Speaker 1: Some questions from what's keeping on of practice, um, muscle
Speaker 1: spasms right here, So nothing crazy. I know y'all are
Speaker 1: like wanting to go every which direction. It's gonna be fine,
Speaker 1: keep going. Next question like trap trap neck area, So
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. Once again, we're just being smart.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes with throwers, like you just throw so much,
Speaker 1: like some things get aggravated. So this is the time
Speaker 1: of year where you just try to be smart do it.
Speaker 1: Like I'm in the training room or a lot. We're
Speaker 1: getting a good regiment going on once again, Like you know,
Speaker 1: I want to be out there every single day, but
Speaker 1: right now we're just focused on getting this thing healthy,
Speaker 1: be back out there as soon as I can, and
Speaker 1: look forward to when I can be back out there,
Speaker 1: so hopefully really soon. You know, we're still talking about
Speaker 1: it day to day. We're you know, we're we're in
Speaker 1: about the training room right now, you know, going through
Speaker 1: the rehab protocol. So we'll see. We never rule anything out,
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, you know, we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. You know, how it happened, just happened.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't really know what happened. It's just
Speaker 1: one of those things that just sort of happened one
Speaker 1: day and I noticed it was uncomfortable. So we talked
Speaker 1: about it, and you know, we decided that this was
Speaker 1: the best thing after doing a couple of tests, just
Speaker 1: to be be smart. That's the big thing is we're
Speaker 1: being smart right now during this time of year, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna do everything we can. We're gonna
Speaker 1: be smart. We're gonna continue this rehab protocol and then
Speaker 1: you know, you get smarter as you go through this stuff,
Speaker 1: so you know, be back out there soon. Giving Carson's
Speaker 1: process that gets to get back from you. Gotta make
Speaker 1: sure that you're healthy too, well, I think with anyone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you just make sure you're healthy this time of year,
Speaker 1: like make sure you're wade a role. You don't want
Speaker 1: to aggravate something like bad. I mean, you know, we're
Speaker 1: we're being really smart right now. I mean that's all
Speaker 1: I mean. I'm gonna say we're being smart every time.
Speaker 1: So veteran player, obviously, if you have a comfort level
Speaker 1: or up far as how much you need to play anyone,
Speaker 1: is it just about health more? Yeah, I mean you
Speaker 1: want to be out there and playing with your guys,
Speaker 1: like you know, the preseason's valuable is just skimming back
Speaker 1: in the stadium, UM, going through the game day routine,
Speaker 1: the rhythm of game day, being in the locker room,
Speaker 1: like you're gonna get those nerves that we all get
Speaker 1: as players, and then the butterflies and going out there
Speaker 1: for the first play. UM. You know you want to play. UM.
Speaker 1: Last preseason I didn't get a chance to play. And
Speaker 1: but fortunately I've played a lot of football, so you
Speaker 1: just sort of lean on that. You Football is such
Speaker 1: a rhythm game. That's where it takes a little bit
Speaker 1: of time. Like it took me a little bit of
Speaker 1: time when I started playing at the end of the
Speaker 1: year to get that rhythm back. But that's why the
Speaker 1: preseason is great. That's why training camps great. UM. That's
Speaker 1: why every single rap rep is so valuable. UM. But
Speaker 1: I don't have like a target amount of plane. UM.
Speaker 1: I just really just want to be back on practice
Speaker 1: field healthy. UM. Radar rolls on a hot day like this,
Speaker 1: preparation UM. Hydration before practice UM is key. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: hydration during practice, you know, sipping on water key. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna get loose pretty quickly out here,
Speaker 1: So just trying to be smart and not trying to
Speaker 1: overdo everything. Um, it really tests you. I mean the
Speaker 1: heats different. I mean we're gonna play in some hot games.
Speaker 1: So this is great. You know, this is great to
Speaker 1: be out here in this humid, hot weather. Um, just
Speaker 1: stepping in the huddle. Um. I know, as practices go on,
Speaker 1: as guys, you know, you start sweating a lot, a
Speaker 1: lot of foods are drained. Like sometimes it gets a
Speaker 1: little harder, the focus, harder to think. So that's why
Speaker 1: these practices are are great for us because you know,
Speaker 1: we're being competitive. We're competing every single play. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: and I think you just when you watch prodorly, you
Speaker 1: see a lot of that. You see a lot of
Speaker 1: great work whom the young guys who've noticed Thursday night,
Speaker 1: Thursday and night. You know, I think, you know, Dallas
Speaker 1: had a great camp. I think just from the tight
Speaker 1: end for position. Um, I think he's a really good
Speaker 1: player that's coming along every single day. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna keep working every single day. He's obviously young,
Speaker 1: but he's got a lot of great coaches and players
Speaker 1: around to help him. So I think he'd be a
Speaker 1: guy that you know, will do well. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: another guy would be like Richard Davis. I think he's,
Speaker 1: you know, from a guy that's undrafted, um, you know,
Speaker 1: coming in here in his second year. I think he's
Speaker 1: a He's a very talented player, can do a lot
Speaker 1: of different things when the ball is in his hand.
Speaker 1: He's very dynamic and a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: guys might not necessarily you know, know much about him,
Speaker 1: but I think he's a guy that can, you know,
Speaker 1: do some really special things. So I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: those guys play. He's pretty obvious that the team knows
Speaker 1: you and knows Carson. What can they learn about Nate
Speaker 1: iron Rod, I guess Thursday and the next one about Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a great opportunities for you know, Nate and Joe
Speaker 1: Um to go out there and play, um, you know,
Speaker 1: if I'm not able to play and uh, you know.
Speaker 1: I think that anytime you get reps with the ones
Speaker 1: where you sort of get thrust into a position you're
Speaker 1: not really expected. That's the life of a backup quarterback,
Speaker 1: like when you're in that situation. I think Nate has
Speaker 1: the potential and ability to be a starter in this league.
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that shoots. Since he's gotten here,
Speaker 1: he's he continues to get better, he continues to excel,
Speaker 1: he continues to just grow every single day. So, UM,
Speaker 1: I expect him to, you know, start in this league.
Speaker 1: But I think right now is a valuable time where
Speaker 1: he's you know the other day in practice, you know,
Speaker 1: stepping in you know with the ones. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's real, Like, that's what you have to do. That's
Speaker 1: what I had to do last year. Where you're coming
Speaker 1: off the bench in a game, you know into the
Speaker 1: third quarter you got to win it. Um. That that's
Speaker 1: what's tough about being a backup, where you know, when
Speaker 1: you're starter, you're getting all the reps, you're prepared, you're
Speaker 1: mentally prepared, you have the rhythm with all the guys. Well,
Speaker 1: you got to catch that rhythm and you have to
Speaker 1: catch it fast. So all these practices, these reps on
Speaker 1: the preseason UM extremely valuable for Nate and Joe, and
Speaker 1: I think that as you've seen the last couple of days,
Speaker 1: they've you know, it's not been too big for him,
Speaker 1: but they starting to settle down because it is different
Speaker 1: when you're repping with guys that you're not normal just
Speaker 1: not used. You're not used to so, um, I think
Speaker 1: they've excelled. Every single day week Lee John's must say,
Speaker 1: like in a meeting room feels like the super Bowl week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know we were working every single day.
Speaker 1: I mean we're we're getting ready to play on Thursday.
Speaker 1: Obviously it's training camp, so it's a little bit it's
Speaker 1: a different rhythm. Um. Usually a lot of teams use
Speaker 1: the third week is like the rhythm week of of
Speaker 1: a regular season game. But yeah, I mean, aytime you
Speaker 1: turn the lights on, I don't care what game. I
Speaker 1: mean you're playing a game like you're going out there
Speaker 1: and you're actually like on the field running plays. People
Speaker 1: are watching, you got the officials, everything's going on. I mean,
Speaker 1: you get the butterflies. You start feeling that feeling. So yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely it's game week. They talked about getting some game
Speaker 1: working with Mike and the press and their new roles
Speaker 1: around board. That is, how comfortable are you at this
Speaker 1: point with them, now that you're several weeks into training camp?
Speaker 1: Just in every rolls, Yeah, I mean I'm really comfortable
Speaker 1: with them. And we had all ta's I've known press
Speaker 1: for you know, this is going on six years for us.
Speaker 1: You know, coach grow was here last year. He was
Speaker 1: there a few weeks when I was in LA and Oxnard,
Speaker 1: so I got to meet him a little bit then
Speaker 1: before that whole thing, and uh, you know, great personalities,
Speaker 1: Like we're in there. We're in the meeting rooms with
Speaker 1: them every single day, so that's where you really bond
Speaker 1: because they were with the receivers last year. So this
Speaker 1: training camp has been great for us. They're great coaches
Speaker 1: and I think just you know, from a relationship perspective,
Speaker 1: it's grown. And then we're getting an idea like how
Speaker 1: they coach what they do because I mean it's different
Speaker 1: than you know, fan can flip like it's you know,
Speaker 1: but they're they're still great coaches. So we're enjoying it
Speaker 1: and um, it's gonna be a fun journey with him.
Speaker 1: Is a month of play. Hypothetically, if this were the
Speaker 1: regular Sea City for whatever reason you read the starters roll,
Speaker 1: what would be be approaches to this sortis would be
Speaker 1: something that you would play through. You know, that's once
Speaker 1: again it's a hypothetic situation. So um, we will address
Speaker 1: you know, I'll addressed after ever comes to be. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna right now we're in training camp. You know,
Speaker 1: we're getting right for a preseason game. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: as as a football player, I always say this is
Speaker 1: an athlete. You're always gonna have nicks and bruising and
Speaker 1: different things going on, UM that you play through. That's
Speaker 1: part of being an athlete. UM. There's also a time
Speaker 1: for everything, so you try to you know, this is
Speaker 1: a time where you want to be smart. You want
Speaker 1: to I want to be out there and play, but
Speaker 1: I also know, like what's best for a team will
Speaker 1: me getting to be one hundred percent. Um. So that's
Speaker 1: sort of how I look at it. It is different
Speaker 1: for you now having a Press Mike in there and
Speaker 1: then Frank. How was it different? You know, just different personalities.
Speaker 1: I think that you know, you're around each other so much,
Speaker 1: just you're different people. So you're you're getting to build
Speaker 1: that relationship that you know, I was with you know,
Speaker 1: flipping Frank every single day and a meeting. Why you know,
Speaker 1: Mike and Press were downstairs with the receiver, so we
Speaker 1: didn't have that time together. So you're really just getting
Speaker 1: to know each other more. And I you've heard me
Speaker 1: talk a lot about you know, football special because of
Speaker 1: the relationships teammates and coaches alike. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: where you see the bond, Like it's not just players,
Speaker 1: Like you have to actually like enjoy being around your
Speaker 1: coach and trust it. And I think you saw that
Speaker 1: when you get the mic up stuff from last year
Speaker 1: when we're talking to coaches. You know, I use the
Speaker 1: Philly Special play as a great example. You know, Doug
Speaker 1: and I have a lot of trust to each other.
Speaker 1: We've known each other for a long time to where
Speaker 1: that conversation if you don't know each other probably doesn't
Speaker 1: go very well. But because we know each other, we're like,
Speaker 1: you know, let's do it. And I'd use that example
Speaker 1: because that's so important to be a winning team. Is
Speaker 1: it's not just players, it's everyone in this building getting
Speaker 1: along to each other. So all this is is just
Speaker 1: us have an opportunity every single day to be in
Speaker 1: the film room to learn from them, for them to
Speaker 1: learn from us, and just go from that. Thanks guys,
Speaker 1: mm hm
