[00:01:07] Speaker B: I think our defense is getting better. I think we're able to play like a little bit more aggressive style of defense, which is more of my personality. I think the players are starting to kind of catch on a little bit more to our defensive principles and that kind of stuff, which can be a little bit different sometimes. So I think our defense has started to grow a lot. We need our offense to grow a bit more too.
