  Main Street Pharmacy in Blacksburg, your friendly
• 1:00
  neighborhood pharmacy Three O 1 S Main St., Blacksburg, VA
• 1:08
  fellas. What is going on, man?
• 1:12
  We back. We back.
• 1:14
  We getting we entering closer and closer.
• 1:17
  We we back, we back to do this every week.
• 1:20
  So that's how you know, we're we're about to punch it because
• 1:25
  when we go in every week, you know, we got content coming in,
• 1:28
  you know, we got games about to happen.
• 1:30
  You know that things are about to get real for the Hokies.
• 1:34
  Yeah, I agree. I mean, you just ready, man?
• 1:38
  I mean, I think we got some football, you know, this weekend
• 1:41
  and I got some high school games to go to, some middle school
• 1:44
  games to go to. So it it it's wide open, man.
• 1:49
  It's wide open. And and that's what you want.
• 1:52
  Best time of year? It's 100% on that tally, man.
• 1:55
  It's it's games going everywhere.
• 1:58
  You driving by schools now, you seeing the kids out there
• 2:00
  practicing. We get more and more news from
• 2:04
  every single pundit in the college football world.
• 2:08
  We're seeing more interviews, Andy Better, David Cunningham,
• 2:12
  all the guys that take sideline and the writers down in Roanoke
• 2:15
  at practice, seeing the stuff every day.
• 2:19
  It's it's tough to hold down because it is officially week
• 2:22
  zero. We got game, like you said,
• 2:24
  Tally, we got games this weekend that, that one Saturday
• 2:29
  afternoon. I'm, I'm hoping I know Brian's
• 2:31
  not going to be at home. I'm going to try to get in front
• 2:34
  of the TV and watch that game because I want to see what
• 2:36
  Georgia Tech looks like and, you know, and SMU later that night.
• 2:41
  Like, because although we don't play SMU this year, they're
• 2:45
  members of the ACC. They're going to be playing
• 2:46
  teams we are playing right. Yeah, and they, and, and those
• 2:49
  are two teams that people are kind of high on, or three teams,
• 2:53
  you know, Georgia Tech, some people got Georgia Tech as a
• 2:56
  pretty good team. Maybe one of our losses, you
• 2:58
  know, again, some people and Florida State's always good in
• 3:04
  the ACC as long as they're here, you know, till they leave, I
• 3:07
  guess. And then like you said, SMU,
• 3:10
  man, a lot of people are talking about SMU is a is a dark horse
• 3:15
  team this year. So it'll be good.
• 3:17
  Good week zero man, Great week 0.
• 3:20
  Yeah, I mean, it's it's one of those you got, you got some good
• 3:22
  matchups like you got to see, all right, so you got Georgia
• 3:25
  Tech, Are they a team on the rise?
• 3:27
  It's Florida State. Have they retooled the way
• 3:30
  everybody thinks they have? And and like you said, some of
• 3:34
  some of those unknown anomalies from an ACC conversation as far
• 3:37
  as SMUI mean, it's not a, it's not a matchup that's going to I
• 3:40
  think test them, but it is their kind of intro into being AACC
• 3:45
  conference team. We get to see them a little bit.
• 3:47
  And I'm looking forward to that team in particular seeing how
• 3:50
  they kind of move forward once they get into conference.
• 3:53
  Play 100% and we are actually at the end of the telecast tonight.
• 3:57
  We are going to pick those. It is our big screeners games of
• 4:00
  the week. We only got 2 to pick from so we
• 4:02
  didn't have to scurry up and down the the lineup card to
• 4:05
  decide what we're going to do later this evening.
• 4:08
  Also, we are going to go through the schedule and we are going to
• 4:12
  make our predictions of the Hokies season record.
• 4:15
  We're going to break it down. If you didn't join us last year,
• 4:17
  we're going to break it down four games at a time and kind of
• 4:21
  get to the end there kind of a little bit knowing the enemy,
• 4:24
  how we're feeling about the Hokies playing them.
• 4:27
  And then we're going to look at the position groups earlier
• 4:29
  tonight and it's sort of something if you if this, if
• 4:34
  you're new here, this is the first time because I'm looking
• 4:36
  up in the left corner. We got a lot more people
• 4:37
  watching than we normally have. We appreciate everybody out
• 4:41
  there. Every Tuesday of the season of
• 4:44
  the season, after the Hoagies have played, we do tell the
• 4:47
  truth Tuesday. And basically we recap the game.
• 4:51
  We ask what went well, what went bad, did anything happen we want
• 4:55
  ready for and what can we do better moving forward.
• 4:58
  We're going to do that every week.
• 4:59
  This week we're kind of telling the truth of how we are feeling
• 5:02
  towards each position group on the Hokie stock up, stock down
• 5:06
  or we feeling level. So that's what we got in store
• 5:10
  tonight. But fellas, I want to kick it
• 5:11
  off because out of nowhere recruiting pick back up out of
• 5:15
  the out of nowhere for me. Maybe I ain't been paying
• 5:18
  attention, but when you land a top ten player in the state of
• 5:23
  North Carolina, a top 247 player in Snoop Peterkin, 62172 out of
• 5:28
  Mount Tabor, a wide receiver in Winston Salem like that, that's
• 5:33
  in some ripples. Because Tally, I know you
• 5:36
  followed. Everybody was saying he was
• 5:38
  going to NC State. Oh yeah, I mean, I didn't pay
• 5:41
  attention to him because I thought he was going to NC
• 5:44
  State. What?
• 5:46
  Then you got to realize, man, you got funtail minds on your
• 5:49
  team. You're never out of it.
• 5:52
  So never out of it. And another thing I didn't know
• 5:54
  the kid played basketball as well.
• 5:57
  Yeah, yeah. So that's that's our second dual
• 5:59
  sport athlete in this class. That's pretty cool.
• 6:04
  So Micah Matthews and now Snick Peterton and I mean, this is one
• 6:09
  that I think we made some good, good progress late in the
• 6:13
  process because we, it looked like, like y'all said he was NC
• 6:18
  State bound. And all of a sudden, you know,
• 6:21
  so a couple of visits happened. There's some whizzing.
• 6:23
  It's like, hey, hey, you know, the Hokies are in play here.
• 6:26
  The Hokies are in play here. Next thing you know, you know,
• 6:29
  we we get that commitment and and that's big man, because I
• 6:33
  mean that that's again, Fontell going out there and pretty much
• 6:39
  getting getting the guys that he wants.
• 6:41
  Any anybody that he gets gets really deep into the recruiting
• 6:43
  process with. He seems to be able to pull in.
• 6:46
  And I mean that's a credit to him.
• 6:49
  It it honestly at this point, I mean, you know, I, I hope it
• 6:52
  doesn't have to happen, but you know, you got to make him if if
• 6:57
  you can do it, the highest paid non coordinator assistant in the
• 7:01
  country. It's like the $1,000,000.
• 7:03
  Man, he's pretty. He's pretty close to earning it.
• 7:07
  He's earning it on the field, He's earning it in recruiting,
• 7:10
  so. 100% How do you argue with that?
• 7:12
  I don't know. I know this happened Saturday
• 7:14
  and we're busy. Tally's got his son playing
• 7:16
  football. We're getting ready.
• 7:18
  We we've sent our kids back to school here.
• 7:20
  Did y'all get to see any tape yet on him?
• 7:23
  On. Peter can snook.
• 7:27
  Just go look at the first clip on any of them.
• 7:30
  I mean, I mean, it's been a, I've, I've looked at a couple of
• 7:35
  things, but from the one I've seen, I think it was just huddle
• 7:37
  tape. Go look at the first clip.
• 7:40
  He's running a kickback, he's running a punt back and it's
• 7:44
  stiff on one guy. Get to the end, get to the
• 7:47
  sideline and outrun everybody at 621-701-8170.
• 7:55
  And he played basketball. It's Trey Turner, you know what
• 7:58
  I'm saying? Same kind of body style kind of
• 8:00
  kind of speed from what I've seen and then you get into a
• 8:04
  couple of other clips it's like he's running away from people
• 8:07
  what I and I didn't watch a whole bunch I'm not going to
• 8:09
  lie, but again, it don't take you 2 hours to look at somebody
• 8:13
  and see if they can play ball there you.
• 8:15
  Go. First clip, running a punt back.
• 8:18
  Second clip, somebody threw him a fade and he caught it over his
• 8:23
  outside shoulder. Dove.
• 8:24
  Third clip, another diving catch, this 40 yards. 4th clip,
• 8:29
  runs the kickoff back. That's enough.
• 8:31
  What else do I need to see? And Fontell wants you so.
• 8:36
  And this is this is another kid that seems to be football first
• 8:40
  in, in terms of like, you know, you got basketball, you got
• 8:42
  football, but he seems to be a football first guy.
• 8:45
  You love to see that and I'm excited for him man, because I
• 8:50
  think he is the kind of Trey Turner that do it all type
• 8:53
  receiver, kind of do a little bit of everything for you.
• 8:56
  And I think we kind of, we had another cycle where you got kind
• 8:59
  of a traditional slot guy, you got kind of a red zone thread
• 9:02
  and now you kind of got this, this do it all receiver.
• 9:06
  So we're, we're again stacking bodies and, and, and getting
• 9:09
  them where they make sense in how we're trying to play, play
• 9:14
  offense and what our scheme is, is designed to do and kind of
• 9:18
  mixing up their skill sets a little bit. 100 percent, 100%.
• 9:21
  All right, before we flip it over to the next commitment,
• 9:24
  just a shout out to everybody listening tonight.
• 9:26
  Some of our regulars in here got Thomas out here talking about
• 9:30
  the team. Chris Lester, always good to
• 9:33
  hear from you man. Our Buddy Clark down in Roanoke
• 9:38
  and Mr. Drones. So appreciate you guys as always
• 9:42
  for listening. But let's talk about the next
• 9:45
  gentleman that committed a little bit earlier this week.
• 9:48
  Luke Stewie, a six foot 295 LB athlete, classified as an
• 9:54
  athlete out of Avon Lake. OH, just a three star, little
• 9:59
  bit lower than what we've seen, but background, do a little
• 10:04
  research. His dad Michael was a wide
• 10:07
  receiver. Looked up the stats had like 700
• 10:10
  yards played three seasons back from 94 to 97.
• 10:13
  Obviously if y'all didn't see Dwight shouted out him the other
• 10:18
  day. So obviously he's got that and
• 10:22
  again, it's Ohio. We always, you know, me and
• 10:25
  Brian long for tally join. We always talk about it's like
• 10:27
  if you can get some from Ohio, you get some from Pennsylvania,
• 10:30
  a couple from New Jersey and then a couple from Georgia and
• 10:33
  South Carolina and North Carolina.
• 10:36
  Then you doing shit right because you going to those
• 10:39
  football States and you pulling out.
• 10:41
  Don't care where they ranked now any any how anything on this kid
• 10:46
  yet that y'all seen or read about since we landed him?
• 10:51
  So this seems to be one that outside of the legacy piece,
• 10:55
  which is I think a big part of this, and that's kind of why he
• 10:58
  was on the radar that, you know, they had him into a camp.
• 11:01
  Apparently he really looked really good at the camp.
• 11:04
  And I think a lot of times guys that are in that kind of lower,
• 11:08
  lower three star ranking, you know, they go to a camp, they
• 11:12
  either find a good fit or, or or are able to kind of really go
• 11:15
  there and really stand out in in a particular way.
• 11:18
  That's how a lot of these guys get these offers.
• 11:20
  And I mean that that seems used to be what happened for him.
• 11:24
  Yeah, definitely. I've talked to my son about that
• 11:26
  a lot. And just, you know, sports in
• 11:27
  general, you never know what a coach is 100% looking for.
• 11:31
  You know, I mean, a lot of times they'll tell you, but every now
• 11:35
  and then it's a skill that can't be taught, whether it's high
• 11:38
  point in the ball or whether it's the way you speak, you
• 11:41
  know, whether it's the way you carry yourself and you're a
• 11:44
  leader through drills. It's it's something.
• 11:46
  So it's no telling like what they seen.
• 11:48
  But from what I've seen, I think he plays both sides of the ball.
• 11:52
  Send him on some defense as well.
• 11:54
  Ball skills are pretty good that that wide receiver room is
• 11:58
  packed, man. Like if you want to get on the
• 12:01
  field over there, you're going to have to do some work.
• 12:03
  So I ain't saying that he can't, but I'm just saying with him
• 12:06
  being able to play offense and defense, I mean, that helps him
• 12:10
  out to find a place on the field, you know, and, and again,
• 12:12
  like Brian said, him being a legacy probably is a big piece
• 12:15
  to that, which is good. I like to see stuff like that
• 12:18
  because the worst thing can happen is that somebody loves
• 12:22
  tech and they played at tech. They have a kid, he goes
• 12:28
  somewhere else and then he ends up turning into Steph Curry.
• 12:36
  You just, I'd rather be on the sidelines than be in the
• 12:40
  Olympics. And then we'd be saying, hey, we
• 12:44
  should have. So if somebody is, you know that
• 12:47
  that's that's part of that's part of recruiting, that's part
• 12:49
  of building the culture. So y'all keep doing what you're
• 12:54
  doing. They'll get Lauren Johnson's
• 12:55
  other son to next. The legacy too there.
• 12:58
  We go. Yeah, 100%.
• 12:59
  And looking at him tally, you're right, he does play both sides.
• 13:02
  He's playing a lot of inside slot receiver, but playing like
• 13:05
  a free. Looking at the tape here and
• 13:08
  it's on my left screen, he's playing free and he's playing
• 13:11
  strong. So he's playing inside the box
• 13:13
  and outside the box. And one of them was a pick.
• 13:16
  He he went straight over top of the guy and just took the ball
• 13:19
  from him. I mean, you know, so is what it
• 13:22
  is. So again, two more recruit
• 13:24
  pickups there. Hokies currently 36th rank in
• 13:28
  the country at like 87.8. That creeping back to that 88
• 13:33
  again, even with the 83. And I know some people like
• 13:37
  recruit rings don't mean Jack shit.
• 13:39
  Well, I think we can all tell you look who's makes the play
• 13:42
  offs, look who's always winning 910 games.
• 13:45
  And when we were winning nine and 10 games, those recruiting
• 13:48
  rankings were a little bit higher than everybody thought.
• 13:50
  So it does matter. All right, fellas, kind of the
• 13:55
  two-part of why we are here tonight.
• 13:57
  Let us talk about the hokey position groups and if that
• 14:01
  stock is up, if that stock is down or if it's like this.
• 14:05
  And by all means, if you're out there listening tonight and you
• 14:08
  feel like you got an opinion up or down, throw it in the chat of
• 14:11
  how you feeling. We'll definitely throw it in
• 14:14
  there. So I am going to start, got to
• 14:17
  do this, right. I'm going to start with Brian
• 14:19
  Talley because when I get to the last one, I got to leave with
• 14:22
  him first. That's why.
• 14:23
  No, that's fine with me. You still watching?
• 14:26
  I'm. I'm watching, I'm watching the
• 14:27
  chat, man. I'm watching the chat I need.
• 14:29
  I need to chat to help me out tonight.
• 14:32
  Need to chat to help him out. Need to help all us out.
• 14:34
  All right, but we're going to start.
• 14:36
  Where else will we start? It is going to be the
• 14:38
  quarterback room. And so Mr. Brian Siegler,
• 14:41
  quarterback room stock up, stock down same.
• 14:46
  I mean, it's stock up, man. It's stock way up there.
• 14:49
  There's there's three things that are playing a factor here.
• 14:52
  Number one, you're starting the season with the correct
• 14:56
  quarterback. Unlike last year.
• 14:59
  With the correct quarterback and you're starting the season with
• 15:02
  a quarterback that has started games for you in this system.
• 15:07
  So that that's that's number one.
• 15:09
  Number two, you now have a backup that regardless of who
• 15:15
  wins the job, a backup that I think is a better fit for what
• 15:18
  we're doing already with Kyron drones compared to what Grant
• 15:22
  Wells offered last year. So whether whether that next man
• 15:26
  up is pop, whether that next man up is Colin Schlee, we'll we'll
• 15:29
  know soon as far as who's winning that backup job.
• 15:32
  But whoever that is is going to be a better slot in fit than
• 15:40
  what we had last year. And then #3 is just depth.
• 15:44
  I feel like, you know, we have a lot better situation from a
• 15:48
  depth perspective than we had last year because of a lot of
• 15:52
  what I said in two. But now you've got three guys
• 15:55
  that have had some experience in this system playing in some
• 15:58
  games. Colin obviously started a couple
• 16:01
  games elsewhere. So you got a guy with with that
• 16:04
  type of experience coming in. You got pop with a little more
• 16:06
  experience. It's just top to bottom a a
• 16:09
  better quarterback room than what we started with last year.
• 16:12
  Tally what? About you Oh yeah no that
• 16:16
  definitely kind of like Brian said I mean we had so many
• 16:21
  unknowns last year. It's going to be probably going
• 16:23
  to be a lot of UPS. But like I said we had so many
• 16:26
  unknowns last year like going into the season and it's like
• 16:29
  well we hope what we hope it's like this year it's like this is
• 16:33
  happening. You know what I'm saying like
• 16:34
  this is going to happen. So again, I mean, you y'all know
• 16:38
  everybody watching knows man. But I will say something, you
• 16:41
  know, me and Chris, shout out to Chris Lester, great guy, man.
• 16:46
  He's a good friend to me. We we talk a lot about sports,
• 16:49
  but family as well. And he said something that was
• 16:53
  pretty profound to me when we got to talking about Grant
• 16:56
  Wells, he said and and and I was one of the people who was
• 17:01
  Grant's a great kid. I just didn't think he had the
• 17:04
  skill to get us to the next level, you know, and that was no
• 17:10
  knock on him. But Chris, again, me and him
• 17:12
  were talking and he said something like I said, it was
• 17:14
  pretty profound. He said all of these guys that
• 17:18
  are on the roster committed after watching Grant Wells play,
• 17:22
  after watching that team beat, you know, go set three games
• 17:26
  and, and three and seven, whatever we were three and
• 17:29
  whatever 8. 3:00 and 3:00 and 8:00.
• 17:32
  Yeah. After going three and eight,
• 17:35
  Grant was the quarterback. You know, all of these guys that
• 17:38
  came in, Kyron came in, Allie Jennings came in because they
• 17:45
  knew that this offense could go to another level.
• 17:48
  So Grant Wells didn't really hinder anything.
• 17:51
  He was a, and I don't want to say he was a stepping stone, but
• 17:55
  he took the chance to come to Virginia Tech to go through
• 17:58
  those games. And we were competitive.
• 18:00
  We played a lot of games that he played in with some kids that
• 18:05
  you know what, what else were they would have started in Power
• 18:09
  5. Still no.
• 18:11
  And we were competitive in those games.
• 18:13
  And so it at least gave us a a backbone to show recruits, Hey,
• 18:21
  if you come in, we can get to that next level.
• 18:23
  You know, so Tebow could go talk to Kyron drone so Tebow can go
• 18:27
  talk to Quan Felton and say, Hey, this is kind of what it
• 18:30
  looks like. But you know, this X's and O's,
• 18:33
  we need the Jimmy's and Joe's, you know what I mean?
• 18:35
  So I got to give I got to give him a little bit of credit on
• 18:38
  that. I thought that was a a different
• 18:39
  perspective that I hadn't thought of.
• 18:42
  That was pretty good. And then, like I said, back to
• 18:45
  what we're talking about now, you know, Karen steps in and he
• 18:49
  does what he does last year and his stocks, you know, up
• 18:53
  tremendous. And then they go in, they get a,
• 18:56
  a, a veteran backup to go along with the young guys that we have
• 19:01
  in the stable as well. So just kind of bring some
• 19:04
  balance after your starter. When we get up on those games,
• 19:09
  when we go and beat these teams 42 to seven, like we know it's
• 19:14
  going to happen. You can get our starters out and
• 19:17
  you can get some back up, some work and they can go in.
• 19:19
  They continue to get their reps and work on their craft as well.
• 19:22
  So stock up on that room. All right, I'm with y'all stock
• 19:26
  up on this one as well. And and and a lot of what Brian
• 19:29
  and Tally both said a lot of that's intermingling.
• 19:31
  But I also think this and I always think this perspective,
• 19:35
  there's three quarterbacks powering's getting one reps the
• 19:38
  backup, whoever that is is going to get some a little bit of one
• 19:42
  Rep. They're going to work with twos
• 19:43
  primarily, but it's whoever the third quarterback is, is running
• 19:47
  practice wild more. So if that is Pop Watson, that
• 19:51
  is unbelievable for him, right? Pop go out there, run the
• 19:55
  offense, get those reps Don't matter who you're playing with,
• 19:58
  you're going to get live reps because you're the practice
• 20:00
  squad guy and that's awesome. If Pop wins the job and he's the
• 20:03
  backup, wonderful, Love it. But then to what Tally just
• 20:07
  said, now you're putting a veteran on practice squad.
• 20:10
  He's probably going to know exactly what to do in every
• 20:12
  situation, which is going to be getting us better prepared for
• 20:16
  the season. So that soccer room is way up.
• 20:19
  You got Dobby belt for it. Who, you know, came on campus,
• 20:23
  you see some other young guys in the recruiting class.
• 20:26
  So I'm not even talking this season, just in general that is
• 20:29
  through the roof. All right, Tally, I'm going to
• 20:32
  go. And the quarterbacks got to turn
• 20:34
  around and hand the ball off. So I'm going to hand the ball
• 20:36
  off to you. The running backroom, what we
• 20:39
  feeling like there right now? Stock up.
• 20:41
  Stock down. You know, you know what I'm
• 20:44
  going to say stock up as well on this.
• 20:46
  You know, we got some people that come back from last year.
• 20:50
  I like Bryce Duke. I hated to see him leave, but I
• 20:54
  can understand. But I like what I seen from
• 20:57
  Prelude in the in the Spring game.
• 20:59
  I know spring games don't matter and all this, but I'm just
• 21:02
  saying if we can use the plays that I've seen him run, I don't
• 21:07
  know if it's him, I think he can do it.
• 21:09
  But the plays that I've seen him run with, you know, using the
• 21:13
  running backside of the backfield and doing some
• 21:16
  different things like that, I'd I'd like to see that.
• 21:18
  So I'd say the running back room to stock up and then we we can
• 21:21
  keep Malachi healthy. You know, we've seen him flash a
• 21:27
  lot at over the last two years, but then, you know, injury hit.
• 21:31
  So we're going to go stock up. Brian Siegler, you know I'm
• 21:38
  going to go stock up too. I, I like what I've seen from,
• 21:42
  from Coney. I, I think you're going to get
• 21:48
  a, a tutor that you 100% know how to use the offense.
• 21:52
  I feel like the start of the season we were kind of working
• 21:55
  him in kind of seeing what he did best, where, where, where,
• 21:59
  what plays were going to be the home runs for him.
• 22:03
  I think as we got into that later in the season, we really
• 22:08
  utilized him a lot better. So I think I think you're going
• 22:11
  to see a a better utilized Tootin.
• 22:13
  I think Malachi seems to be at at his most healthy that I've
• 22:18
  seen him in the last two years heading into this season.
• 22:20
  I think that's a key element to to what we're looking at here.
• 22:25
  And like I said, Coney, Coney has has shown me something.
• 22:28
  I think he's going to be a really good compliment to that
• 22:30
  1-2 punch and we'll see if some of the other guys like Prelo get
• 22:34
  in there. You know, we'll we'll see if if
• 22:38
  they make some some hay as well. So I'm very interested to see
• 22:42
  what what goes on with that room pass those kind of first two or
• 22:45
  three guys, but I definitely think stock up this year all.
• 22:48
  Right. I'm with y'all, I don't my
• 22:50
  percentage, it's a very small up, very small up based on what
• 22:55
  TuneIn Thomas did and what kind of Prelude did in the spring.
• 22:59
  Because after, after the first two guys, it is the unknown.
• 23:03
  We don't know what Coney's going to exactly be like on game day.
• 23:06
  Can PJ Prolu take some of those, You know, those gimmicks, slash,
• 23:10
  you know, trick plays that they kind of ran with him?
• 23:13
  Can they get that into a game element?
• 23:16
  If they can, it's going to be higher than I, you know, higher
• 23:20
  than where I am right now. But it's just a little bit up.
• 23:22
  It's not like the quarterback room, even though I like the
• 23:25
  guys behind them, it's just it doesn't have that dynamic where
• 23:29
  you just feel like, man, this room's really, you know, this
• 23:33
  room's really unbelievable. One through 123, it's just like
• 23:36
  one's really, really good. Two, it's healthy.
• 23:38
  OK, Three, if they run the right place for them.
• 23:42
  So just a little bit up. All right, we got to chime in
• 23:45
  real quick, not on this room, but Chris Lester wanted to say
• 23:48
  something way, way up, way up for the quarterback room.
• 23:53
  I don't disagree, Chris. I don't agree at all.
• 23:56
  Like stocks is like through the roof.
• 23:58
  All right, Brian Siegler, I'm giving you like the easiest one,
• 24:03
  the easiest one, the easiest one.
• 24:05
  This is the easiest one. I'm I'm timing how long it's
• 24:09
  going to take us wide receiving room.
• 24:12
  Way up, Way up. I mean, there's really no other
• 24:19
  way to to, to phrase it, man. I mean, you, you, you throw
• 24:24
  Ollie Jennings back into a mix of very effective receiving
• 24:29
  corps that you had last year. You got Aiden Green coming on
• 24:33
  and then you got guys like Brody and Chan's coming in as as
• 24:37
  freshmen looking to make a little bit of noise as well.
• 24:41
  You know, you throw in a chance Fitzgerald here or there and see
• 24:44
  if he's taking another step in development and maybe either one
• 24:47
  or two other guys that we don't even know anything about yet.
• 24:49
  You know, Tucker Holloway, if he gets healthy through the season,
• 24:53
  you know, he makes, you know, some sort of impact on this
• 24:55
  group. So I.
• 24:58
  Mean keep naming them. We left out, we left out Steven
• 25:02
  Gosnell, we left out Aiden Green.
• 25:05
  I mean there's names on top of names on top of names and then
• 25:08
  you got them stacked up enough where you got, you know, senior
• 25:12
  leadership, then you got guys right behind them.
• 25:14
  Then you got the young freshman coming in that are able to watch
• 25:16
  the older guys. Like it is amazing that Fontell
• 25:22
  has has built that room. The coaching staff in general.
• 25:24
  But if y'all new here, if you're new to Virginia Tech and Hokie
• 25:29
  nation, like we ain't used to that many athletes being in that
• 25:33
  that wide receiver. Now we've had some good wide
• 25:35
  receivers come through here. Don't not don't.
• 25:37
  I'm not saying that, but when you look up and down that roster
• 25:40
  and you look at, you know, when you get to college, the stars go
• 25:43
  away. So we ain't just thinking about
• 25:45
  the stars right now. We're thinking about what we've
• 25:47
  seen proven on the field. And then the guys that have come
• 25:51
  in, the freshmen that have come in, we see them going against
• 25:56
  good defensive players in spring, in fall practice and
• 26:01
  they look like they belong there.
• 26:03
  So that is way stock up. Just I mean, just two seasons
• 26:08
  ago, we were talking about this being arguably the worst wide
• 26:11
  receiver core in power Five, right?
• 26:15
  And and that's no disrespect to the guys that were here that
• 26:17
  were part of that. It just the decimated roster
• 26:20
  that we had at the end of the Fuente era, especially at the
• 26:23
  skill position group was crazy. And in two, two to three, 2 1/2
• 26:28
  cycles, really, you went from that to arguably the best wide
• 26:34
  receiver core in the ACC, especially when we talk about
• 26:37
  depth. Yeah.
• 26:39
  I mean, it is crazy. It is crazy.
• 26:42
  All right, we got we got multiple people chiming in on
• 26:45
  this. Before I get my opinion, let me
• 26:46
  throw this up here. We got Kevin.
• 26:49
  Yeah, To the moon, The bad boys out there.
• 26:52
  Yeah. Way up.
• 26:53
  Way up, way up. Low country living Absolutely.
• 26:57
  All the way up and and I'm with y'all, this is one of those
• 27:00
  things where you buy a stock at like $3, you forget about it and
• 27:05
  you walk around like a year later and it's like worth 800
• 27:08
  and you're like, whoa, what happened?
• 27:10
  This thing was not worth that. And and tell you said list them
• 27:14
  Felton Jennings, Lane Gosnell, Aiden Green, Chance Fitzgerald,
• 27:19
  Brody Chance. What about XTB?
• 27:22
  You saw him a couple times last year break.
• 27:27
  We couldn't even get that deep. Didn't even think about that
• 27:31
  name. It's crazy and.
• 27:33
  You've got guys like Takahi that we've heard about doing good
• 27:35
  things before. He got back, got his name.
• 27:38
  He was, he was last year. He got hurt like he was ahead of
• 27:42
  some of the other guys and he got hurt like that room was
• 27:45
  super deep, man. And what that creates when you
• 27:48
  got that going on is competition.
• 27:50
  You can't just go to practice and chill.
• 27:54
  You got to go to practice and you got to you got to go to work
• 27:58
  because the next guy is trying to get on the field.
• 28:00
  So you can see that you can see the competition, man.
• 28:04
  You can see everybody wants it like it is.
• 28:07
  It's crazy. All righty, all right, tally,
• 28:11
  back to you on this one. Back to you on this one and
• 28:17
  tight end room, your room that you played in up, down level.
• 28:24
  Yeah, we're going to get to that.
• 28:25
  Let me see what Miss. Miss Sarah he is talking about.
• 28:27
  Miss Sarah, welcome to the show. We got to correct you, because
• 28:31
  if you're talking about Malik Washington, he did not come from
• 28:34
  Virginia Tech. He came from another place that
• 28:38
  has Virginia in it, the University of Virginia.
• 28:41
  So he's a great player, but he didn't come from here.
• 28:44
  And we don't like them. We like him.
• 28:46
  Oh he don't like them? I didn't see that comment and
• 28:49
  wanted to say that but we don't. What tidying room?
• 28:52
  Tidying room up down level. Yeah, so y'all can beat me up.
• 28:57
  I'm going to go down, man. I got to go down.
• 28:59
  And the reason I'm going to go down is because we lost.
• 29:04
  We lost, right? You know, like he left.
• 29:08
  Now, I'll say this, I think that because some people say, well,
• 29:12
  we get, you know, we get Gallo back and we seen Biggie, they
• 29:17
  were going to be here regardless.
• 29:18
  Like they're here so you could interchange them, you could take
• 29:22
  right out and put them in if we're going to run the ball
• 29:24
  because they are better blocking backs than he was.
• 29:28
  But at the same time, it was like he was a defense, like he
• 29:31
  was a mismatch, you know what I'm saying?
• 29:33
  Like him being on the field, he was a mismatch.
• 29:35
  So I think we have the wide receivers that can take those
• 29:39
  catches, which is great, but we're just talking about that
• 29:42
  tidy in room when you lose a tidy in.
• 29:45
  That was, I think he was third on the team in receptions last
• 29:48
  year. No matter how you slice it,
• 29:51
  yeah, no matter how you slice it, go back and watch the tape.
• 29:55
  He was he did what he was supposed to do in the past game.
• 29:58
  So no disrespect to the guys. I like.
• 30:01
  I like what I'm seeing out of Saint Germain.
• 30:03
  I like what I'm seeing out of Benji.
• 30:04
  I think Benji's probably the most athletic out of the tight
• 30:08
  ends. Gallo's going to bring some
• 30:10
  senior leadership, so that's good.
• 30:12
  He's been there nine years. I just hope, you know, he's
• 30:14
  healthy and everything. You know, he he's he's able to
• 30:18
  go out the way he wants to go out.
• 30:20
  But I'm going to go stock down on that just because of that
• 30:22
  reason, because he left. Ron.
• 30:26
  It's stock down, but it's it's just a little bit.
• 30:31
  And what it's, it's, it's mostly to do with what Tally said.
• 30:34
  I mean, you got to replace a lot of production from a receiving
• 30:38
  standpoint with Daquan Wright moving on to Ole Miss.
• 30:41
  So that that's a big one. Everybody that listens to this
• 30:44
  podcast, they they know how I felt about Daquan Wright.
• 30:50
  So we don't need to rehash all that.
• 30:52
  They know that I knew he was a dude.
• 30:55
  So there's no way that you lose that off your team and there's
• 30:58
  not some degree of drop off there.
• 30:59
  Now, what I think is going to happen is that there's going to
• 31:03
  be some replacing of that production, but it's going to be
• 31:05
  by committee. You're going to see more guys
• 31:08
  get involved in the offense in more specialized ways instead of
• 31:13
  having a guy like right, that could do pretty much everything
• 31:16
  in the passing game. So you get Gallo back little
• 31:20
  more of the the short intermediate stuff.
• 31:23
  A guy like Zeke Wimbish can do those deep crossers, those
• 31:25
  seams. So we, you know, you kind of end
• 31:28
  up, you know, replacing him in terms of role with a a few other
• 31:34
  guys, but in terms of just having the one guy that can go
• 31:37
  out there and just be a mismatched nightmare, you don't
• 31:39
  really have that anymore in the passing game.
• 31:42
  But I think overall blocking the levels going to raise up a
• 31:45
  little bit. That's why I said it's only
• 31:46
  going to be a little bit of a difference, but I definitely
• 31:49
  think it's a small step back in that that position group.
• 31:52
  Yeah, 100% on that. It is stock down.
• 31:55
  When you lose a guy tally stat loud with 28 receptions, 366
• 32:00
  yards, 13.1 per reception. That's a huge thing to lose.
• 32:06
  Now Benji Gosnell had his flashes last year, had some good
• 32:10
  plays and we're getting Gallo back.
• 32:13
  But it's Gallo off of me. And like you said, he ain't no
• 32:15
  spring chicken, right? Gallo's an older guy.
• 32:18
  Gallo did have over 600 yards just two years ago.
• 32:21
  So it's definitely there. But it's down because I because
• 32:27
  Wright was so dynamic like in in as far as you say.
• 32:31
  Well, well, he won the best blocker.
• 32:32
  You know what if you threw that man on the field with the big
• 32:37
  three right now? I mean you put you twisting up
• 32:41
  defenses because against a nickel corner or against a
• 32:45
  smaller cornerback right could block you go out there against
• 32:49
  the linebackers asked him to do a hardship off the IT won't
• 32:52
  gonna be there, but it is stock down unfortunately for that
• 32:55
  room. All righty Brian, we're back to
• 32:58
  you and obviously clearly there's only one group left.
• 33:01
  I also wanted to start with you because I needed to hear Tally's
• 33:06
  second point of view after. Him, I'm I'm going to be calm,
• 33:09
  be calm. You know, I want you to be calm.
• 33:12
  But Brian, what you've read, what you've heard, where is this
• 33:16
  offensive line at right now? I'm going to say that the stock
• 33:20
  is up. It's not a resounding up, but I,
• 33:26
  I think we're in a much better position than we were even at
• 33:29
  the end of last year for several reasons.
• 33:31
  Number one, you bring in a guy like Cunningham that at worst is
• 33:35
  going to be a very good depth piece for this unit, right?
• 33:39
  And then you got two other guys in Brody Meadows and Lathe Ganem
• 33:43
  that seem to be coming on in fall camp after post spring.
• 33:48
  They're pushing some of the guys on that starting line for some
• 33:52
  playing time. So now you're talking about
• 33:55
  eight guys, you know, with maybe a 9th, you know, slipped in
• 34:00
  there in terms of depth. Whereas last year I think we
• 34:03
  were more like maybe six at times 7, but mostly 6 for most
• 34:11
  of that year. So you get a little bit of
• 34:14
  wiggle room if, if there is a guy or two that go down this
• 34:17
  year and that I think that is where the improvement is the
• 34:20
  most is having a little bit of wiggle room with this offensive
• 34:25
  line. If there is an injury here or
• 34:27
  there, not feeling like it's the end of the world.
• 34:31
  But in terms of of front end, we, we've got to hope that they
• 34:34
  actually take a step talent wise because I don't think we're
• 34:38
  going to see a whole lot of new faces on the line.
• 34:44
  Jonathan Talley. Oh, it's on me.
• 34:47
  It's on you. Well, I'm going to actually say
• 34:51
  stock up a little bit, you know, because as Curtis put it, if you
• 34:56
  buy stock at $3, sometimes it's got to go up, you know what I'm
• 35:02
  saying? It might go up to three O 5.
• 35:06
  So I will say, I mean from last year, you go back and you look
• 35:12
  at the early games, Tootin was getting hit 3-4 times in the
• 35:17
  backfield. You know what I'm saying it he
• 35:20
  couldn't do nothing. He couldn't.
• 35:23
  We we couldn't get no rushing yards.
• 35:24
  I think at one time we might have like 20 rushing yards one
• 35:27
  game and then maybe against Purdue and then Karen breaks a
• 35:30
  run and had more rushing yards in that run than we did in the
• 35:34
  whole game or something. It's crazy stats for what we
• 35:37
  were doing. But again, the offense changes a
• 35:41
  little bit. People get a little bit more
• 35:43
  comfortable. We don't, I mean, we didn't lose
• 35:46
  nobody. So it ain't like we had a stud
• 35:48
  that we lost and we're like, OK, well, we just got to replace
• 35:51
  him. So you got pretty much everybody
• 35:53
  back. So at least you got some more
• 35:56
  experience, you know what I'm saying?
• 35:58
  You got some experience and you got some people behind you that
• 36:00
  if you don't get your ass in gear, you going to come out.
• 36:05
  You got, you ain't just stuck in there, you know, you're seeing
• 36:09
  different people get in there. And then like even with
• 36:11
  Cunningham, people's like, is he going to start?
• 36:14
  You know, I, I seen him, he can play.
• 36:17
  I seen him in the spring game. I again, you can watch somebody
• 36:20
  play. If you watch offensive line and
• 36:23
  you watch the feet, you can tell if somebody can move their feet
• 36:26
  or not. I mean, it ain't that easy.
• 36:28
  But I mean, if you watch it enough, you can say, OK, yeah,
• 36:30
  he can move a little bit for that size he can play.
• 36:33
  So if he's not 100% the starter and he's having to push
• 36:38
  somebody, that means that it's some good competition going on.
• 36:41
  That means somebody don't want to lose their spot.
• 36:43
  So I'm OK with that. So I would say up slightly until
• 36:49
  I see a game, but we will be in Nashville here shortly and I
• 36:54
  will be looking at it close up and personal.
• 36:57
  So we'll we'll figure out how the stock is after I leave that.
• 37:01
  But right now, we're going to say stock up a little bit.
• 37:03
  Absolutely. So a couple things before I
• 37:05
  speak. Here's a few people chiming in
• 37:08
  big up from Thomas. We got bigger, stronger, more
• 37:13
  experience. It is more experience.
• 37:16
  Chris let's you got two things to say, Coach foot for president
• 37:18
  and a little bit more about coach truck.
• 37:21
  That's a big piece right there. And I'm with Tally.
• 37:23
  I'm stocked up a little bit. I'm stocked up a little bit
• 37:27
  because when we kind of got the right stuff going, we looked
• 37:31
  better. We were by no means like that
• 37:33
  elite top 25 line where, you know what, if you beat us, we're
• 37:39
  just going to have a bad day. It was that we were maybe
• 37:43
  average to maybe slightly above average.
• 37:46
  And now from the reports we're getting, you know, David
• 37:50
  Cunningham was with us last week feeling like it could be eight.
• 37:53
  That report that came out at the end of last week about basically
• 37:58
  there was a day where it was get what Leif Ganem little more at
• 38:03
  center, big more back at right guard.
• 38:06
  So now again, it's that depth. It's but it's been we tally, we
• 38:11
  joke about that nickel, but for what this team was last year, if
• 38:16
  it's just a marginal increase of being a little bit better in the
• 38:19
  offensive line, we saw what happened when this thing got
• 38:23
  going right. If it's just marginally better,
• 38:26
  that's a long way. That's a long way from where it
• 38:28
  was at the beginning of this year last year or this line last
• 38:32
  year. All right, let's flip it over to
• 38:35
  the defensive side of the ball now and let's start with the
• 38:39
  defensive ends. Brian, where are you feeling up,
• 38:43
  down. Same.
• 38:45
  I got a feeling the ankles say down because shit I just I don't
• 38:50
  think he can say down. I'm, I'm not going to say down.
• 38:54
  I, I, I, I'm going to say up. I'm going to say it's a marginal
• 38:57
  up. What I think we, we know we're
• 39:01
  going to get with APR right? We, we know, we, we've seen him.
• 39:04
  We, we, we saw what he can do last year.
• 39:06
  We know we're getting, I think the big thing is that I think
• 39:10
  having a full offseason with kind of understanding who our
• 39:13
  personnel is, I think you're going to see big jumps from
• 39:16
  Nelson and Burgos and that's where we're going to see that
• 39:19
  stock go a little bit higher. And I think you got guys like
• 39:23
  McRae and and Jordan McDonald still kind of working in there
• 39:26
  as well that give you a little bit of added depth behind those
• 39:29
  big those first three. So I, I think the stock's up.
• 39:33
  I don't think it's up significantly, but I think it's
• 39:35
  a, you know, it's going to be a a nice little steady uptick
• 39:38
  there. Let me ask Tally, Tally, let me
• 39:40
  ask you this before I flip it over.
• 39:41
  How much more can it go up defensive end wise when the
• 39:46
  defensive ends deal what they did last year on a national
• 39:49
  stage with Saxon tackle for loss?
• 39:52
  Well, it's, it's kind of hard to, it's kind of hard to put it
• 39:58
  in the words what it is. But the main thing is, and it's
• 40:01
  for me, I'm going to just go ahead and put the line together
• 40:04
  because it's so hard. We have somebody who is.
• 40:09
  I'll say either stock has to be up or stock is the same, which
• 40:12
  is fine. But when you have somebody who
• 40:14
  has a great year like APR did and people say, well, you know
• 40:17
  what you get with him? Well, you really don't because
• 40:19
  he could take a step forward, which would be awesome, or he
• 40:23
  could be right where he was last year because people are doubling
• 40:26
  them. And then people are doing
• 40:28
  different things to make sure that they're game planning for
• 40:30
  him. And then somebody else, you got
• 40:32
  other people on the line that's going to step up and they going
• 40:34
  to take, they can take those tackle for loss, they can take
• 40:36
  those sacks. So even if his sack numbers dip
• 40:41
  just a little bit, just because he's there, somebody else is
• 40:45
  going to eat just because he's there.
• 40:48
  A linebacker may not get somebody to that second level
• 40:52
  because they are saying you guys don't leave him, stay on him and
• 40:57
  let that linebacker, we going to try to make the linebacker miss
• 41:01
  with our running back. You know, we going to put them
• 41:03
  one-on-one or something and then the linebacker goes and makes
• 41:05
  the tackle. I know that's a lot at one time,
• 41:07
  but I'm just saying APR is exactly what he needs to be.
• 41:12
  He is a distraction for a offensive coordinator before he
• 41:15
  even steps on the field. I promise you, everybody on that
• 41:18
  offense is looking for 52. You damn right they are.
• 41:22
  So that I got to say stock up just because of what he's done
• 41:27
  and how he's made it and because he's getting in people's heads.
• 41:30
  But like I said, don't be alarmed if it's a couple of
• 41:33
  games and you don't see a sack or a multi game sack form.
• 41:39
  We got to look at that as a whole because of him being there
• 41:42
  makes that line so hard to block.
• 41:45
  All right, well, let me do this because you said you wanted to
• 41:48
  roll them into it. I'll, I'll talk about both sides
• 41:50
  at the end. What about the defensive tackle
• 41:52
  room, man? I mean, you got Fuga coming back
• 41:56
  and you mentioned just a second ago, people's going to be
• 42:00
  everybody's looking for 52. Well then there's going to be
• 42:03
  somebody that pulls up the tape and says y'all realize #16 that
• 42:07
  mother is a damn all ACCD tackle.
• 42:11
  We need to lock them too. Where are you the tackle room?
• 42:13
  Is that up? I mean, it's got to be up
• 42:16
  because again, I think that the kids last year, young men last
• 42:20
  year did a great job. You know, like we have fell
• 42:25
  Darius on here, nobody. Well, we had a couple people
• 42:29
  that felt like if he took a step forward, it was going to be a
• 42:33
  big year for him and that defensive line.
• 42:36
  And when he got his opportunity, he went in and he did what he
• 42:39
  had to do, like he shine, but it was more of a collective unit
• 42:43
  thing that they did. You know, people, not people's
• 42:47
  pilot was in, Kendrick's was in, Fuga was helping Federus was in
• 42:52
  doing his thing. Like you just said.
• 42:56
  The same with APR. They're going to have to look at
• 42:58
  16 and say what are we going to do about him in the middle?
• 43:02
  You know what I'm saying? Like, are we going to chip him?
• 43:05
  Are we going to have to send a full back at him?
• 43:07
  Are we going to not be able to run a not be able to run a
• 43:11
  screen because he's fast enough to get to the line back to get
• 43:14
  to the quarterback if we let him through?
• 43:17
  Like it's a lot of planning that goes along with having those
• 43:20
  players. And I don't think that we are
• 43:23
  aware of we have stars on the team now, you know what I'm
• 43:27
  saying? And I don't just mean just the,
• 43:30
  oh man, we got good players like you got nationally ranked
• 43:33
  players on your team that people are going to game plan for.
• 43:37
  Like if I was the other defensive end, Keyshawn Burgos,
• 43:41
  Cole Nelson had a pretty good year last year.
• 43:44
  Whoever's on that other side, I, they better be licking their
• 43:47
  chops, man, because they're going to be looking to that
• 43:49
  other side and worried about him.
• 43:50
  And it's Showtime to eat on that side.
• 43:52
  So I, it, it should be fun, man. I I got to say stock up on the
• 43:57
  whole line, but for those reasons.
• 44:00
  Got it. Sigla D Tackle.
• 44:03
  Man, so you know, you got Fuka coming back, got an extra year
• 44:08
  here. He's he's probably going to be a
• 44:10
  captain, whether he's a guy that has that or designation like we
• 44:16
  were talking about on the preview panel or whatever.
• 44:19
  He's going to be in the steady rotation for this group.
• 44:22
  But then he bring in three key transfers.
• 44:25
  Amneus Peebles, you got Kamari Copeland from JUCO, you got
• 44:31
  Kelvin Gilliam coming in. You also got some of the other
• 44:34
  guys that are already on your roster taking another step.
• 44:37
  You got Malachi Madison, you got Gerard Johnson.
• 44:40
  You're throwing in a a youngster like Emmett Laws in the end of
• 44:43
  this group. This room is way, way up in my
• 44:46
  opinion, and I think it's because of that depth piece that
• 44:49
  we're talking about. I think last year we had three
• 44:51
  to four guys that we could rely on consistently.
• 44:55
  They were steady eddies that you do what you can get out from
• 44:57
  them. I think Aeneas Peebles raises
• 45:00
  the ceiling of this unit and I think all the other guys they
• 45:04
  brought in raised the potential level for this unit.
• 45:07
  Plus you have the added depth of having being able to go really 6
• 45:11
  deep at this group instead of four or five deep.
• 45:15
  Yep, that's the big piece right there.
• 45:16
  And real quick. Got it.
• 45:17
  Just a couple folks chiming in. The defensive ends up Burgos
• 45:21
  expecting a big year. Low country.
• 45:23
  Yeah, the me it for the defensive ends.
• 45:26
  It's slightly up. I wish CJ McRae was healthy.
• 45:29
  I wish we knew right now that that leg was completely healthy
• 45:32
  where he could play. I would feel even better about
• 45:35
  that room. Defensive tackle to what Brian
• 45:38
  just said, that room went from being where it was really three
• 45:46
  cog pieces to where you feel like is it 4, is it 5?
• 45:51
  Is it six that can actually play and to to what Chris is saying
• 45:56
  it right here, because the honest truth is, and I know JC
• 46:00
  Price, we talked to him. Y'all, I got a feeling there's
• 46:04
  going to be times JC is going to stick people's and go stick APR
• 46:07
  on the same side and say put everybody over there.
• 46:11
  Give me one on ones with some of these young guys and make them
• 46:15
  pay. Because the 2nd it's it's not if
• 46:18
  it's not the if it's when they it's when that D line makes them
• 46:22
  pay pops the quarterback causes a fumble, massive tackle for
• 46:25
  loss. They have to sit there and say,
• 46:28
  well, if these guys are going to eat all day.
• 46:30
  Can we consistently continually chip and continually send the
• 46:33
  full back and keep the tight end in or we eventually going to
• 46:36
  have to just we don't have to play it straight up and then
• 46:41
  that's what we want, right? That's a decision.
• 46:43
  And we've said all these names and haven't really even talked
• 46:45
  about Curtis Perry yet and, and how he, you know, he might be a
• 46:49
  situational piece in this group. Situational 3 tech situational
• 46:53
  big end. So again, it's it's it's up.
• 46:59
  I ain't putting it at the wide receiver level of up, but it's
• 47:02
  up. All right, Brian, let's flip
• 47:04
  back. Linebacker room, linebacker
• 47:07
  room. And did you get a chance to see
• 47:09
  some of those interviews last weekend?
• 47:12
  Which ones? The what?
• 47:14
  Lawson. And with all those guys, it
• 47:16
  seems like everybody, with the exception of Brumfield, is all
• 47:19
  over the damn place. Yeah, it looks like they're
• 47:23
  they're they're definitely cross training that Will and star
• 47:27
  position pretty heavily. You know, you got Brumfield
• 47:32
  that's kind of locked in. It sounds like he's going to be
• 47:35
  kind of that guy. Mike.
• 47:38
  You got guys playing star, guys playing Will.
• 47:40
  You got Kelly at star. You got, you know, Caleb Spencer
• 47:44
  playing a couple spots. You got Caleb Woodson playing a
• 47:47
  couple spots. I mean, I think outside of
• 47:50
  Keanta Jenkins and Sam Brumfield, everybody else is all
• 47:53
  over the place. You know, Keanta is going to
• 47:57
  probably be that, that first guy at * and then Brumfield there at
• 48:03
  Mike. And we'll see who lines up at
• 48:06
  Will and we'll see how much they interchange that position.
• 48:08
  And we'll see how much they move guys from from start of Will and
• 48:12
  back. And I just love the depth that
• 48:16
  we've created because I mean, you got guys like Gabe Williams
• 48:19
  in the mix here. You got even Jade McDonald still
• 48:23
  in the mix there, Jaden Keller still getting his perennial
• 48:28
  fall, can't mention of of being in the mix.
• 48:31
  So it's going to be interesting to see kind of where the chips
• 48:35
  fall with with those, those two positions.
• 48:38
  I think we're we're pretty solid.
• 48:40
  Brumfield, Mike Keonta, the first guy up at star.
• 48:44
  How those rotations work after that is anybody's guess.
• 48:49
  So up, it's still up. Yes, still up because of the
• 48:53
  depth. Tally.
• 48:56
  I'll say up off of 1 clip, I've seen Keonta Jenkins try to take
• 49:00
  somebody's head off the other day on like a jet sweep or
• 49:04
  something. I don't know why he's doing that
• 49:07
  to his own players in practice, but if I see, I seen that.
• 49:11
  So I mean, I got to say up. But now, you know,
• 49:14
  realistically, I mean, who did you lose?
• 49:16
  You didn't lose nobody. You brought some people in to
• 49:18
  help and you got some more experience.
• 49:21
  And again, you brought some people in with some experience.
• 49:25
  You brought in Brumfield, you brought in, like you said, Caleb
• 49:28
  Spencer Woodson's a year older. Keanu Jenkins is the veteran in
• 49:34
  the room. Like I didn't even mention
• 49:37
  Lawson, You know what I'm saying?
• 49:38
  Jaden Keller. Somebody's got to have,
• 49:41
  somebody's got to step up. And again, it goes back to your
• 49:44
  defensive line. It's a team sport.
• 49:47
  If you can keep those big offensive lineman from getting
• 49:51
  to that second level, getting out there and and and mashing on
• 49:56
  your on your linebackers and then they just need to run and
• 50:00
  stop the ball and come downhill and fill holes, that is going to
• 50:04
  make your that's going to make that room better.
• 50:06
  So it's an overall thing. But just as that room, I say
• 50:09
  that the backers up as well all. Right, Thomas agrees with you
• 50:13
  with saying the backers are up. Chris laying a bold prediction.
• 50:17
  Hokies going to increase Chris. They do that.
• 50:21
  They do 50 Chris. That means they will increase
• 50:24
  one sack per game from last year, One additional sack.
• 50:28
  And I know some people say, well, that doesn't sound like a
• 50:31
  lot. One additional sack again.
• 50:34
  Yeah, that's a lot. Opt in as a shit ton.
• 50:36
  As a lot. As a lot I think.
• 50:39
  Half the snack would be a respectable #1 sack is a big
• 50:42
  jump, but I think they could. Yeah, that I think the potential
• 50:45
  is there and I think, you know, we we've talked about it.
• 50:50
  I think you had nauseam at this point with what it means to have
• 50:54
  a guy like Brumfield that is a veteran Mike, that knows how to
• 51:00
  be the quarterback of the defense, because that was not
• 51:02
  some, that was not an asset the linebacker corps had at the
• 51:06
  start of last season and. And that's why for me, that room
• 51:10
  is a significant step up because of Brumfield, because it's
• 51:13
  having that guy that knows where everyone needs to go, where
• 51:17
  everyone needs to line up, how everything needs to get done.
• 51:20
  And it's not, it's not like he doesn't have he has the
• 51:23
  experience. He has in game experience.
• 51:25
  He's played against some good teams.
• 51:27
  It's one of those things I, I think I said to both of y'all
• 51:29
  last year, it might have been a state of the program.
• 51:31
  I don't know if I was that drunk at night when I said how much
• 51:35
  better the linebacker group played from year one to year
• 51:38
  two. And I said, you imagine if you
• 51:40
  had Dax, it might where a guy who knew how to line up
• 51:42
  everybody who knew exactly where to go, even though he might not
• 51:46
  be quick enough to get there every time, but he's putting
• 51:48
  everybody in the right spots. And that's essentially why what
• 51:52
  it is with Sam Brumfield coming in.
• 51:53
  Right. All right, Tally, give me some
• 51:56
  safety room thoughts. Up, down.
• 52:00
  Safety room, I'm still, I mean, again, I want to go up on
• 52:04
  everything, but I got to go Safety room.
• 52:06
  I'm gonna probably go about even on that right now just because I
• 52:12
  need to know if if Stroman is going to get kicked out of
• 52:15
  games. I need I need to know if he
• 52:19
  going to be in there or not. You know, shout out to Strohman.
• 52:22
  Strohman is a is a dog man. He's a headhunter.
• 52:25
  But we need him on the field. You know, we need him on the
• 52:27
  field and we know we got some players back there, but we also
• 52:32
  need to know what do we have back there?
• 52:35
  You know, we know we got we've heard a lot about Reddish.
• 52:40
  He's a freshman. He's coming in.
• 52:41
  We heard about, you know, some different people back there in
• 52:44
  the backside, but I'm going to go about even just because we
• 52:48
  again, I, we didn't lose anybody.
• 52:51
  We, we got the, we got the, the group, the boys are back in
• 52:54
  town. We just need everybody to be
• 52:56
  healthy and everybody to stay in the game and not.
• 52:59
  We don't need no targeting. That's right, look who joined us
• 53:02
  here. Look who's back.
• 53:04
  Where you been, Andretti? Andretti, man.
• 53:06
  Wait, what? The game came out, That's what
• 53:08
  it was. We didn't play he.
• 53:11
  Just came coming up for air from the NC double.
• 53:14
  A You ain't even, you ain't even played him yet.
• 53:16
  I got to find I got to get with him.
• 53:18
  I ain't played him yet either. Oh man, Brian, where are you on
• 53:22
  this room? So.
• 53:25
  I'm I'm right now I'm gonna hold.
• 53:27
  I'm gonna hold at at steady. I'm I'm hold it the same here
• 53:31
  for this, but I think it has potential to go up.
• 53:35
  So when I'm, when I'm looking at this group, you know, Jalen
• 53:39
  Stroman, he's he, he, he's a dog.
• 53:42
  But like Tally said, you know, we we've seen situations,
• 53:45
  whether it's injuries or whether it's targeted and keep him off
• 53:48
  the field a little bit more than we would like.
• 53:50
  Last year in general, injuries and targeting kept our safeties
• 53:55
  off the field more than we wanted.
• 53:57
  It was already a thin group last year, especially with the with
• 54:01
  the youth. Outside of those first two, I
• 54:04
  think we're in a little bit better situation started this
• 54:07
  year. We really have three guys with
• 54:09
  some significant experience at this point looking at Stroman,
• 54:12
  looking at Jones, looking at most Phillips at this point.
• 54:15
  They played a lot of significant snaps last year looking for most
• 54:20
  to, you know, take a take AI think a pretty good step from
• 54:23
  year one to year two. I think the big question is
• 54:26
  going to be is does what does that rest of that safety room
• 54:29
  give us this year? You know, does you know Quinn
• 54:32
  radish step in there? Does Cam Fleming take a step?
• 54:36
  Are we looking at Dev, Devin, Alvis doing anything?
• 54:38
  So I think those three are going to be the big question Marks and
• 54:42
  how much are we going to get from them and how much are we're
• 54:45
  going to ask to get from them, whether it be because of
• 54:48
  injuries or targeting or anything else?
• 54:50
  Because I think the first three there, I think we feel, if not
• 54:54
  super great about. We definitely feel comfortable
• 54:57
  putting them out there for significant snaps.
• 54:59
  All right, I am going to be slightly down on this room and
• 55:02
  it's not for the three guys that y'all talked about in Stroman,
• 55:05
  in most Phillips and in Jones. I think I'm more disappointed
• 55:10
  that we haven't heard names. We've only heard Reddish's name
• 55:13
  a little bit, but it's more of Devin Alvis has been here a
• 55:18
  couple years now, Fleming and Noah Jenkins and a lot of those
• 55:22
  guys have been here a few years now and we're not hearing them
• 55:26
  come up. And usually with safeties,
• 55:29
  usually about the second season, guys can start making names for
• 55:32
  themselves, right? And that worries me a little
• 55:35
  bit. That worries me a little bit.
• 55:36
  That's why I'm slightly down because if I had heard one of
• 55:39
  those names that we didn't hear last year and we heard this year
• 55:44
  like in camp, but we saw something, you know, in spring
• 55:46
  ball that Brian Talley or myself, like it called our eye,
• 55:51
  that will make me feel better. So I'm slightly down now.
• 55:53
  Is there potential to go up? Because I'm going to be straight
• 55:57
  up with you. Yes.
• 55:57
  Brent Pryor, he loves to talk to us fans, he loves talk to the
• 56:02
  media. He he's great on the mic.
• 56:05
  He lets people come in and watch practices multiple times a week,
• 56:08
  right? We know they're getting about 20
• 56:09
  minutes segment, which is a lot of time, y'all.
• 56:13
  But the question is if he got the ace in the hole and it's one
• 56:15
  of these safeties, ain't nobody talking about that Vanderbilt
• 56:20
  game going force a fumble, get a pick and then we're going to be
• 56:23
  like, look, coach, coach being slick.
• 56:26
  Coach didn't want to talk about him because he knew he had a
• 56:28
  fourth safety in that room. That's where I'm interested,
• 56:32
  Brian. You get another easy one.
• 56:33
  You get another easy one. Brian, I get, I get a layup.
• 56:36
  You'll be a layup. Well, we got to have a layup to
• 56:39
  end this segment here how we feeling about corners?
• 56:44
  Up you got another year development for Lane.
• 56:49
  You got arguably the best cornerback in the ACC and Dorian
• 56:53
  Strong coming back in. Here you got another year
• 56:56
  development for Blake, Braylon Johnson, Dante Lovett.
• 56:59
  I'm really excited to see them grow into a bigger role in that
• 57:03
  cornerback room. And then you got guys like Penex
• 57:07
  Williams. You got Joshua Clark as a true
• 57:10
  freshman coming in there and making some noise.
• 57:14
  I haven't even named a couple other guys.
• 57:15
  So I mean, I think this room, yeah, I got love it earlier.
• 57:19
  I got love it in. There.
• 57:22
  Yeah, but I think, I think this, this, this room is deep right
• 57:25
  now. I think we can go about 6 deep
• 57:28
  and feel pretty confident, but I don't think we'll need to ever
• 57:31
  get that deep in the bag as long as we can stay healthy.
• 57:36
  Tally, tally. You got to go up, man.
• 57:39
  You got to go up and we going to go all the way back.
• 57:41
  I know y'all might be tired of me saying it, but I'm going to
• 57:44
  say it again until y'all get it in your heads out there in the
• 57:48
  chat. When your defensive line is
• 57:51
  better, it makes your whole defense better.
• 57:54
  Start in the trenches when that defensive line can get on that
• 57:57
  quarterback and make him throw that ball just a split second
• 58:01
  faster than he really wants to. Dorian Strong will go get it.
• 58:05
  Monsieur Delano, go get it. You got again, like you said,
• 58:10
  Braylon Johnson back there, Dante Lovett, those guys heard a
• 58:13
  lot about Christian Williams. Christian Williams was hurt last
• 58:15
  year, you know, so he's back. Joshua Clark, we've seen him on
• 58:20
  a couple of flashes. I mean, a lot of these kids that
• 58:23
  these coaches that went out and got, man, they're coming in
• 58:25
  ready to play body size wise, like most of the time from the
• 58:31
  Virginia Tech. We're kind of used to.
• 58:33
  We were thinking, you know, man, we're going to have a couple of
• 58:35
  years of development, you know, get the get the weight up.
• 58:38
  No man, they coming in ready to play.
• 58:40
  Look at most Phillips last year. Back to what you said, Curtis,
• 58:43
  when you said who's going to be the one that flashes, man, you
• 58:47
  never know nowadays, like with the, with the, how they've been
• 58:50
  recruiting and how these kids come in, everybody has trainers,
• 58:55
  Everybody comes in, you know, knowing what they need to do and
• 58:59
  have their body ready and man, they're ready to get out there
• 59:01
  and play. So all it takes is like you
• 59:04
  said, one play, Hey, this is your shot.
• 59:06
  I need you to go in and do your job.
• 59:08
  Boom, you going in and get a pick, you go in and get a a, a
• 59:12
  fumble, you know, cause a fumble.
• 59:14
  You know, the next thing you know you're in the rotation.
• 59:16
  So I'm excited to see that. But stock definitely up on that
• 59:21
  DB room. Yeah, 100% the stock is up on
• 59:26
  the DV room. I mean, obviously you mentioned
• 59:30
  Brian best corner in the ACC and Dorian strong and probably, I
• 59:35
  mean it is you can make Just Cause the best duo in the ACC
• 59:42
  with him and Mansoor. I definitely think they are a
• 59:45
  top 20 duo in the country. I think they're a top 20 duo in
• 59:49
  the country straight up. But I think it's also because we
• 59:53
  saw Lovett play last year and we saw Braylon play and it's like
• 59:56
  these guys are holding up. They're true freshmen.
• 59:59
  Their bodies are already ready. And then to add on top of that.
• 1:00:03
  We heard the name Christian Williams that came out of
• 1:00:05
  coach's mouth a couple days ago. Hadn't heard that name, so he
• 1:00:08
  clearly did something there. And then Joshua Clark.
• 1:00:11
  And we saw Joshua Clark on field of spring ball.
• 1:00:14
  We saw that like, OK, this kid can play.
• 1:00:19
  And Curtis And Curtis. Guess what?
• 1:00:21
  What? Tell me somebody.
• 1:00:22
  No, no, you didn't miss nobody, but we didn't even mention.
• 1:00:25
  Look who they're going against in practice every day.
• 1:00:29
  Iron sharpen and iron, baby. Look who they going against in
• 1:00:32
  practice every day you got to go against that wide receiving
• 1:00:34
  room. You better be getting better or
• 1:00:36
  you going to have to transfer to Blue Valley State or whatever
• 1:00:40
  the place is north of state. I don't know.
• 1:00:44
  You have to go somewhere to play If you playing against them and
• 1:00:47
  they make you look silly and you ain't getting no better every
• 1:00:49
  day. So I mean, when you going
• 1:00:51
  against top wide receivers in NFL caliber players, that's
• 1:00:58
  that's what you want. So. 100% All right, well our UVA
• 1:01:03
  fan is asking here, do we have game by game predictions before
• 1:01:06
  the season starts? Well, guess what?
• 1:01:08
  That is coming up after the break with our sponsor from Main
• 1:01:12
  Street Pharmacy. I can probably save you a lot of
• 1:01:15
  money and I can take a lot better care of you.
• 1:01:18
  That's pretty much it. My name is Jeremy Counts and I'm
• 1:01:20
  a pharmacist. I own and operate Main Street
• 1:01:23
  Pharmacy here in downtown Blacksburg.
• 1:01:25
  My brother's a pharmacist, I'm a pharmacist, my uncle's a
• 1:01:27
  pharmacist, my dad's a pharmacist.
• 1:01:28
  I remember he would give me M&M's to count in little pill
• 1:01:31
  counters. This is something I've always
• 1:01:33
  done and I'm just lucky that what I know so well is something
• 1:01:37
  that I can do and feel good about it and get back to.
• 1:01:39
  People. Pharmacies are your frontline
• 1:01:42
  defense. Pharmacy's job is to make sure
• 1:01:44
  you're getting optimal care for the lowest price possible.
• 1:01:47
  Also, we take the pressure off of emergency rooms.
• 1:01:50
  I'll tell people immediately when they need to go to the
• 1:01:52
  doctor, or I'll tell them if they just need a cream over the
• 1:01:54
  counter. If there's something that isn't
• 1:01:56
  commercially available, if it's something that's not available
• 1:01:59
  in a certain strength or a certain form or anything like
• 1:02:01
  that, we'll make it. TaylorMade medications.
• 1:02:03
  Some of those options save people a lot of money.
• 1:02:06
  What motivates me, I get to take care of people and limit
• 1:02:08
  Blacksburg. That's all neat.
• 1:02:13
  All righty, we are back and now it is time that we made our
• 1:02:18
  season predictions. By the way, I got I got to call
• 1:02:21
  Thomas out here. Thomas 15 and no, don't work no
• 1:02:24
  more bro. You got to be 16 and no to win
• 1:02:26
  the national championship, 15 and no don't get you there
• 1:02:28
  anymore because you got to win the ACC.
• 1:02:32
  Then you got to win your first playoff game, your second
• 1:02:34
  playoff game, then the national finals.
• 1:02:38
  So 15 and O don't work. I'll let you edit that to 16.
• 1:02:41
  But let's let's get it going here.
• 1:02:43
  We did this last year. We're taking it four games at a
• 1:02:46
  time from the beginning all the way to the end.
• 1:02:49
  Let's just go ahead and throw this out.
• 1:02:51
  Sheldon could not be here tonight.
• 1:02:52
  He's doing some traveling. Couldn't jump it on.
• 1:02:54
  So for these four four games, Shelton Moss, our esteemed
• 1:03:00
  colleague is saying 4 and up, four and up.
• 1:03:05
  All right, I'm going to leave this segment off because I'm
• 1:03:07
  going to let y'all have the last two segments.
• 1:03:09
  I am agreeing with Shelton. I do think we are going to go
• 1:03:13
  four and O in the first four games.
• 1:03:16
  I think the 1st 3 opponents, I don't think there is much to say
• 1:03:19
  about that, right? You know, you look at who you're
• 1:03:23
  playing, you feel we are significantly better on them.
• 1:03:27
  We would have to play literally the worst fucking game of the
• 1:03:30
  season to lose to those teams. Now the Rutgers game is going to
• 1:03:36
  be a game though. But they've made the mistake of
• 1:03:39
  getting rid of the running quarterback and they have the
• 1:03:42
  unfortunate pleasure of Planet Lane Stadium now.
• 1:03:47
  OK, I'm going to answer Grayson's questions real quick
• 1:03:51
  here. The one that worries me the most
• 1:03:55
  of the first four is Rutgers straight up.
• 1:03:58
  So that's where I am 4 no after gate.
• 1:04:02
  And that's why I'm going to let Tally go next.
• 1:04:06
  So Cali. So I will say y'all making me do
• 1:04:12
  this? I don't want you to even do this
• 1:04:14
  this year. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:04:15
  I don't even. You going to call and pick
• 1:04:17
  nothing. I don't want to pick nothing, I
• 1:04:19
  just want to go pay attention. But if I got to do it because
• 1:04:24
  Curtis has got saw contraption back here is tied to my toe,
• 1:04:30
  that's going to blow my toe off. If I don't make a the selection,
• 1:04:34
  I'll say four no on that first four games.
• 1:04:41
  I will say to Grayson's question, he said what games
• 1:04:46
  were what game worries me the most out of the first four.
• 1:04:49
  I'm probably going to say ODU. I'm not that worried about Vandy
• 1:04:56
  for whatever. I just that going to ODU thing
• 1:05:00
  kind of kind of blows me a little bit, you know what I'm
• 1:05:03
  saying? So I ain't going to say we're
• 1:05:04
  going to lose, but it kind of worries me a little bit going
• 1:05:06
  down that elevators getting messed up and stealing stuff and
• 1:05:11
  all that kind of crazy stuff happening.
• 1:05:12
  Like motions may run high and then that Ruckus game, I think
• 1:05:16
  Ruckus just lost their starting linebacker or something like
• 1:05:19
  that. Oh, they did.
• 1:05:20
  Yeah, they just lost somebody. Yeah, they just lost it.
• 1:05:23
  I think it's that starting middle linebacker they just
• 1:05:25
  lost. But if I am worried about the
• 1:05:29
  Rutgers game, like Curtis said, being at home helps all that.
• 1:05:33
  Rutgers is going to be a very physical game.
• 1:05:35
  So that'll take me into the next 4 when we talk about them.
• 1:05:38
  I think the Rutgers game gives us a little bit of headache
• 1:05:43
  going to the next game. I think we win that game, but I
• 1:05:45
  think it's going to give us a headache going to the next
• 1:05:47
  games. SO4 and O in the first four.
• 1:05:50
  Four and O Bron Siegler first four and then answer Mr.
• 1:05:53
  Winbusher's question here. Hey, hey, we're a, we're a clean
• 1:05:57
  sweep here, man. We're a clean sweep.
• 1:05:59
  I got four and O out the gate. The Rutgers game is definitely
• 1:06:05
  the one that worries me the most.
• 1:06:09
  It it's actually worrying me less than it did before.
• 1:06:11
  They named their starting quarterback the information
• 1:06:15
  about their linebacker, but that's a team that is very well
• 1:06:20
  coached. They while they don't
• 1:06:23
  necessarily have the best roster, they don't have a whole
• 1:06:27
  lot of glaring holes in their roster.
• 1:06:31
  So it's a, it's a team that is going to give you 4 quarters of
• 1:06:36
  football every time you play them.
• 1:06:38
  And that, that's where you, you know, you hope you don't have
• 1:06:41
  one of those first or second quarters where you kind of
• 1:06:44
  sleepwalk and all of a sudden you're down 10 and you're
• 1:06:47
  playing from behind against the physical team.
• 1:06:50
  That's what you don't want. But I think we still come out on
• 1:06:54
  top in that game. And, and to Tally's point, I
• 1:06:56
  think that game definitely plays a factor in, in our October, but
• 1:07:03
  I don't, I, I, I do still think we come out on top in that one.
• 1:07:06
  All right, we are now going to flip it to October.
• 1:07:09
  I know I got some people out here putting this up.
• 1:07:11
  Russia's going to be stiff. I agree.
• 1:07:13
  Now we got the middle four and this is the late September
• 1:07:16
  through October. I'm going to go to Walmart 1st.
• 1:07:20
  Sheldon says we're going to go 5 million in this stretch with
• 1:07:23
  losses to Miami and to Georgia Tech.
• 1:07:27
  So he's bookending losses at the late September and late October
• 1:07:32
  tally. Because you already kind of let
• 1:07:35
  it in there, man. Yeah, I'm, I'm going to go to,
• 1:07:37
  I'm going to go two and two as well.
• 1:07:40
  I don't even, I'm not going to pick though, because I don't
• 1:07:42
  know what games to pick on them. But I'm going to say we'll go
• 1:07:45
  500 on that just because of the travel time that we'll be going
• 1:07:50
  through. And then coming off those first
• 1:07:52
  four games, you know, Rutgers being a very physical game, you
• 1:08:00
  don't never want to think about injuries, but it's football.
• 1:08:03
  What happens? Do we have any of that?
• 1:08:05
  I think we're going to go down and beat Miami, though.
• 1:08:07
  I'll say that you can pick whatever other two losses you
• 1:08:09
  want. I think that we're going to have
• 1:08:11
  a vendetta that game. I think we're going to go beat
• 1:08:14
  Miami. And I may change some stuff
• 1:08:15
  later on, but right now I'm going to say I'm going to say
• 1:08:20
  2:00 and 2:00. You're you're picking that
• 1:08:24
  you're picking that like struggle game against Rutgers,
• 1:08:28
  revenge game against Miami and then maybe that let down
• 1:08:31
  overlook game against Stanford in that West Coast travel.
• 1:08:34
  I don't see it but. Robbie got in his head.
• 1:08:37
  Robbie got in his head last week talking about the damn bye week
• 1:08:40
  shit. Robbie got in your head, didn't
• 1:08:42
  he? Fuck Robbie man, why don't you
• 1:08:45
  do that to? Me.
• 1:08:47
  You. Know Robbie.
• 1:08:48
  You know you did. That's it.
• 1:08:50
  I OK, Brian, go ahead. Tally's at 2:00 and 2:00 in the
• 1:08:53
  middle 4. I'm at 2:00 and 2:00 as well.
• 1:08:57
  I'm getting there basically the same way Sheldon got there.
• 1:09:03
  I could talk myself in the three and one here.
• 1:09:06
  So just just to Full disclosure, I could talk myself in the three
• 1:09:09
  and one. If we weren't playing Miami, at
• 1:09:12
  Miami, coming off of Rutgers, I would give us a good shot in
• 1:09:16
  that game. I think just those factors that
• 1:09:18
  play there. And I think to, to Tally's
• 1:09:23
  point, if we, if we beat Rutgers and beat Miami, that Stanford
• 1:09:26
  game would be a, a, a prime let down game.
• 1:09:29
  But I think with a loss to Miami, you're going to, you
• 1:09:32
  know, circle the wagons a little bit, get back on track, knock
• 1:09:36
  off Stanford before you get to buy, go out and pound the fuck
• 1:09:40
  out of BC. I think Georgia Tech is going to
• 1:09:43
  be one of those, you know, kind of weird games that we always
• 1:09:48
  run into. I, I was, I was looking at that
• 1:09:52
  game and looking at another game that kind of leads off the final
• 1:09:55
  four is finally like, is that going to be that one game that
• 1:09:59
  we lose that we maybe shouldn't? That's kind of where I'm at with
• 1:10:03
  those. And I kind of I, I, I went back
• 1:10:06
  to, to Georgia Tech on that one. So let me let me get Georgia
• 1:10:11
  Tech and Miami losses two and two in the second floor.
• 1:10:14
  All right, y'all two and two, Sheldon two and two, tally two
• 1:10:18
  and two. I am not two and two.
• 1:10:22
  I am walking in here and I am saying we are going three and
• 1:10:25
  one in these next 4. But I am agreeing with you
• 1:10:29
  Brian. I think the loss is going to
• 1:10:31
  come to Miami because I think is that Roosters game is going to
• 1:10:34
  be physical. It's a short week for us now
• 1:10:38
  Let's see. Can I change my mind?
• 1:10:41
  Can we change our minds? We do weekly predictions.
• 1:10:42
  Hell yeah we can. Right.
• 1:10:44
  Because Miami's also. Based on right now information
• 1:10:47
  once we get more information. It's going to change after the
• 1:10:50
  first week we go beat the fuck out of, we're going to go beat
• 1:10:52
  the fuck out of it. And when people are going to say
• 1:10:54
  we're going to win the national championship.
• 1:10:56
  So yeah, it's going to change. It's three and one, but because
• 1:10:59
  it's it's what these guys are alluding to, that Rutgers game
• 1:11:01
  is going to be physical. If it was a Saturday, I think I
• 1:11:05
  could convince myself we could go down there and beat them.
• 1:11:07
  But unfortunately it's Friday night, so it's a short week.
• 1:11:10
  It's a flip back. Why do I think we're going to
• 1:11:13
  win the other three? Because I think after that loss,
• 1:11:15
  I think it's going to be close. And I think it's going to be one
• 1:11:18
  of those things. They're going to be like, let's
• 1:11:20
  go to California, let's stomp down the smart kids, let's get
• 1:11:23
  our break and let's go stomp down these other two kids.
• 1:11:27
  Because I think BC doesn't have a shot.
• 1:11:31
  PC really does not have a shot. They're rebuilding.
• 1:11:33
  They're trying to flip their offense to a Bill O'Brien type
• 1:11:36
  offense, which again, I'm fine. Bill O'Brien type offenses.
• 1:11:40
  I think we can handle that. And then Georgia Tech, they
• 1:11:43
  scare me, but it's something that Thomas put up.
• 1:11:47
  Oh yeah, Thomas, Yeah, I want. To put that on there, I don't.
• 1:11:51
  I'm with him. And This is why I think we beat
• 1:11:53
  Georgia Tech. I don't think they have the
• 1:11:55
  death. I don't think they have enough
• 1:11:57
  to handle us beginning to end. So we'd have to do what Brian
• 1:12:02
  said. We'd have to sleepwalk through
• 1:12:04
  1/2 to lose Jordan, 1/2 a football to lose the Georgia
• 1:12:07
  Tech. So I am three and one, all
• 1:12:11
  righty. We made it to the last four
• 1:12:13
  games of the season and I'm going to throw it up here before
• 1:12:16
  I kick to Brian Shelton has us going three and one in the last
• 1:12:21
  four games and he is saying we are going to take an L at
• 1:12:25
  Clemson or to Clemson. Brian Siegler, where are you
• 1:12:29
  standing on this? I am also three and one with a
• 1:12:33
  loss to Clemson. I think we actually go and
• 1:12:37
  handle our business in the Dome. That's going to be a kind of a a
• 1:12:43
  game that sets up the next week, though.
• 1:12:45
  I feel like that is going to be a little bit of a battle and I
• 1:12:50
  think we're going to come around even though it's a home game.
• 1:12:52
  I think we're going to give Clemson every damn thing they
• 1:12:54
  want, but I don't think we quite get it closed out in the end.
• 1:12:59
  I think we go and pound Duke pretty good.
• 1:13:01
  I don't think they're going to be a very good.
• 1:13:02
  Team pause. Pause, man, pause.
• 1:13:07
  You said we going to go pound Duke.
• 1:13:08
  That's hold on, let's do it all. Right we go, we go.
• 1:13:17
  Take it to do. It's pretty rough too.
• 1:13:21
  Ron is a three and one in the last.
• 1:13:23
  And and UVA is going to be UVAI mean we got them at home.
• 1:13:26
  We saw what we did at Lane Stadium N it's only going to get
• 1:13:29
  uglier at Lane Stadium all. Right tally.
• 1:13:34
  I got two and two here. I'm going to just go ahead and
• 1:13:37
  tell y'all I can never pick us to win in that fucking Dome
• 1:13:42
  until we win. I think we got, I mean, I don't
• 1:13:45
  know, I ain't looking at people's rosters like that for
• 1:13:48
  real so far. But from what I've seen, I think
• 1:13:51
  we got a better setup than Syracuse because they got a
• 1:13:56
  brand new coach. I always give coaches kind of
• 1:13:59
  like project like you got to have that year where you get
• 1:14:02
  acclimated to the school unless you just had a dynamite takeover
• 1:14:06
  and you know, you just going out and beating the fuck out of
• 1:14:08
  people. Like I don't see Syracuse being
• 1:14:10
  that kind of team. But I can never pick us to go to
• 1:14:14
  that Dome and do what we supposed to do no matter what
• 1:14:17
  the record is. So that's one of my losses and
• 1:14:20
  then it's going to be a toss up between Duke and and Clemson, to
• 1:14:25
  be honest with you. For me, that's just what I had.
• 1:14:29
  I can't pick which one. That may be a let down, but
• 1:14:34
  we're not losing the UVA. I'll go ahead and say that.
• 1:14:37
  So I said two and two QS and one of those schools would be a loss
• 1:14:42
  if we did it. But again, looking at the
• 1:14:45
  looking at the record, looking at the, the, the, the games and
• 1:14:48
  schedule, that's going to change real quick depending on what we
• 1:14:53
  do at first week and 2nd week. So all.
• 1:14:57
  Right, I couple things I'm going to throw before I before I make
• 1:15:00
  my final picks here, I'm going to just throw a couple things
• 1:15:03
  about numerous pieces. That's why Thomas says also they
• 1:15:07
  have a shitty defense. So y'all y'all what y'all
• 1:15:10
  picking up they? Do He's right.
• 1:15:11
  He's not wrong. The building of Chris Lester
• 1:15:14
  right here is next. Chris says four and O.
• 1:15:19
  Yeah, Chris said eight and O88. We can say 8 and O this.
• 1:15:22
  Is building towards an 11 win season so if.
• 1:15:24
  We get to 8 and O. No matter what who we play next
• 1:15:28
  in those eight weeks, there's going to be some people
• 1:15:32
  suspended off of X or Twitter or whatever you call it.
• 1:15:36
  I promise you, the universe don't want to see Virginia Tech
• 1:15:39
  be 8 and O because some of y'all already be a little bit too
• 1:15:42
  wild. And I'm saying that, Jeremy, But
• 1:15:46
  if we get to 8 and O, I'm reporting some of y'all
• 1:15:51
  motherfuckers, I'm going to be acting up.
• 1:15:56
  Oh, God, I got a couple more to hit here.
• 1:15:58
  Grayson, he got this. He got that.
• 1:16:06
  Thomas making a point. We've only played up there two
• 1:16:09
  times in the last 20 years or so.
• 1:16:11
  Actually, it's been two times in the past 20 years.
• 1:16:17
  All right, so I'm sitting here and y'all going to probably
• 1:16:20
  think I'm crazy because y'all thought I was fucking crazy last
• 1:16:23
  year and I'm just going to put it.
• 1:16:24
  Curtis, we know you're crazy. I mean.
• 1:16:27
  Y'all, you just had a life, you. Just had a big kind of dirty
• 1:16:30
  bastard like, yeah, you kind of crazy.
• 1:16:33
  Founders Brewery, if you want to sponsor us, we'll be The Dirty
• 1:16:36
  bastards over here. But I'm sitting here and I'm
• 1:16:39
  just freewheeling. I told y'all eight wins last
• 1:16:42
  year if we started the right quarterback, and I think if we
• 1:16:45
  had started the right quarterback last year, we would
• 1:16:48
  have won eight games. I don't doubt that one bit.
• 1:16:51
  I think this year we are starting the right quarterback.
• 1:16:54
  We have a veteran offensive line.
• 1:16:57
  They may not be the best that they're growing.
• 1:17:00
  We have a deep wide receiver room.
• 1:17:02
  We have a 12 back punch. Tight end room could get better,
• 1:17:06
  but at least it's some veterans. At least I'm not dealing with a
• 1:17:08
  tight end room. That is a bunch of young guys.
• 1:17:11
  They've all played significant reps and the defensive side of
• 1:17:14
  the ball that last year in certain games, it just felt like
• 1:17:20
  old times. It felt like old times where we
• 1:17:23
  were just knocking the shit out of people, stacking at will.
• 1:17:27
  So as I get here to these last four games, we have not won in
• 1:17:30
  the Dome in 26 years, 26 years. It was 1998.
• 1:17:39
  Dwight Dick was a senior. Al Clark was a quarterback.
• 1:17:43
  It's the last time we won. And if you don't recall, if
• 1:17:46
  y'all remember, NCAA back in the day used to have the craziest
• 1:17:49
  games. That was one of them, was the 98
• 1:17:53
  game that we won was one of them.
• 1:17:56
  I think they snapped that because I think it's what Chris
• 1:18:00
  Lester said right here, which Chris, I saw it.
• 1:18:04
  These kids don't know about that Dome.
• 1:18:07
  It's not up here for them. And then I sit and look at the
• 1:18:12
  other three games or two at the back end.
• 1:18:16
  I think it'd be funny as hell if we got Manny Diaz fired his
• 1:18:18
  first year. Dude, I'd I'd laugh my ass off
• 1:18:21
  at Dad and UVA. We see where they are.
• 1:18:23
  They are a mess. And then you look at Clemson and
• 1:18:30
  13 years ago, we sat there right we could not do got Jack shit
• 1:18:34
  offensively. There are certain people in the
• 1:18:37
  Virginia Tech community that swears to God they had our
• 1:18:39
  playbook on both sides. Maybe they did, maybe they
• 1:18:43
  didn't. That was that was the turning
• 1:18:46
  point of the program. It's where we've been for 13
• 1:18:51
  years. We've been wanting to get back
• 1:18:53
  there, right? We, we, we saw a glimpse of it
• 1:18:56
  in 2016 and 2017. I think it's time to flip the
• 1:19:01
  script. They beat Clemson seven in one
• 1:19:04
  in conference will get us to the ACC title game.
• 1:19:10
  Y'all just heard it. Yep do do the math.
• 1:19:12
  Do the math of what I just did is.
• 1:19:15
  That 11 and one it's. 11 and one and and I have two thoughts of
• 1:19:20
  the ACC title game. And I know I'm I know some
• 1:19:22
  people probably laughing at me in the the the comments, but
• 1:19:28
  here's my thought on that. One of two things is going to
• 1:19:31
  happen to Miami after they beat us.
• 1:19:34
  Either they are not going to lose a game head so big.
• 1:19:38
  So either they're going to be 12 and O in that game or going to
• 1:19:41
  be playing Florida State and they're going to be 11 and 1.
• 1:19:43
  So it's the latter. Because yeah, they're they're
• 1:19:46
  not. They're not going to be a stable
• 1:19:49
  and capable program for 12 games in a row.
• 1:19:54
  So and Thomas, I'm going to completely.
• 1:19:58
  If you ever seen Grayson McCall play, he ain't always cracked up
• 1:20:01
  to be. Everybody likes NC State because
• 1:20:04
  of Grayson McCall. Grace McCall plays a couple a
• 1:20:07
  couple teams down in Coastal. He ain't that good.
• 1:20:11
  He's been less since Jamie Chadwell left.
• 1:20:15
  Hold on. Yeah, I'm at 11:00 and 1:00.
• 1:20:19
  Tally is at 8:00 and 4:00, bronze at 9:00 and 3:00, and
• 1:20:22
  Shelton is at 9:00 and 3:00. So.
• 1:20:27
  Write it down, but I. Like what Tally said, we're
• 1:20:29
  going to be changing our minds all throughout this.
• 1:20:32
  And if I drank too much, that's what that's what it is.
• 1:20:35
  I mean, you got to, that's what it's about, so.
• 1:20:39
  I don't know, man. I'm excited though.
• 1:20:41
  I can say that. I can see, you know, I can see
• 1:20:47
  I. Don't see six and?
• 1:20:48
  Six, I can see Curtis's. I can see Curtis's 11:00 and
• 1:20:52
  1:00. I can see 11 and one before I
• 1:20:56
  can see six and six, barring catastrophic.
• 1:20:58
  Injuries to a significant portion of the roster, right?
• 1:21:01
  So I mean, I'm, I'm excited, I think.
• 1:21:03
  That this is going to be a fun year and again, if it does
• 1:21:08
  happen, if it does happen, I will say I have been saying for
• 1:21:12
  the last couple of years I don't know everything but I know just
• 1:21:16
  about everything so y'all need to listen to me all right?
• 1:21:20
  You lose by. You lose by a lot.
• 1:21:22
  You lose. By a little.
• 1:21:24
  You win by a little, then you win by a lot.
• 1:21:27
  I think this is our year that we win by a lot because last year I
• 1:21:30
  still feel like that was the we won by a little even though we
• 1:21:34
  won by a lot. But I'm saying those games were
• 1:21:36
  still kind of competitive. I think we just go in here and
• 1:21:39
  we just beat people this year and once I see us actually do
• 1:21:42
  that a couple of times, y'all know I'm going to get on here
• 1:21:46
  and. Start acting crazy.
• 1:21:48
  I'm going to tell you right now I'm going to get on here and
• 1:21:51
  start wearing masks. I told y'all I was going to get
• 1:21:54
  it. We did that last year though.
• 1:21:57
  We. We.
• 1:21:57
  Man, I told y'all I was going to get a tattoo.
• 1:21:59
  What I. Say I was going to get a tattoo
• 1:22:00
  if we do you did you said ACC. That's the ACC I can't remember
• 1:22:06
  matter of fact. Don't remember it.
• 1:22:08
  No. Nobody even think.
• 1:22:09
  About it, because I ain't. I don't want to do it.
• 1:22:11
  I'll go back and find all the old episodes.
• 1:22:13
  I'll go back. And find you even remember.
• 1:22:15
  What I said is that state. Of the program.
• 1:22:17
  I can't remember. I said I'd get a.
• 1:22:19
  Tattoo if we do something. But whatever that is, we need
• 1:22:24
  to. Do it, but nobody.
• 1:22:26
  Remember it? So I said if we make the ACC
• 1:22:29
  championship game, you won't get a tattoo.
• 1:22:32
  Something like that, but I'm I'm.
• 1:22:35
  Excited, man. What did Andretti say?
• 1:22:37
  Oh, he said we need to put our foot on the OD.
• 1:22:40
  U's something. Oh, he's being nice.
• 1:22:44
  Is that fart box? What?
• 1:22:45
  What is that? What's that?
• 1:22:48
  Supposed to be, yeah. We need to, we need to spell it
• 1:22:51
  out for me, Andretti. We do need to go down and do.
• 1:22:54
  Something crazy to. To ODU and Andretti ain't trying
• 1:22:58
  to get. Kicked off of YouTube Game track
• 1:23:01
  Kicked off of. YouTube all.
• 1:23:04
  Righty all right, so there's a predictions write them down do
• 1:23:08
  whatever. I mean we do this shit for fun
• 1:23:11
  y'all it's fun to sit here when we when I said this is what we
• 1:23:14
  going to do guys think about it. It's all first of all, that's
• 1:23:18
  what I meant right there. Oh, Andre.
• 1:23:23
  We love you, man. We love you man.
• 1:23:25
  Thank you for being back. Remember, we're we're we're on
• 1:23:28
  Tuesday nights about nine O clock.
• 1:23:30
  Take a break from the game and come listen to us.
• 1:23:32
  We enjoy your stuff, man. So I real quick.
• 1:23:37
  So before we wrap up everything tonight, we going to do big
• 1:23:39
  screeners because there's two games to watch this weekend.
• 1:23:42
  We already talked about them at the top of the program.
• 1:23:44
  We going to make predictions. We want some fun graphics for
• 1:23:48
  you next week when we actually have games.
• 1:23:49
  We're picking. We're just going, we're just
• 1:23:51
  going to talk about it this week and our goal.
• 1:23:53
  We also. I hope is unveiling a new part
• 1:23:58
  of big screeners. We ain't going to tell y'all
• 1:24:00
  what that is yet, but it's going to be a lot of fun with somebody
• 1:24:05
  we know very well. All right, Georgia Tech, Florida
• 1:24:09
  State, Florida State, the current line is -10 that's down
• 1:24:13
  2 1/2 points since last Friday when I looked at it.
• 1:24:16
  Which one of y'all want to predict this one?
• 1:24:18
  First, take Georgia Tech. Take the money.
• 1:24:23
  Take. The points take the points.
• 1:24:25
  Take the points. I don't know if they win, but.
• 1:24:27
  I'd take the points that line going down for a reason.
• 1:24:31
  Yeah, that if that line was like 8. 8 1/2 I think I'd I'd be
• 1:24:36
  right on it, but you're in the full 10.
• 1:24:39
  That's tough to take. All righty.
• 1:24:46
  See, I feel. Like this is one of.
• 1:24:48
  Those trick games because you feel like 10 to 14 is the right
• 1:24:51
  number, right? By the way, Virginia Tech show
• 1:24:54
  you are right. It was 2000.
• 1:24:55
  It was Michael Vick the last time that won there.
• 1:24:59
  So the last time we won, there were two Vicks on the team.
• 1:25:03
  That's a long ass time ago, right?
• 1:25:07
  Like 10 is that number, right? 10 is the perfect number for
• 1:25:09
  this game because you feel like it's going to be about 10
• 1:25:12
  points. So does Georgia Tech fuck it up
• 1:25:15
  in the end and give like a cheap one away?
• 1:25:19
  I don't think they won't because I think Brent Key, if you
• 1:25:22
  watched him play Georgia last year, he plays them a little
• 1:25:25
  closer to the best 'cause he had nothing to lose in that game and
• 1:25:30
  he should have. He should have went for some
• 1:25:33
  more risk, but he didn't. I'm with y'all Georgia Tech take
• 1:25:36
  the points. Plus it's in Ireland.
• 1:25:39
  All that weird time and shit, you don't know what's going to
• 1:25:41
  happen. Weird stadium.
• 1:25:42
  All right, next one, new ACC member SMU travels to Reno, NV
• 1:25:49
  to play to the Wolfpack of Nevada.
• 1:25:52
  This is a tougher one. SMU 25 1/2 points.
• 1:25:58
  They are laying Wolfpack that's. A lot of points, man.
• 1:26:03
  That's a lot of points. Like I don't care.
• 1:26:05
  Who it is? Why is that even a?
• 1:26:06
  #25 1/2. That ain't even a number.
• 1:26:10
  You know what cool. The only cool 25 that was was
• 1:26:13
  Barry. Buns.
• 1:26:14
  Like 25 is not a number that I want to roll with.
• 1:26:20
  I'll take SMU in the points. You know why y'all know y'all
• 1:26:23
  many points Nevada averaged last year on offense.
• 1:26:26
  How many? Like 17 y'all know how much S?
• 1:26:29
  Y'all saw? SMU play, if you try to play a
• 1:26:31
  stick, they can score, I think. I think that's.
• 1:26:35
  Like a. 5614 game, if it's not I, I, I think it's an absolute
• 1:26:40
  blowout. SMU's got some cooking.
• 1:26:44
  I, I, I also think, I don't think that's a game we can gauge
• 1:26:47
  SMU by. Even if they blow the doors off
• 1:26:50
  them, it's a bagging. Now if they struggle with them,
• 1:26:52
  that'll tell us more than anything that first game.
• 1:26:56
  I think it's going to tell us about those teams a lot.
• 1:26:58
  So yeah, I think it's so it's hard to really gauge a a ton.
• 1:27:03
  On the first game, but I think if you see SMU go out there and
• 1:27:08
  it's a really close game, like less than two scores, you can
• 1:27:14
  derive something from. That I think anything.
• 1:27:17
  I, I, I don't think they have to cover for, for you to say that
• 1:27:21
  SMU is, is as we expected. But I think if it is in that
• 1:27:25
  like 10 to 14 point range for a win or, you know, God forbid
• 1:27:28
  they, they go out there and, you know, lay an egg and lose, I
• 1:27:32
  think that'll tell us more than a blowout or just, you know,
• 1:27:35
  somewhere ±5 from that spread. Yeah, I think SMU probably if I
• 1:27:41
  had to. Look at it week 1.
• 1:27:43
  Defenses usually are a little bit farther along than offenses.
• 1:27:48
  I would. Think SMU probably would win
• 1:27:51
  that game by about 21 points, but I would be scared to put say
• 1:27:55
  they're going to win by 26, you know, 4 touchdowns.
• 1:27:59
  I don't know. So I would, I'm taking the Wolf
• 1:28:04
  Pack. What about that first game?
• 1:28:07
  What are we going to learn? From what do y'all think we
• 1:28:08
  learned about those teams? Because I think that's, I would,
• 1:28:12
  I wish that that would have just been a stateside game because
• 1:28:14
  that noon kick is just brutal. Yeah, the the location I think
• 1:28:19
  in time kind of. Screws with the logistics
• 1:28:22
  because both teams are having abnormal logistics and that it's
• 1:28:26
  not just like standard stateside neutral site logistics.
• 1:28:29
  Like you're, you're taking cross pond flights, you know, you're
• 1:28:34
  playing at a completely different time.
• 1:28:37
  Like you're basically playing, you know, how many was it?
• 1:28:40
  8 hours behind, seven hours behind.
• 1:28:44
  So, yeah. So it's a, it's a completely
• 1:28:46
  different way of managing an away game or a neutral site game
• 1:28:52
  than than if it would be here. Even if you're playing, you
• 1:28:55
  know, out at the Rose Bowl or something.
• 1:28:57
  I mean, it's still a completely different scenario for them to
• 1:29:00
  manage. So it's going to be interesting
• 1:29:02
  to see who ends up doing well in that game.
• 1:29:07
  I don't think you can derive a whole lot from it other than
• 1:29:12
  kind of seeing where the holes are in each of those teams,
• 1:29:15
  whether it's, you know, certain position groups and things like
• 1:29:17
  that. I think that's where you'll kind
• 1:29:19
  of see the most that you can take away and, you know, move
• 1:29:22
  into another week and say, all right, well, we saw holes here.
• 1:29:25
  We saw holes there. I'm just interested to see what
• 1:29:29
  Florida. State looks like.
• 1:29:30
  Like, they really have to revamp who they are.
• 1:29:33
  You know, they lost, not saying it can't, but we kind of seen
• 1:29:37
  how Novell did when he got there, how he build it up.
• 1:29:41
  He wasn't just like a flash in the pan coach.
• 1:29:43
  Like it took him a couple of years to get it to where he
• 1:29:46
  wanted. And then those players that he
• 1:29:48
  brought in, you know, some of them are in the league now.
• 1:29:52
  You know, the quarterback that that that he he built that
• 1:29:55
  program on his program on, you know, the wide receivers that he
• 1:29:59
  brought in things like that. And I'm not saying that he
• 1:30:02
  didn't bring in more good players.
• 1:30:03
  I don't know that roster that great to know.
• 1:30:06
  But I will say I'm not as high on.
• 1:30:12
  Florida State as I was. Last year, I just feel like
• 1:30:16
  looking at him from what he's done in the past, he looks like
• 1:30:19
  a coach that he'll build up a little bit more than OK, I'm
• 1:30:23
  just going to retool that that. Will tell the story and I think
• 1:30:28
  that game will tell the story. About both those teams and how
• 1:30:30
  we can project them going forward.
• 1:30:32
  So, yeah, All right. Anything else out there?
• 1:30:37
  Anything breaking? Nothing.
• 1:30:39
  I know of nothing yet, man. Nothing yet.
• 1:30:44
  All right, somebody call. Funtell see if he got any more
• 1:30:46
  recruits. He's getting fucking two wide
• 1:30:49
  receivers a week so call him and see how he doing tonight.
• 1:30:54
  I. I I ain't doing that.
• 1:30:55
  That man's in camp, that man. Probably still in the office
• 1:30:57
  right now, working right? You watch your practice.
• 1:31:01
  Tape for tomorrow. You're damn right.
• 1:31:02
  He is. All right.
