00:00I'm excited about our planning defensively,
00:03the meetings that we've had.
00:06I'm excited about our personnel.
00:08I like the fact that if you look at us up front,
00:12we have disruptive people
00:14that are gonna be difficult to deal with.
00:16We have speed, the best speed we've had at linebacker,
00:20and actually size.
00:22The two starters, Brandon Hill and Shaka Hayward,
00:25both, I mean, they can fly,
00:28and they're big 6'3 rangey guys.
00:32With Mark Gilbert returning,
00:33and he practiced well in the spring,
00:35I have no reason to believe
00:37that he's not gonna start well this fall.
00:40I think it'll be the best secondary group that we've had,
00:44quite possibly the deepest.
00:46So we're gonna be an aggressive defensive football team.
00:51I like what our coaches have put together.
00:54I like the fact that we've been able to have Zoom meetings.
00:58We've got a lot of our install done.
01:01Our players have retained well.
01:02They've been really into it.
01:05I'm excited about that side of the ball.
