Richmond Game Preview · Boundary Corner Podcast

• 0:44
  Welcome back to the boundary Corner podcast with my co-host.
• 0:49
  Brian Sigler, I am Curtis Wilson, big guy, how you doing?
• 0:53
  Tonight. Oh man, I'm good.
• 0:56
  Both classes this week, we're canceled.
• 0:58
  So I've been kind of living the normal evening run the last
• 1:03
  three nights man. It's been nice.
• 1:05
  Both both, how did I get lucky? Monday was for, unfortunately,
• 1:12
  sad or circumstances. I guess to like a friend from
• 1:16
  from school and passed away. So Professor was attending the
• 1:19
  funeral cancel class. The professor gave us a mental
• 1:23
  health. So mental health line, I'll take
• 1:27
  it. You need those.
• 1:30
  You need mental health nights. You need mental health days.
• 1:33
  I 100% agree on cam preciate. Yeah, we're rolling tonight.
• 1:39
  It's going to be fun. We're going to put West,
• 1:42
  Virginia behind us a little bit, and we're going to try to move
• 1:45
  forward and see what we can do with the rest of the season.
• 1:48
  Absolutely Tuesday afternoon. You've all lit up.
• 1:52
  Regardless, good bad or indifferent, take the shot
• 1:56
  towards the trash. Can you sink it?
• 1:59
  You say, no. Be you say Kobe and you move
• 2:02
  home? Because that's all you can do.
• 2:07
  If you continue to dwell on it, you will drive yourself a little
• 2:09
  bit insane and we're not going to do that because we are on the
• 2:13
  Richmond. All right?
• 2:17
  Before we hop into that, we got some other things we want to
• 2:21
  talk about. You National stories and a
• 2:26
  couple fun things but let's do this.
• 2:28
  Brian Say it Brian. Just say it.
• 2:33
  I told you so. What I'm referring to is that
• 2:37
  preseason polls are bullshit because 19 of the preseason, top
• 2:42
  25 have all taken Ells in 3 weeks.
• 2:46
  And that's insane. And some of those have taken
• 2:51
  multiple Elle's Miami, um, summer gone.
• 2:56
  So I'm probably won't be able to get back.
• 2:58
  Um, but it's to the point, it's a preseason.
• 3:02
  I heard it being said recently, it's just something to talk
• 3:05
  about now. You should take it serious.
• 3:08
  It's if you get preseason ranked, you can be hyped as fun.
• 3:12
  But until you get on the field and start playing games against
• 3:16
  God. Petition.
• 3:17
  It's worthless. I like preseason previews and
• 3:21
  previews that put a power ranking on things.
• 3:23
  I Don't Like official poles. I think that's where I need to
• 3:28
  differentiate between what I'm talking about here.
• 3:31
  I love learning about what teams are bringing to the table of the
• 3:34
  year. I love people trying to get take
• 3:38
  that those things on paper and try to put that out there and
• 3:41
  see kind of where those predictions fall.
• 3:44
  I don't like those poles. Mattering in terms of how the
• 3:49
  season shapes. Yes exception.
• 3:52
  The Top 25 Poll was such a perception thing and it's when
• 3:55
  you have someone role in in November and a teams are 7 and 1
• 4:01
  and this is you know it happens everywhere there's seven and one
• 4:05
  but they have three top 20 wins and you go back and look will
• 4:09
  two of those top 20 wins were with teams that are not even
• 4:13
  getting boats anymore and you No, the other teams 24th like at
• 4:20
  least the college football, playoff puts that somewhat in
• 4:23
  context but it's still shapes. How we perceive the whole thing.
• 4:27
  It's true. You don't see much variation
• 4:29
  from it and I think, you know, will it ever go away?
• 4:33
  No. So it's always going to be a Hot
• 4:35
  Topic. Yep.
• 4:36
  Any and it also shows you to that. to me, there are writers
• 4:42
  throughout the country who just throw names out there just to
• 4:49
  throw names out there, maybe it'd be fun if someone took a,
• 4:55
  if someone took a What's the port?
• 5:01
  If someone looked at all the Riders and just like listed them
• 5:04
  each out? Of how they, how they started
• 5:09
  the beginning of the season and then continue it and essentially
• 5:13
  Crown the best AP writer like nip, man, your top 25 at the
• 5:19
  beginning, it never really wavered.
• 5:21
  You took people out when they had a loss.
• 5:24
  Like a bad loss. You know, give that guy like a
• 5:27
  hundred thousand dollars or something.
• 5:29
  Now Bryan, speaking of the cfp, The committee announced tonight
• 5:35
  that it will no longer hold a vote on expansion next Tuesday.
• 5:41
  Realignment has given them cold feet.
• 5:46
  Well, then, I know there's other factors playing in there, but I
• 5:50
  feel like the realignment thing and SEC has given the committee
• 5:58
  as a whole cold feet in terms of moving on this.
• 6:01
  They're now talking about, they're going to consider
• 6:03
  Potentially Aid, along with 12, they still say 12 is the best
• 6:08
  overall model, but they want to address some of the issues that
• 6:11
  have been brought to their attention with it.
• 6:14
  And I mean, I said it myself, 12 isn't perfect, but what I said
• 6:18
  is 12, I think is best for everyone involved.
• 6:22
  So 12, the best option for Blue Bloods.
• 6:25
  And for up-and-comers, and for the G5.
• 6:30
  That's what gives enough room for everybody to eat a little, A
• 6:33
  bit. Yep, exactly and I because the
• 6:36
  the Blue Bloods are going to eat.
• 6:37
  Regardless, it gives a little more room for everybody else to
• 6:40
  eat a little bit as well. Exactly.
• 6:42
  And probably the biggest thing with the realignment is when
• 6:45
  they were going in there, their expectation was, we're going to
• 6:49
  give six because we have five power conferences.
• 6:52
  They consistently put out top 10 teams and we're going to give a
• 6:57
  bone to a G5 conference will. Now they have to look at it to
• 7:01
  say. Is the realignment of the G5
• 7:06
  hate to say this and you feel for those teams is the
• 7:11
  realignment of the G5 going to be good enough to back in a spot
• 7:19
  at the table. I mean they're losing
• 7:20
  Cincinnati, they're using UCF, they're losing Houston, they're
• 7:24
  losing, you know BYU is independent but you could still
• 7:27
  see them as getting the at-large bid potentially so it's like
• 7:32
  Just going to I think they I think eventually they're going
• 7:36
  to stick with 12 but you know I think they're going to do Ron.
• 7:39
  Five automatic bids top five conferences.
• 7:44
  And because I think what they're seeing is like, the new Big 12
• 7:49
  is not going to be as good as the old Big 12, but it's not
• 7:52
  going to be lower than some of the G5 teams.
• 7:55
  It's going to be in the middle there.
• 7:57
  So we're essentially going to give them a bone that if they
• 7:59
  can pull a top quilt team off every year, they're going to get
• 8:04
  it. Yeah, and I guess the other big
• 8:06
  question is that you know, now with A lot of these big G five
• 8:11
  schools, moving to the Big 12 sec, getting stronger, you know,
• 8:15
  at what point is more teams, actually diluting the product in
• 8:20
  terms of automatic bids for and that's why I think they go to
• 8:24
  five and then they just and then it lays where it may.
• 8:31
  So, hopefully, they get it done, quick.
• 8:33
  I mean, I think also, what might be happening to is the cfp might
• 8:38
  be in some sort of scrutiny. As these realignments are
• 8:41
  happening, Fox is making phone calls.
• 8:44
  Maybe CBS is making phone calls saying, hey, we want in on these
• 8:48
  playoff games and for them, the smartest move is just going to
• 8:52
  be wait and see what happens, because if you got multiple bids
• 8:57
  on multiple games, then you're really talking a for the cfp in
• 9:03
  general, just to have stronger leverage over to meet strong or
• 9:06
  leverage over ESPN where ESPN can dictate all the terms.
• 9:11
  Yeah. I think that's the big thing.
• 9:12
  I think the whole point of this long term is to Wrench, some of
• 9:19
  the leverage away from ESPN and sec in general, and try to get
• 9:23
  it a little bit more more balanced in terms of how those
• 9:29
  distribution rights are kind of divvied out there.
• 9:33
  We'll see if this is you know another part of that leverage
• 9:36
  along with the the alliance with the ACC, the Big Ten in the
• 9:40
  Pac-12. Abso-freakin'-lutely.
• 9:43
  Hi Brian. Well let's turn now to the Hokey
• 9:45
  side. Let's talk about a few things
• 9:47
  that came out of the presser. Yes, we drop it in the garbage
• 9:50
  but we still need to address both of these quotes here from
• 9:55
  the point, a presser on Monday that we listen to.
• 9:57
  So the first thing was talking about the offense and this was
• 10:02
  the quote, we stunk, you don't get down there three times and
• 10:06
  Come Away with nothing and not re-evaluate and talk about and
• 10:10
  look at all. It's of it top to bottom.
• 10:13
  We weren't very good. What do you say to that quote?
• 10:20
  Brian. What is that telling you Depends
• 10:24
  on who he's referring to when he says, we I mean in general.
• 10:28
  You know what we talked about is that you know, a lot of This
• 10:33
  falls back on the coaches because when you look at it
• 10:36
  either, the calls were bad. You can we can debate that if
• 10:40
  you want to, but objectively I think some of those calls were
• 10:43
  bad but outside of that outside of that you know if you're
• 10:48
  saying the execution wasn't there.
• 10:50
  Okay well it's the coach's responsibility to get the
• 10:52
  players ready to execute the Please in these types of
• 10:55
  situations. Exactly.
• 10:57
  Either way, it's falling back on either preparation or the calls
• 11:00
  themselves. So you know that that's one
• 11:03
  aspect of it. What did, what was your
• 11:05
  takeaway? Um very similar to that, you
• 11:09
  know, the whole thing that I I like to hear is the re-evaluate
• 11:16
  and look at all aspects, because in the past, a lot of his
• 11:21
  quotes, it always been about execution.
• 11:23
  A lot of his quote is always been again to me.
• 11:27
  It always had slanted toward the players more than the coaches.
• 11:31
  You know, because the most time people when they hear execution,
• 11:34
  the first thing they think is last slide on the players,
• 11:37
  you've always made the point of. Well, execution is just as much
• 11:40
  on the coaches because it's their job to teach it and get it
• 11:44
  executed correctly. So when I hear that you know
• 11:47
  hopefully going back in its you're looking and he's sitting
• 11:52
  there with The entire offensive coaching staff and saying okay,
• 11:58
  here was the first play. Why did we do this?
• 12:02
  Okay? Right.
• 12:04
  Yeah, it started top-down say like and some of what you're
• 12:07
  talking about kind of goes into the second quote that we're
• 12:10
  going to talk about here. Yes.
• 12:12
  Yes. So to me the whole thing is
• 12:15
  great. You're going to re-evaluate it,
• 12:18
  you're going to Brian Kelly also fired a whole offensive staff a
• 12:27
  few years ago and since then has paid nothing but dividend.
• 12:30
  So he executed his staff and has since he definitely pulled the
• 12:36
  trigger that Fuente has yet to do yet.
• 12:39
  So yet to do with the other, you also killed a guys I think that
• 12:46
  was the reference and we just put her all.
• 12:48
  I know that was the reference. But the other pieces you can you
• 12:55
  do always heard him talk about execution.
• 12:56
  Now, the question is, as you re-evaluate it.
• 13:00
  What changes come from you can re-evaluate I can sit here and,
• 13:05
  you know, you can, we can re-evaluate anything in life if
• 13:09
  it's not going well. But if you sit there and say,
• 13:13
  well, what was just going to do the same old thing?
• 13:16
  Then what does it matter? Because the product that's
• 13:19
  happening. You didn't rat, you re-evaluate
• 13:22
  it, to get to the same answer nobody.
• 13:24
  So I'm going to use it the same way that I applied in my job.
• 13:27
  So data management. Data analysis.
• 13:32
  You know, if you, if you collect data and you have no intentions
• 13:36
  of doing anything of that with that data, what the hell are you
• 13:38
  collecting the data? For if you're not going to have
• 13:42
  some sort of application that you are collecting the data, for
• 13:46
  you need to just need to move on, so re-evaluation is great.
• 13:51
  But if you don't turn that into actionable changes moving
• 13:55
  forward, then it's all for naught.
• 13:58
  All for not at all now Going into what we talked about the
• 14:01
  top-down approach. The next quote was this and this
• 14:04
  is some sort of Defending and talking about bread for Nelson,
• 14:08
  but I would also say there's nobody an iron out, the minutiae
• 14:10
  it takes to give our guy's a chance to be successful.
• 14:13
  Then Brad Where's your bullshit meter on that one?
• 14:22
  It's overflowing man. I mean, because the thing is, if
• 14:25
  he is such great at minutiae and iron and things out, we wouldn't
• 14:31
  be talking about this in year six because it would have been
• 14:34
  hammered out in the last few years.
• 14:36
  So he's probably not great at it, or he could be great at very
• 14:42
  individual aspects of ironing out minutiae, but not ironing
• 14:46
  out an entire offensive. Coordinator type role.
• 14:51
  Well, I think it goes back to what we were just talking about
• 14:53
  with the collecting data is that I think he's decent at scheme.
• 14:59
  Okay, at game planning but awful at adjustments and situational
• 15:05
  situation situational play calls.
• 15:07
  So it mean, if you're, if you're going to get them a new Shin,
• 15:11
  break it down and have it there and you're still not going to
• 15:13
  make changes into how you approach those other aspects
• 15:16
  that you have known. Our flaws in your and your game.
• 15:22
  Then again, it doesn't matter how good you are at ironing out
• 15:24
  the minutiae, if you're not going to apply it in some way
• 15:28
  and a um I can't remember if it was me and you talking Brian.
• 15:31
  If I overheard it in a conversation well radio or other
• 15:37
  various Avenues but there was a discussion this week about there
• 15:42
  was a team that they knew that the offensive coordinator ran.
• 15:48
  2220. But when it got inside the 20,
• 15:52
  essentially, the head coach Togo head coach had the background in
• 15:56
  authentic coordinating and when it clicked inside the 20 didn't
• 15:59
  matter. That was his focus.
• 16:02
  It helped in know. I think it's already thinking
• 16:05
  about it. Well, this helps a couple
• 16:07
  reasons, you know, if you got a coach, who's running the Scout
• 16:11
  teams, okay, he see in both sides of the ball.
• 16:16
  You know, where is he, where's his next Focus though?
• 16:20
  And for that coach it was the focus is.
• 16:22
  I'm going to focus inside the 20 yard line.
• 16:24
  Now I'm not sure if that coach is focusing on both sides.
• 16:27
  Maybe maybe he was. Maybe he was giving input to the
• 16:30
  defensive coordinator about looks that teens giving, and in
• 16:34
  his own team, I'm taking over the play controls.
• 16:37
  I'm going to call the place from here because I am focused on
• 16:40
  this piece so it's got to be something like that.
• 16:44
  So if you tell me, Me Saturday afternoon, we're watching the
• 16:47
  game and the production. The sideline reporter says, you
• 16:52
  know, Justin Fuente told us yesterday in the in our
• 16:57
  production meeting that plays inside the 25 he would do he
• 17:02
  would be taking over strictly. I hear that like okay, you're
• 17:07
  actually making a change and we actually get to see if
• 17:12
  anything's different Right? And that's what we want.
• 17:16
  We have been pretty awful on Red Zone opportunities really
• 17:20
  throughout the year so far in the first three games.
• 17:26
  We got to get better there. There's just, there's no way
• 17:28
  around it. You got to get better if we
• 17:30
  don't get better at putting points on the board when we get
• 17:32
  in scoring areas. Yep.
• 17:34
  Then it's gonna be a long year. Yeah.
• 17:36
  We got to get better in the issue and I know what was it?
• 17:40
  You brought up that you saw Monday night that the
• 17:44
  Discussing. Yeah.
• 17:45
  Hank Manning came up Monday night and if y'all washed it,
• 17:49
  what he talked about was third down, please.
• 17:54
  And he reference like 3rd and 10 because I think that was the
• 17:56
  play on the field. Third down, please are your
• 17:59
  playmaker plays. You figure.
• 18:02
  Essentially, he's saying the offensive Corner in their mind.
• 18:05
  Should be figuring out how to get one of these people the ball
• 18:11
  because they're the best players and they have the best.
• 18:14
  Opportunity to get the first down.
• 18:16
  But he backed it up with it. And said, now fourth-down calls
• 18:20
  are essentially, skiing calls You essentially its fourth and
• 18:25
  whatever I think at that point it was fourth and three or
• 18:27
  something that's a scheme called you look inside your thing and
• 18:30
  say this is our best play in the scheme for fourth and three or
• 18:34
  less or fourth, and four or less.
• 18:37
  This is how we're going to execute this play right here.
• 18:39
  This play, and it, and it, and when I, when you were, when we
• 18:44
  started talking about, it was just like, yeah, that makes
• 18:46
  sense, right? Because you can't scheme of
• 18:48
  third down and ten play. You can't You can't, you have to
• 18:53
  figure out a way to maybe you figure out a way to scheme.
• 18:56
  Your best player open, but that is still scanning your best
• 18:59
  player open. Not a lot allowing the skiing to
• 19:02
  drive derive. Who gets the ball?
• 19:05
  Yeah, and I feel like we're a lot more dependent on scheme for
• 19:10
  Success. Especially in the passing game
• 19:12
  than we really need to be. You know, we need to do a better
• 19:16
  job of imposing our will, and I hope that this game, this Week
• 19:22
  is when we really start to see some of that, maybe maybe not
• 19:27
  because Brian. There's a there's a lot of stuff
• 19:28
  going on and probably the biggest.
• 19:31
  Is it, right tackle? Yeah, I mean a little we find
• 19:37
  out after the game. We see broaden.
• 19:39
  Get out there and Darrell Smith get out there.
• 19:41
  No. Parker Clemens.
• 19:42
  Find out. Clemens have been banged up.
• 19:44
  Didn't travel Silas out. We know both he and Clements.
• 19:52
  Participated in practice on Sunday which is a good thing
• 19:55
  y'all. But it's right now.
• 19:59
  Let me let me ask this to what degree they participated is the
• 20:02
  question, but the fact that they were at least out there doing
• 20:06
  their thing is at least somewhat encouraging.
• 20:09
  Okay, let me ask this. Let's say they're both Nick,
• 20:12
  they could play. But essentially you play them
• 20:16
  this week, they can get further injured and they'd be out three
• 20:20
  weeks after this. Is this a week that essentially
• 20:24
  you put on Vance Vice to say, figure out?
• 20:29
  Tyrell Brock Hoffman someone else at right tackle because we
• 20:33
  need to let Silas get 100 because we have a stretch of
• 20:36
  games starting at Notre Dame that are really going to
• 20:40
  determine how good this season goes.
• 20:42
  I mean just in general they need to figure out who their second
• 20:46
  right tackle is regardless of you know what they end up doing
• 20:51
  long term. We've got to figure out who our
• 20:55
  number two, right? Tackle is Because right now, we
• 20:58
  rotated Brock. We had tyrol Smith in there, I
• 21:00
  mean, it's been kind of a rotating cast last week, and I
• 21:05
  don't think either of them had great success especially against
• 21:11
  West Virginia. So, I'm hoping that we see them
• 21:15
  have success against what should be a even if they're not
• 21:19
  necessarily size wise and FCS type opponent in terms of what
• 21:23
  they are in the trenches. Ability wise.
• 21:27
  They should be a big step down from what we saw with West
• 21:32
  Virginia. So we should be able to handle
• 21:34
  them. Yeah.
• 21:35
  And to t, oo, SMS point there. It is an all season issue.
• 21:39
  We talked about it. We I think we still are better
• 21:43
  than what could have been. We still have at least guys who
• 21:47
  can I mean? Yes Rock got beat on a couple
• 21:49
  bad sacks. I mean they look terrible but it
• 21:53
  wasn't he was whipping every single play.
• 21:57
  Yeah. I mean he had good snaps and bad
• 21:59
  snaps. We need to essentially, you
• 22:02
  know, mitigate the big problems and what you know you can't you
• 22:06
  can't get beat off the line getting beat.
• 22:10
  After you make your initial punch, you know you least give
• 22:13
  your quarterback some time to see the rush potentially a skate
• 22:17
  you know take care of themselves even if they can't you don't get
• 22:21
  a situation like Braxton had last week where you know, sole
• 22:26
  Like by Brock and all of a sudden, he's got a strip sack
• 22:29
  there in the Red Zone. Well can I ask this?
• 22:32
  And this goes back again to scheming to offensive coaches.
• 22:37
  You put a guy out there and on that second side at the the
• 22:40
  fourth and the fourth downside. Yep.
• 22:44
  There was no help to his side. No, it was strictly and you're
• 22:48
  sitting here in. I'm a Layman.
• 22:50
  When it comes to it and it's like that's brought who's a
• 22:54
  sinner who I think in player. Right tackle, if you give him
• 22:57
  enough reps in give enough time, but you're going to go out there
• 23:02
  on fourth down and give him no help against a guy who has
• 23:06
  beaten multiple times during the during the game.
• 23:09
  Yeah, what are you doing? Well, you know, yet, I'll be
• 23:12
  honest it was a bronze best game, but at the same time he
• 23:14
  was definitely put in Situation's where he was going
• 23:18
  to be hard for him to be successful.
• 23:21
  And, you know, some of that goes back to Vice, not not having a
• 23:24
  plan B. And some of that goes, Back to
• 23:27
  this staff in general, not really having what they need in
• 23:32
  terms of depth, at the offensive line position across the board.
• 23:35
  And we said that was going to be a problem, right?
• 23:37
  So we felt better about this offensive line, then we felt in
• 23:41
  the spring depth-wise. I think we're probably still a
• 23:46
  little iffy one person's or we're one person.
• 23:50
  Sure. We meet we again, we said it the
• 23:53
  whole time we were most shaky at What, our third tackle is going
• 23:58
  to be and we're still shaking with the third tackle is going
• 24:01
  to be and it showed significantly, all right?
• 24:03
  Brian, this was mentioned a couple times.
• 24:07
  This week, once by Chris Coleman at TSL another, by French over
• 24:13
  it to keep lay in the question is Braxton Burmeister hurt in
• 24:18
  some way, we saw it Saturday, there were no read options.
• 24:24
  There haven't been any read options.
• 24:27
  For a while, he's still running and sometimes a little bit
• 24:32
  recklessly when especially that 26 yard run, he put his body on
• 24:36
  the line and get that. Do you think he's hurting some
• 24:39
  way or do you think this is what happened at Middle Tennessee?
• 24:45
  And taking one of the taking a good hit North Carolina.
• 24:48
  Has essentially had us crawl into a hole with what we're
• 24:51
  doing with him or do you think he's legitimately hurt?
• 24:55
  I don't know. At this point, I think it
• 24:58
  probably has more to do with the latter than the former.
• 25:00
  I think he probably is banged up.
• 25:03
  I think he's probably getting treatment on that shoulder from
• 25:06
  the North Carolina. Hit from the bigger hit against
• 25:08
  Middle Tennessee, State. So, he's probably getting
• 25:11
  treatment on it, but I don't think it's necessarily impacting
• 25:14
  his ability to play the game, but I think the staff is making
• 25:18
  a pointed choice of taking the read elements out of our offense
• 25:24
  except On a couple situational calls like on that fourth.
• 25:28
  And one, we're not calling anything that he's is either a
• 25:32
  design run or a read option. We've pretty much taking the
• 25:37
  readout of the out of the Playbook Braxton is just
• 25:40
  carrying out fakes at this point, he is not actually
• 25:43
  reading and making a decision to give the ball.
• 25:48
  So it's going to be interesting to see if we bring some of that
• 25:51
  back as the season goes along so I'm not sure.
• 25:55
  If he's hurt or not in terms of limiting his ability but I
• 26:01
  definitely think he's probably banged up to a point where
• 26:03
  they're making changes and I'm not, I'm not certain that,
• 26:06
  that's a good thing because while I want to keep Braxton
• 26:09
  healthy, you know at some point you're cutting your nose off to
• 26:13
  spite your face with with limiting a what is a run first
• 26:20
  quarterback and taking away his greatest asset?
• 26:24
  It's very true. It's It's very true.
• 26:26
  And, you know, again, we're although the access has gotten
• 26:30
  better this year. There's still a lot, we don't
• 26:34
  know, but to me, it's to your point, the whole, the nose and
• 26:39
  face thing. If you're protecting him, then
• 26:42
  you might as well play knocks gave them because he and Knox.
• 26:47
  You know, passing wise, I would say, on the same level at least
• 26:51
  with Knox. I mean, Knox is not the athlete
• 26:54
  fraction is but at least once every 10 jet sweeps or every 10
• 27:00
  read options, he could pull them down and get six or seven yards
• 27:04
  where he'd have to respect it. I mean, so they need to make a
• 27:09
  decision and that decision either, you're going to play
• 27:13
  with him. Full bore, are you going to
• 27:16
  bench him? And they have to make that
• 27:19
  decision because he because, if it is something where they feel
• 27:22
  like, oh well, he can get hurt more.
• 27:24
  Well, is it something he could sit three weeks and they be
• 27:26
  okay. Yeah, because they're, if he's
• 27:29
  not healthy enough to run the full offense.
• 27:31
  You need to sit him down. If he if he is, then you need to
• 27:34
  run the full offense. There you go.
• 27:36
  Exactly. all right, Brian, once every two years, Other than the
• 27:44
  Virginia Tech game happens on this Saturday.
• 27:50
  Golf takes over my main TV. You're on the go baby Ryder Cup,
• 27:56
  Whistling Straits. I don't know.
• 27:59
  Who else will be out there watching it.
• 28:01
  I am a golf nerd. I love it.
• 28:02
  I literally before we walked in the night, I was watching live
• 28:05
  from the Ryder Cup seeing all the pairings.
• 28:09
  It's one of those events. It's like, the Masters for me.
• 28:14
  It's like several other things. I am going to try to get to in
• 28:17
  the next 5 to 10 years. Like seriously, probably once
• 28:23
  all my kids are in school of school age that I can be like,
• 28:28
  hon, I'm going with some people. I'm going to be back.
• 28:31
  Love you too. Yeah, I mean it's a it's such a
• 28:34
  fun event to watch because it's such a individual achievement
• 28:38
  sport dead like turns into this, like hyper like team atmosphere
• 28:44
  like team for. It's just such a big switch in
• 28:48
  the dynamic. That It just fits so awesome to
• 28:51
  watch. And it's the crowds to, because
• 28:53
  the yeah, Crowds Are huge, crowds are massive.
• 28:57
  And even with the Masters, you needed all the big events there
• 29:01
  can be Roars. Right there can be course.
• 29:03
  I mean somebody hits an eagle at 13 at Augusta.
• 29:08
  That's it. Echoes, but at this to me what
• 29:11
  Ryder Cup is is they literally dropping college football
• 29:14
  atmosphere on the golf course. We 100,000 people, you know,
• 29:17
  sustained and you don't usually have that Attic vents and you
• 29:21
  have an enemy and you have chance and you have, you know,
• 29:25
  Roars. And you have the guys smack
• 29:27
  talking, or normally, if Rory, McIlroy, the Euro would sink a
• 29:32
  birdie putt. He would just walk off the whole
• 29:35
  tip, his hat. You're a couple years ago and he
• 29:38
  put that one on top of read the finger way like no, no, it's
• 29:42
  awesome. So I'm off work Friday.
• 29:47
  So that's why I'm going to be coming back.
• 29:49
  It's it tease at 8:30 and want to swing by get big cup of
• 29:53
  coffee. Probably maybe go to
• 29:54
  Chick-fil-A, get a nice chicken sandwich or maybe rise, get a
• 29:57
  nice, big chicken sandwich, and then sitting here.
• 30:02
  Probably for the better part of nine hours not moving.
• 30:06
  Well as is the move man. Go to rise as is the move.
• 30:10
  Go USA. BT Euros now guys tonight before
• 30:15
  we turn into Know The Enemy, you of our we are going to take a
• 30:19
  quick pause with a message from our digital Partners.
• 30:23
  All right, guys, know, the enemy University of Richmond Coast by
• 30:27
  rush huesemann. They are a top 25 FCS program.
• 30:32
  RAM have been for a couple years now, just missed the playoffs
• 30:35
  last year, probably based more on, not playing enough games
• 30:40
  than actually the record itself. But we're going to kick off
• 30:43
  tonight with their defense. Crying, you told me they are a
• 30:47
  425 defense and I remember listening to the pressure on
• 30:50
  Monday for Wednesday, mentions that five of their defensive
• 30:54
  lineman's could play for us. Well, did we recruit any of
• 30:57
  them? Is the first question I have for
• 30:59
  walk on opportunities, because On the first guy, we talked
• 31:04
  about tonight defensive tackle, Toby.
• 31:07
  Turner out of Clifton, Virginia, 63 298.
• 31:10
  He was a walk-on and Redshirt senior.
• 31:14
  In his career, 117 tackles 25. Tackles for loss 12 and a half
• 31:18
  sacks was the 2020 kosyay, a defensive player of the year,
• 31:25
  From wall gone and now he is getting looked as an NFL
• 31:28
  prospect to get. Drafted next fall, what are you
• 31:31
  seeing from this big guy on tape motor guy really good use of his
• 31:38
  hands. Good job working.
• 31:40
  Leverage getting off blocks. Usually don't see tackle
• 31:45
  machines like this at the defensive tackle position and he
• 31:49
  just he eats things up. So we're going to have a handful
• 31:52
  with him in the middle. You know, hopefully we end up
• 31:56
  working out something at tackles so we have, what is probably our
• 32:00
  are three best combo in there with with Brock.
• 32:03
  And let's see this and either Caleb rajani at Right Guard to
• 32:08
  be able to keep him in check if we're if we slide Brock out,
• 32:12
  then then we're probably getting a little bit thinner in the
• 32:15
  middle there than I'd like to. So yeah, he's going to be the
• 32:20
  big player on defense that we've got to watch.
• 32:22
  He is their game. Talent on the defense.
• 32:26
  Alright? So again, Kobe Turner number 98,
• 32:30
  Walk On Turned All-American, turned NFL prospects and keep an
• 32:34
  eye on him. Alright next, I want to talk
• 32:36
  about Brian. Let's talk about Darius Reynolds
• 32:39
  the six foot two defensive end, 250 pounds out of Yorktown 2020.
• 32:45
  Actually led the CAA and sax. He had like five and four games
• 32:49
  which we very impressive. He is a 60 or senior.
• 32:54
  In his career, 93 tackles 19 tackles for loss in 13 sex or
• 32:58
  really last year. It looked like that was going to
• 33:01
  be, that's really was his coming out party and he's played pretty
• 33:03
  solid this year. What are you seeing from Darius?
• 33:05
  Where is he lined them up for us?
• 33:07
  Yeah, he definitely turned the edge last year.
• 33:11
  He's lining up the defensive end.
• 33:14
  They'll swap sides with those DNS, but he really is kind of
• 33:20
  their their speed rush to go off the edge that they're bringing.
• 33:24
  Special on 3rd and 3rd, and long, he's pin.
• 33:26
  His ears back and coming after the quarterback looks like,
• 33:30
  like, like you said, he's really seem to turn the corner last
• 33:34
  year with the spring season into this year.
• 33:36
  So got to make sure that our tackles are holding up in past
• 33:41
  Pro. He can't have what we had last
• 33:43
  week at the right tackle position and really, really both
• 33:47
  tackles overall didn't have a great game but two new to held
• 33:50
  up a whole lot better than we did on the right side.
• 33:53
  Over also, We gotta make sure that we keep him in check and
• 33:57
  don't don't get Braxton, hit unnecessarily, depending on who
• 34:01
  starts at right, tackle with Reynolds on, do you think we're
• 34:06
  going to if he's lining up on the right tackle?
• 34:08
  Side. Are we going to have to
• 34:09
  essentially put Gallo over there?
• 34:12
  Or at least have someone whoever's in the backfield chip
• 34:15
  every play? Or do you think ever it might be
• 34:18
  could hold up against his talent level?
• 34:21
  You know, I'd like to see us at least give that a try.
• 34:24
  Why? Before before we start sending
• 34:27
  help that way, it's a pretty decent stress test to see if
• 34:32
  we're holding up better than we did last week, I'd like to see
• 34:37
  us be able to. There's no reason that we should
• 34:40
  not be able to hold up against this defensive line overall.
• 34:44
  Like I said, Kobe Turner's. Definitely a handful but the
• 34:47
  other guys are FCS caliber players.
• 34:52
  So Darius Reynolds is a good. Version of that but you know
• 34:56
  there's still a cap there got it.
• 35:00
  Alright Braun, you know, we looked at the d-line really not
• 35:04
  going to look at the secondary tonight because I think the two
• 35:06
  guys in the Middle with what we've been doing on offense or
• 35:12
  the guys, we've got to look at and what we're looking at, is
• 35:14
  the linebackers. We're going to start with number
• 35:15
  41, Tyler Dressler. At a Covington, Virginia's 63.
• 35:19
  245 was an all see a linebacker last year in His career 182,
• 35:26
  tackles 18, tackles for loss, six sacks and an interception.
• 35:30
  The brine is he looking at? This are my course.
• 35:33
  This are more backer PSI position.
• 35:37
  Dressler is more than Mike in the next guy.
• 35:40
  Will talk about Tristan wheeler is more of the backer Dressler
• 35:45
  does a good job of getting off blocks and making tackles when
• 35:49
  they need to in the running game.
• 35:51
  Neither of them are great in terms of their coverage.
• 35:56
  So that's going to be an area where we can take advantage.
• 36:00
  But, but dressler's, definitely the going to be the harder in
• 36:02
  terms of handling the blocks inside the tackles.
• 36:05
  All right. Any any any liabilities and
• 36:08
  coverage is this where we should take advantage of a Dressler?
• 36:12
  Yeah, I mean really, like I said, both of these linebackers
• 36:14
  both, Tyler Dressler and Tristan wheeler are I'd say, just
• 36:18
  average at Best in coverage, that's where I think.
• 36:21
  Should attack them. And in general, I think we need
• 36:24
  to get really everybody across the board involved in the, in
• 36:28
  the passing game this week, and hopefully, we can kind of work
• 36:32
  ourselves into a little more of a Groove there.
• 36:34
  Little T's there, a little tease for, what's coming up later in
• 36:38
  the Hokies gamma version, that's at ease.
• 36:41
  Ladies and gentlemen, that is a tease.
• 36:43
  Alright? Next guy, I want to talk about
• 36:46
  this guy actually, really impressive.
• 36:49
  You already mentioned named Tristan wielder number. 30
• 36:52
  linebacker, Bethlehem PA six 2228, all first, see a first
• 36:57
  team last year in his two-year career, hundred sixty seven,
• 37:00
  tackles six tackles for loss. One sec, two forced fumbles.
• 37:04
  2019. You is the CAA Defensive Rookie
• 37:07
  of the Year and he was also one of the final, one of the 20
• 37:11
  finalists for the rights award. The rice award is given to the
• 37:15
  top FCS freshman. In 2019, It Was Won by trade.
• 37:21
  Lance. I'm very familiar with him.
• 37:23
  He's a helluva. Just a this guy was a finalist
• 37:27
  in. You know, you think about us CS
• 37:29
  there's well over 100 Schools. And there's only 20 name to the
• 37:34
  file has, he was one of them and those that's in a couple of
• 37:37
  years. Ryan he is, you know, he might
• 37:40
  not be much in coverage but he can tackle.
• 37:42
  Yeah, he can definitely tackle. He makes a lot of good plays and
• 37:45
  he doesn't miss a lot of tackles.
• 37:46
  I think that's the big thing is that he does good there and he
• 37:49
  does a good job of cleaning up kind of the spill area when it
• 37:53
  when he has that kind of edge responsibility there.
• 37:56
  So he does really good at getting off the blocks as well.
• 38:00
  Similar to Dressler, but does not.
• 38:02
  But he's still kind of a liability and coverage, so
• 38:04
  hopefully we can take advantage of of him there.
• 38:08
  And like I said that, I want to see us do a little bit more with
• 38:11
  that so we'll see how that goes. Alright.
• 38:13
  Right now I'm looking here, there are a couple guys that you
• 38:17
  want to talk about in the secondary.
• 38:20
  And the first one here that we're looking at is six foot
• 38:22
  two, Amar Hall at a Baltimore Maryland but obviously younger
• 38:28
  guy out of Maryland. Play four games.
• 38:32
  Spring in ranked fourth on the team in tackles, which is pretty
• 38:36
  impressive for a younger guy, especially defensive back
• 38:39
  position. What are we seeing from him
• 38:44
  Ryan? So this is kind of like what we
• 38:48
  were talking about with some of the safety play last year last
• 38:51
  week with West Virginia is that he makes some good plays here
• 38:55
  and there but he also is prone to some big mistakes so
• 38:59
  hopefully we can we can take advantage of the mistake.
• 39:02
  Takes that he will make in the game.
• 39:05
  Redshirt freshman. I mean, they're still growing
• 39:07
  pains there, so that kind of makes sense, right?
• 39:10
  And again the thing I'm focusing on this week is what we can do
• 39:14
  in the passing game to take some of this, allow the offense have
• 39:20
  a little bit more space to operate because that's a big
• 39:22
  problem that we've had, especially early in the West
• 39:25
  Virginia game. We had early in the Middle,
• 39:27
  Tennessee, State game. We got tight in the Second, half
• 39:32
  against UNC. We've got to do something to
• 39:34
  kind of space. This filled out a little bit
• 39:36
  more to let this offense start to hum a little bit better.
• 39:39
  Well, I mean, I think if we take a look at some of the again,
• 39:42
  those third and fourth quarter route Concepts, if we can start
• 39:45
  just getting those involved early in the game, whether we're
• 39:48
  taking shots or not. Yeah.
• 39:50
  Because how about I'm not saying what either draw back and take
• 39:52
  shots all day, but I want to see.
• 39:55
  Oh, yeah. The two guys were talkin about.
• 39:57
  So Amir Hall, and we're going to talk about Aaron Banks here in a
• 40:00
  second. Both of them are prone to make
• 40:02
  mistakes in the secondary. They are solid players but they
• 40:06
  are prone to make mistakes. That's where we need to.
• 40:08
  Capitalize. We need to be able to go out
• 40:10
  there and beat these guys and and put some yardage up on this
• 40:15
  week. Speaking of an Banks, five foot,
• 40:18
  eleven hundred eighty pound. Redshirt Junior out of Stephen
• 40:20
  City career. Just 20, just 32 tackles so
• 40:27
  obviously, you know, in a four-year career.
• 40:29
  He's only played 16 games sow. Sparingly, looks like this is
• 40:33
  his year to start. As a redshirt Junior.
• 40:36
  You already mentioned it. One time.
• 40:37
  What sort of errors are you seeing?
• 40:38
  That he's making like you mentioned with all so him and
• 40:43
  particular got beat on a couple. Double moves doesn't not have
• 40:47
  not a very willing tackler. He doesn't do a good job of
• 40:50
  coming up and making the play tackling as well.
• 40:53
  So I think we should be able to run at him.
• 40:56
  I think we should be able to throw at him if he if he work
• 40:58
  some, some, you know, double move Concepts into the end of
• 41:03
  the game there. So like a hitch and go or, you
• 41:06
  know, Sluggo or something like that.
• 41:08
  All right. Run Houston's known for his
• 41:13
  defense but just looking at the tape in general, I know you
• 41:16
  really looked at the Villanova game which I mean guys, they
• 41:21
  basically had a two-touchdown lead, you know, going into the
• 41:26
  last two minutes of that game and they lost or one touchdown
• 41:29
  lead two touchdown lead with nine minutes to play one
• 41:32
  touchdown lead with two minutes to play and they essentially
• 41:35
  gave up 21 points and of course of nine minutes, they more or
• 41:39
  less shut down. Villanova's offense for like
• 41:43
  three and a half quarters because good, I think 10 of
• 41:48
  those points the Villanova got early on were on very short
• 41:52
  Fields. So you know, Richmond did a good
• 41:55
  job against Villanova for three and a half quarters and then
• 41:57
  just kind of let that one slip away from them.
• 42:01
  All right. Well, let's flip over to the
• 42:03
  offensive side of the ball. Brian and I know there's one
• 42:06
  offensive lineman you want to talk about that's going to be
• 42:08
  Tim Coleman out of Stone Mountain.
• 42:11
  Georgia. He was a transfer from Furman
• 42:14
  and actually something that you don't see too often a three-star
• 42:19
  guy, 24/7 and for rival. So he did have some recruiting
• 42:26
  looked at while he was a recruit.
• 42:29
  He was a freshman All-American while he was at.
• 42:31
  I mean then transfers over to Richmond and right now you know,
• 42:36
  in his career at Richmond, you know, he's played in 29 games so
• 42:41
  it looks like he's officially. He got there.
• 42:43
  He was in some sort of role for the last three years in
• 42:46
  continuing was with his role this year.
• 42:49
  What are we seeing from this left, tackle on tape, Brian at
• 42:52
  64 320. He's the most solid and
• 42:55
  consistent offensive lineman. So really, if we can figure out
• 43:00
  a way to I get Garbutt on the opposite side of him going and
• 43:06
  hopefully barno can maybe get some one-on-one situations and
• 43:08
  still beat him here because, you know, we've seen Garbutt kind of
• 43:13
  take steady steps here but we need to see.
• 43:15
  I think the entirety of the defensive line take care of this
• 43:19
  offensive line. The offensive line overall is
• 43:23
  that's a average. They're not built like your
• 43:26
  typical FCS line. Like I said both sides in the
• 43:28
  trenches. They've got some good size to
• 43:30
  them. And Tim Coleman is probably the
• 43:34
  best of the bunch. So if we can show out and show
• 43:36
  that we can actually get pressure on the quarterback in
• 43:39
  one-on-one situations against him, I'll feel pretty good
• 43:42
  about, you know, steps were taking on the defensive line,
• 43:45
  right? What kind of alternative concept
• 43:47
  though, are they? So they're kind of like that
• 43:51
  that power or Smash Mouth spread, they like to run the
• 43:53
  ball out of the spray Concepts re option but they'll Sling It
• 43:58
  Down feel as well. Very similar offense to kind of
• 44:03
  what Ohio State kind of runs. That's what I was trying to say,
• 44:06
  is this something if we looked at it out of state, this would
• 44:08
  be. This would be a much lesser
• 44:12
  version of that. Yeah.
• 44:13
  It's as kind of a simplified or version of what Ohio State runs.
• 44:18
  Well, Awesome. All right.
• 44:20
  Well, let's go get some skill position guys.
• 44:22
  And I want to start with probably the guy that jumped out
• 44:25
  the most to me, you know, Aaron Dykes 511, 200, pound running
• 44:30
  back out of Knoxville Tennessee, you know, so far this year 215
• 44:36
  yards from scrimmage for four touchdowns and we're facing
• 44:40
  another stud kick returner that which you did great last week
• 44:44
  but don't sleep on this guy. Yards and three touchdowns in
• 44:51
  his career. He's almost averaging 28 or
• 44:53
  return. He's housed a 98-yard or against
• 44:56
  Villanova. So this guy's got versatility
• 45:00
  written all over him. Both in the run, the pass and a
• 45:03
  special team came. What are you seeing on the tape
• 45:06
  runs? Yeah, I mean, we're dealing with
• 45:08
  another versatile running back. Like we were last last week guy
• 45:12
  that can run between the tackles run outside.
• 45:15
  Catch the ball in space, make guys, miss not As Elite as Letty
• 45:21
  was last week but still can do all those type of similar
• 45:24
  things. So we're going to have to be
• 45:26
  ready on defense to not only get off blocks and make the tackle.
• 45:31
  Make sure we're Gap sound but also you know, when we're there
• 45:36
  in the passing game, you've got to make the tackle, we don't to
• 45:38
  give him a free run and open space.
• 45:42
  Alright, now the next thing I'm going to talk about seven Smith,
• 45:48
  I'm assuming just looking at the data.
• 45:50
  He's not a pass catcher at all Izzy.
• 45:52
  No this is definitely kind of short short yardage change of
• 45:56
  pace, third and long back. If you need a an extra man to
• 46:00
  block okay and that's the type of player he is for them.
• 46:05
  All right. Um at a Winchester Virginia, 59
• 46:08
  200. So obviously talk about power
• 46:10
  little shorter but the Yeah, these guys that stocky back,
• 46:14
  that still has that athleticism that little wiggle.
• 46:18
  Good good. Good Dom, good yards per carry
• 46:20
  and 5.8 I'm 157 for the year with one touchdown his reception
• 46:26
  numbers look like I think he's got like nine for like 14 yards.
• 46:29
  Literally he is the last option I'm going to guess.
• 46:34
  Yeah. He's very he's very much a dump
• 46:37
  and if no one else has open type situation, just get get what you
• 46:41
  can get. It's not, they're not scheming
• 46:43
  him into the passing game at all.
• 46:46
  All right, either these guys, obviously, they're not letting
• 46:50
  brown but not division, one level.
• 46:53
  But do they do the either one scare you wear.
• 46:56
  If we, we make an error, they can make us pay for the
• 47:00
  touchdown. I mean, the big thing is with
• 47:03
  Dykes when we were there, we got to make the tackle, we can't let
• 47:06
  him get to the second level and have space to show his
• 47:09
  athleticism. All right, so that's the big
• 47:12
  thing. That that's the, that's the area
• 47:15
  that scares me that if he gets past that kind of second level
• 47:18
  with a lot of space to run, he's because of his view, he shown
• 47:22
  the vision in the open field on special teams.
• 47:25
  He can, he can house a big play. All right, so let's keep an eye
• 47:31
  on number three are indicts of make sure we don't make any
• 47:37
  boneheaded assignment mistakes, like we did against WVU, and
• 47:42
  give them something that we show you, where you need to be, make
• 47:45
  the tackle, that's it. Alright, let's look at the code.
• 47:49
  The other skill position, guys. Braun on Isaac brown, one of
• 47:53
  their big wide outs at a Winchester also serve on Smith's
• 47:57
  house. Cool teammate.
• 47:59
  And first year really in a production role.
• 48:02
  Because in his first 19 games only have forty six receptions
• 48:06
  in the last three seasons, three games in.
• 48:09
  He's already a quarter of a way there to hitting his production
• 48:14
  numbers reception wise, and then he's already at half the yard.
• 48:19
  So obviously, like most FCS teams, usually your red shirt,
• 48:23
  juniors, seniors, maybe even a grad transfer We're going to be
• 48:29
  you know getting their production then not freshman and
• 48:33
  sophomore. So what are we seeing at Isaac
• 48:36
  Ryan? I think, Brown is kind of the
• 48:38
  stick mover for them. He's starting to come on a
• 48:43
  little bit. Definitely a good outlet for
• 48:46
  them on third down. Nothing too scary in terms of
• 48:53
  your deep threats or anything like that, but he's definitely
• 48:57
  got. We got to keep an eye on to make
• 48:58
  sure that, you know, we get off the field on third down.
• 49:01
  All right, so one of those does it look like we'll talk about
• 49:05
  Mancuso in a few minutes here but is it look like when it is
• 49:08
  that third and five? Do you are you seeing Mancuso's
• 49:12
  head to look for him quicker than he's looking for anybody
• 49:15
  else on the field? I mean, based on the play calls
• 49:18
  That they're getting, they get, they definitely give him those,
• 49:22
  you know, get past the stick routes all day Downs.
• 49:26
  Got it. Alright.
• 49:28
  Another guy a little bit more of a back story here because it's a
• 49:30
  division, one Talent Galley, Roy Henley 62 215 out of Pompano
• 49:34
  Beach. Florida transferred down from
• 49:37
  EC, you have very minimal production down at ECU for two
• 49:41
  seasons. Just twenty four receptions in
• 49:43
  16 games for 264 yards and right now.
• 49:49
  Seven games with you of are already eclipsed.
• 49:52
  The yard at 324 couple touchdowns with the same number
• 49:56
  of receptions. He was a three-star, I High
• 49:59
  School in. This is one that catches your
• 50:01
  eye because we always talk about certain States, top 100 players
• 50:05
  are really good players. He was ranked number 75 in
• 50:09
  Florida. The year he came out so that
• 50:13
  probably means he does have some Talent Grime.
• 50:17
  What is the tape telling you about?
• 50:18
  Outta style. I mean, tapes telling me he's a
• 50:21
  pretty good all-around receiver with the ability to get deep and
• 50:26
  take the top off the defense of time.
• 50:28
  So he's the one that we want to watch in terms of those big
• 50:32
  plays. We want to make sure we're not
• 50:34
  giving up big plays and letting them get open in the back, part
• 50:38
  of the defensive running free. All right.
• 50:41
  Let me ask this about it because when you talk about him, getting
• 50:44
  the big plays are the big, plays him getting there.
• 50:48
  Or is it more of a high? We're scheming to get him deep
• 50:53
  because He's not going to feed everybody off the line, but if
• 50:58
  we can get it, 35 yards downfield.
• 51:02
  It'll be guys, will be step for step with him.
• 51:05
  Not right on top of them. It's a little bit of both.
• 51:12
  He's shown some ability to get open in coverage, but he's also
• 51:17
  they definitely do a good job of scheming him, open on some of
• 51:20
  those routes making the safety have to make a choice.
• 51:24
  And that gives him the ability to run free sometimes.
• 51:29
  All right. What's give me just give me the
• 51:36
  two routes that you see the most from them that we have to worry
• 51:40
  about. I mean we got burned a couple
• 51:44
  times on it but they like to run the corner with him so and They
• 51:54
  run dig a lot. So, linebackers got to make sure
• 51:59
  we're not. Not moving out of our zones.
• 52:02
  Say cheese got to be able to come up and make a tackle there
• 52:04
  as well. All right, we're going to look
• 52:07
  at the tight end now, to Brown. Now this is a tight end.
• 52:11
  I look at his size and I look at his background.
• 52:16
  It seems to me, I don't know how this guy didn't wind up at a D1.
• 52:19
  As preferred walk-on. His name is Conner.
• 52:22
  Devane number 83, He's six foot five, he's 256 pounds out of
• 52:27
  Medford, New Jersey. Um, he is considered a redshirt
• 52:31
  freshman because of the NCAA rule, but he played in every
• 52:35
  game last year, all four of them, and he's played in every
• 52:40
  game this year so far. He also played basketball in
• 52:45
  high school, where, you know, he essentially averaged 18 points a
• 52:49
  game as a senior. So, so, definitely showing some
• 52:53
  Lettuce is MM there, and so far this year, first couple games,
• 52:59
  not a big, not a lot of Statistics, but the last game,
• 53:04
  Ryan, Reed catches 50 yards. So something happened between
• 53:10
  the first two games, maybe, because they blew the blue
• 53:13
  Lehigh. And they bloom Howard out is why
• 53:16
  he didn't see anything, but what do you see from devaney on tape?
• 53:21
  He kind of has a that classic tight in frame.
• 53:25
  He's definitely more of a balance tight end.
• 53:27
  He's a good blocker, good in in routes, but he's not someone
• 53:33
  like a joker tight end. It's just out there splitting
• 53:36
  out lining up all over the field.
• 53:39
  He's not that type of tight end and you talk about, you know,
• 53:43
  guys that are playing like lower level college football that have
• 53:48
  that division. One body?
• 53:51
  I'll throw this one back at you here.
• 53:54
  We had a guy, my freshman year at hand and Sydney.
• 53:56
  Cold Downer ended up in the making game, caught the winning
• 54:01
  touchdown for us in 2002 transferred from him to City to
• 54:08
  Clemson and started for them for a year.
• 54:12
  So you don't, you know, you sometimes see these bigger body
• 54:17
  guys at these lower level schools and it's kind of crazy.
• 54:20
  He like that. So he kind of fits that like I
• 54:23
  said, the classic tight in mold, which is why you see him have
• 54:28
  some, some big games when those concepts are open and then you
• 54:33
  see him, you know, almost disappear when they're not.
• 54:36
  So he's not somebody that they're scheming their offense
• 54:40
  around, but he's definitely a guy that if he's open he can he
• 54:42
  can make the catch and do some things with it.
• 54:45
  Well, that's pretty wild because you know you normally don't see
• 54:49
  if anything you see. like a You see the D3 guy maybe get up to
• 54:54
  the FCS level right because of some reason unless they're
• 54:59
  playing it like Mountain Union or Whitewater.
• 55:03
  They'll stay there their whole time but you know it's crazy
• 55:08
  that someone went from D3 to Clemson and mid-2000, Clemson
• 55:12
  wasn't terrible. They hadn't had that quite dip
• 55:15
  under Tommy yet. But you know, If you're this guy
• 55:21
  or if you're other schools and you see the body type and you
• 55:23
  see what he does, do you think there's going to be some
• 55:26
  sniffing around? He's a red chair, he's a
• 55:28
  freshman. He's got for you.
• 55:30
  He's got multiple years of Eligibility left, you think
• 55:32
  somebody's going to sneak around to you of ours campus and try to
• 55:36
  convince him to. Hey, come on over.
• 55:45
  Yeah, I mean there's that possibility there, but I think
• 55:49
  he's going to need to show a little bit more than we've seen
• 55:51
  from so far. But he's got the, he's
• 55:53
  definitely got the body type. I'd like to see a little bit
• 55:55
  more production than what we've seen thus far, but he's
• 55:59
  definitely a guy. You got to keep an eye on just
• 56:01
  because he does have the ability when he's called upon very nice.
• 56:06
  All right, last person we're going to look at will be the
• 56:09
  quarterback and is Joe, Mancuso 64, 215, out of Blairsville
• 56:14
  Well, Georgia and looked at his 2019 stats, because I feel like
• 56:19
  getting a full season of SCS, got would be better than trying
• 56:22
  to go for games. Solid not spectacular through
• 56:26
  the air 2100 plus yards, 13, touchdowns 10 interceptions.
• 56:32
  But what got me scared - when I looked at his Russian
• 56:36
  statistics, thanks 147 yards. Little over four and a half
• 56:41
  yards per carry 4.7 in touch. Aaron's.
• 56:45
  So whether he's just using his 64 215 frame to go through
• 56:50
  people. Or he's got some feet, it scares
• 56:53
  me because of things that have happened in the past, with
• 56:56
  Virginia Tech and guys, who can move.
• 56:59
  Yeah, I definitely hear your concern and I'm going to
• 57:04
  probably not alleviate it, but I'll at least give it a little
• 57:07
  bit of a massage here, overall athleticism.
• 57:12
  He's closer to Sam how than, like Italy.
• 57:14
  Level players that we've seen in the past.
• 57:17
  What are that? Being that being said, because
• 57:20
  of the style of offense that they run, he does get a good
• 57:23
  number of carries and a lot of times those carries are out of
• 57:27
  the read option. Where if we aren't being
• 57:30
  disciplined, he can get a 10 or 15 yard free run.
• 57:34
  Before we really have somebody there to make a play, so that
• 57:39
  that's that's where the concern is.
• 57:40
  So he, you know, overall athleticism.
• 57:43
  He's not a Bryce Perkins, it. I'm going to run, you know, the
• 57:46
  big one on you. Ok, but at the same time he is
• 57:52
  athletic enough where he's going to make plays consistently in
• 57:56
  the offense and we've got to be able to tackle him and we got to
• 57:59
  be disciplined and being where we need to be.
• 58:04
  All right. What about his arm?
• 58:06
  I mean, I see 10 or sections. The 13, I touch down.
• 58:11
  That's almost one-to-one. I mean, is he an errant throw
• 58:15
  guy? Or is it?
• 58:17
  He's got a good enough alarm where there's Windows, he's
• 58:19
  trying to squeeze it in there based on their offense.
• 58:25
  Yeah, I mean, he's definitely got a good arm.
• 58:27
  I'd say accuracy is about average, but he has the arm that
• 58:31
  can make all the throws that you want to quarterback to me.
• 58:36
  All right. Yep.
• 58:37
  So the big thing, again, similar to last week is to get pressure
• 58:42
  on him in the pocket and make him get rid of the ball before
• 58:47
  he's ready. All right.
• 58:49
  Well let's hope we can do that. And let's go ahead and flip it
• 58:53
  Ron. Let's get to the hope and Gamma
• 58:55
  version and we got offense lined up first, but since we're coming
• 58:58
  off their offense on uplift our defense you just said it get him
• 59:03
  off a spot. I'm Mari bar know.
• 59:05
  We both said this, we have not seen him in the stat lines and
• 59:10
  we really haven't seen them make much of an impact.
• 59:14
  The last two games. Yep, he has to make an impact.
• 59:18
  This guy. He's got to get his footing back
• 59:20
  and make an impact in this game. Yeah, we need to do a good job
• 59:24
  of getting him ready for this game and ready to make an
• 59:27
  impact. On the defense.
• 59:29
  We've seen two games in a row where he's been steady, but he
• 59:33
  hasn't flashed that ability that we needed and that we got from
• 59:38
  him against UNC. I don't know whether that's
• 59:41
  getting tape from UNC and they figured out a way to slow.
• 59:44
  So some of that down or what it may be, but whatever it is.
• 59:49
  We need to see the ability that he's flashed last year and the
• 59:53
  ability that we saw against UNC come out, more consistently.
• 59:59
  Alright, the next one and we discussed this Sunday at
• 1:00:04
  nauseam. The first two games was probably
• 1:00:09
  some of the best tackling games we might have had in the last
• 1:00:12
  decade. Saturday, not so much.
• 1:00:16
  Nothing burned us for a touchdown per se, but it kept
• 1:00:19
  drives going. What do we have to do to clean
• 1:00:23
  it up? Ron?
• 1:00:27
  I think the big thing is just, I mean, it's got to be tackling
• 1:00:30
  and it's got to be consistently being where you need to be, so
• 1:00:33
  you're not reaching. So we saw on the opening
• 1:00:36
  touchdown Dax, come in, missed the tackle part of that was
• 1:00:40
  because someone wasn't in the right position, right?
• 1:00:44
  So a lot of times missed tackles occur because we're not Gap
• 1:00:49
  sound. We're not making the right run,
• 1:00:52
  fits things like that. So so it starts by doing the
• 1:00:56
  those things, right? And then that kind of can feed
• 1:00:58
  into making the tackle but another thing that we saw last
• 1:01:02
  week was a couple plays. I'm going to call out
• 1:01:06
  specifically tomorrow, Connor on a third down, coming for a kill
• 1:01:11
  shot. And instead of wrapping up and
• 1:01:14
  then you don't get the guy to the ground at some point, you
• 1:01:18
  know, they end up making a play after the fact and that cost us
• 1:01:22
  a third down conversion there. So, If you're going to go for
• 1:01:26
  the kill shot, make sure you're wrapping up, too.
• 1:01:29
  Absolutely Brown. The next thing I'm going to say
• 1:01:33
  is I can't remember who it was against West Virginia or was on
• 1:01:39
  West Virginia but after the wall or interception I was watching
• 1:01:44
  that play back today and if he got out of that little muck
• 1:01:49
  there was the wall, the defensive line had gotten out in
• 1:01:52
  front and You know it's one of those things I think now, we're
• 1:01:59
  so accustomed to the way the offense is working that it's one
• 1:02:04
  of those like score, we're too close scorpion, old-fashioned
• 1:02:10
  Beamer ball defensive, touchdown in a key moment.
• 1:02:13
  And I think that's going to be what we need this week and not
• 1:02:16
  necessarily to win the football game.
• 1:02:18
  But just from a mentality standpoint, I'd like to see a
• 1:02:22
  score defensive touchdown this week, whether it be A scoop and
• 1:02:26
  score or Pick 6. Yep.
• 1:02:29
  Something that that the defense kind of was gaining.
• 1:02:34
  It swag back in the second half. I think something like that
• 1:02:37
  early could really set the tone for the whole game, you know, we
• 1:02:44
  haven't had one in a while, you feel like it's coming the way
• 1:02:49
  the way you've talked about the, you know, sometimes making bad
• 1:02:53
  judgments. He threw one against Villanova
• 1:02:55
  and So maybe this is the game, all right, let slip it to the
• 1:03:01
  offense for on. What do you want to see?
• 1:03:03
  What's the first thing? You want to see out of the
• 1:03:05
  offenses week? I want to see better
• 1:03:10
  matriculating of the offense up and down the field along with
• 1:03:14
  the ability to hit some big plays.
• 1:03:16
  Whether in the running game or the passing game, we shouldn't
• 1:03:20
  be forced off the field. As often as we were against
• 1:03:24
  Middle Tennessee, State, Against this defense, we need to
• 1:03:28
  consistently move the football and put points on the board.
• 1:03:32
  Alright. And you know That's why it's one
• 1:03:37
  of those things. That's why the second half kind
• 1:03:40
  of what happened. I want to see more of yeah that
• 1:03:46
  7 6 10 12 because the way you know, you start matriculating
• 1:03:54
  the ball, the shot start coming the shots you if you want to go
• 1:03:58
  down field, they're going to be there because there's going to
• 1:04:00
  be tighter covered job but also They can't come but so far up,
• 1:04:07
  right? You also get running Lane
• 1:04:09
  starting to be open because they're not just keying in that.
• 1:04:13
  They're running the ball, you know, find the Gap and go.
• 1:04:17
  So it's kind of both ways, right?
• 1:04:19
  Hit those short passes. I know it's something you really
• 1:04:21
  want to see Brian because it's one of those things.
• 1:04:26
  Like if you just can hit some short stuff, easy stuff a you
• 1:04:29
  get Braxton's confidence up and be you start opening up every
• 1:04:34
  single. Ghal other thing we do well and
• 1:04:38
  the life of me, I don't understand why we can't
• 1:04:41
  Implement that in the game plans early but I'll digress on it.
• 1:04:45
  Now the second piece brine we talked about it already talking
• 1:04:49
  about the right tackle situation but we we've got to if
• 1:04:55
  regardless we need to keep practicing up.
• 1:04:58
  Right? Yeah we need to keep Braixen
• 1:05:01
  upright so the passing game can have the effect that we want.
• 1:05:05
  Did too. And I think that's that's the
• 1:05:07
  big thing that we need to focus on is is making sure Braxton has
• 1:05:11
  the time for this offense to function and to get The Passing
• 1:05:16
  game going. And I think hopefully that will
• 1:05:20
  get because right now, he looks like some of his drop backs.
• 1:05:23
  He's kind of got that. That dance and feed in the
• 1:05:27
  backfield and ready to take off pretty quick.
• 1:05:29
  And I don't know if some of that is just not having a good feel
• 1:05:32
  for the pocket, whether it's the injury concern, or whether it's
• 1:05:36
  just feeling a little shaky about the offensive line, but
• 1:05:40
  I'd like to see us get into a little more of a Groove there
• 1:05:43
  this week and hopefully Braxton will play better as a result of
• 1:05:47
  that. Abso-freakin'-lutely.
• 1:05:50
  That's really the big key is getting him comfortable back
• 1:05:53
  there and I know it's one of those things.
• 1:05:56
  You can say it's easy and whatnot.
• 1:05:59
  Oh, it's so easy to say, get him comfortable, but the piece
• 1:06:02
  becomes getting somebody. Comfortable is also getting
• 1:06:06
  three and five and making them comfortable because it's like
• 1:06:11
  anything. He gets comfortable at three and
• 1:06:13
  five eventually. When you go to a seven, if no
• 1:06:16
  one has been up in his grill at 3 and Five, when he hits that
• 1:06:19
  7-foot, it's not going to be crap.
• 1:06:23
  Somebody's about to hit me it's going to be.
• 1:06:25
  Where's Trey? Where's Ted?
• 1:06:26
  We have the seam open, right? Yep semental.
• 1:06:30
  It's one of the biggest mental pieces of it.
• 1:06:31
  That's why you see some of the best guys, you know, of all
• 1:06:36
  time, you know, they get comfortable oil.
• 1:06:39
  And next thing, you know, they hit that 7-foot my guys are
• 1:06:42
  holding up for me. I'm not going to get to it.
• 1:06:45
  So yeah, all right. Last piece Brian.
• 1:06:50
  The show us. He's not injured.
• 1:06:53
  Let's put the read back in read option.
• 1:06:57
  Yeah, that's that's an absolute must and we talked about it
• 1:07:02
  earlier. It's not so much that We want to
• 1:07:07
  see the quarterback, have a ton of carries.
• 1:07:09
  We don't want to have the quarterback have unnecessary
• 1:07:12
  carries, but the point of the read option is To let the
• 1:07:18
  quarterback, keep the football when it is schematically,
• 1:07:23
  correct to do. So meaning that he will have
• 1:07:25
  some degree of free run to get some yardage and still have the
• 1:07:30
  ability to get down. If he needs to, I got, I don't
• 1:07:32
  want him. Taking unnecessary hits, but at
• 1:07:35
  the same time, the way this offense functions, we cannot
• 1:07:40
  take the Reeds out of the read option because it comes a very
• 1:07:43
  generic offense, without that element to it.
• 1:07:47
  Very true and the read option. Same way, get a little RPO going
• 1:07:51
  right, you get Al RPO, you're holding the end, you're holding
• 1:07:54
  the linebackers lanes. Are opening up again by not
• 1:07:59
  having it in teams are just saying, well, they're going to
• 1:08:03
  hand it off. Crash the line.
• 1:08:06
  Drop back into your Zone. Find the Gap.
• 1:08:09
  It's it's, it's we're simplistic were basic.
• 1:08:17
  And, you know, sometimes the way we run our offense in general,
• 1:08:22
  it looks too vanilla and it makes you be honest.
• 1:08:26
  It makes you question. How big is this Playboy?
• 1:08:29
  Yeah, and it needs to be bigger than what it is right now
• 1:08:34
  because it's way too easy for the coordinators, the key
• 1:08:39
  without having Superior Talent. Yep.
• 1:08:44
  I think that's the big thing is that, you know, without Out
• 1:08:47
  there still the threat there for Braxton to run.
• 1:08:49
  Just because We are carrying out the fake so they've got an
• 1:08:53
  honor. It but pretty much the only
• 1:08:57
  person honoring it now is that re Defender, right?
• 1:09:01
  No, but nobody else on the defense is really caring about
• 1:09:04
  whether Braxton keeps it or not. You know, the, your DN is doing
• 1:09:09
  their squeeze and pop technique and outside of that, nobody's
• 1:09:13
  really focusing on it because we haven't shown that we're going
• 1:09:16
  to run it to any any degree of frequency, right?
• 1:09:20
  Know what do we have in training?
• 1:09:23
  His Ryan has been some scrambling in in the thing.
• 1:09:27
  He said, like he's had a couple design runs that were all the
• 1:09:31
  way quarterback designer, runs quarterback Powers with gay guys
• 1:09:37
  significantly smaller when you have a perfect option to bring
• 1:09:40
  Off the Bench. Let's not even get into that
• 1:09:43
  because we'll get real pissed. You know like you have a guy on
• 1:09:47
  the bench again, do this? Just let him do that job.
• 1:09:50
  Alright bun, we've talked the enemy.
• 1:09:53
  Me we've called the version. We want to see this week of the
• 1:09:55
  Hokies. Let's make our predictions here
• 1:09:57
  man. And if I have chosen your know,
• 1:10:02
  I would still be on the show. So ha ha ha.
• 1:10:11
  First of all, being in Richmond, we hear a lot about Richmond.
• 1:10:15
  We know more about them. And are they a good team?
• 1:10:18
  Yes. But this is not the Richmond
• 1:10:20
  from the early or the Thousands that were built under Clawson,
• 1:10:24
  and London, coached up. This isn't the one who can beat
• 1:10:28
  it for national championship and knocked off UVA.
• 1:10:31
  They're a good team, but they're not good enough to defeat at the
• 1:10:34
  division. One level, I think this is going
• 1:10:37
  to be similar to Middle Tennessee.
• 1:10:39
  I think we might start a little faster, but probably not fast
• 1:10:42
  enough for us as fans. I'm going to go 3413
• 1:10:47
  comfortable, threescore win, Okay, I'm come very close to
• 1:10:54
  that. I'm actually going about a
• 1:10:56
  touchdown more than you on the Hokey side there.
• 1:10:58
  I'm going 4213, I see this as being.
• 1:11:06
  This is going to go like Middle Tennessee, if the Hokies
• 1:11:09
  actually woke up in the first quarter, all right?
• 1:11:13
  They actually, they actually played as if the first quarter
• 1:11:15
  was a thing. So we at least put points up in
• 1:11:18
  the first quarter. Probably not as fast of a start
• 1:11:22
  as we'd like, but still a lot better than what we saw against
• 1:11:25
  Middle, Tennessee, pour it on late.
• 1:11:28
  Get some of the second string, guys in there.
• 1:11:31
  And I think that's going to be important, too, because we know
• 1:11:33
  that sea, Because death is depth of such a big, big problem for
• 1:11:39
  us. Right now, the more reps we can
• 1:11:40
  get against live competition, the better we're going to be
• 1:11:42
  that that starts at quarterback getting knocks more reps this
• 1:11:46
  week. You know especially if Braxton
• 1:11:49
  is truly nursing some sort of injury and we might need knocks
• 1:11:52
  at some point later in the season.
• 1:11:54
  I want to see more offensive line rotations.
• 1:12:00
  Figure out what the fuck you want to do at right tackle some
• 1:12:05
  of the week. This is the week figure out who
• 1:12:08
  the third tackle is. And I mean, I'd say on on
• 1:12:14
  defense get some of those young guys on the defensive line, some
• 1:12:17
  reps because we're going to need them long term as well, just get
• 1:12:22
  on the rise because the way things look you could be short
• 1:12:25
  next year. Just the way we recruited and
• 1:12:28
  everything. So yeah.
• 1:12:30
  So we are we are back to our ways of both picking the Hokies
• 1:12:34
  to win. And in a I would say impressive
• 1:12:38
  but three touchdown plus fashion for both.
• 1:12:40
  Yeah, all right. Ron time for Saturday.
• 1:12:43
  Pickles here. We're going to do ten more
• 1:12:45
  games. Seven ACC three out of
• 1:12:47
  conference. Brian is as MIT as bit can be
• 1:12:52
  blown it. So, let's see what happens this
• 1:12:56
  week. And let's start on Friday night,
• 1:12:58
  Braun just up the road here. It's 64.
• 1:13:02
  Wake Forest versus UVA. Wake coming off a 35-14 win over
• 1:13:08
  FSU. The VA scored more than 35, but
• 1:13:13
  still lost by 20 to you and engine got 39.
• 1:13:17
  So, shake your head on that one. Since you are the leader in the
• 1:13:22
  house. Are you taking on this one?
• 1:13:26
  Man, this this one I've been struggling with dude.
• 1:13:31
  I like wake top-to-bottom better.
• 1:13:34
  I like uva's offense. The question is going to be is
• 1:13:41
  wakes defense enough to kind of hold them down enough for wakes
• 1:13:46
  offense, to do, just enough to pull out the victory because
• 1:13:50
  it's essentially a pick. I mean, it's a for not quite in
• 1:13:53
  the pickup zone. I'll take UVA and lay the
• 1:14:04
  points. You're going to take Eva and lay
• 1:14:06
  the points. All right, Brian after seeing
• 1:14:11
  that game last week, where they didn't, the bigger part of last
• 1:14:16
  week was this they were playing UNC without three starters on
• 1:14:22
  the offensive line without three starters, UNC didn't have to
• 1:14:28
  punt. Yep.
• 1:14:30
  They did not have to punt and the me that would, that's the
• 1:14:34
  bigger concern. Because you're dealing with fam
• 1:14:37
  Hartman a veteran quarterback. Yep, we forced a very good
• 1:14:43
  offense and they solid defense. I think this game is going to be
• 1:14:48
  high and looking at it right now the or high-scoring looking at
• 1:14:52
  it right now, the over-under in this game currently Brian is at
• 1:14:57
  68 and a half, I think. That's too low.
• 1:14:59
  Dive go over. I think weight gets one
• 1:15:03
  additional stop and they win this game. 42-38 give me the
• 1:15:10
  points because I think weights going to pull the road upset
• 1:15:15
  here in Charlottesville and on a night.
• 1:15:19
  It'll make me happy. I mean week is a much more
• 1:15:22
  likeable team than UVA, you know, rivalry aside, all right.
• 1:15:29
  Another one Friday night to ACC games on Friday night here.
• 1:15:32
  Ron Syracuse goes out of conference again where they play
• 1:15:36
  Liberty Liberty in. The dome is a six-point
• 1:15:40
  favorite. So Malik, Willis and Liberty.
• 1:15:43
  Get a Are the road favorite so home.
• 1:15:49
  Team getting points. What are you?
• 1:15:52
  What am I thinking on this? Yep.
• 1:15:54
  Um, Liberty so far this year has played Campbell, Troy and ODU.
• 1:16:02
  Well, ODU is sort of in this year Campbell's, obviously FCS.
• 1:16:08
  So the only one I look at is Troy and Troy always, you hear
• 1:16:14
  about them every once in a while, they're pretty good team,
• 1:16:18
  you know. And they played a tight game
• 1:16:21
  with Troy. It was a only one by eight
• 1:16:24
  points. So when I see a home team, the
• 1:16:28
  funkiness of the Dome getting six, I don't know who wins the
• 1:16:32
  game outright, but I'm going to take a home team.
• 1:16:34
  Give me the points. I think Syracuse comes to fight.
• 1:16:39
  And again, don't know if they're going to win it, but I think
• 1:16:43
  it's a lot closer game than Vegas things. yeah, I'm with you
• 1:16:49
  some of the in the points as well and it really just boils
• 1:16:53
  down to I think with some extra tape now we've got, we got some,
• 1:17:00
  got some tape on Liberty. Do you like Troy played them
• 1:17:04
  tough? They're playing in the Carrier
• 1:17:06
  Dome which is notoriously funky. Yes, I think just those things
• 1:17:13
  alone, will keep it close and I think it's going to be too close
• 1:17:16
  for that six. All right, we're both on the
• 1:17:20
  cues train. All right.
• 1:17:21
  Brian you do this? When you love BC or hated BC so
• 1:17:24
  much last week, they pay me to do this week is is a coin flip
• 1:17:28
  game Mizzou laying one and a half.
• 1:17:32
  So whoever wins this game and whoever you take it's probably
• 1:17:37
  going to win. What do you think?
• 1:17:40
  Yeah. I really don't know what to
• 1:17:44
  think about this game because I don't think BC is quite the same
• 1:17:47
  team that they were now that jerk Kovac is is out at the same
• 1:17:54
  time, they're better than I thought they were going to be at
• 1:17:56
  least initially I'll take BC here.
• 1:18:01
  All right, Braun. They burned me last week.
• 1:18:03
  I'm not going to. I'm not going to defy them
• 1:18:05
  again. He's not Define them again.
• 1:18:09
  Brian, I would go with you if BC didn't put up. 220 yards of
• 1:18:17
  offense. Last week, they won that game
• 1:18:20
  with a quarterback throwing 34 yards.
• 1:18:24
  Yep. I I don't know how to figure how
• 1:18:27
  mizzou's, only a one and a half Point favorite at BC.
• 1:18:30
  I know BC has a solid defense, but I definitely think is Mizzou
• 1:18:34
  that defense isn't going to get anything or that.
• 1:18:39
  Offense isn't going to get anything going.
• 1:18:41
  So I'm going to take Mizzou. I'll lay the one and a half.
• 1:18:44
  I think Mizzou wins this one big guy.
• 1:18:46
  Out two touchdowns, okay, okay. All right, you tell me how this
• 1:18:52
  is the line on this game? Ha ha ha.
• 1:18:55
  Hold on. Turning the hat back which is
• 1:18:57
  this one's confusing. Florida State in Louisville
• 1:19:00
  Florida State after hanging with Notre Dame, who's Anna last
• 1:19:05
  second play to Jacksonville. And then going blown out by
• 1:19:07
  three touchdowns at Wake Forest, this is a home game for them.
• 1:19:12
  That's great, Louisville played his best game of the year
• 1:19:15
  against UCLA. GF.
• 1:19:18
  We was only a two-point favorite.
• 1:19:25
  Vegas has momentum doesn't matter.
• 1:19:29
  They're taking Talent over momentum because right now
• 1:19:32
  Louis, there's no reason like to me this is legal limit
• 1:19:35
  Louisville. I'm with you, I'm with you 100%
• 1:19:40
  legal limit Louisville because if if somehow FS you can figure
• 1:19:47
  out what they're doing which I don't know if they can
• 1:19:51
  Louisville. Kind of finally found its
• 1:19:52
  footing last week against. AI mean it's to you're
• 1:19:55
  essentially telling me just what we will have to win outright and
• 1:19:58
  I think they will. So yeah, I do too.
• 1:20:03
  Alright the next one is the stinkiest line of the week.
• 1:20:08
  Eek. Oh yeah.
• 1:20:09
  I mean Robbie, if you're listening night with, you're
• 1:20:13
  probably not. You probably just pulling home
• 1:20:15
  from the field house down at North Wilkesboro, Clemson - 10
• 1:20:20
  against NC State. I know Clemson.
• 1:20:26
  I think that delay game is getting everyone a wrong.
• 1:20:30
  Look at them, they played an elite defense in Georgia.
• 1:20:34
  They did move the ball and they weren't stalemated all night.
• 1:20:38
  No, they screwed themselves a few times, they move the ball
• 1:20:41
  against Do they screwed themselves?
• 1:20:44
  And after what we saw from the the fighting Dave Dorn, when
• 1:20:50
  they went down to Mississippi State and laid a fat old goose
• 1:20:53
  egg, even though with this game at NC State, I think this is
• 1:21:01
  gonna be one of those games. Dabo gets everybody riled up and
• 1:21:04
  I think they win by 14 to 17 points.
• 1:21:09
  I think it'll probably be an entertaining game to watch.
• 1:21:11
  I think they pull away late, but I think the 10 points is just, I
• 1:21:14
  can't, I can't fathom why it's 10 points.
• 1:21:18
  Yeah, give me. Give me Clemson here to I was
• 1:21:25
  high on NC State and that AP State game burned me and I have
• 1:21:29
  not forgiven them for that yet. I don't trust them I don't trust
• 1:21:35
  them in a matchup where they need to get a win.
• 1:21:41
  So I'm going to go Clemson here. I think they end up figuring out
• 1:21:44
  kind of how how that offense is going to look with this new
• 1:21:47
  Personnel. This is the game where we see
• 1:21:50
  that come to fruition, like you said Deb, has going to have them
• 1:21:54
  fully whipped into a lather to play.
• 1:21:57
  Grass is all for this one. So yeah, I'll take clumps of.
• 1:22:01
  All right. I don't want to.
• 1:22:07
  I don't want to. Oh yeah.
• 1:22:11
  I don't after what happened last weekend.
• 1:22:13
  Open prediction on this game. You got to man.
• 1:22:20
  Okay. Next game is Kansas and Duke &
• 1:22:26
  Duke is Lane 16 points and I sit here and the games that do gets
• 1:22:33
  a fork. Lock, this isn't be a
• 1:22:35
  snoozefest. Duke is just burn me.
• 1:22:42
  Probably different ways, the UNC Charlotte game last week.
• 1:22:47
  After, you know what, just give me Kansas, at least, Kansas is
• 1:22:53
  showing some fight under lance out there.
• 1:22:57
  You know, I think they covered the Coastal Carolina game the
• 1:22:59
  other week. I don't know if Kansas will
• 1:23:01
  outright win, but after Duke screaming last few weeks, I'm
• 1:23:04
  just going to pick against them and tell them right, Kansas So
• 1:23:10
  you went with them early, you went against them last week,
• 1:23:13
  you're going to stick against them because they bring it
• 1:23:15
  again. Eventually they're going to
• 1:23:17
  lose. You're probably you're
• 1:23:20
  definitely right. This is not a good dude,
• 1:23:22
  football team, but they are in a stretch of their schedule where
• 1:23:25
  they're playing similarly, awful overall talented teams.
• 1:23:33
  So, This one's tough as well, just because that's 16 is kind
• 1:23:38
  of right at. You know, kind of where you
• 1:23:41
  think you might be definitely don't.
• 1:23:43
  Think Kansas can win this out, right?
• 1:23:46
  I'm going to go with Duke. Holloman early 17.
• 1:23:52
  It's a 17-point win until Duke wins or until Jake loses Brown
• 1:23:58
  on the. He's just going to go against me
• 1:23:59
  every time like, yeah. I mean, it's worked in my favor
• 1:24:02
  so far. So I'll just I'll keep that
• 1:24:04
  train rolling. Exactly.
• 1:24:06
  All right. Let's ACC game we pick Brian.
• 1:24:09
  Georgia. Tech, you and see.
• 1:24:12
  Georgia Tech. Could have pulled the Shocker of
• 1:24:15
  all Shockers last week. They didn't in the crazy
• 1:24:18
  lightning field. 9, our game would felt like you would see is
• 1:24:23
  laying 12 in this game Run. And you know this game it is at
• 1:24:28
  Georgia Tech. Please think it on this one,
• 1:24:31
  man. I'll tell you what I'm thinking
• 1:24:34
  I'm thinking, Georgia Tech has about one.
• 1:24:36
  Clemson game in them every five games.
• 1:24:39
  So give me you and see, and laying the points.
• 1:24:45
  But how often have you been wrong about Georgia Tech in the
• 1:24:47
  last? You know what, we don't chew.
• 1:24:49
  Don't talk about these things. Man, we do not discuss Georgia
• 1:24:55
  Tech History, this podcast. I'm gonna go against you.
• 1:25:03
  On this. This is the first week where,
• 1:25:07
  you know however it goes someone's either making up
• 1:25:11
  significant ground or losing significant ground.
• 1:25:13
  He said UNC, right? Yeah, I'm going to UNC.
• 1:25:17
  I think you and sees just going to have a hangover.
• 1:25:20
  I don't think you score on every single position against the law
• 1:25:25
  of averages coming into play here Yuan.
• 1:25:28
  Fang wins this game comfortably like 3121, but Georgia Tech like
• 1:25:35
  Late, backdoors it so give me Georgia Tech.
• 1:25:38
  Give me the points. This is, this is like, now, the
• 1:25:42
  deal. I'll have to go against you.
• 1:25:44
  Whatever you do with the Georgia Tech man, so Duke in Georgia
• 1:25:49
  Tech or our new pivot Points, saddle of that.
• 1:25:52
  All right. All right.
• 1:25:54
  Let's go to essentially D3, biggest games of the weekend.
• 1:25:59
  I'm going to go a little out of order here, Brian.
• 1:26:01
  I got this one at the bottom, but let's look at West Virginia.
• 1:26:04
  Coming off the big win. In against us last week against
• 1:26:07
  Oklahoma in Norman. Oklahoma is a 17-point favorite
• 1:26:12
  and I'm going to say this so far this year, Oklahoma has not
• 1:26:17
  looked like Oklahoma, they have, they just haven't, you know, you
• 1:26:21
  look at their games issue. Yes, they're 3 & 0 title 2 Lane,
• 1:26:26
  we're not going to count Western Carolina.
• 1:26:28
  I don't know how that game. Got scheduled height wouldn't
• 1:26:30
  have Braska. Yeah, I think this is the week.
• 1:26:33
  They blow the doors off slow. Someone because I think West
• 1:26:36
  Virginia is going to go in there with their heads in the clouds,
• 1:26:38
  after a huge win, that probably should have been a loss.
• 1:26:43
  And I think they lose by 28 plus points.
• 1:26:47
  Give me Oklahoma and lay the 17. Yeah.
• 1:26:53
  West Virginia treated the game last week like we treated you in
• 1:26:56
  see. It was like the spectacle of the
• 1:26:59
  fucking year. So I'm right there with you.
• 1:27:01
  I feel like Oklahoma is going to finally get into their groove
• 1:27:04
  offensive ly. And they're going to I'm not
• 1:27:07
  gonna say blow the doors off, but it could be a three
• 1:27:09
  touchdown win. All right, now we'll go back to
• 1:27:14
  the normal order. Let's go back up here.
• 1:27:16
  This is a very interesting game, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame
• 1:27:21
  against Wisconsin. In Chicago at Soldier Field,
• 1:27:25
  essentially a midpoint between Madison and South Bend kind of a
• 1:27:30
  cool place to do the game. Wisconsin is a six and a half
• 1:27:34
  Point favorite Obviously, you know, we know about the Irish
• 1:27:39
  has close call Florida, State close call with Toledo and you
• 1:27:47
  know, Wisconsin, one in one out, the gate Notre Dame off a solid
• 1:27:54
  win against Purdue Purdue. Looks like a better team this
• 1:27:58
  year with Brom And Wisconsin, you know, they played Eastern
• 1:28:03
  Michigan and they play Penn State.
• 1:28:08
  What are you thinking on this one Brian?
• 1:28:09
  Because this is one with six and a half, they're saying the
• 1:28:13
  Wisconsin that we saw that against Penn State is eventually
• 1:28:17
  going to punch it in but they don't score 34 against Eastern
• 1:28:20
  Michigan. Yeah, it's is a weird one
• 1:28:25
  because I feel like you know the loss to Penn State looks
• 1:28:29
  probably a little bit better now than it did at the gate that
• 1:28:33
  said you kind of late a little bit of an egg overall against
• 1:28:37
  Eastern Michigan. Even though you came away with
• 1:28:38
  the wind Irish, Look like they were sleepwalking through two
• 1:28:43
  games, feel like they put a little bit together.
• 1:28:47
  Last week still not playing quite to the level that you
• 1:28:52
  think they should. Yeah I'm going to take Irish and
• 1:29:01
  the points. I feel like it's going to be a
• 1:29:05
  tight. One down the stretch.
• 1:29:07
  It's gonna look a lot look really similar to Kind of how
• 1:29:13
  the Wisconsin Penn State game went.
• 1:29:16
  Yeah, I'm with you. I'm going to definitely take
• 1:29:18
  hours in the points up because I think I think Notre Dame is
• 1:29:20
  going to win the game outright. I think a neutral field is going
• 1:29:25
  to be the biggest difference there with the split housework.
• 1:29:29
  This was in Madison at six and a half.
• 1:29:31
  I think I'd be taking Wisconsin here, but also one of those two,
• 1:29:36
  I don't want Notre Dame to lose until October 9th.
• 1:29:41
  So yeah, you begin with we got a little comment here.
• 1:29:44
  Early thoughts on how we match up against Notre Dame.
• 1:29:49
  Well, if it's the Notre Dame has been sleepwalking.
• 1:29:51
  The first three weeks I like our chances.
• 1:29:55
  But they've got two games back to back for us to sort of wake
• 1:29:58
  up. I mean, they've got obviously
• 1:30:00
  Wisconsin this week and then, you know, next week, I think
• 1:30:05
  it's the USC game that in Cincinnati.
• 1:30:08
  So they're playing two very good opponents.
• 1:30:10
  Leading into Virginia Tech to wear even if they lose one of
• 1:30:15
  these two games, they're probably going to get this
• 1:30:18
  probably going to be enough good film out there where they're
• 1:30:20
  going to start to make some adjuster Yeah, the only thing
• 1:30:25
  I'm saying is that, you know, we get Fuente with the by good
• 1:30:29
  work, he's looked good off buys and he's looked awful off by.
• 1:30:33
  So I really don't know what that bodes for us.
• 1:30:38
  That being said, if, if they still are struggling with past
• 1:30:45
  Pro and blocking scheme overall, by the time we get to that game,
• 1:30:50
  I think will do. Alright, on defense it It's
• 1:30:52
  going to be which somewhat whole field offense, can can get
• 1:30:58
  enough points on the board to get the win because it's going
• 1:31:02
  to be. I think a defensive struggle
• 1:31:04
  both ways so race to 20. They gave us right now.
• 1:31:09
  It's a race to 20. And the question is does Chris
• 1:31:13
  Tyree break one for them? Or does someone like tray or
• 1:31:17
  Tay? Or even hanging take like a
• 1:31:19
  screen or a quick pass to the house against them.
• 1:31:22
  Yep. And that would be a difference
• 1:31:24
  in the game. All right, one more game to
• 1:31:26
  pick. Brian Arkansas versus Texas A&M.
• 1:31:31
  Definitely probably the biggest ranked match up of the week.
• 1:31:34
  Because obviously you know, if you didn't know going next week,
• 1:31:41
  it's a really big week for Texas A&M so kind of back-to-back big.
• 1:31:47
  We could them. That all comprar.
• 1:31:49
  But am is sitting on the precipice there.
• 1:31:53
  A couple weeks away from Alabama.
• 1:31:56
  And if they get through Arkansas, since Mississippi
• 1:31:59
  State, Arkansas has kind of been the surprise darling.
• 1:32:05
  Look for this year. Arkansas is getting five and a
• 1:32:10
  half points. And am the quarterback was
• 1:32:15
  supposed to start as out. I think it's too many points to
• 1:32:18
  give with the backup quarterback.
• 1:32:20
  In, they've already proved when they went to Colorado.
• 1:32:23
  They struggled with out and they won that game by three points.
• 1:32:26
  It easily could have been a loss.
• 1:32:30
  So, give me Arkansas. I don't know who's going to win.
• 1:32:34
  I do say this, looking at the over-under in that game over.
• 1:32:38
  Unders 48, take the under. Yep, if the way pendant.
• 1:32:42
  Likes to try to slow down a game where he likes to run the ball
• 1:32:44
  think of him back at Georgia. I think the unders going to hit
• 1:32:48
  and I'll take Arkansas and points.
• 1:32:53
  I know we're agreeing a lot here down the stretch, but I agree
• 1:32:56
  with you 100%. I think it's gonna be a game
• 1:33:00
  that gets slowed down by the by the consistent running attack.
• 1:33:04
  And I think that with am having a backup quarterback, that you
• 1:33:08
  don't see the, the big plays and the consistent drives that you
• 1:33:12
  would get from a, from that quarter bag.
• 1:33:14
  It's going to be kind of a slog at times even though there is
• 1:33:17
  the potential there for some of those plays to hit.
• 1:33:21
  Someone will take Arkansas in the points as well.
• 1:33:24
  Yeah. And if you just wondering about
• 1:33:28
  Arkansas their 16th in the country and in rushing offense,
• 1:33:33
  you know, and and elms. Decent.
• 1:33:37
  Giving them about 162 yards a game.
• 1:33:39
  But again it's the am scheduled us far.
• 1:33:42
  The am schedule of Kent State Colorado and New Mexico.
• 1:33:46
  Like they have to show up at least with Arkansas.
• 1:33:49
  We can say the win over Texas, whether you like Texas or hate
• 1:33:54
  Texas, you know, there's Talent there.
• 1:33:57
  Yeah, I think that's the difference in Pig sooie.
• 1:34:01
  All right, Brian, anything broken.
• 1:34:04
  The last hour and a half, since we've been on here, nothing that
• 1:34:08
  I've seen, you know, we're going into this week, a lot of this
• 1:34:13
  week, either wraps up most of the out of conference either
• 1:34:16
  this week or next week. So we'll be starting to move on
• 1:34:20
  to full-on conference competition here soon.
• 1:34:24
  I know we still got Notre Dame on on tap there, but more or
• 1:34:27
  less. We're kind of moving into the
• 1:34:29
  meat of conference play here. Going up.
• 1:34:31
  So looking forward to more ACC talk here and seeing some how
• 1:34:37
  some of these Coastal matchup shake out as we move forward
• 1:34:40
  because we still got a shot here in the coastal.
• 1:34:42
  So got to make the most of it. Exactly.
• 1:34:47
  The one that we should talk about is here is in this is from
• 1:34:50
  earlier today, the Ross Dellinger, layoffs expansion
• 1:34:53
  model. Maybe that'll be our off week
• 1:34:56
  discussion next week we'll get on that's Wednesday.
• 1:34:59
  Talk about this model right here and then pick some games.
• 1:35:03
  So yeah, there we go. But guys, that is going to wrap
• 1:35:06
