Speaker 1: All right, good after starting Falcons? How are the first
Speaker 1: team pulling backs to us snatch going to be sporting? Well,
Speaker 1: we're not into next week. We're into the Jets, so
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that. Ye right now, Jets? So
Speaker 1: are you doing any any key camp? So? I mean
Speaker 1: we're we're practicing today and getting guys ready for the
Speaker 1: Jets game. That's what did you think from his workout
Speaker 1: before the game on Thursday? You know what? I didn't
Speaker 1: see it didn't it maybe the start or would be
Speaker 1: not obviously under tay before the Falcons game, but clear
Speaker 1: if he gets cleared, we'll see what are the what
Speaker 1: are the doctors looking for at this point? Where do
Speaker 1: they want to see happen in order to clear the
Speaker 1: Probably have to punt that question to the doctors. Doc
Speaker 1: with with week one it's an early week. Has that change,
Speaker 1: as we say, for seven days we're playing. We're playing
Speaker 1: a Thursday schedule all through preseason and it's like a
Speaker 1: Sunday duh, So schedule doesn't change as during my lot
Speaker 1: of progress the kind of the way you thought he
Speaker 1: would when you guys drafted him. Please all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: day by day getting better, he got to see the
Speaker 1: full team this week of incorporation. That just really just
Speaker 1: but as you I think, just uh, get some continuity
Speaker 1: with the guys, you know, Um, try to get a
Speaker 1: little rhythm next couple of days and get ready for
Speaker 1: next week. About worry about climbing and pizza list. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you can't control injury obviously, um, and we just
Speaker 1: asked the next guy to step up and make play.
Speaker 1: So you know, we wear the sea on our hat
Speaker 1: and we got to coach them all at the same time.
Speaker 1: That was the um. When you watch back the game,
Speaker 1: particularly the offensive side of the ball, was it as
Speaker 1: bad as it looked to live? Uh? It actually wasn't
Speaker 1: bad at all. I mean the worst thing about it
Speaker 1: obviously was the turnovers and they missed opportunities, But we
Speaker 1: had some really good things in the game. How do
Speaker 1: you create that rhythm for the first team, especially offense,
Speaker 1: in practice when usually they can find that rhythm better
Speaker 1: in a game like environments. We just got to continue
Speaker 1: to keep working. Um. You know, the way I can
Speaker 1: struct the way I structure practice this week is the
Speaker 1: so called penciled in guys. We'll get some work. Um. However,
Speaker 1: we're still evaluating evaluating some some younger guys, and we
Speaker 1: still have one more preseason game to go before things
Speaker 1: really begin to heat up. I've got never any closer
Speaker 1: to returning. Have you heard anything about is nothing you've
Speaker 1: expressed that you've been pleased with the way that the
Speaker 1: players have kind of flipped forward, have left the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl in the rear view and they're focused. And do
Speaker 1: you do you still feel like at another we're getting
Speaker 1: closer and you have a you know, more product that
Speaker 1: you've seen. Do you still feel that way? And Yeah,
Speaker 1: I really feel like their sense of urgency and their
Speaker 1: attention to detail these last couple of weeks is really
Speaker 1: sort of picked up. Knowing that you know they're getting
Speaker 1: ready for the start of the year. You said, he's
Speaker 1: sell some good things from the game on Thursday. How
Speaker 1: do you kind of look at that and also realize
Speaker 1: that you were worth out a lot of starters and
Speaker 1: how tough is that going to be to kind of
Speaker 1: get that rhythm going once all of them are back together. Well,
Speaker 1: we evaluate um preseasons a little different because it's it's
Speaker 1: tough to evaluate wins and losses. Obviously, you want to
Speaker 1: evaluate individual performance and then collectively as units, offense, defense,
Speaker 1: special teams, and you know, there were some really good
Speaker 1: individual efforts, um, you know, in the game. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, you know, there's another great opportunity this
Speaker 1: week for a lot of young players to showcase their
Speaker 1: abilities one last you know, one last time, and then
Speaker 1: I just got to make sure that the guys that
Speaker 1: are you know, going to play in the Atlanta game
Speaker 1: get some attention this week as well. Dark part. And
Speaker 1: I mean he's obviously gotten a lot of chances to
Speaker 1: be you know, BG being out and everything, and you
Speaker 1: expect to like rely on him a little bit more
Speaker 1: like as a season starts, well BG works himself back
Speaker 1: in the shape. Um, I do. I think he's had
Speaker 1: a really good, really good offseason, you know, really good
Speaker 1: training camp. Um. You know, as you know, we rotate
Speaker 1: a lot of guys you know, up front with the
Speaker 1: D line to keep guys fresh. But he's gonna get
Speaker 1: his his share of reps in there, um and really
Speaker 1: look forward to some big things from from him this season.
Speaker 1: Anybody as far as that D line goes. I mean,
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett is a guy that obviously can move inside
Speaker 1: on passing desket can he do that on running downs
Speaker 1: too if you need him, Yeah, he can. And it's
Speaker 1: you know, um, I think sometimes some of his best
Speaker 1: work is probably inside quite honestly. Um, but he's he's
Speaker 1: one of those versatile D linemen that we can move
Speaker 1: around and uh, I think creates some some matchups for
Speaker 1: offensive lineman you know, to know where like where he
Speaker 1: is and Fletcher put him on the same side whatever
Speaker 1: it might be. Um and and you know he's still
Speaker 1: he's still learning our system, still learning gym system and
Speaker 1: how how the scheme fits and and uh, but he is,
Speaker 1: he's he's done a nice job inside. I don't know,
Speaker 1: a really good job with a small one. How much
Speaker 1: of the evaluation is just seeing him stay healthy, be
Speaker 1: there for every rap because obviously it's been a big
Speaker 1: issue with him. I think it's part of it. I
Speaker 1: don't think it has to be you know everything. You know,
Speaker 1: he's uh doing a nice job on special teams obviously,
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's he's running, running tough, he's
Speaker 1: running hard, not making all you know, very few mistakes
Speaker 1: in games and in practice and and it's it's shown
Speaker 1: up and uh, it's done a nice job. Concerted effort
Speaker 1: bringing Moller veteran players. Mike Wallace hooding out of Michael Bennett.
Speaker 1: Why is that? Why do you want don't want that
Speaker 1: type player? Well, you know a couple of reasons. One
Speaker 1: veteran player, a lot of experience at all. Three of
Speaker 1: those guys added depth, added talent to a position that
Speaker 1: we know might be of need obviously. Um. And it
Speaker 1: allows your younger players to develop, you know, over over
Speaker 1: a two to three maybe even a four year period,
Speaker 1: you know, before before they take over. So it's a
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity for the veteran player to come in
Speaker 1: and obviously contribute right away, and then at the same time,
Speaker 1: it allows the younger player to to watch him and
Speaker 1: and grow and learn and be ready when his time comes.
Speaker 1: When Carson's ability to make checks at the line of
Speaker 1: scrimage and gets you in the right books. What have
Speaker 1: you seen from him this offseasons? Yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: part of our run pass options, you know, not necessarily RPOs,
Speaker 1: but runs to pass pass two runs and pass to
Speaker 1: pass checks that we do. Um, you know, he's real
Speaker 1: comfortable with it. He's very smart. I think all our
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are kind of well educated in that area. Um,
Speaker 1: he's done a really good job with that. Part of
Speaker 1: his uh you know, continued growth and improvement is to
Speaker 1: just keep getting better with it, you know, each and
Speaker 1: every each and every year, and um, you know still
Speaker 1: very much so on top of the game, you know
Speaker 1: mentally and uh, he and I continue to dialogue and
Speaker 1: talk about you know, situational football and can you can
Speaker 1: continue to grow there too. So the concept of Carson
Speaker 1: being cleared is he does he get examined regularly and
Speaker 1: the doctors are like, he's he's not ready or is it?
Speaker 1: Is there a date between now and the opener where
Speaker 1: he'll go in and they'll look at him, And I mean,
Speaker 1: what's that process? Like? I don't know how many times
Speaker 1: I can answer this question when when they clear him.
Speaker 1: When they clear him, he'll be cleared, But idea when
Speaker 1: that might be. I'm gonna I'm not gonna put you
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put myself in a box. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna put my quarterback in a box. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do that. And I'm not gonna go on a limb
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna say that. So either either ask
Speaker 1: in a different way or otherwise I'm you're gonna get
Speaker 1: the same answer. I think his question is is there
Speaker 1: like a is it a weekly thing that he gets
Speaker 1: looked at? Is there a plenty he's getting every day.
Speaker 1: If that's what you want, That's what I'm asking our metal.
Speaker 1: He's part of the he's part of the rehab process.
Speaker 1: He's getting evaluated to practice, He's getting evaluated by the
Speaker 1: medical team. He's getting treatment, just like Jason Peters, is
Speaker 1: just like Darren Sproles as you guys won't ask me
Speaker 1: about those guys, Jordan Hicks, Chris Maragos, those guys are
Speaker 1: in the same boat and they're getting evaluated every day.
Speaker 1: Do you have a plan to play Chris Nackerberg in
Speaker 1: this game? You talked about some of the better players
Speaker 1: and the receiver. I have some other veteran guys who
Speaker 1: haven't been able to be out there. Marcus backed up
Speaker 1: a little bit U as far as the evaluation, How
Speaker 1: does that affect them to kind of know what they
Speaker 1: can do or does it they need to be out there? Well,
Speaker 1: they need to be out there. Um we should, Um,
Speaker 1: Marcus should work back a little bit into into practice
Speaker 1: this week, and we'll see where he is each each
Speaker 1: day and evaluate him each day. So I'm hopeful that
Speaker 1: he'll get a chance to play in this game he
Speaker 1: talked about that would be like to see from this
Speaker 1: week in UM, I just think, just continue, continue what
Speaker 1: he's doing. U. You know, we'll obviously when we when
Speaker 1: the time comes. Um you know, as far as we
Speaker 1: build game plans things of that nature. But you know,
Speaker 1: for him, it's just consistency, just over and over and
Speaker 1: over seeing the same things, making the same throws, um
Speaker 1: and and just keep working and building towards you know,
Speaker 1: the seasons. The preseason is different obviously, how does it
Speaker 1: affect how you assess these mistakes? Knowing the game planning
Speaker 1: is different, it's a different situations some the regular stid
Speaker 1: Well again it's it's all about the evaluation. You're trying
Speaker 1: to evaluate the player, um and and see if the
Speaker 1: player can eliminate his mistakes, you know, mentally the mental
Speaker 1: errors you know, during a game, and see like an
Speaker 1: offensive line for instance, if four guys are going left
Speaker 1: and one is going right, well we got to fix
Speaker 1: the guy that's going to the right, and and so
Speaker 1: we got to figure out why that's happening. Is it
Speaker 1: is a communication breakdown, say with the center guard, or
Speaker 1: is it just he didn't hear the call, or you know,
Speaker 1: so we're evaluating all of that and how well our
Speaker 1: players can process information quickly in those in those environments.
Speaker 1: Compe
