00:00 Are they gonna run the same stuff?
00:01 Are they gonna give us the same fronts?
00:02 Are they gonna show the same blitzes?
00:04 Yeah, because they might not be as good in that situation.
00:08 So I mean, we've been just preparing for everything, so to say.
00:12 Getting ready for anything they can throw at us, just be ready for them.
00:17 >> Well, for instance, I think it's your mic, right?
00:20 The all ACC guy, the linebacker,
00:22 he's probably the best guy on the defense, he's sitting out for the pros.
00:25 I mean, when you look, I'm sure it was probably a challenge figure, okay,
00:28 how am I gonna get to this guy, but I don't have to worry about that.
00:31 >> Yeah, I mean, very true, we watched him on film, he's a really good player.
00:35 And to see him, 17's his backup, so he had a little bit of film.
00:40 So I mean, that's what's also hard too, there's not much film.
00:43 >> Not sample size, yeah.
00:44 >> Right, so just, like I said, prepare for everything.
00:47 >> But you know they are pretty big up front.
00:49 >> Right. >> And so that,
00:50 probably in a way for you, you'd probably like that,
00:53 because you don't have those small quick guys you've gotta try to get your hands
00:55 on, so at least you've got a bigger target, right?
00:58 >> Yeah, you got a little bit of bigger target, but
00:59 I mean, they have a talented D line.
01:01 I mean, they're nothing to mess around with.
01:05 >> And they're in tact.
01:06 >> Yes.
01:06 >> Yes, what you see there is what you're gonna get.
01:08 >> Right.
01:09 >> Yeah.
01:10 >> You mentioned you don't have a ton of film.
01:12 How different is that from a usual week to week game?
01:16 You do have a lot of film, you know who you're playing against.
01:18 Now you've got a long layoff between games with a lot of unknowns.
01:21 >> Yeah, I mean, it's basically the same thing if a player would go down or
01:25 get injured, the game before.
01:28 You might not have much film, but you use what you can.
01:31 You see his tendencies, if he has any.
01:34 But I mean, he's played a little bit, but I mean, it's just hard to,
01:40 like I said, you just gotta predict, see if they'll run the same stuff.
01:45 >> Some ways, kinda like an opener, I mean, when you talk about,
01:48 probably feel fresh again, your body's, you're not like you were in the Baylor
01:52 game where you're all beat down after a long season.
01:54 So is there that freshness a little bit?
01:56 >> Yeah, for sure, especially with the two ankle injuries I was working through
02:00 pretty much the entire season.
02:02 Finally got some time to really work through them, rehab them, and
02:07 really get them back to full strength.
02:09 And this is the best I've felt in a long time.
