You know, just a great teaching point today.

So Friday morning we have an a.m.

workout at 6 a.m., and last Friday I came in and watched the guys work out, and at the end of the practice we were doing prowler work, which is a really hard, intense, grueling thing for one guy individually.

And last week I watched some guys go through it, and there were guys standing at the finish line that were just waiting for those guys to come across.

Well, when I watched another group do it, they all came out and encouraged the guy, and the guy went,

you know, faster, quicker, and stronger than ever before.

I went down there today, and just in a matter of weeks, the entire team ran to the guy that was trying to finish the drill and encouraged him to get across.

And my message was like, hey, it's all about what we do individually, but it's what we do collectively that matters.

And to see the growth of our team from last week to this week has just been awesome.

So that's all the things, as you know, David, like, you know, good football teams are made of great players, but it's how that team thinks together.

And

To build this group from January to July and then jump into August training camp and then September to see where this thing goes, that's why we do what we do.

So it's a really fun time.

We lost some good players, don't get me wrong.

I've got a handful of guys going to Combine.

I think we'll probably have somewhere in the neighborhood of probably 12 to 15

12 to 13 guys that will sign NFL rosters, which obviously is great for them, but it's not the greatest for us.

But that next wave of guys are waiting, and to see those guys materialize and come about is really what drives us every day in this building as coaches.

Well, so I've been doing this a long time, and I remember the first quarterback I ever offered as a head football coach was a guy by the name of Scott Tolzien, who's right from there in Chicago.

He was quarterback now, coach for the New Orleans Saints.
