It's, it's early in the process, but what have you thought about the defense, the way that they've been trying to throw different looks at you guys?
They're doing a lot of stuff.
Um, they are doing a lot of stuff, and, um, you know, going back to my other point, it's communication.
You know, we're gonna play plenty of teams that are doing what they're doing, um, to us during camp, and we just got to be able to communicate, you know, is a nickel base?
Is this a Sam?
Is this a like.
Um , just everything they're doing, it's making us think, which is good because, um, you know, you got to think on the fly.
This is the NFL.
You got to know your rules and, um, it's good.
You know, you make a mistake, you learn from it, you move on.
And I think we've all probably made plenty of mistakes this camp and we're learning from them.
You brought up one you brought up Fernando.
What's it been like working with him so far and what have you kind of seen from him as he's developed in training camp?
Yeah, I mean, the first thing I noticed about him is just his like positive attack that he has towards practice every day and not even practice meetings, um, meals.
Um, you know, anything that pertains to what we're doing in the building, he's, his outlook on it is very positive.
He does everything with a smile on it.
And that's fun, man.
That's, that's somebody you want to be around.
That's somebody you want to learn with and, um, grow with, and he's done a tremendous job.
I mean, uh, believe me, I know it's not easy to come in here and learn a whole new offense.
Just come in here and just, you know, pressure's on you, eyes are on you, and just freaking go.
Like, you know, it's, it takes a second, but I've been so proud of him, he's working, he's leveling up so hard, um, and, um, you know, I can't wait to just see him keep working, see him keep a smile on his face every single day, and, um, you know, stay friends with him and, and keep this relationship going.
Cool.
