Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in, back to your Wednesday book I talk, one day away from driving the bus off.

Man, I feel like we could get a bus. Nathan, how huge would that be if we pulled up at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center in a bus with a Buckeye Talk logo painted on the side and then we had a bullhorn and we we yelled for like the guys that we were driving the bus for it would be like Garret Wilson, Garret Wilson, please report to the parking lot, right? It'd be like who are our guys it'd be and all the players would come

out and they'd be so excited and it would be a moment and then they would get on the bus and then we'd go to like Keynes or whatever and then come back and then that would be it and but we could also our most loyal Buckeye Talk listeners could also be on the bus. They could try to get their guys on the bus. Maybe we could go to the amusement park next year.

And next next year, yeah, we'll just keep pushing that up into the future. I mean, I think in the in the air of Name Image and likeness, we can get like big, you can big heads, you know, it's like a big Garret Wilson face, it's a fix to the side of the bus.

We're going to talk about overall defensive overview over overall because we talked to Jim Knowles on Tuesday and he dropped some knowledge on us. We're going to dig into the linebackers also on this podcast driving the bus will be the Thursday podcast. I also will say when I was driving home the other day, I was at a stop light and I looked to my right and the car to my right to driver had a giant.

Like plastic head of herself, like probably four times the size of her normal head, like you would hold up at a college basketball game or something and she had it pressed against the driver's side window.

So it was staring at me. So then when I looked over, I jumped because there was this giant face staring at me and then they were laughing and I was laughing and it was silly, but it must be a thing that are the young people. Stephen, do you drive around with a huge face of your face.

That I don't know, is this a thing was I tick-tocked? I don't know what it was, but was I tick-tocked? I don't know what happened to all this thing anyone has ever said.

Is this a thing most of the time when there's a thing happening that I'm like, what is this? And then my kids always ask a tick-tock. Stephen, is that a tick-tock? Get a face of your own face and drive around with it and scare people?

I don't think so.

Okay. Well, maybe it's just said then maybe it's just a silly little prank and I appreciate well, good for them.

I thought I'm using it. I wasn't driving at the times. We didn't drive off the road or anything. It was just seem like a lot of work.

So anyway, be on the lookout, older people, be on the lookout for young people with faces of their faces. Nathan, Jim Knowles, what did you get? Like half an hour? Roughly?

All right. So Jim Knowles is the linebacker's coach. So we talked to him because we talked to linebackers, but he's also the coach of everybody else.

Head coach of the defense, some might say.

So if you have some knowledge, drop some knowledge. You and Stephen parked there the whole time. You got the whole Jim Knowles experience. I was sort of scatting around a little bit.

So I don't know everything that he said. Take us through Nathan. What are the most important things that we learned about this defense talking to the defensive coordinator?

Well, I think the thing that jumps to the forefront is something we already knew was an issue, which was cornerback death.

We talked about the fact that there were only six scholarship cornerbacks on this team.

One of them is already banged up at least one of them that we know of Jordan Hancock, who it looks like some kind of a lower leg injury, a calf injury, something.

He's been seen after practice and look like he was limping a little bit, something's wrapped there.

And when he was asked today specifically about Jordan Hancock, Jim Knowles said, you know, that's above my pay grade as far as whether that's going to be a long term injury or not.
