Austin Lane

You mentioned Etienne a little bit, and obviously the offense kind of ran through him and everything.

Pete, I understand that you're a giant tootin' guy.

I think a lot of people are because we've seen the glimpses.

I don't know if we've seen enough of the sample size, but going forward, you have Travis Etienne.

This is his last year here as far as it is now.

Did he make a case that do you re-sign him?

Because, and I'll just say my piece real quick.

I'm a big proponent, whether it's on offense or defense, that you never get rid of your best player.

I think right now, Travis Etienne on offense is your best player.

Now, Travis Hunter was making a case for it until he got hurt.

Brenton Strange was making a case for it until he got hurt.

Etienne's your best player right now.

Would you feel okay if he, you know, next year comes around and you go someplace else?

Because I'm going to be honest, right now, I wouldn't.

I mean, but what do you give him?

No, listen, I understand they're replaceable.

But has Tootin showed you enough right now?

And once again, I understand we still have a lot more games to go.

People got to stay healthy, all this stuff.

But like if ETN goes, and once again, knock on wood, but like if something happens to ETN the next couple weeks and then you insert Tootin and Allen, are you confident they can get the job done?
