1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: All right, the fourth preseason game in the books. I 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: thought the guys played hard. You know, we didn't make 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 1: enough plays in the end and you know to win 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: the game. But it was a great illustration in my opinion, 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: how how important it is to catch the ball, right, 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: I think we fell victim to the drops, and um, 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: when you're pro football, when you're throwing the ball around you, 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: you need to catch it, you know, especially in those 9 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: third down situations or when we take a shot on 10 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: a deep ball. You know, if the ball gets laid 11 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: inside a little bit, the ball has gotta get defended, 12 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: you know. So there's plenty of things to learn from. 13 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: And like I just told the team, I said, any 14 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: mistake that we made tonight may show up, I don't know, 15 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: three weeks from now in Houston or two weeks from 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: now in Dallas, or so we gotta make sure we 17 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: get it all cleaned up so that we don't make 18 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: any of the mistakes again. Um. I thought all the 19 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: guys that played played extremely hard. Fortunately, I think we 20 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: only had two ankles, Beckton and then um Martin, so 21 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: we had two ankles. So for the most part, unless 22 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: something creeps up in the morning, we pulled out of 23 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: this thing pretty healthy. Uh so it kind of caps 24 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: off training camp and now we'll get to the business 25 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: of picking picking the roster. So I'll take your questions 26 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: on that point about picking the rosters. What can you 27 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: share around your process between now and Saturday and you 28 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: have to reduce the roster share on the process. Yeah, well, well, yeah, 29 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna go. We're gonna go and clean up the 30 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: game tomorrow as coaches will have a meeting with the 31 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: players and then uh, typically this is not new for anything. 32 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: You know, the the players will have some time off this 33 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: weekend and then well you know, we'll get to the 34 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: business of making cuts. Um, that will that will happen 35 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: this weekend. Coach talking about guy catching the ball, the 36 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: couple of really did a really nice job. And on 37 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: the flip side, I thought he did a good job. 38 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: The ball was in the air and he and he 39 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: caught it. You know, it was the first interception along 40 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: the sideline and then the second interception. You undercut the 41 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: route and did a nice job. He also had some tackles, um, 42 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: I would say helped himself tonight. He had he had 43 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: a good performance. And your initial review without looking at 44 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: the tape of Kyle out there. Would you see and 45 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: how did that compare it to what you're expected to see. 46 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: I think he fell victim to some drops that would 47 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: have made things to look a little better. He saw 48 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: the one scramble where he I think he hit uh 49 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: Adams that keeps the drive alive. And you know, he 50 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: was aggressive with the strows down the field, which we 51 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: wanted to see. You know, you can see he's got 52 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: plenty of arm strength, which was good. And you know, 53 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: I thought he was pretty poised throughout the game. And 54 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: then I felt the same way when Tanny came in 55 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: at the end. I thought Alec did a nice job too, 56 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: pretty two pretty good drives the second. The first drive 57 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: stalled on third down. Just catch the ball. We had 58 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: the ball pass the sticks and then we got a 59 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: little fancy with it. So then I intended to go 60 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: for it on fourth down. There anyway, so it can 61 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: be a little bit more cavalier and preseason, but but 62 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: it probably was good to decision go for anyway. Mentioned 63 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: already have a pretty competitive battle of the last spots 64 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: for cornerback. How did he was Harrison's performance? I thought 65 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: he looked pretty good. I saw where he made some tackles. 66 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: I saw he disrupted a couple of passes. You know, 67 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: I have to go back and look at it. You know, 68 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: sometimes corner play gets a little lost when you start 69 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: running the ball. But but I thought he showed up 70 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: pretty well, just just based on what I saw in 71 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: the game. Into this game, you guys didn't have a 72 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: lot of penalties, but tonight you got a lot of 73 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: How do you think your team is adjusting to that? Well? 74 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: I thought we had adjusted well, and then all of 75 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: a sudden, a bunch of them creeped up on us. So, um, 76 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: we'll just go back and look at each one, you know, 77 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: and just see why, you know. And I think some 78 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: of the players, you know, I saw one that definitely 79 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: was a foul, and then you know, there were some 80 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: other ones that you know, there's a pile up, you know. 81 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: We went through this helmet thing. It was said, these 82 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: are the certain plays that we want out of our game, 83 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: and those are pretty obvious. Well, some of the plays 84 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: now we're getting flags. You know. It's just those aren't 85 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: part of the game. I don't know if we have 86 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: a game, you know, so we just gotta see. We 87 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: just gotta see. And I think we all want what's 88 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: right and best for the players. You know, I feel like, UM, 89 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: players safety is on the front burner. You know, we 90 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,559 Speaker 1: want to make sure it's a safe, physical, gritty game 91 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: and played the way the rule is written. And I 92 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: think it's a matter of us just continuing to coach 93 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: it the right way and then when it gets officiated, 94 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: just be you know, officiated consistently. And I think that's 95 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: that's that's that's really what we want more more. With 96 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: the preseason over with, now, do you feel pretty good 97 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: about this team's readiness for the regular season. I don't 98 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: know about readiness. I feel like we're on the right path, um. 99 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: With regard to team building, I feel like we've got 100 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: enough information. We played all the players through the preseason, 101 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: so we're not going to be guessing as to whether 102 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: a guy can do it or not. UM. So we're 103 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: an position now to kind of pick that initial fifty 104 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: three man roster, and so we're in a position to 105 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: keep moving forward. And I feel good about the work 106 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: we've done to this point. But the ultimate team game, 107 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 1: you need to keep practicing and you play games in between, 108 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: and then hopefully you can stay healthy and continue to 109 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: improve and be in a position to being the playoffs, 110 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: you having to cut so many guys. Well, the human 111 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: element of it is tough. I think we all get 112 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: used to it. But you know, if you've got a 113 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: heart and you've got a soul, and you know you're 114 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: you're talking about guys livelihoods, you know it's it's a 115 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: tough situation that way, but you know it's real. It's 116 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: so unfortunately he really but you know, from Minnesota about 117 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: he sees I've picked up this system pretty quick. Can 118 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: you talk about him a little progress? No? I thought 119 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: he's done it. He's done a terrific job, you know, 120 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: and we needed him to come in. We were, you know, 121 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: we were a little short at running back and he 122 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: came in and quickly made an impact. So he helped 123 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: himself in our eyes and hopefully the eyes of the league.
