What's the first time you've heard all your life years? What have you seen from Will? I kind of felt like last year, we all forgot about him because he was hurt. Now he's running, you know, almost a second man up behind you and tied. What have you seen from that region? Will is a workhorse. He's going to stay quiet. He's going to work hard.

2:05And that's what I love about him. He focuses. He don't really talk much. He's going to get the job done. Do a job right. Rarely has any mistakes. What would be a successful season? A national championship. I ring when all the games we don't want to lose anything. We got a mindset that we can't be beat and we just got to go show it. That mindset is different. It seems like you guys expect a national championship every year. This year, even more so, you guys have all come back for this. You guys have all decided, like enough is enough. Does that just keep feeling different or is it not really any difference? It's just the same work. It's definitely a difference. Everyone working harder. We noticed our last run. Most of us don't have any years after this. So we got to go bigger, go home, and we're not trying to go home. So it's finished big. We know what you guys think of Michigan. But when you look at what they did, they won the national championship. And you guys took them down to the final minute, right? You know what I mean? You were right there.

3:06Something goes a little different. You guys could have won that game against them. Does that tell you anything about like that? Hey, you guys want to win a national championship, but you played to the 59th minute with the team that won the national championship last year, like you're that close. So I'm saying, we just like work harder. That's kind of coach makes a saying, you know, nobody cares, just work harder. Like those, you know, when we played Georgia, it's the same thing. Yeah. Last, last play, you know, they went on the win in 90. So we just got to get over that hump at the end of the season. I think we'll be fine. How frustrating is that? You're that close against the last two national titles. Of course it's frustrating, but you can't change the outcome. You can't really dwell on it. You just got to come back and work harder, do things better than you did last year, and hopefully the outcome will change. Is that as you get older, you kind of learn. I thought I was working hard, and then you always find out there's a little more than you could have been doing? Yeah, definitely. I mean, that's what growing up is basically in college. I thought freshman year I was working as hard as I could,

4:06but not look back at it. I really wasn't working hard at all, compared to what I'm doing now. So just to learn anything. If the stamina is a 16, then they answered it like, what do you need it to be to be your best? Uh, 80, 85? I mean, I can, it's all on me. I just, I think it's a little higher. I was just trying to be funny, but I mean, it's all on me. I just got to run harder in shape. So that's the stamina. Do you have the hobby? It's been a pleasure. The idea of a potential is 15 to 17. How do you decide about that idea? Does it make you nervous about, can you last that long? Do you have worries? I think, I think we, I definitely can last. I was just, you know, we got to get the young guys to come along with us. We can't play 50 snaps again. That's just too much on our bodies. Uh, just everybody. Like, O-line, D-line. We got to get those younger guys to play, you know, get that pieces on the D-line and O-line and everywhere else. So we can last that long run.

5:07Speaking of that last game, we don't know what that was like. Did you like playing that new snap again last year? Because I don't know. I don't know if any of us were really expected to play that next time. Uh, yeah, I did. Unless we were like winning by, like, O-line. Uh, I thought, like, there are no moments, you know, I can go sit down or something. But we're not playing them big games, like, you know, Notre Dame, too, or those kind of games. Of course, I want to be, because I know I can contribute. And I won't want to put that on anyone else when I know I can get the job done. What stands out about taking McDonald's, is he got the key? I mean, you guys are the second. Oh, yeah, definitely. K-Mac is a K-Mac's animal. Y'all, you haven't really seen it yet, but in practice, he shows all the time. He's just, he's grown right now. He has to work, I think. He just has to get, you know, in the playbook, things like that. You guys are about the exact same size. It's listed. You're both listed. Six, three, three, twenty-seven. He's three, twenty-six. Yeah, he's, I kind of look at him like my junior, but, you know, K-Mac, he's going to be a great player. He's just got to develop more in getting the playbook. It's really a lot on you, older guy. There's that large group of young guys

6:07and then there's the seniors in the back. Is that part of your task for this year to bring those guys along as well? Yeah, definitely. We've got to be leaders. Like I said, we've got to have them play this year. We can't just play all the snaps. They got to get in there and get some work. And we've got to get them right, earn all season so they can play. And not just play, they want to, like, contribute, like, make plays. Tackle with sex. He's like, let's start over at the stretch. It seems like these guys get bigger. Each one of the freshmen class is going to be bigger. Do those guys kind of, does it kind of value themselves the first? Yeah, they're definitely some big dudes. And they all work hard. I've only seen much of some of the day too when I'm passing on. But throughout the workouts, they've been working hard, you know, they're determined to, I have to say that. And it looks like they're ready to work with me. How important is those? It feels like there's a lot of great defenses that you have big athletic defense attacks who can eat up space, but also move, you know, right? That is that. Is that a requirement maybe from the great defense

7:09to have guys like you that have some balls, but also a great team? I think that is definitely. I think if you look at the last couple, not some championship winners, like Team up North, they, you know, they got two good, detaco, two athletic detacles. Look at Georgia, two athletic detacles. I think that's definitely need if you want to go on that big run and beat those big teams. If you think about that, they almost defined by the defense with actors. Like, what's Georgia? It's Jordan Davis and Daniel Carter. What's Michigan is? Chris Jenkins. A couple more questions for you. You might be wondering like how, I mean, you understand it because you play it, but I feel like some time, I don't know, are people realizing how important defense tackles are? A little bit more than they used to? I think so. I think they're starting to develop to develop more and more of these like freakiest detacles. Yeah. Like in the combine, just now, you seeing like those guys, they're moving four to four, seven, eight, and things like that. So we'll see. And when you think it, when you think about those freakies, how do you think how do you think you fit

8:09into that mold of that kind of player? You watch that and say, yeah, that's me. Yeah, definitely. I think I'm top notch when it comes to detacles, but I don't want to, you know, get a big head, but, you know, watch it come on. I watch it do the drills. I have tapes here. You're like, look at my, my film. So I think I'm up there with all those times. Do you become like a artist and it comes back down passes the figure wags and your things? When you're going to spring practice, you're not doing as much a weapon of a weapon. That's how do you work on that? Do you have like a goal in mind? I don't, I don't remember how many that last trick like, you have a goal in mind? How many do you want to have? I mean, as many as I can have, I think I have more than that, but I think they've counted. Like he said it on the screen. I think they've counted some of them. And it's some of them where I like just missed it. But I think we work on drills matching the hand. I think that's, uh, goes big and, uh, what we do is a D line, you know, just affecting the quarterback is anywhere you can. It's just great for the defense. You know, just that little thing covering his eye. You know, he might throw it a little

9:10bit to the left to our players. So, so it's something that you really, really have to work on. You can do that with what you've been doing in the past. It's very, that's one of the things that you've maybe worked on the most. You can do your time here because there are a few guys that I've seen. Like, oh, that passes. I think I just have like a, like a, uh, eye for the ball kind of. I kind of just look at the quarterback and just, I see him like load up. I just try to get in his ways. And sometimes he just throws it to me. I mean, they get frustrated, but you know, we're a team, you know, we're just getting better. I should a lot of, a lot of different backs, man, to just learn to grow for them. I don't really have a top three, but I'll give you, I'll give you one. I would say, say, Juan Gibbs and I like McCaffrey auto.

10:11He was injured this year. I like McCaffrey. Best back in this draft. I lead out of the yard. That's y'all, that's y'all decision. Playing well, Howard, what I'm going to remember most. We're a Howard, man. He's just such a great lead, such a great leader, man. It's just like in moments where, you know, usually a lot of players, they fold, man. He was just always calm and relaxed, man. He, just the leader that he was, man, that's one thing I'm going to remember about him. Yeah, he's, he's going to be really good, man. He's on Coach Locke. I think he got the transfer in as well from West Virginia. Just that one, two punch with them both as well. They're going to be really good backs. And so James, people's, man, he's smart. The way that he goes about his business, man. He's mature. And so, man, he's growing, you know, just as a person, and as a player. And so, man, yeah, definitely Ohio State. You know, that running back room is in great hands. Yeah, Coach Heartline, man, he's full of energy, man.

11:13And he's creative as well, you know. I'm just learning from him as well, you know. I'm trying to run more outside the backfield. It was being able to learn from Coach Heartline. And so, he's definitely creative at what he's, he does. And he brings a lot of energy to the team as well. And so, I think that would do really good. So, I think that would do really good. Just intensity, man, and intensity of the playoffs. Every game, man, it's like the intensity got, you know, higher and higher. And so, you know, being able, I know in the lead, it's the same thing. Even if it's not the playoffs, just every, every game, and intensity, it keeps getting higher and higher. And so, yeah, you just, I know you got to bring it, you know, each and every day and come in and work just like Ohio State. You know, I definitely feel like Ohio State. They definitely do a good job of preparing us for that. You know, I just remember, even before going through this process, I'll talk to a lot of players before then. And they told me a lot of just about how much Ohio State prepared them,

12:15you know, for the NFL. And so, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I know I took a couple of days off after the national championship. And then, shoot, right after that, I'm writing sample Florida and I'm right to it. And so, yeah, I think where I trained, I trained that, on Yo-Murth performance, I think it's called the House of Athlete or the Compound now. They did a good job, man. They're just bringing us in and the way they went about training us, man. They did a really good job. The Bucking Nears, no, I haven't. Tampa, Tampa, nice. This is nice, it's a nice city, man. Really nice. The 40, the broad and the vert. You've got a linebacker, so the gap, the bigger than you, and you're getting ready to square up. Yeah, yeah, nah, man.

13:18It's really all about technique and then it's about mindset as well. And so, I say, you know, it's for the love of my brother. It's for the love of Will Howard. It's for the love of the receivers who I got on the perimeter. Just making sure, you know, first of all, my quarterback doesn't get sacked. And I told Will, I think it was before the first game. I was like, I got your brother. It's, I said, man, I'm not going to let you get hit. You know, and so I don't know if I gave up a sack. I'm not sure that, but I know if I did, I haven't given up too many. And so, man, it's for the love of my brothers, though, man, making sure that the ball get in their hands, you know, the guys on the outside and making sure they get fed. 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. That's how much money and refunds the IRS flagged for possible identity fraud.

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 20 billion one.

15:2020 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere in 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? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open or our call center is always waiting to take your call. 247-365. 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. Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees. But I don't really need it. Infliction is killing me. But who cares? Big retailers and making record profits. That's why we support the Durban Marshall credit card bill. See, things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll. This bill would cut the vital resources they need. While increasing Megastore profits, they deserve it.

16:23Don't they? Tell Congress, stop the Durban Marshall money grab for corporate megastores. Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition. In my game, you can't really work on this. You know, in all season, I feel like it's more so. You know, you got to put the pads on. You got to go through some inside run. You know, maybe it's really just continuing to run through tackles. And so that's I feel like that's one of the areas in my game. You know, I want to continue to get better at it. I feel like I did a good job of that my senior year. And so I just want to continue to build on that. Yes, I did. Yes, I did. You get back in person. I did meet with New Orleans as well. I never got that comparison. Actually, I know I have a Camera. Sure, yeah, man, I have a Camera. Great, great back, man. Just what he does and those 101 matchups, he's dangerous, man. And he's so smooth. He's so smooth as well. I'm not going to lie, he's smooth.

17:24Yeah. Um, inside zone from stack, being able to hit that thing downhill. And I'll say the next one is probably just an option route out of the backfield. You know, a man and man coverage. You're getting on that line backer and so. Yeah, I say to man, the biggest thing is the way that he carries himself, man, in a way that, man, um, he approaches the game. He comes in with the mindset, you know, he's going to work every single week, you know, every practice, you know, he's working hard. You know, um, even shoot, I don't know, every good, I think he had every game was a good game for him. And so, but still, man, he always has the mentality to mindset that, you know, he's going to come in each and every day. He's going to continue to work and get better, man. And so he's definitely man. He's going to be a special player, man. He really is.

18:31Man, a lot of ups and downs, man, it's just how you respond to adversity. And I feel like that's something that God has definitely helped me to do better. Is this, um, I have something to lean on now. You know, I remember before I met him, you know, going through those adversity, I had nothing to run to. You know, you can run to people, but they still can't. It's not too much, they can't truly help you. You know, I feel like, you know, I feel like the only person that can truly help you is your relationship with Jesus Christ. And so, um, being able to lean on him, you know, he gives you, in those moments, where it's tough, you know, where it's low. And, um, when you're behind the scenes and you're going through things that people don't know about, um, he gives you, he gives you that peace and comfort. You know, um, even in those moments, man, we're so hard that you can't, you can't explain. It's like, man, I'm going through this, but like, how am I still filled with this internal joy? You know, how do I have so much peace in this situation? And so that's something that only Jesus Christ can give you. And so,

19:37Um, man, those guys have such a great mentality, man. Um, I just really love their mentality, especially, um, Q as well, you know, I talked about Will Howard, his leadership, but Quinshawman's mentality, man, um, that boy just, yeah, that boy just gifted. You know, you see, you know, sometimes he put in a situation where he looked like, you know, he should have a negative five yards. And as soon as you know it, you know, he, the running through somebody, still farming somebody, and shoot, it's a game to 10. And so, uh, um, shoot, I think, yeah, man, I think it's just like, he's just gifted, man, too, beyond it. He's just gifted. You know, he's, he's a big back. You know, he's strong. And so, um, you know, he's, he's able to do, he's able to do those things. And so, um, yeah, man, it's definitely, you know, I look at his game and I want to, you know, at the same time, I want to learn from Quinshawman. You know, I want to look at his game and it's like, man, where, where can I get better at as well? You know, that's the type of player I am. I'm always looking to get better, man. I'm always looking to grow as a player.

20:38What's your last interview? Julian Sand. Oh, yeah, he's going to be a great, but he's going to be a great quarterback, man. He's so, so accurate. And so, um, he's definitely, man, I know Coach Day is definitely going to get him right. Just, you know, um, container grow as a leader, container grow as a player. And so, he's going to, he's going to be really good for high state. Uh, he's, uh, I know just the quarterback position. Um, I feel like, you know, the quarterbacks in the past, they've, they've definitely been vocal. And so, I feel like that's something that they're definitely going to, um, ask Julian Sand as well. It's to be that vocal leader and lead, um, and lead the offense and lead the team. Shoot, man, he has, he has a build like JK Dobbins. And, um, I kind of see them, you know, similar, similarities in their game as well. And I know JK Dobbins. He was a great running back. Um, I feel like he's not talked about his none. Um, a lot, but man, his career here, you watch his highlights is, is great. I remember, um, before I recruit, before I committed here, I remember watching JK Dobbins highlights, like every,

21:40every, um, one of his years here, like four or five times. And so, man, he was such a great back. And, um, I feel like, you know, um, when I see JK Dobbins, when I see, um, James people, I see similarities to both of their games. I feel like they play the same. And so, I appreciate you all. Yeah, I'll be going.

23:36Yeah. Well, I got coming in last year. I knew the role. So I just attacked Eric Dave, really the same way. It's technically a very rare physically different. Oh, I think I got a lot bigger. I'm like 240. You know, like 244 right now. Last year, I played it like 236 to 37. What does it feel like a 244 or a belt? You feel like almost a different machine out there. Yeah, like, what does it, what does it feel like to be running around out there? Like you are, but with more, uh, more bad. I just feel like I'm like, like, like more downhill. Like stronger. Like I'm taking all blocks better.

24:36It's big. No, is it don't think, uh, maybe that's not the correct term, but to think you're going to be playing much more than you did even last year. And you played quite a bit last year and stuff. What do you have to get straight in your head about being on the field that much more? I just got to get ready to just play 30 more snaps. So, but are you, are you, how would you describe how much you're looking forward to it from an 8 stand point? Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I'm ready for it. My, I'm ready for it. The text is open. It's a rematch and so to speak, but it's not really two different teams compared to the last time you all played and stuff. How is that enhanced, uh, this camp for you and this team getting ready for the, where an opener of that magnitude? Yeah, with an opener like that, we've been, um, we've been emphasizing it a lot. We know we got coming. So we know we got to do, we've been prepared for it. I already just probably worked today. Yeah, I think Riley ready to play right now. He, he advanced freshman like he ended up here in the book. He stood in like, he advanced and his measurements was crazy. Like, he saw like, saw like to him.

25:38Or, like, you said, you said you're ready. Like, you know, you're ready. What was that process like during last season? Could you feel yourself becoming more and more ready? So wherever the team needed from you? Yeah, because that's pretty much what my role was, was just whenever I was needed, I had to step up. So I feel like that's what built me into me being able to say I'm ready for this year. When you say ready, is it more a physical thing? Is it a mental thing? When I say ready, I think it's pretty much like everything physically, mentally, mostly. I think I'm there. A different is that feeling this year than last year. That's the most possible thing that happened. Oh, I asked a one more time. How different is that responsibility? That should be that you should just be emotional. Call that. If it wasn't last year, you knew you were a homemaker. Oh, I feel like it's, uh, it's a way bigger responsibility with me having to step up this year. But I kind of go about it the same way. Like last year, I was intentional with everything I did. I feel like this year is going to be the same thing.

26:39It's probably a little bit more. For somebody who's somewhere you can never see, I would be surprised. It won't work? How's anybody worked your watch? Uh, I say, describe my game. I say, like when you think of me, you would think of like a, like a bullet, like a silver bullet. Like I'm really a bullet. I'm always on the ball. That's how I like to play and think. You know what I mean by that? No, I ain't, I ain't got to be my nickname, but I'm not saying that the nickname can be. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You want a body? Yeah, that's it. I'm going to come up with more questions for Patricia's style and how it's free. I mean, how does that fit you? And what are you enjoying about? I'm playing in that kind of style. Um, I think it fit me because, I don't know, I just like the defense. I feel like we got, like you said, we got a lot of freedom and we moving around a lot, a lot of the terms is like, you know, I don't know. I don't really know how to answer that. That's okay, does it?

27:39You can still go on your instincts, a little bit more, maybe, and it's not so thinking of too much. I don't even know if I say that, because there's a lot of thinking going on, but it's like, I just like it's deep, I like how Patricia deep is. I like what you got going on. What was it sad when CJ left the ring? Yeah. Uh, now I wanted to much sad. I was kind of like happy for him. Like, yeah, that's what he wanted. Don't miss him in that? No. No. All right. No, that's my dog. I go, so yeah, kind of missing a little bit, but yeah, I'm happy for him though. Well, well, thank you. Go ahead one last question, man. Coach Daze talked a lot about the guys who played some last year, but maybe weren't the starters and the hunger for that wasn't maybe your national championship you guys will win your own. Yeah. How much do you feel that is, a guy who certainly contributed last year, but will be in this bigger role and along with some of your classmates? Yeah, I do feel like, um, yeah, I do feel like I did win the Nadi last year, but like you said, my role wasn't same as how it's going to be this year. So yeah, I definitely want to,

28:40want to go get another one, experience that like feeling with me be on the field, a lot more place. That's it. Great. Oh, Bill, thank you very much. Thank you. It's tax season.
