| 0:00.0 | Congratulations to David. |
| 0:01.7 | He is the first winner of the week. But don't worry, plenty of opportunities throughout the course of the week to win passes inside the Budap Vintage Lounge at Joe's Garage for this week's edition of the Chapman-Sept Fuel and Counten on a kickoff. Again, we get rolling this Saturday at 8 a.m. And we, of course, are leading up until coverage from the Michigan Sports Network and then they take over and then kickoff is just after 12 o'clock. And we will hear more about Michigan football. Of course, we're discussing it throughout the course of the show this morning. And we have the M zone later on today, but also inside Michigan football is at 7 o'clock coming up later on today as well here on the Big 1050 WTK. It's now time for our players, the game, |
| 0:39.1 | and it's time for the defender of the game brought to you by the law offices |
| 0:42.9 | of Joseph A. Simon, find Joe at the Michigan Defenders.com. |
| 0:46.8 | That's the Michigan Defenders.com. |
| 0:49.7 | And I talked about this on Saturday night. |
| 0:52.4 | Well, technically, I guess it was Sunday morning when we actually had this conversation. |
| 0:57.2 | To me, I made, I named Jashon Barhan, the defender of the game because I just felt like you really felt his impact or the lack of him being out there, his impact in the first half of the game. |
| 1:09.0 | And if he's on the field, I just feel like it's not a 14-0-0 game that it's, you know, maybe a 7-0 game. And it's just that much closer. And maybe it changes the complexion of the game entirely because of how the first half goes. He just, he brings an added element to the defense that is just, it's necessary to have because you have, you need playmakers. |
| 1:29.2 | Ideally, you'll have a playmaker at least one on every level of your defense. |
| 1:33.5 | But if you can have a playmaker in the middle of that defense, |
| 1:37.5 | an elite speed athletic sideline the sideline type player, |
| 1:41.5 | which he is showing to be, |
| 1:43.4 | then he can be, as we like to say, he can be that ultimate chess piece in the defensive side of the ball because you can, of course, play him in the middle of the field and he can just play defense and do his normal what a middle linebacker kind of traditionally would look like doing. But you can also use him as this, all right, well, you put him on the field along with Ernest Hallsman and maybe along with another linebacker. |
| 2:03.9 | And you can put him on the side and he can be an edge rusher. |
| 2:06.8 | You can rush him up the middle. |
| 2:08.5 | You can drop him into covers. |
| 2:09.8 | There's a lot of different things that you can do. |
| 2:11.8 | And he has elite athleticism and speed that we have seen him display to begin the football season. |
| 2:18.8 | And you could feel the difference when he got on the field the second half. |
| 2:22.3 | Maybe part of it there was something said in the locker. |
| 2:24.4 | I don't know. |
