We got the spring 23 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.560 game coming up on us in a couple of days here in these lands, 24 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.840 saying jay u otis you all were our practice to day? Like, what 25 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.719 did you guys see? What did you think? First of all, great 26 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:58.000 weather, we never get that, rarely get that in Michigan. Opportunity just 27 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.599 to go out there and instead of in the weave, which is our indoor 28 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.240 facility, you still have a turf field outside and you have a grass field 29 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.879 and you have to do special teams in tanne with the script that's going on 30 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:14.960 with practice. But it was high speed compared to what he was when I 31 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:19.479 was there two weeks ago on Saturday. So guys looking a little bit fresh 32 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.319 and they're waiting just to end the spring ball and have a great, great 33 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.680 spring game on Saturday. Yeah. I loved it because you get out there, 34 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.360 the weather was nice that that took it another level. You had an 35 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.879 extra bounce in your step. The players had an extra bouncing this step. 36 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.560 There were some recruits out there, coaches out there, and it was just 37 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.000 a great opportunity to go out and see Spartan football because the last time I've 38 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.520 seen Spartan football was you know, during the season, and now yeah it 39 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.319 was cold, yeah, and now it's you know, getting out there to 40 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.840 see what the future is going to look like for Spartan football. So really 41 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.840 excited about it. I saw a lot of guys flying around today, a 42 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.520 lot of optimism, you know, and Otis you said it. You know, 43 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.639 you talked about the secondary and what they could do. And the little 44 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:12.560 that I saw was Mutch improvement. Oh you're a believer now, Oh believe 45 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.960 I said, it's watch improvement. I like the defense. I like the 46 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.680 defense. They were getting back there, they were getting home, the defensive 47 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.680 line were getting home. So it was really exciting to see. Yeah. 48 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:26.399 Well, we talked about all levels of the defense, the defensive line, 49 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:31.399 linebackers, the secondary, share working cohesive. It's legit, and I think 50 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.800 they've been building that really good this spring, capitalizing from last season. Coming 51 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.240 in. We got new bodies, new names, but a little fresh juice. 52 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.240 Man. I know, we got some guests that's gonna be able to 53 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.879 give a little bit more insight later down on our show. But I'm excited, 54 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.079 there's no doubt about it. We got some very special guests that we're 55 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:53.000 going to introduce a little later on the show that are on that defense that 56 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.000 we're talking about from Michigan State. Guys probably know who it is. You 57 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.279 know, it's Jacobe and Cal. They're they're waiting patiently, maybe impatiently in 58 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.040 the background right now as we go through and talk about our synopsis of what 59 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:11.000 we saw today. I mean, have you ever seen campus like it was 60 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.040 today? Guys? No, It was was buzzing for some reason. It 61 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.000 was absolutely buzzing. I don't know if it's because it's the warm weather in 62 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.560 Michigan. People are in the court. It looked like a movie, like 63 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.839 you're driving around to tell people with lacrosse sticks you don't play lacrosse. People 64 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.560 playing beer farm. It was like makeshift pools. It was like one of 65 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.759 those movies that you would see that like, you know, this is how 66 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.439 college is supposed to be. Feel like it's like a bunch of extras actors, 67 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:41.480 right yeah, absolutely buzzing today and I love it, absolutely love It's 68 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.319 a great weekend in these lands in the spring game coming up with you know, 69 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.480 everything that's happened, the weather. I mean, look, we got 70 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.959 the garage door open. We're out downtown east Lands and Albert Street. People 71 00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.759 are walking the sidewalks. It's April in the summer. It out, Oh 72 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.040 yeah, check it out. Yeah, the Sunday best right here. You 73 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:14.920 know what, you gott got the gold, the gold going. Don't do 74 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:25.160 that chat. I'm like that, Oh yeah, absolutely nothing wrong with that. 75 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.680 Guys. I mean when you look at you know, we're talking about 76 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.959 the spring, and then recruiting is also a big part of the spring. 77 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.680 You're gonna have recruits coming here. We'll get into that after the spring game, 78 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.079 because I mean there's some guys who are still trying to figure out exactly 79 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.240 who's going to be coming up to campus. This is a big day around 80 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.000 the country when you look at it. April fifteenth is a big spring game 81 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.839 day. But let's look at the spring the recruiting spind that all the players 82 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:57.600 look look at this right here. So this is big ten recruiting spenders in 83 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:02.040 twenty twenty two. I always I want to ask how the report is built? 84 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.680 Like what are the analytics behind getting to this number? Like is there 85 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.279 some fluffing here? It's like, oh, we're gonna round up a little 86 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.959 bit, but it shows. And we talked about this in production and as 87 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.279 we talk every day, is that we see the team down the road number 88 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:24.199 one. They're back to back conference champions, they're in the college Football Playoff 89 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:31.879 back to back, and you see where we're landing ninth and just it's scary 90 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:39.480 because it's like, this is what's driving success. And I know for a 91 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.839 fact we have a great education of our NIO. I've been a part of 92 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:48.680 that. We're having a summit just today of honoring and reflecting and connecting people 93 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:54.240 with our student athletes with brands and like networking. We're doing the work. 94 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.360 It's really how is this? How is this report built? What was be 95 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.439 clear? This is not nil? Yes, this is not this is not 96 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.319 this. Yeah, you know, flights, recruits, official visits, all 97 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:15.040 those things that you do in order to speak a young person's interest in coming 98 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.040 to a school. That's what this is. When you look at Michigan at 99 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.240 two point two four, I think Georgia, when you look at the national 100 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.439 spending, it was like four and a half million, double what Michigan's doing. 101 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.360 Yeah, which is incredible. There's twenty one walking around here. Yeah. 102 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:30.480 Man, we got some guys coming in and check us out, some 103 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:35.840 former players, current players, whatever recruited thing. I think these numbers are 104 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.799 lower than what it actually is. You think, so, yes, I 105 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.840 think a lot like ours are higher than that, but it's like they don't 106 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.320 probably take and effect some other spending that I don't. I still think where 107 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.720 we are on the list, but I think the schools spent a little more 108 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.639 on that because, like, but it's almost embarrassing a little bit. You 109 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:03.320 look at you have a school like Rutgers and their second in recruiting. You 110 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.200 know, that's why they came to the Big ten, so that they can 111 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.919 get that Big ten money, you know, in that great market in the 112 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.279 New York City, New Jersey market there, and they can always pull in 113 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.120 great talent from that New Jersey New York City area there. But I think 114 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.320 it's we need to do more as a school. If we want to be 115 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.679 in the level when they compete in year and a year out for Big ten 116 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.200 titles, and we want to compete for national titles, we have to be 117 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:35.519 able to recruit with the top teams and so so does that include like the 118 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.960 helicopter flights for head coaches when they go see the recruit that they really like. 119 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.679 I think that's what this is, you know, representative of Airbnb shuttles. 120 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.200 No, it's not, and I mean it's it's it's It is good 121 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:54.600 to add to the volume of Hey, I'm going to do something maybe different. 122 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:56.159 I feel like Texas they do that all the time. I mean, 123 00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.440 that's being in Texas. But you, like I said, we don't know 124 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:05.440 what's fully in this report and collected around like that, spin like we may 125 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.600 be having a little bit more than what what's reflected, but it does show 126 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.399 the success. I know we're live. I'm gonna do a little something. 127 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.000 Can we ever shout out to the smarting dogs that's in there? Come on 128 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.919 over here, over here, we got some smarting dogs in the building. 129 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.759 Twenty one kid, Come on, we got some dogs in the building there. 130 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:37.639 You know what's up? Then? What's up? You can't even introduce 131 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.480 yourself and when you were here and everything like that. This is totally offscript. 132 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.159 This is not we have the script that's not on here, so we're 133 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.919 doing it. I guess what Spartan Dogs representing here? So let's get him 134 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.320 we go. Then I was here from twenty nine or fourteen, and I'm 135 00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:05.159 Todd seven to Paul Davis two six, and this is my first time and 136 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:16.320 I assu bar through fourteen David Thomas, well spun dog, yes, sir, 137 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.919 A long time ago. And that's any six one national champion. Yeah 138 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.840 yeah, yeah, yeah, national champion. But that's the beauty of it, 139 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.279 guys, Like I said, like, this is we're live, We're 140 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.759 going, but who cares?

New Eggs Benedicts in four delicious flavors only for my hop All right, 193 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.440 we've just been informed that there's a crowd of people that are thinking that 194 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:56.519 there's no Tucker at the tabe. I don't know what the ball black guy 195 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.879 coming. I love it dropping the pancakes in the chat. You know right 196 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:11.879 now the guys, let's bring on Cal and Jacobe. Welcome fellows, our 197 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:19.639 fellas doing it's linebacker you Jez talk to this guys. You know you both 198 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:26.360 being on the defense playing the linebacker position. How have you assessed the spring 199 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:33.279 so far? With fourteen practice under your belt one more to go? I 200 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.559 mean for the most part, uh, sprang has been some good times to 201 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.639 you know, compete with each other, be around you know, new guys 202 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.159 that that's coming in and just you know, get a feel for what they 203 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.159 could do on it field. So uh, I think spring bar has been 204 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:56.639 pretty much. But we have guys that we have that's also on the injury 205 00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.799 list that we're looking forward to get well. Yeah, I think spring balls 206 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.720 just a really good time to learn and it's a good time to get everything 207 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.200 down pat and make your mistakes now because you don't want to be making mistakes 208 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.519 and fall because that's when it counts and that's when it matters. This is 209 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.960 when you see a lot of the young guys the flash and they'll see what 210 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.640 they can do. Like Jakoby said, this is when you learn. This 211 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.079 is a good adjustment period, I would say, especially for young guys to 212 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.079 figure everything out. I think spring is really important for young guys and really 213 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.240 learning everything. But it also gives us a chance to work on stuff that 214 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.839 maybe we didn't necessarily have down pat in the fall like last year, and 215 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:40.920 then just work on techniques and stuff. Yeah, you guys are now considered 216 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.240 bitch right, like you've been in a system for longer than a year or 217 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.920 two. And when you talk about the young guys, tell us about the 218 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:53.759 mentorship of we got some guys that come in that can make a difference and 219 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.519 plug and play where they need to be. But talk about the mentorship of 220 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.799 you knowing the playbook and then letting these guys coaching them nth to make sure 221 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.279 they get get brought up to speed. So when Paul, we're ready to 222 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:10.319 rock, right, I mean for the most part, you know, they 223 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:14.599 always open and learn. So that's something I like about it. So you 224 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.960 don't know, get offended were trying to correct them on something I like that's 225 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.920 up or like embracest So that's something that's good. I think that they have, 226 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:30.000 they have a good attitude and uh they always will to Uh like guy 227 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:37.480 in particularly, I can think about my head like spreshmen coming. He's pretty 228 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:40.400 mature for his age. You know what he wanted to do, you know 229 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:47.960 what he could do, He just pointers and the tips to make him off 230 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:53.839 the field. So uh that's yeah, Yeah, I'm not sure about all 231 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.240 young guys are like exactly who would stick out against to me, But I 232 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:02.359 mean we're always just like shouted lean on kind of as like the transition because 233 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.839 like the early enrolies like I did it and it's it's a tough adjustment for 234 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.640 sure. But like the new guys that just came in that are freshman that 235 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:11.079 I mean, they should be a problem right now, which is insane to 236 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.079 think about just being a shoulder to lean on, just being someone that they 237 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.720 can come to and ask questions, and like there's no such thing as a 238 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.759 dumb question. Because I was in the same position, I know exactly what 239 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.599 they're thinking, what they're feeling. I mean, it's it's a tough spot 240 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:27.119 to be in, not knowing what you're doing, learning a whole new system 241 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.920 and coming from high school. So just in general, just being someone that 242 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.960 they can turn to and ask questions. Is I think just been the biggest 243 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.240 part. So Cal, I'm going to ask you this question. And I 244 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.319 know you've been asked this a lot. It's turned into a drinking game. 245 00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:48.480 Every time you watch a Spartan game and the announcer says, Cal Holliday doesn't 246 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.960 work gloves or rismond, so you take a drink. So I will take 247 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:59.400 a drink right now. Jeez, it's high. My question to you is, 248 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.799 why don't you wear gloves? I think it's been it's been a college 249 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.319 thing because like in high school, I mean, I had a little bit 250 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.400 of stuff on. But I think Coach Tucker actually really uh, Coach Tucker 251 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.599 definitely had a part of that. I mean because he was a big meat 252 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.839 and potatoes guys when he got here and definitely want to didn't want to make 253 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.480 anybody matter want to you know, I don't know. I just never got 254 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.359 into it either after that, and I didn't want to ask anybody for it, 255 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:26.720 so I just, you know, I just went out there with bare 256 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:36.960 minimum. So you were so you were scared of the equipment guy who knows 257 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:47.000 how stingy equipment guys? Oh my god, I know Jakobe, what about 258 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.799 you. You know, before before you asked you a question, we talk 259 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:56.400 about Kobe's arms leeveco where you had an arms leave and coach came up to 260 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.640 you. It was like, hey, you wearing that? Yeah, tell 261 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.400 us about that. I mean, for the most part, it's kind of 262 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:10.559 like a team that potatoes and they don't like too much. So it was 263 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.720 I think it was playing. Uh. I can't remember the game, but 264 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.519 I had like I had a little sleeve, you know, I have a 265 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:25.240 little you know, drip on wine, you know. Uh. I think 266 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:33.039 coach like pregame like where like, yeah, where take that off right now? 267 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.319 Already I'm like, just take it off. I just let him take 268 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:45.880 it myself. But we just we just don't want to know, you know. 269 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:52.599 So that's what it is, you know, just that blue collar you 270 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:55.799 know, take your lung trailing hard hat. Because back when I played, 271 00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:57.480 when we were we had dudes fighting in the mirror, you know, to 272 00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:02.680 to look good. You know. It wasn't you know, you get a 273 00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:06.079 few prime time games and everything like that, but if you're on college games, 274 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.880 was in town, you better believe I had my wristbands, gloves. 275 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:12.640 I've never used a towel, but I would even throw one on just in 276 00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:22.759 case. Good. That's right, exactly, that's right, I mean talking 277 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.799 about that. I mean, I've just seen your dad, I believe cal 278 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.599 In the chet talking about you are the best athlete in the family. But 279 00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.720 your brother is a smart one. Yeah, that's very true. Yeah, 280 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:38.960 my brother. Yeah, it definitely felt. I definitely fell short on the 281 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:45.200 academic ends for sure, but you got to be academic in order to be 282 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:51.799 able to play defense. Major in chemistry, right, yeah, So you 283 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:59.160 walked across the stage Monday academic gala like that was just normal. Nah, 284 00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:06.480 it was as I was graduating, not necessarily because of my grades. Name 285 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:11.359 the chemist chemisname. There you go. So your dad wrestled at Penn State, 286 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.519 right, yeah, Yeah, wasn't a decision for you to come to 287 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:22.039 Michigan State. I mean, I have the original staff, like the old 288 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.839 D'Antonio staff originally, and that's who recruited me. And I just really fell 289 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.079 in love with the whole staff and the campus and everything about this this place, 290 00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.880 and that's what really drew me here, I mean, and then it 291 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.799 was kind of short lived. I was here for five weeks and then coach 292 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:41.039 d announced he was retiring and then coach took over. And I mean the 293 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:44.640 transition actually worked out really well, and I think I can be in a 294 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:48.319 better spot. And I'm actually and I think it all just worked out just 295 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.640 as good as it could have, honestly, and I'm just happy with everything. 296 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.720 Yeah, what about you to call me? What? What was the 297 00:23:53.799 --> 00:24:00.079 thing that drew you to Michigan State? I have to say the culture and 298 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:06.920 uh cool, but the junior kind of I have good, lucky money, 299 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:14.359 so I was able to like what type of guy because all the feedback I've 300 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.759 been getting from the people about him positive and when I got here that you 301 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.200 know that people talking about that, I just fell in love with system about 302 00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:30.519 things there all about they actually care about. That's most important because I do 303 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:41.559 believe that you would be being able up Harris put up different speakers and different 304 00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.400 events to you know, put us on game of life. It's definitely a 305 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:52.279 big, a big thing here. So they that, Yeah, let's stick 306 00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:57.200 with you, Jacobe. You know last year you were asked to do more 307 00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:00.960 than you normally would. You were playing and out of position, and that 308 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.839 you played on the defensive line. You were a rush in and a lot 309 00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.599 of plays a lot of games, especially early on, and that actually brought 310 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:12.480 you Defensive Player of the Week with the Big ten and nationally what three or 311 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:17.559 four a lot of three three times three weeks playing the end position, and 312 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.240 then later on you got to go back to your more natural position as a 313 00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:23.599 linebacker. Like talk about right now, like are they going to continue to 314 00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:30.319 use you in both positions? Because I mean, you're pretty damn good on 315 00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.799 the end and you got great feet and to getting covered. So like, 316 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:38.160 what do you feel most comfortable playing. I feel like I'm a pretty versatile 317 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:42.960 guy, but most comfortable, I'll say a linebacker. This is more natural 318 00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:48.599 for me, just you know, be at depth and a little of everything. 319 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:53.039 But this year I'll be playing both like you know, a third down 320 00:25:53.720 --> 00:26:02.759 thank god, and you know, first second buying backer. That's just how 321 00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:08.519 it will be throughout the season. So cal a couple of questions for you. 322 00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:15.319 One, could you take your dad now in wrestling? There's no shout 323 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:22.880 down in my mind? Oh man, there's a challenge. I don't know 324 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:27.640 about that. And the second thing is, let's fast forward to not this 325 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:32.240 past season, but the season before when you sealed the game with that pick 326 00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:36.920 six I get hit there. What was that feeling? Like you you dropped 327 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.200 back and coverage, you picked that, and now the balls in your head 328 00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:41.880 now you're a ball carrier, Like, what's the what's the thought process? 329 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:47.240 I kind of like blacked out because honestly, after after the player, I 330 00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:49.440 actually kind of got yelled at because it's in the situation, get down, 331 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.480 get down, get slide. I don't know, I kind of just didn't 332 00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.279 see anybody in front of me and just kept running and then no one. 333 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.880 I don't know there was a lock on through my head, but I mean 334 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:06.640 it was, I mean something you'll never forget for sure. Maybe did it 335 00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:11.279 in the aanda too, Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. Let's talk about 336 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.599 the quarterback of the linebacker room, like what's the competition level, like from 337 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.640 a standpoint of making each other better? Because you know, you got your 338 00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:23.279 your depth chart ones your two's and people are trying to get their name in 339 00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:27.720 there. But talk about the competition in that room and how you guys are 340 00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:33.480 making that unit a better unit from last year coming into this year. I 341 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.480 think it's just a deep room. And I mean I think we know that 342 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.000 it's a deep room and that we're ready to compete every day, and I 343 00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:44.920 think that we push each other like without even like trying, because we're just 344 00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:47.839 all competitors and we all want to be better and we all want to win 345 00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:49.240 games. And that's what we're here to do, is just win games. 346 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:53.039 And I think that that's really been a big focus, is just competing with 347 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.880 each other. Like it doesn't matter how old you are, it doesn't matter 348 00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:02.720 what what year you are, just go and compete and go get better. 349 00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:07.240 And I think it's all the way through and throughout the room. Yeah, 350 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:12.799 just figure it's a good girl done, guys, and I hope that good. 351 00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:19.559 The opportunity to learn together, you know, yeah uh. And then 352 00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:29.200 health also it's from along well, so sometimes we do like we lose sight 353 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:34.559 of life that we actually incompetition focus. That's the group are. We just 354 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:40.799 have fun with We hold each other, We keep it real with each other. 355 00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.200 So it's I mean, there's nothing else you can act for, you 356 00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:48.960 know. It's a good room full of like brothers. To me, absolutely 357 00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:52.240 love it. Man, and being from the boot, you know, it 358 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.480 don't hurt either. But I'm gonta ask you to the question that people all 359 00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:59.799 want to know in this spring, when you are going, you know, 360 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.680 team period and seven on seven you get a chance to see the quarterback, 361 00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:10.880 don't you for sure? So like who's the one that's giving you the most 362 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.119 problems? Like? What are you seeing out of the quarterback competition? Everybody 363 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.240 knows that's written about that there's a tough quarterback competition going on right now. 364 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.160 What are you guys seeing there? And how is that positive for the team 365 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.519 moving forward? I think that they've all been doing very well. I mean 366 00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.359 I think that the competition in the quarterback room is just a good thing. 367 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.079 I mean, like like in our room, the competition just brings out the 368 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.359 best and the worst in people. So you're going to see who's going to 369 00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.079 perform under pressure and who's gonna push push each other and who's gonna like just 370 00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.960 capitalize on their opportunities, because that's really what it's about in practice. I 371 00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.279 mean, Peyton's a veteran, he's done it, he's been in the system. 372 00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:53.880 He knows what he's doing for sure. Noah Kim is uh, he's 373 00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.200 in my class, so I mean he's been in the system too as well, 374 00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:02.079 and I mean he's just looking for an his opportunity. And then Kayden 375 00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:06.039 Kauser is a younger guy, but he's also competing really well. So I 376 00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.160 mean it's a it's a toss up. I mean they could. They're all 377 00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.880 doing really well, and I think it's gonna be a tight competition in the 378 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:18.079 fall. Would you goby, like you know, all these three guys, 379 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:26.640 it's gonna be a pretty good competition broad the h he's and so I think, 380 00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:33.680 first of who be giving me the most problems have because I ever picked 381 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:38.079 him off since I've been like heart with the ball. You know, he's 382 00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:45.160 definitely a do it. Uh he's a bet. Uh he knows his stuff. 383 00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:52.680 I see how he posted about it, right. Problem, he just 384 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:59.039 do a good job. But you know he uh he's he's a great player. 385 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:18.480 Uh you need that, yeah, but uh yeah yeah. So while 386 00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:25.240 we have you being me the defensive guy started all safety, here we go, 387 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.440 let's talk about the passing game, right defenses defending the passing I felt 388 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:36.640 there was some times where there may have been some miscommunication or they're getting behind 389 00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:40.119 the line of linebackers and the safeties out there. It's just there was a 390 00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:44.960 couple of those those beings, those those drags, was getting successful with those 391 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:51.599 digs. I guess talk about what what's being done now possibly fill those holes 392 00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:56.000 and getting proper drops from the mid level and obviously the safeties and the communication 393 00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.920 and making sure that we're locking up those holes when it comes to covering. 394 00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:04.240 To his own coveragure, I think it's the biggest thing is just focusing on 395 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.480 details. I mean that's been a huge emphasis. Is just focusing on details 396 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.680 and communicating over communicating, just like making sure that everyone's on the same page, 397 00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:14.279 because as soon as one person's not on the same page, up with 398 00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:17.279 the whole thing's it's kind of a waste center. I don't know, you 399 00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:22.039 know, it's just not a good it's not a good situation. But yeah, 400 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:24.440 the big thing has been details and focusing on little things and making sure 401 00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:27.599 that you're right where you need to be when you need to be there, 402 00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.920 and just little things. And because the little things take care of the big 403 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.759 things. And that's kind of what we have the way we think about it. 404 00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:37.559 Because you're off of your landmark or whatever by this much. You miss 405 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:42.599 a pass, breakup or an interception by a yard and then you wish you 406 00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:46.240 could have it back or you know, so just little things all right, 407 00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:53.119 before we let you guys go. The big question I ask everybody this game 408 00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:58.079 day. You're in the locker room, you're getting ready to go. What's 409 00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:05.680 in aheadset your pots for me? I gotta go. Yeah, he like, 410 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.920 just get me gone. I just ready to go. Probably young baby, 411 00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:22.119 I like the man. Yeah, you're not gonna be surprised. And 412 00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:23.279 I don't even I don't listen to music or anything. I just sit there 413 00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:37.160 stone cold killer yeah either either. So yeah, that's awesome man. So 414 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.720 look now we're gonna see you pregame warm up. It's like Coles just sitting 415 00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:46.960 there exactly but cooking up a formula. Guys. I mean, we appreciate 416 00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:52.039 you guys coming on.

You guys are leaders on this team and we really value 419 00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:00.880 your opinion of what's going on because you guys are in the trenches. You 420 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:06.880 understand what's going on at a level that people just don't see. So thank 421 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:08.599 you guys for your time and joining us here on the show. Yeah, 422 00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:14.239 and Spartan fans can see you guys on Saturday here at the fieldhouse.

I mean, 431 00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:59.480 it's just it's gonna be special. So the thing with count not wearing gloves, 432 00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:04.039 I go back to my season. I had a great relationship with mister 433 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.519 Nick there. I went through three pairs of gloves a game a game a 434 00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:12.639 game. Yes, so I would wear one out for warm ups and then 435 00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:16.239 I'll come back and I'll give it away and then and I'll get a new 436 00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:22.119 pick halftime going into tunnel. I'll give the term life. Didn't he won't 437 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:25.679 even catching the balls? What are you talking? I still had it, 438 00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:30.320 clo. I have my luck and then after the game I'll get it away 439 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:37.760 or the gatory towel. So that's why you guys couldn't get gloves because I 440 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:39.639 was going to three pairs a day. I remember I had to go show 441 00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:44.920 them holes in my socks to get a new fresh payoff. Mister Nick took 442 00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:46.920 care of me. I know Ross is on here, and Ross is like 443 00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:52.960 having flashbacks of that. It's incredible, man. I mean the Western New 444 00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:54.880 York connection is that what it is exactly? And that's how I got the 445 00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:59.880 number thirty at Michigan State because mister Nick is a Western New York guy and 446 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.000 I told him like this, Nick, if I come here, do you 447 00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:08.519 guarantee me number thirty? He said, if you commit, I'll guarantee you 448 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:24.199 thirty and here like forty four. So what happened, Ross goes mister NICKA 449 00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:30.000 is one pair of year. Thank you Ross. That's normal. You know, 450 00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:34.599 I don't know what this guy.

I had to make the travel squad and 453 00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:45.360 get like. It was a difference when you're on the travel squad two six 454 00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:50.880 or soda pads. I mean, how many how much you wear during the 455 00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:53.199 course of the game. And also to a little like all the little pads 456 00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:58.840 that would come out that you have to test out before the school will purchase 457 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:02.719 him.
