0:22
Speaker 1: bonus episode of the Bucke Hddle primetime show. Chuck host
0:25
Speaker 1: that twice a week Mondays and Thursdays, always does a
0:28
Speaker 1: good job with that. This week one of his shows
0:31
Speaker 1: talked about Mylin Graham, the former o High state wide receiver,
0:33
Speaker 1: had some interesting comments at his new home of Notre
0:36
Speaker 1: Dame about the differences between Ohio State and Notre Dame
0:39
Speaker 1: as a football player. Juck talked about that and a
0:41
Speaker 1: bunch of other things. Thought you guys would enjoy that.
0:43
Speaker 1: So here's Chuck on the Buckeye Hddle primetime podcast.
0:48
Speaker 2: Hey it's Chuck. We are not bemoaning the noon kickoff.
0:51
Speaker 2: We're now owning it. It's a badge of honor. We're
0:53
Speaker 2: the lunatic fringe that defines our coaches legacy when it
0:56
Speaker 2: comes to this game. They don't get to define that
0:58
Speaker 2: outside the family who we're cut from, the different cloth.
1:00
Speaker 2: Bro Hiowans, he's got it all, man, He's even got
1:02
Speaker 2: the jaw. You know the jaw. You see that jaw
1:05
Speaker 2: and you're just like, yeah, man, that's a that's a dude.
1:08
Speaker 2: Do I want Michigan to beat Oklahoma? No way in hell.
1:11
Speaker 2: I don't know what world I'm living in. This is
1:13
Speaker 2: insane to me. And if you saw my outburst, I apologize.
1:16
Speaker 2: It's showtime now, Hey, welcome in a buckeyehuddle, prime time.
1:24
Speaker 2: Appreciate you so much for joining me. It is, in
1:26
Speaker 2: fact showtime. And we are patiently waiting, guys, patiently waiting
1:31
Speaker 2: for spring to start. And I can't wait. We're basically
1:35
Speaker 2: in the slowest time for college football right now. There's
1:39
Speaker 2: just not a ton happening. And that's why when a
1:41
Speaker 2: little story breaks, we got to talk about it. And
1:44
Speaker 2: tonight we dive into a little bit about our friends
1:47
Speaker 2: to the west, Notre Dame. And as I'm sitting here
1:49
Speaker 2: talking to my my buddies in the chat here. Our
1:52
Speaker 2: buddy Buckeye Freak has got Rudy. He's got to picture
1:55
Speaker 2: of Rudy with with the Ohio state logo on it,
1:59
Speaker 2: which is funny in at pro po for tonight's talk.
2:02
Speaker 2: But we're also talking tight ends. I've also got a
2:04
Speaker 2: little bit of a film to show you tonight, and
2:08
Speaker 2: I think we're going to talk about the wide receivers
2:09
Speaker 2: a bit too. I delved into that a little bit
2:11
Speaker 2: earlier on today's Chuck on Bucks Show, but I want
2:15
Speaker 2: to reiterate some of the points I made there. Notre
2:18
Speaker 2: Dame the absolute most intolerable, insufferable fan base in the
2:23
Speaker 2: entire country. I can't stand them. I really can't take
2:26
Speaker 2: them now because they're doing good and they're getting better,
2:30
Speaker 2: and they've got a competent coach, of course, a Buckeye.
2:33
Speaker 2: I think we might actually have the makings of a
2:36
Speaker 2: potential playoff rivalry coming after meeting in the National Championship
2:40
Speaker 2: last year, maybe a battle for supremacy in the Midwest.
2:44
Speaker 2: When we talk about the Midwest right now and the
2:47
Speaker 2: changing landscape of college football, like looking at the next
2:50
Speaker 2: five years, could we potentially be living in an era
2:55
Speaker 2: where the next five years of football, between the five
2:58
Speaker 2: programs of Ohio State, Indiana, Notre Dame, Michigan, and Penn State,
3:05
Speaker 2: we have the most condensed powerful football footprint we've ever seen.
3:11
Speaker 2: I mean, I think if you just have four of them,
3:13
Speaker 2: you already got the three national championships in the circle,
3:16
Speaker 2: you know, the little circle, the three national championships in
3:19
Speaker 2: a row. What if Notre Dame wins one in the
3:22
Speaker 2: next two years. I kind of think if Notre Dame
3:26
Speaker 2: were to win one in the next couple of years,
3:29
Speaker 2: then that would, right there be officially the most dominant
3:32
Speaker 2: little circle you've ever seen ever in the history of
3:34
Speaker 2: college football. Four teams, you know, you can go back
3:38
Speaker 2: and look at Georgia, Bama, LSU were the three consistent
3:44
Speaker 2: teams that were up at the top in the SEC.
3:46
Speaker 2: And then you'd have an Auburn here and they'd be
3:48
Speaker 2: up and down, or Florida Florida here, they'd be up
3:50
Speaker 2: and down. What if four of the five programs of
3:54
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Indiana, Michigan, Notre Dame, and even Penn State,
4:00
Speaker 2: what if all five of them were good at the
4:02
Speaker 2: same time, certainly something we've never seen. I think we can.
4:07
Speaker 2: When we look at the hirings at Michigan and at
4:09
Speaker 2: Penn State, I think through no no pat on the
4:12
Speaker 2: back to them, like they both just kind of lucked
4:14
Speaker 2: into what I think are really good hires for those programs.
4:18
Speaker 2: Michigan just hired a new AD they or a new GM.
4:21
Speaker 2: They fired their GM, brought it a new guy. They're
4:25
Speaker 2: going to be all in on roster construction. Penn State's
4:28
Speaker 2: the one that while I really like Matt Campbell as
4:30
Speaker 2: a coach, I'm not so sure with how he's building
4:33
Speaker 2: the program. He seems to be using the same strategy
4:38
Speaker 2: as he used at Iowa State, and I get it.
4:40
Speaker 2: Thing is, you don't have to at Penn State. You
4:43
Speaker 2: can shoot higher and we'll see if he adjusted all
4:46
Speaker 2: with that. But the power in the big ten in
4:50
Speaker 2: general is one thing. And we look at this little
4:52
Speaker 2: dot of the country Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan State, Notre Dame.
5:02
Speaker 2: This could really be something we've never seen before. And
5:06
Speaker 2: you know, I'm here for it so long as we
5:08
Speaker 2: remain number one. Notre Dame. To me, how big of
5:13
Speaker 2: a threat are they amongst all those teams? Because I
5:16
Speaker 2: sit here and I go through number one. The recruiting
5:19
Speaker 2: class they just wrapped up had five five stars. Marcus
5:22
Speaker 2: Freeman is getting full financial support. There's no doubt about that,
5:26
Speaker 2: and he has made it clear that he can absolutely
5:29
Speaker 2: recruit at Notre Dame in a way that many people
5:32
Speaker 2: thought was not going to be possible anymore, not in
5:35
Speaker 2: this era, not in the Brian Kelly era. Brian Kelly
5:38
Speaker 2: threw in the towel said, you know, you can't do
5:40
Speaker 2: here what I can do at LSU recruiting wise, so
5:43
Speaker 2: I can't win here. Marcus Freeman has made that a
5:47
Speaker 2: moot point. You absolutely can five flipping five stars in
5:51
Speaker 2: their class in their dogs, absolute dogs, and that team's
5:57
Speaker 2: going to continue to get better. You look at their
5:58
Speaker 2: portal class. Obviously, they bring in the two Buckeye Wide receivers.
6:02
Speaker 2: Now we know more about them than anybody else, and
6:04
Speaker 2: one of them featured in tonight's show. I don't think
6:08
Speaker 2: Milon Graham is some huge prize. I think Quincy Porter is.
6:11
Speaker 2: I think Quincy Porter is going to be a dog there.
6:15
Speaker 2: They also bring in Keelon Keeley or Kean Keeley, and
6:18
Speaker 2: you know quite a few other guys who were really
6:21
Speaker 2: highly ranked who haven't quite turned out to be what
6:24
Speaker 2: we thought they might be coming out of high school.
6:26
Speaker 2: Just a ton of talent, an absolute ton of talent.
6:30
Speaker 2: And when we look at the history between Ohio State
6:32
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame, you got the old timey games in
6:34
Speaker 2: the thirties, then we got the series in the nineties,
6:38
Speaker 2: and then our most recent home and home with them
6:41
Speaker 2: and the National championship game. You know, that's a lot
6:45
Speaker 2: of games recently that we've played against them. To be honest,
6:48
Speaker 2: of course, we've won them all. The last one started
6:52
Speaker 2: to get close in the second half. You had the
6:55
Speaker 2: Marcus with the ten men on the field. One he
6:59
Speaker 2: was still learning at that point. But could we be
7:02
Speaker 2: seeing potentially the start of something between Ohio State and
7:05
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. Their fans really want it, They're really trying
7:08
Speaker 2: to get under our skin. They've successfully done it with
7:10
Speaker 2: me programs number one and four on the all time
7:14
Speaker 2: juck On Bucks college football program rankings. We were number one.
7:18
Speaker 2: Of course they're number four. But Lou Holtz got under
7:23
Speaker 2: Ryan Day's skin, and ever since he kind of made
7:26
Speaker 2: that declaration, it's felt a little different between Ohio State
7:29
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame. Actually was the year before with their
7:32
Speaker 2: dirty hits on Jackson Smith and Jigba. But Mylon Graham
7:36
Speaker 2: added to it this week, added to the arrogant fan base,
7:40
Speaker 2: gave him some more talking points. And you know, the
7:45
Speaker 2: other day, the difference between an Ohio State or the
7:50
Speaker 2: difference between Ohio State and Notre Dame, like from an
7:52
Speaker 2: academic perspective, is it's not even comparable, right, But Notre
7:59
Speaker 2: Dame fans love to talk about this. They love to
8:02
Speaker 2: talk about the academics of this school, and they love
8:06
Speaker 2: to pretend like it's comparing a small Catholic school is
8:12
Speaker 2: the same as a massive land grant university with a
8:17
Speaker 2: fifty thousand student population. Number one, It's nowhere near the same.
8:23
Speaker 2: They're really the only fan base in the country that
8:26
Speaker 2: talks crap about their school curriculum about a school, mind you,
8:31
Speaker 2: a school that most of them didn't go to, very
8:35
Speaker 2: few of them could have ever gotten in. But they
8:37
Speaker 2: like to talk crap about it. They're the only ones
8:39
Speaker 2: that do this, and it's so weird. But Milon Graham
8:42
Speaker 2: was asked the other day by a couple of reporters
8:45
Speaker 2: when he was given his press conference. He was asked
8:47
Speaker 2: about the differences between Ohio State academic wise and school wise,
8:51
Speaker 2: because they love this. They know their fan base feeds
8:54
Speaker 2: off this, and they want to hear him say what
8:56
Speaker 2: he said. Now my personal opinion, and I'll let you
9:00
Speaker 2: I don't think he was trying to take a shot.
9:04
Speaker 2: I think he was very you know, he's talking about
9:08
Speaker 2: going to class in person. Here's here's what he said.
9:15
Speaker 3: Transition. Yeah, not too different. Just have to actually go
9:18
Speaker 3: in Person's just stuff like that, and in nor day
9:22
Speaker 3: obviously everybody knows how his academics, so just being able
9:25
Speaker 3: to lock in with stuff like that, you.
9:28
Speaker 2: Have to go in person, he says. So that's his comment,
9:32
Speaker 2: And it didn't feel to me like he was trying
9:36
Speaker 2: to take a shot. Because to him, or to any
9:39
Speaker 2: of these kids his age who went to school through
9:43
Speaker 2: COVID where they were taking classes online for two years
9:46
Speaker 2: and many of them never went back, many of them
9:49
Speaker 2: finished off school like that, there is no difference in
9:52
Speaker 2: their head going to class in person or taking it online.
9:56
Speaker 2: It's the same thing. It's school. The difference is to
10:02
Speaker 2: people my age and in your age and above, who
10:06
Speaker 2: want to pretend like that means your school must suck.
10:09
Speaker 2: Ours is better than yours. We want to laugh at you,
10:13
Speaker 2: but it just gets under my skin from these people
10:17
Speaker 2: with the with the NonStop knows in the air about
10:21
Speaker 2: a school they didn't even go to. Man, Like Carson
10:24
Speaker 2: Beck was asked at the National Championship by some female
10:29
Speaker 2: reporter asked him what it was like for him on campus,
10:33
Speaker 2: like basically ask him, like, what's it like at school?
10:36
Speaker 2: You know, the starting quarterback and the National Championship game
10:39
Speaker 2: with the other kids, And of course he said, I
10:43
Speaker 2: graduated two years ago from Georgia. I saw a lot
10:47
Speaker 2: of people all indignant, like college football's done. I thought
10:51
Speaker 2: the funniest thing about that question was that this reporter
10:54
Speaker 2: actually thought that the three million dollars a year quarterback
10:59
Speaker 2: was going to class, was going and sitting in economics
11:03
Speaker 2: in the actual classroom, listening to a lecture. Who thinks
11:06
Speaker 2: that's happening. I hate to break it to you, that's
11:10
Speaker 2: not happening. This is in nineteen ninety seven. I liked
11:14
Speaker 2: it when football players were part of the campus life.
11:18
Speaker 2: I thought that was unique to college football. I liked it.
11:22
Speaker 2: It isn't that way anymore, man, It's just not. There
11:25
Speaker 2: are very few schools where there is the million dollar
11:29
Speaker 2: football player sitting in class. It's just not like that.
11:34
Speaker 2: He didn't come there for an education. He chose his
11:37
Speaker 2: program based on football. He is a student athlete by
11:41
Speaker 2: designation only. He's a professional football player. He's an employee.
11:45
Speaker 2: Whether or not they want to call him that or not,
11:47
Speaker 2: we all know that that's what they are. They're employees
11:51
Speaker 2: of the football team. They're there to play football, and
11:55
Speaker 2: they have the opportunity to make the most out of
11:57
Speaker 2: their education, and they also have to clear some hurdles
12:02
Speaker 2: to keep themselves eligible. That's the way they all look
12:05
Speaker 2: at it, and that's how it is at every big
12:07
Speaker 2: program around the country. But there are some that are
12:11
Speaker 2: a little different. There's some that are a little different.
12:13
Speaker 2: Notre Dame is one of them. And Notre Dame if
12:17
Speaker 2: you're a kid who is into a small campus life
12:22
Speaker 2: and you might want to go to a small Catholic
12:24
Speaker 2: college run by priests, really takes school serious. Tons of
12:30
Speaker 2: Ohio State football players take school serious. Tons do. I'm
12:34
Speaker 2: not saying they don't. What I'm saying is it's not
12:38
Speaker 2: for everybody. And some of these guys at this level
12:41
Speaker 2: are just now pros man. They're pro football players. That's
12:44
Speaker 2: what they are. Everywhere, but Notre Dame, small student body,
12:49
Speaker 2: totally different type of university, way different than Ohio STATEIA.
12:54
Speaker 2: There couldn't be a more different conversation. We're talking about
12:56
Speaker 2: colleges here, and some guys are drawn to that intimate
13:01
Speaker 2: campus lifestyle at Notre Dame and their little secret societies
13:06
Speaker 2: which they have. You know, I often talk about Ohio
13:09
Speaker 2: State football players, like if you come to Ohio State,
13:12
Speaker 2: you perform at Ohio State, you make memories for the
13:14
Speaker 2: Ohio State fan base. As an Ohio State football player,
13:16
Speaker 2: you are set for life in the state of Ohio.
13:19
Speaker 2: You can get a job anywhere, you can start whatever
13:22
Speaker 2: company you want, insurance agency, whatever it is, and you're
13:24
Speaker 2: gonna be successful. You're gonna get taken care of. It's
13:28
Speaker 2: the same way at Notre Dame, same way, only they
13:33
Speaker 2: do it with a lot of arrogance, in smugness and
13:37
Speaker 2: talk about the law firms you can get into and
13:40
Speaker 2: things of this nature. It's just everything's about putting on
13:43
Speaker 2: errors and everything's about this feeling of superiority that I
13:48
Speaker 2: understand from the alumnus. I understand them acting like that.
13:53
Speaker 2: I despise people acting like that, but I can understand
13:56
Speaker 2: it if you invested. You chose to invest that kind
13:59
Speaker 2: of money into your college education, and you want to
14:02
Speaker 2: feel superior in act like that. I get it. I
14:06
Speaker 2: don't get it from fans around the country. That's what
14:09
Speaker 2: I don't get. I don't get it at all. Listen,
14:14
Speaker 2: I've been immersed in Notre Dame. I probably know more
14:16
Speaker 2: Notre Dame history than most of their fans. I'm a
14:19
Speaker 2: Catholic school kid, Italian Catholic family ton of Notre Dame
14:23
Speaker 2: fans that went to a high school named the Fighting Irish.
14:28
Speaker 2: My rival high school was founded by the Brothers of
14:31
Speaker 2: the Holy Cross who founded Notre Dame. My grandmother, Rosena Demico,
14:36
Speaker 2: dated a boy named Ara Parsisan at Akronsouth High School.
14:39
Speaker 2: Like I'm into, I get it. I get everything about
14:42
Speaker 2: Notre Dame fandom. None of my people are like this.
14:47
Speaker 2: But Twitter has exposed me to this. The Internet has
14:50
Speaker 2: exposed me to this sect of Notre Dame fan that
14:54
Speaker 2: is constantly with this academic thing. And you all are
14:59
Speaker 2: our phonies in your players are frauds, and our kids
15:02
Speaker 2: go to school and they jumped on this Mile and
15:05
Speaker 2: Graham thing and I think they turned it into something
15:09
Speaker 2: that he didn't want it to be. I don't think
15:11
Speaker 2: he meant it to be a shot at all, and
15:13
Speaker 2: they're trying to make it sound like he was taking
15:15
Speaker 2: a shot, and it makes him look bad. By the way.
15:19
Speaker 2: He has no reason to take a shot at Ohia State,
15:21
Speaker 2: no reason whatsoever. He left. He went and did what
15:24
Speaker 2: he wanted to do. Nobody treated him bad at Ohio State.
15:28
Speaker 2: If anything, Ohio State should feel bad. He should have
15:31
Speaker 2: produced a little more. He should have been ready last
15:33
Speaker 2: year to go in the game and produce and not
15:36
Speaker 2: get passed over by a walk on, you know what
15:38
Speaker 2: I mean. I went to the National Championship game in
15:41
Speaker 2: Miami and after the twenty twelve season, Notre Dame Alabama,
15:48
Speaker 2: and I had known Notre Dame fans all my life, right,
15:51
Speaker 2: I don't know any Alabama fans seeing them together in
15:55
Speaker 2: the city, in the bars on the beaches, like there
15:59
Speaker 2: could not have been two different fan bases. And the
16:03
Speaker 2: cool ones were the Alabama fans. The rude ones, the
16:07
Speaker 2: ones getting kicked out of the bars, the ones with
16:10
Speaker 2: the ego talking all the crap and they're gonna kill
16:12
Speaker 2: Alabama and they would have beat Ohio State too. It
16:15
Speaker 2: was all the Notre Dame fans, and I'm telling you, man,
16:20
Speaker 2: I hate him more than anything, and seeing them get
16:22
Speaker 2: good is the last thing I wanted to see. But
16:24
Speaker 2: they're good. They're here, and we got to deal with
16:26
Speaker 2: them now. I wouldn't be surprised that there's a little
16:29
Speaker 2: rivalry sparking here, a little bit of a rivalry sparking,
16:33
Speaker 2: because now they got the quarterback. CJ. Carr is a dude.
16:36
Speaker 2: There's people who think he may be one of the
16:38
Speaker 2: best quarterbacks they've ever had there. And it's interesting, you know,
16:43
Speaker 2: when I talk about the school, you know, not going
16:46
Speaker 2: to the school, but having this arrogance about the education.
16:51
Speaker 2: Totally different with the argument that oh, people who are
16:54
Speaker 2: fans of his school that didn't go there or like
16:58
Speaker 2: less than I don't believe in that at all. Comes
17:00
Speaker 2: to state pride and residing in a community and donating
17:05
Speaker 2: to these land grand institutions to get them started. Like
17:08
Speaker 2: that's how college football was born. Our boys are going
17:11
Speaker 2: to beat their boys from the state next door. That's
17:14
Speaker 2: what it was. Notre Dame's case was in the fabric
17:18
Speaker 2: of a religion, right Catholics. It was huge. I was
17:22
Speaker 2: an altar boy, the bar in the monastery was all
17:26
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, you know what I mean, Like, it's really
17:28
Speaker 2: really big in the Catholic community and it's a source
17:31
Speaker 2: of pride, and that's great. I love all that. I'm
17:36
Speaker 2: good with that. But this constant better than you stuff. Man.
17:40
Speaker 2: It's worse than Michigan, it really is. And Michigan's bad,
17:46
Speaker 2: as you know, with the nose in the air stuff.
17:49
Speaker 2: It is way worse at Notre Dame. These guys are
17:51
Speaker 2: just horrible. But the modern football player, the modern college
17:55
Speaker 2: football player, nobody cares at all. If they go to class,
17:59
Speaker 2: nobody cares. We all get the deal, and most of
18:03
Speaker 2: us didn't want it to be like this, but you know,
18:05
Speaker 2: it is what it is. So my criticism has nothing
18:09
Speaker 2: to do with Milon Graham, nothing to do with the
18:12
Speaker 2: innocent thing he said that I don't think was a
18:14
Speaker 2: shot at all. My criticism is with the adults that
18:19
Speaker 2: put it on him like he was taking a shot.
18:22
Speaker 2: And my criticism is on adults that act that way
18:24
Speaker 2: in general. It's just it's awful. It's got no place
18:28
Speaker 2: in sports talk. It's ridiculous, and it also puts down
18:33
Speaker 2: a lot of guys at a school like Ohio State
18:36
Speaker 2: or any other school who do take their education seriously, because,
18:39
Speaker 2: as we all know, you get out what you put in.
18:42
Speaker 2: It's all there for you to your disposal. If you
18:45
Speaker 2: want to go get it like that, you can go
18:46
Speaker 2: get it like that. And a lot of them do,
18:51
Speaker 2: a lot of them do. Not all of them do,
18:52
Speaker 2: and they don't have to. They don't have to. They
18:55
Speaker 2: got to do the bare minimum. They're you know, in
18:58
Speaker 2: a lot of cases, going to play professional sports, and
19:02
Speaker 2: in a lot of look, let's be honest here, in
19:05
Speaker 2: the last several years, we've seen a whole lot of
19:08
Speaker 2: wasted college educations and people who are very much remorseful
19:12
Speaker 2: about their decision. You know, it wasn't until my age
19:16
Speaker 2: group was going through school that it was pushed on
19:18
Speaker 2: everybody that you all need to go to college. Well
19:21
Speaker 2: that's kind of been going on for a while now,
19:23
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, we look in it's nothing
19:26
Speaker 2: but old dudes and all the trades, nothing but old
19:29
Speaker 2: guys that the younger generation felt they were too good
19:32
Speaker 2: for those jobs. It was a bad thing. It was
19:34
Speaker 2: a bad thing, and acting like only going to college
19:37
Speaker 2: is the only way you can be successful is wrong.
19:40
Speaker 2: Shortsighted and haughty as it is. Anyway, that's my spiel
19:45
Speaker 2: on that. Let's talk about tight ends and wide receivers
19:48
Speaker 2: and the tight ends last year it wasn't really all
19:54
Speaker 2: their fault, but man, it was one of the more
19:57
Speaker 2: frustrating seasons we've seen with one position group. To me,
20:01
Speaker 2: the tight ends constantly on the field, and in theory,
20:05
Speaker 2: putting more tight ends on the field creates more gaps,
20:08
Speaker 2: more gaps the defense needs to defend. It also pulls
20:12
Speaker 2: more defenders close to the ball. So now instead of
20:14
Speaker 2: just relying on your five offensive linemen, you're relying on
20:18
Speaker 2: your five offensive linemen and your couple of two three
20:20
Speaker 2: tight ends to make their blocks. One of them screws
20:23
Speaker 2: up your plays cooked. And if a couple of your
20:26
Speaker 2: tight ends aren't the greatest blockers, the odds are better
20:30
Speaker 2: that your play is cooked. And that's a bad thing.
20:33
Speaker 2: It's a bad thing. It's a bad thing when your
20:36
Speaker 2: most talented receiving tight end is not a very good blocker,
20:40
Speaker 2: which Max Claire slowly improved throughout the season, but it
20:44
Speaker 2: never was quite there the way it needed to be.
20:47
Speaker 2: Or when you've got another freshman tight end who you've
20:50
Speaker 2: stuffed at full back most of the year, played half
20:53
Speaker 2: a snaps at full back or one. Another is a
20:56
Speaker 2: fourth year guy who is walk on caliber and you
21:00
Speaker 2: got him out there playing two hundred and fifty snaps.
21:03
Speaker 2: Sometimes you get more than the some of the parts
21:06
Speaker 2: out of a group. I actually think last year, when
21:08
Speaker 2: we look at the some of the parts, the individual
21:11
Speaker 2: players in that tight end room, you got less than
21:14
Speaker 2: the sum of the parts, less than the some of
21:17
Speaker 2: the parts. You had Max Claire catch forty some balls.
21:22
Speaker 2: You remember the excitement for Max Clair coming into Ohio
21:24
Speaker 2: State last offseason. At this time, the excitement for Max
21:28
Speaker 2: Clair was huge. You had guys like Jake but going
21:31
Speaker 2: out there analyzing his films, talking about Ohio State was
21:34
Speaker 2: going to revolutionize their offense. By bringing in a guy
21:36
Speaker 2: like Max Clair. You get Will Kasmerrick. Year two, you
21:41
Speaker 2: had Keenan calling him the best blocking tight end in
21:44
Speaker 2: the game, which I think he backed up pretty damn well.
21:47
Speaker 2: I was surprised at the end of this year that
21:49
Speaker 2: Max Clair went to the NFL. He didn't seem ready
21:53
Speaker 2: to me. Then, of course, you had Jelani Thurman, who
21:57
Speaker 2: played one hundred and thirty three snaps last year, and
22:01
Speaker 2: that was your fifth tight end. You're down five tight
22:03
Speaker 2: ends deep playing one hundred and thirty three. I mean
22:05
Speaker 2: that's a ton of snaps, a ton of snaps. Kasmeric, Bennett,
22:10
Speaker 2: Christian Max Claire all played over two fifty, Nate played
22:15
Speaker 2: one fifty. Just a ton of it. And as we're
22:18
Speaker 2: looking forward at these portal editions, after the losses here
22:23
Speaker 2: losing Jlani, losing Claire, losing Kasmeric, I feel really good
22:30
Speaker 2: about these portal editions. Bringing in Max Williams, who kind
22:33
Speaker 2: of just feels obviously like Kasmeric two point zero in size.
22:39
Speaker 2: Where he's from. It's from Magador, right down the road
22:43
Speaker 2: for me, but Ohio University with two years of eligibility left.
22:46
Speaker 2: Remember year one though Kasmeric wasn't nearly as good of
22:49
Speaker 2: a blocker in year one. But you bring him in
22:54
Speaker 2: and he's your big time blocker. He's your dude, he's
22:56
Speaker 2: your your extension of your tackle who can do a
22:58
Speaker 2: little bit of all. He's not a great athlete. He
23:01
Speaker 2: can catch the ball, caught twenty balls, little awkward running,
23:05
Speaker 2: but he's a load. He's got long arms, he's got
23:08
Speaker 2: the big frame's got the offensive lineman bone structure. You know,
23:11
Speaker 2: what I mean, just big and simpler. Last year, where
23:16
Speaker 2: I thought the some of the parts they didn't live
23:18
Speaker 2: up to it. This year, even though the sum of
23:22
Speaker 2: the parts the pieces might not be as skilled as
23:26
Speaker 2: last year, I actually think that they're in a much
23:29
Speaker 2: better position to succeed bringing in Arthur Smith Hunter Welsing
23:35
Speaker 2: from Northwestern. Hunter Welsing, I think is I think has
23:38
Speaker 2: the potential to be a real dude. I think when
23:41
Speaker 2: we look at Hunter Welsing, we're talking about a guy
23:44
Speaker 2: who is maybe eighty percent the receiver Max Claire is
23:48
Speaker 2: and quite a bit better blocker, which I think is
23:51
Speaker 2: the proper balance that you want for what they're trying
23:54
Speaker 2: to do with tight ends. And Arthur Smith is a
23:57
Speaker 2: tight end guy. But it was clear when they hired
24:01
Speaker 2: Arthur and when they took these two tight ends in
24:03
Speaker 2: the portal, which I don't think any of us were expecting.
24:05
Speaker 2: You know, we saw him ad Max Williams like Okay,
24:09
Speaker 2: got another tight end, a veteran tight end, why not?
24:11
Speaker 2: And then when they got well seeing it was like,
24:13
Speaker 2: oh no, we're doing this again. Huh, We're doing this again.
24:18
Speaker 2: And my hope is that this year doing this again,
24:23
Speaker 2: it's going to be the aha. I see what he
24:28
Speaker 2: meant to do. Okay, I see what it was supposed
24:30
Speaker 2: to be all last year, right, because we're gonna now
24:33
Speaker 2: see it executed the way Ryan Day envisioned it working,
24:37
Speaker 2: which it certainly did not last year. They just kept
24:41
Speaker 2: running it out there, banging their head against the wall,
24:45
Speaker 2: and that's certainly what it felt like a lot of
24:47
Speaker 2: the time. But you could do that, right. You could
24:51
Speaker 2: do it because your schedule allowed for it. It does
24:54
Speaker 2: not this year. Some offensive performances last year that would
24:58
Speaker 2: not have cut it if you were going against the
25:01
Speaker 2: schedule that they got this year. But Hunter Welson, I'm
25:05
Speaker 2: very impressed by this is the seventh year dude out
25:07
Speaker 2: of Northwestern seventh year improved from his fifth year to
25:13
Speaker 2: his sixth year. Will he improved from his sixth to
25:16
Speaker 2: his seventh because he only graded out as a fifty
25:20
Speaker 2: run blocker on PFF, which is not a great grade
25:23
Speaker 2: but little inconsistent. So was Kasmiri or so was Claire.
25:29
Speaker 2: I think ultimately he'll be a much better blocker than Claire.
25:32
Speaker 2: He's definitely bigger and better put together. But twenty seven
25:36
Speaker 2: catches and he had some explosive ones listen to this.
25:39
Speaker 2: We got a thirty six yarder, a twenty eight yarder
25:42
Speaker 2: twenty two, fifteen, fifteen seventeen. I've watched the way he
25:47
Speaker 2: can toward his body to catch make some catches, and
25:50
Speaker 2: he's definitely an athlete. He's an athletic kid. Four catches
25:54
Speaker 2: against Michigan for eighty one yards. He had four against Illinois,
25:58
Speaker 2: four against Louisiana, roe against Minnesota. Not a substitute for
26:03
Speaker 2: Claire catching the ball, but adds a lot of that.
26:07
Speaker 2: So if you get eighty percent of Claire's receptions from Welson,
26:12
Speaker 2: and then you've got the thing with Claire's I only
26:17
Speaker 2: thought Claire was about two hundred and thirty five pound
26:19
Speaker 2: guy tops, like two thirty five. No way, he was
26:22
Speaker 2: bigger than that. Like when I saw him in person,
26:24
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, okay, here's why Jeremiah was saying that,
26:28
Speaker 2: Like it looked like a pencil neck. Remember Jeremiah said
26:31
Speaker 2: he didn't have that dog when he first came. I
26:34
Speaker 2: couldn't imagine what he looked like when he first came,
26:36
Speaker 2: Like that's a tight end, I don't think so it
26:39
Speaker 2: looked like a really slow wide receiver. But then you
26:41
Speaker 2: got Bennett Christian back for year five. Now, Bennett played
26:44
Speaker 2: over two hundred steps last year, the lowest rated guy
26:47
Speaker 2: on the offense. I thought that we were going to
26:51
Speaker 2: see some improvement from Bennett. From twenty twenty four to
26:54
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. It almost looked like it went backwards. Man,
26:57
Speaker 2: it was not a good year for Bennett. Now he's
27:00
Speaker 2: kind of the captain of your room, right, he's the
27:02
Speaker 2: voice in your room. I saw him playing guitar and
27:04
Speaker 2: the Buckeye Cruise for cancer the other night, which is cool.
27:09
Speaker 2: Can he take a step up? How much will he
27:11
Speaker 2: be playing? He'll certainly be behind Nate Roberts, who played
27:15
Speaker 2: fifty fifty percent of his snaps at full back last year.
27:20
Speaker 2: And I think now with Nate, I think Nate is
27:24
Speaker 2: kind of the perfect balance of what you want in
27:26
Speaker 2: the tight end. He's big, he's heavy, he can block,
27:29
Speaker 2: but he can move. He's got long arms, he's kind
27:33
Speaker 2: of got that tackle bone structure. Just a large, large man.
27:38
Speaker 2: And when's the last time we saw a freshman getting
27:41
Speaker 2: that kind of love Like Nate was not someone that
27:45
Speaker 2: you needed, you know what I mean? You kind of
27:47
Speaker 2: needed Bow. It was clear Bow was the best Okay,
27:50
Speaker 2: we need you out there. You didn't need Nate. You
27:53
Speaker 2: did not need him. They really wanted him out there.
27:57
Speaker 2: They wanted to make him the guy in the full
27:58
Speaker 2: back roll. Wanted to get him out there for seventy
28:01
Speaker 2: five extra STAPs at tight end ahead of Jelani, knowing
28:04
Speaker 2: Jelanni would probably transfer, and they did it anyway. And
28:09
Speaker 2: when you see them show that kind of love do
28:11
Speaker 2: a player, it makes you think, Okay, there we go.
28:15
Speaker 2: If they're that convinced about it, I am too. I
28:18
Speaker 2: already was. But keep in mind, Nate wasn't a slam
28:21
Speaker 2: dunk recruit. Nate was the fourteenth ranked tight end in
28:25
Speaker 2: the country for some reason, and a lot of people
28:28
Speaker 2: feel like this guy was like almost a five star.
28:31
Speaker 2: That's not the case. That wasn't the case at all.
28:36
Speaker 2: So we got Nate coming into his own in his
28:38
Speaker 2: second year. You got third year Max LeBlanc. Now Max
28:43
Speaker 2: LeBlanc extremely important guys, extremely important. Max LeBlanc didn't, I
28:49
Speaker 2: don't think, play a snap last year. But that's fine
28:53
Speaker 2: because it's not important what he does on the field.
28:56
Speaker 2: It's important that he's happy and on the roster. And
28:58
Speaker 2: the reason why is because he is from the Baylor
29:01
Speaker 2: School in Tennessee via Quebec, Quebec, Quebec. I don't know
29:07
Speaker 2: how you say it. I don't know if my French
29:09
Speaker 2: accent was good, but my point is he's in real
29:12
Speaker 2: tight with DGG. DGG is this gentleman here. As you
29:18
Speaker 2: all know, the top running back target goes to the
29:21
Speaker 2: Baylor School from Quebec, speaks French as his native tongue.
29:26
Speaker 2: And having Max LeBlanc on there, who went the same
29:30
Speaker 2: route from Quebec to the Baylor School, very very important
29:35
Speaker 2: for the Buckeyes in their quest to land the look.
29:39
Speaker 2: Some call him the number two running back in the country.
29:42
Speaker 2: I think that's ridiculous. He's way better than common Spell.
29:46
Speaker 2: Maybe not way better, but he's the guy i'd take
29:48
Speaker 2: ten times out of ten. And it's between Tennessee and
29:52
Speaker 2: Ohio State. So Max LeBlanc gonna make it happen. So
29:56
Speaker 2: I made this little cut up here, and I'm playing
29:58
Speaker 2: it because I wanted to show it off because I
30:00
Speaker 2: think it's sick and I always enjoy watching a great
30:03
Speaker 2: running back run, and this dude is a great running back.
30:06
Speaker 2: But there is also another one that I found, the
30:09
Speaker 2: number fourteen rank running back in the country out of
30:13
Speaker 2: a Buffalo area and I just love him. We'll watch
30:16
Speaker 2: him at a later date. But this guy's just ridiculous.
30:20
Speaker 2: So Max LeBlanc big time because of DGG. And then
30:24
Speaker 2: you got Brody Lennon, My dog Brody Northeast, Ohio. Kid
30:28
Speaker 2: Brody is a sick athlete, man, absolutely sick athlete, top
30:33
Speaker 2: end speed. Needs a little more physical maturity, right, needs
30:38
Speaker 2: to get that grown man bone structure. Don't get me wrong,
30:42
Speaker 2: he's well put together, like he's a yoked up young guy,
30:45
Speaker 2: but he's just got to get that tight end girth
30:49
Speaker 2: and he will and when he does, he's going to
30:51
Speaker 2: be a hell of a tight end. Ohio State. He
30:54
Speaker 2: got Nick Latour who comes in as a freshman out
30:58
Speaker 2: of Lebanon, Ohio. And Nick also similar to eight Roberts
31:03
Speaker 2: kind of physically, but maybe just a little bit smaller.
31:06
Speaker 2: I think Nick. In the end it's gonna be like
31:08
Speaker 2: kind of like Max Williams in his physique six five,
31:11
Speaker 2: two seventy once he gets that man strength. So my
31:16
Speaker 2: my gosh, this kid is sick due Look look how
31:20
Speaker 2: long this is. This particular there's one game in here
31:23
Speaker 2: where he rushed for four thirty one against his rival
31:26
Speaker 2: six touchdowns last year four thirty one and six touchdowns.
31:33
Speaker 2: I am not somebody who's like, you got to go
31:35
Speaker 2: all in on a running back because I kind of
31:37
Speaker 2: feel like running backs, you know, what's the what's the
31:40
Speaker 2: win over replacement? How much is one really worth over another?
31:45
Speaker 2: This dude's special. He's just really really special. Also, the
31:49
Speaker 2: type of kid who wants to be coached by Carlos
31:52
Speaker 2: Laughlin is the type of kid I want on my team.
31:55
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. If that's what you choose,
31:58
Speaker 2: if you go that route, it's a tough route, that's
32:01
Speaker 2: what you want. You're made of the right stuff and
32:05
Speaker 2: you can guarantee you're always going to get the best
32:06
Speaker 2: out of a guy like that. So as far as
32:09
Speaker 2: the tight ends go with that crew, bringing in Arthur
32:11
Speaker 2: Williams switching from less gap scheme into a lot more
32:18
Speaker 2: wide zone also going to help big time because these
32:21
Speaker 2: tight ends last year pulling, they just could never identify
32:27
Speaker 2: the right blocks, consistently blew up plays every time they
32:30
Speaker 2: pulled them, and they pulled them a lot, they really did.
32:34
Speaker 2: So when we look at that unit as a whole,
32:38
Speaker 2: my hope is in the reverse order last year, where
32:41
Speaker 2: it wasn't as good as the sum of its parts,
32:43
Speaker 2: you had better players than the tight end room executed.
32:46
Speaker 2: Then they showed this year with Arthur Smith second year
32:51
Speaker 2: Tyler Bone, I think that we see this room outperform
32:57
Speaker 2: the sum of its parts. And as we moved to
32:59
Speaker 2: wide receiver with new wide receiver Cortes Hankton. I don't
33:03
Speaker 2: know if you guys remember, but coming in to the job,
33:07
Speaker 2: a lot of talk made about Cortes Hankton and Cortes
33:11
Speaker 2: Hankton's h acclamation to rotating a lot of his wide receivers.
33:16
Speaker 2: So we heard about this guy, this guy likes to
33:17
Speaker 2: roll his dudes in. All right, well that's great, that's
33:21
Speaker 2: exactly what Brian Hartline wasn't particularly good at. Though in
33:24
Speaker 2: Heartline's defense, usually you got a clear cut top three
33:28
Speaker 2: at Ohio State. Sometimes you got maybe, okay, here's a
33:32
Speaker 2: three four here. Sometimes there's a guy that like, man,
33:35
Speaker 2: you just got to get that guy, get him out there,
33:37
Speaker 2: let him get some reps, let him see what's up,
33:39
Speaker 2: keep him happy. And things have changed, so you want
33:41
Speaker 2: a guy who's going to rotate more. But the LSU
33:44
Speaker 2: fans were kind of saying yeah, yeah, get what you're saying.
33:49
Speaker 2: But this is the type of guy who would have
33:51
Speaker 2: our sixth wide receiver in in a big game, in
33:54
Speaker 2: a big moment because it was his turn. Oh okay,
33:58
Speaker 2: well I understand what you're saying there. I never thought
34:01
Speaker 2: to go back and like look at the information and
34:04
Speaker 2: see if this was actually true. So I went back
34:07
Speaker 2: and looked at twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four, twenty
34:10
Speaker 2: twenty five Ohio state wide receivers versus LSU wide receivers.
34:16
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three, Ohio state wide receivers five of
34:20
Speaker 2: them played over two hundred steps. LSU five of them
34:25
Speaker 2: played over one hundred and fifty steps. In twenty twenty four,
34:30
Speaker 2: LSU had five receivers over one hundred snaps. Ohio State
34:35
Speaker 2: had five over one hundred and fifty snaps. Twenty twenty five,
34:39
Speaker 2: LSU had five over one twenty five. I'm sorry, Ohio
34:43
Speaker 2: State had five over one twenty five. LSU had six
34:46
Speaker 2: over two twenty five. Because they had injuries and apparently
34:50
Speaker 2: a whole lot more passing. They couldn't run the ball, remember,
34:55
Speaker 2: so passed the ball a whole lot more. My point
34:58
Speaker 2: is the stats don't really line up with that claim,
35:01
Speaker 2: so I feel like we might have been a little
35:03
Speaker 2: mislt on that. But when we talk about the wide
35:08
Speaker 2: receivers in this wide receiver room, you know, losing three right,
35:12
Speaker 2: three guys in Mylon Graham, Quincy Porter, Bryson Rodgers to
35:16
Speaker 2: the portal, did you get a guy as good or better? Well?
35:23
Speaker 2: For Quincy Porter, who's an ex you swap out Chris
35:27
Speaker 2: Henry Jr. I think you upgraded there for Milon Graham,
35:30
Speaker 2: who certainly wasn't on track. Bringing in your Quaid and Guildford,
35:33
Speaker 2: I think you upgrade there. And Bryson Rodgers at slot
35:38
Speaker 2: bringing in rock Boyd. To me, that's a better slot,
35:40
Speaker 2: So you upgrade it in all those instances. But they're younger, right,
35:43
Speaker 2: they're freshmen. What about your portal guys? You bring in
35:50
Speaker 2: two portal guys And I had a bit of a
35:54
Speaker 2: mixed impression at first with Devin McEwen. Devin McEwan out
35:57
Speaker 2: of UTSA, he's the guy I think that we're going
36:01
Speaker 2: to ultimately see lined up across from JJ to start
36:04
Speaker 2: the year at Z. He played seventy five percent of
36:08
Speaker 2: his snaps on the outside last year. While he is
36:12
Speaker 2: six foot and has a lot of that. Okay, this guy,
36:16
Speaker 2: he's quick in small spaces. He could be a good slot,
36:20
Speaker 2: a good slot or an explosive slot. And maybe it
36:23
Speaker 2: comes to the point where maybe he's the best for
36:25
Speaker 2: the slot and Chris Henry Jr. Is ready for the Z.
36:29
Speaker 2: Maybe it comes to that. But to start the season
36:34
Speaker 2: with him at Z, I think is probably what we're
36:36
Speaker 2: going to be looking at. And then we go to
36:39
Speaker 2: the slot and you bring in Kyle Parker from LSU.
36:42
Speaker 2: Kyle Parker obviously Cortez Hankton's guy at LSU. I think
36:49
Speaker 2: he caught like twenty four balls last year, just a
36:52
Speaker 2: few less than Brandon Nis, a little bit more yards
36:56
Speaker 2: after yards after catch. His average depth of target was
37:01
Speaker 2: like two yards further downfield than Brandon Innis's. But when
37:06
Speaker 2: we talk about these two guys athletically, I think that
37:09
Speaker 2: is a big match right there. I think it's a
37:11
Speaker 2: big matchup right there, maybe the biggest veteran matchup we
37:14
Speaker 2: have for who's gonna get that starting role, who's gonna
37:18
Speaker 2: play more is Brandon It's in danger just really gonna
37:22
Speaker 2: be a fifty to fifty if is it gonna be
37:24
Speaker 2: a fair match for that spot or is Brandon and
37:28
Speaker 2: it's going to get the benefit of the doubt of
37:29
Speaker 2: being a captain and being a guy who's been around.
37:32
Speaker 2: I don't know, but Brandon Innis, for the hype coming in,
37:39
Speaker 2: certainly hasn't lived up to it. And I was thinking
37:41
Speaker 2: about this when I was putting together my show for
37:44
Speaker 2: it that last year. Around this time, we were talking
37:50
Speaker 2: about not last year, two years ago, A Mecca's decision
37:55
Speaker 2: to come back. A Mecca decides to come back his
37:58
Speaker 2: senior year. There was a lot of people that were like, man,
38:02
Speaker 2: I really like a Mecca, but I kind of wish
38:04
Speaker 2: he would have gone. The reason was Brandon Innis. They thought,
38:09
Speaker 2: all right, I Mecca didn't give me what I really wanted.
38:12
Speaker 2: I bet this guy can because why wouldn't he know
38:15
Speaker 2: He's a five star coming in heartline guy from South Florida.
38:19
Speaker 2: What could go wrong? What could go wrong? Is this
38:22
Speaker 2: guy's got no juice. Man. I defended him all year
38:26
Speaker 2: long as long as I could, because I just kept
38:29
Speaker 2: waiting for it to pop. It's gonna pop at some point, right,
38:32
Speaker 2: But the truth is the game against Penn State two
38:36
Speaker 2: years ago, big win at Penn State, Brandon and has
38:41
Speaker 2: caught a touchdown, comes in catches a touchdown, they swap
38:44
Speaker 2: out the starting three wide receivers and bring in all
38:47
Speaker 2: three backups. So you got Bi, you got Bryson Rogers,
38:51
Speaker 2: and who the hell else was on the field, and
38:54
Speaker 2: b I catches a touchdown and it was like, oh,
38:58
Speaker 2: he's lacking some juice the big time. And it's true
39:03
Speaker 2: and it showed, and he's a great leader. But if
39:09
Speaker 2: you've got another option in Kyle Parker, who was Peyton
39:14
Speaker 2: Pierce's teammate in high school, Peyton told me he is
39:18
Speaker 2: the most competitive dude he's ever known, and he's going
39:21
Speaker 2: to be great for the brotherhood. So he's got that makeup, right,
39:24
Speaker 2: He's got that part, same size, also a very willing blocker.
39:30
Speaker 2: He has noticeably more juice. That's not even up for discussion.
39:36
Speaker 2: I think he could beat him out. Will he get
39:38
Speaker 2: that shot too, We're gonna find out. I think it's
39:40
Speaker 2: more likely that we see those two split snaps in
39:43
Speaker 2: the slot. And then you got your youngsters. Two of
39:47
Speaker 2: the top four wide receivers in the country coming out
39:50
Speaker 2: of high school in these two Jack Quaydon Guilford on
39:55
Speaker 2: the left. This is from this week Chris Henry Junior
39:57
Speaker 2: on the right. Now, Chris Henry listed at six' Five
40:01
Speaker 2: Drew quayton listed at six.' two i think there's more
40:05
Speaker 2: than three inches, difference There but chris is maybe a
40:07
Speaker 2: little closer to, the camera which could throw that off a.
40:10
Speaker 2: Little bit, But uh chris is just AN enormous i
40:15
Speaker 2: honestly think he's sixty. SIX now i don't think he's
40:18
Speaker 2: six y. FIVE anymore i think he's. Sixty six is
40:23
Speaker 2: that dude ready? To go, you know he's Not a jeremiah,
40:29
Speaker 2: level prospect right he wasn't the consensus number one player in.
40:33
Speaker 2: The country, but man if it just a notch, below
40:36
Speaker 2: that that's what. He is what should we be expecting
40:39
Speaker 2: out of a guy like that his freshman year in
40:42
Speaker 2: kind of a wide open wide. Receiver room now he
40:45
Speaker 2: is AN actual x receiver and that's. JJ's SPOT but
40:48
Speaker 2: jj can, play anywhere and likely they'll want to play,
40:51
Speaker 2: him everywhere so they can't just lock down this side
40:55
Speaker 2: of the field throw everybody. Over there they're gonna want
40:58
Speaker 2: to move. Him around they're gonna want to do whatever
40:59
Speaker 2: they can to MAXIMIZE the jj advantage, this year which
41:03
Speaker 2: means he can play plenty twenty. Five receptions what would
41:10
Speaker 2: you put the over? Under at how? Many receptions how?
41:13
Speaker 2: Many Yards For Chris. HENRY jr i gotta think. Of
41:17
Speaker 2: that i'm gonna have to write. THAT down i think
