We're starting from scratch.

I think you see the offseason investment in really the three guys.

There's four of them, but there's three guys that we had experience with last year with

with Braxton, with Caron, and with Theo, those guys all had really good off-seasons.

You know, there's certain things we can and can't do.

We can't get our hands on them.

Well, Braxton and Theo both went and invested some time with Teron Armstead, who's a former player in our system, or with me, and I trust him.

You know, some of these guys are going and looking for opportunities

people to work with them and you don't know what's being coached asked of them i felt really good about both the guys invested they invested in in in improving and and i see that already um karan he stayed locally but he was here every day and and he's gotten bigger and stronger and there's a lot of positives we've seen although not working against the defense just the fundamental things and then

you would certainly throw in the idea that Jedrick will get in the mix.

So we have a great deal of competition.

I don't think anybody goes in as a lead.

We certainly put value in the veteran in Braxton.

So we'll let that thing play out.

But they're all pushing each other.

They all make each other better.

And I think it's a really good situation from that aspect.

Listen, I'm transparent.

I met with all three guys that played left tackle for us this past year to include Theo Benedet and the undrafted.

young man from Canada, and I told all three of them this.
