All right, you know, thought guys came out, you know, good work day, you know, third down situations, a little two minute early to start practice. You're trying to, once again, you'll push as much speed on speed as we can. You know, really, I think that's something that's so important as you get to this time of year. Yes, I mean, our guys and we're going into our eighth game, I mean, there's some bumps, there's some bruises.

There's things that you had to deal with, but it's still about progress. year, yes, I mean, our guys and we're going into our eighth game, I mean, there's some bumps,

there's some bruises, there's things that you had to deal with, but it's still about progression. It's still about growth. You know, we talk about the work that's necessary, and that's what we're trying to continue to pour into. You know, but you know, there's some things we're not to clean up. just, you know, still comes down to the communication, the little things, the fundamentals,

and those things that have to clean up, just, you know, still comes down to the communication, the little things, the fundamentals.

And those things that have to build throughout the year, you know, obviously, as we talked about, you know, earlier in the week, I mean, this is a unique, you know, scheme that we're going to face defensively. And, you know, what they do, you know, offensively is as multiple is what we've seen. You've got to play with their eyes. You've got to play, you know,

and be confident in your fundamentals of what you're getting. And then, you know, you got to go out there and play fast and the best of your ability. But, you know, I thought our guys, you know, had a good day overall, but, you know, still some areas that We got to continue to improve.

How much does having experience on the roster,

especially on defense benefit you

when you play team like Wake,

Devon, something like unique? No, I mean, it's, it helps the guys that have seen it before, and I can understand, and kind of tell the guys that maybe that haven't, you know, what that you could look at, could look like, You know, but I mean, every year is going to be unique to itself. And, you know, maybe some of the things we're asking guys to do, some of the things will, you know, it will be unique to this year. And so ultimately, you know, that's always a part of it, but it is, it does help to have some experience in guys that have at least, you know, gone through and faced, you know, a little bit of this offense.

The response that Marcoson had, I think he may have missed a block on the fourth and one

on the next drive, came back, a couple of receptions, is for him to kind of...

Yeah, I mean, it's, let me, because that was kind of a statement on it at the beginning of it um but you know there

was there's a couple things on that play that should have been better and it wasn't just all on him

so uh but you know he is he's somebody that you know i'm seeing growth i'm seeing steps you know

this we tend to forget with marquist and you know coming out high school to play when you're

football um and the first year here he he was unavailable, you know,

just to be able to, uh, to do really anything physically. And, uh, you know, you sit there and you go through, um, you know, his growth, the production of what he's brought, um, you know, his brightest days are in front of him and you know I try to push him really hard

because you know I just believe so much in what, you know, he can become, but you see, you see the response. And I thought he played harder than what he's played, you know, just in blocking and, you know, a couple, couple good catches, you know, a couple, you know, impact plays. And so, you know, I like what, I like the progression I'm saying, but you still want more. And you said Jack and talked about trying to run in the, being able to run in obvious running situations. How, are you guys, do you feel like you guys are getting closer to being able to do that? I mean, it's absolutely, you want to be as efficient and productive in all situations. You know, when somebody knows you're going to run, let's go finish it. And whether it's at the end of the game or whether it's, you know, at some point, you know, throughout the game, you know, we've got to be able to have that as a mentality. You know, look, we're going to go get, we're going to go get it. And, you know, that's something that we're still working on. go get we're gonna go get it and you know

that's something that we're still working on you know you get different looks you get

you know different your things that that you got to you approve upon and

there's times that we as coaches like you know we played a lot of multiple teams and
