Yeah, I tell you what, when I sat down with Ben, it was clearly evident from the get-go
00:11
that this was someone that I wanted to work with and somebody I wanted to work for and
00:16
be a part of his staff.
00:18
You know, the players here really enjoy the players here, really enjoy hearing Ben's vision.
00:27
He was clear and concise from the get-go and very transparent about everything that
00:33
was occurring.
00:35
So his passion for special teams really was exciting to me, and not only for special teams,
00:42
but connecting all three phases together, playing complementary football.
00:46
What I'm excited about and what the players are excited about, because they've been darn
00:50
blowing my phone up, you know, left and right, which is an honor, you know, I'm grateful
00:55
for that.
00:56
They're excited about taking this thing to the next level.
00:59
So I can't tell you how humbling it's been to get all the text messages from these guys
01:04
and just, these dudes are, I can't wait to help these dudes reach the goals that they
01:09
want to reach.
01:10
In the special teams room, they're held to the highest standard and they want to be pushed
01:16
and they're held accountable.
01:17
And I love them, I put my arm around them, but I put my foot up there behind when I need
01:21
to.
01:22
So that's the real, that's the real peak behind the curtain of what goes on.
01:27
And the credit to those guys that they continue to play at a high level, week in and week
01:34
out, even with anything, you know, y'all is going to have adversity, you know, but those
01:38
guys in a special teams room rose to the challenge.
