Yeah.
Yeah, Gil, Gill's been good.
Yeah, I like, I like the corner room a lot.
Um, there's gonna be competition, you know, between Vernon Gill, Tion, uh, those guys have all really performed at a high level.
Um, you know, they're all long guys, they're athletic, they're competitive, uh, they like to play football, but, but Gill has been what you want him to be.
You know, he's a, he's taken a big step.
From where he was, you know, in December to where he is today.
You know, physically, I think he's in a great spot.
His, uh, you know, he's gained weight, but he's been able to keep his speed, um, and he's starting to play with a lot of confidence, you know.
That position is a very unique position.
You have to be able to believe in yourself and your technique and do things right because you're going to give up some plays, just part of it.
The great ones do , uh, they give up plays occasionally, and you have to have that belief and confidence in yourself to be able to put that behind you and, and go make a play the next time you get challenged, and I love that mentality of that group.
I think Benny's been a great addition to the room.
You know, I love what he's doing with those guys.
I mean, he's a, he's a tactician.
He's a, he's a hard worker, he's a no-nonsense guy, and I think that room is starting to take on that personality.
