“You’re trying to bring new guys in. You’re trying to keep the guys on your roster, and I think you know, understanding this league on a much more dynamic level as a coaching staff, and understanding our players and how they fit within our systems. We took a huge jump, you know, from it, from a spring standpoint,” he continued.
