This is Irish Illustrated Insider with Tim O'Malley and Pete Samson.

I'm Tim Priester, the middle of three podcasts this week, Wednesday, April 10th.

We had an opportunity to see practice Tuesday morning.

And Pete, I want to get your opinion first.

We've been, O'Malley and I have been,

wrote about it back in town, seeing Tuesday's practice, just some of your thoughts and takeaways

from Tuesday. I thought Ian Book looked really good. You know, he,

he did some of the stuff that I think fans maybe will get a little tired of last year with

like the checkdowns as almost like I felt like sometimes the second option opposed to the fourth

option. But I also thought he pushed the ball vertically really well.

And I thought you saw some of the really good stuff for progress he's made where I think

there was a couple of the clay pool that went deep.

Young is catching the ball over.

The ball is out of bounds, but he's getting a foot in.
