What you think about Roger Satter?
Yeah, hap- appreciate it, but, yeah, I've I love it.
I mean, like, you know, obviously it's gonna be a learning curve, but, what I was saying was the fact that, like, he is known for, like, crazy work ethic, and being obsessed about football.
Like, yeah, there might be some, you know, adjustments but, like, he's g- like, I guarantee you that guy is snapping the ball, like, a million times a day, every day, all day, every day.
It's, like, all he's doing.
And I guarantee you he's with Stroud, doing that as well.
and, you know, if he can't beat out Jake Andrews, which this isn't, like, a slight on Jake Andrews.
Like, he's still, like, a decent center, but, like, he was basically, like, an undrafted free agent from us, you know, for us, for us.
Like, you know, had been in the league and you got him for nothing, and was your starting center.
if you draft a guy in the, you know, late first and trade up for him, and he can't win that job, that would be crazy, which I don't see how that would happen, to be honest.
Like, if you just think about his ability for one, and then, like, the big thing they liked about him was his mentality, his work ethic, his nastiness.
So I love it, dude.
Like, and he is the dog.
Like, you heard Aziz already talking about him, like, you know, how he's, you know, pesky.
He's like a pest.
He's, like, on you after the play, through the whistle.
and then, you know, there was another point, too.
I forget the video.
