Justin, did they have Brandel at center?

0:13.2

That I don't know.

When it comes to practice, what we see in practice is the warmups.

0:19.6

So in the season. During training camp, we see everything practice is the warm-ups. So in the season.

0:21.7

During training camp, we see everything.

0:25.2

We watch the whole practice, but in the season, we just see the warm-ups.

0:29.4

So we don't know if Brandl is going to be the starting center.

0:32.4

I would think that he will be because you're looking for someone with more experience in a place like

That's something that we didn't see too much of in the first two games, but would like to see that. there was one play where he kind of just rolled out and had to check it to C.J. Ham,

and it looked ugly, but it was actually like a good play by him, I think.

1:34.6

So, yeah, I agree with you.

That's pretty good there.
