00:03 >> Would I give Braylon James some burn?

00:06 Yeah, I would.

00:06 We talked about that last week.

00:08 I would have played him last week.

00:10 But I'll say it again.

00:11 You can't just toss Tobias Merriweather aside.

00:13 You've gotta find a way to get him going.

00:16 Eventually, if it doesn't happen,

00:17 you're gonna have to make some tough decisions.

00:20 But even though I would give Braylon James some burn, the whole point,

00:24 even if you're correct that he could replicate what Tobias is doing right now,

00:27 why would you want two guys playing the way Tobias is playing right now?

00:30 That doesn't make any sense.

00:32 They need to get Tobias going.

00:34 Would I also like to see them find something for Braylon?

00:37 Yeah, they should have done that last week, in my opinion.

00:40 Hey, Braylon, we're gonna put you in there and

00:42 just try to win off the line and go real fast.

00:45 And just, you know what I mean?

00:46 And just, but they decided not to do that.

00:50 And I don't agree with it, but it is what it is.

00:54 But I would have given him some burn.

00:56 But the bigger key, the more important thing, Ryan,

00:58 is not figuring out ways to get Braylon James on the field.

01:00 You gotta figure out how to get Tobias Merriweather going.

01:02 That's the biggest thing.

01:04 >> Yeah, I mean, there's some wire receivers that definitely need a little bit of

01:07 a confidence boost.

01:08 I will say this, though.

01:09 There's probably no more natural deep threat on the roster right now than

01:13 Braylon James, in my opinion.

01:14 That kid just understands how to do it.

01:16 I mean, you even saw it in the spring, in the fall, right?

01:20 As far as his ability to really work and create big plays.

01:23 I mean, I know it's practice, but still- >> If he wins off the line, Ryan,

01:25 they could not cover him.

01:27 Notre Dame's corners,

01:28 the only hope you had against Braylon James is you better beat him off the line.

01:32 >> Yeah.

01:32 >> Cuz if you don't beat him off the line, he's gonna smoke you.

01:35 I mean, that's just the reality of it.
