00:05Yeah, I mean, I think in this system, you definitely need to have a feel for it a little
00:09bit, right?
00:10You definitely need to understand it as much as you can, just like any system.
00:13But, you know, this is a place where you need to run and hit at back and be around the
00:17ball
00:18and want to be a part of every single play, you know, things like that where you could
00:22be backside, you know, for a play on a pass play, but you got to sprint to get to that
00:27ball because you don't know what's going to happen.
00:29So kind of just having that in your mind and kind of built into your system, I think,
00:33is one thing that, you know, kind of these, you know, linebackers in this system.
00:37I think, and I've said this before, you know, the chemistry is something that's big in this
00:41league, you know, understanding how guys up front are going to play, understanding, you
00:45know, just how the D-line fits certain things.
00:46And honestly, at backer, knowing how we're fitting every play, you know, I think from
00:50this point, you know, last year to this year, it was a way different ballgame.
00:54So I think our comfort level is just so much better, right?
00:58Have a good comfort level with the coaches, understand the scheme fully and getting those
01:03new guys acclimated and ready to go.
01:05So I think, honestly, just the comfort level, the chemistry that we've built, you know,
01:08through, you know, an offseason now and, you know, just the understanding of how our guys
01:13play, for sure.
01:32Yeah, I mean, I feel like we've shown, you know, a lot of, we've given, I think the coach
01:36has done a good job of kind of, you know, giving us a lot in terms of the mental strain
01:40of trying to put a lot of things out in front of us to see what works and what doesn't
01:44and kind of see, you know, whether we're kind of moving around and seeing, you know, where
01:48guys fit best, right?
01:49You're trying to get your best, you know, your best set of what you're trying to do and
01:53trying to get a feel for what it'll look like come week one.
01:55But I feel like we've handled that really well, you know, and obviously going against a really
01:59good offense every day helps a lot too.
02:01So I just think the, you know, the competition has been every single day and we've been up
02:06for it.
02:07And that's been honestly the best part.
02:09Some of them long days and we're, you know, right there going.
02:11So, I mean, I just, I know I remember that feeling last year after week one and it was,
02:15it was a bad feeling, man.
02:16So definitely, you know, I want to, I want us to start fast, you know, and I was a defense.
02:21We want to do that as a team.
02:22We want to do that.
02:23But it's easier said than done.
02:25You got to go out there and you got to do it.
02:27But for me, it's one of those things to where I can never get too overly amped where I'm
02:31messing stuff up and too low where I'm getting pushed around.
02:33So I'm always, I always come out just kind of ready to go and go where the game takes
02:38me.
02:38But I'm excited, man.
02:39Another, another year in this, in this system, my comfort level is just so much different.
02:43And I think we're ready to go.
