  Whoo, I need, I need a tally and seagull salty tonight.
• 1:37
  Sheldon, the Lakers had to go and win last night.
• 1:40
  They going to be all happy during this broadcast.
• 1:42
  Are we still in a happier? We got a long way to go.
• 1:45
  Happy about that win, but we got a long way to go fuck the world.
• 1:49
  It's gonna be a really good series, I think.
• 1:52
  So it is, I hope it wasn't easy. The first series of four time
• 1:56
  Champion, two-time MVPs in president, has an impressive
• 2:00
  series lot going on, man, been a while since we all got together.
• 2:04
  So decided to do that tonight, got a lot of stuff to unpack
• 2:09
  because I'm things over the last few weeks we kind of skipped
• 2:11
  over. Some more circular blue, we go
• 2:14
  on pack some stuff tonight. We're going to pack some stuff
• 2:16
  tonight. Well maybe Ricky lemonade
• 2:20
  Miracle child in with some chat tonight so but we got a ton of
• 2:24
  stuff. We are going to be looking at
• 2:26
  night. Teen place from the spring game.
• 2:28
  That seagull is kind of broken down and we've all kind of had a
• 2:31
  look at second. Third fourth, fifth sixth
• 2:34
  seventh. Eighth time for some of us and
• 2:37
  we've got other stuff to unload from a data standpoint on the
• 2:41
  spring game with shelf in a while here.
• 2:43
  Let's start with this first, guys, NFL draft was last
• 2:46
  weekend. Let's give a huge shout-out,
• 2:48
  congratulations to Tamara Connor BCP alone, DCP alone, exactly,
• 2:55
  on this very program, just a few short weeks ago and I think for
• 3:00
  some people, it surprised me, I was out buying a shed on
• 3:04
  Saturday when he got drafted. I think a few rounds higher than
• 3:08
  most people think, well, you think show, Yeah.
• 3:12
  I mean it probably little bit but, you know, he's like a
• 3:14
  versatile guy can play multiple positions, kind of like a Swiss
• 3:18
  army knife in a secondary and just like overall just a smart
• 3:22
  solid food water like he doesn't, he doesn't make a lot
• 3:24
  of dumb mistakes. So, I mean, I, you know, in
• 3:27
  hindsight, like you can quite a team with a guy like that.
• 3:31
  Almost like this. Almost like if I'm a Titan fan
• 3:34
  and a couple of years ago we drafted Caleb Farland.
• 3:38
  Shout out to Caleb. I was fucking livid.
• 3:42
  I knew what was going to happen and I'm thinking for my NFL team
• 3:47
  for what we need, don't make that pit.
• 3:51
  But me being a Virginia Tech. Fan takes me back to you.
• 3:55
  If you are a DB and you come to Virginia Tech you got a shot.
• 4:01
  She did that name, still carries some weight.
• 4:03
  If you are a decent db2, a good DB at Virginia Tech.
• 4:10
  It may take you around higher than you were supposed to go.
• 4:14
  So not say anything, bad about your mark because like, like
• 4:18
  Sheldon said, he's a great football plays, very smart, very
• 4:21
  versatile. But if you are a DB, we got to
• 4:24
  start selling. We got to start back selling
• 4:26
  that, man, you got opportunity. Yeah, I mean that's that's big
• 4:30
  because, you know, I think people had like a late fifth
• 4:33
  round grade on him is I think General consensus was late 5th
• 4:37
  and he kind of goes in that just just on the back half of the of
• 4:42
  the fourth there. So, I mean, that's a pretty big
• 4:44
  for him. And I mean, you know, and to the
• 4:47
  world Champs and antenna to the Chiefs going around early as no
• 4:51
  big deal, man. That's a little bit of extra
• 4:53
  extra change in the pocket, man. Yep.
• 4:55
  More do for him. And you know what?
• 4:57
  The coolest part did y'all see? See, the Chiefs, what they
• 5:00
  tweeted out like the day after he had drafted.
• 5:03
  You know, that he to get flagged on that perfect coverage.
• 5:06
  He did he got flagged on for your clothes and they were like,
• 5:10
  that was the kind of sold them. Like what Sheldon said he's
• 5:13
  versatile. He can also play special teams,
• 5:15
  not just play special teams but Excel it special teams even
• 5:19
  though they're trying to get rid of that in the NFL and you hate
• 5:22
  to see it because so many guys live there, but, you know about
• 5:26
  shout out. Just to a few more guys.
• 5:27
  I know Silas got sign. And Dax is getting a chance with
• 5:30
  Jacksonville same with blue and blumrich with the Bears and
• 5:34
  cheese collectively. So, you know, guys getting the
• 5:38
  shots, that's what we all want to see.
• 5:40
  But now let's start here because this is fun, this is the, this
• 5:44
  is where y'all get to learn to know us.
• 5:46
  I'm going to start in order here, Brian with the fourth pick
• 5:51
  in the draft. How did you feel about that pic?
• 5:55
  But then the remainder of the Colts draft.
• 5:58
  You know what? I really like the pic
• 6:00
  considering who already went off the bullet.
• 6:03
  Because to me, there was two ways to go about it.
• 6:06
  You're either going to get the most polished kid that has some
• 6:09
  question marks in terms of size and durability.
• 6:12
  That's Bryce, young or you take a shot with the highest ceiling
• 6:17
  player at the position in the draft and that's Anthony
• 6:20
  Richardson. And so if you told me that at
• 6:23
  for Bryson was off the board and we took a our I'm happy with it.
• 6:29
  You know, I've seen this guy, he looks good.
• 6:33
  Athleticism is off the charts. Seems to be High football IQ
• 6:37
  guy. The question is just going to be
• 6:39
  Ken some of the throwing tools, catch up with everything else
• 6:43
  but I just think it's a for what we needed and where we were
• 6:47
  picking. I think it's a home run and the
• 6:49
  rest of the draft was just kind of a by the books filling the
• 6:53
  needs with the best available. I know we traded down a lot,
• 6:56
  kind of leading off. We're in Day 2 and then we kind
• 7:00
  of got into the groove there we got a got a Lyman in there, we
• 7:04
  got a quarterback, got a tight in, got another interior
• 7:09
  lineman. So I think the draft overall was
• 7:11
  good for us. We really kind of fill the needs
• 7:13
  we needed and I think got good value everywhere.
• 7:16
  We pick All right, tally. I'm going in order here by the
• 7:22
  way. You always.
• 7:23
  Do you pick first your team pick next.
• 7:25
  Yeah, I know you were. I know you were good on Thursday
• 7:30
  night when I texted you, are you?
• 7:32
  Yeah, I mean, we needed a tackle.
• 7:34
  I didn't know what Taco we were going with.
• 7:36
  I like the kid from Ohio State. I guess the best out of the
• 7:41
  tackles their way in, but of course he wouldn't be there and
• 7:44
  we picked at 11:00 so it with him being gone out.
• 7:47
  They made a good pick up from the kid, from Northwestern.
• 7:52
  He was an All-American and he's just a, he's a good football
• 7:57
  player, you know, if you go watch his tape and stuff, and
• 7:59
  it's hard to evaluate Lyman for people who don't look at it.
• 8:02
  But, I mean, he's a good tackle, which is what we need.
• 8:06
  I mean, we got Derrick Henry, which is a house of a running
• 8:09
  back in the backfield, but if you don't have a line to protect
• 8:13
  the running game and you don't have people to throw the ball
• 8:15
  to, you don't have Anybody to give him a break and we got some
• 8:19
  trouble. So again, we had to get rid of
• 8:21
  some people just through free agency and things like that.
• 8:25
  So, takes me to the next Peak. I wasn't too happy about the
• 8:29
  quarterback pick, just because I'm not a huge Levis person.
• 8:33
  Like, I hope he does well, but it's just, I get the same
• 8:38
  feeling that I did when they picked up Malik Willis, like, I
• 8:43
  just, that's a personal thing. I just was not happy with At
• 8:47
  Peak family to be. I feel like we dodged the
• 8:50
  bullet. Then we kind of hated you the
• 8:52
  grenade. I would have much rather like
• 8:54
  try to go get somebody in free agency and use that pick on
• 8:58
  somebody else. May be a wide receiver or
• 9:00
  something, but again, that's what I get paid the big bucks,
• 9:03
  okay. Hope the kid goes on thing.
• 9:04
  Kills it. He just reminds me too much of
• 9:06
  Tannehill. Like they look too much similar
• 9:09
  to me for what they do. I hope that they prove me wrong,
• 9:14
  but we did pick up some other people in That I was personally,
• 9:20
  you know, wanted to get a couple of other running backs but after
• 9:25
  watching and looking at the running back that we got from to
• 9:27
  line, he saw it, he can catch the ball out of the backfield,
• 9:30
  which is definitely a good thing.
• 9:33
  Should be a good change of pace. If they have Derrick Henry stood
• 9:36
  there next year and bring him in.
• 9:38
  So overall most people giving us a A to B plus on draft, so I'd
• 9:48
  probably give it about a B+ on our draft, very high Sheldon,
• 9:53
  which I this is the first time I found out, he's a commie saying,
• 9:58
  respect on that. I know you were we message you.
• 10:02
  You were like we need it, we needed a cornerback.
• 10:04
  We got a cornerback in the first round rest of the draft anybody
• 10:08
  like in particular Yeah, they actually double loaded on the
• 10:13
  cornerbacks and get the name in a second George chakiris.
• 10:16
  Martin was there was their second pick.
• 10:18
  So they took a free agent at the end of this
• 10:31
  re-sign him. So 1 summed up there, I think it
• 10:34
  was a little bit more of a defensive oriented draft just
• 10:36
  because, you know, kind of got the weapons on offense with
• 10:39
  McLaren. Curtis Samuel Gibson running
• 10:41
  back and then Logan Thomas, even the can really stay healthy at
• 10:45
  tight end and then they're going to roll this and how
• 10:47
  quarterback, which I've got some reservations about, but that's
• 10:50
  just the plan right now. So they took a couple I'm into.
• 10:54
  So I got some insurance there. So overall I'd give it like the
• 10:57
  the like a solid job. No, it no one's going to really,
• 11:00
  you know, it's not eye-popping or anything but I think they
• 11:03
  added to throw in you too. Good deal.
• 11:07
  Good deal. Alright, let's move on then
• 11:12
  tell. He's got a quarterback that puts
• 11:13
  mayonnaise in this coffee now. So that's really all we need to
• 11:19
  try to hit and Tavia left us to go play with that kid.
• 11:21
  So I'm still a little salty about that even more.
• 11:38
  Oh, you're talking about the rest of the graph.
• 11:40
  It's we did. Okay, drafted one, tight end in
• 11:43
  the third round. That should win the seventh and
• 11:45
  wife of the seventh. Round of should have went in the
• 11:47
  third, but I mean you never will get value from drafting your
• 11:52
  kicker at all. No, in my opinion, let alone in
• 11:56
  the third round. I mean beyond the like one or
• 11:59
  two, best in the league. Everybody's more or less kind of
• 12:04
  in the same thing ballpark unless you're at that kind of
• 12:07
  bottom one or two it. And that's the point everybody's
• 12:11
  making, is he now has to be an All-Pro for 10 years, yeah,
• 12:16
  right to pay the debate board, so whatever.
• 12:19
  All right, well, before we get into further Football Talk,
• 12:22
  we've got to flip it over to Hoops.
• 12:24
  Not only because Shelton's back, but because there's been a lot
• 12:26
  of stuff happening since the last time we talked anywho
• 12:29
  because we were focused on Spring Game and all that stuff.
• 12:32
  So, Sheldon. Let's start with this.
• 12:35
  It came. I felt that as a shock.
• 12:37
  I think these guys felt it as a shock to Grandma's, seal moves
• 12:41
  over and goes to the Italian League.
• 12:43
  It's his Italian citizenship and all that, is this something that
• 12:47
  was on your radar that you think this potentially could happen or
• 12:51
  it hits you at a left field like it hit us.
• 12:54
  Yeah, I was actually surprised. I thought he was coming back.
• 12:58
  I just felt like, you know, he seemed like a kind of a team.
• 13:00
  First guy not to suggest that he isn't, but it just seemed like,
• 13:04
  you know, the Vibes are pretty good.
• 13:05
  And that's why I heard from some of the Insiders at nowhere than
• 13:07
  I do. So, I was a little bit.
• 13:09
  Obviously, Couture coming back. That was, you know, expected.
• 13:13
  But yeah, I think it's gonna be interesting to see because SEC
• 13:16
  is going to kind of loop reload their front Court.
• 13:18
  Had to discuss, you know, and they can survive without the
• 13:21
  silly, but at the same time, you look at it.
• 13:23
  Especially towards the latter half of last year.
• 13:26
  I mean that's that's a good amount of production got to
• 13:28
  replace so it's not going to be it's going to be a tall task for
• 13:31
  sure. Yeah, I mean he's definitely he
• 13:35
  came in. He was you know Ed moments last
• 13:39
  year was kind of the the main scoring threat for the Hokies
• 13:43
  game to game. It's going to be a big loss.
• 13:46
  I mean obviously I think you got we got some guys coming in.
• 13:49
  That can maybe potentially replace some of that back
• 13:52
  committee but you're not going to have a singular player coming
• 13:56
  in, that's going to be able to kind of do offensively with
• 13:59
  bacilli, was able to do it points last year.
• 14:02
  No, they're like if you look at the stats of guys, of his
• 14:05
  stature around like the high, major basketball like there are
• 14:08
  very few guys who are as productive offensive, they all
• 14:10
  around his bacilli was a, my opinion.
• 14:12
  I thought he'd got a little bit too much flak from some hands.
• 14:15
  He is a really really talented offensive player defense.
• 14:18
  Kind of is what it is. He's not, that's not really his
• 14:21
  game, but he was extremely efficient, and so that's going
• 14:24
  to be missed for sure. Yeah, when you talk about, you
• 14:28
  know, basketball and a lot of fans that are just normal fans,
• 14:32
  casual fans like it is very hard to be a two-way player like me,
• 14:37
  being a like a fan and watching ad last night.
• 14:39
  Like that's a two-way player. We talk about a defensive player
• 14:44
  you get like Jared Jackson jr. That's going to give you my 14
• 14:48
  points and guard the rim for you and stuff.
• 14:50
  It's hard to have that same player.
• 14:52
  Do what Brazil? He's able to do so you can't
• 14:55
  have it both ways. A lot of Times like you got
• 14:58
  great offensive player, a great defensive play or so and because
• 15:02
  you're exerting a lot of energy on both ends that are full of
• 15:05
  the, of the court. So it's going to be interesting
• 15:08
  to see which way they go, you know them, maybe getting some
• 15:11
  more talented guards. Are they all rely on?
• 15:15
  You know, a big man to do what he does, or are they going to go
• 15:19
  deep? It's going to be, it's going to
• 15:20
  be fun to watch, I guess. So, I'm hoping my young
• 15:24
  surprises. Me and does Great things this
• 15:27
  year because I need to see you. Yeah, I think it is going to be
• 15:31
  a big thing. We've got to see and obviously
• 15:34
  you just kind of led into it a couple seconds ago.
• 15:36
  Shelton with we needed to replace him with someone bigger
• 15:40
  and lo and behold they get Robbie Baron out of the portal
• 15:43
  from Northwest and he's an RV, a kid played at Tucker and he
• 15:47
  played it, your Alma maters Chief rival Collegiate here in
• 15:52
  the r-va, you know, 669 200-plus pounds, Pounds and I look at the
• 15:58
  stat sheet in like it's, he's like that Progressive play.
• 16:01
  He got a little better every year at Northwestern, right?
• 16:03
  Little better, never big jump but always just a little bit
• 16:07
  better but you probably looked a little bit more detail.
• 16:11
  What is he bringing in along with you know what mckaela long
• 16:15
  and Tyler nickel? How do you feel overall about
• 16:20
  the three transfers that came in Freddie sot.
• 16:23
  So talking about burn, first of all, like you said, he's got
• 16:27
  experience. He was a four-year plan,
• 16:28
  Northwestern started all 34, 34 games last year, averaged about
• 16:33
  seven point five and five on the glass and put, let's is not
• 16:37
  super efficient from to, you know, that's, that's not really
• 16:40
  his game. He's a prototypical stretch for
• 16:42
  so you can light it up from three for being 69.
• 16:45
  He's a really good three-point shooter about 35% and also very
• 16:48
  good free-throw shooter as well. So, you know, he's a guy that
• 16:52
  has Question you get a pretty low usage rate.
• 16:55
  Meaning you know he's not involved in the shooting in the
• 16:58
  shooting as much as a guy like Justin mutts and doesn't play
• 17:03
  quite a few minutes typically that you would see from you know
• 17:06
  a standard mi kyung, mi kyung big man, he's got a pretty slow
• 17:10
  release so he's more like a catch and shoot three pointer.
• 17:13
  So he's not going to have huge volume.
• 17:15
  Four threes, like maybe bring a game or so, but he converted a
• 17:18
  clip. So I think overall it seems
• 17:21
  you're the facing. Obviously, that's a check.
• 17:23
  Work and a guy that's experience and can bring some size.
• 17:29
  You shot a brand protect, you know, the kind of block a ton of
• 17:31
  shots but you know, obviously there's a lot more defense than
• 17:34
  just blocking shots. So overall, I think it's a
• 17:36
  pretty good pickup and you mentioned, tell nickel and other
• 17:38
  guys. Got some sighs.
• 17:39
  I expect him to be, you know, a backup.
• 17:41
  Obviously provides the minutes at that for petition and then
• 17:46
  Makai long. I vindictive into this quite as
• 17:49
  much at all demanded. But I do know he's you know, six
• 17:51
  foot seven. Pretty lengthy and Athletics.
• 17:54
  I think he brings a dimension of athleticism and length.
• 17:57
  Team that is certainly sorely. Yeah so again you lose a 20 plus
• 18:08
  points core and bacilli like you said, we're not going to be able
• 18:10
  to replace it with just one player.
• 18:12
  So the combination of these three with some younger guys
• 18:15
  stepping up, especially you know, not I mean knock on wood
• 18:21
  after this happens tomorrow when people start getting in the
• 18:23
  portal, not losing players to the portal after Mike Jones
• 18:28
  left. Left.
• 18:30
  I mean I think that's a really big thing.
• 18:34
  Definitely because you loved me. You can say it.
• 18:37
  Everybody was expecting right on by Italy.
• 18:40
  Everybody was expecting rise to be already out, but it looks
• 18:44
  like he's still there still working.
• 18:46
  No, it's a long time before the season starts, but I mean, the
• 18:49
  longer he's there, the better, so he's got the spot, he's got
• 18:54
  the, he's got what he's needy, what he needs to play him, and
• 18:58
  you're playing in the ACC, it's not much, another school can
• 19:03
  offer him, you know? So I think we're going to win,
• 19:06
  you know. And nobody really knows that so
• 19:08
  yeah, yeah hopefully hopefully he stays and contributes.
• 19:13
  Yeah because I mean looking at you know Marilyn obviously being
• 19:16
  the the particular offer here in place.
• 19:19
  I mean if that if a spot opens up there I feel like that's
• 19:23
  really the only big sway other than a true kind of blue blood
• 19:27
  that would step up and give him a spot on their roster because
• 19:32
  you like you said, planning, The ACC playing big-time college
• 19:36
  basketball. I feel like that's that's that's
• 19:38
  the a good draw, and he seems to be comfortable in the system
• 19:41
  that Mike young runs. So other than that relationship
• 19:46
  with Mike Jones, I don't really feel like there's a whole lot
• 19:48
  that will kind of change that up.
• 19:52
  And I mean, I mean, we said here a year ago and we look at all
• 19:58
  the transfers and stuff and we saw how it all worked.
• 20:01
  We were like, now, we're going to be a much better team this
• 20:03
  year, right? Right.
• 20:04
  We're going to get into tournament easy and it just
• 20:08
  things just didn't click, and I know, I know Hunter going down
• 20:12
  those Pig, but it, like things didn't click.
• 20:14
  So it's one of those things where it's like the expectations
• 20:16
  last year up here. I think for all of us they're
• 20:20
  slightly more tempered this year than they were last year.
• 20:24
  So is it one of those things where we're going to get
• 20:27
  surprised? I think that's a big question.
• 20:29
  We all last because last year we were like, me, everybody's back.
• 20:33
  We got Grant, we saw him. Not only, you know, we saw his
• 20:36
  numbers at Wright State but we saw him in the tournament,
• 20:39
  right? In that tournament game, like he
• 20:41
  lit it up and it's like, okay, this guy can play against P5
• 20:44
  competition. So it'll be interesting to see
• 20:46
  how it holds on thing is always injuries.
• 20:53
  You know what I'm saying? Like right now you're talking
• 20:57
  NBA playoffs. And you know, what injury
• 20:59
  changes, the whole dynamic of a team.
• 21:02
  So when you talk about what Virginia to in his no cop out
• 21:06
  because y'all know how I feel about the basketball team and
• 21:09
  Mike young, I want them to win, you know, I don't want the, you
• 21:14
  know, shaking hands and kissing babies no more.
• 21:16
  They got to produce, you know. So, with that being said,
• 21:20
  though, I can't ignore that. You only have You know at the
• 21:24
  most 10 10 rotational players and if 2/3 of your players go to
• 21:29
  Aaron who are you know big parts of your offense and defense,
• 21:34
  you're in trouble and you know what?
• 21:36
  The tour went down and then rice went down.
• 21:39
  You know, having those big injuries to not a very deep
• 21:42
  team. It's kind of like what it's
• 21:44
  doing from the stock to me, like some people's all will be fine
• 21:47
  and they'll be able to do this, but now that's a big deal,
• 21:50
  especially when you look at the defense ticket or plays Because
• 21:54
  you have that defense wins championships.
• 21:56
  You can score and he can scores with everybody knows he can
• 21:59
  score but it's underrated to what he does.
• 22:02
  On a defensive part of the in getting that one stop against
• 22:06
  certain teams at that pivotal time.
• 22:08
  We just wasn't able to do it last year.
• 22:09
  So I feel like this year expectation should still be I do
• 22:17
  want to say as high but still pretty high but it's comes down
• 22:21
  to Andrews because rice has a lot of potential you know along
• 22:26
  with the people who are mean Padula Couture coming back then
• 22:31
  bring it in some of the transfers like they can
• 22:34
  definitely still have a great team or a very good team.
• 22:38
  It just comes down to how healthy do we stay in my
• 22:40
  opinion? It's true.
• 22:42
  All right. Yeah, now in rice, red rice for
• 22:44
  a full season knock on wood. Health - all right now where my
• 22:52
  expectations for the men's team are tempered.
• 22:55
  My expectations for the ladies. Teams are right here.
• 22:58
  Like seriously like through the roof and they got three young
• 23:03
  ladies from the transfer portal. I don't know much about them.
• 23:06
  Sheldon, I know you got some infos, we're going to definitely
• 23:08
  let you leave this. We got Matilda from Michigan
• 23:12
  State. A lot of my shoe from the
• 23:14
  Minnesota and Olivia someone. From Wake Forest, give us a
• 23:19
  little bit on each. How are they going to help this
• 23:21
  team? Which was a final four team up
• 23:24
  going into the fourth quarter against LSU, this season.
• 23:29
  Yeah, education is so sure. I think it is part of this
• 23:34
  prominent one. She's a 6-foot guard / for just
• 23:37
  to pop lazy. The three little bit started,
• 23:40
  going to games last year, for Michigan State, 12 points, three
• 23:43
  rebounds. But her string splits were
• 23:45
  absolutely the charts show she taught Forty percent, overall,
• 23:48
  39 percent from three, and then 95 percent free.
• 23:51
  Throw line like this cross. Not missing free throws.
• 23:54
  So, but mostly, you know, you focus on that three percent from
• 23:57
  three, her plea to shoot. Threes is greatly helped or
• 23:59
  something. Because you, and looking was
• 24:02
  lights out. Georgia and more lights out on.
• 24:04
  Also, very high volume of attempts.
• 24:06
  That's going to open up a ton of spacing for those Kelly to do
• 24:08
  anything in the paint. So I think that's part of the
• 24:10
  biggest thing for for ech about 70% of our field goal attempts
• 24:14
  are from, it's kind of a game like, she's She can take that, I
• 24:18
  guess. Attacked invest a little bit.
• 24:20
  So, but she's really kind of like a, you know, a three and
• 24:23
  detailed player and the you got a llama show 6424.
• 24:28
  It started three teams last year at Minnesota, another player
• 24:32
  who's, you know, has some experience average 14 points per
• 24:36
  game. Last year, she does not shoot
• 24:38
  through, she's making in score. I think her value is going to be
• 24:41
  in providing some some rest for Arc Italy because she's going to
• 24:46
  give us some day. Depth at that poor position.
• 24:50
  So that's a big addition. And then also, you got Olivia
• 24:52
  cemil, he mentioned, another forward, three games started
• 24:55
  last year, at Wake Forest, 7.1 7.6 rebounds pretty solid
• 25:00
  splits. Overall she, I would suspect,
• 25:02
  she comes off the bench, kind of liking that Geezer Greg type of
• 25:06
  role, should provide some defense and, you know, more
• 25:08
  experience again. So if you look at this, these
• 25:10
  three editions in total, we see is one tons of experience and
• 25:15
  all these ladies can score And also just, you know, forward
• 25:18
  that plate. That's one thing that always
• 25:20
  needs to make sure they have is for to have to listen and get
• 25:22
  some rest. I think with Carly wentzel
• 25:26
  talented young redshirt freshman coming up the pipe for next
• 25:30
  year. Tank will have some depth for at
• 25:33
  the guard spot little bit more than they did last year.
• 25:34
  So a working a little bit of a break, but because I think it
• 25:37
  was probably playing about, you know, seven minutes, especially
• 25:40
  in the stretch run last year. Like there were some games where
• 25:42
  I don't think she came out at all.
• 25:44
  So just having a play like that, that can score and Is everything
• 25:47
  we've heard about when so is she is an absolute dog.
• 25:49
  So I think we're gonna get we're going to get your shine a little
• 25:52
  bit more next year. So like I said last year's team,
• 25:57
  if they had any Achilles heel it would have been depth this year
• 26:00
  a case has been kind of restocking that a little bit.
• 26:02
  So I think they're going to be a lot deeper than they were last
• 26:05
  season and that's, that's gonna be big.
• 26:08
  Yeah, like you said, if the one thing that they struggled with,
• 26:11
  especially as we saw down the stretch against LS, she was
• 26:13
  having some death, it may be being You're not quite as
• 26:18
  physical as well as she was getting away with that game.
• 26:21
  So getting more depth is only going to help that situation and
• 26:25
  put them in a better position to kind of close games out against
• 26:28
  that higher level competition which we saw some earlier in the
• 26:31
  year where they were struggling to kind of close out with some
• 26:33
  of those, those higher level competition.
• 26:35
  And then obviously, they went on that big run when everything
• 26:39
  kind of clicked for them up until the final four there.
• 26:42
  So, I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be interesting to
• 26:46
  see how all these Pieces kind of mix in and what McKinney Brooks
• 26:49
  is able to do with them. So yeah, so I think what we've
• 26:55
  got here is obviously again. It's improving the team, I love
• 27:00
  the way you talked about the young lady shooting 40%.
• 27:04
  What the Michigan State transfer because I mean we know Georgia
• 27:10
  and Kayla can shoot the lights out and you put another for I
• 27:12
  mean that just I can only imagine teams defense is where
• 27:16
  it's like we need to go our kid lie.
• 27:18
  We can't bleep and double kill anymore.
• 27:19
  Why? Because we got three people that
• 27:21
  can shoot 40 percent from three if we give Look, they're going
• 27:24
  to knock them down and free throws everything over, 95
• 27:29
  percent free, throw shooting. And now like, yeah, like, she
• 27:34
  can take it off the dribble song, right?
• 27:35
  Yeah. She's not just that shooter.
• 27:37
  And it's gonna be like time, just like just go after the
• 27:38
  basket, go after the basket, please, please, it's your free
• 27:41
  two points. 32 points. Exactly.
• 27:44
  All right. So we're going to close the door
• 27:46
  on Cassell Coliseum and we're going to walk back over to Lane
• 27:49
  Stadium boys. Because, yeah, the spring is a
• 27:53
  couple. Weeks ago, we had an episode and
• 27:55
  the portal has been flooded ever since.
• 27:58
  So, I'm going to kind of take this room by room.
• 28:01
  Y'all give me shock, not shocked.
• 28:03
  But let's start with the quarterback room.
• 28:05
  First, I'll let you start it out.
• 28:08
  Tally Taj Bullock and Devon, Farrell hit the portal, any
• 28:11
  shock, and he not shocked and he, you wish they'd stayed not
• 28:15
  sharp. I mean, I liked Devon fair.
• 28:17
  I didn't like him. We're number seven, but you know
• 28:20
  how, I like their referral from what I've seen of them.
• 28:24
  But not shocked because you don't need six people.
• 28:26
  In a quarterback room, you don't need five people, you know, you
• 28:30
  do. When you're when you're scrapped
• 28:33
  on what you have, as far as scholarships, you can't have 65
• 28:41
  people in a quarterback room so you know all the best to the
• 28:45
  kids but not shocked. Yeah I'm right there with you
• 28:51
  tally. Just looking at Bullock and
• 28:54
  Pharaoh it seemed like their time was up.
• 28:58
  Yeah, the younger guys coming in, you had pop coming in, he
• 29:00
  had whiskey coming in and then you had drones that came in
• 29:03
  which came in as being the guy, competing for the starting job.
• 29:09
  That's your for right there. The kind of put, you know,
• 29:14
  Bulacan Farrell on the spot where if they didn't, Beat out
• 29:19
  pop Watson which it seemed like they had for that kind of that
• 29:23
  number three spot heading into heading into the fall, it was
• 29:29
  time for them to look at some other options.
• 29:32
  So I mean best of luck to them but it definitely not shocked.
• 29:36
  In terms of expectation there, what I like about what I've seen
• 29:41
  with the team and you know what, the transfers and things like
• 29:45
  that, but the last regime, it's Everybody, who transfer?
• 29:49
  We got a horror story. You know what I'm saying?
• 29:51
  Somebody lied to me. Somebody did this to me?
• 29:55
  Somebody kick me in the nuts. It was always some bullshit.
• 29:58
  Like we got some kind of freakin House of Horrors.
• 30:02
  Every time somebody left. I really think that the coaches
• 30:05
  have been honest with these kids and say, hey, this person is
• 30:09
  performing better than you. We may need to help you look
• 30:12
  elsewhere, and that's football. You know what I'm saying?
• 30:15
  I think that they have been, I think prize been Very honest,
• 30:18
  and candid in his delivery when he talks to the media.
• 30:23
  And I think again, I'm not in the room, but all the locker
• 30:27
  room, I think that the delivery that he's giving, the players
• 30:29
  has been the same. So it looks like these kids have
• 30:33
  grown out of competed and when the chips fall where they may
• 30:36
  looks like sometimes time for people to move on.
• 30:38
  So I hope everybody lands on their feet.
• 30:41
  You know, sometimes kids got a, you know, they got to move down,
• 30:44
  you know, sometimes you gotta move down to Two or, you know,
• 30:49
  maybe not a power five school to get your shot.
• 30:52
  So I love to see. I love to see kids go somewhere
• 30:55
  else, and get a shot unless you're hitting Hook.
• 30:57
  When you go to Tennessee, and you get drafted a show you her
• 31:00
  Junior Tech. I liked, I was crying.
• 31:03
  I was so happy for the kid, but I was crying.
• 31:07
  It was part of Virginia Tech High.
• 31:39
  Kind of a tough one for you to swallow them and dialing, right?
• 31:41
  So why you fell in love with several years ago?
• 31:44
  Love is Route. Running gone as well as
• 31:47
  Christian Moss, Christian Moss, not transferring out as what
• 31:50
  I've read. What?
• 31:51
  I heard, but he's just effectively no longer on the
• 31:54
  team and we know that happens sometimes.
• 31:57
  But I mean, that's another one of those rooms, right?
• 32:00
  Is like, 14 people in there. Yes, you need to carry a lot of
• 32:03
  wide receivers, but 14 just absurd.
• 32:07
  And we talked about that a little bit last time because we
• 32:09
  talked about our who's going to be.
• 32:11
  Yep. You know, that that four and
• 32:13
  five, you know, maybe Six Wide Receiver, the steps up and then
• 32:16
  we kind of saw Ari. We had Tucker step up, we have
• 32:19
  Steven Gosnell step up. So So you know guys that were
• 32:23
  smaller players on the team. Last year took some big steps in
• 32:27
  the offseason on top of us, bringing in three solid
• 32:29
  transfers at the position. So guys start getting pushed
• 32:33
  down the down the line there. And, you know, unfortunately for
• 32:36
  for down, right, I mean injuries kind of derailed his development
• 32:42
  and he's a guy that could never just stay healthy long enough to
• 32:45
  improve and climb the depth chart and then you got Christian
• 32:48
  Wallace, who's kind of been banged up.
• 32:51
  Not as serious as right? But kind of off and on banged up
• 32:54
  throughout his time, as well. And it just seemed like he
• 32:58
  couldn't kind of kind of find a spot in that new rotation.
• 33:02
  Seems like he's a guy that loves Virginia Tech.
• 33:05
  If he's if he's going to stay Virginia Tech and kind of stay
• 33:09
  on just have a football retirement there, but, you know,
• 33:14
  sad to see those to go. But, you know, it's definitely
• 33:17
  difficult when you have that many mouths to feed in the
• 33:20
  receiving room. You have similar similar
• 33:25
  sentiments from me as well. It was a, you know, darling,
• 33:28
  right. Never really got to see him do
• 33:30
  much because of injuries Christian Moss, was kind of
• 33:33
  looking forward to him on the, on the field, but it all comes
• 33:38
  down to what have you done for me, lately?
• 33:40
  You know, they hate to say it that way, but when you go and
• 33:43
  you see, you know, Holloway producing and getting better and
• 33:47
  you see Gosnell take a next step and, you know that he's a guy
• 33:51
  that can play at this, at this level, I mean he was at North
• 33:54
  Carolina and he comes here and he has some production last year
• 34:01
  so it's you can get lost in the shuffle and it's another thing
• 34:06
  that frontale is bringing in like if you look at our recruits
• 34:12
  from last year those wide receiver kreutz are are legit,
• 34:17
  you know Aiden green already been there and getting some
• 34:20
  praise and In him on the field and getting some Bayern.
• 34:24
  You know, it's deep in that position man.
• 34:27
  And if you ain't it's like Ricky Bobby's.
• 34:30
  If you ain't first you're last like makes no good.
• 34:33
  It doesn't do you any good to be seventh or eighth on that depth
• 34:36
  chart because you're probably not playing you know we're going
• 34:38
  to looking at that in later but you would Latrell sudden getting
• 34:41
  behind the yeah. The secondary in that game even
• 34:45
  though yeah didn't hold it in. But I mean he was out there
• 34:48
  showing what he can do. So it's I'm fine, man.
• 34:52
  I think I think all of them are competing, you know, watching
• 34:55
  this team and watching the transfers and think, I think
• 34:57
  everybody's competing. So I need to see some of that
• 35:01
  competition turned to some W's in the fall.
• 35:03
  There you go. Absolutely absolutely.
• 35:07
  Got a couple more things to go through.
• 35:08
  He will hit the defensive back, /, linebacker room next, where
• 35:11
  we saw Jalen Hoyle, who would effectively moved from safety
• 35:15
  over to Sam during the Spring? Elijah, who's cornerback will
• 35:19
  see his, I think we, This is highlight unfortunately up there
• 35:25
  for a little while and cam Johnson of those three.
• 35:28
  I think the first two doesn't shock anybody I think cam
• 35:31
  Johnson, shocked everybody. But Brian you know we talked
• 35:34
  about it a couple weeks ago. You shall not be a chance to
• 35:38
  listen. Brian was like Ken Johnson
• 35:40
  didn't look good out there. He looks like he got worked.
• 35:44
  He looks smaller. He was still listed 165 pounds
• 35:48
  it, right? At six foot tall, he'd been in
• 35:50
  the G over a year and had no significant developments with
• 35:55
  his body, right? That's a big thing to me.
• 35:59
  You see most guys get in within a year.
• 36:01
  They're up 15, 20 pounds, they look Cut.
• 36:03
  They look trip. They look stronger and it wasn't
• 36:07
  that way with him. I think it shocked us because we
• 36:09
  saw him on the field and we felt like we could, that could be
• 36:11
  something there. But now, I look at that room,
• 36:15
  I'm a little worried about the room will hit in just a moment
• 36:18
  here. But you know, Anything to add to
• 36:21
  any of those three guys. Any of y'all.
• 36:24
  It's like, am Jonathan from what I seen.
• 36:28
  I can't have a significant injury last year.
• 36:30
  Right? What was earlier in the year?
• 36:32
  He didn't have a knee injury or something.
• 36:34
  She has some kind of injury that Kim Jung.
• 36:38
  Kim Johnson had somebody missed, I thought he missed some weeks
• 36:41
  because of a tweak. I don't think he was out.
• 36:44
  Okay. Well, I was thinking he has some
• 36:45
  kind of injury, but yeah, he definitely looked small, man.
• 36:50
  If you're if you're working on getting bigger and getting
• 36:53
  longer he was, he was small and no significant gains.
• 36:58
  So kind of getting pushed around in the spring game.
• 37:02
  You're getting pushed around in the spring game like we go and
• 37:05
  we play whoever pick somebody you know I'm saying it's not
• 37:10
  going to be good so I was surprised to see him in the in
• 37:15
  the transfer portal but I can understand why because I mean
• 37:19
  again Talking about the wide receivers BB is going to be
• 37:22
  similar. Like, they're bringing in a lot
• 37:24
  of kids that are very kind of a lot of these kids already.
• 37:28
  Kind of have some college bodies.
• 37:30
  I mean, if you go look at most Phillips, he is.
• 37:34
  He can step on the field and play somewhere said, yeah, you
• 37:38
  can put it in the same way. I was I was just looking at it
• 37:52
  like looking at km skill. Set is pretty much similar to
• 37:56
  how it was when we first came in I mean he's good when he's in
• 37:59
  man cover just follow a band. Chase a man he's fine he gets
• 38:03
  lost in zone coverage and if he's got to press against a
• 38:07
  bigger receiver he's in the struggle to.
• 38:09
  So he's at some point we got other guys that can do these
• 38:14
  things better or at least as good kind of felt like you know,
• 38:19
  the spring game. Is his chance to say alright I
• 38:21
  can lock down that for spot spot in that corner back room and he
• 38:26
  just did not do enough to do that and I feel like he's going
• 38:29
  to take an opportunity to see if he can be that for some other
• 38:32
  team because I just don't think he's gonna be able to do it in
• 38:35
  this room. So yep.
• 38:37
  Shall not as not as big of a shock as I thought.
• 38:39
  Tell them anything on his injuries.
• 38:41
  Last year I saw you and we said that was like, you jumped in and
• 38:44
  did he get inch? I don't recall him.
• 38:46
  Yeah. The, I just looked at that, he
• 38:48
  did have an injury and October so I don't know what the extent
• 38:53
  that was. I just figured injured, it's
• 38:55
  harder to put on weight. I will say given the fact that
• 38:59
  we have a nutrition center now if you're not gaining weight
• 39:02
  with that thing and they're like, that's that's and we got a
• 39:06
  new Strength staff. Like that's yeah, receivers.
• 39:11
  I'm someone who believes that you can kind of see potential
• 39:14
  right away. And I think in the situation
• 39:17
  when, you know, you Just didn't have any any surprises in there
• 39:19
  so it's not too surprising in hindsight obviously hurt.
• 39:22
  You know, there's a lot more town in network and can work
• 39:25
  with. Yep, it's funny you mentioned
• 39:27
  like the, you know, the weight and stuff and it's like - or
• 39:32
  came in. I think it what 165 to last
• 39:34
  year? He's up to 180 already, right?
• 39:36
  Yeah. Like you said, like you just
• 39:37
  said, Sheldon, there's that nutrition center.
• 39:39
  That is literally building a plan to get the kids, bigger
• 39:43
  stronger faster but there's no development.
• 39:45
  Okay, are you following the plan?
• 39:48
  So very interesting one. Last piece that I think we said
• 39:56
  it, we've said it in chat, we've said it each other on fax
• 39:59
  messages. There's going to be one that we
• 40:01
  didn't see coming. I thought cam Johnson was it?
• 40:04
  But again, looking back, listen to what Brian and them said and
• 40:06
  then seeing the wait, it wasn't him, but Callie unfortunately,
• 40:10
  one of your BMF is in the p0rtal and yeah.
• 40:15
  Sorry, moisten the defensive end.
• 40:18
  And it's a place where we need death.
• 40:23
  I don't know what to say about this because he had some okay
• 40:26
  moments in the spring game. So, you know, I'll let Sally
• 40:33
  lead on this one since this is boy.
• 40:35
  Well, I mean, again, big body watching him on the field.
• 40:40
  He was a big guy and I'm just going to say when you're moving
• 40:46
  people in positions that you need help in.
• 40:50
  Hopefully you're doing that because you're bringing somebody
• 40:53
  else in. So I'm hoping it is say I'm
• 40:56
  hoping that it's a means to an end and then going hey we got
• 41:01
  something coming. You're going to have to slide a
• 41:04
  little bit and sometimes people don't want to do that.
• 41:07
  So we'll see you next couple days or flashes from Burgos than
• 41:11
  I did from voicing in terms of yeah.
• 41:13
  Feels. No.
• 41:15
  Now obviously moistens got the body that you want at that
• 41:18
  price. Yes.
• 41:19
  So if that that's where it's going to be a loss, I think long
• 41:22
  term is that you know, where was his ceiling, we're not going to
• 41:25
  get to realize that but you know, based on his body type but
• 41:30
  I know with defensive in a lot of times, if you don't flash,
• 41:33
  surely you're not going to flash, right?
• 41:35
  We're not we're not going to see it, so it's really hard to kind
• 41:38
  of see if he had already kind of reached more or less his
• 41:42
  ceiling. And he's looking for some other
• 41:44
  opportunity or what. But like I said, I saw a little
• 41:47
  bit more from Burgos than I did for moist in, in the spring game
• 41:49
  in terms of kind of, you know, that second line there.
• 41:53
  But yeah, I'm definitely with you tally.
• 41:55
  And that hopefully, there is a plan in place to not only help
• 42:01
  with the depth because obviously, this this creates a
• 42:04
  depth problem regardless of where moist and was in terms, of
• 42:09
  ceiling and ability. But if we can do something to
• 42:11
  raise the Overall top end of that room as well and, you know,
• 42:16
  then and by default create depth Downstream.
• 42:20
  Some guys that may have already been in that that, you know, two
• 42:23
  or three role in the spring. That's going to be even better.
• 42:27
  All right, Brian. But we're going to get into
• 42:29
  where we feel. We should add.
• 42:30
  But Brian. Did you get what I sent you?
• 42:34
  Yeah, I did. I did he can you pull that up
• 42:36
  real quick? This is actually a good test run
• 42:38
  for what we're going to do in a few minutes here with the take.
• 42:41
  Yeah yeah I'll I'll put it on. Who we all need to see this
• 42:43
  voice. Y'all need to see the from I
• 42:47
  All-American. True freshman defensive back
• 42:51
  sending out a little cryptic tweet here.
• 42:55
  I mean watching LeBron Magic About 22 minutes ago, his job
• 43:10
  just got a whole lot easier. We know y'all there in a lot of
• 43:14
  people visiting right now. Now I'm old I'm not going to
• 43:17
  speculate names but I'll ask y'all, he's saying his job.
• 43:22
  Just got easier. Where do y'all a?
• 43:25
  Where do y'all think we should add and could this be one of
• 43:28
  those positions? Go ahead.
• 43:30
  Whoever wants to lead. I mean, I'll leave room.
• 43:34
  Yeah, I'll let these if you if he's saying if a cornerback is
• 43:37
  saying his job got easier. That means he's not having a
• 43:41
  cover as long as what I'm thinking, that's like a football
• 43:44
  fan, that means you're getting some pressure on the quarterback
• 43:47
  so that'll be bringing in some defensive line and some
• 43:51
  defensive end pressure again. Got moisten your left and then
• 43:55
  you got a cornerback Santa's job got easier.
• 43:59
  He ain't talking about playing with another cornerback.
• 44:01
  I don't think, you know, Now and one of those is rushers was in
• 44:06
  Blacksburg last night. So so I think some pictures on
• 44:12
  Instagram. If y'all if y'all are listening
• 44:15
  you better start doing some detective work like we do over
• 44:18
  here. Not just that tweet anybody
• 44:34
  who's a Twitter person in the twitterverse.
• 44:38
  There has been a lot of a lot of movement in the last hour or so
• 44:43
  from the staff and not not just it wasn't normal stuff.
• 44:48
  You know it started maybe last night.
• 44:50
  I think fontelle retweeted a this is home tweet from like
• 44:55
  December from Lee. No no you know back in December
• 44:58
  December 7th. What is that?
• 45:00
  But you never know man. Man, I will say these coach,
• 45:04
  these coaches are working, you know, I'm excited that they are
• 45:07
  excited. So it seems like they genuinely
• 45:10
  like recruiting, you know? And once we start Landing a
• 45:14
  couple of these big fish and when I say big fish, I'm just
• 45:17
  saying, even if it's a person is filling a need for us, that's
• 45:20
  been have to be a four or five star, but if he's feeling the
• 45:23
  need and he's able to get in and play.
• 45:25
  That's fair. That's, that's big for us.
• 45:27
  So, once we start putting people in places and start letting
• 45:32
  those people Deuce we're clean. Just gets that much easier.
• 45:35
  If you get a legion is, come in from ODU and have a great year
• 45:41
  and gets drafted, and he walks across there with his Virginia
• 45:46
  Tech highlights. I mean, you're not just gets
• 45:49
  easier, so he's even easier. Okay.
• 45:52
  Do y'all agree with this that defensive line is one without a
• 45:57
  doubt with defensive line edges, one, the all agree that some
• 46:02
  Buddy, on the interior offensive line is right there or somewhere
• 46:08
  like that. Yeah, probably with Johnson
• 46:12
  leaving, obviously that fourth spot is up for grabs in the
• 46:16
  corner, back room that we've got to get one defensive back and
• 46:19
  it's not necessarily saying that that DB room is not good.
• 46:23
  That DB room. Is you argue between them the
• 46:26
  linebacker and what's the, what's the better of two?
• 46:29
  The first ever you're very good. It's just there's a lot of
• 46:32
  Behind them in. Brian you pointed out time and
• 46:35
  time again. Last year when we did recap
• 46:37
  fucking got tired at the end of games because there was nothing
• 46:41
  behind anybody. When the fourth quarter came
• 46:44
  guys, were gas in the second are because they literally had
• 46:47
  played every snap in the game because was nothing behind them.
• 46:50
  Got to have you got even worse when strong wind down, obviously
• 46:53
  you got to have done, Got to have death man.
• 46:57
  So, that's that's what we need. That's what we want.
• 47:01
  That's what helps you win, football games.
• 47:03
  And most of the time you expect to have a little bit of a
• 47:06
  drop-off from their first to your second team, you know, in
• 47:12
  your rotation supposed to be a little bit of a drop-off, but if
• 47:15
  you can keep that drop-off minimal, then you can win some
• 47:19
  football games that way. So hoping that's what we're
• 47:22
  headed to. Let's hope.
• 47:23
  Let's hope. All right, let's hit real quick
• 47:25
  here because we've got to we've still got a lot to unload but I
• 47:29
  want to go real quick. We got two commits.
• 47:32
  We did not discuss the first was Tyler Mason running back down
• 47:35
  there in North Carolina. Three star top 20 players in the
• 47:39
  state of North Carolina. / 24/7. I mean I mean, it's closed.
• 47:49
  You know, I know Mount Airy, is a pretty good program down
• 47:51
  there. We're tapping into the the Frank
• 47:54
  Beamer motherland. I mean I'm going to trust that.
• 48:01
  Yeah. I'm gonna trust the staff
• 48:02
  because for me, just me watching.
• 48:04
  I watched a little bit of it for him and I did what I like to see
• 48:09
  is when I watch something I'm, can he come in and jump,
• 48:13
  somebody who's here? You know what I'm saying?
• 48:16
  I don't watching his film, I don't know that he could, I
• 48:19
  don't know that he's better than anybody that I've seen in that
• 48:23
  room right now, but again, he's that was a Jew.
• 48:28
  Junior feel, you know, I've looked at some feel like, oh,
• 48:30
  wow, I feel like he can play right now.
• 48:32
  So I didn't really move the needle for me, but I can
• 48:37
  understand, I can understand the taking the commitment.
• 48:41
  We have another one of his teammates committed as well,
• 48:43
  right? Yes, we do.
• 48:45
  We got to get to the big 64 215 pound as soon as I said 64
• 48:49
  couple weeks ago. Tally.
• 48:50
  That's good enough, right? He's told her that we had.
• 48:53
  That's good. Yeah.
• 48:54
  Look at look at in Tyler mais. I mean they run that split Veer
• 48:57
  Mount Airy. So.
• 48:58
  You get a lot of those downhill. Dive runs that Veer, and he's a
• 49:06
  guy that's going to get you some good yardage.
• 49:08
  He's got a little bit of Wiggle, but I like how he finishes his
• 49:11
  runs, but he doesn't have a whole lot of like Elite
• 49:13
  Breakaway speed. So I don't see a lot of home
• 49:16
  runs out of him, but he's a guy that can kind of work between
• 49:19
  the tackles pretty well and get some solid yards.
• 49:22
  Yep. Like I said, it's only as Junior
• 49:23
  tape. So we know how guys developed
• 49:27
  and There's also reasons why they're taking guys and it maybe
• 49:31
  he ain't. I mean standard running back.
• 49:34
  One more commit to talk about that would be Emmett laws 6-foot
• 49:38
  260 pounds and this is what I love to hear.
• 49:42
  DeMatha Catholic and Hyattsville Maryland.
• 49:45
  When you start going to get that school and shaking his head
• 49:48
  because he knows right, you start getting players from.
• 49:51
  DeMatha says something Elijah Brooks pays off.
• 49:54
  Pretty quickly. And We all said it right before.
• 50:00
  We got on here tonight, he reminds us of a typical Virginia
• 50:04
  Tech defensive tackle. He just did.
• 50:07
  I mean he kind of looks like one of the Hopkins twins clones.
• 50:11
  Yeah. Does he play like them though?
• 50:13
  He plays like of give me four more likely when I mean he's got
• 50:17
  he's got good motor. He's a guy that can he plays
• 50:21
  bigger than his size is so that that's always what you'd like to
• 50:24
  see. You know whether that translates
• 50:27
  to Power 5 level, we'll see but I like the way he kind of gets
• 50:34
  in the lane and creates a little bit of Havoc.
• 50:38
  There could probably work on his hands a little bit but that's
• 50:40
  pretty much every High School defensive lineman look at they
• 50:48
  don't getting a school. That's cool.
• 50:50
  That's all I'll say you know DeMatha High School I mean we
• 50:55
  had what that's what I would love is from to, right?
• 50:58
  Uh-huh. Yeah.
• 50:59
  So, you know, again in relationships is what pays off,
• 51:03
  man. You know what I mean?
• 51:05
  Because if you are what we are, and you take a chance on some of
• 51:08
  these kids, especially now that the transfer portal is how it
• 51:12
  is. It's like you take this kid, he
• 51:15
  doesn't work out, there's a transfer portal, you know, no,
• 51:20
  no, no harm, no foul, it didn't work.
• 51:22
  We bring somebody else here and you go find you some to go not
• 51:25
  saying that's going to happen with this kid, but I'm just
• 51:27
  saying with a school like that, if you take a player from there,
• 51:32
  every year, One year, you're going to hit a big player,
• 51:37
  you're going to get a big player whether it's they just are
• 51:41
  underrated and you develop them well or they're just high rated
• 51:45
  and they come in and produce. So yeah, you keep taking them
• 51:48
  out the kids, why not all the time all the time and she had
• 51:52
  anything on any of these guys before we move over to your
• 51:55
  segment, sir. Now I got nothing other than
• 51:58
  let's get that that DMV pipeline going.
• 52:01
  I mean, we tried it with basketball.
• 52:02
  We got Mike Jones. Got, you know, it's obviously
• 52:05
  but if we can get a DVD pipeline, I think that's, that's
• 52:08
  pretty good. Excellent, excellent.
• 52:11
  Well, let's flip it over to you man.
• 52:13
  You have kind of did some diving into the spring game statistics
• 52:16
  and you want to talk about a few things so Sheldon the floor is
• 52:20
  yours. Yeah, so just, you know, not too
• 52:24
  much here, but I think the biggest thing I noticed is your
• 52:26
  spring game. Is mainly the anchor explosive
• 52:28
  plays obviously last year. Spring game was pretty rough on
• 52:33
  the offensive side which was a pretty big fork, Shadow work of
• 52:36
  the ensuing offensive season for us.
• 52:39
  You look at the data, The Maroons add 16 plays of 10 plus
• 52:44
  yards and five plate, 20 million Birds.
• 52:47
  It wasn't quite as good as the white team, but they still have
• 52:49
  9 of 10 plus yards. So a lot more explosive plays
• 52:52
  obviously with, you know, baseball to be back.
• 52:55
  I really like his ability to make guy Smith and space.
• 52:58
  He's got some good cutback ability as well.
• 53:01
  I noticed that, you know, they were getting some swing passes
• 53:04
  early in the game to kind of get guys out, you know, East End
• 53:07
  that, you know, get involved in space which was pretty good to
• 53:13
  go on Felton, he's got some burst, I noticed that watching
• 53:15
  the game and then Brice Tibbetts.
• 53:17
  Well, he averaged five point three yards per carry, I think
• 53:20
  our average last year for rushing was 3.1 the so it does
• 53:24
  include sacks might be a little bit higher but That's that's
• 53:28
  pretty rough I think last year. You know I don't I haven't
• 53:31
  checked our explosive plays numbers from last year.
• 53:34
  My assumption is they were not great.
• 53:36
  I've noticed a chart success rate overall was but but you can
• 53:40
  immediately tell like this team has more Playmakers.
• 53:43
  And I think if they can get at least you know those, those 10
• 53:46
  plus 20 plus yards. That's going to go a long way to
• 53:50
  helping sustain drives because you can't really rely on this.
• 53:52
  I think at this juncture is something offensive line, you
• 53:55
  can't really rely on them to To create like 12-14 a drives.
• 53:59
  That's just not like, I don't think that with the all, find
• 54:02
  the way it is right now. So if you can kind of get those
• 54:04
  big place to kind of, You Know, lesson, how many pages you have
• 54:07
  to score that's going to that's going to be big time.
• 54:12
  Yeah, when we were looking at it me and tell you were there at
• 54:15
  the game, I mean we saw consistently for offensive
• 54:19
  movement especially obviously on the maroon side.
• 54:22
  But you know for the white side, if drones wasn't getting sacked,
• 54:26
  they were moving the ball. It was just drones was getting
• 54:28
  sack and they couldn't run the ball because that offensive line
• 54:31
  was there was such a discrepancy between the white offensive line
• 54:33
  compared to the marine officer one.
• 54:36
  But, you know, when, when they had time, they were making some
• 54:39
  things happen in the passing game.
• 54:42
  It's nice to see more, you know, you talked about the explosives,
• 54:46
  please. We didn't see those kind of
• 54:49
  intermediate, those 15 to 20, 25 yard gains a whole lot.
• 54:52
  Last year, he was either a whole lot of Dink and dunk and then
• 54:56
  the occasional deep ball to Caleb Smith that would go here,
• 55:00
  40 or 50 yards. But there wasn't those
• 55:03
  consistent plays. That kind of get you down the
• 55:06
  field quick. Yeah, where you can kind of mix
• 55:08
  in the running game, one or two times.
• 55:10
  And all of a sudden you got 15 to 20 yard Games back in.
• 55:14
  Well, if we talk about its core. Yeah, if we talk about it too
• 55:16
  much, we'll get Curtis back on his soapbox.
• 55:20
  You can't In the format that we had to spring game is so hard
• 55:24
  because we don't have a deep team, you know, and you can't
• 55:27
  see everybody do what they can do for real.
• 55:32
  You know what I'm saying? Cause it's just, you just don't
• 55:34
  have enough. So, again, spring game, we got
• 55:37
  to go back to it. I know, Curtis could run a whole
• 55:39
  segment on what we might can do a little bit different.
• 55:43
  Yeah, but it's like that's why we, that's why we get ready for
• 55:46
  the season because when you see all of The Playmakers on offer,
• 55:51
  The side of the ball on the offense.
• 55:54
  It looks like we are in a much better position than we were
• 55:57
  last year again. I don't know where that falls
• 55:59
  into the season, but I know that we're better than we were last
• 56:03
  year on offense and I know that we have people that they're
• 56:06
  going to have to game plan for. But yeah it's what Shelton just
• 56:10
  said though the amount of explosive explosive plays most
• 56:14
  people think explosive played. They think 25 30 yards.
• 56:17
  Thank you for categorizing that Sheldon.
• 56:19
  The saying it's 10 plus is considered an Explosive play,
• 56:22
  right? But it's not only listen,
• 56:24
  Marines numbers are great. The white numbers though, you
• 56:28
  said 10:00, right? Or nine plays of ten yards more?
• 56:31
  Yes, we're at nine places 10 plus yards for the white team in
• 56:35
  think how bad that offensive love was, right?
• 56:38
  And thank of and then everybody go mentally last year to the
• 56:41
  white team. They're nothing.
• 56:45
  No, I mean nothing. So what you're saying is, if
• 56:49
  we're kind of doing like a comparative analysis, The
• 56:52
  season, the spring game last year, everything has taken a
• 56:55
  very, very good step regardless. Regardless, you know, if you
• 57:03
  have to be able to find that stat, what our explosive plays
• 57:05
  were last year. There weren't many, there
• 57:07
  weren't many like, like you'd, like Brian said, it was either
• 57:09
  ding conduct occasionally, we did a shot but you can't win
• 57:12
  games like that. You came and by Sheldon giving
• 57:17
  us this info about having, you know, over 15 plus plays.
• 57:21
  Combined on both sides of 10 plus yards and having 5 of 20
• 57:25
  plus yards. That just tells you that the
• 57:28
  needle is moving better for the offense.
• 57:32
  I'm not concerned about the defense.
• 57:34
  I'm not. Well, people like, well, they
• 57:36
  gave it up and you like, but you know what?
• 57:39
  I saw this defense last year. Keep us in games, keep us in
• 57:45
  games. A, a competent offense wins,
• 57:51
  three of those games. I know tally, you sitting up was
• 57:53
  Italian, which one of y'all texted me that said state was an
• 57:56
  anomaly Brian? I said, yeah.
• 58:15
  And then you got to understand, I don't know if I mean, they
• 58:17
  were pretty bad off that game. If you go back and look at if
• 58:21
  you go back and look at our office and production that game,
• 58:24
  it was nothing in the first half.
• 58:26
  It was, it was really a nice stretch in the third quarter.
• 58:29
  Yeah. It was nothing in the first half
• 58:31
  and then we came out and we hit right with like a tight end
• 58:35
  dragon or something. Like first play of the third
• 58:38
  quarter and it's like, okay, we got something.
• 58:40
  So, yeah, Brian go. The hill.
• 59:12
  Is now, I thought his route running was was very, very good.
• 59:17
  He's very Krista way. The way he stands his raps and
• 59:19
  make sharp like that rock running goes a long way in terms
• 59:22
  of generating separation, we combine that with good passing
• 59:25
  Concepts you guys open. So it's not just about the speed
• 59:28
  or think that lettuce is MM. It is how do you, how do you
• 59:31
  attack the Deep? How do you run your routes?
• 59:33
  I thought, guys don't get a really good job.
• 59:36
  I hate to be that guy but I gotta say it.
• 59:39
  You got a white wide receiver. That's a great while.
• 59:42
  Run. I was in there with me.
• 59:45
  Hey Wes, welcome. That's kind of what I'm looking
• 59:48
  at in like, you know. Yeah, something wrong with man,
• 59:52
  even on some of the plays that he didn't Baldwin thrown to him,
• 59:55
  he had a like, he showed a route truth, you know, it wasn't just
• 1:00:00
  a go, you know, my me like he really did.
• 1:00:04
  He really was running Chris Rock so and like Sean said, he did a
• 1:00:09
  good job of influencing the the guys in the secondary to.
• 1:00:12
  Yes. You create that separation.
• 1:00:14
  That's going to be big for us because that's what we struggle
• 1:00:17
  with a lot last year was separation.
• 1:00:20
  We have so many, I mean, I feel like in the passing game, of
• 1:00:22
  course we got to get this offensive line, right?
• 1:00:25
  But in the passing game, I feel like we have so many different
• 1:00:28
  weapons to use. We have some deep deep stretch,
• 1:00:32
  the field type guys, we have some intermediate type, guys, we
• 1:00:35
  have some possession receivers. We have a couple of tight ends
• 1:00:38
  that can be mismatches and catch the ball, they have some
• 1:00:41
  blocking tight ends. This is some stuff that could
• 1:00:44
  get fun, man. You know, saying we can look at
• 1:00:46
  this thing, it's half, empty, or half full.
• 1:00:48
  I'm always half-full type guy and I and offense, man, watching
• 1:00:54
  the stagnant offense that we had last year and just seeing what
• 1:00:57
  I've seen so far, it's like, I'm excited.
• 1:01:00
  How can you not be excited? I'm almost say this now, before
• 1:01:04
  I kick it over to break the way the team has been restructured
• 1:01:08
  offensively Is this is this is Taylor Bowen.
• 1:01:13
  If we improve significantly based on what we've done in the
• 1:01:16
  offseason, the wide receiver room, the quarterback room
• 1:01:21
  potentially improving the offensive line.
• 1:01:22
  Maybe in the next couple weeks here it's his show.
• 1:01:25
  If we still make it if we still rank it 100 or below without
• 1:01:31
  seeing significant improvement with our eyes hiss, he's going
• 1:01:35
  to be absolutely doused with gas and liquid.
• 1:01:39
  Yeah. A'ight with saying that before
• 1:01:42
  we get into the tape because we got 19 plays to show you all.
• 1:01:45

• 1:03:40
  We good, we good. Yeah.
• 1:03:42
  I like that. I like the way you set that up.
• 1:03:45
  I get the tape ready here guys. So the first place we're looking
• 1:03:48
  at and let me get this shared here.
• 1:03:52
  Well, first thing we're going to look at is I'm going to set it
• 1:03:56
  at while Brian's pulling it up. Effectively the first four plays
• 1:03:59
  we're going to be looking at here are run plays and basically
• 1:04:02
  how we look like dog crap last year to this year.
• 1:04:07
  Well just what we saw at the game itself, overall Run game
• 1:04:13
  looks better. So let's Don't play one run.
• 1:04:17
  Yes, a play one. We got here.
• 1:04:20
  Coming out you got shotgun trips right.
• 1:04:23
  You're going to see a little read-option, we're going to see
• 1:04:26
  Bryce Duke with the long run here.
• 1:04:30
  I'm gonna go ahead and play it here.
• 1:04:31
  We'll look at it one time and then we'll run back through it,
• 1:04:32
  slow. Yeah, that little wiggle to
• 1:04:41
  wiggle wiggle. Let's look at some of the
• 1:04:45
  blocking here. Mrs. This is the maroon line so
• 1:04:50
  you got Parker shit. Smash Brothers and Brody
• 1:04:54
  Meadows. Along with think that says that
• 1:04:59
  cold picket. Yeah, Cole.
• 1:05:01
  Pick it on the bottom there. Yeah.
• 1:05:04
  And I mean what you like to see here, you get some, get some
• 1:05:06
  good double teams in the middle. Get some movement.
• 1:05:09
  You see Parker getting up to the the next level here, going to
• 1:05:13
  wall off that Mike and I like the angle that that Bryce takes.
• 1:05:17
  Are you gets really tight to where to where the light the
• 1:05:21
  were the pushes before been in the bag that gives them the
• 1:05:24
  opportunity to get past that D? And that's kind of slow playing
• 1:05:28
  The Zone read here. And I mean good good good job.
• 1:05:34
  I'll be a very elusive at the second level he's running by
• 1:05:37
  some guys guys here. Really good move against Jalen
• 1:05:40
  Jones in the open field and then finish his run.
• 1:05:43
  Pretty good here. Nice little finish their done
• 1:05:47
  pretty big run, good run good wiggle and he did what you're
• 1:05:52
  supposed to do, right? There's one guy beat that guy.
• 1:05:58
  It was the edge and it was the outside linebacker crashing,
• 1:06:01
  beat him and like what you said, how he got tight?
• 1:06:04
  He was literally on. I think that was, he was on, Bob
• 1:06:07
  kicks ass. Yeah, he was literally on Bob
• 1:06:10
  Shakes as Yeah, that's what you got to do there, because the
• 1:06:15
  way, they were slow played, like some defensive ends will attack
• 1:06:19
  the mesh point, you know, some, depending on who's the
• 1:06:23
  quarterback is, will automatically crashdown.
• 1:06:25
  They want to take away the Run, make the less athletic of the
• 1:06:30
  two backs. They are keep it.
• 1:06:32
  In this case, it would be the quarterback.
• 1:06:34
  In this case they were slow playing, it kind of making the
• 1:06:37
  quarterback make a decision, they're good choice to give it
• 1:06:40
  and good run there by Rice Duke. All right, so we got from a
• 1:06:46
  second play here. Yeah.
• 1:06:48
  So as play I'm pulling up now here that's Take a look.
• 1:06:56
  It's a little closer to the goal line.
• 1:06:58
  This is in towards the end of the first quarter.
• 1:07:00
  We already got two on the board. Try to punch it in a third.
• 1:07:03
  One shotgun double Wing. We got a split Zone chance black
• 1:07:09
  for the score here. This is really good run.
• 1:07:12
  So I'm going to play it through one time.
• 1:07:14
  Let you guys look at it. Clean it up.
• 1:07:18
  Have it up on the screen. Hang on, let's try it again.
• 1:07:25
  Here we go. Running back here.
• 1:07:34
  Good move there in the hole. Again, kind of similar to what
• 1:07:38
  we just saw with with Bryce Duke on the the safety.
• 1:07:41
  Coming up to fill it. A good kick out here by
• 1:07:47
  business. Did you guys know Cole Nelson?
• 1:07:51
  I didn't clean it up. Yep, we got some solid double
• 1:07:54
  teams right here and right here. Watch the run to about black.
• 1:08:01
  Watch it right now. He's in the hole.
• 1:08:05
  He doesn't go straight at the guy.
• 1:08:06
  He cuts right there? Yeah, because that's that up a
• 1:08:09
  little bit. That's all.
• 1:08:13
  I've been told I was told today. Chance, black sucks at
• 1:08:16
  everything just What is that?
• 1:08:40
  Split Zone concept go back. We peek at it real quick and
• 1:08:45
  they'll is that Johnson Johnson 12.
• 1:08:49
  Yes, Johnson is 12. Jesus Christ Yep.
• 1:09:02
  Small. Very small, very small.
• 1:09:06
  He's got ran over, but go back to the go back to the Box.
• 1:09:10
  You charge dropped it. I was going to go back to where
• 1:09:13
  effectively, I'll tell you when just so you can right there.
• 1:09:18
  Okay, there's your split Zone concept.
• 1:09:20
  Brian is mentioned several times.
• 1:09:23
  Explain what that is Brian because we're seeing is
• 1:09:26
  basically they're doing this in one.
• 1:09:30
  Split Zone does is your blocking back against the guy you would
• 1:09:36
  normally read in a, in the read option.
• 1:09:39
  So, instead of leaving him on black, you're actually kicking
• 1:09:43
  him out with the tight end coming across the formation
• 1:09:46
  which essentially changes the the gaps for the defense.
• 1:09:50
  So you can create some confusion with that.
• 1:09:53
  You got a guy that you were accounting for over here moving
• 1:09:56
  all the way across the formation and again we get did some good
• 1:10:02
  jobs there with the kick and then like I said, good double
• 1:10:04
  teams on both of the Interior guys.
• 1:10:06
  And you know yet More Caden. Moreover, their kind of get the
• 1:10:12
  good block with sik and then kind of getting up there and
• 1:10:14
  Walden off that backer. Hmm.
• 1:10:18
  Backer say you got in there. Yeah, I don't know for sure what
• 1:10:24
  I offense was doing last year. I don't even want to go back and
• 1:10:26
  try to watch it but I think the concept of what Joe Rudolph may
• 1:10:30
  have wanted to do was more downhill running, you know line
• 1:10:33
  up big on big my guys better than your guy and that's pushed
• 1:10:36
  you down and we fucking work better than their guys and you
• 1:10:39
  ain't pushing the ball so even if you look at that plane it
• 1:10:42
  doesn't go for a touchdown right there if you can get three yards
• 1:10:46
  on a First and Ten on our own, Any running play, that's, that's
• 1:10:50
  good. Which we were like, we hardly
• 1:10:54
  could do last year. So I think that the, the
• 1:10:57
  blocking that they have started, doing some of the Zone blocking
• 1:11:01
  that we were doing the crooks brought in, and maybe the way
• 1:11:04
  that the office is going, is definitely going to see us back
• 1:11:08
  to what Sheldon said have a little bit more explosive plays.
• 1:11:11
  So, I'm excited about that. That's what we need for sure.
• 1:11:15
  And he talked about explosive plays, here's one of those that
• 1:11:17
  shovel song. About.
• 1:11:19
  We got on this one. We got shotgun.
• 1:11:23
  Why off Trio. So we got trips here with the Y
• 1:11:28
  and it's just power. We're going to see Power here
• 1:11:32
  and it's chance. Black showing good patience and
• 1:11:35
  reading his blocks and then kind of exploded outside again to Big
• 1:11:39
  gain for. So I'm going to run it through
• 1:11:40
  and let y'all look at it. Get up, but thanks buffer.
• 1:11:50
  At the beginning of it, I don't know why it's doing that.
• 1:12:03
  And I mean what you're seeing here so this is supposed to be
• 1:12:06
  the guard kicking the H kind of wrapping in the hole that's the
• 1:12:10
  design but because the defensive end is crashing here.
• 1:12:15
  You're going to see the guard kind of roll up.
• 1:12:18
  Take that defensive end. And that means that the angle
• 1:12:21
  for the H has to be kind of a little bit tighter.
• 1:12:24
  It gets just enough and then black, really good job.
• 1:12:28
  Being patient. They're letting Tisdale get
• 1:12:31
  caught in the trash a little bit and then bouncing out and get
• 1:12:34
  another strong, big run. Like, he had a good start block
• 1:12:36
  out there too. Yeah, right there, big time.
• 1:12:46
  The sudden blocking I can't, I can't tell who's on defense
• 1:12:51
  defense. Y'all to get your shot, that's
• 1:12:53
  bad, get your shit together. Maybe that's why he said his job
• 1:13:00
  getting a little bit easier. Exactly.
• 1:13:02
  People off of him. Why y'all need to get your shit
• 1:13:05
  together? I wasn't doing shit.
• 1:13:08
  Hey Brian tonight, can I ask I'm assuming?
• 1:13:10
  34 is Tisdale, could he have taken a better angle there?
• 1:13:15
  So looking here, I mean he kind of gets caught up with McDonald
• 1:13:18
  here and McDonald. I think should have went a
• 1:13:24
  little bit wider here and it makes Tuesday's problem a little
• 1:13:27
  bit job, a little bit harder, but I think if he sees where
• 1:13:32
  McDonald is he should know that. Now he's going to need to be
• 1:13:35
  responsible for for the edge and he doesn't get out there enough
• 1:13:38
  and unfortunately that gives black a lot of room to get
• 1:13:42
  outside there. It looks like neither of them
• 1:13:47
  really knew what they were doing here.
• 1:13:50
  If I'm being honest, McDonald doesn't really do a good job of
• 1:13:55
  kind of easy. In this case, he's supposed to
• 1:13:57
  be kind of wrong. Arming, the, the puller, and,
• 1:14:01
  and keeping outside leverage. He does a piss-poor job of doing
• 1:14:04
  that, so that makes Tisdale's job a lot harder to kind of get
• 1:14:09
  over the top and straight. Yeah, I would still say, even
• 1:14:13
  though the plate is uneven, If they had defended it perfectly,
• 1:14:17
  that is still likely 34 yard, gain it random, and it
• 1:14:22
  perfectly. Unless somebody absolutely
• 1:14:23
  shoots like McDonald's, a at the pylon and he's coming behind
• 1:14:30
  him. You likely getting out here.
• 1:14:33
  Probably getting to the 45. And that's those plays that you
• 1:14:37
  need, right? I mean this is great.
• 1:14:40
  Explosive plays are great, right?
• 1:14:42
  We need more of them, but we still need the four and five
• 1:14:45
  yarders because of the next play Brian's about to show.
• 1:14:49
  If we can do this on Third and short every year.
• 1:14:53
  Or third and short. During the year, there's going
• 1:14:56
  to be a lot of W's in the win column.
• 1:14:58
  There's me a lot of numbers in the W column.
• 1:15:01
  Excuse me. All right, because this is like
• 1:15:03
  one of those metaphors. What about it?
• 1:15:08
  But to me, this was like, when I search, I remember seeing this
• 1:15:12
  play in the game, and Brian show me the tape on like, this is
• 1:15:16
  like the play. This is third and one.
• 1:15:18
  This is what we didn't do. Well last year and all in the
• 1:15:21
  renovation, we could not convert to save our ass last year.
• 1:15:25
  But on this one. Why play for?
• 1:15:26
  We got shotgun doubles Wing tight.
• 1:15:29
  You just going to see another split Zone here in the short
• 1:15:31
  yardage and solid successful convert.
• 1:15:36
  I mean, this is not a flashy player.
• 1:15:37
  Play in. This is kind of what we kind of
• 1:15:40
  do with this a little bit is that, you know, I'm not we're
• 1:15:42
  not just going to show you the big plays, we got to show some
• 1:15:44
  of these things that show Improvement and show that there
• 1:15:48
  is a little bit of light here. So I'll let it run through one
• 1:15:53
  time and then we'll take it a little bit slower.
• 1:15:58
  You're just a solid via for 5-yard gain there, but, you
• 1:16:01
  know, a lot of good things here that we didn't necessarily see a
• 1:16:04
  lot of last year, struggled in short, yardage Parker picks up
• 1:16:10
  the blitz are here he recognizes, there's probably a
• 1:16:12
  check here but watching Pick Up The Blitz are coming off the
• 1:16:16
  edge. Fix that up there.
• 1:16:20
  That play doesn't really do anything.
• 1:16:21
  If you don't get that block, Good kick by Benji again, coming
• 1:16:27
  across the formation kicking Nelson out again and then let's
• 1:16:33
  look at the different. Look at the solid double team
• 1:16:36
  here with Brody Meadows and in Braylon more, that's what kind
• 1:16:41
  of creates that lane for them. They eat up.
• 1:16:44
  Pollard pushing, my probably gets about three or four yards
• 1:16:47
  off the ball. He got a little nice window,
• 1:16:49
  they have to run through makes Benji's job a whole lot easier.
• 1:16:52
  He doesn't have to move. Coal away there.
• 1:16:55
  Because you get the whole opening up with the double team,
• 1:16:58
  which is what you actually want. I mean, the kick is nice, the
• 1:17:01
  kick is solid, but it's the double team that really kind of
• 1:17:03
  opens that thing up. I mean and that's the plays
• 1:17:08
  you've got to have. Yeah but like I said it's not
• 1:17:11
  sexy but it's the plays that he drives going.
• 1:17:15
  Exactly, exactly. So I mean, I think overall we
• 1:17:20
  see this and it's a lot of maroon, but again with maroon,
• 1:17:24
  we were pretty much playing with the first team offensive line.
• 1:17:27
  Yeah. So, that makes you feel good
• 1:17:30
  again. I feel even better about Brody
• 1:17:32
  being the 2D because I still think the stuff we saw in
• 1:17:36
  chaplain last year. That guy's taking growth and,
• 1:17:39
  you know, from what we've heard, what we've heard inside spring
• 1:17:44
  practice Is he was getting there.
• 1:17:47
  He's getting there and his big UNS physical, he is as he is.
• 1:17:51
  I think it's going to be crazy. Let's get to some other stuff,
• 1:17:53
  but what do you want talk about next.
• 1:17:55
  All right, so we moved on from the running game, pretty much
• 1:17:57
  everything from here forward is going to be something different
• 1:18:00
  than just straight. Russia's.
• 1:18:02
  What we're looking at here is showing some improvement from
• 1:18:06
  Wells, both from just delivering the ball to recognition.
• 1:18:11
  So that's we're going to look at now, first play here, I'll just
• 1:18:15
  Just let it kind of go through. We're looking at shotgun doubles
• 1:18:18
  Wing. It's going to be a kind of a
• 1:18:20
  five-step deep out. This is going to show Wells,
• 1:18:24
  delivering a very timely, throw to God's now and again showing
• 1:18:27
  off some a guy's nose route running that shuttle was talking
• 1:18:30
  about earlier. Like I say very good route by
• 1:18:42
  Gosnell against Tulane there, so, you know, it's a solid solid
• 1:18:45
  cover. Accurate ball delivered right
• 1:18:48
  out of the break. So I possibly get from the boy,
• 1:18:54
  I was definitely giving them a little room to throw that thing.
• 1:18:57
  Now it could have been me to little bit of my biased look
• 1:19:00
  like they did not send as much pressure.
• 1:19:05
  And maybe the white team just didn't have the horses to do it,
• 1:19:09
  but they didn't send as much pressure on the white team as
• 1:19:12
  the maroon team, just what I see.
• 1:19:16
  Yeah, I think you're right. White team's defense didn't
• 1:19:19
  pressure the quarterback as much as the brooms team's defense
• 1:19:23
  deal. Yeah, I would agree with that
• 1:19:27
  for sure. It was definitely something
• 1:19:31
  balanced there in terms of the calls.
• 1:19:32
  And I mean obviously you got two different people calling each
• 1:19:36
  side there so there could be just those are the differences
• 1:19:39
  there. Alright, let's move on to play
• 1:19:42
  six. Let me get that pulled up here.
• 1:19:46
  Alright. Alright, so for place takes we
• 1:19:49
  got trip swing tight, right? This is going to be kind of a
• 1:19:52
  seam attack in the passing game and this is going to be a free
• 1:19:58
  play. So Wells, recognizes the free.
• 1:20:01
  Play through the back shoulder Fade up there to Tucker Holloway
• 1:20:07
  so let's one run that through. Let's take a look at it.
• 1:20:13
  That will see a few things. He obviously, Wells, recognizes
• 1:20:15
  right away. He's got a free play.
• 1:20:17
  We see, I can't tell who that is, it jumps off?
• 1:20:20
  Sides. On the end there, but defensive
• 1:20:22
  end up at the top jumps off sides.
• 1:20:26
  She's got a free play. We got a seam attack on this
• 1:20:32
  side at the bottom and then we got tal away, running the fade
• 1:20:37
  at the top. Jonathan got lost.
• 1:20:41
  Yep. He got turned around, you got
• 1:20:47
  turned around. But I mean the balls place it a
• 1:20:51
  pretty good spot. Yeah kind of back shoulder.
• 1:20:53
  You like to see if maybe a little bit more outside but he's
• 1:20:56
  got a free play. He took the shot that's going to
• 1:20:58
  get him. Probably the most yards safest
• 1:21:00
  plates as well here. So I like the decision and I
• 1:21:04
  think you know that shows a little bit of growth from last
• 1:21:06
  year. I think for Wells didn't panic
• 1:21:09
  in the situation made the right through especially since its
• 1:21:12
  fourth and four. He knows he's got a first down
• 1:21:14
  regardless so just just to get situationally aware play.
• 1:21:21
  And we'll move on to play seven here as I get that pulled up.
• 1:21:27
  No bronzer, while you're pulling that up.
• 1:21:30
  You know what we've seen here are these is this just like RPO
• 1:21:36
  Moorhead basic plays or is this little bit sprinkled on some
• 1:21:41
  minutes? I mean these are still kind of
• 1:21:44
  similar route Concepts to what more runs more head runs.
• 1:21:47
  There's you know a few things here there that are Um but I
• 1:21:51
  mean, these are typical Moorhead styled play calls.
• 1:21:57
  Definitely seeing scheme wise. We're going to get to that next.
• 1:22:00
  Okay, a lot more Concepts from Moorhead in this version of the
• 1:22:08
  offense than what we saw. I think it really any point last
• 1:22:12
  year, okay? I mean I think we just looking
• 1:22:16
  at these place to as you run this one when we watch it.
• 1:22:19
  Here Wells. Yeah.
• 1:22:22
  And let before I get into into that I mean let's let's talk
• 1:22:26
  about the Moorhead RPO Concepts in general, right?
• 1:22:28
  So you know we hear are Bo get thrown out there a lot.
• 1:22:33
  We know kind of what it is, but in the Moorhead system, there's
• 1:22:37
  kind of steps that are taken. The quarterback takes to know
• 1:22:41
  whether he's throwing it, giving it or some combination of that.
• 1:22:46
  And the first thing you're looking for is that there's
• 1:22:47
  there a free access through as their, it alert throw where you
• 1:22:51
  can just get it out there and get some free yardage.
• 1:22:54
  That's what you're looking for first.
• 1:22:55
  So if they answer to that is, yes, then you're going to throw
• 1:22:58
  that if not you're going to move to the next step.
• 1:23:01
  Next Step do is there boxer. Pressure issues is the Box
• 1:23:04
  overloaded. Is there somebody showing Blitz,
• 1:23:08
  pre-snap? That could create some issues
• 1:23:10
  for you. If the answer is, yes, you're
• 1:23:13
  going to go ahead and make a check to pass protection, and
• 1:23:15
  you're going to throw the pass in that RPO call.
• 1:23:19
  The answer is no you don't move to the next step.
• 1:23:22
  Then you're going to i.d. the read, Defender pre-snap, and
• 1:23:25
  determine if they can make the tackle on the ball carrier at or
• 1:23:29
  near the line of scrimmage. So if the guy that you're
• 1:23:33
  reading, typically in like a 4-3 defense that we're looking at
• 1:23:36
  here, that's going to be the outside linebacker to the throw
• 1:23:40
  side. If that guy can come up and make
• 1:23:43
  a plate near, or at the line of scrimmage, Then you're not going
• 1:23:49
  to. You're going to either go with
• 1:23:50
  the pass. So if the answer is yes, you're
• 1:23:53
  going to make a perimeter throw or a pitch.
• 1:23:55
  Whichever the play call is. And if he's kind of outside the
• 1:23:58
  box, he's playing that past leverage, then you're going to
• 1:24:01
  go with that Middle Run or dive. So that's kind of the
• 1:24:04
  progressions that you go through pre-snap.
• 1:24:06
  And then obviously, you're still also reading that that read band
• 1:24:10
  during the the mesh point at the start of the play.
• 1:24:15
  So that's kind of of what you what the progressions are for
• 1:24:18
  the quarterback in terms of the run-pass option in the Moorhead
• 1:24:21
  system. Okay, so let's start with this
• 1:24:24
  play here. Shotgun trips left.
• 1:24:27
  We're going to see a bubble, our po.
• 1:24:30
  This is going to be Wells. He's going to fake the show, The
• 1:24:35
  Dive there. He's going to get it out to his
• 1:24:38
  slot receiver there. Berkey, you can see here if you
• 1:24:43
  watch it's really on a want, you know, one or two-person route.
• 1:24:46
  Here. So that, that's typical of rpos.
• 1:24:47
  Usually have pretty much everybody blocking except for
• 1:24:51
  one or two routes within the concept and then obviously, the
• 1:24:53
  running back carrying out the Run, fake or run, depending on
• 1:24:56
  what the what the decision there is, but I'll let it play.
• 1:24:59
  First, we can look at it, some more.
• 1:25:03
  First down. Yep.
• 1:25:05
  And I like the design here that was beloved.
• 1:25:09
  Yeah, inside run action. You're reading McDonald here,
• 1:25:13
  you'll see. He's right at the edge of the
• 1:25:15
  Box, he's not playing leverage on the slot.
• 1:25:18
  So that means that that's that's where they're going to look and
• 1:25:22
  it kind of puts those Edge and spill defenders in Conflict here
• 1:25:25
  because McDonald comes up on that run fake.
• 1:25:30
  And obviously, with this one you got your well, so you can take
• 1:25:33
  off to in this concept. So you kind of got if If a
• 1:25:37
  Donald chases, the slot after the fake Wells can keep it and
• 1:25:43
  get up the alley, but since McDonald comes up, he's going to
• 1:25:47
  make the throw and you already got your receivers out here to
• 1:25:50
  the trip side blocking, the the to Corner, it will the corner in
• 1:25:54
  the same here. So just a good concept, you
• 1:25:59
  know, and well executed here. So Nothing to really complain
• 1:26:05
  about with that. As I said, it's just a good
• 1:26:07
  play. Yeah, really, really good skiing
• 1:26:10
  and that's kind of what we're going to talk about here is kind
• 1:26:12
  of going through the scheme Concepts and seeing how Tyler
• 1:26:17
  Bowen is doing a good job of getting, guys, in positions to
• 1:26:20
  make some plays in the passing game.
• 1:26:22
  But I think the other piece about that and I mean, Callie
• 1:26:24
  you've mentioned it and I've shown you a lot of mention it to
• 1:26:26
  in the past. The there we saw nothing but
• 1:26:30
  fastballs it felt like from Grant next year that you can't
• 1:26:34
  make the fastball throw that he threw that accurate.
• 1:26:37
  He put some touch on it, he made 49ers job, easy catch right
• 1:26:42
  around that corner, right? All right, so we got we seen the
• 1:26:49
  white team on offense now guys. White team on offense and this
• 1:26:57
  is a, this is another rp0 concept yet.
• 1:27:00
  Shotgun why off trips left? And we're looking at a rp0, kind
• 1:27:07
  of three-step dig. And this is going to be drones
• 1:27:11
  to Felton connection. So that's something that we're
• 1:27:13
  going to look forward to potentially seeing a whole lot
• 1:27:15
  of in the future, please. All right, so right away.
• 1:27:23
  If we look here, we got this backer, he's showing Blitz.
• 1:27:26
  He's up in the box. So, right away, pre-snap.
• 1:27:29
  That's going to be a shift in the protection and you're
• 1:27:32
  probably going to throw it to the to the primary outside
• 1:27:34
  around. Here's which is going to be
• 1:27:36
  filled and running a big When we actually run it through first
• 1:27:45
  and I'll lay back and slow. On it there's that explosive
• 1:27:52
  plays shelter has been talking about another explosive play and
• 1:27:58
  I like the way this is thrown on time.
• 1:28:01
  Drones as a good job of carrying out, the Fate getting his feet
• 1:28:05
  set, delivering it to Felton and felt in good hands and then
• 1:28:10
  running through contact there to get some bonus yards for us,
• 1:28:13
  right? And the protection wasn't awful.
• 1:28:20
  That's about the best I can say about the way of the wind the in
• 1:28:23
  this case the protection, when compared to what it had been.
• 1:28:27
  Yeah, I mean, you still have the defensive end flying off the
• 1:28:29
  edge there because they couldn't God save me.
• 1:28:32
  Now, make up the Blitzer or the, or the down linemen there.
• 1:28:36
  So the picked up, nobody even if I can get your shit together.
• 1:28:41
  I tell you when offensive linemen are thinking too much
• 1:28:45
  that I who Michael get, they always get.
• 1:28:47
  Nobody anytime you're thinking that much.
• 1:28:49
  You're not going to block anybody, right?
• 1:28:55
  All right, so we're going to move on to the next one here,
• 1:28:58
  let me get that pulled up Curtis I'll let you wax poetic while
• 1:29:01
  I'm getting ready. Well the fun.
• 1:29:03
  This is a fun with this was the fun one and we've seen him
• 1:29:06
  already and I put honorable mention of being VP at a game
• 1:29:13
  was got Benji guys. Now that was the guy was, I love
• 1:29:18
  the most and you already saw with the Block, Tally, has
• 1:29:22
  already complimented his blocking on some of those wraps.
• 1:29:25
  Just basically still making people or wiping people out.
• 1:29:29
  This was the big one in. This was, this is why I'm
• 1:29:34
  saying, when Gallo leaves or maybe even this year in Gasps
• 1:29:41
  tail and a quad right. Yeah.
• 1:29:45
  Legit for sure. Very legit.
• 1:29:49
  I love the concept of this because we've already seen, you
• 1:29:52
  know, we've talked about, you know, they turned swings here
• 1:29:55
  early in the game. Shelton talked about the first
• 1:29:57
  play was a swing pass out to tude and made it made Jalen
• 1:30:01
  Jones, missing space got a pretty good game to start things
• 1:30:04
  off. We've seen the swing pass a
• 1:30:06
  couple other times and now they've already set that up.
• 1:30:10
  And now we get this play here. We got shotgun.
• 1:30:13
  Why trips left. This is a swing motion tight in
• 1:30:18
  angle so they shut their going to show the swing motion with
• 1:30:21
  the running back and the tight end.
• 1:30:25
  In this case, Benji guys know is going to show block and then
• 1:30:28
  he's gonna kind of escape on an angle route, towards the middle
• 1:30:31
  of the field, I'll let it run here. and unfortunately, don't
• 1:30:35
  get a good angle there on the On the the running back motion.
• 1:30:40
  We all saw this live though, you know, we saw this live so you
• 1:30:45
  can see the running back right here, had winning motion and
• 1:30:49
  then kind of flared out for the bubble.
• 1:30:53
  Benji was here. He kind of set up like he was
• 1:30:55
  going to block the the Sam. You can see a little bit here,
• 1:31:00
  set up like he's blocking the same, then he angled inside
• 1:31:02
  there. And right to the middle of the
• 1:31:05
  field. Just a perfect play call against
• 1:31:07
  that defense. Head around for him.
• 1:31:10
  Yep. And Matt little round and then
• 1:31:13
  and then made a got mrs. Basement a good to see benjin
• 1:31:18
  just running man you know he's at two big injuries so to see
• 1:31:22
  him just playing football, is good.
• 1:31:25
  Yep happy for him. But again, great concept here,
• 1:31:28
  good Ball by Wells, nothing really to complain about here.
• 1:31:33
  And like I said, From a scheme concept, really, really good
• 1:31:35
  scheme. Go back just a hair because you
• 1:31:37
  talk about the scheme, all that concept.
• 1:31:40
  Just I'll tell you what a pause. Because this is what I noticed
• 1:31:45
  and again, I'm the Casual here. Pause it.
• 1:31:49
  Not yet. Let it go a little further.
• 1:31:52
  Let's get further into the play right there.
• 1:31:56
  Pause it even if Jenkins goes with him perfectly.
• 1:32:02
  Look at that. Look how wide open in the amount
• 1:32:04
  of space and I don't know if that's basil tune or somebody or
• 1:32:08
  black or Duke look at that space.
• 1:32:14
  There is no one within 12 yards of him.
• 1:32:19
  Well, this is also showing you how when you attack laterally
• 1:32:22
  you can set things up in the middle of the field, stretch the
• 1:32:26
  defense out and then you exploit them in the middle over the
• 1:32:29
  vehicle to hell. So I just said you mentioned
• 1:32:34
  attack in the middle a little bit so I do have a kind of a
• 1:32:38
  niche that for you want a slap to hear 2021.
• 1:32:42
  If you look at percentage of to throne between the numbers, One
• 1:32:49
  219 yards, downfield. So basically, like, you know,
• 1:32:52
  from where the, you know, the 40 is marked like 119 yards down
• 1:32:55
  the field, what we call the intermediate-mass we write, I
• 1:32:58
  think 129th out of 130 FBS teams.
• 1:33:01
  So basically the last couple years of .8, we never ever threw
• 1:33:05
  the ball over the middle. Like you can see a lot of, you
• 1:33:07
  know, RPS answering tough. As you said, the reason that you
• 1:33:11
  want to do that is just to keep defenses honest so that they
• 1:33:14
  can't just you know the linebackers can't just ignore
• 1:33:17
  that part. Of the field.
• 1:33:18
  So I will coercing hear from, you know, from Bowen, rpos
• 1:33:22
  science. All that stuff to try to Target
• 1:33:24
  the middle of field because that just didn't happen when
• 1:33:25
  referring to the last couple of years.
• 1:33:27
  Yeah. And you're not the first person
• 1:33:30
  to bitch about this on that program on this program because
• 1:33:32
  man did I bitch about not attacking the middle of the
• 1:33:35
  field for at least three years, at least three?
• 1:33:39
  Yeah, it was, it was bad, it was real bad.
• 1:33:43
  When we talk about I'll hit the layups, a lot of times some of
• 1:33:46
  these plays. Not like stupor.
• 1:33:50
  Nope, like fancy, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:33:52
  You just like, Sheldon just say like Brian said, sometimes you
• 1:33:55
  just got to take the layups if the middle of the field is open.
• 1:33:58
  Put the ball there. You know, have a player and we
• 1:34:02
  just sometimes like we haven't done that especially not with
• 1:34:06
  one that was here like it was like they were so set and the
• 1:34:09
  more we found out was they were like one read, throw the ball to
• 1:34:13
  that receiver you know, that receiver in open you running
• 1:34:16
  like come on. Yeah.
• 1:34:19
  Now to be fair like I think I'm in order to the ball over the
• 1:34:22
  middle. You do have to have a strong arm
• 1:34:24
  quarterback, make reads and obviously back to Burma after
• 1:34:28
  was not that but at the same time again you have to you can
• 1:34:31
  just completely ignored. Because if you do then like the
• 1:34:33
  linebackers just aren't going to respect that part of the field.
• 1:34:35
  They can they can shoot over so well made and we gotta get a
• 1:34:39
  white team showing here again. White team backlight seen back.
• 1:34:42
  Yeah, let's go back to what Sheldon said white team even
• 1:34:47
  though they put zero points on the They did have some good
• 1:34:50
  drives in some very good plays again.
• 1:34:52
  We compare last year to this year, they actually did
• 1:34:55
  something. So what's this one run?
• 1:34:58
  Yeah, so this is a, we're actually going to start looking
• 1:35:00
  at next few plays are going to be kind of highlighting some of
• 1:35:02
  the good plays from some sort of, from some of the newcomers
• 1:35:06
  here. So, first play here, shotgun why
• 1:35:08
  off trips, right? You're looking at a RPO kind of
• 1:35:12
  three steps. Slant, we're going drones to
• 1:35:15
  felled in very tight coverage by Dorian.
• 1:35:18
  Wrong here, just a solid play and something like Sheldon said
• 1:35:21
  that we didn't see a lot under the previous regime or really a
• 1:35:24
  whole lot last year kind of. So I'll let it run first and
• 1:35:28
  then we'll look at it more. I'm by 18 is a freshman y'all.
• 1:35:38
  That's all I'm saying. Yeah.
• 1:35:42
  And that is hitting up in my mouth and felt as a big dude.
• 1:35:47
  That's all that's a whole lot of man coming at wide.
• 1:35:49
  Receiver there, you know, priest a PC.
• 1:35:52
  We got a bit, we got a heavy box here.
• 1:35:55
  So this is going to be pretty much a default pass play.
• 1:35:58
  All the way based on the Moorhead rules.
• 1:36:01
  They're very accurate, throw in tight coverage from drones here
• 1:36:06
  and also probably some of the best protection.
• 1:36:07
  He'd gotten to that point. I was just about to say that
• 1:36:09
  Brian light again. Drawings did not Have a good
• 1:36:13
  day, so I'm not advocating for him on that.
• 1:36:14
  But his, his pocket was so nasty, the whole game.
• 1:36:20
  This was one of the cleaner Pockets that he had and you can
• 1:36:25
  see he has some skill being able to deliver that ball in tight
• 1:36:29
  coverage. Well his best plays are
• 1:36:31
  play-action three-step drops which tells me that he's working
• 1:36:35
  on influencing the linebackers and getting the ball in his
• 1:36:38
  hands quick because he did not have time to get a five-step
• 1:36:41
  drop in there and sit in the van.
• 1:36:42
  Pocket. But again, this is probably the
• 1:36:45
  best that line looked again. You get some run action, they're
• 1:36:48
  actually good job of the was at the guard, over here, pulling
• 1:36:52
  peeling off and picking up number 41 there to kind of
• 1:36:56
  finish things off. And again, that's a good ball in
• 1:37:01
  very tight coverage by strong, strong, strong strong hands by
• 1:37:09
  Felton to pull it in and then, you know, finishes the Run by
• 1:37:12
  running through the safety. That's another two yards.
• 1:37:16
  You have to eat you. You know you would be stopped,
• 1:37:20
  that makes a difference in a game when you're falling
• 1:37:22
  forward. And like I felt I think Feldman
• 1:37:27
  as far as the newcomers probably had the best game from a wide
• 1:37:31
  receiver standpoint. So he went out there and kind of
• 1:37:34
  hung his nuts a little bit, especially as that for a second
• 1:37:37
  quarter ran down. He had some some good run there
• 1:37:42
  again. I like the concept again, we're
• 1:37:44
  looking at more RPO we've seen, you know, a lot of our po
• 1:37:47
  elements in the in this little short, short number Clips, we
• 1:37:51
  looked at so far. So another thing to highlight is
• 1:37:54
  Is that? You got to be a lot of wide
• 1:37:57
  receivers, do not want to go over the middle.
• 1:37:59
  We've had a lot of Dan Roberts, he was like, we loved Trey.
• 1:38:04
  Trey was very thin, you know, when he was a wide receiver here
• 1:38:07
  in last year, just was what it was.
• 1:38:09
  But to have a wide receiver that can go over the middle and get
• 1:38:12
  some catches there is going to be big for us because that's a
• 1:38:15
  possession. Pie plate.
• 1:38:18
  Yep. And the next we got here, we
• 1:38:20
  got, we got shotgun spread Flex, right?
• 1:38:25
  This is just going to be a swing pass.
• 1:38:28
  And what I like here is something we didn't see last
• 1:38:30
  year, hopefully we see Wells improve on this but this is a
• 1:38:32
  good good example of drones. Having some really good touch on
• 1:38:36
  a ball some of those short routes I love the way he gives
• 1:38:41
  Thomas not a great opportunity to get up field and get some
• 1:38:44
  good yardage on this. So I'll run it through and we
• 1:38:46
  can watch it. Nice touch.
• 1:38:51
  Pretty good blocking up there on the outside.
• 1:38:53
  Yep. Yep.
• 1:38:55
  Least giving him somewhere to go.
• 1:38:57
  Yeah. He had a fair to put a good
• 1:38:59
  touch on that path because of the pressure on that side.
• 1:39:02
  Yep. So you got pressure coming off
• 1:39:04
  the edge, good pickup. Well, good pickup by one player
• 1:39:08
  on the right there but not a great pick by.
• 1:39:12
  So here's what it looks like to me.
• 1:39:15
  The Freshman talk about how was getting downright a, how is your
• 1:39:17
  true freshman just completely with and so some happen because
• 1:39:23
  good knobs acting like you got a fan call and nobody else is
• 1:39:26
  Fanning so good moms. He's kicking out to get the the
• 1:39:31
  Blitzer but he just lets the let's the Dow man just run by
• 1:39:36
  Free Run. To the quarterback.
• 1:39:37
  Why did a quarterback but give? But again, look at drone in his
• 1:39:42
  face he doesn't fire it, touches it.
• 1:39:45
  Yeah. Get the ball.
• 1:39:46
  Yeah, I mean back to run, definitely show some Poise there
• 1:39:50
  to kind of get a good ball on there and doesn't break put
• 1:39:55
  enough arc on it to where the the Blitzer can't kind of jump
• 1:39:58
  up and get his hands on it. What's it right?
• 1:40:01
  Where it needs to be for Thomas to catch and run.
• 1:40:03
  I mean a whole lot to like about that play, even though it's only
• 1:40:07
  basically, you know, nine-yard gain their 9, 10 yard gain.
• 1:40:10
  But I mean, it's moving the sticks and giving us another
• 1:40:14
  opportunity to to put some points on the board.
• 1:40:16
  So, Yeah. Blocking by self do we need?
• 1:40:20
  We need more of that this year because I don't ya I have a
• 1:40:25
  feeling just looking at Belton. I think felt them likes to
• 1:40:28
  block. I mean seriously watching that
• 1:40:31
  like it looked like he enjoyed it there's nobody he's got the
• 1:40:37
  body for it sometimes that's it. This is one of my, the next one
• 1:40:43
  is just one of my favorite passes by drones because there
• 1:40:46
  ain't many people can do this shit right.
• 1:40:48
  Here. Yeah, and this is a big one.
• 1:40:50
  So we got this play here. Shotgun doubles Wing tight,
• 1:40:54
  right? The play is going to be a mesh
• 1:40:56
  running back wheel. And you're going to see drones
• 1:41:01
  get the ball to Coney in a very tight window for a big game.
• 1:41:05
  So I'll let it run first and then we'll look at it again.
• 1:41:11
  The back at up. I like, I like County.
• 1:41:15
  It's still doing some, I mean, the staff likes him too.
• 1:41:18
  And True freshman, true freshman.
• 1:41:24
  Yeah, hadn't even seen the water.
• 1:41:26
  Let's look at the protection. Let's look at the protection of
• 1:41:29
  your debt. Decent protection, decent
• 1:41:31
  protection. You'll see the mesh here, it'll
• 1:41:34
  be if you're either throwing the wheel or you're throwing to
• 1:41:38
  Jennings kind of on the shallow cross here.
• 1:41:40
  That's going to be your one and two reads.
• 1:41:42
  So Read one had a, he had a good window.
• 1:41:45
  It was going to be tight, but he had if they're delivered a solid
• 1:41:48
  ball. Gets it there just in time for
• 1:41:52
  Cody to bring the tackle and make a good run.
• 1:41:57
  I just love it. Throw Yeah, it just asked
• 1:42:01
  question, Brian. Yeah.
• 1:42:05
  So how would you assess the depth or the angle of the route
• 1:42:10
  that he took? Because I feel like if that
• 1:42:11
  linebacker did its homework and maybe do the play was coming or
• 1:42:14
  if he was just a bit faster. That could potentially be a Pick
• 1:42:16
  6. Yeah, so I think based on where
• 1:42:22
  the backer was, that's, that's a very tight throw to make.
• 1:42:26
  I think if you had a backer that had more knowledge and ability
• 1:42:31
  there, that's a dangerous. Third of make, I think,
• 1:42:36
  situationally it's not that it's not a bad decision, but it's one
• 1:42:41
  of those that could be either a catch for you or an incompletion
• 1:42:44
  given what what, the linebackers showing right here.
• 1:42:47
  But yeah. A more confident linebacker
• 1:42:49
  would have been able to make a make a play here, right?
• 1:42:55
  But on the other side of that, I'm more confident linebacker
• 1:43:00
  might have tried to jump it and they don't get a handle call me.
• 1:43:04
  Because this would have been a bigger even a bigger run if I
• 1:43:07
  don't know, that's a no, that's a walk-on.
• 1:43:11
  I'm pretty sure it is get a number.
• 1:43:14
  Then when you run to play, That's George balance.
• 1:43:23
  Hey, all right, so, but but my point is just flips, out, your
• 1:43:30
  right Sheldon. Somebody couldn't do that to a
• 1:43:32
  Pick 6, but if they don't make it balance, goes to the player,
• 1:43:38
  not the ball, he's not thinking about the pick it.
• 1:43:41
  What he does is he gets that hand on him.
• 1:43:43
  Just for a second, too. Slow kony's momentum.
• 1:43:46
  He doesn't do that. He tries to go for the ball and
• 1:43:49
  he gets in there. That free safety, right?
• 1:43:55
  Funny. Go at your curse of the free
• 1:43:56
  safety. This turns out to a big game
• 1:44:02
  because a huge gain anyway. But you imagine that shot the
• 1:44:05
  restaurants from the writers carrying.
• 1:44:07
  Pretty much everybody but balance to the middle of the
• 1:44:10
  field. Yeah. 35 comes over makes the
• 1:44:13
  tackle but what I'm saying is he slowed his momentum down.
• 1:44:17
  Yeah, it's a foot race if he doesn't hit him.
• 1:44:22
  Yeah, but I definitely agree with Sean's point.
• 1:44:24
  I mean, there are a lot of linebackers that could make that
• 1:44:27
  play. Oh yeah. 1000%.
• 1:44:31
  Yeah, what's the next one? And you know let's look at this
• 1:44:37
  before we move on to the next one real quick.
• 1:44:39
  You know, he's got Jennings if he wants Jennings, so it me if
• 1:44:42
  this is if this is a linebacker that's more capable.
• 1:44:46
  You know, the play is still a good play call because the
• 1:44:48
  concept you're still having Jennings coming free underneath
• 1:44:53
  here on the, on the cross. So you're still getting, he's
• 1:44:57
  probably gonna catch it right there at the hash, he's going to
• 1:44:59
  get 78 yards on that. All right.
• 1:45:15
  Next play is a fun when we get to see our buddy pot Watson.
• 1:45:28
  This is a touchdown throw. This is the this is the big
• 1:45:30
  touchdown. So we get on this one.
• 1:45:33
  It's a shotgun double-doubles Wing.
• 1:45:35
  We got a bubble, go route concept here.
• 1:45:39
  It's going to be pop. Pop taking a deep shot to
• 1:45:42
  Tucker. Holloway out there at the top.
• 1:45:47
  And I'll let it run through here.
• 1:45:54
  You kind of That Swing Swing action influence the defense.
• 1:46:00
  Tucker with the one-on-one pizzas, man, I wish we could see
• 1:46:05
  up top are what happened to y'all remember?
• 1:46:09
  Was it a slip? Was it just you got turned
• 1:46:12
  around a little bit in the top when he's, when he's spending
• 1:46:14
  his hips. He got got a little loose and
• 1:46:16
  lost Tucker. Okay.
• 1:46:23
  And I mean this is another, you know I mean my hello holding
• 1:46:26
  that too who's that up? At top 75?
• 1:46:31
  Yeah, I'll bet it'll hold a baby.
• 1:46:34
  Yeah, she killed a little bit here.
• 1:46:37
  I think they let this one go. I think they let this one go.
• 1:46:41
  He was a little slow getting across really took a bad angle
• 1:46:44
  if we're being honest. Yeah he needs.
• 1:46:46
  He needs to be flattered with that.
• 1:46:48
  He comes too far afield. Yeah. but I mean, this is one
• 1:46:59
  that The go wasn't the primary. This this is supposed to be a
• 1:47:03
  swing kind of all the way you can tell by what the the other
• 1:47:06
  receivers are doing. So the swing is actually the
• 1:47:10
  primary here. See him, look at the swing, see
• 1:47:13
  it's not there. See where his eyes went and he
• 1:47:17
  threw off his back foot because you know shit didn't do a great
• 1:47:20
  job of getting across their but hard to argue with the 40 yard
• 1:47:25
  score, right? All right, we're going to get
• 1:47:37
  one here. That's our other.
• 1:47:43
  True freshman quarterback. Curtis left us?
• 1:47:47
  He ran away. Ian Curtis what you doing?
• 1:47:58
  Maybe had to be it. Knowing Curtis that that's
• 1:48:03
  that's happened. Yes, that happened right there.
• 1:48:07
  Well, Sheldon gets the, the point there.
• 1:48:11
  Shell gets the point. All right, so we got this one
• 1:48:13
  formation. We got shotgun spread.
• 1:48:16
  Y, could be a go ahead. I will say it to the place that
• 1:48:19
  can be a go X curl and Whiskey's, gonna take a deep
• 1:48:23
  ball shot to sudden that we should have had a touchdown on
• 1:48:26
  here, on third and 13. I'll let it run.
• 1:48:30
  Well, you get it on the screen. First that make were added in
• 1:48:33
  that way. Here we go.
• 1:48:46
  Oh, that hurts your heart hurts, your heart.
• 1:48:52
  All right, so let's talk about this.
• 1:48:54
  We got stunts on both sides of the, the defensive line here,
• 1:48:58
  and the offensive line just watches them happen and does
• 1:49:00
  absolutely nothing. So we can, we can watch that
• 1:49:05
  real quick. We got stunts stunts.
• 1:49:07
  Start start and we're just going to watch.
• 1:49:11
  Guys are just like what's going on here?
• 1:49:14
  Why are four guys surrounding? Yeah, let's not do that.
• 1:49:21
  We should do that. That should be happening back
• 1:49:25
  there. Don't get the Freshman killed
• 1:49:27
  for God's sake. I mean with this is a good ball
• 1:49:30
  with three guys. Bearing down on him go what's it
• 1:49:34
  puts it right on his hands in the end zone.
• 1:49:36
  I mean the only thing. The thing I like to see from him
• 1:49:39
  is that based on where Sons running this route, I'd like to
• 1:49:42
  see the ball delivered right on the hash instead of back inside
• 1:49:45
  about back outside of it because it gives the receiver a chance
• 1:49:49
  to run through it instead of having to bend back and makes
• 1:49:52
  the catch a little bit harder. But I mean, that's really the
• 1:49:55
  only thing other than not, not catching it.
• 1:49:58
  That I would critique there. But you got, you got to bring
• 1:50:01
  that in its on your hands. Yeah, here's what I'm gonna say
• 1:50:05
  in y'all getting your viewpoints on this, Watching this tape
• 1:50:09
  watching the concepts watching things that they want done.
• 1:50:14
  It feels Leaps and Bounds. It feels Leaps and Bounds of
• 1:50:19
  where we were a year ago. It feels competent.
• 1:50:23
  It feels like feels like we look like we know what we're doing.
• 1:50:26
  There you go. Like even when we're not
• 1:50:28
  executing it looks like we know what we're doing.
• 1:50:31
  And then that makes sense that we've said on here and I think
• 1:50:38
  all of us in some way of said it is okay.
• 1:50:41
  Yeah. Tyler bones, never coached
• 1:50:42
  quarterbacks for, this is Tyler bowling system that basically
• 1:50:47
  what almost nine years. He's this has been his system,
• 1:50:52
  right? And this is a truly his baby
• 1:50:54
  this year versus last year. Where I feel like there was kind
• 1:50:57
  of too many cooks in the kitchen you know you had some of what
• 1:51:01
  Glenn wanted to do kind of sprinkled in there in the past
• 1:51:03
  game. You had someone what Rudolph
• 1:51:05
  wanted to do sprinkled in the Run game.
• 1:51:07
  This is truly Tyler bones baby this year and you can actually
• 1:51:12
  see his handprints and fingerprints and everything on.
• 1:51:16
  On this offense and I don't feel like we saw as much cohesive
• 1:51:20
  identity. Last year we saw, we saw pieces
• 1:51:23
  here and there, but we didn't see a cohesive identity.
• 1:51:25
  I saw more than the spring game than any point on offense last
• 1:51:28
  year. All right?
• 1:51:30
  What's this LeBron? All right.
• 1:51:32
  So this one here, we got a shotgun.
• 1:51:35
  Why off trips, right? It's going to be an X cross Z
• 1:51:38
  come back. And drones is gonna throw off
• 1:51:43
  his back foot incomplete. So this is one where, you know,
• 1:51:48
  will be a little bit little bit hard on drones, but this is also
• 1:51:51
  a little bit on the offensive line 2.
• 1:52:00
  And let's run it back here. Drones is going to get a little
• 1:52:04
  bit of pressure here in his face at the last minute.
• 1:52:07
  Can't step up. That's a long throw.
• 1:52:11
  That is a long throat. Yep.
• 1:52:13
  It's a long throw that you're not taking a full step in.
• 1:52:16
  To look at it, takes like a half step into it, as he's releasing
• 1:52:19
  this. I'm taking a fool.
• 1:52:21
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's trying to bend it around
• 1:52:24
  the defender while taking only a half step into it.
• 1:52:29
  Not the throw you want to make there, but it's a safe throw.
• 1:52:32
  I mean, it's not a throw that's going to, you know, create a
• 1:52:34
  turnover. So gets it.
• 1:52:37
  And the other thing here is that he really has his pick here
• 1:52:40
  because Jennings is running wide.
• 1:52:42
  The fuck open to that's his second.
• 1:52:45
  Read here, wide open. I think the hand goes up as he
• 1:52:50
  throws the ball. Yep.
• 1:52:54
  Hand in hand with up here and I mean both are probably get about
• 1:53:01
  the same amount of yardage depending on the catch there and
• 1:53:05
  in depending on whether 40 can get to get to Jennings whether
• 1:53:11
  Jennings has the angle or not. But I mean this is one where the
• 1:53:15
  you see the concepts concepts are good.
• 1:53:17
  It's there. Just got to execute better on
• 1:53:20
  the offensive line and you got to be able to make that throw.
• 1:53:22
  It's a hard throw to make but when you that open, you got to
• 1:53:26
  be able to get it there. Yeah, I saw I saw Bo and called
• 1:53:30
  a play against ODU. Is that is that zone coverage?
• 1:53:33
  Brian. Yes, it was.
• 1:53:37
  Okay. Yeah cuz I saw the linebacker
• 1:53:38
  kind of pass off the krauser to the next guy over so there's
• 1:53:42
  obviously miscommunication there but that's a good Zone beating
• 1:53:44
  play. Exactly.
• 1:53:46
  Exactly crossers are great for that.
• 1:53:50
  All right. So let me pull up the next one
• 1:53:52
  here. We got four more.
• 1:54:03
  Well, the next one is our pivot. As I prepare, this is our pivot.
• 1:54:08
  Yeah, we're looking. This is kind of the last one for
• 1:54:12
  the newcomers and then we're going to kind of pivot into the
• 1:54:14
  defensive defensive highlights here.
• 1:54:19
  You know, setting this up. I'll go ahead and share it here.
• 1:54:23
  We've got a shotgun doubles Wing.
• 1:54:27
  It's going to be a split Zone, RPO slant and drones is going to
• 1:54:32
  try to get it to Jennings. It's going to be a little bit of
• 1:54:34
  a tighter window than he expected.
• 1:54:36
  There's going to be a little Bobble.
• 1:54:37
  It Let it run through here first.
• 1:54:48
  All right, so this is one of those where, you know, we talked
• 1:54:51
  about the rules earlier. This is one where the rules kind
• 1:54:54
  of, unfortunately, put you in a bad spot.
• 1:54:57
  All right, so pre-snap, look at this box.
• 1:55:01
  You're our po routes over here. You got Defenders across the
• 1:55:06
  board, your read man's here. Based on those, you should say,
• 1:55:10
  all right, we're throwing this. What we get though is we get the
• 1:55:16
  safety rolling up into the in replacing that backer Zone.
• 1:55:21
  We've got a little Zone blitz. So what happens here, is that
• 1:55:24
  now You're throwing a slant right into where the safety is
• 1:55:28
  creeping into that zone. So the window got significantly
• 1:55:31
  tighter than what you anticipated, but the throw is
• 1:55:35
  made, throw a still made if slightly behind, probably a
• 1:55:40
  little bit earlier than you would want to make that throw
• 1:55:42
  normally, but catchable, but guess what?
• 1:55:46
  Catchable, but catchable, you get a little, you have a Bible
• 1:55:48
  here, doesn't quite Pull It in, doesn't secure it and then you
• 1:55:52
  get Phillips. You get most Phillips coming in
• 1:55:58
  there and true freshman gets his his first interception as a
• 1:56:02
  hokie. So bright, I love me.
• 1:56:04
  And you talked about this one me and Brian looked at this one.
• 1:56:07
  Sorry, tally was one of those days you could hop on with as we
• 1:56:10
  looked at this one in depth. And the reason I love this play
• 1:56:13
  from both sides is a the play call on defense is really good.
• 1:56:19
  It takes it away, but the throw by drones I mean that's on the
• 1:56:26
  money. It's still a good route ran by
• 1:56:28
  Jennings even though he kind of coughed it up.
• 1:56:31
  But the bigger part on this is Phillips at true freshman.
• 1:56:34
  And this is where it goes when we're kind of lean to the
• 1:56:36
  defense. He starts going that way.
• 1:56:39
  He doesn't stop. He doesn't stop that ball is
• 1:56:44
  tipped. He doesn't stop right here, he's
• 1:56:47
  going and he gets his pick. How many times do you see it in
• 1:56:51
  games? Where guys, stop the ball
• 1:56:52
  histogram? And they're like, oh what I do
• 1:56:55
  you stop That's why. We kept going and also you
• 1:57:01
  immediately look to get up field and I think I don't know what
• 1:57:07
  the latter part of the Fuente. Dbe's it seemed like they got an
• 1:57:10
  interception and then know what the fuck to do, right?
• 1:57:14
  He knew he needed to get a feel, get some yards, I like that, I
• 1:57:18
  like that and then he sees hey I'm trapped in here.
• 1:57:21
  Let's get out of bounds. Let's get a nice little late,
• 1:57:24
  hit there. I respect a little blindsided.
• 1:57:29
  I mean, I'm headhunting if there's a pic so I as I get it
• 1:57:33
  that's what I want to do now as an offensive lineman I did.
• 1:57:36
  I did not like those those those shots that you get a little ear
• 1:57:40
  hole shot, you definitely feel that for a little bit.
• 1:57:47
  All right, so first primarily defensive play here, we had a
• 1:57:52
  couple that are kind of the bigger place here, and then we
• 1:57:54
  got one that is a little more nuanced.
• 1:57:57
  So that's kind of the middle one here, that will sandwich at
• 1:58:01
  three levels. We've going on two hours, only
• 1:58:04
  few more minutes to wrap up tonight.
• 1:58:06
  Yeah yeah we're good, we're good.
• 1:58:09
  All right, so we're going to get this in here.
• 1:58:15
  This is place 17. We got shotgun doubles Wing
• 1:58:18
  tight, right? It's going to be a Sprint slot,
• 1:58:20
  cross play action and we're going to see strowman make an
• 1:58:25
  absolutely incredible instinctual play here.
• 1:58:41
  Trauma covered some ground on the plate.
• 1:58:47
  Stroman said, 40 is not going to make this.
• 1:58:50
  I got to make this Because strohman is playing in the Deep.
• 1:58:57
  He's playing middle deep. He's playing that cover one.
• 1:59:01
  He recognizes 40 angle and get to Jennings.
• 1:59:05
  So he gets to Jennings. Yeah.
• 1:59:11
  That's just incredible individual effort and also
• 1:59:15
  incredible instincts to kind of recognize what's there.
• 1:59:18
  And what you need to do to get a play.
• 1:59:21
  I mean that's something that turns into you know, potentially
• 1:59:24
  a touchdown but definitely a first down and goal for white
• 1:59:29
  and all of a sudden you get the ball back, right?
• 1:59:34
  Canteen right, place, right time.
• 1:59:36
  Katie right, place right time canteen in good coverage, on
• 1:59:40
  Felton, on the top there, you know, to, you know, to kind of
• 1:59:44
  piggyback on that good coverage, good, good placement there and
• 1:59:48
  because he's in good coverage and good place when he's there
• 1:59:50
  for the pick. Let me get these pick.
• 1:59:53
  They trying to get some trying to get get gone with it.
• 1:59:57
  They don't think they turning and running man.
• 1:59:59
  They're turning the running Turn and Burn the Cheetahs, the
• 2:00:05
  Cheetahs. I like it.
• 2:00:06
  They shape as you said that they get that.
• 2:00:10
  They get that prey in their mouth.
• 2:00:11
  They going I like it. I this is the one that this is
• 2:00:16
  the one that you said is a little more nuanced so that you
• 2:00:18
  get a little more new and this is something that I'm glad to
• 2:00:21
  see from a guy that we've I feel like we need to see it from.
• 2:00:25
  All right, so the play we got a shotgun doubles Wings tight
• 2:00:28
  left. It's going to be a split Zone.
• 2:00:31
  Play action Sprint, X cross and we're going to see just a
• 2:00:37
  standard incomplete pass, but I want you to watch Keller.
• 2:00:40
  Where is he on this? Well first, you see there?
• 2:00:44
  Okay, yeah, all right. So this and this is, this is a
• 2:00:51
  linebackers are in zone. Here is just to give you a
• 2:00:53
  little heads-up. So watch the play.
• 2:01:00
  This is just a little thing. It's not a big thing.
• 2:01:02
  That's a little thing. So you got the split Zone Titans
• 2:01:09
  coming across. He's not blocking though, he's
• 2:01:11
  going down the route. He see Keller's kind of pressing
• 2:01:16
  that a little bit. Watch him, pass this off and
• 2:01:19
  give some depth right there. And he does just enough to make
• 2:01:24
  that window a lot tighter. For that throw where he's got a
• 2:01:29
  sale at high instead of throwing it out in front, right?
• 2:01:33
  Al Jennings. Is it what if drones can deliver
• 2:01:36
  that out in front? It's the egg could be a complete
• 2:01:40
  pass. You know, it's still good
• 2:01:42
  coverage but you put it in a spot where it's easier to catch
• 2:01:45
  you throw it high and little bit in, you know, now it's
• 2:01:48
  incomplete pass. So that's just a little bit
• 2:01:52
  little Nuance. There showing how a guy that has
• 2:01:56
  shown athletic ability but didn't always pick up the
• 2:02:00
  concept of the defense as well as they would like to last year.
• 2:02:04
  That's showing growth by Keller there.
• 2:02:06
  So I like that, I wanted to kind of highlight that a little bit
• 2:02:09
  nice. And last one here, guys.
• 2:02:15
  Let's go. Before we wrap it up tonight.
• 2:02:17
  Yes sir! Yes, sir.
• 2:02:19
  This is from somebody who did not go to the portal.
• 2:02:24
  One of our young ends here is tobacco's.
• 2:02:28
  Yes, sir! Yes, sir.
• 2:02:29
  So we got shotgun. Why off trips, right?
• 2:02:33
  This is going to be a Duo RP. Slant.
• 2:02:36
  And you're going to see Burgos on a stunt, doesn't get home
• 2:02:41
  stays in the play, gets a tip forces of interception.
• 2:02:48
  I know that happened quick somewhere, run that back pretty
• 2:02:50
  slow here for you. We do not have it on screen yet.
• 2:02:59
  There we go. The burgers is outside.
• 2:03:10
  He stunting inside here. Can't get that.
• 2:03:16
  Get your hands up. The can't get their gets kind of
• 2:03:19
  called The Wash but sees the past gets his hand up, little
• 2:03:24
  tip that slows it down. Just enough.
• 2:03:27
  Looks like I mean that could have been incomplete.
• 2:03:29
  Could have been a Could have been a complete pass to Felton.
• 2:03:32
  They're coming across, but because of the tip slows in the
• 2:03:35
  traffic there and we got Mi Atlas getting an easy pick here.
• 2:03:40
  He's playing underneath of that slant because he's got help over
• 2:03:44
  the top. So as Felton breaks inside, he's
• 2:03:47
  kind of playing underneath that and right place, right time for
• 2:03:51
  that tip. Shout out our va's old deeper on
• 2:03:54
  our school miles. But that's all ladies and
• 2:04:00
  gentlemen, that's our 19 play, spring game breakdown, kind of
• 2:04:05
  going through some, some new faces, some wells, improvements
• 2:04:09
  scheme things, and a little bit of Defense.
• 2:04:12
  All right. Y'all know, let's just do a
• 2:04:15
  quick round brown. You've looked at it.
• 2:04:17
  What will get your opinion last here Sheldon?
• 2:04:19
  Just looking at this tape and just seeing some of the stuff
• 2:04:22
  more in-depth, Brian y'all brined.
• 2:04:26
  It also on this, he gave us some great notes to look at to as we
• 2:04:28
  were reviewing these things, kudos to him.
• 2:04:33
  What's the one thing? You feel good about going into
• 2:04:35
  the season now seeing this. Definitely the skill players.
• 2:04:40
  I mean, look at guys know, Holloway felt obviously
• 2:05:08
  She said you know, your place is one thing, but you got to get
• 2:05:11
  those those consistent, you know, employers Rican, you know,
• 2:05:14
  keypad this text from, don't stop on this fixed because that
• 2:05:17
  was a big issue last year. I think overall just the the the
• 2:05:21
  levels. And it's much better than last
• 2:05:23
  year. Tally.
• 2:05:27
  You have some of the to watch out and say it, man.
• 2:05:29
  It's kind of like, what I hit on earlier, just the wide receivers
• 2:05:34
  in the skill, Mike skill positions.
• 2:05:36
  I mean, we have a lot of different type past catches, you
• 2:05:41
  know. Some people do not afraid to go
• 2:05:43
  across the middle, some tight ends that can get some
• 2:05:46
  separations and tight ends. That can block some big
• 2:05:49
  receivers that can be possession.
• 2:05:50
  Receiver. So watching this, you kind of
• 2:05:52
  seen all that stuff on display and it's exciting.
• 2:05:56
  Yep. I'm with y'all on that, but I'm
• 2:05:58
  with its these guys going into the scheme, we're getting them
• 2:06:01
  into if there's going to be Creations where you saw that
• 2:06:05
  where that drag were Jennings of them a couple times those digs
• 2:06:08
  where it's boiling spaces, where throws can be made and when you
• 2:06:12
  break it down, like Brian did for us tonight and if you're
• 2:06:15
  listening to this on the podcast, I should have did this
• 2:06:17
  at the beginning. You got to go to YouTube, you
• 2:06:20
  gotta sync it up with YouTube if you're listening on the podcast
• 2:06:22
  to see the plays, But you see the manipulation the
• 2:06:28
  manipulation of how if these guys are coming up and making
• 2:06:31
  these easy throws, eventually you pop a couple of Slants a
• 2:06:35
  couple digs. They're going to start backing
• 2:06:37
  off right? And we think with tooting and
• 2:06:40
  Thomas I think we get to run game going from that Ron.
• 2:06:45
  What do you want to wrap it up with here for we call it?
• 2:06:49
  Yeah, the big thing for me just like you said the scheme is
• 2:06:51
  standing out because if you know if you're not using the The
• 2:06:55
  talent that you have, again, I'm glad that we're ratcheting up
• 2:06:58
  the town in the skill position. But if you're not going to get
• 2:07:00
  those guys, the ball in spaces where they can make plays, then
• 2:07:03
  you're still going to be a struggle.
• 2:07:04
  So I like to see the scheme is coming hand-in-hand with the
• 2:07:08
  ratchet up in in skill level and I think that's going to pay big
• 2:07:13
  dividends because, you know, we're already seeing some
• 2:07:16
  improvement without a full complement with the split
• 2:07:19
  roster, compared to what we saw last year.
• 2:07:23
  You know, we get we get a full Pomona First teamers out there
• 2:07:27
  and really kind of let some of the guys that had to sit for the
• 2:07:31
  spring game. Get out there and show what they
• 2:07:33
  can do. I feel like we got weapons all
• 2:07:35
  over the place now but with Benji coming on.
• 2:07:39
  We saw some good things from him to Spring Game.
• 2:07:42
  You know, you got right? That didn't even play.
• 2:07:44
  Yeah, laying the gameplay. I mean, you know, we got, we got
• 2:07:48
  skill guys that didn't even play.
• 2:07:50
  That are one of them being a big part of last year's offense.
• 2:07:53
  Comparatively Yeah and we saw we saw that much improvement.
• 2:07:57
  And like I said, I think the big thing is the scheme and not just
• 2:08:01
  like I was talking about with you seeing some new elements but
• 2:08:05
  also again it being cohesive. I feel like last year again it
• 2:08:10
  was a it was a mixed bag. There were pieces there, but
• 2:08:13
  nothing really fit together. I feel like we saw schemes that
• 2:08:17
  fit together and they were attacking the defense in a way
• 2:08:20
  that made sense in the way that put them in Conflict.
• 2:08:23
  Consistently That's always a key.
• 2:08:26
  Put them in Conflict, consistently.
• 2:08:28
  And with that being said, we go over two hours tonight.
• 2:08:32
