2:05I think it applies to me just pretty much. I don't know. I'll talk to you next, but I just let my play to do it. We got to move forward. What is it about the M. Brothers? What is our problem? I think it's hard to see communities which is executing. You know, I'm just holding down on our finances like that. I'm just getting the job done. Doing lots of talking, lots of play. We got to do the rest of the year. Basically pretty much your studies. This is going to be a day to be. Every day is not promised. I'll be over in the instance. Taking myself in the field every single day. During every single day. Total confidence. I mean, it's not worth just going down again and again. Honestly. Every time we go, we take the field. It's going to hurt. Why is it the junk?

3:06I know we're going to give our best effort. I know it's the junk time. We're going to write routes. We're going to get into politics. That's all we can do. We have to think you just got the job done. Stop being on the field. It's hard to understand the importance of the great players. Sometimes in chapter 1, we want to just be able to understand the true time and the spend. It's hard to be able to understand what I'm saying. I write it where I'm standing. Taking energy. My confidence level, you know, has always been the same. I've known that. I could break out and have an amazing game, you know, whenever. But it's the ones that count. Can you kind of walk us through the last touch down there that tied the game for you? I'm taking the big hit and everything. Yeah. Corner out. Do you know through a perfect ball? How to put it really back shoulder for me, you know, to make a play on it? And, you know, just made a play on it. Just thought it. What about this kind of, so what do you have to catch you thinking about?

4:09So are we in the head of the Tech and the Ball? Yes, sir. You know, I make sure, you know, I see my surroundings, you know, you know, some guys trying to take your head off. So, you know, yeah, I do. But I think, at the end of the day, when I see the ball, it's about the ball. And catching it, you know, that's my job. And, you know, I take, I consider all those things, but, you know, getting the job done is first. But the, the port that five has set that up. What did you guys see on that play? Port and five, some man coverage, you know, and Sam, beat your man catchable. You know, yes. Get your arms for that, but this off season seems like a good bit. I'm going to do concentration slash focus on the one game. Maybe this is going to be a run for his offense. And as you guys are going to see the room, that's the one. I mean, we don't, you know, we got to see how everything stacks up. And then, you know, you're going to put on the field, but I mean, a run first offense opens up big lanes for the passes. You know, you, you got to take the safety's low. You got to do all that type of stuff.

5:09So, it's less about, it's less about who gets the touches and more about, you know, how we can capitalize on opportunities that we're giving. So, do you agree that people are right for thinking that this offense stick to you that way? Is it like you think that our situation is so pretty? I mean, you can, I mean, you can take it any way you want. So, the best running back, back field in the entire nation. And we have the best receiver unit in the nation. So, we kind of, we're kind of jack of all trades. So, you've been moving around the offense in the past of different things. Motion's different, straight and waist to get open. But has that increased any knowledge of telling us here? Or is it kind of the same as the benefit of your business? Probably stay away from talking about scheme stuff. So, yeah. What, what was it that Jeremiah did that you think enabled you to be in Iron Buckeye? Just coming in every single day and competing. That's really what we're challenged to do as Buckeye's when we walk into the way we were going to coach make you're supposed to be there and show out and show out every single day. And you're not allowed to have a step back and not allowed to have an off day.

6:10He took care of all his, you know, the non-negotiables of this program. He was never late. He made his way every single day. He gave his 100% effort. And at the end of the day, he was just winning a lot of competitions and just grinding. I'm going to do what, what, what, what, what's your favorite a lot about brand new program? Granted, didn't get a chance to do a lot this spring. What stood out to you, even when he wasn't on the field, this spring that, that makes things like he can be a legit, a back-back player for your own. Well, yeah. First and foremost, he got, he got voted on by his peers to the leadership committee on our team, which is a group of about, you know, 16 to 20 of our, of our guys who the team looks to as leaders. So obviously, you can see how people think of him on this team. They think highly of him. And he comes in every day as a very fiery competitive nature. And, you know, he puts in really hard work and days in and days out. So even though he hasn't seen the field too much yet, we have no, we have no concern that when he does stuff onto the field, he's going to make a great impact. He's only been here here. Yeah.

7:10Last summer, he allowed him, like, he's done as never specifies. He can be on the leadership. Maybe I have to check it for 3365 days. Yeah, just his ability to be able to, you know, talk a good game, but also back it up. Not in a sense of playing football, but more in a sense of, we're going to be the hardest working team on the field. We're going to go in day in, day out. I'm going to beat you even when I don't feel healthy, even when I don't feel good, all that type of stuff. It's all an entirely. From far away, it looks like violence, not just like violence, it kind of looks a little bit like young bear. Right. You were here with Dick. Like, do you see that in him? Like, I'm not trying to compare it to the number 10 overall thing. Do you see that a little bit in the way that he can shift around? Yeah, he definitely is very fluid about the way he moves and we see it in his, you know, his routes and his releases. So, you know, when all the White receivers are knowing the film room and, you know, he's getting crapped. He's doing all this body movement stuff. It's like, okay, we could see he got a little something to him. So, it's just about bringing him along, you know, he wasn't, you know, he just got here.

8:12It's the first year here, kind of built on the long. There's steps you got to take, but he's definitely trying to get the right direction. And a lot of teams get talent for whatever reason you guys seem to develop the receivers better than anyone. What goes on out there that somehow helps Ohio State keep replacing guys in Atlanta? We play Denzel, Davidson, Ibn Olsen, Germain Matthews, Jordan Hancock, Lathan Ransom, Caleb Downs. That's really what it is. It's a, it's BIA getting this better every single day. So, tremendous credit to the defense and the, the ability to be able to develop corners like that. It's just good on good every single day. That's, that's the way you get better. How much do you want the coaches to get open with? It's like a summer. I mean, we definitely have a strong second there. I would say this year. But, you know, it's just, it's just, it's not just their talent that makes them special. It's their, it's their ability to go hard every single day. They show up every single day with a competitive nature. And, you know, we're going back and forth on the field every single day. They'll be bigger and, and spin that each other a little bit. But, it's all love at the end of the day. We appreciate that. I think Will's done a nice job. You know, I think he's gotten better from week one to week four.

9:16I think he has a better grasp just because he's got live reps. You know, the toughest position to play in football is quarterback. He's from a practice standpoint because they don't get hit in practice. So I think they can get a full sense of security. You know, if you go, no matter where you go in college and professional football, the quarterback doesn't get touched in practice. So the game is so much different for the quarterback than it is for any other position. But, I admire Will's toughness. He stands in the pocket. He can see things. He's very rarely does he make the same mistake twice. I think he learns from every experience when he's out there. We have really good conversations in between drives when, hey, this happened. You know, if it comes back and that look comes up again, he doesn't do what he did before. He moves on to it. So I don't know. I think he's done a good job protecting the football. You know, we don't, we never want to turn it over. But he's been really good from that standpoint so far in the first four games. So his, his completion percentage has gone up in every game. So excited about where he is there. You know, we continue to, to complete the ball at a high 60, 70% rate. And I think we'll be really successful in the fish in the past game.

10:19He's used his legs a little bit. You know, I think that's one aspect that I think he's, he's good at it, but it just depends on how defense defend, are defending ourselves. If he has to do that. So we're talking after that. Well, there were still some things that we really wanted to get to that were excited about. The opportunity was that it's on the roads asking about game plan specific stuff. When you look at the big picture of your offense and the playbook, how much you have seen, how much more is there at your disposal as a skillful. There's always more at the disposal, but I think it's what is applicable in the game that you're playing. You know, I think you, you have a course of X amount of plays over a season, but then that's cut down for what you're doing that week because you can't practice all those plays during the week. And then even the plays that you practice during the week, you don't get called in a game because that specific situation may have not come up in that game. You know, so, you know, as you go through it, sometimes you find yourself in the red zone more than you thought you were going to be in the red zone. Other times you find yourself you were never in the red zone.

11:21You know, you can go two or three weeks, you don't have the ball inside the five yard line, but you've got some really good goal line plays, but you never get a chance to call those goal line plays because you scored from 20 yards out as opposed to punching it across the goal line. So each week is different. I think we always over prepare probably more than often than not. And say, hey, we got some really good stuff in these situations, but if that situation only comes up once, you only get the call one play. You had five that you thought were pretty good, but you only came up once. So those other four, you know, you kind of put them in the Tupperware and tuck them away and then try to bring them back out again next week. But we spend a lot of time with how many reps do we have at this particular player, this particular scheme? And then maybe two weeks from now you're playing somebody that's similar to who you had three weeks earlier, and say, hey, let's take some of those things out of the Tupperware that we practiced that week, and really didn't get a chance to run. You get one for four times, four times, and it all worked in the last one, and right out about when we'd be aggressive and when we'd be in the most five. What worked in the situation?

12:21What's your most important thing, don't you think, for just hitting work? Yeah, there's an analytic aspect to it, but I don't think it's always analytics. I think you also have to get the flow of the game and kind of how that's going. So it's a combination of both. What are the percentages if you go for in terms of success rate? But also you have to factor in what does that do to our team if we don't get it. I think everybody is always, hey, we're all in, we're all in. Well, you're playing poker and you're all in, and you only have a pair of twos. They may have a better hand in you, and that's where the situation is. It's easy to sit there and say, four times, you should go for it all the time. Well, that's not necessarily the case, but I also think you always have to think about what. How is your defense building at the time? And we're willing to put our defense on the field right now if we don't get the first down. So that's part of it. And then we have certain packages based on down a distance that if we get to a fourth and. Fourth and have a situation, then we're going to dial these plays up. So I think our players are really comfortable because we're calling something that they practice and run a lot.

13:24Third or a front up? Yeah, let's me talk about real hours that some of it looks more like. But there's always room for development. What would you like to see in the field every pass? I mean, that would be one chair golf did it last night, right? I think he went 18 for 18. So, and then I'm on my same brown one, one for one. So they were they were 19 for 19 as a team. So. What about you? Do you think you lost out receivers a little once? I mean, from the military diary, how about you for directions looking guys on? I think we'll do a good job. I think there's always a growth with all of that. You know, sometimes it may be a newer route that had gone in. And he doesn't have as many reps in the bank as he does with some of the other things that we've run since. Day one of spring, you know, I think, but I think that every quarterback can improve every coach can improve every player can improve. I think it's this this is a growth game. You know, and how you develop and and I hope in game eight, we're not playing like we played in game four. You know, I think it's as you continue to go on and start to add different elements, different things that are happening, different opponents that that's always part of it.

14:30But the growth is is how do you develop over the course of the season. So I'm pleased with where will he is right now, but that doesn't mean that he's arrived. I don't think you ever arrive in this game. I think every day you're going to try to be just a little bit better than you were the day before. And that's that's what I love about Will though. That's kind of his mindset is how do I get a little bit better and how do I how do I improve and how do I help this team win? I don't think all guys have it, but I do think it can be developed. You know, I think for everybody, you know, it's no different than the first time you move into a city, you're going to have to take a map out and try to figure out your GPS. Like how do I get from point A to point B and then after a while, why was I going this way if I could have gone around and would have been there a lot quicker. So it's just part of the process that you go through when you're new and it's trying to figure your way around and you need a map to look at. But after a while, you're going to figure your ability to lay in and then you're a lot more comfortable in your environment. The more comfortable Will gets in our offense, I think the more successful we're going to have.

15:33Obviously game plans dictate something where not, where the balls can go. You guys have as many weapons as you do. Do you find yourself as you in the game? Well, this guy maybe hasn't had as many touches. Can you even do that in this offense where you're trying to get guys more involved? I mean, I think at times theoretically you can do that, but you also have to factor in what is the defense's decision on how they defend it. How they decide it to defend you. You know, we're not. When people can say we're not going to let you run the ball, well then we have to throw the ball. Okay, you know, we're equal opportunities. It doesn't matter if you run the ball across the line, across the goal lane or throw the ball across the goal. It still counts to six points. So, you know, we're not caught up in and it has to be totally balanced in 50-50 run pass or whatever it is. It really is indicative of what they're doing. And if we can kind of figure out what they're doing and get a really good beat or what they're trying to take away, then you are.

16:33You know, and there's sometimes you plan things going into a game and saying, hey, if I was defending us, this is how I would do it. And then you get into a game and they're like, they're not doing that. All right. Well, then we need to take advantage of that, you know what I mean? So, we talk about it and we want to be balanced. And I think we're pretty good at distributing the ball through. But there are some games where the Titans may catch the ball more than the running backs catch the ball. That's just the nature of how the game kind of expressed itself, you know. But there are, we have specific plays where we think we're trying to get the ball to him, but we're never going to force it. You know, if they're going to double cover a guy, then they double cover the guy. If they've double covered him, then someone's single. And that's the beauty of having as many weapons as we have is if you're going to double one guy, then that means somebody else is, you can't double them all. If they did, it's a penalty because they got too many guys on the field. But when you have as many weapons as we have, I think that's always a bonus and that's always a benefit. Well, here at our team, that you know, four games to be offered to coordinate their up in the five, kind of, especially with Brian, how has that gone for you and how you could get settled in the game?

17:36It's been smooth. You know, I think we're, our guys have an understanding, you know, in terms of, because we spent so much time together during the weeks of, you know, how it's going to flow. And I don't think there's anything that has gone on in a game that's been a surprise. Like, hey, what was that? And why do we do that, you know? There's a constant dialogue going on. But when we're in a third and short situation, we only have four or five options on third and short. You're not making plays up at the time. They're what you practice, what you've gone over, you know, because you want, you're going to call something that your players have a lot of confidence in running, because their confidence is based on their demonstrated ability of doing in our training sessions. So, I think it's been smooth. You know, we've, we haven't really faced in a ton of adversity on the offensive side of the wall. So, I think that's really when, you know, it's, it'll show. But I'm confident that our communication systems and our protocols that we use right now are solid. So, I missed the first part.

18:43Was there anything you'd like that being an offensive coordinator? Surprise you as opposed to being a head coach. You can go to the bathroom between series if you have to. It's a bunch of the only difference, I think. It's always kind of tough coach coup can tell you that on the sideline. It's really difficult to say, hey, I'm going to leave you. But there's a bathroom upstairs by the booth. So, if need be. Obviously, you have a lot of players that are big, like those guys that were talking about. Is there a home worry or a risk sometimes of getting too far over the ski's being aggressive? Knowing that you have almost like get out of your three cards like General Smith out there that you can just throw out two or, you know, Ryan is talking about trying to outskim and get the guy like go far through and you're saying, you know, you enjoy that challenge. Is it sometimes hard to dial back when you have the ice cream that you throw? Yeah, because it's not, we're not trying to outskim anybody. We're trying to put our players in positions where they can make plays.

19:46I mean, anybody can draw a play up and say, you should do this, you should do that. Then my question is, well, how many reps do you have in running it? You know, and do we feel really good because we've seen the four or five different ways they can defend that. So, we're not trying to, and you're not going to outskim, Phil Parker. You know, that's just, I think maybe people think a little bit too much into that part is that these people ready to head that people's number. This game has always been about the players and always will be about the players. So, you know, who can really show up in those matchups. And that's what this game's about. You know, this is as good a defense as we talked about as we face. But there's going to be a lot of one-on-one battles. You know, we have to win against their interior defensive linemen or outstanding. So, that matchup with our center-owned guard against the two interior defensive linemen in the All-American linemaker or our huge matchup. And that comes down to just fundamental football. Do we block better than they get off of blocks? You know, can we give the quarterback enough time for our receivers to run the proper depth of the routes to get the ball thrown?

20:46Is the quarterback throwing the ball on time? Where's he holding the ball too long? You know, it's all of that. But we don't sit in there and dream up because you have a Jeremiah or you have a Mac or you have a Q or a Trey that we should do this and this. I think we're always trying to action with their strengths and play to it. But you have to look at all 11 when you're making those decisions. Because, hey, let's just go with the him. Well, then how long are we going to protect for? You know, if Jeremiah is going to run a 60-yard route, you know, I learned a long time ago. Every inch on the piece of paper is a second of protection. So can we protect for that long? Can we hold up? And now what are we going to do for that? We're going to keep eight guys in and protection. You know, I think there's a lot that goes into it. But I think the ability to have weapons at all spots makes the defense have to defend all those spots. So we're not trying to specifically go to one or another. I think we're just trying to see how they deploy versus these four. This is Dave Roberts.

And then we got to go play and then we got to go execute because the scheming's done once the ball snap.

23:52You know, it's do our guys hold up long in protection and do our receivers get to the right depths. And there's a quarterback to deliver the ball on time to a location where the defender can't get his hands on. Just follow up on that. So when you go against a parker, does it feel like a chest match for the pieces can move independently? The fact thing and then what is the tale that you've gotten into a defense of coordinators head for one of another term as a game goes on? It is a chest match for the pieces of moving. So what happened on play one may not be the same thing that happened on play five. You know, it could be different because you could make a different call. And I don't think any coordinator neither side of the ball ever thinks about am I getting in this person's head. You know, we're really microscopic in terms of our vision on what's the next play and what's the situation. It's second and ninth on the left hash.

24:53You know, whatever calls in second and ninth on the left hash on the plus 30 yard line. That's really where you are. You're not thinking about am I in his head, not in his head. If you're thinking that then he's in your head. And I don't have enough space for anybody else in my head. So I'm just going to concentrate on what's next down. It's going to be on the screen. Get it? One quick follow. This is awesome. We're going to chase the follows. You said the tone. Yeah. When a play actually starts, where are you watching? When the play starts. Are you watching how the defense is reacting? You know what you're trying to do offensively. This is a four-nighter. What are you watching? We have really specific, we call eyes. So everybody has a specific spot on the field. You know, so the offensive line coach may have the offensive line to his sideline. But then the graduate assistant is in the box looking at the offensive line to away from the sideline. You know, it's the same thing with the secondary rotation, things like that.

25:55So what would there as many people as we have? There's a lot to that. For me, I understand kind of what the trigger point of the play is. And if something occurred that was out of whack, you know, then I know who to ask right away. So I can ask Bill, Bill, what the backside safety, he didn't drop to the backside half. He actually fit into the front. You know, we thought that we had a play where it was going to be too deep on the backside. It wasn't too deep on the backside. So, you know, sometimes you get a bigger picture because of where we were. And you can see the all-22. But you have an understanding when the ball snapped of what the play should look like. And when there's a breakdown, you know, how quickly can you get the information of what the breakdown was? And why was there a breakdown? Was it because of the defense deployed differently than we thought there were going to? And we lose in one of the matchups that we had, you know, the left tackle missed on a five-techno. And so the guy came in clean because, hey, the quarterback could hit quick. I didn't look like there was a blitz. It wasn't a blitz. We missed a block. You know, sometimes that happens. Great. All right. Thanks, guys. Yeah, it was, it was, it definitely, you are, you know, playing D-Liamon.

26:59And you can just focus on your man and just get off the ball. I feel like it's a lot easier to play, you know, that way. You just kind of like simplify, not to say, I don't want to say simplify, but does it kind of make it so that you're not having to think too much? Yeah, you can say that. You can say that, not think too much. You know, just more so. Let's get off the ball. What kind of impact working with Brian Young, this past week have, the defense line as a whole? I met a big impact. I, you know, obviously, a little bit. You know, we went back to the basics, just on technique, footwork, just to fundamentals. And I, you know, I think that definitely helped prepare this for the game. Did Reels rotations on the defensive line different this week? Just getting, maybe, maybe more plays to sequence together, set a kind of rotating wall. Yeah, it was more, more so, you know, six plays. If you guys get tired, just rotate out.

28:00But it's a cool rotation. And definitely helped us stay fresh. Even that last drive during the fourth guys, we were just a lot fresher, able to rest the passer. So I feel like it benefited us. Is there also just a, like, I don't know, just like getting in the big, with the game flow when you're not, where you're kind of subbing in and out as much? So, you know, you can get more into it with them. No, definitely. Cam, I came up with that second, the fourth quarter, that, I don't know if it pushed him out of total range, but I was in Mr. Fogel right after that. Like, Cam's obviously a leader on this team. When he makes a big play like that, like, how much maybe does that give a boost of adrenaline to the defense? A big boost, because, you know, that's, you know, that's OZ Cam. That's the biggest Cam right there. You know, all you look at and just smile. But it was a, it was a big boost. You know, definitely makes you get on your horse a little more. And just keep your head down and keep grinding throughout the game.

29:01That's key and prestige the way that he's kind of accepted his role this year. He's not playing as much as he used to, but obviously, him kind of just embraced that and does it do anything for you. Yeah, I mean, I've been learning a lot from Cam, especially technique-wise. You know, I would ask him about just, you know, how I would look at his old film, I would ask him about, you know, what was he saying? And, you know, during this particular play, but I think he's an awesome leader. He welcome me and my open arms come here. And, you know, that's my guy. Hey, when, like, some real time stands up front of the team, so like, I've played up to my own expectations. Like, I will be better for that in the play. What does it mean when somebody hits the stage with a lot of people grew up watching him? Yeah, I mean, T-5, he'd do, man. I mean, you know, every game make him be your best game. That's the lead.

30:01You know, but he came up close with a pick. I mean, you know, regardless of it all, he always finds a way to get interceptions on the high-key doing it. But he definitely, I smile at that too. It's like, you know, I watched him high school, or he just his whole career. So it's an honor to be playing with him. Rizzi talked about kind of changing some things every now and then to make keep your body uncomfortable, which is the value of that from a player perspective. I think just in terms of, you know, staying uncomfortable, things that mental aspect, you know, going through a game, you know, things may not go your way. Just being in that uncomfortable state and always having the will to push him, fight through. How have you seen the changes with the benefits of those changes that you all make this week? I mean, like, from practice, the schedule, to your position rules and the locker room? Yeah, I mean, I think we can see it, you know, during the game,

31:03we just watched film. I even though myself, during the run, I was just in my hand placement, it was a lot better. You know, because we were just refining a lot of the smaller details that BYU felt like we needed to fix. So I think it's paying off. And you also talked about confidence, amen. From you all side of the ball, obviously, up there, bigger and higher than you all in the past week, how much was the confidence boost from what you get from this win? So a lot. I'm a lot, I feel like we, the whole week, you know, we was talking about finishing. And I felt like we did that. You know, we kept our heads down. We went back to the basics. The fundamentals, technique, hand placement, you know, that lean that you have to have. And, you know, just refining the small things and it all paid off. So it's definitely a confidence boost. How would you describe Peyton Turner from your time with him watching him through training camp and then having a bigger impact on his press weekend?

32:05Yeah, Peyton, great player, great teammate. You know, that's a, that's a, I think, guy that's my group closer with. But a great, I mean, he's a great player, a hell of a guy. Thank you. He prepared these games day in and day out. And he goes on notice, but the things he does is very noticeable for the team and stuff like that. He's done a phenomenal job. What are the outcomes of a lot of players? They got a little more size on them and stuff like that. They played Manage before. And that's what they've been doing all year and stuff like that. So they got a lot of reps at it. You're going to see me, I think we'll do the same in this game. We're going to assume they do the same in the game. They've been putting up film all year going on how man covers and stuff like that. So we're going to assume and then react to it. They come out and stuff the different. How do you see Will Howard grow? Will's become more and more of a leader each and every week and stuff like that.

33:08He's led the same by example whenever we're down, he picks up this team. And he's a juicer of quality. What year does it take for you to make that drive? How much space do you have in the field and how much do you make the light spin? We have all the things that we didn't have the faith in will he would be on the field. It was a great play call. The defense came out something we did something else, but it was a great play call. I thought it was a touchdown, but we'll... He pulled it down your drones under the relay hall. No. We always get them to say like, you ain't doing nothing to this AK state, but now you come over here, you can't stay on the seat. How much stopping do you and your men do this? You're made? We talk every day. You're made, oh my god, on the defensive side and stuff like that. We get each other going and stuff like that, whether it's competition or picking each other up. How do you see the end drop? He's grown a lot. He's played more and more of this season and stuff like that.

34:09He stepped up against when we needed him the most and stuff like that. He's only been taking you when they get better. He's a crisis against the best receivers up. So you can't get any better than this. Do you make the remains for sure? I can still like Scott, but I can't do it. I'll keep the body in the practice. He wants to keep that about that. He's sunk in a lot of practice and he's also going out there to make the plays back it up. I knew it happened as receivers and stuff like that. You know, catch every ball and happen and stuff like that. I just knew I couldn't let it beat me up and then sign and we scored. So I was really fine. I knew the ball would come back later in the game and they did. I just came out to open kick to my elbow to fast. It happens a lot, but you expected a lot of the time. That moment, you just like, especially in the gold line. So everything is more presented and stuff like that.

35:10You don't really think you're going to pop that over. Yeah, I have one. I mean, a lot of every college football player in the world wish they were here in that position and stuff like that. Definitely a blessing not everybody gets the opportunity to do it. And it's only like probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for a lot of people want to more. We just had to look at ourselves in the mirror and see what was the problem. What we needed to do to address those problems and stuff like that. We did exactly that. We came out firing of all putting more trust in our receivers and then it's open up to run games and stuff like that too.

36:22You just buy any of the necessary mindset and stuff like that. And then we knew that there was a lot going on with him. So we knew we had to back him up to be there for him. Two more questions, folks. I was funny because I missed my black and I turned around here just running towards me. I'm like, he's gone. That's all right. Colonel, how much you'll try to do the right to keep a room in your pad in blocks? We have a lot of problems. We know that a lot of explosive plays are on the perimeter and the wide-ups are on the perimeter. So we feel like the game don't go unless the wide-ups are going to stuff like that. So we try to find every way to impact the game as possible with the ball or without the ball. Thank you, guys. We're just going to expect it to be passed right into the run and we're grateful for that. We can go in through it and help him go through it because we're all out of the way.

37:23What do you think you did to hurt him? I mean, just how I was raised, I just know how to work. That's all I had to do. He's given effort and just going east out of it. I want to say this with full respect. When we see JJ and Sonny, it's like, that makes sense. When you're the third guy, were you surprised to be named? What puts you in that same category? Yeah, I was a little surprised. I kind of have a feeling because I kind of like, I mean, I kind of could have guessed it. But like, I just knew that I was one of my goal to toss him behind a bug guy and I just put in the work that was in the game. So what did you get in now? What did you mean? How did you take it? It was very special. We're right after a text on a parents. And they really knew what it meant until like the video came out and the question explained it to us. So then that's where they took me. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Back then, when I was playing football, I then went barbed in games.

38:23Did you think you'd tell the difficulties of going back and forth? Not just like we were learning that we actually had to play both of those five games. Yeah, it's pretty difficult. Especially dirt and game. You have to put the whole mind around. It's a lot easier in practice because it's like in like several down, but like going left in my hand. It's pretty hard, but like in high school, like I was, it was every other player I was in back foot with the triple out. And so like I knew, I knew it. I was comfortable with it. And sometimes I just take it, I'm walking to the rounds of my scrims. I had like, say it to be the same playing in it. Again, more times I get into my head. I can bring it to back and then put it in the frame. It's kind of fun to play with your hands. There's a little bit of a problem, you set it by back. I just kind of have to be out there. You set it by back and then you try to get it out there. Yeah, so like I got to set the example. And then like my first two weeks here, I was like teaching them. Like I don't know what they're expecting these players because I've seen some new players for them. And even new defense, like technique two, because I keep the same technique.

39:27And I'm just helping them out because we need all of that. What's it like when did the idea of playing back what kind of kind of kind of about this? About like Raff, the team middle, the coach of Golden Ball and Kane, what kind of thing? How did that guys come about? It came close to springtime. They wanted to have, they just wanted to have a good fight out there. And like they don't play the best so they just won't get the chance. What's the other thing you all touch on? They're awesome. They're great. A lot of eyes, it's awesome because everyone's watching something. It's not like someone's only watching this place, so you know what's going on. I've got a feedback to get after the play, after the practice. All three off, you're all fine. It's awesome. They tell you like everything because they know what's the last time I had with coach Johnson and coach Dickie's watching left and coach the one who feels the right from right. So you know what's going on, it's funny experience that you got the big reps in the big games. All that helped was coming into the stomach. It really boosted my confidence. And like, and I can like lead the young guys too.

40:29So I know what's going on because they really don't really miss this first time spring. So I like to do all my stuff. So just that leadership of them. Versatility has also been mentioned a lot. It's pretty long both sides with all playing in different spots. Can you elaborate on that? Yeah. This... Yeah, I can beat that question a little bit more. Can you just talk about the versatility that coach Jason's been talking a lot about that on both sides? Do you guys have any other thoughts being able to play? Yeah, so like, you all have seen it last year. We lost two stars, all maybe started. So like, really guys need to stepped up and like go to season. I didn't know I was playing a start left guard. And I didn't really know I was going to bounce over the right. And what did Donnie knew is when he bounced out from tackle. So like, it really helps everyone. I think a lot of guys this season are playing more positions and it's going to help us in football. But if you learn from Donnie and Jogger, set and all that. Just like, technically wise, they really helped me like, pretty snap stuff.

41:30And like, no one in my life was going to be like, what's going to be like, I can play some of them. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. How would you describe the mentality of the defense right now getting this opportunity for a rematch in the world? Yeah, hungry and thankful. I mean, we know how the last time when we had a chip on our shoulder. I mean, we were riding high before that game and we took that loss. And we came back how to make a couple changes. But I think we understand what, you know, everything's that stick right now. You know, just fighting to where another house, stage, jersey for the next game. That's what's on stake. And just to be able to represent this state and this team. I mean, we understand what's on the line. And we're just hungry and blessed that we get this opportunity playing the Rose Bowl. Right behind your Adam King, WBNS. What do you remember most about walking off the field in Eugene? What was kind of going through your mind in that moment? I mean, there was a... I don't think anybody imagined it. Imagine us losing. You know, I didn't.

42:31That's for sure. And I think after that it was kind of head deep. I understand it. Man, we still... There's still a lot of ball left to be played. I mean, you can let it sting for a little bit. But, you know, if you let it carry over too long, then, you know, there goes your whole season. I think we did a great job of just understanding, coming together in this room right here. Not being afraid to display or hold accountability for one another. And, you know, as that happened, we came back, we grouped, and, you know, we're just... We're just going right now. And I'm just blessed for those specific moments, you know, losing. I mean, no one wants to lose, but the testimonies and the things you're taught within those little situations speaks of all of you.

There are many conversations with him. We can see like he's playing some special moments in a scene. Yeah, I mean that's my boy. He's in the R2X club too.

45:34But you know, Keata, I mean every time his number is called, he goes out there and makes the most of it. No matter where we are in the game. When he goes out there, he's just hungry. He wants to go make plays and you know, we see it in practice. So it's not surprising to us. Bill Rebino, it's on this back. Dylan gave us obviously very elusive in our talent. And he's not very tall. How important it could be to just kind of stay in your past rush lanes and neglect a lot of balls and kind of make a difference that way. Yeah, I think it just comes on being disciplined. No one who you're playing against, like you said, Dylan, he's sharply very elusive. I mean he can, he is making throws. I mean he get out the pike and do everything. So I think for us we just have to discipline and just continue to just meet with Coach Jay. Me with the coach's nose and understand how we can just eliminate that. You're a question about you and Jeff. I mean, your personality seems to be a little different. You're more on the quiet side.

46:34How about you play together for four years, both five store guys. Kind of describe your relationship with him, friendship with him. And just kind of how you cop along each other. Man, that's my brother. Like he said, we're different but very alike. I think outside, like you said, he's louder and quiet. But you know, once we're on that field, we're like the same person. We'll do anything for this team. You know, we'll die for our players and we'll give everything we got. Room together for four years, correct? Yeah, fall camps. Every room. Yeah, sometimes go over there. It's the go over there. So yeah. There's the neat one who's the messy one. We have our share of days when we, when I'm neat, he's neat. Or you know, we might both be messy but we do a good job. Yeah, I would probably say I would better pick an ejecto. Tony Gertman, like I thought. When you're playing a team for the second time, and that was almost a season to go by now. Yeah. How much of, are you at square one with the scouting and preparation? Or how much do you take in that game?

47:35How much do you avoid taking so that you don't have any preconceived notions of what you're going up against offense on the offense line? I say it's pretty 50-50. I mean, that game, like you said, it was a while ago, but at the same time they elevated as a team. And so did we. So we understand that they had, they made some changes for sure. You know, there's a certain tendency we can take back from that game, but we also understand that they went on a little run after that. And we can see that they elevated as an offense. So we just got to continue to watch those games, dissect other games and just continue to see what stands out and what they changed from the past game. We got a couple calls on Zoom that we'll wrap up with. First, we have Nick Hamilton from Nightcast Media. Nick? I just wanted to ask you basically about the synergy of this defense and how you guys were able to not only celebrate the triumphs but get through the adversity be able to be this top notch defense that you are in college football today.

48:39Here, Pete, the question one more time. Yeah, no problem. I want to ask you about the synergy you are able to develop over the course of the season, obviously celebrating the triumphs but also getting through the adversities to where you go all other top notch defense that you are today. Yeah, I mean, like you said, we went through a lot of trials to trials, but there's also, there's a lot of things we can take away from all the wins and losses. And from those wins, we understood that hey, we can be the best defense in the country and from those losses, we understand that there's still things that need to be fixed. And I think when you take all that in at once, it comes down to the common top, which is you can, there's always learning points everywhere. And depending how we dissect those games or how we just continue to come as one and elevate, we continue to just collect all those learning points and just continue to grow from them. And then one final question. Joey Coffin, Columbus Dispatch. Joey. JT, what have you guys done better in the, especially in the Tennessee game and just late in the season, you think about turning some of the pressures that you've gone on in quarterbacks and the sacks and getting home in some of those situations?

49:51Yeah, I think it was more just understanding the defense as a whole, understanding everybody's job. The thing is, as the season went on, we had to understand that, you know, we have to know what's going on in the back can. We have to know what's going on in the linebacker crew to understand what plays we have room of freedom. And I think once we understood that and got a better understanding of everybody's job, I mean, it showed this play because, you know, everybody knows what each other is doing. It's not like the linebacker knows what they're doing. And the corners and B.I., they know only their job. I think we all know each other's job and we continue to ask each other questions on, you know, if they're listening how they can get to the quarterback and, you know, if I'm dropping playing quarterbacks, I can ask Cody on how to open field tackle. So, you know, we just, we just kind of lean on each other's understanding because, you know, like I said, like Denzel knows how to play corner bend at it and I know how to play corner. So, you know, he has more, more wisdom at that position than I do. JT, thank you very much. The first stage is the moment like Dev and the ball's kind of in the way.

50:53Definitely, a little bit of both. Obviously, I just wanted the team to win. I think we got a chance to win. You know, definitely towards it and then it stretched out last drive. I was a couple of plays here, a couple calls that he made me should have gotten, but I think the frustration more so it just comes from, you know, wanting to win more or anything. So, what did you say he was a little surprised how much attention you got right away from the defense? How about you? Yeah, definitely. We maybe gave him more one-on-ones kind of how the game plan was set up. You didn't have a different coverage out of cloud to my side and this is kind of how the game goes. What's the process then? I don't know, like sometimes we're, but whatever reason, just, just to see that. Yeah, definitely. Especially in college, a lot of the game fans defensively were taking me away. You know, we had a lot of success at a high-speed, and one of the ball had a different, the weapons still get the victories. And I was, yeah, you continue to do better jobs when I hear. Why are you so preoccupation the process been like post-game, getting on the same page with Kyler, just maybe it's exchange tax, or you guys getting the film?

51:59I'm definitely kind of asking what did I see there, or kind of go over and play. I just kind of give him what I saw and kind of different feedback there. Mark, I get it. We're asking questions about the previous game. Are you the type of guy to let a game like that linger, or how do you flush it? You got to move on. Got to move on. It's a long season guy. Like 16 more of them. Hopefully, no, I can stay healthy throughout the year and just continue building to better each week. You guys did so much work throughout the off season to get on the same page. How different is it when you get into that regular season camp? Yeah, it's totally different. It's totally different. You can do a lot of things, you know, in shirts and shorts, and then once you go out there, put practice, and you get pads on. You do like the joint practice, you do different goals, but there's nothing like actually going out there, and live action, and really trying to be on the same case. So I think that relationship will continue to develop and look at better places. Is that just a matter of reps, then, as much as anything? Yeah, definitely. I think that's definitely, like I said, that was kind of my first live action together. So it's going to continue to be a good game.

53:00When you're early impressions on the field together, and you increase your skills? Yeah, but, obviously, I have a deaf serve respect, and the JG's call, or preseason, and obviously be all feel really healthy. That's kind of the most important thing, and obviously, that will all help you even going forward. Marvin, when you're early impressions of the Rams, what do you think of the Rams? Yeah, I mean, they're a good team. They're a good physical team. I got a new, new, new guys up front, I think. That's kind of where the strong suit is. Kind of a little different to Buffalo, come over a little match coverage. So I'm excited to build this. Personally, when the bells did give you one of my opportunities, how do you feel today? Wasn't many of them. Wasn't many of them. So, I thought I could do it. I'm just what you think, versus just playing. You know, not getting a preseason game, actually. I think it's a lot of things to the past. It's definitely, definitely thinking a lot out there, and I think I'll come with reps. I think to think and less, and just going out there and playing, definitely come with reps. And it's something you're all getting better at, but I think definitely, I was thinking a lot out there.

54:02Is there anything you can do to bring that? That's for coverage. Anything you can do to pass, because you're going to fix that a lot, obviously. Yeah, I mean, you just got to see, get open for yourself, make yourself available. The one the ball does, can be made, making the play. I don't know, but he's just taking you away, that means other guys are having a chance to get open. So, that's how kind of high I look at it. It's no longer 16 or offends. That's the best thing for us. They're kind to be able to be with Tyler. Is there something that comes pretty quickly in a new game, or something like that? Hopefully sooner or later, I think. I'll continue to see. I don't think we're in a bad place right now at all. Obviously, I don't know what you think about that. But just a live reps, we'll continue to grow and show. I've been doing a lot of things, and how I've made me lead, maybe different than somebody else made me lead. You know, like to practice, at least, like to be a positivity. You know what I mean? So, he, the energy I've learned beyond, just like hyperview on, so I was kind of, how I want to be going on.

55:02Literally, my whole life, all I get, I felt, team captain, like specifically, and I felt I wasn't a captain in high school. I wasn't a captain in college, but I want to make a joke, because I was in high school. So, I feel like I'm not going to be a captain until I get that I felt. But that would be awesome. You know, but, you know, the happens, I'd be great, but not either way. I want to assume a role as a captain from the perspective of the guys until the visual war and get back in that way. Yeah, I mean, I can't say that, I mean, I guess the biggest thing is that I felt like I felt like how you used to in the past, but it didn't take just the first LTAs, it took training and left and right, once this season ended, because I know what was going to be the champion. So, I took a lot of reps, just to give back to feeling like myself for the LTAs, and then that whole first week, but now like today specifically,

56:06just changing some small things with my feet, that good thing, talking about the long coach, about some things I'm going to do with my feet to get to that, but to sell that traditional angle that I love to sit on, I thought I felt great already, but I felt even better. So, I need more excites tomorrow now, get on my feet back, and how I like the right side and on the left side. So, on the right side. I mean, obviously I feel like in the league, whether I left the right, you're still going against Premier Guy, and I saw obviously the high expectations for the left and right tackle, but definitely the level of energy and the expectations definitely take the human strength, because now tonight it applies, that's the D tackle world. So, yeah, I would say in terms of communication as far as this even outside of the facility, you just stuff like that, like really creating that, the tackle quarterback, you do bond even more off the field, I think has been something that's even the cool way to do it.

57:09I got a text one day, and I said, hey, you put it up, I was like, yeah, I've been training both. I've been training both. I asked after the season there, like honestly, we'll talk to you in a certain season, and I just got a text one, and I was like, I'm not going to be a good tackle, I'm just going to be a good tackle. And I'd rather do that than training all the right time, we're going to call that a good tackle. I didn't even switch my feet yet. So, I'm like, let me just prepare an advance, I'll get it. I think occasionally, on third down, there would be a lot of twists, that was just not like it's automatic, it's common. And I think that was my mindset for the first half of the season, like I didn't have to go into the game with some pros, like gosh, they did that.

58:09I kind of figured, okay, this is the type of rush, I'm going to get it. This is how this guy usually rushes. This is how the end is, like the rush tackles at it, first year guys, we got the premier patch on. I already know what it was going to be, we'll be every stunt. And honestly, just knowing that's kind of an advantage to, so they brought the twist on my side again. It was never air-com, but they come up and I was like, three plays in a row. Two minutes, I knew that, it was going to happen. So, you know what I mean? I'm watching more everybody else, and he rarely goes out there occasionally. I was like, three down, I was like, he's going to pick me. You know what I mean? So, that effect, it's kind of, it's also kind of an advantage in a way. But it's also exciting, okay, I'm going to get the hardest look. You know, so it's a real, real reps, you know, the things. Really, I went in kind of process. And I was like, hey, when they tell me, they'll let me know about it, I'm just going to train it.

59:12I was training all the way up until TAs, I guess, if I didn't hear anything about TAs, I came in like, so, you know what I mean? Because just like, I'm cool with training both, continue. I would have been cool with training both continually, but I feel like anybody, any position, will be like, okay, you want as soon as possible, you give your feet kind of settled in, your hips settled in, your hands, so then, second towel wet. Would it have been harder for you to work both during OTU? No, no. But they're definitely, but in terms of the development, they're definitely a lot faster to stay on the one side. But I think having that week that we had the transitional seasons over, I'm like, well, spot. You know, good, good. I'm trying to get up, put up my front, I mean, week. Things at a time right now, but when it comes back, I'm showing them to the one house, so I've got a house that's not too far from, so I told them, I got that house,

1:00:13like, I could yell outside. DJ. You know what I mean? Yeah. That doesn't have any stock or anything. Doesn't mean anything, so we're at the play on Friday, and that's really all that matters. We're going to take two more from Zoom before turning it back. Our first one's going to come from Stephen from Cleveland.com. Go ahead. It's the fun, I'm sorry. We've seen, you were talking about the Ohio State Office, the success that they've had. Obviously, Jeremiah has been a big part of that. What's it been like this year going against him in practice, and you know, after doing that, does it surprise you at all to see him having a success he's had as a freshman? No, it doesn't bring me surprises. It was pretty, pretty easy to see the talent that he has and the blessings that God has put on his plate. It's always a challenge going against Jeremiah and other receivers and Mecca and Karnelen practice, and even guys like Brandon and his impression Rogers, they do a great job bringing looks for the defense and create a lot of obstacles.

1:01:22Our final question from Zoom is going to come from Dan Hope. Go ahead, Dan. Caleb, you, Quinn had a lot of success against you guys when you played him at Alabama last year. Just what do you remember from going up against him last year and what can you learn from that game? Really smart quarterback knows how to operate their offense, post the ball in the right places, and then Coach Narkeeson does a great job putting him in positions to win. Jerry, back to you. Thank you, Rob Aller. Columbus Dispatch, Caleb, JT and Jack, playing opposite sides, and they is opposite off the field as they are on in terms of personality and just the people they are. They are offices, but they are also one of the closest people I know they have spent a lot of time together. They have come from different sides of the country, so they are different people for sure, but they are both really great people and really great men. I am sorry to expect both of them. How did you do that?

1:02:25I am not going to do that. Throughout the season we would always see you on Wednesday nights and you and Nathan would be some of the last people off the field. Are the things that you are working on after a practice always the same? Is it a routine? What are the things that you are hoping to get out of those extra moments after practice? It is a routine, pretty much the keys that we need to go into the game with and also changes week to week based on what our jobs are going to put us into doing. Every week we go through the same things and then we add certain things that we do for what the team that we play is going to ask us to accomplish. Bill, we are going to ask you a question. Bill, we are going to ask you a question. Bill, we have been on the show for a long time. What do you do in the action and play action? What do they do well in those spots?

1:03:27They do a really good job with I-Candy. It creates a lot of challenges for defense in order to see if it is a runner pass and to see because that is when they are going to take their shots too as well. We are having a great eye discipline seeing the line and seeing what is telling us. That is what it does. Deep right, Nick Walker, Letterman Rolfe. Hey, you guys had a pretty good game plan for Tyler Warren. You guys have another Texas weather good tight in and gone around. What are you guys going to have to do to limit him and what do you think about his game? He is a really good player. He makes a lot of plays and he has a lot of receiving yards this year. So, really just do the same thing we have done all year. Just be disciplined in our responsibilities and if you are on them you have to make a play when it comes. Right, one of the main rebuilders. Playman.com. When you think that the receivers are kind of whole, they stress ball around and seems like a lot of what stands out about the way that they can stretch the ball around and those that you guys have.

1:04:29A lot of really good athletes. I play with Isaiah Bond, who is a really great receiver, a lot of speed. And then all the receivers have made a lot of plays. So, everybody has to be on their peasy and cute as if we are going to stop them and have a do a really good job. Brother, on your 10 May Letterman Rolfe? Yeah, kill, but you moved up here and I don't have to tell you when you moved. Basically a year ago. It was a little bit of a leap of faith because you know how many athletes are on this team, good athletes and stuff. But when did you really feel this defense come into its own? And then past that, man, watching in the Rose Bowl, your recognition of what was coming seemed to be on point. Did it feel like that? I mean, you personally. I think the defense has played really well throughout the season. I think we've had games where we played better and games where we haven't put it all together. I think that's how all defenses are. So I can't say there's a certain moment where I think we put it together.

1:05:31But what was your second part of your question? You seem really on point against Oregon about recognizing what was coming. You were really active out there directing and things like that. Did it feel like that, I guess? I feel like, as Luke said earlier, the preparation that we put in goes into that. I'm doing what we're doing, what we're doing, what we're seeing with the other teams. I feel like that allows us to play fast and me and Lakers to communicate to everybody else. Do I miss anyone's questions here? Steve, how long have you been playing in sports? Yeah, Caleb, but you came to Ohio State to play for a national championship. And there were a lot of ups and downs throughout the season. To be in this position, the last four teams still live. And you always had faith that this is how it was going to turn out. I came to Ohio State to become a better player and to help the team be as good as it can be. Not to win a national championship.

1:06:31That wasn't the only goal for me coming here. I really just wanted to be in the team and be with the brotherhood. But it's a great feeling being in the final four and being with the team and everything that comes with that. But it's a blessing to be here. And one final question, Bill Reben, what's the club that's this bad? Yeah, I did want to follow up. When I talked to you at the back of the game, you said, when they scored their first and second touchdown, you were really hot on the sidelines. What was your message to the team? And you know, that's a good offense. They're going to score against most people. Why were you so hot? Really just because we didn't execute, which let them score. So we've done that a lot, which is something we can't do in these big games and these games where it's going to go home. So we got to make the plays when they come and get our competitive excellence as Coach Dases make the play where your number's called. Caleb, thank you very much. I feel like they're definitely picking up quick. I mean, I was in their shoes one time and I had Zach Harrison, Javonte, and Tyler Friedel in front of me. So I feel like I'm just trying to be one of those peers that they work for me and kind of just giving them the steps to get there.

1:07:35And I feel like they're definitely picking up quick and they're definitely going to be one of the great rushmen. I feel like all the camps I've definitely gotten a big course learned and I love that because I asked Coach J4, I love getting more reps because I just like protecting my craft. So I mean, some people may not need it, some people need it. But I mean, I'm sorry. So I'm just going to be a little bit more comfortable. I feel like all the camps I've definitely gotten a big course learned and I love that because I asked Coach J4, I love getting more reps because I just like protecting my craft. So I mean, some people may not need it, some people need it, but I mean, I just like to give you as many reps as I can. What do you think about that course learned? So what do I mean? I mean, for me, it's always just kind of getting my little details perfectly, like my steps, my footing, kind of just perfecting my toolbox and what we call it and my craft and just trying to be a, like whenever every place you kind of do. What do you think I'm the biggest student in the world? I think I'm a big player. You're seeing a lot of stuff about the way you are in this sport.

1:08:35Yeah, I'm definitely just getting stronger faster, everything all the above. But one of my big things is being a leader and kind of just not trying to still look up to Jack and JT and kind of have my own kind of leadership and be able to bring people into. So I feel like I kind of have a lot of leaders on the D line and at the D in position. So we kind of just kind of talk to each other and I'm just. It's definitely tough for me to be able to hold up on these guys playing with them all. And I'm just kind of just trying to get them to know each other and try to make it feel like a leader. So you guys guys, what's that position? It's competitive and we love it. We all competitive people, we all love to fish each other and I feel like we're bringing the best out of all of this. I feel like we all just kind of bouncing off each other and see what one person does and we kind of build it into our toolbox and we all kind of just kind of build one great big one. Hey, you remember last year when you got the shot and pulled a full back in, and did they approach you with that idea and two coached them? I mean, how did that come about?

1:09:36Because you heard Jack saw your flop in. You get to test that. So I definitely did it in high school. I was pulled back and a little bit of tidied in. So I feel like it kind of saw what I could do there in Coach Wilson. Honestly, you love watching it too. And I feel like you playing that seed in Coach Day's head and Coach Day kind of just went for it and tried to do the best I could to do it. Is that continuing now? Do anything in the spring? New playbook, I did not know you haven't got that far. How tough was that for you? You're looking back on it. I like to think myself as a football player. I can really play any position on the field you need me to just give me a weaker two to learn it and kind of perfect it and try to do my best for you. Kid Jack, you're the same thing. Oh yeah. Well, don't lie. Graphically, that's why. I was talking to Coach Johnson on Tuesday about some of the conversations and sort of sought you and got out to have some conversations after JT and Jack decided to come back. Just kind of went into those from your perspective and how did that help you maybe get the right mindset I guess when it needs to come.

1:10:36Definitely kind of seeing it all the way through. I feel like people kind of just see what happened and they don't know everything that goes into it, how long the season is now. What you got to do to prepare for and what happened and all that time from here to then. So I feel like we definitely just coached in, we kind of connected, and we kind of just talked man-to-man and he kind of just said straight to me. And I feel like we kind of both have been on it and we know we're making it. We're making each other better every day and we got the four best Dn's, five best Dn's, honestly. We're going to be one of the best Dn's in coach football. How do you feel like a better player today at any more again this year? I feel like I've taken big steps in my roles of just being responsible and being more of a leader and kind of stepping up and taking a step to kind of get out there more on the team and kind of bring people in and I feel like I'm kind of helping out more. How do you record your head around the past 17th grade season? Is it sound? I mean it sounds bizarre but I mean the season goes by so fast already.

1:11:37So when you're kind of like week 10 and you're like wow it's already week 10. So now it's kind of keeping you more time to kind of enjoy it and kind of savor it because you've come already here for a feeling of freshness to experience crazy. But you don't want to spend all your powder for the first month of the year right? Oh yeah. There is a light set that I did that season. Yeah definitely definitely going to have to have the mental stability to handle all those weeks and all those practices. How much has Larry talked to you guys about like that? Last question right here. 2016, 2017, 2004 and the FFD 501s all in the same location. How much does he talk to that guy? I mean he doesn't have to talk about it. We know about it. We've seen it every day. We watch the film. We see them all working together. We know what it could be. We know we could become. So we know we're right at the same, we're at the right place at the right time and God wanted us to be here and he knew we wanted us all to come together and kind of play together. And kind of play together and be able to bounce off and just perfect our craft together. And I feel like we all are just great individuals and we come together at something special. Great. Doing it?

1:12:37What are the deliberations? I'm surprised it's even a conversation. Like it should always be live. Let's tell you. Tell you. Tell you play football. So obviously there's a proximity to the season which is a little reckless, I understand that. But in spring, when you're competing for jobs, I mean if I'm a quarterback, I'm messing to be live so I can show him how I'm different than, you know, anyone that can't be live. You know what I mean? You're always trying to find an edge. And if you're never fully alive, I don't think you fully give guys opportunity to be who they want to be or who they can be. So that being said, you know, I will cast my vote, but that will not be my final decision on that. But I will cast my vote. I think I can handle it well. It was good for all parties involved. And more we can do that, the better, but I'm sure that is coming to a close here very quickly. So. And Murphy, twenty percent. Right. Jeremiah off the field. We saw after practice on this Saturday that the mob that came to get autographs and things.

1:13:40When you're working with him on all these things you're talking about, but also dealing with the life of being one of the biggest names in college. Football. How do you help mentor him in that aspect? Yeah, I mean, it's a blessing to be able to be in a position where, you know, can provide insight or. I wouldn't say recommendations, but just give perspective. What he chooses to receive the first perspective or not one and not mean he always does, but which is fine. But to be in that position is really humbling. That being said, he does a really good job on his own. He doesn't need to check the one too much. He's really done a great job. Again, the way he was raised in his morals and. Humble would always sign and taking pictures. I'm always trying to be the bad guy for him because he's not going to be. And just says again more about his character. But he's not the only guy any guy would kind of do that. We have a group full of awesome young guys, but Jeremiah has done a great job with it. He's handling it at a high level, but those around him were trying to help him out a little bit.

1:14:44What made Queen Seed the first freshman to do this black striker machine? Uh, yeah, I mean, that's a good question. I think that. I think that he's a good guy. And I think that he's a good guy. I think that he's a good guy. Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. I think that, uh, you know, frankly, you know, I don't, I'm not really fully involved with that. So that can be, but I wasn't. You know, I think that people on the outside, whether it be defense or even coach day or anybody brought it to my attention, you know, we're kind of just going about practice. And that's our expectation to make plays, not make mistakes. And he was starting to make a lot of, a lot of plays consistently. And I think the consistent level that he's been as a person, uh, being on, being on time and doing what his job description on each play and the ball is coming your way and making some big plays. And, uh, you know, it starts, it starts being seen by your peers and your peers started asking for it.

1:15:47They start barking, getting a stripe off all those kind of things. That's the ultimate sign of respect. I think when your peers, you know, go to your bat and he's not going for his bat. No one, uh, people are bringing it to your position coach. I think it speaks volumes of the, uh, the general respect that you're earning, uh, through the process. So I think something like that happened. And, uh, you know, as well as their based on his peers and the other coaches. Step on creation. Cleveland.com. Ryan Day was talking about how impressed he's been this spring with Austin Sarovale. All that he's been able to do and Tyler Bohn was talking last week about the importance of the cross-training and all that that goes into that. How much have you seen Austin benefit from this spring and everywhere that he's been and how big of a piece do you think he's going to be regardless of where he fits on this offensive line? Yeah, I think Austin's been awesome. I mean, he literally, you know, what was he saying? He played every spot, every position, which is moving around, you know, and, uh, he handles it. And, you know, he's one of those guys that feel like you watch film over and over again day after day.

1:16:47His name never really gets brought up, you know, in a good way. And then when you're in the old line, your name gets brought up when, uh, usually not going as well, you know, I mean, they're literally at the point of attack on every single play. So there's nowhere to hide. And so, uh, but Austin, when his name gets brought up and say, man, that was a good job. Very good job. Pass off that combo. Whatever it's always positive. And, uh, they really impressed with him. He started in the winter. Did a great job through the winter. Again, continue to build a respect for his peers. And then he's going to a good job. Really good job just being a very consistent two spring. Are we left, Jeff Gilbert, Chris Broce? Brian, since you've been working more with the whole offense, when it comes to quarterback play, what has grown in your, I don't know, appreciation in that position and what those guys have to do and go through? What do you think more about those guys versus maybe what you thought before is just a wide receiver guy? Yeah, I mean, I mean, there's no just a wide receiver guy. If you are just wide receiver guy, you won't be a very later on. It's all about quarterback play, you know, so I think in that same world, though, to the point is that, you know, in order to be a great receiver or receiver guy, whatever you want to call it, uh, there's only one page is the quarterbacks page.

1:18:00So everything is based off them. There, whether it be their progression, their timing, the stresses they have is what we're trying to minimize. So, uh, if you don't fully understand the quarterback play, it's hard to, you know, maximize receiver play. I think, you know, that being said, um, yeah, I mean, I'm still always learning, you know, I think that I can't say anything's jumped out massively right now. But I would say that, you know, I guess I would say that the preparation level, I mean, the what is required to execute and play at a high level, it's just not capable in the a lot of time. Right. I mean, there's only so much time where I'll be with players. If you're not willing to spend, you know, your own time, getting prepared for practice to be, uh, to maximize one's ability. There's a good chance you're not going to maximize your ability. So, you know, other positions, I mean, aligns same thing. I mean, receiver play sometimes can, can, you know, get away from it. We do a great job studying and being in the room extra for sure.

1:19:01But the requirement of a quarterback to know, uh, the fixed protections, uh, the BR run game coordinator based on the calls, you know, to get us in different checks. I mean, there's so much they need to know. And, uh, and frankly, uh, the, you know, the online is good as the quarterback. The receivers, lines goes the quarterback. They're often, so he's good as the quarterback. And it's our responsibility to put guys in position to maximize what they're capable of maximizing. But their inability, uh, to notice that they can just spend extra time outside the a lot of time. I think it's critical. And the amount that it takes, I guess that was maybe a little naive to, but, uh, the guys are doing a great job doing it. And time just a couple more coaches got a meeting, uh, Rob, our Columbus dispatch Brian, you know, get reached the mount top. You got a banner out there national champs. I keep these guys grounded. Being in the moment, looking ahead, not back. Are you tougher on because no, I think that, I mean, I think we have a lot of guys. You know, I think it's understanding that we were trying to build the map to get to where you wanted to get to.

1:20:08But now that we have the map, doesn't mean we've traveled the path. So like we know what it looks like. The guys that are here know what it's supposed to look like. The guys before us, said unbelievable example of how to get to where you want to get to. Um, so the focus is on trying to replicate what they just did and how they operated. Can't say we've done that right now. So it's very easy to stay motivating because they already know it's not good enough. Frankly, and so the last thing they want to do is put in a ton of effort and then not reach their goals. So, uh, motivation, I don't think is needed. I think there is a catching up of those. Maybe aren't quite sure what it takes. You know, and, but overall, um, motivation is not what we've needed. Clearly, a message is definitely what we've been focused on. And I think the message is being received. So, uh, not concerned about, you know, motivation and, and the, uh, looking back, if you will, I think everyone's pretty, pretty focused on being forward and knowing we haven't accomplished anything. So, Steve, who would you say is the leader of your wide receiver? Right now.

1:21:13I would say, Colonel Tate, Brennan and his, uh, probably done the most, the most outspoken, you know, in the room. Uh, yeah, I would say they're doing a good job. Those are probably the two guys that would jump out of my room. Yep. I mean, because Brennan, he's been a vocal. Obviously. Car now taking on that role, more and being more vocal. He's a good footballer. Obviously, he's the only one that process for him and becoming a more vocal leader took for you to say that on him. What was the question? What do you think like the growth of it? Uh, yeah, I mean, he's, I think he's pulled guys aside, you know, had one-on-one conversations with him. Uh, he's locked in, uh, you know, just, I think he saw the impact that I'm eccomade in the role he played. And to think that you're gonna lose that and then be a better group, probably doesn't mathematically make sense to him. So someone's got to step up in that role and one, I don't know, respects him too. He knows he's capable of it. And it's just the desire and the appreciation, I think, to be at the order table now, the overhead and, uh, and appreciate the way I met, could probably win about his business.

1:22:20And so, um, he probably valued that, appreciated that. Uh, and he's just making sure we still have that. Final question. Better better than what's upon this discussion. Could you assess the running back room? Uh, I think it's pretty much assumed both as running backs to CJ and, uh, James, I think that tandem system is probably the way you got to go again. Um, how do you think it's working? And you see third and maybe fourth guys up in a mirror. I think that, you know, in college football, uh, NFL football, any football really, you got to have depth in the running back room. I think that, uh, it's very apparent in the NFL. It's usually a two back system, you know, very very rarely is it one guy. Uh, but in college, I think we saw the benefit of that last year. Uh, the ability to compliment each other is really important. And the ability for us to identify what they do great and put them in good positions to be what they are. Uh, what their best that I should say is really important as a coaching staff. I've been very impressed with, uh, even the younger guys Sam and, and, and a bow and the way they've come along, um, consistency.

1:23:22So what you're chasing, right? You're always able to. That's why you're here. But how often you do it ultimately dictates how much you play. So, but, uh, overall, I think locks been on them. They don't understand the standard and, and pass pro and, uh, not being a guy we got to sell out because you can't pass protect. So we were blessed, what, especially with tray last year and, and Quen Sean. So, um, but no, these guys have done a good job. They're competing. Uh, they've been very coachable. Uh, you know, it's very, it's shown a blog on film. Um, but, uh, yeah, I mean, it's always hard on backs. I mean, every opportunity you get to go live and, and break tackles really gives you the most feedback on what these guys are capable of. You're just playing tag out there. You never get any art. At least you shouldn't. Uh, but the running backs, um, you know, on contact days have done a good job. James has done a really good job growing, really excited about him. Everyone's really excited about him and CJ. Um, so, uh, you know, I think ultimately, you know, how group the, uh, how will, how good will the group be? It's probably based on, you know, the top, the bottom rising. Right?

1:24:26I mean, you're gonna have some guys at the top, but, you know, where's the floor? And so I think, uh, uh, Bow and Sam has done a really good job. And many, some more guys to get healthy. More guys on campus, but, uh, very encouraged. This is Dave Roberts. If you're heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, you're taking a risk.

You know, he's kind of of of those incoming freshmen who still should be in high school. He's a guy. I think you're going to point to and you can see right now. He's going to be a player. Over to the right Austin Ward, the podcast. A healthy Mitchell Melton. How does he fit in for your defense? What does he bring to it? Yeah, he's. You know, Mitch is that combination player, you know, in in our four down, you know, he's a guy that can do a lot of things.

1:27:54You know, drop fold in there and make plays. You see some of that all the time. Really athletic. You know, we're kind of loaded at that end position. So he's going to play there. But you know, like I said last year, we, we haven't needed it. But he's a guy you would point to along with CJ Hicks, you know, for the for the long season. You know, if you're going to play with the people get injured, you get a little light inside. It's always hard on the defensive tackles. But if you're going to play with three ends, you know, that's Mitch is a guy who definitely can do all that. He has that. Over to the left, Joey Kaufman, Columbus dispatch. Jim, you've talked about this before, but I think in past years where you're going up against a really talented receiver group offense to encourage your players to. So first half today where you the offense didn't get him the end zone until the late in the second half just. And you guys have guys down the second area. Just what did you think of that sort of trend and how it's evolved in the way you guys almost shut him out of the first.

1:29:00Yeah, I think it's become, you know, an expectation now. You know, our DB's, you know, our BIA, Best in America, we led the country in past defense. Right. I think there's 96 what I got here and it was number one last year. So they've taken that spirit. So it's a competitive spirit. It's an expectation now. It doesn't matter who we're going against. It's they view it as a standard. So that was good to see in the first first half. Over to the right Spencer Holbrook, Letterman Ro. Jim, we've talked about safety changing the way that you play defense in the Leo and the linebackers, but how much does having the depth that you guys have a defensive tackle change the way that you can do things defensively? Yeah, I mean, you're going to play to your strengths, you know, and that's that's my job is to what do we have and what do we do best? When you have defensive tackles, but I've said it before, it helped our defense so much last year when you have defensive tackles that actually make tackles, which is what we have right now.

1:30:11It changes the way you call a game, you know, it certainly helps you be in better shape on explosive plays on the back end. You don't have to do a whole lot to help those guys out because they're making tackles. So you got to go, you got to go with that, you know, you got to let those guys play and they're good. So you can't get too far away from the scheme of having those defensive tackles make place because they're doing it and it works. Over to the left, Tony Gurdman, Buckeye Huddle. Jim Ryan talked about the quarterback run being more of a thing with the offense here during the season. How much of when you're facing a team like that, how much does that impact your day to day throughout the week preparing for that? Yeah, it's a ton, you know, it I think it changes everything you do on defense. You see it everywhere from the NFL on down if you have a quarterback who can make plays with his feet, your scheme better be designed that, you know, to take that away into account for it.

1:31:11So it changes the way you look at everything when you're game planning. Thank you, Donovan. Over here to the right. Tim May, the Tim May podcast. Yeah, Jim, you might be the interviewer when I asked Ryan about just for example Calvin Simpson Hunt, but the corner seemed to be playing almost with the chip owner shelter to a certain enemy. Davis and Nick, but no, and took the day personally. It looked like you know, to make us some of the height going into the game, but what do you see from that group in particular that? Who is you going into this off season? Yeah, when you can when you have corners that you can count on again, it's just like having defensive tackles in the run game when you have corners you can count on that are going to compete all the time no matter what the situation is. And we've developed that again, it changes the way you call the entire game. I mean, you you're able to leave those guys on an island. You're able to switch up converges and they know what they're doing and they take great pride in it. So having those guys out there in the development.

1:32:14It's a big deal. It really is. And it's not just the picture of the board. I just came in late back here. Yeah, I mean, he's he did come in late and you know, he compete. He's one of those guys that just competes every day doesn't say much. You know, he's trying to live up to the standard of the other guys and you see him coming along. You know, you see him step by step coming along and you know, put him in a, you know, competitive atmosphere. You know, you see him step up. That's a great sign. And final question for coach Noel is Dan Hope 11 Warriors. You mentioned CJ Hicks a few minutes ago. Have you seen him take the strides you need to see the spring to trust him as a guy who could be a potential starter on his defense? Yes, I mean, I think CJ has shown that he has talent. And I think it's my job to put him in the best situations for him because he can be a force.

1:33:14You know, he's much better when he's bloodsing or he's directed because he's able to use his athletic ability. But he has certainly shown that he's going to be able to help this defense coach. Thank you very much for your time. All right. And we will bring offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Chip Kelly to the podium now. We'll open up the questions over to the left bill Rebenowitz Columbus dispatch. Chip, what are your general impressions of the offense coming out of spring, especially quarterback?

1:35:19CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. Those are my notes. That's CalShe in their own CEOs words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. We'll look at all 15. So I think you know this day is is a big part of it. You know, because it was the first time they were going to play. Some of those guys ever got to play in front of a crowd. And that was an amazing crowd. You know, 80,000 first spring game. You could see some of the young guys kind of looking around like, wow, this is different than the indoor. But that's what they have to get ready to play it. So we got better from practice one to practice 15. You know, it's still an evaluation through the whole process. But it's not something in the players though, too, that we're not making a decision walking off the field today saying, hey, this is the direction that we're going in.

1:36:24We'll be very authentic and look through everything and make sure that we get a really good feel for what it all looks like. And then who will best move this offense? That's what our decision is going to do. I do. I think we got a lot of guys there. That parts tough. I think because you got it. There's guys that deserve reps, you know, and they're all competing for it. So, you know, sometimes you'd like to be sometimes when you had a guy who was an initial starter, well, he's going to get the boat to the reps. He got him better, but they capitalize on it. We really rolled him. You know, if you were at some of our spring practices, you're watching all those guys rotate and rotate out. And as we talk about all the time, you know, the old adage is don't count your reps, make your reps count. You know, and we'll put it all together and really come up with, you know, which guy do we really feel is going to help us move this offensively. Over to the far right, Bill Landis, the podcast, Kings of the North. Hey, Chip, you said when we first talked to you that the basis of a lot of your success running the football just kind of figuring out what your guys do best and then leading into that over 15 practices now. How good of a field do you think you have for that? And then what are the next few months look like as you try to piece that all together?

1:37:27Really good question. It's interesting because the one thing that I think sometimes makes tough and an evaluation is what a good front we want to get. You know, so for 15 practices, those guys on the other side of the ball were pain. You know, Jack and JT and Ty Lee can those guys, but I know come fall. There's not going to be anybody more happy that we have those guys on the defensive side of the ball because of what they can do. So I still think we'll have to really evaluate that what we're going to what we're not what we got to get better on what we got to work on. But I think the work we got against such a quality defense was was really key for us. Over to the far left, Nathan Baird Cleveland dot com. So here we go at this time. It came out of the spring with still a lot of question marks about the offensive line. And even I guess that last season came out with question marks. How have you seen that progress in the time that you've been here and what's your confidence level that that offensive line is going to allow this offense to do everything it wants to do this fall. Yeah, I mean, I've been here short amount of time. So I didn't know.

1:38:29I really don't have anything to compare to. So I kind of tabula rassa come in with a blank slate and just observe it. I think we're really athletic. I think Donnie and Seth and those guys inside are really smart and really intelligent. They allow you to to be able to make adjustments in game. Just tucking football with some of those guys. It's like, well, these guys are wired the right way. And a lot of those guys have played a lot of football. So they can bank on their experience. I think we we've got about four guys that have played significant amount of snaps and we've got to make sure we can find out who the fifth guy is. But that's similar to where the quarterback spot is. I think I also think of the offensive line. You're not going to play a 16-17 game season and just play with five guys. You really have to develop your depth there. There's going to be a number two center that's going to play a lot of football. There's going to be a number two guard, whether it's on either side of the ball. There's going to be a third tackle. I think you're going to get tested, especially with this new in this new playoff format. You really have to think that way. So you're not looking for five starters. You're really looking for 10 starters because you're going to have to. You're going to have to probably play 10 guys to get when you get through a 16-17 game season.

1:39:31Over to the right Austin Ward, the podcast. I think it was the first play of the game, the T formation and then the reverse spin move with Will Howard. What's the inspiration for that package and that sort of wrinkle with the quarterback? Mr. Hayes. There's a looming figure around this whole program. We get to go to work every day in the Woody Hayes Athletics Center. It was good enough for Woody. We're going to stay with him. We're going to do it. We ran some last year. I think we took 21 snaps at UCLA and T got a short yardage formation for us and we've done some different things with it. I also think our players had a lot of fun practicing that and doing some different things. It's a small part of our offense. We will not be in the T 21 times in one game. We may get in some short yardage situations. I think it's come back. There's a lot of schools right now that are starting to do that. It's really just you're trying to have a yard to get. You're trying to get your big guys in the game. I think we use three tight ends and two running backs in our formation today with Pecker and the fullback in that situation.

1:40:38There's a lot of different things you can do in short yardage but a little bit of a tribute to Coach Hayes and what he means to this program. Joey Kaufman, Columbus Dispatch, over to the left. Chip, did you look back? You've been here two months, 15 spring practices. Is there something you feel best about what you've been able to accomplish with this offense? Well, I haven't accomplished anything because I didn't take a snap. I think the most impressive thing since I've been here is how close this football team is. Some programs talk about a brotherhood. This is really a brotherhood. Our practices, as we talked about, how good our defense is. They're highly competitive but they're not combative. Those guys really work very well together, both the whole line and the D line, the secondary and the receivers. The competition is going to be the best there is in the country. That makes you better. But I think sometimes competition guys can lash out and get really combative and then all of a sudden the fight breaks out and the fight breaks out. We're trying to accomplish and get footballed on them. But I think the way these guys cooperate and work together as a group is a special bond.

1:41:39I think you're going to need the closest team and the most connected teams on the ones that win. Over to the right here. Andy Baxter, Letterman Rolk. Chip, obviously there's been a lot of talk about Jeremiah but Amecha is the big return in this group. He kind of reminded everyone what he can do today. What's it been like working with him and what kind of weapon can he be for you guys? Good point. And Amecha has reminded me and the other 14 practice sessions of what he can do. Special player. And JJ is a really talented player also. But I think all of the whole group, a Cornell tape, did some really good things watching him this spring. And for all of them, I mentioned it with the offensive line. I came in with a blank slate and I had no opinions formed. Not that really just wide eyeed and just observed them. But I think that wide receiver is really special. And I think there's a bunch of guys in there. And again, when you have to play multiple games after the regular season is over, you're going to make sure you're going to need depth like that. And the fact that you feel a little bit comfortable right now, that we got some guys there that can make some plays on the perimeter.

1:42:40And that really dictates how people are going to defend you. You got a couple of really good running backs. You know, so are they going to load the box? Are you really going to load the box and leave those guys in one on one coverage? Well, then it's the quarterbacks responsibility to decipher that and get the ball of those guys. So, or do they at least a double coverage? They list a double coverage and now it's a little bit lighter box and you can run the ball. This is Dave Roberts. If you're heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, you're taking a risk. Most people don't think about until it's too late. Summer colds linger and can turn into sinus infections at last for weeks. Getting sick right before vacation can derail everything. And we are traveling, finding a doctor and pharmacy is stressful.

Chip, we've talked a lot about the quarterbacks maybe vying for the starting spot. But some of the younger guys, what have you seen from them? We got an opportunity to see more of them today than we probably have. What's your assessment of them as they get into this? I always am so impressed with young guys that enroll early in watching how they get acclimated and what they do. When you look at Julian and Air and JJ, they should be in the hot lunch line of their high school. And they're out here playing in front of 80,000 people. And they've really progressed when you watch them in meetings and listen to them. And they interpret.

1:45:49Basically the whole concept here is we throw them in the deep end and see if they can swim. You know, this we didn't baby anything. We don't put the install in with, hey you guys are in install. We're in install this with the older players. And then you guys, you know, go sit at the kitty table and we're just going to do the really simple things with you. They get it all. And the more they can digest, the more when you're in a room, when you're checking for understanding and asking questions. And they can spit back to you the more confidence you have when they get in there with the plays that you can call for them. So those guys have been impressive. They're still learning, you know, they were the guys today that were kind of looking around and saying, while there's like 80,000 people here, along with the offensive coordinator and the quarterback coach, because I was kind of looking around because I had actually never been in the stadium until yesterday when we had our 14th practice in there. So I played Ohio State once when I was at Oregon, but that was in the Rose Bulls. I had never been actually in the stadium until yesterday. I caught myself when I went into the stadium today looking around saying, 80,000 for a spring game. That's impressive.

1:46:50Got time for just a few more folks over here to the right Dylan Davis. Delaware Gazette. Given what you just said about throwing them into the deep end, what stood out the most about Julian's progression through 15 practices and where he is as you guys head out of spring? Julian is a very fast processor. You know, he really thinks very, very quickly on his feet. He makes really quick decisions. He doesn't stick on and read. He can progress in any ceasing really well for a young player. You know, in not having been exposed to a lot of college defenses, and especially what Jim does. You know, Jim can make a young freshman quarterback cry with some of the stuff he does. But, you know, I never saw that with Jules. And I, that's been impressive his ability to retain him and JJ. The compliment I would say to him is if you got here and you didn't know what class they were in, you wouldn't say that those guys were freshmen in terms of how they picked things up. And sometimes freshmen, act like freshmen.

1:47:51But the guys who are special, they don't act like freshmen. They act like football players. And those are two guys that are, are examples of that. Far left, Cameron T. Robinson, the athletic. On the topic of freshmen, James Peebles and Sam got on the run the second half. You talk about how deep you need to be in this era of college football. But as you search for RB3, what did you see from them today and what has their growth been like in this spring? Yeah, James really flashed early for me, not knowing again. It's just a, don't worry about what the background is, where they're from, who they are. The this guy of this stars, that's guy of that stars. They're all bakai, some of this is how they do it. I think James is a really good field and vision. He can hit things. I thought Sam did some really good things today. T.C. is another guy who really came along during the spring. And we're constantly talking in our staff meetings about depth. We're very cognizant of the fact that the playoff situation has changed. So you have to develop that depth. You know, used to be maybe have a pair and a spare.

1:48:52It was what everybody says, but I think you may have to have more than that. You know, you're talking about 16, 17 games. You're really going to be tested that way. So I was really happy with how those young guys have come along here in the 15 training sessions that we've had. Oh, over here to the right. Tim May, the Tim May podcast. Thank you, Jerry. You have your own podcast. Yeah. Like these guys all had like a name next to their. Yeah. Your name. Okay. That's pretty cool. You must have some juice if you got your name in your podcast. Definitely. Okay. By the way, it's not just the lunch last, the hot lunch last, while it's hot lunch. It's a hot lunch. Yeah. Just too quick. He's number one. Do you feel compelled to let these quarterbacks know where they stand? Yeah. You know, it's coming up Tuesday. You know, to me, they're. Yeah. You know, where does that go? I mean, in your mind. Yeah, we're all sit down as a staff and visit meet on it. And then Ryan, maybe he does an unbelievable job of, I think, all our players understand where they fit. And what the picture is. And we'll give them our assessment. This isn't, you know, we're not going to come back.

1:49:52But we do it after every day. They know where they stood after practice. One after two, after three, after four. We grade everything. They're getting constant feedback in terms of where we are. And then after 15, which we had today. But we can't do it unless you watch the film and can really look at the. The things because you may see something, but you're on the sideline. You know, why did he make that decision? Well, I couldn't really see the field safety from where he was. Okay, now I understand why you made that decision. So, you know, what they'll, what meetings with all our players. And that's, that's always been the method. So this week during, you know, between Monday through Friday. We're all scheduled. No one's going on the road. We're recruiting until after that. But we're all a player meeting. He's in every position. You know, offensive line, defensive line. Linebacker safety is everybody. Everybody's going to sit down with their position coaches. And know where they fit. And we see them. But do you feel a pressure with the, with the transfer portal looming? I mean, you know, you've been a head coach for a long time. I mean, is that on your mind at TSD? Yeah, I think we'll work together. We're aware of it. And I'm 100%. And I don't think it's pressure.

1:50:52But I think you just open lines of communication. And everybody knows, you know, which, what your evaluation was through the training sessions that we have. Guys, we've got to have, we've got real quick. Last two questions. Dan Hope and then Rob Aller. I feel like you need to have a starting quarterback named by. And whatever the biggest things you're going to be looking for between now and then and determining who that guy's going to be. Well, between now and, and whatever then is, we're not allowed as coaches to go back out and practice with them, you know, and in college football, you get 15 training sessions in the, in the off season. And then they'll go back to work and with Mick in the, in the weight room and getting bigger, getting faster, getting stronger. They'll have organized activities themselves. And they, they do a really good job of that. But once there's a football out, like, we're not allowed to be there to evaluate and even assess. So they're really, from a football standpoint, on their own until August. So you always want to do it earlier. But I also believe every time I've, I've been involved in this, is that it kind of happens organically and authentically.

1:51:54You know, because the players know. And if you say, hey, we decided we're going to be with Joe. And they all think it's Tim, you know, they know. They're in the locker room with them every day. Players, players understand, you know, who they'd feel is the guy. And most of the time it, it, it, it, it. CalShe's own CEO says it himself.

I don't, I can't give you an exact timetable on that. So Rob, Chip, you talked about Julian.

1:53:58But typically in your experience, you've done it again, like Tim said a long time. How long does it take for the game to slow down for a young QB? I think it depends on the individual. You know, I've had some kids where early, you know, you were like, wow. Marcus Murray-Ode was like that. Remember vividly, second practice. And he got to the fifth read in the progression and threw it out here in this big game. And I asked him why I do it all. I asked why, because I just want to understand it. And I said, why did you do that? And he goes, I don't know what we call that defense. But there was like a lot of guys over there. And they didn't seem like there was anybody over there. But for him to process at that fight, he was right. And he came back the other day. And that was cover 60 other day coach. I learned what you guys call the coverages. But it all happens differently. I've got guys that for two years seem like they're just, you know, they're really struggling. And then the light bulb goes off and you know, whoa. That's how I feel. I've never got it. So everybody has different learning styles. You know, our job in the evaluation process is to identify those learning styles.

1:55:02So they cognitive learn. Are they an auditory learner? Do they learn by field? Is it more a field guy? You know, a more film guy. You know, it's all different. And I think we have to keep poking and prodding. And for us as coaches that's the challenge too, is what is their best learning style? And how can we convey it? Because education basically is just a transportation knowledge. But it really doesn't matter what I know or what Ryan knows it matters what they know so That's that's always kind of what we're working on and studying and thinking about and kind of where we are and How much can they handle and then how much is too much, you know because this may be a great play? I agree 100% but if you don't feel it's a good play Then why is it in you know I mean and that's that's this whole feeling up process that we're all they're learning us and we're learning them This is have identities so to coach is really running quarterbacks That's something you've always sort of lean toward or is it year by year case by case? What advantages do you like about because all your guys can run a little bit?

1:56:05Yeah, I think a running quarterback causes problems for defense So when when plays break down the unscheduled plays, you know if you just go back to the recent Super Bowl on that last drive The two big plays were my home's run But patch of my home is not a runner Andy's not calling design quarterback runs for Pat But when the defense matches up and plays two men and turns their back to the quarterback Well, maybe the best decision is to take off you know the second one he took out. I'm like he may score You know a lot of guys go and they want a hook side You know and and and there's times where you have to understand if you do have a running quarterback We talk about the best of the best ability is availability, you know You're not lowering your shoulder and taking people on but we are always looking for quarterbacks that have the ability to run We're not looking for running backs that can throw, you know, so you're not gonna see us 20 times a game we're running the quarterback and there are people that run it offensive styles and are really successful with it But with this group we have right now that's not now they can hurt you with the feet We'll did it when he was at case date, you know Obviously Devin took off a couple times today air took off a couple times today Lincoln's a really really good athlete

1:57:10Julian can run but you know we're not calling design quarterback runs, you know, you're not gonna see You know a tremendous reminder respect for co-chays and the legacy that he left here This straight T is about as far as we go. We are not going single wing So we are not gonna snap it and run quarterback ice on quarterback power So But it is a it's another weapon, you know And if it also keeps defense is honest, you know if your defense event is gonna continue to bend From the quarterback pleasant he's on the edge and he's gaining first downs Well then the defensive and has to stay outside and contain the quarterback Well then we can run the ball up and and hand the ball off sometimes in our running game our quarterback really is a blocker He's responsible for a defender if the defender was cheating and fitting in on the run Well then his responsibility is to make make the defense be honest and and that's really air did that a couple Thanks today, and we had a block the safety was sticking his face in there So we took off around the edge what happens in next play the defense is wider than what we get to do We got a chance to hand the ball off to the running man great coach Thank you so much for your time and thank you for being a buck. I

1:58:10Thanks, it was definitely addressed here, you know this preseason I think Austin Sarah they'll stepped up in a big way, you know with Donnie being out And and then you know you know Carson can play both guard and center, which is good And you know we've actually you know Sen has done a nice job as well But it was good to see Austin you know he moved from guard to tackle a couple times and even with the ones He was in their battling his tail off so I Think we have built some depth there, but again, you know we got to go play some games and see what Yeah, you know again whether it's whatever happened last year's last year But I know that the message to our to our offensive line is we want to play one of the hardest playing offense line in the country Now we got to play with technique But at the end of the play like knock the line of scrimmage back and play with your hair on fire It's hard as you possibly can There's a lot to go with the playing in the offensive line. It's all the communication There's a lot of things that have to get into place. I think Seth has done a nice job of communicating

1:59:11He understands the offense better now he takes control up front and brings everybody together Well, which is great, but but to me like that's it now we could list a bunch of other things But to me we've got to move the line of scrimmage We've got to be just playing with our hair on fire and knocking people back and playing physical And that's the start the game that's the end the game Maybe not for a line you see that definitely and how do you get over that No, no, I don't see it that way at all. I think um You know, we'll see what what we got this year, but I feel like you know, we've got some really good young players in the system I think that um, you know, we should have the best offensive land in the country. That's that's the standard here Has been for a long time and um, you know, and so you know, we'll keep pushing towards that this year and You know, I think you know, everybody in that room will tie the same thing uh, Tony Gherkin Yep, so uh, sunny has really stepped up and played well. He's made this transition from safety to linebacker

2:00:19Very well. I think he did a nice job in the spring, but you could definitely see as he went into the the summer It's just you know bigger stronger Being more comfortable closer to line of scrimmage. It's different when you're when you're closer to line of scrimmage Is doing a better job getting his you know hands on on You know on offense alignment and getting off of blocks. He's in a better job doing a better job with his hands I think he understands the communication The linebackers always have to be involved with the front make it be involved and fitted it back in he's doing that You know, I think he sees you know looking forward to play Playing in a game and you know getting an idea of what it all looks like But I can tell you in practice. He's playing fast. He's playing violent and I think he's you know He does a nice job of taking the meeting to the field being very intentional about his work, but playing really hard Yeah, I haven't talked to Jim because you know we'll make that final decision here over the weekend But he's certainly the leader in the clubhouse Can you tell Ryan? I mean Seth McLaughlin. Can tell he's been there done that is he as he projected that

2:01:23To the offensive line you're still when I'm saying from a leadership stand for a grown man Yes, how does that just come up? How does it show up? Uh, a bunch of ways it just poise it's Not getting rattled when you know coach barks at you. It's you know, okay. I got this. Let me get it on the control It's seeing something in practice and being able to adjust on the move. It's Being prepared when you walk on the field it's Recognizing how hard you have to play at the position. It's You know kind of all of those things into one But he's got great communication up front. He talks to the guys He's moving quickly in there and when you have experience like he has, you know, the game seems to slow down at times yet You know, he seems to be playing it at a fast lover I spent so over

2:02:24And there was a point where you got a black stripe off and I feel like he took a step In the right direction when you come in the summer it is very difficult to get on the field especially early in the season Whether he does or not. I will see But if he continues to practice the way that he's been practicing then he'll give himself a chance to be in the rotation midway through the season Or later in the season which is similar to some of the wide receivers we've had before you know You've seen some of those guys get some reps really in the season but then make an impact later in the season I think that's probably more His path right now now you know shows up and starts doing great and you know, well You know, we'll give him the reps he deserves Or like Jeremiah is in a different situation because he came in here in January and he was able to head Anybody comes in in January to me. I don't look at them as a freshman anymore They've been here. They're in the program and we expect them to contribute

2:03:34Just about your career Um, I'm still in there um right there Um talking and communicating but um in the scrimmages we've had it's you know It's it's been offense versus defense So I've mostly been on the offensive side still kind of going through all those types of things And there's a lot to work through this year just with you know the play clock and then Uh, it's one of me by that is you know the close play communication inside of 15 goes off Just there's a lot of things that go on there. We don't really get notification on that So I'm trying to you know just help chip with that and some some communication that way personnel But I'm very much involved with special teams. I think with a two minute warning There's some strategic things that are gonna go on again and again that you know, you gotta really be involved with But to your point just overall just looking guys in the eye making sure that you know They got the right looking their eye to you know that you know, they they understand Um, you know with the situation what's going on in the game, you know I think that happens sometimes with young players, you know, they're just like playing the next play

2:04:36You know, and that's not just how that's not how it works And we'll get to win the situations and so you know all those things will come into play and making in game adjustments You know be involved with on all three phases, you know watching you know the game and a tablet to try to identify what happened in the last series I think all those things will be happening Right now, Nick is gonna be the starter And you know that that competition will go into next week, but Right now as we head into the weekend he is the starter And the plan is for him to be the first punner to go up and go on Saturday and tacker Hey, he's got a strong leg. He's he's made it um a good transition into Country but also just playing you know football Um and not Australian moves for ball, which is very very different um The um you know snap to kick is really improved, you know, that was one thing as he's a taller guy

2:05:37So the ball has to get out of his you know, get off his foot faster. I think he's done that His hang time has been good And he's been more consistent You'll see you know, he'll he'll kick a few that'll just go right out of the stadium They just got a strong strong leg So we're looking for that consistency. He's he's showing that here most recently So he's got the upper hand right now Ryan um, I don't know if it's because Will maybe took a little bit longer to make a decision in December than some of the other Top of the line quarterback you answered he did or because maybe there was a thought he wasn't gonna be the starter It can't stay this year But it seems like people have viewed him kind of as a game manager type of quarterback After eight months with him Where do you see his ceiling or what what is Will's special trait to you and where do you see him taking himself? I see You know a bunch of trades there. I think the first trade is size There's big he can stand in the pocket and he's strong Um, so I mean that that's the first thing you notice about him again Whether it's standing in the pocket with poise. I think that's another trait that he has that's excellent

2:06:41He he feels the rush Um, but he stands right in there I think the next trade is just you know his top end speed And he can run 22 miles an hour at that size which Uh, there's not a lot of guys who can do that. So I think that's an extraordinary trade And I would I would say his overall leadership command and the huddle is is another You know, it's something that he's he's really you know grown into in the last few months when he's been here And then his accuracy he's been very accurate since he's been here Um, and when he knows what's going on and he can anticipate what's happening I mean it looks right just feel it And and he can hurt you you know a bunch of different ways so um, you know His ceiling that that's that's gonna be kind of you know up to how he plays this season but um You know, I see a player who has a lot of great skills that you know translates well to the next level. So you know, we'll see but I know his first focus is on winning games around here

I mean you have nerves naturally So that's first complaint I was good. I was rolling Also, there's a weird meme I was trying to put it on the table. It was also in the first start Yeah You Yeah, it's but like I prepared well And camp and practice all week and I was I was ready

2:09:44Yeah, I have two multi-year starters It did a lot. I mean I couldn't ask them. Hey, what we got here, but I mean, I was prepared well. I mean I was telling Jimmy and said it's like I would Why are you talking about I'll be emotional excited. What's it just because a guy from Ohio? What does it mean? I started the game. Um, it was always my dream to come here and play and start and Having that like me as you're like keep going keep building those days and those games and keep building Like what a much younger Austin No, not I don't think Even I told like me I asked my younger self Even committing and I wouldn't believe that now having a couple of starts Awesome has this happened Faster than you I guess you're technically a sophomore No, I knew that year two. I was gonna see you some playing time

2:10:47Now starting week one year two. I didn't see that but like I was ready In spring ball like a new I was one I was gonna play some stuff But What does it mean to you to it's not only get the opportunities to play but Like you play well enough now I guess it shows like my preparation my hard work and just everything I put into this and I just finally show it up on field There a moment Yeah, uh, the definitely was in training camp I mean blocking highly can tie every day Like he feels he feels a lot of confidence and doing it well and not like getting Ball or anything Was Hero in Jason Moore and Taiwan all those guys me pretty much anyone on the deepened line

2:11:51And came back as well. So yeah He helped me a lot and I'm proud that he's our starting center not someone else's but um I mean, he's like the captain of the line. He's another voice on the line With guys like Josh Fryer and Josh Simmons dining Tiger. That means another voice and another captain Yeah, like he can tell you like before to play what's going on and like how to block someone like we need to do and like That's a lot It makes us more calm like especially me and pay those are first stars. So like we were up here What what said like he brought us down and we were like fine like our emotions weren't high we settle in

2:12:58Is that like something he tells you? Is that something you pick up on by how he's acting? How do you kind of sense what he's trying to say about how he's acting and what Mean him when we're on the side of him both Josh Donnie like he was telling us like a cool like we got it It's pretty much like oh everyone old cool group As a first time starter how much of the end that mean a lot And that was my first time ever using high pets. We didn't use the iPads in high school, but I mean you can say like try to remember the defense He's coming on silent bring up look like Probably the first or second back after the I thought we say oh Awesome. Thank you very much That's um, I want to say Maybe I don't know, but I mean when I when I'm pretty sure you got the job I was really excited because I'm one of those guys is the tempo I can run with the tempo you know

2:14:01I mean I'm I'm playing basketball all life in set of football and I feel like Just the fast pace often so we're running really fits the guys we have right now. I'm really excited for that I know you can throw a football x65 guys, but can you kick a football 75 years ago? I probably question Lincoln what was your question? How is your Your roommate He's a blessing man. I can't complain. He's a great guy. What's his name's Lincoln? Keen hoes Oh I think we're both really clean. That's why we kind of picked each other's roommates because we're very clean and we don't like our burdens really Well, it's true though. It's the truth. They're both pretty clean Luke are you still a frost training at Tagel some or if you just been all guard this spring? Oh so far I've been all guard. I really don't know like I said I'm taking it practice I practice I could end up being back at Tagel I could not but No, I'm just really focused in on this past practice and the next one

2:15:05Yeah, that mean a lot you know you put a lot of work in to play here And it's been a dream just for being an Ohio kid and I'm from a Ohio kids perspective It's I mean that's the biggest wish possible out as I would say that's it'll be pretty cool What was it like just last year first game getting on the field for the first time? It didn't like this is gonna be a weird answer But it feel like I was playing a game you know if that makes sense like it. I was pretty locked in I felt like just no anxiousness no stress no nothing really I just went in that first game was like Shoot on here now it's time to roll you know It didn't really hit me. I was like it didn't even hit me after but my mom was like Would you feel there and if like getting out there at Indiana? I just like honestly, I don't know I felt less nervous that I didn't high school and that makes no sense You're curious about it How do I look? What is it? What did you see that I was just A lot I mean I'm learning from Josh and Austin I think prior to one of my biggest role models here is my bigger big brother when I first came in So I'm up to deal? No I'm not I'm not going to do it okay Yeah no

2:16:06Yeah yeah So yeah for the Austin those are my guys man I mean even miles to I mean all three of them That's those are my roommates and they're progressing every day as well And I'm I'm excited to see where they where they can get to I'm excited to plan and feel with them Oh yeah you know it's been really helpful You know just keep in my mind just settled and straightforward on the next play It's a great question um like I said I mean I just need to stay consistent in my work. I think that's the biggest thing for me is just ain't consistent I'm worried about the next play It's hand plus your address Did it beat off each other? Absolutely I mean when you see defensive And you see defensive start arguing with each other and things like that I mean nothing Makes it a lot easier you know Have those 10-11 play drops

2:17:08I mean It feels good to rip off these runs because I mean we put them so much You know seeing uh Seeing a product Tech reserve since that uh just offensive line wise is y'all prepared this week The John Hope first time really this season You know it's not Pre-picking Austin it's just more of down with Jackson pre-season all-American etc. I don't mean joining the group you know Donovan Jackson is a very good football player in there When he's on the field he makes his presence up I mean we love to train in I know there's no margin so It's him we know it can be Uh, yeah, I mean we put in the work during practice we practice really hard coach day really challenge us to practice hard Positions coaches really

2:18:09Challenge us to practice hard It's rolling like that what's it do like being in the mix of that being a long time? It's us it's When you work hard for something and you're able to see like What comes out of it like that's there's no better feeling in there No, I mean I was really funny to see You Take a what is Seth been off from brought to you guys for the first two games? What's it been like play next end for the last two he's You know he's really Calm and storm like you never see real panic and having a guy like that next season. You know you're having really Play it as many meaningful snaps We do There's no one outside rather absent my left and some are right, you know for and Seth

2:19:13Those guys they do so much People talk about his intelligence really kind of showing up in the film room and on the field Where have you noticed that intelligence and how has that helped you? Oh, yeah, like I said and crunch time, you know when When things aren't exactly looking like how we practice it, you know Having a guy like that Will do this this and then we execute having a guy like that like this. There's none better than that You wrote What's my favorite cape Relevant Oh, no I almost came back with a couple of sun to go some more Take a look at it Marshall

2:20:17Big 10 Yeah, those those guys there they're real players You can sell their coach well you can sell They go hard, you know, they're real players over there. We've been practicing to the best of our abilities You know, and I'm prepared for that They play they play good ball over there, you know their defense plays hard They they challenge teams, you know sometimes they might be overlooked and they still challenge teams And so they come out there with the mentality like no matter who's in front of the I mean the actions right there right in front of you right now, which is kind of a good thing and kind of a bad thing

2:21:19Should shift off the rest, you know, hidden back in inside Yeah, I mean I hear from Paris every once in a while trying not to bother too much, but No, it's it's always it's always good to hear from guy like that guys like the one even Matt Jones returning back All right Then for this year to just I think But you know, we got to stay in stitch way

2:22:20Yeah, that's a great question. I mean I feel like these two can answer that for the beer right now Let it He's done like a coach man About maybe like the idea of tackle versus jargon because obviously his offense of predilection is for like yeah

2:23:23That's um, I want to say Maybe I don't know, but I mean when I'm pretty sure you got the job I was really excited because I'm one of those guys who's the tempo I can run with the tempo, you know I mean, I'm I've been playing basketball all life and set up football and I feel like Just the fast pace often so we're running really fits the guys we have right now. I'm really excited I know you can throw a football like 65 guys, but can you kick a football 75 yards like Lincoln? I actually question Lincoln. What was your question? How is your Your roommate He's a blessing man. I can't complain. He's a great guy. What's his name's linking keen hoes Oh Who's cleaner? I think we're both really clean That's why we kind of picked each other's roommates because we're very clean and we don't like our rooms really messy Well, it's true though. It's true. They're both pretty clean Luke are you still cross-training at tackle some or if you just been all guard this spring? Oh so far. I've been all guard

2:24:24I really don't know like I said I'm taking it practice. I practice I could end up being back attack But now I'm just really focused in on this past practice and the next one Yeah, oh that mean a lot um, you know, you put a lot of work in to play here And it's been a dream just for being an Ohio kid and I'm from a Ohio kids perspective It's I mean, that's the biggest switch possible I would as I would say that's that'd be pretty cool First time It didn't like this is gonna be a weird answer, but it feel like I was playing a game yet if that makes sense I did I was pretty locked in I felt like just no anxiousness no stress no nothing Really, I just went in that first game was like Shoot out here now it's time to roll, you know It didn't really hit me. I was like it didn't even hit me after like my mom was like what'd you feel there? And if like getting out there at Indiana just like honestly, I don't know I felt less nervous that I didn't high school and that makes no sense

2:25:24Um a lot I mean I'm learning from Josh and Austin I think prior to it was one of my biggest role models here is my bigger big brother in my first game Tell me about Padilla. Oh my god, yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, Padilla and Austin those are my guys man I mean even miles to I mean all three of them. That's those are my roommates and they're progressing every day as well And I'm I'm excited to see where they where they can get to I'm excited to play on the field with them Oh, yeah, you know, it's been really helpful, you know, just keep in my mind just settled and straightforward on the next blood It's a great question um like I said, I mean The I just need to take consistent in my work I think that's the biggest thing for me is just ain't consistent and worry about the next blood to my game And I was I was like whoa I never had that happen like no other school Like just Ohio State Fair can't make it and I was like what I was crazy Do you like I mean? I'm quiet but also do you like that? Do you want everything that comes from me?

2:26:28I do but at the same time I don't just like to be a normal person But I don't really like to tell that to you I don't feel are you a showman? I mean I was just kind of like your art form Yeah, I mean yeah, I want to feel I'm a little bit more chip your little bit but sometimes I still be quiet on the field Competitive part of you where did that one did you notice that about yourself? Oh, I've been had that emissary. I was like eight nine years old Um, you have a mean just high-end house rate just to be competitive That's the reason why chose to come to Ohio State just to compete each and every day Just to go against the best DB group in the country Oh, yeah, for sure. I'm just going to get them two guys the best two DBs in the country I mean that's the reason I came here Um, just going to get God just go make me better each and every day Yeah

2:27:30I said I said I said what he said when he defends little boys said I'm here I said okay, I'm gonna be back and that's some be bad. They want to be the play I just don't just walk off. That's it. Yeah, I said I told you I'm coming back right I feel great just us three to be on the field together We're gonna make a lot of plays this year All I learned a lot especially from Cardinal because we both play outside So me just learning from him and you know the things he learned he just teaching me and you know He was behind Mar and stuff like that. So he just teaching me the game for sure Better than I said my footwork. That's the biggest thing Uh, me and coach hotline was looking at that's one thing I need to get better on so I mean I just worked on that in all seasons and just got better Over time When still my work at the end I mean just

2:28:31I really don't know I can't really answer that but it just it's just in me like I just want to work That's one thing. I think I say I get it from my dad My dad really the reason why I worked so hard because Since I was like eight years old he just wanted me to just work and be the best that what I do So I mean I really I said different like that Yeah, yes I wasn't I wasn't flippin out of I don't know why people made a scene like it was that I was a buckar and that's it How did your dad set me Oh, he said a big example on me me just I ain't go sales only just my dad it was me I have a cousin's name. You know it's maybe play for the Seattle Seahawks So I was I would look at the him as well. I mean seeing what he was doing I West Virginia would take on Austin and statement Bayley something he was a motivation for me And just all the guys that grew up before me and my regardless area uh, Broward area for sure. I mean just looking at the those guys guys like I say Brandon and for sure he was

2:29:34Class ahead of me so I seen the things he was doing in 8th grade and I was just like whoa I mean that's something I want to do I really don't I mean I know it's big Especies for me because you know no one playing the country coming in and all the hype around me So I mean I just try to block out all that stuff and just focus on the main thing just the team and I receive a room In the locker room and no just first game come if I don't Know see the as bestation that y'all have for me. I mean I don't really care. I just want to go out then when the game I mean I mean it's something great. I mean I just got I just got to go out then on the field and just show you guys that I could be Didn't that's no part of the great great Ohio State receiver to come through here. So I mean it's a blessing and know how that but and as I go out then playing show you guys

2:30:42Oh Means a lot for me to be was it the first freshman? Yeah, I mean just that's aggressive me for sure just no shows all the hard work that I put in after me on the way My dad really The maturity No, just be older than no act my age act older than my age. I mean a lot people tell me that I don't act my age I'm at way away because my way beyond my years Me just you just gotta be mature and know at Don't I like a kid Just no when I see a 50 50 ball. I mean just I just think it's I gotta make the play in this on me You know matter how the ball is Is a bad ball just feel like I gotta make that play no matter what the circumstances is you know matter

2:31:42It's a bad ball. I feel like the ball is mine. It's no matter who I'm fronting you or No, no matter what getting between the ball and fender come from You always have that nice. Oh, yeah, I did always had that next I was like since I started to parents you right like eight years old. I just found the way to know Make sure that ball is mine when it's in the air And I just got always found a way to find a way to make my quarterback look good Oh, yeah, for sure. He definitely made a big jump from industry Um, I like his confidence He's starting to talk more talk a lot of mess on the field and I like that about my quarterback quarterback to talk and you know just get around his prayers and making a feel good about it Oh, he talked on the field uh, no, just He just said a lot of stuff. I can't say but he'll talk for sure Okay, Jeremiah. Thank you very much. Thank you guys

I'm gonna find a way to make a play Talk earlier about you know some of the great athletes that you got challenged and you aspire to be like I guess Where's that confidence kind of come from for you? How long have you had that confidence that you have the ability to be You know one of the greatest in this sport. I I mean a lot of people told tell me that I'm gonna be great at what I do since I was about Going into high school a lot of people tell me that me just you know Football is all I know and that's all I really want to do like I live breathe sleep football

2:43:12Like that's all I really care about don't care about everything outside of football like football is all I know And I just want to play football rest my life Thanks for all I mean just you know the weeks that we had all we were just working on deep deep shots Because they tell us in meetings that we have we got to take shots down fill Um, we just got to connect on them and no will tell me before before the games like I said You just got to throw the ball out then just give me a chance and I'm gonna make a play for you That's what that's what you told me and I just got to make a play for I'm saying don't be honest We can all joke we can all talk about the expectations and the start of this become You know you were just 13 games How do you handle that? I mean just a freshman How do you take all these expectations know when you step on the field that You're always open and still go out there and play. Oh me

2:44:15Expectations, I mean, I can't know how you stay for a reason. That's what I wanted When it be challenged. I wanted the expectation Expectations I should say um I mean coach hotline just helped me Uh, throughout the whole year just preparing me for each game each week Uh, mecha buka Uh, carnival tape Brendan and it's really the whole receiver on just helped me Stuff I don't really know about uh, it just helped me throughout the whole week And you know, I can't really say as all of me because my talent is but they really been a big part of the reason I'm having the season that I'm having for sure I am your gillets Jeremiah over a thousand years 12th of December first year when you look back at your freshman year What was the most of go part about adjusting to the college game? What was the part that you had not you know the hardest part about trying to train this one? Learning that playbook I playbook is certain else just coming in uh spring ball Uh, mecha's new place in every week. I'm like well, what is this like? This new place every day in coach hotline like you we go you go be good We got no summer fall camp you go be great. So I mean

2:45:19Just you know That's it. That's definitely was the hardest part just learning to playbook and a lot of other things has to say for sure I'm pretty I'm pretty sure I got it down pat right now, but uh net season. I really want to learn everything the hz Uh, yeah, I really want to learn everything in the uh playbook for net sure for sure That will be 247 sports you mentioned How many guys it might take because you did not feel out there so when you are one on one And wills talk about what he sees you be one of one what is going through your mind as you wind up and realize There's one guy covering When that's all I could say I mean as a uh coach hotline uh we do something like in a hotel uh Friday night before the year he asked me like a question like you get one on one something like that He asked me uh, what do you do? I say when and everybody just start laughing. I don't know every like It's true like you got a win you're one on one about it. So Oh

2:46:19Jeremiah they moved you around some against Tennessee to the point where Get a couple matchups against linebackers. Yeah, uh what goes through your mind with you find yourself matched up against the linebacker Uh, I just start laughing in my head a little bit um Um, I mean linebackers can't really cover She was like that so I just know like it's most likely to be open Um, but you know they just try to move me around a lot because you know people try to bracket me when I'm outside Just alone by myself. So that's why there's movement me around the lot Or less male or more Jeremiah you mentioned the most difficult part of your freshman campaign has been learning the playbook. What has been the best part so far? I was gonna rub off on people eventually um And I would also say that You know you kind of have to understand who you're talking to you know people Certain stuff makes different people take so you gotta gotta know your guys You know if you gotta get harder on somebody to to make them go or if you gotta kind of relate to them And you know pull them aside have a talk. So I think that all goes Into leadership and you have to be able to

2:47:20That has to be a skill that you have to be able to develop Um, I want to say you know too much has has necessarily changed But you can tell you how tremendous trust in coach Kelly um and what he's what he's gonna do in the Kind of the schemes and everything that he's brought into our program So um the fact that you know he has such confidence in him and his play call and ability makes us tremendously confident so Coach days has always been coach games continue to stay that way But I'm glad he's able to you know focus more on what he needs to focus on Okay Um, he's kind of a field general in a sense kind of the quarterback on that side A lot of people might may think just you know the Mike linebacker and we have Cody Simon who does that as well But um Caleb's kind of that for our secondary kind of make sure things are clicking on all cylinders And he's just a very cerebral kid very smart And he's able to kind of take control of the defense. So make make the right calls make the right checks

2:48:21So he's definitely annoying for the office to deal with but it makes us better Where do you want I would say impacts the entire offense um, it's not like you know, we're not oblivious to the fact of the caliber player he is but um You know as as a offense you you come out and you expect to execute on anybody who's lined up a cash Yeah, I never really thought about it like that We definitely come a come a long way since my freshman year Um, thankful to the Lord. He's kept me all these years and come ahead on straight and allow me to you know Develop into the person that I am now Um, but so you know coming full circle it is really surreal moments of being my senior year playing against you know The pre-block on my first catchment. So it's really cool I remember I remember Kyle getting yelled at he was a ball He was not supposed to throw and I also remember I'm getting pushed out at like the one or two year online

2:49:22So that's kind of a bitter sweet memory, but um, it was a great memory I mean, I have to say yes, if I don't think I should explore it. I don't think I should be playing football Who's uh my line? Um, yeah, my only came in. He kind of has all the intangibles over his see where you can tell He just loves the game the way he goes about his business. Um, he runs every route to perfection. He's a he's uh You know very cerebral kid Every time he gets on the field he expects perfection. So um, he's just got to continue to develop continue to work And I'm really excited to see what he's able to do for us Yeah, um, I think you know It's no secret that he has all the physical capabilities that you would want or receive a really any position He could play any position on the football field with his athletic ability, but um, so a lot of it for him was putting together But mental piece of the game, you know, not just understanding what he has on a specific play, but the whole concept

2:50:24Um, understanding defense is all that type of stuff So um, there's nothing really that can get you ready for that moment for your first nap in college because it is different in high school But um, you know, once he wants to get acclimated gets used to it. I don't know. I have no doubts It's gonna take off for us and do tremendous things Yeah, I mean, it's been a it's been a huge part of everything that we've done Been a huge part of a lot of the reasons why the seeds came back and everything like that So we have a team Bible study that we continue to do and continue to grow I'm kind of just freaks is truth of the gospel to the guys on the team and It's definitely permeated throughout the team throughout the years because you know, looking back a couple of years ago There wasn't that many people on the team heavily into their faith And along came a couple special people who really changed the dynamics of our program But um, you know, the Bible says one man plans the other man was but God ultimately brings it increased So we're just trying our best to stay obedient to the Lord and he's done tremendous things I'll say kind of the the the founders. I would say of the team's faith

2:51:25Um, we're definitely uh, master team for one Uh, Cameron Bab and Xavier Johnson. So those guys Um, really I view my responsibility as a captain and just as a as a person in general is to push Um, everybody closer to Christ um, and you know by doing that I try to walk as close to Christ as I can myself I'm kind of be that example and be that life where people look up to um, and I think all the the basic principles that are found in the Bible And you're trying to pursue Christ will naturally naturally make you a better leader better person better football player in a sense So I just try my best to anyway I

2:52:32Yeah, I mean we have specific goals going into every single week Some of our goals for this week is you know, things can get sloppy in the week one You see it all across the country Um, you know, false starts penalty is all these types of stuff So we're really just trying to be clean go out there play a fast complete football game Um, clicking on and firing on all cylinders. So um, by no means are you as underestimating it and your opponent We go out there on the field every Saturday, spitting the ball out whoever lands up across from us So that's just our mentality. So we're going to hold you to that Yeah, very very unseries guy very funny guy Kind of lines the room when he walking when he walks in and um, he's just he's a true joy to be around You can kind of throw will into any setting and he's going to get along with everybody there So um, definitely of the the team chemistry locker room. We love having him around So we're super glad he's part of this team. Oh line. They were getting back there. Look for him We also expected on the play oh come on We knew that they were in the team that plays in the honor

2:53:39When the ball did come out you guys were efficient in the passing game What allowed the passing effect to stay that The ball just had to come out quicker and so How much do you feel like that game can be a building block for you in terms of continuing to be a big and big party off time? Oh, I feel like each game a building like we a stack each game and stuff like that I just made bigger plays in games. So like that's uh, I just thought it's another building block from the mad Oh, they've been doing pretty good. They've been adding stuff like that new guys new places and stuff like that We're all trying to pick up uh from the injuries and stuff You guys Oh, we did got a good end getting the box. No water. You gotta get in there probably get the safety get lie backers or at the end It's like that whatever they need us to do

2:54:40On your touchdown catch so this is like a different ball of a while to come down Uh, they came It's throwing into the wind Currently what's it like? Got three big time live receivers made before It would find you insignificant and significant time. Yeah, I knew it was all come my way each and every week We have plays for each and all of us in the line that it just really depends on what the difference gives us Players to give us one thing and then it's not a ball goes away from me or goes comes to me and stuff like that Ultimately, it's not in my decision. It's all good and yet you're you're blocking a state of point So like you're blocking it is on point. Yeah, our blocking from the wide-out has been a big emphasis this year It's up like that because we like that pretty much all last year They're big differences of blocking it here from the wide-out. Can when you look at Penn State on the video What just stands out about there? Maybe their past and past what you which you're going to be personally up against

2:55:41They are pretty good-to-life pointers. They play man that lives and stuff like that So we got to win our 101s. I thought of them on the perimeter I'm similar to today. I know you got a lot to do in the game last year How similar is there for us to share the cornerbacks of what you maybe saw last year? I'm pretty much the same. Oh, America over the all around they got a little size on the foot and stuff like that They all probably pretty much the same size all around Thank you guys I Live guys I'd say that pressure is walk away. He kind of brings some good energy Jace Middleton right there too. He kind of oversees Max the Bronx a little bit That's pretty fun Not in catching we all have some pretty good opportunities for catching especially practice I Definitely competitive but in a good way we're all there support of We all know our strength

2:56:43After practice If we There

2:57:49our unit is we're turning it into a toughis. But you know, I think that's what we're going to do. It's the first lesson for us to do. So there we go. Where did we go? Right now, where you got your hat and that part? I think that's what we're going to do. I would say we definitely have grown. But it started in the spring. That's where this old style of time just went ahead. Trying to get it. Ford just, you know, got a hundred percent. Oh, so it's going to be a big hit. I know it didn't work. I mean, I want to really say it's drilling the toughness. That's drilling and counting abilities right there. So, you know, if we're talking about this a lot, I mean, we fall started. That's all that. Is that the guy you know, those are the last one. I would say our Hindi kind of drills are done for us for toughness. Because our enemies are on the toughest with us. Going, you know, full reps. We're going to be told it's working for the longest day in the class. Working with our community. Getting back to the sport.

2:58:49Getting back to the sport. There's a really going to get some of this. How much was your coming from family? Been a great resource. You've been being a football player here in Ohio State. I mean, being 20 minutes from home is pretty nice. And my dad, playing here, is a big one too. So just being able to go back home and spend time with family is good. How often do you go back? I would say probably once a week, or as soon as we get somewhere right around there, not that far. There's some good people. Yeah, get a family dinner. Do you ever go back for a very high school event? Sure. Go back to being a wonderful schedule for that. Yeah, it's a great way of byweb, or this week I can go back. When things ramp up in school, how do you balance that? You know, covering the point? I, yeah, it does. Especially when the skin instantly starts to manifest.

2:59:49You really have a firm, but you're not sick. You really have to be really down on your skin. Now that we're under so much time, what, what excites you about getting on field in the engine with playing meaningful football? Being able to grow, seeing the brothers succeed. And just knowing that all the work that we put in and doing that would go for them. Yeah, that's awesome. Are you a big guy that had on taking the environment, or are you just all business once you step out of the honest field? I'd probably say it's in a whole business. I kind of just kind of went out and I go out there and it was really fun, but there's moments that when we had a big, wrong, ignore, damn, I'm taking that all. That was awesome. There's moments like that. I think that we just kind of have to look at environment. Yeah, that's great. When you were when you had an accident and getting a lot of people to watch snacks, what, how can you prepare for that

3:00:50for everything that you've done and what you've done, you can get practice in that moment? Practice, you know, breaking the gears, practice a heart attack here. And then if you're in different screen, you know, you can work on it at the game and it's just right there about practices. What you're thinking about is that's what you're talking about the key things, you know, it's the kind of working against that factor. How do they push you as to have me, I am, you better, and you're free from that. A little quicker than me. So I break the gear, I hear a little bit of a fact here. I'm just kind of grateful for that. You know, their quickness kind of helps me get my seat in the middle. I'm having a hard time with those bus pay-out down there by coming with the bus. I'm having a hard time with the product. I have the kind of things that you get, like, you can get the bus in the car, you can get the seat in the wheel, you can bring on that, then it's fighting. So that means what if there might be the top programs? I mean, you see a lot of those kind of programs

3:01:51that you've been doing most of the time. I mean, I can't talk to these entities where I'm doing things that are just on the top, and I'm not going to have to worry about what I'm doing now. We all come to that, so I'm just going to ask you for a few more questions. I'm going to be thinking about how many guys have a new impact on the public. How many people have had, even though I'm not like, I don't know if you had any of those young people. People don't know what they're having, like, I'm not really thinking of anything. Right, I mean, it's good. Well, I've been in the middle of the night, and I've been doing this for a long season. I think it's great, you know, yeah, I'm really happy to have had the rest of us. I'm really excited to be here. How important is the relationship of the music? I'll make it more meaningful. Good. We're close with the talk a lot. I would have to team up on it and also say something. I think that's great. Absolutely, but I would say during mid-Spring, I'd say okay, I'm going to be better at this. I had a really good summer, really good fall camp,

3:02:52and I grew a lot of energy. What's a low reaction? Yeah, I mean, again, I've used a year ago. I'm way past it. I'm ready for this. What do you feel like your role can be? Whatever they need me to do. I'm on self-reliar. I can provide a lot of blocking in and passing in. It's been good. It's been great. I feel something perfectly with all the guys. I like them a lot. It's been great. Yeah. I think I was a little off the course. You think I'm going to be able to do it? Are you going to be able to do it? Yeah, I mean, again, we bounce down the center. Sometimes we're watching film and all those. That's me or him. He's really great at this. He's great at this. He's watching. He's watching. He's watching.

3:03:53He's watching. He's watching. Yeah, I mean, like I said, they're the best in the country. They're the best in the country. Getting going is them. They're working with technique. My hand plays with my feet for a year. I think, not, not, not, not be able to play. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It did, at the same time, we were different skin. We were tapped down, 26 pound, 26 pounder plays. Here's more. We do do tap runs. That's more than that. So it's different footwork than different bars and measurements. I'm curious, you're out there. I'm going to do it. What's the opportunity for all of you in the tight end room, you know, with K- Now World Park, too, Tom? Yeah, we're at this K-epe for sure. But, you know, we're, we're on hold, getting, and we're making sure that, you know, we're making sure that we're doing it.

3:04:53What's your vibe on, what's your strength of the brand and the whole world? Even a spring game, and what's your block, you know. I mean it just, it just shows how, what we have going on at the highest stage. I don't know, the power of the program. The more revenge this week, and till Cody, instead maybe that started last week before Iowa, you're thoughts on how you guys move back to here this week? I think going back to this our foundation of the team, as a team, we believe that we're built on toughness. It's one thing to say, but I believe that we show up weekend, we got when we showed toughness. But to your point, last week, I believe there was a lot of competition groups that were challenged, not necessarily taking it personal, but just challenged to practice harder than let's see, how hard can we practice? And so I think ever since then, there has been another step that we've taken. But that's the whole goal. I mean, I hope in two or three weeks from now, there's even another step that we take forward for where we are now.

3:05:54That's just the evolution of getting better as a team. And I think one thing I've noticed with this football team is I think every single week we play, we've continues to get better. But I mean, that's just life, right? I mean, the thing you continue to do, you have the hopes to continue to get better. But I think we're seeing that here with this football team as well. I think when we talked to you in camp, you said you were excited about how you guys are going to run the ball this year. And obviously, you've done that. At what point did it become clear to you guys were going to be able to kind of hang your hat in front of the ball the way you are now? I just think we're such a balanced offense. I think this kind of going against our team, especially in specificity, against our offense. I think there's just too many things you have to remember. You've got to respect the perimeter and you have to respect the run game. You have to respect the stretch and the inside zone, all the different things that we can do, putting the ball over the field in perimeter or even taking a shot down the field. You have to respect so many things. That just leaves gaps in the ability to gash the ball for six and seven and eight yards. So I guess to answer your question, the more dynamic we're ever to be on perimeter,

3:06:57the more we're able to connect when we hit on shots. I think the better it's going to be able to open up the run game as well. But I think Coach Kelly and Coach Day, they do an amazing job just putting us in the right position and we don't have to think about that kind of stuff. We just awful mind that it's 4 to 6, 8 to V plus 2 to play as hard and as violent as we can. And we'll look at the scoreboard at the end of the game and see where we are. Is that balance the best you've had since you've been here? How would you guys characterize the balance of the ball? Yeah, I just think, I don't know, I don't want to sum up. I don't want to compare. But I think we're just a very balanced team. I don't, I don't, there's not much weakness. And now when I say that, we still have the humility to know that we must continue to be better weekend and we count. But when I just look at our team as a whole, I don't just see like, let's go pick on this guy. Because this guy can't do X, Y and Z or we can leave him. I think we have 11 guys on both sides of the ball that are able to be dynamic and the physical and strong players. And I think we're just a complete team.

3:07:58But again, I say that with humility, we want to continue to weekend and week out be the best team. We know we have to show up because on any given week you can lose. So we show up every week with the intentions that it's a national team. So today's talk a lot about, you know, it's been a few days about the less than two minutes. You've got to have this team for the Iowa game. Yeah. And for men. What's kind of help you grow as a leader and what's kind of help you grow more comfortable? I guess it's being kind of a voice and watch. I would just attribute that to my faith. My words, they would do the strikes. I think before you can lead anybody else, you have to have a sense of foundation who you are. Having a sense of self, I do self. And I think the more that I've been able to be strong in my faith, the more confidence it is given me into being leaders to other people, being able to be a leader to other people. But I think that's where it starts. How can you lead people if you're not really sure of where you are? And then also when it comes to, you know, practicality of football, I think the more you have an understanding of the options, the more vexion you are in the options, the more that you know, the more ability you can then hand knowledge to the next group of younger guys coming behind you.

3:09:05So that all helps with leadership. But I would attribute that to my faith, my strong foundation, you know, knowing who I am. Maybe some of the better instrumentalized years that you kind of were able to learn from as well. I know that they were pretty good leaders as well. You asked who were some others. There were so many. This being my 50 year, I've seen many, many leaders always going back to my freshman who was just in and past school and Jonathan Cooper, those guys to then the next group of guys with Chris and all those different guys going up coming through here. I've seen many great leaders and I think there's something I would definitely say that's something special with the leaders on this team. I would say there's not the leaders that we have on this team, they're not just leaders due to seniority, due to it's just my turn. But I would look at the leaders that we have on this team and say they're sincerely leaders. Not just by leaders by, it's not as handy down there. They're truly, we have great leaders on this team.

3:10:09The first question, Brandon was saying that he feels like Will is just built for the moment. Do you kind of feel that way too? Yeah, I feel like he never gets too high, he never gets too low. He's always locked in and focused. And that's the kind of, I don't know, temperament is the right word, but the right attitude, if you will, for lack of better words. That's the right attitude that you want from a quarterback. No matter what spot we are in the game, we can look to Will and who will be able to lead our huddle. And we have confidence in that. All right, she, thank you. Really, man, it's tough practices, you know, hard camp and so far and it's been tough practices. So really just coming in each and every day, man, it's just trying to get better. How important is Navajo and the run, especially now in take time?

What's the most intense memory you had the most lost loss in your dog's health? I ain't going to lie. It's so many. Fall count, no, fall count, man. I got so many there. It's a lot, man. Okay, what was the first impression when you went shot and all you got first met? I think when he first got here, he came in the room. He gave us the speech. He was like, I'm a dog. I'm a dog. That's right, I knew I was like, we in it.

3:13:14I love Coach Lugman, mentality, brains here. I thank God for bringing him here. He's been amazing. In this room, on the same man, he's been a huge part of the same. I was talking to you about that. Have you had a coach quite intense as with Carlos? Yeah, coach Ophor was that way. He coached me that way. Coach Lug does it as well. Both of those guys, I'm so thankful that God has allowed us to cross pass. They both been really helpful in my life. What are the sets of different ones that saw the other day? We just had a generally keeping balance sometimes. I was born as a herd running back to work on stuff with a kind of off hand. I mean, I feel like it's just a tool. You know, you can use sometimes that comes out. And so one thing that Coach Lug helped us work on is just using different tools. And so it definitely comes to show on Saturday.

3:14:16You know, sometimes. Yeah, it's really important to just try to work on those tools as a running back. What about contact now? I don't even prefer that over the post-properative. It seems like that's going to be great for you really. Shoot, really, man. Just like the part of this program is getting developed. And so really just getting developed here. You know, the coaches here, they've been doing a good job of helping me, you know, grow and become, you know, a better running back. And so especially having Coach Lug here, you know, he's been a huge part of, you know, the success. I praise God, you know, first and foremost, but, you know, with him bringing Coach Lug here and him leading Coach Lug here. Man, he's been a huge part of that. But, we've been showing him, you know, we've talked so much, you guys have talked about it. You know, split carries. But now that you're actually in the season, you feel you're in for a drive and then Coach Lug comes in and you go over that nerve drive where you feel that defenses are more worn down where you're not in first time going. You split back those before, but you've always been a feature back. Now you're kind of split carries. Do you feel like, when you feel the defenses are a little more worn down than you are when you get in there, you know, first, light first quarter or early second quarter?

3:15:23Every now and I mean, it really depends on the team. You know, there are some teams that play hard, you know, four, four quarters. And so, yeah, it really depends on the team to be honest. Do you think split carries might kind of help you at all in any way? Yes. It has helped me in so many ways. And I, you know, it's a long season for real. And so the biggest thing is just helping, you know, with the wear and tear. And I'm just building off each other moment of two. So it's helped in so many ways. And kind of building more in here to even help you. You know, you're not maybe getting the volume. It's not harder, but it helps at all. Coach, they actually talked about that to be honest. Does he express to the team, you know, if you get tired, you know, we got, we got, we got definitely on the same, you know, guys who can come in and make plays. And so he actually expressed that. You're testing to come, but what's impressed you about the office and why in the month? Man, really the work they've been doing, you know, during practice. I mean, I know y'all see it, you know, during on Saturdays. But man, really the work they've been doing, they're in practice.

3:16:24You know, it's hard, man. And those guys do a good job of, you know, just coming in each and every day and trying to get better. So you talk about your thinking, getting off from Sean. And he comes out with a step arm. You come out with a step arm. You guys speed off that physicality. I want to, one of another, one of another. Yeah, man. Like I said, man, there's definitely, we build momentum, you know, off each other. And I'll definitely build momentum off when Sean, man. When Sean is a great running back, I believe the best running back in the country, man. That boy, talented man. And, you know, I'm so thankful, man, to have him here, man. He's going to be a huge part of the scene. Thanks for having me. You guys together. I was got on the field and executed. I thought it was just amazing to see. So as it's teammate, you know, I gave him the arms and the props. And we got to hear him, like, bro, that's a hell of a lot. But he's just good to see. Did you hear him yell from the side, why? It was so loud, you could hear it on a TV microphone. No, actually, I did, man. I just seen the blitz click up. I would laugh. You make you want to go out there and get one? For sure.

3:17:24Yeah, for sure. How was your fast-pro-owned center? I thought, definitely, you know, I didn't get a lot of blitzes as far as I think on the hat. Like, yeah, I didn't have any pressure on Saturday. So definitely want to want to share. You know, I just got coach Kelly yesterday. CalShe's own CEO says it himself.

Does he call things differently when you're in the game, when you see you're in the game, or when he sees Pravee on the game?

3:19:29He says no. He's no like that too, because the packages are the package. You all just run the planes. Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing. I don't totally play it. I don't draw anything else because I just go out there and execute it in my head. Yeah, I know you all are trained the same. You look at the guy you see. Basically, he's a little bit different from that guy. Yeah. How do you like this package? It's all out of the way shot. This office. It's only the first game. So I wish I could say, definitely how much I like it so far, but I think as we continue throughout the season, we get to showcase a lot of different. That's why it's how does it compare to what you can do? The Ole Miss stuff, the variety of plays, etc. I think just starting off the season at the point that we're now like, we haven't really done too many crazy games. Just right away. What's your practice for? Yeah, you already did. Yeah, there's a feel pretty deep to you. Oh yeah, definitely. It's going to be fun and exciting to share. Coach, I just feel like you guys are close in the run game, the bus you do open.

3:20:30Yeah, I definitely think so. Like I said, we see on the fan how everybody has collectively come together and improve things that we're missed or stuff like that, but I think we definitely will. Coach, I'm sorry I got that big wall. What's that Brandon in it? What was your point of view of that? We're watching back on film. What's every action for you and how much of an emphasis it is that? It was actually Brandon. Yeah. Definitely, definitely a big emphasis, especially at our position, super important, just to see what we do in practice together in the Eagle XB. What was the reaction to seeing the MAP lock for the game? I mean, at the moment, I just like, Danny and Mike C. Oh, I'm sure. Coach Kelly was talking about you, Jamie on James Peoples, doesn't matter who's in the game, they call it the same way. And James, like, what did you see in his first performance? Do you see some similarities that all between the US? I think in James, man, just saying, I'm glad there would be super excited with the performance.

3:21:32Like, go out there for his first game and see him get the run and get the dude out and just see him get the experience like his first game. Me and Tray both just enjoy it. Are you surprised at all the sea terrorizing happen for ever game? I think just as a team and like, we're so talented and everybody just works so hard since we've been here. And you get to see what each of your teammates can do. So it's like when they go out on Saturdays, it feels like us. Great. Coach John, thank you very much. Thank you guys. Thanks for watching. It's been a while on the deck. It takes a step on Jeff Walker towards the locker room if you don't mind. I'm really just coming in each and every day, man. It's just trying to get better. So, I'm important to establish in the run, especially now in big time. Man is very important. The coaches, they stress out a lot. We've got to run the balls, not to run, especially in these match-up games, these big game.

3:22:35So we've definitely been working to try to do that. But what's the most intense memory you had the most lost in the back here? I ain't going to lie. It's so many. It's so many. Paul County, no, fuck out, man. I got so many there, fuck out. But yes, it's a lot, man. Okay, what was the first impression when you went shot and all you guys first met? I think when he first got here, he came in the room. He gave us the speech. He was like, I'm a dog. I'm a dog. That's right, I knew I was like, we in it, man. I love Coach Lugman, mentality, friends here, man. Thank God for bringing him here, man. He's been amazing in this room on the same man. He's been a huge part of the same. I was talking to you about that. Have you ever had a coach quite intense as with Carlos'? Yeah, man.

3:23:35Coach Ophor was that way. He coached me that way. Coach Lug does it as well. And so, yeah, man, both of those guys, man, I'm so thankful. That God has allowed us to cross paths. They both been really helpful in my life. Maybe on what other sets of fun, like the Sal the other day, or do we just kind of generally keep in balance sometimes? I would point as if we're running back to work on stuff with a kind of your off hand, and you're not carrying this over. I mean, I feel like it's just a tool. You know, you can use sometimes that comes out. And so, one thing that Coach Lug helped us work on, is just using different tools. And so, it definitely comes to show on Saturday. You know, sometimes, so, man, that's really important. Just trying to work on those tools as a running back. What about contact now? I'll do the first batch over the course of the perfect. It seems like that's going to scream for you really, really. Yeah. Just... Calci's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on Calci lose money.

3:24:36So, what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the most time, the time, resources, energy, their dedicated, their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that, and still. And yes, two thirds of people on Calci lose money. That's Calci, in their own CEOs' words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. Like the part of this program is getting developed. And so, really just getting developed here. You know, the coaches here, they've been doing a good job of helping me grow and become a better running back. And so, especially having Coach Lock here, you know, he's been a huge part of, you know, the success. I praise God, you know, first and foremost, but, you know, with him bringing Coach Lock here, him leading Coach Lock here, man, he's been a huge part of that. So, with Coach Shiong, you know, we talk so much, you guys have talked about it. You know, split carries, but now that you're actually in the season, you feel you're in for a drive and then Coach Lock comes in and you go over that nerve drive where you feel that defenses are more worn down

3:25:39where you're not in first time going with your, you split back, it feels like you've always been with the future back. Now you're kind of split carries. Do you feel like, when you feel that defenses are a little more worn down than you are, when you get in there, you know, it's the first, light first quarter or early second quarter. Every now and, I mean, it really depends on the team. You know, there are some teams that play hard, you know, full four quarters. And so, yeah, it really depends on the team, to be honest. Do you think split carries, what kind of help you at all in the end? Yes, it has helped me in so many ways. And I, you know, it's a long season for real. And so, the biggest thing is just helping, you know, with the wear and tear. And I'm just building off each other moment of two. So, it's helped in so many ways. And trying to live an even more in here, does it even help getting down up like, do you know you're not maybe getting the volume, is it like some kind of harder, or does that help at all? Coach, they actually talked about that too, be honest. Does he express to the team, you know, if you get tired, you know, we got, we got, we got death on the same, you know, guys who can come in and make plays.

3:26:41And so, he actually expressed that. We got tested to come, but what's impressed you about the offense and why in the month of last season? Man, really the work they've been playing in, you know, is their practice. I mean, I know y'all see it, you know, during, on Saturdays, but man, really, the work they're playing during practice, you know, it's hard, man. And those guys do a good job of, you know, just coming in each and every day and trying to get better. So, you talk like, thank you, being, being off from Sean. And he comes out with a step arm, you come out with a step arm. You guys, you guys feed off that physicality, I want to, one of another, one of another. Yeah, man, like I said, man, there is definitely, we build momentum, you know, off each other and I'll definitely build momentum off when Sean, man. When Sean is a great running back, I believe the shoot, the best running back in the country, man. That boy, talented man. And, you know, I'm so thankful, man, to have him here, man. He's going to be a huge part of the scene. Thanks for having me. Yeah, man, he's been working really hard, man. Even before this season, he had a great spring, great summer, especially throughout fall count. He took a lot of reps and went against Shooter, the top players,

3:27:44and he's got deep in some countries. So I think he's ready to have a bit of a good game. As a bad team game, would you recognize what team does happy with it? They bring off today and as it goes, then coming in, or against two players, those guys, I think. I'm not going to lie. Sometimes I'm too locked in, I don't really notice it. But it might be going down on Hill's skills, but that is in K-Man. And so this is trying to motivate him, you know, he can do it, man. And then, as soon as a great tackle, we have the team trust. I want to walk around. Praveen, what are the things you can do as a veteran, as a back, to help those guys out front? I think the biggest thing, you know, is just continuing to carry each other. In those tough times, you know, when it gets hard, I think that's the biggest thing. I think there's a lot of time with time to get hard, you know, you can get selfish, I think that's how it's done. So that's something that God has been helping me work on. And those tough times, you know, to not be selfish, you know, at all, and really encourage the guys, you know, around me and spread his life.

3:28:47Is that when you've seen throughout the team here, it was possibly going to happen? Yes, definitely seeing that, man. We definitely been listening each other up and encouraging each other. You know, just, they're really trying to put the pace and focus on the basketball. We'll talk yesterday about how this lost game has been in the United States. You haven't had a lot of chances. How do you feel like you guys are turning the page of the game? I think really that was, that was like the biggest focus when we, when we came in after that loss, I met a team. It's just like Coach Day really did a good job with that, you know, it's just like, man, we all got to own up to the mistakes that were made. But, you know, one thing I love and respect about Coach Day is that he took it upon himself. You know, he called himself out and it was like that, so I know. But it's, and really it's all all of us, you know, in the team. And so that's one thing I really love about Coach Day is that, you know, he was willing to check himself. What was the last week's practice like specifically coming off that game?

3:29:47It was, it was, it was tough now. It was, it was a great week of development, you know, getting better and cleaning up the little details of the games. I think, you know, we, that we continue to strive on the little things, the little details, you know, we can really go forward. What's different about coming off the loss early out of this season here to coming off that first loss later in the year? I think the biggest thing is it just, it humbles us, you know, it keeps us focused on the right thing. Like, I believe this is a test of our faith, you know, in the Lord. I think this, I believe, you know, he wanted it to go this way, you know, and test our faith, you know, we, we continue to trust him, even when things are going to go our way. And, you know, he's helping us pass that test. You said Coach Day called himself out. What did he call himself out on? What kind of things do you say? Really just as a head coach, you know, this is his team, you know, he's like the guy. And so he was just like, it really starts with me. And so we love that, you know, I think a lot of times, you know, coaches will pinpoint it on everyone else, but Coach Day, you know,

3:30:49man, he just took it upon himself and like, that's what he's, you know, he's going to get it fixed. And, you know, he's definitely been pushing us, man, and pointing us in the right direction, man, and helping us clean up things. Try to punch on it usually doesn't put the ball in the ground. So how many moments of his career? What do you see for him kind of bouncing back from that? This week, how did this week pass? But, it was he turned on as well. Where did he add in terms of, you know, responding? No. Um, Coach Simon, and he's been responding to that virtually really well. Yeah, he's definitely not used to putting, putting the ball on the ground. And so he's definitely been working hard in practice. To get that, to get that fixed, man, Coach Simon is a really great player. And he's definitely going to bounce back. If you've been kind of guy, you have to go over to write out what that happens. And give him some motivation and comfort. You kind of leave it below that hand. Uh, yeah, I mean, we, we always go through the bench. And we, we encourage each other, man, Coach Simon, you know, he encourages me, I encourage his hands. So man, it's like, man, we're just sharpening each other, man, and therefore each other, you know, when we meet him.

3:31:49Try to go on the 2014 title team's getting on inside of it. Is there a 10-day anniversary? Do you remember Washington's League and the little guys as a kid? How did they put your memories of them? I'm not going to lie. I did not watch it at the kids. I'm not going to lie. Have you, have you gotten to know them now or just what's what's what's your sort of like, uh, you with that team? Uh, yeah, I, that team was loaded. That's what I heard about the team. Like it was, it was really loaded. I see highlights every now and then, uh, think, leaping off the like the champions, losing against them, all right? Yeah, yeah, like four, right? Four tuts, number four. Um, yeah, I, I think so, but I know that team with Stagman was loaded. So a lot of great guys on the team. Thank you, baby. I appreciate you. I think that's right. You know, just coming in, you know, with the right mindset, trying to put it in the work each and every day and get better as, um, as a team.

3:32:49So what are some ways that you and Genshinon kind of contrast the complement one of the things that you may not be able to do as well as the advice first. Uh, shoot. I don't know. We'll see. Where is James step down the course of the season? That seems like he's going to like playing on your back. Man, James has been so good, man. He's, man, he's, uh, he's a really good person and good player. And he comes in every day, you know, just try to get better. You know, he kind of reminds me a lot about myself and somewhere, man. This is hunger and everything is coming in. And he's, he's going to be a great player, man. He's continuing to buy, you know, to what we're going here and, you know, where we're trying to go. And, you know, he's, he's going to be a huge part of this offense. And, you know, he said this person too. What's the doubt about this hearing? Uh, man, he just brings someone's doing that. He's a funny dude. And, uh, man, yeah, I just, I just love a man as a brother, man. I got, you know, just, just a chance. You know, I knew James when he was recruited. And so we talked a little bit and just like being here, man, just being there,

3:33:49you know, helping him to start having the lower quality of the group. It's been a good man, a conversation that we have, you know, just off the field. And so just being able to be that one, you know, when he, when he was, you know, I'm just saying for that. They tried to, um, deal with those every season. He's set a build on it. How does the impact affect the one running down? Yeah. How does it, I got like, Kayla down. In fact, I feel she does know. I was in my here. I'm a factor. Oh, man. Kayla down. He's a good player, man. I was so glad, you know, he's here, man. He's, he's been really good for the defense, man. And, um, yeah, man, he's, he's, he's all around the field, you know, making plays in the ranked game, past game everywhere. And he shows up everywhere. What do you do with your response of love? As a captain, um, Jesus teaches greatness of serving. And so I just, you know, I think for me, you know, I just want to be, you know, the Lord's humble servant and just be able to serve others, you know, the players on my team. You know, how I reckon do so and be the captain that the Lord wants me to be.

3:34:50And so, you know, it's a, um, big responsibility, you know, the biggest thing is just like, um, that I pray on it and that the Lord helps me to remember is that, you know, I'm trying to please him and not others. And so, you know, just keep it in my eyes on the Lord and continue to allow him to work on my heart to be a better, um, teammate captain for my team. I think that's, it's, it's going to be really good. That's a really cool for you when you got here. You need your captain or a teammate. Uh, she's not really, man, it's just, yeah, not really, man, I'm just so thankful, you know, that, uh, God has placed me in this position and my teammates, you know, they, they picked me to be in this position. And, um, yeah, I'm just so thankful, man, and just being in this position, like, I just want to be able to bring glory to the Lord's name. And so, like I said, man, just leaning on him, you know, it's tough, man. It's tough, uh, being a captain because every day, you know, you got to come in and people are looking at you, um, do things right? And so, um, there's been days where I struggle and, um, just gotten in the secret place with the Lord and just asking the Lord to, for help, you know,

3:35:55and, um, he, he bought me due, man, and he's continuing to make me a better person, a better teammate. What have you talked? When Sean, you two steps in his first Sunday Saturday and one of the three early game games? Uh, I don't even think we talked much about that yet. Yeah, I don't know how much we talked about that. We so locked in there right now, man, it's just, when that time comes, the cons, man. What would you tell them about, you know, that atmosphere going on on Saturdays, you can keep contrasting with that? Uh, it's a side of, man. It's a side, especially first game, being back in the shoe, um, the walk and seeing the fans and everything, you know, it's, it's a huge environment. So, yeah, I'm, man, I know he's going to be so excited. You guys are bringing up two in the country. You're loaded. People expect y'all to make a run all the way to the championship game. Who knows what happens in. How legit is that? From your game. In your city, more your city. I'll trade you on about this team. Yeah. Shoot, man. Um, you know, it's a long season. And so I think the biggest thing is that we're trying to do as a team, you know, this year, it's not looked too far ahead.

3:36:59And just taking one game at a time, you know, I think that's the biggest thing right there, man. Let's, like, let's just focus on hacking and marshal in the next game, the next game. And then, um, eventually, like, we'll get there, man. We'll get there. But just every day, just trying to focus on one day at a time, putting in the work. And I'm preparing for the opponent. You know, we have each week. Alright, right. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Appreciate you, man. Um, so, um, you know, it's been great. And the more that I just throw to these receivers and just get, you know, get around these guys, you know, the more. Or we're coming together and becoming a team and it's, it's cool to see and we just got to keep, keep doing it and keep practicing as hard as we event. So what practice is then what do you like? CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And he has two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy, they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it.

3:37:59All that and still. And he has two thirds of people on CalShe lose money, lose money, lose money, lose money, lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. You know, I think I've done a pretty good job protecting the football and being smart with my decisions. You know, I think that I want to continue to push the ball down the field when I have opportunities to and be accurate down the field and get some more arrow on my, on my deep balls. Those are just a couple things that I've, I've thought about personally, but, you know, I think, I think one of the bigger things is, you know, what are we doing as a team? Obviously, you know, I'm thinking about myself and how I can be better, but, you know, the bigger thing is, how can we be better as a team? How can I facilitate that being a quarterback? You know, how can I encourage somebody, you know, before we go out there to remind them, hey, you know, if it's a running back, you know, make sure on 60 and whatever protection, you know, you got these guys.

3:38:59You know, doing, doing things like that is something I want to continue to grow in for my team, you know, because that's at the end of the day, you know, all 11 guys have to do their job. Every single play and, you know, being the quarterback, you kind of have to facilitate that a little bit and help those guys and make sure that, you know, we're, we're being the best team we can be. Yeah, I felt fast. It was nice to, nice to get out and running a little bit. You know, I, I, we made a little, middle of a QB call on that play and got out and ran and it was fun. You know, obviously, it's, it's nice to compete with those guys and running, you know, trying out runs and some, some TVs that are really, really fast. But yeah, it was a good play. I know when you're in your, you know, you want to do it with a lot of the past, you know, big, fire, if you come in, you feel like you're like, oh, yeah, absolutely. That's a big part of my game and it's going to need to be a part of our game as an offense.

3:40:03You know, whether that's in a re-game and in the scramble game, whatever it may be, and you know, I just want these guys on my team to know that, you know, I'm willing to run the ball and go get that extra yard when I need to, you know, because at the end of the day, that's what really, comes down to us, you know, are we going to run some quarterback, you know, run place, sure, but, you know, at the end of the game when it's third and five and everyone's, you know, everyone's covered down the field, am I going to be able to tuck the ball down and go, you know, go get 60 yards and run someone over that. That's, that's one of the bigger things and I think, you know, I want those guys, you know, they're out there with me to know that, you know, I'm going to go get that extra yard. I think that's a big part of the day, but some quarterbacks are able to run, but not willing to be able to be coached all those games. Yeah, as a visitor, Pee Wee, I mean, I've always, I've always, yeah, I've always definitely, you know, when I was a young kid, I was a pretty good runner when I got to high school, I was a tall, you know, skinny pocket passer kind of, and I wasn't really known for my running ability. I got to, you know, from time to time, but when I got to K state, I put on a little weight.

3:41:06I started to get a little stronger in the, you know, in my, in my, in my leg areas and, you know, I'm actually my first start against TCU third play of the game. I ripped off like an 80 yard, QB draw, which I surprised myself a little bit. Like, you know, I had had some good runs in camp and people knew I was good athlete, but like, I was like, man, I just really just do that. But from then on, you know, it just kind of became a part of my game. And, you know, I just got more and more confident with it. And, you know, the more you do it, the better you get at it. You know, throughout my whole career there, I obviously, I ran the ball. I get a mountain. I enjoy running the ball. I think, you know, people always ask me, is it more fun to run a touchdown or throw a touchdown? I like to run it. I think it's pretty cool to, you know, run in there and celebrate with the teammates. But, you know, yeah, it's definitely been a, been a big part of my game. It's what we need to do. So, what do the guys have said? That's a good question. Everything is, everything's heightened here. You know, I think, you know, you know, you feel, you feel the eyes a little bit and you feel, I think, I think that, you know, the one thing I would say is that I don't feel like I have to be a hero here.

3:42:17And I feel like I have the guys around me to where I just need to facilitate and just get them to ball and make good decisions. And at the end of the day, I don't have to go out there and do anything super, super human. You know, I just have to be myself and trust the guys around me. And, you know, in going through camp and through spring ball, like, it was talking to you earlier, Adam, like, going against his defense every single day is a, is a blessing. And like, I know it, it sucks at times and I'm sitting here like, geez, like, you know, in a, in a game like that guys, I can be guarded like that. You know, that's just in Zelda and the dude or RGB, you know, making a really good play. But like, that's real. And that is going to happen. And we're going to play some really good defenses. But like, I think we're playing, you know, one of if not the best defense in the country every single day. And that's just making me and us better. And, you know, for me, you know, it's just, it's elevating my game and I love the competition and we all do. So, well, you play the first set. Chipset. Calci's own CEO says it himself.

3:43:17And yes, two thirds of people on Calci lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy, their dedicated, their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on Calci lose money. lose money. lose money. That's Calci in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. I think they're doing a really good job. I think they hear in this offense, they're doing a lot of different things. They're moving around a lot. They're, you know, they're blocking their catching. They're doing a lot of different things and they've shown some really good flash so far in these first couple days of practice. And I'm excited for this group. I think, you know, G's doing some really good things. And obviously he's one of those alpha dogs in the offense. Like everyone looks to him. You know, he's one of those guys.

3:44:18You know, and Will Kazmari, he wants really good things. To Lonnie's and what's really good things. Like everyone's kind of stepping up. It's been cool to see. I think that tight end room is definitely bringing the juice. Coach, he's got him going. And I'm excited to see what they do. You feel like you're the number one quarterback. You're a first practice. You're the starter. You're mindset wise. How do you go about that? Because obviously it's still a competition. I'm just trying to be the best version of myself every single day. That's all I'm trying to do. And, you know, whatever, whenever I get thrown in there, I'm going to go in there and make the best out of my reps and, you know, show this team that, you know, I'm. I'm going to fight for them and do everything that we need to do to win. That's all that matters to me. Just getting better and being the best team that I can be. So this is the first year that the most coach guys were in practice and tricks of Billy. You can kind of talk to the guys more. For you guys to learn a new off at the system. Has that been valuable? Yeah. It's been awesome. Yeah, I think it was long overdue. I think, you know, we've had these guys that have ton of knowledge, you know, and have all these weird rules that they couldn't coach.

3:45:24But now being able to, you know, have Riley and Billy and Coach Kelly and Coach Day all coaching us. We got really two quarterback coaches on either field when we're doing like two spot like it's invaluable. And I think Billy's been awesome for the room. You know, I think Riley, Arkansas, some really good things. Obviously coach Kelly and coach there, you know, some of the best in the in the country, you know, I've developed me quarterbacks and you know, the coaching that we're getting is awesome. And I think having the analyst be able to be out there on the field has been really big and long overdue. Well, tips that there is no front line. You guys look at it. We're talking to all the reps. And what point would it be helpful to know who the starter is and be able to get those reps to be the leader more fortunate to take it to the team? Yeah, you know, I wish I could say I don't really know. And you know, that's not up to me. That's that's not my decision. I am I'm just going to be myself, you know, keep fighting to be the best version of myself every single day.

3:46:25And you know, try to make the make the most out of my reps and show this team that, you know, I'm going to I'm going to give them my all. And that's all I can do, man. And we're just going to keep competing, keep making each other better and have fun. So to your passive, you feel like a different pastor. You work a state in one. Yes, I do. I think I've I've tweaked some things with my mechanics. And you know, I think the coaching that I'm getting here is not not mechanic wise, but read wise and feet wise. And all these different things. And you know, I'm just I'm getting a different deeper level of coaching than I ever have before. And you know, I have a deeper understanding of the offense and what the defense is doing. And you know, my movement keys, my pre snap checklist, my post snap reads like everything's just been faster. And obviously, you know, my experience helps with that a little bit. But I think, you know, my work with my with my quarterback coach has helped a lot Jeff Christiansen, you know, he's he's helped me a ton. And you know, I I feel like I've just gotten stronger and that's helped me a lot too.

3:47:26So I think I'm throwing the ball with a lot more confidence, throwing the ball a lot better. And a lot of that has to do with the coaching I've gotten. And you know, that's a credit for those guys for forgetting me ready and, you know, making sure that, you know, I develop myself in the off season. And you know, I've become the best version of myself going into football. Thank you. Thank you guys. Thank you all. Appreciate it. We're back with you know, the quarterbacks they've had just the past five years shown the kind of great numbers. And I've done things the right way and I've wanted to come to this offense because by hand, because my coach Kelly, you know, make adjustments to Ryan. So I had pretty much contact with them. You know, you weren't really a, I didn't know that. I was really, really one of the things that Coach states is that you don't like to have your hand held and that process. Now you played up an age of a lot of time in football. What is it about you to drive and you want that much coaching? I'd say you know in high school, I had a coach that you know, he was giving me a lot of responsibility.

3:48:27And I, he would know kind of a lot of, not a responsibility I mean, make, make, make, make, make on me. And so I just, you know, I want to be the best player back at the league and take the need to do the field, do things the right way and just do things that I have. I love watching Joe Burrow. He makes adjustments to Ryan. He's a really good decision maker. I like Justin Burrow very much. I charge him so I watch him in play. And someone who's that in the middle of just, you know, be the decision makers who make things the right way. I would say I live a little more flat, but I'm working on the focus out here. I, you know, I'm just trying to get people to be more, but hopefully they're out there with the guys that even on my impression, you're trying to be a little different. That's why, that's why it's quite confidence. Definitely confident in your play. I know a lot about the club. I actually, I think I've only been here once in a few months now, since I love it.

3:49:30I really good to be places to be and my friends. I think I've visited maybe freshman or sophomore year. Yeah, just for the camper and visit just the, just the super-cell of these. He's really good at that. I know he's only a few days, but being in the Alabama program, especially as they prepared for ballpoint upfront, what did you take away from that short period of time? Yeah, it was, it was really good with the coach of recent, Kirsta, and they were coach and players hard. I think all the work that takes to get to the playoffs and then coming here, to see the older guys putting in the work and throughout the winter. I see our older guys and older leaders putting in the work and then showing them the happenings. How much of your relationship did you have with air, obviously, coming in? He had been committed. You come in, you're both freshmen. What was it like before and what's your relationship like? We didn't have much relationship prior. We measured it when we were 11. I knew each other a little bit. And then come in here, you know, we're back room, everyone here is really close.

3:50:30So we're all pushing each other to be better. We're all taking close points from each other trying to get the better. Coach, you know, the driver's milk for a few might survive. I'm just expecting it. I would say we are a cop, I surprise. You know, come back from the game and there's a little bit high experience because of the team journey. I don't know, it was kind of a cop, I suppose. How did you feel when I happened to either coach or play for or you were just signed into the field? And I was a professional. I had to get a chance with all that. There was definitely a lot of emotions, but I'm not going to lean on helping with it and making the relaxation. I'm not here and I'm like, you know, some more, but I'm not thinking of a little bit of not making it. I have a true question of what you could do. I'm not sure what you're going to do. I can't really explain how that would be. I'm just really trying to develop and take close with coach today. I can remember it for Michael Whisperer. I think I was close with Coach Kelly.

3:51:30I just want to develop and run the offense when they want it. And then take their coach and play some of the trust for them. If you look at your skills at push and bring, you can see that they're trying to develop. What do you think, what about your games, do you think you can try to get the knowledge to the point? I think that I can be a really good decision maker for the offense and some of you who have the absolutely no interest. It's a great question. You've got to take all of your coaching. You bet. I'm absolutely good. I think it's kind of a lot of things. I was always around football. I put my bow as a quarterback at Penn. So he used it quarterback in eighth and I was in high school and I was at football in his first step. So I've always been around football and then I just been at high level off in his high school. And just really just having a lot of fun. You get one more? Thank you. Who's your favorite Tayden? Packering. What are you saying? I was a taste of my life.

3:52:32I'm a pepper zonk. I'm a pepper zonk. I'm a pepper zonk. I'm a pepper zonk. I'm a pepper zonk. I'm a pepper zonk. I'm a pepper zonk. I feel a lot better when you're looking around like, well, help. You put your right hand down there. Now it gets so we had the sickness going back around and it was just slide outside in. Hey, we're going to, you're going to two platoon and go both cards today. You got to coach. And that was good for both parties. As a coach, we can still practice and then for the kids getting really good reps out of it. How much does it, you know, just, just, yeah, just foot the calendar. You're going to have the calendar of an offensive line unit anywhere. You're going to take the criticism. I think the maturity of these guys is probably what sounded or showed with Donna when I wasn't over there, but like, you had to hold his tongue. Yep. Okay. That's our position. That's who we are. That's when you want to coach this position or play this position. Like, you're going to take those. So I think the maturity and the growth of those guys, understanding what they need to do,

3:53:34why they need to do it, is going to pay dividends when we get on the field and start playing in the games. I see more and see better. We're playing more and continuing to play more like linemen and not lines on a page. I think as young guys and new guys you get in, you're kind of like, all right, little hats. Oh, I got burned. Okay, I'm going to go get the burn. No blocking you. I don't want to block you. You're right. I want to block you. Right? Okay. Okay, give me. Thanks, guys. Yeah. But just trying to not screw it up or get there, figuring it out, you know, schematically or whatever. We're now the ownership and, you know, we're going to burn. And this is how we're getting here and this is the technique I'm using. That's showing up a lot more than ice. And like I said, that starts burning food because we're not. You're not blocking a pop up dummy. Like, we do pods. We do individuals. Larry's guys. And you got good on good. And it's showing. And that's the positive.

3:54:35As a coach now, I'm sitting there feeling like. Feeling better about it because we're doing it. And they're doing it because they understand it. And they're not just saying, I'm a line on a page. I got to go block the nose. You mentioned Larry's guys. How much is it almost shining a light because you see a weakness on your line going against those guys? I would think it would expose it pretty well. You get a good read on what you have. Yeah, it's another proof though of when you're in a match-up game, Brian talks about this all the time. It's you versus you. If you don't take the right step, if you don't communicate or get the right fit to the right identification, then really good teams and really good players are going to take advantage of that. If you give them something that way. So you're playing you. So for us to answer your question, yeah. They expose like, why did I get beat right there? Did he beat me or did I give it to him and he took it? And then Larry's guys can do the same. And when we get whatever the technique may be on a zone player, a gap player, whatever it may be. And we hit something big. He can watch it and say, hey, did you miss their fit? Did they miss their hands? So that good on good that we're getting the goal is going to expose a lot of things,

3:55:37not necessarily of how good you are, but when you don't play as good as you are. If that makes sense. Hey, I just, this might be a general question, but how would you see your, I guess, recruiting approach, recruiting pitch, mold change over the course of your time? It's still all about, in my mind, or in my like, the evaluation. Like you have to be a guy that can come here and grow and perform and play. The changing has really been with the NIL landscape. And so figuring out what that piece really is, how vested and how far you have to be in that, what's their priorities. So I think that's always, that's going to be a fluid thing. But at the end of the day, like, you know, I'm sound boring and cliche, right? But like if a kid loves football, it wants to be great, wants to get developed, wants to be around and play against Larry's guys and those guys in practice. And we feel like we've evaluated through camp or through tape and we've offered those guys to, we want to go get those guys. Is that 40 is that 60 is that 90? I mean, that's, that's off our evaluation and what we have. So from a, you know, the game football hasn't changed, recruiting change, yeah, and all that.

3:56:40But you still got to take guys that you can go and develop because that day one ready made guy in the offensive mindset. Point of mind if you're finding four. Because they're feeling far between. You see a roster full with, you know, five stars, five or six or four back. Or whatever. And it seems like there's been a little bit of a struggle to get those top guys. So there's those top guys. Do you feel like you're approached with NIL who has a part of it? Do you feel like it's working? Do you feel like the pitch that will hide is getting here? Yeah, because we're not done yet. I mean, you know, keep your head on the swivel here. We're not, I mean, December the long way away and weekends coming up soon. You know, where guys are, where they get recruited, what position before me, that's what we have to do. That's my job. That's that's coaches job as we go together. It's like evaluating guys that we feel can come here and develop and play and help us to continue to win. And so, yeah, stars matter share. My wife could point out. That's a, that's a really good guy, right? But as I said, those, that pool lineman is not as big as some of the other.

3:57:43I mean, we shouldn't get him. It doesn't mean we're not working to go with those guys. And like I said, it doesn't mean that we're done either. And it's a long way to December too. So, how do you turn this into a couple of questions? There's one superstar guy that's on the set. Is that the start of pipeline or is it hard to really get this to the place where you get this guy? Is it a bad, super bad guy? Yeah, I mean, I think you just look at the recent history all the way through or all the stickers on the wall in there. Yeah, we had Paris. He was your national five star guy, right? But then we had other two other draft picks there that the one was in five star guy, right? Luke was in the five star guy. They had good players and they got developed. You know, those guys before. I got here all the guys on the wall. I mean, yeah, that's, you'd love to go get all those guys. But do they fit the next up round, guys? So, the four star guys? Are they really a four star? Do they really want to do that? From a pipeline online? No, you just put on the wall in the room and you've seen all those guys that have come from all different levels.

3:58:47How would you say you're the evaluation style when you're dealing with so many people wanting to hear before they even play the game as a junior, I needed offer from our last day. It seems like the process is just kind of lost in a way of being about a valuation, right? It's about a catch in the bottom of the line. In cases, but how much harder does that make you to know when you're looking at a kid who's gotten the size you that you're looking for, but maybe the form is there, maybe the camp performance wasn't what you wanted to see. How do you get him to understand all the things? Yeah, I think you got to feel through the relationship of what the kid, maybe the relationship with the coach, and just being frank and honest with him. I mean, I'm not smart enough to tell this guy one thing, this guy the other and circle back and all of a sudden you come back and it's like, what was the message you gave here? He was trying to be as straight and communicative as you can. I still don't think though you get into early junior year first two or three games, which we're going to do on guys that we felt like right there in Indian seat.

3:59:48That's when the next wave of offers and recruiting stuff goes into. If the kids just looking for a check mark on the internet, I've probably failed at that my entire career early on until you know that they're a buck eye. To be clear, you said I'm not a pop up dummy, can I just want to go close to you? You? Yeah. I would love to block you, but... With one leg or four, three two one. Just in just... Just in just... Just in just... I'm sorry to have you in here, dude. Got you. You got three guys. Last question for coach. Got three guys. Last question for coach. Josh, he's a priori, he's a guy. He's 15 years old. He's got one, he's... He's going to have 12 or that much. Where did the thought of experience show up? He's been watching the day the doubt was going to happen. He's been playing for the day. It could be, depend on the day. Like you're in the dull drums and the grind of camp. Practice 12, 13, 14. That veteran guy that kind of grabs the guys like fellas, we've been here. Let's go. This is the Lord's talk.

4:00:48We've got to pick it up. It could be in a situational field. It's an oriss like, hey, it's... We're going to third down period. Well, it's not just another play. Hey, it's the third down. Now, they come over walls. They're butts in, watch the picks, watch the twists. Whatever the patterns may be. I think it'll show them in the games. When we hit the first real adversity through whatever game, or whatever quarter, or whatever drive that shows up, then that's the next time I'm going to show up. Because as you said, there's... There's gamesmanship there. They've been in that and they know now it's not the first time. Whoa, what's happening? Hey, this is happening. Here's how we get through it. I'm super sorry. There's something that you think that you guys have been just in that episode last year with a frame of center two attackers. Obviously, I don't know. Like, do you think that you were missing all the good and bad and the good and the good and the good and the good and the good and the good. Yeah, you just a veteran experienced guys. You know what I mean? You had Matt there, played a lot of ball. You had Donnie was coming into it, but then you're replacing the three new guys. You know, one coming from across the country and other two guys.

4:01:48We're coming into it. So yeah, I mean, experience helps a ton. And what's the experience you decided? I've started this many games, which means he's played this many thousand reps. I've started this many games. I've had this many reps in the red zone or this many in it. Whatever situation it may be. Right tackle my freshman here. You know, six three right tackle, trying to block, trying to start it was fun. But going to guard, you know, obviously it helps your drafts off and everything like that. But you know, you don't just have to ball. That's pretty sick. You get both hands back. That's been kind of interesting. I know what kind of like at the end of spring a little bit. When I was going in with their highly limited and how he's my right hand. For a while, I come out of the ball. But obviously we've developed and we're good with that. So it's been a good experience. I know like me, Luke. You know, take as well. I'll play in some right. I'll play in some right. So I ask any questions asking Donnie questions on the other side of the ball. I don't know. I love it. I mean, I just love playing football. So I'm good with whatever.

4:02:49So good. What's different with chip Kelly is the office coordinator right now. But you've noticed with the running game. What do you feel is different? We run the rock. We found the rock man. It's isn't really fun this year. What does that mean? Now, when you say that, what pound the rock? What does that mean? You're vernacular. I just think the way we run out the ball and the scheme is we're going to implement this year. It's been very, very difficult for teams to combat that. I think the amazing offensive minds of coach Kelly, coach are obviously coach day and coach fry. I think they've come together and made some really, really fun plays. Not only, you know, obviously like really good scheme, but there's some cool plays in there as well. I know we've loved to, you know, run. I remember my freshman year and last year. You know, our defense has been a number one defense in the country. And now we've been able to really not, obviously, we're not going to beat him up or anything like that. We've been able to move a ball a little bit. So it's been fun seeing that and seeing the guys really get into it.

4:03:52And I think coach Kelly has been awesome and effective. He's a very open-minded coach. We're kind of stuffy tries. So we'll be reading the script or reading whatever. This is what we're going to run this up to this. It hits like 40 yards and this is the coolest thing ever. So I'm really excited for this year. I think everyone should be too. All right, Carson, thank you. Thank you. Sorry, you may. It's 6.5 on the roster, but that's why I asked. Yeah, no, I got a little blue color, yeah. Yeah. Amazing. Thank you, Carson. I'm sorry. I've been using two tie-ins and two running backs in our formation today. I'm not sure if that could be the whole mechanism in the situation. There's a lot of different things you can give in short-range, but a little bit of tribute to coach Aeson, and then what do you mean, to this goal? Joey Kauffman, Columbus Dispatch, over to Leck. Should be, do you look back? Not even your two months, 15 spring practices? There's something you feel best about when you've been able to accomplish with this on this.

4:04:54Well, I would have come up with something because I didn't taste that. I think the most impressive thing since I've been here is how we're close as for both teams. Some programs talk about a brother. This is really a brother. Our practices, as we talked about, how good our defense is. They're highly competitive, but they're not from that. And those guys really work very, very well together, both the whole line of the D line and the second year of their receivers. The competition is about the company that best there is in the country. That makes you better. But I think sometimes competition, you know, guys can lash out and you get really good battle. And then on Sunday, fight quick, side with fight boards out. And we're trying to accomplish it with the problem. But I think the way these guys cooperate and work together as a group is a special bond. And I think you're even going to need to be the closest team and most connected teams are on the same line. Over to the right here. Andy Baxter, a letter from the wrong team. Obviously, I didn't want to talk about Jeremiah, but I'm not good. Kalshi's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on Kalshi lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good.

4:05:56There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on Kalshi lose money. lose money. lose money. That's Kalshi in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. That's the big return of this group. If you can't provide it, I don't know what he can do. Today, what's it been like working with them? What kind of up it can be for you guys? Good point. And the mechanism behind me and the other 14 practice sessions, everybody can be a special player. And J.K. is a really talented player also. But I think all of the whole current updates and really good things watching him in this group. And for all of them, I eventually with the offensive line, I came in with the line. And I had no opinions for him. Not that I really just wide-eyed and just observed him. But I think that why I'm seeing him is really special. And I think there's a bunch of guys in there. And again, you have to play multiple games after the regular season is over.

4:06:59You're going to make sure you're going to be in depth like that. And the fact that it's, you feel a little bit comfortable right now. And we get some guys in there that can make some plays with the player. And that really dictates how people are going to defend you. So you've got a couple really good running backs. You know, so really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really. I know the boxing. I think those guys are one of one coverage. But it's the core practice responsibility to decipher that and get them all to those games. So we're doing it less than double covers. They're less than double covers. And now it's really not that you're boxing, you can run them all. So having too many weapons is a good problem to have. Second, we're all at Pat Murphy, 24-7 sports. Typically, we've talked a lot about them. The quarterbacks maybe by the starting point. But some of the younger guys, what have you seen from them? We got not going to see more of them today than we probably have. What's your assessment of them as they kind of getting this? I always am someone with us with young guys that enroll early in watching how they get acclimated and what they do. You know, you look at Julian and Aaron and JJ.

4:08:01They should be in the hot and much way in their high school. And they're out here playing in front of 80,000 people. And they've really progressed when you watch that and made these and listen to them. And they interpret, you know, so basically the whole concept is where we throw them in the deep end. And see if they can swim. You know, we didn't maybe anything. We don't put the insolven with, hey, you guys are in stock. We're already in stock. This is where the older players, and then you guys, you know, go set the kitty tape on. And we're just going to do that really simple things with you. They get it all in the more they can digest the more when you're in a role when you're checking for understanding and asking questions. And they can spit back to you the more confidence you have when they get in there with the plays that you can call for. So those guys have been in process. They're still learning, you know, they were the guys today that were kind of looking around and saying, well, there's a big, that's people here, along with the office coordinator, the quarterback coach, because I just got a look at that. Because I'd actually never been in the stadium. So yesterday when we had our 14th practice in there.

4:09:01So I played with House State Months when I was at Oregon. That was in the Rose Bulls High. I'd never been actually in the stadium until yesterday. So I caught myself and I went to the stadium today that I ran out and said, 80,000 per spring. And that's impressive. Got to have a few more folks over here until the right bill and Davis bill work. Is that people what you just said about throwing them into the deep end? What stood out to most people? You got to join his progression through 15th practice, and where he is, if you guys had out his brain. Julian is a very fast processor. You know, he really, thanks very, very quickly on his field. He makes really good decisions. He doesn't stick on it. And we can progress. And we, any season, is really well for a young player. And not having been exposed to a lot of college defenses. And especially what Jim does. Jim can make the young freshman homework. Pride with some of the stuff he does. But, you know, I never saw that with J.O. And that's been impressive. His ability to retain, you know, him and J.J.

4:10:04The compliment I would say is, if you got here and you didn't know what class I wanted to do with it, you wouldn't say that there was no question about it. How they picked things up. And, you know, sometimes freshmen act like freshmen. But the guys you were special, they don't act like freshmen. You know, they act like football friends. And those are two guys that are on their temples. Far left, Camartee Robinson, the athletic. You, you, you, on top of the freshmen, J.J. People's Sam, that was the second half. Yeah. You talk about how deep you need to be in this era, college football. But as you search for our Army Breed, what did you see from then today? And what, what has there been like in the business spring? Yeah, J.J. is really flashed early for, for me, not knowing it again. It's just that, don't worry about what the background is. Whether from who they are. The this guy, the stars, the this guy, the sergeants. They're all black eyed. And just how they do it. And I think James is kind of a really good field of vision. He can get things. My thoughts, and it's really good things today. TC is another guy who really came along during the spring.

4:11:04And we're constantly talking in our staff meetings about that. We're very cognitive-centred-type. The class situation has changed. So you have to develop that, you know, used to be, maybe, have a parent spare. It was what everybody says. But I think you may have to have more than that. And you're talking about 16-17 games. You're really going to be tested that way. So I was really happy with how well you guys have come along here in the 15 training sessions over time. Well, here's the right. Tim May, Tim May podcast. Thank you, Jerry. You're not on podcast? Yeah. If you guys all have a theme next to the episode, you're my roommate. I'm a coach. You're my coach. You're my coach. You're my coach. You must have some juice to be up here in the evening. Definitely. I like it. It's not just for lots of lines, but hot lots of lines. It's hot lots of lines. Yeah. Just do quick. Tim, what do you feel compelled to let these corebacks know where they stand? You know, it's coming up to you. You know, I mean, where's that go?

4:12:04I mean, in your mind. That world's the time of the staff and visit me on the mind. I mean, it is an unbelievable job. I think all our players understand where they fit and what the coach is and what you're more assessment. This isn't, you know, we're not going to come back. But we do it after every day. They know where they spend after the first one, after two, after three, after four. We greet everything. They're getting constant feedback in terms of where we are. And then after 15, which we had today. But we can't do it unless you watch the film. And you can really look at the things. Because you may see something when you're on the side. You know, why did you make that decision? Well, I couldn't really see the field safety from where he was. Okay, now I understand why you made that decision. So, you know, a little bit of meetings with all of the players. And that's always been the method. So this week during, you know, between Monday through Friday and hour, we're all scheduled. No one's going to want to recruit you because we'll have to that one more walk. And we consider every position. You know, offensive line. You're offensive line. I never say to you. Everybody's going to set that on their position, which is, you know, where they fit.

4:13:04And when you see them. And you feel pressure with the transfer portal. I mean, you've been a hit coach for a long time. I mean, is that on your mind that you see? Yeah, I think it's on the road. I don't think it's pressure. But I think you just open lines of communication. And everybody knows, you know, what your evaluation was to the training sessions that we had. Guys, we got to have, we got real quick. The last two questions. Dan, open and then Rob Alter. When do you feel like you need to have a starting quarterback named by. And whatever these things are going to be looking for between now and then and determined to do that. That's going to be. Moving between now and whatever then is we're not allowed as coaches to go back out in practice. We're doing in college football. We get 50 training sessions in the field in the out season. And then we'll go back to working with Mick in the way from. Get a bigger, get a faster, get a stronger. They'll have organized activities themselves. They do a really good job of that. But once there's a football out, like we're not allowed to be there to evaluate and be an assess.

4:14:05So they're really from a football center on their own into a lot of this. So you always want to do it earlier. But I also believe every time I've been involved in this is that it kind of happens organically and authentically. You know, because the players know. You say that we decided we're going to be a general. And they all think it's 10. They know. They don't lock them every day. Players understand who they feel is the guy. And most of the time the decision is very obvious. You know, when you say this is where we are on it. But that timetable thing, I can't give you an exact timetable on that. So Rob, she had talked about Julian. But typically in your experience, he'd done, again, like Tim said a long time. How long does it take for the game to slow it down for a young QB? I think it depends on the individual. I've had some kids.

4:15:06More early. You know, you were like, wow. Parkers Mario is like that. Remember, 50 seconds practice. He got to the fifth reading, the progression. I went through it out of here and it was a game. And I asked him, why I do it all? I asked why it's his one or something. I said, why did you do that? I don't know what we call that defense, but there was like a lot of guys over there. I didn't see like there was anybody over there. But for him to process it, that thing was right. He came back the other day, whether that was cover 60 of the day comes. I mean, what you guys call the covers was, but it all happens differently. I've got guys that for two years seem like they're just, you know, they're really struggling. And the light bulb comes off and you don't want them. They've got it. Everybody has different learning styles. Our job in the evaluation processes to kind of find those learning styles. So, you know, they're cognitive learning, they're an auditor learning. Do they learn that field? Is it more a field guy? A more film guy, you know, it's all different.

4:16:06And I think we have to keep hoping and prodding. And for us, his coach is, that's the challenge to him. What is the defense learning style and how can we do it today? Because education basically is just a transportation knowledge. But it really doesn't matter what I know or what I know, it's a matter of what they know. That's always kind of what we're working on and studying and thinking about, kind of where we are and how much can they handle. And then how much is too much? You know, because this could be a great plan. I agree 100%. But if you don't be able to get that, then why is it in? And that's this whole feeling of process that we're all learning also learning. And what happens is they have identity, so the coach is running quarterbacks. And it's something you always sort of lean toward. Or is it, you're by your case by case. What advantages do you like about? Because all your guys can run a little bit. Yeah, I think running quarterback causes problems for the defense. So when plays, right now, the unscheduled plays.

4:17:08If you just go back to recent Superbowl. on that last hard to too big place from a home from a potential home is not the better. Annie's not calling the design quarterback runs for Pat. But when the defense matches up in place two men in terms of their backs at the quarterback, well, maybe the best decision is to take off. You know, the second one is the knockout. You may score. You know, a lot of guys go on their own, they want to hoax like. And there's time for you have time to understand if you do a real quarterback. When we talk about the best ability, the best ability is available. You know, you're not the one who's shoulder to take with you, come on. We are always looking for quarterbacks that have the ability to run. We're not looking for running backstattings. So you're not going to see us 20 times again and we're running the quarterback. There are people that run off at six miles and are really successful with it. But with this group we have right now, that's not. Now they can't hurt you with the feet. Little didn't when he was at case they, you know, they see that into a couple of times today. Air took off a couple times today. Lincoln's a really, really good athlete. Julian can run. We're not calling the design quarterback runs.

4:18:09You're not going to see, you know, like the tremendous amount of respect for companies in the LAC. And you're not here. The straight T as far as we go, we are not going single way. So we are not going to snap it and run the quarterback. I saw quarterback by myself. But it is, it's another weapon. It also keeps defense's eyes. You know, for defense fans, you're going to continue to mend. And the quarterback closes the ins on the edge and is even first down. Well then the defense event has to stay outside and continue to court. Well then we can run the ball up and the end of the ball up. Sometimes in our running game our quarterback really is a blocker. He's responsible for a defender, the defender was cheating and was fitting in on the run. And then his responsibility is to make the defense be honest. And that's really, er, did that a couple times today. And we had a block that's taking his face in there. So we're going to take off our own head. What happens in the next bit of defense is wider. And we're going to get through it and change the end of the ball up and running it. Coach, thank you so much for your time. And thank you for being a blocker. Thanks. Thanks. So maybe 42, whatever against Youngstown State.

4:19:09I'd be so upset coming out of the game. But seeing how violent this game is from this perspective, now you have to say, hey, okay, not only within games can we keep guys fresh. Right? But can we do that so that when you get to the last few games in the season that act that are the big ones. Right? And then you get to the ones that you're judged off of when you get to the game. Are we healthier? And I think that's it's kind of a both a both hands, right? So I'm still confident with five guys. And that's going to be a week to week. You know what I mean by these guys? No, I think honestly, who start to be week to week? If you display during the week of practice that you're locked in and somebody else has a bad mental week. Well, I can't reward you with starting if you have six mental errors during the week. You know what I mean? Just because you started last week. And you've got to be that iron sharpened iron constant competition through the whole fall. That was something that Dave Gorn and I just would be doing it. But kind of a huge, he just alluded to. But is that part of which one has to drive you then? Was it driving you then? Then you just assumed that was a kind of a case when you played anyway.

4:20:09I always felt when I was here that they were trying to out-refruit me. Which is the reality, right? Yep. Which is why it prepares you so well for the National Football League. That's why Ohio State prepares you so well for the league. Because now it's like they're trying to out-drat you. And so I use that as fuel. But I also thought firsthand, you know, like there was a season where it was John Kerr, Marcus Freeman, certain guys rotating week to week. And so I thought like should if it happened to them, it could happen to me. So I just try to be a certain way in practice. Like I tell the guys all the time you have to control the things that take no talent. You have to eliminate all the loves. Like if you if you loaf on the field, you're a traitor. Like you should just go play for the other team. Like that can't you can't be coaching effort. And then you can't have mental errors. Because if you have a mental error, then you can't trust you. So those are the two things I always have the player who was like, all right, you're not going to catch me loafing. And you're definitely not going to catch me not knowing what I'm supposed to do. I might get beat. And that's inevitable. It's football. Everyone's on scholarship, right? But those two things you control, everything you do.

4:21:10What's the next step that you're going to be doing in this season? I think it's just the end, you know, we haven't done like any of my series. You know, we know you can tackle and all that. But I think it's just the repetitive grind of a football game from in the box, the constant. And he's been he's been willing so far, you know what I mean? As far as his hand placement has been good, even more on the strike. He's tough. So it's just continuing to have him challenged to there's plays right now where he's seeing it from the first time from the will backer. So the next time he sees it, maybe a throw catch tackle is at the intersection. You know what I mean? I've seen it before from that perspective. Everything he's seen before this has been from top down off the shelf, right? So now it's dropping back, that'll be sliding. So he's made great progress and I'm really happy with how son he's done. James, look at that recruiting. This is like it's going really well for you. Honestly, you can't talk about specific recruits, but just overall how do you feel like that's going in? Are you enjoying your food? I am. I am enjoying it.

4:22:10I think it's fun to build relationships and get to know so many different types of kids, you know? Ohio State presents opportunity, right? And so many different ways. You're not going to get developed better anywhere else in the country. You have the largest fan base, largest alumni, major's opportunity everywhere, right? So you try to just explore, like explain your passion for the school that did so much for you, you know, especially being an out of state kid, not being from Ohio. And then realizing how much Ohio State changed my life. And so now you communicate that to other young kids who kind of see it and try to tell them the vision, like where you can get to. And I think the fun thing for me is that most of the kids that I'm recruiting are way more athletic than I ever was. So it's like, I tell them if I can, the only way I survived in the NFL eight years was the fact that I had football intelligence, like I knew where I was going.

4:23:12You know what I mean? I knew where I was fitting. And so now if I can impart that information on kids who are extremely athletic, well now you're not, you got something special, you know what I mean? How much of you guys have this step already talking about the long season and the need to play more guys? Well, I think yeah, you're going to have to have depth. That's just the reality, right? If the longer season there's more games. And there's no excuse that a place like here, like if you're all on playing with a maybe a guy who was third or fourth, that doesn't matter. You know, like you got to be ready to go. So I think depth is crucial at all of the positions. Because injuries are going to happen. There's part of football, you know? You never want to wish it upon anyone and you're certainly not. But it's just you can't be naive to think that you're just going to have every single starter healthy for the whole season. You talked about your mentality as a player and then you're recruiting different players than you were. How do you, how do you marry that when they made that same mentality that you need is what you want them to have?

4:24:13Well, you figure that out when you get to know them. And there are certainly some kids that you start to recruit to where you see like, you know what? Ohio State might be too big. It might be too big for them. You know what I mean? And so it's not for everybody. You have to want to come in and compete against the best and realize that you have to win every single game to be the best in the world of what you do. And that's the expectation that Ohio State. And that's certainly not for everyone. And that's okay. But you have to through the process kind of find out who has that mentality, who really craves football. You know, like who craves football versus a lot of the other fluff that kind of comes with it? Who craves ball? Because when they crave football, then the other stuff will take care of itself, right? And we'll just keep getting better and better and better if they want to be the best. Two more questions for Dave. Yeah, I mean, I think that's your job as recruiters. You got to figure out what's the mindset of the kid. And are they serious about football? And you have to talk to the people that are around them. And you got to figure out how to talk to coaches. You just got to try to figure out like who loves ball. And they had a felt they do the same thing, right?

4:25:17Now they're attending the massive amounts of money. And they're saying, okay, we're going to get this person money as a change their motivation. Or they still love ball. So now it means college is the same thing. Like who actually wants to be the best or who just likes the attention that comes with playing football? James, I've already talked about it. Can you tell a little bit of the elevation from our bell from end of class? Obviously, missing time last year with the injury. But where he's at now versus the expectation that he had to move this way? Well, I mean, I've shown a lot of progress. You know, most importantly, you know, mentally with the playbook and everything. I think our bell. Last year, there was a couple things, right? Because of injuries on the D line and camp. You know, he moved to end for a little bit. And then we brought him off the ball and then he had an injury and he kind of missed some time. He wasn't an early mid-year. You know, so he comes in right in the summer. And so he missed some reps there. So the see where he's at right now is extremely impressive. And for a guy of that size and that much power and his ability to run, he's a special athlete. And so our bell is at a good spring. He's got to continue to dive into the playbook and got to continue to learn all the little things.

4:26:23And as you go, right, like week one, week two, you start seeing new schemes, new schemes, things build. And it becomes kind of a lot. He's just got to continue to comb through it all because athletically, you know, he's one of the most gifted guys that we have in the room. I know, and I will probably make sure his foot is on the deck. What has changed? I think you've been recruited to now that you're working for me. Like, are there other mental differences you've noticed? No, I think it still comes down for the most part. Like, NIL is certainly an aspect for some. For some, it could be the most important thing. It's always a factor. But I think you still just need to find out who are the kids that love football and they want to be developed. And it's about the relationship to an extent. Like, a relationship gets you to the final stretch. For some kids, I don't know, I might do the thing that pushes them over the top. I mean, I don't know. Like, every kid is so different, right? I try to view it as you're just building relationships. And are you going to get a young man to trust you to develop them? And to not only the player that they want to be, but the person that they want to be in the future.

4:27:25And can you convince mom and dad that you're the right person to do that? You know what I mean? So I think one of the things that is helpful is my playing experience. I think, you know, when you've played and you've done it and the drills that you're doing, you know that they work. You're not going to waste your time on stuff that doesn't work. And then the fact that, you know, I am blessed to be at my alma mater. I know there's no sense of trying to leave here. You know, and then you have the question, I get a ton. What do you see yourself in five years? I'm like, where I'm sitting? My alma mater. You know, my kids love it in Columbus. Obviously, I love Ohio State. So I think those are things that can kind of be in the van. Okay, but I know you've been working with, you know, with TikTok and Club Teens as well as what's that that's like for you and your soul? You get to solve it up there. Yeah, it's awesome. Maybe I love it because it gives you an opportunity to coach the whole team. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good.

4:28:28There are people that spend the most time, time resources, energy, they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. You know what I mean? Like special teams in a spot where the whole team probably minus the quarterbacks, right? Is all in one team room, in one meeting room. So you get to actually directly impact other positions and just your own. And I think it also gives. It gives a little bit of urgency to your own room. Like when you're in there every single time, you better be making an impact on pun. If you're a linebacker, you better be making an impact on kick return or kick off kick off return, put return all those things. You better be making an impact, right? Because your coach is in there all the time. So it's been nice. And there's a lot of stuff that I think our coaches have done to kind of push that that sense of team when you're in special teams that we every position matters.

4:29:30I'm curious if someone has been a VNF. What do you think? What VNF is doing to make a kick off now? And even if it could be good for college? I mean, the thing that states it takes away like the surprise on side, you know what I mean? But all these rules are changing so much for the safety of the game. And I mean, I think it's only a matter of time before it triples down. It seems like everything triples down. So we'll see. As of right now, we'll keep things going the way they are. All right, James, thank you. Thanks, guys. Everyday. Oh, I mean, we had this finisher at the end of practice where I had to make five in a row and going all the way back to 50. Yeah, it was actually the people who came to end it. And yeah, I had to make five in a row or we were running. And so we got it. We ran. But we ran one.

4:30:31I did one time. Yeah. Yeah, for a little bit. You know, you always been a performer in those kind of moments. And I felt like I got the team down. But at the same time, I knew that those guys had confidence in me. And I actually talked with my teammates, Jack and GTE and those kind of guys really, really got around me. It really helped me. But as a kicker, you kind of just got to wipe it clean and go to the next play. But yeah, you definitely want to make those kicks. Is that something that you had to process? Like a weak soccer or is it just something that you got over a big game? It's something you have to get over a mid game as a kicker. You can't let their last kick affect you. So just trying to get through it and get through the game. I knew I could have made that kick. I mean, it's just one of those ones that got away from you. But you always look forward to the next one. And you always have to correct your mind and get ready for that.

4:31:32I'd probably say the same as last year. I feel just as confident as I did last year, even though I didn't get too many attempts from deep to show that. But still feel just as confident as last year. 55, 60. Yeah, right around there. Right in there. Yeah. I'd say every kicker is true. That's every kicker's fate. I mean, you saw the guy from FSU a couple of weeks ago. That's my buddy, Ryan Fitzgerald. Really, really great kicker. But everybody wants that opportunity to show everybody what you can do. What do you also know? What did you mean from year to year? Trying to become more consistent always. You can always become more consistent. You're going to miss every once in a while. But just trying to limit the mistakes and the misses that you do have. Just so that you can become as perfect as possible. I guess this is the way I would put it. I mean, the standard is the standard here. And even we didn't look up to it last year. So you got to correct it and get better. What is that consistent season? What worse? It's a lot of things. It's a ball contact.

4:32:32It's confidence in your teammates. It's trusting that the ball is going to be there when it's there. It's getting more down the field on your follow through. It's not falling through straighter. It's something I really work on this all through straighter this past off season. So a lot of my balls are going left towards the end of the year. So I had to correct that. And some of you can't really correct mid-season. You want to mess with it. But yeah, I corrected that this all season. Coach, did you say you want to have a little bit of specialism? Do you and the fellow players have increased your presence on this special? I don't have. And I really like it. I like Coach Day being around the specialist and all the special teams. It's just was more involved. It feels of a higher importance this year. I think you guys saw that in the first game. He's done a great job. Him and Coach Keys and Gunner Danners. They've done a really good job. So yeah, I feel I feel it. It's good. Where do you specifically feel now? Like where does that show up do you think you have a coach name and a higher goal? I think the fact that he's paying more attention to special teams.

4:33:35He's seeing the good things that we do. And so he has more confidence in us to put us out there and give guys like Joe a chance. And you know, he pays more attention to things like that. So it's better for us so that we can thrive in those situations that we didn't thrive in last year. And he has the ability to put us out there because his call is a final call. So yeah. With Joe, your folder or football camp always got the guys who started in Punder was also the starting call. Me and Joe got a lot of work over the off season to get him there. And it's not always who the starting planner is. It's just that he's the best at holding. So we got the job. Well, you're done every good job. Second year and being here exactly. I mean, me and John are like I said, me, John and Joe are like three best friends off the field. So we work a lot on stuff on the field and nobody's around. And so yeah, we've definitely built a good camaraderie between the guys and yeah, I love job. Great guy. How does it make a difference for you guys and me and Tim stay and we have a position called you.

4:34:36Is that more to really invite you to come to the team? It just, it makes you feel like he has more confidence in you than he's putting you out there because he's watched it a lot more. I know for sure on the kickoff reps, he watches kickoff coverage all the time. He loves to see the guys running down the field. And we actually made that a really big point at the emphasis this past game to run through the goal lines. I joined my teammates running through the goal line. It was pretty fun. I'm not sure to help you guys, but now there's only their coaches in Rob and Gunner from the other side. I mean, Gunner was out there last year, but he couldn't give us coaching technique critiquing on the field. But at halftime he would, he would talk to us and Gunner played at BC. He was a long snapper. So he provides really good insight into kind of like a, I would compare him to like Brad Robinson. My freshman year gives you good insight. It's kind of like a veteran guy. So like when things aren't going your way on the field or you're not playing up to the level that you want to, he's kind of there to calm you down and tell you like, hey, like I've been there before, like the veteran guy even though he's a coach now.

4:35:37So yeah, it's very nice. What is last question you guys? Rob brings a lot. Man, he's, he's been having a coach. He brings a lot of pressure to it. He makes you feel that every kick really matters. He's really good. He, um, he definitely helps with the coverages. The covers has been much better this season than they were having to have to cover. Yeah, but you can just tell from the guys running down. They're a lot more passionate about it. There's bigger emphasis on it. Thank you, Jay. Thank you. Thanks guys. Thank you. It was just the, um, the first two weeks this season, yeah, like I just said that, um, it probably was the best way to play. I didn't take back from my want to be out there in the game, like, but you know, guys stepped up, competitive excellence, guys executed. And so now I'm just grateful to be back and doing what I can. It's just a frustrated player and a coach who knows what's best for him.

4:36:45I thought I was good to go and a lot of people told me I wasn't. I was like, what do you mean? I'm fine. And then coach said, you know, talking off the cliff a little bit, but, um, it's just, uh, trying to protect, protecting me for myself. You know, I have a, uh, blessed through the opportunity to play a lot of ball this year. And so it was just like, look, man, let's calm down for these, these weeks. And we'll get you back after the buy. But, uh, I wasn't the most happy camper in the world for, uh, a good minute there, but it is what is reprintable. How's that the one that's playing for you, Pat? It was amazing. You know, as a senior, I know I only have a limited amount of opportunities left to play in the overshoot. So just running out of the tunnel, you know, I've never, never said I'd take the game for granted, but, you know, knowing that I like the number of times I have to do that's winneling down, kind of waiting on me those first few games. And so just, uh, playing the game to the highest levels, fast as I can, and just, uh, you know, taking it all in in the moment. I mean, when it happened, I've been lying, I've said, I mean, I wouldn't take the route,

4:38:03uh, heated off-season, but like, um, but like I was like, oh my gosh, like what happened, I was like, oh, and it was kind of a moment of like, okay, like how long is it going to take? And then everyone's like, as I am trying to do, like, we don't know, like everyone's body heals differently. And so just, uh, just trying to, you know, put good things in my body. So, um, I heal as fast as I can, trying to get, like, I've been rushed, doing everything to train, I've done it to, doing everything, coach Ryan, coach Dave told me to do to try to, um, heal as fast as I can, and we're right on the field. So, there are moments of uncertainty. You definitely remember that, if everyone's feeling differently, I'm not sure if you know, or what you're hiding on the young lady, or going to the department, and going to the department, and going to the department, you're feeling bad, but I think you've been a session to come back, and then you're going to come back on the hard and the first few days, and then you have to be with that, going to work, maybe, uh. Yeah, no, there, there were definitely moments of frustration, I'm not going to lie about that, but, uh, our training staff, uh, you know, Stu, Solo, Sean, Tyler, um,

4:39:03Carl, the Kelly, always people in there, they told me to trust the plan. They said that they've seen this type of thing happen numerous times, and they know that it's going to take a lot, but like, you, you're going to go in and drop the heal, and so it's, you know, think of it now, it's kind of funny, but in the moment, I was like, don't tell me that, but it's, uh, you know, it is what it is. Yeah, no choice, what do you think of? I think it played great, you know, um, it's, uh, that competitive, excellent. Uh, that we talked about here, you know, making plan, you know, was called, and Austin, somebody was called, and he didn't look fantastic, you know, it's always great seeing, um, young guys, that sound old saying that, but, um, awesome going out there and doing the same, you know, we, we all know we could do it. There was not a doubt in my mind, he was going to go out there and show us, but, uh, it was great seeing, uh, 67, uh, I'm feeling. So we got a new way to be in his ear, uh, you know, leading up to those games. I don't know if it mean, you know, giving tips, whatever you want, college. Yeah, I know, I would, um, you know, make my voice known here and there,

4:40:04but he's already on his stuff. You know, I, I do like little new on things, like, I mean, like, like, if he does this, he might do this because, learning from my mistakes, I was like, hey, like, he can do this, so he don't make the same mistake I did. But Austin's a fantastic athlete, you know, he's strong as not. And so he did fantastic doing what he does. Well, the team of you, he just much time between, you know, who's ever in your little malady and coming back because time heals all. I mean, it was it was that thinking was that hard to grasp it, sitting out with the baby tough and the long run, the right thing. Yeah, those, those are difficult concepts from the grass. You know, I've always been a stubborn kid. You know, my mom, but, um, you know, patients, patients hasn't always been, uh, my thing. So when it happened, I was like, I'll be back in two weeks. And in two weeks, Canada, I was like, it's the hurts. But, um, but, uh, it was just, you know, trusting the process and only with the, our, our chain of staff, um, knows what they're doing. And they knew they're getting back on the field. And so, now that I'm on the field, just keep on going.

4:41:04Yeah, 100% less weight. I feel happy. Feel great. What do you guys have on a lot of experience on this line when you add a guy like, uh, with that level of experience? How much does that help in that center position? And he has so much. Yeah, you know, I'm very, very upset. I would say that the tip of the spear of our offense, I would say, they'll be like, if teams play us, they're not going to come out and exactly what we think they're going to do. Because that's just, you know, game plan. But, um, set, set communicates throughout the entire, almost down to the snap count of what we have to do to make sure all guys on the same page. There'll be times where, um, well, in this cadence, and he like yelled at me like, hey, we're going over here. And so I know that just follow what he says and then we're going to make a good play out of it. What do you make of the rotation and the weight of your experience? How does what are the pros and cons? Maybe? Well, um, it's a great coach for our question.

4:42:07Um, I just played a left guard. Um, I know that I know that both guys are very talented. I know that when they're in the game, they're trying to prove themselves. And so just having to compare the fight and guys getting after it. And, uh, as long as we move the ball and get to the end of it. And I don't think anyone cares who plays it. All right. None of the thank you. Thanks, all right. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Find us. Find what we know that was going to happen. So tears are just smarter. They know not the dollar. You know they quick screens, quick passes, but if they hold the ball, it'll be completely different. Did they just pay the entireASSIDENT to put their funding into this? Yeah, it's frustrating, but, you know, it is what it is, you know,

4:43:07We cut out half their game play just by being exposed to the line, Like the ultras. Well, what did lighty come on from TA? Hamilton last couple of years, you know, What's different about him is approach etc. I say tie is definitely more of a leader now He leaves the whole D line the whole interior. He's he's that head guy you go to if you need advice for anything He leaves as a great example for the young guys Yeah, he's almost like this Simon partner a little bit, you know, but he last year especially he seemed to be in the right place at the right time along Right that's not a trick. I mean, it's what you call that maturity I Say it's just his dedication to the game. He he takes things serious the way room You know his diet is everything He's top of the notch on recovery Yeah, everything you need is a player What's different about you three years ago? I mean right now She did you get ready to this season? Obviously you want to stay healthy? Things like that. Where are you better as a player? I think I'm better everywhere. I'm not trying to be like a big headed

4:44:09But I think I've taken a big step since last year and you know, I think the whole D line has and I'm just ready to show it next time I think we're going to be the most disruptive group in the nation And I said definitely knows what he's doing as a high-Q you know Strong like he's stout. He's not like a pushover He's a great player and glad we got him How do you kind of see him lead that line? I mean, I say he knows what's going on. He tells other people was going on if you don't know the play ask him He's kind of that guy like he knows everything he studies a lot strong fast It's a big dude, but you know it's good work. I think of the damn glad

4:45:13Glad he's that guard He's a better position for him and he'll be a great guard in the future Mitch is playing basketball on grass is what coach J called he has a unique style that cannot be Reciprocated within anyone he's just he's a different Will

4:46:19You the Oh You were identified as Leo, you know, you know, you know, you know, by the club is taking the lead. Yeah. They have big plans for you, right? Did you know they do since then? Uh, yeah, I definitely saw some, uh, likeness to my ability to be a baby, Leo. So I definitely was excited to get into that position and do what I could do best. It's a point of the best of my ability, but of course those things change. You never know it's an expectant system of house, they're so I'm just gonna get a grind over there. We got to watch you excited. We're gonna give you more time to share with you. You see, you'd be playing on a hot level, they feel like that's everything they're in the spring in situations. What did you feel going really right? Yeah, I think for the majority of the spring, I've been feeling more confident in myself and my abilities. Even with everything that's happening in the past, there's something to have a lot to

4:47:22give and a lot to give in this program. So I think that kind of showed how Saturday where I just, uh, let loose a little bit and just play until this morning. Can you take time? Yeah, I'm here for sure. I think it definitely took a second to just trust myself in my body because the past double years it didn't help me. It didn't help me out in the best way, obviously. Yeah, I mean, it's just like, it is very mental. I found just like every day, just like counteracting the fear or then like doubt and like my body's in the whole thing. I mean, my mental ability right now is really different. You feel all of my deep thoughts today? What exactly are you here for? Your year's time when I was in? Yeah, I don't usually get that. Um, yeah, I do feel home. I think it's the past two years. It's definitely been learning her, but I think now, more than ever, I'm definitely comfortable and learning about that and what I need to do and like my skillset and I've been talking into coaches about what it looks like for me to be the best possible version of myself in this position to be. I think the biggest thing in our group is leadership because we have a lot of guys like

4:48:28you said in our room who have been battle tested, so to speak, especially come up in this spring and in this fall, we just need to be the anchor, as if it's a unit and needs to show up every day. Yeah, I think that's really important. You always like to play a lot of guys like you. Rotation, you can feel like a general. Especially with this new season, I'd expect that, but you guys can see it. You don't know until it happens, I'm just curious to see what's going on with this season. What is it that name and why can't you name it? All these old guys that came back and got off the stream. Yeah, it's like a little brother, big brother, that I do. You know, a lot of the guys have been there. I just want to help out and bring along the younger guys.

4:49:29It's definitely a process and times, but I think the love we share in that room is very, very strong. And with that, I think it helps us get to anything and any challenges that will come in as well. Which maybe you already asked this evening, but that's what I was going to say. Yeah. And then you get here and get into this point. Yeah. You finally kind of maybe get that beautiful experience. It's a blessing in a second. Because a lot of guys in my position, not the same injuries as so I'm coming back. I'm just thankful that I'm here in the best university in the world and the best training staff. And they got me to this point where I can be back to healthy and better than healthy. Because I feel like I've better than what I was. It was humbling, I think, to do anything for me. I just, because I remember coming on a holiday, there was nothing but a dream. I had the dreams of being the best version of myself doing all the things you know, the accolades, the things I'm doing. It took me by surprise, the force, but I think it also gave me a lesson that I really needed. I needed to grow until better version of myself.

4:50:29I think the journey was needed and it was a blessing to me. Do you have a question? Do you ever think about... I can't do that, man. I love the sport too much to do that. I love the guys around me. I think that's the biggest thing that brought me back. It's just like, I can't do it to them. I know we have what we can be on the field. So it's like, I'm going to do everything I can to get back in. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy, and their dedicated, their lives to be becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEOs' words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. I'm just trying to go day by day. It's hard. This is what I found myself as always.

4:51:29Like, going to the future and thinking what I'm going to do. This thing, or next day and next day. It's just like it's overwhelming. It's like, gave me stress. I think for me, it's just worrying about some harm. And next day, it's like, it's for me. And then doing whatever I need to do, whatever skill I need to sharpen. And then, it's like, what do you have to do? Definitely last season. I think it was kind of hard to, like, trust it last season. But I still think my body was at a human sense. All right, Mitchell. Thank you. Thank you. You guys, you get a great play. And that's what the trade is already going to be. I think what Ty Lee can, you have to appreciate what Ty Lee can kind of did last season. In the middle. And to go back on his way here to take those guys to a great job of managing. And that's a little bit of a help inside. So what you want to get out there, you want to get past rest.

4:52:30So you don't want to take those guys on. You're going to be like, you know, I'm telling you, you can rest your passport. And you're tied. You're going to get a tie to rest the kind of stress. So that's the thing that we should point out to the rest of the past. Play your mind. And you've got to bone this in third down. And leave that big guy to get it out. So we're going to talk about it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're not chasing sex. We just chased on to get double parts of it. But I think the most important thing, the contents of our defense, how we have to play in the final defense. We can do it and tell you, well, you know, I'm okay. I'm not the sex. That's just a number. Because when he games, I'll change the subject. For the ball, there's three steps five, six, seven, seven. I'll give you a question. I'll say, give your hands, match your hands, and we'll knock it back. Those are the kinds of change things. I know when you do, you're going to get more rest satisfied. You can do the sex program. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it.

4:53:30You're never satisfied, right? You're never satisfied. You're never satisfied. You're never satisfied. You're never satisfied. You're never satisfied. You're not the way you're at. You're getting a team to prove it. I think our guys have done a great job. This spring, we're going to stand and this fall, we're going to stand at this sack. I hope we get a good question. But he really did ten things in the office. The office came again, saying, you know, we're like all these guys right, but the ball can't control that. Full of king draws, control the throw. It's nice to hear. Hopefully we can get a shot. What will you do, Tier is soon runable. What do you think of the teams soon running the ball? So it really depends on the game. We can get going, I think that seems a good passage. What is the joy of coaching a veteran defense of front and what is the challenge? I think the joy is the fact that those guys are all the guys now have seen the look up to. Now a year ago we didn't have that. We didn't have a guy to set the bar. Now the jacks and D-teens are tightly ready to do a great job. I'm setting the bar for good. So that's the bonus point. So now you can lay on the fetch and set up the bar. Now the key is to stick in the system. It's a unit. It's a group. It's the biggest thing to make it stay consistent. Give me a play or a play heart. You know, if you say we have talent, talent is on a small part of what we have to do. It's a build and play heart. And play the heart and it's on top of the right.

4:54:30Talent is that. Nice for him to believe that. And so now to get those guys to play very hard, the runs of the ball, everything I heard is that. And that's what we're trying to write. And we're trying to understand the points. You know that the match, the hand can fly. It seems like Thailand could get probably more exceptional than most of the top of the field. How much of that is natural with building the eyes versus the stuff that you got? Well, we do ball. You know, he's got a mat for it. But we do train that. We call it mat to the hand. We do drills every Tuesday. Take a great blow. It's part of our dream of seeing plants. But he's got a good sense of eye hand coordinates. I'm going to ball this time. And sometimes this is best enough. To me, those are sex. We need to affect the ball. Turn into an assumption. Pretty cool. But yeah, that's something we train. And he's got a great, great field. We have a challenge time. It's all season. It's hard to get a very positive feedback. And we've got some good things to see. You know that? I just said that the tattoo you got was like yeah, it did really well. Yeah. We challenge them all. It was just not one guy. You know, we don't train just one guy to train all four. Or 16. We do the same concept. So I think everyone has

4:55:30some good questions. We don't take time to the sides. We just don't know that he's part of our unit. And I think he's put me doing a strong, powerful he just comes into his two blocks. Every time he gets a progression, it must happen on seventy degrees. Then, he just bangs on his абсолютно points. It must be, accounting and becoming aware on a set of those learning franchises when people are in such a big foundation in order to work with the further out of a phase where he's going to volunteer 1003- donate based on what workers and the KJ and Paging both different players, but they play in the same way. And KJ, bounce from the style, and the KJ is right behind it. So I think they got a bond, that they're really built together as two players going through the same thing. Now they have a chance to really make an impact. Do they look like one or the other now? Yeah, I think they're ones. I don't tell those guys or two, they're ones. They gotta be in a tillap. Which is a different thing. Really, and it's just the same boat.

4:56:31We have five men's, I think, really. And we'll walk in and play in the one or the other. I'm not worried about these guys. You can just trust them. You mentioned Mitchell's weight gain. Like, is there a difference now, the meaning last year, from the beginning, that full-fledged defense of them, when you put the guy in front of the line back there? Oh, no doubt about it. You could only actually throw your pile in the two-six, and then you can play it one day. And he's really, he's gonna play in a six-tank thing, play on top of the tie-down. He's gotta be able to do that. That's the thing I think is the improvement most of all. And that's from the strength of him. And he feel really confident where exactly I got this up. He's a bonus, he's not a great job. It's a good amount of time. That's a secondary like this. Do you think that's a lot of? Oh, no doubt. You know, Russian and college work together. And you've got a very secondary play man, getting a whole new ball a little bit. Certainly, that's a lot of it. It gets hit hard, I think. You guys in the back, you know, some great jobs. Does that change any of your messaging, your coaching points, and camp? Or is that more about, are we creating any gain preparation type of thing? No, it's every day. Every day process, we've got to say.

4:57:33We've got to address the passability of that, which I know it well. But getting there is really tough. And then we can fact, change the throw, make it essential in the back. I think that's important. We try not to look behind us. You know, maybe we should make sure eyes are focused on what we can see at the front. We never turn around, it's all you call a ball. That's all not. That's all not. That's what you're talking about. I'm looking for a first quote. I actually, this is spring a little bit, but a different way. What is it about the Hamilton brothers? They come off as they're the longer they stay in contact. What did you put together that's common between the two? Not the difference. It's a process, right? Everybody goes through a process. And I think the long end tie is kind of different, what's same. But they're gone to very, very old-grade students. And they understand the court and stuff. They want to do it. And I think the tie came back because they realized that I guess the unfinished business. I think there's a mark on that he's still there. He's just done a great job. What is the much we have added to? He puts it down. He's playing a lot. Like, tie late.

4:58:33And tie or the TNT brothers. What are they going about today? What is the luxury of that? Where do you think the church there want to say? You don't get that every day. That's right. It makes us better. You could stop them from the inside out. And you got to see the speed of the schedule. Indeed, that's the most guys to know. Great job. They're hats, hands, and a physicality. And a line of scores. That makes a different point. It makes our ends much job easier. You have the guy you can imagine. OK. OK. What's that? It's hands. It's a solitude TNT. I still like the rushments. What does Jesse name a captain? How have you seen him? Yeah, he's been a phenomenal man in the house. He's been different. I can say a lot of ways. He's focused. He's really locked in a way. He wants me a great player. And every day he's some feel this way of practice. To be a captain, you'll hope he got a special. How does it work to be a brother? I know you've been running a business. Yeah, that was pretty sweet. I don't know what I was going to chance to talk to him. So I'm going to have to understand how important it is when it happens. People cry. The emphasis is still unbelievable.

4:59:34It's real great. And Jack, thank you. But yeah, what a great, what a good hour. We'll land this last question. I've heard in the news, just as much of the style, it's very interesting. Yeah. How would you describe that? We call it playing basketball address. We have a basketball class. We have that in a crossover, more basketball, and I was just sad. So you can pretty simply just say this move is handled. Say, it's a great job. So as you need, it's fast. It's how many people you can hear. It's looking forward to it. I bet you guys are proud of the work you're always putting into developing that type of Russian spots. How much to bring them to the guy with you who has to freelance everything? How and then? What happened to so much? Well, it is what deep ends of the scheme we're in. You'll have them do that all of it. They'll try to let them do that. Take advantage of your success. Helper form. So we can make them go in a couple of those of our tablets. And that's what we might do a little bit of that. Let's discuss what we have. Goat, thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, appreciate it. Yeah.

5:00:37I think we had our moments where we kind of got selfish. If anything about wanting to make a play that we kind of got out of our defensive line mentality and the Russian mentality, this is rushing four guys kind of caves of pocket and keep that quarterback in that little shelf. But other than that, I think you did a great job. And I think it showed in the stats. And we saw a lot of things that improved on the push. But yeah, they were good. The results of times of last year were getting games and flash. About to the rapid little screw. Does it just matter if you're not getting one to take it? Have you worked with physical years? And see what you could do in a short break? Yeah, I think, yeah. Some of it was like, you know, it's kind of like my freshman year coming back. We didn't really know how much I could handle. I'm like, how many plays I could handle at a certain amount of time. So it was just like kind of trial by air just seeing what I could do in the short amount of time that I had it. But I definitely think there was more trust to be had on the coach's side with me. So I think that definitely came into the spring into this fall camp, you know, doing all the plays and doing a lot of

5:01:40repetition of those plays and getting, you know, really home doing all my play with the things. Talk about feeling well being out. Maybe you don't have to hobby this kind of situation. Is that still ongoing with the training that was nearby? Yeah. I am a training room as much as I can. I've been in there. I believe I leave the facility with like five different body parts. I stop. But yeah, I think the biggest thing is just saying consistent. That's probably my biggest challenge going into this fall camp was I'd have moments like that where you said I'm flashing but it's like where I stay consistent in every single play and doing my job every single place. I'm trying to continue to work on it. It's just the depth of defense. And your own kind of clear backup. Maybe very technically back up. You got a jack and get the sword with jacks player and JT's and depth of defense. That's really good. Yeah, I personally think we're one of the best team or best groups in the country. So I think it's great to have so many guys because you know, it's going to be a very long season. And we're going to leave a lot of rotation.

5:02:41So I guess even when Jack and JT came out of the game, that standard is so I have to be upheld. So that's really what me, Kaden and I, KJF, are trying to do everything. I'll bet. It's going great. I'd say he's very, he's been, I feel like he's found himself in a humble kind of space. You know, I'm saying where he's kind of took a step back and just like put his head down and worked. Nothing has the same to be said for a lot of the freshman here. That's really cool to see him motivating see from the young guy like that. We think this defense will be known for, you know, to be in November. Would you think that will be? I think we'll be saying that. Thanks for watching us. You're still on here. I know what you mean is just kind of hard to frame because I'm not there yet, you know, but I just hope that we're known for doing our job and playing at a violently high level each and every staff going as hard as you can each and every staff. If that's what we are, then I think we can hang our heart on that for sure. Mitch, how much more do you think everything? Oh gosh, man, who you telling now? It's definitely like those injuries, like I said, it's probably one of the more humble experiences

5:03:42of my life. And it kept me grounded. You know, I really realized like this is not something that is going to be here forever. And I'm not going to be playing the sport forever. So I just really got to be blessed and thankful that I'm even in this position right now coming back from those injuries and saw the opportunity to play at a high level, which I am. So I think I've definitely found myself really trying to stay in the present as much as I can because it's not always guaranteed, but I'm going to be able to do what I can do. I think. I think. Yeah. Yeah. It was definitely hard. Definitely had a lean on some of my loved ones, my family members, my parents, just to like really understand that this is what I wanted to do. And of course it is now. But yeah, it took a second to really just like how to understand what it really took to get my body right. How to recover, how to, you know, rest right, do everything I can to that I can stay healthy for long. It should work for you. I'm going to. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone did.

5:04:44Yeah. What is that that still means to you and then. For like how do you instill this is how you want to be trained to watch everybody who had already done it before? Yeah, I think it turns into motivation. If anything, knowing that. A lot of the guys before us got to that point and succeeded and stayed there. So that level of excellence has to be like solidified in each rep that we do. And I think that the leaders of this team have really tried to hone on that every rep and every practice. We're trying to like understand why we're doing it and what we're doing the force. I think even that on the forefront of our minds and every day and every practice is the things part getting back. Yeah. I mean, yeah, we understand what's happening these past couple years and all the things that we haven't done. So I think this year is definitely like kind of a redemption in that right. Understanding that, you know, we've fallen short and we haven't met our expectations and, you know, it takes a lot to get there.

5:05:45We understand that and it takes more than what we've done. So I think finally, you know, taking that next step and doing everything we can intentionally will be the biggest thing. That's what I talked about. Thank you. Thanks guys. He brings us Saturday and, you know, he's putting a lot of hard work, you know, super team first guy and an excellent plan for a lot of things. So I'm really excited for him to be able to feel Saturday. Yeah, finished last season the way you did. How much confidence did that give you that this year? Yeah, I think it gives me a lot of confidence. I think for a lot of guys that we start playing, you know, our best ball, especially on the defensive side of the ball. That's second half of season. And so we're just all excited like I said, you know, you know, just chomping up the bed to get the Saturday. You know, we can't wait to put the pads on and be in the shoe with the, you know, 100 plus thousand fans and, you know, put on a good performance. Yeah, we get to say that your previous defense

5:06:47was a perfectionist. What is that? What was that? Yeah, you know, we talked a lot about shout outs and I'm not going to say that, you know, that's the expectation. But, you know, we think that our defense is good enough to go out there, you know, and win the game for us. You know, there's none wrong with saying that because that's why we all came out. We came back to be the best defense of the country. And I think that, you know, the expectations got your super high for us. We had a whole bunch of high standards which we have. And I'm just really excited to see, you know, it all come together in a game for me and against somebody else other than our offense. We're a couple of you, black friends, really close to that. They only just feel who they are. Who's going to try to have a better time together? Yeah, and that pissed us off too. They're getting them three points up. But, you know, we're a really excited for opportunity to, you know, hopefully get one of those this year. As you really feel. No. Hey, Jack, Jack, Jake T. How did you see growing just in the last several months? What do you see about him from the desired standpoint? You know, I was asking him that he's kind of a possible ask me out. I have a Penn State game everywhere. Yeah, I say so. But we're surprised. I mean, we're surprised that it differently, I guess, going into this season.

5:07:47Yeah, I mean, he's just, you know, JT's just, you know, he's taking that next step. He's super focused in, you know, this whole offseason. We've been really downed in and trying to pinpoint stuff that we can get better at. You know, specifically attacking it and really trying to, you know, focus on and get better on those things. I think that he has. He looks great, you know, this whole fall camp leading up to this game. So far, this game prep week. So he's definitely taking, you know, huge strides. And, you know, I think a lot of people would give him unfair criticism too, because they do all expect to have a Penn State game every game, which is, you know, it's one of the best defensive games I've ever played. So it's unfair to say that, but he's been consistently one of the best defensive games I've had in the call of football if you turn on the tape. So I'm really excited to get out there with him this year and, you know, we're going to have a go by the edge. You move the expectations for both of you guys. You all came in. Yeah. You feel like this is the year it comes to fruition from the standpoint of dominance. I don't know. I don't know if that word, you know, what's your sense of that? Yeah, I mean, no, that's something that we talked about. I think that's something all four of us and, you know, really eight of us on the D-line talking about is, you know, being dominant.

5:08:48You know, there's no ceiling to how good we can be this year. And we know that it's all about us going out there and doing it. You know, we can talk about it all day, but until we go out there and do it, you know, it doesn't mean to damn things. So, you know, we're all excited to get out there. Maybe we're hungry and, you know, I've seen this at a different level of determination, you know, the chase greatness. And I've seen this in that bin here. So, you know, like I said, we're just, you know, we just can't wait for Saturday. I know the question is, you never know. Yeah. But you're playing a team here. If you play against the dad, you get a number of numbers. You have a number of names. You're definitely in the team. What's the challenge when you, you're not going to be in the case of the way. Right. You know, I think the challenge is that, you know, we're playing an opponent's coming in our house in the shoe this week. We only get eight shots up in the shoe. And we've got to make everyone of them count and accurate to get a football team. You know, good, good head coach. I believe he was the offensive coordinator for Oregon when they beat us here in my freshman year. You know, so they're going to be well coach. You're going to run their offense well and, you know, play good defense.

5:09:50So, the us, you know, in Coach Day always says, it's never about our opponents always about us. You know, if we're executing on the high level and playing fast and physical, then, you know, things will take care of itself. So, we've got to get a opponent and accurate and, you know, works out of playing the Saturday. You're on here, early on, it's not actually a tough life. And there's a more difficult experience. It's more of an emphasis on our dramatic plays. You know, the one you guys playing, the one you're more sound, I guess. The sort of thing. This year, Jim Nol has talked about opening up, opening up, and getting more brushes. Is there more of an emphasis on attacking the one in the swimming pool? Yeah, I know I think that, you know, a huge emphasis this fall camp, and leading up to this season is to, you know, kind of let us play more downhill, more free with less thinking. So, I think that's been great, honestly, the last few weeks and, you know, in the camp as well. So, you know, I think that we are going to, you guys are going to see a more downhill team. And, you know, more of us coming off the edge, if we can have one of you guys all want to see.

5:10:52So, I think that, you know, we're really excited to go out there and, you know, and, and, and, and, and, and roll it out there in place. So, you know, we're really excited for that. Have you seen science theater yet? Did you watch it on Netflix? No, I haven't watched it yet. I got no comment on that. Where do you feel like you've grown the most personally from where you were in your year? I think that this off season was big for me and, you know, to give my body right. I think that, you know, I don't really like to talk about myself, but I think that I'm a little more exposed than I was maybe in years past. And, you know, I'm just really excited for the work that we put in. I think all of us have grown so many different areas with our hands and hips across the defensive line. So, you know, like I said, just, just super excited for Saturday. What do you do more questions in your life? I just want to get a little more leaner, you know, really work on that. And, I just work on my technique, you know, my stance, my get off and stuff like that of that nature for the defensive line. So, I think that I have, and I'm excited to put on the field center. Jack, what's the big difference between the guys sitting in the chair right now

5:11:52and the fresh-based kid that came in four years? They're not like on the field stuff that you learned, but off the field that maybe even translated on the field. Yeah, I think that when you come in here and, you know, you're an 18-year-old kid, just sleep in high school that there's a ton of things you can learn, you know, just as becoming a man and on the field and the woody as well. And that's why I tell all these young kids now that, you know, you have to make the main thing, the main thing, make people the main thing, and, you know, and everything else will take care of itself. So, I think that, you know, coming in as we were all highly recruited to, you know, didn't help with our expectations and how it really, how it really goes in the first gig here. So, I think that, you know, when you get, you're used to starting and playing 80-staffs of games and you're five years old when you first gig here and, you know, you don't really see the field muscle, the freshman kind of, it kind of takes you back a little bit. But, you know, the growth that we've all had, you know, we're all just laughing about that. Actually, it's a great question because me and Tyler, you can JT, we watch the field muscle, and bust from our freshman year, we're like, holy shit, we came a long way.

5:12:52You know what I mean? So, you know, it's been good. Being able to, you know, grow up with those guys and, you know, see the maturity level that we've all grown to. From our freshman year on the football field, multiple football field has been great. And, you know, it's funny that it comes full circle. So, it's been awesome. So, it's been awesome. All right, thanks. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Thanks for sharing. Honestly, just trust our scheme, trust our defense. I like our players a lot. So, when we have that match up, whoever has that match, we just have to get one now. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So, what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. lose money. lose money. lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredicts.com to learn more.

5:13:52What do you feel like you can help with that, you know, being a member of that match up? Yeah, I mean, I go out there and I cover. So, they don't really, they put them out alive. He's not really in there. Pass blocking a lot. So, he's going to be, he's going to be seen out there with the nickels of safety. So, there's going to be a lot of times where we're going to have to cover him. So, it's our time to cover him. We're just going to go through our job. Merizo, would you play a lot of snacks, especially like last weekend? You still think like a receiver at touch? Yeah, I mean, I get a feel for routes early on. But yeah, I think just in my training, like understanding the route combination and what I want to do is I want to run on different down distances. So, tell me how? Or is fitting the run depending on the run against the C. What kind of stance about these running bags that are, it makes it hard to bring down? Yeah, they're big bags. They're both over 220. So, they're going to run downhill. They play with good pad levels. So, they're going to put their pads low. So, as they do, like a nickel like me, I got to just make sure I run through their outside lane. Get them down. What does through your mind when they're with you? Quarterbacks on the hill. Same time. I mean, nine. They've actually split him out a little bit.

5:14:52So, he might think I'm a little ball a little bit, but 15, we have to guard him or whatever our style is. We got to go executed. I mean, that's a quarterbacks. So, we should make sure we handle that. How about Oregon games? How hungry are you guys to move yourself in another top five game? Definitely. I don't really think it took the Oregon game to wake us up like that. But it was definitely, I mean, it was part of our season. So, we got to scope bounce back over our as a defense as a team. Keep use that to ignite a fire in us. Sure. One of the leaders of this special teams unit. What do you feel like you guys are at right now through seven games and where do you need to be at? I mean, I think we got to continue to get better. We don't really have any blocks yet really. We don't really have any touchdowns on special teams. So, we got to make sure we got to be game tutors in that space. I feel like we got to continue to improve. Anything else for Lorenzo? Hey, buddy. Thank you, Lorenzo. I'm.com.

5:15:54We have talked to you since the Oregon game. For starters, how is the hand and also did that impact anything that you were able to do carrying the ball while you were dealing with us? Yeah, I want to give a big thanks to our athletic trainers here. They helped me a lot. And you know, nothing's tremendously like we're all in my hand or anything like that. I still was able to play today. So, big thanks. Over to the left. Cameron T. Robinson, the athletic. Quinchon, when obviously the dog launch changes pieces a lot right now with some injuries. Does that affect how maybe you see holes, how things go up front or in the run game when someone keeps their changing it out? I think especially when you have new guys in the rotation, they have to get used to the tempo and how things go up front, especially in the game tempo compared to the game. You know, walk through different things like that. So having those guys mentally dialed in and getting those reps that they need. I think that's the biggest part. But it's not anything that they couldn't handle.

5:16:55Over to the left. Katie Kapusta, Spectrum 1. Can you talk about how that last drive by you guys really gave you confidence maybe going into next week? And I rewatched the route that you ran for that touchdown. You really schooled your defender and he lost his footing. Talk a little bit about what that was like. You were wide open. Yeah, so just an outside release route. You know, looking at the leverage of the linebacker, you overplayed throughout. So I cut it up and nobody was in that area of the field. So I just gave my back shoulder to the quarterbacks. So he threw the ball back. And, yeah, I think it just helped our team. I want to give a big thanks to our defenseman. They played tremendous today. You know, those guys helped us so much and just did their part. I mean, over did their part. So a lot of great players on that side of the ball and they really showed up today. Folks, we do have Ty Hamilton in the very back as well. We can start to wrap up with Cody Simon. Any more questions for Quinshaw and Judkins? If not, Quinshaw. Thank you very much. What you kind of call it a public set of meaning about thanking the guy.

5:17:58So how much does it mean that this team believes in versus the Alameda, etc. How the words are kind of stack up and this organization has that belief in you. So much. So I feel like that's just gives me, you know, just humbles me to know that my work that I have to push forward is, that's to be better. And I know I can be better and play better. And I just try to where my mindset is. It's just like, how can I even exceed this? How can I show my appreciation after on that field? You know, the fact that they believe in me and my teammates just makes sure I don't want everyone to let them down. And I know that with moving forward and stuff that I definitely won't. I definitely won't. Not won't, but just going to keep working and keep going. I'm just happy that they believe in me. I'm not exciting as it your locked up now for your attention. But you look at this young defense and a lot of these guys can be along for the ride,

5:19:01which you kind of move forward with its solid. Yeah, we've got a lot of young talented guys on this defense. And I think we're only going to get better, you know, even just moving forward. The way we've been able to accomplish things this year. And I feel like we still haven't played our best defense, you know, as a unit as a whole. I mean, people have individual stuff, but I feel like just together we can grow and get even better. I feel like that just comes with just more time. Because like you said, we have a lot of young guys and I'm just excited to be a part of it. And definitely going to do all that I can to lead and help us get to wherever we need to go. So you actually know that you still have a hard procedure to step before the draft. Yes. And you have a chance to reflect on how you have overcome it. You told yourself back then that you can be standing here and it's good to believe that we're calling you. I don't know. But honestly, I always believed in myself and, you know, my family helped me with that so much.

5:20:04Just always believing in me, always telling me what I'm capable of and helping me along. I mean, like shout out to my mom for everything that she's done for me and getting me to this point. Yeah, I mean, I don't reflect too much. I only like to move forward because I feel like this is just like a starting point for me. And I know I'm going to grow for this, but I mean, all to that credit, I reflect with my mom. And I'm sure she'll help me out with that. What could have been the moment, say, like what are the next steps that you want to take into yourself? Yeah. Pro Bowl for one, being an all pro outside linebacker, being dominant. And really holding myself up to the standard that was set here. I feel like with Vaan and the Marcus Ware and even Chubb and just want to keep going and keep working. And I have this new motivation to keep going now, so just really excited.

5:21:10We get work so that we can get more coverage to receive, to get profit by the rate of how important it is to get back to Shunty, get lunch and come face. And I'm not going to be sure if that's a chance. Yeah. I'm not going to be spotted that I need to make sure it's a very little change. Yeah, it's just getting back to work. Knowing that the things that we've done have been good enough to this point is just cleaning up the little small things. So this is going to happen as league. You're going to get punching your mouth every now and then. But it's how you respond to it. And I feel like our team has definitely a good mindset to show that our response will be strong and solid and yeah, I've got full confidence moving forward. And I'm going to ask you guys, was either of the two of the most unique quarterbacks in the last two weeks in the war and not in the civil war? How did they differ probably similar in what the challenges are? Well, both two top quarterbacks in our league. Obviously, I mean, both MVP, Caliber, guys.

5:22:11We all know how decorated Patrick Mahomes is and easy as just a phenomenal competitor. You know, probably the best competitor in this league. And you know, that means every time we face against them, we're going to get some more Sunday. You have to have your best because you know, you're going to get that from him. And I know it would be ready to answer that. How's it going to ask you? You have to contract and then also to trade the bearing. How do you want to give him what kind of money to have for each other? Yeah. Barren's been my guy for my teammate for eight years. You know, for a past this, you know, and even our time in the league. And I was really hurt and really sad to see him go. But I know it's a good opportunity for him. And I know he'll take full advantage of it. We all know how talented Barren is. Fantastic football player.

5:23:12Fantastic dude, man. That's my brother. And you know, I wish him all the best. I talked to him before he went. And I know he's going to go there and ball. So I'm just excited to see what he does. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And he has two thirds of people on CalShe whose money? So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy, they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And he has two thirds of people on CalShe whose money? Whose money? Whose money? That's CalShe in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. www.fairpredics.com We have talked to you since the Oregon Game for starters. How is the hand? And also did that impact anything that you were able to do carrying the ball while you were dealing with that? Yeah, I want to give a big thanks to our athletic trainers here. They helped me a lot. And you know, nothing's tremendously like wrong on my hand or anything like that.

5:24:14I still was able to play today. So big thanks to them. Over to the left, Cameron T. Robinson, the athletic. When the dogs of lunch change a piece of the lot right now with some injuries. Does that affect how maybe you see holes, how things go up front or in the run game when someone piece of their changing it out? I think especially when you have new guys in the rotation, they have to get used to the tempo and how things go up front, especially in the game tempo compared to, you know, walk through or different things like that. So having those guys mentally dialed in and getting those reps that they need, I think that's the biggest part. But it's not anything that they couldn't handle. Over to the left, Katie Kapusta Spectrum 1. Can you talk about how that last drive by you guys really gave you confidence maybe going into next week? And I rewatched the route that you ran for that touchdown. You really schooled your defender and he lost his footing. Talk a little bit about what that was like. You were wide open.

5:25:14Yeah, so just an outside release route, you know, looking at the leverage of the linebacker. You overplayed throughout, so I cut it up and nobody was in that area of the field. So I just gave my back shoulder to the quarterbacks, so he threw the ball back, pot line. And full. Yeah, I think it just helped our team. I want to give a big thanks to our defenseman. They played tremendous today. You know, those guys helped us so much and just did their part. I mean, over to the top part. So a lot of great players on this, I heard a ball and they really showed up today. Folks, we do have Ty Hamilton in the very back as well. We can start to wrap up with Cody Simon. Any more questions for Quinshaw and Judkins? If not, Quinshaw, thank you very much. It made plays every day. We break it down on playman for so that's a mindset and we believe in it. Sean mentioned that too. The outside linebacker played a big role in this defense. What is it about this defense? What's it about this defense? It's an episode so much. I think maybe it's the way Coach VJ uses us in the defense. I think that's the question for the defense coordinator. I just do my job.

5:26:14Speaking of how nice is this to have this same defensive staff, you know, low-sleevely with VJ back? It's nice. You know, the second year in the season is obviously better in the first. So I think we've been embracing it. Like I said, the Toronto-Media Correction is from last year and just be better. Sean was talking about there's some kind of mental awareness that goes to the batting come passes. And knowing when you're not going to get to the quarterback. How do you just talk about that as a defensive line as a mental side rushing group in terms of techniques or how to work on that only? Yeah, we do some of the drills in practice. We haven't kind of restarted them yet, but those some things you drill in practice. Obviously, you know, if it's a quick game, you're not going to get there. So you know, just get your hands up. I think it's just more of a field thing. Zach, in particular, seems really good at that. Are you sure it includes that he does well in that area? No, yeah. Zach is definitely good at that. You know, I think that's something that the interior is very good as a whole. Just even hands up. Barry, what's the bigger impression of Jonah Ellis now with a few months working with him? You know, Jonah got a lot of natural skill. I think his upside is very high, but I mean, like any work, you know, there's a learning curve from playing coming from college and NFL.

5:27:19So I think he's just continue to develop and continue to get better. I mean, I'm happy what I've seen, but I mean, obviously I know he has high expectations for himself and not only him, but I hold units. So I'm just like I said, excited seeing Keep Growing. It was the most challenging aspect of that learning curve for you and he came into the air. Or really, I guess you're too. I think the biggest thing was switching from inside to outside. I mean, inside you five yards off the ball kind of versus edge, right there with somebody in your face. So just kind of learning how to just that change up. And I think just learning how to, you know, get off the ball, you know, inside you have time to read outside. You don't have that much time to read. You have to be kind of very decisive. So just getting reps of that, you know, that was the biggest thing to have me. And I think that it would be something to have wellness to just getting reps and more reps to get the better here. Darren, can you talk to your relationship with Jonathan Cooper and tell you guys about how you're from Rotary? Kind of forms your relationship up front? Oh, yeah, that's my dog. I mean, I play with him four years in a higher state. So I think just, you know, being in the place, like a higher state together and going through that hard train in and then making it out on the other side, you know,

5:28:20I think we just able to hold each other to that standard. And I'm afraid to hurt one another's feelings if we don't hold, lift up to that standard. And he know how to push my buns. I know to push this, but it's so, you know, I'm grateful to have him as a teammate. And it's very, very good to get to play somebody from your college. How much are you experimenting to do this time here, especially like with the defensive bands, just in terms of how you want to rough shop each other, how you communicate and all that? I think this is just the time you learn to rest as a dealer. You know, this is a perfect time for us just to learn how to rest together. You know, we meet together. You know, you ask the guy who's to your side, you know, what you're thinking on this play and film. So you just kind of get a feel for it when that scenario pops up on the practice field or in the game. And just creating that dialogue is, I think, it's the biggest thing. And asking questions. So. There any other back to screen drive on Sunday? Can you tell us a little more about it? Yeah. Don't hold it against me if I can't say too much because I've been focused on training camp. So my public is in an agent's kind of been doing a lot of the leg work in my mom.

5:29:21But yeah, we just are going to have a big event out here Sunday. I believe up there in the parking lot. They're going to have a cone of ice machines and some junk houses. We're going to be donating backpacks. I think over 150 backpacks for the kids for the upcoming school year with supplies and a bunch of different things. But just trying to get the kids excited for going back to school and obviously helping out families. It might not be fortunate enough to buy their kids the supplies they need for school. So just trying to do what I can to help out my community here in Denver. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEO's words.

5:30:21I just kind of like the, I kind of wore the wear when I got what I was in high school. But I mean, it was open when I got here so I was like, of course I'm going to take it. I know it's a big plus, that's what I got to know. So I was like, you have to take it. So you've heard the parents stuff? Yeah, I see it a lot. Who do you think you like that or you just like I'm behind that? I mean, it's cool. I mean, I understand how good he was and how much legacy you left here. I mean, I just want to be my own person. I have to live with anybody else in the city. But I understand how much of a legacy you left at the time. We talked about where you from since you arrived last time. How much of a shock was it? It was gone. I mean, it was a pretty big shock. Just the adjustment from high school to college. Especially that with that six months, with that six month window, I really had like been out all season just working out. Just coming here, adjusting to college, speed, tip other things. It was a pretty big shock. Is it feel crazy to think you have me to take care of all of your kids? Yeah, I think about that on time. I'm like, if I were to got here last year, when all of them committed

5:31:22and really made your and release came, I probably would just not be in season. So it is pretty presently. I think, well, Coach Harry will always tell me, like, you do have a lot of cash enough to do. But I told him, like, as we were down in the winter, like, I understand what he meant by that. When you look at last season, what did you take away from back here? I'm maybe not getting on the field as much as I wanted, but I imagine there was not a growth. Things like that. What we should take away from the pressure. Just understanding how the games go, how the college players, the tempo, how fast it is. Now, running from a Mecca, I felt like a Mecca was a pretty solid pro, even when he was here last year. And I lied a lot from him. Like I said, understanding just the playbook more, just the tempo around our offense, and you can like that, a solid learn. What's your relationship about with your mom? We're pretty close. I said we're both. Neither of us are too, pretty unspoken, but I mean, we're pretty cool. I'm tight with all guys receiving news. It's just interesting because you got here early and such a big impact. We're developing. We're going to have an effect together.

5:32:22I guess classmen, it's like a list that we've done in the future. Talked together. Yeah, it was so good. Like you said, I think I heard last year had a amazing impact. Spuceless as a person, but, yeah, I mean, it would feel pretty good, just both of us in the same class that had been so strong kind of impact. It's been like watching bright hard like, and stepping into his role. What do you think about him as often? I like it. I feel like he's more aggressive, but I like it. He still does a great job focusing us up, even though he doesn't. Maybe he happens much time, but I do feel like he still does a great job with us. Understanding he has to do with us and the whole offense, he's hit her into them. He talked about other guys, definitely. Guys like that, how much of an impact do you, other coaches make? Helping to keep track of the receiver and the scanners. I needed some of the older guys. I think it's going to be a part of the cool one. Yeah, I feel like Coach Jordan, man, the older guys, the veteran in our room, will be a good job of stepping up and Coach Hard is not available. I feel like Coach Jordan did a great job. People who have my first back or last year just had the extra meetings with him. Outside of our already meetings, having extra meetings with him.

5:33:23He's learning more, just taking away from him. I feel like he's been doing a great job since I got here. What do you think of the pressure that I've come in? I think they're solid up. I just took a receiver and a decal. Yeah, I think they're solid. I like all of them. I feel like they all can grow definitely. And they all, like, I know what they're feeling because of what? Because of how I just got here last summer. But I feel like they're all doing a great job. Do you have to remind some of those guys, just because we've been here a long time. You think we're too much further ahead than you guys? Yeah, well, yeah, kind of. But I'm not really considering myself like a young guy anymore. Since I've been here throughout the summer and the season, I kind of just trying to prepare myself to be a bit almost. We're not really a younger guy, but I do try to be like a better type of person to the young guys. When did that start? When did you stop feeling like you're going to be a guy? I'd say really just, just the upcoming of the spring and the winter, I feel like I learned a lot as being in season last year with the team.

5:34:27I would have a big role and just take a bigger step with the team in the office. So I don't want to just consider myself like anymore. Saturday's practice just seemed like the competition between the receivers and the foreigners is so classy and watch us how talented those sides are. What would have you thought of that quarterback room and the way that they battle against you guys to try this? Yeah, yeah. It's always like that. The eye is there. I mean, it's their local. I mean, it's always like that. Even when people aren't here to see, we go back and forth that almost every day. So I mean, it's not new to us. It's just a standard of the eye ever zone suits. That's it. Who's the best flash talker on the other side? I'd probably say I'd be here to take me. They both did after their men. Do you feel like the return game is a place you need to make them practice here? Yeah, I do feel that way. I have did a little bit of a permuturting with some of our returners. Drawing the spring, I feel like I could have impacted it. How much easier are you forward to being in the shoot? Saturday being part of the offense. Really, for the first time as a partner. Yeah, I'm excited. Just to actually get the step foot and actually get rolling in the shoot.

5:35:30It'll be a great feeling. I'm pretty excited for it. Our veterans, they know what it's about. What college football is like. So just getting them learned from those guys and like, learning the techniques and the ins and outs of everything. They've done a great job with me. Kind of taken me under their wing and really pushing me to be the best I can be. But it's definitely a great room. We got a great bond. But overall, it's been great. In that tight-in room, he's done great. Coach Windy and Coach Han have also done a great job. What was it that made you want to come up here and be a provoked ball? Yeah, it wasn't an easy decision. It was a long decision. It's hard leaving home when I've been living there my whole life. Growing up as a student or fan, that's kind of like what you had to do when you're in front of Norman. But I knew I had to do what's best for me. And just the amount of effort that they put into me during my recruiting process was something that I haven't gotten anywhere else.

5:36:32They proved to me that they were going to produce me. And that's what I've really been feeling so far. Overall, it was a tough decision. But I knew that Ohio State was a place for me. Do you feel like it's the biggest crazy throw in so far? Yeah, I feel like in the weight room, I feel like Coach Mix done a great job. It's such a working machine in there. Everything is technical. You're not just going to do something just because it's everything's done for a reason. So they've done a great job with me and producing my body and changing it so far that I've been here a little bit. This is a very homeroom type entry. What's it like being taken in by them? Yeah, they've done a great job. They knew I was a young guy. They've done a great job being leaders with me.

5:37:33Just kind of taking me under the wing and just making sure I'm doing my stuff right. We're getting extra work in every night at five o'clock. They're making sure I'm good for the next script the next day. They always do a great job with me. I love the ball that I've built with them. Those are dudes I'm with every single day. So I've got to have a good ball with them. I've built that. But they've done a great job with me. What was it like for you coming in here in January and getting to watch this team complete an ask on the championship run? I've been looking forward to forever experience a national championship game and Rose Bowl. That's a bench for me. Being able to experience all those places and seeing what the team is like during that time period. It gives me motivation for times right now. That's what we're working for. That's our end goal. Overall it was a great time.

5:38:34Getting to meet all the guys. It was just a great time of my life. When you've been along throughout ride, how much does that make you even hungrier now? Want to go with one yourself? It really does make me way more hungry. Just seeing what those guys did and the amount of preparation that they put in. I feel like we really can go and do that again. Just having that, just being there and being able to see them do that really just does give me motivation. Do you already get specific goals just for your first year? What do you want to accomplish here? Yeah, just be the best version of me that I can be. Just mix it up as much as I can and just get as much quality time as I can. Thank you for your time. Thank you. I'm learning from Mecca. I felt like Mecca was a pretty solid pro even when he was here last year and I lied a lot from him. Like I said, understanding just the play with more, just the tempo, runner, offense and the solid. What's your relationship about the job? We're pretty quickly close.

5:39:35I say we're both. Neither of us are too pretty outspoken but I mean we're pretty cool. I'm tired of all the guys receiving them. It's just interesting because you got here early and such a big impact. We're developing now. I think you're going to have an effect together. I guess classroom is a little different from what we've done in the future. Come together. Yeah, it would feel good. Like you said, I think I had here last year had a amazing impact. Spuces as a fresh one but yeah, I mean it would feel pretty good. Both of us in the same class that happened to Sam cut it in. It's been like watching Bright Hardline and stepping into his role. What do you think of his offense? I like it. I feel like he's more aggressive. But I like it. He still does a great job of coaching himself. Even though he doesn't maybe have as much time. But I do feel like he still does a great job of us understanding he has to do with us and the whole offense. He's hitter into them. He talked about other guys. How much of an impact do other coaches make helping to keep track of the receiver and the scanners? I needed some of the older guys.

5:40:35It's going to be a part of the team. Yeah, I feel like Coach Jordan, man, the older guys, the veteran on the room, would be a good job of stepping up when Coach Hard is not available. I feel like Coach Jordan did a great job. People who have first back here last year just had their extra meetings with him. Outside of our already meetings, having extra meetings with him. He's learning more and just taking away from him. I feel like he's been doing a great job since I got here. What do you think of the pressure you're going to come in? I think they're solid up. You talk about an RC room, but just out there. Yeah, I think they're solid. I like all of them. I feel like they all can grow definitely. And they all like, I know what they're feeling because of how I just got here last summer. I feel like they're all doing a great job. Do you have to remind some of those guys that just because we've been here a long time does it work too much further ahead than you guys? Yeah, well, yeah, kind of. But I'm not really considering myself like a young guy anymore. Since I've been here throughout the summer and the season, I kind of just trying to prepare myself to be a bit almost. We're not really a younger guy, but I do try to be like a better person to the young guys.

5:41:37When did that start? When did you stop feeling like you're going to be a guy? I'd say really just just the upcoming of the spring and the winter. I'm going to feel like I learned a lot as being in season last year with the team. And that like I could say, I would have a big role and just take a bigger step with the team in the office. So I don't want to just get some of myself going anymore. Sederace, probably this is the competition between the receivers and the foreigners. It's so fascinating to watch us how talented those sides are. What would have you thought of that quarterback room and the way that they battle against you guys to crack this thing? Yeah, yeah, it's always like that. The eye is there. I mean, it's their local. I mean, it's always like that. Even when people aren't here to see like we go back and forth and I almost like every day in the practice. So I mean, it's not new to us. It's just a standard of the eye ever so seriously. That's it. It was the best dash talker on the other side. I'd probably say I'd say fear to take me. They both did after their. Do you feel like the return game is a place you can make them back this year?

5:42:39Yeah, I do feel that way. I have did a little bit of a permanent turning with some of our returners throughout the spring. I feel like I could have impacted it. How much is it going forward to being in the shoot? Saturday being part of the offense? Really for the first time as a partner? Yeah, I'm excited. Just to actually get the step foot and actually get rolling in the shoot. It'll be a great feeling. I'm pretty excited for it. First, I would like to give my condolences to my friend, Chris O'Lade. He was just on my mind today. I hope he's doing well. He's a great person. Hopefully he's good to play a hard sport. Tough one. Really all the outside noise, fans and haters. We don't really care what they say because we go out there and risk our lives every day playing this sport. I just want to say he's doing good. Any questions? Jackson, just how tough is this one for you guys to process?

5:43:43It's one tough man. It's one tough. I hate losing. We all hate losing. When we feel like we had it in our hands and we had the opportunity to win multiple times. For us not to get it done and suck. Honestly. How much are you looking into this loss and the frustration and trying to move forward? Because you've got to buy a week and then try to turn the season around. What's that balancing? It's tough, but we've got to move forward. That's all we can do for what is our problem. I don't think it's hard to see. Which is executing and hone down on our assignments. And just get the job done. So out of it, we've got to buy a week, rest up and get ready for San Fran. Yeah, a couple of tough plays. The rest are on the fourth quarter that end to be an interception. But you're able to mount the drive down to regulation.

5:44:44What is your confidence that you know that he would bounce back and be able to reach you in a way that he didn't have final drive? Yeah, total confidence. I mean, he's done it again and again, honestly. Every time we go, we take the field. Again, the huddle. I know we're going to give our best effort. I know if we give him time, we run the right routes. We're supposed to do. He's going to put the ball where it's supposed to be. That's all we can do. But yeah, we have total confidence when we go out there. We just got to stop beating ourselves, honestly. You just had a career day. Well, I just want to know what you take from that. I hate losing. I'm saying whatever. I rather win 100%. My confidence level has always been the same. I know I could break out and have an amazing game whenever. But that's the wins that count. Can you walk us through the last touch down there that tied the game for you?

5:45:44I'm taking the big hit and everything. Yeah. Corner route, through a perfect ball. I had to put it really back shoulder for me to make a play on it. And just made a play on it. What about it? What do you have to catch you thinking about absorbing the hit of the tech in the ball? Yes, sir. I see my surroundings. Some guys trying to take your head off. So yeah, I do. But at the end of the day, when I see the ball, it's about the ball. And catching it, that's my job. I consider all those things, but getting the job done is first. What about the port that five has set that up? What do you guys see on that play? Port and five, some man coverage. I'm saying beat your man catchable. You know, man. Yeah. You good? Thank you. Welcome.

5:46:44I have a quick question for you. There's so much talk around here all year. All off season about Jeremiah Smith. Do people not talk it out in that game? What is the mecca of movement to you and your will? Well, since I came in with them, I mean, obviously I love all the guys in the receiver room. But I mean, I feel like I guess it doesn't really matter who gets talked about the most. It doesn't bother me at least. Probably doesn't bother much people, but now I just love all the, I love JJ, all the dudes in the receiver, like I said. But now I really don't feel like it matters to me at all. Do you think that the mecca's value maybe isn't discussing it outside of building up what he does in the room? I think people seeing what a mecca can do on the field. I know what he can do. So I guess I feel like it doesn't matter to him to be honest. Do you want to see the audience?

5:47:45I feel pretty confident. I feel like coach Har has a lot of trust in me since I've been here. Like you said, patience, time. I feel like we'll see what that can do. So it's coming up to the season. I feel like confidence for me. I feel like it has built up more, way more than what I had in the previous years. I think that's the matter. What's the cost of being this and what do you think you have now? Just consistently, consistently making plays down the field taking the time of the defense. So it goes down in the fastest way in the play with coach Har line. Putting down those mistakes. I feel like you were the first to do that. You've probably seen some high mistakes. I feel like the playbook and the mistakes I've cut down obviously for me.

5:48:46I've been here a lot. Most of the guys I've been here as long as I've met for years. So I feel like the mistakes are really the thing. When you did have the mistakes, how did you learn from them? How can you process that kind of thing? Just meetings every day with coach Har going through the playbook over and over and just working through that and to not make these mistakes? Jay, what are your questions for the No Clown, Joe Farron, Barman? Seems like we've got a little bit more comfortable. Is there a role? You know, all the quarterbacks together will. All the quarterbacks I haven't really seen no difference. I like them all. What about a Devin who will you think he ends up hard? Devin, like I said, all the quarterbacks I feel like they're all good. I go with all the quarterbacks every day throwing. They're all pretty good at my eyes. What was it like now that Joe went to catch the other day? It was just a few days ago. Nice, normal things. Yeah. There's been an uptake in intensively practice.

5:49:46We've got a number of young guys out there. And Joe and I have a job in an interview yesterday. How do you feel about that too? You know, they know a lot of experience of practice. You know, going forward. How do you feel about the competitiveness in practice? The competitiveness and practice with the DBs and receivers I've been very high since I've been here. At least it's a lot of good on good work, which is going to get us receivers and DBs to be better than the season. What do you think is the best trashed off there? Probably playing there. Very nice car now. Probably. Yeah. IGB, IGB, Dremain, Benzel, Tolozlo, two cents a man. 20 years. That's surprising for Dremain to be a trash talker. No, it's just certain guys. It's just who they are. Those three Dremain, IGB, Dremain, really have to try and talk. It's just good.

5:50:46I like it. Yeah. I appreciate that. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. Anyas, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. Anyas, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalShe, in their own CEO's words.
