But, never remember, very productive practice today. Like, even though it was in Helmiston shorts, a lot of situations, a lot of clock management situation in the game before the half, third down stuff, a lot of blitz stuff. I was very happy the way of the work we got in today. We got, we got something accomplished and got better in a lot of areas and a lot of things we need to get work and they took it very

serious and made some mistakes but then we correct them and got a lot of good teaching in

and very happy the way the day went just going off that this late in spring camp what do you look

to game when you don't have pads in that I mean situation football consistently assignments

alignments you know depth how to do things consistently and then how to go out and hustle hard. But then clock management. You've got to be able to

understand red zone, tight zone, third down, third and short, third and long, you know, two minute four the half, two minutes, two minutes for the game, you've got three timeouts, you got two timeouts, you got no timeouts, you need a field goal, you need a touchdown. I mean, all those, Many of those things you can do over and over and pound it in their head

to understand situational football.

And because when it comes down to a good team, that's what it's going to come down to. And who can manage those situations. And that's what we're constantly trying to do right now. Is that what you said earlier in spring, Ken, just cramming as much information as you can. You do it in opportunities because every time you do it, what's funny, something happens different. You think you coach against everything you could coach against. And all of a sudden, two things will pop up or a scenario will pop up. And, you know, just getting that experience in those situations and understanding, getting them to understand what you're trying to accomplish. You can be passed tomorrow? Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. we'll be pads. We'll be back to a good practice tomorrow. We didn't have no pads on. No way. Everybody was in no contact. They were all in no contact. No, he can't. He won't go ahead of dinner spring. When was the last time you weren't in pads? Do you remember? Yeah, the first two days. Okay.

You got the first two days, and then we go, yeah, three days of shorts and helmets.

You mentioned...

Do you know, has Mario coming along, learning all the positions on the line and maybe doing doing different things? He and Cash are both. Mario's doing a lot, Cash is doing a lot. I mean, those guys are being very multiple in what they're having to do and inside, outside, and doing a really nice job.

Why'd you make the decision to maybe get the more versatile and have them learn everything? Well, because, I mean, injuries, and then you create mismatches. Those guys can create mismatches with pass rushes, getting on backs, getting on a guard, getting on a tackle, you know, how a protection goes, and just trying to create guys that can create plays on the quarterback. You mentioned Matthew Thomas once or twice, I think I wish Yeah, it looks really well

I think he's played, I mean just trying to create guys that can create plays on the quarterback. You mentioned Matt Bittonis once or twice.

He makes really well. I think he's played. I mean, he's really learning inside, getting all blocks better, but man, he's so instinctive and flashes and gets to a point. He can tap. Great space player. I mean, he's 228 pounds now. I mean, running well, play him well. I mean, just, you know, really good player. Seat back at full speed? Yeah.

You're trying to get into just ready to play one position or you put it in a multiple times? I mean, running well, play them well. I mean, just, you know. Is he back to full speed? Yeah.

You're trying to get in just ready to play one position,

or you put down a multiple.

He played a couple things. He played, he can play all that, may they all cross-jury. Just in general, how do you think the younger linebackers that maybe not Terrence or Reggie are doing right now? Well, I mean, the legway was having a great spring.

I mean, I thought we were playing extremely well.

Matthew was having a good spring.

Like I say, Reggie, Terrence, the legway was having a great spring. I mean, I thought it was playing extremely well.

Matthew was having a good spring. Like I say, Reggie Terrence, all those guys, I mean, they're doing it. AJ Leavenberry, very physical. Could take on blocks inside of these 200, almost 38 pounds, you know what I mean? He can run big, physical. I mean, I've been pleased with all those guys inside. I really haven't. Matthew's a guy we haven't gotten to see very much.
