00:00Yeah, he's made it through practice consistently since then.
00:04I'm still challenging him, getting talented, but
00:07gotta become more detail-oriented.
00:09And right now, if I had to, Ahmad's been out for a little bit with his knee.
00:14So Paris has actually been the guy that's been kind of trying to separate himself
00:20by doing the little things right.
00:22I anticipate that Mike's gonna turn it on because he's gonna see that
00:27the best guys will play.
00:29And I told the team and told Paris in front of the team that,
00:32if you want the job, go take the job.
00:34I don't care if you came here as a walk-on.
00:35If you're the best guy, then it's gonna be your job.
00:39And so hopefully that'll light a fire in Mike.
00:41We know we're gonna need Mike.
00:43I just need him to be his best.
00:44In order for us to establish the run, we gotta have multiple guys
00:50playing at a high level, not just one.
00:53So he's gonna feel it, Mike's gonna feel it, this guy,
00:57because he's just too talented not to perform for us at a high level.
