Welcome back, everybody, to another edition of Irish Illustrated Insider.

I'm Tim Priester with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated.

We're joined by Pete Samson of the Athletic.

It's Friday, August 4th.

Nordame has eight practices in.

Practice number eight was at Michoaka High School.

Was it, were they at St. Joe high school last year and penn the year before vice versa i believe they were at st jo last year for sure

did they go to penn the year before i don't know but i thought i thought maybe they've done both

but this seems to be a a practice of nordame now visiting a high school, not telling anybody, not fooling everybody in the media, apparently in terms of watching the practice, which they shouldn't be doing.

But, yeah, eight practices down in Mishawka High School.

Earlier this week, we had interviews with

offensive linemen, defensive linemen coaches, guys jump in. Tim O'Malley, jump in there and

tell me what you took away from this week's interviews. And then Tuesday was our last

access with Saturday, August 5th. We'll be back with an opportunity to watch them.

Al Washington's a positive guy by nature, especially with the media when he's discussing

his players. But he seems to really like what he has up front. I asked him if he can go deeper.

I keep saying eight. It is nine because Burnham will play Summit Viper as well. It gives you three

Vipers. So they are nine deep. Reading between the lines, I don't think they're bringing, I don't

think Tyson Ford's right there yet along with the rest of the guys coming in. I think it's great

for his career. He lost the 19 pounds and can kind of settle in in that position because they could probably lose both strongside

defensive ends at season's end.

But he likes his defensive front.
