00:00I know media and outlets like to, you know, write us off because we don't have PG anymore

00:07and losing Russ.

00:10So it's like we're 12th or something, which is crazy to me.

00:15But I think that's what happens.

00:17You know, you lose a guy like PG and then everything goes up in flames.

00:22When you lose a guy like PG or Russ, you don't replace them.

00:25I mean, you can't.

00:27You can't.

00:28It's a great way to find other guys to do other stuff as a team.

00:32And we will.

00:33I think for the first time in a couple years, I don't think people expect anything from

00:37the Creepers.

00:38So that can be good as well for us to be in that position to surprise and shock people.

00:42You know, we tried to last year to where, you know, trying to figure it out and guys,

00:50the roles and, you know, it's kind of difficult when you've got that high caliber of players

00:55or quote unquote hall of famers and basically the same position and everybody trying to

00:59figure their roles out.

01:00It was pretty difficult.

01:01But, you know, this year for me, I got a clear space on what I need to be doing.

01:06I think guys will be able to expand and show that they have more to the game than what's

01:12being put out.

01:13So I'm really excited to get on the floor and continue to prove the media wrong.
