Having guys who start the season on a practice squad and end up starting for you by end of season, that's another sign of some really high quality opportunities that will present itself even when an injury isn't what triggers it.

So I think those actions speak louder than any sale job that I could do for anybody.

And we'll certainly let players and representation point to those as examples of why they should be here.

Undoubtedly.

Undoubtedly.

The words on the wall, the words that you speak, that's one thing.

But being able to live and breathe all that is a totally different dynamic.

And, you know, I've got to give a ton of gratitude and appreciation for Sean and his family for entrusting Tony, myself, and Liam to step into these roles.

I've got to give a ton of –

gratitude and appreciation to the players for embracing us and buying in.

Obviously, Liam setting the message, setting the tone, holding the standard firm, them embracing that and putting it into action as players is something that isn't easy to garner, isn't easy to produce, and that takes time.

It takes time to build that trust.

It takes time to showcase what you're saying is actually what you're living.

And, yeah, that's a real part of it, for sure.

But I certainly look forward to pressing that restart button because you got to recreate, you got to iterate.

It's never going to be the exact same that it was, and we look forward to that challenge.

What's the hardest thing about getting the boulder back off the hill and maybe even further than you got initially?

You know, I got to look look at what those exact I guess you could call it bullet points would be to get that over the hump.

I think that we had a lot of great energy towards the end of the season in terms of like, I don't know if a lot of guys were just like, oh, my gosh, let's get this season over with type thing.

to where the schedule, the routine, the support staff, the operation, the routine, the practices, it was, it felt like it was going in the right direction in terms of sustainability throughout maybe a few more weeks.
