  Speaker 1: I'm just happy and thrilled for Frank and his family,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and um, he means a lot to me. Obviously helped
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: me win a championship you know in Philadelphia, And UM,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I knew it wouldn't be long. You know. He's a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: great coach, he's a great mentor, he's a great teacher.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: He played this game for a long time. So UM,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just excited to get him out of our division
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and uh and get him get him in Carolina. He
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: played it, he understands the mentality, he understands the mindset
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of the quarterback. Um, and and sometimes that's what it takes.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: He played this game and he played it as a backup,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: you know, just like I did for so many years.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And and UM, I think there's a you know, there's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a mentality there that that you can really pass on
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to two quarterbacks. And and he's got a, um, you know,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a really good feel for that. Your experience, momentum carry
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: from season to season, and him once maybe the challenger
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you guys have in building off for what you guys
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: did last year and having guys well, I think momentum
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: can carry you. But every year is different. You know,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we're we're all thirty two teams are starting over, you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and everybody's zero and zero and you know, we're trying
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to build the best roster um just like the thirty
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: one other teams right now. But we can we can
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: learn from what we did, especially the second half of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: our season. Um, I feel like we got the right guys,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the right makeup, the chemistry, the locker room is solid,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and those are the things you build on. You know.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: That's the momentum that you're talking about with those guys
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: right there, and guys that have been in Jacksonville, you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and and they've they've kind of gone through some tough
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: times and now you know, this past year they got
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: on the other side of that. And so that's the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: challenge now of keeping that rolling as we head into
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: twenty three. Well, Chad was kind of a free agent
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and um, you know, I actually got a chance to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: coach him when I was an assistant coach in Philadelphia,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and um, he's just a he Again, he played the position,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: he knows it. He's got a great mindset, he's energetic,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: he's a great teacher, um, you know, and so those
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: are those are all kind of the traits that you
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: look for uh, in assistant coaches and UM, you know
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: he was the top guy on my list of your teams.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You definitely want them to think that way, you know. Um,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I want them to feel that kind of pressure, you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: where you have to perform weekend and week out. You know.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But in the in this past year, we were just um,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you know, playing to win a game and and then
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and then ultimately we find ourselves, you know, winning more
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: games at the end of the season, putting ourselves in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a position to win the AFC South. But now those
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: are the expectations that that that I, as the head coach,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: expect our football team to have. And and that'll start,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you know, April seventeenth, when we when we start our
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: off season program. I don't know, Um, he hasn't been
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: cleared yet, so I'm just waiting for that day, anticipating
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the day that he can Um he's cleared by the NFL,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and uh, we're looking forward to that day. I can
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: only go off what I've seen on film, and UM,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you know, he's excitable, he's uh, he's he's a top
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: receiver in this league when he's when he's on his game. UM,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I'm excited when that day comes that we can embrace him,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you know, in onto our team and um, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: he gives us, uh, just another another weapon potentially, uh
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for Trevor. We really don't know, We really don't. It's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it's in the league's hands. But uh, you know, we're
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: just waiting waiting for that day. Another guy you want.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But you know, Jim's been He's also been a head coach,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you know, in this league. He's been a coordinator for
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: so many years also in this in this Uh, in
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: this league. He knows his players, he builds relationships with
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: his players, he gets the most out of his players.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And um, he's another one that's a really good teacher. Um,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: he understands the game. And he's gonna be a good
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: fit there, you know, with with coach Stefanski and and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: everything they're doing in Cleveland. I think the next step
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: for Trevor um is just another step in in the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: leadership role, right, you know, last year, but what's probably about,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you know, learning, learning a new offense, learning to play
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: this game, learning a bunch of different aspects of playing
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: quarterback in the National Football League. But we just we
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: just build on that. That's the next step. That's the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: challenge for him again to take as great as he
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: was and as good as he was at the end
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of the year, he can be better, you know. And
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: then that's the challenge that that we'll have for him
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: U when he gets back in in April, and and uh,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I know that'll be the challenge that he'll put on
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: himself to play and and be a be a better,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you know, version of himself moving forward. When you're sitting
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: at number twenty five or kind of playing the waiting game,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what are some philosophies and trades that make you want
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to either move up in the draft and trade down
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in the draft. I mean, you know, listen that the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: draft is a funny thing. And um, you know, we're
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: fortunate to be down. I think we're at twenty four
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: um this year, and um, you just you just play
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the waiting game. Obviously, you know, if there's somebody, a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: player ahead of ahead of us that that you may
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: want to grab, you try to, you know, try to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: make a move to grab that player. But a lot
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of times when you're you know, in the bottom you know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: third of the of the draft, you just you just
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: waiting and sit and uh, maybe there's teams that want
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to come up and maybe you can gain more capital,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: right draft capital as you as you uh as you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: sit there at twenty four, so a lot of options there.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Um and hopefully the player that uh you know we
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: target is sitting at twenty four, we take him for
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you guys now having had the staff for a year,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you know, last year it was obviously like a week
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: three weeks that you guys have been together. How different
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: is it now to have the full staff. Well, it's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: great to have the full staff. It's great to have
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a full year under our belt. You know, this offseason
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: has been a lot different, been different from me from
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that standpoint, um, you know, and now we can we
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: can just kind of focus on this the free agency
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that's coming up. We can focus on the draft coming
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: up and spend our time going back and watching watching
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: our season, our scheme, a vow you know, process and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: trying to make things better and um, that's the that's
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the that's the fun part now about what we do
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: right is helping helping our team get better. You know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: for this year, you gotta follow up. Isn't just maintain
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: continuity with quipment scheme. Obviously you have a bunch of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: free agents, everybody together. I think it's everything. You try
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to keep your core together. You know, you try to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: sign as many of your your free agent players as
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you can. You know this business, Uh, you're gonna lose some.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: We know that you try to sign them all, uh
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: if you can. Um. And we've got some talented guys
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that uh, you know, we'd like to like to have back.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: But UM, you know, we'll wait and see see how
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the process plays itself out. UM. But I think the difference,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the difference for us is these are really good players
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that we like to have back. And then you build.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: You build through this process, right, you build through the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: draft and and just add add depth and talent. That way,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you believe that a multi sport athletes, Well, if you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: think I'm a I was a basketball and a baseball guy,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: so maybe, but I wasn't drafted. Um. I think I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: think that playing multiple sports could help. You Know, you've
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: got to You've got a background and um in different aspects,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: different sports, different teammates, different rules, all kinds of things.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: But um, you know, at the end of the day,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: when they get here, they're football players, and and we
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: got to coach them as football players. And uh, they
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: got to be able to come in and help us win.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Challenge is that Kance? Well, this time of year, you're
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: not calling plays. Um, you know, you're helping build your
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: roster and you're you're helping Trent Balky and his his
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: team to you know, better the roster. But as you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: get into the regular season, you know it's, Um, there's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a balance, there's a fine line there. You got to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: make sure that you are are studying and preparing yourself
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to call to call the game, and at the same
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: time you're also managing the roster and you know who's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: gonna be up on Sunday, who's not and things like that.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: But you know that's why you compartmentalize things a lot.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: And um, you know, just uh, having done it now
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: for you know, six years, it I don't want to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: say it gets easier, but the but the the whole process,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: this gets a little simpler for you sneaks. I'm wondering
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: part how that part of the game. But do you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: think that should be would part of the games should
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: have been, particularly with stack guy in the mind, Well,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I guess until they changed the rule, it's going to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: be a part of our game. Um, you know, it'll
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: be obviously be it'll be at a topic at the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: at the league meetings, you know, coming up at the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: end of March, and Competition Committee, I'm sure is you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: looking at a lot of data and different things. Right now.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Trevor's length helps, um, you know you you alluded to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that earlier. He was able to dive over the pile
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: for a couple of touchdowns um this year for us
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and also, uh, you know, some valuable third and one,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: fourth and one situations. We have to get better as
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a football team. It's a valuable part, um, you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: of your of anybody's offense. You know, you saw what
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Philly did and has done with uh with with their
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: offensive line and Jalen Hurts and and um, you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and that's that's that's a great example of uh, you know,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: using using the tools and resources you have to you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: execute that play. Quarterback number one, they've got to be
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: able to um. You know, it's an unselfish role. You
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: got to take a back seat because because normally it's
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: hard for a quarterback, especially a backup quarter because you
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: want to play right And I think about our guy CJ. Bethard,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I think about even Nick Foles and Philly and myself
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and you know, Frank Reich we talked about, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: but the thing is you want him, you want him
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to push the starter, but don't threaten the starter, you
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And and um, that's why we've
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: got a really good It was great to get CJ
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: signed for a couple of years. And UM, he's he's
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: he's the perfect guy for Trevor because he's he's a
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: veteran guy. He's played, he's started games in this league.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: He knows our offense, and he can really be another
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: set of eyes for the for for Trevor. And and
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and that's what a backup does. And and you push
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: them from the standpoint of making Trevor better, but at
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the same time, you're never threatening that position, right And
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and um, CJ is the perfect I know, he wants
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to play, and he had an opportunity maybe last year potentially,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you know, with with Trevor's injury and um and all
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of that. But UM, to me, that's what that's what
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: makes a solid backup. Yeah, every every draft class, every
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: year is different, you know. And and um, you know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: for for us as coaches, this is the first time too.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You know that we get the chance to see these guys,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: you know, because you know, we just we just finished
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: our season about a month ago and and um, you know,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: so we're getting a first look at a lot of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: these guys. And there's some there's some talent in this
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and this year's class. And that's the whole process. It's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: it's coaching and scouting coming together and um, you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: really having some some great conversation dial You gotta watch
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the film, you gotta watch the tape, um, you know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and make great evaluations and um, you know, prepare yourself
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: for the upcoming draft. Travis Etn had his first real
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: experience under his belt after this season. What did you
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: like from him after that first year and what are
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: some things you look to or you're looking for him
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: for next year. I think the biggest thing for me
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: was I loved his toughness, his physicality. I mean, he's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: not a big guy, but he's very physical when he runs,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and um, can be can be elusive, got good speed
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and and he's just gonna get better as a runner.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You know, when he gets a chance to go back
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and watch what he did last year in our system,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be times where you know he's gonna go, ah,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I should have hit it, hit it here, I should
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you know, that's the that's the growth, growth mentality that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: he'll have. And and just excited for him, you know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: get him back in our system again second year to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: watch the growth um in you know in him and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: really how he bounced back from that injury a year
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: one uh in the foot to really, um, you know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: be a really good impact player for us on offense,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: just a quarterback positions especially, you know, Jim Bob was
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: a was a great asset for myself for Press Taylor,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: my offensive coordinator. UM. A lot of wisdom and insights
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: to the game. He studies the game very diligent, you know.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And he's he's obviously been a coordinator before where he's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: called play. So I just didn't want him to go
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: into the division. Um, but I'm happy for him. Great
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: opportunity to be a coordinator again. UM, and he'll have
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously success except twice a year, um, but um,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and and really the way he's you know,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: when he was in Detroit, you know with Matthew Stafford,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: right and then places he's he was a year in Philly,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you know, and he saw Jalen Hurts and that there
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and of course with Trevor here, so he's he understands
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: that position. And uh he'll be a big process you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: or a big influence I think in their process this year.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Um here in Indy. So UM happy for him. You
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: know I hated to see him go, obviously, but I'm
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: excited for him. Are you his friend? Um? No? You
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: know it's funny because Chad I coached Chad. I was
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: an assistant coach under coach reading Philly when when Chad
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: came through, and I just love his work ethic, you know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the fact that he's played the game. Uh, tough, tough kid,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: great teacher, great motivator, a lot of energy. You know,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: those are all things that you love to see out
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: of that receiver room. He's coached them really good, you know,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs, He's coached them some great players obviously. Um,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and so we're excited. I mean, you know he was,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: he was you know when he became available, he was definitely,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Um the guy I wanted to get. How are you great?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Great question? There were a lot of things that clicked.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: You know. It wasn't easy early in the season, we
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: kind of struggled. We we had some misques in the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: red zone and and um, you know, Trevor wasn't you know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: as as polished as he was back half of the season.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: But you know, that's one of the things as coaches,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: we got to take the good and we got to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: build on that. And so that's what we're doing now
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in the off season as a staff is looking at
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: all our our positive plays, the things we did well,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: whether it's run or pass, and then making them better
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: for twenty three and then and then again we get
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to implement that stuff, um, you know in the off
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: season program coming up in mid April and then ultimately
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: in training camp. So you know, so many times in
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: so many years, there's a lot of one one hit plays, right,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: plays you you think are gonna work. You just push
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: them aside and you just focus on h focus on
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: who you are as a team. Uh, as you know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: watch Trevor's plays and and see see what he did
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: well and uh and build on that for this year.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: What do you what's really the extacys getting them to
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: think the second year lead like a couple of different
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: guy into the finals. I think the biggest thing for
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: both of those players, I mean, Chad Luke, I mean
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: you throw those guys in the mix, is the fact
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that they're finally going to have an offseason to themselves
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and um, you know, they can they can um, they
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: can rest, they can heal, and then they can begin
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to to go back and watch watch their performances right
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: within within the defense. I think all three of those guys,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: really four of those guys. Put Luke in there too.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be so much better this year from the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: standpoint of knowing and understanding the game, how it's, how
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: it's to be played, how it's to be practiced or
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: in the week, how to be a pro, how to study,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: how to take care of your body. I think those
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: are all aspects of becoming a professional football player. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and so all of those guys, um, that's what they're
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: going to take away and that's what they can lean on,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you know. Moving on to twenty three, Marvin Jones, but
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: obviously Calvin Ridley coming in, Marvin Jones going on there
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: agency how important is it to have that kind of
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: ball winning climatecy uh in your well when it when
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it comes to Calvin right now, we you know, he's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: not with us yet. You know, we're still waiting the ruling. Um,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: we're anticipating that obviously, and and you know if that
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: if that, um, you know, if and when that comes,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I mean obviously we'll be we'll be excited. Marvin's listen.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Marvin helped us win a lot of games this year.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: You know, Um, he was kind of he was kind
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: of Trevor's go to guy in certain situations, you know.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And you saw him make the great catch in the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Baltimore game, and you know, for the touchdown there, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: um all really throughout the course of the season, very
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: unselfish player and and um, you know we'll just have
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: to see you know again, we'd love to get all
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: our players back. Um, and and you know, just just
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: seeing where it's gonna where it's gonna play out. I
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: mean again, you can't, you can't sign them all. You
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: want them all, but you can't as part of this business.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: And UM, you know, whatever happens, I know, Marvin's gonna
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: be whether he's with us or somebody else, He's gonna
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: give it, you know, one hundred and ten percent wherever
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: he's at. Are you looking to have like a similar
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: rotation right now. You only really have just resigned. But
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you know, are you looking? Yes, you knew that was coming,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you know. I think I think in today's game, you
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: gotta have you have two to three guys you got
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: they gotta be able to carry the load. You're talking
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: about a eighteen weeks seventeen game schedule in a postseason.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: It's it takes wear and tear on guys, you know.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: And and so you know, um, we haven't seen enough
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: of Snoop Connor yet either, you know. And and but
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: we'll be like him, and we know what Jamachael can do.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: We obviously know what what what you know t j
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Etn can do? Um, And so you know, yeah, you're
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: always looking to have two, three, four guys that can
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: work the rotation at any given time, you know. And
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I would say this. The last thing I would say
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: is I like him to play special teams as well.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And so that's a big, big part of the you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I think the impact of a running back is being
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: able to play special teams. All right, Thanks,
