2023 Ohio State Football: Tradition Talk with James Laurinaitis & Steele Chambers

[@hossm1808]

I’m so happy JL is back! I bet we are going to see an improvement in that LB room!

[@tombouchard9606]

As a Michigan fan Spielman was always tops for me

[@davidvolbert3005]

So much truth and reminds me of my Army brothers and what we stood for too. Keep up the amazing work... GO BUCKS

[@troyv8302]

Awesome interview. Glad James put Spielman in that list, he's the reason I started rooting for the Buckeyes when I was in HS.

[@fdrisgreat]

Love Laurinaitus as a coach. The linebacker position was the one weakness in this Buckeye defense over the last several years and it is going to be corrected under Laurinaitus.

[@baractusobamiuscaesar5540]

I'd argue LB's were the only position where the players were consistently good and reliable. Corners were atrocious, mostly because of injuries, safeties were inconsistent, and DL was wildly inconsistent.

[@sheaswick0415]

Love this so much 👌🏽 couldn’t be more genuine!

[@mtrheins]

This is really great content!

[@Al-Rudigor]

I love this show!

[@TeriyakiSky]

I like that CJ was mentioned right after him and Tommy.

[@susanjoycesabo8450]

I just noticed the Block O tattoo on JL's right triceps. Buckeye for life!

[@1FootballGuy1002]

AJ Hawk & Chris Spielman are absolutely on the LB Mount Rushmore!!!😆😆 love these guys!!

[@oldben1800]

awesome interview....Steele seems like such a good guy, had me tearing up

[@jessehensley1812]

When i first started really watching OSU as a young kid all i can remember is steve tovar wearing those red high top pony football cleats!!! Only other LB that really looked intimidating to me besides the big cat being the most!!!

[@AsianPoshDorene]

So glad we got Laurenaitus back home! Go Bucks!!

[@444chroma]

these candid talks are so interesting. go bucks!

[@jeremykeith9225]

Definitely need more of this

[@chuckkanoy827]

Love this concept, the Coaches and Archie and the Players. Steele is fantastic - people or the relationships, it’s meaningful and important.

[@MargauxMachek]

THE PEOPLE. THE TRADITION. THE EXCELLENCE.

[@yankeedoodlexyz]

So Cool 😎😎😎😎

[@macmcalister5487]

Thank you, Coach. Really enjoyed this video.

[@douglashall2141]

Awesome interview. Love and respect for Coach Laurinaitis. He is Buckeye strong and respect. Just turning this conversation makes me think of Aretha Franklin's song, Respect. And it gets me pumped up. Go Bucks! OH- 🏈

[@joeybonzo1209]

Awesome to see Laurinaitis back in the Scarlet and Gray. He seems like a great coach so far, and a great person. Beat Michigan!!!!!

[@jamescooper3324]

Lmao beat Michigan 🤣

[@mshedenhelm]

Great Segment, neat concept. OSU video room needs a remodeling job :) You can argue forever on who the best were that wore the scarlet and gray. Give me Spielman, Hawk, James, and the BIG CAT. ANDY KATZEMOYER WAS THE BEST TO EVER PLAY LINEBACKER AT OSU. 3rd in Heisman I think? Can't wait to see some tackles in the backfield this year and not five yards downfield. Heisman campaigns used to die vs OSU's defenses....bring that tradition back. The staple of a great D was nobody ran on the Silver Bullets...and that goes double for the team up North. Can't wait to see Tommy E and Steele play even faster than last year. Good luck fellas!

[@WOLF167h]

"ANDY KATZEMOYER WAS THE BEST TO EVER PLAY LINEBACKER AT OSU" - I couldn't agree more!

[@jamescooper3324]

Well I mean, you beat every team except the block M’s 🤣

[@ericroberts6453]

James knows what means to be a Buckeye .. second to none

[@jamescooper3324]

Lmao he has his uncle’s soft ass mindset. Dude should’ve learned from his dad how to be tough.

[@TY9941_]

GO BLUE!!!!

[@OwenParish-f5t]

Screw off

[@RefocusedLens]

Keep making these!

[@MargauxMachek]

Huge to me that Laurinitis is our LB coach! So awesome.

[@timmystinytender5533]

I’m so happy he’s coaching but man I miss listening to him every morning from nine to noon

[@stephencjacks]

Marcus Marek (People Forget), Spielman, AJ Hawk

[@abegriggs17]

I like this set up. Chambers is ready I feel good about him this year just like I did when his injury as running back set him back. I know he was still gonna find a way to get on the field

[@D_Shep343]

I couldn’t like and respect these two guys any more than I do now

[@TheRodFarva]

Andy F'n Katzenmoyer

[@MegaLockedown]

It's crazy they didn't mention Kat

[@Bro_DT]

Criminally underrated NFL career

[@09flstcmcodonnell42]

Andy Andy katzenmoyer started as a true freshman he's about 6 ft 5 and weigh 265 lbs and you did not want to be hit by him

[@nedstewart1]

Did the Big Cat ever play against Florida State?

[@armynurseboy]

I really hope that they'll retain James as a coach.

[@VincentTactical]

Big Kat was a beast!!

[@thedogs3467]

See y’all at the big house at the end of the year. Stay healthy. Prepare for the cold. Be undefeated. Be great.

[@djrh3690]

Marek deserves a mention…

[@DanielIsaacs]

When guys like Bobby Carpenter, Matt Wilheim, and Raekwon McMillan don't even get a mention, it really highlights how ridiculous our history at LB has been

[@buckeyetater7540]

They could only pick from 4 according to their rules. Steele picked Tommy Eichenberg and we all know that’s a matter of Tommy being his roommate. If I was to pick just 4 it would be…… .4 Cousino 3.Hawk 2.Gradishar 1. Spielman.

Andy Katzenmoyer & Pepper Johnson . Jack Tatum could've played Linebacker in today's game on an All-American level.

[@chrismcclendon5335]

Lots to choose from, like AJ Hawk, Katzenmoyer, Tovar, Johnson, and more, but how do you leave Spielman off of the mountain???

[@TruBrowns99]

Andy Katzenmoyer has gotta be top 4 or 5 best OSU LBs

[@fcruz43215]

Go get 'em boys!!!! BEAT blue!!!!!!!!!

[@rephillips56]

Steele Chambers will be an All American 🎉

[@mkwy8782]

Listening to him talk and assessing his play are two different worlds.

[@jamescooper3324]

More like a UDFA 🤣

[@knot289]

I'm not sure how anyone, especially JL leave off the first ever butkus award winner. Not to mention I remember an article about JL where he says his first football jersey that his father gave him ( Rip Animal) was none other than the freak Andy Katzenmoyer.

[@matthewmiller5194]

Raekon mcmillan, was nice , Also this is deep it's what keeping it a 100 💯 means to a T ... Ride and Die together even Cry to ya before I'll lie to ya... Football is hard family is forever that's why we want a family environment GO BUCKS, JAMES show em the way... OH

[@daiconoclast]

Let's hope the entire current defense heard this exchange because the one thing they lack is leadership. They lack that voice in the locker room who will get in guys' faces when they're not taking care of business, doing their job on the field and off. Who will push them when they begin to get sluggish and lothargic out on the field. Most of those linebackers that Laurinaitis and even Steele referenced didn't lose back-to-back games to TTUN and were tough as nails.

[@jamescooper3324]

No but Steele lost 3 back to back then went undrafted and joined a Michigan team 🤣

[@davidcraft4636]

Kat was a monster. Some how he’s been forgotten.

[@bootneyfarnsworth2844]

In some ways it's like he's being erased from OSU history

[@BurnellBrownIII]

Gotta love Steele Bruh. I wanted to see him take over the staBle after DoBBins, But im happy hes w/ us period. (Need someone to explain ttun made mama jokes tho .Heart kant Be too B1G kome the end of novemBer..)

Put the "Kat" on the list!!!!

[@scbuckeye1267]

O-H!

[@brock_decoy70]

I-O! Go Bucks!

[@jessehensley1812]

For me it's the big cat hands down , then AJ, spielman, marek, very underrated and not talked about is nail diggs and matt Wilhelm

[@duanecarter7954]

Pepper Johnson, Carpenter and Katzenmoyer weren't bad either and I almost forgot about Jack Tatum. Lot of great linebackers have played at TOSU

[@jessehensley1812]

@@duanecarter7954 Tatum was primarily a safety at OSU but was used as a LB at times

He's a legend as well

[@09flstcmcodonnell42]

I'll go with Andy katzenmoyer he was the biggest baddest linebacker Buckeyes I've ever had

[@jamescooper3324]

Tradition is soft. Clearly he’s not as good of a coach as he is a player. You can tell he has his uncle’s weak ass mindset as opposed to his dad’s badass mindset.
