How much are you looking forward to watching that battle for those two guard spots?
Yeah, absolutely.
You know, we don't get to even put pads on I think until the, you know, 6th practice.

Now, you know, it'll, They will, uh, they'll make the decision for us.
So, uh, we're gonna coach them up, and we also know that, uh, whoever's starting week one doesn't mean that's the starter in week 17.
So we're, we're always developing and getting guys better throughout the entire training camp and throughout the whole season.

Um, so I, you know, the players, the players' challenge is up ahead.
