0:33
Speaker 1: You know, like any university, you've got all these graduates
0:35
Speaker 1: who just don't live in the area anymore, but they
0:38
Speaker 1: want to find out what's going on, so they'll be
0:39
Speaker 1: listening to us and your games. When we start against Lafayette,
0:45
Speaker 1: we cannot continue and we only have a few minutes
0:48
Speaker 1: to wrap it up with. I'll talk about offensive linemen.
0:50
Speaker 1: They're the scariest dudes to watch practice. In my mind.
0:53
Speaker 1: I like to go on the field before the game
0:55
Speaker 1: and see the warmups and I get close like we're
0:59
Speaker 1: like five feet away from each other, and I don't
1:01
Speaker 1: want to get any closer than five feet to an
1:04
Speaker 1: offensive lineman because those guys are the scariest people on
1:07
Speaker 1: the planet.
1:09
Speaker 2: They're necessary evil. You have to have them. You're not
1:12
Speaker 2: anything without them. They're they're they're the essence of what
1:15
Speaker 2: football should be. They don't ask for anything, they don't
1:19
Speaker 2: have to wear all the cool stuff. They just shut up.
1:22
Speaker 2: They work, and they do what they're supposed to do.
1:25
Speaker 2: It's great. I wish I had three offensive lineman children,
1:29
Speaker 2: but unfortunately they don't listen like a lineman.
1:31
Speaker 1: Food bill would go up.
1:34
Speaker 2: But no, I think our guys have done a really
1:36
Speaker 2: good job, you know, getting acclimated to how we play
1:41
Speaker 2: and what we are we were asking of them to do.
1:44
Speaker 2: You know, we got Ty Chan will probably be anchors
1:47
Speaker 2: in there at right guard, who played a lot of
1:48
Speaker 2: football here for you know, this team last year. You
1:52
Speaker 2: got Terrence Moore transferred in from Toledo, who's a really
1:55
Speaker 2: good player. You got Darren McLaughlin who was here last year.
1:57
Speaker 2: You got Isaiah Switzer that's playing really really well tackle.
2:00
Speaker 2: We got Christian Richter who came from Marshall was a
2:03
Speaker 2: really good tackle Fred Johnson at guard from Louisville. Tamaris
2:07
Speaker 2: Walker from here. Last year off of this team, uh
2:13
Speaker 2: Honess Hammer from Virginia Tech transferred into tackles. I had
2:16
Speaker 2: a really good camp. You know, I think you got
2:19
Speaker 2: you want to get to have eight guys that you
2:20
Speaker 2: feel like you can go in there and compete. You
2:22
Speaker 2: may lose one or two due to injury, which we
2:24
Speaker 2: haven't you know, had that, you know, knock on wood.
2:27
Speaker 2: To this point in time, You're want to keep those
2:28
Speaker 2: big guys healthy and you want to be able to
2:30
Speaker 2: be multiple in some of the sets that you have.
2:32
Speaker 2: You want to be able to get in some of
2:32
Speaker 2: those big formations and short yards. So yeah, they've they've
2:36
Speaker 2: had a lot of learning, they've had a lot thrown
2:38
Speaker 2: on their plate, and they've responded in a major way.
2:40
Speaker 1: I used to cover the Giants for a lot of
2:42
Speaker 1: years in New York and when they were good once
2:44
Speaker 1: in a while, they had great offensive lines. Sure, Bardos
2:48
Speaker 1: is the first guy I remember thinking, oh my goodness,
2:50
Speaker 1: this guy. If we don't have him, well we got nothing.
2:54
Speaker 1: Center is so important, isn't it to an offensive line
2:57
Speaker 1: for the communication?
2:58
Speaker 2: Because the diversity on d schematically is just off the charts, right.
3:03
Speaker 2: I mean there's you know, there's three man fronts, there's
3:06
Speaker 2: four men fronts, there's five men fronts, there's two man fronts.
3:08
Speaker 2: There's guys blitzing from all over the place. So if
3:10
Speaker 2: you can't get the communication right and the quarterback in
3:13
Speaker 2: the center can't be on the same page, then it
3:15
Speaker 2: really doesn't matter what the coach is doing. So you know,
3:18
Speaker 2: that guy's got to be the ultimate thinker.
3:20
Speaker 1: All right, who's the center, Jevin.
3:22
Speaker 2: That'll be either Terrence Moore Darren McLoughlin, and you know
3:24
Speaker 2: one of those guys will if whichever one doesn't win
3:27
Speaker 2: the job, will you know, like we'll play. We're both
3:30
Speaker 2: gonna play a lot. They're both gonna play a guard
3:31
Speaker 2: and you know, or at center, and you know that'll
3:35
Speaker 2: be you know, really you view center, guard and guard
3:38
Speaker 2: as you know in your interior guys, and you want
3:40
Speaker 2: to make sure you have four or five of those
3:42
Speaker 2: guys ready to go every game.
3:43
Speaker 1: All right, we're ready to go. We think Jason Campbell
