1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: All right, Um, Saturday, so uh, they're off tomorrow. Got

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: a good, good padded practice this afternoon. Um, moved the

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: ball period in there, not unlike you've seen already. So uh,

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: just hacking our way through training camp and I think

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: the guys are handling it pretty well and look forward

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: to having a good day. So trying to answer your questions,

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: did you unptions just because it kind of lack of

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: bodies there, Uh, we changed it up and it was

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: it was a plan. You know, some of the twos

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: were with the ones and some of the threes were

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: with the two. So early in practice we did, later

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: in practice we didn't. So just trying to get the

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: guys to work that they needed. How close is Darius

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: Layton getting back? And it's been a pretty prolonged absence, Now,

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: how far is you've fallen behind in terms of well,

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: answer the first part of it, how close is he

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: to getting back? He gets better every day, so he's

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: making progress. And as far as anytime you're not out there,

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: you're certainly missing missing things. And but you know, he

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: made great strides in the spring, and I anticipate when

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: he comes back that he's going to continue to do that.

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: It's anyone close to return. You have a bunch of

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: guys on. Well, yeah, I mean we're managing some of

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: those guys. And I know because we're all here today,

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, together in the same spot all the time.

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: We focus on our guys. But I've tried to do

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: research in my spare time, and and everybody's in everybody's camp,

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, they're dealing with guys that they're managing. And

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: so some of these guys will be out today, some

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: will be competing today, some will be out and then um,

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: hopefully by Monday we'll get we'll get some of them

32
00:01:51,360 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: back star and yesterday. But now now, it was just

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: when we were in the competitive situations he puts the

34
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: yellow jersey on. Not an oversight, but yes, he's when

35
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: he's out there competing with with a defense in front

36
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: of him. Um, most of the time he's in a

37
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: yellow jersey that seems to be of black period. And

38
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say something. He was out there quote

39
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: a past it was fine, he was fine, a little yellow,

40
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: it was fine. Yeah, they're aware of the fact that

41
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: they're not supposed to hit him. So was that Oshane?

42
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: Is he battling anything there? X man. I would just

43
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: give him a little bit of time. You know, he's uh,

44
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: probably some little legs ornos, but he's fine, he'll be

45
00:02:51,440 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: fine yesterday. What we're the team Dixon and the punter

46
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: punting the ball. Yeah, yeah, No, I think it's like everything.

47
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: It's you know, when it comes to a punter, Um,

48
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: it's like the quarterback. You know, there's the game within

49
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: the game. You know, with a quarterback, it's accuracy. So

50
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: even though it's a completion, did you put it on

51
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: the right side of the body. The same can be

52
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: said for a punter, you know, even though you punted

53
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, making sure it's the right

54
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: type of punt if it's in a Pooh scenario, or

55
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: certainly uh, placing the ball if we're trying to kick

56
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: it right or left. So Um, that's probably when you

57
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: talk about, generally speaking, the punter. And then you're always

58
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: always trying to make the get off time be consistent

59
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: and quick, and you don't want to rush it. What

60
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: you want to be urgent. So all the all those things,

61
00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: and I'm certain that's what he was referring to. Obviously,

62
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: this suspension hanging over going to what are you thinking

63
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: about where he's done so far and unbelable king in

64
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: here right, Well, he showed us what um his reputation

65
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: was a he's he has a way of getting open

66
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: in a short area. He's got good run. Even though

67
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: we're not tackling to the ground, you can see he's

68
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: got good run after catch. He's very smart, so we

69
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: can move him around all the things that are necessary

70
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: to play in our offense. And I guess the situation

71
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: not really. I mean, we're you know, I wake up

72
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: enthusiastic every morning that they're all going to be there

73
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: and be a full, full strength, and then we just

74
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: kind of deal with it as we go along those

75
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: same lines. Do you see benefits when you have you know,

76
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: you had a younger guy like like Julian Love out

77
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: there matched up against Golden this situation, So I gotta

78
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: imagine seeing Golden having to guard him in that situation

79
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: and cover him works a benefit for for Love, no question.

80
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: So having Golden with the ones is not necessarily also

81
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: about Golden's maybe on the other side of the ball.

82
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Is that fair, no question? And that's why I think

83
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: if if players are smart, that's why I prefer going

84
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: good on good all the time because you know, iron

85
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: sharpens iron, and you know, when you're playing against the

86
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: better players, so to speak, you know you get you

87
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: get good work. And Julian's made great progress with regard

88
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: to being able to cover. We're asking to play safety

89
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: and the nickel, so he's playing in two critical spots

90
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: on the inside of the defense and to go against

91
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: a guy like Golden who's a nifty route runner. UM,

92
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, Julian's learning a lot. I would keep Julian

93
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: hand of that rookie just learning two spots at the

94
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: same time. He's doing it. He's doing a very good job.

95
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: And you saw the practice that Grant Haley went out of.

96
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: Then he stepped right in and you know he got

97
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: some valuable reps and maybe a scenario that might happen

98
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: during the season, and I thought he handled it very well.

99
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna change next week. When you

100
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: go back in preseason game any weeks, the chief focus

101
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: is in the practice now, the focus will be the same.

102
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to a morning practice schedule when we

103
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: come back on Monday, so we'll we'll do a morning

104
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: practice and in an afternoon walk through. UM, and that

105
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: will probably be the way I do it throughout the

106
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: rest of camp. Um, and so that'll that'll feel different

107
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: to those that are watching. But in terms of what

108
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: we're trying to get done, we'll still work on all

109
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: the situational football. They'll still be padded practices, but with

110
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: the games you know on the horizon each week. Uh,

111
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, we'll take the pads off as you get

112
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: in your game week to get the guys that are

113
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: playing ready to go some some but that'll be you know,

114
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: later in the week as you so if you have

115
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: so we play Thursday, we'll have our my game on Wednesday,

116
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: and then Tuesday we'll do some card work. Monday, it

117
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: will still be Giants versus Giants. Where's abre lost at

118
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: right now? His first two years kind of went back

119
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: where she would say, like he played a lot as

120
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: a rookie and then I was on the practice squad

121
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: all last year. Where is he at right now? Well,

122
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: I think he's made progress within our system, but um,

123
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: he's just been dealing with injuries. And you know last

124
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: year at an injury that kept him out. Um, you

125
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: did a nice job for us, you know, as a

126
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: practice squad player. He's been competing out here. You know,

127
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: he's just dealing with some of the camp soreness that

128
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: you have. But he's working hard and he's making improvements

129
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: about one or two Slid said of us Conrad's progress

130
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: so far. C J Good. You know, he's a he's

131
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: he's a tough, competitive guy, and I think those are

132
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: those are necessary traits to play our game. So that's

133
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: where you start. And he's a good learner. Um. I

134
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: would say he's a notch better blocker than he is

135
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: a route runner at this time, which is a good thing. Um.

136
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: And you know he's becoming a little bit of a

137
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: fan favorite out there. You know, he's made some nice

138
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: catches and practice. Um. But then he's also you know,

139
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: made his mistakes. But I like the way he competes,

140
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: and I think he's a tough guy, and so I

141
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: think he's got a bright future. End your deepest position,

142
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: the position you feel the most comfortable with. I don't know,

143
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm all I'm optimistic about all the positions. I

144
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't say, I'm I'm standing here, you know,

145
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: saying once more, you know one's better than another. At

146
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: this point, we'll just have to see when we get

147
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: the game day
