2:13What's good, everybody? Happy Tuesday. Happy first day of Spring Football, y'all. Listen, yesterday was Spring Football Eve. Today is Spring Christmas, I guess? I don't know. Either way, I'm excited. We're pumped lots to talk about and we're going to absolutely do that. Do me a favor, hit that like button. Hit that thumb that you see, subscribe if you have not already.

Also, remember when you send those wonderful super chats, helps to go towards the pay it forward, which is our military and our first responders. We're going to look out for them because they always look out for us and about a buck.

3:16What's up? Happy Spring Football Day, brother. Yeah. Wow. You know, usually these spring football things, COVID, the first day, there's not much, but you know, this one seemed like there's a lot of stuff going on and they were jumping right in there. It wasn't just like going out there and stretching and handing out, you know, forms and walking around and picking your name for the team. We're going to be the flaming hot cheetos this year or something like that. Like they were, they were into it and doing some stuff and yeah, but exciting day, I was excited for Spring Football last night, but now that it's here, I'm even more excited. So lots of great stuff going on. Absolutely. I say, let's jump into these new numbers. New numbers. I know it's trivial, but it's fun to me, Nevada. And like you said earlier, ballers get single digits and we're going to talk about that. So let's go over some notable number changes or updates.

4:18Nevada, what do you think about Legend Bay getting the number two out the gate? What's your thoughts on that? Well, I mean, I think the heights real. I think, you know, you can say what you want about the single digit numbers, but the single digits are the most coveted numbers. Obviously, the most coveted number of all is one, but two is the next most coveted. And to have a guy come in, and he's not even like using a transfer portal kid. So it's not like it was like promised him through them. This is a kid that was in high school last year, come here at the given number two right out of the gate. And I mean, you can't help but think of it like part of Samuel or some of the other, you know, single digit number guys or kind of gadgety guys that played wide receiver, played winning back. We're using a number of different spots. And I think that's exactly what they're going to do with Legend Bay and I can tell you that everybody's excited about Legend Bay. Everybody's excited. And, you know, I think that the work that he put in during the the the winner is noticeable

5:25because, you know, he's noticeably thicker. He's noticeably stronger and there's really they've got high expectations for him. And that's why you kind of go out and say it's for high expectations, but that's also by the given number two. So definitely it's something that for sure. Yeah, Ryan Day was talking about the criteria for getting numbers that you want. He mentioned, you know, like champions and how did you do with making the workouts, leadership, you know, being on time, you know, all the little stuff. And so yeah, I mean, he was already turning heads today, you know, looking fast and explosive and all that man. So very excited. Now on the flip side, I was a little surprised, not in a bad way, but I kind of like the 97 on Kenyatta, man, that's Bosa, like a Bosa number. It's a great defensive in number. What's your thoughts on him flipping the number two? Now I like it, but I was still like, eh, I don't know what you think.

6:26Well, I mean, you know, it's it's one of those things where I, I mean, I like the traditional numbers, but then sometimes you want to stand out. You want to be, you know, let me look. James Smith has got a single digit number. You don't see that much from defense, from defensive tackles, you know what I'm saying? And when's the last time you saw a defensive tackle at Ohio State, a true defensive tackle in a single digit number? I mean, I can't remember to ever. I'm not saying I'm, I'm saying it hasn't happened, but I can't remember it. Yeah. Now you got me thinking and every, and every guy I think of is a single digit and like, nope, they're not a detackle. I'm sorry. It's a defensive end and not a detackle. It's tax season. And by now, I know we're all a bit tired of numbers, but here's an important one you need to hear, 16 billion dollars. That's how much money and refunds the IRS flagged for possible identity fraud. Here's another one. One in four honest, hard working tax paying Americans has been a victim of identity theft,

I mean, what number was Alonzo Spellman? And I guess, and you could make an argument for him being a defensive end though, you know what I'm saying? Because he was all over. He was all over the line. He was a god of amongst her. But he might have been a second. But let's put this way. It doesn't happen often. 99. Okay. He was 99. I guess I got the opposite. He got the opposite of a single digit.

9:36The only number would have been Ireland would have been if it was 100. You're like, uh, right? You're number 100. Oh, um, I mean, like James Smith, number four, like holy guacamole, that's pretty crazy. Actually, he's number, is it, I think he's three. He's three is a three and a waiver law is four, yeah, but yeah, like, yeah, I mean, that's wild, man. That's just wild. Yeah. I agree. I agree. So that's different. So the Bama boys trying to come in and, you know, switch things up a little bit. Petty John, number five, I was like, okay, okay, Petty John, um, that's pretty cool. Let me see what else other notable. No, right. Petty John, who's out for the spring with a minor injury being worked on, you know, a little surgical procedure, nothing that's going to hold them out, but out for the spring. And kind of alluded to it last night about some availability of reps at the lineback reposition. Yeah. So that's what we were talking about.

10:37But yeah, like Christian Allegro on those guys are going to probably get some of that kind of petty John now, sport number five, but we won't see it until the fall. Right. So hill up, get better, get back as soon as you can, you know, Petty John family is a friend of the show, uh, dev has interviewed them a good million times. Great people. I think he's a young stud and a waiting. So get healthy, get those mental reps. And also number three, McEwen, I've heard several, several people talk about how fast and good McEwen look today, including Ryan Day, Nevada, McEwen for those who don't know. He's the kid and shoot. It's such a small school. I always forget the name of it. But he was a standout. Go ahead. You know the school. You T San Antonio. You T San Antonio. He was a standout for them. And I know some people poo pooed it because it's a small school, but I'm telling you, there's been good kids who have come from small schools. And now in this portal world, these late blooming kids have an opportunity to step up on the

11:43big stage. And this kid is good. And Ryan Day called him a pro called him and Kyle Parker from LSU pros is what he called them. That's a great sign. And knew they were experienced, but now they're at a house state. LSU is no joke. LSU is LSU. But it's still good to see them come in the first day off the gate in Nevada with some praise from the head man. Yeah. I mean, I think those guys can play. And Ohio State thinks those guys can play and they certainly look the part and I would be surprised. And I think Ohio State is feeling really good about their portal evaluations. Obviously, you never really know until you get deeper into spring ball and obviously into the fall. But early returns are, they're very happy. And that's not always the way it is. Sometimes they're like, uh-oh, we made, I made a boo-boo on this one. I can tell you, Victor Cutler, they were feeling questionable, like right off the from

12:43jump street. They were like, oh man, I'm not sure what we just did here. I mean, Ethan kind of was going through it kind of similar thing as well. But I can tell you that I haven't heard any of that this, you know, this spring, you know, over the winter into this spring, they're feeling really good about all the guys that they got. And specifically those two wide receivers, they're looking for those guys to make an intermediate impact. And boy, that would be a nice surprise for the those who wide receiver room. Absolutely. So real quick, before we get into any more players, I want to talk about, uh, now we knew Nevada, you, you told everybody a few weeks ago about, uh, map attrition. And how much you was getting paid. But now it's all out in the public. So map attrition, 3.75 million, um, in 2026. And then he bumps up to 3.85 and 27 and 28, three year deal. He is now the highest paid coordinator slash assistant in the country, Nevada.

13:46What's your thoughts on Maddie P getting paid and being the highest paid man out there? Well, yeah, I'd heard three years, 10 million dollars. So this is even a little bit, you know, marginally higher than that. But, um, hey, you got to pay the man. I mean, he came, the job that he did last year was nothing short of miraculous in terms of the way that he, you know, coordinated the defense, you know, lost eight starters and then, and then took the defense to even, you know, greater heights. Um, you know, also, Maddie P, not that this is a big deal, but Matt P is going to be one of the 10 cannibal coaches. So he's going to be on the road recruiting Arthur Smith is not. We've talked about that before Arthur Smith, um, you know, which is kind of the new meta, I think to get these guys to come in and take these job, you know, he'll have to slump it for a million and a half. And they doesn't have any recruiting responsibilities. Right. And, um, so, you know, Patricia's got a little bit more of a big Spanish job. But look, you know, Ryan Day is going to war with two X NFL head coaches as his coordinators.

14:49And I'm, he feels really good, um, you know, about the guys that he has and, and the way that they just conduct themselves, um, you know, the way, you know, they're maturity, they're experienced and, uh, the fact that Ryan can now go back to full time to being a CEO and let these guys run the room. What a great, you know, what a great blessing for him. But yeah, Matt P, 3.75 million, um, well worth it. And, uh, I'm sure that the bucket is probably even going higher, but you're well worth every penny. Absolutely. I love it. Um, it's great to head coaches as your coordinators. I don't see how people can keep playing that down. Um, I know we got to see what happens on the field, but boy, I'm excited about that, man. So kudos to a house. Stay for working it out. Um, he absolutely had options like Ryan Day was saying earlier, but they made this happen. They made it happen. And I'm very happy about it. So, um, transitioning back, I see y'all in the chat talking about Chris Henry Jr.

15:52And it was dope to see Chris Henry Jr. get his dad's number 15, right? I was good to see, and he also caught a nice, excuse me, 70 yard bomb today, according to Ryan Day and practiced. And then I saw some in the chat, uh, I think it was Matt Randall's, uh, talking about, uh, can you imagine covering Chris Henry Jr. and JJ Smith? Good luck. Oh, wait. So, um, I know. So yeah, I mean, I, we've been saying that all all season, um, we agree. And he, he looked physically the part. I know he's a, he's always been a wiry tall, wiry type of kid, but he, his height kind of helps balance that out. And he's gotten bigger. He's gotten bigger. So he's going to be a problem early, early, even if it's just, I mean, 50, 50 ball wise, he's excellent. Even put like this in about a, I said like this.

16:55Even if he wasn't six, five, he still has great 50, 50 ball skills. So if he was six, two and a half, I still think he would be really good, like a Devon Smith, Devon Smith was not six, five, but he was excellent at 50, 50 balls. So he's excellent with his height. So I see y'all talking about Chris Henry Jr. super excited about him. Uh, uh, Ryan Day seemed to really love what the receivers looked like today. So Nevada, what's your thoughts on Chris Henry Jr. I mean, we're in for a treat, we're in for a treat to, you know, Chris Henry Jr. with Gillian's ball into him and, uh, and JJ Smith on the other side. And in Arthur Smith, you know, uh, cool fence. I mean, you're in for, we're in for a show and, you know, everybody that's been around Chris Henry, I've seen Chris Henry play many times, um, he just doesn't look like anything that I've ever seen before at Y receiver, you know, because he's so big. Um, but he moves so well and he's a glider.

17:55He glides around out there. So, you know, I know he's not a four three, but I mean, he runs well. He doesn't get caught much from behind. And, um, to be that big and to have that type of a catcher, it is. And you'd be able to go up and get the ball. I mean, I, it, like I said, it's, it's going to be something. We're going to see something very, very special this year. So, you know, buckle up, get your, your chips and your drink. You can be ready to watch it because I'm not sure we've ever seen anything quite like it before. And I'm not sure we'll ever seen it in quite like it again, um, because I'm not sure when we'll have another Julian saying JJ Smith to kind of pair along with him. But it's, I'm going to be here for every minute of watching Chris Henry, you know, play that for sure. Definitely and look at him. Here's a picture of him, um, towering over everyone, um, not looking small. I mean, he's, he's still finished, but he doesn't look small. And so, yeah, he's going to be a terror out there lining up against, um, debees, you know,

18:58I don't know, it is the second corner going to try to line up with him, you know, is he going to draw matchups from the third, um, you know, corner, stuff like that. If you got JJ out there, Brandon and this in the slot, it's like, that's, that's going to be very difficult, um, to go up against your weakest corner with this dude as a true freshman. So I'm excited about Chris Henry, Jr. I definitely agree. But yes, Ryan Day seemed to be very, uh, happy with his first impressions, uh, with this Y receiver room. Now one thing I want to kind of pivot back to, um, and I know we're just going to be all over the place, but it was a lot going on today. So I want to pivot back to legend Bay, but more specifically the running back room, Nevada, because I know some people, um, are kind of, I don't want to say freaking out, but they're concerned about his comments.

19:58Ryan Day mentioned that he was concerned with the running back room. We all know that as a West and Bo Jackson are out for the spring. Those are the two leaders in the clubhouse would reps and experience and all of that. And so now you have turbo Rogers who did not play last year. As your most experienced guy, you know what?

I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. Um, I think I saw billboarded yours recently that said that 20 billion one. 20 million is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?

22:03Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound five two nine from your cell phone. We are always open or call centers always waiting to take your call. 24 seven three sixty five. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. Who, you know, who actually may play. And then favor Aki who's the freshman. And um, dad going to legend Bay, who is who's coming off a plan quarterback for his high school. And I was watching drills with a man. I'll tell you man, coach lock is crazy. Coach lock is a mad man out there. I've seen him coaching person. And obviously we've seen clips. But he got after legend Bay a few times. And favor because they didn't have the ball up high and tight. And so, uh, anyway, the point is Nevada.

23:06I know how I feel about this. But I want to hear your thoughts. Do you, how, how much do you read into Ryan Day's comments about his concern with the running back room? Or did you just like, eh, like, how do you feel about it? I mean, I, I, I think that it would probably be the same for most rain back rooms where you're missing the one and two backs. You're a thousand year of Russia from last year. I mean, how many teams wouldn't have concerns about that? You know, then you're down to running backs three, four, and five through the spring. I'm, I'm not concerned about it. You know, for me, I look at it. I always think in this particular situation with these particular resources that we have, we should be a past first team. We should pass the set up the run. And if, if concerns in the running back room or lack of depth during the spring or whatever causes us to lean more into our passing game, you know what? I'm all about that because I, I, I've always felt that the idea that, you know,

24:10we're not playing football in the 70s anymore. This is 2025. You can win past first. And, you know, I, I hope that they activate the quarterback run in a limited fashion, you know, because everybody else in the world does it. We're literally the only team in the world that doesn't run it. And our fan base is the most scared fan base. And then we'll, you know, what if somebody gets hurt? It's the fault. You know, somebody could get hurt. You know, this is, but you got to activate the quarterback run into it, lean into your passing game, lean into your short passing game, lean into your screen game, lean in, you know, throw it to your flankers, use Legend Bay and, and interesting ways. So I'm not really, you know, concerned about it. I think it's just the, it's a, you know, you have to, you're not going to get out there and say everything is great right now, especially when you're too returning running back to moisture or both sitting, you know, on the sideline. So I think it's, it's much to do about nothing. Yeah, I agree.

25:12Exactly. It's like, okay, it's like, what do you expect? To me, I think from Coach Dave's standpoint, I don't think he's hitting a panic button. I think he's trying to motivate them through the media and get after them, because you can imagine Ryan Day is on their butts, like, and on coach, like, hey, these boys got to step up. We need them to grow up fast because we got our two veterans out and we need them to step up. And so I think it's a motivating factor. You got two freshmen and a red shirt freshman who did not play leading that room right now. And it's the first day of practice. So again, you got kids coming in who have not had an actual house, they college football practice yet. So they're going to be sloppy. They're trying to learn, okay, where do I go? What's the pace of practice? How does, you know, Locke want me to do this? It's, it's an adjustment. And so, you know, most kids are following the leader in line.

26:15You know, the DBs, the young DBs were looking at Caleb Bounds last year. They were looking at, you know, Matthews. They don't got that right now. So they got to, they got to jump in and do it quick. And so, I agree, Nevada. I don't think it's a big deal. I think this running back room is going to be just fine. I think the talent is there. They just need to get acclimated to what they're being asked to do, especially with no veteran leadership in front of them in that room. So, I agree. Well, how many returning yards do we have? Do you know what I'm saying? Zero? I mean, yeah. I mean, they're just right. Ryan couldn't answer the question any other way. It was all, I feel great. You know, I mean, I feel peachy. You know, I mean, it's a very unusual situation where you, I mean, I, I, I, I, our leading Russia from last year has got to be Julian Sain. And yeah, you know, I mean, like, so we just don't have any yards

27:15coming back on that. Now, he, he did go out of his way, though, to talk about how deep and good the offense line was. And I'm like, wow, I wonder, wonder where I heard that. Right. Well, what a shock. Well, everybody panic, everybody panic. Yeah, that's like, I mean, you know, he and more is a super talented kid. That kid could play guard. That kid could play tackle. He could play all over the line. We just got so many kids, you know, Josh, but he is out with a little, a little procedure. But you've got so much depth on the offensive line. It's almost crazy how much depth they have in the offensive line. So of all the positions that people were, but don't worry about the offensive line. I mean, let's worry about other things, but we're not about the offensive line, man. I'm telling you, now, the defensive line, I think it's legitimate to talk about, hey, we got some, some holes. I think we can fill them. But the offensive line, we've got dudes and proven dudes with starts under their belt on top of that.

28:15So I have zero concerns about the offensive line. Yeah, regarding the offensive line, Coach Day did say Padea would be limited in the spring. So Josh Padea, who played well against Miami, he will be limited. So that's something, you know, to know, it's nothing major, but there's that. And then also one other thing on Legend Bay, Coach Day nailed exactly what we've been saying as far as a cop. We've been saying Curtis Samuel and Xavier Johnson, like literally, especially Curtis Samuel. So we were very spot on with that. And you can see it in his game, like that's exactly how we need to use him. Running back, we can motion him out to the slot to get favorable matchups against linebackers, or, you know, if they're in the nickel, the nickel DB slot corner who can't guard him,

29:17you know, I'm hoping Nevada. At some point, it's a little early, but I'm hoping that we install some plays where he can pass. He'll get it into round and throw the ball. Because no, he's not a college D1, college quarterback at this level. But he's good enough to throw the ball and be a threat. Like he's not a bum throwing the ball now. So I want to see all types of gadgetry with Legend Bay eventually. But for now, I'm excited to see him back there. And I want to see him get some reps at punt return. Well, yeah, I mean, he's a guy that you just want to see the ball his hands and there's many different ways as possible. And I hope we're not putting too much on the kid, but I tell you, Ohio State's excited about him. He's going to get a lot of activity this spring with everybody down. You know, now they're running back from Florida. They're running back from Florida.

30:18Yes. Jiggle Jackson. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that guy, he's interesting. He's interesting player and I think he's a guy that, while we're talking about returning yards at Ohio State, he's a guy that's rushed for yards in college at Florida. And he's going to be, he's worth keeping an eye on as well. Because I've talked to a couple of people, and they both mentioned him to me, not like over the moon, but like, hey, this guy looks like he's a football player. So I'm really interested to see what he can do as well. But he's going to get a lot of opportunity to do it, because this spring, you know, we're thin at running back. But that just means, you know, opportunity docs for somebody to come through and take the opportunity to use the spot and make an impression on Arthur Smith. Because Arthur Smith hadn't seen any of these guys. He hadn't seen Bo Jackson. He hadn't seen Isaiah West. So you make that person person on him that, that may be an abiding one for sure. Very true. Clean slate. And I'm glad you brought him up because it came to me after we went on our little zero yards.

31:18I was like, oh, yeah, Jacobi Jackson. Now, technically, he has zero yards as a buck eye, but he does bring yards from Florida. And shout out to Dev. By the way, Dev will be going live after us tonight. Make sure you check out Dev after the show. But Dev kind of got me to get my eyes on Jackson a little more. And I see the chat. Yes, he is known as a really good blocker. He might end up being the best blocker on the team. We'll see. But I've also heard today that he looked really good physically. Like he looked like a rock out there. So yeah, don't want to sleep on Jackson. He has some experience, but he just doesn't have Ohio State practice experience. So that matters. So I'm glad you brought that up. And I wanted to bring up Julian Saiyan. So I'm going to put this on the screen. So I tweeted this out. This is a quote from Coach Day. He talked about him making an impact with his legs when appropriate.

32:22He said, we know that's the X factor that has to show up this year. He's aware of that. And we've been working hard in the all season. So Nevada. We've been saying we've been talking about this all off season about how him not running as much in certain spots needs the change. It was said after the Miami game by Julian. It was said by Ryan Day. We talked about how Ryan Day needs to make sure he's not sending mixed messages to his quarterbacks and his offense. Because in the past, he's been a little restrictive with his quarterbacks running the ball. Okay. So now it seems to me, Nevada, that over the years as a head coach and seeing the game and all that and still learning, in my opinion, and I know some people are still skeptical hippo, but I've been saying leading up to even now that I felt like things were going to change. I feel like over time, the worm is going to start turning

33:25towards him putting more actual real emphasis on him running. And today's comment unprompted because they didn't ask about him running in this. They were just talking about Julian saying and he led into this comment, y'all talking about his throwing and commanded offense. And he ended his comment with this, Nevada. Did you see this quote and what's your thoughts on it? Well, look, I think this is about the journey that Ryan Day is on and his kind of evolution as a head coach. Because I've talked to players that played quarterback at Ohio State for under Ryan Day. And they've told me that, you know, whether it's implicit, it's certainly implied that he just hasn't been, that isn't looking for them to run the ball, you know what I'm saying? And so they don't run the ball. Whether it's slots or live dealers, spinquest.com has the fun and action you're looking for, with spinquest exclusives, blackjack, roulette,

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard years recently that said that $20 billion won. $20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to $22, $23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?

35:27Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law from Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

And so it's, you know, I think when you hear it from multiple people and you see it with your own eyes over, because this isn't just a Julian St. joint. This is a C.J. Stroud. This has come a court. I mean, you can go through the court back to you,

36:30even Justin Fields to a certain degree. You're relative to how much he rush it runs in the NFL. So I think that Ryan has got to quit giving mixed messages about running the footballs of court back. And I think, you know, this seems to be, you know, his way of saying publicly, hey, okay, I've kind of changed my word. But this is definitely a change because, you know, whether he's singing it explicitly, he's going on saying, I don't want you to run or he's just kind of going, you know, you're not really brought here to be a running back. You know, hey, we look for other guys to go get those yards and do that. Hey, you know, Sam, you know, hey, your health is paramount. And we can't afford to have you get her, you know, there's so many different things that he's done that cause guys to go, they think twice before they run the football and I think Ryan's got to change that and hopefully, hopefully this is the start of him doing it in 2026. Agreed. And I keep telling people, listen, I'm a press conference boy.

37:31I watch all the pressers. I've watched Ryan Day since he's been here faithfully. I've studied him. I've, you know, just taking notes and I'm telling y'all, now y'all can still say you're skeptical and this is not it, but well, he just talking. I'm telling you like Nevada to say, this is different. This is different. And so the question is, will he follow through with this difference of engaging the press about this particular thing with the quarterback running, again, the quote, he said, we know that's the X factor. He said, um, with his legs, when appropriate, which is important because nobody's asking him to run cue draws every two plays and be Braxton Miller. All we're saying is, just like in a Miami game, when sleepy eyes, Carson Beck took advantage, when pressure was coming, he saw nothing downfield, he took off and picked up critical first downs

38:33to move the chains for his team. That's what Julian Sandey's to do. There was one particular play where it was three yards to the first down and he could have got it with his feet easily. He didn't do it. Now, some people think he's scared to run. I disagree. Nevada, we have both let's all know that he, well, he rushed for over a thousand yards in high school if I'm correct over his four years. It might be more than that. He was deemed a dual threat quarterback in his recruiting profile. No, he's not Braxton Miller, but he can run. He's not slow. He can certainly pick up a first down, you know, on third and five if there's an opening. He can do it, but he's a quarterback and a elite quarterback who's looking downfield, but he has to understand situationally that, bro, you gotta just get, get, move the chains. You cannot wait, okay? Unless it's just right there wide open, okay, cool. If not, you gotta take off.

39:33And that comes with time and a feel of the game and an emphasis from the coaching staff to do that. And I'm encouraged. I think it's actually gonna happen. All people laugh at me. They've already laughed at me, Nevada. Oh, you know, he's just talking. I disagree. I think this is gonna be a change, Nevada, and I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, I think it's gonna be a change. It was just because, you know, one Ryan Day is not a stupid person, okay? And it would take a stupid person at this point to ignore the impact of the quarterback running on cultural ball games, you know what I'm saying? I mean, like the evidence, it's not even about opinion anymore. It's just like everybody runs, everybody. Athletic guys, non-athletic guys, big guys, small guys, you know, indoor, outdoor, good weather, bad weather, they all run. And so, you know, when you're literally the only team in cultural ball that doesn't run the quarterback, at some point, you gotta tune in. So I do believe it is just because I think Ryan has kind of seen,

40:36I don't know why it's taken him this long, frankly, but here we are in being a better late than never. Yep, better late than never for sure. Couple other notes, you know, I'm sure a lot of you have heard this, but the staff seems to like Lee Roy Roker. He was told to lead, you know, the huddle today. And so Roker, he seems to be a leader. He was over the depth chart on some of these guys that transferred that we thought were higher recruits. Now, I still, I guess, want to see more from Roker. I trust the staff, but Nevada, there was a play, I forget, again, to it was, but he got burnt badly and it's still in my mind. So I need some other plays to erase that from my memory, but with that said, I defer to the staff. Obviously, clearly they like him on the field and as a leader. So anything on Roker being caught out today?

41:37Yeah, I mean, look, you've got to, you've got to open safety spot. And he's a guy that, you know, I've seen it through my years of watching Ohio State, you always, there's always somebody every year that kind of, you know, maybe has come in and had limited action didn't do well or just been kind of buried a little bit. And you start to see it, it's stuff like this. I mean, the fact that they're having him, you know, lead the huddles, that's not a small thing. That's a something. And so, you know, when they're doing that, you know, they're, they're telling him, hey, this is your time. You've got an opportunity to do it. And would not surprise me at all to see him do it. Again, he's another guy whose name that I heard from the strength and conditioning staff over the winter, somebody had really put in the work. So it's nice to see somebody put in the work and then, you know, how it kind of gets translated to the field here, although, you know, first day in spring football, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him make a move here in the spring. So they definitely wouldn't form. Yeah, for sure. I mean, listen, again, as a fan, because I'm a fan,

42:38you know, I'm an analyst, I'm a podcaster, I'm a football junkie, a critical thinker, but I'm still a fan. And so, you know, you basically, at the end of the day, I'm smart enough to defer to the staff because they see these players more. Does that mean the staff is infallible and incapable of making mistakes? Absolutely not. We've seen some things over the years, I've like, up, that was a mistake and clearly here's the evidence, but more often than not, if you got a good smart staff, they're going to make the right decision. And so they see these kids more than we do and they like Roker a lot. And one other note, a legrio from Wisconsin, was hearing that he looks bigger than people thought and faster. He won a rep against a passing rep against a believer running back. And so, you know, I think, I don't know, I'm very curious to see it, because again, going back and watching him Nevada,

43:40he was good for Wisconsin, he was a good player. Like he's one of those guys where he's a football player. I know that's cliche and overused, but that's what he is. He can make tackles, he's not slow, he can get out to the quarterback, he's physical. And so I'm very curious to see what he comes in and does. In this linebacker room, especially with only two, the two linebackers we primarily use in our 425 look, anything on a legrio and him coming in, you know, looking good so far. Well, not surprising, again, he was a guy that, you know, I think he was the defensive player of the game for Wisconsin twice against Ohio State. I mean, he's always been a pain in our side. I mean, he's a guy that you notice, he's a guy that, you know, I'm not surprised at all to see him kind of. It'd be more surprising to me if he wasn't in fact, the little Ohio State. So yeah, I mean, he's one of the guys that I'm the most excited about, probably the one that I'm most sure about, because coming from another big 10 school,

44:40so you know, he's familiar with the league. Notice how to play veteran guy, leadership guy, you know, he got the equivalent of the blocko there at Wisconsin. And I'm not surprised at all to hear that he's playing well, doing well, I think he's gonna be a terrific player for Ohio State. Yep, yep. And good leadership, good veteran experience and leadership coming into that room. So, you know, I mean, that's kind of what it comes down to. But yeah, I see y'all in the chat talking about saying, and before we get the super chats again, because to me, based on the comments, I just don't know for on the same page. And like, again, and you tell me if you agree, Nevada, we're not saying we need Julian saying to be will Howard. That's not what I'm saying. I don't think Nevada's saying that. We don't need him to be a dual threat quarterback. We just need him to understand situational football

45:42when it makes sense to take off and run to move the chains for your team. That's it. That's it. And I brought up the comparison to Carson Beck in that game. Carson Beck was never known as a running quarterback. Matter of fact, he was clowned for not being, he for being a statue. And listen, I'll be honest, he burned me because remember Nevada, me, you and Dev, we're talking about who will we rather see? Texas A&M or Miami? One of the reasons why I wanted to see Miami is because Sleepy Eyes Beck was a statue. He was never known for running.

Let's go places. But guess what? As a ninth year senior however long he's been in college football, he was savvy and experienced in season enough

48:47to know the situation and take off and make huge plays with his feet to move the chains. That's what we're saying. He needs to go, he needs to drop back and look downfield primarily. But as he continues to grow as a quarterback he'll have a feel for the game to know when to take off and scramble. That's what we're saying. Nevada, do you agree with that? I mean, look, for the last five years we've had zero rushing TDs out of our QB1, zero. Over that same four seasons, the next lowest combined out of 133 schools was seven. We were zero. I mean, that's how far we are behind everybody else in terms of running the quarterback. So like opportunistic running for sure. I mean, heck, I don't even mind if it's thirred in whatever long and you call the design quarterback draw like they did with Fmando Mendoza and you know what I'm saying?

49:48They give it to you. Julien saying it is not a porcelain doll. He can't remember two things. He rushed for more hit arts in high school than archmaning. He can do this, you know what I'm saying? Like I don't get this thing where it's like we just can't, we got to wrap him and bubble wrap him. You know, Julien, the boy and the bubble same. I mean, I just don't get it. So yeah. I don't know why they crack BF so much. Of course they don't. Love it. I mean, it's true. I mean, the way people talk about it, it's like like you, you know, I mean, nobody wants to get the quarterback, you know, hurt and put out for the year. But I think that the risk of that is really overdone. That doesn't really happen that often, you know what I'm saying? Especially if you're not just hammering your quarterback in. I mean, freaking Patrick Mahomes was the leading Russia for the Chiefs through eight games last year. Through eight games. He was the leading rock, Patrick Mahomes, the franchise, the face of the NFL, and not exactly a fleet guy.

50:49You're not talking about Lamar Jackson or, you know, you're not talking about Josh Allen, you know, freaking Patrick Mahomes was the leading Russia. So Patrick Mahomes can run, you know, he makes, what does he make? 60 million a year or something like that? You're taking Julien a year. You're talking, we can't run Julien saying, come on. Yeah. Come on. No, I agree, I agree. And also the word is he looks bigger. As he should, being in a weight program and, you know, a young man is still growing. And so that's going to help it. Like you said, like, yes, sometimes it's okay to dial up, I want to make it even more clear. Because I agree Nevada, it's okay to dial up a, like you draw on third and long when the defense thinks that it's never going to happen. Like they're not going to run Julien saying. And then he has a wide open lane up the middle to get the first down. And they're in man defense and all the, all the defenders are run off on deep routes.

51:52And he's back there and it takes off. Like he can do that and he can learn how to slide or he can learn how to get down. So again, we not saying we need to run him and pound him like JT Barrett. No way, he's not that dude. But he can certainly be savvy enough to pick up five yards here, seven yards there and use him situationally to confound the defense, like period. So I'm excited about this quote. And I think we're going to see growth with this Nevada. So you have it. Well, Arthur Smith ran Aaron Rodgers last year. They ran some option with Aaron Rodgers. And Aaron Rodgers is 100 years old and two bad knees that can't, you know, I mean, I can outrun Aaron Rodgers and they ran him. So if they could run Aaron Rodgers, you can sure as heck run Julien. It's four time NFL MVP with Aaron Rodgers. You can sure as heck run Julien saying, come on. Yep. And my last thing I'll say because again,

52:52this has been a contentious back and forth in general with fans is that I do agree with something you ought to check. Now, okay, I have some, some understanding for Coach Day and any coach when you have chugging off behind your quarterback or a, you know, somebody you notice that can't play that well. I understand the angst of not running your quarterback too much because you are done so if they get hurt. Now, in this case, last year Lincoln King holds, I don't think he was, he wasn't great, but he wasn't bad. I think he could have been fine. Maybe he's no chugging off this year. I have confidence in Tavion saying clear in his third year. I think there may be more confidence that, hey, we don't want saying to get hurt, but if he did, Tavion, this is his third year

53:54and he's pretty darn good. I think we'll be okay. So I'll end it with that. I don't know if you wanted to respond to that before we get the super chats, but no, I just don't, I just don't think you can ever live your life just more than about the, you know, I mean, if Julian saying, if Julian saying could get hurt in practice, Julian saying could get hurt carrying a TV up and down the stairs, like, that's about, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, I mean, there's a million ways that people can get hurt. So, you know, our offense will never reach its full potential until you activate the quarterback run. It just won't, it's impossible to do it in modern football. You have to present that as a threat to the opposition until you do that. You're just making it, but you're making it so hard. Yeah, I agree. This fun, this is funny from Boozila. Chugs was a Buckeye legend for that couple of minutes. Yeah, when Justin Fields went out and Chugs came in. They have him throw. Remember to have him throw and he got open. If he'd have thrown the touchdown pass, Chugs,

54:56they'd have named like some cauliflower pizza after Chugs up there at the little round together, but Michigan or something like that. It had been the paid shivers and Chugging Offscoot, cauliflower pizza. Oh goodness. I remember when Chugs went in that game, I was just like, Jesus Christ, Lord help us. But that is funny. He said he was a legend. All right, let's get into these super chats. Kevin Noobie, thanks for the 199. Player comp for James Smith, Mike Hall? Oh, H Nevada? I owe. What'd you think about this? I haven't watched enough about James Smith. I think size wise, they're comparable because James Smith is only like six, two and a half. I don't know if he's as quick as Mike Hall is. What are your thoughts on this? I mean, that's a good comp. Like you said, we can only hope he can, he's half the player that he is, but physically, they're similar size and similar build. I mean, he's not a big guy, you know, he's not,

55:58but he's definitely kind of square stocky. He looks like every, you know, Alabama lineman from the past 20 years, it's like they, you know, like those guards from the third Star Wars movie, the return of the Jedi when they went there and they have those guards marching those little stocky guys that are with the thing and the helmets and stuff. That's what he lineman. That's Alabama D lineman, man. And he looks just like what I mean, because he's just, he's just square and very, very difficult to move. And like I said, I think my calls are good comp. I hope he's, I hope he's half the player of the microscope mic was a stud here to honestly. Yeah, he was. So yeah, we'll see. I cannot wait, we talked about yesterday. I cannot wait to see the Bama boys out there. In this system and Quay Resolve, thanks to Roe Tide, you know, for his insight as a Bama fan, Roe Tide for life, for being healthy. He was, he missed five games last year,

56:58so I'm extra paying attention to Quay Resolve. Still do my thanks for the 199. Billy D Tech Mo Bo Bo Jackson. He's referring to my, I love this shirt. I wear it, I rotate it every, you know, every now and then. I won't wear it. I will wear it every day if I could and not be caught a bum on the podcast. Did you wash your shirt, B Moses? I love this shirt. It's just an idea. I came up if I had it pressed. Maybe I should sell these Nevada. Maybe I should, you know, make these available, but I'm a nostalgic tech mobile fan. So thanks for shouting out out stilly anything on that Nevada. Oh, you can just put like the B Moses plays in there from your high school. It's like B Moses left B Moses right. B Moses, B Moses found the middle or B Moses shoots the fallaway J because B Moses is tired can't drive to the rim anymore, you know what I'm saying? Hey, maybe I can. Maybe I can have like different styles of shirts like this, you know, with different playbooks on it. That might be an idea.

57:58I like it. Let's do it. All right, Sam, eight, five, three, six, two. Thanks for the 49. I think it's safe to say we have the three best names for running backs in college football with Bo Jackson, Legend Bay and Turbo Rogers. That's a great, that's a great point. That is, that you're right. I would defy any university to match up against what we have name wise for our running backs. That's an absolute great point Nevada. I think they're gonna be, the only thing to be better, we had a fourth guy named like Archie Griffin or something like that, you know what I mean? But yeah, those are those are, that's a great Super Jack. Those are those are three quality running back names for sure. And yeah, I mean, Bo Jackson, we didn't grow up as Bo Jackson, you know. There reminds me of that ESPN commercial, they had, there's an old ESPN commercial where they'd be like reservation for Michael Jordan and it was some little white guy and everybody's like, all disappointed. Like, you know, like, that was great. That was great. Yeah, Michael Jordan.

58:59But I mean, Bo Jackson, that's a similar thing and he comes in and rushes for over a thousand yards of Ohio State. So yeah, Bo, Bo Legend and Turbo, man, I love it. And what made that commercial even funnier is the white Michael Jordan. He anticipated the disappointment every time. He did a great job of like, yeah, no table for Michael Jordan. Yeah, that was good. That was good. All right, still he mad. Thanks for the 199. This must be inside joke. Shout out the carp lips. And he has some kissy emojis and laugh emojis. Ha, ha, shame. Listen, our chat is crazy. They have inside jokes galore. I don't get this one, but I don't need to, because it's hilarious to them. And they have a ton of fun on his dag on three at Nevada. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's hard to, I'm, I'm glad that I can't say because it'd be too distracting because there's so much good stuff going on. It is very distracting. You have to read the thing, do the stuff.

1:00:00Me and Slavin, you need hazard treatment for all that you're doing, man. Yeah, because I'm literally listening to Nevada just, you know, you know, just eloquently make his point in my eyes or in a chat light. He just say that they might have just like, oh, man, Nevada's over here cooking. And I'm just seeing him just, you know, all types of hilarity. But that's why we got the best chat in the land. All right, so Nevada going to have to fight Joe B for Jessica. Another inside joke that Nevada actually gets though. Yeah. But still he met once again. Thanks for the 199. Yes, this had me weak. And I know Nevada was not trying to be funny. Julian saying it is not a porcelain doll. I know he was not, that was not like some punchline word. Oh, this is really going to get them laughing. But it was hilarious because I picture Julian say it or out there running around like a porcelain doll

1:01:00and just shattering into a million pieces. Yeah. I'm thinking that was first down. You think that, you think the way they treated them, that it is. But no, he's actually actually it's I think so. I saw him brush for a 100 yards in a high school game. He's a tough kid. He can do it. Brian just got to give him a green light and then let's go. You know what, I might be able to do. I might be able to, I might clip your comments and make a video like a real of him actually running in high school and running at a house day because people forget he actually ran and picked up first down here at a house day. His freshman year and last year. Remember, so he's capable. So I might have you saying Julian saying it's not a porcelain doll as he's running down field. Hmm, I got some ideas. That might be a good sound bite. I like it. Yeah, all right. Cool, fun show, great show. First day of spring footballs in the books.

1:02:01It was very eventful. We will be getting much more intel, more information as the practice days roll by. I'm excited. Any last words about it? I'll be bang out of here. Not just great first day, but really, really good. I mean, first days usually don't go like this. This is a really good first day of spring football. I can't wait for day two. Absolutely. All right, remember, we got Dev coming up shortly. Make sure you hop on with Dev. He's going to get you all some great content. Per usual great information. Book our school family, book our nation, love y'all. Until tomorrow, we'll see you all then. Go Bucks and Peace.
