00:01You know, I thought the secondary was really physical yesterday, which has been a huge point
00:09of emphasis. This offense challenges you on the perimeter, makes you be really, really good in
00:16your fits, makes you be really good in terms of block destruction on the perimeter. I thought
00:21the secondary, both the corners and the safeties, played really, really physical. I thought some
00:27big time plays in the run game coming downhill, some really good on the perimeter. And I thought
00:35from being really, really sticky on third down, I thought the secondary did a good job,
00:40both the ones and the twos did. I thought up front, defensively, did a really good job,
00:46played physical, played violent. The linebacker group has been really solid all spring,
00:51and that showed up. Offensively, you know, I thought Byram did some really, really good things.
00:57I thought the running backs, you know, it was really good to see. This is twice now in a week
01:04we got to tackle, but Jeremiah Cobb did some really nice things. He's settling in and playing
01:10confident football right now. You know, I think at tight end, we're beat up a little bit, but
01:18like Jake Johnson, it was really his first extended minutes. It was really good to see him play physical.
01:25Xavier Newsome did some really good things for a young kid that I don't know if we really expected
01:31just a ton coming in early, but he's been forced into playing a bunch of reps. He did some really
01:37good things. I think up front, Cole Best, I thought played, and he's been really consistent
01:45running the show, getting us in the, again, defensively, you're getting a lot of pictures.
01:50It's on him to get us right, and I thought he did a really, really solid job. I'd say those
01:56are the
01:56groups that are individually guys that stuck out.
