We start with head coach Kevin Stefanski, 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: who gave an injury update following Sunday's loss to the Bengals. 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 3: All Right, injury front, Deshaun, as you guys know, is 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 3: gonna have surgery on his achilles this week, so he's 11 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 3: out for the season. Dorian has that injury to his finger. 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 3: We'll kind of get some more information on that today 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 3: this week and we'll make some determinations this week, but 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 3: still have some. 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 4: More information to gather. 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 3: More opinions to gather on that one, so I can 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 3: update you guys later in the week. As you know, 18 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 3: just watching the tape, obviously frustrating not to play well 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 3: on all three sides of the ball, play well enough 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: to win on all three sides of the ball and 21 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: put that game together where we're going and doing those 22 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 3: things that look like. 23 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 4: Compliment or football. 24 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 3: So I got to do that and obviously got another 25 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 3: division game this week at our place. So that's our 26 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 3: focus and that's what we're working towards that. I'll take any. 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 5: Questions, Kevin, can you give a better explanation of why 28 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 5: dtr was activated ahead of Winston and did he get 29 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 5: enough practice time to be prepared for seeing action? 30 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of like we talked about yesterday, Tony. I 31 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: think going into the season, I felt like both guys 32 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: were worthy of being the backup quarterback. I told those 33 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 3: guys that early in the season. Felt like with not 34 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: having that short yardage package with Jamis in this last game, 35 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 3: felt like Dorian had acquitted himself well in practice and 36 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 3: in his preparation to make him the backup. 37 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 4: That's really that's the story. 38 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 5: And the other thing is it was the first time 39 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 5: we saw Deshaun on the snake. Why did you make 40 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 5: the decision that he would execute that play rather than Winston? 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 4: And during the week you made that decision obviously. 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, Again, that's something that Jamis obviously has done well 43 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: in his career, but not having him up in the game. 44 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 4: Then it just became DeShawn would do that. 45 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 6: Hey, Kevin, when it comes to Dorian or is the 46 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 6: information you're looking for whether or not he's going to 47 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 6: need surgery on the. 48 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 3: Finger, I'd say all the above. Just need to hear 49 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: from a couple other people. But I feel good about 50 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 3: him being available this season. 51 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 4: Is it this week? Is it next week? I just 52 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 4: need more information, gotcha? 53 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 6: And do you know which kind of surgery Deshaun's going 54 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 6: to have? Is he going to have the kind of 55 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 6: Rogers said, I. 56 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 4: Do not know. 57 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 7: I din just I guess what's the reaction from the 58 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 7: rest of the team to this over these last less 59 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 7: than twenty four hours now, just another obviously big personnel 60 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 7: loss for you guys with Deshan. 61 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's obviously. We're disappointed when we lose anybody, Ashley, 62 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: it's an injury that's a very very very unfortunate part 63 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 3: of our game. So it's tough. So we feel bad 64 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 3: for Deshaun in this case, feel bad to lose him 65 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: for the season. And we also know as a football team, 66 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 3: this is where you have to step up. Guys have 67 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: to step up, and that's just how it goes. 68 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 7: And then since you got asked about Dorian a little 69 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 7: bit already. But if it is Jamis that's starting next week, 70 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 7: just what you've seen from him in his time here 71 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 7: so far. 72 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jamis has done a nice job really going all 73 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: the way back to since he's gotten here, understanding how 74 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: we operate, what we do. 75 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 4: Feel really confident in Jamis as well. 76 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, I know you don't know yet, Kevin, if you 77 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 8: would start Dorian, but what because of the health of 78 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 8: his finger and everything, But what would be maybe some 79 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 8: reasons that you would want to see him more this season? 80 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 8: Do you guys have to figure out if he can 81 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 8: be your quarterback going forward or if he can compete 82 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 8: for a job. 83 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand the question. Mary Kay, I'm not really 84 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: there though. My thought process is really day to day 85 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: in this in this business right now, and so we'll 86 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: see how he comes out of this injury, see how 87 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: what the doctors say and that type of thing, and 88 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 3: then we'll make our decisions. 89 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 9: Hey, Kevin, more of a big picture question, if you 90 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 9: can look back to the being where do you think 91 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 9: this season went sideways when everybody expected so much from 92 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 9: you guys? 93 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand the question. Jeff, I'm not really in 94 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 3: that mode. Yet that's for end of the season type things. 95 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 3: I will tell you, this is sports, this is football 96 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 3: teaches you a lot about yourself. You don't always get 97 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: what you want. You put in a lot of work 98 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: and you don't always get that result you want, but 99 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: you just have to respond. 100 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 4: That's really where we're focused. 101 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 10: N I know, you know throughout the start of the 102 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 10: season you were defended and kind of supported Deshaan as 103 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 10: a starting quarterback in your opinion and your kind of 104 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 10: viewpoint on the team. Said he you expected for recovering. 105 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 10: When he does come back, is it still your belief 106 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 10: that he is this team starting quarterback. 107 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously I believe in the Sean, But I also 108 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: think it's important just to acknowledge that he just had 109 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: a bad injury and you know, bad break for him, 110 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: and we're feeling bad for him and know that he'll 111 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 3: bounce back. But not getting into all those things down 112 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: the road, I'm just saying I'm looking forward to him 113 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 3: getting the surgery and obviously getting his body back. 114 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 11: Yeah, Kevin, I want to go back to dtr as 115 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 11: the number two quarterback for a moment. You said yesterday 116 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 11: that the backup quarterbacks they don't get reps with ones 117 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 11: in practice. So my question is, how do you prepare 118 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 11: a guy for a potential package usage in a game 119 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 11: if they don't get those reps. One more time, Darryl, 120 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 11: I'm just wondering how you prepare dtr for that package 121 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 11: of reps that you said yesterday you thought about using 122 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 11: him and that's why you made the switch to elevate 123 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 11: him to the number two quarterback. Just how do you 124 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 11: prepare him for that if he's not getting those first 125 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 11: team reps in practice? 126 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to be clear than. 127 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 3: So ourt ones get the the all the reps in practice. 128 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 3: If there's a package of plays for a player, he 129 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 3: would get those reps in a practice. 130 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 4: This was not. 131 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 3: The decision to put Dorian as number two was not 132 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: because of a pack a certain package of plays. We 133 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 3: didn't have a specific set of plays for Dorian in 134 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: that game. We made him the backup quarterback so he 135 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: would serve in that role if there was an injury, 136 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 3: and obviously we were not hoping for that. That was 137 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: unfortunate how that played out, but it was really I 138 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: guess to be clear, Jamis had a short yardage package 139 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 3: in the previous weeks where he was going in so 140 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: he gets those reps in practice because we didn't have 141 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: that in and I felt like Dorian had done a 142 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 3: nice job and throughout practice, throughout really the spring and summer. 143 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: That really was the decision. It wasn't about any sort 144 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,559 Speaker 3: of package for Dorian. 145 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 11: Okay, thanks for clarifying that. And then I know you 146 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 11: said you don't want to reflect on big picture as 147 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 11: far as how and why this thing has gone the 148 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 11: way it has in the first seven games. My question 149 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 11: to you now is, considering where you're at right now, 150 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 11: how do you get this thing on track or keep 151 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 11: this from getting worse, both on the field as well 152 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 11: as you know, in the locker room with player frustrations 153 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 11: and things like that. 154 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think all anybody anytime, Daryl, when you when 155 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: you lose, uh, it's no fun. 156 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: There's there's pain in that. Uh. And and we don't 157 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 4: we don't love that feeling. 158 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: But our guys understand that our goal is just to win, 159 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: just just we want to win this game, this next 160 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 3: and all we can focus on, all we can control 161 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 3: is this next one. Can't do anything about what's happened 162 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 3: in the past. And and I think we have a 163 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: group that really understands that. 164 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 6: Kevin. 165 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 12: It's maybe a little similar to Daryl's question, but you know, 166 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 12: after the game yesterday, a lot of players were voicing 167 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 12: their frustrations with maybe the reaction from Deshawn's injury. So 168 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 12: I just wonder, as the head coach of this team, 169 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 12: what's the messaging to your players who may have been 170 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 12: extremely frustrated by that, making sure that that doesn't spiral 171 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 12: into anything more than more than it was. 172 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't Our guys are certainly supporting their teammate. 173 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 3: I understand the emotions of it. Like I mentioned yesterday, 174 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 3: I don't think there's a place for booing players that 175 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: are injured, whether it's your own team the opponents. I 176 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: think everybody understands that. And I also know that's not 177 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: everybody in that building. So, you know, disappointed, but we're 178 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 3: moving forward, all right. 179 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 12: And then on another note, Nick Chubb obviously his first 180 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 12: game back, he was limited in that second half. 181 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 4: How did he come out of that one? 182 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 12: And maybe what does the week look like for him 183 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 12: in terms of a workload preparation. 184 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, he came out, Okay. 185 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 3: I think it's important again that he, you know, builds 186 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 3: on this week and We'll see where it goes from there. 187 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 13: Kevin to just real quick questions. One, will you guys 188 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 13: sign another quarterback? Add another quarterback either to the active 189 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 13: roster or the or the practice squad. 190 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: I think yes, but not exactly sure where that. 191 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 4: Goes just yet. 192 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 13: Also, you mentioned Jack at the or the end of 193 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 13: what yesterday in the update on where he's at. Was 194 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 13: it just precautionary, just something you know, get him out 195 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 13: of the game. 196 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was dealing with something, but I think he 197 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 4: should be good to go. Hey, coach. 198 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 14: First off, just obviously another week where pre snap penalties 199 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 14: have been an issue for you guys. I know after 200 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 14: last week kind of asked to Sean, just like what 201 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 14: can you do differently but from your advantage point, Like 202 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 14: how much of that from a coaching standpoint, can can 203 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 14: you guys do to fix those problems that continue to 204 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 14: just kind of persist. 205 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's something that you emphasize and practice, You certainly 206 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 3: emphasize in meetings, you emphasize during the game. It's those 207 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: are totally self inflicted. Nothing that the defense is doing. 208 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: It's our guys, and it's not just one position, it's 209 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 3: it's multiple guys that have to understand that the way 210 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 3: they call the illegal shifts is you can't have two 211 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 3: guys moving at the same time, and we have to 212 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 3: be better and it really is ultimately my responsibility, but 213 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 3: it's responsibility of our coaches, our players to play within 214 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 3: these rules and how they're officiating them. 215 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 14: And then we know how much this offense was kind 216 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 14: of geared between you and Ken sort of dining it 217 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 14: for Deshaun throughout the off season. How much can you change? 218 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 14: Do you change if you go from Toshaun to Dorian 219 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 14: to Jamis What does that kind of look like? Is 220 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 14: there are different things you can sort of institute with 221 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 14: depending on who's under center. 222 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you have to do that as an offense. 223 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 3: Is you're always leaning into what your quarterbacks are most 224 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: comfortable with. So that'll be true certainly moving forward. 225 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 15: Hey, coach, I wanted to ask you about a specific play. 226 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 15: Jedwick Wilson to miss an assignment on that Dorian Thompson 227 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 15: Robinson sack and he threw his hands up in the air, 228 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 15: looked like he was expecting someone off the edge and 229 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 15: kind of let Trey Hendrickson come right through the line 230 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 15: and get to dtr Have you looked back on that play, 231 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 15: and if you did, like, what exactly did you see 232 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 15: on that play? 233 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 4: Yeah? 234 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 3: I have you know, I don't as you can imagine, 235 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 3: we make corrections in the building with our players and 236 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 3: that type of thing. Obviously that's not what we want 237 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 3: to do on that play. We need to be better. 238 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, Kevin, how hard was it to get a true 239 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 8: read on Deshaun's value and worth this season? And do 240 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 8: you feel like you really know who he is as 241 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 8: a quarterback at this point in his career? 242 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand the question, Mary Kay and and and 243 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 3: I you know, I feel badly for DeShawn with this injury. 244 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: You know, this is a tough, tough break for him, 245 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: but I know he will bounce back. But he's been 246 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 3: a great contributor to this football team, both in the 247 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 3: locker room, on the practice field, on the game field. 248 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: And we'll just support him as he rehaps from that injury. 249 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 8: But can you assess it all? 250 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 13: How? 251 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 8: I mean, how well he played for you under very 252 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 8: trying circumstances with so much going on around him and 253 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 8: him And do you believe that if some things were different, 254 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 8: could he fare better out there on the field. 255 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 4: Yeah? 256 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: And again I'm disappointed that it's only X number of 257 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 3: games that he's able to play this season, but I 258 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 3: do think we know what he's about. I know what 259 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: he brings to the table for this football team. 260 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: Next up was wide receiver Cedric Tillman, and he talked 261 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: about Nick Chubb's return. 262 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 14: Is Cedric, obviously chance for you to start yesterday with 263 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 14: DeShawn or sorry with a Mari obviously getting traded, But 264 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 14: what did you think of just the performance from your 265 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 14: standpoint and how things kind of operated with the offense. 266 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 16: You know, for me personally, I just wanted to go 267 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 16: out there and you know, play the best ball I 268 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 16: could and what that man is locking down on details, 269 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 16: trying to be at the right spots and make the 270 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 16: players for my team and give one hundred percent efforts. 271 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 4: So that's just what I was focused on. 272 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 14: And then we talked so much.

Is 307 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 6: that the biggest reason you think there was such a 308 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 6: difference in your production from the first few games till yesterday? 309 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 16: You know, I'm not sure, you know, this year I've 310 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 16: tried to I kind of said earlier during camp, but 311 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 16: I've just kind of tried to take a different approach. 312 00:14:59,440 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 4: You know. 313 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: Obviously, with Coop being here, you know, uh, you know, 314 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: he was a. 315 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 16: Little bit more involved, but win him not here, you know, 316 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 16: gave me a little bit more opportunity. So I'm just 317 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 16: trying to keep you know, climbing from that. 318 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 6: And you know, I know you're close to Dorian and 319 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 6: he talked that to the game how he thought his 320 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 6: performance yesterday reminded him of that first start last year 321 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 6: against the Ravens. So how did you see him kind 322 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 6: of get past that last year? And how can you 323 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 6: use that whenever he plays next if the finger's good 324 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 6: and he plays this week. 325 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, Dorian is a competitor. 326 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 4: We all know. 327 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 16: I've been playing with Dorian for a long time, So 328 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 16: you know how it took last game was you know, 329 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 16: it was his first game really out there so you know, 330 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 16: we'll all we'll all continue to get better. 331 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 8: And yeah, yeah, just wondering, you know, now that we 332 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 8: know Deshaun is out for the season, what what did 333 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 8: you think of the season that he had? What do 334 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 8: you think the outlook would be like for him when 335 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 8: he comes back from this surgery. 336 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 16: It was definitely tough. You know, you never want to 337 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 16: see one of your brothers go down, especially now with 338 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 16: that type of injury.

I'm sure 349 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 15: this path has been anything but straight, but how good 350 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 15: did it feel to kind of make your imprint on 351 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 15: this team? Sunday? 352 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 16: I felt good, But obviously I've learned in my you know, 353 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 16: short career, so Final League. You know, you can never 354 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 16: get too high or too low. So you know, I'm 355 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 16: just trying to be consistent. And I've already watched yesterday's 356 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 16: game away and I'm ready for Baltimore. 357 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 14: Off of sort of Justin's question, you know, just over 358 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 14: the course of year one to this year and as 359 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 14: you start to get more opportunities, given you know, the 360 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 14: Amari trade, just what do you think is maybe the 361 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 14: biggest thing you've you've kind of learned as you you know, 362 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 14: step into a bigger role with this with this team, 363 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 14: in this offense. 364 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 4: We just have to be consistent. 365 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 16: And I know, I know it's not a good thing 366 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 16: to say right now because offense hasn't looked the way 367 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 16: that you know, we wanted to look, but we got 368 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 16: to figure it out. We're in this together. But terms 369 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 16: of what I've learned is that we got to be consistent. 370 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 16: Because we're not consistent, you don't do what you're supposed 371 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,479 Speaker 16: to do, you lose ball games. 372 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 14: And then obviously last year when DeShawn got heard, it 373 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 14: was later in the season. 374 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 4: You guys were. 375 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 14: Obviously well positioned for, you know, being a playoff team 376 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 14: at that point, how do you and not you specifically, 377 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 14: but just as a team. How do you ensure that 378 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 14: things don't spiral inside the locker room when not only 379 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 14: you lose your starting quarterback again, but you know you're 380 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 14: maybe not in quite the same position where last year 381 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 14: to feel like you're competing for the playoffs. 382 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 16: You know, I think coach has been preaching and you 383 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 16: know we all real with him that you know, nobody 384 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 16: still feel sorry for us. You know, obviously you hate 385 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 16: to see Deshaun go down, and you know other injuries 386 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 16: we have on our team, but you know we're in 387 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 16: this together. 388 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 4: We got to. 389 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 16: Figure it out, uh, because we got to get we 390 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 16: gotta change things around. 391 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 4: Thanks. 392 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 6: I'm the pre snap penalties. Uh, First of all, why 393 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 6: do you think they keep happening every week? 394 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 4: I'm not too sure. 395 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 16: I know that the reps have been told kinda this 396 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 16: year to kind of look more into certain things we've 397 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 16: been getting away with for a long time, but and 398 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 16: I'm not too sure about that. 399 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 6: And then how much of a focus hasn't been at 400 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 6: practice to eliminate those. 401 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 16: And we've been working on working on in that practice 402 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 16: all the time because obviously we know it's cost us 403 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 16: some points. So it's definitely been. Uh, We're definitely trying 404 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 16: to get that out of practice. We work on it, 405 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 16: we practice it execution. 406 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: Finally, cornerback Denzel Ward talked about the play of the 407 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: defensive backs through seven weeks in. 408 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 14: Denzel, I've talked to Greg a little bit after the 409 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,959 Speaker 14: game about this. But you guys obviously play a ton 410 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 14: of man. But one of the one of the tendencies 411 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 14: from you guys is that there isn't this sort of 412 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 14: commitment to one guy following somebody all over the field. 413 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 14: Is that something that that you'd prefer to do or 414 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 14: is that just kind of the nature of you guys 415 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 14: all kind of believe you can can lock anybody down 416 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 14: any giving play. 417 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean I just personally prefer to do whatever 418 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 17: for this team to try to get a win. That's 419 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 17: the main goal. So whatever the plan is, I want 420 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 17: to run and try to get a win. 421 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 2: With Let's also answer your question. 422 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 17: I feel we're all more than capable of locking our 423 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 17: guys down and playing a man a man and executing 424 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 17: an assignment. 425 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 8: Yeah, Denzel, can you just address the fact that you 426 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 8: guys have lost Deshaun Watson for the for the rest 427 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 8: of the season.

I mean, 521 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 17: we got our goal is to win each week, and 522 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 17: like I said, our focus is on to get the 523 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 17: game plan for this week going against Baltimore and seeing 524 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 17: what we've got to get a win and finding a 525 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 17: way to execute that assignment. So I think that that's 526 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 17: all it is. 527 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 7: And then just when Deshaun went down yesterday, multiple guys 528 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 7: talked about it after the game, the reaction they heard 529 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 7: from fans and maybe some doing things like that. I guess, 530 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 7: just what did you see in that moment and your 531 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 7: reaction just to as the injury happened. 532 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was. 533 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 17: It was very disappointing to hear the fans cheer or 534 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 17: boo or whatever from I never knew when it was 535 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 17: a good time to kick a man when he's down 536 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 17: or hurting, and so I think it was just very disappointed. 537 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 17: I feel like we, uh people, everyone got it has 538 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 17: to be better than that and look ourselves, look at everybody. 539 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 17: Everybody got to look theirselves in the mirror and and 540 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 17: be better. I mean, regardless of of what you may 541 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 17: think of a person, or what someone's been through or 542 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 17: whatever the situation may be, that doesn't make it make 543 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 17: it right or make it any better for you to 544 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 17: to kick amand when he's down, or or to cheer 545 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 17: when someone gets injured. And so I think we just 546 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 17: everyone just has to be better, but overall it was 547 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 17: just I. 548 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: Was just very disappointing to experience and witness that it. 549 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 15: Donzel, You've been a part of some frustrating seasons as 550 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 15: a Brown given the start that you guys have had 551 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 15: and the expectations, how not necessarily would you rate this 552 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 15: disappointing start, like to compare to other seasons, Like, is 553 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 15: it more frustrating giving the expectations that you guys had 554 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 15: going into the year. 555 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 17: Yeah, it's definitely frustrating because yeah, we definitely had big 556 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 17: expectations and still got big expectations. I mean, we're trying 557 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 17: to get this thing turned around and fix but it's 558 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 17: just just trying to stay focused on the week, weekend 559 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 17: and week out and seeing what we could do to 560 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 17: get this thing changed around and not I mean, no 561 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 17: one's gonna feel sorry for us, or you can't feel 562 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 17: sorry for yourself, So we're just trying to focus on 563 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 17: the positive and do what we can to get this 564 00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 17: thing back on the right show. 565 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: That's all for this episode of the From the Podium podcast. 566 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: Be sure to like and subscribe to the show wherever 567 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts.
