With Tim O'Malley and Pete Sampson, I'm Tim Priester.

This is Irish Illustrated Insider.

It's Monday, August 12th.

We just came from a very abbreviated observation period of time for the media.

We really didn't get a chance to see a whole lot, so the practice reports are pretty

brief. But we were there on Saturday, of course, saw the full practice then. And Tim, you and I

talked about it in the instant analysis after practice, the defensive line. It was a much-needed

win for the defensive line against the offensive line on Saturday. And I found the most intriguing part of it was a lot of it, I think they won anyway, but a lot

of it came about when they started, changed some things up with the, I guess the dime package

is the first time we've seen.

We've seen a lot of nickel, but it had been against air, and that is important.

This was they unveiled a dime with three safety.

Well, the D-lineine was pretty motivated coming.

Yes.

After working on individual drills with Mike Elson, they were motivated coming into the skirmage portion.

I just thought they really took off when I'm going to

occasionally throwing a blitz from the back end.

I'm not sure they needed it, but they were really, they came back and won that day for sure.

And I think the offensive line felt it.

I mean, there was a couple of skirmishes.

There was almost a fight.

And it was all after plays that were tackles for loss.
