00:00I just wanted to be back. Got a lot to work on, for sure, but it was good to be back.
00:06I didn't feel like that went overall.
00:07Poorly.
00:09Why do you think that was the always-up guess?
00:13That's just usually how it goes for the first day. We just got a lot to clean up, but we got a lot of time, so.
00:20Why is that? I think it's probably, it seems like it takes a little while for everyone to find a rhythm early on.
00:24Why is it that it kind of maybe takes a little bit once Cam gets rolling?
00:27Well, usually everybody's on their own working. You know, we don't have, they're in OTAs. We're not really going against each other like that.
00:36So just, you know, offense is all about timing, rhythm, working together to become a cohesive unit, and so that's not going to be the case on the first day.
00:48Morning practice is obviously different. What are your thoughts initially?
00:50I'm very pro morning practice.
00:52Zach said that he's going to play you more in preseason than ever before.
00:56How does it feel for you to be able to go into this training camp with no restrictions from a practice standpoint all in preseason?
01:04Yeah, I'm excited for the chance to get better.
01:06You know, those are valuable reps that we haven't had in the past for good reason, but I think we're making the right decision this year,
01:15and I think that's going to benefit us in the long run.
01:19Why are you so much for morning practices?
01:21Just nutrition timing, you know, it's going to be better in the weight room, practice in the morning.
01:30Now we can go in and get a lift and work hard in there too.
01:34When, you know, if we were lifting before practice, you don't want to go in there and burn yourself out before you go out and work on your craft.
01:41So I think the timing of it is just going to be better overall.
01:44You did solicit your feedback on when to come over time and do that, all that, keeping all that up at all?
01:50I mean, we had talked about it in years past, but no, I had not.
01:55That was their decision.
01:56Were you involved at all in the decision for yourself and other starters to play more in the preseason?
01:59I wouldn't say that.
02:02I think coaches know how I've felt about that and how I've always thought that that would benefit me for sure.
02:13You know, I think other positions you have to be a little careful because of how physical those positions are.
