1
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: What's the Broncos Country? Welcome back inside the UC Health

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Training Center for Tuesday's edition of Broncos Now. As always,

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm your host Sydney Jones, and the team was back

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: on the field today in pads as they continue to

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: prepare for the regular season and their preseason finale Versa

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: Vikings this Saturday. And this afternoon, the Broncos were required

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: to trim down their roster to eight players. General manager

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: George Payton and company waved running back Stevie Scott and

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver Tray Quinn. The team also released inside linebacker

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: Joe Schobert and designated tackle Casey Tucker as waved injured.

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: Plus offensive lineman Tom Compton was placed on the reserve

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: pu P list, which means Compton will be eligible to

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: return in Week five of the regular season. The final

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: round of cuts will be next Tuesday. And while it's

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: a tough time, head coach Nathaniel Hackett says, it's just

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: the reality of this business. It's a word at times,

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: it's rough at times, but it's about addressing it and

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: hitting it, you know, head first. And um, so those

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: guys know I brought it up. I mean, it's just

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: part of the game. It is what it is, and

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I always want to be sure

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: that I talked with him, and sometimes they don't want

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: to talk, you know, they're they're not happy about it,

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: and I understand that. I respect that, but unfortunately that's

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: part of this business. With less than three weeks until

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: the Broncos season opener, verse the Seahawks, coach Hacket has

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: changed this week's schedule to simulate what a game week

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: would look like during the regular season. So take a

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: listen to what coach Hackett will be focusing on at

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: practice this week. We're trying to make sure we have

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: everything in that we need for the season. That's the

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: most important thing. We want to detail everything up that

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: we've been doing, kind of go back and refresh our

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: minds because once you get into the season, you get

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: so locked in on that game plan each week. So

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: we want to kind of do like a huge review.

37
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: So we've got all kinds of tests, all kinds of

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: different things we're doing with the guys competitively, um, just

39
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: to try to stimulate him to all the way back

40
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: to day one of training camp. Um. But from a

41
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: game plan standpoint, you know, it's still just a preseason game.

42
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: You know, we've looked at them, so we know we're

43
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: being sure that we're doing stuff that is going to

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: be successful versus them, but it's not as extensive as

45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: as a usual game. Players cornerback Ronald Derby and center

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Lloyd Cushionberry also spoke with the media today and emphasized

47
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: that they feel ready for the regular season despite not

48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: playing in a preseason game. And Ronald Derby says, a

49
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: big reason for that is the work they're putting in

50
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: out practice, And that's one thing I like about out here.

51
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: We do a lot of things that like we really

52
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: need to work on. Like coach, that's two minutes. We

53
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: do a lot of team We don't do that much

54
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: seven on seven because it makes it real, but like

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's just having to get the communication

56
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: part down and that's why we out here make the

57
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: mistakes and practice so it don't happen in the game.

58
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: And for Lloyd Cushionberry, as he enters his third season

59
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL, he believes he's improved in numerous areas

60
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: of his game. The overall in my game, I've feel

61
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: like I've been a great shape, not that I wasn't

62
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: last year, but just in better shape. Um, I feel

63
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: more confident another I struggled with confidence in the years past.

64
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: Were just going into year three, I just I've seen everything.

65
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: I've seen everything defense and give me. I've seen played

66
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: against great players. I know what to expect we can

67
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: week out so and I know it works for me,

68
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: so that those things are big for me going into

69
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: year three. I know I have my own routine now,

70
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: I have my own things I do every single day

71
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: to get me ready to play every day. And that's

72
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: the regular season quickly approaches. They both embrace the expectations

73
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: put on the team this season. You know, you can

74
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: look at the challenge, you can look at at his

75
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: look at it as a little pressure, but it's just

76
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: great to have a Hall of future, Hall of Fame

77
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: quarterback behind us. You know, it's high expectations, but you know,

78
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want anything else. Of course, we want to

79
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: have these expectations to be in the super Bowl and

80
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: make it to the playoffs, and that's what comes when

81
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: we have a guy like that. So yeah, it's I mean,

82
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: it's been great so far. I feel like we've lived

83
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: up the challenge in practice and now we have to

84
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: bring it to the season and put it all together.

85
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: That's why I'm out here earlies day of practice. When

86
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: the jugs, I come out with food of us. See

87
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: you was I do the driels with it was ses.

88
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure when my time come

89
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: I execute. Now joining me here in the studio is

90
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: a fellow team reporter, Phil Malani. Phil, appreciate you being

91
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: on the show today. Sni, thank you very much for

92
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: having me. I heard that you're going to be in

93
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: the big studio, so I said, I'll do it. You

94
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: gotta bring the big guns. I love it well, Phil.

95
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: Today was another cut day around the league. The Broncos

96
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: had to trim their roster down to eighty. One of

97
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: those guys being released was Joe Schobert. Want to talk

98
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: about him a little bit. I feel like this means

99
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: the team's pretty confident in Jonas Griffith's return, right, Yeah.

100
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I had a little bit more to do with

101
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: Shobert too, just because against the Bills he didn't quite

102
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: look like his former self. I mean, he looked like

103
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: maybe a guy who had been doing a lot of conditioning,

104
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: thought that he was in good shape. But then when

105
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: you get out on that football field, it's a little

106
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: bit of a different story. And you saw him miss

107
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: some tackles. Maybe he was a step step late to

108
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: get into some positions, filled some gaps, didn't quite look

109
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: like the player. Maybe the Broncos thought that they were

110
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: going to be getting and so you see the move

111
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: that they made here to day, and uh, I think

112
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: that hopefully that's good news for Jonas Griffin. You saw

113
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: him doing some work on the side during practice today,

114
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: so maybe that's a positive sign that Jonas will be back.

115
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: But I also think it had something to do with

116
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: what they saw from Showbird against the Mills. Well, fingers

117
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: crossed Jonas will be back sooner than later. In better news,

118
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Billy Turner did return to practice today as well. Coachuk

119
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: has said he's hoping that he'll be healthy for week one,

120
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: isn't really sure and hasn't really said yet what position

121
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: he would play if he is ready for a week one,

122
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: But as we know, he's very versatile and can pretty

123
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: much play any position on the line. So what do

124
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: you really think about him and what do you think

125
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: it would mean to have him back for Seattle. I

126
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: think Nathaniel Hackett loves Billy Turner. I mean they've got

127
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 1: a close relationship from their time in Green Bay. Billy

128
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: Turner able to play a lot of different positions along

129
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: the offensive line, all everything except center really, so I

130
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: think that that's something that Hacket loves. But look, he

131
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: came here to play right tackle, I think, and that's

132
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: where the broad would like to see him. That is

133
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: the position. I think that most fans want to see

134
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: what's going to happen at right tackle, especially going into

135
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: a lowed environment in Seattle. Uh, you gotta protect Russ.

136
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you trade all this equity to get Russ.

137
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: You got to protect him. So right tackle is the

138
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: position that everybody's paying attention to. I think that it's

139
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: gonna be Calvin Anderson if Billy Turner can't go, But

140
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: the Broncos want to see what Turner is able to do. Well.

141
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: We've seen Calvin Anderson in the past two preseason games.

142
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: What have you liked what you've seen from him? And

143
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: what do you hope he improves on in this final

144
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: preseason game. He's another versatile guy that I think that

145
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: the Broncos like that He's able to play either side

146
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: of the line. But he's a smart guy. Obviously he

147
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: could solve those Rubis cubes. You know, that's sort of

148
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: his claim to fail. Yeah, he's He's a guy who

149
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: can go in there, play right tackle. He's serviceable. He's

150
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: been in that role all training camp long. The Broncos

151
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: have been rotating guys in and out on the offensive line,

152
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: so you're not quite sure exactly what every position is

153
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna look like, but I think it's safe to say

154
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: that Calvin Anderson is probably that guy is Billy Turner

155
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: can't go well, better to have many guys who can

156
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: play a bunch of different positions, Like you said, well

157
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: fill Another topic of conversation today was cornerback death and

158
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: some of the young guys in that room. I know

159
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Coach Hackett and Ronald Derby. They both mentioned to Mary

160
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: Mathis fay On Hicks as we approached this final preseason game, Phil,

161
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: what do you want to see from them and what

162
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: do you hope to see them accomplish? Well, I think

163
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: that far a guy like Damar Mathis, he has the athleticism.

164
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: You want to just see him continue to be in

165
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: the right positions. Know what he's doing coming out of college.

166
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: The knock on him was maybe he was a little

167
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: bit too hands eh, a lot of penalties on him.

168
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: So you want to see him just continue to know

169
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: this defense, he's gonna have to play some special teams,

170
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: see what he's able to do there, and then for

171
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: a guy like they on Hicks, hopefully just put some

172
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: good tape out there. I mean, he's had some good

173
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: moments in practice. He's had to go up against Jerry

174
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: Judy a couple of times as they work through different looks,

175
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: and he's held up his own a little bit here

176
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: in practice. So I think that they like the on Hicks,

177
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: but there's so much depth at that cornerback position right

178
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: now that for a guy like Hicks, maybe you're thinking,

179
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: let me put out the best tape that I can

180
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: and we'll see, maybe we can continue to learn on

181
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: the practice squad. Maybe a guy like the on You

182
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: know that Damario Matthis is gonna be on this roster.

183
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to play big minutes. He has athleticism,

184
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: so you just want to see him kind of continue

185
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: to mature. Saw him go up against the Ones in

186
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo last week. Obviously that's a tough assignment. Gave up

187
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown but we'll see how he continues to mature

188
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: as his rookie season goes along. We'll fill with final

189
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: cuts approaching. How many guys do you think they'll keep

190
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: in that cornerback room? Well, you know that the ones

191
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: I mean that, you know that Pats or Tan, Ronald Darby,

192
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: Kawan Williams, those guys they're you know, they're said they're

193
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the better secondaries, uh in the league.

194
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: I think the more interesting position to look at is

195
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: safety because Cayden Start is there at p J. Locke

196
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: and then a guy like JR. Reid that they bring in.

197
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: You always want to look at special teams at this

198
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: time and just see, Okay, how can this guy contribute

199
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: get a jersey on game day? And guys like JR.

200
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: Reid can play so much special teams that bring so

201
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: much value there that I'm sure Dwayne Stoops is gonna

202
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: be like, we gotta keep JR. Reid. So at this

203
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: time of year, I tend to watch special teams more

204
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: and just see this guy can get a jersey on

205
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: game day, he could play in a pinch when needed

206
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: on defense, He's a valuable player. Well it's gonna be

207
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: brutal next Tuesday as a team has to trim down

208
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: the roster to fifty three. So how important is this

209
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: final week, in this final preseason game for a lot

210
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: of those young guys that we've talked about. I think

211
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: for young guys, the big thing is, look, I'm not

212
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: just playing to earn a roster spot here. Don't look

213
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: at the numbers. Don't pay attention to that stuff. Just

214
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: go out and control what you can control. I mean

215
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: that sounds like coach speaker what not, but it is true.

216
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: If you go out there and put on good film,

217
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: somebody's going to recognize that. And so maybe if you

218
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: look at the numbers and it doesn't quite make sense

219
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: here in Denver, if you play well enough, somebody's gonna

220
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: recognize you out there and you'll get a spot. So

221
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: just control that you can control. It's a tough time

222
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: around the league. Even if you feel like you made

223
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: that initial fifty three, the Broncos are still going out

224
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: there and doing work, trying to find other guys that

225
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: might be an upgrade. So you really aren't sure if

226
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: you've made it. Made it for a couple of days there. So, uh,

227
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: it's a competitive league. It's the best of the best,

228
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: trying to do what they what they love to do.

229
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: And uh it is a hard time around the league though, well,

230
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: a lot to watch for on Saturday, Phil. Appreciate your

231
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: time always and your insight sunny always great to be on.

232
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Thank you, Phil. Now it's time

233
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: to take a look at today's injury report. A couple

234
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: of positive updates today. Like Phil and I talked about

235
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, offensive lineman Billy Turner was back

236
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: at practice. Also, inside linebacker Jonas Griffith did some work

237
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: on a side field today for a first time since

238
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: suffering his elbow injury in the Broncos first preseason game,

239
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: which is a great sign. Greg dulstch Annatoni Muti also

240
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: did individual work on a side field. Coachack It hopes

241
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: to get Dulcich involved in team reps as soon as possible.

242
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Tyree Cleveland and Michael O Jimudia did not practice today

243
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: in the team placed Tom Compton on the reserve physically

244
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: unable to perform list, so like I mentioned at the

245
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,280
