0:48.7

So we'll get started with Sonic and Knuckles.

0:52.7

You guys know them best as Jemir Gibbs and David Montgomery. They definitely know them best as Sonic and Knuckles. You guys know them best as Jemir Gibbs and David Montgomery.

0:56.2

They definitely know them best as Sonic and Knuckles. I'm pretty sure that's all. Yeah, I'm pretty

0:59.8

sure that's all that everyone knows them as. But we will start with Jemir Gibbs, who's coming in.

1:05.7

I believe this is season number three for Jemir in the backfield and obviously looking for a lot of big things

1:12.0

from him. So here is Jemir Gibbs on the Big 1050 WTKA.

1:17.9

Jemir, it's early, but what's your sense of the offense so far as you guys are transitioning

1:23.1

from Ben and John? Are there a lot of similarities or a lot of different levels now?

1:28.3

I mean, a lot of stuff is the same. Some stuff obviously going to change. But, I mean, it's good so far. So that's all I'm saying, yeah. So you think this sets you up for an even bigger year? You had a big year last year, but even bigger one. Is your role expanding more? Yeah, I mean, whatever they want me to do, I mean, I'm willing to do it just, I mean, I just want to win the Super Bowl ultimately. So, I mean, they told me that I'm, you know, line back safety some this year. So I'll be doing that a little nickel.

So, I mean, pretty much everything's going to be the same. So I'm not really worried about it too much. I'm confident in them. And I got trust trust in him so I think it's going to be fine. Is take giving the sense right now that he is a rookie at center how is he thinking enough right now? You know some stuff is obviously going to be shaking like you know different snap counts and stuff like snapping the ball but other than that you know he's doing great you know I've school. He's always had that dog mentality in him, so I can't wait to see him this year.

2:39.0

Is the playbook much different as far as, I mean, the verbiage or how John calls the plays?

2:45.7

What's the difference between him and Ben so far?

2:50.5

I mean, I mean, they was here at the same time a couple years ago, so I mean, it's not a lot that's changed, but, I mean, like I said, a little tweaks here and there, but it's good. What stands out about him then? His energy. He's always, you know, a high-energy guy, always, you know, he's funny, he's funny, he's funny.
