00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.280
Hello, everybody, Welcome to the buck Eyawic the podcast. I'm
2
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:39.719
Tony Gerdaman here as always Tom or Tom. How's it going, Tony?
3
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.320
It is a depth chart show, so it's on today's episode.
4
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:46.039
My name is tom Or, but it's O R at
5
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.240
the end instead of with two hours.
6
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.920
Like North and bold bolded or for tom Or. I
7
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.159
just me as you guys know, but we would do
8
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.640
want to discuss the depth chart. We'll talk about the
9
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:03.320
offense initially here in this show and let everybody know
10
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.079
the kind of the baseline where things stand right now
11
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.599
from what we've seen, what we've heard, and we could
12
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.200
just start at quarterbackwards. It's Julian Saying and Javian Saint Clair,
13
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.959
and I think the real battle is Luke Fahee and
14
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:15.599
Justin Martin.
15
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.599
Yeah, I think you've got a very clear number one
16
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.560
in Julian Saying, a very clear number two in Tavian
17
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.599
Saint Clair. And then I would have expected Justin Martin
18
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.239
to be ahead of Luke Fayhee coming into the fall,
19
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.000
but it feels like at times fay He maybe has
20
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.239
passed him. But you know, if if you were a
21
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.680
third quarterback battle is your big question at quarterback, that's
22
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.359
not really much of a much of an issue running back.
23
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.519
You know, you've got Isaiah West and Bo Jackson as
24
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.239
you're one in two, two and one, and right now,
25
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.560
from what we've seen, we saw Isaiah West early on.
26
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.840
We know Bo Jackson as your returning thousand yard starters,
27
00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:00.239
so obviously he's he's not going anywhere. We're How do
28
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.159
you view those guys right now? Is it one? A,
29
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.519
one B? Is it wanted to? Like? What do you
30
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:06.239
what do you see it?
31
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.879
Well, I think you've got two guys who are I
32
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.560
think Isaiah West. Whatever the gap was between Bo Jackson
33
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.840
and Isaiah West was at some point, Isaiah West has
34
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.599
more than made that up. I'm certainly expecting Isaiah West
35
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.280
to start Game one of the season at this point.
36
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.599
And you know, I think those guys are at worst
37
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.599
a Isaiah West or Bo Jackson for the first spot.
38
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:30.240
And then.
39
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.719
To me, the more interesting question is after that, is
40
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.280
it is it legend BA after that?
41
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.639
Well, and the way I've kind of gone around and
42
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.319
gotten out of this discussion is by saying Legend Bay
43
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.319
is his own thing, and so he doesn't factor in
44
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.360
like he's his first team legend and Jacoby Jackson is
45
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.240
third team running back, and I don't know how that
46
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.879
all mixes together. If I wanted time to play Legend,
47
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.439
they play Legend, and it's when they want Legend out there,
48
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.960
they'll put him out there. Whereas well, we need a
49
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.719
running back right now? Okay, well, you know as a
50
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:09.400
Boa or Isaiah's turners at Jacoby's turn I right, but
51
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.000
we saw Legend out there with the tunes. Should Azeo's back.
52
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.560
I think the potential is certainly higher with Legend. Jacoby's
53
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.199
been fine, but I think you're gonna have to find
54
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.080
You're gonna want ways to get You're gonna find ways
55
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.599
to have Legend out there. You're gonna win him out
56
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.120
there as much as you can, at least with the
57
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.039
ball in his hands. So three A, three B.
58
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.439
Yeah, it's kind of interesting because I think you're gonna
59
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.159
have situations where, if you were in a situation where
60
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.599
there's gonna be pass pro involved, you're gonna want the
61
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.439
guy who's been in college for seven years because he's
62
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:47.000
gonna have a lot more experience, and you know, he's
63
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.479
no longer eighteen years old or nineteen years old. He's
64
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.719
old enough to probably rent a car by himself. So
65
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.599
there are gonna be situations where it is definitely gonna
66
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.759
be this is a Jacoby Jackson situation, but there are
67
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.360
going to be legend based situations as well. So I
68
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.759
don't know, Maybe maybe this is a Isaiah West or
69
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.800
Bo Jackson and a Jacoby Jackson or or legend bay
70
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.400
where the top two are pretty interchangeable and the bottom
71
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:12.840
two are situational, right.
72
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.840
And I can also see where when Jacoby Jackson is
73
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.279
in the game, Bo Jackson and Isaiah West maybe getting arrest,
74
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.560
whereas legend babing in the game has nothing to do
75
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.279
with anybody else being tired. Yeah, it's it's just a
76
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:27.879
it's time for we want to do this with legend
77
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:28.680
type of thing.
78
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.040
Yeah, that's possible. And he may be a that. He
79
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.120
may be the guy who's in there in twenty one
80
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.319
personnel or twenty two person right where you've got two
81
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:37.879
backs in there and he's one of the backs but
82
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.399
full back. He's well, is he in the shot gin
83
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.399
formation or is he split out into the slought or
84
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:44.959
is he you.
85
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.399
Notions out you know when split Yeah. Yeah, although Arthur
86
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.680
Smith did say we will not be doing split backs
87
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.759
on third and long like the forty nine ers of old.
88
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.879
It's too bad they don't have a Tom Rathman on
89
00:04:58.920 --> 00:04:59.439
this roster.
90
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.240
Sadly, as I told him last years, leading will route
91
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.000
is undefeated. It is it is. Yeah, as long as
92
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.079
you block it now you're found your players under the bus.
93
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:15.000
But then to the receivers, wrote, from what we've seen,
94
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.800
it's a very clear Jeremiah Smith, Brandon Innis, Devin MQ
95
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.600
and devn Q and to Z and Brandon Innis at
96
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.839
the slots and of course Jeremiah Smith at the accident
97
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:29.319
everywhere else. We have not seen Kyle Parker. He's presumably
98
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.480
he's gonna be back or is back by this point.
99
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.160
Who can play ze or slot, can go inside, outside,
100
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.199
all that stuff, does the quick stuff. So really it's
101
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.040
a top four. I'm not sure how that's gonna work
102
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.360
out in terms of who snaps he's taking.
103
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.120
Yeah, that's that's kind of the sixty four thousand dollars
104
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.160
question right now, because we just we haven't seen it,
105
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.879
and he's someone who going, you know, coming out of
106
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.399
the spring. We thought, well, he could be in slot,
107
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.079
he could be outside, he could kind of go anywhere.
108
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.519
We'll have more clarity in the fall, and here we
109
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.920
are in the fall, and because he's been a little
110
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.800
banged up, we don't have any more clarity. So I
111
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.879
feel like I'm more confident in where Devin McEwen is
112
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.720
on the death chart than I was prior to the
113
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.600
start of Fall camp. So that means in my mind,
114
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.120
I guess it's more likely that Kyle Parker, whatever snaps
115
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.279
he takes, it's more likely that at least a decent
116
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.560
percentage in coming to slot. But I don't, you know,
117
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.920
I don't have any real basis for that other than
118
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.600
I feel like Devin McEwen has taken a substantial step
119
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:34.439
forward in my mind.
120
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.480
I also feel like there's not as much need at
121
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:43.959
Z behind Devin McEwen because you've got brockvoid, right, So
122
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:45.920
the real need is who is that going to be
123
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.000
that back up that second slot? Maybe CO slot, I guess,
124
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.839
because you've got Phillip Bell there, but and does Z Jones,
125
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.120
But really I think that's Kyle Parker and Brandon Innis
126
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:03.600
is that top two and Brock Boyd as the Devin
127
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.639
McEwen back up, Chris Henry as Jeremiah Smith's back up
128
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.399
at this point, and really none of these guys, Devin
129
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.720
McEwen and Brock Boyd could probably be on the field
130
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.680
together at the time. They're making sure that Jeremiah Smith
131
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.519
and Chris Henry Junior can be on the field together
132
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:21.160
at the same time as they move guys around.
133
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.839
Yeah, and I think that if they move it might
134
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.120
be Jeremiah Smith in the slot like that. That's something
135
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.079
that you have seen them do that at times in
136
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.079
the past, which then you know that's where you need
137
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:33.639
like the little box, like where they have the sign
138
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.079
language interpreter. You need the little box that shows the
139
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.839
opposing defensive coordinator up in the in the coachase box.
140
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.680
When they line Jeremiah Smith up on the slot where
141
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.399
it's like no, no, no, no, no, no no, that's
142
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.240
not no no no, that is not a winning matchup
143
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.360
for us, no, no, no. I think they're going to
144
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.839
be trying to find opportunities to move him around. And
145
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:51.560
they've done this with lots of guys over the years.
146
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.360
I mean, you saw actually Smith and Jagba lining up
147
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.839
all over the place. You saw you saw Garret Wilson
148
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.279
lining up all over the place, like they have done
149
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.600
this with these these really top end receivers before, and
150
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.319
I think Jeremiah Smith if certainly, if Chris Henry ends
151
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.800
up being one of the three best receivers on this
152
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.439
team and we're not you know, we're not there yet,
153
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.040
but if he ends up being one of the three
154
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.040
best receivers, that's not a problem worth Like, oh, no,
155
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:14.759
two of the best receiver, Two of the three best
156
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.480
receivers both play X is Like Nope, that that just
157
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.279
opened up lots of other possibility.
158
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.800
Was it twenty twenty when we were trying to figure
159
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.000
out or where's Garrett Wilson gonna player? Maybe twenty twenty one,
160
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.000
like how are they gonna And it's like because we're
161
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.959
talking into slaughter Z and it's like, well those are
162
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.199
already occupied and they come out in like Brian Harlan's
163
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.080
we're putting him at X. Yeah, it's like, oh, I
164
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.840
never thought about that, this six foot guy playing the
165
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:41.879
big possession X receiver type of thing. Will they go?
166
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:48.080
Do you can Philip Bell get snaps because he's solid,
167
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.960
he's crafty. We know cortess Ancton is going to play more.
168
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.159
We assume Cortus Hnkton is going to play more players
169
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.840
than Brian Hartline is their room for a seventh guy,
170
00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.919
and Frankly is their room for a sixth being like
171
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.279
rock BOYD at this point, I think he's gonna play.
172
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.399
Though, I yeah, I think I think you're gonna see
173
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:10.000
those guys play because Cortest Hancton has traditionally played more guys,
174
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:11.679
And every time we have this conversation, I feel like
175
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.799
I need to say with the caveat that we don't
176
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.639
have enough information to know yet whether Cortes Hankton has
177
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:21.720
always played more guys because he didn't have the top
178
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.480
end wide receiver talent at previous stops that he does
179
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.320
at Ohio State, or maybe his depth was better at
180
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.360
previous stops than it was at Ohio State, or maybe
181
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.679
he just prefers to play more guys. And we'll know
182
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.679
a lot more about that three weeks a month in
183
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:36.840
the season that we do right now.
184
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.519
Yeah, I mean he's had some good guys at LSU,
185
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.360
but yeah, he's like he will play more. We'll see
186
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.279
if we'll play more here tight end. I think they're very,
187
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:51.279
very deep. Mate. Roberts said the same thing. I view
188
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:56.080
this as three and a half or four co starters,
189
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.879
and if I were to put this in a depth chart,
190
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.080
like Nate robert which is probably my one, but everybody
191
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.759
else is going to play with the first team as
192
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.679
well as Nate Roberts or Mason Williams or Hunter Welsing
193
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:08.840
or Mente Christian. You're going to see all of those
194
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.919
guys out there with the ones and then oh there's
195
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.000
Brody Lenny. Max LeBlanc has had a fantastic they fall
196
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.320
camp from what I've seen, making catches and doing things,
197
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.759
so very deep group that can do a bunch of
198
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:27.039
different things. Fourteen personnel all day long. No, no, no,
199
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:29.279
I think there's a bunch of co starters here.
200
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:31.879
Yeah, this feels like one where it's sort of a
201
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.919
situational thing. Where do you want the you know, the
202
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.279
receiving tight end? Do you want the blocking tight end?
203
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.639
And obviously it can't just be well, when this guy's in,
204
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.759
it's always because he's always going to run a passing route,
205
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:44.639
it's always going to be staying in the block or whatever.
206
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.159
But you've got lots of different guys who can fill
207
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.720
lots of different roles there, and maybe one of them
208
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:51.159
is going to be the fullback kind of role like
209
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.440
you had at times last year. So I think this
210
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.440
is one where you could look at the top five
211
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.000
guys at this position, maybe six guys in this position,
212
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:04.120
and all of them could have ten percent of the
213
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.879
snaps this year and none of them have more than
214
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.120
forty percent of the snaps this year, or something like that,
215
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:12.480
where this could be as deep a tight end rotation
216
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.600
as we've seen, because there isn't the one guy, like
217
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.720
maybe Nate Roberts will turn into a Max Claire's type receiver.
218
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.600
Maybe maybe Hunter Wilson will turn into that We'll see,
219
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:29.240
maybe Mason Williams will turn into a Wilcsmeric type blopper blocker. Maybe.
220
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.279
But I think you've got a lot of guys who
221
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.799
are going to be used somewhat interchangeably, and you can
222
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.759
you could really almost just put the top five names
223
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.080
or between them and just sort of shrug and move on.
224
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.720
So let's move to the offensive line and be definitive
225
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.159
about this and not knowing who the first team is yet.
226
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:49.879
If you're going to tell you who the first team is, right,
227
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.720
you know that's yeah. Ian Warre left tackle, Luke Montgomery
228
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:58.519
I left guard, Carson Hasmen at center, Austin Ciervelde right guard,
229
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.759
Phillip Daniels right tackle. Tom Are you locked in on
230
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.240
that being the first team offensive line against ball Stadium?
231
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.240
I think so that was what we came into the
232
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.879
fall thinking, this is probably going to be it, or
233
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.200
this is the most likely of the outcomes. And I
234
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.240
haven't seen or heard anything over the course of the
235
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.360
first week of fall practice to make me move off
236
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.960
of that position where you know, yeah, we saw them
237
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.080
do a couple run a couple different lineups out there,
238
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.799
and we saw them, you know, try some different stuff.
239
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.000
But what was out there day one? What was out
240
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.159
there day three? When Arthur Smith was talking about it,
241
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.720
he was talking about and don't forget and then named
242
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.000
three guys who were not in that first group. But
243
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.879
all the indications right now to me are that's going
244
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:53.399
to be your starting offensive line.
245
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.679
And so behind them, we've seen Carter Lowe at second
246
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.759
team left tackle, Jake Cook has been a backup at
247
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:07.120
left guard. Center Josh would be your backup center. We've
248
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.480
also seen Jake Cook there. We've seen Max Riley actually
249
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.279
get some snaps there as well, and of course Mason
250
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.720
Well so they've got some options, but clearly the backup
251
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.440
is Josh Padilla's trying to think off the top of
252
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.519
my head, right guard, right tackle, see Deontay Armstrong or
253
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:27.240
right tackle some yeah, and then you know right guard
254
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:31.720
Tom second team, Yeah.
255
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.159
Probably it's probably Jake Cook at left guard, gave Ban
256
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.480
Cycle at the right guard, Josh Pittia at center, but
257
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.440
really Josh Petia might and depending on who goes out
258
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.519
in the first team you get gave Josh Piddia could
259
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:47.120
be the next guy in its center, the next guy
260
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:50.279
in a right guard, and Austin Serraville most to left tackle.
261
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.320
You've got a lot of different possibilities, but I think
262
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:55.279
that's probably your second team there.
263
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.039
Yeah, and it's just like the first team. If something
264
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.440
were to happen to Ian Moore or Philip Daniels, you're
265
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.639
your next tackle in is Austin Siraveld. Yeah, it's guys
266
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.840
can play multiple positions and Josh Pitiaz certainly want that
267
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.200
can play anywhere on the interior. Arthur Smith said of
268
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.919
Austin Siravald, he's a four. You know, he can play
269
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.519
four different positions, and you know, I'm not gonna say
270
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.879
he can't play center either, But so there there. Well,
271
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:25.240
the third teams they saw some Sam Greer freshman left tackle,
272
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:30.440
saw some later breed another freshman, Like when you get
273
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.360
to the third team on the offensive line, it's just
274
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.080
it's third and fourth team, and it's just, yeah, guys
275
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.360
really inexperienced. Finally, some guys. We did also see Vashan
276
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:44.360
Washington with the second team the transfer from Villanova Dartmouth.
277
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.000
Dartmouth the same thing as far as I'm concerned.
278
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.200
If you've been to hang over New Hampshire and suburban
279
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.600
Philadelphia know they are not very much not the same thing.
280
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:55.799
But yeah, we've seen it was shown Washington with the
281
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.360
twos as well, so I wanted to mention that. But
282
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:01.120
any anything else from this up to chart discussion do
283
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.399
you want to talk about? Let me talk about the kickers.
284
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.799
Let's throw the kickers out here, because I thought it
285
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:10.919
was interesting Tom when they had during practice when we
286
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.080
were out there Saturday and they stopped during the eleven
287
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.039
and eleven and brought the kicker out to do a
288
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.200
fifty yarder and a sixty yarder. It was not counter Hawkins.
289
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.080
It was the transfer from Notre Dame, which I don't
290
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:26.919
have my screen up right now, so it's uh, I'm
291
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.480
gonna let you fumble around for a little perhaps Marti
292
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.399
being the the last name a.
293
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.639
Marcelo Diomiede, Diamiede.
294
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:38.919
There you go, diamond.
295
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:42.320
Diade transfer from Notre Dame. Yes, the transfer from Notre Dame.
296
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:44.679
And he had a couple of kicks last year, but
297
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:46.639
he was booming them early on, and I just thought
298
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:51.480
it was interesting. Maybe it's like, well, these are hard kicks,
299
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:55.240
so let the let's see what this transfer has. And
300
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.600
he was like just wide on both of them that
301
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.000
had plenty of legs. So I thought that was interesting.
302
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:01.960
But know it's Conor Hawkins as your number one kifter.
303
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.240
Yeah, Connor Hawkins is your number one kicker, dimed. He
304
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:08.799
was a kickoff guy at times for Notre Dame last year,
305
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:13.240
and uh, you sort of started the year as a
306
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:17.200
as a as a kicker, did some you know, sort
307
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:22.600
of kicked situationally later in the year. But yeah, he's
308
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.279
he's clearly, you know, game on the line, thirty five yarder,
309
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.759
it's Connor Hawkins right now. And you know, I think
310
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:31.679
they're I think they're just trying to put guys in
311
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.639
positions right now to see, Okay, how does this guy
312
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.840
handle a fifty five yarder. If you need a fifty
313
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.279
five yarder? Who would you send out there for that?
314
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.080
Yeah? Is it Ryant Pretorius and Aaron Petrie? Uh huh
315
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.120
we got the kickoff guys. Also a year long field
316
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.120
goal specialist. So there you go. Look at the offensive
317
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.120
line depth chart I'm going to if you're watching, I
318
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.039
give us a thumbsup. That would be appreciated. Appreciated comments.

00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.280
Hello, everybody, Welcome to the buck Eyawic the podcast. I'm
2
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:39.719
Tony Gerdaman here as always Tom or Tom. How's it going, Tony?
3
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.320
It is a depth chart show, so it's on today's episode.
4
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:46.039
My name is tom Or, but it's O R at
5
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.240
the end instead of with two hours.
6
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.920
Like North and bold bolded or for tom Or. I
7
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.159
just me as you guys know, but we would do
8
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.640
want to discuss the depth chart. We'll talk about the
9
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:03.320
offense initially here in this show and let everybody know
10
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.079
the kind of the baseline where things stand right now
11
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.599
from what we've seen, what we've heard, and we could
12
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.200
just start at quarterbackwards. It's Julian Saying and Javian Saint Clair,
13
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.959
and I think the real battle is Luke Fahee and
14
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:15.599
Justin Martin.
15
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.599
Yeah, I think you've got a very clear number one
16
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.560
in Julian Saying, a very clear number two in Tavian
17
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.599
Saint Clair. And then I would have expected Justin Martin
18
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.239
to be ahead of Luke Fayhee coming into the fall,
19
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.000
but it feels like at times fay He maybe has
20
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.239
passed him. But you know, if if you were a
21
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.680
third quarterback battle is your big question at quarterback, that's
22
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.359
not really much of a much of an issue running back.
23
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.519
You know, you've got Isaiah West and Bo Jackson as
24
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.239
you're one in two, two and one, and right now,
25
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.560
from what we've seen, we saw Isaiah West early on.
26
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.840
We know Bo Jackson as your returning thousand yard starters,
27
00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:00.239
so obviously he's he's not going anywhere. We're How do
28
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.159
you view those guys right now? Is it one? A,
29
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.519
one B? Is it wanted to? Like? What do you
30
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:06.239
what do you see it?
31
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.879
Well, I think you've got two guys who are I
32
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.560
think Isaiah West. Whatever the gap was between Bo Jackson
33
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.840
and Isaiah West was at some point, Isaiah West has
34
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.599
more than made that up. I'm certainly expecting Isaiah West
35
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.280
to start Game one of the season at this point.
36
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.599
And you know, I think those guys are at worst
37
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.599
a Isaiah West or Bo Jackson for the first spot.
38
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:30.240
And then.
39
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.719
To me, the more interesting question is after that, is
40
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.280
it is it legend BA after that?
41
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.639
Well, and the way I've kind of gone around and
42
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.319
gotten out of this discussion is by saying Legend Bay
43
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.319
is his own thing, and so he doesn't factor in
44
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.360
like he's his first team legend and Jacoby Jackson is
45
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.240
third team running back, and I don't know how that
46
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.879
all mixes together. If I wanted time to play Legend,
47
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.439
they play Legend, and it's when they want Legend out there,
48
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.960
they'll put him out there. Whereas well, we need a
49
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.719
running back right now? Okay, well, you know as a
50
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:09.400
Boa or Isaiah's turners at Jacoby's turn I right, but
51
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.000
we saw Legend out there with the tunes. Should Azeo's back.
52
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.560
I think the potential is certainly higher with Legend. Jacoby's
53
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.199
been fine, but I think you're gonna have to find
54
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.080
You're gonna want ways to get You're gonna find ways
55
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.599
to have Legend out there. You're gonna win him out
56
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.120
there as much as you can, at least with the
57
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.039
ball in his hands. So three A, three B.
58
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.439
Yeah, it's kind of interesting because I think you're gonna
59
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.159
have situations where, if you were in a situation where
60
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.599
there's gonna be pass pro involved, you're gonna want the
61
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.439
guy who's been in college for seven years because he's
62
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:47.000
gonna have a lot more experience, and you know, he's
63
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.479
no longer eighteen years old or nineteen years old. He's
64
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.719
old enough to probably rent a car by himself. So
65
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.599
there are gonna be situations where it is definitely gonna
66
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.759
be this is a Jacoby Jackson situation, but there are
67
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.360
going to be legend based situations as well. So I
68
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.759
don't know, Maybe maybe this is a Isaiah West or
69
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.800
Bo Jackson and a Jacoby Jackson or or legend bay
70
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.400
where the top two are pretty interchangeable and the bottom
71
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:12.840
two are situational, right.
72
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.840
And I can also see where when Jacoby Jackson is
73
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.279
in the game, Bo Jackson and Isaiah West maybe getting arrest,
74
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.560
whereas legend babing in the game has nothing to do
75
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.279
with anybody else being tired. Yeah, it's it's just a
76
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:27.879
it's time for we want to do this with legend
77
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:28.680
type of thing.
78
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.040
Yeah, that's possible. And he may be a that. He
79
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.120
may be the guy who's in there in twenty one
80
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.319
personnel or twenty two person right where you've got two
81
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:37.879
backs in there and he's one of the backs but
82
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.399
full back. He's well, is he in the shot gin
83
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.399
formation or is he split out into the slought or
84
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:44.959
is he you.
85
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.399
Notions out you know when split Yeah. Yeah, although Arthur
86
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.680
Smith did say we will not be doing split backs
87
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.759
on third and long like the forty nine ers of old.
88
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.879
It's too bad they don't have a Tom Rathman on
89
00:04:58.920 --> 00:04:59.439
this roster.
90
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.240
Sadly, as I told him last years, leading will route
91
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.000
is undefeated. It is it is. Yeah, as long as
92
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.079
you block it now you're found your players under the bus.
93
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:15.000
But then to the receivers, wrote, from what we've seen,
94
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.800
it's a very clear Jeremiah Smith, Brandon Innis, Devin MQ
95
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.600
and devn Q and to Z and Brandon Innis at
96
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.839
the slots and of course Jeremiah Smith at the accident
97
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:29.319
everywhere else. We have not seen Kyle Parker. He's presumably
98
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.480
he's gonna be back or is back by this point.
99
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.160
Who can play ze or slot, can go inside, outside,
100
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.199
all that stuff, does the quick stuff. So really it's
101
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.040
a top four. I'm not sure how that's gonna work
102
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.360
out in terms of who snaps he's taking.
103
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.120
Yeah, that's that's kind of the sixty four thousand dollars
104
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.160
question right now, because we just we haven't seen it,
105
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.879
and he's someone who going, you know, coming out of
106
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.399
the spring. We thought, well, he could be in slot,
107
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.079
he could be outside, he could kind of go anywhere.
108
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.519
We'll have more clarity in the fall, and here we
109
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.920
are in the fall, and because he's been a little
110
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.800
banged up, we don't have any more clarity. So I
111
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.879
feel like I'm more confident in where Devin McEwen is
112
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.720
on the death chart than I was prior to the
113
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.600
start of Fall camp. So that means in my mind,
114
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.120
I guess it's more likely that Kyle Parker, whatever snaps
115
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.279
he takes, it's more likely that at least a decent
116
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.560
percentage in coming to slot. But I don't, you know,
117
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.920
I don't have any real basis for that other than
118
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.600
I feel like Devin McEwen has taken a substantial step
119
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:34.439
forward in my mind.
120
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.480
I also feel like there's not as much need at
121
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:43.959
Z behind Devin McEwen because you've got brockvoid, right, So
122
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:45.920
the real need is who is that going to be
123
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.000
that back up that second slot? Maybe CO slot, I guess,
124
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.839
because you've got Phillip Bell there, but and does Z Jones,
125
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.120
But really I think that's Kyle Parker and Brandon Innis
126
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:03.600
is that top two and Brock Boyd as the Devin
127
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.639
McEwen back up, Chris Henry as Jeremiah Smith's back up
128
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.399
at this point, and really none of these guys, Devin
129
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.720
McEwen and Brock Boyd could probably be on the field
130
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.680
together at the time. They're making sure that Jeremiah Smith
131
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.519
and Chris Henry Junior can be on the field together
132
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:21.160
at the same time as they move guys around.
133
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.839
Yeah, and I think that if they move it might
134
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.120
be Jeremiah Smith in the slot like that. That's something
135
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.079
that you have seen them do that at times in
136
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.079
the past, which then you know that's where you need
137
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:33.639
like the little box, like where they have the sign
138
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.079
language interpreter. You need the little box that shows the
139
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.839
opposing defensive coordinator up in the in the coachase box.
140
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.680
When they line Jeremiah Smith up on the slot where
141
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.399
it's like no, no, no, no, no, no no, that's
142
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.240
not no no no, that is not a winning matchup
143
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.360
for us, no, no, no. I think they're going to
144
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.839
be trying to find opportunities to move him around. And
145
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:51.560
they've done this with lots of guys over the years.
146
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.360
I mean, you saw actually Smith and Jagba lining up
147
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.839
all over the place. You saw you saw Garret Wilson
148
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.279
lining up all over the place, like they have done
149
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.600
this with these these really top end receivers before, and
150
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.319
I think Jeremiah Smith if certainly, if Chris Henry ends
151
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.800
up being one of the three best receivers on this
152
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.439
team and we're not you know, we're not there yet,
153
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.040
but if he ends up being one of the three
154
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.040
best receivers, that's not a problem worth Like, oh, no,
155
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:14.759
two of the best receiver, Two of the three best
156
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.480
receivers both play X is Like Nope, that that just
157
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.279
opened up lots of other possibility.
158
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.800
Was it twenty twenty when we were trying to figure
159
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.000
out or where's Garrett Wilson gonna player? Maybe twenty twenty one,
160
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.000
like how are they gonna And it's like because we're
161
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.959
talking into slaughter Z and it's like, well those are
162
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.199
already occupied and they come out in like Brian Harlan's
163
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.080
we're putting him at X. Yeah, it's like, oh, I
164
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.840
never thought about that, this six foot guy playing the
165
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:41.879
big possession X receiver type of thing. Will they go?
166
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:48.080
Do you can Philip Bell get snaps because he's solid,
167
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.960
he's crafty. We know cortess Ancton is going to play more.
168
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.159
We assume Cortus Hnkton is going to play more players
169
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.840
than Brian Hartline is their room for a seventh guy,
170
00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.919
and Frankly is their room for a sixth being like
171
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.279
rock BOYD at this point, I think he's gonna play.
172
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.399
Though, I yeah, I think I think you're gonna see
173
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:10.000
those guys play because Cortest Hancton has traditionally played more guys,
174
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:11.679
And every time we have this conversation, I feel like
175
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.799
I need to say with the caveat that we don't
176
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.639
have enough information to know yet whether Cortes Hankton has
177
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:21.720
always played more guys because he didn't have the top
178
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.480
end wide receiver talent at previous stops that he does
179
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.320
at Ohio State, or maybe his depth was better at
180
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.360
previous stops than it was at Ohio State, or maybe
181
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.679
he just prefers to play more guys. And we'll know
182
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.679
a lot more about that three weeks a month in
183
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:36.840
the season that we do right now.
184
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.519
Yeah, I mean he's had some good guys at LSU,
185
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.360
but yeah, he's like he will play more. We'll see
186
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.279
if we'll play more here tight end. I think they're very,
187
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:51.279
very deep. Mate. Roberts said the same thing. I view
188
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:56.080
this as three and a half or four co starters,
189
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.879
and if I were to put this in a depth chart,
190
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.080
like Nate robert which is probably my one, but everybody
191
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.759
else is going to play with the first team as
192
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.679
well as Nate Roberts or Mason Williams or Hunter Welsing
193
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:08.840
or Mente Christian. You're going to see all of those
194
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.919
guys out there with the ones and then oh there's
195
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.000
Brody Lenny. Max LeBlanc has had a fantastic they fall
196
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.320
camp from what I've seen, making catches and doing things,
197
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.759
so very deep group that can do a bunch of
198
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:27.039
different things. Fourteen personnel all day long. No, no, no,
199
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:29.279
I think there's a bunch of co starters here.
200
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:31.879
Yeah, this feels like one where it's sort of a
201
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.919
situational thing. Where do you want the you know, the
202
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.279
receiving tight end? Do you want the blocking tight end?
203
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.639
And obviously it can't just be well, when this guy's in,
204
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.759
it's always because he's always going to run a passing route,
205
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:44.639
it's always going to be staying in the block or whatever.
206
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.159
But you've got lots of different guys who can fill
207
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.720
lots of different roles there, and maybe one of them
208
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:51.159
is going to be the fullback kind of role like
209
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.440
you had at times last year. So I think this
210
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.440
is one where you could look at the top five
211
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.000
guys at this position, maybe six guys in this position,
212
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:04.120
and all of them could have ten percent of the
213
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.879
snaps this year and none of them have more than
214
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.120
forty percent of the snaps this year, or something like that,
215
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:12.480
where this could be as deep a tight end rotation
216
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.600
as we've seen, because there isn't the one guy, like
217
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.720
maybe Nate Roberts will turn into a Max Claire's type receiver.
218
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.600
Maybe maybe Hunter Wilson will turn into that We'll see,
219
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:29.240
maybe Mason Williams will turn into a Wilcsmeric type blopper blocker. Maybe.
220
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.279
But I think you've got a lot of guys who
221
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.799
are going to be used somewhat interchangeably, and you can
222
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.759
you could really almost just put the top five names
223
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.080
or between them and just sort of shrug and move on.
224
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.720
So let's move to the offensive line and be definitive
225
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.159
about this and not knowing who the first team is yet.
226
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:49.879
If you're going to tell you who the first team is, right,
227
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.720
you know that's yeah. Ian Warre left tackle, Luke Montgomery
228
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:58.519
I left guard, Carson Hasmen at center, Austin Ciervelde right guard,
229
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.759
Phillip Daniels right tackle. Tom Are you locked in on
230
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.240
that being the first team offensive line against ball Stadium?
231
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.240
I think so that was what we came into the
232
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.879
fall thinking, this is probably going to be it, or
233
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.200
this is the most likely of the outcomes. And I
234
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.240
haven't seen or heard anything over the course of the
235
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.360
first week of fall practice to make me move off
236
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.960
of that position where you know, yeah, we saw them
237
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.080
do a couple run a couple different lineups out there,
238
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.799
and we saw them, you know, try some different stuff.
239
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.000
But what was out there day one? What was out
240
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.159
there day three? When Arthur Smith was talking about it,
241
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.720
he was talking about and don't forget and then named
242
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.000
three guys who were not in that first group. But
243
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.879
all the indications right now to me are that's going
244
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:53.399
to be your starting offensive line.
245
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.679
And so behind them, we've seen Carter Lowe at second
246
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.759
team left tackle, Jake Cook has been a backup at
247
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:07.120
left guard. Center Josh would be your backup center. We've
248
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.480
also seen Jake Cook there. We've seen Max Riley actually
249
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.279
get some snaps there as well, and of course Mason
250
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.720
Well so they've got some options, but clearly the backup
251
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.440
is Josh Padilla's trying to think off the top of
252
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.519
my head, right guard, right tackle, see Deontay Armstrong or
253
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:27.240
right tackle some yeah, and then you know right guard
254
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:31.720
Tom second team, Yeah.
255
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.159
Probably it's probably Jake Cook at left guard, gave Ban
256
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.480
Cycle at the right guard, Josh Pittia at center, but
257
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.440
really Josh Petia might and depending on who goes out
258
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.519
in the first team you get gave Josh Piddia could
259
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:47.120
be the next guy in its center, the next guy
260
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:50.279
in a right guard, and Austin Serraville most to left tackle.
261
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.320
You've got a lot of different possibilities, but I think
262
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:55.279
that's probably your second team there.
263
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.039
Yeah, and it's just like the first team. If something
264
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.440
were to happen to Ian Moore or Philip Daniels, you're
265
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.639
your next tackle in is Austin Siraveld. Yeah, it's guys
266
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.840
can play multiple positions and Josh Pitiaz certainly want that
267
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.200
can play anywhere on the interior. Arthur Smith said of
268
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.919
Austin Siravald, he's a four. You know, he can play
269
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.519
four different positions, and you know, I'm not gonna say
270
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.879
he can't play center either, But so there there. Well,
271
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:25.240
the third teams they saw some Sam Greer freshman left tackle,
272
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:30.440
saw some later breed another freshman, Like when you get
273
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.360
to the third team on the offensive line, it's just
274
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.080
it's third and fourth team, and it's just, yeah, guys
275
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.360
really inexperienced. Finally, some guys. We did also see Vashan
276
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:44.360
Washington with the second team the transfer from Villanova Dartmouth.
277
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.000
Dartmouth the same thing as far as I'm concerned.
278
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.200
If you've been to hang over New Hampshire and suburban
279
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.600
Philadelphia know they are not very much not the same thing.
280
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:55.799
But yeah, we've seen it was shown Washington with the
281
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.360
twos as well, so I wanted to mention that. But
282
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:01.120
any anything else from this up to chart discussion do
283
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.399
you want to talk about? Let me talk about the kickers.
284
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.799
Let's throw the kickers out here, because I thought it
285
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:10.919
was interesting Tom when they had during practice when we
286
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.080
were out there Saturday and they stopped during the eleven
287
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.039
and eleven and brought the kicker out to do a
288
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.200
fifty yarder and a sixty yarder. It was not counter Hawkins.
289
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.080
It was the transfer from Notre Dame, which I don't
290
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:26.919
have my screen up right now, so it's uh, I'm
291
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.480
gonna let you fumble around for a little perhaps Marti
292
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.399
being the the last name a.
293
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.639
Marcelo Diomiede, Diamiede.
294
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:38.919
There you go, diamond.
295
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:42.320
Diade transfer from Notre Dame. Yes, the transfer from Notre Dame.
296
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:44.679
And he had a couple of kicks last year, but
297
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:46.639
he was booming them early on, and I just thought
298
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:51.480
it was interesting. Maybe it's like, well, these are hard kicks,
299
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:55.240
so let the let's see what this transfer has. And
300
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.600
he was like just wide on both of them that
301
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.000
had plenty of legs. So I thought that was interesting.
302
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:01.960
But know it's Conor Hawkins as your number one kifter.
303
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.240
Yeah, Connor Hawkins is your number one kicker, dimed. He
304
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:08.799
was a kickoff guy at times for Notre Dame last year,
305
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:13.240
and uh, you sort of started the year as a
306
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:17.200
as a as a kicker, did some you know, sort
307
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:22.600
of kicked situationally later in the year. But yeah, he's
308
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.279
he's clearly, you know, game on the line, thirty five yarder,
309
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.759
it's Connor Hawkins right now. And you know, I think
310
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:31.679
they're I think they're just trying to put guys in
311
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.639
positions right now to see, Okay, how does this guy
312
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.840
handle a fifty five yarder. If you need a fifty
313
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.279
five yarder? Who would you send out there for that?
314
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.080
Yeah? Is it Ryant Pretorius and Aaron Petrie? Uh huh
315
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.120
we got the kickoff guys. Also a year long field
316
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.120
goal specialist. So there you go. Look at the offensive
317
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.120
line depth chart I'm going to if you're watching, I
318
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.039
give us a thumbsup. That would be appreciated. Appreciated comments.
