1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Coach Jan Tibodeau was a report out there. I know 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: we just got a text on it, but um, it's 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: a screen a c L yeah yep, and not you 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: said a c L C yeah, MCL yep. Okay. Um 5 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: and coaches a quick follow up when you look at 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: that play with Drew Wilkins last night, Um, is this 7 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: something technique wise that Tibodeau could do different to maybe 8 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: avoid a situation like what happened last night? Yeah? Those 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: are Those are are tough blocks, the blocks that are 10 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: coming from across the line of scrimmage within the tackle box. Um, 11 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: you gotta see it, and then you gotta do a 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: great job of trying to play with your hands. M. 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: So you know, it's unfortunate, that unfortunate that Katie went down. Um, 14 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: but um, you know that's part of the game. Thank you, 15 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: Dan dug In, Hey Dad, it's curious, um that last 16 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: play the way you guys defending who came up with? Then, 17 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: how much have you actually practiced that? Well, there's certain 18 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean we try to practice as many different situations. 19 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: We practice a lot of them offensively what we would 20 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: do in that situation. Defensively, there's different ways to defend it. 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: I think that you know, Wink has has done a 22 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: really good job of implementing his stuff, um along with 23 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: the assistant coaches that we have. But you know, Fox 24 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: sitting there on the sideline and defending the sideline when 25 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: they have no time outs. It was good play. Obviously, 26 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: it was a good hit. We want to make sure 27 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: it's clean. He left with the shoulder, but you know 28 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: it was good situational football and a good call by 29 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: Wink and well executed by the players. And one other 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: just game questions. I could the two Why did you 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: go for two there? You know you said this confusion, Well, no, 32 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: there wasn't. It was I wanted to go for two. 33 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: Relative to the kicking situation, you know, Graham was out 34 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: and I just thought there was it was good time 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: to work some two point stuff. And then again it 36 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: was good time to to kick Jamie even though he 37 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: hasn't really been kicking very much, and Julian holding and 38 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: doing all those things. You never know what could happen. 39 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: I mean last year we were involved in a game 40 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: where an opponent's kicker got hurt pregame and it was 41 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: basically that go for it every snap, So just kinda 42 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: trying to work some different situations, um, with the players 43 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: relative to you know what we were dealt with with 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: with Graham going down there? Yeah, how Leonard? Hey, Brian? Ay? 45 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: Doing good? Pat? How are you good? Um? There was 46 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: a timeline reported on cavon three to four weeks and 47 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: that you were hopeful for week one. Um is that accurate? 48 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: Are you feeling that optimistic that he can play in 49 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: the opener or is there is there a chance he 50 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: does not? Yeah, I'd say, I'd say it's day to day. Really, 51 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not forecasting you know, when a player 52 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: can come back or not come back. I know he'll 53 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: come in and get treatment. We'll take it day by 54 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: day and when he's ready to go out there, you know, 55 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: that's when we'll put him out there. Did he go 56 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: into the city this morning for an m R? I like, 57 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: what was what was kind of the timeline of move 58 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: events there? Um? Yeah, we we we took care of 59 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: that stuff, you know, yesterday this morning, and and had 60 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: our medical meeting here this morning with with the doctor 61 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: and Joe and kind of normal what we do after 62 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: every game. Um, you know, so fingers crossed. Hopefully his 63 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: rehab goes well and he can get out there as 64 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: soon as he can. Bryan don Levy, Hey, Dave's what's 65 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: the what what's with with Cavon? Like what kind of 66 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: training camp? Now that it's over, what kind of training 67 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: camp did he have? And how important is this misstime? 68 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: Like do you feel what? You feel like he got 69 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: all the work he needed when whenever he does come out, 70 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: Like how bout able was this missed two weeks? Dam Well? 71 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: I think every every time you miss a practice, um, 72 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: it's it's great, you know, it's valuable. It's valuably out 73 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: at practice. Um. You know, you try to simulate it 74 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: as best you can to game live reps. But as 75 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: many repetitions as any of our guys can get, whether 76 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: it's a rookie or a veteran, I think that helps them, 77 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: It helps each unit. Um. So again, Katie has been 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: doing everything we asked him to do since he's been here. 79 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: He's been a good teammate, He's worked extremely hard. So 80 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: certainly time miss you never want to miss time. But 81 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: he has the right attitude, the right approach. He'll rehab 82 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: as hard as he can rehab and be ready to 83 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: go when he's when he's ready to go. So who 84 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: do you look to, Brian to fill those spots? I mean, 85 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: what have you seen from some of the next guys 86 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: in order, whether it's I know, we know our AGILARI 87 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: will be on one side, but filling cavan shoes, whether 88 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: it's Ward or Zimm and Az, who do you look 89 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: to there and what you what have you seen behind Cavan? Yeah? 90 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: I think Drew has done a good ub with with 91 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: all those guys, those edge guys, uh, you know, from 92 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: some top to bottom. I mean Fox had a really 93 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: good night last night to um set in the edge 94 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: of playing physical, um Q and Big Ax and you 95 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: know Jahad, you know Hattie and and all those guys 96 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: have have really done a good job of, you know, 97 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: understanding our system and making most of their opportunities when 98 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: they get in there. Tom Rock, it was good to 99 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: have Z's back to Brian. You know, ten reps cost 100 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: two holding penalties. Uh m hmm. Look good out there 101 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: for the first time. Brian. Uh, I want to ask 102 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: you about Graham situation. Do you need to bring in 103 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: a kicker maybe for the preseason game against the Jets 104 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: or are you gonna can you kind of get by 105 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: with Jamie maybe doing it if he if he's not 106 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: ready to go Next Sunday, that's Joe and I are 107 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: going to talk about that. We've had preliminary discussions on it. 108 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: We're you know, possibly gonna bring in a kicker. You know, 109 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: you don't want to wear Jamie out, you know, the 110 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: different angles that he has to kick from. Um, so 111 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: we're in the process of, you know, talking about that, 112 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: and we definitely could bring one in. And then I 113 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you a quick question about the offense 114 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: last night. Um, you know, Daniel seemed very very effective. Uh, 115 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: he was on the field for I think snaps with 116 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: with Kenny didn't didn't seem like they even looked at 117 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: each other. Uh, you know, can can is there is 118 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: that level of concern? Is that by design what was 119 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: going on there? No? I mean look, unless you're calling 120 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: a a screen pass or a jet sweep, I mean 121 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: you really don't have you can put guys in spots 122 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: that think the ball might go there as a first read. 123 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: But I think Daniel did a very good job of 124 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: throwing the ball where he needed to throw it, making 125 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: good decisions, playing on time, playing under control. That's the 126 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: unique thing about a receiver or a skilled player. You know, 127 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: you're not guaranteed to get uh, you know, all these looks. 128 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: It's predicated, you know, at least how we do it. 129 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: It's predicated on how the defense plays and our read progression. 130 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: And you know, I thought Daniel did a really good 131 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: job with that. Connor Hughes. Yeah, hey, Brian, um with 132 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: with Cavon's knee. I know doctors can do the original 133 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: tests on the knee in terms of seeing seeing if 134 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: it's stable or not to to give the early insight 135 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: into if it's a potential torn at L or anything 136 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: like that. As a coach, when you get that initial report, 137 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: do you allow yourself to feel any sense of optimism 138 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: or do you kind of push all that to the 139 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: side and wait for the full confirmation with the m R. 140 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: I yeah, I kind of wait until I think you 141 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: can start thinking about a bunch of different things. When 142 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: the trainers come over and just tell you they're out, 143 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: and then you know they've got to go through there 144 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: it's X rays or m RIS or whatever other tests 145 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: that the players need to go through, and you know, 146 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: you you go to bed and you get up, you 147 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: have meetings, you you know, get the information you need 148 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: to get and uh, you know, whatever it is, I 149 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: think you just you know, you deal with it. You 150 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: have a plan on what you need to do to 151 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: help the player get ready to go if if in 152 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: this case, he's gonna be able ready to go whenever 153 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: that is um, And then you know, on the other hand, 154 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: if they're out, you know, you get a lot of 155 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: empathy for those guys that do get injured that you 156 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: know are out for a significant amount of time. Paulish 157 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: Ward Hey, Brian, Hey, Paul, Hey, UM. It seems to 158 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: me when watching your offensive linemen now pretty much whoever 159 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: is in there, that they seem to be doing a 160 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: good job of of of communicating and passing off guys 161 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: with all kinds of tricks and things up front, that 162 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of confusion up there. In the past, 163 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: that's been a problem. You haven't been here in the past, obviously, 164 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: But do you seeing the same thing and whether they 165 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: physically win the play or not, they're at least in 166 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: the right place and understanding what each other is supposed 167 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: to doing. Yeah, I think we've made progress with that 168 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: since we we've been here. We certainly have a ways 169 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: to go, of of that, But I do think our 170 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: our centers do a good job of communicating. Uh. You know, 171 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: Max did a good job for for not being in 172 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: there a whole bunch of communicating UM and holding who 173 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: really hasn't Now he's played all five spots, UM, you know, 174 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: he was able to you know, do a good job 175 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: of communicating with the players around him and getting everybody 176 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: on the page for the most part. I mean, that's 177 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: that's the challenge, Paul of of offensive line play is 178 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: trying to get five guys to act as one because 179 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: if one part of it breaks down, it makes all 180 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: five of them, you know, usually look bad. And that's 181 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: where offensively, that's where we want to start with the 182 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: same defensively as is upfront. UM. Our defensive lines and 183 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: our offensive line have to set the tempo for our team. UM. 184 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: And that's what we worked towards every day. And one 185 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: one of the things that you always mentioned, smart, tough, dependable, 186 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: smart as always first. Yeah, I'm sure for a reason. 187 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: Is that especially important with the offensive line because you know, 188 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: you can get guys who aren't high pedigree guys, but 189 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: if they're smart, is that really crucial to what has 190 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 1: to happen up there. Yeah, for us absolutely, Uh, I 191 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: would just not just the offensive line. But since you're asking, yeah, 192 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,359 Speaker 1: it is, um, you know, smart, being able to communicate 193 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: well again, having toughness, and being dependable. That's that's important 194 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: really for every position, but you know, in particular offensive line, 195 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: and you add on top of that the communication factor 196 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: that I talked about of of all five of those 197 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 1: guys trying to act as one. That's important because it's 198 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: a very tough position to play. You know, it's a um, 199 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: it's physically tough, and I'd say it's it's mentally challenged 200 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: to with the variety of looks that you get down 201 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: in from a from a defense. Thanks, you got it. 202 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna take five more. Art Stapleton, how are you 203 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: doing good? We got the official word about Beavers obviously 204 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: with the torn a c l blow for him. What 205 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: what was that like when you were trying to meet 206 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: with him and kind of talk to him about what 207 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: you know, what the next step is going to be. Yeah, 208 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: I just say that, Um. You know for these guys 209 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: that I've said this before, you just have a tremendous 210 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: amount of respect for the players because you know, you 211 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: see him on away games or you see him early 212 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: in the morning on the on the off days of 213 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: of how much they take care of their body. Obviously 214 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: it's their tool. And whenever, you know, when something like 215 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: that happens, you know, there there's a wide range, wide 216 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: range of emotions, i'd say for every player, and each 217 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: player is different. Um. You know, so you try to 218 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: be there to be supportive, uh, and you know, do 219 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: the best job you can in that regard, and you 220 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: know what's next and have your mind on what's next 221 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: and help the players in any way you can. Um. 222 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's tough. We've you know, mckeithon 223 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: had one, you know, and then now Beaver's had one. 224 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: For young players, that's that's tough, particularly guys that that 225 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: we're developing and doing a good job in camp. Um, 226 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: you know with with the Bright Future, just one quick 227 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: thing off of that. Uh, you know he'd been getting 228 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: Beavers have been getting a lot of time with Blake 229 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: being you know, work back in Blake getting his action 230 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: last night. Do you feel like Blake is in position 231 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: to kind of maybe accelerate a little bit towards the opener? 232 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: Are you still kind of in a status quo for him. Yeah, 233 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: we've we've been we've been working him back in he 234 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: had he had good ten call it ten wraps. Maybe 235 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: a little bit less than that, but active was in 236 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: where you're supposed to be, uh read the offense. Well, 237 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: I have a lot of confidence in Blake. Thanks Chart 238 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: and ran on, Hey Grime, what's up? Hey good good? 239 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: I want to look forward for a second here this week, 240 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: you have a joint practice with the jet I want 241 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: to know what went into that for you, and it's 242 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: how much were you aware of? It's sort of like 243 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: a big deal. The last time I noticed a long 244 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: time ago at this point, but the last time that 245 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: these teams did have a joint practice, I've heard some 246 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: stories about that, uh about the last it was a 247 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: while back, right. I just I have a tremendous amount 248 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: of respect for coach sala Um. Really got to meet 249 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: him at the owners meetings UM back in March or 250 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: April whenever it was UM. And then when we we 251 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: talked about potentially practicing against one other, you know, we 252 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: kind of went around and around they I think they 253 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: have a game tonight. My mistaken against Atlanta, So we 254 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: ended up doing just one instead of two based on 255 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: their schedule in our schedule. You know, any time you 256 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: practice against the team, you want to get good, good 257 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: working um practice the right way. It's almost like you're 258 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: practicing against your team. I'd say it's you know, pretty competitive, 259 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: but you still want to take care of one another, 260 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: knowing that you know you have so many guys and 261 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: you want to try to keep people up and stay 262 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: away from the quarterback. And you know, having the conversations 263 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: I've had with with coach Salah up to this point, 264 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: they've been good. We'll revisit it after his game tonight. 265 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: Make sure that you know, we're kind of in line 266 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: with what we want to do relative to the schedule 267 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: and the injuries that that each team has, and make 268 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: sure we're doing what's best for our players and get 269 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: something productive out of it. And what kind of stories 270 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: did you hear about that last faction? Was there was 271 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: some some brawls here I heard, but the also the 272 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: coaches were yelling at each other, So curious if you 273 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: were aware of that. No, I didn't hear that one. No, 274 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: I just heard there was some There was some couple 275 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: of brawls in there, which we'll try to stay away from. 276 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: Appreciate it Tom Cannavan, Brian, how are you good? Time? 277 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: How are you good? Um? One of the things that 278 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: in less than three weeks you can play your first 279 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: agualous season game. And I mean you've been going at 280 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: this for eight months now. Do you have any idea 281 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: where you are in respects to being ready for that 282 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: first season, that first game? Yeah? I think what you 283 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: try to do is focus on each day, um, and 284 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: improving each day and improve from game to game. It'll 285 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: get on you quick, but I you know, you have 286 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: to take care of what's in front of you today 287 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: and improve those things and keep building on it. And 288 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: that's the way we approach it. We don't look too 289 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: far ahead, don't look too far behind, learn from certainly 290 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: our mistakes, and try to build to be better each day. 291 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: Is there any area that concerned you other than injuries? Yeah, Look, 292 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: you're always trying to get better. You're never where you 293 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: need to be, particularly early in the season, you're still 294 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: trying to find out even the first couple of years. 295 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: You know that you know, some of those championship teams 296 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: that I was fortunate to be part of, you know, 297 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: there was you know, the first couple of games you're 298 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: still trying to figure out exactly what you are. Um, 299 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: you know, you keep improving, it might not be you 300 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: know exactly where you want to be early in the season. 301 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: You'd like to get off to a fast start, but 302 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: you know there's a you know, games in September, they're 303 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: really important to get off to a fast start. But 304 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: I think you're you know, you're fundamentals, your techniques, you know, 305 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: the big things that you need to do in every 306 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: football game, but particularly early in the year. The blocking, 307 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: the catching, the getting open, being on the same page, 308 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: those are those are critical because you really don't know. Um, 309 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,359 Speaker 1: you know, you can watch the team in the offseason 310 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: and study them, but but each team evolves every year. 311 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: They might have been one thing one year and you 312 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: think you're gonna get it in the first couple of games, 313 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: and they're you know, they're turning into something else for 314 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: they're using players a different way. So it really comes 315 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: down to be and good technicians, good at fundamentals, doing 316 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: the big things right, ball security, um, you know those 317 00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: type of things. You got it. Love to hear Leonard 318 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: and then Ryan Dunley by pot go ahead and Brian, 319 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: I'm just curious what well do you attribute to the 320 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: amount of injuries you guys have had so far, and 321 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: is it is it becoming overwhelming to deal with with 322 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 1: so many and you know, including some key guys. I 323 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: think injuries are part of the game. Pad. Look, you 324 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: never want guys to get hurt, but that's that's the 325 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: nature of of playing a contact, physical sport at the 326 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: highest level. Certain things happened that you know, some of 327 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: them already your control, UM, and have been part of 328 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: this league for a long time.
