0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the football game, and obviously moving forward,

<v Speaker 1>m Jordan Matthews will actually practice today, warm up, individual group,

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:21.799
<v Speaker 1>install and give him a repertoo in in our seven

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.600
<v Speaker 1>on seven today. So he's he's on track, doing doing

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.479
<v Speaker 1>doing great job with his recovery and should be ready

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to go. Obviously next week. Isaac Simala, we're still gonna

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>day to day. Is still gonna hold him and rest

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>him and make sure that he's one hundred percent before

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>we put him back out there. Wendell, as you know

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>from the game, he's in the h he's in the

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>concussion protocol. He's got to go through all the steps

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>there and and make sure that he's one hundred percent

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>before we bring him back out to the practice field.

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Vinnie and Taylor Hart. Vinny Curry and Taylor Hart both

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>with the knee. Taylor also had the ankle as part

0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>of THEIRS. Fully expect them next week for for Cleveland.

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>And then in Carson situation, Um just got word he

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>had a CT scan a done Um and came back.

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.759
<v Speaker 1>He had you know, he had the two ribs there.

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>So the tenth one is completely healed. The eleventh one

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>still shows about sixty percent. So uh, there's there's still

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>some injury there with him going forward. So with that

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>will open up for questions. If he's sixty percent with

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>that rib, probably not. So there's two two ribs that

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>were injured. Yes, yes, that's correct, that's correct. How much

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>will do he'll continue to work? Uh? You know, he

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>got two good workouts in last week one at the stadium,

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>did did a great job. He's still obviously sore from that,

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>but he'll he'll continue to get his rehab and continue

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>to work. And um, well, uh, we'll just keep day

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>by day just giving him a little more here and there.

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>In the big picture, how much is that concern you

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>at all? Just for him not to get those rests. Well,

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>obviously where we are in the in the in this

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>late and in the process as far as training camp goes,

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>it definitely you know, hurts from a young young quarterback standpoint,

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>his you know, his position to fully grasp and understand

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the offense. But again, I just go back to what

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I see in the classroom. What I see off the

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.959
<v Speaker 1>field is work havoc here, work work ethic here, you know, Um,

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>and just what he knows and what he understands, Um,

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>And and uh, you know the situation where it is

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>right now, you know, with Sam and Chase and and

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>then and then him obviously going into the season as

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the third UM. You know, it doesn't it doesn't concern

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>me as much right now during the sea to replace

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>those reps. It's hard in the regular season to replace

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>those types of reps, UM, because our our focus is

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>with the ones and getting Sam and the starters ready

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to go offensively and defensively. So it's hard to replace

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>those reps the veteran wide receivers. I could do yesterday.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Is that kind of a necessary message to the younger guys,

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the younger receivers that yeah, they have a fair shot.

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>You're not playing favorites. Well, I think the the you know,

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>first of all, Um, you appreciate everybody's hard work. And

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I listen, I've been in those situations. I've been released

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>before as a player and as a veteran player, and

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:18.959
<v Speaker 1>so I understand the business. And it's obviously the tough

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.239
<v Speaker 1>side of what we do as coaches and personnel, UM.

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.639
<v Speaker 1>But at the same same time, we all we are,

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, looking for the for the for the best

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 1>fifty three that we're going to take into the regular season.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>So you know, we've got some young guys that have

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>performed well and and UH want to give them another

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>opportunity here this week coming up to UH to solidify

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.119
<v Speaker 1>those positions and and uh, you know, it's one thing

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>that we set out to do way back when Ota

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>has opened up, was create competition at every every position.

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like we've done that. What a guy's

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>doing like right now and you know, every day here

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and in the games versus what they've done adversus Like

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it was saying like there are guys that you're having

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.120
<v Speaker 1>a team now and maybe they've done stuff in the

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>past that you know, but maybe they're not having as

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>good a can with a younger guy who's ever done

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>an eight and before. That's the tous of fine line,

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, And and you know they're obviously

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>there there's a lot of history, and there's a lot

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>of film on those players, and and you know, a

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of a lot of circumstances. I mean, just it

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>can just come down to you know, who's performing right now.

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Just like you mentioned, I mean, the guys that that

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that are playing at a high level. And and you know,

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you want guys that are all on board and and

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and doing the doing the things right and and um,

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, at the end of the day, you got

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>to make tough decisions and and um, you know again

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not not something that we enjoy doing. You'd

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>love to keep them all, but but the nature of

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 1>the business as you can't. And and uh, you know,

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>we got to find the best feature well again, you know,

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>with you with the competition that we had, and and

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>obviously right now, with with a week left to go,

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these are two veteran guys that that potentially

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 1>could could get picked up on on another another roster.

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 1>So doing it now then later is is obviously a

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>an advantage for them. And to get picked up And

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, we've got guys that hum again, that are

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>equal to you know, and and um you know a

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of times you when you look at your roster

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>as a whole, um and if you can build with

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>youth and you can begin to um, sort of shape

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>your team in a certain direction. Um you know, you

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 1>feel comfortable obviously with your with your top three or

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>four guys, and then it all comes down to that

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>fifth spot. Particularly in that receiver room, and they did

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>they did by end, um, you know, and and and

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just unfortunate, you know. I mean again, we've got

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>we've got some young guys that created some competition, and

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that's what we wanted, and that's that's what we got

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 1>out of this decision. Is there anything is your background

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 1>as a player in the nature of how you guys

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL in your career play, any role in

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 1>how you might evaluate a guy. You know, I keep

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>it in the back of my mind. Um, you know,

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I was an undrafted free agent that that ended up

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.599
<v Speaker 1>playing several years in the league. And I just you know,

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I just think every situation is different, every player is different.

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, circumstances are different, Guys approach things differently, and

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.479
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you want to find the guys that

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>are that are all are all in and you want

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to see them every day out here work hard and

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>practice hard and do the things right. And you know,

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, you know you're gonna

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.239
<v Speaker 1>make You're gonna make tough decisions. But it doesn't factor

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>into the decision making. Although I know I've been in

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>that situation before, so I understand what both the veteran

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>players going through and a and an undrafted rookie might

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>be going through anything. Do you think it also from

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the flip side of that defines you. I mean, you're

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>a first year coach. You can say anything you want

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>to the room, but when you do something like this,

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it tells them A you know just what you're talent

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to play hard, you know, show up and you do well.

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's I think that's what you've seen throughout preseason.

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>You've seen how um I think each week we've gotten

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>better fundamentally, UM tackling has gotten better, offensive line play

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>has gotten better the past, protection of the D line, rush,

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the turnovers. You know, we eliminated a ton

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 1>of penalties this past week. I just think you're seeing

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the guys buying into the whole process and and they're

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>buying into the message and and listen, I don't I'm

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>not here to sell anything to anybody. I don't. I

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>don't have to do it. This is their livelihood, this

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>is their profession, their professional athletes. They get paid well

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and at the end of the day, Um, they know

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>what it takes, you know. But at the same time,

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just know that that you have to

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>push them right up to the end, you know, right

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>up to the to the nth and the degree. You

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 1>got to keep pushing them every single day and and

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>and allowing them to get better and try to be

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>great every single day. And that's a tough thing to do. Um.

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.679
<v Speaker 1>But but the guys have really responded well. And uh um,

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, we still have another round it cuts obviously

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>coming up, but right now where we are, we're in

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>a good position as far as Michael, Why was he

0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>on the field in the fourth quarter. Why because he

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 1>hasn't played. He hasn't played, and we just want to

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>see him, see him get game in my reps. That's

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>bottom line. He's still your starter. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and you might you might, uh you know, he's another

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>one that that we'd love to see again this Thursday night,

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, in a short role. But at the same time,

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't played all preseason, so you know, Stephen Tolik's

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>another one that that we need to see play and

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>and uh um, so there's there's an opportunity for these

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>two to get some more reps on Thursday. Either excuse me,

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Michael wasn't defense before the right he had been out there.

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>That's why we wanted to get him some more reps

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>just in the base defense and and uh, um, you know,

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>we haven't really put our plan yet together for for

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:46.959
<v Speaker 1>this week, but you'll we'll probably see him more in

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 1>nickel situations. I would think on Thursday, Michael Kendricks. There's

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a chance, Yeah, there's a chance he plays. I mean

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>just because again he hasn't played all preseason, and still

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>want to get him, still want to get him those

0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>live reps and uh and get him ready for Please

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Tree Furdon has had a good game the other night

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>catching the ball. Has he developed enough as a blocker

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>for you to have confidence in him starting Week one

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>with him in two and three wide receiver at tight insets? Yeah,

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>but but but I'm not going to ask him to

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>necessarily block a ton. You know, that's just not his chemistry,

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.199
<v Speaker 1>that's not his makeup. He's he's better route runner, and

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>he's very good in space, you know, away from the ball,

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.679
<v Speaker 1>which which you saw the other night. And and uh,

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, so you know, his strength is definitely not

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 1>not blocking. But but we're still going to ask him

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and put him in those situations. But I mean, the

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>three tights to be able to sell the fact that

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 1>he can blocks. Yeah, and where we put him in

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>those alignments too, I mean, yeah, we did rubber stars

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that chased to play Thursday night, Nelson night. Yeah, Nelson

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>probably not, um, you know, probably not. Um you know

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>right now, I think you're looking at um, you know,

0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Josh Huff might get a might get a play or

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>two here there early in this game. Plus we gotta

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 1>we got a factor in special teams too. With some

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of this, I mean you just can't sit everybody. Special

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 1>teams becomes a big factor, uh in what we do

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Thursday night. But um, of course d GB we get

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.840
<v Speaker 1>we get some more reps um and then we want

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to see all the young guys. That's just my decision.

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:26.199
<v Speaker 1>Why why well, one, you don't one, you know, I

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:30.959
<v Speaker 1>don't want to risk an injury necessarily too. He's he's

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>he's right on track where he needs to be. Um,

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, And so I'm not I'm not concerned with Nelson.

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Why struggling right now, seems like he's struggling. Drop passes consistency.

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Why you know, every day he comes out here and

0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.679
<v Speaker 1>he puts in a quality day's work, and he works

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>extremely hard, and I've seen what he can do in practice,

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and um, is there the occasional you know, drop here there. Yeah,

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>But but you know what, it doesn't led him what

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>he did after the drop. You probably didn't notice the

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>blocking he did down the field, the things he did

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>away from the ball, you know, more than being a

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.839
<v Speaker 1>receiver is obviously catching the balls number one. But you know,

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>we pride ourselves and being physical in the run game

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and blocks down the field, and the things he did

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>in this football game put him in a really good

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>position going into the regular season. So he's everybody's working

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 1>through some things right now. We were we perfect, No,

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don' want to. You're never going to

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>be perfect. We strive for it, but you're never going

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to be perfect. And and you know, I challenged him

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the other night just to be great. You know who

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>wants to be great, you know, And if you strive

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 1>for it and you come up a little bit short,

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that's all I can ask for, you know. But collectively,

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>we did a nice job and ended up winning the

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 1>game and cut the turnover down, we cut the penalties down,

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>our red zone efficiencies great, third down's great. So it's

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 1>a team sport and um, we'll continue to work every

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 1>single day for the common goal. Are you expecting Isaac

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Beck will be And how did Whiz a little ad

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>left carnage play will just look great. Whizz filled in

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and wonderfully got all the reps during the week. UM,

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought the offensive line played extremely well. He's a

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 1>veteran guy, played a lot of games in this league,

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>so he fitted in really well. UM. In Isaac's situation,

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.959
<v Speaker 1>you know right now, he day to day, but we

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>would expect him, along with those other guys I mentioned,

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 1>to be back next week. UM, and then obviously we'll

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>make a we'll make a determination going forward who will

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 1>be the who will be the starting five? You know

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.199
<v Speaker 1>against Cleveland with Josh, you had given him the ball

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>choice one handoffs and I got him want to quick

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 1>splat with that by design, trying to get find easy

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>ways to get him the ball so that he uses Yeah,

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, I went into that game. I wanted to

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>put some guys in different positions, and that's why you

0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>saw guys like Josh and Trey and you know in

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 1>those types of uh situations for us to want to

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>see him in that spot. We've seen him out here

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>in practice do it, and wanted to expose him during

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the game that way. And and uh, um, you know,

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Josh is that type of guy. He's a he's a

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 1>short intermediate receiver, good quickness, uh, great with the ball

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 1>in his hands. Obviously a hum it as a runner.

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's got that in from college. And and

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to, um, you know, put the ball in

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 1>his hands as fast as we could, you know, in

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>those situations, and and and see what he could do.

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.960
<v Speaker 1>And he had, he had his best game in the preseason.

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, Thanks guys. Thanks
