00:00But I think we all look at it as if we're trying to win games in that regard.
00:09I think, for Caleb, these are all learning experiences.
00:12And look, I know we all see sack numbers and
00:15we all just wanna put it on the offensive line.
00:16But there's an element of, A, receivers gotta run the right routes.
00:19We gotta be right where we're supposed to be,
00:21especially if there's a hot element to the play.
00:23Obviously, the O-line's gotta block it up correctly.
00:26Back's gotta be in the right spot.
00:27Tight end's gotta be alert to who's coming, who's not.
00:31Quarterback's gotta be on in terms of flipping protections and
00:34all those type of things.
00:35So there's a lot that goes into it than just maybe the offensive line component.
00:38And I think for Caleb and what I've talked to him, we've had our conversations.
00:43It's just more about when you look at the tape,
00:44there's obviously things going around you that you can't control.
00:47But always look at it and see where you could have gotten better on a play or
00:50what you could have done more of on a play.
00:52So that's kind of the challenge with that.
00:53But look, there's gonna be things that happen where he's gonna take some hits
00:57here and there, and that's unfortunate, but we gotta do as best we can as a group,
01:01helping him out in the protection aspect and helping him keep him protected.
01:05Yeah, I mean, I still think, though,
01:06there was some issues even with those performances we had.
01:08I know the score was what the score was, but when you looked at the film,
01:11there were still some things that we had to clean up.
01:12And I think that's kind of what's reared its ugly head here the past couple weeks.
01:16And so we just gotta work to get those things fixed up.
01:20I think what we had, though, in those two games,
01:22where we were able to make up some things,
01:23was with the explosives that we were able to get in the run and in the pass.
01:28So we need to get back to that, get more explosives in there.
01:30And that kind of helps and makes life a little bit easier.
