You've got to make those tough decisions, and they are business decisions.

You kind of...

try to take your emotions out of it and do what's best for the organization.

I got to have conversations and kind of see what, like I said, the best combination of players we can bring in.

We want him here.

We think highly of him.

He's a great teammate.

He's been productive pretty consistently over the last couple of years that he's been here.

So I have nothing but great things to say about him.

But this is the time now where we have to look at all the different scenarios and see what can allow us to put the best team out there.

And I've talked about this before, there's relationships there, there's a lot there that make it really difficult.

But he's a guy we want here, but we have to look at all different scenarios.

Early on with, you have a lot of new things going on and there's a lot of, um,

There's one football and there's a lot more talented targets.

And how that all works out, where they are, I can't tell you where everybody is in different progressions.

So I know at some points it was slow, some moments like towards the end of the season was amazing.

I think when you looked at the production across the board of all our guys, it came out to be pretty even in terms of targets and darts.

So I thought he did a really good job.

I know Ben was very intentional with getting the football to create opportunities.

But when you have Colson start to pop up, Luther, Cole, Rome was going through different things throughout the season, but started hot early.
