00:00I might have missed him, but I don't know if Sam Johnson came out.

00:03Is he dealing with an injury?

00:04No, he had a prior commitment off the field thing.

00:07Not really a prior commitment, but no, he's all good.

00:09He'll be back tomorrow.

00:10I know you said you were hopeful before about the offensive line

00:13and maybe being back together.

00:14Are you still hopeful?

00:16Is that looking like it may be longer than just this week?

00:22I definitely think we're making progress.

00:24You know, we've got a couple of lingering things that, you know,

00:30some of these guys are able to start doing some things on the field,

00:32and then you're trying to judge, all right,

00:35the difference between being able to do a few drills in practice

00:37and then, you know, realistically being ready to go in and play in a game.

00:43So we're trying to judge that with these guys.

00:45We've got a couple guys that are close,

00:47but also dealing with a couple of nagging things that have held us back.

00:51And the thing we've tried not to be careful about is pouring a bunch of reps

00:55into a unit, and then you end up playing with a different one.

00:57Now, if that happens, you know, an injury in a game, that's just part of it.

01:00But we're trying to, you know,

01:02we're trying to keep as much continuity there as we can.

01:05We think that that's helped us.

01:08So we'll see how the week goes.

01:09We're better.

01:10We're not at a point where I'm like, yeah, no doubt those guys are ready to go.

01:14We're just not to that point yet.
