00:00What's a specific objective, if any, probably more than one objective for spring ball first week?
00:06Yeah, I mean, I think, obviously, you know, you're limited on what you can do contact-wise the first two
00:11days.
00:11So, you know, we try to focus in on fundamental development, skill development, learning the schemes.
00:18Obviously, you're going to focus a little bit more on the passing game those first two days because you're not
00:21in pads.
00:22And once we get in the pads, certainly that's going to change on Friday.
00:26You know, we'll allow, obviously, you start to get the battles at the line of scrimmage.
00:30You start to see all these guys from a physical standpoint of what they provide.
00:34And, again, I think evaluating that is so key, whether it's a returner that, you know, that has really worked
00:41hard in the weight room
00:42and maybe has really improved their physical skills.
00:44You know, a new guy, whether it's a freshman or a transfer, we're getting here and we're really seeing for
00:49the first time live
00:50and we're seeing the physicality and how they play and their fundamentals.
00:53So, yeah, we'll certainly start to dive into that.
00:55But, you know, you have to get off to a good start.
00:58The rules are the way they are, so we'll push through these first two days.
01:00But, obviously, we'll be eager to get the pads on.
