well i think it's it's been really good you know i think this team has really um embrace the structure or this level of structure that Coach Van Harbaugh has.
The one thing that, you know, I see a lot of people talking about the comments from Darius Slayton and, you know, saying that he didn't want to out any players or coaches because But there was a level of frustration at the leadership level of the Giants players where, you know, last year they just felt like there wasn't enough accountability.
that you should be winning, you're leading in the fourth quarter, you're losing by one point, or you got guys that are not paying attention to detail.
And the thing that I think is refreshing is to see guys embrace, hey, there's only one way to win, and that's for everybody to be accountable.
And I think that's what Darius Slayton was kind of alluding to is like, you know, we have one standard.
There could be different ways you deal with players as long as they are subscribing to that standard.
And, you know, you hear, you know, again, I'm Brian Dables, my friend, and I do believe he's a hell of a coach.
But you just heard that he was, you know, too friendly with some, not friendly enough with others.
And at every every level, every phase of his football teams have all been buttoned up.
And so they seem to be really embracing this aspect of wow, this is how football is really played.
So You hear the one thing that you heard consistently last year, the guys were tired of losing.
