1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: What level of concern do you have for Darius Slayton 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,519 Speaker 1: and not just his ability to dress, but his ability 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: to play for four quarters in this game. We just 4 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: see him on the injury report. Yeah, I mean he 5 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: was on the injury report. He was out there working 6 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,159 Speaker 1: with us yesterday. Um, you know, we pulled back a 7 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: little bit of some of this stuff. But we'll see 8 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: how he is today. Pat Um, I'm expecting you know, Darius, 9 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: just play and if the trainers tell me otherwise, I'll 10 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: tell me otherwise. Thanks, Doug, Joe. When you look at Washington, 11 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: what do you see from Landon Collins on tape? You know, 12 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: he's an aggressive player. I think he's probably his most productive. 13 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: He's close to the line of scrimmage. He's the guy 14 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: that triggers real fast, makes a lot of plays close 15 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage. Even in the backfield. He's 16 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: definitely an aggressive player in space. I mean, he's going 17 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: for the big hit a lot of times, and he's 18 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: got a good instincts in the back end of the field. 19 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: You know, he's showing a good awareness as far as 20 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: really key in the quarterback's eyes and making good breaks 21 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: and play that quarters coverage where that buzz safety when 22 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: he comes on down that single high looks. So he 23 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: does a good job really playing off the quarterback and 24 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: when he gets a shot, he's gonna swing for the fences. 25 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: And one thing has been a lot to talk about 26 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: the hearing with the quarterbacks, say this year on the 27 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: on the TV copy, So you actually watch the TV 28 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: copy as well as the you know, the coaches film. Yeah, 29 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 1: I'd say probably every team in the league. I would 30 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: think watch the TV copy. But you're looking for anything 31 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: you can to help prepare your team and find advantage. 32 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: So you have to sit there and listen to like 33 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: storylines and all that stuff too while you're watching it. Well, 34 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: we've got some different personnel in the office kind of 35 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: cuts on through and chops things up for you and 36 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: makes you aware of things you have to look at. 37 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: But you know, gotcha. Thanks, I'll leave Joe. I just 38 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: want to go back to receivers for a second. I mean, 39 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: obviously Kate was injured earlier, Chef has been injured a lot. 40 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: I think going into the season, receiver was looked at 41 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: as kind of a strength through this team, and you 42 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: guys have had to use rat Lye before this. You 43 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: know Board now, Austin Mac. Are you guys a little 44 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: undermanned receiver right now? No, I think all of our 45 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: guys that are here on our ross right now preparing 46 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: hard to play, and they get their best every day. 47 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: So they've done a good job working through some different 48 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: scenarios and you know we're actually get them on the 49 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: field the Sunday play. You don't worry about the lack 50 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: of you know, some of those guys Board and Mac 51 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: obviously lack of experience, and that's not something you worry about. 52 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: I've heard you thing before. I guess that every every 53 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: bok of buddy on the team, once they're on the team, 54 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: you don't worry about rookies and whatnot. No, everyone has 55 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: the same responsibility to show up every day to do 56 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: their job, learning their assignments and execute. So your level 57 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: of experience is irrelevant. It's what you do within each 58 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: game plan and how you execute the field. So we 59 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: didn't read into the fact that um showing Shephard wasn't 60 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: actated yesterday that there's a good chance he's not playing Sunday. 61 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't read in too much to anything. I wouldn't 62 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: read in too much anything until we see how it 63 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: goes in practice today. So I'm gonna check Ronnie when 64 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: we leave here right now, see what the plan is 65 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: for the day. You know, he's been making progress every 66 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: day with the trainers, and you know, today's another opportunity 67 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: kind of see where he's at. And just kind of 68 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: a round back to what Dan asked you about watching 69 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: the TV copy? Is that something new this year because 70 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: of the things that you can pick it up, like 71 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: quarterbacks calling out signals and stuff that maybe you did 72 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: this year or have you guys the way you've done things, 73 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: always watched that the TV copy. I've always been involved 74 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: in watching TV copies. That can't speak for anybody else 75 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: around the league. I know it's not a new thing conceptually, 76 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: you know, just in Big pick. Sure. I think this 77 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: year is a little bit different in terms of the 78 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: amount of things you can actually hear. You know, in 79 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: the past that may have been certain select nationally televised 80 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: games because of the amount of microphones and cameras sometimes 81 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: actually helped you based on the scoring situation, the game 82 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: was an acquired a crowd, who are you watching? You know, 83 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: it's tougher. Sometimes you get signals from some teams that have, 84 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, louder crowds at home games, things like that. 85 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: But you're always in for any advantage of ken. So 86 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: I'd say for us, it's nothing new. I can't speak 87 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: for everybody, but I do know other teams have been 88 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: doing it for some time. There is, if you believe 89 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: weather reports, I don't know if you do or not, 90 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: there is zero percent chance of rain on Sunday. Um, 91 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: why is it important for you to have your team 92 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: outside in on the grass and the pouring rain. Yeah, 93 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: today's Today's a great oportune for us to work on 94 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: fundamentals and you're gonna wet grass. You really emphasize your 95 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: players play at their feet under them. Ball security is 96 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: ball handlers, quarterbacks and receivers making sure we're sharp on that. 97 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: Defensive players make sure really get our cleats in the ground. 98 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: We don't slip and slide all over the place. And 99 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: just in general, any chance you get the opportunity to 100 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: work in weather, you have to use it. You've used 101 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: to your advantage, whether it's wind snow, rain, hard sum, 102 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. You may not get this opportunity again. 103 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: And the next time we say see rain, maybe in 104 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: a game on Sunday, So we always use every situation 105 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: we have to pair ourselves. Do you have to um 106 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, I know you're not a guy who walks 107 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: out they were afraid all the time. But do you 108 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: have to weigh that slippery field, grass, guys slipping, guys 109 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: getting hurt versus what you want to get? No, I 110 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: mean it's our responsibility as coach and players to go 111 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: out and be prepared for practice. That includes warming up 112 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: our bodies correctly. It means playing with our feet under us, 113 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: means having the right equipment on, so the right cleats 114 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: to match the weather conditions and the grass and the 115 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: surface that we're on right there. So now look it's football, 116 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna go outside. Whatever it is. We'll use all 117 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: the elements to advantage every time we can. What would 118 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: you win mean for this team? Right? I think it 119 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: would mean the same thing it means to us anyway. 120 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: Every week, you know, we prepare hard. We want to 121 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: see results, want to get this for the fans. You know, 122 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: Look it's the NFL. Every week, everyone's training and playing 123 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: hard to get the win. You know, for this team, 124 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: it's no different. Gut there. Every week we give it 125 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: our all. I want to make sure that we don't 126 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,039 Speaker 1: make mistakes to set ourselves behind. But for us, it 127 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: just about one game at a time and we're trying 128 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: to do right now to go one or other this week. 129 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: Chances David Mayo makes it back this week as well. 130 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: He's been practicing the last couple of days. He's making 131 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: a lot of progress. You know. Obviously we'll talk about 132 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: the actives and inactives. Um, he'll be in that conversation 133 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: for us. We'll see where he's at after today. And 134 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: what have you seen from chef so far? I just 135 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: seem he's been working tires, so he's made a lot 136 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: of progress in terms from where he was when he 137 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: got hurt in Chicago to physically where he is now 138 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: right there. I just saw him gonna wait from two 139 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: seconds ago. You know, he's in good spirits. You know, 140 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: he's obviously actually get back on the grass. We want 141 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: to see him back out there as soon as possible. 142 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: We was gonna make sure we make the right decisions 143 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: for him long term medically. I don't think we asked 144 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: you what watch about Austin mac the other day when 145 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: you guys brought him up to the active roster. I'm 146 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: just curious what has he done to separate himself from 147 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: the rest of the receivers that you guys have carried 148 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: from the summer on your practice squad, and what do 149 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: you expect from him if you put him out there 150 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Yeah, I would say this independent of anybody 151 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: else who's been on our roster, just you know, reporting 152 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: on MAC. He's definitely a guy has been consistent for 153 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: us from day one. It's the guy who prepares very well. 154 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: He plays with a high motor, he plays very hard. 155 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: He's a young guy, but he does a lot of 156 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: things in terms of instincts that helps him make the 157 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: right decisions on the grass at full speed. It's guy 158 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: plays full till all the time. I'm very pleased with 159 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: his work ethic. He's a guy that wh who's working 160 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: some of our look teams.
