Before we get into all of that, cues's at the facility you know you've been giving us

some great content uh every you know even before a trading camp but cue what's the vibe like

today because pads go on today yeah it's an exciting time man i'm excited to be here but with pads

going on that's when you start to as lincoln says play some football right there's some football

activities that are going on the guys are juiced up they went through the acclamation period, a lot of energy, a lot of excitement, but it's a real deal. It's a real test once the pads come on, and that happens this morning, so it's going to be a lot of fun. First of all, nobody likes pads. Nobody likes plans. Nobody likes training camp. Nobody likes all the stuff that you have to go through, but it's

a necessary evil. And like, you know, Q was mentioning, and I've always said, like, in order

to play football, you got to play football. So you can't play footballs and shorts and t-shirts. You got to play football with pads. So it's a necessary evil, but there's not a player in the world that says, Oh yeah, I really look forward to pads day.

Let's let's go.

That just means it's all business.

It's all business from here, right?

It should be.

It should be.

That's the way it should be. By the way, I got to bring this up, but I believe Link might be the waviest person on the show. They love his fits, right? The fits are getting a lot of comments. I got a great T on today. So we got to give a shout out to Link.
