"The film sucks"

Fran Brown on Antoine Deslauriers earning the start said he worked hard and liked where he was at.

Fran Brown on Jamie Tremble on defense: "Thought he was a good football player, super talented, wanted to make sure he could get on the field." Said he thought he can mentally handle learning both sides of the ball. Added others will be playing both ways on Saturday.

Fran Brown said Yasin Willis played well, but he thinks he can play better and his best football is ahead.

Fran Brown: "I think Duce (Chestnut) is the most organized and well prepared player on the defensive side of the ball."

Fran Brown said he has no updates on injuries, but he knows players were in treatments this morning.

Fran Brown on tackling: "I'll get it fixed. We'll get it fixed."

Steve Angeli's lost 2 career games as a starter. Fran Brown's been part of only five losses in the last four years. They're not used to this. When asked about how Angeli's responding to the loss, Brown pounded the podium with his hand a few times."I hate losing, too," he said.

Fran Brown brushed off accusations of fake injuries by the Syracuse or Tennessee side during Saturday's game. Said neither team got any flags for it and he thought the Vols played well.

Fran Brown expects 6-foot-8 freshman offensive lineman Byron Washington to be mixed into Syracuse's OL group in the future. Washington was over 400 pounds in high school and dropped down to 380 in fall training camp, but Brown says he's lost enough weight to earn playing time.

Trimble can play both ways.

Fran said trembles playing linebacker for us. sounds like a 2 way player just needs to get stronger

 

[Cuse On 3]

Trembles starting LB now with Bryant?

Injury report coming after 1:45 today.

Fran is sick to his stomach about the Tennessee game and it’s honestly because I think he believes we are significantly better right now than what we showed on Saturday. Fran has the competitive edge of a champion.

Looks like the next three OL are Miller, Bertrand, and Washington. Was hoping Rice and Pringle were immediate impact guys, guess not.

He’s coming.. the destroyer of worlds

Honestly I’m not sure why they aren’t.

Future casting into the crystal ball. If most guys with eligibility stay you'll have an excellent OL core to work with for '26.

Mack, Cruz, Byron, Rice, Pringle, Hawn, Bertrand etc

Honestly I’m not sure why they aren’t.

Their high school rankings weren’t translating at their former schools either, it’s a crapshoot. Cook doesn’t seem to have that issue, thank goodness

Agreed, cook showed why he was a 5 star. His ability to get opened and catching has been great so far… imagine what he does the next 2 weeks

 

[Cuse On 3]

I will say tho DJ.. I’m surprised about Pringle not starting personally. Mack has been a pleasant surprise at LT, I thought he really held his own against Tennessee

 

[upperdeck]

The oline played physical vs a pretty good dline. Tenn was not running free all game, but they caused some confusion and that should get better as the line plays more together.

You pass 40 times you will get some pressure. Just limit a few of them and you can be decent

Fran hates losing more than he likes winning. The hallmark of a fierce competitor and eventually it will rub off on the team as a whole, on the field and off.

 

[blizz]

Delusional.

Billy Beane …. Right ! ( Moneyball )

Nah, the SAM linebacker isn’t always on the field unless we’re changing our defense

I can't remember a press conference that had a much meet as this one.
