00:07 The injury update, DJ was good practice today.
00:10 We'll see how we go to the next 48 hours and then also Jaquan.
00:14 Jaquan also practiced today and we'll see where that goes here.
00:18 But looking good, trending in the right direction.
00:20 A little bit in practice, just some tightness there in the groin.
00:23 So we wanted to rest him that one day and we'll see where he goes.
00:27 And like I said, he was out there limited today, but
00:30 hopefully trending in the right direction.
00:31 Best players, right, have to be your hardest workers, but
00:34 they gotta be the toughest too.
00:35 And that's what he is, and he is a tough son of a gun.
00:40 And he's got everything you want from a leader, and he doesn't have to say much.
00:45 And when he talks, everybody listens, and it's really gonna happen.
00:48 It was great in December, but just in general, honestly,
00:50 because we've been doing that a lot, even the beginning part of this year.
00:54 And last year too, and it's great to have continuity on the lines.
00:58 On the offensive line, we finally have continuity there, and
01:01 also on the defensive line too.
01:03 And really throughout the whole football team, but yeah, it's been great.
01:06 >> You can't hold them out.
01:07 >> I mean, those guys were injured and the training staff decides when they're out.
01:12 But it was unfortunate that they were out, but they were.
01:15 And what you lose is consistency there.
01:18 You don't have the consistency of what, Charmaine was out, or
01:21 Eddie was out, or whatever it was.
01:23 Brisker was also out.
01:25 We had several other guys on offense out, right?
01:27 Nate was out.
01:29 But you don't have that consistency that you can build during that time.
01:32 And you gotta find ways to figure it out.
01:34 So for us, it was the walkthroughs, get them in the ITC, get them out and
01:38 do the walkthroughs, and try to get continuity that way.
01:41 And again, that's the best you could do.
