What's, what have been your impressions of that quarterback role?

They've been awesome.

They're so fun.

I mean, there's a lot of personality, a lot of knowledge, and it's just really cool to be a part of and really cool to see what's it been like, uh, playing in front of Kurt, seeing the way that he operates this offense as a veteran and kind of the passion that he brings to the game.

It's great.

I mean , you love having a quarterback like that.

Uh, he's, by far, he knows the game.

I mean, that's like a goal for you.

I mean, it's great.

I mean, it's great as an offense.

I mean.

Offensive line, running backs, quarterbacks, wide receivers, everybody that wants to go fast, and that's where the league is trending, so to have a, a system like that, I mean, we all feel blessed.
