WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.600
Will what's going on my friend another
much. I want to answer that first

2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:06.919
question. So if my Steelers in
the Super Bowl, who one guy will

3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.359
bring back? No doubt, I'm
I call him Ben Roethlisberger. Well that's

4
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.000
what Tray said to Actually, yeah, I was. I was tangling between

5
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:20.719
Cordell Stewart and Terry Bradshaws. Well
yeah, yeah. First of all,

6
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.640
those guys are too old because you
brought him off the couch. That's the

7
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.160
point. But Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger,
though, Man, he was just so

8
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.239
good at winning that one game for
you. Yeah. I mean he's one

9
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.399
of the best in the history of
the game. And people don't believe me.

10
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.759
Go go look at his numbers.
Go look at where he ranks all

11
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:42.719
times comeback wins and those kind of
things. In fourth quarter wins. He's

12
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.119
second and third all time in the
history of the game. So yeah,

13
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.679
no doubt, man, no brainer, Ben Roethlisberger. And he's, like

14
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.119
I said, he's one of the
most underrated quarterbacks in the history of the

15
00:00:55.159 --> 00:01:00.119
game. The media has so underappreciated
how good he was with Pittsburgh. I

16
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.280
mean just totally underappreciated them. And
when I said the media I mean the

17
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:07.719
national media obviously the media of Pittsburg. Oh yeah, well you get your

18
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.719
best coverage local, you know that. And of course Vanderboard does a great

19
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.000
job covering the Clemson Tigers. And
I'm gonna tell you some The one thing

20
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.879
I want to say, the new
Tiger Walk. If you had a chance

21
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.760
to strut down the whole walkway there, it's impressive, my friend, with

22
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.200
some of the plaques of the old
captains. Looks good out there. Yeah,

23
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.359
I've seen it. They've had it
when we've gone. They've had it

24
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.359
like kind of roped off still as
we've gone over there. But I think

25
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.799
it'll be open this weekend, so
I'll go. I'll go give it a

26
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.840
shot, maybe after the scrimmage tomorrow, Yeah, and see what it looks

27
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.560
like. The cool thing is gonna
be is just you know, seeing all

28
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.719
the former players names there and a
lot of them are covered, and so

29
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.640
that'd be cool to see. And
because it's good to see those guys get

30
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.200
honored. And that was smarter to
Abo to do it. And I thought

31
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.439
it's another recruiting tool that he uses, says, hey, look this could

32
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.640
be you one day. You know, That's what that But he's good at

33
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.680
it. Those little things do matter. People think, oh, what,

34
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.200
that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
at the time that young man goes to

35
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.759
the school. But when he starts
thinking about what his legacy is, that

36
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.400
matters. That starts to matter a
little bit. As they get older,

37
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.319
as you guys know and I know
you think about that even more. And

38
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.039
so if you've played your kind of
that kind of legacy at a university,

39
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.840
no matter if it's on the academic
side or the athletics side, that's pretty

40
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.000
cool and something to be proud of. If there are certain programs across the

41
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.439
country that might bring the nil component
and make you buy one of those plaques

42
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:38.360
if you're a player the way things
are now sponsored by any hope working him.

43
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.280
Thank you. I didn't want to
be the one to said. Did

44
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.240
you hear Fisher's comments Jimbo the other
day talk about it's a damn shame what

45
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.159
we've gotten to these days. The
almighty dollars. I'm thinking of myself,

46
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.520
Damn Jimbo, you might want to
sit this one out, Tracy Man.

47
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.400
Yeah, Wilford is our guest here
from the Clemson Insider. Look, the

48
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.240
offense is going to get a lot
of attention. Let's let's go into each

49
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.479
position group as much as we can
and start with the quarterback. What's the

50
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.599
outlook on Kake Clubnic? So far, I'm hearing pretty decent things out of

51
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.280
the reporting done there. Yeah,
man, I tell you, it seems

52
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.840
like every defensive player that we've spoken
to has said something about Kake Clubnick.

53
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.960
And it's not like we're not pressing
it either. So it's not like to

54
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.960
beat to saying what do you think
of Kake Club Nick? We're not doing

55
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.039
that. We're just asking questions and
he comes up yeah, you know,

56
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.719
you know, it just comes out
of Barrett Carter the other day, just

57
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.280
did it, you know, when
he's talking about we were just asking in

58
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:38.639
general, you know, his thoughts
on the offense, what he's seen,

59
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.439
and he gets a little bit and
then he just thoughts by my Kake clubming

60
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.879
yeah, and you know, same
way with a couple other guys, and

61
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.719
so it's, uh, it's very
you know interesting that it tells me that

62
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:57.080
he's definitely the leader of that football
team and he's got the respect of both

63
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.400
units. And for I to have
the respect of both units as a reason

64
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.639
behind that, you know, Trevor
Lawrence wasn't a leader because he could,

65
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.439
you know, because he could do
this or that or this thing. It's

66
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.000
how he led the team and it's
how he played on the field, and

67
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:19.040
those things matter, and and players
know players as the saying goes, and

68
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.959
when they know, Okay, this
guy's got my back, that's a big

69
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:30.360
deal. And so Clubmic's obviously shown
that in workouts and in practices and things

70
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.639
of that nature, where it seems
like this is definitely his team and they're

71
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.079
behind him one hundred percent. And
so you know, if you're asking me,

72
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.879
you know, what have I seen
when I've watched practice, He's looked

73
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.160
pretty good, you know, you
know, he looks the part and doing

74
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.560
the things you post. Do it
again where we're just watching practice and he

75
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.319
can't be tackled. So it's kind
of hard to kind of get a total

76
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:54.000
idea of it. But you know, when you hear the players talk about

77
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.839
it, that's another different thing.
It's another beast altogether. Right now.

78
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.920
They're really high on him. Well, Deuce Staley said at Panther's camp,

79
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.319
overheard him when they went from practicing
in shells to practicing full pads. He

80
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:11.399
told us guys, we're taking off
the pajamas. It's a whole different world,

81
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.600
as you know with any KAIFU camp
where you go to full pads.

82
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.000
Will Vanderford is our guest here on
the Ingles hot Line Wide Receiver Room.

83
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.560
It's a fascinating study. This year, you get Antonio Williams coming back into

84
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.399
the fold. I know he's talked
about a little bit through a couple of

85
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.519
articles I've read here about wanting to
atone for some things from last season.

86
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.839
And of course you've got an interesting
mix of past catchers in that room,

87
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:36.000
including the tight end room. Your
early assessment on that group so far during

88
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.519
fall camp, well, it sounds
like guys like Noble Johnson and Tyler Brown

89
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.399
are really gonna probably come in and
play. They were hoping those two guys

90
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.480
would maybe be available. Tyler Brown, he's a guy that is you know,

91
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.879
he doesn't his body typees five to
eleven one seventy. It would be

92
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:59.199
great if you could add an extra
fifteen pounds tank Dell size right there,

93
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.199
right. But he's fast as lightning. I mean, he's super fast,

94
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.839
and he's more physical than you think
a guy who's five eleven one seven.

95
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:12.360
He would be and so that's a
good sign where he's not afraid to get

96
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.639
in the mix. He's not afraid
to get so just because you're won seven,

97
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.560
he doesn't mean you're not strong,
right, And so he showed some

98
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.480
good things. I've been impressed with
him, and the coaches obviously have been.

99
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.319
And then Noble Johnathan he's out there
also. He's a big guy,

100
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.199
six three, two hundred pounds.
Coaches love him. He both those guys

101
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.480
who are working with second team yesterday, which which is good, they're getting

102
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.519
with with Specter and Choice still Lotto
out. Those guys are getting some extra

103
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.160
reps that they probably wouldn't have gotten. And I think it's benefiting those two

104
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.240
guys. So you're seeing them.
And also you know Tick Kelly from Daniel

105
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.800
High School. Coaches have loved him
too, and and what he's been able

106
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:57.000
to do so the receivers, those
guys have kind of shown a little bit

107
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.399
more than maybe even what the coaches
were hoping for. But then when you

108
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.639
you know, go back to the
guys, I think the big one is

109
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:08.160
Adam Randall Man. Everybody's talking about
him. Everybody talk about how he's the

110
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.519
alpha dog. He's the guy in
there, and I know it's Bo Collins

111
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.319
room. Bo Collins a senior leader. He's your guy, he's your leader

112
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.480
of that room. But Adam Randall, man, he's out there, dude,

113
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.199
I'm telling you, he looks like
Mike Williams. Now from a physical

114
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:25.720
standpoint, I mean he is.
He's got that, He's got that in

115
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.360
him, and like he can.
And he's fast too, that's the thing.

116
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.480
He's faster than what Adam Randall,
I mean, excuse me, then,

117
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.800
what Mike Williams was. And but
I think from a physical standpoint,

118
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:40.759
he's where Mike Williams was as a
senior and he's only a sophomore. And

119
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.120
this this kid looks really good.
He looks apart and from what I've seen

120
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.040
in practice, he is the part. And if he if he stays healthy,

121
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.680
there's no doubt my mind. Clemson
has got that that alpha dog at

122
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.560
wide receiver that they've been desperately needing. And they got a quarterback he's not

123
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.800
afraid to throw it to him too, and that's always good. And then

124
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.519
and then I think, you know
the way they're using Jake Brenning stool uh

125
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.160
they you know, they're not using
them in a traditional tighty inset. I

126
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.480
can tell you guys that, yeah, he is not He's not blocking anybody.

127
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.120
And what we've seen, I ain't
seen him blocking anybody. So I've

128
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.600
seen him out wide, out in
the slot, you know, doing different

129
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.000
things, and they're trying to They're
going to use him in a lot of

130
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.879
different ways. And you know,
this is this is not what you've seen.

131
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.920
This is not a Clempson offense that
you've seen the last few years.

132
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.560
It's a totally different Clempson offense.
And that's what they keep talking about.

133
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.360
The defense play guys keep talking about
it when they come and talk to us

134
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.080
about how good this offense is and
how they got them on their toes and

135
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.840
yeah, they're making those splash plays
and things of that nature. Well,

136
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.919
and it gets back to what we're
hearing from some of the players, including

137
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.039
Walker Parks, regarding some of the
pulling schemes now and the offensive line.

138
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.879
You know, you've got this kind
of smash mouth air raid concept and and

139
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.759
I'm hearing Walker talk about, you
know, getting in the pulling game once

140
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.519
again and getting some movement going uh
at that offensive line. That's a big

141
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.679
component now to what they're going to
try to do here. Talk about Garrett

142
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:07.600
Riley's scheme and the marriage of that
with this offensive line that you're look,

143
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.960
you're replacing your left tackle now,
but you've got some parts coming back now

144
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.320
that that can make this thing go. They got four starters coming back in

145
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.480
the offensive line. It's amazing how
people forget about that. This time last

146
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.399
year. They were a very young
offensive line. Everybody's like understandably, so

147
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.519
you were wondering how they were going
to be well. I thought, for

148
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.960
the most part, they weren't great
last year by no stretch, but they

149
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.000
were good. They were They were
middle of the pack in the acc and

150
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.039
running the ball. They were middle
in the packing yards per carry, they

151
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.919
were middle of the packing sacks allowed. So it wasn't like they were bad

152
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.879
like some people think, like,
oh my gosh, clumps and offensive line

153
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.720
was horrible. They weren't. They
actually were not bad. They were pretty

154
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.519
good, and they were right where
you needed a young offensive line to be,

155
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.279
I thought. And then the fact
that they got better as the season

156
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.200
went along, and now you're bringing
back the core about offensive line back,

157
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.000
more experienced, they're gonna be in
better shape because of the style of what

158
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.679
this offense is, and these guys, the Clemson offensive line is way more

159
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:09.559
built for this style of offense,
yeah, than than what Garrett Riley had

160
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.080
at TCU. Yeah. And so
you're that's gonna benefit this offense because of

161
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.399
how athletic this offensive line is,
as you just mentioned, with their ability

162
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.399
to pull and stuff like that.
Listen, get the guy who started at

163
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.639
left tackle for TCU last year was
one of the biggest guys in college football.

164
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.120
He was like four hundred pounds.
Okay, that's and he didn't great,

165
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.720
Don't get me wrong. He did
the best he could hard. I

166
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.799
can tell you Garrett Riley wish he
had a smaller and more athletic left tackle

167
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.919
over there at times, I'm sure
of it. So I think that's gonna

168
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.360
benefit Clemson, that that they're not
you know, that they are more athletic,

169
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.399
and it's gonna benefit this offense going
toward. I think, and I

170
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.919
think people are gonna be surprised by
this offensive line. I really do.

171
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.120
Yeah. I heard Dabbo last week
compare the and it might have been this

172
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.759
week. Earlier in the week here, Will Vanderbordos our guests from the Clemson

173
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:03.320
Insider compare Will Shipley and the entire
backfield stable they have right now with some

174
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.480
what Spiller had before with his running
mates, and just talk about some of

175
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.840
the running by committee that might happen. But also with that said, the

176
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.320
fact that Shipley can be a bell
cow, and he can he can certainly

177
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.720
tote the mail listen, Shipley is
gonna be the bell cow. The question

178
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.399
I have, and I think it's
the one. Everybody wants to know.

179
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:28.240
How many carries is MafA gonna get? So how many carries are Shipley and

180
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.679
mafare gonna split? And I think
with the way this offense says they want

181
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.440
to run the ball, believe it
or not, Riley random they were pretty

182
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.639
much fifty fifty last year. They
ran the ball about forty times a game.

183
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:45.519
So I think what you're gonna get
is you're gonna get probably somewhere from

184
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:50.240
fifteen to twenty for Shipley and somewhere
from twelve to seventeen from MafA is what

185
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.159
I think you're gonna get. And
then you know they'll sprinkle in some carries

186
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.559
here. Obviously Club Nick is gonna
get six or seven or maybe eight carries

187
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.279
a game as well, so they'll
be all kind of mixed in, but

188
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.080
I think that's kind of where these
numbers are gonna be. This is gonna

189
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.039
be a two headed horse. If
these two guys stay healthy, they're gonna

190
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.200
lean on those two guys in that
offensive line a lot. And then the

191
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.080
way Clubmant can run and the way
he kind of fits the style of this

192
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.559
offense, it's going to benefit the
running game as well. It's not going

193
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.759
to be a smash mouth, you
know, three yards in a cloud of

194
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.559
desk kind offense, because they spread
you out that's what they want to do.

195
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.360
But they'll because they do have two
physical running backs, they'll be able

196
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.919
to do those short yardst things when
they need to. Give me a few

197
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.039
players from the defense to keep an
eye on. Obviously, Xavier Thomas his

198
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.320
weight is down and I haven't had
a chance to look at him first hand

199
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.639
here, but you heard a lot
of good reviews there, a guy who

200
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.919
didn't get a lot of snaps last
year due to injury. And then of

201
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.440
course, you know the linebacking corps. They've got some horses there. And

202
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.519
in the safety room it feels like
into the corners, no knock on them,

203
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.159
but the safeties feel like the strength
of that second there if you could

204
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.279
just kind of take us through all
three levels of the defense. Yeah,

205
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.480
we'll start with those safeties because Andrew
mccuba is because of what happened at linebacker

206
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.879
before practice started, a T.
J. Dudley being dismissed from the team

207
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.039
that really hurt Clemson and where they
only have six scholarship linebackers, so they're

208
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.720
gonna play a lot of and of
course they probably wouldn't have anyway because of

209
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.960
the way offensive schemes are today,
but you canna see a lot of four

210
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.799
two five as Clemson's main scheme.
And with that, we saw in the

211
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.759
practices we've excuse me, the practices
we've gotten to watch. We've seen Andrew

212
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:31.759
mccouba playing that Nickels Sam spot,
and so that's gonna be interesting to watch.

213
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:37.120
Yet, Phillips and Mickens playing playing
the starting safety roles, so you

214
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.279
kind of kind of watch there.
That's gonna be interesting how they use those

215
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.360
safeties would as right now, Dabo
says Wade Wood as who normally would play

216
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.080
that Sam Nickel spot. They're working
him a lot on the inside because they

217
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.720
want to have him ready in case
he's got to come in if anything should

218
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.799
happen to Trotter or Barrett Carter.
They want to have wood as ready to

219
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.480
come in and play one of those
inside positions if they have to. That

220
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.919
way, that not having a lean
on the three freshman. They got Richard

221
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.559
freshman, Kobe McCloud, and then
you got the two trip freshman true freshman

222
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.200
in there in you know, Jamal
Anderson. And then the other young man

223
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.799
man is escaping my name right in
the escaping my head right now his name

224
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.720
is but I'll get that for you
later. I apologize, But but they

225
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.480
you know, they're that's kind of
the concern there on the end the defensive

226
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.200
end. They really t J Parker
has really emerged as a guy they can

227
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.840
count on out there, and they
really think that he's going to be really

228
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.440
good this year's true freshman. So
he's right now, he's on that two

229
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.480
deep right now. He's coming in
with the second team defensive end along with

230
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.720
kay Kay deanhoff Uh. They also
got Zaya Patterson that they hope to really

231
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:52.399
kind of show and help with depth
there as well. And then you know

232
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.720
got Justin Maskull and Xavier Thomas.
As you mentioned, we could see Ruth

233
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:00.840
Aroro move out there at times.
He mentioned that how he's kind of played

234
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.679
a little bit outside and so we
could see that happening. No surprise there,

235
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.120
and that means you're probably gonna see
Peter Woods move in and play a

236
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:13.519
little bit more too. On that
from an interior standpoint, so you know

237
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.399
you've got Tyler Davis there. They're
they're just they're really stacked, and it

238
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.240
sounds like if t. J.
Parker is what they think he's gonna be,

239
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.600
then they may have their solution there
at that defensive end because they were

240
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.600
worried about what they were going to
do there, and that's going to help

241
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.960
them a lot. If they know
that Xavier Thomas and Justin Maskell have some

242
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.279
quality depth behind them, that's gonna
help them a lot how they do things

243
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.879
and what their schemes gonna be.
It's great stuff from Will Vandervoord. You

244
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.559
can find him at stealer Will on
Twitter. You can also find him at

245
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.080
Clemson Insider. Will I got to
ask you crossing over to the NFL a

246
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.240
little bit and it's Clemson related.
You got some names like Miles Murphy with

247
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.600
the Bengals Brazil getting and they got
to stop calling him Breezy. I've heard

248
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.799
it fifty times now from New Orleans
Breezy, Brian Breezy. I know it's

249
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.080
to drive you, Joseph crazy,
Trend Simpson. I mean, what give

250
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.440
me one or two of these guys
that you're most interested Obviously we're interested in

251
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.519
all these guys from covering them from
our respective work here with the Clemson side,

252
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.919
but but a couple of guys that
stand out to you that you really

253
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.679
keep an eye on during the really
part of this season. So obviously with

254
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:22.279
Trenton Simpson and uh and Miles Murphy
being in the AFC North that they're definitely

255
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.159
gonna be my radar. I hate
that Clemton that the Steelers got to play

256
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.480
against those guys. I'm interested to
see. You know, really, how

257
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.080
Miles Murphy does you know he's the
first round pick. You know, is

258
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.519
he going to you know, is
he gonna be? How explosive is he

259
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.360
gonna be? He's going to be
a guy that can be counted on this

260
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.639
year? You know what's his hunger? How? You know there's times last

261
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.759
year week we saw him takeoff plays. Let's just call it what it is.

262
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.200
Does he lose that because you know, look Miles is a great kid,

263
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.399
smart young man. Nothing against him, but in the NFL is the

264
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.480
guy who works the hardest is a
guy who succeeds. So I want to

265
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.159
see how how hard he works and
see if he wants to be where he

266
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:06.640
wants to be and get that second
contract if you will. So I'm gonna

267
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.400
be watching him, and then with
Trent Simpson. He's a guy the Ravens

268
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:12.720
took a chance with. They think
he fits their system. You know,

269
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.359
he's been banged up a little bit
in practice. I want to see how

270
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.000
he's used and where he fits on
with those linebackers, which you know,

271
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.960
the Ravens probably got the best group
of linebackers in NFL. As much as

272
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.559
I hate to say it. Yeah, well it's bittersweet coming from a Steeler

273
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.319
fan like you as well as Falco
over here, But now you're more educated

274
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.240
than ever friends on Clemson from an
NFL scale, And what's coming up here

275
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.200
as fall camp heads into scrimmage season
tomorrow. As they're scrimmaging out there,

276
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.519
Dabo's got him working hard, and
Will's doing the same and Vandervoort. Appreciate

277
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.559
your time, buddy. We'll catch
up with you sim Ahi guys, we'll

278
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:47.079
talk to y'all later, and ghost
Taylors
