  Speaker 1: You know, we did obviously one on ones for the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: first time today with the pads on. I thought those
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: guys did a nice job of getting some working while
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: protecting each other. And then one on ones and in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the mamba I thought was nice as well. I thought
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we got some good quality work. Good to see some
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of those guys make some plays one on one in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: those situations.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: You have to go back and look at the protection.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: But it felt somewhat clean.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's that'll ramp up more like we'll
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: continue to get more that good on good work as
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: we get the pads on and our in pads more consistently.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I think it was weeks sense pass.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he did kind of what he you
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna do in a way, right. I mean,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think he meant to necessarily like low. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: don't even really loaded his shoulder on Caleb. It just
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: was one of those hits. And yeah, he showed up,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: which is kind of what you're hoping.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: And I think, you know, he was feeling better.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: He's continuously getting better, and we're just trying to be
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: smart with allright, getting him to work, getting him acclimated
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: while not trying to aggravate it. Knowing that we're so
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: early on and I know he was excited about getting
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the pads on.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Is like working in the rain a little bit.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's like it's football, right, and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: we are it has to be an edge for us
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: here in Florida, and knowing that shoot, last year, right,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: we had a delay and all that, you know, week
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: one and just we got to get that working now
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: with some of the other like the one on one
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: pass game, that would have.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Been a waste of time to do out here.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So we wanted to make sure we got clean working there,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: which I you know, some good work. And then you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: know these guys they don't care, right and they want
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to just play and they prefer to stay outside on
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the grass then go inside. So I just typically, you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you're concerned just anchoring guys anchoring and slipping out whatever.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: But it's football, I mean, stuff happens.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's done a nice job.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's part of what we've done, moving
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: those guys around and seeing what sticks and if if
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that ends up sticking, you know, hopefully that's a good
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: thing for us.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And I think he's put together.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, five good practices so far that you're
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: pleased with seeing the consistency. That's something that we're continuously challenging,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: not just Anton with, but that entire unit and and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: group is just consistency, consistent effort, consistent technique, consistent finish.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: But I've been pleased with them just handling it pretty
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: seamlessly so far.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought Rooth did a nice job today.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I thought he flashed, you know, more today than maybe
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in some of the previous days. I think he might
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: have two sacks in the mamba period on the first
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: two plays of his rack.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: So nice to see him flash.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It's it's always a little bit more realistic when you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: get the PA. I mean, the whole thing is like
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: past pro.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Sucks with no pads on it. It just does.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So it's nice to see him win when you're expecting
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the past rush to maybe be a little less than
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it's been because of the pads being on.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So that was nice to see him flash.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm I think, you know, we talked about BJ
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: flashing and some of those I thought Danny flashed a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: little bit today as well. So we need those guys
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to continuously give us some meaningful reps.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: In one on ones and then he had the one.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the connection, man, the chemistry between not just he
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and Trevor, but us right me as as a coach,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: as a play caller, the rest of the group, the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: entire team's confidence and swagger that that brings. When when
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you can throw the ball over somebody's head, it's just
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a it's a threat, man, and it's something that we need.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: We need not just him to be able to do that.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But went on some of the other reps that, I mean,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: he's run a lot of routes out here that made
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: me weren't getting targeted to him that he's won as well,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that I've been pleased with. So it's just I think
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it brings everybody up. It elevates everybody's game when when
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: BT is playing at his highest level.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: We didn't get to talk to you yesterday, but what
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: did you think about Travis making his flash play.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: On both times? Yeah? That was good.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, just coming off of what he what he's
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: gone through to come out and make an impact fairly
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: early on right and for the first time probably since
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: we've sorry, since we've all been together, was like back
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to back, right, like making a play on offense, then
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: on defense, then back on offense.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: That was really just I think great for everybody.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: To see, not just you know, the fans and the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: exposure all that, that's great. That's more just for his
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: confidence and his comfort level getting back out on the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: grass with his teammates competing and for them to all
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: see him compete like that.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I know, you could talk the receivers all day.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, supply and the talent level you're finding out with
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: each of these practice.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: It's something new about them and something supplies you.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Know.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I think we're at a point where we are getting
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to know each other more. I mean today, Uh, Jacoby
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: had a really good one on one fade down the sideline,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and so it's like, okay, he want We got to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: get him going more on some of those vertical routes
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and not just you know, keep limiting his tree to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: some of those inbreakers that we all know that he's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: really good at. We've got to make sure that we're
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: giving him complimentary cuts, whether it's out or vertical, so
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that he can Uh, you know, when you're playing the game,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: within the game, you're not feeling like people are leaning
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: on you one way or another based on your strength
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: or your weaknesses. So yeah, we are learning stuff about
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: these guys on a day to day basis. And you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: just what I've been pleased is with and I told
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: them this before we got going, was we threw the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: ball a lot in the spring. That was the intent,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that was what we were trying to do. And I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: told them, Man, there's gonna be a little bit less
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: targets to go around in training camp because like in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the team run, we're gonna run.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: At three out of four plays, so you're just limiting
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the amount of reps. I think what they've done.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Is is maximize the reps that they're getting and being
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: very intentional about the connection and chemistry that they have.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: No go ahead, finish finishing.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Back to.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Stick specifically in the wrong games with specifically intentionally.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the combination, just being thicker on combinations a little bit.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Sometimes based on the scheme, sometimes the line will think
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: they have to maybe get on an angle because of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: where the ball is going, like say it's outside zone,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: they feel like they just have to run because it's outside.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Well, no, let's let's take care of the down.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: First and be a little bit thicker through combinations. So
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that we're moving the line of scrimmage. I think that's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: something that we've been very intentional about, whether it's with
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: wide zone, mid zone duo, that those are the only
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: three plays we have in right now, just being more
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: intentional about like chipping on our combinations and being a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: little bit more vertical so that we're not just running
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: all right sideline the sideline and getting thinned out on
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the you know, at the line of scrimmage and the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: point of attack. So I think that that's something that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: those guys have worked diligently on since the spring, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: once you're getting a training camp be able to see
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it a little bit more. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've actually
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: been pleased with him running routes that like, yeah, he
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't get a target on or he's not the primary
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: route runner on, he's gonna be more than fine in
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: terms of of like what he's going to be able
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to do, whether it's targeting him or not fitting in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the progressions and being there. You know, I'm going to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: be He'll be more than fine with us being able
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to go whether he's in an eleven or twelve and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: he's the why and he's opposite Brennon or whatever it is,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and you're able to be able.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: To mix those things up.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I'm more than pleased with what he's able to do.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: From a route tree standpoint.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Our last offseason was about finding your edge. This offseason,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: it's about attacking that edge.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now that you can acknowledge that there's an edge
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: present as that helpful the intentionality and the pluidity of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: these practice periods.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: So that's right.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it's a lot more. You know, like I
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: said last year when we scripted practices, like I would
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: just script the offense, camp he would script the defense and.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Let's just roll the ball out and go play.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I think this training camp we've been much more intentional
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: about making sure that we offensively, especially with the one
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: over with maybe two D like me asking for some
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: specific fronts, getting the runs off of you know where
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: we would have the intent to do that right, and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: so you're not just walking out days one through four
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and running a run that you would never run against.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe that look, now, you don't want to go too
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: far that way because then you're taking away the element
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of just playing football, But you know, hey, let's get
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit more looks at running out of three
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: or a shade or a versus single, whatever it is.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I think we've done a nice job as coaches and
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the players following suit of being intentional about the way
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: we script practice.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think we all noticed when Jay Love's
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: out there in terms of like just the communication, the confidence,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: his ability to get everybody on the same page. He's feisty,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: he brings a mentality and toughness. He had a rep
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the other day in the run game where a tight
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: end was trying to block him.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I frigeout which one and you know, he.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Locked shed made the play, And he just brings a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: mentality and toughness to our defense.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: There's some things in the in the run game specifically
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that we've you know, maybe looked at throughout the offseason
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: from some of the teams that we studied that we
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: are experimenting with right now.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Defensively, there's some disguises and things that we're experimenting.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: With as well.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And then in the past game, there's been a few
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: concepts that we've already installed that maybe weren't a priority
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: last year that we maybe ended up gravitating towards or
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: like hey, maybe that fits as a really good compliment
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to what we've done well. So, yeah, this is not
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the exact same install as training camp last year by
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: any means.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I think there's so much more in.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Right now, especially with the first group, and we've definitely
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: experimented with some schemes and concepts and some fundamentals that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: when you watch the off season, you self scout yourself
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and then you look around the league, and we do
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that exactly back to back. So like when we watch
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: all of our wide zones, we watched let's call it
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: one hundred of them, directly underneath are the top let's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: call it three to five teams around the league that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: we felt like ran wide zone the best, and then
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: they're cut up and exactly underneath that as well. So
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: it's like you get to see you and you get
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to see the best that are doing that exact concept.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: So, whether it's scheme truly the.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Concept or a fundamental you know of how they're doing it, well,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Hey does that fit us? And we're trying some of
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: those things now?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Upale, Oh wait are we I'm not sure? What
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: did he say? Do we? I'm not sure?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: No, I I mean maybe it's maybe it's weight loss challenge.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I I mean, I think he's trying to cut down
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but he's strong man.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I mean getting the weight room. That dude can push
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: some weight.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: He likes to show all you know where like this
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: cutoff sleeves. I can't quite do that, but yeah, I
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: mean I think he's trying. We're trying to get in
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the weight room a little bit more together.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Anything else, guys, good? All good, alright, appreciate it, guys.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Alright, alright, join her. So obviously you missed the whole
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: offseason program. Just how's it felt being back on the
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: field for the person.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: In five days?
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: I can't uh, you know, just getting my feet up
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: under me. It's it's been kind of weird, you know
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: when you don't play football, especially when you have a
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: new defensive coach, uh, defensive back coach, and you know
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: he's very technical, so just making sure that we get
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: everything an individual right, still messing it up, but you know,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I'm just keep dropping away at it, trying to get
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: better at it, you know, and and and continue to
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: get better, you know, get with my foot in and
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: stuff like that.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: How do you feel in terms of help, obviously.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Are you a lot of times that Yeah, I feel good.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: It's just about trusting it, you know, trusting the way
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: I break, Trusting the way I you know process, going
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: out there and playing, just getting those faculties back, getting
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: that feel back, that instinct back, and you know, putting it,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: you know, a consistent camp together. Just being healthy, That's
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: really what I wanna focus on it and doing the
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: technique right and and being out here to to put
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: my best foot forward for the team House season number
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: two com Erica Ward and then the Fish team. Yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: what you've seen, Yeah, the it's the growth. Honestly, Uh,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: we got a we had a lot of young guys
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: have to step up and uh, you know, go out
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: there and play. But you know, just the growth that
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: they have, you know, stepping into the the system and
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: understanding what they want, what what the coaches want from 'em.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Uh s schematic wise, and you know, you know f physically,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Uh going out there and performing and I feel like,
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: you know, we just building all what we did last
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: year and uh we have you know, the the the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: right staff and the right guys to go out there
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: and and and compete with anybody in and in and
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: go out there and win a lot of games. So
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: uh it it feels good to be in the system,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: uh consistently consistently since you know, I haven't been in
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: the same system since two thousand twenty three, So I
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: know how these young guys feel, you know, I know
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: they excited to be in the same system and and
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: and have the right guys around 'em, uh to make
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: sure that they flourish and and and and and get better.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Jorian Jones, is that a very promising offense? That don
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: bar being a season better in what elements of your
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: game or your experience or just like you've been passing.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: On to Jorgs. Uh, just the the mental aspect of it,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: being able to continue to to to perform like that,
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: cause he has all the physical tools and and the
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: techniques to be the great well be a great player, uh,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: which he is.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: He's already a great player.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: But you know it's just that that next step, you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: mentally getting you know, locking in and and and and
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: just being consistent and not worrying about you know, anybody

• 17:31
  Speaker 4: of the best.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Man.

• 17:34
  Speaker 4: he's always you know, putting in. He's always been a
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: hard worker. But it's you know, his growth with you know,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: his confidence that you know, I'm really impressed with.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Before you got here, just qum one at nine tables
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: last year.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: You almost had two A games.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: At what point did you know that that was already
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: gonna change? And is it about being in.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: The right position or are there other things?
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Uh, that's that's being cold. We're we're we're being close
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: to take the ball away, you know, high pointing the ball,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: making sure that the receiver can't make up catch er, uh,
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: make up play on the ball in the air. We
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: being coached to do that. Everything that you see, all
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: the turnovers, everything that we're doing, you know, being ball hungry.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: That's getting coached. And uh, we have the talent to
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: go out there and do it every single week, as
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: you saw last year. So when we came out here
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: OTA's last year, I knew, like, wow, we got some
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: guys that can go take the ball away.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Just like this year OTA's and training camp.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: You know, we just you know, got fine too some
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: of our our detailed things, but we had a talent
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: to take the ball away.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Is that kind of a thing for you guys here.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: It's so successful when you were last year on takeaways.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Just go to that next level, go five seven, the
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: world whatever.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: We wanna be the best. That's always striving to be
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: the best, being the best that we can be and uh,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: which I think it can be the best in the
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: in the league. So going out there and and having
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: our businesses, you know, going out there and being the best,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: and then if that's anything short of that, we didn't
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: have our business. So I think we can be the
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: best in the league at taking the ball away and
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: being one of the best defenses, you know, statistically in
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: the league.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: The pass game going today? What did you think about
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: the intensity from the guys.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: It feel like we were overthinking, we were overthinking about it. Uh,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: you know, just you know, some of the detailed things
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: that we we did over the last few days kind
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: of slipped, especially me. I'm I'm just you know a
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: lot of times I'm talking from my perspective as a leader.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: I I it it's it just slipped this year. I
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: mean it slipped today. And you can see that going
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: through all of the guys, you know, from you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: the younger to the older guys. You know, I gotta
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: bring that that that that discipline that you know, that
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: intentionality to to our practices. So it was just like
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: I said, the intentionality of you know, being detailed. It
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: was just all we we got passed on. Let's go ahead,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: let's go get our hands on instead of just being
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: on our details. For sure, no problem, thank you, thank you,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: No right, y'all,
