In this special episode we joined forces with Two Deep, Sons of Saturday, Tales from the TerrorDome and other special guests to talk Spring Game weekend and breakdown what we were looking for heading into the Spring Game. This episode is packed with everything from position battles, up and coming stars, and whether or not you should be playing Enter Sandman at the tailgate.
1
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,000

fellas up here to help me out
7
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,600

00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,300
together some of the independent
voices, that cover Virginia Tech
9
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:11,200
Athletics, get different
perspectives and that's what
10
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,300
this show is going to be all
about.
11
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:14,900
So I'm proud to introduce, Brian
and JT.
12
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:17,300
The boundary Corner podcast.
What up, what up?
13
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:20,800
We got Dan from the tales of the
Terrordome podcast year and you
14
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,900
all know my last guest, former
Virginia Tech offensive lineman
15
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:26,900

One of the founding members of
16
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:29,900
Sons of Saturday, Billy Ray
Mitchell people putting this
17
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,000
together, his introduction was
way better than mine.
18
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,900
We thought.
Oh, well listen, last night was
19
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:40,400
awesome.
We are at the spring Jam, the
20
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,300
sun's put that event on over at
McLean's on First and Main.
21
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,000
And I had a blast You guys have
any Reflections on the night.
22
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
How was it Go Dan man?
That that shit was like a blur
23
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:55,100
but it was a great time.
Billy Pat, everybody was sons of
24
00:01:55,107 --> 00:01:56,900
Saturday put on a hell of an
event.
25
00:01:56,900 --> 00:01:58,700
You know.
Damn Marshall did his thing.
26
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:01,900
David Wilson was there The Who's
Who of hokey Twitter was in the
27
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:03,600
building.
So it was a good time man.
28
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:07,600
I had a good time, there's a lot
of Southside Virginia
29
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,300
connections there with the
Edmonds, there had David Wilson
30
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:14,400
there.
So being a Halifax native that
31
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,100
was big for me, getting to hang
out with those guys and again,
32
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,600
appreciate Billy and Pat for
putting that on as pretty,
33
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,600
pretty fun.
Hell yeah, it was I knew was
34
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,600
going to be a good day.
When I walked in a shark.
35
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,100
He's at 4:00 p.m. yesterday and
saw Kam Chancellor sitting.
36
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:30,800
At the bar, I was like, okay,
this is this is the all the
37
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,900
former players were out.
It was, it was awesome.
38
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,000
So again The sons are doing
work, we talked about on our
39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,900
podcast couple weeks ago, how
they put some players on their
40
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:42,000
platform and stuff.
And I'm, I'm not trying to Hype
41
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,300
Billy up too much, but your this
weekend, you guys are doing your
42
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:47,400
thing, man.
It's been awesome.
43
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,600
Yeah, I think the athletic
department has done such a good
44
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,900
job of encouraging, folks, to
come back for the, for those to
45
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:55,000
come golf event, buddy.
Bryce chocolate.
46
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,100
Does a phenomenal job at that
and really just want to make
47
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:59,600
sure that everybody gets to meet
everybody because a lot of these
48
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,100
players.
You think they know each other?
49
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,000
It was Michael Brewers first
time back to school since Priya
50
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,100
covid and he came back and he
was able to meet hangout Sean
51
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:10,600
Glennon, again, for the first
time since he was at school
52
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,700
year.
So not just the opportunity to
53
00:03:12,708 --> 00:03:14,500
come back.
But the opportunity for folks
54
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:19,000
that played in the 2000s, 2010's
2020s back in the 90s to all get
55
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,200
to meet each other.
And create, those relationships
56
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,900
is really important and to me
the spring weekend is a little
57
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:26,500
bit.
Underrated, is it the best
58
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:29,500
weekend in Blacksburg?
If you don't go to school here,
59
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:31,900
because you get to see everybody
who cares about go to the spring
60
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,800
game without having to deal with
60,000 70,000.
61
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:37,200
Being here and you can't get
into a bar, you can't go
62
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,200
anywhere.
So whether it's been great,
63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,800
everybody's back in town,
anyone, great.
64
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,600
I appreciate everybody that
showed out and everybody who
65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,000
made it possible.
So we finally got the spring
66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,500
game format yesterday and in
years past, sometimes it's been
67
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
more of almost drills than a
real game, but Pride told us
68
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,200
that we're going to have even
teams today for the game.
69
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,700
Last year, they split up the
teams and one of the team's
70
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:02,900
wasn't very good.
So hopefully it's a little bit
71
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:05,200
better this year.
One of the things we'll sorry.
72
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:09,700
What, what do you guys think
about today's game?
73
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:12,000
Are you like, do you expect to
see something fun?
74
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,500
Are you just going to try?
Just need to, I just need to see
75
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,000
somebody do.
Something exciting.
76
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:19,399
I mean this is spring game.
You got people playing a lot of
77
00:04:19,407 --> 00:04:21,899
different positions moving
around all spring.
78
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,600
I just need to see somebody.
Like, I don't know, knock,
79
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,300
somebody's helmet off, run for a
50-yard touchdown, do something.
80
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:33,900
I don't need to see somebody a
certain number throw five Peaks
81
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:38,100
or if he does throw five picks,
we can kill the quarterback
82
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:40,600
controversy.
Yeah well that's that's a good
83
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,200
thing.
You brought that up because I
84
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,000
want to transition into some of
the position battles were.
85
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:48,700
In N, some of the positions
especially on defense kind of
86
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:52,000
seemed clear cut, but
offensively and other places on
87
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,700
the field.
It's not so clear.
88
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,400
So what what, in particular
position battles Brian?
89
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,000
Are you looking at today?
So me, I'm looking at who's
90
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,600
going to fill in in that Right
Guard spot.
91
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:07,600
You know, we've seen word of
Jesse handsome working in there,
92
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:09,500
we've seen a couple other guys
working in there.
93
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:12,700
I'm looking at that spot and
obviously quarterback is top of
94
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:15,100
the list, trying to see how
that's going to play out.
95
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:19,200
I think we all know it's going
to carry over into the fall but
96
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:22,100
I feel like this is kind of the
kind of the first time that
97
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:23,500
we're going to see them out
there.
98
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,600
This is this is where the
competition really starts.
99
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:29,100
Yeah, I want to ask you guys
about drones and Wells.
100
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:32,900
That's obviously the thing that
most people are buzzword of the
101
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:35,100
last three weeks or four weeks.
Yeah.
102
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,800
Yeah.
Next, let's Wells can be
103
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,100
triggering, right?
Some people.
104
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:41,300
They never want to see him.
Throw another Pastor Virginia
105
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,400
Tech.
I got PTSD, I'm not in that
106
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,400
camp.
I That he struggled mightily, I
107
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,000
don't think the coaches did him
any favors.
108
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,300
I don't think the talented him.
Any favors when we start this
109
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:55,100
season, though?
Dan who do you think is going to
110
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:56,500
be q b?
1 week 1.
111
00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:58,900
I know it's a little hard to
project but I need you to give
112
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:00,500
me some kind of thought process
on it.
113
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,200
I mean honestly I think it'll be
drones because I don't think Ali
114
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,900
Jennings came here to play with
Grant Wheels to be honest.
115
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:10,100
I don't think that's what sold
among Tech, but I went to
116
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:13,900
Marshall, I had a little soft
spot for Grant but after last
117
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:15,800
year, I just don't think Don't
know man.
118
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,600
I think I saw enough.
I'm like and I mean I've we got
119
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,800
better Playmakers this year that
I get separation but I still
120
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,700
like I think it's kind drones is
the guy needs to be the guy.
121
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:27,900
That's what I need to see.
That's what I'm hoping to see
122
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:32,000
today, you know, like at least
some competitiveness at the
123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
quarterback position because
last spring game it was kind of
124
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,800
clear that that Jason Brown.
No offense.
125
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,600
Great dude.
Wasn't going to cut it.
126
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,200
You know, he wasn't going to
push Grant Wells.
127
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:45,000
So yeah, and with Wells like he
could be better this year, he
128
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,500
could develop in the offseason
and and maybe the bow and switch
129
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:51,200
will help him and the new
offensive line will help him and
130
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,700
the wide receivers as you
mentioned.
131
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:58,100
But up when we get into fall
Camp I'm thinking it's gonna be
132
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,300
drones.
It's going to make that push.
133
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,000
Like it's not happening right
now because Wells has played a
134
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,700
lot more football than Chiron,
drones.
135
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,200
But you're right, we have these
wide receivers and we have
136
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,000
basically two guys that came in
jail.
137
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:14,500
Lane and Ali Jennings.
Those are the two big names, but
138
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:18,300
beyond that, for Grant or
drones, who's going to be that
139
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:22,300
345 receiver, because he needs
more than just that the two I
140
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:24,200
believe that those two guys will
be out there despite and
141
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,800
abettors depth chart I think
Lane and Jennings will be out
142
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,000
there.
Tally was good, you know, he put
143
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,600
that jump shot out and y'all
freaking lost your minds in the
144
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,400
spring, in the middle of spring,
when Andy better, put it out.
145
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,800
But I mean I'm glad that he put
it out because it gives you just
146
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,000
a different look to show you
that you have.
147
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:44,600
You have so many wide receivers
that are pushing for playing
148
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,300
time.
So, you know, Holloway Gosnell,
149
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,300
I'd like to see all of those
Moss as well as the transfers
150
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:54,900
that come in.
Like, I think there's a spot for
151
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:58,400
everybody to get sunburned.
I mean, last year, we had throw
152
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,500
it up and hope Caleb Smith gets
it.
153
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,400
You know?
I mean, I was our office last
154
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,700
year.
I've been encouraged by the
155
00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:05,500
stuff.
I'm hearing about God's Nell and
156
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:10,900
Moss, but last year, we heard a
lot about Dwayne Lofton and now,
157
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,700
Not didn't work out, right?
Like we he didn't do a whole
158
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:14,600
lot.
I mean there was a few
159
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,700
touchdowns here and there a
couple dropped passes that were
160
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:21,500
important here and there.
So it's hard to believe right
161
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,100
now with moss and the Gosnell
hype Holloway.
162
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:28,400
We saw him do some stuff last
year so that that encourages me.
163
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,600
So if Brian you got to pick a
number three receiver who's it
164
00:08:32,608 --> 00:08:36,200
going to be Jimmy felt felt you
think it's going to be felt?
165
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,000
I haven't heard much about
Felton this spring.
166
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:40,700
You know, looking at him his
body type.
167
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:43,400
I feel like he kind of does a
little bit of what Caleb Smith
168
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,500
does did for us last year.
Bigger body tight, I think he's
169
00:08:46,508 --> 00:08:49,100
gonna be a red zone threat, and
I feel like he's gonna be a good
170
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:51,100
complement to what I like
Jennings brings on the other
171
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:53,800
side there and then went laying
can do in the slot.
172
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:56,200
Yeah, that's my big thing is
that I feel like it's a good
173
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,200
compliment for that three
receiver set.
174
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,400
Well, we got a bunch of big guys
up here.
175
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,600
So, I kind of wanted to talk
about offensive line.
176
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,200
And you mentioned, Jesse Hansen
moving over and block.
177
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,400
None of us can a lot of meat, a
lot of meetings.
178
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:11,300
I was with Pete saying but we
got.
179
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:12,800
I mean Billy played offensive
line.
180
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,100
Brian.
You played a little offensive
181
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,600
line.
And so like your perspective
182
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,100
like last year, the offensive
line was so bad, it was one of
183
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:21,800
the reasons, great, well
struggled so much.
184
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:26,200
So what do you think went wrong?
And do you think this new 10
185
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:29,600
line coach hire will actually
help out this year, and Billy,
186
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,200
I'll turn to you first.
Yeah, I think a couple of things
187
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,700
happen, I think going into the
year, we knew that that unit
188
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:39,100
wasn't going to be fantastic.
It was going to be Desta.
189
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,700
And I like, coach Rudolph came
in with a lot of hype.
190
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:43,700
And my personal opinion on Coach
Rudolph.
191
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:46,000
Is he had he was here for a
year.
192
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:49,400
He did a tremendous job at his
previous school, which he was at
193
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,400
for 10 or 15 years.
So, to go ahead and watch this
194
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,900
one year where we openly were
saying that everybody involved
195
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:58,200
in the program, whether it was
coaches players, everybody else.
196
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,900
Everything was changing, people
are learning on the Fly and
197
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:03,400
You're Expecting to see a
dramatic improvement over a
198
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,400
short period of time.
It's not going to work that way.
199
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,200
So it's not as much about who is
Is it going to be that we're
200
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,800
able to roll out there?
I would say that guard spot is
201
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,200
probably my biggest concern.
I know going into it it was the
202
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,300
center spot but can the unit
play together.
203
00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:22,000
Well and is the offensive
coaching staff all going to be
204
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,600
on the same page because it
seems like Bowen and Coach
205
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,200
Rudolph had a little bit of skin
that schematic all differences
206
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:30,000
and we're just going to have to
see what happens.
207
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,200
And that's why I really think
Grant Wells has been kind of the
208
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,200
Target that we've placed on,
okay.
209
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,900
Our offense was our offense
struggled last year, Well
210
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:43,400
struggled, but so did absolutely
everybody on the field and with
211
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,900
the roster thing and everything
else, it's very easy to see Ali
212
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:48,500
Jennings.
Some of these transfers play at
213
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:51,400
their previous school and expect
0, that is the production that
214
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,700
we are going to get a Virginia
Tech.
215
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:54,900
And it's also easy to go back
and watch Virginia Tech games
216
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:57,200
last year and say, oh well, this
guy sucks.
217
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,900
So this guy's good at this guy's
bag.
218
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,400
I don't know what it's gonna
look like.
219
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,200
The spring game is gonna give
you a little bit of any get, get
220
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,300
them to get out there and play.
They're going to run about 6 to
221
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:08,000
10 different plays.
So you're not gonna get a real
222
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,300
good look.
At the scheme.
223
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:13,200
But based upon who plays in that
first quarter and about met hit,
224
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,400
Midway through the second
quarter.
225
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,200
Those the guys that are probably
we're looking to give an
226
00:11:16,208 --> 00:11:19,100
opportunity to and then second
half, you get a chance to see
227
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:20,900
all the young guys, and who
might be a bright star in a
228
00:11:20,908 --> 00:11:24,200
couple of years.
Well, on offensive line, like
229
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:26,200
you mentioned about Joe Rudolph
and it didn't go.
230
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,300
Well, last year, it was more
than not good.
231
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:30,500
It was, it was one of the worst
offensive lines.
232
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:32,500
We probably have seen
performance-wise.
233
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:35,000
Now, the guys themselves might
actually be better.
234
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
I know Parker Clements was
dealing with an injury.
235
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000
The scheme changed In and week
out at least it seemed that way
236
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,100
to me, they, but with crook
coming in he seems to be running
237
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:48,600
this Zone scheme.
That might be a little easier
238
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,800
for these guys to absorb.
Can you speak on that a little
239
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,200
bit run?
Yeah, just so looking at the,
240
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,200
the skiing the crook does.
I mean, he ran a lot of the when
241
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,000
he's at Cincinnati that split
Zone, RPO, very Zone, heavy
242
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,100
oriented scheme, I mean, and
when you think about Zone,
243
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:08,300
there's a lot less thinking that
that's involved in.
244
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,200
You're blocking scheme.
So when we look at last year,
245
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,900
there was a lot more Gap.
Rudolph was bringing a lot more
246
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:18,100
Gap.
A lot more power run, and I
247
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:22,600
think this transition is going
to be helpful to get that
248
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,000
offensive line back to the way
they were because we were
249
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,600
running out, heavy Zone scheme
before and some of these guys
250
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,400
that struggled mightily last
year had pretty good Seasons
251
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:36,000
before that maybe Parker in a
limited run back in 2021 looked.
252
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,300
Okay.
Fell off the map.
253
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:40,400
Last year, whether that was
injury related or scheme
254
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,000
related, but I think these guys
have the capability to step up,
255
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,300
it's just going to be.
Can enough of them do it?
256
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:49,600
Can we get a 5 unit out there
that plays the way you want them
257
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,900
to?
And do we have enough depth in
258
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:53,600
case, we get an injury or two
down the road.
259
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,800
I've been encouraged just by
what I'm hearing with the
260
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,700
relationship between Crook and
the players.
261
00:12:57,700 --> 00:13:00,500
It seems like those guys respect
each other.
262
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:06,300
They have taken to his coaching
at least the early returns Dan.
263
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:09,900
Have you been hearing that about
like, Him coming in and crook
264
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:12,400
like hitting the ground running.
Yeah.
265
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,100
May, you see the pictures
online, right?
266
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:17,000
Of him at his former places in
like he's in the hoodie, with
267
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,200
the sleeves rolled up and the
shorts and it's snowing.
268
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,100
That's a badass offensive line
coach to me.
269
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:23,300
That's like, offensive line,
coach 101, right?
270
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:25,700
Like one for sure.
But I believe him and Taylor,
271
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,000
Bowen come from the same tree,
Moorhead tree, right?
272
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,800
So, they already have similar
views.
273
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:33,100
Think, I haven't heard any
complaints and if there's one
274
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:34,600
thing you're going here on
hooky, Twitter is some
275
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,300
complaints.
So we haven't heard anything
276
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:37,700
about Rockbrook.
I think we doing.
277
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:39,800
All right, Pete.
Yeah, that's good.
278
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:42,700
You're right and let's flip over
to defense real quick because
279
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:46,100
there's another position that
the last few years we haven't
280
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:49,400
seen sacks Berg right.
We have not seen a pass rush
281
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,500
that were used to and
particularly.
282
00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:53,400
Now I'm looking at the depth
chart right here.
283
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,100
You look at those names on the
defensive end spot.
284
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:58,700
It's thin.
It's real thin and there's a
285
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:02,400
former Marshal guy on there too
and CJ McRae, how do you tally
286
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,500
how do you think that defensive
ends going to play out this
287
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:06,500
year?
Because behind McRae, and maybe
288
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:08,100
Nelson?
There's not a whole lot there.
289
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,200
Are you got a lot of Youth you
know on defense or on that
290
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,400
defensive line?
But the main thing is we have
291
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,300
some guys with some experience
in the middle so it's more than
292
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:22,500
just this guy's better than that
guy.
293
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:25,300
So he's going to sack the
quarterback I mean you got to
294
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:28,500
have some athleticism at
linebacker so they have to game
295
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:31,300
plan for that.
You got to have some experience
296
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:34,200
in size it, defensive tackle,
which I feel we have.
297
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,000
So if you can get a one-on-one
you can get somebody to Like icj
298
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,400
McCrae or pain or somebody on
the end that possibly can beat
299
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,800
that man to the edge.
Or I don't know.
300
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,300
That's bull rush a little bit.
Yeah.
301
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:51,700
Do some stuff so well with those
three defensive tackles are vest
302
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:55,400
fuga Kendricks, Pollard.
I feel strong about defensive
303
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,200
tackle but we'll some of those
guys, maybe move around.
304
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,400
Will they stand up some
linebackers?
305
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,200
Maybe we see covanta Jenkins,
coming off the edge or you got
306
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,700
to get you got to get a little
bit.
307
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,200
I mean, Our defense is going to
have to carry us even though we
308
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,000
have more Playmakers this year.
Our defense is going to have to
309
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,500
carry a so you're going to have
to get creative.
310
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:17,600
That's why I'm not a coach
because I'm I just like to watch
311
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,300
and talk shit like well they got
to get creative and bring people
312
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,400
from different spots.
Well that lesson that we're all
313
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,900
we all run podcasts that are
Average Joe's just being fance
314
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:29,200
and talking about sports.
So that's right we're doing
315
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,300
we're talking about what our
eyes see and what I see is not
316
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:34,800
much of a pass rush coming off
the edge so they got to get a
317
00:15:34,808 --> 00:15:36,200
little creative with it this
year.
318
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,800
But we also lost a linebacker
last year.
319
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,900
Docks decks hollifield.
He's gone now and we need a new
320
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:43,600
mic.
That's a key spot in this
321
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,400
defense and there doesn't seem
to be a clear-cut guy.
322
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,300
That's the guy right now.
Who do you think it's going to
323
00:15:50,308 --> 00:15:51,500
be?
Who wants to Billy?
324
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:53,200
Who's going to be, our starting,
Mike this year?
325
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:56,400
I you had a stroke.
I don't have it.
326
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,000
I don't have a starting Mike for
you, but one different way to
327
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,800
kind of think about it.
Is we're really going to be
328
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,200
getting a look as if we have a
completely new defensive
329
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,800
coordinator, this upcoming next
year.
330
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,600
So, Everybody knows cochepaille.
I was calling the defense for
331
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,400
the entire season up until the
Liberty game.
332
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:12,700
And one of the things that was
really interesting, we talked to
333
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:16,700
Dax was the team did not know
that coach Mark was Connor until
334
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:19,400
he started calling the plays so
the schematics are going to be a
335
00:16:19,408 --> 00:16:21,500
little bit different and yes
from the Jimmy's and Joe's
336
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,700
perspective, the defensive end
position is something that you
337
00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:27,600
kind of question marks about the
Mike linebacker position is
338
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,400
something that we don't know
what's going on over there.
339
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Defensive back feel pretty good
about defensive back but I'm
340
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,800
interested to see how the
defense looks differently from
341
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,200
the third and Long perspective,
from a first down perspective,
342
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,500
how much pressure rebuilding cuz
I do anticipate while we're
343
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:45,400
running a similar shell of a
defense, the calls.
344
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,400
And the situational things will
be completely different because
345
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,100
coach Marv is a different coach.
So that's what I'm going to be
346
00:16:50,108 --> 00:16:55,800
watching the first couple weeks.
I hear that for sure but I know,
347
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,500
but I was trying to pin Billy
down and he and he didn't want
348
00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:02,300
to but we got to give him Billy.
We got his dad.
349
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:05,099
Don't have a mic for you man.
I'm sorry McDonald.
350
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:10,500
I got you know like hey I mean
from like a killer, but he's not
351
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:12,000
a thing.
It's going to be McDonald.
352
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,000
Think it's gonna be McDonald.
I love that, man.
353
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:16,000
Yeah, yeah, he falls over that
man.
354
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,900
Not.
Well what also we got do from
355
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:21,700
VMI that might be lit.
What he legit, we don't know.
356
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:23,900
I'm here yet, still here.
You don't Schneider the transfer
357
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:30,000
from VMI, you look like dick the
same person but the middle
358
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,200
linebacker like you following
the nose Dax footsteps,
359
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,100
potentially but Stone,
Schneider.
360
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:38,900
I think it's gonna To make some
major noise when he gets here
361
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,600
but he's not here.
So the McDonald Brothers the you
362
00:17:41,608 --> 00:17:42,800
know we got one at defensive
end.
363
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,100
We got one at Mike and pry loves
them both.
364
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:48,300
He he actually said that, I
think Jordan.
365
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,600
What's the one on defensive and
they said he might be the most
366
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,100
athletic defensive end we have.
So we'll see what happens there
367
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:56,700
but the one at middle linebacker
you're right.
368
00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:59,900
It could be him Tisdale's.
The veteran though and he has
369
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:03,000
been shining lately.
At first, he wasn't even out
370
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,700
there a bunch of days.
I don't know if you had a class
371
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:08,400
thing or something, but Tisdale
obviously being the veteran.
372
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,000
It should probably be him, but I
don't know.
373
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,900
I think the thing about Tisdale
that's kind of misremembered is
374
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:18,200
a lot of people would be like,
oh, he started a couple games
375
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,600
here, did a little bit here when
he started his career in 2019
376
00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:26,000
played really really well goes
into 2020 gets covid and a lot
377
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,400
of you don't know this.
He lost close to like 30 or 40
378
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,700
pounds during covid.
So he had to reset his entire
379
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:33,500
career.
Then the next year, after that
380
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:35,800
last year, he has to sit because
of the suspension.
381
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:38,600
I really, really think which was
bullshit.
382
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:41,700
I agree.
I really think that he's a guy
383
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:45,600
that has just had such
tremendous bad luck for the last
384
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,500
two to three years and is going
to be a major major contributor
385
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:49,900
this year.
But again, if you just look at
386
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:52,700
his stat sheet, but oh he
started a couple of times.
387
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:55,200
Now, he's been through so many
different things and I hope this
388
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,500
is the year that he can come out
and shine.
389
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:59,000
So I'm excited.
I'm excited to watch him play
390
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,600
this year.
The one thing to get excited
391
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,100
about kind of piggyback on what
Billy said is, if you talk about
392
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:07,400
the guys that they're talking
about Make the position.
393
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,500
What you?
And no disrespect the Dax,
394
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:12,600
that's don't kick my ass.
If you're around here.
395
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,900
He wasn't as athletic as some of
the guys that they're putting
396
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:18,500
their.
So he got put in some bad spots.
397
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:21,800
Getting beat to the edge getting
put in some coverage, has some
398
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,100
of those guys that they are
putting in those spots a little
399
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:26,800
bit more athletic.
So it does allow us to do some
400
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,800
different things on defense that
we may have not been able to do
401
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,100
in the past.
That's a good point and before
402
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,700
we take a quick break here, is
there any final thoughts on just
403
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:37,500
the position by Idols, Dan, you
got something?
404
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:39,800
Yeah, I think one thing is for
certain that we learned about
405
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,900
prai is that he's not afraid to
switch people around, figure it
406
00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:45,800
out, see what works best.
So I wouldn't be surprised if
407
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,000
there's more shuffling after
today, you know.
408
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,600
Yeah, no, I know you're
absolutely right.
409
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,900
There's there is 100% going to
be more shuffling that goes on
410
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:59,100
after today as you guys know.
Yes, I was at a certain point in
411
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:02,000
a spring practice Billy Mitchell
had never taken a meaningful
412
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,700
snap.
I did play in a couple of games.
413
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:06,200
I went into a spring practice as
the one tackle.
414
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:09,700
They roll everybody and want to
see how everybody's going to
415
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:12,600
react.
So for a roster to be tweeted
416
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,900
out before in practice,
legitimately its musical chairs
417
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:18,000
in every single room.
What's up?
418
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Was it irresponsible of Andy to
do that?
419
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,400
They vary it very well may have
been but it was good.
420
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,000
Father, we were able to talk
about, so yeah, it worked for
421
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,100
him.
All right, we're going to take a
422
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:30,400
break, everyone get a beer will
be back in a few minutes.
423
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,600
I will go back, Sean, Jeremy.
We are back with a couple new
424
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,700
panelists.
We got Pat Finn In one of the
425
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:38,700
other founding members of Sons
of Saturday.
426
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,900
And then we got Sam of Saturday
Sam, Jesse from the locks of
427
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,100
Saturday podcast.
Joining us up here as well.
428
00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:46,700
Thank you guys for being up
here.
429
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Thank you, Pete.
We were talking a little bit
430
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,300
about the spring game before and
we're going to get back into the
431
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:54,700
positions, but what I want to
know from you guys and someone
432
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:58,600
jump in with the answer to this,
we saw a lot of bad play all
433
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,300
over the field offense defense.
What is the position group?
434
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:06,300
You need to see improvement from
the most either today or going?
435
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:09,500
To next year to make you feel
better, offensive line,
436
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:13,400
offensive line, defensive line
but not just the five starters.
437
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,600
You know you need probably eight
or nine guys in the offensive
438
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,100
line.
Think we saw that last year
439
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:21,900
where second unit of the
offensive line really struggled.
440
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,500
Hopefully you can see a few
extra guys in there to build
441
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:27,000
some death.
Yeah I mean offensive lines the
442
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,800
easy answer like it was it was
very poor.
443
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,500
I want to see those wide
receivers that came in the
444
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:35,600
transfer portal like really
improved because if they can't
445
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,600
get open, I've everything works
in unison, right?
446
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,900
You need the QB to throw to the
wide receiver, Steve the wide
447
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:43,500
receivers to get open, so we can
catch it.
448
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:47,100
We need to see the QB play
improve, but the wide receiver
449
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:49,100
play.
If that improves, it's going to
450
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:51,000
make everything easier on
offense as well.
451
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,800
Is there anything else you wish?
Here's my thing.
452
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,900
Pete, you know, getting beat on
a play every now and then that's
453
00:21:56,900 --> 00:21:58,600
one thing that happens, that's
football.
454
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:04,100
But the priest that penalties,
that killed drives or crazy.
455
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:08,400
Like you can't, you can't be
like You know 4th and 2 and all
456
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,100
of a sudden, there's a false
start and it's more than seven.
457
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:12,500
Now you've got to punt the ball,
you know, like we need to see
458
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:16,200
the discipline you be there like
no more priests that penalties.
459
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:19,000
Very rare.
That's just mental has nothing
460
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,900
to do with ability so that's why
we need to.
461
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,900
We need to Shore that up buddy.
Yeah, absolutely.
462
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:27,700
I will say that the mental side
of it was big for me last year.
463
00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:31,100
We're looking at the offensive
line they were thinking too
464
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:31,900
much.
It looked like they were
465
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:34,800
thinking too much and when
you're thinking as an offensive
466
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,300
line it's going to be a Trouble.
You're going to have bad
467
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:40,300
penalties.
You're going to have complete
468
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:42,700
brain farts.
When it comes to what your
469
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:45,400
assignment is because you're
overthinking the process.
470
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,900
So I'd like to see them get a
little more acclimated to this
471
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:52,500
process and just get it going.
Less thinking is always good in
472
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:55,600
football, right?
Like just get it and go right
473
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,400
and that's what the new
offensive line coach.
474
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,200
Ron Cook has been talking about,
is it's it's maybe not as
475
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,700
complicated.
I think you spoke to that
476
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,800
earlier and less thinking for
some of these kids is a lot
477
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,400
better.
Last year, we had a breakout
478
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,600
player in the spring game.
It was really the only thing in
479
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,300
the spring game and it was kind
of fun to watch was Caleb Smith.
480
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:14,900
We all remember him catching a
few deep bombs.
481
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,600
Sadly Caleb's no longer with us.
He's alive, he's just on a
482
00:23:18,608 --> 00:23:22,300
convention but thanks for
clarification.
483
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:25,400
Who is who is going to be this
year's Caleb Smith today?
484
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:28,300
Who are we going to see?
Make a long catch.
485
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:31,300
Make up a bone-crushing, hit,
get an interception.
486
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:32,400
Like who's that going to be
today?
487
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,700
Pat you go.
First, I want to see Bay Shield
488
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:37,300
tootin.
I think I said that correctly.
489
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,800
Darn tootin, darn tootin.
I want to see him darn tootin
490
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,300
all the way to the end zone
today.
491
00:23:42,300 --> 00:23:44,700
The and the ni L is there on
that one, by the way, we need
492
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:47,400
that.
Also guys who have, you know,
493
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,300
wrote about him when he was in
the transfer portal.
494
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:53,400
This is a guy who had offers to
Georgia, a bunch of other UNC.
495
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,400
So this is a guy really wanted
everyone who's talking about his
496
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,100
film and I was like, this is not
an FCS running back.
497
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:04,200
This is a D1 high-level running
back, so to bring him in, that's
498
00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:05,800
I mean, that's basically like
bringing in a four-star.
499
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:07,900
Our recruit right when you bring
in a guy like that, when you
500
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:10,700
bring in a guy like Ali
Jennings, I really like tune.
501
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:15,400
Jalen Lane is really
interesting, he tore it up with
502
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,100
Middle Tennessee.
They run like an air raid
503
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:20,500
system, but he is really fast,
he's really good at that.
504
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:23,500
Slip screen tunnel screen as a
wide receiver, and he's not a
505
00:24:23,508 --> 00:24:26,100
guy, you have to worry about,
dropping the ball, missing an
506
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,400
assignment, he's been like a
three-year starter Middle
507
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,900
Tennessee.
He's a guy who can come in and
508
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:33,500
make plays give technical extra
boost of pace.
509
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,800
I like Jane Lane and they've
been talking a lot.
510
00:24:35,900 --> 00:24:38,700
Lot about how he's had an effect
on the locker room.
511
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:40,900
His leadership is good.
They like the way he goes about
512
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:43,400
his business, all the buzz
things that you'll hear about a
513
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,100
player, but I haven't
necessarily heard him like
514
00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:50,800
wowing with with various place.
So he is definitely on my list.
515
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,300
He was top 25 in the country in
yards per game.
516
00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:56,100
Last year, as was Ali Jennings
who was actually like number
517
00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:58,300
three in the country in yards
per game, which is absurd.
518
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,300
I want to see both those guys go
off.
519
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:05,300
You mentioned, tooting coming
from FCS How easy do you think
520
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:07,300
that transition for some
positions?
521
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:10,000
They come from have see if it's
an offensive lineman I feel like
522
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,800
that's a hard transition running
back.
523
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,600
It should be easier in my mind.
You think that's true I would
524
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,300
assume.
So with running back offensive
525
00:25:18,300 --> 00:25:21,100
line I think the biggest
difference is the size but with
526
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:26,100
running back with his skill set
make guys miss at the second
527
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:28,800
level quick burst.
Those are things that are going
528
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,200
to translate.
So, and he's a, he's a not a big
529
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,600
back but he's a, he's A stout
Runner kind of like, almost like
530
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,900
a Lee Suggs build like he's
solid and so that's something.
531
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:42,900
We've been lacking.
Malachi's slight Keshawn.
532
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:45,500
King was slight.
I want to have a guy with some
533
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:47,500
punch.
Yeah, I went to open practice
534
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:51,100
and nobody was taking that man
down and I think the whole FCS
535
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:54,500
the D1 like FBS transferred
thing.
536
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:56,500
I think it's depends because
there's a whole lot of reasons
537
00:25:56,500 --> 00:25:58,700
why people end up at FCS, right?
It could be great.
538
00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:01,800
It could be the scheme that your
offense ran in high school
539
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,900
wasn't like correct fit for you
to showcase.
540
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:05,700
Talent.
So, you didn't get recruited.
541
00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:09,200
So I think it really just
depends, but I tooten is going
542
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,800
to be the man, and my opinion.
Yes.
543
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,200
Oh, is that who you think is?
No.
544
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,600
Have a Caleb Smith day though,
because in the spirit of Kayla
545
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,100
Smith, he was a guy that came
in.
546
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:18,800
He was here for three years.
People were like, oh man, he's
547
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,700
our wide receiver, one people
doubted him and then he broke
548
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:23,500
out.
So I think it's going to be
549
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:28,500
Dorian, strong interception,
dorian's gonna be a lot going on
550
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:31,400
this year because last year
before he got hurt the receivers
551
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,200
he went up against including Ali
Jennings.
552
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:36,600
He Got like twice in his O2 you
but when you're on an island you
553
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,700
going to get got it's just part
of the game.
554
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:41,700
It's how you respond.
But I mean Bryce for Wheaton's a
555
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:45,100
flowers, he held his own against
all of them and then he got
556
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:46,900
hurt.
So, I think this year during a
557
00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:51,000
strong is gonna be the anchor on
the defense in the secondary.
558
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:53,200
I like that prediction and I
like you going with the
559
00:26:53,208 --> 00:26:54,800
defensive guy, you got someone
today?
560
00:26:54,900 --> 00:26:56,400
I got a couple.
I'm gonna go, I'll start
561
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,800
offense.
I'm going to piggyback on Lane.
562
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,100
I feel like he's got the
potential to break out
563
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,900
especially with the way we're
going to move more towards it.
564
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:07,100
Bo system, he's going to be the
guy that kind of makes that
565
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:09,100
engine run from a passing
perspective.
566
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:11,500
So I'm looking forward to see
what he can do on the defensive
567
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:14,900
side.
Give me Kelly Lawson breakout
568
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:18,500
player of the year I'm looking
for him to take a big step this
569
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:22,200
year and if he does the defense
is going to pop.
570
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:24,200
Yeah.
And Kelly Lawson's a guy they're
571
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,900
already talking about Marv.
Talk about NFL potential.
572
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:30,400
Once you start hearing that it
gets you excited and let's be
573
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,600
honest with tech the last couple
years draftees.
574
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,900
Guys like being high draft
picks.
575
00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:38,100
That's not something.
We've talked a lot about.
576
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,100
So having a guy like Kelly
Lawson who you your kind of
577
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:45,100
eyeing as that next like draft
prospect that's someone to watch
578
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:46,700
for sure.
I hope that it lives up.
579
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:50,800
He's still he can put on a lot
more size, like he's still like
580
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:53,500
skinny for being cute.
He's six foot six or something,
581
00:27:53,700 --> 00:27:56,700
but I like that pick Sam.
You did, you give me a guy?
582
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,800
I gave you jail layout, Jalen
late nights, think the defensive
583
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:05,000
backfield in general this year,
Is maybe the best position group
584
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,100
on the team running back.
I really like they got to stay
585
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:11,300
healthy.
But yeah, the defensive
586
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:14,300
backfield looks really good.
I mean, people strong canteen is
587
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:15,600
guy we haven't talked about
coming in.
588
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,300
He's been really successful.
Yeah, he was at Georgia State I
589
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:22,100
believe.
So they've been talking a lot
590
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:24,000
about canteen.
They've been talked about him a
591
00:28:24,008 --> 00:28:24,700
lot.
Yeah.
592
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,000
So I think the defensive
backfield you could see a big
593
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,900
increase in just consistency
game to game.
594
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,400
And one last thing on that
running back stuff.
595
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,400
We're talking about coming from
FCS, think about guys who leave
596
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,600
college and get drafted in the
NFL and then are awesome in the
597
00:28:42,608 --> 00:28:44,900
pros.
There's no more bigger level up
598
00:28:44,900 --> 00:28:48,200
than College to Pro and guys
can, as rookie running backs
599
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,100
we've seen it again.
And again, they're huge
600
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:51,900
contributors.
They're talking about my Eagles.
601
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:55,100
Wanted to take Bijan Robinson at
number 10 because it could push
602
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:58,000
us over the top.
And so I think with running
603
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,200
back, it's just one of those
things.
604
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,900
I'm so looking forward to
tooting this year and seeing
605
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:04,500
what he can do.
Do just talking big picture with
606
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:06,800
the spring game, I talked about
the position groups and ask you
607
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,100
guys about those, but is there
anything in particular, you need
608
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:14,900
to see today to say, okay, we're
going to win more than three
609
00:29:14,900 --> 00:29:16,900
games.
Next year, is there something
610
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:19,500
that you're looking for?
Whether it's the way, a group
611
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:24,100
plays, coaching's anything, what
just anything you can think of,
612
00:29:24,100 --> 00:29:27,000
who wants to go first?
I'll go first, let's get
613
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,900
separation for the wide
receivers.
614
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,500
If the wide receivers can get
separation, make throws easier
615
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:33,500
for the quarterback.
That's going to go a long way
616
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:35,100
for us having success in the
passing game.
617
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,200
That's a great one.
And I think I actually that's
618
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,400
what I was talking about with
Robbie and our podcast not so
619
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,400
long ago.
I need to see that separation.
620
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,000
We need to make it easy on these
quarterbacks who no one's.
621
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,200
Lighten it up, right?
Give them, we need to give them
622
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,000
all the help.
They can get go ahead Dan.
623
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:52,600
I need to see a separation and
then also need to see the
624
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,400
offensive line.
Give both Grant and drones time.
625
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,900
So we can actually see true
quarterback competition because
626
00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:01,800
if one of them's just scrambling
for their life running for like
627
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,400
China, Save their ass and we're
not going to seek shit.
628
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,800
Well, if you remember the white
team last year I believe Jason
629
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,800
Brown was the Quarry.
He could he couldn't pass it.
630
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,000
All he had no shot.
He had no chance they worship
631
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:14,700
they.
And so hopefully today, the
632
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,200
teams are a little bit more even
and we're going to ask Sam in
633
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,200
our next segment to kind of give
us some props for the game.
634
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:23,400
But yeah we need to see
protection and it's weird
635
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,700
because you want to see a pass
rush but you also want to see
636
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:28,300
protection and that's the
balance of the spring game but
637
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:32,100
you can usually kind of tell as
the game goes on like okay, that
638
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:34,700
group.
Well that crew didn't Pat, did
639
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:37,300
you have a choice for something?
You want to see today to make
640
00:30:37,300 --> 00:30:38,800
you feel better going into next
season.
641
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,100
I want to see some
aggressiveness from the
642
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:44,400
defensive line you know.
I feel like so many times we
643
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,300
were not putting enough pressure
on the quarterback and we
644
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:52,300
weren't forcing enough bad
decisions and obviously you know
645
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,900
when they're going against our
own offensive line it's like we
646
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:59,500
want to see more protection from
them too but I think we really
647
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:01,600
do need to see some more
explosiveness from the guys
648
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,800
coming around the edge.
You know, and aggression is
649
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,600
something that can be shown in
the spring game.
650
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:08,900
You're not going to hit guys
after the whistle or knock their
651
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:12,200
helmets off, potentially, but
like you need to see.
652
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,200
Yeah, you want to see
aggressiveness, do you want to
653
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,800
see them running to the ball?
Any final observations?
654
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,100
Before we end this segment?
This sounds kind of weird, but,
655
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:21,000
like, aggressive play calling.
Like, I don't want to see a
656
00:31:21,008 --> 00:31:24,400
bunch of 32 Dives out there.
Billy says, they're only running
657
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,800
sixth place today.
I mean, they probably are and
658
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,900
you're probably working with
like two or three pages of
659
00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:32,300
Playbook.
It's gonna be vanilla and that's
660
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:34,100
Hey, but let's make it a really
good vanilla.
661
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,200
Thank, you know, it can be
really exciting.
662
00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:38,200
Hello.
Well, Andy bitter.
663
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,300
And Chris Coleman they were on
TSL earlier this week talking
664
00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:44,100
about the spring game and I felt
like it was getting beaten into
665
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:46,100
my brain.
How much this is not a game at
666
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:48,800
how much it doesn't matter.
And, and basically, if there any
667
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,200
guy has like an ankle twist
there just like shouldn't play
668
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,000
that, annoys me to no end.
This is an opportunity to be on
669
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,400
a stage.
See how these guys react under
670
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,000
the lights, all that kind of
stuff.
671
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:02,300
And I I'm with Sam, you need to
show me something.
672
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,100
I need to see some short
tackling.
673
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:07,800
I need to see clean blocks.
I need to see guys breaking
674
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,600
those tackles it's this is such
a good opportunity to learn how
675
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,400
these guys perform on a stage.
And I don't like it when it's
676
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,200
taken lightly and I maybe I'm
maybe I'm the minority here, but
677
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:21,600
I was so tired of hearing it.
I love Andy, I love Chris but
678
00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:23,200
don't don't dumb down a spring
game.
679
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,800
I love the spring game.
Let's see what happens.
680
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,400
Yeah, I think will be
disappointed.
681
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,300
We see nothing, but a dive, a
little quick out to the tight
682
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:31,600
end and then a Depo.
Like, give me something
683
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,800
different a little Don't show
the whole Playbook but give me
684
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,400
something to get excited about
absolute.
685
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,200
Sounds kind of lame but like
have fun out there.
686
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,900
Yeah like this should be the
most fun game we watch.
687
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:43,900
It should be balls to the wall.
Throw the ball.
688
00:32:43,900 --> 00:32:46,000
Deep Blitz every play.
Have fun out there.
689
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,200
Give people a show.
People drove down here.
690
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,700
Spend a lot of money come down
here to support the team, put on
691
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:53,400
a show for.
Yeah, and we can learn anything
692
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,300
from the women's basketball team
and Kenny Brooks.
693
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:57,300
And all those girls, they made
it fun.
694
00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:01,000
Don't they just made the sport
fun in a time when sometimes
695
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,200
that's not it.
Sounds corny.
696
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:06,300
But that's not what happens all
the time and so I, you're right,
697
00:33:06,300 --> 00:33:08,500
have some fun out there.
I think we could see some
698
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:10,300
aggressiveness though.
It was an open practice.
699
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:13,200
You couldn't touch the
quarterback but I mean Antonio
700
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,800
Cotman got yelled at by
preferred like stop touching the
701
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,700
quarterback.
I want to see that type of dog
702
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:19,800
like make them tell you to chill
out.
703
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,400
Like I want that bring that shit
now and I'm with you like I
704
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,700
think the years ago, they were
talking about how someone hit
705
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:29,700
Michael Vick out of balance and
a spring game and I don't want
706
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:31,600
to see any of that.
But I do want to see.
707
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,700
I do want to Some hits.
I do want to see some
708
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:38,400
intelligent recklessness fact.
That was that was well, put
709
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,600
we're going to cut it off there.
Take another break, we'll be
710
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:45,300
back in a couple minutes, hot
mic, hot mic, hey bad about

00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:47,000

We have the, Let It Fly segment,

716
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,900
some new guests up during this
third segment, we have Ed

I'm pretty fired up about it.

00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:34,500
We got Sam, Jesse from the locks
of Saturday.
723
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,100
Sam looks different than this
pictures on Twitter.
724
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:40,800
I hope in a good one.
He's prettier.
725
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,199
Oh thank you.
Thank you.
726
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:49,000
We have an unsung hero.
The Mask has been removed from
727
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,100
Spider-Man over here.
Dan, AKA treadmill, horse,
728
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:57,200
what's going on?
Hey guys, thanks for having me
729
00:34:57,500 --> 00:35:00,100
if y'all ain't following this
man on Twitter, please go do it.
730
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,200
He puts out some great fucking
tweaks and when he walked up to
731
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,300
me, he did not introduce himself
with Dan.
732
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:09,300
He was like, Hey, I'm Trent, I'm
treadmill horse.
733
00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:12,900
Shout out to mr.
Horse our guy.
734
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,000
And hence, or and mrs.
Horace.
735
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:20,500
And then, of course, we have J.
Ta Ka tally bands on this panel,
736
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:23,400
the do not take shots with
Jeremy.
737
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:27,200
The Jamin, the Jameson is
kicking in, and I'm hot.
738
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,800
And my glasses is fogged up, so
I can't see.
739
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,200
So, I took a shot and then I
said, hey, what are you
740
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,300
drinking?
Let me have something to chase
741
00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:39,100
this week.
It was more Jameson.
742
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:43,600
There we go, there we go.
And then this if you didn't
743
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,700
already know, this is Pat Finn
in the captain's chair for this
744
00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:51,100
final segment on this Saturday.
Okay so we're gonna be talking
745
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:53,500
tailgating we're gonna be
talking eating and drinking,
746
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:56,000
we're going to be talking all
that good stuff hokey Twitter.
747
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,100
We got five hokey Twitter, studs
up here.
748
00:35:58,100 --> 00:35:59,700
So I will be talking about that
too.
749
00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:04,800
So the first question is for
Sam, Jesse over there.
750
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,200
Sam locks the Saturday guy give
us an over-under for the point.
751
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,700
Total in Today is game.
What do you thinking?
752
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,300
All right, so thought a bit
about this.
753
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:16,400
And if you aren't aware of the
format for the game today is
754
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,700
going to be regular for 15
minute quarters running clock in
755
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:21,700
the second half.
So they should get a lot of time
756
00:36:21,700 --> 00:36:24,900
out there over under for the
game crunch.
757
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:27,400
The numbers looked at it.
I'm going to set it at 31 and a
758
00:36:27,408 --> 00:36:30,200
half.
What are we feeling last year?
759
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,300
Score was like what 2117
something like that?
760
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,400
It's low, but I mean, what are
you expecting to see today?
761
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,800
Because probably going to get
drones and wells in the first
762
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,400
half.
Half.
763
00:36:40,900 --> 00:36:43,600
Maybe a little bit of drones in
the second half, but probably
764
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,900
won't see wells in the second
half.
765
00:36:44,900 --> 00:36:47,700
So what are you feeling?
31 and a half.
766
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:51,300
Always take the under in the
spring game, always, it's always
767
00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:54,000
a low-scoring game every single
time, that's sharp.
768
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,500
Yeah, the defense is definitely
a head of the offense.
769
00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:58,500
I would say, in terms of
experience, we're getting ready
770
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:00,100
for the year.
So, I'll hammer the under there.
771
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,700
I love that.
You just made these lines up
772
00:37:01,700 --> 00:37:03,500
yourself.
It's phenomenal, content.
773
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:07,900
Hey, sounds like a pretty
unanimous on hammering, the
774
00:37:07,900 --> 00:37:11,300
under, in the spring game.
Got a couple of the props for
775
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:12,000
you.
Let's hit it.
776
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:16,200
It's so great.
Wells, over under nine and a
777
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,200
half completions today.
He had eight last year with a
778
00:37:19,207 --> 00:37:22,900
couple of big plays though, over
under nine and a half recurrent
779
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:24,300
Wells.
How many completions to the
780
00:37:24,300 --> 00:37:28,000
other team That does not count
but we'll get to that in a sec.
781
00:37:28,300 --> 00:37:32,400
My bad.
Any other prop said, well,
782
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,200
Hammer the under on everything
including complete.
783
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,300
Well, okay, Chiron, drones
seven-and-a-half completions
784
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,400
under under under.
I hope we see him run a bit, the
785
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,000
expectations are very low from
this panel, all right?
786
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,800
I'm not even gonna do passing
yards, then do we get 200
787
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,300
passing yards in total in the
game.
788
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,300
Yes, yes.
Okay.
789
00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:53,800
They'll be, they'll be a couple
long plays.
790
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,900
We'll go with that.
All righty, turnovers one and a
791
00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:59,600
half over under one and a half
turnovers.
792
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,000
I think you over.
Yeah you always get a couple
793
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,700
turnovers in the spring game.
I think we'll get two or three.
794
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,900
All right what do you got?
Ed okay.
795
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:11,300
Under will go under there.
I hope mean I would hope that
796
00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:14,000
the quarterbacks are under too
much pressure and as a result
797
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,600
don't turn it over so we'll go
under will go with one but not
798
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,300
to one.
Okay.
799
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:20,300
I would like to see only one
maybe like a nice diving
800
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:23,200
interception somewhere.
No fumbles all Securities job
801
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,000
security.
All right, this is a fun one.
802
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:31,600
First play of the spring game
rush or Yes, we'll get the juice
803
00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:35,100
on to rush at like - 150.
If you aren't familiar with
804
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:37,500
bedding prices, that means that
it is favored.
805
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:41,100
Rusher pass what about puns or
field goal?
806
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:43,200
What are the odds like plus 900
on its?
807
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,000
This is a two-way Market but we
can begin to first drive props,
808
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,800
we can do all that.
So I Pat has them punting on
809
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,800
first down.
Yeah, I've been chat with Stu
810
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,500
hold, he's gonna punt on first
down.
811
00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:59,500
I think it's gonna be Rush up
the middle to Basil tune.
812
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:01,900
Rush by tuning on the first
play.
813
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:05,800
I like that.
They Crush Rushford quite a rush
814
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,400
by maokai Thomas.
I'm gonna switch it up.
815
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,900
I think we're going to see a
play action pass.
816
00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:13,400
First play, play action pass,
five yard out, route to the
817
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,900
tight end.
I think that's what we're going
818
00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:20,700
to see first play, which tight
end, Nick gallop.
819
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,500
Maybe maybe, maybe nagala the
right hurt.
820
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,600
Is right for you?
I think rights good to go.
821
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:30,100
Okay.
Um but you know I do will see
822
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:31,900
today.
It's always tough with injuries
823
00:39:31,900 --> 00:39:33,300
in the spring.
A lot of times, I keep that
824
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:36,200
under wraps or four guys, just
feeling a little off, they won't
825
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,700
play him today.
So we're not.
826
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,800
I don't think there's going to
be a hard and fast injury report
827
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,500
for today until right before
kickoff.
828
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,600
Definitely, and that's all,
that's all I got for any other
829
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,900
generates out there are you got
that was a lot.
830
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,500
A lot of stuff right there.
I can I can get I can get you
831
00:39:51,500 --> 00:39:53,400
more.
Can do a little side Sportsbook
832
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,800
here.
When we get off the mics, y'all
833
00:39:54,800 --> 00:40:01,500
better put this man on FanDuel.
Thank you, Sam, fantastic props
834
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:04,900
thrown around there.
All right, so we're gonna move
835
00:40:04,900 --> 00:40:07,500
this discussion over to the
twittersphere.
836
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,600
There's been a lot of different
personalities or personas here
837
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,300
up on this panel.
It begs the question.
838
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,200
If there's something big that
happens in Hokie nation which
839
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,900
outlet and or Twitter person,
are you Looking for a reaction
840
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:26,500
from first.
Dan will start with you.
841
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,200
All right.
There's, there's a bunch.
842
00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:31,700
I mean, since he's here, I
always look at what hokey
843
00:40:31,700 --> 00:40:33,500
Pharmacy had to say.
You had to take a little bit of
844
00:40:33,508 --> 00:40:37,800
a caishen from Twitter.
I like his opinions on things, I
845
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,000
looked at P.
So Pete always has really good
846
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,600
opinions, like obviously, the
sun's like whatever, the Suns
847
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,400
have to say, Billy and Pat, I
listen to them.
848
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:51,000
Like, if like, if it's something
really big 0x, doesn't always
849
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000
like chime in but if it's
something big, I listened to X.
850
00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:57,800
Yeah, I mean, I'd say those are
the big ones, but yeah, I mean
851
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,600
honestly, I'm trying to see like
a lot of perspectives, like, big
852
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,800
accounts, small accounts as want
to see what everyone's saying.
853
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,300
And just kind of get a, get a
feel for what the fan base is
854
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:09,900
thinking tally, you look like
you're ready to jump in here and
855
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:11,800
I was just listening.
I was trying to listen to what
856
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,300
everybody had to say, I guess if
it comes down to it, I'm on
857
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:20,800
start a space.
And I'm gonna hear from user
858
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,300
five, seven, nine three, seven,
eight in the, in the
859
00:41:24,300 --> 00:41:25,100
twittersphere.
Hi.
860
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,500
Oh bad.
We suck and how nothing is
861
00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:29,700
going, right?
But not if I'm if I'm if
862
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:33,100
something goes on I'm probably
going to look at Don V.
863
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:36,500
I look at Don these tweets.
I look at Pete, Pete and done
864
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:39,100
via is probably the most
controversial that you can go
865
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:43,700
with because Pete doesn't give a
damn like he knows how to stir
866
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:48,000
people up.
I like that treadmill, treadmill
867
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,000
horse, I like seeing treadmill
horses stuff as well.
868
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:56,300
So probably my three would be
Pete Dunn V and tread Gotta give
869
00:41:56,300 --> 00:41:58,800
some big respected Pete here,
the man.
870
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,800
Hey big big time.
Pete helped get this set up here
871
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,000
but Pete is always bringing data
to the table.
872
00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:08,200
Always bringing data which I
absolutely love and it always
873
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,600
stirs up some good, some good
discussion.
874
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:12,900
Say I'm, it looks like you're
ready to jump in.
875
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:15,700
Oh shoot.
Well, I would say on a more
876
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:18,800
serious football level Dwight
Vic is is really informative and
877
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,400
I think he does a great job of
giving an informed opinion, but
878
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,300
also like letting his fandom
talk a bit.
879
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:25,700
Right?
So I like, That and then of
880
00:42:25,707 --> 00:42:29,700
course, Diablo fan account.
I mean, if tech has a win, I'm
881
00:42:29,700 --> 00:42:32,300
refreshing Twitter for that
video edit because I got our
882
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:34,700
show personally to, he hasn't
locked and loaded for every
883
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:36,800
situation.
Yeah, that was gonna be my
884
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,000
answers.
Well, I go straight for the
885
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,600
memes.
Straight for Diablo wish you
886
00:42:39,607 --> 00:42:42,600
could be here today.
But yeah, he's my number one
887
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,000
seed, for sure, but for you, no
real content.
888
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,500
We are as a fan base, pretty
blessed to have a lot of awesome
889
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:49,100
content creators.
So there's never a shortage of
890
00:42:49,100 --> 00:42:50,500
Virginia Tech content on the
timeline.
891
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,700
Ya gotta shout out will and Kris
and all the folks over at ESL.
892
00:42:54,700 --> 00:42:57,800
There's always good stuff coming
from over there, Billy Ray's
893
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,400
over here and he always has some
type of content going out
894
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,100
whether it's hey we're getting
too excited or hey you guys need
895
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:11,200
to calm down they'd be so pissed
at Billy people be so pissed at
896
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,600
Billy for there's nothing
there's nothing like when Billy
897
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,700
puts out like a two minute
monologue in the car, always in
898
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:22,100
the car in in the hey you know
I've already I'm on my way to
899
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:26,400
this place and I just had I saw
some Nonsense going on on the
900
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,100
TL.
And I had to just say something.
901
00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:32,400
Somebody messaged me and asked
me, does Billy have a job?
902
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:39,100
I said, I don't fucking know.
This is it whenever thumb goes
903
00:43:39,100 --> 00:43:40,400
on?
He is breaking news.
904
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,600
He's on it.
And if y'all have not met Pat,
905
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,000
he has probably the most perfect
teeth I've ever seen.
906
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,800
Just let y'all know and he's
taller than I thought too.
907
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,000
I am single ladies.
He's single.
908
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:00,200
I bet he's smart too.
I did not pay tally for these
909
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,300
endorsements but I do
appreciate, yes.
910
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,200
All right idea.
This is a fun one, especially on
911
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,900
a weekend, like spring game
weekend.
912
00:44:07,900 --> 00:44:10,600
When Soma a cast of characters
comes in town.
913
00:44:10,700 --> 00:44:12,400
You never know who you're going
to run into.
914
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,600
Who is the coolest person /
player?
915
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,400
/ Ho Chi that you have met or
you might still be looking to
916
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,500
meet during this trip in
Blacksburg.
917
00:44:21,500 --> 00:44:24,600
So who's the coolest Is that
you've gotten to chill with here
918
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,800

We even just maybe it wasn't
919
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,200

you've gotten to talk to, that
920
00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:33,400
is just an awesome guy.
So I'll start with this cam.
921
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,100
Chancellor's at the bar at camp
chairs was pretty cool to me so
922
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:39,300
I don't know if he's still
there, but it's pretty good.
923
00:44:39,300 --> 00:44:43,600
He's a pretty nice house here.
New well he was here before this
924
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,500

Great to have him back in
Blacksburg at me.
946
00:45:38,700 --> 00:45:41,200
Like a cult hero in Blacksburg
that guy.
947
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,900
What a warrior on the field.
You see him?
948

And where's the fish?
You're like, I cannot believe

that dude was taking hits in the
pocket.

One has Machado the Edmunds
brothers, who are always around.
951

953
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:59,800
How kind those guys are and how
excited they are to be back in
954
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,300
town, at almost every
opportunity.
955
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:06,500
So it's on me, man.
Let's not a gave everybody a
956
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:08,300
shout-out?
First of all, I want to say.
957
00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:12,200
Shout out to Wyatt Taylor for
beating the allegations that
958
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,500

That was not why I tell her just
959
00:46:16,500 --> 00:46:21,500
to let y'all know was not my guy
but I have not met a lot of
960
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:24,200
people that I'm going to meet
because I got caught up at the
961
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:29,300
casino last night shooting craps
with James, I don't know who
962
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:31,700
James is.
Bristol.
963
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,700
I was in Bristol, man.
It wasn't even done.
964
00:46:34,700 --> 00:46:37,000
They just, let me in, they say,
we're still building it.
965
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:40,500
Come on in, spend money.
But later on, I'm going to meet
966
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:45,300
Dwight Brandon Hill, but from
the people, I meet drifts pretty
967
00:46:45,300 --> 00:46:47,900
cool.
Drifting is outside from the
968
00:46:47,900 --> 00:46:50,000
dress?
Yeah, shout out the drift.
969
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:53,100
I can't say I met be fish,
because he's late.
970
00:46:53,100 --> 00:46:55,800
He just walked in Dan.
He Is Alive.
971
00:46:55,900 --> 00:46:57,300
That's be fishy.
Is alive.
972
00:46:57,300 --> 00:47:02,300
Everybody Jeremy again.
I've been in a group chat for
973
00:47:02,300 --> 00:47:06,100
like four years, and this is my
first time seeing people in real
974
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:10,800
time, Billy is bigger than heat
and I thought he was so all of
975
00:47:10,808 --> 00:47:13,800
your people on Twitter, you
better leave him alone because
976
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,500
if you catch all in Food Lion,
he probably gonna kick your ass.
977
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,500
Leave me alone.
That's a big dude man.
978
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,600
Shout out today and as well.
P everybody, man.
979
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,700
I'm just happy to be here.
So, beautiful day.
980
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:26,700
Y'all look like y'all eatin.

981
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,900
I got some wings ordered.
We're feeling good.
982
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,300
We good to go man.
Thales Ben's, wonderful day.
983
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,600
My shout out goes and I'm
surprised.
984
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,600
I haven't heard it yet.
David Wilson.
985
00:47:40,700 --> 00:47:42,800
Did anyone get to talk with him
last night?
986
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:50,100
But exactly, yeah, David Wilson
is absolutely hysterical.
987
00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:53,900
Like that guy is so much fun.
He was doing backflips, last
988
00:47:53,900 --> 00:47:56,100
night.
He was performing last night,
989
00:47:56,300 --> 00:47:59,400
and I was like, hey David, you
know, I know when you were here,
990
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,400
you Ran up on top of Castle.
He's like, you know what we need
991
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,800
to do.
I want to do it again.
992
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,700
And we should get like a crowd
in like sell tickets, but
993
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,500
hanging out with David Wilson
was definitely a highlight of
994
00:48:12,508 --> 00:48:14,800
the weekend for me.
So it was fired up that he was
995
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:19,200
in town.
All right, tailgate time we're
996
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,000
almost there.
I know you guys are trying to
997
00:48:21,008 --> 00:48:26,200
tailgate today best and favorite
tailgate, food and drink.
998
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,600
I'm sorry, this route.
I start this.
999
00:48:29,900 --> 00:48:34,700
So, one of my first games that I
came up here was in 2016.
1000
00:48:34,700 --> 00:48:37,800
I came to the Miami game is on a
Thursday night.
1001
00:48:37,900 --> 00:48:41,000
Now, I'm from Alabama, I'm a big
dude from Alabama, right?
1002
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,600
So I go in this tailgate, with
one of my buddies that I know.
1003
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,800
And the first thing that
somebody from, I don't know,
1004
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,700
pick a town in Virginia.
He's like, are we eating bear?
1005
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,900
I was like, they're like, what
does it taste like?
1006
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:54,000
He was like, it tastes like
bear.
1007
00:48:54,300 --> 00:48:58,300
So I bear and it tasted good.
I probably won't eat it any
1008
00:48:58,300 --> 00:49:01,900
again.
But that's the best the best
1009
00:49:01,900 --> 00:49:03,500
food that I've tasted cuz it's
different.
1010
00:49:03,500 --> 00:49:05,300
Like I eat all kinds of shit
from Alabama.
1011
00:49:05,700 --> 00:49:12,000
Pig feet pigtails pick toes
whatever so moonshine, I got
1012
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,400
some peach moonshine outside.
That's probably going to be the
1013
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:23,000
best drink of the tailgate Dan.
I'm gonna go a little bit like a
1014
00:49:23,008 --> 00:49:25,700
little bit weird here but I
pregame ritual is like me.
1015
00:49:25,700 --> 00:49:29,100
And my wife, every time we're in
town, we go to tots and we get a
1016
00:49:29,107 --> 00:49:32,500
Top Chef.
Rail, it has you haven't got the
1017
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:35,400
top shelf, real top, you gotta
go.
1018
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,200
It's $30.
So it's not cheap but it's worth
1019
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,800
it it's awesome.
Every time I'm here for a game
1020
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,300
go to tots top-shelf rail.
You got to do it, he's Rich.
1021
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,100
Yeah I got to say we did an
article on Sunday and
1022
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:57,300
Saturday.com last summer, I
believe it was ranking the top
1023
00:49:57,300 --> 00:49:59,600
20 tailgate foods, and number
one that people.
1024
00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:02,000
Stood in was just fried chicken.
And I think there's just
1025
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,600
something about like, little bit
of grease on your hands at a
1026
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,600
tailgating Fried.
Chicken is just the best
1027
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,100
tailgate food on Earth.
As far as drink, it totally
1028
00:50:11,100 --> 00:50:15,500
depends on the weather. 100%
depends on the weather but a
1029
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:18,400
picture of what, what is this?
We got, but, but Miller Lite,
1030
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:21,100
pitcher a Miller Lite, nice and
refreshing.
1031
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,800
Basically hydration with water.
So yeah, it's healthy.
1032
00:50:25,500 --> 00:50:29,300
So I gotta get with that.
Yeah, for the early season, warm
1033
00:50:29,300 --> 00:50:31,400
weather.
James absolutely Miller Lite
1034
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,400
later in the year when it gets
cold, you can mix in some
1035
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,300
bourbon stuff like that.
Shout out the Jeremy as far as
1036
00:50:37,300 --> 00:50:38,800
food.
Anything off the grill, burgers,
1037
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,600
hot dogs, sausage chicken.
Anything that someone made at
1038
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,800
the tailgate is always a go to
if you got a grill at the
1039
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,200
tailgate, that's a that's a win.
Your you won the day already.
1040
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,300
You did your job as a fan if you
showed up with a grill to the
1041
00:50:51,300 --> 00:50:54,700
tailgate, my favorite tailgating
drink.
1042
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,800
I think when I think of fall in
football, I think of like
1043
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,500
bourbon and whiskey.
Yes.
1044
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,100
Yesterday we played in the the
golf tournament and they had
1045
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:06,400
Jack and Coke in a can fire, it
was awesome.
1046
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:09,200
And I was having a sip of, I was
like, I feel like I'm I feel
1047
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,700
like it's fault, that's probably
my favorite drink.
1048
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,700
And then I like buffalo chicken
dip, man.
1049
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:17,300
But foot any dips and he dips
are what I'm gonna be looking
1050
00:51:17,300 --> 00:51:20,700
for out in the Lots after this.
All right.
1051
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,800
This next we got two more
questions here.
1052
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,100
I feel like this was put in here
specifically for the man to my
1053
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:32,500
left.
Is Enter Sandman inappropriate
1054
00:51:32,500 --> 00:51:36,100
music choice at the tailgate who
is listening to an assignment at
1055
00:51:36,100 --> 00:51:38,600
the tailgate.
Come on man.
1056
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:44,800
I understand entertain innocent
man is a great pregame ritual
1057
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,400
but I ain't nobody listening to
that at the tailgate.
1058
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,300
Is anybody listening to it at
the tailgate innocent man?
1059
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:59,900
Hey y'all he lying man.
You gotta put on some little
1060
00:51:59,900 --> 00:52:02,200
baby, we can go back to the old
school.
1061
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,700
I rather listen to Temptations
the entertainment.
1062
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,700
I'm a problem that I listened to
Enter Sandman on repeat at the
1063
00:52:08,707 --> 00:52:15,200
tailgate.
He's spending $30 on Rails.
1064
00:52:15,500 --> 00:52:19,200
That's rich.
People stuff, normal people hate
1065
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,700
doing there.
I'll even tell you as a huge
1066
00:52:21,700 --> 00:52:24,600
Metallica fan in general.
I don't even listen to Sam at
1067
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:25,600
the tailgate.
You got a week.
1068
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,000
It's got to be that one moment
and then you're done with it.
1069
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:28,900
We don't need to play it through
dress.
1070
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:31,300
Of it.
It's got to be that one special
1071
00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:33,000
moment and then you're done with
it.
1072
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:35,900
Yeah, it's very situational.
I want to hear it one time that
1073
00:52:35,900 --> 00:52:39,700
day and it better be a win after
that, while we will say it is
1074
00:52:39,700 --> 00:52:42,100
too.
I think innocent man's follows
1075
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:46,400
me because I have, I have Sirius
radio and I'll be listening to
1076
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,800
like the R&B station and
innocent man will come on.
1077
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,100
I'm like, Jesus Christ, what is
this coming from?
1078
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:56,600
So I guess I got to like the
song because it's showing up
1079
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,600
everywhere.
So Country music at the
1080
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,100
tailgate.
All right.
1081
00:53:04,300 --> 00:53:07,500
Back in the day we had to sneak
alcohol and Lane stadium before
1082
00:53:07,500 --> 00:53:12,000
they started serving beer.
What was your method of sneaking
1083
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,800
it in?
Just throw a couple airplane
1084
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,700
bottles in your pocket.
That's it.
1085
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,300
Real simple.
So what what parent really wants
1086
00:53:20,300 --> 00:53:24,400
to know was who was sticking
bottles up the but somebody was
1087
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,800
doing it.
Flask in the boot, it's a good
1088
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:29,700
move.
Yeah, that's good.
1089
00:53:29,900 --> 00:53:30,600
That's it.
Yeah.
1090
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:35,200
The back in there and you're
good to go.
1091
00:53:36,100 --> 00:53:38,300
What about you, pal?
All the above, Man, All the
1092
00:53:38,300 --> 00:53:46,000
Above.
So Pat was not sticking bottles
1093
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,400
up his butt.
All right on that note that's
1094
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,600
that's about all the time we
have here at Sharkey's but
1095
00:53:54,700 --> 00:53:56,200
wanted to thank everyone for
coming.
1096
00:53:56,300 --> 00:53:59,200
Out if you are listening wanted
to thank our friends at
1097
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,700
Sharkey's Blacksburg.
It's we're good friends.

00:54:01,700 --> 00:54:04,200

the 2D podcast, but if you don't
6
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:03,400
know me, we got some special
fellas up here to help me out
7
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,600
today.
What we're trying to do is bring
8
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,300
together some of the independent
voices, that cover Virginia Tech
9
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:11,200
Athletics, get different
perspectives and that's what
10
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,300
this show is going to be all
about.
11
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:14,900
So I'm proud to introduce, Brian
and JT.
12
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:17,300
The boundary Corner podcast.
What up, what up?
13
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:20,800
We got Dan from the tales of the
Terrordome podcast year and you
14
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,900
all know my last guest, former
Virginia Tech offensive lineman
15
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:26,900
and founder.
One of the founding members of
16
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:29,900
Sons of Saturday, Billy Ray
Mitchell people putting this
17
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,000
together, his introduction was
way better than mine.
18
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,900
We thought.
Oh, well listen, last night was
19
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:40,400
awesome.
We are at the spring Jam, the
20
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,300
sun's put that event on over at
McLean's on First and Main.
21
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,000
And I had a blast You guys have
any Reflections on the night.
22
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
How was it Go Dan man?
That that shit was like a blur
23
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:55,100
but it was a great time.
Billy Pat, everybody was sons of
24
00:01:55,107 --> 00:01:56,900
Saturday put on a hell of an
event.
25
00:01:56,900 --> 00:01:58,700
You know.
Damn Marshall did his thing.
26
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:01,900
David Wilson was there The Who's
Who of hokey Twitter was in the
27
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:03,600
building.
So it was a good time man.
28
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:07,600
I had a good time, there's a lot
of Southside Virginia
29
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,300
connections there with the
Edmonds, there had David Wilson
30
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:14,400
there.
So being a Halifax native that
31
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,100
was big for me, getting to hang
out with those guys and again,
32
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,600
appreciate Billy and Pat for
putting that on as pretty,
33
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,600
pretty fun.
Hell yeah, it was I knew was
34
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,600
going to be a good day.
When I walked in a shark.
35
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,100
He's at 4:00 p.m. yesterday and
saw Kam Chancellor sitting.
36
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:30,800
At the bar, I was like, okay,
this is this is the all the
37
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,900
former players were out.
It was, it was awesome.
38
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,000
So again The sons are doing
work, we talked about on our
39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,900
podcast couple weeks ago, how
they put some players on their
40
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:42,000
platform and stuff.
And I'm, I'm not trying to Hype
41
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,300
Billy up too much, but your this
weekend, you guys are doing your
42
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:47,400
thing, man.
It's been awesome.
43
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,600
Yeah, I think the athletic
department has done such a good
44
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,900
job of encouraging, folks, to
come back for the, for those to
45
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:55,000
come golf event, buddy.
Bryce chocolate.
46
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,100
Does a phenomenal job at that
and really just want to make
47
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:59,600
sure that everybody gets to meet
everybody because a lot of these
48
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,100
players.
You think they know each other?
49
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,000
It was Michael Brewers first
time back to school since Priya
50
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,100
covid and he came back and he
was able to meet hangout Sean
51
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:10,600
Glennon, again, for the first
time since he was at school
52
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,700
year.
So not just the opportunity to
53
00:03:12,708 --> 00:03:14,500
come back.
But the opportunity for folks
54
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:19,000
that played in the 2000s, 2010's
2020s back in the 90s to all get
55
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,200
to meet each other.
And create, those relationships
56
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,900
is really important and to me
the spring weekend is a little
57
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:26,500
bit.
Underrated, is it the best
58
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:29,500
weekend in Blacksburg?
If you don't go to school here,
59
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:31,900
because you get to see everybody
who cares about go to the spring
60
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,800
game without having to deal with
60,000 70,000.
61
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:37,200
Being here and you can't get
into a bar, you can't go
62
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,200
anywhere.
So whether it's been great,
63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,800
everybody's back in town,
anyone, great.
64
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,600
I appreciate everybody that
showed out and everybody who
65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,000
made it possible.
So we finally got the spring
66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,500
game format yesterday and in
years past, sometimes it's been
67
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
more of almost drills than a
real game, but Pride told us
68
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,200
that we're going to have even
teams today for the game.
69
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,700
Last year, they split up the
teams and one of the team's
70
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:02,900
wasn't very good.
So hopefully it's a little bit
71
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:05,200
better this year.
One of the things we'll sorry.
72
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:09,700
What, what do you guys think
about today's game?
73
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:12,000
Are you like, do you expect to
see something fun?
74
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,500
Are you just going to try?
Just need to, I just need to see
75
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,000
somebody do.
Something exciting.
76
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:19,399
I mean this is spring game.
You got people playing a lot of
77
00:04:19,407 --> 00:04:21,899
different positions moving
around all spring.
78
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,600
I just need to see somebody.
Like, I don't know, knock,
79
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,300
somebody's helmet off, run for a
50-yard touchdown, do something.
80
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:33,900
I don't need to see somebody a
certain number throw five Peaks
81
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:38,100
or if he does throw five picks,
we can kill the quarterback
82
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:40,600
controversy.
Yeah well that's that's a good
83
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,200
thing.
You brought that up because I
84
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,000
want to transition into some of
the position battles were.
85
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:48,700
In N, some of the positions
especially on defense kind of
86
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:52,000
seemed clear cut, but
offensively and other places on
87
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,700
the field.
It's not so clear.
88
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,400
So what what, in particular
position battles Brian?
89
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,000
Are you looking at today?
So me, I'm looking at who's
90
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,600
going to fill in in that Right
Guard spot.
91
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:07,600
You know, we've seen word of
Jesse handsome working in there,
92
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:09,500
we've seen a couple other guys
working in there.
93
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:12,700
I'm looking at that spot and
obviously quarterback is top of
94
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:15,100
the list, trying to see how
that's going to play out.
95
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:19,200
I think we all know it's going
to carry over into the fall but
96
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:22,100
I feel like this is kind of the
kind of the first time that
97
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:23,500
we're going to see them out
there.
98
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,600
This is this is where the
competition really starts.
99
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:29,100
Yeah, I want to ask you guys
about drones and Wells.
100
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:32,900
That's obviously the thing that
most people are buzzword of the
101
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:35,100
last three weeks or four weeks.
Yeah.
102
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,800
Yeah.
Next, let's Wells can be
103
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,100
triggering, right?
Some people.
104
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:41,300
They never want to see him.
Throw another Pastor Virginia
105
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,400
Tech.
I got PTSD, I'm not in that
106
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,400
camp.
I That he struggled mightily, I
107
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,000
don't think the coaches did him
any favors.
108
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,300
I don't think the talented him.
Any favors when we start this
109
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:55,100
season, though?
Dan who do you think is going to
110
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:56,500
be q b?
1 week 1.
111
00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:58,900
I know it's a little hard to
project but I need you to give
112
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:00,500
me some kind of thought process
on it.
113
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,200
I mean honestly I think it'll be
drones because I don't think Ali
114
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,900
Jennings came here to play with
Grant Wheels to be honest.
115
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:10,100
I don't think that's what sold
among Tech, but I went to
116
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:13,900
Marshall, I had a little soft
spot for Grant but after last
117
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:15,800
year, I just don't think Don't
know man.
118
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,600
I think I saw enough.
I'm like and I mean I've we got
119
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,800
better Playmakers this year that
I get separation but I still
120
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,700
like I think it's kind drones is
the guy needs to be the guy.
121
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:27,900
That's what I need to see.
That's what I'm hoping to see
122
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:32,000
today, you know, like at least
some competitiveness at the
123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
quarterback position because
last spring game it was kind of
124
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,800
clear that that Jason Brown.
No offense.
125
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,600
Great dude.
Wasn't going to cut it.
126
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,200
You know, he wasn't going to
push Grant Wells.
127
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:45,000
So yeah, and with Wells like he
could be better this year, he
128
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,500
could develop in the offseason
and and maybe the bow and switch
129
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:51,200
will help him and the new
offensive line will help him and
130
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,700
the wide receivers as you
mentioned.
131
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:58,100
But up when we get into fall
Camp I'm thinking it's gonna be
132
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,300
drones.
It's going to make that push.
133
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,000
Like it's not happening right
now because Wells has played a
134
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,700
lot more football than Chiron,
drones.
135
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,200
But you're right, we have these
wide receivers and we have
136
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,000
basically two guys that came in
jail.
137
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:14,500
Lane and Ali Jennings.
Those are the two big names, but
138
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:18,300
beyond that, for Grant or
drones, who's going to be that
139
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:22,300
345 receiver, because he needs
more than just that the two I
140
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:24,200
believe that those two guys will
be out there despite and
141
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,800
abettors depth chart I think
Lane and Jennings will be out
142
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,000
there.
Tally was good, you know, he put
143
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,600
that jump shot out and y'all
freaking lost your minds in the
144
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,400
spring, in the middle of spring,
when Andy better, put it out.
145
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,800
But I mean I'm glad that he put
it out because it gives you just
146
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,000
a different look to show you
that you have.
147
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:44,600
You have so many wide receivers
that are pushing for playing
148
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,300
time.
So, you know, Holloway Gosnell,
149
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,300
I'd like to see all of those
Moss as well as the transfers
150
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:54,900
that come in.
Like, I think there's a spot for
151
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:58,400
everybody to get sunburned.
I mean, last year, we had throw
152
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,500
it up and hope Caleb Smith gets
it.
153
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,400
You know?
I mean, I was our office last
154
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,700
year.
I've been encouraged by the
155
00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:05,500
stuff.
I'm hearing about God's Nell and
156
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:10,900
Moss, but last year, we heard a
lot about Dwayne Lofton and now,
157
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,700
Not didn't work out, right?
Like we he didn't do a whole
158
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:14,600
lot.
I mean there was a few
159
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,700
touchdowns here and there a
couple dropped passes that were
160
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:21,500
important here and there.
So it's hard to believe right
161
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,100
now with moss and the Gosnell
hype Holloway.
162
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:28,400
We saw him do some stuff last
year so that that encourages me.
163
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,600
So if Brian you got to pick a
number three receiver who's it
164
00:08:32,608 --> 00:08:36,200
going to be Jimmy felt felt you
think it's going to be felt?
165
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,000
I haven't heard much about
Felton this spring.
166
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:40,700
You know, looking at him his
body type.
167
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:43,400
I feel like he kind of does a
little bit of what Caleb Smith
168
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,500
does did for us last year.
Bigger body tight, I think he's
169
00:08:46,508 --> 00:08:49,100
gonna be a red zone threat, and
I feel like he's gonna be a good
170
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:51,100
complement to what I like
Jennings brings on the other
171
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:53,800
side there and then went laying
can do in the slot.
172
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:56,200
Yeah, that's my big thing is
that I feel like it's a good
173
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,200
compliment for that three
receiver set.
174
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,400
Well, we got a bunch of big guys
up here.
175
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,600
So, I kind of wanted to talk
about offensive line.
176
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,200
And you mentioned, Jesse Hansen
moving over and block.
177
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,400
None of us can a lot of meat, a
lot of meetings.
178
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:11,300
I was with Pete saying but we
got.
179
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:12,800
I mean Billy played offensive
line.
180
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,100
Brian.
You played a little offensive
181
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,600
line.
And so like your perspective
182
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,100
like last year, the offensive
line was so bad, it was one of
183
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:21,800
the reasons, great, well
struggled so much.
184
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:26,200
So what do you think went wrong?
And do you think this new 10
185
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:29,600
line coach hire will actually
help out this year, and Billy,
186
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,200
I'll turn to you first.
Yeah, I think a couple of things
187
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,700
happen, I think going into the
year, we knew that that unit
188
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:39,100
wasn't going to be fantastic.
It was going to be Desta.
189
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,700
And I like, coach Rudolph came
in with a lot of hype.
190
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:43,700
And my personal opinion on Coach
Rudolph.
191
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:46,000
Is he had he was here for a
year.
192
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:49,400
He did a tremendous job at his
previous school, which he was at
193
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,400
for 10 or 15 years.
So, to go ahead and watch this
194
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,900
one year where we openly were
saying that everybody involved
195
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:58,200
in the program, whether it was
coaches players, everybody else.
196
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,900
Everything was changing, people
are learning on the Fly and
197
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:03,400
You're Expecting to see a
dramatic improvement over a
198
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,400
short period of time.
It's not going to work that way.
199
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,200
So it's not as much about who is
Is it going to be that we're
200
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,800
able to roll out there?
I would say that guard spot is
201
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,200
probably my biggest concern.
I know going into it it was the
202
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,300
center spot but can the unit
play together.
203
00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:22,000
Well and is the offensive
coaching staff all going to be
204
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,600
on the same page because it
seems like Bowen and Coach
205
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,200
Rudolph had a little bit of skin
that schematic all differences
206
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:30,000
and we're just going to have to
see what happens.
207
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,200
And that's why I really think
Grant Wells has been kind of the
208
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,200
Target that we've placed on,
okay.
209
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,900
Our offense was our offense
struggled last year, Well
210
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:43,400
struggled, but so did absolutely
everybody on the field and with
211
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,900
the roster thing and everything
else, it's very easy to see Ali
212
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:48,500
Jennings.
Some of these transfers play at
213
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:51,400
their previous school and expect
0, that is the production that
214
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,700
we are going to get a Virginia
Tech.
215
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:54,900
And it's also easy to go back
and watch Virginia Tech games
216
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:57,200
last year and say, oh well, this
guy sucks.
217
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,900
So this guy's good at this guy's
bag.
218
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,400
I don't know what it's gonna
look like.
219
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,200
The spring game is gonna give
you a little bit of any get, get
220
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,300
them to get out there and play.
They're going to run about 6 to
221
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:08,000
10 different plays.
So you're not gonna get a real
222
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,300
good look.
At the scheme.
223
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:13,200
But based upon who plays in that
first quarter and about met hit,
224
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,400
Midway through the second
quarter.
225
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,200
Those the guys that are probably
we're looking to give an
226
00:11:16,208 --> 00:11:19,100
opportunity to and then second
half, you get a chance to see
227
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:20,900
all the young guys, and who
might be a bright star in a
228
00:11:20,908 --> 00:11:24,200
couple of years.
Well, on offensive line, like
229
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:26,200
you mentioned about Joe Rudolph
and it didn't go.
230
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,300
Well, last year, it was more
than not good.
231
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:30,500
It was, it was one of the worst
offensive lines.
232
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:32,500
We probably have seen
performance-wise.
233
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:35,000
Now, the guys themselves might
actually be better.
234
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
I know Parker Clements was
dealing with an injury.
235
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000
The scheme changed In and week
out at least it seemed that way
236
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,100
to me, they, but with crook
coming in he seems to be running
237
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:48,600
this Zone scheme.
That might be a little easier
238
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,800
for these guys to absorb.
Can you speak on that a little
239
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,200
bit run?
Yeah, just so looking at the,
240
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,200
the skiing the crook does.
I mean, he ran a lot of the when
241
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,000
he's at Cincinnati that split
Zone, RPO, very Zone, heavy
242
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,100
oriented scheme, I mean, and
when you think about Zone,
243
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:08,300
there's a lot less thinking that
that's involved in.
244
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,200
You're blocking scheme.
So when we look at last year,
245
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,900
there was a lot more Gap.
Rudolph was bringing a lot more
246
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:18,100
Gap.
A lot more power run, and I
247
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:22,600
think this transition is going
to be helpful to get that
248
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,000
offensive line back to the way
they were because we were
249
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,600
running out, heavy Zone scheme
before and some of these guys
250
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,400
that struggled mightily last
year had pretty good Seasons
251
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:36,000
before that maybe Parker in a
limited run back in 2021 looked.
252
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,300
Okay.
Fell off the map.
253
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:40,400
Last year, whether that was
injury related or scheme
254
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,000
related, but I think these guys
have the capability to step up,
255
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,300
it's just going to be.
Can enough of them do it?
256
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:49,600
Can we get a 5 unit out there
that plays the way you want them
257
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,900
to?
And do we have enough depth in
258
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:53,600
case, we get an injury or two
down the road.
259
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,800
I've been encouraged just by
what I'm hearing with the
260
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,700
relationship between Crook and
the players.
261
00:12:57,700 --> 00:13:00,500
It seems like those guys respect
each other.
262
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:06,300
They have taken to his coaching
at least the early returns Dan.
263
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:09,900
Have you been hearing that about
like, Him coming in and crook
264
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:12,400
like hitting the ground running.
Yeah.
265
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,100
May, you see the pictures
online, right?
266
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:17,000
Of him at his former places in
like he's in the hoodie, with
267
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,200
the sleeves rolled up and the
shorts and it's snowing.
268
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,100
That's a badass offensive line
coach to me.
269
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:23,300
That's like, offensive line,
coach 101, right?
270
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:25,700
Like one for sure.
But I believe him and Taylor,
271
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,000
Bowen come from the same tree,
Moorhead tree, right?
272
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,800
So, they already have similar
views.
273
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:33,100
Think, I haven't heard any
complaints and if there's one
274
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:34,600
thing you're going here on
hooky, Twitter is some
275
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,300
complaints.
So we haven't heard anything
276
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:37,700
about Rockbrook.
I think we doing.
277
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:39,800
All right, Pete.
Yeah, that's good.
278
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:42,700
You're right and let's flip over
to defense real quick because
279
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:46,100
there's another position that
the last few years we haven't
280
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:49,400
seen sacks Berg right.
We have not seen a pass rush
281
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,500
that were used to and
particularly.
282
00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:53,400
Now I'm looking at the depth
chart right here.
283
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,100
You look at those names on the
defensive end spot.
284
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:58,700
It's thin.
It's real thin and there's a
285
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:02,400
former Marshal guy on there too
and CJ McRae, how do you tally
286
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,500
how do you think that defensive
ends going to play out this
287
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:06,500
year?
Because behind McRae, and maybe
288
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:08,100
Nelson?
There's not a whole lot there.
289
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,200
Are you got a lot of Youth you
know on defense or on that
290
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,400
defensive line?
But the main thing is we have
291
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,300
some guys with some experience
in the middle so it's more than
292
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:22,500
just this guy's better than that
guy.
293
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:25,300
So he's going to sack the
quarterback I mean you got to
294
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:28,500
have some athleticism at
linebacker so they have to game
295
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:31,300
plan for that.
You got to have some experience
296
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:34,200
in size it, defensive tackle,
which I feel we have.
297
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,000
So if you can get a one-on-one
you can get somebody to Like icj
298
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,400
McCrae or pain or somebody on
the end that possibly can beat
299
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,800
that man to the edge.
Or I don't know.
300
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,300
That's bull rush a little bit.
Yeah.
301
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:51,700
Do some stuff so well with those
three defensive tackles are vest
302
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:55,400
fuga Kendricks, Pollard.
I feel strong about defensive
303
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,200
tackle but we'll some of those
guys, maybe move around.
304
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,400
Will they stand up some
linebackers?
305
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,200
Maybe we see covanta Jenkins,
coming off the edge or you got
306
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,700
to get you got to get a little
bit.
307
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,200
I mean, Our defense is going to
have to carry us even though we
308
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,000
have more Playmakers this year.
Our defense is going to have to
309
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,500
carry a so you're going to have
to get creative.
310
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:17,600
That's why I'm not a coach
because I'm I just like to watch
311
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,300
and talk shit like well they got
to get creative and bring people
312
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,400
from different spots.
Well that lesson that we're all
313
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,900
we all run podcasts that are
Average Joe's just being fance
314
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:29,200
and talking about sports.
So that's right we're doing
315
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,300
we're talking about what our
eyes see and what I see is not
316
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:34,800
much of a pass rush coming off
the edge so they got to get a
317
00:15:34,808 --> 00:15:36,200
little creative with it this
year.
318
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,800
But we also lost a linebacker
last year.
319
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,900
Docks decks hollifield.
He's gone now and we need a new
320
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:43,600
mic.
That's a key spot in this
321
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,400
defense and there doesn't seem
to be a clear-cut guy.
322
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,300
That's the guy right now.
Who do you think it's going to
323
00:15:50,308 --> 00:15:51,500
be?
Who wants to Billy?
324
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:53,200
Who's going to be, our starting,
Mike this year?
325
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:56,400
I you had a stroke.
I don't have it.
326
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,000
I don't have a starting Mike for
you, but one different way to
327
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,800
kind of think about it.
Is we're really going to be
328
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,200
getting a look as if we have a
completely new defensive
329
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,800
coordinator, this upcoming next
year.
330
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,600
So, Everybody knows cochepaille.
I was calling the defense for
331
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,400
the entire season up until the
Liberty game.
332
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:12,700
And one of the things that was
really interesting, we talked to
333
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:16,700
Dax was the team did not know
that coach Mark was Connor until
334
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:19,400
he started calling the plays so
the schematics are going to be a
335
00:16:19,408 --> 00:16:21,500
little bit different and yes
from the Jimmy's and Joe's
336
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,700
perspective, the defensive end
position is something that you
337
00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:27,600
kind of question marks about the
Mike linebacker position is
338
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,400
something that we don't know
what's going on over there.
339
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Defensive back feel pretty good
about defensive back but I'm
340
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,800
interested to see how the
defense looks differently from
341
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,200
the third and Long perspective,
from a first down perspective,
342
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,500
how much pressure rebuilding cuz
I do anticipate while we're
343
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:45,400
running a similar shell of a
defense, the calls.
344
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,400
And the situational things will
be completely different because
345
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,100
coach Marv is a different coach.
So that's what I'm going to be
346
00:16:50,108 --> 00:16:55,800
watching the first couple weeks.
I hear that for sure but I know,
347
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,500
but I was trying to pin Billy
down and he and he didn't want
348
00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:02,300
to but we got to give him Billy.
We got his dad.
349
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:05,099
Don't have a mic for you man.
I'm sorry McDonald.
350
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:10,500
I got you know like hey I mean
from like a killer, but he's not
351
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:12,000
a thing.
It's going to be McDonald.
352
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,000
Think it's gonna be McDonald.
I love that, man.
353
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:16,000
Yeah, yeah, he falls over that
man.
354
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,900
Not.
Well what also we got do from
355
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:21,700
VMI that might be lit.
What he legit, we don't know.
356
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:23,900
I'm here yet, still here.
You don't Schneider the transfer
357
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:30,000
from VMI, you look like dick the
same person but the middle
358
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,200
linebacker like you following
the nose Dax footsteps,
359
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,100
potentially but Stone,
Schneider.
360
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:38,900
I think it's gonna To make some
major noise when he gets here
361
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,600
but he's not here.
So the McDonald Brothers the you
362
00:17:41,608 --> 00:17:42,800
know we got one at defensive
end.
363
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,100
We got one at Mike and pry loves
them both.
364
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:48,300
He he actually said that, I
think Jordan.
365
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,600
What's the one on defensive and
they said he might be the most
366
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,100
athletic defensive end we have.
So we'll see what happens there
367
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:56,700
but the one at middle linebacker
you're right.
368
00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:59,900
It could be him Tisdale's.
The veteran though and he has
369
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:03,000
been shining lately.
At first, he wasn't even out
370
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,700
there a bunch of days.
I don't know if you had a class
371
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:08,400
thing or something, but Tisdale
obviously being the veteran.
372
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,000
It should probably be him, but I
don't know.
373
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,900
I think the thing about Tisdale
that's kind of misremembered is
374
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:18,200
a lot of people would be like,
oh, he started a couple games
375
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,600
here, did a little bit here when
he started his career in 2019
376
00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:26,000
played really really well goes
into 2020 gets covid and a lot
377
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,400
of you don't know this.
He lost close to like 30 or 40
378
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,700
pounds during covid.
So he had to reset his entire
379
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:33,500
career.
Then the next year, after that
380
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:35,800
last year, he has to sit because
of the suspension.
381
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:38,600
I really, really think which was
bullshit.
382
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:41,700
I agree.
I really think that he's a guy
383
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:45,600
that has just had such
tremendous bad luck for the last
384
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,500
two to three years and is going
to be a major major contributor
385
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:49,900
this year.
But again, if you just look at
386
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:52,700
his stat sheet, but oh he
started a couple of times.
387
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:55,200
Now, he's been through so many
different things and I hope this
388
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,500
is the year that he can come out
and shine.
389
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:59,000
So I'm excited.
I'm excited to watch him play
390
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,600
this year.
The one thing to get excited
391
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,100
about kind of piggyback on what
Billy said is, if you talk about
392
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:07,400
the guys that they're talking
about Make the position.
393
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,500
What you?
And no disrespect the Dax,
394
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:12,600
that's don't kick my ass.
If you're around here.
395
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,900
He wasn't as athletic as some of
the guys that they're putting
396
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:18,500
their.
So he got put in some bad spots.
397
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:21,800
Getting beat to the edge getting
put in some coverage, has some
398
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,100
of those guys that they are
putting in those spots a little
399
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:26,800
bit more athletic.
So it does allow us to do some
400
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,800
different things on defense that
we may have not been able to do
401
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,100
in the past.
That's a good point and before
402
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,700
we take a quick break here, is
there any final thoughts on just
403
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:37,500
the position by Idols, Dan, you
got something?
404
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:39,800
Yeah, I think one thing is for
certain that we learned about
405
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,900
prai is that he's not afraid to
switch people around, figure it
406
00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:45,800
out, see what works best.
So I wouldn't be surprised if
407
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,000
there's more shuffling after
today, you know.
408
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,600
Yeah, no, I know you're
absolutely right.
409
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,900
There's there is 100% going to
be more shuffling that goes on
410
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:59,100
after today as you guys know.
Yes, I was at a certain point in
411
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:02,000
a spring practice Billy Mitchell
had never taken a meaningful
412
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,700
snap.
I did play in a couple of games.
413
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:06,200
I went into a spring practice as
the one tackle.
414
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:09,700
They roll everybody and want to
see how everybody's going to
415
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:12,600
react.
So for a roster to be tweeted
416
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,900
out before in practice,
legitimately its musical chairs
417
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:18,000
in every single room.
What's up?
418
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Was it irresponsible of Andy to
do that?
419
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,400
They vary it very well may have
been but it was good.
420
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,000
Father, we were able to talk
about, so yeah, it worked for
421
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,100
him.
All right, we're going to take a
422
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:30,400
break, everyone get a beer will
be back in a few minutes.
423
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,600
I will go back, Sean, Jeremy.
We are back with a couple new
424
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,700
panelists.
We got Pat Finn In one of the
425
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:38,700
other founding members of Sons
of Saturday.
426
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,900
And then we got Sam of Saturday
Sam, Jesse from the locks of
427
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,100
Saturday podcast.
Joining us up here as well.
428
00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:46,700
Thank you guys for being up
here.
429
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Thank you, Pete.
We were talking a little bit
430
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,300
about the spring game before and
we're going to get back into the
431
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:54,700
positions, but what I want to
know from you guys and someone
432
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:58,600
jump in with the answer to this,
we saw a lot of bad play all
433
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,300
over the field offense defense.
What is the position group?
434
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:06,300
You need to see improvement from
the most either today or going?
435
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:09,500
To next year to make you feel
better, offensive line,
436
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:13,400
offensive line, defensive line
but not just the five starters.
437
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,600
You know you need probably eight
or nine guys in the offensive
438
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,100
line.
Think we saw that last year
439
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:21,900
where second unit of the
offensive line really struggled.
440
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,500
Hopefully you can see a few
extra guys in there to build
441
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:27,000
some death.
Yeah I mean offensive lines the
442
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,800
easy answer like it was it was
very poor.
443
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,500
I want to see those wide
receivers that came in the
444
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:35,600
transfer portal like really
improved because if they can't
445
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,600
get open, I've everything works
in unison, right?
446
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,900
You need the QB to throw to the
wide receiver, Steve the wide
447
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:43,500
receivers to get open, so we can
catch it.
448
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:47,100
We need to see the QB play
improve, but the wide receiver
449
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:49,100
play.
If that improves, it's going to
450
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:51,000
make everything easier on
offense as well.
451
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,800
Is there anything else you wish?
Here's my thing.
452
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,900
Pete, you know, getting beat on
a play every now and then that's
453
00:21:56,900 --> 00:21:58,600
one thing that happens, that's
football.
454
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:04,100
But the priest that penalties,
that killed drives or crazy.
455
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:08,400
Like you can't, you can't be
like You know 4th and 2 and all
456
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,100
of a sudden, there's a false
start and it's more than seven.
457
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:12,500
Now you've got to punt the ball,
you know, like we need to see
458
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:16,200
the discipline you be there like
no more priests that penalties.
459
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:19,000
Very rare.
That's just mental has nothing
460
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,900
to do with ability so that's why
we need to.
461
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,900
We need to Shore that up buddy.
Yeah, absolutely.
462
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:27,700
I will say that the mental side
of it was big for me last year.
463
00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:31,100
We're looking at the offensive
line they were thinking too
464
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:31,900
much.
It looked like they were
465
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:34,800
thinking too much and when
you're thinking as an offensive
466
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,300
line it's going to be a Trouble.
You're going to have bad
467
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:40,300
penalties.
You're going to have complete
468
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:42,700
brain farts.
When it comes to what your
469
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:45,400
assignment is because you're
overthinking the process.
470
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,900
So I'd like to see them get a
little more acclimated to this
471
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:52,500
process and just get it going.
Less thinking is always good in
472
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:55,600
football, right?
Like just get it and go right
473
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,400
and that's what the new
offensive line coach.
474
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,200
Ron Cook has been talking about,
is it's it's maybe not as
475
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,700
complicated.
I think you spoke to that
476
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,800
earlier and less thinking for
some of these kids is a lot
477
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,400
better.
Last year, we had a breakout
478
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,600
player in the spring game.
It was really the only thing in
479
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,300
the spring game and it was kind
of fun to watch was Caleb Smith.
480
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:14,900
We all remember him catching a
few deep bombs.
481
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,600
Sadly Caleb's no longer with us.
He's alive, he's just on a
482
00:23:18,608 --> 00:23:22,300
convention but thanks for
clarification.
483
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:25,400
Who is who is going to be this
year's Caleb Smith today?
484
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:28,300
Who are we going to see?
Make a long catch.
485
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:31,300
Make up a bone-crushing, hit,
get an interception.
486
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:32,400
Like who's that going to be
today?
487
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,700
Pat you go.
First, I want to see Bay Shield
488
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:37,300
tootin.
I think I said that correctly.
489
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,800
Darn tootin, darn tootin.
I want to see him darn tootin
490
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,300
all the way to the end zone
today.
491
00:23:42,300 --> 00:23:44,700
The and the ni L is there on
that one, by the way, we need
492
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:47,400
that.
Also guys who have, you know,
493
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,300
wrote about him when he was in
the transfer portal.
494
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:53,400
This is a guy who had offers to
Georgia, a bunch of other UNC.
495
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,400
So this is a guy really wanted
everyone who's talking about his
496
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,100
film and I was like, this is not
an FCS running back.
497
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:04,200
This is a D1 high-level running
back, so to bring him in, that's
498
00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:05,800
I mean, that's basically like
bringing in a four-star.
499
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:07,900
Our recruit right when you bring
in a guy like that, when you
500
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:10,700
bring in a guy like Ali
Jennings, I really like tune.
501
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:15,400
Jalen Lane is really
interesting, he tore it up with
502
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,100
Middle Tennessee.
They run like an air raid
503
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:20,500
system, but he is really fast,
he's really good at that.
504
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:23,500
Slip screen tunnel screen as a
wide receiver, and he's not a
505
00:24:23,508 --> 00:24:26,100
guy, you have to worry about,
dropping the ball, missing an
506
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,400
assignment, he's been like a
three-year starter Middle
507
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,900
Tennessee.
He's a guy who can come in and
508
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:33,500
make plays give technical extra
boost of pace.
509
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,800
I like Jane Lane and they've
been talking a lot.
510
00:24:35,900 --> 00:24:38,700
Lot about how he's had an effect
on the locker room.
511
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:40,900
His leadership is good.
They like the way he goes about
512
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:43,400
his business, all the buzz
things that you'll hear about a
513
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,100
player, but I haven't
necessarily heard him like
514
00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:50,800
wowing with with various place.
So he is definitely on my list.
515
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,300
He was top 25 in the country in
yards per game.
516
00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:56,100
Last year, as was Ali Jennings
who was actually like number
517
00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:58,300
three in the country in yards
per game, which is absurd.
518
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,300
I want to see both those guys go
off.
519
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:05,300
You mentioned, tooting coming
from FCS How easy do you think
520
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:07,300
that transition for some
positions?
521
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:10,000
They come from have see if it's
an offensive lineman I feel like
522
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,800
that's a hard transition running
back.
523
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,600
It should be easier in my mind.
You think that's true I would
524
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,300
assume.
So with running back offensive
525
00:25:18,300 --> 00:25:21,100
line I think the biggest
difference is the size but with
526
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:26,100
running back with his skill set
make guys miss at the second
527
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:28,800
level quick burst.
Those are things that are going
528
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,200
to translate.
So, and he's a, he's a not a big
529
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,600
back but he's a, he's A stout
Runner kind of like, almost like
530
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,900
a Lee Suggs build like he's
solid and so that's something.
531
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:42,900
We've been lacking.
Malachi's slight Keshawn.
532
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:45,500
King was slight.
I want to have a guy with some
533
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:47,500
punch.
Yeah, I went to open practice
534
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:51,100
and nobody was taking that man
down and I think the whole FCS
535
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:54,500
the D1 like FBS transferred
thing.
536
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:56,500
I think it's depends because
there's a whole lot of reasons
537
00:25:56,500 --> 00:25:58,700
why people end up at FCS, right?
It could be great.
538
00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:01,800
It could be the scheme that your
offense ran in high school
539
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,900
wasn't like correct fit for you
to showcase.
540
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:05,700
Talent.
So, you didn't get recruited.
541
00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:09,200
So I think it really just
depends, but I tooten is going
542
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,800
to be the man, and my opinion.
Yes.
543
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,200
Oh, is that who you think is?
No.
544
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,600
Have a Caleb Smith day though,
because in the spirit of Kayla
545
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,100
Smith, he was a guy that came
in.
546
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:18,800
He was here for three years.
People were like, oh man, he's
547
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,700
our wide receiver, one people
doubted him and then he broke
548
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:23,500
out.
So I think it's going to be
549
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:28,500
Dorian, strong interception,
dorian's gonna be a lot going on
550
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:31,400
this year because last year
before he got hurt the receivers
551
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,200
he went up against including Ali
Jennings.
552
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:36,600
He Got like twice in his O2 you
but when you're on an island you
553
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,700
going to get got it's just part
of the game.
554
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:41,700
It's how you respond.
But I mean Bryce for Wheaton's a
555
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:45,100
flowers, he held his own against
all of them and then he got
556
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:46,900
hurt.
So, I think this year during a
557
00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:51,000
strong is gonna be the anchor on
the defense in the secondary.
558
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:53,200
I like that prediction and I
like you going with the
559
00:26:53,208 --> 00:26:54,800
defensive guy, you got someone
today?
560
00:26:54,900 --> 00:26:56,400
I got a couple.
I'm gonna go, I'll start
561
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,800
offense.
I'm going to piggyback on Lane.
562
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,100
I feel like he's got the
potential to break out
563
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,900
especially with the way we're
going to move more towards it.
564
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:07,100
Bo system, he's going to be the
guy that kind of makes that
565
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:09,100
engine run from a passing
perspective.
566
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:11,500
So I'm looking forward to see
what he can do on the defensive
567
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:14,900
side.
Give me Kelly Lawson breakout
568
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:18,500
player of the year I'm looking
for him to take a big step this
569
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:22,200
year and if he does the defense
is going to pop.
570
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:24,200
Yeah.
And Kelly Lawson's a guy they're
571
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,900
already talking about Marv.
Talk about NFL potential.
572
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:30,400
Once you start hearing that it
gets you excited and let's be
573
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,600
honest with tech the last couple
years draftees.
574
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,900
Guys like being high draft
picks.
575
00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:38,100
That's not something.
We've talked a lot about.
576
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,100
So having a guy like Kelly
Lawson who you your kind of
577
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:45,100
eyeing as that next like draft
prospect that's someone to watch
578
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:46,700
for sure.
I hope that it lives up.
579
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:50,800
He's still he can put on a lot
more size, like he's still like
580
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:53,500
skinny for being cute.
He's six foot six or something,
581
00:27:53,700 --> 00:27:56,700
but I like that pick Sam.
You did, you give me a guy?
582
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,800
I gave you jail layout, Jalen
late nights, think the defensive
583
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:05,000
backfield in general this year,
Is maybe the best position group
584
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,100
on the team running back.
I really like they got to stay
585
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:11,300
healthy.
But yeah, the defensive
586
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:14,300
backfield looks really good.
I mean, people strong canteen is
587
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:15,600
guy we haven't talked about
coming in.
588
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,300
He's been really successful.
Yeah, he was at Georgia State I
589
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:22,100
believe.
So they've been talking a lot
590
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:24,000
about canteen.
They've been talked about him a
591
00:28:24,008 --> 00:28:24,700
lot.
Yeah.
592
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,000
So I think the defensive
backfield you could see a big
593
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,900
increase in just consistency
game to game.
594
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,400
And one last thing on that
running back stuff.
595
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,400
We're talking about coming from
FCS, think about guys who leave
596
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,600
college and get drafted in the
NFL and then are awesome in the
597
00:28:42,608 --> 00:28:44,900
pros.
There's no more bigger level up
598
00:28:44,900 --> 00:28:48,200
than College to Pro and guys
can, as rookie running backs
599
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,100
we've seen it again.
And again, they're huge
600
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:51,900
contributors.
They're talking about my Eagles.
601
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:55,100
Wanted to take Bijan Robinson at
number 10 because it could push
602
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:58,000
us over the top.
And so I think with running
603
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,200
back, it's just one of those
things.
604
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,900
I'm so looking forward to
tooting this year and seeing
605
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:04,500
what he can do.
Do just talking big picture with
606
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:06,800
the spring game, I talked about
the position groups and ask you
607
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,100
guys about those, but is there
anything in particular, you need
608
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:14,900
to see today to say, okay, we're
going to win more than three
609
00:29:14,900 --> 00:29:16,900
games.
Next year, is there something
610
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:19,500
that you're looking for?
Whether it's the way, a group
611
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:24,100
plays, coaching's anything, what
just anything you can think of,
612
00:29:24,100 --> 00:29:27,000
who wants to go first?
I'll go first, let's get
613
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,900
separation for the wide
receivers.
614
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,500
If the wide receivers can get
separation, make throws easier
615
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:33,500
for the quarterback.
That's going to go a long way
616
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:35,100
for us having success in the
passing game.
617
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,200
That's a great one.
And I think I actually that's
618
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,400
what I was talking about with
Robbie and our podcast not so
619
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,400
long ago.
I need to see that separation.
620
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,000
We need to make it easy on these
quarterbacks who no one's.
621
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,200
Lighten it up, right?
Give them, we need to give them
622
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,000
all the help.
They can get go ahead Dan.
623
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:52,600
I need to see a separation and
then also need to see the
624
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,400
offensive line.
Give both Grant and drones time.
625
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,900
So we can actually see true
quarterback competition because
626
00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:01,800
if one of them's just scrambling
for their life running for like
627
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,400
China, Save their ass and we're
not going to seek shit.
628
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,800
Well, if you remember the white
team last year I believe Jason
629
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,800
Brown was the Quarry.
He could he couldn't pass it.
630
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,000
All he had no shot.
He had no chance they worship
631
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:14,700
they.
And so hopefully today, the
632
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,200
teams are a little bit more even
and we're going to ask Sam in
633
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,200
our next segment to kind of give
us some props for the game.
634
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:23,400
But yeah we need to see
protection and it's weird
635
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,700
because you want to see a pass
rush but you also want to see
636
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:28,300
protection and that's the
balance of the spring game but
637
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:32,100
you can usually kind of tell as
the game goes on like okay, that
638
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:34,700
group.
Well that crew didn't Pat, did
639
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:37,300
you have a choice for something?
You want to see today to make
640
00:30:37,300 --> 00:30:38,800
you feel better going into next
season.
641
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,100
I want to see some
aggressiveness from the
642
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:44,400
defensive line you know.
I feel like so many times we
643
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,300
were not putting enough pressure
on the quarterback and we
644
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:52,300
weren't forcing enough bad
decisions and obviously you know
645
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,900
when they're going against our
own offensive line it's like we
646
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:59,500
want to see more protection from
them too but I think we really
647
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:01,600
do need to see some more
explosiveness from the guys
648
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,800
coming around the edge.
You know, and aggression is
649
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,600
something that can be shown in
the spring game.
650
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:08,900
You're not going to hit guys
after the whistle or knock their
651
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:12,200
helmets off, potentially, but
like you need to see.
652
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,200
Yeah, you want to see
aggressiveness, do you want to
653
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,800
see them running to the ball?
Any final observations?
654
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,100
Before we end this segment?
This sounds kind of weird, but,
655
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:21,000
like, aggressive play calling.
Like, I don't want to see a
656
00:31:21,008 --> 00:31:24,400
bunch of 32 Dives out there.
Billy says, they're only running
657
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,800
sixth place today.
I mean, they probably are and
658
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,900
you're probably working with
like two or three pages of
659
00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:32,300
Playbook.
It's gonna be vanilla and that's
660
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:34,100
Hey, but let's make it a really
good vanilla.
661
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,200
Thank, you know, it can be
really exciting.
662
00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:38,200
Hello.
Well, Andy bitter.
663
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,300
And Chris Coleman they were on
TSL earlier this week talking
664
00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:44,100
about the spring game and I felt
like it was getting beaten into
665
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:46,100
my brain.
How much this is not a game at
666
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:48,800
how much it doesn't matter.
And, and basically, if there any
667
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,200
guy has like an ankle twist
there just like shouldn't play
668
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,000
that, annoys me to no end.
This is an opportunity to be on
669
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,400
a stage.
See how these guys react under
670
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,000
the lights, all that kind of
stuff.
671
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:02,300
And I I'm with Sam, you need to
show me something.
672
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,100
I need to see some short
tackling.
673
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:07,800
I need to see clean blocks.
I need to see guys breaking
674
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,600
those tackles it's this is such
a good opportunity to learn how
675
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,400
these guys perform on a stage.
And I don't like it when it's
676
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,200
taken lightly and I maybe I'm
maybe I'm the minority here, but
677
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:21,600
I was so tired of hearing it.
I love Andy, I love Chris but
678
00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:23,200
don't don't dumb down a spring
game.
679
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,800
I love the spring game.
Let's see what happens.
680
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,400
Yeah, I think will be
disappointed.
681
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,300
We see nothing, but a dive, a
little quick out to the tight
682
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:31,600
end and then a Depo.
Like, give me something
683
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,800
different a little Don't show
the whole Playbook but give me
684
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,400
something to get excited about
absolute.
685
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,200
Sounds kind of lame but like
have fun out there.
686
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,900
Yeah like this should be the
most fun game we watch.
687
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:43,900
It should be balls to the wall.
Throw the ball.
688
00:32:43,900 --> 00:32:46,000
Deep Blitz every play.
Have fun out there.
689
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,200
Give people a show.
People drove down here.
690
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,700
Spend a lot of money come down
here to support the team, put on
691
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:53,400
a show for.
Yeah, and we can learn anything
692
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,300
from the women's basketball team
and Kenny Brooks.
693
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:57,300
And all those girls, they made
it fun.
694
00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:01,000
Don't they just made the sport
fun in a time when sometimes
695
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,200
that's not it.
Sounds corny.
696
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:06,300
But that's not what happens all
the time and so I, you're right,
697
00:33:06,300 --> 00:33:08,500
have some fun out there.
I think we could see some
698
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:10,300
aggressiveness though.
It was an open practice.
699
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:13,200
You couldn't touch the
quarterback but I mean Antonio
700
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,800
Cotman got yelled at by
preferred like stop touching the
701
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,700
quarterback.
I want to see that type of dog
702
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:19,800
like make them tell you to chill
out.
703
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,400
Like I want that bring that shit
now and I'm with you like I
704
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,700
think the years ago, they were
talking about how someone hit
705
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:29,700
Michael Vick out of balance and
a spring game and I don't want
706
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:31,600
to see any of that.
But I do want to see.
707
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,700
I do want to Some hits.
I do want to see some
708
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:38,400
intelligent recklessness fact.
That was that was well, put
709
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,600
we're going to cut it off there.
Take another break, we'll be
710
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:45,300
back in a couple minutes, hot
mic, hot mic, hey bad about

00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:47,000

00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,900

third segment, we have Ed

We got Sam, Jesse from the locks

723
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,100
Sam looks different than this
pictures on Twitter.
724
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:40,800
I hope in a good one.
He's prettier.
725
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,199
Oh thank you.
Thank you.
726
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:49,000
We have an unsung hero.
The Mask has been removed from
727
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,100
Spider-Man over here.
Dan, AKA treadmill, horse,
728
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:57,200
what's going on?
Hey guys, thanks for having me
729
00:34:57,500 --> 00:35:00,100
if y'all ain't following this
man on Twitter, please go do it.
730
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,200
He puts out some great fucking
tweaks and when he walked up to
731
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,300
me, he did not introduce himself
with Dan.
732
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:09,300
He was like, Hey, I'm Trent, I'm
treadmill horse.
733
00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:12,900
Shout out to mr.
Horse our guy.
734
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,000
And hence, or and mrs.
Horace.
735
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:20,500
And then, of course, we have J.
Ta Ka tally bands on this panel,
736
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:23,400
the do not take shots with
Jeremy.
737
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:27,200
The Jamin, the Jameson is
kicking in, and I'm hot.
738
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,800
And my glasses is fogged up, so
I can't see.
739
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,200
So, I took a shot and then I
said, hey, what are you
740
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,300
drinking?
Let me have something to chase
741
00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:39,100
this week.
It was more Jameson.
742
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:43,600
There we go, there we go.
And then this if you didn't
743
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,700
already know, this is Pat Finn
in the captain's chair for this
744
00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:51,100
final segment on this Saturday.
Okay so we're gonna be talking
745
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:53,500
tailgating we're gonna be
talking eating and drinking,
746
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:56,000
we're going to be talking all
that good stuff hokey Twitter.
747
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,100
We got five hokey Twitter, studs
up here.
748
00:35:58,100 --> 00:35:59,700
So I will be talking about that
too.
749
00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:04,800
So the first question is for
Sam, Jesse over there.
750
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,200
Sam locks the Saturday guy give
us an over-under for the point.
751
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,700
Total in Today is game.
What do you thinking?
752
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,300
All right, so thought a bit
about this.
753
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:16,400
And if you aren't aware of the
format for the game today is
754
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,700
going to be regular for 15
minute quarters running clock in
755
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:21,700
the second half.
So they should get a lot of time
756
00:36:21,700 --> 00:36:24,900
out there over under for the
game crunch.
757
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:27,400
The numbers looked at it.
I'm going to set it at 31 and a
758
00:36:27,408 --> 00:36:30,200
half.
What are we feeling last year?
759
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,300
Score was like what 2117
something like that?
760
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,400
It's low, but I mean, what are
you expecting to see today?
761
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,800
Because probably going to get
drones and wells in the first
762
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,400
half.
Half.
763
00:36:40,900 --> 00:36:43,600
Maybe a little bit of drones in
the second half, but probably
764
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,900
won't see wells in the second
half.
765
00:36:44,900 --> 00:36:47,700
So what are you feeling?
31 and a half.
766
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:51,300
Always take the under in the
spring game, always, it's always
767
00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:54,000
a low-scoring game every single
time, that's sharp.
768
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,500
Yeah, the defense is definitely
a head of the offense.
769
00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:58,500
I would say, in terms of
experience, we're getting ready
770
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:00,100
for the year.
So, I'll hammer the under there.
771
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,700
I love that.
You just made these lines up
772
00:37:01,700 --> 00:37:03,500
yourself.
It's phenomenal, content.
773
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:07,900
Hey, sounds like a pretty
unanimous on hammering, the
774
00:37:07,900 --> 00:37:11,300
under, in the spring game.
Got a couple of the props for
775
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:12,000
you.
Let's hit it.
776
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:16,200
It's so great.
Wells, over under nine and a
777
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,200
half completions today.
He had eight last year with a
778
00:37:19,207 --> 00:37:22,900
couple of big plays though, over
under nine and a half recurrent
779
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:24,300
Wells.
How many completions to the
780
00:37:24,300 --> 00:37:28,000
other team That does not count
but we'll get to that in a sec.
781
00:37:28,300 --> 00:37:32,400
My bad.
Any other prop said, well,
782
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,200
Hammer the under on everything
including complete.
783
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,300
Well, okay, Chiron, drones
seven-and-a-half completions
784
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,400
under under under.
I hope we see him run a bit, the
785
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,000
expectations are very low from
this panel, all right?
786
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,800
I'm not even gonna do passing
yards, then do we get 200
787
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,300
passing yards in total in the
game.
788
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,300
Yes, yes.
Okay.
789
00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:53,800
They'll be, they'll be a couple
long plays.
790
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,900
We'll go with that.
All righty, turnovers one and a
791
00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:59,600
half over under one and a half
turnovers.
792
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,000
I think you over.
Yeah you always get a couple
793
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,700
turnovers in the spring game.
I think we'll get two or three.
794
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,900
All right what do you got?
Ed okay.
795
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:11,300
Under will go under there.
I hope mean I would hope that
796
00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:14,000
the quarterbacks are under too
much pressure and as a result
797
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,600
don't turn it over so we'll go
under will go with one but not
798
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,300
to one.
Okay.
799
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:20,300
I would like to see only one
maybe like a nice diving
800
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:23,200
interception somewhere.
No fumbles all Securities job
801
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,000
security.
All right, this is a fun one.
802
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:31,600
First play of the spring game
rush or Yes, we'll get the juice
803
00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:35,100
on to rush at like - 150.
If you aren't familiar with
804
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:37,500
bedding prices, that means that
it is favored.
805
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:41,100
Rusher pass what about puns or
field goal?
806
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:43,200
What are the odds like plus 900
on its?
807
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,000
This is a two-way Market but we
can begin to first drive props,
808
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,800
we can do all that.
So I Pat has them punting on
809
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,800
first down.
Yeah, I've been chat with Stu
810
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,500
hold, he's gonna punt on first
down.
811
00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:59,500
I think it's gonna be Rush up
the middle to Basil tune.
812
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:01,900
Rush by tuning on the first
play.
813
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:05,800
I like that.
They Crush Rushford quite a rush
814
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,400
by maokai Thomas.
I'm gonna switch it up.
815
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,900
I think we're going to see a
play action pass.
816
00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:13,400
First play, play action pass,
five yard out, route to the
817
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,900
tight end.
I think that's what we're going
818
00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:20,700
to see first play, which tight
end, Nick gallop.
819
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,500
Maybe maybe, maybe nagala the
right hurt.
820
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,600
Is right for you?
I think rights good to go.
821
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:30,100
Okay.
Um but you know I do will see
822
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:31,900
today.
It's always tough with injuries
823
00:39:31,900 --> 00:39:33,300
in the spring.
A lot of times, I keep that
824
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:36,200
under wraps or four guys, just
feeling a little off, they won't
825
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,700
play him today.
So we're not.
826
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,800
I don't think there's going to
be a hard and fast injury report
827
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,500
for today until right before
kickoff.
828
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,600
Definitely, and that's all,
that's all I got for any other
829
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,900
generates out there are you got
that was a lot.
830
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,500
A lot of stuff right there.
I can I can get I can get you
831
00:39:51,500 --> 00:39:53,400
more.
Can do a little side Sportsbook
832
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,800
here.
When we get off the mics, y'all
833
00:39:54,800 --> 00:40:01,500
better put this man on FanDuel.
Thank you, Sam, fantastic props
834
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:04,900
thrown around there.
All right, so we're gonna move
835
00:40:04,900 --> 00:40:07,500
this discussion over to the
twittersphere.
836
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,600
There's been a lot of different
personalities or personas here
837
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,300
up on this panel.
It begs the question.
838
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,200
If there's something big that
happens in Hokie nation which
839
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,900
outlet and or Twitter person,
are you Looking for a reaction
840
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:26,500
from first.
Dan will start with you.
841
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,200
All right.
There's, there's a bunch.
842
00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:31,700
I mean, since he's here, I
always look at what hokey
843
00:40:31,700 --> 00:40:33,500
Pharmacy had to say.
You had to take a little bit of
844
00:40:33,508 --> 00:40:37,800
a caishen from Twitter.
I like his opinions on things, I
845
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,000
looked at P.
So Pete always has really good
846
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,600
opinions, like obviously, the
sun's like whatever, the Suns
847
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,400
have to say, Billy and Pat, I
listen to them.
848
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:51,000
Like, if like, if it's something
really big 0x, doesn't always
849
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000
like chime in but if it's
something big, I listened to X.
850
00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:57,800
Yeah, I mean, I'd say those are
the big ones, but yeah, I mean
851
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,600
honestly, I'm trying to see like
a lot of perspectives, like, big
852
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,800
accounts, small accounts as want
to see what everyone's saying.
853
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,300
And just kind of get a, get a
feel for what the fan base is
854
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:09,900
thinking tally, you look like
you're ready to jump in here and
855
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:11,800
I was just listening.
I was trying to listen to what
856
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,300
everybody had to say, I guess if
it comes down to it, I'm on
857
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:20,800
start a space.
And I'm gonna hear from user
858
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,300
five, seven, nine three, seven,
eight in the, in the
859
00:41:24,300 --> 00:41:25,100
twittersphere.
Hi.
860
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,500
Oh bad.
We suck and how nothing is
861
00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:29,700
going, right?
But not if I'm if I'm if
862
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:33,100
something goes on I'm probably
going to look at Don V.
863
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:36,500
I look at Don these tweets.
I look at Pete, Pete and done
864
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:39,100
via is probably the most
controversial that you can go
865
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:43,700
with because Pete doesn't give a
damn like he knows how to stir
866
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:48,000
people up.
I like that treadmill, treadmill
867
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,000
horse, I like seeing treadmill
horses stuff as well.
868
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:56,300
So probably my three would be
Pete Dunn V and tread Gotta give
869
00:41:56,300 --> 00:41:58,800
some big respected Pete here,
the man.
870
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,800
Hey big big time.
Pete helped get this set up here
871
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,000
but Pete is always bringing data
to the table.
872
00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:08,200
Always bringing data which I
absolutely love and it always
873
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,600
stirs up some good, some good
discussion.
874
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:12,900
Say I'm, it looks like you're
ready to jump in.
875
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:15,700
Oh shoot.
Well, I would say on a more
876
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:18,800
serious football level Dwight
Vic is is really informative and
877
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,400
I think he does a great job of
giving an informed opinion, but
878
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,300
also like letting his fandom
talk a bit.
879
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:25,700
Right?
So I like, That and then of
880
00:42:25,707 --> 00:42:29,700
course, Diablo fan account.
I mean, if tech has a win, I'm
881
00:42:29,700 --> 00:42:32,300
refreshing Twitter for that
video edit because I got our
882
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:34,700
show personally to, he hasn't
locked and loaded for every
883
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:36,800
situation.
Yeah, that was gonna be my
884
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,000
answers.
Well, I go straight for the
885
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,600
memes.
Straight for Diablo wish you
886
00:42:39,607 --> 00:42:42,600
could be here today.
But yeah, he's my number one
887
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,000
seed, for sure, but for you, no
real content.
888
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,500
We are as a fan base, pretty
blessed to have a lot of awesome
889
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:49,100
content creators.
So there's never a shortage of
890
00:42:49,100 --> 00:42:50,500
Virginia Tech content on the
timeline.
891
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,700
Ya gotta shout out will and Kris
and all the folks over at ESL.
892
00:42:54,700 --> 00:42:57,800
There's always good stuff coming
from over there, Billy Ray's
893
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,400
over here and he always has some
type of content going out
894
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,100
whether it's hey we're getting
too excited or hey you guys need
895
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:11,200
to calm down they'd be so pissed
at Billy people be so pissed at
896
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,600
Billy for there's nothing
there's nothing like when Billy
897
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,700
puts out like a two minute
monologue in the car, always in
898
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:22,100
the car in in the hey you know
I've already I'm on my way to
899
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:26,400
this place and I just had I saw
some Nonsense going on on the
900
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,100
TL.
And I had to just say something.
901
00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:32,400
Somebody messaged me and asked
me, does Billy have a job?
902
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:39,100
I said, I don't fucking know.
This is it whenever thumb goes
903
00:43:39,100 --> 00:43:40,400
on?
He is breaking news.
904
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,600
He's on it.
And if y'all have not met Pat,
905
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,000
he has probably the most perfect
teeth I've ever seen.
906
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,800
Just let y'all know and he's
taller than I thought too.
907
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,000
I am single ladies.
He's single.
908
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:00,200
I bet he's smart too.
I did not pay tally for these
909
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,300
endorsements but I do
appreciate, yes.
910
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,200
All right idea.
This is a fun one, especially on
911
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,900
a weekend, like spring game
weekend.
912
00:44:07,900 --> 00:44:10,600
When Soma a cast of characters
comes in town.
913
00:44:10,700 --> 00:44:12,400
You never know who you're going
to run into.
914
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,600
Who is the coolest person /
player?
915
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,400
/ Ho Chi that you have met or
you might still be looking to
916
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,500
meet during this trip in
Blacksburg.
917
00:44:21,500 --> 00:44:24,600
So who's the coolest Is that
you've gotten to chill with here
918
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,800

00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:33,400
is just an awesome guy.
So I'll start with this cam.
921
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,100
Chancellor's at the bar at camp
chairs was pretty cool to me so
922
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:39,300
I don't know if he's still
there, but it's pretty good.
923
00:44:39,300 --> 00:44:43,600
He's a pretty nice house here.
New well he was here before this
924
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,500

Great to have him back in
Blacksburg at me.

Like a cult hero in Blacksburg

947
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,900
What a warrior on the field.
You see him?

pocket.

00:46:16,500 --> 00:46:21,500
to let y'all know was not my guy
but I have not met a lot of
960
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:24,200
people that I'm going to meet
because I got caught up at the
961
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:29,300
casino last night shooting craps
with James, I don't know who
962
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:31,700
James is.
Bristol.
963
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,700
I was in Bristol, man.
It wasn't even done.
964
00:46:34,700 --> 00:46:37,000
They just, let me in, they say,
we're still building it.
965
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:40,500
Come on in, spend money.
But later on, I'm going to meet
966
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:45,300
Dwight Brandon Hill, but from
the people, I meet drifts pretty
967
00:46:45,300 --> 00:46:47,900
cool.
Drifting is outside from the
968
00:46:47,900 --> 00:46:50,000
dress?
Yeah, shout out the drift.
969
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:53,100
I can't say I met be fish,
because he's late.
970
00:46:53,100 --> 00:46:55,800
He just walked in Dan.
He Is Alive.
971
00:46:55,900 --> 00:46:57,300
That's be fishy.
Is alive.
972
00:46:57,300 --> 00:47:02,300
Everybody Jeremy again.
I've been in a group chat for
973
00:47:02,300 --> 00:47:06,100
like four years, and this is my
first time seeing people in real
974
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:10,800
time, Billy is bigger than heat
and I thought he was so all of
975
00:47:10,808 --> 00:47:13,800
your people on Twitter, you
better leave him alone because
976
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,500
if you catch all in Food Lion,
he probably gonna kick your ass.
977
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,500
Leave me alone.
That's a big dude man.
978
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,600
Shout out today and as well.
P everybody, man.
979
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,700
I'm just happy to be here.
So, beautiful day.
980
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:26,700
Y'all look like y'all eatin.
Good.
981
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,900
I got some wings ordered.
We're feeling good.
982
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,300
We good to go man.
Thales Ben's, wonderful day.
983
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,600
My shout out goes and I'm
surprised.
984
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,600
I haven't heard it yet.
David Wilson.
985
00:47:40,700 --> 00:47:42,800
Did anyone get to talk with him
last night?
986
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:50,100
But exactly, yeah, David Wilson
is absolutely hysterical.
987
00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:53,900
Like that guy is so much fun.
He was doing backflips, last
988
00:47:53,900 --> 00:47:56,100
night.
He was performing last night,
989
00:47:56,300 --> 00:47:59,400
and I was like, hey David, you
know, I know when you were here,
990
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,400
you Ran up on top of Castle.
He's like, you know what we need
991
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,800
to do.
I want to do it again.
992
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,700
And we should get like a crowd
in like sell tickets, but
993
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,500
hanging out with David Wilson
was definitely a highlight of
994
00:48:12,508 --> 00:48:14,800
the weekend for me.
So it was fired up that he was
995
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:19,200
in town.
All right, tailgate time we're
996
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,000
almost there.
I know you guys are trying to
997
00:48:21,008 --> 00:48:26,200
tailgate today best and favorite
tailgate, food and drink.
998
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,600
I'm sorry, this route.
I start this.
999
00:48:29,900 --> 00:48:34,700
So, one of my first games that I
came up here was in 2016.
1000
00:48:34,700 --> 00:48:37,800
I came to the Miami game is on a
Thursday night.
1001
00:48:37,900 --> 00:48:41,000
Now, I'm from Alabama, I'm a big
dude from Alabama, right?
1002
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,600
So I go in this tailgate, with
one of my buddies that I know.
1003
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,800
And the first thing that
somebody from, I don't know,
1004
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,700
pick a town in Virginia.
He's like, are we eating bear?
1005
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,900
I was like, they're like, what
does it taste like?
1006
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:54,000
He was like, it tastes like
bear.
1007
00:48:54,300 --> 00:48:58,300
So I bear and it tasted good.
I probably won't eat it any
1008
00:48:58,300 --> 00:49:01,900
again.
But that's the best the best
1009
00:49:01,900 --> 00:49:03,500
food that I've tasted cuz it's
different.
1010
00:49:03,500 --> 00:49:05,300
Like I eat all kinds of shit
from Alabama.
1011
00:49:05,700 --> 00:49:12,000
Pig feet pigtails pick toes
whatever so moonshine, I got
1012
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,400
some peach moonshine outside.
That's probably going to be the
1013
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:23,000
best drink of the tailgate Dan.
I'm gonna go a little bit like a
1014
00:49:23,008 --> 00:49:25,700
little bit weird here but I
pregame ritual is like me.
1015
00:49:25,700 --> 00:49:29,100
And my wife, every time we're in
town, we go to tots and we get a
1016
00:49:29,107 --> 00:49:32,500
Top Chef.
Rail, it has you haven't got the
1017
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:35,400
top shelf, real top, you gotta
go.
1018
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,200
It's $30.
So it's not cheap but it's worth
1019
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,800
it it's awesome.
Every time I'm here for a game
1020
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,300
go to tots top-shelf rail.
You got to do it, he's Rich.
1021
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,100
Yeah I got to say we did an
article on Sunday and
1022
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:57,300
Saturday.com last summer, I
believe it was ranking the top
1023
00:49:57,300 --> 00:49:59,600
20 tailgate foods, and number
one that people.
1024
00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:02,000
Stood in was just fried chicken.
And I think there's just
1025
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,600
something about like, little bit
of grease on your hands at a
1026
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,600
tailgating Fried.
Chicken is just the best
1027
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,100
tailgate food on Earth.
As far as drink, it totally
1028
00:50:11,100 --> 00:50:15,500
depends on the weather. 100%
depends on the weather but a
1029
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:18,400
picture of what, what is this?
We got, but, but Miller Lite,
1030
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:21,100
pitcher a Miller Lite, nice and
refreshing.
1031
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,800
Basically hydration with water.
So yeah, it's healthy.
1032
00:50:25,500 --> 00:50:29,300
So I gotta get with that.
Yeah, for the early season, warm
1033
00:50:29,300 --> 00:50:31,400
weather.
James absolutely Miller Lite
1034
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,400
later in the year when it gets
cold, you can mix in some
1035
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,300
bourbon stuff like that.
Shout out the Jeremy as far as
1036
00:50:37,300 --> 00:50:38,800
food.
Anything off the grill, burgers,
1037
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,600
hot dogs, sausage chicken.
Anything that someone made at
1038
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,800
the tailgate is always a go to
if you got a grill at the
1039
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,200
tailgate, that's a that's a win.
Your you won the day already.
1040
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,300
You did your job as a fan if you
showed up with a grill to the
1041
00:50:51,300 --> 00:50:54,700
tailgate, my favorite tailgating
drink.
1042
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,800
I think when I think of fall in
football, I think of like
1043
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,500
bourbon and whiskey.
Yes.
1044
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,100
Yesterday we played in the the
golf tournament and they had
1045
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:06,400
Jack and Coke in a can fire, it
was awesome.
1046
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:09,200
And I was having a sip of, I was
like, I feel like I'm I feel
1047
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,700
like it's fault, that's probably
my favorite drink.
1048
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,700
And then I like buffalo chicken
dip, man.
1049
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:17,300
But foot any dips and he dips
are what I'm gonna be looking
1050
00:51:17,300 --> 00:51:20,700
for out in the Lots after this.
All right.
1051
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,800
This next we got two more
questions here.
1052
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,100
I feel like this was put in here
specifically for the man to my
1053
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:32,500
left.
Is Enter Sandman inappropriate
1054
00:51:32,500 --> 00:51:36,100
music choice at the tailgate who
is listening to an assignment at
1055
00:51:36,100 --> 00:51:38,600
the tailgate.
Come on man.
1056
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:44,800
I understand entertain innocent
man is a great pregame ritual
1057
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,400
but I ain't nobody listening to
that at the tailgate.
1058
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,300
Is anybody listening to it at
the tailgate innocent man?
1059
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:59,900
Hey y'all he lying man.
You gotta put on some little
1060
00:51:59,900 --> 00:52:02,200
baby, we can go back to the old
school.
1061
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,700
I rather listen to Temptations
the entertainment.
1062
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,700
I'm a problem that I listened to
Enter Sandman on repeat at the
1063
00:52:08,707 --> 00:52:15,200
tailgate.
He's spending $30 on Rails.
1064
00:52:15,500 --> 00:52:19,200
That's rich.
People stuff, normal people hate
1065
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,700
doing there.
I'll even tell you as a huge
1066
00:52:21,700 --> 00:52:24,600
Metallica fan in general.
I don't even listen to Sam at
1067
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:25,600
the tailgate.
You got a week.
1068
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,000
It's got to be that one moment
and then you're done with it.
1069
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:28,900
We don't need to play it through
dress.
1070
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:31,300
Of it.
It's got to be that one special
1071
00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:33,000
moment and then you're done with
it.
1072
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:35,900
Yeah, it's very situational.
I want to hear it one time that
1073
00:52:35,900 --> 00:52:39,700
day and it better be a win after
that, while we will say it is
1074
00:52:39,700 --> 00:52:42,100
too.
I think innocent man's follows
1075
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:46,400
me because I have, I have Sirius
radio and I'll be listening to
1076
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,800
like the R&B station and
innocent man will come on.
1077
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,100
I'm like, Jesus Christ, what is
this coming from?
1078
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:56,600
So I guess I got to like the
song because it's showing up
1079
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,600
everywhere.
So Country music at the
1080
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,100
tailgate.
All right.
1081
00:53:04,300 --> 00:53:07,500
Back in the day we had to sneak
alcohol and Lane stadium before
1082
00:53:07,500 --> 00:53:12,000
they started serving beer.
What was your method of sneaking
1083
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,800
it in?
Just throw a couple airplane
1084
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,700
bottles in your pocket.
That's it.
1085
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,300
Real simple.
So what what parent really wants
1086
00:53:20,300 --> 00:53:24,400
to know was who was sticking
bottles up the but somebody was
1087
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,800
doing it.
Flask in the boot, it's a good
1088
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:29,700
move.
Yeah, that's good.
1089
00:53:29,900 --> 00:53:30,600
That's it.
Yeah.
1090
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:35,200
The back in there and you're
good to go.
1091
00:53:36,100 --> 00:53:38,300
What about you, pal?
All the above, Man, All the
1092
00:53:38,300 --> 00:53:46,000
Above.
So Pat was not sticking bottles
1093
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,400
up his butt.
All right on that note that's
1094
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,600
that's about all the time we
have here at Sharkey's but
1095
00:53:54,700 --> 00:53:56,200
wanted to thank everyone for
coming.
1096
00:53:56,300 --> 00:53:59,200
Out if you are listening wanted
to thank our friends at
1097
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,700
Sharkey's Blacksburg.
It's we're good friends.
1098
00:54:01,700 --> 00:54:04,200
Go absolutely love it.
Got to give a big shout out to
1099
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:08,400
Pete man, but I got up heat a
lot of the people working.
1100
