1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Obviously today's Wednesday. This has really officially started our start 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: of Denver Week. We've got a preview over the last 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: few days with the players in the Denver, but today 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,319 Speaker 1: we kind of kept a normal week schedule, jumping straight in. 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: You know, our focus today is really early down situations 6 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: will previous a little bit of third down, you know 7 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: that it moves into tomorrow's progression third down and dipping 8 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: into the red area a little bit as we get 9 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 1: going right there. I'd say obviously, starting with this team, 10 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: it starts with the head coach, you know, Vic Fangioe, 11 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: and he's obviously been one of the top defensive minds 12 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: for decades in this league. He's had a lot of success. 13 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: I think his team plays with his identity. That's an 14 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: aggressive downhill mindset. They play very tough, they play very disciplined. Uh, 15 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: they take opportunities to make plays. They're not looking to 16 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: get through any situation. Look going to make home run 17 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: play plays on whatever they do. You know, as you 18 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: go through the coordinators, obviously don Tell and Vic have 19 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: a history together. You know, it does a great job 20 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: with the back and the tying together aggressive fronts and blitz. 21 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: Is that Vic puts together. Uh, they're working other very well. 22 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: It's been one of the top defense in the league 23 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: for some time now. You know, you turn over and 24 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: you look into the offense. Look, Pat Shermer's an outstanding coach. 25 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: He's done a fantastic job. Hunt respect for him as 26 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: a man, ton of respect for him as a coach, 27 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: a lot of respect for what he did for this 28 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: organization as well as well as some other play stuff 29 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: compete against him at You know, one thing Pat's gonna 30 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: do is Pat's gonna look at your history and he's 31 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: gonna expose some things you've put on tapes. Would be 32 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: very mindful about not only our own past experience against Pat, 33 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: but also different times that he's seeing this scheme or 34 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: schemes that are similar to this, and things that could 35 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: be exposed with He does a great job of getting players, 36 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: you know, in matchups, is a great job of creating 37 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: an explosive plays for players. It starts with a run 38 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: game with Pat does a great job of getting this 39 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: thing downhill, setting the play action pass game. I think 40 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: right now, bridge War is doing a great job of 41 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: operating within his offense, of making good decisions, facilitating the 42 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: offense getting the ball moving consistently going on down tying 43 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: in that running back combination they have right there with 44 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: two talented running backs, and obviously they have one of 45 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: the top, if not the top receiving corps in the 46 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: entire league. You're tie a bunch of very talented tight ends, 47 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: you know, and right there they got a skill group 48 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: is very tough to match up against for any team 49 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: in the league. Would be a great challenge for us 50 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: this week, you know, as you getting the time with 51 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: the special teams. One thing end of a time. He's 52 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: very very aggressive history personally going against some does team 53 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: back and Tom Quinn. When you know you play against time, 54 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: you know you gotta play against some smoke and mirrors. 55 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: Gonna be very sound, and your assignment sheets communicated across 56 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: the board, and it's about moving to confuse your blockers 57 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: on your punt team and your kickoff return. It's about 58 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: formations to see if they get you out of whack 59 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: and make you adjust. He's always setting up the next place, 60 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: so we'll show you something on one plane's looking for 61 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: the fake coming the next time, feeling adjust accordingly. So 62 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: it turns us playing on the same page and all 63 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: three phases been critical to our success this week. We 64 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: have to have a good week of practice. It is 65 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: a very good opponent coming in. There's not a team 66 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: that dips are telling the water. It's a fast start 67 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: team that's gonna come out swinging. We have to make 68 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: sure we have a good week of practice from Wednesday, 69 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday and carried over into the game on Sunday. 70 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: That'll be in settled with any questions you may have. 71 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: So obviously there's something new because you haven't practiced it 72 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: with sake Kawon, But can you be specific on some 73 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: of the things that you're looking forward you want to 74 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: see today and tomorrow. Yeah, A large degree with what 75 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: I want to see is kind of how you responds 76 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: to some contact we're gonna and Pat say, you know, 77 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: bumping some guys around a little bit, some different drills 78 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna do, and then I want to see how 79 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: he put together three straight days of work as well. 80 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: That there's a big part and just watching how players 81 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: bodies respond. He's no different than a lot of other 82 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: guys we have right now coming off of injury that 83 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: we'll have to see if these next three days in 84 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: terms of what they can handle by load and how 85 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: we think their bodies gonna respond going on the Sunday. 86 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: We've got to make the best decision for everybody's health 87 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: going in the game. Sake want is no different than that. 88 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: So we're taking that lens of you know, player safety 89 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: as we go ahead. Look at all these guys. For 90 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: the old Joe, what have you seen from him in 91 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: regards to his explosion and his ability to cut? Now, 92 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of improvement. Yeah. I think when 93 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: you come off an injury like this was obviously a 94 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: significant injury, you know, there's a confidence level that a 95 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: lot of people go through. I was obviously ever an 96 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: explosive athlete myself, but I've had similar injuries that I 97 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: can tell you that you've got to get over that 98 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: wall of confidence. Uh. I've seen Sa Kwan pushed through 99 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: that with how he works, and I think the confidence 100 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: comes from what you demonstrate through your rehab and then 101 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: build into the team as you get to go on 102 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: with them. I've seen him improved, excuse me, improve his 103 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: movement skills. I've seen his football conditioning um really improved 104 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: obviously as he got into just playing football with us 105 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: towards the tail and the training camp and through his 106 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, that's probably been a daily increase 107 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: in improvement form and a lot of that's just natural. 108 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: You're out of football for that length of time, Jordan, 109 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: you gotta get back into the movements, the execution of plays. 110 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things going to that. But I 111 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: have seen him progress on a daily basis, so I'm 112 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: very pleasing. How close to last year do you see 113 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: that being? You know, in regards to that, and because 114 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: you talk about like needing to see him in contact 115 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: and stuff, does that mean in your mind he's there 116 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: on you know, the speed, explosion, ability to cut arius. 117 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: Some of that's what we gotta see this week too. 118 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: We gotta put himrough a couple of different things with that, 119 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: just see how it responds to different movements. But he's 120 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: progressed nicely. He's gotten better. Force. I want to make 121 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: sure you make the best decision for him long term. 122 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: I can't stress that enough. Is if we look at 123 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: Sa Kwan, he's a young player, he's a very talented player. 124 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: He's a guy who's been a leader for this team, 125 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: has been elected captain, you know, second straight year Force 126 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: and he's been a captain before that as well. But 127 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, speaking you know just about se Kwan in general, 128 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: is you know, we got to make sure that we 129 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: do the best thing for him, and ultimately the best 130 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: thing for him will be besting for the team. Ris 131 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Darius Tony stand in his status for Sunday and is 132 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: it realistic even though he hasn't been on the field 133 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: much for him to have a significant role, whether it 134 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: be in the kicker turn game or an off say 135 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: in terms of SIGNI can I look at that not 136 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: so much as volume, but you know, uh, production, I'd 137 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: say it is realistic for him him to have a 138 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: significant role based on how he practice this week. We're 139 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: seeing his health improved. We've seen him do a lot 140 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: of things with the team as we kept on moving. 141 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: He's handled the installs very well. Let's say, for a 142 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: player who hasn't seen obviously preseason games are a lot 143 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: of significant time volume wise on the field with the 144 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: guys through preseason. You know, he's been able to go 145 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: out there and manage it and execute and practice we 146 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: ask them to. I think that's a tribute to how 147 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: he's worked off the field. Things attribute to the coaches. 148 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: Tyke and Russ of how they've gotten some extra work 149 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: with him and meeting work throughout training camp to get 150 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: him caught up to speed and making sure him and 151 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: Kenny and some other players who were nicked and bang 152 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: through at training camp didn't lose that mental install as 153 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: we went on through physically. How would you how would 154 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: you compare Daniel Jones to where he is right now 155 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: getting ready for this opener week one too, where he 156 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: was as player quarterback last year at this time before 157 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: the opener. I think the biggest difference obviously just time 158 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: in the system. He's obviously a year further in the league. 159 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: We didn't have preseason games last year, we didn't have 160 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: any kind of spring last year. Training camp itself was 161 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: just tremendously different, limited on time. So I think obviously 162 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: the time he's had to prepare and view his teammates, 163 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, has helped him. I've seen a lot of 164 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: growth with him throughout the off season and carried through spring, 165 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: training camp and in the regular season right now. In 166 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: terms of being a leader, being a guy really, you know, 167 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: his vocal with the team gets the guy's going on. 168 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: He's not a cheerleader, which I like, you know, I 169 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: don't like raw rod guys run around, to be honest 170 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: with you, I like guys who just kind of about 171 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: it and the line up and they do their job 172 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: and guys respond to it, and that's really what Daniel is. 173 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: So he's definitely progressed within his craft. And he's a 174 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: young player in this league. He has a lot of 175 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: room to grow. But I think he works on daily 176 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: basis that he's going to go ahead and take all 177 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: the necessary steps put himself in position to maximize the potential. 178 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: A million questions about Tony and Gola Davis Camp, I 179 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: don't I don't know if you've been asked anything about 180 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: Darius Slayton. He's just sort of flown under the radar. 181 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: What have you seen from him in terms of the 182 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: progress from last year? And you talked to new previous 183 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: answer about not like necessarily raw rod guys. Did you 184 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: see that from him too, that he's just sort of 185 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: a steady eddie. I see a lot of the guys. 186 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: Let me honestly, look, I don't think we really have 187 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: a lot of raw rock. As on a locker room. 188 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: We got guys have natural juice. We have guys that 189 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: come out and they practice hard. We have guys that 190 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: feed off the energy the guy next to them and 191 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: get guys going. When I think about cheerleaders, I think 192 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: about guys who are you know, they wait till Sunday 193 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: morning to wake up, turn on some you know song 194 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: that gets them all kind of riled up, and then okay, 195 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: you're ready to play. Like you you win the game 196 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, you win the game in the 197 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: training room, getting your body health, you win the game 198 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: and the waiter and you win the game in the 199 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: off season doing all the right things. When I see 200 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: our guys work and then out there just you know, 201 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: pumping themselves up and whistling by the graveyard, I know 202 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: they're getting ourselves a chance to have success and improve 203 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: on a daily basis. But in terms of slating directly, 204 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: he had a good camp force. You know, I don't 205 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,559 Speaker 1: think he flew on the radar us watching the tape 206 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: every day. You know, things that he's really improved on 207 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: to me is his route running is really taking a 208 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: step forward. That's something I look at, you know this 209 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: year compared to last year, is just his efficiency with 210 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: you know, limiting wasted movements and routes, getting off the 211 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: ball and playing to his speed. Um, you know, making 212 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: tough catches. He's done that, you know throughout camp on 213 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: a daily basis. You know, we gotta keep moving in 214 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: that direction. I think his physical conditioning this year compared 215 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: to last year. But that's that's that's true with all 216 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: of our players went through our program last year. You 217 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: kind of look at all these guys. You guys asked 218 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: me all time about conditioning, different things. Well, some of 219 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: the things we look at is when you look at 220 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: the players who have gone through our program, okay, from 221 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: last year this year, the difference in where their bodies are, 222 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: in the difference of what they've been able to stay 223 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: on the field and endured and the limited time they've missed. 224 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: You know, we have had to be you know, treatment 225 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: or anything like that that these guys have stayed healthy. 226 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: And Darius, this guy early last year, dealt with a 227 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: couple of things early in camp. He pushed through it, 228 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: he fought through it. He worked really hard, and he's 229 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: a guy that you know, we turned around every day 230 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: and there is eighty six just out there. You know, 231 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: you ain't gotta say nothing. You know, he's out there 232 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: is catching the ball. He's getting open. He's doing he 233 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: supposed to do. Joe, is there anybody who's not gonna 234 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: practice today because of an injury? Uh, let me think 235 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: real quick. I think we should be just about pretty 236 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: clear with most guys. We have a couple of guys 237 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: are gonna check an individual today. Um, I gotta do 238 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: one more fly by with Ronnie. We're kind of a 239 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: mid morning meeting every day. Let me get back to 240 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: that right there, we're expecting most guys be out at 241 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: least doing individual and doing something's progressing. And we're gonna 242 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: check a lot of these guys in Indian and see 243 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: where they can go later and practice. Right Wood Devon, 244 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: you know Evan would be the one guy right now, 245 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: You're right that would not be out your practice today. 246 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: So he's gonna do some things separate with the trainers 247 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: on another field, and then we'll take a look and 248 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: see how he's gonna look tomorrow. What are the points 249 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: of emphasis for Andrew? And he's going against a guy 250 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: like von Miller, who obviously is as accomplished as any 251 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: pass rusher, and I think the point of point is 252 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: for anyone going against von Miller, child r any there, 253 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: you know very talented rushers is just do your job, 254 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: play your technique, and trust what you've been taught to do. 255 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: That's it. They don't have to do anything outside what 256 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: they're taught to do. Don't do anything superhuman. Look, these 257 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: are very very talented players. You know, these are two 258 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: of the best edge rushers in the game. Look to 259 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: miss a guy like von Miller for you know the 260 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: season last year. Look, that's as shamed everyone's involved in football. 261 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: You want the best players about the point. You want 262 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: every player about their healthy playing And as a competitor, 263 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: you don't want to go out there with anybody not 264 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: being healthy, not being able to play. You're gonna put 265 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: your best out there in the field against someone else's 266 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: best and see how you stack up. That's really what 267 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: competition is about. You know, seeing this guy back in 268 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: the game, that's good for football. Now, he's a tough 269 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: competitor and it's a great challenge. But to see him 270 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: come off the edge, you know, whether it's trying to 271 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: dip and get the edge on you with that great 272 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: get off and speed, or it's that spin move coming 273 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: back inside because you overplay the outside because you're worried 274 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: about and beating the outside and give up the inside. 275 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: Like this guy is a different level of player. You know, 276 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: I said in the show really a few minutes ago, 277 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: but when we talked to our scouts going into you know, 278 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: the draft, nask what are you guys looking for in 279 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: certain roles you almost want to say, like you know, 280 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: the Von Millers of the world. It don't bother looking 281 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: for that guy because that guy doesn't exist in many places. 282 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: Like if he if he shows up, we'll find him. 283 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Um. So, this guy is just 284 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: he's a rare player, you know, he's kind of a 285 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: unicorn of an edge rusher to be as just explosive 286 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: and athletic and strong for his size and instinctive and 287 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: productive and like, look, I've been on the other side 288 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: from this guy several times, and I'm telling he can 289 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: ruin your day and heartbeat if you try and do 290 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: something on their job and going up that so when 291 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: he does, you know, and evally is gonna beat you 292 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: on a repper too or a few like how important 293 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: is it to drive home? Like you know, short term memory? Forget, 294 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: He's gott always play the next play guys, whatever happens 295 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: in the game. Good bad or whatever. You've got to 296 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: play the next play. The play before doesn't affect anything 297 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: you have going forward. You know. Look, in terms of 298 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: my mentum, I've said all for I'm not a huge 299 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: belief of a momentum because I think every play as 300 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: a history in the life of its own. You may 301 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: make the greatest play on first down, you see a 302 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: lot of play second down. Second is completely independent unless 303 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: you allow something from the previous down to affect how 304 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: you play your technique and execution. So in terms of 305 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, von Miller like guys, he's a player. He 306 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: makes plays in every game. You know. Look, they're talented team. 307 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: They have a very good defense, they explosive offense. They 308 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: got a special team's capable making big plays at any 309 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: point in time. They're gonna play a lot of smoking mirrors. 310 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: You know, forced to do a lot of things. We've 311 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: got to play each play with awareness and execution, and 312 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: whether we make a play or they make a play, 313 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: we got to play the next play. You know. Defensively, 314 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: gotta make the offense snap it again. Offense, we're looking 315 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: to go ahead and sustain drives and stay on the 316 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: field and give ourselves the best opportunity to go and 317 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: be successful. Two more, two more, you know, a close 318 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: date through the coaches and assistant coaches and things like that. 319 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: Did you have a relationship with Pat before before this, 320 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: before you get got here, and did you reach out 321 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: to him when you you replaced him? That's what I'd 322 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: say in terms of relationship with Pat. Um. You know, 323 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: I knew Pat through the business. I got to meet 324 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: him at the Combine a few years back. We actually 325 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: had some familiar family friends, you know, from his time 326 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and obviously my time growing up there.
