00:00Question?

00:06Two guys questionable like DJ Moore and a swell friend

00:09around water.

00:10They look pretty good.

00:11So we'll just see how the next couple of days go and you

00:13know, see what happens on game day.

00:14Question 1000%.

00:15I obviously got a long history with Travis.

00:17I recruited Travis in Miami and, and coached him

00:20for three years.

00:20So definitely he's always been dependable.

00:23It's kind of been early on before he had a couple

00:25of injuries himself, really involved in third down also

00:28two minute, but kind of take a bigger role this week.

00:30As far as being more involved in a normal D and D process.

00:33Yeah, I think Travis is capable of doing everything

00:35for us offensively.

00:36I think anytime you talk about that position

00:38running back wise, I'm not really into building a roster

00:42of situational guys because of that position is so volatile.

00:46At some point you're going to need all of them to go play.

00:47And at some point, even your third or fourth guy's

00:49going to probably start a couple of games for you.

00:51So I have full faith and confidence in him

00:52and the entire room and your entire roster.

00:54Entire team has been built the right way.

00:56I think the mentality overall is to be aggressive

00:58to be attacking, to be physical.

01:00And they've, they've kind of stacked the roster that way.

01:03I think Kyle's done a great job throughout the years

01:05as far as having that same mentality to pick it

01:08and choosing the spots to be aggressive

01:10but they obviously want to run the ball

01:11and be effective on offense.

01:12They want to knock the run out

01:13and make you one dimensional on defense

01:15and also very aggressive on defense.

01:17I mean, special teams as well.

01:18So I think us being able to match that

01:20but also keep guys balanced offensively.

01:23Also, you know, Fred Warner is a

01:25there's probably been more ways than one

01:27just the way he communicates

01:28trying to find ways to give him different looks

01:30because if you give him the same presentation

01:32he will diagnose it.

01:33He will communicate and he will meet you

01:34wherever the ball is.
