1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: The Mets. It's awesome about right, the heck of a run.

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: I'm happy for Mickey and the team. It's good to see.

3
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: I like to see all the New York teams playing well. Anyways,

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: I'll try to answer your questions just to jump off that.

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: Do you have relationships within the New York coaches? Have

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: you gotten to know on him a little bit? Um

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: on the phone? You know, we have a song, do

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: you have to Baker? Yeah, he was just in his

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: individual warm up type stuff something with his knee. So

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: we were just checking it out the m R. I.

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: I have no no information on that right now, just

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: kind of in the warm up drills. Um, he just

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: felt something. So he's getting that checked out. We're getting

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: some run with the first team defense on the outside.

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: What have you seen from him? I'm sorry, Corey Valentine

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: getting some run with the first team defense to I

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: had to pick the other night. What have you seen

18
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: from him so far? Well, I've said it's sort of

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: all along. You know, he's very Uh, he's a very competitive,

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: tough guy. And because that's his nature. Uh, when we're

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: playing the uncontrolled game of football, um, he shows up.

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: And so that's why he's out there, but he's done

23
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: a good job at this point. Um there's certainly, you know,

24
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: we're we're hopeful that he'll stay on the same track

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: and keep getting better. What'd you make up how T J.

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: Jones did on Thursday? I did a very nice job.

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 1: He's a young player, but experienced, and so I think

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: when he was out there playing, it was obvious that

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: that he knew what to do and he obviously has

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: the ability to make place. Before he signed him, what

31
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: what stood out about him when he was here? Well,

32
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: we you know, we worked him out and we certainly

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: we had a good grade on him in our pro system,

34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: and um so when we worked him out, and at

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: that point we were needy and wide out because we

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: had some injuries. M we brought him in. Whow which

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: Sunday right? Which? Which take about Eli in the game today? Oh?

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: I thought he did a great job. Yeah, he's I

39
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: think he's practiced well throughout. I think he's throwing the

40
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: ball now after I've watched him this three three weeks stretch,

41
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: I think he's throwing the ball better than he did

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: last summer. And he's got a real good grasp of

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: what we want to do offensively, So he had another

44
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: good day out there. Anything changed for you guys not

45
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: having joint practices like you lose anything, Um, in that

46
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: competitive environment, I don't know. I think you know we're

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: pretty competitive out here. It just didn't work out that

48
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: way this year. Um. It's just so happens that we

49
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: had three teams in the preseason that we're gonna play

50
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: during the regular season, and you know, we're a young

51
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: enough team, and you know, I just felt like us

52
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: being able to practice against each other that more outweighed

53
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: working with another team. And why why just two quarterbacks

54
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: today and the team grills. I just didn't work the

55
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: third group. We were short some numbers, so I just

56
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: didn't work the threes. And that's less about the quarterbacks,

57
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: more about the the guys that weren't practicing in the

58
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: other positions. Very observant, How are you viewing this set

59
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: because you're playing on Friday this week? Do you view

60
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: it as a game week? Is it an extra day

61
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: to play or is it still training? I sort of

62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: feel like this is still training camp. Um. You know,

63
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: I think we started to do carded periods last week,

64
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: which you saw, which feels more like a game week,

65
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: but it's it's sort of a quasi game week because

66
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: we still are in training camp. It seems like throughout

67
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: camp Uli and Kody Latimer have been on the same

68
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: page and so develop some chemistry. What do you see

69
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: from them? What have you seen from Cody so far?

70
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: I think Cody, you know, Cody's probably one of our

71
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: most veteran receivers, you know, and I think he's you know,

72
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: he shows that out there. He knows how to practice,

73
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: he knows how to compete, um he has He's got

74
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: a unique ability to make a play down the field.

75
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,559
Speaker 1: You know, I think he does a good job. There's

76
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: times when he can get behind the receiver and he's open.

77
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: But then there's other times when he's in a contested

78
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: situation where he can make a play on the ball,

79
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: and that's that's hugely valuable when you're a white out

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: for Gates to bump out the tackle after you know,

81
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: how much work of guard and how much can that

82
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: help him? Know? If he shows you something there now,

83
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: I think, you know, obviously he had the two holding calls,

84
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, those of us that watched, there were a

85
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: lot of holds called all weekend. I don't know if

86
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: he was obvious. Um so maybe that was the theme

87
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: and he had the off sides, but I think for

88
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: the most part a guy, he did a really nice

89
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: job out there. So yeah, him being able to do

90
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: that certainly creates more value for him. How close is

91
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: Ryance is stepping in for alic and in situations are

92
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: now and so on a sideline and sort of not

93
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: missing that? Oh yeah, uh yeah. I think he's He

94
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: played well the other night, and you know, if you

95
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: have a starter that's gonna not be in there for

96
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: a couple of days and he'll just step right in.

97
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: I think he's ready to do it.
