1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy M one oh five three the fan coach,

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: How are you doing well? Good morning, Sean r J.

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: I had a question for you. Would you play a

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: coach like Bill Belichick, a guy who has all the rings,

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: all the titles, you know, all the accolades. Do you

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: feel this as a as a special challenge for yourself? Um?

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I mean, I think it's only natural. Absolutely.

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at this, this opportunity, um,

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, especially where we are as a football team,

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: you know the step that we want to take Sunday,

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: this is an important step. But yeah, definitely, I mean,

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: every everybody that's part of this opportunity, everybody has a

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: chance to compete, and particularly and we're still in the

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: preparation mode. It's yeah, there's a there's a lot of

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: personal um, you know, ambition and excitement that goes into

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: each and every opportunity. And definitely there's no different this week.

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: What are some of his attributes coach that you've come

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: to respect the most over time, Like we think he's

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: always going to come up with some genius defensive game

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: plan or find something within the rules to capitalize on.

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: What are some of the things that you admire the

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: most about Bill his ability to have continued success. That that's,

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: to me is the biggest challenge in this league. I mean,

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: we're all obviously fighting to have the successful season, but

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: to do it as long as he's done it at

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: the level he's done it is so impressive. And you know,

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: it really starts with the way his teams play each

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: and every week. I mean, he has a clear identity

29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: and play style. How they play, um they do. I

30
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: mean that they're they're philosophical and their approach as far

31
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: as you know, how their offense um you know, gets

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: in and out of game plans. You know, can swing

33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: from one end to the other. You know, based on

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: who they're playing. Their defense does a really good job

35
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: of matching personnel and really trying to combat your your

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: most productive concepts. And this is clearly will be our

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: toughest challenge of the year for our special teams. You

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: know that they have five veteran players with a tremendous

39
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: amount of experience and expertise um that lead their special

40
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: teams units. So this will be a huge, huge opportunity

41
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: for our special teams. The importance of special teams coach,

42
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: do you still view it as as important as you

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: did maybe ten or fifteen years ago. With some of

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: the different rule changes and you're not getting the return

45
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: game as much and the and the way kickers have

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: have progressed. Do you view special teams as just as

47
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: important as you always have? I mean I do, because

48
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: to win championships you have to win in December and

49
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: January football, and with that you have the you know,

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: you have the possibility of the probability of playing in

51
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: outdoor and out their climates. And you know, I think

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: clearly with this opportunity Sunday, it's a Northeast football team. Um.

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: You know that has clearly put the highest priority on

54
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: special teams, you know, from a personnel acquisition and resources

55
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: and UM and I and I think it's just something

56
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: that you know, obvious experienced in the past. But you know,

57
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: no one's better than no one's not better than the

58
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: New England Patriots is as far as the commitment to

59
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: special teams and and once again it's the winning the

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: later months of the season. It's definitely a factor. Mike

61
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: McCarthy here on the fan. One of the things we

62
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: always talk about with New England. I'm sure other teams

63
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: do it obviously, but we always highlight Belichick who's he

64
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: going to focus on to take out of the game?

65
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Who is he not going to let beat you? Is

66
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: that one of the things that you start your game

67
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: planning prep with? And is that is that unique to

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: New England or that many other teams do that more

69
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: than we think and know? Yeah, definitely, I mean it's

70
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: it's a weekly it's a you know, weekly variable. That's

71
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's a forefrontier game plan. You know, we

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: come in on Mondays. We we spend probably more time

73
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: than more time than most on correcting the last contests.

74
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: You know. Ever, we all believe in self Scott as

75
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: coaches in this league, I'm sure, but you know, I

76
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: think it's like anything, how much time and energy that

77
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: you put towards it is really reflective of you know,

78
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: how much you know using your game plan. So we

79
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: we spend that time you know, during the day on

80
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: on the self Scott and what our players. But that's

81
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: when we when we kick it over to the next opponent,

82
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, matchups and you know, the things that we're

83
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: doing well and how we think this opponent views us

84
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: and is really the starting point of eaching every game

85
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: plan every week. Who was your coaching idol? My coaching idol? Yeah,

86
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: Chuck Noll. No, old Pittsburgh days, old Pittsburgh, you know

87
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: growing up there. You know, um, four super Bowls and

88
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: you know the great teams of the seventies. That was

89
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: all see the word my childer. Yeah, I mean he

90
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: carried that Terry Bradshaw to a title. Right, excuse me,

91
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: I'll just joke. I said he carried Terry Bradshaw to

92
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: a couple of titles. R J thinks Terry Bradshaw's overrated,

93
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: Mike just so you know, and Montana and Brady, Well,

94
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: that's so much Brady Montana though, but definitely Mike MacArthur

95
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: Jonas here one five three the fan. Uh have you

96
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: just see that? You see he didn't get a laugh

97
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: or chuckle or a react because he doesn't want to

98
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: say that. I'm right. Uh, this is uh, this is

99
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: Dak's second time facing New England. Um, have you noticed

100
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: a leap in quarterbacks and how they play against a

101
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: bill defense the second or maybe even third time they

102
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: play him? Mike? Oh, maybe maybe that's why he didn't respond.

103
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: Did straight hang up? Here? You go? Here a click

104
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: uh so, so now all of a sudden, you bail

105
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: on your Brady's overrated thing. Well, he's overrated if you

106
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: if you put the number one, yeah, but if he's

107
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: put the number three's of them rated. Yeah. So I

108
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: was wondering. There was no laugh, no reaction. I was like, oh,

109
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: you went to uh you went to his childhood days.

110
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: So you went to the old school going at the

111
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: Steelers and uh and Terry Bradge and there you go.

112
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: R j Owy finally gets us in trouble here with

113
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: with Mike McCarthy. So we'll see if we get coached back.

114
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: Go ahead, all right, coach, I got you? Yeah, what happened?

115
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess you heard my Steelers taken

116
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: you hung up the phone. I thought maybe like my answer,

117
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: we didn't hear the don't hear it was deadly quiet.

118
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: We're like, we just we just got canceled. There you go,

119
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: it's over. What was your what was your answer? You

120
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: know what what part Chuck? Did you get the Chuck

121
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: Noll part? Oh yeah we got we got yeah, Chuck

122
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: Mole was your your your your your coaching idol? Right? Yeah,

123
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: that was it? That was it. That's kind of went

124
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: out on mind. Okay, all right, very good, very good. Yeah,

125
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: let's we'll leave it at that. We don't need we

126
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: don't need to talk about the rest of the stuff. Yeah,

127
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: the great games there obviously with the Cowboys of the Steelers. Yeah. Um,

128
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: so code this is like, you know, this is Dak's

129
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: second game against a Belichick coached a defense. Yes, um,

130
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: have you noticed a leap that that quarterbacks take the

131
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: the second or even third time around they face the

132
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: Patriots just because they're more accustomed to some of the

133
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: looks he might give. Oh no, that's an excellent question.

134
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: I think the league comes more, you know, in a

135
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: series of games. You know, I clearly understand why you're asking,

136
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, the metric that they bring to the contest.

137
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think you have to look at the

138
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: last contest, you know, two years ago, in the rain

139
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: and all the other elements involved. You know, hopefully it's

140
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: looks like the weather it's going to be a clear,

141
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: clear night Sunday. So um, but yeah, I think this

142
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: will be a great metric for our whole offense. You know,

143
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: we're we're playing the right way. I love the you know,

144
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: the the complimentary football we're playing as a as a

145
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: football team, and you know the offense is ability to

146
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: be balanced. So this this will be this will be

147
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: our biggest challenge schematically this year. From the defensive side,

148
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,559
Speaker 1: you know, they've got a couple of you know, pretty

149
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: decent tight ends, uh more sight ends. The most teams

150
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: do have decent ones. Is is this is a different

151
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: matchup when you have to face you know, but arguably

152
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: they're two best receivers or two of their three best

153
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: are on the tight end spot. Well, I think it's

154
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: just it's part of their personality on you know, their

155
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: football team. I mean they've they've always you know, valued

156
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: the tight end position, you know, very highly, and it

157
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: fits with the way they want to play. I mean,

158
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, this team is about defense and special teams

159
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: as their starting point. We all clear under store understand

160
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: that they've had a great quarterback for decades up there,

161
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, But um, you know the defensive philosophy and

162
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: the special teams is is something that you know you're

163
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: always going to contend with when you when you play

164
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots. So, um, I think the tight end position

165
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: clearly it fits with the way they want to play.

166
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: We'll see more two back offense um this week than

167
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: we've we've seen, you know, the whole season. And you know,

168
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: to me, when you do breakdown offense, it's really breaks

169
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: down in three categories, you know, one back, two backing,

170
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: in certain no backs. So the two back schemes that

171
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: that we'll see this week gets funny, aregu when it

172
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: goes up in the gameplayers they call him old school?

173
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: You know, old old school plays now, so it's uh,

174
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just you know, they've played this

175
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: way for a long time and it serves them very well.

176
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, here was Seawan and RJ on one oh

177
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: five three the Fan. How concerned have you guys been

178
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: about the snaps coach? We had heard that you were

179
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: working in mcgoverning Connor Williams a little bit at practice.

180
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: Are you still sticking with Beadish and how confident are

181
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: you that? How much does that really disrupt things as

182
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: a QB guy, if it's like a little bit off

183
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: for Dak or a tiny bit low, does that really

184
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: throw off the rhythm of a play? Well? I mean definitely.

185
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: I mean the quarterbacks change is the starting point of

186
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: every offensive play. I mean, it has to be clean.

187
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: U TI full confidence in in Tyler and um, he's

188
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: doing very well. I feel like he's still growing as

189
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: a young player, but we need to be cleaner there.

190
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about all three centers. So it's definitely

191
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: an emphasis. Uh. You know it has it has reared

192
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: it's it's head a few times, and you know it's

193
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: it's definitely a focus for us because you know, you

194
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: look at this last week's game. Um, you know, you're

195
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: you got an excellent rhythm going and you're you're driving

196
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: down the field, and then you have the you know,

197
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: you have the fumbles, the fumblesno for a turnover. So

198
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: it's we work on it every day, which is which

199
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: is normal, but definitely we're aware of the the two

200
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: or three players that we need to be better at.

201
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: How much has Diggs been lobbying you with all this

202
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: talk this week? Uh? And and where do you stand

203
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: on him being able to play a little wide receiver.

204
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: We're it's funny and the winning breeds a lot of this.

205
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I've actually had a few defensive guys wanted to play

206
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: offense this week, but hell, if I was them, I

207
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: don't want to play him offense too. I mean, it's

208
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: it's it's a fun offense to be a part of.

209
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would I think Trayvon will stick with

210
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: him at corner. Right now, it's obviously off to a

211
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: tremendous start. What's been your history of a coach. Have

212
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: you have you had a guy that you've used on

213
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, or a guy that

214
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: you you almost did it, you came very close or

215
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: have you have you never? Have you never made that

216
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: made that adjustment or addition. No, We've had players. Bill

217
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: Carter was the first player that I was around it

218
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: that we moved over on offense for before a series,

219
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, a series of games back in Kansas City.

220
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: You know, he was you know that that type of

221
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, just a phenomenal athlete, uh, that could play

222
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: both offense and defense. But you know, I've only done

223
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: it more, you know, in the terms of situational plays

224
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: and things like that. Coach. We love Tyrant Smith, future

225
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, But we saw that he was added

226
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: to the injury report with a neck. Is that something

227
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: that we should be worried about or something minor where

228
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: he'll be good to go on Sunday? Um, I'm thinking

229
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: We're going to be fine there. We'll see how tiring

230
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: is today when he when he when he comes in.

231
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's something that showed up in practice listening

232
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: and Diggs did not practice. Are you confident in him

233
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: going with the ankle. He just needs to keep progressing.

234
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: If he keeps making progress, I think I'll think he'll

235
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: be ready to go. Mike McCarthy here on DFW Sports
