SPEAKER 1

I think in the beginning they were trying to figure everything out a little bit, first week, and then coming back from spring break, trying to get back in the flow of it. But the intensity of practice has been really good. Guys are competing.

We're taking steps, but consistency will be the key to changing something. So we just got to stay consistent a little bit. What was Saturday like with the first real contact? It was awesome. It was like why we play, right? This is why we do it. I think we had 24 reps, and then we had a two-minute drill.
