• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Was Brooks this thing from the game'say, what a John Radigan?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: What does he sort of messy guy? I know he played,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: he plays an awful lot of special teams. Johnny's done
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a really nice job. He's improved a good amount from
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: last year. He did a nice job, you know as
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a rook you know, in helping us and and playing
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: on a bunch of teams. But this year he's he's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: one of the leaders, and he's one of the most
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: productive guys. Uh, He's he's just been right in the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: middle of everything. He's been a big factor for us.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Johnny come off the bench and play for us too,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a linebacker. But his team's work has really been it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: really stood out, and he's on the top of our
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: board as far as production, and we're excited about that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: That's a good question for you, Greg. You know, I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: would what I would tell you about about Johnny that
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I don't recognize any traits in the way he plays
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: or operates that demonstrates he's anything other than that, you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: all in ballplayer, and I would think his commitment and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in his consistency is you know what you'd love to see,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know, in in the service. I'm sure and uh,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he was a great asset there as well.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: So I mean he's everything you could hope for. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I think that's what we would love to, you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: see and and believe that in our serviceman are two.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: So he he represents beautifully. He's exactly what you'd like
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to see. Kobe Parkinson, how's he doing? He did well today, Yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: he's he's he looks like he's gonna be all right
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it really. I mean, you can almost ask me about
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: anybody that that's been on the list, guys who are
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: really stronger than we've been, and we're, uh, we're capable
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of you know, putting a bunch of guys out there.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So we're we have some choices to make, you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and and I'm really excited to say that for the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: guys that are batting that you know, to get out there,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and and the guys who are trying to come back
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: from stuff too. So we we got no, we have
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: no issue there were We're looking pretty strong. Walker was
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: on the injury report earlier in the week, but that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: just kind of yeah, he he was flying yesterday and today, yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: he was he was going. Wait any back indage, how
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: how much is he able to do? On the special teams.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: He's working. He's working, you know, to find his niche
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: that he hasn't had a lot of time to establish
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: himself yet. You know, those it's about roles, you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and and you know how you fit him together and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: all that. But uh, he's very capable, and he's and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: he's really quick, and he's a good learner and all
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: that stuff. So it just he just needs to get
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: some turns. He needs to get out there and show
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: us back. Yeah, he had a very good week too.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm like I'm saying that every one of

• 4:36
  Speaker 1: week worked for him, and uh, we won't determine anything yet,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: but he was impressive and and he he had a
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: very good season last year for us. We have high
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: expectations for him to be a contributor, particularly on teams,
