Manti IMHO single handily changed our trajectory as a program. Let's be real, his impact on this program is still being felt now and will forever be felt. We came off a Horrible season when he committed and we just hired CBK BAMF. Teo brought that Fight back to Fighting IRISH and he catapulted our program into relevancy again.
Manti was good, but the Heisman crap was bullcrap. Let's keep it real he was only a Heisman candidate because of the team national title run and ND storied program. Manti should have never been a Heisman candidate. There are other LBs with better results and numbers that were never considered Heisman candidates. Alabama exposed Manti and the entire fraud defense. ND played a soft schedule and barely won games that year. BK and ND were not ready for big boy football when they met Alabama. I went to the game. For the record, Jaylon Smith was a better LB than MT. Manti point of contact was great, but his tackling was not good. Manti bounced off tackles against Alabama.
Super fun and amusing man! And, "Room Mother"? LMFAO !! Just let me tell you, YOU'RE OUR Room Mother, Tyler, you poor bstd! 😅 Great guests and segments always on your show and no time wasters! All the best to you and LOIrish, GO Irish!
I think the season is only a success if they make the playoffs and wow game gonna a real opponent. Not G5 opponent then the next round get your ass best by a real opponent. If that happens it is same old same old
@@TrainerNick256you mean channels that have multiple shows everyday and with several different host through out the day are little stale in the the middle of a dead period?…… weird.
0:06 When SH was playing last year, he was not effective as a runner, but had to move in the pocket more because he lacked the number of gifted receivers he had at WF.
I hate to tell you Mike. CJ's a better quarterback. More accurate. Read a defense better. Looks through all his reeds. He's a one and a lifetime type of talent. I think sometimes you guys overthink it. I love seeing you guys working together. It was a great show. Good luck guys. And go Irish 🍀
This is a reasonable take for what we have seen of CJ so far, and I agree. Our problem is, practice sessions in artificial conditions like Spring Ball, are like plans for a battle and do not survive the first bullet or the first offensive snap in real conditions against someone like A&M and their scary-savvy HC Elko. Who would imagine that Book would be ND's winningest QB in the entire 132 years of the program?? Goolsby's "wait and see" is a good idea, and like you @michaelmorris6406, I think that might go double for some of the other QBs in the room, regardless of his chops as a linebacker. Go Irish!
I hope you're right about CJ. My take is the opposite. I see CJ as overhyped like Ron Powlus, Jimmy Clausen, and Dayne Crist. All hype and no difference, maker. The good thing is CJ has better offensive coaching around him and a good QB coach.
@@sbnative574 I love watching CJ play in the 7 on 7. He's a sniper. He's the best seven on seven quarterback I ever seen. Not cuz his arm or anything like that. Because of his decision making. He sees it and then he throws it. I think he's going to be great
@michaelmorris6406 I hope your evaluation translates into game action. We need a QB that can show up in big moments. When the lights are bright, we need a dude...... I'm so tired of the media making excuses for ND QBs. If RL is not getting it done, let's give another QB an opportunity and build for the future. I went to the Clemson game. SH was horrible! I guess he was irreplaceable because of NIL. Steve Angeli should have had an opportunity in the second half of the Clemson game. QB is holding us back big time!
IMHO, it would be the best for everyone involved - and to keep RL healthy - to have RL start the several easy games we have and play the first 1-2 quarters. If we have a good lead by then, rotate in the other QBs and let each get some game experience when there is little threat of anything disastrous happening. That might preserve RL's ankle so he'd be fresh to handle the tougher games and to last longer into the season. That would also give the best QB prospect a head start on next season.
That last question in the rapid fire begs me to ask: Tyler, were you at the closing night at Feve? I still have that Observer article from when it closed
Been saying the same things about Angeli. He could win the games like NIU or Purdue, but would get eaten alive against A&M or Florida State and likely by Louisville as well.
Don’t compliment CJ Carr in front of Mike Goolsby😂 he’ll immediately have issues lol. I think not every ND media outlet was crowning CJ Carr. There were some who recognize the caveats, but also recognize that he actually did look very impressive in the spring. Doesn’t mean he’s going to start next year, or ever. But plain and simple, he looked very impressive in the spring game.
Love Goolsby, my favorite ND Media guy, but feel like everytime he’s talking about CJ or Kenny, you’re talking more about the hyperbolic coverage around them rather than their actual abilities, then try to balance some of the hyperbole by giving Kenny praise. All love for Goolsby, just my one disagreement on the QB topic.
Watching the spring game, the LTs were beaten bad at times. They had a rough time stopping the DEs. I still think Leonard won't finish the season as starting QB, especially if he is running the ball a lot. I wasn't sold on him last season, a good QB, but top tier? Hopefully, he heals up and has a good season.
Better than Hartman? I think they're similar throwing the ball but Leonard is way better running and actually will try and get first downs with his legs. I still think back at the Ohio State game where HArtman ran and didn't dive for the first down and had a turnover on downs.
@@gregwasserman2635 Yeah makes sense if nobody is open just take a sack, don't even try and pick up the first down. That's dumb logic. You can't play timid and scared. They have depth now at the QB position, so if he gets hurt so be it.
If you are talking about Leonard, I think the ND staff sees how much pressure he puts on defense by being a dual threat. He will need to be a dual threat and hopefully that ankle doesn’t become a re injury. Also ND skill players are much better than Dukes. Maybe not as much as it once was because Duke has improved but ND has a lot more skill than most this year
Bullshit …we do need Leonard . Our current QB roster is inexperienced unproven in every way . Leonard has big game experiance and is tough as MAC truck . Porterhouse ur sir are a dipshit … have a good evening
It took daniels 6 years to be the heisman winner. He was less rhan good for 4 years, ok in year 5 and dominant in year 6. Is ND willing to wait that long and struggle to get there. I think NOT!
...and our first game is against his coach last year, defensive-minded Mike Elko- who spent most of his formative years as a DC around CFB (including under BK at ND).
@@dragotx21 I am concerned about his skill and in depth knowledge. He played us to within a couple of plays at the end of the Duke game last year with Leonard on his side of the field with the talent he had available to him at _DUKE_. What do you think it will be like when he knows our QB because that was HIS QB last year and he has the talent available to him at a place like A&M?? Smart guy, dangerous guy and I respect him a great deal. I doubt he would ever suggest such a thing, not only because Leonard is a player he knows and respects but because he respects the game and players of the game in general. I respect him as an honorable guy in the same way I respect Phil Fulmer and was saddened when he was forced out at Tennessee,
@@TheRealRaz909 , eventually, yes, there will be one superconference or league, at least that is how it is trending. One model I saw had one league that essentially divided things up into the old conference groupings! It's all become a joke, with schools chasing the dollar, ethics be damned.
I think QB RL is overrated and still needs development. RL was not good against ND and Clemson. RL had several good runs against ND and Clemson that was critical and changed the game. But his overall body of work in those games was average. We need above average play at the QB position. I think QB SA is a wild card. Not athletic and a structure QB like Sam Hartman. The offense line has to play perfectly for them to have success. However, SA plays hard and just needs more playing time for a true evaluation. I think QB KM can be the best QB in the room. Smart, athletic, and a strong arm with good accuracy. Plus, I think KM has that it factor in big games. This is what ND has been missing for years. I think QB CJC is a good practice player with a ton of hype. Kinda reminds me of Ron Powlus. All hype and QB ND fans continue to make excuses for. However, I hope he's the real deal. I would like to see the coaching staff hand the keys to KM. Start building chemistry now for future success.
The 1 thing i cant take seriously until proven otherwise is Goolsby take on QBs after him riding for Tyler and Drew over Sam last year and then watching both of them ride the bench at there new teams lol i love Goolsby tho
I never rode for Pyne. Ever. That’s being said, Pyne had better numbers as NDs starter than Hartman. 🤔 Buchner was all about upside/potential. QBs need physical tools to win BIG games.

What did you say the second time? I gotta give it to you. The first comment was funny as hell. I had no come back...lol
Completely disagree about Charles being a guard. He’s huge but has the feet and length to be a tackle. We have plenty of guards that are road graters
Golsby is cold blooded. Took a shot at Tyler when QB’s we’re brought up
