Intensity definitely goes up for sure. But up front, we can, we've been kind of banging since day one. So, but it's definitely the intensity goes up and get a real feel of where you are as a player for sure. Where are you? I'm feeling good. I'm feeling pretty good. Uh taking her one day at a time, one thing at a time, but I'm feeling good. It's been a while since you feels good, man. I, I tell you the pain is one thing but the, the feeling of not being out there, I don't know, feeling like you almost got it easy because you're not out there with the guys going through it every day is uh frustrating. And so to feel like I'm really one of the guys going in, day in and day out has been, uh uh really refreshing good, good. He's obviously a veteran player. I played a lot of ball, seen a lot of balls, so it's good to hear how he sees things and uh just kind of developing that relationship with our communication and everything. It's a work in progress, but he's a heck of a player. Uh I was told by the pr guys that we haven't officially announced that. But hypothetically if that did happen, I would be super happy for Taylor because he's, he's as good as it gets. And it's been such a blessing throughout my whole career if that did happen with Taylor. Yeah, 100%. I mean, me and him have been through, uh, a good amount of things and it's, uh, it's been, uh, it's been quite the ride with him and uh I mean, he's been my guy since day one and I'm so, so, so, so grateful to have him as a teammate and friend. The uh the defense hasn't intercepted the pass yet due to the first couple of trains, you just feel like, oh no, we got a lot to clean up. We uh we got a lot we can get better at. Um There's a long list, there's so many things we can improve at. We got a long ways to go. Well, I mean, I've been blessed to have Hank my whole career, which has been, I I've said it multiple times, but just the biggest blessing ever. He's uh a heck of a coach and the fact that he played center in this league for such a long time, he's been such a blessing. But to be with Ben, be with coach Campbell, all those guys has been so, so, so huge for that continuity and it's just been great continuity continuity. Jee Yeah, it's been, it's been a fun battle for big broad. Um, he's a big, strong explosive guy and he's just got to keep pushing every single day, but he's definitely getting me better for sure. Say that again, they all seem to be, I think that new coach has been great for them and, uh, they all seem to be a little bit more twitchy, a little bit more dynamic, I think, playing and less thinking that's just from what I've seen, but they've all been really impressive 100%. I mean, that's a guy who I got a lot of respect for him because dealing with that back thing is no joke in real life, not even playing football and then playing football with that to come back and he's looked really good, really twitchy, strong explosive and just a great dude. So I'm happy for him. Pasco, he's strong explosive. I think he's one of those guys that can play on the edge, play on the inside and have make an impact on both and he's just a hard worker. So he, he's been good. Yeah, it's given me perspective. This stuff doesn't matter at the end of the day. Football really doesn't matter. He's all that matters. I'm just thinking about how I can make my guys around me better guys. Time for two more. Your reaction to deal out to play very well deserved. I mean, three dudes that just do everything the right way. Um all the same guys every single day, no matter the highs, no matter the lows, same dude, hard workers. Just, uh, I mean, I'm sure you guys have heard of a, just pillars of who we are. So very, very, very deserving. I think it means a lot to players, especially like those young guys coming in. They know that, hey, if I do what I'm supposed to do my job put in the work, get better every day. There's a chance I'll be rewarded. Yep. Thank you.
