| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:43.3 | one of the most important on the entire field. And Juergens, to me, has not looked like anywhere |

| 1:12.0 | these guys because Donovan Jackson needs all the help that he can get. |
| 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. |
