Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Comments from Irish offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock on Riley Leonard's summer of working to catch up in a new offense after being injured last spring. Are we more concerned about Leonard’s health or him being up to speed with the offense by the season opener? * Denbrock's comments on the positional versatility of his wide receivers and what we think it could mean.  * Denbrock's thoughts on if the offense is working at the right level of intensity at the start of fall camp. * Comments from Marcus Freeman on if freshmen cornerbacks Leonard Moore or Karson Hobbs will ready to go for Texas A&M. * Which will be a bigger factor in the season opener at Texas A&M: the heat or the Kyle Field environment? * Fill-in the blank...the Chicago Bears vs the Houston Texans in the Hall of Fame game tonight in Canton means BLANK. * What word or phrase would you like to see eliminated?

All right. Well, we've still got a lot to get to in this show. Are you ready for rapid fire?

0:18.9

I think rapid fire is just like an extension of all the good stuff we've talked about so

0:23.9

far.

0:24.6

You're just ready to kind of keep it going, huh?

0:28.6

All right.

0:29.2

Well, we've got a lot still to come.

0:32.0

So here we go.

0:33.5

New Notre Dame offensive coordinator, Mike Denbrock, chatted with us a little bit after

0:37.4

practice this

0:38.9

morning. And he said back at the end of the spring that Riley Leonard's summer would be very

0:45.0

important after he missed a big chunk of the spring with his injury. So I asked him today,

0:51.1

Denbrock today, if Leonard got everything in that he needed to get in this summer.

1:28.8

I think it's to be expected because, again, he was injured for a good chunk of the
