00:00Lummi, first thing I would tell you about Lummi, and you know, every player he would,
00:06you could expect him to be really irritated about sitting out and he was so positive.
00:13I think I was more irritated than he was.
00:16So positive, so energized all week long, and he's missed some other time with injury.
00:24I think Lummi is just one of those examples of what we're talking about.
00:28It's coming into his own.
00:30It's his time on a developmental program like we are, it's his time to take that next step.
00:38It's his season to take that next step, and what I love about it, he's physically worked
00:43really hard.
00:44He had an off-season surgery that has been successful.
00:47He's worked really hard to get back where he is, and I think it goes back to what we're
00:52talking about.
00:53You start reaping the benefits of good preparation, and even knowing he was going to miss the
00:59first half last week, his practice was outstanding.
01:04He was ready.
01:06Our coaches had to use him properly because they had to have other people ready, but I
01:10thought his practices displayed what you saw in the second half of that game.
