1 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: You say it's unlikely tarn Smith is able to play 2 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: this week, and how tarn Steele looked with an extra 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: week of working in a tern steel take all the 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: reps left tackle again today? You know, if tiring It 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: doesn't practice tomorrow, he won't be available. That's that's kind 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: of the timeline that we're on. So serve ecause an 7 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: option for this or are you looking at that? Um? 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: That's I mean, you know, I think you look at 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: all the options. But you know my understanding through the 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: rehab process will be able to come back. But the 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 1: decision on the brand age and I are just how 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: is how do these new rules change the way that 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 1: you'll have those conversations and is it easier to make 14 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: these types of moves the things because of the new 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: window and the rules that the way they are significantly 16 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: he's here. Um, I think clearly the fact that you 17 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: know you have a three week window and when you're 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: dealing with multiple week injuries, you know fall into that timeline. 19 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: You know, I think it's uh helped every team dramatically. 20 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: I mean the fact that you can put players on 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: and off and you know, and still utilize all the 22 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: players you have in your building. And you continue to 23 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: develop them too. So yeah, I think it's a huge 24 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: benefit and I am hopefully that they stay with this 25 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: this roster structure moving forward. Does anything about Randy's status 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: impact The Marcus has come back, but what you guys 27 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: deal with him? No, Yeah, it's separate. I mean it's 28 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: you've got to trust to the injury rehab process and 29 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: you know it's yeah, I mean, you know, return to 30 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: play has to stay the same. I don't think you 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: you do that one way or the other. So, I mean, 32 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: as soon as the Marcus is ready, you know, we 33 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: obviously like to get them back out there. Still a 34 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: couple of weeks making progress, Yeah, probably a couple of weeks. 35 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: Dad mentioned that he felt like his footwork and mechanics 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: for our plastic and I was contributing to his accuracy. 37 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: Have you seen him and frets that week? And how 38 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: key is that for? I think the biggest thing you 39 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: see with Dak is, you know, we've been limiting him 40 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: in footwork, the drills, particularly to the quarterback school, so 41 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: we're this week he took everything, So I think just 42 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: shows you the focus and the detail that he has 43 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: in the fundamentals. So um, hopefully with other weeks. You know, 44 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: full week of work will feedback where we need to be. 45 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: So the players talk about the practices, about their standing 46 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: the last two weeks, how practice has done this week. 47 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: I thought yesterday's was was a good practice. You know, 48 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: we still had some corrections that you know what happens, 49 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the look team not giving the 50 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: exact look that you're looking for, and you know some 51 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: of the adjustments. This is a this will be a 52 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: particular game where you know Atlanta's offense is and a 53 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: lot of different personnel groups, so it'll be a lot 54 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: of rotation, you know, an ability to match it or 55 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: not match it, you know, different for us, you know, 56 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: for for how we're approaching the game. So there's more 57 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: schematically and players specific challenges this week and probably some 58 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: of the weeks in our in our prior contest, you 59 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: have an angry team where we focused team or would 60 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: you say, would you see in practice this week We're like, 61 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: what's the first one angry team where we focused team? Well, 62 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: probably a little bit of both, you know, and frankly 63 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: kind of just some things in the team meeting because 64 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: I think they need to loosen up a little bit 65 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: so um, you know, I think they've been very accountable 66 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: and it was clearly reflected you know, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. 67 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: So um, you know I feel confident that will respond. 68 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: What do you need to lose it up? Uh? Just 69 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think people, you know, people handle challenges differently, 70 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, and I think and when you try to 71 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: define what focus or refocus means, you know, it's you know, 72 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: we don't want to change the personality or the energy, 73 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: you know, level of what we got going here. You know, 74 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: we talk about culture and character. This is this is 75 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: when you know, culture is reflected to an adversity. I mean, 76 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: it's all you know, it's it's it's nice to go 77 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: through stretches where everything's positive. So, you know, just the 78 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: way they respond, and you know, a big part of 79 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: our team is the energy and enthusiasm that they bring 80 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: to the table every day. So we definitely don't want 81 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: to lose that. What did you change, Well, just kind 82 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: of back a little bit, you know, just cut back 83 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: on some of the things that we normally do. And 84 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: we have a segment called Brotherhood where we spending we 85 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: spending a the Bengo machine with a you know what 86 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: a ball comes out with your number of name on it, 87 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: and you are given the privilege to come up to 88 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: the room and speak on a few things. So that's 89 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: what we did this morning for a probably runs that game. Uh. 90 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: And I'm a big fan of the Bengo, so I 91 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: can I can spend a mean I can spend a 92 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: mean Bingo ball. So it's just periodically, you know. It's 93 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: it's really you know, just based on what's going on. 94 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: But I think we did four guys this morning. So 95 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: is it like the NBA lobry where you make sure 96 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: like the right balls come out of the thing. There 97 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: was a time that may have happened. Yeah, so it's uh, 98 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: riche appreciate. It's more like the Nick Perry triple sevens 99 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: or triple six is triple six is back in every Friday? 100 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: It depends. No, It's it's not like, hey, I do 101 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: it every Friday. You know, It's it's something that we 102 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: do throughout we're normally doing a training camp and then 103 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: you know throughout the season, it was it's what time 104 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: to bring it back? It's because of haven't done in 105 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Yeah, that also mentioned the layoff yesterday. 106 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: I guess from the outside, it doesn't seem like three 107 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: weeks training a long time. But what's your view of 108 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: that kind of layoff when it you know, somebody playing 109 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: that position at this kind of level. Oh, I just 110 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: think it tells. It speaks to the difference of you know, 111 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: the difference between being on or slightly off. I mean, 112 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: I think it's you talk about tom clocks, you talk 113 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: about you know, the efficiency, you know, route running, particularly 114 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: in the red zone, you know, all all those little things, 115 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: and I just think that there's nothing like live action, 116 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, and you try to emulate that and practice 117 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: the best you can, you know, but you also have 118 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: a you know, a safety risk you know that you're 119 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: dealing with. But you know, I think that's that's why 120 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: we practice the way we do. And I mean I 121 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: think when you watch him work throughout the week, you know, 122 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: his intensity and his workouts is unique. It's high, very 123 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: high as far as you know, the amount of time 124 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: and that he puts into little things. So not having 125 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: the footwork drills and some of the things that we 126 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: just you know, we had to cut something back, you know, 127 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: him coming off the injury. Thank you, Thank you.
