1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: Our good buddy, Brady Quinn, Fox college football analyst Big

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: Noon Kickoff, will be an ann arbor for Washington in Michigan.

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: He's also one of the hosts on Two Pros and

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: a Cup of Joe, and of course former Notre Dame

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: quarterback Brady. Before we get started, I had somebody reach

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: out last night late last night and they had a

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: message that they wanted to deliver to you.

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 3: Pull him down.

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 4: Get your pants lower on your waistline.

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: That too damn high, Brady. Will Ferrell was not letting

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 2: go of the fact that you wore your football pants

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: too high when you played here.

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 5: You know, if playing against Southern Cow and arguably the

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 5: greatest era ever with players like Reggie Bush and Matt

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 5: Lionerd and lofot to two Bro all the great players

18
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 5: that went through there during that time wasn't enough. You

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 5: had to endure the heckling of Will Ferrell, who made

20
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 5: you question everything on the sidelines, in particular your pants

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 5: potentially being too high.

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: I've always had.

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 5: Long legs and my brother in law, aj Hawk makes

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 5: fun of me all the time about it. So I'm

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 5: glad this is still going on, but it was interesting.

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 3: Will didn't want to talk about the fact that this could.

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 5: Be the last time these two teams ever play, which

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 5: that really started from the Southern cal side of things,

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 5: And he also didn't mention anything about the game, which

30
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 5: it leads me to believe that he's a bit concerned

31
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 5: about his trophanes.

32
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: How do we get to this point where this rivalry

33
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: may go away?

34
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 3: Southern Child joined the Big Ten.

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 5: You know people, I think through COVID, and this was

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 5: like a bigger topic, but everyone kind of looked to

37
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 5: like just protect themselves, and universites in particular, I think

38
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 5: looked out and said, there's a changing landscape in college football.

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 5: I think they knew that nil was on the horizon,

40
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 5: and they started realizing that the athletic department is going

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 5: to take a hit and we better be well funded

42
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 5: if we want to be able to continue on this

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 5: course of maintaining as many Olympic sports that we provide

44
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 5: for both men's and women's sports, as well as still

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 5: being able to provide our football and men's women's basketball

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 5: teams with the resources that they need. And so this

47
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 5: forced you know, certain teams I think to look for

48
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 5: safe harbor. And in the case of Southern Cal, they obviously,

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: along with UCLA and Oregon in Washington, enjoyed the Big Ten.

50
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: How big of a game is this for both of

51
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: these teams?

52
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 5: It's an elimination game in my mind. I mean, obviously

53
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 5: Notre Dame can't afford another loss. This is the toughest

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 5: to point up to play the rest of the schedule.

55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 5: That goes without saying for Southern Cal, though, I think

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 5: because of the rest of their schedule, if they lose

57
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: this one, they're a two loss team. You still got

58
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 5: to play Nebraska, who's much improved under that role, and

59
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 5: Dylan Ryle with the steps they've taken.

60
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: Then you got to play at Oregon.

61
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 5: I think if you drop either one of those two games,

62
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 5: you're probably not playing the Big Ten Championship and nine

63
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 5: in threes.

64
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: Not good enough to get in the playoffs.

65
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 5: So not only that, like is it an elimination game

66
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 5: for them in that sense, but also I think after

67
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 5: the recent firing of James Franklin, it makes you look

68
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: at where Southern col is at with Lincoln Riley, and

69
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: when you look at the tenure, and I know a

70
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 5: lot of people have compared it to Clay Helen when

71
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 5: he first got there, but the reality is they're pretty similar.

72
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 5: And Clay Helen had a Roles Bowl win, he had

73
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 5: a conference championship. Lincoln Roley's not being able to get

74
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 5: any of that done. Maybe this is that year. You know,

75
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 5: last week was a huge win for them. I think

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: from the standpoint of they were able to beat a

77
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 5: team in a physical manner that they really hadn't shown

78
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 5: at least this season and maybe throughout the course of

79
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 5: Lincoln Riley's tenure at Southern col So maybe they're trying

80
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 5: to build off that momentum. They feel like this is

81
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 5: the season to take that next big step. But if not,

82
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 5: it's not just about the playoff and this year I

83
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 5: think it's about like, where's this program heading into Lincoln

84
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 5: Riley in the future.

85
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: How often, well, certainly this time of the year, the

86
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: bush push come up in a game that you were

87
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: there and you thought you had scored the game winning touchdown.

88
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: Liner talked about this earlier in the week, that he

89
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: had a fumble and they went out of bounds. If

90
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't, then the game is over. Fourth down, you know,

91
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: pass to Dwayne Jarrett and then you had you know,

92
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 2: Reggie and Liner with the bush push.

93
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: It kills up.

94
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 5: I mean there's obviously like I feel like everyone in

95
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 5: the world watched that game. I don't know what the

96
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 5: ratce were, but everyone was either like at that game

97
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 5: or watched that game or at this point, I think

98
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 5: I've met everyone who attended that game, because that's when

99
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 5: a lot of people come up and say they're like,

100
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 5: oh's that the Bush Push game. I'm like, really, I

101
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 5: was like, I feel like at this point there was like,

102
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 5: you know, eighty million people who are there, but look

103
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 5: it was. It was an incredible atmosphere, the build up

104
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 5: for that game, the drama behind it. You know, I

105
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 5: remember that week and you're on campus now, so it's

106
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 5: a Thursday, and it usually starts to pick up for

107
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 5: home games, but that week, it was like on Tuesday,

108
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: you know, you had people who are coming in town

109
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 5: to visit campus and to prepare for what was a

110
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 5: huge matchup versus the number one team at Timouadden you know,

111
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 5: was the back to back national champion and like the

112
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 5: Dylan Pep rally on South Quad was huge. You know,

113
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 5: I was giving out Linard's hotel information and the phone

114
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 5: number there. We gave up the the itinerary for when

115
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 5: the bus got there to the stadium.

116
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: Were you giving hotel room?

117
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 5: I was trying to I didn't get a hotel room,

118
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 5: but we had the number for the hotel.

119
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 3: And so I figured they're Notre Dame kids.

120
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 5: They're smart enough to figure out how to get individual

121
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 5: room numbers to start calling around. But there was a

122
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 5: good contingent of fans there when they pulled up to

123
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 5: the stadium, and that will tell you that they had

124
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 5: that bus rocking back and forth. And he tries to say, oh, no,

125
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 5: that was us. We were all hyped up inside. I

126
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 5: got us excited, but it was it was as crazy

127
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 5: of an environment as I've ever seen Notre Dame really,

128
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 5: you know, being especially considering the PEP rally was in

129
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 5: the stadium.

130
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: I mean, we have like.

131
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 5: Forty thousand people halfway filled up that bowl for the

132
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 5: PEP rally the night before, and the green jerseys and

133
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 5: the grass was grown out and everything that went along

134
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 5: with it. So you know, it's unfortunate it ended the

135
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 5: way it did that. You know, I don't play, and

136
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 5: I want to set the record straight, you know, I

137
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 5: would hope that if I was the type of quarterback

138
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 5: dan that couldn't get in on a quarterback snake on

139
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 5: my own that my running back would.

140
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: Help me too.

141
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 5: I would hope if if I was that type of guy.

142
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 5: And now I'm not that type of guy, but if

143
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 5: I was, I would hope my running back would help

144
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 5: me too. So I've never really blamed Reggie and Matt

145
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 5: for that. You know, it's it was illegal pack ten officials.

146
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 5: You can't expect him to call it even to play

147
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 5: before how they officiated that mean, it.

148
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: Was what it was. But they were a great team.

149
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 5: That was that was We watched their Arizona State game

150
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 5: that week because Charlie Weiss Sore, as a head coach

151
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 5: at the time, want us to see like how special

152
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 5: Reggie Bush was. Like our entire team sat and watched

153
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 5: that game, and you know, he was the greatest college

154
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 5: football player that I'd ever seen, and obviously in that

155
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 5: game too, he was truly special.

156
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: We're talking to Brady Quinn, Fox college football analyst. He'll

157
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: be an ann Arbor Washington at Michigan. You know, this

158
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: is kind of a sneak. He must win for Michigan

159
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: coming off the loss against USC and you still got

160
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: a couple of big games on their Big Ten schedule,

161
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: So what do you expect out of this game?

162
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

163
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 5: I mean, I've not been a fan of how Michigan

164
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 5: each week has kind of rolled out this offense that

165
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 5: it feels like they're still trying to figure out their identity.

166
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously Haines and running back has been fine,

167
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 5: but with Bryce Underwood is talented as he is as

168
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 5: a freshman, it feels like they haven't really found that

169
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 5: rhythm of how they can consistently get him into a

170
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 5: groove early in games throwing the football.

171
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: He's such a special.

172
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 5: Talent that that's concerning for me. I hated how they

173
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 5: opened up last week versus Southern cal I think that

174
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 5: played into a little bit of how that game got.

175
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: Away from them, and then this week you have a

176
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: similar team.

177
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 5: Tamal Williams Junior is one of the best quarterbacks in

178
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 5: the country that we don't talk about enough that you

179
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 5: only as special.

180
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: He can make plays with his legs, he can make

181
00:07:59,080 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: all the throws.

182
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: May'be got some talent to Coleman and running back Boston

183
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 5: on the outside, Like there's some legit weapons and you know,

184
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 5: I think the same.

185
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: Conversation I just said about Lincoln Riley with Scharme Moore.

186
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 5: If they dropped this one, I think he's what eleven

187
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 5: and eight over the past couple of seasons. Don't you

188
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 5: start kind of questioning, like, what what's the direction of

189
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 5: this Michigan program after winning a national championship a couple

190
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 5: of years ago, and if not for the win over

191
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 5: Ohio State, you know how much equityes Shroon Moore really

192
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 5: have within that program.

193
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: And so I think, you know, after the firing of James.

194
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 5: Franklin, with the buyout and what that number is, it's

195
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 5: put every coach unnotice at some of these blue blood

196
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 5: programs where there's high expectations, and I think schro Moore

197
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 5: and Michigan would would for sure fall into that category

198
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 5: because I'm not sure they're good enough this year to

199
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 5: beat Ohio State. Now I didn't think that last year.

200
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 5: I mean, they were the biggest underdog ever they went

201
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 5: into Columbus and beat him. So maybe I'll be proven wrong,

202
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 5: but there's some big time concerned for me with Michigan

203
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 5: right now and where that program is headed.

204
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: Who's the best football team in the state of India.

205
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: Oh man, you had to do it, didn't you. You

206
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 3: had to do it. I'll give EU their flowers. I'll

207
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 3: give coach.

208
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 5: Sig and Fernando Mendoza and all their their you know

209
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 5: players that their flowers.

210
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: They have been super impressive this year.

211
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 5: And and it's it wasn't just a one hit wonder,

212
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 5: which we've seen that in years at IU. You know,

213
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 5: we've watched so many coaches go in there they have

214
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 5: that one great season. I mean Tom Allen had that

215
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 5: that season with Michael PENNOCKX too, that was kind of

216
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 5: like one to remember, and then they could never.

217
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: Capture that or build off of that.

218
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 5: And Kurt Signetti has done that and and now I

219
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 5: think one of the things that goes under the radar

220
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 5: is he's great at identifying head off it's Hammer's staff

221
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 5: and identifying players were the right fit. You know, he

222
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 5: brought a bunch of players with him in year one,

223
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: but like this year, going and getting Fernando Mendoza, a player.

224
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: At Cow who was a good player.

225
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 5: But the way he's changed his trajectory and how people

226
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 5: are talking about him now is maybe a quarterback.

227
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: We should look at it in the you know, top

228
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: ten of the draft next year.

229
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 5: Those are the sorts of of decisions and things that

230
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 5: he's done that it just I think it kind of

231
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 5: I haven't been talked about enough with why they've been

232
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 5: so successful is he's able to find and got players

233
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 5: that fittest system that are able to execute. He plays

234
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 5: their strengths and that play at a high level. And

235
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 5: that was a dominant win at Oregon. Like that's a tough, talented,

236
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 5: physical team. They went into their house, controlled that game

237
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 5: and kind of dictated to them how that game was

238
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,119
Speaker 5: going to go. So I will say right now, it's Indiana,

239
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 5: but I love what Notre Dame is doing. I love

240
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 5: how their defense has continued to improve. And I think CJ.

241
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 3: Carr is a rockstar.

242
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 5: If you asked me to take one quarterback right now,

243
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 5: I'm taking him over anyone in the country hands down.

244
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: And it's in bo way. It's not even close.

245
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, why you know.

246
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 5: It's the tape he he has. He does everything well. Dan,

247
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 5: Like he stepped into I mean your face. First touchdown

248
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 5: pass was a no look touchdown in Miami, like on

249
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 5: the road, like it like it was not thing. And

250
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 5: he really brought his team back in that instance. Where

251
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 5: you know he was getting knocked around. He showed a

252
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: lot of toughness, showed a lot of poise, and there's

253
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 5: just there's so many things he does so well, whether

254
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: it's the timing and anticipation, how he manipulates defenses. I

255
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 5: mean when teams plays zone coverage against him, he knows

256
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 5: exactly where he wants to go with the football, and

257
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 5: he's moving defenders to make throws. His downfield accuracy, I mean,

258
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 5: you look at his air yards per attempt. I mean,

259
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 5: it's not like they're easing him into this. He's taking chunks,

260
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 5: he can make the off platform throws.

261
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: He can do it all.

262
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 5: And look, I try to watch every quarterback that's draft

263
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 5: eligible and all the freshmen, all the top guys in

264
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 5: the country.

265
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 3: Every single week.

266
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 5: He has been the most consistent one for me every

267
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 5: single week.

268
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: And everyone thinks it's biased because he's an name quarterback.

269
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: But it's not that.

270
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 5: I mean, it's put on the tape and watch it,

271
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 5: and if people want to have a debate about that's fine.

272
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 6: Though.

273
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: Dante Moore has been great for Nanna Mendoz has been great.

274
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: We talked about him.

275
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 5: Carson Beck's been good, but I put them right up

276
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 5: there with the best in the country.

277
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: How old are you, I'm forty almost forty one.

278
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 2: Okay, So you've got Flacco and Aaron Rodgers who are

279
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: your age, yeah or older playing tonight.

280
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: It's incredible. The icy hot boulder call it right.

281
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 5: I mean, everyone's just getting all icy hot up before

282
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: they go out there in the field. But I think

283
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 5: it's speech to you know, the style that still wins

284
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 5: within the NFL, and that's still being able to play

285
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 5: from the pocket.

286
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: Like all the things I just mentioned about CJ. Carr.

287
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 5: You know, those are things that when you play in

288
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 5: the NFL, you have to be able to throw to spots.

289
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 5: You have to be able to anticipate and have a

290
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 5: sense of where the ball needs to be so the

291
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 5: receiver can catch and run afterwards or get the catching

292
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: yards after contact. You know, both those guys still do that.

293
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 5: And we're in a day and age where there's a

294
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 5: lot of quarterbacks who transition in the NFL who are

295
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 5: a dual threat. And that's not to their detriment, but

296
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 5: they don't get as much protection. Injury start to add

297
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 5: up from time to time, and very similar to like

298
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 5: you know MJ who when he initially went into the NBA.

299
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 5: He was a high flying type player that could jump

300
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 5: and dunk from anywhere. But as the game, you know,

301
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 5: as your game evolves and you get older, you got

302
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 5: to be able to kind of play down from the

303
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 5: post where you can isolate or develop an outside shot

304
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 5: or a mid range shot.

305
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: Same thing as a quarterback.

306
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 5: You have to be able to eventually play from the

307
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 5: pocket where you're most protected and you have the best

308
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 5: chance of surviving to play the next down. Both those

309
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: guys have done that, and you know, talking to Joe Flack,

310
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 5: what's what's most impressive about this Dan is like he's

311
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 5: playing in different systems. It's like a different language out there,

312
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 5: and he just got there and it's like watching him,

313
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 5: you know.

314
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: Still go out there in the field and execute. It's

315
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: so hard to do.

316
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 5: You know, it's like explain to someone go to your

317
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 5: job in Spanish next week, and if you're not bilingual,

318
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 5: it's it's incredibly difficult. So credit to both those guys.

319
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 5: And I'm curious to see how the Icy Hot Bowl goes.

320
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 5: I don't know it pulls anything in warm ups or

321
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 5: there's not any like issues, you know, getting chew and

322
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 5: from or off the bus.

323
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: You know, when you're old like that, you step off

324
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: the curb the wrong way and roll an ankle.

325
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: But that's what makes what Brady did even more remarkable.

326
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 2: It's not just playing, it's playing at a high level,

327
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: super Bowl level, super Bowl MVP level at you know,

328
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: forty five, and he can still play. Brady can still

329
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: play now, right.

330
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: With I think so?

331
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 5: I mean, you look at the numbers he was putting

332
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 5: up the end of his career and without a doubt.

333
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 5: I mean, you put him in certain certain teams, certain situations.

334
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 5: You want to want to to be a fire drow

335
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 5: at the quarterback spot. But yeah, I mean, I think

336
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 5: that's the thing is the games slowed down so much

337
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 5: for those guys that you know, they know where the

338
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 5: ball needs to go. It's just about their ability to

339
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 5: physically do it consistently at such a high level.

340
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: But why can't that teach a twenty two year old

341
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: to do that? Why can't I teach cam Ward or

342
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams or some of these younger quarterbacks to do that.

343
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 5: Because you're breaking habits to have been built over thousands

344
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 5: of reps since they are probably in junior high. You know,

345
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 5: nowadays the way football is taught is it starts in shotgun.

346
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I've got cousins now who are playing peebe football.

347
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: It's like they're going out a shotgun. I'm like, all right,

348
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 5: like this like a you know, under center, be easier,

349
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 5: and they're like yeah, but you know when they get older,

350
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 5: they're off to do it.

351
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right.

352
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 5: But the reality is when you're in shotgun, you don't

353
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 5: play so much with the game with timing and rhythm.

354
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: You know, every three.

355
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 5: Step, five step, seven step drop color decides with the

356
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 5: depths and the timing of the rap progressions that you

357
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 5: have alongside of that. When you get in the shotgun,

358
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 5: it's tough to do that because of obviously the snap

359
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 5: and then how you go about working your footwork. You

360
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 5: do your best to get there, but doesn't happen. So

361
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 5: once you then figure out the timing and rhythm, then

362
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 5: it's about how you navigate the pocket right because that's

363
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 5: where you're protected. So many guys who get back in shotgun,

364
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 5: they drop back and they stay back there and then

365
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 5: because of the pressure they get, they want to run

366
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 5: to left or the right. Well, that's what every defense

367
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 5: wants you to do. You cut the field in half,

368
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: so you're making their job easier. And so that's why

369
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 5: when you play from a under center, you realize you

370
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 5: get back and then you get back up and that's

371
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 5: your safe spot. And so there's so many little things

372
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 5: like that that you have to break those habits and

373
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 5: learn kind of this new hab to develop.

374
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: A new habit.

375
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, while I understand how to train your eyes, you know,

376
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 5: oftentimes there are these RPO offenses where I catch the

377
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 5: ball Dan, I'm reading one guy and then if he

378
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 5: ever triggers, all right, I'm throwing. If he doesn't, a

379
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 5: handing off. That's drastically different than me looking through the

380
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 5: defense through the mic linebacker to the safeties and how

381
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 5: they're rotating, or what the mic linebacker's doing if he's

382
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 5: running to cover a man, or or you know what

383
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 5: the configuration looks like pre and post snap, you know,

384
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 5: based on your formation.

385
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 3: All those things aren't being taught as much anymore.

386
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 5: So it makes that transition, when you have to make

387
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 5: a decision in two to three seconds really really difficult

388
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 5: to do it consistently well at a high level.

389
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: Could you've gotten into Notre Dame if you weren't a

390
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: football player. Hell no, hell no, okay.

391
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: I mean that was a hard worker.

392
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 5: But the kids, you say, I mean you you're you're

393
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 5: I don't know where you're set up right a parking lot.

394
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 5: We got a picture of the Golden domer touchdown Jesus

395
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 5: over there where we set up at almost like you're

396
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 5: near the stadium.

397
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: I'm about uh, well, not your arm, but like a

398
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: better arm. Uh it'd probably take two throws to get

399
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: to the stick. L way could get me to the

400
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: stadium and set up.

401
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: It's beautiful.

402
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're good on the south side of that.

403
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're perfect.

404
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 6: Yeah.

405
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: Where where's your dorm room? We were going to stop by.

406
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 7: Hell well, zom my dorm.

407
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 5: No, zomb actually shut down. So Somb Hall was my freshman,

408
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 5: sophomore or dorm. It was kind of like the animal

409
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 5: house type dorm. Deacon Dan came in there and man,

410
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 5: he just put the kebash on any partying going on.

411
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 3: So, I mean, it's not a dry campus.

412
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 5: So uh, you know, guys like that fun in there

413
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 5: and they it's not even a dorm anymore.

414
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 3: I don't think.

415
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if it was like through COVID, there

416
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 5: wasn't some compliancy issues or something. But I ended up

417
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 5: I end up moving to Dylan my junior year, and

418
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 5: then I went back to see my room and they

419
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 5: converted into like a common space. So it's not even

420
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 5: like my dormom's even there anymore. So it's a little sad,

421
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 5: a little sad, to be honest.

422
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: Keep your head up, Okay, I think things are gonna

423
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: work out the way.

424
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 3: By the way, we're not going to be in ann

425
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 3: Arbor this week.

426
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 5: Big New Kickoff is actually in Provo, Utah for the

427
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 5: Holy War between.

428
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: B y U and Utah.

429
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: Todd and gave me a little misinformation there. I guess

430
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: everywhere I saw listened when you guess you gave me or.

431
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 5: You and that was the game listed for like the

432
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 5: last three days, that was the game that they had listed.

433
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: Well and Todd.

434
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 5: It's funny because we went to utaar earlier this year

435
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 5: and Todd's the one that was talking about bed shakers.

436
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means.

437
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 5: You have to ask Todd after this segment, but apparently

438
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 5: that's the thing out there.

439
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: I don't know Todd.

440
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 2: Bed bed shakers too.

441
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I canna look that up and

442
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: figure out this.

443
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: Had anything to do with real elsewise of Salt Lake

444
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: City here.

445
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: It's potentially, it's possible, it's possible. Nothing I'm aware of.

446
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: Nothing I'm aware of.

447
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 2: But safe travels to Provo and if you happen to

448
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 2: go to Michigan state travels there as well.

449
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 6: Thank you.

450
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: I appreciate that.

451
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 7: Guys.

452
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: Hey, go Irish too. It's a big one. It might

453
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 3: be the last. We gotta enjoy it.

454
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: It's Brady Quinn Fox College football analysts.

455
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 8: Why would they go to Provo instead of a Michigan there?

456
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 2: Don't blame them that they're going to Provo and Michigan.

457
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: So the three different things Fox, how about we take

458
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 2: a break and then we can talk about this. Okay,

459
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 2: that's disappointing.

460
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 6: Are you sure he knows where he's going? Maybe he's

461
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 6: going to Michigan.

462
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: He's got a run.

463
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,600

491
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: I thought of with your dad, was your coach in

492
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,680

Speaker 7: Oh?

494
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 9: Extremely tough.

495
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 4: I mean he knew like what was in me, so

496
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 4: like it was nothing easy. You know a lot of

497
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 4: people do like daddy ball and things like that, like

498
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: their parents take it easy on them.

499
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 9: But not my dad.

500
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 4: If I made one mistake and we were doing ten

501
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: and ones, it's just sprinting up and back.

502
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: But when did he know what you had inside you?

503
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 9: Probably when I was like four, when I first.

504
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 6: Started playing basketball.

505
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 9: You didn't really know it kind of just assumed. I

506
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 9: just hope for the best.

507
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 6: Uh.

00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 2: and women's college basketball this year?

510
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 9: Oh? I don't know. I guess if that's what everybody

511
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 9: else thinks. I mean, I'm really here to who well.

512
00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: I mean, Juju's heard yeah and you you're you're the

513
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: best player in college basketball and feels So.

514
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 9: Is that what they're saying?

515
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: I think?

516
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 6: So, I don't know. Do you agree?

517
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: Do you think you're the best player in college basketball?

518
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: I would say there's a lot of great women basketball

519
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 4: players out there.

520
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 9: If that's what everybody thinks, I don't know.

521
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: Well, you got confidence, I do.

522
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 9: I do have confidence in my game, of course.

523
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: Who do you model your game after?

524
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 4: I used to watch a lot of Kyrie Irving growing up,

525
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: like a lot of his highlights. I also watched a

526
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 4: lot of Airy when she was going on her little

527
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 4: run in the collegiate level when she was here.

528
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: So have you met Kyrie?

529
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 7: No?

530
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: I actually have not, But he's a fellow Jersey.

531
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 9: He is, actually yeah, yeah, he is.

532
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 2: Pretty good ball.

533
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 9: Handler, great, one of the best.

534
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: If you could play like Kyrie or Steph, who would

535
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 2: you take?

536
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 9: Oh that's a tough one. I can't take both Kyrie's handles.

537
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 9: And okay, I mean Kyrie shoots three Gary does, but

538
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 9: I'll probably do stuff. I mean, he's unguardable with his shooting.

539
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: Are you unguardable?

540
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 9: I don't know. I guess we'll see.

541
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: Well, i've seen so far in the first two. You know,

542
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: and you grew up an Eagles fan.

543
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, somewhat like a little bit.

544
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 4: My dad was a big, you know, Philly sports guy,

545
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 4: so any Philly teams was the ones that he was

546
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 4: cheering for. So with your I didn't really know what

547
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: was going on. I just knew if they won, then

548
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 4: that was a good thing.

549
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: What was it like though, when you went to a

550
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 2: Notre Dame game.

551
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 9: My first time. Honestly, it was amazing.

552
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 4: The fans were amazing, something like I've never seen before.

553
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 4: You know, I've been to a lot of football games

554
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 4: on my official visits.

555
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 9: But you know, the Notre Dame game was something just different.

556
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 4: How many scholarship offers oh too many to count, honestly,

557
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 4: when they started coming in by, like the dozen, I

558
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 4: just stopped county.

559
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: But okay, how do you sort out that you're gonna

560
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: end up at Notre Dame? Because Michigan was there, I

561
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: think in Ohio state was there?

562
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I honestly, just a lot of a

563
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 4: feel and a lot of prayers. Me and my family

564
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 4: prayed a lot, just that the Lord will guide us

565
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 4: in the right direction, and we ended up here.

566
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 9: On Notre Dame.

567
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: But you started with nil I did.

568
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 9: It was fresh when I got here.

569
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: Okay, what was that experience?

570
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 7: Like?

571
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was.

572
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 4: It was different because now collegiate players can get agents

573
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 4: and things like that, so it was it was really new,

574
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 4: and it was sort of hard to navigate because it's like, okay,

575
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 4: what's the you know, right amount? Like what do we

576
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 4: ask for and things like that. But now that I

577
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 4: have agents and things like that, they kind of handle.

578
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 9: All that and I stuff.

579
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: Okay, But how's that work with an agent?

580
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 9: I don't know, honestly, I don't know.

581
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 4: Just tell them, let them handle the tone what I like,

582
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 4: and they kind of go go after.

583
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 9: Whatever they can.

584
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: Okay. But do you feel like a professional?

585
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 4: I mean in a sense, yeah, I mean it's it's

586
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 4: a little different, and cross players can make money off

587
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 4: of their name, and now it's like you get pay

588
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 4: for play, so it's it's kind of like the collegiate level.

589
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 9: But I don't like to think that I'm I'm a

590
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 9: pro because I'm still like kid in the head.

591
00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: How important is the w N?

592
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 9: Extremely important?

593
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 4: And you know, I think it's been my dream since

594
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 4: I was younger to be able to play at the

595
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,280

619
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 4: little relaxed and more chill. But on the court, I'm screaming, yelling,

632
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 4: them so uncomfortable I don't want to bring the ball

633
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 4: up the floor, you know. I think that's just my

634
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 4: mindset that I want to make my player as uncomfortable

635
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 4: as possible.

636
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 2: If you could have a steal, or you could hit

637
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 2: a shot, what's more important to you?

638
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 9: Game winning shot or game winning steel?

639
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a tough one.

640
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 9: That's really tough.

641
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 4: Probably probably a steal, a game winning steal. I got

642
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 4: those a couple of times. It's just something different about

643
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 4: locking down on defense for the game.

644
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 9: Wouldn't play, but.

645
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: You know, not everybody wants to play defense, especially now.

646
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 9: Oh absolutely, that's why it's such an art.

647
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 2: Okay, but when did you I'm gonna guess your dad.

648
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 4: Said absolutely, Yeah, absolutely. You know I was always told that,

649
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 4: you know, you're the smallest one on the floor. You

650
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 4: got to bring something different, you know, because a lot

651
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: of these girls have heights, so it's a lot easier

652
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: for them to, you know, just be skilled.

653
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 9: In one thing.

654
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 4: Being smaller was like I had to be skilled in

655
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 4: defense because I didn't know how to score over.

656
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 9: Bigger, bigger girls, and so I just play like that

657
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 9: all the time. I always saw a defense wins championships.

658
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: I love your defense, I know you score. But I

659
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: you know, when you see somebody who wants to play defense,

660
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: and you gotta want to play defense. Absolutely, some people

661
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 2: play defense, they don't want to play defense. But what

662
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 2: would you say to kids about playing defense?

663
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think defense will keep you on the floor longer.

664
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 4: You know, when you're able to lock down your defender.

665
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 4: Coaches love that. I was always taught, you know, control

666
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 4: what you can control. You know, you can't control if

667
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 4: your shot is falling one game, but you can always

668
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 4: control your defenses mindset and just taking pride and not

669
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 4: letting anybody scrow on you.

670
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 2: If you were going to play pick up and you

671
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: needed it was a two one two, and I said,

672
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: you could pick one of my guys here just by looks.

673
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: What guy are you taking to be uh as your partner? Yeah?

674
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: Just them, there's no one else. I'm sorry. That's my

675
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 2: starting lineup, and that's my starting lineup. That's that's my

676
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 2: fab five.

677
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 9: Who can shoot? Which one can shoot? I heard you

678
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 9: was a shooter, but I heard you didn't pass.

679
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: So no, I don't pass. Yeah, no, I shoot, And

680
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: I didn't play defense either. But if you left me open,

681
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take your lunch.

682
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 9: Money. That's what I need. Anybody who can shooting.

683
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: I could set picks, yeah, like that seating in the

684
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: upper right. It can shoot. Yeah, he can shoot. Marvin

685
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: is kind of our James Harden left hand or he

686
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: can be he can be good and he and be

687
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: bad and he doesn't pass either. And you don't want

688
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 2: Todd at all?

689
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: Why is that?

690
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 5: I know I only go left, but I've got that nice,

691
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 5: inconsistent hook shot from there.

692
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: I got that Kareem thing though, and once in a

693
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: while goes in. Uh, do you watch the championship game?

694
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: You know, not playing in a championship game, but do

695
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: you watch those games? Can you watch somebody else play basketball?

696
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 6: Yeah?

697
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: I can watch other people play basketball. But if we

698
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 4: just lost in the in the tournament, then I don't watch.

699
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: Too painful?

700
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 9: Oh yeah absolutely.

701
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 4: It's like dang, like, what have been different to get

702
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 4: in this position? And it's just like I'd rather go

703
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 4: be in the gym.

704
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: But what game do you replay in your mind or

705
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: keeps you up at night? Is there one that keeps

706
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: haunting you?

707
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 4: Every Sweet sixteen game that I've been to, that as

708
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: as I keep haunting me?

709
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: But what is that pressure like when we talk about

710
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: regular season pressure and then you know conference and then

711
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: you get to the NCAA tournament. Yeah.

712
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's so different because you think just during the

713
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 4: regular season, it's like you have another game. If you lose, okay,

714
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: we can fix it, we can figure out our mistakes.

715
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 4: Once you start getting into you know, play its win

716
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 4: or go home. And it's different because it's like a

717
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 4: lot of these girls last time ever putting on a

718
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 4: Notre Dame jersey.

719
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 9: You're ever putting on a jersey at all.

720
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 4: So it's like you're finding for something bigger than you know,

721
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 4: just yourself, like your teammates, who was the last time playing,

722
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 4: And it's just like it's scary.

723
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 9: Every game is scary.

724
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: What's the most points you scored in the game. Oh,

725
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, grade school, high school.

726
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 9: Grade school, in high school.

727
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 4: I think it was like forty one or something forty

728
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 4: five or something like that, anywhere between that range.

729
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 2: Want to pass the ball a little.

730
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 4: More, Yeah, I probably should have what we want, So

731
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 4: that's all that matters.

732
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, But you never scored like fifty and

733
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: when you're in grade school.

734
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 4: In grade school, yeah, probably, but it was middle school,

735
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 4: so I don't remember those days they were blowing teams off.

736
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: By fifty points. Do you have keys to the gym

737
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: if you want to go in after hours?

738
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 7: Oh?

739
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 4: Yeah absolutely, it's open twenty four to seven for you,

740
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: for everybody, for all of us.

741
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: Wait, like for me, No, not for you, but like,

742
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: waa need to get shots up? I go in the lab.

743
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: That's what you need to do.

744
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 9: That's exactly what we need to do. But any any

745
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 9: of the players have access.

746
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: Who do you think is a better shoot me or

747
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: you're dead?

748
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 7: Oh?

749
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 4: I don't remember my dad being able to shoot.

750
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: Who taught you to shoot?

751
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 9: You know, it's crazy.

752
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 4: My youngest brother, who's two years younger than me, swore

753
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 4: he taught me how to shoot.

754
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 9: But I started playing when I was.

755
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 4: Four, so I mean she was like two years old.

756
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, probably probably my parents. They had me in

757
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 4: the gym all the time, teaching me how to shoot.

758
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: Do you think we'll get to a point where you'll

759
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: have basketball women's players leaving after their freshman year sophomore year.

760
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 4: I would think the way the woman's game is evolving,

761
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 4: it's it's very possible, it's very likely. But I think

762
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 4: for me, I personally just wouldn't do it because I

763
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 4: just want to enjoy my you know, time in college.

764
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: Well how important is that degree to you? Oh?

765
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 9: Absolutely?

766
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 4: Notre dame degree, and you know, drum my recruitment process.

767
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 4: It was like once you get the not dame, once

768
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 4: you graduate, it's like, if you want to go be

769
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 4: a clown somewhere, you can find somebody and find an

770
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 4: alumni that's there with you.

771
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 9: So it's like, you know, just the connections and just

772
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 9: to the degree just set you up for life.

773
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: Okay, just to be clear, you don't want to be

774
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: a clown.

775
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: No, I don't want to.

776
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 4: Be a cloud, But if I wanted to, there's opportunity anywhere.

777
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: But you're in film, though, aren't you.

778
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 10: I am.

779
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 9: I'm a f T teen mager.

780
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: What do you want to do?

781
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 4: Probably after playing, after coaching, maybe in the broadcasting me

782
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 4: in front of the camera, just because I love the game.

783
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 9: I know the game.

784
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 2: Oh so not be like an actress?

785
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 9: No no, no, no no, no, something with sports.

786
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so you want to do what I'm doing?

787
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 9: Absolutely?

788

Speaker 2: Hanna Hidalgo broadcasters. Just to let you know, I got

790
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: dog in me. Look, I could tell yeah, I'm ready.

791
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 2: I slapped the floor. By the way, when I play defense.

792
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 9: I thought you didn't play the events.

793
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: No, I give the impression that never stopped at I

794
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: always laugh when I see guys slap the floor and go,

795
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: what are you doing? That doesn't intimidate anybody.

796
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 9: Get them fired up, gets them going, Yeah.

797
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: That doesn't stop me. The only way to stop me

798
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: was with a handgun. And league league rules frowned upon that. Oh,

799
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding, I'm being serious. Really, yeah, jeez, good

800
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: luck this season.

801
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,200

Speaker 2: All right, And if you want to be the face

803
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: of college basketball, you have no joines with that face,

804
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 2: that personality, and you'll be the face of college basketball.

805
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,600

00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: Catholic just beat modern day Carson Palmer on the program.

815
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 2: Look at you, big successful head coach there. When I

816
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: say Notre Dame, first thing that comes to mind is.

817
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 7: What phenomenal memories? You know. I was a Notre Dame.

818
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 11: Recruit, really wanted to go to Notre Dame, went on

819
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 11: a trip there, went on an official visit, went to

820
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 11: a camp there, kind of fell in love with it,

821
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 11: so it was a special place to me. And then

822
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 11: at the end, just USC won my heart and got me.

823
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 7: But we had some.

824
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 11: Great battles against them, and obviously one of the best,

825
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 11: one of the best, you know, traditions in all of

826
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 11: college football.

827
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: Wait, how did they win your heart?

828
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 7: They were Notre Dame.

829
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 2: You No, how did USC win your heart or steal

830
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: your heart?

831
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 11: Well, coach, you know the coaching staff. I got really

832
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 11: close to the coaching staff. I was close to home.

833
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 11: I was only an hour hour and a half away,

834
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 11: so I got a chance to spend some more time

835
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 11: at SC on campus. I got to talk to a

836
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 11: bunch of the guys that were part of that recruiting class,

837
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 11: and just at the end of the day, I wanted

838
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 11: to stay close to home, where my family could watch

839
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 11: me play.

840
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 2: Do you have to call certain coaches to say I'm

841
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: not coming to your school?

842
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 7: I did. I did. That was tough.

843
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 11: That was that was That was the first kind of

844
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 11: big boy moment of my life because I got you know,

845
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 11: I got close to coaches throughout that process, and I

846
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 11: remember when I had I remember the day I had

847
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 11: to call Rick new Heiseel. Rick new Heisel was at

848
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 11: University of Colorado. I loved Colorado, spent some time there

849
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 11: as well, and Coach new Heiseel recruited me hard and often,

850
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 11: and I had to had to make that call. I

851
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 11: had to let him know and and I could hear

852
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 11: the disappointment in his voice. And so that is a

853
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 11: part of it. That is a big part of it.

854
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: I know.

855
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 11: I feel like the public doesn't really understand that. They think, oh, whatever,

856
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 11: everybody's up for grabs now. But you create these relationships,

857
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 11: You create these connections. They come and watch you play,

858
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 11: they come and watch you practice, You spend time with them,

859
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 11: and there is a real genuine connection.

860
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 7: And it's hard for these kids to have to do.

861
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: You got a wild recruiting story. You don't have to

862
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 2: have any names.

863
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 6: But.

864
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 11: I'll tell you what Rick new. Heizel knew how to recruit.

865
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 11: We had a blast at Colorado. In one recruiting weekend.

866
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 11: We went paintballing, We floated down the river and inner

867
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 11: tubes and ended at a barbecue. He rented out a

868
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 11: bar and let only the football recruits and girls from

869
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 11: campus in.

870
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 2: We and you turn that down, No, you couldn't turn.

871
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 7: Any of it down. It was phenomenal. The food we ate.

872
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 11: You know, he was flying in lobsters from Maine and

873
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 11: crab cakes from Baltimore.

874
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 7: It was amazing. He knew how to recruit.

875
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: Dang, and you passed that up. Well, you probably got

876
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 2: that at USC too, right, It was pretty good at c.

877
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 2: Now you're a high school coach, I'm curious about the

878
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: quarterbacking position and what is being taught. And it just

879
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: feels like everybody's in shotgun and nobody's under center. And

880
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 2: you know, we keep repeating these patterns, these habits. These

881
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: guys are going to get to college and kind of

882
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 2: get away with things or try to get away with

883
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 2: things out of the shotgun. How does it work with

884
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: your quarterbacks?

885
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 11: Well, we spend time in shotgun, But if you look

886
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 11: at the college game, there's a lot of kids in

887
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 11: the shotgun in college as well. We also spend a

888
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 11: ton of time, especially in spring ball. We spent a

889
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 11: majority of spring under center just to learn it and

890
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 11: understand it. But you know, we're running the same stuff

891
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 11: that I was running in the NFL, the stuff that

892
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 11: I was taught, and you know, all the plays and

893
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 11: concepts and reasons why you throw into this coverage and

894
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 11: away from this coverage that I was taught from all

895
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 11: the amazing coaches I was able to play for. So

896
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 11: we're we're running in NFL style system. We're definitely in shotgun.

897
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 11: We're under center a bit, but that's where the college

898
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 11: game is. And you know, I don't think it's that

899
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 11: much easier under center because what people don't realize is

900
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 11: or i'm sorry, in shotgun. What people don't realize is

901
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 11: when you're in shotgun, you have to take your eyes

902
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 11: off the defense. When you're under center, you get to

903
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 11: see it all unfold. So you see the pre snap,

904
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 11: you see the pre snap coverage, and then you see

905
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 11: the snap post snap coverage unfold after the snap as

906
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 11: it's developing.

907
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 7: We're in shotgun.

908
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 11: It's hard because you got to look up see the

909
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 11: defense and then find that ball and then look up

910
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 11: and the picture is a little bit different.

911
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 7: So you know, I don't think it's a crutch. I

912
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 7: think it.

913
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 11: Makes a little bit easier on the center quarterback exchange.

914
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 7: But again, you still see.

915
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 11: It at the high school level and at the college

916
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 11: level snaps flying over guys heads and bouncing on the ground.

917
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 11: So you know, we we spend quite a bit of

918
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 11: time in both, and I think you see a bunch

919
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 11: of kids in college playing in the shotgun.

920
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 2: But I love under center, and I always go back

921
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: to a conversation I have with Joe Montana. He said,

922
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: you know, he sees shotgun, but he said I loved

923
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: under center because I'm getting the ball and everything is

924
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 2: in real time, so as I'm moving, defense is moving.

925
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 2: And he said it helped me kind of sync up

926
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: when I was going to throw a pack like I

927
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: got in rhythm. It allowed me to get back in

928
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: the pocket and then step up in the pocket. And

929
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: I think these quarterbacks now they're back in the pocket

930
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: and then they either scramble right or left.

931
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 7: That's a big piece of it. Another big piece of it,

932
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 7: too is the run game.

933
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 11: So when you're under center, and you have a run

934
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 11: to the right, and that's a bad look. There's too

935
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 11: many guys on the defensive side.

936
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 7: On that side of the ball.

937
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 11: When you're under center, you can throw the ball on

938
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 11: these quick slants and quick hitches and get the ball

939
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 11: in receiver's hands much quicker than you can from shotgun

940
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 11: because it takes a minute from the ball to get

941
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 11: from center to the shotgun. So from the run game perspective,

942
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 11: I think there's some advantages as well. The quicker you

943
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 11: get the ball in and out of your hands and

944
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 11: in your playmaker's hands, the better.

945
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 7: So I think I think it goes both ways with

946
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 7: the run and pass.

947
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 2: We're talking to Carson Palmer, Heisman Trophy winner two thousand

948
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 2: and two and College Football Hall of Famer. You got

949
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers in their forties. How's that

950
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: possible in today's NFL in.

951
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 11: Some different color jerseys too, and some different looking helmets.

952
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 7: It's pretty amazing.

953
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 11: I don't think, you know, in twenty you know, seventeen,

954
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 11: any of us were thinking that Rogers will be wearing

955
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 11: the black and gold and Flacco would be wearing the stripes.

956
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 11: It just it doesn't you know, it doesn't feel right,

957
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 11: but it also shows you, you know, where the game

958
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 11: is and the development of these young quarterbacks. There's just

959
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 11: not you know, there's not enough good young quarterbacks going

960
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 11: around that the Bengals can't can't rely on somebody other

961
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 11: than a Flacco, and the.

962
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 7: Steelers can't rely or develop somebody other than a Rogers.

963
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 11: So I think it's you know, it's also a good

964
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 11: illustration of where the state of the game is as

965
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 11: far as quarterbacks and young quarterback play is.

966
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: But it still comes down to doing something from the pocket, right.

967
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 7: At the end of the day. You know, I've been

968
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 7: asked this.

969
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 11: There's been so many great quarterbacks that have come into

970
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 11: the game and been elite runners and great outside the pocket.

971
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 11: At the end of the day, you still and in

972
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,720
Speaker 11: order to play late into December and into January, you still,

973
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 11: in order to get there, you've got to be able

974
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 11: to stand in the pocket and deliver the football accurately.

975
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 7: Downfield when you're getting hit in the face.

976
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 11: And I know, it's fun to watch quarterbacks drop back

977
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 11: and scramble and you know, run thirty five yards to

978
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 11: get seven, you know, on third and six, and you

979
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 11: see him flying all over the place. But at the

980
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 11: end of the day, you know, you look at what

981
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 11: Tom Brady did and his accomplishments. He was standing in

982
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 11: the pocket and delivering the ball accurately down the field

983
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 11: when he was getting hit in the mouth.

984
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: But you see these quarterbacks now who have that first

985
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: read and then they pass up the first read. It's

986
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 2: almost like it's there. Now, I'm looking for something else,

987
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you scramble out of

988
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 2: the pocket and you take away half the field when

989
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 2: you do that. We've seen this with Caleb with you know, Cam,

990
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 2: like these young quarterbacks, as much talent as they have,

991
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 2: you got away with that in high school and college.

992
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 2: You can't get away with that in the pros.

993
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 11: Then you sound like me and all of our offensive

994
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 11: meetings from talking with our quarterbacks or receivers in my line,

995
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 11: I say it to them over and over again, if

996
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 11: you don't throw it, they won't cover it.

997
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 7: We're talking about the flat, the quick out.

998
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, if you don't throw the flat, they won't

999
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 11: cover it. So when it's open, you got to take it.

1000
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 11: You can't go from your first read into your second

1001
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 11: read and then go oh no, shoot, it's covered and

1002
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 11: then go back to your first read.

1003
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 7: And so you know, you sound a lot like me.

1004
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 7: I'm preaching that every day in meetings.

1005
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 11: You know, we're seven weeks in in our season at

1006
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 11: Santa Margarita.

1007
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 7: And I'm saying the same thing. It doesn't matter if

1008
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 7: you're in the NFL.

1009
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 11: If you're in high school, if you're in fifth grade

1010
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 11: playing pee wee pop worn or football. It's so much

1011
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 11: more fun to throw the ball downfield. It's so much

1012
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 11: more fun to thread the needle. But what's effective is

1013
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 11: taking that first read and getting the ball out of

1014
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 11: your hands and make in the defense all sprint over there,

1015
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 11: run and then have to get that guy on the ground.

1016
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 2: What is that feeling like when you know you've got

1017
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 2: a receiver open and you know you're going to get crushed,

1018
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 2: but you have to stand there, take it, and then

1019
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,240
Speaker 2: you're able to deliver that pass.

1020
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 11: Either love it or you hate it. And I loved it.

1021
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 11: I kind of took that as a badge of honor.

1022
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 11: You know, nothing felt better than letting the ball go.

1023
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 11: And right when you let it go, you get crushed,

1024
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 11: and then you feel that defender breathing down your neck,

1025
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 11: talking trash and as you're getting up, you just say, oh,

1026
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 11: they're moving the change, here we go.

1027
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 7: So that that feeling and you know, those those aren't

1028
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 7: the ones that hurt.

1029
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 11: The ones that hurt are the ones that you're ready

1030
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 11: for and you're absorbing and you're trying to tense up.

1031
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 7: Kind of like being in a car crash.

1032
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 11: They say, you know, when when somebody's you know, drunk

1033
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 11: behind the wheel, they never end up getting hurt in

1034
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 11: the crash because you don't you're not ready for it.

1035
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 11: It's much like that when you're focused downfield and you're

1036
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 11: getting ready to let the ball rip and you throw it.

1037
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 11: Your body isn't anticipating that contact, so you kind of

1038
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 11: just absorb it as opposed to tense up and fight it.

1039
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 2: Is there one that stands out that maybe still hurts.

1040
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1041
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 11: You remember remember Sean big Baby Rogers University of Texas defensive lineman.

1042
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 7: He was in He was in.

1043
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 11: Cleveland, and I don't know how it happened. It was

1044
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 11: the last game of the season, but he landed up

1045
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 11: or he ended up. I was on my back and

1046
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 11: he sat on me. He fell from the sky, but

1047
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 11: first right on my chest, and to this day he

1048
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 11: dislocated my sternum from my rib cage, and to this day,

1049
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 11: I still feel that big, big baby Sean Rodgers, phenomenal player,

1050
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 11: unreal player. I think he's in Detroit in Cleveland as well,

1051
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 11: but he landed right and I just felt almost like

1052
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 11: a CPR when you're getting CPR those compressions. He did

1053
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 11: his compressions with all three seventy of himself.

1054
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 2: Are you is your high school team? The fighting Margarita's

Speaker 2: I know that that was always a big day, didn't

1111
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 2: They had a bunch of what Barkley did Liner go

1119
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 2: Paully has this bad habit of whenever we have Kerrent

1120
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 2: or former football players on, he wants to know what

1121
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: it feels like to either be blocked or tackled by them.

1122
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: Last time we had Marcus Freeman, Marcus shows up and

1123
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 2: he says, you're the guy I hit last time, and

1124
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 2: and Paully's sizing him up and he goes looks like

1125
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 2: coach has lost a little bit of weight there the season.

1126
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 2: We're not doing that.

1127
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 6: I'm retired.

1128
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 2: You're not going to put a So is he not

1129
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 2: going to put a helmet on? Yes, Marvin.

1130
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 6: The scariest part was it was a slow motion demonstration.

1131
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 7: Hey, I could hear.

1132
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 2: That's a slow motion He's Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame head coaches,

1133
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 2: fifth season and played, of course at Ohio State, the

1134
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 2: Ohio State drafted by the Bears, your Bears in the

1135
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 2: fifth round of two thousand and nine. As we make

1136
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: way for Marcus Freeman back on the program, Look at you.

1137
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 6: How you're doing.

1138
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, you know. Nice to talk to a

1139
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 2: fellow Buckeye.

1140
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 6: Here Ohio ohioing.

1141
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 10: Oh, I'm sorry, that's what we're saying around here.

1142
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 2: How would you compare because it came down to Notre

1143
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: Dame in Ohio State for you, right? What was it

1144
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 2: about Ohio State that made you, even though you're from

1145
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 2: all but that you chose Ohio State over Notre Dame.

1146
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 6: Were really getting into this, huh.

1147
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 2: Let's just get the tough questions out of the way

1148
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: and then we'll have the easy ones.

1149
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,919
Speaker 10: I think they always come down to relationships. A lot

1150
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 10: of decisions, especially for young people, are about relationships. I

1151
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 10: just went through this with my son who committed to

1152
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 10: Cornell for wrestling, and as a parent, you have your

1153
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 10: reasons for why you make decisions, but young people still

1154
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 10: base a lot of their decisions off of relationships. And

1155
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 10: I think that was probably the eighteen year old Marcus

1156
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 10: Freeman that made.

1157
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 6: That decision based off relationships.

1158
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 2: Comparing contrast USC Notre Dame versus Ohio State Michigan.

1159
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 6: Very similar.

1160
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 10: If you're in one of the schools, right, if you're

1161
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 10: in it, so Notre Dame USC, when you're a part

1162
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 10: of this football program, there's nothing bigger than that rivalry.

1163
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 10: And I think the same thing is if you go

1164
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 10: to Ohio State or Michigan, you're from Ohio, there's probably

1165
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 10: nothing bigger than that rivalry.

1166
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 6: And so.

1167
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 10: For us when we talk about this, this rivalry versus USC,

1168
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 10: the longest intersectional rivalry meaning interconference, right, and I mean

1169
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, not interconference, but not in the same conference.

1170
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 10: And that's what makes it special. It's kind of the

1171
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 10: foundation of Notre Dame and the ability to go and say, hey,

1172
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 10: we'll play anywhere in the country. We don't have a

1173
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 10: conference and that's how this program was built and that's

1174
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 10: why it means a lot.

1175
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 6: I mean, it's been going on for many years.

1176
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but why is it in jeopardy?

1177
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 6: Listen? I don't.

1178
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 2: You know, do you want to talk about Ohio State?

1179
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 10: Look, you know there's decisions that institutions make based off

1180
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 10: conference you know, scheduling and things like that, and I

1181
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 10: know that's playing into some of the discussions that USC

1182
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 10: is having. I'm sure with our administration and the higher ups.

1183
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 10: I'm sure, are you know, going back and forth on

1184
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 10: maybe little details.

1185
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 6: I think so, I don't know.

1186
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 2: You know, it feels like the USC it's tough for

1187
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 2: to throw in another great opponent when you're in the

1188
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 2: Big ten, when there's quality opponents and you know, you

1189
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 2: can't have three losses and be in the playoffs. Like,

1190
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 2: let's just look at the business side of this. It

1191
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 2: feels like USC means more to Notre Dame than Notre

1192
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:40,280
Speaker 2: Dame means to USC.

1193
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1194
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 10: I don't know what we mean to them, but I

1195
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 10: know it means a lot to us. It does the rivalry,

1196
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 10: the quality of opponent, the respect for the program. It

1197
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 10: is a it does mean a lot to this university

1198
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 10: and this football program, and we want to see it continue.

1199
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 2: What was it like first time you took the field

1200
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,439
Speaker 2: as the head coach at Notre Dame.

1201
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 6: Man, it's a it's a blur. I know.

1202
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 10: It was uh in Phoenix, Arizona, Scottsdale. We were playing uh, Oregon,

1203
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 10: you know, Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl, and uh,

1204
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 10: you don't know. What you don't know, you know is

1205
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 10: adrenaline rush. You're running out there. I'm used to being

1206
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 10: a defensive coordinator, and then all of a sudden there

1207
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 10: was moments in a game like I got a call

1208
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 10: time on, Like oh, somebody called time out to me,

1209
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 10: you know, and so.

1210
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 2: All the things that you kind of weren't involved in,

1211
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah you're involved in. Yeah.

1212
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 10: Amen, Now you have to be the one to make

1213
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 10: those decisions, and so you learn through experience.

1214
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 6: But that first one was a it was a blur.

1215
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 2: But how important was it to make your debut in

1216
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 2: a bowl game as opposed to starting your career during

1217
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,280
Speaker 2: the regular season. Did it matter?

1218
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 10: You know?

1219
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 6: Did it matter.

1220
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 10: I don't know what it would be like to not

1221
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 10: start a career not in a bowl game, you know,

1222
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 10: so it's hard for me to compare what that's like.

1223
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 10: You know, we played Oklahoma State. We had time to

1224
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 10: get ready for that opponent. But you wanted to say,

1225
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 10: I mean, you had transition, You're a new head coach,

1226
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 10: you had some guys that didn't play in the game,

1227
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 10: you had to put you know who's playing.

1228
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 6: It was a.

1229
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 10: Unique time, and there's unique times and challenging times today,

1230
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 10: But I know in that moment, it was just a

1231
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 10: whirlwind of different things trying to figure this thing out.

1232
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 2: But you're navigating and this is nil and transfer portal

1233
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 2: and it's just not coaching football. Like if it was

1234
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 2: just coaching football, you'd probably have a saban would probably

1235
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 2: still be coaching. But you throw in all the other

1236
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 2: stuff here.

1237
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're leading the program. You you have to be adaptable.

1238
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 10: You're not just yeah, as you said, a football coach.

1239
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 10: You're You're a person that wears many hats and you

1240
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 10: have to figure out what's.

1241
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 6: Important at that given time.

1242
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 10: And I think that's what leadership is, is that if

1243
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 10: it's a recruiting hat, if it's an il hat if

1244
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 10: it's a football hat that you got to wear all

1245
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 10: those different things. It's the ability to put one on,

1246
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 10: take one off, and really focus on what needs to be,

1247
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 10: what needs to have your focus at that given moment.

1248
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,959
Speaker 2: Well, it's almost like practice or games are the best

1249
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 2: part of all of this because you're not worrying about

1250
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 2: all the other nonsense.

1251
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, you enjoy that.

1252
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 10: That's probably the time you really get to be a

1253
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 10: part of what attracted you to this profession, right, being

1254
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 10: around the players, leading them, but also football, Like you

1255
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 10: love the game of football, and you love the competition,

1256
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 10: and you know Saturday is a reflection of how you.

1257
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 6: Practice, and so yeah, you enjoy that probably the most.

1258
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 2: We're talking to Marcus Freeman, a Notre Dame head coach

1259
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,720
Speaker 2: and of course hosting U. See, we had Brady Quinn

1260
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 2: on first hour. He said, your quarterback's best quarterback in

1261
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 2: the country.

1262
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 6: He said that, Yeah, I appreciate it, man, he would know.

1263
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 6: I mean, he's he's he's a quarter.

1264
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 2: He says he's playing better than everybody, anybody. And he said,

1265
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 2: but he said, the tape doesn't lie. Now, I know

1266
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 2: he's your quarterback, but tell me how you got him,

1267
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,919
Speaker 2: and what did you think you got when you brought

1268
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 2: him in?

1269
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's a unique recruiting experience talking about

1270
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 10: the grandson of Lloyd Carr. I actually played in some

1271
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 10: games against Lloyd Carr, and uh, you know, you have

1272
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 10: his grandson that has interest in Notre Dame and it's

1273
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 10: real interest, and then you're you're able to grow a

1274
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 10: relationship and convincing. And he he felt that this was

1275
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 10: the best place for him, and I knew at.

1276
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 6: That moment he was different. Right to a kid that.

1277
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 10: Grows up in ann Arbor, Michigan has legacies of Michigan

1278
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 10: ties and to say I want to come to Notre Dame.

1279
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 10: That showed you he's a leader. He's he doesn't follow trends,

1280
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 10: and then you get them here. And we got him

1281
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 10: here for bowl practice we were getting ready for I

1282
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 10: can't remember.

1283
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 6: I think it was two years. I can't remember who

1284
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 6: we were getting ready to play.

1285
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 10: But he comes in, he's supposed to be in high

1286
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 10: school and he starts practicing with us for a bowl game.

1287
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 10: And he was a scout team quarterback. And I'll never forget,

1288
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 10: like there was a time.

1289
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 2: So he graduated early from high school.

1290
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, and it was this new rule that if you

1291
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 10: graduated early, you could come and practice with a college team,

1292
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 10: but you couldn't participate in the bowl game. But I

1293
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 10: just remember it was one time he gets yelled at

1294
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 10: by our defense coordinator at the time for not throwing

1295
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 10: the ball maybe somewhere he's supposed to throw it. And

1296
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 10: to see him respond most kids would melt right And

1297
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 10: to see him respond and say yes, sir, next time

1298
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 10: and just go and go. And I mean, I was like,

1299
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 10: this kid should be in high school. He's different man.

1300
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 10: And now two years later, he has a unique Yes,

1301
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 10: he's a really good quarterback, he's blessed with great skills,

1302
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 10: but he has a unique trait that not many people have.

1303
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 10: And that's that competitive spirit, that's that leadership mentality that

1304
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 10: he has.

1305
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 6: And he's pretty special.

1306
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 2: The schedule, I don't know if you had any say

1307
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 2: in the schedule to start the year. Did you have

1308
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 2: any say in playing Miami at Miami or I.

1309
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 6: Don't know when that game was schedule, But I wouldn't

1310
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 6: have said no.

1311
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but those are two tough games right out

1312
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 2: of the right out of the gate. But can you

1313
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 2: have good losses? You ever had a good loss.

1314
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 10: No loss is good loss, Losing is awful. But I

1315
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 10: always say be grateful for the pain of loss, because

1316
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 10: that pain is there to help you grow.

1317
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 6: It's uncomfortable.

1318
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 10: It's no different than physically, when you have a cut

1319
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 10: on your arm, you want to do things to stop

1320
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 10: the pain, right. The same thing when you lose a game.

1321
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 10: The pain is there for you to learn from it,

1322
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 10: to get better and to make that pain go away.

1323
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 10: So I always it stinks to lose. Nobody wants to lose,

1324
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 10: especially if you're a competitor, but you have to utilize

1325
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 10: that pain to help you grow. And so yeah, it's

1326
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 10: it's a good loss in that sense that the pain

1327
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 10: was there to help us get better, and I believe

1328
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 10: we did.

1329
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 2: What do you remember about being drafted by the Bears?

1330
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 6: It was a lot.

1331
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 10: The weight was always I always tell our guys, the

1332
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 10: weight's going to be longer than you expect, all right,

1333
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 10: because you always hear a range of slots that you

1334
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 10: can go. And it was a long couple days for

1335
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 10: me and and but when you get the call, it's

1336
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 10: that childhood dream. I got drafted to the NFL and

1337
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 10: then Lovey Smith was the head coach at the time,

1338
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 10: and they had Brian Urlacker and Lance Briggs and Jay

1339
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 10: Cutler was a quarterback. I mean, you were living to dreaming.

1340
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 10: Then you get there and you say, oh, this is

1341
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 10: a job. It's not as much a dream, it's a job.

1342
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 10: And it was a great experience one that I'll cherish.

1343
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 10: And uh, it was short.

1344
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 6: I wouldn't.

1345
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 10: I wouldn't. I wasn't there for too long. But it

1346
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 10: was a great opportunity.

1347
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 2: But when did you realize there was a difference between

1348
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 2: you and Brian r Locker or Lancebrigg's playing linebacker.

1349
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 6: Well, when you see.

1350
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 10: Brian Urlacker, you realize right away, like, oh, there's a

1351
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 10: big difference between us, you know. But the knowledge that

1352
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 10: they had so how fast they played the game because

1353
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 10: the knowledge they had clarity in terms of what was

1354
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 10: being asked of them. And that was a huge transition

1355
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 10: for me to learn a Tampa two defense something new

1356
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 10: and to try to play fast.

1357
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 6: Like everybody you recruit. Here's how I use it in college.

1358
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 6: Everybody you recruit is really good in high school.

1359
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 10: Why because they're playing fast they have clarity on what

1360
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 10: they're being asked to do. The guys that come here

1361
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 10: and learn the playbook and what they're being asked to do,

1362
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:04,479
Speaker 10: and play with.

1363
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 6: That clarity, the guys usually play earliest.

1364
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 10: And so that's probably what I realize more anything, is that,

1365
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 10: hey man, those guys understand the ins and outs of

1366
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 10: everything they're being asked to do.

1367
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 2: But you bring up something really interesting is we look

1368
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 2: at guys who are quick and fast, but if you

1369
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 2: know where you're going, you're even quicker and you're faster, right,

1370
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 2: And I think that that's underrated. Sometimes we go, boy,

1371
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 2: that guy's got God given ability. But if Urlocker knows

1372
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 2: I have to go there and I'm already fast to

1373
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 2: get there, I'm even faster, And that that's where they

1374
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 2: disrupt plays.

1375
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 10: On defense always we have a saying clarity equals velocity,

1376
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 10: and so the more clarity you have, the faster you're

1377
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 10: going to be able to play. And that's what we

1378
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 10: have to do as coaches is create clarity for our

1379
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 10: guys to go out there and play fast.

1380
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 2: How far is your office from here?

1381
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 6: A couple hundred yards?

1382
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, not too far. What is it like? Did

1383
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 2: you ever walk this campus by yourself?

1384
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 6: First?

1385
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 2: Got this job?

1386
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 7: Like?

1387
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 2: If you can't help but see history oh yeah, But

1388
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how that it impacts me every time

1389
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 2: I walk this campus. But it's like West Point when

1390
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 2: you're there, I mean, you're a whole different world. Yeah,

1391
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 2: and there are very few campuses like that with this history.

1392
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 2: But I didn't know if you ever found yourself you're

1393
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 2: just walking the campus and really letting it sink in

1394
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 2: of where you are.

1395
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 6: I do it often. I still do it to this day.

1396
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 10: I remember when I came here when I was looking

1397
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 10: at potentially being a defensive coordinator, and I was with

1398
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 10: my wife, and I remember saying, this is the most

1399
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 10: beautiful campus I've ever been on, and it was just perfect.

1400
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 6: All right.

1401
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 10: It's a hard way to describe it, but I still

1402
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 10: do it to this day. I run on campus. I'll

1403
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 10: walk early in the morning and sometimes go by the

1404
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 10: Golden Domans, And it's a reminder of the gratitude that

1405
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 10: you have for this place, the history of this place,

1406
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 10: the people that have come before you. And I think

1407
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 10: for me, it's the responsible to continue to make it better,

1408
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 10: to elevate it. And uh, it's a it's a great responsibility,

1409
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 10: but a great reminder as you look around this place.

1410
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 2: Did you cry when you got the head coaching John.

1411
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 10: No, No, I didn't. That doesn't mean I wasn't emotional.

1412
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: Your players were emotional. Yeah, I mean it's a great video.

1413
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 2: That video is wonderful, but it's a testament to you.

1414
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 2: It's a testament to they got the right guy.

1415
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 6: I hope. So I hope, I hope. You know, I

1416
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 6: don't you know.

1417
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 10: I look at that moment and I was just as

1418
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 10: excited to go greet them as as the video showed

1419
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 10: they were to greet me. I think it's it's a

1420
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 10: reflection of a group of players and a coach that

1421
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 10: have either earned trust or choose to trust each other, right,

1422
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 10: Like they trusted me to be the head coach, and

1423
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 10: I trust that I'm going to help them reach their goals.

1424
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 6: And so we're in this together.

1425
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 10: Like that's how I view this thing, all right, that

1426
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 10: that Yeah, you're the head coach. You have to lead,

1427
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 10: you have to have the vision and the plan and

1428
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 10: the process. But we're in this together. We succeed together,

1429
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 10: and when we have difficult moments, we have those together

1430
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 10: and we all have to own it.
