  Speaker 1: Coming up later on the Yukon Football Coaches Show, we'll
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: hear from linebacker two if for me and Brown. He
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: had a tight a career high with twelve tackles on
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Saturday A Duke and Chase Lund. He'll make career start
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: number forty Saturday at right tackle. Coach, we haven't talked
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a lot about the running game yet, but it seems
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: to be improving. Thirty seven carries one hundred and seventy
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: nine yards. Cam Edwards goes over one hundred, scores a touchdown.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: We talked about Nick Evers as well. But how do
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you feel the offensive line is coming together here now
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: after three weeks?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I think they're coming together. I mean, our pass
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: protection has been solid. We've been able to run the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: ball consistently, certainly not perfect, still a lot of work
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to do, but you know, our tight ends do a
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: really nice job in our run game and our protection game.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Our backs, you know, we use some two back stuff.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: They do a nice job in the run game and
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the protection game. We didn't have Victor the other night.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: You know, they've been nice to have another guy in
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: there to carry the load. Take a little bit off
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a Cam, but you know, I thought that mel and
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Durell did well, and you know, same kind of the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: same thing with the wide receivers is you'd like to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: be able to spread the ball around a little bit more.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: But if a guy gets hot carrying the football, you
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: want to feed him, you know. And Cam's a tough dude, man,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and I don't think people really like to tackle him,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you know. And he runs hard, and he's physical and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: very dependable and he's worked himself into being a pretty
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: darn good football player.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The other thing about him too, and you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: reminiscent of watching Sakon Barkley last night with the Eagles
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: catching the ball out in the flat and the open. Boy,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: those guys are dangerous. Cam had a catch.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: And turn to that third and fourth at the end
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of the game, right.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, as a Giant fan, I remember a few
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of those kind of things going wrong. But anyway, not
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that I'm rooting against the Eagles, but I am, you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Cam honest, I'm on once in a while, I'm honest,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: all right, Cam Edwards though, when he caught that, he
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: made one, catched it into some big yardage guy like
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that man twenty six yards on that play. If I'm
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: defending this week. If I'm Florid Atlantic, I got to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: be thinking about him as a pass receiver too.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and go back to the Merrimac game. You know
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that fifty yarder was at little throat of the flat
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: that he turned up stadium bound. Skyler got the blocks
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: down the field, he cut it back and made big plays.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: And he's much more than just a guy that you
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: hand it to. You know, I've already mentioned him. He's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: really good in pass protection, but he's darn good as
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a receiver as well, you know, very dependable and needs
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to keep doing that and keep working on that because
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: it gives us. It gives us another dimension that we
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: can utilize in our offense.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: We haven't talked about penalties much because we haven't had
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: too many. I want to make a point though, I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: thought that Duke's secondary was laying their hands on Yukon
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: receivers way too much. There were a couple of times
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I felt like flags could have come out, and I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: think late in the game on want of the drives,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you kind of had a great opportunity. They still had
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the ball going down five points where I felt like
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the defensive backs were in early and got a face
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in the hand in the face mask of one of
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the Yukon receivers. Sometimes the flags just don't drop your way.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I think that's what happened.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Well, the one that you know that sticks out to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: me is the one on Brett Buckman down towards the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: one yard line. Yes, the guy had him wrapped up
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: pretty good. I would have liked to see a flag
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: thrown there. I know what they'll say though, they'll say
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: they were just hand fighting. Those are hard calls to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: make in the in the moment, you know, for those
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: those officials, But that would have been one that I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: would have agreed with had they had they thrown the flag.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: You know, they let a lot go in college football,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and as long as they're consistent, which I believe they
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: have been, then you learn how to play. It's when
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you have an inconsistency in officiating that it becomes really
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: hard for the players to know how to play and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the coaches to know how to coach it. We've been
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: fortunate the first three weeks have ACC officials, and we'll
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: have ACC officials this week, and I think they do
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a great job. Do I agree with every call? Heck no,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Like I agree with you. I would have liked to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: see the flag thrown on a couple. But I will
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: say this, they're extremely consistent, and if they're consistent, you
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: can live with it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I remember something Bill Belichick said a long time ago
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: when I was covering the Giants in the late eighties
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and nineties. If you're physical defensively in your second ear
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and every single play, they can't drop a flag every
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: single play. So let's be physical every play. Let's hit
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: receivers after the balls there. And you know what I mean,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: sometimes you can up with physicality.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: No, I mean physicality is you know, violence and physicality.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Those are the gold standard in football. I mean, that's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: what you're after. And you're so right. I have to
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: think back to the Patriots in the Rams Super Bowl
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: when the Patriots, you know, we're playing the greatest show
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: on turf in the Rams with you know, I Colton
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: and Oza Keem and Isaac Bruce and Marshall Falk and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Kurt Warner and those guys, and you know, Willie McGinnis
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and those defensive players for the Patriots just put in
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Ty Locke corner. They just put hands on those guys
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: every single play. They were holding and grabbing and roughing
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: them up. And you're right, Mike, They're not going to
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: drop a flag on every play, and eventually it starts
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: to take its toll on the offense. And that's the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: name of the game. On defense, man is just well
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in football violent physicality, fair within the rules, but violence.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm with you.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I'm with you all right.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: About thirty seconds left before we go to Chase London
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: two weeks mea brown, just a thumbnail on what do
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you got to do to get it done here? Get
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: USU on the weekend.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: We have to take care of the football better on offense,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: we have to finish in the end zone. We have
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to eliminate penalties on special teams. We had two really
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: costly ones, which is very uncharacteristic of us against Duke.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: And defensively, we got to do our job. We got
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: to tackle and we got to get some takeaways. And
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you know what, we got to get a great crowd
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: there and our student body was tremendous that first game,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and boy, it makes a huge difference. And they're opening
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: up the parking lot to students for tailgating again this week,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: so hopefully this can become the thing to do on
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a Saturday or Saturday night is go to a Yukon
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: game for the next month and a half. And we
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: got to go out and play great football and hopefully
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: our fans come out.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a Friday night game as well, coming up
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a little later on in this Homestand so all good, coach,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: let's get to two and two. We're rooting for you.
