Yeah, they've got a great run scheme,
and they've got a great back to do it with.
So when you can run the ball
and know that your back's going to make people miss
in the open field or break tackles
by running through them, over them, around them,
it certainly gives you the confidence to give him touches.
And he's been incredible.
I mean, he's in and out of breaks.
I mean, we've shown our guys clips of him since
the start of the year to kind of say,
are you practicing to tackle him?
Tim, are you practicing to tackle?
Who you're playing against
and we're driving the motivation that every day you're trying to
prepare for the best
and he's certainly done that and he's a talented young man.
Do you do anything in a different in a bi-week
to prepare for how long this season could go and how
well do you feel like this team is prepared
to potentially play for another two or three months?
Anything different relative to years past?
Yeah, we went Tuesday and Thursday with Wednesday being a lot less.
And we scripted reps for certain guys more than others.
That's been the last two years, really.
I mean, it's not what everybody thinks it is.
You're trying to keep your team healthy.
And we've got less depth than we've ever had.
So certainly we're trying to develop our guys
that will be playing if guys get injured
or that might be playing next year.
And we're trying to maintain the conditioning level
and the physicality of the rest of them.
