• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you know, make an exact prediction, but it depends on
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: what lunch. That's an excellent point, all right, So that's
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: enough about that. That's that's later's issue.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I might have to practice going live tonight, so that
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: if I have to handle everything tomorrow.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It Yeah, we'll figure it out, We'll find it, we'll
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: find a way to be uh, to get together to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: have one more conversation about that, or at least one
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: more conversation about that. All right, enough with the enough
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of the Michigan talk, let's talk abole Hio State defensive
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: lineman got a chance to talk to Larry Johnson and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a good cross.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Function of the defensive line.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I think the big headline piece of the day is
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: an update on the status of Edwrick Houston, who provided
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: an update on his status, and when you asked him
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: for some clarity on that status, he simply repeated the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: same phrase he used the first time.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he said he'd be ready for Texas. And so
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: then I said, does that mean you're not ready now?
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: And he said, I'll be I'll be ready, I'll be ready.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: So he was not all that forthcoming on is it
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: bad just flew by us?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: No, it's a bird. I thought it was. I thought
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: it was a bad It is a bird.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: So he's not been forthcoming on exactly how he's doing
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: right now. Also, somebody asked, well, what exactly happened? What
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: exactly did you do to your knees? Like I'm not
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: telling you that. So he's very human, everything on the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: down low, But there seems to be no concern that
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: he won't be just fine and ready to go for
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Texas when they need him.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And that's sort of been in line with what we've
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: seen and what we've heard because he went from down
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: on the field on day one to walking around on
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: day two to jogging on day three, so and you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was out there and was you know, making tangible progress
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: day to day.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So it was it was not a you know, this
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: is not a big surprise.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: This is sort of in line with what they had
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: sort of put out, what we had seen, so you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: good news. Definitely a sigh of relief though for Ohio
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: State because Texas lost one of their tackles for the season,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: like out for the year, so you know, you can
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: have those camp injuries that are potential real season changers.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Ohio State seems to have dodged a bullet there with
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Edric Huston anything else with him before.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: We move on to no, because again.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Most of the questions were about that in form or fashion.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so with him, Caden McDonald came out he was
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: wearing a T shirt that just said disruptive and he
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: was asked, what does that mean to you?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: He said, stop the run. And he is someone who
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you have seen be disruptive already.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: He's also someone like you can just tell sometimes these
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: guys are just so excited for what's about to come.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And he's someone who has been somewhat patient. He's played
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a role, but he's been kind of patient behind some
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: very talented and veteran players. You can tell he's someone
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: who is very excited to have an opportunity.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the way everybody else talks about him, they're
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: just as excited as he is. But now there's forty
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: snaps more available per game. And he was talking about
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: being a four down player and it's like, well, that
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: would have to be to a short third and a
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: short fourth before you know, you get to all four down.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Don't be greedy.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: But the fact that he's preparing to be if four
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: down player, that he can just I can just stay
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: out there. I don't need to be substituted in terms
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: of having the wind, having the gas to do it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: And he credited diet Kayla Wilson, the nutrition iss here
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: at Ohio State. Everybody that goes through any kind of
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: physical change, you know, gives her the credit that she deserves,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and of course coach Mick but yeah, he's he is
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: preparing to play and not just yeah, I'm gonna be
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: on the field, like he is preparing to stay on
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: the field. That's that was one of the things that
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Tyler Williams. It took a while for him to be
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: able to do. And then once you finally get there,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: then you can be relied upon through the entire game
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: at any point. And that's clearly what he's trying to
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: be this year.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and for him, that process looked like slimming down
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Said he played at three point thirty
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: last year, more like three twenty two now. Said that's
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: just quicker, able to stay out on the field a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: little bit longer. Said, they call him slim Mack now,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: so that's that is his new nickname. He was very
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: excited talked about the challenge of going up against Carson
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Hin's in practice. You know, he named a couple different
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen, but that was It's always telling to me,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: who is the first name that comes out of someone's mouth,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and it was Carson Hinsman.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Sounds like they've had some real battles.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: He said, you know they grow those offensive linemen up
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, That's kind of what they do. So that's uh,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you have you have someone from his native habitat of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin down playing offensive line for Ohio State now, so
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: not a big surprise.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: He was also asked about the heat, and he's like, yeah,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: from Georgia like this this is this is nothing, this
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: is this is like midfall. I think based on what
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the grading on the curve of being from Georgia.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: C J.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Hicks was also out here.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: He was someone who has kind of gone the other
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: way in terms of his weight, went from two thirty
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: five to like he say, two forty two forty five,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: which that was just sort of a necessary part of
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the process. He's going from linebacker to defensive end. You
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: got to put on some extra week, because said, all
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're hitting someone who's three hundred pounds
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: every single play. So he just was constantly asking questions
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: about what he had to eat, what he had to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: work on. He said, his main focus still keeping that
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: speed up. Yeah, you're putting on weight, but you got
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to be able to keep the speed up, get his
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: get off as well. He said, just off the ball,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: going from off the ball to on the ball. Now,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it just it's simple. I was thing because you're just
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: looking at the stuff and that's in front of you.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And he was asked, you know who is the best
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: at you know, looking at this stuff in front of you,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and you're thinking, he's gonna say one of the defensive lineman,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Caleb Downs kill Down says everything in front of him,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and he's still the best at looking at him. He said,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: he'll call out the whole play before the snap. He said,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: drives the offense nuts and they'll try and like flip
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: what they're doing because it's like, you know, Down says,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: successfully diagnosed exactly what they're running. And so they're like,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: oh fine, we'll show you we're going to run something different,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: completely different.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Well, and Brandon Innes said the same thing a week
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: or two ago about Caleb Downs and when he's just
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: like it's so defeating because you get up there and
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you're ready to run a play and Caleb Downs tells
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: you what's happening. You're like, this play is going nowhere?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Well great, yeah, exactly, yes, Well, and except there's probably
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: some curse words added into it as well, But yeah,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: we could go. There's another show to do about Caleb Downs.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: We'll talk to the second next week. Yes, but yeah,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: overall with CG I think we're all we all want
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to see it because this is his last go round
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: and a major change has been made to his entire
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: lifestyle now in terms of what he is. So yeah,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: you want to see that.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Do well.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: You want to see him do well in that last
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: year because again they need it. And yeah, sure they're deep,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: but the variety of defensive ends that they have here
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: can be special.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. And you did you get a chance
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to talk to Boak and center Kayden Curry?
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: They were over I okay, yeah, mainly stated with the
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: defensive tackles on table three.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, so let's then let's talk about some of
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: those defensive tackles because I talked about Edric Houston and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Kate McDonald, and those are the two guys who are
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: kind of the free spaces on the Bingo card in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: terms of the interior the defensive line. Those are the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: two guys who are like exclamation points. Everyone else to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: some degree feels like they're a little bit of a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: question mark on the interior of that defensive line. Who
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: did you you know, who did you talk to and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: what's the sort of sense from them?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Well, the sense is that I talked with Will Smith,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: talked to Jason Moore, talked with Taiwan Malone.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: All three of those guys need to be in that
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: mix playing.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: And Will Smith first, you know, he's playing nose tackle
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: now and it's he was a defensive end in high school.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: So this is a process. It's not a quick process. Buddy.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: He feels to talk about.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: How he knows he can play here now, and I
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: think I think everybody goes through that where you're not
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: sure until finally things start happening. I just wrote about
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Philip Daniels and he told us earlier in the week
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I knew I could play here when Jack Sawyer and J. T.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Twoey mullowaw were telling me in Boll camp, like in
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: bull practices, like hey, you're doing well, You're gonna be okay.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: But then he still takes time and took time in spring.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: So he's his confidence is growing and.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: He knows his time is now and they need him,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: and so that's been his focus.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wait, you hear about guys talking about knowing they
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: can play here. I always go back to Xavier Johnson
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in his story of like walking off the field and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: feeling like I don't know if I'm in the right spot,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and an Urban Meyer saying I don't remember what number
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: he was weorriing it wasn't ten at that point, but
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, forty eight, you're all right, basically, And
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: it was kind of like, you know, me and Joe
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Green throwing in the jersey or something like that, like, oh, hey,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: all right, I guess I'll be okay. Looks like we
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: have a super chat.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Jordan Kapler, that's all well and good to hear about
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Edward Houston. But what we all want to know is
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: if Tom and Tony will be ready for week one?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: All right, So Jordan wants to know, you know, Edward Houston, Yes,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: he's ready for week one. Tony and I are we
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: ready for week one? I can tell you we are already.
• 9:36

• 9:42
  Speaker 1: planning the whole day of content. Yes, rest assured barring
• 9:45

  Speaker 1: ready for week one. You can be ready for week
• 9:57

• 10:06
  Speaker 1: very fun few weeks leading up to that Texas game
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and then that Texas game itself. I was listening to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: one of the national college football podcasts I'll just shout
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: out the College Football Nerds.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I was listening to them on the.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Way in Today, one of their they do it a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: YouTube show, but it's also they do it as a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: podcast also on our board, so you know, you want
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to access to.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Some some break national minds as well.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: There there as well, but we had I was listening
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to them on the way and I was like, all right,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of I'm kind of looking forward to this,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Like we've been counting down to this game since January,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: like literally counting down to this game on the show
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: every day. But yeah, it's fifteen days. Way, It's like,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: oh boy, that's that's pretty close.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And you're talking about we were talking about how soon
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: early we want to get here. You're suggesting Saturday morning.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I was saying, like Friday afternoon. You're like, well, you know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: that's a little earlier.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Like we content, there's gonna be there's gonna be plenty
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to talk about, There's gonna be plenty to do.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll we will have.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, we'll have a full week era I guess
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: two weeks really of coverage leading up to that game
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: for you at buckeyehuddle dot com.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: So all right, were you over there for any of
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the Larry Johnson interviews?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: A little bit of Larry Johnson. One of the interesting
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: things I think maybe the most interesting thing I heard
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: from Larry Johnson because I wasn't over there long, but
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: he did talk about six guys he said, and didn't
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: name them, but then he also mentioned Jack quest.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Carter in that six sick guys for the interior or.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: For defensive tackle. Like, so you know, I have you
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: got Edric Houston, Kate McDonald, Taiwan Malone, Will Smith, Jason Moore.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Jack Quest Carter.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's my assumption.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: So now he said he's got an opportunity. But when
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: he talked about the six, like we've got six and
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: then like the second name he mentioned was Jarick west Carter,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: It's like, well, okay, you know he's he's doing well
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: So that's yeah, that's something.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: And as we always talk about, listen for the names
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: that pop up, pop up that aren't being asked about,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: and that was one of them, right, yeah.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: And to sort of explain that, if you say, how
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: is Jarqus Carter doing?
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Getting it Ezra, But jark west Carter is not necessarily instructive.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: If you ask about who's standing out and that's the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: name you hear relatively early, Okay, then thattt tells me something.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: And he's someone who anytime you have a.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: True freshman, especially interior of the defensive line where you've
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: got to hold up, I'm always a little dubious about,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you know, is this guy ready to play? Even twenty
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: snaps of getting in the season, it's a true freshman
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: in there. If you're getting five to ten snaps out
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of him against Texas, that'd be huge, that would be
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: enormous because if they're willing to put him out there
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: when they have other options out there, even if it's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: just for a little bit, that is pretty that would
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: be pretty telling.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: To me that hey, this is you know, this is
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: not going to be five to ten snaps for a
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: long Yeah.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Well, and then talking with Taiwan Malone and Jason more
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: clearly like they know their time is now as well,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: so they're not don't expect them to just hand over
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: those snaps because they've seen Tyler Williams is now gone,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: yeah and is not coming back. And so there are
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: forty or fifty snaps that they know. Adric Houston is
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: going to get something, but there's a lot of snaps
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: up for grabs.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Mike Ferguson, the real question is when will the
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: manifesto be released? Oops, my mistake, that's tomorrow's Yeah.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike Ferguson wants to know when the manifesto will
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: be released?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Is that your manifesto?
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: No? Well, on the disappearance of the Mexican pizza from
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Taco bell is that is that what you're find underd
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: page manifesto is about It was.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: About the packaging.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: It was just a lot to stack and keep in
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: the house, So that's why. Yeah, But the manifesto, like,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you can have to be more specific. I'm sure there's
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: more than one person over there that has a manifesto.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Definitely more than more than one University of Michigan affiliated
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: person has written a rather well known manifesto over the years.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: So you have to be have to be more specific.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Do we have other questions we need to get to?
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: People want to People are asking for a final call
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: on the.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Tech game, a final call on the Texas game. People
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: for fifteen days away. Goodness, I was, I was not
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: watched the spring game.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: When you said the final call on that was not
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: where I thought that sentence was going. You know, I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: talked to Brett Siancia from Pick six Previews on the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: morning show that ran last night, and just talking to him,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I think his thoughts on the game, you know, he
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: didn't give a score prediction, but his thoughts on the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: game and thoughts on just Texas on the whole are
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: pretty similar what I was looking at, which is everyone
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: sorry about Arch and yeah, that's great, but they have
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: lost a bunch of talent in the wide receiver room.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: They have lost a bunch of talent. I think they
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: lost every player on the defensive line who had more
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: than five tackles or interior the defensive line, like not
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: edge players like Collin Simmons, but like defensive linemen. Everyone
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: who had five or more tackles for their team last
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: year is gone.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: So they've brought in a bunch of other guys. They
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: have a ton of transfers, But.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: How confident are you that you know exactly what you're
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: getting out of the Texas defensive line. And at the
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: same time, they've lost some talents on the offensive line
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: as well. I mean Kelvin Banks the left to he
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: went top ten in the draft. They lost a bunch
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: of other guys who didn't get drafted nearly as high.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: But you're replacing basically your entire trenches. I look at
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that and I think, you know, yeah, Texas may have
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a little bit of an advantage at quarterback just because
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: arch Manning played more into arch Manning has been QB
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: one for them the whole spring and fall, so you've
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: gotten just a lot more reps. But when you look
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: in the trenches, I think that's yeah. I certainly not
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: put together a score prediction yet, but I look at
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Texas As replacing a bunch of guys on the trenches
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, and I think, well,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: this doesn't scream extremely high scoring game to me, so
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: close and low ish scoring would be my broad idea
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: on that right now.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Well, and while you were talking with prest Siancia, I
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: was talking with Paul Finebaum and Peter Burns and they
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: both say it's not gonna be good for io stage.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: So it's not going to go well for that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Well, there you go. If Peter Burns says so, well,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: then super chat.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Mike ferguson another super chat. I've read Tony's manifesto. It
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: said sent help and was writtenly ketchup on a cock two.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: It's a big napkin. It's like a lot of words
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: there for just a little napkin.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I'll ketchup and no muster makes Tony a dull boy.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: It's right, something something, something something.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Don't mind if I do anything else that you because
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you and I were at different tables. Yeah, virtually the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: whole interview session to.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Some more stuff on will Smith.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: He just talked about how his strength is his ability
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: to just get off the ball right now vertically. He
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: prefers that more than the horizontal stuff that maybe you
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: have to do more away from the ball. Now he's
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: closer to the ball, he can just go get it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: So that's something that he believes he's inherited from his father.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: So that's you know, the the great Will Smith All
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: American defensive end said, I'm here to work this year
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: and again it just takes guys time. Same with Jason Moore,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: time with him, Same with Taiwan Malone. Like you get here,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if you're coming here from all miss Yeah,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: it's still a step up. With Philip Daniels, he said
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: two days ago, this is a more pro environment. So
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: like you get here, and it doesn't matter if you've
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: come from a Big ten school an SEC school, there's
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: still gonna be a change. And most all are generally
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: a step up as well.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: About the only people that you could think of that
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: have not had that kind of a step up Caleb
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Downs coming from nick Saban, Alabama to here.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I think that's probably a lateral move.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Seth maclaughlan.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Seth MacLachlan coming from nick Sabon, Alabama to hear. Other
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: than that, I mean you're looking at Georgia. No, they
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: haven't got any transfers from Georgia that I could think
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of hero canoe going from Ohio state to Texas is
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: probably sort of the same basic thing. But man, the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: level in here is just the level of not only
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the level of competition, but also just the level of
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the talent in here, and the level of the intensity
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and the pressure in here is not similar to most
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: other places that you can you could really think of.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: So anything else that we can think.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Of before we need to wrap the I'm good, okay,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So we will wrap that up for today. Have much
• 18:00
