00:00means now today was put everything together.
00:03And you gotta display what the guys have been working on.
00:06So I was really pleased with the attendance at the Walker Walk.
00:11That was pretty cool.
00:13Just the excitement, the energy coming into the stadium.
00:17I think the guys really, really liked that.
00:19I saw some smiles.
00:20They were excited, just proud overall of the effort.
00:24There was a lot of guys that played a lot of snaps all spring, not just today.
00:28Talking about eight, nine offensive linemen.
00:31They never complained.
00:32They just worked.
00:33I'm proud of Brendan.
00:35He made a decision to come back and
00:38then some of his buddies decided not to come back.
00:42But he still stuck with it and we had to do the best that he could.
00:45And I saw him just lead and grow as a leader and
00:49challenge himself to get better in the little things.
00:52So there's a lot to be proud of.
00:55Overall, I was pleased with just the organization.
00:59That was probably the biggest thing that I lost sleep over when you split the teams
01:02up and you got special teams and guys on all different special teams.
01:05You got guys running from sideline to sideline,
01:07putting pennies on to play for the other teams.
01:09There were a lot of moving parts and for the most part up there,
01:12up until the end, it was a really clean game.
01:14I thought the guys took pride in what I challenged them for.
01:17And so for me, today was just looking at the little things.
01:20Do I see the little things, as I said before,
01:22from a program standpoint with the effort?
01:25And I thought the effort was solid.
01:27There were times where I had to get on a couple guys, but that's to be said.
01:30And I told them at halftime, I wanted to see who was gonna stream.
01:33Cuz today the weather was up, there was a lot of snaps, it was competitive,
01:37coaches were off the field.
01:38There's a lot of moving parts, a lot of distractions.
01:41So I thought overall that just with the operation, it went about as good as it
01:46could have considering first time and everybody being split up.
