Speaker 1: by getting on an a TV? Yeah, I know. I'm

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,920

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,800

Speaker 1: can't do anything about that now. We you're ready to

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: play Houston. I'm sure most coaches, so I'm sure you

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: did sent players into the bye week with a message

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: of like, be smart, be careful. Do you feel like

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: he was being smart and careful from what you know?

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: Do you feel like he was doing that and just

25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: bad break? Yeah? Again, you know, I think we're all

26
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,280

27
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: to get back. You know, I feel bad for him.

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: I feel bad for us. It's an unfortunate thing that happened.

29
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: What are you doing in the meantime in that position?

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Get everybody else ready to go? He's there? Anybody specific

00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: Pinnac will be out there. Um, you know we have

33
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: guys that can that can play. We feel confident him.

34
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: Did Julian have the Queen dot coach? Julian will have it?

35
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: Do you apologize to you? Yeah, I mean I'm I'm

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into the conversations that we

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: had their private between the player, myself, the organization. Um

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at with it. Yeah, same thing, it's

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: all private matter. Um again, I feel bad for us,

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: I feel bad for him. Um, certainly not something you

41
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: want to see. Um, you know, I feel bad for

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: the kid in particular, I mean he got injured, um,

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: and I feel bad for us. You know, we lost

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: a good player for a few weeks. Was he he

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: need to go to the hospital out there? And did

46
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: you guys? I'm not getting into the particulars Jordan's You

47
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: guys can talk to Dexter and ask him or X. Sorry,

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: but do you think I will return this season at

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: some point? Isn't? We'll say, okay, yeah, we'll see does

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: anybody have the range that he has, you know, side

51
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: to sideline the sideline who's going to replace him? We'll

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: find out is does he need surgery or is that

53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: I'm not getting into I'm not getting any particulars with it.

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: What have you been your impressions of Dane? Professional? Done

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: everything we asked him to do. A good football player.

56
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: He's done a good job for us out there. You

57
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: guys is getting shamed back? Are you getting anybody else

58
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: back after a bye week? Ordered it? That's healthy? Yeah.

59
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: The only two that won't practice today are Billinger and Neil.

60
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Everybody else will practice anyway. I'm going to be demited

61
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: or yeah, some guys, some guys, But there we're moving

62
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: in the right direction with everybody with Nick Williams as

63
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,559
Speaker 1: he's done for a year. Uh yeah, yep. With Balingerer,

64
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: is he um do back at some point because with

65
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: an eye surgery you worry about Yeah, at some point whenever.

66
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Whenever that is you know when everyone he's ready to go,

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: that's when they'll be out here at some point. I mean,

68
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: I can't give you the exact date, but he's getting better. Yeah,

69
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: it looks a lot better too, right teams, you guys

70
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: are really limited then on the defensive line, defensive tackle particularly,

71
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: what do you guys do there? Well, we have guys,

72
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: We'll have guys on the practice squad. We'll see how

73
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: they do. Um. You know we always have We always

74
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: have a plabulet that go through the whole week and

75
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: then decide on Friday. We talked about dividing the season

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: into quarters. What is your approach for I guess it's

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: a good third quarter of this year. Yeah, important game

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: you know at home. U, we're gonna have to play well.

79
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: We came off of by feel like we're arrested. The

80
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: guys have had a lot of good energy here these

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: last couple of days, and we need to go out

82
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: there and have a good week and um like we

83
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: do every week. You change anything though at this point,

84
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 1: like you probably I assume no more significantly more about

85
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: at that you're on team of change like change, scheme, change, schedule,

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: team change anything like you know, as you move along

87
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: each quarter and disease. Um. No, I'd say we're pretty

88
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: consistent with how we handle things, um, relative to the

89
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: scheduling and practice stuff like that. You know, we looked

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: at a lot of different things. Um. You know, do

91
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: you make tweaks? I think you do that every week. UM.

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: So we'll see where we're at here this week. One

93
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: time you end Shane rejected as a starter for you guys, Yeah,

94
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: can he get that job? I mean, is that job

95
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: up for grabs as he comes back there? Well, I

96
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: mean this is his first day back, so let's I mean,

97
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: the first thing I wanta do is see him out

98
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: there on the field and give him a few reps

99
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: on the look team and see how re response to that.

100
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: And we'll just you know, start with that. Since coming

101
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: on to buy against Houston, I mean, obviously their records

102
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: are deceptive. We saw what they did with Philly and

103
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: especially that first half last week. What are your kind

104
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: of early assessments of what make Yeah. I think coach

105
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: Leve Smith does a great job. I thought Nick Casserra

106
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: has done a really good job of selecting some young

107
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: players on their roster that are good football players. You know,

108
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: Petrie and Stingley and Pierce have all really contributed. They

109
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: play a lot of young players. I think they have

110
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: some good veteran players, um, you know, on the defense

111
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: in particular. You know, Jerry Hughes is a guy that

112
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with at Buffalo and he's playing at a high,

113
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: high level right now, which I'm not surprised with Mario

114
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: Addison's back there, Kirk's I mean, they got a lot

115
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: of players. Um, they're competitive and we're gonna need to

116
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: be at our best as a as a source of motivation.

117
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: Have you ever talked to your team about playoff possibilities?

118
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: And if not, why no? Because I think we just

119
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: live in the moment um. Each week is its own

120
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: week in the NFL, and you try to stack as

121
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: many as you can together, and at the end of

122
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: the year or wherever you're at, you're at. I think

123
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: if you lose focus on what's important, which is the

124
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: only thing you control is today and then go out

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: there tomorrow and then get ready to play a good team.

126
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: That's all you can control. You get too far ahead

127
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: of yourself again, brings you back to reality real quick.

128
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: You James played the concussion protocol. He's still he'll be

129
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: limited today. He's still he's non contact. Do you plan

130
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: to make a change of count return? Um, yeah, I'm not.

131
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into who we're playing, who we're

132
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: not playing. I say that we have, you know, a

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: lot of people competing for that spot right now, and

134
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes. Is Aaron Robinson? He can

135
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: be eligible to return now, will you return? Doubtful? And

136
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: you think he's going to play this year? Doubtful? Do

137
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: you since we last talked to you? Joe Shane expressed

138
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: confidence that Kenny would be back this week. Where are

139
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: you on Goliday? You think I'll play this week? Oh yeah,

140
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: he's practicing. Oh he'll be I mean he's limited or

141
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: whatever we're gonna put him at, but he should be

142
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: ready to go. Brian, you you guys have preached, you

143
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: specifically preached consistency every week process. This is obviously an

144
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: inconsistent situation now coming back from the Boys and there

145
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: are differences for this team. Have you taken a time

146
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: or will do you take the time to kind of

147
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: take the pulse of this team to see where you're at,

148
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: to see if you're picking up where you're left off

149
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: or is it not an expectation that you pick up

150
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: of years. No, I just I think we come out

151
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: here and try to have a good day, like we

152
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: do in meetings, you know, put the game plan in,

153
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: come out, practice well, compete. Um. You know, we only

154

Speaker 1: We've done a schedule a couple of times similar to this.

157
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: It's worked well for us. Um. So today is a

158
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: normal Wednesday for us, and then tomorrow you guys got scheduled.

159
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: But no, I mean we should go out there and

160
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, do the things we need to do today

161
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: to help us out for Sunday after So scouting, are

162
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: there things that stand out that you really would like

163
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: to improve on in his fast Yeah, I mean, look,

164
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: you look at fundamentals, what we could do drill wise

165
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: to help our players. You look at different schemes, um,

166
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of different things that we

167
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: talked about, and then you try to implement him out

168
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: there today. But again your game planning now back for Houston.

169
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: A lot of it, Bob is let's see what we

170
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: need to do better fundamentally, and then certain situations that

171
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: come up as a play caller or a scheme. You

172
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: talk about a lot of different things. And one more sure,

173
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: I know he's on I arm, but how far along

174
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: is his ease? Is there any chance when he's ready

175
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: that he come along? Yeah, yeah, he'll be. He'll practice today. Well,

176
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: uh say, probably as as Kenny will work these guys

177
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: back in, but him plot holiday, all those guys should be,

178
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully ready to go. Kenny obviously got off

179
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: to a slow star. What is your expectation? Can he

180
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: play better now that he's coming off intry back pig

181
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: things for him? And I expect him to come out

182
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: here and have a good Wednesday, you know, I mean,

183
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't take it too far down the road.

184
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you can do that. Um, just come

185
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: out here and have a good practice. Just ask because

186
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: obviously receivers an area where yeah, yeah, we'll see. I

187
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: mean we just signed Isaiah Hodgens, so um between Isaiah

188
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: and Kenny and Slayton and Sills and Ritchie and WANDL.

189
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: Those guys will come out here and have a good day. Hodgens,

190
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: that made you decide he was a guy to sign.

191
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: We've drafted him when we were at Buffalo. Um. Big receiver,

192
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: good hands, good good quickness, makes contested catches, very very smart.

193
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: Um really knows all four spots with being here for

194
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: a day. So UM, you know, we'll see where he's at.

195
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: But really good mentality, team first player, hard worker. Um. Again,

196
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: some of the stuff we do was a little bit different,

197
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: but he's picked that up. So we'll see if Thief's

198
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: ready to go. You have one of those things that

199
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: stands out on the wire when they when they wave

200
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: him that whether you knew right away or Joe came

201
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: to you right away that you guys knew, yeah, you

202
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: know that guy was not getting past you the next day. UM.

203
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: I think you try to you try to know the

204
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: league the best you can. Obviously we've had some experience

205
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: with him, but I think Joe and his staff do

206
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: a great job of of really knowing all the players

207
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: in the league. Uh. Then if something comes up, they

208
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: they'll communicate with me or will communicate with the coaches

209
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: and then you had a good give and take and um,

210
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: just something we chose to do the last week. Are

211
