You're listening to Irish Illustrated Insider. It's Monday, April 5th, a couple days after

Nordenames fourth spring practice, Tim Priester Tim O'Malley, from Irish Illustrated.

Tim, let's pick up kind of where we left off with our instant analysis after we spoke with

Brian Kelly and had four player interviews on Saturday.

And let's start with, I mean, some really good news.

I think as far as, you know, wide receiver play at Notre Dame,

the positive news on Braden Lindsay and Lawrence Keyes and the actual citing of or suggestion that these two guys

are a lot stronger, which has probably been the main thing that has held them back up to this

point. And we didn't bring it up. That's an important thing. You remember people have to realize

sometimes the media will say, how is Braden Lindsay looking? And Brian Kelly has to answer. And

you're going to put a positive spin on it, kind of like last year.

Oh, he'll be fine after next week.

This was, tell us about the wide receivers.

And those are the next two names he used.

I find that important because he can beat his wits end sometimes with guys.

He can beat his wits end and he won't offer those names. And he offered the names I think fans wanted to hear. And really, I mean, media analysts want to hear too.

You got to get a hit out of Braden Lindsey or Lawrence Keys this year, right? That's, that is absolutely

crucial. Yeah, at least one of them. One of them, yeah. And then we saw video, some video evidence of keys. He kind of got, he took a swing pass and got a good block,

broke off a tackle and got a field. I don't know that we can necessarily say, oh, yeah,

he looks a lot stronger. But I did hear through the grapevine then that Lindsay did catch a

deep ball in a live situation on Saturday. And we also saw a video of Lindsey catch a deep ball.

I don't remember which practice.
