| 0:00.0 | It is finally officially game week, Tim Preister, Tim O'Malley, John Bryce. |
| 0:09.2 | We just met with Marcus Freeman talking about the selection of captains and a whole bunch of |
| 0:15.6 | depth chart decisions made here. |
| 0:17.8 | But I want to start with exactly what Marcus Freeman started with, |
| 0:21.5 | and that is he called it the healthiest preseason camp. He's been around in 15 years, |
| 0:26.3 | despite the fact the Nardium had 15% more practice time. He went in depth on that, |
| 0:31.9 | just one concussion, injuries, I think in general, down 30%. And, you know, the key with the more practice time. |
| 0:40.8 | That's really interesting in a real testament to Lauren Landau. |

| 1:15.1 | That's huge for August Camp because every team has attrition. |
| 1:16.5 | We just only cover one team. |
| 1:22.2 | And noteworthy, I think, that Marcus told us it was intentional to have 15% more practices. |
| 1:24.1 | He said we cannot sacrifice practice. We did not sacrifice practice. |
| 1:26.3 | So, again, no worthy chance Tucker lost for the season confirmed today. |
| 1:30.6 | But he and Charles Jagasaw, the true camp casualties from an injury standpoint. |
| 1:34.9 | Marcus Freeman really pleased in talking about it, both being Lauren Lando, the new investment, |
