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.

So, um, looking at that, um, I think that it was on par with being able to continue moving forward.

It was just some, um, some critical moments, obviously in plays in a game that you got to be able to make.

And, um,

You know, those are things that you end up having to build upon and try to recreate in the offseason.

Right.

So like when we do situational masters and we go through our offseason plan and recreating maybe some of those moments that we ended up losing in.

Right.

obviously, the end of half.

Great execution to get us into a position to make, hey, we just didn't make the kick.

It is what it is, right?

So, all right, let's go put them back in that situation in the spring and continue to recreate moments to create positivity, to have that muscle memory to go and make those plays when the time comes.

I'd point back to really our intent with what we did in the off-season program, which was when we first arrived, there were players that were long-standing starters in the wide receiver room, in the tight end room.

Our belief that

in Brenton and others in the wide receiver room that they, with opportunity, could take a step.

Certainly excited now where we're seated to be able to say that that was a sound decision.

Now at the same time, Brenton did his part to bring that to life.
