I'll have a story up soon about the commander's versatility in the past rush and how, really, basically how free agency has helped the versatility in the past rush and why that basically how free agency has helped the versatility

0:38.6

in the past rush and why that's important how it looks etc etc etc some of which i'm going to be

0:43.0

talking about in a minute as part of my five thoughts because i kind of think it's important and it's

0:48.1

very beneficial to what this team hopes to do so before i get there i really don't have a whole lot to say

0:53.2

i'll be back on Monday

0:54.5

1:00.0

you know, we know what's coming up. The uniforms are in what, April 15th. So, you know, there's not a

1:05.7
