00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: you know it's unfortunate, but uh, you know it's the

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: downside of the business. And and we put a we

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: Um as we speak, he had I think eight kicks

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: of them over fifty yards in college. How impressive is it?

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Like stre It's it's impressive, you know that part of

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: it you like, Um, you know, and and and obviously

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: the consistency is what you look for, uh in in

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: kickers and and uh you know it'll be a good

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: opportunity for him, you know. And then and then for

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: us just to keep keep going through the process. We

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: get still got a little bit of time here before before.

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: You know, kicks mean something, but they had to be

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: a good opportunity for and then what went into the

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: decision to looten back? Yeah, that one, you know. Um

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: right now too with with having c J and and

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: I just want to get healthy, you know. Um, it

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: just looked and appeared on film and during the game

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: the other night that he wasn't necessarily percent coming off

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: his injury from the spring, and this gives him a

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: time to time to get healthy. And then again it's

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: a it's a great opportunity for Jake, you know, to

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: to get some more time and to be seen in

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: some valuable reps. So, um, you know, hopefully he can

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: take advantage of that. Is not playing as of right now. No,

30
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: as right now, I know we're probably gonna limit him

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: through practice this week. But but then we'll make you

32
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: know as far as the game goes, because we're we're

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: shuffling some things around right now. Any other guys that

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: won't practice this week with um let me think, Uh, well,

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: will Richardson will be out. Um, who else did you

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: have in mind? I could probably clear James. He's not

37
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: necessarily full clear, but he's clear to practice. We're gonna

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: increase his reps. You'll see an orange jersey on him.

39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: I spoke with Arthur you know Smith um this morning

40
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: about that, you know, so they'll be aware of him

41
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: and just try to limit the amount of touches. Darius

42
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: Williams is full go. He's been cleared you know, for

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: for everything. So I would be exciting to get him

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: out there. BT, but oars another one that's that's good

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: to go. We'll try to ramp up his reps throughout

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: the course of the week, uh, Devin. You know, if

47
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: the week progresses, you know, obviously in his favor and

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: our favor, then then he'll see some time in this game,

49
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, and which is what we need to see.

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: Jack's good. Jack's good. Um. Obviously he's the one that

51
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: probably won't play in the game, but but definitely get

52
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: some practice time, you know, these next couple of days. Yeah, yeah,

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: if Paki because he oh, he's another one that's gonna

54
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: gonna miss. He'll miss practice and then he'll miss he'll

55
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: be more kind of healing that that calf and then

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: um won't play in the game. Talk about Rayshawn Jenkins,

57
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: he's kind of been like in and out the last

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: week or so. Yeah, okay, yeah, you know, he's fine. Um.

59
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: You know, we're also seeing some looks from different different guys,

60
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: some younger players there too, But yeah, he's he's good

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: performance rather than it's about about some of the young guys.

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: The ankle has been fine. Um, he hasn't had any

63
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: issues with that. You know, we've been smart with him obviously,

64
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's just it's a matter of just seeing

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: some of these young guys behind him and um, seeing

66
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: what they can do. You don't playing any starters. The

67
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: plan is not to if we don't have to. But

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: I always know going into these games that that, uh,

69
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta have some guys in some emergency roles,

70
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, just in case there's you know, something happened. So, um,

71
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: some of the starters will probably be in uniform. Yes,

72
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: So tomorrow is the big physical practice with Tomorrow is

73
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: the pad a day, um, you know, to be be

74
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: a physical day. Nothing live obviously again talking with with

75
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: coach Smith up there, and and we just both of

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: us want to get good work done, you know, and

77
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: and and compete and and you know see our teams

78
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: against other opponents and um, you know, I'm looking forward

79
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: to that. And then we're just helmets and shells on

80
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Thursday and separate on Friday. There could a guy who

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: shows out pretty going. The practices change your mind. Is

82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: there a dead enough time to change your mind? Like

83
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: a roster roster bubble? Yeah, you know, I think We've

84
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: got a pretty good idea right now. But you know, um,

85
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: I told the team this morning, this is gonna be

86
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: a big week for for a lot of guys, you know,

87
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: and they also too, they gotta understand that not just

88
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: our team, but thirty one other teams are are are watching,

89
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, our roster as well and and seeing who

90
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: who's gonna make the fifty three who's not because there's

91
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of a lot of our players

92
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: and they get picked up if if they're not here,

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: you know. But you know, it's it's a great opportunity

94
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,559
Speaker 1: for for many players, you know, especially the young guys

95
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: to practice well and obviously play well in this football game,

96
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, um, because they could end up end up

97
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: on a roster. It may not be here, but it

98
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: could be somewhere. Concerning it for you two and a

99
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: half weeks out from the season over there that you

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: not settled kickers as well, Um, two thousand seventeen, we

101
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: tried out six guys week one and settled on Jake

102
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: Elliott and he kicked all the way through to the

103
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So I had some experience there, mccarth. Do

104
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: you see this week is is still you know, continuation

105
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: of that battle, and you kind of want to have

106
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: that settled. You're not going into the week and getting

107
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: ready what we want. Yeah, I think there's still some

108
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: competition there. Um, But as we get into more game

109
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: weeks at Washington, UM, you know it'll be it'll be

110
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: solidified and you know, whoever that is, we'll be taking

111
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: all the reps at that spot. So these are these

112
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: next two days the game. Um. You know, as much time,

113
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: if they get any, is important, you know, for for

114
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, sort of seeing who those five guys are

115
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna be hand the camp that you wanted and needed him.

116
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: He did, he did. Um. You know, one thing I

117
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: like about Trevor's where he's at two is he's still

118
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: he's still growing, he's still learning. You know. The hardest

119
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: thing is, you know, he's three head coaches, three coordinators,

120
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: three position coaches in three years and and so there's

121
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: been a lot of turnover and change and he's really

122
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: handled it extremely well, very mature, um, you know, and

123
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: it's just still a work in progress. But you know,

124
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: we go slow. He understands, you know, even when we

125
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: show him on tape what he's doing and or what

126
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: he's not doing and um, he makes the corrections and

127
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: and and moves on. So yeah, I'm I'm encouraged by

128
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: where he's at right now. Do people not understand how

129
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: much of a stut you with that is when you're

130
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: changing offenses and changing coaches and coordinators. Yeah, I think

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: I think some people don't understand the magnitude of that.

132
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's not just about you know, everybody's going

133
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: to have the same past concepts, right, the same routes

134
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: and you know, lines on the page and all that,

135
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: but it's how teams call them, what the terminology, the verbiage,

136
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: and and learning that and then on top of that,

137
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, we're putting a bunch of situational stuff on

138
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: top of that. Plus he's hearing it from for me

139
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: or you know, Press Taylor, Mike McCoy, you know, and

140
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: then and then we're playing these games and he's trying

141
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: to study defense and it just it's not an overnight

142
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: fix or a process, you know, and it takes some time,

143
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: and he's handled it well, you know, and um, he

144
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 1: grows every day, you know, And that's the encouraging part.

145
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: I know, sometimes people don't want to hear that it

146
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: takes time, but it does, you know. I mean it

147
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: was two years you know in Philly before things really

148
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: took off for us, you know, so I'm not saying

149
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be two years, but just knowing that we're

150
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: hitting in the right direction. What's art and key like

151
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: is a first thing is that he made is a

152
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: He's unbelievable. He's he's just got a great personality. Um.

153
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: He's excitable. Um comes in the building every day just

154
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: in a good mood all the time. And he's just

155
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: it's just hard to explain, but he UM great teammate.

156
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: Um works hard, it's a good leader. Um does everything

157
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: you ask him to do. And and uh, um, it's

158
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: it's fun to have guys like that at your roster,

159
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, to kind of kind of keep things lighting

160
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: and energetic. I know it's looking ahead a bit, but

161
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: do you take an easy on the next week once

162
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: the hunch are done? Now now, Um, we'll have three

163
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: really good days next week to still evaluate. It's one

164
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: more week of training camp. But but we also want to,

165
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe focus on our first one to three opponents,

166
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, something like that. But you know, it's it's

167
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: a little more of an in season schedule for the

168
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: guys now that we've kind of broke camp and but

169
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: at the same time, we still want to push him

170
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it may come down to next week,

171
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, for for a couple of these battles. So

172
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: it's it's still an important week. How far behind this

173
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: he how hard a pint is a rookie win an

174
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: injury like that kind of lingers, It's hard to say

175
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: until we see him in live action. You know. That's

176
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: why this week can be important for him to get

177
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: out there and and just try to increase his reps

178
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: each day and then hopefully get some time in the

179
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: game and just see where he's at. I know he

180
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: takes all the mental reps and he he's in there

181
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: during the walkthroughs in the afternoon with the defense and

182
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: making calls and and all that. But you know, when

183
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: things get sped up is where you know, where things

184
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 1: can kind of get sideways. So we just need to

185
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: see him out there this week and hopefully in the game.

186
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: After seeing Christian Kirk's performance, reviewing it as you feel

187
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: like he did he did well. You know, he's he's

188
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the things that Trevor can I

189
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: think count on with him and he's gonna be in

190
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: the right place, you know, on the field, and he's

191
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna do the right thing. And that's that's a confidence

192
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: level for your quarterback. And he's a pro at it.

193
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: He works hard at it. Um. You know, hadn't been

194
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: a game week the week before, he would have he

195
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: would have played, you know, my decision to keep him

196
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: out of that that game. But yeah, he's uh, um,

197
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: he's in a good spot too, and and uh, you know,

198
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: we just got to keep him in Trevor on the

199
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: same page and and just find more ways to get

200
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: them open. You feel like with with the tight ends

201
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: you have in the room, particularly with with with Evan

202
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: and Dan, that you've got a sort of a committee

203
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: thing going and being as productive as anybody else. Yeah.

204
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: I like our tight end room. Um mix of kind

205
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: of youth and some old guys in there. And um,

206
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, you take Devin, Dan and Evan, uh, two

207
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: more athletic you know, route runner type tight ends that

208
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: you know could possibly create a match up here and there,

209
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: mixed with you know Chris and his his ability to

210
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: to block and Luke's doing the same thing, and it's

211
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: a it's a good room, and it's a it's a

212
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: it's a versatile room, you know. And and it doesn't

213
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: keep you sort of locked into two certain things offensively

214
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: that you want to get done. Um and uh, you know,

215
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with with using tight ends, you know, in

216
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: my career having played with a bunch of tight ends

217
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: and the coaching him and uh, this is a good

218
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: it's a good group. As a follow up, it seems

219
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: like this receiver group you would have, seems that seems

220
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: to do a pretty good job when it comes to blocking,

221
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: because this franchise in the last four or five years

222
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: on wide receiver screens as it just hasn't the yard.

223
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: It just hasn't been there. Yeah, part of it is that.

224
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: And how you feel about that, Well, look, I mean

225
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: it takes eleven uh players, and we we pride ourselves

226
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: on blocking, you know, with the with the receivers and

227
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: on the on the perimeter, whether they have to dig

228
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: dig out of safety sometimes a linebacker corners, you know,

229
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: and and and we make it a point of emphasis

230
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: with them because we know that too. They reward is

231
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: what they can they can score a touchdown in the

232
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: past game, but sometimes it's rewarding to make that key

233
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: block down the field to to spring your running back

234
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: or something like that. So we're going to continue to

235
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, educate our players on that, um, letting them

236
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: to understand that, you know, part of part of playing foot,

237
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to get in there and get get

238
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: kind of dirty, you know, with with some of the

239
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: blocking schemes. Are you looking forward to seeing defensively how

240
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: you guys handle kile Pits and the kind of challenge

241
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: that he presented, Yeah, you know, I mean those are

242
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: things you'd look for, you know, in in these these

243
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: practices you know, coming up and and uh, it'll be

244
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: interesting to just for me the first time to really

245
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: kind of see him in person run routes and the

246
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: type of athlete he is and and I've heard some

247
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: great things about him, and it'll be it'll be a

248
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: challenge for our defense too, you know. And again not

249
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: not scheming necessarily, but just watching, you know, and and

250
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: seeing seeing how they they use him, you know, offensively,

251
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: but how we try to defend and how we're gonna

252
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, who we're gonna put over there, whatever it

253
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: might be. Uh, Yeah, it's gonna be fun this week.

254
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: How important has it been to see that kind of

255
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: production you guys have seen from the pastor sofore, even

256
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: it's just pre season. Once it's good, you know, and

257
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: again you know you're you're you're still not game planning anything,

258
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: but you're you just want to see athletics is him

259
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: and see get off you know, and all that and

260
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: and pushing the pocket, particularly on third down. And it's

261
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: been good to see the production that we've had there.

262
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: You know, anytime you can just even disrupt the timing

263
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: of a quarterback or at least put somebody back in

264
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: his lap, you know, just throw the timing off, you know,

265
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: and rhythm off. And our guy has been able to

266
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: do that, you know, um, you know these first three games,

267
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: and and something that uh as we get going, you know,

268
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: and scheme up a little bit more, I think utilizing

269
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: our versatility at some positions better, maybe
