00:02 - Depends on what factors are in it,
00:08 but in my mind right now,
00:11 I'm gonna take this all the way to April.
00:13 If that's the direction that it plays out,
00:14 I think there's enough support to continue to rise up
00:19 and have a young quarterback.
00:20 Obviously, when you look at bringing in a staff,
00:24 that development plan's gonna be critical.
00:26 - I think you look at the person, right?
00:28 And then the production.
00:29 And then his traits.
00:31 You make a good decision from there.
00:35 Looking at all options.
00:37 It's important.
00:39 It would be, if that did happen,
00:41 that would be cool for those guys to grow together.
00:43 But again, that's one option,
00:45 and we have several options available to us.
00:47 - Follow him up, just follow time.
00:47 You can never have enough pass rushers
00:49 and never enough corners.
00:50 So we're just gonna keep bringing 'em in.
00:52 So we have something there available to us.
00:54 We love our players that are currently on our roster,
00:57 for sure.
00:58 They've done a really good job.
00:59 D-line really played well this year, for sure.
01:02 But we're always looking to enhance that, for sure.
01:04 - Josh.
01:05 - Yeah, I know it didn't go exactly the way
01:12 that he wanted to.
01:13 Just kinda being dinged up a little bit there.
01:15 But I thought where his impact is,
01:18 is really with Brisker.
01:20 The communication on the back end.
01:22 When Eddie was in, you could tell Brisker
01:24 felt really, really comfortable.
01:26 Really, that whole group.
01:27 He really impacts the communication,
01:29 and you can see that.
01:30 Like I told a lot of the guys that are free agents,
01:33 we'll be in contact with them in terms of our direction.
01:36 There's different buckets.
01:37 There's guys that are gonna have to go test the market
01:39 and kinda see what's out there for 'em,
01:40 and maybe they circle back.
01:41 But yeah, I know Mooney wishes he played
01:45 a little bit better this year,
01:46 and things went better for him,
01:48 and made some more connections.
01:50 But I know he's gonna bounce back
01:53 and have a really good career.
