7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: we'll see where he's at today. Guys, do you have

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: any concerns that any of them may not be available

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: for the playoff game? Or I'm just going by today's

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: sale goes after the game. I was gonna say with that, Doerty,

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: what do you see as the pros or the coms

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: or positives of playing him or just having him return

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: in the playoffs? Like? Is that risky? Do you want

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: him to get some work game work in before then? Yeah? No, Look,

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: we'll go through today, we'll talk to the trainers of

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: the medical staff, and we'll do what's right for the

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: player and what's right for us. Are you willing to

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: reveal if you're sitting any starters yet? What till? What

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: time is it today? I will be here Friday evening.

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Good question. Thanks m Dave's this part of your reluctance

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: for that, um obviously jokes aside, but yeah, you want

22
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: to finish the week out with with your guys and

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: and let's see where you're at after today's practice. Yeah,

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd say that every week is you know,

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 1: we don't talk a lot about injuries or who's playing.

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: We can go through the week of practice. We do

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: the same thing. You know, week one is you know

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: we have our meeting after practice. Do you want to

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: talk you know, after practice in the evening Saturday, and

30
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: we just it's when we make our decisions. What are

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: you looking to get out of the same promising play

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: a good football game? To say that, like preseason game,

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: you wouldn't play your starting quarterback. You're not playing here.

34
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: You have that the quarterback with the offensive line. Right,

35
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: one more time, if you're playing your offensive you don't

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: ever play starting quarterback. If you're not playing your offensive

37
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: line itself like a Bangers not playing and Evans not playing,

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: then you wouldn't play your quarterback either. Right, we'll talk

39
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: about that tonight. Your thought process on playing starters changed

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: it all during the week or is it you kind

41
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: of had your mind made up and no, that's why

42
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna mean, we talked during a week, but we'll

43
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: make our final decision after practice show goes and again

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: decide what we think is right for our team. Will

45
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: you discuss it all with players, like what you take

46
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: with what they feel? Or is it with guys that

47
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: they are always gonna want to play? So yeah, I

48
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: just look, they're told you're gonna be ready to play,

49
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: and that's your job. Did you see any sense and

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: playing guys for like a series or two series or

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: is it all or nothing? Whenever you decide, that's what

52
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: we'll That's what we'll talk about tonight. Okay, so that

53
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: is an option. I'd say everything is everything is an option. Um,

54
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: But again, whatever we think is right, um, that's what

55
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: we'll do. A couple of your players yesterday to me

56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: went through the idea that all of this really started

57
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: in the spring with their great attendance, with the way

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: that you introduced yourself and your staff to them. I

59
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: know that's big picture and you may not like that

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: kind of a question either, but do you in any

61
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: way look now at where your team is and say

62
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: it really did start months and months ago with those

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: introductions and the commitment by those players. Yeah. No, I

64
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: think what you do is you try to build the

65
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: best team you can. UM. I think building a team

66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: is more important than just collecting talent. I think Joe

67
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: has done a really good job with his staff of

68
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: bringing people in that fit the criteria that we look for,

69
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: and certainly being around the guys and the chemistry. I

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: think that's really important. I think there's hidden points in

71
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: team chemistry, there's shining points and camaraderie. Um. You know,

72
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: so we had great attendance in the off season and

73
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: that let in the trade in camp and you know,

74
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: the experiences that you share with one another. I think

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: those are important definitely. But bringing in the right kind

76
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: of guys that do the right thing, UM, that are consistent,

77
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: that work on improving, UM, that played well together, I

78
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: think yeah. I think that starts, you know, back in

79
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: April and May, and you just try to improve it

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: as the season goes on. So much Wednesday about the

81
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: Tomorrow Hamblin situation. What was it like for you to

82
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: get the more recently awesome? Awesome? I mean it's yeah,

83
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: it's probably uplifting for the entire league. Here in what

84
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: you just heard when I was coming out here, just

85
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: so thankful that he's trending in the right direction. Um,

86
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: but it definitely gives you a boost, you know, because

87
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: you're praying so hard for the young man and to

88
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: see him improve or to hear about him improving the

89
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: way he's improving. It's just it's an awesome thing. It's

90
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: awesome since you're building something long term here too. He's

91
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: a week like this a good opportunity to get a

92
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: look at players you haven't gotten a look at in

93
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: real game yet. Well, we look at we evaluator guys

94
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: every day. Um, at practice, they're getting a ton of reps. H.

95
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: You know, you only have so many players on your roster,

96
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: so you know, whoever's playing out there would be a

97
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: good opportunity for him, whether that's guys that have played

98
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: a lot um or guys that haven't. Two guys you

99
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: picked up on waivers just a couple of weeks ago,

100
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: uh Ron Davis. And why are they guys that since

101
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: they're on the active roster at this point, maybe they

102
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: see a little bit more time on Sunday. Yeah, I'll

103
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: just say everybody, that's everybody that's on the active rosters

104
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: each week, not just this week. Each week has to

105
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: be ready to play, and and those guys have spent

106
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: a lot of time with their coaches trying to get

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: out to speed with how we do things. Um, you know,

108
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: it's not easy to come in and only for a

109
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: few days and be able to play. But they're trending

110
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: in the right direction terms of learning our material and

111
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: being able to execute the things we're asking the execute.

112
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: But it's fair to say, I would think that you know,

113
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: you know what's on deck for next weekend, there are

114
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: guys here who maybe don't have that resume to say

115
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: we can trust these guys in that opportunity. I mean,

116
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: this could be an opportunity for guys to show you

117
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe maybe you aren't where you should

118
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: be in our plans for a week from now. Yeah,

119
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: I say they have to. They gotta show it every day.

120
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: We would never put a guy out there that's not

121
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: prepared to play in terms of physically or mentally. The

122
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: weather it's called war. The weather is kind of lousy

123
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: way out here today. Well, I would say our groundskeepers,

124
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: Rob and Bobby an Ox, you know, they did it.

125
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: They put a tarp on it a few days ago,

126
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: so we went out and tested it. This morning. UM,

127
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: make sure it's safe for the players. They were in

128
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: here really early taking it off, so the field is

129
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: good to go on, so we'll be outside. Would be

130
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: your team from I know it wasn't that long ago,

131
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: but they beat you're pretty handily the first time from

132
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: when you play them, so or weeks back at this point,

133
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: U in what regard like, have you seen growth in

134
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: your team in that time? Like do you do you

135
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: look at your team differently now maybe that you did

136
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: six weeks ago? Yeah, I would. I wouldn't say, you know,

137
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: you have each week you try to improve. That's what

138
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: you try to do, whether you win or whether you lose.

139
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: And I think each week, you know, we get a

140
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: little bit better. Again, the results might not be what

141
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: you want him to be, but I think that you know,

142
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: as the season goes on, you look for improvement, and

143
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: I think we've improved a little bit each week. I

144
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: know the focus is on you and yourselves going into

145
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: the weekend. Do you mention at all what's at stake

146
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: for the Eagles, what this means for your division? And

147
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: why why wouldn't you take that approach? I just focus

148
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: on what we need to do to try to win

149
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: a game, when are musts, go out there and prepare well, practice,

150
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: just like it was when you were asking me, you

151
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: know this is for the playoffs, like I think, you

152
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: just focus on the week. That's again my mentality, that's

153
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: what will always be and um, that's the consistent approach

154
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: that I try to use.
