| 0:00.0 | Still rolling here on the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought you by our friends over at F FanDuel. It's the Friday Free For All Mailbag going on and getting us kicked off here in this next part. We have Jerzy Bear with the Super Chat. Appreciate you. He says, again, thanks for all that you guys do. Irish Breakdown is my comfort show. Appreciate you guys. Thank you for that. I really appreciate that, man. I really do. |
| 0:43.0 | From Coleman Smith, will James Flanagan end up passing Cooper for Tide-N-1, and coop will be like a Brock Wright type due to injury? |
| 0:50.2 | No, I don't think, I think he'll be a better, a more productive pass catcher in college than what Brock Wright was. |
| 0:58.5 | Could James Flanagan pass up Cooper Flanagan for tight end one? Yes, he could. I don't know that he will, but he could. They're both very talented. I think in this instance, the, |
| 1:11.1 | the Cooper's just ahead of them right now because of experience. I just, I would put him |
| 1:18.2 | number one. And I think Cooper Fanning is a good football player. So he's talented as James. I |
| 1:22.3 | don't think so. But it's not this giant difference in my view. |
| 1:28.0 | So, and yeah, I think Coop's a better version of Brock Wright. |
| 1:32.5 | As far as what Brock was at Notre Dame. |

| 1:41.6 | but from what we saw from Coop in the spring, |
| 1:44.1 | would not surprise me if he held on to the number one tight end job and never let go. It also would surprise me if at some point in time James Flanagan became the tight end one. They're both very talented players. And if James Flanning becomes tight in one, I think I'm reading you correctly. We agreed that it will be just because of how good he is, not because Cooper's not |
| 2:01.0 | playing. |
| 2:01.9 | Correct. |
| 2:02.8 | It'll be a good thing, not a, man, I just wish Cooper was a little bit of a better |
| 2:07.0 | player than he is, but he's just not. |
| 2:09.5 | Yeah, it'll be a scenario where it's like, we just have to give James Flan to get |
| 2:13.2 | the ball more. |
| 2:14.5 | Like, that's... |
| 2:15.6 | Another one from Coleman Smith. |
