00:00 >> Well, it just gives you a little bit more freedom as a play caller.
00:03 I think it gives you opportunities to take some shots, take some chances when you
00:06 got good high trust value and guys being able to go one on one and
00:10 it opens up the call sheet.
00:12 >> How do you feel- >> Elijah had a big spring,
00:15 you guys were really high when coming off the ball.
00:17 Has he kind of built on that and maybe established himself too on the other side?
00:21 >> Yeah, I mean, he's grinding on it.
00:22 I think we're still catching up on some reps for him.
00:25 Mentally, he's been super sharp on things,
00:27 still working on some things technically, but he's had a consistent fall camp so far.
00:31 >> So who are the main guys with EJ there that are also on the mix on the other side?
00:37 >> Obviously, we've taken a look at a number of guys.
00:41 Darren Barkins has come in and he has flashed a little bit here for us early in
00:44 camp, Thaddeus Dixon had a really strong spring, has a little bumpy to start fall
00:50 camp, but has been much more consistent down the stretch here.
00:54 Really like some of the things that Leroy Bryant has done as a young player for us.
00:58 And then the exciting one for us is Devon Banks.
01:02 There's another guy that had started the game for us last year and
01:05 then we lost him kind of halfway through the season.
01:08 And we didn't have him for spring ball because he was coming off a shoulder
01:10 injury and now he's getting his full load of reps again.
01:13 And he's a guy that's got game experience and
01:15 he's one of those guys that's not a new guy anymore.
