Of course, Poncho that came back. I mean, he’s doing a great job just molding everybody as a line. You know, at the end of the day, we got some guys that came in. At the end of the day, we’re working in the weight room, putting some muscle out there.”“And at the end of the day, Coach Terry’s doing a great job on the playbook, making sure they’re staying at the right technique. You know, with certain things. But overall, I’m not worried at all. We have so much more time of practice and getting reps in with each other, and I’m gonna for sure feel confident in one,” said Moore.
