What I'm saying, 172 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 5: gaining that confidence throughout games, I think is gonna pay 173 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 5: pay dividends for us. 174 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: So it's gonna pay off. So just trying to stay consistent. 175 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 4: Saying he expects that Christian is out, thank you. He 176 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 4: expects Christian Zalez. 177 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 3: Might be back at practice today. What would it be 178 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 3: to the team to have him back? Out of you? Should? 179 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 5: That would be amazing, you know obviously though uh, you know, 180 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 5: it's one of our stars, especially you know from that 181 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 5: quarterback position. I feel like he plays a key roll 182 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 5: on the defense and he's definitely one of the captains 183 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 5: on this team. So, you know, I don't know, I 184 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 5: don't know too much of what he said or didn't say, 185 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 5: but I'm gonna tell you from personal if you, uh, 186 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 5: we would be super excited to have him back. Where 187 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 5: would you Where do you feel like the chemistry is 188 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 5: between you and Drake on pagas? 189 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: Uh should? 190 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 5: I don't know, like quarterback receiver getting over catching the ball. 191 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 5: You know, we had an early fourth down conversion. You know, 192 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 5: things like that to kind of keep a drive going. 193 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 5: I feel like, uh, you gained confidence with your quarterback, 194 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 5: you also put confidence on your head coach to be like, 195 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 5: all right, we can be a little aggressive here if 196 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 5: if you're. 197 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: Gonna execute at a high level.
