Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good evening, and welcome in the latest edition of the
Klondike Kates Blue Hens Football Coaches Show on ninety four
to seven w DSDFM and iHeartRadio, presented by First State Orthopedics.
I'm Scott Gladskin, happy to be with you as tonight
we'll view the Hens visit to the Mountains and we'll
look ahead to reigniting a rivalry this weekend in Delaware Stadium. Plus,
he's got six interceptions already in his career, including one

(00:43):
in the opener. Kat Say will be on the show
and making his Coaches Show debut, a Delaware native and
starter on the offensive line. We'll hear from Ann war
O'Neill as well, But first we start with the head
coach of the Delaware Blue Hens, Ryan Carty. Welcome in, Coach, Welcome, Thanks, thanks, Yeah,
absolutely want to be the coach a show without you,
so so thank you for doing this. Appreciate talking to

(01:05):
you on a Wednesday here and getting ready for Yukon.
But before we do that, let's go back as we
typically do in segment one and talk about your visit
to Colorado, because last week we talked obviously you're looking
to win every game that you play, but kind of
talked about what do you want the nation to see
for this opportunity for you to showcase your program. What
do you want to see? And you mentioned a team

(01:27):
that works hard, that fights, and absolutely did that. The
score maybe not indicative of just how close that game was,
and we'll talk about some of the statistical categories that
that were close in that game, but there was no
doubt about it that in that contest against Colorado, you
guys were working hard and you guys were fighting. A
lot to be proud about for that visit to Boulder.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, I mean, obviously a disappointing outcome with you know
what the final score ended up being in and with
our being in the in the lost column, but there
there certainly was a lot of effort and fight and
toughness shown by by us by the Blue hens out

(02:10):
there in Boulder, and I am very proud of it.
I you know, it's one of those things I've never
really felt the way that I fail in that. You know,
it's certainly not a moral victory. There was no victory
that happened. But I wasn't sure, just like you're not
in the beginning of any season, right and and in
particular this one, as we're embarking on something that's a
little bit different, and we're gonna probably be the underdog

(02:32):
in most of the games we play, and you know,
how close are we how how much have we improved
in the certain aspects that we really really strive to
improve in the off season, And you know, it made me, uh,
you know, look at us in a in a you know,
the light that I wanted to look at us in,
and and that we can we can fight, and we
can stay in games like that, and and you know,
I think we certainly had chances to to actually win it,

(02:55):
and and we didn't. And uh, those are the frustrating things,
because the the then the non negotiables of effort and
intensity and toughness and run into the ball and finishing,
and we did those, and and then the the playing
clean and the attention to detail. We didn't do that,
and that's unfortunate because had we. I think that game

(03:17):
looks a little different toward the end.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
And yeah, you mentioned some of the plays and the
effort was there, but you do have to make the
plays to win the games. There were some miscues on
pass defense that they came up in big spots and
the last five possessions on offense, turnover on downs at
the Colorado six and on an opportunity to punch it
in and didn't the block punt, a fumble after a

(03:39):
great run by Jakari Kelly, interception, and then a missed
twenty eight yard field over the last five times that
that Delaware had the ball on offense. So just kind
of finishing that ball game and kind of going through
the second half of plays and some miscues.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
What did you see from your team down the stretch. Yeah,
obviously we didn't finish that way we finished plays were
we were playing hard, we were playing tough. We weren't clean.
You know, if it makes you feel better or worse,
it probably will make you feel a little bit of both.
You know. The the interception wasn't an interception. I got
reviewed by the referees and should have been replayed and

(04:14):
it was dropped. Uh so the at least we didn't
have that uh that interception as well, but obviously a
missed pass on that one. It was an average call
against a seven up pressure. They brought eight. We had
seven blocking and Nick had to get the ball in
his hands a little quickly and kind of tip the ball,
uh to the defender. Yeah, I mean we you know,
we probably could have made a better call on the

(04:37):
fourth and one on the six yard line. We also
probably could have we should have blocked it a little
bit better. That was probably one of the there were
about two plays our offensive line didn't honestly take it
to Colorado and and that was one of them. And uh,
and we got to get that one yard. That's that's uh,
you know, just an unacceptable things. As the team that

(04:59):
does go for a lot on fourth down, we have
to make sure that we're we're clean in those situations.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
You know.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
The fumble is so unfortunate because of the the effort
that was put into that play, you know, obviously the
design of it, the the you know, the fact that
he was open, and then the fact that he got
a chance to run so far against a good team.
It was fun to watch, you know. And then obviously
we got a whole lot of football and Jakar would
be the first one to tell you that that, you know,
that's not who we are as a program, and it's

(05:26):
not who he wants to be as a player. You know.
The punt is such an unfortunate situation because it it
seems like when it rains, it poors, right. I mean,
obviously Brandon Locke has caught a million punts in his
life and he just dropped on and that's just something
that we can't we can't do and he knows that
and he'll be the again. But laboring that point is almost,
uh you know, counter productive. And you know, all those

(05:51):
put together means you're not gonna score any points and uh,
you know. So hopefully we can continue to learn from
those things and you know, continue to get better at
the things that we did well, because we did do
a lot of really good things out there. It was
fun to watch some of the things that we did well.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
I want to get into to those things as well,
because if someone has handed a box score this game
and they're just looking at the stat sheet about equal
in total yards three ninety six to three ninety eight.
About it as even as you can get equal on
first downs. Both teams had nineteen first downs. You had
more yards per play, you had more sacks defensively, you
had more tackles for loss. You had more big plays

(06:25):
that's a pass year had over fifteen or a rush
over ten. You had thirteen. They had eleven. So when
you look at some statistical categories against a big twelve team,
you were right there in the mix. We just reviewed
some of the plays. Maybe that that made that the
score look different. But what does that tell you about
what this team is capable of in terms of being

(06:45):
able to stack stats and up up with a team
like Colorado. Yeah, I mean, I think it tells you
a couple of things. One, it tells you that, you know,
we had a game plan that was you know, obviously
successful enough, you know, to come to fruition when we
got out there for most of the situations, and we
obviously didn't execute well enough or call plays well enough

(07:06):
in the couple of situations that we didn't execute well.
And you know, I think there's great things to glean
from that in that we we can move the ball
on the road in a tough environment against a pretty
solid football team, and we can stop them at times too.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
And you know, I think the things that we didn't
do well, you know, regardless of who we're playing, we're
gonna lose football games if we continue to do those
things poorly, if we don't hang out with the football.
I mean, turnovers are going to tell you the story, right.
We say turnovers, X plays and sacks and turnovers first
for a reason. And you know, we did better in sacks,
and we did better in X plays, and we did

(07:44):
not do better in turnovers, and those are possessions, you know,
And you know me, I turnover on downs is not
a turnover, it's a it's a fourth down stop that
actually was the best place you could have one on
the five yard line. That means it's coming out. It's
like you pin them deep, U punt right, So like
those are those are calculated risks that we take to
keep the ball in our hands. The three wouldn't have
helped us there, So you know, I think that you know,

(08:05):
we just have to What it tells me is that
we have the capability of being a solid team on
all three phases. It also tells me that we're not
there yet and we need to continue to get better.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
You're a former quarterback, and you know, all eyes are
always on the quarterback, especially that Colorado game where three
of them played, and now we find out that maybe
Ryan Stall will be moved up to be their starter.
We'll find out on Friday for Colorado. But Nick Minacuci
statistically three hundred and twelve yards passing, so a career
high in that category. But then you look at the
completion rate, it's at fifty percent, and so he started

(08:37):
off four of eleven, seemed to get into a groove
though on that scoring drive seven completions in a row,
including the shovel pass to Joe Silver.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
So there were some misses.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
There was the interception or maybe not an interception as
we find out, what did you see from Nick in
terms of areas that he's still working on improving from
that Colorado game? Yeah, I think there were a couple
of location errors that he had, and he'll be the
just wanted to tell you missed a couple in particular,
the first fourth down was you know, you know, one
of those plays that he'd love to add back. There

(09:09):
were also I mean when you play a team that
is in man coverage every play. I mean they played
man probably ninety two percent of the time, you're not
going to have a great completion percentage. You still can
make big plays and so like you're gonna live by
the sword and die by the sword.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
On defense, we made them pay for it a couple
of times. And they also got us into some situations
where we were maybe throwing off platform or had to
make a perfect throw and they didn't get there. And
so we also had a few i want to say,
three drops. And so you know, I think sometimes completion
percentage gets skewed. Over the course of a season. It
kind of evens itself out usually, and you can kind

(09:45):
of tell what a quarterback is over the course of
a season. But game to game, you know, each each
defense is a little bit different, and so sometimes statistics
are going to be skewed where you know, you might
be able to throw for a lot of yards against somebody,
but there might not be a good completion percentage. And
sometimes it's vice versa. You may be completing all that
it on the field, but they're making you take three

(10:05):
yard ones all the time, and they're rallying and tackling,
and it wasn't really a great passing day. Yet you
threw for seventy percent, you know, and so I worry
less about that unless we're having issues with location errors, miscues, drops,
and those are the things that I think are important
to look at.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
A lot of those stats also helped out by some
great moves by Jake Thal hen Ja kark Kell. We
talked about that, but Thal continues to add to his
highlight reel. Let's go to a point in the game
that I think everybody talking about the game it stands
out too, and that's what the score ten to seven
with forty five seconds left in the game, and maybe

(10:43):
are certainly a stop away from going to the locker room,
where perhaps people are across the country or saying you got
to tune into Fox because Colorado is only up by
three at the break. Nate Evans has an opportunity to
get an interception with thirty four seconds left, and then
it's third and ten. If stop Taylor on the run,
it's probably ten to seven going into the locker room.
But he's able to break one for over twenty yards

(11:04):
and then seventy five yards in the next nineteen seconds
to increase the lead back up to ten. Maybe where
were the breakdowns on that last drive hanging into the half,
And how did that change, if at all, kind of
the momentum and the feeling heading into the locker room. Yeah, well,
it certainly changed the momentum heading into the locker room.
I don't know that it changed the feeling. I think
we still felt like we were in it. It was
certainly frustrating, you know that there were certainly miscues. I mean,

(11:27):
it's not the way that you coach or play situational football.
And you know, I think we on offense, we were,
you know, hopefully in a situation where we left as
little amount of time as possible. There was our attempt
we I think we started when we got into the
ball inside the ten area. We got them to use
the two minute time out, We got.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Them down a little bit. And then when we got
on defense, you know, we had to keep them to
a field goal or less, and we didn't. We didn't execute.
You know, I think there were you know, a couple
couple of contained breakdowns. Obviously on the run, we got
to keep him in bounds regardless of whether it gets
a first down or not. And then obviously you know

(12:07):
on the the two big plays, Uh, they were just
you know, well executed on offense and poorly executed on defense.
There's not really anyway around that. There were uh, you know,
bad situations to be in. When you're in a two
minute situation like that, it can't happen. And so there
there's no excuses for the way that the last two
minutes ended. And as we know, you know, as least

(12:29):
as the NFL would say, the middle eight, you know,
of the of the game is something that's gonna usually
be indicative of the final score, and we certainly lost
the middle eight. We uh, you know, the last two
minutes of that drive, and then you know, the first
drive and the next half we got you know, we
got the touchdown.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
On us so hurt us referencing the the seventy one
yard pass to a Brown, a former CIA guy himself
now playing at Colorado to start the second half. And
then as we just close up this segment, before we
talk to Kate t say who's who's going to come
on the show? You know, I don't think anybody that
watched that game didn't leave with a feeling of Wow,
Delaware can compete at the FBS level, there's any any

(13:07):
worry that, hey, what's della, We're going to be like
when they move up a level. I thought you guys
showed for all the reasons that we've reviewed the fight,
the effort was there and really competed against a team
like Colorado. What was your biggest takeaway that can be
applied maybe for future success from that game?

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, I mean I think it's that, you know, sure
we can compete, but we're not here to do that.
You know, we want to win football games, and we
went to Boulder to try to win a football game,
and we're going to go to the tub on Saturday
try to win a football game. And my biggest takeaway
and it's the same thing I told the guys right
in the locker room, and we were right at that point,
and it's still sometimes in the locker room you're saying
things and you're not one hundred percent certain before you

(13:45):
watch the film exactly, you know what you have feel,
but you don't know what you actually are going to
see on tape the next day. And the big takeaways
were the things that we talked about on the front
end are A. I thought we played really hard and
that is one hundred percent what needs to happen and
be non negotiable for the rest of the year. That
can't waiver. That's got to be the standard that was
set and we have to reach that bar or surpass

(14:05):
it every week with our intensity and our toughness. And
then on the flip side, we can't make the same
mistakes that we made if we may if we play
like that and we are you know, I don't want
to sound disciplin because I don't think were undisciplined. I
think we didn't communicate one hundred percent well, and we
didn't execute one hundred percent well, and then obviously we

(14:25):
turn the ball over too many times. And if we
do those things, it doesn't matter who we're playing, if
we were playing a CAAA schedule, an any C schedule,
a Patrio League schedule, or a Conference to USA schedule,
or an a TENSE or an ACC schedule, we're gonna
lose football games if we don't clean up the things
that we didn't execute well. And that's the beauty of
the early part of the season. We have that opportunity

(14:46):
to and can we go out there and string practice together,
prepare very well, and then do the extra things so
that the little things take care of themselves on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
All right, well, we've got a game coming up on
Saturday against Yukon. As we roll on, we'll get ready
to talk about the hu EXK. But right now we'll
take our first break. When'll come back. Kt Say is
on the program, Back in a moment on ninety four
seven w DSD.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
As you were.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Listening to the Klondyke Cats Blue Hens Football Coaches Show
presented by First Date or the BTX featuring head coach
Ryan Carney, welcome back into your home for Delaware football
ninety four to seven WDSD and iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
And welcome back in the Blue Hens Football Coaches Show,
said by First State Orthopedics, a team of award winning
top docs taking care of Delaware from the beach to
the bridge and beyond. You can visit First State Ortho
dot com. Scott Klaskin with you and now joined by
kt Say, a veteran of the show.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Thanks for coming back on now you're with us last year?

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yes, sir, all right, well, we appreciate you giving us
some of your time. And I got to ask as
a defensive back going up against Colorado, you're you're too
young to have watched him play, But did you have
some awareness of the career of Dion Sanders before going
up against Colorado last week?

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah? I did. I know a lot about him.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
One of the best of all time, a Hall of
Famer for sure, so I'm sure that that was neat
to see him on the opposing sideline. Now, didn't get
the victory in the game, but I was just talking
with coach Cardi.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
There were some.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Positive takeaways, and of course there are no moral victories.
You want to win the games that they were playing,
but there were some good things. How did you come
out of that game feeling about what your team is
capable of doing.

Speaker 5 (16:24):
I just came out of just happy to how we
played together and how we just got to the ball
and stuff like that. So I'm just happy overall how
we play and just how we took it the long run.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, the effort was there. It fought hard, there was
no doubt about that. Obviously, wanted to change a little
bit on the score boat. But you look at the stats,
and a lot of the stats were equal or Della
or had the advantage in many categories. What though, as
you look at film or as you look back, are
some areas of improvement that the team can can learn

(16:55):
from the Colorado game and grow.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
From maybe just tackling, maybe just better to tackling, you
can communicating as well. Everything give me better with everything,
every aspect.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
So I believe it is tackling early in the season
one of the areas that I think of teams throughout
the country, probably because you can't you don't want to
hurt your guys in the preseason. Is that kind of
one of the biggest adjustments for defensive players coming into
the season is the ability to tackle it and having
to do it at a game speed.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
Yeah, tackling communicating.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Well this season at Kat's something new for you. You've
got the green dot on your helmet, which means that
you're hearing the plays. It kind of explained to our
listeners what that means and how that experience has been
for you this so far.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
It's been well, been allowing me to be a play
a little faster. So like when I get the call,
I just communicated to my teams left the right, So
it can be better, I guess.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
So you've got Manny Rojas in your ear many Rojas
a fantastic coach, a defensive specialists. We're so happy to
have him, but he could be intense at times. Jery
wish there was a mute button on that thing. No,
he's pointing out directions to you and you're communicating with
the team and such a unique defense that we'll talk
about as well. You started as a true freshman, and

(18:11):
last year we talked about that jump that you made
from freshman to sophomore. Where do you think that jump
has been now from sophomore to your junior campaign?

Speaker 5 (18:19):
As I really don't know, to be honest, I can't
even tell you that.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Well, you're you've been consistent at least that that's for sure.
Maybe we can't tell what the jump has been because
you've been good throughout your entire career in the already
an interception on this season against Delaware State. I'll tell
you where Coach Rojas thinks the jump has been. Coach
Rojas says, you've gotten into the mindset of a leader.
So in what ways do you feel your communication and
leadership has grown.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
I'm able to be more vocal. I'm not really nervous
to talk anymore, so like just open to talking and
saying talking how I feel to anybody?

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Is that different for you now that you're now in
upper class the last two years of course you were
a freshman and sophomore. Now you're one of the leaders
and you're forced maybe to certainly be more vocal with
the green donna on your helmet and getting the play calls,
And how has that changed things for you?

Speaker 5 (19:07):
This is gonna help me in the long run. So
I'm just approaching with a growth mindset.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Talking to kat Say, one of the leaders on the
defensive side of things, and I'm sure it helps being
out there defensively when you've got guys that you've played
with before and starter returning in your group of safeties,
not only yourself back, but Jason Scott, Hassan Manning is here,
and then Khalil Ali joins the group and he has
a great debut in then interception return for a touchdown.
Tell me a little bit about the dynamic of that

(19:31):
safety group and how you play off one another.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
Basically just knowing each other skill sets and then knowing
how to communicate to them so we can be all
at best.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Well, Khalil Ali yourself both with interceptions in week one,
pretty impressive start. From that safety group. We talk three
high life, right, hashtag three high life. Get that thing trending.
But you know, only a handful of teams run the
three three five? Is that a sense of pride especially
for the safety group for running that unique look? And
what does it do to to maybe confuse teams that

(20:02):
have to prepare for it?

Speaker 5 (20:03):
Allows us to like basically let him manipulate what we're
doing till out a quarterback, I have to really make
a read on what we're in and in coverage. So
like it's really nice for us to have three staties
on the field. We used to have four, but like
three is always good too as well. So it's just
really nice.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, I'm sure it's not nice for the team to
have to prepare to get ready for it. Talk with
Kat say, you might remember him as the number fourteen
in your box score, now number seven this year tells
So the story behind the jersey.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
Swat, I wouldn't number seven in high school. It was
given to you on my coach, like just thrown at me,
So I just wanted to bring it back.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I'm gonna talk with Anne war O'Neil about this in
a little bit. But not only did you change your jersey,
but you were part of the jersey reveal with the
names on the back right. What was that experience like
for you to be one of the first to know
the changes that were gonna be made in a good
way to the uniforms.

Speaker 5 (20:53):
It was real nice. I just felt honored to be
to do that and I felt good showing it into
the team.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, KT, we look forward to watching you play on Saturday.
It was such a great student section, such a great
crowd and whole, but the student section was overflowing against
Delaware State. We expect that to be back on Saturday.
The defense, I would think, really gets to feel the
energy of the crowd because they're out there loud as
trying to help you out and make it hard for
the offense. Describe that feeling when the crowd is making

(21:21):
noise at Delaware.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
Stadium's try to block it out, try not to hear it,
and just focus on what's in front of me.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Oh nose, Well, it's pretty loud.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I will say, great job if you're not noticing the
noise that it's made. But that just goes to show
how focused you are on the task at hand. I
know you'll be focused on Saturday when Yukon comes to town.
KT thank you so much for your time. Appreciate you
coming on the show and it is a pleasure to
watch you play the game.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Of football wearing the blue and gold.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
All right, that's Kat say, we'll take a time out,
we come back, We'll talk more with our head coach
Ryan Cardi. It's a Blue Hens Football Coaches Show on
ninety four to seven WTSD.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
As you were listening to the Klondyke Cades Blue Hens
Football Coaches Show and My First Date or the Pedix
featuring head coach Ryan Carty, welcome back you into your
home for Delaware Football ninety four to seven WDSD and iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Welcome back into Clondike Kate's Blue Hens Football Coaches Show.
For our fans that want to get together this week
before the game, the Blue Hens Football Touchdown Club is
a great way to do that.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
The next meeting will be on Friday. In Quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Coach Sean Goldrich will speak along with Ed Clark, captain
of the nineteen seventy four team. I'm Scott klats Can
rejoined by our head coach Ryan Carty. Just spoke with
k T say, we'll talk with Ann war O'Neill and
just a little bit coach going out to Colorado. We
were on the flight and I would say like a
third of the people on the flight from Philadelphia to Denver,

(22:44):
we're wearing blue and gold. There was really like a
sense of excitement and pride for the University of Delaware
and the fanfare that was out there the events. Rich
Gannon I think spoke with a group amongst other people
that came out there, and there wasn't like a sense
of oh, we're oh.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
We get to play Colorado. This is fun.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
It was like, this is what we do now. We're
in the FBS, like these are. It felt like we
were an FBS program and there's a sense of pride.
I know, you're you're coaching and you're getting ready for
each games and maybe don't get to hear or see
the outside noise, but are you picking up on the
kind of sense of pride and excitement that these fans
have for Delaware football in this new era?

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Absolutely, I can feel it. You know what I mean.
I there there's a an energy around the program right
now and I think it's you know, it's due to
it's due to that. It's due to the announcement and
the and the execution of us moving up a level.
I think it's also you know, due to the you know,
the product that we've had on the field for the

(23:46):
last couple of years and the student athletes that we
have in our program that represent us so well.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
And there's always been a pride and a belief in
this program from the community, and now it's just it
kind of you know, sometimes when things are new, you
can you can kind of get a little bit, uh,
you know, get that stale feeling off and you know,
get a little bit of juice back into something and
rejuvenated a little bit. And I think that's kind of
what's happening right now also. And then I certainly feel

(24:13):
it personally as an alum, as someone who you know,
has so much pride in the program. Even if I
wasn't coaching here, it'd be something that I was looking
at from Afar and uh and being really excited about
and getting a chance to, you know, see on a
national stage that you know that we belong and that
we we have a chance to to go do something special.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
And we're gonna talk with Ann war O'Neill. Next, I
wanted to talk to you about an war because I
think we've talked about k t uh on the program
over the first two episodes. I don't know if we've
we spotlighted a war. What kind of growth have you seen?
But literally and figured because I think he put on
fifty pounds.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Maybe from from from his freshman year. He's a big,
much bigger guy.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
What have you seen from him in his short time
here at Delaware?

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Well, I mean he's always been a great person and
a great kid, but there there's so certainly, just like
any freshman, was some some growth that needed to happen
maturity wise and in particular in the offensive line. Always
that toughness wise and can you know, holding up from
play to play, practicing really hard. Those are things that
you sometimes have to teach. And I think am War

(25:16):
has done such a great job at turning a corner.
You know. I think probably a little bit prior to
last year, maybe midway through last year, I really started
to see a difference in him in how consistent he
was being. I think that was the thing that he
wasn't alwayss Just like a lot of young players, it's
not just him like, you know, the consistency part of
it is not easy, in particular at that position. You know,

(25:38):
you can do the right thing an offensive line on
you know, thirty five out of thirty seven drop back passes,
and then those two might be a sack, and all
of a sudden, everybody's looking at you, you know, and
can you can you do little things well when it
seems like it's it's getting easier, when you're getting a
little tired, or when you're getting bored, you know what
I mean, up doing the same thing over and over again.
And I think those are the things that you really see.

(25:59):
I hear him a lot more at practice now. He's
being a lot more vocal.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
You know.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
I'm so proud of his progression that he's made because
he always had potential to be really good. And you know,
it's kind of one of those those bad words in football,
right as you know, potential, you know, if it doesn't
come to to pass, then all of a sudden, you know,
that was just something we threw around and almost this disappointment.
And what he's done, he's improved past probably what we

(26:24):
thought he could be. And it's been fun to watch
because he's he's always, like I said, he's always been
a great person and a great teammate, and now he's
becoming a leader and a great player, and his progression
has been really awesome to watch. It's been, you know,
kind of a microcosm of that whole offensive line. To
be honest, we look forward to talking to anwar in
just a little bit. Yukon coming to town on Saturday.

(26:46):
First time in a long time that an FBS team
has come to Delaware Stadium. And I've said this on
the air, I've talked about it, but I thought Delaware
just knocked it out of the park in terms of scheduling.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
When you make this move up to FBS, you've got
to coach the game. So but from a fan perspective,
I mean, you get past opponents. So you have the
fans that I've always talked about wanting to play Temple
or wanting to play Yukon again James Madison.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
So you have those, You have.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Some familiar programs that were in FCS like Coastal Carolina,
Buffalo and then regional opponents Maryland Virginia. Pitt I just
thought from a perspective of let's give the fans what
they've been asking for ten out of ten. Now you've
got to coach these games, and some of the opponents
are tough, and Yukon's gonna be a tough game on Saturday.

(27:35):
But before we get into the Huskies as a whole,
how involved are you on the scheduling and what are
your thoughts on kind of the non conference slate that
the Delawara's put together.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, I'm fortunate enough to be involved in the discussions.
You know, I know a lot of them are a
little bit above me. And some of these, you know,
are so hard to schedule now because you schedule like
six years out sometimes, so you know, to get your
schedule filled, it needs to happen maybe when you're not
ready to know if somebody's gonna be good or not,
you know, similar to Yukon. Right, like before coach Mora

(28:08):
took over, this was probably one when you circle on
your statue saying, all right, well, we got a good
shot at this one. When this game was announced, it
was February twenty twenty four, and they had twelve consecutive
losing seasons. At that point, they were thirteen and forty
eight in their previous five seasons. Now, all of a
sudden they win the Fenway Ball and they're on fire. Now. Yeah,
and they are. And it's a really impressive job the

(28:28):
coach has done there, and it's not a surprise, but
it's pretty awesome to watch. And I've been watching it
from Afar, and I think the cool thing, like you mentioned,
is those regional opponents. And yes, there's some really good
teams on it, and they're not going to be fun
to coach against, probably, but that is what makes football special,
right is those situations where you've had maybe old rivalries
or you mentioned James Madison and Temple and guys that

(28:51):
are so close and that you recruit against a lot
and that you played against when you were an FCS team,
and you know, growing up in this area in New Jersey,
I used to go to watch all those teams play
my brother in the Big East, you know, and Yukon
was playing at Rutgers, and you know those things that
you know, they're they're entrenched in the Northeast and those
matchups are something that could be really cool to bring back,

(29:13):
and so we're excited about it, there's no doubt. I mean,
I'm not necessarily excited about preparing for Yukon because they're
really darn good. But it's fun. It's gonna be a
fun atmosphere and a fun game. And that's you know,
I do my best at times, in particular in the
off season, when I'm not in the middle of the
game week to reflect on how cool it is that
you know what's happening and those scheduling things and try

(29:34):
to take myself from a coaching's perspective out of it
and say, is this good for Delaware? Is it fun
for our fan base? Is it going to be awesome
for our student athletes to go out there and get
a chance to, you know, have a great crowd and
in an old school rivalry and have a fun time
playing in a big time football game. And that's what
you're gonna see on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
And you can find out if if Matt nag or
Eddie Conte have any more eligibility in case you need
them on Saturday, because uh they sing game records were
set for Yukon the last two times or against Yukon
the last time these two teams played. Matt Naggy threw
for five hundred and fifty six yards three fifty eight
in the first half of the game last time these
two teams met. Pretty impressive stuff. Does new al Plaquet

(30:15):
a little.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Bit more involved this week in the coaching former Yukon
Husky Oh that's right. Yeah, No, I think he is
a little bit excited about it. But I don't I
don't know. I don't think he was involved as much
as as he needs to.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Be different defensive coordinator. I think when he was there. Hey,
I wanted to ask because it is relevant. It's been
getting some buzz this week. Yukon loses to Syracuse in overtime.
A great game, but the coach of Syracuse then makes
his team run sprints. I don't know if you've seen
this after the game in the stadium in front of people.

(30:49):
Won't have your comment on anyone else's coaching tactics, but
it did make me think, what is a memorable punishment
that you have endured as a player or maybe given
as a coach. Can you think of of anything, uh
that you had to go through? You know we yes, certainly,
we we do it a lot less now.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Uh. You know, our our accountability you know operation and
our our accountability training is a little bit different now
than it used to be. It was very physical back
in the day. And now you know, obviously for for
good reason, there's been a lot less uh, you know,
physical punishment now and and uh and I think punishment
is probably a bad word for it. But we uh yeah,
there were used to be a stadium step operation. For

(31:29):
the most part, we would snake the stadium. That was
not fun. Uh. We have very steep awayside at the
University of Delaware, so that was never great. You know,
I've I've done the uh, the the bear crawls all
the way across the field. I've pushed a log across
the field. I mean, there's been some good ones over
the course of time.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
And and that's your dad, that right, Yeah, exactly exactly. Yeah,
I think that they've got the the the accountability has
gotten a lot less barbaric over the core the last
fifteen years, and it's probably for good reason.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Well, well thank you for for answer to that one.
We've got a guy that that doesn't need any types
of punishments. He's playing great football and war O'Neill. On

Scott CLASSI with you.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Once again, this time joined by Anwar O'Neill and h
first time on the coaches So, thank you so much
for being here. It's great to meet you, it's great
to talk with you.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Nice mission, nice missia. I'm glad to be here.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
All right.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
We are glad to have you on and hopefully you
are arrested by now because you were out there playing
every down, every snap, the old lineman. We're out there
against Colorado and I know not the result that the
team would want. As you go out there, you try
to win every game. Of course, but a lot to
be proud of. In that game against Colorado, they showing

(33:28):
of versus the Buffalo's equal total yards basically upended them
in a lot of statistical categories on the offensive side
of the ball. What is your biggest takeaway from that
game at Colorado.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
My biggest takeaway is that I feel like this team
can play with anybody in the country. Like going into
that game, that this was hyped up to be a
big game, Like these guys are good, and credit to them,
they are good, but we handle them. Like you said,
equal yards and some aspects more and some categories forel
like it showed that we could play four quarters, be

(34:01):
that gritty team that could finish through four quarters and
do what we have to do to win.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
And an absolutely fantastic game to watch it, I think,
and I talk with coach Cardy about this. I don't
think anybody who watched that game left thinking anything but
Delaware can compete at the FBS level. I agree, And
it just came down to making a few of those
those plays and turnovers. But the score not indicative of
maybe how close the contest was. You are a fan

(34:27):
favorite because you are a Delaware native as well, and
we love those players that play for Delaware and are
from Delaware. Middletown high school graduate, You did not lack
FBF offers coming out of high school. Why was Delaware
the right choice for you at the time? Still an
FCS program.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
Delaware was the right choice for me because I had
a mentor and Ketrick Whitehead, who he was in my
ear a lot. You know, he always stopped by Middletown
let me know like how things were. We would have workouts.
He would push me hard on workouts, be like when
you go to that college when you take that step up,
like this is not going to be easy. So having
him in my ear and then come into some games

(35:05):
seeing how it is for him, having my family close,
it was just like the perfect scenario for me.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Kendrick Whitehead, a UFL Special Teams Player of the Year
this season, a former Tampa Bay buccaneer and a nearly
three hundred career tackles at Delaware good shoes to fill
in terms of Middletown Cavaliers. You're from Philadelphia, but you
are a Middletown graduate, So are you are you officially
a Delawarean?

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Do you can see yourself a Delawarean at this point, Yes,
I consider hesitate last.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Next time we'll edit out and then post the hesitation there. Yes,
you are a Delaware of course, a guy that was
part of a state championship team in twenty twenty one
at Middletown. So you have a state championship in high school.
I'm sure one of your goals would be now to
bring a Conference USA championship to Delaware.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Absolutely, that would be perfect for me. Like you know,
my state championship was on this very field, So coming
home with a USA Trophy championship that that just would
be great for me.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
We're talking with and O'Neil on the offensive line and
a guy that went to high school in Delaware now
playing his college football at the University of Delaware only
eligibility wise a sophomore, so you still have a chance
to grow and grow and continue to play here at UD.
When we look at the offensive line and especially left
to middle, you know everybody returning yourself shup finon bros

(36:22):
who slid over to to play center these first two
games for an interur Stephen Denboski. How important in an
offensive line is it to know and trust the guy
next to you.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
It's very important because when defenses know that they're going
against a good offense, they like to scheme, try to
throw different things, pressure stunts, they like to throw a
lot of things at you to try to confuse you.
So when you have a veteran line coming back, like
people who have been through some things, like they can
bring that knowledge back, it's easier. Like I can communicate

(36:52):
good with Finn, thing can communicate good with Shup. He's
been here with Shupp for a while now, so like
there's a lot of communication that goes into that, and
then it's easy for us to just do what we
have to do and with no hesitation.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Nick Minniicucci gave credits, called you guys the MVPs of
the offense, the offensive line, and said there really wasn't
a whole lot of pressure from the guys up front
for Colorado. Maybe a couple linebackers blitzing in, but he
didn't face a ton of pressure. How do you feel
like the offensive line has jailed and graded so far
through two games?

Speaker 4 (37:21):
I feel like there are two games, obviously, like the
goals to get better through every game, and I feel
like we've done that through Dell State that first game,
there wasn't much to expect because they are a new team,
new coach, There's a lot of new things going on there,
so we didn't really know what to expect, so we
left some players out there and then to go to
this Colorado game. Like you said, there wasn't too many
pressure from the d lineman and those were like good

(37:43):
d linemen. Like I feel like that's really a credit
to us getting better every week, scout team giving us
good looks everything.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
You seem like someone who has embraced the jump to
FBS level from the FCS level. How much have you
enjoyed these new challenges so far?

Speaker 4 (38:00):
I've enjoyed them a lot because, like I said, like
almost every game is getting hyped up to be a
good game, and it's like that's what you want, Like
you want to know how good you are matched up
to these people who are supposed to be good and
like the best at this level. So I feel like
it's a good challenge for me every week.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Well, Yukon is next on the schedule. They're head coach
Jim Mora Junior referenced you first when talking about the
team and his press conference on Tuesday. What do you
think you're doing right now that that shows up well
on film.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
I feel like I'm just getting better every week, just
doing my assignment, not trying to do too much, having
that next play mentality if I were to like have
a mistake, just just going out there, just playing hard,
doing what I have to do, and just trying to
be a leader for the whole team.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Well, we talked to earlier. I talked earlier with Coach Carter.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
You have grown both literally as a player and figuratively
since you have gotten here two hundred and sixty pounds
issue when you came in as a freshman. We're at
three ten now. Is that about where you're at? How
does someone go about gaining fifty pounds the right way?
I'm sure anyone can imagine how to do it the
wrong way, But how does someone go about gaining fifty

(39:07):
pounds over the last two and a half years or so?

Speaker 4 (39:10):
You just have to have the right people in your corner,
like Coach Stu and his whole staff, like they won't
let you gain those wrong pounds, Like they're gonna talk
to you, you can get with our nutritionist Austin, and
like they're gonna build a plan for you and as
long as you're committed to like wanting to gain the
right pounds, like it's gonna come.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Give me a meal, a typical maybe dinner or so
during the time where you're trying to put on some weight.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Let's see, so I know last or this past summer,
like my dad has some steaks, So like I would
just make like a steak, some mashed potatoes, just like
the common things. You know, you got to get that
protein in the carbs. Just just pack it all on just.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
A fair amount of food on a Tuesday or a
Wednesday at night. But size really doesn't matter if you
don't have the proper technique. Kind of teach our listeners
a little bit why technique is maybe the biggest factor
in success at your position.

Speaker 4 (40:02):
Technique is the biggest factor because like as you stated,
I came in at two sixty and that technique became
a long way because with the technique, I was able
to compete to a certain degree. But like with the weight,
it came on to where I could just stop a
bull rush. So like if all you have is a
bull rush and that's all you're being with me with
at two sixty, when I get that weight. Then I'm

(40:23):
practically like unstoppable, Like I can stop every move and
that technique is going to take you far.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Like is that kind of the mentality that you have
to have going into a game, no matter who you're playing,
whether it's Colorado or Delaware State or YU can't come
up on Saturday, you have to go in there with
the confidence because a lot of these games this season,
Delaware a newcomer and FBS, you're not.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Going to be favored in these games.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
So do you have to have the mindset of, you
know what we are, unstoppable, Where do you out there
and play our best and they've got to match what
we're bringing to the table.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Yes, I agree, you do have to have that mentality
because you don't know what they're going to give to you,
Like you can they have a good defense, like a
good defensive line, good skis, so like you don't know
what to expect from these teams, So you have to
just put what they do aside and come to the
conclusion that this game is about us, our technique, what
we do best, and then it just should be a

(41:12):
win in our book. Set.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Hey, a lot of different looks you're going to see
from you kind of coming up on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
We are excited for that.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
I do want to talk to you about something special
that happened in the off season, because we know Delaware
with the new Conference USA patch on the front is
unique to those jerseys, but something brand new on the
back as well is the names on the back of
the jersey. O'Neil on the back of yours. For the
first time, you were part of that jersey reveal to
the team. Everyone went nuts finding out that they're going

(41:39):
to have their name on the back of the jersey,
which is really neat. How long did you have to
keep that secret? What was that like for you to
maybe be the first to see what the jerseys look like.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
As far as keeping this secret, I found out like
two days prior and even at that I didn't even
know that it was going to be a jersey reveal.
They just said that to like just be around, like
everybody's going to be like, don't really say anything. And
then we went in there and then they that's when
they told us, like it's gonna be the names on
the back of the jersey. You're gonna do this, You're
gonna do this, and it was just crazy.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
It was a great reaction though, I'm sure your reaction
when you got to see it before the team was
big as well. Well, I know we're all rooting for
the name on the front of the jersey though. Delaware
getting ready for a game on Saturday, first Saturday game
of the year at Delaware Stadium. That student section, the fans,
they came out on a Thursday, I'm sure they'll be
there on a Saturday as well. Described to us the

(42:31):
energy that you felt for the first Hope game at
Delaware Stadium.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
The energy it was great, like honestly, like the fans
they all came out, like the student section was like
really like there was a lot of support there and
it came a long way because Dell State being having
some hype behind them, you know, they have de Shaan Jackson,
they have a new team, they had a lot of
hype behind them. But I feel like that home field advantage,
our fans, just everybody coming out bringing that energy, it

(42:56):
allowed us to propel against dlle State.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Well, and Ward, thank you so much for your time,
thanks for being on the show. Great to meet you,
and best of luck on Saturday against Thank you. Thank
you all right. That was and war O'Neil will take
one more time out we come back. Coach card is
going to talk a bit about Yukon coming to town.
You're listening to ninety four to seven w DSD Welcome
back into the Blue Hens Football Coaches Show on ninety
four to seven w DSDFM Rapping things up here. I'm

(43:20):
Scott Klatskin with our head coach Ryan Carty and coach
taking on Yukon, a long time rival of Delaware, but
haven't played since nineteen ninety eight, so good to get
them back in Delaware Stadium. And this week Jim Mora,
junior head coach of Yukon, had plenty of good things
to say about your program, called your team, tough, physical discipline,

(43:41):
all things that a coach would want to hear about
his his team. But we mentioned earlier in the show,
kind of revived this program. This was a losing program
of Yukon was and Jim Mora got them to the
Fenway Bowl, a win over UNC last year in a
bowl game and continuing to do a great job with
this team. How would you describe the job that he's
done and this program and the turnaround at you.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
Yeah, it's been impressive and again not surprising based on
his track record as a head coach, but just fun
to watch from Afar. You know, it's something that you know,
before they got on the schedule, I was I was
watching from Afar and and and saying, man, that's ah,
you know it is it's a there's really great aspects
of that job and then certainly some difficult ones in

(44:25):
being an independent and you know, uh and those kinds
and just the history of what it was. But it
used to be when I was, you know, in high
school and early college years, it was it was a
really good program and and fun to watch, and I
had some big upsets and you know, nobody had really
gotten them back to that point until coach came back.
And and so what Coach More has done there has
just been impressive, you know, to stay consistent and uh

(44:48):
from year to year and then watching them, you know,
you can see evidence of just really good football coaching
when you watch tape and you watch all three phases,
and they're not easy to prepare for on any three
phases schematically and also tough as heck and play hard

(45:08):
and they're physical and they don't turn the ball over
and they create and they create havoc on defense. Like,
they're just one of those teams that is doing all
of it right and it's showing on tape. It's an
easy thing to see with you know, even an untrained eye,
you can see this team is well coached, they're tough,
and they can play with anybody in the country.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Well, if you got a quarterback leading the way, that's
a good FCS to FBS story. We like those here
at Delaware since we're going through that as well. But
Joe Finiano is in his seventh year as a college
football player, but he is zero and two versus Delaware.
He was the quarterback of Maine and lost in Delaware
Stadium at the twenty twenty spring opener. Got a little

(45:50):
bit more weapons this time, not respect to Maine, but
Yukon has some guys like Skyler Bell, Cam Edwards and
mel Brown at the running back position. What stands out
to you you look this team offensively?

Speaker 3 (46:01):
Yeah, I mean they you know, I think it does
all probably start up front and with the quarterback and
you know, he he gets them into the right spots
and then those guys up front can can run the ball.
Man their their offensive lines. Outstanding running back is a
great player. They're in that situation where, you know, I
think they use that to set up the really explosive
and consistent pass game that they have, And you know,

(46:24):
I think it's it's been fun to watch them again. Uh,
if they're not playing against us, it's fun to watch
their offense because they do a great job at setting
things up and and and taking what they get, taking
what you give them, and then setting things up for
later on in the game. Uh, when they come back
to them and and and have some explosives off of them.
So yeah, I don't know if it's a good thing
that the quarterbacks lost here, you know, or if he's

(46:46):
got one. You know, I got to get back to
the tub and and uh and get some revenge. And
so you know, it's been again awesome to to watch
those guys.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Prepare and then defensively, Matt Brock comes over as defensive
coordinator season for Ukon. He's bringing multiple looks I would
think similar to the challenges that that your defense likes
to present to a team with a week of preparation.
So what challenges does this defense present as you're watching
on film and getting ready for Saturdays.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Yeah, it's certainly challenging in particular in a in a
game week setting, right, It's one thing if you have
maybe a bye week to prepare for, you know, the
bunch of different fronts, a bunch of different back end looks,
and then mixed up in between those two things and
then pressures all over the place. They can bring one man,
two man, three man, four man pressures and all those

(47:33):
things are going to be you know, mashed up with
different coverages in the back end, and so it's going
to really put an onus on on our offensive line
in our quarterback position to make sure that we're seeing
it correctly. And even in the back end, you know,
our receivers have to see that the coverages correctly and
there's uh, you know, they do a nice job disguising,
and we have to be clean. You know. Again, it's
it's not an easy game to come back and say

(47:56):
all we need to do is get better by being
clean and then play against the team offensively and defensively
that do things so well and do a lot of
different things. And so it's gonna be a very strong
challenge for us.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
And then we spoke on this show. Really the first
couple of weeks we talked about you're not only finding
out who is good, but you phrased, I think you
got to find out what is good as well, what
works well for this Delaware football team over the past
two weeks. Maybe what have you found out about your
team so far that that you can take into Week
three and continue to build off of.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Yeah, I mean, I think both teams were so different,
you know that we played against it's still kind of
hard to see exactly, you know, who we are right
now because and in particular, let's say on the offensive
side of the ball, we played against two very different
types of defenses, and so you know, we had to
have two different types of game plans. So like trying
to figure out exactly what we're good at. I think

(48:48):
there's a couple of fundamental things that we know we're
good at. Up front, that's what we do, is what
we hang our hat on, you know, in the in
the run game, and there's a couple of things in
the past game that this is who we are. And
then I think on defense, you know, it's can we
continue to do the fundamental things?

Speaker 4 (49:04):
Well?

Speaker 3 (49:05):
Are the things that I think are gonna help us
become who we want to be. You know, and you know,
are we a team that makes them drive it? Are
we a team that gets those those havoc plays?

Speaker 4 (49:15):
You know?

Speaker 3 (49:15):
I think those are the things that we continue to
need to find out. You know, who's the playmakers and
who are the guys that we can set up to
make those plays on defense? I think that's the big
thing too. Well, Coach, should we look forward to it
first Saturday game at Delaware State, last Saturday game for.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
A while as well. It should be a great crowd
at Delaware State. I know you're excited.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
We are can't wait. We're looking forward to it.
