1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Like to thank Daves and his coaching staff, my personnel

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: staff for all the hard work, the collaboration you know,

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: to come to where we are today. So with that,

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: I will open up the questions.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 2: The two players that you reportedly you know, claimed off

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: the waivers Upbraid in Enrico.

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: Payton, Yeah, both boat. Braid was in Baltimore with the Ravens.

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: He's a player out of Maryland that we spent some

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: time with coming out in the draft and we we

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: liked you know, he played on special teams for him

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: last year. Also can be a depth safety for us.

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: So high character kid, smart, tough, dependable, checked all those

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: boxes and you know, can also participate on special teams.

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: Rico Peyton, you know a guy that also you know

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: last year during this time, you know, we were hoping,

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, you hope some of these guys get cut

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: and they end up you know, making teams and playing.

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: And he's a really good special teams player and we

19
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: also think he has defensive values. So just to upgrade,

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, the depth of both of those positions. You know,

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: we're happy to get those guys.

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: Young players on purpose.

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: We were just looking for, you know, good football players

24
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: that could help us, but yeah, I mean you can

25
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: look at it. You know, the veterans don't have to

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: go through waivers, so that's something that could have been

27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: done previously. If they are subject to waivers, then you

28
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: got to wait and see how it plays out in

29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: terms of who you're going to be rewarded.

30
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: It's a decision with Tommy and how hopeful were you

31
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: maybe that you were able to bring him back here

32
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 3: on the practice s one and sort of have that

33
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: played out.

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we've got three on the active roster,

35
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: so it's it can be difficult sometimes depending how the

36
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: roster shapes up, where you have some needs where you

37
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: decide to go deep so you know, in certain positions,

38
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: and it just worked out that. You know, we're happy

39
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: for Tommy. You know, he was claimed by New England.

40
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many other teams put in claims.

41
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: We'll be able to probace see that later today or tomorrow,

42
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: but you know, we we we would have loved to

43
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: have him back, you know, he was claimed and you

44
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: know we wish him nothing but the best.

45
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 4: How do you feel about the quarterback room after training camp?

46
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: And where is that?

47
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: I feel good about it? You know, we had a

48
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: good spring, good training camp, the preseason games. I felt

49
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: like those guys played played well in all three games.

50
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: So I feel good about where it is right now.

51
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: This is just tell us what you know, your thoughts

52
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 5: on the roster, and your excitement.

53
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I'm excited to we've been We've been

54
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 4: grinding here, so we'll grind for the next couple of days,

55
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 4: do a little bit of Washington work, probably tomorrow. But

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: there's still a lot of things that we need to

57
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 4: focus on to continue to improve on, like the players

58
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: that we have, like the coaches that we have. You

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: got to go out there and do.

60
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 6: It, Joe.

61
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 5: Obviously, we spend so much time talking about Darden, just

62
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 5: kind of what he's done this preseason. Two questions, One,

63
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 5: what have you thought about what he's done? And two,

64
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 5: this is now gonna be Russell Wilson's team, So I

65
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 5: guess what are you feeling about now his ability to

66
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 5: lead this team for what you saw this preseason.

67
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the room in general has been good throughout the

68
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: spring and camp, so, you know, Dave, Shay Kafka, those

69
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: guys have done a really good job getting Jackson up

70
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: to speed, and there's a lot. There's a lot to

71
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: learn at the quarterback position, and there's a lot put

72
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: on their plate, and that's it's hard for young players

73
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: to come in and not only be able to learn it,

74
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: but break the huddle, get up there, motion, read the defense,

75
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: understand what's going on if there's option routes, and then

76
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: go execute. So he's shown the ability to do that

77
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: this spring, which you know, we're happy. So all in

78
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: all in, you know, the three preseason games he executed well,

79
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: and you know there's still a lot of room for

80
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: growth there. You know, it still has room for growth

81
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: and a long way to go. And luckily he's in

82
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: a room surrounded by veterans that have played in this

83
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: league for quite some time, and I think that'll provide

84
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: dividends down the road, you know, being around Russell and

85
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: Jamis and then as far as Russell, you know, the

86
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: leadership has been tremendous from the minute he walked in

87
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: the building, not just on offense or in the quarterback room,

88
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: but across the entire team. So you know, he's looked

89
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: good this this camp. He had a good camp. He's

90
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: in good shape and you know, excited to see what

91
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: it looks like when we come to the regular season.

92
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 7: Specifically with Jackson, I know you guys went through an

93
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 7: extensive pre draft process with him and evaluated him once

94
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 7: you got him in the building, training camp, pre season.

95
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't see all that stuff.

96
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 7: Was there anything about him that surprised you either that

97
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 7: you didn't know or was a little bit better than expected.

98
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: With rookie quarterbacks? I would just I would always say

99
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: how long it's going to take him to get up

100
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: to speed and be able to go out and execute it.

101
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: It's it's one thing to be able to learn in

102
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: the classroom and regurgitate it, but to go out and

103
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: actually execute it and do it quickly and correctly. I

104
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: would say, Jackson, you know, impressed me in terms of

105
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: not that he couldn't do it or we didn't think

106
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: he could, but impressed me in terms of how quick

107
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: he was able to pick it up and actually go

108
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: execute and play fast. You know, I would say that

109
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: was something that was you don't typically see with rookie

110
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks at times, and he was able to do that.

111
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: He was able to do that.

112
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: The change you think about the timeline or the plan

113
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: for him.

114
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: I think Daves has said it a million times rusted

115
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: our quarterback. So that's what we're rolling with and the

116
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: timeline will be the timeline. However it works out.

117
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 8: In terms of the ross. I mean, as you guys

118
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 8: have built in Brandon, I think was saying it last week,

119
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 8: how it's changed and evolved for you guys from year

120
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 8: one to year two and now you know, obviously this

121
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 8: year with the roster and roster building, did you go

122
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 8: into this period now with a different feeling than maybe

123
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 8: you had a year ago or two years ago about

124
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 8: where you're at, what positions you were strong at week

125
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 8: at and really attack it differently than maybe you would

126
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 8: have in the past.

127
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, every year it's evolving, There's there's turnover in the roster,

128
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: and it takes time to build it. And that's just

129
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: the reality of this situation. I would say one of

130
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: the things that Daves and I tried to do early

131
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: on it just hard it takes time, is we talk

132
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: about leadership in every room and when we go through

133
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: our personnel meetings and where we are now with some

134
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: of the recent off season acquisitions, plus maybe some of

135
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: the guys that we're here or you know, a guy

136
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: a year or two ago, you know, We've finally been

137
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: able to add leadership in every room, and we feel

138
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: good about the team leadership. And I think that's showed

139
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: throughout the spring in training camp, the leadership some of

140
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: the veterans that we have, some of our own that

141
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: have grown into leaders. I would say that's one of

142
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: the bigger differences that I felt throughout this offseason. But

143
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, it takes time to do that because sometimes

144
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: good players that are leaders cost a lot of money,

145
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: and maybe you don't have the financial resources. Then you're

146
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: a young team and you know, trying to surround them

147
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: with people that can can teach them how to lead,

148
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: but maybe they're not starting so it's hard for them

149
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: to learn now. But they got leadership. So it's a

150
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: little complicated, but it's we feel good about the leadership

151
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: that we have now, some of the pieces that we've

152
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: added this offseason and some previous pieces that we're here before,

153
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: and you know, talent wise, again, we'll see. We got

154
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: to go out and do it. Like Dave said, you know,

155
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: we like the roster, we like the chemistry, we like

156
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: the leadership. Now we got to go out and do it.

157
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: On Sundays, you come into a new.

158
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 9: Team Obviously you inherit a bunch of players, right, you know,

159
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 9: you change some, but you can't change all. This is

160
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 9: your fourth roster. Now when you look at this whole group,

161
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 9: do you say this is what I envision the team

162
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 9: should be? You know, I mean not that it's a

163
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 9: perfect team, but is it more your vision of what

164
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 9: you want a roster to be in your fourth year

165
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 9: as opposed to when we first started.

166
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. Like I was just saying on arts question,

167
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: I like the team. I like the chemistry, I like

168
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: the leadership. We had a good training camp, we had

169
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: a good spring. Now we're two weeks away. We have

170
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: to go out and do it. So do I like

171
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: the team? Yes? I like the chemistry. I feel like

172
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: we've been executing. We've had good practice. The guys have

173
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: done done a good job through camp. That's been really

174
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: good competition. And now we're just time to go out

175
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: and do it.

176
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 9: Not even just like you like it and you know,

177
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 9: we'll see how we do. But as far as the

178
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 9: way it's made up, you know, edge rushers, more depth

179
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 9: on the offensive line. You know, you you this is

180
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 9: the way you put it together. In a veteran quarterback

181
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 9: rookie quarterback. Is that you know, does a GM have

182
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 9: a vision for what he kind of wants and is

183
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 9: this more of the vision than it has been before.

184
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And when you're in the roster construction, everybody's gonna

185
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: have a different role. You're gonna have your starters, You're

186
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: gonna have your backups, You're gonna have guys that are

187
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: here for special teams, returner, you know, whatever. It may be.

188
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: Core core four guys as a debt player. So you know,

189
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: we just asked our guys to you know, understand their

190
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: role and execute it the best they can. And you

191
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: wish you could have fifty three Pro bowlers that you're

192
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: probably not. So those guys that have roles, they need

193
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: to accept their role, you know, be good team players

194
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: and go out and exec execute their role the best

195
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: they can. So again, I like the guys we have,

196
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, I like where we are as a team,

197
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see what we do.

198
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 6: You know in Washington, you did I say something about

199
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 6: the talent level that you had some really hard to

200
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 6: see us to make this training point.

201
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure I've ever been in the league

202
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: where it has been a tough cut again I've said

203
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 4: this multiple times. Every player puts so much into it

204
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: to try to be on a roster. And you know,

205
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: roughly twelve hundred guys you know, are out of a job,

206
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 4: come cut down day and you bring you know, call

207
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: it five eighty six hundred back, whatever that may be.

208
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: That means over six hundred and fifty guys are out

209
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: of the league right now. So every year is tough

210
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: relative to releasing players. And then you get some you know,

211
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 4: some back on a practice squad, which now you have

212
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 4: more numbers to do that. And really the way we

213
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 4: envision a practice squad is you're you're part of You're

214
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: part of the New York Giants. You're on the team.

215
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 4: You know, the way it works now it's you need

216
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 4: those guys. So you know, we're putting that together. Feel

217
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 4: good about that as well, and just look forward to

218
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: getting out there to practice today. You know, these last

219
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 4: couple of days are you know, they're always kind of

220
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 4: tough days. There's you know, that's why we did a

221
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 4: walk through and some of the other stuff just to

222
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: get through it. And now we're back the guys that

223
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 4: we've signed or are signing right now on the practice

224
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: squad will be out there get back to normal.

225
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: It's a long break from the last time you played

226
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: a preseason game, and for the frontline starters, it's even longer.

227
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: You know leading up to week one? Do you have

228
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: to do anything special to to sort of keep guys

229
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: sharp during that linky breaks.

230
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 4: Where they get a certain amount of days off. So

231
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: we've been practicing hard. I'll have a full pad of

232
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: practice today. I'll have a full pad of practice next week.

233
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 4: That's why would you train all the off season training,

234
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: training camp, and it's getting to be ready to be

235
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 4: the start of the season summer.

236
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: Next thing you know, it's over. What did you learn

237
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 3: about this group throughout the summer that you've sailed. I

238
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: know each group is like different every year, So what

239
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: did you learn about this specific group?

240
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: I would go back to arts question on just the

241
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: leadership and the continuity and just it started in the spring.

242
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, even a guy like Brian Burns,

243
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: you know from last year to this year, the jump

244
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: he's make and he's been a tremendous leader this offseason.

245
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: And again some of the off season acquisitions that we

246
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: brought in Russ and Jamis and Roy Robertson, Harris and

247
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: Holland and Paulson and true pros, true pros that you

248
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: know have the DNA that we look for and cove it.

249
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: And you know, again the camaraderie, guys that love ball,

250
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: guys that hold each other accountable, you know, staying after

251
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: doing the extra. So I really like where they are

252
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: right now, the way they're approaching the season, and just

253
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: the true, true aspect of the team field that we have.

254
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: What made you come to the conclusion like that's what

255
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: you needed? Like was there a point or anything that

256
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: specific that you saw it said, you know, that's something

257
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: we need to address this offseason.

258
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: We're always looking for that. We've been looking for that,

259
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: and we're always going to look for it. You know,

260
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: we brought in Bobby ol Caric a couple of years ago.

261
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: He's got leadership. You know, we brought in Greg van Rotin.

262
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: You know, he's got leadership. So it's not like we

263
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: John Onion, you know, Devin Singletary, like these guys are

264
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: like that. We just we've been able to acquire more

265
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: and more and more guys that you know, have those

266
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: traits and qualities that we covet and you know, the

267
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: more of those guys you can have that are gonna

268
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: do things the right way and are unselfish and you know,

269
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: true pros that can be contagious for some of the

270
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: young players, and they can elevate everybody that you get.

271
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: Those are the two we put in.

272
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 8: Obviously filling out the practice squad. Now you'll have some

273
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 8: guys out there I would imagine.

274
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was, you know, I took a picture

275
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: of it before I came out. I was scrambling. So

276
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: if you, if you guys want to, I'm gonna tell

277
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: you who's signed back thus far. So Lane Fox, Garcia Ford,

278
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: Am I talking to yous? All right? Chapman, Hudson, Riley Kubis,

279
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: a mirror, Little Jordan uh Turbo and Dee Williams right

280
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: now are the guys that we got back and will

281
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: continue to fill out the rest between now and you

282
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: know tomorrow.

283
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: So did you feel like you need a quarterback? You've

284
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: got three on the active roster. Of course, do you

285
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: need to practice squad quarterback?

286
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: We're just going to go with three for right now.

287
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: I think else, what Ifi.

288
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 3: And Corey Black show you guys this summer that you

289
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: know you wanted that earned themselves a spot on on

290
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: the roster here.

291
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, both seventh round picks that had traits and you know,

292
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: Corey unfortunately was injured the majority of camp, so uh,

293
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: he had a good spring. He showed some traits there

294
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: that you know we're excited about. Unfortunately, just injured, you know,

295
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: in camp, so you know, we'll see what happens there.

296
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: But Fidoni showed up in season games, showed up in camp,

297
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: big long, athletic, good hands, improving as a blocker, so

298
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: we're excited about him. You saw the catch radius, you know,

299
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: soft hands in a couple of those games. So can

300
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: also contribute on special teams, so you know, the fourth

301
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: down value is important for those guys.
