Nick says how concerned should we be that the O line has not been in much will they have time to gel.

0:11.9

I think it's a concern.

0:13.3

Yeah.

0:13.8

I think it's a legitimate concern because if Christian Derosaw is playing week one, it's not going to have a ton of time to practice.

0:21.0

He's in there a little, but not a lot so far for 11 on 11s.

0:26.1

He's not going to have a ton of time to prepare to play with Donovan Jackson.

0:31.0

And Ryan Kelly being out for any amount of time, even missing the night practice and then this

0:36.2

practice, that's concerning because it's

0:38.9

Ryan Kelly and he's been banged up through his career, but also that that relationship is

1:16.1

So yes.

1:16.9

And when you hear that the defense is constantly crushing, you know, the offensive line, like,

1:23.7

you do have that thought of like, that's great for the defense, but also your backup left tackles in there and your backup centers in there today.

1:32.1

And that's kind of what you can expect.

1:33.9

If they don't have a healthy offensive line, there's going to be a lot of trouble because I thought that there would be like that we would come out of this saying, oh, there's pretty good depth.

1:42.9

I haven't felt that way so far other than feeling pretty good about Blake Brandel if they

1:47.3

need a guard.
