00:00Coach, a little different set up in the past year.
00:02You started spring camp, went all the way through.
00:04This time you're taking a break, what's the thought process with that?
00:07Yeah, you know, spring break just kind of naturally falls during that time.
00:10And so we're going to pack it in a little bit tighter here.
00:13So we're going some back-to-back days.
00:15Tomorrow will be our first back-to-back day,
00:16but that's going to happen pretty often during the spring practice period.
00:21When we looked at it with the way the roster was,
00:24we just felt like it was the right thing to get these guys on the field faster,
00:28not wait until after spring break, which at times is what we've done.
00:32And so we're going to get basically half the spring done.
00:35We'll have spring break, and then we'll come back and do the rest of spring.
00:38And the great thing it's going to provide for us is an opportunity
00:40to have another training cycle after spring ball.
00:44When you finish later, you're kind of limited on what you can do training-wise,
00:48then they're into summer pretty quickly.
00:50And so we had a good seven-week cycle here to start.
00:54We'll get spring ball basically done in a matter of five weeks,
00:57and then we'll have a nice cycle after to come back and train these guys,
01:00make some of the corrections in spring ball, and get ready for summer.
