scrimmage. I counted 77 plays. Coach Freeman said they were in the 80s, I believe him.

Mine's an unofficial count, but offense defense, the defense was winning most of the day. The offense put a

couple drives together to take the lead with their scoring system. But a couple of pick sixes,

and then a third pick, two picks of Steve Angelian, one of Kenny Minchie decided it for the defense.

And I asked Marcus Freeman about defense should be ahead.

It's Al Golden's third year.

He's got a whole compliment of defensive coaches that have been with him,

generally speaking.

And so the defense is ahead.

But the offense did some good things along the way, certainly.

But in the end, it was those pick sixes that turned the tide toward the defense.

You mentioned Steve Angelly picked off twice, Kenny Minchie once, both for a pick six.

You know who wasn't picked off for multiple reasons.

CJ Carr, because he throws dimes.

And also, he was going against the number twos of the number threes.

He never did go against the number ones.

He had success against the number twos.

Look, he throws the best ball.

We talked after practice.

It's silly to suggest he doesn't throw the next ball.

It does not take long to decide who throws the best looking ball.
