| 0:00.0 | Spiegel and Holmes, afternoons on the score. |
| 0:03.0 | In terms of training camp, I thought coach did a great job setting up training camp. |
| 0:09.0 | In terms of increasing the competition, the physicality. |
| 0:12.0 | I felt like you could start seeing our identity take shape, even though we know that will really solidify itself as we get into the regular season. |
| 0:20.0 | I thought it was very competitive on |
| 0:22.7 | the roster. It made the cut down process difficult. I give a lot of credit to the players |
| 0:29.5 | that worked extremely hard, but also our coaching staff. The staff did a wonderful job, |
| 0:35.2 | developing some players, putting them really ahead of the developmental |
| 0:38.6 | curve and in place to compete for starting positions, backup roles, and making the 53, |
| 0:45.2 | which is always a good thing. |
| 0:49.3 | Ryan Poles talking about where things stand with his roster, and the roster continues to churn. |

| 1:47.5 | It was great to talk to as well, Lawrence. And I want you to know you were currently the league leader in mentions, I think, on the podcast. Really? Yeah. Adam Amin and I talked about you on |
| 1:56.3 | the Adam Amin episode, talked about you with Hogan Johns. I had to go through, I feel like there's another one in there. |
| 2:02.6 | So, you know, it's, we're working our way to the Lawrence Holmes episode, but you're |
