00:00Bryce, how's the team chemistry been compared to prior years

00:07with the incoming transfers and some of the freshmen?

00:09Obviously, you guys have the team barbecue.

00:11You guys .

00:13Yeah.

00:14Talk a little bit about kind of how that helps throughout the season.

00:18Yeah, honestly, I think the team chemistry is as good as it's ever been.

00:21Obviously, we've got a lot of new faces and a lot of young guys.

00:24You know, but based off everything I've seen, man, guys are connected.

00:28We've done a lot of team bonding activities, like you said.

00:30And, you know, I'm excited.

00:32You know, there's a lot of good energy, too, a lot of young energy,

00:36guys that are excited to play football.

00:37So, yeah, it should be fun.

00:39Obviously, you're a pretty experienced guy at this point.

00:41Are there any, like, shortcomings or lessons from the last couple of years

00:44that you're building on this year in terms of, you know,

00:45improving your personal game or just the team dynamic?

00:49Yeah, I'd say personally, you know, just growing my, you know,

00:54football IQ and football knowledge.

00:55I mean, it's easy sitting behind a screen and, like, pointing stuff out on film.

00:59But once you get in the game, actually slowing the game down and recognizing it,

01:02I feel like I've done a pretty good job of applying my film study to, like,

01:05on the field, which is one thing I wanted to pick up.

01:08Obviously, putting on weight.

01:09I put on 10 pounds.

01:10Something I really wanted to do.

01:11And then, like, team-wise, I'd say just, like, stopping the run.

01:15That was a big emphasis that we were talking about in the linebacker room.

01:19You know, the most physical team always wins in football.

01:21So if we can do that this year, you know, we did an all right job last year.

01:24It wasn't quite to the standard.

01:26But, you know, if we can bring the physicality and stop the run,

01:28it'll have a good year.

01:29So...

01:30I can.

01:30It looks like we're putting in the game.

01:31It looks like this isn't just yet.

01:31So, it does all seem to do so.

01:32I can.

01:32It feels like we're putting in hoods into some of the kind of people.

01:35And thus, we can.

01:36So, you know, when everybody starts 23, we have to build a service.

01:39We're putting the support that stick around.

01:40And with your Please, we can.

01:41It looks like you.

01:43...

01:44Be generous, there's no really good answer.

01:48So, finally, that...

01:50and with these people, we're putting this up.

01:54what are some of the things you've got to do?

01:56for you guys?

01:57You're talking about.

01:58Let's just have to try.
