00:00I thought Monday and Tuesday a little sluggish.
00:03They had two days off, Saturday and Sunday, and Sunday had to be the off day.
00:07Now that we're back on a plan on Friday night, now it's Saturday.
00:11So I thought we were a little sluggish on Monday and Tuesday.
00:14I thought Wednesday and today were really good.
00:16So it makes me feel better.
00:19But I definitely thought the last two days were good work.
00:23Did you all do any extra tackling drills this week, and how'd that look?
00:25As much as you can on dummies and those donuts and the new apparatuses we have for that, yes.
00:35We had to.
00:36We missed 30 tackles.
00:39But at this point in the season, it's really hard to tackle live on your guys.
00:45We need everybody, even the scout team guys.
00:48You just don't have enough.
00:50But yes, we made an emphasis of that in every endo.
00:53Do you expect tomorrow to go?
00:55I do not.
00:56I do not.
00:58How prepared has Omar been the past few weeks?
01:00We didn't see him in the first game.
01:02He's learning.
01:02I have zero worries about handing him a run play.
01:07It's just the other things that come with playing that position, you know, in particular the pass pro.
01:14It's just, you know, for a freshman that hadn't played and knowing every game there's going to be two new blitzes that you haven't seen,
01:21knowing that they have game plan for us, you know, how will he do in those moments.
01:26That's, I think that's, and that's not a knock on him, that's normal, that's a freshman running back.
01:33But excited to see him get some reps.
