The fields for the does we don't even grow has been my monitors
0:27
cleaning shit off, you'll stay cool.
0:30
This house is falling down. The beach Bellas are broken
0:33
down, it Granville mother mold of Steel.
0:37
This stuck in a trap. Welcome back.
0:53
We're podcasts. Curtis Wilson, didn't over here,
0:58
Ryan's legal over here. What's going on buddy?
1:01
Buddy day 5 quarantine. Oh man, how's it going to your
1:11
house? You got a decent setup.
1:22
I've got a monitor, I've got my laptop.
1:24
I'm I'm almost business as usual every day.
1:29
You know me and Brian said In the past, my wife's a teacher.
1:32
So she's teaching our two sons, she's got little lessons little
1:36
things, every day for them, we go outside and play, we eat
1:40
dinner, you know, I lost going pretty well.
1:46
How about you guys not to bad? Probably a little bit of the
1:49
same, to be honest. I don't quite have the setup,
1:52
you do. I'm at the dining room table,
1:55
most of the day, which is comfortable for the most part in
1:59
terms of Working. But the actual seat itself.
2:05
You know, your boy gets up in the afternoon and all the things
2:07
like, oh man, I need to walk around and stretch for a little
2:09
bit here. It's not that comfortable.
2:12
But other than that, I'm doing. All right.
2:14
Like like you said my wife's a teacher to so she's got little
2:17
lessons going on for my son and you're mixing that in with some
2:22
some fun stuff and mix them with some some time outside.
2:25
So at least we had some nice weather the last couple days so
2:27
that's made a little bit more manageable.
2:30
Oh I Absolutely gorgeous. Weather you know what sucks
2:35
right now about doing this podcast today is Broad.
2:37
You're supposed to you're going to shoot over to the house.
2:40
Today, we're going to do a face-to-face recording session.
2:46
They were going to head up to Hurley's, and grab beer and
2:48
wings and watch the madness. And, you know how things in the
2:52
last 10 days have just absolutely, you know, changed in
2:56
this world. So that's the Yeah, Wednesday
3:02
last week we invite you guys to join us today.
3:04
And you know now we're talking about literally right after we
3:07
drop that the world completely change.
3:09
So you know, we're dealing here, but it is a sad day that, you
3:15
know, this day is one of the days that we kind of look
3:17
forward to every year and, you know, that's been taken from us
3:20
a bit but obviously, under, you know, understandable
3:24
circumstances here but absolutely, no, you feel bad
3:27
that you're missing out on it, you feel bad, and you feel bad
3:30
for The bars and the restaurants, especially, you
3:34
know, we were going to go to Hurley's.
3:35
And, you know, I was I was watching channel 12 news today
3:41
and they were talking to whole team Who's down the fans and got
3:43
talked about how marches one of their biggest months.
3:45
And, you know, you feel for those guys because this is the
3:48
fun times, man, if you remember last year Harley's, I think
3:51
about 20, people of our group came out, which is decent
3:54
number. But when we left, we're going
3:56
through the bar area. Oh, yeah.
3:58
Excuse me. Oh God.
4:01
Over. Yeah, tell me that's that's
4:03
that's the crew did not. We usually we like to start
4:06
early. We usually take the day off and
4:08
show up at noon, get some food by the time, the first game tips
4:11
off, you know, we've got a beer in hand.
4:14
Sometimes we got a nap in hand and we just kick back for about
4:18
five hours and just watch all these early games and, you know,
4:21
hang out and everything. So that's kind of our role is
4:24
usually by the time we leave, that's when the rest of the work
4:27
crowd. Showing up to do the same thing
4:30
we've been doing for Five hours. So it's it's crazy.
4:33
You know, it's wall-to-wall and it's sad that they're going to
4:36
miss out on all that business. And, you know, speaking of
4:40
Hurley's to shout out to hourlies for always being such a
4:43
good host for us. And we've been doing that at
4:46
their spot for at least six plus years now.
4:50
So, you know, and we've never thought one day about changing
4:54
it. So it's the, it's the place to
4:56
be and they're still doing delivery.
5:01
And take out will pick up orders.
5:03
So sir, anybody you guys in the RV a area, want some good food,
5:07
some wings, some burgers, definitely check them out.
5:10
Yeah yeah right I got nothing this week.
5:13
We got Tavern burgers and wings on Tuesday night from there
5:16
because because me and my wife both needed that fixed because
5:19
this is our normal. We ramp up and go there more
5:21
than a few times in the spring. But in general guys, listening
5:27
out there wherever you may be our VA whatever part of the
5:30
world, you Maybe. And if you're not on full
5:33
lockdown, local establishments, such as that support on most of
5:38
these guys are doing delivery and curbside.
5:41
You know, the waitress that came out and delivered hours, she's
5:45
coming out and, like, gloves and it's like, you don't have to
5:47
sign your receipt or anything, but, you know, of course, I
5:51
didn't let the pretty generous tip because this is their
5:54
livelihood, but go out and support those places.
5:57
I think me and my wife is discuss tonight or tomorrow.
6:00
We're probably going to get Livery from one of the local
6:02
pizza joints. So I really encourage folks to
6:05
do that during this time by all means social distancing but
6:10
she'll try to support those businesses that are staying open
6:13
that you know this this hits them.
6:14
Absolutely absolutely curtains. Since we're on the subject.
6:18
Yeah. What's the go to wing sauce
6:20
somewhere? At least for this guy was a few.
6:22
Okay. Okay.
6:24
I'm a chili lime man. I'm with chili lime.
6:27
That's that's that's number two for me.
6:29
I actually I got Buck you and chili lime.
6:31
I'm so going to get off. No man.
6:35
Hey man, this cattle makes you happy, doesn't it?
6:39
Tom Brady's not in the AFC. Thank God man.
6:42
Thank God. Nope not anymore.
6:46
That's the big one. I'm sure all my my Buffalo fans
6:51
and jets fans and dolphins fans out there and thankful that they
6:55
actually have a chance to win the division now maybe, but
6:59
maybe and less That's the secret sauce is mostly Bill.
7:03
And then moved in, they still might still be in trouble for a
7:07
few more years. Exactly.
7:10
But hey, you know, he moved some of our Hokies moved to man up
7:15
Kendall, Fuller, going back to the Redskins.
7:17
Back to DC 41, back to the 40 million bucks over four years in
7:26
know, being local. This is actually a prudent good
7:29
move for the Redskins. I'm I'm shocked.
7:32
Yeah, so they go out, they make a move, not only one that is,
7:37
you know, smart from picking a guy that is versatile that can,
7:43
you know, play in the slide but also play outside to help them.
7:47
Thank you too. And, you know, got him for a
7:50
pretty good price and you know, you got some Hometown flavor
7:53
there. So you're going to probably get
7:55
a few more butts in the seats as a as a side effect, so it's
8:00
really no, nope. Planning about that deal for
8:02
them. Yeah and he wasn't the only
8:04
hope. He was to get inside with the
8:06
Skins. Logan Thomas tight end.
8:11
Wait that's that's the all-time leading passer.
8:15
Yeah. Okay, let's just we can go
8:18
there, you know what, let's have enough food in the future where
8:21
we talk about guys who got moved and you're like why do we move
8:24
these guys to different positions, but not Logan, got
8:27
signed good for him. Give that guy all the credit in
8:30
the world. And you know was drafted fourth
8:32
round by the Cardinals is a cutie Prospect when Bruce Arians
8:36
kind of said it's not going to work out like that didn't wind
8:39
didn't complain started working at tight end and I think Luke
8:44
has been in the league. What?
8:46
Seven years now seven or eight years?
8:48
Yeah the things that are taught in Blacksburg about hey if you
8:58
can't make it here do whatever you can do to make it.
9:00
You talk about Candles versatility.
9:02
Unfortunately, he made that the back break in absolute mine.
9:07
Honour, he was playing. Yeah, free safety and slaw.
9:11
He rotated up and play free safety and picked us.
9:13
And dudes, baller always has been.
9:17
Oh oh dude blah, blah, blah, Tara, Tara TC get them great to
9:29
hear that because when all the moves were being met, Made you
9:31
know where I'm sitting here, working listening to the radio
9:34
and people are announcing and I'm like, almond cams going to
9:37
go there. James know how it's going to be
9:39
are ships, kept falling and nothing really started happening
9:42
and all of a sudden they're like yeah we're going to need Tyra's
9:45
sellers started. Seems like you know, he's gonna
9:47
be at least going to be a transition quarterback for them
9:52
depending on what they do. It either in this year's draft
9:54
or next year's draft give something long term for that
9:58
position but you know we're talking about probably Season
10:01
maybe two that he has an opportunity to go out there and
10:03
show what he can do and go from there.
10:05
So, you know, kudos to him and, you know, he's been, he sticks
10:09
with it. And I mean, the big thing that I
10:12
mean, if you're looking for a transitional quarterback, a guy
10:15
like him, that does not turn the ball over that has the ability
10:18
to make plays with his legs. I mean that's that's going to
10:22
definitely be an asset. I mean, he's not going to go out
10:23
there and throw 300 350 a game, but he takes care of the ball.
10:28
He can make big plays in the legs.
10:30
When When the play breaks down. So I think they're going to be
10:33
okay. And the underrated thing that
10:37
people will that doesn't like to mention he wanted Buffalo.
10:40
He he was the quarterback that led them to their first playoff
10:44
appearance since we were in high school.
10:48
Let's just keep that on there. They would not in seven that
10:51
year and could have been better but you know they're old those.
10:55
It McDermott was the head coach then right.
10:57
He's like no we're gonna play Nate Peterman from pit and make
11:00
Peterman five interceptions and 1/2.
11:18
Trivial Henderson. Yes, Cody off-the-cuff, comment
11:23
from Mike Farrell the other day. You know, he was talking about,
11:29
kind of the what he was feeling kind of the temperature in the
11:32
room. As far as treyvion Henderson's
11:36
Recruitment and he's like, it seems like at this point
11:39
because, you know, Clemson is out.
11:41
And it looks like it's going to be kind of Ohio State and maybe
11:45
a couple of those other guys, but but pretty much We're kind
11:48
of neck and neck with Ohio State at this point, and he's giving
11:52
us kind of a HomeTown favorite not here at this point if he had
11:55
to go with his gut. So that's kind of a, that's a
11:58
big change in the momentum compared to where we were
12:01
probably about a month ago where you know, everybody thought it
12:04
was going to be Clemson and all of a sudden, they're not even in
12:08
the in the top eight there. So, yeah.
12:11
All the other thing of high estate, Evan, prior pretty
12:15
highly rated guy. Yeah, there are all these 145
12:18
This class. Yeah, he's good too.
12:21
Don't don't don't get me wrong. But again, it's kind of the
12:24
domino effect. I'm still a hokey a heartbreak.
12:27
So until I see that Ela last Sunday in December, I'll hold my
12:32
breath, but that's looking good, man.
12:35
We've been starting a couple times we can.
12:38
We don't, we do more than that. Things have changed, there's no
12:49
spring game. So this is kind of going to be
12:51
are positional unit grading until felt.
12:56
This was going to be our breakdown of where we are right
12:58
now and that's going to be where we are for the remainder of the
13:01
offseason. So Cliff exactly.
13:05
So we're going to be hitting all groups with the exception of
13:09
Specialists and the reason I say I'm not going to say much about
13:12
specialist is you have to really entrenched guys Prime Johnson
13:17
consistent. We've seen, he can make the long
13:19
kick and Oscar Bradburn is one of the best Putters in the
13:21
country. So we didn't go into those guys
13:25
clearly in a couple years. When we do this, we might be
13:27
going in because as those guys graduate, the position will be
13:30
given open. So let's start today.
13:32
Brian. We're going to start on the
13:34
defensive side of the ball. I'm going to start with the
13:37
corner unit. I give my grade of that unit, as
13:42
a B+. And first of all, I feel just
13:47
great about it. Our top three guys Farley and
13:50
wall or absolute Ballers it showed in the stats.
13:53
It showed in their play on the field last year.
13:58
Both ranked so high and numerous statistical categories.
14:03
But then the third guy don't forget about it maimoni.
14:05
Chapman was a freshman last year and he really provided that help
14:08
Off the Bench and he shows that he can belong on that field at
14:14
least for me. The reason I go B plus is that
14:19
it's the depth that scares me and I was hoping for spring
14:22
practice man. You know guys like web and Marie
14:26
and the dick Thompson to get a chance against like tray and
14:30
Tavian Robinson on the other side of the ball but we're not
14:32
going to death that. Now I'm going to say this, my
14:36
opinion is it's just one of those guys.
14:39
It doesn't have to be all three of them but it just one of those
14:41
guys can become a contributor. This groups in a battle coming
14:48
now. Something I saw me and you
14:51
talked about it when we were Channel phone call couple weeks
14:53
ago, you notice Lapine Rudolph is not listed as a wide
14:58
receiver. He brought that to my attention.
15:00
That was like, okay, let's not sure about that.
15:04
But okay, okay, but he's in, but again, that's going to be fall
15:07
Camp stuff and also Dorian strong coming in.
15:12
Can they do stuff in their red shirt in their first years as a
15:14
redshirt year? We do Don't know yet.
15:15
But again, I'm going to be plus for this group.
15:18
What about you? I'm actually going to go a solid
15:22
low, a on this. Not, not quite as easy -, but,
15:26
you know, if I had to put a number on it, I probably say
15:28
like 92 93, okay? And the big thing for me is
15:35
similar to what you said, I mean, we're talking about
15:38
bringing back, probably, The best one to Tandem that corner
15:42
back in the conference. And I think for me that's big,
15:46
that's big, you know, Frontline. We're talking about having two
15:49
of the best guys that can do it in the conference.
15:53
I was impressed by what Chapman did last year as a freshman.
15:58
She showed promise and spell Duty he showed promise when he
16:00
had to come on to take over when when Farley was out.
16:06
So I mean he did get burned a couple times yes but I think,
16:10
you know that's going to come with with the experience and
16:13
playing against more of those number one, guys.
16:14
And I think I think the biggest thing for me is I think Murray
16:17
is going to be a guy that we can depend on as well.
16:20
And that's why I don't quite have quite as many probably
16:24
concerns about depth. As you, I feel like we've got
16:26
four guys that we can probably probably lean on it.
16:29
I think Murray being versatile. Being able to play the nickel
16:32
corner and being able to play outside is going to be good for
16:35
us. Awesome.
16:37
All right, I'll let you take the next group.
16:39
All right, so we're going. We're going safeties.
16:41
Next, we're moving on to safeties.
16:44
And, you know, for safety's, I'm going to give them a solid
16:47
b-plus. Mainly because I feel like
16:49
Frontline, we've got some really, really talented players
16:53
that can do some special things. I mean, we've got Divine Diablo
16:56
out there and then we've got your Devon Hunter Hunter,
17:00
finally, stepping in 44, Reggie there.
17:03
And I think that's going to be the key because I think it's in
17:05
terms of top-end town in terms of just what he can do on the
17:09
field. And I'm really excited to see
17:12
what with Devin Hunter can do this year.
17:15
And for me, that's what kind of takes it over the top and you
17:18
know, we still got Tyree out there that can, you know, help
17:21
out on the back end, if there's injuries and they the biggest
17:23
concern that I might have is that, you know, Diablo has been
17:27
banged up at times through his career and that that's really my
17:31
bigger concern, but in terms of just Frontline telling, I feel
17:34
like we're, you know, we're pretty solid there.
17:38
Yeah, I'ma be on this also through tomorrow Connor and at
17:44
the nickel whip, whatever you want to call.
17:45
Yeah that's definitely going to get a plane to the puzzle there
17:49
because that position just as much of a DB as it is a
17:53
linebacker. Yeah.
17:55
And to me I'm because Divine and him have shown in game, they can
17:59
just do it in and out. Just good play In and Out
18:03
devils. Look goodness spot chances but
18:07
now He's got to do it in and out, week in week out.
18:10
I think the potential for him to do, it's there, I really do.
18:15
But, you know, right now to me, you mentioned Tyree Rogers.
18:18
Tyree Rogers is our only guy as a back up again, duck, worries
18:23
me more than anything you're going.
18:26
That's going to be a lot of my talk about I'm depth because,
18:29
you know, it's just true that you see teams and they're really
18:32
good. And then one guy goes down and
18:34
it doesn't fall apart, but it isn't what it could be.
18:36
Yeah. I think that without some of our
18:38
defense has in the past where we had a defense, we felt really
18:42
good about and neither, you know, guy goes down with we have
18:46
that spell of like two or three years in a row, we had to
18:48
lisfranc injuries that yeah, completely derailed our defense
18:52
at key positions. Yeah.
18:55
The other piece with this group that I put it in a be enough to
18:58
be plus, is I think was in Reggie.
19:02
I think his leadership skills on there is another big piece to
19:06
me. I'm going to throw one thing out
19:09
there and I want to see how you feel about this, okay?
19:11
Didi Ferguson He's listed with the linebacker group.
19:15
But if you look at this bill, he's about 61 about 2:15.
19:19
I'm wondering if he is going to get and he and I think he's a
19:22
redshirt freshman. If my mom doesn't fail me.
19:25
I wonder if he's kind of moved over to say, hey, let's try you
19:28
at Rover or sort of whip in certain situations because of
19:32
his size and because of how the linebacker positions looking We
19:37
also got can't coming out from Duvall.
19:41
I think if it's projects plays good people walk or talk is one
19:48
of those guys step up and become that second death P.
19:50
I think he's redshirting unless he comes in and blows it away,
19:53
it can't because it's going to be very interesting piece this
19:56
year, no Spring ball. The Freshman isn't have a chance
19:58
to come in and say, hey dude, you're not ahead.
20:01
Nobody's ahead of you. Yeah.
20:03
That's that's the big thing is like, you know, there's going to
20:06
be some positives in that in depth.
20:07
Freshmen are going to get kind of equal opportunity to really
20:10
go out there and show what they've got conversely.
20:14
I mean the coaches are going to have to spend more rep, seeing
20:18
what they have from from these guys without, you know, without
20:22
knowing they're already solid with some of the maturing guys
20:26
are already on the roster. So it'll be interesting trying
20:29
to get settled that out and see how that ends up impacting camp.
20:33
But I mean, the good news is that it's not just us you know
20:36
everyone is The same situation so it's not like it's something
20:40
that's a unique handicap for us. So I think we'll see how it
20:45
shakes out. Like you said, I think things
20:48
like that. Where position changes and try
20:51
and guys a different spots, you may actually see less of that
20:56
just because we don't necessarily have time to
20:58
experiment unless unless you've got a guy that you already know
21:02
can handle that role. Yeah for sure.
21:05
All right, well I kind of set up what we're going to Into next
21:08
with Dean Ferguson because the linebackers group a borderline
21:13
and a plus for me, I mean, we're deep.
21:17
These guys are talented. They all have on field
21:20
experience. We have good leadership at this
21:25
and the way I kind of feel about it as we look at them, Brian.
21:28
And I'm going to let you kind of go on this.
21:31
We have a chance to be so dynamic because we have some
21:35
really Dynamic skill sets. And, Backer between rook and
21:40
Dax. And, you know, Barn Barn of
21:45
Tisdale and Keisha an artist. I mean, this group today for me.
21:51
Yeah, day for me as well. And those are the five that I
21:54
highlighted as well. Be the interesting thing is
21:56
going to be, you know, I think we're talking about, you know,
22:00
Richard acts, we're talking about Keyshawn and Tisdale and
22:05
then we got Barner that's kind of a I don't know what we're
22:08
going to do with them in terms. I think he's going to be good
22:11
for depth, but I'm interested to see if we get creative with how
22:16
we deploy him just because of his, you know, length and size
22:20
and still ability to run around pretty good too.
22:24
So let me admit run this. Yeah.
22:27
Go back to Daddy's freshman year.
22:30
Is that what you're thinking with bar know what?
22:32
He's almost stand up like that, he's got a whip position and
22:35
he's moving back and forth side to side.
22:37
Whatever. Wherever, the wherever the tight
22:41
end isn't he is? Yeah, I think they could deploy
22:44
in the him in that way. Absolutely just because he does
22:48
have that linked and in some ways I mean with his he's
22:51
actually longer than the what Daddy was at that time.
22:54
I mean your daddy you similar in size but you know, burners got a
22:59
little bit more length and like I said, we've been moving to
23:01
some of that in terms of how we recruiting pass rushers.
23:05
So it'll be interesting if that's part of Of the puzzle as
23:08
well. Yeah.
23:10
This group I feel, is there going to be the linchpin on that
23:13
defense and I think having Jackson Richard being the older
23:17
guys in the middle, you know, and that said it in the thing.
23:22
They both lead different racial Arts dog in taxes allowed.
23:26
I got a feeling when those two guys bar at the rest of the
23:29
defense, they will listen. And that's why I'm less
23:32
concerned about, as you said earlier, with the Reggie,
23:35
departure, own terms of leadership, I mean, Not only has
23:39
Diablo been doing the playing that position in the secondary
23:42
for a while. You know, we're starting to get
23:44
a lot more senior in the secondary.
23:47
And I think with guys in the middle like Dax and Richard, you
23:52
know, there's not going to be a problem with with leadership
23:55
getting a lot, guys. A line where they need to be
23:57
getting the assignments out there, getting the calls out.
23:59
So I don't think that's going to be a problem with those two on
24:02
the field plus Diablo, there in the secondary great.
24:06
All right, Bronson Let's go to the next group guys that you
24:09
block the lot. What do you think of the
24:11
defensive tackles for this upcoming year?
24:13
I tell you, man, I feel really good about the defensive tackles
24:17
and the big thing that we're talking about right now is that
24:22
I felt the exact opposite this time last year.
24:26
I had no idea what to feel about the defensive tackle position
24:31
going into going into Camp, last year, going into spring practice
24:36
last year because We're so so thin.
24:40
And, you know, we had some, some junior college guys, coming in.
24:44
All right. So, the biggest thing that I
24:45
like about this unit is going to be the depth that we have.
24:50
And like I said, last year, I was doing the complete opposite
24:54
frame of mind. At this time of the year.
24:57
You know, we had Jaden company ham and Deshawn Crawford come in
25:01
and they really pay dividends right out, the gate, just having
25:04
their experience in there. We got those.
25:07
Guys back this year. So the other guys want to talk
25:10
about is no real Pollard. I feel really good about his
25:14
production from year one and I feel like we're going to get
25:16
some more out of him this year but the but the guy that I'm
25:19
really high on is Josh fuga. This guy's been a beast in the
25:23
weight room. This offseason.
25:26
He's been kind of attached to the older guys at the hip and
25:29
just trying to soak in everything and I think that's
25:33
going to pay dividends when we come out this year.
25:37
I think he's We're going to be a guy that if just rotationally
25:41
he's going to make some noise just because of his size and
25:44
athleticism and what he brings to the table.
25:47
Yeah, 100%. I'm with you on the same Grade B
25:50
plus because of the depth human and Crawford starting they're
25:55
solid, they're solid. They do their jobs then last
25:59
year you mentioned Paulo red Mario Kendricks to the Freshman
26:02
also has pretty good Open Season and the one thing I want
26:05
everybody to remember out there these Guys came in in July, they
26:10
weren't there in June January. So they were doing that without
26:14
College weight program. Which is, I know, you know,
26:16
Brian from doing it. It's a big deal in these cases.
26:19
Absolutely wrong. You mentioned fuka Cunningham.
26:22
Remember he played a few games, but got banged up and was out.
26:25
Yep, but both those guys are about to 305 range, so that
26:29
gives us some girth in the middle.
26:30
We're playing more of a power run team.
26:33
We might be mixing up them more than the other guys.
26:38
And you know, I love Charlie Wiles.
26:41
Charlie was a great coach for many years but I'm kind of
26:44
excited to see what Bill Turner can do with this group because
26:48
they are more experiences. There are some, you know,
26:51
there's some chances to be dynamic in this group.
26:54
What about you? Yeah, the biggest thing, I the
26:58
reason I'm high on most of these defensive lineman is going to be
27:00
the coaching change. And now the having the the depth
27:05
and the experience that we didn't have Really the last two
27:08
years but in particular we've had this problem for a bit so
27:14
I'm really excited to see what he can do.
27:16
I think that that's going to be where we see the most dividends
27:20
get paid off. Is that you've got tear length?
27:23
It's going to be more of the guy that is X's and O's can break
27:28
things down. Can bring some unique ways of
27:31
attacking the ovens of wine. And then you got obviously tap
27:34
is going to play a role with some of the inside guys, too.
27:36
But I think you he'll be a You'll be more strictly
27:39
defensive ends but I think he'll play a role with some of the
27:40
inside guys, just because there is that overlap and I think
27:44
those two guys just the work ethic of cap and then the X's
27:48
and O's and just the the knowing how to attack an offensive line,
27:51
with tear link is going to be a really big combination.
27:54
It's and we're going to see probably a big step in the
27:57
output from this unit. Awesome.
28:00
All right. Well we're going to move the
28:01
defensive ends backs and help. Maybe I should just change my
28:05
grade for this one just because Darryl Tapp Is going to be
28:08
coaching up those guys to Abby, but I've got it at a see.
28:12
Don't don't hate me defensive ends if you guys listen to this
28:14
or people that love these guys, because first of all, one reason
28:19
is, we're already down to player Devon beckton.
28:22
I hope this clears up quick, he comes back.
28:26
You know, Emmanuel Belmar leader of this group.
28:29
He doesn't blow you away with everything, he's solid, he's
28:32
steady, which is sometimes what you need.
28:36
But there's a couple guys. Like, Zion, the Bose is missing
28:39
a huge opportunity to spring. It really sucks for him.
28:43
Jalen Griffin showed some flashes last year, but again, he
28:46
still transitioning. But you know, and you've got Eli
28:51
Adams, some production. He'll definitely have a role.
28:59
What do you think of this group? What's your grade Brown?
29:02
All right, so for this unit, I'm giving them a b and part of its
29:07
going to be B, we got an additional year with these guys
29:11
in the offseason. I know we're not going to get us
29:13
a full spring here but they've had a full mostly a full
29:18
offseason workout program and I think they're going to get
29:21
better. They're going to get stronger,
29:23
they're going to get faster and you couple that like I said with
29:26
these coaching changes and I feel like that's going to be a
29:30
recipe to just get some additional fire out, though.
29:33
It gets some additional usage. I mean you know we're talking
29:35
about Your Belmar garbage out there, you got the leaders, but
29:42
then you also got, like you said, Jalen Griffin showed some
29:46
flashes. And I think the biggest thing
29:48
coming in is Alec Bryant and how they're going to deploy him.
29:52
Because I think he's at least one of the guys that I think is
29:56
going to have potential, not to take a redshirt year in 2020.
30:01
And I think that's because not only is he going to pay some
30:05
dividends in terms of getting After the quarterback because
30:09
he's got a good combination of speed and size, but because he's
30:12
got that speed and size on passing Downs.
30:14
You can slide him into a three technique and let him rush the
30:17
passer from there. So that's going to bring a whole
30:20
new element to what we do. So I'm looking to add his
30:24
versatility coupled with, you know, our veteran guys getting
30:29
an additional year in the system and getting additional year in
30:32
the weight room. And then just what we can really
30:35
deploy from a coaching standpoint to really These guys,
30:38
after the quarterback better. Yeah, and, and one guy you
30:42
mentioned in and I forgot to but I think garment is really key
30:44
for this group this year. If you remember last year, they
30:47
talked about how good a camp he had and then he comes in the
30:51
first game of the year, he hurts his collarbone against Boston
30:54
College. He comes back and plays, but you
30:57
kind of wondered you played against these guys and I think
31:01
about where the collarbone is and I see what defensive ends
31:04
do, break your collarbone or you know, Even fracture in a way.
31:09
How much is that going to hurt you and what you do as a
31:12
defensive end? And I really think he's going to
31:15
be a kick if he can stay healthy, he always kind of like,
31:19
you know, lined up a little wider than Bellmore and you love
31:24
Alec Bryant. Yeah, yeah.
31:37
Or not. And, you know, maybe this group
31:40
is the group that just surprises there again, my see group.
31:44
So, you know, yeah. Like I said, I'm giving them a
31:47
solid B. And like I said, mainly it's
31:49
because of the coaching changes and then, like I said, the, the
31:53
additional year of seasoning and what ABI thing can bring the
31:57
table. And I mean, that's not no
31:59
discount to the other two guys that are coming in for us.
32:02
But I just think in terms of instant impact, you know, Alec
32:05
Bryant because of his versatility and sighs right out
32:08
the gate. Just kind of gives us a little
32:10
more where I think with guys already somewhat entrenched.
32:14
He's the only guy that's going to kind of break through that
32:16
that ceiling right away. Very all right, I'm going to set
32:20
up one for you, man. We're going to move over to the
32:22
offense, your bread and butter. Give me your grade on the 0
32:25
line, 0 line. So you're probably going to be
32:28
surprised that this one I'm going a - whoo and okay don't
32:34
don't take that harshly offensive lineman that's I'm
32:37
giving you a compliment here. You have the most unique and
32:41
good problem that you can have. You've got about nine guys that
32:46
potentially could start. And now the problem that we have
32:50
is that we got to get not only the most talented 5 out there
32:53
but those were astounded. Five need to gel in a way that
32:57
the guys from last year were able to do down the stretch and
33:01
how our running game started. Opening up a whole lot more down
33:04
the stretch and you're having to do that with With now, no spring
33:08
practice those spring game and potentially a protracted
33:13
offseason. So that's going to be my only
33:16
concern and that's why I went a minus here.
33:19
It, you know, when you're talking about like cornerback or
33:23
safety. Yeah.
33:25
There's some, you know, reciprocation between the units
33:29
there but more or less your kind of, you know, you take care of
33:33
your business there. Buddy else takes care of their
33:35
business often. One.
33:38
It's got to work as one complete unit at all times.
33:43
And if any one player is not where they need to be, even if
33:47
everybody else is doing their job, the play gets blown up.
33:50
So until we see how that gels and how, you know who's going to
33:55
be playing centers? And we playing, like I feel like
33:57
tackles are more or less set depending on what happens at
34:03
right tackle. But the interior it could be You
34:07
know, four or five different potential scenarios there and
34:11
depending on what those scenarios are, we could be
34:13
having one of the guys that started, you know, 10 plus games
34:17
last year and up redshirting, just because we don't need nine
34:21
or ten lineman every week. So, you know, that's the big
34:27
thing for me and that's why when a - I just think, I think this
34:30
unit is going to be great. I just don't know, if it's all
34:33
going to come together fast enough for them to be, you know.
34:37
All-time great offensive line for the Hokies got you.
34:41
Now, I just want a plus, you know, but what I see is, you
34:46
said it, we're not needed more deep than that.
34:49
We also have versatile guys who can play a number of positions.
34:53
Again, that means a lot to me. You've got, you've already got a
34:56
couple of all Americans with Dara saw and what Hudson was an
35:00
All-American last year. Nestor along with Mike Hoffman.
35:04
Just you keep name and you're like, yep, good blind and good
35:07
line. Good alignment, but I get what
35:08
you're saying, where they need to jail, they were missing
35:10
spring. So there's a prime opportunity
35:13
to get him an opportunity to jail, but also think with it
35:18
offensive line group, maybe they just getting out there doing
35:21
some sets together, not about with the coaches but hopefully,
35:26
that can happen. But I know I miss, I know, I
35:30
miss we've missed some guys that on the line that could possibly
35:34
start. I think.
35:38
Whoever the 5r run, I think this group has Joe more potential.
35:43
I think at the end of the year we could see them on that list
35:46
to say this is the best offensive line in college
35:49
football. Now, also the nerd fan in me, I
35:53
want to see some games where I up like 3510 at the end and our
35:58
coaches get drunk and say it's called an eight-man offensive
36:02
line set with Quincy at quarterback.
36:04
And just just let's just break somebody's will and make them
36:07
cry. A on the field.
36:09
There we go. I like the sound of that that,
36:11
you know, I always remember back.
36:13
Do you remember the Duke game when she's first year?
36:16
And we were up like five and he's like, six minutes to go in
36:20
the game. And literally the way we pushed
36:22
and ran the ball, and you can just see them when it got to
36:25
like two minutes and they're like, yeah, even this fall back.
36:28
Yeah, I was at that game. So I remember that will give you
36:31
a Jacob down there, man. You just see.
36:35
A will get snapped and it's just like that's what Have lunch and
36:38
do, yeah, you have no idea because that game was kind of
36:41
tight. Most of the way, the amount of
36:44
energy they got sucked out of that stadium in that drive was
36:48
impressive. Like, you could just feel it
36:50
just slowly drain as the drive went on and on and on.
36:55
All right, where do you want to go next?
36:56
Brian. All right.
36:59
Where we heading? Where we had?
37:00
We going to go, let's see, tell me what you think about wide
37:03
receivers. Oh, man.
37:07
I'm gonna give him a big. Okay.
37:10
Clearly, Trey Turner is becoming the leader, the lead wolf of
37:14
this pack. I mean, you can say it.
37:15
How you can see how the guys respect in, which is the big
37:20
thing to have to have a lead dog with wide receivers.
37:23
You need the Alpha Chi box. They're going to listen, I get a
37:26
Feelin but also be coming back with Tavian Robinson, but the
37:31
reason I give Abby is there's a lot of unknown after that you
37:34
know, with Hayes and has he both, you know, entering the
37:36
port? Little Haze heading, the
37:37
Missouri has the. I don't know if he's landed
37:39
anywhere but it looks like he was heading somewhere on the
37:41
peninsula to play. You know, don't get me wrong.
37:47
It's a chance for these young guys to come out there and they
37:49
don't get spring. We've said it numerous times and
37:51
we probably got to continue to say it because we're not going
37:54
to get that opportunity to see who separates themselves.
37:58
You know, we do have Caleb Smith who definitely I think he had
38:02
not Hurtin catches last year, which is solid for a guy in a
38:06
red shirt freshman Here, I'm also seeing definitely Big,
38:11
Stone Gap himself will be supporting this group in ways
38:14
because he's at burst of of a player.
38:16
What about you? So four wide receivers.
38:20
I'm going to go be as well, the concerns being very similar to
38:23
yours. We're talking about two guys
38:25
leaving that you had significant amount of snaps last year.
38:30
You know, coupling that with a couple of unknown factors, but
38:34
the reason that I'm still feeling pretty good, And yes,
38:37
some of us got to do with the front end.
38:39
We got trade Tammy on you know trained up.
38:42
He's got people's money, money back from Virginia Tech parking.
38:46
So you can do that. You can do anything, he can beat
38:49
Any Corner if he beat that any corner and you know obviously
38:55
Tavian Robinson had a great freshman year and I'm looking
38:59
for him to just grow more into that role especially now that
39:02
he's going to be more of a you know, outside guys and versus In
39:07
from the Florida. Feel like you got Jaden through
39:10
redshirted last year. I think he's going to be kind of
39:13
take on that slot role and what you're not talking about, but
39:17
what I'm he's going to be a theme of my offense here.
39:20
When we're talking about skill position Rahim Blackshear, what
39:26
Rahe Blackshear can do is going to impress, you.
39:31
And he's pretty much a de facto number four wide receiver.
39:35
On top of being Depth in our running back room.
39:38
So I'm looking for those guys, I'm looking for, as you said,
39:44
Big Stone Gap jeans, Mitchell working outside a lot.
39:49
I like, Bucky not probably not quite as out there exclusively
39:55
like Bucky was and in twenties first year but definitely
40:00
working outside on the regular and something, nobody's talking
40:03
about a lot. But I mean, I like this tape and
40:06
I'm Like all the things I've seen look for dalen, right?
40:10
Maybe make some noise early on just because of his ability to
40:15
work inside and outside and he has the entire route tree
40:20
already at his disposal. I think he could definitely from
40:23
day one coming and maybe be a contributor even if it's just a
40:26
guy that you know is coming in to give you a tray or Tay a
40:31
spell or somebody working in the slide if we're working with you
40:34
we got James at tight end. Somebody else.
40:36
To work in the slot so look for him to do stuff like that.
40:40
Yeah the Jaden field I got it wrote down.
40:42
I think he's the breakout could be the breakout guy and make
40:45
this group even bruschetta bruschetta that speed if nothing
40:48
else him running, you know, just go routes or running deep posts
40:53
or just getting the ball in his hands at the line of scrimmage.
40:57
You saw it. He, he, I think he won like the
41:00
60 meter dash at the vhsl track and field games last year.
41:04
And dude can fall I do if you Him some room.
41:08
Watch out. So in again, I think, I think I
41:13
mentioned this in a couple episodes ago.
41:15
I think Jane redshirted last year, was more of from heating
41:18
to learn the wide receiver position.
41:20
He's fast, that's great. He probably knows how to run
41:23
these routes, but he plays quarterback in high school.
41:26
We're just going to get a transition and maybe we see the
41:30
dividends of him, taking that full season and just getting
41:32
better and better and better can, you know, game against the
41:35
seven states. He runs a deep post, just blows
41:38
by the safety of others by the corner of 60 yards.
41:41
Touchdown, maybe maybe not. Alright, so we've mentioned, Big
41:45
Stone Gap, a couple times. What's your, what's your, a
41:49
great on the tight end units. All right, I'm given tight ends
41:53
a beat. I like I like what they're
41:56
bringing to the table here. Obviously, you know, elephant in
42:00
the room Dawn keen and to the NFL.
42:04
But I think combining that with big No Gap.
42:07
And then what? I think, Nick de gallo and and
42:10
Drake can do. I feel like Drake and Nick can
42:15
kind of between the two of them, take up and do most of the
42:19
things that the Dalton was doing?
42:22
I think James is primed to have a huge year, monster year, and
42:28
because I think he is going to get some more of those touches
42:31
that that we saw going to Dalton whether it be in the screen
42:34
game, whether it be, you know, those Red Zone routes that
42:38
typically went to Dalton in a lot of cases, I think James is
42:42
going to take over some of that but I think, you know, from a
42:45
blocking standpoint, I think Nick can do a lot of the things
42:48
that don't was able to do from inline perspective.
42:51
And I think that Drake doing the HVAC stuff is really going to be
42:57
the dividend that pays off the most because of, yeah, he'll be
42:59
able to get outside and block. Well, and that was something
43:02
that Dalton did really. Well, was blocking the space
43:06
block is Lead versus blocking in line.
43:08
So I think you're going to see some of that get taken up by
43:10
Drake, and I think he should, he should step into that role
43:14
pretty well. And I think pass-catching, I
43:16
think Drake will do okay? And I think James is going to
43:18
just take on a bigger role in that in that regard.
43:21
Yeah, I'm a b-plus on this. I'm a little bit higher because
43:24
I think what you kind of live, everything you said, I think the
43:27
combination can get us can replace Dalton lose you.
43:32
A little bit of your versatility but you saw Gallo last year and
43:35
how it got later. ER, and his blocks you, he's
43:38
built Silo. Thank you 64. 250, he's built
43:40
good Drake. Remembers was the higher guy
43:44
coming out when him and Dalton both came in?
43:49
So I think this is his chance to shine and clearly James is a
43:53
little everything. He's gonna play The Joker tight
43:55
end position. He's going to play the outside
43:57
for the receiver group, but he can block, you know, and you saw
44:01
him run some of those interior. The the inside, the five sweeps,
44:05
which case, Got blown up but he did score some touchdowns off of
44:09
them. Yeah it's his versatility.
44:11
So when you see him live in that sort of HVAC role like right off
44:16
the shoulder of the right tackle or the left tackle he's not
44:22
going to. He's going to run some route.
44:23
Well what'd he say what if he gets the sweep?
44:25
Is he can we get to him fast? Nothing.
44:27
Is it going to be a big enough guy to take him down?
44:30
And that's why I put this at A to B +.
44:34
All right, Brian quarterback room.
44:36
Guys, you protected where you going with them?
44:39
Well, we finished the year pretty strong last year.
44:43
So I'm going to go with the solid solid b-plus.
44:46
I think there's room for growth and that's why we need for us.
44:50
I think you for just talking depth, you would be an A+
44:55
because I feel like we've got a great number one.
44:58
And then, as solid as two guys behind him, as you could
45:01
probably find anywhere. With Quincy and with with
45:06
Braxton. So and I think just from a, from
45:10
a top in one, I mean, I think hendon's the guy I love his
45:13
leadership. That's the biggest thing that I
45:15
like about him and hooker, if he gets on the field, He commands
45:18
the Huddle. And that's what you need.
45:20
And if he can take just, you know, a couple steps in terms of
45:25
consistency with his passes. I think he can make all the
45:28
throws. That's not, that's not the
45:29
concern but just being a little more consistent with making the
45:33
Visions. A little quicker and a little
45:37
bit more accurate with the football, when delivering it in
45:39
the, in the intermediate range, I think you really take the next
45:43
step. So that's what I'm looking for.
45:44
And that's why I wouldn't be plus.
45:46
All right. Okay, Brian, I'm gonna, I'm
45:48
gonna give my grandma. Won't you to ask me?
45:52
Why did I go there? A poke.
45:54
Hey plus. All right, give me a rundown.
45:57
Then give me a rundown - you question.
45:59
How many other schools in the country?
46:01
Can say they've had three quarterbacks when a division,
46:03
one football. Ball game.
46:05
Very few, very few men, very won't make any with.
46:09
And that's what we have here. You have tendon Who won six
46:12
games, Burmeister out at Oregon, wanted some games, Quincy won
46:16
game one, the Carolina, one, the Carolina game and you said it
46:21
hookers the man, but having those two good backups like
46:25
them, tell me if you're an offensive play caller, are you
46:29
going to fear like running an offense?
46:32
Like, I can't do this. I might get hooker banged up.
46:36
So no, you're not, you're not worried about that and I think
46:38
that other thing is that you're not worried about you having to
46:41
completely blow up your playbook, if your backup comes
46:45
in. And I think that's that's
46:46
something that people don't talk about enough is that?
46:49
Yeah, I think will cater some play-calling towards Quincy or
46:52
towards Braxton if he comes in, but most of the plays that we
46:56
run or still going to be on the table if finding gets injured.
47:00
So that's a big thing, especially if there's a mid-game
47:04
injury. So, You know, not having time to
47:06
prepare and set up for what you're going to do.
47:09
You know, Quincy comes in here. We're probably going to go a
47:11
little bit more power, run heavy, but he can still make all
47:14
the throws. He can still do all the things
47:17
that they've hidden can do and then you can talk talk Braxton.
47:22
I mean, there's talking about him being the best athlete of
47:25
the three of them. Which crazy mean the thought of
47:29
that is kind of insane. So, you know, I don't think
47:32
we're going to, you know, when you're when either these guys
47:34
come in you're not. About losing plays from your
47:37
playbook and that's the most important thing with the backup
47:39
is being able to essentially do what you do, even when your top
47:44
guys not in there. And that's another reason I gave
47:46
it the A+, they can do the same place, but they all have a
47:50
little different skillset you talk about Braxton being the
47:53
best athlete, and you can see what some of his soul and reads,
47:56
his quickness to make that step. It's faster than Hendon of
48:00
Hendon. Has got a pretty quick step and
48:02
it's clearly kind of frequencies.
48:04
But I will go back to the Carolina game.
48:05
Mmmmm. And if you remember how they had
48:08
a change up the game plan a little bit, something like have
48:11
happens in Game. Did Carolina.
48:13
Look like they were ready for a power running QB.
48:15
No, no, no. So what that happens is if
48:18
you're that defense Miss again, so I'm going a plus, I'll member
48:20
my teachers and well he's got a decent arm but he runs his own
48:24
reads. We better get to the edge quick
48:27
or as you know from playing to can't think that way because I'm
48:32
sure you from coaching and playing something changes on the
48:35
team. Like, hey guys, were going to do
48:36
this coach, you didn't tell us this all week.
48:40
What are we supposed to do again?
48:42
You know, being in game? You can't make flies like that
48:45
not in one quarter, you know? So that's why I'm going a plus.
48:51
All right. Last night, fun times, fun
48:55
times, running backs. And guys, please Curtis what you
49:00
get the I'm going to go D, Plus Okay, yeah, I just worried that
49:07
this group. So how are you worried about
49:10
them? And I hope all these guys proved
49:13
me wrong. We lost the only guy who has
49:17
proven effective in losing the show mcleese.
49:22
You know, I worry about Herbert coming in with the, you know, he
49:26
came primarily from a pistol. Now we're going out of shotgun.
49:30
I'm worried about that, he's explosive my gosh, but I just
49:34
worry about those new laws changes and it does it take away
49:37
from what he does. Great, you keep talking black
49:42
shit, you love him. I can't Factor men because the
49:44
NCAA hates the Hokies, they will find a way to not.
49:47
Let him get his waiver because I'll say this if he was already
49:53
approved and I hope it doesn't break in the next two hours.
49:57
I'll totally go see plus with this group.
50:00
Okay, what are you at? Golly, you kind of gave me the
50:03
news good news for where are you where you put it?
50:07
If I had to put a number grade on, I go 82.
50:09
So I'm somewhere between like Abby and Abby - it was a big and
50:14
yeah. So so here's what we got and you
50:17
know, it's coming, you've already kind of prefaced it.
50:20
But, you know, the two words I will say is Raheem Blackshear.
50:25
And the biggest thing I'm gonna say is coaching change.
50:27
So if that doesn't get approved and the NCAA truly does hate the
50:30
Hokies. So I'm Kendra he blacks years,
50:34
fully a part of this unit integrated full .
50:37
So, with that being said, this guy can do it all.
50:42
And I'm really excited to see what you can do with this
50:44
offense. Biggest things are going to be
50:46
the screen game that's going to pick up significantly.
50:50
This guy working in space is impressive and the fact that
50:54
we're going to have him on the field plus C.
50:58
Not as much as I was hoping for probably but should see some
51:01
progression with he Chongqing from the offseason.
51:07
You couple that with the experience and just the bull
51:10
bag, downhill threat. That that Herbert is I just feel
51:13
like this unit is probably going to be the unit that everyone's
51:17
going to under rate is going to be really shocked to see what
51:20
their actual output is going to be.
51:22
Especially if you take it from an all-purpose yards from from
51:25
people with the label are be next to their name, okay.
51:29
I don't know. That's fair enough.
51:29
You're going to go out and see one guy get 1,000 yards, but I
51:33
think the combination of their output Put from those three guys
51:38
plus anybody else that contributes is going to be
51:40
really good from a running perspective and but I think in
51:43
terms of the receiving yards that you see from that position
51:47
that's going to go up significantly and that's where
51:49
the big gains are going to be. Yeah, well you know, the other
51:51
reason, my letter grade soul is because of the coach at this
51:54
position at him, like him Berg. He's running backs.
52:00
I want this group to prove me wrong.
52:01
I want this group at the end of the year to have so many yards
52:05
and touchdowns That, you know, it's it makes this look silly to
52:10
me in one guy that I think you mentioned him.
52:15
I think he's Sean kinky flashed. He showed some of that David
52:18
Wilson that just makes chill. If you're a hockey fan, and if
52:22
he grows again, he was a true freshman last year and that's
52:27
one thing I love about saying about so many groups has he was
52:30
a true freshman. He didn't get any time in the
52:33
offseason or in a weight training program.
52:35
So I really I really hope this group proves me wrong.
52:40
I feel like you're on that optimistic side where I usually
52:42
am and you know well you gotta think about it.
52:48
What grade would you give the offensive line?
52:51
A-Plus. Yeah, I gave me - so they're
52:55
running behind a good offensive line, so you don't have to be a
53:00
rocket scientist to at least do pretty well behind a good
53:03
offensive line. Now, love it a great running
53:07
back is going to take that to the nth degree, but a good
53:09
running back is going to be able to be very, very productive
53:13
because you know, some of the works done for them.
53:17
They've got a whole they got a cutback lane.
53:20
They've got guys that are in the right.
53:21
Place that at least all they got to do is get up in the hole and
53:23
maybe break a tackle. So, I mean, you know, things are
53:26
setting up where, as long as we're not vanilla with the play
53:30
calling to a degree that hurts us which, you know, we've had
53:37
some quality squabbles about that as well, but I think that
53:41
things are going to be a little bit better than we were
53:42
anticipating from a running back room perspective, from all
53:46
right, so Hokie nation that wraps up our great Positional
53:52
units as of what was supposed to be the day before spring
53:55
practice starts. So we're going to put out a
53:59
Twitter poll and this is what we're going to ask what position
54:04
group of these four will be the difference in 2020.
54:08
The running backs and wide receivers the defensive ends for
54:13
the safeties. Now you guys notice these were
54:16
our highest-rated groups. These actually kind of looking
54:19
at all up. These are eyes.
54:21
It's that collectively rated lower.
54:24
So which of these groups that we think, you know we didn't put
54:28
the best grades own. What do you who do you think's
54:30
going to step up? And say that group, right there,
54:34
they're going to take Leaps and Bounds steps and they're going
54:36
to be the going to make difference in 2020.
54:40
You like it, Brian. I like it.
54:42
And, you know, it's kind of interesting because if we had
54:44
had the same poll last year, you wouldn't see wide receivers or
54:48
safety is probably in this category.
54:52
No. But here they are.
54:54
So and you know what's funny, what a year does.
54:56
And I think the biggest thing with the safeties is that, you
54:59
know, we're inserting a new starter, and we don't know what
55:03
that looks like yet. We know what he can do game by
55:06
game when we don't know what he can do.
55:08
When you put stack a bunch of games back to back and then with
55:11
wide receiver you got one of your top receivers entering the
55:15
portal and another veteran. That's kind of has been the
55:19
leader on that unit up until this.
55:21
Point also step away. So yeah, it's amazing.
55:25
The changes a year makes even though, you know, I think the
55:28
safeties probably maybe met their goal last year and they
55:33
weren't any better than then. We expect you but I think they
55:37
were right there at our expectations.
55:38
I think wide receiver probably under achieved on the whole as
55:43
terms of what we thought they would be last year, but I think
55:46
they definitely have room to room to grow.
55:48
So I think that's why they're on the list right now.
55:50
And you know what? There's One group that would
55:51
have been on this whole. If we had done this last year,
55:54
that would been defensive tackles and yeah, would have
55:56
both rated them somewhere between, I'm going to say a CMD
55:58
+ and that group completely overshot, their expectations is
56:03
absolutely awesome. Are we missing anything?
56:07
But the Glee Club anything. You know, I can happen.
56:11
I'm sure we flop something but I'll wait for the listeners to
56:15
call us out on that, alright? Alright.
56:18
So folks that's going to wrap up this episode.
56:21
Uh sewed of the boundary Corner podcast, stay safe out there.
