14,500 --> 01:07:21,100
Stadium South when it comes to
the games, due to the rebuild.
1123
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:25,900
Do you know, they're essentially
where Georgia Tech's going to be
1124
01:07:25,900 --> 01:07:29,000
next year.
They don't have a lot Elko
1125
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:34,000
slowly trying to build it and
think about the team, I mean, we
1126
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,500
play our best game of the year,
against them last year, six and
1127
01:07:37,500 --> 01:07:40,400
six and blew them out by 30.
It wasn't even a game.
1128
01:07:40,700 --> 01:07:45,000
So I think, you know,
back-to-back wins after a rough
1129
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,000
stretch.
Tech easily takes care of do on
1130
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,100
the road.
Yeah, I agree.
1131
01:07:50,100 --> 01:07:54,300
And I think arguably the roster
is worse this year than it was
1132
01:07:54,300 --> 01:07:57,500
last year.
Even though I think Elko is the
1133
01:07:57,500 --> 01:08:00,500
guy and I think elk is the guy
that will get them at least back
1134
01:08:00,500 --> 01:08:08,300
to respectability these, if not,
you know, the highs that we saw
1135
01:08:08,300 --> 01:08:11,700
during cut Cliffs rain there,
but I think he'll at least get
1136
01:08:11,700 --> 01:08:13,600
them back to respectability, but
this isn't the year.
1137
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,100
He doesn't have the horses.
Like I said, it's a word.
1138
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,600
It's roster top to bottom than
it was last year.
1139
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:21,300
And I think that was that is
Georgia Tech's.
1140
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,800
Not as bad as I was saying what
I'm saying, relative to their
1141
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:29,800
roster.
Yeah, yeah.
1142
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,200
So I think, I think Virginia
Tech handles us when I think
1143
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:36,500
that's good, good back-to-back
wins there to kind of set them
1144
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:39,000
up for that.
Stretch, run in Virginia.
1145
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:44,399
Absolutely two games in.
Virginia, on the 19th of
1146
01:08:44,399 --> 01:08:49,200
November, the Hokies, Travel
down 462 Lynchburg,
1147
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,300
unfortunately, to play the
Liberty Flames.
1148
01:08:51,300 --> 01:08:53,200
There you go.
Put them up.
1149
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,200
Why are we playing this game on
the road?
1150
01:08:55,500 --> 01:08:59,399
I also as much as we're going to
have down at Duke, I think.
1151
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,700
What's the size of that Stadium?
I've watched a couple games,
1152
01:09:03,700 --> 01:09:07,000
they don't sell out.
They might have, I want to say
1153
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,000
it's a 35 or 40 thousand seat
stadium.
1154
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,100
And they might have 15 or 20 in
there.
1155
01:09:11,500 --> 01:09:15,000
I mean it's bigger than ODU, but
not by much, but not by much.
1156
01:09:15,500 --> 01:09:20,800
Alright, I gotta, I gotta effort
this before you go, you go.
1157
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,100
What do you think?
I will go.
1158
01:09:22,100 --> 01:09:28,500
I will go while you're efforting
I hate to say this, but this is
1159
01:09:28,500 --> 01:09:35,700
a seven and five team last year
that lost 75% of their offensive
1160
01:09:35,700 --> 01:09:38,899
production.
I do not care how good Charlie
1161
01:09:38,899 --> 01:09:42,100
Brewer is he is not replacing
that production?
1162
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:46,700
No, he's then, I think and I
think if any pleased that
1163
01:09:46,700 --> 01:09:51,800
November That yeah, that too
Charlie Brooker.
1164
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:56,000
Probably is not making it to
November to even play in this
1165
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,800
game.
But if he does, he's not Malik
1166
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,600
Willis, he does not get it done.
Hokies take care of business in
1167
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,300
Lynchburg and we set up for the
Commonwealth cup.
1168
01:10:06,300 --> 01:10:09,300
The next week.
I'm with you 25,000 seat
1169
01:10:09,300 --> 01:10:10,900
Stadium.
I've seen it a couple times.
1170
01:10:10,900 --> 01:10:13,200
It's probably 15 to 18 thousand
there.
1171
01:10:14,100 --> 01:10:17,100
I have a feeling that will be a
lot of orange and maroon on the
1172
01:10:17,100 --> 01:10:20,000
road as well.
I'm going to pick the Hokies and
1173
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,000
I am hoping as I hope with the
ODU game and I hope with the
1174
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,500
wall for game and is Don be
eloquently put in where I think
1175
01:10:26,500 --> 01:10:32,900
everybody on that panel, agreed
squash them, squash them, squash
1176
01:10:32,900 --> 01:10:37,000
them, make them not want to
break curfew on Saturday night,
1177
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:42,700
at Liberty, foot on the throat.
But on throat, just smash.
1178
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,200
And again Charlie Brooker.
Yeah he played last year.
1179
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,200
He quit on his team.
Charlie Brewer has like ten
1180
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,700
concussions Charlie.
Brew is not making it to
1181
01:10:50,700 --> 01:10:55,700
November and for god sakes I
agree.
1182
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,900
Like if you're if you're a coach
like you were going to send you
1183
01:10:59,900 --> 01:11:02,600
out there knowing if this kid
takes one more bad head, he's
1184
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,800
not going to be able to have
kids or even communicate.
1185
01:11:05,900 --> 01:11:09,800
By the time he's in his mid-30s
You can't have that many
1186
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:13,100
concussions Jesus.
Alright?
1187
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:19,100
So Commonwealth cut Braun.
I am, I'm leaving here and this
1188
01:11:19,100 --> 01:11:24,100
is all I'm going to say in the
last 22 years.
1189
01:11:26,300 --> 01:11:31,200
One team has won. 21 team is 12.
It's mental tech.
1190
01:11:32,500 --> 01:11:36,400
Wins.
I'm right there with you.
1191
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,300
I think I think Ted can pull
this one out.
1192
01:11:38,300 --> 01:11:42,500
I think, when you look at This
offense.
1193
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,900
I think they are still going to
be one-dimensional.
1194
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:52,200
I think they probably have one
of the five best wide receiver
1195
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,400
cores.
And you couple that with their
1196
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:58,200
quarterback, a top-15 passing
offense.
1197
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:05,400
But I don't think that that is
going to equate to enough to
1198
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,700
compensate for their lack of
running game.
1199
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:10,700
It's not going to compensate for
their lack of offensive line,
1200
01:12:10,700 --> 01:12:12,100
death.
Depth and its really gonna
1201
01:12:12,100 --> 01:12:16,000
compensate for their poor
defense, especially the
1202
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,600
secondary.
They still can't get enough pass
1203
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,400
rush to cover that big-ass flaw.
That's going to be the
1204
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:26,200
difference in the game.
Well yeah, I'm and I'm going to
1205
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,700
give a little more insight.
It's the the o-line, they
1206
01:12:29,700 --> 01:12:32,300
literally lost a couple of their
bus offensive linemen.
1207
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,700
They lost some of their best
coaches on the offensive side of
1208
01:12:35,700 --> 01:12:40,800
the ball and as good as Brennan
as good as that core is, he's
1209
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,500
okay.
Shit knocked out a lot this
1210
01:12:42,500 --> 01:12:45,000
year.
And I can already see Brent Pro
1211
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,200
basically, say, I'm gonna
probably send six or seven and
1212
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,100
you're going to have to get rid
of that ball really quick, or
1213
01:12:50,100 --> 01:12:51,200
you're going to get hit even
more.
1214
01:12:52,100 --> 01:12:57,600
And, as bad as that defense was
last year, I don't think it's an
1215
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,000
overnight fix.
I don't think a coach comes in
1216
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:05,100
and hits the magic button and
goes from being 129th to being
1217
01:13:05,100 --> 01:13:09,300
in the 70s where you can be
respectable, it does it work
1218
01:13:09,300 --> 01:13:12,900
like that?
Not Without talent and they are
1219
01:13:12,900 --> 01:13:15,400
deprived of Talent on the
defensive side of the ball.
1220
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,700
So I picked Tech wins this one
as well as I said earlier.
1221
01:13:19,900 --> 01:13:22,100
So Brian, let's tally it up
here.
1222
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:26,600
How many you got what you got?
I'm going to even for ceiling
1223
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:31,300
for the Hokies in 2022.
I'm at 9:00 and 3:00 what a
1224
01:13:31,308 --> 01:13:33,800
shocker.
I'm back at 93 again, as the
1225
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:40,000
ceiling, Nice Shot, not shocked.
Next we get a lesson, I will
1226
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:44,000
always is As much as I love
coaching staff has gone three
1227
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,900
games last year that could
easily turn the right way.
1228
01:13:46,900 --> 01:13:51,100
It would have been 9 and 3 so it
is what it is.
1229
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:55,400
But listen, y'all.
So these are our ceilings, but,
1230
01:13:55,500 --> 01:13:58,000
let's just be very honest.
There is a floor.
1231
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,700
We specially with this team with
the death, and we are not
1232
01:14:01,700 --> 01:14:05,100
foolish and Brian.
I'm going to since we're
1233
01:14:05,100 --> 01:14:07,500
matching on this, I'm gonna let
you make a statement on behalf
1234
01:14:07,500 --> 01:14:09,800
of the boundary Corner podcast
hour.
1235
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,700
Floor for this team because this
is mine as well as Brian's.
1236
01:14:14,700 --> 01:14:16,800
Yeah.
The the floor for this team is
1237
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:20,800
five and seven.
I don't see us going below.
1238
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,800
Five wins.
I think there's just enough.
1239
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:28,500
Winnable games on our schedule
and we don't travel enough to
1240
01:14:28,500 --> 01:14:32,100
really feel like this is an
awful team.
1241
01:14:32,100 --> 01:14:35,000
This is a team that even with
some injuries can just fall off
1242
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,800
the map.
You know, when we talk about the
1243
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:42,100
games that are amenable All on
paper out, the gate you're
1244
01:14:42,100 --> 01:14:45,400
looking at ODU, you're looking
at Wofford, you know, you're
1245
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,600
looking at Duke and Georgia
Tech.
1246
01:14:47,900 --> 01:14:51,500
Liberty is a very winnable game
when you look at games that are
1247
01:14:51,500 --> 01:14:55,300
kind of in that toss-up category
you've got BC, you got West
1248
01:14:55,300 --> 01:15:00,700
Virginia, you got UVA piss you
and see, you can throw pin and
1249
01:15:00,700 --> 01:15:03,000
you would see that conversation
as well.
1250
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:06,300
But I think, in terms of true
toss-ups, I think that those
1251
01:15:06,300 --> 01:15:08,500
those games are still in that
category.
1252
01:15:08,500 --> 01:15:12,400
So you got The roughly seven
games that are either toss-up,
1253
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,600
so you're going to be favored.
I think we at least get five of
1254
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:20,200
those even with some of the
flaws of this team and even with
1255
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:24,200
some things like injuries
impacting this roster as the
1256
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,400
season goes along, that's the
way to sum it up.
1257
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:31,500
Injuries again, if this team
stays clean injury-wise, and
1258
01:15:31,500 --> 01:15:35,700
when I say clean injury-wise, a
guy can miss a week, okay?
1259
01:15:35,700 --> 01:15:37,100
We can, we can live with that
guy.
1260
01:15:37,100 --> 01:15:40,000
Missing a month on certain
aspects.
1261
01:15:40,100 --> 01:15:45,400
We cannot William McCallum out
there orange significant injury,
1262
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:50,700
going eight, and for stealing
947, who that floor of seven.
1263
01:15:50,700 --> 01:15:54,700
I've hoped to get to say that
next year and I get to go like
1264
01:15:54,700 --> 01:15:58,800
ceiling of 10 or 11.
And next year, I'll be maybe a
1265
01:15:58,808 --> 01:16:02,800
little bit more tanked up, but
when you're when you're talking
1266
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:06,100
floor of seven, you're talking
about being confident a team
1267
01:16:06,100 --> 01:16:09,800
number one, winning all of the
matchups, they should win number
1268
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,500
two.
Probably at least splitting the
1269
01:16:11,500 --> 01:16:15,000
toss-ups number 3.
Probably at least punching up in
1270
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:16,500
one game, right?
And one game.
1271
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:17,700
Yep.
I don't know if we're quite
1272
01:16:17,700 --> 01:16:21,200
there yet, but I mean, I
appreciate the optimism at this
1273
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:25,700
point, you know?
I think if you're not optimistic
1274
01:16:25,700 --> 01:16:29,500
in in August, you're not going
to be optimistic at all.
1275
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,600
So, if you're not optimistic in
August here either, let's think
1276
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:38,800
like a temple fan Jets fan Jags
fan.
1277
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:45,400
Who else Texans?
You're a fan of a team where
1278
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:49,400
it's just like, we want a good
draft pick or can just see, I'm
1279
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,400
just watching because I need a
reason, you're a Duke football
1280
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:58,900
fan, I need a reason to drink on
Saturdays and football games on
1281
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,300
and we're losing, it makes me
drink more, I mean that happens.
1282
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:07,800
It happens front, anything
broken in the last hour and 20
1283
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:11,900
minutes, nothing, That's popped
across my timeline buddy.
1284
01:17:11,900 --> 01:17:15,000
I think we're good to to wrap it
on up and all right.
1285

Welcome back to the boundary
Corner podcast with my partner,
2
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:54,200
Brian seagull.
I am Curtis Wilson, welcome to
3
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,000
the new normal brine.
Yes sir.
4
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,300
Yes sir.
Welcome back.
5
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:03,700
It's a Tuesday night.
We're riding Tuesdays at least
6
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:05,900
from here on out to the end of
the season.
7
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,600
We'll see how we pivot from
there but yeah.
8
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,600
So look for us on Tuesday is
going forward.
9
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,200
It's a good Tuesday night
though.
10
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,400
Curtis how you feeling buddy.
It is a Tuesday night little
11
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,600
earlier in the week.
You know, Brian says, watch
12
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,100
first, on Tuesdays.
We may flip it to Monday's for
13
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:26,000
some of the Thursday games just
to get the content out there
14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,500
earlier but I'm feeling good
man.
15
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:35,100
You know it's it's the summer is
winding down in all aspects.
16
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:42,100
Schools essentially is started
here and it's footballs in the
17
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:45,300
air.
Watch several preseason games
18
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:47,100
over the weekend.
Yep.
19
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:53,300
You know, we've had some mostly
fall weather here man, like,
20
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:57,000
especially last week and parts
of this week or looking pretty
21
00:01:57,700 --> 00:01:58,700
nice.
Not, not.
22
00:01:58,700 --> 00:01:59,900
Not that.
Cool.
23
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:03,700
But unseasonable e comfortable.
Yeah, comfortable.
24
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,300
Yeah.
So we're really waiting for the
25
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:10,900
September games that's 102 and
it's just like miserable
26
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:12,900
outside.
Like this is it.
27
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,600
Fun like hot games.
Hard games and football.
28
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,400
Just do not go together.
At least we should we should be
29
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,200
pretty good for for the opener
because it's, you know, 8:00, so
30
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,400
it's a night game but it down at
the beach, you can get a little
31
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,800
humidity, a little breeze off.
So down there who knows what the
32
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:40,400
weather potentially could be.
Let's start, man, we have some
33
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,700
big news that broke last week.
I don't think it shocked any of
34
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:49,600
but a quarterback decision was
made Brian and I don't think it
35
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,400
shocked, anyone Grant Wells, the
Marshall transfer was named
36
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,400
starting quarterback and I kind
of asked you when it happened.
37
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,300
I said why now, why?
Why not later?
38
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:05,800
There's there's a couple reasons
to me.
39
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:10,000
Number one, you want to get last
week of Camp, you want to have
40
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,500
your starter name?
Do you want to kind of get that
41
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:17,000
comfort with the receivers?
Getting those extra reps that
42
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,800
are true, starter will get and
getting those reps with the guys
43
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,200
that he's going to be throwing
to more consistently once the
44
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,900
season starts.
And that's kind of the big thing
45
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:29,900
there and we know he's been
majority working with the ones
46
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:34,000
but as you kind of wind down its
the It's no more like ones.
47
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,100
Get equal reps with twos and
threes and so forth, you're
48
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:40,700
starting to see okay well for
every three or four reps that
49
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:43,500
grants getting you know Jason's
probably only getting one or two
50
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:47,200
and you start getting a little
bit imbalance there which gives
51
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,800
Grant a little bit better
opportunity to get more.
52
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Acclimated with that offense is
still a new offense for him, new
53
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,500
offense for even guys that were
Veterans of the team last year.
54
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,100
So it's important to do that as
you get gear into this week.
55
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,800
Which is you know, my game week
so you have want you close out
56
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,600
fall Camp, you got your starter
name, you roll in the mud game
57
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,500
we can then you get full week
one preparation starting next
58
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,700
week.
Yeah, it's that timing piece and
59
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:18,700
when you explain that to me, it
made sense.
60
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:21,700
Because now so it was named
Wednesday.
61
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:25,400
So we got obviously he got
Friday, he get the scrimmage
62
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,000
where it's probably what
probably 80/20, if not 85/15,
63
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:31,800
where he was probably resting
with the ones.
64
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,900
Sunday, Monday.
Now they're doing a mock game
65
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,300
week likely this week, so it
made sense.
66
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:40,200
Something I'm going to tell you
something.
67
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:43,700
I don't think Brent prize ever.
Going to put Brad Glenn on the
68
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:47,500
podium around Spring ball
because Brad Boone was very
69
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:51,800
blunt in his assessment.
When he said, oh no, no, no, no
70
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:55,600
Wells had a significant gap on
Jason going, and after the
71
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,700
spring, where Brent prowl is a
little more of a they're
72
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:03,700
battling every battle when was
like, And he gave Jason the
73
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:06,800
ultimate compliments that you
know, summer workouts, early
74
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,600
part of fall Camp, Jason was
continuing to push it and got
75
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,100
better but he could never catch
Grant.
76
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,500
So I just thought it was because
that was just brutal honesty.
77
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:21,400
And if if you put him on the mic
and made us, he say that, and
78
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,600
Brent prize to give him the
side, I like no, no, there are
79
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,900
competing, some nobody has lead.
I mean, I appreciate the
80
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:33,000
honesty, I'll be and I
appreciate, I mean, there's
81
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,900
going to be some coach speak
here and there but I appreciate
82
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:37,600
the honesty.
Coming out from coach Glenn
83
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,100
there.
I think that's going to be.
84
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:42,300
I think we kind of saw it right?
When we watch the spring game, I
85
00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:46,900
mean, I know there was some
deficiency with the offensive
86
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:50,200
line that Jason was working with
compared to Grant.
87
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,800
So, you know, there was some
inequality, in terms of the time
88
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,000
they were given the cleanliness
of the pockets, things like
89
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
that.
At, but I think we can see just
90
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,400
with the throws the Christmas
that there was, there was a gap
91
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,200
there and there was going to be
a big gap that that would have
92
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,800
to be closed if Jason was going
to take that starting spot and I
93
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,700
think as a team and as a fan
base, I think we're probably
94
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,600
happy with the way this worked
out, because now you've got the
95
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,500
guy that's going to be your
potential starter for this year
96
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:29,200
next year, and maybe another
year.
97
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,900
Pulling the trigger this this
season.
98
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:37,300
I think that's important.
Long term for this team because
99
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,000
the inconsistency at the
quarterback position has been a
100
00:06:41,008 --> 00:06:43,500
big Bugaboo for the last five
years.
101
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,200
Yeah.
That's been talked about quite a
102
00:06:45,207 --> 00:06:47,600
few places.
I Know, cover 3 pod, they
103
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,800
mentioned one of the hosts are
Tom for nearly mention how much
104
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,300
he liked Grant Wells and about
how the quarterback position had
105
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:56,300
been in flux at tech for so
long.
106
00:06:56,900 --> 00:07:02,600
A couple other things that That
Brad Glenn said was he really
107
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,800
like the command that you know,
Grant has of the offense at all
108
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,400
three levels but especially was
very very keen on talking about
109
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:15,700
that deep ball accuracy, which
you know what he said?
110
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:18,500
You know, normally like to take
two to three shots of quarter
111
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,700
and then he's like but what
Grant it could be more and
112
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:25,800
you're just like counting isn't
that would be 12 if we do more.
113
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,500
Are we saying we're going to
take if he passes 30 times Are
114
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:32,800
going to take half of them down,
fecal it we're getting ready in
115
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,200
12 to 15 shots of game.
I'll take that I'll take that
116
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,900
especially for taking that if
we're able to establish that
117
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:41,400
running game and take most of
those off a play action where
118
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,500
you get a clean pocket and be
able to look look deep with a
119
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:47,200
clean pocket.
Therefore for Glenn.
120
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,600
So for green, I mean, sorry, not
for Coach Lynn preferred Grant.
121
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:53,300
I think that's the big thing,
man.
122
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:57,600
And I think Glenn wants that
clean pocket, but I think it was
123
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,200
the other piece, the other two
levels because I think we've
124
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,600
seen some of the video Grant
Wells.
125
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,900
He does have a really good deep,
all very accurate on it, but
126
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:10,600
understanding now you're at the
P5, not the G5 level, those
127
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,800
short and intermediate throws
are going to be just as
128
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,100
important to move the chains.
We talk about taking Chopsticks
129
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:22,500
great, but if it's second and
10, Ok, We're going to give an
130
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:25,600
easy intermediate throw.
Oh here that's going to get for
131
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,800
26 yards.
So we are set up in good
132
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,400
position that's when I hear
that, that's what I feel.
133
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,799
Like Brad is saying if we take
that shot on first, we feel that
134
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:40,299
Grant can get us with a good
pass in to move the sticks
135
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:43,600
range.
Yeah, and you know, we talked
136
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,600
about it when we had read
ciancia from pits pick six
137
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,300
previews on here, that looking
at last year's offensive metrics
138
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:57,100
You know, we had a lot of big
plays but in the middle of that,
139
00:08:57,300 --> 00:08:59,600
we didn't do a whole lot of in
the past.
140
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,900
Okay.
So if we weren't going for 30
141
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:06,700
yards, plus we probably weren't
moving the ball at all.
142
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:09,600
Nope, and that's something that
I think is going to change with
143
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,900
this new offense and with this
new coaching staff and with
144
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:17,100
Grant Wells pulling the trigger
is that short and intermediate
145
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:21,800
accuracy and routes that attack
the middle of the defense.
146
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:23,900
It's in routes.
Then attack the short
147
00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:27,700
intermediate area is outside,
the hash marks.
148
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,400
I think that's where we're going
to see a little bit of
149
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,100
difference and that's going to
get the quarterback more
150
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:37,300
comfortable with that's going to
make the defense creep up where
151
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:39,300
you can take those shots more
effectively
152
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,500
abso-freakin'-lutely.
Last piece I want to mention
153
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:45,300
about something I noticed here
in the Brad.
154
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,800
Brad Callen interview.
He had talked about with Devin
155
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,400
Farrell Taj Bullock.
He had not been focused on those
156
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,400
guys.
At all.
157
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:54,800
And basically kind of said, when
you're trying to find who you're
158
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,300
starting QB, is, that's my
focus, not not getting in there.
159
00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:04,000
Developing the young guys.
But now he mentioned how with
160
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
this happening, it's almost he
can start focusing figuring out
161
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,100
who's third team, who scout team
and, you know, talked about
162
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:18,600
probably getting to see more of
their reps is the sense I got
163
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,500
from it.
So now I think really, as we get
164
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:27,700
into, you know, for five months
from now, if someone leaves,
165
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:30,100
there's that clear indicator
because Glenn got more of a
166
00:10:30,108 --> 00:10:32,100
chance to actually work with
them to see.
167
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,100
And give his opinion versus
really what's been going on
168
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:39,700
since January.
Yeah.
169
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:42,800
And some of this and my mindset
is that when he's saying that
170
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,400
he's saying that, you know, when
he's out there in practice, you
171
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,400
know, he's obviously paying
attention to those reps, but
172
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,800
what he's not doing, he's not
going back to the tape after
173
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,500
practice and meticulously going
through their, their reps during
174
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:00,200
practice to see.
All right, what's the difference
175
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,800
between him and him?
He's not East on that aspect yet
176
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:06,100
he's focused.
He was focused more on.
177
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:09,500
You know, is it going to be
Grant Wells or Jason Brown and
178
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:13,400
now that he's gotten that he can
devote a little bit more of that
179
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,800
time that last week after the
starter was named this week
180
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,600
during my game week, seeing who?
That that third guy is going to
181
00:11:22,608 --> 00:11:26,000
be working with them to, you
know, kind of get them a little
182
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,100
more up to speed in terms of,
you know, where their
183
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:32,100
deficiencies are in the offense.
So they are a little bit more.
184
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,300
Paired as we head into the
season and then, you know, Tha
185
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:38,700
have that talk with the scout
team guy and say, hey you're
186
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:41,100
going to make us better every
week by giving us a hundred and
187
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:44,100
ten percent against that
defense.
188
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,900
So that's when those
conversations are happening.
189
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:51,600
Abso-freakin'-lutely.
So, quarterback decision made so
190
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,700
less to worry about going into
the ODU game.
191
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:59,200
That Grant Wells is the starter.
I know a lot of people want to
192
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,500
Grant to start because of that
three years you've got to got
193
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:03,200
three years.
Get to learn the system, a lot
194
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,900
better, I let slip it over.
Let's let's go, let's go down a
195
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:10,700
little bit because kind of the
next news kind of sucks few
196
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:13,500
weeks ago.
You know, we had the panel on
197
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:17,000
here and David Cunningham had
been mentioning dalen, right?
198
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,900
Couple times.
Well, if you didn't see,
199
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:21,400
downright posted on his
Instagram.
200
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,900
Few days ago, season-ending
surgery, we do not know what
201
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:27,800
specifically it was from the
look of it.
202
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,000
I'm assuming the lower extremity
injury because the picture was
203
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,200
Him from about his midsection
up, I know.
204
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,000
This is a guy you've been home
with, you know, basketball
205
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,500
player didn't focus on football
and really that, senior season
206
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:47,400
really turned it on.
And obviously, this is this
207
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,700
hurts to death because he was a
guy that was battling probably
208
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:52,900
for fourth or fifth, it's fine.
Yeah.
209
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:55,000
He was definitely kind of a guy
that you were to look at it at
210
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,200
45 position.
They're probably you know five
211
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,900
and he was going to see
significant time this year, the
212
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:07,400
way it was lining up for him.
So that's a big blow for us.
213
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,700
I think that there are some
other guys in that room, that
214
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:12,800
can step up and take on that
role.
215
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,700
But when you have a guy that's
already kind of poised to take
216
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:19,700
that role and you lose him
during fall Camp, that's always
217
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:23,300
a big blow.
So it may take two three weeks
218
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:26,000
into the season.
Before we really have that role
219
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,100
that fifth spot, kind of ironed
out and fleshed out to where we
220
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,300
want it to be.
Absolutely.
221
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,600
Now, another big hit and it was
kind of confirmed with the team
222
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,200
photo will Stewart.
TSL pointed it out, Malachi
223
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,000
Thomas, has the walking boot on
one of his feet there.
224
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:47,300
For Enterprise, been saying he's
week to week.
225
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:51,100
We, I see that.
And I know I've said it to a
226
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,000
couple people.
I'm like, it's got to Hank all
227
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,700
the way they're talking about it
not a me usually a high ankle.
228
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:00,900
It's going to be week to week.
Some guys can take a high ankle
229
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:04,000
get back in three or four weeks
some guys and take six to eight
230
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:07,300
but hat, not having him in the
way it looks.
231
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:09,800
He's not going to be do to you
not having him.
232
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,400
For ODU does hurt the Russian
attack in the overall attack of
233
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,000
the offense.
Yeah.
234
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,300
And I'd rather I'd rather not
have him ODU then against BC or
235
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:25,700
West Virginia.
But you know, obviously I'd
236
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:30,900
rather have him on the field.
You know, it's gonna you know
237
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,900
look like we're going to be
looking leaning on Holston and
238
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:37,100
then we've got obviously Keshawn
king that's kind of come on this
239
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:39,900
year.
We got chance black that's going
240
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:41,600
to do stuff out of the back
field.
241
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,100
Probably a lot the passing game,
so there's guys behind him but
242
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:49,100
you know obviously Thomas I
think had the highest upside
243
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,300
heading into this season because
he I think he was already
244
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,900
probably ahead of where Holston
was and obviously had room to
245
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,600
get even better from there.
So, you know, hopefully we'll
246
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,200
get him back sooner rather than
later.
247
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,200
I'm hoping at least West
Virginia, maybe at the latest
248
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,700
UNC at the absolute latest but
hopefully back sometime in
249
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:11,100
September if we can sooner the
better for him.
250
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:13,500
You mentioned wholesome.
Olsen was nicked, he did not
251
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:16,800
practice Friday but it's one of
those things where that was
252
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,800
precautionary is what everybody
was saying.
253
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,800
Like if this was a game day, he
would have played.
254
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,200
But when you're number one run,
Or you're 18 option is out.
255
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,000
Don't let the one B option get
hurt.
256
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:29,700
I mean, don't let the one being.
If there's a question mark, hold
257
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:31,700
about keeping keeping ready to
go.
258
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:35,400
Keep him fresh, make sure
whatever it is gets full
259
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,100
treatment and full rest and
bringing back, you know,
260
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,200
practicing this week for for my
game.
261
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,400
We yeah another person who had
been out for a couple weeks.
262
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,100
Jaden blue you know was advised
is going to be back soon.
263
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:51,600
I think he was out there in a
non-blue contact, but not doing
264
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,700
drills.
Oddly similar to Holston you've
265
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:57,800
lost Dallin, right?
Who could be your 45 and you've
266
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,600
got, you know, you've got
Lofton, you've got Caleb,
267
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
obviously, doing big things,
it's again, I could see that as
268
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,600
a whole situation.
Hey, he could play today, he's
269
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,700
our number three or he's our 2
to a 1, b, 1, C, whatever.
270
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:14,800
He's a guy that's going to be on
the field, a lot.
271
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,600
This is a practice.
Yeah, just yeah, we don't all
272
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,300
have got we got three receivers
that we know are kind of Feel
273
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:25,000
Like A Step Above kind of where
everybody else is right.
274
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,900
So and he's one of those three.
So you don't want to risk having
275
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:32,300
one of those three guys, you
know, aggravating something
276
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:34,800
that's more of a nagging thing
and it turns into a bigger
277
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,200
thing.
So, you know, hold him out, get
278
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,500
him ready.
Like I said, I think it seems
279
00:16:39,500 --> 00:16:42,300
like he's gonna be back
practicing this week at some
280
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:45,700
point.
So, you know, we'll see how how
281
00:16:45,708 --> 00:16:48,600
that goes.
But at least it seems like we
282
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,700
avoided another potential
catastrophe there in a room that
283
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,000
That has a lot of question
marks, right?
284
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:59,000
In a room, we could not avoid
catastrophe and then we had to
285
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
avoid catastrophe, an excuse me,
can I take it to a tree
286
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,200
sometimes?
Alright, another couple rooms
287
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:09,200
that got hit kalai, Lawson out,
one to two weeks stinks because
288
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,000
he is such an athletic freak.
Not having him on the field but
289
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
it is a room with a lot of
people.
290
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:20,099
A lot of people probably going
to get playing time to good to
291
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:21,200
hear.
Hopefully one to two weeks, you
292
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,700
could see his His knee was the
knee area was wrapped in the
293
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:28,500
photo and Benji, guys.
Nail another room that's deep.
294
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:33,100
He's being evaluated.
I do not think I had not seen
295
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:34,700
anything being reported on him
yet.
296
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:38,400
Obviously, you'll have media
tomorrow, so be paying close
297
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:46,300
attention to that, you know?
I would say it sucks more for
298
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:49,300
collide than Benji, because
binge, he's going to be fighting
299
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:50,700
multiple guys to get on the
field.
300
00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:53,400
This year, after already coming
off an injury.
301
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,700
So that's my opinion sucks for
collide more than anybody.
302
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,900
Yeah, I think Benji was at a
point where he was going to get
303
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:02,500
some reps this year, but I'm
pretty sure he was going to be a
304
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:07,200
red shirt player.
Whereas Daquan, right is is
305
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,600
fighting for spots on the depth
chart for the for the full
306
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,700
season there.
And and he kind of understand
307
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,900
that even unless Benji was going
out there and completely lighten
308
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:20,800
it up and was Head and Shoulders
above.
309
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,800
Any other young guys you want to
Redshirt him coming off an
310
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,600
injury like that.
So yeah I think that was always
311
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,200
the plan for him.
Anyway we'll see if this has any
312
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,400
impact on those four games at.
He would have had some some
313
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,200
playing time in you know, Lawson
I think is the big, is the
314
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,900
bigger one at least in the short
term that is a position where we
315
00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:43,900
have pretty good depth.
And obviously he's not the
316
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:46,400
Frontline player at that
position but he is a guy that
317
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,200
was going to see significant
number of snaps.
318
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:54,400
I believe just from his skill
set, his length and things like
319
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,600
that.
I think that that was going to
320
00:18:55,608 --> 00:18:59,500
get him on the field even if
it's just a pass rush type role
321
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,500
in the in the 2022 season, he
was going to see some snaps so
322
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:08,100
hopefully he can get back out
there as soon as possible so we
323
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:12,000
can get him some of that action.
Absolutely, if anything catalyze
324
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,800
a big chest, Peace that they we
know he was getting work.
325
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,600
It will, he was getting work at
Sam can move around off the S
326
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,800
such an athlete and obviously go
back to special teams to a guy
327
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,200
660.
We've seen those box jumps.
328
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:32,600
I hope you can come back and get
some PT be used on special
329
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,200
teams.
All right, let's flip it.
330
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,100
There's been some talk obviously
last week about position battles
331
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,500
and I think left guard, I think
it is a war.
332
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,500
Or going on right there between
Hanson and more because you
333
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:51,100
know, it's been said by coach
Brent pry, bring l'amour's going
334
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:55,800
to get playing time this year.
Said it, you know, and then he's
335
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,800
going to get some PT week.
One said, yeah, it's a PT week
336
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,700
one and then we're starting to
hear six or seven.
337
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:07,300
The used to be just six.
Now we're starting to hear that
338
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:10,900
seven number which I know makes
me and you both feel
339
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:13,000
significantly better on that
offensive line.
340
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:15,800
Absolutely.
Yeah, that and that's going to
341
00:20:15,808 --> 00:20:18,100
be big and I think that left
guard, I said it on the
342
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:20,600
timeline.
I think we tweeted out earlier
343
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,800
this week or in the last week.
Eek, you know, a guy like
344
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,700
Braylon more winning that job,
only raises the floor and the
345
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:30,700
ceiling for the offensive line
this year.
346
00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:34,900
Because, you know, we knew that
coming in, I was like, okay well
347
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:37,900
who's it going to be is going to
be Jesse handsome at that spot,
348
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:41,300
you know, and we were pretty
content with Jesse Hanson
349
00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:43,000
holding that down.
Yep.
350
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
The fact that brayla more seems
to be kind of approaching that
351
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,500
level already.
It really only having switched
352
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:51,800
positions, you know, late late
in the spring.
353
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:56,800
That's big for a true freshman
coming in and he's only going to
354
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,700
get better from here.
So that like I said, that's
355
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:02,300
going to raise the floor in the
ceiling for this offensive lines
356
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:06,400
potential this year and it helps
the depth because now you got a
357
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,600
guy like handsome that is, he
doesn't have a whole lot of Game
358
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,100
wraps.
But he's a guy that has been a
359
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:20,900
power five lineman for a while,
has shown some potential that's
360
00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:24,600
going to improve your depth and
obviously we were somewhat
361
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,000
comfortable with him as a
starter as we were moving from
362
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,200
Spring and fall.
Absolutely that.
363
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,000
Again that's only going to help
that depth are now we're just
364
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,600
looking for that that one or two
tackles to kind of Step into the
365
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,900
kind of fill out this this
eight-man rotation That you want
366
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:44,200
to be really be comfortable with
your offensive line.
367
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,700
I'm hoping that's a guy like
Xavier Chaplin or Johnny Garrett
368
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,500
somebody, you know.
Yeah, absolutely.
369
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,500
Hopefully one of those guys as
prize mentioned, maybe it's not
370
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:57,400
the beginning but maybe by the
time we hit October getting
371
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,300
those reps in practice.
Working with Scout teams getting
372
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:05,000
in finally.
Click, OK, we can now trust this
373
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,300
guy to play tackle as for the
rest of the season.
374
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:13,600
So somebody Down as much depth
as we have.
375
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,500
A lot of the linebacker is just
fun this year between between my
376
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:21,800
quill and saying, man, I mean,
you got Keller last week,
377
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,900
running with Dax Jason, Keller,
running with the ones and then
378
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:29,300
there's mentioning that there
are certain sense where
379
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:33,200
Tisdale's running with the
threes on will but he's running
380
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,700
one's own Mike.
Sometimes you're playing some
381
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:42,100
Mike I mean that room is just
it's Lee, I would say that is
382
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:46,700
our most talented room top to
bottom in every aspect.
383
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:49,300
Whether it be the mental aspect,
the athletic aspect, the
384
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:54,500
versatility aspect, definitely
on defense, I'll definitely give
385
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:56,700
you that on defense.
I can make argument for tight in
386
00:22:56,700 --> 00:22:59,300
on offense but definitely on
defense.
387
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:04,700
I'm good with you there and yeah
Keller running with the ones is
388
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:09,100
great news because just like I
was talking about with more and
389
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:13,500
Hanson If you've got a guy
beating out him in trench
390
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:17,200
starter, that's only raising the
floor in the ceiling of that
391
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,200
potential that linebacker spot
right there.
392
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,700
Yes.
And when you couple that with
393
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:24,800
the mixing and matching of
moving Tisdale into mic on some
394
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,900
sets and running with Keller,
that's improving your
395
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:31,000
athleticism at the position
because now you're taking a guy
396
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,400
that has the athleticism to play
Will and now you're moving into
397
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,200
Mike Keller still running that
will spot.
398
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:41,100
I mean, that's raising the bar
across the Lord, I feel like,
399
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,900
you know, we'll see if that
translates to better play on the
400
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:45,900
field.
Obviously, we haven't seen
401
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:50,300
enough at this point to really
make that judgment, and we've
402
00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:52,800
only seen it in inter-squad
scrimmages.
403
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,000
So, you know, we'll see if that
translates into wins, but I
404
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,800
think that's definitely raising
the potential for that room.
405
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,800
Both on the, like I said, from a
florist and point in the ceiling
406
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,800
standpoint, 100%.
I cannot wait to see that unit
407
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,700
play this season under Prime.
Marv because I do think we're
408
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:16,200
going to see a significant step.
Alright, let's talk about D end.
409
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:20,900
So it maybe I heard this wrong
so I know you listen to it too.
410
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:25,300
Call Nelson.
And McRae are pushing starters.
411
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,700
What Wei Zhang Who the hell's
opposite of garbage?
412
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:29,000
I thought they were fighting
for.
413
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,800
That spot.
Is it?
414
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,300
Is it Jay Griff?
Is it somebody else?
415
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:37,000
Because either way it's a good
thing, it's a good thing to hear
416
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,200
those two young guys and once
again, it's bronze philosophy.
417
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,200
Now that we're talking about
these, you know, basically
418
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,100
freshmen sophomores pushing for
PT the whole group goes up.
419
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:52,700
Yeah, I think that's the big
thing and I'm not sure if he was
420
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:56,600
meaning, you know, they were
pushing the play level, that
421
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,000
Garbutt was bringing to the
table, whether they were
422
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,800
referencing Griffin.
In this situation.
423
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:07,100
As being the entrenched starter
at the position or what the
424
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:11,500
situation would be, obviously
Griffin was probably You know,
425
00:25:11,500 --> 00:25:14,300
the third-best DN that we had
last season.
426
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,600
So if you're just, you know,
moving that into the current
427
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,300
roster now that you've got bar
know, in the NFL then that would
428
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:27,300
kind of be considered the
entrenched starters there, so.
429
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:31,900
But I think the big thing for me
is McCrea.
430
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,200
McRae coming on in McRae being
at least pushing for starting,
431
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,500
if not, you know, fully in the
too deep at this point, I think
432
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:43,200
is a great thing for this
defense.
433
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,300
You know, no offense to Eli
Adams.
434
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:52,600
I like the craze size and speed
combination a lot better than I
435
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,300
do.
What Adams brings to the table?
436
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:59,800
I think Adams is a good, you
know, 3D player.
437
00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:02,700
He's a guy that he's played
enough reps.
438
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:05,400
Now where you can put him out
there, a handful of snaps of
439
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,400
game and he can get stuff done
for you.
440
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,200
He's not the guy that I want out
there for a whole series or for
441
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,800
multiple series back to back.
Absolutely.
442
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:20,400
So again the more you hear the
young guys named the the better
443
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,200
you feel not only about this
season but the future because I
444
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,300
do believe this staff would be
pushing.
445
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:31,000
Whoever the best player is not
necessarily seniority.
446
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:35,600
I was I was hoping we hear
something cornerback to is still
447
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,600
a mystery between Chapman and
Marie.
448
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:42,400
Hopefully we get some info in
the next couple days.
449
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,100
Either way, I think again, both
guys have a lot of playing time
450
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:49,400
out there.
You kind of feel comfortable
451
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,900
with either one of them, you
know, they both, they both can
452
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:55,100
be good players.
They both have their flaws as
453
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:58,000
compared to their door in strong
who is just seemingly.
454
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,800
I think they've said it a couple
times just consistent consistent
455
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,900
consistent.
Yeah I think that's the thing
456
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:08,600
we've seen you know Chapman have
good plays in Bad plays, we've
457
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:14,500
seen Marie Marie, seems to be
more matchup dependent in terms
458
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:18,600
of his play whereas Chapman.
It is more like truly
459
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,100
inconsistent at times, but I
think Chapman in terms of just
460
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:25,300
pure coverage is the better
option there.
461
00:27:27,300 --> 00:27:30,000
But, you know, does he have
those?
462
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,700
Is he able to do enough?
And be consistent with it in
463
00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:38,500
order to keep Marie off the
field at that corner back to I'm
464
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:42,200
hoping so I think Marie is a
good rotational type cornerback
465
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,400
I don't know if he's a guy that
I want out there for long
466
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,300
stretches of time at cornerback
to so you know and hopefully
467
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:53,200
that room can stay healthy
because I feel like there's some
468
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,200
potential in that room.
I think you got some players
469
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,500
there.
We just need to make sure that
470
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:02,300
those front front line.
Two guys, Chapman and strong,
471
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
hold up, and play.
Well and consistent.
472
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:08,100
Absolutely.
All right, last piece we're in
473
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:10,500
about position battles.
We had already talked about ride
474
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:12,300
receiver, four and five and a
half gallon, right?
475
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:15,300
Would be pushing for that and
then he goes down.
476
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:20,700
Jaden blue goes down and it was
a couple guys getting a lot of
477
00:28:20,708 --> 00:28:24,800
compliments and Stephen Gosnell
and Christian Moss had been
478
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,600
stepping up lately.
Again you love to hear it.
479
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,600
The transfer from UNC and they
you know redshirt freshman
480
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,700
getting praise from the Coaches.
And, you know, is it just the
481
00:28:35,700 --> 00:28:38,800
same old coach speak?
Maybe, maybe we don't see them a
482
00:28:38,808 --> 00:28:44,200
game this year.
But again, names are getting
483
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,100
mentioned in that.
Always is a big thing.
484
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:51,600
Yeah, Gosnell Mall stepping up.
You know, we've heard of Keshawn
485
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,000
King is now getting some touches
that slot and flankers.
486
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,600
So that's that's pretty big as
well that we're finally finally
487
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:06,500
Using that actual position
flexibility to our advantage in
488
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:10,400
getting guys, touches and Reps
in practice at places that they
489
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,800
can be a weapon on the field.
So, that's good to hear.
490
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:20,000
And we've heard obviously
there's a lot of Buzz about
491
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,800
Daquan, right?
I know, I'm, I'm singing the
492
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,100
Praises a lot, and I'm going to
keep singing them until I'm
493
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:28,800
born, 18 months with a 14-month
love affair with daikon, right?
494
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,500
And it's until I see something
that tells me otherwise.
495
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:34,900
As I'm going to keep helping
this kid up because nothing I've
496
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:39,200
heard has shaken me off.
What I saw on tape and what I've
497
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,700
seen otherwise, so I'm going to
keep riding it.
498
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:48,800
I think he's a guy that's going
to help us in kind of that joker
499
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,700
tight in position.
And also a guy that could be
500
00:29:51,700 --> 00:29:54,800
doing some of the type of things
that Bucky Hodges did for us,
501
00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:01,300
you know, when he was here out
the gate and then we'll see how
502
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:04,500
he Transitions into that that
full-time tight enroll as his
503
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:07,300
career goes along.
But He's got potential to do
504
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,900
some tight end duties, some wide
receiver duties in year one.
505
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:15,700
And I think he's going to be a
guy that right out the gate is
506
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:17,900
going to be playing
significance.
507
00:30:17,900 --> 00:30:19,900
Nets for us on the offense in
your one.
508
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,700
I think I think you're right
especially with some folks
509
00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:27,000
getting hurt and obviously the
way you have seen Tyler Boeing
510
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,700
used tight ends.
I think it's very likely that he
511
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:33,400
he doesn't, he plays me.
Before and he gets that shirt
512
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,300
burned.
Let's talk about this.
513
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:41,600
Kind of last piece of current
going on with the tech team or
514
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,300
something related to Tech in
that is the ODU offensive
515
00:30:45,300 --> 00:30:49,100
coordinator.
Dave, had a nude resigned three
516
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:52,000
weeks before the kickoff of the
game.
517
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,500
Dave, Pat nude had previously
last three seasons been down at
518
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:02,500
Georgia, Tech with Jeff Collins.
Obviously we saw Them last year.
519
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:06,100
One down there.
Also, you something I can
520
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:08,900
remember two years ago.
Brian, you talking about Georgia
521
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:12,000
Tech and they were kind of a
power smash offense.
522
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,400
So going down to Ricky Ronnie
that makes sense.
523
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,700
But when you've had the guy,
who's been in the quarterbacks a
524
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:21,600
year, who's been calling the
please who's been designing, and
525
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:27,300
he's gone.
I mean, I'm not complaining but
526
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:35,200
that is a uphill climb even more
for For ODU versus what
527
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,200
seemingly Brent price trying to
get to be an angry Virginia Tech
528
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,400
Team.
Yeah.
529
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,300
I mean now you've got Ricky
Ronnie everywhere.
530
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,700
Essentially three hats at least
in the short term, right?
531
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:50,200
So he's now the head coach.
He's the de facto offensive
532
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,600
coordinator and he's now the de
facto quarterbacks coach, that's
533
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,400
a big fucking deal, right?
You two weeks before three weeks
534
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,100
before the season, whatever it
was when he Uptown and I mean, I
535
00:32:03,108 --> 00:32:05,200
don't want to speculate too much
but I've heard this might have
536
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,100
been a similar to the Oklahoma
situation, but oh, really?
537
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,600
That's the Whispers.
I am hearing it is not a public
538
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,100
situation so I will not
elaborate further.
539
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:20,600
But yeah.
Okay.
540
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:25,800
But it's over to you so it
doesn't get quite the sprout.
541
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:31,700
A lot of Nationals ODU, it's not
going to get the run as it would
542
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:36,400
somewhere else.
So again for us to me, it's even
543
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,200
more.
So for someone like Tyler
544
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,600
bowing, if he's and Brent, it's
Ricky Ronnie's brain.
545
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,500
Now, it's not days.
Brain, its Ricky Ronnie's brain.
546
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:46,500
So that's a big thing.
It's going to be really
547
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:50,400
interesting to see.
How they look?
548
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,500
I'll pensively that night.
All right, let's flip this one
549
00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:57,900
because this is one that sort of
got some people riled up.
550
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:04,300
Yes, the next 10 years.
The out of conference schedule
551
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:07,900
is not pretty even less.
Pretty would be why you going
552
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:14,400
off the schedule.
Just so, if you haven't seen it,
553
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:19,000
David Cunningham, put this out
there back about August 17th.
554
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,200
Next year.
ODU, Purdue at Rutgers at
555
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,800
Marshall.
First of all, a trucker's at
556
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,400
Marshall, we need to quit doing
that.
557
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,700
I know we talked about it.
The panel's got to be stopped
558
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,500
20:24.
Write this one down at
559
00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:35,200
Vanderbilt Marshall at ODU.
Again, we've got to stop it in
560
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,100
Rutgers 2025.
Finally, we get a Chick-fil-A
561
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:42,900
kick off with South Carolina
down in Atlanta van dod, ujm,
562
00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:49,900
you I mean, Arizona Wisconsin's
on the schedule and like 80, I
563
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:59,200
mean, It doesn't start looking
decent again until 2030. 2030
564
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,100
and even then it's not
necessarily blowing your skirt
565
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:06,500
up.
It's just hey, it's good enough,
566
00:34:06,700 --> 00:34:08,699
it's good enough.
What's the point that you've
567
00:34:08,699 --> 00:34:11,800
made?
Several times big guy, why did
568
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,900
we get such big games in the
2002 2010's?
569
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:18,500
Why are we getting Ohio State?
Why are we getting Alabama?
570
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:22,500
Why are we getting USC?
It's that whole well, there are
571
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:26,500
top 20 team.
So if we lose to them, it's not
572
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:30,100
the end of the world.
If we beat them it's a resume
573
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:37,500
checkmark for us and and what's
happened really since 2012 and
574
00:34:37,500 --> 00:34:43,199
over the last 10 years, we've
had to really yet.
575
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:45,600
We are getting close map to next
Friday.
576
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:49,100
Yes, yes, it's getting there.
We've had.
577
00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:53,800
One really good season to okay
Seasons.
578
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:56,900
Bunch of mediocre season to ship
seasons.
579
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,900
And your big teams do not want
to play you.
580
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:03,800
When that is your track record,
you have to start lower and
581
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,500
that's where we are.
Right now, we are bad enough.
582
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:12,200
We're beating us doesn't help
them and we're not, we're just
583
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,100
good enough.
We're losing to us, hurts them
584
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:16,700
pretty bad.
Exactly.
585
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,600
There's a risk to losing to us.
So that's why no one wants to
586
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,000
play there.
We're just risky enough, where
587
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,900
it's a, it's a, it's a bad loss
and we're, we're not helping
588
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:29,600
them.
If they go come down here and
589
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,900
waxes.
So more bodies nobody wants to
590
00:35:33,908 --> 00:35:39,700
place right now, exactly more of
this Story is win more games and
591
00:35:39,700 --> 00:35:43,100
you become more attractive.
When you win more games, you get
592
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:45,100
to tell Marshall 02, you know,
we're never coming to your
593
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:46,900
place, you will always come
here.
594
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,600
You always drive here.
We're never coming to your
595
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,700
place.
Yeah, I'm kind of sick of the
596
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:57,100
driving at ODU and driving to
Lynchburg, like we grew up in
597
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:59,000
our from Lynchburg, we go to
fucking Lynchburg, and I don't
598
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:05,700
want to, I want to play the
fucking game, they're all right.
599
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,000
All right, so obviously end of
last week.
600
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,500
Brian, the Big Ten multi Network
deal.
601
00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:18,900
Rolls out seven billion over
seven years with an option to go
602
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:22,300
up to 10 depending on if they
add additional teams, I'm sure
603
00:36:22,300 --> 00:36:24,500
there's some contract language
in there about what additional
604
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:28,200
teams, they would need to add to
get to that 10 million roughly.
605
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,800
You do the math.
It's a billion dollars a year
606
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,600
with the 16 Team league.
It's roughly probably right
607
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,100
about 70 million.
And then obviously on top of
608
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,400
some other Deals.
They have you're looking at
609
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,900
probably close to 80 to 90
million per team.
610
00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:46,200
The most interesting piece is
ESPN is shut out completely.
611
00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:48,600
Right.
Yep.
612
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,100
And they're going to be having a
big game at 12.
613
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:56,100
A big game at 3:30 on CBS in a
big night game on NBC.
614
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Can we be one of the teams that
you know, gets added to this?
615
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:10,200
Because that is a ton of money
and in reality, I think what's
616
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,900
going to happen quickly and
you're going to see it, you're
617
00:37:13,900 --> 00:37:18,000
going to have basically.
Five teams are going to get
618
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,900
those slots consistently.
It's going to be Ohio State.
619
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:24,100
It's going to be Michigan.
It's going to be Penn State.
620
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:26,800
It's going to be Wisconsin.
And then maybe you can say six
621
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:32,900
with At Michigan State, that's
it Rutgers, Rutgers, Maryland
622
00:37:32,900 --> 00:37:37,400
will never be on the 330, it CBS
or the moon, or the 7:30 night
623
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,000
game, they will be moved to
Peacock or Big Ten Network.
624
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:46,200
They're getting flexed out.
Did the did the size of the deal
625
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,800
and then how it broke down shock
you in any way.
626
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:52,900
I'd say how it broke down,
didn't shock me as much as the
627
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:55,100
size.
I think the size is I think a
628
00:37:55,107 --> 00:37:58,400
little bit more than what we
thought was going to be coming.
629
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:05,700
Good for them and I think, you
know, obviously adding the
630
00:38:05,700 --> 00:38:10,200
team's they're adding is only
helping that it's helping their
631
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:17,400
negotiation on that side of
things. but, I think how it's
632
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,500
structured is good for them.
And I think they kind of made
633
00:38:20,500 --> 00:38:27,100
the play of Hey, this could lure
Notre Dame, this could lure.
634
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:29,000
Some of the other Pac-12
markets.
635
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,700
If we decide to go higher, go
go, you know aim towards 20s?
636
00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:37,300
I think they're looking.
I think they're looking a little
637
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:44,500
bit forward in this deal as well
but I think at the same time I
638
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:48,000
don't think anything in this
deal is moving the needle for
639
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,400
Notre Dame.
And I think that's, that's
640
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,900
still, that's still the biggest
domino to fall before.
641
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:57,900
I think some bigger things start
happening, long term.
642
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:01,600
Yeah.
You know, big things right now
643
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,900
is, you know, I was told you to
Dad conversation, it's looking
644
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:08,200
like, more or less for the ACC
to break up, you're looking at
645
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,000
75%, there's not 75 percent of
teens who's going to get offered
646
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,400
elsewhere.
So, it's a pipe dream for the
647
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,600
ACC to disband and for
potentially land in the SEC or
648
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,000
potentially, the Big Ten.
And let's grant of rights are
649
00:39:22,008 --> 00:39:25,400
broken or there's some other
Other factors that come into
650
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:30,400
play, but in that thing, there's
going to have to be a legal
651
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,200
challenge first.
If there's a legal challenge,
652
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,800
then all bets are off especially
if that legal challenges is
653
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:40,600
successful, but I think barring
a legal challenge for good or
654
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,800
ill.
We're riding with the ACC for a
655
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,500
while.
Yeah, only upside now is, and
656
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:52,300
you mentioned this, a few weeks
ago, ESPN had money set aside
657
00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:57,200
for this, right?
Yeah, how much can the ACC get
658
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,400
out of it?
How much additional can they get
659
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,400
out of it to basically go from
38 million?
660
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:08,500
I think it will 36.7 this year
to that 45 50 million where
661
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:12,000
you're still behind, but you're
not as far behind.
662
00:40:13,700 --> 00:40:15,300
So how much can they get out of
it?
663
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:18,500
Or does ESPN take the money and
put it back somewhere else?
664
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:21,200
And obviously SEC is going to
get more in a few years.
665
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,500
But can the ACC or the Big 12
Pride additional money out of
666
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:31,800
ESPN because now, ACC is going
to probably get better slots.
667
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,700
Right between could at least
work and more consistent slots.
668
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:39,700
Yeah, we're consistent slot
because you've always got ABC
669
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:44,000
ESPN ESPN2, then you get into
the SP and you and then the
670
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,500
Network's themselves.
So, is it something where, you
671
00:40:48,508 --> 00:40:52,600
know, the ABCs get an ABC game
versus the ESPN2 game of the
672
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:57,600
ACC, networking plenty games to
go around for all for all
673
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:58,800
parties involved.
You know?
674
00:40:58,900 --> 00:41:02,300
Sixteen fourteen teams roughly,
that's seven games a week.
675
00:41:02,300 --> 00:41:07,700
So hopefully, Just better, slots
showing increased viewers, but
676
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:09,500
we'll see.
I think the problem we're
677
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:11,400
seeing.
I think in, I mean, I looked at
678
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,200
some of the, the numbers in
terms of like most-watched,
679
00:41:17,100 --> 00:41:19,200
Teams with the with the, with
the highest ratings.
680
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,900
Virginia Tech got hurt a lot
last year with ACC fucking
681
00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:25,300
Network.
Fuck them.
682
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:29,700
Fuck you put you put definitely
the biggest game of the two
683
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:34,300
biggest games of the year on
there by putting Notre Dame and
684
00:41:34,300 --> 00:41:37,500
putting my any another.
That's the thing we're trying to
685
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:41,200
lure people in but when you're
not getting Nielsen ratings,
686
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,700
where you can say, Hey, listen,
we played Notre Dame like that
687
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:46,200
ABC game a few years ago, I
think it was like 4.1.
688
00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:50,700
One are pretty good number for a
Saturday night game, and now
689
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:55,000
you're putting that game on the
SEC network that doesn't get
690
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,700
rated.
So, you don't know how many
691
00:41:56,700 --> 00:41:58,500
people are actually doing that
game.
692
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:03,300
That's where, you know, if
you're, if you're Jim Phillips,
693
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:06,100
the one thing you better be
slinging is saying you're going
694
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:09,200
to put our crap games on there.
You're not putting FSU on there,
695
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,000
you're not putting Clemson.
You're not putting Miami, not
696
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,300
putting Tech.
You're not putting Carolina,
697
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:15,500
you're not putting state.
You put waking pit on there.
698
00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:20,100
The you don't put the teams that
draw eyes to our conference.
699
00:42:22,300 --> 00:42:23,900
That's--yeah that's-- and
that's--.
700
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:25,200
That's the rate.
They're right.
701
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,700
That mean, and I agree 100% with
Curtis on that getting us on a
702
00:42:29,707 --> 00:42:31,600
sec Network.
Especially those Marquee games
703
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,500
that are going to draw eyes.
You know, we were still dealing
704
00:42:35,500 --> 00:42:40,500
with situation where so many in
the primary Market didn't have
705
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:42,500
her in terms of coverage, didn't
have it.
706
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:50,000
It is, there are so many TVs in
the state of Virginia in parts
707
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,400
of Maryland that are Atlantic
jority, majority Comcast homes.
708
00:42:56,100 --> 00:42:59,300
Well, basically thing about this
it's really Pennsylvania down in
709
00:42:59,308 --> 00:43:02,700
the South Carolina I've got
family in South Carolina.
710
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:06,300
They have Comcast.
So, I mean, North Carolina is
711
00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:10,000
chartered Charter primarily but
I mean, yeah, once you get back
712
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,700
into South Carolina, Xfinity
picks back in there.
713
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:14,900
So big, big, big Morgan, this
type.
714
00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:18,900
So we'll get a just stop that or
I can go for trust me.
715
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:21,700
Y'all don't get to hear the Rams
beforehand when Brian.
716
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:24,200
These are the these are the
filter drancy.
717
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,700
The are ones that have been, you
know, we've trimmed them down.
718
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:32,600
We focused on well, over the
last Last few weeks Brian.
719
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,900
We did not talk about this last
week because we had such a two
720
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:40,100
weeks ago, we had our panel on
but hope he's got another commit
721
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:44,300
Hokies currently.
Sending 36 composite 33, 24/7,
722
00:43:44,700 --> 00:43:50,700
young man out of Ontario,
Canada, Ishmael Finn later, 64
723
00:43:50,700 --> 00:43:57,000
230, low 3, star has kind of
some views from Arizona state
724
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,100
with Central Michigan, Have you
had a chance where there any
725
00:44:01,100 --> 00:44:03,700
tape out there on this guy from
Canada?
726
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,700
Yeah, there's there's some tape
out there and I mean you know,
727
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:13,100
I'm not trying to sell a false
bill of goods here but the tape
728
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:18,400
is better than the ranking but
it's still not a needle mover if
729
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,700
that makes sense.
He's an 82.
730
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,200
He said I'm going to hit him.
I'd say if I was going 24/7 I'd
731
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,300
be like 83-84.
I mean solid but But
732
00:44:29,300 --> 00:44:34,500
unspectacular, but I think the
size and and things is what
733
00:44:34,500 --> 00:44:37,800
standing out, and I think that's
the thing that could be molded
734
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,600
into something better down the
road, but this is definitely a
735
00:44:40,607 --> 00:44:43,500
developmental type player.
It's not somebody that's going
736
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:47,500
to jump off the page or move any
needle in terms of recruiting
737
00:44:47,500 --> 00:44:51,400
perception, 64 230.
You can't, you know, that's that
738
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,500
is a great body for a defensive
end.
739
00:44:54,300 --> 00:44:57,100
And I felt like he camped with
us.
740
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,600
Let me see.
I feel like he camped with us
741
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:07,600
and they probably measure the
variables somewhere.
742
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,700
I'm pretty.
I think he did camp, and they
743
00:45:09,700 --> 00:45:13,500
did say his measurables were
verified select like legit, and
744
00:45:13,500 --> 00:45:16,700
that's probably why they offered
him later as we're getting into
745
00:45:16,700 --> 00:45:18,600
this cycle.
You know, we've got currently
746
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,600
18, I think we get a lot more.
They showed the senior picture,
747
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:26,200
and I think I counted 48 guys on
scholarship seniors, this year,
748
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,000
I think we're targeting 26.
He seven guys, this year.
749
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,600
So thing quite a number.
Yeah, I think that number and
750
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,600
you kind of leave yourself a
little wiggle room for a
751
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,200
potential transfer.
If a couple more guys, transfer
752
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,900
out larger transfer classes.
So again, got one more guy there
753
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:44,100
in the boat, good to hear that.
All right.
754
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:48,000
So before we get into our main
topic of giving y'all are
755
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,500
predictions for this season, we
are going to take a quick pause

765
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:18,900
Now back to the episode All
right, so we did this last year.
766
00:46:18,900 --> 00:46:22,800
It's a lot of fun to do fun
exercise.
767
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,200
Everybody out there and we've
already had a couple people put
768
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,400
their records up for the year.
Feel free to chime in will show
769
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,700
them at the end, but we are
going to go game by game records
770
00:46:34,900 --> 00:46:40,300
for this season.
Now, there is a disclaimer These
771
00:46:40,300 --> 00:46:46,200
are our ceilings.
Okay, this is our ceilings And
772
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,400
we want to put that out there in
case someone so y'all.
773
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,300
So they wouldn't engage.
Oh that's our ceiling.
774
00:46:50,300 --> 00:46:54,000
That's we're basically saying
nobody gets hurt Malachi Thomas
775
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,600
is their game 1.
Kalaallisut is their game 1 and
776
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,200
we have the most unbelievable.
Football, season injury-wise in
777
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,700
the history of football.
And a couple things.
778
00:47:04,700 --> 00:47:07,900
Bounce our way and key games.
There you go.
779
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:11,600
So, no further.
Again, we're going to get into a
780
00:47:11,607 --> 00:47:14,200
lot more detail.
With last week, we've been
781
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,800
reading and studying and prize
been looking at some tape
782
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,500
already, but let's start with
ODU, Brian.
783
00:47:20,500 --> 00:47:24,500
What do you say there?
For me, this is Virginia Tech
784
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:28,300
all the way.
I know I said it on the panel, I
785
00:47:28,300 --> 00:47:31,000
think we need to go out there
and crush them make this a over
786
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:36,600
by halftime situation.
I think this is our chance to
787
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:42,700
send a message that this team is
not only better than what a lot
788
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:44,600
of folks out there thinking they
are.
789
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:49,000
But sending a message in terms
of the state, this is our state
790
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,000
again.
We should even be in Norfolk for
791
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,700
this fucking game, but since we
made the trip, we're going to
792
00:47:57,700 --> 00:47:59,300
get an ass whoopin while we're
down there.
793
00:47:59,700 --> 00:48:02,300
Yeah, but before we head home,
we're going to get one in before
794
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:04,800
you head home.
And I'm me Broader lockstep with
795
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,600
this one.
I am fully Virginia Tech on this
796
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,200
one.
They need to make the statement.
797
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,200
They need to make, and I set it
on a pan, I'll say it again.
798
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,300
They need to make that
Hundred-Foot walk back to ODU
799
00:48:16,300 --> 00:48:19,100
locker room.
The most miserable walk of those
800
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:23,800
kids lives and that they never
want to see maroon and orange
801
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,300
come back to that field.
Again, to the point where the
802
00:48:26,300 --> 00:48:30,500
Ada has to cancel the series.
And I think there's some guys on
803
00:48:30,500 --> 00:48:36,300
this team from going from 20.
From 2018 who played going down
804
00:48:36,300 --> 00:48:38,300
there, probably with a bitter
taste in their mouth.
805
00:48:38,300 --> 00:48:41,300
So I really like that.
So I'm definitely going to be
806
00:48:41,300 --> 00:48:43,800
going VT.
Takes one out the gate.
807
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,300
We will be previewing this game
next week.
808
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:52,700
Alright, Bronn first home game
for Brent Pride night game.
809
00:48:52,700 --> 00:48:57,100
Unfortunately, on the ACC
Network, I get the ACC Network.
810
00:48:57,100 --> 00:49:01,500
Luckily, yeah, you throw your
hands up its PC so it's not the
811
00:49:01,500 --> 00:49:05,000
big one although that game last.
last year Friday pulled almost 2
812
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:10,200
billion people on a frickin
Friday night in mid-october so
813
00:49:11,300 --> 00:49:15,100
maybe it should be moved to a
different network and maybe it
814
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:20,000
will but that stuff pretty said
but anyway This is one of those
815
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,900
tougher ones in.
As I was going through it, they
816
00:49:23,900 --> 00:49:27,000
got Djokovic going back half Li
second year.
817
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:31,500
They lost a lot of Their Own
Line, but I'm sitting here and
818
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:35,400
just thinking of that atmosphere
that's going to be there in lane
819
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,400
and I know you will be there.
Bought us tickets this week did
820
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,000
calendar cleared out, so mr.
Siegel will definitely be there,
821
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,200
but the, the atmosphere the
electricity in the air a night
822
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,500
game, which means people are
going to be getting out to the
823
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:54,400
parking, lots 7:00 8:00 in the
morning.
824
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,900
Going all day.
I think taking when this will
825
00:49:58,900 --> 00:50:01,200
comfortably, when I say
comfortably, I'm talking to
826
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,700
scores at the end, something,
when I get there, I'll say it,
827
00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:09,600
but I think Tech wins this one
comfortably but not so
828
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,500
comfortable.
We're not like saying in the
829
00:50:11,508 --> 00:50:13,900
fourth quarter, put two more
touchdowns on it because I don't
830
00:50:13,900 --> 00:50:18,300
want anything stupid to happen.
Yeah, I'm not feeling quite as
831
00:50:18,300 --> 00:50:21,600
comfortable as you are about
this in terms of the Gap in the
832
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,600
score, but I definitely think we
can pull this one out.
833
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:28,300
My thing is, is that that
Offensive line is banged up,
834
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:32,900
it's still early in the season,
they lost a lot of players from
835
00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:36,500
last year's team.
I think this attacking Brent
836
00:50:36,500 --> 00:50:41,400
Pride defense will get after
jerkin Vic early and I think
837
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,400
that's the difference.
It was the difference when we
838
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,900
played in 2020.
Yep.
839
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:49,200
When we forced a bunch of
turnovers early, absolute going
840
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,100
to be something similar.
I don't know if we'll get quite
841
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:54,200
the bounces from those turnovers
that we got then, but I think we
842
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,300
put enough pressure on them
early where we hold on for it
843
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,100
abso-freakin'-lutely.
Alright, Braun.
844
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:11,100
We just say this one, the
Whopper game Virginia Tech and
845
00:51:11,100 --> 00:51:16,900
in the words of Don, be 50
Burger, 50 smash them crush
846
00:51:16,900 --> 00:51:18,200
them.
I won't 60.
847
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:22,200
I will, I won't, you know what,
Frank Beamer always kind of a
848
00:51:22,207 --> 00:51:23,700
nice guy.
Wouldn't run up the score.
849
00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:27,500
I hope Britt prai has a little
more but in him and it's like,
850
00:51:27,500 --> 00:51:29,400
56.
Nothing in the third quarter,
851
00:51:29,900 --> 00:51:33,600
I'm trying to get to 70.
I want a squirrel stop these
852
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,700
guys.
I'll pull my starters but I'm
853
00:51:37,700 --> 00:51:40,200
still running my offense.
Exactly.
854
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,400
I am trying to continue, I'll
pull my starters but I'm still
855
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,800
sending six on third down and
long.
856
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,800
So let's do a check-in 3 and 0
through the first three games,
857
00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:54,300
where we optimistic.
Well, it's pretty seasoned if
858
00:51:54,300 --> 00:51:58,100
you're not optimistic, that's
the rough fan life you have
859
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:00,600
there, got to be a bitch or
something.
860
00:52:00,900 --> 00:52:04,800
All right, so big one, Thursday
night, Right.
861
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,800
Blacksburg West Virginia, Black
Diamond Trophy and I think
862
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,900
someone said it's like going to
be the 30th or maybe the 25th
863
00:52:13,900 --> 00:52:15,800
anniversary.
It's going to be an anniversary
864
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,600
of the first Thursday night
game.
865
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,300
Virginia Tech ever hosted so
big, you're already people are
866
00:52:21,300 --> 00:52:27,600
already talking about going in
taking a full weekend that the
867
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,300
BC game was electric, this one's
going to get downright obnoxious
868
00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:35,700
and insane because I always go
back.
869
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:41,200
Go find it was it 2,000?
The Andre Davis three touchdown
870
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,200
game, three different ways in
the Wayne board block.
871
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,300
Jesus, I think they seriously
have a chance to get Fowler on
872
00:52:49,300 --> 00:52:53,700
this one and with West Virginia,
in their back in being so bad,
873
00:52:53,700 --> 00:52:55,100
and I know we're going to look
more in detail.
874
00:52:55,100 --> 00:52:58,800
A lot of these games and
learning a new offense and going
875
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:04,500
to sort of to a true are a and
they're going to be four games
876
00:53:04,500 --> 00:53:08,600
in only three games in.
I'm going to say we take the
877
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:13,700
diamond trophy back here Braun.
I'm actually with you and I'm
878
00:53:13,700 --> 00:53:16,200
basing it on a few things.
I'm basing it on the The fact
879
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:20,600
that, you know, we were this
damn close literally to taking
880
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,300
it back at their house last
year, like, four times that
881
00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:28,800
close one time for ya and ya.
I know they got JT Daniel, but
882
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,400
they haven't named a starter
yet.
883
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,400
This is pretty late.
I don't know if they're playing
884
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:37,200
games with ship with pit on this
or what they're doing at games
885
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,800
at nine days, they better.
But they have they have not been
886
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:45,000
able to starter yet, so if if
that's for real reasons and not
887
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,700
for gamesmanship, Ship.
That's got to be concerning
888
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:50,000
because I think they were
leaning pretty heavy on Daniels
889
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,800
being the guy.
So if he's not actually went out
890
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,900
there and won that job, that's
got to be concerning.
891
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,300
And then you just couple that
with what they lost in the
892
00:54:00,300 --> 00:54:02,300
secondary and the transfer
portal.
893
00:54:03,100 --> 00:54:05,300
I think there's a lot of
opportunities to score more
894
00:54:05,300 --> 00:54:08,500
points this year, on them.
Yeah, and I think if we can do
895
00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:11,800
that, I don't have any
confidence that they're going to
896
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,200
be significantly better on
offense.
897
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,700
Nah, so I think I think we're
able to pull it out.
898
00:54:17,700 --> 00:54:19,400
We're at home.
It's a night game.
899
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,900
It's in Lane.
It's that attersee here.
900
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,800
It's Thursday.
I think there's just there's too
901
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,700
much.
I think lining up against them
902
00:54:27,700 --> 00:54:31,700
both historically and on the
field that I think we can pull
903
00:54:31,700 --> 00:54:34,600
that one out with you.
All right, Brian.
904
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:40,700
So next game again, this is kind
of big Meaning of The Gauntlet
905
00:54:40,700 --> 00:54:44,800
with West, Virginia, game,
travel down to North Carolina.
906
00:54:44,900 --> 00:54:48,300
The next Saturday, what are you
feeling on this one?
907
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,700
This one I've got, I've got UNC
pulling it out.
908
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,900
I know they've got a lot of
question marks at quarterback.
909
00:54:57,900 --> 00:55:02,300
They just named their starter
May is took that job correctly.
910
00:55:02,300 --> 00:55:05,000
Yeah.
I think that's, that's probably
911
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,500
what we expected heading into
the season.
912
00:55:07,500 --> 00:55:10,000
I think he was kind of I think
the guy that was going to be the
913
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:14,300
next man up he's one that job I
think I mean he's a quality
914
00:55:14,300 --> 00:55:20,000
player kind of a bid for Star
type Talent you know I think
915
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,300
they get things going a little
bit better on offense.
916
00:55:22,300 --> 00:55:26,800
I think they're improved enough.
On defense.
917
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:32,600
And we're not playing in
Blacksburg on opening night with
918
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,700
that atmosphere.
So I think you don't get the
919
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:38,700
Boost that we saw last year from
that.
920
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,400
So I think they add you doubt.
I think it's a close one.
921
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,800
I hate picking UNC.
I don't think.
922
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:50,900
I think anybody that's listen to
me on this show understands my
923
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:59,100
level of hatred for UNC so but
There's enough factors there
924
00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:02,000
that are unknown for us and
enough factors for them that
925
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,000
work in their favor.
It's hard for me to in good
926
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,900
conscience, not pick them.
So, that's where I'm at.
927
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,500
Well, whether it's bad,
conscience, maroon glasses,
928
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:13,600
whatever.
I'm picking Tech in this game.
929
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,400
And I think it is because of
Drake May being a first year
930
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,200
stronger.
Yep, that'll be his fourth game.
931
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,600
But right now they're getting
into true, freshman is running
932
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,700
backs.
No one has really come out.
933
00:56:25,700 --> 00:56:28,100
Other than Josh Downs.
At the receiver room.
934
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,000
The offensive line has continued
to have struggles.
935
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,700
The defense at game that we
always talked about it.
936
00:56:34,700 --> 00:56:37,700
I can remember being on here
almost a year ago talking about
937
00:56:37,700 --> 00:56:39,800
if we just had some decent
frickin offensive play calls.
938
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,500
We could have hung over 30 on
that defense last year without
939
00:56:42,500 --> 00:56:45,900
breathing and I don't think
they're going to take that big
940
00:56:45,900 --> 00:56:49,200
of a step under chizik.
I think they are what they are.
941
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:54,700
And when you're going from that,
245 to a base for three Lot of
942
00:56:54,700 --> 00:56:56,400
Things Different.
You talk about guys putting
943
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,800
their hands in the dirt not as
confusing schemes.
944
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,700
So I think that's where we go
and I think take pulls this one
945
00:57:02,700 --> 00:57:06,900
out and I think it's going to
probably be because of a Young
946
00:57:06,900 --> 00:57:09,900
quarterback.
Probably truly facing his first
947
00:57:11,700 --> 00:57:16,100
defense that is going to just
attack and attack and attack and
948
00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:20,500
not pull anything back you know
because you know let's take a
949
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:25,500
Look real quick just so I can
feel better about myself.
950
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,500
They've got Notre Dame the week
before.
951
00:57:32,300 --> 00:57:37,600
Then they had its their FAMU
Appalachian State, which they
952
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,400
could be, that they could lose
that game.
953
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,500
And they can lose to towards.
They could come in one and
954
00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:45,300
three.
And I think if you do that to a
955
00:57:45,300 --> 00:57:48,500
Young quarterback, it will be
shattered and then have a
956
00:57:48,500 --> 00:57:52,600
defense is ready to feast and
let's just go history.
957
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,200
They're foreign, what's four and
14?
958
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,600
Since they've started playing
this every year since 2004.
959
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:06,200
Yeah, I'd we are historically
very good against them, all
960
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:07,800
right.
Even in the evening down years,
961
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,700
we play UNC.
Well, we do.
962
00:58:11,100 --> 00:58:14,000
And if we just started the right
quarterback in 2020, we had to
963
00:58:14,008 --> 00:58:16,800
beat them then to.
Yes, we would have, yes, we
964
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,200
would have in that shootout.
All right.
965
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,700
So I'm at 5 and 0 and you're at
four and one, am I going to do
966
00:58:21,700 --> 00:58:25,500
something stupid?
He's on the stupid here.
967
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:32,300
Are you tell me?
All right, so the next game is
968
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:35,000
at wonderful.
What used to be called Heinz
969
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:40,500
Field in the 8,000.
People that occupy it for the
970
00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:45,300
worst home atmosphere.
Oh, am I being real?
971
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,600
The worst home atmosphere?
Yeah, it's awful college sports,
972
00:58:50,100 --> 00:58:55,000
the Pitt Panthers, And for the
first time I do pick against our
973
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,600
Hokies, I think 80 atmosphere is
one thing.
974
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,600
If you're going into a hostile
environment and Carolina can get
975
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,200
a little loud, it's louder and
petal ever be.
976
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,300
You can get up a little bit so
it's going to, you're going to
977
00:59:09,300 --> 00:59:11,200
go there, it's not going to be
laughs.
978
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,600
I'm gonna be raucous and they
have just a really good
979
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,500
defensive line and I think with
the questions we have on our
980
00:59:17,500 --> 00:59:20,900
offensive line, at this point
we're five games in, you
981
00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:23,300
probably got some Nicks and
bumps maybe some backups
982
00:59:23,300 --> 00:59:27,200
playing.
I do think this one write this
983
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:31,800
down and I'll hope I'm hoping my
prediction is when we get there
984
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,900
exactly like it.
I think it's going to be an
985
00:59:33,900 --> 00:59:37,100
ugly.
Absolute Freaking this fight.
986
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:38,800
It's not gonna be a bunch of
guns.
987
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,000
It's going to be a fist fight in
the trenches, and it's going to
988
00:59:41,008 --> 00:59:44,900
get ugly.
And I do think the Hokies will
989
00:59:44,900 --> 00:59:49,900
hang, but I just think that
defense will get us in the end.
990
00:59:51,300 --> 00:59:53,800
Yeah, I mean whether aside I
think it's going to be almost
991
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,600
like an opposite of what we saw
when we were at that at Budds
992
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,000
last game in 2019, it's going to
be kind of that that tight
993
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:07,300
asshole game ball and I think,
unfortunately because the pitch
994
01:00:07,300 --> 01:00:11,500
trenches, they are more
experienced in the trenches than
995
01:00:11,500 --> 01:00:13,800
we are, especially on the
defensive line.
996
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:19,400
Think they've got enough on the
back end, to keep us honest and
997
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,800
I think they're going to end up
pulling the wind there, but I
998
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,500
don't, I don't think they're
going to run away with it.
999
01:00:23,500 --> 01:00:26,300
This isn't going to be those
ugly pit.
1000
01:00:26,300 --> 01:00:30,800
Blowouts that we've seen in
recent memory last year and back
1001
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,700
in 1828, seven.
And what 56:23 something like
1002
01:00:34,700 --> 01:00:37,000
that.
Yeah I think this is going to be
1003
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,900
a lot more of a truth back
street brawl.
1004
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:46,500
All right, let's flip next run.
We've got Miami coming into
1005
01:00:46,500 --> 01:00:49,500
town.
It's going to be a crisp October
1006
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:53,700
day mid-october.
Miami.
1007
01:00:53,700 --> 01:00:55,300
Highly ranked most people
picking them, the wind, the
1008
01:00:55,300 --> 01:00:58,500
coastal Van Dyke, getting a ton
of Love.
1009
01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:01,200
Crystal ball, getting a tunnel
of their recruiting flying off.
1010
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,200
Looks like they're about to get
a new state in which I really
1011
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,600
hope they do put a stadium
closer to where the campus is
1012
01:01:07,100 --> 01:01:09,800
the Orange Bowl.
We've talked with divide big
1013
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,600
man, loved playing their love
beating them there.
1014
01:01:13,500 --> 01:01:16,500
I hope they get something that's
similar to that because that had
1015
01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:18,400
a great atmosphere.
I can remember watching those
1016
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,100
games when we were younger, but
let's flip this one in
1017
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:23,100
Blacksburg.
What do you Say on this one
1018
01:01:23,100 --> 01:01:27,000
brand.
Love is in Blacksburg but I hate
1019
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,100
that.
It's a team that I think finally
1020
01:01:29,100 --> 01:01:34,800
has found the leadership to go
with the recruiting that they've
1021
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:39,600
been doing, you know really I
mean for a long time, right?
1022
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,000
They've always had players.
They've always had dudes.
1023
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,500
I think they finally got the
right combination of Coach.
1024
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:49,200
Again I think this is going to
be the team.
1025
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,800
That's going to be the measuring
stick along with Clemson for
1026
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,300
Virginia Tech success going
forward.
1027
01:01:54,500 --> 01:01:56,800
Forward.
I don't think we win this one,
1028
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,300
but I think this is a game that
if we can kind of stick around
1029
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:05,200
and hang around and make it ugly
and stick there with it, to the
1030
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,100
end, that's going to say,
something about this team and
1031
01:02:08,100 --> 01:02:10,300
kind of put us in a good footing
going forward.
1032
01:02:10,300 --> 01:02:12,900
But I don't think we have the,
the horses to win this one.
1033
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,100
Yeah, and I mentioned on the
panel last, we could, you know,
1034
01:02:17,100 --> 01:02:21,700
with this game if you beat them,
great, I can't see us doing
1035
01:02:21,700 --> 01:02:23,900
that, not right now.
They do have a lot of talent
1036
01:02:23,900 --> 01:02:27,300
like you said.
The crystal ball leadership, a
1037
01:02:27,300 --> 01:02:32,400
good quarterback, they have the
talent there to beat us, but
1038
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:36,100
it's the measuring stick game.
If you get in there and you make
1039
01:02:36,100 --> 01:02:40,300
it a war for four quarters and
even if they beat you, everybody
1040
01:02:40,300 --> 01:02:43,400
looks at you again, right?
Well, this team is supposed to
1041
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,100
be rebuilding and they're
already.
1042
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,700
They're fighting one of the best
in the conference to the end.
1043
01:02:47,700 --> 01:02:51,100
And they're forcing them to
barely get a squeaker on the
1044
01:02:51,107 --> 01:02:53,300
road.
That's what it is to me.
1045
01:02:53,300 --> 01:02:56,600
Miami wins the game.
Game but this is the game that
1046
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:01,500
if you tell me, you know, six
months or four months from now
1047
01:03:01,500 --> 01:03:04,600
we're talking about the game of
the year, it's to me it could be
1048
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,500
this one.
All right.
1049
01:03:07,500 --> 01:03:11,000
So then we get a bye week on the
week of the 22nd.
1050
01:03:11,500 --> 01:03:15,400
And when we get a trip down to
Raleigh on a Thursday night.
1051
01:03:15,700 --> 01:03:19,800
ESPN, another Thursday night
game with NC State.
1052
01:03:21,300 --> 01:03:25,800
I hope people don't hate me for
this, but it's NC State and some
1053
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,900
people like nothing.
Remember of, for always painful
1054
01:03:29,900 --> 01:03:33,500
enough for remember that game
and that we could not get above
1055
01:03:33,500 --> 01:03:36,200
13 points.
I know they had a good defense.
1056
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:41,100
But I think this year they're
just too balanced and so.
1057
01:03:41,100 --> 01:03:44,500
So think about the losses so
far, I have probably the best
1058
01:03:44,500 --> 01:03:46,400
defense.
We're going to play, probably
1059
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,800
the best offense, we're going to
play and probably the best
1060
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:50,700
balanced team.
We're going to play with
1061
01:03:50,700 --> 01:03:52,500
offensive weapons.
Good on defense.
1062
01:03:52,500 --> 01:03:56,500
I think we drop in Sea State.
I don't think this will be a
1063
01:03:56,508 --> 01:03:59,100
measure stick game.
I think it will be a good game.
1064
01:03:59,100 --> 01:04:01,900
Just knowing David orange style
and Brent price style.
1065
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,400
But I think because they are
loaded with a lot of Older
1066
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:07,600
folks.
Good quarterback.
1067
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,000
I think they do get us.
Yeah, I agree with you.
1068
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,100
I think, I think they definitely
take us down.
1069
01:04:13,500 --> 01:04:16,200
I don't think it's a blowout,
but I do think it's one of those
1070
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:20,600
games where NC State probably
handles us, start to finish.
1071
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:25,000
It kind of keeps us at arm's,
length, start to finish, just
1072
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,000
because of their bounds.
Like you said, I think they've
1073
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,900
got a really good defense,
especially in the trenches and
1074
01:04:30,900 --> 01:04:34,700
they have weapons on offense,
especially the guy that's
1075
01:04:34,700 --> 01:04:36,200
pulling the trigger at
quarterback.
1076
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:39,300
I think that's just going to be
a little too much for us to
1077
01:04:39,300 --> 01:04:42,300
overcome.
I think that's a game where if
1078
01:04:42,300 --> 01:04:44,300
we want to have the potential to
win that game.
1079
01:04:44,300 --> 01:04:50,100
We've got a strike early, get
ahead, get a lead and make them
1080
01:04:50,100 --> 01:04:52,600
have to get out of their game
plan.
1081
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:54,700
And I don't think we're able to
do that.
1082
01:04:54,700 --> 01:04:55,800
So I think that's why we're
going to.
1083
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,400
We're going to lose that one.
Yeah, I think with the NC State
1084
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,200
game as not compared to the
Pittsburgh or Miami game.
1085
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:06,400
I think the pit NC State game.
We have to play our best a
1086
01:05:06,408 --> 01:05:09,800
football game.
I think that, you know, can we
1087
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,200
can we beat Miami and pit?
Yeah, I don't think we can.
1088
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,800
I don't think we have to play
our best football games, those
1089
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:18,200
games to pull wins.
NC State's just to balance to
1090
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,400
not be on and every facet.
All right, Braun.
1091
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,400
So you're the four-game losing
streak.
1092
01:05:24,500 --> 01:05:28,500
I'm at a three-game losing
streak and the first week,
1093
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,100
November 5th.
Remember, remember the fifth of
1094
01:05:31,100 --> 01:05:34,200
November Georgia Tech roles in
Tulane Stadium.
1095
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:40,400
What do you think on this one?
I think that they're about to
1096
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,600
look like the cat's V for
Vendetta killed on.
1097
01:05:45,900 --> 01:05:48,600
Yeah, I think Georgia Tech some
get wax this game.
1098
01:05:48,700 --> 01:05:53,600
I think Jeff Collins is going to
already have his pants Ablaze
1099
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,300
from that Hot Seat by this point
in the season and this is going
1100
01:05:57,300 --> 01:06:02,500
to maybe be the one that pushes
them over the edge and we get a
1101
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:06,100
mid-november firing like we had
with with went a last year.
1102
01:06:06,100 --> 01:06:10,000
So Yeah, Ron takes GT.
I'm right there.
1103
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,700
That that place is a train wreck
right now.
1104
01:06:12,700 --> 01:06:17,800
So many guys leaving.
What was it that some of the
1105
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,400
classes from three years ago
aren't even in there too deep?
1106
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,700
That's that's bad.
That's yeah.
1107
01:06:24,700 --> 01:06:28,700
I mean that's bad evaluation and
then development.
1108
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:32,100
They're not developing and add
to that.
1109
01:06:32,100 --> 01:06:35,000
Like at some point.
They, you know, you had that you
1110
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,600
had the height recruiting
classes.
1111
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,500
And now, none of those guys are
playing.
1112
01:06:38,900 --> 01:06:41,500
They're going with the guys that
were playing a Transformer.
1113
01:06:43,100 --> 01:06:47,300
So yeah, I think that's a That's
a big one.
1114
01:06:47,300 --> 01:06:50,700
I think, I think, I think with
you that we smash them, I think
1115
01:06:50,700 --> 01:06:52,300
we smash them.
I think that's an ugly game.
1116
01:06:52,300 --> 01:06:56,200
I think after a losing streak
to, I think we make it.
1117
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,000
We make an example out of them,
and if he's not fired before,
1118
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:03,900
then he will be after that game.
All right, 11:12, the next week,
1119
01:07:03,900 --> 01:07:06,700
we go down to Duke, where I know
there is going to probably be
1120
01:07:06,700 --> 01:07:09,700
anywhere between 20 and 30
orange.
1121
01:07:09,700 --> 01:07:14,500
And maroon fans down there
because it is officially Lane
1122
01:07:14,500 --> 01:07:21,100
Stadium South when it comes to
the games, due to the rebuild.
1123
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:25,900
Do you know, they're essentially
where Georgia Tech's going to be
1124
01:07:25,900 --> 01:07:29,000
next year.
They don't have a lot Elko
1125
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:34,000
slowly trying to build it and
think about the team, I mean, we
1126
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,500
play our best game of the year,
against them last year, six and
1127
01:07:37,500 --> 01:07:40,400
six and blew them out by 30.
It wasn't even a game.
1128
01:07:40,700 --> 01:07:45,000
So I think, you know,
back-to-back wins after a rough
1129
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,000
stretch.
Tech easily takes care of do on
1130
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,100
the road.
Yeah, I agree.
1131
01:07:50,100 --> 01:07:54,300
And I think arguably the roster
is worse this year than it was
1132
01:07:54,300 --> 01:07:57,500
last year.
Even though I think Elko is the
1133
01:07:57,500 --> 01:08:00,500
guy and I think elk is the guy
that will get them at least back
1134
01:08:00,500 --> 01:08:08,300
to respectability these, if not,
you know, the highs that we saw
1135
01:08:08,300 --> 01:08:11,700
during cut Cliffs rain there,
but I think he'll at least get
1136
01:08:11,700 --> 01:08:13,600
them back to respectability, but
this isn't the year.
1137
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,100
He doesn't have the horses.
Like I said, it's a word.
1138
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,600
It's roster top to bottom than
it was last year.
1139
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:21,300
And I think that was that is
Georgia Tech's.
1140
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,800
Not as bad as I was saying what
I'm saying, relative to their
1141
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:29,800
roster.
Yeah, yeah.
1142
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,200
So I think, I think Virginia
Tech handles us when I think
1143
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:36,500
that's good, good back-to-back
wins there to kind of set them
1144
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:39,000
up for that.
Stretch, run in Virginia.
1145
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:44,399
Absolutely two games in.
Virginia, on the 19th of
1146
01:08:44,399 --> 01:08:49,200
November, the Hokies, Travel
down 462 Lynchburg,
1147
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,300
unfortunately, to play the
Liberty Flames.
1148
01:08:51,300 --> 01:08:53,200
There you go.
Put them up.
1149
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,200
Why are we playing this game on
the road?
1150
01:08:55,500 --> 01:08:59,399
I also as much as we're going to
have down at Duke, I think.
1151
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,700
What's the size of that Stadium?
I've watched a couple games,
1152
01:09:03,700 --> 01:09:07,000
they don't sell out.
They might have, I want to say
1153
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,000
it's a 35 or 40 thousand seat
stadium.
1154
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,100
And they might have 15 or 20 in
there.
1155
01:09:11,500 --> 01:09:15,000
I mean it's bigger than ODU, but
not by much, but not by much.
1156
01:09:15,500 --> 01:09:20,800
Alright, I gotta, I gotta effort
this before you go, you go.
1157
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,100
What do you think?
I will go.
1158
01:09:22,100 --> 01:09:28,500
I will go while you're efforting
I hate to say this, but this is
1159
01:09:28,500 --> 01:09:35,700
a seven and five team last year
that lost 75% of their offensive
1160
01:09:35,700 --> 01:09:38,899
production.
I do not care how good Charlie
1161
01:09:38,899 --> 01:09:42,100
Brewer is he is not replacing
that production?
1162
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:46,700
No, he's then, I think and I
think if any pleased that
1163
01:09:46,700 --> 01:09:51,800
November That yeah, that too
Charlie Brooker.
1164
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:56,000
Probably is not making it to
November to even play in this
1165
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,800
game.
But if he does, he's not Malik
1166
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,600
Willis, he does not get it done.
Hokies take care of business in
1167
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,300
Lynchburg and we set up for the
Commonwealth cup.
1168
01:10:06,300 --> 01:10:09,300
The next week.
I'm with you 25,000 seat
1169
01:10:09,300 --> 01:10:10,900
Stadium.
I've seen it a couple times.
1170
01:10:10,900 --> 01:10:13,200
It's probably 15 to 18 thousand
there.
1171
01:10:14,100 --> 01:10:17,100
I have a feeling that will be a
lot of orange and maroon on the
1172
01:10:17,100 --> 01:10:20,000
road as well.
I'm going to pick the Hokies and
1173
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,000
I am hoping as I hope with the
ODU game and I hope with the
1174
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,500
wall for game and is Don be
eloquently put in where I think
1175
01:10:26,500 --> 01:10:32,900
everybody on that panel, agreed
squash them, squash them, squash
1176
01:10:32,900 --> 01:10:37,000
them, make them not want to
break curfew on Saturday night,
1177
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:42,700
at Liberty, foot on the throat.
But on throat, just smash.
1178
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,200
And again Charlie Brooker.
Yeah he played last year.
1179
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,200
He quit on his team.
Charlie Brewer has like ten
1180
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,700
concussions Charlie.
Brew is not making it to
1181
01:10:50,700 --> 01:10:55,700
November and for god sakes I
agree.
1182
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,900
Like if you're if you're a coach
like you were going to send you
1183
01:10:59,900 --> 01:11:02,600
out there knowing if this kid
takes one more bad head, he's
1184
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,800
not going to be able to have
kids or even communicate.
1185
01:11:05,900 --> 01:11:09,800
By the time he's in his mid-30s
You can't have that many
1186
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:13,100
concussions Jesus.
Alright?
1187
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:19,100
So Commonwealth cut Braun.
I am, I'm leaving here and this
1188
01:11:19,100 --> 01:11:24,100
is all I'm going to say in the
last 22 years.
1189
01:11:26,300 --> 01:11:31,200
One team has won. 21 team is 12.
It's mental tech.
1190
01:11:32,500 --> 01:11:36,400
Wins.
I'm right there with you.
1191
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,300
I think I think Ted can pull
this one out.
1192
01:11:38,300 --> 01:11:42,500
I think, when you look at This
offense.
1193
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,900
I think they are still going to
be one-dimensional.
1194
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:52,200
I think they probably have one
of the five best wide receiver
1195
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,400
cores.
And you couple that with their
1196
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:58,200
quarterback, a top-15 passing
offense.
1197
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:05,400
But I don't think that that is
going to equate to enough to
1198
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,700
compensate for their lack of
running game.
1199
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:10,700
It's not going to compensate for
their lack of offensive line,
1200
01:12:10,700 --> 01:12:12,100
death.
Depth and its really gonna
1201
01:12:12,100 --> 01:12:16,000
compensate for their poor
defense, especially the
1202
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,600
secondary.
They still can't get enough pass
1203
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,400
rush to cover that big-ass flaw.
That's going to be the
1204
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:26,200
difference in the game.
Well yeah, I'm and I'm going to
1205
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,700
give a little more insight.
It's the the o-line, they
1206
01:12:29,700 --> 01:12:32,300
literally lost a couple of their
bus offensive linemen.
1207
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,700
They lost some of their best
coaches on the offensive side of
1208
01:12:35,700 --> 01:12:40,800
the ball and as good as Brennan
as good as that core is, he's
1209
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,500
okay.
Shit knocked out a lot this
1210
01:12:42,500 --> 01:12:45,000
year.
And I can already see Brent Pro
1211
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,200
basically, say, I'm gonna
probably send six or seven and
1212
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,100
you're going to have to get rid
of that ball really quick, or
1213
01:12:50,100 --> 01:12:51,200
you're going to get hit even
more.
1214
01:12:52,100 --> 01:12:57,600
And, as bad as that defense was
last year, I don't think it's an
1215
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,000
overnight fix.
I don't think a coach comes in
1216
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:05,100
and hits the magic button and
goes from being 129th to being
1217
01:13:05,100 --> 01:13:09,300
in the 70s where you can be
respectable, it does it work
1218
01:13:09,300 --> 01:13:12,900
like that?
Not Without talent and they are
1219
01:13:12,900 --> 01:13:15,400
deprived of Talent on the
defensive side of the ball.
1220
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,700
So I picked Tech wins this one
as well as I said earlier.
1221
01:13:19,900 --> 01:13:22,100
So Brian, let's tally it up
here.
1222
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:26,600
How many you got what you got?
I'm going to even for ceiling
1223
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:31,300
for the Hokies in 2022.
I'm at 9:00 and 3:00 what a
1224
01:13:31,308 --> 01:13:33,800
shocker.
I'm back at 93 again, as the
1225
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:40,000
ceiling, Nice Shot, not shocked.
Next we get a lesson, I will
1226
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:44,000
always is As much as I love
coaching staff has gone three
1227
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,900
games last year that could
easily turn the right way.
1228
01:13:46,900 --> 01:13:51,100
It would have been 9 and 3 so it
is what it is.
1229
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:55,400
But listen, y'all.
So these are our ceilings, but,
1230
01:13:55,500 --> 01:13:58,000
let's just be very honest.
There is a floor.
1231
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,700
We specially with this team with
the death, and we are not
1232
01:14:01,700 --> 01:14:05,100
foolish and Brian.
I'm going to since we're
1233
01:14:05,100 --> 01:14:07,500
matching on this, I'm gonna let
you make a statement on behalf
1234
01:14:07,500 --> 01:14:09,800
of the boundary Corner podcast
hour.
1235
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,700
Floor for this team because this
is mine as well as Brian's.
1236
01:14:14,700 --> 01:14:16,800
Yeah.
The the floor for this team is
1237
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:20,800
five and seven.
I don't see us going below.
1238
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,800
Five wins.
I think there's just enough.
1239
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:28,500
Winnable games on our schedule
and we don't travel enough to
1240
01:14:28,500 --> 01:14:32,100
really feel like this is an
awful team.
1241
01:14:32,100 --> 01:14:35,000
This is a team that even with
some injuries can just fall off
1242
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,800
the map.
You know, when we talk about the
1243
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:42,100
games that are amenable All on
paper out, the gate you're
1244
01:14:42,100 --> 01:14:45,400
looking at ODU, you're looking
at Wofford, you know, you're
1245
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,600
looking at Duke and Georgia
Tech.
1246
01:14:47,900 --> 01:14:51,500
Liberty is a very winnable game
when you look at games that are
1247
01:14:51,500 --> 01:14:55,300
kind of in that toss-up category
you've got BC, you got West
1248
01:14:55,300 --> 01:15:00,700
Virginia, you got UVA piss you
and see, you can throw pin and
1249
01:15:00,700 --> 01:15:03,000
you would see that conversation
as well.
1250
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:06,300
But I think, in terms of true
toss-ups, I think that those
1251
01:15:06,300 --> 01:15:08,500
those games are still in that
category.
1252
01:15:08,500 --> 01:15:12,400
So you got The roughly seven
games that are either toss-up,
1253
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,600
so you're going to be favored.
I think we at least get five of
1254
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:20,200
those even with some of the
flaws of this team and even with
1255
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:24,200
some things like injuries
impacting this roster as the
1256
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,400
season goes along, that's the
way to sum it up.
1257
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:31,500
Injuries again, if this team
stays clean injury-wise, and
1258
01:15:31,500 --> 01:15:35,700
when I say clean injury-wise, a
guy can miss a week, okay?
1259
01:15:35,700 --> 01:15:37,100
We can, we can live with that
guy.
1260
01:15:37,100 --> 01:15:40,000
Missing a month on certain
aspects.
1261
01:15:40,100 --> 01:15:45,400
We cannot William McCallum out
there orange significant injury,
1262
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:50,700
going eight, and for stealing
947, who that floor of seven.
1263
01:15:50,700 --> 01:15:54,700
I've hoped to get to say that
next year and I get to go like
1264
01:15:54,700 --> 01:15:58,800
ceiling of 10 or 11.
And next year, I'll be maybe a
1265
01:15:58,808 --> 01:16:02,800
little bit more tanked up, but
when you're when you're talking
1266
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:06,100
floor of seven, you're talking
about being confident a team
1267
01:16:06,100 --> 01:16:09,800
number one, winning all of the
matchups, they should win number
1268
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,500
two.
Probably at least splitting the
1269
01:16:11,500 --> 01:16:15,000
toss-ups number 3.
Probably at least punching up in
1270
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:16,500
one game, right?
And one game.
1271
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:17,700
Yep.
I don't know if we're quite
1272
01:16:17,700 --> 01:16:21,200
there yet, but I mean, I
appreciate the optimism at this
1273
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:25,700
point, you know?
I think if you're not optimistic
1274
01:16:25,700 --> 01:16:29,500
in in August, you're not going
to be optimistic at all.
1275
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,600
So, if you're not optimistic in
August here either, let's think
1276
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:38,800
like a temple fan Jets fan Jags
fan.
1277
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:45,400
Who else Texans?
You're a fan of a team where
1278
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:49,400
it's just like, we want a good
draft pick or can just see, I'm
1279
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,400
just watching because I need a
reason, you're a Duke football
1280
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:58,900
fan, I need a reason to drink on
Saturdays and football games on
1281
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,300
and we're losing, it makes me
drink more, I mean that happens.
1282
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:07,800
It happens front, anything
broken in the last hour and 20
1283
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:11,900
minutes, nothing, That's popped
across my timeline buddy.
1284
01:17:11,900 --> 01:17:15,000
I think we're good to to wrap it
on up and all right.
