That's what I would say about us, Logan. We do like pals. Pals are bros. Just be a friend and hook your boys. That's what we're looking for here on Take to Man. So by by week's looming. There is no game to look forward to. Generally, the rhythm of the week is that you would have watched the tape of the upcoming opponent and we'll break them down in detail today. But because there is no opponent and the boys are into the by week, we figured we would break down the draft classes of the last couple of years, one of the big talking points this season when you've got a new regime.

How are the kids fairing?

How is the Adam Peters scouting crew doing?

So we'll talk about that today on Take Command.

But quickly, I did want to ask you just as a bi-week guy, were you a stay home, rest up, like lay around the house? Did you ever take a vacay or go away with the wife? And how common is that? What do players typically do? Yeah, so I remember my first couple years in the league, like I go back to California, see my family, see my wife's family for a couple days. And that was always nice to kind of reconnect and get away for a little bit and you know I'd work out while I was there and go run routes to the field and just be a total psycho but and then as I got older and I was in Chicago San Francisco

Atlanta Houston I would take the by week as an opportunity to come home and see the kids.

So, you know, get four or five days off, take a flight, come say hi, go back because I was

family had stayed here.

And yeah, so it just kind of different points in my career.

It was used for different things, but most times kind of getting with family.

And, you know, I will say like most guys are pretty beat up and tired at this point of the year. So, you know, like maybe they'll take a vacation, but it's nothing crazy. It's not like going out and going crazy parting or anything like that. Usually it's just kind of take a breath, refocus, and try to get these the back nine of the season locked up.

If you were to take a handful of days off, is it noticeable when you get back to the facility in terms of like what kind of shape you're in or running around at practice?

Or is it not enough time for that?
