Kroger, fresh for everyone, fuel restrictions apply. [Music] Jesse, are you ready for rapid fire? Let's take this thing home. Alright, fill in the blank. The number one question you have about Notre Dame's wide receivers this season is blank. Is consistency. I think they need someone who's going to consistently show up every game. You know, be the alpha in that room and be a guy that's nearing a thousand yards if not more by the end of the season. I just need from game one to game 12, I need to know that there's a guy that is reliable, right? Like on a big play, big down. I know I can look for this guy and he's going to consistently get the job done. That's what I'm looking for the most. My biggest question going into this season is what's Chris Mitchell going to be? We know Chris Mitchell is fast. We know he can play on the outside. As you diagrammed in some of your whiteboard yesterday, he's a guy who can help take the top off the defense. But there have been plenty of guys who can do that. So my question is, is Chris Mitchell going to be more like Chris Brown, you know, speed guy from kind of more of a decoy? Is he going to catch the ball? Yeah, like is he going to be a Chris Brown who is just racing down field on streaks and go routes to try to take the top off the defense and open up the rest of the field? Or is he going to be more like Will Fuller and have speed, you know, and more volume to go along with it? So that's what I want to know, just like what exactly is Chris Mitchell going to be? I don't think that he's going to have a thousand yards like he did last year at Florida International. But is he just going to be one or two catch a guy game, but it's going to be like 18, 20 plus yards, you know? Like what exactly is he going to bring to this offense? Because that's like something that was still an incomplete answer coming out of training camp from the opportunities that we got to see. Like he did some stuff, we didn't see him, you know, take off in a big way. He's going to be part of that six man rotation though, but to what extent is he going to be a part of it? Speaking of which, fill in the blank, the Irish wide receiver with the best chance to get to a thousand yards this season is blank. It pains me to say this because there is a huge super fan in the chat that is always reminding you who he's a super fan of, but it's Jaden Great House. And I knew it was Jaden Great House when they talked about him, you know, basically being able to play the slot, being able to play the field, being able to play the boundary, because what that means to me is he's your most influential important wide receiver because he can play all spots to the field. I think he's able to, they're going to be able to find ways to get him the ball on different kind of, you know, alignments on the field. He's going to be that guy who I would like to compare to CD Lamb, just a guy who can do just about anything at all the other, all of the wide receiver positions. That's my answer as well. I'm going with Great House. I think that all these other guys are all going to play a key part of this offense. And like he's not going to be the sole focus of, you know, of the passing game, but I think because of his versatility and the size and not the elite speed, but good speed that he has. And just his ability to do a lot of different things. I think that he's going to see a lot of balls coming his way, and he's, he's got the opportunity. Again, like defensive backs have talked about him during camp, and they've talked about his craftiness, like he's, he's got a little bit of that, of that extra, you know, not just like raw talent. But he's got some intangible there as well, like knowing how to get it open, you know, knowing how to use his body and do these different things. So, I think that, I think that it's going to be him returns do not count in this we're only talking about what they do as a wide receiver. So, Joe, just to kind of add to what you were saying, great houses also, in my opinion, you're going to have the highest usage rate amongst all the wide receivers. He is going to have the most snaps played, offensive snaps played out of all of the wide receivers. He's going to be on the field the most in comparison to the rest of the wide receivers. I agree, I completely agree with that. And I'm curious to see to what extent, phase on, is out there as well, because he's another guy, who is going to play some, some multiple positions like those two, I think, based on everything that we've seen and heard those two are the guys who are going to be sort of the most flexible and interchangeable with their ability to play both in the slot and outside DK says a great house doesn't get 1000 yards. I will never talk to salty again. Oh my. Good questions, Jaime. I don't know. And I don't think that was asked of him yesterday in terms of his ticket request for this game because obviously he's from down there by Austin. So here's what Riley Leonard said when he was asked about facing his former head coach Mike Elko this weekend. This is for Riley Leonard. Quote, "As the game builds up for me, for whatever reason, I become more and more emotionless because I become more confident. I'm going to get there on Saturday and they're going to call a play and I'm going to have rept it shoot 10, 15 times by now. Nerves come with lack of preparation and the more I prepare and practice and things like that, my nerves just calm down." End quote. That is blank, Jesse. That is exactly what I want to hear from my starting quarterback, right? Like, I want a quarterback that literally says, as the game goes on and the intensity heightens, the pressure heightens, you know, game on the line, my heart rate actually goes down because when you think of the greatest athletes out there, like, let's just probably talk about Steph Curry. Like, you think his heart rate goes up when he's when he's pulling up and taking, you know, those big time shots like he did in the Olympics. I think it's the opposite. I think he gets calmer in the game slows down for him and that's why he's so successful and actually makes more of those shots, right? So if that's how Riley Leonard feels about himself, I think that is, again, exactly what you want to hear out of your starting quarterback, but I got to see it first, right? Like, it can't just all be talked. You can have that confidence, which, again, I appreciate and that's the kind of confidence I want you to have, but I got to see it. I got to see if he's actually, if he's going to walk the walk. But it's the perfect answer to me because he was asked about facing Mike Elko. And what he's basically saying is like, that really, you know, like, it's a storyline, but it's not a huge factor because once he takes the field, it's about the preparation that he's done. Like, he's not going to be thinking that much. I don't think about Mike Elko standing over there on the sideline. It's going to be about, this is the play call. We've repped this thing over and over. I know this thing, like the backside of my hand, you know, I know it inside and out. And that's what it's about. It's about preparation. And like you said, like things break down when you're not prepared. But everything that we've seen about Riley Leonard says that he is going to be more than prepared in this game. But, you know, like you said, you got to see it, but we do have a pretty good body of work from his time at Duke. And he looked like a pretty well prepared quarterback to me. Like, he looked like, like pretty much nerves of steel when he was housing it against Clemson in season opener last year. You look like he was all right.

Got to be Wendy's at participating us Wendy's. So Marcus Freeman said this about Saturday's Kyle field environment and trying to take the crowd out of the game. I don't think there's anything intentional that we're going to try to do to take the crowd out. That will be determined probably based off our execution, you know, and I think for us it's the preparation for a loud crowd that's more important to anything. We didn't do a great job last year of playing clean and at Duke right we had too many pre snap penalties. And so we've been very intentional on preparing in loud environment and a loud environment in practice. So we eliminate the pre snap penalties right we can't let the crowd affect our operation. And so I feel very confident we have a great plan for the crowd noise. Okay so there's Marcus Freeman my question to you, Jess is like this is something that neither of us has experienced is like playing in a setting like that how much do you think pumping in the crowd noise and playing loud music and practice actually helps prepare for these kind of big time road environments. Yeah I would say it helps a good amount in terms of what Marcus Freeman was talking about there I think what you do for those, what you're worried about is the false starts the, you know, not being able to relay the play, not getting, you know, guys not being able to hear or see their their motion indicators right. And so I think when you practice those things, I think it helps a good amount with that because you find a way to go silent count you find a way, you know, to negate the false start penalties you find a way to, you know, hit your landmarks when you're when you're going in motion and so I think that it does help a good amount is there anything that is going to, you know, like is the perfect solution. No, but I, at least like the willingness to be prepared and that's all you can do at the end of the day is try your best to be prepared like Marcus Freeman said, execution, getting out to a 14 0 point lead, then you don't have to worry about any of that crowd noise because they're going to be taken out of it right. The only time the crowd noise is at its, at its best is when at the beginning of the game when it's still 0 0 when a big play happens or when your team is ahead because they're constantly going to keep the noise up, but if Notre Dame can get out and get out early, that stuff will take care of itself and that comes down to execution like he was talking about. If, you know, like Salty says, getting up by 17 points in the first quarter, we'll do it. I mean, that's absolutely right because I just go back to a few years back when Notre Dame went to Virginia Tech and all the talk all week long was about Inter Sandman and all that stuff and then got Metallica doing a video message for Inter Sandman and it was all cool with the lunch pail and all that different stuff, but then five minutes into the game once Notre Dame punched him in the mouth, Inter Sandman and the whole crowd was not a factor the rest of the game You've got to do that to effectively take the crowd out of the game. You've got to make a big momentum play early and get up early for that to happen. There's no guarantee that any of that's going to happen. In terms of the actual preparation, I think at the very least, I mean, obviously, you have to do it to give your team at least some kind of feel of that, even if you're on a practice field or if it's inside the Irish Athletic Center where it's even a little bit louder and you pump the music or you know, the crowd noise or whatever, you've got to do it so that at least your team has experienced some of those communication difficulties in practice before they get there because it goes back to the stuff that Riley Leonard was talking about You've repped it. So at least if you've done some reps in that environment, there's going to be some help, but I just like you're going to get in as long as it's loud out there like in the Florida State Georgia Tech game on a neutral field in Dublin last week, you still saw the quarterbacks with the new headset communications putting their hands over their ears, you know, because they couldn't hear the stuff coming in, you know, I don't know how much volume adjustment there is on those things like how loud you can crank those things, you know, like, you know, detral center says helmet comes and that's, you know, like, it's not just the helmet come to the quarterback but then, you know, like what you were saying, Jesse, if you get to that third and long situation, and you need to change a protection and the crowd is still going nuts out there Like, again, at least you've practiced it, you know, in practice with the extra noise and stuff like that but there's nothing like that actual true environment when you're the road team on offense out there and you're trying to slide a protection or audible whatever, you know, or just make sure you've got the snap count right and the whole thing. So, to what extent they've been able to work some of those kinks out hopefully we don't know but I just think no matter what kind of road environment that you go into as long as as the game stays close that home crowd is always going to be a huge factor that you really can't predict But played like a champion posted his 37 bold and optimistic predictions for the season on the new champions lounge here is his number three prediction. Jack Kaiser will lead the team in solo tackles and there will be at least a 20 tackle gap between him and the next linebacker. Do you buy or sell that? I think Drake Bowen is going to find a way to be the leading tackler on this defense. Your middle linebackers are the guys that you're going to rely on the most. I think really what it's going to come down to is how much time him and KVA are splitting because I know there's going to be some sort of you know, rotation, but you got to realize Kaiser is probably going to come out in a lot of nickel and dime situations when they go, you know, more speed and coverage type linebackers on those third and long situations. So that means, you know, Kaiser K or sorry, KVA, Bowen, Snead, Osbury are going to be on the field, you know, in replacement for Kaiser. And so I'm going to sell that. And if it is Kaiser, I don't think he'll have a 20 gap lead either. So I'm selling, I think, both aspects of this. This is very, very narrow. I do think he's ultimately going to lead the team. I think he'll lead the team in tackles solo tackles is another story. The 20 gap lead is what I have to sell. He's going to be at the top of the tackle list, but there is going to be that big rotate. The question is going to be how much does Kaiser rotate? Like we've talked about, does Kaiser stay on the field the most? Like he was the linebacker who played the least last year, but now he's the most experienced guy with a group of, you know, fairly raw linebackers. So how much, how many more snaps is he going to be out there? So I buy him being the leader in tackles. It's the 20 gap lead that I've got to sell though. DK, before that question, Jesse said that you've had a really good show. I'm not sure if you should even take another question because you're batting 1000. I hope that was with, you know, sincerity and not sarcasm. If it was in sincerity. I appreciate it and I take back my golden take comment from earlier. All right. This next one. Fill in the blank. The Notre Dame assistant coach who is most under the microscope this season is blank. I think this is an easy run. I think it's Joe Rudolph when you're running out there an offensive line that is as young and inexperienced as what they have. I think, I think that you would, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think it boils down to offensive and defensive line coaching. And for me, there's actually another one that I'd throw in this mix. Do you want me to go ahead and, you know, throw his name out there? And, you know, we can, we can debate because coming into training camp, it was unquestionably Mike Brown, because of all the stuff that was going on with the wide receiver. All the disgruntled men with wide receiver recruiting going into training camp. And I remember saying at the time, like what we need right now is to just get to the season so that Mike Brown can show what he can do as an actual football coach and we're not just talking about recruiting. But that's how that's how much it's changed in just a month. It went to me. It went from Mike Brown, like, and before Mike Brown, it was Al Washington. And Al Washington's guys had a pretty good spring. They've had a really good training camp as well. You know, again, like the question with Washington is just like Brown, it's development versus recruiting. Let's not forget though, Mike Elston, like as much as everybody ended up loving Mike Elston before he left Notre Dame to go to Michigan, like he was getting a lot of raw three star, you know, high upside guys and stuff like that as well. It's not like he was knocking it out of the park with a bunch of high four and five star guys like Mike Elston was still about development as well, you know, as much again as much as people loved him. So like, it's gone in this off season from Washington to Brown. But I think you're right, like as of right now, and really through no fault of his own because Charles Jagger saw got hurt, but the microscope is on Joe Rudolph right now. Yeah, I don't disagree. Did I take away your whole, like, thunder there? No, I think it's Joe Rudolph. And again, it's it's due. I mean, this game is either going to be won or lost by Notre Dame's offensive line. If they look abysmal, they're going to lose if they can go out there and just get the job done. They're going to win this game. And again, I'd said it earlier in the show. I when, when all the rumors and the questions about the offensive line and who's going to be starting and now they're going to true freshman at left tackle. That in my eyes is when the line really started to switch the most in this game. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Archer says with Brown Barrett being in year one, I think he has more slack than the line coaches. I mean, Joe Rudolph's only in year two though. And it feels like people talk like last year was some kind of disappointment from the offensive line standpoint. I don't know if it's just because there was all this expectation of Billy Strauss being a starter. And you know, and maybe Joe, but I'm talking about a year ago, like maybe Joe Rudolph pulled the rug out from people last year because shroud didn't start until later on, but it was still a Joe Moore award semi finalist offensive line last year. You know, again, was it was everything perfectly clean last year? No, but you know, I get like to Archer's point, like he can say Brown gets some slack and which which I do agree but you would have had a hard time convincing. A lot of people of that back at the end of June and in early July when things weren't going right from a recruiting standpoint at the receiver position. I'm not saying that, you know, that's the way it should have been, but would have had a hard time convincing some people Hey Irish Breakdown listeners, it's Urban Meyer. This fall the game changes. Join me, Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram and broadcaster Rob Stone as we bring you a new perspective on football and culture every week.

Fuel restrictions apply So there's always talk, of course, about which coaches are on the hottest seats going into a season. Which college football coach do you think has the coldest seat going into this season? This might shock you or maybe you're like, wow, this is a really intelligent answer, but because of the lineage and who he's kind of succeeding. To me, it's got to be Caitlyn DeBore. You know, I think he's going to get a lot of slack being at Alabama. It's his first year after the Saban era. I think you can expect, you know, the talent. Yes, it's going to be there. I still think Alabama is going to be a playoff team, but I don't think that there's any expectation that he's going to win a national championship in year one. I just think he needs to kind of be steady Eddie, be nine and three, 10 and two, maybe 11 and one. And you'll look back on and say, ah, it was his first year, first time in the SEC, you know, first time in the expanded playoff. Yeah, and the expanded playoff. So to me, I like saying, Caitlyn DeBore here. I think a couple honorable mentions are Steve Sarkeesian because he did get Texas there last year. So I think they're kind of finally off the hook like he can't have a horrible season. But again, I don't think he can, I think he's off the hook in some regards for Texas being back. Right. I mean, he's, yeah, he's, he's still got to prove that they're back two years in a row, especially going to the SEC. But I don't think that there's anything on the line for for sort. And then I think the easiest one or the most maybe fun one too is Charon Moore at Michigan. There's a whole cheating scandal. Harbaugh left. I don't think that people expect Michigan got their national championship. I don't think people expect them to be, you know, at that level. Again, I think they're a line play off. It's no matter what happens, you can write it off to all these losses. We lost a first round. Yeah, I just think there's lots of excuses that you can throw out there if Michigan ends up eight and four, nine and three cow wedding him's a good one. Archer out there at Utah, you know, probably helps that you're at Utah and there's not a ton of expectations. But the guy's been the head coach since urban Meyer left like think about that that's been, what, 20 years and now they get to play in the big 12, you know. And my answer is Kirby smart, though, like Brian says, I mean, yeah, I mean that guy, come on, he's just one championships. Of course he doesn't have the question is who's got the coldest seat. I mean, you know, it's not to find a, you know, like a diamond in the rough under the radar. I mean, Kirby smart is not going anywhere this year, but I do think, I mean, you make a good point and I hadn't really thought about it that way because like sloppy Joe says, oh, excuse me elko. You can probably throw most of the first year head coaches into this mix like nothing's going to happen to him. But I, when I was, because that was kind of my thought process, but again, I think with Bama, they're going to have enough talent to be like 10 and two, probably be a playoff team, but not actually win the whole thing and everyone's going to be like, ah, you know, killing the board. First year, first year guy did a good job, then it went a national championship. All right, let's see what he could do in year two. Yeah, I mean, Kirk Ferrence. That's always a good one as long as he's been around longest tenured FBS head coach and Steimey says Dion just to say, Dion, look, they win five games. Apparently that's successful, and it doesn't matter who you have to answer questions to out there in Boulder anymore. So, that reporter has one, like, journalism accolades to, which is absolutely wild. Yeah. So I saw someone on Twitter X the other day say he got a sorry for the delay email eight months after the original email was set. So my question to you, what is the maximum acceptable time that can pass before you can still use the sorry for the delay response. Two weeks. Two weeks. I think a month is very rude and inconsiderate. I think two weeks is valid for something we're going to come up with more than sorry for the delay. That's what I mean, you know, once a month goes by. I need like a whole, you know, my dog died, then my wife died and my car accident. Yeah. There's there's a lot of things that need to happen if you're going to send me a sorry for the delay after eight months. Eight months. Yes. I think a month is really ultimately pushing it. And so again, I'm more so at like the two week mark. And don't even say sorry for the delay. Just say sorry I forgot probably at the end of the day. Yeah. Make up some excuse about, you know, like your email got lost in my spam or something, you know, like it. It can't just be sorry for the, well, you know, which those things do happen sometimes or something. Eight months. Yeah. Eight months. Like, how do you draw on the line? How do you even find that email? Because like I was listening to a podcast recently and all these people were talking about, they have literally thousands of unread emails in their email inbox. Like, I don't know how many you let yours build up to, but I, I clear mine a couple times a day. Like, I try to make sure that I'm on top of it. I instantly delete emails that I don't want out of all folders. I right now in my email, I'll tell you right now, I only have like maybe 40 emails in my entire inbox right now total. Yeah. My cutoff, I think is a week. I think a week is it. I think two weeks is too long. Like again, like you got to come up with something better than sorry for the delay. Eight months. I can't even imagine responding with that eight months down the line. I'm not exactly sure. Like what, you know, what kind of email it was but. Salty. I think we're just going to have to agree with this. Salty asked if this is the greatest I'd be happy hour show ever. Just going to say, you know, are we surprised? I'm filling in for Vince on a Wednesday. So. Just kidding, Vince. I love you wherever you are. Reading into something. Reading into something there. Andre wants to know who's co-hosting with me tomorrow. That's a mystery. Andre, as it turns out. There's a, there's a higher, I'd say that there's a 90% chance that. You're looking at just this tomorrow. So, get to those we in. We out questions and I'll have a watch in time with it tomorrow. The expectation, though, is that Jesse, whether he's on a lazy dirty river on Friday or not is going to find a place to do count down to kickoff with Vince. So, you're spoiling all my secrets. So, you're looking at a three, possibly three plus Henry show on Friday. Maybe Scooby. Maybe, I don't know. Scooby's a little bit squirlier. D.K. says he's available. I don't, you know, I don't know what Brian would pay you for that. D.K. Mrs. Sean should host. I don't know if you want that, Anthony. Like, my daughter has lobbied me to try to host before. So, Bailey would do better than mom would. I'll just end it at that. And we really actually has airtime from her nurse B prediction days. That's right. Many, many moons ago when, when Jesse and his sister Bailey were young pups, we used to do a, we called it Dr. J and nurse B. It was NFL predictions every week. I don't know if I've still got those tapes somewhere tapes around here someplace or not. I know I'm sure you. Well, you know, things get thrown away often in that house. So, I wouldn't be surprised. That's very true. We'll just end it with that. Great stuff tonight. Appreciate all the questions. Great whiteboard Jesse. Hit the like button before you leave because you know we do appreciate it.
