In fact, 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: Van Roten then to be starting on in the game. 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: Yeah about too, So I guess he's uh out, Yeah, 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: he's out.

Yeah, he's still 11 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: got some. 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 2: Time at the moment. Got add says that anything it's. 13 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: Earning, No, nothing concerning now, he's a tough kid. 14 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: Like how valuable to you guys, not just this year, 15 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: but I mean in general has Andrew Thomas been. It 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: just seems like he uh has that quality some athletes have, 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: or he makes everybody around him. 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,119 Speaker 1: That are Yeah. Absolutely, it's a great way to describe him. 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: He does that. He has that effect on people, and 20 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: you know best by his work ethic, by his play, 21 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: by his production, how he handles himself in the building, 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: how he handles himself around the players in the locker room. 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: Just a true professional, you know, a guy that you 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: know I personally lean on as as a coach because 25 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: you know those guys you surround yourself with those guys, 26 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: those players on their team, Like that's the kind of 27 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: guys you want. 28 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 2: You guys claim Ryan Miller, what do you like about him? 29 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he has some special teams ability. You know, 30 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: we'll see him run around today be you know, kind 31 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: of the first time I'm getting to work with him, 32 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: So I'm excited to watch them go out there. 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: You have to make some roster moves, all those guys 34 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: that are on the ir like return track and then 35 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: like you anticipate a lot of moves the next twenty 36 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: four hours. 37 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: We'll see I think there there is there is a 38 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: few scenarios that we we've been talking through over the 39 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: last couple of days. So again today is one of 40 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: those days where after practice you can to see where 41 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: everyone's at and then we'll kind of start, you know, 42 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: putting that plan attack Jackson top. 43 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 2: Jackson's mentioned that he's been happy with like not trying 44 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: to force things. What do you see on the good 45 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 2: things that he's done So by this. 46 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: Season, movement's got yeah, I think. I mean, Jackson's doing 47 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: a great job just owning having ownership in the offense 48 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: and understand what we're trying to get done. Then obviously 49 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: we try to always try to put our players in 50 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: the best position to be successful, but have them also 51 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: have their own touch on it right and have their 52 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: fingerprint on the offense. It's great when the players take 53 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: ownership of that group. And Jackson's one of those kind 54 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: of lead guys in terms of the quarterback putting his 55 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: own flare out and putting your own personality on those things. 56 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: And Jackson does a great job with that, and so 57 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: do the other players as well. 58 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 2: Where do you see that flare in ways that we 59 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: don't like when he's in a beating room, I guess 60 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: what is where does that come out? 61 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think just this, it's very subtle, 62 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: but just even just subtle ball fakes, ball actions, the 63 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: way they break the huddle, certain shifts and motions. We 64 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: may have a certain vision of it, and then we 65 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: go out there and then the players they might talk 66 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: and say, hey, let's do a little bit this way, 67 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: and then we're like, that's awesome, go go for it. So, 68 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, just giving that that flexibility and letting not letting, 69 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, put our players in a box where they 70 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: feel like they're so constrained by rules, a lot of rules, 71 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: I should say, but you know, and just let our 72 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: players have have a little personality on the offense and 73 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: defense and special teams and let letting their best abilities 74 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: go special. 75 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: You do to prepare for the possibility of a snow game. 76 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: Nothing different, just you know, it's it's uh, you know, 77 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: we're out here in New York and New Jersey. It's 78 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: gonna there's gonna be weather, it's gonna be win, it's 79 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: gonna be cold, it's gonna be snow. So I think 80 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: we know that. You know, we've been playing football a 81 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: long time. So nothing really different in terms of that. 82 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: But I guess there are the only factors that could 83 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: change if like wind and or it's really really rainy 84 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: or something like that. But snow games are have always 85 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: been fun. 86 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 2: You have a player coaching one. 87 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: I have, yeah, several, several, and growing up in Chicago, 88 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: it's pretty much guaranteed you're playing one of them at 89 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: some point your whole life. Coaching coaching several Kansas City 90 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: the ones here I was up in the booth, So 91 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, didn't feel the elements. 92 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: With cave On, so might there was some optimism that 93 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: he'd be back by now. Did he have a setback 94 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: or is the injury more serious? 95 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: And actually thought, no, there's still a ton of optimism. 96 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: And you know, you watch him, you know, you guys 97 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: saw him kind of come out yesterday and do some drills. 98 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: I think he's fired up and ready and you know, 99 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: preparing himself to get out there with the players. It's 100 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: just about, you know, when he feels comfortable, when the 101 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: doctors feel really good to clear him and get him 102 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: out there.
