A, Ben, I hear you're super excited about the new and improved Braxton Jones, which Gregory is still working on getting to.

But tell us about what Braxton's been doing.

Yeah, well, I mean, the left tackle competition a year ago, as we all know, it was really a three or four-man race throughout training camp.

And we were counting on somebody to step to the table.

And it took some time for us to get clarity on that.

We started the season with Braxton.

I think he would tell you he still didn't feel 100% like himself from the prior year's injury.

And so what he put on tape, those first four games,

he didn't feel like it was very reflective of what he's capable of.

Looking back at it, we would agree with that.

We think there's more in there than what we saw.

He ended up getting injured in practice during the season,

and so we lost him for a stretch as well.

We only got him back there right at the very end, and we didn't feel like it was fair to force him into action in the playoffs right off the bench just like that. And so I'm excited about where he's at right now. He came in when he signed the contract. And he looked like a brand new man as far as I'm concerned. This guy was beefed up.

He's probably 310 pounds, and he looked yoked up.

And I know he's very determined to get his career trajectory back to where it was before.

I know how you guys are about keeping an open mind about things,

but this dude is keeping an open mind about things.

A yoked up, Braxton Jones. He's yoked up, dog. Gee. Well, hopefully it's in those legs. Hopefully he's been hitting leg down a bunch. Listen, he's not going to be able to, for lack of a better way of putting this, reinvent his ass. That's just not something he's going to be able to do.

Is that what Greg tried to do right now?

Yeah, yeah.

But so that's, you know, so listen, it's not more belly concerned right now. He doesn't have the ideal frame for a left tackle, but you got to deal with what you got here.
