| 0:19.2 | This is, listen, it's May, but damn, that was fun. |
| 0:22.4 | It's May, but that was awesome. It's just fun being back around football. You're seeing them line up at 11 on 11. We're starting to get a feel for what David Blow is going to do. We get a feel for Dorante Jones is going to do. It was awesome seeing Jaden out there whipping the ball around. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, absolutely. Belway Football brought to you by Horsman Automotive of Virginia. |
| 0:39.2 | We love those guys. We bought between the two of us, like seven cars there. |
| 0:43.2 | Keep going back for a reason. They take great care of us. |
| 0:46.4 | Let's start with kind of we each had our biggest thing we were watching. |
| 0:50.1 | Let's start actually with a little celebratory note, I suppose. |
| 0:59.0 | We don't know exactly because some guys might have been in the building, but damn near perfect attendance. |

| 1:38.7 | Jaden and Blow? I think that's what folks want to hear about. So the 11 on 11s with the offense out there, I thought the tempo, the pace was so fast and just, it was good to see that. |
| 1:51.9 | At this stage of what is still an install, they're able to go that quick. |
