0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>it's not a big deal. Once again, we're just being smart.

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes with throwers, like you just throw so much,

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>like some things get aggravated. So this is the time

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of year where you just try to be smart do it.

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm in the training room or a lot. We're

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>getting a good regiment going on once again, Like you know,

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to be out there every single day, but

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>right now we're just focused on getting this thing healthy,

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>be back out there as soon as I can, and

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:43.919
<v Speaker 1>look forward to when I can be back out there,

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>so hopefully really soon. You know, we're still talking about

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>it day to day. We're you know, we're we're in

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>about the training room right now, you know, going through

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the rehab protocol. So we'll see. We never rule anything out,

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>but at the end of the day, you know, we'll

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>see what happens. You know, how it happened, just happened.

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't really know what happened. It's just

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>one of those things that just sort of happened one

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>day and I noticed it was uncomfortable. So we talked

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 1>about it, and you know, we decided that this was

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the best thing after doing a couple of tests, just

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to be be smart. That's the big thing is we're

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>being smart right now during this time of year, and uh,

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 1>you know we're gonna do everything we can. We're gonna

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>be smart. We're gonna continue this rehab protocol and then

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, you get smarter as you go through this stuff,

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>so you know, be back out there soon. Giving Carson's

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>process that gets to get back from you. Gotta make

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>sure that you're healthy too, well, I think with anyone. Yeah,

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 1>you just make sure you're healthy this time of year,

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 1>like make sure you're wade a role. You don't want

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to aggravate something like bad. I mean, you know, we're

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>we're being really smart right now. I mean that's all

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean. I'm gonna say we're being smart every time.

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>So veteran player, obviously, if you have a comfort level

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>or up far as how much you need to play anyone,

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>is it just about health more? Yeah, I mean you

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>want to be out there and playing with your guys,

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>like you know, the preseason's valuable is just skimming back

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>in the stadium, UM, going through the game day routine,

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the rhythm of game day, being in the locker room,

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>like you're gonna get those nerves that we all get

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>as players, and then the butterflies and going out there

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>for the first play. UM. You know you want to play. UM.

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Last preseason I didn't get a chance to play. And

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>but fortunately I've played a lot of football, so you

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>just sort of lean on that. You Football is such

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.920
<v Speaker 1>a rhythm game. That's where it takes a little bit

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>of time. Like it took me a little bit of

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>time when I started playing at the end of the

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>year to get that rhythm back. But that's why the

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>preseason is great. That's why training camps great. UM. That's

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.679
<v Speaker 1>why every single rap rep is so valuable. UM. But

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't have like a target amount of plane. UM.

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I just really just want to be back on practice

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>field healthy. UM. Radar rolls on a hot day like this,

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>preparation UM. Hydration before practice UM is key. Uh. You know,

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>hydration during practice, you know, sipping on water key. Uh.

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>You know you're gonna get loose pretty quickly out here,

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>So just trying to be smart and not trying to

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 1>overdo everything. Um, it really tests you. I mean the

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>heats different. I mean we're gonna play in some hot games.

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>So this is great. You know, this is great to

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>be out here in this humid, hot weather. Um, just

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>stepping in the huddle. Um. I know, as practices go on,

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>as guys, you know, you start sweating a lot, a

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.519
<v Speaker 1>lot of foods are drained. Like sometimes it gets a

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>little harder, the focus, harder to think. So that's why

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>these practices are are great for us because you know,

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>we're being competitive. We're competing every single play. Um. You know,

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 1>and I think you just when you watch prodorly, you

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of that. You see a lot of

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>great work whom the young guys who've noticed Thursday night,

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Thursday and night. You know, I think, you know, Dallas

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>had a great camp. I think just from the tight

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>end for position. Um, I think he's a really good

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>player that's coming along every single day. Um, you know,

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna keep working every single day. He's obviously young,

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 1>but he's got a lot of great coaches and players

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>around to help him. So I think he'd be a

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>guy that you know, will do well. I think, you know,

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>another guy would be like Richard Davis. I think he's,

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, from a guy that's undrafted, um, you know,

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>coming in here in his second year. I think he's

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a He's a very talented player, can do a lot

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>of different things when the ball is in his hand.

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>He's very dynamic and a lot of a lot of

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>guys might not necessarily you know, know much about him,

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>but I think he's a guy that can, you know,

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>do some really special things. So I'm excited to see

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>those guys play. He's pretty obvious that the team knows

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>you and knows Carson. What can they learn about Nate

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>iron Rod, I guess Thursday and the next one about Yeah,

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>he's a great opportunities for you know, Nate and Joe

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Um to go out there and play, um, you know,

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not able to play and uh, you know.

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I think that anytime you get reps with the ones

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>where you sort of get thrust into a position you're

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>not really expected. That's the life of a backup quarterback,

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 1>like when you're in that situation. I think Nate has

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the potential and ability to be a starter in this league.

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a guy that shoots. Since he's gotten here,

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>he's he continues to get better, he continues to excel,

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>he continues to just grow every single day. So, UM,

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I expect him to, you know, start in this league.

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>But I think right now is a valuable time where

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>he's you know the other day in practice, you know,

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>stepping in you know with the ones. I mean, that's

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that's real, Like, that's what you have to do. That's

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>what I had to do last year. Where you're coming

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>off the bench in a game, you know into the

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>third quarter you got to win it. Um. That that's

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>what's tough about being a backup, where you know, when

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>you're starter, you're getting all the reps, you're prepared, you're

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>mentally prepared, you have the rhythm with all the guys. Well,

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>you got to catch that rhythm and you have to

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>catch it fast. So all these practices, these reps on

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the preseason UM extremely valuable for Nate and Joe, and

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that as you've seen the last couple of days,

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>they've you know, it's not been too big for him,

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>but they starting to settle down because it is different

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're repping with guys that you're not normal just

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>not used. You're not used to so, um, I think

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>they've excelled. Every single day week Lee John's must say,

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>like in a meeting room feels like the super Bowl week. Yeah,

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know we were working every single day.

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're we're getting ready to play on Thursday.

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Obviously it's training camp, so it's a little bit it's

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a different rhythm. Um. Usually a lot of teams use

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the third week is like the rhythm week of of

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a regular season game. But yeah, I mean, aytime you

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>turn the lights on, I don't care what game. I

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 1>mean you're playing a game like you're going out there

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and you're actually like on the field running plays. People

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>are watching, you got the officials, everything's going on. I mean,

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>you get the butterflies. You start feeling that feeling. So yeah,

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>absolutely it's game week. They talked about getting some game

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>working with Mike and the press and their new roles

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 1>around board. That is, how comfortable are you at this

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>point with them, now that you're several weeks into training camp?

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Just in every rolls, Yeah, I mean I'm really comfortable

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 1>with them. And we had all ta's I've known press

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 1>for you know, this is going on six years for us.

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, coach grow was here last year. He was

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 1>there a few weeks when I was in LA and Oxnard,

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 1>so I got to meet him a little bit then

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>before that whole thing, and uh, you know, great personalities,

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Like we're in there. We're in the meeting rooms with

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>them every single day, so that's where you really bond

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 1>because they were with the receivers last year. So this

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>training camp has been great for us. They're great coaches

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>and I think just you know, from a relationship perspective,

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>it's grown. And then we're getting an idea like how

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>they coach what they do because I mean it's different

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 1>than you know, fan can flip like it's you know,

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>but they're they're still great coaches. So we're enjoying it

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and um, it's gonna be a fun journey with him.

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Is a month of play. Hypothetically, if this were the

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>regular Sea City for whatever reason you read the starters roll,

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>what would be be approaches to this sortis would be

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>something that you would play through. You know, that's once

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>again it's a hypothetic situation. So um, we will address

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'll addressed after ever comes to be. So

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna right now we're in training camp. You know,

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 1>we're getting right for a preseason game. Um. You know,

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>as as a football player, I always say this is

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>an athlete. You're always gonna have nicks and bruising and

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>different things going on, UM that you play through. That's

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>part of being an athlete. UM. There's also a time

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>for everything, so you try to you know, this is

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a time where you want to be smart. You want

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>to I want to be out there and play, but

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I also know, like what's best for a team will

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>me getting to be one hundred percent. Um. So that's

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>sort of how I look at it. It is different

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 1>for you now having a Press Mike in there and

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>then Frank. How was it different? You know, just different personalities.

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that you know, you're around each other so much,

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>just you're different people. So you're you're getting to build

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>that relationship that you know, I was with you know,

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>flipping Frank every single day and a meeting. Why you know,

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Mike and Press were downstairs with the receiver, so we

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't have that time together. So you're really just getting

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>to know each other more. And I you've heard me

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>talk a lot about you know, football special because of

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the relationships teammates and coaches alike. I mean, that's that's

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>where you see the bond, Like it's not just players,

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Like you have to actually like enjoy being around your

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>coach and trust it. And I think you saw that

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>when you get the mic up stuff from last year

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>when we're talking to coaches. You know, I use the

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Philly Special play as a great example. You know, Doug

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and I have a lot of trust to each other.

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>We've known each other for a long time to where

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>that conversation if you don't know each other probably doesn't

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.319
<v Speaker 1>go very well. But because we know each other, we're like,

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, let's do it. And I'd use that example

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>because that's so important to be a winning team. Is

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not just players, it's everyone in this building getting

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>along to each other. So all this is is just

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>us have an opportunity every single day to be in

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.559
<v Speaker 1>the film room to learn from them, for them to

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>learn from us, and just go from that. Thanks guys,

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:04.440
