You can join their team today.

We'll be joining in about an hour by Mike Loxley,

head coach of the Maryland Terrapins.

They open this weekend in College Park against Florida Atlantic.

That's coming up in just about an hour.

I believe we'll be joined shortly by Ben Standing. I think he's joining us right now in the Rood guest hotline. Rude, the most reliable heating and air conditioning products in the DMV. Ben, good morning. Thanks for the time. We appreciate it. Hey, what's up, guys? Thanks for having me on. I wish Jason was here. He must be coming back from the bathroom because he was going to tell you, you know this

team better than we do.

You saw the Brian Robertson thing from a mile away.

Tell us what was going into your thought process, kind of in the off season and early in camp.

Yeah, I appreciate that.

Look, one of my takeaways from last year was, obviously, the offense was great,

but they didn't get big plays out of the backfield.

I think that was one of the reasons they brought in Debo Samuel,

even though he's receiver by trade, he's going to get three to five touches a game.

Right.

And, you know, when you just look at, like, how do you improve the group? But just, Brian Robinson was just, you know, sort of a single hitter. Maybe, you know, he only had five plays over 20 yards last year, et cetera. But, you know, then they didn't do that much in the offseason. But once I started looking at Jacori-Kroski-Marrett, once saw some of the other guys step up and just, I don't know, you just listen to what is being said and not being said, you kind of get a sense of the room, and yeah, it was a little bold, I guess, to say that to throw it out there like that, but yeah, that's just kind of how I saw it. I just could not shake the feeling that this is going to happen.

Ben, how does the team resist the temptation and the urge to overuse Austin Echler?

Because in that room right now, he's the most proven guy.

And we know that he struggled with concussion issues last season.

Like, how are they going to manage his touches?

How does he fit in?
