00:00Okay, well, 104 plays today, and then special teams.
00:04So we got a lot of work done, which was good.
00:07We were able to see a lot of players.
00:09I think we saw everybody today out on the field in some way, shape, or form.
00:13Special teams, first, second, third, whatever it might have been.
00:16Got a lot of tackling in, which was important for
00:19us because we've been in soft shells, spiders the last two practices.
00:23Try to get as many guys back healthy as we can.
00:25Stayed healthy today, which is important in all scrimmages.
00:29And then give us a chance to keep getting after it and
00:32see if we can get better for next Saturday night.
00:34What happened to Zach Durfee?
00:37Zach's had an elbow situation that he has to, that we had to repair.
00:43So he's about a two month, I think he's out for about two months.
00:47He'll be back, we believe from what we were told,
00:50that he'll be fully cleared before the start of training camp.
00:53Coach, I know you're looking at leading up to next Friday and
00:57not quite the specifics, but what are you looking,
01:00what is the next week like in terms of how well are you sticking together?
01:03Well, it ends up we've got five practices left before we have our spring game.
01:08And we're not really looking to prepare for that Friday spring game as much as we
01:11are seeing can we get better at what we do, right?
01:15Our mantra is practice is everything.
01:19And everything we do has to do with practice.
01:21We've gotta compete in practice.
01:23We've gotta be great in fundamentals.
01:24We've gotta know how to do your job.
01:25We've gotta run to the ball.
01:28All the things that go into being a great football team.
01:30We're gonna be trying to work through the whole portal situation.
01:34We're gonna try to work through recruiting these next couple weeks.
01:36We're gonna try to make sure that every player on this roster continues to
01:39improve and get better.
01:40So we're just trying to look to have five great practices.
01:43How much impact has the offensive line or lack of bodies made in terms of
01:47installing the offense and getting a true assessment of what the offense can do?
01:51Yeah, when installing the offense, it hasn't slowed us down.
01:53We're installing the offense just like if we had 12 linemen.
01:56Most spring, you don't usually have more than 12 or 13 max.
02:00The goal by August 1st would be to have between 15 and 16 able bodies,
02:06healthy bodies to participate in all training camp.
02:09Probably 14 to 15 scholarship players, probably two to three walk-ons,
02:14probably so 18 players maybe.
02:15And that'll allow us to be able to go split fields.
02:19That's kind of the only thing we're lacking right now.
02:20We're not able to double up on our reps.
02:23So we're able to get everything done we wanna get done.
02:25We just can't get it done twice.
