00:05Yeah, just competing, you know, competing like he's been doing, you know, rising to the challenge
00:09like he's done, you know, leveling up every single time that we've asked him to.
00:13That's important that he does that.
00:15And we're going to give him different looks on defense and different things that we're
00:18putting in for the season that we want on our menu board defensively.
00:21And we're challenging our players right now to learn those.
00:24Because what you do is conceptually as offense and defense and kicking is you put the concepts
00:29in, and it seems like a lot to the players, and it is, but those are things that you're
00:34going to pull off your menu board.
00:35It's not something that is brand new to the player, you know, okay, this is this concept
00:41that we talked about, you know, during the week three or week four of training camp, and
00:45you're able to pluck those things off to have multiplicity in your scheme.
00:48So that's what we're going to end up doing with the offense, continuing to do with the
00:52offense, the defense, and the kick.
00:54No, it was an open plan, you know, so we had an open ending to it.
00:59So we wanted to see how it was, how it progressed.
01:01We kept an open mind about it.
01:03And all of us were all on board to do flex and move wherever we needed to.
01:09And I think that shows adaptability in terms of the veterans that were playing there, understanding
01:14of where he is.
01:16And he did a good job of progressing, you know, all season and working into that.
01:20So preliminary plans on those.
01:23But with him, we're going to wait, you know, we're going to wait a little bit for that.
01:26It'll be in the next week when we start working on Tennessee.
