1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: The Browns are back at practice in Los Angeles on

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: the campus of UCLA as they continue their preparations for

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: the LA Rams. Today, on from the podium, we hear

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: from three players and the Browns three coordinators to give

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: us their thoughts on practicing out in LA and of course,

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: playing the Los Angeles Rams this weekend. The coordinators went first.

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: They spoke before practice started, and we heard from Special

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: teams coordinator Boba Ventron first. He talked about how helpful

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Corey Bijorquez has been to this team, and a little

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: bit about Rams kicker Lucas Haversik, who was with the

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: Browns earlier this year.

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: Hey, so obviously you know Lucas well, what did you

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: like about him when he was here.

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: He's got a strong leg, good elevation on his kicks,

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: He's got good tempo to the ball. I really like

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: the kid. I think he's a really good kid and

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: a really hard worker. So I had him in Endy

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: for a little bit and then brought him here and

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 3: I thought he did a nice job.

20
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, Bubba, I know you've obviously we ask you

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 4: about Dustin all the time, but I'm just curious since

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 4: he's been here and you've gotten to know him. Is

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 4: there anything he's like learned about him that you didn't

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 4: expect or or something that stands out about his personality?

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 4: He seems pretty even keel.

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's uh, he's an interesting character.

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 5: Man.

28
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: He's he's fun to work with. He's a great guy

29
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: to have in the room, not just for the specialists,

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 3: but for the position players as well. You know, he's

31
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: kind of beats to his own drune and there's times

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: where it will frustrate me a little bit because he

33
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 3: has tendency to be late at times. So but now

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: he's been he's been great. He's been great.

35
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 4: And you know, when you say the thing about position players,

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 4: I know kickers sometimes position players will always gravitate to them.

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 6: So is that sort of unique sometimes?

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: I think our group, all three of those guys, I

39
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: think they jee.

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 6: Well with our core players.

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 5: I really do.

42
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: There's really not a separation between you know, the specialists

43
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: and the core group.

44
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 5: So our guys have done a good.

45
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 7: Job of.

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: You know, they all they all get along well and

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: interact well together.

48
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 8: Hey, Bobby, again, like Dan said, I know we always

49
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 8: ask you Aboutdustin, but Corey too. Just the year that

50
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 8: he's had so far, the way he's been punting the ball,

51
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 8: just what you've seen from him and getting to know

52
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 8: him and how he sort of goes about things week

53
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 8: to week.

54
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 3: Corey's done a nice job, I think, especially as of late,

55
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: of understanding how we want to play the game and

56
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: the returners were going against. We have specific plans for

57
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: each one. So he's done a good job throughout the

58
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 3: week in his preparation and then the results have shown

59
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: up in the game. Last week, he did a nice

60
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: job versus the returning the leading returner in the league

61
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: in MEMS and I thought it elevated the ball well,

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: hit good direction, and gave our our defense a good

63
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: uh good. I guess you'd say drive start Yeah, Bob.

64
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 9: But just wondering, has your group done anything together, you know,

65
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 9: just as a unit on this trip, and what do

66
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 9: you feel like you and your guys are kind of

67
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 9: getting out of being here.

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: I know that, I know that they have had some

69
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: meetings amongst themselves with with just players only. As far

70
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: as the special teams group, I think they'll have another

71
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: one of those.

72
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 6: Today or tomorrow.

73
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: As far as them going out, I think they've gone out.

74
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: I think they went out the first night with their

75
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: position groups as far as offense defense. From what I

76
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: have gathered from a few of the guys, And I'm sorry,

77
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: what was the second part of the question.

78
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 9: I'm just wondering, what you know, what do you feel like?

79
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 9: What do you sense that you guys are kind of

80
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 9: getting already out of out of being here. I know

81
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 9: you guys have heard from Jerry West yesterday, but what

82
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 9: you know, what do your sense in terms of bonding

83
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 9: for the final push?

84
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 10: Yeah?

85
00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 6: I think it.

86
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: I think that this is a really good opportunity for

87
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: us to to get away from Cleveland, you know, to

88
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: come together. I mean the weather's nice too, it's snowing

89
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: back home, but be able to just get together kind

90
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: of has that Greenbrier feel to it, where you know

91
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: you're outside, you're still work, you're still working, you're working

92
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: toward a goal. Obviously we're preparing for a big game

93
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: against the Rams, but it's bringing it. It has brought

94
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: everybody closer. You're almost the players are almost forced to

95
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: be together even more now, and I think you'll see

96
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: more of that as the week goes along. But you know,

97
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: I think that going into this week, especially coming off

98
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: last week. It's probably good to remove ourselves from you know,

99
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: being back in Cleveland. It's good to be able to

100
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: bring everyone together to focus on working towards this next game.

101
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: So I'm actually glad that we're out here. I think

102
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: it's been a positive for us. They did a great

103
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: job setting everything up for us too.

104
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 9: And I have a quick follow up if you don't mind,

105
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 9: what about the presence you know, we saw that Deshaun

106
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 9: Watson was over over there on the sideline yesterday and

107
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 9: then you guys have Nick job here with you. What

108
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 9: about the presence of guys like that, maybe as a

109
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 9: reminder about, you know, how grateful everybody needs to be

110
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 9: to be able to actually be out there playing.

111
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never know when it's going to be, you know,

112
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: when it could be your last rep. That's why everything

113
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 3: is so important. You got to take advantage of every

114
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: opportunity that you're given. You know, it was unfortunate we've

115
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: had we've sustained some injuries, but I think guys have

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 3: done a good job of rising to the occasion, taken

117
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: on the challenge of stepping up in their roles.

118
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 6: You know, obviously we lose, we lose.

119
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 3: Nick Jerome Ford and Kareem step up, we lose you know, DeShawn.

120
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: All the quarterbacks have you know, stepped up in their way,

121
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 3: shape or form. And then you have like even guys

122
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: like you know, we lose Rodney McLeod to the Yobo

123
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: Like Rodney is a tremendous communicator leader on that side

124
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: of the ball. So it's like who's going to step

125
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: up next? Grant Delpit's done a nice job. Anthony Walker

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: is a big communicator on that side of the ball.

127
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 3: So that's been important for us to be able to

128
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: get those contributions and that leadership whenever, you know, we've

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: had some key injuries on our roster. I think those

130
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: guys have responded well. And it's a testament to honestly,

131
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 3: like the players at AB and Kevin had brought in

132
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: here and and how we gel as a team and

133
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: the communication and you know, yeah, but.

134
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 11: What have you seen from James Preschet in the return

135
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 11: game and just kind of how he's adjusted to you

136
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 11: guys throughout the season.

137
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, James, I think from the start, from when he

138
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: got here, he showed us that, you know, he can

139
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: be a guy that can be trusted back there. I

140
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: think that you know, He's had a handful of plays

141
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 3: where he made he made one back. I think last

142
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: week we lost the ball a little bit. The ball

143
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: was a little funky off the uh off the foot,

144
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 3: so he kind of stayed away. We only gave up

145
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 3: a couple of yards on the role there. But for

146
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: the most part, he's done a nice job of fielding

147
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: it and getting what we can get and getting a

148
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: little bit more. He had a big return against Pittsburgh

149
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: that gave us a good field position. He had a

150
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: nice return at the end of that Pittsburgh game that

151
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: set us up to have a shorter field for the offense.

152
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: He does a good job in his preparation and he

153
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: studies the opponent pretty well and has a plan even

154
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: before we come into the meetings and we're installing our

155
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: punt return. So, you know, we were really excited to

156
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: work with him.

157
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt talk next. He talked about

158
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: how Joe Flaccos looked in practice so far and how

159
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: the team is going to address their issue with dropping passes.

160
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, just wondering if you can kind of tell us

161
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,559
Speaker 9: what it's been like for you to try to get

162
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 9: your fourth potential starting quarterback ready to start this football game.

163
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 9: And what challenges is is that presenting you.

164
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, it is a challenge obviously fortunate to

165
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 12: you know, to have Joe who's an established veteran, has

166
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 12: been in multiple systems that allows him to easily kind

167
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 12: of translate his terms into our terms. There are some

168
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 12: crossover terms he's using different systems, so that that definitely helps.

169
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 13: Hey, do you know if DTR is going to be

170
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 13: able to practice today?

171
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 5: I'm not sure right now.

172
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 12: I know he had some testing this morning, still going

173
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 12: through the process of the protocol, but you know, I'm

174
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 12: not exactly sure that stands this morning.

175
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 5: I know he did some testing earlier in the day, gotcha.

176
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: And then back to Joe. You know, Kevin said yesterday

177
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: was only twenty four hours in the day. But from

178
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 2: your perspective, how do you go about trying to get

179
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: him as ready as possible with the short time frame

180
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: from him being here?

181
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of meeting time.

182
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 12: You know, he does a great job on his own,

183
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 12: really did a nice job yesterday and stepping in the

184
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 12: huddle and calling the plays, all the operation that comes

185
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 12: in the huddle, he was excellent at you know, for him,

186
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 12: it's just spending time into the playbook. It's about operation,

187
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 12: you know, at the line of scrimmage, getting out of

188
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 12: the huddle, getting to the huddle, the operating. So again,

189
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 12: his his you know, his experience in multiple systems, getting

190
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 12: ready for NFL games he's done many times. So just

191
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 12: a little more emphasis on, you know, understanding exactly what

192
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 12: we're gonna ask him to do if he's a guy

193
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 12: on game day.

194
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 14: Yeah, non quarterback question for you, Alex. The drop passes

195
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 14: in recent weeks seems to be a bit of an

196
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 14: abnormality but has been popping up. What if you guys,

197
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 14: I guess what can you guys do uh to rectify that?

198
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 14: And what do you think the genesis of that has been?

199
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 14: Is it because d t R throws a harder ball

200
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 14: or what? What do you think there?

201
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's that's always a fine line, Daryl, As you know,

202
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 12: it's these guys catch the ball for a living. They

203
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 12: do a great job of doing it. It just so

204
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 12: happens at two weeks in a row we put a

205
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 12: few on the ground that we're catchable. You know, obviously

206
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 12: we will emphasize that in the week. Is it is

207
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 12: it concentration?

208
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 5: Is it?

209
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 10: You know?

210
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 12: Completing the the eyes on the ball the whole time

211
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 12: through the catch. I think a couple of times we

212
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 12: may have taken our eye off the ball to go

213
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 12: look for for yak yards after the catch. So just

214
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 12: just letting these guys know, hey, you guys catch the

215
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 12: ball for a living. You're going to catch it again.

216
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 12: This is a you know, we're just going through a

217
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 12: little drop period here. If you overstress it, then you know,

218
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 12: then oftentimes guys will start to you know, get something

219
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 12: in their head that they're they're dropping the ball.

220
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 5: So just put the emphasis on the fundamentals.

221
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 14: That's the key, and without giving any trade secrets away

222
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 14: here as far as game plan and things like that

223
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 14: when you're dealing with these different quarterbacks and getting them

224
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 14: up to speed in this case obviously Joe, how dramatic

225
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 14: is the change like do route with the offense because

226
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 14: of his style of play? Do like route trees change?

227
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 10: Do you know?

228
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 14: I know you mentioned you know terminology is basically the same,

229
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 14: But just what adjustments, if you can explain, have to

230
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,239
Speaker 14: take place when you're having to go from quarterback to quarterback.

231
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 12: Sure, you know, generally route depths don't change the names

232
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 12: of the routes will change. You know, there's their standard

233
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 12: route tree across the league that everybody runs, so those

234
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 12: will be you know, similar. There are some nuances to

235
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 12: some of the routes that we run, and I think

236
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 12: the biggest thing for a new quarterback coming into any

237
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 12: any places just having a feel for how each receiver

238
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 12: runs each route differently.

239
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 5: Some guys might not run you might have the same route.

240
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 12: You might get three different feels, you know, as a

241
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 12: quarterback based on the individual that's running that route. That's

242
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 12: the biggest adjustment is just getting a feel for how

243
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 12: the guys run their routes.

244
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 15: Hey, ale, I was just wondering how how beneficial was

245
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 15: it for Joe to be on this sidelines last Sunday

246
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 15: in Denver and just sort of see how you guys

247
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 15: operate within the context of an actual Sunday game compared

248
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 15: to what you know. You can do the walk throughs

249
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 15: and practice everything, but just being there. How much is

250
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 15: that a benefit for him?

251
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 12: I think it's huge really, just to get a game

252
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 12: under his belt where he had the year piece in

253
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 12: on the sideline, he was listening to the communication, you

254
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 12: know from Kevin to the QBS, just how Kevin talked

255
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 12: to those guys how the play calls come in our

256
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 12: sideline mechanics after each series of what we have to

257
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 12: get done before the next drive. All that, just getting

258
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 12: a drive run under his belt will be beneficial.

259
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 11: Maybe al from going back to Joe for a second

260
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,599
Speaker 11: about like that on him practicing yesterday, how what was

261
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 11: it like to see him in that huddle, The communication

262
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 11: that we've talked out with these guys between being such

263
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 11: a big part of it in his communication style in

264
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 11: that first practice.

265
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 5: I guess, yeah, it's very impressive.

266
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 12: Again, you know, he's a guy that's done it before,

267
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 12: he's you know, his size and stature, he demands attention

268
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 12: in the huddle. You know, his play calling is clear

269
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 12: and crisp, and I think the guys appreciated that.

270
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 11: And as you go through this week, like obviously knowing

271
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 11: what he's done in the league over his career, but

272
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 11: like seeing him truly just go through practice and getting

273
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 11: those reps, Like how helpful is that just to get

274
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 11: him acclimated and see what he can bring to the table.

275
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 12: Huge, you know, and we're still working through all of

276
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 12: that as the week goes on. You know, what routes

277
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 12: do you like, how do you feel about you know,

278
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 12: certain personnels. You know, a lot of a lot of

279
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 12: give and take, a lot of communication between us and

280
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 12: the quarterback room, and those things will continue to work

281
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 12: through the week. But as a as a passer, I

282
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 12: mean he is exactly that. He's a pure passer, makes

283
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 12: all the throws, has the arm strength to you know,

284
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 12: to push the ball down the field, and its accurate

285
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 12: at all levels.

286
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 4: Hey, Alex, I got a couple of running back questions

287
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: for you. First, Jerome Forward, it seems like he's been

288
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: running really well the last couple of weeks. How have

289
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: you seen him kind of grow since he's taken over

290
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 4: that job.

291
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's definitely has grown up.

292
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 12: You know, I'm really proud of of his efforts, his

293
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 12: ability to run the ball.

294
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: He's you know, he's popped some.

295
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 12: Big runs for us, and I think he had three

296
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 12: last week over ten yards, which was great.

297
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 5: You know, his approach is the same every day.

298
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 12: I think he's got great leadership in the room with Stump,

299
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 12: you know, other great pros in there, you know, Nick

300
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 12: Chubbs in the room, so he knows how to prepare

301
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 12: and what it's going to take on game day.

302
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 5: But really proud of his his work so far.

303
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 4: And then with Kareem Hunt, we're seeing him jump over

304
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 4: people for over people. Having him back in that room,

305
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 4: what does that brought for you guys? What kind of

306
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 4: energy has that brought?

307
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 10: Yeah?

308
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 12: A lot of energy game day especially, you know, he

309
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 12: runs his reckless abandon He's very physical and very violent

310
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 12: with his run style, and that's been key for us,

311
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 12: especially in some short yard of situations. But I always

312
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 12: feel confident we give Cream the ball, He's going to

313
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 12: get us the tough yards.

314
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 8: Hey, Alex, just want to ask about Amari. I mean,

315
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 8: I know, obviously he's been fighting through this injury after Sunday,

316
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 8: but you guys obviously saw him fight through a pretty

317
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 8: significant injury last year. Just like his toughness as a

318
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 8: receiver and what you've seen from him getting to know

319
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 8: him over the last couple of years.

320
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, game day of Mari man is special. He fights

321
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 12: through everything to get there. You know he'll do that

322
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 12: again this week. It looks like, you know, then on

323
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 12: game day he just he lights up. So you know,

324
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 12: toughness is is an area that you don't have to

325
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 12: worry about with the Mari. He's gonna he's gonna be

326
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 12: there if he can, and on game day he's gonna

327
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 12: he's gonna be his best self.

328
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 8: And then just with the younger guys, you know, even

329
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 8: when those other receivers in that room talk about him,

330
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 8: it's like, unsurprisingly they can't speak highly enough about him.

331
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 8: Just what makes those guys so receptive to getting advice

332
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 8: from him and things like that.

333
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 12: I think the biggest thing is his authentic authenticity. He

334
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 12: is a real dude, you know, and those guys, you know,

335
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 12: they see success that he's had through hard work. You know,

336
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 12: he's a very selfless receiver, which is you know, in

337
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 12: today's game, is great to have a guy like that,

338
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 12: and he sets a great example of his work ethic

339
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 12: and then his ability to make plays on game day.

340
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 5: So I'm sure those guys will look up to him

341
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 5: as as do I.

342
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 4: Hi, Alex.

343
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 16: Two questions about Flacco. Number one, how would you describe

344
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 16: his arm strength right now at the age of thirty eight?

345
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 16: And is that alone a lift to the guys out

346
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 16: there because you don't have a guy the other two

347
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 16: guys just don't have to kind up an arm.

348
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, he's an elite arm There's no question if

349
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 12: you put in a scale of one to five, I'd

350
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 12: say he's a five. You know, his his ball flight,

351
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 12: his velocity on the ball, you know, at every level

352
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 12: of the field is very impressive.

353
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 5: But guys got excited.

354
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 12: You know, he threw some balls against the scout team

355
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 12: last week and the guys in the back were kind

356
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 12: of fired up.

357
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 16: The other thing about that Flacco is he's not the

358
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 16: most mobile guy, and yet his whole career his sack

359
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 16: totals have been relatively low. How does he do it?

360
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 12: I think as the mentality of playing on time, you know,

361
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 12: working through progressions quickly, taking check downs areas like that

362
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 12: that those are things that that will help him eliminate

363
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 12: or avoid sacks. So I think he understands that about himself,

364
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 12: really self aware of who he is as a player

365
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 12: through our conversations this week. But his decision making is

366
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 12: the ability to get the ball out of his hands

367
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 12: will help Heylie.

368
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 13: What improvement did you see from dtr before he had

369
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 13: to leave the game on something?

370
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 12: Oh man, I think he's making strides. He's gotten better

371
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 12: each time he's been out. Is unfortunate. I thought we

372
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 12: were in a good place there in Denver. We were

373
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 12: starting to get a little momentum that was unfortunate, but

374
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 12: really proud of his play style. He made some plays,

375
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 12: you know, with his legs, he made some plays with

376
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 12: his arm, showed some toughness. Again, just real happy with

377
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 12: his development at this point.

378
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: And then with Aaron Donald, do you expect him to

379
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: be against Joel mostly in early downs and just that

380
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: matchup specifically, and then how they move air and around.

381
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, obviously a generational player. You know, when you watch

382
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 12: the tape and you're looking at everything and as a whole,

383
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 12: you tend to focus on him a lot. And you know,

384
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 12: so he's gonna command attention from us. He's gonna be

385
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 12: on both guards that he'll be out on the edges.

386
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 12: They move him around based on where they think he

387
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 12: can get a match up. You know, we're gonna have

388
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 12: to be very diligent with with our understanding of where

389
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 12: he is and how it affects everything with us excited

390
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 12: to see our guards when they do get a chance

391
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 12: to block him, to block them. I think, you know,

392
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 12: our guards are really good players for us, So that

393
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 12: matchup is going to be fun to watch.

394
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, Alex, when when Joe first talked to us, last

395
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 9: week he said, I can still play and I have

396
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 9: stuff left in the tank. So after you've watched him

397
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 9: now practice for a little bit more than a week,

398
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 9: just wondering, you know, what's your take on that.

399
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, again, Mary Kay, I think he's very self aware

400
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 12: and I think he's correct. Yeah, I think there's there's

401
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 12: still a lot left in that tank. Again yesterday, would

402
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 12: you know solidify that from me just watching him at

403
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 12: the accuracy and the philosophy of the footwork and everything

404
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 12: that he showed yesterday.

405
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz was the final coordinator to speak today.

406
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: He talked about how tough Miles Garrett's been fighting through

407
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: these injuries and how linebacker Jeremiah Owusu Kormo it looked

408
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: last week.

409
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 15: Jim, you obviously saw Matthew Stafford at a very young

410
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 15: age in terms of his NFL career. How have you

411
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 15: seen him develop and how does he how does his

412
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 15: skill set fit so well within the within the Rams offense.

413
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 6: Well, he's he's one of the best throwers of the football,

414
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 6: number one in the league right now, but in his era,

415
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 6: just an arm that can make all the throws, an

416
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 6: arm that can drop different arm Angles, has tremendous accuracy,

417
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 6: has great command of the offense, really good at threatening

418
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 6: the whole field. He's really good with his eyes looking

419
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 6: defenders off, you know, the sort of the no look

420
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 6: pass thing that gets a lot of attention from different

421
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 6: quarterbacks in the league. You know, Matthew has been doing

422
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 6: that for a long time. You know, I'm proud of

423
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 6: where he's where he's gone. You know, he's he's developed

424
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 6: not just as a player, but as a leader. And

425
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 6: we're going to play our very best on Sunday to

426
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 6: come out with a win.

427
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 4: Hey, Jim, I wanted to ask about mj Emerson and

428
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 4: just sort of, you know, how has he grown, not

429
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 4: just as a player since you've gotten here, how does

430
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 4: he kind of become a leader in that room.

431
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, that's one of the things that I've

432
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 6: been really happy to see is his development showing a

433
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 6: little bit more personality and he brings a lot of excitement,

434
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 6: he brings a lot of energy. He's really good with

435
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 6: the other players on the sideline, and I think that's

436
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 6: been that's something he has grown into, particularly this year,

437
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 6: and I think a lot of it comes from playing well,

438
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 6: you know, when when you're out there, if you're struggling

439
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 6: as a player, it's hard for you to you know,

440
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 6: bring a lot of energy and to you know, pick

441
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 6: the other guys up. But he's playing at a really

442
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 6: high level. I'm proud of the way his tackling has improved.

443
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 6: You know, he had some well documented misses early in

444
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 6: the season, but he's a resilient player, Like you have

445
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 6: to be a corner, and I think he's on you know,

446
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 6: he's already a really good player in this league. I

447
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 6: think he's well on his way to becoming a great

448
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 6: player and one of the top corners in the league.

449
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 4: And obviously have so many different body types in that room.

450
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 4: When you have a guy like that, it almost looks

451
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 4: like a safety. How valuable of an asset is that

452
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 4: for you as a coordinator.

453
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, he's got long arms. You know he's big.

454
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 6: But you know, I wouldn't just put him on like,

455
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 6: you know, just being a big corner. He's covered a

456
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 6: lot of smaller, shifty guys this year too, you know,

457
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 6: from from the very beginning. So you know, I think

458
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 6: that you know, we do have some different body shapes

459
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 6: and things like that. Denzel's different than MJ is different

460
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 6: than Newsome, you know, but you know, I think all

461
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 6: of them have embraced what we've asked them to do,

462
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 6: which is, you know, being the one on one spotlight

463
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 6: and you know, and and and not be not shy

464
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 6: away from those one on one matchups. And you know,

465
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 6: he's playing with more and more confidence as we goes.

466
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 6: It's really hard to believe he's only a Secon. You're

467
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 6: player right now.

468
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 17: Hey, Jim, I want to ask about Jeremiah. He looked

469
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 17: like he really played well last week. I wanted to

470
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 17: see if you assessed thought it was maybe his best

471
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 17: game of the year. And is it the scheme that's

472
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 17: kind of unlocked his playmaking abilities?

473
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 6: Well, he played seven and four, so you know, we'll

474
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 6: keep it at that. But you know, you generally don't

475
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 6: want to point to individual performances when you lose a game,

476
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 6: but I think that might be an exception right there.

477
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 6: Twelve tackles, two tackles for a loss, a sack, a

478
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 6: force fumble, really all over the field for us, and

479
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 6: you know, and we need him to play that way

480
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 6: down the stretch, you know. And I think the thing

481
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 6: I'm proud of with Jeremiah is his ability now, and

482
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 6: I think it's he's growing into this to put bad

483
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 6: plays behind him. Nobody goes out and goes, you know,

484
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 6: sixty for sixty on their play chart. You're going to

485
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 6: have some rough spots in there. And you know, there

486
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 6: were some times early in the season where he would

487
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 6: let one mistake sort of snowball, and it would become

488
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 6: two mistakes and three and you know, and it would

489
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 6: get him down. But the thing, the thing I was

490
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 6: most pleased with with the way he played was was

491
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 6: not his production on the field. It was his ability,

492
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 6: along with Jason Tarver, to make corrections on the sideline

493
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 6: and and to put some you know, mistakes and things

494
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 6: like that behind him. And I think, you know, that's

495
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 6: that's probably the thing that stood out the most for me.

496
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 6: For me, but you know, his speed, his instincts, he's

497
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 6: much improved in the past game, not just as pass rusher,

498
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 6: but in his past zones. Like I said, we're gonna

499
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 6: need performances like that. We're getting late in the season.

500
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 6: Games become more and more important. And you know, the

501
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 6: more Jeremiah and do things for that for us, or

502
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 6: do things like that for us, the better, the better

503
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 6: position will be in going down the stream.

504
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, Jim, I watched Miles, you know, battling it out

505
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 9: over there on the sidelines a little bit yesterday, you know,

506
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 9: trying to stretch and sprint and rally a little bit. So,

507
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 9: you know, we don't have Kevin today, So I don't

508
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 9: know what you can tell us about how Miles is doing,

509
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 9: what his mindset is like. But you know, we watched

510
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 9: him play, you know, really hurt in the past, and

511
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 9: he seems determined to do so again. So I don't

512
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 9: know what you can share about where he is at

513
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 9: with everything right now.

514
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, probably not much. I'll leave that up to Kevin,

515
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 6: but I will just talk on what I've seen from Miles,

516
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 6: and you know, I think that's that's something that maybe

517
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 6: flies below the you know, the radar nationally with him

518
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 6: a little bit, is his toughness and his ability to

519
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 6: play through some injuries. He's going to work really hard

520
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 6: to get back, and you know, we'll be prepared for everything,

521
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 6: everything and everything in between. So you know, we'll be

522
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 6: prepared if he's not able to make it, will be

523
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 6: prepared if he's able to go and play every single

524
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 6: snap in the game. We'll be prepared if he just

525
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 6: has a certain role in the game, he feels a

526
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 6: tremendous amount of responsibility to be on the field. He's

527
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 6: he's wired that way. He wants to be out there,

528
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 6: and I know this, if there's any chance that he can,

529
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 6: he'll be productive once he is.

530
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 13: What was your main message to the guys after that

531
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 13: Broncos game.

532
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, honestly, it seems like it was like

533
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 6: a month ago, I don't, you know, just just the

534
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 6: way the travels worked and everything else. I think probably

535
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 6: the biggest thing is we missed. We missed three or

536
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 6: four chances to really take that game under control, you know,

537
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 6: and whether it was you know, a short yardage play

538
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 6: where they barely got a first down, or pass interference

539
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 6: play or after a turnover on offense, ability to you know,

540
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 6: to get off the field, which which we did I

541
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 6: think second second, second series of the game, and you know,

542
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 6: went out, they were at midfield, they took a shot,

543
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 6: we defended it really well, came back film for a

544
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 6: lost yard to play on the run, got off the

545
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 6: field on third down. We need more of that stuff,

546
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 6: and you know, I think that you know, there were

547
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 6: there were just some chances that we could have really

548
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 6: taken advantage of. There were some missed opportunities, some missed

549
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 6: opportunities for sacks, right, We let Russell escape a couple

550
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 6: of times and run through some arm tackles and things

551
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 6: like that, and you know, we make those plays and

552
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 6: we feel a lot better about ourselves, and we expect

553
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 6: that from ourselves. We expect to be able to finish

554
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 6: and get the quarterback on the ground get off the

555
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 6: field on third down. That what that wasn't our best

556
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 6: third down performance of the year. And you know, a

557
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 6: lot had to do with, you know, not being able

558
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 6: to get the quarterback down and throw it a ton

559
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 6: in the game. But when we had chances to be

560
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 6: able to make some tackles for losses or some sacks

561
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 6: and put them in some longer yarded situations or win

562
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 6: on third down, to let those opportunities slip through our

563
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 6: fingers a little bit, you know, that's probably that's probably

564
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 6: the biggest takeaway.

565
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 2: And then Stafford was talking to reporters in LA yesterday.

566
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 2: I thinking he said, you're analytical, but also feel the

567
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: game and you call it from your gut, Like do

568
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 2: you think do you agree with that assessment?

569
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 6: You know, you know we we we all try to

570
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 6: be analynalytical and take in as much information. I think

571
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 6: that's probably the definition of analytical as you're you're analyzing,

572
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 6: you're using information. But yeah, there's things like that don't

573
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 6: happen in a in a vacuum.

574
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 10: You know.

575
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 6: That's one of the reasons I like to be down

576
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 6: on the field. I try to be in the middle

577
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 6: of practice. I think you really have to feel the players,

578
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 6: and you know, it's not it's not so much my gut,

579
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 6: it's my reaction to what is happening with the players.

580
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 6: So I think you have to be wired into that.

581
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 6: It's not really how I'm feeling in the game, it's

582
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 6: how the players are my ability to process that. So,

583
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 6: you know, all that goes into coaching, it goes in

584
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 6: play calling on game day, and you know, all those things.

585
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 6: And when it's all said and done, we're just trying

586
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 6: to do whatever we can to you know, to limit scoring,

587
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 6: to you know, get off the field on third down

588
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 6: and come out with a win. And hopefully we can

589
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 6: do those things, whether it's you know, because of analytics

590
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 6: or information or because of you know, just a feeling

591
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 6: out there.

592
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 16: Jim the defense at home burst the defense on the road.

593
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 16: What do you think is going on there? There seemed

594
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 16: to be a big difference in some of the numbers.

595
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, really not one hundred percent sure. I mean, obviously

596
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 6: the home crowd helps us. It helps our pass rush.

597
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 6: We feed off of the excitement from the crowd. I

598
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 6: think we we they both. We provide energy both ways.

599
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 6: We provide them some energy, they provide us some energy.

600
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 6: I think the biggest thing on the road is a

601
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 6: little bit like I talked about before, we've had chances

602
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 6: to take games under control, and we've just missed those opportunities.

603
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 6: You know, this game, you know is is half your

604
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 6: games are going to be played on your road, on

605
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 6: the road, and you know, we need to come out

606
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 6: with road wins. We understand that. We know that. And

607
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 6: uh and particularly like I said before, as you get

608
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 6: late in the season, you know, winning road games are

609
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 6: you know, important to where we want to be. So

610
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 6: you know, we're trying to play our best every single game,

611
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 6: regardless of home or away. But it is something that's

612
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 6: on our radar and something that we do need to

613
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 6: perform better on the on the road.

614
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 16: And one other thing, you play your corners right and

615
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 16: left pretty much. It looks like, is there any chance

616
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 16: if Ward is out you might adjust that.

617
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we we've we've matched at different times

618
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 6: this year. Maybe it's gone a little bit below the radar,

619
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 6: but we've had times, you know that we've mad and

620
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 6: flip sides and different things like that. It really just

621
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,239
Speaker 6: goes on a on a game by game basis. You know,

622
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 6: it used to be a little bit easier to match

623
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 6: receivers Tony when everybody was lining up in two backs

624
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 6: and there wasn't a ton of motion. But you know,

625
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 6: now the stuff with all the stacks and all the

626
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 6: hot motions going back and forth and the jet motions

627
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 6: and things like that, offenses have really made it difficult

628
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 6: to you know, to to just lock on to one guy.

629
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 6: So you know that a lot of times that's that's

630
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 6: where we end up playing right and left and playing

631
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 6: the guys and you know, whether Denzel's in there or not.

632
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 6: We have confidence in our corners, our corners, particularly particularly Greg.

633
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 6: He knows he didn't play his best game against Denver,

634
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 6: and he he has a lot of pride as a player.

635
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 6: He has a lot of confidence as a player, and

636
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 6: I'd expect him to bounce back well in this game.

637
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: The players were next, and Joe Flacco was up first.

638
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: The Browns quarterback talked about what he missed most about

639
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: playing when he was unsigned and if he's ready to

640
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: step in if needed this weekend.

641
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, it's I think when you when you're

642
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 18: able to focus on a game plan, you can come

643
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 18: pretty far. And obviously getting out and being able to run,

644
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 18: actually run stuff and call stuff that goes a long

645
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 18: way too.

646
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 19: So, Joe, it's looking like there's a decent chance you

647
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 19: could start Sunday if DTR is not at acussion protocol.

648
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 19: Your thoughts on you know, just a couple of weeks ago,

649
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 19: you're waiting for an opportunity.

650
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 4: Now you're gonna be potentially starting on Sunday.

651
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 13: Against the Rams.

652
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 7: I think that's it. I mean, just opportunity.

653
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 18: I think, you know, I love playing this game, and

654
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 18: anytime an opportunity, you know, kind of presents itself, you

655
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 18: just got to be patient and you know, see what's

656
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:44,959
Speaker 18: in store for you.

657
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 7: And you know that's what I'm doing right now.

658
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 18: I'm taking it day by day and just trying to

659
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 18: you know, go about my business and you know, see

660
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 18: where it takes us.

661
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 19: It's got to be exciting though, that you're going to

662
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 19: have that opportunity so quickly after signing.

663
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 18: It's definitely exciting the idea of it. You know, there's

664
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 18: a lot of things you know about being at this

665
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 18: point in my life that make it really exciting, even

666
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 18: besides just playing the game of football. You know, there's

667
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 18: so many things that add to it. Now having young

668
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 18: kids and having feeling their excitement about it, you know,

669
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 18: and when you are away, you just you know, you

670
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 18: put things in perspective a little bit, and you know,

671
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 18: like I said, you just try to, you know, let

672
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 18: these opportunities take care of themselves and do your best.

673
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 7: To be ready for them.

674
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 11: If you was talking about this morning, like how in

675
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 11: the fuddle, your play calling your comfort level? So does

676
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 11: that just come from your sixteenth seasons in the league

677
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 11: or as it come from just the way that you've

678
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 11: been accolated to this teams past.

679
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 18: Listen, I think any time that you've done something for

680
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 18: so long, then yeah, there's there. It's it's like it's

681
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 18: like riding a bike. You get in the huddle and

682
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 18: you call play. I will say, like the first walkthrough

683
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 18: I did yesterday, it took five plays to kind of

684
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 18: like get back.

685
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 7: In the rhythm of doing things.

686
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 18: You know, and there's different words, so you know, you

687
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 18: got to get used to like hearing them and then

688
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 18: actually saying them, not just picturing them on a screen.

689
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 7: So they're there.

690
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 18: It's so valuable to be able to get some reps

691
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 18: like that in the case that you do play, because,

692
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 18: like I said, that's easy stuff, but you do take

693
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 18: it for granted. But yeah, I definitely have the years

694
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 18: of experience to help me out a little bit.

695
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 15: It was some day, you know, just being able to

696
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 15: be on the sidelines, have the ear beats in and

697
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 15: and kind of hear how everything operates on a game

698
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 15: day with this this team.

699
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 6: How much does that help you?

700
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 18: Yeah, listen, I don't know if you're totally aware of

701
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 18: it at the time, but I think looking back and

702
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 18: having the possibility of playing this week, it's definitely a

703
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 18: help to to be around as long as you can

704
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 18: be and and get a feel for how all the

705
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 18: operations are, get a feel for guys on the sideline

706
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 18: and and and how they go about things where they sit,

707
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 18: you know, who who goes over things with who, So

708
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 18: the whole process, I think looking back definitely breaks in

709
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 18: a little bit.

710
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 19: Joe Alexell, your office or sits to the scale one

711
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 19: to five arm strength, You've got a five. Have you

712
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 19: felt that as you've kind of worked your vain way back.

713
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 13: Into the flow of things.

714
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 18: Listen, my arm feels good. I think I did a

715
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 18: decent job of keeping it in shape. I think, no

716
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 18: matter what, when you come back here and you have

717
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 18: a little bit of nerves and you're you're, you're you're

718
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 18: because of those nerves, you're a little bit you're pushing

719
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 18: a little bit extra hard and you want to you

720
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 18: want to leave a good first impression. You always press

721
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 18: a little bit so you there's always in that extra

722
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 18: little level. I think that you've got to get your

723
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 18: arm ready to go. That's hard to do when you're

724
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 18: on your own. But honestly, I don't think about my

725
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 18: arm feels good. Besides that, I don't think about the

726
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 18: strength of it and all that. I'm just trying to

727
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 18: make the throws. I'm trying to do, make the throws

728
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 18: with touch, make the throws that I need to put

729
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 18: in there. I'm trying to put them in there. Uh,

730
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 18: you know, I'm worried about being on time in rhythm

731
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 18: and all those things more than I am about you know.

732
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 7: How how you know how strong the walls getting there necess.

733
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 20: That you are going to start and have all day.

734
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 6: So we're just kind of dancing home to tire.

735
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 20: But I mean, can we.

736
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 6: Say you are starting with games?

737
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 18: Yeah, I I would say you can't say that definitively.

738
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 18: I'm obviously not the guy to ask about that. Like

739
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 18: I said, I'm just taking it practice by practice, and

740
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 18: you know, grateful for the opportunity to at least get

741
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 18: out here and practice these plays so that you know,

742
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 18: if I am the guy, I have some something under

743
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 18: my belt.

744
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 6: Joe, what did what.

745
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 13: Did you miss most when you were kind out?

746
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 7: I think the obvious answer everybody says it. You know.

747
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 18: If you if you've ever hear heard a retired guy

748
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 18: come back and talk about what they miss, you know it.

749
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 18: It's it's being on trips like this with the guys,

750
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 18: like you know, going and getting breakfast, lunch, sitting at

751
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 18: the table and just you know, shooting the breeze and uh,

752
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 18: you know all that stuff. I I tell you, like

753
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 18: out here yesterday, you know you always had like I said,

754
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 18: I talked about having like a little bit of nerves,

755
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 18: wanting to make good impressions, and you come out here

756
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 18: and you've done a million Wednesday practices, but y y,

757
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 18: you wanna you know, you wanna have a good one,

758
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 18: and then to go out there and I feel like

759
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 18: you did have a good one. Is the excitement, the

760
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 18: the what you feel inside just over a practice.

761
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 7: I don't know.

762
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 18: There's there's not too many things that are better in

763
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 18: the world than just you know, playing good sound football

764
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 18: and feeling good about it. You know, that's what That's

765
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 18: what winning is all about.

766
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 7: It.

767
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 18: It's about doing it with your teammates and enjoying that experience.

768
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 18: So you miss that the dinner.

769
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 13: Does the new guy have to do that?

770
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 18: I definitely we went up to dinner when we got here.

771
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 18: I definitely helped out. But there's some other veterans in

772
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 18: the room. I can't take all that. I can't take

773
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 18: credit for like picking up the bill, but I did

774
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 18: help out.

775
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 7: Listen, I've been around forever.

776
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 18: I know everybody likes to put it on rookies and

777
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 18: things like that. But you know that's all good and fun,

778
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 18: but that's not really how this the culture is. You

779
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 18: want to take care of your guys and and all that,

780
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 18: so you have fun.

781
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 2: So last week you said you thought you had plenty

782
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: left in the tank, and ABP said today that when

783
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: you saw you practice yesterday, he said the same thing. Right,

784
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: Joe's right, But you talked about having those nerves and

785
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 2: feeling that emotion. So did yesterday proved something to yourself?

786
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: Even did you have some doubts.

787
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 18: No, I didn't have doubts about how I can go

788
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 18: out there and do things. I think it's just the

789
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,479
Speaker 18: excitement of getting it back out there and being able

790
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 18: to do it and wanting to do well and listen,

791
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 18: just because I have a lot left in the tank

792
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 18: doesn't mean I'm going to come out here and make

793
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 18: every single throw and not make mistakes.

794
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:18,479
Speaker 7: I think.

795
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 18: I think, at least on the practice field, it's learning

796
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 18: to embrace those things and get better from them and

797
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 18: move on and use them as a learning experience, but

798
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 18: not necessarily anything to prove to myself. I think every

799
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 18: time you take the field there's always a little bit

800
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 18: of a level to that, and for me more, you know,

801
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 18: I feel those things because you want to be part

802
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 18: of the team, because you're capable of being part of

803
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 18: the team, and no matter how capable you are. I

804
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 18: think you always have to prove that to your teammates.

805
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 18: You want your teammates to feel like, man, we got

806
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 18: a chance to win with this guy. And I think

807
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 18: that's why it's important to go out there and work

808
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 18: hard and have a good Chris practice, because you want

809
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 18: everybody to feel that, because then the more confidence you

810
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 18: go into the to the game with. You know, if

811
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 18: you have guys that you believe in, confidence helps out.

812
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 13: You played with He played with Elijen last year.

813
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 15: Yeah, how much has he been somebody you've you've kind of,

814
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 15: you know, talked to, leaned on a little bit that

815
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 15: kind of helped get your speed.

816
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 7: Yeah.

817
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 18: I love Elijah, uh, you know, textually with him a

818
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 18: couple of weeks ago when I was driving my way

819
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 18: out to Cleveland.

820
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 7: I think he's a hell of a player.

821
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 18: I was with him two years in New York, got

822
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 18: to play a couple of games with him his rookie year,

823
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 18: a little bit last year as well. I think he's

824
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 18: got a bunch of talent and he's a great kid.

825
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 18: So it's definitely nice to there's a few familiar faces

826
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 18: on the team. I think that definitely helps with the

827
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 18: initial transition to the.

828
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 6: Twenty one Buffalo game. You come in the fourth quarter.

829
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 18: Do you remember your first pass twenty twenty one Buffalo game.

830
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 7: Where I was in New York?

831
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 18: Yeah, oh, I I think I hit. I want to

832
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 18: say I hit like a little tight end on like

833
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 18: a little checkdown or something.

834
00:38:58,880 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 10: Was it?

835
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 13: There?

836
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 7: You go? I came in for one drive in that game.

837
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 18: You know what, it took me, Like obviously, it took

838
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 18: me a minute to even remember that I came in

839
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 18: in that game.

840
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 7: And that was a crap drive. That was a two

841
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 7: minute drive. They were beating us by I think a

842
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 7: good amount. It was a two minute drive.

843
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 18: They kind of gave us a bunch of little soft

844
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 18: stuff and I think I do think we scored a touchdown,

845
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 18: but it wasn't.

846
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 7: That was like garbage time. You know. So the games were.

847
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 6: Taking this year.

848
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 13: How do you come back to it?

849
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 10: Maybe you get hungrier than.

850
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 18: You uh, you know, the last couple of years, I

851
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 18: haven't like been the guy, so I've had a little

852
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 18: taste of not being able to play. So it just,

853
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 18: you know, it just it definitely makes you grateful for

854
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 18: the opportunities and you realize, you realize when you're sitting

855
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 18: over on the sidelines what you're missing, and you realize

856
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 18: when you do get that little bit of a taste

857
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 18: like I have the last couple of years. I've always

858
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 18: gotten a little taste of going out there and playing

859
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 18: with the guys and and all that stuff. And you know,

860
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 18: so you endure all these tough times where you're not

861
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 18: the guy, and then like last year, at the end

862
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 18: of the year, I got to play against Miami in

863
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 18: the last game of the season, and you remember what

864
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 18: you're doing it for, and you remember how awesome it

865
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 18: is and all those things, and so it definitely puts

866
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 18: things in perspective. I think every now and then, like

867
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 18: you know, eventually you you view everybody've used their profession

868
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 18: as a job to at some level. And you know,

869
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 18: we always say like we're not really working, we're just

870
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 18: doing what we did as kids.

871
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 7: But I think every you always are going to view

872
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,479
Speaker 7: it as a job to some level.

873
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 18: And I think when you get a little bit of

874
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 18: time to not be able to do what you love

875
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 18: to do, it does give you that chance to like

876
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 18: stop and reflect and say, man, it is a kid's game,

877
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 18: and how much and you realize how much you do

878
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 18: love it and how much we are lucky to do

879
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 18: what we are doing.

880
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 11: So more a lot of the wide receiver are You've

881
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 11: talked about the.

882
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 5: Importance of communication, like over the person of this.

883
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 11: Season, so just like in this this pass, how have

884
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 11: you know.

885
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 18: It's that communication with them especially to do Yeah, well, see,

886
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 18: the thing is is like we have a couple of

887
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 18: days to get you know, on the same page, and

888
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 18: I'm not not everythings gonna be perfect, and you know,

889
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 18: you gotta save guy's legs. So guys aren't gonna be

890
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 18: getting a ton of reps. So a lot of it,

891
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 18: I would say early on is gonna be feel. And

892
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 18: then you take that feel and you know, we've had

893
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 18: a I've had a bunch of reps with a handful

894
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 18: of guys out here, and you start to see how

895
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 18: they're gonna run routes and then you communicate with them

896
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 18: or or hey, if you get press here, how can

897
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 18: I expect you to do it? And it might not

898
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 18: be exactly how it happens in the game, but at

899
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 18: least you have a little base of of of uh,

900
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 18: what to expect. That's why coming out here in practicing

901
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 18: is so important because you get to you get to

902
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 18: run the place and you get to see those little

903
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 18: issues that are gonna come up, and it just naturally

904
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 18: sparks those conversations.

905
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 6: A lot of guys that they are mopping the balls.

906
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 20: You have communities and you know, sometimes changing quarterback or

907
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 20: quarterback or your quarterback.

908
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 6: And the place where it's difficult to adjust to.

909
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 3: The ball like that.

910
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 20: You haven't been to watch much practice, but have there

911
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 20: been you know, plenty of balls.

912
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 18: Any of your hands that used to And I don't

913
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 18: know if we've had any drops. I missed a few

914
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 18: guys on uh, you know, missed a couple guy. I

915
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 18: think I missed Elijah on a double move yesterday and

916
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 18: missed them on a double move today.

917
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 7: But besides that, you know, I don't know.

918
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 18: Sometimes drops you know, listen, you want to play well

919
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 18: as an offense, and you want to go out there

920
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 18: and put points on board, and you know, you start

921
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 18: to press a little bit, you fight a little bit

922
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 18: too hard, and then your body's like a little bit off.

923
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 18: You're not just running smooth and and all those things. Uh,

924
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 18: there's a lot of things that go into that. So

925
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 18: I think the more that we can kind of get

926
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 18: into the groove and guys can feel confident about everything,

927
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 18: then those things will stop. I think it's usually more

928
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 18: you know, a little bit more mental and just kind

929
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 18: of fighting too hard, pressing a little bit where those

930
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 18: mistakes happened.

931
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 20: Do you think that because you down so long that

932
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 20: you'll be able to maybe calm the.

933
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 15: Waters a little bit?

934
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 20: I mean, if that starts, you've got that call me

935
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 20: presents in them.

936
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 6: So getting out of it.

937
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 18: Yeah, listen, I hope it's not needed, but I definite

938
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 18: and only believe is the job of a quarterback to

939
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 18: make sure that you know, he's somebody that people can

940
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 18: look at and you know, if they're not sure how

941
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 18: to react to a situation, they should be able to

942
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 18: look at that guy and see how they should react. So,

943
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 18: like I said, hopefully, you know, we don't need too

944
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 18: much of that.

945
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 7: But these NFL games they're all hard.

946
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 18: There's going to be some point where we're gonna need

947
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 18: to fight through some stuff and if needed, hopefully I

948
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 18: can be that guy that they'll look at.

949
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 4: Joman told us.

950
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 21: Last week, you were thrown but not to pro guys,

951
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 21: Like was it high school guys?

952
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: Was it?

953
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 13: Like?

954
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 18: No, It's like me and my brother out there on

955
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 18: the field, spot throwing for each other, spot catching, keeping

956
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 18: our arms in shape, you know, doing a little bit

957
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 18: of running, keeping the legs in shape. But you know,

958
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 18: in terms of throwing, it wasn't like it was anything crazy.

959
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 18: It was two or three times a week, you know,

960
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 18: making sure that I didn't overdo it. But you know,

961
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 18: when I came back, if I you know, if I

962
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 18: got on a team that I wasn't going to be

963
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 18: overloaded with you know, a practice and then by the

964
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 18: time Sunday came around, if I needed to play, my

965
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 18: arm wasn't going to feel the way I wanted it

966
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 18: to feel. But listen, like, that's really what it's all about.

967
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 18: I mean, how many no matter if you're throwing, if

968
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 18: it'd probably be worse. Honestly, if I was throwing the

969
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 18: high school guys and then all of a sudden, I

970
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 18: get out here and guys are running four fours and

971
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 18: those guys are running four nines. You know, nothing against

972
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 18: those guys back at home. But you know, it's one

973
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 18: of those things that I think your eyes and your

974
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 18: arm they all adapt to. You just have to have

975
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 18: confidence and trust that it's you know, the guys are

976
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 18: gonna be in the right spot.

977
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 13: How about your first.

978
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 6: Aaron possibly, what's it like?

979
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 18: Aaron's a hell of a player, but you know, you

980
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 18: trust the guys in front of you. There's so many

981
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 18: good players in this league, and no matter what the team,

982
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 18: there's somebody that you know is on the other side

983
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 18: that you have to worry about because you know they're

984
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 18: that level of player. I mean, we have our guys

985
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 18: as well, so you know, I remember back in high

986
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 18: school you look across the field and you're like, wow,

987
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 18: that look at that guy, you know, and he's so

988
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 18: much different than everybody. When you get to the NFL,

989
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 18: you look out there and they're all like that, and

990
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 18: it's just like, I think the one time it's ever

991
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 18: I've ever looked.

992
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 7: Across the ball, it was actually like a little bit

993
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 7: like taken back. Was my rookie year. We played in

994
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 7: Dallas and they had DeMarcus where Canny.

995
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 18: They had like three or four guys and we with

996
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 18: our first time the first time we got the ball,

997
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 18: we were on like the backed up on the one

998
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 18: yard line and I remember running out and like looking

999
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 18: up at those guys and I swear to god, they

1000
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 18: were as tall as this roof is right here. That

1001
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 18: was the one time I think in the NFL that

1002
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 18: I was actually like, where are these guys? Where are

1003
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 18: these guys from? You know, they they were that much

1004
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 18: different than everybody else.

1005
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 7: That was on the field.

1006
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: So safety Grant Delpit talk next, and he talked about

1007
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: how good of a quarterback Matthew Stafford is for the

1008
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: Rams and how staying in LA has been helping the

1009
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: team this week.

1010
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 11: Is what especially for you, what Skins at to you

1011
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 11: about just the way that they upgrade and fetters.

1012
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 10: So it starts with the guns Lander. They got a

1013
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 10: quarterback man Stafford has been around the league for things.

1014
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 10: It's I don't know what year, fourteen thirteenth is one

1015
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 10: of them. So he does a good job of spreading

1016
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 10: the ball around. They got a nice rookie receiver that's

1017
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 10: come about, uh with and Pooka, you know, Cooper Cups

1018
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 10: getting back healthy. So you know they they spread the

1019
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 10: ball around man and and they do a great job

1020
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 10: of of getting guys open. So that's something that we

1021
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 10: gotta control. But we love passing games. That's dB. So

1022
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 10: it's opportunity.

1023
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 11: How do you feel about.

1024
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 20: Your guys maybe having a veteran quarterback out there? You

1025
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 20: know what's before where uh you know Joe White starts

1026
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 20: to strength?

1027
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 10: Yes, yeah, you know, we we've seen him what Joker

1028
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 10: do last year? We not we not we we don't

1029
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 10: like to talk about it, but you know he came

1030
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 10: and beat us, so you know, I we know he

1031
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 10: still got it, man, And he's a he's a savvy

1032
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 10: vet and he seeing everything. So I know that Elijah's

1033
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 10: very familiar with him, playing with him last year, and

1034
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 10: I know they got some chemistry, man, So I'm excited

1035
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 10: to see whoever goes out there. But you know, as

1036
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 10: I say all the time, I play defense. We on

1037
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 10: the deepent side, so we try to f control. We

1038
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 10: can control run yourself at ball?

1039
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 2: What do you close through your head when you see

1040
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 2: Miles kind of banged out? And then you know, I

1041
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 2: know the exp expectation he's gonna play through and tough

1042
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:16,959
Speaker 2: it out, but you know he's your leader.

1043
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 10: So what do you kind of think what you see him?

1044
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 10: I didn't. I didn't know it. It was a such

1045
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 10: thing as Miles being banged up.

1046
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 7: Man.

1047
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 10: He got in a car accident last year and walked away.

1048
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 10: It played the next week or something like a two weeks.

1049
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 10: So man, he's a.

1050
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 15: He's a.

1051
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 10: He's a he's like the incredible Hope man. So that

1052
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 10: dude is different. So but you know, any banged up entry,

1053
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 10: he's taking care of it right now. I don't know

1054
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 10: if he'll be out there this weekend. I hope he is.

1055
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 10: But if he's not, he's not. We gotta reload. You know.

1056
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 10: We got a lot of good pass rushes. We have

1057
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 10: a great D line, So the guys know what they're doing,

1058
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 10: and uh, we're gonna be alright great you guys.

1059
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 21: The defensive numbers are are really good on the road,

1060
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 21: they'd occasionally expike to the other way.

1061
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 4: Is there anything to that or is that just football?

1062
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1063
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 7: You right?

1064
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 10: Like uh, Denver Seattle giving up a couple of plays

1065
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 10: here and there. So I think us being out here

1066
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 10: for a week is definitely gonna help us.

1067
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 7: Man.

1068
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 10: We gonna have fresh legs, We're used to the weather,

1069
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 10: we used to the environment. We're comfortable. So I think

1070
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 10: that we're gonna start fast on defensive, finish strong.

1071
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 20: The fast that that you guys came out here and

1072
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 20: or in sunshine, does it make it all the more

1073
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 20: sweet that showing back home?

1074
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, twenty six degree is or something.

1075
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 10: Uh yeah, I mean it's it's it's it's comfortable for sure,

1076
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 10: uh for for us from the south, but you know,

1077
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 10: we we miss Cleveland.

1078
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 3: Man.

1079
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 10: We can't wait to get home, play in front our

1080
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 10: home fans. It's it's bad for opponents, opponents when we

1126
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 10: gonna prepare us. And they ran the ball too much

1127
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 10: last game, so we got a big emphasis on that.

1128
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,120

Speaker 10: It looks good. He throws a very pretty ball.

1186
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 4: Uh.

1187
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 22: You know, I don't know if it's intentional or what,

1188
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 22: but when he drops it back and he lets it

1189
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 22: go the whole motion, it's like it's.

1190
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 10: Like poetry in motion. It looks good.

1191
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 18: Uh.

1192
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1193
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 11: You talked about a lot of about how communication is

1194
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 11: really important. So as you guys are operated with Joe,

1195
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 11: how has that.

1196
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 13: Communication make go on this week?

1197
00:52:58,840 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1198
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 22: Communication is uh very important, you know, just to be

1199
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 22: on the same page. Actually, Uh, we was talking today

1200
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 22: about two routes actually just to and you know, he

1201
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 22: just reiterated that it's just important for us to be on.

1202
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 10: The same page on on those routes. So, I mean,

1203
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 10: it's it's always important.

1204
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 14: You know.

1205
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 10: He aksed me how I was looking to run a

1206
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 10: certain route versus a certain look.

1207
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 22: So now that we're on the same page, we can

1208
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 22: move on to the next uh, you know, the next

1209
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 22: form of communication about uh, the next route.

1210
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 10: So yeah, with him one of.

1211
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 20: The big U are you excited about, you know, getting

1212
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 20: some mose expluensives back to growing around?

1213
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1214
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 22: Of course, I mean, you know that's what the game

1215
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 22: is about, you know, making explosive plays, getting good field

1216
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 22: positions so that we can score points.

1217
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 15: Yeah.

1218
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 2: Is it difficult to build in short enough time that's

1219
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 2: only been in or we can have but you know,

1220
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 2: practice and a bunch is it?

1221
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 7: Does that make it?

1222
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 13: Given that much stuff for those field times?

1223
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's why the communication has to be on point.

1224
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 15: Uh.

1225
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 22: I wouldn't say it's difficult because with him being a veteran, uh,

1226
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 22: with me being a veteran, we kind of know what

1227
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 22: uh what certain routes, what the connection on certain routes

1228
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 22: it's supposed to look like like we can eliminate a

1229
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 22: a whole bunch of a whole bunch of uh scenarios already.

1230
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 10: You know, I knew, Yeah, I I know.

1231
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 15: He wasn't you know, active or anything last Sunday in Denver,

1232
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 15: but he was there on this island. Did you have

00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:23,680

Speaker 22: I I know that he has ah ah a wealth

1253
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 22: of knowledge. He played with, you know, not just a

1254
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 22: lot of great receivers, but a lot of good players,

1255

1256
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 22: of good players, you know, on the defensive side of ball,

1257
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 22: they could teach him, you know, more about his position

1258
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 22: and what not to do and all those things.

1259
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,960

1268
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean it, it's it's part of the game.

1269
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 22: You know, it's a it's a reason, you know. I

1270
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 22: I love playing his game, even though I was on

1271
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 22: the receiving end of it. I mean, you know, if

1272
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 22: it was easy, everybody would do it.

1273
00:55:59,800 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 18: Yeah.

1274
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1275
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 10: It was just actually something I was thinking about the other.

1276
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 22: Day before Sunday, and I was I think I saw

1277
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 22: a clip of Tom Brady talking about, you know, how

1278
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 22: how much the game has changed and stuff like that,

1279
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 22: and I can remember, I think I believe I was

1280
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 22: in like the seventh grade, sixth grade.

1281
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 10: I know I was in middle school.

1282
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 22: Remember the day when Sean Taylor died, you know, and

1283
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 22: and you know if it was him and that it

1284
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 22: would have been much harder. But I could remember just

1285
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 22: everybody crying, like all like all my teammates, everybody who

1286
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 22: played football, like they were crying in class when they

1287
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 22: when they found this out, because it happened like I

1288
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 22: I believe it like in the week hours of the morning,

1289
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 22: and so when we were in school like at maybe

1290
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 22: like ten.

1291
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 10: O'clock when everybody like realized the news.

1292
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 22: Guys were crying because they just appreciated how much I

1293
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 22: ha how he played the game.

1294
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 10: And I appreciated how much he played the game, and

1295
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 10: so you know, this is why we loved football.

1296
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 22: So nah, I thought it was a clean hit by

1297
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 22: by by way of what I felt, uh, And I

1298
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 22: didn't have any problems with it though, I.

1299
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 20: Know obviously if you don't know, they had a ship

1300
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,839
Speaker 20: started feeling like how imploring if you fas to start

Speaker 10: I mean, uh, it's it's utterly important.

1307
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:14,959
Speaker 22: I mean, you know, most of the game is played

1308
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 22: up here, and you know, when you've been playing a

1309
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 22: game for almost twenty years, you have so much knowledge.

1310
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 22: You know that knowledge is power, and it it just

1311
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 22: makes things easier out there. So uh, you know the

1312
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 22: game is gonna be very slow to 'em one hundred.

1313

00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:32,919
Speaker 13: You've talked about this before.

1316
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,040

Speaker 15: Uh?

1322
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 22: I mean just to be available? You know I've seen

1323
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 22: time and time again. Uh, it doesn't matter how talented

1324
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 22: you are. If you're not available, then it's like you're

1325
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 22: not talented here. I mean, so, you know, just being

1326
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 22: able to to to to be available for my team.

1327
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 22: And really I always ask myself one question when trying

1328
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 22: to determine, you know, whether or not I should I

1329
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 22: should try to push or.

1330
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 10: Play through an injury. And I asked you, this is

1331
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,000

1332
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 7: What I play?

1333
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 10: And if the answer is yes, then.

1334
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 3: You know why not?

1335
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:16,560

00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 6: You probably don't want.

1337
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 20: To get specific or just because your roots crap or

1338
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 20: her doesn't mean that they're back.

1339
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,720
