1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: Where we at at this point with Andrew Thomas. 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 2: Everybody's practicing and we'll reevaluate that for practice. 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 3: If he in some situation where he can't play, do 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 3: you play to pick pert or a zoo doo or 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 3: could that be a rotation like you did with Guard 6 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 3: in the past. 7 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say, you know, let's we're gonna go out there, 8 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 2: We're going to practice today. Those are discussions, right we have, 9 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: you know, after after practices today. 10 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: That would assume to think the fact that at least 11 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas is on the field again second day in 12 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: a row, is that's a fairly positive sign, at least 13 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: from your perspective. 14 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I'm not. You know, I talk to him 15 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: every day. So today he said he feels a little 16 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: bit better. We'll do a little bit more with him today. 17 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: And then again, I think it's really unfair to to 18 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 2: give you an answer right now, because they got to 19 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: go out there and and move around and do things, 20 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: and you know that's why we do it. 21 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: After practice today so much input. 22 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 4: Does he probably say he wants to play? 23 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: No, that's yeah, I know I have discussions anytime a 24 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: players injured. Obviously, I refer to the medical staff, and 25 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: I trust those guys implaicitly, but I also want to 26 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: talk to the player to see where they're at their 27 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: head's at. Again, you want to do the player right, 28 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: so you know, if he's ready to play, he'll play. 29 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: And maybe he's not, he won't, but he's you know, 30 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: you appreciate the players that are banged up some form 31 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 2: of fashion, that are are working through things and wanting 32 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: to go out there and practice and do things. So 33 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 2: I'd say it's a conversation I have with Ronnie, his staff, 34 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: obviously with Andrew, and then ultimately how we go out 35 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: there in practice and you know what he feels he 36 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 2: can do or not do. Again, maybe it's a little 37 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: bit more than it was yesterday, and so give it 38 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: all the way up to the time we can give 39 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 2: it to. 40 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 3: I know we weren't here for all of them. 41 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 5: But I saw a stat yesterday actually the Giants put 42 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 5: it out that Daniel is seven to one and one 43 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 5: in his last nine games after a loss. Knowing his mentality, 44 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 5: does that surprise you? 45 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: Like? 46 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 3: Is that exactly who you know? 47 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 4: That? 48 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: Is that where his even keelness pays off? 49 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't know 50 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: that staff to be honest with yet. So I think 51 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: the biggest thing is just to come out there with 52 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: with a good mindset, regardless of what happens the week before, 53 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: and try to do the best you can with understanding 54 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: the game plan, you know, executing in practice, and then 55 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: ultimately you know, playing well on Sunday. So at this point, 56 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: nobody's been no. 57 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: Wall are being limited yesterday? 58 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: Was that part of his plan? 59 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 3: Would you expect him to be limited every Thursday after dress? 60 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 2: I'd say, to be determined. He moved around, He moved 61 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 2: around good yesterday. So him being limited yesterday was at 62 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: the plane coming out of Wednesday. Yeah, look, he wasn't. 63 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: I mean he was limited. He did plenty of stuff. Uh, 64 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: he just didn't do every every single rep. So, uh, 65 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: making progress. I think he's in a good spot. 66 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 3: Do you get the sets that the offensive lineman who 67 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: struggled last week are anxious to get back out there, 68 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 3: Like after a bad game, do you guys get hungry 69 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: to like sooner the better? 70 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 4: Yeah? 71 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: Well, I think the mindset is to be anxious every 72 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 2: week to get out there. I don't know if anxious 73 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 2: is the right word. Is to be ready to go 74 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 2: each week regardless of the outcome. The pre this week 75 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: has come out and have a great attitude to do 76 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: the things you need to do during the week so 77 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: you can perform at your best on you know, whatever 78 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: day we play. 79 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 4: Andrew's uncertains thats complicated how you use jobs this week 80 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 4: in practice, because like he might be up in there, 81 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 4: he might be up in the guard, Like, how do 82 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 4: you make sure. 83 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's why we've We've done a bunch of 84 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: stuff and whether it was training camp, OTAs move guys around, 85 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: you know, the guys that aren't necessarily as starters, they 86 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: got to be able to play multiple spots. 87 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: How do you balance that throughout the week in regards 88 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: to reps with a young player, especially like that, like 89 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: if you want to start them out, maybe a has 90 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: to change later on. How do you sort of balance that? 91 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, you give the guys the reps that they need. 92 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: And again there's a build up too of having reps 93 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: at certain spots throughout whenever it was OTA's training camp 94 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: last year, whatever it may be, there's time on task 95 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: with it. 96 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 3: Do you feel pressure this week to win this game? 97 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: I think every week is the same for me. You 98 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 2: got to go out there, do the things you need 99 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: to do during the week to try to put the 100 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: best possible, you know, performances you can on the field do. 101 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: The opener was such a big game because you're able 102 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: to you know, build off that and sort of roll 103 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: off that. Do you have any philosophy or theories on 104 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: like the importance of early season games for that purpose 105 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: compared to maybe later in the year, Jordan, My. 106 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: Philosophy is every game is important. And that's not coach speak, 107 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: it isn't it. You only get seventeen of them, You're 108 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 2: only guarantee seventeen of them, so you can't you learn 109 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: from mistakes, you learn from good games, you learn from 110 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: poor games. I've said this plenty of times before. And 111 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: then you move on to the next week and your 112 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: laser focused on the things you need to do. Every 113 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: game is important, so you you treat them such with 114 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: such importance because they are more. 115 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 4: More about, you know, critically evaluating things, and if you 116 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 4: need to make changes, you have to make changes everybody 117 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 4: you're making any changes lineup wise, Yeah. 118 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: I'd say, again, that's not that's not just from a 119 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: one week performance. That's that's every week. You do that 120 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 2: every place I've ever been. You do that every week 121 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: as a coaching staff, as a scouting department, You're constantly 122 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 2: in evaluation mode to try to do the best you 123 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: can do for that particular week. 124 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: You asked about his ease and how he's doing. 125 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 2: He'll be out there practicing today and then we'll get 126 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: a feel for where he's at. Talk about that later today. 127 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 2: You know, i'd say same thing, same thing as I'm 128 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: not saying his ease. He's he's kind of been progressing again, 129 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 2: He's had a good day yesterday. We'll see where he's at, 130 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: uh today, and then ultimately make our decision what we 131 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 2: think is best for him and then ultimately the team 132 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: going forward.
