00:00 I saw Asa Turner get on here.

00:02 Does he have any chance of playing in the postseason?

00:05 And if not, is there a chance he can come back next year?

00:08 Yeah, yes.

00:09 We feel as though we can.

00:10 And the one thing about Asa and a lot of the guys,

00:12 a lot of those gentlemen are day to day.

00:14 And they're doing everything they

00:15 can to get back as soon as they can.

00:18 They haven't quote unquote, "thrown anything away."

00:21 And when they're available, we'll be using them.

00:24 So all those options are open, like even next year?

00:26 Because he's only played a handful of games.

00:29 Yeah, and I think some of those, it may be in his court,

00:31 what he wants to be able to do.

00:35 Was that the best game you've seen McCall Esteen play?

00:39 Yeah, from a production standpoint, yes.

00:42 One thing that he has been, he has been very consistent.

00:45 And on our end, we think he is probably

00:48 one of the smartest football players in the building.

00:52 He really understands the game of football

00:55 and understands the spaces and the people around him

00:57 and what all the other guys are doing around them.

00:59 So he's always going to be able to put himself in position

01:02 to be able to make plays.

01:04 And we've been really, really pleased with his growth,

01:07 with him really embracing his role.

01:09 Because it's been some games you're going to play a lot.

01:11 Some games you're going to play minimal.

01:12 Sometimes you're going to play special teams.

01:14 And he's really addressed it with a smiling face,

01:18 saying, what do I have to do to help our team win?

01:20 And that's exactly the kind of young men

01:22 you want on your football team.
