Thanks to all who submitted questions for our latest podcast. I'd like to see some more participation from The Lounge. These are the topics I tackled with @Eric Hansen (with timestamps).
28:11 | @Irishfan7611: I notice that Marcus Freeman doesn’t carry a call sheet. How heavily is he relying on Tommy Rees to run the offense? Should CMF carrying one for the sake of knowing what plays are being called?
31:24 | Chris Scheiber - @scheib43: Where do you start to draw the line between execution and coaching? Much has been made of Rees' playcalling but he's not dropping a pass like Styles, throwing a swing pass into the ground, missing Mayer open, false starting, missing blocks on the edge, and not getting off press..
34:02 | @Benny71: Are Coach Freeman and Coach Rees on the same page as far as offensive game plans? Did a rift in their relationship occur during spring practice?
37:58 | Marie Biafore - @biafore_marie: The linebacker play has not been good. What do you think the issues are? Is the scheme too complicated causing confusion? Do you think each player is in the position that best maximizes their athletic potential? If you were doing some position switching who would you switch? AND @IrishDisney33: I feel like the linebackers are doing just OK. There's nothing that’s making me say that they’re hurting the team drastically, but I also believe there’s a lot of room for improvement. They also seem slow out there. What are your thoughts on their play so far?
48:45 | @CharlesWWolfe: What on earth is up with all of the false starts this season?
51:54 | Bert Leonard - @Bert2834: With the offensive line playing better as the Cal game went on and giving Pyne time to throw, do you you ND takes more shots downfield this week? Or are they worried about Pyne's arm strength?
53:40 | @henrybeede: Which of Notre Dame's wide receivers are keeping Tobias Merriweather off the field?
56:12 | Nathan Reynolds - @Enforcers2117: Will Notre Dame keep putting last names on the back of the jerseys or was that just for the green jersey game? I think it would help with NIL and recruiting…Also how many times did your heart stop bc of the last 3 plays of the game? ( int, fumble, fail mary)😂
58:44 | Babaganoush - @PLACT_ITFDB: Is there any doubt that ND needs to secure at least a QB & WR in the transfer portal? I know fans can be hyperbolic but the QB & WR looks as bad as I can remember.
1:05:15 | @HartmanTeets6: Can ND flip any DBs after Bowen leaves?
