You're listening to Irish Illustrated Insider. It's Monday, March 28th. I'm Tim Priester with Tim O'Melly

from Irish Illustrated. We had an opportunity on Saturday to watch the entire practice. The day before was

pro day, which proved to be a big day for a couple of the Notre Dame players,

the former Notre Dame players with Tim.

If there was, if there wasn't one dumb hit we wouldn't be no one

would be complaining about how physical it was it was just it was the dumb hit by dj brown on lorenzo

And Lorenzo Stiles, after he rolled around and groaned, and I'm, you know, I'm thinking shoulder at that point, as opposed to getting the wind

knocked out of him.
