Speaker 2 (00:42):
Over the next hour, we'll review the season opening forty
eight to seventeen victory over the Brian Bulldogs. Thank you
very much, and we'll preview the season ahead possible chat
with an offensive lineman that helped hold Bryant to zero
sacks last game. That's Bradley and Yahoo.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Give it for Bradley.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
He's here, and a defense line defensive lineman who had
two sacks of his own in that very same game,
Key Shawn Hunter.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Is here as well.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
First, the head coach that is now three and zero
in openers with the Hens, Ryan Cardy, is here. Everybody,
Ryan Carty, good to see you. I'm gonna be seated
next to you once again. Appreciate you what you're doing,
this whole thing again.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, week one.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
You dragged me out.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
That's right, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
I had to.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
It's time. I had to go down the parking lot.
Bring me up.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
You know I love this. No, this is it my Wednesdays.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Whether you wanted to or no, I know that I
appreciate it, and we're excited for another fun season. I
do want to start off just with a big thank
you before we get going, because I never get to
do this during the season because the ratings come out
after the fact. But I wanted to start off a
great crowd on hand. But in terms of the listeners
that listen on WDSD every Wednesday night, the fall ratings

(01:57):
came out once again, ninety four to seven WDSD f
them ranked as the number one most listened to station
Wednesday nights on this time slot from seven to eight o'clock.
So we appreciate everybody tuning in to the Coaches Show.
And you know, I got some guts people that like
to hear your voice, coach.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
And why not.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
You are now the first coach since Charles Rogers in
nineteen thirty three to start one to zero in each
of his first three seasons as head coach. You and
Charles Rogers, just you and good old coach Rogers. He
didn't make it past that third season then unfortunately that
the thirty four season was not his. But it's a

(02:36):
great way to start the year time in time again
with you victory over Bryant. This time, let's get into it.
I want to start with the offense, because you guys,
you guys are clicking. It was it was mid season form.
It seemed five consecutive drives for touchdowns and then of
course the long break that we'll get into. But in
the second half, ninety four yard drive, seventy four yard drive.

(02:57):
What were your thoughts on how your offense was able
to get out there and execute Week one?

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well, I think the uh, you know, probably the biggest
thing that helps us, you know, have that that good
start out of camp is you know, obviously preparation, but
also just the experience that we have, you know, coming
from in particular the quarterback and the offensive line. Those
positions usually help you stay fairly clean in games if

(03:22):
you if you do a great job protecting the quarterback,
and the quarterback has some experience in the past that at.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Managing a game.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Those things that happened in the first games, they happen
less when you have some experience at those two positions
on offense. And so I think that that really helped
us out, you know, having five guys that had started
up front, minus an war and he did an unbelievable
job in his first start. And uh and then obviously
the quarterback you know, who has started a bunch of
games in his past and played like it he did.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
He played very well, got off to a great start,
seven of seven to start the game. He does well
in openers. You go back to last year's.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Game on the road.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Now fifty three complete, five hundred and ninety one yards
and five touchdowns in the last two opening week games.
So good to have the now captain which we'll talk
about Ryan O'Connor out there at quarterback.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
You guys put up some points.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Forty eight points in that ball game. Another stat at
just the ninth time in Delaware football history, we're talking
one hundred and thirty six years of football, that team
has scored forty five points or more in the opener.
So really impressive stuff to come out there and play
that well. And you're thinking, well, they didn't score a
whole lot of points back then. Well, in eighteen ninety one,

(04:32):
UD defeated the Wilmington YMCA fifty eight to nothing in
game two of the year, so they didn't get it
going in game one like you guys did.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
But I'll tell you what, if anybody wants to schedule the.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Why we're in I was going to I feel like
we'd score more than forty eight. That was gonna that
was going to lead me into the next one. I
know you have an open date next week where they
not available, where they playing the Western Branch. What was
going on with that rivalry game that we're missing out on.
Talk let's talk delay, lightning delay. Something you're accustomed to

(05:04):
because where you formally coached at Sam Houston State. But
about probably ninety five minutes all in all an hour
and twenty and then there's already some out of out
of halftime before you were coming in. But take us
kind of through the atmosphere in the locker room and
what everybody's doing to stay connected and stay ready.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
For when that game gets going again.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
Yeah, never easy, you know, and I think we got
a little lucky in that we were the home team
when it happened.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
You know, I've been in that situation in.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Both ways, and it's always a little bit easier when
you have the confines of your locker room and you
have a team of you know, sports performance people like
we do, running around with nutritionists, running around trying to
make sure that our guys are fueled properly and maintaining
their hydration and those things that you just don't have
as an away team sometimes, you know, we travel with some,
but just the actual volume of food and nutrition, we

(05:52):
were lucky to have that, and our our team did
a great job with that, and then our football team
did a great job at stay focused. I think once
we realized that it was going to be a little
bit longer than the first fifteen minute, you know, break it,
you know, once we decided to say, hey, let's shut it.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Down for a minute.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
I think the guys did a great job at maintaining focus.
You know, we you know, we had no music on
for a while, we had no phones, just like a
normal halftime. And then, you know, at some point when
we realized it was about to be you know, hey,
we're going out in about seven eight minutes, then we
you know, we kind of cranked back up the energy
in the in the tub.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
So it was great.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
You were used to this in the sense of when
you were at Sam Houston State there was a seventy
five minute delay in the twenty twenty one National Championship
game that you went in the ended up winning. Is
it true that our very own Chandler Harvin, do you
remember did he get the energy? I heard a story
that then maybe he pumped up the team a little
bit back.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Then, that's the word on the street.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
We were in the coaches locker room, we did walk
in and see a lot of energy. I don't I
don't know who started it, but it would not surprise
me if that was a Chandler Harven's No, I'll give.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
You my behind the scenes of the of the delay.
We go back on.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
About four minutes left to go on the clock at halftime.
So I'm getting ready to go back on. Our producer Jay,
who's doing the show back in the studio. Now, let
just make sure he had you know, archers interview loaded
up and that I had some stats on deck. I
get a tap on my shoulder as it's saying like
welcome back to look at the scoreboard. On the scoreboard,
it says, please evacuate whatever it says. At the bottom

(07:26):
of the scoreboard, it says for more information, tune into
ninety four seven w DSDFM. I had no information, and
so over the next hour and twenty minutes we made
it work of. Brendan Thomas was helping me out and
Chrissy Raywalks dot By. We had a good time. There
was a delay in the second half. I know you're
not involved in it, but there's going to be more

(07:48):
lightning in the area than there wasn't in the first half.
Was it just everyone had decided we're going to get
through this game no matter what, or you did you
see it. I know you're not involved in whether it
stops or not.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Nope, Diald dialed into my call.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
She locked in yep, idea.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
So were the officials and everyone else that would have
made a call at that point.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
We talked and there were no fans there anymore, right,
I mean, it was just the close friends and relatives
we have in.

Speaker 6 (08:11):
Here, that's right there.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
There were a few that came back in that are
that are here tonight. So we love to die hard
fans cheering you guys on. We we talked offense. Let's
talk defense a little bit, because you guys won the
turnover battle plus two. In that turnover battle, Kat say,
almost had a pick six, brought it down to the
one and set up a very short touchdown drive funnel
recovery at the end of the first half. You got

(08:33):
to the quarterback multiple times. Just your initial thoughts. Again,
we talked about offense starting off well, uh, you know,
some veterans on that defensive group, but also some some
newcomers as well.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
So how do you think the defense did well?

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Obviously very well.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
And I think similarly, you know, I think the guys
who made plays where guys had you know, had had
opportunities last year, were a little more comfortable in the
in the defensive calls in the system, you know, playing
a little bit more confidence right now because they've had
you know, a year or two under their belt in
a in a blue hen uniform. And I think that's
something that really is going to speak volumes for us.

(09:06):
You know, we have to continue to stay healthy on
both sides of the ball, but as we get more
and more experience together, I think we're going to play
off each other as an offense defense in the third
phase obviously being special teams continuing to make successful plays
out there for us, because I mean, those guys have shoot.
Anytime you you win the turnover battle, you're gonna have
a really good chance of winning the game.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
You know. Statistically, speaking at.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
The University of Delaware and in an offense called by me,
if we have zero turnovers, we've won. I want to
say every game. We technically lost one game twenty eight
to twenty seven, but we're talking in a what thirteen
year span, if we had zero turnovers, we've won the game.
So impressive stuff it's going to be. I mean, it's
it's the most telling statistic in football for a reason.

(09:52):
You know, it's possessions and it's the ability to score.
And so you know, if we continue to take the
ball away like we did the other day. Then we're
going to make sure that you know, we go out
there and get a bunch of w's.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Well, you certainly have one literally every game at Delaware
that you are plus two in the turnover battle. You
are seven and zero when you have a plus two
to margin in a game. And that's what happened on
Thursday nights. So is a telling stat And just like
you said, so a great job there. We got a
defensive lineman that we're gonna talk to in a little bit,

(10:23):
and I want to bring up the defensive line because
you've got Key Sean Hunter with two sacks, Jack Hall
got to tackle for a loss, Melkart, Apple Jaut, they
was out there with a sack. I thought the three
of those guys put some pressure and made a quarterback
that typically had thrown for a very high percentage when
he played at Coastal Carolina look uncomfortable at times.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah, there's no doubt.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
I mean that's kind of the whole purpose of what
we try to do, right is you know, we call
it havoc, but we try to create havoc. You know,
whether it's quarterback rushes, quarterback hits. Obviously, TfL sacks, force fumbles,
and pass breakups. You know, all those go into a
havoc percentage. We want to stay in that, you know,
close as close to twenty percent of our plays, you know,

(11:03):
creating havoc as possible. And so I think the other
day we were like eighteen nineteen, which would have put
us in the top twenty in the country last year.
So I think that's something really important for us on
the defensive side of the ball. And we created those situations.
We had the two turnovers, we had, you know, a
couple of tip passes, a couple pass breakups, TfL sacks.
I mean, those are things that are going to continue
to help us as we put pressure on quarterbacks. That's

(11:25):
going to change a football game.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Well, Key Sean one of the reasons they got that pressure,
and we're gonna talk to him a little bit. We're
else gonna talk to Bradley and yahoo part of an
offensive line. I thought, you know, your running backs did
a great job, for sure, but there were some big
holes at times for guys to run through. And your
top three rushers all scored, and the top three on
the depth chart can bind for seven point five yards

(11:48):
per carry. When when you're doing things like that. Again,
you're gonna win a whole lot of football games. But
I thought the offensive line and you talked about the experience,
but to go out there and do it, you could
see what experience on the O line looked like in
Week one.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
Yeah, execution isn't necessarily just equal to experience, right, And
those those guys went out there as a unit and
played confidently, played clean.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
You know.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
A lot of it is so communication based on the
offensive line, you know, so that's preparation that's being you know,
consistent in your film work, and you know, making sure
that you're talking together, and then the calls that are
being made by the center out there, whether it was
Brock or Steven, you know, those guys really need to
make sure that we're all on the same page because
even if we're all going to the wrong person, if

(12:30):
we're all going the same way, we're going to make
sure that you know, it's going to look fairly clean
for a running back.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
And that's the big thing, is, right, how do we cover.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
Up people so that our really elusive talented players can
go make plays in space?

Speaker 2 (12:42):
And I know a lot of worry, I'm sure for
those that were there and so on that final play
of the first half, one of our captains go down.
Brock Ingrick such a big part of this team, and
you had mentioned earlier week with ask you on the show.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Just any update that you can give on how he's doing.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yeah, I mean, he's doing much better. You know, he'll
be out for a little bit unfortunately.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
I mean you'll see them again this year, but you know,
luckily not something that's going to be season ending.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
All right, Well, that's good.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
We love when brock Inger can be in uniform. And
he's done at time and time again, so we hope
him a speedy recovery as he gets better. We're gonna
take our first time out when we come back, we'll
talk to another member of that offensive line that played
so well on Thursday against Brian Bradley and Yahwoo will
be here in just a moment on ninety four to
seven w DSD.

(16:55):
Bradley and Yahoo, thank you.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
So much for being here.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Bradley Bradley is a VET played in game number forty
against Bryant on Thursday. We'll talk about that, but first off,
congratulations on the win. I know for you big guys,
it's a lot of hitting and a lot of practicing
against guys wearing the same jersey. Wo was it like
to out there and hit some guys wearing a different uniform?

Speaker 13 (17:18):
Yeah, like training camps really long, so like you're going
against guys like Keithshaw Hunter and like the rest of
the d line, like the going those good work, but
you know, you just try and you finally that day
you get to hit somebody, You're amped up a lot
of emotions and yeah, it was just fun to just
go out there and just play someone else that didn't
have the same jersey as you.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
I mean your line up against Key Shawn and mel
Cart and Jack Hall, guys like that, You're gonna be
ready for anything that the other team throws at you
after a night's camp. I do want to address the
elephant in the room, Bradley, as we we get this
interview going. It is game number forty. I think it's taken.
I think I've said your last name forty different variations

(17:59):
throughout your career. It is probably the most heavily debated
way of how to pronounce the last name Trevor Sassik
or say sick. That was one back in the day
for those that remember a quarterback. I went to Kevin Linton,
who is our public address announcer on Saturday. I said,
how do you say Ayan who's last name? He said,
you know, I don't offensive lineman. They don't get the ball.

(18:19):
I don't have to say that. That's on you, but
say your name for us, just to make sure that
we're good.

Speaker 13 (18:24):
And Yahoo Bradley and yo.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
And yahoo it's and it is silent.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
There we go, So Bradley and yaowoo, you red shirted
in twenty nineteen a COVID year in twenty twenty, so
you had two seasons and eight games prior to the
start of your freshman season, so you were almost a
veteran with freshman eligibility. So how does experience and coach
talked about a little bit, but how does experience help

(18:48):
you specifically in a position like offensive line?

Speaker 13 (18:52):
Just every day, like just prepping, That's one thing for sure,
Like being a veteran, just prepping is easier now just
going through like that process through the week, watching film
and going through practice and so that that really helps.
Another thing would probably just be just playing like the

(19:13):
opponents you play, Like, I've played a lot of great
defensive linemen that that's really helped me as well. Just
seeing like you've seen the best like in the CIA,
like when you played with when they used to play
Jamu and like Richmond have really good d lines out
So like that experience of just playing players that are
elite really helps, so you're ready for anything. I mean

(19:34):
obviously just mean my year, my sixth year here, just
going through the process, knowing like you're just each day
just putting the putting the work. You know what you're
gonna get.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Basically, yeah, and you're familiar with it, and you're not
the only one that is familiar with playing offensive line
on this team. The experience on the old line in
terms of the starters or you know, we on war
played on Thursday night, but one hundred and eighty one
games played across the projected a starting lineup of the
offensive line. What is that like for you to be

(20:06):
in a room where kind of everybody must be on
the same page in terms of experience and getting the
job done.

Speaker 13 (20:11):
Yeah, like playing with Brack obviously Finn Blaze shot, just
having that camaraderie, Like just knowing we've been through battle,
being the playoff games, We've been through hostile environments, been
through like empty stadiums, like it doesn't matter, like we
we kind of seen it all in college football, So
that that kind of like the experience, and like just

(20:32):
all of us just enjoying meeting each other's presence. That's
probably the most important. That we love hangling with each other,
busting jokes and all that. Just having a good time.
Just that's one of the main things. Just like having
that that's I feel like that kind of helps on
the field as well, just like having a friendship, like
having trust in a bond that's gonna always translate on

(20:54):
the field, and it's easier to just do the simple things.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well, well you had, you had next for eighty minutes
or so to hang out. On Thursday night, I talked
to Coach Carty about the weather delay. Take us through
the advantage point as a player, kind of.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
What you're doing to stay ready.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
I know there's some nutritionist and you gotta get your
energy up with food, but it's gotta be tough to's
kind of one stay locked in when you don't necessarily
know when you're gonna get a chance to go to
go out there.

Speaker 13 (21:21):
Yeah, it's just that's something I probably kind of wasn't
prepared for, but like it just it was. It's weird,
just like kind of sitting in the locker room just waiting, waiting,
just like the lightning delay is just like this unpredictable,
we don't know when you're gonna come out. Could be
like like like Coach Cardi s up, you thought it
was gonna be like fifteen twenty may to thirty minutes max.
But an hour twenty I don't even feel like hour

(21:42):
twenty would Just like just talking to each other about
the game, and just like we're still locked in.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
It went by a little a little bit quicker than
the maybe hour twenty It's felt like four and a
half hours when you when I had to talk through it.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you that much you have.
We talked about your career. You have blocked for some
all time great in terms of running backs at Delaware.
Dejon Lee eighth all time in total yards rushing and
Marcus Yarns has a chance to get in the top

(22:08):
ten with a big season this year.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
What is it like watching these guys at ground level?

Speaker 2 (22:13):
And I'll maybe I'll ask more show about Marcus Yarns
because you're you're blocking for him, but he's also out
there making play.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
What's your vantage point watching him run?

Speaker 13 (22:20):
Yeah, like we obviously we're a good old line. We
open holes for him, but sometimes like he just don't
open the field, and it's just it's just all it's
all him and sometimes so it's just it's fun to watch, uh,
just seeing him just hit a move and just take
off and open field. But it's it's it's it's always
honored like playing with great players, like you said, Dejon
Lee even like Nolan, you run whatever, like all the

(22:44):
all the great players I played with. It just it's
good for memories and good it's just good to like,
like you know, like twenty years from now, you're gonna
look back.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
It's like, yeah, Like, well, there's a lot of people
saying that they play with you as well. You are
a legendary in this university as well. And I would say,
beyond your accolades and wins and players, you blocked four
on the field. One of the biggest honors that I
think anyone can receive is the ability to speak in
front of your peers at a graduation. And you spoke

(23:15):
at the student athlete graduation back in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
You were the speaker. What an honor that is.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Tell me how that came about how you felt and
what you're been up to academically since then.

Speaker 13 (23:28):
Right now I'm in the international business trying to get
mine masters and that. But like for that speech, I
was I was scared. I was scared. Like I tried
not to show it, but I was scared. But I'm
a good speaker. But like just seeing like all your
peers just it's different what it's like people you don't know,
but like you seeing all your peers out there is

(23:49):
looking at you, just wait, and I felt like I
started to and I was just talking about but I mean,
other people told me I did good, So like, I'm
happy with it.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
You did a fantastic job.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Is not easy is for a college student to go
up and speak in front of other college students.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
And you did a fantastic job. What a great honor
that was for you?

Speaker 2 (24:08):
And uh and now, h yeah, it's kind of odd
that you know, because you came back last year.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
I was like, he was a graduation and then now
you're you're You're still here.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
We got to thank those COVID years. Let's wrap up
your saying with some rapid fire questions for you. Let's
talk about that graduation more nervous Delaware football game or
speaking at graduation.

Speaker 13 (24:26):

Speaker 2 (29:40):

top docs taking care of Delaware from the beach to

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Date Ortho dot com.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
I'm Scott Klaskan, joined once again by our head coach,
a Ryan Carty and coach This is the coaches show,
people tune in, they try to get exclusive interview questions
and thoughts, and so I try to think of a
unique question for you to start this second segment.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Has anyone asked you any members of the media.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Has anyone brought up that it's kind of a unique
season and there's no playoffs this year and your approach
to the year? I thought, has anyone has that even
been brought up? Has anyone asked you that yet?

Speaker 4 (30:19):
I haven't even thought about it. I can't make the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
I'm sure yes, you heard it here. That's why you
shows like this at a time, you know.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
I obviously it's a question that that has been asked hundreds,
if not thousands of times heading into this season, but
this is the first time on this show. So I
will ask for our listener just kind of the approach
and maybe kind of explain that the game to game mentality,
and you know, that's for.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
Us to talk about.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
I think there's a lot of like, oh, you're ranked
this and you moved up and get to eight wins,
or these are the playoff projections. Take me inside though
players and coaches room. You're trying to win each game
each week, anyway, how drastically does it change.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
Yeah, I mean I'm worried about script and practice tomorrow
most of the time, and making sure that you know
our game plan is right, and I think that I
understand it. And don't get me wrong, it's not like
it's it's never been talked about in our staff rooms
or with our team or whatever it is. We've addressed
any situation because we're also you know, we don't just

(31:22):
coach for now. We coach for next year, in the
year after, and ten years down the road, and the
legacy that we want to leave here in this program
with the twenty twenty four season.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
And so we've talked about things.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
But it's it's easier on the outside looking in to
think that it's as distracting as you might think when
you're in it. When you're in a season. I mean,
you're in a season, you know, I mean, you're more
worried about Bryant and then North Carolina A and T
and how we get better during a bye week and
those things that you know, you know that you're always
trying to keep out of mind. Well, now that you

(31:56):
don't even have to worry about them, you know what
I mean. And so like we're just worried and focused
on going one to oh and winning you know, Tuesday's practice,
next Tuesday and then Wednesday's practice, and making sure that
you know, all those coach speak things that they actually
come to fruition. You know, how do we continue to
focus and being when we're day to day so that
we can make sure that when we go out there

(32:16):
on the field, the outcome is what we want it
to be and that we don't regret anything that we
did prior to because we didn't think back and say, oh, man,
that would have been better if we practice a little
harder on that one day, you know, because we were
our minds were somewhere else. And so for us, it's
really just about you know, playing for each other and
playing for the University of Delaware and playing for the

(32:37):
legacy of the twenty twenty four season. And there's no
doubt that, you know things, our goals haven't changed. You know,
we're still going out there and trying to win every
game we play.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
And you talk about playing for each other and you've mentioned,
i think coming in this year, kind of the closeness
of this team, you've liked the bond that they put
together over camp.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
And also I would think that the closeness of.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Your staff year three for you, you haven't had a
whole lot of attrition in terms of staff. Guys are
back that you work with before, and you think about
any job that anybody listening may have when you start
a new job, you got to figure out the way
that your boss likes to do things and the new
systems in place in that office or wherever it may be.
So speak to just how much easier it is in

(33:20):
year three with the coaching staff that really can just
work on execution and not having to understand how does
it need.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
To be done?

Speaker 13 (33:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
Absolutely, And I think there's also the you know, just
looking inward usually is what I do first, and is
also the fact that I'm more comfortable year two and
from year one and year three to year two as
a head coach and as a manager, and making sure
that the way that I communicate is learned from the
ways that I might have miscommunicated in the past. And
you know, I think that helps too, you know, having

(33:50):
that ability to continue to get better at all times
and making sure that we evolve or we die, and
that's who we we're going to be as a staff,
it's who we're going to be as a program. And
I think the content on staff, I think the biggest
thing is really just you know, when we discuss it's
time saving, right, And when we discuss something in a
staff room, we leave that staff room and there's not
a lot of questions of like, Okay, what do you

(34:12):
really mean by that? Like okay, well, what's the nuance here?
We know it now, it's just a matter of now
taking that next step and you know, maybe now similar
to experience on a football field, now we can go
to the next level and kind of get a little
bit more specific on something and make sure that you know,
no matter what we're doing, we're always trying to be
the best at it and keep elevating who we are

(34:33):
as as a staff, as a team, as a program,
as university.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Well, your coaches on the field in some way, shape
or form, are the captains And as the first episode,
since are the new captains for this season. We're announced,
so I want to talk about them. Brock Gingrich, we
mentioned them earlier, Dylan Trainer return as captains. We were
able to talk about them last season. It's not that
we don't love them, but I want to ask about
a couple of the new guys, more specifically in terms

(34:58):
of the seas.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Tyron Herring as a transfer.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
You brought him week one show one to the coaches
show and I remember, you know, meeting him week one
and just how proud you were that he was on
the team last season. You had such great things to
say about him. And then Ryan O'Connor. Just talk about
those two and then I know you're proud of Ryan's
growth as a leader.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
Yeah, you know what, I'm gonna be honest with you.
If you asked me if Ryan was going to be
a captain, you know, last year, I probably would have
said I don't I might not be this year.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
You know, maybe in another year. You know.

Speaker 5 (35:31):
Just I don't know that he took those steps until
this offseason. And I do think that, you know, he
really kind of changed, I don't want to say change,
just grew into his role as a leader. And you know,
regardless of whether he was gonna end up the starting
quarterback in week one or not, he was making a
concerted effort to be, you know, a little bit more vocal.

(35:55):
And then I think the biggest thing for him is
the way that he works. He will not be out
worked by anyone, and so he's always there. He is always,
you know, copiously taking notes and my lord, you gotta
watch what you say around him in a quarterback, meaning
it's getting written down in that notebook. And so you know,

(36:16):
there's probably some things that shouldn't be in that notebook
based on every once in a while something slips, and.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
So you know, he's great at that.

Speaker 5 (36:23):
I mean, he's one of those guys that doesn't make
the same mistake twice because he won't let himself do that.
And I think those are the things that just as
you go out there and you see somebody continually getting
better because of the work that they put in and
because of the intention that they have each day, I
think that's something that just kind of you know, people
gravitate towards that, and I think that's part of it.
And you know, I think, you know, it's always nice

(36:44):
when you know, when one of your quarterbacks is, you know,
the guy that people want to help, you know, run
the program as well. And so I think that's the
biggest thing about We have a leadership council and we
have I'm just tremendous people on that Leadership Council and
it's grown and we have a bunch.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Of good leaders.

Speaker 5 (37:00):
We have each position represented in it. Those are chosen
by the coaches and we have discussions, and we have
leadership training, and we have book clubs, and we have
a ton of stuff that we do in there, and
they're kind of a conduit to the team and vice
versa from between the coaches and the team and Coach
Rogers is kind of in.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
Charge of that group.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
And the captains are chosen by the team though, right,
so those that's chosen by us and the captains are
chosen by the team. And that's something I think, you know,
it speaks volumes about what those guys do outside of
We see what they do in the weight room, We
see what they do in winter workouts, we see what
they do in practice and on the field. You know,
those guys were voted captains because of the things that

(37:44):
they do in the locker room and in the community
and you know, downtown and whatever it may be, in
the classroom that they are seen out there by their
teammates and those are the people that they wanted representing
are you know, what we talk about is basically who
represents the.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
Core value of the program.

Speaker 5 (37:59):
That's what we want outwardly facing, right Who is committed,
who is relentless, and who finishes. Those are the things
that we want outwardly facing, and that's who we vote
for for captains.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
And so you know, those are the four people that
I think did it most.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
And Ryan O'Connor certainly was able to do that as well,
all of them to a degree, But a big game
for Roc to start things off. We talked about some
of his stats and the touchdowns that he threw in
week one, and I do want to ask a little
bit of personnel here as we finished this segment. We'll
talk to Keshan Hunter in just a little bit. But
nine different pass catchers he was tossing it too against

(38:33):
Bryan on and that includes Sessam's Lewis Silver. I think
I think he threw one away towards McKinley. So in
my brain, thirteen got targets. And he looks like a
guy that we're going to see in the future be
really good. But that that seems to be somewhat of
a design to try to get as many players in
a in a deep group. But we talked about you

(38:54):
and I I think prior to the season out on
the show just kind of the the Depthe not the
explosiveness at the wide receiver group, but having everybody to
get in there and get some passes.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
Yeah, you know, Alison Dreny called him r O C too.
It was the first I'd ever heard that one, and
that's I think.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
This is a w SD.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
It might be if he doesn't go away. That my apology.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
I appreciate.

Speaker 5 (39:18):
It's uh he said, I asked him after it happened. Yeah,
and we ever called you r O C. He said,
And he said in high school every once in a while,
somebody know what it is.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
It's it's a habit for me because I'm a I'm
a big j Z fan, he was.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
He was Rockefeller Records. I just aged myself a little bit.
But don't let that get in the way of a
good story. Your receivers. We were saying, yeah, there's no
doubt there was. It was something that we really hoped
to see.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
We hope to be able to get a bunch of
guys reps and we always have those best laid plans
of you know, let's make sure first game we want
to get these guys as many reps and hopefully we
get them in a situation where they have to go
make a play.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
And it worked out well for us.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
Like the way that our drives went, they were long enough,
they made us kind of drive the field. They were
not giving us the big play, I think intentionally was
kind of their plan, Brian's plan, And so we had
to be consistent and drive the field and we did,
which was great. But it also allowed us to get
those guys touches, get them in different situations, be able
to rotate guys in mid drive and I think coach

(40:13):
Archer being on the field kind.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Of helps with that as well. And and so our
rotations were good.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
I think all the everybody who got in there, you know,
I think most of them had a chance to make
a play, and it seemed like most of them did,
and so very.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Proud of that. You know, I think that explosion possibility
can be there.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
It's not like you know, the that it's it's not existent.
It just hasn't been proven, you know, And I think
that's the thing that we need to continue to see.
And and that was not the game necessarily that was
gonna give it to us, based on what they were
doing defensively, but I mean you have a guy like Jojo,
I mean, everybody knows that he can be explosive, and
obviously Marcus, we use him in a way that's going

(40:53):
to create explosion as well by moving.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
Him around, and I think he lined up in five
different places the other day.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
I have a feeling a Ryan Carty offense is not
going to lack explosive plays this season. So we warn
the tenants We've got plenty of that out there to come.
We'll talk defense though after we take it time out.
We are going to take a break. We'll come back.
Keyshawn Hunter is with us. We'll take a time out here.
In ninety four to seven, w DSTED.

second year man on the defensive line, Keyshawn Hunter is here. Everybody,
Keys Shot, How you doing good?

Speaker 4 (45:04):
I ain't been on the show back in for a while,
and then I missed you.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
That's why I miss you too. Hey, you are fantastic.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Last year, I think you were the first person in
the history of the show that asked me how I
was doing, and so it was a place in my heart.
You are quickly becoming a fan favorite. It's small things
like that, small gestures that make a difference. Do you
think about that though?

Speaker 3 (45:24):
It seems like you do.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Of just what it means to put on the University
of Delaware uniform and represent the school and be an
athlete that I'm sure many look up to the.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
Blue and Gold. I feel like as a community they
exemplfy just overall being a great person. Just from prim
ex I'm a Jerio. When I first got here, I
didn't believe somebody can be that happy all the time.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
That is the prime example.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
That is the prime examples better than that?

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Is that their very best? And when you got him
at the top, everybody tries to follow. What a night
you had? What a night for the defensive line? Three sacks,
two of them were for you, A couple of tackles
for loss against Bryant. Uh, you gotta feel good about
the way that group started the season.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
I'm semi satisfying. Okay. I like that we left a
lot of We left a lot of food on the table.
He left a lot of things and checked a lot
of punishment.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Wasn't it flud Well, I can't wait to see what's
more to come, because it looked it looked pretty good
in this in the stat book. Take us through your
two sacks, though, because uh did a great job. What
were you seeing out there that allowed you get to
the quarterback?

Speaker 4 (46:34):
Well, I'm gonna let you're on a little secret. So
this year I tried something new, like a change of pace.
So I'm my coach. Coach helped. He's just been saying,
just become obsessed with the process. Come become obsessed with
what you're doing. So I created a wanted poster for
the quarterbacks. Is that right? So every quarterback there we

(46:55):
go against, I create a wanted poster in my in
my head, I make up a random price, and so
Jared guests he was five thousand, so.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
I needed that money he got He walked away with
ten grand.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
I had to go get that money.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
I love to hear I can't.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Well, maybe we'll bring you back each week that you
get a sack and to figure out exactly how much
each quarterback is.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
Worth it Kevin White is worth fifteen thousand.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
There we go.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Well he's a shifty guy.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
I hope you get thirty when we come back from Greensboro.
I'm excited about that. Whatever motivates you, and so far,
so good. The sacks came after a ninety minute delay
though in the locker room, So they came in the
second half where you kind of had to create your
own juice. The crowd wasn't there because they had to evacuate,
So how were you able to recreate some of that energy?

Speaker 3 (47:43):
So well in half number two?

Speaker 4 (47:45):
So after taking that, I have a thirty break. I
was slowly drifting off into naps, just taking so long,
but overall just looking out into the crowd and saying,
no one there but maybe a few people. Is it
just remind you a camp like, who we really do
it for? Just the team. We're out here for us. Yes,

(48:06):
the community is great. Yes, the people that came, your
family members, your loved ones, everyone like, that's great that
they showed up. But overall, we're out there. We're playing
for us. At the end of the day, when it's
saying to them when they go home, we're coming back
in the locker room with us. We'll celebrate for us.
So let's play for us.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
I love to hear that in the club tub was
open late, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
After the game on Thursday, Keishan hunters with us two
sacks in the opener versus Brian, you mentioned coach Hawk,
a new defensive line coach for you. You were very
close to to Sam Daniels, who helped you come to
the University of Delaware, Cup helped recruit.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
You to the school. Don't cry.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
It's okay, buddy, it's okay because we're going to talk
about coach Kyrie Hawkins and how he has helped your development.
What's your relationship like with your new defensive line coach.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
First, well, we have the same inities, kh We both
would a number nine, so it's just a match made
of heaven. You know, that's just how that goes. It
happened naturally, and he's from the d MV.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
He had a whole lot of success.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
But when he played at a school that is later
to be named h he did he did wear number nine.
You are wearing number nine? Are you sticking with nine?

Speaker 14 (49:13):
You?

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Fifty five look great on you. Nine looks fantastic on you.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Are we?

Speaker 3 (49:17):
I think we went back and forth a little bit
last year.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
We did. We we jumped, played a little hopscotch with it.
I'm permanently nine as a right now?

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Why nine? What I mean?

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Obviously it looks great on you, and then you have
two sacks wearing it?

Speaker 3 (49:28):
But why the switch?

Speaker 4 (49:29):
Well at the Jersey swap. For the first time I
posted on Instagram, of course me in a single dishit
for the first time in my life. I got a
lot of love behind it and a lot of people like, oh,
you look good and man, so I started looking at
myself and looking at my paces. I do look good.
It makes me look a little, a little slimmer in anything,

(49:49):
you know.

Speaker 3 (49:50):
A competent yeah, a competent young man.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
We love to see that.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
And uh, I did read that you want to break
a record this year. You're not so sure what the
record may be, so I went ahead. Okay, I went
ahead and looked at some records that maybe I will
say that it has been twenty years since a UD
player has had nine sacks in a season, So if
that is the goal, I thought, maybe that would be
one record.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
You can need seven more.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
That's a big season.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
Out of you.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
It's happened only twice in the last thirty years, so
it's happened twice in the last thirty years nine or
more sacks in the season, So.

Speaker 4 (50:24):
That would be for me and coach.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Ok maybe that's absolutely there. You go, So that's the
number that we're looking for. You had a quote prior
to this season, and I love your energy. Everybody listening
to loves it as well. You had one of the
best quotes about this upcoming season and kind of the
unconventional nature of it coming into the year and not
being able to make the playoffs, something that we talked
to Coach Cardy about and I wrote it down because

(50:47):
I didn't want to mess anything up.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
You said, this is our last time touching each one
of these fields.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
After I beat you, you'll never see me again. We
come in your house, we ate your food, we move
stuff around, and now you'll see us again.

Speaker 4 (51:01):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
I absolutely love that mentality. Can you elaborate on on
kind of that mentality as you head down to North
Carolina into a couple of weeks from now.

Speaker 4 (51:11):
It's self explanatory. Guess up, we pulled, We pulled all
these socks out, your little jewels, threw it across the floor, wasted,
pulled your milk on it, and you can't do nothing
about it. I'm a soul winner. When I get my
when I get my w I quit.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
And you'll you'll never be back to something.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
Like Bryant, Welcome to Welcome to Kurr, welcome to CIA.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
See you later, and there you go for one to
know that'll be the record you get to leave with
against Brian. We look forward to that mentality, the wanted poster,
all these things. You have a lot of fun, you
can tell uh. And now it's finished with a couple
of fun questions. You're a DC native, what's your favorite landmark, statue, museum?
What what's your favorite in that area of DC?

Speaker 4 (51:52):
I gotta say my high school.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
It's a big time high school. Same question that I
asked Bradley Dynasty mode. He went Boise state, who are
you rocking with?

Speaker 4 (52:00):
I'm going back to the crib Maryland University.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Maryland as right, that's close by coming uh into somebody's house.
You talk about eating their food, you know, taking their
socks out of draw or whatever. Port what what would
your favorite food be if they had it in the pantry?

Speaker 4 (52:14):
What do you eat? Okay? Okay? Is this a Is
this a pre made meal? Or this is a frozen? Man,
it's not frozen.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
It's not free, okay, So I don't have to put
it in their right on now, it's just there.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
It's ready for you. If it's lasagna. If this is
lasagna already pre made, I'm getting all in it, all right.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
It gets you ready for the game. Who is the
best nickname on the team?

The Blue Hens Football Coaches Show with Delaware head coach
Ryancarty is presented by First Date or the Pedx on
ninety four seven WDSD and iHeartRadio live from Klondike Kate's restaur.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
On an Saloon and welcome back in to lou Hen's
Coaches Show. The next one is gonna be at Lacasa Pasta,
So we'll be at Lacasa Pasta the next two weeks
and then back and forth here in the Consa Pasta
over the rest of the season. We're putting together a
Legends night for you next Wednesday, coming off of the
bye week, so you can follow on socials for more

(57:20):
information and just who's coming next week to La Cosa Pasta.
Scott Klaskin here, Ryan Carty back. I breeze right through
the two minute warning, the new two minute warning.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
I need one of those.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
We're running out of time here minute time, So this
is the two Yeah, that's right, that's right, it's a
two minute timeout, no no warnings. But next week, luckily
we don't have too much to talk about in terms
of who you are playing next week because you do
have an open date. You said on one of the
media calls about having a week two bye week, you
don't hate it. You will get another open date as well.

(57:51):
What is there to like about a week two open
date and how will you utilize this extra time?

Speaker 4 (57:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (57:56):
I think I also said I probably would hate it
if it was our only by right, you know, it'd
be a tough one, rightfully so, rightfully so, But it's
it's pretty awesome. I mean, honestly, you know, it allows
us to have a camp. We had our training camp
we got out, we went and got a victory, and
now we get a chance to continue to you know,
the biggest strides are usually between game one and game two.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
I know that's kind of an old adage, but it's
pretty true.

Speaker 5 (58:19):
I mean, you usually get a lot cleaner, usually get
to feel yourself out as a team on all three phases,
and you go ahead and make corrections, and then those
first game things are usually taken.

Speaker 4 (58:31):
Care of in between game one and d M two.

Speaker 5 (58:32):
And now we have a chance to kind of, you know, hopefully,
you know, do that exponentially, you know, because we have
a chance to to kind of get back to basics
and and get some fundamental work in, get some young
guys some more reps. That almost like an extended camp,
and that's what we've been doing this week, and so
we're heading into practice for tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Did it Did it change at all just thinking about
going into the season in terms of, like, obviously we
need to focus for Brian. We have to get ready
for Brian and get that win. But we know somewhere
along lines or as we're planning, we're going to get
an extra week after that as well. Did it change
it in terms of how you would go into a
season kind of knowing you had a week two bye
at all.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
No, No, just everything is no, and that's a that's.

Speaker 5 (59:12):
A that's your good time a time. No, Bryant was
the sole focus, you know, training camp was the focus.
Then we turned it. You know usually in that practice
sixteen range we start turning into Bryant and and that's
a focus for a long time. And now you know,
starting yesterday, it turned into this is half by week
and half A and T.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
And so I would say two free saturdays in a row.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
I have a feeling they aren't free for you. We'll entail.

Speaker 5 (59:40):
No, they they were, and I'm trying to be better
and actually, you know, spend some time with my wife,
do we do?

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Are you like me who doesn't know what his plans
are until he's told about his or what's going on.

Speaker 4 (59:54):
A little bit of both. No.

Speaker 5 (59:55):
We we watched a ton of games on Saturday. That
was Honestly, my brain might have hurt more watching games
on YouTube. TV has got the four thing, now you
know what I mean. So now I can watch four
games at a time, which is dangerous. It's tough for
the brain.

Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
And so.

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
Now we had a we had a blast doing that,
and you know the guys will have off again on Saturday,
and so you know, it's it's been pretty great to
watch our guys, you know, have the ability to get
a little free time but also maintain focus and uh,
you know, maintain an ol which doesn't change.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
It was a goal achieved at game one and we
look forward to happen again against North Carolina A and
T next time you guys are out there. You do
