I mean, you know, 18 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: since since you've you know, didn't start the first two 19 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: games you've been on the field, the guards haven't missed anything. 20 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: John Michael missed a couple, uh lumn Or just missed one. 21 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: But you know, for the most part of your five 22 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: guys are playing every snap together. 23 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: And how important has that been? 24 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 4: It helps the time we have a a veteran group 25 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 4: and you know, getting more snaps together, just watching film, 26 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 4: getting more practice reps. I think it helps us. We 27 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 4: communicate a lot a lot better our combinations and you know, 28 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 4: passing off games and stuff like that. 29 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,639 Speaker 2: I think it's important you can. 30 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: Really tell that in games that you kind of you know, 31 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: maybe you know on the other side of the line, 32 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: there's not incredible physical superiority maybe with some of some 33 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: of your teammates, but that you guys know what to do, 34 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you know how to figure 35 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: it out and in the game if this is given 36 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: your problem.

I think we're physical upfront, 39 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 4: that we use good technique, and I would say we're 40 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 4: pretty athletic too. 41 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: Good.

I think the technique and the run 147 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 4: game fitting some things differently are identification with the front, 148 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 4: so I think that all that's gonna matter.
