I'm just analyzing what we're doing. Systematically and technique we're playing. Who's playing and I just felt like. Those things need to be addressed and we need to be better and I felt like it was we had the opportunity to get -- Ngo and and Derrick Mason Randy. Hearts and -- Sanderson. Brian -- and that's. The -- must start over -- defense decided involves dramatically and numbering and he knew approach. Spring ball I think. Reflection Howard news. We much improvement is coming off -- -- making a bowl last year -- expectations for Stanford football for the first time in years what's that like. Well we've we've always I expectations that big goals big dreams and and that's to win the conference championship. Go to the Rose Bowl win that too so. You know the standards that.

No no red flag there's no like well he's got a strong arm. Kerry doesn't move so well this kid is athletic he gets -- -- the way people he can run. He rushed for over 400 yards last year he doesn't take sacks -- him sacked like five times. The entire season he's got great accuracy great arm strength. Great head on his shoulders extremely smart so you know there's no glaring -- red flag. I'm not and you're like no he's healthy. So you know just a matter taken you know his entire game and -- trying to get better any trades serve. And ever -- -- job owns Jim your name is Natalie connected to a tough.
