He is not.

then we'll hear a lot more from him.

But no, he's not talking here at Indy.

I don't think the Will Howard is just a smokescreen.

I do think there is intrigue with him.

If Aaron Rodgers were to say no, then it changes the equation.

I think we all expect Aaron Rodgers to say yes.

Can't predict what's in his head, but it seems like everything has been put in motion for him to be the quarterback in 26.

So if you go with that assumption and you would hope by the draft, you would know that answer.

We've seen him step up in the past when Sid has been out.

But I think really, to me, it's about the team playing fundamental, like to try not to make up for Sid in one person, but rather the entire team just can.

You know, if they play the responsible hockey and they get the goaltending they've gotten for the most part of the year,

I think they're going to be okay.

They'll at least still be in the fight if Sid is able to get back for the last few games.

And I know it's obviously a big loss on many levels.

But to that point there, Bob, the thing that has impressed me this entire season is when they get sideways, they correct themselves.

But they have found ways to reset the way that they want to play within a game, which they really struggled with the last few years.

And

So that's my plans.

Yeah, it's been an interesting experience.
