Brian, to take us home here on the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to you by our friends over at Van Duel.

0:20.5

We got a daily mailbag to take us home here. Now we got done talking about defense events today. Theme for today's mailbag folks is D-Ns, whether it's at Notre Dame, past, present, future, across the country in college football, or if you have some recruiting questions, go ahead and throw those in the chat as well. You can always put MB for mailbag or a mailbox emoji.

0:38.9

Prior to your submission, let's us know to set that question aside.

0:41.4

And as always, super chats get bumped up to the top.

0:45.2

And we'll start with All About Saturday, who had our first mailbag question for today.

0:51.6

How does Abraham C-say compared to the current defensive ends on the roster?

0:58.0

Very similar to Bubacar, very similar to Rodney Dunham and Ebeney Routa. He's cut from the same

1:04.2

cloth, right? He's 6-4 plus. Depending on where you see it, I've seen him listed at 6-4. I've seen him

1:09.9

listed at 6-4.5. I've seen him listed at 6.5. I have him listed as 6.5 just because that was the first height that I saw for him. You know, he's got long arms. He's extremely explosive like Rodney, like Ebenezer, like Bubacar. He's got really heavy hands like Bubacar, like Bubacar, like Rodney, like Ebenezer. You know, he's twitchy.

1:31.7

He can bend. He's got a great closing speed, Trev. I mean, we broke down his film. His ability

1:36.8

closing the quarterback is really impressive. I think he's right on par with Bubacar and Rodney and Ebenezer, not just from a ranking standpoint.

1:47.8

That's obvious, but I'm more referring to his skill set and how he fits into Notre Dame.

1:52.6

So if we kind of project beyond the Bubacar, Bryce Young-Keon era, and we predict, okay,

1:58.6

they're all off into the NFL they all got drafted they're all making

2:01.5

money and we project to a world in which it's rodney dunham and ebenezer utate and and

2:09.3

abraham c-say and jackson vaughn and guys like that you're talking about basically just kind of

2:15.6

plug and play whoever's on the field.

2:39.2

Now, Aiden O'Neill brings a little bit of a different skill set. Joe Reef will be part of the team. Then he'll bring a little bit of a different power guy skill set. So you'll have some different skill sets. But like those four guys, even though they're not cookie cutters of each other, are sort of in the same. If we're putting DNs into like three categories, they're all cookie cutters of each other are sort of in the same, like if we're, if we're putting D-Ns into like three categories, they're all in one category,

2:46.6

explosive, twitchy edge rushers, you know, and so I think that he fits in very, very well.

2:49.3

He's probably a little bit longer than Rodney.

2:52.5

I would argue he looks a little longer than Rodney does.

2:55.5

Same type of Twitch, same type of explosiveness,
