0:49.9	I'm going to ask you about the defense, Greg.
0:52.4	And I want to ask you about it.
0:54.1	He's an impending free agent re-blanketship. And I want to ask you about a, he's an impending
0:54.7	free agent re-blankenship. So I want to ask you this. I was pretty impressed with Marcus Epps,
0:59.9	the last, you know, obviously six weeks of the season that he's played exclusively.
1:05.5	If they lose re-blanketship, do you think it's just out of balance that Marcus Epps takes

1:59.9	But, you know, in the defense of, in the Vic Fangio
2:03.9	defense where there's literally an adjustment on every single play based on what the offense is
2:09.3	showing you, Blankenship is the conductor. And I don't think he'd be easy to replace. Now, I can't
