All right, Trev.

0:17.8

Let's jump into show number two.

0:21.1

And let's move the conversation to what we would like to see changed or, you know, not necessarily change, but, you know, changes that we would like to see on the defensive side of the football.

0:34.7

And, you know, I want you to be able to set this up because you kind of talked about

0:40.5

it a little bit at the beginning of the show but i want you to be able to set this show up and

0:44.5

kind of the direction that we're going to head in it uh because there are some people out there

0:51.3

that are going to take it from a little bit too broad,

0:56.1

a little bit too easy of a way to go about things.

1:00.8

And so, you know, I want you to set up how this show is going to look and kind of what we're
