And if you're a club member, don't forget, I'll be doing a private Zoom with you guys Thursday night when I've been doing the last few times. We go a lot of stuff off the record. And then I record the rest for the other club members.

So anyways, that's my group, and we'll be doing that Thursday night.

So today, I'm just a little bit more housekeeping before I get to what I'm going to talk about,

which is just a bunch of second thoughts based on the OTA work.

I'll be back with our other podcast for Thursday night slash Friday and then another one for Sunday night slash Monday.

And then we're back out at OTAs on Tuesday and we get to talk to the assistant coaches

Wednesday and Thursday.

And then the following week is their three-day mini camp.

And I do not see them doing what the 49ers did, which is canceling their mini camp because they've had 100% attendance that has not been the case here. And even if it was, I wouldn't expect that. Like you're coming off five and 12 season. I don't think it be wise to cancel minicamp. And I do not believe that is something that they are even contemplating. So in the past, there have been times where teams, well, teams here

would cancel. They'd put down like a three-day minicamp and Shanahan would do this all the time. Put down, oh, it's a three-day minicamp. You get to that second day and it's like, hey, we're breaking now. Well, I think the intention was always a break, but it makes the players feel like you gave in that break.

They have a three-day mini-camp with Quinn.

They're going to have a three-day mini-camp with Quinn.

I do not believe. I don't think that they would cancel that last day, but who knows. So, and I think, like I said, you're coming off a five and 12 year, even if you've had a good offseason, I think you need as much, and you're installing a new offense, new defense, you need as much work as you can get. So there we go. Anyways, let's get to some second thoughts after the session on Tuesday. And a lot of the stuff I'm going to talk about is like what you hear from players versus more what you see. And I'm going to get into some of the offensive stuff with like some of the receiver and the offense in a future podcast.

I kind of was going to talk about some of that today, but I wanted to save some of that.

Because I do think it's interesting to go further on that one and just, you know, how can this offense mitigate maybe not having that true number two receiver?

So that's something going to be talking about.

And listen, it's not another guy would be a big help.

It's more about what can you do if you don't get that guy and how vital is it to get that

guy.
