Press Conferences (Bryson Rodgers) Elite Edition September 2

0:00I love days like these at the pool, but my moderate to severe plaque surice is can sometimes take me out of the moment. I'm ready to make a splash with clear skin thanks to SkyRizzy, Rizzenkism abrisa. SkyRizzy is a prescription only injection for adults who are candidates for systemic or phototherapy. At four months, most people saw 90 percent clear skin when measured from head to toe, and many were even 100 percent plaque free.

1:00Hi, this is Dave Roberts. Heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, that's a risk. Summer colds can linger and getting sick on vacation can derail everything.

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.

I don't know. As you get older, how much does hevership in the in the puddle? How much does hevership in the lockers? Start to weigh different than that. I don't understand. Well, I think at the quarterback position is command is everything, but just in general, I mean, I think it's everything. I think everything ought to feel translated to underfield. So I mean, how you do something underfield, how you going to do it off your shoulder. So I mean, it's hand in hand, I think, and I think we got the

3:05guys to do that. I don't think it's so different. I don't think that we're taking the job or a step back. I think we got the guys to do it on both both sides of the in the field. Whereas you can fit patient, you've waited for your turn. How excited are you with this season to have this impact like you've had some tough, don't impact the season? I'm super excited. I've got to play the game. I've got to win. I'm going to compete. I feel like I'm really good again. Like I say, I'm really good and we're going to have to show the best for season 4 in the Americans. You guys have had great run. Did you think the unadept from the outside of this building at this year's rule or true? Is the best of best people know the top two or three guys? But is that deep work? Yeah. Yeah, I think like you said, it's a deep room. We help each other. We're deep in every position. And I think that just goes to show like when you come here, you come in play at a lead level. And that's on our factories. That's in a run game. That's catching the ball. That's doing something for your teammate. Understanding the concepts of the offense. It's just, what we got there. We go ball out. With disrespect to Akron, but how much more urgency is there in

4:12camp to be ready for week one? Considering the opponent that you're playing Texas this year? Absolutely. Definitely. It's definitely how to man. We got Texas week one. We had a battle with them last year in the CFP. We got much got a good understanding of what they do. They probably got to get understanding of what we do. But at the end of the day is because you got to spot the ball, you got to play. And I think that's what that's going to be true. That's a taste of learning. Just spot in the ball. Execute in better than them and play harder than them being the hardest to pay. I think they're playing as much. So I just wanted to get like more experience under my belt. So I can bring younger guys with me because I've been through a lot. One of those younger guys we're seeing it out here. It's the first time it's heard all those last years. What have you seen from well? Because I kind of felt like last year we all forgot about it because he was hurt. Now he's running, you know, almost a second man out behind you and tied. What have you seen from that? Well, it was a workhorse. He he going to stay quiet. He going to work hard. And that's all 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.

5:14What 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. We just got to go show it. Do 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? Is there not really any difference? It's just the same work. It's definitely a difference. Everyone working harder. We noticed our last run. Like we most of us don't have any years after this. So we got to go go bigger going home and we're not trying to go home. So it's finished big. We know what you guys think of Michigan. When you look at what they did, they won the national championship and you guys took them down to the final minute. You were right there. Something goes a little different. You guys could have been one that came 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.

6:18Like you're that close. So I'm saying we just like work harder. That's kind of coach makes of saying you know nobody cares just work harder. Like those you know when we played Georgia it's the same thing. Last play you know they went on the win in 90s 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 you know 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 learned? I thought I was working hard and then you always find out there's a little more that you could have been doing? Yeah definitely. I mean that's how that's what growing up is basically in college. I thought freshman year I was working as hard as I could but now I look back at it. I really wasn't working hard at all compared to what I'm doing now so just to learn anything. 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

7:26to be funny but I mean it's all on me I just got to run harder. Get the shape. The idea of the potential of the 16th or 17th grade. I think I think I definitely can last. I was just you know we got to get the young guys to come along with as we can't play 50 snaps again. That's just too much on our bodies. Just everybody's like online divine. We got to get those younger guys to play you know get that pieces on the D line and the O line and everywhere else so we can last at the long run. Ah yeah I did unless we were like winning by like a lot. I thought like there are no small means you know I can go sit down or something but we're playing them big games like you know Notre Dame too or North those kind of games. Of course I want to be because I know I can contribute

8:28and I won't want to put that on anyone else when I know I get the job done. Oh yeah definitely. K-MAC is a K-MAC's animal. You haven't really seen it yet but in practice he shows all the time. He's just he's growing right now. He has a work ethic he just has to get you know in the playbook things like that. You guys are about the exact same size. Listen you're both listening six three you're three twenty seven he's three twenty six. Yeah he's I kind of look at him like my my junior but you know K-MAC he's going to be a great player he's just got to develop more and getting to play. So really a lot on you older guys there's that large group of young guys and then there's the seniors in the back is that part of your cast for this year to bring those guys yeah definitely we got to be leaders. Like I say we 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 got to get them right during the all season so they can play and not just play they want to like contribute like make plays tackles sex. It seems like these guys get bigger each one first from the class

9:36do those guys kind of those are going to kind of while you're in the cell the person. Yeah they're definitely some big dudes and they all work hard I'm really seeing much it's only a day two when I'm not passing on but throughout the workouts they've been working hard you know they they're determined I'd say that and it looks like they're ready to work with me. I'm going to score this notes. It feels like there's a lot of great defenses that you have big athletic defensive tactics you could eat up space but also move you know right that is that is that environment maybe through great defense to 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 of nice and championship winners like team of North they you know they got two good detacled two athletic detacles look at Georgia two athletic detacles so I think that's definitely neat if you want to go on that big run and beat those big teams. If you think about this they're going to fight by the defense attackers like what's Georgia Jordan Davis and Daniel Carter let's miss again it's

10:39Chris Jenkins. Couple more questions. You know 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 freakish detacles. Yeah like in the combine just now you see in like those guys they're moving four to four seven eights and things like that so we'll see. And when you think it when you think about this freakish attack how do you think you fit into 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 I watch it come on I watch it do do the drills I have tape to you like you're looking like my film so I think I'm up there with all those comments. Do you become like an artist who comes in to batting up passes the figure wags have your things. I mean you're going to spring practice you're not doing that much a weapon on the left hand. How do you work on that? Do you have like a goal one mind? I don't

11:43remember how many I mean as many as I can have I think I have more than that but I think he said it. I think they didn't count some of them and some of them were like just listed so 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 quarter of that is anyway 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 bit to the left to our player so so it's something that you really really have to work on. It's one of the things that you've maybe worked on the most during your time here because there are a few guys that I've seen like oh that past me. We don't have to ask this kind of kind of expected for the people. I think I just have like a like a 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 by you know

12:44we're a team you know we're just getting better. I should lot a lot of different backs man and 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 Sequan Gibbs and I like McCaffrey auto he was injured this year I like McCaffrey. Best back in this drive I'll lead that up the yard that's y'all that's y'all decision. Playing with Will Howard when 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 shoot he's going to be really good man he's um

13:49Coach Lock 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 in as a player and so man yeah definitely Ohio State you know that running back room is in great hands. Yeah um coach Coach Hartland man he's full of energy man and 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 was being able to learn from coach Hartland 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 they'll do really good um just intensity man then since he got the playoffs um 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

14:52even if it's not the playoffs just every every game and then 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 I'll talk to a lot of players um before then and they told me a lot of just about how much Ohio State prepared them you know for the NFL and so yeah yeah I know I took a couple days off after the um national championship and then shoot right after that I'm right in right in sample Florida and I'm right to it and so um yeah I think while trained I trained at um your morph performance um I think it's called the house of athlete or the compound now um they they did a good job man it just um bringing us in and the the way they went about training us man they were they did a really good job the bucking near you know I haven't

15:55Tampa Tampa nice this is nice it's a nice city man really nice uh the 40 to broad and avert yeah yeah no man uh it's really all about technique and then it's about mine said it's well and so um I say you know it's for the love of my brother it's for the love of will highway it's for the love of the receivers who I got on the perimeter just making sure you know um first of all my quarterback doesn't get sacked um and I I told will I think it was before the first game I was like I got your brother it's uh I said man I'm I'm not gonna let you get hit you know and so um I don't know if I don't know if I gave up a sack I'm not sure that um but I know if I did I haven't given up too many and so man it's for the love of my brother's though man making sure that the ball getting their hands you know the guys on the outside and making sure they get fed

16:59in my game uh 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 uh it's really just continuing 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 I I feel like I did a good job of that my senior and so I just want to continue to build on that yes I did yes I did uh I did meet with um new Orleans as well um I never got that comparison actually um I know I've been coming here sure yeah man I've been coming here great great back man um 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 gonna lie he's smooth yeah um inside zone from stack being able to hit that thing downhill and um I'll say the next one it's probably just an option route out of the backfield

18:04you know a man and man coverage you're getting on that line backer and so yeah I say the man the biggest thing is the way that he carries himself man in the way that man he approaches the game he comes in with the mindset you know he's gonna work every single week you know every practice you know he's working hard you know um even shoot it I don't know every good I think he had it every game was a good game for him man and so but still man he always has the mentality to mindset that you know he's gonna come in each and every day he's gonna continue to work and get better man and so he's definitely man he's gonna be a special player man he really is man 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

19:08not 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 being able to lean on him you know he gives you in those moments where it's tough you know where it's slow 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 around um man those guys have such a great mentality man I might just really love their mentality

20:11especially um Q as well you know I talked about Will Howard his leadership but Quinch I'm 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 then as soon as you know it you know he that running through somebody step on him somebody and shoot it's a game to 10 it's uh it's like to do some of the things he does he just realizes two different guys uh um shoot I think yeah man I think it's just like he's just gifted man to be honest 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 Quinch time you know I want to look at this game is 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 Julian San oh yeah he's gonna be a great but he's gonna be a great quarterback man he's so so accurate and so um he's definitely man I know Coach Dez definitely going to get him right just

21:16you know um continue to grow as a leader continue to grow as a player and so 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 San as well it's to be that vocal leader and lead the um and lead the offense and lead the team thanks 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 every 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

22:17people I see similarities to both of their games I feel like they play the same and so appreciate you all y'all y'all be going

24:06you all I got coming in last round new row so I just attack every day really the same way it's taking a very rare physically different are you weight wise body wise on that from the year ago 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 a almost a different machine out there yeah yeah what does it what does it feel like to be running around out there like you are but with more more back I just feel like I'm like like like like more downhill like stronger like I'm taking all blocks better it's big no is it daunting uh maybe that's not the

25:08correct 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 instead what do you have to get straight in your head about being on the field that much more this is gotta get ready to just play there are you more snaps so but are you are you how would you describe how much you're looking forward to it from an age standpoint I'm looking forward to it I'm ready for it my I'm ready for it the Texas opener it's a rematch so to speak but it's not really two different teams compared to the ones that I'm going to play this time how has that enhanced 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 in a lot and we know we got coming so we know we got to do we've been prepared for it already this probably worked today I think Riley ready to play right now he he advanced freshman like he ended he in the book he stood in like he advanced and his measurements was crazy like he saw like saw like to say you're ready what was that process like during last

26:11season could you feel yourself becoming more and more ready yeah because that's pretty much what my role 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 oh I asked a one more time how different is that responsibility um 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 it's gonna be the same thing it's probably a little bit more for somebody who's somebody you've never seen before how you do today

27:12and what work how's anybody worked you watch you uh I say describe like now I say like when you think of me you would think of like a like a bully like a silver bullet I don't really a bully I'm always on the ball that's how I like to play a thing you know I ain't got to be my nickname but oh yeah yeah um 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 man we moving around a lot a lot of the terms is like no I don't know I don't really not answer that I don't even know if I say that because there's a lot of

28:15thinking going on but it's like I just like it's deep I like how the pressure deep is I like what you got going on uh now I wanted to much sad I was kind of like happy for you yeah that's what you want no that's my dog so yeah kind of missing a little bit but yeah I'm happy for you though thank you go ahead one last but coach days 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 as a guy who certainly contributed last year but will be in this bigger role and along with some of your yeah I do feel like um yeah I do feel like I did win a nattie last year but like you say my role wasn't same as how's gonna be this year so yeah I definitely want to want to go get another one experienced that like feeling maybe on the field a lot more place I said great oh well thank you very much thanks so you've been using you you know that almost that safety role of stuff how much is it

29:19grown uh that you could put your finger on yeah I was growing immensely I mean uh Caleb he makes a lot of checks lathe makes a lot of checks uh I listen to them whatever they need if I need to cover somebody out I'll go cover anybody if they need me to uh do run support I'll do run support and it's really uh what Caleb does what we do and lathe it just goes back to the coach G's preparation and everyone's preparation to give us more flexibility and doesn't matter who's in those positions and we can all play every position whether it's covering somebody or running running and tackling yeah did you feel like that was the case before the Oregon game here? someone I'm saying is that something's been added uh it just you know rely on a little bit more go ahead yeah it did I've probably been a broska game uh me getting more safety reps and we had a five week to prepare so I really learned the playbook a lot more even though I knew the playbook if I learned a lot more it amount like in debt you know so uh really just after the Oregon game it helped me a lot to go back to safety go go to nico and everywhere

30:25you guys had a lot of issues of giving up big plays in a passing game of the first game against Oregon what do you feel like you guys need to do better this time around just to make sure that doesn't happen just the same same mindset we got to challenge these receivers um you know every dog has their day maybe some people didn't have their day that that game but um we'll look out there and hopefully change the narrative and we still play with the same confidence same technique and yeah hi this is Dave Roberts heading into summer without a medical emergency kit that's a risk summer colds can linger and getting sick on vacation can derail everything that's why everyone needs a medical emergency kit it includes doctor prescribed medications to treat common and serious illnesses so if you wake up sick at home or on the road you already have what you need it's like having an urgent care and pharmacy at home say 45 dollars with code blue at urgentcare kit.com slash blue urgentcare kit.com slash blue

Columbus this batch. and Denzel obviously had a tough game and that one what have you seen from him and how he's responded do you get a sense of from him how he's for this rematch? oh yeah he's super stoked for this rematch um his preparation has been very good he's always been preparing you know it didn't go the way he wanted to go that game but he just always had his confidence and we're going to see a big game out of him this week and you know I know you guys wanted to play them in anapolis but the fact that you get to play them

33:30at the Rose Bowl I mean get a second chance and people have said you don't get that very often how determined are you guys to take advantage of it? well we're super super determined we watch film I mean we've lost a lot of film the first time we play them now we've got another six games that they played up film to watch and it's just they've grown a lot as a team same as us we've grown a lot we're not the same team we were when we played them week one or weeks six or whatever but now we're out there and going to play fast physical and everything like that all right Jordan we're going to jump to the to assume a question here from Joey Kaufman Columbus this back my bad not to Joey Cameron T. Robinson the athletic hey Jordan um you've moved around a lot in the second day in your career and now kind of getting some many more safety reps what is it like at this point when when Walt or our coach knows comes to you and asks you to do some else and it's just how much can you lean on the experiences you've had moving around when you're trying to learn something new in the middle of the

34:32season uh means a lot we always talk about this is if it's being on selfish uh whether that's making plays or not making plays or doing your job so another person can make plays that's kind of what we pride ourselves on and it's just fun me moving around different positions uh I'm always up for a new challenge and a lot of people in the country can't do that I just hold myself to that standard where I can play any position and excel at it okay uh if anybody else needs a question let me know but otherwise we can go to Austin more of the podcast Jordan when you were talking about watching film Oregon which one do you think is more valuable to you watching that against your self you know seven games ago even if you've changed or the ensuing six games for Oregon which one do you put more stock in uh kind of both for me uh I kind of watch what I did things I did well things I didn't do too well against them and their team is that like their scheme has changed some players have been out uh those those stretch of games so uh I really watched the past game we played

35:37and I know they're gonna go back to some of the stuff that they liked of course and different games like Penn State maybe Illinois they run a lot of men so just watching watching stuff like that every game matters so yeah Jordan thank you very much thank you really playing as much so I just wanted to get like more experience under my belt so I can know bring younger guys with me because I've been through you know almost a second man up on you and tied what have you seen in the uh what was the workhorse he he gonna stay quiet he gonna work hard and that's all I love about him he focuses he don't really talk much he's just gonna get the job done do a job right rarely has any mistakes what it would be a successful season uh a national championship a ring when all the games we don't want to lose anything uh we got a mindset that we can't be

36:39beat and we just gotta go show it like we most of us don't have any years after this so we gotta go go bigger go home and we're not trying to go home finish 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 I mean you you were right there something goes a little different you guys could have been one 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 uh we just like work harder that's that's kind of coach makes uh saying you know nobody cares just work harder

37:40like those you know when we played Georgia it's the same thing uh 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 would be fine how frustrating is that you're that close against the last two national title? uh of course as you know it's frustrating but you can't change the outcome you can't really do I don't uh dwell on it you just got to you know come back and work harder do things better than you did last year and hopefully the outcome would change is that as you get older you kind of learn and I thought that was working hard and you always find out there's a little more you could have been doing yeah definitely I mean that's how that's what growing up is basically in college and I thought freshman year I was working as hard as I could but now I look back at it I really wasn't working hard at all compared to what I'm doing now so just to learn anything 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

38:44get the shape I think I think 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 online deline we got to get those younger guys to play you know get that pieces on the deline and the online and everywhere else so we can last that long run speaking of that like uh yeah I did unless we were like winning by like a lot uh I thought like there are no moms you know I can go sit down or something but we're playing them big games like you know Notre Dame too or North 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

39:46well it stands out about Kaden McDonald and he got it you guys in a 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 just he's grown right now he has a work ethic he just has to get you know in the playbook things like that you guys are about the exact same size you're both listen six three you're three twenty seven he's three twenty six yeah he's I kind of look at him like my my junior but you know K-Mac he's gonna be a great player he's just got to develop more in getting to play but it's really a lot on you older guys there's that large group of young guys and then there's the seniors in the back is that part of your task for this year to bring those guys yeah definitely we got to be leaders um like I said we 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 got to get them right during the all season so they can play and I just play they want to like contribute like make plays tackles sex yeah they're definitely some big dudes um and they all work hard I'm

40:57really seeing much it's only day two when I'm not as on but throughout the workouts they've been working hard you know they they're determined I just say that and it looks like they're ready to work there's a lot of great defenses that you have big athletic defensive tactics who can eat up space but also move you know right that is that is that an environment maybe for a great defense to 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 uh a couple of national championship winners are like see my Northe you know they got two good uh detaco two athletic detacles look at Georgia two athletic detacles so I think that's definitely need if you want to go on a big run and beat those big teams okay if you think about that they want to find why the defense attack was like what's Georgia Jordan Davis and Daniel Carter what's Michigan it's Chris Jenkins so tell the four questions you find it's funny like how I mean you understand it because you play it

42:00but I feel like some time I don't know it's about people realizing how important defense tackles are a little bit more than they used to I think so uh I think they're starting to develop to develop more and more of these like freakish detacles yeah like in the combine just now you seeing like those guys they're moving four to four seven eights and things like that so we'll see and when you think it when you think about this freakish how do you think you fit into that all 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 the combine I watch it do do the drills I have tape to you like look at my film so I think I'm what they were all the time I think I'm what they were all the time I think you become like a artist and it comes into bad young classes the figure wags have your things when you're going to spring practice you're not doing as much a weapon or the weapon that stuff how do you work on that do you have like a goal one mine I don't I don't remember how many I've last year but you have a goal in mind 35 how many do you want to have it? I mean as many as I can have I think I have more than that but I think

43:04it counts I think they count some of them and it's some of them where I like just missed it so 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 quarter of that is anywhere you can it's just great for the defense you know it's that little thing covering his eye you know he might throw it a little bit to the left to our player so so let's something that you really really have to work on you to try that with what you do it's it's really 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 past you know we don't have to ask I think I just have like a like a 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 so I don't know how your advantage if you want to be a high state quarterback I mean they get frustrated by you know we're a team you know we're just good watch a lot a lot of different backs man they just learn to grow for them

44:13I don't really have a top three but I'll give you I'll give you one I would say say quan Gibbs and I like McCaffrey auto he 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 with well Howard when 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 and he just the leader that he was man that's one thing I'm gonna remember about him yeah he's shoot he's gonna be really good man he's um Coach Lock I think he got the transfer in as well from West Virginia just that one two punch with them both as well they're gonna 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

45:16just as a as a person in as a player and so man yeah definitely Ohio State you know that running back room is in gray hands yeah coach coach hard line man he's full of energy man and 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 was being able to learn from coach hard line 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 they'll do really good just intensity man then since he got the playoffs um every game and it's like the intensity got you know higher and higher and so you know being able I know in the lead it's it's the same thing even if it's not the playoffs just every every game and then since 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

46:17State they definitely do a good job of preparing us for that you know I just remember even before going through this process I'll I'll talk to a lot of players um before then and they told me a lot of just about how much Ohio State prepared them you know for the NFL and so yeah yeah yeah yeah I know I took a couple days off after the um national championship and then shoot right after that I'm right in right in sample Florida and I'm right to it and so um yeah I think while I trained I trained at um Yo Merth performance um I think it's called the House of Athlete or the compound now um they they did they did a good job man they're just um bringing us in and the the way they went about training us man they were they did a really good job the bucket nearest know I haven't Tampa Tampa nice this is nice it's a nice city man really nice uh the 40 to broad and avert you've been uh racist and awesome locker in these meet your mentality of like when you've got a

47:22linebacker so you're the best bigger than you when you're in ready to wear a locker yeah uh yeah nah man uh it's really all about technique and then it's about mine said as well and so um I say you know it's for the love of my brother it's for the love of will highway it's for the love of the receivers who I got on the perimeter just making sure you know um first of all my quarterback doesn't get sacked um and I I told will I think it was before the first game I was like I got your brother it's uh I said man I'm not gonna let you get hit you know um and so um I don't know if I don't know if I gave up a sack I'm not sure that um but I know if I did I haven't given up too many and so man it's for the love of my brother's though man making sure the the ball get in their hands you know the guys on the outside and making sure they get fed you had to hit the practice field later today what is something you'd be working on right now in my game uh 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

48:23uh it's really just continuing 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 I feel like I did a good job of that my senior and so I just want to continue to build on that yes I did yes I did I did meet with new Orleans as well um 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 coldslinger and can turn into sinus infections at last for weeks getting sick right before vacation can derail everything and we're traveling finding a doctor and pharmacy is stressful that's why I ordered medical emergency kit it's like having an emergency care and a pharmacy right at home it includes essential prescriptions like a moxasillin and generic z-pack to treat a wide range of common and serious illnesses so if you wake up sick at home or on the road you already have what you need no waiting for your doctor no hours at urgent care no pharmacy lines no copays

51:31so smooth as well I'm not gonna lie he's smooth yeah inside zone from stack being able to hit that thing downhill and I'll say the next one it's probably just an option route out of the backfield you know a man and man coverage you're getting on that linebacker and so yeah I say the man the biggest thing is the way that he carries himself man in the way that man he approaches the game he comes in with the monster you know he's gonna work every single week you know every practice you know he's working hard you know even shoot it I don't know every good I think he had every game was a good game for him man and so but still man he always has the mentality to mindset that you know he's gonna come in each and every day he's gonna continue to work and get better man and so he's

52:32definitely man he's gonna be a special player man he really is man 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 not 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 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 when you're behind the scenes and you're going through things that people don't know about he gives you he gives you that peace and comfort you know even in those moments man where it's 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

53:33how do I have so much peace in this situation and so that's something that only Jesus Christ can give you and so man those guys have such a great mentality man I might just really love their mentality especially Q as well you know I talked about will Howard his leadership but Quinch on 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 then as soon as you know it you know he that running through somebody still forming somebody and shoot it's a gain to 10 it's uh yeah man I think it's just like he's just gifted man to be honest he's just

54:33gifted 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 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 Quinch on you know I want to look at this game is 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 Julian San oh yeah he's gonna be a great but he's gonna be a great quarterback man he's so so accurate and so um he's definitely man I know Coach Dez 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 he's going to be really good for high state uh he's that 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 San as well is to be that vocal leader and lead the um and lead to offense and lead to steam shoot man he has he has a build like JK Dobbins and um I kind of see them you know similar

55:38similarities in their game as well and I know JK Dobbins he was a great running back 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 committee here I remember watching JK Dobbins highlights like every every 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 appreciate you all yeah I'll be going

57:53you all I got coming in last shot I knew the role so I just attacked Eric Dave really the same way thank you very much very well physically how different are you weight wise body wise on that from the year oh I think I got a lot bigger I'm like 240 you know like 244 right now last shot I played it like 236 to 37 what does it feel like a 244 or a belt you feel like a almost a different machine out there yeah yeah what does it what does it feel like to be running around out there like you are but with more more back I just feel like I'm like like like like more downhill like stronger like I'm taking all blocks better it's bigger yeah is it daunting uh maybe

58:55that'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 instead what do you have to get straight in your head about being on the field that much more this is gotta get ready to just play there to more snaps so are you are you how would you describe how much you're looking forward to it from an age standpoint yeah I'm looking forward to it I'm ready for it my I'm ready for it 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 does that enhanced 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 and we know we got coming so we know we got to do we've been prepared for it I already just probably worked today I think Riley ready to play right now he he advanced freshman like he ended he in the book he stood in like he advanced and his measurements is crazy like he saw like the saw line too I said you're ready right you know you're ready what was that

59:57process like during last season could you feel yourself becoming more and more ready these are the team needed for you yeah because that's pretty much what my role 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 I used to one more time how different is that responsibility 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 it's going to be the same thing it's probably a little bit more for somebody who's some reason and what work how's everybody works you watch

1:01:06uh I say describe like now I say like when you think of me you would think of like a like a bullet like a silver bullet I don't really a bullet I'm always on the ball that's how I like to play a thing you know I ain't ain't got to be my nickname but oh yeah yeah yeah um think it fit me because I don't know I just like the defense I feel like we got like you say we got a lot of freedom and we moving around a lot a lot of the terms is like no I don't know I don't really not answer that that's okay does it you can go on your instincts a little bit more maybe that'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 defense I like how it's different because I like

1:02:07what you got going on uh now I wanted to much sad I was kind of like happy for you like yeah that's what you want no no that's my dog I'm gonna say yeah kind of missing a little bit but yeah I'm happy for you guys talk 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 as 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 a national championship but like you said my role wasn't same as how's gonna be this year so yeah I definitely want to go get another one experienced that like feeling maybe on feel a lot more place that's it great oh well thank you very much thank you so I feed and actually we use it to you right now sometimes like basketball want to be on that just like defend but you know I'm gonna stay still scoring some points

1:03:19yeah that's a great question I mean I don't they I feel like these two can answer that for the beer right now I think KJ and Hero can answer that well I don't know what to say about that every day you know this man is strong ready I'm talking about like you get the basketball gear like you can just do a thing so I know the fever covers really fast just the whole way I shake it's yeah and he got the grip right he doesn't give up on the playing like you said he's gonna go in and watch the film he's doing it every day and then you should see the hunger feel like the one you know that it's not you can see the improvement of the game here if you just follow around all these things he's done like a coach man he's done like a coach chip Kelly's in for exchange your mind about maybe like the idea of tackle versus guard because obviously his offensive predilection was for like yeah the offensive line play weekend as you can a part of me settling in the guard that's um I want to say maybe I don't know but I mean

1:04:26when I when I'm for sure you got the job I was really excited because I'm one of those guys the tempo I can run with the tempo you know I 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 65 yards but can you kick a football 75 yards like Lincoln just I think Lincoln what's your question how is your your room after he's he's a blessing man I can't complain he's a great guy his name's Lincoln Keen hoes oh he'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 a truth the growth pretty clean so Luke are you still of cross-training in tackle some or if you just been all guard this break oh so far I've been all guard um I really don't know like I said I'm taking it practice but practice I could end up being back attack like that not but you know I'm just really focused in on this past practice

1:05:31and the next one so yeah oh that mean a lot um you know you put a lot of work in to play here and he's been a dream just from being in Ohio kid is I'm from Ohio kid's perspective it's I mean that's the biggest wish possible I would just I would say that's that'd 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 can be a weird answer but it can feel like I was playing a game yet if that makes sense I hit 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 hit me after but my mom was like what'd you feel there and if like getting out there at the end of it just like honestly I don't know I felt less nervous I didn't hide school and I was like that makes no sense um 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 my first game so I'm up to do okay yeah no yeah so yeah

1:06:39padean Austin those are my guys man I mean even miles two I mean all three of them that's those are my roommates and they're progressing every day as well on and I'm excited to see where they where they can get to I'm excited to play on the field oh yeah you know I've been really helpful you know just keeping my mind just settled and straightforward on the next play it's a great question 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 play 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 coldslinger and can turn in design and infections at last for weeks getting sick right before vacation can derail everything and we're traveling finding a doctor and pharmacy is stressful that's why I ordered medical emergency kit it's like having an emergency care and a pharmacy right at home it includes essential prescriptions like a moxasillin and generic z-pack to treat a wide range of common and serious illnesses

1:11:56like that time with the ones you actually they really said it then um I was jumped in there I didn't really know so we like one or two practices with practices but like after those I was like you're out of good you know my confidence grew um yeah it seemed like there was sort of a settling in-proc process for you and the Akron game maybe play got better if the game went on it and really too especially in the ground game things seem to take on but what was there a moment when it clicked on the field for you like was there nerves and then a time of settling in I guess how taking you through kind of that first game mentally yeah um first game obviously you're gonna have nerves for your first time starter but then like after the first couple plays meaning I'm nerves naturally the answer first couple play that was good I was rolling also it was a weird thing first time a striker player I was saying it was also the first start yeah um you yeah it's but like I prepared well um and camp and practice all week

1:12:59and I was I was ready um yeah I have two multi-year starters it did a lot I mean I could ask them hey what we got here but I was prepared well I mean I was telling Jimmy and says like hey what are the blocks? puppy emotional excited it what it just has a guy from Ohio what does it mean to start it um it was always my dream to come here and play and start and having that like I mean I just like keep going keep building those days and go games and just keep building what a much younger Austin don't you know I don't think even I told like way I asked not yet younger self even committing I wouldn't believe that now having a couple of starts yeah awesome has this happened faster than you I guess you're technically a soft one

1:17:05hero in Jason Moore and Taiwan all those guys me pretty much anyone on the deepened line gets your face out of time so and came back as well so yeah you also you've heard a lot of them I would have more collected how about this ability it's definitely really a lot how much can he help you 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 Donnie and Tiger that means another voice and another captain look ways of having that and I'm with this much experience help man a lot he can tell you like before the play was going on like how to block someone like what you need to do and like that's a lot you're gonna talk about how calm he is how much does that benefit you have a guy who's kind of been there and seen it like it makes us us more calm like especially me and Tay as a first star so like we were

1:18:10up here what what said like he brought us down I mean we were like fine like our emotions weren't high we settled in is that like something he tells you is that something you pick up on by how he's acting how do you kind of mean sense what he's trying to do by 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 hey we're cool like we got it but it's pretty much like oh everyone oh cool group how much do the as a first time starter how much did you add that so mean a lot and that was my first time ever using high pads we didn't use the high pads in high school but I mean you can say like try to remember the defense you can just come on a silent bring up a play and get help probably the first or second after the I thought we say oh and said away awesome thank you very much it seems like training part is a part of but it's not a whole thing they're getting bigger it's wrong yeah it's like the culture part yeah how much of

1:19:16effect is that in a part it took your change that's it's also it's a lot and I mean it's I feel like you can't be able to transform your body like I like I have with like people here come and do that without having that mentality apart with it it's like we we always talk about competitions here and our our culture is fight so we're always here to compete and I feel like that is just that's what gets you in this mindset when you talk about that transformation can you just give us a little sense maybe with numbers or body fat or like you're the weight group how big is that transformation definitely I don't have really specific numbers but I just like it's more just like I can just I feel like feeling when I'm playing like I remember how I felt to play when I just got here and out I know how how it feels to play like like like just today like it feels physically different on my body it's like it's just it's I'm getting used to that makes sense

1:20:16almost you guys I can't imagine feeling like that um Kadea also said about you that you are just like completely different from last year we hear the word just get it down yeah look so you're here do you feel like you weren't at that place mentally I think I was but I think I had some uh I would say like kind of like confidence issues like I was just but you know I mean I work past it and uh I know I can I know why I am and I know I can be here so if you have confidence issues how do you get in is it yourself as your teammates there's someone in your family the big people that you can do it um I know I can do it it's not like that's those are those are all it's on the past now did the past the play time in the very obvious opportunity guys had to step up to be able to be that helped you get over that confidence issue there because it's now a neverance

1:21:16opportunity so kind of it's just like um just I mean it's just just being here like I feel like being here every day working with the guys every day it's just like you know you become this person that you might not have like you might not have like felt like you were before that but like coming here working every day stacking these days like like you know I mean I just feel like I I realized who I am and I know what I can do now well I want to be able to do this but are you this is the second time to like convince yourself that you actually belong here in the good I knew I knew I could play here I mean it's just it was like the like I just I don't know how to explain I just like I've always known I could play here it's just I'm just like let's go like I'm ready like I'm ready to attack

1:22:21with our guys the room to help you to figure that out which is a point for sure I think KJ was a big influence tie Hamilton tie league they all they all helped me a bunch last year kind of just pushing through you know I really plan as much so I just wanted to get like more experience under my belt so I can know bring younger guys with me because I've been through one of those younger guys we're seeing one of those younger guys we're seeing one of those first time I've heard all of your last years what have you seen from Will because I should have re-altered out of that because he was hurt now he's running you know almost a second man out of the unit tied what have you seen you know what you mean through it? Well as a workhorse he he goes stay quiet he goes work hard and that's what I love about him he focuses he don't really talk much he's going to get a job done do a job right really has any mistakes so what what would be a successful season? The 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 the lids you got to go

1:23:24show it seems like you guys expect the National Championship every year this year even more so you guys have all come back for this you guys have all decided like enough as a month is that is to keep feeling different or is there not really any difference it's just the same word? It's definitely a difference everyone working harder we noticed our last run like we most of us don't have any years after this so we got to go go bigger going home and we're not trying to go home 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 I mean you you were right there something goes a little different you guys could have been one 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 that's kind of coach makes of saying you know nobody cares just work harder like those you know we'll play Georgia it's the same thing

1:24:26last 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 title? Of course as you know it's frustrating but you can't change the outcome you can't really dwell on it you just got to you know come back and work harder do things better than you did last year and hopefully the outcome will change. As soon as you get older you kind of learn I thought I was working harder than you always find out there's a little more you could have been doing yeah definitely I mean that's how that's what growing up is basically in college and I thought French Mira was working it's hard as I could but now I 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 the answer is 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.

1:25:39You nervous about can you last that long? I think I think I definitely can last I was just you know we got to get the young guys to come along with as we can't play 50 snaps of game that's just too much on our bodies uh just everybody like online D-line we got to get those younger guys to play you know get that pieces on the D-line and the online and everywhere else so we can last that long run. I don't know if any of us were really expected to play that next time. Oh yeah I did unless we were like winning by like a lot uh I thought like there are no some moments you know I can go sit down or something but we're playing them big games like you know Notre Dame too or North 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 Taden McDonald and you guys that you guys have a little second game? 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 just he's growing right now he has a work I think he just

1:26:43has 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 at 6th or you're 327 he's 326. 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 and get into playbook. It's really a lot on you older guys there's that large group of young guys and 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 got to be leaders like I said we 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 got to get them right during the all season so they can play and not just play they want to like contribute like make plays tackles sex. Yeah they're definitely some big dudes and they all work hard I've only seen much it's only day two and I'm not bad at all but throughout the workouts they've been working hard you know they're determined

1:27:48it looks like they're ready to work together. I'm going to score this dude. It feels like there's a lot of great defense that you have big athletic defensive tackles you could eat up space but also move you know right to this back is that requirement maybe for great defense to have guys like you that have some fault but also a great secret. I think that is definitely I think if you look at the last couple of national championship winners are like team of Northe you know they got two good detackles two athletic detackles look at Georgia two athletic detackles so I think that's definitely need if you want to go on that big run that beat those big teams. Jordan Davis and James Carter let's miss again it's Chris Jenkins. 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.

1:28:49I think so I think they're starting to develop to develop more and more of these like freakiest detackles yeah like in the combine just now you see in like those guys they're moving for the 478s and things like that so we'll see. And when you think it when you think about this freakish tackle how do you think you fit into 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 detackles but I don't want to you know get a big head but you know I watch it come on I watch it do the drills I have tasted it like you're looking like my film so I think I'm up there with all those. I think your legs have your things. When you're going you're not doing it much a level of life. I mean as many as I can have I think I have more than that but I think they're counting. I think they're counting some of them and it's some of them where I like just

1:29:51missed it so but I think we work on Jordan matching the hand I think that's goes big and what we do is a D line you know just affecting the quarterback is any way 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 bit to the left to our player. So it's something that you really really have to work on. It's one of the things that you maybe worked on the most during your time here because there are a few guys that I've seen like oh that pastor takes a bit and we don't have to ask this guy. I think I just have like an 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 lot of different backs man they 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

1:31:01say, say, Juan Gibbs and I like McCaffrey. Although he was injured this year I like McCaffrey. Best back in this drive. I'll lead that up the yard that's y'all that's y'all decision. Playing well Howard when 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 shoot he's going to be really good man he's on Coastalog. 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 in as a player and so man yeah definitely Ohio State you know that running back

1:32:05from his engravings. Yeah coach coach hard line man he's full of energy man and 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 was being able to learn from coach hard line and so he's definitely creative at what he does and he brings a lot of energy to the team as well and so I think that would do really good. Just intensity man and since he did other playoffs every game and 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

1:33:07a lot of players before then and they told me a lot of just about how much Ohio State prepared them you know for the NFL and so yeah yeah yeah I know I took a couple days off after the um 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're traveling finding a doctor and pharmacy is stressful that's why I ordered medical emergency kit it's like having an emergency care and a pharmacy right at home it includes essential prescriptions like a moxasillin and generic z-pack to treat a wide range of common and serious illnesses so if you wake up sick at home or on the road you already have what you need no waiting for your doctor no hours at urgent care no pharmacy lines no co-pays just match your symptoms to the right prescription in your guidebook or call their telemedicine doctor standing by

1:36:15on bringing us in and the way they went about training us man they did a really good job the bucking ears know I haven't temple a temple nice this is nice it's a nice city man really nice uh the 40 to broad and avert train you've been uh raises an awesome locker yeah yeah nah man uh it's really all about technique and then it's about mine said as well and so um I say you know it's for the love of my brother it's for the love of Wil Howard it's for the love of the receivers who I got on the perimeter just making sure you know um first of all my quarterback doesn't get sacked um and I I told Wil I think it was before the first game I was like I got your brother it's uh I said man I'm not gonna let you get hit you know um and so um I don't know if I don't know if I gave up a sack I'm not sure that um but I know if I did I haven't given up too many and so man it's for the love of my brothers don't man making sure

1:37:19the ball getting their hands you know the guys on the outside and making sure they get fed in my game uh 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 uh it's really just continuing 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 I I feel like I did a good job of that my senior and so I just want to continue to build on that yes I did yes I did uh I did meet with um new Orleans as well um I never got that comparison actually um I know I have a Camera shoe yeah man I have a Camera great great back man um 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 like he's smooth yeah um inside zone from stack being able to hit that thing downhill

1:38:29and um I'll say the next one is probably just an option route out of the backfield you know and man and man coverage you're getting on that linebacker and so yeah I say the man the biggest thing is the way that he carries himself man in the way that man um he approaches the game he comes in with the monster 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 man and so but still man he always has the mentality the monster 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 a stand top man a lot of ups and downs man it's just how you respond to adversity and I feel

1:39:36like that's something that God has definitely helped me to do better is this um not 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 being able to lean on him you know he gives you in those moments where it's tough you know where it's slow 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 where it's 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 expect the future those other individuals to come from being around um man eight those guys have such a great mentality man I might just really love their mentality

1:40:42especially um Q as well you know I talked about will how are his leadership but quench your 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 that running through somebody still forming somebody and shoot it's a game to 10 it's uh shoot I think yeah man I think it's just like he's just gifted man to be honest 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 quenching you know I want to look at this game 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 Julian San oh yeah he's gonna be a great but he's gonna be a great quarterback man he's so

1:41:42so accurate and so um he's definitely man I know Coach Dez definitely going to get him right just you know um continue to grow as a leader continue to grow as a player and so he's going to he's gonna 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 him Julian San as well it's to be that vocal leader and lead the 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 every 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

1:42:45JK 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

1:44:45to all I got coming in last round new row so I just attack every day really the same way it's taking advantage very rough physically how different are you weight wise body wise all that from your uh 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 244 or better you feel like almost a different machine out there yeah like what's it what does it feel like to be running around out there like you are with more uh more back I just feel like I'm like like like like more downhill like stronger like I'm taking all bloods better it's bigger you see if 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

1:45:51this is gotta get ready to just play 30 more snaps so are you are you how would you describe how much you're looking forward to it from an 8cm well 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 so to say but it's not really two different teams compared to the last time y'all played and stuff but how's that enhanced uh this camp for you and this team getting ready for they were an opener of that magnitude yeah we're the opener like that we've been um we've been emphasizing it a lot we know we got coming so we know we gotta do we've been prepared for it um I think Riley ready to play right now he he advanced freshmen like he ended he in the book he stood in like he advanced and his measurements was crazy like he saw like the saw line too or well you said you're ready what was that process like during last season could you feel yourself becoming more and more ready so whatever the team needed for you yeah because that's pretty much what my role was just whenever I was needed I had to step up so I feel like that's

1:46:54what 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 given this year's analyze oh ask the one more time how different is that responsibility oh that was last year you knew you were a home man 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 attention over everything I did I feel like this year it's gonna be the same thing it's probably a little bit more and what work how's anybody worked you watch you uh I say describe my game I say like when you think of me you would think of like a like a bully like a silver

1:48:00bully I don't really a bully I'm always on the ball that's how I like to play and think no I ain't got to be my nickname but so I'm saying that the oh yeah yeah yeah yeah um 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're moving around a lot a lot of the terms is like you know I don't know I don't really not answer that 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 her pretty deep because I like what you got going on uh now I wanted to much sad I was kind of like happy for you yeah that's what you want

1:49:01no all right that's my dog I'll say yeah kind of missing a little bit but yeah I'm happy for you well don't thank you go ahead one last but coach days 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 as a guy who certainly contributed last year but will be in this bigger role and along the summer year you're classmates yeah I do feel like um yeah I do feel like I did win the nattie last year but like you said my role wasn't same as how's gonna be this year so yeah I definitely want to want to go get another one experienced that like feeling maybe on the field a lot more place great oh bell thank you very much unique offense compared to NFL especially with the way he uses receivers how do you anticipate your role changing and how do you view the offense from a receiver perspective specific yeah um I mean I think he likes to really push the ball down the field um he likes to be balanced he likes to

1:50:02give different looks to a difference you know we're going to not to try to get too much into it but you know we're going to use emotion move some guys around and things of that nature um I think for myself I feel comfortable playing any of the positions that is that is asked whether it's the slot the outside positions and um unique part about our offenses I don't think necessarily you play the X or the Z because the pit on the formation of the hash you can be the opposite you could you could be the X but then you're to the field now you're the Z so you got to really learn the entire concept and know where you're out in the field which I think makes everybody smarter players because you don't pigeonhole yourself I just play X you know I'm only know this position like you get in two minutes you're the Z now you got to know what to do you may have the clear outrout or you may have the backside dig like you got to know uh what you're doing so I think he doesn't just say like we're going to do this offense he's really trying to create an offense that fits our personnel really well that that field boundary thing yeah that's a thing in college but it seems like it's more unique to clip is that is that something you're used to seeing another offense has

1:51:05been yeah definitely I mean I think if if I'm on the left hash like technically I'm the X you know I'm in the boundary but if we're on the right hash I'm still on the left side I'm really the Z in the concept because I'm to the field to the strength of the tight end so um I've been in offenses like it's similar like that before and um you know I just think he he one thing I think that's really stood out as the compliments of our routes that we have so far um I feel like we have a chance to really um run similar stems but there's different routes off those stems and things like that which I think for receiver like myself who uh you get you know a really good look at DBs and they study your film they study your splits like having routes uh that look the same but break off a different different angles is extremely important because it feels like you have some versatility in your bag to go out with versus like you got this hitch again your backside like that's all you got you know what I mean so um yeah he's just been a really good

1:52:05person to work with and he's been really communicative with the leaders and how we want this offense to look like and some of the ideas that we may have as well so it's it's been a really uh cool transition you talk about the transitions you're third offense in three years probably your fourth and six years yeah how do you not kind of build up some barriers yeah man I gotta do this again right um I think you know human nature is is always um 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 coldslinger and can turn into sinus infections at last for weeks getting sick right before vacation can derail everything and we're traveling finding a doctor and pharmacy is stressful that's why I ordered medical emergency kit it's like having an emergency and a pharmacy right at home it includes essential prescriptions like a moxasillin and generic z-pack to treat a wide range of common and serious illnesses so if you wake up sick at home or on the road you already have what you need no waiting for your doctor no hours at urgent care no pharmacy

1:55:10a new year mentality each and every year and I think it's easy because we've had so many changes and it's been great working with Marcus and Jaden and Jeff and Sam all of everybody like it's been great with working with all the quarterbacks and I just have a mentality and not really being complacent like I try to really focus on the things that I I can come back better at this year and I've been working my my butt off to do that so I think the easy thing and when I was younger you're like dang like you just want that consistency you know what I mean like you want that something you could depend on but like life isn't life isn't always like that so I've been reinvigorated because of just the energy that DQ brings in to our building each and every day and and the coaches as well like it's fun competing you know what I mean and sometimes I could get lost in the grind but I think the reason why you make it here at this level is because you you fall in love with the competition of it and I think the competition breathes the success because

1:56:17that is really where you the iron truly sharpens iron so you know other guys are going to make plays but you get excited to go in there and and know that the next day we're going to go right back after the defense so for myself I'm just looking forward to continue to grow with the quarterbacks that we have I'm in year six now which is extreme blessing and leader one of the leaders in our room and I just try to take the bull by the horns with that and so that's really been my focus and you know I'm excited for another year to us it's looked like you're being more vocal on the sideline to help young guys definitely something you decided this offseason or I think that's been a part of my maturation process as a leader I've always seen myself as somebody that was a leader by example but from coaches and other teammates I've had over the years guys like to hear what I have to say for whatever reason sometimes you know and I think the biggest thing where I've tried to figure out where I fit in with my vocal leadership is I never wanted to be like a dictator you know

1:57:20I mean I never wanted to tell guys what to do or or be a yellow or things like that like when I say something I wanted to have power I wanted to have meaning and I hope you know the guys would feel the same way if they were to ask them that question because I want to see all these guys when man like it's it's hard to make it in this league and stay in a career and so anywhere I could help the receivers the DBs I'm talking to some alignment Johnny who's who's rehabbing his foot you know I mean like everybody has a role and everybody has a different story and path and so if I could share what I've been through my testimony to help them or do things that kind of slow down the process I'm gonna try to do that because we need everybody from the rookies to the 10-year vets to make this thing work so more so I try to speak to what I know and and really those honest conversations that I try to have with guys where they know I'm coming from a good place and I think I'm not the type of guy where I'm just going to talk in at them like if they see something like I could

1:58:21take a coaching point from Luke McCaffrey I could take a coaching point from Deami from Jahan from Marcus from anybody you know like I think that's what makes you a great player when you can really be coachable from anybody and not take it from a personal standpoint. Hi, how are you doing? Good, I'm going back to what you were saying about Cliff and offense. How is he as a teacher in teaching all of us? Yeah I mean I think he does a really great job of making things simple first and foremost he doesn't over-coach and I think that's the trust that he has in our group and his coaches are position coaches to fill in the details so we'll have an install meeting and it'll be a good amount of time but then our position coaches will have time and we'll make it specific to that position and so then we'll come in and have a walkthrough and then after that we'll have another walkthrough and so I don't think there's been a time where I've come out here and I'm kind of worried about what I got you know what I mean and when you get into certain offices there could be so many details where you could be overwhelmed and I think then it forces

1:59:24it kind of separates guys in a sense that like one guy may study more than another guy but when you have these these sessions that we have where we're having installs in the morning we're having two walkthroughs and then we're coming on the field and doing it like I think you notice a lot of guys are playing a lot faster and more confident because he's keeping it simple but also he's very particular in what he's expecting but it's not a lot so there's not a pressure of to get it right but at the same time you know it's expected of you and you know you're going to have the tools given to you to be successful out there on the field. And this is obviously just the totality of change from front office players coaches the turf field. What does that been like for you just to see yeah it's been fun you know I think from Mr. Harris and the entire ownership group down to Adam Peters down to DQ down to Jada who he drafted and bringing in Marcus and Jeff and all those guys and down to leaders we have on our team I think it was extremely specific on the way

2:00:25they tried to build this thing going into this year first having the right people bringing in leaders bringing in guys who love to compete. The first thing that DQ said when he came here was and his first meeting like if you love to compete this is going to be the place for you and I love it you know I mean I love bags and going at it with the DBs every day like the little mundane stuff can seem a little boring but that's I think that was where you make the gains during the offseason where you're really focused on hey I'm gonna give all I got for this day and I'm gonna get better and then I'm gonna learn from the film and come back tomorrow and ready to do it again and he also understands like the the benefits of having breaks like he's giving us breaks we've had you know weeks off here in there that we can compose ourselves but then come back and give it all we got you know what I mean and when you got a coach that understands the physicality of an entire season where you guys do need breaks by the same time we're going to get after it it makes it fun as a leader because you can take that to your room and be like yo we got these we got this week you know I mean that's extremely important but you know we have this little break coming up where you're going to get

2:01:29your your mind and your body and your soul right so coming into this season I'm really optimistic of what we can be this year and I think it started with the foundation that the ownership group and the entire staff has built and now it's on myself as a leader to continue to hone that in into the locker room but I think it's great because we have so many great leaders from all across the league who have won and hey we got Bobby Wagner in there you know I mean I asked a hall of fame or so like you know being able to have kind of guys like that that you can lean on that can sometimes take over that leadership role where it doesn't fall on one person I think it's uh uh extremely refreshing and knowing that everybody's on the same page and the message is the same allows you to go out there with confidence and always expect to know you. Terry you seem to spend many of your off seasons learning about things beyond football how do you do anything this whole season so far to hobbies or increase your knowledge of this the world around you. Let's see the question um play a lot of golf as that they just keeps my

2:02:34competitive juices flowing um uh plan in a wedding that's going well and uh man I've just been grinding like honestly you know I mean I've been hungry this all season like I started working you know pretty early and uh you start to see guys like coming back and it's just fun to like to be here and compete and feel like everybody's on the same page you know what I mean like and so for me I'm a grind every off season but just this one just feels like it's the start of something you know new and special and the foundation of is extremely important and to be a part of that to have a hand in that um hi this is Dave Roberts heading into summer without a medical emergency kit that's a risk summer colds can linger and getting sick on vacation can derail everything that's why everyone needs a medical emergency kit it includes doctor prescribed medications to treat common and serious illnesses so if you wake up sick at home or on the road

2:04:38of people on calciss lose money lose money lose money that's calciss in their own CEOs words go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more you know it's it's an honor you know and I put a lot of expectation on myself to come out here and be the guy that I know I'm capable of and also like take him the next step and being somebody that our quarterbacks that can trust and believe in so this all season was pretty simple for me it was just really about you know working and and and grinding and getting better he talked about jaden before and so far I know we haven't seen everything but in terms of his his arm strength the throws he's making anything surprising so far about the types of his ability in that regard definitely I think after the second or third cross or that he threw I started telling receivers like hey you gotta get your head around you know I mean because again each quarterback throws the ball differently and sees the field differently so sometimes on crossers a lot of quarterbacks may like to see you cross the ball and get into that open zone over there if it's man flattened off they

2:05:38like to see you get open where him he has a really good anticipation over the middle of the field where he can make those throws and give you a chance to catch and run and he he's really accountable to like we had to play today where he felt like he missed me and you know it's not a big deal at all you know I mean him and I could talk to those things and there's been a play that I've talked to him about I could do a better job but again like that open that open form of communication from a rookie I think is it's very rare and I think it speaks to the confidence he knows who he is but he's also not afraid to say when he's wrong and he knows he needs room to improve but his touch on the deep balls is amazing you know I love getting extra reps with practice after practice with him we're just catching the top end of a deep ball that's big for me you know I mean I get to track the ball over my shoulder and it's big for him to be able to get used to dropping the ball in the bucket but he just naturally has an ability to throw the ball he sees the windows really well and now he's just you know continue to get adjusted to the speed in the past rush I think he's these reps that he's getting are unbelievable during 11 on 11 because he's getting to feel pain and

2:06:42allen and DA and Cleveland Farrow like we got some dogs up there who are gonna come after him you know what I mean and we got some great guys up front who are gonna protect them and so these reps I feel like are even better than just seven on seven seven on seven I think he could do in the sleep to be fair like he throws the ball really well but when you get this 11 on 11 two-minute drill you're putting them in game like situations and I'm looking them in his eye I'm like you play a real ball now like we we we playing you know I mean and you just see no no anxiousness in his game in his demeanor which is extremely exciting and and then you know he's extremely light hearted and he's always smiling so he's joking with lime and D line he's just cool with everybody and like I said like for a rookie quarterback to come in like that where guys are gravitating to him and he's not afraid to be who he is that's dope I think he has a bright future for himself the tough losses the tough seasons can weigh on a player sure you're entering the prime of your career Jay kind of mentioned it last year all he cares about is winning he wants to win now is there a sense of urgency you obviously always want to win yeah knowing that you know

2:07:46you're you're getting to the prime your career like you want to win now yeah I think that's a fair question I think you know you start to evaluate when you I'm in year six and you know it's how fast it goes and I try not to put the cart before the horse we're looking too far ahead by the same time you do want to win you want to be a part of a winning culture and have a chance to win the Super Bowl and the playoffs and all those things like that's why we we do this personally and I'm just excited with being a part of a organization in an environment where now like everybody's on the same page in the in the in the message is uniform and it speaks from the top down and it reflects in the guys that they're bringing in you know all the guys that they brought in are guys who are hungry who are competitors who not only fighting for spots but we're going to help us win games and when you're around an environment like that like that that makes you excited makes you hopeful and you know you don't know how it's going to turn out until we start playing games but the foundations

2:08:48is extremely important and I think this offseason we've really done a great job of building that they have and then when a coach Quinn guy here building with this team so I feel like we're going to be going into this offseason really knowing what we all got to do individually to become ready for camp but the the message is clear to come back to camp ready to compete and and be ready to win thanks Derek appreciate you guys yeah really playing as much so I just wanted to get like more experience under my belt so I can know bring younger guys with me because I've been through a lot of those younger guys we're seeing it out here it's the first time it's hurt all your life here it's really simple well because I kind of don't like why should we all forgot about it because he was hurt now he's running you know almost a second man out behind you and tied what have you seen you remember those games right

2:09:49well as a workhorse he he goes stay quiet you go work hard and 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 really has any mistakes what would be a successful season a national championship I'm reading when all the games we don't want to lose anything we got a mindset that we can't be beat which we got to go so I think that's a different it seems like you guys expect the national championship every year this year even more so you guys have all come back for this you guys have all decided like enough as a lot because that is you can feel the difference or is there not really any difference it's just the same work it's definitely a difference everyone working harder we know this our last run and we most of us don't have any years after this so we got to go go bigger go home and we're not trying to go home finish 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 I mean you you were right there something goes a little

2:10:53different you guys could have been one that came 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 that's kind of coach makes of saying you know nobody cares just work harder like those no one played Georgia it's the same thing 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 title of course as you know it's frustrating but you can't change the outcome you can't really dwell on it you just got to you know 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 you always find out there's a little more yeah definitely I mean that's how that's what growing up is basically in college I thought freshman year I was working as hard as I could but now I look back at it I really wasn't working hard at all compared to

2:11:56what I'm doing now so just to learn anything 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 a run harder I think I think 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 just everybody like online D line we got to get those younger guys to play you know get that pieces on the D line and online and everywhere else so we can last that long run speaking of life plan

2:12:56that means after that last year I don't know if any of us were expected to play that next time oh yeah I did unless we were like winning by like a line I thought like there are no mommy's you not gonna sit down or something but we're playing them big games like you know Notre Dame too or North those kind of games I of course I want to be because I know I contribute and I won't want to put that on anyone else when I know I get the job oh yeah definitely came back is a came back to animal y'all you haven't really seen it yet but in practice he shows all the time he's just he's just he's growing right now he has a work I think he just has to get you know in the playbook things like that you guys are about the exact same size you're both listen six three you're three 27 he's three 26 yeah he's I kind of look at him like my my junior but you know can't make he gonna be a great player he's got to develop more and getting a playbook so really a lot on you older guys there's that large group of young guys and then they see seniors in your back is that part of your task for this year to bring those guys yeah definitely we got to be leaders

2:14:01like I said we 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 got to get them right during the all season so they can play and I just play they want to like contribute like make plays tackle six stage yeah they're definitely some big dudes and they all work hard I'm really seeing much of some the day two when I'm passing on but throughout the workouts they've been working hard you know they they're determined I'd say that and it looks like they're ready to work with me great defense is that you have big athletic defense attack to get eat up space but also move you know right there is that is that an inquire maybe for great defense to have guys like you that have some fault but also a great feat I think that is definitely I think if you look at the last

2:15:03couple of nice and championship winners are like team of North they didn't know they got two good detaco two athletic detacles look at Georgia two athletic detacles so I think that's definitely need if you want to go on a big run and beat those big teams if you think about that they're going to fight by the defense with actors like what's Georgia this Jordan Davis and Dylan Carter let's miss again it's Chris Jenkins tell me more questions you might wonder like how I mean you understand it because you play it but I feel like some time I don't know it's about 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 freakish detacles yeah like in the combine just now you see in like those guys they're moving four to four seven eights and things like that so we'll see and when you think it when you think about those freakish how do you think you fit into that all 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 I watch the come on I watch

2:16:06it do do the drills I have tape here you like looking like my film so I think I'm up there all the time I think you become like a artist I mean there's many as I can have I think I have more than that but I think they're counting I think they're counting some of them and it's some of them where I like just missed it so but I think we work on drove matching the hand I think that's uh goes big and uh what we do is a D line you know just affecting the quarter bag is anyway 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 bit to the left to our player so it's something that you really really have to work on you that's one of the things that you've maybe worked on the most three-year time here because there are a few guys that I've seen like oh that passed me

2:17:10two days ago we don't have that kind of expected for the physical I think I just have like a like a eye for the ball comment I kind of just look at the quarterback and just I see him I load up I just try to get in his ways and sometimes he just throws it to me I mean they get frustrated by you know we're seeing we're just getting better much a lot of a lot of different backs man they 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 quan Gibbs and I like McCaffrey auto he 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 when I'm going to remember most

2:18:14we'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 gonna remember about him yeah he's he's gonna be really good man he's um coastal lock I think he got the transfer in as well from West Virginia just that one two punch with them both as well they're gonna 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 gray hands yeah coach coach heartline man he's full of energy man and 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 was being able to learn from coach heartline and so he's definitely creative

2:19:17at what he's he does and he brings a lot of energy to the team as well and so I think they'll do really good just intensity man then since he did other playoffs um every game and 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 how I'll talk to a lot of players um before then and they told me a lot of just about how much Ohio State prepared them you know for the NFL and so yeah yeah yeah I know I took a couple days off after the um national championship and then

2:20:18shoot right after that I'm right in right in sample Florida and I'm right to it and so um yeah I think while trained I trained at um your morph performance um I think it's called the House of Athlete or the compound now um they did they did a good job man they're just bringing us in and the the way they went about training us man they were they did a really good job the bucking nearest no I haven't Tampa Tampa nice this is nice it's a nice city man really nice uh the 40 to broad and avert so you've been uh racist and awesome locker you need to be pure mentality of like when you've got a linebacker so you're the jab bigger than you and you're getting ready to square up yeah uh yeah no man uh it's really all about technique and then it's about mine said as well and so um I say you know it's for the love of my brother it's for the love of will highway it's for the love of the receivers who I got on the perimeter just making sure you know um first of all my quarterback doesn't get sacked um and I I told will I think it was before the first game

2:21:21I was like I got your brother it's uh I said man I'm not gonna let you get hit you know um and so um I don't know if I don't know if I gave up a sack I'm not sure that um but I know if I did I haven't given up too many and so man it's for the love of my brother's though man making sure that the ball get in their hands you know the guys on the outside and making sure they get fed in my game uh 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 uh it's really just continuing 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 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 I did me with um New Orleans as well um I never got that comparison actually um I know I

2:22:22know Camera sure yeah man I would come here great great back man um 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 like he's smooth yeah 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 and man and man coverage you're getting on that linebacker and so yeah I say the man the biggest thing is the way that he carries himself man in the 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 it I don't know every good I think he had it every game was a good game for him man and so but still man he

2:23:26always has the mentality the 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 man man 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 just um not 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 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 where it's so hard that you

2:24:27can't you can't explain it's like man I'm going through this but like how am I still feel 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 um man those guys have such a great mentality man I might just really love their mentality especially um Q as well you know I talked about Will Howard his leadership but Quincham 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 that running through somebody step on somebody and she was just gaining a 10 and so you just realized he's different to guys yeah um shoot I think yeah man I think it's just like

2:25:30he's just gifted man to be honest 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 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 Quincham you know I want to look at this game is 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. Julian San oh yeah he's gonna be a great but he's gonna be a great quarterback man he's so so accurate and so um he's definitely man I know Coach Dez definitely going to get him right just you know um continue to grow as a leader continue to grow as a player and so he's going he's gonna be really good for high state. He's 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 San as well it's to be that vocal leader and lead the um and lead to offensive lead to steam.

2:26:32Shoot 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 now um a lot but man his career here you watch his highlights is great I remember um before I recruit before I committee here I remember watching JK Dobbins hop.

2:31:02time all I got coming in last round new year so I just attacked every day really the same way it's taking advantage very well physically very different are you weight wise body wise on that from your uh my thing 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 bell you feel like almost a different machine out there yeah like what's it what does it feel like to be running around out there like you are but with more more bad I just feel like I'm like like like like more downhill like stronger like I'm taking a lot better it's bigger yeah is it daunting 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 but what do you have to get straight in your head about being on the field that much more

2:32:08this is gotta 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 8th standpoint yeah I'm looking forward to it I'm ready for it my I'm ready for it I think it's open it's a rematch so it's okay but it's not really two different teams compared to the last time you know played stuff but how's that enhanced 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 think Riley ready to play right now he he advanced freshman like he ended he in the book he stood in like he advanced and his measurements was crazy like he saw like the saw line to him or like you said you're ready right you know you're ready what was that process like during last season could you feel yourself becoming more and more ready for whatever the team needed for you yeah because that's pretty much what my role was just whenever I was needed I had to step up so

2:33:11I 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 oh I still want one time how different is that responsibility oh that one last year you knew you were a whole way um 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 attention to everything I did I feel like this year it's gonna be the same thing it's probably a little bit more and what word how's my words you watch uh I say

2:34:12scrawling now I say like when you think of me you're thinking like a like a bully like a silver bullet I don't really do bully I'm always on the ball that's how I like to play and think no I ain't got to be my nickname but oh yeah um think it fit me because I'm just like the defense I feel like we got like you say we got a lot of freedom man we moving around a lot a lot of the times is like no I don't know I don't really not answer that that's okay does it you get to 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 his defense I like how to put your defense I like what you got going on what was it sad when CJ left me right now I wanted to much sad I was kind of like

2:35:15happy for me yeah that's what you want no that's my dog I'm gonna say yeah kind of missing a little bit but yeah I'm happy for you don't think go ahead one last but coach days 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 win your own how much do you feel that is a guy who certainly contributed last year but will be in this bigger role and I want to sum your classmates yeah I do feel like yeah I do feel like I did win a nattie last year but like you say my role wasn't same as how's my beaters year so yeah I definitely want to go get another one experienced that like feeling with me be on the field a lot more place great oh well thank you very much thanks so I feel like I kind of have a lot of meters on the D line at the end position so we kind of all kind of just count off each other

2:36:23competitive we love it we're all competitive people we all love to fish each other and I feel like the springing the best side of all is we're all just kind of bouncing off each other to 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 thing you know you're gonna last year and you got to get the shot did they approach you without out there and two coached him I mean how did it come about because your checks are your slot me okay so I definitely didn't high school I was full back and a little bit tight and so I feel like they kind of saw what I could do there and coach Wilson obviously you love watching it too before you left and I feel like you playing that seat and coach day's head and coach day kind of just went for it and I tried to do the best I could to do it new playbook I did not know you haven't got that far um 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 I'll try to do my best for you

2:37:28kid Jack you the same thing oh yeah don't lie what you're laughing that's why kids is talking to coach Johnson on Tuesday about some of the conversations and sort of saw you and got out to have some conversations after JT and Jack decided to come back just got to win into those from your perspective and how did that help you maybe get the right mindset I guess a million years ago um definitely kind of seeing it all the way through if you like uh 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's happening all that time from here to to this so uh I feel like we definitely just coached in the kind of connected and maybe kind of just talks man or man and uh he kind of just sat straight to me and I feel like we kind of both are going on and we know we're making it yada making each other better every day we got the four best Dn's five best Dn's honestly in college football and we're going to be one of the best D lines in college football you feel like a better player today anymore if you have well I feel like I've taken big steps in my roles of just being responsible and being more of a leader

2:38:33and uh 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 uh feel like I'm kind of helping out more I mean it sounds bizarre but I mean the season goes by so fast already so when you're kind of like week 10 and you're like wow it's already week 10 so now it's kind of gives you more time to kind of enjoy it kind of save it because you're fresh with fresh fresh fresh crazy but you don't want to spend all your powder for the first uh first month of the year right there is that not pace yourself yeah I mean there's a mindset yeah definitely definitely gonna have that the mental stability that handle all those weeks all those practices how much has Larry talked to you guys about the last question right here 2016 2017 4 and about two French words all in the same location how much does he talk to that I mean he doesn't have to talk about it we know about it we've seen it every day we watched the film we see them all working together we know what it could be we know we could become so we know we we're right at the same right the right place at the

2:39:35right time and god wanted us to be here and he knew we wanted us all to come together and kind of play together and be able to bounce off and uh just perfect our craft together and I feel like we all are just great individuals and we come together it's something special great plan as much so I just wanted to get like more experience under my belt so I can know bring younger guys with me because I've been going one of those younger guys we're seeing it's the first time I just heard all your lectures what's it really seems to well because kind of a question we all forgot about it because he was heard and now he's running you know almost a second man up behind you and Ty what have you seen you in the time? Well as a workhorse he he goes stay quiet you go and work hard and that's what I love about the focus is he don't really talk much he's going to get the job done do a job right really has any mistakes? So what what would be a successful season? A national championship? I'm reading when all the games we don't want to lose anything we got a mindset that we can't be

2:40:36beat which guy goes show it. It seems like you guys expect a national championship every year this year even more so you guys have all come back with this you guys have all decided like a numbers and output is that is he feel the difference or is it not really any difference it's just the same word? It's definitely a difference everyone working harder we noticed our last run like we most of us don't have any years after this so we got to go go bigger go home then we not trying to go home. Finish 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 you were right there something 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 that's kind of coach makes of saying you know nobody cares just work harder like those you know we'll play Georgia

2:41:39the 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 you know it's frustrating but you can't change the outcome you can't really dwell on it you just gotta you know come back and work harder do things better than you did last year and hopefully the outcome will change. As soon as you get older you kind of learned I thought I was working hard and you always find out there's a little more than you could have been doing. Yeah definitely I mean that's how that's what growing up is basically in college. I thought freshman year I was working as hard as I could but now I look back at it I really wasn't working hard at all compared to what I'm doing now so just to learn anything. But for stamina it's a 60 then the answer to 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 gotta run harder in shape.

2:42:52You know this about can you last that long? I think I think I definitely can last I was just you know we got to get the young guys that come along with us we can't play 50 snaps a game that's just too much on our bodies uh just everybody like online D-line we gotta get those younger guys to play you know get that pieces on the D-line and the online and everywhere else so we can last that long run. I don't know if any of us were really expected by that next time. Uh yeah I did unless we were like winning by like a lot uh I thought like there are no some moments you know I can go sit down or something but we're playing them big games like you know Notre Dame too or no those kind of games I 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 get the job done. What stands out about Taden McDonald's you got the team that you guys are a little stuck in here? Oh yeah definitely K-Mac is a K-Mac animal y'all you haven't really seen it yet but in practice he shows all the time he's just he's just he's growing right now he has a work ethic he just has to

2:43:57get you know in the playbook things like that. You guys are about the exact same size. Listen you're both listening six three you're three twenty seven he's three twenty six. Yeah he's I kind of look at him like my my junior but you know K-Mac he's gonna be a great player he's just gotta develop more and getting a playbook. It's really a lot on you older guys there's that large group of young guys and there's the seniors in the back is that part of your task for this year to bring those guys? Yeah definitely we got to be leaders like I say 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 got to get them right during the all season so they can play and not just play they want to like contribute like make plays tackles sex. Yeah they're definitely some big dudes and they all work hard I'm really seeing much it's only day two when I'm passing on but throughout the workouts they've been working hard you know they

2:44:58they're determined and it looks like they're ready to work with me. I'm supporting this dude. It feels like there's a lot of great defenses that you have big athletic defense tactics you can eat up space but also move you know right that is that. Is that a requirement maybe for great defense to have guys like you that have some balls but also a great feature? I think that is definitely I think if you look at the last couple of national championship winners like Seymour North they didn't know they got two good detacled two athletic detacles look at Georgia two athletic detacles so I think that's definitely neat if you want to go on that big run and beat those big teams. If you think about this they're going to find by the defense attack. What's Georgia? Jordan Davis and Janet Carter. What's Michigan is? Chris Jenkins. Tell me more questions. What do you think about this fight? How? I mean you understand this because you play it but I feel like some time I don't know are people realizing how important defense tackles are

2:46:01a little bit more than they used to? I think so I think they're starting to develop more and more of these like freakiest detacles. Yeah like in the combine just now you see in like those guys they're moving four to seven eights and things like that so we'll see. And when you think about this freakish attack how do you think you fit into that mold of that kind of player? You watch that and say yeah that's me. Oh 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 the combine I watch the doodoo drills. I have tape here you're like you're looking like my film so I think I'm up there with all of them. Do you become like a artist or from some band-up passes the figure wags kind of your things? I mean when you're going to bring practice you're not doing as much a weapon on the left hand. Oh yeah I'm struggling. How do you work on that? Do you have like a goal where mine's? I don't remember how many bad lines you're like you have a goal on my score to five? How many people in that? I mean as many as I can have I think I have more than that but I think he said it on my head. I think they didn't count some of them and some of them were like just

2:47:05listed so 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 quarter of that is anywhere you can it's just great for the defense you know just that little thing you cover it is I you know he might throw it a little bit to the left to our player so. So let's something that you really really have to work on. I think I just have like a like a 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's those against me. I mean they get frustrated by you know we're a team you know we're just getting better. I should lot of a lot of different backs man and just learn to grow for them.

2:48:10I 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 he 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 with Will Howard when I'm going to remember most uh 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 gonna remember about him. Yeah he's shoot he's gonna be really good man he's um Coach Lock I think he got the transfer in as well from West Virginia just that one two punch with them both as well they're gonna 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

2:49:13person in as a player and so man yeah definitely Ohio State you know that running backroom is in gray hands. Yeah um coach coach hard line man he's full of energy man and um 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 was being able to learn from um coach hard line 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 they'll do really good um just intensity man then since he got the playoffs um every game and it's like the intensity got you know higher and higher and so um you know being able I know in the lead it's it's the same thing even if it's not the playoffs it's every every game and then 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

2:50:16preparing us for that you know I just remember even before going through this process I'll I'll talk to a lot of players um before then and they told me a lot of just about how much Ohio State prepared them you know for the NFL and so yeah yeah I know I took a couple days off after the um national championship and then shoot right after that I'm right in right in sample floater and I'm right to it and so um yeah I think while trained I trained at um your morph performance um I think it's called the house of athlete or the compound now um they did they did a good job man it just um bringing us in and the the way they went about training us man they were they did it the ocean moves us surfing a wave or savoring the view the ocean delights us as playful otters restore coastal cal poris the ocean connects us visit monoraybayakurium.org slash connects CalShi's own CEO says it himself and he has two thirds of people on CalShi lose money

2:54:32know i'm a comar shoot yeah man i'm a comar great great back man um just what he does and knows one on one matchups he's dangerous man and he's so smooth he's so smooth as well i'm not going like he's smooth yeah 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 and man and man coverage you're getting on that linebacker and so yeah i say the man the biggest thing is the way that he carries himself man and the way that man um he approaches the game he comes in with the monster 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 man and so but still man he always has

2:55:36him and tired to the monster 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 man man uh 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 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 where it's so hard that you

2:56:37you can't you can't explain it's like man i'm going through this but like how am i still feel 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 so um man eight 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 how are his leadership but quenchon mentality man um that boy just yeah that boy just gifted you know you see you know sometimes he put in the situation where he looked like you know he should have a negative five yards and as soon as you know it you know he that running through somebody step on somebody and shoot it's a gain of 10 it's uh so you some of the things he does he just realized it's too different actually um shoot i think

2:57:38yeah 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 quenchon you know i want to look at this game is 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 julian saying oh yeah he's gonna be a great but he's gonna 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 he's gonna 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 them julian saying as well it's to be that vocal leader and lead the um and lead the offense and lead the team

2:58:41shoot 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 every 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 appreciate you all y'all be going

3:01:19well i got coming in last round new row so i just attack every day really the same way it's a really fancy area basically how different are you weight wise body wise on that from the year ago um i think i got a lot bigger i'm like 240 you know i'm like 244 right now last year i played it like 236 to 37 what does it feel like a 244 or a belly you feel like an almost a different machine out there yeah like what does it what does it feel like to be run around out there like you are but with more uh more back i just feel like i'm like like like like more downhill like stronger like i'm taking old bloods better it's bigger yeah 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 instead of what do you have to get straight in your head about being on the field that much more this is gotta get ready to just play 30 more snaps so

3:02:21but are you are you how would you describe how much you're looking forward to it from an 8th point yeah i'm looking forward to it i'm ready for it my i'm ready for it i think it's not really two different teams comparing the ones time y'all play this stuff how does that enhance this camp for you and this team getting ready for the where an opener of that magnitude yeah what an opener like that we've been um with the emphasizing in 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 i think roly ready to play right now he he advanced freshman like he ended he in the book he stood in like he advanced and his measurements crazy like he saw like a saw line to him or like 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 every the team needed to do yeah because that's pretty much what my role 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

3:03:23year 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 asked a one more time how different is that response to all that it was last year you knew you were a whole way um 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 it's gonna be the same thing it's probably a little bit more it won't work uh i say describe like now i say like when you think of me you would think of like a like a bullet like a silver

3:04:26i don't really know what it's like to play a thing no i ain't got to be my nickname but oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah um 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're moving around a lot a lot of the times is like no i don't know i don't really know how to answer that that's okay does it you get to go on your instincts a little bit more baby 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 his defense i like how the three to the defense i like what he got going on what was it sad when you did that for me uh now i wanted to much sad i was kind of like happy for you yeah that's what you want

3:05:30no that's my dog i'm gonna say it kind of missing a little bit but yeah i'm happy for you all right well don't think go ahead one last but coach days 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 as a guy who certainly contributed last year but will be in this bigger role and along with some of your your classmates yeah i do feel like um yeah i do feel like i did win a national championship but like you said my role wasn't same as how's my beaters year so yeah i definitely want to want to go get another one experienced that like feeling maybe on the field a lot more place great well thank you very much thank you so much for your championship and naked you know before and everything like that and also need to get your your teeth knocked in you know first game and you know can't have that happening because then you know really doesn't mean anything and so just the constant mindset to continually get better but on the forefront of my mind and forefront of anyone here you can ask

3:06:32yeah yeah i know we uh we look at the uh the class sets every now and then i'd be like oh man they're gone they're gone uh no it's been um it's been good i mean the guys who are still here um as i've definitely kind of bonded together pretty good so yeah i mean uh you know marve came in the other day is like that class 12 one best class ever and like yes you're okay you know i can't really can't really even you know just sitting to that you know i don't have much left but um uh yeah i mean to do what we can and do what we can for this team has been really important for all of us and i think us now realizing where the veterans you know like where the old guys now mean or just been um kind of strange at least to begin with you know because you go from all those guys you like donny and josh and those guys and all of sudden it's Sunday we have a team meeting after the um like the celebration the shoe and all of a sudden the next day there's

3:07:36gone and you know it's it's just very different so i think us being able to step up as you know leaders and as um as vets to help bring out you know along the team our units and um this program has been really important. What are you doing overall? You two more questions uh just to try um but then you were here on this long journey for sure Luke said that jade goes and he goes so far he didn't pretend to talk to him but he's playing on somebody who went through that would have been impressed by it with jade coming in and taking that back after what he was hoping to do. No it could have been doing really well. I mean i could go and he goes to work um he's extremely athletic, extremely flexible um you know he's a young kid obviously he's a lot of a lot of development a lot of he's a little adversity at all of us do um but i think he's going through that right now but he's been um coming out on the better end of it so far and um excited to see what he can do because he's very impressive at this young stage. What is your overall level of excitement just to be back with it? The rest of the sit you're off to line with you guys having something just experience back

3:08:39yeah extremely excited i mean um trying to just build that culture back up again you know like what we had last year uh i we're trying to do a little stuff here and there and i know i think we're going to ray rays of barbecue i think tomorrow um so shout out ray rays but uh um but yeah i just trying to uh get that brotherhood back get that you know that oblock spirit back uh sure it's coming soon um hopefully um but uh just uh kind of get those uh not those same faces but those same kind of mindsets back and our our group is important right now and it's it's been fun to meet new guys from different backgrounds and stuff like that um and try to figure out how to you know build that and mend that together it's been pretty cool. Now as you are one of the most experienced veterans on this team how much do you feel like you have to be a leader for the students yeah for sure i mean i think that comes um it's obviously i don't feel like it's natural to anyone to immediately step up and that's something i've been working on every day and talking to god about um but i obviously understand that and that's something i want to continue

3:09:42to work on i want to be able to um be a guy that people can fall back on and like coach just saying before like we're gonna have highs in those but the great players the ones being set our clocks do and i kind of want that's my goal is to be one of those people that you can do that and i think for especially a very new set of eyes um in the woody um not only coaches but players um i think it's very important to kind of keep that steady um mindset and i think for me learning how to be a leader has been important just uh not be too hard on myself but also not let myself kind of slack off in some departments to try to keep um steady. Yes your story itself though is testament of what it means to like for perseverance and stuff too though right car some mean you know that's uh that's gonna have to stand up from somebody to say that right i mean just yeah what do you what do you think you've shown more than anything else in every card? yeah i mean i've been blessed you know i've you know i've been blessed with a lot of adversity i think that's definitely made me better on the back end and um you know coach so it

3:10:45coach day always talks about it and you don't you know great leaders aren't you know they can show it but you know a lot of people can show a lot a lot of people can just talk about it um but to be about it is important and i think um to be enough went through a lot of that adversity i went through a lot of that stuff and um my testament you know has been um written in an interesting way but i think for me to take that next step is really important for not only for this team but for myself personally yeah uh he's been doing great i mean he came in um big freaking strong uh he's fun to be in the weight room with uh he's uh he's kind of quiet like that's kind of my first impression on but he's actually pretty funny dude he he and his dad come over and they kind of joke around and he's so he's been doing a great job or he's been doing a great job um for his size he has like freaky athletic feet like i watch him do the ladders and that's a lot of massive over on those things you know doing the little icky shuffle but i mean he he's he was killing it and so he's been doing a great job i can't wait to see um how he kind of continues to develop um throughout this summer and uh throughout

3:11:49this fall camp yeah piggy has been doing great i mean he um he stepped up piggy yeah yeah everyone refers to this piggy is his username one time nice everyone's piggy anyway um you know pig's been doing great he uh he's been able to step up and kind of bring around along those younger guys um you know everyone's kind of trying to figure out their their new roles and i think he's been doing a lot of things big body guy they can catch the bar can run between the tacos his feet are quicker than once you think for a big guy that really good feet and good balance so that's what makes him good that's what i saw him you would you would you would you comment for a bigger back like in the title of the first utility you know i think i probably good play company running back some on the tight end background uh what tight end background now i don't know many with that type of background but when he's high school we see that they try to play as an h-back well really good for when you look in the portal for running actually we want to try to recruit running backs does it matter

3:12:53to you if you have two different styles of running backs maybe one guy can you sort of things better one guy can use it or is it you'll just say the best running back you can find it you want to have different styles i want different styles i'm gonna try to take the same but we don't take the same thing we want to take guys with different students uh whether they're big guys small guys, tallest catches in between the type of runners i don't know you don't want i don't want to take the same thing you want different different different backs you guys have built a wheelchair with a lot of red zone scoring guys are you ready to go? is it important to find that the match is size like cj has the problem with it? i have my own opinion on the size they've been becoming the red zone i had drawing James out of work and i he's my red zone running show y'all runs a freshman in probably way the two ten or two or five which is not very big but they ain't got the new you know some guys you gotta know so sticking the down in zone and you play with a lot of

3:13:53aggression down here running so that could be cj that could be James or what could be the freshman go Jackson you know there's this new group has a nose for getting in zone but that's that's what i'm going over here you don't have to be six two no just because you're being there i'm making off we knew we could obviously you know freshman running back coming in and blowing his air here but what do you need to see from a freshman to feel comfortable with that place? in the first day you will be on the ball well what they do they know small details that take care of the ball the second thing will be how good they're in the passports because it's the hardest thing for high school backs because they're not the new new group is here in high school we have understand the past but by all their falls on here we so like those days say when they catch me on so but that's why i need to see first for everything guys i will go to see the week and so the ocean delights us some marvel at the colorful

3:17:02playing the first day first you've been an armistice I'm special to know you're a spot special to you then you you're in the right to be a buck out of you so just get out down the field so I think they're turning the right to the first practice like it wasn't merit so the build off for those I couldn't have stuff to work on I've just seen some of the younger guys in your room develop thinking about like etcher cussing is coming in this year seeing him working with your guys Joshua Macon's house he's coming home I feel like they're definitely picking up quick I mean I was in their shoes one time and I had Zach Harrison and Javante and Tyler Friedel in front of me so I thought I was trying to be kind of one of those peers that they were for me and kind of just giving them the steps to get there and I feel like they're definitely picking up quick and they're definitely going to be one of the great rushmen

3:18:15I feel like all the camps I've definitely got my big coursework and I love that so I ask Coach J4 and I love getting more reps because I just like protecting my craft so I mean some people may not need it some other people needed but I mean it's like he has made it what do you think? speak on that course later 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 my craft and just trying to be a it's like a whenever every place what kind of do you want to take on the biggest yeah um definitely just getting stronger faster everything all the above but uh one of my big things is being leader and kind of just not trying to look at the steel look up to Jack and JT kind of have my own kind of leadership and be able to bring people into so I feel like kind of have a lot of leaders on the B line and we had to be in position so we kind of all kind of

3:19:15just counts off the channel and it's a tough channel for you to go through all the upcoming guys playing with them all the time and being on the field and just starting to get out and trying to just be like, so you need to be like, what's your biggest guys? what's that position you need to do? um they're competitive and we love it so you're all competitive people we all love to fish each other and that's what it's bringing the best side of all is we're 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 thing. Hey you probably last year and you got to get the shot at the full back and the day approaching without adhering to a coach's game I mean how did it come about? because you're just checks all your slots in. okay it gets touched back. so I definitely did it in high school I was full back and a little bit tired and so I feel like it kind of saw what I could do there in Coach Wilson honestly he loved watching it too before he loved and I feel like he planned that seed and Coach Day's head and Coach Day kind of just went for it and tried to do the best I could to do it.

3:20:16is that continuing now? do you think it's the screen? new playbook I did not know yet. yeah we've got that far. yeah we have been. how tough was that for you? yeah look it's got 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 I'll try to do my best for you. Kid Jack you're the same thing. oh yeah. well what about what? graph please that's why. okay he was just talking to Coach Johnson on Tuesday about some of the conversations he sort of sought you and got out to have some conversations after JT and Jack decided to come back. just we're going to win into those from your perspective and how did that help you maybe get the right mindset I guess. what did you do this for? um definitely 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 in all that time from here to to then. so I feel like we definitely just coached in me kind of connected. maybe we kind of just talks man-to-man and uh he kind of just straight to me and

3:21:18I feel like we kind of both are present and we know we're making it. making each other better every day and we got the 4 best Dn. 5 best Dn honestly and then coach football and we're going to be one of the best D lines and coach football. I think you feel like a better player today than you were again. you see. um I feel like I'm taking 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 uh feel like we're kind of helping out more. I think you're right around the past. I think the TKFC. I mean it sounds bizarre but I mean the season goes by so fast already so when you're kind of like week 10 and you're like wow it's already week 10 so now it's kind of getting more time to kind of enjoy it and kind of savor it because you're all fun. You know what I mean? I mean there is a mindset that the season is going to be. There is a that pace yourself there. I mean there is a mindset there. Yeah definitely definitely going to have that the mental stability to handle all those weeks

3:22:22all those practices. How much is Larry talking to you guys around like that? Last question right here. 2016 2017 4 NFL 250 minutes all in the same position. How much does he talk to about that? 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 we're right at the same 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 be able to bounce off and just perfect our craft together and I feel like we all are just great individuals and you come together at something special. Great. How did your expectations like this meet up with how you feel you've put down to this point of guess? I feel like I've made the plays that came to me and that's where the Ockman can control. I've had more opportunities as years progressed and been in spots to be here on the ball. But the expectation was to come here and contribute to the team and try to help find a way to

3:23:22push the team to win games at high level and to be better than they were actually and for me to play better than I was last year. So really just coming to try to grow with myself and with the team. So that was my big goal and I feel like I've done a good job and the team has done a good job progressing through the year and getting better. So yeah that's the like same about that. We're here in the right place at May and let them grow. Yeah I feel just standing here right now just to feel like like a different season. What does it feel like for you going into the playoffs? You know you know you don't get to go and you want it necessarily the regular chase but here you are. Right? I mean look what is that sense that you have right now that's different. Like the regular chase. I mean everybody wants to say it's a new season in terms of because if everybody's 0-0 right now it would be when you keep going if you lose you're done. So I mean but genuinely that's how you could play every game. You know they play every game like it's your last game so for me I don't think it's really any difference you have to go play at a high level every game and that can't be based upon

3:24:27isn't a playoffs game. You're the only thing you actually have to go play every game like it's the same thing. So I would say in terms of that no you just have to play the game. Play the game is there. What feels difficult is defense right now going into this so y'all feel even more time needed. Or you know good by tight and we close together what was that? I mean what is your sense of the further hood so to speak of the defense? I feel like we progressed throughout this season we did make a team chapter game six because we lost and we didn't play well that game and I feel like we've grown from that and got into a better place and over these past two weeks off just realizing okay these are the things that we messed up throughout the year. These are what we need to fix. These are what this team is trying to exploit on us. So just really going back to everything and seeing what can do better for this kind of game and for the next couple of years. Let's have a question. How does the Tennessee's Y's split with their receivers impact you as a subject?

3:25:32I feel like it makes the game more a world one game. It makes your receivers or DVDs at the play a second game than the guys up front and it makes it truthfully like those guys have to do their job and these guys have to do your job. You got to be able to stop the run with the people they have in the run fit and you have to be able to stop their paths with the people they have out there. So that's what they do and they do it at a really low level. So it's going to be tough to go in. And final question. Join Kopen and Columbus. Yes, back to the coach knows the time about the speed at which there you guys are at the call end playing. This is built for potential. This is for the kind of fantasy. The play call ends with the player of kind of end is it that gives you just the speed of the steps. Call them. All right. It allows you to get your feet Senator. And I said earlier just a ability to see the formation and see what keys that you have before the play and have knowledge of your job and not really thinking being able to play and not think during the game is a really big thing. So whenever you can get the call out faster and play

3:26:34at a high level and play without thought that's a really good thing for you. Appreciate you. Yeah. Did you ever do a Jackson? Oh, you were sloppy. Oh, yeah. You didn't test that. So I definitely didn't 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 and coach Wilson. Honestly, he loved watching it too. Poor he loved and I feel like he planned that seed and coach day's head and coach day kind of just went for it and tried to do the best I could to do it. Executive chin wing now. Anything new playing about guy to not know yet. Yeah, I've got that far. Yeah, good. How tough is that? Yeah, look at that. 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 then I'll try to do my best for you. Kitchank, you're the same thing. Oh, yeah. Well, what about you? Graphically, that's why. Kitch is talking to coach Johnson on Tuesday about some of the conversations and sort of saw you and got out to our some conversations after JT and Jack decided to come back.

3:27:36Just kind of lean into those, expect to do it and out of that help you maybe get the right mindset against being a new source. Um, definitely 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 to happen in all that time from here to to then. So, I feel like we definitely just coached getting me kind of connected. And we kind of just talks man-to-man and he kind of just sent straight to me and I feel like we kind of both are going to be on the same team. We know we're making it. Yeah, I don't. Making each other better every day. We got the four best DNs, five best DNs, honestly. And then college football and we're going to be one of the best DLines and college football. How do you feel about the better player today anymore again this season? Well, 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. No, I think record head around the past.

3:28:37I think the TKFC is a good sound. I mean, it sounds bizarre but I mean the season goes by so fast already. So when you're kind of like week 10 and you're like wow it's already week 10. So now it's kind of gives you more time to kind of enjoy it and kind of savor it because you've got your own freedom of feeling and freshness. That's crazy. But you don't want to spend all your powder for the first a couple of months a year right? Oh yeah. There is a, not pace yourself that. I mean, there is a mindset. Yeah, definitely. Definitely going to have to have the mental stability to handle all those weeks, all those practices. How much has Larry talked to you guys about? Last question right here. In 2016, 2017, 4 NFL 2 Fetchers, Orange, Orange, and Orange. How much has he talked about that? I mean, he hasn't had to talk about it. We know about it. We've seen it every day. We watched the film. We see them all working together. We know what it could be. We know what it could become. So we know we were right at the same 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 be able to bounce off and just perfect our craft together.

3:29:38And I feel like we all are just great individuals and we come together with something special. Great. You get like good coaches who believe in you. And like, they give you the tools to go out there and just play with confidence. You know, not their doubting those stuff. Like, you got your teammates who got your back. Like, my first play when I got up there at Tennessee. Like, when DeZel, IGB and Jermaine. Like, first thing they say is like, no, where you just go out there and play with confidence. You know, you know the tools. There's usual tools. It's just go out there and make a play. And where about a play coming to you? Now, where is your time and show of job? You just do it. And then like, say what Coach Warren is like, he gives me, he puts me in a position like, like the drills we put in, the work we put in, the one-on-one, so I just go out there and just perform with the highest level. How much better are you right now than maybe last month at Fortesburg Riders? I mean, I got to lay better just because I've transitioned a little bit to the inside. Nicholas Fawcow, I'm like, now I'm actually trying to like catch, catch, take me again. It's often covers not, it's not always press at the line. So it's like, not maybe to like move my feet, move my hands. See, like what I got to do just like, just in case I got to go back in corner,

3:30:39I can, I'll plan off now. I'm very confident out there. Do you think that there was an actual fifth of you or have you had the kind of convince yourself to transition to that? I mean, I feel like it's natural for me because I feel like me, individually, I'm a fast learner. A fast learner, like coaches help us like learn fast. Like, because they're always honest about the techniques and stuff. So you like, you play down, like you pick up all the things and then like when we get out here, they coach us to like the techniques always. You just go out there and play like fast spot. And then you know, I would like, you're versatile, you're able to go out there and just compete. Is that where you kind of stuff, just spring or do you have any kind of mountain? So I'm really been stuck there. This springed a little bit right. Whenever you get this like other things, I just bounce out there every once in a while. Just like, I just have fun. See if I still got it every once in a while. So it's as good as going to compete at most spots. You mentioned the technique. What technique tips and things. If you had to pick up and learn from those walking from the techniques. I mean, this is always like, you know, because what coaches ask you hands,

3:31:39like see it, you see it, move your feet, and then get your hands on the man. So it's like, when you get like, when you out there, you're able to like process like the way the receiver comes off the ball, looking at the hips and seeing like the way he moves. So you're able to pick up like the row concerts. You can get out of that. Like, so it's been like, under coach walls for me, like as a player and just like him breaking out football to you. Like one on one, it's like very beneficial. What was the hardest part of making that transition from outside that sense? I really say like, the corner you got to cover to, you cover three, you cover one, it's easy. But then you got nickel. There are so many responsibilities. You got to see like the row concepts. You got to be able to process like, die in those rows faster than what you got to do on a corner. And just be able to like, everything's quid like your transition. You got like, you got to move fast. You got to learn to move fast. It's like game recognition. Where do you think maybe you've grown the most since you got it? And how did you got to run? Well, I would definitely say, I would definitely say, it hasn't because how you get to like college, it's a little bit different.

3:32:40High school, we don't got to worry about things like that. When I want you to get to like college in a school like this, like your recognition of plays, and like your loyal jobs, the way like the coverage is supposed to be played. I understand all your teammates are supposed to get them to feel. It's like it's easy. What have your pronouns been? Um, that's so far. He's very talented. He's a great dude. He's a humble guy. A great teammate. He's very supportive. That's like a guy that you don't want to run because you can feed off your energy. Because you can see like, when you make a play, he's like, he like, IGB. It's like, IGB 2.0. So he's like, when you get off there with guys, like that would get energy. It makes you play a little bit harder. And it's like, and then like, when you make a play, he's out there, and I'm just helping you. Like, it's being out there with him. He's a good player. One of those guys, thoughts question. Can't fool kids. I would say obviously, last few years, or so, probably so you're first now. What is it about one build that gets you to play at a high school? It's a big question, I know. Just a question. Yeah. Let me just start some preparation school because we have so many kids

3:33:41come out of Google and just play games. We like, we, schools, and then like, like, tracks a big part of it. Because I mean, to actually, in a Google, everybody that I run, track like this, many, you're really getting a choice. You're able to just like get out here and like, know how to compete, and then like, G, like, being built that mental touchness into you. So like, have you like, if you're now, you got to be mentally tucked because I mean, life's not going to be easy. So it's like being out here, being able to compete. And when you down, just pick yourself back up. I mean, that's what being is done for me. That's what being does. I don't mean that's what. DT, how would you describe the mentality of the defense right now, being this opportunity for a rebound for Jordan? Yeah. Hungry. Thank you. I mean, we know how the last last time when, you know, 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 and had to make a couple changes. But I think we understand what, you know, everything's at stake right now. You know, just fighting to where another high stage is for the next game. That's what's on stake. And just to be able to represent this, this state and this,

3:34:42this team. I mean, we understand what's as, what's on the line. And, you know, we're just hungry and blessed that we get this opportunity playing the Rose Bowl. Right behind your out of King, WVNS. What do you remember most about walking off the field in Eugene? What was kind of all your lies in that moment? I mean, there is a, I don't think anybody imagined it. Imagine us losing. You know, I didn't. That's for sure. And I think after that, it was a kind of head deep. I understand it. That 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, there goes, there goes your whole season. But 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, as that happened, we came back, we grouped, and, you know, we're just, going right now. And, and I'm just blessed for those

3:35:44specific moments, you know, losing. I mean, no one wants to lose, but the testimonies and the things are taught within those little situations, speaks of all of them. After all of our clarinet and drum. Yeah. Jay, what did you see from Kenyatta the last couple of weeks then? Was there like a push from him and, you know, to the main conversation with him, he could see like he's playing since the best performance I've seen? Yeah, I mean, that's, that's my boy. He's in the R2X Club, too. But, you know, Kenyatta, I mean, every time there's his numbers called, he goes out there and makes the most of it, no matter where, where we are in the game, when he goes out there, he's just hungry. He wants to go make plays and, and you know, we see it in practice, so it's not surprising to us. Bill Rebino, it's a bonus this back. Bill Engaver was 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 out being disciplined.

3:36:45No one who you're playing against, like you said, then he's a, he sure, but he's very elusive. I mean, he can, he is making throws. I mean, he get out the parking to everything. So I think for us, we just have to discipline him and just continue to just meet with Coach Jay, meet with the coach knows and understand how we can just eliminate that. Question about you and Jack. I mean, your personality seems to be a little different. You're more on the quiet side. He's inside. How about it? You've played together four years, both five store guys, kind of describe your relationship with him, friendship with him. Yeah. 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 on, 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. So over there. So yeah.

3:37:45The 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'd probably say I would better kick the jack though. Tony Gertman, Buck I Hell. When you're playing a team for the second time, and that was almost a season to go by now, how much of, are you at square one with the scouting and preparation, or how much do you take from that game, and how much do you avoid taking so that you don't have any preparation to say no, since you're going up against offense on the offense. 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, so did we. So we understand that they had, they made some changes for sure. You know, there's, there's a certain density that 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 change from the, for the past game.

3:38:48We got a couple calls on Zoom that will wrap up with, first we have Nick Hamilton from Nightcast Media. Nick? The ocean moves us, whether that's surfing a wave or taking in an inspiring view.

And yes, two thirds of people on CalShi 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 CalShi lose money. lose money. lose money.

3:39:49That's CalShi in their own CEOs words. Go to www.fairpredicts.com to learn more. Hi, this is Dave Roberts. Heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, that's a risk. Summer colds can linger and getting sick on vacation can derail everything. That's why everyone needs a medical emergency kit. It includes doctor prescribed medications to treat common and serious illnesses. So if you wake up sick, at home or on the road, you already have what you need. It's like having an urgent care and pharmacy at home. Say $45 with code blue at urgentcare kit.com. Slash blue. Urgentcare kit.com. Slash blue. This one 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. Here, you have the question one more time. Yeah, no problem.

3:40:50I want to ask you about the synergy you are able to develop over the course of the season. I've seen celebrating the triumphs but also getting through the adversities to where you are, are the top-notch defense that you are today. Yeah, 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 defensive 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, that it comes out to the common goal or the common target, which is, 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 one final question. Joey Kaufman, Columbus Dispatch. Joey? JT, what have you guys done better in the, especially in the Tennessee game

3:41:51and just late in the season, you think about turning some of the pressures that you've got on the quarterbacks and the sacks and getting home in some of those situations? Yeah, I think it was more just understanding the defense as a whole, understanding everybody's job. I think as the season went on, we had to understand that, you know, we have to know what's going on in the backhand. We have to know what's going on with the linebacker crew to understand what plays we have room for 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's doing. It's not like the lineback's know what they're doing. 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, they play quarterbacks by Icona's Cody on how to open field tackle it. So, you know, we just kind of lean on each other's understanding, because, you know, like I said, like, Denzel knows how to play corner-bedded and I know how to play corner. So, you know, he has more wisdom

3:42:52at that position than I do. JT, thank you very much. Thank you. I'm just ready to move into like that in the ball time. Uh, definitely a little bit of both. Obviously, I just want to team the win. I think we got a chance to win. No, definitely towards it. And to stretch that last drive. I was a couple plays here, a couple calls that he maybe should have gotten. But, I think the frustration more so it just comes from, you know, wanting to win more or anything. Of course, you said he was a little surprised how much attention you got right away from your defense. How about you? Yeah, definitely. We maybe killed him or one of ones kind of how the game plan was set up. Um, um, didn't got like different coverage on the cloud to my side. And this is kind of how the game goes. What's the process been, like sometimes, where, for whatever reason, just, just, just see that. Yeah, definitely. Um, especially in college, a lot of the game fans defensively were taking the away. Um, you know, they had a lot of success. Uh, I was, they obviously were in one of the ball had in different, um, the weapons and kind of

3:43:53still get the victories. And um, I was, yeah, you continue to do a better job doing it here. Why are the communication the process been like post game, getting on the same page with Kyler, just, you guys exchanged text or you guys didn't know? Yeah, film them definitely, um, kind of asking what did I see there or kind of go over and play. And, um, that's how I give him what I saw and kind of different feedback there. Exchange words. Mark, I get it. We're asking questions about the previous game bar. Are you the type of guy to let a game like that winger or how do you flush it? You got to move on. Got to move on. It's a long season guy. About 16 more of them. Hopefully, no, I can stay healthy throughout the year and, um, 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 ring of the season? Yeah, it's totally different. It's totally different. Um, you can do a lot of things, you know, inserts and shorts and then you go out there, put practice and get pads on. You do like the point practice we do with the colds, but there's nothing like actually going out there, um, not in live action.

3:44:53And really trying to be on the same page. So I think that would really be a good thing to do. It would be a good thing to do. Yeah, it would be a good thing to do. But it would be a good thing to do. Yeah, it would definitely definitely. Um, like I said, it was kind of my first live action together. Um, so I can continue to be. When you're early in the impression, so I turn around and feel together and it's going to increase in the with with cows. Uh, yeah, but now, obviously, I have a death certificate that JG's call or preseason. I obviously be off to a really healthy. That's kind of the most important thing that I was able to get well healthy and going for it. So, um, um, that's it. I can say, um, I've already been really impressed with 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 lot of new guys up front. I think that's kind of where the strong suit is. Um, kind of a little different to Buffalo, come over a little match coverage. So I'm excited to build this. Personally, when the bells take you one of them, I was told you today. Wasn't many of them. Oh, wasn't many of them. So, uh, Beth, I think it. I'm sure you think game versus just

3:45:55playing. You're not getting a preseason game. Actually, it's definitely, definitely thinking a lot out there. And, um, you know, I think I'll come with reps. I think the thinking less, you just going out there and playing. It's definitely come with reps. And it's something you know, I'll get better at. But, um, they definitely say I was thinking a lot of that. Is there anything you can do to improve that? That's where I covered. And I think you did the past. Because you're, you're going to finish that a lot. I'm just, yeah, I mean, you just got to team. Get open for, you know, yourself, making yourself available. And when the ball does, going to make it into play, this, he can just take a new way. That means other guys are, you know, having chance to get open. So, that's how kind of high it is. No longer since it's, you know, offense. That's the best thing for us. They're coming to me with Tyler. Is there something that comes pretty quickly in a new game? Or something like that? What do you want to do? Hopefully sooner or later, I think. And we'll continue to see. We'll see. I don't think we're in a bad place right now. At all, obviously, I don't really think that. But, uh, just a live reps, we'll continue to grow and show. I think we think, and how I believe maybe different than somebody else may believe.

3:46:55You know, like, that, that practice at least, like, the lead positivity, you know what I mean? So, but, he, the energy, we're beyond just, though, hyper the D lines, like, so that's kind of how I want to be. The goal, I'm, um, literally my whole life, I want to get, I felt, team captain, like, specifically, and I felt I wasn't a captain in high school. Wasn't a captain in college. But, um, I want to make a joke, I want to make a joke, I feel like I'm not going to be a captain till I get that, I felt. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but that would be awesome, you know, but, you know, that happens, I'd be great, but not either way, I want to assume the world as a captain from to perspective the guys, until the visual world, and to get back to that point. Yeah, I mean, I can't say that, um, I mean, I guess the biggest thing is that, I felt like it has felt, like how you used to move past, but it didn't take just the first day,

3:47:55LTAs, it took training and left and right, once this season ended, because I don't know what it was going to be. So, it took a lot of, yeah, gramps, just to get back to feeling, like myself, for day one LTAs, and then that whole first week, but now, like, today, specifically, just changing some small things with my feet, that it's in, talking about the long coach, and some things that I'm doing, my feet to get to, but to sell my nutritional angle, that I love to sit on, and do, felt even, I thought I felt, I thought I felt great already, but I'm okay, I felt even better, so I need more exercises tomorrow. Now, I'm getting my feedback and how I like the, the right side, and I'm on the left side, so alongside each other. I mean, obviously, I feel like, um, in the league, whether I left the right, if you're still going against, premier guys, so obviously, the high expectations for your left hand are high-talking, but, um, there's definitely, uh, like, the, the level of energy, and like, the expectations, definitely taking the human side,

3:48:56because now, connect the blind side, that's the, as the tackle world, you know, so, um, so yeah, I would say, in terms of communications, for us, this even, outside of the facility, and stuff like that, like really creating that, but tackle quarterback, body, even more often, the old, I think, has been something that's even the cool, I got a text one day, because I, I keep, well, I was like, you know, yeah, I've been training both, I've been training both, you know, I, I asked after the season there, like, honestly, you know, we'll talk to you, simply in the season, and I just got a text, and I'm like, having what happens with the free agency, then, so I was like, you know, what, I had an old season right tackle, so, if I get the word, I'm going, I'm staying right tackle, and I just do what I did before, and build on that, but I was like, I might as well as train the left tackle now, as if I'm going to be left tackle, and I'd rather do that, than train all the right time, where the company is left tackle, and I'm like, who, how does it probably not switch my feet yet?

3:49:58You know what I mean? So, I'm like, let me just prepare an advance, and I was like, yeah, it's gone, you know? I think occasionally, I'm third down, there'd be a lot of twists, that I was just not like, it's on my mind, it goes on. And I think that was my mindset for like the first half of the season, like, I didn't have to go into the game with some products, like, oh my gosh, I did that. I kind of figured, like, okay, like, this is the type of rush, I'm going to get, this is how this guy usually rushes. If I get the vibe, this is how it begins, like the rush, you know, tackles that, first year guys, you got the premier patch on, already, you know, what it was going to be, already, you know, or the every stunt. And honestly, just knowing that's kind of an advantage to, so you're not, you're not, you're not, oh, the product twist on my side, it was never air-dome, but it comes out the hot, like, three plays in the world, two minutes, I do that, it's not going to happen. So a lot of, you know what I mean? So I'm watching more everybody else, and you really, you know, it goes out there, occasionally, I'm third down, I was like, you know, I was like, he's going to pick me, you know what I mean? So,

3:50:59fact, fact, it's kind of, it's also kind of an advantage in a way, but it's also exciting, like, okay, I'm going to get the hardest look, you know, so it's a real, real rest, you know, the day, so, really out, on our way to kind of process, that I was like, hey, when I tell him, let me know about him, I'm just going to train it, I was training all left, so TAs, I guess, if I didn't hear anything about TAs, I would have came in like, so, you know what I mean? Because just like, I'm cool with training both, continuing, I would have been cool with training both, continuing, but I feel like anybody, any position will be like, okay, like, you want as soon as possible, to get your feet kind of settled in, your hips settled in, your hands, so then, no, a certain kind of that. We would have been harder if they had to work both their head to you. No, no, you know, but, they're definitely, but sometimes with the development, it's definitely a lot faster to stay on one side,

3:52:01but I think having that, the weeks that we had to transition with seasons over, I'd like to respond, you know, good, I'm trying to get up, put up my car, and we think that it's time right now, but when it comes back, I'm going to show him that he went home, so I've got a house not too far from, so I told him, I got that house, so I could, I could yell outside, like, DJ, you know, you know what I mean? So, yeah. That's doesn't, have any stock or anything, doesn't mean anything, so, we're, we have to play on Friday, and that's really all that matters. We're going to take two more from Zoom, for turning it back, our first one's going to come from Steven from Cleveland.com. Go ahead. That's the fun, I'm sorry. Hey Caleb, 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,

3:53:02and you know, after doing that, does it surprise you at all to see him having the success he's had as a freshman? No, it doesn't bring surprises. It was pretty, pretty easy to see the talent that he has, and the blessings that God has put on his plate. But it's always a, it's always a challenge going against Jeremiah and the 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. I'll find a question from Zoom, it's going to come from Dan Hope. Go ahead Dan. Hey, 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, puts the ball in the right places, and then, of course, our kitchen does a great job putting him in positions to win.

CalShi, GT and Jack Man opposite sides are they as opposite off the field as they are on in terms of personality and just the people they are? They're offices but they are also like one of the closest people I know they spend a lot of time together. They've come from different sides of the country so they're different people for sure but they're both really great people and really great men. I'm sorry I respect both of them. How did you do that?

3:56:08I'm not going to do that. I'm sorry I'm not going to do that. It's going to be awesome. More on podcast. Throughout the throughout the season we would always see you on Wednesday nights you and Nathan would be some of the last people off the field. For the things that you're working on after a practice always the same. Is it a routine? What are the things that you're hoping to get out of those extra moments after practice? It's a routine pretty much the the keys that we need to go into the game with and then also changes week to week on based on what our jobs are going to put us into doing. So every week we go through the same things and then we add certain things that we do for the what the team that we play is going to ask us to accommodate. Bill, we've been on Columbus Dispatch. Yeah, I already got one here. Okay, Joey Goffin, Columbus Dispatch. Killin. Texas uses play action and Nathan uses play action in a fair bit. What's what do they do well in those spots and what's the key for you guys in those moments with Quinn? They do a really good job with I Candy and it creates a lot of challenges for defense in order to see if it's runner pass and see

3:57:16because that's when they're going to take their shots too as well. So really just having great eye discipline seeing the line and seeing what it's telling us. So that's just what it does. Deep right, Nick Walker, Letterman Rolke. Hey, you guys had a pretty good game plan for Tyler Warren. When you guys played him, you guys have another Texas has a good tight end and Gunnar Mountain. What do you guys kind of have to do to limit him and what do you think about his game? He's 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've done all year. Just be disciplined in our responsibilities and if you're on him, you got to make the play when it comes. Right, one of the mandra billets. Playman.com. When you look at their receivers, it's kind of a whole, you know, they spread ball around and see what stands out about the way that they can spread ball around. What does that mean? A lot of really good athletes. I played with Isaiah Bond last year who's a really great receiver, a lot of speed. And then all their receivers have made a lot of plays.

3:58:18So I mean, everybody has to go on their peasy and cues if we're going to stop them and have a do a really good job. From here on, Tim May, Letterman Rolke. Yeah, Kale, but you moved up here. I don't have to tell you when you moved, basically a year ago. And stuff. It was a little bit of a leap of faith because you know, you know how many athletes are on this team. You have athletes to stuff. But why didn't you really feel this defense come into its own? And then then pass that, man, watching in Rose Bowl, you're recognition of what was coming seem 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. But 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. But what's your second part of your question? You seem really on point against Oregon about recognizing what was coming.

3:59:19I mean, 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 and just feeling comfortable and what we're doing, comfortable and 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. Did I miss anyone's questions here? Steve, how long have you been playing in the sports? Yeah, Caleb, but you came to Ohio State to play for National Championship. And there were a lot of ups and downs throughout the season. Just to be in this position, the last four teams still live. Just you feel validated by that. Did you always have 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. Not like that wasn't the only goal for me coming here. 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

4:00:21everything that comes with that. But it's a blessing to be here. And one final question, Bill, where Ben wants to play this back? 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 left 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 winter 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 numbers call. I feel like they're definitely picking up quick. I mean, I was in their shoes one time and I had Zach Harrison, Javonte, 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 give them the steps to get there. And I feel like they're definitely picking up quick and they're definitely going to be one of great freshmen.

4:01:23So we coach Josh, you're talking about it. JT and Zach probably don't need it. It's on a big screen. So you have some real opportunities for you. Do you have a, do there a difference in the workload that you've been getting through half of camp with the last couple? I feel like all the camps I've definitely gotten a big course learned and I love that. So I asked Coach Jay for it. 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, all this ideas may represent your... What do you think is good on that course learning? So what's your opinion? I mean, for me it's always just kind of getting my little details perfectly, like my steps, my footing. It's kind of just perfecting my toolbox is what we call it and my craft and just trying to be a like a win-win every place we try to do. We're in the team right now. We're in the team right now. We're in the team right now. We're in the team right now. Yeah, 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 look

4:02:24still look up to Jack and JT and kind of have my own kind of leadership and be able to bring people into it. So I feel like kind of have a lot of leaders on the B-line and we have to be in position. So we kind of all kind of just kind of talk to each other. It's been a tough time. We've been working on this guys, playing with them all. We've been on the team and just gotten to the team right now. And trying to put this through like a leader's business. How does that transition actually happen? It's been competitive and we love it. We all competitive people, we all love to fish each other. And I feel like the springing the best side of all is. We're all just kind of bouncing off each other and seeing what one person does. And we kind of build it into our actual box and we all kind of just kind of build one great thing. Do you remember last year when you got the shot of the full back in the boat? And did they approach you with that idea and you could coach them? I don't get to come up out here because you're a jack sawyer or a flop-in. I guess it touched that back. So I definitely did it in high school. I was pulled back and a little bit of tidying. So I feel like it kind of saw what I could do there in Coach Wilson.

4:03:27Honestly, he loved watching it too. He played in that seat in Coach Day's head and Coach Day kind of just went for it. And I 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 hadn't got that far. How toposet you do? You're a little bit backwards. 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 I'll try to do my best for you. Oh yeah. Graphically, that's what... I was talking to Coach Johnson on Tuesday about some of the conversations and sort of saw you and got out to have some conversations. After JT and Jack decided to come back. Just got to lean into those from your perspective and how do that help you move you good. The right mindset I guess, when I'm in this club. I'm definitely kind of seeing it all the way through. I feel like the people kind of just see what happened and they don't know everything that goes into it. I feel like we're going to be in a long season now. What you got to do to prepare for and what happened and all that time from here to there.

4:04:29So I feel like we definitely just coached in me kind of connected. And we kind of just talks man-to-man and he kind of just sent it straight to me. And I feel like we kind of both have been on the same team. We know we're making it yada. We're making each other better every day. We got the four best DNs, five best DNs, honestly. And then college football and we're going to be one of the best DLines in college football. What do you feel like a better player today than you were in this season? I feel like I'm taking 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 we're kind of helping out more. How do you record your head around the past season? It's excellent. I mean, it sounds bizarre but I mean the season goes by so fast already. And you're kind of like week 10 and you're like wow it's already week 10. So now it's kind of giving you more time to kind of enjoy it and kind of savor it. Because you've got a lot of fun. I feel like I'm fresh and fresh and it's crazy.

4:05:29But you know what's been on your powder for the first month of a year right now? Is that not paste yourself that? I mean there's a mindset that I did that season. Yeah definitely. Definitely going to have the mental stability to handle all those weeks and all those practices. How much has Larry talked to you guys around the game? Last question right here. You've seen the 2016-2017 4 NFL 2 Fetchers going so much. How much has he talked 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 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 be able to bounce off and just perfect our craft together. And just great individuals and we come together and something special. Great. Doing it. What were 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.

4:06:31But in spring we're here competing for jobs. I mean if I'm a quarterback I'm asking 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? They're always trying to find an edge. And if you're never fully alive, I don't think you fully give a guy's opportunity to be who they want to be or who they can be. So that being said, I will cast my vote but that will not be my final decision on that. But I will cast my vote. The guys have handled it well. It was good for all parties involved and more we can do that better. But I'm sure that is coming to a close here very quickly. Matt Murphy, 24-7. Right. Jeremiah Offfield, we saw after practice on this Saturday that the mob that came to get autographs and things. When 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 past?

4:07:31I mean, it's a blessing to be in a position where you know can provide insight or I wouldn't say recommendations but just give perspective. How he chooses to receive the first perspective or not one and not me. 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's done a great job. Again, the way he was raised and 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 definitely growing at an exponential rate to say the least. But I think he's built for it and he's been handled at a high level. But those around him were trying to help him out a little bit.

4:08:33What made Quincy the first freshman to do this black trade issue? Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. I think that, 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 would 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 and make plays not make mistakes. And he was starting to make a lot of a lot of plays consistently. I think the consistent level that he's been as a person, being on, being on time and doing his job description on each play and the balls coming your way and making some big plays. And, you know, it starts, it starts being seen by your peers and your peers are asking for it. They start barking, getting a stripe off all those kind of things. That's the ultimate sign of respect. I think with your peers, you know, go to your bat.

4:09:35And he's not going for his bat. No one knows. People are bringing it to your position coach. I think it speaks volumes of the general respect that you're earning through the process. So I think it's something like that happened. And, you know, as well as there 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 Sareville. 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. Just how much have you seen Austin benefit from this spring and everywhere that he's been and helping with peace. 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 they say? He played every spot, every position. We just move around, you know, and handles it. And, you know, he's one of those guys. I feel like you watch film over and over again day after day. His name never really gets brought up, you know, in a good way. Like he on the online. Your name gets brought up when. Usually not going as well, you know, I mean, they're literally at the point of attack on every single play.

4:10:37So there's nowhere to hide. And so. 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 they really impressed with him. He started in the winter. Did a great job through the winter. Again, continuing to build their respect for his peers. And then he's going to good job. Really good job. Just being very consistent to spring. Are left, Jeff Gilbert, press pros? 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 of that position and what those guys have to do and go through? What do you think more about those guys versus maybe what he's up before? It's just a wide receiver guy. Yeah, I mean, I mean, there's no just a wide receiver guy. If you are just a wide receiver guy, you won't be a very late or long. It's all about, 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 a great receiver or receiver guy, whatever you want to call it,

4:11:37there's only one page, just the quarterbacks page. So everything is based off them there. Whether be their progression, their timing, the stresses they have is what we're trying to minimize. So if you don't fully understand the quarterback play, it's hard to maximize receiver play. I think, you know, that being said, yeah, 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, 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. You're not willing to spend, you know, your own time getting prepared for practice to be 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, online 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.

4:12:41But the requirement of a quarterback to know the fixed protections, the BR run game coordinator based on the calls, you know, to get us in different checks. I mean, there's so much to know. And frankly, the, you know, the online is good as the quarterback, the receiver's line is good as the quarterback, the offense is the least 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 to notice that they can just spend extra time outside the a lot of time, I think is critical. And the amount that it takes, I guess that's maybe a little naive to, but I think you guys are doing a great job doing it. Just a couple more coaches got a meeting, Rob Aller, Columbus Dispatch. Brian, you know, get reached the mount top. You got a banner out there national champs. I think you keep these guys grounded. Being in the moment, looking ahead, not back. Do you have a tougher on them? Because, no, I think that, I mean, I think we have a lot of guys, you know what?

4:13:42I think it's understanding that we were trying to build the map to get to where you wanted to get to. But 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, sitting on the blue, we'll example how to get to where you want to get to. So the focus is on trying to replicate what they just did and how they operated. I 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 motivation, I don't think is needed. I think there is a catching up of those and maybe aren't quite sure what it takes, you know. But overall, motivation is not what we've needed. A clarity of message is definitely what we've been focused on. And I think the message is being received. So not concerned about, you know, motivation and the looking back, if you will.

4:14:42I think everyone's pretty pretty focused on being forward and knowing we haven't accomplished anything. Steve, it means clean and dark brown. Who would you say is the leader of your wide receiver right now? I would say Cornell Tate, Brennan-Annis, probably done the most outspoken, you know, in the room. Yeah, I would say they're doing a good job. Those are probably the two guys that would jump out my room. Yep. Brennan, he's been in trouble. Obviously, Cornell taking on that role, more and being more vocal. He's a good football player. And obviously, he's the only other, but that process for heaven, becoming a more vocal leader took for you to say that along. What was the question? What do you think, like the growth of a part of it? Yeah, I mean, he's, I think he's pulled guys aside, you know, had one-on-one conversations with him. He's locked in, you know, just, I think he saw the impact that I met, made 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.

4:15:44So someone's got to step up in that role. And one, everyone 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 table now, the older head. And appreciate the way I met, probably went about his business. And so he probably valued that, appreciated that. And he's just being assured we still have that. Final question. Bill Reben, what's going on this day's back? Could you assess the running back room? I think it's pretty much assumed both the running backs, CJ and James think that tandem system is probably the way you're gonna go again. 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, in a football, any football really, you gotta have depth in running back room. I think that this very apparent in the NFL, it's usually a two-back system, you know, very rarely is it one guy. But in college, I think we saw the benefit of that last year. The ability to compliment each other is really important.

4:16:44And the ability for us to identify what they do great and put them in good positions to be what they are. And what their best at, I should say, is really important as a coaching staff. It's been very impressed with even the younger guys, Sam and Bo, and the way they've come along, consistency, so 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 overall, I think locksmen on them, they understand the standard and in pass pro and not being a guy we gotta sell them out because you can't pass protect. So we were blessed, especially with Trey last year and Quinshaw. But no, these guys have done a good job. They're competing. They've been very coachable. It's shown a plot on film. But yeah, I mean, it's always hard on backs. I mean, every opportunity you get to go live and break tackles really gives you the most feedback on what these guys are capable of. If you're just playing tag out there, you never get any art. At least you shouldn't.

4:17:44But the running backs 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. So, you know, I think ultimately how group the, how will, how good will the group be? It's probably based on, you know, the top, the bottom rising, right? I mean, you're gonna have some guys at the top, but, you know, where's the floor? And so I think, uh, Bo and Sam has done a really good job. And many, some more guys to get healthy, and more guys on campus, but very encouraged. The ocean moves us, surfing a wave or savoring the view.

Summer colds can linger and getting sick on vacation can derail everything. That's why everyone needs a medical emergency kit. It includes doctor prescribed medications to treat common and serious illnesses. So if you wake up sick, at home or on the road, you already have what you need. It's like having an urgent care and pharmacy at home. Say $45 with code blue at urgentcarekit.com slash blue. urgentcarekit.com slash blue. And you saw him improve. And then McLean, I think, is a great plus. I mean, he is a guy that has football intelligence. He's picked it up. You know, he's kind of one of those incoming freshmen who still should be in high school.

4:19:52He'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, 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 haven't needed it. But he's a guy you would point to along with CJ Hex, you know, for the long season. 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.

4:20:52He 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... It's not okay if they give up to the play and to go nearly almost the first half. Today where you... The offense didn't get them 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 and the way you guys almost shut them out of the first half? Yeah, I think it's become, you know, an expectation now. You know, our DBS, you know, our BIA, best in America. We led the country in past defense. I think it was 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.

4:21:52They view it as a standard. So that was good to see in the 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 at 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 my job. What do we have and what do we do best? When you have defensive tackles, and 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. It 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. You got to go with that.

4:22:52You 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 Huddl. Jim Ryan talked about the quarterback run being more of a thing with the offense cheer 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 to take that away into account for it. So 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. 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 shoulder to a certain

4:23:52point. David, as Nick, but no, it took today personally. It looked like you know, to me, because 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, 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 out converges and they know what they're doing and they take great pride in it. So having those guys out there in the development, it's a big deal. It really is.

Heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, that's a risk. Summer colds can linger and getting sick on vacation can derail everything. That's why everyone needs a medical emergency kit. It includes doctor prescribed medications to treat common and serious illnesses. So if you wake up sick, at home or on the road, you already have what you need. It's like having an urgent care and pharmacy at home. Say $45 with code blue at urgentcarekit.com slash blue.

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, same 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. You know, he's much better when he's bloodsing or he's directed because he's able to use his athletic ability.

4:27:00But 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 Rebinovitz Columbus dispatch. Chip, what are your just general impressions of the offense coming out of spring, especially quarterback? We'll look at all 15. So I think, you know, this day is a big part of it, you know, because it was the first time they were going to play. Some of those guys that were going to play in front of a crowd. And it was an amazing crowd. You know, you need to get 80,000 for a spring game. Now, 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.

4:28:01We'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 be. So I do. I think we got a lot of guys there. That part's 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 bulk of the reps to get him better. But they capitalize on it. We really rolled him. You know, if you were at some of our screen 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 make 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?

4:29:03Really 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. So for 15 practices, those guys on the other side of the ball were paying, 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 good at, what we're not, what we got to get better at, what we got to work on. But I think the work we got against such a quality defense was really key for us. Over to the far left, Nathan Baird, Cleveland.com. So you were going 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. 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.

4:30:05I really don't have anything to compare it to. So I kind of tab you the 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 be able to make adjustments in game. Just tuck in 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. They can bank on their experience. I think 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. And 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 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 probably play 10 guys.

4:31:06You're going to get a 16-17 game season. Over 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. Do you have the... The ocean moves us.

We're going to stay there. We're going to do it. We ran some last year. I think we took 21 snaps at UCLA and T. We've been a short-yarded formation for us.

4:33:10And we've done some different things with it. But I also think our players had a lot of fun. You know, practicing that and doing some different things. So it's a small part of our offense. We will not be in the T. 21 times in one game. But we may get it in some short-yarded situations. And 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, you know, you got a half-a-yard to get. You're trying to get your big guys in the game. And I think we use three tight ends and two running backs in our formation today with Pecker being the full back in that. So there'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? Now, 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. But I think the most impressive thing since I've been here is how close,

4:34:11as football team is. You know, 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. And those guys really work very, very well together, both the whole line in the D line, the secondary and the receivers. The competition is the best, it's got to be the best there is in the country. And that makes you better. But I think sometimes competition, you know, guys can lash out and it gets really combative. And 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. And I think you're going to need the closest team and the most connected teams with the ones that win. Over to the right here. Andy Baxter, Letterman, or all? Chip, obviously, there's been a lot of talk about Jeremiah, but Ameca 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 Ameca has reminded me and the other 14 practice sessions of what he can do. Special player, you know, and J.J.'s are really talented player also.

4:35:13But, you know, I think all of the whole group, a Cornell tape, did some really good things watching him this spring. And for all of them, you know, I mentioned it with the offensive line. I came in with the blank slate and I had no opinions formed. Not that really just wide-eyed and just observant, but, you know, that, I think that wide-receiving one 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 it's, you feel a little bit comfortable right now. That we got some guys there that can make some plays on the perimeter. And that really dictates how people are going to defend you. You know, so you got a couple 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 quarterback's responsibility to decipher that and get the ball to 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. So, having too many weapons is a good problem to have.

4:36:13Second roll-f, Pat Murphy, 24-7 sports. Chip, we've talked a lot about kind of 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 kind of get into this? I always am so impressed with young guys that enroll early in watching how they get acclimated and what they do. You know, when you look at Julian and Air and JJ, you know, 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, you know. Basically, 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, 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. You know, they get it all and the more they can digest, the more when you're in a room,

4:37:15when 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, the guys today that were kind of looking around and saying, while there's like 80,000 people here, along with the offensive coordinator in 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 spring game. That's impressive. At 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 that you guys head out of spring? Julian is a very fast processor. The ocean delights us as playful otters restore coastal kelp forest.

Like he makes really quick decisions. He doesn't stick on and read. He can progress in any C-sings 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 in press of his, his ability to retain. And, you know, 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've picked things up. And, you know, sometimes freshmen, act like freshmen. But the guys who are special, they don't act like freshmen.

4:40:16You know, they act like football players. And those are two guys that are, are examples of that. Far left. Cameron T. Robinson, the athletic chip. You, on the topic of freshmen, James Peebles and Sam got up and run the second half. Yeah. 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 is, what has their growth been like in this spring? Yeah, James really flashed early for, for me, not knowing again, kind of, let's just take, don't worry about what the background is, whether from who they are, the this guy of this stars, this guy of that stars, it's, they're all bakai. And that's how they do it. I think James has got really good feel and vision. He can hit things. I thought Sam did some really good things today. TC is another guy who really came along during the spring. And, 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 parent of spare. It was what everybody says, but I think you may have to have more than that.

4:41:18You know, you're talking about 16, 17 games. You're, you're really going to be tested that way. So I was really happy with, 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, you know, your name. Okay. That's pretty cool. He must have some juice if you got, you got your name and your podcast. Definitely. Okay. By the way, I like it. It's not just the lunch last, the hot lunch last, while it's 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. Yeah. Where does that go? I mean, in your mind. Yeah. We're all sit down as a staff and visit me. You know, and then I, I mean, he does an unbelievable job of, I think, all our players understand where they fit and what, what the picture is. And we'll give him our assessment. This isn't, you know, we're not going to come back. But we do it after every day. They know where they stood after practice. One after two after three after four.

4:42:18We grade everything. They're getting constant feedback in terms of where we are. And then after 15, which we had today, but, but we can't do it unless you watch the film and can, can really look at 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, but they'll, we'll have meetings with all our players. And that's, that's always been the method. So this week during, you know, between one day through Friday, we're all scheduled. No one's going on the road to recruiting until after that. But we're all applying meetings at 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've been a head coach for a long time. I mean, is that on your mind at TSD? Yeah, I think all the words you got. I'm 100 percent and I don't think it's pressure. But 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.

4:43:23Guys, we got to have, we 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 whatever then is we're not allowed as coaches to go back out and practice with them. You know, in college football, you get 15 training sessions in the, in the off season. And then they'll go back to working with Mick in the weight room and getting bigger, getting faster, getting stronger. They'll have organized activities themselves and 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 been involved in this is that it kind of happens organically and authentically. You know, because the players know. If you say, we decided we're going to be with Joe and they all think it's Tim.

4:44:25You know, they're in the locker room with them every day. Players understand, you know, who they'd feel is the guy and most of the time it.

You know, when you just say, hey, this is where we are with it, you know. But there's that timetable thing. I don't, I can't give you an exact timetable on that. Rob. Chip, you talk about Julian. But 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 prey on 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, I was like that. Remember vividly second practice.

4:46:26He got to the fifth reading the progression and threw it out here in his 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 that that foul, he was right. And he came back the other day, whether 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. The light bulb goes off and you know, whoa, like they got it. So everybody has different learning styles. You know, our job in the evaluation process is to identify those learning styles. So you know, they cognitive learn, they an auditory learner, you know, do they learn by feel? Is it more a feel 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?

4:47:27And we can we convey it because education basically is just a transportation knowledge. But it really doesn't matter what I know or what I am. It doesn't matter what they know. So 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 he doesn't feel it's a good play, then why is it in? You know, I mean, and that's that's this whole feeling of process that we're all, they're learning awesome. We're learning them. So, I have identities. So do coaches really? Really? Running quarterbacks. Is that something you've always sort of lean toward or is it year by year case by case? What advantages do you like about it? Because all your guys can run a little bit. Yeah, 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.

4:48:27The petrol my home's another 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 to hook side, you know, and there's times where you have to understand if you do have a running quarterback. And we talk about the best of the best ability is availability. You're not lowering your children, 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 going to see us. 20 times a game. We're running the quarterback. There are people that run 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, Devon took off a couple of times today air took off a couple of times today. He's a really, really good athlete. Julian can run, but you know, we're not calling design quarterback runs, you know, you're not going to see, you know, a tremendous amount of respect for co-chays and the legacy that he left here.

4:49:30The straight T is about as far as we go. We are not going single wing. So we are not going to snap it and run quarterback ice on quarterback power. 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 going to continue to bend from the quarterback, pulls it, he's on the edge and he's getting first downs. Well then the defensive end has to stay outside and contain the quarterback. Well then we can run the ball up 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 it on the run. And his responsibility is to make the defense be honest. And that's really, Eric did that a couple of times today. We had a block that safety was sticking his face in there. So Eric took off around the edge. What happens in next play, the defense is wider. Then what do we get to do? We get a chance to hand the ball off to the running man. Coach, thank you so much for your time and thank you for being a buck eye. All right, thanks. It was definitely addressed here, you know, this pretty season. I think Austin Sarigel stepped up in a big way, you know, with Donnie being out. And then, you know, Carson can play both guard and center, which is good.

4:50:33And you know, we've actually, you know, sent us 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 there 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 we got. Rob Aller. What's the main thing you want to see out of the old line? You know, you know, whether it's whatever happened last year is last year, but I know that the message to our offensive line is we want to play. I want to be 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 that goes with the playing of the offensive lines. All the communication is a lot of things that have to get into place. I think Seth has done a nice job of communicating and understands the offense better now. He takes control up front and brings everybody together, which is great. 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.

4:51:34And that's the start to game. That's the end of the game. This is a destination spot for why we see what we can do. What I really mean. Maybe not for a line. You see that definitely. How do you get over that? No, no, I don't see it that way at all. I think we'll see what we got this year. But I feel like we've got some really good young players in the system. I think that we should have the best offensive line in the country. That's the standard here. It has been for a long time. And so we'll keep pushing towards that this year. And I think everybody in that room will take the same thing. Tony Gerbett. I was in a situation of no line back here. You should go right down. Yeah. So, uh, sunny has really stepped up and played well. He's made this transition from safety to linebacker. Very well. I think he did a nice job in the spring, but you could definitely see as he went into the summer, just, you know, bigger, stronger, uh, being more comfortable closer to line of scrimmage.

4:52:37It's different when you're closer to line of scrimmage. I was doing a better job getting his hands on, you know, on offense alignment and getting off of blocks. He's in a better job, going a better job with his hands. I think he understands the communication. The linebackers always have to be involved with the front. They can be involved and fit into the back end. He's doing that. You know, I think he's, you know, looking forward to play, uh, playing in the 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 leader in the club bus. Can you tell Ryan, I mean, Seth McLaughlin can tell he's been there, done that. Is he, is he projected that to the offensive line? You're still, when I'm saying, for a leadership standpoint, a grown man. Yes. How does that just come up?

4:53:37How does it show up? Uh, a bunch of ways. It's just poised. It's not getting rattled when, you know, coach parks at you. It's, you know, okay, I got this when you get into 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 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 off. You have a fast lover. I spent so over. It was a point where you got a black stripe off and I feel like it took a step. In the right direction when you come in in the summer, it is very difficult to get on the field,

4:54:41especially 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 he had before. You know, you've seen some of those guys get some reps early 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. 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 a little bit ahead. Anybody who comes in and January to me, I don't look at them as a freshman anymore. They've been here during the program and we expect them to contribute. You're still in there right there talking and communicating, but in the scrimmages we've had, it's been offense very deep.

4:55:56So 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 the play clock and then when I mean that, you know, the close by communication inside of 15 goes off. There's a lot of things that go on there. We don't really get notification on that. So I'm trying to just help chip with that and some communication that way personnel. But I'm going to very much involve with special teams. I think with the two minute warning, there's some strategic things that are going to go on again and half in the game that I'd really be involved with. But to your point, just overall just looking guys in the eye and making sure that, you know, they have to right look in their eye. That they understand, you know, with the situation, what's going on in the game, you know, that happens sometimes with young players, you know, they're just like playing the next play. And that's not just how it works. We'll get to win the situations. And so all those things will come into play and make an in game adjustments, you know, be involved with all three faces, you know, watching the game of the table to try to identify what happened in the last series.

4:56:58I think all those things will be happening. Right now, Nick is going to be the starter. And you know, that competition going for next week, but right now, as we head into the weekend, he is the starter and the plan is for him to go first part of what we go on Saturday against anchor. He's got a strong leg. He's made it a good transition into the country, but also just playing football and not Australian football, which is very, very different. The snap to kick has really improved. You know, that was one thing. He's a taller guy. So the ball has to get out of this. You know, get out for a quick faster. I think he's done that his time time has been good and he's been more consistent. You'll see, you know, he'll kick a few that just go right out of the stadium and you just have a strong, strong leg.

4:57:58So we're looking for that consistency. He's shown that here most recently. So he's got the upper hand right now. And last question, Jeremy. 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 who was there. Or because maybe there was a thought he wasn't going to 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? And what what what is Will's special faith to you? And where do you see him taking something? I see a bunch of traits there. I think the first trade of size is big. He can stand in the pocket and he's strong. So I mean, that's the first thing to 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. He he feels a rush. But he stands right in there. I think the next trade is just, you know, his top end speed. He runs 22 miles an hour at that size, which there's not a lot of guys who can do that.

4:59:02So I think that's the extraordinary. And I would I would say his overall leadership command in the huddle is is another. You know, something that he's he's really, you know, grown into in the last few months. And he's been here. And then his accuracy. He's been very accurate since he's been here. And when he knows what's going on and he can anticipate what's happening. I mean, it looks right. He's feeling and he can hurt you, you know, a bunch of different ways. So, you know, his ceiling that that's that's going to be kind of up to how he plays his season. But I see a player who has a lot of great skills that, you know, translates well to the next level. So we'll see. But I know his first focus is on winning games around here. Coach, thank you. Thank you. Coach, you have Tickr, Shabola, and the goal line and the database checks. It's really good.

Also, it's a weird thing. The first time a striker played a high state. It was also the mid first start. Yeah. You, yeah. It's like, I prepared well. And camp and practice all week. And I was, I was ready. Yeah. I have two multi-year starters. I did a lot. I mean, I could ask them, hey, what we got here. But I was prepared well. I mean, I was telling Jimmy and said, hey, we're like our blocks. I'll be emotional. What is it? It's a guy from Ohio. What does it mean to start a game? It was always my dream to come here and play and start. And having that played me.

5:02:05I was going to keep going and keep building those days. And go to games and keep building. What a much younger Austin, don't you do it? People from you that have. Oh, no, not I don't think even I told my like way. I asked my younger self, even committing it. I wouldn't believe that now having a couple of starts. Yeah. Awesome. Has this happened faster than you? I think we are coming up to play as a. I guess you're technically a sophomore. Play as a richer question. No, I knew that you two. I was going to see you some playing time now starting week one year two. I didn't see that, but like I was ready in spring ball. I knew I was going to play some stuff. But what does it mean to you to not only get the opportunities to play, but like you play well enough now. Coaching staff trust you. They've been about there. Whatever the situation. I'm so worried. So where are we on the year? I guess it shows like my preparation, my hard work,

5:03:07just everything I put into this and I just finally show up on a field. There are moments of season in the end of the spring. I kind of realized that you could play at this high level. I was with the ones. You know, if you knew you did. Yeah, the definitely was in a training camp. I mean, blocking highly can tie every day. Like it feels, it feels a lot of confidence and doing it well and not like getting balled or anything. So there's defensive tag wasn't that easy. I was a guy that didn't even miss him. Hero and Jason Moran. All those guys. Pretty much anyone on the deepened line gets a bit tough. So, and Kay and Mack as well. Yeah. We put a lot of knowledge. We were collected how about the stability and the greatness of the line. How much can he help you? He helped me a lot. And I'm proud that he's our starting center, not someone else's, but 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, Donnie and Tiger.

5:04:11That means another voice and another captain on the line. Look, ways of having that. And every with this much experience helps. You're in the middle of the middle of the line. I mean, a lot. He can tell you, like before the play was going on, like how to block someone. Like what you need to do. That's a lot. Tiger is talking about how calm he is. How much does that benefit you? You have a guy who's kind of been there and seen a lot of us. It makes us more calm. Like especially me and Kay, those are the first started. So, like we were up here with Seth. Like he brought us down. We were like five. Like our emotions weren't high. We settled in. Is that like something he tells you? Is that something you can pick up on by how he's acting? How do you kind of mean sense what he's trying to say? How he's acting? And what I mean, him. When we're on the side of him, both Josh Donney, like he was telling us, like, hey, we're cool. Like we got it, but it's pretty much like everyone. Oh cool group. How much do you think as a first time starter?

5:05:12How much did you end that? Me a lot. That was my first time ever using iPads. We didn't use the iPads in high school, but I mean, you can say, like, try to remember the defense. You can just come on the sideline and bring them. We'll play and get help. Probably the first or second after the, I thought we'd say all right. Awesome. Thank you very much. Thanks a lot, Paul. You weren't here. That's you can, a part of me, settle in the go. That's um, I want to say maybe I don't know, but I mean, when I, when I first heard 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 what I mean? I'm a plant basketball all life in 7 football and I feel like just the fast pace often, so we're running. It really fits the guys we have right now. I'm really excited for that. I know you can throw a football at 65 guys, but can you kick a football? 75 yards of Lincoln. I probably question. Lincoln, what was your question?

5:06:12How is your, uh, your roommate at the beauty? He's a blessing man. I can't complain. He's a great guy. What's the name? His name's Lincoln. Teen Hoes. Who's cleaner? I think we're both really clean. That's why we kind of pick 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. The world pretty clean so. Luke, are you still cross training in Taggol some or if you just been all guard this spring? Uh, so far I've been all guard. Um, I really don't know. Like I said, I'm taking it practice by practice. I could end up being back in Taggol and could not, but, you know, I'm just really focused in. This past practice is an excellent form. What do you think? Yeah. Oh, that mean a lot. You know, you put a lot of work in to play here. And he's been a dream just for being in Ohio kid. I'm from a high of kids perspective. It's, I mean, that's the biggest switch possible out. That would say that's going to be pretty cool. What was it like to sponsor first game getting on the field for the first time in Taggol?

5:07:15It didn't fly. It didn't fly. This is going to be a weird answer, but it feels like I was playing a game with that made sense. I was pretty locked in. I felt like just no anxiousness, no stress, no nothing. I just went in that first game. I 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 doing? It's like getting out there at the end of the day. And I was just like, honestly, I don't know. I felt less nervous that I didn't high school and it makes no sense. What do you feel is the anxiety? What have you seen in the middle of the night? A lot. I mean, I'm learning from Josh Aniston. I think, prior to one of my biggest role models here, my bigger brother, my first major. Tell him about Padilla. I don't know. Padilla, okay. Yeah, no. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, Padilla, Aniston. Those are my guys, man. I mean, even Miles too. I mean, all three of them. Those are my roommates and they're progressing every day as well on. And I'm excited to see where they can get to. I'm excited to plan and feel with them. Oh, yeah, he's been really helpful. You know, just keeping my mind just settled and straightforward on the next play.

5:08:23That's a great question. Like I said, I mean, I just need to take consistent in my work, I think. That's the biggest thing for me is just taking consistent and worrying about the next play. You guys are something that you can actually see about those big runs. And you guys started turning out. It's hand plus your hand plus your hand plus your hand. 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 me a lot easier. You know, I have those 10-11 play drops. What was that like? It's a nice relationship being. It's a certain feeling, like you guys were doing on, and they felt the first game on. I couldn't like your mouth all the time they've had to play the second game. I mean, it feels good to rip off these runs because I mean, we've put on so much work on those. And the practice and, you know, seeing the product, you know, that have worked. You know, it's a good situation. Tech Reserve says that, uh, this offensive line wise is young prepared this week. We've done top and back in there. They told us, oh, first half really, this season.

5:09:23Um, you know, it's not, you know, it's not, you know, it's just more of a down with jacks, a pretty seasonal American, etc. I mean, don't have jacks is a very good football player. When he's on the field, he makes his presence tough. I mean, we want to train it on my own. There's no margin. Just go through and you know, we know it can be. The other seat to be there was a six watching you guys last week. No, even more of a course. It felt like watching you guys. Maybe it may be even, you know, did it feel like that? Uh, yeah, I mean, we put in the work during practice. Really hard coach day really challenged us to practice hard. Positions coaches really challenged us to practice hard. I was just a result of it. But when it's grown like that, what does it feel like being in the midst of that? 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. I mean, I was really funny to see.

5:10:31I was really funny to see. What is Seth Benwoff from you guys for the first of the games? What's it been like playing XM for the last two? You know, he's really calm. And you're like playing XM for the last two. He's, you know, he's really calm and stormy. You never see real panic and having a guy like that mess you and, you know, you're having really played as many meetings with snaps. There's no one outside of the rest of my left and some of my right. You know, for our end set. Those guys, they do so much for this offensive line. People have talked 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? Yeah, like I said, and crunched him, you know, when things aren't exactly looking like how we practice it, you know, having a guy like that will slow down. We'll do this, this, this, and then we execute it.

5:11:32Having a guy like that like this, there's none better than that. You wrote? What you got? I'm there. You're from this room. What's my favorite cake? Right, brother. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And now, I almost came back with a coconut son of this and more. You know, he's looking at Marshall. They got a couple guys in the deep heats of the road that have big tin bodies. You know, what do you see when you look at their tape and see, um, just team 7, a couple of those guys are pretty big things. Yeah, those guys here, they're real players. They're real players. And so they're coached well. They go hard, you know, they're real players over that lead. We've been practicing for the best of our goldies, you know, and spectacles.

5:12:33that. They play good ball over there and you know their defense plays hard. They challenge teams you know sometimes they might be overlooked and they still challenge teams you know. And so they come out there with the mentality like no matter what reason. 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. We should shift off the rest you know keeping back in it inside. Yeah I mean I hear from Paris every once in a while trying not to bother them too much but it's always always good to hear from guy like that guys like the one even Matt Jones returning back.

5:13:36Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for your time. For this year just be able to get that draft. I think it's my weight my height is more regard height but I'm fast on my feet and I just need to use that technique right now. Sometimes I want to be on that just like defend but you know I'm going to stay in stitch where it's up. Yeah that's a great question. I feel like these two can enter that for the year right now I think KK here I don't know what to say about that what do you know to stay for. I'm talking about basketball here. You can just see what things I mean.

5:14:38He doesn't give up on the play and he's going to go in and watch the film. He's going to give a better man. He's not going to have to say he's going to prove another game. Here if he was far worse around I'll be in the game. He's not like a coach man. He's not like a coach. Chip Kelly's influence changed your mind about maybe like the idea of tackle versus guard because obviously his offensive predelitionals were like yeah the offensive line for a room game. Has he been a part of the settling undergrad? I would 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 playing basketball all life and set up football and I feel like just a 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 football like 65 guys but can you kick a football 75% Lincoln?

5:15:40Probably question. Lincoln what was your question? How is your your roommate at the beauty? He's a blessing man I can't complain. He's a great guy. What's his name? His name's Lincoln. Teen Hoes. Okay. Who's cleaner? I think we're both really clean that's why we kind of pick each other's roommates because we're very clean and we don't like our rooms really messy. That's true though. It's true the rope pretty clean so. Luke are you still a cross training at tackle some or if you just been all guard this way? So far I've been all guard. I really don't know like I said I'm taking it practice by practice. I did end up being back attack by good and on but I'm just really focused in on this past practice and the next one. What do you think? I don't know what you're going to be doing. Yeah. Oh that mean a lot. You know you put a lot of work in to play here. You spend a dream just from being in the high okay. From a high kids perspective. I mean that's the biggest wish possible.

5:16:41I would say that's going to be pretty cool. What was it like last year first game getting on the field for the first time? It didn't like this is going to be a weird answer but it feels like I was playing a game that made sense. 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 hit me after but no one was like what would you feel there? And if like getting out there at Indiana I was like honestly I don't know. I felt less nervous that I didn't high school and it makes no sense. What is it like to have a ball in the snow and what is it? What is it like to have a ball in the snow? I mean I'm learning from Josh Ann Austin. I think prior to where my biggest role model is here is my bigger brother in my first game. I'm up to Dia. No I'm up to Dia okay. Yeah no. Yeah so yeah to Dia in Austin those are my guys man. I mean even Miles too I mean all three of them that's those are my roommates and they're progressing every day as well. And I'm excited to see where they where they can get to.

5:17:43I'm excited to play with them. Oh yeah you know it's been really helpful you know just keeping my mind just settled and straightforward on the next play. That's a great question. 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 staying consistent and worrying about the next play. I was going to my game and I was like whoa I never had that happen like no other school like just Ohio State field can't make it. And I was like wow that's crazy. Do you like I mean I'm quiet but also do you like that? Do you want everything that comes to you? Do you think we want to do it? I do but at the same time I don't just like to be a normal person. I don't really like to just like that. What's going on in the field are you a showman? I mean how does he describe his kind of like your art form? Yeah I mean yeah I want to feel I'm a little bit more chipier a little bit but sometimes I still require them. What is the competitive part of you? What did that one that you know you said about yourself? Oh I've been having that every since I was like eight nine years old.

5:18:46I mean it happens. I mean just how I am how is the rate just to be competitive. That's the reason why chose to come to Ohio State just to compete each and every day. It gets the best DB group in the country. I mean you want to get in the next and then then sell Perk etc. Oh yeah for sure I'm just going to get into God the best two DBs in the country. I mean that's the reason I can't hear. Just going to get God just go maybe better each and every day. Yesterday you played the right zone. Yeah. You didn't say it worked. You played later you called where I was. You didn't say it worked out. I said I said he said when he defed little boy he said I'm here I said okay we'll be back. And that's some be back then when I'm going to be the play. I just walked off that's it. When you're part of all the same thing. I said I told you I'm coming back right. What's it like getting back to the car now saying you're going to be back? It feels great just us three to be on the field together.

5:19:47We're going to make a lot of plays this year. I learned a lot especially from Cardinal because we both played 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. What specifically you got better at that and you can't compare to what you've heard Scott. I said my footwork that's the biggest game. My coach at Lawn 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. What can still be a work ethic in here? Still my work at the end. I mean just I really don't know I can't really answer that but it just it 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 at what I do. So I mean I really I say get from my dad. Why do you see the clip of my day? You know I'm Johnny Day when I'm showing you.

5:20:48Yeah. Yeah. How close did you come to this? I wasn't super out of I don't know why. I made a scene when I gave it that. I was a bad guy and that's it. How did you dad set me table? He said a big example on me. I mean just I ain't go say it was only just my dad. I mean I have a cousin's name. You know it's very pretty for the Seattle Seahawks. So I was I was looked up to him as well. I mean seeing what he was doing at West Virginia with table Austin and Steadman Bailey. So I mean he was a motivation for me. And just all the guys that grew up before me in a Miami-Guarded area, a brow area for sure. I mean just looking at those guys. I say Brandon Enders for sure he was class ahead of me. So I see the things he was doing in the eighth grade. And I was just like whoa. I mean that's something I want to do. What do you expect for him? I mean Chris Cardo on my podcast at the teammates club. He's actually be a factor from the first play. First day, first game, et cetera. Those are big expectations. What do you get bracelets? I really don't.

5:21:48I mean I know it's big. Especies for me because no one playing in 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 things. And I receive a room and a locker room. And no just first game come if I don't see the expectations that you have for me. I don't really care. I just want to go out there and win a game. How much of a confidence do you have for you when people like Chris Cardo and Marvin Harrison Jr. are saying, this guy can even take a seat for the last day. I mean it's something great. I mean I just got to go out there on the field and just show you guys that I could beat it. That's probably the greatest, the highest they've received with a company here. So I mean it's a blessing and no have that. But I mean that's our god damn play and show you guys. What does it mean a lot for me to be? Was it the first freshman? Yeah, I mean just that's a blessing for me for sure. Just shows all the hard work that I put in all the main on the way to the way to the room.

5:22:49What's your majority? My dad really. The maturity. They'll just be older than, don't act my age. I go to my age. I mean a lot of people tell me that I don't act my age. I'm way beyond my years. I mean just, I just got to be mature and don't act like a kid. What is the couple more questions for Jeremy? What is it about? 730. It's just, no, when I see a 50-50 ball, I mean just, I just think it's, I gotta make the play. It's on me, you know, matter how the ball is. If it's a bad ball, I just feel like I gotta make that play. No matter what the certain sense of this, you know, matter if it'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 are you getting between the ball and the fender come from? I mean, that's how I set you apart in my skin. Do you always have that neck?

5:23:49I did always have that neck because I was like, since I started to parents see it right like eight or nine years old, I just found the way to, you know, make sure that ball is mine when it's in the air. And I just, I always find the way to make my quarterback look good. Oh yeah, for sure. He definitely made a big jump from industry. 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, but I love quarterback to talk. And you know, just get around his players and make them feel good about it. So he talked about, you know, just, you just say a lot of stuff I can't say, but he'll talk for sure. Okay. Jeremiah, thank you very much. Thank you guys. I was on me, my split was too, he wanted me to come my split down. So that was, that was on me.

The result of that play is science. Clear that will be offense. If you're single about 401, press man, they're willing to take that shot to you every time. Were you expecting to have this bigger role in the offense this early? Not at all. Just coming in, no, this is a high estate. And just all the receivables that been here and I was here before I got here. So I did not have no expectation that was having the role that I had right now. So I mean, I just get all the things to go and then just be able to be in this position right now. Is that surreal to you then?

That's really when he was just trusting me just throwing it out and I'm just going to go get it. Yeah, for you. You're on the play saturday with the thing you said you're supposed to do. Yeah, to why. Yeah. I should have cut my spit. Now I think I was, you know, like bottom of the numbers I should have been like numbers plus numbers plus two. I believe. Yeah, something like that.

5:27:54This is the whole coach program. You feel like a normal parchment. I mean, you're an exceptional freshman for this universe. Yeah, I mean, I love it. I still feel like I'm just a regular freshman, but you know, a lot of people say I'm not, but. I mean, just the role that I have just coming in is just, it's been a blessing. I just can't think. Uh, can't say it's on me is on God and just the coaches for trusted me to ever put a freshman out there. And just to go out there and make plays and just build out the. Hearing from your teammates, you've solved the confidence in you, but you said you didn't expect to have playing time. So what did you actually expect? How much do you think you would have thought? Not that much because you know, you got a car now. Take you got mecha, Google I came back. You got bringing in that big. If you're a Jettin baller, all on God. So really my mentality of just coming in just working, learning and just no special teams and make plays on special teams. I love my mentality was.

5:28:55I mean, just watching them date. We better team in the last three teams in place. So I mean, it's going to be better team that last couple years that we played a higher state play them as we could they said. So man, it's going to be a good game. You got to go to the higher state as always better be as a. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, man. Oh, yeah, for sure. We hungry right now. I can see in the air, buddy, us. Everybody in office office along quarterback will however receive. We definitely hungry for sure. We're ready to go out there and have a dinner and just put on the show. Austin Warren, the podcast. Did you? I have to bet it, but what would it know you more? Being interfered with not getting the call or not being able to make the catching? I say be able not to make the catch anyway. I fly everybody. I'm throwing in me. I have to catch it no matter how. The defender on me or not. I just felt like I had to make a play no matter what.

5:29:57I mean, I played Saturday. I feel like I could have caught it, but you know, it was a pass in the front. It was a draw. That was a lot of a damage system outside of football. about beating Oregon and just going out there to pass a deal and just put on the show. Anybody else have questions? Tom Moore, a fuck guy huddle. You mentioned getting braggied by a mission and he's that. Broke straight and we've seen that from the bottle teams. Yeah. Is that broke straight and is that you know you and it feels like you always think you're open or you still open when you're braggied? Oh yeah for sure I'm still open no matter what braggar or not. I mean they just came out with a good game plan to break it me and a mecca and you know uh me just you know things didn't go as planned as we thought it would but you just got to keep

They have some great

5:33:12global guys there. Jabbar Muhammad number seven. Niko Rhee, the other corner of my nine over there. A great global guys. I mean probably the best we go see all year for sure. We just got a good new bill. Ohio State. Tony. Birdman. Fuck I have. So why don't you not open? Probably wouldn't a whole team on me. I should say. I mean I'm always open for me for sure. Let me just know throw the ball in my area. I'm going to find a way to make a play as I can see. It's all clear 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 one of the greatest in this work? I mean a lot of people tell me that I'm going to be great at what I do since I was about wanting to high school. A lot of people tell me that. I mean just you know football is

5:34:15all I know and that's all I really want to do. Like I live, breathe, sleep, football. Like 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 of our lettering. We're all seem like you have a role where trying to connect on some of the balls throughout the year. You'll be able to find and do those in that moment. What's the same about the way that you're going to continue to progress? I mean just you know the weeks that we had all we were just working on deep shots because they tell us immediately that we have we got to take shots downfield. We just got to connect on them and you know will tell me before before the games like I said you got to throw the ball out then just give me a chance and I'm going to make a play for you. That's what that's what you told me and I just got to make a play for you. Adam King don't you 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 you're just a freshman. How do you take all these expectations? You know when

5:35:17you step on the field that you're always open and still go out there and play? I mean expectations I mean I can't know how you stay for a reason that's what I wanted. When it be a challenge I want the expectation. Expression I just say. I mean coach hotline just helped me throughout the whole year just preparing me for each game each week. Mecha, Buka, Cardinal Tey, Brendan and really the whole receiver on just helped me stuff. I don't really know about it just helped me throughout the whole week and I can't really say it's all on 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. Andrew Gillett, what do you think about that? Jeremiah Over Thousand years, what was the most important part of your career? When you look back at your freshman year what was the most important part about adjusting to the college game? What was the part that you had the hardest part about trying to train this one? Learning that playbook. I playbook is something that was just coming in spring ball. Mecha's new plays in every week. I'm like what is this?

5:36:18This new plays every day in coach hotline. You're going to be good. We've got summer fall camp. You're going to be great. That's it. That's definitely the hardest part of learning the playbook and a lot of other things. How long have you been trying to get that down? How long have you been taking these days? I'm pretty sure I've got it down the path right now but next season I really want to learn everything. The HZ. I really want to learn everything in the playbook for next year for sure. That would be 24-7 sports. You mentioned how many guys it might take because you did not feel of them. So when you are one-on-one and Will's talking about what EC's you being one-on-one. What is going through your mind as you line up and realize there's one guy covering you? Win. That's all I could say. When I was with Coach Hotline we do something like in a hotel Friday night before again. He asked me like a question like you get one-on-one, something like that. He asked me what do you do? I say win. Everybody just start laughing. I don't know where I really like. It's true.

5:37:21You got a win. You're one-on-one. Up out of the way. The right-field landed. King's of the North. Jeremiah, did you move to your round? So I'm going to send a seed to the point where you get a couple matchups against linebackers. What goes through your mind when you find yourself mashed up against a linebacker? I just start laughing in my head a little bit. I mean linebackers can't really cover receivers like that. So I just know like it's most likely going to be open. But 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 they just move me around a lot. Or left. They love it more in the lanterns. Jeremiah, you mentioned the most difficult part of your freshman campaign has been learning the playbook. What has been the best part so far? My way is going to rub off on people eventually. And I would also say that you kind of have to understand who you're talking to. You know people, certain stuff makes different people tick. So you've got to know your guys. You know if you got to get harder on somebody to make them go or if you got to kind of relate to them.

5:38:21You know, pull them aside. I haven't talked so I think that all goes into leadership and you have to be able to. That has to be a skill that you have to be able to do. What's been the most difficult time I coached there? You know, these are two big coach. You know, you've been a play college community as well as step into that. It must be different about you. I want to say, you know, too much has necessarily changed, but you can tell you how to tremendous trust and coach Kelly. I mean, what he's what he's going to do in the kind of a scheme and everything that he's brought into our program. So the fact that, you know, he has such confidence in him and his by calling ability makes us tremendously confident. So coach days has always been coached in the continue to stay that way. But I'm glad he's able to focus more on what he needs to focus on. He's kind of a field general in a sense, kind of a quarterback on that side. A lot of people may think just, you know, the Mike linebacker, we have Cody Simon who does that as well. But Caleb's kind of that for our secondary kind of make sure things are clicking on all cylinders.

5:39:22And he's just a very cerebral kid, very smart. And he's able to kind of take control of the defense. So make the right calls, make the right checks. So he's definitely annoying for the office to deal with, but it makes us better. Is that the case in fact, do you have any way where you are? Where you are? I would say in fact, the entire offense. It's not like, you know, we're not oblivious to the fact of the caliber player he is, but, you know, as an offense, you come out and you expect to execute on anybody who's lined up a question. So that's your first catch. Yeah, I never really thought about it like that. But we definitely come a long way since my freshman year, thankful to the Lord, they've come these years and come ahead and allow me to, you know, develop into the person that I am now. But so, you know, coming full circle, it is really surreal moments of being my senior year playing against, you know, the people I got my first catch. So it's really cool.

5:40:22I remember Kyle getting yelled at. He was not supposed to throw, and I also remember getting pushed out at like the one or two year online. So that's kind of a bittersweet memory, but 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. What kind of analogies is this game for for? I don't know if you have a little call to the game, but you're right. Who's up? Yeah, my little kid, he kind of has all the intangibles ever see where you can tell you just love the game, the way he goes about his business. He runs every route to perfection. He's a very cerebral kid. And every time he gets on the field, he expects perfection. So 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. Look, I hope that you've seen Jeremiah's play roll over camp to be able to put this opportunity so on Saturday. I think it's no secret that he has all the physical capabilities that you would want to receive a really any position he could play.

5:41:22Because there's another football field with his athletic ability. So a lot of it for him was putting together the mental piece of the game. Not just understanding what he has on a specific play, but the whole concept. Understanding defense is all that type of stuff. 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. Once he gets acclimated, gets used to it. I have no doubts it's going to take off for us. We do so many things. You know, when you see him face continuing to bring the team together. Yeah, I mean, it's been a huge part of everything that we've done. Been a huge part of a lot of the reasons why the students came back and everything like that. So we have a team by the study that we continue to do and continue to grow. I'm kind of just pre-sistered to the other gospel, the other guys on the team. And it's definitely permeated throughout the team throughout the years because looking back a couple of years ago, there wasn't that many people on the team heavily into their faith. And a lot came a couple special people who really changed the timing of this of our program. But you know, the Bible says one man plans and the other man watches, but God ultimately brings the increase. So we're just trying our best to stay up against the Lord and he's done tremendous things.

5:42:25We're just two special people. I'll say kind of the the the founders. I'll say of the teams faith. We're definitely master team for one Cameron Bab and Xavier Johnson. So those guys, what do you do in response to what I view my responsibility as a captain, just as a person in general, to push everybody closer to Christ. 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 for people to look up to. And I think all the basic principles that are found in the Bible in the title of Christ, and that's really make you a better leader, a better person, better football player in a sense. So I just try my best to anyway him.

5:43:35Yeah, 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. You know, false stars penalty is all this type of stuff. So we're really just trying to be clean. Go out there, play a fast, complete football game, clicking on and firing on all cylinders. By no means are under estimating any opponent. We go out there on the field every Saturday, expecting to pull out whoever lines up across from us. So that's just our mentality. So we're going to hold true to that. Yeah, very, very un-series guy, very funny guy. Kind of lines the room when he walking, when he walks in. And he's just, he's a true joy to be around. And you can kind of throw will into any setting. And he's going to get along with everybody there. So definitely up the team chemistry locker room. We love having him around. So we're super glad he's part of this team. A line they were getting back there, looked pretty good and so far.

5:44:35And we also expected them to play, oh, come out with an edge. We knew that they were in the team that they did the honor. Like you mentioned, there was some past protection issues. A fraud and some things that maybe rushed a little on some plays. But when the ball did come out, you guys were efficient in the passing game. 13 or 16, 13 players, or attempts. What allowed is the passing effect to skate. That's classic as even the off the fly will be from the off the room. The ball just had to come out quicker and throw. But we had to see every team. In the line, I just had to do that. And they're running faster and quicker. How much do you feel like that game can be a building block for you in terms of continuing to be a big, a big party off-line? I feel like each game, a building block. I've got each game and stuff like that. So I just made big plays in games. So like that, I just thought I could somehow be building block from the past. I don't know if the line been working so hard as keeping that. They've been doing pretty good. They've been doing that and stuff like that. New guys, new places and stuff like that. We're all trying to pick up from the injuries and stuff. And you guys are the one game that's been swathing last couple of days.

5:45:36How can the flaggers sleepers help in that protection? We just got a good end. Getting the box down. You know why don't you guys get in there and probably get the safety. Get linebackers or at the end. So like that, whatever they need us to do. On your touchdown catch, so this is like a distance ball a while to come down. They came. They're throwing into the wind. Yeah. Colonel, what's your like? Like I asked you earlier. Did you figure the ball was going to be coming sooner or later this year to call it a grab. Meaning, you know, they've got three big time migraises. They've made it four or five. If you figure it eventually, it would find you insignificant. That's significant. Yeah, I knew the ball would come my way. Each and every week, we have plays for each and all of us in the line. And the president with the defense gives us like give us one thing. You know, it's not a ball goes away from me or goes comes to me and stuff like that. So ultimately, it's not in my decision where it ball goes. And yet you're blocking a state of point. So like you're blocking, is that important? Yeah, our blockers from the White House has been a big emphasis this year and stuff like that.

5:46:36Because we lacked their pretty much all last year. So they may have big emphasis on blocking this year from the White House. And when you look at Vince made on video, what just stands out about there maybe they're passing past with you. But you're going to be personally up against them. They are pretty good. I think they played man and a lot of things like that. So we got to win our 101s. I thought they were on the perimeter. I'm similarly. I know you got to see a kid in the game last year. I'm similar. They're up against you to corner. So what you make it so much? I'm pretty much the same. A man covered all around. They got a little size on the foot and stuff like that. They all probably pretty much the same. So I was all around. Thank you guys. Thank you guys. Thanks. Thanks. Thank you. Hi guys. I'd say back pressure. He's knocked away. He kind of brings some good energy. Jason Middleton right there too. He kind of oversees Max and Bronke a little bit. That's pretty fun. And then catching. We all have some pretty good opportunities for catching. Especially practice we're going to make some good big touches.

5:47:36Very competitive. We're fish here. Yeah. Definitely competitive. But in a good way. We're all there. Supportive. We all know our strength and business. And we're all going to have to practice. We're working with each other. We hope you're totally getting better. We all know that we're moving each other. We'll see what's going to be on season. There we are. You know. He adjust the properties from the wall to the empty. And then the pressure point is up here. I'm going to get there every point where you push. Okay. Objects. I'm part of it. I need to do it. I'm part of it. I need to do it. I need to do it. I'm part of it. I need to do it. I need to do it. I need to do it. Exactly. Like his growth. I need to do it. I'm part of it. I need to be like... I'm going to stand on stage. Then everything... Awesome. If you're not sure about how some people are arguing. How are you...? Well, speaking with the TAV ok but... I hope that the coaching comes through wrong. I don't know. Something I start to deal with. Okay. So... I mean. I mean. It was before breakfast. The Rutgers was just a first opportunity.

5:48:55I mean, that's what our unit is. We're turning it into a toughest one. That's what we're doing. The first lesson is on. I would say we definitely have won. What he started in this way. That's where it was all started. I'm just trying to get it hard. You know, going to 100 points. I know it didn't happen. You got it. You got it. You got it. I mean, I want to really say it's real. That's real. That's real. And counting buildings was right there. So if it's a lab, you fall star. And if it's a lab, you fall star. That's what you're going to need. Is that the guy you know, those are the last. But I would say our indie kind of drills are going to throw us out of the roughness. Because our teams probably know the toughest. We're just going, you know, full reps, you know. We're going to challenge with blockings that you have. Because we are working on that. So that there is a lot of work to be done.

5:49:55So it's kind of a practice work. I'm 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 playing is good. How often do you go back? I would say probably once a week, it was usually somewhere around there. There's some good people. Yeah, get a family dinner. Do you ever go back for a very high school event? Yeah. When the schedule permits? Yeah, it's a week when we have byweeds or this week I can go back. When things ramp up in the school, how do you balance that? Do you know how things are going to be? Yeah, it does. Especially when the skin is stressed and the amount of it is going to be fine.

5:50:57You really have to be very stressed and go to the nursing school and you have to be really down on the same schedule. Now that we're on this over 10 minutes, what excited about getting on the field and playing meaningful football? You know, the brothers, seeing the brothers succeed, you just know them all the work and we'll put anything we can go for them. That's awesome. Are you a big guy who had on the taking in the environment where you could fall business once you step out of the heart of school? I'd probably say it's a little business. I kind of just kind of went out and I go out there and it was really fun. But there's moments when we had a big run at Notre Dame on the big metal, that was awesome. There's moments like that when you just kind of have to look at the environment and just go out and play. When you were when you were at Notre Dame and getting a lot of things to push back, how can you prepare for that for everything happening?

5:52:00Is there a way that you can get back in that moment? Practice, you know, practice here is a hundred percent here. So that means in the DNA, you can get in there and then if you can definitely see me help you and work on it. At the game it means just what they're about practice and what clothes it's wearing. What do you think about it? That's what you're talking about the DDS, you know, it's kind of a working and balanced practice. How do they push you as to having a better experience? A little quicker than me. So I'd like to get my hands on them a little bit if I can and we just have a little bit of that. Well, their quickness kind of helps me get my feet on them. I mean, I keep up with the things that I do and I do it. I do it. I do it. I do it. I do it. I do it.

5:53:02I do it. I do it. I do it. I do it. I do it. I do it. I do it. It's important to make your ship go through the office. Good. We're close. We talked a lot. I would say during mid-Spring out your spring, I said okay, I'm going to do better this.

5:54:27I'm going to do better this. I'm going to do better this. Yeah. Yeah. Again, we bounce on the start. Sometimes we're watching the film and I don't know if that's me or if it's me. It takes you a second. I'm going to do a few things. It's really great. It's really great. Yeah. I mean, like I said, they're the best in the country, they're the best in the country. In the going instead, they're working my technique, my hand plays my feet for a year. I'm not able to play, I developed that area of the race.

5:55:30It did, but at the same time, we were different teams. We were kept down 26-pound, 26-pounder plays. The year is more than usual. We did do the jaquins, that's more exciting. So it's different footwork, different body movements. I've continued to get one of those. Do you feel like there's just an opportunity for all of you in the tight end road, with Cade now. We're having this case for sure, but we're communicating and we're making sure that better. It's your five-on. Strength of the brand itself is the only thing that's going to be the spring game. It's one block. It's one block. It's one block. It's your way of thinking. It just shows how well we have going on in the highest days. We're fortunate enough to have a program. I mean, a game on national programs. I think it shows the power of the program. For more content this week in Tilt Coating said maybe that started last week before Iowa. Do you hear thoughts on how you guys move back? Do you hear the season we can see?

5:56:30I think going back to this foundation, I think, other 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 one show toughness. But to your point last week, I believe there was position groups that were challenged, not necessarily taking a personal, but just challenged to practice harder. 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. That's just the evolution of getting better as a team. And I think one thing I've noticed with this football team is that I think every single week we play, we've continued 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 at it. But I think we're seeing that here with this football team as well. I think when we talked to you in campus, you said you were excited about how you guys are going to run the ball this year. And obviously, you've done that. 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?

5:57:31I 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 respect. 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 some of the things that just leaves gaps in the ability to catch 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 the perimeter, the 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 David are doing 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 B 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 to be here? How would you guys characterize the balance of the ball?

5:58:31Yeah, 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. Now, when I say that, we still have the humility to know that we must continue to be better weekend and we gout. 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, Z or we can leave him. I think we have 11 guys on both side of the ball that are able to be dynamic and the physical and strong players. And I think we're just a complete team. But 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. You should. I would just attribute that to my faith in my Lord, David Jesus Christ.

5:59:36I think before you can lead anybody else, you have to have a sense of foundation who you are. Having a sense of self and idea of self. I think the more that I've been able to be strong in my faith, the more confidence it has 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 practice, practicality of football, I think the more you have an understanding of the offense, the more vex you are in the offense, the more that you know, the more ability you can then hand-know into the next group of younger guys coming behind you. I don't know if you're going to be able to learn from me. The ocean moves us, surfing a wave or savoring the view. The ocean delights us as playful otters restore coastal kelp forests.
