The Hokies found a new way to choke away a victory against the Syracuse Orange on Saturday in Lane Stadium. This loss is part of a familiar trend for the Fuente era, consistently dropping matchups where they are favored by 3 points or less. The big question after this one is where do the Hokies go from here with a bunch of road tests on the horizon.

This episode of The Boundary
Corner podcast is dedicated to

2
00:00:51,100 --> 00:00:54,100
the memory of our friend and
hokey, Brian Wilkerson.

3
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:57,700
We lost Bride on Tuesday of last
week.

4
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:01,000
And we both spent Saturday
gathered amongst his many family

5
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,700
and friends, remembering the
good times and morning the

6
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:05,900
thought of not being able to
make more of them with them.

7
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,400
Well, Brian spirit and our
memories of him will never fade.

8
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,800
Whether it was taking laps
around our hometown, and it's

9
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,100
Tahoe one times at Longwood.
Although he never claimed, he

10
00:01:18,107 --> 00:01:21,400
went to Longwood.
When the great times in

11
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,100
Blacksburg, whether it be at
hokey football games tailgates.

12
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,600
Just roaming around.
Fox Ridge.

13
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,100
And I was lucky enough to have
the pleasure of playing with

14
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:35,500
them for five years.
Playing football together, both

15
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:36,900
in middle school and high
school.

16
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:40,500
Sometimes words just don't do a
thing justice.

17
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:44,100
So if you'll bear with us we're
going to share a tribute from

18
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:46,200
our good buddy.
Jason long to a friend.

19
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,300
He'd known since elementary
school going to miss you be

20
00:01:49,300 --> 00:04:56,000
well.
Now, back to the regular show

21
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,400
Ryan, you got another pass
interference call as Jason was

22
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,600
playing at tribute to Brian
Colts.

23
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,400
Get another call.
Y'all are in the, isn't that me?

24
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,800
Say this one might be a zesty
win tonight because we got the

25
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,400
Colts in the Niners play in
here.

26
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,700
Yeah, Carson's made well
questionable.

27
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:20,900
Decisions to bank.
So the only way The only one I

28
00:05:20,907 --> 00:05:22,600
disagree.
We've ran the ball up and down

29
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,600
the field on you.
Draw, the Taylor's pushing 100

30
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,900
yards, man.
Well, he's just every the

31
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:34,900
feelings I have is every time I
looked up, it's a yellow flag

32
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:41,000
for us but let's let's jump off
that because we're going to

33
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
probably interrupt enough of our
things to my congratulations.

34
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,200
Your Braves.
Yeah.

35
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,700
Bravo's World Series.
Let's do this first time since

36
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:57,000
you were how old I was 16.
Yeah.

37
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:01,600
I'm like that 1650 actually 50.
Take that back 15.

38
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,900
You're right now?
Yeah, yeah.

39
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:08,600
The first century, the Brave and
he battles like how old was I 99

40
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:16,500
1699 was a great year and I tell
you what those jerseys look

41
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:22,200
dope.
Yeah that would tissue.

42
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,800
I mean I know I'm not, I'm not
I'm preaching to the choir here

43
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,100
but petition to make those and
then a white version of those.

44
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:34,500
Full-time uniforms and then we
can have alternate space based

45
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:38,300
off that whatever we want to do.
It's true in some people.

46
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:41,400
And I saw some people out there
saying, nah, but you need to

47
00:06:41,407 --> 00:06:45,100
have innovate and I like,
listen, you need Basics and you

48
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:48,800
need to throw in the alternates,
the up-to-date looks and stuff

49
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,300
like that, you know, every now
and then, but that was such a

50
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:57,500
clean look.
The orange number on the side,

51
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:02,100
the block lettering, the maroon
the right shade of maroon, no

52
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:04,900
Stripes.
Yeah, I said, I think that's the

53
00:07:04,907 --> 00:07:09,900
thing is that, you know, a lot
of what was done then, I mean

54
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:12,400
it's kind of the turn now,
right?

55
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,100
Like that clean.
Look, I mean, that's coming

56
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:20,400
back, it's not a flashy, you
know, there's times for that,

57
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,100
but I think the clean look is
what's really really playing

58
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:28,000
well right now and I think that
that was as clean as it gets,

59
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,200
man.
Let me bounce.

60
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,700
This idea off of you.
If you had people who are out

61
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:34,800
there like what you got to do
something different, what about

62
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,200
if the numbers were ho Keystone
like keep them white, but get

63
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,100
that outline of the Hokey Stones
where we find with that, I'd be

64
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:46,200
fine with that everything
everything else keep the same.

65
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000
The I mean, the Hokey Stone
numbers were the thing.

66
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,800
I like the most about the
current Jersey.

67
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,800
So I guess, you know, if you, if
that's the one thing you want to

68
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:56,900
squabble about that, One thing
I'm not going to push back on.

69
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,400
That's what I'd say do when you
pack do that with the letters

70
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,600
and then get the white versions
and essentially I would what

71
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,700
would you say?
Maroon maroon numbers, white

72
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:14,300
jersey maroon numbers.
Yeah, I mean tell Callie wants

73
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:19,100
orange numbers we reached a
liette tally ones orange

74
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:20,600
numbers.
At least he's not going to have

75
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,300
a white and orange could pull my
knowledge will look fine.

76
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:27,900
And then make the Seven maroon
seven, the number on the side of

77
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:29,100
the maroon.
Yeah.

78
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:31,100
Make that maroon in those
uniforms.

79
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:34,799
I'm fine with that.
Now, let's just say this, the

80
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:38,299
team that took the field
Saturday was the not the

81
00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:43,500
nineteen ninety, nineteen and
man, lot going on yesterday with

82
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:45,200
us.
But we found, we had the

83
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,200
opposite of the miracle and
Morgantown.

84
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,700
We had the blasphemy and black
Suburbans, what we had.

85
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:55,500
And, you know, everybody is
probably going to to say you

86
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:59,400
guys always crap on the offense.
Ya'll say you prese defense.

87
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,100
No.
Yesterday was the defense's

88
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:08,400
failure.
If you told us that we got 34

89
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,800
points because I'm going to, I'm
going to give the defense there

90
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,800
too, right?
Give them there because that was

91
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,500
a heck of a play that was
primarily defensive starters out

92
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:20,600
there.
If you told us we got 34 points

93
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,600
yesterday from the offense,
defense chipped in a safety.

94
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:28,100
We win this game.
If you told me, we got 4 and 24

95
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,300
touchdowns.
Two field goals.

96
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,200
Out of felt really good about
our chances to win that football

97
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,200
game.
And it wasn't enough.

98
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,200
And you know, as me and Brian
were on the road, we were

99
00:09:40,208 --> 00:09:44,700
listening to the radio broadcast
pretty much from Richmond all

100
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:47,700
the way back to our hometown and
Brian.

101
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,200
It sounded like to me like, the
defensive line was in trouble.

102
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,400
They were making mistakes.
And, you know, you mentioned

103
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,000
you, what?
I watch the tape.

104
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,300
My eyes aren't the best.
To me, it looks like, you know,

105
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:04,200
they did have some troubles, he
got pushed around some and they

106
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,800
work.
Fishing tackles for losses, in

107
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,200
sacks.
But you looked a little deeper

108
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,400
looked at more than I look to
condensed.

109
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,200
I know you got a little deeper
and found the full version.

110
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,800
What did you see?
Because you said it wasn't as

111
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,300
bad as you thought it was going
to be.

112
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:19,800
It wasn't as bad as it sounded
initially.

113
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,300
It was still not not, they're
definitely not their best

114
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:23,700
effort.
Probably one of the worst

115
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:27,300
efforts of the year, but it
wasn't the the clown show.

116
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:31,500
I was anticipating, they did get
pushed out of their gaps, a

117
00:10:31,508 --> 00:10:34,400
good, a good amount that did
result in.

118
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:38,000
Bigger Rush, Lanes, making it
harder for the linebackers,

119
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,800
making it harder for the
safety's coming up in their

120
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,400
fields, but they did a better
job of getting after the

121
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,900
quarterback, you know, a lot of
what, you know, we did miss some

122
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:48,600
tackles and that's something you
got to clean up.

123
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,100
But a lot of what happened is
that Schrader just did a really

124
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:58,100
good job of Getting through the
pass rush Lanes.

125
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:03,000
So, kind of creeping outside
underneath the, the outside guy

126
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,200
getting escaping the pocket and
then just making plays with his

127
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,900
legs.
A lot of times on some of those

128
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:12,100
pass plays that broke down and I
think more than anything, it

129
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:14,600
wasn't so much getting
physically dominated.

130
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,100
It was that over the course of
this game.

131
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:19,100
We saw depth show up again,
right?

132
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:24,500
We saw dep show up again and by
the time we were kind of getting

133
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:28,200
towards the end of Game that
defensive line had had played a

134
00:11:28,208 --> 00:11:30,500
bunch of snaps and they just
weren't quite bringing it the

135
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:33,500
same way they were even though
on the the ultimate touchdown

136
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:37,100
play, we did have a big hit on
the quarterback just before the

137
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:40,300
ball went out there and Dorian
strong Mystic by.

138
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:45,300
Yeah I mean that was just that
was just a bang-bang play in

139
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:47,400
Dorian had some other when we
will talk about during a little

140
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,200
bit he had some other places
where he probably didn't do his

141
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,000
best effort but you know he was
he was running step for step.

142
00:11:55,100 --> 00:12:00,800
Up there was just a well-thrown
ball and yeah but you did the

143
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,600
what you did.
The one thing in man coverage

144
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,500
you can't do I mean you let him
get a little bit further behind

145
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:09,700
you then you want yeah let's
talk about the flask 342.

146
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:11,800
We were going to do that a
little later on this rundown but

147
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,500
since you kind of brought it up
and brought up the point they

148
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,500
scored 14 points in the last you
know and basically three minutes

149
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:22,100
and 42 seconds and it was only
about 40 for left on the clock.

150
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:26,400
Yeah it was the depth and it
Then we went back to last week

151
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:32,000
about roster management about
recruiting and bar.

152
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,700
No, and Garbutt are good.
Some of the guys on a defensive

153
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:40,100
inside are good.
Probably a few guys could be

154
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,700
would be more of the third
rotation, not the second

155
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,700
rotation but since we're not
that deep they're only they're

156
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:51,200
up in the second rotation so you
know you sit there and it's like

157
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,200
those last three minutes what
they With a nine-point lead,

158
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,700
they go in just a couple minutes
drive down, get it within 5, and

159
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:05,400
then in about 45 seconds scored,
including 45-yard bomb.

160
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,600
And that's now the second time
it's happened in the last every

161
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,500
weeks and it's showing the depth
and it's showing where we aren't

162
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:18,600
haven't had the time to develop
more defensive end and the three

163
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,900
guys that could be potentially
playing this year.

164
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:24,100
All gone.
Yeah, I think that's, that's the

165
00:13:24,108 --> 00:13:27,900
bigger thing is that, you know,
you took a problem issue, and

166
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:30,800
then, you can pounded it with
with the three guys that had to

167
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,400
transfer out for, you know,
University related situation

168
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,600
there.
So it's very unfortunate.

169
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:42,200
Like I said, it was a situation
that we had already made pretty

170
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:48,800
rough by the fact that we had
Essentially one, I mean, in

171
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,100
theory, we were coming into this
year, you know, bar, no, not

172
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:56,900
completely knocking it out of
the park with one veteran

173
00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:59,200
defensive end.
Yep.

174
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,300
And a guy that changed positions
and then a bunch of red shirt

175
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:07,700
will technically going to be
freshman, but he's a second year

176
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:11,200
freshman, that was The Game Plan
before these guys transferred

177
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,900
out.
And now Cole Nelson, who's a

178
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:19,700
true freshman, it It's Jalen.
It's Adams who had Barry got

179
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:23,400
many steps in his career and
there's no depth at that spot.

180
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,400
And in those last those last
four drives of the two games

181
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,500
we've lost on last plays.
You could see there wasn't it

182
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:35,300
wasn't there.
And that was a lot to go into,

183
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:39,200
don't get me wrong.
I mean you know, Syracuse even

184
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,600
up to that point still had
shredded us all day.

185
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,000
I mean.
Yeah.

186
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,600
And the big thing, I say the
other thing Beeline struggle

187
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,700
with upfront was some of that
setting the edge, especially on

188
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:54,400
back side.
There was a lot of cutbacks for

189
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,600
Tucker.
He had especially the one, not

190
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,000
the one that went for the
touchdown but but the other long

191
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,600
run, he had was just a bad
contain on the back side by the

192
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,800
defensive end.
So that's got to get better.

193
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,500
You know, you got to understand
your responsibilities there in

194
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:15,100
the run and not over-pursue
where they have those Lanes.

195
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,600
To cut back and that was
consistent throughout the day.

196
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,400
There was drives where we did
better with that and were able

197
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,500
to force them off the field and
there were some drives where we

198
00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:27,900
just couldn't and it's a yo-yo,
right?

199
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:32,400
It's a big-time yo-yo it was a
yo-yo.

200
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:35,100
We're not we're not used to it
being quite as much of a yo-yo

201
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:38,200
on defense this week.
So this week we the defense was

202
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,900
a yo-yo.
We're used to the offense being

203
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:41,800
somewhat of a yo-yo.
Yes, we are.

204
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:46,900
They still were not.
They still were Our alert you

205
00:15:46,900 --> 00:15:52,000
guys watch the game, but we're
not used to the defense doing

206
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,300
this.
And this was one where the the

207
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:57,000
offense had picked them up most
of the game, and they weren't

208
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,100
able to do it late.
And I think the defense that was

209
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:03,600
just gassed.
And, you know, that's not an

210
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,700
excuse that the staff should
have been preparing them for

211
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:09,900
those situations.
I mean, at some point, you've

212
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,900
got to figure out.
I've got to have the legs and

213
00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:17,200
the bodies and the opening to
get this done at the end of

214
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,800
games.
It's true.

215
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:22,000
Brian something you talked
about, is you talk about time of

216
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,500
possession on Wednesday night
and that was pretty.

217
00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:30,500
Fair 31 to 28 pretty much.
It was almost a 31:29 type thing

218
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:33,700
so that was kept in contained.
But we just look up and down.

219
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:37,500
I mean the stats I mean, on
third and fourth down they went

220
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:40,700
11 of 20.
They went over 50% because they

221
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:45,500
were converting in 444 on forth
which weird Dreadful 12:15 for

222
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:48,100
the You're awful dog.
Shit.

223
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:55,200
What doggy and then just in
general, 550 total yards.

224
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,200
They averaged seven, a carry
Garrett Schrader.

225
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,300
Put over to 36 where he had been
averaging, like, 170.

226
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,400
We didn't force any turnovers,
you know.

227
00:17:07,099 --> 00:17:10,000
It's it was literally the worst
game, the defensive played all

228
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,500
year and wasn't it was we'd
probably say what a see game.

229
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,200
And up into the last few minutes
and then it went from a c to a

230
00:17:20,208 --> 00:17:23,000
d-minus.
But just a few days and I know

231
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,300
something you were telling me a
little bit earlier that you were

232
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:30,300
assuming to see the defensive
line, have their struggles, but

233
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:32,900
we looked at the safety stats
and it was like well seem like

234
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:35,900
just a few were cleaning up.
The messes not the case between

235
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:39,000
the safety and the linebackers
worse or better than a defensive

236
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,800
line.
For the years, I'd say

237
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,600
linebackers about what I
expected when I looked at the

238
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:51,800
tackles a lot of Apps lot of not
really seeing where the ball was

239
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,900
going and this kind of the same
with safeties.

240
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:59,000
Let's take a look at Sean
Tucker's big 4th and 1

241
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,200
touchdown.
Run Nasir people's jumps inside

242
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,300
and he didn't need to 2 ax head
that Gap.

243
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:08,300
But yeah, he's hanging around
inside and all of a sudden, cut

244
00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:12,000
back Lanes, there, nobody's
outside and it goes for six.

245
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:15,100
You know what that looked like
that looked like Carolina last

246
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:17,400
year.
Yeah, when he couldn't find the

247
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,600
right gaps, and they were just
hitting the wide open gaps from

248
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:26,200
massive gains, and that backside
of below-average game, Tisdale

249
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,500
had had a pretty, he had his day
was very up and down, he was

250
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:32,400
either making a play or he was
completely out of position.

251
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,300
And again reminds you a little
bit of last year and we hadn't

252
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:40,200
seen a game like that from this
defensive unit in the second and

253
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,100
third level until this week.
And I don't know if it was

254
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:48,100
having the Out rushing attack
from both the running back and

255
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:52,800
the quarterback had did it or
the fact that offensive line.

256
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:56,700
Sorry fact, that the offensive
line wasn't sorry.

257
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:59,200
The running game wasn't just a
product of the talent in the

258
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,100
backfield but also from the
offensive line that was a solid

259
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:06,200
offensive line combined with the
fact, they had a very talented

260
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,900
running back combined with the
fact they had a quarterback that

261
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:12,300
could run the ball well, and did
he 174 on the ground?

262
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:15,700
For great Shader, he almost
average a to carry Tucker did

263
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:20,700
what Because Tucker kept them
around in the first half, and

264
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:23,500
then, Schrader completely took
over the second half.

265
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,900
Yeah, I told you the other day,
I feel for Tucker, having this

266
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:31,600
type of season, his sophomore
here, not his junior year

267
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000
because if he would put up these
numbers and it was next year,

268
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,500
people would be talking about
him in at least the first three

269
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:41,000
rounds in.
Hopefully, for that kid, you

270
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,800
know, even though he is at a
different school, I hope that he

271
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,900
continues to success this year.
In the next year.

272
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,400
But we played with this point,
he can do whatever he wants to

273
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,900
now exactly thing, buddy.
I'll just run something, we

274
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:58,800
thought that we wouldn't see it
all now he was just under 50%,

275
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:03,600
please put 236 yards up and you
know quite a few of those yards

276
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,300
came in the last few drives when
we needed the pass rush and even

277
00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:12,100
a couple of the passing
touchdowns earlier our Corners

278
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:14,400
just didn't look right and I do
not have a wall or out.

279
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,800
There is a big thing.
Especially and this is what you

280
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,300
call a good offensive
coordinator.

281
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:22,500
As we were driving down the road
yesterday.

282
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:26,100
How many times brine in?
Just the course of about 15

283
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:28,400
minutes?
Did we hear all they're going

284
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,700
for wide here?
Essentially, we can run the

285
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:33,200
ball.
We're going to stretch you out

286
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:35,400
and even though they passed and
we broke up a couple of those

287
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,800
plays later in the game.
When they were going for Five

288
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,200
Wives to play catch-up no Waller
there, we had to put them in

289
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,300
experienced guys, playing Corner
putting Jamari out on the island

290
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:51,700
and Corner Corners had what up.
I mean, average.

291
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:55,700
It wasn't great.
No, it was, it was it was very

292
00:20:55,700 --> 00:20:58,000
much yo-yo.
There was either they were doing

293
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,400
100% what they needed to do or
they just kind of look a little

294
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,300
lost.
There was times when Connor was

295
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:09,000
out of out of position and
coverage was late, kind of

296
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,800
reading what the what the
receiver is doing in man, not

297
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,900
just not getting there on time,
there was a couple times where

298
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:18,000
Armani Chapman was kind of laid
on the break.

299
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,100
There was one.
There was like a A deep come

300
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:26,200
back, that was throw away
outside and it hung out there

301
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,300
and I was like, surely that's
going to be a pig but Chapman

302
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:33,800
was about half a second late and
didn't get his paw in there and

303
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,500
it ended up being a good
completion for a first down.

304
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:39,900
And that was kind of indicative
of how the, how the passing game

305
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:43,700
went for them.
It was balls that were sometimes

306
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:46,300
questionable but they got there.
And then there was balls that

307
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:49,200
were very much 50/50 and we just
weren't winning the battles.

308
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,700
And sometimes, It was the
corner, just not getting their

309
00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:53,500
head around.
Even when they were in position

310
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:56,000
and sometimes it was just not
one in enough.

311
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
It seemed like.
And then, of course, we had the

312
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,700
one that broke the broke the
camel's back there at the end,

313
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:06,700
which I mean, we were up.
We want to cover one, but you

314
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:09,700
made it a point to me when I hit
you up earlier.

315
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:13,600
And you just kind of said where
they were on the field and how

316
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,400
they were moving the ball
either.

317
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,900
They were going to in the time
they had left, you said either

318
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:23,700
they're going To nickel and dime
you, if you play zone, they're

319
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:25,600
going to be able to run, they're
going to be able to pass short

320
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,000
passes.
Or you're going to have to play

321
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,000
covers one cover 0, give them
nothing put a smile on a

322
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,700
quarterback and say you're not
getting past here because you

323
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:41,900
can't kick a field goal.
Past here.

324
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:45,300
And that's what it was.
It was the yet you watching.

325
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:50,800
It wasn't if it says eight-point
game if your hand is like Nickel

326
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,100
Dime has but instead you have to
go to that because of the

327
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:57,100
situation.
Well it's the failure on the

328
00:22:57,100 --> 00:22:59,600
third and fourth down to get
them off the field and then the

329
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,900
failure on the next play to
contain the screen to Tucker

330
00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:07,800
that went for another long first
down that kind of set things up

331
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,200
in motion, right?
So if you're if you're able to

332
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,100
get off the field, Field there,
you're able to let them keep the

333
00:23:13,108 --> 00:23:16,200
clock running if you're a like
if you just do some of those

334
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:21,000
little things that either bleeds
more clock or gets them off the

335
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,100
field and you don't get into
that situation.

336
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:27,700
But once you're at the 45-yard
line because that's when it gets

337
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:31,800
difficult to call the defense
because they do have just enough

338
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,700
time where if they get a first
down, they can clock.

339
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:37,700
If they still got a chance to
kick it, you get a little

340
00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:40,900
aggressive and you say, all
right, we're going to try to Or

341
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:45,200
that a little bit, bring a
little noise and it doesn't get

342
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,600
home in time.
And their receiver has about a

343
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,400
half step on our corner and
that's all it takes.

344
00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:57,000
That is all it took to
essentially finish the game

345
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000
because with 20 seconds left, it
was, it was not going to happen.

346
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:05,200
I mean, we somehow got a bomb
into the end zone to just have a

347
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,000
prayer there at the end.
I mean, that was a, it was a

348
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,600
big, big nut throw by by
Bragg's.

349
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:16,000
In this side, the 15 to kind of
get us in a position there.

350
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,400
We could at least take a shot
but you know all you don't want

351
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,300
in the situation where you're up
nine with under four minutes

352
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:28,500
left, you shouldn't be in a
situation where you're throwing

353
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:31,400
Hail Marys at the end of the
game to even have a chance.

354
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,900
It's true.
Well, even, even let's go back

355
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:37,400
to earlier.
The probably the biggest one,

356
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,500
that kind of kept them in this
game is And we'll talk about the

357
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:46,900
offenses failures on this, but
Peter more kicks a wedge that

358
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:49,200
thing flips back to the 3-yard
line.

359
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:53,600
The safety false start gets them
back to the 1.

360
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,100
And then they go on a 98 11,
play a 98-yard, 11 plays for a

361
00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:04,200
touchdown even though yes we did
block the kick and they did not

362
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,200
tie it.
But at that point in time as

363
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,000
we're listening and hearing the
game Flow me and you immediately

364
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:18,500
say if we get to 21 They can't
run the ball anymore.

365
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:22,200
They can't run the ball
effectively.

366
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,300
The essentially you're able to
sit in your zones and say, you

367
00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:27,400
know, if you run you're going to
get four yards.

368
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,000
If you pass, you're going to
have to hit your spots.

369
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,900
And essentially, we're going to
make this game longer because

370
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:35,000
we're up and eventually
straighter probably would have

371
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,400
made a mistake.
But when you have that drive

372
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,500
happening, get them right back
in the game.

373
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:44,400
You know, we did get them down
on but you felt like there were

374
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,300
times just watching it right
now.

375
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,900
Ron, we could have been up 14:21
without blinking.

376
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:56,600
Yeah, we Yeah, it seemed like
the the defense just couldn't

377
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,300
make enough plays to to get us
in that situation and then when

378
00:26:01,300 --> 00:26:04,500
the offense did have some
opportunities with short fields,

379
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:08,100
we just failed to capitalize
even though the offense overall

380
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,100
had some really good drives in
this game.

381
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:12,400
Yeah.
Sometimes when they were gifted

382
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,300
short Fields they didn't do a
whole lot with them.

383
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,500
Well, they were there were
really in the beginning of the

384
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:20,800
game.
There were two, right?

385
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:28,800
One is immediately after Hey.
Immediately after the touchdown,

386
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,200
we Fort, they Defense Forces,
one of the three and outs and

387
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:36,700
then we get it down to the tech.
You know?

388
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:40,200
We break it down to the Syracuse
45.

389
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,000
It was the play where they tried
the double reverse to Trey.

390
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,700
That completely screwed that in.
I'm sure Brian.

391
00:26:48,700 --> 00:26:49,900
Remember the plate?
We were sitting here.

392
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:52,000
Like what the bleep did you do
that for?

393
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:56,000
Like, why would you like, you
know, it's second down and it's

394
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,700
8:00, you're moving the ball
with not doing any sort of

395
00:26:59,700 --> 00:27:01,700
trickeration, right?
Yep.

396
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,800
And then they do that.
Get way backed up.

397
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,900
We blow the opportunity there to
that was right after lectures.

398
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:12,900
Big screen where you kind of
picked it up off the turf almost

399
00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:17,000
and yeah, took it 30 yards.
Exactly turn around on second

400
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,300
down and eight especially the
way we were running the ball

401
00:27:20,300 --> 00:27:25,900
pretty consistently there.
Yeah, it made no sense to do

402
00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:27,700
that.
If you had all of the month,

403
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,200
when you watch that play today,
it was a QB lead playwright with

404
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,500
the with the with essentially
rotten and then going and then

405
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:37,500
flipping it.
If you looked at that and you

406
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:41,300
look at that angle today, There
were there were holes.

407
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,200
Yeah.
If that's where you know it's a

408
00:27:44,208 --> 00:27:47,300
trick play because if that's a
read and he didn't see that

409
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,400
pulled the kid out but then
Braun, we defense holds again,

410
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,700
it's another three and out this
time again we get the ball like

411
00:27:56,700 --> 00:28:01,200
near Midfield lose.
Two yards on again that set up

412
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:06,900
the 98-yard play you had two
drives Midfield nowhere to go

413
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:09,600
you stall you wrote it was
another one where you had a good

414
00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:13,200
First down play, and then you
negated it with the negative

415
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,200
second down play.
Then he had the sack on third

416
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:20,100
that puts you in negative
yardage for the drive there, it

417
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:22,900
just it it's those little
things.

418
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:24,800
And again we're not going to
hammer the offense.

419
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,200
The offense especially the
running game overall was better

420
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:34,100
as good as we've seen all year.
This is what we kind of expected

421
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:35,800
from day one.
So I'm not going to give them

422
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,700
too much of a clap on the back.
This is what we should have been

423
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:41,500
experiencing all.
Year, especially against this

424
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:43,700
defense and they had a pretty
ever pretty good running.

425
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,700
Run rush defense but you know,
I'm glad that we've had a

426
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:49,700
commitment to the Run.
We should have had a commitment

427
00:28:49,700 --> 00:28:52,200
to the run.
When we have a quarterback that

428
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,700
has some of the limitations that
Braixen has, if you're not

429
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:58,300
committing to the run, you are
doing him a disservice, you're

430
00:28:58,300 --> 00:29:02,500
doing an absolute disservice and
then you have malachite Thomas

431
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:12,300
Freshman who comes in and goes
for over 150 yards, close to

432
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:16,200
close to 200.
Actually, 200 all-purpose yards,

433
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,700
well over that.
And two big runs 11 went for a

434
00:29:20,708 --> 00:29:24,600
touchdown, but you still sit
here, Brian and it's got to be

435
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,000
questioned because of this
coaching staff, right?

436
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,700
It happened with Hendon, hooker
in 2019, And in the press

437
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:34,000
conference, we listen to his
like, well, he had done some

438
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,800
good things in practice.
If he's doing things like that

439
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,200
in practice, he should have been
the starting running back

440
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:44,100
Carolina, not six games into the
season.

441
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:50,500
Yeah.
So again it's this I mean in he

442
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:54,600
runs hard, he has Vision right
there were a couple times.

443
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,100
You can see him in those things.
He was waiting.

444
00:29:57,100 --> 00:29:58,900
Developing a whole found the
whole, hit it.

445
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:06,600
Now and what Herbert?
Yeah, but did you notice how

446
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,400
much more we're running inside?
The tackles in this game?

447
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:16,000
It was much less of the outside
Zone, a lot more inside, a lot

448
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:22,000
more counter inside counter a
lot more power, a lot more trap.

449
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,900
I'll be there, were there were a
bunch of bunch of things going

450
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:27,800
on inside that we haven't seen a
whole lot of all year.

451
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,000
So getting that, Out there was
nice because I feel like the

452
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,700
strength of how we would our
running game is now in the

453
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:40,200
interior.
So finally focusing on that is I

454
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,800
think what paid part of the
dividends now.

455
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,900
There were still some, some
questionable things on the

456
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:49,100
offensive line this week.
You know, past Pro was not

457
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:52,500
great, Braixen didn't have a
whole lot of time.

458
00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:56,900
Tackles are still very
hit-or-miss in pass Pro.

459
00:30:56,900 --> 00:31:04,400
Luke 2 Nu du is Is looking
better but still is having some

460
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:09,500
of the same types of things that
we've seen you know, last season

461
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:14,200
where they would be the snap.
Sorry just whatever reason it

462
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,500
sole situation, right?
Yep.

463
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,700
So we're still dealing with that
and that that's obviously not

464
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:23,600
helping Braxton as much as it
could.

465
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,200
But this was a much better
overall game from the offensive

466
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,300
line than we've seen in the last
few weeks.

467
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:34,100
And some of that was actually
because the calls played into

468
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,500
their strengths.
Let me ask this Braun.

469
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:39,400
Did you when you were watching,
did you notice what were the

470
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:44,100
combos looking like yesterday?
Like what was it was?

471
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:48,900
It always Luke.
Let it gets Brock Caton stylist.

472
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:51,200
Or do we do we pick some things
up on the line.

473
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,300
It was, It was kind of mixed up
throughout the game.

474
00:31:54,300 --> 00:31:57,100
They did, they did some
different things and I've seen

475
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:03,100
but it was kind of A little bit
of there was more pulling

476
00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:07,600
interior than kind of the the
pull and wrap that we've seen

477
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,600
with some of the offense that
we've seen from the from the

478
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,400
previous week.
So I think that was a little bit

479
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,700
of a change and it kind of, I
think it helped them out a

480
00:32:17,708 --> 00:32:20,500
little bit with getting up
inside the tackles there.

481
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,300
Got you.
Also yesterday, Raheem

482
00:32:24,300 --> 00:32:28,100
Blackshear goes over 100,
all-purpose with the big screen

483
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:32,100
catch, and then average and 7.8
on the ground for 78 yards.

484
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:35,700
Still not using them the way we,
you really want to use some but

485
00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:40,000
at least getting involved in
things that he does better.

486
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,100
Yeah, I don't know what they're
challenging here.

487
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,900
Like we threw the red flag, but
y'all recovered ahead of the

488
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:50,500
first down.
So what's the point?

489
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:56,700
I don't know what he was.
I don't we don't have the volume

490
00:32:56,700 --> 00:33:00,500
on with that we be explaining
but you know but to see them

491
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:03,400
again using Rahim in the screen
game and some of the other

492
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,700
things they do with him
yesterday, you felt a little

493
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:09,300
better.
You still don't feel 100%

494
00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:12,900
because you feel like it's
Talent, you've said it numerous

495
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:16,600
times to me and other people
Rutgers is getting more out.

496
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,500
Got more out of this guy with a
terrible staff that got fired,

497
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:22,800
maybe that maybe the staff is
worse and that's why they can't

498
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,100
do it.
Yeah, I mean, that's the point

499
00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:27,900
that I like to make is that, you
know, you saw some of the things

500
00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:33,300
that we're hearing Blackshear
did in 2018, right?

501
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,100
PE only played four games in.
19.

502
00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:42,600
And in those games he did a lot
of you did a lot from the slot,

503
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,400
he had a if you extrapolated his
stats from those four games out,

504
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,500
over a full 12 game slot you
know he'd be just under 1,000

505
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:57,100
yards, receiving so when you
think about that and then you

506
00:33:57,100 --> 00:33:59,400
think about how we're using.
I'm not saying I want him in the

507
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,400
slot all the time but I do think
that we need to do more with him

508
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,800
in the passing game then just
what two Targets.

509
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,500
One. 30 yards?
Yeah, absolutely.

510
00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:16,199
They you don't Someone doesn't
quite understand how to use

511
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:20,500
them.
Now, something that was said and

512
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:23,900
you tell me how big of an
impact, this would have said in

513
00:34:23,900 --> 00:34:27,500
the interview went day and maybe
this is why the defense didn't

514
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:30,600
play good and the offense played
better, but went day.

515
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:34,300
Did not run the scout team
offense this week against the

516
00:34:34,308 --> 00:34:38,400
defense.
He ran, he was, he had a lot

517
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,699
more time in the meeting rooms
with the offense in general.

518
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,600
Could you see some of the plays
especially like, how they were

519
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,900
reusing the HVAC a little bit
more pudding, Gallo in, but just

520
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:54,100
watching some of the place
today, I feel like it was

521
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:57,400
something different and I don't
know how big of an impact.

522
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,300
The head coaching come in for
one week and make that big of a

523
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:05,600
difference.
Well, I think when you when it

524
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,400
comes to the game planning side
of things of how initially out

525
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,600
the gate, they're they're
planning on attacking the

526
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,300
defense.
I think that's where it makes

527
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:16,800
the most.
And I think when you talk about

528
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:22,000
practice, I think some of that
is the Intensity and attention

529
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,100
to detail that probably Fuente
brings to.

530
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:27,800
It that seems like Brad
cornelison does not really grasp

531
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:30,600
and that attention to detail
matters.

532
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,100
That attention to detail
matters.

533
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:40,000
I mean there were there were
times that I mean, I in college,

534
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,600
I had a head coach that ran the
offense.

535
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:47,700
So I never experienced this.
Well, I had my head coach was,

536
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,400
was blowing the whistle.
Do it again?

537
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,200
My head coach was calling us a
clown show, if we screwed it up

538
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,400
and we were running it until we
got it fucking right, and then

539
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,300
we'd run it another time to make
sure that we got it right.

540
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,700
And that reflected on Gameday,
we knew what the hell we were

541
00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:11,100
doing.
We executed and we put up a

542
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:13,700
bunch of fucking points show
did.

543
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:18,400
And at some point, I mean,
again, the deficiency is either

544
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,800
you didn't get, you haven't
recruited the right players and

545
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,600
develop them enough to run what
you're trying to do or you're

546
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,400
not scheming properly, to put
them in the right positions to

547
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:32,300
make those plays.
Again, execution is a one-off.

548
00:36:32,300 --> 00:36:35,100
Excuse execution is not a weekly
fucking thing.

549
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,200
All right, let me ask this
Prime.

550
00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:47,400
Do you if you are If you are, if
you're just in for Wednesday.

551
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,700
Do you continue to do what you
did this week?

552
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:53,300
Where you're defense played
less?

553
00:36:53,300 --> 00:36:54,900
Because you're not running the
scout team again.

554
00:36:54,900 --> 00:37:00,300
It's a pension detail, right?
Or do you say the defense has

555
00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:03,500
enough Playmakers?
If I put the often situations

556
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,500
and get them to score, we can
win a few games from here.

557
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:09,400
Out.
What do you want?

558
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,400
I'm going to ask the question.
Why does my head coach have to

559
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,600
be on a field for us to have
success?

560
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:19,200
Whether it's offense or defense?
Well that's why we created this

561
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,200
scenario.
Why we created a scenario where

562
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:27,000
you are reliant upon the head
coach for practice field to

563
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,300
function as it needs to
week-to-week.

564
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:35,400
Yeah, it went talked about it
last week with the staff.

565
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:41,500
And six years in, it should be
a, heck of a lot better guys

566
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:45,800
should be moving on to bigger
and better things and they're

567
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,300
not the guy's a Marlin, Max
citing Marlin.

568
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:51,900
Matt, couple years gave you that
fantasy pick up.

569
00:37:51,900 --> 00:37:56,700
People had to have.
All right, Ryan will continue to

570
00:37:56,700 --> 00:38:01,600
say this and watching some of
the Tennessee Alabama game.

571
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,900
When I got home last night and
seeing hinted hooker have a very

572
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:09,500
good game.
Alabama in Tuscaloosa against

573
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:11,600
the saving defense.
I've probably the most

574
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:16,800
competitive Tennessee had been
since Lanes game where Mount

575
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:21,900
Cody blocked, the final second
field goal to win it even though

576
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,100
the Reflection In the End
doesn't go that way because

577
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:26,100
Tennessee start pulling their
feet off.

578
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:33,400
But bb10 420, I mean, he didn't
break 200 yards, his big throws

579
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,400
great there today, on the
sidelines, that was his biggest

580
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,500
third day.
It wasn't a great throw, it was

581
00:38:38,500 --> 00:38:43,100
focused tables and his backside
it was it was a decent through

582
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,500
it.
Got it was the best throw that

583
00:38:46,500 --> 00:38:50,200
he could make without It getting
intercept.

584
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:54,500
Yep, what I mean let's just say
what he is.

585
00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:59,500
He's at best average how they
game planned up until this week

586
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:06,300
makes him below average.
Where I got to believe you.

587
00:39:06,300 --> 00:39:07,800
Got to believe passing lies
hidden.

588
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,500
Would be much better in this
offense.

589
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:16,300
Yeah, and we've seen it right.
We've seen him in.

590
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:21,500
Be better in this offense.
So I'm just I'm confused.

591
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,600
I'm not so much confused of You
know, why you made a play to

592
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,000
keep Braxton?
I'm more confused that you did.

593
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,100
Make a bigger play to keep
Hendon.

594
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,000
Yeah.
Like there wasn't a situation

595
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,200
where you were out there doing
everything you could to keep

596
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:40,900
that guy in the building.
Yep.

597
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:44,600
It's true.
Regardless, what happens, the

598
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,600
stories that have come out like
that guy had talent and it's

599
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,700
showing you just don't go down
at us.

600
00:39:51,700 --> 00:39:54,200
Clues against the saving defense
regardless, if it's great or

601
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,500
not, great in do what he did,
especially in the first half and

602
00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:00,500
then keeping them in that game
in the second half.

603
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:06,000
So, Again, it goes back to our
last week if you guys have not

604
00:40:06,100 --> 00:40:09,600
listened to last week's episode.

So, here showing off of the

625
00:41:14,207 --> 00:41:15,600
world.
Exactly.

626
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:16,900
But let's start.
Brian.

627
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:21,500
I want to start with J Hamm and
I'm going to jump on this one

628
00:41:21,500 --> 00:41:24,100
first.
Because, okay, yesterday's game.

629
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:30,100
I was bordering on b-plus.
First year, first year of having

630
00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:35,300
it, the defensive played well,
definitely depth is a concern

631
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:38,900
but overall the defense was
playing well I'm not going to go

632
00:41:38,900 --> 00:41:41,800
full letter grade back but now
it's on the be - so he's

633
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:48,100
probably sitting on the 8281
versus the 88 to 89 for me.

634
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,200
After that game especially here
in after the head coach was not

635
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,100
run on the scout team, which,
which was probably given him

636
00:41:55,100 --> 00:41:58,000
some help to be a young
coordinator.

637
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,400
Yeah, I won't be - and but
before yesterday it was B+, what

638
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,700
about you?
Yeah, I'm going to give him a.

639
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,900
I'm gonna go see.
Plus I will like they dropped a

640
00:42:10,908 --> 00:42:16,000
full letter.
I'd say overall we've done a

641
00:42:16,008 --> 00:42:20,200
really good job this year
especially up until recently

642
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,700
kind of slowing down the pass
game for them for the other

643
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:27,800
team.
But I'm a little suspect on the

644
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,500
The Rush defense and we're going
to see more heavy rushing

645
00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:34,200
attacks with better offensive
lines as we kind of close out

646
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,800
the year here.
Not that they're necessarily

647
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,900
High Caliber in terms of the
Elite Talent like a Notre Dame

648
00:42:40,900 --> 00:42:45,600
has at the running back position
but I Take the whole workings of

649
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,700
the team on offense might give
us some problems, so that's

650
00:42:49,700 --> 00:42:51,300
going to be something to watch
out for.

651
00:42:52,100 --> 00:42:56,000
And if we have another game, you
know, a few more games like we

652
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,900
had on Saturday, you know, that
gray could go down a little bit

653
00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:05,900
more but Saturday kind of made
me a little wary, just because

654
00:43:05,900 --> 00:43:10,500
I'd seen a little bit of that
before this game, especially

655
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:13,900
against pit when I was like they
shouldn't be getting the edge

656
00:43:13,900 --> 00:43:15,800
like that.
Shouldn't be getting the edge.

657
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,700
Yeah.
And then we saw some more stuff

658
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:20,300
like that.
This week, it's kind of trending

659
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,500
in a direction.
I'm not comfortable with long

660
00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:28,100
term and I'm hoping that we can,
we can do some, do some things

661
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:30,600
here to kind of change that up
and get that going back in the

662
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,000
right direction.
All right, let's move to the

663
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,300
other side of the balls
coordinator and let's go to Brad

664
00:43:36,300 --> 00:43:38,000
cornelison.
Brian.

665
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,800
What grade are you giving him
seven games into the season?

666
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,300
This game, he moves up to a
flat.

667
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:51,100
I told e - he all he got out of
the F into a d-minus for this

668
00:43:51,100 --> 00:43:55,600
week's effort, only but d-minus
to me is still you need to get

669
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,200
the fuck out of here.
Yeah.

670
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,800
Right because I mean,
absolutely, you're going to be

671
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,500
on academic probation and then
you're going to be out of school

672
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:05,400
if you just drop and he's all
over the place, right?

673
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,000
So, that's where we're at.
D-minus for corn.

674
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,700
And it really just goes back to
the inconsistency in situational

675
00:44:17,700 --> 00:44:23,700
football and the inability to
adequately.

676
00:44:23,700 --> 00:44:30,300
Get the players ready to execute
week in week out and see Braun.

677
00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:33,600
I was at a d-minus before I
wasn't going to fit.

678
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,200
Well, I'm going to fail it yet.
Well I'm going to fail it yet.

679
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:44,200
It was trending that way, but I
was going to move into D + until

680
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,900
we heard the interview that
basically Fuente was in the

681
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:52,200
offensive room all week.
And I I'm going to stick it a

682
00:44:52,207 --> 00:44:54,900
d-minus.
I beg them near.

683
00:44:54,900 --> 00:44:58,800
Gave it an F because literally
you had to pull the head coach

684
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,000
in there to put this sort of
game plan to again, you said it

685
00:45:03,008 --> 00:45:07,400
attention to details and things
like that.

686
00:45:08,900 --> 00:45:13,300
All I can say is this if we
continue to play like we did

687
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:17,800
authentically, put up points,
good drives more good than bad

688
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:22,500
drives, less three and outs.
I'm just going to go ahead and

689
00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:25,200
rack it up that 20 is in the
room the whole time.

690
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:33,600
And he is basically putting
everything together and more

691
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,900
than likely, it's more him than
it is brass.

692
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:39,200
Just Brad calling the plays,
okay?

693
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:45,600
All right, d - that is, you
know, be miles across the board.

694
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,900
All right, Brian?
I'm gonna go Jack, Tyler next in

695
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,900
the linebacker play, has been
just okay.

696
00:45:52,900 --> 00:45:55,200
This year.
Not great.

697
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,600
Not Dreadful horrible.
Last year when Tracy claeys was

698
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:04,800
on an island trying to coach.
I'm back to play any kind.

699
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,800
Yeah.
But I'm gonna give him just a

700
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:13,800
just to see first year, a lot of
different things he's having to

701
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,900
go through even more.
So the outside noise even more.

702
00:46:17,900 --> 00:46:20,800
So with the second year really
true first year coordinator.

703
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,000
So, you know, like you said,
it's up and down.

704
00:46:26,300 --> 00:46:28,200
There's been times of
linebackers have played really

705
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,100
good, there's been times,
there's been yuck moments.

706
00:46:31,300 --> 00:46:34,600
So all it all balances out to me
to see.

707
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,100
Yeah, I'm kind of I'm right
there with you.

708
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,200
I'm with the C-4 Jack as well
and he's done some good things

709
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,400
on the recruiting Trail early
return so far too.

710
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,300
Right, so I think the
combination of that I think the

711
00:46:47,300 --> 00:46:50,900
combination of seeing some
improvement especially some

712
00:46:50,900 --> 00:46:54,400
improvement.
I know Tracy, claeys had never

713
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,900
coached linebackers before but
he was also a extremely veteran

714
00:46:57,900 --> 00:47:00,900
defensive coach.
So I think, you know, he

715
00:47:00,900 --> 00:47:03,400
understood understood
conceptually what that would

716
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:12,500
take but Jack is And it seems an
upgrade so far and I'm hoping

717
00:47:12,500 --> 00:47:14,500
that we continue to Trend in
that direction.

718
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,600
That's my hope.
So, it's a good Trend but it's

719
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,500
still not where it needs to be
yet.

720
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:23,800
Now we're upload.
Just put it on the ground at

721
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,700
Midfield.
You guys got the ball up a

722
00:47:25,700 --> 00:47:31,700
point.
So yeah, y'all get y'all get a

723
00:47:31,700 --> 00:47:34,300
touchdown here.
This is pretty much game over.

724
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,800
Let's go to.
I like them Berg next run

725
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,700
because this isn't okay, because
you feel like yesterday might

726
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:46,500
have turned a little bit.
But what are you given?

727
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:48,300
Atom, like, Timber go up to this
point.

728
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:56,300
I'm going to give him a C+ and a
lot of that is tied to off the

729
00:47:56,300 --> 00:48:00,300
field stuff.
I think, I don't know how much

730
00:48:00,300 --> 00:48:02,900
credit to give him for Khalil
Herbert other than getting him

731
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:08,900
in the building.
But that's not because I mean,

732
00:48:08,900 --> 00:48:11,500
we saw what he did last year, we
see that he's tearing it up in

733
00:48:11,500 --> 00:48:13,800
the NFL already.
Now these got an opportunity the

734
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,000
last two weeks.
And really two and a half weeks

735
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,000
going back to the previous game
where he came in and it just

736
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:28,700
seems like I'm not really sure
how much his coaching is

737
00:48:28,700 --> 00:48:34,000
impacting the on-field product.
But I know that he's getting

738
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,300
some of the right players in the
building to be successful.

739
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,800
And I'm not sure who was holding
back Malachi, Thomas you from

740
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,500
getting on the field more
stamps, whether it was him or

741
00:48:46,500 --> 00:48:49,900
whether it was Brad cornelison,
or whether it was Justin Fuente,

742
00:48:50,100 --> 00:48:51,800
okay?
So I'm not sure whether to ding

743
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,900
him for not getting Thomas More
carries earlier in the year or

744
00:48:55,900 --> 00:48:58,700
not.
So right now, I'll stick with

745
00:48:58,700 --> 00:49:01,800
c-plus You're going to stick
with C plus on it.

746
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,400
Okay, I'm going to give him a
beat - again.

747
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:10,200
A lot of its the off-field
stuff. you know I think without

748
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,900
a doubt that is probably one of
the bigger things, he is a good

749
00:49:14,900 --> 00:49:19,200
recruiter, he does have a good
eye for talent, you know, he was

750
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,500
a secondary on Malachi last year
he brought in Herbert, he saw

751
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:31,600
that tape so We're idiots in the
back end now.

752
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:38,900
Okay.
Um, but also with Herbert, it

753
00:49:38,900 --> 00:49:42,400
was a year of consistency.
We had seen Herbert's tape when

754
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:47,700
you he could blow up, what it is
like Timber got the consistency

755
00:49:47,700 --> 00:49:50,200
out of and that's why we're
seeing it up there, whatever he

756
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,800
said to him.
The piece that I'm interested in

757
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,200
is just what you are.
If Malachi Thomas, who we heard,

758
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,800
he had done some good things,
but he was missing this That.

759
00:50:01,300 --> 00:50:03,200
If you have a guy like that and
he's missing.

760
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,700
Well, he's missing some past
Pros, you should be banging on

761
00:50:05,700 --> 00:50:09,200
the table saying when we should
be running the damn ball.

762
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,000
A lot more than we should be in
past Pro even though it might

763
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,600
give away when he's not in there
that we're going to potentially

764
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,800
have more of a pass.
The kid comes out once against a

765
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:25,700
good defense like that.
To the tune of 150 yards on 24

766
00:50:25,700 --> 00:50:28,900
carries averaging.
Almost six of carry.

767
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,400
You should be stepping up,
slamming your fist on the table

768
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,200
and saying, see I told you that
thing, if we had those running

769
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:41,300
backs in the West Virginia or
the Notre Dame game so I give

770
00:50:41,300 --> 00:50:45,600
them a b-minus, still wish they
would use him, right?

771
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,500
But I'm a little soft on Adam
That I Used to Be.

772
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,100
Okay, fair enough.
All right.

773
00:50:52,100 --> 00:50:55,600
So where we going next, man?
Let's go next to.

774
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,900
This is going to be a good one
because it is all over the place

775
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,500
Vance.
Vice.

776
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,000
If we're if we're just talking
this year, give me a see.

777
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:11,200
Okay, well the I'd say this year
and recruiting this year, you

778
00:51:11,207 --> 00:51:14,200
still sticking with the sea.
Still sticking with the sea.

779
00:51:14,700 --> 00:51:21,200
Okay.
Why, why why not?

780
00:51:21,300 --> 00:51:23,900
You know, why not lower with
this year?

781
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:29,900
Because clearly in the
offseason, he made some serious

782
00:51:29,900 --> 00:51:33,200
mistakes that hurt our depth.
Why not lower?

783
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:44,300
The recruiting has still been
there and I think he was dealt a

784
00:51:44,300 --> 00:51:49,600
bad hand that he had a hand in
somewhat creating because this

785
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:56,000
season was going to be a little
bit of a work in progress before

786
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,700
two guys.
Got ran off into other ACC teams

787
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:11,000
will not ACC teams but Power
five teams and I think we look

788
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,600
like we made some ground up
there.

789
00:52:12,700 --> 00:52:16,500
When we were using our current
running backs the way they

790
00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:19,000
should and playing to the
strengths of this offensive

791
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,500
line.
So you can't put as much on

792
00:52:21,500 --> 00:52:24,000
that.
But I think that he's done a

793
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:28,300
poor job with the rotations.
He's that that's that's that's

794
00:52:28,300 --> 00:52:31,100
that's the one thing that I'm
still frustrated with is that he

795
00:52:31,100 --> 00:52:36,800
has not figured out who is best
5r and you ran off to good

796
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:41,600
players and we have been
inconsistent at best both in the

797
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,300
Run game, which I I'd expect and
in the past game, which I 100%

798
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:50,500
did expect, All right, I'm going
to be a little harsher on him

799
00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:55,900
and I'm going to go with the D+
because running off to guys, who

800
00:52:55,900 --> 00:53:01,600
would have been key to depth
would have significantly.

801
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,000
Help this offensive line I think
Doug Nestor would have started

802
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,400
it right tackle I think Silas
tansy would have started it

803
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,400
Right Guard.
I think Brian Hudson would have

804
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:13,900
been your swing guy inside.
Right, that that's that's that's

805
00:53:13,900 --> 00:53:16,100
accurate.
That's one big strike that, that

806
00:53:16,100 --> 00:53:19,600
to me, where it takes him from
like, potentially a C+.

807
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:25,000
Or now you're down to a seat.
The next one is, I still don't

808
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:29,200
think he's putting the best five
out there because my reality if

809
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,600
you want to make the best file,
especially running the ball.

810
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,000
Johnny Jordan should be playing
probably Center in Brock Hoffman

811
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:40,700
should be at Right Guard.
But again, Back to the other

812
00:53:40,700 --> 00:53:43,800
point.
Why he, ran guys off is probably

813
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:48,300
the same reason with this, and
the whole goal should be get

814
00:53:48,300 --> 00:53:51,100
your best five out there.
We know, Brock and plague.

815
00:53:51,100 --> 00:53:55,500
Our, we know we've done, Johnny
complete, Margo your mixing, and

816
00:53:55,500 --> 00:53:58,000
your mixing and that's fine.
I get you might need to give

817
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:03,800
guys a breathers but give it a
chance like this.

818
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:11,900
Give that a chance and give that
a chance in Fall Camp versus

819
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,200
early.
Do I think Kaden more is a nasty

820
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:15,700
guy guard.
Yes he is.

821
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,400
Yes he is but he has some
deficiencies because he is a

822
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:26,500
freshman dip and you know it's
one of those things to it's like

823
00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:28,300
dude you playing for your job
this year.

824
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:31,800
Well, what if he gets mad and I
lose the line?

825
00:54:32,300 --> 00:54:34,500
What if you lose the line,
you're probably going to be

826
00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:35,900
gone.
Going anyway, if you don't put

827
00:54:35,900 --> 00:54:39,700
your best five out there.
Yeah, and I've played in a

828
00:54:39,707 --> 00:54:46,400
situation where, you know, I've
been one of the Swing guys in a

829
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:52,000
six-man rotation.
I know that sometimes you ride

830
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,500
the hot hand and then sometimes
it's a tree rotation and then

831
00:54:55,500 --> 00:54:57,700
sometimes it's a play to your
strengths.

832
00:54:57,700 --> 00:55:01,900
So I get that aspect of it, but
I'd like to see them play to the

833
00:55:01,900 --> 00:55:04,700
strengths of what's happening in
the flow of the game.

834
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,800
Mmmmm.
Then just getting guys out there

835
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,200
to get guys out there.
Yeah, that's very true.

836
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,000
All right, bro, we're going to
pair these next two guys

837
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,500
together because they
essentially run the same line

838
00:55:18,500 --> 00:55:22,500
and that's JC price and beer,
bill, till Nick and I'm going to

839
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:28,500
give JC and Bill a solid be.
Like you said, earlier, The Edge

840
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:31,100
stuff with the rush defense, has
not been the greatest.

841
00:55:31,100 --> 00:55:35,000
They are also working with the
very limit They're also working

842
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,700
with limitations on the outside
because of depth but overall the

843
00:55:38,707 --> 00:55:43,800
defensive line has played well
this year, not unbelievable but

844
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,000
it's not been the true detriment
to the defense.

845
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:51,000
Even though yesterday they had
their issues and on the last

846
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,200
couple drives of several games,
they've had their issues.

847
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,400
But overall, this is also the
second year of it.

848
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,400
Yep, guys.
They'd recruited to the system.

849
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,800
Three on the defensive end.
Left.

850
00:56:05,500 --> 00:56:14,500
So, you know, if you asked me
today, I would want at least JC

851
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:18,700
price to be on the next staff as
one, you know, it usually

852
00:56:18,700 --> 00:56:20,600
happens.
Usually don't see a complete

853
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,400
gutting and everybody leaves.
Usually one or two guys has

854
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,700
remains on staff.
I think if what's going to

855
00:56:26,700 --> 00:56:29,900
happen what we assume is going
to happen, I'd like to see JC

856
00:56:29,900 --> 00:56:33,300
price stick around Yeah, I'd
like to see JC price stick

857
00:56:33,300 --> 00:56:36,400
around and, and bills harder
because Bill cost more and Bill

858
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,300
doesn't give you as much on the
recruiting Trail.

859
00:56:39,100 --> 00:56:43,600
True.
So JC is the easier.

860
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,900
Keep their, I'm going to give
them a C+.

861
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,100
Probably I could go be - I'm
really kind of going between the

862
00:56:51,100 --> 00:56:53,500
two.
I think given the limitations of

863
00:56:53,500 --> 00:56:56,800
their depth that is really
nothing to do with them.

864
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,900
I think they've done a really
good job overall, they're still

865
00:57:03,900 --> 00:57:08,400
dealing with a their most elite
player is a guy that switch

866
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:13,700
positions and is, you know, more
of a freak athlete than a true

867
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,400
defensive Edge Presence at this
point, but they're still getting

868
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,700
a good amount out of him.
He had a, he was a, he had an

869
00:57:19,700 --> 00:57:21,900
active game.
The play that impressed me.

870
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:26,400
Most is one of the one Schrader
took off and he's walking him

871
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:31,200
down from the back side.
Yeah and yards downfield that's

872
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:36,400
impressive and he doesn't give
up on plays.

873
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,500
He's always going that's a big
thing for me and Garbutt has

874
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:46,400
really turned into a really
solid overall player at the

875
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,800
defensive end position.
And if we can clean up, just

876
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:53,800
some of those technical things
that we're seeing those two guys

877
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:58,000
could really be, you know, some
of the the top two out there in

878
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,500
the ACC.
So I think they're turning a

879
00:58:01,500 --> 00:58:04,800
corner a little bit but they're
not quite there overall.

880
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,600
Just the depth is killing them
and that's hurting them.

881
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,400
So I'm trying not to give them
give that too much of a not for

882
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,700
him.
So I'll still go see plus like I

883
00:58:13,707 --> 00:58:16,400
said, I could go be - but
they're kind of right there.

884
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,600
Got it.
All right, here's the next one

885
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:20,500
for you.
Brian.

886
00:58:20,700 --> 00:58:24,200
And this is going to be the
really interesting one Jafar.

887
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,700
I don't want to fail him but I
might have to fail him.

888
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:40,500
I might have to fail him.
We just we haven't seen enough

889
00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:43,500
of the guys, he's bringing in.
Take some steps.

890
00:58:45,100 --> 00:58:50,000
Most of the guys that are doing
well, we're either already

891
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,800
recruited before he was hired or
we're already playing before he

892
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:58,400
was hired very true.
You know, we still have Tay and

893
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,800
tray that are out there doing
their thing.

894
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:07,600
I haven't seen Significant jumps
in game from, from Trey, from

895
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,800
2018 to.
Now he's been just steady Eddie

896
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,000
consistent.
He was good at the gate and he's

897
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,100
continued to be pretty good the
whole way through.

898
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:22,300
So, and the only thing I can say
is that Jafar has that wide

899
00:59:22,300 --> 00:59:24,400
receiver core blocking, like a
motherfucker.

900
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,500
They are some good ass blocking
wide receivers they are.

901
00:59:32,500 --> 00:59:34,600
They are they are.
He definitely could be a

902
00:59:34,607 --> 00:59:38,000
consultant for the rest of his
life making.

903
00:59:38,700 --> 00:59:40,500
I don't know, hundred thousand
dollars a year.

904
00:59:40,500 --> 00:59:45,000
Just going around to Tween
spring practice and fall camps.

905
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,500
Just teaching wide receivers to
block.

906
00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:51,800
I'm I'm giving him enough.
Plus I'll give them a plus block

907
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,700
the bonus but it's just, it's
nothing.

908
00:59:54,800 --> 01:00:00,000
There you're not seeing like
we're not seeing you made the

909
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,200
point would pray and say they do
their thing and they're about

910
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,400
where they were when they got
here, right?

911
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,700
Yeah, that way when they got
here, wide receiver was We've

912
01:00:11,700 --> 01:00:17,600
not seen Lofton, pay you Jones
the other any other guy you want

913
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,700
to mention briefly, come on and
start making it big.

914
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,700
And this is the year three.
This is the year, you usually

915
01:00:24,700 --> 01:00:26,800
see.
So if you tell me at the end of

916
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,400
the season, hey Robinson was
1,000-yard receiver.

917
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,900
Trey Turner, had 1,000
all-purpose yards between 650,

918
01:00:34,900 --> 01:00:38,600
700 yards through the air, and
using him on jet sweeps and

919
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,100
things like that, okay?
Great, you're doing your job.

920
01:00:41,300 --> 01:00:45,800
It's the same old.
And you know what?

921
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:50,800
We went from Harlem and Wiggins
to him, is kind of crazy, right?

922
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,900
Because Wiggins had Ford in them
who had good Seasons.

923
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:00,200
They were known Commodities when
you that were very solid and

924
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,500
they came in all three of those
guys in 16 exploded.

925
01:01:04,500 --> 01:01:07,800
Cam comes back.
The next year, builds upon again

926
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:11,100
in an 18 with a bunch of young
guys, guys, Flash.

927
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:16,100
Ash you know.
Yeah, gate an 18 so ever since

928
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:19,400
he got here it's just been
doesn't feel like he's done

929
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:25,600
anything and you know That's
just the feel I got to give the

930
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,600
f+ so.
Alright.

931
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,000
Next guys this is one I think
we're definitely going to differ

932
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,600
on James shall best the tight
ends and special teams coach

933
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,200
that man gets an A minus in my
book.

934
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:42,000
Okay, tell me why well, okay,
first of all.

935
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,300
What, let's, let's start going
after John Parker Roman fixed,

936
01:01:46,300 --> 01:01:51,000
his short kick issues.
Rome has been banging them.

937
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,100
He'd bang to 48-yarder
yesterday.

938
01:01:53,100 --> 01:01:56,900
I saw that kid could have been
good from 58, maybe 60, all

939
01:01:56,900 --> 01:02:03,200
right, kick return, game,
Malachi and Keyshawn, getting

940
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,400
good averages.
If you kick it short to us, you

941
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:10,700
can pay somewhere between the
neighborhood of 28 to 35 yards.

942
01:02:10,700 --> 01:02:15,500
Every time if not more Right.
Yep, punt return.

943
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,500
I think Taylor Robinson is
getting up there to being the

944
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:24,000
absolute best in the country.
A 40-yarder yesterday and a big

945
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:28,400
run back helped us out.
Peter Moores are freshman.

946
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:30,900
Kicker five-star.
Oh wait I'll store kicker.

947
01:02:32,900 --> 01:02:36,900
Plenty his ass off.
And I know it's one of those

948
01:02:36,900 --> 01:02:39,500
things where you dwell you know,
we don't want to be punting a

949
01:02:39,500 --> 01:02:42,600
lot.
Everybody needs a good partner.

950
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,500
Everybody needs a good if you
don't have a good punter, look

951
01:02:45,500 --> 01:02:47,500
at Syracuse.
How many times they set us up

952
01:02:47,500 --> 01:02:51,800
inside with bad kicks?
The other we're taking advantage

953
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,000
of them.
It would have been blowing the

954
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,400
doors off of them versus losing
the game.

955
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,600
And then just think about how
gallo and Drake played

956
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,500
yesterday.
When they truly let Gallo get

957
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,900
into the HVAC position.
Running game was better.

958
01:03:06,900 --> 01:03:10,700
Drink, caught a touchdown pass.
Need to see more of that.

959
01:03:11,900 --> 01:03:14,800
If those guys were truly
producing at a great clip, I'd

960
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:19,600
probably get in the neck but
right now sign of stymied but we

961
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,700
are especially Gallo plan that
HVAC position.

962
01:03:22,700 --> 01:03:24,800
Definitely seeing the moves
there.

963
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,500
Now, how much lower you going to
me?

964
01:03:27,500 --> 01:03:28,900
Because I know you're not going
higher.

965
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,100
I'm gonna go be.
It could be higher if we'd seen

966
01:03:34,100 --> 01:03:39,100
more from the HVAC since James
Mitchell has went down.

967
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:47,200
I think overall that he does a
probably one of the better

968
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:53,200
special teams coaches in the
ACC, definitely has kept the

969
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:58,400
tradition going with, with
Beamer ball, with special teams,

970
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:04,000
being a focus outside of last
year in punt, return situations.

971
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,500
I really don't have a ton of
negative things to say about the

972
01:04:07,500 --> 01:04:09,000
special team since he's been
here.

973
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:13,400
And looking at this year, same,
same story other than the short

974
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:17,800
kicking it Use that drop, John
Parker Romo, had in the first

975
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,900
three games.
I don't really have a big

976
01:04:19,900 --> 01:04:25,900
problem with with the Special
Teams this year, I'd like to see

977
01:04:25,900 --> 01:04:28,300
more out of guys, not named
James Mitchell.

978
01:04:28,300 --> 01:04:34,300
Since he went down in the HVAC
roll, it seems like some of that

979
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:37,800
has been game Flow.
Some of that has been calls, so

980
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,500
it's not all on him.
But those guys haven't went out

981
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:45,900
there and flashed as much as I
was expecting them to flash

982
01:04:45,900 --> 01:04:48,400
since James Mitchell's went down
so that's what kind of brings it

983
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,400
down.
For me a little bit, got it.

984
01:04:50,500 --> 01:04:53,000
Alright.
Alright then, let's hit this guy

985
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,600
up.
Ryan Smith where you put in Ron

986
01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:03,700
Smith that Ryan Smith gets a B+
I'm solid b-plus.

987
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,000
He's done some good things with
the young guys that have come

988
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,100
in.
Killing it on the recruiting

989
01:05:09,100 --> 01:05:13,000
Trail.
When he's got his best guy out

990
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,400
there, you can tell.
Yes.

991
01:05:16,900 --> 01:05:21,300
So and but he's brought the
other guys along the younger.

992
01:05:21,300 --> 01:05:24,900
Guys along both last year and
into this year a little bit

993
01:05:24,900 --> 01:05:30,600
faster than we anticipated, much
fat and short of a few snafus

994
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,400
here and They've held up against
some pretty solid competition

995
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:37,800
this year.
I think, you know, you could

996
01:05:37,900 --> 01:05:40,600
there is room for improvement
there, that's why it's not an a

997
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:45,000
it so it's not a - but overall I
like what Ryan Smith is

998
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,800
bringing, I think he's probably
other than JC price.

999
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:51,400
The only other coach that I
think probably gets retained by

1000
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:54,100
whoever the next staff is
absolutely.

1001
01:05:54,900 --> 01:05:57,000
Absolutely.
And I think Ryan Smith is

1002
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,200
probably the biggest no-brainer
on that just because of his age

1003
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,800
and the position and unless
whoever is coming in as a

1004
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,300
defensive guy that wants to
coach corners and exactly.

1005
01:06:06,300 --> 01:06:11,500
And there's not many of those
guys that move on to DC /.

1006
01:06:11,500 --> 01:06:16,100
Hate head, coach positions.
I'm with you on a B+ also.

1007
01:06:16,100 --> 01:06:22,800
Funny fact, me and Brian went to
college with Ryan sister.

1008
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:26,700
We did not know this.
Until a few weeks ago, I'm

1009
01:06:26,700 --> 01:06:28,200
friends with her own social
media.

1010
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:31,900
I think Brian you are too and
yep, it's all Pop up and I

1011
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:33,900
messaged him like, is that Ron
Smith?

1012
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:35,300
Oh yeah.
He's my brother's.

1013
01:06:35,300 --> 01:06:37,500
Like, how did we not know this
season?

1014
01:06:37,500 --> 01:06:39,800
She was like, oh, he's just, he
was significantly younger.

1015
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:41,700
When we were all in college,
I'll make sense.

1016
01:06:42,300 --> 01:06:45,300
This girl, friends with salad.
Basically, every day in college

1017
01:06:45,300 --> 01:06:48,900
is really funny, but it's a lot
of the point you made is to

1018
01:06:48,900 --> 01:06:51,700
recruiting.
It's the younger guys Walter

1019
01:06:51,700 --> 01:06:55,400
before he got banged, was kept
playing better and better each

1020
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,500
week Jermaine Waller.
We saw in 2019 who was out in

1021
01:06:58,508 --> 01:07:02,700
2020 returned in 2021.
And look even better.

1022
01:07:03,500 --> 01:07:06,100
And the difference between 2019
and 2020.

1023
01:07:06,100 --> 01:07:10,900
One is Ryan Smith, he is a good
recruiter, he is a young guy, he

1024
01:07:10,900 --> 01:07:14,900
is a rising star.
He should be retained in some

1025
01:07:14,900 --> 01:07:18,000
capacity with the next head
coach.

1026
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,600
Well, JC and Ryan.
If you're taking both of them,

1027
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,800
you can kind of hit the ground
running with the recruiting

1028
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,700
footprint that they've started
to build.

1029
01:07:26,700 --> 01:07:28,300
Yes.
Since they've come on staff.

1030
01:07:28,300 --> 01:07:32,300
So that, at least helps you
potentially Retain the class

1031
01:07:32,300 --> 01:07:37,300
that you have and get you your
boots on the ground as soon as

1032
01:07:37,300 --> 01:07:41,300
the new stabbed gets in place.
Exactly, exactly.

1033
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,700
Alright Braun.
Well we've done everyone.

1034
01:07:43,900 --> 01:07:45,800
So let's go to the head ball
coach.

1035
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,900
Where are you with Justin
Fuente?

1036
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:58,000
I mean it's got to be a d -
right for me it's a d-minus in

1037
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:02,100
the big thing goes is that he's
not making changes to make the

1038
01:08:02,100 --> 01:08:04,500
team better know that that's my
big thing.

1039
01:08:05,900 --> 01:08:09,700
When we look at the struggles,
we've had with Brad for Nelson.

1040
01:08:09,700 --> 01:08:15,400
When we look at a lot of the
game Flow things.

1041
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:21,399
If we look at just an inability
to make changes during the game

1042
01:08:21,399 --> 01:08:26,100
when he sees things aren't going
the way they need to, when we

1043
01:08:26,100 --> 01:08:29,899
look at how he is as a
recruiter.

1044
01:08:30,300 --> 01:08:34,000
Yeah he is not a recruiter he
does.

1045
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,800
Well when he gets Recruiters on
his staff, very true but he is

1046
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,300
not a guy that's going to he's
not Mack Brown he's not going to

1047
01:08:41,308 --> 01:08:45,100
go in the living room and and
get you a kid.

1048
01:08:45,100 --> 01:08:48,500
He's not Frank Beamer.
He's not going to go and 757 and

1049
01:08:48,500 --> 01:08:51,899
get you a kid.
Nope he's not that type of

1050
01:08:51,899 --> 01:08:55,399
coach.
It's got to be pretty much a

1051
01:08:55,399 --> 01:08:58,800
close done deal when it get when
the player comes into his office

1052
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:02,600
to get that final.
Yay, or nay exactly.

1053
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:07,100
And you know and even then
sometimes it's not a it's not a

1054
01:09:07,100 --> 01:09:10,500
closed up shop there.
So, exactly.

1055
01:09:11,100 --> 01:09:15,500
I'm going to go D, not the D- it
least this week, he noted

1056
01:09:15,500 --> 01:09:19,100
finally took five games in
noticed issues and decided to

1057
01:09:19,100 --> 01:09:23,899
move himself from one part of
the game planning and to another

1058
01:09:23,899 --> 01:09:27,500
part of the game planning.
And we did pay dividends on that

1059
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:35,000
D should have been gone after
yesterday.

1060
01:09:35,100 --> 01:09:39,399
Yeah, I do believe that because
you are a reflection of what

1061
01:09:39,399 --> 01:09:45,300
your team does and numerous time
this year in situations, he has

1062
01:09:45,300 --> 01:09:49,100
essentially failed his team and
I know everybody can say well

1063
01:09:49,100 --> 01:09:52,600
there's offense and there's all
this key is the reflection of

1064
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:57,400
the team.
How they how they perform these.

1065
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:01,800
You because it is a trickle
down, you tell the offensive

1066
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:03,000
coordinators.
What you want you to other

1067
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:04,700
defensive coordinators with they
won't?

1068
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,300
They go down to their guys.
If you're giving the wrong,

1069
01:10:07,300 --> 01:10:09,800
message the wrong signals, the
drawing Vibes.

1070
01:10:10,700 --> 01:10:13,700
That's why there have been so
many failures this year.

1071
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,000
You can see what his body
language a few weeks ago in a

1072
01:10:16,008 --> 01:10:19,500
Monday Presser You can see it
yesterday.

1073
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,700
He did not walk out on the
interview yesterday for he did

1074
01:10:22,700 --> 01:10:25,200
not like that.
Last question that was asked, I

1075
01:10:25,208 --> 01:10:29,300
think by David Cunningham with
textile on, he answered it and

1076
01:10:29,300 --> 01:10:31,300
he walked away slipped, he
looking pissed.

1077
01:10:32,500 --> 01:10:35,700
But if that's how you carry
yourself and your team sees it

1078
01:10:35,700 --> 01:10:38,700
or hears about it, they're going
to be similar to it.

1079
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:43,600
So yeah.
Yeah, and I think that's the big

1080
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:49,100
thing is that he, he's almost to
even Keel, right?

1081
01:10:49,100 --> 01:10:54,900
He's to even Keel.
And I think, when you, when you

1082
01:10:54,900 --> 01:10:59,600
get to the bad body language,
the bad body language is the

1083
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,800
start of the week and it carries
on into the post game, right?

1084
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,200
Yeah, can't have that.
I'm sorry, I'm celebrating over

1085
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,400
here.
It's okay, it's so cool.

1086
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,700
You didn't get the to.
So we're still up dudes, we

1087
01:11:12,700 --> 01:11:15,300
still score, but it was also a
fantasy score to.

1088
01:11:15,900 --> 01:11:20,100
So now, I've put my projection,
let me, let me just say I am now

1089
01:11:20,100 --> 01:11:23,000
up, almost 50 points on the guy
I'm playing.

1090
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:27,200
Yeah, but every every time young
score, your defense points, go

1091
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,000
down down down because you
started the Colts defense.

1092
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:35,500
Here's the thing.
I went from 19.3 On defense. 218

1093
01:11:35,500 --> 01:11:42,200
Debo went from 10 to 18 fair
enough so your netting out

1094
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:43,900
pretty good.
There you got out there.

1095
01:11:43,900 --> 01:11:47,000
Yeah as long as he's the guy
burning, I'm good.

1096
01:11:47,500 --> 01:11:51,100
So anyway there's our staff
evaluations as long with minors,

1097
01:11:51,100 --> 01:11:56,600
Colts, talk fantasy talks, what
we do here that you kind of go

1098
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,000
through it.
There's only a couple guys above

1099
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:05,800
average, a lot of guys below
average numerous D's and F's and

1100
01:12:05,900 --> 01:12:07,700
you see the way things are
trending.

1101
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,300
And as this season goes along,
we're going to have more

1102
01:12:10,300 --> 01:12:13,000
segments like this on Sunday
nights where we've got some

1103
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:18,400
other ideas in our heads.
Yeah, these two crazy heads so

1104
01:12:19,700 --> 01:12:22,000
definitely check this in now
Brian, let's look at the

1105
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,700
pickles, also, Brian.
Let me say this.

1106
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,000
You actually, you do not get the
number, right?

1107
01:12:29,100 --> 01:12:32,500
But you almost nailed the spread
right on the game with the

1108
01:12:32,500 --> 01:12:38,100
Syracuse by For, you know,
essentially Syracuse, you know,

1109
01:12:38,100 --> 01:12:42,800
does eventually win the game yet
4136 so slightly off there?

1110
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,600
So, you had a good read on that,
just not that many points now.

1111
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:51,900
On Saturday, pick them's You
gained some Down, The Back in

1112
01:12:51,900 --> 01:12:55,300
the Saddle.
Again, the big guys, Back in the

1113
01:12:55,300 --> 01:12:57,100
Saddle.
Again, the big guys, back over

1114
01:12:57,100 --> 01:13:01,900
500 again, Brian's back to 42
and 40.

1115
01:13:01,900 --> 01:13:06,800
After a seven and three week.
Brian nailed, the army, weight

1116
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:11,900
game, the FSU UMass game, the
Clemson pit game.

1117
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:18,200
The Bama Tennessee game, okey
State you at Notre Dame and

1118
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,800
Oregon.
So you know the only games you

1119
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:25,500
essentially Miss were the three
ACC games BC Lewisville.

1120
01:13:26,300 --> 01:13:29,500
NC State Miami which I don't
think anybody saw that coming

1121
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,000
and then we detect.
Got you again.

1122
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:38,200
Yeah they tend to do that.
Any time I pick them it's like I

1123
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,000
get one and then they bite me
the next three weeks if I go

1124
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,800
with them.
So I gotta I gotta remember if I

1125
01:13:43,808 --> 01:13:46,100
win one with them.
I got to move off of him real

1126
01:13:46,100 --> 01:13:49,700
quick and we'll also Jeff
Collins going for to last night

1127
01:13:49,700 --> 01:13:54,600
which made no logical sense.
And the only thing you could say

1128
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:58,000
is inside, we were going to go
and score.

1129
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,700
When the game we weren't going
to tie it.

1130
01:14:00,700 --> 01:14:06,400
I went six and four.
You know, the one that got me

1131
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:10,500
probably, the biggest was laying
35 and a half points with UMass

1132
01:14:10,500 --> 01:14:14,300
and not getting that I should
follow my instinct.

1133
01:14:14,300 --> 01:14:18,100
Well, they're bad team and I
should have thought in some way

1134
01:14:18,100 --> 01:14:22,300
FS you would get at least more
than 35 and a half points then

1135
01:14:22,300 --> 01:14:26,500
it but I tell you the one that
really got both of us was in Sea

1136
01:14:26,500 --> 01:14:28,500
State Miami.
Yeah man.

1137
01:14:28,500 --> 01:14:32,200
Well as we sit here we thought a
couple weeks ago was just Duke

1138
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:35,400
and we saw Miami place like what
we got a chance there now.

1139
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:40,100
It's like Miami went from being
potential to not very popular.

1140
01:14:41,100 --> 01:14:43,700
They're settled in at
quarterback again and now

1141
01:14:43,700 --> 01:14:45,900
they're starting to score some
points again and that's helped

1142
01:14:45,900 --> 01:14:48,500
their defense stay off the field
as much.

1143
01:14:49,300 --> 01:14:50,700
Yep.
And so even though they still

1144
01:14:50,700 --> 01:14:53,700
have some of the same problems
on defense that they had three

1145
01:14:53,700 --> 01:14:57,100
weeks ago, they've got some
offense to go with that.

1146
01:14:57,100 --> 01:14:59,100
So that's covered up a little
those blemishes.

1147
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:04,200
Yeah absolutely freaking lutely
brine so I think Think me and

1148
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:07,400
Brian.
Probably going to be on this

1149
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,200
after we sign off in a couple
minutes here and watching the

1150
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:12,200
end of this game because it's
going to be a tight one.

1151
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,400
This could be a very big key
Drive.

1152
01:15:14,700 --> 01:15:19,900
Frying, anything breaking in the
last nothing big man.

1153
01:15:19,900 --> 01:15:23,500
I haven't seen anything come
across my board and was going to

1154
01:15:23,500 --> 01:15:27,600
do one more check.
I'm not seeing anything either.

1155
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:31,200
