ready all right good all right coach uh we at the point in the year now as we get ready get closer towards TCU where reps are starting to get kind of divied up more amongst the the guys who you think are going to factor yeah yeah absolutely so this is kind of our last day of camp where we're just really focused on uh installation and competition get our guys better and now we start to focus uh more on TCU so you're right are getting more more focused in to guys that we think are going to be playing against TCU just kind of in general kind of how's the team kind of feeling knowing that game week is I think it's next week just kind of how's the team kind of fing with this season coming up so fast yeah I think you know they they get tired of going against each other and so they're kind of at that point they're doing a good job but they definitely want to play somebody else so um was been a great Camp we've done done a great job of staying healthy and taking care of each other and getting better and we're ready to focusing on and play somebody what do you feel like you've learned about your team over well we're deeper team than we were last year for sure um we just got a lot more experienced guys have played and then we got younger guys that are here to that can give supporting roles and and make an impact um so I feel a lot better about our dep just at the running back position just kind of how set do you feel that position is in terms of kind of depth chart order or are you planning on kind of rotating different guys in yeah we'll probably you know first game we'll probably play a number of guys and kind of see how it sorts out but uh for sure the the young guys are are in the mix for sure seems like every practice we've had so far it's been guys making plays in The Red Zone on both offense and defense how tough is that for you as an offensive-minded coach to see the defense making some big plays down yeah when you're you know calling plays and you're running the offense you want to be successful on offense but then when you watch the tape and you're like wow that's good job on defense we're impr proving so it's always that way you know especially as a head coach if the offense is doing really well you know you in the back of your head worry about the defense and if your defense is doing really well you're worried a little bit about your offense so that's just kind of n nature of it but this has been a camp where it's been good competition back and forth not one side of the ball has has dominated any stretch of the imagination it's been good competition are there any other units like the running backs where the two deep could be settled in season that's a great question um you know we got a couple of uh spots on the offensive line that that are still competing um some wide receiver positions I think you know there's whether it's a starting role or the first guy in there's definitely competition still going on see you know Braden Marcel oinka out there at the first team defensive line just kind of what what's he talk about his growth and what you've seen out of him he he's had a great Spring football in Fall Camp he's got a great motor uh he's really slippery tough to block um really good with his hands gets his hands on a lot of passes and uh he's he's going to be good for us this year any up on the quarterback situation no not yet good competition they're all they're all playing well so I feel I feel good about you know got three main guys that are competing and and they all look really good awesome talk oh go ahead yeah I just thought EMT Kenny kind of talk about you K's progression what we seen from him as a kicker how's he kind of coming along yeah yeah he's been more consistent obviously you know that position is about doing it in the in the game in the stadium with with the crowd and against opponent and uh I know he's excited for his opportunity but he's had a good camp for sure let me close it up with one as we now transition into preparation for TCU how does that change the way you guys are approaching practice out there yeah so we we will do more scout team stuff so we won't spend is you know everything has been against the defense so and in our defensive uh you know strategy and philosophy now we'll start to do some Scouts where we're working against what we what we expect TCU to do you never know in the first game um and we'll do a little crossover work with the defense just to get really fast looks but uh it'll transition to more TC you looks great thank you C appreciate it
