So 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.400 that's the thing I told them in there. The great 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.040 thing about a first game is you get an opportunity 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.279 to see exactly where you're at. You get to get 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:41.639 to see some good stuff, and you get to see 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.120 you're exposed and what you need to work on. Sometimes 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.800 it's hard to see that in practice. So happy about that, 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.199 and we got work to do. Give the guys a 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.760 day off tomorrow and we'll be back at it on Sunday. 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.920 So what questions you have, John? As far as any 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.840 updated I really don't have any updates on anybody's status 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:01.280 right now. 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.600 Uh, we'll get we'll find out more tomorrow when they 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.119 get tested. We expect to see gave it a job over. 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:08.920 He did not play on him. 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.640 Yeah, he wasn't cleared by the doctors to play in 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:10.920 the game. 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.600 Kay, John Helpes. 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.080 Where you to see Wigans have three pass break ups 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.040 on that opening drive, you know, rookie. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:18.960 First round pick, first action. 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.120 Nice to see him test and didn't answer that. Uh, 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:23.720 very happy to see that. 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:25.640 I thought they kind of went at him a little bit, 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.080 which was good to see. And heck, yeah, when you're 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.360 a corner, corner of his caliber, he wants. 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:31.440 That, you know. 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.720 So I think he was excited about that and came 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.440 up and made that hit later and uh, played a good. 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.360 Game seem today. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.280 Yeah, I mean a lot of great stuff flies around. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.200 Trend's a guy that you know, he just he loves football. 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:45.840 He wants to be great at everything he does. I 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.720 promise he's not happy with it when he played. You know, 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.480 he thinks he can play a lot better, right, and 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.480 he'll be. He'll be looking to improve between now and 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.720 next week. But that's a good start for him. 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.160 Uh. He's never gonna be afraid. He's always gonna fly 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.520 around throw it in there. So he's our kind of guy. 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.880 He go things that make some confidence for Tavi and 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.360 Larry starts down. 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.720 Uh yeah, I mean it's good to see made some 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.040 good decisions. Uh we we gotta get on the same 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.840 page a little more. Some of the routes he had 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.000 had some guys not running right routes all the time. 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.959 That's tough, but uh uh, I thought he started. It 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:16.840 was a good start for him. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.840 You mentioned, uh Baco Center, biggest plus from what you 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.400 had to think. Cleveland's in there to day. 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.400 Yeah, I mean we'll see, you know, I gotta look 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:24.720 at the tape to kind of get a feel for that. 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.760 I'm not exactly sure how those guys did specifically too much, 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.520 but we had we we were pretty solid, look like, 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:31.880 So we'll see what looks like on tape. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:32.240 That's the thing. 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.000 You just can't wait to get to the tape and 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:41.760 and really break it all down and see where you're at. 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:40.400 What. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.400 Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean he's you know, he feels 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.320 bad about it, but he's just starting out learning experience 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.119 for him. I think you the speed of this game 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.400 is a little different, you know, and going in there 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.280 that first snap, you know, it's uh, that's a tough 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:57.200 situation to be in. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.880 So uh So I don't know, it's he'll learn from it. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:01.280 It'll be fine. 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.600 It's preseason, you know, we we learn, try to learn 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.760 as much as we can from these situations, and he'll 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.760 be better for it. He's a he's a conscientious guy. 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.200 He wants to do well. He's a good dude, really 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.880 works hard. Uh, you know, one of those guys that 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.640 takes responsibility for all that kind of stuff. 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:15.760 And he'll be fine. 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.480 Any of me would take aways from the the special 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.639 team return and changes and uh, Eagles had one pretty 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.480 decent return to anything else can cuss home? 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:24.919 Yeah, I mean r L three didn't do a great 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.520 job of getting in there on his leverage on that one. 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.280 So I I that's the one thing I did notice. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.079 The rest of it, as far as what the play 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.600 looks like and all that stuff, it's like kind of 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:33.560 done commenting on that. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:34.960 You know, it is what it is. Ever you all 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:35.280 saw it. 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.120 So we just gotta try to get as good as 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.480 we can at it. So we'll be we'll be looking 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.040 at that really hard and trying to trying to keep 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.160 keep improving there and see see where we were right, 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.000 and things we thought about in terms of how we 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.120 are teaching it and things that we can learn from John. 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.440 You had declared the jobs in the back up pretty 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:53.480 early on on what what. 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.640 Did you see from him tonight that you know not most. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.000 Person light and see for him? 0:03:59.040 --> 0:03:59.839 When was the last part? 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.240 I just seemed like, you know again up the time 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.920 even Yeah, I mean it's preseason. I think if you 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.120 watch all the preseason games, you're gonna see the same thing, 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.440 you know. So, Uh, I thought he handled it, handled 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.160 it well, made some real good throws, the timing and 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.280 that sort of thing. Yeah, it's tough to evaluate, cause, 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.560 y you know, the guys aren't out there. It's not 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.840 it's not always gonna look real great. But I thought 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.440 he handled him suff really well. He made some really 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.240 good throws and uh, protected the football like you want 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.239 him to do, and got us in the right plays, 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.000 made some decisions on which plays to get us into, 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.600 which is part of our offense. So uh, that's kind 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:36.120 of where it's at. Any first persons seeing Andrew Morgy's 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.600 out there the first time actually going up against now 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.680 in students, Yeah, it seem good. You know, I'm I'm 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.280 looking again. I'm looking forward to seeing the front of 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.560 the lineman on the tape. You know, probably next time 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.919 we have a press conference, I'll probably have a little more. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.280 To talk about with that. But I thought they were 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.000 pretty solid. 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:51.440 You know. 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:52.200 I'd like to see us. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.640 Running the ball a little better, uh, a little more 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:55.760 consistently than we did. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:56.520 Uh. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.640 Pass protection seemed okay for the most part. So uh, 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.880 you know, that's all I know right now. All right, 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:04.000 all right, good thanks. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.920 We also heard from second year linebacker Trenton Simpson. He's 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.000 in line for a big role and he had a 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.640 good amount of action in this game. He talked about 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.039 the value in those preseason reps and what he learned 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:18.839 from the experience. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.760 So what did you think of you know, you know, being. 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:25.800 Able to get out there for today? 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.680 How man? I feel like it was an awesome opportunity 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.560 to get out there today and play as a young linebacker. 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.560 I feel like a getting its many reps, It's is 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.200 a blessing. It's more the more you see at this 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.520 position is the more you learn, uh, the faster. 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:38.719 You can play. 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.360 So being able to get out there today get reps 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.400 under my belt and just I feel like I have 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.280 to just continue to prove on some things.

I mean, I feel like in 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.640 every game you turn, you take something, you learn from it. 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.200 But uh, just run fits communication wise, and uh, just 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:04.960 continue to just play fast and like I said, like 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.120 the more you see the more the game slows down. 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.400 And I just appreciate the reps they're giving me. So 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:10.920 by the time week one come, I'll be ready to 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:11.440 row for sure. 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.480 And co course said you wouldn't be happy with your performance. 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.800 So if you're critiquing yourself, what were you not happy with?

I can 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:24.520 make plays on special teams and on offense. You know, 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.360 obviously there's areas for improvement, like Trent was saying, as 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.839 your competitor, you always feel like you want to improve 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.439 on something. So at the you know, I'll go back 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.839 and look at film and see what I can improve 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.480 on and be ready for next week. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.400 I mean, how about these stabs, these reps for you 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:45.760 to be able to get. 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:46.720 Out there and getting this experience. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:51.719 Yeah, huge, getting these reps and everything, and especially on 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.520 special teams, just trying to be you know, places where 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.000 I can help the team out the most, you know, 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.920 sacrifice and do all that kind of stuff. Yeah, that's 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.160 it's huge, especially in the preseason, showing people what you 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.840 can do and how you can display your talents anywhere 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:05.640 and your abilities. 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.280 It's big.

It's it's huge, especially for my family 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.679 being here too. It was really a blessing I wanna 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.840 remember forever. Honestly, do you feel like you might. 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.839 Be competing with al of you for one spot or 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.640 is that not really how you look at this whole process. 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.880 I think we just we're a team and you know, 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.040 whoever is the best is gonna you know, play, and 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.719 you know, we just come to work and we just 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.400 compete every single day and just try to make each 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.199 other better honestly, and not really focused on all the 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.079 uh the other things. We just try to be the 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.120 best we can be as a running back group. Doesn't 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:51.760 matter who it is. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.880 What's the difference for you, you know this time now 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:56.960 compared to this time. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.480 Last year, obviously catch definitely uh a year under my 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.760 belt just you know, seeing the whole speed of things, 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.000 understanding you know, the schemes and the concepts and everything 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.920 a little bit better. Like I said, having that year 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.160 under the belt is is huge, especially for me learning 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.079 this offense offensively. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.040 What do you think is kind of the the big 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:17.760 takeaway from. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:22.040 From the sea, I think we we did a lot 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.439 of stuff. Well, like I said before this, you know, 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:30.280 as an offense, we just gotta, you know, gl go back, 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.439 look at the tape and see how we can execute 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.439 a little bit better. Some guys made some plays, and 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.360 you know, sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn't, 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.800 and we'll be back next week. And that's what sport 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:41.320 it's all about. 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.880 So, yeah, when you had a flitz pick up on 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.719 a third down, Uh, you know, practices a training game, 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.360 but the physicality is. 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:50.680 Never what it is a real game. 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.920 Just what did that feel like, giving blitz or like that? 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.640 Yeah, No, I mean it felt great. I think our 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.400 defense and practice and just our defense over all gives 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.600 us a great look. It's the hardest defense I've ever played. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.240 I think they give us a great look in practice, 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.280 and when it gets to the game, it's I think 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.400 it's as easier to pick up than in practice, honestly 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:12.920 because of our defense. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.160 Okay, thanks, thank you guys. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.240 The offensive line is a big focus and talking point 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.800 for this team. Ben Cleveland started at center. He's in 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.400 places of Tyler linn Obaum's dealing with an injury right now. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.720 Cleveland talked about the refs that he got in this game. 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.280 I can but you to that. Yeah for sure. 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:37.959 Yeah, I mean, you know it's it's gonna take a 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.040 second to get you know, in a groove and things 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.000 like that. You know, I think he did a good 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:43.960 job overcoming a little bit of struggle at the beginning 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.839 and really pushing his way forward and you know, being 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.200 being really productive and really efficient for. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.080 Us moving the needle. Like a trust with the coaches, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:52.800 Oh for sure. 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.480 I mean, you know, whenever you got a guy that 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.960 shows up every day and just does what he's supposed 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.000 to and you know, works as hard as he does, 0:13:59.040 --> 0:13:59.480 I mean. 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.959 It's or to not trust a guy like that, and 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.280 you got to work on it during the week. But 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:04.960 how did you feel just as center tonight? 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.079 No, I felt really good. And I mean all of 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.040 our communication everything was good. I mean I felt very 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.360 comfortable there. You know, I think we were all on 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.800 the same page all the time. So I mean I 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:16.240 felt really good about how I did. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:16.560 They're not. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.080 Another really important player along the offensive line is Roger 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.080 Rosengart and the second round pick.
