a dominant tone setting offensive line and the dominant tone setting offensive line has to have coaches that put them in position to be dominant in tone setting and so to hear some of that uh it just really marries up uh some of the the feelings that you get from inside the building where you say like it's not just caleb and the weapons you know it's this group up front that's given an opportunity to to really make an impact

Right, and if they can get that level of play out of him this year, they'll be in pretty good shape.

I thought it was cool.

You know, Teron Armstead obviously worked with Braxton over the soft season, and Braxton, the final week of minicamp, talked about how much he enjoyed not only absorbing sort of the expertise and the technical knowledge from a guy who played at a Pro Bowl level for a long time, but feeling his own confidence swell.

And you can hear in that soundbite kind of the self-belief that Teron Armstead can inject into Braxton Jones by saying, like, this is all about the work you put in, you've got –

you know, the intelligence and the toughness and the, you know, the physicality to be a difference maker at this level.

And so I think it was a good match.

And that match, you know, I think in part was put together by Dan Rochard, the offensive line coach.

It's got a long lasting relationship with Teron Armstead.

You can marry a guy that's working with your guys in the off season and they speak the same language, right?

They have the same vision for who you're supposed to become as a player.

So cool, cool thoughts there.

And Braxton did also say like, you know, every time that's Ron Armstead compliments him publicly, it makes him feel better.

We all love to have some of that reassurance in our life.

And so hopefully that's valuable as well.

No, we've said it a number of times.

The head is tilted over the shoulder.

Right.

And it's looking back.

Hey, Illinois, what's next?
