00:00 - It was playing really well.
00:01 You know, it was somewhat of a luxury, man.
00:04 We thought we had three really capable inside linebackers
00:08 that we were dividing the labor up
00:10 among two positions among three capable guys.
00:13 And that's a really good thing.
00:15 We have an opportunity to do that.
00:17 You really can specialize and allow guys week in
00:20 and week out to do the things that they do best.
00:24 They can remain fresher.
00:25 And so it was a pleasure to have that collective
00:30 talking about Cole and Elandon and Quan.
00:33 Now we simply got two guys for two spots.
00:37 And so it's more of a traditional rotation.
00:40 Obviously it could create more opportunity
00:42 for a guy like Mark Robinson in his second year,
00:45 but he's not gonna get the type of,
00:47 you know, involvement that Cole had.
00:49 And so what we had was a luxury.
00:52 What we have now is probably more
00:54 of a traditional divisional labor at the inside linebacker position.
