Listen here.
We all remember Colby from the 2021 season at Duke.
Colby transferred in from Presbyterian College and, after being a beast on special teams, went on to be a part of a championship team in the Finnish Maple League and was named the MVP of the championship game. Colby will play for the Albany Empire this coming season as he continues to pursue his dream of getting to the NFL. In addition to these topics, Colby and I discuss the 2021 season and how Coach Elko (and Coach Feeley) turned things around this year. You’ll also hear from Future Ben as he reads Colby’s prediction for Duke’s bowl game. This was a great talk with a memorable Blue Devil.
Now, let me conclude by saying that there will be a discussion about the team meeting with law enforcement during the 2021 season and the effect it had on the team. This podcast is not set up to fully and completely engage in a discussion about use of force by law enforcement, so please don’t consider this to serve as that discussion. The level of detail that topic requires is well beyond the scope of this podcast.
I hope you enjoy the interview. As always, Go Duke!

This is not a surprise . Not listening and recognizing how players were feeling and dealing with it so as not to isolate players goes back as far as 2o18 . The conditioning and strengthening of players was obviously a weakness now that we have evidence and time to look back at the last 4 years .

Also explains all the injuries and mismanagement of them . Players were either misdiagnosed with injuries before and during the season that could’ve been prevented now that we can look back at it . And the players were telling Cutcliffe this was going on but he either decided to ignore it not listen or he didn’t care and the results at the end speak for itself . Cutcliffe deserves a lot of credit for bring life back too football at Duke but his stubbornness and unwillingness to make changes at end whether it’s with coaches or processes like strength and conditioning and listening too his players summon his demise and the program hopefully Elko won’t make the same mistakes .

I sure hope Coach Elko learns from Cutcliffe’s mistakes. And I really hope he keeps communicating with the players.
