1 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: How we're doing, guys. Apology for being late? Can you 2 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,239 Speaker 1: just guys, what's your approach is going to bag this 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: afternoon with the blue Blue White scrimmage, And yeah, it's 4 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: a blue white scrimmage. We'll rehearse the pregame at the 5 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: outset of it, so we'll get a chance to have 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: a run through that before Thursday night. Then we'll get 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: into what appears to be like a normal practice with 8 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: some with an inside run and play action period and 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: a seven on seven period. Uh, and then we'll get 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: into special teams, and then we'll get into some stuff 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: that's more competitive. The temple of the competitive part will 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: be very similar to what you've seen already. We'll do 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: red zone. We'll do two minute for each of the groups, 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: depending on the availability of guys as we go. We'd 15 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: like to get as much working as we can, but 16 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: we're mindful that we don't want to go all day 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: long and run guys into the ground. We don't want 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: depleted groups. Who want groups that can go out there 19 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: and function. So we'll play that by year as we go, 20 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: but there'll be a red a red zone segment to 21 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: that in a two minute segment to that, and then 22 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: after that we'll get a chance to give the young 23 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: guys a chance to go out and have a drive. 24 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: And this is really the second time in training camp 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: that we'll have guys tackle and practice. So it'll be 26 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: the young players, guys who haven't played in NFL games before, 27 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: and more of a scrimmage like setting. We'll tackle the backs, 28 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: we'll tackle the receivers, won't we won't tackle the quarterback, 29 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: but we'll just play the situations out. It'll be like 30 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: a scrimmage. We'll punt, we'll kick field goals, we'll do 31 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: all the things in the kicking game that apply to 32 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: that drive. And again, the goal is is to maximize 33 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: the opportunity today, put them in a little more of 34 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: a competitive setting, and get a chance to see the 35 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: young guys play closer to what normal football is. We 36 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: give us an update on Cheetos injury situation. Yeah, we 37 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: think Cheeto is gonna be okay. We'll take a situation 38 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: day by day, but we think he's gonna be all right. Yeah, 39 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: when you look at a gall like Mike White in 40 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: the scrimmage, is this kind of his first chance to 41 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: kind of show you him and start I guess you know, 42 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: people ask me that question a lot, and really what 43 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: you do is you evaluate guys with every opportunity they get. 44 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: You know, we've been evaluating him all the way back 45 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: to rookie Mini camp and how he handled himself, and 46 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: then certainly the OTAs and the mini camp when the 47 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: Vets got got here, and then similarly when we got 48 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: out here to training camp. So there's these different steps 49 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: as we go. But to your point, this will be 50 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: the first competitive type situation that we're going to have. 51 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: Now we talk all the time, we like to have 52 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: competitive parts to practice every day. But this is that 53 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: next step before the next step, which will be the 54 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: first preseason game on Thursday. So you'd like to see 55 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: how everybody responds regards of their position, or you try 56 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: to put him in these situations and just find out 57 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: more about them. Speaking of putting people in situations, you've 58 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: had Dan Bailey last couple of practices kick field goals 59 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: at the end. He hasn't been successful. It's hard to 60 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: have you wait kickers. But if you're just gonna just 61 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: gonna keep putting him out there, or is there some 62 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: concern there about some of the things you saw last 63 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: year maybe carry over to this year. Yeah, I don't 64 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: think there's real concern there, you know, with Dan, you know, 65 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: it's the body of work, and he's been such a 66 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: good player for us for so long. He's made so 67 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: many big kicks throughout his career, and he's had a 68 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: good camp. He's striking the ball well, he had I 69 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: think he had a miss yesterday, But you know, I 70 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: think I think he feels good about the operation. I 71 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: think he's hitting the ball well. You know, he like 72 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: everybody else. As we get into the preseason games, they'll 73 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: get some work. Hopefully they do some things that are positive. 74 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: They feel good about the rhythm and we make some 75 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: kicks and we feel good about him going into the 76 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: start of the season. But he's been he's been such 77 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: a good player for us for a long long time, 78 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: so feel very confident what he can do. Anythink you 79 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: guys could pinpoint as to why he struggled towards the end. 80 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Was any of it the first time he had a 81 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: leg injury, just trusting it again to Yeah, I think 82 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: that probably was it more than anything else. H You know, 83 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: a leg for a kicker is like an arm for 84 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and you know legs for runners and you 85 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: know that that's really the most important part of his 86 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: body to be able to execute his skill. And you know, 87 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: Dan such a tough guy that you know he wanted 88 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: to get back out there. I'm not quite so sure 89 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: he was healthy, and that can have an impact on 90 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: how you performed. So again, we keep going back to 91 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: the body of work he's had for us. He's been 92 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: as good as it gets in the National Football League 93 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: over the last seven eight years kicking the football, So 94 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: we feel great about him. Can you remember when he's 95 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: been this inconsistent camp in the preseason for Seed? When 96 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: you consider the world bload won the regular season, we 97 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: haven't really gotten into that. You know, we'll have more 98 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: discussions about who plays and how much they play and 99 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: what we want to do with them as we get 100 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: closer to the games. Yeah, don't anticipate Zeke getting a 101 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of work in the preseason, similar to what 102 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: we've done with our running backs in the past. Back 103 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: to Dan Bailey, can you remember a camp where he's 104 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: struggled with some inconsistencies the way that he has at 105 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: this camp? Again, I don't see it being very drastic. 106 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: He misses a kick here and there. But he's a 107 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: pretty good kicker, and I think again we go back 108 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: to the operation. I think he feels good about the operation. 109 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: I think he's striking the ball well. And we'll keep 110 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: putting him, just like will everybody else in competitive situations 111 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: as we go and hopefully he'll continue to get better. 112 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: But he's been a great kicker for us for a 113 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: long time. It's Antoine Woods, one of those guys that's 114 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 1: kind of you know, and he started at a certain 115 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: point maybe on your depth chart, but through practice you're 116 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, you always talk about him. I'm gonna give 117 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: a guy an opportunity if he's playing well. He threw 118 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: him out there with the ones yesterday, talk about him 119 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: in the goal line period and maybe some of those 120 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: things when you're evaluating your fast he's doing a really 121 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: good job. He's showing up and and you said it, 122 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: you want to create opportunities for guys, and you want 123 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: them to earn them and earn more opportunities. He's certainly 124 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: a good example of that so far. You know, he's 125 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: just he's really strong, he plays with very good leverage. 126 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: He's just disruptive. He's disruptive in the running game. He's 127 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: disruptive getting to the quarterbacks. He makes a lot of 128 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: plays and he shows up and he did show up 129 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: in the goal line period yesterday, and uh, you know, 130 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: we believe very strongly in that it really doesn't matter 131 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: where you came from, it matters what you're doing. And 132 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: he's a he's a good example of that right now. 133 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: So it has to keep it going as the Chartist 134 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: boys also had a good practice yesterday. And you talk 135 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: about where he is for you and what do Yeah, again, 136 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: it's it's the same idea that doesn't really matter where 137 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: where you came from, it's just you know what you're doing. 138 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: And h we have to uh be really objective and 139 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: how we evaluate guys as we go and uh forget 140 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: about what their history is, what are they doing now 141 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: and going forward? And uh, he certainly showed up as 142 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: well last three in his foot stream at all. Uh. 143 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: You know, Terrence has done a really good job. We 144 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: feel like throughout his rehab in the spring he was 145 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: handling it the right way and we feel like he's 146 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: off to a really good start in training camp. Uh, 147 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna be very deliberate with him. You're gonna see 148 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: him practice and you're gonna see him be more limited, 149 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: and then you're gonna see him not practice as he 150 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: continues to come back. And you know, one of the 151 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: things when you're coming back from an injury like that, 152 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: as you have to listen to your body. So it's 153 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: important that you know if he does have pain for 154 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: whatever reason, he says it out loud, we hear it 155 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: and then we respond accordingly. But every time he's got 156 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: an opportunities, he's played awfully well for us. So off 157 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: to a good start in the last either play it 158 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: out or situational work. Do you guys do with your team? 159 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: Das miss nine straight passes? What's what's up with the 160 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: passing game here? The last tie? Have you seen anything that? Yeah, 161 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: we were in two minute the last couple of times, 162 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: and in each of the each of the times we 163 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: had sacks where we were away behind the chains, but 164 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: with a second and eighteen and a third and eighteen 165 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: and all of that, so that the percentage of throws 166 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: wasn't real high. To me, it's a great lesson for 167 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: all of us, just the importance of everybody's got a 168 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: piece of this thing and ball's got to come out. 169 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: We've got to protect well. You got to make a 170 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: lot of little plays in those situations. But oftentimes those 171 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: situations can become more challenging as you go because you're 172 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: kind of digging yourself out. It's not like, hey, we're 173 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: first and ten again and everything's clean. So, you know, 174 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: a good learning experience for him. You know, we've done 175 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 1: a good job on getting back on track in the past. 176 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: That's one of his strengths. When we played games a 177 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: couple of those situations, we didn't do quite as good 178 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: a job. You evaluate this offense is inability and practice 179 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: to find the in zone so far. You know, to me, 180 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: one of the best parts about practice the last few 181 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: days has been the offense is winning, the defense is winning. 182 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: The defense is winning, the offense is winning, and we've 183 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: really talked to our team and emphasized that a great deal, 184 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: the importance of continuing to play. Yesterday's practice was a 185 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: great example of that. If you look at the early 186 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: part of practice, when we did one of those challenge periods, 187 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: it was an interception right at the outset, big reaction 188 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: by the defense, the offense came back and won. Then 189 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: the offense in short yardage one eight straight plays in 190 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: a row went down to the goal line. Offense won 191 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: the first one, defense won the next three. So that's 192 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: a big part of what our game is. You know, 193 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: you're in those situations where the guy across from you 194 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: is good, the unit across from you as good. You 195 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: just got to keep playing. You gotta keep battling, and 196 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: that's a good thing. If every day we went in 197 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: there and watch the tape at night and one unit 198 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: was always winning everything, that's not really good for your team. 199 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: So we like it when it's back and forth. We 200 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: like it when it's a battle that's topally, when we 201 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: have our best practices, we try to create those competitive situations. 202 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: We think that helps our team. When you run the 203 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: tape back of Jalen Smith covering Cole Beasley twenty thirty 204 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: yards downfield, what's your primary impression of that rep that 205 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: he's doing a good job. Yeah, I mean Jaalen, as 206 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: we've talked many times from this podium, he's worked very 207 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: hard to get himself back physically, and I think you 208 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: see him more like himself now. His speed, his ability 209 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: to change direction, how spontaneous he's able to play, and 210 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: he's a tremendous competitor too. So you see all of that, 211 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: and I just think his confidence is growing given the 212 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: importance of reps with these new receivers and Dak. Obviously 213 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: you don't want to throw Dak out there too much 214 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: in the preseason, but would you throw them out there 215 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: a little bit more given that he does need to 216 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: sort of get this rhythm and timing down with some 217 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: of this new these new guys. Yeah, it's a great question. 218 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: We haven't had those discussions about how much guys are 219 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: going to play. Typically it's a progression where the starters 220 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: play very little in the beginning and then they play 221 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: more as the preseason goes on. So we'll get into 222 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: some of those specific conversations, but it is important for 223 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: those guys to play together. You want to just be 224 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: careful of putting them in situations where, um, you know, 225 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: it's ultimately not going to be productive for your team. 226 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: So you want to find your spots in practice in 227 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: those preseason games to get them quality work. Where you 228 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: guys are this year and not having the days waiting, 229 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: you guys have been around make those conversation say there, Uh, 230 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to think they've always been very thoughtful. Um, 231 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: they don't happen quite as early for you guys as 232 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: you'd like, um, But but we have thoughtful conversations. We 233 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: like to have a plan for for literally the number 234 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: of plays each guy plays, and sometimes you're not able 235 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: to achieve that, but we do have a land going 236 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: in and sometime to adjust as we go. But it's 237 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: really important to understand the value of these preseason games 238 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: and the value of you know, if a starting player 239 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: plays eight plays, those are important plays, then he builds 240 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: the next week. And so I'd like to think we've 241 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: always had those kind of conversations. Can you go into 242 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: with your goal line period yesterday, can you go into 243 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: maybe the staffs discussion of why you went with Scarborough 244 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: first as the as the primary back, and well, we're 245 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: tackling the back and so we wanted to see both 246 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: Scarborough and Jordan be the backs in those situations. We 247 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: didn't want to see Zeke Elliott, we didn't want to 248 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: see Rod Smith. So you eliminated those two. It was 249 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: just he said, okay, Scarborough was going to be the guy. 250 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: Let's let the young guys run it. And when you 251 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: have those discussions about who's going to play, will be 252 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: the first to know you absolutely be the first to know. 253 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, good to see you guys. Have a 254 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,359 Speaker 1: great Sunday.
