00:00 >> Right now we're happy with where we're at, we're not satisfied.

00:03 There's no question about that.

00:04 And I thought today we maybe were a little more choppy than we had been.

00:08 We had a couple pretty good days previously in practice and

00:11 give the defense some credit too.

00:13 They did some really good things today that made it challenging on us really,

00:15 to be honest with you.

00:16 But I'm happy with where they're at.

00:18 They're working so hard.

00:20 Their preparation is really what's gonna take them to the next level.

00:23 How hard they work at it, not only on the field, but in the classroom,

00:27 to really master the offense and get comfortable in the schemes and

00:30 that kind of thing.

00:31 And really to get in the head of the head coach, the play caller.

00:34 So they understand all the play calls and why coaches call in certain plays,

00:39 when it's time to get out of a play and get into a better play,

00:41 and making sure we're not wasting plays, that kind of thing.

00:43 But I'm pleased with it now, but definitely a work in progress,

00:49 I would say at this point, but we're getting there.

00:51 >> How much do you have to look into kind of understand who they are as a person,

00:54 that so we can translate to them as a play caller?

00:56 >> Yeah, I mean, that's a great question.

00:59 I mean, yeah, cuz everybody's a little different, right?

01:01 And we knew DeMond and Demarcus just from recruiting and played against Will.

01:07 But getting to know him the last few months and whatnot, it's been great.

01:12 And just kind of learning what each guy responds to,

01:15 whether that be in the classroom and how they learn.

01:18 Or play calls, things they like, things they're comfortable with,

01:21 and maybe they're not comfortable with.

01:22 So we're still again, it's a work in progress, we're nine practices into it.

01:28 But I would say this, I would say from practice one to practice nine, and

01:31 I think you guys can see it, how much growth we've made in a short amount of time.
