1 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: Hold him, guys, coach, you got any update on Zach 2 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: and uh, we'll get an MRI tomorrow on it. I 3 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: think the initial evaluation was was positive, but we'll certainly 4 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: get that reconfirmed tomorrow. Did he get hit the helmet, 5 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: hit his knee? Could tell the guy get went low 6 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: on him, is what I was told. I didn't see 7 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: the play. Randy Gregory had been out there for the 8 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: first time, and your impressions of what he did. Hard 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: to tell exactly how he played, but it looked like 10 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: he played with a good spirit, was active, looked like 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: it was around the quarterback a few times get off. Uh, 12 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: he looked quick and explosive and uh, you know, he 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: looked like himself. He's a really really natural pass rusher 14 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: with a lot of skills. So he played ten snaps 15 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: in the game, which is the number that we wanted 16 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: for him, and hopefully this will be a stepping stone 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: for for more action in the future. That those four practices, 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: how much did he lobbied to play tonight or with 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: that the goal all along and get him in the head. Yeah, 20 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: once we saw in practice, we anticipated him being able 21 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: to play in this game. I mean, certainly he's been 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: wanting to play the whole time, so we wanted to 23 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: be deliberate with him, and he went through all the 24 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: steps that we wanted him to go through, and he 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 1: practiced well, so we thought this was the right number 26 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: of snaps for him tonight. It looks like he handled 27 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: it well. What was your thought over all the first 28 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: half defense shutting them out. I thought we did some 29 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: really good things really in all three phases in the 30 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: first half. I thought the mix of running pass on offense, 31 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: our ability to control the ball, cashing on drives was 32 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: all very positive. The defense got off the field on 33 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: third downs early, they took the ball away twice. Dan 34 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Bailey was out there and made a field goal for us, 35 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: look comfortable, look good on his extra point. I thought 36 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: all that stuff was really really positive for us. The 37 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: disappointing part was the second half. And you know, the 38 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: message to the team is the twos and threes have 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: to be able to maintain that standard that was established 40 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: in the first half. And that's a little bit what 41 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: happened last week against San Francisco. So we're looking for 42 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: guys who can play the way we want to play, 43 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: and you know, we have ninety guys in our team 44 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: right now. We're going down to fifty three and a 45 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, so these guys we'll get another opportunity 46 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: to show that they can be a part of it. 47 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: But the evaluation isn't necessarily against the other guys in 48 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: the rooms, against the standard of how we want to play, 49 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: and it wasn't good enough in the second half. What 50 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: do you think of Jackson late? Look like he got 51 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: some you know, he got some opportunities, found some creases. 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: Looked like he ran with quickness and explosiveness, but he 53 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: also was physical and made some big plays for us 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: on both injury and also Xavier Woods. Yeah, Bo, we 55 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: anticipated him being able to come back in the game 56 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: and we held him out and then Xavier heard his hamstring. 57 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: So we'll evaluate that in the morning. Do you know 58 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: how to concerned you are about Jack Martin Again, the 59 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: doctors were somewhat optimistic based on the initial evaluation, but 60 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: we'll see more tomorrow. Concerned the safety of the Woods 61 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: now having half strink, he lose showers until a knee injury. 62 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: Knee Cable still has his knee issue. Yeah, we have 63 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: we have a numbers issue there right now, so we're 64 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: all have to evaluate who's going to be available for us, 65 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: and we have to if we have to go get 66 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: somebody else. Dak looked good again time he was in 67 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: his first half. Yeah, it looked very comfortable and confident. 68 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: Made some plays in the pocket, made some plays out 69 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: of the pocket, and uh, you know, I just think he, uh, 70 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: he's really running the show the right way. He's got 71 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: great command of what we want to do and consistently 72 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: allowing us to move the football. And it was good 73 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: to see him cash in on the one drive, you know, 74 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: the scramble played to the left to Terrence, a really 75 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: good job by Terrence, having great poise by Dak at 76 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: the end of the down. So he had a really 77 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: good outing gat you know, two catches, two third down catches. 78 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: He and Dak seemed to have a little cachmeratry. I 79 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: mean a lot of guys been in and out, but 80 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: he's been out the whole time. Yeah, you know, And 81 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: I do think they have some time on task, and 82 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: I think that's helped him. I think Dak is confident 83 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: in him. You know, there's some mand de man routes 84 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: and he won on those slants and Doc delivered the 85 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: ball and he finished the play, So those are those 86 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: are those are big plays for him. It's good to 87 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: see him getting that work and coming through for us. 88 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: We're forcing you to make some herder decisions and herder 89 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: decision on the d line. Well, I don't think we're 90 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: there yet. I mean what we want to do with 91 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: him is continue to get him out there. And he 92 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: had a good week of practice, good tense snaps tonight, 93 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: and we'll continue to progress with him. But he certainly 94 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: looks like he's comfortable and confident. He's getting better every day. 95 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: Talk about Jackson would starting with Rod Smith. I mean, 96 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: he had a big game last week again, place Z. Yeah, 97 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: this is a valuable time for him, It really is. 98 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: You know, we kept Zeke out again this week, and uh, 99 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: that gives Rod an opportunity and uh, you know, to 100 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: run the football, to play on third down, to be 101 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: a receiver, really to do everything that we'd ask our 102 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: number one guy to do. And again he seems confident, 103 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: he seems comfortable, he's playing with decisiveness, he's aggressive and 104 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: physical at the end of runs. So it really looks 105 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: like he's he's playing well advantage of his opportunity tonight. Yeah, 106 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: Shaun Lee out there and I just should thoughts and 107 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: initially seeing him out, yeah, it was good to see 108 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: him out there. I think he ended up playing eight 109 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: to ten snaps in the game, and that's really the 110 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: number we wanted to have him at. And uh, you know, 111 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: he just he looks like himself. He's worked very hard, 112 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: you know, throughout training camp and you know, he just 113 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: plays the game the right way, great intensity, He's got 114 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: a physical nature to him and the guys follow him. 115 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: So it's good to see him out there running around. 116 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: Byron and Cheetah, I mean clear Cheeto I think great 117 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: in his EPs with both guys, and they have to 118 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: get eight great camps and have taken to thee. They're 119 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: really doing a good job and they're around the ball 120 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: and they're making plays. The Cheetah interception was it was 121 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: it was an outstanding play. You know, he's really a 122 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: ball guy and he's got so much athletic ability, but 123 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: he's got a really good feel for playing too. And 124 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: again Byron was around the ball a lot, you know, 125 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: both as a past defender picked up the fumble. And 126 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: those guys are active and I keep saying this, but 127 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: they're getting more and more comfortable, and I think they're 128 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: gaining more confidence and what we're asking him to do. 129 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: So it was good to see both those guys show 130 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: up in the game. Taco Charles and Might his presence, Yeah, 131 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: talk with it. A good job rushing, you know, Uh, 132 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: anytime you can sack the quarterback, you know, that's a 133 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: difference making play in the game. And you know, I 134 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: was watching him closely on that play. Did a good 135 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: job pushing the pocket and ultimately collapse and finishing the down. 136 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: And he's got great length and you know, he's playing 137 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: better and better and better. So it's good to see 138 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: him out there. He played a lot of snaps in 139 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: the game, and that's a good thing for him and 140 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: a good thing for us. A learning experence from Mike 141 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: White and those two keet there downs there down to 142 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: stretch for you you know, you know, all those situations 143 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: are great and uh, you know sometimes you try to 144 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: create him a little bit in the preseason. You know, 145 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: we went for it on the one fourth down. You know, 146 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have done that, but really you just want 147 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: to see how guys respond to it, and you want 148 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: to see how the offensive guys respond to it. You 149 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: want to see how the defensive guys respond to it. 150 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: And unfortunately we didn't convert it, but the defense was 151 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: able to get the ball back for us. But then 152 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: Mike gets another chance in the two minute, and uh, 153 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: you know it's we do everything we can to create 154 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: those kinds of situations in practice, but there's nothing like 155 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: a game situation. A two minute we have to go 156 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: down and and somehow, some way get the team into 157 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: the end zone. So he'll learn from those experiences, he'll 158 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: get better because of it. Do you have any thoughts 159 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: at this point, Jason, exactly how much the starters will 160 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: play in dress rehearsal next Sunday nine. Really haven't had 161 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: those conversations yet. You know, we'll evaluate this game and 162 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: you know we'll have a good week of practice. Wen't 163 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: really talking about that game till the middle of the week. 164 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: Is this the kind of a woozy a that y'all 165 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: have been seeing every day at camp? You know, he 166 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: just seems to show up every day. You know, he's 167 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: a really serious minded guy. He loves football, and he's 168 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: very athletic.
