00:00 That's probably the most important question.
00:02 This is the third year of a three year plan.
00:05 And I think what I see that I like a lot is Coach Smith and Terry Fontenot.
00:15 Laid out a very careful, thoughtful,
00:21 kind of methodical plan what they were gonna do with the roster going back
00:26 seven years now, and I think they've been very disciplined.
00:31 Many adjustments along the way,
00:32 but basically they're very disciplined about moving in that direction.
00:35 And I recognize a couple of years ago, win seven games, or set or lose ten.
00:41 But I mean, I think we're moving in the right direction.
00:43 This year, I expect our team to be even more competitive, if you will,
00:50 with the emphasis on the defensive side of the ball during free agency and
00:54 somewhat during the draft, but primarily free agency.
00:56 And I think we have as many offensive tools as
00:59 probably most, if any, team in the NFL today.
01:05 We got a lot of talent, but obviously experienced offensive line and
01:09 perform at a high level last year, and third most rushes in the league.
01:13 And so I like where we are, and I like a young quarterback.
