1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: I'll try to answer your questions. We're forty eight hours out. Um,

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: so I tried to mock up within reason because we

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: have ninety guys that wanted to make a little longer.

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: What what a typical Friday would look like. You go fast, um,

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: you blink fast, very little tolerance for mistakes, We over

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: exaggerate communication, getting in out of the huddle, hit all.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: There as many situations as possible, um, and kind of

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, cap off the preparation before you have the

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: day before walk through. So that's what you saw today,

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: all right, I'm sorry you do with traditional walk through

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: day Tomorrow is a mock game. So with yeah, i'll

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: have a traditional schedule. I think we've already talked about that.

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: But they'll come in on Monday. We'll watch the tape, UM,

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: settle all debts anything happened over the weekend on Monday.

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: That way, if they're a little angry with me, they

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: can go home on their off day and simmer down

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: and then come back on Tuesday and then um, basically

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: I think it's important to clean up the game film

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: and otherwise and then come back Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: train and then on Saturday have a traditional mock game,

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: which is more more mental. Well, he practiced today, as

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: you saw, so we're getting them back out there. You know,

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: he's coming back from his tweak. We're gonna be We're

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: gonna be It's very important for guys to practice. Good question.

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: I meant to get him into another prestseason game. We'll see,

26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: We'll see, you know again, we'll see not as good

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: a question, but I'll try to give you a good answer.

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: We'll see how you started to say, we're gonna be

29
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 1: about what was that next word, We're gonna be smart.

30
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: I think that's a repeat too. Be you okay with

31
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: going into week one without having had Backham and Bark

32
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: we both on the field and game together. We'll see

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: if that actually happens. Actually, how important is it to

34
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: ghet O'Dell in the preestason game in your mind, considering

35
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: he's coming back from that injury, like he said, Well,

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: we're trying to be smart with it. And we'll see,

37
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see he's gotten so much work behind

38
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: the scenes and um, we'll just have to see how

39
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: it plays out. I want of the differences between now

40
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: when you're play before, is there's no longer been cut

41
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: down to seventy bodies. Good point. How does that change

42
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: the mentality of approach in those last couple of weeks.

43
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: It really doesn't. You know, where the real challenge comes

44
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: is for the personnel people, because now you know the

45
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: markets flooded with players, as opposed to doing it in segments,

46
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: where then you can decide if the guys that were

47
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: cut fit your roster or would upgrade a group. Now

48
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of players all out there at

49
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: one time, and so that's that's where the challenge is.

50
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: That's a much better question for the personnel into things.

51
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I think it challenge is transitioning from Warner to say again,

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: how it is Gay handled that challenge? Uh, Well, certainly,

53
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: as a safety you have to communicate more, but he's

54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: been a nickel player before, so typically you've got to

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: communicate on the inside of the defense. I think he's

56
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: done a good job with it. Um. Certainly, when you

57
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: play the back end, you gotta be able to play

58
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: the middle of field and play down a man and

59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: zone from there, and then you have to be able

60
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: to tackle um, which he's been able to do. So

61
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: we feel like he can make the transition. We'll just

62
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: see how it plays out. What's b W I've done

63
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: to kind of get that upper handed at the nickel spot.

64
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he's got the upper hand. I mean

65
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: that's you know. What I would say is he's done

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: a good job to this point, and he's done a

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: good job covering the slot and covering outside. So that's

68
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: that's why he's like, you know, he's got our attention.

69
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: You know, you said you were in a fan of

70
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: the term dress rehearsal. But do you think he's a beat?

71
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: You're started from two series, been like three or four

72
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: last week? Do you make speating him getting Typically typically

73
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: the starters play more in this third preseason game. How

74
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: much stock do you put in this game in general

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: and your evaluations? It's part of it. It's one of

76
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: the four games that we look at, you know, and

77
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: it's just like any other game. You know, I think

78
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: you gotta put equal stock in all the games. You know,

79
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: It's it's not like old Catholic school. You know, you

80
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: could throw out your worst test. You know you can't.

81
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: You can't. You know, they all count. Everything counts, and

82
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: so what you hope to see is players play better

83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: as they go so if they played quite a bit

84
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: to this point and they've kind of had a you know,

85
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: good performance, you'd like to see him play better. How

86
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: do you like do you one of some things out

87
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: of out of uh pressway in the Yeah, you expect

88
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: that he'll be able to play come. Yeah, good question,

89
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Darrell Pressley. He's a guy that I'm familiar with from Minnesota.

90
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: He competed hard for us there. He's tough guy, he's fast,

91
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we're gonna get him in the

92
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: game and he's gonna play for us. And uh, he's

93
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: a terrific young man as well. Plus it was easy

94
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: to get him here he was down there in Delaware,

95
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: so it's a quick dry up. But yeah, we like

96
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: what we've seen in the past, and he's gonna get

97
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: his opportunity. What do you like about John he's having Uh.

98
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: John's very smart, he blinks fast, he makes good decisions

99
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: in terms of getting us going the right direction. Um,

100
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: you know, and he's generally played center center well forced

101
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: to this point. Admiration for a guy who's kind of

102
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: stuck to it like that. I'm fond of guys that

103
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: got some scars and some adversity and they've pushed through it.

104
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: The one thing about guys that pushed through adversity, you know,

105
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: they develop a mindset to handle adversity when it comes

106
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: down the road. Sometimes you guys that haven't had to

107
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: face much and then all of a sudden they're faced

108
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: with a third in five in the stadium. Um, you

109
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: don't know what their mechanisms are. So, but he's done

110
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: a good jam. Had Grant Haley undrafted Grant Haley? Of course?

111
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: What have you seen from him? He's a competitive guy,

112
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: and he keeps He's tough, and he plays very hard,

113
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: and I think he's made improvements and I think that's

114
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: what you like to see from a from a young man.

115
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: What's the thought about? Um? About Washington, Sonny Peterson and

116
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: guy who Pipson have to play against twice? Now I'm sorry? What? Oh,

117
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson? Yeah, he's an outstanding player. I mean that

118
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: goes without saying. So he's a hard runner, and so

119
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: our guys are gonna have to make sure they get

120
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: their pazzle to tackle him when he's in there. That

121
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: one more blinks fast, makes good decisions, doesn't doubt things.

122
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: So when they see it, they know what they're looking for.

123
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: When they see it, they pull the trigger.
