But just from your standpoint, what is the impact of losing a guy like Tay? And how important has Luke been just in helping this defense throughout his career going back to last year, but certainly now that he's starting alongside you?

Yeah, you know, losing Tay is definitely devastating.

He will be back, and, you know, but going into every season, you know, you kind of always have to keep in the back of your mind that there will be guys throughout the season that get an opportunity, and Luke has always been a guy that we knew was going to get an opportunity, whether if everybody was healthy or not, and, you know, that's just a testament to how hard he works and, you know, how he takes every opportunity he gets, you know, not for granted.

And, you know, having Luke out there, he's another veteran guy that came in with, you know, with me.

We're seniors now.

And, you know, he works really hard and he's been prepared for this opportunity in his moment.

Was there sort of a difference in the way you prepared for the season, having the same coach back-to-back seasons versus last year when you were still figuring out each other maybe?

I want to say it's a different approach.
