Roy BellamyPANELIST
How difficult is it to recruit those talent skill positions in the modern era, and why did you choose to leave that?
Brian HartlineGUEST
I mean, I think that, you know, for us at Ohio State, uh, we never took one transfer receiver in the whole entire time.
Brian HartlineGUEST
Um, again, nothing's perfect obviously, but, uh, you know, we hit the mark, uh, better than anybody in the country.
Chris CodyPANELIST
... who was the guy that when you were on the recruiting trail where you're like, "Oh, that guy's special."
speaker_87UNKNOWN
Sure.
Brian HartlineGUEST
And I think that, um, it's our job to, uh, provide opportunities to grow, to separate themselves, to see peer-to-peer evals, to allow these guys to check, you know, uh, chase a, uh, a, a role, um, at least through, through winter, they've gotten that started.
Brian HartlineGUEST
I think Brandon did a great job looking back, of finding his role last year and excelling at it.
speaker_88UNKNOWN
But what was the process like for you of protections and the run game and quarterback play and just continuing to grow with your knowledge of that part of the game as you prepared for this position?

Brian, what's it been like so far for you working with Chip Kelly?
Brian HartlineGUEST
I love, um, I love the, uh, the veteran that he has, you know? Um, and, uh, I love-- Yeah, I like, I lo- I love all of it.
Brian HartlineGUEST
I think that, you know, early on the biggest impact, you know, just, you know, feeling perspective, I think in the run game has been awesome, you know? And then, you know, off of the run game, some of the actions or, or relief throws or all that kind of stuff, I love where it's at.

All right? Uh, no, it's, it's really a great combo 'cause, like, you know, we're obviously-- we're, we're doing a lot as a group.
Brian HartlineGUEST
So, uh, but, you know, obviously Chip has a v- uh, an image and a view on things that I never had.
Brian HartlineGUEST
So to have that e- experience and to have that viewpoint, I'm just trying to absorb as, like, as much as I can, but then also highlight some things that we've really done a good job of and make sure those, you know, nothing's really changing.

Where do you see him, the fire, the passion right now as he gets ready for this one?
Brian HartlineGUEST
Yeah, I think when you come out of a season, you get out of January and kind of take a breath.
Brian HartlineGUEST
And then when you get back in the winter, it's the first opportunity to reestablish the new role that I want to have.
Brian HartlineGUEST
I mean, across the board, there's not one guy that doesn't want an improved role.
Brian HartlineGUEST
And I think that it's our job to provide opportunities to grow, to separate themselves, to see peer-to-peer evals, to allow these guys to check and chase a role, at least through winter they've gotten that started, to continue that through spring.

That way, but you know what I mean [laughs]
Brian HartlineGUEST
It's all about, it's all about quarterback play, you know? So I think in that same world though, to the point, is that, you know, in order to be a great recei-- or a great receiver or, you know, receiver guy, whatever you wanna call it, uh, there's only one page, it's the quarterback's page.
Brian HartlineGUEST
Their-- whether it be pr- their progression, their timing, the, the stresses they have is what we're trying to minimize.
Brian HartlineGUEST
So, uh, if you don't fully understand the quarterback play, it's hard to, you know, maximize receiver play, I think, you know.
