So how do you feel like this unit is gelling right now?

Man, it, it's coming along well.

Last, last Saturday in the scrimmage we had a lot of drives with just one group of, of five players.

Starting to feel really comfortable with everybody.

And I mean, it's, it helps that we've played a lot of football together already.

We've had multiple fall camps, multiple spring balls with these guys, so the chemistry's for sure there.

And it, it helps because you're able to mix up your calls a little bit, 'cause, you know, after you go against the same defense so many days in a row, they start to pick up on your calls.

Like, we've really focused on this thing.

There's no group like the O-line that has to work as a unit, so how do you feel like this unit is gelling right now?

Why do you feel like your group can get it done again at a high level?

Like I said earlier, like, we've had a l- like, nobody's gonna go out there September 5th, and that's gonna be their first snap of college football.

I don't know what five we're gonna have starting, but everybody who goes out there will have played college football before.

I, I think that's a superpower in itself, just having so much experience.

And yeah, those guys were great pieces, um, but nobody's irreplaceable.

When I'm gone, I'm gonna be re- replaceable, and hopefully whoever replaces me is better than me.

Um, you know, so it, it...

Uh, you said it, your offensive line ha- has all experienced high-level college football, but of those guys up front, who, who has impressed you with, uh, the way that they have evolved and improved their game this past off season?

guard? Do you like center? Where do you stand in that?

They both have their pros and cons.

I feel like I could play either or.

Obviously, I'm getting better at center.

I play that a lot more.

But yeah, it's...

They both have their it's hard to be a guard when you got a three tech and you're on an island and a one on one pass rush and you're going against a dude.

How would you describe right now the cohesion culture of your offensive line? What do you like about it?

... correct?

Yeah.

I've, I've said it plenty of times, man.

There's, there's times I've got defensive linemen in his face in the backfield, and he makes a jump cut and gets five yards when it should've been a TFL.

Um, and if you've seen how hard L.J. works, man, you'd wanna block your tail off for him too.

Like, that, that is a guy who wants it.

That's a guy who wants to be great, and you can see it in his off-season work and his in-season work.

What makes him special?

bruce besides the bar scene what in particular work for you and then tell me like if you if you if they played this for you yesterday and they said all right off record what should we cut to make this better you don't get to say just call off the show or don't do the match if really you're just you're there to give some advice on what absolutely they should cut if they had to cut you know three or four things out of it what comes to mind

i would cut a whole segment out of it i would have cut And the segments I left, I would have would not had be so long.

That's a real that's a real inch by inch, you know, editing, you know, editing your writing kind of thing.

I mean, it really is.

And it's and part of it is you have to be brave enough.

And this is not something I'm very brave at, but it's like you have to be something that's a brave enough to go.

That's a clever turn of phrase.
