00:00 Offensively, we're going through some changes.
00:02 We got a new coordinator that I hope I don't have to fire.
00:05 But we'll see how that comes along.
00:08 But we're changing some things over there,
00:12 just to be quite honest with you.
00:14 But we've had that same advantage of meetings.
00:17 Had great coaches meetings via Zoom.
00:20 I was set up so well at my home.
00:23 I had a big screen, a projector.
00:26 I mean, we worked and worked and worked.
00:30 We've had meetings with the players.
00:32 We've been back in for two different weeks as a staff.
00:38 So I like where we are offensively.
00:40 We've got to answer a few questions.
00:42 We got competition up front.
00:44 All starts with Jack Walbaugh in the middle.
00:47 But I'm going to be interested to see.
00:48 We're looking at some different combinations
00:51 at guard and tackle, with Greg Fry being a new line coach.
00:56 And I'm loving every minute of his energy, creativity,
01:00 and enthusiasm.
01:02 We're going to be better there.
01:03 I think we got one of the best groups at tight end,
01:05 starting with Noah.
01:07 They're going to play different roles.
01:09 We're going to utilize that group differently.
01:12 I love our backs.
01:14 I wish we were a little healthier back there.
01:17 We got some young people, Marvin Hubbard and Jalen Coleman.
01:22 And so with that position, we need to stay healthy.
01:27 But we got some dynamic folks.
01:29 And then I like our receivers.
01:33 We're going to be relatively young there.
01:36 But we have some dynamic athletes.
01:40 And then I got to fix the quarterback thing.
01:43 And I know you all want to know, well,
01:45 what's Chase Bryce going to do?
01:46 I've never seen him throw the football in person yet.
01:49 So give me a little while.
01:52 I was kind of cutting up with our players.
01:54 You remember when you were a kid and you picked teams at school
01:58 and somebody wanted to be the all-time quarterback, right?
02:01 I mean, that was the best deal.
02:03 You can be the all--
02:04 who would let anybody--
02:07 the all-time quarterback has to throw it
02:09 better than everybody else.
02:11 Everybody asks me all the time, so what's
02:13 the first thing you look for in a quarterback?
02:15 Well, accuracy.
02:17 Otherwise, he's not a good quarterback, period.
02:20 So the all-time quarterback is going
02:22 to throw it better than everybody else.
02:23 So you can save yourself that question.
02:26 I've just told you how that works.
02:28 There are obviously other things that come into play with that.
