00:00This year, just number of young guys, freshmen, especially here.
00:04How does that change your approach to spring practice or maybe even just change the tone of things out there?
00:09Yeah, I mean, I think you're combining that with, you know, obviously some changes defensively.
00:15You know, we're not totally scrapping what we did.
00:19This is not like we're going to some radically different system.
00:22But there certainly are going to be some changes in getting used to the new coaches,
00:26Coach Patterson and some of the new coaches on staff.
00:29Certainly with Coach Eckler coming in from a special team standpoint and joining with Coach Doherty,
00:33going to be a few changes there.
00:34And so, yeah, I think you're trying to balance all three of those things.
00:37But if you were to say what are, you know, maybe three really big keys this spring,
00:41you would have a hard time not naming, obviously getting acclimated to the new things defensively
00:46and on special teams and then getting acclimated to this roster.
00:49It is.
00:50But between, you know, over 30 new high school guys and then you've got some of the transfers
00:54that we welcomed into the program, you know, there's a lot of new guys.
00:58It's on this roster.
00:59And so I think getting a look at these people, you know, seeing, you know, where they're at
01:03in terms of their development, where they got to go, I think the evaluation process is going
01:08to be really important.
01:08And the other great thing about having this many people available is the more people available,
01:12you have more reps you can do.
01:14The more reps you can do, the more they can develop, the more we can all evaluate and get
01:18an idea going into, you know, later this spring and this summer of where we're at
01:22and obviously the improvements that we need to make at that point.
