00:00Starting offensive tackles back here. Yeah, it's it's huge right those guys have a lot of experience
00:04They have a lot is you know, Tevin's gonna be out. You guys saw that for that
00:08you know just couldn't get him through with the ankle and
00:11So he'll be out and we'll see what that goes for next week
00:15Got a lot of guys coming back though. It's just good on the line and you know and so forth
00:19Got some guys questionable. So we're positive about those guys for the game
00:23You guys saw that brisker went to IR, you know, and the question is why now, you know, we tried to
00:29Try to get him past the protocol
00:30We kept having setbacks and we just feel like it's best for us to take a step back and for him to it's always about
00:36the players
00:38health and safety and
00:40That's why we did it and it's huge right is those guys have a lot of experience. They have a lot of you know
00:46Continuities they're working with each other next to each other there. And so I think it's important that you have that and
00:53You know those guys have played well, you know darn else played well, you know Braxton's played well
00:57So he's got to make sure that you know the whole group, you know
01:00Five equals one there and plays all together during the course of the ball
01:03I thought Thomas did a really good job of bringing the guys together for this plan getting them ready to perform on Sunday
01:10Coaches and players. I really see a lot of collaboration between the groups and
01:16And again, that was it happened before but I didn't see it more and more this week guys tightening it up and getting together
01:22So, you know, I think it's you know after you have you know
01:24The weeks that we had we had three weeks where we didn't perform the way we wanted to and I think that it's a big
01:28Energy boost, you know, it's a boost a shot in the arm, and I really believe that the guys are working to perform
01:35Well, and that's evident on in the practice, you know, we had a real good fast Friday today working on the red zone
01:41But you can feel it all the way throughout the whole building
