What kind of impact is he had for you and I think it's in the other.

2:07Just. Uh, I'm close hard in my room. I'm close to Jordan and step up and he's up as an everything. He's a big help. And I just like make sure we stand up and stuff. We're just talking about stepping into a big role in the slide. How much do you watch? I like that every day. Try and take things. Whether it's preparation stuffy, those on the field. Just learning from a guy like that. Yeah, every time I watch him, I want him. So I just thought to take some of this game and I had it to my. And Bryson largest to take some of this. All the receivers. Yeah, they always help you out on. And I need to go. Is what's in life walking into this room to the civility and staying with all the history of you already smiling? I mean, you know what it means to be a part of this world. What's that? It's a big step. Definitely. It definitely holds a lot like a soldier. So you got to, you got to, you got to take quick. It's definitely a big dream for mine. I'm a good job on, I'm blessed to be here.

3:09You won that. Yeah, that's why you come. Yeah, that's why you come. What kind of advice you got from some of the workers that is already. Even before Springgolf's started to talk to the Mecca. So what those guys did you want? I tried not to take everything personally. Like, I was saying, when you know time will come, we will make a comment. I'm going to make that play. And I'll be looking forward to that. And then I'll be looking forward to that play. And it's going to go on from here. Awesome. Thank you.

4:09With guys going in, going out, you moving back to guard, going in. What was that like in the moment having to adjust on the fly? I mean, we're built for this, like, just how I move the center. And Steve moved the left guard. It's just, we're all pretty much interchangeable. And you're going to all play all positions across the board. And, you know, when it comes down to that time, you know, things like that going to happen. We're ready for it. AJ came in and given all of the circumstances for him coming off the fly. Yeah. I mean, all those guys are ready, you know. We prepare during the week, during training camp for situations like this. So it's not nothing new to them, you know. Guys are calm, cool, collected, they have good composure. So being elevated, being active, being a starter, you know, we're all in the same boat, ready to fly. I know it's a next man of mentality. But in real time, when that was happening, the guys were going down and switching. What was the challenge for both of them physically and mindset? I mean, we're all, like I said, we're all pretty much interchangeable.

5:09You know, like, if I need to go to left guard center, whatever, but I need to go to center of the guard. However, you know, it's not really like a big shocker moment, you know. We train for this, we're prepared for this. So when it happens, you know, we're able to execute. Why don't you just talk to me and be making the switch? To left guard. I think half time. Well, coming in, it's a rookie in the crowd and the noise. And I know you said, you guys all trained for this, but what can you tell us about how he... Yeah, he's a man. You know, he's built for this moment. He's done it for his whole life. So, you know, at the end of the day, it's just a game. And we keep on, we keep trying to keep everybody calm, cool, and collected. And, you know, we're five as one. We help each other out and whenever, you know, we need to, we do it. So he was ready, he was built for it, you know, he's going to be a great player. You're obviously no stranger to Matthew's toughness. What was it like just seeing the way he loved this off? I think I, that guy's a warrior.

6:0936 years old, he's taking some hits and some things and some dents. And he's able to get back up and keep it rolling. You know, he's still got that fire to him. You know, we love having him back there. We always said after a loss, don't let the team beat you twice. But to have the lead late in the game, it's all the injuries and not win to describe that level of interest. I mean, it's the NFL. It comes down to seconds and inches and you've seen him off the past couple of days and today. And I want to kind of down to the little things and, you know, we'll see him again. And I apologize if you were asked this, but what was it like for you personally to walk on to the front of the other? It was kind of surreal, man. It was nice, it was all emotional seeing everybody. I wasn't a kid when I came here, but you know, I grew into more of a man. And these people here have definitely helped lay that blueprint for me and helped me out big time. And I can't thank them enough for that. I know you've looked at film yet for how you feel about the D. I feel really good, you know, saying it to the Huss. Because everything, careful all of a sudden, OTA is showing up.

7:11You know, we said I ground. We came up short a little bit, but in that end day, you know, it's a lot of error from me. I see a bright future for us. I think that they don't know overtime drive. I mean, you guys have been stopping them and they just seem to kind of get a role. Yeah, you know, you know, just something that we just need work on, you know, got to play around better on that and just kind of eliminate the big plays. That's all that it comes down to, but overall, I just felt like we just came up short on that. So that's the offense is kind of struggling to find its footing early in the game. What did you guys feel like you got to do as a defense team, you know? I feel like we just need to step up, you know, I know they would have come through and have our back. So I just tell the offense, you know, we got y'all back, you know, just keep going, we're going to keep on trying to hold in the best we can. So out of the visit, go. Oh, it was great. Yeah, not a lot of the staff here. You can tell it has really good family times, a strong connection. What were some things that you were looking for on your visit, whether it's, you know, talking to coach in our Val's team? I guess what was important to you on this visit?

8:12So, I mean, for me, I mean, like, this was kind of like a big decision for me, where I'm decided to kind of like not fish my degree of rest and then from the court of the cycle. I can, you know, find the place where I can develop the most. And then this is a good, a good, all-night coach in the final place where I can face good competition, not only in games, well, sometimes in practice as well. And part of the most important is just finding a good good guy as that. I dedicated to when he dedicated to being great because I mean, we have a team of me guys who aren't serious about what to be great. It's wasting time and money, so I mean, to the problem, I'm a big green, but the culture being kind of important to me. Being around coach, handed-a, what was kind of the things that you noticed around him, just whether it's how he is or just what your thoughts of him being around him most of the time. He's an incredibly detailed guy. And I got that for sure from him. It's like watching a film, like he broke down, just like some game film with me. And he also kind of broke down some of the guys that he's coaching the past that are similar to me.

9:16And, you know, that was a, he really just showed how good of a coach he is. You know, getting no attention on bellgarn, this experience, what has happened? It was good. He's a very passionate guy. And I mean, I loved that. I thought, like, a head coach should have that. And, you know, you can tell how much he cares about what the guys want to program, about the psych, being dedicated, being driven to when to succeed. What did they tell you about the opportunity here as far as meeting a player, you were sort of out of position along the offensive line? Well, I mean, they see me at a left-hack one with, I'll be a good fit, you know, coming in. I was, I think, was going to go stress, you know, and I said, other great, offensive lineman in the portal that have lots of great skills, because saying that, fill out something, I'll be good fit when it comes to, just like what you guys do. But, if he does, a little sight that people hear. What's kind of the ultimate feeling now about FSU? Have you solved this big experience with them? What's kind of the feeling about them?

10:16Yeah, it's, it's definitely good feeling. It's great. I'm glad I was actually able to come down here, because I mean, some calls and focus on nice, but, you know, in person, it's a lot different. And this is again to know the staff, you're getting to know Coach Rob. It's a, you know, a question of all, like it was a great experience of the world. Who else have you checked after in this process? Who are the schools? Oh, I've talked to other, so I've talked to a, how I'll say it in Iowa and A&M, and really just, you know, that's what we've been in. I've tried to keep it short, kind of, try to keep it sweet, or really need to be 20 bunch of schools. I mean, that's not the main priority. Are you entering decision mode now, or do you intend to take some tricks in Army January? Yeah, I'm done with this. I'm going to be one to sign. It was something I'm focused on. What all? For those of us who have only seen the mid-level highlights of moving, what are kind of your strengths and areas that you're looking to improve? So, shrink wise, I would say probably just move it.

11:16I mean, I'm 12, I go short. I'm pretty well for a 300, 45 pound guy. I got the best on them. You know, I quite, everything I'll fill. I've been able to get my stance as a victim for being so big, and I could be able to give it to people. But at the same time, also, does the need to assist in as handplacing a bunch on a forwarding general to the second week. I mean, if you're a big, strong guy, you can only do so much when you don't have the right technique. So, that's a big reason why I want to have it. I want to go short for it. So, we'll find that technique to be precise on everything. And that's kind of why we're looking for it to improve. Thank you. A lot of low-hours defense because they always travel. But are we a pro-Texas crowd for the most part? Do you guys kind of thrive off that? Do you like that kind of being the enemy? I guess. I mean, you can say that, but you know, we don't really try to focus on the fans. We just want to produce on the field. If it's a way game, home game, you know,

12:16we just want to go out there and execute. Four girls, right. Cameron T. Grovins in the athletic. It's highly, if there's a lot to say when you guys all came back for some of those teams that don't like to be in these last two games, we have 12 stacks. I mean, you guys really aren't listening to Tom. It's not even a start. The bench guys can yada. The players come in. Which is what's it been like to see this group realize it's potential and kind of with account of recap glass. I said we always knew what we had in our room. You know, it's just, now it was just showing up, you know, teams are scheming us different ways. And it's allowing, you know, certain players and making certain plays. And I think, you know, we got so many guys in the room, you know, we have two that can be ones anywhere. We have three that can be ones anywhere in the country. But they all, you know, decided to stick here and, you know, grind this thing out with the guys they came in with. And like I said, I think we have a great group, who, you know, can make plays anytime. You guys get eight sex in a game, but also hold it even. I don't know if it's a minus 25 rush yards in the game.

13:18What is that like? What is that say by the job you guys did? I think it's a great feeling, you know, looking up at the scoreboard, seeing like a negative. Definitely. But, you know, it's just like all the work we put in over the summer over the season, you know, we've been building this defense to where it is now. And like I said, when we're executing and we're at a high level, it's hard to, you know, do anything with us. Behind the enemy Birmingham, the bot cat. I'm not going to ask you to call out officials, okay? But I do want to ask you, have you ever been told before? Yeah, I think our whole deline gets held, you know, every game. I don't know what the reps are seeing or what's going on with that. But you turn on the tape and really look at it. We're held almost every play. So, is there something that you can you guys be better actors? You can be more dramatic about it. What do you think has to happen for that thing to get called in your favor one time this season? We can be actors, but you know, we don't really teach none like that.

14:20But I don't know if it's where I'll, because we're Ohio State, you know, letting things go or what it is, but it's been, you know, pretty bad. I know y'all see it too. It's every play, almost every game. We got you. Adam, can you WBNF? We had a chance to see a glimpse of Coach Day's pretty game speech. The intensity that you've seen for the last two games in the playoffs. Is that different than you've seen throughout the year? And what does that do for this group before you go out on the field? I want to say it's different. He's been like that his whole year, but it's just now, you know, getting recorded and posted. But definitely when you see your head coach, it's fired up like that. Like, it's a fire in you. So, you know, go out there and do better. And you know, you can't. Thank Coach Day enough, because you know, he's our leader over this team. And he's like that. He makes you want to, you know, go out there and do great for him for like the guys around us. Scotty, we're going to go to you with a couple on Zoom. Yes, sir. We're going to start with Andy Anders.

15:20Andy, go ahead. Yeah, Ali. Texas has a lot of outside zones, and I'm going to just, you know, just, just, just, just what's important for the thing those kinds of plays on the ground. And I guess just, you're strictly out of those kinds of so to speak. Can you say that again? Yeah. I'm done viewed again there. Yeah. Just Texas runs a lot of outside zone in their run game, running schemes. Just what's important for defending that kind of plays in the faculty? For a detackle versus a stretch team, you always want to talk about penetration, like penetrating the line and not catching, because once you penetrate the stretch, it basically stops the stretch and makes them come back to unblocked players. So really just attacking this game and not catching. Next question is going to come from Dan Hope. Dan, go ahead. Hi, Leake. You are in a freshman class with Quinn.

16:21Now you're playing against him a few years later. What's that like for you? You know, Quinn's my guy. He's a great competitor, great quarterback. I think it'll be fun going against him trying to get him running around. Next question comes from Kurt Bulls. Kurt, go ahead. Yeah, tell me. I don't know if there's one thing you can pinpoint why you've been so dominant. I would think maybe it comes back under the physical brand of football. Do you feel that's going to be the survivor in this game who's the more physical team? I would say definitely the most violent team, you know, the team that plays the fastest, executes the most and you know, exceeds their game playing the most is going to win this game. I found a question will come from Stefan from Cleveland.com. Ty Lee, what's kind of your relationship been like with Ty Hamilton, especially as this season's progressed and just how in sync do you feel like you two are playing on

17:24the defensive line together? Me and Ty are, you know, we've been roommates for the past two years. We live in the same apartment complex. We play the game together. It's really like one of my best friends on the team, you know, we talk about a lot of football things. So we're really on the same page with a lot of, you know, plays teams like to run against us. So it could be some stunts we've run. We're always, you know, connected in some kind of way. Jerry, back to you. Great. Thanks. Just a couple more questions. Joy, come up and Columbus this bad. Ty Lee, what does it say about your defensive line and how pride for you guys when you can get eight sacks, 13 tackles for loss, though, having to bring a ton of extra guys and pressure by you. Can do a lot of that. I'll say cool to our coach, Coach Jay. This is a lot of technique and, you know, sometimes it doesn't show up because, you know, team scheme you different ways. But when you have a team one dimensional, like they have to pass the ball, that's when all the, you know, the passwords technique and stuff. CalSheezone CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalSheez lose money.

18:28So 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, their dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalSheez lose money, lose money, lose money, lose That's CalSheez in their own CEOs words. Go to www.fairpredics.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 urgentcarekit.com slash blue. Urgentcarekit.com slash blue. CalSheezone CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalSheez lose money.

19:29So 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 CalSheez lose money. lose money. lose money. That's CalSheez in their own CEOs words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. It comes out and I think we've gotten Tennessee and Oregon to those situations where they had to pass the ball and you know, just let us rush free. Instead of worrying about the run, if that makes sense. Are you guys just winning those one on one of those past Russian situations to IEAST, somebody's sacks and TFLs? Yeah, I'll say we're definitely winning way more 101s now. And you know, they're not keeping as many guys in the box to block us because they have to, you know, they're trying to come back. So I think it's like I said, it's just cool to sort of offense, you know, creating these big leads and making teams one dimensional.

20:29Before I left, David Bigou is spent WCME. Tylei, we've talked about how better the team has gotten to getting off to fast starts on those sides of the ball. But there has been some scoring late in the first half. Like I said, the scene against Oregon. Has there been renewed emphasis on controlling the middle lane? And how important will that be against Texas? Definitely, you know, that's one of Coach Day's biggest points, you know, controlling the middle eight. You control the middle eight, you like chances are you winning that game goes, you know, skyrockets. So definitely versus Tennessee, Oregon we give up touchdowns, you know, the late and the second half, I mean, first half. But we, you know, we just got to keep our full on the gas. We can't let up like at all because these teams we're playing are great teams. Like Texas is a great team, you know, great offense, great offense in line, great quarterback, great receivers, great running backs. So you know, we just got to just keep executing like we know we can and you see how it plays out. Okay, final question for Tylei here. Tim May, Letterman Rope. Yeah, Tylei, you know, Aaron Donnelly, you used to talk about everybody's hurting at this time of the year.

21:30But when the lights come on and the snap goes, what goes off in a guy like yours, mine, I mean, from the standpoint of making the play, I mean, can you explain that to people? Don't get to play down in the middle of it all. I'll say, you know, like I said, you're right. Everybody has heard around this time, you know, we're 15th week, 14th, you know, deep in the season. You know, you just got to, you just got to show up. That's my mind. So you just got to show up. No matter what I'm going through, I got to make that play. I got to be disruptive, you know, just to help my team out. Because when I'm on my A game, you know, everybody else can, you know, feed off of me or we can feed off of like, you know, JT Jack, Tylei. But I said, you know, Coach, make it always says like, nobody cares. Like it's true. Nobody really cares if you're a hurried parent, you just got to go out there and play and make plays. Just a little bit. Explain the drive you have personally to get to through this next one into the next one. But I know it's one step at a time, but you know, he came back, et cetera, explained

22:31people what's going on in your brain about your motivation. My motivation, you know, we all have our wise, you know, while we're doing things, you know, we have family, you know, family here, our team, our brotherhood. But he's got to, he want to do, you write for your brothers, you know, on this team, you know, we're trying to win the big thing. We're not just, you know, trying to go win two games and lose. We're trying to win the big thing, you know, as long as we stay motivated, stay, you know, humble, don't like, you know, take the rap poison, you know, things like that and just execute and just play our hardest, you know, that will be fine. Thank you very much. Yes. So that's the house of spring, the big old backs who have been healthy? Yes, sir. I feel very healthy. Obviously, coming off a season ending injury last year, I feel really good. I feel better than ever, to be honest, even better than I did before the season last year. So it's been a great spring so far.

23:31How disappointing was it to get hurt? Your office at the great start last year. Yeah, I mean, it was, it was a hard time. I mean, it's definitely not easy going through any injury, especially during the season like that, but, you know, it builds character. I think it's good for me in the long term. Also built death at the time of the season. Oh, for sure. Saw some key pieces coming there and produced at a high level. What do you think, George? George is a stud. Once he gets healthy, he's going to be great. He's working really hard right now and he's going to, he's going to have a great season this year. Personally, how exciting is it for you to be kind of your position now this year? Yeah, it's super exciting. You know, I got a lot better feel for the offense this year. Really good rapport with Hudson and it's been a fun spring so far. So just got to keep, keep carrying that on and see where it takes us. Obviously, when you're sideline, you're not playing how important is it to stay like mentally ready and mentally get those reps so that when you come into the spring, you can improve.

24:31Definitely. I mean, that's all it is really just mentally envisioning the plays, envisioning making the plays and every night, you know, I think about it probably every day. So it was, it was a big part of it for sure. For sure. How have you gotten better? I think just understanding the defenses and understanding where the quarterback wants me at a specific time and, you know, building that trust with him is huge and I think I've been doing a pretty good job of that. How does that relationship with you and Hudson develop in the year two? Yeah, it's developing great. I mean, we have a great friendship off the field. So you know, that helps a lot on the field as well. So we have a great connection, you know, both on and off the field and it only helps. Your brother's coming right? Yeah, yeah. So you'll be here in May. It'll be a lot of fun. It'll be a lot of fun having him up here. What do you need to see a little team on the Saturday? I think just, you know, go out there and play hard, limit the mistakes and at the end of the day it's just being consistent with what we do and playing hard.

25:35So that's why I want to see you for sure. We feel like everyone's worth a pair for this spring game. Oh, for sure. I think we're way ahead of last year and I'm excited to see where it takes us. Anything on Diver or the freshman? Yeah, Drew Biver. Yeah, he's getting healthy now. He's looking great. He looked really healthy today and I'm super excited to play with him. He's a lot of fun to play with. Just how quick is this turnaround? You guys just started practicing a couple of weeks ago and now you have a spring game to get to. It's pretty quick, but you know, I like it. I like it a lot. So it's fun to get out there and play, you know, 11-V-11. Put the ball down and go. I mean, that's the goal. That's the goal every day. You know, that's what I'm reaching for. And whether I get it or not, who knows, but that's what I'm reaching for every day. There'd be a leader like how he is. I mean, he's just unbelievable leader and we all lean on him. He runs his whole team and he knows that. We'll go as far as he goes. Jeremy Birmingham, the podcast.

26:35We talked a little bit last week, just kind of you being the becoming one of the emotional leaders of the team. And I just, as you've ever walking off the field at halftime upon Wednesday, I have to be down there by the locker room. I was the only person to take photos of you guys down there. Which is weird. But everyone looks super nice. We were up 34 and 8. And it looked like you got down by 26 points. Did you feel something different about the focus at that point in this team? Or is it just a bit of modernism of what's going on right now? It's just, it seemed different. I just think the job wasn't done. We, we had nothing to be excited about at the moment. You know, we were excited during the game. We were making a plays, but at that time, at halftime, you go back to zero, zero. They scored. They scored a thin and a half. We knew they got the ball back. The defense wasn't quite happy that they gave up that touchdown at the end. And we knew they get in the ball back coming out, but we was excited because we knew the job wasn't done yet. Bill Rebellion, Columbus, this back.

27:37You were a five star guy. And that coming up. All these guys in the room almost were five star guys. And then there's Jeremiah. Is he like, does he like all you guys in the room? I mean, I'm not sure. It's probably something you got to ask him, but you know, Jeremiah has played with a lot of great guys throughout his career. He's seen a lot of all the talent you can see in the world. But I don't know if he's ever in all, but I mean, you and all of you. Oh, and I, oh, yeah. I mean, I'm not surprised at anything he does now. Like I've seen him. We were nine years old. So anything he does, anyone hand-kidged, I've seen, I'm not surprised at anything he does. When he was nine, did you know this is not a, this is something special we've been at, maybe at nine? Oh, yeah. I mean, coaches were coming up to us complaining that we were nine years old. Like, can we get their IDs and stuff like that? So I mean, I mean, there's definitely some footage that we got to go find, but the place we used to make when we were younger is just to see where he is now.

28:41It's amazing. It seems very unaffected by all of the starter. Yeah. How does that happen? I think how he was raised. He's very level-headed. He knows his goals and what he wants to get done in life. And this is just one step of the way for him. Can I throw a back to Texas for a couple of questions on Zoom, Scotty? Yes, sir. We're going to start with Defond from Cleveland.com. Go ahead. Brandon, I want to go back to what you were talking about with Coach Day earlier. You know, whenever he talks about this team success, he says, all the credit goes through players. It seems like the players think that he deserves some of the credit. How big, how influential is he been during the turnaround you guys have had these last few weeks? He's been a huge man. Coming here after that team of Northwest, you know, it was heartbreaking, of course. But we came in here. We had a leadership meeting and he was in here. I mean, and then we had a team meeting after that. Hearing the stuff he had to say, and we had to say, going back and forth,

29:43we just, we knew we would have his back no matter what. I mean, there's a lot of stuff set about him and his family and stuff like that. But in here, we're a brotherhood and we're a family. And we just, we go stand by him no matter what. Our next question is going to come from Dan. Hope Dan go ahead. Brandon, I mean, I'm sure you came in here to Ohio State thinking you'd probably be starting here in your second year. But it seems like you really embraced the growth process. Just what's kind of that process been like for you of kind of embracing your role this season and continuing to develop? Yeah. In life, things doesn't go the way you exactly planted, too. And that just did happen. You know, things happened to Mecca last year that allowed him to come back. And that allowed me to learn more. And that's just how it makes me a better football player for the future. So yeah, I mean, yeah, let's see that. Three more on Zoom. Next one is going to come from Stephen Means.

30:49Go ahead. Stephen, but that's dark. Yeah, you're good. But Brandon, there are a lot of clips of you this year where you're super, super excited after a block. And kind of showing your emotion there. What about blocking do you love so much as a receiver? Just being able to hit another guy with all my power, the hardest I can without any, any consequences. Except if you hold, of course, but yeah, just bringing that power. I mean, I heard some of the defensive guys telling me yesterday they were like, bro, I hate to go against you. So knowing that from the defensive guys. So I know what the other defensive guys are thinking like, just keep bringing it to them. They're not going to like it for four quarters. That's my mindset. Next question is going to come from Danny Davis. Danny, go ahead. Brandon, what are your impressions of these Texas defensive backs and this kind of we've seen from them on film, so far?

31:50Yeah, the last couple of days we watched them, they're fast team. They don't give up many big plays down field. They're aggressive, but I actually know some of the DBs they have at corner there. I play with them. Well, I played with Mollie Muhammad at SFE. So I might know him a little bit. But yeah, but watching them, they're fast team, they're physical, they're disciplined, but we just got to get the job. Give any Malik stories or any any. What do you say? Give any Malik stories or anything you remember about playing with them? Yeah, but I'm not going to say them here. Yeah, we'll just keep that. Our final question is going to come from Kurt Bowles. Kurt, go ahead. Hey, Brandon, one of the issues Texas has had the second half of the year is finishing. And what if you can speak to, and they had a trouble obviously in the peach bowl, you know, blue with 16 point league.

32:53Can you talk about finishing and having a killer instinct and you guys obviously seem to have that now? Yeah, I think that started in the offseason training at Fall Camp. I'd say go plus two. If you're doing a 10 yard pro shuttle, you have to go plus two throughout the line. And that's just finishing as well. And then Fall Camp, we had these long two and a half hour practices or whatnot. And then we came out and we had to do these finishers. We called them Asperg Games, late in the year like this. And I think Coach Day did a great job preparing all of us for these moments. And yeah, we just were ready to go. We have time for just a couple more questions and clumpets so we can wrap up with our other two guys. Bill Landis, Kings of the North. Brandon, try to be on the second touchdown run. It seemed like you took two players out of the play first with your release and then with the guy you actually blocked. Is that how it's designed? Or was it just lucky to get the guy decided to take off the side of the release?

33:55It's actually designed for me to block the safety and lead the corner 101 with the running back. But I was surprised. The corner I see came in so far in my release. I think he thought it was a pass. But I think he was the edge of the defense. If you go watch that play, but I don't know why he came in so far. But it helped out for us and I made my block interior score. Is there any lesson there for like a young receiver watching that that even if you know in the play, you're not getting the ball. You're intended to block, but you release has to be at all point as if you're going to go pitch pass. Yeah, definitely. Every little detail matters and then type of plays. We were in a red zone there. So we say every yard matters two yards. So the block I made is just a testament to Kyle. Coach Hardline, prep me throughout the week to make that block. And final question. Joy Coffin, Columbus this patch. Brandon Will and then there's been some of the ball to eat well lately. Some of especially the way you guys have opened games. What do you think is this hook for you guys and for him and watching those plays?

35:00A lot more confidence. I say throughout the year. We were always there as offense. We had we didn't know we didn't quite know our identity. And now slowly but surely I think we found that and we're going to keep on rolling. He's made some great throws and yeah. I'm sorry, Brandon. I do have one more steep. How many more seven sports? Brandon, there've been opportunities for you to play a huge role on offense. And you know the number of plays you play in game can differ from one week to the next. But the opportunity is coming sooner rather than later for you to be in every down player. Just one of the things you need to do in your game to take it to where it is now to be in every down guy. I think there's a lot of things I could work on in my game. I would say continuing to be football smart by IQ. Just knowing what the defense is going to do before they do it. My routes always can get better. My hands always can get better staying on the jugging machine.

36:00Work ethic. Keep on top of it. Don't get satisfied with anything I do. And don't get too big. Don't get too low. Don't get too high. Don't get too low. That's what they say. You feel like a guy that the people follow it seems like just in your mind. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money.

Even the second year guide that you're kind of working toward being kind of a leadership type guide. I got to have guys that will take that role. Yeah, it's a great feeling, of course. No guys are watching what you do and listening to what you do. But I just feel like we do that with a lot of players here and not just myself. But the leadership we have on this team is like no other. And that's why we got so far, I think. Brandon, thank you very much. Trivia, what's it to you about your awesome building? It's going to get to this season. You and you with your step ups there. And it's going to be a great season. They can happen really soon. How much do you have to learn right now? Is it seem like it's a big big glove?

39:05I mean, I guess you just got to learn everything slowly. Of course, there's a lot to learn. But I got a lot of hope. You guys had a very unique experience all the early and early easy got a chance to go to. Said my final. Some of you went to the Rose Bowl. There's nothing caught in a little national championship game. How much do you think that helped you? That was a pretty good. We just see how other leaders led in that position and just seeing what they did and how they prepared. I just don't help a lot with everybody. What was the highlight of that time? Other than winning the national championship. Was there something that stands out to you? Just being able to travel and get to meet up. Everybody, meet all the players. Everybody I won an ad and meet all early and early. Is that early? It's been a difficult part of making the transition from rising to low. What has been the hardest part? I was really just living my own. I got to be independent. That's pretty much it. Do you feel comfortable with that? Are you still trying to, you know, try to get to the South as well as you kind of do? Of course there's adjustment, but I'm getting it just for you.

40:11Yes, your money is a heavy thing. You have been through a very big thing. It's hard to hold a good standard here. I mean of course it's hard to miss a senior year. I was last year kind of with some of my best friends. What did you do to you? I think you did my skin right? It was an empty real, really. Yeah. Sorry, this is yesterday, sorry, but how did you get your... What did you serve in football? Oh, really? This is how the baby was back. I got my master opponent. You really? I was like, I always... Like, my self. Like once I was born in February. Why did you invite a day pick that? My dad looked up to me and I'm a junior so I was working again. I think you should hear for the same thing in the heart right? Yeah. Okay, so you could wear eight too. You got two choices. I think I could. I think I could.

41:13It's a desire that can be addicted for people. I think I fell into that no way younger age but super class. That's not who I am. Did you say it again? I watched the lab last time I started a land band on the planet down low. It's a pressure. What do you think of it? I don't know that. His wife seems to be on the fly pole. I don't know how he handles it. It's a good show. The other team seems to be coming on the camera. We're all going to the right side. I'm excited to see how it goes. What did you think of it, Jerry? I thought you did a good job. I was surprised. Honestly, you seemed like you knew what he was doing. You're curious. It's a very important question. You say you hit your mom in the salad? You guess we did all. If mom get a pay raise or... I don't know what to talk about that.

42:14Is there a meeting or something? The kitchen? Everybody should have a meeting or something. Everybody should have a meeting. I don't know. I don't like to talk about that. I don't like to talk about that. I don't like to talk about that. I don't like to talk about that. I'm not the new. And I'm the new people. That's my final round. Yeah, well, I mean, first off, I think I'd be doing this service to my teammates. You know, me even think about what's next. What's right in front of us is an overview. And that's another thing I got to tell me so much through is just being present in every moment that I'm in. You know, not looking too far ahead because I'm tripping on what's right in front of me. So, again, that's too so, I'm just looking forward to seeing you. Thank you for meeting me. What's next? You're at least aware that there's a lot of speculation out there that people are going to throw a huge number of things to go in the portal. I mean, right now I'm just not worried about all that stuff.

43:17I mean, people can say all they want to say, but I'm just focused on the focus on Friday. I mean, I still get nervous for sure, but I just don't think. I think I do a good job just understanding that at that moment, whatever moment it is that I'm nervous about, it doesn't define who I am as a person and it doesn't define who I am and God's eyes. Understanding and knowing that has just kind of put this force field of peace around me that I think it allows me to be able to be calm in certain situations, but it doesn't. That's not good. I mean, I just love the game so much. And if you don't get nervous or a little bit of worry about this, I don't think you have that same love. I've got butterflies since going into football games since I was five or six years old.

44:19I don't know what that means. I didn't know. Football just doesn't mean as much as it did to me back then. I want it to always be. That way. Not even where you also go. I've been told, but I think so. I was going to let you last night play the game. It's going to be a hard stay again. I'm really playing as much. I just wanted to get more experience under my belt. I can bring younger guys with me because I've been through a lot of it. One of those younger guys, we're seeing it on the first time. It's hurt all those last years. What have you seen from Lowe? I should have read all the rout about him because he was hurt. Now he's running almost a second man up behind you and Ty. What have you seen from Lowe? He's going to stay quiet. He's going to work hard. That's what I love about him. He focuses. He doesn't really talk much. He's going to get the job done. Do a job right.

45:19Rarely has any mistakes. What would be a successful season? A national championship? 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. That mindset is different. It seems like you guys expect a national championship every year. This year, even more so, you guys have all come back for this. You guys have all decided that nothing is going to happen. Does that keep you feeling different? Or is there not really any difference? It's just the same for us. It's definitely a difference. Everyone working harder. We noticed our last run. Most of us don't have any years after this. We got to go bigger and go home and we're not trying to go home. Finish big. We know what you guys think of Michigan. When you look at what they did, they won the national championship. You guys took them down to the final minute. You know what I mean? 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? You guys won a international championship.

46:20You played to the 59th minute with the team that won the national championship last year. You're that close. I'm saying we just work harder. That's kind of coach makes a saying. Nobody cares. It's just work harder. Like those won't play Georgia. It's the same thing. Last play. They went on the win in 90s. We just got to get over that hump at the end of the season. I think we'll be fine. How frustrating is that? You're that close against the last two national titles. Of course it's frustrating. But you can't change the outcome. You can't really dwell on it. You just got to come back and work harder. Do things better than you did last year. And hopefully the outcome will change. Is that as you get older you kind of learn? I thought that was working hard. Did you always find out there's a little more? You could have been doing it. Yeah, definitely. I mean that's how that's what growing up is basically in college. 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. The statement is a 16th.

47:20What do you need it to be to be your best? It's like it is at 75. 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. Get in shape. It's been a thing. The idea of the potential is 16th and 17th. I think. I think. I think I definitely can last. I was just. You know, we got to get the young guys to come along with it. We can't play for the snaps of the game. That's just too much on our bodies. Just. Everybody like online. DeLine. 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. Speaking of that. Like plan that. You snap. Last year. I don't know. Any of us were really expected.

48:21Yeah, I did. Unless we were like winning by like a lot. I thought like there are no moments you know I can go sit down or something. But we're playing them big games like you know, Notre Dame too. And 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 Tade McDonald? Is he got the key? You guys look second. 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 growing right now. He has a work ethic. He just has to get you know in the playbook and things like that. You guys are about the exact same size. Listen, you're both listening to six three, you're three 27. He's three 26. Yeah, 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 getting to play. So really a lot on you older guys. There's that large group of young guys and then there's these 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.

49:21Like I said, we got to have them play this year. We can't just play on the snaps. They got to get in there and get some work. And we got to get them right, learn all season so they can play. And not just play, they want to like contribute, like make plays tackles sex. It's a little bit special. It seems like these guys get big. Each one of the freshmen class is looking bigger and bigger. Do you know this guy's kind of while you're in the cell in the first? Yeah, they're definitely some big dudes. And they all work hard. I haven't really seen much of some of the day too. I'm not a bad one, but throughout the workouts, they've been working hard. You know, they're determined. I have to say that. And it looks like they're ready to work with me. I'm going to support this, though. It feels like there's a lot of great defenses that you have big, athletic defensive tackles who can eat up space, but also move, you know, right? It is that. Is that an inquire that maybe through great defense? To have guys like you that have some fault, but also have great feet. I think that is definitely I think if you look at the last couple of national championship winners,

50:25like see my North, they didn't know they got two good, uh, detackle two athletic detackles. Look at Georgia two athletic detackles. I think that's definitely need if you want to go on that big run and beat those big teams. If you think about that, they won't defied by the defense attack. It's like, what's Georgia? It's Jordan Davis and Janet Carter. Let's miss again. It's Chris Jenkins. Tell us more questions. What is how? I mean, you understand it because you play it, but I feel like some time I don't know. Are people realizing how important defense tackles are? A little bit more than they used to? I think so. I think they're starting to develop to develop more and more of these like freakiest detackles. Yeah. Like in the combine, just now you see in like those guys, they're moving forward to four, seven, eights and things like that. We'll see. And when you think about those freakiest attackles, how do you think you fit into that mold of that kind of player? Do 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 get a big head, but you know,

51:25watch it come on. I watch it do the drills. I have tape here. You're like, you're looking like my film. So I think I'm up there with all those times. Do you become like a artist who comes to the bad dumb passes? I think your legs have your things. I mean, when you're going to bring practice, you're not doing as much a level of a level of that stuff. How do you work on that? Do you have like a goal in mind? I don't remember how many you had last year, but like, you have a goal in mind? How many do you want to have? I mean, as many as I can have, I think I have more than that, but I think they're counting. I think they're counting some of them. And it's some of them where I like just missed it. But I think we work on drills matching the hand. And I think that goes big. And what we do is a D line, you know, just affecting the quarterback 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 let's something that you really, really have to work on. You can do that. What happens? It's a theory that's one of the things that you've maybe worked on the most.

52:25It's a clear time here because there are a few guys that I've seen. Like, oh, that pass through the bad dumb. We don't have to ask this, Tyler. We're kind of kind of expected. 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 I load up. I just try to get in his ways. And sometimes he throws it to me. On your stage, if you like to be a high state quarterback, you can get back down passes. I mean, they get frustrated, but you know, we're a team, you know, we're just getting back. Yeah, a lot of, a lot of different backs, man, they just learn and grow for them. If you want to pick your top three backs, you have to go right now. One, two, three. I don't really have a top three, but I'll give you one. I would say, say, Juan Gibbs and I like McCaffrey. Although he was injured this year. I like McCaffrey. Who's the best back in this draft? Best back in this draft. I'll lead that up. That's y'all decision.

53:26Playing with Will Howard. What I'm going to remember most. We're a Howard, man. He's just 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. What do you think of James P. Bishop? Yeah, he's shoot. He's going to be really good, man. He's on Coach Locke. I think he got the transfer in as well from West Virginia. Just that one, two punch with them both as well. They're going to be really good backs. And so James P. Bishop is, man, he's smart. The way that he goes about his business, man, he's mature. And so, man, he's growing, you know, just as a person and as a player. And so, man, yeah, definitely Ohio State. You know, that running back room is in great hands. I was right. I'm looking at some U.S. spotting. But I'm just helping me with the personality and the approach of the federal defense. Yeah, Coach Hartline, man, he's full of energy, man.

54:28And he's creative as well, you know, I'm just learning from him as well, you know, trying to run more outside the backfield. It was being able to learn from Coach Hartline. 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. What's your intensity, man? Just intensity, man. And since he got the playoffs, every game, man, it's like the intensity got, you know, higher and higher. And so, you know, being able, I know in the lead, it's the same thing, even if it's not the playoffs, just every game and the 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. And just like Ohio State, you know, I definitely feel like Ohio State. They definitely do a good job of preparing us for that. You know, I just remember even before going through this process, I'll talk to a lot of players before then. And they told me a lot of just about how much Ohio State prepared them, you know, for the NFL. And so, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know I took a couple of days off after the national championship.

55:37And then, shoot, right after that, I'm writing sample Florida and I'm right to it. And so, yeah, I think while I trained, I trained that, on your performance. I think it's called the House of Athlete or the Compound now. They did a good job, man. They're just bringing us in and the way they went about training us, man. They did a really good job. I mean, that's what you did? The Bucking Nears. No, I haven't. Do you think it's a city Tampa? Tampa. Tampa, Tampa, nice. It's a nice city, man. Really nice. It's a city. The 40 to broad and avert. The 40 to broad and avert. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, man. It's really all about technique. And then, it's about mindset as well. And so, I say, you know, it's for the love of my brother. It's for the love of Will Howard. It's for the love of the receivers who I got on the perimeter. Just making sure, you know, first of all, my quarterback doesn't get sacked.

56:37And I tell Will, I think it was before the first game. I was like, I got your brother. It's, I said, man, I'm not going to let you get hit, you know, and so, I don't know if I don't know if I gave up a sack. I'm not sure that, but I know if I did, I haven't given up too many. And so, man, it's for the love of my brother's, though, man, making sure 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 when you need to? In my game. You can't really work on this, you know, in all season, I feel like it's more so, you know, you got to put the pads on. You got to go through some inside run, you know, maybe. It's really just continuing to run through tackles. And so, that's, I feel like that's one of the areas in my game. You know, I want to continue to get better at it. I feel like I did a good job of that my senior year. And so, I just want to continue to build on that. Yes, I did. Yes, I did. I did meet with New Orleans as well.

57:40I never got that comparison. Actually, I know I have a Camera shoe. Yeah, man, I have a Camera great, great back, man. Just what he does and those 101 matchups, he's dangerous, man. And he's so smooth. He's so smooth as well. I'm not going to lie. He's smooth. Yeah. Inside zone from stack, being able to hit that thing downhill. And I'll say the next one is probably just an option route out of the backfield. You know, a man and man coverage, you're getting on that linebacker. And so. Yeah, I say the man, the biggest thing is the way that he carries himself, man. And the way that man, 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, even shoot it.

58:40I don't know, every good, I think he had a, 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 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. Yeah, I think it's a good game. I think it's a good game. When he worked back on it, what do you stand for? 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. It's just, I'm not having 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 when you're behind the scenes and you're going through things that people don't know about, he gives you that peace and comfort.

59:43You know, even in those moments, man, where it's so hard that 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, You know, for the back of the firm, Peterson Power and Judgment, it's true what it's like. Which aspect could be to those other individuals that you want to follow and from being around power and understanding? 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 Quinshaw mentality, man. 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, stiff arm, and somebody, and she would just gain a 10. And so, You know,

1:00:43I think, Yeah, man, I think it's just like, he's just gifted, man, too, beyond it. He's just gifted. You know, he's, he's a big back. You know, he's strong. And so, 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 Quinshaw. You know, I want to look at his game and it's like, man, where, where can I get better at as well? You know, that's the type of player I am. I'm always looking to get better, man. I'm always looking to grow as a player. Julian Sand. Oh, yeah, he's going to be a great, but he's going to be a great quarterback, man. He's so, so accurate. And so, he's definitely, man, I know Coach Dez is definitely going to get him right. Just, you know, continue to grow as a leader, continue to grow as a player. And so, he's going to be really good for high state. I know just the quarterback position. I feel like, you know, the quarterbacks in the past, they've definitely been vocal. And so, I feel like that's something that they're definitely going to ask Julian Sand as well.

1:01:43It's to be that vocal leader and lead the offense and lead the team. Shoot, man, he has a build like JK Dobbins. And 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. I feel like he's not talked about his none. A lot, but man, his career here, you watch his highlights is great. I remember before I recruit, before I committed here, I remember watching JK Dobbins highlights like every, every one of his years here, like four or five times. And so, man, he was such a great back. And I feel like, you know, when I see JK Dobbins, when I see James people, I see similarities to both of their games, I feel like they play the same. Appreciate you all. Yeah, I'll be going. This...

1:02:58Yeah. Yeah.

1:03:58Yeah. Well, I got coming in last year. I knew it was all just attack every day, really the same way. It's taking advantage, very rough physically. How different are you weight wise, body wise on that from the year ago? 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 belly? You feel like almost a different machine out there.

1:04:58Yeah, like... What does it feel like to be running around out there like you are with more, more back? I just feel like I'm like, like, like more downhill, like stronger, like I'm taking all the bloods better. It's a big move. Is it don't think, 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? Is it going to get ready to just play 30 more snaps? How would you describe how much you're looking forward to it from an 8-stand point? Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I'm ready for it. The text is opener. It's a rematch. But it's not really two different teams compared to the last time you all played and stuff. How is that enhanced this camp for you and this team getting ready for the opener of that magnitude? Yeah, we're the opener like that. We've been emphasizing it a lot. We know we got coming, so we know we got to do it.

1:05:58We've been prepared for it. How are we going to do this probably? I think Riley ready to play right now. He advanced freshmen, like he ended up here in the book. He stood in like he advanced. And his measurements was crazy. He saw like the saw line too. You said you're ready. What was that process like during last season? 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. A different is that feeling this year than last year? Asked the one more time? How different is that responsibility? That you just need more strength and all that?

1:06:58You know you were a homemaker. I feel like 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 is going to be the same thing. It's probably a little bit more. Somebody who's some reason. I was a little too fast. And what word? How's anybody worked for watching? I say, describe my game. I say when you think of me, you would think of like a like a bully, like a silver bullet. I don't really 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 I'm saying that the nickname. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's like. So I'm just like, I'm trying to be a little bit more nutritious style and how it's free.

1:07:58I mean, how does that fit you? And what are you enjoying about? The whole lane in that kind of style. Think of 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'm gonna say that because there's a lot of thinking going on, but it's like, I just like his defense. I like how the pressure deep is I like what you got going on. What was it sad when CJ left the ring? No, I wanted to much sad. I was kind of like happy for him. No, that's what you want. No, no, no, no, that's my dog. So yeah, kind of missing a little bit, but I'm happy for him though. Thank you. Go ahead one last question. Coach Daze talked a lot about the guys who played some last year, but maybe weren't the starters and the hunger for that wasn't maybe your national championship you guys were going to win your own.

1:08:58How much do you feel that is guy who certainly contributed last year, but will be in this bigger role and a one or some of your classmates? Yeah, I do feel like, yeah, I do feel like I did win a natu�sia, but like you said, my role wasn't same as how it's gonna be this year. 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. I've been using you, you know, in that almost safe, you know, stuff. How much is it grown that you can put your finger on? Yeah, I was growing immensely. I mean, Caleb, he makes a lot of checks. Latham makes a lot of checks. I listen to them. Whatever they need, if I need to cover somebody, I'll go cover anybody that they need me to do run support. I'll do run support and it's really what Caleb does, what we do and Latham. 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 and tackling.

1:09:59Did you feel like that was the case before the Oregon game? You're saying what I'm saying? Is it something that's been added? It just, you know, rely on a little bit more. Go ahead. Yeah, it did. I've probably been a Brasca game, Megan and more safety reps. And we had a five week to prepare. So I really learned to play book a lot more. Even though I knew the playbook, I learned a lot more. Mounting like in debt, you know, so really just after the Oregon game, it helped me a lot to go back to safety. Go go to NICU everywhere. You guys had a lot of issues of giving up big plays in the passing game of the first game against Oregon. What do you feel if you guys need to be better this time around to make sure that doesn't happen? Just the same same mindset. We got to challenge these receivers. You know, every dog has their day. Maybe some people didn't have their day that game, but we'll look out there and hopefully change the narrative. And we still play with the same confidence, same technique and, yeah.

1:10:59CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. Those money. Those money. Those money. That's CalShe in their own CEO's 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 urgentcarekit.com slash blue. Urgentcarekit.com slash blue.

And Denzel obviously had a tough game in 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. His preparation has been very good. He's always been preparing, even though 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 Indianapolis.

1:13:03But the fact that you get to play them at 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? We're super, super determined. We watched film. I mean, we've lost a lot of film. The first time we played 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 zoom question here from Joey Kaufman. Columbus, this batch. Oh, my bad. Not you, Joey. Cameron T. Robinson, the athletic. Hey, Jordan, 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 Walt or Coach Mills comes to you and asks you to do some else? And 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 season?

1:14:08It means a lot. We always talk about what this is being on selfish, 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. 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. And anybody else needs a question? Let me know. But otherwise we're going to 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 yourself? Seven games ago, even if you've changed or the ensuing six games for Oregon? Which one do you put more stock in? Kind of both. For me, I kind of watched what I did. Things I did well. Things I didn't do too well against them. And their team is changing, their scheme has changed. Some players have been out those stretch of games.

1:15:09So I really watched the past game we played. And I know they're going to 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. I really plan as much. So I just wanted to get more experience under my belt. So I can bring younger guys with me because I've been through a lot of these. One of those younger guys, we're seeing it out here. It's the first time I scored all of their last years. What have you seen from Will? I kind of felt like last year we all forgot about him because he was hurt. Now he's running almost a second man out behind you and Ty. What have you seen from that? Will is a workhorse. He goes, stay quiet. He's going to 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. He rarely has any mistakes. What would be a successful season? A national championship? A ring? When all the games we don't want to lose anything.

1:16:11We got a mindset that we can't be beat. And we just got to go show it. That mindset different. It seems like you guys expect a national championship every year. This year even more so. You guys have all come back for this. You guys have all decided like that. That was a lot. Is that the case? You can feel the difference or is there not really any difference? It's just the same. It's definitely a difference. Everyone working harder. We noticed our last run. Most of us don't have any years after this. So we got to go bigger, go home and we're not trying to go home. 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 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 won 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.

1:17:11That's kind of coach makes a saying. You know, nobody cares. Work harder. Like those, you know, we'll play 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 titles. 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 can learn. I thought that was working hard. And then 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. I thought, French, me, 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. If the stamina is a 16, then dance. What do you need it to be to be your best? Uh, 85. 80, 85. I mean, I can, it's all on me.

1:18:13I 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. Yeah, the shape. It's been a fact. The idea of potentially the 16 or 17 or 17 years. How do you, how do you say about that idea? Does it make you nervous about can you last that long? You're really worried. You just don't believe it, right? I think I can tell that I'm ready. 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 a game. That's just too much on our bodies. Just everybody's like, oh, line, D line. We got to get those younger guys to play and, you know, get that pieces on the D line and oh, line and everywhere else. So we can last that long. Speaking of the light playing, if you like playing that means after that last year, I don't know if any of us were really expected to be playing that next. Uh, yeah, I did. Unless we were like winning by like a lot. Uh, I thought like there are no moments you know I can go sit down or something. But we're playing them big games like, you know, Notre Dame, too, on those kind of games.

1:19:14Of 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 Kaden McDonald is he got a team of you guys in this second year? Oh, yeah, definitely. KMAC is a KMAC'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 to work at the, he just has to get, you know, in the playbook and things like that. You guys are about the exact same size. Listen, you're both listening to six three. You're three 27. He's three 26. Yeah, he's a kind of look at him like my, my junior, but you know, KMAC, he's going to be a great player. He's got to develop more and getting the playbook. So really a lot on you older guys. There's that large group of young guys and then they just 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 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. They 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, tackle sex.

1:20:17It seems like these guys get things. Each one of the first in the class. Do those guys kind of, there's going to kind of while you're in the cell. Yeah, they're definitely some big dudes. And they all work hard. I've only seen much of some day too. I'm not passing on, but throughout the workouts, they've been working hard. You know, they're determined to. I can say that. And it looks like they're ready to work with me. How important this notes feels like. There's a lot of great defenses that you have big athletic defense attacks who can eat up space. But also move, you know, right? That is that. Is that an inquire that maybe for a great defense to have guys like you that have some balls. But also a great seat. I think that is definitely. I think if you look at the last couple of national championship winners, like team of North, they got two good, two athletic detacles. Look at Georgia. Two athletic detacles. I think that's definitely neat if you want to go on that big run and beat those big teams.

1:21:18If you think about this, they're going to fight by the defense attack. What's Georgia, Jordan Davis and James Carter? What's Michigan? It's Chris Jenkins. Tell us more questions. How do you understand this? 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 there's started to develop more and more of these like freakiest detacles. Yeah. In the combine, just now, you see in like those guys, they're moving four to four seven eights and things like that. And when you think about this freakish attack, how do you think you fit into that ball? 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 the dude do the drills. I have a tape here. You're like, you're looking like my film. So I think I'm up there with all those times. Tyler, can you become like a artist and then come to batting down the passes?

1:22:19Take your legs, kind of your things. When you're going, you're not doing as much a weapon or a weapon. I don't remember how many I've lost. I mean, as many as I can have, I think I have more than that. But I think they've counted. I think they've counted some of them. And it's some of them where I like just missed it. So, but I think we work on drills match in the hand. I think that's goes big. And what we do is a deal on, you know, just affecting the quarter. I guess anyway you can. It's just great for the defense. You know, just that little thing covered 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. You can do that. What have you been doing? It's experienced that's one of the things that you've maybe worked on the most. You've got to continue your time here because there are a few guys that I've seen. Like, oh, that passed me back down. We're seeing things that we don't have to ask for this time. We're kind of kind of expected for the next one. I think I just have like a, like, an eye for the ball kind of.

1:23:19I kind of just look at the quarterback and just, I see him like load up. I just try to get in his way. And sometimes he just throws it to me. I don't know. I'm here at T. Do you want to be a high state quarterback? You're not in your bad, dumb passes. I mean, they get frustrated by, you know, we're a team, you know. We're just getting better. I've got you a lot of different backs, man. They just learn to grow for them. You got to pick your top three backs. You got to go right now. One, two. I don't really have a top three, but I'll give you, I'll give you one. I would say, say, Juan Gibbs and I like McCaffrey. Although he was injured this year, I like McCaffrey. Who's the best back in this draft? Best back in this draft. I lead out of the yard. That's y'all decision. Playing well with Howard. What I'm going to remember most. We're a Howard man. He's just such a great leader. Such a great leader, man.

1:24:19It'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 going to remember about him. Yeah, he's shoot. He's going to be really good, man. He's on 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 going to be really good backs. And so James people's man. He's smart. The way that he goes about his business, man. He's mature. And so man, he's growing, you know, just as a person and as a player. And so man, yeah, definitely Ohio State, you know, that running back room is in great hands. Yeah. Coach, Coach Hartline, 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. It was being able to learn from Coach Hartline. I'm just learning from him. I'm just learning from him as well. I'm trying to run more outside the backfield. It was being able to learn from Coach Hartline. And so he's definitely creative at what he does.

1:25:20And he brings a lot of energy to the team as well. And so I think that would do really good. Just the intensity, man. And the intensity of the playoffs. Every game, man. It's like the intensity got, you know, higher and higher. And so, you know, being able, I know in the lead, it's the same thing. Even if it's not the playoffs, just every game and the intensity it keeps getting higher and higher. And so, yeah, you just, I know you got to bring it. You know, each and every day and come in and work just like Ohio State. You know, I definitely feel like Ohio State. They definitely do a good job of preparing us for that. You know, I just remember even before going through this process, I'll talk to a lot of players before that. 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 of days off after the National Championship. And then shoot right after that.

1:26:21I'm writing sample Florida and I'm right to it. And so, yeah, I think while I trained, I trained at Yo-Murth Performance. I think it's called the House of Athlete or the Compound now. They did a good job, man. They're just bringing us in and the way they went about training us, man. They did a really good job. I mean, that would be cool, you know? The Bucking Nears. No, I haven't. We think it's City Tampa. Tampa, Tampa. Nice. It's a nice city, man. Really nice. I think it would be really awesome. The 40, the broad and the vert. You've been on the races and awesome walker. Do you speak to your mentality of like when you've got a linebacker or a dicksack? You're bigger than you and you're getting ready to swear on the walker. Yeah. Yeah, no, man. It's really all about technique and then it's about mindset as well. And so, I say, you know, it's for the love of my brother. It's for the love of Will Howard. It's for the love of the receivers who I got on the perimeter. Just making sure, you know, first of all, my quarterback doesn't get sacked. And I told Will, I think it was before the first game.

1:27:23I was like, I got your brother. It's like, I said, man, I'm not going to let you get hit, you know? And so, I don't know if I gave up a sack. I'm not sure that. But I know if I did, I haven't given up too many. And so, man, it's for the love of my 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. You're going to hit the practice field later today. What is something you've been working on right now when you need to? In my game. You can't really work on this, you know, in all season, I feel like it's more so, you know, you got to put the pads on. You got to go through some inside run, you know, maybe. It's really just continuing to run through tackles. And so, that's, I feel like that's one of the areas in my game. You know, I want to continue to get better, right? I feel like I did a good job of that in my senior year. And so, I just want to continue to build on that. So, you know what I'm saying? Yes, I did. Yes, I did. So, people, you look like now, let's bar out there. You get back in nursing. So, you got to be better than before. I did meet with New Orleans as well. I never got that comparison.

1:28:24Actually, I know I have a Camera shoe. Yeah, man, I have a Camera. Great, great back, man. Just what he does and those 101 matchups, he's dangerous, man. And he's so smooth. He's so smooth as well. I'm not going to lie. He's smooth. Yeah. Inside zone from stack, being able to hit that thing downhill. And I'll say the next one is probably just an option out of the backfield. You know, a man and man coverage. You're getting on that line backer. And so. What he needs to be here in a couple of years, Jeremiah Sinatra. You have the current, of course, who's the best out of it. He's having a pressure. He's always with me. And I'm pretty impressed with him. He's so much attention. Like I said. Yeah, I say the man, the biggest thing is the way that he carries himself, man. And the way that, man, 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, even shoot him. I don't know.

1:29:24Every good, I think he had a, 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 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. I think it's a match to champion. 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, I'm not having 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 that peace and comfort.

1:30:25You know, even in those moments, man, we're so hard that 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... The back of the firm, Peterson Power and Judgement Experience, which aspect do you do those other individuals that you want to model for the game from being around power and... Um, man, those guys have such a great mentality, man. Am I just really loved their mentality, especially Q as well. You know, I talked about Will Howard, his leadership, but Quincham mentality, man. 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, the running through somebody, stiff arm, and somebody, and shoot, it's a game to 10. And so...

1:31:25Yeah, I think... Yeah, man, I think it just like, he's just gifted, man, to be honest. He's just gifted, you know, he's a big back, you know, he's strong, and so, you know, 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 his game and it's like, man, 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. What's your last speech? Julian Sand. Oh, yeah, he's going to be a great, but he's going to be a great quarterback, man. He's so accurate, and so, he's definitely, man, I know Coach Dez is definitely going to get him right. Just, you know, continuing to grow as a leader, continuing to grow as a player. And so, he's going to be really good for a high state. I know just the quarterback position. I feel like, you know, the quarterbacks in the past, they've definitely been vocal. And so, I feel like that's something that they're definitely going to ask Julian Sand as well.

1:32:25It's to be that vocal leader and lead the offense and lead the team. Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks. Shoot, man, he has a build like JK Dobbins. And I kind of see them, you know, similarities 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. A lot, but man, his career here, you watch his highlights is great. I remember before I recruit, before I committed here, I remember watching JK Dobbins highlights like every, every one of his years here, like four or five times. And so, man, he was such a great back. And I feel like, you know, when I see JK Dobbins, when I see James people, I see similarities to both of their games. I feel like they play the same. And so, appreciate you all, you have a good one. This...

1:34:58I feel like I got coming in last round, I knew the role, so I just attacked every day, really the same way. It's taking advantage, very rough. How different are you weight wise, body wise on that from the year ago? I think I got a lot bigger. I'm like 240, you know, like 240, 4 right now. Last year, I played it like 236, 237. What does it feel like at 244 or a belt? You feel like almost a different machine out there. Yeah, 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 more downhill, like stronger. It's taking all blocks better, it's a big move. It's... It's daunting, maybe that's not the correct term.

1:35:59But 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? It's just got to get ready to just play 30 more snaps, so. But are you... How would you describe how much you're looking forward to it from an 8-stand point? I'm looking forward to it. I'm ready for it. My play, I'm ready for it. The text is open, it's a rematch. But it's not really two different teams compared to the ones that I'm going to play and stuff. How has that enhanced this camp for you and this team getting ready for an opener with that magnitude? Yeah, with an opener like that, we've been emphasizing it a lot. We know we got coming, so we know we got to do it. We've been preparing for it. I already just probably worked with it. I think Riley ready to play right now. He advanced freshmen, like he ended up here in the book. He studied in like he advanced. And his measurements was crazy. Like he saw it like that. You said you're ready. You know you're ready.

1:36:59What 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. Whenever I was needed, I had to step up. So I feel like that's what built me into me being able to say I'm ready for this year. When you say ready, is it more a physical thing? Is it a mental thing? When I say ready, I think it's pretty much like everything physically, mentally, mostly. I think I'm there. A different is that feeling this year than last year? That's the most possible. Oh, that's the one more time. How different is that response? It should be that you could just call that. It was last year. He knew you were a role player. I feel like 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 what everything I did. I feel like this year is going to be the same thing. It's probably a little bit more. Somebody you read in the name of the team.

1:38:04And what work? How's anybody worked here? I say, describe my game. I say, when you think of me, you would think of like a bully, like a silver bullet. I don't really have a bully. I'm always on the ball. That's how I like to play a thing. You know what I'm going to body that? No, I ain't got to be my nickname, but. I'm not saying that the nickname could be that sort of thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's it. I was just thinking about the first question. How does that fit you? And what are you enjoying about bullying? I think it fit me because. I just like the defense. I feel like we got, like you said, we got a lot of freedom. We're 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. You could go on your instincts a little bit more, maybe. I don't even know if I say that because there's a lot of thinking going on, but it's like.

1:39:06I just like it's different. I like how it's different. I like what you got going on. What was it sad when CJ left the room? Uh, no, I wanted to much sad. I was kind of like happy for me. Yeah, that's what you want. No, no. That's my dog. I'm going to say yeah. Kind of missing a little bit, but yeah, I'm happy for him. I don't think 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 know when you're out. How much do you feel that is a guy who certainly contributed last year, but will be in this bigger role and a lot of summer year. Yeah, I do feel like, um, yeah, I do feel like I did win a national. But like you said, my role wasn't same as how's going to be this year. So yeah, I definitely want to want to go get another one experienced that like feeling with me be on the field. A lot more place. Great. Well, thank you very much. Thanks for my feed and actually,

1:40:06sometimes like basketball, I want to be on that just like the fed, but you know, I got to stay in the stage playing some balls. Exactly. Yeah, that's a great question. I mean, I feel like these two can enter that for the beer. I know I think KJ and hero can answer that. Well, I don't know what I don't know what to say about that. What do you guys think? I don't know. I go against every day. This man is strong. I'm talking about like you have the basketball here. You sound like you can just do it. You can just say, I know a few of you are kind of really fast. Just the whole way I'm shaking his hand. And he got the grip. He doesn't get up on the play. And like you said, he's going to go in there and watch the film. He's doing everything. He's better than that. He's seen 100 beer man. From like this one. So now that it's not considered a good man. You know, can you just fall on the ground? Or be like, you know, He's something like a coach, man.

1:41:06He's something like a coach. Chip Kelly's influence changed your mind about maybe like the idea of tack over his guard. Because obviously it's offensive predly to us. We're like, yeah, offensive line play. We're in. Has anything. A part of you settled in the guard? That's um, I want to say. Maybe I don't know, but I mean when I'm when I first heard he got the job, I was really excited because I'm one of those guys is. The tempo I can run with the tempo, you know, I mean, 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 for Paul, 65 guys, but can you kick a football 75 years? I think Lincoln. No. Probably Lincoln. Lincoln, what was your question? How is your, uh, your roommate? He's a blessing man. I can't complain. He's a great guy. What's the name? His name's Lincoln. Teen hoes. He's a cleaner. I think we're both really clean.

1:42:07That's why we kind of take each other's roommates because we're very cleaning. We don't like our burns really messy. Well, it's true though. It's the truth. They're both pretty clean. Luke, are you still a cross training in tackle some or if you just been all guard this time? Uh, so far I've been all guard. Um, I really don't know. Like I said, I'm taking it practice. I practice. I could end up being back attack or I could not, but you know, I'm just really focused in on this past practice and the next week. What do you mean? Yeah. Oh, that mean a lot. Um, you know, you put a lot of work in to play here. It's been a dream just for being in Ohio kids. I'm from Ohio kids perspective. It's, I mean, that's the biggest switch possible. I would have thought it would say. That's, that's going to be pretty cool. What was it like to slots here at first game getting on the field for the first time? It didn't, like, this is going to be a weird answer, but it feel like I was playing a game yet. If that makes sense, I hit it. 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.

1:43:08It's time to roll. You know, it didn't really hit me. I was like, it didn't even hit me after. I was like, what would you feel there? And if like, getting out there in Indiana, I just like, honestly, I don't know. I felt less nervous. I didn't high school and I had makes no sense. What is it that you've never seen before? A lot. I mean, I'm learning from Josh Aniston. I think prior to where my biggest role model is here is my bigger brother and my first game. Tell him I'm a PD. No, I'm a PD. Okay. Yeah, no. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, PD and Austin, 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. I'm excited to see where they can get to. I'm excited to plan the field. Oh, yeah, you know, it's been really helpful. You know, just keep in my mind, just settled and straightforward on the next play. What do you think, Biggest? It's a great question. Like I said, I mean, I just need to say consistent in my word.

1:44:09I think that's the biggest thing for me is just thinking, system, and worry about the next play. CalSheezone CEO says it himself. And he has two thirds of people on CalSheezone.

1:46:15So you got it from the guy you were in the place. Yeah. Wow, that's weird. Yeah, I mean, I guess they didn't want to get my nerves up but like I was ready. I mean, I did, I took most of the ones, reps off camp and I mean, I was already, I was pretty much it. Yeah. I wasn't really nervous. It started the game. Yeah. What was his advice to you? Yeah. He said you got it. You mean you're going against Ty League and Ty, every day in practice, I mean, it's not different. Almost different. Are you now both doing 10 to the two starts? End of the game as a player, you know, having that under your belt? I'm more confident. I know what's going on. I can see, like, I can see what's going on with the defense. I know what's going on. I know what's coming. I mean, I understand the game's a lot better than what it was. I don't say last year. Which adds up to what? Fast, start, me, etc. You play with that dust from our line. I mean, if we get out early, it's, you get the defense change in place. It's like, it's changing their defense. You start fast. I mean, they're trying to get the call in the play, but you start fast.

1:47:15I'm not going back. You're going to touch a lot of touchdowns. Yeah, of course, Dave is pretty much dead though. You deserve to play, man. You know, in some form of fashion. What, were you expecting this week in terms of your role? Where they need me? If it's left right. Wherever I need to go in, I go in and go back to do the front of me. I like playing tackle. Took me back to high school days, but I was back in high school. I was really, really random all of what, really into the passes. But it was fun. Change got my feet better, I would say. How confident you feel like you could play there if you need me? If they want me there, I'll guess I'll play there. I mean, they need me, they need me. Also in the illness that swept through the office of the line room. A lot of times the coaches and players have said that that was still relying for the groom. You know, getting you experience among others. What was that like for you and double-dipping playing some tackle, playing some guard, the same practice as that? It was based on a group effort, like for me, we had guys out.

1:48:17We just had to go back practice. All five guys, wherever they were playing, we just got to go. How much of that accelerate your development, like that time with the ones you were actually getting? They really did. I was jumped in there. I didn't really know. So we wanted to practice with practices, but after those, I was like, you're my confidence grew. It seemed like you were sort of a settling in process for you and the Akron game. And then we got better if the game went on. Especially in the ground game, things seemed to take off. Was there a moment when it clicked on the field for you? Was there nerves? And then a time of settling in? I guess how? Taking you through that first game mentally? Yeah. First game, obviously you can have nerves for the first time in a certain way. But then after the first couple of plays, meaning you have nerves naturally. So that's the first couple of plays that I was good. I was just rolling.

1:49:17I was also good at first start. Yeah. But I prepared well and camp and practice all week. And I was ready. I have two multi-year starters. I did a lot. I mean, I couldn't ask them, hey, what we got here. But I was prepared well. I was telling Jimmy and said, it's like a white or a black swan. Probably emotional side of it. What is 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 like me, I just keep going and keep building those days. And go to games and just keep building. What a much younger Austin, do you have people to meet with? No, not really. Even I told them, like, I asked my younger self, even committed here. I wouldn't believe that now having a couple of starts.

1:50:19Yeah. Awesome. Has this happened faster than you had been building? You're going to come here with the players. I guess you're technically a sophomore. You can play as a richer player. No, I knew that year two, I was going to see you some playing time. Now starting week one, year two, I didn't see that. I didn't get spring ball. I was going to play some stuff. What does it mean to you to not only get the opportunities to play, but to like you play well enough now, and coaching staff trust you, and they've been put out there in whatever situation. And to learn that, so where are we on the year two? I guess it shows like my preparation, my hard work, and just everything I put into this, and I just finally show it up on a field. There are moments, the top season, the end of the spring, and you can't just kind of realize that you could play at this high level, with the ones, you know, if you need to. Yeah, definitely was in a training camp.

1:53:22People like it feels like it feels a lot of confidence and doing it well and not like getting involved or anything. There is defensive tag wasn't that I was the guy that used to be the most. Hero in Jason Moore in Taiwan. All those guys. Pretty much anyone on the deepened line gets your face out of time. So, and Kay mag is low. Yeah. I'm a pretty lot of them. I would work like the power of office ability. That would bring some more on. 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. That means another voice and another captain. Looked ways of having that. And I'm with this much experience. Help. 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.

1:54:22And like helps a lot. Tiger 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. Especially me and Kay does our first start. So, like we were up here. What set like he brought us down. I mean, we were like five. Like our emotions weren't high. We settled in. Is that like something he tells you? Is that something you could pick up on by how he's acting? How do you kind of sense what he's trying to do? How he's acting. And what I 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 everyone. Old group. How much do that? As a first time starter, how much did you add in that? Me and 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. And then you can just come on a silent and bring up a play and get help up really.

1:55:26Probably the first or second. But after that, I thought we'd say all right. Awesome. Thank you very much. It seems like training part is a part of the time. They're getting bigger and stronger. It's like the culture part. Yeah. How much of the fact is that in a part of your change? It's also, it's a lot. I mean, I feel like you can't be able to transform your body like I have or like people here come and do that without having that mentality part with it. It's like we always talk about competitions here and 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 what do you do with the weight group? How big is that transformation? 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 the play when I just got here and now.

1:56:32I know how I feel is the play like like like just today like it feels physically different on my body. And it's like it's just it's I'm getting used to it. I can't imagine feeling like that. Hidia also said about you that you are just a completely different guy from last year. You hear the word? Let's get it done. 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 I would say like kind of like confidence issues. Like I was just, but you know, I mean, I work past it and I know I can I know who I am. And I know I can be here. So if you have confidence issues, how do you get through it? Is it yourself? Is it teammates? Is there somebody in the family that makes you believe that you can do it? I know I can do it.

1:57:33It's not like that's those are those are all it's on the past now. Did the past of play time in a very obvious opportunity? I just had the stuff up with the other people that helped you get over that confidence issue there because it's now a neverance of your opportunity. So kind of is just like. 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 realized who I am and I know what I can do now. I mean, I'm not sure if it's wrong, but are you? This is the second type of like adventure. So if the two actually belong here, you can.

1:58:33I 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. What are guys the room to help you to figure that out? 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 a lot. One of those younger guys we're seeing it like it's the first time I've heard all these last years. We've seen from well because I feel like last year we all forgot about it because he's heard. Now he's running you know almost a second man. What did you see? Well, it's a workhorse. He go stay quiet. He go work hard. And that's all I love about him. He focuses. He don't really talk much.

1:59:34He's going to get the job done. Do a job right. Rarely has any mistakes. What would be a successful season? A national championship. When all the games we want to lose anything. We got a mindset that we can't be beat. We just got to go show it. It seems like you guys expect a national championship every year. This year even more so you guys have all come back for this. You guys have all decided like enough is enough. Is it to be feeling different or 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. 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. 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 were right there. Something goes a little different. You guys could have been one that came against them.

2:00:34Does that tell you anything about like that? Hey, you guys want to win a national championship. But you played to the 59th minute with the team that won the national championship last year. Like you're that close. So I'm saying we just like work harder. That's kind of coach makes a saying you know nobody cares. Work harder like those you know won't play Georgia. The same thing. Last 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 title. 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 learn. I thought that was working harder than 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. 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.

2:01:34So 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? Oh, it is a 75 is 80 84. I mean I can this is 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. It's time to get up and it's been a pleasure. The idea of potentially a 16 or 17 or 17. How do you say about that idea that makes you nervous about can you last that long? Do you have worries? 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 for the snaps of the game. That's just too much on our bodies. Just everybody like online D line. We got to get those younger guys to play. Did that pieces on the D line and all on and everywhere else so we can last that long. Speaking of life playing on the snaps. Did you like playing on the snaps of the game last year because I don't know if any of us were really expected to play that next time?

2:02:40Yeah I did unless we were like winning by like a lot. I thought like there are no 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 put that on anyone else when I know I can get the job done. What stands out about Kaden McDonald and the C guy that you guys have listed on the second game? Oh yeah definitely. KMAC is a KMAC 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 to work out there. He just has to get you know in the playbook and things like that. You guys are about the exact same size. Listen 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 KMAC he's going to be a great player. He's got to develop more and get into playbook. 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 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.

2:03:40We 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. Seems like these guys get bigger each in the first minute class because they're not bigger. Do those guys kind of while you're in the first? Yeah they definitely some big dudes and they all work hard. I've only seen much of some of the day too when I'm not as on but throughout the workouts they've been working hard. You know they're determined. It looks like they're ready to work with me. How important this dude feels like. There's a lot of great defense that you have big athletic defense attacks. You could eat up space but also move right to this. Is that an environment maybe for 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 national champions and winners.

2:04:43Like team on North they got two good detacles, two athletic detacles. You look at Georgia two athletic detacles. I think that's definitely neat if you want to go on that big run and beat those big teams. If you think about that they're going to defied by the defense with actors. What's Georgia? Jordan Davis and Jill Carter and let's miss you again. Chris Jenkins. Tell me more questions for you guys. It is funny how I mean you understand this because you play it. 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 more and more of these like freakiest detacles. Yeah. Like in the combine just now you see in like those guys they're moving forward to 478 and things like that. 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. Yeah definitely I think I'm top notch when it comes to detacles but I don't want to you know get a big head but you know watch it come on.

2:05:43I watch it do the drills. I have a tape here you're like looking like my film so I think I'm going to do it all the time. Can you become like an artist who comes and bad down passes the way? I mean you're going to break practice. You're not doing as much a weapon on the left hand. Do you have like a gold one? I don't remember how many you had last trick like you have gold. How many do you want to have? I mean as many as I can have I think I have more than that but I think they'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 drills matching the hand. I think that's goes big and 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.

2:06:43It's really your time here because there are a few guys that I've seen. Oh that passes through that and it takes a bit of time. I think I just have like a eye for the ball kind of. 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's those who tell me. I'm here to do it to the I've stayed quarter back. I mean they get frustrated but you know we're a team you know we're just getting better. I should lot of a lot of different backs man they just learn and grow for them. You got to pick your top three backs and you got to go right now. I don't really have a top three but I'll give you I'll give you one. I would say, say Juan Gibbs and I like McCaffrey auto he was injured this year I like McCaffrey. Best back in this drive I lead out of the yard that's y'all that's y'all decision.

2:07:43Playing well Howard but I'm going to remember most. Where 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. What do you think James people? Yeah he's shoot he's going to be really good man he's on 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 going to be really good backs and so James people is 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 from his in great 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.

2:08:49You 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 got the playoffs every game and it's like the intensity got you know higher and higher and so 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 keeps getting higher and higher. 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. I just remember even before going through this process I'll talk to a lot of players before then and they told me a lot of just about how much Ohio State prepared them you know for the NFL and so yeah.

2:09:49Yeah yeah I know I took a couple days off after the Calhchee zone CEO says it himself. And yes two thirds of people on Calhee 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 Calhee lose money. That's Calhee in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. 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.

2:11:54Nationals Championship and then shoot right after that. I'm writing sample Florida and I'm writing to it. I think while I trained, I trained at your birth performance. I think it's called the House of Athlete or the Compound now. They did a good job, man. They're just bringing us in and the way they went about training us, man. They did a really good job. The Bucking Nears, no I haven't. Temple of Tampa. Tampa nice. It's a nice city, man. Really nice. The 40, the broad and the vert. You've been on the races, it's awesome. It's a great tier of mentality of when you've got a linebacker, so you can do jazz, you can do it when you're in training. It's where you're going. Yeah. It's really all about technique and then it's about mindset as well. I say it's for the love of my brother, it's for the love of Will Howard, it's for the love of the receiver, so I got on the perimeter. Just making sure, first of all, my quarterback doesn't get sacked.

2:12:57I think it was before the first game. I was like, I got your brother. I said, man, I'm not going to let you get hit. I don't know if I gave up a sack. I'm not sure that, but I know if I did, I haven't given up too many. And so, man, it's for the love of my brother's, though, man, making sure 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've been working on right now when you need to? In my game. You can't really work on this, you know, in all season, I feel like. It's more so, you know, you got to put the pads on. You got to go through some inside run, you know, maybe. It's really just continuing to run through tackles. 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 in my senior year. 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.

2:13:59I never got that comparison. Actually, I know I have a Camera shoe. I have a Camera great, great back, man. Just what he does and those 101 matchups, he's dangerous, man. And he's so smooth. He's so smooth as well. I'm not going to lie. He's smooth. So, hit your favorite rocker. Yeah. Yeah. Inside zone from stack. Being able to hit that thing downhill. And I'll say the next one is probably just an option out of the backfield. You 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. And the way that man, 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, even shoot, I don't know, every good, I think he had a, every game was a good game for him, man.

2:15:03And so, but still, man, he always has the mentality to mindset that, you know, he's going to come in each and every day. He's going to continue to work and get better, man. And so he's definitely man. He's going to be a special player, man. He really is. He's not even looking like a dollar in your last game in the air, but we were a lot stuck in. You know, some injuries. I mean, he's a massive champion. When he looked back on it, what, what, what, the stamp down. 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. It's just, I'm not having 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 when you're behind the scenes and you're going through things that people don't know about, 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.

2:16:07It'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... The back goes for Peterson Power and Judgment. Which aspect of each of those other individuals that you run to the bottom of the game from being around power and energy? Um, man, those guys have such a great mentality, man. Am I just really loved their mentality, especially Q as well. You know, I talked about Will Howard, his leadership, but Quenchaw mentality, man. Um, that boy just, yeah, that boy just gifted, you know, you see, you know, sometimes he put in a situation where he looked like, you know, he should have a negative five yards. And as soon as you know it, you know, he, the running through somebody, still farming somebody, and shoot, it's a game to 10. And so... Do some of the things that he does, he just realizes two different things actually. Um, shoot, I think...

2:17:07Yeah, man, I think it's just like, he's just gifted, man, to be honest. He's just gifted, you know, he's a big back, you know, he's strong, and so, um, you know, he's able to do those things. 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 Quenchaw. You know, I want to look at his game and it's like, man, 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. What's your last three hits in the game? Julian Sand. Oh yeah, he's going to be a great, but he's going to be a great quarterback, man. He's so, so accurate. And so, um, he's definitely, man, I know Coach Dez is definitely going to get him right. Just, you know, um, container grow as a leader, container grow as a player. And so he's going to be really good for how I stay. 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 Sand as well. And so I feel like that vocal leader and lead, um, and lead to offense and lead to steam.

2:18:07Thanks, right? Shoot, man, he has, he has a bill 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. I feel like he's not talked about his none. Um, a lot, but man, his career here, you watch his highlights is great. I remember, um, before I recruit, before I committed here, I remember watching JK Dobbins. 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 I appreciate you all. Yeah, I'll be going. This.

2:19:19This. This.

2:20:49The. The. All I got coming in last round, I knew you were all. So I just tacked everything really the same way. It's a very, very roughly physically, how different are you? Weight wise body wise on that. Um, I think I got a lot bigger. I'm like 240. You know, like 240 four right now. Last year I played at like two thirty six to turn seven. What does it feel like at 240 four, or maybe I can feel like an almost different machine after? Yeah. What does it feel like to be running around out there like you are with more More back. I just feel like I'm like like Like more downhill like stronger like I'm taking all blocks better. It's big Is it daunting? 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 What do you have to get straight in your head about being on the field that much more? This is going to get ready to just play 30 more snaps. So

2:21:50Are you how would you describe how much you're looking forward to it from an 8-stand point? Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I'm ready for it. My I'm ready for it. The Texas opener is a rematch and so to say, but it's not really two different teams. Compared to last time y'all played and stuff. 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 emphasizing it a lot. We know we got coming so we know we got to do we've been prepared for it Um, I think Riley ready to play right now. He he advanced freshman like he ended he in the book He studied in like he advanced and his measurements was crazy like he saw like the saw line to Said you're ready What was that process like during last season? 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?

2:22:56Mental 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 Oh, I still want one time Oh I feel like it's uh, it's a way bigger responsibility with me having to step up this year, but I kind of go about it the same way like last year. I was intentional with everything I did I feel like this year it's gonna be the same thing. It's probably a little bit more It won't work I say Scrub my gun 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 and think

2:24:00No, I ain't ain't got to be my nickname, but I 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 moving around a lot A lot of the times 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 thinking going on, but it's like I just like his deep I like how to put it deep because I like what he 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 All right, that's my dog. I go so yeah kind of missing a little bit, but yeah, I'm happy for you

2:25:04Well, 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 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 Your class Um, yeah, I do feel like I did win a nadi 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 experience that like feeling with me Be on the field a lot more place Oh, Bill, thank you very much Unique offense compared to NFL especially with the way he uses receivers. How do you anticipate your role changing it? How do you view the offense from a receiver perspective specifically? Yeah, um, I mean, I think he likes to really push the ball down the field He likes to be balanced. He likes to Give different looks to a difference, you know, we're gonna Not to try to get too much into it, but you know, we're gonna use some motion move some guys around and things of that nature

2:26:06I 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 Unique part about our offense is 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 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 out router. You may have the backside dig like you got to know 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 hits our personnel really well that that field boundary thing Yeah, that's the 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 been Yeah, definitely. I mean, I think if if I'm on the left hash like technically I'm

2:27:06I'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 I'm to the strength of the tight end so I've been in offenses like is similar like that before and 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 I feel like we have a chance to really Run similar stems, but there's different routes off those stems and things like that which I think for receiver like myself who You get you know a really good look at DB's and they study your film they study your splits like having routes 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 hit you again. You're backside. You like that's all you got you know, I mean so um Yeah, he's just been a really good player person to work with and he's been really communicative with the leaders and how we want this offense to look like Some of the ideas that we may have as well. So it's it's been a really cool transition

2:28:11You talk about the transitions you've heard 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 Calhchee's own CEO says it himself And yes two thirds of people on Calhchee 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.

2:30:22That's CalShe in their own CEOs words Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more a Factor and whatever you doing life, but I think I try to make a conscious choice of coming in with a new year mentality each and every year And I think it's easy because we've had so many changes in It's been great working with Marcus and jaden and Jeff and All of everybody like it's it's been great with working with all the quarterbacks and um 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, I mean like you want that Something you could depend on but like life isn't life isn't always like that so um I've been reinvigorated because of just the energy that dq brings into our building each and every day and and the coaches as well like

2:31:24It's fun competing, you know, I mean and sometimes I could get lost in the grind, but um 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 That 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 Um the next day we're going to go right back after the defense so um For myself, I'm just looking forward to continue to grow with the quarterbacks that we have um, I mean year six now, which is extreme blessing and um Leader one of the leaders in our room and I just try to take the bullby the horns with that and so That's really been my focus and Uh, you know, I'm excited for another year to us. It's looked like you're being more vocal on the sidelines Yeah, help young guys. Definitely something you decided this off season or I think that's uh been a part of my maturation process as a leader I've always seen myself as somebody that was a uh

2:32:25A leader by example But From coaches and other teammates. I've had over the years um 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, I 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 Um, because I want to see all these guys win man like it's it's hard to make it in this league and staying a career And so anyway, I could help the receivers the DB's I'm talking to some alignment Johnny who's who's rehabbing his foot, you know what 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 um We need everybody from the rookies to the ten year vets to to make this thing work. So um

2:33:29More so I try to speak to what I what I know and and really those honest conversations that I try to have with guys What they know I'm coming from a good place and I think I'm out of type of guy where I'm just don't want talking at them like if they see something like I could take a coaching point from Luke McAfry I could take a coaching point from day on me from johan 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, I'm good. I'm going back to what you were saying about Cliff and how is he as a teacher in teaching all this? 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 in his coaches our 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

2:34:31Then 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 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 The forces it kind of separates guys in the 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 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 is expected of you and and you know you're going to have the tools given to you to be successful out there on the field And this offseason just the totality of change from front office players coaches the turf field What what does that been like for you just to see what's going on? It's been fun um, you know, I think from

2:35:35Mr. Harris and the entire ownership group down to Adam Peters down to DQ down to jada who we 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 they tried to build this thing going into this year First of having the right people bringing in leaders bringing in guys who love to compete 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 and going at it with the db's every day like the little mundane stuff can seem a little boring But that's I think that was the Were you make the gains during the offseason where you're really focused on I'm hey like I'm a I'm a give all I got for this day And I'm a get better and then I'm a I'm a 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

2:36:39By 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 your your mind and your body and your soul right so Coming into this season. I'm really optimistic. Oh 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 One and Hey, we got Bobby Wagner in there, you know, I mean, I asked a hall of famer 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 Rollward doesn't fall on one person. I think it's 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 know what's expected of you

2:37:39Terry you seem to spend money of your off seasons Learning about things beyond football. How happy is what happy? Did you do anything to this off season? So far it's a Hobbies are increased your knowledge of this the world around It's a good question Play a lot of golf As that they just keeps my competitive juices flowing Planning the wedding that's going well and Man, I've just been grinding like honestly, you know, I mean, I've been hungry this all season like I started working out, you know, pretty early and You start to see guys like coming back and it's just fun to like to be here and compete and feeling 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 his extremely important and to be a part of that to have a hand in that

2:38:40Calhchee's own CEO says it himself And yes, two-thirds of people on Calhchee 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 dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it All that and still and yes, two-thirds of people on Calhchee lose money lose money lose money That's Calhchee in their own CEOs words Go to www.fairpredics.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 dollars with code blue at urgentcare kit.com slash blue urgent care kit.com slash blue

2:39:41Calhchee's own CEO says it himself and yes, two-thirds of people on Calhchee 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 dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it All that and still and yes, two-thirds of people on Calhchee lose money lose money lose money That's Calhchee in their own CEOs words Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more You know, 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 taking 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 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 that his ability in that regard definitely

2:40:44I think after the second or third crosser 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 definitely 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 a man flattened off they like 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's really accountable too 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 but again like that open That open form of communication from a rookie. I think is is 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 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 as big for me, you know

2:41:45I mean I get to track the ball over my shoulder and as 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 our unbelievable during 11 or 11 because he's getting the field pain and Allen and DA and Cleveland Farrow like we got some dogs up there who want to come after them, you know I mean, and we got some great guys up front who are going to protect them And so these reps I feel like are even better than just seven or seven seven or 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 we play real ball now like we we we plan 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 lighthearted 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

2:42:45Where 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 J.A. 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 You'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 um, you know you start to evaluate when you I'm in year six and you know how fast it goes and I try not to put the cart before the horse were looking too far ahead by at 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 the 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

2:43:49It 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 want to help us win games and when you're around environment like that like that that makes you excited makes you hopeful and You know, you don't know how that's going to turn out until we start playing games, but The foundation is extremely important I think this offseason. We've really done a great job of building that they have and then when a coach quen guy here building with this team So I feel like we're going to be going into this offseason really Knowing we all got to do individually to become ready for camp, but the met the message is clear to come back to camp ready to compete and And be ready to win Appreciate you guys You Really playing as much so I just wanted to get like more experience under my belt

2:44:53So I can know bring younger guys with me because I've been One of those younger guys we're seeing it We've seen from well We all forgot about it because he was hurt now he's running You know almost a second man Well as a workhorse he he go stay quiet you go work hard and that's what I love about him Focuses he don't really talk much. He's going to get a job done do a job right really has any mistakes What would be a successful season? A national championship Ring When all the games we don't want to lose anything We got a mindset that we can't be beat and we just gotta go show it Seems like you guys expect a national championship every year this year even more so you guys have all come back for this Definitely a difference everyone working harder. We noticed our last run like we most of us don't have in the years after this

2:45:57So we got to go go bigger going 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 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 carries just work harder like those No one played Georgia is the same thing. Yeah last last play. You know they went on the win in 90 so We just got to get over that hump at them in the season. I think we'll be fine You know it's frustrating but you can't change the outcome you can't really do it on Dwell on it you just gotta you know come back and work harder do things

2:47:00Better than you did last year and hopefully the outcome change 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 Comparative what I'm doing now, so just to learn anything To be your best 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 I think I think we I definitely can last I was just you know we got to get the young guys to come along with us

2:48:01We can't play 50 snaps again. That's just too much on our bodies Just Everybody like online D line we gotta get those younger guys to play you know get that pieces on the D line and O line and Everywhere else so we can last I Yeah, I did unless we were like winning by like a lot I thought like there are no mommy's 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. 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 a job Oh, yeah, definitely came back as 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 Listen you're both listening six three you're three twenty seven. He's three twenty six

2:49:05Yeah, I kind of look at him like my my junior, but you know can't make you gonna be a great player He's got to develop more and getting to play So really a lot on you older guy. There's a large group of young guys and then they see your back as a part of your Task for this year to bring those guys Yeah, definitely we got to be leaders Um, 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 Turned all season so they can play and not just play they want to like contribute like make plays tackles sex Each one first one class Yeah, they're definitely some big dudes um and they all work hard. I've only seen much of something day two You know pass on but throughout the workouts they've been working hard, you know they they're determined And it looks like they're ready to work

2:50:13So You know right to this that is that I'm acquiring maybe for a great defense to have guys like you that have some faults but Also a great thing. I think that is definitely I think if you look at the last Couple of nice and championship winners are like team of Northe. You know they got two good Detackles two athletic detackles look at Georgia two athletic detackles I think that's definitely need if you want to go on that big run and beat those big teams What's George Jordan Davis and Daniel Carter let's Michigan it's Like how I mean You understand it was you play it but I feel like some time it I don't know are people realizing how important defense tackles are a little bit more than they used to I think so I think they're starting to develop to develop more and more of these like freakiest detackles 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

2:51:22Oh, 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 watch it come on. I watch the views through the drills I have tasted you like looking like my film. So I think I'm up there Thanks, I mean you're going You have a I mean as many as I can have I think I have more than that But I think he said it on I think they didn't count some of them and It's some of them where I like just missed it. So but I think we work on Joe's matching the hand I think that's goes big and Will we do as a deal on you know just affecting the quarter Vegas Anyway, you can't is this great for the defense. You know just that little thing covered 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

2:52:28Here because there are a few guys that I've seen 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 like load up. I just try to get in his ways and sometimes he's just throws it to me I Mean they get frustrated by you know we're team. You know we're just getting better That's a lot of a lot of different backsman and just learn and grow for them Uh 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 draft I lead that up the y'all that's y'all decision

2:53:31Playing with 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 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 Coastal like 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 as a person in as a player and so man. Yeah Definitely oh, hi estate, you know that running back room is in gray hands Yeah Coach coach heartline man. He's full of energy man and um he's creative as well

2:54:32You 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 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 Every game and it's like the intensity got you know higher and higher and so um, you know being a bit I know in the lead. It's 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 I'll talk to a lot of players Before then and they told me a lot of just about how much Ohio State prepared them, you know for the NFL and so yeah

2:55:34Yeah Yeah, I know I took a couple days off after the um National Championship and then Shoot right after that. I'm writing writing sample Florida and I'm right to it and so um Yeah, I think while trained I trained that 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 bucket near know I haven't Temple temple, temper nice. This is nice. It's a nice city man. Really nice Uh, the 40 to broad and avert Yeah Uh, it's really all about technique and then it's about mindset 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

2:56:41And 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 brothers. Don't 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 to run through tackles And so that's I feel like that's one of the areas in my game You know, I want to continue to get better. 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 commander

2:57:46Sure, yeah, man. I have a commander great great back man, um, just what he does and those 101 matchups he's dangerous man He's so smooth. He's so smooth as well. I'm not gonna lie he smooth Yeah um Inside zone from stack being able to hit that thing downhill and um, I 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 gonna 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 a every game was a good game for him

2:58:47And 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 is this How you respond to adversity and I feel like that's something that god is definitely helped me to do better Is this um now 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 He gives you he gives you that peace and comfort, you know

2:59:47Even 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 Um 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 Quinchiam mentality man That boy just yeah that boy just gifted, you know You see you know sometime he put in a situation where he looked like you know He should have negative five yards and as soon as you know it, you know, he that running through somebody step on Is somebody and shoot it's a game to 10 it's uh Uh um shoot I think

3:00:51Yeah, 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 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 Quinchiam, you know, I want to look at this game is like man 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 Sand Calhsi's own CEO says it himself And yes, two-thirds of people on Calhsi lose money So what does it take to be in the other third?

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 ask them Julian saying as well. It's to be that vocal leader and lead the and lead the offense and lead the team

3:03:55Shoo 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 is not 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 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 when I see JK Dobbins when I see James people I see similarities to both of their games. I feel like they play the same And so I appreciate you all y'all You

3:05:22You You

3:06:22You Well, I got coming in last round. I knew we're all so I just tacked every day really the same way Things to do in the van very rough physically 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 With more I just feel like I'm like Like more downhill like stronger like I'm taking all bloods better. It's big No You're going to be playing much more than you did even last year and you played quite a bit last year and stuff

3:07:26Would 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 But 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 But it's not really two different teams Compared to the last time y'all played and stuff How's that enhanced this camp for you and this team getting ready for the We're an opener for that magnitude Yeah, we're the opener like that we've been um with the emphasize in their life We know we got coming so we know we gotta do we're prepared for it Um, I think Riley ready to play right now. He's he advanced freshman like he in the he in the book He's studying like he advanced and his measurements crazy like he saw like the saw line to him Or you said you're ready What was that process like during last season? Could you feel yourself Becoming more and more ready

3:08:27So wherever the team needed 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 most of me I think I'm there Oh Oh I feel like it's uh It's a way bigger responsibility with me having to step up this year, but I kind of go about it the same way like last year. I was intentional with everything I did I feel like this year it's gonna be the same thing. It's probably a little bit more It won't work

3:09:30Uh I Skrub my guy 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 and think Like what I'm gonna body that no, I ain't ain't gotta be my nickname, but So I'm saying that the Oh, yeah Oh think it fit me because I don't know I just like the defense. I feel like we got like you said we got a lot of freedom and we moving around a lot A lot of the times 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 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

3:10:34Uh I wanted to much sad. I was kind of like happy for you Yeah, that's what you want No No, that's my dog. I go so yeah kind of missing a little bit, but yeah, I'm happy for you 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 is a guy who certainly contributed last year But will be in this bigger role and along with some of your classmates. Yeah, I do feel like um Yeah, I do feel like I did win a nadi 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 with me be on the field a lot more place Oh, Bill. Thank you very much I kind of have a lot of leaders on the D line at the D in position

3:11:41You know To competitive and we love it. You're all competitive people we all love to push each other And that's really the best side of all We all just kind of bouncing off each other and see what one person does and we kind of better than the archival box And we all kind of just kind of build one great big one The jacks are your floppy So I definitely did it in high school. I was pulled back and a little bit of tidan So I feel like they kind of saw what I could do there and coach Wilson I'm sure you love watching it too before you left and uh Feel like you playing that seed 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. Is that considering now? Oh new playbook I did not know you got that far

3:12:42Um, 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 Weakertu to learn it and kind of perfect it and try to do my best for you. Kid Jack you the same thing. Oh, yeah graphfully that's why Can you just talking to coach Johnson on Tuesday about some of the conversations he sort of saw you and Got out to have some conversations after JT and Jack decided to come back We're going into those Respect to them and how did that help you maybe get the right mindset? Um, definitely kind of seeing it all the way through If you 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 they happen in all that time from here to to this So uh, I feel like we definitely just coached in me kind of connected Maybe you kind of just talks man-o-man and uh, he kind of just said straight to me and I feel like We kind of both are pushing we know we're making it together making each other better every day We got the four best the ends five best the ends honestly and college football and we're gonna be one of the best

3:13:44D-rimes in college football I feel like a better player today at any more of the end of the season Oh, 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 They kind of bring people in and I 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 Did you more time to kind of enjoy it kind of save it because There's a light Yeah, definitely definitely gonna have to have the mental stability to handle all those weeks and all those practice How much is Larry talking guys? Last question right here

3:14:48I mean he doesn't have to talk about it. We know about it. You see it in every day If you watch the film you 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 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 go to bounce off and Just perfect our craft together and I feel like we all are just great individuals and we come together We 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 think You know Uh, well as a workhorse he he goes statewide you know work hard and that's what I love about him Focuses he don't really talk much. He's going to get the job done do a job right really has any mistakes So what would be a successful season?

3:15:50A national championship Ring When all the games we don't want to lose anything We got a mindset that we can't be beat So I Seems like you guys expect a national championship This year even more so you guys have all come back for this It's definitely a difference everyone working harder. Um, 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 Finish big Right You were right there something goes a little different you guys could have been one night 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

3:16:53So 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 is the same thing. Yeah last last play. You know they went on the win in 90 So we just got to get over that hump at the end of the season. I think we'll be fine Of course as 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 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 Oh

3:17:5480 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 Shake I think I think we I definitely get lies 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 O line and everywhere else so we can last that Ah, yeah, I did unless we were like winning by like a lot I thought like there knows mommy's you know I can go sit down or something

3:18:55But we're playing them big games like you know Notre Dame too on 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 Oh, yeah, definitely came back as 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 growing right now. He has to work at the teachers has to get you know in the playbook and things like that You guys are about the exact same size Listen you're both listen six three you're three twenty seven he's three twenty six Yeah, I kind of look at him like my my junior, but you know, came in he's gonna be a great player He's got to develop more and get into playbook So really a lot on you older guys that large group of young guys and then there's the seniors in the back as a part of your task for this year to 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 Third all season so they can play and I just played they want to like contribute like make plays tackles sex

3:20:13Yeah, they're definitely some big dudes um and they all work hard I've only seen much of something day two when I'm not pazz on but throughout the workouts they've been working hard You know, they they're determined And it looks like they're ready to work at me I think that is definitely I think if you look at the last Couple nice and much ambition winners like see my North they didn't know they got too good Detackle two athletic detackers look at Georgia two athletic detackers I think that's definitely need if you want to go on that big run and beat those big teams Like what's Jordan? Jordan Davis and Janet Carter? What's Michigan? It's Chris Jenkins

3:21:19But I feel like some time I don't know are people realizing how important defense tackles are a little bit more than they used to I think so I think they're starting to develop to develop more and more of these like freakiest detackers 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 How do you think you fit into that Old 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 watch it come on I watch it do the drills. I have to see like look at my film. So I think I'm You're going I don't remember

3:22:20I mean as many as I can have I think I have more than that, but I think 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 Joe's matching the hand I think that's goes big and What we do is a D line, you know just affecting the quarter bag is Anywhere you can is 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 players More Here because there are a few guys that I've seen 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, we're team, you know, we're just getting better

3:23:22I should 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 Sae Kwan Gibbs and I Like McCaffrey auto he was injured this year. I like McCaffrey Best back in this drive I lead out of the yard. That's y'all that's y'all decision Playing with 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 shoe He's gonna be really good man. He's um

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 gray hands Yeah 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

3:27:32Trying 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 Um just intensity man then since he got to playoffs 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 Just every every game and intensity it keeps getting higher and higher So yeah, you just I know you got to bring it you know each and every day and come in and work just like Ohio State You know, I definitely feel like Ohio State. They definitely do a good job of preparing us for that You know, I just remember even before going through this process. I'll talk to a lot of players Before then and they told me a lot of just about how much Ohio State prepared them, you know, for the NFL and so yeah Yeah

3:28:32Yeah, I know I took a couple days off after the um National Championship and then Shoot right after that. I'm writing right in sample Florida and I'm right to it and so um Yeah, I think where I 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's 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 near 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 Yeah Yeah, no, man. Uh, it's really all about technique and then it's about mindset 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

3:29:33Just 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 going to 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 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 the offseason. 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

3:30:36Uh, I did meet with um new Orleans as well um, I never got that comparison Actually, um, I know I have a comrade sure. Yeah, man. I have a comrade great great back man Just what he does knows 101 matchups. He's dangerous man, and he's so smooth. He's so smooth as well. I'm not gonna lie he smooth Yeah um Inside zone from stack being able to hit that thing downhill and um, I say the next one is probably Just a 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 gonna work every single week

3:31:37You know every practice, you know, he's working hard. You know, um, even shoot him. 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 You 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 now 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

3:32:37When 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 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 Um Man eight 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 Quinch, I'm a talladee 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 him somebody and she

3:33:38That's a game to 10 and so Yeah 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 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 What's your last 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 dead is definitely going to get him right Just you know, um container grow as a leader container grow as a player and so he's going to be really good for high state Uh He's there. 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

3:34:41Ask Julian San as well. It's to be that vocal leader and lead the um and lead to offensive lead to steam Shoot man, he has he has a bill 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 know um a lot but man his career here you watch his highlights is his 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 You

3:36:09You You

3:37:09You You All I got coming in last round to roll so I just tacked every day really the same way It's a very rare Oh, I think I got a lot bigger. I'm like 240 you know like 240 for right now last year. I played it like 236 to 37 I just feel like I'm like Like Like more downhill like stronger like I'm taking all blocks better. It's bigger

3:38:13You see 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? This is gotta get ready to just play 30 more snaps so Are you are you how would you describe how you how much you're looking forward to it from an Now I'm looking forward to it. I'm ready for it. My I'm ready for it Two different teams Yeah, what an 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 look prepared for it I think rally ready to play right now he He advanced freshman like he in the he in the book. He stood in like he advanced and his measurements crazy like he saw like the saw line too

3:39:16What was that process like during last season could you feel yourself Becoming more and more ready You know, every the team needed 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 Most of me I think I'm there Oh Oh Oh I feel like it's uh It's a way bigger responsibility with me having to step up this year, but I kind of go about it the same way like last year. I was intentional with everything I did I feel like this year it's gonna be the same thing. It's probably a little bit more For somebody

3:40:22It won't work Uh, I say Scrub my game I say like when you think of me you think of like a like a bullet like a silver bullet Like I'm really a bullet I'm always on the ball. That's how I like to play a thing What No, I ain't got to be my nickname, but Oh Um think of fit me because I I don't know I just like the defense. I feel like we got like you said we got a lot of freedom and we moving around a lot A lot of the terms is like 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 thinking going on, but it's like

3:41:24I just like it's deep. I like how it's 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 No All right, that's my dog. I don't see it kind of missing me a little bit, but yeah, I'm happy for you All right, 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 How much do you feel that as a guy who certainly contributed last year, but we'll be in this bigger role and I want to some year Yeah, I do feel like um Yeah, I do feel like I did win a nati last year, but like you said my role wasn't same as how's my beaters year So yeah, I definitely want to go get another one experience that like feeling maybe on the field lot more place Oh, Belle, thank you very much Championship in Nican, you know before and everything like that and

3:42:25Also, you get your your teeth knocked in, you know first game and you know can't have that happened because then you know Related to mean anything and so just the constant mindset to continually get better But on the forefront of my mind and for front of anyone Here you can ask Yeah, yeah, I know we uh we look at the uh the class stats every non-linear and be like oh man. They're gone. They're gone No, it's been um, it's been good. I mean the guys who are still here. I'm as I've definitely kind of bonded together pretty good Yeah Yeah, I mean You know, Mark came in other days like That class went 21 best class ever and my yes, you know, I can't really can't really even you know Sitting to that, you know, not much left, but um 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

3:43:27Um us now realizing where the veterans, you know, like with all guys now in the group has been Kind of strange at least to begin with, you know, because you go from All those guys you like Donnie and Josh and those guys and all of sudden it's Sunday. We have a team meeting after the Like the celebration the shoe and all of a sudden the next day there's gone and you know, it's just very different So I think us being able to step up as you know leaders and as As vets to help bring out, you know along the team our units and This program has been really important Yeah No, it could spend doing really well. I mean I could go as an egos at work He's extremely athletic extremely flexible Um, you know, he's a young kid obviously he's a lot of

3:44:28A 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 foreign Um excited to see what he can do because he's very impressive at this young stage Yeah, extremely excited. I mean Trying to just build that culture back up again. You know like what we had last year I we're trying to do a little stuff here in there and I can know I think we're going to Ray race A barbecue. I think tomorrow. Um, so shout out Ray race but um, but yeah, just trying to get that brotherhood back get that you know that oblock spirit back sure it's coming soon hopefully But just to kind of get those 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

3:45:29Figure out how to you know build that and mend that together. It's been pretty cool now. 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 here? Yeah, for sure. I mean, I think that comes um I don't 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 have to understand that and that's something I want to continue to work on. I want to be able to um Be a guy that people can fall back on and like coach was saying before like we're gonna have highs in those but the great players The ones being set are clocks too and I kind of want that's my goal as to be one of those people that you can do that um 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. They're trying to keep um steady

3:46:30Just your story itself though is Testament Of what it means to like for perseverance is tough too though right car something 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 maybe better on the back end and um You know Coach to it coach 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 it a lot of people can just talk about it Um, but to be about it is important and I think um to be not have 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 he stepped up piggy. Yeah, everyone first of us piggy is his username one time nice everyone's piggy. But anyway, you know pigs been doing great. He uh he's been able to step up and kind of bring around the long those younger guys. You know everyone's kind of trying to figure out their their new roles and I think he's been uh he's been able to step up and kind of bring around the long those younger guys. You know everyone's kind of trying to figure out their their new roles and I think he's been uh He's been doing a lot of things. Big body guy. They can't run between the top. His feet are quicker than once you think for a big guy. They're really good feet. We get balanced so that's what makes them good. That's what I sign. Is that a comment for a bigger back like in the title?

3:50:46I don't know. I don't know. Many with that type of background but he's high school. They try to play as an ace back. But really good. When you look in the portal for running actually try to recruit running back. Does it matter to you if you have two different styles of running back to me. One guy can do certain things better. One guy can do certain things better. He'll just say the best running back. I want to have different styles. I'm going to try to take the same thing. We're going to take the same thing. We're going to take guys with different students. Whether they're big guys, small guys, class coaches, in-between, attacking runners. I don't know. I don't want to take the same thing. We're going to different. Different backs. Will and clinch are going to be a lot of better. I'm sure we're going to red zone this morning for you guys. Is it important to find the back of the match the size of the CK has to help me with it? I have my own opinion on the size of the game. I had Jordan James out of order. He's my grandson.

3:51:54He's a friend of mine. He's a freshman. He probably weighs a 2-10 or 12-5. Which is not very big. But they didn't get any deal with being. Some guys got a nose sticking down his own. He played with a lot of aggression down here running. That could be CJ. That could be James. Or what could be the freshman, though, Jackson? It's just who has a nose for giving his own. That's who I'm going to roll with. You don't have to be 6-2. No, just because you're being. They don't make you pop. We need to get, obviously, you don't freshman running back from it in the bow and it's there here. What do you need to see from a freshman to feel comfortable with that playing? In the first thing, will they own the ball? Will they do their little small detail? I'll take care of the ball. The second thing will be how good they are in the past. Because it's the hardest thing for high school kids. Because they're not in the middle of the year in high school. But you have to understand the past. But all their falls are in the mean.

3:52:54Like Coach Day said, I'm in the mean person in my mind. That's why I need to see first. For everything Jackson, I will understand to you. So I'm going to go get you the ball. Do you feel comfortable with bow and I say, where they're at or where their time is? Yeah, I think they've been fine. I can say I tell all the young guys, he's a marathon out of sport. The first day, the first you've been an earner, a spine on a specialty. You earn a spine on a specialty. Then you earn the right to be a book out of you. So they get that down the field. So I think they're training the right. The first practice, like it was a merit, something to build off of, killing stuff to work on. I've just seen some of the younger guys in the room develop. I think about like Etrick Houston is coming in this year seeing him working with you guys. Joshua would make it and sound like he'd come home.

3:53:55I feel like they're definitely picking up quick. I mean, I was in their shoes one time and I had Zach Harrison, Javonte, and Tyler Friedell 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 the great Russian players. So I think what Joshua's talking about, JT and Jack probably need a ton of their experience. Same as some of the opportunities for me, and a lot of them. Is there a difference in the work going to be getting through Apple Jam for the last couple of years? I feel like all the camps I've definitely gotten a big course for and I love that. So I asked him, 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, I just like to get as many reps as I can. I mean, for me, it's always just kind of getting my little details perfectly, like my steps, my footing, kind of just affecting my toolbox and what we call it and my craft and just trying to be a...

3:54:58It's like whenever you play, it's what it kind of does. 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 still look up to Jack and JT and kind of have my own kind of leadership and be able to bring people into. So I feel like I kind of have a lot of leaders on the D-line and have to be in position so we kind of all kind of just count off the children and hearts. So you're trying to get as many people as you want to, but you need to be as fast as that person. Um, so you're competitive and you love it. So we all competitive people, we all love to fish each other and that's what we're creating the best side of all of this. We all just kind of bounce it off each other and see what one person does and we kind of split it into our toolbox and we all kind of build one great thing. You remember when last year you got to get the shot with full back in the boat and they put you that idea and two coach them.

3:56:06I mean, I didn't get to come back because you're a jack sawyer's lobby. Okay, it gets touched out. So I definitely did it in high school. I was pulled back and a little bit of tidied in. So I feel like it kind of saw what I could do there and coach Wilson. So he loved watching it too before he left and I feel like he planned that seat 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. Is that continuing now? Um, new playbook. I did not know you haven't got that far. Yeah, I have to focus 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 week or two to learn it and kind of perfect it and try to do what I want for you. I'm a kid Jack, you're the same thing. Oh, yeah. What's your athlete? That's what? I was talking to Coach Johnson on Tuesday about some of the conversations and sort of sight you and about how to have some conversations after JT and Jack decided to come back. Just got to wait until those moments. And how did that help you maybe get the right mindset against many of these things?

3:57:08Um, 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 and all that time from here to to then. So I feel like we definitely just coached in me kind of connected and we kind of just talks man on man and uh, be kind of dissent straight to me and I feel like we kind of both are pretty honest and we know we're making it. Yeah, I don't. I'm just going to be there every day and we got the four best DNs, five best DNs, obviously. And then Coach football and we're going to be one of the best DLines and Coach football. How do you feel like a better player today than you were again this year? Um, 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. I mean, I think record in right in the past. So the TGFC is up sale. I mean, it sounds bizarre, but I mean season goes by so fast already.

3:58:10So when you're kind of like week 10 and you're like, wow, it's already weekend. So now it's kind of getting more time to kind of enjoy it and kind of savor it because we're already here for like, refreshments, freshness, freshness, crazy. But you don't want to spit on your powder for the first month of the year right? Oh, yeah. There is that, not pace yourself that. There is a mindset that I did in 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 a bit? Last question right here. The TGFC 2017 4 NFL 2.5 seconds on sale in the TGFC. How much does he talk to that guy? I mean, he doesn't have to talk about it. We know about it. We've seen it every day. We watch the film. We see them all working together. We know what it could be. We know we could become. So we know we're right at the same, we're at the right place at the right time and God wanted us to be here and he knew we wanted us to be here. 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 we come together at some discussion. How did your expectations like us meet up with how do you feel when you play at this point in the past?

3:59:14I feel like I've made the plays that came to me and that's where the Akinagan control. I've had more opportunities as he has 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 find a way to push the team to win games at high level. And to be better than they were last year 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 all I can say about that. Okay, so the right thing that may cut a middle. Yeah, I'm like, okay, I'll just stand here right now. Does it feel like a different season? What does it feel like for you going into the playoffs? You know, you'll get to go and you want it necessarily to make your chase but here you are. What is that sense that you have right now that's different from the regular season?

4:00:17I mean, everybody wants to say it's a new season in terms of, because if everybody's 0-0 right now, when you keep going, you lose your time. But genuinely, that's how you play every game. You know, they play every game when I get your last game. So for me, I don't think it's really any difference to be able to go play at a high level every game that can't be based upon. It's a player game. You know, so you 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 this day. What feels difficult is defense right now going into this. You know, you'll feel even more, you know, not by the side of the week close together. What is it? I mean, what is your sense of the further it's so to speak of the defense? I feel like we progressed throughout this season. We did make a change after game 6, because we lost and we didn't play well at the game. And I feel like we've grown from that and had to a better place.

4:01:17And over these past two weeks, off just realizing, okay, these are the things that we've 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 we've seen, what can do better for this kind of game and for the next couple of years. Last couple of questions. Tony, you heard me fuck a hell. How does the Tennessee's wide split with your receivers impact you as a country? I feel like it makes the game more or more one game. I make your receivers on your DB set the place at the 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 their job. You got to be able to stop the run with the people they've had in the run fit. And you have to be able to stop the path 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 finally, question. Joy Kaplan, let's just ask you. The coach knows the time of the speed at which you guys are going to call in the lanes.

4:02:18Is this built for test builders or the power plants? Is it going to play Kaplan? Is it going to play with kind of answers that get to you just speed with the speed of the speed at Kaplan? All right. It allows you to get your clean senator. So earlier, just a ability to see the formation, 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 games are really a big thing. So whenever you can get the call out faster and play at a high level and play without thought, that's a really good thing for you team. Get a look, thank you very much. Appreciate you all. Did you hear the checks on your slot being? Oh yeah. You didn't touch that. So I definitely didn't in high school. I was pulled back and a little bit of tidied in. So I feel like they kind of saw what I could do there in Coach Wilson. Obviously, he left Washington to Forty-Left. And I feel like he planned that seed in Coach Day's head and Coach Day kind of just went for it and tried to do the best I could to do it. Is that the chin wing now? Do you need anything to scream about?

4:03:18New play, but I did not know yet. I haven't got that far. How tough was that to you? Do you want to be a look at back up? I like to think myself as a football player. I can really play any position on the field you need me to. Just give me a weaker two to learn it and kind of perfect it and try to do my best for you. Can you check the same thing? Oh yeah. What about what? Graphically, that's what... Kings is talking to Coach Johnson on Tuesday about some of the conversations and the stories side you and that out to have some conversations after JT and Jack decided to come out. Just want to win into those expectations and how did that help you maybe get the right mindset that gets put into this cup? 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's happening all that time from here to then. So I feel like we definitely just Coach Day and me kind of connected. And we kind of just talk man-to-man and be kind of dissent straight to me and I feel like we kind of both are going on.

4:04:19That's what I mean, we're making it. Making each other better every day. 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 in Coach football. How do you feel about the better player today at any more games you see? I feel like I've taken big steps in my rules 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 and going to the ball. Kind of get out there more on the team, they kind of bring people in and I feel like we're kind of helping out more. How do you record your head around the posture since the T-PX? Does it 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 been in here for like a freshness for a face crazy. But you don't want to spend all your time on the first month of the year right there. There is a pace yourself that there's a mindset. Definitely definitely going to have the mental stability to handle all those weeks and all those practices.

4:05:22How much has Larry talked to you guys about? Last question right here. 2016, 2017, 2017, 2017, 2017, 2017, 2017, 2017. How much has he talked 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'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 I feel like we all are just great individuals and we come together at 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 our first play when I got up there to the seat. Like when the sale, the IGB and your main like personally they say is like no worry. Just go out there and play with confidence. You know, you know the tools is usual tools. Just go out there and make a play. And we're about to play coming to you. Now we're just so time to show job. You just do it. And then like saying what goes well. He gives me. He puts me in a position like at the drills we put in the work you put in the one on one.

4:06:25So I just go out there and perform at the highest level. How much better are you right now than maybe last month? A four sprint practice. I mean, I got way better just because I've transitioned a little bit to the inside. Nicholas Fawcett. I'm like now I seem to like catch catch technique and it's been often covers not. It's not always press at the line. So it's like not maybe like move my feet move my hands like. See like what I got to do just like just in case I got to go back in corner. I can. I plan. Well, now I'm very confident out there. Do you think that was an actual fifth of you or have you had the kind of convince yourself to transition around? I mean, I feel like it's natural for me because I feel like me. And individually I'm a fast learner. Fast learner like coaches help us like learn fast and 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 hired, they coach us to like the techniques always. You go out there and play like fast spot. And it's been like it would like reversatility. So I'm really been stuck there this spring a little bit right whenever you get it's like other things.

4:07:31I just bounce out there every once in a while just like have just have fun. See if I still got it every once in a while. So it's as good as going to the computer most spots. You mentioned the technique what technique tips and things that you had to pick up and learn from walking from. I mean, it's always like you are because what coaches ask you hands like see it. You see it move your feet and then you hit your hand with your hands on the mask. It's like when you get like when you out there you able to like process like the way the receiver comes off the ball looking at the hips and seeing like the way he moving. Like you able to pick up like the row constant you can get out of that like so it's being like other 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 your cover two you cover three each you cover one. It's easy but you got nickel. There are so many responsibilities you got to see like the row concepts you got to be able to process like diagnosed.

4:08:31Rouse faster than what you got to do in that corner and just be able to like everything's. Quaid like your transition you got like you got to move fast. You got to just learn to move fast. It's like game recognition where you think maybe from the most since you got it. I definitely say I definitely say has because how you get like college is a little bit different. High school we don't got to worry about things like that when I want you get to college in school like this. Like your recognition of plays and like you know your jobs the way like the coverage is supposed to be played. Understand all your teammates or pluses you have them feel like it's easy. What if your product is bad? It's very talented. He's a great dude. He's a humble guy. Great teammate. Very supportive. As I got into the one round because you like you can feed off your energy because you can see like we make a play. He's like he like IGB. It's like IGB 2.0. So he's like when you get out there with guys like that would get energy and make you play a little bit harder. And then like when you make a play it's out there.

4:09:32It's helping you like it's being out there with him. He's a good player. He's a good player. One of those guys has a tough question. Can't fool kids. I would say obviously in the last couple of years or so. I'm just popping through your face now. What is it about one build that gets you through any play at Ohio State? It's a big question I know. Let me just ask a couple of things because we have so many kids come out of Google and just play at games. I leave like the league schools and then like like chikes a big part of it because I mean to see a good athlete in a good building. Everybody got a run track like it's minutes right. You don't really get a choice. You're able to just like get out here and like know how to compete and then like G like. Gain builds that mental toughness into you so like. Have you like I've heard now you got to be mentally tough because I'm not like. Life's not going to be easy so it's like being out here. You know we could pee when you down just pick yourself back up. I mean that's what he has done for me and that's what he has done for me. I don't mean that's what I have. QT how do you describe the mentality of the defense right now? How do you describe the defense in your life?

4:10:33I mean I think it's an opportunity for a great athlete to work in. Yeah, hungry and thankful. I mean we know how the 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 how to make a couple changes. But I think we understand what you know everything's that stick right now. Just fighting to where another house stage is for the next game. That's what's on stake and just to be able to represent this state and this team. That's 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 Adam King, WBNS. What do you remember most about walking off the field in Eugene? What was kind of all your minds in that moment? I mean there was a... Hi 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.

It's like having an urgent care and pharmacy at home. Say $45 with code blue at urgentcarekit.com slash blue. 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 kind of hit deep. I understand it. Man, we still, there's still a lot of ball left to be played. I mean, you can let it sting for a little bit, but you know, if you let it carry over too long, then, you know, there it goes. There goes your whole season by. I think we did a great job of just understanding coming together in this room right here.

4:13:42Not being afraid to display or hold accountability for one another. And, you know, as that happened, we came back, we grouped, and, you know, we're just going right now. And I'm just blessed for those specific moments, you know, losing. I mean, no one wants to lose, but the testimonies and the things you're taught within those little situations speaks of all of you. Central overall, Vladimir Drone. What did you see from King Yada in the last couple of weeks? Was there like a push from him? Did there be any conversation with him? You can see that he's playing in the same basketball court as I see it. Yeah, I mean, that's my boy. He's in the R2X club too, but, you know, Keata. I mean, every time his numbers call, he goes out there and makes the most of it, no matter where we are in the game. When he goes out there, he's just hungry. He wants to go make plays, and, you know, we see it in practice, so it's not surprising to us.

4:14:43Bill Rubino, it's a play that's this bad. Dylan Gabriel is obviously very elusive in her talent, and he's not very tall. How important could it 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. No one who you're playing against, like you said, Dylan, he's a... He's sure, but he's very elusive. I mean, he can... He is making throws. I mean, he get out the puck, he can do everything. So I think for us, we just have to discipline him and just continue to just meet with Coach Jay, meet with Coach Nose, and understand how we can just eliminate that. What should I about you and Jack? I mean, your personality seems to be a little different. You're more on the quiet side. How about you play together four years, both five-star guys, kind of describe your relationship with him, friendship with him, and just kind of how you cop with each other? Man, that's my brother, like he said. We're different, but very alike. I think outside, like you said, he's louder and quiet, but once we're on that field, we're like the same person.

4:15:46We'll do anything for this team. We'll die for our players, and we'll give everything we got. We've been running together for four years, correct? Yeah, fall camp. Every group of players. Yeah, sometimes go over there. So go over there. There's the neat one who's the messy one. We have our share of days when I'm neat. He's neat, or 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, like I've heard, when you're playing a team for the second time, and that was almost a season to go by now, how much of a square one with the scouting and preparation, or how much do you take from that game? How much do you avoid taking so that you don't have any preconceived notions of what you're going up against on the offensive line? I say it's pretty 50-50. I mean, that game, like you said, was a while ago, but at the same time, they elevated as a team, so did we. So we understand that they made some changes for sure. There's a certain tendency that we can take back from that game, but we also understand that they went on a little run after that,

4:16:53and we can see that they elevated as an offense, so we just got to continue to watch those games, dissect other games, and just continue to see what stands out and what they changed from the past game. We got a couple calls on Zoom that will wrap up with, first we have Nick Hamilton from Nightcast Media. Nick? I just wanted to ask you basically about the synergy of this defense, and how you guys were able to not only celebrate the triumphs but get through the adversity, be able to be this top notch defense that you are in college football today. Here, Pete, the question one more time. Yeah, no problem. I wanted to ask you about the synergy you are able to develop over the course of the season, obviously celebrating the triumphs, but also getting through the adversity to where you are all the top notch defense that you are today. Yeah, I mean, like you said, we went through a lot of trials to trials, but there's also a lot of things we can take away from all the wins and losses.

4:17:53From those wins, we understood that we can be the best defense in the country, and from those losses, we understand that there are still things that need to be fixed. I think when you take all that in, at once, that comes out to the Comma Goal or the Comma Talk, which is, there are always learning points everywhere. Depending on 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. 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.

And then one final question. Joey Coffin, Columbus Dispatch. Joey. JT, what have you guys done better in the, especially in the Tennessee game and just late in the season, you think about turning some of the pressures that you've gone on in quarterbacks and the sacks and getting a home in some of those situations.

4:21:13Yeah, I think it was more just understanding the defense as a whole, understanding everybody's job. Thing as the season went on, we had to understand that we have to know what's going on in the back. We have to know what's going on in the lineback recruit to understand what plays we have room of freedom. And I think once we understood that and got a better understanding of everybody's job. I mean, it showed this play because everybody else we should have is doing. It's not like the lineback is not what they're doing. And the corners and be 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, they're listening how they can get to the quarterback and you know if I'm dropping the play court backs back and ask Cody on how to open field tackle. So, you know, we just we just kind of lean on each other's understanding because you know, like I said, like Denzel knows how to play corner better than I know how to play corner. So, you know, he has more, more wisdom at that position than I do. JT, thank you very much. Pressurator, you know, it's like that when the ball's kind of moving away.

4:22:15Definitely, a little bit of both. Obviously, I just want the team to win. I think we got a chance to win. No, definitely towards it and then stretch that last drive. I was a couple plays here, a couple calls and maybe you should have gotten. But I think the frustration more so it just comes from, you know, wanting to win or anything. So, what did you say 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. You didn't got a different coverage out of cloud to my side and this is kind of how the game goes. What's the process then? Sometimes where, or whatever reason, just see that. Yeah, definitely. Especially in college, a lot of the game fans defensively were tick me away. You know, we had a lot of success at a high up state. Obviously, one of the ball had a different, the weapons, they kind of still get the victories. And I was, yeah, you continue to do better jobs when I hear. Why are the communication the process been like post game, getting on the same page with Kyler, you guys exchange text or you guys in the film?

4:23:21I'm definitely kind of asking what did I see there, kind of go over and play. I just try to give him what I saw and kind of different feedback to 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. You got to let 16 more of them. Hopefully, no, I can stay healthy throughout the year and just continue to build and get better each week. You guys did so much work throughout the off season to get on the same page. How different is it when you get into that regular season? Yeah, it's totally different. It's totally different. You can do a lot of things, you know, inserts and shorts. And then once you go out there, put practice and you got pads on. You do like the point practice you get with the colds, but there's nothing like actually going out there. Not a live action and really trying to get the same case. So I think that relationship will continue to develop and we'll get better. Is that it? Just a matter of reps then. Yeah, definitely, definitely. Like I said, that was kind of my first live action together. So continue with your early impressions.

4:24:27Yeah, but obviously I have a death respect, you know, JG's call or preseason. Obviously, we all feel really healthy. That's kind of the most important thing. Obviously, that's all healthy even going forward. Marvin, what are your early impressions of the Rams? What do you think of the Rams? Yeah, I mean, they're a good team. They're a good physical team. I got a lot of new guys up front, I think. That's kind of where the strong suit is. Kind of a little different to Buffalo, come more of a little match coverage. So I'm excited to go against it. Personally, when the bills take taking one of my opportunities, how do you feel today? Wasn't many of them. Wasn't many of them. I'm just wondering, how much were you thinking versus just playing? You know, not getting a preseason game actually. I think it was three. It was definitely, definitely thinking a lot out there. And I think I'll come with reps. I think to think less and just going out there and playing. Definitely come with reps. And it's something you know, I'll get better at. But I think definitely I was thinking a lot out there. Is there anything you can do to bring that that's from coverage?

4:25:27Anything you can do to bring that? You're going to face that a lot. Yeah, I mean, you just got to team. You know, you're self-developable. And when the ball does, you're going to be making the play. And he's just taking you away. I mean, other guys are having a chance to get open. So that's not kind of how I look at it. It's no longer since it's you know, offense. That's the best thing for us. That kind of thing would be with Kyler. Is there something that comes pretty quickly in a new game? Or something like that? Hopefully sooner or later, I think. I'm looking to see you. I don't think we're in a bad place right now at all. Obviously, I don't really think that. But just a live episode will continue to grow and show. I think how I believe maybe different than somebody else may believe. You know, like, that practice, at least like the positive, you know what I mean. So, but the energy yeah, would be on just though, height of the B-line start to. So I was kind of, how I want to be, go on my, let it go, I thought again, I felt team captain, like specifically.

4:26:29I felt I wasn't a captain in high school. Wasn't a captain in college. But I want to make a joke, I was in high school. I feel like I'm not going to be a captain like it's that I felt. 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 role as a captain from perspective of guys. I want to give you a word and get back to that point. Yeah, I mean, I can't say that, I mean, I guess the biggest thing is that I felt like how you used to in the past. But it didn't take just the first LTAs. It took training and left and right once this season and because I know what was going to be shared. So, it was like a lot of, yeah, grips, 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.

4:27:31That is it. Talking about the long coach, some things I'm doing my feet to get to that, to sell that traditional angle that I love to sit on. I thought I felt great already, but I felt even better. Sorry, the more excited tomorrow now, I'm getting my feet back and how I like the right side and on the left side. So, I mean, obviously I feel like in the league, whether you're left or right, you're still going against Premier Guy. So, obviously, you're high expectations for your left hand on the tackle. But, definitely, the level of energy and the expectation is definitely taking the hands down. Because now, tonight, it applies, I guess, as the tackle world, you know. So, yeah, I would say in terms of communication as far as this, even outside of the facility, and stuff like that, I'd like really crazy that the tackle quarterback, bond even more off the field, I think has been something that's even done cool.

4:28:31I got the text one day, and I said, hey, thank you for your love. I was like, you know, I've been training both. I've been training both. And I asked after the season, they're like, honestly, you know, we'll talk to you in some way in the season, and I just got the text one. I was with the free agency. So, I was like, you know what, I had an old season right tackle. So, if I get the word, I'm going to stand right tackle. I did what I did before, I'm building on that. I was like, I'm going to be trying to left tackle now, as if I'm going to be left tackle. And I'd rather do that than train all the right time with the co-a. I was pushing my feet. You know what I mean? So, I'm like, let me just prepare an advance. I was like, yeah, it was God. I think occasionally, on third down, there'll be a lot of twists. I was just like, it's on a magic of God. And I think that was my mindset for the first half of the season. I didn't have to go into the game with some pros. I kind of figured, okay, this is the type of rush I'm going to get.

4:29:35This is how this guy usually rushes. If I get the vibe, this is how the end is like the rush, you know, tackles that. First year guys, we got the Premier patch on. Already, you know, what it was going to be. Already, you know, we'll be 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 problem is twist on my side. It was never aerodynamic. Well, they come up with my, I was like, three plays in the world. Two minutes. I do that, it was the way I said a lot. You know what I mean? I'm watching more everybody else, and he rarely, he only goes out there occasionally. I was like, you know, I was like, he's going to pick me. You know what I mean? So, effect, effect, it's kind of, it's also kind of an advantage in a way. But I was also excited, like, okay, I'm going to get the hardest look. You know, those are the real, real reps, you know, the things. I'm really out on our way to kind of process. I was like, hey, when they tell me, let me know about my, I'm just going to train it. I was training all left.

4:30:36So, TAs, I guess if I didn't hear anything about TAs, I would've came in like, so, you know what I mean? Because just like, I'm cool with training both, I would've been cool with training both continually. But I feel like anybody in any position will feel like, okay, like, you want as soon as possible, we'll give your feet settled in, your hips settled in, your hands, so then, you know, certain kind of that. Would it have been harder for you to work both very healthy? No, you know. But, they're definitely, but in terms of the development, the death of the last faster, the stand on one side. But I think having that, the weeks that we had the transitional seasons over, I'm glad to like this one. You know, good, good. I'm trying to get up, put it on my front, and then weak things at a time right now. But when it comes back, I'm going to show them that you're in the house. I've got a house not too far from, so I told them, I got that house, like, like, like a yellow side.

4:31:36Like, these days. You know what I mean? So, yeah. That doesn't have any stock or anything. Doesn't mean anything, so we're at the play on Friday, and that's really all that matters. We're going to take two more from Zoom before turning it back. Our first one's going to come from Stephen from pleveland.com. Go ahead. Well, it'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, and, you know, after doing that, does it surprise you at all to see him having a success he's had as a freshman? No, it doesn't bring me surprises. It was pretty, pretty easy to see the talent that he has and the blessings that God has put on his plate. But it's always a challenge going against Jeremiah and other receivers in Mecca and Karnel in 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.

4:32:44Final question from Zoom is going to come from Dan Hope. Go ahead, Dan. Caleb, you, Quinn had a lot of success against you guys when you played him at Alabama last year. Just what do you remember from going up against him last year and what can you learn from that game? Really smart quarterback knows how to operate their offense. Close the ball in the right places and then Coach Arquizin does a great job putting him in positions to win. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two-thirds of people on CalShe lose money.

Thank you Rob Aller, Columbus Dispatch, Caleb, JT and Jack Lannopson sides.

4:34:48And they is opposite off the field. As they are on in terms of personality and just the people they are. They are offices but they are also like one of the closest people I know. They spend a lot of time together. They have come from different sides of the country so they are different people for sure. But they are both really great people and really great men. I am sorry to expect both of them. How did you do that? I am not going to do that. I am sorry. I am going to ask the war on podcast. Throughout the season we would always see you on Wednesday nights you and Nathan would be some of the last people off the field. Are the things that you are working on after a practice always the same? Is it a routine? What are the things that you are hoping to get out of those extra moments after a practice? It was a routine, pretty much 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.

4:35:54So every week we go through the same things and then we add certain things that we do for the team that we play is going to ask us to accommodate. Bill, we are going to ask you a question. Bill, we have been on this club for a long time. Yeah, I already got one here. Oh okay, Joe and Goplin club is this bad. Killin. When? Texas uses play action and Nathan uses play action to prepare a bit. What do they do well in those spots and what do you guys do 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 path and see because 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 what it is. Deep right, Nick Walker, Letterman Rolf. Hey, you guys had a pretty good game plan for Tyler Warren when you guys played him. You guys have another Texas guy that's going to tie it in and gun him. What do you guys have to do to limit him and what do you think about his game? He's a really good player.

4:36:54He 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 them, you've got to make a play when it comes. Right, one of the main drillers. When you look at their receivers, they spread ball around. What stands out about the way they can spread ball around? A lot of really good athletes. I played with Isaiah Bond, last year, who's a great receiver. A lot of speed. And then all their receivers have made a lot of plays. So everybody has to be on their peasy cues if we're going to stop them and have a really good job. You have a brother on your 10 May, Letterman Role? Yeah, Kel, but you moved up here and I don't have to tell you when you moved. Basically a year ago. It's a little bit of a leap of faith because you know how many athletes are on this team. You can get athletes to stuff.

4:37:54But when did you really feel this defense come into its own? And then past that, man, watching in the Rose Bowl, you're recognition of what was coming. It seemed to be on point. Did it feel like that? I mean, you personally. I think the defense has played really well throughout the season. I think we've had games where we played better and games where we haven't put it all together. 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. I mean, you were really active out there directing and things like that. Did it feel like that? 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, what we're seeing with the other teams. I feel like that allows us to play fast and me and Laketon to communicate to everybody else. Did I miss anyone's questions here?

4:38:55Steve, how long in front of you in sports? Yeah, Kel, 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. 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 everything that comes with that. But it's a blessing to be here. And one final question, Bill, where Ben wants to play this guy? Yeah, I did want to follow up. When I talked to you at the after 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? You know, that's a good offense. They're going to score against most teams. Why were you so hot? It's just because we didn't execute, which let them score.

4:39:57So 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 number's called. Caleb, thank you very much. I feel like they're definitely picking up quick. I mean, I was in their shoes one time and I had Zach Harrison, Javante and Tyler Friedel, I'm trying to make stuff. I'm just trying to be kind of one of those peers that they work 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. I feel like all the camps I've definitely got in a big course learn. And I'm definitely going to be one of the great rushmen. So when Coach Johnson saw the ball, JT and Zach probably didn't need it. It's not a big experience. So maybe that's a little opportunity for me to do a lot of things. Is there a difference in the work for you? Does he be getting through Apple Camp for the last couple? I feel like all the camps I've definitely got in a big course learn. And I love that. So I asked Coach Jay for it. I love getting more reps because I just like protecting my craft.

4:40:57So I mean, some people may not need it. Some people need it. But I mean, that's like he has me right beside me. What do you think? Speak on that course learn. 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. Kind of just perfecting my toolbox is what we call it and my craft. And trying to be a second whenever every player is what I do. Where's the takeer of the biggest system? What are you trying to do? You're seeing a good system. Yeah, I'm definitely just getting stronger faster, everything all the above. But one of my big things is being a leader. And kind of just not trying to look, still 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 we kind of have a lot of leaders on the D-line and at the D-In position. So we kind of just kind of talk to children and others. Is there been a tough time in the shoot? We've been up to our guys. Same with the ball. We've been up to the ball. And we're trying to push people out.

4:41:59So you need to push those guys. What does that transition mean to? It's repetitive and we love it. We're all repetitive people. We all love to push each other. And that's the way we're bringing the best side of all. I feel like we're all just kind of bouncing off each other and seeing what one person does. And kind of building into our toolbox. And we all kind of just kind of build one great table. Hey, do you ever run a last year and you got the shot of the full back in the club? And did they approach you with that idea and two coach down on the other deck in the back? Because you're a judge, Jack's all your slot in. Okay. It gives a test deck back. So I definitely did it in high school. I was full back and a little bit excited. So I feel like it kind of saw what I could do there in Coach Wilson. Honestly, he left Washington too before he left. And he played in that seed 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 you have anything in the screen? New playbook. I did not know you haven't got that far. How tough is that? You're looking back. I like to think myself as a football player.

4:43:00I 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, do the same thing. Oh yeah. And what about what? Graphically, that's what... Ken is just talking to Coach Johnson on Tuesday about some of the conversations and sort of sought you and got out to have some conversations after JT and Jack decided to come back. Just kind of went into those and perspective and how did that help you really get the right mindset I guess meeting this person. I'm 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 and all that time from here to to then. So I feel like we definitely just coached in. We kind of connected. And we kind of just talked. Man oh man. And he kind of just sent straight to me and I feel like we kind of both had a good time on this. And we know what we're making. We're making each other better every day. We got the four best DNs. Five best DNs, obviously. And college football and we're going to be one of the best DIs in college football.

4:44:01But you feel like a better player today than you were in this season. Well, 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. Any record ran around the past seven TKHC? That 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 getting more time to kind of enjoy it and kind of savor it. Because I'm already here for a freshman. It's crazy. But you don't want to spend all your power in the first month of the year, right? Oh yeah. And there is that not pace yourself that way. I mean, there is a mindset. Yeah, definitely, definitely going to have that mental stability to handle all those weeks and all those practices. How much is Larry talking to you guys right now? Last question right here. 2016, 2017, 4 and a bell.

4:45:01Two French and a bell and so 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 watch the film. We see them all working together. We know what it could be. We know we could become. So we know we're right at the same, we're at the right place at the right time. We know what it is 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 are just great individuals and we come together at some discussion. Great. Doing it, what would the deliberation be? I'm surprised it's even a conversation. Like, it should always be live. Let's tell you. Tell you. Tell you play football. So obviously there's a proximity to the season, which is a little reckless, I understand that. But in spring, when you're competing for jobs, I mean, if I'm a quarterback, I'm 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 live, I don't think you fully give guys opportunity to be who they want to be or who they can be.

4:46:02So that being said, you know, I will cast my vote, but that will not be my final decision on that. But I will cast my vote. I think I can handle it well. It was good for all parties involved and more we can do that better, but I'm sure that is coming to a close here very quickly. So. That would be 24-7. Right. General Maya off the field, we saw after practice on the Saturday that the mob that came to autograph some 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 aspect? Yeah, I mean, it's a blessing to be able to be in a position where, you know, can provide insight or, I wouldn't say recommendations, but just, you know, give perspective. Well, he chooses to receive the perspective or not one and not me. He always does, but which is fine.

4:47:03But to be in that position is really humbling. That being said, he does a really good job on his own. He doesn't need to check talent too much. He's really 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 handling it and it'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. What made Quixie the first freshman to do this is Black striker? Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. I think that, you know, frankly, you know, I don't, I'm not really fully evolved with that.

4:48:07So that can be, but I wasn't. You know, I think that people on the outside, whether it be defense or even coach day or anybody brought it to my attention, you know, we're kind of just going about practice and that's our expectation to make plays, not make mistakes. And he was starting to make a lot of a lot of plays consistently. 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 ball is 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 strike off all those kind of things. That's the ultimate sign of respect. I think with your peers, you know, go to your bat. He's not going for his bat. No one else. 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 serve 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 Sarevelle.

4:49:09All that he's been able to do and Tyler Bohn was talking last week about the importance of the cross-training and all that that goes into that. How much have you seen Austin benefit from this spring and everywhere that he's been and helping with peace to think he's going to be regardless of where he fits on his offensive line? Yeah, I think Austin's been awesome. I mean, he literally, you know, what was he saying? He played every split, every position. He was moving around, you know, and he handles it. 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 you know, the online, your name gets brought up when usually not going as well, you know, I mean, they're literally at the point of the tack on every single play. So there's nowhere to hide. And so, but Austin, when his name gets brought up, it's like, man, that was a good job. Right. Good job. Pass off that combo. Whatever. It's always positive. And they really impressed with him. You start in the winter to a great job through the winter again, continuing to build their respect for his peers. And then he's going to a good job. Really good job just being very consistent through spring.

4:50:11Our left, Jeff Gilbert, press pros. Brian, since you've been working more with the whole offense, the one 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 you thought before just a wide receiver? Yeah. I mean, there's no just a wide receiver guy. You are just wide receiver guy. You won't be a very later on. 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 guy, whatever you want to call it, there's only one page, just the quarterbacks page. So everything is based off them. There, whether it be their progression, their timing, the stresses they have is what we're trying to minimize. So if you don't fully understand the quarterback play, it's hard to maximize receiver play, I think. That being said, yeah, I'm so always learning.

4:51:11You know, I think that I can't say anything's jumped out massively right now, but I would say that. You know, I guess I would say that the preparation level, I mean, the what is required to execute and play at a high level, it's just not capable in the a lot of time. Right. I mean, there's only so much time where I'd be with players. If 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, align same thing, I mean receiver play sometimes can, you know, get away from it. We do a great job studying and being in the room extra for sure, but 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 they need to know. And frankly, the, you know, the old line is good as the quarterback, the receiver's lines goes the quarterback, the offense is nice because the quarterback and it's our responsibility to put guys in position to maximize with their capable of maximizing.

4:52:17But 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 was maybe a little naive to, but I think that's a doing a great job doing it. And just a couple more coaches got a meeting, Rob Aller, Columbus Dispatch, Brian, you 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. Are you tougher on them because, no, I think that, I mean, I think we have a lot of guys, you know what? I 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, say, unbelievable 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. 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.

4:53:25And 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, and but overall motivation is not what we've needed. 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 and the looking back, if you will, I think everyone's pretty pretty focused on being forward and known we haven't accomplished anything. 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 of my room. Brennan, he's been in trouble. Obviously, Cornell taking on that role, more and being more vocal. He's a good football player. Obviously, he's going to do that.

4:54:30But that process for him and becoming a more vocal leader took pretty to say that on. What was the question? What do you think like the growth 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 on a mecha made and the role he played and to think that you're going to lose that and then be a better group. Part doesn't mathematically make sense to him. So someone's got to set up in that role and one and on respects them too. He knows he's capable of it and that's just the desire and the appreciation, I think, to be at the table now, the overhead and appreciate the way I met him 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 Rebellt, what's the bonus this back? Could you assess the running back room? I think it's pretty much assumed. Both is running back to CJ and James. I think that's hand in system is probably the way you've got to go again. How do you think it's working and you see third and maybe fourth guys up in the mirror?

4:55:38I think that, you know, college football, NFL football, any football really, you got to have depth in the running back room. I think that it's 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. The ability for us to identify what they do great and put them in good positions to be what they are. What they're 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? I'm always able to, that's why you're here, but how often you do it ultimately dictates how much you play. But overall, I think locksmen on them, they understand the standard and in past pro and not being a guy we got to sell out because you can't pass protect. So we were blessed, especially with tray last year and in Quenchaum. But no, these guys are done a good job. They're competing. They've been very coachable.

4:56:41It's shown a lot on film. But yeah, I mean, it's always hard on backs. Every opportunity you get to go live and break tackles really keeps 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. But 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, I think ultimately, how good will the group be? It's probably based on the bottom rising. You're going to have some guys at the top, but where's the floor? And so I think Bo and Sam has done a really good job. And many more guys to get healthy, more guys on campus, but very encouraged. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it.

4:57:48All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. 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. He's kind of one of those incoming freshmen who still should be in high school. He's a guy. I think you're going to point to and you can see right now he's going to be a player over to the right Austin Ward, the podcast. A healthy Mitchell Melton. How does he fit in for your defense? What does he bring to it? He's, you know, Mitch is that combination player, you know, 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.

4:58:49You 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 Hicks, you know, for the long season. People get injured. You get a little light inside. It's always hard on the defensive tackles. You know, you know, that's Mitch is a guy who definitely can do all that. He has that over to the left. Joey Kaufman Columbus dispatch. Jim, you've talked about this before, but I think in past years where you're going up against a really talented receiver group offense to encourage your players to it's not okay if they give up the play and to go nearly almost the first half. Today, where you the offense didn't get in the end zone until the late in the second half just and you guys have guys down the second area. Just what did you think of that sort of trend and how it's evolved in the way you guys almost shut them out of the first half?

4:59:49Yeah, I think it's become, you know, an expectation now. You know, our DB's, you know, our BIA, best in America, we led the country in past defense. I think it was 96 when 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. They view it as a standard. So that was good to see in the first first half. Over to the right Spencer Holbrook, Letterman Role. Jim, we've talked about safety changing the way that you play defense in the Leo and the linebackers, but how much does having the depth that you guys have a defensive tackle change the way that you can do things defensively? Yeah, I mean, you're going to play to your strengths, you know, and that's my job. What do we have and what do we do best? And 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.

5:01:01It changes the way you call a game. You know, it certainly helps you be in better shape on explosive plays on the back end. You don't have to do a whole lot to help those guys out because they're making tackles. So you got to go, you got to go with that. You know, you got to let those guys play and they're good. So you can't get too far away from the scheme of having those defensive tackles make place because they're doing it and it works. Over to the left Tony Gerberman, Buckeye Huddle. Jim Ryan talked about the quarterback run being more of a thing with the offense here during the season. How much of when you're facing a team like that, how much does that impact your day to day throughout the week preparing for that? Yeah, it's a time, you know, it I think it changes everything you do on defense. You see it everywhere from the NFL on down if you have a quarterback who can make plays with his feet. Your scheme better be designed that, you know, to take that away into account for it. So it changes the way you look at everything when you're game planning.

5:02:04Thank you, Donovan. Over here to the right. Tim May, the Tim May podcast. Yeah, Jim, you might be doing it when I asked Ryan about just for example Calvin Simpson, Hunt, but the corner scene to be playing almost with the chip owner shoulder to a certain of the enemy Davis and Nick Benosin took the day 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 Buis you going into this off season? Yeah, when you can when you have corners that you can count on again, just like having defense of 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.

5:03:05And it's not just a little bit more. I just came in late back. Yeah, I mean, he's. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy, they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money, lose money, lose money, lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEOs words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. He did come in late and you know, he compete. He's one of those guys that just competes every day. Doesn't say much. You know, he's trying to live up to the standard of the other guys. And you see him coming along. You know, you see him step by step coming along and you know, put him in a, you know, competitive atmosphere, same step up.

5:04:05That's a great sign. And final question for coach Knowles, 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. But he has certainly shown that he's going to be able to help this defense coach. Thank you very much for your time. All right. And we will bring offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Chip Kelly to the podium now. We'll open up the questions over to the left bill Rebinoid's Columbus dispatch. What are your just general impressions of the offense coming out of spring, especially at quarterback?

5:05:07We'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, 80,000 for 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 practice, 50, 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. We'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. What 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 them better. But they capitalize on it. We really rolled them. You know, if you were at some of our screen practices, you're watching all those guys rotate and rotate out.

5:06:13And as we talk about all the time, you know, the old adges is don't count your reps. Make your reps count. You know, we'll put it all together and really come up with, you know, which guy do we really feel is going to help us move this offensively. Over to the far right, Bill Landis, the podcast, Kings of the North. Hey, Chip, you said when we first talked to you that the basis of a lot of your success running the football is 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 did the next few months look like as you try to piece that all together? Really good question. It's interesting because the one thing that I think sometimes makes it tough and in evaluation is what a good front we want to get. You know, so for 15 practices, those guys on the other side of the ball were 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 in the defensive side of the ball because of what they can do. I still think we'll have to really evaluate that what we're going to what we're not what we got to get better at what we got to work on.

5:07:17But I think the work we got against such a quality defense was really key for us. Over to the far left, Nathan Barrett, Cleveland.com. So, a year ago at this time, it came out of the spring with still a lot of question marks about the offensive line. And even I guess that last season came out with question marks. How have you seen that progress in the time that you've been here and what's your confidence level that that offensive line is going to allow this offense to do everything it wants to do this well? Yeah, I mean, I've been here short amount of time. So I didn't know. I 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 talking football with some of those guys. It's like, well, these guys are wired the right way. And a lot of those guys have played a lot of football. So they can bank on their experience. I think we'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.

5:08:17But 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 to get when you get through 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 a... Calhchee's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on Calhchee lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the hope you're some amount of money, time, resources, energy, they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it.

5:09:22All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on Calhchee lose money. That's Calhchee in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. There's a looming figure around this whole program. We get to get to work every day and then Woody Hayes athletic center. So it was good enough for Woody. 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 Tee. Been a short yardage formation for us and we've done some different things with it. But also I think our players had a lot of fun practicing that and doing some different things. So it's a small part of our offense. We will not be in the Tee 21 times in one game. But we may get it in some short yardage situations. And I think it's come back. There's a lot of schools right now that are starting to do that. You know, 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

5:10:22being the full back in that situation. 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 in 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 this 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 of the D line and the secondary and the receivers. The competition is the best there is in the country. That makes you better. But I think sometimes competition guys can lash out and it gets really combative. And then all of a sudden the fight breaks out and the fight breaks out. 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.

5:11:26And I think you're going to need the closest team and the most connected teams on the ones that win. Over to the right here. Andy Baxter, Letterman Rowe. Jay, 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 a really talented player also. But, 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 a blank slate. You know, I had no opinions formed. Not that really just wide-eyed and just observant, but, you know, that, I think that wide receiver is really special. And I think there's a bunch of guys in there. And again, you have to play multiple, 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.

5:12:27And 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 have less of double coverage? They have less of double coverage. And now it's a little bit lighter boxing. You can run the ball. So, having too many weapons is a good problem to have. Second roll left, Pat Murphy. 24-7 sports. Chip, we've talked a lot about kind of the quarterbacks maybe vying for the story to about. 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 Aaron 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.

5:13:30And they interpret, you know, so 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, we're 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 in the more they can digest the more when you're in a room, when you're checking for understanding and asking questions. And they can spit back to you the more confidence you have when they get in there with the plays that you can call for. So those guys have been in process. They're still learning, you know, they were the guys today that were kind of looking around and saying, wow, 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. So I caught myself and I went into the stadium today looking around saying 80,000 for spring.

5:14:33And 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. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, 2-thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy, they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, 2-thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEOs words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. You know, he really thinks very, very quickly on his feet. He makes really quick decisions. He doesn't stick on and read. He can progress in any C-sense really well for a young player. You know, in not having been exposed to a lot of college defenses.

5:15:36And especially what Jim does. 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 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 are 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. You know, they act like football players. And those are two guys that are, are examples of that. Far left. Cameron T. Robinson, the athletic. On the topic of freshmen, James Peebles and Sam got on the 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 me not knowing again. And it's just a, don't worry about what the background is, where they're from, who they are.

5:16:40The this guy of this stars, this guy of that stars. It's, they're all bakis. And there'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. T.C. is another guy who really came along during the spring. And we're constantly talking in our staff meetings about depth. We're very cognizant of the fact that the playoff situation has changed. So you have to develop that depth, you know, used to be maybe have a pair and a spare. It was what everybody says, but I think you may have to have more than that. You're talking about 16, 17 games. You're really going to be tested that way. So I was really happy with how those young guys have come along here in the 15 training sessions that we've had. Oh, 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 team. You're a nice guy. I'm going to use your name. Okay. That's pretty cool. You must have some juice if you got your name in your podcast. Definitely. Okay. By the way, I like it. It's not just the hotlines.

5:17:40The hotlines last. The hotlines last. Yeah, it's a hotlines line. Yeah. Just two quickies. Number one, do you feel compelled to let these quarterbacks know where they stand? You know, it was coming up Tuesday, you know, to me. Yeah. You know, where does that go? I mean, in your mind. Yeah. We're all sit down as a staff and visit me. I mean, he does an unbelievable job of, I think, all our players understand where they fit and what the picture is. And we'll give them our assessment. This isn't, you know, we're not going to come back. But we do it after every day. They know where they stood after practice. One after two, after three, after four, we grade everything. They're getting constant feedback in terms of where we are. And then after 15, which we had today, but we can't do it unless you watch the film and can really look at the 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 he made that decision. So, you know, what, what, what, what, what, what 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.

5:18:42No one's going on the road, he recruiting until after that. But we're all a player meeting. He said 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, 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 through what you got. We're all aware of it. And I'm 100%. 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. Guys, we got to have, we got real quick. Last two questions, Dan Hope, and then Rob Aller. 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 off season. And then they'll go back to working with Mick in the weight room and getting bigger, getting faster, getting stronger.

5:19:45They'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. And if you say, hey, we decided we're going to be with Joe. And they all think it's Tim. You know, they're in the locker room with him every day. Players understand who they'd feel is the guy and most of the time it. CalSheezone CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still.

5:20:45And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalSheez in their own CEOs words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. The decision is very obvious. You know, when you just say, hey, this is where we are with it. But there's that timetable thing. I don't, I can't give you an exact timetable on that. So Rob, Chip, you talked about Julian. Typically in your experience, you've done it again, like Tim said a long time. How long does it take for the game to slow down for a young QB? I think it depends on the individual. I've had some kids where early, you know, you were like, wow, Mariah Odo was like that. Remember vividly, second practice. And he 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 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.

5:21:47And they didn't seem like there was anybody over there. But for him to process that thought, and 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're cognitive learning. They're an auditory learner. Do they learn by field? Is it more a field guy, you know, a more film guy? You know, it's all different. And I think we have to keep poking and prodding. And for us as coaches, that's the challenge too, is what is their best learning style? How can we convey it? Because education basically is just a transportation knowledge. But it really doesn't matter what I know or what I know. 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.

5:22:47And 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 this whole feeling of process that we're all, they're learning awesome. We're learning them. So, I have identities. So to coaches really. Really? Running quarterbacks. Is that something you've always sort of leaned 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 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 Mahomes Run. The Petra Mahomes is not a runner. Andy's not calling design quarterback runs for Pat. But when the defense matches up and plays two men and turns their back to the quarterback, well, maybe the best decision is to take off. You know, the second one he took off, I'm like, he may score.

5:23:47You know, a lot of guys go and they want a 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 know, you're not lowering your shoulder and taking people on. But we are always looking for quarterbacks that have the ability to run. We're not looking for running backs that can throw. You know, so you're not 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 times today. He took off a couple times today. Lincoln'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 reminder of respect for Coach Hayes and the legacy that he left here. The 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 ISO and quarterback power. But it is a, it's another weapon. You know, and if it also keeps defense is honest.

5:24:48You know, if your defense event is going to continue to bend from the quarterback and quarterback pulls it, he's on the edge and he's gaining 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. Well then his responsibility is to make the defense be honest. And that's really air did that a couple times today. Now we had a block that safety was sticking his face in there. So we took off around the edge. What happens in next play the defense is wider. And what do we have to do? We have a chance to hand the ball off to the running game. Coach thank you so much for your time and thank you for being a buck. All right thanks. It was definitely addressed here this pretty easy. I think Austin Saradol stepped up in a big way with Donnie being out. And then you know, you know, Carson can play Wolfgard in center which is good. And you know, we've actually, you know, sent his done a nice job as well. But it was good to see Austin, you know, he moved from guard to tackle a couple times.

5:25:48And even with the ones who 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 have. Rob all right. Time what's the main thing you want to see out of the old line? Yeah, you know, again, whether it's whatever happened last year or last year. But I know that the message to our to our offensive line is we want to play. I want to be the hardest playing offense line in the country. Now we've 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 it seems the offense better now. It 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. And we've got to be just playing with our hair on fire and knocking people back and playing physical. And that's the start to game. That's the end. This is a destination spot for why we say we can do it. But I don't see it that way at all.

5:26:54I 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 Gerbin. I was the situation that will line back. You should look for it right now. I'll see what it will. Yeah. So Sonny has really stepped up and played well. He's made this transition from safety to line backer. Very well. I think you did a nice job in the spring. But you could definitely see as he went into the summer, just bigger, stronger, being more comfortable closer to the line of spring. It's different when you're closer to the line of spring. It's 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.

5:27:54And he understands the communication. The linebackers always have to be involved at the front. They can be involved and fitted to the back end. He's doing that. I think he's looking forward to playing in a game and 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 in the field, being very intentional about his work, but playing really hard. Yeah, I haven't talked to Jim because we'll make that final decision here over the weekend. But he's certainly the leader in the club bus. Can you tell Ryan, I mean, Seth McLaughlin, can tell he's been there, done that? Is he projected that to the offensive line? You're still, and I'm saying, for the leadership stand going a grown man. Yes. How does that just come up? How does it show up? A bunch of ways. It just poised. It's not getting rattled when, you know, coach parks at you. It's, you know, okay, I got this. Let me get it under control.

5:28:54It'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 in the 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 got a fast lover. Thanks for over. I see a lot of people. See that. Hey, those are point where you got a black stripe off. And I feel like you took a step in the right direction. When you come in in the summer, it is very difficult to get on the field, especially early in the season. Whether he does or not, I will see. But if he continues to practice, boy, he's been practicing.

5:29:55And he'll give himself a chance to be in a rotation midway through the season. Or later in the season, which is similar to some of the water see everything that before. 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. And you know, we'll, 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. They're in the program. And we expect them to contribute. I'm still in there right there talking and communicating.

5:30:58But in the skirmishes we've had, it's been offense very defense. So I've mostly been on the offensive side still kind of going through all those types of things. And there's a lot to work through this year just with the play clock. And then it's going to mean that it's close to my 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 we're a person now. But I'm going to be very much involved with special teams. I think with the two minute one, there's some strategic things that are going to go on. Again, the half and 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 look in their eye, you know, 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 just like playing the next play. You know, and that's not just how it works. We're going to win the situations. And so all those things will come into play and making and game adjustments, you know,

5:31:58be involved with all three faces, you know, watching the game and the tablet to try to identify what happened in the last series. I think all those things will be happening. Right now, Nick is going to be the starter. And you know, that that competition going for next week. So right now, as we head into the weekend, he is the starter and the plan is ready to go first. I want to go up and go on Saturday against Akron. He's got a strong leg. He's made it a good transition into the country, but also just playing football and not Australian. 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 this quick faster. I think he's done that his time. It's been good. And he's been more consistent.

5:32:59You'll see, you know, he'll kick a few. I'll just go right out of the stadium. And he just got a strong, strong leg. So 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. Derby Birmingham. Well, Graham, I don't know if it's because Will made me took a little bit longer to make the decision in December than some of the other top of the line quarterback who was dead or because maybe there was a thought he wasn't going to be the starter. It can't stay too short. But it seems like people have been kind of as a game manager type of quarterback. After eight months with him, where do you see his ceiling? What is Will's special faith to you? Where do you see him taking something? I see a bunch of traits there. I think the first trait of size is big. He can stand in the pocket and he's strong. So I mean, that's the first thing he 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 feels the rush. But he stands right in there.

5:33:59I think the next trait is just, you know, his top end speed. And he can run 22 miles an hour at that size, which. There's not a lot of guys who can do that. So I think that's the true and the trait. And now I would say his overall leadership commands in the huddle is is another. You know, something that 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't to spell what's happening, I mean, it looks right. He just feel. And he can hurt you. You know, a bunch of different ways. So, you know, his ceiling. That's, that's going to be kind of, you know, up to how he plays this season. But, you know, 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 very much. You're welcome. Coach, you have Tentra, Zabola. And the goal line and Donovan Jackson.

5:35:01Please. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEOs words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. I mean, you have nerves naturally. So that's the first complaint I was good. I was just rolling. Also, it's a weird thing. First time you played in Ohio State. It was also the first start. Yeah. You, yeah, it's like I played well. And camp and practice all week. And I was I was ready. Yeah. I have two multi year starters.

5:36:02I did a lot. I mean, I couldn't ask them, hey, what we got here. But I was prepared. Well, I mean, I was telling Jimmy and said, hey, we're flocks. I'll be emotional. It's a guy from Ohio. What does it mean? It started. It was always my dream to come here and play and start. And having that like me, I just keep going, keep building those days, and those games, and keep building. What a much younger Austin, though, you do it. You told me you would have. Oh, no, not really. I don't think even I told my like, I asked my younger self, even committed here, I wouldn't believe that now. I have a couple of starts. Yeah. Awesome. Has this happened faster than you? I think we're going to come here with this player. I guess you're technically a sophomore. I knew that year two, I was going to see you some playing time. Now starting week one, year two, I didn't see that,

5:37:04but I was ready in spring ball. I knew I was going to play some soft games. What does it mean to you to, it's not only get the opportunity to play, but it's like you play well enough now. Coaching staff trust you. You've been there, but not there. I'm going to go to earn that silver. I guess it shows like my preparation, my hard work, and just everything I put into this, and I just finally show it up on the field. There are moments, the soft season, the end of the spring, and the end of the game. I don't realize that you could play at this high level, with the ones, you know, if you needed to. Yeah, the definitely was in a training camp. I mean, blocking highly can tie every day. It feels a lot of confidence in doing it well, and not getting balled or anything. There's defense attack wasn't that easy. Hero in Jason Moore in Taiwan, all those guys, pretty much anyone on the deepened line gets your face out of time. So, and Kay and Mag is well.

5:38:05Yeah. I'm also used to put a lot of them out. I'm more collected, how about this ability? That's a great thing to learn. 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, Josh Simmons, Donnie and Tiger. That means another voice and another captain of the line. Look, ways of having the men and women with this much experience help. You're in the middle of the line. I mean, a lot. He can tell you, I before to play what's going on, and how to block someone, like what you need to do, and it helps a lot. Tiger is talking about how calm he is, and 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, especially me and Tay, that's our first start. So, we were up here with Seth, he brought us down,

5:39:05and we were like fine. 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? It's by how he's acting, and what I mean, him, when we're on the side of him, both Josh Donnie and he was telling us, like we're cool, we got it, but it's pretty much like everyone, old, cool group. How much do you do that? As a first time starter, how much did you add in that? I mean a lot. That was my first time ever using iPads. We didn't use the iPads in high school, so 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, that's really not. Probably the first or second, but after that, I thought we'd say all right in the settlement. Awesome, thank you very much. Thanks for the fly, boy. You're welcome. That's you been a part of me several years ago? That's um, I want to say maybe,

5:40:07I don't know, but I mean, 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 playing basketball all I can set up football, and I feel like just the fast pace offense that we're running, really fits the guys we have right now, I'm really excited for that. I know you can throw a football at 65 yards, but can you kick a football, 75 yards, like wake up? All right, what's your question? I was your, um, your roommate, I think you mean it. He's a blessing man, I can't complain. He's a great guy. What's his name? His name's Lincoln. Teen hoes. Oh, he's a 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 burdens really messy. Well, it's true though. It's true, it's a real pretty clean song. Luke, are you still a cross-training attack or a bullsom? Or are you just been all-dark this play? Well, so far I've been all-dark. I really don't know. Like I said, I'm taking it practice, I practice.

5:41:08I can't end up being a back attack, like good and odd, but you know, I'm just really focused in on this past practice and the next thing you've found. What do you think? Oh, that means a lot. You know, you put a lot of work in to play here. You spend a dream just for being in Ohio kid, isn't from a Ohio kid's perspective. I mean, that's the biggest wish possible. I would say that's going to be pretty cool. What was it like to just last year at the first game getting on the field for the first time in the world? It didn't fly me. 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, I'm here now. It's time to roll. You know, it didn't really hit me. I was like, it didn't hit me after. I'm almost like, what would you feel there? And if I get out there at any end, I'm just like, honestly, I don't know. I felt less nervous at that time in high school and that makes no sense. What is it like to know what it is? What is it like to know what it is like to know what it is like to know? What is it like to know what it is like to know what it is like to know?

5:42:08A lot. I mean, I'm learning from Josh Ann Austin. I think, prior to my biggest role model series, my big brother, my first major. Tell him about Padilla. I don't want to say this. Padilla, okay. Yeah, no. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, Padilla, Austin, 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 play on the field with them. Turn all in the obstacle model. Oh, yeah, you know, it's been really helpful. You know, just keep in my mind just settled and straightforward on the next play. What is it? Biggest... It'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 to take consistent and worry about the next play. I guess we should get in action so that those big runs, you guys, start turning out. This has plus or less. Did it be up to each other? Absolutely. I mean, when you see defense of... And you see defense, you start arguing with each other and things like that.

5:43:08I mean, that makes it a lot easier. You know, I'll have those kind of level of play for us. What does that like? It's a special issue being to start dealing like you guys were dealing with. I think, like, the first game, I'm good with my control. I mean, it feels good to rip off these runs because I mean, we put them so much work on those. And the practice and, you know, seeing the mother cooking of that hard work. You know, these things are just... Tech, reserve sense that just not fits the linewise is you'll prepare this week with the top of that in there. They tell her, hold first time really, this season. It's not pretty canostin, it's just more of a down-to-jacks of pretty seasonal American, etc. I mean, it's not really a down-to-jacks of very good football player. When he's on the field, he makes his presence up. We've all been training on that. There's no tomorrow, just going to move and he'll be able to see him. We know it can be. You ever see the thing, there's a sense when you're watching you guys last week. You're even more of a force.

5:44:08It felt like watching you guys. Maybe even if you're not dancing. Yeah, I mean, we put in a work during practice. It's really hard. Coach, they really challenge us at practice hard. Positions. Coach, they really challenge us at practice hard. I was just a result of it. When it's growing like that, what does it feel like being in the mix with the heavyweight? It's us. When you work hard for something and you're able to see what comes out of it, there's no better feeling than that. Hi, Graham. Can you put the portion in the middle? Can you adjust your hand? It's about putting it in your waist. No, I mean, I was really funny to see it. Thank you. Thank you. Take a look at that. What has Seth been watching you guys for the first two games? What's it been like playing next to him for the last two? He's really calm and stormy.

5:45:11You never see real panic and having a guy like that met him and you're having really played as many meetings for snaps. There's no one outside of the other apps in my left and some in the right. For our handset. Those guys, they do so much for this offensive hotout. People have talked about his intelligence really showing up in the film or on the field. Where have you noticed that intelligence and how has that helped you? Yeah, like I said, in French time, you know, when things are exactly looking like how we practice it, you know, having a guy like that that will slow down. We'll do this, this, this, and then we execute it. Having a guy like that like this, there's none better than that. Hero? What's your got?

5:46:11What's my favorite cake? No. Right, brother. Uh-huh, no, that. I almost came back to the coblison of this and more. I'm just looking at Marshall. They got a couple guys with a deep experience of the world. They have big tin bodies. Absolutely. What do you see when you look at their tape and see 15, 7, a couple of those guys are pretty big. Yeah, those guys here, they're real players. They're real players. And so they're coached well. You can sell them. They go hard, you know, they're real players over there. We've been practicing to the best of our abilities, you know, and expect that. And I'm prepared for that. You see, they've been for GTX last year. The other day, they're taking the look. Yeah, they play a 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.

5:47:14You can sell, they come out there with the mentality like no matter who's in front of us or when it won't happen. I mean, the actions right there right in front of you right now, which is kind of a good thing and kind of a bet. And you should shake off the rest, you know, hitting back in it inside. Can you talk to your coach? Yeah, I mean, I hear from Chris every once in a while trying to not to bother him too much, but it's always good to hear from him. It's always good to hear from Gal like that, guys like the one, even Matt Jones would turn him back. All right, Tiger, thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you. This is the way I'm awesome. Three of us took the rules. Thank you. Then for this year, just be able to confront that job. We've all been skills down the lead. I think it's a lot of things. My weight, my height, my weight.

5:48:14Just my height, my weight, my weight. I'm fast on my feet. Sometimes like basketball or just depend on the status of your class. Exactly. I feel like these two can answer that for the beer right now. I can't see it on a field. I'm not just waiting. You're not going to have to stop. You can see the proof in that again.

5:49:14If you were to spot us around, or I'll be like, he's not like a coach, man. He's not like a coach. Chick-hell is in full exchange. You're mine. About maybe like the idea of tackle versus Darwin. Because obviously his offensive predilectionals were like, yeah, the offensive blind play, when they... Has he been a part of me settling in the guard? I want to say maybe, I don't know, but I mean, when I first heard he got the job, I was really excited because I'm one of those guys who's the tempo. I can run with the tempo. I mean, I'm playing basketball all like the seventh 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 football like 65 yards, but can you kick a football, 75 yards, and think of this? Tell me a question. Lincoln, what was your question? I was your... You're a roommate at the community. He's a blessing, man. I can't complain. He's a great guy. What's his name? His name's Lincoln. Clean Holes. Oh, he's a cleaner.

5:50:16I think we're both really clean. That's why we try to pick each other's roommates because we're very clean and we don't like our burdens really messy. Well, it's true though. It's true. They're both pretty clean, so. Luke, are you still a cross-training at Tag Goal Sombra or have you just been all guard this break? So far, I've been all guard. I really don't know. Like I said, I'm taking it practice by practice. I could end up being back at Tag Goal Sombra, but now I'm just really focused in on this past practice and the next one is... What if he... Yeah. Oh, that mean a lot. You put a lot of work in to play here. It's been a dream just for being in Ohio. I'm from Ohio. Kids perspective. I mean, that's the biggest switch possible, I would have thought it would be pretty cool. What was it like to last year at first game getting on the field for the first time in the back? It didn't feel like... This could be a weird answer, but it... I feel like I was playing a game that made sense. I was pretty locked in. I felt like just no anxiousness, no stress, no nothing.

5:51:17I 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. I was like, what would you feel there? Getting out there at Indiana. I was like, honestly, I don't know. I felt less nervous than I did in high school. It makes no sense. What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? I think it's that. A lot. I mean, I'm learning from Josh N. Austin. I think Friars is one of my biggest role models here. He's my big brother in my first game. I'm up to D. I don't know. This is the D. Okay. Yeah, no. Yeah. I'm just going to, I mean, all three of them. Those are my roommates and they're progressing every day as well. I'm excited to see where they can get to. I'm excited to play on the field with them. Oh, yeah. You know, I've been really helpful. You know, just keep in my mind just settled and straightforward on the next play. What do you think of the biggest success? It's a great question. Like I said, I mean, I just need to stay consistent in my work.

5:52:21I think that's the biggest thing for me. It's just taking consistent in my work. To my game. And I was like, whoa, I never had that happen. Like no other school, like just Ohio State field can't win. And I was like, wow, that's crazy. Do you like, I mean, I do quite, but also do you like that? Do you want everything that comes to mind? Do you like what you want? I do, but at the same time, I 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, I was going to describe this guy 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's your competitive part of you? What did that, when did you know to set up your style? Oh, I've been having that. I mean, since I was like eight, nine years old, you haven't, you mean, just high-end house rate, just to be competitive. That's the reason why chose to come to Ohio State. Just to compete each and every day, just to go against the best DB group in the country. What you're saying is if it's in hands in the last several months, I mean, you want to just, it's been an accident, then it's a burnt, et cetera.

5:53:22Oh, yeah, for sure. Just going to get to the best two DBs in the country. I mean, that's the reason I came here. This is going to get to God just because it made me better each and every day. Yesterday, when he went out playing the right zone, he went nuts. He didn't say a word. And then the two plays later, you call it, I'm more in the squad, I'm in the team. You didn't say word better. I said, I said, well, he said, when he defed the ball, he said, I'm here, I said, okay, I'm going to be back. And that's something to be back at the moment. I'm going to be able to play. I just walked off. That's it. When you're caught the ball, I said, I told him, I'm coming back, right? What's it like to be back to the car now, say, you're going to be back to the ball. It feels great just us two to be on the third together. We've got to make a lot of plays this year. What are you learning about the ball? I learned a lot, especially from Carnel, because we both play outside. So, he just learned it 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 adding,

5:54:23you know, you've heard what you first got. I said my footwork, that's the biggest game. CalSheezone CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalSheez 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 CalSheez lose money. That's CalShe, in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more.
