It was tough. But 30 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: you know, we obviously have things that are promising, but 31 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 2: you know, at the end of the day, those things 32 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: don't matter. Who don't win games. So that's the main 33 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 2: go to win games, score points. 34 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 4: And just your assessment of where things sit, you know, 35 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 4: for the line, particularly when it comes to you to 36 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 4: the run. Obviously there's been a lot of moving parts 37 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 4: guys figuring things out. But what are your thoughts on 38 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 4: how the group's been able to try to keep things 39 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 4: together and allowing for production in the run and also 40 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 4: protecting Mac. 41 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think we're all taught the same things, 42 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: so we're all equipped with the same tools. So I 43 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: believe in everybody in the room and you know, whoever's 44 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: out there, they're doing their best. 45 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: Thanks and next question, Mark Daniels, good to see you again. 46 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: How big of a challenge you know was it this 47 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: offseason to you know, not be out there with the 48 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: team and then try to work your way back in. 49 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a big challenge. You know, this was 50 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 2: this was the first for me. You know, it's kind 51 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 2: of foreign territory. This was my first off season, well 52 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: first surgery, so you know, working back from that and 53 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: then just coming back being around a team when I 54 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 2: came back and you know, just watching practice, it was 55 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: kind of rough just watching and you know, want to 56 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: be out there, want to just run out there, be 57 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: on the field and all that.

You know, at 60 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 3: what point or how long do you think it'll take 61 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: you to get to full go or you know, one 62 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 3: hundred I don't know if anyone's ever one, but you know. 63 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: What I mean, Yeah, I mean I doubt anyone's ever 64 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. But you know, we're just going to 65 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: take a s left week by week and just increase 66 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: and see how it goes. 67 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: Thanks Michael.
