1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: So a couple of things for you not practicing today. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: Jermaine Iluminor, Evan Neil, Tate, Banks, Nacho and Bobby Okaycay. 3 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: Bobby's got a back, Nacho's got his neck, Tay's rib. 4 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: Evan is a hip, illumin Or is a quad limit 5 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: it in practice today in some form would be Tommy 6 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: with his forearm, Bryce Ford, DJ Davidson, and Jordan Riley 7 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: and we will. 8 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: Activate the Ante Johnson's window here. Where do you standing outside? 9 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: No? And then so I think Tommy's improving. He'll throw 10 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: out here today, probably do some show team reps. Drew 11 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: is gonna take all the reps uh with the ones 12 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: today and he'll be the quarterback this week. And if 13 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: Tommy is well enough to be second quarterback, he will 14 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: be and if not, he'll be ten. But I think 15 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: he's trending in the right direction. We'll see where he 16 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: is today. 17 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 3: From the quarterback. Is that based on Tommy's health or 18 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 3: Drew being the guy you think is a better quarterback 19 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 3: right now? 20 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say Drew. Drew did some good stuff in Dallas. 21 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: He also did some things that he can improve on. 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: I want to give him a full week of preparation 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: practice to let him go out there and play this week. 24 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 4: What kind of an impact do you think that'll have 25 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 4: on it? I mean, he was never taking reps really 26 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 4: with the starter. I mean, I know he did some 27 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 4: walk throughs and stuff, but just have an actual week 28 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 4: of practice with the with the ones and then go 29 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 4: into this game. 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's you know, he took the walk 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: through today. He'll take all the reps, you know, prepare 32 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: this week. 33 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: As if he's a starter. 34 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: Given the lack of reps he did have, I mean, 35 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: obviously he turned them all over twice, which is probably 36 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: the most. 37 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: But if he can't take this away, but if you 38 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: you look beyond that, how did you feel like he 39 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: played last week for the last game without munch preparation. Yeah, 40 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: I mean he's been preparing since he's been here in 41 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: terms of understanding the plays. But he made some good plays. 42 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: He made some loose plays, plays with his feet, made 43 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: some loose plays throwing the ball down the field, and 44 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: he was stepping up or getting pressure and keeping his 45 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: eyes down the field. I have to correct some of 46 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: those turnovers. Those are big things. 47 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: But we'll give him. We'll give him the whole week 48 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 2: here to prepare for this game. 49 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 3: The guys are not Makinson today. 50 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 5: Any long term. 51 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 3: Concerns with them or. 52 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: I'd say week to week. 53 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: Yep, you think some of those guys have a chance 54 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 3: for Sunday, You think. 55 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: I think they all have a chance. But I think 56 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: it's too early to tell. I how optimistic I am 57 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 2: with it. 58 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 4: Bobby heard his back in the game, or he just 59 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 4: kind of woke. 60 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: Up with it, or yeah, just sore. 61 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: He's sore right now with it, and again it's getting better. 62 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: But you'll see where he's at THEO. 63 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: Johnson, I guess had a long term injury. You have 64 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 3: to have surgery. 65 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: He did. 66 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, he had surgery yesterday.

We have a young team. 107 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: I think they're improving in a lot of areas. 108 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: Newman's played a lot of football, had a lot of tackles, 109 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: Nuban's been productive in some of the things. Obviously, the 110 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: leak's been productive, Steal was coming on and and Tracy 111 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: has done a nice job. All things we still need 112 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: to work on. But you know, good young class. 113 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 5: How would you assess how Bobby has well? First of all, 114 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 5: what kind of a loss would it be? He plays 115 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 5: pretty much every snap, and how do you assess what 116 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 5: kind of impact he's made this year? 117 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 2: Is prepared the last year. 118 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going to get into comparisons from when 119 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: you're the next. Bobby's been a good leader for us. 120 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: You know, hopefully he'll be ready to play and he's not. 121 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: The young guys are gonna have to just step up 122 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: and do a good job. 123 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 3: It's depending on Bobby's that your down. Don't want healthy captain. 124 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if you like do another vote or 125 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: like yeah no, that's you know, that's we We have 126 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: some veterans in the room of guys like GBR and 127 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: you know, people have have played a while that have 128 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: done a good job in their leadership role. But yeah, 129 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: we Captain's down on them but. 130 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: More and so he's probably gonna end to fill that 131 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: voy at defense to tackle. He can't replace Dexter. 132 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: I'd say we have a number of injuries the defensive 133 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: line right now, so we are a lot of young 134 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: players that are gonna have to you know, they've been 135 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: working hard to continue to improve. Dre's done a nice 136 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: job with them, but you're never going to replace Dexter. 137 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: And we'll see where Nacho is DJ's. You know, we've 138 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: got some guys injured in that spot, and these young 139 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to do a nice job of 140 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: doing the best they can. 141 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 5: When you have that many injuries, do you have to 142 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 5: change what you do defensively? 143 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's always conversation in terms of, you know, 144 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: what we need to do to to shore up things. 145 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: If you're missing a good player, it's hard to it's 146 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: hard to replace some of those really good players. But 147 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: certainly each week you try to do the best job 148 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: you can and in terms of game plan. 149 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: That tackle if if Illuminor and Neil can go on 150 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: Sunday with Zudu right or we'll see here how these 151 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: next couple of days in practice from guys out ye. 152 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 5: How close is Tyer Phillips to being ready to step in? 153 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: He's you know, he's he's had a long layoff, so 154 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: I think he's he's improving, He's you know, he remembers 155 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: all the stuff that we've done, but he's still you know, 156 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: he's still catching up to the technique and being out 157 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: there every day and coming off that injury. 158 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 5: And you also added a defensive liman from the Rams 159 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 5: practice squad.
