You you -- so hard you working also in different things thinking about all the that this sort comes as you had turned that the year and -- this summer. We afforded -- ourselves the right to relax you know a lot more than our bodies calmed down so to -- and almost was. A lot of us -- still celebrate this doing joined. What we did throughout the course -- season and knowing having their blueprint for it. Before success they've made a lot easier it is to relax and then not have distress so much so. But it did convince us some resident -- a force of stood since we thought about we had to work even more because the repeat makes it. Even tougher the offseason because you gotta get in shape sooner than you normally would or itself soon and only one of them."

Play from 4:28[4:28]" combination of things because as you look at the season where it went under and games. You look though you are you know before the -- players you get right in the -- Susan Mosul. For me up a couple of months off before relieved of against it was just them about you and spoken man. And so it is. And again once I detest about and look at it it was like you know you actually -- was the -- comments. -- most of next you look at all the banners and I -- so not a great players are great this has been here.

You know once you're out of related to rotate from room. Was -- some things. Was I think through it was great to gravitate to very very. Torre very quickly. The fact that you lose a player like that. I -- never want to do you know one losing in the any veteran leadership. But the same -- I think you should go away for a statistic -- so all matured in which we've. Before of -- come up front to. But they disagree ups who's who. First solo growth. And so. No -- we've gone -- things we've learned and asked upon them to their shoes. Not so -- unpleasant there's some young guys and very you to prove something going to themselves particularly you know. Romo we see ourselves as being leaders and showing them what we've learned through players like polls and PJ. And and -- and so if anything you this is gonna it's gonna show maturity.
