00:00Yeah, thank you for the health questions too. I'm all good. I feel good out here. I'm very happy to be back
00:06Yeah, I'd say we had a lot of zoom meetings. I said with coach cut coach Roper
00:09I'm a we did a lot of things that resemble a game and in the most way you possibly can online
00:15You know whether that's going through progressions
00:16I'm calling out a play for us and I was just going through it to them over zoom
00:20At home you kind of had to get resourceful
00:22I know a lot of guys had high school teammates that they threw with I got with you know
00:25My friend Thayer Thomas Noah Gray was in town a good amount to I was able to get with him
00:29I've seen it's kind of cleared up, you know being being as safe as we can with that
00:34But yeah, I think you just got it. You got to run you got to work out on your own
00:37And yeah, you just got to find you had to find motivation from somewhere else
00:40I'd say and it's showing the guys that did work out. I'd say it was it was good to see our tempo
00:46And with with referees out there as opposed to you know, just workers for a spot in the ball
00:51So it was good to see that, you know, we were kind of ahead of the chains
00:54Good to see live tackling good to see our backs work, you know, Jordan waters and Dion
00:59We're both very good backs for us
01:01And they looked good
01:03I'd say for me I think getting back to like a game type tempo was really good
01:08You know not having a script to look at but just going out there and kind of rolling with what you're called
01:12Through a touchdown that felt good, you know, it's been a while
01:15So yeah, I think just just getting back to a normal speed of a tempo of a game
01:18I think was really fun for a lot of us
01:20I think you know every single throw you have is very important. Every rep you have is very important
01:25You know, you have to have superior focus on every play you do you have to know what you're doing
01:28A lot of time has to go in the back end
01:31You can't hope for those type of guys to have a bad day, you know, Chris and Chase are both playing very well
01:36They're all division one quarterbacks, you know
01:38You can't sit there and hope they have a bad day and you have a better day
01:40You just have to bring your best every single day and they're doing the same
01:43So yeah, you just have to continue to make plays and you know stick to your game. I think it's the biggest thing
01:48Yeah, I think like I say tempo is something we've talked about a lot, you know getting the ball to really good players
01:54We have a really good, you know
01:56Up-and-coming receiving receiving corp that I think are making a lot of good plays for us
01:59Just getting the ball to them and giving them a chance on whether that's deep balls or anything
02:03Just letting them work and I think you know, just letting players be players, you know, not not overthinking it he's given us
02:08It's a very player friendly offense. He's given us a lot of room to a lot of room to work
02:13So I think you're gonna see a lot of really talented guys just play football
