Tobias Merriweather Must Step Up For Notre Dame

Transcript

00:00 Brandon, I'm here's where I'm at.

00:05 I'm in show me mode with the offense.

00:07 I don't, I've had some conversations over the last week with, with some sources

00:11 and then those things made me feel better, but okay.

00:16 I need to see it now.

00:17 Sure.

00:17 Right.

00:18 I need to see it.

00:19 I need to see the things that you're talking about.

00:21 Marcus Freeman talked today about, we got to get the bias Merriweather going.

00:24 And, and I, and I talked to a source the other day that was like, we can't be

00:29 the offense we want to be if we don't get Tobias going, I mean, so there's

00:33 at least people that believe that.

00:35 Okay.

00:36 Now I need to see, I need to see them actually do it.

00:38 And then I need to see it like Marcus Freeman's comment was great.

00:41 Vince, he said this, he said, look, we've got to trust him.

00:44 And, and, uh, to, to not just the perfect play where he's wide open.

00:51 We got to trust him with, you know, some 50, 50 balls and see if he can go my,

00:55 and that's kind of what we've been calling for all year.

00:57 So it was nice to hear him say that.

00:59 And, you know, again, you put, you put only so much, uh, so much

01:03 is into what a coach says, but like, it's nice to hear him say that.

01:06 That's great.

01:07 Does that give me confidence?

01:08 He's going to do more.

01:09 No, because I need to see it.

01:10 I need to see them actually do that with their game plan.

01:12 Right.

01:13 And I also need to see Tobias make those plays because the whole Tobias not

01:18 making, like I have beef with, with how they didn't you do more to get him

01:24 and Tyree involved early to give them more time to get into the flow of the

01:30 offense before Ohio state and Duke and Louisville and those types of teams.

01:33 Right.

01:33 Like that's a beef that I had, but I don't blame the Notre Dame coaches for

01:37 why Tobias dropped two balls against Duke.

01:40 I don't blame them for, you know, why, why Tobias isn't, you know,

01:46 necessarily getting off the line the way that I know he's capable of.

01:48 Like those things are all Tobias.

01:50 You are not getting mad at them for, you know, there are certain things

01:53 that are under their control and there are certain things that the players

01:56 got to step up and do a better job.

01:57 Thank you.
