Ryan Poles

So unique situation overall, but I know we were happy with him throughout the season.

Yeah, very similar to the other guys.

Went through the season.

The next meeting, we also want to know what they need from us to help them be successful.

But real positive conversation with DJ and really everybody else also.

We're going to take the North and never give it back.

I would say only in a pinch.

We like him at left guard.

That's where we'd like him to play next year.

You got to win the first one, right?

You got to get started.

But what are you willing to sacrifice to do that?

There's some things you can do.

You all have seen that before I got here.

You can accelerate it, and then after, it goes away pretty quick.

So we got to balance both.

Unfortunately, that's not reality in terms of...

you know, picking it and do you want to go all in and hurt yourself down the road?

Our mindset is to do both, win now and then be able to sustain that and have flexibility.

It's not going to be easy, you know what I mean?
